My number 1 pick is Vice City. If they can re-create Liberty City, they can do the same to Vice City. I'm all in on that one.
2nd choice would be a new city never seen in GTA, but mentioned a lot...Carcer City. It's time for us the gamer to go to CC.
3rd would be San Fierro & Las Venturas, but I get the feeling those might come if a DLC is created for GTA V.

I think Vice City would be the natural location for the next GTA, which would be great, although I would also like to see a return to London.

Washington DC, its a great place and I would like to take a car in the white house grass and get killed by AA guns of course.
You want to take a car to the white house and get killed by Anti-Air?

Italia features huge cities with enough urban and modern regions almost as much as rural areas on the country. Beautiful nature all across the land, and romantic small alleys inbetween.
Perfect for a dark mafia story.

My ideas for GTA VI locations
1) A North American woodland biome with 3 cities an the country. The first city is a Chicago-based city called Slaughterhouse City. (Chicago is a hub for the meatpacking industry,hence the name.) The second city will be a city base on Detroit called Auto City (Detroit is the center of the American auto industry and has the real-life nickname motor city.) The third city will be based on Toronto. Because it's Canada, the police are less experienced when it comes to dealing with violent crime, there will be no Ammu-Nation stores and there will be less armed citizens due to stronger gun control. Illegal goods can be brought across the US-Canada border. If the game was set 20 years or so in the past, Michael and Trevor could be supporting characters, seeing how the two met bringing illegal goods across the border in 1993. If the game took the 3 protagonist system form GTA V, each protagonist could be from a different city. Because the game takes place in the Northern US/ Southern Canada, there would be lots of snow.
2) The game would be set in 2 cities. The first city would be a Washington, DC-inspired city called Federal City. The map would have DC and the nearby suburbs and smaller cities in Maryland and Virginia. There would also be a woodland area with a river based off the the real-life Potomac River and the surrounding woods. NOOSE and FIB would have a strong presence, because their national headquarters would be in the city. The game could have a modern setting, or be set in the 90's during the crack epidemic, when DC was the most dangerous place in the US. (If the game was set in the 90's, there would be no NOOSE, because the Department of Homeland Security, NOOSE's real-life equivalent didn't exist until the early 2000's.) The second city would be based on Baltimore. Baltimore is a port city known for lots of crime and gangs. (There could be lots of references to The Wire, the same way Vice City often referenced Miami Vice.
Both of these regions have never been in the GTA series, so they have lots of potential for innovative gameplay and story.

Whodunit?
I agreed with you, right up until you said you had a feeling that SF and LV would be made as a DLC for GTA V. R* spend 2-4 years making GTA IV's Liberty City, and V's Los Santos, and you think they're just gonna make 2 new cities as DLC?
IF we see a new location as DLC for V it's gonna be Liberty City, since the map is already made, it just needs to be updated, and changed to reflect LC of 2013. It would not take anymore effort than remaking GTA V for Xbox1 and PS4.

I would love to see a rust belt/Midwestern game since previous GTA games have all been on the East Coast or West Coast. I think the midwestern theme would really work for a GTA game because the Midwest was thriving during the 50s but then suffered a lot in the following years with economic and population decline.

It's all in the chin.
A lot of you guys have played and enjoyed Vice City during that period. I've only recently been following the series starting with IV. A piece of me would love to see VC come back. I don't know how R* would set a current theme for the world in Florida and compete with the 80's. Fans of VC might make comparisons and nastalgia might not come flooding back leading to disappointment.
With that said, I think Boarder Patrol should get in on the game somehow. A city close to Mexico could prove to be very interesting. Crime, corruption and greed are all there for the taking. Think about the high speed chases to make it back across the boarder, The Cartel and their ruthless tactics, and the little boarder towns on either side of the boarder. Depending on which part of the 2,000 mile boarder that is used, the Pacific Ocean and/or the Rio Grande can be used.

HOW'S ANNIE?
I've been thinking recently about the possibility of a new map based on Texas and Louisianna (can't spell for sh*t). In the west you have a mix of both the desert and forest areas of Texas with a very urbanised Dallas thrown in the middle, in the east you have bright, sunny, New Orleans and swampland around it.
Other than that I would love to see modern Boston or 90's Washinton.
While I've been a big supporter of 70's San Fierro since V was released, I'm warming a lot to the idea of a new location we haven't seen yet.

1. Vice City.

3. San Fierro/Las Venturas
For new locations;
1. Sydney NSW Australia, at least for a set of 'prologue' missions.

I'd like to see the Game take place in the Philadelphia Area.
Philadelphia could be the GTA world's Carcer City, have another part of alderny, or maybe even all of alderney, Allentown to the North, Reading to the west, and Camden as well. All those cities are known for their crime.
Also since Philadelphia and NYC are only 80 miles apart, you could have both Carcer City and Liberty City, having alderny (New Jersey) seperate them, being able to drive from one city to the other.
I think that would be pretty cool. The Philadelphia Area is pretty diverse for being on the east coast. You have the Poccono mountains, the farmland, miles of suburbia, the Jersey Shore and more. I feel it's the perfect place for the next GTA.

I feel like it would be a good idea to expand to another city. While I want to re-visit Vice City, I wouldn't complain about a brand new location.

I am a famous person in real life. No really.
Well, we're only about 8 months away from finding out. San Andreas released in '04, GTAIV ' announcements started in '06, released '08. GTAV announcements started '011, released '13.
I really think GTA:O is going to first re-skin Liberty City, getting players used to traveling across locales.
GTA VI will have multi-protagonists in Los Santos, Liberty City, and a third "brand new HD" city, probably Vice City plus surrounding everglades.
The Theme of VI? IV Tackled the American Dream, V tackled the pursuit of the all mighty dollar, I have a feeling VI will be about the decline of Empire. America's, and your protagonists. Expect serious drug operations and fixing politics to take up a chunk of the story.
One of the lead characters will be female, and another will start out good and "break bad" to be the worst of them all.

From old/existing locations:
San Fierro - It was my favorite city in GTA San Andreas and i'd like to see it remade. I don't really care about what time period, but many people who suggest SF want it in the 1970's and i'm cool with that. Perhaps it could include a mission where you escape from a Alcatraz-based max security prison like in Saints Row 2.
Carcer City - It could have that dangerous, gritty feel that was present in GTA 3 and 4, could be based on a combination of rust belt cities, could feature Manhunt characters as mission givers, and could have an emphasis on stealth and executions.
Las Venturas - Mafia presence and mafia owned casino, casino heists, gambling, etc.
North Yankton - One of the few completely new settings not featured in the original GTA, it would interesting to play in the whole state. It could feature small towns like/including Ludendorf, areas of wilderness and a large city based on a combination of midwestern cities.
New locations:
Quebec, 1990's - It could be set during the canadian biker wars of the 1990's, it would pretty much be a mix between San Andreas and The Lost and Damned.
Rio de Janero - I'd like a GTA revolving around favela gang warfare similar to what is seen in Max Payne 3.
Housten and a region of Northern Mexico - It could be similar to RDR in that it features explorable areas in both USA and Mexico. It could feature an american white or black protagonist and a mexican protagonist, could revolve around drug smuggling, border crossing, cartels, etc.
Misc. southern towns and wilderness, 1930's - Set during the depression, it could feature bank robberies, Bonnie and Clyde style bank robbers, John Dillinger style gangs, perhaps a minor mafia presence, and themes of racial discrimination, although this would be much more fitting as a Mafia game or a Red Dead spin off than a GTA game. If it was a GTA a game it could feature the children or grandchildren of RDR characters.

The Commander and the Leader
Note: Whole USA mabye Changed into Something
Idea 1: An American Southern-Midwestern-Northeastern Biome with lots of Cities, Countryside & Eastern Canada. Because it's Canada, the police are less experienced when it comes to dealing with violent crime, there will be no Ammu-Nation stores and there will be less armed citizens due to stronger gun control. Illegal goods can be brought across the US-Canada border. If the game was set 20 years or so in the past, Michael and Trevor could be supporting characters, seeing how the two met bringing illegal goods across the border in 1993. If the game took the multiple protagonist system form GTA V, each 4 protagonist could be from a different Region.
Idea 2: San Fierro & Las Venturas with Big Countryside. San Fierro is a Port City with lots of Crime & the Famous Golden Gate Bridge. Las Venturas is the Casino Capital of the World.

What would be awesome is that if GTA could be a mega-map. One of the Tex-a-plex triangle, and everything in between. That would include houston, Dallas, ft. Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Galveston, Waco, college station/Bryan, and all of the little cities along the 10, 45, 35, 290, and highway 6.
Just think about it, all the cultures and the land in the area. You would get your Mexican cartel and gang Hispanics in houston and the majority in San Antonio. Your hoods, filled with your black gangs in houston and Dallas. The energy capital of the world in houston. The oil capital in Dallas, ranching capital in ft. Worth, and your government problems in Austin, the capital of Texas. Austin is also a town of rich white people, and a college town. College station and Waco are also college towns, but those two are different, cuz there you'll find a bunch of rednecks. You can get the hill country, the piney woods of east texas, and your beaches in Galveston all in one place. The amount of diversity is unbelievable!
I hated how in gta v there was no where to fly a plane to. But there could be several with this idea, being that Dallas and ft worth city limits have two airports, houston has two airports, and San Antonio and Austin each with their own major airport.
Let's also not forget about the armed forces. The map would include fort hood, and several Air Force bases around San Antonio. So there would be several locations to steal a jet from.
I also forgot to mention about how there would still be plenty of cars to steal. Lots of wealthy buisness men and women in houston, Dallas, and Austin. Let me also mention that there are beaches in Texas. And that the Galveston bay/clear lake area is the third largest boating community in the nation behind ft lauderdale and Miami. And the houston port is one of the busiest in the world.
You can have it all in one map. But is it possible, I have no idea, I can only hope.

Also Southern Canada & Northern Mexico as well.
Yeap, and probably we will need hard drive like a 1TB or maybe more....
Also include Sacarmento, Buffalo, Tampa, Orlando, Phoenix, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Louisville, Reno, Salt Lake City, Memphis, Nashville, Pittsburgh & Jacksonville.
Then 2TB or even more

Also off topic, is it possible to edit in new options for a poll once it's been posted?
The reason being that I want to make a comprehensive poll for the next GTA location as opposed to a simple one like this.
Variety of Realistic Roads & Highways
Lots of Cars to Steal. Lots of Railroad Lines. Mountains, Forest, Hills, Deserts, Farms & more.
Variety of Places to go to.

Nelson Antonio Tapia Rios (ur. 22 września 1966 w Molinie) – piłkarz chilijski grający na pozycji bramkarza.

Kariera klubowa
Karierę piłkarską Tapia rozpoczął w klubie O'Higgins z miasta Rancagua. W jego barwach zadebiutował w 1987 roku w lidze chilijskiej i przez kolejne lata był jego podstawowym bramkarzem i grał tam do 1992 roku. W 1993 roku przeszedł do Deportes Temuco i spędził tam tylko jeden sezon, a już w 1994 roku został golkiperem jednego z czołowych klubów w kraju, CD Universidad Católica i w swoim pierwszym sezonie wygrał Copa Interamericana. W 1995 roku wywalczył z nim Puchar Chile, a w 1997 roku po raz pierwszy w karierze tytuł mistrza Chile. W Universidad grał do 2000 roku.

W połowie 2000 roku Tapia trafił do argentyńskiego Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield z Buenos Aires. Spędził tam tylko jeden sezon i już w 2001 roku wrócił do Chile. Występował w Deportes Puerto Montt, a w 2002 został sprzedany do Uniónu Española ze stolicy kraju, Santiago. W 2003 roku po raz kolejny zmienił barwy klubowe i został bramkarzem Cobreloa. Swoją postawą przyczynił się do wywalczenia mistrzostwa fazy Apertura, a następnie Clausura, w efekcie czego Cobreloa została mistrzem kraju pierwszy raz od 1992 roku. W 2004 roku Nelson bronił w brazylijskim Santosie FC i został z nim mistrzem Brazylii. W 2005 roku wrócił do Cobreloa, ale w trakcie sezonu odszedł do kolumbijskiego Atlético Junior, w barwach którego zakończył piłkarską karierę pół roku później.

Kariera reprezentacyjna

W reprezentacji Chile Tapia zadebiutował 22 marca 1994 roku w przegranym 1:3 towarzyskim spotkaniu z Francją. W 1998 roku został powołany przez Nelsona Acostę do kadry na Mistrzostwa Świata we Francji. Na tym turnieju był podstawowym bramkarzem Chile i zagrał w trzech meczach grupowych z Włochami (2:2), z Austrią (1:1) i z Kamerunem (1:1) oraz w 1/8 finału z Brazylią (1:4). W 1999 roku wystąpił na Copa América 1999, a grał też na Copa América 2001 oraz na Igrzyskach Olimpijskich w Sydney, na których wywalczył brązowy medal. Ostatni mecz w reprezentacji rozegrał we wrześniu 2005 roku przeciwko Brazylii (0:5). W kadrze narodowej zagrał 73 razy.

A: That specific theme has not been updated by its author to work correctly with GTK+ v3.6 (the version that Ubuntu 12.10 uses). GNOME is the faulty here, because with every minor GTK+ release they are breaking all the themes, wasting everyone's time.

and let me know your email address. Happy Reading!
Except for making my Houston personal trainer the psycho in my first romantic suspense (hey, I could've cut him into pieces and stuffed him in garbage bags!) there was no ME in the story. I'm not an Olympic skier, (surprise!) nor a journalist, I've never been to Aspen…it all came straight from my imagination.
Both feature a boathouse carved into a cliff-side that resembles a castle. The cliff was a shocking 30 foot drop from an expansive back lawn to the sand, which used to terrify me as a child. Even worse, the stone stairs to climb down to the beach were steep, narrow and weathered-smooth. I play the visceral fear up in the novel.
The epic thunderstorms over Lake Michigan would slam the surf into the cliff, and the reverberation would shake that enormous house to it's foundation. Naturally a scene had to occur during the savage weather!
This is actually in HI, but you get what I mean.
A significant subplot occurs surrounding an area called Rogers Park, which is a real place, my uncle lived there many years, and he was a catalyst in correcting the story's Chicago details. He and his sister, my Aunt Mary, read a full version in 2010, but sadly they've passed away now. I named them and my grandparents in the dedication.
I hope you enjoy this romantic-mystery/suspense/thriller. Would love to hear what you think!

Fight this Heartless Abomination ~ Stop Modern Day Slavery and Human Trafficking
This is a comment in response to a post seen on the page Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. This is a remarkable and wonderful page I greatly admire, love and support.
Here is the original post,
" Nicholas Kristof writes about President Obama's speech on human trafficking today, and notes that pressure from the public makes a difference:
"On the India/Nepal border, I once chatted with an Indian policeman who was on the lookout for terrorists and smuggled DVDs but was uninterested in the streams of Nepali girls passing through, destined for the brothels in Bombay and Kolkata. The policeman explained that America was pressuring India on movie piracy, so let's show India and the world that we're also concerned with enslaved children."
Please help Nicholas and the Half the Sky Movement show the world that we will not tolerate modern slavery. Share this column, raise your voice, and tune in to the Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide documentary on PBS Oct. 1 and 2 at 9pm/8pm CT. "
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/27/opinion/kristof-in-obamas-speech-their-voices.html?ref=opinion
Link Review : These former sex slaves said the president gave the voiceless a voice in his landmark speech against Human trafficking. Let's hope this is a turning point.
My response,
I greatly commend and admire the president for making this statement and I hope that this sentiment can transform into affirmative actions, commitments and much needed efforts. Without taking anything away from this I'd also like to add these few words of caution and question.
" Modern day slavery and trafficking is a sickening organized crime perpetrated on most occasions with the full awareness, cooperation and consent of authority figures and the establishment. For anyone who has gone beyond just questioning a cop or repeatedly been severe enough in reprimanding him with a slap on his career, they can with absolute certainty state that it takes a whole lot more muscle than just a speech, the assertion of political will or even its good intentions. Think of those women and girls as your own sisters and mothers, would you let this happen to them in that case.... ? "
Here are a few other messages related to this painful subject that I had posted earlier in the past few days,
Please connect with them on facebook, Trade of Innocents - the movie producer Laurie Bolthouse along with Mira Sorvino and Mr. Yury Fedotov of UNODC - United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime speaking at the Mashable Social Good Summit.
Here is the official trailer,
Please support this film and help bring to light and fight this heartless and cruel abomination,
To conclude this entry I would like to add a brief message to caution you that as we approach these elections people here in America often tend to polarize and act in a rather needlessly hostile way while politicizing certain key social issues that have nothing to do with politics but rather are demons that plague our society as a whole at all times.
Please refrain from using these or taking advantage of such a sensitive subject in an attempt to leverage support or gain votes, however passionately you may otherwise at odd times feel about the struggle against this sick, cruel and heartless abomination.
Here is another example of a stranger intrusively going for it with a tinge of extremism in their tone after seeing that independent people, voters, commentators and thinkers, are in the habit of supporting conservatives and republicans when they are caught in the right side of morality among other things.

Marisa: It hurts. But who can do anything to stop that? Pride and greed are taking over the souls and there are too many selfish and egotist people who don't care about anyone but themselves.
Me: It is not merely about selfishness or egotism, that is prevalent everywhere a man can cast his eyes around here with very few rare exceptions if any. The Truth about slavery and human trafficking has more to do with sadism, a lack of empathy, immorality and exploitation. It costs money, power and political muscle to really fight or challenge this. I am not fully aware of the situation in Canada. To my knowledge Human trafficking and slavery here in the North East of the U.S.A ranging from Virginia to the tri-state is fully linked with organized criminal rings that are extremely hard to encounter and prosecute. Collecting evidence in itself has been life threatening, a real nightmare for those who dare to care. And yes, you are reasonably right there is only so much that a cop, an investigation or a court can do but this is a tireless and ongoing fight. Unfortunately people in general are not very aware or concerned despite running several campaigns to try and enlighten and spread the message.
Marisa: Please, read this article. I went to the premier of this documentary film and I interviewed Michael Cory, the producer for my webpage, some years ago. He has been helping organizations who are fighting sex trafficking for years. It's very frustrating and yes, it's about perverts that are besides full of greed. They buy people who are not perverts but they only care about money. That's why it's so difficult to find their hiding places. And what about the men who go there and pay for raping the minors?? Yes, I'll share.

Marisa: I already shared and signed the petition. Do the same, please.
Me: Thank You so much Marisa and thanks for the reminder as well. As it is mentioned in the link review above " JaiKrishna just added signature #3,026 to the petition." Thank You for sharing. Have a nice day.
The true cause for the first initiating statement was a message posted a few minutes earlier in response to this post,
View it here,
https://www.facebook.com/CapitalismInstitute/posts/408673672521108
" .....This is why small businesses are disappearing in America. When you have high taxes, it makes it more difficult for people to keep their heads above water. "
My response : "Point well made. It's amazing how this country has changed, it feels like it's owned by another..... It has reached a point where it is very well a measurable risk and potential disadvantage staying here. From what I've seen it's only things like Family, personal bonds and these sentiments to keep on believing and having faith that keeps a lot of enterprising Americans hopeful and anchored. My sincere concern and thoughts for those keeping their heads above water."
Life is very fragile, sometimes short. There is no time to waste on such trivial matters brought out by small minded and self serving people who are looking to promote their own agenda by such means. Sometimes if not most times it is hopelessly easy to penetrate and see what is truly running through a person's mind and their hearts. It is easy to read it like a book. It is also just as easy to predict their next moves and what both their immediate and distant futures look like. Never entertain such people or such machinating agendas and thoughts when what hurts and plagues Humanity the most continues to do so unabated.
P.S : And as for those Indian border police. Yes corruption is paying and paving the way for such things. There used to be a time when these men respected women a great deal. Now thanks to western media and films and the way they use, dismiss, portray and present women, even these men have started to take after such base habits and vile values. From payrolls to households there is gender disparity almost every where here. From ads to birth control there is exploitation and abuse of women being promoted from here to the rest of the world. Leadership comes with consequences and responsibilities. Do not lead when you are bold enough to ignore both.

The fallout continues from the May 10 breach of Citi's credit card account files by hackers. The bank now says that a total of around $2.7 million was stolen from a relatively small percentage of the 360,000 breached accounts.
According to CNN, that $2.7 million only came from around 3,400 accounts, less than 1% of all those that were affected by the hack.
"Customers are not liable for any fraud on the accounts and are 100% protected," the bank said.
Who knows if this will be the final word on the May 10 incident, which wasn't made public until early June. At that time, the bank announced that 200,000 accounts had been impacted by the attack. That number was later increased to 360,000.
Citi has taken heat from critics both for waiting weeks before notifying affected customers and for the ease with which its system was breached.

How Messari Built the Leading Cryptocurrency Information Aggregator Powered by Kaiko's Market Data API
Download a PDF version of this case study here.
(4 minute read) This case study will explore how Messari, the leading cryptocurrency information aggregator, leverages Kaiko's historical and live market data API to provide a comprehensive charting and analytics toolkit for traders, analysts, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
In just a few short years, Messari has become one of the biggest names in crypto as an aggregator of information, data, and research. With hundreds of thousands of visitors a month, their website provides one of the most extensive data platforms for charting and advanced metrics for crypto assets, offering both a free tier and paid subscriptions.
Messari's mission is to provide the tools necessary to better understand information in the cryptocurrency industry. By outsourcing data management to Kaiko, they have been able to build out their product exponentially while ensuring that the backbone of their website—historical and live cryptocurrency market data—is of the highest quality and reliability.
The Problem: A Reliable Data Backbone
Messari has earned the cryptocurrency industry's trust as an information aggregator for all projects and assets. To get there, they had to ensure that their users had access to as much data as possible while ensuring that this data was high integrity.
Accessing huge amounts of data is no simple task, especially for companies whose core business is not enterprise data management. To build charting and analytics tools for hundreds of crypto-assets, you need to connect to thousands of data feeds, which are distributed across dozens of exchanges. No two cryptocurrency exchanges are alike, which makes normalizing, cleaning, and aggregating data feeds an extremely time-consuming process.
Messari needed a reliable data solution to serve as the backbone to their derived analytics, charting, and screener tools, which would allow them to develop new features without having to worry about the basics.
Messari CEO Ryan Selkis said, "We needed someone with comprehensive global exchange coverage, deep historical data, and a reliable API. As a visible brand in the crypto space, we can't afford breakages in our real time API or incomplete order book data. Kaiko has delivered for us."
The Solution: Comprehensive Data Feeds from a Single API
Rather than build out a complex data management system, Messari decided to outsource all aspects of collection, normalization, aggregation and storage to Kaiko. By integrating with Kaiko's REST API, Messari is able to leverage nearly every type of market data for use in a vast array of derived metrics, including trade data, OHLCV candlesticks, order book data, and exchange rates. This data covers more than 900 assets aggregated across dozens of exchanges, with more than 8 years of history and real-time updates.
By selecting a single source of market data, Messari guarantees that all data has the same structure and that asset taxonomies match across exchanges, creating a seamless integration experience.
12+ REST API Endpoints for Charting and Analytics
{Trade Data}: Live and historical tick-by-tick trade data, including every executed transaction on an exchange.
{OHLCV Candlesticks}: Live and historical [Open, High, Low, Close, Volume], in granularities ranging from 1 second to 1 day.
{Order Book Snapshots}: Limit order book snapshots, updated twice per minute, with every bid and ask placed within 10% of the midprice
{Exchange Rates}: A composite price for a crypto asset aggregated across exchanges. Fiat conversions available.
View API Documentation
The Results: Advanced Charting and Analytics
Access to 8+ years of historical data, real-time data feeds, and a suite of aggregated and tick-level market data—all from a single API—has enabled Messari to build one of the most advanced charting and analytics platforms in the industry.
Chart: Messari's charting tool provides access to 900+ crypto-asset OHLC charts, with optional granularities ranging from 5 minutes to two weeks (and tick-level for paying subscribers). On top of the charting tool, users have the option to add dozens of derived indicators, including Bollinger Bands, volume, volatility, moving averages, and more.
Messari's charting tool.
Screener: Screener allows users to compare customizable cross sets of crypto-assets, such as DeFi tokens or Stablecoins. Their "customize" filter enables users to select from more than 100+ quantitative metrics, many of which are calculated from trades, order books, and exchange rates data.

Impact: Unlimited and Custimizable Features for Messari's Users
Messari's charting and screener tool enables any level of user to build the interface they need to understand cryptocurrency markets. By providing both a free tier and an advanced paid tier, they have successfully built a product for either professionals or enthusiasts.
Messari CEO Ryan Selkis said, "As a crypto data aggregator, we never thought of high fidelity market data as a core competency, but it was critical to partner with a best-in-class vendor. Kaiko was in a league of its own with respect to historical data, granularity, and reliability. They've also got one of the best and most collaborative teams that we've worked with."
By outsourcing data management to Kaiko, Messari ensures that they have the developer resources to build any set of features, data visualizations, and derived metrics, leveraging high-quality and reliable data.

Founded in 2014, Kaiko is a market data provider in the blockchain-based digital assets space, providing institutional investors and market participants with enterprise-grade data infrastructure. We collect, normalize, store, and distribute digital assets market data via a livestream WebSocket, REST API, and cloud-based flat file (.csv) Data Feed, to which clients connect to build data-driven applications.
About Messari
Messari brings transparency to the cryptoeconomy. Their mission is to help investors, regulators, and the public make sense of this revolutionary new asset class, and are building data tools that will drive informed decision making and investment. We believe that crypto will democratize access to information, break down data silos, and ultimately give everyone the tools to build wealth.

Is Walmart Hiring? 7 Places Where You Can Find Seasonal Jobs for 2018
Holiday hiring is up for 2018. So far, companies have announced that they plan to fill more than 700,000 seasonal jobs this year, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That's up from about 614,000 seasonal jobs last year.
Companies like Kohl's, Target, UPS, and FedEx all plan to boost hiring over last year's levels. And with low unemployment, employers are having to sweeten the pot to attract workers. Amazon, for example, said it will pay all workers $15 an hour as of November 1, including part-time and seasonal workers.
"The competition for seasonal workers is intense, especially as companies expand their compensation and benefits offerings," said Andrew Challenger, vice president of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Who's hiring seasonal workers in 2018?

While some retail stores are struggling, like recently bankrupt Sears, many are betting on soaring consumer confidence and adding thousands of employees for the upcoming holiday season. Here are some of the companies with large numbers of seasonal jobs for 2018:
Target will hire 120,000 retail workers, up 20% from 2017, as well as 7,500 distribution center employees. Pay for new hires will start at $12 an hour.
Amazon will hire 100,000 workers. That's down from 120,000 last year. All jobs will pay at least $15 an hour.
UPS plans to hire 100,000 package handlers, drivers, and driver helpers. If you're looking to get a full-time job with the package delivery company, starting around the holidays is a smart move. About one-third of seasonal employees land permanent jobs with UPS.
Kohl's announced it would hire 90,000 new employees.
Macy's will hire 80,000 seasonal workers in 2018.
Gap Inc. plans to bring on 65,000 workers to manage the holiday rush in its Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic stores, as well as at distribution and call centers.
FedEx has 55,000 seasonal job openings this year.
Michaels, 1-800-Flowers, and L Brands (which owns Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works) are also hiring to fill seasonal job openings.
Why Walmart doesn't have any seasonal job openings
One big American company hasn't announced any seasonal hiring initiatives: Walmart. America's largest retail chain and biggest private employer hasn't had a holiday hiring push for the past several years.
Rather than bring in a bunch of temporary workers, Walmart prefers to fill its seasonal needs by offering its current full- and part-time employees more hours and additional shifts, according to Money. By some estimates, 50% of Walmart's workforce is part-time, and many of them want extra hours so they can earn more money.
Seasonal jobs don't have to be traditional retail jobs

If the idea of working traditional retail doesn't appeal to you, you're not out of luck. Plenty of other companies have seasonal job openings. FlexJobs pulled together a list of companies that are doing a lot of seasonal hiring, and it includes some employers you might not expect.
Professional services firms like KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers are hiring audit associates and other support professionals in advance of end-of-the-year tax deadlines. Vail Resorts is looking for travel agents and other people to help out during the busy winter ski season. And many companies, like Williams-Sonoma, Working Solutions, Wine.com, and Omaha Steaks, are looking for customer support pros, with some positions even allowing you to work from home.
Radial, an e-commerce company that manages ordering for companies like DSW and GameStop, is also hiring 20,000 people to work in its fulfillment and customer care centers around the U.S.
When to look for a seasonal job
If you're interested in a seasonal job, the time to start looking is now. Many companies have already started hiring, while others will have hiring events in the next few weeks.
UPS held a nationwide hiring event on October 19. Kohl's will hold hiring events on October 26 and October 27 at select stores. But even if you missed the big hiring event, you can still apply for jobs online.

Antoinette was very responsive right off the bat and wanted to make sure our day was a special as it could be. She showed up right on time to set up and really helped us understand our venue better. On top of the wonderful decorations, she was kind enough to let me borrow her fur wrap! My husband and I decided to get married in Graeagle...in the middle of March...during snowy weather LOL. She was so sweet and kind. Any one getting married or have an event in Graeagle/Reno area need to check out her website. Working with such nice people who truly care, make your event that much more amazing. Thank you Antionette for your kindness and for the fur wrap, which made my pictures amazing in the snow!!
Antoinette, the owner, is an absolute dream to work with! We hired her to put up lighting for our wedding at the Chalet View Lodge in the tent we had rented. She is super responsive, and provides great feedback on design details. She went above and beyond, going to the store to purchase another extension cord for us, to accommodate some lighting we had brought of our own as well (a large Marquee sign, and other lighting for a separate seating area) without charging us extra for it. The result of the night was exceptional and looked absolutely magical! We had such amazing feedback from all of our guests.
Also as an FYI, she also has many other really nice items to rent for really reasonable prices, though we didn't need any of them by the time we had hired her.
Overall, you can't go wrong with hiring Quesenberry Designs!
Antoinette turned our event from basic to AMAZING! She is very well-respected in the area, and everyone there knows her and speaks very highly of her work. She made suggestions for items that turned out to be very popular. We never would have thought to ask about some things, so we were grateful for her input. She transforms basic spaces with lighting, fabric and her special touch. Plus, she's a lot of fun!

The fall of Imperial Russia and the Russian Empire is a fascinating part of twentieth century history. A dynasty that lasted little over four-hundred years came toppling down at the hands of Tsar Nicholas II. The communists took hold of the once great Empire and changed Russia following the fallout of the end of the Great War.
There has been a lot of interest surrounding Imperial Russia, the empire, and specifically, the last Tsar and his family. The haemophilia that tainted the last Tsar and Tsarina's son Alexei, and their relationship with mystic Grigori Rasputin have captivated audiences during the twentieth century. This, alongside the mystery of the whereabouts of their daughter Anastasia has been the subject of numerous films, documentaries and books.
We have a selection of beautiful books in our library on Russia that are published both pre and post-World War One. This collection, in beautiful Asprey by Zaehnsdorf bindings, provide a picture into Russian affairs and the Romanov dynasty, from the view of both historians and personal acquaintances. These twentieth century works about to be discussed are from the library of Count R L Sangorski, a prominent art collector. Sangorski is best known for contributing to the John Marriot collection of Chinese Art.
In this collection, we currently have three works published before the Bolsheviks came to power. This includes Donald Mackenzie's famous work on Russian Civilisation aptly titled Russia. Wallace was a foreign correspondent for The Times and lived in Russia during the late nineteenth century. This work was originally published in 1876-7 on the brink of the Russio-Turkish war. Click here to view our listing. The second work is Angelo Rapporport's The Curse of the Romanovs; A Study of the Lives and Reigns of Two Tsars Paul I and Alexander I of Russia 1754-1825. Rappoport was fiercely anti-Romanov and this work mirrors that sentiment. Published in 1907, a decade before the Russian Revolution, the work anticipates it. As the author writes in his preface: "The eyes of Europe are directed towards Russia, the European China, where the scion of the house of Romanov is seated on his tottering throne, frightened at the phantom of an approaching revolution." This work is a fascinating read due to the insight into contemporary sentiment leading up to the revolution. Click here for our listing. The third work we have published prior to the Romanov fall is a look into Russian Society during the Imperial reign. The Fair Ladies of The Winter Palace is another work by anti-Romanov Dr Angelo S Rappoport. The author provides a rather salacious history of Imperial Russian women from their seclusion in the 17th century to their extravagant domestic dominion of the 19th century. Click here for the listing.
To provide further contextual knowledge on the Romanov dynasty and typical Russian court life, we also have an English translation of a collection of letters between Alexander I and his Sister Catherine. This collection of letters were edited and introduced by Grand Duke Nicholas and have been translated into English by Henry Havelock. Click here for our listing. Another good contextual work in our collection is the 1971 work The Romanovs The Rise and Fall of A Russian Dynasty by Ian Grey. This work has a different chapter for every member of the Romanov family beginning with Mikhail Fedorovich and ending with the final Tsar, Nicholas II.
The several works from this collection published very soon after the revolution tell an even more interesting tale. They are all written by individuals who were directly involved with the Russian court. From 1923 we have a personal account of pre-revolutionary Russia by Meriel Buchanan titled Recollections of Imperial Russia. Buchanan was the daughter of British diplomat Sir George William Buchanan. Sir George was the British ambassador to the Russian imperial court and remained there throughout the First World War and until the 1917 uprising. During her time in Russia Meriel was a nurse for wounded soldiers. This particular work provides a contemporary experience of someone involved in the Russian Court at the time of the revolution.
We have a more objective work on The Empress Alexandra from later in the twentieth century by E M Almedingen. The work is titled The Empress Alexandra. Almedignen was a British author of Russian origin who wrote many novels and biographies.
Another work written by a contemporary of the court is Gleb Botkin's The Real Romanovs. Botkin was the son of the Romanov court physician Dr. Yevgeny Botkin. Dr. Botkin was murdered by the Bolsheviks alongside the Imperial family he served. The author of this work was an interesting character who supported Anna Anderson in her claim to be the surviving Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. Botkin gives a fascinating insight into the family from another contemporary perspective.
The final work we have written by a contemporary, but issued later in the twentieth century, is the first English translation of Prince Felix Youssoupoff's memoir. Youssoupoff was married to the Tsar's only niece and is probably best known for his role in the assassination of the mystical faith healer, Rasputin. This memoir discusses the prince's justification for his actions and his role in the assassination. Rasputin was trusted by the Tsar and Tsarina and therefore had great influence in the control of late imperial Russia. During the First World War in particular, Rasputin had great influence due to Nicholas II's absence. He was assassinated by a group of conservative noblemen who opposed his influence. Many regard Rasputin as a large contributing factor to the fall of the Romanov dynasty. Click here to see our listing.
This post is only a small sample of the many works we have regarding Russian history, we have more in these beautiful bindings and an even larger range of works focussing on a wider period of the country's fascinating story so far.

Fighting Climate Change Means Fighting Inequality and Intolerance

Though it's usually regarded as a technological or scientific issue, climate change's disproportionate impact on minority communities makes it an issue of racial inequality. The fact that those who have the fewestREAD MORE
Scientists Engineer Cleaner Pig Poop
Scientists have been tinkering with the genes of plants and animals for years to cure diseases, make fruits and vegetables heartier and tastier, produce crops that are resistant to pests, drought and other scourges, or prompt fish to grow faster. In recent years, however, thanks in part to the ravages of climate change, some researchers whoREAD MORE
Blockchain: Secret Weapon in the Fight Against Climate Change
Bitcoin, the much-hyped cryptocurrency, made headlines recently for driving a surge in power use. Around the globe, digital entrepreneurs are 'mining' Bitcoins by solving complex math problems, using supercomputers to get the job done. Those supercomputers use a ton of power, which largely comes form coal- and gas-fired power plants spewing gobs of carbon pollution. But,READ MORE
Birds Are Changing Their Tune
Mike McGrann has a good ear. He can identify a bird just by listening to it sing. He also can tell from its song if it's bragging about its territory, about to migrate, or seeking a mate. McGrann shrugs off his skill — he can recognize the sounds of more than 200 species — saying other ornithologists can do it,READ MORE
Good News for Cows: Scientists Unlock Hidden Energy In Grass
Look to the dawn of human civilization and, on the horizon, you will see a field of grass. The first plant humans domesticated was likely corn or rice, both types of grass. We eat grass. We feed it to livestock. And, sometimes, we turn it into ethanol and use it to run our cars. We've builtREAD MORE
Carbon Fiber Made From Plants Instead of Petroleum
Carbon fiber is the Superman of materials. Five times stronger than steel and a fraction of the weight, it is used in everything from tennis rackets to golf clubs to bicycles to wind turbine blades to passenger airplanes to Formula One race cars. There's just one catch: Carbon fiber is made from oil and other costlyREAD MORE
Why Are There No Good Movies About Climate Change?
It's Oscar season, and Hollywood is abuzz with chatter about the year's best flicks, which include films about poverty, racism and war. Not mentioned by prognosticators is 2017's one big movie about climate change, Geostorm, a sci-fi thriller so thin on story, drama and spectacle, it earned a rating of just 13 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.READ MORE
Scientists Are Speed Breeding Plants In a Race to Beat Climate Change
Some years ago, NASA bred wheat in space with the goal of providing an unending food supply for astronauts. To help the plant along, astronauts shined light on the plant continuously. As far as the crop was concerned, the sun never set. It was always noon on a cloudless day. The extra light fueled its rapidREAD MORE
Is the Term "Bomb Cyclone" Anxious Clickbait or Actual Science?
This week a powerful winter storm covered the East Coast in a thick layer of snow. It also delivered frigid temperatures, record tides fueling monster floods, and winds close to 80 mph, leading several governors to declare states of emergency. The dangerous snowstorm is what's known as a "bomb cyclone." It's what happens when cold terrestrialREAD MORE
We're Living Better but at What Cost?
People who live in developed nations are, by many measures, healthier than ever before. Yet the planet has borne an onslaught of environmental insults — climate change chief among them — unlike any in human history. This alone threatens everyone's well-being, a conundrum that scientists call the "ecological paradox." They believe humans are forfeiting the health of future generations inREAD MORE
Power for a Population Boom
Josh Chamot X March 9, 2020
Since 2000, Washington, DC's population has surged, but its power grid has not. Instead of generators, the city added renewables and upgraded aged structures — including many federal office buildings, the city's largest energy consumers — keeping the lights on while keeping costs down for the city's poorest residents. Ted Trabue, Managing Director of the District of Columbia Sustainable EnergyREAD MORE
Reading by Plant Light
Someday in the near future you could be reading by the light of your favorite plant — no cord or electrical outlet needed. This could be a real energy-saver, not to mention great during a power failure. And it's not as far-fetched as it seems. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have successfully engineered plants to glow,READ MORE
Healthcare Institutions Across U.S. Treating Climate Change as a Top Priority
The Cleveland Clinic started thinking "green" more than a decade ago, as sustainability and energy efficiency were just starting to gain traction in serious conversations about climate change. Since then, the Ohio medical center's environmentally conscious practices have become part of its culture, with everyone getting involved. They are recycling, turning off lights and computers, plantingREAD MORE
Nature Inspires Climate-Friendly Architecture
Scientists who invent things often look to nature for inspiration. Their goal is to mimic biological systems in order to create new consumer products, or improve existing ones. The 1941 introduction of Velcro, for example, grew out of a Swiss engineer's curiosity about why Burdock seeds clung to his coat — and that of his dog — when they wereREAD MORE
The Problem With the Climate Movement? Too Much Science
Next month, EPA chief and coal-industry darling Scott Pruitt will likely kick off a 'Red Team, Blue Team' "debate" on climate science. The purpose, according to Pruitt, is to establish an "objective, transparent, public review of questions and answers around the issues around carbon dioxide," wherein a 'red team' of conservative pundits tries to poke holesREAD MORE
Making the Perfect Ice Storm
Lindsey Rustad is an ice sculptor. But she doesn't make the swans you see at weddings or corporate events. She makes ice storms in forests. Her designs, like those in nature, glisten and evoke wonder. But they also foretell danger. With increasing evidence that climate change is driving more frequent and severe weather events, likely includingREAD MORE
How FDR Fought Climate Change
When Americans think about the causes of the Great Depression, they tend to gaze back to the stock market crash, imagining panic on Wall Street and apocryphal tales of traders leaping from office windows. But reckless investing was only one factor in the historic downturn. The Depression is also a story of environmental collapse and, inREAD MORE
U.S. Hospitals Generate a Ton of Waste. They Don't Have To.
We know climate change is bad for our health. Heat waves, drought and superstorms, all driven by rising temperatures, already are causing sickness and death. But we know much less about the carbon cost of the care needed to heal the sick and injured. In fact, the medical industry produces plenty of waste from treatments, tossingREAD MORE

Secondly, the quality of 2014's music took me on a bumpy rollercoaster ride. There were awesome surprises, huge disappointments, and an unusually high number of "in-betweens" that I needed to replay several times before knowing how I felt about them. And in some ways, my #1 pick summarizes my year of music: It tips its hat to my "head-banging" past while shocking the hell out of me – in the best way possible. In fact, I don't think my SC colleagues would have seen this one coming (except for one – she knows who she is, because it's all her fault *winks*).
I've only had Lindsey Stirling's latest album Shatter Me for a couple weeks, but – wow! This is one of the coolest and most playful CDs I've listened to in a while. The amount of ground that this violin / dance music marvel (and former "America's Got Talent" contestant) covers is astonishing: turbo-charged dueling with guitars and synths ("Roundtable Rival"), mournful dubstep ("Ascendance"), evading a laser beam alarm system ("Heist"), a dance of joy from the heart and soul ("Master of Tides"), and two vocal collaborations, including the impassioned title track featuring Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. One song I keep coming back to on the mostly uptempo set is the breathtaking "Beyond The Veil." It's not a typical ballad, since it shifts back and forth between slow and fast, but my gosh is it gorgeous! The blending of synths, programming, and classical elements injects an evocative, oceanic quality. Slower sections shimmer like the water's surface above, while waves thrash from the brewing storm as the music intensifies. Then there's Lindsey's instrumental prowess. She lets her violin skirt the waves and dive deep to swim with dolphins and mermaids. Her talent rounds out this hypnotic track with the spirit and whimsicality that's impossible for vocals to imitate.
And judging from Lindsey's video for "Beyond The Veil," I'm not the only one who imagines water when I hear this song. 😀 What do you think?


On community service Robbie meets Rhino, Albert and Mo for whom, like him, work is little more than a distant dream. Little did Robbie imagine that turning to drink might change their lives - not cheap fortified wine, but the best malt whiskies in the world. What will it be for Robbie? More violence and vendettas or a new future with 'Uisge Beatha', the 'Water of Life'?

During the recent meeting of the Police Advisory and Review Committee, a question was asked about why some individuals are handcuffed before being arrested.
Members of PARC include Jenae Anderson Easterly who serves as chair, Tiffany Davidson, Frank Shanklin, Jered Croom, Heidi Barcus, Leticia Flores, Kenneth St. German and Star Starks. Davidson serves as executive director after being named to that position in October by Mayor Indya Kincannon.
The question came after the members reported on cases reviewed for the first quarter of the year including one case where the officer did not turn on the body camera. That camera is supposed to be turned on anytime an officer has contact with the public. The officer was found in violation of the city policy.
Chief Eve Thomas, meeting with the group for the last time before her retirement, answered the handcuffing question which came from Easterly, who said the incident involved a female citizen in a large crowd.
Chief Thomas said that if the reason for the arrest is made before handcuffing a subject may disagree and the situation could escalate.
"Because it is a safety issue for the officer and the public, the suspect is handcuffed first and then an explanation is provided as happened in this case," Thomas replied.
"In this situation, they could have given her a small explanation," Easterly said, adding, "Remove her from the crowd because it can cause some confusion, especially for someone who has never interacted with a police officer."
Starks read the police department's statement that officers are not required to give a reason before handcuffing someone. "Can KPD actually be trained in that area?" she asked. "I've seen incidents where people are being detained and not told why."
Chief Thomas replied that officers are not trained to give reasons before handcuffing and are not required to do so by policy.
"Every situation is different, we do a lot of scenario training. We tried to mix it up and there are times when it's good to do that, but it's not required," Chief Thomas said.
Other questions involved a new officer who apparently failed to turn in the hours he worked overtime in a court case while in uniform. Chief Thomas said that new officers are taught in the academy how to fill out the forms. She said the investigation into the incident found it was an innocent mistake.
Croom ask about the identification of plainclothes officers.
"At what point do they have to present some type of credentials?" he asked.
Thomas said that off-duty undercover officers may respond to a dangerous situation without a credential but otherwise officers will have ID on their clothes.
Easterly asked about the expected battery life of a body camera and was told by Sgt. Rachel Britt that it depends on the situation. She said that if the battery is at 44% there are four to five hours of power left on the camera. She said that officers have in-car chargers for a slow charge, have chargers they can take home and docking stations at each of the precincts. She added that supervisors carry extra body cameras if an officer's camera gets low on power or is damaged.
Easterly also asked what violation would result in an officer being suspended for more than two days. Thomas said it depends on the violation. She said she interviews officers prior to suspension hearings and the punishment could range from suspension to termination.
PARC meets quarterly to review cases and complaints and makes recommendations back to the police department.
Some cases are handled by the committee or the department's internal affairs department.

Primary school teachers work with children aged between five and 11 in both state and independent schools.
As well as teaching subjects covered by the National Curriculum, as a primary school teacher you will also take charge of pupils' social and emotional development.
Responsibilities are varied and are likely to include planning lessons, assessing pupils' work, maintaining classroom discipline and meeting with parents.
The quickest way of gaining QTS is through taking a specialist undergraduate degree in education.
However, most people get into teaching with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), with training available at numerous UK universities.
Newly-qualified teachers start at the bottom of the pay scale with salaries of just over £21,000, or slightly more in London, with pay rising with experience.
What Do Primary School Teachers Do?
Primary school teachers work with children aged between five and 11 in both state and independent schools. As well as teaching subjects covered by the National Curriculum at both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 levels, you will also take charge of pupils' social and emotional development, either on your own or with the help of a teaching assistant.
Being a primary school teacher can be tough, especially if you work in a school where discipline is an issue, though for many, the benefits (see below) make it more than worthwhile.
Undergraduate Degree: If you know you want to be a teacher before you even start university, then getting QTS as part of an undergraduate degree is the quickest way of getting started in the profession. A number of UK universities offer BA and BSc courses with QTS included, while Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree courses will also come with QTS. Undergraduate training takes three years full-time or six years on a part-time basis and to get onto a course you will usually need three good A-levels, including at least one in a National Curriculum subject, as well as solid GCSE results.
Postgraduate Degree: Most people get into teaching with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). To get onto a PGCE course, you'll need to have a good first degree in a subject area relevant to the primary National Curriculum and, in some cases, have demonstrable interest in teaching as a career. A full list of universities and higher education institutions offering PGCE courses is available through the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR) website (http://www.gttr.ac.uk/), and you can also apply for courses through the site as well.
School Direct and Teach First: Previously known as the Graduate Teaching Programme, School Direct lets university graduates of any subject, with at least three years' professional experience under their belts, gain on-the-job training in primary and secondary schools. To get onto the programme, you'll need to apply directly to a participating school. These can be found on the Teaching Agency website (http://www.education.gov.uk/get-into-teaching). If you are successful in getting a place, in return for your professional experience and skills, you will get a full salary while you train, though you will be required to work in the same school for at least a full year after you gain your QTS.
After finishing your training, you will be classed as a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) and be required to serve a probationary period of one year, during which time you'll be mentored and assessed on your work. After this period, then you can either remain as a primary school teacher or you can push forward with your career. In particular, teachers are encouraged to invest in continuing professional development (CPD), with local authorities offering regular courses on topics such as special needs teaching, IT in the classroom, pastoral care and curriculum updates.
As well as enhancing your skills and knowledge as a primary school teacher, you can also further your career by moving into management. The National College for School Leadership offers a range of courses geared towards helping talented teachers become heads or deputy heads.
Alongside teaching jobs with more and greater responsibilities, you may also progress into teacher training, schools inspections or into serving on the board of a local education authority.
Long holidays; teachers enjoy lengthy summer holidays, as well as time off at Christmas, Easter and half-term. However, you may be required to work through your holidays, for example preparing classes for the upcoming term.
The vast majority of teachers work for local authorities. If you're an NQT, then you may have to apply directly to a local authority and then be placed in a pool of candidates a number of schools can choose from. Visit the website of your local authority to find out more.
If you're already qualified and have several years teaching under your belt, then jobs for experienced teachers are openly advertised in a number of places. For starters, check out the pages of the Times Educational Supplement (TES), the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and local press.
Alternatively, sign up with a specialist educational recruitment agency such as Ranstad Education, Supply Desk or Eteach and let their consultants find you either permanent or supply work.


Under the patronage of the Finance Committee and with the support of the Canadian Governance Institute, the third workshop was held on Tuesday 16/4/2019 at the Kalgamesh Hall in Babel Hotel in Baghdad to review the draft Federal Financial Management Law, in the presence of the delegation of the Canadian Governance Institute and the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Planning.
The workshop was opened by MP Faleh al-Sari, a member of the committee, in which he praised the role of the institute in establishing courses and workshops on the laws in the House of Representatives with a view to maturing them and involving governmental institutions and non-governmental organizations in the discussions to make amendments to the laws and make opinions and suggestions thereon.
First and second and pending vote on it.

The leader of the victory coalition Haidar Abadi, on Tuesday, a message to the political forces to commemorate the fall of the regime buried, calling to realize the magnitude of the responsibilities placed on them.
"Today we are commemorating the anniversary of April 9," Abbadi said in a statement. "We recall the fall of the regime of Baathist tyranny, which only left the state and destroyed its unity, elements and sovereignty."
He added: "We also recall the anniversary of the martyrdom of the religious authority and the national leader, Mr. Mohammed Baqir al-Sadr, who vowed his life to science and jihad until his Lord met a martyr." "The message of the ninth of April tells us: injustice will not last, and that martyrdom will prevail, and that the living nations will not know the defeat, and that the survival and dignity of the people despite the infidels."


I took a chance on a marker swap with this guy and am very happy that I did.
His communication is clear and complete with supporting photographs. Shipping was prompt and well packaged. The marker he traded was well cared for and he was able to answer odd questions I had related to it.
I will not hesitate to trade with this guy again.
Sold him a P-68sc. Easy communication and quick payment. Great guy to deal with!
I paid and he ships. Great people on MCB.
Sold a 3.5oz CO2 tank. Highly recommended to deal with.
Sold a T2W / Longbow stock... easy to deal with, would recommend and easily work with again.
He bought a Winchester hopper from me. Paid quickly and great communication. A+ buyer.
Fast payment, great comms, would definitely do business with again! Thanks!
Bought a CCM thin 45 off him. Came packed well, no problems. Thanks!


�Eleanor and Park� tells the story of two misfit teens living in 1986 and the obstacles their love must overcome to survive. Eleanor is an outsider for being plus-sized and having wild, red hair. That, plus her love for comic books and reading, makes Eleanor an easy target for bullying.
Then there is her home life. Her stepdad is horrendously abusive and Eleanor�s mother is afraid to leave him. Her mom�s hopeless situation leaves Eleanor and her siblings stuck. Eleanor�s life is one that many teens, unfortunately, can relate to.
Park is half-Asian and is having issues defining himself � something we all experience at some point. Park�s situation with his family is different than Eleanor�s but still is one that teens can relate.
Park�s dad wants him to act more like a traditional �manly man,� while his mother only wants perfection from him. He constantly struggles between being himself and fitting in at school, which most of the time is complicated.
This is a beautifully written story about the obstacles that young love must fight including, school politics, gender role definition, self-discovery, domestic violence and social class � it feels like all odds are stacked against them. Their fight is quite inspirational and they are a couple you can cheer for.
Even famous young-adult author John Green agreed that he �has not seen anything like Eleanor and Park.� Read his full book review at nytimes.com.
�Fangirl� tells a different tale of self-discovery. Cath and Wren are twins who are fans of the popular Simon Snow series (A Harry Potter-esque series). While Wren is ready to move on to dealing with their freshmen year of college, Cath remains loyal to her Simon Snow fan fiction and participates in all the online forums she can.
Wren, being fed up with Cath, asks her to not be roommates in college, which leaves Cath dealing with her freshmen year all on her own. The social anxiety and loneliness start to get to Cath until her roommate and her roommate�s friend Levi befriend her.
Some of us can completely relate to Cath as a fellow introvert just trying to make it in the new, uncharted world of socialization. For example, if you take Cath and replace Simon Snow with �The X-Files� or �Star Wars,� you get me. This book was written for people like myself � nerds who try to deal with their social anxieties and life in general.
Rowell�s books have made me laugh, cry and scream for more. They are well-written and timeless and you will not be disappointed.
