In its simplest form, money is a substitution for barter to make trade more efficient (formally: medium of exchange) but money is also a means for generating production by allowing for saving and investment (store of value) and for accounting and reconciliation (unit of account).
Different economic schools view money differently. Even for the doctrines advocating gold as money in some way, there's vast differences. An example is that followers of the Austrian school of economics propose that gold should be used as money generally whereas Freegolders view fiat money as the natural medium for exchange with gold as a store of value.
There is no doubt enough resources for everyone to survive in the world.
Yet the monetary system is causing enormous disruptions. Western countries are debt stricken. Youth unemployment in Greece and Spain stands at about 60 %. Even when the population, like in Greece, gets sick of it all and votes for a new government or debt restructuring, nothing is changed. More credit. More debt. More unsustainability.
A far greater problem, although mostly ignored, is that there's 2,700,000,000 people in the world living on less than 2 dollars/day. More than 90 % of the population in Liberia, Burundi, Madagascar and Malawi has an income of less than 2 US Dollars/day.
Why are we facing these problems in a time when we have access to an abundance of resources and innovative capabilities?
I believe the monetary system to be the culprit. I can't conceive a monetary system worse than what we have today.
The 1729 quote from Voltaire "Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value — zero" is as true today as ever. One of the most absurd contradictions in the 21st century is that people actually believe that fiat money has a value. Why would anyone believe that?
Credit money certainly shouldn't have any role as a store of value as it creates enormous imbalances between surplus and deficit countries when surplus countries save in debt instruments issued by deficit countries. For medium of exchange, it may be difficult to get rid of fiat money altogether but it's worth questioning if we wouldn't be much better off with the government just issuing the money debt free rather than issuing it as debt which can't be repaid anyways.
A much debated rhetorical and philosophical question is whether there is enough money. Opponents to the gold standard sometimes argue that there's not enough gold for it to work as a medium of exchange.
Followers of the Austrian economic school would argue that the quantity of money doesn't matter as gold can simply increase in value. Under a strict gold standard where the money supply is automatically governed by the supply of gold, price deflation should thus be the natural effect of productivity increases.
Followers of Freegold will argue that a gold standard is unrealistic as history has shown that governments will always eventually resort to credit money to finance whatever needs to be financed to guarantee them be re-elected. Freegolders oppose fiat money as a store of value as it is skewing trade and creating perpetual imbalances but not as a medium of exchange.
My suggestion is a simple one but perhaps utopian in these authoritarian times. Leave the monetary function to the market and there will always be enough money. Let people create their own medium of exchange as they desire. If people prefer credit money issued by a bank so let it be. But in doing so, they also have to be prepared to lose their wealth if the bank goes bankrupt. If people prefer cowry shells as money, which I incidentally believe to be much better than bank credit money, so let it be.
Money is a vehicle and a facilitator. It can be saved for investment into automation, mechanization, innovation and new products that makes our life more convenient.
But money is also information i.e. information spreading a message of status and power. When your essentials are met, wouldn't it be natural that you pursue your dreams and passions? Paint a picture, watch the stars, swim in the ocean or play football. Yet so many people are living lives and working jobs they hate.
Despite all the technological advancement in the last century improving living standards in many countries, a lot of people don't feel that their life is getting more convenient. Sure, most people in developed countries can earn a living but money has become an obstacle rather than a facilitator. Money is used in the pursuit of status leading people to take jobs because of the money rather than choosing a vocation they are passionate about. 40+ hours of work per week in a job you hate to make money chasing the empty promise of status is a false premise for happiness.
It's a double edged sword though because if you follow your passion and become your own employer, governments and authorities are adding so much bureaucracy into all entrepreneurial ventures that you risk spending all your time on paper work.
Entrepreneurs in many, if not most, countries are drowning in bureaucracy killing their original sincere intention and passion.
I'm a strong supporter of free enterprise. Free enterprise is a model for happiness. That's one of the reasons I have emigrated from Sweden, where most ambitions for small scale private enterprise is killed due to massive bureaucracy, to run BullionStar in Singapore. Singapore is the best country in the world to buy and store gold & silver. When you buy gold & silver in Singapore, there's no taxes whatsoever and there's no reporting requirements. If you store gold & silver in Singapore, you'll benefit from low costs as insurance is comparatively cheap due to the low crime rates, strong rule of law and strong property ownership rights.

Johnsonville State Historic Park - Trail Running
Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Send via Email
Johnsonville is just across the river from Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park, with several skirmishes as a result.
Brian Stansberry
Once the site of a Civil War-era supply depot, Johnsonville State Park has an excellent eight-mile loop trail for runners.
Emma Walker
There are three trails here totaling 10.5 miles.
Destination Distance From Downtown
3 of 5 diamonds
Trails here range from easy to strenuous, so get ready for a workout.
The trail is open year round, but winter is the best time to go because it's cooler and less buggy (which minimizes your chances of finding ticks after you get home).

Fees Permits
Johnsonville State Historic Park
Named after Andrew Johnson, our 17th president and Tennessee's Union Military Governor during the Civil War, this state park covers more than 1,000 acres. It was the site of the historic Battle of Johnsonville in 1864, and was also once the site of the town of Johnsonville. Unfortunately, this Civil War-era Union supply depot was flooded by the creation of Kentucky Lake in 1944. Today, the park features three hiking trails for a total of 10.5 miles of trail running.
What Makes It Great
Just a few minutes north of New Johnsonville, which was incorporated in 1949 after the original town was covered in water by the Tennessee Valley Authority, Johnsonville State Park is a beautiful place to head out on a challenging trail run.
The eight-mile Historic Johnsonville Trail is the longest in the park, making a long loop around the park's other attractions. First, it heads downriver along the Tennessee and eventually traverses the signature rolling hills, cutting down Meredith Hollow, and meeting up with its beginning point along Trace Creek. Most of this trail is through the woods, and there are a couple creek crossings, too.
The more strenuous two-mile Civil War Forts Trail sticks to the hilly (and historically significant) center of the park, while the half-mile, crushed rock African-American Cemetery Loop goes around a few marked graves in a cemetery that was part of a church when Old Johnsville existed. This shorter trail also has an observation deck (behind the reconstructed soldier cabins) for viewing Trace Creek.
Who is Going to Love It
Johnsonville is a bit out of the way for most, but its recreational opportunities and history more than make up for its relative remoteness. There's also abundant boating, fishing, and birdwatching at the park, so it's worth bringing the whole family. The trails themselves are certainly on the more technical side, but the Historic Johnsonville Trail has several bailout options if the full loop distance is too much.
Directions, Parking, & Regulations
Johnsonville State Historic Park is located at 90 Nell Beard Road in New Johnsonville, Tennessee.

Home / From Detroit To Kenya: Chef Max and I AM Hope Foundation Impacts Hunger Abroad
From Detroit To Kenya: Chef Max and I AM Hope Foundation Impacts Hunger Abroad
The saying that charity begins at home is true, but charity should not just stop at home, and for Chef Max Hardy, the need to impact the hunger epidemic here and aboard is a continuing passion that has taken him around the world. This time partnering along with the 'I Am Hope Foundation' for a return mission to the villages in Kenya.
I AM Hope Foundation's mission in one word is HOPE! "The foundation's mission is restoring hope into young people lives all over the country and all over the world. It started four years ago with founder Teshanne Phillips, who spearheaded traveling abroad to help communities and schools through faith-based mission trips." Said, Chef Max Hardy.
According to Hardy, the initial mission was to see what impact was needed and from there every follow-up mission has built on the last, starting with building a kitchen which is an outdoor cookhouse to painting the walls and paving the dirt floor of the village schools. "They don't have electricity, all they have to use is a wood burning stove. The school is two hours outside Kenya, in the village, there are two-hundred families. It's very moving to see that they have so little, but they are so grateful for the resources they do have." Hardy, said.
Although a cookhouse and updated schoolhouse are needed, the necessities that we take for granted are also in demand. "There is a need for sanitary napkins, toothpaste, combs, toothbrushes, tampons, shoes and we supply those items. We also took over three hundred plastic plates three years ago, along with forks and cups, which they are still using today." Hardy, said.
There is also a great need for food, being that the daily diet of most of the villagers consists of boiled matza meal to create a portage. "The reception from the families of the village seeing us returning was great. We had only planned on feeding the children, but when the village heard we were arriving the families showed up. We only planned to cook for one-hundred-fifty people, and we had to make the food stretch for three-hundred people." Hardy continued. "We took seeds over two years ago, and they now have a harvest of corn, cabbage, sugar cane to add to their meals."
Hardy's no stranger to the fulfillment that comes from giving to others with his foundation; One Chef Can 86 Hunger and be able to partner with the I AM Hope Foundation to further the commitment to leaving an impact on someone's life is a reward that keeps on giving.
"It's fulfilling to see the enrollment rate go from one-hundred-fifty to two-hundred-eighty students. It's great to see the impact. It's one thing to cook here for the enjoyment of food, but it's another thing to cook for people who need the food for substances." Hardy, said.

See 14 reasons your brother is the greatest gift your parents ever gave you - Blog Mall Nigeria - No 1 Hub For You!
If you and your brother are close or far, similar or very different, there are many reasons why a brother is a gift - here are some of them.
Having a brother in your life forces you to compromise on everything. Whether you're pre-schoolers negotiating over what toys to play with, teenagers trying to share a car, or thirty-somethings debating whether he really has to wear a tux for your wedding, compromise is a life skill those with brothers learn early.
It may not seem like it when you're little, but your brother often becomes your best friend and closest confidante over time. Sure, you've had your squabbles, but he's someone who's always been there for you.
Brothers are annoying. You'll get to practice patience every single day growing up alongside him. And patience is a virtue, right?
You've had friends to get you in and out of trouble, but your brother was your first partner in crime. You learned to cover for each other, watch each other's backs, and share the blame when you inevitably got caught.
Sometimes on purpose, but often by accident. Brothers do the funniest things, and it's your job to laugh at his jokes (and always remind him about that time whipping cream came out of his nose).
Brothers almost always have a protective side. You're often happy he's so protective ... but not always.
Brothers are great at stepping in and helping out when you're in an awkward situation. Just when you admit to your parents that you messed up, he comes home to admit an even worse mistake - deflecting the attention beautifully.
Long road trips, ill-planned family vacations, boring visits to relatives you have nothing in common with: these can be incredibly tedious for an only child. And while you and your brother may be singing together or arguing together, at least you have company when visiting auntie and uncle.
Friends can be busy when you need them to help you move or unclog your toilet, but your brother has a familial duty to help out his siblings.
You can always count on your brother's honest opinion. You have enough history that he can tell you exactly what he thinks about your new hair-cut, or your latest crush, when all your friends (and even your parents) sugarcoat the truth and try not to hurt your feelings.
We all have plenty of problems that are directly tied to our family backgrounds, our relatives or the way we grew up - you brother has the same ones. He can relate, and he'll be there for you as you work through the unique challenges your childhood gave you both.
If you're still young it may be hard to relate, but one day your parents will be elderly and you'll have to take care of them. Your brother can share the responsibilities and the emotions that go with that stage of life.
As we get older, it's nice to spend time with people who knew us when we were young. It's great to have someone to relive your youth with and get nostalgic with. You may reach a life stage where your brother has known you longer than anyone else in the world and is the best person to reminisce with.
Even if he rarely (or never) tells you, he loves you. Some brothers are affectionate, but a lot aren't. Know that brotherly love runs deep, and no matter how much you mess up or irritate him, your brother probably still loves you, a lot.

The spout is modelled as a flying bat with open mouth, the wings wrapped around each side, the handle a crescent moon, glazed in colors, printed mark, registered design no.820778. Five inches tall. Blanche Georgiana Vulliamy created figures from a wide variety of materials with special emphasis on wax and clay models which were used as a basis for pottery designs. At a pottery exhibition at Alexandra House in 1904, Queen Mary, then the Princess of Wales, purchased some of her 'Smiley Poggs' caricature pottery figures for which Blanche was well known. She moved to Torquay, Devon to live with her grandparents, during which time she acquainted herself with the pottery industry in South Devon, particularly the Aller Vale Art Pottery, and the potteries in Barnstaple, North Devon. She died at Amersham, Buckinghamshire on 4 August 1923, aged 54.


By definition, LinguaVox is a Basque translation agency, as it was founded in the Basque Country and currently has its head office in Bilbao. Our team of talented Basque translators has been selected on the basis of their qualifications (usually a degree in Translation or in Basque Philology), their detailed knowledge of the most common source languages, their proven experience as professional translators, and their expertise in various technical fields. That explains why the leading translation agencies in the world trust in our Basque Translation Services.
Basque language (called euskera or euskara by native speakers) is truly a linguistic rarity. For decades, linguists and researchers have wondered how this pre-Indo European language originated, and more importantly, how it survived to this day without being absorbed by Latin, like the surrounding Romance languages did. Today, Basque is spoken by approximately 1 million people in Northern Spain (provinces of Navarra, Gipuzkoa, Bizkaia and Araba) and in the South West of France (in the region known as Iparralde, which comprises part of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department).
Over the past few years, the Basque Government has worked towards the implementation of numerous linguistic policies that aim to promote the use of Basque language among the younger generations. Currently, there are three educational models in place throughout the Basque territories, one of which consists on lessons provided exclusively in Basque (except for Spanish and foreign languages). Basque is also used academically at higher education institutions, and there are several Basque learning programs for adults and immigrants. Moreover, Basque is widely spoken in official institutions and governmental bodies throughout the Basque Autonomous Community.
The efforts to increase the number of Basque speakers seem to be paying off, since according to recent statistics, in some areas one in four inhabitants have chosen to speak primarily Basque, and the overall increase in the number of Basque speakers surpasses 200,000.

1992-93 Tim Hunter Quebec Nordiques Game Worn Jersey – Tim Hunter Letter
1977-78 J.C. Tremblay WHA Quebec Nordiques Game Worn Jersey Alexei Gusarov Quebec Nordiques Blue Sher-Wood Game Used Stick 1976-77 Norm Dube WHA Quebec Nordiques Game Worn Jersey - Avco Cup Season
This jersey hails from the personal collection of legendary NHL enforcer, Tim Hunter. A letter of provenance signed by Mr. Hunter will accompany your purchase.
This home white knit gamer by CCM was worn by Tim Hunter during the 1992-93 NHL season. The Atlanta Flames selected Hunter in the 3rd round of the 1979 NHL Entry Draft. Tim made his NHL debut with a 2-game call-up in 1981-82 and finally became a fixture for the Flames in the latter stages of the 1982-83 season. He would spend parts of 11 years in Calgary before finishing his 16-year NHL career with stints in Quebec, Vancouver and San Jose. Immediately after his retirement, this inspirational leader joined the NHL coaching ranks, and spent 14 years working behind the NHL benches before becoming the Head Coach of the WHL's Moose Jaw Warriors. Hunter ranks as one of the NHL's all-time great heavyweights. In 815 regular season games, this 6'2" 200lb. forward amassed 3146 PIMS! He is one of only 9 players to ever surpass that vaunted total. Hunter won his only Stanley Cup in 1988-89 with Calgary. It was during that season that he set his career best single season total of 375 PIMS.
This jersey has been customized for Hunter with extra panels added into the upper sleeves. Sewn to the right breast of this gamer is the French version of the NHL's 100-year Stanley Cup anniversary patch. The game wear on this size 56 sweater consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, a torn sleeve cuff and inner pilling. Hunter spent a mere 48 games with the Nordiques before joining the Vancouver Canucks in February 1993. This jersey resided in Hunter's personal collection since leaving the ice in 1993 and it marks the first time we've seen a Hunter Nordiques jersey ever appear at Major Auction. A beautiful customized Stanley Cup anniversary patched example, hailing from the personal collection of legendary enforcer and 3000 PIMS club member, Tim Hunter.

Ray Price Akea Express Drag Racing Team Takes Number Three Spot
The Ray Price Akea Express Drag Racing Team lost first round of eliminations after qualifying in the number three spot at their first National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Harley Davidson Drag Racing Series race of the season at Royal Purple Raceway in Houston, Texas during the weekend of March 1-3.
Rider Tommy Grimes hit 231.56 mph with a time of 6.675 seconds in the first run on Friday. This was the first run of the bike since its recent additions of revamped clutch parts and other assemblies. Grimes improved in Saturday's first round, 6.541 seconds at 247.29 mph. The second round, scheduled to take place on Saturday, was canceled due to weather. The team placed as the number three qualifier for the day.
"The weather was very cold," Ray Price, team owner, said. "We had potential for making a good pass, but the timers weren't operating properly. Cold weather generates a lot of power, and we were looking forward to turning some good numbers under those conditions."
The cold weather affected momentum, and the team lost first round eliminations on Sunday.
The next race scheduled for the team is April 12-13 at Virginia Motorsports Park in Petersburg, Virginia.
Ray Price, nicknamed "Father of the Funnybike," began his drag racing career in 1967 and became one of the drag racers sponsored by Harley-Davidson for a number of years. Since the accident that ended his riding career in 2003, he has continued to maintain a successful team with the same crew for more than a decade with various riders, having Tommy Grimes as the sole rider in recent years.

Deprivation of growth factors has been shown to induce programmed cell death in many cell types, including mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is an active process of self-destruction which is thought to require the expression of unique genes. Recently, the expression of cell cycle genes such as c-fos and c-myc, and re-entrance to cell cycle traverse, are thought to be necessary to induce programmed cell death. Previous work in this laboratory has shown that statin is a nonproliferation-specific nuclear protein present in the nuclei of young quiescent or senescent human fibroblasts, as well as in growth-arrested mouse 3T3 fibroblasts; we have reported that statin disappears rapidly after the blockage of growth arrest is removed and cells are allowed to resume cell cycle traverse. In this report we address the question of whether cells induced to enter the programmed cell death process also lose the expression of statin. We studied density-arrested quiescent mouse 3T3 cells, which undergo rapid cell death by apoptosis upon serum deprivation. Our results suggest that c-myc expression is induced, as previously reported in other systems of apoptotic death. Interestingly, we also find that statin indeed disappears after the induction of programmed cell death is initiated. These results further support the notion that when apoptosis is induced, cells behave as though released from replication arrest, and experience some part of the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The difference between this event and normal cell cycle traverse is that this experience of the G1 phase in the apoptotic process is an abortive one, with the end result of cell demise.

DeCoste and Demong square off in 5th Plymouth District
Katherine Isbell

NORWELL —With less then three weeks to go until Election Day, State Rep. David DeCoste is knocking on doors and talking to voters as he works to fend off a challenge from a well-funded selectman who won the Democratic nomination with a write-in campaign last month.
Alison Demong, a Norwell Democrat who launched her campaign after Rockland Selectman Deidre Hall dropped her bid for the Democratic nod amid allegations of inappropriate behavior, is looking to unseat Decoste to represent the 5th Plymouth District, which includes Rockland, Hanover and Norwell. Decoste, a Republican, is seeking a third term.
Both candidates have been meeting with voters and community leaders in the lead-up to the Nov. 6 election. Demong said she plans to focus on addressing the opioid crisis and bringing state resources, including tax dollars, to the district.
"I've been meeting with individuals active in their communities because I want to learn the needs of the town because right now we don't have a strong advocate that is fighting to address our goals and needs," Demong said. "I'm trying to get to know as many voters as possible."
DeCoste said he plans to continue to work on traffic issues in the district, including road and bridge issues and traffic studies. His goals also include building on the progress made in the clean-up of the Hanover fireworks site as well as in the fight against the opioid crisis.
"We've passed legislation making it harder for fentanyl to be sold, and if elected next year we will be pursuing more of that," he said.

In addition, DeCoste said that he will also work on tougher punishments for people who kill public safety officers.
"I will be one of the primary representatives on the GOP side in the filing for the resumption of capital punishment for those individuals who murder police officers," he said.
Demong has served on the Norwell Board of Selectmen since 2015 and was re-elected earlier this year. She has lived in Norwell since 2001 and was the first person in her family to go to college, earning a degree in geology and environmental studies from St. Lawrence University and a master's degree in marine affairs from the University of Rhode Island.
DeCoste served on the Norwell Board of Selectmen from 2012 to 2015 and currently serves on the Norwell Permanent Building Maintenance Committee. A Norwell native who attended the town's high school, he served 22 years of active duty with the U.S. Army before retiring in 2009. He received a degree in accounting and finance from Northeastern University, as well as a graduate degree in financial economics from Boston University
Demong started off her campaign with a strong fundraising edge over DeCoste, bringing in $22,560 to his $13,700 by Aug. 17, according to campaign finance reports. She also outspent him $10,103.38 to $5,110.76.

Q: Connecting to swedish Wikipedia to extract information What I need to do is to connect to Wikipedia and extract the text in the area above the list with contents, also if possible the information (see picture below).
There are some options: JWPL, Bliki, JSoup.
I tried Bliki, but couldn't get the information from (see picture) and couldn't change to swedish. JSoup seems fairly easy, however since it's not build specific for wikipedia there isn't any easy way to get the content in the page I'm after.
Using JSoup I can get the HTML document very easy, but can't find out how to get only the part I want as plain text.
 Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm").get();
    Element contentDiv = doc.select("div[id=content]").first();
    System.out.println(contentDiv.toString());

Using this Bliki code return a document formatted in plain text, which is great, however it doesn't include information from the picture below. And MOST important not in swedish, because I don't know how to change that.
String[] listOfTitleStrings = { "Stockholm" };
        User user = new User("", "", "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php");
        user.login();
        List<Page> listOfPages = user.queryContent(listOfTitleStrings);
        PlainTextConverter p = new PlainTextConverter();
        for (Page page : listOfPages) {
            WikiModel wikiModel = new WikiModel("${image}","${title}");
            String text = wikiModel.render(p, page.toString());
            System.out.println(text);
        }

Will be running on Android.
Edit: Maybe I wasn't clear enough that this must work on all wikipedia pages.

A: I doubt you'll get what you're looking for served to just copy-paste. JSoup is HTML parser, you'll have to look up the elements and write according selectors to get their content.
If you're using Chrome, right click on element (text) and select inspect element and once the HTML source opens up, right click on according element and select Copy CSS Path.
For Country (Land), you'll get something like this:
#mw-content-text > table.infobox.geography > tbody > tr:nth-child(5) > td > span > a

Of course this can be shortened, but it doesn't improve performance much and it's going to be a pain if you don't know CSS well enough.
Luckily, JSoup supports CSS selectors, so what you can do after you get according element is:
String countrySelector = "#mw-content-text > table.infobox.geography > tbody > tr:nth-child(5) > td > span > a";

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm").get();
Element countryEl = doc.select(countrySelector).first();
System.out.println(countryEl.toString());

(I'm assuming that code you've provided works correctly)
If you wish to test if selector is correct faster, you can do it directly in Chrome, once you have selector copied, change tab to Console, then use $("selector"), then hit enter, for example:
$("#mw-content-text > table.infobox.geography > tbody > tr:nth-child(5) > td > span > a")

If you need text content of element, you can use $("selector").text().
(You might have noticed that this is some simple jQuery)
But beware, this might easily break if Wikipedia decides to update their DOM layout.

Edit: (adding this after additional explanation in comments)
For selectors to be working on multiple pages, you might want to make them more general.
First thing to select is infobox on the right, best to use table.infobox, but this might still select more than one element. The information you're after is usually in first infobox, so it's easy to select with .first(). If that doesn't work and you don't find the element you're after, you could create fallback to try and find info in all of the infobox elements.
I'm still not sure what exactly you're after, so here's the code you should get when putting above together:
// Set infobox selector (content on the right side of Wiki page)
String tableSelector = "table.infobox";
// Load document
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothenburg").get();
// Select infobox element
Element infoboxEl = doc.select(tableSelector).first();
// Select all table rows inside infobox
Elements tableRows = infoboxEl.select("tr");
for (Element row: tableRows) {
    // Output the title of each row
    System.out.print(row.select("th").text() + ": ");
    // Output conent for that title
    System.out.println(row.select("td").text());
}

Here is example output:

This outputs everything that you can see on the wiki and might not be exactly what you want, as there are missing titles in some cases (marked out as _:). But I think you get the idea how this works and you can use this to filter out what you're looking for.
I would recommend you to use class to save this data and display it in your application later. This way you can easily apply logic which will check if you got all the correct data and if it fails, you could create a fallback to fix it.

Q: Does Manage Signing Key by Google override settings in signingConfigs? I followed the directions here to release my Flutter app. Specifically, I created my own key.jks file and referenced it appropriately from the signingConfigs section in build.gradle. When I uploaded my app to the Play Console, I was given the option to 'Manage Signing Key by Google,' and chose this option. Does this:

*

*override the signing done by signingConfigs?

*if I lose the local key.jks file and use a new key.jks, will my app still function properly since I'm letting Google manage key signing? If the user upgrades, will Android treat this as a new app install?

A: Re "overriding the signing"
It depends how you enrolled in Play Signing (i.e. "Manage signing key by Google").
By default, when you enroll a new app in Play Signing, Play generates a new signing key which it will sign all APKs of your apps with. In that sense, it "overrides" the signature of the APKs you upload to Play Console, yes. In the "App Signing" page of the Play Console, you can find the certificate associated with that key (and its MD5, SHA1, SHA256) in case you need to provide it to some APIs for those APIs to work.
In that scenario, the key you signed the APK with is called the "upload key": it is used only for Play to authenticate that artifact was signed by you. What your end users get is the APK that is re-signed with the "app signing" key (that Google generated).
There is also an advanced option for new apps when you first enroll where you can supply the key that Play signs the APK with. In this case, Play will sign the APKs it serves to users with the key you supplied.
For "existing" apps (i.e. apps that have uploaded APKs before enrolling into Play Signing) to enroll in Play Signing, there is no choice but to supply the key currently used to sign APKs (since users must always receive an APK signed with the same key).
A lot of it is explained in this documentation: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/7384423
Re: if you lose the local key.jks
If you're already enrolled in Play Signing and you lose your keystore, then there will be no impact for your users. You will have to ask Google to reset your upload keystore (after proving your identity) so you can continue uploading APKs or App Bundles, but Play will still hold the key that it uses to sign the APKs served to your users, so there will be no change for your users and they'll see updates as usual.


One look at her, then comparing the "antifascist" cake to her inspiration, begets but a single inquiry: Why is this news?
I'm racist. I hate cops/nazi's and stupid people. She should bake a kill stupid people cake now. If she did I would hire her personally to bake the cake for my future wedding. Good for her. Freedom of speech baby!!!

Influence of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the mechanical and thermal responses of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites
Sridhar Thipperudrappa, Achutha Ullal Kini, Anupama Hiremath
Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal
The present article investigates the effect of incorporation of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in varied weight percentages into glass fiber-reinforced (GFR) epoxy composites through the evaluation of mechanical properties such as flexure strength, impact strength, and ultimate tensile strength of the composite. Thermo-gravimetric analysis for the fabricated composites has been taken up to evaluate the effect of ZnO nanoparticle on the thermal stability of the composite. The ZnO nanoparticle is loaded in different weight percentages ranging from 1 to 5 wt% and is dispersed uniformly in the epoxy resin through ultrasonication method. The required GFR epoxy-ZnO nanocomposites are fabricated through hand layup technique and cured through vacuum bagging method. The analysis of the obtained result indicate that ZnO has a negative impact on the mechanical properties such as flexure and tensile strengths, while it had a positive impact on the impact strength of the GFR epoxy-ZnO nanocomposites. These results indicate that ZnO has a greater affinity with the epoxy resin, which results in increase in matrix-dominated properties. The presence of ZnO nanoparticles result in the reduction of active sites for bond formation between the matrix and the glass fibers which tends to reduce the fiber-dominated properties such as tensile and flexure strength. The thermal responses of GFR epoxy-ZnO nanocomposites increased up to 2 wt% addition of ZnO nanoparticles, while at 5 wt% there was a reduction in the thermal response of the nanocomposite due to an increased steric hindrance.

Four babies, made a lovely nest beside the nestbox. Doing a good job as a first time mom. three black, one chocolate.
Two kits from Varia and Mitch. The kit above is a male. Nice youngster. The kit below is female, she's quite tiny.
Found them quite cold this morning. One was so cold I didn't think he'd make it and I was correct (black). The rest warmed up nicely (chocolate).
three kits born. biggest broken chocolate. middle size chocolate. Peanut chocolate. Peanut won't survive. Trying to help the other two to survive so have brought them in the house for the night.
Varia and Mitch kindled three kits a day early.
Had I known this would happen I would have checked on them early this morning as rain/wind noises can sometimes make good moms slightly idoitic.
Anyways, this morning found three kits scattered in a poorly made nest.
Varia will be rebred to Mitch in a couple of days.

Missing in the US desert: finding the migrants dying on the trail north
Final journey: search and rescue crew mark off an area where human remains have been found in the wilderness near Ajo, Arizona. Photograph: Caitlin O'Hara/Getty Images/The Observer Magazine
Last year, 322 deaths were recorded along the US border with Mexico. The real number could be a lot higher. Alex Hannaford joins volunteers searching for the lost
Alex Hannaford

It's relatively easy to spot bones in the desert. Bleached by the sun and set against the brown, sandy soil that's peppered with sagebrush and mesquite, they almost glow white. Once you start looking it seems they're everywhere. Mostly it'll be a rabbit's skull or the hip bone of a small mammal. Sometimes, though, they'll belong to a human.
On 22 April, there were ribs, a shoulder blade, a clavicle, a piece of vertebrae and a jawbone. There was also a pair of dark-coloured trousers, size 9 Adidas trainers and a yellow wallet with a Tasmanian Devil cartoon on the flap. Inside was a photocopy of an ID card which read: Republica De Honduras. Filadelfo Martinez Gomez. Date of birth: 8 August, 1992.
He died under a tree, most likely of dehydration, on the edge of a dried-out rainwater wash – one of many indents in the sand that snake down from the Growler Mountains here in southern Arizona. He was found 37 miles north east of the Mexican border town of Sonoyta, from where he'd come. There were some other bones scattered 600m to the east – and a skull, two miles west.
This is America's secret graveyard, where families are forbidden from visiting the final resting place of their loved ones, and often don't know they are there at all.
Last year, there were officially 322 deaths along the US border with Mexico. Human remains were found in the deserts and remote ranchland in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. In the past decade there have been 4,205. It's an estimation because these are just those they have recovered. There are probably hundreds more hidden under trees in that scorched Arizona desert alone. All were migrants: men, women and children heading north for a better life, often carrying just the clothes they were wearing.
Filadelfo Martinez Gomez was 22 when he left his home in Honduras with just a change of clothes.
In Sonoyta, migrants are told by the "Coyotes", people-smugglers they pay to help them cross, to "hug the granites" – the mountains that rise from the desert floor in a line northwards. They tell them they'll need two litres of water for a two-day hike to get to the relative safety of the Arizona town of Gila Bend. From there they can hitch a ride on highway 85 north towards Phoenix and beyond. But the migrant trail from Sonoyta to Gila Bend doesn't take two days. It takes 10. And you run out of water long before then.
Until there's a DNA match, the bones found here on 22 April have officially been assigned a case number by the Pima County Sheriff's Department. They probably belong to Filadelfo, but for now he is simply 170422145. According to the postmortem, the cause of his death is undetermined: flesh can tell stories; skeletal remains offer up few clues.
A clue: the ID papers of lost migrant Filadelfo Martinez Gomez are found.
The remains were discovered by Aguilas Del Desierto, the Eagles of the Desert, a group of 20 or so mostly Hispanic men (and some women) who live in California and Arizona. Each month Ely-Marisela Ortiz, who founded the organisation in the summer of 2012, drives the 325 miles from his home in San Diego to the remote Arizona town of Ajo, on the edge of a vast desert wilderness known as Cabeza Prieta – Spanish for "dark head".
For two days Ely's volunteers search on foot in some of the most inhospitable terrain in the United States in the hope they'll find migrants alive so that they can give them water and call for help. Often, though, they'll find their bodies or bones. The only hope they have then is that they can successfully repatriate their remains with their families, giving grieving relatives some kind of closure.
Filadelfo was just 22 in June 2015 when he left his home in San Antonio de Cortez in Honduras. He'd always talked about leaving, but when he finally did he didn't tell his parents he was going. His sister Olga knew; he asked her to make corn tortillas for his trip. "He just had the clothes on his back and a change of clothes in a backpack," she told me over the phone, via an interpreter. "He said he'd buy food and water along the way."
He took a bus to the nearby town of San Pedro Sula, then an overnight bus into Guatemala. From there he walked, hitch-hiked and rode buses, sleeping rough or in immigrant shelters. Every eight days he'd call his family. Eventually he made it to Mexico where he stayed for a year, making several attempts to cross the border, and sending what little money he could back home, including some for his niece, Olga's daughter. That ended the day he walked into the desert of Cabeza Prieta.
The fourth of eight children, Filadelfo grew up in a poor, hilly, rural town in the north west of Honduras. His parents, Francisco Martinez Diaz and Alba Lydia Gomez Jacinto, worked in the cornfields and rice farms, and when Filadelfo wasn't at school he'd help them out, working the land.
He loved listening to ranchera music, playing football with the neighbourhood kids and watching his favourite team, CD Marathón, play in the national league. Olga remembers when he was 10 years old he climbed a tree to cut branches with a machete for firewood when he fell and suffered a small cut on his arm. Olga was cleaning the blood off in the bath when their mother came in, saw the red water, and began screaming. "It was no big deal," she said. "The water made it look worse. But we'd always laugh about that."

When Filadelfo turned 13 he got a job milking cows, but Olga said he didn't think he was making enough money and desperately wanted to help their parents. "He had heard stories people told about going to the US and planned to travel there with friends from San Antonio."
On 18 June 2016, he called home to say he was about to walk into the desert. "I told him not to go; that he was doing fine in Mexico," Olga said. "But he said one of his friends was going and he had decided to help him." Olga choked back tears. "His last words were, 'Take care of our parents,' and he told me if he didn't call within two months, he was dead."
It is just before 6am when I pull into the car park of the Circle K convenience store on the edge of Ajo, Arizona. Soon after, five or six trucks and SUVs arrive with large stickers on the sides saying "Aguilas Del Desierto". Some of the volunteers have driven through the night from California to get here.
Ely-Marisela Ortiz, a quiet, stoic man with thick black hair and moustache, climbs out of a truck and unfurls a map, while volunteers, clutching gas station coffee and energy drinks, gather round. "Today we'll be hiking for about 10 miles, in the shadow of a mountain," Ely tells them in Spanish. "It's going to be hard."
The area they're about to search is vast, encompassing federal land, the Barry M Goldwater military range and the Cabeza Prieta wilderness. The Eagles have received reports from two families saying their loved ones are missing – part of a group abandoned by smugglers 10 months earlier, somewhere along the migrant route between Sonoyta and Gila Bend.
"Always maintain a line of sight with the person to your right and left," Ely says. "If you feel ill, let us know. If we find bones, don't touch them. It is forensic evidence. If you see cartel members, don't interact with them. If we find migrants alive, don't crowd them."

For Ely, sending his team to search this particular route brings back painful memories. In the summer of 2010 the remains of his brother, Rigoberto, and cousin, Carmelo, were found here after they were both left behind in the desert by people smugglers. Rigoberto, an undocumented immigrant, was deported from the US, forced to leave his wife and children behind in Oceanside, California. The summer he lost his life he was trying to return to them.
Ely asked for help finding them from the Mexican consulate, immigration officials and human rights organisations, but he says no help came. Ultimately, it was a group like his who found them. Afterwards, Ely volunteered with that organisation before starting his own in order to put more boots on the ground.
He doesn't take part in the searches any more, instead planning routes, raising money, and waiting with the trucks in case of an emergency. Last year he suffered from heat exhaustion out in the desert. "I thought about my brother at that moment," he tells me. "I realised that was the same way he went, and at that point I knew the agony they felt at those last moments; when your body doesn't respond any more you can't take one more step."
We drive along a dirt road for a few miles. Dust flies up from the truck tyres and for most of the journey we can't see more than 10ft in front of us. We park at the side of the track and most of the volunteers grab walking sticks and put on yellow high-visibility jackets and snake gaiters – thick strips of canvas fastened around the ankles to absorb any bites from rattlers.
We begin walking, 20 volunteers, each 50 yards apart – an army of yellow fanning out across the silent, scorching desert. A lizard darts across the rocks as we pick our way across bullet casings and exploded ordinance on the military range, round ironwood trees and thorny mesquite. When we stop to rest, we have to sit on backpacks as the ground is rife with minuscule thorns that stick in your skin. I look around; this is the last thing Filadelfo would have seen.
A few months ago one of the volunteers found a mobile phone in the desert, near four different piles of human remains. "It was dusty but when we got home we managed to charge it up and it turned on," José Genis, one of the organisers, tells me. There was no pass code and José discovered that the last number dialled was 911 – the call lasted 11 minutes. Eventually they got the recording of that phone call from police. José starts to well up. "I'm sorry. This is hard for me. The man was on the phone asking for water in Spanish, telling the operator he was dying. They forwarded the call to border patrol who told me they went out to search but couldn't find him."
Roberto Resendiz, a volunteer from near San Diego, radios to say he's found something. When we get there there's no mistaking what it is: a human skull. Roberto pulls two pieces of wood from his backpack, and a length of ribbon. He fashions a small cross and pushes it into the ground. Another volunteer seals off the area with tape while someone else snaps photographs of the scene. José pulls up the coordinates on a GPS unit and writes them down to send to the medical examiner later.

Within minutes, someone else radios to say they've found more remains, just 60m away. As I approach, the stench is strong. There's a hip bone, bits of femur, a sock and some scraps of clothing. Under a nearby mesquite tree is a pair of black trainers, two water bottles and several pieces of ribcage. "It looks like an animal dragged him – probably a coyote," someone says. Next to that is some charred desert grass; it's likely he set it on fire so he could be found.
José calls me over. He's found an ID card: Dennis Nunez, born 1986 in Honduras. Tomorrow, another volunteer, Cesar Ortigoza, will post a photograph of Dennis's ID card on the Eagles' Facebook page. He did the same with Filadelfo's ID in April. Within five minutes, 200 people had shared the image. Within 24 hours, it had been seen by 1,500 people, one of whom posted it on the Facebook page for the tiny town of San Antonio de Cortés where Filadelfo lived. Then Filadelfo's family got in touch.
One of the volunteers, Jason Bechtel, suddenly feels faint and almost passes out from heat exhaustion. He's made to lie on a stretcher and we carry him to a shaded spot where José straps a portable blood pressure machine to his arm. It illustrates just how quickly and savagely you can succumb to the desert heat.
"Otra muerte," one of the volunteers shouts. I understand barely any Spanish, but I know what it means: another death. A few metres away, lying under a creosote bush, next to a pair of trainers and two water bottles, is the body of a man. He's probably been dead a week. His rib cage protrudes from what's left of the skin on his chest; his black hair is still intact.
Flies hover around the cavity in his chest and the smell is unbearable. José cuts down the branch of tree so he can better access the body. He puts on a pair of rubber gloves, pulls his scarf up over his nose and mouth, and bends down on one knee to begin searching in the man's pockets for identification, but there is none. "Tell the British people that for some this is the end of the American dream, right here," one volunteer, Pedro Fajardo, tells me.
Olga said Filadelfo's family waited every day for his call. When a month passed and they'd heard nothing, she began to get really worried. "After two months I just kept hearing the words he had said and I knew he had died." They are still awaiting the results of the DNA test by the Pima County Medical Examiner. But they are sure it's him. "We feel liberated because we know now," she said. "Having an answer is easier. It means a lot to be able to bury him in his home town of San Antonio."
Back in the desert the sun sets once more on America's secret graveyard. Soon, the coyotes will emerge from their dens and more migrants will attempt to hug the granites and reach Gila Bend.

Indianapolis man sentenced to 50 years in July 2018 east-side gas station fatal shooting
Rashika Jaipuriar
Update: Tedford on June 25 was sentenced to 50 years in prison in Cameron's shooting death, the Marion County Prosecutor announced Monday. Tedford earlier this month was charged with murder in the jail killing of another man, Martin Cruz.
A man has been convicted of murder in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old JeShon Cameron.
On July 16, 2018, Gamron Tedford shot Cameron multiple times from close range at a gas station on the 2900 block of Mitthoeffer Road. A jury found Tedford guilty of murder Wednesday night after a three-day trial, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears announced Thursday. A sentencing hearing for the 22-year-old will take place May 28 at 2:30 p.m.
'Something you can't prepare for':Family mourns loss of JeShon Cameron
Nearly three years ago, police officers responded to the eastside gas station and found Cameron in a vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Cameron and another witness planned to meet Tedford at the gas station, when Tedford entered the vehicle, pulled out a handgun, and said, "Don't move. You know what this is," the prosecutor's office said.
When Cameron began to move, Tedford shot him seven times before fleeing.
That same day, Tedford was dropped off at an area hospital with gunshot wounds.

For decades, evolutionists had argued that a child developing within the womb of his mother passed through stages of development that summarized the evolution of mankind, from fish-like creatures to the mature development of the human being. Evolutionists argued that, in the earliest stages of development within the womb, a child possessed physical features that were completely unnecessary to human development and only reflected stages through which the human race had passed in its evolutionary development. Such arguments were used for many decades by evolutionists when called upon to provide expert witness in courts of law. For them, what was in the womb was not truly human until very late in a woman's pregnancy. Like all of the fallacies related to evolution, their theory of human origin within the womb has proven deadly for millions of unborn children. Unwilling to be guided by true science, evolutionists denied the importance of critical features of human embryo development and have labeled them as "vestiges" of evolutionary development.
Evolutionists, like many physicians, have been misled concerning the importance of seemingly insignificant elements of the human anatomy. Not so many years ago, doctors believed that tonsils were vestiges or leftovers from evolution and were completely useless. More informed science and medical practices now clearly demonstrate their importance.[1] Being mislead by inferior science that supported opinions rather than facts, evolutionists have been messengers of misinformation. The facts demonstrate that the so-called evolutionary vestiges of the human embryo are not useless vestiges at all, but vital components for the survival of the child in the womb in its development.

Pharyngeal Pouches (Gill Slits)
Blood-Forming Sac (Yolk Sac)
Coccyx (Tail)
Important Elements
Human Embryo (Click)
At one month, wrinkles in the skin of the human embryo may be observed at the front of neck where the "throat pouches" grow out as the embryo matures. Evolutionists historically referred to these wrinkles in the skin as "gills" or "gill slits" and were regarded as proof of human evolution. Evolutionists believed and taught that the embryo passed through phases of development that reflected human evolution that transpired over millions of years. Historically, they argued that development in the womb was an abbreviated form of evolution with some of the features that were believed to characterize those long periods of human evolution. The folds or wrinkles in the area of the throat of the human embryo were believed, by evolutionists, to reflect the era when human development had only progressed to the form of a fish.[2] What evolutionists saw as symbols of the past, they regarded as useless vestiges.
What evolutionists have termed "gills" or "gill slits" in the human embryo are known as pharyngeal pouches[3] and are highly important to the development of the embryo. From these pouches, essential parts of the human anatomy develop. From the first pouch, the palatine tonsils form as important components in fighting disease. From the second pouch, the middle ear canals develop, and from the third and fourth pouches develop the parathyroid and thymus glands. Dispelling the error and misinformation of evolution with truth, one can hardly say that the throat pouches of the human embryo are "useless vestiges."[4]
In the lower extremities of the human embryo resides a tiny, yet important, sac. In chickens, the yoke contains the food that a fertilized egg needs to support the life of the growing chick. But human embryos grow from a food source supplied directly from the mother. If this is the case, it would appear that the "yolk sac" in the human embryo is unnecessary, in which case, the evolutionists may be right. Perish the thought! No, in this matter, the historic position of evolutionist is once again incorrect!
In adult human beings, blood cells are formed inside the bone marrow. In this way, the bone offers protection to blood cells that are very sensitive to radiation damage. But in the human embryo, a blood supply is needed when bones develop to form the bone marrow. In turn, the bone marrow will form the blood cells necessary for the developing child. The blood necessary to start this vital process is contained in the blood-forming sac . After it has served this temporary—but vital—function, the sac is easily discarded. Far from being a useless vestige, the blood-forming sac is necessary to the life and development of the human embryo.
Sacrum and Coccyx
The third and last organ of the human embryo dubbed to be a useless vestige by evolutionists is the coccyx, which they call a "tail." Given the fact that the theory of evolution suggests that in the distant past, ancestors of the human race did have tails, the advocates of this theory have regarded another lower appendage of the embryo to be evidence of their theory. But rather than being a useless organ, suggestive of haphazard mindless development, the coccyx or "tail" demonstrates the greatest of forethought and design. Indeed, it demonstrates the reality of a Creator.
The coccyx is one of the most important bones in the entire body. Anyone who had fallen to the ground and struck the tailbone realizes how important the tail of the spine is. At the very end of the spine are the sacrum and coccyx. The latter of these two bones is exposed in the human embryo, but throughout the development of the child in the womb, provides for one of the most distinguishing features of humanity—walking upright. In the embryo, the coccyx forms a point of muscle attachment necessary to walk upright and also to expel waste from the body. As early as one month, the coccyx may be seen in a human embryo. It is exposed because muscles and limbs have not yet been developed—something that will not occur until stimulated by the spine. As the spine grows, it is enveloped by the legs, resulting in the coccyx being encased within the body. Far from a "useless vestige"!
In the womb, the human embryo does not pass through an abbreviated evolutionary development. Rather, every aspect of this growing child suggests that he is not a matter of random chance, but a well-designed creation whose Creator was meticulous in his formation and the formation of the universe. There is nothing in the development of the human embryo that suggests chance, but rather miraculous design.
America and the world have been deceived by the charlatan claims of evolution and its advocates. At least Charles Darwin was honest enough in his Origin of Species (1859) to acknowledge that he did not have the evidence to support the theory, but he hoped succeeding generations would be successful where he had failed. Evolution has never had the evidence to support its wild and imaginative claims. In 1972, evolutionists Niles Eldredge and Stephen J. Gould publish their thought on evolution, insisting that Darwin's gradual evolutionary theory never did have the evidence to support it claims.[5] Rather than chance, the human embryo and all of creation demonstrates the extreme involvement of a loving Creator.
