"The Annual Coaching Corps Game Changer Awards is an extraordinary evening where professional athletes share their personal stories of how their coaches influenced their lives," said Wally Haas, founder and board chair, Coaching Corps. "At Coaching Corps, we believe all young people should have access to the lasting life lessons instilled by compassionate coaches. The generous support from our event sponsors ensures that we can reach as many children as possible."

"By raising awareness, the Game Changer Awards helps give kids access to mentors who we train to help kids build character and life skills through sports."
"We are honored to be a part of the Coaching Corps Game Changer Awards, an extraordinary event that celebrates the influence of coaches on the lives of young people," said Matt Murphy, senior vice president and general manager of NBC Sports Bay Area and NBC Sports California. "Playing sports under the guidance of these professionally trained coaches is not only fun for kids, it gives them the opportunity to learn skills that will serve throughout their lives. We hope this wonderful evening will inspire others to get involved with Coaching Corps, and we extend our great appreciation to the Bay Area sports teams who are participating in the Game Changer Awards."

This web page contains a brief excerpt from the International Creative Artists website, a quote from an industry expert, a quote from a top industry leader, a parent's complaint, an excerpt from the BBB record for ICA, and expert advice.
One parent wrote a complaint in which she said her daughter attended an ICA open call and was asked for money very quickly. After quickly giving ICA $400, she was then asked to give them $6,000.
The complainant also said her daughter was interested in modeling, not acting, and was under the impression she signed up for modeling classes, but she ended up in an acting class, and, because she was not interested in acting, left the class.
Helene Goldnadel, the president of International Creative Artists (ICA), was contacted about the complaint and she said the focus of ICA is acting, not modeling: "We are more acting than modeling oriented."
Consumers are therefore advised to make sure they understand ICA is for actors, not models. They may want to sit in as guests at one class before they commit to tens, hundreds, or thousands of dollars, to make sure it is exactly what they want, as they could at a college class, because once payment is made, apparently there are no refunds after a deadline.
The parent said ICA offered a refund within 10 days, but the first class started after the 10-day right to recission expired.
Ms. Goldnadel denied this, saying: "Classes do not start eleven days after people sign up. They start upon schedule availability."
Ms. Goldnadel was asked why she does not put the prices of her classes in advertising. She answered: "It would be impossible to discuss our prices in ads, or flyers, because we have different programs, and ad space is expensive."
There is no additional cost, however, to include the prices for classes on the ICA website, which is used for advertising. At the time of writing the prices for classes are not on their website.
UCLA Extension offers classes for acting in theatre, film, television, and voiceovers at a cost of $495 to $695 each.
California State University, Los Angeles and California State University Northridge have programs in theater arts. The cost is approximately $350 a semester.
They offer three classes for actors: Inside the Daytime Drama Audition Process: Getting the Job, a one-time class ($69), Voiceovers for Radio and Television, six classes ($199), and Animation Voiceovers, six classes ($169).
College of the Canyons offers a three-unit Acting Fundamentals class at $11 per unit.
Los Angeles City Community College, L.A. Valley Community College have programs in theatre arts. The cost is $11.00 a unit to a maximum of $50.00 a semester.
An audition is required in order to reserve a place in a class and requires a $50.00 Non-Refundable deposit that is applied to the cost of the class. Payments for the classes are due ten days prior to the first day of class and must be made through the Groundling Theatre office.
There are four different levels, beginning with a basic level, and finishing with advanced classes. Tuition: introductory class (no audition required) 6-weeks: $200, basic level 1: $395 for 12-weeks, level 2 intermediate: $395 for 12-weeks, level 3 writing lab: $475 for 12-weeks, and level 4 advanced: $600 including all classes, 2 dress rehearsals, and 2 produced shows.
The cost of classes ranges from $200 up to $320 per month for twice-weekly, ongoing classes.
The AIA (Actors in Action) is a networking/workshop company that offers workshops led by top, working casting directors, agents, and filmmakers, as well as support and networking opportunities. The cost of the four- to seven-week workshops, one class per week, range from $37-$40 per class, or $148 to $280 per workshop.
Ms. Goldnadel maintains ICA screens potential models for their modeling program. They do not accept everyone. The exact standards of the ICA model screening process, however, remain unclear.
"Our fashion course teaches the few people who do qualify, how to walk on the runway and handle themselves in front of a still camera. It also allows kids to become less shy. They learn about hair, makeup, nails, etc. A lot of parents are told their teenager does not qualify for fashion, but they have the kids take the course as part of a whole program."
The fair rate for modeling classes is nothing.
The person most qualified to speak on modeling schools or modeling classes is the president of a top modeling agency. Such a person knows exactly what is needed, if anything, to prepare a girl to be a model.
Helene Goldnadel stressed: "I do let people know during a presentation that modeling classes are not really needed to become a model."
It is not clear to everyone how "international" International Creative Artists is. One critic of ICA alleged the company name implies offices in different countries, but ICA apparently has only one office. Some modeling and talent companies use the word "international" in their company name to make them look bigger and more successful than they actually are.
The late Dott Burns, who was a veteran industry agent, once warned: "As in any business, there are greedy people and con artists who just want your money. Don't ever pay "up front" for an agent or a job. Never! And be cautious about people using the word "international."(Breaking Into Showbiz: Dott's Do's and Don'ts, Pageantry magazine, Winter 1998).
ICA is upfront by stating on their website home page they work directly with agents in New York, France, London, and Milan, although they don't provide the names of the agents. They don't say they have offices in France, England, and Italy.
One complainant contends that after paying $600.00 for a photo shoot, the company failed to deliver the photos.
Another complainant paid a $300 deposit for photos; however, no photographs were ever taken, no refund was issued, and the customer experienced difficulty contacting the owner about these issues.
A third complainant alleges that the ad in the newspaper led him to believe the company was an agency. However, when the customer arrived for the appointment, he discovered that the company was offering a seminar for classes which require a starting fee of $1,000.
The BBB file for ICA, as noted above, said ICA is involved in professional photography.
Ms. Goldnadel countered: "We do not offer the service of zed cards and I explain to people that most do not need a zed card."
Nina Blanchard of the Nina Blanchard Agency has previously advised: "Do not get a portfolio before getting an agent."
Other agents at leading agencies have said the same thing. They want snapshots before they decide to represent anyone.
One of Helene Goldnadel's former students, Magdalena Zielinska, wrote to the site after seeing earlier comments by a parent: "This is a complaint against the person whose daughter dropped out of my school and is slandering it!"
Shortly thereafter, Helene Goldnadel herself sent an email in which she alleged the same thing.
Zielinska is heralded by Goldnadel as her five-star success story, having landed some work in popular TV programs. She praised ICA to the nth degree to the point where it appeared there might be more than simply a president-student relationship.
"I authorized ICA to advertise themself through me," says Magdalena Zielinska.
One insider maintains Zielinska is not simply a student; Zielinska and Goldnadel are like business partners.
Ms. Zielinska was asked: "Do you work for ICA? Have you previously worked for ICA? Have you ever been paid by ICA, directly or indirectly?"
Zielinska responded: "I am an ICA student. I have taken classes which I paid for."
A closer look at the ICA website, however, reveals Magdalena Zielinska co-wrote a book with Helene Goldnadel: What You Always Wanted To Know About Acting & Modeling... But Never Got the Right Answers by Helene Goldnadel & Magdalena Zielinska.
Where you say: "Posting prices on a site is free"
of our courses considerably. In addition, our students are able at no additional charge to come in and run lines on a one on one basis with myself and/or one of our coaches, before going to the first audition (casting), and the final auditions, (going to producers).
This service would cost them elsewhere $25, to $50, up to $100 a visit. This private coaching is available to our clients at no additional charge, whether they signed up for one inexpensive course or for all the courses. So the posting of our price list would be inaccurate."
Where you say: "The fair price for acting classes is $25 a class"
"You definitely get what you pay for. If you pay very little for a course, you may not get additional support beyond general acting studies. Individual coaching per audition may not be included in that price. This site should write about Juilliard, or NYU, because they charge $200,000 for four years and more, and not every one with such credentials on their resume gets work. ICA students on our VIP programs, taking unlimited amount of classes pay less than $25 a class."
Where you say: "The fair price for modeling classes is nothing"
"Our fashion course goes beyond fashion in terms of self-affirmation, developing the ability to use ones sensitivity towards zxpression (so one has the sensitivity as a tool verses, the sensitivity having them). And also nutrition, proper dieting, hair, nails, make-up etc... Finally our fashion course is always offered as part of a bigger program."
"When Ms Zielinska found out that I was writing a book about modeling, she asked to write a couple of chapters from the point of view of a model, and I thought it was the right thing to do to give her some credits on the book for that. I met Ms Zielinska in New York, when I was an agent, and helped her get work in the industry, she later on moved to LA and she joined ICA.
This is a business of referrals, and favors, people that work together become friends along the line, and then partner up on other aspects of the industry. For instance, Ms Zielinska has a role on my pilot. She is a fully trained actor, why wouldn't she lend that part? Ms Zielinska is not a business partner of ICA, the simple way to check on that is by going to the corporate office and ask the name of the owner."

Pingxing Pass () is a mountain pass in the Shanxi Province of China.

There is a section of the Great Wall of China there.

The Battle of Pingxingguan was fought here between the National Revolutionary Army's 8th Route Army of the Republic of China (under Communist Party of China control) and the Imperial Japanese Army on September 25, 1937.

A  long railway tunnel was opened through the pass in 1971.

This is a stunning hand made copper Arts & Crafts lidded flagon or jug.
It dates to the late 19th century / early 20th century.
It is beautifully made and has fancy stylised foliate decoration and repousee work all around the base section, as photographed.
There are riveted details around the base, spout and rear seam.
The lid is not hinged, but is made as a separate piece.
Just love the space of that exaggerated spout!
It is certainly in the most lovely condition and a top quality artisan piece.
There are no maker's marks on the piece - but it is certainly made by a craftsman, but looks very like a Newlyn piece.
A good large size - height 12 inches.
It is in lovely condition with no disfiguring dents, dings or scratches - and has a beautiful shine to the copper.
A fair price for this fine antique pitcher.


While I was on maternity leave with my first son (nearly 13 years ago), I started binge-watching the Alias series, which kept me awake when I should have been sleeping.
This was my first introduction to Jennifer Garner and Bradley Cooper who both captivated me with their performances. With the action and suspense along with the never-ending hair & costume changes Jennifer Garner's character goes through in each episode, there was just something about this show that kept me wanting to watch, "just one more" episode before being able to turn off the TV.
It was also my first introduction to J.J. Abrams which says a lot about his work since I will now pretty much watch anything that has his name attached to it.


The role of predators in food webs extends beyond their ability to kill and consume prey. Such trait-mediated effects occur when signals of the predator influence the behaviour of other animals. Because all spiders are silk-producing carnivores, we hypothesized that silk alone would signal other arthropods and enhance non-lethal effects of spiders. We quantified the herbivory inflicted by two beetle species on green bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the presence of silkworm silk and spider silk along with no silk controls. Single leaflets were treated and enclosed with herbivores in the laboratory and field. Another set of leaflets were treated and left to experience natural herbivory in the field. Entire plants in the field were treated with silk and enclosed with herbivores or left exposed to herbivory. In all cases, the lowest levels of herbivory occurred with spider silk treatments and, in general, silkworm silk produced intermediate levels of leaf damage. These results suggest that silk may be a mechanism for the traitmediated impacts of spiders and that it might contribute to integrated pest management programmes. © 2012 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society.

I always tell myself that I am going to go back and read some of the books that I loved from my pre-high school days. I wondered if those books would still have the same feel to me now that they did back then. I remember my first read of Little Women and how emotional it made me, the second time around it did not have that same impact. In fact, I felt it a bit preachy.
That is a long way of saying that I have to re-read some of my childhood favorites. I am going to take it easy on myself with this one since I have some lofty reading goals for 2015 to make up for 2014.

Top 10 Female Scorpio Anime Characters
5:00 PM July 20, 2019
Adventure Anime, Shounen Anime, Sexy / Ecchi Anime, Shoujo Anime, Magical Girls / Mahou Shoujo Anime [Genres]
Sailor Moon, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai), Bungou Stray Dogs, Dragon Ball Z, Kaichou wa Maid-sama (Maid Sama!), Steins;Gate 0 (Zero), Rosario to Vampire (Rosario + Vampire), Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (Assassination Classroom), Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou (Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls), Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property) [Anime Title]
Zodiac / Astrological Signs,
CDJapan
Scorpio females are interesting in their own right. They are brave and passionate but can be exceedingly stubborn. These are loyal people who you will look to for guidance. A Scorpio will likely stand out in a room because they are very comfortable with who they are and will go to the ends of the earth for their friends and loved ones. On the flip side, people born under the Scorpio sign can be distrusting and secretive. They can even resort to violence as their first impulse of anger which can make them rather unsteady and temperamental individuals. Scorpios need to keep this in mind in order to control their worst impulses, and if they do then this is one of the most admirable and resourceful signs out there.
In this article we will be examining anime characters that are born under the zodiac sign which means birthdays between October 23rd and November 21st. We are able to analyze these characters because of their history and the amount of work that the creators not only put into the anime but into the characters themselves. Along with this, we are able to appreciate the characters more and delve more deeply into their development and personalities. Anime is an art form that is very unique and to fully appreciate it we bring you articles like this so that you can understand the complexity behind this entertaining and exciting art form that we all come together to enjoy.
Our Hottest Cosplay Ever!
10. Trista Meioh (Sailor Pluto) from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S (Sailor Moon S)
Air Date: March 1994 - February 1995
This brainy student is no ordinary civilian, her secret identity as Sailor Pluto extends her thinking far past her school work. Trista is an extremely loyal friend who will stop at nothing to save those she cares about. Throughout the anime Trista is the symbol of self-sacrifice and while it may appear excessive at some points, she overall deems it necessary for the safety of those she loves as well as the safety of the future. Trista is an admirable Scorpio but falls to the bottom of our list because of her lack of negative aspects that are unique to the Scorpio sign.
9. Subaru Saotome from Kaichou wa Maid-sama! (Maid Sama!)
Air Date: April 2010 - September 2010
Subaru is the ultimate employee; she chooses not to focus on gossip and rumors and doesn't participate in any of the drama at work. Subaru is serious and knows that her living is coming from Maid Latte so she must do whatever she can to make it succeed. Her independent personality is very reminiscent of her Scorpio sign and she proves to be a true friend when she is needed most. However, she does not exhibit any of the negative traits of the zodiac and chooses to stick to facts rather than becoming secretive and jealous. These traits put her towards the bottom of our list.
8. Hinano Kurahashi from Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (Assassination Classroom)
Air Date: January 2015 - June 2015
Hinano is very happy and almost giddy in everything that she does, whether it be school work or assassination she does it with a smile on her face. She seeks friendship from everyone in the class but is rather dim-witted and occasionally gets used for her good-naturedness. Hinano is extraordinarily resourceful which comes in handy for class 3-E and helps them on their road to destroying their beloved teacher. These traits put her on our list of Scorpios but do not earn her a high ranking.
7. Maho Hiyajo from Steins;Gate 0
Despite being an adult, Maho is often mistaken as a child. This misunderstanding causes her much anger and frustration which can often lead to her lashing out at those around her. She holds deep respect for her colleagues, and for Makise Kurisu in particular. As deeper feelings pop up between her and Okabe Rintaro, she looks to her friends for help. Maho is brave in her own right but is not the prime example of the Scorpio that we are looking for. However, this does not stop her from being an admirable character in our hearts.
6. Rio Futaba from Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai)
Air Date: October 2018 - December 2018
Rio is an incredibly intelligent girl enrolled at Minegahara High School. Her split image of herself made her actually split into two entirely different individuals as a result of the Adolescent Syndrome. She analyzed the symptoms of herself as well as those around her to come up with logical conclusions as to why it was happening. Rio is resourceful and stubborn when it comes to her science, true makings of a strong Scorpio. However, she fails to exhibit any of the more negative aspects and earned herself a spot in the middle of our list. Her innate feeling of always wanting to be right and staying true to her friends put her above others on our list.
5. Kyouka Izumi from Bungou Stray Dogs (Bungo Stray Dogs)
Air Date: April 2016 - June 2016
Kyoka's personality starts as flat and violent. As she is used strictly for a weapon she knows no kindness or humanity. Upon meeting Atsushi and being introduced to the real world, her personality begins to blossom. She is given purpose through the Armed Detective Company and is no longer left to regret her previous mistakes. Her past experience makes her brave and resourceful but because of her newfound personality, she can be distrusting and jealous of new people. These traits make her an ideal Scorpio character.
4. Mikako Satsukitane from Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property)
While Mikako may look innocent from the outside, she is anything but. As president of the student council and heiress of a Yakuza family, Mikako has a great deal of influence in all aspects of her life. She is incredibly intelligent and resourceful which makes her all the more dangerous. Her uncanny ability to be sneaky and secretive make her a perfect Scorpio that calls upon her darker traits to have the greatest amount of influence possible. These traits put her high on our list, but she is definitely no character to model yourself after.
3. Chi-Chi from Dragon Ball Z
Air Date: April 1989 - January 1996
As the princess of Fire Mountain, Chi-Chi was well on her way to being Goku's wife. Her personality is fierce and she has the violent tendencies that are often seen in Scorpios. While she is brave and passionate, she can become secretive and jealous easily due to her fiery personality. Chi-Chi is well-meaning, but her way of showing love can be a little rough towards her family and friends. Chi-Chi's fierce personality earns her a spot towards the top of our list and admiration for her and her family.
2. Kokoa Shuzen from Rosario to Vampire (Rosario + Vampire)
Air Date: January 2008 - March 2008
As the younger sister to Moka, Kokoa is always comparing herself to the rest of her family. She is volatile and violent because she secretly resents her sister and her split personality. The jealousy that she holds on to shines through in almost every scene and makes her distrusting and suspicious of every person who is friends with Moka. On the flip side, Kokoa is brave to the point of stupidity and extremely stubborn earning her a high spot on our list.
1. Miia from Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou (Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls)
Air Date: July 2015 - September 2015
As a representative in the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill, Miia is the first monster girl to be placed in Kurusu's household. She often does not know her own strength and causes unintentional harm to Kurusu despite her affection for him. Miia wants nothing more than to be married and in a romantic relationship with him and becomes easily angers and jealous when he shows attention to other girls. Despite this jealousy, she becomes somewhat of a mother figure to those in the house and a true friend to all who live with her. These traits are a perfect representation of a Scorpio and earn her a top spot on our list.
Scorpios are definitely characters that have potential. Their friendship and love is sought after by many that admire their tendency to be brave and passionate. However, if they do not balance their negative traits, their loved ones can be in trouble and they can potentially ruin their relationship. It is important for individuals born under all signs to know their weaknesses and balance them accordingly, this will make you the best version of yourself. The females listed here are not necessarily the best characters but the ones that represent their sign well. Their inability to balance their positive and negative traits puts them high on the list but we may be looking to the lower ones for inspiration and guidance.
We hope that you have enjoyed our list of the top 10 Scorpio females in anime. As always, if you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
I am an anime lover, travel addict and wanderlust seeker. If I am not watching anime or reading manga, you will probably find me in my garden, playing the piano or writing. I love video games, particularly Final Fantasy and am anxiously awaiting the next release (though it probably will not be for at least five years). I hope that you will take a look into my top 5 anime so you can learn more about me. I hope that my articles will enlighten you and help you grow in knowledge of the anime community!

Elina Svitolina v Gargbine Muguruza Live Streaming, Preview and Timings for WTA Dubai 2019
Wednesday, 20 February 2019, 4:15 am Chirag Dubey
The third round of the 2019 WTA Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships will feature two of the most talented players on the WTA circuit on the opposite end of the court. Garbine Muguruza and Elina Svitolina will lock horns on Wednesday evening at around 7 pm local time (3 pm BST).
Looking to watch (and bet) on the Elina Svitolina v Garbine Muguruza live streaming online? Go to Unibet > Tennis > Live Streaming here* .
[maxbutton id="5″ text="Watch (& Bet on) Svitolina v Muguruza Live" ]
Garbine Muguruza v Elina Svitolina Head to Head
The two ladies have met a total of seven times on the tour and it is Svitolina who presently leads by a slim margin of 4-3. Two of those four wins came in the second half of 2017, most notably in the semifinal of the Italian Open and quarterfinal of the Canadian Open.
Muguruza Hoping for a Resurgence
The Spaniard hasn't had the best of time on the tour over the course of the last year or so. She has been struggling with her form quite a bit and consequently, she now finds herself outside the top 10.
Muguruza, who last won the Monterrey Open last year, started this season in Sydney where she lost in the second round to Kiki Bertens. She followed that result with a fourth-round defeat in Melbourne and a shocking quarterfinal defeat in Hua Hin to Dayana Yastremska.
As for her run in Dubai so far, she started her campaign against Yastremska and managed to avenge that defeat in Hua Hin with a three-set victory. In the second round, she edged past Saisai Zheng in straight sets to set up the Svitolina clash.
Muguruza is a two-time Grand Slam champion, most notably winning the French Open and the Wimbledon in consecutive years, defeating Serena Williams and Venus Williams in the respective finals. She has the experience and the skill to win big here but her struggles with the form is something to be considered.
Svitolina Earns an Easy Win
The Ukranian has been seeded sixth for the tournament and consequently, she enjoyed a bye into the second round. In her opening campaign, she went up against Ons Jabeur and was on the path to victory before her Tunisian opponent retired from the match.
Svitolina is the two-time defending champion in Dubai and last year, she won the title after defeating Daria Kasatkina in the final. In fact, that was one of the four titles she won last season, with the other three being the WTA Brisbane, Italian Open, and the WTA Finals in Singapore.
The world No. 6 is heading into this fixture on the back of a semifinal run in Doha last week, where she lost to Simona Halep. She has been in a good form in recent weeks although, she can expect some resistance from Muguruza.
Svitolina v Muguruza Predictions & Tips
This game is too close to call and it can very well go either way. The two players are extremely competitive and will definitely push each other to the limit. A three-set affair wouldn't be surprising here.
You can watch & bet on Elina Svitolina v Garbine Muguruza on Wednesday, February 20 here . The match is scheduled to take place at 7:00 pm local time.

We heart oscillating tools. The variety of uses is incredible and we consider it a must-have power tool for any amateur to serious diy enthusiast.
Craftsman has introduced a line of cordless tools one of which, the Hammerhead auto-hammer, we really loved so we came into this review with high expectations.
The oscillating tool didn't disappoint as we found ourselves seeking projects around the house that would require the services of this tool.
Craftsman has long produced solid hand tools and their line of NEXTEC 12-volt cordless tools are just as solid. The rubbery grip will prevent it from slipping out of your hands and it seems to really soak up the vibration well so fatigue will be less of a factor.
This oscillating tool comes with 6 attachments all of which can perform various functions such as cutting, scraping, sanding, grinding, removing grout and more. The blades can also be attached at various angles which allows for the most customization and a better performing tool.
We don't hide our love for oscillating tools and the fact that this one is also energy-star rated is also a big plus. The carrying case is convenient but the zipper attachment is a bit awkward. We do wish it also came with a second battery for those marathon sessions when just one battery doesn't finish the job.
If you haven't found the joy of a multi-tool it will only set you back $99 so don't wait any longer.
Disclaimer: Sears Craftsman provided this tool for our review under no expectations or obligations. We reserve the right to return this tool to Sears Craftsman or offer it in a future Giveaway.

A former employee at United States-based crypto exchange Kraken is suing the firm for over $900,000, claiming the exchange failed to pay him for his work there. Bloomberg reported the news on April 7.
Jonathan Silverman — who reportedly joined the exchange in April 2017 to manage institutional sales and its trading desk in New York — claims he reached an oral agreement with exchange founder Jesse Powell to receive a $150,000 salary, as well as 10% commission of the trading desk's annual profit.
In his lawsuit filed in New York on April 4, Silverman reportedly claims the trading desk took in over $19 million in profits during three months in 2017, but that he received neither the commission nor the reportedly promised additional stock options.
Silverman's figure roughly aligns with similar failure-to-pay claims made in a separate lawsuit from one-time Kraken employee Robert Adler, who has alleged the New York trading desk made $19 million in profit between September 15, 2017 and the end of that year.
After leaving the firm, Silverman claims he reached an agreement with Kraken that would pay him $907,631 as a lump sum settlement. The platform has nonetheless refused to make the payment, his lawsuit alleges.
Bloomberg reports that Silverman was one of at least two allegedly employed at Kraken's New York trading office.
Bloomberg further cites a 2018 New York Attorney General report on crypto exchanges that included Kraken as one of the platforms alleged to be operating internal trading desks that buy and sell on their own market — alongside Bitfinex, bitFlyer and Poloniex.
Richard Johnson, an analyst at Greenwich Associates, called the alleged practice a "dirty little secret of the crypto exchange world," according to Bloomberg.
In fall 2018, the controversy over Kraken's alleged NY operations resurfaced, when the California- headquartered exchange chose not to respond to a voluntary information request from New York's Attorney General, and reiterated that it does not operate illegally in New York.

Fabián Bielinsky (3 February 1959 – 29 June 2006) was an Argentine film director.

Career
Fabián Bielinsky was born in Buenos Aires on February 3, 1959. Bielinsky started to make films early in life, while still a high school student in the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires. At thirteen years old, he made his first short film, based on the short story Continuity of the Parks by Julio Cortázar. After graduation from high school, Bielinsky started studying psychology, a career he pursued for a short time before dropping out in favor of enrolling in the Centro de Experimentacion y Realizacion Cinematografica (CERC, actually ENERC, INCAA's film school). He graduated in 1983 with a short film called La espera, based on a story by Jorge Luis Borges. The short also earned him a prize at the Huesca International Film Festival in Spain.

Bielinsky entered the film industry around 1983 as an assistant director, working under such filmmakers as Miguel Pérez, Carlos Soria and Eliseo Subiela. He also worked on a Mégane commercial that Wim Wenders was filming in Argentina. Beilinsky wrote the script for the 1998 film La sonámbula, recuerdos del futuro (released abroad as Sleepwalker), directed by Fernando Spiner.

Bielinsky directed his first film, Nine Queens () in 2000, a crime thriller about a scam involving forged stamps. The film was very successful both in Argentina and abroad, and earned seven Silver Condor awards, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. Bielinsky was offered by several Hollywood companies to remake the film in English, but he refused, as he didn't want his first two films to be the same. The American remake, Criminal, was produced by Steven Soderbergh and released in 2004.

Bielinsky directed his second film, The Aura, in 2005. Ricardo Darín, who played the lead in Nine Queens, also played the lead role in The Aura. While not as financially successful as Nine Queens, it received just as much critical praise. Critics noted how The Aura dropped many of the black comedy elements of Nine Queens in favor of a more atmospheric and cerebral noir. The film won Best Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay at the Silver Condor awards. The film was the Argentine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 78th Academy Awards.

In both of his films various characters mention "El Turco", a powerful underworld figure who is never shown on screen.

Personal life and legacy
Bielinsky was married and had one child. A month before Bielinsky was going to present The Aura at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, he died from a heart attack in his sleep in São Paulo, Brazil, while casting for an advertisement.

In 2011, he was posthumously awarded a Konex Award as one of the 5 best film directors of the decade in Argentina.
