Detailed Port Descriptions
DAY 1: Lyon (Embark): Arrive at Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship. DAY 2: Mâcon (Beaune): The pace of life is decidedly more relaxed in Burgundy, where endless rows of grapes hang heavy on the vine. The capital of the region's wine trade, Beaune, is renowned for its history, beauty and highly prized wine, as well as its medieval-era hospital—the Hospices de Beaune. Located in the southernmost part of Burgundy, Mâcon, a Saône River port, is your gateway to Beaune. A special Captain's Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening. DAY 3: Lyon: As the epicenter of French gastronomy, Lyon is a city of tantalizing contrasts. There's much to explore here, from the work of culinary visionaries to silk weavers' secret passageways. After your choice of excursions, embrace the locals' favorite mode of transportation with a patisserie-fueled bike ride—a great way to see the sights. Two rivers: one tranquil, one torrential. Two hills: one for labor, where the sound of the silk weavers' looms used to echo; the other for prayers, crowned by a spectacular basilica. Two cities, as different as night and day: one boasting colorful Old World façades, medieval mansions and hidden passageways; one with a sophisticated urbanity reminiscent of Paris. Situated at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, and with roots stretching back over 2,000 years to the days of Julius Caesar, Lyon is a place of fascinating dualities. Today you have your choice of ways to explore this city of contrasts: Sample its culinary riches with a visit to its peerless market hall or follow the footsteps of the silk weavers in the old quarter. For a more active option, see the city from its extensive—and lovely—bike paths. DAY 4: Tournon (Tain-l'Hermitage): If you love fine wine, you'll love the twin villages of Tournon and Tain-l'Hermitage. Whether you opt for a guided walk or a more vigorous vineyard hike, you'll also have a chance to taste the local specialty—wonderful wines made primarily from Syrah grapes. DAY 5: Viviers: Meet some new friends today in the village of Viviers; encounters that really get at the heart and soul of the French people and their culture and traditions. No matter whom you get to know—a pottery maker, a dance teacher or a local homeowner—you'll have an enjoyable and truly authentic experience, something you'll remember for years to come. An enchanting village where time seems to have stopped centuries ago, Viviers has a long and storied past that goes back more than 1,600 years—and a splendid architectural heritage to match. At one time, Viviers was divided along religious lines—the clergy lived in the upper part of the town, the laity in the lower part. Your exploration of the town will take you through both parts, as you begin at the crest and make your way to the riverbank. DAY 6: Avignon: The walled city of Avignon is one of the most fascinating towns in southern France, with a host of historic gems to explore—including the fortress residence of rebellious popes who broke from Rome and once lived and ruled here. You'll see the Palace of the Popes and much more today, and also have a chance to kayak under a 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct. Avignon is home to the medieval bridge immortalized in the folk song "Sur le Pont d 'Avignon," as well as the mighty Palace of the Popes. From a distance, the picture-perfect city center looks as though it has been lifted straight from the pages of a history book, but all you need to do is step inside its medieval walls to discover the prosperous heart of contemporary Avignon. DAY 7: Tarascon (Arles or Tarascon): Explore one of two sun-drenched Provençal towns today, each with an allure all its own. Known for its remarkable Roman ruins, Arles so inspired Van Gogh that he painted some 200 paintings there; Tarascon boasts an ancient castle, as well as a local legend about a ferocious dragon. Arles has existed since the sixth century BC, when the ancient Greeks founded it and named it Theline. It was here that the Romans built their first bridge across the Rhône River, creating a vital overland route between Italy and Spain and facilitating the expansion of their empire. Long renowned as one of the region's most attractive cities, it lured artist Vincent van Gogh, who painted hundreds of works here (including Sunflowers and The Yellow House) in just 15 months. A short distance from Arles is the ancient and charming town of Tarascon. Its many medieval sites include a 12th-century church and a 15th-century castle that is rich with tales of a beloved ruler. Bask in the warmth of the Provençal sunlight in either of these friendly Mediterranean towns. DAY 8: Avignon (Disembark): Disembark the ship. If your cruise package includes a group departure transfer or if you have purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Marseille International Airport for your flight home.

The Dark Web of Noir in "My Annihilation"
by Ian J. Battaglia
A review of Fuminori Nakamura's new novel, "My Annihilation."
Culpable Leadership in "Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers"
In many ways, we are our experiences. We wake up, experience something, react to it, consider it, form thoughts on it, go to sleep, and wake up again. This continuity of thought—memory connecting point to point to point—is one of the ways we as people come to define ourselves, according to John Locke. Novels, then, do the spectacular: allow us to get as close as possible to the thoughts of another, be it a character or the writer themselves, perhaps moreso than any other medium of art. The late, great Joan Didion described this feature of writing to be hostile: "It's hostile in that you're trying to make somebody see something the way you see it, trying to impose your idea, your picture". There's a power here, for both good and bad; which can be as connective and bridging as it can be forceful or aggressive.
These are some of the concerns Fuminori Nakamura broaches in his new novel, My Annihilation, translated by Sam Bett. The book opens with an intense warning: "Turn this page, and you may give up your entire life." It's a dark message, applicable to any piece of writing, but rarely laid so bare. The setup that follows is classic grisly noir, familiar to those who've kept up with the Japanese take on the genre. In a dingy room in a mountain lodge, a man finds a bed, a desk with a manuscript detailing a twisted individual, and a suitcase, which he presumes contains the author's body. The man has assumed the identity of Ryodai Kozuka, who he assumes is the author of the document. "Kozuka" begins to read the document, which details the author's early run-in with death, abnormal sexual development, and a dubious accident where by his hand, his sister falls from a cliff near an abandoned house they played in. It continues with a psychological assessment of an infamous serial killer, then directs the reader to a drawer where they find the key to the suitcase. Consumed by curiosity, the man opens the suitcase and finds a body; but not the one he expected. The manuscript ends abruptly: "YOU BETTER RUN".
Kozuka never gets the chance. A knock at the door dashes any hopes of escape, and he's soon shuttled into a world of psychiatric evaluation and treatment, led by two shadowy figures. There is a death at the core of My Annihilation, one character that binds all the seemingly-disparate philosophical and narrative threads together, but in classic noir fashion, nothing is quite as it seems here. Bett does an extraordinary job making sure all these pieces fit together, across tones and intents, especially in a book that aims to mislead at times. Even so, there are times where the waters become more muddied than they should be, and it can be difficult to keep the chronology and characters straight; only moreso because the idea of the "self" and assumed identities are the terrain Nakamura has chosen to explore.
Conveniently, Nakamura stocks his cast with a few psychiatrists, albeit with questionable ethics and methods. Characters have their memories altered through hypnosis, electroconvulsive therapy, and conditioning. Nakamura wonders, could a memory be taught, if only for a while? And if so, what does that do to the "self"? The results vary, of course, but it's the inquiry itself that's intellectually stimulating.
Unfortunately, as compelling as the questions are, the novel is only partly successful in exploring them. By curtailing the scope to the investigation of a death, and the following search for revenge—in other words, the purview of a noir—Nakamura is only able to go so far. Instead, My Annihilation exists in a thin stretch on the darker side of the human psyche. While it's not the darkest crime novel I've read, and the literary and psychological aspects lift the work, Nakamura doesn't shy away from delving into death, stemming from both murder and suicide, sexual crimes and deviancy, mental illness, and many more sensitive topics. While I didn't feel the novel handled anything specifically poorly, it's certainly not for the faint of heart.
That said, this dark approach also gives Nakamura some unique terrain to explore. The most affecting aspect of the novel involves Yukari, a woman whose deeply traumatic past forms the backbone of the novel, and the lengths the characters go to protect her and express their love for her. This leads the novel not only into some of its most challenging ethical territory, but also among its most emotional resonant. What is the difference between pain and pleasure, and when does a sweet lie become necessary against the brutal truth?
Perspective is Everything in "Moon Witch, Spider King"
In My Annihilation, Nakamura has constructed a dense and dark web, where characters are not only not who they seem, but not even who they think they truly are. It's a book that's more Chandler than Christie ("Who killed the chauffeur?" "I don't care!", or so the anecdote goes), but despite posing some fascinating questions on the nature of memory and self, metafictionally and metaphysically, My Annihilation is held back by it's adherence to the noir form; unable or uninterested to transcend the genre it finds itself in. The book remains compelling in spite of this, buoyed by a few exceptional and emotional moments, but ultimately settles in beholden to form rather than in opposition to it.

When something goes wrong with our essential device, the first thought we tend to have is how much it's going to cost to get a new smartphone. While that may in fact be your only available option, it doesn't really make sense to assume the worst right out of the gate. If it's possible to repair your device at a fraction of the cost, then why not see if it can be done?
Our technicians know the latest Apple and Samsung devices inside and out, in addition to other devices from other companies. We can go to work quickly to assess the current condition of your device, determine if repairs can be made, and move forward from there. You may not see the potential for your device to be repaired, but it's definitely in your best interests to let us be the judge of that. More often than not, we are able to repair devices that others would write off as damaged beyond hope. You won't know for certain if we can help, until you bring your device to our attention.
Replacing the device altogether shouldn't be your first option. Expensive repairs should not be a concern that keeps you from seeing if anything can be done. Cracked screens and water damaged devices are two of the most common problems we come across. While the severity of the damage to the device can vary, the consistency of our work doesn't.
Simply put, if you're looking for a County Cork smartphones repair company that can bring your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy device back to life – contact West Cork Phone Fix immediately.


Establishing a camp at Burning Man is difficult in itself. Planning the energy needs for a camp is one of the last things on most people's minds. Energy planning is often treated as a task as simple as selecting a tent — usually one person will say, "I have a generator," and people will bring all the decorative lighting they have along with some modest sound system, and of course a bunch of gasoline.
A more practical solution would be to deliberately plan the energy needs of the camp, starting with the desires of powered equipment and working back through converters and generators to arrive at the equipment and fuel needed. Most of all, though, the process needs to lean as far towards fun and as far away from "arduous" to encourage people to actually do it. It should also be educational, offering insight into what energy is and how much we use.
There is another subtlety to planning: the difference between energy and power. More power means more work done in the same amount of time. More energy means the same power for a longer time. With 100 watt-hours of energy, one can power a 5-watt lamp for 20 hours (5 x 20 = 100) or a 100-watt lamp for 1 hour (100 x 1 = 100). More importantly, though, many devices that convert energy from one form to another have a power limit. For instance, a generator with 1000-watt capacity can't run a 900-watt coffee maker and a 1000-watt sound system although each can be run separately. In the end, running the coffee maker for 20 minutes and the sound system for 20 minutes results in the same amount of energy whether it's 1900 watts for 20 minutes or 900 watts for 20 minutes and 1000 watts for 20 minutes.
There is also some blog entries on this project.
Fuel– Fuel is consumed to release its energy. It includes things like food, battery charge, disposable batteries, and gasoline.
Rechargeable– A rechargeable is something that can be replentished with energy from some source. Typically it would be a rechargeable battery, but a hydrogen or methane tank, or a flywheel is also possible.
Converter– A converter takes energy in one form and makes it another with some amount of loss in the process. A generator is a converter that takes gasoline (typically) as input and produces AC electricity.
Producer– A producer "creates" energy. A solar panel or windmill are examples of producers.
Consumer – A consumer "consumes" energy. An amplifier or firepit consumes energy.
The layout of the cards shall have the name of the device is in the upper-left corner, the output energy is in the upper-right, and the input energy is in the lower-left. That way, if, say, you have a bunch of lights, you can stack the cards to show only the energy input, or the reverse for energy output. The example cards are shown below, but I originally created them as a PDF file here.
The idea is that you start with your consumers — the devices you'll need in your camp. Print as many cards as you need and write in the values as appropriate. Then work right-to-left and try using a generator, for instance, and connect that card to the left. Likewise, connect the gasoline fuel card to the left of the generator and figure out how many gallons of gas you'll need.

Sayona Mining Ltd (ASX:SYA) Placement to Fund NAL Restart and Development Initiatives
Materials GeneralMiningLithium
Placement to Fund NAL Restart and Development Initiatives
Brisbane, May 27, 2022 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Emerging lithium producer Sayona Mining Limited ( ASX:SYA) ( DML:FRA) ( SYAXF:OTCMKTS) has received significant financial support for its growth strategy, with the Company undertaking a successful single-tranche placement to global institutional, professional and sophisticated investors of A$190 million ("Placement").
Proceeds from the Placement will be primarily used to fund the restart of spodumene concentrate production at Sayona's North American Lithium ("NAL") operation in Quebec, Canada (Sayona 75%; Piedmont Lithium 25%). The planned restart at NAL remains on schedule for first spodumene concentrate production in Q1 2023, with critical long-lead items secured and senior staff recruited. NAL concentrator commissioning is projected for late Q3/early Q4 2022.
The recent Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") for NAL (refer ASX release 23 May 2022) demonstrated the operation's technical and financial viability and will form the basis of a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") expected in the second half of 2022. The DFS will assess the economics of a larger integrated NAL and Authier resource base and operation.
The Placement has provided Sayona with considerable balance sheet strength as the Company rapidly develops its leading lithium resource base in North America, amid escalating demand from the electric vehicle and clean energy revolution. Sayona is also assessing the viability of a lithium hydroxide or carbonate plant at NAL, allowing for increased value-add to the operation and supporting the Quebec Government's battery strategy.
In addition to the proposed NAL restart, the Placement will also provide strategic funding for Sayona to expand and grow its highly strategic Northern Hub resource base. The Northern Hub's prospectivity is highlighted by the recent drilling discovery at the Company's Moblan Lithium Project (refer ASX release 26 April 2022).
Use of Proceeds
Proceeds from the Placement will be applied to:
- NAL refurbishment and studies (A$100m)
- Authier development (A$35m)
- Moblan evaluation and Feasibility Study update (A$25m)
- Exploration and project evaluation (A$15m)
- Working capital and offer costs (A$15m).
Sayona's Managing Director, Brett Lynch commented: "This Placement is a major vote of confidence in our ability to transform NAL into a sustainable and profitable producer of key battery metals.
"I would like to thank all our investors, both existing and new, for backing Sayona as we advance towards becoming the first local producer of spodumene in North America and ultimately moving downstream to capture even greater value-add from our expanding lithium resource base."
Sayona has received firm commitments to raise A$190 million (before costs) through the issue of 1,054,406,346 new fully paid ordinary shares ("New Shares") at an issue price of A$0.18 per New Share.
The issue price of the New Shares represents a 12.2% discount to the last closing price on 24 May 2022.
The New Shares issued through the Placement will be issued under the Company's placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The New Shares are expected to settle on Wednesday 1 June 2022 and be issued and commence trading on the ASX on a normal basis on Thursday 2 June 2022. New Shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing shares on issue.
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) and Petra Capital acted as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners to the Placement. Desjardins Capital Markets and Jett Capital Advisors acted as Co-Managers to the Placement.
Further details of the equity raising are set out in the Company's investor presentation* in link below. The investor presentation contains important information, including key risks of investing in Sayona and foreign selling restrictions with respect to the Placement.

17 – 21 October shared tips for ensuring MySQL replication quality and creating webpage galleries from the command line, while giving a tick of approval for the latest Ubuntu release.
Ronny started by sharing handy tools to ensure MySQL replication integrity, from the Percona Toolkit (a.k.a. Maatkit). The command 'table-checksum', compares the contents of replicated tables using various algorithms and can even be built into the replication process. If variations are found, he suggested 'table-sync' to correct them.
Lennart then created a simple HTML gallery straight from the shell, using a couple tools from the Image Magick project. With the help of Montage, he created a picture gallery with frames, captions and shadows. With the +Polaroid option, he created thumbnails that resemble Polaroids, tilted for a playful effect. Finally he also recommended jhead to automatically rotate Exif images.
To end the week, Marius reviewed the latest Ubuntu release- Ozelot. With Evolution replaced by Thunderbird for email, Synaptic replaced by "Software Center" to manage packages, LightDM as the new display manager, and Gnome3 offered for the UI, he gave the entire Ubuntu release his approval with a "+1".


I started with a linux box running 2.4.19 kernel with a Belkin 802.11b wireless PCMCIA card (with a PCI adapter) running as a access point. Things worked great, but the Belkin card had limited range due to the fact that it had a built in antenna. When we moved into our new house the card couldn't reach the other side of the house which was a problem.
I purchased a Linksys WTR54GS router thinking it would solve the problem. From day one it was nothing but trouble. I would sit across the house from it and it would disappear, come back and disappear again. I figured it might have a problem with the range so I added the Linksys 7db antenna upgrade to it only to have the same problem. I tried all 4 currently available firmware versions (2.06.1, 2.07.1, 3.17.4, 3.37.2) and all had the same problem. I tried multiple versions of the Sveasoft firmware (5.3, 5.4a, 6.0rc1, 6.0rc2, 6.0rc3) and all had the same problem. Even with the watchdog program that was added to the Sveasoft firmware it had problems. I thought it might be my laptop (TiBook 500), but it happens with a brand new laptop as well (G4 iBook 12"). May be I got a bad one, so last resort I bought another one only to find it has the same problem.
So I started looking at building another access point, but I wanted to add more features than the current one I have running. I wanted 802.11g/b, external antenna and wanted it to be a PCI card. I stared looking around and I couldn't find any detailed information on what cards would work. I ran into a lot of cards that claimed to work but didn't. It seems that the version one of the card used the correct chipset, but version two of the cards the chipset was changed to something that was incompatible and of course version one of the cards was hard to come.
After finding no luck on the PCI card front I started looking at the wireless access groups trying to spread wireless access across cities. Most of them are 802.11b, but a few were running 802.11g. The ones I found were running mini-pci cards on a small processor based board, running linux. :-) It seems that the Atheros chipsets and using the madwifi drivers. Most of the G wireless networks seems to be using the NL-3054MP-PLUS cards. So I found all the parts I needed: NL-3054MP-PLUS mini-pci card, mini-pci card to pci card, pigtail to connect to the card and an antenna to connect to the pigtail. Total cost seems to be about ~$135. Right before I was going to order this setup I was reading about the D-Link G520 PCI wireless card and how it used the Atheros chipset. After doing some digging I found it looked like the same chipset as the NL-3045MP-PLUS cards. What the hell, Office Max had one for about ~$55 so I gave it a shot before ordering the other setup as the only thing missing was a external antenna (which I could add later).
Ok, now everything seems to be working great!

Problem: Land use decisions at the local level greatly influence the potential pollution of water resources. Elected and appointed officials often lack an understanding about how land use plans, practices, and policies impact the community's water resources.
Solution: Minnesota Sea Grant coordinates, designs, and leads NEMO (Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials) programming for local leaders in cooperation with the University of Minnesota Extension. Northland NEMO (www.northlandnemo.org) uses approaches such as workshops-on-the-water and tools such as the Watershed Game. A train-the-trainer approach is used to increase capacity of the work and reach more geographic regions by training local and state water resource professionals and educators.
Because of Northland NEMO, hundreds of local leaders participated in programs spanning more than 25 watersheds across Minnesota. NEMO programming has helped communities along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway make progress toward a 25 percent reduction in phosphorus pollution through better land use practices. Along the St. Croix River, 89 percent of NEMO workshop participants reported that their knowledge and skills improved. Over 40 percent identified changes in their decisions and took action by implementing practices in their community. Four communities are now working with Sea Grant and Extension to revise their land use ordinances. Northland NEMO has built capacity across eight states and trained over 75 facilitators through the Watershed Game.
The NEMO Program has increased the knowledge of local elected leaders that have consequently implemented new plans, practices, and policies to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act in their communities.

ISIS Claims Responsibility for Terror Attack in Pakistan That Leaves More Than 60 People Dead
By Jen Kirby

Three gunmen, armed with assault rifles and explosives, stormed a police cadet training academy in Quetta, in southwest Pakistan, killing at least 61 and injuring more than 115 people. The attack happened overnight, when militants killed two guards and busted into the bunks of the Balochistan Academy, where approximately 700 unarmed cadets were getting ready for bed. "They were carrying Kalashnikovs and firing blindly and throwing hand grenades," a surviving cadet told The Guardian. "No one was there to help us so we fell to the ground and hid beneath our beds."

ISIS has taken credit for the attack, posting a picture of the alleged gunmen on Amaq, the extremist group's news wire. Officials have not confirmed those claims and instead initially blamed a Taliban-affiliated group, which is active in the region.

— Michael A. Horowitz (@michaelh992) October 25, 2016
All three of the attackers are dead; two blew themselves up with suicide vests, and the other was shot by security forces, reports the New York Times. Most of the victims of the attack died from the explosions, officials said, and many of the injured were hurt after trying to leap out the windows to escape the attackers.
Quetta was rocked in August by a suicide attack, claimed by ISIS and a Taliban faction, that killed 73 people, mostly lawyers. ISIS has started to carve out support in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, though security officials in the region are wary of giving the group too much credit. "ISIS is increasingly on the defensive as it struggles to defend its shrinking caliphate in Iraq and Syria," Michael Kugelman, a think-tank analyst for the Woodrow Wilson Center, told Newsweek in August, "so it has a strong incentive to show it's still relevant by taking credit for something it didn't do."
Iraqi government forces are closing in on Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city and ISIS's last major stronghold in the country. Reports say ISIS fighters are fleeing the city, headed back over the border to Syria, as Kurdish peshmerga and Iraqi troops press forward, day by day, in what will be a long, drawn-out battle to retake the city.

Minden szenzoros neuronhoz tartozik egy terület, ahonnan az adott neuron ingereket kap. Ez az úgynevezett receptív mező. A receptív mező legegyszerűbben a bőr receptoraival érzékeltethető. A mező határán belül stimulálva az adott területet, a szenzoros neuron ingerületbe jön. Mezőn kívüli stimulus nem hoz létre akciós potenciált a primer szenzoros neuronon. Egyes primer afferens neuronokhoz tartozó receptív mezők átfedik egymást, így egy sejt pusztulása nem okoz érzetkiesést. Abban az esetben, ha a receptív mezők átfedése nagy, az inger helyzete pontosabban lokalizálható. Két egymáshoz nagyon közeli inger is csak akkor ismerhető fel különállóként, ha a receptív mezők átfedésének nagy a téri felbontása.

A hát bőrében kisebb az átfedések mértéke, mint például az arc bőrében, ezért az arcon két, egymáshoz sokkal közelebbi ingert is különállónak érzékelünk, míg a hát bőrében, azonos távolság mellett, egyként érzékeljük a két stimulust.

A primer szenzoros neuron rendelkezik a legkisebb receptív mezővel, míg a másodrendű szenzoros neuron, ennek sokszorosáról kap információt. Ahogy haladunk felfele a hierarchiában, egyre nagyobbak lesznek az egyes neuronokhoz tartozó receptív mezők. Az érzékelés pontosságának és az inger lokalizációjának képességét megtartandó, az afferentációk elágaznak, több kimenetet is adnak, ez a konvergencia jelensége. Egy primer szenzoros neuron több másodlagos neuront aktivál. Az ingerek közötti kontrasztképzés megvalósítása érdekében nem csupán serkentő kimenetű receptív mezők léteznek, hanem gátlók is. A gátló kimenetű receptív mezők (inger hiányában aktívak) hatására a magasabb rendű neuron receptív mezeje beszűkülhet, így megtartva az érzékelés pontosságát az összegződés ellenére is.

The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies increased significantly in 2021, and there are many indications that this trend may continue into 2022 and beyond. Projects like Pi Network DeFi are among those experiencing some of the most notable development in the crypto DeFi industry. With this much industry hype, it is conceivable that the price of Pi Network DeFi will increase dramatically over the next few years. In light of this, this article aims to offer a Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for the years 2023–2030.
The price of Pi Network DeFi as of right now is $0.00003958, starting with the 2023 Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction. According to statistical evidence, the price of Pi Network DeFi could hit $0.00004868 as early as the first day of February 2023. If player and investor confidence remains high, it is expected that the price will hold steady through the end of 2023 and may even rise as high as $0.00006790. This would indicate an astonishing value increase of 70% over the course of the year.
1 Bullish Stance Persists in the Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2024
2 Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2025: Increasing Momentum
3 2026: Network Explosion and Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction
4 Widespread Adoption by 2027 – Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction
5 Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2028 – Widespread Publicity
6 Industry leader's 2029 prediction for the price of the Pi Network DeFi
7 Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2030: Exciting Future
Bullish Stance Persists in the Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2024
Pi Network DeFi's optimistic market environment is probably going to last until 2024 as well. This is especially true given that the cryptomarket as a whole saw a severe slump in 2022 but rebounded earlier than anticipated. As a result, a lot of market analysts think that a lot of projects, like Pi Network DeFi, have a lot of room to expand over the next few decades. The price should therefore reach $0.00010364 by the end of the year, according to the Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2024, which indicates a potential 55% increase in value overall.
Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2025: Increasing Momentum
The bullish sentiment among investors regarding the Pi Network DeFi appears poised to pick up steam in 2025. This is largely attributable to the project's expansion of partnerships over the previous two years and its highly praised technical prowess. Therefore, taking everything into account, it is expected that Pi Network DeFi will cost $0.00017524 by the end of 2025, an astounding rise of 75% over its present price.
2026: Network Explosion and Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction
It's conceivable that 2026 will be a pivotal year for Pi Network DeFi. This project has a good chance of expanding exponentially over the course of the year, partly because of the predicted network boom. Investor optimism is anticipated to grow as the network is expanded and the user population keeps growing, which might raise the price of Pi Network DeFi to as much as $0.00032156.
Widespread Adoption by 2027 – Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction
If Pi Network DeFi is successful in establishing a strong base in 2026, it is likely that 2027 will see a year of widespread adoption. As a result, the Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for this year projects a price increase of 63% to $0.00052195 at the end of the year.
Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2028 – Widespread Publicity
From a publicity perspective, 2028 is most likely to be a crucial year for Pi Network DeFi. Although the project has received a lot of press as of this writing, it is conceivable that during the course of the year, mainstream media outlets may start to turn to Pi Network DeFi even more frequently. As a result, the price of the Pi Network DeFi is predicted to reach $0.00078483 by 2028.
Industry leader's 2029 prediction for the price of the Pi Network DeFi
Pi Network DeFi may very possibly overtake other DeFi and cryptocurrency companies by 2029. For the foreseeable future, Pi Network DeFi's positive stance is likely to hold true, provided the underlying technology continues to meet investors' expectations. Therefore, it is expected that the Pi Network DeFi Price would be $0.00110332 this year, which is a staggering 41% rise from the 2028 level.
Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2030: Exciting Future
Finally, before the end of the year, the Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction for 2030 is anticipated to hit a peak of $0.00152032. It is quite likely that by 2030 Pi Network DeFi will have established itself as one of the top initiatives within the decentralized financial industry, assuming the user base keeps expanding and the network is kept safe. This would show an extraordinary 39% gain year over year.
Overall, there is a strong positive bias in the Pi Network DeFi Price Prediction from 2023 to 2030. However, as the years go by, it is probable that Pi Network DeFi will become one of the most sought-after projects within the cryptomarket. The project is currently garnering some of the most attention within the DeFi sector. As a result, the project's trajectory and price can only point to a bright future for DeFi as a whole.
What is the projected pricing range for PI Network DeFi between 2023 and 2030?
Future performance of PI Network DeFi is hard to forecast at a price of $0.00003958 right now. However, experts believe that the token may continue to appreciate over the coming few years as the cryptocurrency market regains confidence following the crash in 2022.
Does the market meltdown in 2022 affect how much PI Network DeFi will cost in the future?
The price of various cryptocurrencies may have fallen as a result of the 2022 market crisis, but it's not entirely clear what that means for PI Network DeFi. It is impossible to anticipate PI Network DeFi's performance with any degree of certainty because usual market activities are unpredictable and the company is still relatively new to the crypto world.
What variables might affect the pricing of PI Network DeFi in 2023–2030?
The demand for PI Network DeFi will determine how much it costs in major part. Its pricing may also be affected by elements including platform utilization, network uptake, new collaborations, and product revisions. The cost of PI Network DeFi may also be impacted by alterations in the market and the state of the economy.

We need to redefine what masculinity means. The traditional views on masculinity no longer works for a lot of men (specifically young men).
More importantly, we need to have more conversations that define masculinity as a plethora of options: stoic and vulnerable, dominant and submissive, confrontational and peaceful. All of these characteristics are important parts of the male experience.

If your teeth are crooked, crowded, or gapped, our dentist may recommend orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic care focuses on correcting irregularities in the teeth, especially in the alignment of the teeth and how they fit together. Smiles for life Dental Group is pleased to offer two orthodontic treatments, Invisalign®, and ceramic braces.
To help you understand these revolutionary orthodontic treatments, we have provided a series of links and some general information on this page.

Invisalign® treatments are designed as a discreet alternative to traditional braces. We invite you to call us today to schedule your dental consultation with Dr. Pooja Goel to learn more about Invisalign® and discover if it is the right option for you.
Invisalign® is a great choice for patients looking for a more discreet treatment option. It's a particularly good option for adult patients, and for those who are interested in virtually invisible orthodontic straightening treatments.
The Invisalign treatment uses a series of computer-generated aligners to straighten your smile. These aligners are very comfortable because they are custom-made from smooth, thin plastic. The aligners are also removable, which allows you to easily remove them to eat, brush, and floss. Each set of aligners is designed to make small changes to your teeth and is switched out about every two weeks. Your teeth will be gradually guided to their proper positions. You will have regular visits with our dentist to ensure that your smile is progressing as planned.

Traditional braces straighten your teeth by moving the crowns of your teeth and then repositioning the roots of the teeth. Regular full comprehensive braces with variations uses a triangular bracket design, a heat-activated wire, and several cutting-edge orthodontic techniques to straighten your teeth quicker. Ceramic braces works on moving the roots and the crowns of your teeth simultaneously, shortening your treatment time. Comprehensive braces are available in both metal and ceramic brackets; ceramic brackets are an excellent option for a more discreet treatment.


I absolutely love what I do! My goal is to make each and every individual that steps out of my loft feel like a million dollars! I do all hair types from a wide range of ethnicities. If you are looking for someone to take care of your hair, I will.

Whytney has been cutting my hair for about 3 years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. She truly cares about her clients and it shows. I always enjoy catching up with her during my visits. If you are looking for a great stylist I would absolutely recommend her!
Whytney ROCKS! My hair is healthier and more manageable than ever. I am always confident that she will listen to what I want and give me advice when I ask for it. I have seen her do beautiful hairstyles for all types of hair and all ages.
Who isn't a fan of Whytney's work. I have been seeing her for 3 years and in the first year I saw her I was pregnant with twins. My hair was damaged beyond belief. Couple hours in her chair and it came right back to life! She has an amazing talent and is a people person. I love our conversations just as much as her work! I would recommend her to anyone I know! Good luck Whytney!
Whytney is a great stylist with an emphasis on fine details. I have really enjoyed this experience.

The Audio Damage ADM15 Spectre module allows you to freeze and mix FFT spectra (Fast Fourier Transform). The module's audio path is true stereo.
The frozen frequency spectrum can be shifted up and downwards in two distinct modes of operation. With BIN shift the shift is linear (similar to frequency shifting) while the PITCH shif mode is capable of harmonic transformations. The BLUR control adds noise to the frozen FFT frame and adds stereo decorrelation and blurring effects.

Movie Review : Turning 30!!!
A good thought gone bad, the story is about Naina (gul) who lives in the city of Mumbai. She is a thirty year old and right now, she is going through a tough phase. Her relationship has gone to the rocks and along with the heartbreak, she is also facing a crisis situation in her advertising career. However, things keep moving on until she reaches her 31st birthday and realizes that it is not about fear but growing up that is important. What are those experiences and where that takes Naina forms the rest of the story.
The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the presentation was average, the narrative was not upto the mark. The dialogues were regular, the script was elongated and the screenplay was average. Background score was just adequate and songs failed to cause an impact. Cinematography is the saving grace for the film. Editing was missing at the required places. Costumes were trendy while the art department was appealing. Gul has come up with a decent performance and she shoulders the film well. Purab was neat and classy, Siddarth Makkar was standard, Tilotama was apt, Jeneva was better, Anita was appealing, the others did their bit as required.
The film comes up with a good thought and though it tends to be realistic and authentic during the first half, things take a down slope during the second half and become clich�d. With not much support from the songs, the film relied only on the sequences and some of them got dragged taking away the momentum. Though this might appeal to a select audience, it doesn't have enough power to make its presence felt. At the box office, this could be an average grosser.
Bharatstudent Verdict : Could have been better..

I've recently bought Sony Smart Watch 2 with the intention of developing apps for it (check out MelbTram).
I am quite happy with this purchase, it's really convenient to be able to see who is calling or read a message at simple glance. I have chosen Sony Smart Watch, mainly because it runs Android and supports my Nexus phone.
I have created my first app in two sessions on consecutive weekends (two Sundays). The first session was about being able to deploy simple "Hello World" app to the watch.
Then, I was following instructions from Sony Developer website and I was able successfully deploy my "Hello World". Yay!
The second sessions was about actually developing the app. The app is truly a minimum viable product, created and deployed to Play store within one day ;) The problem I've decided to tackle was "when is the best time to leave home/office in order to catch a tram?".
I've based my solution on "SampleControlExtension" provided with the SDK. Using it as starting point, step by step I've transformed it into the final form. The app is very simple. It consists of "Preferences" screen on the phone, where you setup your tram stops and routes, and simple screen on the watch displaying next 2 tram arrival times.
The MelbTram app is available for free in Google play store, check it out!

Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN (AND YOUR MAMA, TOO)
(director/writer/editor: Alfonso Cuarón; screenwriter: Carlos Cuarón; cinematographer: Emmanuel Lubezki; editor: Alex Rodriguez; music: Liza Richardson/Annette Fradera; cast: Gael Garcia Bernal (Julio), Maribel Verdu (Luisa Cortes), Diego Luna (Tenoch Iturbide), Andrés Almeida (Saba), Juan Carlos Remolina (Jano); Runtime: 105; IFC; 2001-Mexico)
"It won me over with its genuine poignancy."
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
This salty mainstream road trip film is directed by one of Mexico's premiere filmmakers, the Mexican-born but New York-based Alfonso Cuarón, and coscripted by his brother Carlos. It won me over with its genuine poignancy. It first appears to be a lighthearted romp and coming-of-age romantic comedy about two obnoxious and infantile 17-year-old privileged boys living in Mexico City who are pleasure seekers and stoners, but when the 28-year-old woman enters the picture it develops into a tale about their deeper psychological problems.
Tenoch (Luna) is an upper-class son of a corrupt big shot politician in the ruling party, his best friend Julio (Bernal) is middle-class and lives in less opulent surroundings with his divorced secretary mother and college activist left-wing sister. The film opens with the two screwing their girlfriends and making them promise to screw no one else, as they mark out the girls as their possessions.
When the girlfriends of the two boys leave with their parents for a summer European holiday, the boys are free to experiment with other females. They get stoned but do not have success meeting girls. Attending an upscale wedding celebration of one of Tenoch's relatives, where the president of Mexico attends, Tenoch meets his pompous older writer cousin Jano (Remolina) and the boys take an instant dislike to him, even spilling a drink on his white suit. With him out of the way cleaning, the boys meet his attractive dental technician wife from Madrid, Luisa (Verdu). In a playful mood, hoping to score, they invite her to a fictional beach called Heaven's Mouth never thinking she'll take them up on their offer.
When Jano calls in a drunken state to apologize for having an affair with another woman, the sexually liberated Luisa surprises the sexually immature teenagers and decides to go with them to that distant paradise beach on the Oaxacan coast. As this odd trio goes off the beaten path to where the peasants live, the beach becomes a metaphor for life, politics, class differences, love, sex, and each one's personal desires. These are a lot of topics to cover; but, filming in the style of a New Wave film, these themes pop up as a natural part of the story. But a voiceover is needed to explain the situations and what happens to the trio when they separate after leaving the beach. The filmmaker couldn't seamlessly express his tale visually without the voiceover, which is the most glaring flaw in an otherwise very perceptive and thought-provoking film.
Maribel Verdu gives a moving performance as the sad-eyed experienced woman who gives the immature macho boys a lesson in sex and in growing up. She is the life-force behind this lyrical film that has shockingly graphic sex scenes and lots of drinking and smoking pot. The sex here is more real than in most American teen films where such activity is reduced to being a tabu. And since the characters portrayed are credible, the surprising way this intelligent film concludes also seems credible.
