Crypto.com CEO Announces 20% Staff Cut, Claiming He 'Didn't Count On' FTX Crash
Chris Marsalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com, has announced a new wave of layoffs that will reduce the global workforce by an additional 20%, due to adverse market conditions and "recent industry events."
"Today we made the difficult decision to reduce our global workforce by approximately 20%," Marsalek said in a company statement published Jan. 3.
As I shared with the team today, while we continue to perform well, market conditions and recent industry events have made this the right decision for the company at this time.
– Chris | Crypto.com (kris) January 13, 2023
– Chris | Crypto.com (kris)
"All affected individuals have already been notified. These reductions were in no way related to your performance and we express our deepest gratitude for all of your contributions to Crypto.com."
Marsalek said several factors influenced the decision, including "ongoing economic headwinds and unexpected industry events." The cuts come despite the cryptocurrency exchange reaching more than 70 million users worldwide.
Our ambition has grown in early 2022, building on our incredible momentum and aligning ourselves with the trajectory of the industry as a whole. This trajectory changed rapidly with a confluence of negative economic factors."
The cryptocurrency exchange announced smaller layoffs in June, cutting 5% of its workforce. Equivalent to about 260 individuals.
Marsalek said last year's layoffs made it weather the macroeconomic crisis, but failed to account for the effects of the November FTX crash, which he said "significantly damaged confidence in the industry."
"That is why, as we continue to focus on prudent financial management, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to make further cuts to position the company for long-term success."
Just a few days ago, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced that it will cut 950 employees to reduce operating costs by about 25% amid the current crypto winter.
Other cryptocurrency exchanges that announced layoffs in the past month include Kraken, Swyftx, and Huobi.
Bitcoin price reaches $18,900 and it could approach the new resistance level. Increase ETH, ADA, DOGE, SOL, AXS, FLOW, and STEPN by up to 14%

Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series
Find out how the Core M hybrid stacks up in terms of performance and battery life...
by: Mike Jennings
Core M has good performance and great efficiency; Superb battery life; Stonking screen quality; Great ergonomics
High price; Plain design; Haswell has more pure speed; Several rivals are thinner and lighter
Dell's latest Latitude is one of the most expensive hybrids around. The main reason it's upwards of 1,200, is because the 7000 series is one of the first to ship with Intel's latest Core M technology, which brings plenty of advantages.
The Impact of Intel Core M
Core M processors mark the debut of the Broadwell revision. The reduction in chip size from 22nm to 14nm delivers significant reduction in power consumption via improved voltage regulation and on-chip controllers. This is done without any detrimental effect on performance.
The power drop in particular is drastic. The Dell's Core M-5Y10 has a top power draw of 4.5W a huge reduction from the 11.5W and 15W requirements of previous low-power Core i3 and Core i5 Haswell chips.
These improvements mean Intel can drop its clock speeds another move to reduce energy requirements. The Core M-5Y10 motors along at 800MHz and tops out at 2GHz when the Turbo kicks in hundreds of Megahertz lower than older silicon.
Core M also has redesigned integrated graphics. The M-5Y10's HD Graphics 5300 core is a mid-range Broadwell GPU clocked at a top speed of 800MHz.
The lower clock speed and power draw makes Core M sound like a low-impact chip, but that's not the case.
The Latitude scored 48/100 in our benchmarks, which isn't as abysmal as it looks. It's only one point slower than the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro, which had a faster Broadwell processor and double the RAM. In general it's around 10 points slower than last generation Haswell hybrids, which tended to deploy more power hungry Core i5 silicon.
The Latitude 13 is best used for word processing and web browsing. And, while the Latitude's Broadwell chip returned a middling benchmark score, we rarely noticed its lack of speed in real-world use: Windows 8.1's Start screen and the desktop both proved snappy, applications loaded quickly and we never encountered serious delays.
The HD Graphics 5300 core helped the Latitude score 77/100 in our Photoshop test. It doesn't quite match the 85/100 scored by the Lenovo, but it still highlights this chip's potential in graphical applications.
Broadwell's reduced thermal footprint bodes well for heat and noise: the Latitude is silent when running demanding software, and the temperature of the chip did not rise above 59C.
Core M isn't the only future-proofed component here. Storage comes from a 256GB Samsung PM851 SSD, which connects using the newer M.2 standard rather than the traditional SATA 6 port a move that seems to have paid off, with a rapid 12s boot time. The Samsung's sequential read and write speeds of 470MB/s and 187MB/s are mediocre, although this never translated to sluggish real-world pace.
Broadwell's improved efficiency helped battery life, and Dell gives the Latitude a helping hand by installing two batteries: a 30Wh unit sits in the screen, and a 20Wh power pack sits below the keyboard.
With both batteries deployed the Dell lasted for 7 hours and 15 minutes in our standard video loop test (75 per cent brightness, Wi-Fi off). That's 30 mins ahead of the Lenovo Yoga, and 3 hours behind Apple's MacBook Pros, but it's still a decent result. The Dell can handle working all day a web-browsing test with the screen at lesser brightness levels saw the dual batteries make it to the 10 hour mark.
On its own, the tablet lasted for almost 4 hours. Not as impressive, but it's still better than some clunky laptops manage.
Connectivity and Specification
There's no room for Gigabit Ethernet, but connectivity elsewhere is better, with dual-band 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 a good selection for a business notebook. Physical connectivity favours the keyboard, which has 2 x USB 3 ports, an SD card slot and a mini-DisplayPort connector. The tablet has the headphone jack, and our sample has a smart card slot and a fingerprint reader but those latter two are optional extras.
Four gigabytes of RAM is ample for this class of machine, and businesses will be pleased with TPM 2.0 chip, as this has more security features than the more common TPM 1.2. It's got Intel vPro (remote management), NFC (wireless authentication), and an accelerometer (motion detection).
The Latitude's matte finish and 1,920 x 1,080 resolution are sensible office-based specifications. Brightness of 357cd/m2 means the screen is punchy under office lights and visible in sunlight, and it's backed up by a deep black level (0.3cd/m2).
The contrast ratio of 1,170:1 is better than most laptops, and its aids colour depth every tone is rich, and it's easy to pick apart subtly different shades.
A Delta E of 1.31 is exceptional. It's one of the best results you'll find outside of dedicated workstation hardware and high-end monitors. If screen quality is a key consideration, this is the best we've seen on a hybrid.
Dell has opted for a detachable mechanism, and it's easy to use: slide a latch below the screen and the panel lifts free. The simple design extends to the aesthetic, where Dell has avoided extravagance there are a couple of logos and status lights, but that's it. The Latitude is black, grey and brooding, and it'll cut a serious note in any office.
Build quality is excellent, with a little expected flex in the thinner base and a sturdy back panel protecting the 13.3in screen. With its two halves clasped together the Latitude weighs 1.69kg and is 20mm thick. That compares poorly with the Yoga Pro 3, which tips the scales at 1.2kg and is 12.8mm thick.
It's chunkier than some rivals, but the detachable design gives the Latitude an edge the screen's 930g weight is decent when compared to 2-in-1s from Toshiba and HP.
The only machines Dell's latest can't fight against are the proper tablets, which are lighter and slimmer. Apple's iPad Air 2, for instance, weighs just 440g, and its 9.7in screen makes it more manageable.
The sunken keyboard doesn't look like it would afford much travel, but that's not the case. The keys have good vertical movement, which helps typing feel solid and consistent, and the keys feel light but well-made.
Keys are as comfortable as anything we've used on a hybrid, and not far behind the best fully-fledged notebooks so if you need a hybrid to cope with a large workload, this is worthwhile. Our only complaint, the single-height return key, is minor.
The trackpad is sensitive, but a quick trip to the control panel will fix this. Once it's toned down, the wide, smooth surface proves accurate and responsive, and the two built-in buttons have a pleasant snap.
Specification and Service Options
We've reviewed a mid-range Latitude 13 7000 which initially costs 1,199 but rises to 1,230 because of the upgraded rear panel, which adds the smart card and fingerprint readers. Our sample also has a standard three-year warranty.
Two cheaper models cost 1,151 and 1,175. They've both got the same specification as our sample aside from a 128GB SSD, and the more expensive of this pair adds a next-business-day Pro Support warranty.
A version for 1,223 replicates our sample's specification but adds the improved ProSupport warranty. The priciest model costs 1,271 and only has a 128GB SSD and the basic three-year warranty, but it comes with a Core M-5Y71 processor clocked to 1.2GHz with a Turbo speed of 2.9GHz the fastest available in this new range.
A mobile broadband modem can be added for an extra 56, and accessories are available, with various options for carrying cases and docking stations.
Numerous service options are available. Warranties can be upgraded to four- or five-year deals, data protection packages are available, and elsewhere you'll find accidental damage protection, desktop docking stations and anti-theft markings.
Intel's Core M technology is a substantial step forward for mobile processors. It means machines consume less power and last longer without sacrificing any performance.
Dell pairs the new chip with a fantastic screen, and the smart exterior is paired with a keyboard and trackpad with the quality to help get work done. There are plenty of business features, too.
There's no denying the high price of this machine, though, and proper tablets are still easier to work with than the Dell's detachable screen. But if you're in the market for a hybrid, this is one of the best available.
An all-round hybrid with a good screen and solid battery life.

Queens of the Crusades: England's Medieval Queens Book Two
Author/Contributor(s): Weir, Alison
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Packed with incredible true stories and legendary medieval intrigue, this epic narrative history chronicles the first five queens from the powerful royal family that ruled England and France for over three hundred years.
The Plantagenet queens of England played a role in some of the most dramatic events in our history. Crusading queens, queens in rebellion against their king, seductive queens, learned queens, queens in battle, queens who enlivened England with the romantic culture of southern Europe--these determined women often broke through medieval constraints to exercise power and influence, for good and sometimes for ill.
This second volume of Alison Weir's critically acclaimed history of the queens of medieval England now moves into a period of even higher drama, from 1154 to 1291: years of chivalry and courtly love, dynastic ambition, conflict between church and throne, baronial wars, and the ruthless interplay between the rival monarchs of Britain and France. We see events such as the murder of Becket, the Magna Carta, and the birth of parliaments from a new perspective.
Weir's narrative begins with the formidable Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose marriage to Henry II established a dynasty that ruled for over three hundred years and created the most powerful empire in western Christendom--but also sowed the seeds for some of the most destructive family conflicts in history and for the collapse, under her son King John, of England's power in Europe. The lives of Eleanor's four successors were just as remarkable: Berengaria of Navarre, queen of Richard the Lionheart; Isabella of Angoulême, queen of John; Alienor of Provence, queen of Henry III; and finally Eleanor of Castile, the grasping but beloved wife of Edward I.
Through the story of these first five Plantagenet queens, Alison Weir provides a fresh, enthralling narrative focusing on these fascinating female monarchs during this dramatic period of high romance and sometimes low politics, with determined women at its heart.

Monte Morris Explains Why He Talked Trash to LeBron James During Game
By Jonathan Sherman
During the Los Angeles Lakers' 120-116 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, guard Monte Morris was seen talking trash to LeBron James.
James isn't known to give in to the ample trash talk he receives on the court, but his reaction to what Morris said was plain for all to see.

— ESPN (@espn) February 13, 2020
Morris, a third-year player who is currently averaging 8.5 points per game caught some slack online for getting in the ear of the four-time MVP.
To clarify his actions, the young guard took to social media to explain his approach.
It's always a dream come true to compete against a future HOF you've always idolized coming up. Much respect to Bron and what he's done for the game of basketball. Last night wasn't as major as everyone is making it seem, it was just two individuals from the mud competing for a W
— Monte Morris (@BigGameTae) February 13, 2020
Morris finished Wednesday's game with 12 points, four assists and two rebounds.
As for James, he polished off the overtime win with a masterful 32-point, 14-assist, 12-rebound performance.
It will be interesting to see whether or not Morris tries to get under James' skin again in the future. The two players will meet next in a March 15 matchup in Los Angeles.
After that, it's quite possible the teams will meet in the playoffs.
The Lakers and Nuggets currently sit at the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds of the Western Conference, respectively, heading into All-Star Weekend.

These days, martial arts are something that everyone should know. With crime at an all time high, knowing how to defend yourself is essential. For the children, martial arts can mean a lot of things. Even though martial arts is great for adults to know and practice as well, it is also a great way for children to stay in shape and learn how to defend themselves from attackers.
Although martial arts can teach children how to defend themselves, it will also teach them self control and self confidence as well. If your child has a bad temper or low self esteem, learning a martial art can actually help them to get back on the right path. Martial arts will help children with life in general – which will take them a lot farther in life.
Once you have a style in mind, you'll need to start checking out the local martial arts centers and dojo's. If you live in a big city, you'll have a lot more to choose from than those who live in smaller areas or rural towns. Those who live in smaller towns or rural areas may be very limited on the choices available for themselves and their children.
Rural and smaller towns are limited in choice, although what they offer is normally among the best styles of martial arts. The instructors are black belts and above, with the highest ranked students helping them instruct classes. If the classes are small in attendance, the instructors and student teachers can spend a lot of hands on time with the kids to help them improve in their weakest areas.
When you decide to enroll your child in martial arts, you should always check out the dojo or classes first. You don't want your child to be in a class that isn't goal focused, nor do you want them to have a teacher who doesn't know what he is teaching. The environment is also important, as you want to be sure that the dojo and equipment are clean, and that everything is up to the latest and greatest standards.
Even though a martial art may be beneficial to your child, it won't do them any good unless the facilities and the instructors are good. You want to make sure you get the best available to you, which is why it always pays to look around. If you look at all of your available choices, you'll normally be able to find the best for both you and your child.
When it comes to children and their future, martial arts is a great way for them to start. Martial arts can help them improve in many different areas, not just self defense.

Commissioners court rejects Ogg request for more staff to handle botched drug raid
Jasper Scherer June 25, 2019 Updated: June 25, 2019 8:43 p.m.
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg asked Commissioners Court to fund 10 new employees to investigate the botched Houston Police Department raid that left two people dead.
Harris County Commissioners Court on Tuesday rejected District Attorney Kim Ogg's request for more staff to handle fallout from the Houston Police Department's botched Pecan Park drug raid, the second time this year commissioners have turned down Ogg's push for more prosecutors.
The court voted 3-2 along party lines after a feisty debate involving the court's reform-minded Democratic majority, officials from Ogg's office and the outnumbered conservative commissioners. In the end, Commissioners Rodney Ellis and Adrian Garcia joined County Judge Lina Hidalgo in turning down the request.
Added to the court's agenda late Friday, Ogg's request would have granted the district attorney's office 10 new positions — seven felony chief prosecutors and three investigators — to handle what officials in Ogg's office characterized as an overwhelming caseload aggravated by the Jan. 28 Harding Street raid.
The court's decision came a day after HPD agreed to give prosecutors thousands of pages of records relating to their use of confidential narcotics informants, avoiding a legal showdown that loomed after prosecutors from Ogg's office threatened to issue grand jury subpoenas to get the records.

Instead of granting Ogg more staff, Hidalgo, Ellis and Garcia voiced support for an external review by an independent third party. They also cited a Chronicle report that raised questions about caseloads and Ogg's push for more than 100 new lawyers earlier this year, which the court also rejected.
Details of the case still are playing out nearly five months after police burst through the front door at 7815 Harding Street, kicking off a shootout that ended in the deaths of homeowners Dennis Tuttle and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas. The FBI is conducting a civil rights investigation and Ogg has launched a review of more than 2,000 cases previously handled by two key narcotics officers.
Police initially said they raided the Pecan Park home in search of heroin dealers, but investigators soon raised questions about whether the alleged informant whose drug buy justified the raid ever existed. And the raid itself only turned up a small amount of cocaine and marijuana — but none of the heroin police expected to find.
In the weeks after the shooting, the narcotics officer at the center of the raid, Gerald Goines, retired under investigation, as did his partner Steven Bryant.
In a statement, Ogg said her office "remains dedicated to fully investigating the Harding Street shootings" and said the shooting victims' family members "and our entire community deserve to know the truth sooner, not later. Unnecessary delay creates hardship for everyone associated with this tragedy. If police misconduct led to the wrongful convictions of anyone, then every extra day served in the penitentiary waiting for justice increases the potential financial liability for Harris County taxpayers."
Ellis, a longtime criminal justice advocate, told officials from the district attorney's office that he did not feel comfortable receiving Ogg's request late Friday, and urged King to meet first with an independent prosecutor before having commissioners vote on additional staff.
Hidalgo suggested that Ogg's request was a reaction to coverage of the botched raid, telling King that Commissioners Court members "don't write budgets based on headlines."
Precinct 3 Commissioner Steve Radack criticized Hidalgo's response to Ogg's request and said she would have accepted a request instead to double the public defender's office.
"The fact of the matter is, you're weak when it comes to crime," Radack, a former county constable said to Hidalgo. "You're weak when it comes to law and order." Hidalgo ignored Radack's jabs.
At one point, Garcia asked King to withdraw the item from the court's agenda, citing a planned meeting with Ogg on Wednesday at which the commissioner said he hoped to find "common ground" on the issue.
King declined. She said prosecutors already are "taxed to the limit" and "taking work home on weekends," and contended that the state constitution requires the office to prosecute wrongdoing, arguing the county legally could not hand off the case to an independent third party.
Natasha Sinclair, chief of the district attorney's civil rights division, argued that without more help, the office would have trouble adequately prosecuting other cases, such as the one involving Danny Ray Thomas, an unarmed man who was shot and killed last year by a Harris County Sheriff's deputy.
"The Harding Street investigation is massive and complex," Sinclair said. "Currently, we lack the resources to do the work."
Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle argued that approving more prosecutors would help get people out of jail faster by allowing the office to handle more cases at once. Cagle proposed to spend $5 million on new prosecutors to handle "serious felony cases," but the court voted down his motion.
In other action, the court
Unanimously authorized the county attorney to file a federal lawsuit against Valero Energy Corp. over what county officials described as five years of violations of environmental law.
Voted 3-2 along party lines to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of groups explicitly protected from discrimination in county hiring and employment.
Passed a resolution supporting the restoration and preservation of the Battleground Texas and opposing any attempt to permanently change its current location from the San Jacinto Battleground State Park.
Transferred operations and maintenance responsibilities for the Washburn Tunnel and the Lynchburg Ferry to the Harris County Toll Road Authority. County officials said the facilities will not be tolled, but will be better maintained by HCTRA.

Today was one of the most productive days at DOG Aviation in quite some time … got in a few hours of building in the morning and again in the afternoon while the drywall mud I placed on a kitchen wall dried. (Got to love slow drying mud … Gee Honey, can't do anything more until that mud dries) .
Finished off installing the four nutplates on the forward spar which I had forgotten to countersink the nutplate rivet holes. Countersinking was a snap since the countersink cage was still set for #40 holes. After countersinking, the nutplates which will be used to attach the upper and lower control horns were riveted in place.
The control horns nutplate rivets turned out looking great!
After the remaining nutplates were riveted onto the front spar it was time to move on to the hinge bracket assembly. There were two nutplates that needed to be installed on both the hinges.
addition to a regular Cleco to help keep the nutplate flush to the bracket.
Once the hinge brackets were completed, work began riveting the two counterbalance brackets on the front and rear spars. The parts were pre-drilled a few days back and were already prepared and good to go.
Riveting the counterbalance bracket to the front spar.
The front and rear spar's completed counterbalance brackets.
The next order of business for the day was another lesson in fluting. In preparation for this moment I purchased a different type of fluting pliers from Bob Avery while at the Oshkosh AirVenture air show … glad I did because I needed them. The ribs for the stabilator have very deep scallops and I discovered my original pair of fluting pliers placed gouges in the ribs because there was not enough metal for the tool to work properly. The Avery tool has a more rounded end on it and was better suited for the task.
of curve most all of the ribs had prior to fluting.
(dead center between the rivet holes) but up a little on either side of the low point.
smart and fluting higher on up on the curve where there is more metal to work with.
Fluting is an exercise in patience to be sure, because no two ribs act exactly the same. That said however, it is possible to get predictable results if starting an inch or two from one end and place downward pressure to hold the rib down to a flat surface just behind the area being fluted then use the fluting pliers a little at a time until the end of the rib begins to slightly rise from the flat surface with just a slight amount of pressure on the fluting pliers. Then move back 1 ½ inch or so and repeat the process until one side of the rib is fluted. Repeat the process on the other side of the rib. Now the rib should only require a little tweaking to get totally flat. I watched a YouTube video last year made by Allan Gilmore about this method ... here is the link to that video.
Finished pile of ribs … fluted and ready to install. Not bad for an amateur.

Upon learning how to swim, the drawbacks of chlorine become as clear as chemically treated clean pool water: It hurts your eyes, leaves your skin feeling dry and chalky, and—oh, yeah—kind of reeks. (Even though it might actually help your gut.) But smack in the middle of a summertime heat wave, the idea of back-stroking through a sparkling blue pool sounds nothing short of divine.
Enter saltwater pools: a healthy alternative for swimming your way through a balmy, summer day.
Here's what you should know about the benefits to soak up in saltwater pools this summer.
The main difference between a saltwater pool and a chlorine one is how the structure is set up and cleaned. While chlorine models are are consistently treated with the chemical in the form of sticks or tablets, saltwater pools self-produce chlorine at a more tempered pace, according to Fixr.
And unsurprisingly, saltwater pools are consistently treated with, well, salt, which sanitizes the pool through a process called electrolysis. However, it's worth noting that the average saltwater pool is only about a tenth of the salinity present in ocean water, so you won't reap the exact same skin-smoothing benefits as you would surfing some waves (but hey, a small fraction of sodium beats none at all).
Some basically consider the ocean to be a cure-all. (In high school, I even tried clearing my acne with consistent trips to the beach with some success.) But the H2O legend isn't strictly lore. "Salt is a catalyst, it detoxifies, it relaxes you and even helps skin-barrier function," explains Elizabeth Trattner, an integrative medicine doctor based Florida. In fact, swimming through saltwater both sterilizes your skin and could lessen the mediators of inflammation.
Once your fingers start getting prune-y though, you may have overstayed your welcome and dried out your skin. So just make sure that your post-pool routine involves a moisturizing cleanser and face lotion to return your skin to its state of tip-top hydration.
"The calming and detoxifying effects of saltwater pools can support the immune, nervous, and lymphatic systems," says Trattner, adding that in Chinese medicine, salt is consider to be grounding. While scientists still have yet to conducted ample research on the effects of salt on human subjects, one 2014 study in the journal Appetite found that women with sodium-rich diets tended to be less depressed than other women. So dog-paddling through the stuff may offer the same benefits.
Plus, since salt is antimicrobial, it could also block any unwanted germs from ruining your summer fun (bye, summer cold). This is due to a chemical process called osmosis, which causes liquids to leave your cells—including bacterial ones, according to Science Focus.
Hey, there's a reason people schlep across the globe to visit the Dead Sea for a soak, after all.

No fire at Will first, then we can shoot random.
I always feel bad for poor ol' Will. That guy must look like Swiss cheese at this point.
@Jeff: It seems that the vintage "Fire at Will" joke still gets a laugh. But I feel sorry for this "Random" guy, because who knows what they are going to fire at him.
I'm blessed with the memory of a four year old, thus all things are perpetually amusing to me. It is less amusing to people who actually know me, as I am prone to repeating the same eight stories over and over, forgetting I have already told them.
Everyone says that I have the mental attention of a 4 year old, but oddly enough they only say it when I try to act older than I am.
Oooo, I've just noticed that it's my birthday in 30 days 😀 .
You sure you are not my twin Jeff? Isia just does the "oh okay" and "that right" I swear she doesn't even know what I'm saying half the time. It's really bad when she has head phones on and still doing it, she even can get them in the right place too.
Shooting things at random *is* the plan!
Wait, which one is Will?

Diamondbacks' A.J. Pollock, Steven Souza still limited in rehab work
Nick Piecoro
SAN FRANCISCO – After another round of tests, Diamondbacks outfielders A.J. Pollock and Steven Souza Jr. will remain limited in their activities as they work their way back from injury, manager Torey Lovullo said.
Pollock, who is out with a fractured thumb, underwent a CT scan on Monday that showed healing that has taken place over the past week, Lovullo said. But Pollock wasn't cleared to pick up a bat and will likely undergo a similar test in another week.
Pollock was injured diving for a ball on May 14, at which point the club put a timetable for a return at four-to-eight weeks. It seems the most optimistic return date at this point is around six or seven weeks.
As for Souza, the team continues to be extra cautious with his recovery from a right pectoral strain, which makes sense given that he's on the DL for the second time this season with the same injury.
Souza had an MRI on Monday, the results of which Lovullo described as "favorable," but he said Souza would not yet begin to throw.
"I think we're a little ways away from him picking up a baseball or initiating anything with his right arm at this point," Lovullo said, adding, "We don't want to go backwards with him."
Souza first suffered the injury diving for a ball in spring training and, after returning May 3, tweaked it again in mid-May.
Getting closer
Left-hander Robbie Ray, working his way back from a right oblique strain, threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Monday and will throw off the mound again on Wednesday, Lovullo said.
After that, Ray is likely to face hitters in a live batting practice/simulated game environment, perhaps as soon as this weekend, Lovullo said. If all goes well, that likely would be followed by an appearance on a rehab assignment.
"We're very encouraged by what he did today," Lovullo said. "He said he stood on his stuff pretty close to 100 percent and was feeling good."
Roster move
The Diamondbacks selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Kristopher Negron from Triple-A Reno and optioned outfielder Socrates Brito, a move that Lovullo said was mostly about adding another right-handed hitter to the roster.
"We have some lefties that were going to be thrown at us today, tomorrow and Sunday in Colorado," Lovullo said, "and we just felt like the need for a right-handed hitting outfielder would pop up for us.
"I'm going to try to do my absolute best going into Colorado to give some guys downtime, just cycle through like I did last year because of that altitude issue, so we come out of Colorado feeling good. That type of versatile player gave me a lot of flexibility."
Negron was hitting just .259 with a modest .738 OPS (on-base-plus-slugging) in Reno, but he was 21 for 48 (.438) with four doubles and two triples in his past 14 games.
Brito, who had been in the majors since May 22, went just 2 for 17 in limited action.
Lovullo said the Diamondbacks' just-completed homestand, on which they averaged seven runs per game against the Cincinnati Reds and Miami Marlins, served to accentuate his team's struggles over the previous three weeks.
"What it made me think about was how unbelievable that streak was that we went through because we are a very potent offensive team," he said. "Something wasn't working for us during that time."
But he believes the experience of having gone through such an ugly stretch – the Diamondbacks hit .174 as a team and averaged two runs in 17 games prior to that – will only help in the long run.
"It's that experience," Lovullo said. "When you feel yourself kind of slipping back into that mind-set, it's human nature to say, look, I've already been down that road, I've already experienced that."
Short hop
Former Diamondbacks lefty Anthony Banda, who was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in the Souza deal, will need Tommy John surgery, according to reports. Banda had a 3.68 ERA in 14 2/3 innings at the big league level prior to the injury.

Not to be confused with New Catholic Encyclopedia.
Cover page of 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 1
The Catholic Encyclopedia: An International Work of Reference on the Constitution, Doctrine, Discipline, and History of the Catholic Church,[1] also referred to as the Old Catholic Encyclopedia and the Original Catholic Encyclopedia,[2] is an English-language encyclopedia published in the United States and designed to serve the Roman Catholic Church. The first volume appeared in March 1907 and the last three volumes appeared in 1912, followed by a master index volume in 1914 and later supplementary volumes. It was designed "to give its readers full and authoritative information on the entire cycle of Catholic interests, action and doctrine".[3][4]
The Catholic Encyclopedia was published by the Robert Appleton Company (RAC), a publishing company incorporated at New York in February 1905 for the express purpose of publishing the encyclopedia. The five members of the encyclopedia's Editorial Board also served as the directors of the company. In 1912 the company's name was changed to The Encyclopedia Press. Publication of the encyclopedia's volumes was the sole business conducted by the company during the project's lifetime.[5]
2.1 Authors and sources
3 Online versions
Purpose[edit]
The encyclopedia was designed to serve the Roman Catholic Church, concentrating on information related to the Church and explaining matters from the Catholic point of view. It records the accomplishments of Catholics and others in nearly all intellectual and professional pursuits, including artists, educators, poets and scientists. While more limited in focus than other general encyclopedias, it was far broader in scope than previous efforts at comprehensive Catholic encyclopedias, which covered only internal Church affairs.
It offers in-depth portrayals of historical and philosophical ideas, persons and events, from a Catholic perspective, including issues that divide Catholicism from Protestantism and other faith communities. Since the encyclopedia was first published starting in 1907 and has never been updated (versus the New Catholic Encyclopedia), many of its entries may be out of date either with respect to the wider culture or to the Catholic ecclesiastical world. In particular, it predates the creation of the Vatican City State (1929) and the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), which introduced many significant changes in Catholic practice: For example, the online version of the entries on Judaism and Islam at newadvent.org states in an editorial note: "To complement this article, which was taken from the 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia, New Advent recommends a prayerful reading of 'Nostra Aetate' from the Second Vatican Council."[6]
The writing of the encyclopedia began on January 11, 1905, under the supervision of five editors:
Charles G. Herbermann, Professor of Latin and librarian of the College of the City of New York
Edward A. Pace, Professor of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
Condé B. Pallen, editor
The Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, Professor of Church History at The Catholic University
The Rev. John J. Wynne, S.J., editor of Messenger of the Sacred Heart
The first edition was initially printed by Robert Appleton Company. The volumes came out sequentially, the first two in 1907 and the last three in 1912:[7]

The editors had their first editorial meeting at the office of The Messenger, on West 16th Street, New York City. The text received a nihil obstat from an official censor, Remy Lafort, on November 1, 1908, and an imprimatur from John Murphy Farley, Archbishop of New York. This review process was presumably accelerated by the reuse of older authorized publications. In addition to frequent informal conferences and constant communication by letters, the editors subsequently held 134 formal meetings to consider the plan, scope and progress of the work, culminating in publication on April 19, 1913. A first supplement was published in 1922; a second supplement in nine loose-leaf sections was published by The Gilmary Society between 1950 and 1958.
In 1912, a special completely illustrated, commemorative volume was awarded to those patrons who contributed to the start of the enterprise by buying multiple encyclopedia sets early on.[8]
There was controversy over the presence of the Catholic Encyclopedia in public libraries in the United States with nativist protests that this violated the separation of church and state, including a successful appeal in Belleville, New Jersey.[9]
The encyclopedia was later updated under the auspices of The Catholic University of America and a 17-volume New Catholic Encyclopedia was first published in 1967, and then in 2002.
Authors and sources[edit]
The Catholic Encyclopedia and its makers state that:
The work is entirely new, and not merely a translation or a compilation from other encyclopedic sources. The editors have insisted that the articles should contain the latest and most accurate information to be obtained from the standard works on each subject.
However, "from standard works" allows that some of the articles from European contributors such as Pierre Batiffol (French) and Johann Peter Kirsch (German) had previously been published in whole or in part in Europe and were translated and edited for the Encyclopedia.[10] Those who wrote new articles in English include Anthony Maas and Herbert Thurston.
Online versions[edit]
Under copyright law of the United States, all works published in the United States before 1923 are in the public domain. In 1993, Kevin Knight, then a 26-year-old resident of Denver, Colorado, decided, during the visit of Pope John Paul II to that city for World Youth Day, to launch a project to publish the 1913 edition of the encyclopedia on the Internet. Knight founded the Web site New Advent to host the undertaking. Volunteers from the United States, Canada, France, and Brazil helped in the transcription of the original material. The site went online in 1995, and transcription work ended in 1997.[Volumes 1]
In 2007, Catholic Answers published a watermarked version derived from page scans. This version has since been replaced with a transcription of the Encyclopedia similar to that found at the New Advent site.[Volumes 2] The Catholic Answers transcription, however, is an exact transcription of the original text, whereas the New Advent version at times modernizes certain words (e.g., using the names of Old Testament books found in modern Bibles, such as "1 & 2 Chronicles" and "Obadiah", in place of the Vulgate/Douay–Rheims titles, such as "1 & 2 Paralipomenon" and "Abdias") and Biblical citation formatting (i.e., the Catholic Answers version retains the original's usage of Roman numerals for chapter numbers [e.g., Genesis I,1], while the New Advent version uses Arabic numerals throughout [e.g., Genesis 1:1]).
Other scanned copies of the 1913 Encyclopedia are available on Google Books, at the Internet Archive, and at Wikimedia Commons. Wikisource also hosts a transcription project backed by the scans hosted at Commons.[Volumes 3]
The 1922 supplement to the Encyclopedia is also in the public domain and is available online. The New Catholic Encyclopedia also is available online at some libraries.

'Serial's Adnan Syed Scores Appeals Victory
May 18, 2015 DAN MCCUE
(CN) – A Maryland appeals court dealt Adnan Syed, the subject of the hit podcast "Serial," a significant victory Monday afternoon ruling the convicted murderer's case should be remanded to the Baltimore City Circuit Court for further proceedings.
Syed, who was convicted of murdering his former girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999, is seeking a new trial, and today's ruling revolves around his argument that his lawyer, Christina Gutierrez, failed to present the testimony of Asia McClain, who has claimed for years that she saw the then-teen in a school library at the same time that he is alleged to have committed the murder.
Syed was 19 when his high school classmate and former girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, was strangled to death in January 1999. After two trials — the first ending in a mistrial — he was convicted and is currently serving a life sentence in a Maryland state prison.
The Maryland Court of Special Appeals remanded the case so that the circuit court can consider a new affidavit submitted by McClain.
McClain was a classmate of the victim and the man convicted of her murder. She claims Syed was with her in Woodlawn Public Library at the time the murder is believed to have occurred. Prosecutors said during the trial that McClain recanted that story, but she recently said that wasn't the case and has said she will testify, if needed, during Syed's appeal.
Syed's previous attempt to receive post-conviction relief was denied by the very same Baltimore City Court that once again has his fate in its hands.
"We believe that a stay of this appeal and a limited remand to the circuit is in the interest of justice," said the ruling by Chief Judge Peter Krauser, announcing the decision to remand the case.
The appeals court's action doesn't guarantee Syed will get a new trial, but it opens a door that has to date been closed to the convicted man.
"The purpose of the stay and the remand is to provide Syed with the opportunity to file with the circuit court a request … to re-open the previously concluded post-conviction proceeding in light of Ms. McClain's January 13, 2015, affidavit, which has not heretofore been reviewed or considered by the circuit court," Krauser wrote.
"Moreover, because the affidavit was not presented to the circuit court during Syed's post-conviction proceedings, as it did not then exist, it is not a part of the record and, therefore, this Court may not properly consider it in addressing the merits of this appeal," he continued. "This remand, among other things, will afford the parties the opportunity to supplement the record with relevant documents and even testimony pertinent to the issues raised by this appeal."
If the circuit court does grant his request and begins hearing new evidence, that evidence would ultimately go back to the Court of Special Appeals for review.
As recounted in "Serial," Syed was convicted without any eyewitnesses or physical evidence tying him to the murder. The prosecution's case rested primarily on the testimony of another classmate, Jay Wilds, who claimed he helped Syed dispose of Lee's body, which was found in a shallow grave in a Baltimore park a month after her murder.

A report from RBI states that there is increase in Household Deposits held in banks.
The increase is said to be around 2 percentage points and stands at 63.5 per cent in FY 2017 which is said to be due to note bank driven spurt in saving deposits by individuals.
The Government had pulled out high denomination notes during demonetisation, in November-December last year which resulted in a huge increase in Cash Deposits with banks.
This in turn forced RBI to advice banks to part the excess funds with it and allowed interest on them.
The household deposits increased by 14.14 per cent to Rs. 69,13,900 crore as against an 11.20 per cent in the total deposits to Rs. 1,09,43,700 crore.
The annual data compiled by RBI reveals further, that the share of household deposits rose to 63.2 per cent in FY 2017 from 61.5 per cent during the previous fiscal year, resulting in increased Savings Bank deposits.

MDG 3032002-2 [72:32]
Record labels seem to be slowly getting round to Cécile Chaminade, and it is not before time. Just this month, Ian Lace has reviewed in glowing terms a new Dutton release of two of her orchestral works, including a full-scale ballet, Callirhoë (review).
I have seen her described as a composer of insubstantial salon pieces, and undoubtedly many of her works would fit into that category, some of the fillers here, for example. However, when circumstances arose where she could focus on more weighty subjects, she showed that she was up to the task, as evidenced by the aforementioned ballet, which was performed over two hundred times.
In my Piano Trio Survey, I commented on the quality of these two trios. If you have not heard either of them before, and can access some samples, I suggest that you start with the slow movement of the second, which is exceptionally beautiful. As you see from the header, they were written fairly close together, and thus have more similarities than differences in style, but the second is the better, more original work. While she has her own voice, they are undoubtedly influenced by Mendelssohn and Schumann, but with a French imprint.
The booklet cover describes the remaining works as for "violin, cello and piano" which rather got my attention as I hadn't known of any other trios of hers, but as you see above, they are all duos. Here the salon music tag is certainly apt, and they are no more than sweet trifles, enjoyed whilst heard, and forgotten fairly soon afterwards.
Trio Parnassus have been filling gaps in the trio repertoire for more than a decade, and for that, I am in their debt. However, as I have said in reviews of their releases in the past, I find their enterprise more rewarding than their performances. They strike me as rather uninvolving and somewhat heavy-handed in places. I seem to be in the minority here, though: my colleague Jim Westhead was very impressed by this current recording, and I have seen an even more glowing review elsewhere.
This is only the third release to include both trios, the previous being the Tzigane Piano Trio (ASV) and an ensemble led by Ann-Sofi Klingberg (dB Productions). Sadly, the former which has the best performances by far is no longer available, not having been reissued by Presto as yet (hint, hint), and the latter has problems in both intonation and interpretation. That leaves Trio Parnassus as the best available option if you want both trios, but only want one purchase. There are better performances of individual trios - the Rembrandt Trio (Dorian) are almost as good as the Tziganes in the first, and Trio Chausson (Mirare) are standouts in the second – but you will need to dip into your wallet twice.
Production values on this MDG release - not an SACD - are perfectly fine: the sound is good, the booklet notes illuminating. I would like to be more positive about the performances, and it does at least provide a much better single disc option for these underappreciated works.

What's a Hairy Beast?
museums, photobooks
September 22, 2015 @vossbrink
Note: This originally posted on NJWV.
Jenny Holzer. Phoenix yellow white (detail), 2006
While I was in California this summer, I visited the San José Museum of Art to see the Covert Operations exhibition. Only part of the show was on display when I went* so this post covers both what I saw in the museum and what I've gotten from the catalog.** I'm used to treating catalogs as reminders of an exhibition so it's a bit weird for me to be using one as a stand-in for portions of one. Thankfully, I saw most of the videos and video games in the show and have been using the book for the photography and painting—both of which translate much better to book form.
*It's all up now.
**Which I flipped through in the museum to determine that it was worth getting. I have since spent a lot more time looking and reading through it.
On National Security
Trevor Paglen. Untitled (Reaper Drone), 2010
While the theme of this exhibition is covert operations, most of the work is actually about National Security and the things that government does under that aegis. A lot of work, such as Jenny Holzer's redacted Freedom of Information Act request prints and Trevor Paglen's Defense Department investigations offer glimpses of what's going on when National Defense world intersects with the civilian world.
Holzer's work takes advantage of the Freedom of Information Act and the theoretical ability of any citizen to request government records. The resulting documents are anything but transparent as they arrive covered with redactions. Holzer enlarges the documents to the point where they feel like Abstract Expressionist paintings—where text, redactions, handwritten notes, etc. all feel like they're working together in a cohesive piece. Only instead of being abstract, these very clearly show, despite the redactions, many of the ugly details that go into providing what we think of as security.
Paglen's photography looks almost conventionally pretty—star trails and sunsets—except that there's one small detail which is off. Maybe it's a Reaper Drone way off to the side. Maybe that non-star streak is actually a CIA satellite. His other work—in particular Code Names—similarly explores the small ways that the Security Apparatus intrudes into our world.
Meanwhile, other things aren't really covert at all and just exist outside of the awareness of regular Americans. In particular, David Taylor's Working the Line documents the security—and the security theater—on the US-Mexico border. There's nothing especially confidential here, nor is there the sense that there's a whole bunch of other infrastructure at the border that we're not seeing. Still, the extent of physical security at the border and the way it's actually implemented is quite different than the way that we think of it.
Taryn Simon's photograph of the Alhurra studio is also something non-covert that we just aren't aware of in the US. The entire point of this network is to be seen by Arab communities so it's anything but a secret. Yet it's not allowed to be broadcast in the US despite being based and funded here.
Taken together, all these pieces describe a massive amount of infrastructure and bureaucracy that we're not aware of. Revealing only the tip of the iceberg allows us to think about how much is going on that we aren't seeing at all. The way that much of what we do see is already horrifying should also make us really think about how much worse—whether in scale or in degree—the truly hidden stuff is.
But even the non-awful images reveal an apparatus that treats our safety as something where we don't really want to know the details and assumes that we'll sign off on anything in the name of security. It's this assumption that disturbs me more since it's carte blanche for security agencies to do whatever they want in the name of security while not informing us what it is that they're doing. It also makes it very easy for those agencies to dismiss critiques and questions by referencing our ignorance of what's "really" going on.
We're assumed to not want to know, kept from knowing, and then criticized for not knowing. All in the name of our own safety and security. So I'm glad that people are calling out and highlighting what we can know. I love that many of these people are artists since it makes the glimpses much more accessible and the more of us who know, even a little bit, the better.
On Weaponizing Art and Games
Harun Farocki. Serious Games I: Watson is Down, 2009
Another extremely interesting concept in this exhibition is how it demonstrates the way art, photography, and video games—things which often get criticized as being inherently non-useful—can actually be effectively weaponized or used as diplomacy.
Photography is the most obvious example due to its interaction with surveillance, intrusiveness, and privacy issues being one of its defining characteristics since day one. That much of photography's acceptance by the public has been a steady erosion of sensibilities regarding these issues is already scary. But even today, much of the concern is about photographs by other individuals rather than the government—we accept security cameras everywhere but freak out about a stranger with a cell phone. Yet it's the security cameras which are more intrusive since they feed directly in to monitoring by the state. Which is why it's important to keep in mind where security cameras get installed, who they're actually monitoring, and whose interests they're protecting.
The use of modern art as cultural diplomacy is less obvious but is explicitly mentioned by Taryn Simon's photograph of the CIA art gallery. The connection between art and culture and the idea that "good" art demonstrates a superior culture is shocking to see laid out—even though it's used by many people now to malign* art which has not been accepted as "good" in the West. It also forces us to really question our understandings of our own taste and how we learned what we like. I certainly didn't even consider that it could reflect Cold War indoctrination about what is "American" (or at least non-communist) even though thinking about it now makes complete sense.
*Or the similarly-related phenomenon of only praising "foreign" art that feels western and familiar.
Video games get a lot of play here as well. Harun Farocki shows how, instead of being entertainment, they're now used for military training—which is pretty cool in that it allows for a safer and more varied training experience. At the same time, it's disturbing how easy it is to go from a medium of pure entertainment to something that's life and death and literally training people how to kill other people. There's no noticeable difference in the form, just the use case. That many of these training videos look less realistic than what's currently on the market is the kind of thing that makes it very easy to see the defenses of video games as being "just a game" as being somewhat hollow.*
*I'm not anti video games, but I'm increasingly critical of everything about them as mass entertainment.
On the positive side, the way video games are also used as therapy for soldiers recovering from the stress of battle is both interesting and promising. They're not fun here either, but seeing them used in a much more life-giving situation is nice to see. Still, it's interesting to note the differences in quality and how there is more effort spent on training than on rehabilitation—but that's a comment on the military's priorities and not the medium itself.
I've long been used to technology's give-and-take with the military. One of the best ways to really refine a technology is to push it to its extremes and the military is great at this. Much of what we take for granted today either started as a military project or got refined there. Art and culture are no different except that many people don't understand how they're useful.
Amazingly, the military does. And the way that the military uses art and culture should show us how dismissing them as a waste of time is lazy and incorrect. Art matters. It's how we know and demonstrate who we are. It's how we convert other people to our way of seeing the world. Entertainment matters. It's how we interact with the world and the easiest way to introduce ourselves to new worlds. It's a shame that for the military, new worlds have to be approached with a gun in hand, but that, again, is more about the military's priorities rather than the medium.
Rethinking Evidence
David Taylor. Seismic Sensor, TX, 2007
One last thing about this exhibition is that it has me rethinking Mike Mandel and Larry Sultan's Evidence. Many of the photos in Covert Operations are similarly bizarre in the way they show objects and places that exist outside of our understanding—except where in Evidence I found myself making up my own narratives and finding the humor in things, the Covert Operations photos biased me toward looking at the dark side. I have an inkling what they're about but I'm still scratching the surface and know that there's a lot more sinister stuff lurking underneath.
The result is that I can't help but see Evidence now as a more innocent project* and which has made certain tradeoffs in opting for a fictional sequence rather than revealing or critiquing something real.
*Similar to how looking at Robert Adams's later work has me rethinking the New Topographics.
This isn't to say that I don't like humorous work. It's just that while I understand and enjoy the impulse to poke fun at banal government photographs, I've also come to realize that opting for humor—especially the "WTF this is so bizarre" humor of Evidence—is a choice that tends to rule out critiquing what government is actually doing. And so the next time I view Evidence, I'll keep in mind how the recontextualization gives a free pass to the ways that the baby boomers were pulling up the ladder on the next generation.

No, you're not alone at all. Probably several hundred people in the same queue.
Would be interesting to see just how many GT3 cars would be sold in the UK if there was no restriction on availability.
And think of the money I'm saving!
another raid of the parts bin by the marketing chumps.
a gt3 should be full fat with all the wings, lunmps, bumps, oddities and not so comfy bits to it please. its a ***** race car for the road....not a shopping sofa. that is what normal porkers are for now right with PDK?
the gt3 has been softened up too much already for my liking and with this touring shizzle they are close to pushing it over the edge. doing the PDK offering in the 991.1 version was sacrilege alone. now this!
a Touring is a BMW estate in my books.
I spotted one of these in the Langdale valley the other week parked outside a pub!
I wondered what it was with centre lock wheels and no spoiler.
100% sure It was badged GT3 Touring, and was white.
Am I dreaming? The dates don't match up.
Chris Harris picked his up from Reading OPC last week, black with gold wheels.
Two in OPC Guildford today. Metallic black one and a white one under a cover.
Still think GT cars should have wings though. The black one looked great as a dark 'R' to me.

Published Nov. 13, 2018 at 1:45 p.m.
In November 1961, while in New York City, but before the March 1962 release of his debut LP, Bob Dylan wrote a lyric called "On, Wisconsin" that never made it to the light of day and when our own Trapper Schoepp heard about it, he decided to take a shot at finishing it.
"I just connected with it immediately," Schoepp has said. "It's so obvious. I knew immediately that I had to finish the song. I just thought it's got to be done."
Dylan's management – and, presumably, Bob himself – signed off on the long-distance "collaboration" and now the song is on Schoepp's upcoming album, "Primetime Illusion," recorded in Milwaukee and produced by Pat Sansone (Wilco, Robyn Hitchcock), due for release on Jan. 25.
"Publishing a song with Bob Dylan – Bob Dylan! – put wind in my sails," Schoepp has said, and that led to him writing dozens of new songs, which, in turn, led to "Primetime Illusion."
"I think a lot about the folk process," Schoepp has said about the Dylan track, "how things are passed down to the next generation and are reinvented and evolve. That's really important to me, to keep the spirit of what someone might consider old new.
"Dylan, in his MusiCares speech a few years ago, made the point that his role in music is simply extending the line. That's my whole M.O. as well. I want to push this music forward like my life depends on it. It's all I have."

We proposed an internal nanostructure with a high reflective index planarization layer to solve the optical loss due to the reflective index mismatch between ITO and glass substrate. In our experiments, we found the electrical property of OLED device was significantly influenced by the internal nanostructures without planarization layer. Moreover, the internal extraction structure (IES) is not necessarily beneficial for light extraction. Therefore, we proposed a new substrate combine both internal and external extraction structure (EES) to extract trapping light. We successfully developed a high refractive index (N~1.7) planarization material with flat surface (RMS roughness < 2 nm), and improved about 70% device efficiency compared to traditional glass substrate.
