Project on Discourse and Ideology
This long-term, multidisciplinary project systematically investigates the relations between discourse and ideology, one of the fundamental dimensions of Critical Discourse Studies (CDS), given the assumption that ideologies are largely acquired and changed through discourse. The arguments in favor of this project were multiple. First of all, it was intended as one of my contibutions to the foundations of CDS. Secondly, it provided a more general basis for the study of racist ideologies. Thirdly, the study of ideology throughout the ages (from Destutt de Tracy, Marx-Engels, Lukacs, Gramsci, Althusser, etc.) had been especially the work of socially interested philosophers, until today, for instance in terms of 'false consciousness' and related vague terms that hardly were up to date within contemporary scholarship. Indeed, the social-cognitive nature of ideologies as forms of social cognitions shared by social groups was rather generally ignored, even in social psychology. And although many scholars in critical and social discourse studies had often been engaged in the study of ideology, they did not develop a new theory of ideology that could account for the role of discourse in the reproduction of racism. After several articles (see below) I finally decided to start the publication of a series of monographs that would systematically deal with ideology, first in quite general, multidisciplinary terms, then, in later volumes, specifically on ideology and social cognition, ideology and society, and finally on ideology and discourse. Because of the close relations between ideology and knowlede as forms of social cognition, the second monograph on ideology and social cognition was delayed because of the necessity to first account for the fundamental role of knowledge and discourse - which however became a major other project. After completing that project on discourse and knowledge, I hope to continue the series of monographs on discourse and ideology.

Kusturica reveals monument to Gavrilo Princip
By Milos Mitrovic/ Published on: 22/04/2014
By Milos Mitrovic – Belgrade
Famous Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica has revealed the monument to Gavrilo Princip, the revolutionary that assassinated Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie in 1914, during the monarch's visit to Sarajevo.
"Princip exists not just as the great emotion", Kusturica said on Monday at the ceremony in Tovarisevo, 109 kilometers north-west from Belgrade.
On the occasion of World War One centenary, Kusturica also revealed monument dedicated to 50 Serbian war volunteers from Tovarisevo.
Kusturica recalled that the bridge in his home town Sarajevo, the present capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, was named after Gavrilo Princip. "And now, this bridge that leaded to Emperor Dusan Park, has different name… ", Kusturica stressed, adding ironically that a number of towns in Serbia and Montenegro have streets dedicated to "comrade Tito", former authoritarian ruler of communist Yugoslavia.
According to Kusturica, Serbia as a modern state would not be established, if Princip had not existed. "Gavrilo Princip exists not just as a great emotion". After revealing the monument (photo by novosti.rs), he announced that mosaic dedicated to Princip would be opened in Visegrad, Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 2011 Kusturica started constructing artistic town "Andricgrad" (Andric-town) in Visegrad, dedicated to Yugoslav and Serbian Nobel Prize winner for literature Ivo Andric. The project is scheduled to be completed by June, coinciding with Great War centenary.
Serbian poet and academic Matija Beckovic, who also attended the ceremony in Tovarisevo, recaled that 402,435 Serbian soldiers have been killed and 845,000 civilians hanged or exterminated in concentration camps during WWI. "The victims should not be forgotten and neglecting of Serbian victims started immediately after Great War was ended", Beckovic said. "The shot by Gavrilo Princip has not changed only his life, but the life of every single Serb in Austria-Hungary".
Earlier this month, the government of the Republic of Srpska, Bosnian entity, announced that monuments devoted to Gavrilo Princip would be built in Belgrade and East Sarajevo on the occasion of World War One outbreak centenary.
Austria-Hungary used the assassination of Franz Ferdinand to start the war against Serbia that triggered WWI claiming that Princip was trained in Belgrade. While some historians believe that Serbia was partly responsible for the world disaster, most Serbian academics and government strive to rebuff such claims as revisionism.

After my blog post on e-ink displays, I wanted to go into more detail on how I generated the bitmap fonts I used. In this blog post, I'll show how to generate bitmap fonts from fonts you can get online, and a brief intro on how to use them.
I know there are a few tools out there for generating this kind of thing, but this was a custom thing for my microcontroller and I like doing and learning things myself!
There are quite a few sites with freely downloadable fonts that make great pixel fonts (FontGal.com is one), although .ttf files can't really be used on microcontrollers, so we first need to rasterize them to a bitmap font. To conserve space, each character is 6x8 pixels in size (WxH), and only common ASCII characters are drawn.
It's fairly easy to draw fonts stored like this. First we convert the ASCII character to an index by subtracting the offset of the first character in the font. This works because the characters in the font are defined in numerical order ('0'=48, 'A'=65, etc.), so subtracting the space character (' '=32) returns the index in the array. We also replace any invalid characters with space, to prevent the code from trying to draw characters that aren't defined!
// which is really just a 1D array of size 96*char_width.
It is possible to extend this code to support variable-width characters, or dynamically selectable fonts (using pointers), but that's a bit trickier to implement.
This includes the processing script, rasterized .png files, and the source .ttf files.
As always, if you want to know more or need some help, feel free to contact me or leave a comment!
For my latest project, I foolishly ordered some PIC24FJ256DA206 chips without checking that my programmer actually supported them! So after much pulling of hair, I finally tracked down the problem and realised the chip wasn't actually supported by my PicKit2.
The PicKit3 can program my chip through MPLABX, but I couldn't find any in my local stores, and buying one online would have taken weeks to arrive. So I decided to try and see if I could manually add the chips to the PicKit2 GUI.
When I attempted to program the chip, PicKit2 just gave me a "Invalid Device ID 0xFFFF" which was strange since usually it would at least report a proper device ID and then say it didn't support it.
This gave me a clue of what I needed to fix, since the PicKit2 actually has a scripting language that appears to actually do all the device-specific work. If they've changed that register, then perhaps all the current PIC24 scripts are no longer valid?
Before I investigated that, I decided to figure out how to find the proper parameters when adding a new chip.
By comparing a supported PIC24 family by using the PicKit2 Device File Editor and the family's programming manual, I was able to reverse engineer enough information to be able to add my PIC24F devices. Listed below are the necessary parameters, and how to find them.
This is easily found in both the programmer's manual (section 6) and the datasheet.
Equal to the number of configuration words!
This was trickier to find, and seems to be quite crucial.
Basically find the configuration registers in the device datasheet, set all the reserved bits to 1, and all the other bits to 0. Also duble check the programmer's reference manual to see if there are any special reserved bits there.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but definitely check the programmer's reference manual for what values the reserved bits must have. For example, the PIC I'm using requires bit CW1<15> to be set to 0. Note that this doesn't have to match the mask. If you're unsure, set it to 0xFFFF and see if that works.
This is for the PicKit2 GUI, it tells it which config register the code-protect bits are located at. It is 1-based, and in reverse order. For my PIC, the code-protect bits are located in CONFIG1, so CPConfig = 4.
Related to CPConfig above. Set the code-protect bits to 1 in this mask, so if they are set to 0, the GUI will show a warning.
Luckily the PicKit2 GUI source code is available, so I downloaded it and had a shot at making my own script viewer to see if the problem was easily fixable. Since it was written in C#, it was fairly easy to make my own GUI that could read the PicKit2 Device File.
I started by parsing the script against the constants defined in the source code, and found out that some of the scripts were actually executing PIC24 instructions on the device! Looking at the programmer's manual, I could match some of the byte-codes with the values I was seeing there.
I then added a simple decompiler that supports a few of the opcodes.
And for convenience, you can download my modified PK2DeviceFile.dat which supports all the above chips.
Yes! My PIC programs fine and verifies!
If anyone finds this useful, leave a comment below! If there's enough interest, I can add more chips to my patcher.
Update: This will also work fine with the PicKit3 GUI! However I can't seem to find a way to update the MPLABX side of things.

Features Chronicle Opinion
60 years of print
Recalling some of the major events in the industry
September 10, 2021 By Nick Howard
Photos courtesy Nick Howard
Canada's graphic arts industry has navigated many peaks and valleys during the past 60 years. Only one publication has continually captured all the developments, and that is PrintAction (PA).
From the 1970s to 1990s, the industry experienced many transformative phases. During the 1970s, the federal government's position on "Printing in Canada" drew a lot of criticism. Canadian and/or U.S. tariffs were either placed on or taken off many mass-produced products such as books and magazines. Parliament waffled between groups who wanted cheaper printing made in U.S.A. and those who pushed to protect Canadian workers.
Canadians were afraid of their American neighbours, who had bigger plants and could produce print at a cheaper rate. PrintAction made it a point to amplify and promote our country's printers and featured articles both railing against and encouraging parliament to do something about work being lost to the U.S.
Technological changes
Technology advances, with a constant stream of new devices, filled PA's pages in the 1980s, as prepress was turned on its ear with computer-driven solutions. These new technologies would soon drive out film. At one time, it was possible to clearly distinguish printers that typeset and output film (and plates) and press owners. PA educated us on how the two distinct sectors would soon embrace new tools and become one. By the mid-1990s, virtually all prepress houses either closed shop or realized they only needed a printing press to stay in business. Also, a cursory perusal of some back issues of PA illustrates that mail rate fears are generational. During the 1970s and '80s many articles appeared in PA about the negative impact of postage price increases.
Holistic coverage
PrintAction covered the Canadian printing industry's biggest stories whether it was the dawn of DTP or the latest innovation in die cutting.
In my experience, PA is/was a must read for our industry. In the early 1980s, Canada was starting to recover from a severe recession. Interest rates hovered around 20 per cent at that time. Times were tough and many shops closed down or were sold off for pennies on the dollar. However, business started to improve by mid-1983 when a firestorm of major announcements erupted within months of each other.
Linotype Canada
Linotype Canada had, for decades, been a large supplier of equipment. However, Linotype was not doing well in the early 1980s and started to lose many of its prized dealerships, particularly Komori, Stahl, Schneider and Brandtjen & Kluge. Shortly after the highly successful Graphic Trade 81 (October 1981) show, the Komori agency went into the hands of a new company led by former Linotype Canada manager Frank Wilson. The new business would later be formerly incorporated by the Komori Corporation of Japan as Komori Canada.
While chaos surrounding the Linotype fiasco played out, another drama emerged on the front pages of PA's April 1983 edition. Under the caption "Komori opens H.Q. with Tea Ceremony" was the news that Bill Sears, scion of the Sears family and president of the largest graphic equipment supplier in Canada—holder of the Heidelberg agency for over 20 years—had resigned from Sears Ltd., a division of Reichhold. It was suggested Sears had made a play to repurchase the company from Reichhold, and when rebuffed, tension and bad feelings entered the picture, resulting on Bill Sears getting the last laugh.
Over the next six months, printers would eagerly wait for each issue of PrintAction to read the industry-changing stories. By the end of 1983, Heidelberg Canada was incorporated and it began selling directly to Canadian printers on January 1, 1984. Through it all, Miller Corporation aligned with Sears and a fierce battle raged for a few years until Heidelberg came out victorious.
The go-to magazine
PrintAction remains the go-to magazine for print service providers, sharing Canadian stories from coast to coast. They have been a strong supporter of education, trade shows and "women in the graphic arts". When it comes to trade shows, PA was not only visible, but also a strong supporter and organizer, often producing special show editions. For many years (up to December 1993) PA was printed as a tabloid, and on newsprint.
All major events have been covered by PA from the launch of Heidelberg Speedmaster in 1975, Komori Lithrone in 1982 and Manroland's 700 in 1990 to CTP, coating techs, electrophotography and inkjet. All of these were well discussed so printers could take informed decisions.
Further, the rise of media company Quebecor is an important part of our history—they purchased Ronalds Federated from Bell Canada in 1988. In 1990, they acquired Robert Maxwell's Maxwell Communication Corporation.
Another company that must be mentioned is Transcontinental. In 1976, it started off as a flyer printer, but is now Canada's largest printer.
One PrintAction feature, long retired, was the "Company Reports" column, which published the financials of some of the largest public companies. Many of these firms have vanished today, but were they ever making money! In April 1981, the Toronto Star a profit of $22 million for 12 months. That is $65 million today. Moore Corporation earned in profits $110 million (U.S.) or $325 million today. The rest of the industry, struggling for a seven per cent net margin, could only read it and weep. Printing on newsprint had its advantages; PrintAction easily soaked up the tears.

B2 vs. B3 inkjet: The battle begins


I decided to do a cupcake theme for my youngest daughter's 2nd birthday. My very first inspiration was this photo from Birthday Express. I love bright colors so much!
The invitation was designed by one of my good friends, Grace. She has moved recently and I'm sad, but I know she is happy! Thanks Grace!
Her clothes and bows were purchased from an etsy store, but it is now closed. Her sandals are from Target.
Here's my cute little cupcake….LOVE her!! Photos taken by Paula Stiller Photography. Thank you Paula! Always the best! Love you my friend!
Big sister wore this cupcake outfit. I found it HERE.
I found this cupcake online…didn't save the site…sorry 🙁 I loved it to use as a centerpiece for the tables.
I used scrapbook paper and my hole punch to make this cupcake. I took it to Staples and they printed it in color for me. I taped these to purple paper bags. Each child got one.
The cake was my favorite! It was made by sweeticakes.com. She's wonderful!
My sister and I decorated the cupcakes….aren't they pretty?
Birthday banner and other party supplies were purchased from Birthday Express.
I also made cupcake bites wrapped in a cello baggie with a photo magnet to give to each family as a "Thank you for coming to celebrate with us!".
Here's my family in case you were wondering what we look like….ha!
This was it! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
I hope you find ideas for your cupcake party!
Lovely Birthday… well I love cupcakes!
Hermoso, me encanta la verdad es que eres bien talentosa.
Podrias decirme como colocastes la cajita de fans de facebook. Sabras que ayer me puse a intentar hacer la mia y termine creando tres paginas de esas y a la hora de la verdad no se ni como llegar,ja que novatada.


other than that things have been awesome, I've been teaching much more in the student support department than I thought I would be, but thats turning out to be a really rewarding experience, and I'm descovering just how much I like tutoring maths, which I never thought I would. the only problem with work so far has been the grade 1 and 2 (same as y1and 2) IT class which has been interesting as there is no scheme of work, I have no training in behavioural management of 5-7 year olds, and we have almost no specific IT resources for that agegroup, It has been fun though, (forgeting the extremely whiny MR MUNDAY I CANT DO IT, MR MUNDAY WHY is MY MOUSE BROKEN, Mr MUNDAY WHAT DOES Th... thhh...the... mean???) the kids are great as long as you make them pretend that their bottom is glued to the floor with magic glue and that you somehow have magic powers that mean they have to do everything they say. Primary teachers I salute you with awe.
Anyway, It turns out my line manager doesnt want me to teach those classes any more because I need the time to figure out what to do with my maths tutees...tutorees... maths students. so thats all good :) I've found maths is much mor enjoyable for me and for the kids if we're all drawing on the whiteboard doing questions that can obviously be applied to real life :) My line manager kim is awesome, I'm working in the shared english, ESL (english as a second language) and study support office. on my right I have sandra oh, an australian who has been in kathmandu for the last two years working in ESL, she's verry short but makes up for it in character, behind me is my aussie housemate amanda, who I've told you about before and on my right is Kim thorpe, my line manager, the legend who has been in nepal for ages, married to a man in the brittish army, out here working with the ghurkas.
outside school, things have been interesting aswell, I was preparing to go on a motorcycle trip to the tibetan border with a bunch of guys, but since I was ill I didnt get enough time to practice and so, (after a minor collision on the way to the bike rent shop where we where meeting to leave this morning), I decided I'd give it a few more weeks before I go on a major adventure. also I need to take some rest after being Ill.
but this weekend, since all my friends are riding to the tibetan border I'm a little stuck for things to do... I'm determined to make it count though, as I could be doing something amazing right now, instead I'm sitting in cafe soma with my laptop, reading my lonely planet guide, trying to figure out if its worth getting the bus to chandrakot, having a cup of chiya, admiring the view then getting the bus back.


Want family portraits of your own? Contact me to book your session today!
I have always enjoyed how the subjects of your pictures always appear so clear and sharp. IMHO, what's even more impressive is that your backgrounds are consistently interesting and yet they don't detract from, but instead enhance, your subjects. Do you think this is because of how you make your backgrounds less focused, your choice of site, or your overall "eye" that creates this effect? Great job as always!

Childhood Sex Abuse Survivor Sues Harrisburg Diocese and Bishops for Concealing Knowledge of Pedophile Priests
Posted on behalf of Janet, Janet & Suggs, LLC on August 12, 2019 in Firm News
Richard M. Serbin, Chair of the JJS Sexual Abuse Division, speaks of a new lawsuit that he has filed on behalf of Don Asbee, who was repeatedly raped as a child by two priests when he was an altar boy at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Milton, PA. The suit follows a landmark ruling by the PA Superior Court earlier this month, which allows survivors, who have previously been barred from seeking justice through statute of limitations laws, to file on the grounds of conspiracy and fraud.
This latest lawsuit names the Harrisburg Roman Catholic Diocese, its current Bishop, and a former Bishop alleging conspiracy and fraud with other Bishops, as well as the Vatican for covering up the child sexual abuse crisis within the Catholic Church.
(Harrisburg, PA, July 23, 2019) – A man who states he was repeatedly raped by two priests when he was an altar boy at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Milton, PA, has filed a lawsuit against the Harrisburg Roman Catholic Diocese, its current Bishop, and a former Bishop alleging a conspiracy and fraud with other Bishops and the Vatican to cover up the child sexual abuse crisis within the Catholic Church.
It is believed to be the first such lawsuit filed in the wake of a June 11th opinion by the Pennsylvania Superior Court that makes it possible, under certain circumstances, for sexual assault victims to file lawsuits outside the statute of limitations, said Richard M. Serbin, lead attorney for the plaintiff.
In the lawsuit filed Monday, July 22, in the Court of Common Pleas, Dauphin County, Donald B. Asbee, 67, alleges repeated assaults and rape by Fathers Raymond Dougherty and Walter Sempko starting when he was nine years old and continuing for more than three years.
"Finally, child survivors of the most heinous kinds of sexual abuse by pedophile priests can fully expose the lengths church leaders went to cover up these crimes. They can look to juries to decide what is fair compensation for the loss of their childhoods and the devastating consequences of being violated by a member of the cloth they were taught to trust and revere," Serbin said.
"Justice is now possible for some survivors who have suffered so much for so long" he added.
Serbin heads the Sex Abuse Division of Janet, Janet & Suggs, a national firm that represents survivors of sexual abuse against perpetrators and the institutions that enable them. Andrew Janet and Natalie D'Antonio, attorneys with Janet, Janet & Suggs' sexual abuse division, are co-counsel with attorney Serbin.
According to the suit, Father Dougherty began assaulting Asbee when he was in the fourth grade, beginning with fondling and continuing until he was laying the child across a desk and sodomizing him. "At times Donald's pain was so great he went in and out of consciousness," the complaint states.
When Dougherty was transferred to another parish, his replacement, Father Sempko, continued the brutal assaults, according to the suit.
"As a result of information recently learned from the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report, Donald now believes that the special medallion given to him by Dougherty was notice to Sempko, his parish successor, that he was the ideal target for abuse," the suit states. Both priests are now deceased, according to the suit.
Asbee decided to seek legal recourse after reading in the grand jury report about the use of medallions to "mark" children and learning about the extent the church went to hide the abuse and protect criminal priests, according to Serbin.
Asbee earlier turned down an offer by the Harrisburg Compensation Fund for $176,875, an amount Serbin called "ridiculously low, given Don's decades of physical, psychological, and financial suffering."
The Vatican and all previous Harrisburg diocese bishops are included as unnamed defendants for conspiring to cover up their knowledge of child predator priests, failing to take steps to prevent the assaults, and moving pedophile priests to other assignments after becoming aware of their criminal actions, Serbin said.
"Children were knowingly placed in harms way because of their concerns about the reputation of the church," Serbin said.
The Superior Court ruled in Rice v. Diocese of Altoona, a case filed by Serbin, that under certain factual situations child sexual abuse lawsuits could be filed past statute of limitation time limits. Both the Rice case and the Asbee case allege conspiracy, fraud and constructive fraud, raising factual questions the court held must be decided by a jury, not a judge, Serbin said.
New York, New Jersey and other states recently passed laws granting a window of opportunity for all child sexual assault victims to file civil suits even when statute of limitations have expired, Serbin noted.
"While the Catholic Church publicly maintains that it is concerned about sexual abuse survivors and that the survivors deserve justice, Pennsylvania dioceses have spent millions on lobbyists to enlist legislators to block legislation that would enable victims to seek redress through the courts," Serbin said.
The suit was filed as Asbee v. Diocese of Harrisburg, et al, No. 2019-CV-5539-CV.
Janet, Janet & Suggs represented victim number six in his sexual abuse claim against Penn State University, obtained a record sexual abuse settlement on behalf of 8,000 women against Johns Hopkins Hospital, and is currently serving as one of several liaison law firms for hundreds of individual lawsuits on behalf of sexual abuse survivors who were student patients of a University of Southern California OB/GYN employed by the University to treat women at its health center.

Nana Addo didn't lie, nurses granted financial clearance – Health Ministry
The Ministry of Health has refuted claims by some unemployed nurses that President Akufo-Addo lied when he said the government had granted financial clearance for the employment of over 14,000 graduate nurses during his presentation of the State of the Nation Address.
The Ministry in a statement said it had indeed received clearance from the Ministry of Finance to recruit over 14,000 graduate nurses in April 2019.
The President of the Coalition of Allied Health Professionals, Bright Bell, in a Citi News interview following the president's address said nurses who graduated in 2016 have still not been posted.
He expressed regret at President Akufo-Addo's announcement that the government was working to grant financial clearance to 2017 and 2018 graduate nurses when 2016 graduates were yet to be recruited.
"We have completed in 2016 and 2017 and we are still at home. So if they talk about arrangements for our junior colleagues to be cleared, then we are at a lost because we are still waiting for our clearance. I think that facts must be laid bare so that we can all understand the situation," Bright Bell said.
Bright Bell's reaction was supported by other nursing groups who said they were yet to be employed.
But the Health Ministry in its press statement said President Akufo-Addo did not err in his statement and that the names of those recruited can be verified.
"[The Health Ministry] wishes to reiterate the President's statement that it has received financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance to employ 14,254 nurse assistants (clinical and preventive) from government nursing training institutions and the names have been verified by the Nursing and Midwifery Council," the statement said.
The statement issued by the Ministry, and signed by Nana Kwabena Adjei-Mensah, the Chief Director of the Ministry, indicated that postings to the various health agencies were ongoing and nurses can contact the ministry for updates on the process.

Botox works by weakening muscle contraction.
If muscles are causing facial wrinkles, then botox will help.
The amount of botox needed depends on how strong the muscles are. Some people will therefore need more units of botox than others.
The first time that I give you botox, I will start with a lower dose of fewer units. This is because I can always add more, but if I use too much, I cannot take it away.
Botox takes about 4 to 7 days for full effect. Although different companies offer different botox preparations, scientific comparisons have revealed only minor differences.
After 4 to 7 days, we evaluate the effect that the botox produced. If the effect is not enough, then more units of botox are added, and we reevaluate again in another week. In this way, we determine the safest dose of botox for you - enough to produce the desired effect, but not too much to produce unwanted deformities.
After the first series of injections have determined your specific dose, then we do not have to repeat the trial again.
Botox injections last three months. During that time, the muscle is weakening. If the botox is allowed to wear off, then the muscle will strengthen quickly and the wrinkles will return. If, however, the muscle is reinjected at three months from the first injection, then the muscle will continue to weaken. If this process is repeated, the muscle weakens to the point that reinjections may only be necessary once a year.

Man accused of repeatedly stealing couple's car and returning it
By Stefania Okolie
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man is accused of stealing an elderly couple's car in the middle of the night - while they were asleep - and returning it before they woke up.
Police said the man used the couple's van as a getaway car in other vehicle break-ins.
Beverly Havard, who lived in the Pinehurst neighborhood for 40 years, said she misplaced her spare key and started noticing changes with her vehicle.
"The seat was pulled back and the mirrors were adjusted," Beverly said.
She said she started tracking her vehicle's mileage, which was also changing.
"I said, 'Somebody's driving my car and bringing it back. I know I'm not crazy,' Beverly said.
Friday night, authorities arrested Michael Armando Lopez after they caught him in the Harvard's car.
Deputies said when they tried to stop him, he sped off and crashed into a pole.
Now, the Harvard's are left without a vehicle, which was specially designed for Beverly's disabled husband, Rick.
"I had to cancel his doctor's appointment," she said. "I hope he's satisfied that he took advantage of an elderly person that's very sick and that can't be transported to go anywhere."
Deputies say taking the car isn't the only crime Lopez committed. Surveillance video captured, a man, who investigators believe to be Lopez, rummaging through cars in the couple's neighborhood.
Deputies told ABC13 Eyewitness News that during the several nights Lopez took the Harvard's van he burglarized other people's cars.

Today 28th of December, 2017 writing about an old project here tested a few years back using SDR (software defined radio) relating to the downloading of NOAA weather maps directly from satellite. Today this endeavor uses an RPi 2-3 running Jessie and an SDR NOAA radio "kit" available on Ebay. The kit includes both SDR and antenna.
Tested radio and found it working just fine. It is only three scripts that need to run.
It is interesting that the software utilized for Satellite tracking has been around forever and part of the Ubuntu base install. Basically you just configure the software with your home coordinates, satellites you want to watch and the software does everything else.
The original RPi project uses Jessie. Here testing with Wheezy.
I am now at the point of downloading images from the NOAA satellites. It works except I only get static at this point and need to adjust my antenna.

Sony has today announced a bridge camera with a 24-600mm f/2.4 equivalent lens.
Boasting a 25x zoom, the Sony RX10 III features a 20.1-million-pixel, 1.0-type imaging sensor and 4K recording. It also includes 1,000 frames per second slow-motion recording at 'ultra-telephoto' and a claimed AF speed of 0.09sec. The Vario-Sonnar T* lens features a nine-blade diaphragm. The Sony RX10 III is due out in April, priced £1,250. AP understands, from a Sony press conference this afternoon, that the 24-600mm lens borrows much of its technology from Sony's other recent lenses. Mark Weir, senior technical manager for digital imaging at Sony USA, suggested that the lens is just as responsive as the lens on the RX10 II. Features also include macro focusing down to 3cm in wide mode. The anti-distortion shutter is designed to shoot at up to 1/32000sec – with no distortion – which should be useful for sports and wildlife. The electronic shutter aims to enable silent shooting, while the lens rings allow adjustment of focus, zoom and aperture. The focus-hold button – which also works as a function button – is now located on the lens barrel.
Sony today introduced the latest addition to the award-winning line of RX Cyber-shot cameras, the new RX10 III (DSC-RX10M3). Featuring a newly developed extended 25x super-telephoto zoom lens with an incredible focal range of 24-600mm and silent shutter capability, it is designed for demanding photographers and videographers who want to shoot fast moving, far away subjects such as sports events, concerts or wild animals. It is able to reproduce high-quality content at a variety of focal lengths and camera settings that would require more than three, large lenses for an interchangeable-lens camera user.
The jewel in the crown of the RX10 III is the newly developed ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens. Covering a huge 24-600mm (25x Optical magnification) [vi] focal range, the RX10 III is ideal in a range of different shooting conditions, from wide angle scenery shots to ultra-telephoto images of sports events or wild birds, all in one compact package. The large-aperture lens (F2.4-4.0) maximises the ability of the 1.0-type large sensor to achieve high image quality and beautiful bokeh, even in the ultra-telephoto region.
Newly designed optics include eight ED glass elements including one super ED glass element, and two ED aspherical lenses [vii]. All of these elements work together to compensate for chromatic aberration that often afflicts telephoto lenses and results in high-contrast and ultra-sharp image quality from corner to corner across the entire zoom range. The newly developed optical design contains the sophisticated advanced aspherical (AA) lens and delivers excellent imaging performance while keeping the lens unit itself small. Additionally, with a minimum focusing distance of 72cm at a fully extended 600mm (0.49x maximum magnification), the new lens is capable of producing amazingly detailed tele-macro images. The ZEISS® T* Coating minimises flare and ghosting that often affects image quality in adverse lighting conditions and delivers faithful colour reproduction and clear image expression.
The aperture unit has nine blades that are designed to create a near-perfect circle in the F2.4 to F11 aperture range which enables soft, beautiful bokeh expression. The Optical SteadyShotTM algorithm has been optimised for the lens design of the RX10 III and delivers up to 4.5 stops [viii] image stabilisation for outstanding protection against camera shake, even when shooting from the hand in ultra-telephoto or low-light conditions.
The RX10 III features a 1.0-type stacked CMOS sensor with DRAM chip which is back-illuminated to allow it to collect light more efficiently. Combined with the BIONZ X image processing engine, the RX10 III achieves a wide sensitivity range of ISO 64 [ix]-ISO 12800, with low noise, even at high sensitivity settings. It employs a stacked structure that places the high-speed signal processing circuit on a different layer from the pixel area, significantly expanding the signal processing circuit and achieving astonishing high-speed processing. The DRAM chip at the rear of the sensor temporarily stores and allows readout of large volumes of signal data which can be processed without delay, enabling super slow motion recording at up to 1000fps.iii This is especially beneficial when capturing dynamic footage from a long distance, such as stadium based sports events where close access to the subjects is impossible but impactful, high quality footage is required. The accelerated readout of data from the image sensor also delivers a major reduction in image distortion of fast-moving subjects such as tennis players or animals on the move.
With shutter speeds as fast as 1/32000 second, the electronic shutter performs comparably to mechanical shutters that don't distort images. Moreover, the electronic shutter can operate silently, so you can shoot recitals, wildlife and other sensitive subjects without disrupting the scene. Continuous shooting is possible at up to 14fps [x] which enables the photographer to capture moments of fleeting beauty or facial expressions. In addition, the RX10 III offers accurate tracking during continuous shooting with AF at up to 5fps.
The RX10 III records video in 4K [xi] quality at a high bit rate[xii] in the highly efficient XAVC S format with full pixel readout and no pixel binning. This means that it captures approximately 1.7x more information than is required for 4K movie output and this oversampling effect enhances image detail as it minimises moiré and jaggies. The newly developed lens means that the camera can shoot high-quality 4K movies between 24-600mm, enabling huge flexibility in the types of shooting situations that can be captured. Furthermore, the inclusion of a high-speed front-end LSI assists the BIONZ X high-speed image processing engine in significantly reducing the rolling shutter phenomenon that can often distort how fast-moving subjects appear in 4K movies.
Full technical details of the RX10 III can be seen here and it will be available in the UK from April priced at £1,250.

When considering where to start or raise a family in The United States of America, the Sunshine State is a good idea, as the nickname suggests. Weather will be a huge plus. Averaging with 241 sunny days per year, Florida is a great state for outdoor activities which are a great benefit for growing children. Nothing like a sunny day to go and play outside, or visit Disney World. And for parents, no income tax. Combining that with the relatively low cost of housing(except for a few cities) and you will have a hard time not finding a good place for your family out of all the best places for families in Florida.
Big city vs small town?
Crime and poverty rate will be big contributors to the safety of both you and your family. Looking upon frequency and type of crimes committed will give you a good picture of what to expect in your future neighborhood. Big cities are always going to be more dangerous. But, more people will give your children more potential friends. In order to grow up happy and healthy, children need to socialize with their peers, and the percentage of the young population will give you an idea of what to expect. Small cities are safer but can be lacking in potential friends for your kids.
Another thing to weigh out when figuring out the best places for families in Florida is cost of living. To do that is fairly simple when you are single. Add up rent, utilities, and food and you are ready to go. Just check the average household income for your future area. But that tends to change when kids come around. Don't be surprised when daycare cost more than college tuition. Economic Policy institute found that infant care takes up 16.6% of a typical family's annual income. And if you are thinking of buying a house, consider home value change. As you may have figured, buying a house is not a small investment. Waiting a couple of years can have a big effect on the price depending on the area you are settling in. It might be smart to rent for the first couple of months. Don't rush into buying property.
Big cities are always going to be more expensive but also with a bigger average income. More dangerous, but with more people and diversity. More opportunities, but more headaches. Try figuring out what's best for you, before moving your family to Florida.
As you will soon find out, there will be a lot of potential places for a family living in Florida, even when you put in all the filters. Here are a few that we think should definitely be considered.
Let's start off with a good, but an expensive one. The city of Doral has the highest median monthly housing cost in the state. Although, that is offset by a good potential of high monthly income. The average house in Doral earns just below $73.000 per year.
Also, having 31% of people being under 20 makes Doral a city full of young families to socialize with.
One of the safest in the state. Having both crime and unemployment low, helps Pembroke Pines be a fairly safe environment. It is a bit expensive, but with having such low unemployment, finding a job shouldn't be a problem.
Just west of West Palm Beach lies Wellington village. But don't let that label fool you. Wellington is the most populous village in the state. Although, the reason why it still isn't a city, maybe the high housing costs at $1700 per month. That is a countered by a high household income, at $81000 per year. So it is a good balance. Another thing to admire Wellington for is its solid high school graduate rate at 79,4%.
If you are looking for work while searching for the best places for families in Florida, Boca Raton could be a place for you. It has a ninth-lowest unemployment rate in the country. Also, it has recently experienced a significant increase in median home values.
If, on the other hand, safety is your biggest concern when finding a place to live in Florida, North Port is the spot for you. Having violent crime rate at 165 out of 100,000 residents makes North Port a relatively safe place to raise a family. Education is another great plus, having a high school graduation rate at 79%. Although childcare costs can be high, at $163 per week to keep a child in private daycare. So survive kinder garden, and you can pretty much count on a college degree.
Winter Garden seems to be the biggest bang for your buck. Young people make up 28% of the local population, so there is plenty of potential friends for your children. It also has a low unemployment rate at 5.9%. Combine that with a relatively strong local economy, and you have a good financial situation to look forward to. One thing to look out for is the high housing cost at $1,215 monthly. But overall it is definitely one of the best places for families in Florida.
The City of Coral Springs is a fairly young city. In both its age, being charted in 1963, and in population, the distribution having 29% of the population under 20 years of age. The City itself has a substantially low crime rate. Education is also a big plus for Coral Springs. Having 39% of all adults obtaining bachelors degree while the national average is 27,2%.


LONDON- Leading Brexit supporters on Wednesday denied reports they were manoeuvering to remove Prime Minister Theresa May -- while stepping up opposition to her plan to withdraw Britain from the EU.
ERG leader Jacob Rees-Mogg, who did not attend Tuesday's meeting, told reporters at an event on Wednesday that he wanted May to stay on.
She will meet other EU leaders at an informal summit in Salzburg, Austria, next week, ahead of a formal summit in Brussels in mid-October.
Both sides hope to reach a deal by early November on the terms of the divorce and the outlines of a future trading relationship.
British eurosceptics want a straightforward free trade agreement with the EU, but this has raised questions of how to avoid border checks in Ireland.
At Wednesday's event, the ERG outlined how the Irish issue could be resolved with technology and trusted trader schemes -- and Davis expressed hope that May will change her approach.
"My view is we'll end up in a different place, a reset after Salzburg," he said.But some Brexit supporters believe a showdown with MPs is inevitable.
She predicted a leadership challenge when the Brexit deal was done. "It'll be in November, when parliament votes on the deal," she said.

Perdeaua de protecție, numită și perdea forestieră de protecție, perdea anti-vânt sau antivânt, este o asociație vegetală creată de om reprezentând o fâșie îngustă și lungă de teren plantată cu specii lemnoase (arbori și arbuști) amplasată la marginea unor obiective de protejat, cu rolul de a apăra culturile agricole, solurile nisipoase, digurile de baraj și canalele de irigație de acțiunea dăunătoare a unor factori climatici nefavorabili (eroziune, evaporație, vânturi puternice, calde și uscate, viscole, valuri de ape revărsate etc.). Perdelele se diferențiază după obiectivul de protejat, funcțiile pe care le au de îndeplinit, condițiile fizico-geologice (climă, sol), formă, lățime, structură orizontală și verticală, compoziție specifică.

Cele mai cunoscute perdele sunt cele pentru protecția culturilor agricole din zonele secetoase. Funcția principală a perdelele de protecție este modificarea unor factori climatici excesivi și aducerea acestora pe cât posibil la parametri normali, suportabili, atât în interiorul perdelei (microfitoclimat) cât mai ales pe câmpurile limitrofe, printre care: micșorarea amplitudinilor termice în aer și sol, modificarea (scăderea) vitezei vântului, cu efectele sale benefice asupra mediului și plantelor (scăderea evapotranspirației, împiedicarea spulberării solului și a zăpezii, oprirea dezrădăcinării culturilor, reducerea scurgerilor de suprafață etc.), ameliorarea regimului aerohidric și pedohidric. Prin aceasta, perdelele contribuie la sporirea producției agricole.

Perdelele de protecție sunt plantate cu diferite specii de cultură (cereale, arbori naturali) sau silvice, multianuale, perpendicular pe direcția curentului dominant, cu scopul de-a proteja culturile de efectele vânturilor și a le ameliora microclimatul. Se utilizează și perdelele de protecție simple, anuale, în legumicultură, formate din sorg, porumb etc. mai ales în culturile de castraveți, ardei.

Perdelele de protecție reduc viteza vântului de la o distanță egală cu 5-10 ori înălțimea maximă a arborilor din care sunt compuse, în partea de unde bate vântul. Pentru terenurile îndiguite și pentru lacurile de baraj, perdelele de protecție amortizează acțiunea valurilor provocate de vânt și apără digurile și malurile de eroziune. În terenurile irigate perdelele de protecție reduc cu cca 30% pierderile de apă prin evaporație din lacuri, canale și de la suprafața solului și a plantelor. Prin modificările aduse climatului local, perdelele de protecție creează condiții favorabile culturilor agricole din spațiul aflat sub influența lor, contribuind la sporirea recoltelor cu 10-20% în anii normali și în cei cu ploi mai puțin abundente, și cu 30-100% în anii secetoși sau foarte secetoși. Perdelele de protecție se alcătuiesc din specii adecvate scopului urmărit și condițiilor climatice din zona respectivă. În teritoriile irigate se folosesc hibrizi de plop de mare productivitate (ex.: de plop canadian), iar în regiunile inundabile: plopul, salcia, răchita, aninul, sângerul etc.; în zona de stepă speciile de bază sunt salcâmul în amestec cu stejarul și arțarul și diferiți arbuști sau specii fructifere (caisul, piersicul, cireșul, gutuiul, migdalul etc.). Perdelele de protecție creează condiții favorabile dezvoltării unui mare număr de animale de vânat (ex.: fazani, potârnichi, iepuri, căprioare) sau utile agriculturii (insecte și păsări entomofage) și, în plus, oferă lemn și alte produse forestiere care lipsesc în zonă.

Clasificarea perdelelor forestiere de protecție
Conform Ordinului nr. 636 din 23 decembrie 2002 privind aprobarea îndrumărilor tehnice silvice pentru înființarea, îngrijirea și conducerea vegetației forestiere din perdelele forestiere de protecție perdelele de protecție sunt clasificate în 3 categorii marii.

 După scopul pentru care se creează, perdelele forestiere de protecție se clasifică astfel:
 Perdele forestiere pentru protecția terenurilor agricole contra factorilor climatici dăunători și pentru ameliorarea condițiilor climatice din perimetrul apărat;
 Perdele forestiere antierozionale, de protejare a solului supus fenomenelor de eroziune cauzată de vânt sau de apă;
 Perdele forestiere pentru protecția căilor de comunicație și de transport, respectiv de apărare a acestora împotriva înzăpezirilor;
 Perdele forestiere pentru protecția digurilor și a malurilor contra curenților, viiturilor, gheții, etc.

Gilded Age/Progressive Era History Top Ten Booklist
American Colossus: The Triumph of Capitalism, 1865-1900 by H.W. Brands
Creating a Top Ten List for the Gilded Age/Progressive Era is challenging. There are an extraordinary number of outstanding books on this period. These books are a selection of our favorites. Most of these books are focused on trying to define this era as whole, instead of focusing on a single issue. In other words, several of these books are seeking to create a grand narrative of the era to help their readers understand it.
Admittedly, the border between the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era is somewhat murky. There are not any of the easy starting and stopping points that can be pointed to for defining eras such as Colonial America, the American Civil War, Reconstruction or the Cold War. Arguably, even the term Gilded Age is somewhat archaic and perhaps the era should be renamed. In a way, this listed is focused on the last thirty years of the Nineteenth Century and the implications of those decades on the start of the Twentieth Century. Many people have pointed to similarity of the issues between the Gilded Age/Progressive Era and our present America (technology, income inequality, immigration, expansion of government, big business, extreme wealth, etc.).
As with all of our booklists, if you disagree with this expert booklist you can create a new and better one.
Richard Hofstader, The Age of Reform (Vintage Books, 1955) - Richard Hofstadter's Pulitzer Prize winning was the best synthesis of the Populist and Progressive movements when it was published in 1955. Hofstader focused on the ideas that drove social movements that defined the era. It showed how people's ideas guided the reform organizations that sought to remake America.
Nell Painter, Standing at Armageddon: The United States, 1877-1919 (W.W. Norton & Company, 1987) Award winning historian Nell Irvin Painter's book describes how America began to shift from an agrarian to an urban society. Painter focuses on the lives of working people and wonderfully integrates African Americans and women into her narrative. Her book is a beautifully written synthesis of this era.
Charles Postel, The Populist Vision (Oxford University Press) The Populist Vision is probably the best single volume narrative on the creation of populism. Postel describes how populism started in the fields and slowly migrated into urban areas. Postel's book is a perfect counterbalance to Hofstader's Age of Reform.
Michael McGerr, A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, 1870-1920 (Oxford University Press, 2005) McGerr's book shows how Progressive reformers walked a fine line balancing between advancing the social good and individual liberty. She describes how conservatives eventually slowed the tide of social reform and pushed back against the increasingly liberal use of governmental power.
W. H. Brands, American Colossus: The Triumph of Capitalism, 1865-1900 (Random House, 2010) American Colossus describes the rise of capitalist titans such J. Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. Brands places these titans at the center of a tale to show how capitalism connected to Reconstruction, the Indian Wars, the urban labor and agraian populists. In addition to being an outstanding historian, American Colossus is the work of extraordinary storyteller.
Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore, Gender and Jim Crow: Women and the Politics of White Supremacy in North Carolina, 1896-1920 (UNC Press, 1996) Between Gender and Jim and Crow and Gilmore's other masterpiece Defying Dixie, Gilmore has illuminated the critical role African American women played as civil rights activists. As Jim Crow reordered southern society, women fought for the creation of southern progressivism. Gilmore's book is unique take on the expansion and impact of Jim Crow.
Edward L. Ayers, The Promise of the New South: Life After Reconstruction (Oxford University Press, 2007 - 15th Anniversary edition) Ayers book is a nuanced and complete view of the South after Reconstruction. Ayers is more concerned with everyday citizens than political actors, but this approach shows how the South balanced tradition and a modernizing world.
The Metaphysical Club by Louis Menand
Louis Menand, The Metaphysical Club: A Story of Ideas in America (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2002) The Metaphysical Club won the Pulitzer prize for its extraordinary take on a group of Progressive Era intellectuals. His book shows how these intellectuals brought America into the modern world with their brand of philosophical pragmatism.
Daniel T. Rodgers, Atlantic Crossings: Social Politics in a Progressive Age (Belknap Press, 2000 ) Rodgers demonstrates the trans-Atlantic nature of progressivism. Instead of being simply American phenomenon, Rodgers shows how progressives relied on an international network of people with similar goals.
Robert H. Wiebe, The Search for Order, 1877-1920 (Hill and Wang, 1966) Wiebe's innovative book shows how the spread of technology, science and industrialization forced America to create a unified nation in an increasing impersonal world. While Wiebe's work was published in 1966, it is still an essential book for understanding the Progressive Era.

Uncovering the Fundamentals of Cell Shape Control in Normal and Disease Scenarios
My research goals are to understand how cells interface biochemistry and mechanics to perform dynamic cell shape change during processes such as cell division, cell motility, and cellular morphogenesis. I am also interested in how cells sense and respond to mechanical inputs, which help direct their behavior. This process of mechanosensing is fundamental to a broad array of healthy physiology, such as hearing, blood pressure regulation, bone remodeling, durotaxis, and stem cell decisions. We have found that cell division (cytokinesis) naturally encompasses all these cell behaviors with the added value that cytokinesis is of fundamental medical importance as a source of novel anti-cancer drug targets. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has been our principle model of choice because it undergoes cytokinesis and cell motility in a manner that is highly analogous to mammalian cells and is highly tractable for genetic through engineering approaches. In our research, we employ a broad range of conceptually distinct research strategies, ranging from genetics, biochemistry and advanced quantitative microscopy to engineering and computational biology. To accomplish this, I have recruited a diverse group of researchers in my lab whose expertise span these disciplines and have trained 78 people in my lab to date. My own training was in developmental genetics with Lynn Cooley at Yale and biochemistry with Jim Spudich at Stanford. We collaborate closely with computational biologist Pablo Iglesias (JHU Electrical and Computer Engineering). We also work with Ron Rock at University of Chicago to apply single molecule methods to study the force-dependent assembly and function of proteins involved in cellular mechanosensing.
My lab has also branched out considerably to apply our conceptual approaches to a diversity of other cell shape change and cellular mechanosensing processes through collaboration with several investigators. With Janice Evans (formerly, JHU School of Public Health), we examined the mechanics of mammalian oocyte maturation, meiotic cell division, block to polyspermy, and oocyte aging. With Mike Overholtzer (Sloan Kettering), we studied the mechanics of entosis, the process by which one cell engulfs another and which is common in many solid tumors. With Elizabeth Chen (UT Southwestern), we examined the biochemical basis of the cell mechanics that guide and control of myoblast fusion during muscle development. We are also working with Ramana Sidhaye to study the molecular mechanical basis for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We also seek to engineer cells to be able to perform specialized tasks. Towards this end, we are working with Pablo Iglesias, Peter Devreotes (JHU Cell Biology), Takanari Inoue (JHU Cell Biology), and Tamara O'Connor (JHU Biological Chemistry) to engineer cells with enhance pathogen hunting ability.
My lab has been working with Robert Anders (JHU Pathology) to study the mechanics of liver and pancreatic cancer progression. Now we have built an interdisciplinary team to use the mechanobiology of pancreatic cancer progression to guide the discovery of new therapeutic strategies. This team includes Robert Anders, Pablo Iglesias, Elizabeth Jaffee (JHU Oncology), and Caren Freel Meyers (JHU Pharmacology).
Finally, we utilize our foundational science to discover, characterize, and develop small molecules that target the mechanobiology of the cell in order to guide cell behavior. This includes high throughput screening using live-cell assays. Our first compound has advanced to the stage of having been tested in animal models of metastatic pancreatic and colorectal cancer.

Crypto Ban in India 'Difficult to Implement', Says Ashima Goyal of India's Monetary Policy Committee: Report
A member of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has given relief to Indian crypto investors from rumors that the crypto sector may be completely banned in the country. Ashima Goyal recently said in an interview with Press Trust of India that it is difficult to implement a complete ban on crypto-related activities. According to Goyal, India will not legalize any cryptocurrency as legal tender, mainly because it is likely to be misused for illegal activities. Cryptocurrencies are not regulated by any financial body in the world and allow massive cross-border transactions in an instant and untraceable manner.
Goyal in his interview denied calling crypto coins "currency", saying that they are neither sufficient nor acceptable as a payment option in India.
The Economist believes that these decentralized digital assets should be called "crypto tokens" and that these tokens should be regulated by India's governing authority, the Press Trust of India. Reported,
Earlier in November, India listed a crypto-centric agenda for discussion in the winter session of Parliament. A "cryptocurrency bill" had to be expanded for approval, which reportedly called for a ban on all private cryptocurrencies in the country.
According to Summary According to the bill, the Indian government plans to impose a general ban on all activities by any person on mining, production, holding, selling, (or) dealing in digital currencies as a "medium of exchange, store of value and as a unit". Was being Cause".
Violation of rules was listed as a non-bailable Crime,
However, the bill did not reach Parliament and instead it was first submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet for approval.
There's no word about the document since.
"Big transactions can be allowed only from risk-aware investors," Goyal said. cryptocurrency can work in the country.
Earlier this week, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) requested the government to completely ban crypto activities in the country. Excessive price volatility as well as the potential for misuse emerged as the RBI's top concerns.
The chaos over the regulation of cryptocurrency in India comes at a time when the sector is expanding rapidly in the world's second most populous country.
Many studies from research firms such as seer guru And BrokerChoose has revealed that India has the largest number of crypto investors in the world. This number is being told about 100 crores.
Meanwhile, the year 2021 turned out to be a milestone for the crypto sector.
Last year, the global crypto market capitalization soared to $3 trillion (approximately Rs 2,15,66,720 crore) and created a new all-time high.
In September last year, while El Salvador Legalized bitcoin as legal tender in the country.
However, in the same month China imposed a complete ban on all crypto activities, making it a punishable offence.
India's stand on the crypto space is still awaited.
