Creams: One of the first things that come to mind is creams. These typically do not require a medical prescription and are easily attainable. These can help with the problem, but are not going to solve it completely.
Laser Treatment: This is seen as the best solution, and is known as one of the most effective long term solutions. Fractional Lasers are successful because they help them stimulate new collagen growth, which greatly improves the skin's surface.
Continued Care: No matter what treatment is your preferred choice, it is always important to continue care and follow best skin care practices. For example, acne should not be picked or popped as those actions cause more damage.

Chelles es una localidad y comuna francesa situada en el departamento de Sena y Marne, en la región de Isla de Francia.

Chelles se encuentra en el área suburbana oriental de París y a 18.5 km de su centro

La comuna de Chelles es parte del sector de "Porte de Paris", uno de los cuatro sectores de la nueva ciudad de Marne-la-Vallée.

Los habitantes son llamados con el gentilicio en francés de Chellois.

Panorama

Historia
Chelles alberga importantes restos de una etapa cultural del paleolítico que fueron estudiados por el antropologista pionero del siglo XIX Louis Laurent Gabriel de Mortillet (1821-1898) y quien bautizó al periodo como "Chellense", aunque posteriormente esta denominación caería en desuso en favor de abbevilliense

La villa que era conocida como Calae durante el periodo romano fue una de las residencias del rey franco Clodoveo I. La reina Batilde, esposa de Clodoveo II que más tarde sería santificada, fundó en el siglo VII la abadía merovíngia de "Notre-Dame-des-Chelles", en gran parte demolida durante la Revolución francesa.

Demografía

Transporte

Chelles está servida por la estación Chelles – Gournay en la RER línea E de París y en la línea raíl suburbana Transilien Paris – Est.

Le parc du Contades est un parc public de la ville de Strasbourg. Situé dans la Neustadt, il a été créé en 1764 par le Maréchal Louis Georges Érasme de Contades sur l'emplacement d'un ancien champ de tir (« Schiessrain »).

Il est délimité à l'ouest par l'avenue de la Paix et la rue René Hirschler, au sud par la rue Turenne, au nord par le boulevard Gambetta et est bordé par la rue des Arquebusiers et l'Aar à l'est.

Le parc constitue le cœur d'un quartier urbanisé dans les années 1880 qui se compose de villas et d'immeubles bourgeois. La synagogue de la Paix y a été consacrée en 1958.

Historique

Le site, appelé en 1480 « promenade hors de la porte des Juifs », était utilisé comme champ de tir par les arbalétriers et les arquebusiers (d'où le nom de la rue et de la passerelle des Arquebusiers), depuis le Moyen Âge.

En 1764, le Maréchal Louis Georges Érasme de Contades, commandant de la province d'Alsace de 1762 à 1788, crée une promenade plantée de tilleuls à l'emplacement de l'ancien champ de tir (« Schiessrain »).

L'architecte Pierre Valentin Boudhors réalisa, en 1768, les plans d'un Vauxhall qui devait prendre place au nord de la promenade. Le projet ne fut jamais réalisé.

Les autorités militaires firent abattre tous les arbres et bâtiments environnants, par crainte d'un siège de la ville, en 1793. Le parc fut finalement rétabli en 1799.

Au , des lieux de loisirs et restaurants s'y implantent. Les jardins Kammerer et Lips, ouverts en 1843, offrent aux promeneurs un restaurant, un spectacle-panorama et une fosse à ours. Des maisons de villégiature sont également construites à proximité de la promenade.

En 1860, l'école de natation masculine du fossé du Faux-Rempart est transférée près du parc du Contades, en bordure de l'Aar. Elle appartenait à la famille Weisz.

Avant 1870, la maison à l'italienne qui abritait le restaurant Jardin Lips était entourée par des bosquets dans lesquels se trouvaient des statues de déesses, un temple d'Apollon, une chapelle rustique, un chemin de fer circulaire, une pyramide, un jet d'eau, des chalets ou encore des grottes.

Le restaurant Jardin Kammerer est fermé en 1873.

Avec l'annexion de l'Alsace-Lorraine à l'Empire allemand et l'aménagement de la Neustadt, le parc du Contades est intégré à ce nouveau quartier. Il est cependant amputé de sa partie sud sur laquelle est édifiée une partie de l'avenue des Vosges et l'actuelle place de la République (ancienne « Kaiserplatz »).

Vers 1890, une « Maison du lait » (Molkereianstaltse) se trouvait au nord du parc. Elle est fermée après 1918.

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un abri antiaérien est construit à l'emplacement de l'actuelle synagogue.

En 1945, les bains de rivière du Contades sont transférés à la ville. La municipalité y aménage un bassin de compétition de , un sauna, des vestiaires et un « bain d'air et de soleil » en 1947. Les bains de rivière ferment dans les années 1960 pour des questions d'hygiène.

La dernière modification du parc remonte à 1954 lors de la construction de la grande synagogue.

Le petit kiosque, appelé « Temple de l'Amour », est déplacé au bord du lac de l'Orangerie (il s'y trouve encore aujourd'hui) en 1958.

Dans les années 1960, les villas Krieger et Burger ainsi que l'auberge Spalch qui bordaient le parc sont détruites et remplacées par des immeubles.

En 2013, le tracé des allées a été revu et les alignements d'arbres confortés afin de se rapprocher des plans originaux.

Aujourd'hui le parc du Contades est un lieu de promenade très apprécié des Strasbourgeois. On y trouve des aires de jeux pour enfants ainsi que des terrains de sports, de pétanque et des tables de ping-pong. La partie sud-est du parc, en bordure de l'Aar, est appelée Petit Contades.

Édifices remarquables

Le kiosque à musique
Construit en 1882 sur l'actuelle place Broglie, face à l'Opéra de Strasbourg, ce kiosque fut transféré à la fin du  au parc du Contades, lors de la construction de la fontaine du Vater Rhein. De forme octogonale, avec ses poteaux de fonte et son toit à lanterneau, il abrite toujours des concerts de musique classique ou de jazz en soirée. La scène du kiosque est notamment utilisée l'été pour accueillir des concerts d'harmonies dans le cadre des « Flâneries musicales ».

À l'entrée nord-est du parc on peut également observer la passerelle des Arquebusiers qui enjambe l'Aar. Au sud-est se trouve le pont du Contades (construit en 1897) avec de remarquables garde-corps et luminaires en fer forgé.

La villa Osterloff (manoir du Contades)

Villa pittoresque située au  rue des Arquebusiers, classée monument historique en 1992, mélangeant des références historicistes du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance, construite de 1901 à 1902 par l'architecte Albert Nadler pour l'entrepreneur Otto Gunderloch. C'est l'une des dernières villas qui bordaient autrefois le parc, elle porte le nom de la famille de l'architecte Waldemar Osterloff, devenu propriétaire en 1929. La villa a été restaurée en 1993.

La grande synagogue de la Paix

Située « avenue de la Paix » (ce qui explique le nom de l'édifice), la synagogue consistoriale est à la fois un édifice religieux et le centre communautaire israélite de la ville.

Le projet de reconstruction de la synagogue de Strasbourg, détruite pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, fut confié à Charles Ehrlich en  (alors président de la commission administrative). À la suite d'un concours, le choix fut porté sur la personne de l'architecte Claude Meyer-Lévy, secondé par Jean-Paul Berst et René Heller, après la brève participation de Charles-Gustave Stoskopf.

Les travaux débutèrent le  pour ne s'achever qu'avec l'inauguration officielle le .

Russia Says Downed 45 Drones Aimed at Syria Base
August, 17, 2018 - 10:49
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russian air defense assets in Syria have downed 45 drones targeting their main base in the country, its military said Thursday, after an attack by Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group on a Syrian army base a day earlier killed seven troops.
- World news -
The Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said that five of the drones were shot down in the last three days near the Hmeimim air base, the Daily Star reported on Thursday.
The base in the province of Latakia serves as the main hub for Russian operations in Syria.
Konashenkov said that while the drones appear primitive, they use sophisticated technologies and have a range of up to 100 kilometers. He noted that the militants wouldn't have been able to assemble the drones without outside help, but didn't specify who might have assisted them.
The Russian general added that the number of drone attacks have increased recently, saying all were launched by militants based in the northern province of Idlib.
Idlib has become the main base for President Bashar Assad's foes, which moved there after being forced out of other areas across Syria as part of surrender deals often negotiated with the Russians on behalf of the Syrian government.
Syrian forces have regained control over key cities, like Aleppo, Homs and Dara'a.
The authorities also have restored control over key highways, allowing safe travel all the way form the Jordanian border in the south to the central province of Hama.

ProQuest Accelerates Research with Geo-Referenced Sanborn Maps
Geo Edition is now world's largest collection of historical GIS-enabled urban maps
"Sanborn Maps are the go-to historical U.S.maps in academic and public libraries. Now with this new geo-referenced content and layering technology, they are exponentially more useful for research," said Chris Cowan, ProQuest, Vice-President. "The technology conquers traditional map research bottlenecks, where comparative reviews and data connections are difficult and time-consuming. This is a significant advancement for not only geographers, but social scientists, environmentalists, urban planners, and genealogists."
Founded in 1867, the Sanborn Map Company was the primary American publisher of fire insurance maps for nearly 100 years. Popular among researchers because of their detailed descriptions of streets, buildings, and properties in U.S. towns and cities, the maps were digitized by ProQuest to make them more accessible and searchable. Now, the geo-referencing in ProQuest® Sanborn Maps Geo Edition overcomes the challenges of finding historic areas that have been renamed, remodeled or wiped away over time by enabling users to search and compare these locations using modern addresses, geographic coordinates and geographic maps.
Geo Edition includes a new search interface that enables users to access more than 60,000 geo-referenced maps, covering some of the most populous and historical cities in the United States. Maps can be viewed individually in greater detail with rotation, panning, cropping, and dynamic zoom in/out features. An integrated dynamic overlay map viewer allows maps to be compared and contrasted over time with multiple maps from the same city and against modern day street, satellite, and hybrid views. Geo Edition also connects with other geo-spatial content through GeoTIFF files that can be used to import data into the map files.
Geo Edition is an all-new product that's available through subscription or permanent site license. Learn more at www.proquest.com. It is part of ProQuest's larger initiative to continually innovate with technology, unlocking the full potential of legacy research tools.

You see, I love a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They're cheap, they taste good and they remind me of the best parts of my childhood. The only problem with most PBJs is that they can leave you with an acute case of peanut butter mouth. PBM is not a recognized disorder by most medical associations, but I try to avoid it anyway.
The secret to avoiding PBM when making PBJ is simple. Use a ratio of 3 parts jelly to one part peanut butter. You can even blend different flavors of jelly for a real party in your mouth. I know you're probably all saying that such a sandwich, while avoiding the terrors of PBM, would put the consumer at a high risk for other issues such as sticky fingers syndrome and, of course, jelly shirt.
To this, I say welcome to the party! Now you're using your brains instead of your microwaves.
So we want to avoid sticky fingers, jelly shirt and PBM. How can we do this? Why, more bread, of course. We double up the bread on the jelly side to avoid sandwich soak-through. You can even use whole wheat and boost up your fiber intake, if you're someone who worries about those kinds of things.
Again we've solved one problem, but created another. No one wants to eat two pieces of bread smashed together. That's not even a sandwich. So we need something else between the two jelly-side pieces that won't contribute to jelly soak-through or PBM. What can we use?
What can we not use? A sliced banana is fine for the unadventurous, but an apple will add a nice contrasting taste and texture to the classic PB&J. Calorie-counters, avert your eyes, but a little lightly-toasted marshmallow goes with just about anything. And if you're adding that, you have to throw in a Hershey bar. You just have to. Peanut butter and jelly s'mores, anyone? I thought so.
There are infinitely more possibilities, and that's my point exactly. The only possibility with a frozen, mass-produced PBJ is that it isn't completely thawed when you bite into the center. Nobody wants that.
So there you have it, people. Don't buy frozen, individually-packaged replications of a simple (or needlessly complex) American classic. You can make a real PB&J, I promise.


Amy suspects Pollard and Brenda are more than friends!
Amy still can't make the colour of her neck match the colour of her face, but she's starting to put two and two together about Pollard and Brenda – and getting the right answer. She's heard noises coming from one of the bedrooms in the B&B and complains about it in front of Brenda – who was making the noises, with Pollard! Amy doesn't realise this, but David does.
Amy is getting more suspicious, though, and talks to Victoria about Brenda's "friendship" with Pollard. Meanwhile, Brenda can't keep her hands off her new friend and they're soon making noises in a bedroom again!
Laurel's starting to get suspicious, too, but not about Brenda and Pollard. Gabby has told Laurel that Ashley pushed Sandy over! He did what??? Before Laurel can get any more details from the little girl, Ashley walks in and Gabby closes down. Laurel tries to talk to Sandy, but he closes down, too. Sandy doesn't have to say anything, though… the tears running down his cheeks tell Laurel that something is seriously wrong.
Katie's behaviour tells Megan that she's not after Declan's money (which is just as well as he's cash poor right now). And Katie herself tells Declan he can have another chance – but he'd better not blow it.

Finnegan Purl Knits: I'm Hiding My Knitting!
I've decided that the only way I am going to be able to prepare my house for the Easter festivities is to have my husband hide my knitting. I'm telling you that the Clapotis pattern is TOTALLY ADDICTIVE. Once I get started I can't put it down. The variety of stitches almost insures no boredom. And you just have to keep on going knowing that soon you'll be able to drop those stitches and see the pattern emerge. I can't get anything else done...so, yeah, he's gotta hide the knitting. I have NO will power.
with tails like big guns that would knock over stuff.
that fits in a carrier.
Poor Ben, that's gotta be "ruff".


"Age Ain't Nothin But a Number" yet, as an 18-year-old photographer, do you find yourself ever discriminated against? What battles do you face as a young artist, and how do you overcome them?
I never find my age to be a problem, some people don't even know I'm 18 lol, it always comes as a surprise. As a young artist I feel like I have an advantage to learn and become better in due time. I identified with my craft at an early age and that can take a lifetime for some.
Being that this is all a journey, when did you initially become interested in photography?
I became interested in photography when my older brother blessed me with my very first film camera. I was then enrolled in some classes at The Essex Art Center in Lawrence, MA where I learned how to process ,and develop film at the age of 9. Since then my perspective has become important to me.
Upon reviewing your portfolio, I sense a more "raw" and photojournalistic approach to your imagery. How would you describe your visual aesthetic?
That pretty much sums it up. I grew up in a raw city and I wanted to document it, show the beauty of where we come from despite what people say. People look at some of my images and say "Wow that's amazing where did you take this?" and we'll be standing in that same grimy location haha. I want to show people a new way of looking at the world we live in.
Stepping in as the subject of the photo can seem terrifying for those that spend much time behind the lens. Are you critical of your appearance as the subject?
The same way I capture others and who they are, I'm not afraid to show myself in front of the lens. The camera gives me an opportunity to show who I am.
Your work also features inanimate objects, landscapes and streetscapes. What stories do you try to evoke when the subject isn't a human being?
I like to highlight the details that some people might miss on a daily basis. All things matter. Most importantly our environment, it's where we live. We must knowledge it, everything about our space. When I capture a landscape it is real, that place exists whether it's a dirty alley or the moon at night.
What camera(s) do you frequently use, and what models do you desire to obtain?
I use my Nikon N55 film camera, Canon 5D when it's something important lol, and I wish to own a Hasselblad medium format.
In a digital age, how do you bring new life to the world of 35mm film?
Simply by just using film I'm keeping it alive with my own stories. I also love prints, they're timeless. My kids will find them and relive my life through images.
Do you set time to go exploring, or are you more structured/routine with your time spent in the field shooting?
I'm not structured with time to shoot at all. Then it wouldn't be natural, there are days where I feel like exploring and I bring my camera along and that's when these moments happen.
How has social media affected your ability to share your work?
Social media has been a great tool to share, but I'd much rather display my serious projects in person through exhibitions. The whole presentation without being behind a screen feels better, it feels like people really care about what you're doing instead of scrolling through.
Traveling to new lands is always beneficial and evolves your perspective. What was the stimulus for your trip to Haiti? What did you take away from that trip mentally and visually?
My trip to Haiti was organized by an amazing group of people, Bread Loaf. We are a creative writing organization that holds workshops in schools locally in Lawrence, MA and we are building connections internationally to help improve the school education system (everywhere) by helping kids and teachers understand how important it is for classrooms to be student driven. It's not only about meeting the state tests, it's more about keeping your students engaged and giving them a voice through writing. The trip impacted me on many levels. I am Dominican and to be on the other side of the island opened my eyes to the truth and not what people say about Haiti. I love it there and I wish to return soon. Don't judge anything by word of mouth or by the media. See for yourself.

With many photos destroyed in the hurricane flooding, Santa took pictures with children our GCCISD Partner in Education Clark Elementary to help rebuild holiday albums. Covestro's Santa and elves helped make it a memorable day at the school!
The BASF Pasadena site was proud to donate toys for McMaster Elementary's Science Fair. These toys will be used as participatory awards for all students who entered a project in the science fair.
For 20 families, the Covestro Baytown facility brought the miracle of the season to children in the area. Each department adopted one or more families at the Baytown Resource and Assistance Center and the Promise Center of Baytown. Truckloads of toys, clothing and the joy of the season were delivered to the agencies the second week of December to bring the joy and laughter to the children in need. Paulina Carrillo, Executive Director of the Baytown Resource and Assistance Center, knows firsthand what these toys will mean for the children as her organization has assisted more than 3,000 families who were displaced by the hurricane.
Chevron Phillips Chemical's Pasadena facility hosted 20 bomb squad and SWAT team members from various agencies across the region for a tactical training class to practice breaching doorways. Officers from the Houston Police Department, Harris County Sheriff's Office, Sugarland Police Department, and Charlotte, North Carolina, Police Department received training on the technical aspects behind failure mechanics and had the chance to apply these theories inside Pasadena's former quality control lab and training center, which is scheduled for demolition, but offered more than 20 inside doors for the police officers to gain hands-on experience.
Dow's Utilities & Environmental Operations celebrated six years of OSHA-free performance in February. This significant milestone was achieved by the team and its partners' relentless focus on the Life Critical Standards and EH&S excellence, according to Production Leader Jerred Bellina.
In January, INEOS Chocolate Bayou Works in Alvin hosted 10 UT Austin Engineering students at an externship event. The students were given a plant tour, presentation, lunch and heard firsthand from fellow UT alum engineers about their path with INEOS and the world of petrochemicals.
As a part of BASF's collaborative efforts with Lee College and the Women in Manufacturing student group, BASF named Esoterica Kennerson as the winner for the Women in Manufacturing Scholarship and Internship at the December end-of-year banquet. Esoterica, a Baytown-based student, began her internship in January 2018, and received a $3,500 scholarship for tuition and books at Lee College.
BASF started the Women in Manufacturing (WIM) group in 2017 at Lee College. To date, BASF has helped more than 50 Process Technician, Instrument and Analyzer Technician female students at Lee college with mentoring, internships and placement into local opportunities.
Covestro teamed up with Lee College to help inspire young women from Goose Creek CISD and Dayton ISD to pursue careers in the STEM fields. More than 40 high school juniors and seniors spent the day in one of three tracks filled with hands-on activities.
In December, the Arkema Houston site participated in the Annual Toys for Tots along with the Channelview and Cloverleaf Volunteer Fire Departments. During October, November and December, employees purchased new unwrapped toys to be distributed as Christmas gifts and send a message of hope to needy children in the North Channel area.
As part of Covestro's i3 initiative, Covestro donated $5,000 to GCCISD's STEM program to send students to summer engineering camps to inspire them to pursue careers in the field.
Employees across TPC Group became Santa's elves last holiday season by partnering with Rucker Elementary to make the season bright for some of the children in need. This year, employees purchased gifts for 30 kids from 18 families. On December 12, there was a special delivery at Rucker and employees had the opportunity to interact with the kids, and their parents, as the gifts were opened.
Dow's Houston Hub hosted its Second Annual Contractor Banquet. Companies that were invited had no recordable injuries during their onsite work for the year. Awards were presented based on their man hours, incidents for the year, SNT attendance, SNTS attendance and HASC Attendance.
Covestro employees collected 50 pairs of new shoes for GCCISD elementary schools Clark and Bowie for students that were displaced from Harvey. In addition, Covestro donated 73 pairs of shoes to the Bay Area Homeless Shelter.
After Harvey passed, Mayor Wagner started receiving calls from some of our area industries, asking what they could do to help. And that is where the idea of the COPA Fund (Spanish for cup) began. Three EHCMA members contributed to this initiative, including Chevron Phillips, BASF and Air Products. In all, 35 city employees received assistance through the COPA Fund.
Covestro's sustainability trailer made an appearance at the Gulf Coast Monarch Project's Butterfly Bonanza. We support this non-profit in its mission to revitalize habitats of butterflies & bees. Covestro is a major sponsor of the non-profit that aims to raise awareness of the disappearing habitats for butterflies and bees. The non-profit participates in educational awareness, outreach and rebuilds habitats destroyed by construction, mowing or from natural disasters such as Hurricane Harvey.
For two days in February, employees from the Bayport, Channelview and La Porte area volunteered to help paint a home built for a family with Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity partners with people and companies within the community to assist homeowners to achieve the strength, stability and independence needed through affordable housing.
John Champion was selected as Process Safety Technology Leader in the Monomers Technology Center, as a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) thanks to a distinguished record of developing safety expertise within Dow and sharing that expertise with the industry to benefit society. Champion, based with Dow in Deer Park, will be introduced as a Fellow on April 24 during the AIChE Fellows Breakfast at the Spring National Meeting in Orlando, FL.
Employees and contractors at Chevron Phillips Chemical's Baytown facility recently donated $45,000 to two local charities – Barbers Hill ISD Scholarship Association and Our Promise for West Baytown. The donation came from proceeds collected at the plant's annual golf tournament, which is funded and organized by the employees and contractors of the plant.
In December, INEOS Chocolate Bayou Works in Alvin visited with students at Hitchcock HS for Project Hope, a local STEM outreach event to get students thinking about their future. HR, maintenance techs, engineers, operators and trainers from INEOS gave presentations and educated approximately 50 students about INEOS and a career in manufacturing.
Covestro employees volunteered at the annual "Connect with Industry Career Fair" sponsored by the West Chambers County Chamber of Commerce and Barbers Hill ISD. This free community initiative started in the morning and drew more than 200 attendees as companies from the area helped them understand what kinds of jobs are out there, what kinds of criteria and skill sets industry is looking for, and an opportunity to connect with local industry representatives.
On March 10, Dow and Shell hosted a science competition with the Chemical Education Foundation. Of the 26 students who participated, six are going on to the Texas state challenge in April. A huge congratulations to the 2018 You Be the Chemist Houston Challenge Champion, Alejandro "Alex" Cantu! He and five others will compete with students from other regional competitions for a chance to attend the national event in Washington, D.C.
Covestro proudly sponsored the Texas A&M University Covestro Distinguished Lectureship to speak with graduate students about the challenges in polymer science.

Deciphering The Inexplicable Rise Of Bitcoin
March 31, 2021 By Conn Williamson
The surging string of unexplained socioeconomic phenomenon continues recruit 5-star mysteries with the officially untarnished and fervent presence of Nick Saban welcomed with open arms and a free meal to multi-cultural living rooms across the nation. As skeptics question the validity and squeaky Quaker-like cleanliness of the Alabama coach's unprecedented sustained success, doubts are abound surrounding the win at all costs nature of Tuscaloosa boosters. Just Duckduckgo "Mike Price Alabama" to immerse oneself in a cultural of traditional fanatics removing the "student" from "student" athlete in a multi-billion dollar high stakes cutthroat game of implacable prestige.
The unknows perpetuated by the digital age are the sum of the whole equating to a thrilling environment of ambiguity and confusion leading to a series of pertinent questions. "Why are hot dog buns still sold in packs of 12? How does Stalinist Kshama Sawant still get elected by her hapless constituents? Despite no major retail partnerships, how has Bitcoin exploded to 9 times its worth in a calendar year? And finally, why are "No Parking" signs in Portland, Seattle, and other major cities coddling criminals always occupied by a decrepit vehicle that may or may not include a gnarly Webber satellite dish grill.
As the University of Alabama boosters are quite possibly taking advantage of the sketchy blockchain to fund Saban's dynasty, the encryption algorithms within the NSA developed "hash" technology encourages anonymity and subversion. Unsettlingly, football is the least of the concerns of Bitcoin's most wanted list, as the DOJ has deployed a team of hacking all-stars in attempting to decipher the money laundering of the who's who of the ominous murky underbelly of espionage, the cartels, and a gaudy showing of prominent political groups foisting ascetic nationalism.
Unlike traditional currencies, the valuation of Bitcoin and its derivatives are not based on stable and classic commodities, such as rare precious medals. The cryptocurrency market is instead driven by the energy Bitcoin miners expend in deciphering an encrypted 64 string and characters and numbers called hashes in validating each transaction between users exchanging the digital money. In reaching a critical mass of accumulated hashes (three per separate transaction), a Bitcoin is deemed mined and the excavator receives a monetary award. Through the shear force of computation power, time and the subsequent electricity costs and expended in supplying energy to server farms, the currency attains its value.
If that is not complicated enough, the number of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million total units, with 18.7 million already in circulation. The pre-determined finite amount of the cryptocurrency is why the founders, and many experts believe that the Bitcoin and the surrounding dynamics, can remain stable, and continue to increase in price. However, cynics look at the absence of financial partnerships with the top of the retail food chain keystone performers Amazon, and Walmart, as a glaring red flag to an inherent crash that could likely pulverize the entire market.
While legitimate businesses have largely avoided interfacing the the blockchain, the existence of the Dark web (Tor Project), and the promise of no questions asked has attracted a swarm of ceaseless predators to the bloodbath of a feeding frenzy, and a glaring example of economic Darwinism. Masking IP addresses is the modern function of Caribbean banking ventures, or fixing the Florida lottery to launder money. Thank you, Tim Dorsey.
Instead of the average person donning a cyberwallet, rogue governments, and criminal organizations are taking advantage of the powerful technology to launder money with the only consequence of note existing as the major security issues at each terminus of the blockchain. Even with this known quantity, and the aversion of digital merchants to engage, Bitcoin has jumped from $6 thousand in 2020, to flirting with $60 thousand. The vulnerabilities in cybercurrency storage, and the lack of basic protections available to investors only adds to the intrigue of the meteoric rise.
Similar to the collective of internet gurus in peril, the cryptocurrency community put their faith in third party applications to clean up the perception of enabling the proliferation and growth of illegal activities, and tidy up the numbers. The simple answer came in the form of "cats". Feline fanatic love spans the generations, and the arduous drag of Covid-19, has forced people indoors.
In a savvy marketing move, the site Crypto Kitties was literally born, a destination directly tied into the cryptocurrency exchange, where users can purchase digital furballs to raise or breed, without having to deal with the real life atrocities of the litter box. For around .00533 of an Ethereum coin, or $9.00, an account holder can purchase a pet, and engage in a game of trading digital collectibles, complete with a separate "cat stock exchange", where strategy and guile are necessary in actually earning a profit, and achieving success. The website offers gamers advice on how to pick the optimal price point, and transforming oneself from a mere cat owner to bonified and certifiable crazy cat person, in buying, selling, and breeding felines for sale in auctions, with fractions of real money at stake. Like it or not, those playing are indirectly receiving a crash course in the plausible future of a world based on cryptocurrency.
Anime cats or investments? No one can tell the difference anymore.
The beauty in Crypto Kitties and similar applications, is that users are generating a mass amount of transactions left in the void of the Amazons of the world, and the exploding demand for related content is giving associated cryptocurrency tangible value as a result. The only requirement to participate is an obligatory age limit, and a cyberwallet.
Parent company Dapper Labs, has also unleashed NBA Top Shot to the world, and introducing a line of collectibles exclusive to the dream world of the internet. Buyers and sellers of Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFT's, files that only exist online and are uniquely verified by the blockchain, are cashing in on the initial honeymoon phase of viral craze. A video clip of a Lebron James slam dunk recently sold on the domain for $200 thousand, indicating that the antiquated collectibles market has officially risen from the ashes in finding a suitable habitat within the electronic nexus. Each individual NFT, from a cat to the Rembrandt of sports memorabilia clips is branded with a hash and locked in, giving the token value, as it cannot be replicated, and only exists in a digital form.
While the innovative spirit of cryptocurrency gaming apps is compelling, can the recent ascension of applicable infrastructure justify the shortcomings and possible liabilities of a volatile monetary unit based almost entirely on speculation? As many Bitcoin rags to millionaires student loans paid off and then some stories emanate throughout the trending news, a proportional number of cautionary tales warn off fortunes being lost instantly through cyberattacks, or from a forgotten password. This merited stigma of mistrust is only supported by a recent story of a handful of investors, who have filed a lawsuit against cryptocurrency and financial outlet, Coinbase, for an apparent breach in ethics, and the non-existence of rudimentary security or acceptable customer service. The company, which helped initialize the Bitcoin explosion and is now riding the waves of unadulterated success, is expected to go public in the next few months, and follows the tiresome policy abomination of tech firms deliberately cutting corners in budgeting for support staff, and forcing a perpetual cycle of accountability being hidden through a confusing array of sites and Matryoshka doll-like corporate entities, almost as deftly as the ingenuity of the blockchain providing a covert safe haven for villains.
Much like the reasoning of the English language, Capitalism does not always make sense, and in the case of the free market, the beauty is, it does not have to as long as fortunes are being lost and made. While the Dot.com boom was a life-changing and valuable experience for Generation X in the ceaseless rigors dictated by economic principles, the dawn of the Information Age is a utopia of riches and incessant change for young people, a fantasy that is all smiles until the market decides to make a five year correction. Thus, Bitcoin is universally hip and nearing the stratosphere with the pied piper hysteria in coaxing a population being taught that "whatever goes up, transforms into an atmospheric diamond of peace and love". Consequences or accountability have no place in this new world, unless they serve a specific agenda, a garish platitude that fits the creed of the cryptocurrency exchange like a leather glove.

I love the burgers. Very well done. Fries are awesome. Coffee could be better. This is a great food chain for dinner. It looks slightly 50's style. The grilled chickena nd grilled cheeesee is good along with the chicken wings and tenders. I wish they ha done in my hometown Brooklyn, I wonder why they don't. It would be wonderfull. I would give it 10 stars if it were possable.

Funds Increased Bullish Bets On Agricultural Commodities By The Most In More Than A Year
Posted Sep 5, 2011 in Blog & Industry News
Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) — Funds increased bullish bets on agricultural commodities by the most in more than a year on signs of tightening supplies amid adverse weather conditions.
In the week ended Aug. 30, speculators raised their net- long positions in 11 commodities by 18 percent to 915,341 futures and options contracts, government data compiled by Bloomberg show. That was the biggest gain since Aug. 3, 2010. Holdings in wheat more than tripled, bullish corn bets reached an 11-week high, and soybean positions jumped to the highest since November 2010.
Corn prices have jumped 70 percent in the past year and soybeans have gained 43 percent. The hottest July since 1955 means that U.S. production of both crops may miss government estimates, according to researcher and broker INTL FCStone Inc. The costliest drought in Texas history has hampered U.S. supplies of cotton, while dry weather in the U.S. Great Plains may curb planting of winter wheat.
"You still have some pretty explosive supply and demand situations" for U.S. crops, said James Dailey, who manages $215 million at TEAM Financial Management LLC in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. "There was a liquidation that went on because of the financial panic, and now some people are waking up and saying things are still pretty extreme in terms of the risks if there are supply disruptions."
'Exceptional' Drought
Parts of southern Kansas and western Oklahoma have had less than half of the normal rainfall this year, according to the National Weather Service, and more than 81 percent of Texas is in "exceptional" drought, U.S. Drought Monitor data show. About 54 percent of the U.S. corn crop was in good or excellent condition as of Aug. 28, the lowest for any week since September 2005, government data show.
"Mother Nature's been in a real bad mood this year, and we don't see an attitude adjustment anytime soon," Ron Lawson, a managing director at Logic Advisors, a commodity consultant in Sonoma, California, said in a telephone interview on Sept. 2. "Harvest time is going to be challenged by weather."
On Sept. 2, wheat futures for December delivery rose 14.5 cents, or 1.9 percent, to settle at $7.755 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Corn futures for December delivery climbed 21.5 cents, or 2.9 percent, to close at $7.60 a bushel in Chicago. Soybean futures for November delivery climbed 11.25 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $14.4575 a bushel on the CBOT.
18 Commodities
A broader measure showed that funds also increased their net-long positions in 18 commodities by 15 percent to 1.27 million futures and options contracts, data from U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. That's the biggest gain since July 19. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 raw materials rose 0.6 percent last week, the second straight gain.
Investors pulled $581 million from commodity funds in the week ended Aug. 31, the third straight week of outflows, following four weeks of inflows, according to EPFR Global, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based research company.
The withdrawals were "people trying to avoid getting caught in the pullback of gold prices," Cameron Brandt, EPFR's director of research, said in a telephone interview on Sept. 2. "Most of the outflows came from funds geared from gold and precious metals."
Speculators cut positions in gold by 2.9 percent to 195,372 contracts, the fourth straight drop, government data show. Holdings are at the lowest in eight weeks. Prices have fallen 2.1 percent since touching a record $1,917.90 an ounce on Aug. 23 in New York.

Perception War: Dak Prescott Loses Big Battle Against Carson Wentz
Comparisons and debates about Quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz have raged since both entered the NFL in 2016. The perception war between the two passers, fueled by the rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, saw another major battle this past Sunday. Unfortunately, Prescott took the loss in this one.
Cowboys fans have delighted in Dak's success after he went in the fourth round of the same draft in which Wentz went second overall. Despite two days and 133 players between how they entered the league, Prescott has arguably been the consistently impressive player. The Eagles' biggest wins have come when Wentz was injured.
The head-to-head matchups have favored Dak as well. Before last week, Wentz only had one meaningful win against the Cowboys so far in his career; a win in 2017 during Ezekiel Elliott's suspension.
But this last game was a doozy when it comes to perceptions. Prescott's Cowboys went into Philadelphia with a chance to clinch the NFC East, and up against an Eagles team that was missing about half of its starters from the beginning of the year.
Instead it was Carson Wentz who played the hero, overcoming his lack of weapons to help the Eagles take control of the division. Now Philly controls its own destiny with a victory this week in New York, while the Cowboys have to hope for an Eagles loss and their own win over Washington to limp into the playoffs.
But even if Dallas somehow gets back into first place in the NFC East, what happened last week won't be easily forgotten.
Perception means a lot right now for Dak Prescott. He's entering what will likely be the most important offseason of his career; unrestricted free agency following his rookie contract. For some players, this is their one big chance at securing their future.
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott
Overall Dak has put together a great season in 2019, from MVP whispers early in the year to talk of being a Pro Bowl snub in recent weeks. He's proven that he deserves to be in the conversation with Wentz and any other quarterback who's been given a long-term deal.
But last week was a big opportunity for Prescott to prove he's someone the Cowboys can rely on to win the crucial games. While neither Dallas or Philadelphia probably deserve to play in January this season, it was a playoff atmosphere this past Sunday.
Simply put, Dak came up short. Sometimes the Cowboys lose in spite of his great play, but Sunday saw several errant throws and a general lack of impact from Prescott. He was as much as a contributor in the loss as anyone.
The shoulder injury going into the game was a factor, for sure, but we've seen Dak miss those same throws throughout his career. Consistent accuracy continues to be his biggest weakness.
How you perceive Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz depends on your biases, and not just whether you root for the Cowboys or Eagles. What you like most in your quarterbacks' skill set, and whether your value team accomplishments over individual achievements, are major factors.
Unfortunately, last week's loss checked almost all of the boxes in Wentz's favor.
This war is far from over, of course. Prescott is likely to get a long-term deal from the Cowboys this offseason and will be dueling with Carson for years to come.
Hopefully, Dak Prescott wins the next battle.

Hopefully Sunday's "perception" will keep him from being signed to a massive contract. He is not the answer.
John Newlin
Have to believe Dak's injury was more of a factor than even he'll admit. Though the Boys should handle the dysfunctional Redskins, Dak not being 100% could make the game itchier.
Sorry to you Mr. . ewlin it is best to play the game all the way and the way it should be played than to observe a game on tv that shows some Cowboys players stopping in their tracks to not help out during the rest of the play when they can run to help whether closer to the or nearby on both sides of the ball.
So, remember to play the entire game you didn't become pro football players for nothing. Besides, I know that must concern Jerry Jones much more than Jason Garrett. Players standing in place not playing plays out Jerry will change that soon. Good luck Cowboys.

Do you daydream about a version of yourself that looks different than the current storyline you're living in now?
Can you feel that compelling desire for something more and unsure of how to bridge the gap between your current now and the now you desire to create?
Hi, My name is Diana, and I am your Transformation Catalyst. I'm here to tell you that these ideas and dreams you have for yourself are in fact your higher self, awakening you and calling you to your divine purpose. We all have one, and there will be a time in our lives when our soul beckons us. We are presented with a choice; a fork in the road. Do we stay where we are; safe in the comfort of what we know? Or, do we embrace the unknown and feed the hunger that grows from deep within?
Metaphorically, this is the scene from the Matrix where Morpheus presents you with the red and blue pill. Your soul is doing much the same thing here and you have a choice. You can say no, and wake up to the reality that presents itself to you every moment of every day. Or you can say yes, and see how deep and wide your story can go.
The beauty is with each moment, you are presented with a choice. You get to decide with each step, with each breath, with each thought, every feeling elicited, and with each word you speak. This is how we move in and out of vibrational frequencies that either support us walking in alignment with our highest purpose or stepping out of it. Each moment is a gift and an opportunity to say yes to our divine purpose.
As you choose to embrace the exciting unknown of your higher calling, I am here to lock arms with you. You are not alone and you do not have to navigate this by yourself.
My wife suggested that I see Diana for a massage to help with a pinched nerve that I had. I have had trouble with my lower back and have not been able to move for some time. Picking something off the floor was out of the question. I met Diana for Neuromuscular Therapy and found that she knew exactly where to work on me to get to the problem. By lunch time the following day I was back in the game. I followed up with another visit and had not had any problems for the longest time.
I think it is important for a neuromuscular therapist to be intuitively connected. Diana is that and more! Not only have I suggested my husband and friends see Diana, I too have needed her services. Her hands seem to know exactly where to go when I am in pain or out of sorts. Diana is my go to gal! She is empathetic, compassionate, intuitive and highly skilled at her trade. I trust her implicitly and would recommend her to anyone.
I have been a client of Diana's for some time now. I can unequivocally say she provided the best therapeutic massage I have ever had. So much I have made her service a part of my routine wellness plan. Her personalized communication enabled her to understand exactly where I needed work and to target the specific areas. I highly recommend Diana without reservations.
I was a reluctant first time massage client when I first met Diana. She started by healing a nagging athletic injury and has since then helped me progress towards a greater understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection that we each have, but seldom recognize. Her use of multiple modalities and empathetic nature has truly been a gift to my ongoing journey. I heartily recommend her for healing and nurturing through massage, energy work and bioSET.
I have had severe back pain and tears in my shoulder for years, but after see Diana the shoulder is almost back to normal and in full use. She has also done more for my feet than any reflexologist. I have suffered with osteoporosis for years and she is the first therapist to give me any relief. Diana has a gift of healing which few people possess. Many times she knows where I'm having issues before I remember to tell her. We are fortunate to have a therapist like Diana in our area.
A few weeks ago, I had a BioSet session with Diana. During the session, she was able to identify weaknesses within my body. At the end of the session, there was an energy infusion. I have been eating healthy for several months and had stalled in my weight loss. After the session, my weight loss was kick started again and I am excited to return and work with Diana further to bring balance into my body.
Are you ready for a free 30 minute consultation?
