'Shame on you': Rihanna slams Snapchat for showing a 'tone deaf' ad that many thought made light of Chris Brown's attack on her

"I'd love to call it ignorance, but I know you ain't that dumb," Rihanna said.

On Thursday, Rihanna called out Snapchat for showing a now-deleted ad that seemingly made light of domestic violence.
The singer posted a statement on her Instagram Story criticizing the app for "[spending] money" on something "that would intentionally bring shame to [domestic violence] victims."
Snap apologized earlier this week for showing the ad, which appeared to joke about Chris Brown's 2009 conviction for assaulting Rihanna.
In a statement to BBC, the company said the ad was "reviewed and approved in error."
Rihanna has called out Snapchat for showing a now-deleted ad that seemingly made light of domestic violence.
On Thursday, the singer posted a statement on her Instagram Story criticizing the app for "[spending] money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to [domestic violence] victims."

"All the women, children, and men that have been victims of [domestic violence] in the past and especially the ones who haven't made it out yet ... you let us down!" Rihanna continued. "Shame on you."
Snap apologized earlier this week after removing an ad that people called "insensitive" and "tone-deaf," BBC reported. The ad, which was apparently for a game, asked Snapchat users if they would rather slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown.
People quickly took to social media to criticize the ad, which appeared to reference, and joke about, Chris Brown's 2009 conviction for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna before the Grammy Awards.
"Is it just me or is this ad that popped up on my Snapchat extremely tone deaf?" Twitter user Royce Mann wrote. Mann also tweeted a screenshot of the ad.
—Royce Mann (@TheRoyceMann) March 12, 2018
Activist and writer Brittany Packnett called into question Snapchat's ad approval process. "I know that social media ads go through an approval process from the platform," Packnett tweeted. "This means @Snapchat approved an ad that makes light of domestic violence. The update ain't the only thing that's wack over there, friends."
—Brittany Packnett (@MsPackyetti) March 12, 2018
Agreeing with Packnett, Chelsea Clinton said it was "awful" that any company would approve the ad at all.
—Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) March 12, 2018
Other Twitter users called the ad "disturbing," "disgusting," and "disrespectful."
While Snap did not immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment, the company told BBC on Tuesday that the ad, which was only shown in the US, was published "in error."
"The advert was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines," Snap said in its statement to BBC. "We immediately removed the ad last weekend, once we became aware. We are sorry that this happened."
But Rihanna doesn't seem to be impressed by what the company has to say. After revealing that Snapchat was already not her "[favorite] app out there," the singer told the company to "throw [its] whole [apology] away."
People on social media have also interpreted Rihanna's comments as a call to "throw the whole app away" — and they're doing exactly that.

"Now SNAPCHAT I know you already know you ain't my fav app out there! But I'm just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess! I'd love to call it ignorance, but I know you ain't that dumb! You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to [domestic violence] victims and made a joke of it!!! This isn't about my personal feelings, cause I don't have much of them...but all the women, childrn, and men that have been victims of [domestic violennce] in the past and especially the ones who haven't made it out yet....you let us down! Shame on you. Throw the whole app-oligy away."

Zapatista Murals

I'm just back from three weeks in Mexico, most of which I spent traveling with Mazatl in Chiapas, the southernmost state and home to the Zapatista movement and its system of autonomous rural municipalities. These communities are built on land expropriated from underutilized ranches, owned by wealthy land-barons and seized from them during the initial uprising of indigenous communities on January 1st, 1994. That was the date that NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) took effect, something which has been utterly disastrous for Mexico in general and the indigenous Maya communities of Chiapas in particular.
This year was the 20th anniversary of that uprising, and Mazatl and I traveled to San Cristobal de las Casas in hopes of painting a mural to celebrate the fact.
We ended up, on New Year's Eve, in the more-or-less remote community of La Union, two hours from the seething tourist metropolis that San Cristobal has become, on muddy roads sticky with limestone dust. We spent the New Year in La Union's small Zapatista community's plank church, eating sweet breads and drinking coffee with 5 families loyal to the cause of the EZLN. The rest of the village is dominated by members of Mexico's mainstream political parties- many of whom were previously aligned with the Zapatista cause, but who have been seduced over the years by cynical offers of government largesse. I went to bed early, while Santi stayed up with the members of this small, embattled community to sing the Zapatista anthem at midnight and offer up a chorus of "Viva!" to everything that could be thought of that was good.
The next two days we painted furiously on the rough wood wall of the guest-house, where visitors to the community stay.
Up at dawn with the birds, the families of the community brought us coffee during the day, and pozol in the afternoon- a thick, lightly fermented corn mash that farmers drink all day long while tending their crops. In our discussions on themes, Santi and I had settled on the idea of snails, a central symbol of Zapatismo, carrying flying creatures. We wanted to try to communicate the slow and steady spirit that the project of autonomy represents; something unglamorous but persistent. "Slowly, but we're moving forward" reads the text at top. "Twenty years of dreams and struggle" reads the text at right. Here's a link to a GIF of Santi and I painting.
On the afternoon of the second day we were led up the nearby mountain for a swim in a series of cascades. The water was so thick with lime that trees fallen in the jewel-blue water had turned to stone.
On the following day we said goodbye to our hosts and traveled to the community of Moyses Gandhi, where we met up with a large contingent of people from Mexico and the US, including fellow Justseeds member Favianna Rodriguez and the Black Panther Party Minister for Culture- Emory Douglas. We set to work painting a new storefront, built at the crossroads in front of the reclaimed land which the community had seized 20 years ago and defended since.
It was a whirlwind of work, addressing four major themes of culture, production, health and education. Emory, spry at 70 and fresh from scrambling up the steep slick slopes of the village of Commandanta Ramona, climbed the rickety scaffold at the front of the store to paint an iconic Zapatista snail.
I'd been assigned production.
Mazatl did culture.
Favianna worked on education.
Caleb Duarte, who'd coordinated the project, worked on health.
These communities have been defending themselves for centuries, and the advent of Zapatismo is just the newest phase of their resistance to colonial imposition. Colleague Kehben Grifter of the Beehive Collective recently told me about Melipona bees, native to central America, grievously endangered and sacred, historically, to the Maya. There's a mythology that explains the diminishment of Melipona in the face of encroaching European bees as analogous to the banishment and dispossession endured by the Maya. The bees, however, endure, as do the people. Small movements, steady progressions, a stolid and stubborn persistence in the face of seemingly unsurmountable odds.
Viva! Thanks to all the friends and colleagues who helped to make this all work out the way it did.

KARAMOJA ATTRACTIONS
KARAMOJA WOMEN BIRDERS
The Karamoja Tourist Guides initiative was started in 2020 with support from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the Youth4Business Entrepreneurship and Innovation Challenge programme.
The initiative's main objective was to train young aspiring female tourist guides in Karamoja region so as to contribute towards the much needed human resources and promote business development in the tourism industry of North Eastern Uganda.
Guides Field Training
About 50 young women from the different districts (Kaabong, Abim, Kotido, Moroto, Napak, Nakapiripirit and Amudat) of Karamoja were selected and trained by Bird Uganda Safaris to become professional tourist guides.
To date, there over 10 female tourist guides who have been absorbed in the job industry and are working with companies like Karatunga Tours and Travels, Seven Rangers Hotel, Uganda Safari Guides Association and others.
Nature Guiding Experience
Why Karamoja?
Karamoja is a region located in the northeast of Uganda, covering the districts of Nakapiripit, Napak, Moroto, Kotido, Kaabong and Abim districts. According to the Uganda National Housing Survey (UNHS), the region is the least socially and economically developed with 61% of the total population of 1.2 million living in poverty. (UNHS 2016/2017).
The region has quite a young population with an average age being 15 years, of these more than half of them are females. They also have the highest fertility rate in Uganda, with the reproductive age of the women being between 15 and 49 years.
The region has faced a number of challenges including conflict from civil war, private ownership of guns, cattle rustling/raiding, poor infrastructure, severe environmental degradation, and limited access to health and educational services.
One of the toughest challenges the region is continuously facing is food insecurity brought by climate unpredictability and change which puts a lot of pressure on the already scarce resources. The region is plagued by recurring droughts, prolonged dry spells, and flash floods.
With these challenges, there was a serious need for an initiative to assist with redistributing wealth and opportunities. Such opportunities will enable the people of Karamoja to realize their basic human rights. There is a serious intervention required to strengthen the region's human capital competitiveness for sustainable wealth creation, inclusive growth, and equal employment opportunities.

Who doesn't love snuggling in a chunky knit, as the nights draw in and it gets chilly.
But while it can be cosy in there we all run the risk of turning our toned (ahem) physique into something that resembles a beer barrel.
Luckily we've got some clever tricks for warm and flattering fashion this autumn.
Wendy Rigg, senior fashion editor for Prima and Good Housekeeping, gives her top tips on how to stay warm, stylish and flatter your body shape this winter.
It's so easy to pull on a chunky sweater when you're cold but it's not going to do anything for your body shape, and could end up looking top heavy. 'Winter is all about clever layering and keeping cosy without adding bulk,' says Wendy.
Try this light grey cardigan on top of a roll neck to add warmth to your layers.
Getting the warmth of layers without losing all signs you ever had a waist can be tricky. But some clever tactics can help flatter your figure.
'Create a waist wherever you can by trying a thin belt over a cardigan, or a tie-belt coat,' Wendy says.
Dresses or coats with a tie belt around the waist work too, such as this flattering stone mac – wear with flats for the office and accessorise with heels and a statement necklace for drinks after work.
Chunky sweaters are cosy and can flatter – as long as you style them right.
Wendy advises that if you're going to go for a heavy, chunky knit on top, keep clothes tight fitting on the bottom half.

Think tank calls report's estimates on OSHA costs 'unreliable'
Washington – A Small Business Administration report released last year "vastly overstated" the costs associated with OSHA regulations, according to a new issue brief (.pdf file) from the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank.
The brief, released Aug. 22, claims several studies published this year found major flaws in the 2010 report (.pdf file), which suggested occupational safety and health rules cost $65 billion a year. Conducted by Nicole V. Crain and W. Mark Crain for the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy, the report's finding are based on a 2005 study (.pdf file) (originally published in 2001) that estimated the cost of safety and health regulations issued through 2000 and was based on a now-unavailable 1974 survey.
According to EPI, the SBA report does not account for production practices, changes or adaptations made for the regulations over the past 40 years, and the report's cost estimates are "unreliable" because they were made more than 10 years ago. The think tank said OSHA regulations issued in the last decade cost about $500 million, and modern business practices likely negate the cost of standards issued in prior decades.

Q: Resetting , unmounting screen in react native I used to work with react navigation 2.6.2 and everything was fine , but with react navigation 3.xx I faced the problem where the screen's state is never unmounted while switch between them. I was surfing solutions and finally I'm here.
Ive already looked up Stack Actions in docs, but they gave just a slice of code from what I didn't understand where to apply it, please help me.

A: So you are correct, with 3.x.x the way navigation works has changed. Moving from one screen to another does not actually unmount the previous one. This is because with 3.x.x the navigation stack uses the native behaviour which preserves the state of the previous screen when pushing a route.
React navigation instead fires events for willBlur, willFocus, didBlur and didFocus which can be used to detect when a user enters and exits a screen. You can take a look at the API spec for more details on the react navigation documentation

Male Defeats Sacred Heart in Seventh Region Semifinals
Jeff Woods
Male defeated SHA to advance to 7th Region Finals/ photo by Jeff Woods
One year ago, Male's season ended in a blowout loss to Sacred Heart in the region semifinals.
The Bulldogs turned the tables on the Valkyries Friday night.
Male led wire to wire in a 70-37 rout over Sacred Heart in the Seventh Region semifinals at Bellarmine. The Bulldogs advance to Monday's region final at Valley High School against Manual.
"All the credit goes to the coaches and players," said Male head coach Champ Ligon. "They've worked so hard the last two or three weeks. We had a lot of internal drama most of the season. But the last two or three weeks, everybody dedicated themselves to the cause. And it's not done yet. We have to take care of business on Monday.
"I've never seen a team prepare as hard for a game as they did for this one."
The Bulldogs closed the first quarter on a 10-0 run to take an early 16-4 lead. Their advantage only grew from there, as Male allowed just one Sacred Heart basket in the second quarter. The Valkyries were 3 of 27 (11.1 percent) from the floor in the first half and faced an insurmountable 27-point deficit at halftime.
For the game, Male outrebounded Sacred Heart 50 to 21.
"Male came out and knocked us in the gut, and we didn't respond," said Sacred Heart head coach Donna Moir. "They were physically bigger than us at every position. We worried about their second-chance points and their rebounding. And obviously, it showed. They just took it to us.
"I thought we weren't getting any good shots off our offense. And that's a tribute to Male. They were ready for us. I thought they played awesome."
Male senior Cameron Browning led the Bulldogs with a game-high 25 points, 15 of those coming in the first half. Destiny Combs and Alana Striverson also reached double digits before halftime.
On the flip side, Sacred Heart's trio of Kristen Clemons, Destinee Marshall, and Ashlee Harris scored eight points combined in the first half.
"We figured if we could control them and make some of the other players step up and beat us, we thought we'd be successful," said Ligon. "I think with Sacred Heart, they had some young players and I think they came out tight.
"We really came out from the start on defense, and I think that got them a little rattled."
The Bulldogs quickly turn their attention toward their arch rival Manual. The Crimsons defeated Eastern to punch their ticket to Monday's region final.
"We just had a great effort. Hopefully, we can do that Monday because if we don't, it doesn't really mean anything.
"It's not done by any means. We have to come back tomorrow and start working at it."
For Sacred Heart, the season ends with a final record of 24-8. Moir said multiple times this season how much she enjoyed coaching this team. And with Friday's game being the last for senior Ashlee Harris, the loss a little more difficult to swallow.
"Ashlee Harris is the epitome of any teammate," said Moir. "There's not anybody in the city of Louisville that doesn't cheer for Ashlee. She's the hardest working, nicest, best teammate there could be. It's tough for her because I know how much she wanted it and wanted it for everybody else, and how everyone wanted it for her. So, that's hard."

US 'hell-bent' on hostility despite talks, North Korea says
The leaders of North Korea, South Korea and the US have never before met all together
President Trump held a historic meeting with Kim Jong-un on Sunday
North Korea has accused the US of being "hell-bent on hostile acts", despite a recent agreement between the two countries to resume nuclear talks.
BBC understands that Pyongyang's delegation to the United Nations said on Wednesday that the US was "obsessed with sanctions".
This comes days after the countries' two leaders held a historic meeting in the heavily fortified demilitarised zone which divides the two Koreas.
And after talks that lasted for almost an hour, the pair agreed to set up teams to resume stalled negotiations on denuclearisation.
But the latest North Korean statement marks a shift in tone and a return to the angry exchanges that have marred relations between the countries in recent times.
North Korea also accused Washington of attempting to "undermine the peaceful atmosphere" on the Korean peninsula.
What did North Korea say?
The North Korean delegation said it was responding to a US allegation that it had breached a cap on refined petroleum imports that was set in 2017.
It also said it was responding to a joint letter sent by the US, France, Germany and the UK to all UN member states that called for further sanctions on North Korea.
The letter reportedly asked all members to send expatriate North Korean workers home.
"What can't be overlooked is the fact that this joint letter game was carried out… on the very same day when President Trump proposed [a] summit meeting," the statement read.
"[It] speaks to the reality that the United States is practically more and more hell-bent [on] hostile acts against the DPRK [North Korea]."
"All UN member states will have to keep vigilance against deliberate attempts by the United States to undermine the peaceful atmosphere that has been created on the Korean Peninsula," it said.
Pyongyang added that it was "quite ridiculous" for the US to view sanctions as a "panacea for all problems".
The US is yet to respond to the statement.
How are US-North Korea relations?
Negotiations with North Korea to try to convince it to abandon its controversial nuclear programme reached a peak last year when Mr Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un held a summit in Singapore.
They both committed to the "complete denuclearisation" of the Korean peninsula, but without clarifying what that meant.
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un: From enemies to frenemies
It was hoped their second meeting, in Hanoi in February, would make some concrete agreement about North Korea handing over its nuclear programme in exchange for some of the tight sanctions against it being lifted.
But those talks ended with no deal, as they failed to agree on the pace at which sanctions should be eased. Since then the negotiations have stalled, though Mr Kim and Mr Trump have exchanged letters.
At the meeting at the demilitarised zone on Sunday, their exchanges were largely complimentary.
Mr Trump – who once referred to Mr Kim as "little rocket man" – called their friendship "particularly great" and said it was a "great day for the world".

Wyeth, the country's leading drug company, was "stealing" money from the US government health care program called Medicaid by overcharging the price of Protonix, a drug for stomach acid attack, according to the Justice Department.
Meanwhile, two whistleblowers alleged that the drug manufacturer has manipulated the price of its products.
The US Justice Department on Monday accused drugmaker giant Wyeth of fraud and price manipulation over the federal health care program Medicaid to avoid rebates amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Wyeth, a New Jersey-based drug company, was accused of "stealing" money from the US government health care program by overcharging the price of Protonix, a drug for stomach acid attack.
The case stemmed from a complaint filed by two whistleblowers, who claimed that the pharmaceutical company has manipulated the pricing of its popular stomach acid drug by offering large discounts to hospitals for the two versions of Protonix for a period of six years, from 2000 to 2006.
Documents showed that the company has bundled the intravenous type of Protonox with the oral medicine in packages sold to hospitals in a bid to make more money from poor outpatients.
The law states that brand-name drug makers are strictly required to give similar rebates to State-funded Medicaid programs as to other customers who avail the drug.
If proven guilty, Wyeth will be slapped with fines that will amount three times the money Medicaid has lost during the period.
The Justice Department Assistant Attorney General Tony West pointed that the two whistleblowers are also entitled for a share that the government will acquire from the drug company if proven guilty.

The urban 'burb sits at the intersection of Hip and Livable.
Northside has been the It Girl of Cincinnati neighborhoods for a few years now. Comfortable and cool without losing its gritty edge, it's home to artist/creative types as well as a traditional working-class base.
You stand the chance of bumping into members of the pop-punk group Tweens, the main lineup of Wussy, and writers Michael Griffith and Leah Stewart just by heading out for a coffee at Collective Espresso.
Grooviest of all is Northside's walkability. Hamilton Avenue runs a curvy spine through the neighborhood, home to an array of commercial establishments including Shake It Records and Black Plastic Records; Helltown Workshop furniture-repair; Melt Eclectic Café, a farm-to-table, hippyish destination for lunchies across Cincinnati; Sidewinder Coffee, a bohemian hub serving everything from yerba maté to hot toddies; vintage boutiques like Chicken Lays an Egg and NVISION; the anti-hip Blue Jay diner; Thunder-Sky gallery, "a haven for creative outsiders" founded by short-story writer Keith Banner; and on Wednesdays, the Northside Farmers' Market, one of the most lively in the region and the source of fresh produce for The Littlefield and other locavore eateries.
Walking and bicycling is encouraged here (the small bikes with training wheels parked up and down Hamilton, as well as the MoBo Bicycle Cooperative, should be a clue). One easy destination is Spring Grove Cemetery, an unlikely (but gorgeous) hang-out spot. And every July there's the Independence Day parade, a miles-long spectacle that pays homage to irreverence as it honors tradition, helping make Northside a creative nexus with all the amenities of the good contempo-urban life.
The newly opened Northside Yacht Club on Spring Grove Avenue offers live music and a "vittles" menu with vegan and veg options.
Housed on the ground floor of the former American Can Factory, with a slew of loft apartments above it, Ruth's Parkside Café is a neighborhood joint in the best sense: a bright artists' hangout, with sculptural works hanging from the high-high ceiling, and a menu that's very veg-friendly.
Chicken Lays an Egg is more than a vintage shop. Recently relocated from Chase Avenue to a larger storefront on Northside's main drag, Chicken is part shopping experience, part Americana gallery. Looking for big, purple sunglasses and a story to go with them? This is your place.
Gantry Apartments, a large-scale residential development looming over the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Blue Rock Street, stands to permanently alter the old-timey feel of that intersection, for better or worse. But the classic buildings get their due: Kirby Lofts are slated for the 105-year-old Kirby Road School.

2018: A New Year, But is it Really a New You?
You're such a Peech, Welcome!
Every year we are filled with hope and inspiration for a new year, a fresh start, and a new mentality (hence, the creation of New Years resolutions.) However, most new years resolutions are completely abandoned by the time February rolls around, and I am no exception. I am the queen of abandoning resolutions for that chocolate bar that has been tormenting me for the past five minutes, but not this year! I have made a resolution to stick to my resolutions and with that challenge I thought of resolutions that could be realistic and provide the most personal progress. For instance I wouldn't make a resolution to cut out processed sugars, because not only is that the easiest resolution to give up within a week when I see that delicious chocolate bar at the market, but also it creates no mental progress. Yes, I may be a bit healthier but it's not a long-term solution. If my goal is to be healthier I believe the best way to go about it is create a healthier mind and then the body and food decisions will follow. 2017 was a year of hard knocks and the lowest of lows, but I am determined to make 2018 great so when next year on New Year's Eve rolls around I can be proud of the steps I took toward progressing myself. I hope this inspires all of you to really think about your resolutions this year and stick to them. I would also love to hear the resolutions you have for yourselves to inspire me!
So without a further a do here are my New Year's Resolutions!
I, for one, am horrible at this. I treasure my sleep above everything else. Yet, I have found that the days I do wake up at a decent hour in the morning( you know before 10 am) I feel the most inspired! I have so much energy, I get stuff done I wouldn't have if I woke up at noon, I end up setting goals for the day, I just overall feel happier and more productive. I love this resolution because it's also so broad, you can throw in so many more mini resolutions! For example, if I'm getting up earlier and utilizing my morningtime: I have time to make a nice, well-balance breakfast and maybe even lunch, as opposed to me running late because I pressed the snooze button one too many times and now I'm in the drive thru ordering an egg mcmuffin! Utilizing these morning hours will also make the day feel less cluttered and the whole day, just overall, way more enjoyable!
Every year I have bought a cute and aesthetically pleasing planner (sometimes a few of them too) and I never fail to either lose them or just give up in a week of using it. I believe planners can be so beneficial in being productive and definitely could be the cure for a cluttered mind, but sometimes it seems impossible for me to stick to it! I'm almost positive this could quite possibly be the most challenging resolution I have this year, but I WILL become one of those put-together gals that write down to do lists every morning and appointments for the week even if it kills me dammit! This is where utilizing my morning hours really comes in to play because, with my morning coffee anything is possible! Even horrible boring to do lists!
I know this one at first either sounds a little odd, or a little vain, heck that's what I would think! Trust me though, there is a reason behind this amazingly easy and wonderful resolution. For the past few weeks I've been filling my free time browsing through Pinterest, as us humans do, and I was paying a good bit of attention to the self progress posts (duh because New Year, New Me inspiration of course,) and I came across a post about being a more put-together you. Immediately caught my attention because what woman doesn't want to look effortlessly put-together all the time?! Here's the answer: EVERY WOMAN. Well, among the many great tips on how to be more put-together, keeping your nails and toes done really intrigued me! Because not only is that pretty easy and quite frankly enjoyable, but it makes so much sense! There is a quote by Coco Chanel that says "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life." But I say to you the same goes for a gal who just got her nails done! It instills a sense of confidence, and that can only be productive. Also if you feel tidy and put-together it will transfer into your life and you will find yourself keeping your home, car, maybe even your purse cleaner! Now who does not want that! You can pamper and progress yourself!
I am a VERY big fan of the road trip. Last year, I road tripped to Colorado by myself and it was an amazing eye-opening experience. This year I have the goal to drive to Colorado again so my friend can experience the beauty it holds. I hope to drive up the West Coast, go to San Fransisco maybe Sacramento, maybe even Joshua Tree and go camping a few days. I believe it's just a great resolution to get out and see the world more, nothing inspires like the open road and feeling like you're one with the world. Nothing inspires like pure beauty. Where do you want your travels to take you this year? Where do you feel most inspired?
Now this can be taken so many ways, that's why there is so much beauty and inspiration behind this resolution. Exploration is everywhere, even the tiniest discovery like a new song can feel monumental! I feel that this resolution provides a sense of hope and fuels the soul the most. Whether its discovering a cute little coffee shop in Laguna, or an amazing new hiking trail up the street, or even a new quality in yourself, the possibilities are endless. There is no limit to what you can discover, there's no limit to what you can accomplish, the limit does not exist.
So let us gather up our resolutions and stick to them! Stick to progress! Stick to making you a better you! Wishing you peace and happiness this 2018!
My name is Ariana aka the creator of Peechy Keen. I have made it my 2018 goal to take this blog seriously and put some blood and sweat into it. I love the blogging community and everything it inspires! I am currently working on the website making it user friendly and working on the cool gadgets. Peechy Keen is a work in progress but its also a fun way to grow with me. There will be posts being put out while I work out the kinks so come and learn and explore along with me!

Lucas has been that same happy, goofy dog ever since arriving at Best Friends. He's the kind of guy who can make you smile on the worst of days. Tax audit headed your way? Say hi to Lucas and you'll feel like you're in Disneyland. This is a dog who wakes up excited every single morning. He craves being the center of attention, loves people, and lives for play. How can you not feel good around a guy who does a dance of joy every time you walk in his play area?
After nearly a year and a half at the sanctuary, Lucas is still making friends whenever possible. He's always been a crowd pleaser, hamming it up for visitors and film crews alike. Not many dogs out there like to hop up on their dog house to be closer to the action. "Hey you! I'm up here!" But that's Lucas, through and through.
Like all the Vicktory dogs, however, even Lucas has had some issues to work through. Maybe he doesn't seem the type, but Lucas has shown a little fear in the past when visiting new places. In relocating to new play areas, for example, he even had difficulty eating until he grew more accustomed to his surroundings.
With help and encouragement, Lucas always manages to come out on top soon enough. Even so, his trainers and caregivers have been working hard to help him past those fears and hang-ups. The only thing constant is change, right? Lucas will be much better off if he can gain confidence with new things, as well as to overcome any other problems that may hold him back.
As such, dog trainer Ann Allums, along with the help of other trainers and caregivers, has come up with a life care plan for each of the Vicktory dogs, including Lucas. This is an ongoing, ever-changing plan that adapts to their needs. Included in the plan is everything from life priorities (training goals), training logs, sleepover records, assessments, and so forth. The life priorities are rewritten every week, depending on what needs attention.
For example, in the beginning they'd work on simple stuff with Lucas, like sit and down; then later added something a bit harder like riding in cars. In time, they moved on to stay, then loose leash walking, and so forth. All along, Lucas has made progress with confidence. He's now moved on to some trickier stuff, such as Canine Good Citizen (CGC) training. The goal of the life care plans for each of the Vicktory dogs is to "bring out the best potential in all of them," Ann explains.
All the little details and results from the training go into a thick green binder. This provides a way to track progress and help reevaluate direction as needed. The great thing about this type of training is that it's tailored to each dog. Lucas is a love sponge of the highest order, and he thrives on training and attention. Other dogs have a different MO. Thus, each has a life care plan that reflects his or her own individual quirks and needs.
The best part for Lucas is that he isn't even aware he's in a training program at all. For him, it's just one big day at the park after another. He continues to live for visits from caregivers and is always on the lookout for new faces. Even though he can't greet visitors in person (part of the court order on the Vicktory dogs), Lucas still enjoys saying hello through a fence. One volunteer, in fact, sat outside his play area one day and sang to him—oh, Lucas was in love!
So whether it's licking the faces of his caregivers, or whipping up a toy stuffing snow storm in July, Lucas continues to be one happy dog. And if his caregivers have anything to do with it, that will only improve from here on out. What a character.
By now have you completely fallen for Lucas? If so, consider sponsoring one of the Vicktory dogs.

With the fluid, feisty and funny voice she cultivated as a feature writer before turning to novels, Jennifer Weiner's first nonfiction book could have been a punchy collection of essays and commentaries, and everyone would have gone home happy.
But, Weiner said during a telephone interview, as she dug into the writing, she checked in with her gut. "I want to write it for women who don't see their stories a lot, women who maybe don't see themselves a lot on the page or on the screen," she said. "I want to tell my stories to make those readers feel less alone and more visible in the world."
In "Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing" (Atria Books), Weiner writes about growing up as a self-perceived overweight girl; about her difficult father, who abandoned the family and later died of a cocaine overdose; about her mother, who came out as a lesbian late in life, to the bewilderment and sometimes sarcastic amusement of her adult children; and about giving birth herself, a messier and more emotionally complicated experience than she expected it to be.
In the text, she she jokes that the book's alternate title, drawn from the vent of a writer scorched by her Twitter criticism, was The Weiner Debacle.
Weiner will speak Tuesday at Boswell Books, 2559 N. Downer Ave.
"There's a piece of my book that seems to resonate with almost everyone" who's read it, Weiner said. For me, one of those pieces was "Fat Jennifer in the Promised Land," about her teenage struggle with weight, body image and loneliness — and mean-girl bullying.
Ultimately, what changed for Weiner came through acceptance. She writes: "I gave up. I stopped trying to be popular, or quieter; I stopped trying to be cuter, or more fashionable. I wasn't biting my tongue to prevent the jokes that no one would laugh at from escaping, or modeling my hairstyle on one girl, my clothes on another, and taking care to let my backpack dangle from one strap, the way the cool kids did."
Writing about her college years studying English at Princeton, Weiner remembers how soft-spoken and even-tempered Joyce Carol Oates was and the thrilling cadences of Toni Morrison. But she credits John McPhee, the crafter of long nonfiction narratives for The New Yorker, with teaching her the most about writing. McPhee "emphasized the work aspect of it, that it was less about talent and less about inspiration and more about just putting your body into that seat every single day and doing the work and doing the revisions, doing more revisions and revising it one more time," she said.
Weiner classifies her own popular novels, including "Good in Bed" and "In Her Shoes," as romances, and has become a prominent scourge of media that she and many others believe fall short of fair coverage of books by women and for female readers. But a hypothetical syllabus for the Jennifer Weiner School of Writing would draw from every part of the literary ecosystem: Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," "for pacing and for plot, for when in a story you do your big reveal"; Jonathan Edwards' "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," "for all the tricks he uses to bring hell to life"; Eloisa James, "for how to write a sex scene — what you say and what you don't say and how sometimes what you don't say is just as powerful as what you do."
Many people who have two-screened "The Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" have read Weiner's pointed real-time commentary on Twitter. She needed little prompting to speak about Nick Viall, the Waukesha North High School graduate and three-time participant who will be the next choosy "Bachelor" when the reality dating TV series resumes in January.
Weiner said she relished Viall as a heel, but that the show's producers gave him a "redemption edit" during "Bachelor in Paradise." Citing her husband's thoughts, Weiner calls him meta-Nick. He's become the bachelor for people who know the show is constructed by producers pulling everyone's strings — but want to watch it anyway.
If she were the show-runner, what would she do to Viall? "Terrible things," she said, laughing.
Weiner said she would never forget how Viall "slut-shamed Andi (Dorfman)."
"I would like him to understand what that probably felt like for her and how it read to the public," she said. "I don't know how I would do it, but I would find a way."
Jennifer Weiner will appear in conversation with Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins at 7 p.m. Oct. 18 at Boswell Books, 2559 N. Downer Ave. Tickets ($28) include a copy of Weiner's book "Hungry Heart." Visit brownpapertickets.com/event/2567707.

Recently I visited a movie set. It was the first day of production, and I arrived just as the sun was coming up, but already, around 150 people were busy setting up that day's shot in an abandoned office building. Crew members were laying electric cables and hanging lights. The cinematographer was in one corner with his team, discussing how the sun's rays filtered through the window blinds. Carpenters were putting the finishing touches on a convincing prop elevator — I pushed the call button and waited, until I finally realized it was a fake.
I was there as a "technical adviser": The movie involved some financial events that I've reported on, and the filmmakers wanted to ask me questions as they set up their scenes. But I spent much of the day asking questions of my own, trying to figure out something that mystified me as the day went on: Why was this process so smooth? The team had never worked together before, and the scenes they were shooting that day required many different complex tasks to happen in harmony: lighting, makeup, hair, costumes, sets, props, acting. And yet there was no transition time; everybody worked together seamlessly, instantly. The set designer told me about the shade of off-white that he chose for the walls, how it supported the feel of the scene. The costume designer had agonized over precisely which sandals the lead actor should wear. They told me all this, but they didn't need to tell one another. They just got to work, and somehow it all fit together.
Our economy is in the midst of a grand shift toward the Hollywood model. More of us will see our working lives structured around short-term, project-based teams rather than long-term, open-ended jobs. There are many reasons this change is happening right now, but perhaps the best way to understand it is that we have reached the end of a hundred-year fluke, an odd moment in economic history that was dominated by big businesses offering essentially identical products. Competition came largely by focusing on the cost side, through making production cheaper and more efficient; this process required businesses to invest tremendous amounts in physical capital — machines and factories — and then to populate those factories with workers who performed routine activities. Nonmanufacturing corporations followed a similar model: Think of all those office towers filled with clerical staff or accountants or lawyers. That system began to fray in the United States during the 1960s, first in manufacturing, with the economic rise of Germany and Japan. It was then ripped apart by Chinese competition during the 2000s. Enter the Hollywood model, which is far more adaptable. Each new team can be assembled based on the specific needs of that moment and with a limited financial commitment.
Obviously this is good news for management and the owners of capital. But as I saw on set, it's a surprisingly good system for many workers too, in particular those with highly-sought-after skills. Ask Hollywood producers, and they'll confirm that there are only a limited number of proven, reliable craftspeople for any given task. Projects tend to come together quickly, with strict deadlines, so those important workers are in a relatively strong negotiating position. Wages among, say, makeup and hair professionals on shoots are much higher than among their counterparts at high-end salons. Similarly, set builders make more than carpenters and electricians working on more traditional construction sites. It helps that, despite the work's fleeting nature, Hollywood is strongly unionized, which keeps wages high. According to the rate card of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 728, which represents union film-lighting crews in Los Angeles, even entry-level electricians on a major film set make more than $35 an hour — i.e., more than 40 percent higher than the national average for electricians — and make that wage over 12-hour days.
It's probably not coincidental that the Hollywood model is ascendant at a time when telling stories, broadly speaking, is at the heart of American business. Because of automation, as well as the expansion of trade with so many low-wage nations, it is all but impossible to make a healthy profit in the United States by simply competing as the low-cost provider of a commoditized product or service. Profits need to come from that extra something that only your company can give, something for which customers are willing to pay a premium. I recently visited a cement factory where I was told a well-practiced story about how this quarry-and-kiln operation was part of the green revolution. Creating and communicating added value comes from many of the same skills that go into a movie: making sure that all of the elements of a product are harmonious, that they communicate the same values.

Подберёзовик — общее название для группы видов грибов рода Лекцинум (Обабок) (), ранее относимых к одному виду Boletus scaber (Fries). Отличаются неяркой, коричневых оттенков окраской шляпки, мякоть на срезе не всегда окрашивается. От подосиновиков также отличаются обычно более тонкой ножкой и менее плотной мякотью шляпки.

Все подберёзовики относятся к съедобным грибам и незначительно различаются по пищевым качествам. Грибники не всегда различают их виды, однако для грибной охоты полезно знать экологические особенности разных видов.

Название связано с тем, что они часто растут вблизи берёз, т. к. образуют микоризу на её корнях.

Список видов (ранее форм)
 Подберёзовик обыкновенный ()
 Подберёзовик серый, грабовик ()

Otis in The Wall Street Journal
Los Angeles: City of Art
By Maura Egan
"NEW YORK CITY IS 0 TO 100," explains Hannah Hoffman, perched on a long communal table at her Hollywood art gallery. "There's no middle ground. Here in Los Angeles, it's a little bit of a free-for-all." Hoffman had been working at Gavin Brown 's Enterprise in New York when she pulled up stakes two years ago and decided to head west. She didn't have any real plans to open a gallery; she was just trying to figure out how to live an easier life. But once she arrived, the idea didn't seem like such a lofty ambition. "There was no standard, no structure," she says, "sort of like the strange zoning here."
Hoffman found her space on a quiet strip in the Highland Avenue neighborhood. Once the domain of prostitutes and junkies, the area was being colonized by artisanal restaurants and designer boutiques. Regen Projects, one of L.A.'s blue-chip stalwarts, had settled into a 20,000-square-foot space around the corner. About the same time, Hoffman met Erin Falls, another New York transplant, who had worked at Deitch Projects and Mary Boone Gallery. Falls, who is married to the artist Sam Falls —he is on the gallery's roster—became Hoffman's director. "It's much smaller here," Hoffman says, "and there's not as much outside affirmation, so you can do your own thing."
"The pace here is more organic," says Sam Falls as he walks through his current exhibition at the gallery. His pieces—large negative silhouettes created in part by leaving foliage (ferns, palm fronds) on raw canvas out in the rain—are big, ambitious and all about process. He works on some of the larger-scale projects from several spaces, including a converted knitting factory in Glendale and a parking lot near Pomona. "You can get to the next level of your work in a more fluid way here," says Falls. "Art needs to be incubative."
That can happen here in Los Angeles. While the New York art world's rapid-fire pace and go-go market attitude can quickly tamp down an artist's creativity, L.A.'s laid-back vibe lets artists breathe a little more easily. The rents are cheaper, the spaces are bigger and there's a close-knit community.
In the past year, these friendly factors have brought a migration of artists and gallerists from the East Coast and beyond. Some of today's most sought-after artists, including David Benjamin Sherry and Jordan Wolfson (New York), Ryan Trecartin (Miami), Gabriel Kuri (Brussels and Mexico City) and Silke Otto-Knapp (Vienna), have moved to L.A. Meanwhile, New York's Team gallery established a tiny outpost in Venice this fall; Palm Beach dealer Sarah Gavlak opened a space next to the Hannah Hoffman Gallery; Berlin's Sprüth Magers and New York's Maccarone recently started renovations on spaces that will open next year; and Hauser & Wirth, the international powerhouse, has joined with beloved curator Paul Schimmel, formerly of the city's Museum of Contemporary Art, to open a massive multidisciplinary arts center in late 2016.
In fact, Los Angeles seems to be having a New York moment. But as much as the L.A. arts community seems excited by the current spotlight on its city, it's also a bit nervous. Artists universally shrink from comparisons to New York—and not because they harbor an inferiority complex. Rather, L.A. is their well-guarded secret—and they're worried it could be ruined.
The city has always attracted artists who have been lured by the open environment (see: Light and Space movement here in the '60s), the rigorous area graduate schools like California Institute of the Arts, Otis College of Art and Design and UCLA and the community of heavyweight artists—Catherine Opie, John Baldessari, the late Mike Kelley—who stayed to work and teach. Still, for graduating artists, it was almost a given that making it in New York was the true test of artistic merit. In the past few years, however, with New York City's skyrocketing cost of living, it's become prohibitive for much of the creative class. "To afford New York as an artist, you have to live so far from the creative core," says Esther Kim Varet, who moved her Various Small Fires gallery from Venice to Hollywood in October this year.

How Ethereum works
How high can the Ethereum price go?
Ethereum ETH price stats and information
It accomplished new highs in early May and is recovering well after the much-talked-about crypto crash on May 19. May 19, 2021 —Crypto market crashes on the back of an ongoing crackdown on digital currencies in China. April 24, 2019 —Samsung announces the creation of its own blockchain atop the Ethereum platform. December 20, 2016 —Ethereum Project's administrators announce a data breach that has affected its community forums' 16,500 users. With the coronavirus pandemic impacting the entire global economy, including the crypto industry, ETH traded sideways for the most part of the first half of 2020.
What will Bitcoins be worth in 2025?
The experts in the field of cryptocurrency have analyzed the prices of Bitcoin and their fluctuations during the previous years. It is assumed that in 2025, the minimum BTC price might drop to $120,438.96, while its maximum can reach $137,071.13. On average, the trading cost will be around $124,520.58.
Ethereum is vastly different from other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, or even Ripple. Ethereum is a blockchain protocol for smart contracts, and Ether, also called ETH, is the native cryptocurrency that powers the Ethereum blockchain. As transactions occur on Ethereum, nodes are updated with a network-wide accounting of ETH along with the most recent state of each decentralized application, or Dapp. Dapps run on smart contracts, programs that facilitate the transfer of value on blockchain. Using Ethereum's "Turing complete" smart contract language, Solidity, developers are able to deploy a set of instructions to the blockchain that operate indefinitely with a high degree of finality and fraud-resistance. With the first block being mined in July 2015, Ethereum has since become the largest smart contract platform of its kind, and the second largest blockchain of all time as measured by market capitalization. Smart contracts are code-based programs that are stored on the Ethereum blockchain and automatically carry out certain functions when predetermined conditions are met.
There are hundreds of cryptocurrency exchanges you can use to buy and sell cryptocurrencies online. Because Ethereum is so new and volatile, price predictions are mostly informed speculations. Instead of creating value as a "digital gold" like Bitcoin, Ethereum became the second-biggest cryptocurrency by operating as a software platform that runs on a blockchain. Developers use the network to build and power new tools, apps, and NFTs. The price of gas can fluctuate from time to time depending on the network demand. If there are more people interacting on the Ethereum blockchain such as transacting in ETH or executing a smart contract operation, due to the limited amount of computing resources on the network, Gas price can increase. Conversely when the network is under utilized, the market price of gas would decrease. SushiSwap is asoftware running on Ethereum that seeks to incentivize a network of users to operate a platform where users can buy and sell crypto assets burned 15,433 ETH in 2021, valued at $57.4 million.

For example, a user of TokenlessContract can pay their fees in a 50/50 mix of LemonadeCoin and TeaBucks. To ensure liquidity between users and miners with different assets they would pay or accept fees with, a user can simply issue multiple mutually-exclusive transactions paying with fees in different assets. Suppose we're building a new decentralized application, BuzzwordCoin. By default, following a standard ERC-20 Token template, every transaction on BuzzwordCoin will pay gas in $ETH. Investing in cryptocurrencies and other initial coin offerings is highly risky and speculative, and this article is not a recommendation by Investopedia or the writer to invest in cryptocurrencies or other ICOs.

With the much-anticipated upgrade inching closer each passing day, the curiosity around its price projection is growing louder. Despite the thousands of competitors that have sprung up, Bitcoin—the original cryptocurrency—remains the dominant player in terms of usage and economic value. Ethereum uses aproof of work blockchain, meaning miners compete to solve complex puzzles to validate transactions, making this technology more energy-intensive and thus more damaging to the environment. In contrast, Solana usesproof of stake , which is said to be less harmful than PoW.

In an interview with CoinDesk, Andrew Keys, director of communications at ConsenSys and co-founding member of ConsenSys Enterprise, predicted that Ethereum would reach a price of $1.15 by 29th February 2016. Two weeks into 2016, the prediction came true and it started off a parabolic rally that took the asset to over $1,400. As part of a wider range of predictions the analyst has made, Ethereum is included with a range of "$7,500-12,500" per ETH. The fresh call was made to start off 2021 and the traders has been accurate so far. Ethereum is among the most interesting pieces of technology ever to exist and has garnered the support and interest from some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs of the tech and finance industries. Here's just a sample of some of the industry experts who believe that Ethereum price will go up. After regulators began to crack down on ICOs, calling them unregistered securities sales, Ethereum was used less and less for this purpose. However, this was due to the ICO boom ending and not due to Ethereum's long-term price potential or projected growth. Development was entirely funded by a crowd sale, that resulted in 72 million pre-mined coins reaching the hands of long-term holders.
Ethereum Price Prediction For 2023
Due to this rigorous process, Cardano stands out among its PoS peers and other prominent cryptocurrencies. Cardano has also been dubbed an "Ethereum killer" because its blockchain is said to be capable of more. Though it has beaten Ethereum to the PoS consensus model, it still has a long way to go regarding DeFi applications. Some altcoins have been endorsed as having newer features than Bitcoin, such as the ability to handle more transactions per second or use different consensus algorithms such as proof of stake. The merge will make Ethereum a more attractive investment than Bitcoin from an ESG perspective, but it doesn't necessarily make Ethereum a threat to dethrone Bitcoin as the world's top crypto. ETH currently has an annual power consumption roughly equal to Finland, producing a carbon footprint equal to Switzerland. Fortunately, the merge is expected to reduce Ethereum's carbon footprint by up to 99.95%, addressing one of the major criticisms of the cryptocurrency.
The trading volume and liquidity are different at each exchange, and those differences affect the price.
Smart contracts perform all the functions that normally some third-party would have to take care of.
In 2017, at the height of crypto-mania Ethereum was leading blockchain platform for Initial Coin Offering projects, with over 50% market share.
Some merchants have already begun accepting ether as a means of payment, and that number is likely to grow as consumers look for alternatives to credit cards and other payment methods. In fact, A house was recently sold and the transaction was performed using a cryptocurrency. Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies have been gaining in popularity as they represent a viable alternative to more traditional payment methods. These cryptos can provide a number of potential benefits, and are considered to be a very convenient means of sending or receiving payments. It said it would start to mine Ethereum in its latest bid to turn a profit. "We are more convinced each day of the growth and value of digital currencies, and our company is uniquely positioned to be a leading provider of processing power to relevant blockchains," McAfee said in a statement. "At the end of this road map, ethereum will be able to process 100,000 transactions per second," Buterin told a conference in Paris on Thursday.
A market with a relatively high trading volume will have its price reflected more visibly in the overall average. The Ethereum network can be used by anybody to create and run smart contracts, which are software programs that run autonomously, without user intervention. Ethereum's growth can be attributed in part to its smart contract capability, which has enabled a growing ecosystem of Dapps, non-fungible tokens and more. In addition, Ethereum is an open-source blockchain platform that runs on the usage of its native currency, called Ether or ETH. Ethereum token standards are the blueprints for creating tokens that are compatible with the broader Ethereum network. These include tokens that can be traded for one another as well as tokens that are inherently unique and cannot be mutually exchanged . Ethereum token standards were invented by Ethereum developers to help users create new digital currencies more easily, faster and cheaper than starting from scratch. These contracts then have to be converted from high-level languages to low-level languages . That's because a computer environment called the "Ethereum Virtual Machine," or EVM, is where all smart contracts are deployed and executed.
From August 2020, it maintained a steady $300+ price level, breaching $400 resistance multiple times, and eventually breaking out into the $750 zone by the end of December 2020. Ethereum went live in July 2015 and didn't see a significant appreciation in its value up until 2017. Read more about usaa wire transfer cost here. The late-2017 and early-2018 bull run saw it touching new heights, breaching the $1400 mark for the first time ever. This was the time when many new ICOs were getting launched on the Ethereum network. Then a major pullback followed in 2018, wiping off most of its gains and plummeting the coin to below the $100 level. Investing in cryptocurrency comes with risk and cryptocurrency may gain in value, or lose some or all value.
This EVM is built into every full Ethereum node and can carry out more than 140 different operation codes . These are essentially machine instructions that can be strung together to perform virtually any task, which is what the term "Turing-complete" refers to. For more information on digital asset risk see FINRA, SEC, and CFPB public advisories. SoFi will apply a markup of up to 1.25% for each crypto transaction. Cryptocurrencies continued to lose value, extending declines from all-time highs several months ago. As the tug of war between crypto bulls and bears goes on, though, the more important question of how average investors perceive the digital asset market remains unanswered. In general, most experts have a positive outlook on Ethereum's price. This coin's functionality established a reputation, and upcoming updates instill a lot of faith in it.

First proposed in 2013 by Russian-Canadian computer programmer Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum was designed to expand the utility of cryptocurrencies by allowing developers to create their own special applications. Unlike traditional apps, these Ethereum-based applications, called "decentralized applications," or dapps, are self-executing thanks to the use of smart contracts. Top cryptocurrencies fell heavily on Wednesday as a broad Nasdaq sell-off continued to run through its second straight day and into a third. This coin is one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, second only to Bitcoin . Although ether has a smaller market cap than Bitcoin, Ethereum is the most widely-used blockchain. Tether was one of the first and most popular of a group of so-called stablecoins—cryptocurrencies that aim to peg their market value to a currency or other external reference point to reduce volatility. The system allows users to more easily make transfers from other cryptocurrencies back to U.S. dollars in a more timely manner than actually converting to normal currency. Ether, launched in 2015, is currently the second-largest digital currency by market capitalization after Bitcoin, although it lags behind the dominant cryptocurrency by a significant margin. Trading at around $1,200 per ETH as of July 8, 2022, ether's market cap of $147.5 billion is less than half of Bitcoin's. The rates displayed by the calculator represent market exchange rates, and are provided for informational and estimation purposes only.
How much is one ETH worth right now?
The current price is $1,463.635 per ETH.
McCann, being a trader himself is speculating that the price per Ethereum could reach as high as $50,000 per ETH by March 2022. The early Bitcoin investor and angel investor based the theory on an options contract strike price set to expire around that date. Ethereum started its life much under $1 and was only spare change per ETH during the crowd sale. In just a year's time, it reached a high price of $1,448 driven largely due to the ICO boom, and was extremely profitable for early investors.

PoS is a modern consensus mechanism that is more efficient than Proof-of-Work, the mechanism on which the network currently relies. Sharding refers to a division of labor among nodes that relieves them of the burden to carry complete copies of the blockchain. Instead, nodes will maintain subsets of blocks and reach out to other nodes on an as-needed basis. For holders who are neither bona fide HODLers nor active traders, there are brick-and-mortar businesses that accept ETH for physical goods and services.

UK to Review Visas for Wealthy Foreign Nationals Amid Concern Over Russian Involvement in Salisbury Poisoning
Theresa May said the government is conducting a review of visas issued to wealthy foreign nationals as part of the UK's response to Russia's suspected involvement in the nerve agent attack in Salisbury.
Answering questions about the government's stance on Russia, Ms May told the Commons Liaison Committee that Britain's interior minister was reviewing investor visas.
However, she insisted the checks on possible loopholes were not specifically focused on Russia.
"I think it is right that we look generally to see whether this is a part of our visa regime which is being used properly," she said.
Britain has ordered the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats and has said it will consider other measures following the 4 March poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter with what London says was a Soviet-era nerve agent.
May said 25 countries have now moved to expel Russian diplomats and she also noted NATO's decision to expel seven diplomats from Russia's mission to the alliance.
"I welcome the international support that we have garnered," she said. "This isn't just a matter of the UK position and working with the UK. I think it is the national security interests of the countries concerned."
The international reaction "has demonstrated to the Kremlin that we will not tolerate their attempts to flout international law, undermine our values or threaten our security", she said.
She added: "It is also important to note that our partners are not only taking these measures out of solidarity with the UK, but also because they recognise the threat that these Russian networks pose to the security of their own countries and the pattern of Russian aggression which has affected us all."
Despite frosty relations between the two nations, Ms May sent a letter of condolence to Russian president Vladimir Putin after the deaths of 64 people in a shopping centre fire in Siberia.

Flamingo That Fled Kansas Zoo Two Years Ago Spotted in Louisiana
WICHITA, Kan. – After two years on the lam, a pink flamingo that escaped from the Sedgwick County Zoo has been spotted in Louisiana with a wild Caribbean flamingo in a ship channel area of southwest Louisiana.
The latest sighting three weeks ago was in the Calcasieu Ship Channel on private land accessible only by boat. Officials with the zoo in Wichita learned of the wayward flamingo's whereabouts late Friday because the birds were identified by numbers on their leg bands.
Click here to see a photo of the birds and for more on this story at the The Witchita Eagle.
The zoo's flamingo was still traveling with the same companion that was with it during an earlier sighting. The two birds were seen at the Arkansas National Wildlife Refuge on the Gulf Coast of Texas in December 2006.
The other bird, a rosy red wild greater flamingo, came up from Mexico during hurricanes Rita and Katrina. The discovery excited bird watchers in Louisiana because it was the first documented sighting of a wild greater flamingo in the state.
"We're very happy to see he's been spotted again," said zoo spokeswoman Christan Baumer.
The zoo does not plan to try to get the flamingo back.
"There really isn't an easy way to recapture the bird. It would only disturb wildlife where it's been found and possibly could do more damage to the bird than just leaving him alone," Baumer said.
Flamingos are social birds, so it is not unusual they are staying together, she said.
Members of Louisiana's ornithological society tried to locate the birds a few days after they were identified, but they had left the area. The zoo expects more sightings as the birds continue to look for safe places, food and water.
The Sedgwick County Zoo's flamingo is one of two that escaped June 27, 2005. Their other escaped flamingo has not been spotted.


As some of you might already know that I'm currently enrolled in Parsons The New School for Design as a MFA Design & Technology candidate 2016, I feel like I need to create a new blog section specially intended to cover the program. It will be mostly for projects, documentation, thoughts, and all the cool stuff.
Cheers to a life full of code + design + food!
