Program Helps Develop Careers For Unemployed, Underemployed
Filed Under:Job Training
By Karen Morfitt
DENVER (CBS4)– For many families living in Denver, it can be tough to make ends meet. For those living in poverty, it is nearly impossible to get ahead.
Cross Purpose, a Denver nonprofit, is trying to change that.

Cross Purpose Director Cordelia Randall says they go beyond what a typical workforce agency can do.
"The goal of the program is so people can have careers," Randall said.
It is a six-month career and community development program for unemployed or underemployed adults looking to become self-sufficient.

After losing her mother suddenly to a heart attack, Garcia turned her focus on caring for her siblings and took a job that paid the bills.
"Honestly, I always thought I was just going to work several jobs at a time… that really didn't speak to me," she said.

Then she found Cross Purpose.
It starts with a closer look at an individual's strengths and interests; from there they develop the skills needed to land a high paying job, over $15 an hour in a growing profession.
"Careers that they can get training on in a short pathway under six months or no more than say six months because we know that a lot of times they don't have the funds to put into it nor do they have the time," Randall said.
When Katalina graduated in 2016, she joined the Denver Chamber of Commerce and now works for the Colorado Workforce Development Council where she's learning website development and coding.

"I actually look forward to going to work. I get to go to work," she said.
While she's focused on the future she knows, her past will always be with her and her mother will always be on her mind.
"I think she's proud, I hope she's proud, she better be proud," she said with a laugh.
The best part, the program pays individuals to stick with it and go to school. Since it started in 2012, the organization has helped more than 250 people and nearly 93 percent are still employed.
Karen Morfitt joined the CBS4 team as a reporter in 2013. She covers a variety of stories in and around the Denver metro area. Connect with her on Facebook, follow her on Twitter @karenmorfitt or email her tips.


Rather unexpectedly, my father-in-law, with whom I have been living for the past year, passed away Saturday night. Time has been sort of weird since then. We thought we had a little more time with him, but don't we always think that? Or hope that?
He was in his early 70s and had been through a lot, medically. He had a fuller life than I can encapsulate in this little post. He was a remarkable person. He worked hard and was so interested in people, especially members of his family. He appreciated a good joke, even when it was one at his expense. He taught my husband about kindness, ethics, duty, respect. And he was so generous, giving of himself.
And it's the Carrie Underwood version, which he would appreciate.

Naby Keita: Jurgen Klopp 'never doubted' Liverpool midfielder
From the section Liverpool
Naby Keita scored Liverpool's second goal in his first Premier League appearance of the season
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he never doubted midfielder Naby Keita, who returned and scored in Saturday's 3-0 win at Bournemouth.
Keita cost £52.75m from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2018, but has been restricted to only 17 Premier League starts since.
"Naby had injuries, the team is in really good shape, so then do you change?" said Klopp.
"It was just unlucky and in life you always need luck."
A muscular issue, a groin strain and a back problem have affected 24-year-old Keita at various points during his Anfield career.
His appearance on the south coast was his first Premier League start of the season and he marked it by scoring Liverpool's second goal, before setting up Mohamed Salah for the third.
"We are not flying, it's not like we won all of the games 4-0, or 5-0, so we had to bring on a player who helps us with defending set-pieces," said Klopp, whose side are eight points clear at the top of the table.
"Then Naby is sitting outside thinking, 'why don't I play?' I get all that.
"So we stayed in contact, we talked and we spoke a lot about it.
"But in the end of course a player needs to have this evidence that the manager still believes in you. I was never in doubt about that."

Q: Is there any experiment that doesn't have a finite countable number of outcomes? There are a lot of random variables in physics that are, in principle, continuous and unbounded (canonical examples: time, position along each direction). In practice, it is my understanding that the number of outcomes of every possible experiment will be a finite integer. That is, the data is always binned, even if only implicitly, at some minimum scale and finite in scope.
Reading the length of something off of a ruler, for example, will always produce a number that is rounded to some nearest rational number, whether that number is a line on the ruler or interpolated from the scale by eye. It will also always only produces either a finite length answer or a lower limit, assuming the experiment has to be carried out in finite time (i.e. using a single ruler you can only translate it a finite number of times to measure something longer than it).
In principle, though, the length of something being measured by a ruler can assume a continuum of values, but this question isn't about the theoretical principle, it's about experiments that are realizable in finite time using finite resources. Is there any example of a real experiment that has an actual infinite number of outcomes in any way? If not, is there a good reason to think that we will never be able to produce such an experiment/measurement?

A: Even if we manage to construct such an experiment, we would not be able to write down the outcome.
To write down our outcome, we would need to encode it as a string.  This string would be of finite length, taken from an alphabet of a finite number of symbols (i.e. A-Z).  Such a string can describe a countably infinite number of possible outcomes.  So right away, we can discount the possibility of experiments whose results come from an uncountably infinite set of possibilities.
Practically speaking, however, all real mediums of communication require the size of the string to be bounded.  If you have 40 pages in a journal article to describe your results, you only have 120000 characters to capture your result (assuming roughly 3000 characters per page).  This can only describe $26^{120000}$ possible outcomes, assuming the alphabet from A-Z.  If there are 3 trillion trees on earth, and 20,000 pages can get produced from each tree, and you permit all of unicode ($2^{16}$ characters) rather than just A-Z, and you use all of them up for your paper you can get $2^{960,000,000,000,000,000}$ possible outcomes, which is gargantuan, but still a far cry from infinity.
It can be shown that you can develop a string to encode any real number, while still being able to do all integer arithmetic without violating any rules.  However, you can't encode every real number at the same time with this trick.  You have to pick the real number, and then build the system around it.  In science, constructing your measurement scheme around the result after the result is acquired is considered to be poor form.
Accordingly, all physically realizable experiments map any countably infinite values into a finite space, if for no other reason than to provide a way to actually write the results down.  There are, of course, plenty of other reasons to do this mapping, but this particular one is the easiest to argue from a information theory perspective.

A: All practical physical measurements have a precision associated with them (this is distinct form uncertainty or accuracy). Like the rounding error on your ruler; this limits the number of outcomes to the
$$\frac{\text{Measureable range}}{\text{Precision}} \, .$$
Additionally it is not possible to actually measure an infinite range of results. That's because there is no practical means by which a truely infinte magnitude could be recorded. (Not enough atoms in the universe.)
Consequently we can be sure that we do not have the means to make measurements that are able to return an infinite number of outcomes.

A new version of the company's 36-mm G4 linear actuator includes a special Size 14 adapter plate that allows the smaller 36-mm OD unit to replace existing Size 14 hybrid stepper-motor linear actuators.
The new unit lets users replace existing hybrid units easily by using the same bolt pattern and pilot surface. Force output range is 70 to 260 N (16 to 58 lb).
The unit's optimized teeth geometry along with high-energy neodymium magnets results in a higher continuous force output. With a 20% higher output force, the G4 contains the latest custom-engineered plastics and larger bearings for greater rotor support and higher axial load capability.


San Francisco, CA - Mirus Gallery is pleased to announce our upcoming solo exhibition JUST ONE MOMENT by Hueman, featuring over 15 new paintings on canvas and wood. Distinct in her use of bold color and free flowing texture, Hueman compares and contrasts conflicting ideologies to create masterful works that are at once balanced and unsettling. Her latest work featured in this exhibition is a look into a singular moment in time, spliced, dissected, and manipulated through intersecting lines and planes; juxtaposing images that are simultaneously beautiful and grotesque, abstract and figurative, geometric and organic.
The physicality of a moment becomes especially integral to this solo exhibition, drawing in the viewer to absorb ethereal scenes, suspending a moment and causing emotions to linger and simmer. As if viewing through a prism, the scenes and faces in JUST ONE MOMENT are fragmented, bending and distorting light, color, and reality. The subjectivity of a moment stretched to infinity allows each piece to offer a different perspective of the same instance in time. Nothing is as black and white as we are led to believe, and Hueman's work exists in these ethereal grey zones, confronting the complex dichotomies and emotions that are inherent in how we perceive ourselves and our positions in the world.
Hueman's work can be seen on walls and in galleries worldwide. Her art has caught the attention of media outlets and publications such as CNN, the History Channel, Complex, Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Graffiti Art Magazine, and she's graced the cover of LA Weekly's 2014 People Issue. Her new solo with Mirus Gallery is her first in the Bay Area since moving back after success in LA.

5 Uplifting Books to Help You Feel A Bit Better About Everything
Jeffrey Davies Jul 27, 2019
As much as each generation likes to think that they are living in more "uncertain times" than the last, the very concept of uncertain times has been around for centuries. But just because living in uncertainty has been around longer than we have doesn't mean we talk about it enough! Being a human is hard, and reading a comforting book is always good. Sometimes fiction just doesn't cut it—which is why picking up a humorous and uplifting memoir or collection of essays is also a good way at keeping the anxiety at bay and helping us feel a bit better about everything.
i Miss you when I Blink by Mary Laura Philpott
Published earlier this spring, Mary Laura Philpott's heartwarming book of essays covers everything from anxiety, becoming an adult, existential angst, the ups and downs of married life, and the realization that sometimes following all of the rules laid out in your head gets you to the exact opposite of where you want to be. The perfect read for every detoxing perfectionist.
Nobody Cares by Anne T. Donahue
A candid, funny, real, and relevant collection of essays about the messiness of being alive in your twenties and thirties: school, jobs, mental health, productivity, and failure, to name only a few topics. These essays are a salute to the "beautiful disasters" we can all be at times. Anne T. Donahue is the voice inside your head, if that voice was incredibly witty, funny, and profound (a.k.a. the inner voice we should all aspire to have). The title of the book is a great reminder of something that we all often forget: nobody really cares what we are doing, whether we look good or bad, whether we go to this party or that, which can be a really freeing realization—especially when you've spent most of your life trying to convince people that you are a capable and functioning human being. Above all, Nobody Cares feels like a warm hug from someone who's been there and is here to tell you it's going to be fine.
We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby
The perfect read for introverts who are just so damn tired of defending themselves from being called anti-social, Samantha Irby's We Are Never Meeting in Real Life is an expression of thoughts and feelings most of us introverts have said in our heads from time to time, but rarely out loud. Irby covers everything from her rough upbringing, to dating and relationships, to her general dislike of the general population (relatable) and, to quote the back cover, "sometimes you just have to laugh, even when your life is a dumpster fire" (agreed).
The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish
During periods of high anxiety, I like to read memoirs because it feels as though someone you love and admire is telling you a series of stories, and I find that very calming and comforting. I read Tiffany Haddish's The Last Black Unicorn while in the process of changing jobs a few months ago, and the comedian's hilarious stories of her difficult but colorful life was so funny that not only could I not put it down, but it also helpfully distracted me from whatever I was worried about.
Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame by Mara Wilson
A memoir in essays written by the former child actress whom '90s kids will best remember from Mrs. Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street, and Matilda, Mara Wilson takes readers on a journey into her life while she was in the spotlight, and what she's been up to since her decision to retire from acting as a preteen. But Where Am I Now? is more than that; it's a story of a young girl who always felt out of place as a child on a movie set full of adults, the realities faced by most child stars when they aren't cute anymore, and a lifetime spent not feeling worthy of being compared to everyone's favorite fictional genius girl. It's a raw and eye-opening look at not only life beyond Hollywood, but a human being trying to finally feel like enough.


I recently rewatched Reality Bites for the first time in many years and WOW do I have very different feelings about it now. Since today is the 25th anniversary of its release, let's feel old and take a walk down movie memory lane together.
Let me get right to the point: I recently went on a deep dive into the majestic cover art of Bob Seger albums and I need to share some with you.
This year has really zipped by, but before it goes away completely, I like taking time to reflect on all the good things. Much like 2017, 2018 has also been a real mixed bag politically, culturally, and environmentally. It's easy to get stuck on the sad stuff (especially in these doldrums of winter), but it helps to focus on all the awesome experiences I had and the things I'm proud of.
Today marks twelve years since I bounced off a giant car and crashed onto the sidewalk, aka, my Alive Day. Every year when this anniversary comes around, I think, "is it silly to keep blogging about it and telling everyone about it?" Well I guess it's not, because here we are. I can't help feeling grateful to be alive every October 20th.
With Brett Kavanaugh likely on his way to a confirmation for the Supreme Court today, you may be having a more angry Saturday than usual. I'm not good at talking politics, but I do know this country needs to get better at listening to women and believing them.
I've been having a busy summer, and I'd say that's why I haven't posted in awhile, but really it's half-busyness, half-laziness. I'm also putting a lot of blame on the summer's Mars and Mercury retrogrades. Astrology is convenient like that. Anyway, here's some stuff I've been doing!
If I've learned one thing from using Slack as the main form of communication in my workplace, it's that I'm bad at acronyms. And also that I hate acronyms.
I realize I'm posting about St. Patrick's Day a little too late, depending which time zone you're reading this in. Even if you're on the east coast, like I am, you might have already committed hard to St. Paddy and started drinking at 11am, which means you'll be taking a nap soon. But if you're a nerd like me who's not going out, and/or you still need evening plans, let me suggest a different type of commitment. Specifically: THE Commitments.

Q: Is it better to use a for-each loop in a function, or a while loop and a "found" variable?

I'm taking an online intro-to-Java course. In the lesson on ArrayLists, there's an exercise in which we're given an ArrayList of Picture objects, and asked to call draw() on the first Picture that's in portrait orientation. We're given some code to start with:
// BlueJ project: lesson7/gallery8
// Find and draw the first portrait in the gallery.
// Notice the pseudocode from the instructions has been started for you; your task is to complete it.

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class ListOfPictures
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        ArrayList<Picture> gallery = new ArrayList<Picture>();
        gallery.add(new Picture("degas1.jpg"));
        gallery.add(new Picture("gaugin1.jpg"));
        gallery.add(new Picture("monet1.jpg"));
        gallery.add(new Picture("monet2.jpg"));
        gallery.add(new Picture("renoir1.jpg"));

        int i = 0;
        boolean found = false;
        while ()
        {
        }

        if (found)
        {
            ....draw();
        }
    }
}

It seemed pretty clear to me what they expected us to do. Still, I thought it would be better to make a function and return from a for-each loop, rather than using a found and a counter variable. This is what I came up with:
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // declare/initialize/populate gallery
        Picture firstPortrait = findFirstPortrait(gallery);
        if (firstPortrait != null)
            firstPortrait.draw();
    }

    private Picture findFirstPortrait(ArrayList<Picture> gallery)
    {
        for (Picture pic : gallery)
            if (pic.getHeight() > pic.getWidth())  // pic is in portrait
                return pic;
        return null;  // there aren't any images in portrait
    }

They seemed to really dislike it, though. When I submitted my code, I got this back:
ListOfPictures.java: Keep looking for matches while found is false

Score
0

Which is the better way of doing this? In general, should I avoid using "flag" variables like that?
EDIT: Yes, it is automatically graded. I've actually gotten an error on other exercises saying that the grader didn't know how to deal with my code and that I should post it on the forum (which looks suspiciously like Stack Overflow, only that no one seems to know how to use it).
I will be linking to this question on the forum. :)

A: You're asking for an opinion, of course. Both ways, if implemented correctly, will produce identical output.
That said, your way is:

*

*cleaner

*clearer

*more reusable

*and avoids unnecessary variable use.

Whoever graded your question either doesn't know much Java or is being unnecessarily pedantic or harsh.

A: Claasic example of teacher wanting student to know difference between when to use for loop and when to use while loop.  Use while loop when you don't know how many ierations it will take to find what you're looking for.  Use 'for' loop when you know the exact number of iterations

A: Use the for-each-return pattern. In this case, the flag is an unnecessary state variable that would easily lead to code rot in a more complicated program.
Your way is better, if that's what you're asking.

A: My programming prof would have preferred the ẁhile solution. He said that every exit of a method or loop (loop condition, break, return, continue) makes it more difficult to trace an error or to prove a property of a method.
In my opinion, this is a personal decision. There are good reasons for both options.

A: For each is generally geared towards operating on EVERY item in the arraylist. With the found flag, you are basically stopping at the first instance when it is found.


WhEEEEEEEEEE!! UV testing is complete.
After a rather tedious evening of work I finally got the UV's mapped out for Simon's head. The coloring is just temporary until I finish the rest of the model so I can map all of the UV's at once. Aside from that, the shapes of the facial features seem to match Simon's pretty well...but I'm open to suggestions.

Attacking NASA over its missions, Trump claims Moon is 'a part' of Mars
PTI, Jun 8, 2019, 10:52 AM IST
Washington: US President Donald Trump tweeted on Friday that NASA should stop talking about going back to the Moon, which caused confusion since his administration aims to restart Moon landings by 2024.
"For all the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon – We did that 50 years ago," Trump tweeted from Air Force One while returning from a visit to Europe. "They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!" Trump said.
The US president's declaration shocked many space enthusiasts, because the moon has not traditionally been regarded as part of Mars.
Trump's exact meaning was uncertain, but he may have been urging the US space agency to put more of a focus on the voyage to Mars, with the Moon serving as just a stepping stone.
Vice President Mike Pence announced plans in April to return to the Moon by 2024 although some space experts doubt whether the deadline can be met.
On its website, NASA, which made six manned Apollo missions to the Moon between 1969 and 1972, says that "exploration of the Moon and Mars is intertwined."
"The Moon provides an opportunity to test new tools, instruments and equipment that could be used on Mars, including human habitats, life support systems, and technologies and practices that could help us build self-sustaining outposts away from Earth," it says.
Speaking in April, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said "this time, when we go to the Moon, we're actually going to stay.
"We're not going to leave flags and footprints and then come home to not go back for another 50 years," he said.
Trump rarely tweets about space or NASA, leaving the agency in the hands of Pence and focusing more on its military aspects such as the creation of a "space force."
One of his last tweets on the subject was on May 13 when he said "Under my Administration, we are restoring @NASA to greatness and we are going back to the Moon, then Mars.
"I am updating my budget to include an additional USD1.6 billion so that we can return to Space in a BIG WAY!" he said.

After making Mr. Polka Dot Pillow for my nephew and cleaning up my sewing room from the mess, my sewing machine has been pretty well neglected. The past week or more has been consumed by my other "to-do" list. The one with items that I'll get to but rarely do because I push them off for more fun things like quilting or sewing. Unfortunately, I reached the point on several items where I just didn't have a choice to push them off anymore, so I surrendered.
Clean vacuum filter every 3 months. Oops!
The vacuum cleaner kept turning off on me. Before I took the time to have it looked at, I figured I read the manual. Yeah, that booklet that comes with every appliance you buy that usually gets tossed in a drawer. I know how to operate a vacuum. Why do I need to read it? Turns out the vacuum cleaner needs to be cleaned beyond just emptying the canister, duh! I had no idea the vacuum could be dissected into so many parts. Parts that need to be cleaned. I would have known that if I...um...read the manual. So I spent the time to properly clean that sucker and replaced any filters. Wowza!! Once I started it up again, that vacuum was like new! I forgot how much I loved it when I bought it. And that was all it took to jump start my cleaning spree for the next couple days.
My all-or-nothing personality was in full force after that. I tore apart and cleaned the dust buster. I cleaned the oven. I cleaned floors, sinks, nooks and crannies I haven't paid much attention to in my normal cleaning routine. How often do you clean your washing machine filter? Goodness, I like a clean and tidy house, but I was feeling foolish that I neglected some of these tasks for so long.
I didn't even notice this little guy on the front of my washer until my husband pointed it out.
Back to the "Must-Do" list, my car could no longer go without an oil change, tires rotated and a cleaning, so there went two hours of my life waiting for that to be done.
My son's soccer jersey wasn't clean so that sparked me to wash every single item in the house. Moderation or a schedule might do me some good. A day spent there washing, folding and putting away.
Then, in the middle of a design project, the warning from my computer that I have been ignoring reared its ugly head. Go away. I have work to do and I don't want to spend hours purging and backing up files. But, that is what I had to do. A good day spent without a computer and continuously checking on the oh-so-slow status bar from transferring files. However, I am glad that I finally took the time to back things up. I would feel horrible if I ever lost any of my precious family photos.
And, now that I feel like I can take a break from cleaning, I've come down with a cold and very sore throat and my overall motivation is gone. Watching TV and relaxing became the priority. Reality TV overload. I hope for the sake of my husband, I get better soon because I am the WORST sick person.
I will again surrender as hard as it may be. When I'm feeling better, I'm sure my go-go-go, do-do-do personality will yield some pretty fun projects.
People often forget that they have to clean their computer just as they would their homes. It's a hassle but it needs to be done.
I love that this post is about cleaning..

Valencia wrestler America Lopez making waves as a freshman
Ryan Posner
Valencia's America Lopez poses for a picture at Peterson Grapplers in Valencia on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2018. She is a freshman in the 170-pound division. Nikolas Samuels/The Signal
Valencia freshman America Lopez has already become somewhat of a viral sensation in the California wrestling community.
Participating in her first tournament in a boys division — the Thousand Oaks JV Tournament in early December — Lopez was being knocked around the mat by a Bishop Alemany wrestler.
"Even to this day, just talking about it, it gives me chills because I was so close to pulling her out," said her father Doroteo Lopez.
During the final period, though, something changed. It was America who was tossing around her Alemany opponent. Eventually, she pinned him, capping off a 4-0 day to win the tournament's 170-pound boys division.
Lopez, in a state of shock, jumped around the mat until finding the waiting arms of her mother, Naomi Sanchez, to jump into.
The moment was captured on video and posted to the Valencia wrestling Facebook page, where it has over 9,300 views.
It was just like a movie ending!!! Awesome work America Lopez!!! 4-0!!!

"It was crazy how much attention that got," America said. "I didn't even realize I had even won the match until ended and they raised my arm up.
" … When I got off the mat, I realized the whole crowd had been watching my match. It was a pretty amazing feeling."
To those who know America best, including her brother Nicholas, a senior on Valencia's wrestling team, this kind of performance was just a matter of time.
America already had four state titles to her name before entering high school. She won the freestyle and folkstyle titles in the 175-pound division at the California USA Wrestling Championships in seventh and eighth grade.
Winning a CIF State title this season certainly isn't a foregone conclusion. But the freshman phenom has already won two of the three girls varsity tournaments she's participated in this year. She took home titles in the 170-pound division at the Lady Rebel Rumble in late December and the BlackWatch Tournament later that month.
"I want to make wrestling more popular, especially for girls," Lopez said. "It's great hearing that people believe in me and think a state title is possible. I want younger girls to be able to look up to me."
America got her start in wrestling as an 11-year-old after watching countless sessions between her five older brothers, first at Big John McCarthy's Ultimate Training Academy and now at Peterson's Grapplers — where she works with the owner and Valencia coach, Brian Peterson. Her brother, Andrew, currently wrestles for East Los Angeles College.
"Every day I'd go and watch and (Peterson) would try and get me to join," America said. "One day, I just decided I'd give it a shot and I fell in love."

Part of America's apprehension had to do with the lack of girls wrestlers in the area. At first, she'd be lucky to find two or three girls wrestlers in tournaments. Now, she's wrestling in tournaments with 20 girls in her weight division alone.
"I was kind of nervous because I thought I'd be wrestling guys all the time," Lopez said. "But in the end that didn't really matter to me. I wrestled my brothers all the time. I wanted to try and start something."
Though tentative at first about the idea, America relishes the chance to wrestle with boys. She hopes to participate in a boys division once again before the girls postseason begins.
"It's really important for me to get those opportunities," America said. "A lot of times the guys will just write me off and say, 'She's just a girl.' It's helped build my confidence when I wrestle against girls, too."
While hopeful for the chance to again wrestle the boys, she knows it'll have its drawbacks.
"My dad's a little iffy about it, especially after how physical the first tournament was," America said. "But I want to do it."
The CIF-Southern Section Girls Masters will be held Feb. 9-10 at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Corona, with the CIF State wrestling championships to follow Feb. 23-24 in Visalia.
She'll has plenty of time to bring home Valencia's first state title, though the wait might not be very long.
"She's right there," Doroteo said. "She's ranked second right now in her weight class and everyone I've talked to around the tournaments truly believe she has a chance to bring it home. It's been incredible to see how fast all this has happened."

/27/2018The Securities and Exchange Commission rejected a request from Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss to run a bitcoin-related exchange traded fund. In a …. The Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust may be inching closer to becoming the first bitcoin ETF listed on a major stock exchange, but that potentially historic date could be further off than some might think.
What Are The Chances Of A Bitcoin ETF Approval This Year?
A new NYSE-traded Bitcoin ETF is about to give the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust a run for its money. It's called the SolidX Bitcoin Trust and its S–1 was filed with the SEC today. The most interesting contrast between the two proposed funds is what happens if their bitcoins are lost or stolen.
This March 11, 2017, the SEC will decide whether to approve the creation of the Winklevoss ETF Bitcoin, or to call it by its technical name, the Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF Trust. Awaiting this decision, the price of Bitcoin has even come to exceed that of gold, reaching over $ 1,200 in these days.

The Best and Worst of the Summer 2016 Season
by Daniel DeLorme, Oct 4th 2016
Our team of reviewers are following 30 anime series of the Summer 2016 season and readers are rating each episode as the reviews go up. So let's have a look at what ANN readers consider the best (and worst) of the season.
Keep in mind that these rankings are based on how people rated individual episodes of the current season, not on the overall quality or popularity of the series. Only the titles popular enough to be reviewed are being ranked, so the bottom of the list might represent 'watchable' rather than 'bad'. See the notes for further details.
The week of Sep 23-30 is a special 8-day week (with two Fridays) to close off this 92-day season. And there were four shows with an episode on each of the two Fridays: Alderamin on the Sky, 91 Days, Thunderbolt Fantasy, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable.
For the last week we're doing a little something different
With the week of September 23-30, the Summer 2016 season is now over. But many of the series already ended the previous week, so we're adding an extra "final" week where all the last episodes are ranked against each other. With this we can see which series ended on a strong note and which ones ended more weakly. That means the "final ep." column is a repeat of the last episode from Sep 16-22 or Sep 23-30. And the "prev week change" is the difference in position between the "final ep." column and the penultimate episode.
Episode Rankings for the final episodes
Along the actual ranking for this week's episodes, this graph chronicles the change in position from week to week. While some series are stable, others swing wildly in the rankings depending on the strength of each episode. When a series has no episode for a given week, the previous week's episode is used instead as a placeholder. The first episode of each series is considered as part of the first week, even if it really aired during the second week. Click on the numbers to highlight a particular series.

Series Cumulative Ranking for Summer 2016
Each week's ranking takes into account the scores given to previous weeks' episodes. Click on the numbers to highlight a particular series. With the last episode duplicated in the "final ep." column, it means that the votes for the last episode of each series are counted twice, which intentionally gives a boost to series that ended strongly. This somewhat compensates for the fact that the first episode of each series has more votes, which favors series that started strongly.
So this is it, the final ranking, the winners and losers of the Summer 2016 season.
1 #3. Sweetness & Lightning
— #4. 91 Days
— #5. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable
3 #6. planetarian
— #7. D.Gray-man Hallow
1 #12. Thunderbolt Fantasy
— #13. Danganronpa 3: Future Arc
1 #15. Alderamin on the Sky
3 #16. Amanchu!
4 #18. Naruto Shippūden
1 #22. The Morose Mononokean
— #24. One Piece
— #27. DAYS
— #29. Berserk
Disclaimer: the rankings are just an average of opinions, published for entertainment and information purposes. ANN makes no claims regarding statistical significance.
It's entirely normal to disagree with the rankings; you should not expect your tastes in anime to match the average expressed by the rankings. Also, the rankings indicate relative quality (A is preferred to B), not absolute quality (B is good/bad). So while the titles are ranked from 'best' to 'worst', that doesn't necessarily mean the best title is 'great' or the worst title is 'awful'.
The rankings are computed using the Schulze method, with the variation that unrated titles are considered as abstentions instead of lower than the rated titles. This roughly means that if, out of all people who rated both A and B, 60% preferred A, it will be ranked higher than B.
If a series has no episode for a given week, we use the rating data for the previous week's episode in order to compute the weekly ranking. This is not officially counted as a position in the ranking, but it makes it easier to compare weeks if they each have the same number of series in the ranking.
It should be noted that long-running series (and sequels) have an advantage in the sense that only people who like the series are still watching it, and they are likely to give each episode a high rating. But if such a series is going through a low-quality filler arc, the season will get low rankings that are not indicative of the true overall quality of the series.

Whataboutism as State Policy
Portrait of Omar Kipar, a Nogai man, circa 1900. Courtesy of Wikipedia and the Russian Museum of Ethnography
Sergey Abashin
The Russian authorities do not like remembering and commemorating events that darken and cast doubt on the beatific picture of the country's past, meaning conquests, mass murders, deportations, and so on. Not only the authorities but also many people who consider themselves intellectuals, thoughtful and knowledgeable people, avert their eyes and turn up their nose when they are reminded of such events. Why stir up problems? they say.
Another argument is that "there" (which usually means "the west") things were much worse or no better at any rate. That is right, both the fact that memory has often been used to fuel conflict and political rivalry, and that things were no better "there." But does this mean we should forget history, forget its difficult and controversial chapters, engage in censorship or self-censorship? Would that really help us solve our current problems in the here and now? Would such a simple trick help us feel that we and our history are "righter" than other countries and their histories?
On October 1, 1783, Suvorov defeated rebellious Nogai troops who had refused to abide by the decision to resettle them and their families from the Black Sea region to the Urals. Many of the Nogais who were not killed in battle or hunted down and killed were forced to scatter across the steppes and mountains, to escape to the Ottoman Empire. Thus, one of the most powerful nomadic powers to exist in what is now Russia perished.
Sergey Abashin is British Petroleum Professor of Migration Studies at the European University in Saint Petersburg. His most recent book is Sovetskii kishlak: Mezhdu kolonializmom i modernizatsiei [The Soviet Central Asian village: between colonialism and modernization], Moscow: Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie, 2015.

Paul Love and I often talk about passion and how to make dreams turn into reality. I personally believe that compelling personalities have a willingness to throw themselves into that said passion with their whole heart. It matters less what the passion is, and it matters more to simply have one and own it... and when you go full immersion, that's when the magic happens.
In Paul's case, he is an avid sports fisherman. The man literally lives and breathes the sport in a way that networks like-minded individuals via shared stories, insights & perspectives, reflecting mutual respect for one another. Through Local Water, Paul aims "to expose our sport in the truest form of passion possible" through the eyes of anyone who shares the same passion for fishing.
We met for a set of portraits in San Francisco's Pacific Heights on a cloudy day and came up with some great shots that reflect Paul's goals for Local Water. And because we're friends who laugh a lot while catching up, I also took some just-for-fun photos, even testing out a new prism with my lens on a rooftop. :) Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Heinrich Hertz (auch H2Sat) ist der Name eines geplanten deutschen Kommunikationssatelliten, finanziert vom Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) und gebaut durch OHB Systems.

Mit der Heinrich-Hertz-Mission sollen in Zusammenarbeit mit Hochschulen, Wissenschaftsinstituten und der Industrie neuartige Kommunikationstechnologien untersucht werden. Ein weiteres Ziel ist der Kompetenzaufbau im Bereich militärischer Satellitenkommunikation in Deutschland. Benannt ist die Mission nach dem deutschen Physiker Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894).

Planung
Im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Technologie prüfte der Bremer Satellitenbauer OHB System AG in einer Vorstudie (Phase 0) die Machbarkeit des Projekts. Die Machbarkeitsuntersuchung (Phase A) wurde 2010 abgeschlossen. Gesamtverantwortlich war OHB-System mit dem Partner EADS Astrium. Auch die Satellitenbusverantwortung lag bei OHB System. Die Verantwortung für die Nutzlast lag bei Tesat-Spacecom. Von 2011 bis 2013 wurde die Planungsphase B durchgeführt. Am 28. Juni 2017 wurde der Vertrag für die Projektphasen C und D+Start geschlossen. Der Start des Satelliten war ursprünglich schon für das Jahr 2015 geplant und ist nach mehreren Iterationen aktuell für 2023 anvisiert, das Budget beträgt 310,5 Millionen Euro für Bau und Start zuzüglich Entwicklungskosten von 11 Millionen Euro aus der Planungsphase B und einer noch nicht bekannten Summe für 15 Jahre Betrieb.

Geplante Nutzlasten
Aus etwa 30 Entwicklungen werden Nutzlasten. Hier eine Auswahl an möglichen Technologien:
 LISA: Intersatelliten-Antenne im Ka-Band mit elektronischer Schwenkung
 MEDUSA: Mehrpunkt-Antenne im Ka-Band zur Reduzierung der Komplexität
 VERSA: Verteilnetzwerk zur Reduzierung der Komplexität mit syntaktischem Metallschaum als Trägermaterial
 KERAMIS: Keramische Mikrowellenschaltkreise auf Basis der LTCC-Mehrlagentechnologie
 LIQUIDA: Flüssigkristall-gesteuerte Phasenschieber
 TWTA: Mini-Verstärkerröhre (Ka-Band)
 MPM: V6- zur Realisierung von bis zu 500 W HF-Leistung
 FDOC: Linearisierter Ku-Band-Röhrenverstärker
 FOBP: Fraunhofer On-Board-Prozessor, ein vollständig im Orbit rekonfigurierbarer Prozessor
 NEXT: Mehrere neue Fehlerkorrekturverfahren (Netzwerk-Codierung, Mehrteilnehmer-Detektion, )
 GeReLEO-SMART: Geostationäre Relaisstation für Ka-Band-Kommunikation mit LEO-Satelliten
 HSB: Hybrid Sensor Bus, Kombination aus elektrischem und faseroptischem Sensorsystem

Auch am Boden sollen neue Technologien erprobt werden, so etwa:
 SANTANA: Ka-Band-Terminal mit digitaler Strahlformung ()
 MoSaKa: Mobile Satellitenkommunikation (Ka-Band) für Nutzung im Katastrophenfall

Here's a guide to growing fruit, month-by-month.
Plant raspberries, which will be in plentiful supply at your local garden centre. If you have the space, choose a couple of varieties to provide a longer cropping season – autumn raspberries can carry on producing as late as November in warm winters. When planting raspberries, don't forget they're perennial, and this is your best chance to improve the soil. Add plenty of good compost or rotted manure to the bed, then erect stakes to support your plants. Plant the raspberries shallowly, spreading the roots and just covering with a layer of topsoil and mulch. Established autumn varieties of raspberry can now be pruned – cut them hard to the ground. It seems harsh but will reward you in the following season.
Now's the perfect time to plant your fruit trees. Expect to receive any that you have ordered, and try to plant them as soon as they arrive – trees are usually delivered with bare roots. To plant, choose a dry day if possible. Dig a hole that's at least twice as big as the spread of your tree's roots. Line it with grit to help improve drainage, and compost or rotted manure to give the tree plenty of nutrients. Fill it in, firming it gently, and then cover the top with a deep layer of mulch to conserve moisture. Finally water the trees generously to help their roots settle in. February is also the last month that you can prune fruit trees (except cherry and plum, which shouldn't be pruned in the winter months at all).
Time to look at your currant bushes: any established shrubs should be pruned gently this month. Prune gooseberry bushes, reducing the length of sideshoots (aim for about three buds per branch) and then feed them ready for spring growth. Look at your blueberry bushes too – pruning isn't essential but if there is a lot of old wood at the centre and bottom of the bush, you can cut up to a quarter of it. Once you've done the pruning, give all of your fruit trees and bushes a feed. Use sulphate of potash and hoe it into the topsoil.
We're at the starting block now – green shoots are promising handfuls of summer fruits! So it's time to begin a good feeding system, with high-nitrogen fertiliser for limes and lemons, blackcurrants and blackberries, magnesium-based fertiliser for grape vines, and potassium feed (tomato feed) for the strawberry plants. A good way to remember each plant's needs is to laminate a cardboard label onto which you've written pruning and feeding times and types. Attach it to the shrub or tree with garden twine. You can also cover your strawberries with cloche or fleece to encourage them to fruit a little earlier.
Everything is beginning to grow, which means you need to keep a careful watch. Over-zealous apples and pears can be lightly pruned to ensure they concentrate on fruiting. You can also prune plum and cherry trees, and later in the month remove protective coverings from nectarine and peach trees. Watch out for raspberry and strawberry runners – if these plants start making new seedlings between rows, there will be too much competition for light and water, so remove them straight away. If you'd like some extra strawberry plants, leave a few runners in the ground – pin them gently and let them take root.
In summer, fruit trees and shrubs quickly become thirsty – you'll need to water once a week if there's no rain. Help them to retain water by mulching, or by pushing a tube or empty bottle into the soil, enabling you to send water directly to the roots. When pears, apples and gooseberries appear, you might want to thin them by picking some unripe fruits. This helps the remaining fruit to reach a good size, and you can usually cook the unripe pieces.
It's time to start enjoying all your hard work! This month you will be harvesting raspberries and strawberries, currants and cherries. Prepare your freezer to receive the glut by emptying it as much as you can; to freeze berries, arrange them on a tray so they don't touch and put straight in the freezer. After a couple of hours, remove the tray and bag up the berries – this way they keep their shape. This month you can also help to ensure a healthy harvest by thinning apples and pruning gooseberry branches to a point just after the last cluster of berries.
In the midst of your fruit feast, don't forget to spare a thought for next year! It's time to pot up your strawberry runners, which is a free way to get more plants. Without cutting the runner from the main plant, lift it and insert its roots into a small pot of compost. Watch for roots to appear beneath the pot – in a short while you will be able to sever the runner. When your summer raspberries have finished fruiting, cut back the old canes, leaving the young canes (which didn't bear fruit) for next year.
Put your strawberry runners into a cold frame and keep them well watered, allowing them to settle in for the winter. And whether you have your own bushes or not, it's time to go blackberry picking! This hedgerow crop is a delicious partner for your home-grown apples and pears, and it's free, so grab the kids and take a blackberry field trip.
Now that many shrubs have finished their work, you can take cuttings or propagate for a bigger harvest next year. You can take hardwood cuttings of gooseberries and other currants. Lift rhubarb crowns and divide them vertically using a clean spade and a swift cutting movement; replant immediately.
If you're lucky enough to have a surplus of apples or pears, you can store them: wrap apples in newspaper and space them out in wooden crates, to store somewhere cool (a garage is ideal). Pears store best unwrapped but layered in wooden crates with plenty of space between them for ventilation.
The dormant season is here, which means you can now prune your fruit trees and bushes. Apples and pears should be pruned to achieve a 'goblet' shape, which allows maximum light to reach the branches. Start by removing any branches that look diseased or dead, then look at the overall structure, taking out about a third of the previous summer's growth.


Crate & Barrel Queen Bed Stylist Notes: Modern bed frame for a wonderful price! Mattress optional. Frame seems to be in great condition, definitely inspect before purchasing.
Set of Blue Floral Print Chairs Stylist Notes: Great price and seem to be in great condition. Use in living room, family room, bedroom, guest rooms, office. Could also be used as head chairs in a dining room :) Would work well in Traditional, Transitional, Eclectic or Vintage styles.
Italian made Brass & Leather Accent Chairs. Stylist Notes: This is actually a very good price for these really expensive chairs. You can still try to bargain though (wouldn't hurt).

DPR's roofers in Leeds revealed their must-have tools when working on the roofs of businesses and homes throughout West Yorkshire.
The conversations revealed that although different projects require specific roofing tools, the majority of our roofers unanimously agreed that these are the ones that go to every job and up every roof – no matter the project.
A good clean up at various intervals is an important part of every job. While a dustpan is also good to have handy, a hand brush on its own is just right for the little stuff.
Fixing and removing rotted wood is a pretty common task for roofers, and while most agreed they'd prefer to use a circular or reciprocating saw for most jobs, they still carried their hand saw everywhere with them.
The reason being, a small, unexpected cutting job can be handled in less time than it takes to run an extension cord from a power supply to a third storey roof – not to mention the amount of times when electrical power should be available, but isn't.
Attached to every roofer's utility belt you'll find a tape measure of some description. Each roofer has their favorite brand, but most offer a 25-foot measuring capability, sometimes more.
Usually not too far from an accompanying bucket will be a roofer's trowel. Just about any small trowel will do for spreading cement, but a flat nose trowel is especially good for cleaning out the bottom of buckets.
Simply put, a roofer is nothing without his hammer. "If I'm on a roof without my hammer I feel naked" said one employee.
That alone proves just what an essential tool a hammer is for nearly every roofing job. Though essentially designed for removing and replacing nails, in the eyes of some roofers it is a multi-purpose tool akin to a Stanley knife.
Having the right roofing tools and equipment for every possible eventuality makes even the toughest jobs that little bit easier, and over the years DPR's experienced roofers have seen every kind of job and worked on every kind of roof from bungalows to flats and steeples to cottages.
