We can demote your tenancy if you do not keep to the conditions of your tenancy agreement.
A demoted tenancy is less secure than an assured or secure tenancy. We can demote your tenancy if don't keep to the terms of your tenancy agreement.
If you break the conditions of your tenancy or your visitors persistently behave in an anti-social way, we may apply to the court to demote your tenancy. A demoted tenancy is a less secure form of tenancy agreement as have fewer rights and less protection from eviction.
How will my tenancy change if it's demoted?
make improvements in your home.
How long does a demoted tenancy last?
we have started court action to evict the tenant during the 12 months.
the tenant dies and no one is entitled to take on the tenancy.
If there are no further problems during the 12 months, we will automatically give you a new assured tenancy. This applies even if you had a secure tenancy before your tenancy was demoted.
Can anyone succeed to my tenancy if I am a demoted tenant?
if you are the sole tenant, your tenancy passes (by a legal process called succession) to your husband, wife or civil partner (or person living with you as your spouse or civil partner); or to another member of your family, provided they have been living with you for at least one year.
If the succession goes ahead, a new tenancy isn't created and the old one continues. Only the name on the tenancy will change. The person taking over the tenancy takes on the rights and responsibilities of the previous tenant.
We can end a demoted tenancy much more easily than other tenancies. If anti-social behaviour persists, or you break any conditions of the demoted tenancy, we may take steps to evict you.
We can do this without proving a legal reason in court. We will first send you warning letters. If you go on breaking conditions, then as a last resort we will serve you a notice of seeking possession. Once the period of this notice has ended, we will apply to the court to evict you.
What can I do to make sure that I don't get evicted?
You need to keep to your tenancy conditions and any further conditions placed on you through your demotion order. If anti-social behaviour led to the demotion, you must make sure it stops. If you owe us any rent, you must pay this and make sure you pay your rent on time in the future.

Total Contract value:- £420,000.00.
Contractual Requirements
To install a Fire Alarm system to BS5839, Pt 1, Type L1.
To provide a fully integrated Sprinkler monitor panel and Fireman's Control panel, c/w all the necessary interfaces & monitors.
To install Fireman's telephone & Disabled refuge system.
Methodology Of The Fire Alarm and Detection System :-
The initial design requirement in relation to the fire alarm system was to identify how many sensors & devices were required to comply with the type L1 design brief. MECE had already established that the complex C & E would require a very powerful & reliable fire alarm network and to this end the Notifier ID3000 product had been selected. With over 2000 sensors & devices to control, it was agreed with the Consulting Engineers (Arup's) that we would install two number, eight loop fire alarm control panels. Each of these panels is capable of controlling 1,584 sensors and devices (99 sensors & 99 modules per loop).
A single fire alarm panel had already been selected for the FCC room (to control the Sprinkler & Fireman's panels) and an additional panel was installed in the basement area for the FM service providers. These two panels and thirteen repeater panels were all networked together via the extremely reliable Notifier ID2net network package to form one complete system.
The most complex issue of design related to the C & E for the fire damper control. Numerous meetings and discussions were held on and off site with the Electrical Contractor (SRW), the Consultants (Arups) and the BMS Contractor (DWEC) until we had all the information necessary to enable us to design the system and produce the drawings. A further meeting was then held to sign off the design to enable the fire alarm installation to commence. This included the layout and engraving of the sprinkler & fireman's panels.
Commissioning of the fire alarm system was carried out on a floor by floor basis (9 floors) including the full testing of the smoke dampers and the complex alert & evacuation signalling that was split into six zones across each floor.
A final 'Black Building' test was carried out across three days, where each individual line of cause & effect was tested, witnessed and signed off.
A unique aspect at UCLH was the protection of two Atrium areas that had to be protected by a water deluge system. The design team were obviously very keen to avoid any false alarms in these areas and to this end had specified the use of flame detectors. These were to be programmed on a 'double knock' basis to control the deluge system and also had to be 'influenced' by an optical beam detector, effectively providing a 'triple knock' system. MECE were very concerned that a even though the C & E was being controlled via three different sensors, the signal to the deluge system still only came from one single interface unit and if this was to fail for any reason, the deluge system could be activated. Following numerous meetings and after taking our advice, it was eventually agreed that the flame detectors would be controlled by their own standalone control panel and the beam detectors would be installed on the building fire alarm control panel. An interface was provided on each individual system and the signal for the deluge system is wired in series through the two interfaces. This provides the maximum possible security against the accidental activation of the deluge system.
A combined disabled refuge/fire telephone system is provided for the two main stairwells. The reliable Baldwin Boxall Omnicare system was selected for this purpose on the basis that the system is wired in a 'ring' format which provides the maximum possible security in the event of a cable fault i.e. a single cable fault will not result in the loss of any outstations.

Belgian Beers, No Monks Needed
Monkless Brewing founders Todd Clement (left) and Kirk Meckem thought Bend was missing a branch of the beer tree, so they are turning a garage into a brewery that will focus on Belgian-style beers. Photo by Branden Andersen
By Branden Andersen
There is something for just about every taste profile in Bend's beer scene. From the perfectly hoppy Boneyard to the classic Deschutes, all the way from Crux's experimentation to Ale Apothecary's funky creations, beer drinkers from every corner can find something within the city limits.
Except for Todd Clement and Kirk Meckem, founders of Monkless Belgian Ales, who thought Bend was missing one particular branch of the beer tree.
"If there ever were any Belgian-style beers, they were limited release," Meckem said. "We were trying to keep beer on our kegerator rather than buying a bunch of bottles."
Around 2006, Clement and Meckem met while living in Bend's west side Mt. Washington neighborhood. After discovering they both had a passion for Belgian-style brews, they started going in together on beers. Like many Bend-ites do, Clement and Meckem decided if they wanted to have Belgian beers all the time they would have to take matters into their own hands and start homebrewing.
The two friends didn't waste any time chasing their goal. Their first brew was an extract Belgian tripel, a style known for its copious amounts of malt flavor and alcohol.
"We knew what we wanted and we just decided to go for it," Clement said.
After that, Clement and Meckem did two more batches — a Belgian dubbel and tripel — before they decided to switch to all grain. And at that point, they say, it was only a matter of time before they started looking toward selling their beer commercially.
"Every time we had friends over trying our beer, they would tell us we had to start selling it," Meckem said. "You hear that enough times, and you start to seriously consider it."
The process started in 2011, when Clement and Meckem started taking the suggestions seriously. They turned Clement's former sub-garage into their future brewery, purchased a 1-barrel system, and started brewing while working through the maze of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau licenses and regulations. Clement, a former process chemist, worked to make sure that the beers they made on their smaller system translated to the 1-barrel system.
"Every batch we put through has come out better than the beers we made on a smaller scale," Clement said. "We're still working the kinks out, but we're really happy with the beer we're making now."
While Clement, now a software product manager, handles the quality control of the business; Meckem, a financial insurance representative, will take care of the sales and business building.
"We saw a need," Clement said. "From our perspective, we see the success of (Crux's Belgian-style ale) Double Cross as a data point that Bend wants Belgian beers."
"It's daunting," Meckem added. "But everyone tasting our beers says we have to sell it. I really think there's room for it."
The addition of Monkless Belgian Ales makes 27 breweries in Central Oregon, 19 of which are in Bend proper.
Monkless is looking take handle space at local businesses for their first beer, "Dubbel or Nothing," a 7% ABV drinkable Belgian dubbel. Meckem said the most consistent place to find their beer is on Humm Kombucha's taps, but they hope to expand.
Right now, Clement and Meckem are working on draft-only to keep from complicating the process. But don't count out bottles for their age-friendly styles.
"It's going to be one step at a time," Meckem said. "We've got to make sure we put one foot in front of the other, because we've got a lot of ground to cover. But we feel that we're putting out good, unique beer and Bend will respond to that."
Being in their garage, Monkless Belgian Ales' tasting room is not open to the public. For more information, refer to the brewery's Facebook page.


Earlier this day, I have received a call from an unknown number. It was too late when I noticed it so basically, I didn't get the call. While doing household chores, my auntie called me, saying that someone was looking for me. According to her, he has some package for me from Biocostech, Phils. I was a little confused because I haven't bought any item online to be delivered in our house. I told yah, I would have them delivered to my friend's postal address instead. Anyway, I told her I'd pick up the parcel later. When I checked my phone, the same number who did call me left me two text messages. He was asking for any landmark near our place because he can't find our house. Of course, there's no use replying as he already left the items in my auntie's house.
So yeah, I got the package and when I opened them, oh my gosh! It was the prizes from iWhite Korea's photo contest. I have no idea that I won! I had to check the Facebook if there's any mistake but there was it! My submitted photo was already posted on their Facebook page! Hahahaha! So I really did win! The July winner was me and it was posted last August 03 and I had no idea until today. Silly mee!
I had to carefully 'unbox' everything even though I am so thrilled to see what's inside, you know, that could be the best part. Hahaha! It's like unwrapping a gift for my birthday. Lol. Since there's a tag with the Aqua Moisturizer there, I expected that the loot comprises mostly (if not all) of the Aqua Moisturizing stuff in their Skin Whitening Vita line. When I opened it, I first saw the tube and I was like, "Woah! I never expect this package to contain a tube!"
I was really glad to receive these items since I am currently running out of my Aqua Moisturizer. At the same time, it bothers me that I had to choose where to empty the sachets since I have two tubes of them already. Hahah!
The parcel contains this cute tote bag which is perfect for outings and getaways maybe. Anyhow, the tagline naman is quite inspiring. Like c'mon girls, let's look into the bright side! Yey! Admittedly, this bag is a bonus but I am really after the iWhite Products hahah!
The loot contains five sachets of iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizing Cream in the cutest packaging ever! Read my review to know my experience about it! Really, I've got so much love for it! Not just it's fun to apply, but it does wonders for your skin as well! If I remember it correctly, a sachet retails for P22 only while the tube (50 ml) is for P179!
I'm glad that the package also has five sachets of the iWhite Korea Facial Cream. I've still got plenty of this since a little goes a long way. Hmm, I think I've got enough stock of this for a year or more! I also have a review for this. Just click the link above! A sachet of this retails for P20 only!
Yay! Congratulations, sissy! Like me, you'll enjoy iWhite Korea products more.

The Wall – Live in Berlin was a live concert performance by Roger Waters and numerous guest artists, of the Pink Floyd studio album The Wall, itself largely written by Waters during his time with the band. The show was held in Berlin on 21 July 1990, to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall eight months earlier. A live album of the concert was released 21 August 1990. A video of the concert was also commercially released.

History

The concert was staged on vacant terrain between Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate, a location that was part of the former "no man's land" of the Berlin Wall.

"I did an interview a couple of years ago for a guy called Redbeard…" Waters recalled. "He said, 'Would you ever perform The Wall again on stage?' And I said, 'No'… Indoors, it made no sense financially; it's too expensive. And, as it's partially an attack on the inherently greedy nature of stadium rock shows, it would be wrong to do it in stadiums… I said, 'Well, I might do it outdoors if they ever take the wall down in Berlin.'… The Memorial Fund was in a council meeting, and felt they needed some kind of an event to focus attention on it… So I agreed to have a meeting with Leonard Cheshire. And I was very impressed, and said I would do what I could, although I thought it was very unlikely that it would come off… Then, in November [1989], when the wall started coming down, we started negotiating."

The event was produced and cast by British impresario and producer Tony Hollingsworth. It was staged partly at Waters' expense. While he subsequently earned the money back from the sale of the CD and video releases of the album, the original plan was to donate all profits past his initial investment to the Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief, a UK charity founded by Leonard Cheshire. However, audio and video sales came in significantly under projections, and the trading arm of the charity (Operation Dinghy) incurred heavy losses. A few years later, the charity was wound up, and the audio and video sales rights from the concert performance returned to Waters.

The production was designed by Mark Fisher and Jonathan Park. The stage design featured a  and  wall. Most of the wall was built before the show and the rest was built progressively through the first part of the show. The wall was then knocked down at the end of the show.

Waters tried to get guests like Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen and Eric Clapton but they were either unavailable or turned it down. Rod Stewart, who was to sing "Young Lust", and Joe Cocker were confirmed but, when the planned concert date was put back, both were unavailable. "To sell the idea to TV, I had to get people to commit themselves and it very nearly killed me," Waters recalled. "The likes of Joni Mitchell and Bryan Adams were prepared to say 'Yes' from the start, but there were so many others who were just waiting to see who else was involved before they made up their minds."

In the 1989 interview with Redbeard, Waters stated, "I might even let Dave play guitar." On 30 June 1990 – during an interview before Pink Floyd's performance at Knebworth '90 – Gilmour responded to Roger's statement on an interview with Kurt Loder on MTV by saying that he "and the rest of Pink Floyd (Nick Mason and Rick Wright) had been given the legal go-ahead to perform with Roger but had not been contacted" and "he never asked us" (in a fake crying voice) with Nick Mason saying "if only that phone can ring". Two days later, on 2 July 1990 Waters appeared on the American rock radio call-in show Rockline and contradicted his Gilmour invite by saying, "I don't know where Dave got that idea".

In the end, Hollingsworth (with Waters assisting) brought in guest artists including Snowy White, Rick Danko, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of The Band, The Hooters, Van Morrison, Sinéad O'Connor, Cyndi Lauper, Marianne Faithfull, Scorpions, Joni Mitchell, Paul Carrack, Thomas Dolby and Bryan Adams, along with actors Albert Finney, Jerry Hall, Tim Curry and Ute Lemper. Leonard Cheshire opened the concert by blowing a World War I whistle.

This performance had several differences from Pink Floyd's original production of The Wall show. Both "Mother" and "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II" (like in the 1980/81 concerts) were extended with solos by various instruments and the latter had a cold ending. "In The Flesh" (also like the 1980/81 concerts) has an extended intro, and "Comfortably Numb" featured dueling solos by the two guitarists as well as an additional chorus at the end of the song. "The Show Must Go On" is omitted completely, while both "The Last Few Bricks" and "What Shall We Do Now?" are included ("The Last Few Bricks" was shortened). Also, the performance of the song "The Trial" had live actors playing the parts, with Thomas Dolby playing the part of the teacher hanging from the wall, Tim Curry as the prosecutor, and Albert Finney as the Judge. The repeated proclamation of "Tear down the wall!" and subsequent destruction of the on-stage wall was for this show accompanied by a projection of a section of the actual Berlin Wall on the cardboard bricks used on stage. The show officially ended with "The Tide Is Turning", a song from Waters' then-recent solo album Radio K.A.O.S. The Wall's original closing number, "Outside the Wall," was affixed to the end of "The Tide is Turning."

The Wall – Live in Berlin was released as a live recording of the concert, and the Laserdisc video in NTSC can still be found through second sourcing. A DVD was released in 2003 in the U.S. by Island/Mercury Records and internationally by Universal Music (Region-free).

Hollingsworth's company Tribute, a London-based "good causes" campaign company, sold worldwide television rights, with 52 countries showing the two-hour event. Twenty countries showed up to five repeats of the show and 65 countries broadcast a highlights show. There was also distribution of a double music CD and post-production VHS videotape by Polygram.

Performance notes
 The Wife's part of "The Trial" was reshot at London's Brixton Academy after the original sequence was deemed to be of insufficient quality due to camera shake. What is seen in the video issue is a close-up of Ute Lemper, shot against a dark background, lip-syncing to the original live sound.
 Shot on Potsdamer Platz, the no man's land between East and West Berlin, the producers didn't know if the area would be filled with mines. Before setting up, they did a sweep of the area and found a cache of munitions and a previously unknown SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler bunker.
The live Van Morrison version of "Comfortably Numb" is used in the Martin Scorsese film The Departed. It is later used in HBO's The Sopranos. Morrison also performed this version on his 2008 concerts.

IDLO Launches the Second Phase of the Program on the Child Protection
Ганчимэг.Б
b.ganchimeg@montsame.gov.mn
Ulaanbaatar, January 23 /MONTSAME/. The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) launched the 15-month "Child Protection Enhancement Project" (2023-2024) on the 19th of January 2023 in Ulaanbaatar. Funded by the Delegation of the European Union to Mongolia, the project aims to increase children's access to justice, enhance the child protection system and response mechanisms in Mongolia. The project builds on the success of IDLO's previous EU-funded child protection project, which run from January 2021 through June 2022.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the ability of the Legal Committees on Child Rights (LCCRs) to effectively function and address the rights of the children in contact with the law. Though the Government of Mongolia has made considerable efforts to strengthen the child protection framework and expand resources available to children through the onboarding of additional LCCRs and child protection officers, institutions require significant support to ensure these resources reach children in need.
Despite an influx of staff and resources, Mongolia's child protection system struggles to keep pace with reports of violence involving children. In the first quarter of 2022, over 16,000 calls to the 108-child helpline were recorded, of which, 2,192 were under active investigation by the AFCYD as of July 2022. Data from the National Police Agency similarly finds that only 46% of children in contact with the law received LCCR services in the first quarter of 2022.
The project will be implemented in close cooperation with the Authority for Family, Children, and Youth (AFCYD), Secretariat staff of the LCCRs, justice sector stakeholders, and civil society actors, who will receive direct support in building technical skills of LCCRs through effective mentorship, advanced training for its Secretariat staff, introducing a rehabilitation services toolkit, and raising awareness of online child protection issues among children and parents.
At the launch event, a Memorandum of Understanding establishing cooperation between the AFCYD and IDLO Mongolia was signed by Ulziikhutag Nachindagva, OIC, Head of AFCYD, and Stephen Kent, Country Manager for the IDLO. N. Munkhnasan, the Head of the Child Rights Department for the AFCYD presented on the current state of the child protection system in Mongolia, while Odontuya Norov, the Project Coordinator for the IDLO presented the objectives, outcomes, and expected results of the project.
EU Cooperation Section Team Leader Adrien Mourgues stated "I am pleased this project builds on the results of the first phase of the project and that the second phase of the child protection project continues to address the key challenges to enhance both the preventative and response mechanisms of the child protection system in Mongolia," at the launch of the project.
IDLO Country Manager Stephen Kent stated "IDLO is now able to continue its efforts by strengthening the capacity of the Secretariat staff of the Legal Committee for Child Rights, alongside a mentorship program led by senior child protection experts. We are also keenly aware that these results will be achieved thanks to strong partnerships with Government agencies like AFCYD, MOJHA, MLSP, MODD, and the local CSOs and NGOs. Therefore, it is even more important at this time to enhance child protection frameworks and strengthen them to respond to the needs of children," at the launch of the project.
OIC, Head of the AFCYD Ulziikhutag Nachindagva shared "According to the operational reports of 21 aimags and 9 districts of the Legal Committee for Child Rights (LCCRs) as of December 2022, 98% of the cases were handled successfully which is the result of the capacity-building training organized for the members of LCCRs as part of the first phase of the project," at the launch of the program.
The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) is the only intergovernmental organization exclusively devoted to promoting the rule of law. IDLO works to enable governments and empower people to reform laws and strengthen institutions to promote peace, justice, sustainable development, and economic opportunity. Its programs, research, and policy advocacy cover the spectrum of rule of law from peace and institution building to social development and economic recovery in countries emerging from conflict and striving toward democracy.

Binance Bitcoin SV Exchanges Features Markets News News
Konstantinos Stylianou is an assistant professor at the University of Leeds School of Law, and a visiting scientist at the Brown University Department of Computer Science.
Shortly after Bitcoin SV was delisted from Binance, CoinDesk advisor Michael Casey published an insightful op-ed discussing whether the delisting amounted to censorship (it doesn't), whether exchanges should be held to high standards of neutrality (they should) and whether regulation is necessary to achieve this result (it is).
The idea is that because major exchanges play such a crucial role in the industry (Casey claims that "[t]hey are the cryptocurrency industry) they should not be allowed to arbitrarily discriminate between crypto assets — rather they should be regulated to operate as neutral platforms.
But ask any regulation expert and they will tell you that, absent Goldilocks conditions (hold that thought), neutrality is neither the natural state of markets, nor the natural instinct of regulators.
If that's the case, regulation of the kind that would have saved Bitcoin SV and of the kind Casey advocates for – while possible – might not quite be around the corner.
Neutrality is rare and regulation even rarer
That neutrality is not the natural state of markets, we've known for a while.
It is hard to notice when there is an abundance of choice and people get what they want, but when there is too little of something, the owner of that bottleneck resource often becomes partial and does not treat everyone the same.
When the first telephone networks were rolled out, they suppressed devices and services from competitors and even arbitrarily refused call service. Microsoft saw Netscape as a threat and sabotaged it. Apple and AT&T similarly blocked Skype in the early days of the iPhone. There are countless other examples of platforms disfavoring complements or customers.
Were regulators called in to save the day in all these cases? They were indeed. Telephone networks were designated as common carriers, which came with the obligation to provide non-discriminatory service; Microsoft was forced by antitrust regulators to abandon the practices that squeezed Netscape out of the market; and Apple and AT&T dropped their restrictions against Skype after the Federal Communications Commission threatened them with net neutrality action.
It may seem that regulation came to the rescue whenever necessary to restore neutrality. But the truth is that despite occasional corrections, neutrality still remains the exception in the market and in regulatory action.
Part of the reason is that the law actually acknowledges that non-neutrality is not all that bad. The ability to deviate from uniform practice is what allows companies to differentiate themselves in the market. Not all grocery stores carry the same products, neither do they all place them in the exact same shelf, and this helps consumers and producers address diversified needs.
Even extreme differentiation, like exclusive agreements that make a business proposition unique in the market, can be good. For example, Nintendo's exclusive console agreements helped bootstrap an entire industry by tying popular games to Nintendo's consoles thereby increasing competition.
It is not that this kind of discriminatory practices have no downsides. Far from it. But it is also a standard assumption in modern market-driven economies is that regulation distorts markets too, and therefore, the enactment of rules requires proof that, left alone, the market would perform demonstrably worse.
In the mind of a regulator
To decide whether Binance, or any exchange for that matter, should be neutral and not discriminate against crypto assets (be it cryptocurrencies, crypto derivatives or other), regulators would consider a number of factors.
The most decisive factor to regulate is sustained monopoly power or dominance in the market.
Regulators usually impose neutrality on platforms because users and/or complements (read: cryptocurrencies) can't or realistically won't turn to alternative platforms, which would allow the dominant platform to exploit them.
If Binance were a monopoly exchange, then delisting a cryptocurrency would result in driving it out of the market. Or, if the cost of switching from Binance to another exchange was prohibitively high, then, similarly, Binance users and listed cryptocurrencies would be trapped by Binance's choices.
But neither of those conditions are true here. There are numerous exchanges on which Bitcoin SV can be traded, and signing up with Binance does not preclude users from trading on other exchanges too. In other words, both Bitcoin SV and users multi-home.
In that sense, Bitcoin SV is not in the same position as companies listed on NYSE or Nasdaq, because by and large, companies are listed on only one exchange, and delisting them would mean that they cease to be publicly traded.
Harm and market distortion
Regardless of power, would decisions such as Binance's delisting of Bitcoin SV undermine important public interest goals such as market stability and efficiency, consumer and investor protection, and capital formation?
Regulation is more likely if the problematic conduct threatens harm to public interest goals, is frequent, and has long-lasting effects without second-best alternatives being able to contain them.
At the moment, the picture is still fluid. For one thing, regulators still grapple with the question of whether crypto assets even form part of financial markets. If they do not, then there would be no legal basis to subject exchanges to financial regulation.
Assuming that they do, the frequency of the problematic conduct matters too. Crypto delisting is not unheard of but it is not exactly common either. There is no exact formula to calculate a threshold. In the case of network neutrality rules, fewer than five instances were enough to set the regulatory process in motion, whereas for privacy, numerous and repeated instances by tech giants have not resulted in regulation yet.
We also don't know the extent of the harm of delisting. When the trading of conventional securities is suspended, they effectively disappear from the market, perhaps permanently. On the other hand, despite Bitcoin SV's delisting from Binance, it still traded on another seven exchanges.
To be sure, Bitcoin SV's price suffered significantly upon the announcement of the delisting on April 15 (from $73 on April 14 to $55 on April 15), and the effects to its medium-long term liquidity and reputation are yet to be accounted for (likely bleak).
This, in turn, can have severe consequences for investors' financial situation.
But regulation is concerned with broad effects, not individual actors. The key lies less in the fate of Bitcoin SV specifically, and more in the effect of the practice of delisting in the overall stability of the market. It is a very different situation if delisting is regarded as a normal business practice whose risk is acceptably assumed by investors, and if delisting is regarded as serving no other purpose but to manipulate the market or to defraud investors. Only the latter could invite regulation.
Information inadequacies
The market can only work efficiently if all parties are sufficiently well informed to evaluate their options.
If investors had perfect information, then their reactions to Bitcoin SV's delisting would reflect their up-to-date assessment, and there would be no need for regulation to protect them from anything. Any price, reputation and liquidity fluctuations would correspond to investors' full and accurate beliefs and manipulation by Binance would be impossible.
This is clearly not the case here or in any other market. Perfect information is one of the most unrealistic assumptions of neoclassical economics in modern economies.
But the obvious solution to information inadequacies is more information and more transparency, not neutrality. The difference is that transparency enables actors to make a (presumably better) choice, whereas neutrality is a choice itself: it mandates a specific treatment (i.e. non-discrimination).
Regulators would normally want to start with the least onerous measure (transparency). If it is not effective, they can escalate to neutrality. If still ineffective, they may even dictate the rules of listing and delisting themselves.
Unequal bargaining power and anticompetitive conduct
The main idea behind non-regulated competitive markets is that actors behave well because market forces discipline them. If, however, the competitive forces exercised by competitors (other exchanges), complements (cryptoassets) or customers (investors) are weak, market players (exchanges) are unconstrained to act in ways that harm others.
Think about how much more difficult it would be for an exchange to delist Bitcoin with its much higher market capitalization, velocity and liquidity compared to Bitcoin SV.
Evidently, Bitcoin is more valuable to exchanges and therefore the constraints around how exchanges treat it are tighter. In reality, the majority of cryptocurrencies are nowhere near as important as Bitcoin, and the fact that they are not backed by unified institutional actors further diminishes their bargaining power.
Large investors could have a similar constraining effect, since exchanges would not want to lose investors who can generate large volumes.
For this to work it would mean that cryptocurrency ownership is concentrated in large investors (there is evidence in that direction, for example 42 percent of Bitcoin is owned by the top 0.01 of addresses), but also that these investors are actually active and that churn is high or at least plausible.
Politics, politics, politics
The factors listed above leave out one important aspect of regulation: the fact that, ultimately, it is a political game, not an academic exercise. If politics favor regulation then that's the most likely outcome regardless of how the factors listed above weigh in. We even have a fancy name for it: New Institutionalism.
As a function of the executive branch, regulation is subject to political pressure and revolves around interest groups. Nascent immature markets, such as that of cryptoassets, are usually captured by the interests of the existing regulatory authority and those of the public.
They are captured by the existing authority (in the US, this is the SEC) because they are already in the game and by extending their reach they justify their existence. Widened reach and heightened activity entitles them to more funding and higher rating. Just look at how everyone speaks of the European Commission as the global antitrust and privacy enforcer after having gone after Google and the like.
Nascent markets are also more likely to be regulated in the name of the public interest both because people are generally more vulnerable in new market contexts, and because industry interests have not developed lobbying capacity yet. This leaves the field clear to side with the public which is generally seen as the weaker side.
A few industry associations are already present in blockchain markets (EEA, PTDL, ISDA) but none seems to represent the collective interests of exchanges. On the contrary, regulatory interest and grassroots support for crypto assets seem stronger.
In the end, it is usually not a question of whether a market segment will be regulated or not; rather a question of how it will be regulated.

How the Doha model of groundwater recharge saved the livelihoods of farmers in Maharashtra.
There was a time when the farmers of Yavatmal district depended completely on rainfed agriculture. That was before the introduction of Doha, a water harvesting structure by NGO Dilasa Sansthan in 2014. Farming changed drastically after that, something which Sitaram Kove, a 40-year-old farmer of Rajini village in the district, will vouch for. Once a distressed farmer like many in Vidarbha and Marathwada, he is now content with the productivity of his six-acre-farm that has doubled since the introduction of Doha.

From Ahnenkult, here's an interesting picture illustrating the logic of the Australian humanitarian progressives now reviled as racists for the "Stolen Generations:"
Before the development of antibiotics, full-blooded Australian Aborigines were dying off at a rapid rate from tuberculosis and other Afro-Eurasian diseases. The half-white children of Aboriginal mothers tended to be more resistant to diseases, but they tended to be neglected and abused by their often alcoholic Aboriginal relatives. So, reasoned the social workers, why not raise them in white ways in boarding schools, allowing them to find a place in white society and marry whites? Because Aboriginal looks tend to be relatively recessive when mixed with European looks, as compared to Sub-Saharan African looks, within a couple of generations you get a kid who looks like a cross between Prince Charles and Bing Crosby, so their descendants would be largely indistinguishable from the general population. Problem solved. Of course, as we all know now, those reformers were The Worst People of All Time. And yet, antibiotics aside, sensitive 21st Century Australians are better at feeling superior to their ancestors than at actually solving the problems that their ancestors confronted. For example, when Australian director Philip Noyce made the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence a decade ago condemning Evil Old Social Workers by showing girls who run away from their boarding school to return to their Aboriginal mothers, his adolescent star ran away from the set and had to be rounded up. Then when filming was over, Noyce saw what a disaster her Aboriginal home life was, so he ... paid to put her in a boarding school.

Dealing With Rage During the Perimenopause Transition and Beyond
How to overcome mood changes and fight depression in perimenopause and menopause.
The rage hit Juliet Doherty like a train. At 48 years old, Doherty had been in perimenopause for two years, living with daily headaches, sore breasts and irregular periods. But it had been manageable.
"Naively, I believed that if that was all it was, I would be fine," Doherty said.
That suddenly changed when she began to experience anger unlike any she'd experienced before.
"Emotionally, I was a wreck," Doherty recalled. "My life spiraled out of control . . . It was like watching a car crash and you couldn't stop it."
She described her anger as "the rage": an intense burning in her stomach that didn't cease until it was released. She lashed out at family, friends — she even broke an electric fan. Afterward, she'd cry, frustrated from losing control.
Where does this anger come from?
Though menopause gets all the attention, it's even more common for women to experience mood changes during perimenopause — the transitional period before menopause that's marked by hormone fluctuation, inconsistent ovulation and irregular periods. (Some people will experience mood swings and increased risk of developing depression in the early postmenopausal period too.) Menopause isn't reached until a year after the last normal period, which occurs, on average, at the age of 51 in the U.S. Perimenopause, however, can last anywhere from four to 10 years, and begin as early as your 30s.
"Perimenopause is a time of vulnerability for women due to hormone fluctuation," Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, medical director of Midlife Health Center and a member of HealthyWomen's Women's Health Advisory Council, told HealthyWomen.
She explained that overwhelming rage, much like what Doherty experienced, may be related to the body's changes in estrogen levels — specifically estradiol –– in combination with stressors. During the course of perimenopause, estrogen continues to fluctuate, which also affects other hormones (like serotonin and oxytocin), and frequently leaves the body with either too many or too few hormones at any given time.
Mood swings, if they're experienced, are often triggered by the body's sensitivity to this fluctuation. But, because of the constant shift, Pinkerton explained, it's not uncommon for feelings of rage to last a week or two and then disappear as the body adjusts.
According to Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg, a professor of reproductive biology and psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University and a member of HealthyWomen's Women's Health Advisory Council, poor sleep can also be a factor in mood swings.
"[During perimenopause], the decrease in estrogen is the cause of an increase in hot flashes and night sweats, [which can disrupt sleep]," Kingsberg said, adding that the shift in hormones may actually disrupt sleep itself, even without hot flashes.
Risk of depression
"Twenty-six to 33% of women exhibit significant depressive symptoms during this hormonal flux," Pinkerton said.
For women, who are nearly twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression, depressive episodes are often linked to hormonal life events such as perimenopause (as well as post-pregnancy and puberty).
If left untreated, anger during this transition can increase one's risk of developing depression. Women with a history of pre-perimenopause depression or who've had a history of hormone-related mood changes, such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder, are at an even greater risk, Kingsberg explained.
Both doctors stressed that if you're overwhelmed with feelings of rage, or rage is affecting your relationships, it's important to seek help so that it doesn't lead to depression.
Taming the rage
There are a number of perimenopause treatments available. According to Kingsberg, mood changes are looked at from a biopsychosocial perspective — the interconnection of biology, psychology and socioenvironmental factors. Pharmacological options include hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and low-dose antidepressants.
"There is no data that says hormones will treat major depression," Kingsberg said, "But we certainly can use them for mild mood changes. We know that it can help."
Hormones and antidepressants can provide a dual function: shift neurotransmission to restore mood and help reduce hot flashes. But HRT isn't the only option, and it may not be the right option for everyone. (Kingsberg stressed the importance of talking to your OB-GYN for shared decision-making.)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another effective mode of addressing perimenopausal mood changes. This popular type of talk therapy, which provides tools to shift thought patterns away from the negative and back toward the neutral and positive, is often used for depression and can address irritability. According to Kingsberg, some CBT can help with insomnia and also reduce the intensity and frequency of hot flashes.
Because estradiol fluctuations make women more sensitive to stress, Pinkerton said, experiencing stressful life events during the perimenopausal transition heightens the risk of developing depression. Therefore, it's important that women assess current life stressors to identify triggers. CBT and other mindfulness tools such as meditation can help women have a less negative emotional reaction to stress, which can decrease the development of depression.
"Mindfulness and the ability to step back are really important," Pinkerton said.
Mediation, exercise and creative outlets are all useful activities to decrease stress and irritability. But most important — especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has greatly increased stressors — is that it's crucial for anyone going through perimenopause who's feeling especially overwhelmed (or experiencing other physical symptoms such difficulty sleeping, loss of sex drive or pain with intercourse) to reach out for help.
Doherty finally sought help after she climbed a ladder to yell at her neighbors for painting her fence.
"I realized I had lost control of my emotions, and I called my doctor," Doherty explained.
She was put on HRT and her mood instantly changed. Today, she feels more in control of her life and emotions. Her headaches and hot flashes have also stopped.
"I am usually a very controlled, level-headed person. This hit me like lightning –– it was so fast," Doherty said. "HRT has definitely helped control my symptoms. I don't want to feel like that again."

The great scientists who uncovered the origin of the Moon
Published: 15th April, 2020 at 00:00
Cracking the origins of our lunar companion wasn't a solo effort – these are the key scientists and astronomers who contributed to our understanding where the Moon came from.

The fifth child of Charles Darwin, George became a respected mathematician and astronomer in his own right. Although chiefly remembered today for his fission theory of the Moon's formation, he also did important work on the origins of tidal forces and the 'three body problem', describing the gravitational relationships of the Earth, Moon and Sun.

This US chemist made a name early in his career with the discovery and isolation of deuterium, the heavy isotope of hydrogen, and went on to play an important role in the development of the atom bomb. As well as promoting the capture hypothesis of lunar origins, he is famous for experiments with Stanley Miller that investigated the origins of life on Earth.
