In recent months, cryptocurrencies have attracted hoards of people including those who have had no experience in trading. The opportunity to become a millionaire lured not only ordinary folks but also various dubious characters eager to enrich themselves at the expense of inexperienced traders. One of such recent crypto scams is called Bitcoin Bank.
Bitcoin Bank presents its program as an HYIP high yield investment program. This bank promises a quick and profitable return on investment via an automated platform. What else could a beginner wish?
The service runs a cryptocurrency known as BTCB. By owning 1 coin you are supposed to earn 0.000005 bitcoin every day. Next, to maintaining accounts, Bitcoin Bank provides payment cards offering features of a standard debit card. During the transaction, BTCB is supposed to be automatically converted into a currency used in the given country. The bank also promises the user the possibility of using smartphones to pay.
Registration is easy and quick. The whole process including verification takes a few minutes. Once you start investing in BTCB, the bank will take care of all your activities and invest on your behalf in various markets, cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities. At first sight, all transactions look suspiciously perfect, exactly as all scam projects do when it comes to cryptocurrencies.
The first suspicion appears when the user wants to thoroughly test the bank. Along with the miraculous positives offered by Bitcoin Bank the information on the internet is rather sketchy.
What remains a mystery is the principle of its automated investment system, the same as the identity of the team members. Instead, the bank members present themselves through false profiles with stolen photos and LinkedIn profiles without history. Similarly obscure is the owner of the entire project.
On 5 March 2020, FCNB, Canada's regulator (Financial and Consumer Services Commission) issued a warning stressing that Bitcoin Bank did not posses any licence for the provision of investment services. Later on, the BB platform appeared on a list set up based on user complaints by FSMA (Belgium's regulatory body) bearing names of various fraudulent brokers.
Right now it's impossible to find Bitcoin Bank on the internet. anymore The symptoms suggest that the project was a pyramid built on a Ponzi scheme. What does it mean?
BTBC has no real value. When buying BTBC, the system doesn't trigger any automated investment process. Other trades don't take place, either. Money sent back to user accounts temporarily is taken from the user's total deposit. Initially, things look more or less normal.
However, the above period has a limited lifetime. The collapse of a similar pyramid BitConnect in January 2020 demonstrated a typical scenario: The owners of the platform suddenly went dark with all the investor's money and naive traders overnight lost all their "earnings".
Unlike Stephen (the other author) I have been thinking mainly about online business lately. I wasn't very successfull with dropshipping on Amazon and other ways of making money online, and I'd only earn a few hundreds of dollars in years. But then binary options caught my attention with it's simplicity. Now I'm glad it did because it really is worth it. More posts by this author
Bitcoin – the possible Pandora's Box of the currency world – has never been short of controversy. Whether it be aiding the black market or scamming users out of millions, bitcoin is no stranger to the front page.
Still, the jury is out on the legality and usefulness of bitcoin – leaving it in a proverbial grey area. Bitcoin's price has fluctuated throughout its history, falling and rising, currently hovering near $10,000. Perhaps you've found bitcoin while it looks to be on the rebound and find yourself interested in it as an investment.
However, there have been several legitimate bitcoin scams that have become infamous, and you need to know about them – but, what are the top 7 bitcoin scams? And how can you avoid them?
For most cases, it may be pretty obvious what a scam is – but with bitcoin, and cryptocurrency in general, things become murkier. Bitcoin itself is an unregulated form of currency that essentially is a mere number that is only given value because of an agreement. It's basically like a moneybag with a lock on it – the code of which is given to the recipient of the bitcoin (an analogy drawn by Forbes in 2020).
Bitcoin scams have been famously criminal and public in nature. With no bank as a middleman in exchange, things become more complicated; so hackers and con men have had a heyday.
There have been (and undoubtedly will be) nearly countless bitcoin scams, but these frauds make the list of the top 7 worst bitcoin scams to date. Take note.
Malware has long been the hallmark of many online scams. But with cryptocurrency, it poses an increased threat given the nature of the currency in and of itself.
Recently, a tech support site called Bleeping Computer issued a warning about cryptocurrency-targeting malware in hopes of saving customers from sending cryptocoins via transactions, reported Yahoo Finance.
"This type of malware, called CryptoCurrency Clipboard Hijackers, works by monitoring the Windows clipboard for cryptocurrency addresses, and if one is detected, will swap it out with an address that they control," wrote Lawrence Abrahams, computer forensics and creator of Bleeping Computer.
The malware, CryptoCurrency Clipboard Hijackers (which reportedly manages 2.3 million bitcoin addresses) switches addresses used to transfer cryptocoin with ones the malware controls – thus transferring the coins to the scammers instead. And, according to Asia Times, even MacOS malware has been connected to malware scams involving cryptocurrency investors using trusted sites like Slack and Discord chats – coined "OSX.Dummy."
Surely one of the easiest ways to scam investors is to pose as an affiliate branch of a respectable and legitimate organization. Well, that's exactly what scammers in the bitcoin field are doing.
South Korean scam BitKRX presented itself as a place to exchange and trade bitcoin, but was ultimately fraudulent. The fake exchange took on part of the name of the real Korean Exchange (KRX), and scammed people out of their money by posing as a respectable and legitimate cryptocurrency exchange.
BitKRX claimed to be a branch of the KRX, a creation of KOSDAQ, South Korean Futures Exchange, and South Korean Stock Exchange, according to Coin Telegraph.
BitKRX used this faux-affiliation to ensnare people to use their system. The scam was exposed in 2020.
"Ponzi bitcoin scam" has got to be the worst combination of words imaginable for financial gurus. And, the reality is just as bad.
Several organizations have scammed people out of millions with Ponzi schemes using bitcoins, including South Korean website MiningMax. The site, which was not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, promised to provide investors with daily ROI's in exchange for an original investment and commission from getting others to invest (basically, a Ponzi scheme). Apparently, the site was asking people to invest $3,200 for daily ROI's over two years, and a $200 referral commission for every personally recruited investor, reports claim.
MiningMax's domain was privately registered in mid-2020, and had a binary compensation structure. The fraudulent crypto-currency scam was reported by affiliates, resulting in 14 arrests in Korea in December of 2020.
Korea has long been a leader in technological developments – bitcoin is no exception. However, after recent controversy, it seems as though this is changing.
"But a lot of governments are looking at this very carefully," Yoo Byung-joon, business administration professor at Seoul National University and co-author of the 2020 research paper "Is Bitcoin a Viable E-Business?: Empirical Analysis of the Digital Currency's Speculative Nature," told South China Morning Post in January. "Some are even considering putting their currencies on the blockchain system. The biggest challenge facing bitcoin now is the potential for misuse, but that's true of any new technology."
A classic (but no less dubious) scam involving bitcoin and cryptocurrency is simply, well, fake currency. One such arbiter of this faux bitcoin was My Big Coin. Essentially, the site sold fake bitcoin. Plain and simple.
In early 2020, My Big Coin, a cryptocurrency scam that lured investors into sinking an alleged $6 million, was sued by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to a CFTC case filed in late January.
The CFTC case further details that the suit was due to "commodity fraud and misappropriation related to the ongoing solicitation of customers for a virtual currency known as My Big Coin (MBC)," further charging the scam with "misappropriating over $6 million from customers by, among other things, transferring customer funds into personal bank accounts, and using those funds for personal expenses and the purchase of luxury goods."
Among other things, the site fraudulently claimed that the coin was being actively traded on several platforms, and even mislead investors by claiming it was also partnered with MasterCard, according to the CFTC case.
Those sued included Randall Carter, Mark Gillespie and the My Big Coin Pay, Inc.
Still other scammers have used ICO's – initial coin offerings – to dupe users out of their money.
Along with the rise in blockchain-backed companies, fake ICOs became popular as a way to back these new companies. However, given the unregulated nature of bitcoin itself, the door has been wide open for fraud.
Most ICO frauds have taken place through getting investors to invest in or through fake ICO websites using faulty wallets, or by posing as real cryptocurrency-based companies.
Notably, $32 million Centra Tech garnered celebrity support (most famously from DJ Khaled), but was exposed for ICO fraud back in April of 2020, according to Fortune. The company was sued for misleading investors and lying about products, among other fraudulent activities.
The famous DJ wrote his support in a caption on Instagram back in 2020.
"I just received my titanium centra debit card. The Centra Card & Centra Wallet app is the ultimate winner in Cryptocurrency debit cards powered by CTR tokens!" Khaled wrote.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission even issued a warning in 2020 about ICO scams and faux investment opportunities, brought on by a slew of celebrities who promoted certain ICOs (like Paris Hilton and Floyd Mayweather Jr. to name a few).
"Any celebrity or other individual who promotes a virtual token or coin that is a security must disclose the nature, scope, and amount of compensation received in exchange for the promotion," the SEC wrote in an Investor Alert in 2020. "A failure to disclose this information is a violation of the anti-touting provisions of the federal securities laws."
Another example is Bitcoin Savings and Trust, which was fined $40.7 million in 2020 by the SEC for creating fake investments and using a Ponzi scheme to scam investors. According to Coin Telegraph, Trenton Shavers, the organization's leader, allegedly scammed investors into giving him 720,000 bitcoins promising a 7% weekly interest on investments – which he then used to pay back old investors and even fill his personal bank accounts.
Nothing catches the eye of the naïve quite like the promise of gold – bitcoin gold, of course.
That is exactly what mybtgwallet.com did to unsuspecting bitcoin investors.
According to CNN, the bitcoin gold (BTG) wallet duped investors out of $3.2 million in 2020 by promising to allow them to claim their bitcoin gold. The website allegedly used links on a legitimate website (Bitcoin Gold) to get investors to share their private keys or seeds with the scam, as this old screenshot from the website shows.
Before the scam was done, the website managers (slash scammers) was able to get their hands on $107,000 worth of bitcoin gold, $72,000 of litecoin, $30,000 of ethereum, and $3 million of bitcoin, according to CNN.
Bitcoin Gold, the site's wallet used in the scam, began investigating shortly after, but the site remains controversial. Still, firm released a warning to bitcoin investors.
"It's worth reminding everyone that it will never be truly safe to enter your private key or mnemonic phrase for a pre-existing wallet into any online website," Bitcoin Gold wrote. "When you want to sweep new coins from a pre-fork wallet address, best practice is the same as after other forks: Send your old coins to a new wallet first, before you expose the private keys of the original wallet. Following this basic rule of private key management greatly reduces your risk of theft."
While this type of scam is certainly not relegated to just bitcoin (thank you for the education, "The Wolf of Wall Street"), a pump-and-dump scam is especially dangerous in the internet space.
The basic idea is that investors hype up (or "pump up") a certain bitcoin – that is usually an alternative coin that is very cheap but high risk – via investor's websites, blogs, or even Reddit, according to The Daily Dot. Once the scammers pump up a certain bitcoin enough, skyrocketing its value, they cash out and "dump" their bitcoin onto the naïve investors who bought into the bitcoin thinking it was the next big thing.
Bittrex, a popular bitcoin exchange site, released a set of guidelines to avoid bitcoin pump-and-dump scams.
While "stackin' penny stocks" may sound like an appealing way to earn an extra buck (thanks to its glamorization by Jordan Belfort), messing in bitcoin scams is nothing to smirk at.
With the inevitable rise of bitcoin in current and coming years, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and be on the lookout for bitcoin scams that could cost you thousands. As more people become interested in Bitcoin, more people are also likely to try and pull off a scam.
There is no one formula to avoiding being scammed, but reading up on the latest bitcoin red flags, keeping information private, and double checking sources before investing in anything are good standard procedures that may help save you from being duped. Cryptocurrency can be a confusing topic even for the experienced Bitcoin enthusiast, so the more you read up on the world of Bitcoin, the more prepared you can be. After all, knowledge is power.
Bitcoin's meteoric rise in prices in 2020 awakened mainstream interest in the original cryptocurrency.   But the rise in interest has not been without consequences. One of the downsides of new investors entering the market is the increase in the number of scams, frauds, and stories of retail investors who lose their coins to shady ventures. From ICO scandals to wallet theft and fraud, regular consumers can fall prey to crime easily.
It may seem as though it's the Wild West for investors, but it doesn't have to be. While there are certainly risks in the market, the opportunities may be irresistible for some. However, being cautious is always a must, and there are clear signs of scams that investors can look for. By avoiding these traps, users can better their chances of success and protect their investments. These are some of the most common scams and how they can be avoided.
Bitcoin investors can increase their odds for success by identifying common scams, such as Ponzi schemes, fake ICOs, and fraudulent exchanges.
One common scam, exposing bitcoin users to theft, is the sale of a hardware wallet with a compromised pre-configured seed phrase, which allows hackers to steal funds.
Since bitcoin exchanges are unregulated, fraudulent exchanges can trap investors with the promise of unrealistic prices and heavy discounts on use.
Websites featuring fake ICOs instruct users to deposit funds into a compromised wallet through their site, resulting in the theft of funds.
For users who are concerned with security and privacy, a hardware wallet—a physical device that stores their private keys—is an increasingly popular option. Usually, as small as keychain USB drives, these wallets offer an offline way to help crypto investors protect their bitcoin even further. However, there have been reports that some of them have built-in vulnerabilities that open them to hackers that could easily steal all a user's holdings.
This is far from the only issue, however. According to Ofir Beigel, the owner of 99Bitcoins.com:
One scam entails selling hardware wallets to users with a 'pre-configured' seed phrase hidden under a scratch card. The new user is told that he should scratch the card . and set up the wallet with the compromised seed.
This creates a backdoor that allows hackers to drain funds once a wallet is activated. These scams are becoming more common, but they can easily be avoided by only accepting wallets from trusted sources.
Despite their decentralized nature, most cryptocurrencies are still bought and sold at exchanges. While this makes it easier to find the coins investors desire, there is still no regulatory body overseeing these exchanges in many countries. Thus, many investors have been left penniless when the exchanges they signed up for turn out to be traps. In December of 2020, several South Korean exchanges were exposed, leading to promises of stiffer regulations by the country's authorities.
These scams are not hard to spot but can be costly if not avoided. One of the biggest red flags is the promise of unrealistic prices. Exchanges that promise heavy discounts on bitcoin use this strategy to lure in unsuspecting victims.
Additionally, users can check exchanges' URLs. Web addresses should always begin with HTTPS, a sign that traffic is encrypted. Visiting unsecured websites is a bad idea, but alert investors can avoid losing thousands by looking for the right signs.
One of the best results of the cryptocurrency boom has been the rise of the initial coin offering as a way for companies to raise capital. With thousands of new blockchain-based companies entering the market with unique ideas and exciting projects, users can now back their favorite businesses easily. However, this massive explosion of ICO opportunities has inevitably raised the specter of fraud.
There are several ways scammers can separate investors from their bitcoin. One popular method involves creating fake websites that resemble ICOs and instructing users to deposit coins into a compromised wallet. Other times, it's the ICOs that are at fault.
Centra Tech, for example, a blockchain venture backed by several celebrities, has been sued in the US. The company stands accused of portraying fake team members, misleading investors, and lying about their products.   The best way to avoid these scams is close research that involves picking apart the white paper, reviewing the team behind the venture, key board members, and investors. Before making any investment, it's vital to learn as much about the company as possible to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Mining is the only way to extract new bitcoins without buying or exchanging them, but it has become an incredibly resource-intensive activity. Due to the unique way new coins are mined, it takes massive amounts of processing power and electricity, and thus money, to mine a coin. However, many companies now offer regular users the ability to rent some server space to mine coins for a set rate.
Some companies offer "lifetime contracts" that keep costs the same and supposedly offer outstanding returns. However, as the difficulty of mining increases, the same investment will return smaller amounts each time. Moreover, some companies make bold claims regarding their returns without being transparent about the true costs and diminishing returns. Others operate Ponzi schemes that can lead to massive losses. It's vital to look into opportunities and understand the risks and costs associated with mining before investing.
Even in the digital spheres, many multilevel marketing schemes have emerged that offer naïve investors excellent "opportunities" for progressively larger sums of bitcoin. MLMs, as they're known, are predicated on offering quick returns, but involve taking more money for the promise of even higher profits.
One major company that has been repeatedly outed is OneCoin, whose owners were implicated in several other shady operations. The company offered investors massive earnings, as well as luxury goods and perks for paying more.
However, there is little information on the company outside of its site, and users have left scathing reviews online. It's important to pay attention to a company's fine print and ensure that their claims are feasible and real. Avoiding these scams early can protect investors' wallets.
With the current craze, being vigilant and doing one's due diligence are a must before investing in bitcoin. The market is also showing signs of maturity, leading to better transparency and clearer rules. Regardless, a smart investor's first step should always be careful research to ensure their investments are winners.

We are the exclusive source of these hummingbird books!
Since 1994, Jacques has been licensed by the French government to possess and breed hummingbirds. Fascinated by them since childhood, he currently has about 100 hummers of different species in a very large aviary built onto their home in Pont de l'Etoile, near Marseilles in the south of France, a region with a climate similar to that of California. Jacques became the first international member of the Hummingbird Society in1996.
Being a retired nephrologist, he has the medical understanding that aids him immensely in keeping his captive hummingbirds healthy. He has had great success with the challenging task of successful breeding of hummingbirds in captivity.
Details of this many hummingbird species are not easy to find at an affordable price. This book devotes two pages to each of about 1/3 of all known species, including photos / drawings, how the species was named, where it is found (location and altitude), and more. A colorful book that goes beyond simply a recitation of facts! If you are creating a small library of hummingbird books, be sure to add this volume to others by the same author (below).
This book–the only one of its kind–reveals Dr. Ducros' breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding about hummingbirds, their characteristics, their distribution, and more. Even the most knowledgeable person about hummingbirds will learn something new on almost every page! All persons with a serious interest in hummingbirds should have this book in their library.
The book is illustrated with paintings by Jacques' wife, Mireille Ducros, and by Jacques' photos.
This book–the only one of its kind–reveals the understanding needed to raise and breed these birds who even in the wild live on the knife edge of existence.
Meet Rubilito, an intrepid little hummingbird. Find out why he leaves Texas and flies over the Gulf of Mexico, through Central America, all the way to Panama! Learn how you can help him do his job.
Conoce a Rubilito, un pequeño colibrí intrépido. ¡Descubre por qué se va de Texas y vuela sobre el Golfo de México, a través de Centroamérica, hasta llegar a Panamá! Aprende cómo puedes ayudarle a hacer su trabajo.

For those seeking an easy stroll down a canopied paved trail with relaxing water sounds, then the West Fork is for you! This 7-mile hike is located 14-miles above the city of Azusa, CA on Highway 39. This nationally designated bikeway is very popular with bicyclists who enjoy flat surface as they make their way towards Glenn Campground and eventually Cogswell damn.
During a hot-summer-day, hikers can cool off by dipping into the West Fork of the San Gabriel River under shade from Sycamore, White alder, and Willow trees.
It's important to note, however, this is one of the forest's more popular hikes and the nearby West Fork parking lot only accommodates 45 vehicles (make sure to display an Adventure Pass) so it's recommended to come very early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds.


Always interesting how you say you are "THE editor at Western Shooting Journal" instead of "AN editor". That's the same type of self-inflating crap Andrew Thomas pulls.
I got a kick out of it. There is only one other editor listed on our masthead, the executive editor, and he has his own separate magazine which he is the editor of. He looks over my magazine for typos, but his role in my magazine is probably less than 5%, I do almost everything except layout and ads, which is done by our design department. I travel around the country interviewing celebs and gun stars for the magazine, etc. So yeah, I am THE editor. Appropriately, I posted this sign on my office door today.

What you need to know, at a glance
Ottawa Public Health reported 87 new cases Tuesday, down from 123 new cases reported the day before
Ontario to begin offering free COVID-19 testing at Toronto's Pearson airport for travellers arriving from outside the country
Ontario added 3,266 new cases of COVID-19, the fifth day in the past seven with more than 3,000 cases reported
Some 1,463 COVID cases are being treated in Ontario hospitals, with 361 patients in intensive care. Both are record highs
Toronto added 805 new cases, with 523 in Peel, 349 in York Region, 208 in Windsor-Essex, and 206 in Waterloo
Tom Stewart, chief executive officer of the Niagara Health System and the St. Joseph's Health System, resigned from a group of experts that help guide the Ontario government's response to COVID-19 after admitting he had travelled to the Dominican Republic over the Christmas holidays
Quebec Premier François Legault announced an 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew that goes into effect Saturday and will last until Feb. 8
Starting today, Ontario will offer free COVID-19 testing at Toronto's Pearson airport to eligible travellers returning to Ontario from outside the country — but regardless of the test result, they will still have to quarantine for 14 days after arrival.
The testing will be voluntary, and offered to international travellers staying in the province for at least two weeks. They can pre-register for the program or decide to get testing when they land at the airport. Participants will receive a test to self-administer under the supervision of a health care provider, in-person or by video.
"Here in Ontario, we are doing our part. We have made terrible sacrifices here at home — the people, they are doing what's necessary to protect our communities. But all the while, COVID-19 has been getting into our borders from outside Canada," said Ontario Premier Doug Ford, at a Wednesday press conference announcing the program.
According to provincial data, travel is listed as a likely source of infection for 4,095 cases of COVID-19 in Ontario. Community spread, meanwhile, is the probable cause for 37,785 infections. Close contact and outbreak settings account for 81,958 and 37,981, respectively.
Ford described the new testing program as "a game-changer," and with work ongoing with the federal government to further enhance it, he said he hopes to have "more good news" to announce in the coming days.
"We have to get these borders under control," said Ford. "While protecting Canada's borders remains federal jurisdiction, we here in Ontario are ready to do our part."
Participating in the program won't exempt people from having to meet the new federal requirement for a negative COVID-19 test before travelling to Canada by air, which comes into effect Thursday.
Ford said he was happy to see the federal government implement this new requirement, and thanked the prime minister for the decision.
Health-care company Switch Health will provide the tests "in a convenient and dedicated space in the airport," according to the province. Local public health units will follow up on all positive test results.
Health Minister Christine Elliott said the next stage of the pilot program would include a modified quarantine period for participants who test negative.A federal-provincial program in Alberta currently allows eligible international travellers arriving at the Calgary International Airport to leave quarantine after testing negative for COVID-19, as long as they comply with a number of conditions including a second test on day six or seven.
Airport testing provides another layer of protection for Ontarians, said Craig Bradbrook, chief operating officer at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. He also expressed the belief that testing "will support a safe, evidence-based approach to restarting air travel."
"We're pleased to continue to see the governments of Ontario and Canada collaborate on possible COVID-19 testing programs at airports that could support the eventual safe reopening of borders, which would significantly reinvigorate the aviation industry's strong contribution to the economy.
"An unwavering focus on health and recovery of the aviation industry are not mutually exclusive," he later added.
Ontario reported 3,266 new cases on Wednesday, including 805 in Toronto, 523 in Peel, 349 in York Region, 208 in Windsor-Essex, and 206 in Waterloo. A number of other southern Ontario health units saw 100 or more new cases.
The province has now reported more than 3,000 new cases of COVID-19 for five of the past seven days.
Ottawa Public Health reported 87 additional cases. In the surrounding regions, the total confirmed case count rose by 47 in Eastern Ontario, 14 in Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington, seven in both Hastings Prince Edward and Leeds, Grenville & Lanark, and three in Renfrew County and District.
There are 1,463 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in Ontario, with 361 in ICU — record highs.
During the first wave in Ontario, hospital occupancy by COVID-19 patients peaked at 1,043. For intensive care units, the first-wave high was 264 patients.
Ontario registered 37 more COVID-19 deaths on Wednesday, 20 of them long-term care residents. The deaths bring the total number of lives lost to the disease in the province to 4,767.
Taking questions from reporters, Ford tried to dispel any perception that his government is sitting on COVID-19 vaccines.
"I just want to clarify something — there's no vaccines sitting in any freezers. We're running out of vaccines," Ford said.
He voiced a need for more doses in Ontario, while noting that the federal government is "doing everything they can to get those vaccines."
"We're all working together, but the quicker we can get these vaccines into people's arms, the safer we'll be."
Questioned by a Toronto Star reporter about the delay in moving the Pfizer vaccine into long-term care homes (Quebec did so right away), Ford said Ontario was following instructions from the federal government and Pfizer that they were not allowed to move it.
"Now we're going to move it and do a trial out in Ottawa and hopefully this is going to go smoothly and we'll be able to get it out."
Asked about the sweeping lockdown that Quebec is expected to announced later today, and what consideration he's giving to adopting this in Ontario, Ford said he's going to have a conversation with Premier Francois Legault Friday night and will speak with the Ontario health table later today, "and we'll be making that decision over the next few days."
As for the possibility that schools won't reopen as scheduled, the premier said his team is going to get advice from the health table and chief medical officer of health and make an announcement in the next day or so.
Meanwhile, a physician who travelled to the Dominican Republic over the holidays has resigned from a group of experts that help guide the Ontario government's response to COVID-19.
Dr. Tom Stewart is chief executive officer of the Niagara Health System and the St. Joseph's Health System.
Late Tuesday, the ministry said it has accepted Stewart's resignation from groups that advise the province about COVID-19.
"The people of Ontario have made countless sacrifices during the pandemic and it remains critically important that everyone continues to follow public health advice. We all have a part to play to stop the spread of COVID-19," the ministry said in a release.
Ottawa Public Health reported 87 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, and no additional deaths. There are 19 people hospitalized with the disease in Ottawa, up from 18 Tuesday, with nine in ICU (an increase of two).
Across the city, there are 869 active confirmed cases of the virus. One new COVID-19 outbreak was reported by OPH, involving two staff members at Centre de l'enfant aux 4 vents (Charlotte-Lemieux).
On Tuesday, Ottawa saw its first vaccination of a long-term care resident against COVID-19. By the day's end, 99 others at The Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre received their first shot of the Pfizer vaccine. The LTC home said it was looking forward to receiving more than 100 doses Wednesday to continue immunizing residents.
Quebec's premier announced details of a province-wide lockdown late Wednesday afternoon, including imposing a provincewide 8 p.m. curfew beginning Saturday as a way to halt surging COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations.
The province will become the first in the country to impose such a drastic measure to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Legault says the curfew will last between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. for four weeks, until Feb. 8.
Quebec reported 2,641 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, and 47 additional deaths — 13 of which occurred in the previous 24 hours. Hospitalizations rose by 76, for a total of 1,393. ICU occupancy increased by eight, to 202 COVID-19 patients.
Province-wide, nearly 39,000 vaccine doses have been administered. That includes 1,241 in the Outaouais, where 45 new cases and three more deaths were reported Wednesday. The regional COVID-19 death toll now sits at 125.
Meanwhile, the family advocacy committee of a Montreal-area long-term care home is threatening legal action if the province does not reverse its decision last week to use all its reserves of COVID-19 vaccine to broaden vaccinations, rather than in a second round of inoculations as originally planned.
In a letter delivered Tuesday to Premier François Legault and Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé, veteran constitutional lawyer Julius Grey called upon the government to honour its original agreement with Maimonides Geriatric Centre residents, who consented to their vaccination on the understanding they would receive a second dose as required by Pfizer, the manufacturer of the vaccine.
Grey has given the government 72 hours from the time the letter was received to provide the residents with their second dose, failing which, he will challenge the policy change in court.
Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau says Canada's ban on flights from the United Kingdom will expire Wednesday when the clock strikes midnight.
Canada halted most air travel from the U.K., where a mutated strain of COVID-19 had been discovered, on Dec. 20. New rules that require passengers returning from abroad to show proof of negative COVID-19 test results will prevent the spread of the virus across borders, Garneau said.
Passengers must take a PCR test — the type of test common in Canada involving a deep nasal swab, and distinct from a rapid test. The test has to be administered less than 72 hours before takeoff, or 96 hours in the cases of two dozen countries, mainly in the Caribbean, Garneau said at a virtual press conference.
Airlines say they were not initially consulted on the testing scheme, which they will be responsible for enforcing at check-in counters around the globe.
Cabinet ministers appealed to Canadians to stay on home turf as coronavirus case counts reach new daily highs, and as some federal and provincial politicians take heat and lose jobs over holiday trips abroad.

Jewish, the Musical
Jewish, the Musical is based on the life of Sigmund Freud who attributed his intellectual independence to his being Jewish and presents some stories through the lens of his theory. The story is wrapped in this year's school musical libretto a teacher just finished for his Grade Tens who are going to present their annual show first time ever on Times Square and though it sounds too old-fashioned to Millennials, it's definitely a tribute to Mr. Shapiro's own cultural identity, so he dishes out left and right his strict directions on how every number must sound. However, the students have other plans. As the concert unfolds, the teenagers' deliberately contemporary, almost rebellious versions along with their personal romances and anxieties begin to take over the show as Mr. Shapiro tries frantically to keep a lid on things to the delight of the live-streaming YouTube and TV audiences, as well as cheerful crowds of Times Square.

The "window repair project of colossal proportions" is about to descend upon the historic Mallory-Neely House! The contractor, along with his entourage of workers and equipment, will be arriving shortly. But before their work can begin, the house must be made ready – and this involves no small to-do list.
At an average house before the start of an average repair project, preparations might involve sliding a few chairs and tables out of the way, scooting a vase or two aside, or laying a drop cloth on the floor. The Mallory-Neely House, however, is not average and neither are the preparations for the monumental repair project that will return its 91 windows to their original, 19th-century glory! This project involves a 16,000 square foot mansion filled with original furnishings, and artifacts and treasures from around the world! There are 25 rooms lined with 91 masterpiece windows that are awaiting their transformations.
So – the hatches should, indeed, be battened down!
One: Protecting the House and Everything In It.
Special Movers. The Collections Staff, who specializes in handling artifacts, will be the group designated to move, remove and protect all the items involved.
Accessioned Inventory. Each accessioned piece of furniture, each painting, photograph, book, pin cushion, letter opener, hairbrush and comb, knife, fork and spoon, and the like – will be logged in inventory and carefully packed away into storage.
Special Protection – Stained Glass. Large pieces of stained glass which adorn two of the windows in the house do not require repair, but will need to be protected – protected from ladders and equipment being moved past them on a daily basis. One permanently-installed stained-glass piece will remain in place, guarded with a custom-built encasement. The other piece of stained glass, which is a removable panel, will be detached and moved to a storage area. There it will be encased inside a carefully, measured-to-fit plywood case.
Phasing. It was determined that the repair work must be done in phases in order for the House to remain open to the public during the course of the project. Each repair phase will affect only a small area of the house at a time so that the visitors will still be able to thoroughly enjoy everything our tours regularly have to offer.
Coordination of Rug Removal. The dismantling process of artifacts and furniture in each room needs to be coordinated with Joe Remmers, who owns J. Remmer's Rug & Specialty Cleaners. As described in a recent issue of The Museum Scope newsletter from the Pink Palace, Mr. Remmers has graciously donated his services to clean each rug in the Mallory-Neely House. The perfect time to have each rug removed for cleaning is in conjunction with the removal of that room's contents during the window repair project.
Photography Disiplay. An easel will be placed outside each room that is under repair. The easel will display photos of the room and its contents so that guests may still be able to see the room as it appeared before it was dismantled. Photos of the stained glass mentioned above will also be displayed on easels.
Three: Creation of a Workshop. The disassembly and restoration of 91 windows with utmost historical accuracy requires an on-site workshop for the contractor and his crew. In order to accommodate this, a good portion of the 3rd floor of the Mallory-Neely House has actually been transformed into a temporary machine shop and set of workrooms. Furniture and other items had to be moved and stored. Temporary walls of stud framework have been constructed with plastic sheeting attached as "temporary sheetrock." This will keep much of the dust and debris confined to the third floor where the carpentry, construction and assembly is taking place.
This post was written by Jamie Boelter, Mallory-Neely Staff.


The attributes of the Church are innumerable because her attributes are actually the attributes of the Lord Christ, the God-man, and, through Him, those of the Triune Godhead. However, the holy and divinely wise fathers of the Second Ecumenical Council, guided and instructed by the Holy Spirit, reduced them in the ninth article of the Symbol of Faith to four—I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. These attributes of the Church—unity, holiness, catholicity (sobornost), and apostolicity—are derived from the very nature of the Church and of her purpose. They clearly and accurately define the character of the Orthodox Church of Christ whereby, as a theanthropic institution and community, she is distinguishable from any institution or community of the human sort.
Just as the Person of Christ the God-man is one and unique, so is the Church founded by Him, in Him, and upon Him. The unity of the Church follows necessarily from the unity of the Person of the Lord Christ, the God-man. Being an organically integral and theanthropic organism unique in all the worlds, the Church, according to all the laws of Heaven and earth, is indivisible. Any division would signify her death. Immersed in the God-man, she is first and foremost a theanthropic organism, and only then a theanthropic organization. In her, everything is theanthropic: nature, faith, love, baptism, the Eucharist, all the holy mysteries and all the holy virtues, her teaching, her entire life, her immortality, her eternity, and her structure. Yes, yes, yes; in her, everything is theanthropically integral and indivisible Christification, sanctification, deification, Trinitarianism, salvation. In her everything is fused organically and by grace into a single theanthropic body, under a single Head—the God-man, the Lord Christ. All her members, though as persons always whole and inviolate, yet united by the same grace of the Holy Spirit through the holy mysteries and the holy virtues into an organic unity, comprise one body and confess the one faith, which unites them to each other and to the Lord Christ.
The Christ-bearing apostles are divinely inspired as they announce the unity and the uniqueness of the Church, based upon the unity and uniqueness of her Founder—the God-man, the Lord Christ, and His theanthropic personality: "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (I Cor. 3:11).
Like the holy apostles, the holy fathers and the teachers of the Church confess the unity and uniqueness of the Orthodox Church with the divine wisdom of the cherubim and the zeal of the seraphim. Understandable, therefore, is the fiery zeal which animated the holy fathers of the Church in all cases of division and falling away and the stern attitude toward heresies and schisms. In that regard, the holy ecumenical and holy local councils are preeminently important. According to their spirit and attitude, wise in those things pertaining to Christ, the Church is not only one but also unique. Just as the Lord Christ cannot have several bodies, so He cannot have several Churches. According to her theanthropic nature, the Church is one and unique, just as Christ the God-man is one and unique.
Hence, a division, a splitting up of the Church is ontologically and essentially impossible. A division within the Church has never occurred, nor indeed can one take place, while apostasy from the Church has and will continue to occur after the manner of those voluntarily fruitless branches which, having withered, fall away from the eternally living theanthropic Vine—the Lord Christ (Jn. 15:1-6). From time to time, heretics and schismatics have cut themselves offend have fallen away from the one and indivisible Church of Christ, whereby they ceased to be members of the Church and parts of her theanthropic body. The first to fall away thus were the gnostics, then the Arians, then the Macedonians, then the Monophysites, then the Iconoclasts, then the Roman Catholics, then the Protestants, then the Uniates, and so on—all the other members of the legion of heretics and schismatics.
By her theanthropic nature, the Church is undoubtedly a unique organization in the world. All her holiness resides in her nature. Actually, she is the theanthropic workshop of human sanctification and, through men, of the sanctification of the rest of creation. She is holy as the theanthropic Body of Christ, whose eternal head is the Lord Christ Himself; and Whose immortal soul is the Holy Spirit. Wherefore everything in her is holy: her teaching, her grace, her mysteries, her virtues, all her powers, and all her instruments have been deposited in her for the sanctification of men and of all created things. Having become the Church by His incarnation out of an unparalleled love for man, our God and Lord Jesus Christ sanctified the Church by His sufferings, Resurrection, Ascension, teaching, wonder-working, prayer, fasting, mysteries, and virtues; in a word, by His entire theanthropic life. Wherefore the divinely inspired pronouncement has been rendered: ". . . Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish" (Eph. 5:25-27).
The flow of history confirms the reality of the Gospel: the Church is filled to overflowing with sinners. Does their presence in the Church reduce, violate, or destroy her sanctity? Not in the least! For her Head—the Lord Christ, and her Soul—the Holy Spirit, and her divine teaching, her mysteries, and her virtues, are indissolubly and immutably holy. The Church tolerates sinners, shelters them, and instructs them, that they may be awakened and roused to repentance and spiritual recovery and transfiguration; but they do not hinder the Church from being holy. Only unrepentant sinners, persistent in evil and godless malice, are cut off from the Church either by the visible action of the theanthropic authority of the Church or by the invisible action of divine judgment, so that thus also the holiness of the Church may be preserved. "Put away from among yourselves that wicked person" (I Cor. 5:13).
In their writings and at the Councils, the holy fathers confessed the holiness of the church as her essential and immutable quality. The fathers of the Second Ecumenical Council defined it dogmatically in the ninth article of the Symbol of Faith. And the succeeding ecumenical councils confirmed it by the seal of their assent.
The theanthropic nature of the Church is inherently and all-encompassingly universal and catholic: it is theanthropically universal and theanthropically catholic. The Lord Christ, the God-man, has by Himself and in Himself most perfectly and integrally united God and Man and, through man, all the worlds and all created things to God. The fate of creation is essentially linked to that of man (cf. Romans 8:19-24). In her theanthropic organism, the Church encompasses: "all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers" (Col. 1:16). Everything is in the God-man; He is the Head of the Body of the Church (Col. 1:17-18).
In the theanthropic organism of the Church everyone lives in the fullness of his personality as a living, godlike cell. The law of theanthropic catholicity encompasses all and acts through all. All the while, the theanthropic equilibrium between the divine and the human is always duly preserved. Being members of her body, we in the Church experience the fullness of our being in all its godlike dimensions. Furthermore: in the Church of the God-man, man experiences his own being as all-encompassing, as theanthropically all-encompassing; he experiences himself not only as complete, but also as the totality of creation. In a word: he experiences himself as a god-man by grace.
The theanthropic catholicity of the Church is actually an unceasing christification of many by grace and virtue: all is gathered in Christ the God-man, and everything is experienced through Him as one's own, as a single indivisible theanthropic organism. For life in the Church is a theanthropic catholicization, the struggle of acquiring by grace and virtue the likeness of the God-man, christification, theosis, life in the Trinity, sanctification, transfiguration, salvation, immortality, and churchliness. Theanthropic catholicity in the Church is reflected in and achieved by the eternally living Person of Christ, the God-man Who in the most perfect way has united God to man and to all creation, which has been cleansed of sin, evil, and death by the Savior's precious Blood (cf. Col. 1:19-22). The theanthropic Person of the Lord Christ is the very soul of the Church's catholicity. It is the God-man Who always preserves the theanthropic balance between the divine and the human in the catholic life of the Church. The Church is filled to overflowing with the Lord Christ, for she is "the fullness of Him that filleth all in all" (Eph. 1:23). Wherefore, she is universal in every person that is found within her, in each of her tiny cells. That universality, that catholicity resounds like thunder particularly through the holy apostles, through the holy fathers, through the holy ecumenical and local councils.
God-man, for the sake of the God-man, and in the God-man. And it is always and everywhere thus. That for them is immortality in the time and space of this world. Thereby are they even on this earth partakers of the theanthropic eternity of Christ.
This theanthropic apostolicity is integrally continued in the earthly successors of the Christ-bearing apostles: in the holy fathers. Among them, in essence, there is no difference: the same God-man Christ lives, acts, enlivens and makes them all eternal in equal measure, He Who is the same yesterday, and today, and forever (Heb. 13:8). Through the holy fathers, the holy apostles live on with all their theanthropic riches, theanthropic worlds, theanthropic holy things, theanthropic mysteries, and theanthropic virtues. The holy fathers in fact are continuously apostolizing, whether as distinct godlike personalities, or as bishops of the local churches, or as members of the holy ecumenical and holy local councils. For all of them there is but one Truth, one Transcendent Truth: the God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ. Behold, the holy ecumenical councils, from the first to the last, confess, defend, believe, announce, and vigilantly preserve but a single supreme value: the God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The principal Tradition, the transcendent Tradition, of the Orthodox Church is the living God-man Christ, entire in the theanthropic Body of the Church of which He is the immortal, eternal Head. This is not merely the message, but the transcendent message of the holy apostles and the holy fathers. They know Christ crucified, Christ resurrected, Christ ascended. They all, by their integral lives and teachings, with a single soul and a single voice, confess that Christ the God-man is wholly in His Church, as in His Body. Each of the holy fathers could rightly repeat with St. Maximus the Confessor: "In no wise am I expounding my own opinion, but that which I have been taught by the fathers, without changing aught in their teaching."
And from the immortal proclamation of St. John of Damascus there resounds the universal confession of all the holy fathers who were glorified by God: "Whatever has been transmitted to us through the Law, and the prophets, and the apostles, and the evangelists, we receive and know and esteem highly, and beyond that we ask nothing more. . . Let us be fully satisfied with it, and rest therein, removing not the ancient landmarks (Prov. 22:28), nor violating the divine Tradition." And then, the touching, fatherly admonition of the holy Damascene, directed to all Orthodox Christians: "Wherefore, brethren, let us plant ourselves upon the rock of faith and the Tradition of the Church, removing not the landmarks set by our holy fathers, nor giving room to those who are anxious to introduce novelties and to undermine the structure of God's holy ecumenical and apostolic Church. For if everyone were allowed a free hand, little by little the entire Body of the Church would be destroyed."
The holy Tradition is wholly of the God-man, wholly of the holy apostles, wholly of the holy fathers, wholly of the Church, in the Church, and by the Church. The holy fathers are nothing other than the "guardians of the apostolic tradition. " All of them, like the holy apostles themselves, are but "witnesses" of a single and unique Truth: the transcendent Truth of Christ, the God-man. They preach and confess it without rest, they, the "golden mouths of the Word." The God-man, the Lord Christ is one, unique, and indivisible. So also is the Church unique and indivisible, for she is the incarnation of the Theanthropos Christ, continuing through the ages and through all eternity. Being such by her nature and in her earthly history, the Church may not be divided. It is only possible to fall away from her. That unity and uniqueness of the Church is theanthropic from the very beginning and through all the ages and all eternity.
The holy Tradition is the Gospel of the Lord Christ, and the Lord Christ Himself, Whom the Holy Spirit instills in each and every believing soul, in the entire Church. Whatever is Christ's, by the power of the Holy Spirit becomes ours, human; but only within the body of the Church. The Holy Spirit—the soul of the Church, incorporates each believer, as a tiny cell, into the body of the Church and makes him a "co-heir" of the God-man (Eph. 3:6). In reality the Holy Spirit makes every believer into a God-man by grace. For what is life in the Church? Nothing other than the transfiguration of each believer into a God-man by grace through his personal, evangelical virtues; it is his growth in Christ, the putting on of Christ by growing in the Church and being a member of the Church. A Christian's life is a ceaseless, Christ-centered theophany: the Holy Spirit, through the holy mysteries and the holy virtues, transmits Christ the Savior to each believer, renders him a living tradition, a living life: "Christ who is our life" (Col. 3:4). Everything Christ's thereby becomes ours, ours for all eternity: His truth, His righteousness, His love, His life, and His entire divine Hypostasis.
Holy Tradition? It is the Lord Jesus Christ, the God-man Himself, with all the riches of his divine Hypostasis and, through Him and for His sake, those of the Holy Trinity. That is most fully given and articulated in the Holy Eucharist, wherein, for our sake and for our salvation, the Savior's entire theanthropic economy of salvation is performed and repeated. Therein wholly resides the God-man with all His wondrous and miraculous gifts; He is there, and in the Church's life of prayer and liturgy. Through all this, the Savior's philanthropic proclamation ceaselessly resounds: "And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world" (Mt. 28 20): He is with the apostles and, through the apostles, with all the faithful, world without end. This is the whole of the holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church of the apostles: life in Christ = life in the Holy Trinity; growth in Christ = growth in the Trinity (cf. Mt. 28: 19-20).
Of extraordinary importance is the following: in Christ's Orthodox Church, the Holy Tradition, ever living and life-giving, comprises: the holy liturgy, all the divine services, all the holy mysteries, all the holy virtues, the totality of eternal truth and eternal righteousness, all love, all eternal life, the whole of the God-man, the Lord Christ, the entire Holy Trinity, and the entire theanthropic life of the Church in its theanthropic fullness, with the All-holy Theotokos and all the saints.
The personality of the Lord Christ the God-man, transfigured within the Church, immersed in the prayerful, liturgical, and boundless sea of grace, wholly contained in the Eucharist, and wholly in the Church—this is holy Tradition. This authentic good news is confessed by the holy fathers and the holy ecumenical councils. By prayer and piety holy Tradition is preserved from all human demonism and devilish humanism, and in it is preserved the entire Lord Christ, He Who is the eternal Tradition of the Church. "Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh" (I Tim. 3 16): He was manifest as a man, as a God-man, as the Church, and by His philanthropic act of salvation and deification of humanity He magnified and exalted man above the holy cherubim and the most holy seraphim.

Q: My Yii Application Saving and rules error I've changed my codes a lot.
this is the code in my controller:

public function actionRequestTV() {
$this->layout = '//layouts/column1';
$this->bodyclass = 'bodygrey_without_leftbg';
$model = new Reqtv();

if (isset($_POST['Reqtv'])) {
    if ($model->validate()) {
        $model->attributes = $_POST['Reqtv'];
        if ($model->save())
            $this->redirect(array('step2', 'id' => $model->REQTVID));
    }
}elseif (isset($_POST['BP'])) {
    if ($model->validate()) {
        $model->attributes = $_POST['BP'];
        if (!$model->save()) {
            print_r($model->getErrors());
        }else
            $this->redirect(array('step2B', 'id' => $model->REQTVID));
    }
}else
    $this->render('reqtvform_step1', array(
        'model' => $model,
    ));

}

here is the rules :
    public function rules() {
        // NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
        // will receive user inputs.
        return array(
            array('BPID, SK', 'numerical', 'integerOnly' => true),
            array('BPMOBILE', 'numerical'),
            array('TVID, TVPASS', 'length', 'max' => 50),
            array('PROBLEM', 'length', 'max' => 250),
            array('BPCP, BPMOBILE, BPEMAIL', 'length', 'max' => 255),
            array('SK', 'ceksk'),
            array('BPEMAIL', 'email'),
            array('PSNO', 'cekPSNO'),
//            array('SK, PROBLEM, TVID, TVPASS', 'required', 'on' => 'step2'),
            // The following rule is used by search().
            // Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.
            array('REQTVID, BPID, TVID, TVPASS, PROBLEM, SK, BPCP, BPMOBILE, BPEMAIL, PSNO', 'safe', 'on' => 'search'),
        );
    }

after changing my code from this code into more simple like the code above, it already able to save the values. but, some rules doesn't work, like ceksk rule. this is the code of ceksk:
    public function ceksk() {
    if($this->SK){
    if (!$this->SK == 1) {
        $this->addError('SK', 'Maaf, anda harus mencentang persetujuan syarat & ketentuan sebelum melanjutkan');

        return false;
    }
    }
}

UPDATE
my ceksk rule is already work. but I'm decided to use JQuery instead:
<?php
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('JQuery', "

  $('#kirim').click(function() {
if ($('#SK').attr('checked')) {
      return true;
      }else{
      alert('Anda belum mencentang Syarat & Ketentuan');
      return false;
    }
  });
");
?>

but my other rules still won't work. my cekPSNO rule is working actually. but when it catch the error, it bring me to a blank white page instead of staying in the form page and show the error. this is the code:
public function cekPSNO() {
        if ($this->PSNO) {
            $psno = Ps::model()->findByAttributes(array('PSNO' => $this->PSNO));

            //check cdsn ada atau tidak
            if ($psno === null) {
                $this->addError('PSNO', 'Nomor PS tidak ditemukan, silahkan periksa Nomor PS anda !');

                return false;
            } else {
                if (date('Y-m-d') > $psno->TGLBERAKHIR) {
                    $this->addError('PSNO', 'Premium Support sudah expired !');
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
    }

please, your help are absolutely appreciated. thank you :))

A: try this:
public function ceksk($attribute) {
    if (!$this->$attribute == 1)
        $this->addError($attribute, 'Maaf, anda harus mencentang persetujuan syarat & ketentuan sebelum melanjutkan');
}

A: if(!$this->SK == 1) is not going to produce the result you want.
Try with if($this->SK != 1).
See http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php
The negation from the ! occurs before the comparison operator, which means you are effectively  executing ((!$this->SK) == 1).
This will cause the code block to never execute, for if $this->SK is present and can type type-juggled to true, then its negation will result on a false value, which when compared to 1 (a true value) is never true. Whereas if $this->SK is empty or type-juggles to false, the incorrect comparison later will never be executed, so your validation will never report failure.
