There are two possible ways to provide help in МММ: through fiat (traditional) money and a cryptocurrency. We recommend using the second way, since it is faster, safer and the main thing - more profitable.
Lately the cryptocurrency market has been undergoing correction - the price of Bitcoin and a number of altcoins has fallen for a long time, in light of this, digital gold "opponents" started to predict its total collapse again. However, nowadays the market is gradually stabilizing, so don't rush to panic and sell your cryptocoins. The more so, the majority of experts are still certain in further Bitcoin progress.
As mass media report, CEO of Shopin Blockchain marketplace, Eran Eyal, is confident in the Bitcoin price growth up to $100,000 and higher. Whereas in his speech, Eyal calls Bitcoin a "means of hoarding", which implies that he considers it as a useful tool for long-term investment. The expert thinks that the main reason of the recent drop in cryptocurrency prices lies in the pressure exerted by South Korean and Chinese authorities.
The larger part of world trades falls on cryptocurrency markets of China and South Korea. So it is quite natural that those countries' policy restriction against digital money has a negative impact on the rate quotations. Conjectures and rumours scare inexperienced traders, as a result they eager to sell their cryptocurrency "stocks" - "leak" them, knocking down the price.
Nevertheless, Eyal don't doubt that, as earlier, Bitcoin will be able to resist all the attacks and will certainly survive - stabilize and continue to go up. We share the expert's opinion and as usual encourage you to participate in MMM using cryptocurrencies - they are the future!
Participate in MMM using cryptocurrencies, get high interest rates of the Provide Help sum and improve your well-being!

Federal Minister Peter Altmaier visits tunnel boring specialists
Herrenknecht AG welcomes Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier at its Schwanau plant. On Tuesday, company founder and Chairman of the Board of Management Dr.-Ing. E.h. Martin Herrenknecht familiarized the Minister with the company and the global project business. Foremost among the issues discussed were the energy transition and challenges faced by the company in the international market.
September 5, 2018 Schwanau, Germany On Tuesday, September 4, 2018, Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier visited Herrenknecht AG in Schwanau and learned about the company, the international project world and individual tunnel boring machines (TBMs) under construction. Challenges in the global market of the tunnelling industry were also discussed. During the subsequent company tour, Chairman of the Board of Management Dr.-Ing. E.h. Martin Herrenknecht introduced the innovative E-Power-Pipe® method, which allows cable protection pipes to be securely and quickly installed for the subsequent installation of high-voltage power lines.
Herrenknecht is the world leader in mechanized tunnelling technology. With E-Power-Pipe®, the company has developed a new method to quickly and securely install small-diameter cable protection pipes underground with drive lengths of over a kilometer – previously there was no technical solution for this combination of requirements. The trenchless technology can be precisely controlled and used with only small overburdens. It thus offers a ground-conserving alternative to the conventional open-cut method for high-voltage grid expansion. This reduces subsequent renaturation measures along the route of the underground power line and can thus contribute to greater acceptance by the population.
In the spring of 2017, together with Amprion GmbH, a leading transmission grid operator in Europe, and RWTH Aachen, Herrenknecht demonstrated the performance of E-Power-Pipe® with a successful pilot project in Borken (North Rhine-Westphalia). The development of the method was funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi research project IBoTec) and carried out by Herrenknecht in cooperation with Amprion GmbH and RWTH Aachen.
The family business from Schwanau benefits from the experience of more than 4,100 projects worldwide. In addition to reference projects for supply and disposal lines of all kinds (Utility Tunnelling), this includes challenging tunnel projects in Europe, such as the Follo Line railway tunnel, where four high-speed tunnel boring machines are working their way through the hardest Norwegian gneiss. Herrenknecht TBMs are also involved in the infrastructure expansion of the French capital, the Grand Paris Express, which will create more than 200 kilometers of new metro lines. The Brenner Base Tunnel is currently under construction to develop the world's longest underground railway connection. However, tunnel boring machines from the medium-sized family business are also underway in major tunnelling projects in Australia, the USA and China.
Peter Altmaier said during his visit: "Around the world, Herrenknecht AG's technical achievements are impressive. Time and again, the company manages to push the boundaries of what is feasible in tunnelling and also to develop innovative solutions in related business areas. As Federal Minister of Economic Affairs, I am committed to ensuring that in our country such successes remain possible in the future too."
Herrenknecht's know-how is in particular demand for projects with very sophisticated technological requirements. "Given the current isolationist tendencies of many countries and political uncertainties, the global situation is becoming increasingly complex. In China, for example, we have to compete with state-sponsored players in the industry," explains Dr.-Ing. E.h. Martin Herrenknecht with regard to the challenging market situation. "Thanks to our comprehensive technology and service portfolio and global presence, however, we are also well prepared for the future." The world's growing population, ongoing urbanization and increasing connectivity are creating constant high demand for infrastructure projects – including efficient metro and high-speed rail networks and transport systems as well as sewage, water, oil, gas and energy systems.

Indian edtech PhysicsWallah becomes unicorn with $100 million Series A funding
Manish Singh 8 months
An Indian edtech startup that has made deep inroads in smaller Indian cities and towns with its low-cost learning offerings is the latest to join the South Asian nation's fast-growing unicorn club.
PW, or PhysicsWallah, has raised $100 million in its Series A funding, the profitable startup said Tuesday. Westbridge and GSV Ventures financed the startup's maiden institutional round, which values the two-year-old firm at $1.1 billion (post-money).
Unlike its bigger rivals — Byju's and Unacademy — that levy a fee as high as tens of thousands of dollars for a course, PW charges students as low as $4 and according to a person familiar with the matter, has amassed tens of thousands of paying subscribers.
"The company has been profitable since inception with positive cash flows and reserves," said Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PW, in a statement. "Our revenue grew ninefold in the year 2021-2022 vis-a-vis 2020-2021. Our current run rate for FY 2023 is at $65 million," he added.
"Since its inception, we have focused on delivering high-quality education with affordability at the forefront, ensuring that learners from all walks of life can continue their higher education and boost their career trajectory without any hassles," he added.
The startup's success comes at a time when several established edtech players are struggling and have cut their workforces in recent weeks.
PW represent a broader shift in the Indian startup ecosystem. The urban India – or "India1," as venture capitalist Sajith Pai categorizes it, appears to have largely been tapped out with only few opportunities left. So it should come as little surprise that PW was one of the hottest deals that many VCs have been chasing for several quarters.
PW, which runs both online and offline classes, has gained wide popularity on YouTube, where it has amassed nearly 7 million subscribers. Its teachers — including Pandey — have a large and loyal fanbase on Google's platform where they publish free videos to show their admiration for PW and also sometimes amusingly mock other edtech platforms, who they allege are in the business for the "money."
"With the help of PW's comprehensive, interactive and engaging educational content in the form of lectures, videos and notes, 10,000+ students have cracked competitive exams like NEET and JEE in 2020 and 2021. The platform proudly boasts that at least one student in six medical and one in 10 engineering colleges in India are PW alumni," PW said.
The startup, which employs over 1,900 individuals including 500 teachers and over 200 associate professors who answer student queries, is working to launch educational content in nine vernacular languages, including Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Odia, Malayalam and Kannada. It also plans to deploy the fresh funds to open more physical learning centres.
"While many pundits say that the bloom is off the rose for Indian edtech, we at GSV Ventures believe the flowers are just beginning to bloom as extraordinary entrepreneurs are democratizing learning and skills delivery for the 90% of India still untouched by the edtech revolution," said Deborah Quazzo, managing partner at GSV Ventures, in a statement.
"One such company is PW (PhysicsWallah), which we are proud to be co-leading its first round of investment with WestBridge. Led by renowned YouTube STEM educator, Alakh Pandey and tech executive Prateek Maheshwari, the company is disrupting the test preparation market (today JEE and NEET) delivering low-cost solutions of the highest quality with extraordinary learning outcomes for over 6 million students and growing. GSV Ventures' mission is for ALL people to have equal access to the future and PW is delivering on that mission AT SCALE."

Consumers said a restore, which tends to solve most software issues, does not solve the problem.
Although Apple has responded to some complaints on its support Twitter page, the company has not yet commented on the issue.

During times when immigration is commonly seen as a threat to the US, it's important to keep reminding ourselves of the essential work immigrants have done and will continue to do in every aspect of our society.
Immigrants are inventors, doctors, builders, professors, parents and business owners. They are individuals that contribute to the betterment of our nation in ways that are not always appreciated.
To highlight the significant accomplishments of Latino and Hispanic immigrants in the Philadelphia area, AL DÍA News has launched the "I am an American Immigrant" campaign.
"I am an American Immigrant," which AL DÍA is undertaking in partnership with Cabrini University, is designed to recognize the relevant contributions that local immigrants make to the Philadelphia region.
Our readers have until February 1 to nominate immigrants who inspire them, who stand out in their communities. To make a nomination, click here.
After the nomination process is complete, a selection committee comprised of three influential local Hispanic leaders will choose 12 of these nominees to have their stories told in AL DÍA News.
The "I am an American Immigrant" campaign will close with an award ceremony on June 14, where four nominees will be recognized for their exceptional accomplishments.
The members of our selection committee have distinguished themselves as successful professionals, and they have each established deep connections within Philadelphia's immigrant communities.
- What characterizes an American immigrant?
- Why is it important to recognize them?
We compiled their answers in a promotional video for the campaign, which can be found on our website.
Abel Rodríguez is the director of the Center on Immigration at Cabrini University. He is the son of immigrants and the first person in his family to go to college.
Jennifer Rodríguez is president and CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, she came to the mainland to pursue higher education. She earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Boston University and a master's degree in city and regional planning from the University of Pennsylvania.
For Rodríguez, immigrants are a great asset to the US because they turn vacant properties into thriving businesses, revitalizing the depleted sectors of our communities.
Peter Gonzales is the president and CEO of the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians. Volunteer work and civic engagement have been constants throughout his career.
For Gonzales, immigrants bring to the US fresh perspectives.
Let us know today about an immigrant you think deserves recognition for the good that they bring to our region.

The main office entrance (in an office tower) was completely open; no entrance doors – just walk off the elevator and into their reception. Thus, no door to lock at night. There was no security in the office tower main-floor lobby.
The washroom was located off of the reception down a hall that lead to part of their corporate offices. There were no locks on any doors; anyone could access the private offices during a busy time in reception without being noticed.
The receptionist was changed out several times a day. All were well meaning and courteous, but they clearly did not have security in mind as I was able to walk about freely – including down to their 2nd level which contained meeting rooms and private offices. My credentials were nothing more than a confident walk and a smile.
The receptionist's computer screen was easily visible to anyone in the reception area. I was able to view worker's calendars and Emails coming into the company.
The meeting room had a door, but no lock. Several important documents were left unattended during break times, as were computers.
During breaks, I was left to roam about the 2nd floor offices by myself. Most private offices had doors left open. No one paid any attention to me.
Their corporate WiFi was visible on my Smartphone. I didn't try to login, but a simple password cracker could have probed for access.
All of this in a multi-million dollar corporation with 60 – 80 professionals as employees; this is not the local Ma-and-Pa accounting office. You would think they should know better. The measures required to correct some of the deficiencies I saw are simple; almost trivial. The change in the corporate mindset is not.
Most likely their corporate culture has grown from decades when information security was an after-thought. I think they have been lulled into a complacent information-security sleep. Unfortunately, the wake-up call will come when there is a serious breach of security in the form of a leak of sensitive client information. Then the Privacy Commissioner and their professional association will throw cold water in their face in the form of sanctions and fines. Their professional reputation will take a serious hit.
At Trinus – where we perform Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) Compliance and IT Security assessments – we see these types of deficiencies every day. Even our own policies, methods and procedures are under constant review as we raise the information-security awareness among our staff.
Privacy and information security is a new growth industry that has spawned from our complete adoption of technology that allows us to create, consume, and share data effortlessly and at will; it's ubiquitous. But our corporate and professional attitudes have not kept pace. We still think of it as something that will befall the other guy. It's time to wake up.
Please contact us or your Primary Tech if you would like more information on how to protect your organization by improving your corporate awareness of information security issues.

Push A Little Button
by Ninette
Album: not on an album (1966)
Get the Sheet Music License This Song
songfacts ®
"Push A Little Button" was a surprise hit for the British composer Tony Hatch in 2010, not least because he wrote it in 1966! It was recorded way back then by his fifteen year old sister Ninette, and sank without trace, in spite of its obvious novelty value.
Hatch himself said it was "originally intended as a gentle warning against accepting too much 'automation', not knowing where it might lead us all." The punchline comes at the very end of the song with the implication that when someone - perhaps the President of the United States - pushes the wrong button, we've all had our chips. Bearing in mind that 1966 was the height of the Cold War, it is perhaps a little surprising that it flopped. The previous year, Barry Mcguire made #3 in the UK chart and topped in the US with (the admittedly much darker) "Eve Of Destruction" on the same theme.
By 1966, Tony Hatch had already made a name for himself in Tin Pan Alley with such songs as "Downtown"; bigger and greater things were yet to come, so he had probably forgotten this little ditty, and the accompanying video (which he stressed does not feature his sister), when the wheel turned full circle, and the song, which was originally recorded for Pye, was released as a download by Universal Records, February 18, 2010, after it was used in a TV promotion. The following month, Hatch appeared on the BBC news programme Breakfast where he related the story behind it. >>

Is ASEAN a toothless tiger in the face of Ukraine crisis?
By Joanne Lin, Lead Researcher, Political-Security Affairs, ASEAN Studies Centre – ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute,
and William Choong, Senior Fellow, ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute; Managing Editor, Fulcrum
ASEAN says that it is 'deeply concerned' about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but it has stopped short of condemning Moscow. The statement by the grouping reflects varied perspectives among member states. But it is important for smaller states in ASEAN to uphold the aegis of international law, write Joanne Lin and William Choong.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, many countries in the international community, particularly the West, have condemned Russia's actions. In contrast, ASEAN's reaction looks relatively mild – and worrying.
Several countries are imposing severe sanctions on Russia including banning Russian banks from the SWIFT global payments system. They include the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Taiwan. It is unlikely that the sanctions will cause Russia to rethink its actions in Ukraine. That said, the sanctions will impact the Russian economy, and make it clear that its actions in Ukraine are unacceptable.
To the credit of Cambodia, the current ASEAN chair, the grouping issued its own statement on Saturday. The statement said that ASEAN is 'deeply concerned' about the 'evolving situation' and 'armed hostilities' in Ukraine. It called on 'all relevant parties to exercise maximum restraint'. It stressed the importance of key principles, as 'mutual respect for sovereignty', territorial integrity and 'equal rights' of all nations. However, ASEAN did not single out Russia or condemn its actions in Ukraine, given the clear violation of the aforesaid principles.
Given the serious nature of Russia's actions in Ukraine — and the consequent implications on international law and the global order — ASEAN's position is disappointing. For smaller ASEAN member states in the Indo-Pacific, which have become a duelling ground for China and the United States, it has become particularly important for the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity to be upheld. That said, ASEAN's response is understandable if one examines the varied responses by individual member states.
Reactions by individual ASEAN countries fall into three groups. Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei have condemned Russia's move. But the tenor of the language used varies. Singapore said it 'strongly condemns any unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country under any pretext'. Indonesia couched its language carefully without condemning Russia directly. It said Indonesia condemns any action that 'constitutes a violation of the territory and sovereignty of a country'. Brunei used a similar formulation.
The second group of ASEAN states — Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines — evinced less strident reactions. Vietnam, for example, referring to the United Nations Charter, emphasised the need for 'self-restraint' and 'dialogue', but it stopped short of condemning Russia's actions. Malaysia Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he hoped that 'the best possible peaceful settlement' to 'resolve the conflict' could eventuate. The Philippines said it was not for Manila to 'meddle' in what is happening in Ukraine.
In the last group, Myanmar's State Administration Council stood alone in supporting Russia's actions. This is not surprising given that Russia is one of the few supporters of the junta regime.
Singapore said it will impose export controls on items that can be used as weapons in Ukraine. It will also block Russian banks and financial transactions connected to Russia. But it is unlikely that any other ASEAN countries will effect any sanctions on Russia. This reflects their bilateral ties with Russia, as well the values and principles each member holds.
It should be noted that trade between ASEAN states and Russia stood at only US$13.5 billion in 2020. Russia is the ninth-largest trading partner of ASEAN, ahead of only New Zealand. Consequently, Russia is less of a priority to Southeast Asian countries. The Philippines' reaction echoes such a sentiment: that Southeast Asia is located far away from Europe and Manila has less reason to intervene in the Russia-Ukraine conflict (conversely, it can be argued that if a similar conflict occurred in its backyard, ASEAN's reaction would, theoretically at least, be stronger).
ASEAN countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand appear to be more concerned about evacuating their citizens out of Ukraine. Some ASEAN states may also rue the economic impact of the crisis, given the sanctions on Russia in place, the disruption to supply chains and the rise in fuel prices.
It also appears that national interests play an important role in the way individual ASEAN states have responded. For countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar, Russia is an important arms supplier. Vietnam, in particular, has a long-standing relationship with Russia going back to the Cold War. As such, it has been careful not to antagonise Moscow.
Still, Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a clear violation of international law and holds lessons for Southeast Asia. ASEAN's raison d'etre is to promote regional peace and stability through respect for justice and the rule of law. Furthermore, key principles such as respect for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the right of every state to maintain its existence free from external interference or coercion is enshrined in the ASEAN Charter, the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC), the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific and many other key ASEAN documents. Thus, any attempts that violate these principles will cut to the core of Southeast Asian security and prosperity.
Fundamentally, smaller ASEAN countries should not risk forgoing the protection provided by international law. President Putin justified the attack by saying that Ukraine 'never had a tradition of genuine statehood'. Such justification should sound alarm bells in Southeast Asia, considering that many ASEAN countries only gained independence less than a century ago. Imagine if China were to forcibly take over South China Sea islets occupied by disputant states such as Malaysia and Vietnam, and argue that they never had a valid claim to them. How would the other ASEAN states react?
The Ukraine crisis may be far away and the world is not expecting ASEAN's statement to have any impact on the crisis. However, the fundamental message that ASEAN appears to be conveying is that national interests of individual member states prevail over ASEAN's principles and values. Sometimes, it is not about what has been said, it is also about what is not said. It is paramount for ASEAN as a grouping of smaller states to hold up the aegis of international law and stress the need to respect individual countries' sovereignty and territory.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Republican state Rep. Matt Caldwell says he won't challenge his loss to Democrat Nikki Fried in Florida's agriculture commission race - a contest that was the closest of the three statewide seats that went through a recount.
Caldwell made his announcement in an email Monday, the day after official election results were turned in showing Fried with a 6,753-vote lead out of more than 8 million ballots cast, or a difference of 0.08 percentage points.
In his concession, Caldwell said there were clear problems with the way the vote count was conducted in Broward and Palm Beach counties, but it would cost millions of dollars to continue challenging the results.
Recounts were also conducted in Florida's races for governor and U.S. Senate.
The election results will be certified on Tuesday. Fried will become the first woman to serve as Florida's agriculture commissioner.


It's been a slow season for me so far. Spending my time between hunting, fishing, and traveling. Just haven't had the right timing. Seen some that I haven't had a shot at, missed a couple, and some other missed opportunities. More than anything, it's this friggin humidity keeping me away from the fields, and the mosquitoes are brutal in the evenings. And photobucket just returned to allowing image sharing. They shut that down for a while which left me to post from the phone.
I've still managed to put a few on the ground, couple called in and a couple in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Going all the way back to my last coyote in April...a honey hole kill.
The spring haying season was brutal for me. Just wasn't getting any action. I mean...I missed a couple, but I wasn't seeing them like I was used to. Got this one after reluctantly leaving the house to go hunt a bad wind in early June. This guy came out of the tall grass that I had just walked through...to find himself 37 yards from me. I was obviously facing away and had to pick up and swing the rifle his way. He looked my way twice and I froze until he looked back at the caller. Dropped him right where he popped out of the tall grass.
With the low humidity, that same evening, I went to the farm which continued to give me bad winds to hunt. Owner texted me earlier in the afternoon and mentioned seeing one as he bailed hay. Got there in plenty of time to walk across 300-400 yds of open field in the hopes of drawing one out of the large adjacent corn field. This female showed herself before sundown, and ran across 300 yds of open field from the direction I came in from. Check out the coloring on this one. For a moment I thought it was someone's dog as it was running across the field because of that tail. But as soon as she stopped and showed me her profile, I knew she was a coyote. Good sized female too.
I'm still after them. Got some more haying coming up, and I think it might be time to fire up the thermacell. I haven't till now, but those mosquitoes!! Thanks for reading!!
I stopped in at my uncle's yesterday and asked if you've been around. He said he hasn't seen you...or any coyotes.
NO way I'm hunting in this heat...even if I had time. Keep after them.
I've missed 5 this season (four different farms), and I think it's operator error more than anything. I put a new scope on the 6.8SPC and I've missed twice, but killed one. So I put that rifle away until I can get back to the range. Couple of the other shots were a little longer than normal, so small errors equal big misses.
Haven't hunted your uncles yet. I have yet to kill one there, though I know that the same yotes running through his place are showing up at other places.
I have learned some along the way this year...so we'll see how that changes success rates in the future. Now...where the hell's that thermacell?
I will give you a A for effort! I can't bring myself to go into the woods in this heat, and am just getting over Lyme arthritis. Keep after them!
Very nice. Especially with all of this heat and humidity we have been having.
Nice work. Doing it in this heat and humidity must be brutal. The mosquitoes are murder even in the yard. Maybe we'll use up all the heat in summer and have a nice cool fall?

Stójło – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie lubelskim, w powiecie krasnostawskim, w gminie Siennica Różana.

W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa chełmskiego.

W tym miejscu jeszcze w drugiej połowie XIX wieku było pole, uroczysko zwane powszechnie jako Stójło. W to miejsce okoliczni rolnicy spędzali bydło i wypasali je w okolicznych lasach. Nazwa powstała z gwary od słowa zwrotu gwarowego kierowanego przeważnie do krów tu wypasanych : "stój ło  tu se paś "  Na początku XX wieku powstała osada po zlepieniu dwu gwarowych zwrotów stój  i ło, stąd nazwa Stójło. Następnie powstał folwark, który około 1919 roku rozparcelowano. Na rozparcelowanej ziemi folwarcznej powstała miejscowość Stójło, kolonia licząca w 1921 roku 8 domów i 39 mieszkańców.

Wieś stanowi sołectwo gminy Siennica Różana. Według Narodowego Spisu Powszechnego (III 2011 r.) wieś liczyła  mieszkańców.

Does anyone know what the purple glow in the sky is in the very early mornings?? Ive seen this for a few days now and want to know what the cause is. This was taken around 5am, well befor sunrise. from r/Cleveland
The real explanation was hardly spooky.
Several months ago, Green City Growers — a greenhouse in the city — switched to purple LED lights, which get turned on each morning around 4 a.m., Cleveland News 5 reported. The glow from the large greenhouse's lights has been perplexing neighbors and commuters on Interstates 490 and 77 ever since.
"These LED lights help the plants grow healthier and faster," explained general manager Jeremy Lisy, according to News 5. "For example with traditional lighting, it would take about 30-35 days to harvest basil, but with LED lights that time is reduced down to around 28 days."
Lisy told the TV station he'd been waiting for people to start asking about the purple glow.
Plants performing photosynthesis can most efficiently soak up red and blue light, so the pink-ish, purple-ish LED lights are a good way to meet the plants' light needs without using too much power, NPR reports.
The purple lights are in the local news again this week, after people outside the Quicken Loans Arena and elsewhere started sharing photos of a very magenta sky — with some wondering if it was from a UFO, FOX 8 reports.
Others already knew the greenhouse was the culprit.
Hey @greencitygrower is that your purple light i see shining on the clouds south of the city?? pic.twitter.com/q7pe4opLsX

Green City Growers is a cooperative that raises produce without pesticides all year round at its 3.25-acre hydroponic facility in Cleveland, making it the largest food-growing greenhouse in the core urban area of any U.S. city, according to the cooperative's website. It opened in 2012.
The greenhouse grows a million heads of lettuce yearly, as well as other produce ranging from micro-greens to herbs. That produce gets delivered to local restaurants, grocery stores and elsewhere in the Cleveland area.
On October 11, 1973 two Pascagoula residents reported being abducted and examined by extraterrestrials. It was an allegation that sparked a media frenzy, focusing national attention onto the Mississippi Gulf Coast and locals' eyes skyward.

Set design and costuming as well as casting, can make or break a film. For those have seen the 1975 Legend of Lizzie Borden starring Bewitched's beautiful Elizabeth Montgomery, getting the house and costumes just right were very important. The famous house had been photographed and blueprints of the layout have been well- known since the murders in 1892. Lizzie herself is frozen in time in those leg o' mutton sleeves. The house owners received Lizzie's famous acquittal dress from Paramount Film Studio, and it is currently on display in the room where Abby Borden met her violent end. It is a popular item for visitors spending the night at the house on Second Street. Miss Montgomery was a size 4 when she wore this dress, which is actually a gray nubby-textured wool blend with a caplet with accordian-pleated long lappets which hang down the front and tuck into a belt at the waist. The very full accordian-pleated wide sleeves give the impression of the popular leg o' mutton sleeve which was growing ever-larger in 1892. The back of the cape is finished off with heavy metallic bead fringe. Sadly, guests at the house have purloined some of these fringes as souvenirs (see photo).
The late Guy Verhille, veteran costumer of many large screen and television productions won an Emmy, as did the set designer, in 1975 for his work in The Legend of Lizzie Borden. The hat to this ensemble was unfortunately thrown away. It featured a strong vertical embellishment as seen in the photo below, which was exactly correct for the era.

Hundreds of foreign criminals have absconded, figures show
Nov 8th 2018 4:21AM
Rapists and killers are among hundreds of foreign criminals who have dropped off the Home Office's radar.
Immigration authorities also lost track of overseas nationals convicted of kidnap, weapons possession and robbery.
They had been living in the community while facing removal from the UK.
Figures obtained by the Press Association show 450 foreign national offenders (FNOs) absconded in two and a half years to the end of June.
Some were later located but the whereabouts of more than 200 were unknown up to two years after contact with officials ceased.
Conservative MP Tim Loughton, a member of the Commons Home Affairs Committee, described the findings as "horrifying".
He said: "These are very concerning figures and confirm a worrying trend that we are a soft touch when it comes to dealing with foreign national offenders.
"It is a mystery to me why we do not immediately deport these criminals, some of them highly dangerous, back to their country of origin, and let their authorities deal with them.
"The fact that these people are escaping the watchful eye of the Home Office and are back on our streets is horrifying.
"Innocent people going about their daily lives could be at risk.
"Foreign criminals that have not been deported for breaking the laws of our country are now wandering around our streets.
"We need to be pulling out all the stops and booting them out of our country ASAP for having abused our hospitality and generosity."
If there is no immediate prospect of deportation or removal, convicted foreign nationals who have completed their sentence can be managed in the community.
They are required to report to officials at set times and can be subject to bail conditions and electronic monitoring.
Offenders are recorded as having absconded if their whereabouts are unknown and all procedures to re-establish contact have failed.
Figures obtained under Freedom of Information rules show 251 FNOs absconded in 2016, followed by 164 last year and 35 in the first six months of this year.
As of the end of June, 223 male FNOs had not been found.
Eleven females who absconded in 2016, plus unspecified numbers of five or fewer who absconded in 2017 and January to June this year, were also yet to be tracked down.
Offenders convicted of murder, manslaughter, rape, kidnap, weapons possession, robbery, conspiracy to defraud, theft, burglary and death by dangerous driving were among those unaccounted for.
Exact figures are not known for most offence categories, including murder, manslaughter and rape, as Home Office policy means it does not disclose data where the number is five or less, so individuals' identities can be protected.
The department also refused to provide details of the nationalities of absconders on the basis that disclosure could hamper efforts to deport or remove FNOs by undermining border controls and agreements with other countries.
Where statistics were given, they showed nine offenders previously convicted of violent crimes were yet to be located in June after absconding in 2016.
Eighty-two individuals with convictions for drug-related offences were also yet to be found.
The Home Office said some of the absconders recorded as unfound in June may have been traced since.
Shortcomings in arrangements for keeping track of foreign criminals living in the community were flagged up in a report from the immigration watchdog last year.
It found offenders can fail to attend meetings with staff on as many as 19 occasions before the alarm is raised, while planned removals were often frustrated by last-minute legal challenges.
Many absconders are traced at overseas locations and can be prevented from returning to the UK, officials said.
They added that it is likely others have also left the country, and will be denied re-entry if they try to return.
A Home Office spokeswoman said: "We always seek to deport those who commit crimes and whose conduct poses a serious threat to the basic fundamentals of society.
"We never give up trying to locate absconders, which is why we have introduced measures in the Immigration Act 2016 that will mean that in the future all non-detained foreign nationals subject to deportation proceedings or a deportation order will be considered for electronic monitoring.
"We have removed more than 44,500 foreign national offenders since 2010, and this week, like every week, more than 100 foreign criminals will be removed from the UK.
"In 2017-18, we removed more than 2,000 FNOs direct from prison under the Early Removal Scheme."
A national team has traced more than 2,000 absconders since it was established in 2009, the department added.

'Dominican Sisters of Peace Meet with Ohio Governor'
COLUMBUS, OH, August 16 – On Thursday, August 16, Ohio Governor John Kasich met with religious sisters from all over the state for lunch and discussion at the Governor's Residence in Columbus. Sisters Pat Twohill, Nadine Buchanan, and Barbara Kane represented the Dominican Sisters of Peace at this meeting, the second such conducted by the Kasich administration during his eight years as Governor. Kasich held the first of these luncheons in 2016 to celebrate the canonization of St. Teresa of Calcutta.
Governor Kasich opened this year's conversation with his personal concern that people are not hearing about compassion, mercy, and justice in their churches, and are not bringing Jesus' message of inclusion out to the world.
The discussion led to a number of comments and compliments about the Governor's policies from the Sisters in attendance, especially regarding his dedication to Medicaid expansion and his willingness to consider and grant clemency for those on death row. Although he personally believes in the death penalty, Kasich said, it is a very serious decision to make.
Ohio Governor John Kasich (foreground) listens to Dominican Sisters of Peace Prioress Sister Pat Twohill (in blue jacket) discuss vocations to consecrated life. Also shown are, from left: Laura Jones, Chief of Staff for First Lady Karen Kasich; Sr. Mary Jon Wagner, and Sr. Barbara Kane (end of table).
In response to a discussion about the decrease in those entering religious life, Sr. Pat Twohill commented that the Dominican Sisters of Peace and other orders are getting vocations. She added that it is a call that is not for everyone. Sr. Barbara Kane explained that the large number of vocations in the 1940's and 50's was an anomaly and that sisters are still attracted to religious life. When asked what kept Sisters doing their work, all agreed that the call and the support of the community were vital.
During the wide-ranging discussion, the Sisters at the meeting expressed their concern regarding a variety of societal issues facing our towns and cities, including health care for the poor, the opioid epidemic, fetal alcohol syndrome, and care for creation. During this discussion, Governor Kasich told the Sisters that he believes that local folks must come together to make a difference. "Strength in a group brings forth action," he said. He recognizes that the Sisters are often involved in coalitions that can initiate change in their local communities, and he strongly believes the individuals of faith must "spark people into action."
Sister Nadine Buchanan addresses the attendees of the Governor's Luncheon for Religious Women.
A perfect example of the Governor's belief in the power of Sisters to be a catalyst for change happened during the luncheon. Seated next to Kasich, Sr. Nadine Buchanan had the opportunity to tell him about her own work with trafficked women. She mentioned a recent drug-related incident that took place in her presence, and Kasich responded immediately. The Governor introduced Sister Nadine to Director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety John Born, who assigned resources to the problem right away.
Governor Kasich also shared his concern for children being separated at the border and being berated for coming to the U.S. from war-torn countries. "You just need to feel what it's like to be them," he said.
As part of the day's discussion, the Governor's staff described some of the programs that they are working on that are expected to improve the lives of Ohioans.
When asked if he was going to run for president in 2020, the Governor said that anything could happen, but most important, he would like to continue to have a voice in caring for people and promoting what is right.
Our Congregation and other consecrated religious in Ohio are grateful for this opportunity to share our concerns with Governor Kasich and his staff.
