Best Cheeses: Vermont

Best Cheese Region: Vermont
It might have the second-smallest state population in the country, but Vermont wields outsize national influence. From politicians (Bernie) to food entrepreneurs (Ben and Jerry), the rural state attracts and supports out-of-the-box thinkers and self-starters who make things happen. At the same time, a close proximity to nature translates into a drive to preserve the pastoral landscape by producing something delicious from its fields and forests.
Vermont's flourishing artisan cheese community reflects all of these dynamics. It also builds on the region's deep dairy-farming traditions, which have been threatened by several challenging decades for the fluid milk economy. As they innovate alternative models, crafters of value-added products like cheese benefit from proximity to large cities. When urbanites from New York City and Boston vacation in the Green Mountains, they make connections and build demand back home, says Patrycja Kotowska, category manager for salumi, formaggi, and dairy at Eataly North America. "We all want to move to beautiful Vermont," she said, only half-joking. "We can have the cheese at least."
Today the Vermont Cheese Council boasts around 50 cheesemaking members. Some go way back: Crowley Cheese has operated continuously for almost two centuries; Plymouth Artisan Cheese was founded in 1890 by President Calvin Coolidge's father; and Cabot Creamery, a farmers' co-op, is approaching its 100th birthday. More recently, innovators like Vermont Creamery and Jasper Hill Farm have made their mark. Award-winning Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, made at Cabot and aged by Jasper Hill, illustrates the mutual support that not only benefits individual makers, but also lifts all boats. "It seems to me there's a really unique Vermont spirit of cooperation and collaboration," says Anthea Stolz, executive director of the California Artisan Cheese Guild.
This year, little Vermont once again raked in a wagonful of American Cheese Society Judging and Competition wins. Thirteen cheesemakers—from tiny Cate Hill Orchard to well-established Grafton Village Cheese—brought home three dozen trophies, including Jasper Hill Farm's one-two punch for Best in Show. "It's inspiring to see a state with a population smaller than San Francisco consistently take home such top honors," says Stolz.
Nowhere is this thriving community more delectably on display than at the annual Vermont Cheesemakers Festival, which just celebrated its 10th year. Held at National Historic Landmark Shelburne Farms, a sustainable education nonprofit and another award-winning farmstead cheesemaker, it's a bucket-list event for cheese lovers. "Vermont is a dream trip," says John Antonelli, co-owner of Antonelli's Cheese Shop in Austin, Texas. "The sheer number of cheesemakers is amazing, the quality of their milk, and level of innovation—and that's before you even meet any of them."

Mateo Kehler credits Neal's Yard Dairy in London for the "philosophical taproot" of the farm and affinage company he co-founded with his brother, Andy, 15 years ago. If it hadn't been for his persistence, however, things might have turned out differently. The brothers were trying to figure out what to do with a defunct dairy farm they had bought in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, and Kehler was trying his hand at cheesemaking. A mentor suggested he further his education through a job with the legendary UK cheesemongers. "The first time I knocked on the door, they turned me down. The next week they turned me down again," he recalls. "The third week they finally relented."
At Neal's Yard, Kehler learned that the founders had "scoured the countryside for the last remaining producer of true Lancashire," which had been eclipsed by a commodity version. "They saved the last producer of these historic cheeses," he says. The brothers have a different angle, Kehler explains, but the same motivation to save something historic and valuable. "For us, it's about conservation of the working landscape through developing cheeses that can support that landscape for generations," he said.
Their goal is to develop new cheeses that become identified with the region—like in Europe—as opposed to individual makers. "We are trying to create something that's going to outlast Andy and me," Kehler says. A breakthrough came when a farmer's co-op asked for help aging a special batch of cheddar in 2003. That cheese, Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, went on to win the American Cheese Society's Best in Show just three years later. The ongoing partnership paved the way for the Cellars at Jasper Hill, a 22,000-square-foot cheese-aging facility that cost $3 million. (An early investment came from Neal's Yard Dairy.)
While centralized affinage caves are traditional in Europe, aging cheeses for others was a new concept here. Despite much attention and acclaim, the road has been bumpy at times. In addition to farmstead cheeses made in-house, Jasper Hill's 80 employees currently age wheels from five other cheesemakers. The 12 cheeses they market will generate $15 million this year. "It's like having six wives," Kehler says, explaining that each relationship, including their own cheesemaking operation, requires careful tending.
Since a few years ago, Jasper Hill has refocused on forging new partnerships within a 15-mile radius of their location. They've also been investing significantly in feed technology in order to ensure the safety and quality of raw milk. "Our goal is to benefit this community," Kehler says. "Cheesemaking is just a vehicle to impact the place we live."

Harbison
Greensboro Bend, Vt.
Mateo Kehler, Jasper Hill Farm's co-owner, begs people not to cut into this lush, bloomy-rind cheese made with the milk of the farm's Ayrshire herd. Ripened for about three months, its rich paste is prevented from becoming a seductive cheese puddle only by a circular girdle of inner bark hand-harvested from spruce trees in the farm's woodlands. Instead, he urges you to dip or spoon the cheese—lightly resinous with clotted cream sweetness and a whisper of cauliflower—onto crackers, tart apple slices, or radishes.
St Albans from Vermont Creamery
In 1984, Bob Reese, then the state of Vermont's agriculture marketing director, was desperately seeking a locally made, French-style goat cheese requested by a chef for an official dinner. Back then, local cheese was pretty much synonymous with cheddar, and most Vermont farmers thought that milking anything but cows was a joke. Enter a dairy lab technician named Allison Hooper, who had apprenticed in France and then married into the state's only licensed goat dairy. Her fresh, creamy cheese was the hit of the meal—and so Vermont Creamery (originally called Vermont Butter & Cheese) was born.
From that 10-pound batch and initial $2,400 investment, Vermont Creamery has grown to 100-plus employees at its Websterville headquarters. They produce close to 5 million pounds annually of fresh and aged goat's and cow's milk cheeses, along with other European-style dairy products like cultured butter and crème fraîche. In 2017, after much due diligence, Hooper and Reese sold the business to Minnesota-based farmer's cooperative Land O'Lakes for an undisclosed amount.
The pair had been at it for 30-plus years, not only building their own company and the American appreciation of traditional French dairy products, but supporting local and regional dairy farmers and playing a leadership role in Vermont's growing cheesemaking sector. They were ready to step back. The time was right for investment that could "take our improbably successful family business to the next level," says Hooper.
The co-founders stay connected. Matt Reese, who worked alongside his father, is now director of finance. One of Hooper's sons, Miles, operates a goat dairy with his wife that supplies milk to the creamery. And both have immense faith in Adeline Druart, the president at Vermont Creamery's helm, who is a unique blend of transplant and homegrown.
Fifteen years ago, the microbiology and dairy science master's student arrived from her native France as an intern. Druart had searched the internet for "fromage USA" and "crème fraîche USA." "I couldn't speak the language," she admits with a chuckle, "but I figured at least I could pronounce the product names." Druart did not plan to stay long-term, but as a young woman she would never have had the same opportunities in the codified world of French cheese, she explains.
The sale has enabled ambitious new product lines, a significant plant expansion, and long-term commitments to regional milk supply partners. "People are worried when you get bigger," Druart acknowledged, "but we will still do things the slow way."

Vermont Creamery / Wegmans Food Markets
Websterville, Vt. / Rochester, N.Y.
Vermont Creamery partnered with Wegmans to create a slim, aged goat cheese that is shipped green to the retailer's state-of-the-art 12,300-square-foot aging facility. Sprinkled with vegetable ash in the cave, it is named and imprinted with "1916" in honor of the founding year of the family-owned grocery business. The small, flat disk was designed to ensure each bite includes both silky rind and velvety paste, and every mouthful a nutty, yeasty, tangy-sweet evocation of French market classics.
Ashbrook from Spring Brook Farm
Spring Brook Farm
For a dairy its size, Spring Brook Farm has a large workforce. The core team consists of 10 full-time employees who care for the farm's milking herd of 42 Jersey cows and make its Tarentaise, Reading, and Ashbrook cheeses. But they're also joined over the course of each year by around 1,000 young assistants, who help feed the calves, muck out the barnyard, assist with milking, and—with clean boots and rubber gloves—even carefully turn and wash the champion cheeses.
These youngsters travel mostly from urban schools around the Northeast for hands-on, minds-on weeks thanks to the Farms for City Kids Foundation. The nonprofit is now supported in part by the decade-old cheese operation, but predates it by 15 years. It was established by Karli and Jim Hagedorn, who bought the original 640-acre former dairy farm in 1992. Jim is chairman and CEO of ScottsMiracle-Gro Company, the lawn- and garden-care giant—although the farm and dairy have nothing to do with that business.
Cheese program director Jeremy Stephenson has been involved since the Hagedorns concluded that shipping fluid milk was a waste of time and effort. Rather than create a new cheese, however, they set up a consulting and licensing deal with a successful neighboring farmstead cheesemaker. John and Janine Putnam of Thistle Hill Farm could not keep up with national demand for their own Tarentaise, a recipe they had developed based on cheeses from the Savoie region of the French Alps. The licensing agreement continues, although the recipe and method have naturally evolved to become more specific to Spring Brook Farm.
The much-decorated Tarentaise "is a tribute to the quality of the milk," Stephenson says. The herd grazes seasonally, and all the dry hay fed to cows during winter is produced on the farm. For minimal agitation, the milk is gravity-fed to the vats. And when it comes to individual prizewinning wheels, Stephenson counsels his team not to place emphasis on which cheesemaker might be responsible. "There is no hero, just a bunch of people working together with animals," he says. "I tell them, 'This is a triumph of cooperation. I want you to walk across to the dairy barn and thank the cows.'"
Spring Brook Farm Taerentaise
Reading, Vt.
A Vermont farmstead cheese modeled on Abondance and Beaufort of the Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps, these semi-hard, washed-rind, concave-edged, golden wheels are made with the raw milk of Jersey cows fed mostly on grass and dry hay. Aged at least nine months, notes of caramel, pineapple, and umami heighten as it matures. A tiny portion of particularly well-balanced wheels are selected to become Reserve, aged 18 months or more, shot through with crystals and a hint of wood-roasted chestnuts.
Other Best Cheeses
Slyboro
West Pawlet, Vt.
This raw-milk farmstead cheese is made seasonally following the natural kidding cycle of a mixed goat herd, which grazes rotationally to the benefit of both land and animals. Over 60 days, cheeses are washed three times weekly until they become squat, wrinkled hassocks upholstered with orange rind. Although originally washed with Slyboro hard cider, as the cheeses aged beside a different washed-rind, cave microflora became muddled; cheesemakers streamlined to a single brine. The revised Slyboro ages beautifully to develop a creamy outer edge with a soft but lightly granular interior, its acidity balanced by caramelized onion and roasted-apple flavors.

Parish Hill Creamery
Westminster West, Vt.
Based on an Italian-style toma, Reverie owes its distinction to milk from a small herd of Holsteins and Jerseys that are part of the educational program at a high school near Peter Dixon's creamery. The raw milk is lightly heated and inoculated with only native cultures, while the brine uses solar-evaporated, hand-harvested Maine sea salt. Aged at least five months, the 15-pound wheels become exceptional at a year as they develop a rough, burnished, bronze rind. More mature cheeses offer a buttery yellow paste speckled with tiny holes and crystals, tasting of late-fall hay, toasted nuts, and wheatberries with a hint of butterscotch.
6-Month Cheddar
Shelburne Farms
Shelburne, Vt.
It's a challenge to make an everyday cheddar that stands out, but the 6-month from Shelburne Farms delivers. The strong foundation is raw milk of the Brown Swiss herd that grazes over the spectacular historic property. The texture is supple with some natural breaks still visible between curd layers. Taste freshly mown grass and just-churned butter with a pleasant foreshadowing of the backbone it would develop if matured. It is like a promising and engagingly precocious youngster who will grow up to be an outstanding adult—but who you enjoy very much right now.

Denis Cottin says:
I just regret you did not mention Vermont Shepherd sheep cheese who are a land mark of Vermont. Sold out, year after year winner of ACS Best of show in 1993 and best farmhouse cheese. Thanks David Major and family to produce such excellent cheeses.
Madeline Upson says:
Hi Denis,
Our Best Cheese features focus on first place winners each year. Unfortunately, that means we can't focus on all the delicious cheeses out there! We'll definitely keep the Vermont Shepherd sheep cheese in mind for future articles. Thank you for commenting!

Walkable Neighborhoods Set the Stage for Upward Mobility, Study Says
New research out of the University of Virginia makes the case for walkable neighborhoods as incubators of economic mobility.
November 11, 2019, 6am PST | James Brasuell | @CasualBrasuell

"New research from the University of Virginia finds children who are raised in walkable cities are more likely to climb the economic ladder, earning more than their parents did at similar points in their lives," reports Jane Kelly.
The study, "The Socioecological Psychology of Upward Mobility," was published in the journal American Psychologist.
According to the study, feelings of connectedness are a predictor of upward mobility. Nicholas Buttrick, one of the authors of the study, is quoted in the article: "We also find that if you live in a walkable city, you feel like you belong," Buttrick said. "You feel like you have a community, and that feeling also predicts whether or not you're going to be moving up the economic ladder."
The researchers are planning to shift their focus next to the upward mobility enabled by public transit—some evidence of that outcome is already available.

MoS Lekhi discusses ways to enhance India's bilateral ties with Guatemala, El Salvador
New Delhi [India], January 21 (ANI): Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakashi Lekhi, during her diplomatic visit to Guatemala and El Salvador reviewed the entire bilateral relations of India with both nations and discussed ways to further enhance ties at a multilateral level.
During her visit to Guatemala, which took place on January 15-17, Lekhi discussed cooperation in the fields of Science and Technology, Women Empowerment and Capacity Building in the interiors of Guatemala, the Ministry of External Affairs said in an official statement.
She met with the Acting President of Guatemala, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guatemala, Mario Bucaro, the Minister of Culture of Guatemala, Felipe Aguilar and several others.
MoS handed over a symbolic key to the Foreign Minister for the donation of ten pickup trucks by the Government of India to the Government of Guatemala. To mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relationship, both Ministers inaugurated the bust of Mahatma Gandhi at the premises of the Foreign Ministry.
During the meeting with the Minister of Health, both sides discussed growing bilateral cooperation in healthcare especially related to holistic healthcare and Ayurveda and the donation of essential medicines by India, the official statement read.
MOS Lekhi also inaugurated the Indian Film Festival and participated in a Yoga Festival in Antigua. On January 16, she took part in a Business dinner hosted by the Coordinating Committee of Agricultural, Commercial, Industrial and Financial Associations (CACIF) in the presence of top Guatemalan business leaders, following which she delivered talks on '50 Years of India-Guatemala Relations' at the University del Valle (UVG) in Guatemala City.
MOS virtually inaugurated the bust of Mahatma Gandhi in the eastern Guatemalan City of Livingstone where around 80 families of Indian origin people reside, who travelled to Guatemala from Belize in the middle of the 19th century. She also interacted with the members of the Indian Community in Guatemala during her visit.
The Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakashi Lekhi visited El Salvador on January 17-19.
During the visit to El Salvador, MOS called on Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador; and met with Alexandra Hill Tinoco, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Mariemm Pleitez, Minister for Culture; and J. Miguel Kattan, Secretary of Commerce and Investment, the MEA said in a release.
MOS discussed ways to further enhance bilateral relations, especially India's development cooperation with El Salvador, growing bilateral economic relations and collaboration at the multilateral level including at the UN. She also invited El Salvador to join the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI).
Both Ministers reviewed the whole bilateral relationship during their meeting with Minister Hill. They agreed that the next Foreign Office Consultations will be placed soon in New Delhi on a mutually agreeable date. Minister Hill praised India for supplying COVID vaccine and crucial medications to countries during the pandemic's difficult periods. To commemorate India's 75th anniversary of independence, both Ministers launched the Indian Film Festival at the University.
MOS delivered a talk on '75 years of India's Growth Story' at Dr Jose Matias Delgado University in San Salvador. MOS also interacted with the members of the Indian Community and business leaders in El Salvador during her visit.
The MOS's travel to Guatemala and El Salvador demonstrates the significance India places on bilateral relations with these nations. The visit is anticipated to give the bilateral cooperation a boost and strengthen people-to-people ties, the press release read. (ANI)

Q: How to test a set of values (not all) exist in a Pandas multiindex? The isin() method applied to a Pandas index returns whether each index value is found in the passed set of values, but is there a possibility to test only a set of indexe values ?
In the multiIndex below I would like to test if an index with level name s1 and level value E and level name d1 and level value future exists. Problem is that I test index values that may not exist so selection method like xs or loc don' work.
df_routes.index
MultiIndex([('E', 'future',       'B', 'future'),
            ('E', 'future',       'B5', 'future'),
            ('E', 'future',       'B',   'spot'),
            ('B', 'future',       'B', 'future'),
            ('B', 'future',       'B5', 'future'),
            ('B', 'future',       'B',   'spot')],
           names=['s1', 'd1', 's2', 'd2'])

My problem is that isin() returns False when using any as index values :
df_routes.index.isin([('E', 'future', any, any)])

array([False, False, False, False, False, False])

The desired result would be :
array([True, True, True, False, False, False])

There is a similar question here but the answer only works for index not multiindex.
How can i do that ?

A: If you wanna filter the dataframe using multi-index, just use .loc
df.loc[('E', 'future')]

Sample DataFrame
                     0
s1 d1     s2 d2
E  future B  future  1
          B5 future  2
          B  spot    3
B  future B  future  4
          B5 future  5
          B  spot    6

Ouput
           0
s2 d2
B  future  1
B5 future  2
B  spot    3

To create a boolean array
(df.index.get_level_values(0) == 'E') & (df.index.get_level_values(1) == 'future')

Q: How to show the value for edit in a window in time format from grid in extjs 4 I am using extjs 4.1 .I have a grid that is showing date in desired time format. But when I want to show the date and intime and outtime in a window for edit then only date is displaying. but intime and outtime is not displaying. All the fields in database are datetime.

Starbucks in Westeros?
May 07 2019 By AFP

Coffee cup cameos in 'Game of Thrones' set blunder
With two episodes of HBO's wildly popular medieval fantasy saga Game of Thrones to go, puzzled fans took to social media on Monday after heroine Daenerys Targaryen was joined at a wooden banquet table by a rogue to-go coffee cup.
Jokes, spoofs and critiques quickly followed the anachronistic appearance of the beverage—taken to be a Starbucks coffee by many who noticed—in the fourth episode of the eighth and final season.
"Seriously, they have Starbucks in Winterfell," one commenter wrote on Twitter, while others lamented the slip-up after waiting two years for the eighth season to air. Yet another tweeted a redrawn logo of the American coffee chain with the title changed to "Winterfell coffee" and the wolf's head sigil of the Starks, one of the noble families at the center of the series.
HBO spoke up as the blunder went viral, tweeting that "the latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake" and playfully adding that Daenerys—played by British actress Emilia Clarke—had ordered an herbal tea.
Meanwhile, executive producer Bernie Caulfield told WNYC radio she couldn't believe the error, saying that "our on-set prop people and decorators are so on it 1,000 percent."
"We're sorry!" she said. "If that's the worst thing that they're finding, we're in good shape." HBO called it a "craft services coffee cup" but Caulfield echoed a theme spread widely on Twitter, speculating that Westeros—the fictional continent where the action takes place—"was the first place to actually have Starbucks."
Though he hadn't personally watched Sunday's episode, entitled "The Last of the Starks," art director Hauke Richter told Variety magazine: "Things can get forgotten on set."
Starbucks seized the opportunity to capitalize on the faux pas, evoking its popular dragon fruit-based thirst-quencher in a statement that read: "We're surprised she didn't order a Dragon Drink." It was not immediately clear if Daenerys, known in the show as the Mother of Dragons for her mastery over the winged creatures of legend, has ever tried coffee.
Season eight began airing on April 14, nearly 20 months after the seventh season's conclusion. The last ever episode will be shown on May 19.


Donald Trump announced the members of his agriculture advisory board on Tuesday. Among the members of the board are governors, secretaries of agriculture, and farmers. One dairy farmer is also serving on the board: Mike McCloskey of Select Milk Producers and Fair Oaks Farms.
"The men and women on the committee will provide pioneering new ideas to strengthen our nation's agricultural industry as well as provide support to our rural communities," Trump campaign officials noted in a press release Tuesday.
McCloskey his wife, Sue, built Fair Oaks farm and the milk brand, Fair Life. In addition, McCloskey is the founder and CEO of Select Milk Producers, a co-op that is now the sixth largest in the country. There is now doubt he will represent the industry well.
Several other farmers join McCloskey on the committee including Garry Niemeyer of the National Corn Growers Association, Steve Foglesong former chair of the Farm Foundation, and Steve Wellman and Ron Heck, both former presidents of the American Soybean Association. Governors on the committee include those from Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas. Current agriculture secretaries of Texas, Mississippi, Arizona, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Indiana, Iowa, Georgia and Maine are also on the committee.
"Mr. Trump understands the critical role our nation's agricultural community plays in feeding not only our country, but the world, and how important these Americans are to powering our nation's economy," campaign officials wrote.


Movement Control Therapy is a therapeutic regime that re-educates the body to move in a physiological ideal pattern to reduce and eventually prevent pains.
Long hours of repetitive movements in an incorrect manner will result in the habitual adaptation of our muscles and joints causing postural pain. Therefore Movement Control Therapy helps the body to re-learn correct movement patterns through specific therapeutic exercises.
As every individual is unique, the therapy will also be customized to one's needs.

Nístějka je zřícenina hradu na ostrožně nad soutokem řeky Jizery a Farského potoka a naproti silnici I/14, na území stejnojmenné přírodní památky. Přístupná je po žluté turistické značce od Vysokého nad Jizerou. Zbytky hradu jsou chráněny jako kulturní památka.

Historie
Předpokládá se, že hrad vznikl v první polovině čtrnáctého století, ale o jeho počátcích se nedochovaly žádné písemné prameny. V tom případě by jeho stavitelem byl zřejmě Heník z Valdštejna, jenž se od roku 1369 po něm i psal. Z téhož roku pochází první písemná zmínka o hradu. Funkcí hradu bylo patrně střežit zemskou cestu v údolí Jizery. Pro rozvětvenost Valdštejnů a nedostatku písemných pramenů jde jen těžko určit, kdo ve které době hrad vlastnil. Jisté je, že v roce 1399 se po Nístějce psal Hynek z Valdštejna a v roce 1406 Jindřich. Ovšem už v následujícím roce zde měl sídlo Jindřich z Vartenberka, jenž už v roce 1404 získal hrad Valdštejn. V roce 1422 je pak Nístějka v držení pánů z Jenštejna, resp. Václava z Jenštejna a po něm Mikuláše z Jenštejna. Ten roku 1459 umírá a další události byly pro nedostatek písemných pramenů neznámé, takže následující dění poodhalil až výzkum vedený v roce 1958 Severočeským muzeem v Liberci.

Během výzkumu, který se zaměřil především na areál hradního paláce, bylo odkryto celkem osm nálezových vrstev, přičemž vlastní palác měl mít dvě až tři patra. V těchto vrstvách se nacházely kachle s ornamenty a drobné železné předměty (především hřeby a skoby). Složení vrstev a především jejich sled pak vedl vedoucího výzkumu archeologa PhDr. Jaroslava Kavana k závěru, že za zánikem hradu pravděpodobně stál ve druhé polovině 15. století požár, při kterém došlo ke zřícení všech podlaží paláce.

Dobu zániku pak podporuje i písemná zmínka z roku 1519, kdy je Nístějka uváděna již jako pustá. Už v roce 1492 je navíc uváděn bývalý rožmberský úředník Racek Cukr z Tamfeldu a to jako "pán dědičný na Navarově a zboží nístějském". Protože zde chybí zmínka o hradu (nahrazen zbožím), dá se usuzovat, že Nístějka v té době již nestála. Pouze v rovině spekulací zatím zůstává možnost, že požár stál za nenadálou smrtí Mikuláše z Jenštejna.

Girls Basketball Season Recap
Aaron Orbeck
The Bulldogs' last loss to the Holy Names Academy in the consolation bracket of the Metro League Playoffs marks the end of their season. Similar to the boys' basketball team, the girls' team had a strong regular season with a record of seven wins and only two losses. One of those loses was sustained against eventual league winners Seattle Prep.
Unfortunately, the Bulldogs' post-season didn't go as well as they would have hoped. Garfield started off strong with a dominant 58-27 win over Roosevelt. The semi-final game was against number one seed, Seattle Prep which they lost 72-54. That loss sent the Bulldogs down to the consolation bracket for a game against Holy Names which they also lost 60-51.
This year, the Bulldogs found quality scoring from many players who will return next season. Juniors Jada Walters and Kiana Davis led the team with 12.2 and 12.1 points per game respectively. Sophomore Naveah Talbert followed close behind with 11.3 points per game. Additionally, the Bulldogs were missing some key players due to conflict with the travel ball season.
Fans of the Bulldogs should have hope for next year since many of the top performers on the team are going to return next year. Hopefully the 2021-22 season sees the Bulldogs return to their State Championship winning ways.

Q: Usefulness of yield I was wondering when yield would be useful. It seems to me that I can use Linq everytime I can use yield.
Let's say I have this Test class
public class Test
{
    public object Test1;
    public object Test2;

    public Test(object test1, object test2)
    {
        this.Test1 = test1;
        this.Test2 = test2;
    }
}

And those two DataTables
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
dt1.Columns.Add("test1", typeof(string));
dt1.Columns.Add("test2", typeof(string));
dt1.Rows.Add("a1", "a2");
dt1.Rows.Add("b1", "b2");

DataTable dt2 = new DataTable();
dt2.Columns.Add("test1", typeof(string));
dt2.Columns.Add("test2", typeof(string));
dt2.Rows.Add("c1", "c2");
dt2.Rows.Add("d1", "d2");

Example 1
If I want to get a IEnumerable<Test> for dt1 I could do
IEnumerable<Test> GetTests(DataTable dt)
{
    foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
    {
        yield return new Test(row["test1"], row["test2"]);
    }
}

IEnumerable<Test> tests = GetTests(dt1);

But I could simply do
IEnumerable<Test> testsLinq = dt1.Rows.OfType<DataRow>()
                                      .Select(row => new Test(row["test1"], row["test2"]));

Example 2
Another yield use I know is to merge
IEnumerable<Test> MergeTests(DataTable dt1, DataTable dt2)
{
    foreach (DataRow row in dt1.Rows)
    {
        yield return new Test(row["test1"], row["test2"]);
    }

    foreach (DataRow row in dt2.Rows)
    {
        yield return new Test(row["test1"], row["test2"]);
    }
}

IEnumerable<Test> mergedTests = MergeTests(dt1, dt2);

But again, I could do
IEnumerable<Test> mergedTestsLinq = dt1.Rows.OfType<DataRow>()
                                            .Select(row => new Test(row["test1"], row["test2"]))
                                            .Union(dt2.Rows.OfType<DataRow>()
                                                           .Select(row => new Test(row["test1"], row["test2"])));

Is there some case I am not aware of where yield is best used over Linq?

A: yield return is a lot more flexible when the data structure is not linear.
For example, you could use it to enumerate a tree in preorder, postorder, or inorder:
IEnumerable<T> InorderTree<T>(TreeNode<T> node) {
    if (node.Left != null) {
        foreach (var x in InorderTree(node.Left)) {
            yield return x;
        }
    }
    if (node.Right != null) {
        foreach (var x in InorderTree(node.Right)) {
            yield return x;
        }
    }
    yield return node.Value;
}

You could also produce a method that yields a sequence of Fibonacci numbers:
IEnumerable<int> Fibonacci(int n) {
    int first = 0, second = 1;
    for (int c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ ) {
        int next;
        if ( c <= 1 ) {
            next = c;
        } else {
            next = first + second;
            first = second;
            second = next;
        }
        yield return next;
    }
}

Avnet Strengthens Security Presence Through Links With RSA
Eric Doyle, August 11, 2014, 10:13 am
Avnet TS extends distribution agreement with RSA following opening of SNS division in Emea
Following the expansion of its security and networking solutions division in Emea last June, Avnet Technology Solutions has announced extensions to its distribution agreement with RSA.
The distributor will be releasing products in the UK, France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Italy and Spain will also be included following Avnet's relaunch of its business there following the Magirus acquisition in 2012.
As part of EMC, RSA manages organisational risk for many of the world's leading organisations. Avnet's Emea Competence Centre in the Netherlands will be the focus of the two companies' efforts. This will cover safeguarding mobile access and collaboration, preventing online fraud, and defending against advanced threats.
Steve Wheeler, channel sales director at RSA, said, "Avnet's proven expertise for helping resellers target growth opportunities and deliver complete business solutions aligns with our business strategy for channel development. Avnet's new security business model and strong positioning in the data centre will help RSA address new partner and market opportunities."
Miriam Murphy (pictured), Avnet's senior vice president for enterprise sales and marketing across Emea, commented, "Our existing distribution agreement with RSA continues to expand in Europe, which means we're well positioned to address additional high potential growth markets. We will continue to help security partners, such as RSA, develop and manage new business models for security technologies as the market evolves."
Avnet's new security & networking solutions (SNS) division in the Netherlands was opened this quarter as an integral part of nurturing channel opportunities. The centre will act as an Emea hub for delivering value across the region. The Commercial Competence Centre will be backed up locally by Avnet's specialists to provide the necessary support in this highly complex and technical marketplace.
"The launch of our new division in this high growth, strategic market for security and networking is a natural fit to complement our extensive Emea partnerships in this space. By leveraging our resources, value-added services and skills we can help partners enter or expand in this complex marketplace, accelerating their time to market," said Graeme Watt, president of Avnet Technology Solutions in Emea.

St. Kitts tremors are warning for preparedness: expert
story-editor
By Kenichi Serino
ST. AUGUSTINE, Trinidad and Tobago — A series of small earthquakes that occurred last weekend north of St. Kitts are a warning that the Federation, and the Caribbean region as a whole, need to prepare for a much larger incident, an expert has said.
On Dec. 6 at 4:28 p.m. to Dec. 7 at 9:50 a.m. The University of West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI SRC) recorded that a burst of 54 earthquakes occurred to the north of St. Kitts ranging in magnitude from 1.2 to 4.1.
Although no one reported feeling the earthquakes so far, they should still be taken as a warning about the lack of earthquake preparedness in the region, says UWI SRC's Dr. Joan Latchman.
"The occurrence of small [incidents] would remind us that we have a seismic hazard. And seismic hazards should be treated with great respect," said Latchman.
Latchman said the region has had a history of devastating earthquakes including one of an estimated magnitude of between 8.1 to 8.5 that struck between Antigua and Gaudeloupe in 1843. According to the UWI website, thousands were killed and the economy heavily disrupted. Another quake of an estimated magnitude of 7.5 to 7.9 struck west of Trinidad in 1766. An untold number of people were killed and all masonry buildings and the local economy itself were destroyed.
"The goal is for us to recognize that we have this seismic hazard in the Eastern Caribbean region. To understand that because of our place in the North American and South American plates where it is converging," said Latchman.
The convergence is happening extremely slowly however, "this fact should not make us complacent and treat the hazard as one that is not real and not serious."
Latchman could not estimate the extent of the destruction should the region be hit by an earthquake but said it could be much worse than past quakes.
"We would have to know the status of the building stock and what they can withstand. But if you look at the historical account, the death toll was very high, the damage was very high," said Latchman.
"Given the population density we have now, we would expect to take a high death toll if the structures were not earthquake resistant."
Latchman said governments should include earthquake preparation into consideration when it makes public policy, such as infrastructure construction, medical and equipment preparation and building code enforcement.
"The investments we are making in developing these states should be done the context of sustainability. Such that when the large magnitude event occurs will not send us back a generation," said Latchman.
Latchman said policy makers in the region could take their cues from their counterparts in California and Japan, who in the aftermath of serious earthquakes made plans for the future to soften the impact of future quakes.
"We should not wait to be devastated to learn, we can learn from those that have had that experience and the measures they have implemented and found useful," she said.
"It is either that we are building for the future or we are not. We are either leaving our children a legacy they can build or not."
Latchman warned that the effects of a devastating earthquake could go beyond property and economic damage but also human resources. She cited the Armenian earthquake of 1988 where 80 percent of the country's medical professionals were killed.
"Rich countries might treat their people as expendable, but we should not. When we invest in our people, it's a major investment for our country," Latchman said.
"You don't only lose things, you will lose people. There is knowledge, there is experience."
Latchman said in addition to government, individuals should also be prepared for what they would do in the case of an earthquake.
"We have our part to play in being prepared mentally that one day certain events will occur, we should be mentally prepared so we know what to do before during and after," Latchman said.

Barry Hearn: 'I hit my son with a proper shot but he dropped me twice'
Donald McRae
When Eddie Hearn was 16, his father decided to see if he had what it takes to be big in business. The pair's competitiveness is the bedrock of Matchroom Sport – the force behind the Joshua-Klitschko world title fight at Wembley Stadium
@donaldgmcrae

April is a huge month in the money-spinning world of Barry and Eddie Hearn and the father-and-son promotional duo are in knockabout form. Eddie saunters into his dad's office in Romford and says: "How was Miami?"
"Great," Barry beams as he rocks in his chair, having landed at Heathrow a few hours earlier. "They're going crazy about you selling 90,000 tickets for Joshua-Klitschko. They can't believe it. Where've you been?"
"Monaco," Eddie says as he sits down at his dad's desk. Barry will run the world snooker championship from Saturday in Sheffield but the 68-year-old chairman of Matchroom Sport is beaming because his 37-year-old son is about to promote one of the biggest nights in the history of British boxing. On 29 April Anthony Joshua defends his IBF world heavyweight title against Wladimir Klitschko before a sold-out Wembley Stadium and a pay-per-view audience which should exceed a million buys.
Wladimir Klitschko praises Anthony Joshua's strength but queries his ability
Despite having access to a private jet on a recent trip with Joshua to America, Eddie winces in amusement. "I was on easyJet from Nice yesterday and me and Frank, who works for me, were in the last row. My arse just about fits but my knees won't go flat. I said to Frank, who also went on the private jet: 'Fucking hell, where did it all go wrong?'"
He and his father burst out laughing before Eddie says: "We could buy a private jet tomorrow but it doesn't feel right. It's about value for money."
The Hearns pride themselves on a flash exterior but a grounded practicality on the inside. Barry, who became an accountant after his mother persuaded him the profession would transcend the limited opportunities of his working-class background, leans forward. "When I was growing up I used to dislike people from better areas because I had a chip on my shoulder. I might still have it [he laughs]. But I didn't want my son to grow up like one of those rich kids. So I thought the easiest way was to have a little set-to."
Barry returns to the moment when he fought his son in the ring. "It was due to happen when I was 18," Eddie remembers. "But it happened at 16 because I got so big. He came out, his teeth gritted. He was really going for it."
"I wanted to find out what you were like," Barry says. "I hit him with a proper shot. It was great because he came back and dropped me twice in the second round. It was the best defeat I ever had. That competitiveness is how we run our business."
But Barry meddled in Eddie's brief amateur boxing career to protect him. "My first fight was in Dagenham," Eddie recalls. "I was introduced in the ring and was really excited and giving it the big one. But they said: 'In the blue corner …from Billericay … Eddie … Hills!'"
Hearn Jr mimics his outrage. "I won a scrappy fight. The floor was carpet tiles so every time you went to throw a punch they'd come up. I was buzzing but said to dad: 'I can't believe they got my name wrong.' He said: 'I told them to call you Eddie Hills otherwise they'd try to give you a pasting because of me.'"
Barry grins. "The bigger reason was he went to a public school and he was a spoiled kid. He wasn't a great student."
Eddie nods cheerfully. "I played a lot of sport instead."

But Eddie was bright and soon swapped his boxing gloves for selling double-glazing on the phone. "I worked for Weatherseal in Romford. I'd go there after college at night and do telesales. It's the worst job in the world but the best training for sales. For every rejection we had an answer on a list – from 'I've just lost my husband,' to 'I've just done my double-glazing.' We always had a reason to make an appointment.
"I was on £3 an hour but for every appointment you got a £5 bonus and your money went up by £1 an hour. So every booking was worth £7. But then I did work experience for dad at 17. I was selling sponsorship in fight magazines, which was a doddle compared to phoning some geezer about double-glazing who says: 'Fuck off, I don't want to talk to you.'"
Selling Joshua-Klitschko is also easier and Barry believes, "it could be the biggest [British] pay-per-view fight of all time."
Eddie nods. "Froch-Groves did 850,000 buys. Mayweather-Hatton 1.01m. Mayweather-Pacquiao 1.1m."
"That was at five in the morning," Hearn Sr says. "This is primetime."
"All you're lacking in this fight is the bad bloke," Eddie says. "Boxing people go: 'How refreshing.' But I might think: 'AJ, hit him at the press conference.' No chance. He'd laugh at you. But it's huge anyway. I'm actually concerned about Klitschko as it's a complete 50-50 fight.'"
After only 18 bouts it is hard to know if Joshua is as good as early indications suggest. Klitschko is long past his best, at 41, but he is a proud and intelligent former world champion.
Hearn Jr might be cranking up the promotion but he also makes some salient points. "AJ has youth, power, speed. When it comes to experience, it's all Klitschko. This is his 29th world title fight and he don't need the money. He's obsessed with winning back his world title."
"My bet is AJ walks through him" Barry says. "Klitschko is too old and too slow. AJ has got the one asset in a heavyweight I haven't seen since Ali and that's his hand speed."

But Ali had a chin to match his hand-speed. Does Joshua? "Everybody can go over if you hit them right," Barry says. "Some, like Amir Khan, go over if you sneeze at them. I'm not saying AJ's got a granite chin. But by the time you throw a shot at him, he's hit you twice. The time it takes Klitschko's brain to say, 'Throw a jab followed by a right,' is the moment the fight is over."
Eddie shakes his head. "You underestimate Klitschko's footwork. He's clever and horribly awkward. The one thing AJ has got which might work to his advantage, or disadvantage, is fearlessness. He will unload 10 shots without fear of reply which could be a problem against an excellent counterpuncher like Klitschko – who hits hard."
Barry remains the chairman of Matchroom Sport – an empire built on his relentless work with snooker in the 1980s, and then boxing, before his staggeringly successful reinvention of darts. Matchroom now promote 11 different sports and their last set of company accounts recorded a turnover exceeding £70m with an annual profit over £7m.
"We have 541 event days this year and we'll transmit 40,000 hours of television," Barry says. "Snooker, for example, is booming. I've been back in it seven years and the ratings are 25% up which is amazing because everywhere else they're 10% down. But snooker will never get back to what it was in the 1980s. Snooker players today are the introverts of sport."

Eddie shrugs. "They're robotic. Now there's more money, it's more serious. Instead of getting pissed and throwing a plant pot at someone, the modern snooker player is in bed at eight with his eye mask and glass of milk. It's like golf. Name me a character in golf. They finish a round and then do strength-and-conditioning before an early night. It's boring."
"Sport is personality-led but, unfortunately, personalities don't win anymore," Barry says. "The guys that live their lives recklessly don't get success. Ronnie O'Sullivan, a genius, is the exception. I wish I had six more like him."
Eddie prefers the snooker era which made his dad's name. "The public had words for every player. Alex Higgins? Drunk, genius, hurricane. Jimmy White? Whirlwind, lunatic, can't win the worlds. Steve Davis? Boring, unbeatable, ginger geezer. Now? Mark Selby? You might say jester. Shaun Murphy? Seems a nice geezer. Neil Robertson? Blond-haired geezer. We're not reeling off superlatives. There's too much at stake, so they don't become characters."
Barry is pragmatic towards snooker but more passionate about boxing and, especially, darts, which he describes as "the best thing I've ever bought".
Hearn Jr says: "When we took over darts you'd go to Circus Tavern for the world champs and if you didn't have a sovereign ring and a tattoo you weren't allowed in. That was just the women. Now young women dress up for a night out at the darts."
His father grins. "It's classless. Of course it's not as addictive as boxing – which is so much better now. When I was doing boxing we were in leisure centres with 800 people and most of the customers look like that [he flattens his nose into a splattered pancake]. Now Eddie sells 20,000 tickets for fun on the back of his Twitter following."
As the world changes, so does sport. Would they move into e-sports? "We only get involved with sports we have a passion for," Barry suggests. "No passion, no point is our motto. I've never played a computer game."
Eddie is much closer in age to the gaming superstars but remains bemused. "How can you have 20,000 people in an arena watching one geek play another at Fifa? We're so good at selling boxing because we love it. Boxing is the greatest sport by a country mile. But these gamers have incredible followings and things are changing. We have boxing at York Hall and from 7 to 10 it's live on Facebook and gets half-a-million viewers. Then we switch to Sky Sports for two title fights and get 100,000 viewers. Younger fans consume sport differently."
How do they feel about the rise of UFC? 'People are trying to lure us in'
How do they feel about the rise of UFC? "People are trying to lure us in," Eddie says. "I don't mind MMA and I've been fascinated by Conor McGregor from a business perspective. McGregor is one of the world's best MMA fighters but I've got kids at York Hall who would beat him hands down in a boxing match. And he's fighting Floyd Mayweather? That's the biggest boxing mismatch ever but if they need a promoter, give me a call. I'd snap it up."
"MMA is not a top priority," Hearn Sr says. "But in five years Eddie will step back from boxing and take a more corporate role within Matchroom – with people reporting to him just like he reports to me on boxing now."
Will that mark the moment when a booming family business floats on the Stock Exchange? "I can't rule it out," Eddie says. "But dad always says: 'When I die, if you sell this business I will curse you from the grave.'"
Barry lets slip a ghostly smile. "We've had some very substantial offers the last few years. The fact we can say: 'We own the snooker, we own the darts' makes us worth an awful lot of money. But I still want to go to work at eight in the morning. So I told this particular person who wanted to buy us out: 'You're wasting your time.'"
"Yeah," Eddie says. "Then I leaned forward and said: 'But, the moment he dies, you ring me …'"
They break out into cackling laughter. "I don't think that'll actually happen," Barry says, looking at his son. "I think he's too much like me to give it up."

Will Marijuana Become the Next Sports Medicine?
Some big-name athletes are calling for medical marijuana to replace dangerous and addictive prescription painkillers. Pro sports leagues are listening but not acting. How long until that changes?
In a recent interview withRolling Stone, Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin summed up the growing support for the use of medical marijuana as a pain management tool in professional sports in simple terms. "It doesn't really affect me, but so many guys would probably benefit from it, and not take painkillers, which have worse long-term effects," said the 25-year-old All-Star. "So I would vote yes. I just think it makes sense."
Griffin isn't the first athlete to voice this opinion: in the last year, former Denver Broncos tight-end Nate Jackson has spoken of the positive impact of pot use to regulate the extraordinary amount of pain he endured during his tenure in the National Football League, while a host of other sports figures, from veteran wide-receiver Randy Moss to Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps and wrestling superstar Rob Van Dam, have either admitted to marijuana use, or testified to the media about its efficacy as a pain medication and stress reliever. Even NFL commissioner Roger Goodell hasexpressed willingness to "follow the medicine" in regard to marijuana use for medicinal purposes.
With public support for the legalization of pot and use of medicinal marijuana now passing the 50% mark among Americans, is it possible that the NFL, Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association may embrace the drug as the sports medicine of the 21st century? Unfortunately, the answer is also neatly summarized in a statement from Goodell: "I don't see any change in the near future."
There are volumes of research regarding the efficacy of marijuana as treatment for numerous sports-related injuries, from basic chronic pain to the devastating symptoms associated with concussions and even issues of stress and fear which can affect crucial decision making in a game. Such positive attributes take on even greater significance when weighed against the toll taken on players by the widespread reliance on opioid painkillers by team and league doctors.
A 2011 survey of 644 former NFL players by ESPN and researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis revealed an alarming statistic: 52% of the players polled said that they used prescription medication while playing the game, with 71% of those individuals admitting that they misused the drugs at the time. A further 15% admitted that they had misused medication within the last 30 days. Figures like these, as well as incidents of death or severe debilitation due to painkillers (such as New York Rangers left-winger Derek Boogard, who succumbed to an overdose of pills and alcohol) underscore the fact that the prescription drug problem within the sports industry is approaching the same epidemic level of addiction and overdose that plagues the general population.
Why, then, does professional sports continue to turn a blind eye towards medical marijuana? Two reasons: public opinion and fear. In a recent poll by HBO Real Sports and the Marist Poll, six in ten Americans stated that marijuana should continue to be banned from professional sports, even in states where the drug has become legal. Those polled cited the high standards by which athletes should be regarded as the key factor for their response. "Smoking marijuana, even if legal, would likely shatter the image of excellence we demand from our sports heroes," said Dr. Keith Strudler, Director of the Marist College Center for Sports Communication.
Old taboos regarding the level of impairment caused by a marijuana high have also colored the industry's attitude. As Denver Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton noted, "We make a lot of money to perform at a high level, so if guys were coming into the locker room stoned out of their [minds], they won't perform at a high level. There has to be some governing." Knighton's comments also highlight a significant factor that fuels the leagues' negative reaction towards marijuana use: the possibility of lost income due to the drug's supposed detrimental effect on players' health.
Though prescription drugs have been proved to have disastrous long-term effects on players, the industry understands that this approach has kept their teams on the field in the short term, while marijuana remains an unknowable. However, the result is a shortsightedness that, as author Paul Solotaroff has written in regard to the NFL, has made professional sports "[close] its eyes to medical malpractice by many of its doctors and trainers. It does so not because it lacks the will to police its staff and players, but because the game itself could not survive without these powerful drugs."
Sadly, a prevailing attitude such as that will yield as many tragedies—like Derek Boogard—as it will produce championship rings. Article Link "the fix"…

Health Policy Careers + Salary Basics
The following page shows the career & education requirements, salary and job outlook for a Health Policy around the country.
Nurses with specialization in healthcare policy generally have the choice to assume a wide range of different managerial roles as part of their position within a healthcare organization or an insurance company. These professionals can take part in work that includes anything from analyzing laws on healthcare, to considering regulations or policies at a local, state, or federal levels. Some medical health policy professionals act as advocates for patients, or healthcare organizations.
Most health policy nurses will work within a medical environment such as a hospital, doctor's office or clinic, while a large majority will also work alongside insurance companies and other individuals responsible for managing policies. These individuals typically work behind the scenes in most circumstances, and don't have much one on one contact with patients.
How to Become a Health Policy
The first step towards earning a job as a health policy expert is to earn your bachelor's degree in nursing. This will give you the education and guidance that you need to start working as a registered nurse, so long as you are able to successfully pass the national council licensure examination for registered nurses. The next step in your career will involve earning a master of science degree in nursing, or an MSN. This degree should generally include classes into health policy, as well as a health policy residency that allows you to explore a number of advocacy organizations, community groups, applicable organizations and government offices.
Training & Certification Requirements
According to most experts, if you would like to enter a health policy nursing career, you will need to earn at least a number of years of experience working as a licensed registered nurse. Most companies will consider an MSN degree with a concentration in health policy to be the minimum credential in education for those willing to enter this specialty, but you may find that you also benefit from achieving your doctorate degree, if you are willing to undergo the extra training.

Binance's Partner Allows Users to Buy Crypto with Credit Card in JPY and CAD
Israeli-based fintech and cryptocurrency firm Simplex now supports two new fiat currencies — the Japanese yen (JPY) and the Canadian dollar (CAD).
Following the addition, users at some of Simplex's partner exchanges such as Binance will be able to buy crypto via credit cards using JPY and CAD, industry publication The Block reports Dec. 9.
Not all Simplex's partner exchanges will be supporting JPY and CAD by default
Cointelegraph contacted both Simplex and Binance in order to confirm the news. Simplex's spokesperson confirmed the report, noting that the company's partners are now able to allow their users to buy crypto using CAD or JPY on their credit card. The representative hasn't specified what companies would be first to enable the feature.
Binance hasn't responded to Cointelegraph's request for comment at the time of publication. This article will be updated upon receipt of those comments.
Simplex announced a new partnership with OKEx
In conjunction with new currencies' addition, Simplex has also announced a new partnership with major cryptocurrency exchange OKEx. According to a tweet from Dec. 9, Simplex has partnered with OKEx to allow its users to buy Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), XRP, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC) via debit and credit cards.
The new feature is available on OKEx's official website.
Simplex plans to add Russian ruble and Turkish lira soon
Additionally, Simplex CEO and founder Nimrod Lehavi reportedly revealed the company's plans to add Russian rubles and Turkish lira support "very soon." Lehavi claimed that Japan and Canada are not only two of the top markets for crypto but also "among the top 10 territories for credit card usage globally," the report notes.
As previously reported, Simplex is a European Union-licensed financial institution and payments processing provider. With offices in Israel, the United Kingdom, the United States and Lithuania, the company provides "fraud-free" payment processing services to companies including Shapeshift, the Litecoin Foundation, Xapo and Changelly.
According to the report, Simplex supported three fiat currencies before adding CAD and JPY: the U.S. dollar, euro and the British pound. Alongside Binance, other partner exchanges include OKCoin, KuCoin, Huobi, and Poloniex, among others.
Binance partnered with Simplex to unlock credit card crypto purchases in January 2019.


Solar water heating is the first step if you want to cut down your electricity bills. A solar water heater can supply all your hot water needs at no electricity costs thereby reducing about 25% of your electricity consumption here in Malta.
Warranty: 10 year warranty on the whole product.
Quality: The solar water heaters offered by Renergy comply with all the relevant international standards including EN12976, TUV, DIN and the Solar Keymark. For more information about the European Solar Keymark certification scheme for solar water heaters visit: www.estif.org/solarkeymark.
Reliability: Ibersolar solar water heaters have been installed and running for the last 40 years.
Local certification: Our solar water heaters are fully compliant with the Malta Resources Authority and are eligible for grants on renewable energy systems.
Efficiency: The high efficiency of the systems ensures that they provide the best value for money.
Flexibility: Different sized models are available to suit the needs of different households. Ibersolar solar water heaters have tank volumes of 120, 150, 200 and 300 litres.
Using radiation from the sun, a sophisticated solar collector is used to capture the maximum amount of solar energy and transfer it to a fluid. A high efficiency selective coating on the collector ensures that much of the solar radiation is absorbed while limiting the amount of heat that is emitted back to the atmosphere. The solar fluid heats up in the collector and is then used to indirectly heat water in a storage cylinder.
Ibersolar solar water heaters are designed especially for the Mediterranean region and can work even in our high summer temperatures without any problems. The systems are manufactured in Greece by Sammler Solar using state of the art manufacturing techniques. The latest laser welding technology is used for fabricating the collector ensuring high efficiency and superior quality in the finished product. Every product is tested by an accredited test laboratory in Europe to guarantee the durability and efficiency of the product.
2.09 squared metres flat-plate collector with aluminium absorber and selective black paint (OP-V210) or high efficiency Mirotherm coating (OPS-V210 and OPS-V250).
Stainless steel (grade 316L) or Grey-painted, polymer coated galvanised steel sheet outer tank cover.
Rigid 50 mm polyurethane insulation to retain heat in the tank.
Two magnesium anodes for corrosion protection.
Double enamelled inner steel tank certified in compliance with German DIN 4753/T3 standards.
Maximum primary circuit operating pressure:10 bar.
Maximum secondary circuit operating pressure: 6 bar.
Expansion vessel integrated into the cylinder.
As solar thermal technology does not rely on sunlight but on solar radiation, it can work very efficiently in our climate even on cloudy days. Using the sun as a renewable energy source helps the environment, leads to reduced energy bills and means less reliance on gas and electricity for water heating.


According to a survey by the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Facebook advertising aimed at children is of increasing concern to parents.
Almost half of the parents who were polled say they worry about this type of marketing, which raises the bar on the issue as to whether the Government will take action against "stealth advertising" that targets children on social networks such as Facebook.
A total of 44% of parents approve of legislation to prevent the commercialisation and sexualisation of children, while the Prime Minister has said that protecting youngsters from inappropriate consumer and sexual content is his personal priority.
