New Jersey Introduces Digital Asset and Blockchain Technology Act | Finance Magnates
From	www.financemagnates.com -	November 10, 2020 7:15 AM
New Jersey has moved closer to the implementation of a state-level regulatory framework for firms involved in cryptocurrency services. The new Senate bill was introduced on Thursday.
The newly presented Senate bill (3132) proposes to regulate cryptocurrency service providers under the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.
The recent bill shows that New Jersey is moving one step forward to embracing a similar regulatory structure implemented by neighboring New York, known as BitLicense. The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS) designed a licensing framework for businesses involved in digital currencies. BitLicense came into effect in 2015, and now several crypto firms are regulated under the framework. The presence of a newly introduced bill by New Jersey in both houses appears to be a strong indication that crypto licensing is being taken seriously at all levels.
NJ has to make this move, given that whatever happens in NY happens in NJ, and vice versa.
Former BitLicense Chief to Manage Andreessen Horowitz's Cryptocurrency Efforts - Coindesk

The one-time New York State finance regulator who shepherded the state's BitLicense through its early days will join tech ventures fund Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) to focus on cryptocurrency companies.
A shrewd move to place the fox into the henhouse. What does this tell you about crypto?

BitLicense Has Done More Good Than Bad to the Bitcoin Sector - NewsBTC
From	www.newsbtc.com -	October 14, 2020 8:45 AM
When BitLicense was introduced, it was hailed as a defining moment, where the government-less and regulation-less cryptocurrency platforms meet regulatory machinery set up by governments and centralized organizations. A bit over one year down the line, BitLicense is being constantly referred back to, in order to avoid doing the same mistakes.
BitLicense, introduced by Benjamin Lawsky, then Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services led to the implementation of a stringent regulatory framework for the digital currency industry. The license was seen on par with the regulatory practices mainstream financial services are subjected to. However, the requirements stated by BitLicense, in order to overcome the decentralized and pseudonymous nature of Bitcoin far exceeded the AML and KYC practices otherwise followed by traditional banks and financial institutions. These factors proved to be detrimental to the majority of Bitcoin businesses operating in the State of New York.
Bitcoin was and still is relatively new, the sector being in its nascent stage makes most of the companies working on Bitcoin and Blockchain technologies startups. The stringent requirements stated by BitLicense was impossible to adhere to unless the company had venture capital backing. In addition, the BitLicense also threatened the very principle of Bitcoin, which was developed as a decentralized currency for peer to peer transactions where governments or any third party has no business meddling with.
And worthy of note: adhering to BitLicense standards still does not give anyone a pass with the SEC.
The Distributed Ledger: Blockchain, Digital Assets and Smart Contracts - JDSupra
From	www.jdsupra.com -	August 5, 2020 10:52 AM
On June 24, 2020, the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) announced a set of policies and proposals to clarify and streamline the regulatory landscape for virtual currency entities doing business within the state. These initiatives all relate to the licensing framework DFS established in June 2015 in anticipation of a proliferation of blockchain technology and virtual currencies, 23 NYCRR Part 200 (the 2015 Licensing Regime). The licensure and compliance requirements imposed by the 2015 Licensing Regime caused the BitLicense — the business license issued by DFS under the 2015 Licensing Regime permitting companies to engage in virtual currency activities — to be viewed as an indication of quality and security. At the same time, the standards and procedures under the 2015 Licensing Regime have been widely criticized as expensive, time-consuming and onerous, and have caused a number of virtual currency business to cease either their operations or plans to operate within New York.
The Self-Certification Policy allows a BitLicensee to create an internal virtual currency-listing policy through which it can self-certify the use of new virtual currencies (in addition to those permitted under the Greenlist Policy) without obtaining case-by-case approval from DFS. Prior to listing new virtual currencies through an internal coin-listing policy, a BitLicensee must obtain DFS approval that the policy meets certain criteria to protect consumer welfare.
Relevance: regulations are slowly moving into place around the launch and management of cryptocurrencies. This is important as crypto can be used as a basis for rewarding consumers for access to their data. What is not entirely clear is how state-level regulation meshes with SEC guidance.

Station Name: LEMAN STREET
Date opened: 1.6.1877
Location: East side of Leman Street and north of Cable Street
Company on opening: London & Blackwall Railway
Company on closing: London & North Eastern Railway
Present state: The station was largely demolished in 1955-6 leaving only the up platform and street level building. Apart from a few course of bricks of the platform these were cleared away during the construction of the Docklands Light Railway in 1985/6. A bricked up entrance is visible under the bridge at Leman Street but this is on the wrong side of the bridge and may have no connection with the station.
County: London
OS Grid Ref: TQ342809
Date of visit: October 1967, March 1969, December 1979, December 1982, December 1984 & 1.9.2007
Notes: Leman Street Station was completed in March 1873 but a Board of Trade inspector refused to sanction the opening of the station on safety grounds until a number of changes had been made including widening of the up platform. After another inspection in January 1875 a further list of modifications were required including the lengthening of the down platform. Once these changes had been carried out that station finally passed a Board of Trade inspection and opened on 1st June 1877.
The station entrance was on the south side of the line and the east side of Leman Street with stairs to the up platform from where there was a footbridge for access to the down platform; the platforms were slightly staggered.
Between 1893 and March 1896 the station was rebuilt as part of the widening of the line between Fenchurch Street and Stepney. The footbridge was removed and replaced by a subway and new brick buildings with awnings were provided on both platforms and a new signal box was built. A new brick street level building was also provided at the junction of Leman Street and Cable Street.
During WW1 the station was closed as an economy measure on 22nd May 1916 reopening on 1st July 1919 although it was soon clear there was little demand for the station which lost its Sunday service the following year. During WW2 initially Leman Street remained open but with many people temporarily moving away from the area passenger numbers fell even further and the station closed on 7th July 1941 and never reopened.
The platform awnings were removed in the summer of 1950 and in 1955/6 all the buildings and the down platform were demolished and the street level building was gutted. The building remained empty for many years and the building was demolished in c.1985 during the construction of the Docklands Light Railway. A few brick courses of the platform above survived to support the track bed of the DLR.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LONDON & BLACKWALL RAILWAY
The London & Blackwall Railway was one of London's earliest railways and was unusual in that it was operated by cable haulage for the first nine years. Initially two companies proposed a rail link from the City to the docks and residential developments along the north bank of the Thames. George Stephenson's Commercial Railway received Parliamentary sanction to build the line on the 28th July 1836 and in 1839 subsequently changed its name to the London & Blackwall Railway.
Despite opposition from the Corporation of London, a terminus at Fenchurch Street was eventually approved. At the Blackwall end of the line a station and adjacent pier (Brunswick Wharf) were to be built on land owned by the East & West India Dock; by this time the company had changed its name to the London & Blackwall Railway. As there were no plans for a direct
connection with any other lines the L & B opted for cable haulage with a gauge of about 5' (exact gauge not recorded).
Although the route was only 3 1/2 miles long six intermediate stations were proposed at Minories, Shadwell, Stepney, Limehouse, West India Dock and Poplar with a further short lived station at Cannon Street Road opening in 1842 (it closed four years later). From Minories to West India Dock the line was carried on a brick viaduct which then gave way to an embankment with the line eventually completed its journey through Poplar in a cutting.
The engines to drive the cable winding gear were located a short distance from each of the terminals, at Minories at the London end and about 350 yards from the Blackwall terminus. From the cable houses there was an upwards gradient to slow down arriving trains and enable departing trains to run to the winding station under their own impetus. Each of the two tracks had its own hemp rope some seven miles in length.
The Blackwall Railway opened on 6th July 1840 when the first of the two lines between Minories and Blackwall was opened with the second track coming into use on 3rd August providing a 15 minute interval service. Passenger numbers were however disappointing; it was hoped that this would improve when the extension into Fenchurch Street was opened on 2nd August 1841 but there was little change. There were teething problems with the ropes which regularly broke and in 1841 new wire ropes were fitted but they were over twice the weight.
From the outset, the hopes of the railway company had been largely founded on capturing passenger traffic from horse busses and river carriers. In 1841 a ferry from Woolwich - Brunswick Wharf was introduced which brought an immediate increase in passenger receipts as, at that time, Woolwich had no rail connection into the City but this gradually eroded as the expansion of the rail network south of the river soon brought a more convenient route into London. The wharf was not confined to local journeys with steamers serving towns along the Kent coast with other services crossing the Channel to Antwerp and Rotterdam.
The L & B eventually sought new partners to increase revenue with several schemes being promoted. The East & West India Docks & Birmingham Junction Railway (later to become the North London Railway) proposed a line from the L & NWR at Camden to Poplar and eventually it was decided that this should run into the Fenchurch Street terminus via a connection
at Bow. This scheme required a change of gauge and conversion to steam and the extension from Stepney - Bow opened on 2nd April 1849. By the beginning of 1854 the Eastern Counties Railway were running trains into the City terminus from their Enfield, Hertford and Brentwood lines; the two companies jointly established the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway which opened on the 13th April 1854.
The L & B continued to expand with some Eastern Counties trains on their North Woolwich line running into an enlarged Blackwall terminus. A third line between Stepney and Fenchurch Street was added after completion of a connection with the Tilbury line at Barking, this opened on 31st March 1858 allowing Tilbury & Southend trains to run directly into Fenchurch Street which was preferred by the ECR due the limited accommodation at their own Bishopsgate terminus. This continued until the opening of Liverpool Street in 1874.
Developments on the revitalised Blackwall Railway were not confined to passenger traffic. In 1852 a junction was constructed at Poplar between the North London line and the L. & B. which was used for traffic between the former and the East India Dock. To further accommodate freight traffic a short branch was opened to Haydon Square at the City end of the line. In 1858 a goods depot named Royal Mint Street opened on the site of Minories Station which had closed in 1853 and the Midland Railway's City Goods was also opened nearby. In 1861 a new depot (Goodmans Yard) was built for ECR, LTS and Blackwall traffic on the north side of the line just outside Fenchurch Street. Finally in 1864 a short branch was opened to serve the London and St. Katherines Docks.
There is no doubt that the decision by the London & Blackwall Railway to abandon cable haulage in favour of conventional locomotive working was the right one and this was reflected in the company's dividends which, by 1862, had risen to a steady 3%.
In 1865 a Parliamentary Act approved the lease of the Blackwall line to the newly-formed Great Eastern Railway. The importance of Fenchurch Street to the GER ensured a good price for the Blackwall shareholders who continued to receive a guarantee dividend of 4 1/2% until the line became part of the LNER in 1923.
On 19th June 1865 the London & Blackwall Company obtained an Act that authorised the building a line from a junction with the London & Blackwall at what was to become Millwall Junction Station across the Isle of Dogs to a terminus at North Greenwich. Progress on the line was slow opening as far as Millwall Dock Station on the 18th December 1871 and reaching North Greenwich on the 29th July 1872.
Although the North London Railway had originally been the Blackwall Company's main partner so far as passenger traffic was concerned, as more Eastern Counties, and later Great Eastern, trains came to use Fenchurch Street, the North London traffic had diminished in relative importance. This feature may well have influenced the North London Company in its decision to build their own terminus at Broad Street which opened on 1st November 1865 but to compensate for loss of traffic the North London extended their Poplar service to Blackwall on the 1st September 1868, this was however short lived as the service was cut back to Poplar again in 1890.
In 1872 new stations opened at Leman Street and Millwall Junction and in 1893 approval was granted for a further widening of the busiest section of the line between Fenchurch Street and Stepney to four tracks. The GER attempted to buy the Blackwall line outright in 1898 but this was rejected.
Soon after the turn of the century the tide began to turn against the railway's passenger traffic to Blackwall. Much of the steamer traffic on the Thames had succumbed to railway competition and already people were moving further out of London to live. In 1907, the Blackwall line service was reduced to three trains an hour, and in the October of the following year
Sunday services were discontinued. The number of passengers using the line east of Stepney continued to diminish and closure came on the 3rd May 1926, at the time of the General Strike. By this date the old London & Blackwall Railway had ceased to exist, being absorbed in the London & North Eastern Railway as part of the grouping resulting from the Railways Act of 1921.
The section of the original Blackwall line between Fenchurch Street and Stepney was not affected by the 1926 closure and continued to carry a heavy volume of traffic. The intermediate stations, which had platforms only on the original pair of tracks, were closed in 1941 but this portion of the line is today intensively used by the electrified service to Southend and Tilbury and the later Dockland Light Railway.
Freight traffic continued on the Blackwall route and Millwall Junction Station remained open for freight traffic until 14th November 1927. The line remained in use for freight particularly via Limehouse curve with many trains carrying Elder & Fyfe banana traffic from their facility on the south side of the East India Docks. The first section of track to be lifted was at the Blackwall end where the station was demolished in 1946 to make way for Brunswick power station. The last train between Stepney Junction and Limehouse was an enthusiasts special on 14th April 1951. After that date the points at the west end were disconnected with access to the Blackwall line remaining via the Limehouse Curve. The curve was abandoned on 10th May 1963 leaving the only access via the North London line at Poplar. This remained in use until at least 1976 but by the early 1980's all the track had been lifted.
In December 1982 Government approval was given for the Docklands Light Railway which would utilise the London & Blackwall line between Minories and Poplar. The DLR opened on 31st August 1987; the remaining section of line through Millwall Junction was lost under a new road development in the early 1990's which opened in 1993 as Aspen Way.

2. Artas: (Parcel 8 Thahir Bqeesh, Khalet Al Kurwesh and Kherbit 'Alia). See translation of military order in English.
The 'Map' – signed in scale 1: 10000 and attached to the order is an essential part of this order.
2- I announce by that the above mentioned lands are seized for imperative military purposes, to construct the wall in Kherbit 'Alia area on lands of Al Khader and Artas villages.
4- Copies of this military order and the attached map are handed out to Land owners or to the District Co-ordination Office in Bethlehem.
5A- This military order is to be notified to Land Owners or those who act on behalf of them by posting it at the District Coordination Office in Bethlehem and dispersing it on the lands by any possible mean.
5C- Copy of the military order and the attached map is set at Bethlehem District Coordination Office Board for 10 days from the issuance date of the military order, as mentioned in Part (5A).
6- Land owners or those who act on behalf of ownership have the right to object the military order in 7 days from the date of the field visit as mentioned in Part (5A) above through the District Coordination Office in Bethlehem or at the Office of the juridical advisor in the region.
7- Land Owners have the right to go to the District Coordination Office in Bethlehem to get usage expenses and compensation.
8- This order is valid from the date it was signed and until 31/12/2007.
9- This order is called: 'Order to seize lands n0 77/06/T (Judea & Samaria) 5765-2005.
On April 30, 2006, the Israeli ministry of defense published on its website an updated plan of the Segregation Wall, showing changes at some sections of the Segregation Wall route. The changes were mostly noted in Salfit, Jerusalem and Bethlehem areas.
As to the subject of the military order at hand (77/06/T), it constituted an adjustment to the April 30, 2006 Segregation plan update; as plan was to have the Segregation Wall run along bypass road 60 (starting west of Al Khader Village) till west of Artas where it direct towards the southeast to reach west of Khalayel Al Louz, it then heads southwest towards Wadi Al Nis and encompasses all of Efrat settlement.
The new military order shows a crescent-like shift of the Wall's route along bypass road 60, as it reaches south of Al Khader and northwest of Efrat settlement. The shift is inclined east of the bypass road as it moves the Segregation Wall closer to the Palestinian built-up area and some of the Palestinian houses will be literally few meters away from the Wall route; more than that, the new shift will steal of more of whatever lands left for Palestinian villages' have for future development.
The Segregation Wall in Bethlehem Governorate will stretch a length of 52.2 kilometers across Bethlehem's lands and will isolate in the process some 73 km² (73000 dunums) of land, 12% of the Governorate's area (608 km²).
The construction of the Segregation Wall is a flagrant violation of International law rules and conventions and the United Nation resolutions which do not sanction the annexation of land by force and calls for the protection of rights of people under occupation as stated by Geneva Conventions, article 47: 'Protected persons who are in occupied territory shall not be deprived, in any case or in any manner whatsoever, of the benefits of the present Convention by any change introduced, as the result of the occupation of a territory, into the institutions or government of the said territory, nor by any agreement concluded between the authorities of the occupied territories and the Occupying Power, nor by any annexation by the latter of the whole or part of the occupied territory'.
Article 46 of the Hague Convention (Laws and Customs of War on Land (Hague II); July 29, 1899).Prohibits the confiscation of private property in occupied territory. Therefore, the confiscation of land by the Israeli government for construction of the Segregation Wall is a blatant violation to International laws and Conventions.

SMALL CAP SHARE IDEAS: Circle Property's active style reaps rewards in tough property sector
By Oliver Haill, Proactive Investors, For This Is Money
Circle Property shares have gained around a third since listing three years ago, though the value of its property assets has far outstripped this growth.
Part of this discrepancy is due to its presence in a sector that investors have been shunning of late.
Concerns around the property sector are understandable due to the structural changes to the high street and wider worries about property prices due to Brexit. Also, at a market cap of just under £60million, Circle is far from the biggest.
But as a relatively small company, it is nimble, focused and has a canny ability to generate income and capital growth from its concentrated portfolio of properties.
Circle's portfolio includes an office in London, right next to what will be the new Moorgate Crossrail station (pictured)
The current portfolio contains 21 regional office buildings, of which around half offer opportunities for value to be added from active management.
'Most of our assets have redevelopment potential. We're waiting for the opportunity,' says John Arnold, chief executive.
But since floating in 2016, Circle has not just waited around, it has delivered an impressive 95 per cent increase in unaudited net asset value to £78.4million.
The 20.4 per cent gain in the past year was the third successive year of providing investors with a total return of 20 per cent or more.

HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP

Indeed, research by Radnor Capital found that Circle is the best performing listed UK real estate company over the last three years, based on NAV growth.
'We take a sow's ear and turn it into a silk purse,' says Arnold. 'Our portfolio is stuffed full of opportunity – we're rubbing our hands together.'
Part of the opportunity is from the reversionary potential of its properties, where current lease arrangements are lower than rental rates the property would be able to achieve on the open market.
John Arnold, chief executive of Circle
Circle's development opportunities are through cost-effective asset management initiatives, rent reviews and lease renewals.
'We're not interested in buying and owning for long-term income – to us that's boring. We like to sell that income once we've created it,' says Arnold. 'If we can deliver what the market wants and we can get a nice price we will sell.'
But if the price is not right, Circle does not need to sell the asset but will instead go back to the bank and refinance the asset, take the cash and then re-invest that instead.
This means Circle does not require the market to generate capital appreciation in order to make gains, just for Arnold and co to remain on their toes in managing their assets.
'Almost all of the growth in NAV we've overseen is not as a result of yields hardening but as a result of tangible improvements we've made or lettings we've arranged through the year. We are truly active managers.'
Circle acquires properties with development potential by making use of the extraordinarily rich network of regional contacts of Arnold and his team, where they source good quality assets in off-market deals at close to vacant possession values.
In cities and towns around the country, the team are well known by local agents who have come to know that Arnold et al are good clients – 'we make quick decisions, we pay fees quickly, we don't chip on price or fees' – and agents are generally given re-instructions so the virtuous circle continues.
This approach has built a portfolio that includes office properties in the centres of or in business parks near to Birmingham, Bristol, Milton Keynes, Staines and Northampton, as well as an office in London, right next to what will be the new Moorgate Crossrail station.
Arnold and his colleagues, Edward Olins, Circle's chief operating officer, and Ian Henderson, the former Land Securities chief executive who is Circle's chairman, 'know all of the towns, all of the streets and probably most of the buildings' in the UK, he insists.
This is no idle brag, as after seven years at a chartered surveyor firm that later became CBRE, Arnold spent a dozen years on the property side of Hambros Bank before its sale to Investec in the 1990s, where his knowledge of the highways and byways of Britain's high streets and business parks steadily accumulated.
In 2002, Arnold and the banking family scion Jamie Hambro got together to form Circle as a limited partnership with £7.5million of cash to invest.
By 2006, the unit trust had been absorbed into a newly created and more flexibly structured investment company, Circle Property, with Olins brought in to beef up the operational side alongside a new round of investment.
House broker Cenkos forecasts a handy 6.3p per share dividend and says the pipeline offers potential to boost income, earnings and assets, with a new bank facility providing the firepower to fuel Arnold's ambitions.
On a per share basis, the assets are worth 277p per share compared to a share price of 206.5p, and Circle will be looking to square this discrepancy in the years ahead.

Lee Elder, 1st Black golfer to play Masters, dies at age 87
Chris Carlson/AP
FILE - Lee Elder poses for a picture at the Masters golf tournament Monday, Nov. 9, 2020, in Augusta, Ga. Elder broke down racial barriers as the first Black golfer to play in the Masters and paved the way for Tiger Woods and others to follow. The PGA Tour confirmed Elder's death, which was first reported by Debert Cook of African American Golfers Digest. No cause or details were immediately available, but the tour said it spoke with Elder's family. He was 87. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson, File)
Golf pioneer Lee Elder has died at the age of 87.
"Lee was a good player, but most important[ly], a good man who was very well respected by countless people. The game of golf lost a hero in Lee Elder," 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus said on Twitter in reaction to hearing Elder's passing.
Elder broke down racial barriers as the first Black golfer to play in the Masters and he paved the way for Tiger Woods and others to follow.
Elder made history in 1975 at Augusta National, which had held an all-white tournament until he received an invitation after winning the Monsanto Open.
Elder missed the cut but forever stamped himself as a groundbreaking figure in a sport never been known for racial tolerance.
Twenty-two years later, Woods became the first Black golfer to don a green jacket, the Associated Press reported.
The PGA Tour said Elder died early Sunday in Escondido, California.
He had been in poor health and wore an oxygen tube beneath his nose when he appeared at the opening of the Masters in April.
"Lee Elder was a pioneer in so many ways. Yes, he was the first black golfer to play in, but that simply underlined the hard work Lee put in to further the cause of everyone who has a dream to play on the and thinks there were too many barriers before them," Nicklaus said.


Lloyd Wayne Byrd had 27 dogs on his ramshackle property in rural Rains County. He says he kept the dogs for the express purpose of annoying his neighbors.
But aggravate his neighbors Byrd and his pooches certainly did. Their constant barking was one thing -- he's run up $3,000 in fines on that score. Another was the stench. Just a few weeks ago, Byrd was ticketed for burning their crap during the burn ban. Finally, the SPCA raided his property.
Byrd didn't take kindly to this dramatic intervention, and to show his displeasure, the grizzled 65-year-old dropped his faded Wranglers and bent over.
Ridenhour also said this was no isolated incident. He said Byrd mooned people who drove by and frequently cussed out his neighbors. "This is not the ideal neighborhood," he said.
The SPCA found the 27 dogs chained up -- some of them out of reach of food and water. They also said that Byrd was apparently feeding them turtles, at least in part. They've been taken to a shelter in suburban Dallas, and a custody hearing will be held on October 16.


I've been dreaming about this email for a while. It's kind of a weird thing to dream about. But I wondered what might happen if I created a beautiful email and sent it to incredible people. Yeah, I know. Emails and beautiful are not two things I'd usually put together. Email often feels like a necessary evil to exist in our world today.
But what if an email could be beautiful?
What if two times a month, you opened up an email that left you feeling more at ease instead of pressured to move faster? More empowered and courageous rather than disconnected and fearful. Maybe an email could even clear the clutter around your heart so you could show up to your one holy life.
Welcome to Your Palms Up Life.
It's an exclusive twice a month email for spiritually-minded people who want to let go of overwhelm with courage and ease.
It's an invitation to pause, listen a little deeper, to ask a new question, hear a new perspective and emerge more grounded and focused on what matters most to you in this life.
Your time really matters to me. I promise not to waste it. You don't need another email that promises to fix everything or ten steps to happiness. However, if that actually existed, I might sign up for it. I'm guessing you might need what I need. A few trusted voices who have struggled and emerged on the other side with something compelling. They've seen something and they're trying to put it into words. They're grounded in something that feels stronger and meaningful.
I'm hoping and praying you find some of those voices here.
P.S. I'm doing my absolute best so that the email that arrives on your screen a couple times a month is something you look forward to. It'll be a breath of new air that loosens the stuck parts of life so you can get clear on what really matters to you. If you move into a season where this email isn't serving you anymore, unsubscribe anytime. Seriously. I hate getting tons of email I don't need anymore. Unsubscribe anytime! See you soon.

Since September 11, 2001, Washington's policies in the Middle East have proven a grim imperial comedy of errors and increasingly a spectacle of how a superpower is sidelined. In this drama, barely noticed by the American media, Uncle Sam's keystone ally in the Arab world, Egypt, like Saudi Arabia, has largely turned its back on the Obama administration. As with so many of America's former client states across the aptly named "arc of instability," Egypt has undergone a tumultuous journey -- from autocracy to democracy to a regurgitated form of military rule and repression, making its ally of four decades appear clueless.
Fattened on the patronage of successive military presidents, Egypt's military-industrial complex had grown enormously. Its contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP), though a state secret, could be as high as 40%, unparalleled in the region. The chief executives of 55 of Egypt's largest companies, contributing a third of that GDP, are former generals.
As the Tamarod campaign gained momentum, the interior ministry's secret police infiltrated it, as did former Mubarak supporters, while elements of the police state of the Mubarak era were revived. Reports that cronies of the toppled president were providing the funding for the campaign began to circulate. The nationwide offices of the Free Egyptians -- a party founded by Naguib Sawiria, a businessman close to Mubarak and worth $2.5 billion -- were opened to Tamarod organizers. Sawiria also paid for a promotional music video that was played repeatedly on OnTV, a television channel he had founded. In addition, he let his newspaper, Al Masry al Youm, be used as a vehicle for the campaign.
Ben Hubbard and David D. Kirkpatrick of the New York Times provided evidence of meticulous planning, especially by the Interior Ministry, in a report headlined "Sudden Improvements in Egypt Suggest a Campaign to Undermine Morsi." They quoted Ahmad Nabawi, a Cairo gas station manager, saying that he had heard several explanations for the gas crisis: technical glitches at the storage facilities, the arrival of low quality gas from abroad, and excessive stockpiling by the public. But he put what happened in context this way: "We went to sleep one night, woke up the next day, and the crisis was gone" -- and so was Morsi. Unsurprisingly, of all the ministers in the Morsi government, Interior Minister Ibrahim was the only one retained in the interim cabinet appointed by the generals.
The helplessness of Washington before a client state with an economy in freefall was little short of stunning. Pentagon officials, for instance, revealed that since the "ouster of Mr. Morsi," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had had 15 telephone conversations with coup leader General Sisi, pleading with him to "change course" -- all in vain.
The sentencing of the founders of the April 6 Youth Movement -- which through its social media campaign had played such a crucial role in sparking anti-Mubarak demonstrations -- foreshadowed something far worse. On April 28, 2014, the Cairo Court for Urgent Matters outlawed that secular, pro-democracy movement based on a complaint by a lawyer that it had "tarnished the image" of Egypt and colluded with foreign parties.
With this set of acts, the post-coup regime turned the clock back to Mubarakism -- without Mubarak.
By this time, the diplomatic and financial support of the oil rich Gulf States ruled by autocratic monarchs was proving crucial to the military regime in Cairo. Immediately after the coup, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) poured $12 billion into Cairo's nearly empty coffers. In late January 2014, Saudi Arabia and the UAE came up with an additional $5.8 billion. This helped Sisi brush off any pressure from Washington and monopolize power his way.
Sisi continued to place his henchmen in key positions in the armed forces, including military intelligence. On March 26th, he resigned from the army, declaring himself an independent candidate. Nonetheless, as Alaa Al Aswany, a prominent writer and commentator, revealed, senior military commanders continued to perform important tasks for him. There was nothing faintly fair about such an election, Aswany pointed out. Most other potential candidates for the presidency had reached a similar conclusion -- that entering the race was futile. Hamdeen Sabahi, a secular left-of-center politician, was the only exception.

The Tom Oberheim SEM Pro is a two oscillator monophonic sound module. It is a re-issue of the original Oberheim SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) from 1974 but with up to date features such as midi control and additional patch points including the ability to filter external sounds. The design of the original SEM, with its legendary multimode filter section (2-pole (12dB/oct) and detunable oscillators, went on to be incorporated into the legendary keyboard synths, the Oberheim Two Voice, Four Voice, and Eight Voice (which contains 2, 4, or 8 SEM-style modules). It includes midi to CV/gate converter for controlling additional synths and a CV/gate input for each of the two oscillators. Each oscillator can consist of variable amount of sawtooth or pulse. The LFO can modulate the oscillators pitch, pulse width, and filter.
Various incarnation of the SEM have been used in recordings by Drokk (Geoff Barrow of Portishead with and film composer Ben Salisbury), 808 State, Depeche Mode, Herbie Hancock, Styx, Rush, Jan Hammer, Pink Floyd, The Shamen, Joe Zawinul, John Carpenter, Vince Clarke (Erasure, Yazoo), Gary Wright ("Dream Weaver") and Vangelis.

text:
Reschef (phönizisch ršf, ägyptisch Ršp, akkadisch Rešef, Ra-sa-ap in Ebla, hebräisch רשף, Ræšæf) war ein syrischer und phönizischer Gott. Älteste Belege für die Verehrung von Rasap stammen aus dem 3. Jahrtausend aus Ebla. Als theophorer Namensbestandteil ist Reschef vor allem in Syrien und am mittleren Euphrat belegt, so in Emar, Ebla, Mari, Terqa und Ḫana. In Emar ist Reschef auch als Bestandteil eines hurritischen Namens (Ikki-Rašap) nachgewiesen.

Levante
In Ugarit war Reschef ein wichtiger Gott. Er trug den Beinamen tġr šmš, Pförtner der Sonne. Die zahlreichen Versuche, die levantinischen Bronzefiguren eines schreitenden Gottes einer bestimmten Gottheit, insbesondere Ba'al oder Reschef zuzuschreiben, müssen als gescheitert gelten. Ein Schild könnte Reschef kennzeichnen, auch hier ist die Beweislage nach Klingbeil aber unzureichend.

Reschef wurden Opfer in Gärten dargebracht (ršp gn).

Gleichsetzungen und Deutung
Reschef wurde manchmal mit dem mesopotamischen Nergal gleichgesetzt. Helck will den syrischen Reschef mit dem hethitischen dLAMA.LÍL, dem Schutzgott des Feldes gleichsetzen. Wolfgang Fauth hält den ugaritischen Reschef dagegen für einen "solaren Feuer- und Pestgott" und verweist darauf, dass die Bezeichnung ršp in späterer Zeit, ähnlich wie b'l, keinen spezifischen Gott mehr bedeutet, dieser wird nun durch Beinamen wie Rešep-Mikal (Kition) angezeigt. In Kition führte Reschef den Beinamen ḥṣ, was nach Teixidor Pfeil bedeutet. Teixidor deutet Reschef dementsprechend als Seuchengott, ähnlich dem griechischen Apollon, dessen Pfeile das Heer der Danäer mit der Pest schlugen. In Idalion wurde er daher später mit Apollon gleichgesetzt.

Luwier
Reschef wird als "Rešef von den Böcken" (ršp ṣprm) auch in der phönizischen Fassung der Azatiwataš-Inschrift erwähnt, in der luwischen Version dieser Bilingue heißt er Runzas (DEUS ru-za-sá-há).

Palästina
Im Tanach, der hebräischen Bibel, wird רשף (ršp) insgesamt sechsmal erwähnt (; ; ; ; ; ). Der Prophet Habakuk erwähnt Reschef, zusammen mit dævær (dbr), der Pest, als Gefolgsleute Jahwes in seinem Kampf gegen die See.

Diese Bibelstelle zeigt starke Bezüge zum ugaritischen Epos über den Kampf von Ba'al mit dem Meer (Jam), von dort sind vermutlich auch Reschef und Deber übernommen. John Day verweist auf eine Szene im Drachenkampf des Baal, in dem Reschef den Drachen mit seinen Pfeilen verwundet. Dabir ist auch in Texten aus Ebla als Gottheit aufgeführt. Blair hält die Erwähnung von Reschef dagegen nur für ein poetisches Stilmittel.

Die Identifizierung Reschefs mit Apollon führte zur Umbenennung der nach Reschef benannten Stadt Arsuf in Judäa in Apollonia.

Reschef in Ägypten

Reschef (Reschep) wurde seit der 12. Dynastie auch in Ägypten verehrt, in der Mitte der 18. Dynastie unter Amenophis II. zunächst als Kriegsgott. Er ist verbunden mit der Göttin Qadschu und wurde in der 18. Dynastie besonders als Pferdegott dargestellt. In dieser Epoche war Reschef offenbar der Gott der Pferde und Streitwagen. Oft wurde der König (Pharao) mit Reschef verglichen, denn es finden sich Formeln wie beispielsweise "Amenophis II. stürmt durch die Furt des Orontes hindurch wie Reschef" oder auch "die Streitwagen Ramses II. sind mächtig wie viele Reschefs".

Während Reschef in der 18. Dynastie ein Königsgott war, wurde er in der Ramessidenzeit zu einem Volksgott, der nun kaum noch auf königlichen Denkmälern erschien. Die Denkmäler der Ramessidenzeit zeigen ihn mit Steinbockkopf, Schild, Speer und Axt. Oft wurde er zusammen mit Qadesch und Min dargestellt.

Reschefs Verehrung dauerte die Dritte Zwischenzeit über bis in die Griechisch-Römische Zeit an.

Senate committee will investigate sexist comments made to judicial nominee
By PolitickerNJ • 01/07/10 1:45pm
A nominee for a Superior Court judgeship testified today that a member of the Essex County Bar Association who interviewed her during her nomination process asked her if she planned to act like a bitch once she got on the bench.
State Sen. Nia Gill (D-Montclair) has asked that the Senate Judiciary Committee and the state Administrative Office of the Courts to investigate the circumstances surrounding the interview of Cathy Wasserman, a career public defender. Wasserman said the lawyer who interviewed her said he was concerned that once she became a judge, she might "assume the persona of the wicked Queen of Snow White."
"It was an unnerving experience," Wasserman told the Senators.
The lawyer was not identified.
"I will not tolerate that, nor do I think any female candidate for judge or any other position should have to put up with that kind of conduct," Gill said.
State Sens. Bill Baroni (R-Hamilton) and Gerald Cardinale (R-Demarest) suggested that this incident warrants a new review of the compact between the Governor's office and the state Bar Association, which allows local lawyers to interview judicial candidates and effectively gives the Bar Association sign off power on judicial nominations.
The committee voted unanimously to investigate the Essex bar association. Wasserman, whose nomination was released by the panel without dissent, agreed to assist the investigation.

Q: change server to client and vice versa socket programming I create an android application that communicates between multiple devices, using socket progamming, that one device is server and other devices are client. But what I need is to change the server while devices communicate with each other. For example at first the device "A" is server, but after a while (due to some calculations or ...) the device "F" become server and device "A" change state to client, without connection disconnected.
Is there any way to do that?
If no, is there any way to connect some android devices with each other and send/receive data among them?

How Lab Grown Diamonds Are Made?
andrewsjwewelers
Buying jewelry is a serious decision due to the involvement of great sum of money. This becomes especially true when there are two options – natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds. Yes, now buyers have an option to choose lab grown diamonds. Want to know more about them? Continue reading below.
A lab grown diamond begins with carbon the process it would start with carbon beneath the crust of the Earth. After this, it's put under the same settings in a glasshouse lab. They are placed in the same pressure and temperature, and they include the same chemicals to get the reaction for the carbon to form. And the more it crystallizes, the diamond gets bigger in size. It begins with what they're referring a baby diamond seed, which is carbon.
The technology in lab-grown diamonds has been getting better every day, and it's hard to find the difference. In various parts of the world, different carbon is showed to different chemical reactions.
By using advanced technological processes, the manufacturers have been able to replicate the conditions under which diamonds logically develop beneath the earth's surface, and develop lab grown diamonds at a quicker rate in an extremely controlled laboratory. One carat cut diamond is known to consume about three months. Once it's developed, then it goes under the same process as any mined diamond does, through the four C's, cut, color, clarity, carat. And the better it's cut the more it shines. They are graded with that system by the same authorities and governing bodies that level all of the mined diamonds. You know, IGI or GIA, they all come qualified as well.
And whenever once consumers understood lab grown diamonds to be less authentic and valuable than original ones, these days they are being perceived as a tempting gateway to big-size diamonds at competitive prices and, importantly, a guilt-free investment.

Shows to see: Robbie Fulks, the Hecks, the Hussy, Claw Toe, and more
by Kevin Warwick
Bambi Guthrie
The Hussy
Though Soundboard went heavy on the weekend shows this issue, the early days of the week aren't just dreary live-music doldrums—sometimes we don't weigh in on a great concert or three because we've just covered the artist in question and we'd rather make room for something new than repeat ourselves. There are still plenty of reasons to stay out too late on a school night.
Mon 8/13: Robbie Fulks at the Hideout
Fulks continues his weekly residency at the Hideout, this time teaming up with fiddler Liz Carroll. Peter Margasak has never been shy about his admiration for Fulks, and reliably finds a way to include him in our Best of Chicago issues—Fulks was 2009's "Best Folk or Country Act" and performed 2010's "Best Michael Jackson Cover." Last year, Margasak declared Fulks's Hideout stint "Best Weekly Live-Music Gig": "Robbie Fulks certainly gets paid for his Monday-night sets at the Hideout," he wrote, "but he invests them with a kind of energy and creativity most musicians can't even summon for their most unique or important gigs."
Tue 8/14: The Hecks at the Empty Bottle
Guitar-drums rock duos typically don't cut it for me, mainly because I've lived most of my life as a bass player—I know you can't underestimate the thick backbone of a Fender P-bass stabilizing some jangly guitar chords. But Luca Cimarusti still thinks the duo of Zach Hebert and Andrew Mosiman, aka the Hecks, are more than worth your attention. He called them the "Best New Rock Duo" in our most recent Best of Chicago issue, writing, "The music's simplicity and obtuse melodic bent remind me of Wire's quieter moments, and the eerie vibe Hebert can conjure with a maraca-struck snare drum just screams Sonic Youth." Estrogen Highs headline.
Tue 8/14: The Hussy at the Fireside Bowl
And while we're on the topic of rock duos, I'm gong to go ahead and back over my own words a bit and recommend the Hussy, a Madison band that I unfortunately missed last time they came through town due to obligations at Pitchfork and its afterparties. The guitar-and-drums duo layers all kinds of nonsense into its songs to fill things out, making the sound much more expansive than you could believe two people could or ever would. It's incredibly loud and catchy, with fuzzy, hooky licks and melodic backup vocals from drummer Heather Sawyer. Yet another duo, White Mystery, headlines.
Wed 8/15: Claw Toe at the Empty Bottle
Influenced by the likes of PiL, Killing Joke, and Depeche Mode, Claw Toe demonstrates allegiance to its elders while using what Miles Raymer describes as "bits of psychedelia, industrial, and garage to build something unique from a well-worn set of blueprints." Originally a home-recording project for Criminal IQ head honcho Darius Hurley, Claw Toe now includes members or former members of the Mac Blackout Band, M.O.T.O., and Ratattack.

Voting was brisk, orderly and quiet.
In contrast to the rowdy scenes two years ago when protesters sabotaged an election that the incumbent Puea Thai party was poised to win, voting in yesterday's nationwide constitutional referendum was relaxed and almost low-key.
Privy Council member Surayud Chulanont, a former army commander who was made an interim prime minister after the 2006 coup that ousted then prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, turned up at his lightly-policed Bangkok polling station wearing shades and a bright blue shirt.
Another former prime minister, Ms Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's younger sister, cast her ballot then headed to a temple in eastern Bangkok to release birds and fishes in a traditional Thai ceremony.
A roadside bomb targeting a convoy carrying ballot boxes killed one person. An anti-coup activist was arrested after he tore up his ballot paper. Otherwise, most Thais in this deeply divided country simply let their vote do the talking.
What does a "yes" vote mean?
•The draft charter becomes the 20th Constitution, replacing the one scrapped after the coup.
•It paves the way for an election next year.
•The junta will select almost all of the 250 senators. Six seats in the Upper House will be reserved for senior military and security officials.
•The prime minister need not be an elected official.
•The electoral system will make it hard for any single party to win enough seats to dominate the government.
•The future government will be closely scrutinised by a Senate largely picked by the ruling junta during the transitory five-year period.
The referendum took place some two years after the military seized power from a Puea Thai party government paralysed by street protests and judicial rulings. Since the coup in May 2014, Asean's second-largest economy has been run by a military government under an interim Constitution that grants the junta absolute power.
Coup-maker and Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha had promised to hold an election next year if the draft Constitution, which will be Thailand's 20th if enacted, passes muster at the plebiscite.
But the terms are unpalatable to human rights advocates, who warn that the draft charter would allow the military to control a future elected government without even staging a coup.
Those who support the draft Constitution, however, said they were fed up with the politicians that Thailand has seen in its 84-year-old democratic history and welcomed military oversight.
Retired civil servant Chirakom Kitiyakara, 69, told The Straits Times: "I would love to get rid of the crooked politicians… They just come to cheat and enrich themselves, without doing anything for this country."
Opponents of the draft charter were much more hesitant to speak out, given the authorities' record of prosecuting "vote no" activists in the lead-up to the referendum.
Said Mr Chlo Samanya, 52: "I want people to be able to elect our parliamentarians, not have the government give us a pack of people and tell us they are our representatives."
The freelance documents agent was resigned to the possibility of the situation turning against his wishes, given deeply divided sentiments in the coup-prone country. In the 2007 post-coup referendum, 57 per cent of all votes cast were in favour of a draft charter that increases the role of appointed parliamentarians.
"I am not going to wait for the results tonight," he said. He appeared to have good reason for his fears, as unofficial results showed that the majority of the votes cast were in favour of the charter.
There were some worries about disruption just before the referendum began. Several bombs were detonated overnight in the southern border provinces where militants are waging a separatist insurgency. A roadside bomb targeting a convoy carrying ballot boxes in Pattani province killed one school official and injured two policemen, according broadcaster Thai PBS.
Pokemon Go, the popular new location-based smartphone game, was launched on Saturday, triggering a warning from the election commission to gamers not to wander into polling stations in the hope of nabbing a virtual monster.
In the end, the biggest distractions came from a late afternoon downpour in Bangkok that sent officials scurrying, as well as the media scrums that broke out as high- profile voters cast their ballot.
At Bangkok's Klong Lum Jiak School, where Ms Yingluck appeared, the pandemonium died down as soon as she left.
A polling official began removing the tape that had been used to separate the media from the voting area.
"Peaceful at last," he muttered to himself.

Q: How to handle variations of the same data point? I have a database with three tables:

*

*books,

*authors and

*books_authors
books_authors is a "junction" table (i.e., it represents a conceptual level many-to-many relationship), so if it has a row with book_id=1 and author_id=5, it means that author 5 is an author of book 1.
Now, the problem is that author names are sometimes written differently depending on the book. For example, in book 1 the name of author 5 is written "洋子", but in book 2 the name of author 5 is written "ようこ".
Sometimes these are variations of the same name  (ようこ = 洋子) but sometimes they are completely different (e.g., an author changes his or her name after getting married.)
What's the best way to retain these name variations? Should I enter separate rows for the values "洋子" and "ようこ", and then link them with another ID? Or should I make an array to keep all the variations in a single row?
Additional information
In response to some clarification requests made via comments, I am going to explain several significant aspects in order to contextualize the scenario more fully:

*

*Authors can actually have six separate name values (First, First-reading, Last, Last-Reading, Full, Full-Reading) but the only one required is Full. The rest "can be" null.

*An Author does not have a, say, "base name" in the business domain of interest.

*I retain Author Names only when they are associated with a Book.

*Authors can be Artists, Editors, etc. I use (what I call) the "junction" table to keep track of which Role they play for each Book.

*I think that, usually, multiple Name Variations represent different values of the same domain, as in the case of "ようこ=洋子", but I believe that sometimes they are different domains (e.g., as in the situation mentioned above, when an Author changes their Last Name after getting married).

*I want to manipulate the corresponding tables via SELECT operations that, e.g., include the column(s) containing the Authors Names as (a) condition(s) in the WHERE clauses.

*The full properties of interest regarding an Author are just the six Name (what I call) "fields", their Variants, and the Books with which they are associated.

*The property whose values uniquely identify an Author instance is only the ID, as far as I can tell.

Note: I'm using Postgres but this question could apply to other relational database management systems.

A: I may just be repeating @jeffmc's answer, but I would add an author_names table that has a one-to-many relationship with authors, and then make your junction table (books_authors) a junction of books and author_names. (For clarity you may want to rename it books_author_names.) This way you are able to group authors by all their various identities/pseudonyms while being to tell exactly which moniker was used in the publication of a specific book.
I think this is a more precise way of doing it than using a time-based structure, as an author may use multiple identities simultaneously (e.g., Stephen King published both as Richard Bachman and Stephen King for several years).

A: Well, perhaps the way to think about it is in terms of the relations you need.
As stated, you must maintain the book 1 / author 5 relation,
and the book 2 / author 5 relation.
This is an example of an aliasing problem.
One way to solve the problem would be to create an author_alias table that contains id pairs of the authors row.
Maintain the usual book / author relation.
This means you will have 2 rows in authors, say 5 and 8; one for each variant of the authors name.  From the point of view of the DB, they are separate authors.
Then add another fact in the model by making an entry in author_alias connoting the alias between author id 5 and author id 8.
Now you can query either way by joining on the ids to find the aliases each author name can be expressed as.

A: It may be of interest to know when an author used a certain name. You could then add a temporal table:
CREATE TABLE AUTHOR_NAME_HISTORY
( AUTHOR_ID ...
      REFERENCES AUTHOR (AUTHOR_ID)
, NAME ... NOT NULL
, START TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
, END TIMESTAMP -- NULL means it has not ended
,   PRIMARY KEY (AUTHOR_ID, START) );

Some DBMS have built-in temporal support. This is an example from DB2:
CREATE TABLE AUTHOR_NAME_HISTORY
( AUTHOR_ID ...
      REFERENCES AUTHOR (AUTHOR_ID)
, NAME ... NOT NULL
, START TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
, END TIMESTAMP -- NULL means it has not ended
, PERIOD BUSINESS_TIME(START, END)
,   PRIMARY KEY (AUTHOR_ID, business_time without overlaps) ) ;

To get all names for an author:
SELECT NAME
FROM AUTHOR_NAME_HISTORY
WHERE AUTHOR_ID = ?
ORDER BY START

To get the name of an author at a particular point in time:
SELECT NAME
FROM AUTHOR_NAME_HISTORY
WHERE ? BETWEEN START AND COALESCE(END, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
  AND AUTHOR_ID = ?;


Joel Stransky, who kicked the winning points in the 1995 Rugby World Cup final, says the kick changed his life. It also helped to change the life of South Africa.
Overcoming underdog status, to be crowned Rugby World Champions, was not an expected event for the Springboks. Nor was overcoming a history of racial injustice and intolerance, without fighting a civil war, an expected event for South Africa.
This kick, however, helped to change the future of both the kicker and his country.

London-based 20|30 Ltd has become the first UK company to successfully complete the tokenisation and issuance of their equity as part of the UK Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) Sandbox 4.
This test happened in partnership with fintech company Nivaura, who acted as custodian for the offering. Nivaura recently raised £20 million in a seed funding round led by London Stock Exchange Group. Other investors in Nivaura include leading law firms Allen & Overy, Linklaters and Orrick.
Venture studio 20|30 is building a portfolio of innovative services and products using blockchain technology. The test issuance was executed by TokenFactory, a capital raising platform and the first of 20|30's products to go to market.
London Stock Exchange Group participated in the test issuance by sending settlement instructions to a public blockchain via 2030's platform which is powered by Nivaura technology. The test therefore demonstrated connectivity between a regulated trading venue, the Turquoise Plato™ platform, and a public blockchain infrastructure.
"Clearing and settlement are vital processes that sustain trust and certainty in the global financial system. For tokenisation to be embraced it is vital that the issuance and trading of tokens be transacted with the same level of trust and legal certainty as shares and other securities.
"That is why we are delighted to announce that for the first time an equity token offering has harnessed blockchain to effect settlement in collaboration with a major stock exchange.
"We have succeeded in what we hope is the first step in reinventing capital markets. By tokenising our own equity at 20|30 through TokenFactory, we can demonstrate that there is a far better way to unlock the value of equity, built on innovative blockchain technology which will transform the way companies raise capital.
As a regulated, full-service fundraising machine, TokenFactory empowers investors with greater access to investment opportunities and to liquidity, while companies can raise capital more cheaply than traditional methods and in a time-efficient manner. TokenFactory will tokenise equity in a way that is compliant with UK laws and regulations. This is one of the few models of tokenisation that can be scaled with ease, and differs from digitised uncertificated shares, an approach adopted by a number of other companies that does not necessarily provide the same legal certainty.
The test issuance was executed within the FCA's Sandbox Cohort 4. Upon the closing of this issuance and initial funding round in late March, TokenFactory will aim to remove its Sandbox restrictions to be a fully authorised MiFID investment firm able to arrange the issuance of equity tokens by global firms launching issuances in the UK. Until then, professional investors wishing to participate in the firm's fund raise can continue to do so.
