Indeed we appear to have a choice between our true destiny, the Mission of our Soul, and the "ordinary life", the downward way of denial, fear and dispersion into the inane.

Wrong choices cut us off from the very source of life, from our original oneness with all and with the Divine, thereof reinforcing even further the sense of separation suffocating us.
What do YOU say to the Lord?
Do you still feel that whatever happens is your concern?
When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons.
In vital matters; however in the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves.
I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature.
Which are the deep inner needs of your nature?
not the cravings of our ego.

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.
How good, or not good, are you at letting go?
Is this really the most important choice?
If not, which is the most important one?
In which universe do you live?
I make all my decisions on intuition.
I throw a spear into the darkness. That is intuition.
What does the spear represent?
our Inner Warrior is enough.
How can we find the spear?

Is your choice always in accord with the Divine's?
What makes you think that your choices are better than the ones that He could make for you?

Almost everyone looks only, or almost only, after his own interests, the ones of his family, or at best those of the religion or system of belief that he has identified himself with.

The issue of choice concerned Vijay a lot already when he was a child playing chess, where almost every move leads to a completely different game.
He was aware that In chess his choice would only make him win or lose the game but the road that he chose at an intersection might well determine whether he would, say, find a bookshop with a book he really needed to read, or even meet or not an important person in his life.

At every minute one has to choose, this is indispensable, and infinitely more so than choosing once for all between cleanliness and dirt, whether moral or physical.

Sri Aurobindo says you must choose, and the choice is constantly put before you, and if you do not choose, well, you do not advance.
You must choose; there is no "force like that" which chooses for you, or chance or luck or fate – this is not true. Your will is free; it is deliberately left free and you have to choose.
it is you who choose. It is you who must want to do it.
Darkness and light cannot coexist and never will.
Love, Ecstasy and Vision always abide.


Picture - Two T-33s from the 95th Fighter Interceptor Training Squadron in flight near Tyndall AFB, Florida. The farther aircraft has been repainted and renumbered in anticipation of its delivery to the Mexican air force.
The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star is an American-built jet trainer aircraft. It was produced by Lockheed and made its first flight in 1948, piloted by Tony LeVier. The T-33 was developed from the Lockheed P-80/F-80 starting as TP-80C/TF-80C in development, then designated T-33A. It was used by the U.S. Navy initially as TO-2 then TV-2, and after 1962, T-33B. Despite its vintage, the venerable T-33 still remains in service worldwide.
Originally designated the TF-80C, the T-33 made its first flight on 22 March 1948 with US production taking place from 1948 to 1959. The US Navy used the T-33 as a land-based trainer starting in 1949. It was designated the TV-2, but was redesignated the T-33B in 1962. The Navy operated some ex-USAF P-80Cs as the TO-1, changed to the TV-1 about a year later. A carrier-capable version of the P-80/T-33 family was subsequently developed by Lockheed, eventually leading to the late 1950s to 1970s T2V-1/T-1A SeaStar. A total of 6,557 Shooting Stars were produced, 5,691 by Lockheed.
The two-place T-33 proved suitable as an advanced trainer, and it has been used for such tasks as drone director and target towing. The U.S. Air Force began phasing the T-33 out of front line pilot training duties in the Air Training Command in the early 1960s as the T-37 Tweet and T-38 Talon aircraft began replacing it under the Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) construct. Similar replacement also occurred in the U.S. Navy with the TV-1 (also renamed T-33 in 1962) as more advanced aircraft such as the T-2 Buckeye came on line. USAF and USN versions of the T-33 soldiered on into the 1970s and 1980s with USAF and USN as utility aircraft and proficiency trainers, with some of the former USN aircraft being expended as full scale aerial targets for air-to-air missile tests from naval aircraft and surface-to-air missile tests from naval vessels. Several T-33s were assigned to USAF F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger and F-106 Delta Dart units, to include similarly equipped Air National Guard units, of the Aerospace Defense Command as proficiency trainers and practice "bogey" aircraft. Others later went to Tactical Air Command and TAC-gained Air National Guard F-106 and F-4 Phantom II units in a similar role until they were finally retired.
Some T-33s retained two machine guns for gunnery training, and in some countries, the T-33 was even employed as a combat aircraft: the Cuban Air Force used them during the Bay of Pigs Invasion, scoring several kills. The RT-33A version, reconnaissance aircraft produced primarily for use by foreign countries, had a camera installed in the nose and additional equipment in the rear cockpit. T-33s continued to fly as currency trainers, drone towing, combat and tactical simulation training, "hack" aircraft, electronic countermeasures and warfare training and test platforms right into the 1980s.
The T-33 has served with over 30 nations, and continues to operate as a trainer in smaller air forces. Canadair built 656 T-33s on licence for service in the RCAF - Canadian Forces as the CT-133 Silver Star while Kawasaki manufactured 210 in Japan. Other operators included Brazil, Turkey and Thailand which used the T-33 extensively.
In the 1980s, an attempt was made to modify and modernize the T-33 as the Boeing Skyfox, but a lack of orders led to the cancellation of the project. About 70% of the T-33s airframe was retained in the Skyfox, but it was powered by two Garrett AiResearch TFE731-3A turbofan engines.

In the late 1990s, 18 T-33 Mk-III and T-33 SF-SC from the Bolivian Air Force went to Canada to be modernized at Kelowna Flightcraft. New avionics were installed, and detailed inspection and renewal of the fuselage and wings were performed. Most of the aircraft returned in early 2001 and remain operational.
A limited number of T-33s have found their way into private hands; some current owners: Michael Dorn of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame, Canadair T-33. and northern California based Greg Colyer of the T33 Heritage Foundation who operates a Canadair CT-33 Silver Star monikered "Ace Maker".
On 6 September 2006, Imperial War Museum Duxford's Canadair T-33 (G-TBRD), owned by the Golden Apple Trust, was destroyed in a takeoff accident; the crew survived. G-TBRD was the first jet warbird to be operated from Duxford, arriving in 1975; it was originally registered as G-OAHB.
In 2008, several T-33s in storage at CFB Mountain View, an old World War II era RCAF base south of Trenton, Ontario, were sold to various private collectors. Six airplanes were purchased by a newly formed museum out of London, Ontario, called the Jet Aircraft Museum (JAM), associated with the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association, which purchased the aircraft on behalf of JAM. The six airplanes, formerly designated #133346, now C-FUPM; #133500, now C-FUPO; and #133573, now C-FUPP, as well as #133052, #133263 and #133441, will be flown in airshows and for memorials across Canada and in parts of the USA. Other T-33s have also been sold to various US and Canadian buyers.

Unbeatable on value, the Triton delivers more than it promises on paper.
MITSUBISHI'S Triton 4x4 is the big mover at the pointy end of the top 10, despite remaining in third place overall and still a long way behind the two runaway leaders in Hilux and Ranger.
That said, Triton sales are up nearly 20 per cent without Mitsubishi doing much more than a mild tweak of the line-up, which, among other changes, has seen the introduction of the Blackline dual-cab.
The sales success has much to do with its sharp pricing and ongoing factory discounting, with driveaway prices on the popular dual-cab variants sitting well below other mainstream utes and bettered only by the Indian and Chinese offerings. Dual-cabs make up 11,570 of the 12,127 Triton 4x4s sold (more than 95 per cent) while autos make up 73 per cent of all 4x4 sales.
The Triton stands out among the current crop of 4x4 utes in a number of ways. One is the full-time 4x4 of GLS and Exceed models thanks to Mitsubishi's Super Select system. Full-time 4x4 adds greatly to the Triton's functionality, driveability and safety under most driving conditions and stands it apart from all of its competitors bar the Amarok.
Super Select also has a 2WD mode, so it's different again from a conventional full-time system. Unfortunately, Super Select doesn't make the Triton a gun off-road ute, but that's all to do with its modest suspension travel and ground clearance and nothing to do with the system.
The Triton is also a small ute by class standards in cabin size, payloads and towing capacity. The fact that most of the tray of the dual-cab overhangs the rear axle is also a negative for carrying or towing heavy loads; although, the 2.4-litre diesel holds up its end, even if the chassis layout isn't ideal.
One positive here is that the Triton is more manoeuvrable than others in its class thanks to a relatively short wheelbase, and it also has a sporty feel to the way it steers and handles thanks in part to also being lighter than most competitors.
or as good as a work ute as others.
*Scored against class competitors. A = Excellent; B = Very Good; C = Good; D = Fair; E = Poor; F = Fail.

Q: Hadoop Resource Manager ip address from namenode I am trying to find out the cluster info for hadoop management, using http://hadoop-namenode-address:50070/jmx. I managed to get the list of datanodes in the cluster but couldn't get info about secondary namenode, resourcemanager and nodemanager IP addresses.
Is there any way to find it out from the namenode, using REST API?

A: You cannot get information about the secondary namenode, resource manager and node managers from the namenode. The namenode only knows about datanodes.  While all of these servers are part of Hadoop, the resource manager and node managers are the compute part while the namenode, secondary namenode and datanodes are the data part and both can be run independently of each other.
If you're using either Cloudera Manager, or Ambari you can use their respective APIs to identify the services you need or (as @philantrovert suggested)
scrape the configs from the Hadoop xmls (hdfs-site.xml and yarn-site.xml).

Group B: China PR 2-6 UAE
Pattaya: United Arab Emirates booked their place in the AFC Beach Soccer Championship Thailand 2019 quarter-finals with a game to spare, recovering from a slow start to defeat China PR 6-2 on Saturday.
Abbas Ali scored twice for Mohamed Almaazmi's side, who will now face Lebanon to determine the Group B winners on Monday.
The result also means China PR cannot advance to the knockout stage, rendering their final group stage match against also-eliminated Kyrgyz Republic a battle for pride.
UAE came into the contest as solid favourites, but it was China who exploded out of the blocks, showing their intent from the moment Han Xuegeng hit the upright from the kick-off.
Their efforts were rewarded when Guo Xuchenjiao found space to calmly put the ball into the back of the Emirati net and give Amarelle's side a surprise third-minute lead; one which could have been extended had Bai Fan's effort found the net instead of clipping the post a minute later.
The UAE had been slow to get going, but they began to assert their authority by forcing Han Yingnan into several saves, before taking control of the game with two goals in less than a minute.
First Ali Karim got the final touch after Hesham Al Muntser lobbed the ball over Han, then Abbas Ali caressed a free-kick into the top corner to make it 2-1 to the UAE in the ninth minute.
The second stanza was physical and, at times, chaotic, with Ali hitting the post and Han denying Ahmed Beshr in some of the standout moments, but an error from Liu Haoran cost China dear in the final minute of the period, as Ali robbed him of possession before finding the back of the net to give the UAE the biggest lead of the match so far.
The writing was on the wall for China when Walid Mohammad headed in Ali Mohammad's precise 26th-minute corner kick, and Kamal further underlined his side's superiority when he flicked home a long throw to make it 5-1 with six minutes remaining.
A late injury to Han further dampened China's mood, before Beshr flicked in UAE's sixth goal in the 32nd minute, and although Liu Yisi did pull back a late consolation, it was clearly the UAE's night.
Mohammed Almaazmi, UAE head coach
"I'd like to thank my players for this match, I think about China and they are coming for this match with nothing to lose, so this match was really tough today. I'm just thinking about the win, and I'm happy with it."
Ramiro Amarelle, China PR head coach
"I think today we did a better performance than the first game. They are a World Cup team. We knew about their quality, their capacity and their level, but we wanted to show that we have improved. We wanted to press and bring a good rhythm, and not let them do their best skills. They have not just a good Asian level, but in the world. This team is amazing and it's great pleasure for us to play against them."

Richard Brody
"I, Tonya," Reviewed: A Condescending Bio-pic of Tonya Harding
By Richard Brody
Craig Gillespie's movie, starring Margot Robbie, attempts to create an empathetic depiction of the disgraced figure skater but ends up as derisive as the world has been.Photograph by 30West / Everett
Hollywood has two main ways of depicting working-class characters: as sullen, silent strugglers, or as loud, laughable vulgarians. Craig Gillespie's "I, Tonya," which opens tomorrow, takes mainly the second path, and that approach, that failure to find an original and personal tone, undercuts and counteracts the movie's main merit—its empathetic depiction of Tonya Harding, the Olympic figure skater who, in 1994, was involved in a plot to harm her main rival, Nancy Kerrigan.
The filmmakers are upfront—in title cards—about basing the film on interviews with the real-life Harding and her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, and about the differing points of view on the events that the drama will present. The film begins, ends, and is punctuated by faux interviews with the main characters, who discuss their conflicting accounts of what happened or might have happened and their divergent points of view about those events. Gillespie in effect films the entire action as hypotheticals, in a cinematic conditional mood that's emphasized throughout the film both by the interpolated staged interviews and by characters' asides to the camera, addressing the viewer with winking interpretations of the actions in progress.
The drama starts in Tonya's childhood, in Portland, Oregon, in the mid-nineteen-seventies. She's being raised by her single mother, LaVona (Allison Janney), a fast-talking, smart, lifeworn, and embittered waitress, who brings Tonya, who is not quite four years old and has already displayed talent and passion for skating, to the local rink for rigorous training, in the hope that she might eventually make the Ice Capades. But LaVona's idea of tough love appears to be tougher than it is loving. In Gillespie's telling, Tonya (played as an adult by Margot Robbie, who also co-produced the film) was abused by LaVona both as a child and as an adult. But the film shows LaVona beating Tonya with a hairbrush (only once, LaVona chimes in), slapping and pummelling her, verbally berating her (LaVona claims that Tonya skates better angry), preventing the child from leaving the ice to pee. Then, during a fight with the teen-age Tonya, LaVona is depicted as throwing first a glass at her and then a knife, which pierces her arm.
Meanwhile, Tonya wins prizes in figure-skating competitions and rises through the ranks of the field. The unpampered, rugged, rustic Tonya also chops wood, fixes cars, and holds tough manual-labor jobs. Her athletic ascension is presented (to the extent that it's presented at all) as a sort of tunnel-vision monomania, the work of a furious virtuosa whose physical strength, athleticism, and skill have no balance in education or experience. (She quit high school in order to devote herself to skating.) She competes under her mother's iron grip and before her iron gaze, and endures her mother's fiercely partisan, loud, raucous, and uninhibitedly crude advocacy on her behalf from the stands. LaVona is depicted as becoming both a terror and an embarrassment, and Tonya, while still a teen-ager, makes her break, leaving—as the movie tells it—the frying pan for the fire.
At fifteen, at her local rink, she meets Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian Stan), who was about eighteen and was there with his best friend, Shawn Eckardt (Paul Walter Hauser). She begins to date Jeff, and Jeff, too, is depicted in the film as physically abusive: he beats her, repeatedly; he mashes her head against a wall; she takes out a restraining order against him. At the age of eighteen, she marries Jeff, then leaves him, then reconciles with him; he slams a car door on her hand (in the film, Jeff denies doing this); he threatens her, and then himself, with a gun—and then shoots her, resulting in a flesh wound to her face.
Gillespie's flashy camera moves on and off the ice, his slick and rapid editing tricks, and his intercutting of interviews and asides don't provide perspective but rather amusement, even diversion, distracting from what's actually a crucial and anguished subject of the movie, the abuse that Tonya endures. But Gillespie plays it for comedy; what he approaches with some measure of earnestness is the aftermath—Tonya's effort to conceal a facial bruise before a competition, her complicity with Jeff in helping him avoid arrest for shooting her.
While becoming a skating star, the first American woman (the movie dwells on this point) to complete a triple axel, Tonya endures yet another form of abuse, not physical but systemic: the American ice-skating establishment, in the person of the judges it employs to score competitions, discriminates against Tonya on the basis of her background and her manners, to reinforce the sport's genteel and, as one judge says, "wholesome" self-image.
Yet the movie perpetuates the very condescension that it purports to condemn: it treats Tonya's background, her tastes, her habits, her way of talking, as a joke. It may think it's laughing with her, but Tonya's not laughing. For that matter, Tonya's not doing much of anything except skating. Halfway through the film, after she delivers unsatisfying results at the 1992 Winter Olympics, in Albertville, France (Tonya blames a broken skate, but the movie, in a rapid, almost flash-frame montage, suggests that she has been partying too hard, eating and drinking too much, gaining weight, and getting out of shape), and is preparing for a comeback (at twenty-three) in the 1994 Olympics, in Lillehammer, Norway, the infamous story gets under way, the one that has made the real-life Harding notorious.
"I, Tonya" goes into intricate detail regarding the attack on Harding's principal rival, Nancy Kerrigan, who was struck on the knee with a metal rod just before matching up against Harding in a competition in Detroit prior to the Olympics. The movie shows the nature of Tonya's involvement—and noninvolvement. I won't spoil the twist, but here, too, she is revealed to be the victim of self-serving people close to her. The walls of law enforcement close in on Tonya, and her bewilderment at the devastating and irreparable consequences of her bad associations offers a touch of pathos that most of the movie, depicting horrors, deflects.
Yet the movie shies away from Tonya's actual identity, temperament, culture, activities, and tastes. Her work as a fork-lift operator and a welder is a tossed-off line of dialogue; her interests are undefined; her ostensible lack of refinement is merely a matter of her loud voice and salty vocabulary; her relationships are utterly vague, as is her wider network of interactions, of friends and relatives and colleagues and rivals. Gillespie never sees Tonya as a person but as a character in a drama, reduced to her function in her own story. The movie delivers more of the culture and mental life of the secondary character of Shawn, the delusional braggart who serves as Tonya's bodyguard and claims to be an internationally acclaimed counterterrorism expert. Gillespie stages his empathy for Tonya at arm's length; he fails to respond to her experience in a direct, personal way. The result is a film that's as derisive and dismissive toward Tonya Harding as it shows the world at large to have been.

'LEGO Batman Movie' too gay for children according to conservative groups
Smart insights, hilarious jokes give animated comedy 'Lego Batman ... - dailyherald.com
Conservative group criticizes 'LEGO Batman Movie' for two dads storyline and Joker relationship
by Shawn Lealos
February 25, 2017 at 2:41 AM Sat 25 Feb 2017 02:41:46 AM EST
One of the most entertaining movies of 2017 so far is the "LEGO Batman Movie." The film took the character introduced in "The LEGO Movie" and allowed him to run free in his own world while introducing just about every character in the Batman universe.
However, the conservative group LifeSiteNews is cautioning parents that the movie is full of "pro-gay propaganda" and is attempting to indoctrinate children into gender ideology. Those words basically mean that this group is accusing the movie of trying to convert children.
LEGO Batman and Robin
The first complaint about the movie is one that actually added a lot of heart to the movie. Robin is Dick Greyson, a child whose parents died and he then lived in a children's orphanage. He convinces Bruce Wayne to adopt him and then gets very happy when he learns that Bruce Wayne lives in Batman's attic. He excitedly says that he went from having no dad to having two dads.
According to the conservative watch site, the relationship between Dick and Bruce will have kids asking "awkward questions" about why it is so good to have two dads. Instead of seeing this as an orphan finally finding a home, the critic blasted the idea of having two dads instead of a typical family unit.
LEGO Batman and Joker
Next up is the "bromance" between Batman and Joker. The comedy from this came with Joker wanting to be Batman's main arch-enemy but Batman saying he fights around. The entire conceit comes into play when the movie shows that LEGO Batman has an affinity for chick flicks and this entire relationship with Joker comes straight from that genre.
Instead of seeing the humor in that, the conservative site states that Batman broke up with the Joker and that the two need to re-create their relationship to create a new family unit.
LEGO Batman and his grown-up jokes about Robin
Finally, the conservative watch site didn't think the jokes in "The lego batman movie" were funny and were just subliminal messages to push its pro-gay ideology. According to the site, the joke where Richard Greyson said that kids call him "dick," Bruce Wayne says kids can be cruel. While that was a funny joke, the site points out the "anatomical joke."

After near-misses, can you stop an elderly parent from driving?
On behalf of Chayet & Danzo, LLC on Thursday, January 24, 2019.
Recently Prince Philip, the 97-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II, rolled his Land Rover in a crash with an oncoming minivan. Luckily, no one in either vehicle was seriously injured. He told the responding police that the sun had blinded him.
While it was uncertain who was at fault, a photograph several days later showed him driving another vehicle without a seat belt. The story brings up a tough question: When should you ask an aging loved one to surrender his or her keys? Independence in Colorado is often tied to driving, especially in spread-out suburban and rural communities.
When do driving skills begin to deteriorate?
The likelihood of a driver to die in a Colorado car crash follows a U-curve. On the bar chart, young and old drivers are at the greatest risk. Young drivers are less experienced and tend to be more reckless, while older drivers have slower reflexes, take more medications and may suffer from vision impairment.
At what age does the decline become most apparent? Using 2017 data from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) database, 80-85 is a pivotal page range when driver death rates significantly increase.
And an interesting side note from a American Council on Science and Health blog, the country's best drivers tend to be women between 35 and 75 who live in the Northeast. Colorado is likely somewhere in the middle, but at least did not get a worst mention.
Colorado requires people over 61 to renew their driver's licenses every five years. Generally, drivers can renew electronically or by mail. That changes at the age of 66, when a driver must include a vision test result from within six months to renew by mail.
Short of calling the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), what can you do when an elderly parent or friend has shown concerning signs? A conversation is a start, but it doesn't always lead to change. One woman's mother promised not to drive and signed up for a bus service, but a check of the odometer showed something different.
One way to avoid constant nagging is to loop in a doctor. In Colorado, physicians may report potentially unsafe drivers to the DMV based on an exam. They can also spend more time educating a patient about medication side effects that might interfere with driving abilities.
You do not want to wait for a crash. When red flags start to emerge, it might be wise to seek advice from an elder law attorney. Because they handle these issues frequently, they will have ideas to address the situation without you having to steal the keys or break into a garage to disable the engine.


A lot of people think my wardrobe is pure black. Whilst this is partly true, I do house about 25% of colour in my closet. These lace shorts have helped to bulk that percentage up. I picked them up whilst in London last month. In hindsight they are a little shorter than I'd like - so they're probably more nighttime shorts than daytime. They were also a bargain at less than £20. I do however prefer the US Forever 21 to the UK version over here - it just seems to have better stock. It may also be that the only American Forever 21 store I've been in is in New York City, and I am just a little bit smitten with the Big Apple.


Internet of Things (IoT) has become highly progressing sector accounting for maximum share in the global IoT spending and is responsible for many IT trends in the enterprise. Hence, from this, we can infer that a network of connected devices can be highly beneficial to enterprises. Numerous organizations across several industries are embracing IoT. Let's have a look at seven use cases of IoT within various sectors.
In this sector, the possibilities with IoT are endless as IoT-enabled medical devices have taken the industry by storm. As every technology has its own sets of pros and cons, the benefits of IoT outweigh all the negative factors. IoT is also the reason behind telemedicine wherein medical professionals can stay in contact and monitor their long-distance patients. Moreover, this technology is adding on to the sector by tracking patients and staff and is also being used to reduce the waiting time in emergency rooms.
The restaurateurs stand to profit enormously with the introduction of IoT in this sector. The industry will adopt IoT to streamline communication, improve staff safety and also lower the costs. Smart refrigerators can be used to monitor the quality of the food and also smart ovens can determine when parts need to be replaced.
Education industry stands to benefit from the diverse offering of IoT. Schools are embracing IoT to enhance more interactive web-based learning so that students can explore knowledge beyond textbooks. Educators are using it for other purposes like storing student information such as grades, and attendance. Moreover, this technology is helping in warning students regarding any potential emergencies.
IoT has a significant impact on the finance and banking. sector as the latter deals with massive data transfer, gathering, and analysis of data. It helps an organization to save consumer time and work more smartly. IoT is aiding banking sector starting from an increase in revenue to better client services. Banks are also experimenting with the IoT- enabled security systems, in ATMs to prevent theft. This innovation can also gather additional information about customers and how to provide more personalized offers.
Energy companies are moving towards leveraging smart grids that can enhance security, capture data, and analytics, and also allow for faster restoration after power failures. Moreover, these smart grids can lower carbon footprint by managing the energy consumption and can also reduce the use of carbon emissions.
IoT has transformed the way retail industry functions. The new automated checkout capabilities have helped in decreasing the time employees have spent as a cashier and instead allow them to focus more on business needs and opportunities. IoT-enabled shelves are also in use which tells which products are running low, and also determines if an item has been misplaced. It is helping workers to be more productive in their job and reduce labor costs as well.
Manufacturing industry potentially serves as one of the best examples for IoT adoption. Manufacturers are using IoT to monitor the production flow during the process and are also able to track all the events across a supply chain. Inventory is traced for each component, and the data collected from these IoT devices allows these manufacturers to have a check on the quality of items.


Austin's own Moosiegirl, The Outlaw and TreyB are included in a series of reports about geocaching. The reports are not entirely negative, but they certainly covered all of the bases with regard to potential conflicts (private property, illegal off-trail wanderings, banned in National Parks, etc). And strangely, they saw a need to mention addiction an unnatural number of times. Not the admission of addiction that we all playfully offer up to each other, but hinting at something serious. I was surprised that they didn't flash an addiction hotline number on the screen!
The Austin group gave a good accounting for the sport, in particular by the demonstration of the "Cache In, Trash out" ethic. Some of the last footage shows a good amount of trash collected in the area.


Buy a new mobiliser on ebay and marry it to your car.
It could be just a stuck valve or a failed shift solenoid, but it really needs to be diagnosed by a Auto Trans specialist. They can plug in to the computer and check fault codes which should give them at least an indication of what the issue is. It may even be a common fault, in which case they might be able to tell you what's likely to be wrong just from the description. Ring around a few trans shops and see if you can get any good info out of them, and ask what their diagnosis charge is, and get a rough estimate on a trans rebuild. Then price up a second hand trans with low kms and see if it's worth going down that track.
check your wires that wounded it may cause trouble.
sounds like you need new rubber seals, but first, open the roof, and with a damp cloth, clean dirt off the inside rubbers, then close roof most of the way and clean around the edge of the glass/metal, which ever it is. Then close it fully and see if there are any tiny gaps. Does it leak water ? Red.
The Holden Commodore (VX) is an executive car that was produced by the Australian manufacturer Holden from 2000 to 2002. It was the second iteration of the third generation of this Australian made model. Its range included the luxury variants, Holden Berlina (VX) and Holden Calais (VX), and it formed the basis for a new generation Holden Ute (VU) coup? utility and Holden Monaro (V2) coup?.
The VX series was produced between October 2000 and September 2002, as a minor restyling update to the VT series from 1997. It introduced greater model differentiation along with gains in crash safety. An intermediate Series II was launched in August 2001, featuring a revised suspension system among other changes.
My battery went flat and I jump started my car (Holden VT) now my stereo is locked. Dose anybody know how to unlock it. It's a eurovox radio unit.
You will need to get the radio pin code through a Holden dealer.
Anything for less than $200 is great.


Three Boston-area venture capital firms led the nation in VC fundraising during the first quarter of this year, a slow period that reflects continued retraction and consolidation in the venture industry.
In their latest quarterly report on VC fundraising, Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association say that some 35 venture funds raised nearly $4.1 billion combined during the quarter. That's the smallest number of funds raised in any one quarter since the third quarter of 2003, and a decline in dollar value from about $4.7 billion raised by 53 firms in the first quarter of 2012.
Put another way: The sharp drop in the number of funds, next to the smaller decline in dollars raised, shows once again how the VC industry is contracting. The top five venture firms raising money in the first quarter represented some 57 percent of all VC fundraising in the quarter, the report says.
With those trends as the backdrop, Massachusetts VCs can take some solace that they captured three of the top five spots across the country in the first quarter.
Leading the way was the $650 million 10th fund from Battery Ventures, which followed 2012 IPOs from portfolio companies including Splunk, Guidewire, and ExactTarget. It should also be noted that Battery simultaneously raised another $250 million for a secondary fund, which will focus on larger growth investing and buyouts. Boston-based Battery, which also has offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Israel, raised the big fund despite fund performance over the past decade that really wasn't anything to write home about.
Coming in second was Third Rock Ventures, a biotech firm that raised $516 million intended to finance perhaps 16 new companies. Third Rock, which is based in Boston and San Francisco, is among a small group of active early stage biotech investors—although life sciences VC Standish Fleming noted in a guest column that Third Rock's strategy is still too new to be a proven winner.
Third place went to Spark Capital, which raised its $450 million fourth fund in February. Spark was founded in 2005, and like Third Rock still has some time left to prove its strategy will pay off for limited partners who invest in the VC world. But Spark has certainly attracted attention with its investments in big-name private tech companies like Twitter, Tumblr, and Foursquare.
The rest of the top-raising VC firms in the quarter weren't named in the Reuters/NVCA report.

Wow! This album moves me to the core with each and every listen. It's taken me four years to finally find a copy of it and I am so happy I did! I don't care if it's considered "Neo-prog" or that Magenta is considered a "Yes clone": IMO, there is no better 'neo' or 'clone' album out there. Okay, "Gluttony" sounds like it came from Drama or The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and, yes, "Lust" sounds like it came from 90120, but Magenta still manages to make new, fresh music from the stylings and sounds of the much revered gods of the 70s.
The band as a whole stands very well, with all performers adding significantly to a collaboratively beautiful album, but their stellar achievement here rests on the talents of two extraordinary lead soloists: singer Christina Booth and lead guitarist Chris Fry.
Many people like to compare Christina to the incomparable ANNIE HASLEM, but I see more similarities to KATE BUSH. The crystal clarity of Annie with the emotion and diversity of Kate (though, IMHO, not quite as good as either.)
Then there is the astoundingly talented, enigmatic and creative 'chameleon' guitarist, Chris Fry. He is Steve Howe, he is Steve Hackett, he is Steve Hillage, he is Steve Rothery, he is he is John Mitchell, Paul Buchanan, he is Chet Atkins, he is Jamie West--Oram (THE FIXX), he is Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson (BIG COUNTRY), he is B.B. KING, he is CORRADO RUSTICI, he is Jeff Beck--he is so many guitarists all wrapped into one. No two solos throughout this album sound anything like any of the others. Superlatives, people, only superlatives!
1. "Gluttony" (12:07) begins with a very familiar YES Relayer sound to it but, in fact, this is the song where the band break out from under the grips of neo-clonehood and offer something uniquely their own, something fresh (despite the occasional Steve Howe-like leads, Rick Wakeman-like organ and Chris Squire-like bass stylings.) The vocal harmonies and lead vocals are gorgeous and the use of 'harp' and The Vienna Symphony Strings is absolutely brilliant, integral, beautiful. And the diverse guitar and keyboard sounds and soli make it much more than just another Yes clone. (21/25)
2. "Envy" (10:10) is a fairly straightforward and easily accessible GENESIS-like song (And Then There Were Three era)--guitars, keys, bass pedals, Collins-like tom rolls--except for one small detail: THE INCREDIBLE VOICE OF CHRISTINA BOOTH! At 3:20 the song shifts to sound exactly like the background set up for Tony Banks' mellotron solo (the greatest mellotron solo in the history of music) from the second half of "Entangled" when--surprise, surprise!? Rick Wakeman's organ solo from the lull part of "Awaken" enters. Brilliant!! As hauntingly effective as the two source-originals! (20/20)
3. "Lust" (12:29) begins with the movie theme-song-like Vienna Strings intro before the band joins in for a couple of minutes of jamming in a YES/STYX sound and feel. At the 2:30 mark vocals are introduced in harmonic chords before the song settles into a straightforward rock backbeat with Christina singing and STYX-STARCASTLE-like keyboards playing around. The guitar solo sections accompanying the vocal "Ahh" harmonies are wonderful. At 4:45 everything switches to an astoundingly beautiful blues setting with Chris Fry playing one of the best ROY BUCHANAN solos I've ever heard. Wish it would go on forever! By 5:50 we're into a new "confess" section with repeating bouncy piano chords and regular breaks for Chris Fry soli. The use of orchestra in the next, instrumental, section beginning at 7:30 is wonderful. Guitar solo hear conjures up pure CARLOS SANTANA before giving way to a Moogy Klingman-like keyboard solo. Very exciting section! 9:40 begins a "take my soul/give me new life" section with recorders, tubular bells and piano, before giving way to orchestral support for a blistering guitar solo. Great emotion from Christina Booth's vocals leading into the outro! Wow! What a ride! (22.5/25)
4. " Greed" (13:55) starts off so beautifully, with harmonized vocal "Ahhs" striking an arpeggiated variety notes/chords, and, despite the joining of some Yes-like instruments (keys and guitars), the song really takes on a sound and feel quite unlike the prog Masters, though perhaps at times with some ANNIE HASLEM -like (post Renaissance) vocal similarities. In the mid-sections there are actually some similarities to THE CARPENTERS (in a good way), followed by some Yes Drama-era sounds and riffs, switching around the eight minute mark to total RENAISSANCE (piano & vocal). Genius Chris Fry then takes over for a flash or two over the continued Scheherezade-like music. With two minutes to go there is a switch: it sounds as if they're about to break into "Squonk" when instead a light BURT BACHARACH-like section ensues to end. Beautiful. (28.5/30)
5. "Anger" (5:13) is an amazing little semi-pop song. A heart-wrenching vocal song over 'harp' (?) and The Vienna Symphony Orchestra strings. Does anyone hear know "A Perfect Day" by the infinitely talented Miriam Stockley (ADIEMUS)? It was used as the theme song for the 1992 BBC animated series of the Beatrix Potter "Peter Rabbit" stories. "Anger" has some of the pastoral and emotional majesty Ms. Stockely's beautiful little song. (10/10)
6. "Pride" (12:31) sees a return to a very Yes-sounding song--sounding more from the Close to the Edge to Going for the One era. This is, IMO, the song on which the band is most clearly imitative of pure YES, and, except for the incredible instrumental section from 7:56 to 9:40 (Chris Fry is an absolute genius!!), the weakest song on the album. "There Must Be Some Misunderstanding"!! (Do you hear it??!!) (18/25)
7. "Sloth" (10:08) has a very theatric, RENAISSANCE sound and style. Even the topic ("Gitchee Manitou" or pre-European conquest America) is similar to the xenophilic fascinations of RENAISSANCE (or was it lyricist Betty Thatcher's?). Absotlutely amazing vocals throughout but the CLAIRE TOREY ("Great Gig in the Sky" from Dark Side of the Moon) finale is almost as powerful as Miss Torey's original! (18.75/20)
IMHO, this is indisputably a masterpiece of absolutely beautiful music with stunning performances and brilliant compositions. Neo-clones: Top this one!

Poland's LGBT - Free Zones
Poland's Constitution states "Equal in rights and obligations towards the common good" to their citizens. However, many are beginning to question Poland's desire to conform to their Constitution due to the impact of the LGBT - Free Zones.
Rafał Trzaskowski, a liberal mayor of Warsaw, adopted an "LGBT Charter" in February of 2019. This charter emphasized that people part of the LGBTQ+ Community that are facing discrimination would receive support. Furthermore, Trzaskowski made a statement that underlined that he would follow the guidelines of the World Health Organization, and would work to integrate LGBTQ+ issues in the curriculum of Warsaw School Systems. This statement was met with public outcry; conservatives, now energized, began calling LGBT rights an "import that threatens Poland." As a result, several municipalities, or towns that have local governments, have declared themselves as LGBT - free zones.
LGBT-free zones are certain areas of Poland that have declared themselves to be unwelcome to the LGBTQ+ community. As of April 2020, over a third of Poland has been declared intolerant of the LGBTQ+ community. Politicians created these zones after the public disapproval faced by Trzaskowski's plan to implement LGBT studies in the curriculum of Warsaw schools. The public believed it would sexualize children, and Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the conservative Prawo i Sprawiedliwość party, turned public outcry into disapproval of the LGBT ideology.
In response to LGBTQ+ ideology, Kaczyński famously responded with "Hands off our children!" This statement implies that he believes LGBTQ+ ideology threatens young Polish children (he is known for using Christian principles to "protect the morality" of Poland). He, and the rest of his political party, states that they are not Anti-LGBT, rather they are pro-family. He believes that incorporating LGBT ideology into school curriculum will lead to "sexual depravity and indoctrination" of the children. He believes that the LGBTQ+ community is a purely western invention, oftentimes grouping sexual orientation with pornography and sexual deviance.
To enforce a "pro-family" lifestyle in Poland, 34 municipalities have adopted the "Municipal Charter of Family Rights," a charter that serves to "protect" the heterosexual family, and stears clear of an references to LGBT ideology. This charter is meant to protect the family and respect the rights of the family rather than discriminating against anyone part of the LGBTQ+ community. The charter largely conforms to Christian ideals and protects the family by reinforcing the Christian values.
Opponents may argue that there is no legal way to enforce the LGBT-free zones. And they are correct, there is no enforceable way to make sure that people part of the LGBTQ+ community stay out of these zones. However, these zones make it clear to people part of the LGBTQ+ community that they are not welcome. The zones do not challenge the physical presence of the LGBTQ+ community, but it addresses the ideology and existence of the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, over seventy percent of LGBTQ+ people in Poland have experienced violence due to discrimination.
Bialystok, a Polish city, had been declared as an LGBT-free zone in 2019 due to homophobic and transphobic speeches made by the Catholic Church of Poland and Prawo i Sprawiedliwość. In retaliation, about 24 pride marches were scheduled to combat the inequality. The first march took place in Bialystok, where participants were faced with violence even before the march officially started. About 800 to 1,000 marchers were opposed by over 4,000 counter-protesters, who threw rocks, bottles, and even firecrackers at the marchers.
The extreme violence endured by protesters in the March drew in media attention to the situation in Poland. Soon the slogan "zone free-of-zones" and "hate-free zones" became popular. People even began passing out "hate-free zone" stickers to combat the "LGBT - free zone" stickers which were already in circulation. A week after the march, a second protest took place in Bialystok, addressing the violence that the first march was met with. The march increased awareness regarding the LGBTQ+ scene in Poland. Such battles for equal rights persist until today.

In addition, we encourage you to check out the school's website to find a more comprehensive list, or email your child's teacher to find out exactly what he or she will need. We hope this helps. Thank you.
Elementary, Middle Schools, High Schools, and educational blogs please link to us to help your readers find school supplies needed for this year.
Take a moment and review these back to school safety tips. Read our entire article on back to school safety here.
1. If your child walks to school make sure they use the "buddy" system. Walking with a friend or in a large group of other students is a great way to be safe on the journey to and from school. There is always greater safety in numbers.
2. If your child rides the bus be sure that they know their own bus number.
3. Always walk or ride your bike in areas that are well lit. Stay on the same familiar high traffic pathways to and from school. Do not take short cuts and avoid places that cannot be seen or heard.
4. A good thing to do with your child if they walk to school is to walk the route with them before school begins. Obey all traffic signals and signs, use the crosswalks and listen to the crossing guard.

Downtown property owners voted to approve a new special tax district to help fund a streetcar (project home page here). The tally of ballots — all mail-in — finished a few minutes ago with 73 percent approving of the district according to the city of Los Angeles' unofficial count.
The money raised from the new tax will be used to attract the federal grants needed to fully fund the $125-million project. The streetcar in Portland that inspired many similar projects served as the funding model.
The proposed route is above. There will be easy connections to the streetcar from the Red/Purple Line subway, Regional Connector, Silver Line and many Metro bus lines. The goal is to open the streetcar in 2015 with construction beginning in 2013.
Congratulations to L.A. Councilman and Metro Board Member Jose Huizar and his staff for spurring the streetcar project. I think it will prove to be a tremendous benefit for many downtown neighborhoods and especially good for Broadway, a street with a lot of great old buildings and a lot of potential.

Metro may have found another way to fund their projects. I would pay for a transit line if it improved my neighborhood. I won't support a general Metro tax increase because Metro returns pennies on the dollar to my neighborhood.
Century City, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Santa Monica, Beach Cities, all very wealthy neighborhoods. I'm sure they could help accelerate their transit lines themselves if they wanted.
How are the operations going to be funded? Also the City council documents indicate the special tax could be asses up to 40 years. Seems to me people have been playing fast and loose with how much this thing is going to cost without providing a full plan.
This thing was a boondoggle from the start and now a minority of residents decide to commit DTLA landowner for 40 years.
The first line is incorrect, it was Downtown residents, not Downtown property owners.
amazing news. Bringing back broadway is going to bring dozens of jobs and more life back into downtown. I love this city.
I think its great that DT will have a street car; However, I don't understand why the property owners were not allowed to vote. Property owners can pass the cost to their tenants, IF the market could bear the addition cost. Will tenants pay a higher price to be within walking distance of the street car? Maybe. Maybe not.
Still not correct: Residents who are registered to vote within the proposed district boundaries.

After the last token has been transferred to participants and the dust has settled down, it all comes down to the roadmap and the company's ability to deliver what they had claimed. The roadmap is both the blueprint and yardstick for measuring the development of businesses entering the blockchain space. It tells the community how far development has come and how soon the service they had contributed to will be available for use. There is a great deal of pressure for blockchain startups to deliver according to the roadmap.
IoT sensor data platform DataBroker DAO has weathered one of the most tumultuous periods in blockchain history to announce the launch of its decentralized data monetization marketplace. Built for individuals, industries and organizations, it allows users to buy and sell IoT sensor data from anywhere in the world.
Developed by SettleMint, a startup focused on unleashing the blockchain's potential for businesses, DataBroker DAO is turning the sunk cost of IoT sensor devices into an exciting revenue stream for owners. Many industries and sectors stand to benefit from the smart marketplace. From vertical scalability and speed for network operators to research data for academics and corporations, DataBroker DAO is positioning itself to lead scientific breakthroughs on the blockchain.
Following the close of its extended token sale on June 30th for its native cryptocurrency, DTX, and an initial disappointment of not reaching its sale target of 108 million DTX, DataBroker DAO has set about establishing several key partnerships. It is dialoguing with governments and communities across the globe to positively impact development through leveraging the platform for their needs.
DataBroker DAO was one of the attendees at the Smart Island World Congress earlier this year. The event hosted international experts and leading authorities discussing challenges encountered by island nations and possible solutions. DataBroker DAO's IoT sensor-based waste management solution was one of the highlights of the gathering.
With its aim at the congress achieved, DataBroker DAO has now set its sights on various expos and events around the world in the coming months. It will be kicking off with Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona from November 13th to November 15th, 2018. Barcelona will be playing host to tens of thousands of consumers and businesses and hundreds of innovative speakers and exhibitors as DataBroker DAO presents ways of improving lives through its smart technologies. DataBroker DAO will be at the Flanders Investment and Trade (FIT) booth at the Fira de Barcelona throughout the event.
DataBroker DAO will also be increasing its presence in China through a series of roadshows and collaborative meetups. IoT technologies are expected to help grow the Chinese GDP by 20% to 30% by 2020. The IoT market is currently estimated at CNY 500 Billion (USD 80 Billion). DataBroker DAO hopes to be a part of this growth.

DataBroker DAO is emerging fast, having recently announced their forging of successful alliances and a listing on decentralized exchange Tokenjar. These members will help DataBroker DAO reach its goal of bringing the Internet of Things revolution to fruition.
DataBroker DAO have been busy planning the next steps in their journey after the recently successful token launch. The Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data marketplace is building a major part of the fourth industrial revolution, as well as becoming a part of the popular emerging technology blockchain.
Based in Dubai, DataBroker DAO has captured the interest of private industry and governments worldwide. They are the first decentralized marketplace to buy and sell sensor data using blockchain technology. The marketplace enables owners to turn generated data into revenue streams, creating a wealth of opportunities where data will be used and become more effective across numerous industries.
As a solution to the challenges in hand, DataBroker DAO plan to use their smart contract-based marketplace on the Ethereum network. The gateway operator will enable sensor owners to put data generated by their sensors for sale, where potential buyers can discover and purchase the data using the DTX token.
The DTX token is the method of cryptocurrency based on the DataBroker DAO platform that enables senor owners to carry out their transactions. Recently, the sale for the token ended. The aftermath of the sale resulted in the DTX token being listed on CoinMarketCap, and was further made available for trading on two credible exchanges, Bitforce and CoinFalcon.
Additionally, DTX tokens can now also be traded on Tokenjar, a decentralized exchange with zero service fees and a direct wallet-to-wallet transaction system, without the need for deposits, registrations, or KYC. Tokenjar's underlying technology is 0x protocol – an open, permissionless protocol that enables ERC20 tokens to be traded on the Ethereum platform.
The team at DataBroker DAO are knuckling down on the use of cases, stories, and examples of the platform at work, transforming lives and enterprises. In terms of marketing, the team are trying to reach out to a range of audiences by making the idea more comprehensive so that it appeals to various market segments.
Currently, DataBroker DAO has around 25 organisations ready to participate on the platform, and are gradually bringing them on board to ensure all needs and requirements are met for the alliance members.
Furthermore, DataBroker DAO's mission is to acquire the desired developers by the end of summer of 2018. Amongst their outstanding goals, there are still challenges being tackled. The company is trying to maintain consistent communication with their token sale participants and alliance members, as well as the rest of the world.
The main focus is on IoT sensor data owners and buyers. Providing they have a successful breakthrough, all DataBroker DAO partners and participants will receive long-term rewards from the fourth industrial technology revolution, backed by blockchain.
DataBroker now welcomes three new alliance members. These alliances help bolster the security of the platform, as well as with crowd-sensing, project management and consulting work.
The first alliance member, Rivetz, produces embedded, blockchain-based mobile security solutions. Their technology offers maximum security for digital assets and transactions. Using Google Authenticator (a two-factor authentication software application), users are protected from any attacks, fraud or identity theft. On the other hand, Rivetz also offers a simpler protection service, without the need of passwords, PIN numbers, or 64-character private keys.
The second alliance member is SenLab, a cutting-edge mobile enterprise company. They provide an award-winning IoT dashboard for smartphones, as well as a gateway and API for testing, prototyping and piloting. SenLab are active in the crowd-sensing field and have a network of mobile device users who received reliable data in industries such as healthcare, safety, environmental monitoring, urban mobility, and social networking.
The final alliance member is Eurocon, a project management and consulting business who specialise in the management of technology, business clusters, innovation centres, new projects emerging in markets, and advanced digital programmes. Eurocon have been running on an IoT community event since 2011, notably used as a smart connection for Industry 4.0, logistics, healthcare, and supply chain industries.
The team are encouraging all those interested to stay up to date on their Telegram channel or website.

The DataBroker DAO team have been pondering the next steps for the company, extending their token event to the 30th June, 2018 and for every DTX purchased, participants will now receive a bonus token, with the extra tokens being locked away for a 3 month period.
The DataBroker DAO platform has undergone many positive changes since its inception, as well as opening up a wide scope of vision for the project. As new opportunities have presented themselves, and so DataBroker DAO is more than pleased to reveal these new exciting details to everyone involved.
The DTX token sale period was coming to a close, and the community put forward several questions on the DataBroker Telegram, regarding whether or not unpurchased DTX tokens would be burned or not.
DataBroker came to a solid conclusion that the best and most fair solution for the community would be to continue to distribute them to the participants. For everyone that already has and will go on to participate in the DTX token sale, one it has concluded, users automatically receive an extra token for each one purchased in the token event. This naturally increases the base rate of 4000 DTX per 1 ETH to 8000 DTX, subject t a 3 month lock-up period.
The DataBroker DAO team are planning to travel to china on what is expected to be a strategic and important trip for the company. DataBroker DAO will be postponing listing DTX on the CoinFalcon exchange until this extended period has drawn to a close. In the meantime, DataBroker DAO is in the process of having the DTX token listed on reputable Chinese exchange.
As the company is heading to China for two weeks, visiting Beijing and Shanghai with two additional cities in consideration; the goal of which is to introduce the platform to the Chinese markets and shoot for the 108 Million DTX sale target.
DataBroker DAO is on track to launch the widely anticipated dataset feature that allows data purchases to sell "Processed Datasets" i.e AI, BigData, Aggregation, Enriched Data, and it will become live on the DApp this week. DataBroker DAO wholey believes this extra monetization option can generate waves of bold innovations on an unfathomable scale.

As we progress ever further into a hyper-connected environment the ways in which users and companies are using and collecting data is an ever-evolving process. Data is collected by companies in a variety of ways in order to build a cyber profile. An example of this would be web browser cookies. This information helps companies target specific individuals with advertisements or products.
Today's companies make use of "sensor data" collected from IoT devices to optimize and monitor their day to day operations. Internet of Things (IoT) is a broad term that encapsulates a multitude of physical devices embedded with electronics, software, and sensors connected via a network. In recent years, we have seen a 31% rise in online compatible devices leading to a figure of 8.4 billion recorded in 2017. Industry experts have estimated that the figure could rise to over 30 billion IoT devices by 2020 as well as a market value of 7.1 trillion. A company looking to take advantage of this industry using the blockchain is Databroker DAO.
Data Broker DAO is the world's first decentralized markets place which enables users to buy and sell IoT sensor data. Being a decentralized marketplace allows owners of devices with various sensors to create a substantial stream of revenue using their personal data. This in turn, gives opportunities to many companies in varying industries to acquire accurate data in an efficient and more importantly, in an ethical manner. By utilizing blockchain technology and therefore a decentralized marketplace had enabled data broker to increase efficiency and lower the costs, in turn, allowing more profit for sellers and lower prices to those buying the data.
Databroker aims to disrupt the IoT sensor data industry by revolutionizing the way in which sensor data is used. Devices that are often forgotten about in day to day activities generate a magnitude of specific data that many average people do not see the monetary value of. In regards to data researchers, this type of information is a gold mine.
Databroker's decentralized marketplace has many stand out features that benefit seller and buyer in multiple ways. The need for a middleman has been eliminated lowering costs for all parties involved. By utilizing blockchain technology allows transparent transactions, inspiring trust from users as well as offering easy and efficient access to accurate and relevant data for companies and organizations alike.
Databroker has just announced its public sale starting on April 26th, 2018 completing on the 26th of May. This public sale allows contributors to acquire DataBrokers DTX tokens at a reduced price. To ensure there are no regulatory issues in the future, Databroker has included a KYC procedure for all contributors, this is mandatory and must be completed before acquiring their DTX tokens.
Once completed this process and the confirmation email has been received backers are able to send ETH to the address listed and claim the specified amount of DTX tokens. DataBroker DAO has already signed up with multiple exchanges including Coin Falcon and Chankura to list their tokens a week after the sale ends, bringing public trading to all token users.
During the DTX token sale buyers have a chance to claim 4000 DTX tokens at the exchange rate of 1 ETH. A 10% discount was available to DTX token sales until April 26th, however a generous referral system is still in place which offers buyers a 5% bonus on tokens sold.

Carlton Cannes to become Europe's first new generation Regent Hotel in spring 2023
IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) today announced an historic addition to its Regent Hotels & Resorts portfolio – a continuation of its partnership with the hotel's owner and developer Katara Hospitality. The announcement celebrates the longstanding partnership between IHG Hotels & Resorts and Carlton Cannes owner Katara Hospitality, an award-winning Qatar-based global hotel developer and operator with over 50 years of experience in luxury hospitality.
Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel will open in Spring 2023 after a two-year multi-million Euro redevelopment. The property will become a flagship property within the new generation of Regent Hotels & Resorts, as the brand – part of IHG's Luxury & Lifestyle Collection – returns to reimagine modern luxury once more.
Andrew Humphries, acting chief executive officer, Katara Hospitality, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be working with IHG to transform the Carlton Cannes into a Regent Hotel, providing an inspiring gateway from which to explore the wonders of the French Riviera. Our aim is to deliver the serene and sensational at every turn. Our significant and continued investment will ensure that the hotel will stand the test of time for many years to come."
Kenneth Macpherson, EMEAA Regional CEO, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: "With a long history of hosting royalty, dignitaries and stars of stage and screen, the Carlton Cannes is one of the world's most iconic hotels. It is an icon of Riviera glamour, and we look forward to working with strategic partner Katara Hospitality to bring the reimagined Regent experience to life at the Carlton Cannes. This is just the start of our ambition to grow the brand further across Europe."
Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel will have 332 rooms and 37 branded residences, designed by revered French interior designer Tristan Auer, known for his singular approach, polyhedral aesthetics and exquisite vision with just a touch of irreverence. The grand-scale renovation programme skillfully preserves the hotel's historic features, including its legendary façade, whilst creating a modern-day masterpiece that echoes the design philosophy of new Regent Hotels & Resorts. Guests staying at Calton Cannes – a Regent Hotel will experience the brand's distinctive new hallmarks.
The epitome of elegance and the 'Grande Dame' of Cannes' hotel scene, the property's majestic Belle Epoque façade, framed by twin domes, occupies the frontage of an entire city block overlooking the prestigious beachfront promenade, La Croisette.
The addition of Carlton Cannes to the Regent Hotels & Resorts portfolio marks a truly historic milestone in the reimagination of the legendary Regent brand since it joined IHG Hotels & Resorts in 2018. Created in 1970 to reinvent luxury travel, the brand builds on a storied heritage of innovation, extraordinary views, landmark destinations and exceptional service. Carlton Cannes will join the new era of Regent along with Chongqing, Shanghai and Phu Quoc in celebrating the most refined experiences for modern luxury trendsetters.
Regent Phu Quoc opened in Vietnam in April this year, becoming the first new-build Regent to open following the brand's new approach after the elegant renovations of Regent Chongqing and Regent Shanghai the year prior. Regent Hong Kong will come back to Victoria Harbour by year end after a full renovation and is set to be closely followed by the opening of Regent Bali early in 2023.
Over 50 years ago, the founders of Regent Hotels & Resorts set out to redefine luxury travel. Regent Hotels was the pioneer in hotel design with bold firsts, setting the ultimate standards that live across luxury hotel brands to this day. Blending Eastern and Western customs and nuances, Regent's heritage boasts remarkable locations such as Hong Kong's waterfront landmark and now La Croisette in Cannes and the hotel will truly become a legend reborn.
Carlton Cannes is one of eight Regent properties in the pipeline for IHG and will be a brand flagship property in Europe. The signing signifies the importance of the French market to IHG. France has long been a go-to destination for European and global leisure and business travellers. Currently there are 63* open hotels and 18* hotels in the pipeline in France.

April Is Financial Literacy Month. Someone Tell Congress.
iStockphoto/The Fiscal Times
By Joseph J. Minarik and Caroline L. Ferguson
February is Black History Month, March is National Women's Month, and April? Well, it's Financial Literacy Month, of course!
The U.S. government gave financial literacy its own month in 2003. April originally was titled "Financial Literacy for Youth Month," but leaders quickly changed gears to include all Americans, young and old. Though financial literacy is perhaps less exciting than some other causes for most Americans to champion, U.S. leaders correctly determined that widespread financial literacy is crucial for the success of every citizen.
So then, why does the federal government not practice the financial responsibility that it preaches?
As of December 2017, we citizens had a collective household debt of $13.15 trillion (this figure includes IOUs on mortgages, student loans, credit cards and car loans). It seems that even with a month dedicated to fiscal responsibility, we are, by and large, comfortable with being in the red. Unfortunately, so is our government, and to a worse extent. The federal government, including the Social Security trust fund, owes a whopping $21 trillion, and that number is rising by the second.
The problem lies not only with the amount of money that the government owes, but also with who will be responsible for that debt. And it's just the people whom Financial Literacy Month was originally intended to address: young Americans.
All young Americans should be aware of that enormous debt and what it means for their future. And they should be calling on their government leaders to employ the same fiscal responsibility that they espouse to our citizens.
The debt, though large, seems stable now. But that can change in an instant. The moment that investors decide the U.S. debt is unsustainable and try to sell out or stop buying new debt, the federal government and its leaders will have a huge problem on their hands.
The solutions to an unsustainable debt fall into three categories: raising taxes, cutting spending and growing the economy. Millennial Americans will be forced to utilize all of these in the future.
Raising taxes to gain revenue is one rather unpopular way to equalize the government's balance sheet. Future Americans could see their take-home pay decrease significantly because today's government has failed to employ sound fiscal policies.
The forced slashing of spending initiatives can be just as unpopular as tax hikes. A decrease in military spending and cuts to social programs like food stamps and the Children's Health Insurance Program will be unfavorable collateral damage of an unsustainable debt. Cuts to Social Security perhaps may affect the most Americans — young taxpayers putting money into Social Security now may find that the program is less beneficial to them when they reach retirement age. And sometimes we forget: Young people from less-than-affluent families might have to pitch in out of their own pockets to help their parents — and later, themselves — if Social Security is cut sharply.
Finally, growing the economy to stabilize and reduce our debt-to-GDP ratio (currently at 103.8 percent, again including Social Security trust funds) sounds like the best solution to show investors that the U.S. is a failsafe investment. Sadly, like most ideal solutions, growing the economy is probably the most difficult. Policymakers have been promising faster economic growth for decades. If they had delivered, we wouldn't be having this conversation. And unfortunately, running a huge debt is inimical to economic growth, so this task will be even harder.
Increasing GDP fast enough to balance out the quickly rising debt is a nearly impossible task. On average, the U.S. economy since 1930 has grown 3.3 percent annually. With the debt growing as quickly as it is, it would take a miracle for the economy to speed up quickly enough to match or surpass it. The economy would likely need another 1.5 percentage points per year of growth just to hold the debt burden as a percent of GDP constant over the next 10 years — while the retirement of the Baby Boom generation will be slowing the growth of the labor force, and necessarily of the GDP as well.
No one knows when the debt level will become a crisis. The U.S. economy probably won't implode tomorrow, but if we continue to kick the can down the road, it will eventually come back to bite us. Why not be safe rather than sorry? The longer we procrastinate, the larger our accumulated debt — and the harder it will be to turn that growing debt around.
This Financial Literacy Month, we need to demand that our elected officials lead by example. Our political leaders have a duty to make the hard choices now to ensure a safe and prosperous future for the nation.

After the untethered Evasi0n jailbreak was released for iOS 6 devices, we told you about a bug that was causing Apple's stock Weather app to crash on jailbroken iPhones. On the iPad, the jailbreak was unhiding an old iPhone version of the Weather app.
There was a manual way to fix the bug, but now an official patch has been released in Cydia for all devices that have been jailbroken with Evasi0n.
One of the hackers behind Evasi0n tweeted the news about the patch earlier today.
The update to UIKit Tools should be available under the "Changes" section of Cydia on your jailbroken iOS device. If you don't see it, refresh the Changes page and it should appear. There's also an update to the Evasi0n untether itself that fixes an issue with long reboot times.
