No, the successful trader is not me. I've gotten lucky a few times and I'm still refining and trying out strategies; on the other hand, I'm part of communities of people who trade on a daily basis to grow their portfolios, and while some of the results can be attributed to luck, a majority of it is based on fundamentals, good habits, and experience.
So be aware of the premium or discount that is on longer dated contracts, this can allow you some arbitrage opportunities if you are patient and have the coins to apply to it. In general, we recommend that you trade any contract that has good liquidity and high volume. This is the most important characteristic of ANY product for a trader. If you can't get in and out reliably, and have a price that reasonably follows the spot market behavior, then it's not worth trading.
Transaction fees for cryptocurrency depend mainly on the supply of network capacity at the time, versus the demand from the currency holder for a faster transaction. The currency holder can choose a specific transaction fee, while network entities process transactions in order of highest offered fee to lowest. Cryptocurrency exchanges can simplify the process for currency holders by offering priority alternatives and thereby determine which fee will likely cause the transaction to be processed in the requested time.
As noted above under "Distributions", a Fund may declare a distribution from net realized capital gains to be payable in additional Fund shares or cash. Even if the Fund does not declare a distribution to be payable in Fund shares, brokers may make available to their customers who own shares the DTC book-entry dividend reinvestment service. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and capital gains will automatically be reinvested in additional whole shares of the same Fund. Without this service, investors would have to take their distributions in cash. To determine whether the dividend reinvestment service is available and whether there is a commission or other charge for using this service, please consult your broker.
It is not an endorsement of the firms listed, and no significance should be attached to a firm's inclusion or omission. CFE has not investigated the background or disciplinary history of any of the firms listed or of any individual broker in connection with providing this list. The selection of an FCM, broker, or clearing firm involves matters of personal preference. In choosing a firm, an investor should ask questions and take into account such factors as the investor individually regards as important.
Each Fund has adopted certain investment restrictions as fundamental policies that cannot be changed without a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. The phrase "majority of outstanding voting securities" is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at a duly-called meeting of shareholders, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. (All policies of a Fund not specifically identified in this Statement of Additional Information or its Prospectus as fundamental may be changed without a vote of the shareholders of the Fund.) For purposes of the following limitations, all percentage limitations apply immediately after a purchase or initial investment.
In addition, the Advisor, its affiliates and principals may trade for their own accounts. Consequently, non-customer and proprietary trades may be executed and cleared through any prime broker or other broker utilized by clients. It is possible that officers or employees of the Advisor may buy or sell securities or other instruments that the Advisor has recommended to, or purchased for, its clients and may engage in transactions for their own accounts in a manner that is inconsistent with the Advisor's recommendations to a client. Personal securities transactions by employees may raise potential conflicts of interest when such persons trade in a security that is owned by, or considered for purchase or sale for, a client. The Advisor has adopted policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent such conflicts of interest and, when they do arise, to ensure that it effects transactions for clients in a manner that is consistent with its fiduciary duty to its clients and in accordance with applicable law.

No Independent Trustee (or an immediate family member thereof) had any direct or indirect interest, the value of which exceeded $120,000, in the Advisor, the principal underwriter of the Trust, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor or the principal underwriter of the Trust (not including registered investment companies) during the two most recently completed calendar years.
In general, excess inclusion income allocated to shareholders (i) cannot be offset by net operating losses (subject to a limited exception for certain thrift institutions), (ii) will constitute unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") to entities (including a qualified pension plan, an individual retirement account, a 401(k) plan, a Keogh plan or other tax-exempt entity) subject to tax on UBTI, thereby potentially requiring such an entity that is allocated excess inclusion income, and otherwise might not be required to file a tax return, to file a return and pay tax on such income, and (iii) in the case of a foreign shareholder (defined below), will not qualify for any reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax. A shareholder will be subject to income tax on such inclusions without reference to any exemption therefrom otherwise available under the Code.
•	Active Management Risk — The performance of actively managed funds reflects, in part, the ability of ProShare Advisors to select investments and make investment decisions that are suited to achieving the Fund's investment objective. ProShare Advisors' judgments about the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by ProShare Advisors fail to produce the intended results, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective and could underperform other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies. The Fund does not seek to provide investment performance that would be opposite of a 30% investment in bitcoin futures contracts and a 70% investment in U.S. government securities.
Distributions by the Fund to foreign shareholders other than Capital Gain Dividends, short-term capital gain dividends and interest-related dividends (e.g., dividends attributable to foreign-source dividend and interest income or to short-term capital gains or U.S. source interest income to which the exception from withholding described above does not apply) are generally subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate).
Maybe one day our fiat money system will go under and be completely replaced by cryptocurrencies. We're living in a digitalized world and the possibility of Bitcoin or any other major cryptocurrencies to replace the way we pay for the goods and services is not beyond the realms of possibility. However, as long as there are still profits to be made from Forex currency trading we encourage you to read our receipt for Forex trading success: How to Make Money Trading – 2 Keys to Success.
•	Lack of regulation. Digital commodities and their associated platforms are largely unregulated, and the regulatory environment is rapidly evolving. As a result, blockchain companies may be exposed to adverse regulatory action, fraudulent activity or even failure. Blockchain companies may face political or legal challenges from competitors, industry groups or local and national governments. New regulations may have a negative impact on blockchain technology and blockchain technology companies.
Those who believe in Cryptocurrency claim it to be the next big thing in the history of mankind. The mere fact that Cryptocurrency is beyond the control of any government body gets it a lot of eyeballs. Imagine a universal currency beyond the control of liquidity, inflation and government subsidy. This would mean that the commercial activity of economies working on Cryptocurrency shall be privatized absolutely.
•	Equity and Market Risk — The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Further, stocks may underperform other equity investments. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease.
•	The bitcoin exchanges on which bitcoin trades are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and, therefore, may be more exposed to fraud and security breaches than established, regulated exchanges for other products. Over the past several years, a number of Bitcoin Exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure, security breaches or governmental regulations. The nature of the assets held at Bitcoin Exchanges make them appealing targets for hackers and a number of Bitcoin Exchanges have been victims of cybercrimes. No Bitcoin Exchange is immune from these risks. Fraudulent activity can increase volatility and have an adverse effect on the price of bitcoin, the general acceptance of bitcoin as an investment or means of currency and could have a negative impact on the bitcoin futures contracts in which the Fund invests and the value of the Fund.

Hey Will. Thanks for the helpful guide! I've just gotten into crypto and found this info extremely useful. Just a question regarding how you keep your alt coins safe. As far as I can tell, you can't keep many of these alt coins on a Trezor hard wallet, so do you just use something like My Ether Wallet instead? Cheers mate! Here's to a cracking 2018!!
JUNK BONDS. "Junk Bonds" generally offer a higher current yield than that available for higher-grade issues. However, lower-rated securities involve higher risks, in that they are especially subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions and in the industries in which the issuers are engaged, to changes in the financial condition of the issuers and to price fluctuations in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress that could adversely affect their ability to make payments of interest and principal and increase the possibility of default. In addition, the market for lower-rated debt securities has expanded rapidly in recent years, and its growth paralleled a long economic expansion. At times in recent years, the prices of many lower-rated debt securities declined substantially, reflecting an expectation that many issuers of such securities might experience financial difficulties. As a result, the yields on lower-rated debt securities rose dramatically, but the higher yields did not reflect the value of the income stream that holders of such securities expected. Rather, the risk that holders of such securities could lose a substantial portion of their value as a result of the issuers' financial restructuring or default. There can be no assurance that such declines will not recur. The market for lower-rated debt issues generally is thinner and less active than that for higher quality securities, which may limit each Fund's ability to sell such securities at fair value in response to changes in the economy or financial markets. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may also decrease the values and liquidity of lower-rated securities, especially in a thinly traded market. Changes by recognized rating services in their rating of a fixed income security may affect the value of these investments. Each Fund will not necessarily dispose of a security when its rating is reduced below the rating it had at the time of purchase. However, the Advisor will monitor the investment to determine whether continued investment in the security will assist in meeting each Fund's investment objective.
Matthew Roszak, one of block.one's early investors, said EOS holders shouldn't worry too much about the warnings the company has given about the tokens. "I don't think it's fair reading into that language too tightly," he said. Given the "regulatory environment is as clear as mud," he said block.one needed to write something to provide the broadest protection possible.
Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by Authorized Participants creating and redeeming directly with the Fund. To the extent that exchange specialists, market makers, Authorized Participants, or other participants are unavailable or unable to trade the Fund's shares and/or create or redeem Creation Units, trading spreads and the resulting premium or discount on the Fund's shares may widen and the Fund's shares may possibly be subject to trading halts and/or delisting.
While it is likely that regulatory laws surrounding ICOs will only be settled in court (perhaps even the Supreme Court), if ICO tokens are legally classified as securities, any exchange that wants to list those tokens needs to either register as a national securities exchange or operate under an exemption and set itself up as an alternative trading system (ATS).
•	Inverse Correlation Risk — Since a portion of the Fund's assets are invested in short positions in bitcoin futures contracts, the Fund will likely decline in value when the price of bitcoin futures contracts goes up (unless such losses are offset by gains in the value of the Fund's positions in other investments), a result that is the opposite from the results of taking long positions in bitcoin futures contracts.
The Global Listed Private Equity ETF and the Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF each pay ProShare Advisors a fee at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets of 0.50%. The Inflation Expectations ETF pays ProShare Advisors a fee at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets of 0.55%. The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF pays ProShare Advisors a fee at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets of 0.65%. ProShare Advisors manages the investment and the reinvestment of the assets of each of the Funds in accordance with the investment objectives, policies, and limitations of the Fund, subject to the general supervision and control of the Trustees and the Officers of the Trust. ProShare Advisors bears all costs associated with providing these advisory services. Except for the Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF, ProShare Advisors has contractually agreed to waive investment advisory and management services fees and to reimburse other expenses (exclusive of transaction costs,
UPDATE: I do not recommend paying to enter a Cryptocurrency mastermind group – I've tried a few and found the ROI to be disappointing. I am now focussing on growing my portfolio passively utilising a cryptocurrency trading bot, the renowned Notorious Bot. Having a bot that trades for me, without emotion, using an advanced algorithm, allows me to grow my portfolio in the background without it cutting into my time or stressing me out. You can familiarise yourself with the basics of cryptocurrency trading bots here.
Important agents interacting with those prices are operating in one of three roles: individual speculator, market maker, or arbitrageur. A key role is market maker—a firm that has agreed to simultaneously act as both a buyer and seller for a specific security. When companies sign up for this role they agree to keep the bid/ask prices relatively close to each other—for example even if they aren't keen on selling Bitcoins at the moment they can't just set the ask price to an outrageous level. The agreed-upon maximum bid/ask ranges might be tied to market conditions (e.g., wider when deemed a "fast market") and might allow time-outs but in general, the market maker agrees to act as a buffer between supply and demand.
However, there could be a transition stage in which volatility could actually become worse. Large financial trading firms could enter the market to an extent that has not been seen yet, and because bitcoin is so difficult to value (as Warren Buffet put it: "You can't value bitcoin because it's not a value-producing asset."), a lot of different forces will act on its price. Shorts will become more popular, and disagreements on pricing could manifest in the cryptocurrency markets in the form of extreme price jumps, more so than is already commonplace.
DTC has advised the Trust as follows: it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the 1934 Act. DTC was created to hold securities of its participants ("DTC Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among the DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. More specifically, DTC is owned by a number of its DTC Participants and by the NYSE and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC agrees with and represents to DTC Participants that it will administer its book-entry system in accordance with its rules and by-laws and requirements of law. Beneficial ownership of Shares is limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants and persons holding interests through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in Shares (owners of such beneficial interests are referred to herein as "Beneficial owners") is shown on, and the transfer of ownership is effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to DTC Participants) and on the records of DTC Participants (with respect to Indirect Participants and Beneficial owners that are not DTC Participants). Beneficial owners will receive from or through the DTC Participant a written confirmation relating to their purchase of Shares. The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability of certain investors to acquire beneficial interests in Shares.
The tax rules are uncertain with respect to the treatment of income or gains arising in respect of commodity-linked exchange-traded notes ("ETNs") and certain commodity-linked structured notes; also, the timing and character of income or gains arising from ETNs can be uncertain. An adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS (which determination or guidance could be retroactive) may affect a Fund's ability to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company and to avoid a Fund-level tax.
Market Spotlight – Bitcoin - A cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure transactions, control creation, and verify transactions. The first such cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was introduced in 2009. In 2017, the exchanges launched a Bitcoin futures contract. The CBOE contract launched on Sunday, December 10, while the CME contract launched on Monday, December 18.
The regulation of bitcoin, digital assets and related products and services continues to evolve. The inconsistent and sometimes conflicting regulatory landscape may make it more difficult for bitcoin businesses to provide services, which may impede the growth of the bitcoin economy and have an adverse effect on consumer adoption of bitcoin. There is a possibility of future regulatory change altering, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in the Funds or the ability of the Funds to continue to operate. Additionally, to the extent that bitcoin itself is determined to be a security, commodity future or other regulated asset, or to the extent that a United States or foreign government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over the Bitcoin Network, bitcoin trading or ownership in bitcoin, the price of bitcoin and the value of the Bitcoin Instruments may be adversely affected, which may have an adverse effect on the value of your investment in the Funds. In sum, bitcoin regulation takes many different forms and will, therefore, impact bitcoin and its usage in a variety of manners. The European Union has recently agreed to rules designed to reduce anonymity of bitcoin transactions, which may impact the supply and demand for bitcoin and bitcoin futures contracts.
Sia is the very first decentralized storage platform that's based on and secured by the blockchain technology. Through the blockchain tech, Sia can provide much reliable data storage options that do not have a single point of failure, can offer more storage space – at much lower costs than traditional cloud storage providers. Besides the obvious, investors are readily jumping on the Sia-train for one more reason: Privacy. Unlike cloud-storage provides, Sia's tech gives you all the keys to your own (encrypted) data, and mandates that no third party will control nor access your files.
cooperatives) is a record holder of a Share in a Fund that recognizes "excess inclusion income," then the Fund will be subject to a tax on that portion of its "excess inclusion income" for the taxable year that is allocable to such shareholders at the highest federal corporate income tax rate. The extent to which this IRS guidance remains applicable in light of the December 2006 legislation is unclear. To the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, each Fund may elect to specially allocate any such tax to the applicable CRT, or other shareholder, and thus reduce such shareholder's distributions for the year by the amount of the tax that relates to such shareholder's interest in the Fund. The Funds have not yet determined whether such an election will be made.
I am not your guru. I'm a crypto enthusiast, not a professional trader, and I make plenty of mistakes. There are a huge amount of 'gurus' and 'experts' out there but the truth is that many of them haven't got a fucking clue what they are talking about. Opinions in cryptocurrency are like assholes, everybody's got one. It's extremely easy to predict the market and hell, everybody seems like an expert, when cryptocurrency is experiencing a bull run.
The CME Group contract (symbol "BTC") began trading on December 18, 2017, building off of the success of the BRR and demand for a regulated trading venue for the digital asset market. The contract is cash-settled, based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR) which serves as a once-a-day reference rate of the U.S. dollar price of bitcoin. Bitcoin futures are listed on and subject to the rules of CME.2
The ICON technology (ICX) is incredibly exciting because it aims to harbor the single largest decentralized global network. It aims to provide its users a certain degree of connectivity between countries and cultures around the world that's currently just not possible or non-existent. This network gives way to businesses and individuals to communicate, transfer, deposit, and in many different ways cooperate with each other in a never seen before way. ICON shows extraordinary potential for the future, but it's already boasting a large community made of reputable security institutions, banks, hospitals, insurances, universities and institutions in many other sectors. Crucially, ICON is NOT yet tradable in South Korea – when that changes I expect this coin to moon.
Assume it is January 3, 2015. Bob and Ann both want to trade at Bitcoin Futures Exchange (BFE). BFE offers 3 different contracts: one expiring and settling on Friday January 9 ('weekly'), another expiring Friday January 16th ('biweekly'), and finally one expiring in March 27 ('quarterly'). Each contract is worth 1 bitcoin notionally. BFE has a policy that traders have to put 20% of margin down to enter a trade, so Bob and Ann deposit 0.2btc to their BFE accounts as they only want to trade 1 contract.
A Precautionary Note Regarding Unusual Circumstances — ProShares Trust can postpone payment of redemption proceeds for any period during which (1) [the Exchange] is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (2) trading on [the Exchange] is restricted, (3) any emergency circumstances exist, as determined by the SEC, and (4) the SEC by order permits for the protection of shareholders of the Fund, as further described in the SAI.
The Trust's website has information about the premiums and discounts for each Fund. Premiums or discounts are the differences between the NAV and market price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the NAV.
The rights of indemnification under the Declaration of Trust may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, and shall be severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Covered Person, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained in the Declaration of Trust shall affect any rights to indemnification to which Trust personnel other than Covered Persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.
Other forms of swap agreements that the Funds may enter into include: interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or "cap"; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified level, or "floor"; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
A Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds that are organized as trusts. An exchange-traded trust is a pooled trust that invests in assets, including physical commodities, and issues shares that are traded on a securities exchange. When the pool of assets is fixed, exchange traded trusts are treated as transparent for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and thus, the Fund will be treated as holding its share of an exchange traded trust's assets, and the Fund's sale of its interest in an exchange-traded trust will be treated as a sale of the underlying assets, for purpose of determining whether the Fund meets the 90 percent gross income test described above . As with investments in commodities and similar assets investments in exchange traded trusts may generate non-qualifying income for purposes of this test. As a result, a Fund's investments in exchange traded trusts can be limited by the Fund's intention to qualify as a RIC, and can bear adversely on the Fund's ability to so qualify.
Investment income and gains received by a Fund from foreign investments may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes, which could decrease the Fund's return on those investments. The effective rate of foreign taxes to which a Fund will be subject depends on the specific countries in which its assets will be invested and the extent of the assets invested in each such country and, therefore, cannot be determined in advance. If more than 50% of a Fund's assets at year end consists of the securities of foreign corporations, the Fund may elect to permit shareholders to claim a credit or deduction on their income tax returns for their pro rata portions of qualified taxes paid by the Fund to foreign countries in respect of foreign securities that the Fund has held for at least the minimum period specified in the Code. In such a case, shareholders will include in gross income from foreign sources their pro rata shares of such taxes paid by the Fund. A shareholder's ability to claim an offsetting foreign tax credit or deduction in respect of foreign taxes paid by the Fund is subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code, which may result in the shareholder's not receiving a full credit or deduction (if any) for the amount of such taxes. Shareholders who do not itemize on their U.S. federal income tax returns may claim a credit (but not a deduction) for such foreign taxes. Even if a Fund were eligible to make such an election for a given year, it may determine not to do so. Shareholders that are not subject to U.S. federal income tax, and those who invest in a Fund through tax-advantaged accounts (including those who invest through individual retirement accounts or other tax-advantaged retirement plans), generally will receive no benefit from any tax credit or deduction passed through by the Fund.
(d)	In the event of a settlement of other disposition not involving a final adjudication (as provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8.5.2) and resulting in a payment by a Covered Person, unless there has been either a determination that such Covered Person did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of this office by the court or other body approving the settlement or other disposition, or a reasonable determination, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that he or she did not engage in such conduct, such determination being made by : (i) a vote of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees (as such term is defined in Section 8.5.5) acting on the matter); or (ii) a writer opinion of independent legal counsel.
A Fund's ability to invest in MLPs that are treated as qualified publicly traded partnerships ("QPTPs") for federal income tax purposes is limited by the Fund's intention to qualify as a RIC, and if the Fund does not appropriately limit such investments or if such investments are recharacterized for U.S. tax purposes, the Fund's status as a RIC may be jeopardized. Among other limitations, a Fund is permitted to have no more than 25% of the total value if its total assets invested, including through corporations in which the Fund owns a 20% or more voting stock interest, in QPTPs including MLPs. A Fund's investments in MLPs potentially will result in distributions from that Fund (i) constituting returns of capital not included in a shareholder's income but reducing the shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares; (ii) attributable to gain recognized with respect to that is recharacterized as ordinary income and, therefore, not offset by capital losses; or (iii) taxable to such shareholder even though they represent appreciation realized by that Fund prior to the shareholder's investment therein. That Fund's investments in MLPs will also potentially cause it to recognize taxable income on its investments in in excess of the cash generated thereby, and therefore require the Fund to sell investments, including when not otherwise advantageous to do so, in order to satisfy the distribution requirements for treatment as a RIC and to eliminate a Fund-level tax.
You have to be the best story in the entire world of crypto currency that I have heard to date, and I have to say that you have got to be feeling about the best in your life! Congrats! I'm not anywhere near the same, but quite the opposite I might have to say. I'm learning as I go, and I have never been so dedicated to my success and I'm more interested in this as my possibly one chance to get to pay for the rest of my Mom's mortgage and let her stop driving a school bus all to pay for a single signature that she was trying to get dinner for 7 as always and with 2&4 year old girls screaming and the stress that I now have as a little bit of motivation to help. Only one little signature from her husband and my step father, with no explanation, well, he's passed on and the grieving process was not enough, she's just been buried with a contract that she is the responsible person for the signature that 25 years later is a million dollar loan and the details are not my business but I'm told it has ballooned to be several million with the late fees and penalties… if you have any time to contact me please send me a message through Facebook or email. I just need a little more of a clear strategy and I just don't have anyone to ask that has any level of success as you
Coinbase, headquartered in San Francisco, is an online bitcoin broking exchange which caters to US, Canada, Europe, UK, Australia, Singapore. Up to 150 US dollars and pounds can be bought on Coinbase on a daily basis. It charges a 3.99% on all the exchanges via credit or debit card. Coinbase offers very high limits. Limits depend on your account level, which is determined by how much information you have verified. Fully verified U.S. customers may buy up to $50,000 worth of bitcoin daily.
Trading directly on CME is not possible unless you are a broker yourself. This means that you have to pay a high fee – between thousands and hundreds of thousands of USD – to join CME. As an individual investor, you need to find a broker who trades on CME. You will then open an account with this broker – a margin account rather than a cash account because in options trading, there is a margin involved, as we have seen above. Because this poses a higher risk for the broker – in case you can't settle your debts – these deals can only be done in special margin accounts and not cash accounts.

The Port Botany Terminals will be working across the weekend making containers available for collection as per normal trading conditions.
Wharf storage will be charged where containers are not collected within free time, therefore the above is most important in an effort to reduce your costs.
Could you please ensure the above procedures are followed as we will need to book slots up to Monday 28th by Thursday this week.
ACFS will be evacuating containers from the Terminals over the course of the long weekend to avoid wharf storage.
Thanking you for assisting during this holiday period and have a GREAT EASTER BREAK.
In an effort to avoid financial penalties for untimely collection of imports and assist to manage container free time, please forward the below SOP to your operational staff.
Following the SOP will avoid unnecessary charges.
Pre alerts detailing expected container numbers are forwarded no less than three days prior to vessels' ETA. All pre alerts must also be sent to your account coordinator as well as sydtransbookings@auscfs.com.

Please note you must also clearly state set temperatures on reefer units, IMDG details for Hazardous containers including weather it has a Red or Green line status.
2. All Shipping Line EDO's and container weight declaration must be sent to ACFS no later than 2 days prior to the vessels ETA. Failure to do this will mean there will be no assurance the subject containers will be collected within the free days. This is due to the 48 hour notice period for all terminal slots.
3. Slots for import containers will not be booked if the container is yet to be discharged or Customs HELD, should any container be requested for collection under either of these circumstances a NO SHOW fee will be passed onto yourself.
4. The Account coordinator will supply you with a transport planning report on a daily basis, from this a delivery schedule for the next day and night can be developed. These requests must be in by no later than 12pm daily for a next day or night delivery.

JORDIN SPARKS ON TEACHING HER SON ABOUT RACISM: 'IT'S DEVASTATING'
Part of Black culture is parents discussing racism with their kids and singer Jordin Sparks knows this all too well, as she prepares herself for when she eventually teaches her 2-year-old son Dana "DJ" Isaiah Thomas Jr. about racism.
Jordin Sparks rose to fame in 2007 when she won season 6 of American Idol at 17, which made her the youngest Idol winner ever. 13 years later, Sparks is a proud mother to DJ, who she shares with her husband, model Dana Isaiah. Although they know that tough conversations are necessary, Sparks and Isaiah dread having to explain racism to little DJ, knowing it will "chip away at his innocence."
A post shared by Jordin Sparks (@jordinsparks)
"How do we tell him that he may be treated differently because his parents have melanin in their skin? It's devastating," says Sparks. "It's so hard that we have to have that conversation; he's so young, and it's hard to chip away at his innocence in that way. We're going to have to have a conversation that's going to shatter some things for our son."
On May 25, Minnesota resident George Floyd was brutally murdered by police officers, and since his death, Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality and systemic racism have spread across the nation. In those protests, Jordin Sparks sees hope that her son will have a better future. "I want his future to be better than this; it's got to be better than this," she says.

Jordin Sparks has been quarantined with her family as they wait out the coronavirus pandemic, and she has enjoyed the quality time with her son and watching him grow. "DJ has just blossomed so much during this time," says Sparks, "Being able to see him grow every single day is so much fun."
Jordin Sparks hasn't just spent her quarantine time playing, she has also been hard at work on her new EP Sounds Like Me, her first solo project in five years. "I just turned 30, and I feel so far removed from that 17-year-old girl on Idol, but am still the same at my core," says Sparks. "I've done a little bit of everything — pop, power ballads, R&B, I toured with Britney Spears — but this is the first time I've felt like a project sounds like me, so that's what I'm calling the EP."
Sounds Like Me is set to release on August 14.

Gli viene promesso un anticipo se riuscirà a portare in porto un contratto che era già stato rifiutato; lui prende i documenti e nel giro di un'ora ritorna con le firme. Ottiene l'anticipo, una promozione e a casa, da quel momento, lo aspetta una moglie che finalmente lo rispetta.

FilmTT, Industry News
Goopi and Bagha film comes to Lange Park

Published on Thursday, April 6th 2017
The trinidad+tobago film festival's Community Cinergy Series—a free outdoor cinema experience, sponsored by bpTT—continues this Saturday (April 8) at Lange Park Recreational Grounds, Chaguanas, from 7 pm, with the family-friendly animated film The Wonderful World of Goopi and Bagha.
Filled with vibrant colour and music, Shilpa Ranade's film is a magical adaptation of a cherished Bengali children's classic, and a remake of renowned Indian director Satyajit Ray's beloved work.
Acclaimed as one of the great masters of world cinema, Satyajit Ray's 1969 film was his most commercially successful, and was itself an adaptation of his grandfather Upendra Kishore Roychowdury's storybook Goopy Bagha.
With an anti-war message at its heart, Ranade's latter-day animated version, in Hindi with English subtitles, premiered to great acclaim at the Toronto Film Festival in 2013 and was shown at ttff/14.
The film follows the misadventures of Goopi and Bagha, two musicians banished from their respective villages for their tone-deaf music making. Left to wander the forests, their noisy cacophony, attracts the attention of a fearsome Ghost King who, enthralled by their sound, grants them three boons (blessings), plus a fourth to be saved for the future. They wish for tasty food to appear whenever they're hungry, magic shoes that will transport them wherever they want to go, and the ability to enchant anyone who listens to their music.
Drawing on her skills as a book illustrator and animator, Shilpa Ranade's version of this classic tale—her first feature film—is imaginative and textured, with 2D figures that recall marionettes, and the use of rich patterned cloth that creates a tactile feeling of depth.
The result is an exotic, busy canvas with lots of detail and a unique take on a heartwarming story full of humour, spirit, and kindness.

The trinidad+tobago film festival (ttff) celebrates films from and about the Caribbean and its diaspora, as well as from world cinema, through an annual festival and year-round screenings. In addition, the ttff seeks to facilitate the growth of Caribbean cinema by offering a wide-ranging industry programme and networking opportunities.

Addis Ababa University, Haramaya University and Hawasa University in collaboration with Colorado State University (USA) have organized a workshop on University community engagement on November 19, 2018 at Ghion Hotel.
This workshop was organized with the goal of transforming the Ethiopian Universities that are responsive to public needs and problems in their teaching, research and community outreach and accessible and accountable to their communities.
Prof. Tassew Woldehana, president of Addis Ababa University in his welcoming remarks noted that Addis Ababa University had been working persistently on community service till Haramaya, Bahir Dar and Hawassa Universities separated from AAU. After these three Universities became independent, said Prof. Tassew, our contribution in community service was limited to health (CHS), legal (law) and veterinary service (CVM) and to some extent agriculture via our publications from the college of Natural recourses and our CASCAPE project run by college of Development Studies.
Prof. Tassew further noted that the workshop intends to create awareness among Ethiopian universities administration, teachers, staff and students, policy makers, regional, national government and development -agencies about the benefits of University community engagement.
Addis Ababa University community engagement activities in different community services was displayed on this workshop by Dr Belay Simano from College of Development Studies:- Center for Environment and Development Research findings of community engagement practices special emphasis on AAU Gurara-Bio Farm and Choke Project; Dr Mitike Molla presented about AAU Butajira Health and Demographic Surveillance System/ Butajira Rural Health Program and AAU Clinical Legal Aid Project by Dr Yonas Birmeta. Similarly, Dr Assefa Gebre-Amlak and Dr Ashley Stokes shared trends of Colorado University Community engagement.
The workshop featured discussion on how to move from community service to engagement within Ethiopian Universities and way forward for betterment.

The Philosophy and Opinions of Bushido Garvey
The boom-bap analysis, reflection, and expression of an educator.
Black Board, White Chalk: The Miseducation and Power of Black Teachers
"Carter G's point was eloquent/ Not intellectual masturbation it's relevant/"
Police get a bad rap. They are often represented as the main agitators, violators, and aggressors towards the humanity of people of color. Why should the policing system get all the credit? I think it gets the most credit because assaulting the body and spirit is the least clandestine form of brutality. Anybody can point it out once seen. However, it's probably easier to get away with assaults on the mind and spirit, and since it's easier to get away with it could be more widespread and more venomous. Think about it, it would be harder (key word: harder) for our country to justify a simultaneous nationwide police raid through black and brown communities, but would it be as hard to get away with a mass organized system of propagandistic classroom rituals, racially coded language in textbooks/novels, and teachers with implicit bias? I'd argue that it wouldn't be as hard, and I have Carter G Woodson to back me up. In his extremely important book The Miseducation of the Negro he states "to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching." Assault on mind and spirit before body and spirit. Never seen this text actively used in the classroom? Hmmm…
"Dynamics of domination involve self domination/ So that mental slavery can reach self operation."
As you continue to read books like The Miseducation of the Negro and Intellectual Warfare by Jacob Carruthers, it becomes all the more clearer that our education system has overall (shotouts to the classroom warriors) maintained its default status, which is to program people to be comfortable with the social order, which depends heavily on systemic racism. It's America's oldest demon. A demon they've made quieter since colonization, and a demon they've made smarter. So smart in fact, that when there are people of color in meaningful and dynamic-changing positions, sometimes it doesn't even matter because they have been socialized to devalue their people's plight and/or not care about it enough to take the action necessary under such dire circumstances. This sad reality of mis-education is often true with black cops, black politicians, and unfortunately even black educators.
"Liberation in appearance, but oppression in talk/ Oppression in action, also oppression in talk/ Students don't catch it so they always get caught/"
You often hear brothers and sisters understandably demand for more black and brown teachers to be in front of black and brown students to effectively dismantle educational apartheid. I agree, but I know it's a bit more complex than that. You may want a black doctor for your kid too. However, you would never want a black doctor who is contagiously sick physically around your kid, so you should never want your kid around a black teacher who is contagiously sick mentally in regards to racial inferiority. This is especially dangerous and subconsciously sneaky because on face value a student may have an instinctual trust for the teacher due to physical similarities, but then unbeknownst to him/her (and probably the teacher even), the teacher actually functions as yet another blocked exit from the road of oppression. Think about it black people. For those who have had black teachers, have all of them understood, spoke to, and cultivated your identity and experience the way they should have? Or did you ended up feeling like they were "just like every other teacher"?
"Black teacher's have schooled the earth since the dawn of time/ To stop the thieves in the night, spark the dawn of minds/"
There is a tragic irony in the fact that the people who are direct descendants of the world's first educators, black educators (read Molefi Asante's The Egyptian Philosophers) can be caught educating
AND ANOTHER ONE!!!
in a subversive manner toward their own people. It's like the inventor of the wheel got trained to roll over himself. It doesn't have to be like this. We understand that we were socialized to lean towards individualism, we can re-socialize ourselves towards creative collaboration. We can understand that we've been conditioned to operate under the belief that education is a system of paying dues to an impartial system, we can recondition ourselves to understand that education is an opportunity for liberation from a system that is far from impartial. Instead of bottlenecking black progress through leaving our true power, oppression, past and present unaddressed in our school content, we could break the levies and allow knowledge of self and wisdom of advancement to flood our communities and networks. This can happen, and this is what the song "Black Board, White Chalk" is about. I invite you to the song and the visual depiction of it. Thank you Brotherhood Productions for directing the vision, thank you Sam I am the Son for producing the song. May this be a moment where we advance. Peace and progress.
Feature: Story Behind the Lyric
"these were actual notes…"
There was a professional development session led by Dr. Susan G Goodwin and Yolanda Montalvo that focused on the mis-education of the black educator. By that time, I had developed a new method of note taking for the more meaningful PDs that I attend to, and that method was to take notes in rhyme form. The chorus was written after the meeting, but how you see the verses is virtually identical to how a took them in the meeting (save some minor word changes for flwo reasons). They represent my reflections and my learning that occurred at that PD, one that I wish every black or brown educator could be at.

Go GeoShopping With New Sabre Feature
by Mark Rogers
Mar 21, 2006 1:00am
Sabre Travel Network is launching the first GeoShopping feature offered through a GDS. With GeoShopping, offered free-of-charge, North American and European travel agents can now quickly and easily search for and shop off-airport car rental locations from specific geographic search points in a single transaction. Geographic points that can be used to search for locations and to shop pricing include city and state, zip/postal code, address, point of interest, rail station and hotel. Searching by rail station has the additional capability to search using a "wild card" for those instances where the exact name of the rail station is not known. The hotel search point may be either the GDS's hotel property number or the segment number in an open passenger name record (PNR). The resulting display will show the car rental companies and their addresses, car types, rates, approximate prices and distance/direction from the search point.

Bishop Bertin: the Church is close to the people and takes steps forward in dialogue with the new government
The United Nations intervenes: crisis, drought and terrorist attacks
Garowe (Agenzia Fides) - There is recent news of an important road project launched in Somali Puntland that will favor strong development of the area.
It is a regional project with strategic importance that involves the Horn of Africa, in particular Ethiopia. The new road will connect the new port located in the historical city of Garacad, 700 km from Mogadishu, with the city of Galcayo and Galdogob, on the Ethiopian border. Once completed, it will allow the goods arriving in the port (Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden) to arrive in the country in a short space of time. The aim of the project is to serve the Horn of Africa, central Somalia and the south-eastern region of Ethiopia by providing new trade routes accessible to the rest of the world, in particular to the Persian Gulf and Asia, also helping the populations of Oromia, Ogaden, far from the port services of Djibouti.
"The Administration of the port of Garacad hopes to create commercial relations and relations with the entire maritime world, a new port needs international relations", said Prof. Sonkor Geyre, President of the IFSA Institute of Federalism and Security Analysis. "It will thus be possible to sort out goods and goods useful for the humanitarian crises of the entire area. In addition to the contacts already underway - explains Sonkor - we are inviting maritime authorities from all over the world to visit the port which will be inaugurated in October. This is the largest project in Somalia in the last 40 years".
The port of Garacad, in the Modug region, borders Ethiopia to the west and the Somali regions to the north and south, and is a development point for the whole area. The Garacad-Galkacyo-Galdogob corridor crosses an area inhabited by about 1,000,000 Somalis, most of them farmers in an area under development.
The study of the 309 km that will connect the cities is carried out by the Puntland Highway Authority, the government body responsible for road transport and infrastructure in the state of Puntland in Somalia, and sees the participation of the KAAD Institute and foreign engineers and will allow transport goods arriving in the port of Garacad as far as Ethiopia.

Like most independent schools, tuition does not cover the total expense of educating each student. Your gift helps make up the difference.
The Roeper Annual Fund helps to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of operating the school. With over 40% of Roeper families depending on financial assistance, the school could not charge the full amount without limiting the number of qualified students who could afford to attend. We seek to make Roeper as affordable as possible for as many families as possible.
The Roeper Annual Fund supports everything from faculty salaries and professional development to financial aid and technology - all of which fuel student engagement, learning and success. Community support of the Roeper Annual Fund ensures we are able to maintain the standard of excellence on which our students depend.
The Roeper Annual Fund is the foundation for all fundraising efforts at The Roeper School. Your gift will be put to use this school year and will immediately benefit today's students. When you make a gift to the Roeper Annual Fund you join hundreds of parents, alumni, alumni parents, former staff, grandparents and friends of the school who support Roeper with a gift each year. Annual Fund donations are tax-deductible, unrestricted funds that can be directed where they are needed most.


The University of Michigan School of Dentistry's Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene Program transitioned to a 2-year program, six consecutive semester program in May 2019. Admitted students attend orientation and begin classes in the spring semester only. The new application opens each year on August 1st and we review applications on a rolling basis until the class is full. Please contact Lisa Dodge in the dental hygiene office for more information: (734) 763-3392.
Public demand for dental services has created excellent opportunities for those interested in a career in dental hygiene. The dental hygienist is a member of the oral health team and is responsible for a wide range of services related to the provision of oral healthcare and patient education.
The entry-level Bachelor of Science (BS) degree program provides the education and training needed to become a dental hygienist. It allows you to explore not only the professional responsibilities of a clinician but also roles in research, education, public health, administration, and advocacy.
The Dental Hygiene undergraduate degree program includes classroom and laboratory work as well as hands-on experience at many specialty clinics, offering students a wide variety of patient experiences. Intraprofessional (dental students and dental hygiene students) joint courses and shared clinical care of patients further broadens the dental hygiene student learning experiences. Dental hygiene students are taught by both dental and dental hygiene faculty who are committed to preparing students to be the next "leaders and best" in the profession.
Research also plays a role within the program and involves several opportunities for students to explore topics in the areas of social and basic science.
The dental hygiene program at the University of Michigan is structured to confer the baccalaureate degree at completion. The curriculum offers a broad-based education in the social, behavioral, and biological sciences, preparing students for the practice of contemporary dental hygiene and for leadership roles in oral healthcare of the future. Graduates will be ready not only for the traditional dental hygiene responsibilities of clinician and health educator, but also for the roles of consumer advocate, change agent, researcher, and healthcare manager/administrator.

Hi, everybody! Welcome to Some Odd Girl's 2nd annual Trick or Treat Halloween Hop!
We're so happy that you're joining us! You might have arrived from LEAH's blog – if so, you're on the right track! If not, you'll want to CLICK HERE to get things started, because you won't want to miss a thing!
All of the Odd Girls have concocted creepy little creations to inspire you today, and you're invited to visit each blog to see what's been brewing! We'll be sharing some of the projects at the Some Odd Girl blog over the next few days, but TODAY, we kick things off with the hop!
I made three Halloween cards to share with you today featuring "Cauldron Tia", "Halloween Tia" and "Witchy Mae"!
AND, so you can snag even more treats, we have a discount code for you!
Our hop runs until October 31st at midnight Eastern, and we'll announce the winners on the Some Odd Girl blog on Monday, November 3rd. Happy Haunting and HOPPING! Your next stop is ALEXIS!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! "Witching" you a very happy Halloween from all of us at Some Odd Girl!
Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team Challenge!
Hi, everybody! I have a few cards to share today featuring Lawn Fawn stamps and papers for the design team call for the Lawnscaping Challenge's Facebook Inspiration Team.
I've been participating in the challenges at the Lawnscaping Challenge blog for a while now, and thought it would be fun to try out for the team!
For my first card, I combined stamps from Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Arctic" and "Love You A Latte" sets with papers from the "Snow Day" and "Peace Joy Love" petite paper pads. The walrus's scarf is from the "Winter Owl" set, and the coffee cup is from the "Winter Fox" set.
My second card is a different take on the moose in the "Critters in the Arctic" set. I dressed him up for Halloween with some props in the "Spooktacular" set. And, there's no way he's going trick or treating with just one treat bag, so I gave him five!
My third card is inspired by an idea I had to combine one of the sentiments from the "Science of Love" set with some other stamp sets to make a "punny" Halloween card.
I stamped the back of one of the cookies in the "Milk and Cookies" set with watermark ink on vellum and heat-embossed them with opaque white powder. To make the other parts, I used a circle punch and a regular hole punch on some paper scraps.
The jar is from the "Summertime Charm" set and the tag sentiment is from the "Spooktacular" set. The chevron paper is from a retired Lawn Fawn paper pad.
Hope you enjoyed checking out my cards today! I hope you'll be inspired to mix and match some of your stamp sets to make something new!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll get some crafty time to make something fun over the weekend!
Hi, everybody! Hope you are having a good week so far! I'm playing along with the current Lawnscaping challenge, which is to make a one-layer card.
My order with the new Lawn Fawn stamp sets came in yesterday, so I started playing with them! As you've probably noticed with other cards I make, one of my favorite techniques is creating a scene with masking, which is perfect for this challenge!
Except for the grass stamp, all of the stamps I used are from the brand-new "Spooktacular" set. You'll find the grass stamp in "Critters at the Dog Park".
I created the background by masking off all the stamped images and sponging on a few shades of purple ink. Then, I colored the images and heat-embossed the sentiment.
I would have liked the embossing to be sharper, but that's my fault…I didn't let the background ink dry long enough. I think that I'll stamp the sentiment before creating the background when I try this technique again.
For all of the details on this challenge, or to link up your entry before the deadline (Wednesday, September 10th), stop by the Lawnscaping Challenge blog! And while you're there, check out what the DT made for the challenge…there's lots of fun, one-layer inspiration!
Happy Halloween, everybody! I won't be getting any little ghouls or goblins ready for trick or treating tonight, but I wanted to share some fun (and delightfully creepy) cards with you!
This is the fourth time we've done a Grim Creeper event. If you want to check out the other hops we've done, click HERE.
I have two cards today. Both were made with free retro photos that I found online. I just picked a couple for my cards, and paired each photo with a creepy sentiment. I love that they pay tribute to shows like "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Twilight Zone".
I changed the word on the seed packets from "Beets" to "Betty," and added a face from another retro photo to the packet.
My friend Sparkle also has a Grim Creeper card to share, so pop by her blog to check it out!

Honess Roe, A (2011) Absence, Excess and Epistemological Expansion: Towards a framework for the study of animated documentary Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 6 (3). pp. 215-230.
This article gives an overview of the history of animated documentary, both in regard to the form itself and how it has been studied. It then goes on to present a new way of thinking about animated documentary, in terms of the way the animation functions in the texts by asking what the animation does that the live-action alternative could not. Three functions are suggested: mimetic substitution, non-mimetic substitution and evocation. The author suggests that, by thinking about animated documentary in this way, we can see how animation has broadened and deepened documentary's epistemological project by opening it up to subject matters that previously eluded live-action film.

Don't Close Your Eyes to Surveillance Dangers: A Response to Richard Epstein
By Jennifer Granick on January 29, 2014 at 8:24 am
Yesterday, Professor Richard Epstein wrote a post for Just Security recommending unmodified continuation of the NSA's bulk phone records collection. Today, I responded to his post, and explained why I think Richard's position is a surprising divergence from what I understand his values to be.
Told Ya So: NSA's Collection Of Metadata Is Screamingly Illegal
By Jennifer Granick on January 24, 2014 at 1:50 pm
Yesterday's report from the independent Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, or PCLOB, confirms what Christopher Sprigman and I said back in June of last year in our New York Times Op Ed "The Criminal NSA". The NSA's telephone record metadata program, in which it collects the calling records of almost everyone inside the United States, is illegal. Amend that: it's screamingly illegal. Flat out.

Prediction for 2014: The Fourth Amendment Evolves to Regulate Mass Surveillance
By Jennifer Granick on December 31, 2013 at 1:40 pm
When should courts follow legal precedent and when should the law change? This is a debate that underlies this month's contrary decisions about the constitutionality of government collection of telephone call metadata under section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act. And despite this week's dual holdings in favor of the government—on this issue and on the issue of laptop border searches—a judicial consensus may be emerging that the Fourth Amendment must evolve along with technology and government surveillance capabilities.
Foreigners and the Review Group Report: Part 2
By Jennifer Granick on December 19, 2013 at 9:51 am
Yesterday, I wrote that the report from the President's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies--"Liberty And Security In A Changing World"—suggests reforms that would improve U.S. surveillance law's protection of the rights of foreigners. My non US-person friends seem underwhelmed, so I thought I'd take a moment to elaborate on the changes I'm talking about. Read More.

Correcting the Record on Section 702: A Prerequisite for Meaningful Surveillance Reform, Part III
In our previous posts, we've argued that the NSA is collecting massive amounts of data about US citizens under conditions that have nothing to do with terrorism or national security, thanks to the authorities granted to the US government by section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Petition to Unseal Technical-Assistance Orders and Materials
If you attended a recent march to protest, wrote a check to the ACLU, or recently visited a politically leaning website, consider yourself an activist, says Stanford legal scholar Granick. Not only might the government be watching you, but your digital footprint could end up being visible to people and organizations you never imagined would care. Know your risks and take safety precautions, advises Granick, or don't be surprised at the troubling outcome.
Techdirt Podcast Episode 120: The Surveillance State
In the post-Snowden era, we don't have to tell you how important it is to stay engaged with (and vigilant about) the surveillance state in America. Jennifer Granick is the Director of Civil Liberties at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, and author of the new book American Spies — and this week she joins us for an in-depth discussion about the surveillance sta

How Many Times Has the Government Spied on You Today?
The Snowden revelations, while dramatic, have done little to amp up public concern about personal surveillance.
After all, thanks to technology, electronic spying is cheap — so cheap the government can't afford not to do it.
'American Spies' author Jennifer Granick on privacy in the age of surveillance
The internet makes access to information incredibly easy, and we normally see that as a good thing. But what if the information being accessed is details of our private lives? And what if the person accessing them is a government intelligence agency? This week we speak with Jennifer Granick, author of "American Spies" and director of civil liberties at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, about the quest for privacy in the age of surveillance.


On another thread (http://forums.tombihn.com/travel-tips/5052-going-chicago.html#post42904), I mentioned that Kiddo and I will soon be in Chicago for a five-day writing/research trip. The plan is to write in blocks throughout the day and early evening, and we will also be taking pictures, shooting footage, and doing research for our next project. We're planning on doing a lot of walking since daytime temps are expected to be in the mid 40s, and we'll also be relying on public transport and taxis.
Because of all the walking, I decided that I'd two-bag it and carry my clothing in my WF and my work stuff in my Synapse. This to me is more conducive to walking around—and the Synapse has a smaller footprint both on and off my person. At night, we'll be going out, and both bags will be left at the hotel.
Here's what I'm taking; if I don't expire before the end of finals week, I'll try to post a picture or two.
You'll notice a 15" MBP, the Synapse with mini Solar and small Steel Dyneema OPs, a Rock Star (which I had to restrain myself from drinking on the spot, I'll have you know), a 27-oz Klean Kanteen, earbuds, sunglasses, Clif Bars, hand sanitizer, Kiddo's present, a pen, Field Notes, and Italian Kleenex (yes, Janine, there's still plenty for you).
I've got shoes packed into the WF, which is why it's a bit bulgy in the front. More pics to come from Chicago!
...Field Notes, and Italian Kleenex (yes, Janine, there's still plenty for you).
These two things warm my heart. Field Notes for a trip to Chicago - perfect! And I'm counting your Italian Kleenex consumption. I use these forum posts as documentation.
Anything I can do to help, Janine. I travel with your comfort in mind.
it's a beautifully mild and rainy morning in Chicago, and I wanted to share a few pictures with you of our travels so far.
We left Iowa yesterday under blue skies. We drove to the train station and then took train into the city. This is Kiddo's car, by the way.
Kiddo waiting for the train with her Imago (and ginormous freaking roller bag; we're working on that one).
And finally, here's my Synapse chilling in front of the hotel's Christmas tree. More to come!
Thanks for sharing! I was looking over your packing list -- How do you carry the soap/shampoo bar inside your bag, once it gets wet? i.e., Ziploc bag, soap dish, etc...?
The soap came in a little paper bag. I just let the soap dry, and before we left I stuck it back in the paper bag. If we had been moving from place to place, I would have packed it in a snack-sized ziploc, perhaps with a paper towel around it to pick up any extra moisture.
So, I've been back for a few days, and now that I've had time to detox—I mean, rest, I thought I'd share a few more pictures with all of you. First, what you've all been wondering: no, we didn't quite finish our project, but I'd say it's about 4/5 done at this point. It was an absolute luxury to focus on that one thing over the course of a few days. Second, we were lame and didn't make it to the Newberry this time. Next time, Nancy, I promise.
But I can make good on my word to share with you a few of the places we went. This picture was taken at The Violet Hour (http://theviolethour.com/), my favorite bar. Now that it's very famous, I'd totally recommend getting there when it opens at 6. That way you're guaranteed a table without a wait. This drink is something the mixologist made for us: Genevieve gin, Lillet Rouge, and St. Germain.
I don't have a picture of this (thank God, you'll be saying) but I wasn't kidding when I said we were going to get piercings in Chicago. Kiddo had her tragus done, and I got both of my traguses and one lobe. We went to Insight Studios (www.insightstudiosonline.com/), and I can say it was hands-down the best experience I've had. Kiddo has a needle phobia and Bob, the piercer, was amazingly quick, precise, and matter-of-fact. I do not have a needle phobia, and while I was getting pierced we just chit-chatted. I don't know if this information is useful to anyone here, but if you're in the Chicago area and need any work done, Bob's your man.
The nicest place we went this trip was The Drawing Room (http://thedrchicago.com/). They specialize in what they call "culinary cocktails," and the attention to detail was impeccable. We did actually eat things on this trip, and the dinner we had here was fantastic, with many things sized to share.
There are a lot of writers on this forum, and I've gotta say: if there's any way you can take a weekend or even a night to get away and do good work, you should. I've never allowed myself to do something like this, and it ended up being totally relaxing and so worth it in terms of what we got done.
It should! It's her favorite bag, too, and she has other TBs.
This sounds like a great trip!
Thanks for the pictures. First time seeing a cupcake machine. Is it good?
When you carrying both bags, do you carry your wf in briefcase mode and synapse in backpack mode?
When I carried both bags, I wore the Synapse as a backpack and used the Absolute Shoulder Strap to carry the WF. My WF does not have backpack straps.
Thanks for the mention of the Chagrin Valley products. I ordered a few of the samples (including some shea butter that should be great for my winter skin) and can't wait to try them out. I'm trying to cut down on the size of the toiletries I travel with, and it would help a lot to have one bar that can double as shampoo and body soap in a pinch.
You're very welcome, though I can't take sole credit since a lot of forum users have advocated for CV in the past. I'd say that the bar that I use (the tea tree) does quite well as both soap and shampoo. It's astringent enough that hair gets really clean, but there are enough essential oils that it doesn't desiccate my skin. The fact that it's a solid can go a long way to freeing up space in the 1-quart bag if you're flying, too.
I will admit to occasionally using the manly all-in-one shower gels when I travel. Sometimes I just prefer liquid soap, but for whatever reason I find Dr. Bronner's liquid too drying (the bars are fine; I'm not sure what's wrong with me). I've used Dove and Nivea with good results.
