The Second Gaming Revolution Is Here
1st February 2019 Off By binary
Blockchain has quickly become a buzzword in daily conversation, and it's inspiring to see how far the technology has come since bitcoin's debut about a decade ago. Especially for the gaming industry, blockchain has the ability to change both the way we interact and experience games, but also offers the possibility to create new game concepts which were not possible before. Besides that, blockchain gives the ability to create tangible assets players uniquely own, stored in their wallet, secured with a private key — players are in control of the game and its assets.
Players are in control of the game and its assets.
The gaming space is full of younger players with a natural affinity for new technologies. This audience is eager to try out new ideas. Speaking about mass adoption of blockchain, the gaming industry feels like the right place to start (blockchain) innovation.
CryptoKitties has already introduced the first stage of blockchainified games. Its essence boils down to growing virtual kittens and their subsequent resale for Ethereum. Alexander Pavlov explains how the blockchain cats are created, "The CryptoKitties project uses the non-fungible token type ERC-721, which is critical for unique collectibles. If you are wondering who pays for the image of a cat, here is the answer: one who is ready to give $100,000 for a crypto-kitten. The first cat in CryptoKitties was purchased for $115,000, and in total, for one week, users spent almost $3 Million on new Tamagotchi." (1)

This leaves no doubt that people like the new mixture of blockchain and tokenised gaming.

Where is the second gaming revolution?
Tangible Assets — Decentraland
Decentraland is a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Within the Decentraland platform, users will be able to create, experience, and monetize content and applications.
The finite, traversable, 3D virtual space within Decentraland is called LAND, a non-fungible digital asset maintained in an Ethereum smart contract. Land is divided into parcels that are identified by cartesian coordinates (x,y). These parcels are permanently owned by members of the community and are purchased using MANA, Decentraland's cryptocurrency token. This gives users full control over the environments and applications that they create, which can range from anything like static 3D scenes to more interactive applications or games (2).
The content that makes up Decentraland is stored and distributed via the IPFS network while ownership and transactions are validated on the Ethereum blockchain.

MobileGo — The Currency For Game Devs
Generally, when it comes to fiat currencies, it takes game developers and producers quite a bit of time to actually receive the money that they earned through their hard work. It's not at all uncommon for this process to drag out and take weeks or even months on end.
In addition to the occasionally huge time frames, it's necessary to take into account that contractors, salaries, and equipment need to be paid off as well. Add the hefty transactional fees and commissions that accompany all fiat based operations on top of the waiting game and you've got game developers walking away with way less than what they earned and deserve.
In contrast, utilizing MobileGo (MGO) for payouts is way faster, cost-efficient, secure, and simple in comparison to other commonly used payment methods. Once funds are received, the withdrawal process is as easy as making a few mouse clicks, requires little tech know-how and you've got your funds in no more than 20 minutes. The best part? No pesky fees and commissions.
Once the MGO tokens are withdrawn, users are in full control over their assets. They can convert them into popular cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, USDT on exchanges that support MGO tokens or swap them directly for fiat currencies.
Game developers and publishers are cashing out their profits on a regular basis via the MGO token. At the moment of writing, more than 12 different game publishers with just below a quarter million dollars volume are using MGO.
As awareness rises, more teams will prefer using MGO tokens replacing fiat currencies. At the current turnover, achieving a 30% rate on Xsolla (platform to buy in-game items) will increase the current MGO volume up to $30 million per month.
eSports Meets Blockchain
Startups are leveraging the benefits of blockchain to deploy smart contracts, fuel betting, host tournaments, and ease the purchase of virtual assets, all of which help grow the eSports ecosystem.
Here's a brief overview of the most interesting blockchain eSports applications (3).
FirstBlood is an eSports platform created on the Ethereum blockchain, decentralizes tournament setup and winnings distribution. It allows players to test their skills and to bet on games without being dependent on traditional money transfers, financial regulations, and middleman corruption.
DreamTeam takes blockchain-powered tournaments one step further by creating a recruitment and management platform for amateur, novice, and pro teams. Blockchain-based smart contracts ensure contractual financial relations for all users without participation of third parties. One function of DreamTeam is to aid the development of small tournaments and secure payments.
Play2Live platform is a unique combination of interactive features and tools for monetization. This service for the video broadcasting game and cybersport content allows each participant, both streamers and common viewers, to earn (4).
GamerToken creates a global marketplace for buying and selling unique in-game items on the blockchain. Gamers can finally earn meaningful rewards for in-game activities within a developer-friendly ecosystem.
It's clear the gaming industry is already embracing blockchain technology to assist its second gaming revolution. Multiple blockchain-based projects are already enriching the space, and making it a more safe and fair place. With upcoming technologies like AR and VR, the gaming industry has much in store for the

Had a great start of the day on 31st October 2010 with light showers and cold breeze. Drove to the location with all my paintings and reached on around 9:15 AM. This full day event was held in Community Hall of Prestige Ozone Villas (Near Forum Value Mall) Whitefield Bangalore. The function was inaugurated by Mr. R K Misra (Winner of Lead India Organized by famous National English newspaper Times of India).
This was a fund raising event for autistic children supported by NGO Sunshine Autism Trust Bangalore. Various artists from the field of glass painting, handicraft got together by putting a stall at the exhibition contributing portion of there sale, and I fortunate to be one of them a contribute a bit from my side.
A Big Thank You to all My Art Collectors and Visitors without there support this event would not have been a Success !!
Congrats Riya! Nice to read the details!
Thank you Raja Sir and Padmaja ..


Don't let the title fool you, there are gonna be plenty of viable gift ideas here for the less-than-feminine folks in your world, but it's pretty notoriously agreed upon: Dudes are hard to shop for. Sure, we could go the easy route and settle for the same ol' slippers, tech gadgets, booze paraphernalia, and sports tix like we do every year but doesn't that feel kind of...impersonal? Almost like we're foisting the tropes of masculinity upon our dude folk without really taking into consideration who they are beyond that masculinity?
So I had a very quiet day in with the boy and made a simple but Thanksgiving-inspired dinner. There weren't many happenings with either of our families this year so we elected to stay home and just chill out.

Curbing Uncivil Behaviour : Collective Action Required
Many people nowadays, have either consciously or unconsciously interpreted the various freedoms enshrined in the 1990 laws in Cameroon as permission to indulge in any activity regardless of its moral, social, economic and development consequences to the nation.
The logical consequence of the misleading interpretation of the laws and government's appeasement and administrative tolerance policy is the continuous deepening of the culture of uncivil behaviour that is eating deeper and deeper into almost all fabrics of the society. The road transport, educational, communication, urban development, hygiene and sanitation and security sectors are characterised by soaring cases of uncivil behaviour where almost everybody is king and does whatever pleases them without any regard to collective interest and order in the society. The perpetual traffic jam in major towns of the country and numerous accidents are largely due to the uncivil actions of the various actors of the road sector who indulge in violating the laws in force with impunity. The country's towns are littered with dirt, anarchical construction and occupation of public space. The educational milieu is filled with a myriad of ills such as examination fraud, corruption, taking of drugs and all sorts of immoralities.
All these uncivil acts are at variance with the "Exemplary Cameroon" the Head of State, President Paul Biya has been preaching and aspiring for as the country drives towards the attainment of the emergence vision by 2035. The way of life has to change with a complete U- turn in the direction the society is drifting to if the present generation wants to bequeath a better Cameroon to posterity. The culture of civic behaviour has to once more become the norm to be passed down to future generations in Cameroon. Development starts from the mind through moulding individuals who will logically undertake palpable actions capable of shaping the society with clearly spelt out objectives.
Fighting uncivil behaviour has to be a national cause that requires integrated and collective actions by the stakeholders of all the strata of society. Actors of diverse socio-professional sectors have been struggling at their levels to instil sanity in the conduct of activities. The case of actors of the commercial motorbike sector is palpable but the actions carried out in isolation cannot yield the desired fruits. All sectors are cross-cutting and tackling uncivil behaviour calls for integrated approaches with roles clearly indicated and each actor playing its role in a flawless manner.
Government on its part has engaged in actions to tackle the ill of uncivil behaviour. There is the introduction of Citizenship as a subject taught in the Basic and Secondary Education Sectors. The courses offered are intended to inculcate moral values in the pupils and students, train them on the symbols and laws of the State and the need to respect the laws of the land. At the macro level, President Paul Biya created the National Civic Service Agency for Participation in Development. Placed under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Civic Education, the structure aims at ensuring that young people in general participate in the maintenance of civil and moral values, peace, living together, social cohesion, development and contribute in fighting all the excesses that have characterised the society.
The government has been carrying our awareness creation campaigns among the youths in order to curb the uncivil behaviour. The campaigns do not have to be intermittent but permanent with a specific calendar for more palpable results to be achieved. Besides the awareness creation, government has instituted programmes and projects to facilitate the socio-professional integration of youths. They are designed to convince the youth to avoid deviant attitudes and immoral actions and directing them to positively contribute to nation-building.
Considering that uncivil behaviour is a scorch in society, it is time the civil soci...

Axed Alexander Forbes CEO Andrew Darfoor has defended his track record at SA's largest pension fund administrator.
"The company reported tangible progress across a broad number of key metrics of the Ambition 2022 strategy," Darfoor said.
"I reiterate, I am not happy about the outcome and I will deal with it in due course."
Darfoor also said he had achieved the set targets for expense efficiency two years ahead of schedule.
He also said the direction in which he was taking Alexander Forbes had been approved by the board before he was mandated to implement it, and was again endorsed by the company in March 2018 when it reported its financial results.
Despite some missed targets, Darfoor pointed out that there had been improvements in revenue growth and profit, while the key areas of the turnaround strategy, including retirements and investments, had also grown satisfyingly.
Shareholders, including Patrice Motsepe's African Rainbow Capital, have communicated dissatisfaction about the firm's financial performance and the direction in which Darfoor was leading the company.
Alexander Forbes's share price has dropped 14% over the past two years as key personnel left and the company's return on equity declined to less than 10%.
But Darfoor's dismissal with immediate effect shocked many, and raised questions about whether there was more to it than met the eye.
The market cheered the news, sending the group's share price up as much as 8% in intraday trade on Tuesday, its highest level in three months.
This momentum carried through to Wednesday, with the share rising to R5.20, before closing 0.2% lower at R4.95.
Asked if there was more to Darfoor's dismissal than the company's financial performance, Alexander Forbes chair Nonkululeko Nyembezi said on Wednesday details of his termination were confidential.
Alexander Forbes's largest shareholder, Marsh & McLennan Companies, also declined to comment on the matter.
Head of research at Benguela Global Fund Managers Karl Gevers said that just looking at Alexander Forbes's financial performance alone, the board seemed to be justified in terminating his contract.
"From the numbers, the execution of the strategy is questionable," he said.
"Even though cost cutting may have been ahead of plan, that would have been the easier part. It will be interesting to see if the board continues with the strategy under new leadership," said Gevers.
Alexander Forbes has seen several top management changes in just two years.
Darfoor's predecessor, Edward Kieswetter, resigned suddenly to take early retirement in February 2016.
Darfoor replaced him in September 2016.

Bones of a Saint (Hardcover)
By Grant Farley
Not On Our Shelves - Available to Order
Set in Northern California in the late '70s, this timeless coming-of-age story examines the nature of evil, the art of storytelling, and the possibility of redemption.
Fifteen-year-old RJ Armante has never known a life outside his deadend hometown of Arcangel, CA. The Blackjacks rule as they have for generations, luring the poorest kids into their monopoly on petty crime. For years, they've left RJ alone, but now they have a job for him: prey upon an old loner in town.
In spite of the danger, RJ begins to resist. He fights not only for himself, but for his younger brother, Charley, whose disability has always made RJ feel extra protective of him. For Roxanne, the girl he can't reach, and the kids in his crew who have nothing to live for. Even for the old loner, who has secrets of his own. If RJ is to break from the Blackjacks' hold, all of Arcangel must be free of its past.
Grant Farley worked as an English teacher for over twenty-five years and has taught at a Santa Monica alternative school, a barrio junior high, and a Marine Science magnet in San Pedro. All the while, he worked on Bones of a Saint, and excerpts of the book have appeared in various literary magazines and been showcased at a number of writers conferences. Then one day his awesome wife insisted that he retire, which is when RJ's story really took off. Now he writes full-time and volunteers at a lighthouse.
A Booklist Top 10 Historical Fiction Youth Book of 2021
Praise for Bones of a Saint
"Grant Farley's Bones of a Saint is an atmospheric read—a niche world of small gains with tragic consequences. The story reads fast and tight and colorful and your eyes always feel low to the ground. The dusty landscape and every object and every person, and even hope itself, pulls you forward toward an ending that is like the sting of a scorpion."
—Newbery winner Jack Gantos
"Bones of a Saint reads like a dream—I found myself muttering the word 'wow' over and over as I read. My favorite stories are coming-of-age ones that find a new way into the teenage struggle, a new lens through which to view the fight for one's innocence against the adult world's corruption and chaos. Bones of a Saint is exactly that, but there's something else—a grittiness and an honesty that earns the reader's trust from page one. It's like nothing I've read in years."
—John Corey Whaley, National Book Award finalist for Noggin and winner of the Printz Medal for Where Things Come Back
"Surreal but at the same time so real, and intensely meaningful. This is the kind of book no one writes anymore, but that everyone wants—and needs—to read."
—Maggie Thrash, Los Angeles Times Book Prize nominated author of Honor Girl
"Bones of a Saint is one of the best novels in any genre that I've read in years. It frightened me, thrilled me, and delighted me. An indelible setting with unforgettable characters."
—Timothy Hallinan, author of the Poke Rafferty thrillers and Junior Bender mysteries
"[A] unique and fabulous voice."
—The News-Gazette (Champaign–Urbana)
"[T]his deftly crafted coming-of-age story set in Northern California in the '70s is an inherently absorbing and fully entertaining novel."
—Midwest Book Review
"A celebration of the power of story . . . This ambitious debut invites serious contemplation as it examines the role of religion, a connection to The Canterbury Tales, and more . . . A compelling, unforgettable reading experience that is brilliantly executed."
"[RJ's] evocative, unflinching narration keeps the pages turning . . . this suspenseful coming-of-age tale packs a punch."
"RJ's candid voice will engage contemporary readers in this atmospheric coming-of-age tale that effectively knits together storytelling, religion, morality, redemption, and heredity."
"[Bones of a Saint's] literary writing style [sets] it apart from other young adult novels."

Even if that were a proper definition (it's not) you're hilariously hypocritical in essentially saying that Climate Change has had no knowledge gained through study - it has.

i am having trouble some of the rows are not displaying properly in windows xp,
this program is build in Win 8, WPF .net framework 4.0,3.5,4.5.

Am i missing something?
how to solve this.

at code behind i am just filling itemsource of DataGrid with List.
on windows 7,8 i am not having this issue.
this only happening in Windows XP.
Thanks.

A: It is because you are setting values for margins and possibly height and width too. Windows XP treats this differently to windows 7/8 and so displays it differently.
You should remove these xaml attributes and you can use alternative methods for positioning and sizing, such as placing the datagrid into a grid cell and setting width via the Grid.ColumnDefinitions and height via Grid.RowDefinitions. Then use vertical and horizontal alignment for setting margins (which is relative to the grid cell). You can then assign the datagrid to a margin via its Grid.Column and Grid.Row attributes.
Let me know if you need an example and I'll update this accordingly.

Merge branch 'fix-autoconf-exitcode' Various plugins still followed the old (before 2009?) convention of using a non-zero exitcode for indicating "no". Most of these (obvious) occasions should be fixed now.
Restructure incomplete or broken "autoconf" implementations Some plugins with non-zero autoconf exitcodes (it must be zero instead) deserved a bit of code cleanup for improved readability.
Remove unused "autoconf" handling from plugins without this capability Some plugins contained code for handling "autoconf" (always returning "no") but did not announce the respective capability via the magic marker.
Improve incorrect or unspecific output for "autoconf" Some plugins emit wrongly formatted "no" messages or lack the "yes" message on success.
Merge pull request #933 from sumpfralle/plugin-feinstaubsensor Add plugin "feinstaubsensor"
Fixed user detection. The USER environment variable is not populated when the plugin is executed. Switched to checking the effective user.
Plugin asterisk: fix typos for "unknown" dataset The "draw" configuration as well as the "value" were ignored.
Plugin postfix-rbl-blocked-mails: count by top-level-domain It looks like the spamhaus domain changed from sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org to zen.spamhaus.org. The same may have happened for other RBL domains. Thus we just filter by the top level domain (instead of the specific sub-domain).
Update multibandwidth bing have some random spikes. Added a variable that is used to indicate the maximum value of mbps that can be recorded (in bps).
Add trailing slash to VHOST_DIR when building vhosts_all.conf If VHOST_DIR is a symbolic link to another folder, no files will be found, resulting in an empty vhosts_all.conf. A trailing slash ensures find will properly resolve the symbolic link before searching.

sshd_log: allow both types GAUGE and DERIVE, default to GAUGE In fact for journald mode internally it really is type ABSOLUTE, because we use journald cursor to get only new logs on each collect. It results in the same value as with a plain log file and type DERIVE: it's the rate of events. type=DERIVE is best for servers with lots of ssh traffic.
sshd_log: allow multiple journalctl args Useful for multiple filtering. At the cost of not being able to pass spaces properly in args, but that's uncommon.
sshd_log: use DERIVE datatype and support logs from journald too Now shows the number of events per time unit, instead of a counter always increasing until logrotate. To use journald, set env.logfile to special value 'journald': It will read the sshd logs from journalctl _COMM=sshd. To configure the source of journald, set env.journalctlarg: Example: "env.journalctlarg --unit=sshd.service"

Traveling the world is an activity many can only dream of; to go on trips to countries and cities across the globe and really embrace the culture, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. However, there are some caveats that come along with the lifestyle.
1. Once you start, you will never be able to stop.
This one is probably not that big of a surprise, but it is 1000% true: once the travel bug bites, it never lets go. For me, it started in 2014 and has yet to stop, I travel as much as possible and when I'm not out on the road, I'm thinking about how and when I can get back out there.
Traveling, in my mind, is a lifestyle, and not one for the faint of heart. It'll take you places you never thought you'd see, and put you in situations you'd never thought you'd experience. Traveling has made me homeless, it's made me hungry, it's made me take risks, but above all else traveling has made me discover myself. It has helped me find the traveler within, the one who never wants to stop, who wants to push the limits, and experience all the world has to offer before I lose the chance.
It's no joke when you hear people say that "traveling is an investment," because it is. Traveling isn't the type of "investment" that you probably hear about everyday though, it's an investment in one's self. With that being said though, traveling does take a bit of money. Whether it's a plane ticket, a hostel stay, or a nice meal, being a world traveler drains the bank account pretty quickly.
There are ways to save money while Traveling (See some tips HERE), but there's no way around spending at least a little bit. At the end of the day you will be happy that you did, even if your bank is calling to tell you that your account has run dry.
I alluded to this earlier, and it was one of the biggest realizations I had after returning from 6 months backpacking around Europe; even when the trip ends, you're constantly looking towards the next. It has happened with me countless times. I'll return from Europe or Asia or the Caribbean after a trip, and will immediately jump on the computer to look up where I'm going to go next.Even now as I am writing this, I am thinking about what country to visit next!
There are ways to fulfill your travel desires without having to hop on another flight right away though. Look up cultural events in or near your own city, take a short road trip to a nearby place you've never been, WRITE A TRAVEL BLOG ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES! All of these (but especially the last one) are ways I satisfy the wanderer's spirit inside, and they can help you too.
It isn't easy coming back to reality after a long trip abroad, if anything it makes life even harder. To have to go back to normal life after being out on the road seeing and experiencing places you never knew you would is no simple task. But with a little effort, you'll be able to satisfy the traveler within even while sitting a your day job back home!
Bon Voyage and Carpe Diem Amigos!

Honor 8 vs Galaxy S7 – Which did I Choose?
This is a quick opinion piece on what phone I came from and which one I'm going to. This is my OPINION not a spec shoot out or a scientific test. I came from a Nexus 6p and tried real hard to love the size of the phone but it was just too big for me. I like a pocket-able phone that can be used one handed quickly. So I ended up buying an Honor 8…. It seemed to be kismet given the timing of my decision to buy a new phone and the Honor 8's release.
The Honor 8 wins' hands down on everything from fingerprint sensor to looks. I will say the stock launcher is a little worse than the Galaxy IF you are already used to using android. If you are coming from iOS, I think it's a great UI to start with. I personally use google now launcher for all of my phones. Did I mention this phone is beautiful? It really is, there is something about it. The day to day is nice, fast fingerprint recognition which is akin to my 6p, "smart button" features are awesome, and I have no problem getting through a day on a single charge.
Then came the S7. It quite literally fell in my lap and after a few days of use I came to realize the S7 is the phone for me. Mainly due to the ridiculously fast camera focus, IS, and just a touch smaller which works for my hobbit hands. The fingerprint reader feels clunky and only works about 60% of the time on the first try… I will really miss USB-C as well. For me it was all about the camera. I have a 5-year-old and it's hard enough to get a shot in time without having to worry about good technique and focus prediction.
Anyways, I'll be selling my Honor and keeping the S7… Which tbh kind of hurts just thinking about it. But I know someone will really enjoy the phone and I don't want it to sit in a drawer for the foreseeable future.
Re: Honor 8 vs Galaxy S7 – Which did I Choose?
Thanks for sharing your conclusion and thoughts.
In the end, you just have to do what works best for you and your life. It sounds like the s7 will do just that for you, and I hope that you'll enjoy it and that it will be ideal for those moments with your child and your life in general.
Use whatever you like best! I do agree that the camera on the s7 is wicked fast.nothing comes close.
I am glad you found the phone that works for your needs. I had a S7 earlier in the year and now have the Honor 8. Both are excellent devices.
I too have a young kid but who is at a age now that I can manage with the Honor 8.
Hah! I just realized I can't put it up for sale here quite yet. I dont have the post count.... which is weird cause I've been a member for a while.
Keep helping folks out in the Honor 8 forums and in no time you will be at 50 posts. Also try Swappa.com.
S7 is really a great choice. I too love clicking on my smartphone and if you ask me I would also choose the galaxy S7 not for it's comfort in holding but only for its camera. It's a great phone with all the features it has to offer. You have to see which phone suits you the best and I think you just did the same.
What did you like best about the s7 camera?
Thanks for the heads up on swappa. I do need to start getting back into forums.... I got burnt out back in the gingerbread days.
Yep that was the big turning point. I got on upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread and half my stuff stopped working! It was on the HTC Inspire 4g (But really wasn't 4g! Stupid ATT and back hauling.....). Before that I was had a few windows mobile phones like the HTC tilt and diamond.
@burtonvdp - thanks for sharing your thoughts! I do agree with you on the fingerprint sensor for sure. On the Honor 8 it's BLAZING fast!
Per a suggestion I posted the phone on Swappa. Is there any rules about putting a link up to the sale?
Got you beat, mine was éclair.
Yes, can't post a link to an external site especially for sale items. Good luck though, it will sell quickly on Swappa.
I sent you a PM or private message on AndroidCentral, I have a friend who is looking for one after drooling over my Honor 8. Let me know. Thanks.

Commercial Corner: Holley Drakeford
Holey Drakeford, President, The Drakeford Realty Group LLC
Holley Drakeford is the president of The Drakeford Realty Group, LLC specializing in commercial leasing and investment sales, primarily in the Harlem market, but with operations throughout the five borough area.
Drakeford started his commercial real estate career in 2009 as a senior broker with Giscombe Realty Group, one of Harlem's leading commercial real estate management, consulting, leasing, development, and brokerage firms founded in 1982 by Eugene Giscombe, who was known as "the Mayor of 125th Street."
Drakeford Realty represents owners, developers, financial institutions, national franchises, not-for-profits, pension funds, government agencies, and other private business owners looking to buy, lease, or manage both retail and office space in Harlem and throughout New York City.
Drakeford is an active member of Harlem's Community Board #11, where he is a member of the Economic Development Culture and Tourism Committee, as well as the Land Use and Landmarks committee.
He is also a member the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) where he serves on several committees, including the Uptown Real Estate Brokers Committee, the Leasing Brokers Committee, and the Northern Manhattan and the Bronx Commercial Committee.
How long have you been in the business?
I have been in the real estate business for eight years.
What made you decide to get into real estate?
This was a second career after being in the computer industry for several years.
What pushes you to the next level?
The market is constantly changing and reflects our changing society. To be successful, an individual must be on top of changes. Just knowing property comps and real estate development is not enough.
Interest rates go up and lending goes down and development in new projects starts to decline, but there are always new opportunities to explore. It's all about taking advantage of the changing environment, which requires those in the industry to push themselves the next level.
Who inspires you?
The thousands of individuals that start every day with the need to create, continue, and complete transactions on a regular basis in this profession of uncertainty.
If you had to work in a city other than New York, where would it be?
Miami or Los Angeles. The winters are wearing me out.
What's the best piece of advice you would give to someone starting in the business?
There are no instant success stories. You start out with nothing and you are given the opportunity to create a sustainable income. It's not an easy job, but if an individual stays in the game long enough they can prosper and make a career in real estate.
How have you seen the real estate industry change since you began your career?
I have seen the market bottom out and then come back with more residential development and brick-and-mortar rents going sky high.
What does the future hold for the NYC real estate scene?
There will be adjustments in commercial rents and higher interest rates will slow down new development. Northern Manhattan will be the new Nassau County and the Bronx will be the new Suffolk County, all caused by the City's inclusionary housing program. New York City is for the young and the rich, of which there will never be a shortage.

The Chipotle logo is seen on the door of one of its restaurants on January 11, 2015 in Washington, DC.
Chipotle hasn't exactly had a smooth year so far—first there was a norovirus outbreak, and now it seems they can add another lawsuit to their growing roster. This time, a former employee of the burrito chain won a $550,000 suit against the company over claims that her manager discriminated against her for being pregnant.
According to the Washington Business Journal, Doris Garcia Hernandez won $550,000 in damages for her former manager's conduct in Chipotle's D.C. location. The lawsuit stated that Garcia's manager, called "David" in the documents, monitored her bathroom and water breaks before terminating her.
"Upon learning of her pregnancy, David told Ms. Garcia that she had to announce to every employee in the store when she was going to the bathroom and that David would have to approve her bathroom breaks so that he could cover her work position for her," the suit stated, according to the Washington Business Journal.
Garcia was later fired in front of her coworkers after leaving work to go to a doctor's appointment.

Fix? no

while the machine was still running (-n), it reported a couples of failures, so we called the hoster of the VM to shut it down and do an fsck with the unmounted disk.
The hoster said there are no FS errors reported by fsck, he attached an screenshot.
As the VM was up again, I repeated the fsck and got the same results.
Do the results differ because the filesystem is still mounted and is kind of "inconsistent"?

A: The answer is YES.  fsck assumes an unmounted, unchanging disk and that it has full control of the disk.
There are several passes that fsck uses, and these feed into each other, with the disk changing all the time, it is LIKELY that false errors are going to be registered.
I'm curious as to what information you feel you are getting by fsck'ing an active disk?

A: You can use the free Hot Copy utility to snapshot and fsck a mounted filesystem to see if it really needs repair. You should NOT fsck an already mounted system in the manner you did.
hcp --skip-mount /dev/sda1
fsck -a -y /dev/hcp1

Please see: Unable to list contents/remove directory (linux ext3)
My guess is that you don't need repair at all. There are a world of issues that could result in poor I/O, though, spanning kernel scheduling algorithms to failing disks to lack of a quality RAID controller with write cache.
Can you provide more information about your setup?

Q: Tabular column not matching up I'm trying to create a document showing how two numbers are added, focusing on moving from the ones column on up, but for some reason, my tabular environment's columns are not matching up with my actual input. I've declared three columns, yet my second declaration is adjusting my third column.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rp{1cm} rp{1cm} rp{1cm} }
2{\color{red}{2}} &  & {\color{red}{2}}2 \\
+1{\color{red}{3}} & $\longrightarrow$ & +{\color{red}{1}}3 \\
\cline{1-1} \cline{3-3}
{\color{red}{5}} & & {\color{red}{3}}5
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

I'm trying to use the right arrow to show how we move from the ones column to the tens, so I figured I'd just assign it its own column. Yet the spacing is a little off, and when I try to turn the second rp{1cm} into c{1cm}, it messes up my third column. What's even weirder is that the \cline command places the line in the right place...

A: You have six column specifications, but using three, the first and third are right justified, the column in the middle centered:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rcr}
2\textcolor{red}{2} & & \textcolor{red}{2}2 \\
+1\textcolor{red}{3} & $\longrightarrow$ & +\textcolor{red}{1}3 \\
\cline{1-1} \cline{3-3}
\textcolor{red}{5} & & \textcolor{red}{3}5
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}

This yields (image added by azetina):

The difference {\color{red}{...}} to \textcolor{red}{...} does not matter,
I have only used \textcolor because it is easier to read (less braces).

See Karen Moorman's detailed review of this CD.
Kvitko is also a prize-winning recording engineer, and a composer (incidental music for Steven Dietz's "Dracula"), who has an interesting and good début recording of works he has adored since childhood (pp. 3-4), whose scores he edited to improve on existing ones (p. 5): Mozart, Post Scriptum, Concerto in D minor, No. 20, K 466, Rondo in D, K 382, Rondo in A, K. 386, piano (Steinway D274; serial # 605417, 2017, courtesy of Kvitko), Madrid Soloists Chamber Orchestra, Tigran Shiganyan, conductor, Blue Griffin (of which he is founder and owner) BGR 897, © 2021, TT 55:50, $15.99 from the label. The "Post Scriptum" refers to his "want[ing] the entire CD of these frequently recorded works to be full of surprises" (p. 5) with new cadenzas for all of them, something that he has been doing since childhood, some of which he thinks he has recreated, and "Easter eggs, and unexpected quotes" added in (p. 5), somewhat reviving the practice of musicians of that time improvising small parts of the work as they played it.

(Listings: CDs in chronological, contents in alphabetical orders)
The viola is the alto voice in the violin family of bowed string instruments that was developed in Cremona, Italy, beginning in the 16th century, but mostly evolved in the 17th, ultimately displacing in listener preference the earlier viol(a da gamba) family that had developed and evolved from the Middle Ages in Western music, and from which it adopted the "waist" between the top and bottom of its body to make bowing easier without the arm touching it in the process. There is something of a similar family in Eastern music, with which I/we are not thoroughly familiar. If you read the listings, you know that the French name/word for it is « alto » (Yes, the punctuation, spaces incl., is the correct French form for a quotation.).
It is also often the neglected and un(der)appreciated "step-sister" member of its family, with much less solo or chamber music having been written for it, so much of that which is performed on it is transcribed from music composed for another instrument, or another voice in its family, or even for a human voice, as the title of the first CD suggests (three of its works are arias; seven on Mosaic's program are songs, and one in the fourth CD is three songs with viola as part of the original accompaniment); these four CDs include some music in all those categories as well as some written for it, in the past and present, hence my including them in the group, and all are played by fine violists of different genders and nationalities. Some works on all the programs are Baroque forms or dance rhythms, and one is an Argentinian dance. Nearly all of those on Kang's are new transcriptions.
The Bridge-Britten CD is special, a stunning, unique one, to be cherished for all time! Everything about it is magnificent, a communion/convention/crossing of the stars: composers, musicians, performers, music, and works. Britten was a private student of Bridge (he once said: Bridge's "loathing of all sloppiness and amateurism set me standards to aim for that I've never forgotten." [p. 8]), who gave him the instrument when he left for the USA on a tour at the beginning of WWII; they never saw each other again. Both also were inclined to write music like the modern Continental type, rather than "the conservative styles favoured by the British musical establishment, in particular the innovations of Schoenberg and his pupils Berg and Webern." (p. 8). Britten wrote the Lachrymae for William Primrose, to whom it was dedicated and who performed the première with Britten at the piano. Mervyn Cooke's booklet notes are thorough.
A few of the works (Vieuxtemps' Sonata and Britten's Lachrymae) on some of these CDs are to some extent 'chestnuts,' in the sense that there are several recordings available, and are performed live from time to time, but most are much less frequently heard. The composers of the second are all women, and three of the violists are women, for two of whom it's their début CD. It is interesting that another sonata that is perhaps a bit more of a 'chestnut,' Rebecca Clarke's, is missing in this particular group, though she is represented by three others of her works for viola. It is also interesting (and relatively unusual?) that not a single work appears on more than one CD. They are, consequently, very different from each other, making them yet more a varied sampling for introduction and listening. Two missing composers are Paul Hindemith (1895-1963), also a violist, who wrote seven sonatas, four of them solo, and other works involving the instrument; he also founded and played viola in the Amar Quartet; and William Walton (1902-1983), who also played the viola and was professor of it at the Royal Academy of Music after 1900, whose frequently performed and recorded viola concerto (1938-39) was written for Lionel Tertis (1876-1975), a famous violist now forgotten, but premièred by Hindemith.
The viola is perhaps the bowed instrument of the violin family that can vary the greatest proportionally in the size of its body; it is between 13 and 16 inches long, that being the average length, so 1 to 4 inches longer than a violin, which is part of why its range is also greater than those of the other members of the family, and is also part of the warmth of its tone(s), and those of the larger ones are often still deeper and warmer: Tertis' first one was a large 1717 Montagnana that was 17 1/8" long. But it is also less 'flashy,' more like light rather than lightening, which likely explains why it is less popular than the violin or the 'cello with the general public; in a way, it's a more reliable companion who always delivers. It also pairs particularly well with the oboe. If you listen closely, you appreciate and like it more and more. It has become, slowly but surely over my 60+ years of listening, exploring, and collecting recordings since I first discovered classical music in my freshman year of college in the fall of 1958, my favorite member of the family. It might become yours, too, if you give it a chance and a try. These CDs are a good starting point; they all feature fine musicians, several new to the art; I chose them thus (three [+ the performer-related piano one] are recent releases) deliberately to have a good cross-section to sample the instrument's literature.
Other composers were partial to the viola, even though they didn't play it, and composed works for it, in particular: Hector Berlioz (1803-1869), who wrote what is in effect the first concerto for it: Harold en Italie, Op. 16, (1834): he wrote about it very favorably in his Grand Traité d'instrumentation et d'orchestration modernes, Paris: Schonenberger, 1843, Chapt. 3, « l'Alto », pp.34-37 (pp. 52-58 in the 2003 Bärenreiter edition, ed. by Peter Bloom, Smith College Music Dept (retired); he writes in a note that the Paris Conservatoire did not teach the viola until 1894); Robert Schumann (1810-1856), who wrote several chamber music works, such as Märchenbilder, Op. 113 (1852), and Märchenerzählungen, Op. 132 (1853) for it [B & S knew each other, too]; and György Kurtág (b. 1926), who wrote Hommage à R. Sch., Op. 15d (1990); both of the last two works also include the clarinet. I recently acquired a CD, Jan Michiels, piano (Steinway & Sons, 1875 [Schumann], Steinway D [n. d., Kurtág]), Benjamin Dieltjens, clarinet, Tony Nys, viola; all graduates of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels) that includes all of these and more in excellent performances with superb program notes: Klara (Belgian subsidiary of) Et'cetera KTC 4016, © 2006, TT 73:13, $6.99 via BRO [Berkshire Record Outlet, seller of overstocks and remainders; no longer in the label's catalogue].
Another such CD that I also acquired from BRO (in the same order) features music by a Welsh-born composer, Hillary Tann, who, since 1980, teaches at Union College in Schenectady, NY, where I taught public HS French from 1965 to 1978, five of whose six works feature the viola, solo and with several other instruments, one a duo with oboe: Songs of the Cotton Grass, Matthew Jones, viola, and ensemble, Deux-Elles DXL 1132, © 2005. TT 63:20, $7.99; it's still in the label's catalogue. It's very different, unique, lovely, magical, and pleasant modern music.
My most recent order included yet another one, Centaur CRC 2660, Doris Lederer, viola, Jane Coop, piano, (no information about either of the instruments), © 2003, TT 68:22, with viola sonatas, that I did not know and had never heard, by two other British composers whose names begin with 'B': Arnold Bax (1883-1953) and York Bowen (1884-1961). I knew their names and had heard some of their music, but did not know these works, both composed for Lionel Tertis, the first violist to attempt to turn the instrument into a solo one – the booklet notes talk (p. 3) about his "oversized instrument" which made this possible – Bax in 1922 and Bowen in 1905 (when he was 21, so about a decade before Bridge's and a decade before Britten's works – neither of those wrote a sonata for the instrument). Tertis was on the faculty of the Royal Academy of Music when they were students there. They "were both superb pianists" (p.3), and Bowen performed with Tertis frequently; he was also "an accomplished violist, although one presumes he was no Tertis." (p. 4) They are different from each other, but not dramatically, and are more related to the late-Romantic style, like Brahms' two clarinet sonatas, Op. 120 (1894) that he arranged for viola in 1895. The CD also has Bowen's Phantasy for Viola and Piano, Op. 54 (1918; performed by him [piano or viola?], even in the 1950s, but "unpublished until 1997" [36 years after his death], p. 4; notes by Bill Murray). Bax's is the more modern, especially its 1920s-era opening, more like Les Six than Fauré, to whom the notes relate Bowen's (p. 3), and I concur.

Q: Docusign app getting error this page isn't working right now, local host can't currently handle this request, http error 500 I'm developing an app based on the Docusign C# Quickstart.
Its working fine on my development PC (Win 11) in Visual Studio 2019 using IIS Express.
However, when I publish it to IIS (v10) on my development PC it runs and I can authenticate with Docusign just fine (once I got the proper redirect URI registered: https://localhost/ds/callback) but the step that actually sends the envelope is returning the following error in the browser:
This page isn't working right now.
Local host can't handle this request
http error 500
Any help is appreciated. I logged a support ticket with Docusign, but still waiting for a response.

A: Quickstart is just an app to show you how to use DocuSign APIs.
The redirect after signing is back to localhost, and your app, once ready to be deployed to server, has to be set with a proper URL, at which point you'll need to update the redirect URI to the one based on your server.
The 500 error is coming from your app, not from DocuSign. You need to figure out   why your app cannot handle the URL that is set for redirect after signing by DocuSign.

A: The base API address demo.docusign.net/restapi is used to reach the development/ test platform. The na4.docusign.net/restapi address is one of DocuSign's (many) production platforms.
Remember that, once you have passed the Go-Live process, you have two Client IDs (integration keys) one for the test platform, one for all of the production platforms. Each has its own settings.

The error

Is from IIS. Use IIS logging to see the URL request that is coming in that can't be handled.
To see if it is the redirect from the initial OAuth Authorization Code grant URL, examine the initial URL redirect to account.docusign.com (prod URL).
The redirect contained as a query parameter in the initial OAuth redirect must:

Salem-Keizer cancels school due to icy roads, staffing shortages

Local students will get a long weekend after the Salem-Keizer School District canceled classes Friday due to icy road conditions and staffing shortages.
The district initially announced a two-hour delay at 5:45 a.m. Friday, then said classes would be canceled around 8:30 a.m.
District offices will remain open.
The cancelation applies to all district programs, including the online EDGE program, district spokesman Aaron Harada said.
Prior to announcing the closure, the district had 696 employees due to be out for various reasons, and 59 unfilled teaching positions, Harada said. A position is unfilled when a teacher is out and a substitute isn't available.
That number does not include bus drivers and transportation workers, who have a different system.
Harada said he didn't have a count of bus drivers who were out, but the number was large enough "it would have meant significant delays across the district – not just getting to school, but also getting back home," he said in a text.

Albumin is a protein manufactured in the liver and stored as a particle in the blood. Serum albumin serves the basic function of holding fluid in your blood through the process of osmosis. Low levels of albumin cause fluid to seep into the "third space," the area between cells. This causes complications called edema or ascites, inappropriate fluid retention and bloating. Inadequate dietary protein can affect the amount of albumin in your body, resulting in major health implications.
It is necessary for you to consume the eight indispensible amino acids in order for your body to have all the building blocks it needs to synthesize albumin. Without enough protein, your albumin levels may drop. In 1989, the "Journal of Clinical Nutrition" published a study on albumin in rats. The study found that higher protein diets promoted albumin synthesis and increased albumin levels, even in rats with kidney disease who were losing albumin in urine. Rats with protein-restricted diets underproduced albumin and had low body stores.
Low serum albumin can be the result of a multitude of medical conditions. If you are experiencing unusual fluid retention, resulting in significant weight gain, talk to your doctor to pinpoint the cause. The normal range for serum albumin is typically 3.5 to 5.4 milligrams per deciliter, although this range may vary depending on the laboratory. Albumin levels may appear normal in malnourished patients who are also dehydrated. It is important to look at this lab value in the context of your diet, medications and overall health. Seek the advice of a knowledgeable health-care provider to determine appropriate treatment options.
Protein comes from animal products such as meat, fish, dairy and eggs. These are considered complete or "high quality" proteins because they contain all eight essential amino acids in one source. Consume 10 to 35 percent of your daily calories as protein to meet the recommended dietary allowance for this nutrient, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, get your protein from a variety of sources to ensure sufficient intake of the indispensible amino acids. Plant sources of protein include beans, soy, lentils, nuts and seeds. These are not complete proteins, though, so combine different plant-based protein sources throughout the day to obtain all of the necessary amino acids.
