Less than a year after leaving office, former President Barack Obama has comfortably entrenched himself within the uppermost echelons of the top 1 percent, pocketing one six-figure check after the next, while hobnobbing with the Wall Street criminals who benefitted the most from his presidency.
He has found himself quite at ease vacationing with billionaires, spending time on their yachts and on their exclusive private island resorts.
Obama's smooth transition from the White House to Wall Street is a particularly crude expression of the nexus between the state and corporate America. No matter the endless hand-wringing in the liberal press over the impact of the outright exposure of the corruption the Democratic Party, Obama just can't help himself.
Anyhow, there is little shame seen by leading Democratic Party financiers and supporters in Obama's mad rush for millions.
"I don't think getting any grief for doing this is going to bother him at all," corporate attorney Sean Coffey, a prominent Democratic Party donor who worked on Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns, told Bloomberg News.
Clinton in her new book What Happened blames everyone and anyone else, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and "fake news," for her loss in the 2016 elections. However, a major factor in her loss was the exposure of her deep ties to Wall Street, including the publication of her secret paid speeches to Goldman Sachs.
It was on this basis that the Democratic Party was rejected by millions who correctly identified it as a party of Wall Street.
Just last month, Obama was paid $400,000 by Northern Trust, a private bank for the ultra-wealthy headquartered in Chicago, for an appearance in New York City alongside executives from Microsoft and IBM and billionaire Michael Bloomberg.
Obama was already well acquainted with the bank executives and clients with whom he rubbed shoulders; Northern Trust gave the then-freshman US senator from Illinois a significant discount on a $1.3 million home loan in 2005. The deal saved the fledgling millionaire and his wife Michelle Obama thousands of dollars in mortgage payments every year on their mansion in the exclusive Hyde Park neighborhood.
Under Obama, the stock market and corporate profits soared to record heights. Rather than prosecuting those bankers and corporate fraudsters who crashed the world in economy in 2008, Obama bailed them out. Unlimited amounts of free money were pumped into the stock market, ensuring that stock prices and corporate value soared to record heights.
Obama became the first president to be at war for two full terms, dropping bombs on at least seven countries and continuing the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. He pioneered assassinations by unmanned drone missile strikes, personally approving targets for death at meetings held on "Terror Tuesdays," murdering hundreds of civilians in the process.
As the wars raged and the financial oligarchs were allowed to engorge themselves on the ever-greater amounts of wealth that are being piled up at the top of society, the living standards of the working class were driven down with wages slashed and health care and pensions torn away. Obama oversaw the greatest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in history.
Obama is just starting to reap the rewards of a job well done serving the interests of the financial elite and the military-intelligence apparatus.
In April, he received $400,000 from A&E Television and received an undisclosed amount for a discussion in May about food with his former White House chef in Milan, Italy.
Last week, he spoke at an event sponsored by the Carlyle Group, where he earned $400,000. Next week, Obama will give the keynote address at a health care conference sponsored by the financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, his bank account to be infused with yet another tranche of $400,000.
A book deal was signed by the Obamas earlier this year worth $65 million. By some estimates he and Michelle will eventually rake in more than $242 million from speeches, book deals and pensions.

New Fund Aims to Close Lending Gap for Women Entrepreneurs
Words by Amy Brown
Shavon Marley (pictured above), owner and founder of Marley Transport & Trucking in Raleigh, North Carolina, is one of many women to benefit from this new impact investing fund.
Women are becoming entrepreneurs at a rate far faster than men in the U.S. Yet less than 5 percent of small business lending—only $1 in $23—goes to women. Fintech company CNote aims to change that with a new impact investment product directed at low- to moderate-income women and women of color.
The Wisdom Fund, a fixed income vehicle that increases capital access and lending for women-owned businesses, was created by CNote in partnership with mission-driven lender CDC Small Business Finance and four innovative nonprofits, said Catherine Berman, CEO and co-founder of women-owned CNote.
With the mission of closing the wealth gap, CNote is a financial platform that directs every dollar invested toward funding female- and minority-led small businesses, affordable housing, and economic development in financially underserved communities across America.
"We hear a lot about the gap in venture capital funding for women, but the biggest gulf is for women-owned small businesses," Berman told TriplePundit. "Most women-owned businesses are small businesses, with the goal of achieving economic independence and freedom of options, and much of that is grown out of debt. If we're serious about closing this gap for women, we have to shine a light on both the funding and the wealth gap, not just the income gap."
The Wisdom Fund will funnel money from accredited investors—institutions, funds, foundations, family offices and individuals—into business loans for low- to moderate-income women and women of color. Minority-owned businesses often face discriminatory lending practices and are less likely to be approved for small business loans, and even if they are, data indicates they receive smaller amounts at a much higher interest rate.
"We can work toward changing that and create a new generation of prosperity," Berman said.
Easing the way for minority-owned businesses
Black women, as the fastest-growing group of business owners in the U.S., stand to benefit enormously from the kind of support that the Wisdom Fund offers, Berman told us. According to a report from the Association for Enterprise Opportunity, the median net worth for black business owners is 12 times higher than black nonbusiness owners.
One of the women to benefit from the Wisdom Fund is Shavon Marley (pictured above), owner and founder of Marley Transport & Trucking in Raleigh, North Carolina. Thanks to a loan from the Carolina Small Business Development Fund, which also provided coaching, tools and services, Marley was able to support her new business and fund insurance for the trucks in her growing, family-operated enterprise.
"I don't think we could've done any of that . . . without the funding," Shavon wrote in a blog on CNote's website. "We certainly wouldn't have been able to grow."
During a three-phase build-up, Wisdom Fund partners will collect, share and act on data about what works for women entrepreneurs, Berman explained. In the first eight months, participants will fill in the knowledge gap, gathering information on how women interact with the loan process, what hangs them up and what eases their path. In phase two, the partners will experiment with new ways to serve women that remove barriers. Around the one-year mark, the focus will shift to scaling the program by continuing to add new lending partners, increasing investment and implementing best practices across the network.
"There's lots of data on how women are shut out of venture capital. We don't know as much about why women are shut out of debt capital," Allison Kelly, senior vice president of strategy and innovation at CDC Small Business Finance, said in a statement announcing the Wisdom Fund.
CDFIs: America's best kept secret
The loans from the Wisdom Fund are provided by nonprofit community lenders with decades of experience delivering the capital and resources that women small business owners need, Berman said. Community development finance institutions (CDFIs) "are America's best kept secrets," she added. "Many Americans don't know that many of their favorite small businesses are funded by CDFIs. They address the most immediate community needs, like affordable housing as well as the fastest-growing entrepreneurs. We believe that together, we can unlock the capital to help these small business owners grow."
Investors in the Wisdom Fund will earn an estimated 4 percent annual return, over a 60-month term, on a loan portfolio that's diversified across established CDFIs, according to CNote.
"That means the Wisdom Fund can reduce the gender and racial wealth gaps while giving impact investors a solid return," Berman said.

Q: Cannot read property 'small' of undefined When trying to access a link as the src of an image from the API, I get an error that says that the property is undefinded.
Here is an example of an item from the API, they all have the same properties:
{
    "id": 1,
    "date": 1606311631,
    "title": "A Simple Guide to Design Thinking",
    "content": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.",
    "thumbnail": {
      "large": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1454692173233-f4f34c12adad?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1180&q=80",
      "small": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1454692173233-f4f34c12adad?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=590&q=80"
    },
    "author": {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "avatar": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1492562080023-ab3db95bfbce?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&auto=format&fit=crop&w=400&h=400&q=80",
      "role": "Product Owner"
    }
  },

Now, I mapped all the items from the json, but when I call this function:
const AppContainer = (props) => {
    return (
        <>
            {props.data.map((item) => (
                <ItemWrapper key={item.id} item={item} />
            ))}
        </>
    );
};

const ItemWrapper = (item) => {
    return (
        <>

{item.title}

{item.content}

                {item.author.name} - {item.author.role}

{item.date}

        </>
    );
};

I get "TypeError: Cannot read property 'small' of undefined" error. It's reading item.thumbnail, but small seems nowhere to be found. How should I correct this?

A: You are not destructuring your props object properly :
const ItemWrapper = ({item})

A conversation with Stanford's Dr. Jamie Zeitzer, world-renowned expert on sleep medicine.
Aurelien David: Let's start with a hot topic. There is much chatter these days about blue light from screens keeping us awake at night. Should we really worry?
Dr. Jamie Zeitzer: To some extent, yes — but not only for the reasons everyone expects. True, recent studies have shown that the light from an e-reader could disrupt sleep; but these were performed in laboratory conditions that differ from a real-world setting. The physiological effect of a screen in the evening is complicated and depends, for instance, on how much light you received throughout the day — with more daytime light being better for sleep.
In fact, the psychological stimulus due to what you're watching on your screen may matter as much as the light stimulus itself. Checking e-mail at night may be fine for some people but stressful for others; playing a game might stimulate you or relax you, depending on your personality. This means we should all pay more attention to ourselves, and be mindful of which electronic activities are acceptable.
AD: Is this to say concerns about light-sleep disruption are overblown?
JZ: Not quite — but the main culprit isn't the one everybody suspects. We tend to get more light exposure from the lightbulbs in our homes than from our screens. People are surprised to hear this, but then again we tend to be pretty bad at judging absolute light levels — often, we can't even tell when the brightness in a room has been doubled.
But think about it: our lightbulbs are on all the time and their light enters our eyes from all directions, bouncing off walls and objects. This amounts to a large dose of light over several hours. So, even though lightbulbs emit a warmer light than screens, they definitely have an impact on our sleep.
AD: Stepping back a bit, how well do we understand the health implications of sleep deprivation?
JZ: Well enough to know it's a serious matter! Unfortunately, people tend to think of sleep with a short-term view: "I'm feeling tired today, I'll have extra coffee to feel better." Sure enough, self-medication through caffeine takes care of the most immediate effects.
But it doesn't address other serious consequences: sleeplessness affects our metabolism and our mood, weakens our immune system, and it might even be linked to increased risks for some cancers. Just to cite one study out of many — a single night of sleep curtailment already affects our eating patterns, as our body seeks more fat and sugar to combat physiological stress. Scientists are also starting to better understand physiological effects of sleep on our brain: to put it simply, it appears to get rid of the "cellular junk" we accumulate through the day.
AD: Do you have some practical advice on how we can detect lack of sleep and be better about it?
JZ: Here is a simple rule of thumb: if given the opportunity, would you sleep in? If so, you're sleep deprived — and that is nearly everybody's case.
Improving our sleep is the difficult part. Most people lack sleep for a reason, whether it's because they prefer to do something else, or have to work long days. For those who can actually afford to, better sleep starts with a personal act of choice, by deciding sleep deserves your time. The next step is to understand what really disrupts your sleep — and that may take the help of an expert.
AD: A parting question: are you a good sleeper yourself?
JZ: I have an insomniac personality… it takes a thief to catch a thief!

It's been a few more days since my discovery and realization of the Mandela Effect. Shortly after this post, somewhere I read that someone noticed that Cheverolet has changed, so I spent many hours researching this for myself.
I used to work for GM and OnStar and I would read and type "Cheverolet" many times during the day. I noticed the logo changed a few years ago, and chalked it up to re-branding, as companies sometimes do (I'm sure Coca-Cola has had its history changed as well, but can't find a lot of evidence to back this up). I never paid much attention to the spelling, as "Chevrolet" isn't usually bold on the rear of vehicles.
I started searching (on Google, and DuckDuckGo) for Cheverolet and couldn't believe that the only results coming back were for "Chevrolet." Then I searched the history of Chevrolet (and logo) and Cheverolet wasn't listed at all, and looking up models that I used to work with didn't come back with any hits either. I tried a Google search of Cheverolet -Chevrolet and managed to find after market accessories and such, I even found a dealership! but finding ONLY ONE dealership with "Cheverolet" in the name was odd in itself. I admit I didn't go through ALL of Google's returns, just a few pages, but I was beyond confused at this point.
Back in the day, I used the website https://www.nhtsa.gov/ all the time to cross reference information, so my next search was there. I went to the Recall section and searched "Cheverolet" and no results were found. "Chevrolet" on the other hand, yielded 3822 results.
As I am typing this post, all but one "Cheverolet" has the spell check red line, and "Chevrolet" does not. It's weird and tripping me out.
In my last post, I indicated that the geography and Union Jack were what started this realization for me. Well, this Cheverolet thing has solidified any doubts in this phenomenon.
Is there anyone else who remembers Cheverolet?
Yes, it was "Cheverolet". Definitely!

When do 21 Republican senators vote for higher taxes? Answer: When the biggest businesses and local politicians hire top K Street lobbyists to push for the tax-hike legislation.
Many Republican Senate staffers told me that revenue-hungry local politicians -- mayors, governors and state legislators -- successfully wooed some GOP senators and are making progress on House Republicans. One lobbyist who represented local governments said his firm sicced state lawmakers on congressmen and senators -- often their former colleagues -- to back this bill.
But to lock up GOP votes, the support of big business always helps.
Republicans' aversions to taxes and regulations are often rooted in a desire to be "pro-business." Once Wal-Mart and Amazon join hands, pro-business Republicans were happy to support legislation leading to higher taxes.
Look down the list of Republicans who voted for the bill, and you'll see three main types: Republicans at the left end of the party such as John McCain, Susan Collins, and Lindsey Graham; former statewide officials, such as ex-governors Lamar Alexander, John Hoeven, and Mike Johanns; and the K Street crowd, such as former lobbyist Dan Coats or Roger Wicker, the understudy to Trent Lott, the former senator and now Republican superlobbyist.
The coalition of tax-hungry governors and special-favor-seeking big businesses are now trying to pressure House Republicans into betraying their constituents and supporting the National Internet Tax Mandate.

Like men who go to war don't talk about what they did over there, her son, David does not talk about his detainment. And they don't ask.
Bev Hicks is the stepmother of former Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks, who lives in Australia. Ms. Hicks is married to Terry Hicks, the biological father of David Hicks. Hicks was captured in Afghanistan in December 2001 by the Afghan Northern Alliance and sold for a $5,000 bounty to the U.S. military. Ms. Hicks and her husband worked tirelessly with David's attorneys to help their son prove his innocence. In 2007, David Hicks agreed to plea to Material Support of Terrorism in order to be released from Guantanamo. On February 19, 2015, after years of court battles, Hicks' conviction was vacated.
Love and other terms of endearment were censored in her letters to her son.
It took weeks to recover after visiting David and seeing how they had treated him.

Welcome back crafty friends! I find that lately I have been doing really well at creating new things, but not doing a great job at sharing them. I have a plan in place to try to work on changing that…starting with today's masculine scrapbook layout.
This layout started with a white piece of cardstock trimmed down and mounted on a piece of navy patterned paper from the kit. I've been using liquid glue to do this rather than my tag, and boy has having that wiggle room during drying helped me get my bases down a lot straighter…even if I struggle to get a perfectly straight photo.
I originally completed this layout without the mixed media, but it was just to white. To combat this I added some ink using the packaging technique (color is discontinued), and it went from being a layout I wasn't sure about to one I really liked. I have tried the packaging technique many times before and I hadn't been a fan until very recently. What makes the difference for me is taking a tissue or paper towel and sopping some of it up before it dries. It adds the color, but makes it subtle.
Ok – enough about the layout as you can see what I did with the paper strips and embellishments. Let me tell you the story of the photos. Each year for Christmas I fill my husbands stocking. Just recently I have been trying to do themed stocking rather than little tickets. Stuff he'll really use, but it also kinds of funny.
Last year I did personal things – cigar center soap – dapper dan hair gel from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou – etc. This year I decided to fill the entire stocking with little bottles of liquor like the kind you get in the mini bar. I figured it would be fun to try all different drink concoctions without buying big bottles. My hubby laughed and laughed when he took the third bottle out and pretended he was drinking it all in one shot. It will be a fun memory.
I hope you've enjoyed this layout and I'll be sure to be back with more soon. Until then – stay crafty!

Bullisher outlook: How DeFi and decentralised exchanges could continue to grow
Post date 18. October 2020
Decentralised financing (DeFi) has experienced parabolic growth since the beginning of 2020, with the total value of these contracts, which are largely based on Ethereum, rising from $1 billion to the current $12 billion.
Decentralised stock exchanges (dexs) have been a key factor in this growth. In 2017 and 2018, many considered these applications to be clunky, as transaction fees were high and the user experience was slow and confusing.
But with the introduction of uniswap and other decentralised exchanges, the situation began to change. At several points last summer, the volume and liquidity of decentralised exchanges exceeded the volume and liquidity of top exchanges such as Coinbase.
However, this growth may not yet be over. Top analysts in the industry expect the Ethereum indices to continue to rise in the coming weeks and years.
This should lead to a rally in the entire DeFi area and probably also at ETH itself, which will benefit from this influx of interest in decentralised processing.
Decentralised stock exchanges will grow even stronger according to analysts
Crypto-asset analyst Qiao Wang believes that two fundamental trends will boost decentralised stock markets in the coming months and next year.
First, after months and years of development, Ethereum's Layer 1 and 2 solutions will be used. It is expected that Optimistic Ethereum will be introduced, enabling DeFi transactions on a more private, cheaper and more efficient second layer.
Other companies such as Starkware and Matter Labs are also working on promising scaling solutions that should lead to a better user experience.
The second reason why Dexs could take off There have been a number of problems with centralised exchanges recently.
Bithumb was searched. KuCoin has been hacked. Recently, BitMEX was https://www.stemcellsummit.com/bitcoin-loophole/ accused by the US CFTC of derivatives and money laundering violations, while OKEx suddenly stopped withdrawals because a private key holder of the organisation went offline.
"It can hardly be stressed enough how important it is that 1) Ethereum L2s and scalable L1s go online and 2) what has happened to Kucoin/Bitmex/Okex in the last 2 weeks The timing couldn't be better for the decentralised futures/swap exchanges to finally take off in 2021".
Uniswap could take the lead in this new era of Dexs with the introduction of the third iteration of the protocol, "v3".
It is expected that the team behind the protocol will bring out a revised exchange that will significantly improve the user experience. The company recently announced that it had completed a $11 million Series A round in August under the leadership of "Andreessen Horowitz with additional investment from UPS, Paradigm, Version One, Variant, Parafi Capital, SV Angel and A.Capital" for this upgrade.

After years of waiting, Shadow Scale is finally here! I adored Seraphina when I read it back in 2012, so my expectations were high. Before going into Shadow Scale, I actually reread Seraphina, because my memory is not the most reliable, and I didn't want anything to detract from my experience of the sequel. Because I did this, I can see just how much Shadow Scale improves on Seraphina in every aspect. Beautifully thought-out and written as Seraphina is, Shadow Scale takes everything to the next level.
One of the top things I love about this series, and there are many, is how unabashedly of-the-mind it is. The action scenes take place almost apologetically in the background. That might sound like a criticism, but I really don't mean it that way at all. Shadow Scale isn't about physical battles, even though it's set in the midst of a war, but about the mental ones. Seraphina has to use her intelligence to take on others, but also herself. She's a heroine who isn't particularly gifted physically, though her scales can block weapons, and she has some potentially untapped half-dragon abilities.
There will not be much of this.
This comparison's going to sound really odd, but Shadow Scale reminded me of Death Note. For those who are unfamiliar, Death Note is a manga (or an anime or a live action movie) that centers on the mental face off of two college age geniuses. Lots of people die in the series, but mostly they hardly matter. The series is all about the war of cleverness being waged, and the two know that whoever loses will die. While the battle isn't quite the same, Seraphina has to find a way to defeat Jannoula, who has great mental strength, with her own mind. This, friends, is a battle of wits, not of might.
Speaking of Jannoula, I love to hate her. So very much. Jannoula sort of came out of nowhere for me as a villain in the series, but I love that she became the enemy, rather than the rival dragons. I am all about powerful, manipulative lady villains, who have pasts and motivations. She manages to be thoroughly evil, but also a bit sympathetic, which is what makes a great villain. The fact that the drama isn't physical and in your face might make the book slow for some, but I adore stories like this and I had no desire to read any other books once I got about fifty pages into Shadow Scale.
I truly cannot get enough of how many powerful female characters there are in this fantasy world. Jannoula, obviously, is incredibly powerful mentally. Seraphina herself has a much less obvious power, but it is there. She's also incredibly talented with her music, able to make people feel with her. In Shadow Scale, Glisselda has to rule, while her grandmother lies in a sick bed, and she really steps up. In Seraphina, Glisselda was smart, but she was very young and did not seem ready for that much responsibility. In Shadow Scale, she proves that she has what it takes, helped by the support of her friends. There are others too, like Eskar, of the dragons. There are strong women in each society.
You're in the wrong book, girl.
The plot ran in really unexpected directions. I'm torn between thinking that it was somewhat anticlimactic and feeling that the unique way it wrapped up was perfection. Everything that happens very much fits within the kind of series that Seraphina is. It's very much an atypical plot resolution, but I think it works for how everything else goes. It fits. That said, I do have some questions, like View Spoiler » what exactly Pandowdy's going to do with Jannoula. « Hide Spoiler. I also love that the series ended on Seraphina's relationship with Orma, because, despite romance and friendships, Orma's the most important in Seraphina's life. Their relationship is so sweet and feelsy and gah. It's when the dragons, who disdain emotion, feel things that I become a ball of emotion.
Thanks to the folks at Random House, I have one giveaway copy for one of my readers in the US or Canada! Entry is simple. Just follow the directions in the Rafflecopter!
This book looks awesome and I would definitely join up with Seraphina. Thanks!
I would join up. my power would be music also.
And I would join up only if I could block out Jannoula. This noggin is a vault, thank you. But man, I have no idea what my power would be. Intuition like Okra would be fine, minus the indigestion.
I would join up, but I'm not sure what power I would want. It sounds like a great book. Thanks for having the giveaway.
If I were half-dragon, I would totally join up with Seraphina. I'm not sure what my power would be, I would like to think it would be related to reading.
I haven't really thought about being a saarantras. I think the idea of the human form of dragons is really interesting, but I was always more interested in Seraphina and the conflict of being not QUITE human, but also not fully a dragon.
What a fantastic review! I have been eagerly awaiting Shadow Scale – it's been a long 3 years! Think I'll need to do a reread or at least check out a recap before I dive in, so that I don't miss out on any of the details.
SO glad the the romance worked out. I thought Kiggs & Serephina were lovely together in the previous book. And the whole fantasy-dragon aspect really captured my imagination, so I'm looking forward to seeing how everything culminates in this book.
I would join up with seraphina, bc things are happening with her and there's bound to be excitement. My power would probably be music also.
I'm a librarian so I bet I would be a great organizer. Maybe I could lock Jannoula into a card catalog drawer. I love this series and have enjoyed reading about Goredd and Seraphina's world since I discovered Rachel Hartman's comic, Amy Unbounded.
I would gladly join the Seraphina but since I haven't read the book yet, I'm not really sure what powers do I want.
I would want my special power to be mind reading, and I would definitely join up with Seraphina!

How to upgrade to Windows 10 from...
Microsoft gave the first look at its Windows 10 operating system on Tuesday, a major release that will span all hardware from PCs to phones and try to address the ills that have dogged Windows 8.
The event in San Francisco was aimed mostly at enterprise customers, and Microsoft promised an OS that will be more intuitive for the millions of workers still on Windows 7 and older OSes. Here's a rundown of some of the key points we learned Tuesday about Windows 10.
Why Windows 10?
[ Got a spare hour? Take this online course and learn how to install and configure Windows 10 with the options you need. ]
The natural name would have been Windows 9, but Microsoft is eager to suggest a break with the past. "We're not building an incremental product," said Terry Myerson, head of Microsoft's Operating Systems Group.
Microsoft considered the name "Windows One," he said, to match products like OneNote and OneDrive and its "One Microsoft" business strategy. But he noted the name was snagged a long time ago, by a young Bill Gates.
Perhaps Microsoft didn't like the idea of being numerically one step behind Apple's OS X. (A reporter asked jokingly if subsequent versions will be named after big cats.)
Whatever the reason, Windows 10 it will be.
RELATED: Review: Microsoft Windows Defender comes up short
"When you see the product in its fullness, I think you'll agree it's an appropriate name for the breadth of the product family that's coming," Myerson said.
What car does it resemble?
Yup, Microsoft came up with a car analogy. It wants you to think of Windows 10 as a Tesla.
"Yesterday, they were driving a first-gen Prius, and when they got Windows 10 they didn't have to learn to drive something new, but it was as if we got them a Tesla," Myerson said.
What devices will it run on?
All of them. Microsoft demonstrated only the desktop version Tuesday, but Windows 10 will be for tablets, smartphones and embedded products, too.
"It will run on the broadest types of devices ever, from the smallest 'Internet of things' device to enterprise data centers worldwide," Myerson said. "Some of these devices have 4-inch screens, and some will have 80-inch screens. And some don't have any screen at all."
Is there a start menu?
There is, and it tries to combine the familiarity of Windows 7 with the modern interface of Windows 8. That means the menu is split: On the left, apps are displayed in the familiar Windows 7 style, while on the right are more colorful "live tiles" that open the modern, Windows 8-style apps. The start menu is customizable, so you can resize the tiles and move them around, and make the start menu tall and thin or long and flat.
Will I still toggle between two distinct app environments?
Apparently not. In Windows 8, when you launch a modern-style app, it takes you into that modern UI, and when you launch a Win32-style app, it launches to the traditional desktop environment.
In Windows 10, "we don't want that duality," said Joe Belfiore, a corporate vice president with the OS group. "We want users on PCs with mice and keyboards to have their familiar desktop UI—a task bar and a start menu. And regardless of how an app was written or distributed to your machine, it works the way you expect."
So how does it look now?
If you launched one of the new-style apps in Windows 8, it filled the whole screen and there weren't many options to resize it. With Windows 10, the familiar "windows" metaphor is back; you'll be able to resize the new-style apps and drag them around the screen like an old Win32 app. Conversely, if you're using an older Win32-style app, it will be able to "snap into place" and fill all the available screen space just like the modern apps.
What else is new?
Some users have been confused by the Windows 8 interface and can't figure out what's open on their screen or how to get back to an app. Windows 10 has a feature like OS X's Mission Control that lets you zoom out and see everything that's open on a PC, then select any app to enter it.
You can also have multiple desktop configurations open and switch between them. So if you have two apps on the screen for a particular task, sized just how you want them, and then you change to some other apps, you'll be able to get back to those first apps easily without having to resize them again. You can navigate through several of these desktop displays at the bottom of the screen.
What's in it for business customers?
Today's event was focused primarily on business users; Microsoft will talk about the consumer aspects of Windows 10 early next year. There weren't a lot of specifics but here are a few points:
— Microsoft promises that Windows 10 will be more intuitive than Windows 8. "Windows 10 will be familiar to end users whether they're coming from Windows 7 or Windows 8. The workers will be immediately productive," Belfiore said.
— It will be compatible with "all traditional management systems in use today." Customers are increasingly using "mobile device management" tools to manage phones and tablets. "Windows phones and tablets support MDM today, but with Windows 10, customers will be able to use MDM to manage all their Windows devices" including PCs, laptops and even Internet of things devices.
— Developers will get "one application platform," Belfiore promised. "Whether it's building a game or a line-of-business application, there will be one way to write a universal application that targets the entire product family," he said.
Will it still be touch-enabled?
Yes. "We're not giving up on touch," Belfiore said. That means you'll still be able to use touch to do things like scroll and pinch-to-zoom on laptops and desktops.
There's also a new feature, tentatively called "continuum," for people using two-in-one PCs. When you detach the keyboard from a Windows 10 hybrid, it will ask if you want to go into tablet mode. If you say yes, the UI changes to better match a tablet. The app expands to full screen, for instance, and the start menu switches into a larger-icon mode.
Is there a Command Prompt?
You're kidding, right? Well, actually there is. Microsoft showed how it now supports shortcuts like CTRL+C and CTRL+V so you can paste in a directory listing from another app, for instance. Belfiore called it a "niche, geeky feature" but said he wanted to show the diverse range of users the OS is trying to support.
When will it be released?
The OS will launch around the middle of next year, after Microsoft's Build conference. Before that, a select group of "Windows insiders" will receive a "technical preview build" for laptops and desktops on Wednesday this week, followed "soon after" by a preview for servers. Previews of other device categories will follow later.
How will it be priced?
Microsoft isn't saying anything about prices yet, or any incentive programs to get people to upgrade from older OSes.

Chief Justice mum on judge's questioned suspension
Santo Domingo.- Supreme Court chief justice, Mariano Germán on Thurs. refused to reveal the details relative to the suspension of the 2nd Instruction Court judge, Patricia Padilla.
"Those decisions are made by the Judicial Power Council, and I, as President of the Supreme Courte of Justice, have no authority to speak about this," Germán told reporters after a symposium on the Penal System Reform.
It emerged that the Judicial Power Council had suspended Padilla after she ruled to release Mariano de Jesús de la Rosa (El Viejo) and Robinson Martinez, both linked to a ring that allegedly trafficked over 500 kilos of cocaine.
The detainees were released after the prosecutor left the proceedings and declined to file charges against the accused.

Wow, I can't believe I've gone this long without curating any Ernst Haeckel illustrations. Haeckel, a German biologist, illustrated one of the most celebrated works in scientific illustration, 'Art Forms in Nature.' This collection of 100+ plates was produced and published between 1899 and 1904 and helped mainstream the study of Darwinism and evolutionary biology in Europe. This is a popular public domain work, so there are several sources where you can view and download the book for free online.
Ernst Haeckel's illustrations didn't just disrupt the scientific community at the turn of the century. His work also had an impact on art circles, with many crediting Haeckel's work with inspiring the Art Nouveau movement in part. Taking cues from Ernst Haeckel's illustrations, Art Nouveau explored natural forms, botanical plants, symmetry, and geometry.
Ernst Haeckel's illustrations weren't the only works to have an impact on scientific illustration. Check out the work of the following scientific illustrators from the 19th century. Some names you may recognize, and some may surprise you!
I'm really stoked about this list. I'm going to check out these artists to get some ideas for future posts. Until next time, internet.
Oh, and before I forget; here's an octopus!

If you're an avid modder, programmer, or gamer, then the name Mahdi Pourzaferani needs no further elaboration. However, for the sake of educating the masses on one of the rising stars of the programming and entrepreneurial world, we're going to explore a few of his key achievements and qualities related to his venture FiveM Store L.L.C.

Legions of fans across multiple console generations have lived, laughed, and loved the intricate storytelling and wide-open sandbox that Rockstar Games managed to fit into one experience.
As with anything this engrained in the zeitgeist, the loving and dedicated mod community were quick to jump at the software and develop a huge range of mods and platforms using the tools available. One of the most successful iterations is the FiveM Modification project which allows multiplayer games on customized dedicated servers.

The fundamental characteristic of the FiveM modification project is a momentous level of detail and customisation that is applied to it. The project is powered by Cfx.re and boasts the ability to run independently of GTA V and without interfering with the original game files in any way.
The foundation of FiveM is undoubtedly the freedom it gives its players and modders in creating a world that is entirely their own, from elaborate character skins to in-depth gameplay modes that are designed to encourage a more enjoyable and interactive experience on the multiplayer servers.
The sheer popularity of FiveM itself has led to a slew of impressive servers and modifications that are all on offer thanks to Mahdi Pourzaferani and the FiveM Store he and his team run. The store houses an impressive array of FiveM scripts and mods that are simple to implement and infinitely enjoyable to explore and modify.
Mahdi is no stranger to the wonders of programming capability, his own experience in programming informed his journey to make FiveM what it is today. In particular, his time working at Rockstar Games as a design programmer helped a great deal in his realization of the true depth and potential that the GTA V software had for infinite variation and wild imagination.
The FiveM store serves as the one-stop-shop for gamers, modders, and programmers alike and is constantly updated with some pretty exciting new additions that are constantly being finetuned by Mahdi Pourzaferani and his eclectic team.
