The Ceremonies
Art pop/rock quartet The Ceremonies are composed of LA based brothers Matthew, Mark, and Michael Cook, along with cousin Kane Ritchotte. The Ceremonies' sound has been described as '80s New Wave nostalgia meets cutting-edge alternative rock, though they express a move toward the stylings of what they regard as classic pop. Inspired by their favorite poems, novels, philosophies, and songs, they called themselves "The Ceremonies," which they say are "communal gatherings where people come together to experience both the happiest and saddest of times— an event that ranges the entire spectrum of human emotion." The group has released one self titled EP, who's single release "Land of Gathering," was paired with a music video directed, designed and edited by the band themselves.
JAHKOY
Jahkoy terms his way of switching modes — from low-key contemporary R&B and rap to relatively energetic dance grooves — as "bipolar sound." The singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer from Toronto, Ontario gained some notice in 2014 when he released the sparse slow jam "Poison." The following year, he issued a club-oriented pair of tracks — "Still in Love" and "Hold Your Hand" — through his own Bipolar label. He signed with Def Jam Records in 2016 and dropped "Foreign Water".
U.K. indie quartet Sundara Karma emerged in 2014 with a bright, shimmering sound and great expectations. Though their name may be based in Hindu/Buddhist origin, the band arrived emitting pure waves of pop. They soon earned themselves a deal with RCA imprint Chess Club Records, and after a pair of well-received 2015 EPs, they completed work on their debut album, Youth Is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect. The Larry Hibbitt-produced LP was released in January 2017.
Mullally
With such a captivating voice, it seems quite clear that pop-soul singer Mullally is set to create waves in the music scene. He began his musical venture from the age of just 16. As a songwriter and performer, Mullally packs a soulful punch, utilizing range of modern production techniques and to underpin his sing-along pop vocal arrangements, painting vivid pictures in the minds of his listeners.
Fickle Friends
Fickle Friends are New Wave Indie Pop band from Brighton, UK. Their summery, youthful sound swiftly earned them a solid local fan base and soon launched them onto the summer festival circuit. With a series of demos and a quirky amateur music video under their belt, the team of Brits hit the studio to polish their recordings. There is a clear 80's pop influence and definite similarities to acts like Panama and New Navy, but front woman Natassja Shiner's spot-on pop vocals provide a uniqueness that is refreshing.
SAINt JHN
The Brooklyn artist formerly known as Carlos St. John has been working behind the scenes for the past few years, and returned with a new name, SAINt JHN, and a more polished, focused, and intense sound. He's always had the ability to write a gripping song, but his new material feels heavier and more powerful than anything he's put out yet. His first single, "Roses," is a creeping, melodic track that is as dark as it is catchy. "I didn't even write that song for myself," SAINt JHN explains. "I was actually hoping someone else would fvck with it. When I went back and listened, I realized it was too good to not put out."

Q: Is the coefficient of Uyx always the same as the coefficient of Uxy? Let's say i have the following partial differential equation and i want to find out the class of the PDE (hyperbolic, parabolic, elliptic):
$$
-2U_{xx} + U_{xy} + U_{yy} = 0
$$
Now, first i can extract visually the coefficients from the terms:
$$
coeff(U_{xx}) = -2 \\
coeff(U_{xy}) = 1 \\
coeff(U_{yy}) = 1
$$
I could calculate the determinant of the coefficient matrix to be able to classify the PDE but i need to know the coefficient of $U_{yx}$.
Since the term is not presented in the equation, i would assume that the coefficient of $coeff(U_{yx}) = 0$ but since $U_{xy} = U_{yx}, coeff(U_{xy}) = coeff(U_{yx})$.
So either we have this matrix, where $coeff(U_{yx}) = 0$
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
-2 & 1\\
0 & 1
\end{bmatrix}
$$
Or this matrix, where $coeff(U_{xy}) = coeff(U_{yx})$
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
-2 & 1/2\\
1/2 & 1
\end{bmatrix}
$$
What is the correct way to solve this problem?

What listeners say about The Monster Mash-Up
Good book awful narration
Stopped listening after 30 minutes - narrator has most annoying voice. I can't listen to any more. Shame, as I enjoyed reading them a while ago and thought would listen for my holiday - think this one will get deleted though as it really is terrible.
Elbee
Luckily I got 3 for 1 credit. Stories were just okay. Nothing new or special. And these characters "licked their lips" ad nauseam!
Good story but it's ruined by male characters
I don't normally write reviews, but I'm super annoyed! The male love interests are horrible people. They are verbally abusive, controlling and manipulative.
The first book was almost entirely about a codependent family and had very little to do with Big Foot or the murder that took place. But I figured out it was a spin off series and hoped it would get better.
It's such a shame because I like the storyline, the main character (Charlie) is interesting and I'm curious where it's going. But I struggled to get through book 1. I hoped book 2 would be better, which it was, but Jack's near constant abuse of Charlie completely ruins the series for me.
I'll be avoiding this author in the future. I have two other books of hers (another series I won't finish) and if I'd put together it was the same author, I wouldn't have bought this one.
Debbie Lacey
LOVE THIS COZY PARANORMAL SERIES
THIS IS A VERY LIGHT PARANORMAL READ WITH JUST THE RIGHT TOUCH OF MAGIC, ROMANCE, AND MYSTERY. THE BOOKS ARE LONG ENOUGH THAT I DON'T FEEL I AM WASTING MY CREDITS OR MONEY ON ONE OF THOSE 2 TO 4 HOUR TEASES. THE CHARACTERS MAKE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD SOMETIMES. I JUST BOUGHT BOOKS 4-5 AND LOOK FORWARD TO LISTENING.
honest hermit
Didn't actually expect to enjoy this series. Loved this one though. The premise is pretty neat, though do have to say that the MC is kinda annoying at times.
Blackeagle
Deceiving Title
I couldn't get passed the first story because it had nothing much to do with Bigfoot and all about people's secrets and love lives. I do not recommend this series.
Solid Read!
Great storyline, the characters were so relatable that I became invested in their choices (both good and bad!) The main character is aggravating, but she grows quite a bit throughout the cases. I look forward to more!
Cathy P
Great series
Great series, Great characters. Love the fun storyline as well. Highly recommend. Told from h POV. Worth the purchase. Summary covers what the books are about. Looking forward to next in series.
The Charlie Rhodes mystery series is pretty good but the dialogue is annoying sometimes. The constant debate about whether or not Charlie has a crush on Jack is annoying and immature. I also didn't like the way he talked to her and her constant apologies. The mystery however is intriguing. Although I skipped over annoying dialogue, I did enjoy each book.
Brandi M.
love this series
Amanda M Lee has yet again made a fantastic new series. characters, mystery, romance, and a lot of snark and laughter. Charlie is set to become one of my favorite heroines even though she is a self-proclaimed busy body. an excellent start to a series and in this case the narrator was excellent. Her overall tone and voice made the story fun and a really good listen.
Montzalee Wittmann
A fun and funny paranormal mystery!
I love this author and this series is great! It is funny, clever, great characters, funny, and has a touch of romance. Charlie is the main character and she has a paranormal gift or two which she keeps secret. This is ironic since she is on a team/job to search out paranormal activity when there is something unusual about a case. The team has such strange characters! 😁 The first case they check out a murder mystery with a possible Bigfoot. The second involved a chupacabra, and the last a missing person involving possible werewolves!
The narration made the stories pop! Great job!
Loved these books!

Virtual Spring
Duke Performances is excited to present our virtual season – The Show Must Go Online! High-quality, commissioned films featuring artists originally slated for in-person performances will premiere on Vimeo for ticket holders. Each film, shot following local safety protocols, is made in collaboration with an audio and video crew in each artist's home city.
General admission tickets are $10 per presentation and Duke Student tickets are available free of charge through the support of the Provost and the Vice Provost for the Arts at Duke University. Tickets go off sale at 8 PM ET on the day of the presentation. Ticket buyers will receive a unique Vimeo link to watch the presentation online from the Duke University Box Office before the listed start time. Films will be available for viewing for 72 hours.
Simone Dinnerstein is a brilliant thinker and collaborator who not only interprets work but reimagines and recontextualizes it through lush and gorgeous recitals that exhibit what The New Yorker has described as "lean, knowing, and unpretentious elegance."
Dinnerstein's fifth recital for Duke Performances will traverse three centuries of musical history, and the idea of movement across time. By playing four distinct works as a suite, she explores the structural underpinnings that unite them. Dinnerstein has described the final coda of Schumann's Arabeske, op. 18 as "sounding absolutely contemporary," and thus she moves from its final note to the first of Philip Glass's Mad Rush. Written in 1979 as a piece of indefinite length, Mad Rush honored the fourteenth Dalai Lama's visit to the United States, and its flexibility allows Dinnerstein to connect Schumann to Couperin. Along with her interpretive strength, Dinnerstein is a master curator, and her virtual program could only come from the connection-drawing mind that put forth a 2018 album composed of a diptych of Bach and Glass concertos.

Bach arr. Busoni: Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 639

Obama, McCain to meet Monday to talk cooperation
CHICAGO (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama will meet with his former rival, Republican Sen. John McCain, on Monday to talk about ways they can work together, an Obama spokeswoman said on Friday.

The meeting between the former competitors will take place in Chicago at Obama's transition headquarters two weeks after the Democratic senator won a decisive victory over McCain in the November 4 election.
It will be the first time the two have spoken since McCain called Obama to concede the election. McCain gave an emotional speech after the concession in which he promised to help his former rival address the country's many challenges.
"It's well known that they share an important belief that Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government, and will discuss ways to work together to make that a reality," said Obama's transition spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter.
She said the two men would be accompanied by McCain's close friend, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.
Another Obama spokeswoman said the Obama and McCain teams had been in touch "for a while" to work out a time for the men to meet.
"There are many issues they have in common," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
She cited climate change and ethics reform as two areas the men might work on cooperating.
McCain, a 72-year-old Arizona senator, last week urged all Americans, including his supporters, to rally behind Obama.
"It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment," McCain said on November 4 in his concession speech. "But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again," he told his supporters, shushing them occasionally when they booed his mentions of Obama.
McCain and Obama clashed over the Iraq war, taxes, trade and energy policy during the heated, five-month general election campaign.

Irish soda bread is workingman's food. Soda bread relies on sodium bicarbonate to leaven the bread instead of yeast, and in the mid-1800s, it was a revelation in Ireland. Although bread was, of course, nothing new, poor wheat quality meant the flour it produced did not rise well using yeast. The development of bicarbonate of soda solved the problem easily and, soon, quick bread using just flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk became a dinnertime staple.
Having more in common with biscuits than yeast bread, it requires no time to rise (unlike yeast bread) and is actually better if the kneading is kept to a minimum, meaning it can be made quickly and without fanfare. It is the perfect companion for Irish stew or enjoyed toasted and slathered with butter or jam.
The traditional variation we're making here, known as "Spotted Dog," goes great alongside corned beef and cabbage and perhaps a good Irish stout. Expanding on the original four ingredients, spotted dog adds egg and sugar, giving it a thicker crust, and caraway seeds and raisins for flavor.
This "Spotted Dog" variation of traditional Irish soda bread is quick and easy to make, requiring less than 10 minutes of work and 50 minutes to bake. Start by combining 3 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1 tablespoon caraway seeds in a large bowl.
Cut 4 tablespoons of butter into the bowl and use a pastry cutter or a fork to work into the flour until a coarse meal forms.
Form a well in the middle of the mix and pour in buttermilk and egg. For those accustomed to making biscuits, the process of making soda bread is very similar. DIY bonus tip: If you get this far and realize you don't have any buttermilk on hand (as I did), you can quickly make your own by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to a cup of milk and allowing it to rest 5 minutes.
Add raisins, stir and then work the mix with your hands to combine just until dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased cast iron skillet or cake pan. The dough should be sticky and a little shaggy, but will hold together.
Use a long serrated knife to cut a shallow X into the top of dough. Although some believe the cross has significance as a religious cross or to cast out the devil, the purpose is a little more practical. The X will allow the bread to rise and cook evenly.
Bake the bread in a 375 degree oven for 50 minutes until it is browned and sounds hollow when thumped. Once removed from oven, allow to rest 10 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting (any sooner and it may break.

The following is a statement by CBD-USA regarding the current situation around CBD: "CBD-USA understands as this bill is currently being debated in New Hampshire that the bill's intent has been, and continues to be, allow adults have access to CBD oil for the treatment of specific symptoms, like pain, seizures, and inflammation. However, CBD-USA is also aware of the concerns raised by law enforcement, including complaints about CBD products. We understand the law enforcement concerns, as CBD can be used to counteract the effects of THC and other drugs, either prescribed or illicit. Although CBD-USA has no doubt that CBD-oil should be available, as a prescription-only product, we are hopeful that New Hampshire's decision not to allow CBD oil in over-the-counter status will not lead to abuse or diversion by people who have been prescribed CBD medication. This bill would only allow access to CBD-oil from a licensed pharmacist and not to CBD users who are not using it for specific symptoms.

In same way that the treatment of a child with Buy clomiphene citrate nz diabetes allows doctor to keep a regular home visit, taking the bloodwork results in advance would save the doctor from having to enter another appointment see a patient when they've had the bloodwork taken. Advertisement There are a couple of pharmacy online in ireland problems with the concept automatic testing, however. If a person is already experiencing significant symptoms of a disease they're not feeling well that could be associated with the body's own autoimmunity (as explained in the example below), then being able to get those symptoms tested on the spot is helpful, but it's not a cure. And if person already has a good home test to detect diabetes before having the bloodwork done, then it would be really helpful to just have the bloodwork done instead.

But the government's stance has also drawn sharp reactions from big energy firms, such as SSE, which has warned against a rush to offshore wind farms. The government's failure to guarantee investors that it would provide financial backing for new offshore wind farms, to the dismay of big manufacturers, is seen as the latest in a series of incidents which government policy has exacerbated a crisis for British manufacturers and suppliers of finance. The government's response to International Energy Agency's warning that the UK would not meet its targets to reduce green house gas emissions until 2030 is viewed by leading energy experts and industry groups, such as the SMMT, a political move to give the impression that it is doing something towards emissions reduction. They say it is the latest example of government's failure to tackle tax avoidance. The latest example was a decision by the government to take an EU-wide appeal against the IEA claims about UK's ability to meet can you buy arthrotec over the counter emissions reduction targets the WTO's dispute resolution body in Geneva. The issue, known as "unacceptable burden" claim, concerns the government's refusal to guarantee full support of the energy companies for renewable projects. The government's response to threat was not made public, and SSE said in a statement last week: "SSE believes the [UK government's] position on financing renewable energy is ill-considered and misguided. SSE currently engaged in discussions on support of offshore wind farms across Europe. SSE is not in any mood to be party such a public dispute." Another unnamed big energy company, whose comments were also not made public, was scathing about the government's approach. "The UK refusal to stand firm in its determination to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on the back of a global agreement can only feed concerns that the government is putting short-term political goals before the long-term needs of hard-pressed industries and the country's long-term economic future. UK government is in denial about its own role in worsening the climate crisis – it is a government seeking to shift the blame for climate change away from itself for failing to meet climate targets," it said. SSE said it is willing to put in place the infrastructure to generate renewables and is also planning a renewable energy business in the UK. Other companies, such as Britain's leading offshore wind developer, Renewable UK, also were unhappy with the government's decision and have been seeking backing to construct such projects in the UK. An industry source said: "SSE may be the main energy company but it is a major contributor to the offshore wind industry as a whole and has the experience to make investments in the UK industry on time, budget and under budget." It added SSE would not be involved in any financing, sales or other aspects of offshore wind farms but it would have a "greatly active interest" in the UK industry. Other big energy groups with expertise in offshore wind – such as Vattenfall, EON, SBM Taurus, British Gas, Scottish Power, Hydro, Npower, OGC Renewables, and Scottish Energies – have all publicly voiced their concerns over the government's stance and called on the government to confirm they will provide financial support for offshore wind projects in the UK.

I wasn't the first one with a car, but I always had pocket change to participate to most extra-curricular activities. Read: booze after class on Friday. Yes, I also smoked. Pocket change was even sufficient to attend the odd concert, and I got to see The Cure, David Bowie, the Smashing Pumpkins and several more before I graduate secondary class1.
After school, I quickly joined the professional world first, then the nomadic life. Working has been a staple in my life and ever present. My parents are to blame thank for that as at young age they taught me to save and if I contributed to extra chores, household tasks they would reward me as well. That may have been via chipping in for that Midi-stereo tower I wanted or later when I eventually bought my first car, by chipping in again. I had summer jobs during school breaks too. The concept was simple: if I wanted something I had to save, if I worked additionally, they would fasttrack my access to it.
Party hard, work even harder is a pillar in life.
Once chosen the nomadic life, I have worked both in IT (online publishing and before that security) as well as in bars. Party even harder!
It — working — has allowed me to travel most loved corners of Europe, while working, and live in and work from multiple countries. I've lived an interesting life and money never was a real issue.
I had a lavish life and life style. Hard earned but enjoyed too. Sufficient to make most jealous. Never meant to, I had an ataraxic tendency since long, but sufficient to nevertheless.
Until not that long ago, when a private crisis struck me rather hard. The crisis was long and hard enough to wipe out all savings and pretty much reset life at the bottom of the ladder. Almost as I was left with still more than many have.
Thanks to crypto, slowly but surely I was able to rebuild and from zero life could be enjoyed again, rather quickly. In a different form but it was good nevertheless. All required was available, Maslow was satisfied, complete with reasonably fast internet as well.
But life didn't end at those hurdles. Little more than a year ago, without any savings available anymore, I was struck with a medical crisis. Resulting in being hospitalized, without insurance, for the better part of two weeks. It would subsequently take me another almost three months before I found a modicum of pace in life again and felt capable to perform at close to normal levels.
I was now living from month to month, pretty much hand to mouth. Additionally, I was forced to move but things were fine. I should have panicked but I didn't, I had started to find myself, or find a slightly different me.
The bull run had long subsided and the bears were waking up. Slowly but surely the crypto markets were hitting bottom and things started to hit crunch level, that especially after the medical expenses incurred last year. Yet, despite everything, I have managed to constantly still help people left and right, with the little I had and earned.
Of course, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition and when the last crash happened earlier this year I officially joined the brigade of people who don't only live hand to mouth but who struggle to make ends meet.
Yet, I became the richer person for it.
In last few years I have gradually downscaled. Usually I did this before crunch time, before needing to panic. Obviously, it has helped keep panic at bay.
Before my last move I had already moved to an area without much disposable income. Most people owned their house there, or at least the family would — leading to typical "extended family compounds" — and poverty wasn't visible in that area of Metro Manila. That isn't to say that there weren't people with bill arrears or debts. Hence why the extended family compounds more often than not.
I shared my reasonably fast internet connection throughout the compound I lived in. Often I also got few bottles of "Red Horse" for evenings together, hanging over drinks and generally enjoying life. In as far as people found true joy in life, most bogged down by a life imposed by advertising and peer pressure for luxury — always running away from the next bill.
And, of course, the compulsory dopamine addiction powered by small screen devices and social media.
When I moved last time, I moved to a local area most locals would prefer to avoid. A "poor" area. This area is not yet true poverty, but "wealth" is limited to very, very few families and it is safe to say that it is the entry to the world of the unbanked.
There are side alleys on any side street here. They are the entry to the world of "trike drivers". These people who work 12-14 hours per day and take home less than $2.
Family planning is an afterthought here. Aside from the still ridiculous influence of the Catholic Church2, most people here just can't afford contraceptives.
Fixed internet is an exception here. Cars are very few and not even every family has a 125cc bike. Less than half of the families here have TV, and when only free air channels. The actual side street I live in doesn't have fiber internet available and it looks like this year's plans of free internet across the city may also skip this side street3.
Ergo, most people here buy mobile data when funds allow. So do I, although working online, I keep topping up every time my data has been consumed. I now understand why many people don't update their apps, data is expensive.
After life kicked me royally hard in the balls in recent years, I am financially floored. Yet, I am the richer person for it.
One of the things I discovered, despite hardship is that the world which advertising — and money — impose upon us is NOT the world of happiness. It is the world of directed happiness, imposed happiness.
It is a glamorous illusion.
I always knew this, I never was really materialistic. How could I possibly have been as somebody traveling and/or regularly locating? Only what fits in my backpack truly matters4.
But the reality of living this current life has increased awareness. Increased awareness of what we all know but don't care about. Don't wish to know, remember, and definitely won't allow to bring us a healthy perspective.
Because it would be too bubble bursting.
All human beings seek the happy life, but many confuse the means – for example, wealth and status – with that life itself. This misguided focus on the means to a good life makes people get further from the happy life. The really worthwhile things are the virtuous activities that make up the happy life, not the external means that may seem to produce it.
Having nothing it is impossible to save. I spend more on mobile data every month, using two devices, than I would on fiber internet. Yet, funds are not available to pay the required connection fee and additional deposit for this so-called unsafe area.
I can not save from buying wholesale, benefitting "buy x get x" deals because funds don't necessarily stretch that far to allow pack deals. More so, I have no fridge either thus I can not store fresh food either.
Not that in this bear market a fridge is within the means of the possible, any low energy consumption fridge would equate to almost three months of rent.
The current harsh El Niño? Like millions other people I live through it without A/C. Which is actually a positive because it means I contribute less to climate change.
I am the richer person for it.
One of the first things which struck me upon arrival here was the amount of low level dealers the joy kids experienced when playing.
Kids aged two to fifteen constantly sit and play in the alleys. Sing together, throw hoops, basically they do what kids do.
None of them have a mobile device.
Kids here are not encumbered by technology. Kids have no need to be on Facebook nor are they angry at their parents because they can not play with their mates. Play FIFA 2019 with their mates I mean, of course. Their parents have no problem with the cost of the latest console, or latest game. Those are non-topics, non-issues here.
Poor people have different issues than you and I — than I had at least. They live from day to day. Birthdays are portmanteaus in life, they are main events year after year.
Unaffordable to most. Even if education is free, many families can not afford the expenses which come with it. Whether that be long commutes or even things as simple as pen and paper. Remember, they buy piece wise, not bulk.
Aside from the cost higher education would impose on them, that's a luxury which in their minds — uneducated themselves — would set them financially back as soon as the child is legally allowed to work. Work and bring money home, put food on the table and possibly finally repair that corrugated roof.
Yes, this is the world the Guardian generally refers to as where they live under corrugated roofs.
Doing the laundry here means to most sitting hours over a basin and scrubbing the laundry with a brush. Then it is hung out over old cables utility companies didn't remove. A different approach to a smart laundry system.
It has been years since I last drank a lovely siphon-brewed Sumyaki coffee or an Ethiopian brew. But poured up at the right temperature and ground thinly the local $4/kilo Barako is a nice brew. A very nice brew actually.
It has been months since I last had a copious and truly healthy meal. A usual, greasy meal with rice is $1 for me nowadays. I have enriched my food palette vastly though.
I am lucky and the place I live has running water, the family three doors down the street doesn't. The unit I occupy is as large as their "house", yet they are seven.
The experience of living here has brought a healthy perspective. A humbling perspective.
I don't care anymore for that $7 coffee. It leaves me cold. Just like the latest trendy brew from your preferred franchised store.
A treat for me is a nice "Buy 1 Take 1" cheeseburger at $2 nowadays. A birthday party for the family three doors down the street is four liter bottles of "Red Horse" for $6 in total.
The continuing bear market is hitting hard and has long stretched beyond crunch level5. I should probably join the chorus of the "Steem maximizers" and milk every possible trail. Get a free WordPress with SteemPress and maximize that Steem-UA level. Contribute to Utopian and share2steem. Obviously, crosspost everything to Whaleshares, Cent, Publish0x, Akasha, and whatnots. Not to forget hunt every day and also write to SteemSTEM. Maybe even publish twice a day shitdesigns quickly made in Canva.app.
But I wouldn't feel honorable doing such.
Maximizing my share from the pool for everyone never was my thing nor will it ever be. Call me stupid.
Nevertheless, I have dutifully accumulated considerable stakes of tokens and continue to do so. Mostly unlisted tokens, of course, because today we buy in to and contribute to a future with crypto.
Some day some of those tokens will be listed. Some may even achieve considerable value.
It will allow me to distribute to those currently still not connected. Those for whom crypto is merely a dream, an untangible buzzword. Let alone could they vie for one of those valuable dTube upvotes because data is expensive.
Distribute to those who currently have no running water in their house and shower outside, at a neighbor's further down the street.
This is the real life for billions of people. Those sardine boxes in towers of 40-50 floors high, measuring 50sqm with 2 bedrooms are not an aspiration. Nor inspiration.
Today my struggles are real, the belt is tight and I may yet have to downscale once again in the near future.
I have been lucky because I never was materialistic nor can advertising influence me6. Combined with daily exercise living poorly has learned me that we, most of us connected and contributing here, are rich. Maybe you just don't realise it.
My current situation isn't enraging or desperate, but humbling. It may be unfortunate but… I am the richer person for it.


The City is an area in London which covers one square mile ( 2.5 square kilometres ) and sometimes is called the Square Mile. It is the oldest part of London. It was established by the Romans in 43 AD, when they surrounded this mile with a wall and called it "Londinium". Now it is the British business center where many companies and banks are situated. Few people live in the City but about half a million people travel there each day to work. At night it is almost deserted.

Trafalgar Square is the natural center of London, where Pall Mall, the Strand and Charring Cross Road meet. The square was so named to commemorate Admiral Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Here you can see a very tall column built in of Nelson with a statue of him on the top. The pedestal of the column is decorated with panels representing his most familiar victories. These panels were made from the guns at these battles. Round the base of the column you can see four bronze lions and four fountains. into the fountains on New Year's Eve is a favourite sport for Londoners. The Square is also known the large number of pigeons which come here and many tourists them. Trafalgar Square is a popular meeting place for political and other demonstrations against this or that thing. On the other side of the Square there are the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.
Данная презентация имеет две цели: Изучение достопримечательностей Лондона; Подготовка учащихся к ЕГЭ (раздел: Use of English) Достижение первой цели осуществляется через следующие приемы работы с презентацией: показ достопримечательностей по карте Лондона; угадывание достопримечательностей по фотографиям (показ начинается по щелчку с нижнего фото, которое труднее угадать, потом – верхнее фото, потом - название и далее - текст.) после заполнения пропусков работу с текстом можно проводить разными методами, которыми владеет учитель ( перевод, вопросно-ответные упражнения, найти эквиваленты на русском и английском языках, доказать, согласиться-не согласиться.) после прокрутки «мышки» назад и исчезновения текста учащиеся могут пересказать его, выразить свое отношение и сравнить данную достопримечательность с другими в России и в мире. Достижение второй цели имеет следующие особенности: при последовательной работе с видами Лондона каждый слайд сначала направлен на отработку лексики, следующий - на отработку грамматики и каждый третий слайд проверяет знание синонимов, предлогов и фразовых глаголов.
При работе с лексическим слайдом учащемуся для заполнения пропуска следует ответить последовательно на три вопроса: какая часть речи пропущена? какое значение (утвердительное или отрицательное) слово имеет по контексту? какие суффиксы или префиксы подойдут к выделенному слову справа? По щелчку «мышки» в тексте появляется слово в нужной форме. При прокрутки назад и исчезновении выделенных слов справа учащимся можно дать задание угадать пропущенные в тексте слова. При работе с грамматическим слайдом учащимся следует прочитать текст целиком, чтобы понять последовательность времен и, возможно, найти прямую речь. Потом учащиеся заполняют пропуски, отвечая на следующие вопросы: какая грамматическая форма пропущена: глагол, инфинитив, причастие первое или второе? какое нужно грамматическое время и залог (активный –пассивный)? утвердительное или отрицательное значение имеют пропущенные слова? По щелчку «мышки» в тексте появляется слово в нужной форме. При прокрутки назад и исчезновении выделенных слов справа учащимся можно дать задание угадать пропущенные в тексте слова.
При работе со слайдом на отработку синонимов следует вначале обязательно прочитать текст целиком про себя, так как выбор синонимов зависит от контекста. Далее следует обратить внимание на окружение пропущенного слова справа и слева и, мысленно подставив разные предлоги и слова, посмотреть, сочетаются ли они между собой. По щелчку «мышки» в тексте появляется слово в нужной форме. При прокрутки назад и исчезновении выделенных слов справа учащимся можно дать задание угадать пропущенные в тексте слова. Данная тренировка помогает учащимся освоить формат ЕГЭ. При этом учащиеся всегда нацелены обращать внимание на предлоги, типичные для данного глагола. Учителям рекомендуется при работе с любым текстом предлагать учащимся подбирать синонимы, проводить трансформации предложений, подставляя глаголы в различные времена и наклонения. Для закрепления работы с экзаменационным материалом будет полезно рекомендовать учащимся дома приготовлять различные задания на отработку отдельных аспектов экзамена (лексика, грамматика, синонимы и предлоги) по образцу ЕГЭ.

Is the Constitution being Eroded ?
In order to determine whether the constitution is being eroded by our government, we need to examine the constitution, and find examples of where it is being protected or eroded. Depending on one's point of view. Periodically we will publish portions of it and make a determination as to what parts are slowly being chipped away.
The first Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
-The government under the establishment clause prohibits the government from instituting one religion. The government can not favor one religion over another, nor make a preference regarding non- religion over religion. It is to remain a neutral body with respect to religious institutions as well as non-religious institutions.
-American Law is pretty good at not favoring one religion over another, and although there are institutions that are trying to remove "god" from the country, America does not favor one religion over another. People are able to worship their creator as they see fit, and the government does not force people into one religion, or force them to deny a religion.
Free speech or Freedom of the Press
"The right to freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves without government interference or regulation."
-The government finds that a person can not be held liable for printed or verbal expression so long as it is truthful, or based on an honest opinion.
Some media figureheads have declared the President is violating the first Amendment when he refers to the press as "enemy of the people." However, the press has been caught propagating false information in the form of opinion, as well as deceiving the people on incorrect reporting, claiming they are facts.
One example as written by the the New York post: "An 11:00 a.m. Friday "Special Report" by correspondent Brian Ross quoted a source who said that, during the course of the presidential campaign, Trump had directed ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to "make contact with the Russians." This fake news story caused the Dow to drop more than 350 points. However, despite the story being untrue, as Flynn contacted the Russians after won the election, and directed him to make contact, ABC, took more than 7 hours to correct the story. The President, and many of his followers claim that CNN, writes deceptively biased information that can be misleading, receiving the title of "Fake News." According to All Source, "Many Left-leaning mainstream media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times, often use a more narrow, literal definition of "fake news" — referring to purely fictional, made-up information."
Recently, Joe Scarborough of MSNBC Morning Joe said to Trump supporters, "You are funding this white supremacist campaign," Adding another piece of inaccurate, misleading information to attempt to sway voters who enjoy living under the Trump administration from supporting him.
There are hundreds of examples of the press exhibiting this type of hyperbolic rhetoric, however President Trump, has not put members of the press under any type of scrutiny militarizing the government to take action against these actions. Instead, he makes reference to them by calling them "fake news, enemy of the people."
This is in direct opposition to the Obama administration, who put Fox News reporter James Rosen under surveillance as a probable "co-conspirator" in a criminal spying case after a report based on a State Department leak.
From the Guardian: "Instead of relying on the threat of a contempt charge to get journalists to divulge their sources, the Obama administration has used warrant less wiretapping and dragnet records seizures to identify who is talking to whom."
-Freedom of Speech and of the press has in the past been under attack. It remains to be seen if President Trump will weaponize the government as did the previous administrations to obtain the upper hand with respect to the media.
The right to assemble allows people to gather for peaceful and lawful purposes.
From the day of President Trumps inauguration, there have been several protests. In Washington, "six police officers were injured and 217 protesters arrested Friday after a morning of peaceful protests and coordinated disruptions of Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony gave way to ugly street clashes in downtown Washington." Some protests were peaceful, some not so.
Antifa, conducted several protests aimed at intimidating people from having a conversation about certain speakers such as Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, and Milo Yiannopoulos as Nazi's. Some of these events preceded acts of violence, such as the demonstration on the UC Berkeley. They destroyed property and in some incidents, set fires to protest. These protests are not covered under the First amendment. They were neither lawful nor peaceful.
Contrasting that to the Obama administration, that targeted members of political groups and used the IRS to political profile them. From the CATO Institute: "After seeing a rise in the number of applications for tax-exempt status, the IRS in 2010 compiled a "be on the lookout" ("BOLO") list to identify organizations engaged in political activities. The list included words such as "Tea Party," "Patriots," and "Israel"; subjects such as government spending, debt, or taxes; and activities such as criticizing the government, educating about the Constitution, or challenging Obamacare. The targeting continued through May 2013, with no consequences other than Lois Lerner, the chief of the exempt-organizations unit, being held in contempt of Congress—and then being allowed to peacefully retire despite erased records and other cover-ups."
-It is safe to say, that President Trump has not used his authority to target political groups as his predecessor. The question remains, will he?
As far as the First Amendment is concerned, other than the president expressing his distrust in media outlets, he has not violated the first Amendment.

Assessing Risk in M&A: Industry Disruption
Shelagh Donnelly
While your board doubtless has a number of pressing matters on its work plan and upcoming agendas, it may be informative to build in some time for the discussion of oversight of risks associated with mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
It would be unsurprising if individual directors already have M&A on the brain, as mergers and acquisitions have been making headlines of late. The progression of digital transformation and disruption creates additional needs and opportunities. This week saw the announcement of Open Text Corp.'s plans to acquire Carbonite Inc. Open Text is based in Waterloo, Canada, and operates in 40 countries. It provides on-premise and cloud services in the form of enterprise information management (EIM) software that can yield operational efficiencies through the digitization of supply chains and processes.
Carbonite is a Boston-based cybersecurity and data protection provider, with cloud-based subscription services including backup, disaster recovery and end-point security. Carbonite's focus on cyber resiliency and its announcement of third quarter financial results(with revenue of $125.6 million representing a 62% year-over-year increase) for the quarter ending September 30, 2019, contributed to its appeal. This acquisition, valued at $1.42 billion and anticipated to close within 90 days of its November 11 announcement, will mark Open Text's ninth cloud-focused acquisition.
Such acquisitions are not without risk. With M&A transactions representing compelling opportunities for scale and competitive advantage, boards increasingly need to be prepared to provide oversight associated with either acquiring a company or being the target of an acquisition. In the case of the Carbonite board, its Interim Chief Executive Officer and President/Executive Chairman Steve Munford noted the board's efforts to identify the best means of maximizing shareholder value on the heels of "expressions of interest from multiple parties."
Risk Management for M&A
The degree to which your directors, individually and collectively, are experienced in merger and acquisition (M&A) oversight may impact their decisions as to the extent of time and resources the board will want to dedicate to discussion of oversight responsibilities in mitigating risks while capitalizing on opportunities. For, although it's management's responsibility to develop and execute a company's M&A strategy, the board is responsible for independent oversight of prospective M&A transactions. That's appropriate, since any such transactions will impact shareholder value.
Consider, as a case in point, reports in late October 2019 of the $4.5 billion hit Altria Inc. incurred following its 2018 investment in Juul Labs Inc. Last year, the Marlboro maker invested $12.8 billion for a 35% stake in the San Francisco-headquartered startup and e-cigarette maker. In recent months, you'd be hard-pressed not to have noticed reports of e-cigarettes' popularity among teenagers, and regulatory bans and health concerns associated with teens and vaping.
There have been additional impacts, as talks of a merger between Altria and Philip Morris International Inc. came to an end in September 2019. The Globe and Mail has reported that, had these two tobacco companies reunited in a merger, it would have created "a company with a market value of more than $200 billion (162.9 billion pounds), representing the fourth-largest deal of all time, according to Refinitiv data."
Opportunities Through M&A Acquisition
Boards must be cognizant of a range of potential risks associated with M&A opportunities, several of which are geopolitical in nature. This time last year, EY reported that only 46% of Canadian executives planned to pursue M&A opportunities in the year ahead. In fact, and on the heels of record-breaking levels of such activity, EY's 2018 survey found that changes to trade and tariff policies were causing 19% of executives to reconsider potential acquisitions. In its 2019 Global Capital Confidence Barometer M&A Survey report, EY reiterated these challenges, along with changing economic policies.
Despite the challenges, opportunities and growth needs are such that EY sees the upward M&A trend continuing. Despite economic and regulatory policy changes, EY notedthat more than half of its respondents will be allocating between one-quarter and one-half of their investment capital to their "digital futures."
Whether or not your board perceives the prospect of a merger or acquisition in the near future, directors need to be prepared for the possibility. Oversight of a prospective M&A transaction represents a particularly significant test of a board's capabilities. In overseeing such transactions, the board must function in such a manner as to withstand scrutiny on the part of shareholders, regulatory bodies and additional parties.
As cited in the case of Open Text's acquisition of Carbonite, the board must scrutinize opportunities with shareholders' best interests front and center. Failure to do so, or if an M&A process or outcome is deemed flawed, may result in individual directors and the board being held accountable – legally, reputationally, or both.
M&A Due Diligence
Due diligence may not begin with the assessment of provincial/state, domestic and foreign legislation, licensing and regulations, but, as has been seen in the case of Juul, these represent critical considerations. Assessing risk may begin with a look at the other company, from the board and executive team to incorporation date and location, corporate divisions, subsidiaries and any joint-ventures and past reorganizations. Historical and projected financials, along with liabilities, banking and investment relationships, accounting and taxes will also form part of the due diligence process.
The board will want to understand the other company's market and products, as well as clients, employee relations, suppliers and competition. This is an incomplete list, as your due diligence checklist will also encompass cultural, environmental, inventory, legal, operational, public relations, real estate and other considerations.
There's a great deal at stake in the M&A arena, and shareholders aren't the only stakeholders. M&A outcomes also have the potential to impact employees, clients, creditors and suppliers, and the board needs to consider these interests as it weighs the risks associated with any such transaction.

HB 1706-FN - FISCAL NOTE
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Judicial Branch, Judicial Council, Department of Justice, Department of Corrections, and New Hampshire Association of Counties state this bill may increase state and county expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2013 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on local expenditures, or state, county, and local revenue.
The Judicial Branch states this bill will expand the crime of capital murder to include homicide committed during a robbery, homicide committed under circumstances that involve torture or serious physical abuse to the victim, and homicide of more than one person while committing or attempting to commit a criminal act. The Branch states the maximum penalty for these crimes under current law is first degree murder with this bill making them capital murder cases. Both first degree murder cases and capital murder cases are treated as complex felonies. The Branch states the average complex felony case costs $742.17 in FY 2013 and $765.31 in FY 2014 and each year thereafter. The Branch states that a capital murder case, though treated as an average complex felony case, is more expensive due to having more hearings because of more issues, the addition of a penalty phase to the trial, the need for increased security and the prospect of multiple appeals on the issues raised. The Branch is not able to determine the number of capital murder cases or cost of such cases to determine the fiscal impact of this bill.
The Judicial Council states this bill may result in an indeterminable increase in general fund expenditures. The Council states this bill will potentially expand the number of capital murder cases, typically the most costly cases in the criminal justice system. If the public defender does not have a conflict of interest and is able to represent the case, they would be paid a flat fee of $20,000. If an assigned counsel attorney must be used, the hourly rate of $60 with a fee cap of $20,000 for homicide cases will apply. The fee cap is readily increased by the Court. Finally, expenditures would increase if services other than counsel are requested and approved by the court during the defense of a case or during an appeal. The Council states the cost to defend a capital murder case can easily exceed $1 million, with the total costs associated with a capital murder case tried to conclusion, including other state agency costs, easily exceeding $3 million.
The Department of Justice states this bill will increase state expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2013 and each year thereafter. The Department states capital murder cases are more expensive to prosecute because of the potential death sentence. The Department cites two cases it has recently prosecuted where costs have exceeded $1.7 million for one case and $2.3 million for the other, not including the cost of appellate or post-conviction litigation. On average, there are 18 homicides per year. The Department states there were 5 homicides in 2009, 3 homicides in 2010 and 3 homicides in 2011 that would have likely been charged as capital murders.
The Department of Corrections states it is not able to determine the fiscal impact of this bill because it does not have sufficient detail to predict the number of individuals who would be subject to this legislation. The Department of Corrections states the average annual cost of incarcerating an individual in the general prison population for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 was $32,492. The cost to supervise an individual by the Department's division of field services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 was $659.
The New Hampshire Association of Counties states to the extent more individuals are charged, convicted, and sentenced to incarceration in a county correctional facility, the counties may have increased expenditures. The Association is unable to determine the number of individuals who might be charged, convicted or incarcerated as a result of this bill to determine an exact fiscal impact. The average annual cost to incarcerate an individual in a county correctional facility is approximately $35,000. There is no impact on county revenue.
