MAN of the MATCH: Eunan O'Kane: A solid display at the heart of the midfield capped by a stunning effort worthy of the Premier League stage.MATCH FACTSJordi Gomez hit a late leveller to spare Wigan's blushes as they avoided this potential banana skin by the skin of their teeth.
The League One side stormed ahead with a first-half belter from Eunan O'Kane. But Gomez rescued a replay when he hit home the rebound after his 70th-minute penalty was saved by Shwan Jalal.
Roberto Martinez's Premier League strugglers came into the clash on the back of just one win in eight matches.
In contrast, the Cherries arrived on a 16-match unbeaten run.
Four minutes before the break Bournemouth struck.
O'Kane collected a pass 25 yards out and skilfully side-stepped Fraser Fyvie before crashing a stunning drive into the far corner.
Martinez threw new signing Angelo Henriquez into the mix, and the on-loan Manchester United striker thumped a header against the bar.
McQuoid came close to a second with a curling effort that flew just over. Emmerson Boyce then saw a speculative shot deflect wide before Roman Golobart powered a header over the top.
The hosts continued to press and Maynor Figueroa thumped the bar with a sensational strike from distance.
The Bournemouth defence was creaking and 20 minutes from time they were undone.
McQuoid was adjudged to have tugged back Figueroa, presenting Gomez with the chance to level from the spot.
The Spaniard's effort was saved by Jalal but he tucked the rebound in.
The Cherries fought back and substitute Wes Fogden forced a smart save out of Mike Pollitt.
Harry Arter then missed a chance to steal the headlines with a rasping volley as Wigan held on for a replay.

LG Rollable phone is official — and you can buy one this year
By Mark Spoonauer 12 January 2021
The LG Rollable gets an official name, and it could be a compelling alternative to foldable phones
(Image credit: LG)
LG has some pretty cool things on display at CES 2021, from a new line of premium OLED Evo TVs to portable air purifiers. But the most newsworthy tidbit came right at the end of LG's CES 2021 digital presentation.
LG provided a sneak peek of the LG Rollable, which will be the company's first phone that would transform from phone to tablet and back again. In the LG video, you can see the display retracting in someone's hands, but it's not clear how it happens; it could be with the push of a button.
The best phones you can buy now
Samsung Galaxy S21 release date, price, specs and leaks
According to CNET, the LG Rollable will be hitting the market in 2021, but there is no exact timing yet. However, a recent rumor points to a release date of March.
The LG Rollable could be a compelling alternative to the best foldable phones. Instead of worrying about a hinge that may break or foldable screens that could break in the cold, the display would likely extend using the same type of technology LG pioneered for its super expensive LG Rollable OLED TV R.
An LG Rollable leak in December on the LG Rollable said that the phone display would grow to as large as 7.4 inches in tablet mode with a resolution of 2428 x 1080. The leak also said to expect a Snapdragon 888 processor and 16GB of RAM, as well as a 4,200 mAh battery (which seems on the small side).
Unfortunately, the reported price of the LG Rollable is quite high at $2,359, which would be even higher than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2's retail price of $1,999.
Although it was a very brief tease, the LG Rollable is certainly one of the most buzz-worthy products of CES 2021 so far. Stay tuned for more details.

When you look in the mirror, do you see your dad's nose or your grandmother's eyes? Characteristics like curly hair or long legs get passed down from generation to generation, but they're not the only traits you can inherit. Families share genes, environments and behaviors, too. These individual factors have the potential to affect your health. You may have inherited your mom's smile, but you also might have inherited her health risks.
Some diseases and chronic conditions tend to run in families, so it's a good idea to gather information about your family health history. That information can help you can make the right decisions about your own health.
You might know about the big health events in your family, such as what your grandparents died from, or if your parents have passed, what caused their deaths. But do you know what other health issues they had while they were alive?
If a relative died at a young age, ask your family about the cause of death. Did a close female relative have ovarian cancer? Did a relative have an aneurysm? If you have an immediate family member who had prostate, breast or colon cancer, you may have a higher risk of developing that disease. Also find out if family members have conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes.
Make it a point to seek out details. Any time your family gets together for a dinner, a holiday celebration or even a FaceTime chat, ask about health issues that run in the family. No one should feel forced to reveal personal health information, but it might help to explain that knowing family health history could be very important to every family member's future health care choices.
Share what you know with other family members to help everyone understand their potential health issues. Also share your family health history with your primary care provider, so you can review your risk factors together. Your provider will help you find the right resources for preventive care and will help you get the proper screening tests at the right time. Knowing about your risk factors can give you a better chance of preventing a disease or catching it in its earliest, most treatable stages.
If you'd like help getting started on gathering your family health history, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website and use the My Family Health Portrait Tool. This is a private, free, Internet-based tool that allows you to collect and record your family's health milestones and explore your genetic background. Or, use your patient access to your electronic medical records to make notes about your family health history for your provider to review.
It may feel intrusive to ask your loved ones questions about their health. But once they know the information will be used to help all your family members be aware of possible health risks, the conversation should be easier. And it's not enough just to talk about your health legacy – write it down. When appropriate, share it with your children so they have the information they need to make informed decisions about their own inherited health risks.

All County, All the Time Since 2010 MAKE THIS YOUR PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY HOME...PAGE! Wednesday, January 20th, 2021
All-candidates' – minus two – engage audience in Wellington
Administrator | Oct 01, 2015 | Comments 33
Anticipation of an announcement Friday about Canada's involvement in the Trans-Pacific Partnership may take the federal election campaign to another level.
Bay of Quinte candidates – Liberal Neil Ellis, NDP Terry Cassidy and Independent Trueman Tuck – expressed concerns about the deal at Wednesday night's all-candidates' meeting in Wellington.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is being called a "secret talks" deal that will hurt farmers, the automotive industry and threaten everything from Internet freedoms to drug patents and rules of copyright.
Supporters say the negotiations among 12 Pacific Rim countries will result in better access to foreign markets, eliminating tariffs and barriers and comprising 40 per cent of global economic output.
Ellis supported concerns of farmers and those of the automotive industry – one of the largest employers in the area.
"We have to protect the rural farming jobs because farmers feed our cities… Auto Systems and Halla about seven years ago were about to shut down – if Chrysler went bankrupt they were done," he said explaining how due to the help of the city, they are booming now, noting there are five plants in Belleville employing more than 2,500 people at well over $20 an hour.
"They've outlasted some American plants and they are hiring right now and these jobs have been in this area forever," said Ellis. "When you look at the auto sector, we can't compete with the Vietnamese and Chinese products that will be able to go in cars. We've been sold-out in this secretive deal… losing the local auto parts manufacturing plants will affect the economy here and the economy in general.
"We've had no input and don't know what's coming down but when (Stephen) Harper said on the debate the auto sector's not going to like this, that means this area's not going to like this."
Cassidy added it's not just about secrecy.
"It's about who's really calling the shots, who's really running the show… I suggest it's large international corporations with great amounts of profit to gain… We will probably get less of an auto industry, less of a quality food supply because after all, people who produce it at peanuts – because that's what they pay the people to do – and have less environmental and health standards than we have, can sell it and we have to take it because the law will be supporting the businesses who want to do it, not the government that wants to protect you."
Tuck weighed in saying these type of agreements are "all about globalization, all about mega-corporations being able to do whatever they want in our Country, and the reason it's done in secret is because they're selling out all of our rights."
Moderator Bill Hutchins, of CKWS, had told the crowd of about 100 people that Conservative candidate Jodie Jenkins and the Green's Rachel Nelems declined their invitations citing busy schedules. Displeasure was expressed in the crowd.
John Burns said he "came to the meeting to ask Mr. Jenkins a question" and went ahead anyway.
'How do you account for the fact the government in office is the least accountable government that we can imagine? I wonder if I could have an answer to that?"
Following applause, an audience member suggested "the panel might allow a minute of silence".
Following opening remarks by candidates, the audience was invited to pose questions for almost two hours. Those at the microphone asked for opinions on government policy, proportional voting, seniors, health, global warming, the Alberta Tar Sands, the senate, democracy, Bill C51, the arts, assisted death, and student votes.
Responses on the topic of murdered and missing aboriginal women brought applause.
Tuck called for enforcement of the laws regardless of who the crimes were against.
Cassidy said his party would launch an inquiry within 100 days of being elected.
Ellis also indicated support for an inquiry and noted he was appalled when he watched the Prime Minister say an inquiry "wasn't high on his radar".
The evening was hosted by the Retired Teachers Ontario (ETO); the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO), Ontario English Catholic Teacher's Association (OECTA), Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation and Quinte Labour Council.

So in the last debate when Stephen looked Canadians in the eye and said he was speeding up the process for Syrian refugees to immigrate, he mispoke, right.
Paul Cole says:
My question is with the additional scrutiny by Harper and his Con artists did they find any terror threats..
It is now reported that Harper slowed the immigration process of vulnerable Syrians so that his PMO's office could scrutinize the approvals. So a control freak like none other, but he didn't know about the PMO's office payment to Duffy! LOL
Wednesday, October 7th, 2015 at 8:59 pm
We require a Government that can deal fairly and rightly with our First Nations. Harper casts off the missing women as crime with no offer of inquiry or solution. That is not leadership. He promotes divisive politics by making the Muslim head dress an election issue. It is way down the list of big issues facing Canadians attempting to find worthy paying work and raise a family. He is out of touch.
Hopefully Canadians see through his bull sheet.
Unfortunately Harper is now campaigning on a wedge issue and fuelling anti Muslim sentiment. It is clearly a win at all cost strategy for him. He needs to go but people are buying into this dirty politics of pitting Canadians against Canadians.
Tuesday, October 6th, 2015 at 5:25 pm
You are entitled to your opinion Argyle. I personally do not want anymore of Harpers divisive politics. He is a calculating individual who will win and prevail at all costs. He looks after the wealthy and does little for the struggling, poor or disadvantaged. One has to only look at his treatment of our First Nations.
Argyle says:
As the provincial liberal government continues to lay waste to the Ontario economy, health care, and the enviroment, why would anyone seriously consider voting liberal federally. The last thing this country needs is another liberal government.

"Bread & Butter" debate on poverty issues in Belleville tonight. Poverty is an important issue in this region. Guess who will not participate? I guess Stephen has the muzzle on Jodie!

It's hard to type a comment when you are pinching your nose with the one hand and readying to vote Cons with the other.
Not many Conservative supporters have joined the conversations regarding the upcoming election my guess is they can't dispute whats being said about the Cons because its all true VOTE anything but Harper and his Con's
Sunday, October 4th, 2015 at 9:55 am
Someone is telling Ken Globe that teacher's unions tell their members how to vote. As a member of the Teacher's Federation for 35 years and a member of Retired Teachers of Ontario since I retired, I can say that I was never told for whom I should vote. I may have been told I should get out and vote, but never which candidate I should choose. Some education is a provincial matter, but education of our Aboriginal children is a federal matter. The fact that the amount spent per student by the federal government is only a fraction of what the provinces spend per student is nothing short of a national disgrace.
Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 at 8:29 pm
No! The laws should be changed so that a sitting government cannot make such significant deals during an election campaign. This should have been out front and center in Parliament. Harper gives the impression he has a right to do whatever. Canadians have not been able to speak on this.
Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 at 1:39 am
Should Harper be negotiating a supply management trade deal while Canadians are deciding the government? Should he at this time stick a new government with this deal?
Friday, October 2nd, 2015 at 5:26 pm
Because a ton of County folk would vote Tory if they ran a yellow dog as the candidate. Many turn a blind eye to the harm 10 years of Harper have done. Jodie Jenkins making change in Ottawa is a laugher! He was totally ineffective on Belleville Council and pretty much cast aside. "He's just not ready".
Jack Dall says:
Second largest community in the County. Historically blue . Jenkins is a no show?
Susan Rose says:
It appears Ken nailed it dead on! My opinion, as I am Canadian and I have that right to express it! Thx to all our Vets!
Snowman says:
re; Ken Globe's message: Hey Jody Jenkins: I have a union card.Does that mean that you are not interested in me. And you are correct Ken.Leona did have the u-know-whats to walk into that lions den of a all-candidates meeting to address the anti-windys.
Tells me all I need to know about Jody Jenkins. "He's just not ready"
Ken Globe says:
I posted on my Facebook wall about my disappointment with the Conservatives and Greens not participating in the debate in Wellington. I wound up getting this message from a local Conservative party member.
"Hey Ken, Just to clarify …. The debate was one of many that are out there….organized by the teachers' union. Completely anti- Conservative. They tell their members who to vote for. Daryl has ever taken part in special interest group debates….Jodie made the right choice although the media will spin it however they like. Teachers' issues are PROVINCIAL and nothing to do with a Federal election"
A few years ago, during a provincial election Liberal Leona Dombrowsky was our MPP, she came down to a debate in Picton that was put on by anti-turbine people. The two moderators were not impartial, and the crowd was mostly against her. She still had the integrity and guts to come and present her parties platform, even though it was a losing battle. It would have been nice to hear the Conservative and Green parties platform.

Why only Liberal comments on all these web-sites. I guess the Conservatives are busy at work , or too sensible to bother with this nonsense. Vote Harper for proven leadership ! The global economy is in turmoil ! We need a leader with experience.

Jody Jenkins on the CJBQ call in show this morning at 10 am. after the news! Hope there will be some callers from the County asking for an explanation for his mia at the candidates meeting.
PS. Jim Cuddy has a County connection.

Harper campaigns on fear. Fear of economy which is funny given his dismal record, fear of the Liberals or NDP as they are dangerous, fear of any newcomer to Canada, fear of foreign stability, fear of provinces having a voice, fear of not being able to spy on citizens, fear of the Supreme Court etc.!!
Harper has Jenkins on a short leash. (Get used to it Jody.)
I recently listened to Jim Cuddy's song blasting what Harper's regime has done. It is called "Stealing All My Dreams".

Sorry, was trying to post the link to Blue Rodeos protest song "Stealin all My Dreams"

If Jodie cannot speak to constituents in the riding he is running in he sure as heck will have no voice in Ottawa!
What an absolutely pathetic conservative campaign this has become. What we have now is a candidate (Jodie Jenkins), who will cease to set foot in a debate where unscripted, unfiltered questions can be asked of him. This, from a government that defeated the sitting liberals over scandals and TRANSPARENCY! It scares me so much that there are people who are still proud to have a conservative sign on their lawn, for it's these people who lack the political education – the Conservative party makes life most difficult for. It's the people who champion the blue collar mantra that are getting hosed the most by these people.
We need to get this country back to the Canada it once was. We are a joke on the world stage now. We've become the USA of right around 2003 or so. What a shame.
Mr. Harper controls whether candidates are able to attend all candidates meetings or not. Also controls what if anything they are allowed to comment on. Stephen most certainly would not want Jodie speaking about the trade deal where our farmers milk quotas are at risk. I personally do not think a trade deal such as this should be able to be signed during an election campaign.
I was impressed with the excellent questions raised by those at the meeting. They were all most relevant. Unfortunate that Mr. Jenkins was absent, but with the format of the evening, he would have found it difficult to follow a script that would have been given to him to read. I did not know until last night that we even had a Green Party candidate in this riding. She needs to be more visible if she expects to garner many votes.

According to various reports, PC candidates are "told" not to particiapte in any All Candidates meetings. This is constanty being denied by PC campaign managers, yet… here we have another no show.
Was very disappointed in both the local Conservative and Green parties not showing up to the debate last night. If the County voters are not worth their time, then those candidates are not worth our time.

We know that honey bee workers live an average of four to six weeks in the spring and summer, but the same is true for most adult bees that go foraging for nectar and pollen. The wings, it seems, are one of the first things to go. Not only do the wings move incredibly fast, but they are delicate and easily damaged. This bumble bee is approaching her end. Although she is still working hard, her wings are a fraction of their original size.


Lampang Cultural Street is also known as Wang Nuea Road. It is located right outside the old remains of the city wall and received its name from the great effort that the community put into protecting their history and culture for the next generations.
Apart from the town gate that defended Thailand from the enemies in the past, other significant historical sites include Gu Jao Ya Suta, the gorgeous arch doorway of Wat Kak Kaew, and the viharn of Wat Pratu Pong with the elegant Lanna architecture. You will also see horse carriages running along this road as the prime mode of transportation that survived the industrialization era and still exists as a charm of Lampang today.
The highlight of this street is on Friday nights when the walking street called "Kad Mua Kua Lang" happens. Here, you will find the usual stuff offered at other walking streets (or less) but it is as authentic and down-to-earth as any "Kad" could be. The locals sell anything they can just to get out and interact with each other and visitors while showing the pride they have for their hometown. Do not be surprised if you see an entire stall filled with red garlic or lettuce. And do not be shocked if you see these items presented not on a table but on a straw mat or banana leaves on the footpath. This is what "traditional" really looks like.
On Sunday morning if you wake up early enough, do not miss the chance to get out here again and see the morning market or "Kad Mua Kua Ngai." Other than being the best place to get breakfast, you can also observe and participate in alms offering to the monk. It is a beautiful sight rarely seen elsewhere nowadays. This street may not look as lively and full of tourists as other walking streets you would see in Thailand's major cities. But if you want to learn the real Lampang or Lanna way, this is where it is at.
From Lampang, use the Superhighway Lampang-Ngao heading to Chiang Rai. At the Keland Nakhon intersection, turn left and go across the Kelang Nakhon Bridge, the Cultural Road will be on the left hand side.

Sissel sang this lovely song at the royal wedding in Norway on May 24, 2002. It is appropriate that she sang this in the cathedral of Trondheim, which was the traditional Norwegian pilgrimage site. According to one account, "The wedding ceremony was between princess Märtha Louise and Ari Behn. Sissel performed beautifully 'Lær meg å kjenne dine veier' (Norwegian tune written in 1902 from Åseral in Vest-Agder) with help from the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and the Nidaros Girls' Choir. In Norway it is tradition to wear a national costume (bunad) during special occasions, and Sissel followed the tradition wearing a green, Luster-bunad. About 1000 people attended the wedding ceremony in the the Gothic cathedral of Trondheim."

What I valued most about VES was the small community that was formed between students and faculty. Our teachers became our friends, and I don't think this type of community can be found anywhere else. All the teachers were there to help us, even if out problem had nothing to do with their area of expertise. We knew we could email, text, go to their office, or even go to their house and knock on their door if we ever needed anything. Also, the teachers and their families would attend school activities which made VES seem that much more of a family. We got to know their kids, and sometimes even babysat for them for community service hours.
The best thing that happened to me at boarding school was that all these students and faculty became you family away form home. I didn't matter which grade you were is as everyone got along with each other and there were no barriers between age groups. I believe that the connections I made at VES will last me a lifetime and I am so thankful for that. I am so glad to have met people from so many different states and countries and I know that if i ever find myself in South Carolina, Germany, Argentina, Texas, North Carolina, Korea, China, I know who to call.
I think that what I would have done differently is that I should have become closer with people from my grade in the beginning. When I first arrived, nearly all my friends were Seniors and by the time they graduated, I had to start again and form new friendships within my class. I regret this because some of the best friendships I made were with my class during the end of sophomore year and the beginning of junior year. What I recommend is to meet an many people as possible, be outgoing, and take part in as many after school activities as you can.
I loved the small, tight nit community and how everyone made the most out of their boarding school experience.
Meet as many people as you can. I met some of my best friends a few months before i graduated my senior year and I only wish I could've met the sooner. Also, become best friends with your teachers; they are there for you. Go to as many activities as you can and don't be afraid to dance in the school dances. Go early to lunch as the best food is placed first.
I really liked how all the students took academics seriously and all strived to achieve the best they could. When I first arrived to VES, I didn't really care about my grades, but seeing that everyone studied hard and took their homework seriously, it encouraged me to do the same. This discipline really helped me in college. Also, I can honestly say that my teachers were definitely a great influence in choosing my major as Mr. Watson and Mr. Ross made math class really fun and interesting. My classes were hard and competitive, but rewarding in the end. Even though I was not interested in taking higher level Biology and History, my advisor encouraged me to take AP Bio and APUSH with Dr. Knebel and Mr. Button, and they changed my whole perspective on how I saw these subjects. They were the best teachers I've ever had and I am so grateful that I took their class. Also, teachers like Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Csatlos really care about their students and basically adopt them as their own. I learned so much from the classes I took at VES that I'll never forget how much they impacted my life, such as Mr. Knebel's AP Comp class where he showed us how to write college essays and get see the cool side of English, Mr. McCormick who dedicated his entire class to understanding Shakespeare and correcting our grammar failures, and Mr. Smith who drilled the format of the DBQ's and FRQ's in our head so we could all pass the APEuro Exam.
All the sports I was part of were very competitive and being that I am a competitive person, I really enjoyed being part of the teams. My favorite coaches were Mr. Salvia and Mr. Sedlar. They were the toughest coaches I've ever had, but they made my last soccer season the best and most memorable season I had in my whole four years. Also, Mr. Leake was probably the coach that knew me the best. He was my teacher for two years and coached me in six seasons of swimming and soccer. He always expected me to do my best in and out of the classroom and that motivated me to become a better athlete. I have always liked sports so the mandatory participation was never really a problem for me. Most of the students were very excited to be part of a team and no one cared if someone had never tried a sport before or were the best in the team. The teams welcomed all and worked hard to improve every-ones skills.
I think that VES is more of an academic school than a school that is influenced by the arts. However, I took AP Art my senior year, and Mrs. Corieveau really helped me improve my artistic skills and receive a very good score on my final exam. I was also part of the musical for three years and if I compare our theatre program with other schools, VES is not very professional. The main reason why I joined school plays was because my friends were doing the play as well. We would all be part of the chorus and be on stage for three songs throughout the entire play.
I always looked forward for Basia Librum (VES Book Club) because the Knebels would always come up with very fun book topics to discuss and order themed candy that had to do with the subject. Also, I really enjoyed being part of the Counselor body my Senior Year. We all became very close and would try our hardest to make everyone feel welcome and included in all of our activities. For community service, there were many opportunities to help on and off campus. Chaplain White would send emails every week looking for volunteers to help around the Lynchburg community. I was part of the Relay For Life group and Bowling for Kids Sake and I definitely recommend getting involved, they were very fun experiences.
I was a day student for my four years at VES.
Now that I am in college, I really do miss VES dining hall food. There were lots of choices if we didn't like the hot food of the day. Rice, salads, sandwiches, waffles, and cereal were always available and the desserts were very good. Every month, the dining hall staff would make a cake to celebrate all of the students and faculty's birthdays of that month. Our seated lunch tables were sometimes awkward but other times were very fun. It was a good way to meet other students and talk about things we had in common.
Lynchburg is a very small city but it has many good places for food. The city was very safe and the part where VES is located is very pretty. It was very common to kind someone you knew at a grocery store or at Mi Patron. What i really liked about living in Lynchburg was that were so many places to hike and be around the wilderness, like Panther Falls and the James River.
All of the students and faculty knew everyone by name and I think that that is something very special from VES. I remember that my friends and I would hang out on Box and talk to anyone that came by. This not only helped me become more outgoing, but I got to meet so many different students from different cultures and backgrounds, which I am still in contact with today. The social life was very healthy and a little distracting when I had to study for tests or do homework as my friends were always around. But after I learned to manage my time better, it all worked out.


Blockchain Technology and Its Regulation in the U.S.
Blockchain is an emerging technology with the potential for improvement, expansion, growth and innovation. This evolving aspect of blockchain technology warrants excitement, with a tinge of caution thrown in for good measure. For this reason, consulting with a blockchain lawyer or cryptocurrency lawyer may prove reassuring.
To many, blockchain technology is the tech supporting digital bitcoin currency. Blockchain technology is emerging as a digital method of transaction verification that companies can make instantaneously on a network without going through a central authority.
Blockchain is a digital, publicly accessible ledger that tracks all cryptocurrency transactions. The newest transactions form "blocks," with the recorded information becoming part of the chain upon completion of a block. This provides a way for those participating in the market to keep track of digital currency transactions without going through a central recordkeeping repository.
Each computer connected to the network is a node in the network and automatically gets a downloaded copy of the blockchain ledger. Blockchains use distributed ledger technology, allowing verification of transactions, as well as the digitization and insertion of any document into the blockchain.
The result is an unchangeable, permanent record. The authenticity of the record is verifiable by each node using the blockchain network, alleviating the need for a single centralized authority for authentication.
No private party or governmental entity controls public blockchains, meaning there is no designated "record keeper" or accountant. With no definitive regulations in place, the U.S. states are free to implement their own regulations and rules.
In June 2015, New York became the first U.S. state to initiate rulemaking measures to regulate virtual currency companies. By 2017, eight U.S. states have developed bills promoting or accepting the use of blockchain technology and Bitcoin.
Federal regulators are beginning to take notice, however. In December 2017, Forbes reported the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission, among others, are beginning the groundwork toward regulation of blockchain technology.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) ruled in 2015 that cryptocurrencies are commodities and can be regulated. In March 2018, a U.S. District judge upheld the ruling, giving the CFTC standing to regulate virtual currencies as commodities. Subsequently, the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC) is advising registration of platforms dealing in cryptocurrencies as a condition of doing business in the United States.
Before the U.S. accepts blockchain technology as a legitimate legal tool in financial services circles, it may face some of the following regulatory challenges.
Legal nature. Issues such as jurisdiction, applicable law, liability and territoriality should something go wrong are being raised. The legal nature of blockchains and shared distributed ledgers are potential points of question since these have no specific location, since each network node may fall under different local legal requirements.
Recognizing blockchains as immutable, tamper–proof nodes. There needs to be a legal framework to identify the veracity of information contained in blockchains. This is necessary for blockchains to qualify as unique, trusted sources for data protection and authentication of legal persons.
Acceptance in court. Inclusion of a document in a blockchain implies the document stands as proof of existence or ownership. There is currently no legal precedent on which to base this claim.
Liability in smart contracts. Because the distributed ledger of a blockchain doesn't have a specific location, questions of which party to the contract is liable should the smart contract fail are rightfully raised. Liability could fall to any or all the parties involved with the contract, generating potential jurisdictional issues.
Blockchain technology is being implemented across the globe. Anywhere there is internet access, a node in blockchain technology may exist. The advantages of this rapidly evolving technology are steadily expanding and changing. While its final form isn't yet known, it is here to stay.

Long Way Home
The Cliff Vaughs Story
Boston born April 16, 1937. Civil Rights activist and photographer for SNCC in the Sixties. Endured beatings, stabbings, bayonets and jail while taking extraordinary photos of Southern scenes published in newspapers and magazines throughout the country. Marched with John Lewis. Had MLK's back at Selma. With Julian Bond, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the cause from Hollywood celebrities. Instrumental in forcing the networks to open the local Los Angeles IATSE Cameraman's Union to blacks, women and minorities.
Civil Rights Activist Photographer Filmmaker KRLA News Reporter Easy Rider Seafarer Adventurer
Associate producer, preproduction stages of movie Easy Rider. Designed and built the Easy Rider bikes. Helped develop film's initial concept and themes, many of which were inspired by Cliff's experiences riding his chopper (and being shot at) in Arkansas while working for SNCC in the Sixties. In 1976, tired of living with racism in America, Cliff took to sea in a 41-ft ketch, spending years as an expatriate seafarer, adventurer, and occasional smuggler, roaming the Caribbean and Pacific. In 1982, he spent six months in jail on federal charges (later dismissed) of smuggling cocaine, marijuana, and Jamaicans into Florida. In 1992, he bought a 44-foot ketch he named Amistad and spent the next twenty years at sea, until losing Amistad to pirates in Honduras in 2012, after which he returned to the United States. He died unexpectedly July 2, 2016, at the home we shared. His contributions to Easy Rider and the independent film genre had been largely ignored and forgotten for decades, as Peter Fonda and others took credit for designing the bikes and the film's conception. Not until approximately 2010, when journalists seeking to uncover the mystery of the bike's design uncovered the truth and tracked Cliff down to interview him, did the full story of the bikes and the film's conception begin to emerge. Cliff's story is particularly relevant in this moment as our country struggles to reassess our history and address issues of systemic racism and White Supremacy that continue to plague our nation 250 years after its founding.

Cliff Vaughs Remembered
Freedom Summer Hollywood Easy Rider Seafarer Adventurer PIRATES!
Cliff Vaughs Remembered is my tribute to the man who was my first love (and my first heartbreak) at 18, at UCLA in 1963, and with whom I reconnected 52 years later at 70. We remained inseparable until the day he died, one year later. During that year, we recorded hours of conversation in which he recounted his adventures and reflected on his experiences -- the Civil Rights activities in Mississippi during Freedom Summer; the successes in Hollywood in the Sixties and Seventies; living "underground" on the streets of Florida in the Eighties; and the years at sea. He viewed the highs and the lows as different "experiences" but all part of a rich and meaningful life. Most of all, he loved recounting his seafaring adventures: whether encountering a Russian submarine in Scammon's Lagoon, breaking out of jail in Jamaica, or losing his boat to pirates in Honduras. Although this video is intended as an homage to the man I love and who continues to inspire me to live my life to the fullest, I also hope that, together with the two trailers above, it may inspire a production company to bring Cliff's story to the screen. His life was tailor made for movies!

SIGN THE SGA PETITION FOR INDEPENDENT MONITORING OF SATELLITE TAGS
There are 13 days left to sign the SGA petition calling for independent monitoring of satellite tags fitted to raptors, in Scotland.
If you want to see an independent body overseeing satellite tags so that evidence replaces speculation and trial by media, please add your name to the petition.
Should the Police have immediate access to all the relevant data to assist them to do their job, or should they have to wait to be given it by third party campaigners? If you want to see change to the way satellite tag information is utilised today, sign now. The petition will close on September 23rd.
You can find all the information and sign, here: https://www.parliament.scot/GettingInvolved/Petitions/PE01750?fbclid=IwAR2dcpr-65TtYACZmRsKmyXjYLgKZh9j5ycC3iyr1XsFbDyAzA-BSxEQvnk
SGA SEEKS TALKS ON DEER NIGHT SHOOTING TOOLS
Red deer Stags in Forestry
Normalising the shooting of deer at night will have long term implications for their welfare and distribution says Scotland's deer managers who want to be consulted on new control methods.
Public agencies are considering thermal and night vision equipment with a view to potentially legalising its use for lowering deer numbers.
Shooting deer at night is prohibited in Scotland unless authorised by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and is not legal in countries such as Germany, Sweden, Denmark or Austria.
However, The Scottish Gamekeepers Association (SGA) believe Scotland's iconic deer are already changing their behaviour due to being targeted by controllers in darkness.
Applications to SNH to control deer at night to protect forestry have risen by over 300 percent in the last decade, as public agencies move from fencing as a management solution.
The SGA believes this, coupled with recreational disturbance, is causing deer to move into areas such as the lowlands, where mounting damage and vehicle collisions are occurring.
They fear that, if new technology normalises night shooting further, there will be unconsidered animal health consequences as well as major changes to the way Scotland's deer behave.
"There are a number of positive uses for this equipment currently in spotting and counting deer*, but what we ask is that professional deer managers are consulted on how the technology is to be used in future," said SGA Vice Chairman, Peter Fraser.
"There is a wider picture. Deer feed in the morning and rest up during the day. However, due to more people using the hills, they can be on the move in daylight and they are also getting targeted now at night time to protect forestry. They are constantly harassed, which causes them to disperse and also impacts on body health.
"Whilst the technology has merits, it could further legitimatise night shooting in Scotland and we will move further away from managing deer in daylight and in season which is better for welfare, safety, quality venison and is more selective and humane than just killing any deer.
"We need to be asking why we have got to a place where night shooting of an iconic species in Scotland has become more of a first resort, yet it is illegal in many European countries."
Studies on roe deer in Denmark showed that, even where deer were not targeted at night, day time disturbance caused the deer to miss out on feeding for 1 hr and 22 minutes after being disturbed by recreational activity.
It was concluded that several disturbances per day could affect physical fitness and reproductive potential, even without deer also being placed under additional pressure at night.
Deer distribution also changed during the study and similar multi-party research is now underway in Glen Lyon, involving red deer.
"Thermal and night vision equipment use needs to be seen in the wider context. That is what we want," said stalker, Lea MacNally.
"Better forest design and strategic fencing would eliminate many of the problems some feel are driving a need for the technology and, in the hands of poachers, it could make detection and conviction (of poachers) almost impossible. If the Deer Act is to be changed to permit its use for managing deer, consideration should be given to licensing it, with compulsory training."
*Thermal imaging spotters are currently legal for counting and identifying deer at night. However, it is illegal to shoot a deer using thermal/ night vision scopes on rifles.
Over the last 10 years, the red deer annual cull (Scotland) has stood around 60 000 animals per year.
Over the last 10 years, the roe deer annual cull (Scotland) has stood around 30 000 animals per year.
Red deer are now understood to be declining in Scotland following substantial local reduction culls. Mammal data from BTO Breeding Bird Surveys show the red deer has declined for the past 21 years, in squares monitored by BTO.
Roe deer numbers are understood to be increasing due to an improvement and extension of their habitat, mainly in the lowlands.
Sources: SNH (cull data), BTO and Association of Deer Management Groups (population estimates).

Socrates, the founding father of western philosophy, lived from 470 B.C. to 399 B.C. He was known for going barefoot. Those that later wrote down his ideas (Plato and Xenophon) found this worthy of comment.
SOCRATES (470?-399 BC). Interested in neither money, nor fame, nor power, Socrates wandered along the streets of Athens in the 5th century BC. He wore a single rough woolen garment in all seasons and went barefoot. Talking to whoever would listen, he asked questions, criticized answers, and poked holes in faulty arguments. His style of conversation has been given the name Socratic dialogue.
Socrates was the wisest philosopher of his time. He was the first of the three great teachers of ancient Greece--the other two being Plato and Aristotle. Today he is ranked as one of the world's greatest moral teachers. His self-control and powers of endurance were unmatched. In appearance he was short and fat, with a snub nose and wide mouth. Despite his unkempt appearance, the Greeks of his day enjoyed being with him to talk with him and were fascinated by what he had to say. The young, aristocratic military genius Alcibiades said of him, "His nature is so beautiful, golden, divine, and wonderful within that everything he commands surely ought to be obeyed even like the voice of a god."
The greatest of the Greek philosophers were Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Most of what we know about Socrates comes from the writings of his pupil Plato and from the ancient Greek historian Xenophon; Socrates was never known to have written anything. On the other hand, Plato's pupil Aristotle was a very prolific writer whose works range from natural science and metaphysics to ethics and political philosophy. He laid the groundwork for the classification of knowledge into various disciplines. Over the course of his life as a teacher, Socrates was often accused of impiety. His enemies claimed that his teaching offended the gods and corrupted the youth of Athens. Most scholars now believe the charges were politically motivated, as one of Socrates' students was Alcibiades, a brilliant Athenian general who turned against Athens and helped Sparta defeat the city in the Peloponnesian War.
A trial and subsequent imprisonment of Socrates took place in 399 BC and were recorded in Plato's 'Apology' and 'Crito'. He was condemned to death. Despite being offered the opportunity to escape, he refused to disobey the law, and he was executed by being forced to drink hemlock. His philosophy, in content and in method, has influenced all Western philosophy after him.

A Tinder profile is made up of your first name, age, photos (of your choice) and any pages you've 'liked' on Facebook.
You can also include your education and ocupation in your bio.
According to a new study by Tinder, wearing glasses in your profile photos will reduce your changes of a right swipe. Instead of having specs appeal, wearing glasses could reduce the chances of finding 'true love' by 12 per cent, which is a pretty substantial percentage for something we had never really considered before.
But why would this make people think twice about a right swipe? If you're happily coupled up, you've probably helped your single girlfriends swipe through the reams of desirable – and not so desirable – potential dates.
If you become insatiable and want more, or if you don't have Tinder Plus, simply buy a Boost any time you like. We know what you're thinking: how on earth are we meant to create the perfect Tinder profile (right-swipeable obvs) to lure in our soul mate?
Head shots from professional modelling photos don't work either – they tend to be a bit of a turn off.
A great way of discovering common interests you might share with your matches.
Tinder then finds you potential matches near your location (you can narrow it down by age and distance, too) and if they take your fancy, you swipe right to 'like' them. If they've also 'liked' you – then bingo, it's a match and you can start messaging. A recent analysis of 12,000 profile photos of both men and women showed that 72% of them wore neutral colours in their pictures, as opposed to eye-catching bright colours or a garish prints, with the colour black overwhelmingly popular for people's chosen outfits.
Well, that could be about to change thanks to Tinder Boost.
Yes, with a name that does exactly what it says on the tin, the new Tinder update gives your profile a push in the right direction – boosting you up to be one of the top profiles in your area for 30 minutes.

I Love...My Writing Angels
In December, you tend to see "the year in review" popping up in magazines and on TV. I decided it was a good day to do a review myself, and I'm sticking to people. Despite the teeth-gritting, sugary sweet kitsch of it, I'm calling them...
My Writing Angels
They're like Guardian Angels. But instead of keeping me safe, they're nourishing my need to write.
So here they are.
My husband, Christian
On weekends, he sometimes sweeps the kids away for ten hours straight so I have quiet time with my laptop.
Even more important: he defends me when the in-laws complain how the family "suffers" because of my writing. And the best part? His defense isn't "it's not so bad" or "hopefully someday she'll earn some money with it", but "we're not suffering." It's the only thing he could say that could even attempt to make me feel less guilty, because his parents aren't completely off the mark. If I didn't write, our house would have less dust, a tidy living room, more home-cooked meals, and maybe even crystal-clear windows. (Okay, that's actually not likely. I hate windows.)
My friend, Ivonne
She's always been my first beta reader. Despite two toddlers and a demanding job, she's the one who supports and encourages me even though she's only ever seen my rough drafts. Ivonne, I swear they've improved.
My friend, Tanja
My idea-sounding-board/walking-partner. She asked a lot of questions. Often, my first reaction was that the reader didn't need to know that stuff. But her questions planted themselves in my brain, sprouting detailed backgrounds and new developments. The answers had an immense effect on how Lexi's story unfolds. And as for my WIP, Neve's character darkened into a much deeper, more interesting person.
My first critique partner, Sissy Kinghorn
What a learning experience! Sissy helped me get my wordiness under control - or at least to begin to. In a case of divine serendipity, Sissy was a doctor! She corrected my medical details where Dr. Google and Dr. Wikipedia couldn't be trusted. I couldn't have asked for more.
My next critique partner, Alisyn Busico
Ali pointed out where I gave waaayyy too much backstory. Where I stuffed the cake down the reader's throat instead of leaving a trail of crumbs for them to follow (that's me paraphrasing her – see, Ali, it sank in). I cut more words than I care to mention, and that's a good thing. I look forward to finalizing our critique sessions. As for her story, I'll admit I'm missing Matt. Oh yeah, and Clair and...well...not so much Evan.
My Pitch Wars coach, Deana Barnhart
Even in merely asking for a partial, she made me dance with happiness. It was a first for me. Someone out there, someone who knows what they're doing, found my writing interesting!
You know that scene in The Shining where Shelley Duvall discovers novelist Jack Nicholson has been filling reams of paper with "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy"? A part of me fears that. What if I spend this much time on writing, and in the end, the result is boring and useless? So when Deana picked me as an Alternate in the Pitch Wars contest, it added cheerful song to my less than graceful dance.
There are so many others who've helped me.
WriteOnCon participants who critiqued everything from my query to first five pages to the dreaded synopsis (and the organizers who made it possible!).
Friends and relatives who answered questions about music and geography.
My dad and his automotive advice.
Colleagues who didn't look at me like I was crazy when I disclosed how I spend my free time.
Brenda Drake for setting up Pitch Wars.
My SCBWI Germany colleagues for letting me babble and offering to beta read.
All of them were my Writing Angels this past year. Because of them, my stories, my prose improved. Because of them, I trusted myself to keep trying. And because of them, I've been able to spend time doing something I love.
I've been blessed to have every one of them touch my life. Thank you, my Writing Angels.

Three days can feel like a month. From December 5-7, a tornado of emotion spun my head so fast, I didn't know what to feel at any given second. Between work and events and news and chauffering the kids to various activities, I could barely keep my head on straight.
Chronologically....
Normally, I'm laid back about birthdays. I've never been one to obsesses over my age. The life I lead is the one I want to lead. But introspection hit me harder than usual this year. For the first time, I wondered if some of my life goals would become harder with age. For the first time, I found myself comparing my accomplishments to others. I even looked in the mirror more. I like to think my appearance is younger than average, but I can see the changes.
My daughter's birthday
Yep, one day after mine. How can she be eight already? Her birth was like three years ago. She's an amazing, athletic, smart, funny, generous little girl. I spent the day in a tizzy, preparing for her pirate-themed party on the weekend. Her birthday made me wonder what will come. She's already a mini-adolescent. Most famous quote: "You don't know how I feel. Don't tell me how I feel!" She was five then. What a handful. I pray I'll always have big enough hands.
Birth of my nephew
It happened on the threshold from my birthday to my daughter's, but I didn't hear about it until the next day. He joined the ranks of the six other December-born in the family. We apparently don't realize there are other months to be born. The joy of his arrival inflated my heart to bursting until the tears made the skin on my face burn. This little man was so wanted and such a long time in coming. He's a real blessing. I'm so happy for my sister. But it's more than that – I'm in awe of the feeling of starting out again, of knowing nothing, of figuring it out as you go along.
I know a person who talks about dying sometimes. Now, it happened again. I'm being deliberately vague here, but it is someone close to me. She can go for months without a word about it, then BAM, she'd rather be dead, wished she'd never been born, wants to pound her head against a wall until she's...just gone. Yes, she's in counseling. Do I think it's working? I don't know. Yes, I talk to her about it. Do I think it helps? I don't know. It's so scary. I hate the helplessness. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.
Request for Partial
At the end of November, I submitted five pages of my writing to a contest. For the first time ever, I received a request to send 50 more pages. What a rush! What a boost for my self-esteem! I hopped around the living room, trying to be quiet while my husband spoke to someone on the phone. I flopped onto the couch, kicking at the ceiling. It's a wonder my face didn't split in two from my huge grin. Someone out there thinks my writing is good enough to want to read more! I'm a careful person, so I told myself, it's possible nothing comes of this particular case. But, if nothing else, it's proof that there's hope!
The next day, I found out a friend of a friend hanged himself. This was a man who chatted with me at a wedding, had a deep discussion with my husband, and showed my kids his little farm. He helped the kids feed goats. He nursed some preemie animals until they were big enough to survive. He took long walks every day. He loved being outside. So that's where he did it: outside. I know where it happened. I can even imagine which tree he chose. He didn't leave a note. He did leave a wife...and friends and neighbors full of questions. My friend asked me, why didn't she notice? Why didn't she or his wife or anyone else see it coming? As for me, it made me think of the loved one I mentioned above.... And the helplessness.
Three days. Up. Down. Back and forth and sideways.
You know the saying "stop the world, I want to get off"? I don't want to get off. I'm glad I'm here. But if someone out there could reduce the spin-speed, I'd be more than grateful.
Advent Calendar - Max & Daisy's Christmas
Traditionally, December 1 is the first day for the German Advent Calendar. The idea behind it is to sweeten the wait until Christmas. There are twenty-four doors, and, starting today, we can open one door each day.
In the past, I bought calendars containing candy or small toys. This year, my son's Advent Calendar is - as requested - chocolate filled.
My daughter, however, begged for something special. So instead of buying a ready-made calendar, I bought one that can be used every year and filled however we desire.
Striving for uniqueness, I stuffed the socks with...a story. (Plus some candy because we all know children can't live on words alone).
So if anyone out there is interested, they're welcome to use my original children's story with their children – there is one section for each day until Christmas Eve.
When Daisy woke up on Christmas Eve morning, she never would have imagined the adventure she'd have that day.
Her brother, Max, was loud, as usual, and Daisy wished he would just shut up so she could sleep a couple more hours. When he yelled and screeched, she finally gave up and went down to breakfast.
Papa said, "I heard someone spotted Santa's sled already."
"Where," asked Daisy.
"Germany."
That was far away. Daisy and Max lived in Michigan. It would probably take a long time for Santa to get all the way to them.
Daisy went out and pet her favorite horse Snowball and gave hims some delicious oats to eat and an apple since it was Christmas.
Then Daisy's family put on their nicest clothes and went to visit their grandparents. After a delicious dinner and a present to share (a real work bench where they could make things out of wood), they went home, exhausted.
They went to bed quickly. They didn't want Santa to think they were trying to get a peek at him.
Daisy woke up to a scratching sound. She got up and looked out her window.
She couldn't see anything, but she did hear a man's deep voice say, "Oh no!".
Oh, no? What could that mean? What if someone was out in the barn? Someone who might take Snowball? Daisy put on her warm winter coat and boots and hurried outside.
She couldn't believe her eyes. Between the barn and the house, there was a big sled with eight horses.
Daisy ran to the horses, but suddenly noticed they weren't horses at all. "Daisy, look!" yelled her brother. He must have woken up too, because he ran out behind her.
"Those horses have antlers!" Max said.
Daisy shook her head. "Max, those are reindeer!" she explained.
"Reindeer? That must mean--"
Suddenly a man came out of the barn. He had a fluffy white beard and a red suit on.
There was only one person he could be. "Santa!" both kids whispered.
"Well, what are you two little ones doing awake?" Santa asked with a smile.
"I heard a noise out here and wanted to make sure my horse was okay."
"Aha," said Santa. "Your horse is fine, but my reindeer are not! They've had a cold for the last week. They've been trying so hard to get presents to all the children. But now, they're just too tired."
Daisy looked at the reindeer. Their eyes looked tired and their noses were running. Santa took big tissues and wiped each of their noses. Some of the reindeer were shivering.
Santa shook his head. "They need to get in a warm stall or they'll get even sicker."
"We have a stall," Max said.
"Right, you can put them in our stall. There's enough room for them and it's nice and warm," Daisy explained.
"Well that certainly is nice of you kids, but there's one problem. This town – your town – is the last one we needed to visit. We still haven't taken the presents to each house yet."
No presents? thought Daisy. You can't have Christmas with no presents!
"But," Santa continued. "You're right. My reindeer need some rest."
Max and Daisy helped lead the exhausted reindeer into the stall. They lay down immediately on the soft straw and cuddled together for warmth.
Max fished out several bowls, and he and Daisy filled them with water. Then they gave the reindeer fresh hay and a handful of chestnuts each.
Santa sighed. "I just wish there was some way I could deliver all those presents left in your town."
Max and Daisy looked at each other. They had to do something! They had to help Santa.
Snowball whinnied. She saw the reindeer eating their chestnuts and wanted a snack for herself. Daisy gave her a carrot. Then she got a great idea.
"Santa," she said, "Snowball could help you deliver the presents!"
"Who is Snowball?" asked Santa.
Max answered, "Our horse!"
"She can't fly, like your reindeer," Daisy explained, "But she can run all through town."
"She could take you to all the kids' houses," Max finished.
Santa scratched his chin and thought. "Yes, children, I think you're right. I think your Snowball could help me after all."
Daisy lead Snowball out the stall, then hooked him up to Santa's sled. Luckily, almost all the presents were already delivered, so the sled was not very heavy.
Max and Daisy stood watching Santa, but he suddenly said, "Well, are you going to help me take these presents to all the houses, or not?"
"You mean," asked Daisy, "We get to come too?"
"Well, without my reindeer, it would be awfully lonely for me."
Max and Daisy were beaming as they climbed into Santa's sled. Santa even let them hold the reins sometimes.
They drove to every house in town. Santa used his magic dust to get them inside. Silently, they placed presents under every tree. Santa even let them eat milk and cookies at some of the houses. Yum!
The sky was just beginning to lighten, when Santa brought them back to their own house. Daisy and Max yawned so big, they thought their faces would split open. They'd been awake most of the night.
"Could you kids take Snowball back into the stall? And check on my reindeer?" Santa asked.
Of course, the kids did as Santa requested. As they pet each of the reindeer and gave Snowball a drink of water, Max said, "Daisy, do you know what?"
"What?" she asked.
"We stopped at every house in town. Except ours!"
Daisy looked at Max. "Oh no, do you think Santa forgot us?"
"Let's go ask him."
Daisy and Max ran out of the stall, but they didn't see Santa's sled. They walked all around the house to see if he was in front, but they didn't see him there either. They hurried back to the stall again.
The reindeer were missing! Only Snowball was there.
"Snowball, where did they go?" Max asked.
Snowball just whinnied and lay down to rest.
Max and Daisy were so sad when they went back into their house. It had been so much fun to help Santa deliver the presents, but, of course, they wanted presents of their own too.
The kids hung up their coats and hats and put their boots away. They started to trudge up the stairs to their bedrooms, when their mom and dad came down.
"What are you two doing up so early?" Dad asked.
"Aren't you worried you'll scare Santa away?" Mom asked.
Daisy and Max both frowned, and Max thought he might cry. "Santa didn't come to our house," Max said.
Mom walked past the kids on the stairs and went into the living room. "What are you talking about?" she asked.
"The reindeer got sick," Daisy said.
"And we helped as best we could - Snowball too - but Santa forgot us," Max added.
"Oh, really?" asked Dad. "Come on in here, you two."
Daisy and Max walked into the living room. The Christmas tree looked beautiful. The lights sparkled and the ornaments were bright and colorful.
And there were presents. Lots of presents.
"If Santa forgot our house, where did all these come from?" Mom asked.
"Oh, boy!" yelled Max, and he ran to the tree.
Daisy grabbed some boxes and started passing them out.
Each child had one particularly big box. There was a note on them, that said, "Daisy and Max: Thank you so much for your help today. Because of you, a whole town full of children will have a very Merry Christmas. Love, Santa."

Following completion of the transaction, Emirates NBD and BNP Paribas plan to co-operate in a number of business areas such as trade finance, cash management and corporate and investment banking. BNP Paribas will continue to service its clients in Egypt through this preferred partnership.
HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Emirates NBD, said: "This deal represents an excellent opportunity for Emirates NBD to enter the promising Egyptian market and achieve our strategic aspiration of expanding regionally. It represents an important milestone in our regional growth and we are confident that it will bring successful results to all our stakeholders".
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, Chief Executive Officer of BNP Paribas declared: "Emirates NBD will be a strong partner for our Egyptian subsidiary and its staff, as well as for BNP Paribas' clients wishing to access strong on-shore banking capabilities in Egypt".
Rick Pudner, Group CEO of Emirates NBD, said: "This transaction confirms Emirates NBD's stated strategy and aspiration to be the leading bank in the MENA region. Egypt is a key market in our region with strong growth prospects. BNP Paribas Egypt provides the Bank with an ideal entry opportunity to this important market and we are committed to further build and invest in the franchise supported by their local management team and staff".

Twilight Zone as ETF Provider Warns Buying Silver will Harm Hedge Funds and Large Banks
Just over a week ago, we showed you how, following the #SilverSqueeze triggered surge in demand for physical silver, the 14 ETFs which claim to hold silver in LBMA vaults in London between them accounted for over 28,000 tonnes or 85% of all the silver said to be in those London vaults. And that the biggest of these ETFs, the infamous Blackrock managed iShares Silver Trust (SLV), which has JP Morgan London as custodian, accounted for over 70% of this total.
And just a few days ago we showed you how, following the #SilverSqueeze induced surge in SLV trading from 29 January to 02 February on NYSE Arca, the very same SLV had quietly and without fanfare amended its Prospectus on 03 February conceding that there may not be enough silver bars available in London or elsewhere to add to the Trust, when it stated in its filing to the SEC that:
"The demand for silver may temporarily exceed available supply that is acceptable for delivery to the Trust, which may adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
To the extent that demand for silver exceeds the available supply at that time, Authorized Participants may not be able to readily acquire sufficient amounts of silver necessary for the creation of a Basket.
It is possible that Authorized Participants may be unable to acquire sufficient silver that is acceptable for delivery to the Trust for the issuance of new Baskets due to a limited then-available supply coupled with a surge in demand for the Shares.
…In such circumstances, the Trust may suspend or restrict the issuance of Baskets."
But as it turns out, as was to be expected, SLV was not the silver ETF to move to panic stations the week before last, for at the exact same time on 02 February, the Aberdeen Standard Physical Silver Shares ETF (SIVR), also using JP Morgan London as metal custodian and also traded on NYSE Arca, quietly amended it's Prospectus to both sinister and comical effect, and in stealthy fashion uploaded a new version of it's Prospectus to the SEC website, inserting the following wording on page 6:
"As of the date of this prospectus, an online campaign intended to harm hedge funds and large banks is encouraging retail investors to purchase silver and shares of Silver ETPs to intentionally increase prices. This activity may result in temporarily high prices of silver."
Let the above sink in. You may need to read it a couple of times. For apart from showing panic about the effectiveness of the Reddit #SilverSqueeze forums such as r/WallStreetSilver, we would wager that never in the history of Wall Street has the author of a Prospectus shown it's true colors more than the above.
For if you previously did not know whose side Aberdeen Standard Investments was on in the battle for silver, well, simply put, now you do. And if there was ever an award for Snitch of the Year in torpedoing its own client base, Aberdeen Standard would likely win this one hands down.
But it gets better, for Aberdeen Standard, operator of SIVR (which claims to hold 1140 tonnes silver in London) and whose very rationale is to offer investors exposure to the silver price, seems to have a fundamental problem with the very silver price rising. Why else would Aberdeen Standard be afraid of a market force that "intentionally increases prices"? Unless of course that's not what the ETF operator actually wants to happen.
Amended Prospectus of Aberdeen's SIVR silver ETF, filed with the SEC, 02 Feb 2021
But it gets even better, for on page 7 of the amended SIVR Prospectus, Aberdeen Standard again confirms whose side it is really on and specifically why it is so scared of this online campaign to free the silver market from the clutches of the hedge funds and banks.
For on 02 February, in the amended text under a newly inserted heading of:
"A possible 'short squeeze' due to a sudden increase in demand of Shares that largely exceeds supply may lead to price volatility in the Shares."
The Prospectus also added that:
"As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund and other Silver ETPs are experiencing a sudden increase in demand of shares following an online campaign to harm hedge funds and large banks with substantial short exposures to silver.
The campaign encourages retail investors to purchase shares of Silver ETPs as well as physical silver in order to intentionally create a short squeeze. This activity could result in temporarily inflated prices of Shares and the difference between trading price and NAV per share may widen."
So there you have it, one of the biggest silver-backed ETFs in the world apart from SLV, with a claimed 36.7 million ozs (1140 tonnes) of silver stored in London with custodian JP Morgan, is worried not about the interests of its investors, but about the outstanding short interest silver positions of the hedge funds and large banks. And out of concern for these entities that are short, Aberdeen Standard is fearful of market forces which will 'intentionally increase silver prices'.
Another nail in the coffin – JP Morgan's Schemes to Defraud Precious Metals Markets
Those with a sharp eye may also ponder why Aberdeen Standard is worried about a divergence between the trading price of SIVR and its NAV. And why would that be? Maybe it's because the date of 03 February is the last time SIVR added any new silver holdings, a date on which it's claimed silver holdings rose from 35.6 million ozs to 36.6 million ozs. But no increase in silver holdings since then.
And also that none of the claimed SIVR silver is held in the vault of the infamous custodian JP Morgan in London, but all of the claimed silver is said to be held in the vaults of 3 SIVR sub-custodians, namely, Brinks, Malca-Amit and Loomis, the same 3 sub-custodians that SLV tapped in early February to pad out its bar list in the wake of a so called 3,400 tonnes increase in SLV silver allocations.
So after all, maybe the SIVR panic of 02 February is not so different to that of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) of 03 February, which as a reminder and to come full circle, warned in its prospectus change that "The demand for silver may temporarily exceed available supply that is acceptable for delivery."


The story so far: August Derleth's put out the original Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos anthology through his Arkham House publishing imprint, and after he died the original Tales was revised by Jim Turner. Arkham House attempted to follow it up first with New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by Ramsey Campbell, which was a bit hit-and-miss, and the rather more successful Jim Turner-edited Cthulhu 2000.
However, Arkham House's star was well and truly fading by the 1990s, despite these Mythos-related efforts and others (such as the issuing of new editions of Lovecraft's works with the texts corrected by S.T. Joshi). With the death of August Derleth and the copyright on Lovecraft's work coming closer to lapsing worldwide, the fandom was less inclined to look to the publisher as being the be-all and end-all of the Mythos; the backlash against Derleth's heavy-handed pronouncements of canon gathered pace, and new sources of Lovecraftian writing and criticism appeared here and there. In addition, Jim Turner's personal take on the Mythos and his lauding of high literary value and science fiction-oriented works over pastiche earned its own backlash.
Against this background, a new publisher arose – Fedogan & Bremer. This small press aimed to produce books more oriented towards the old style of Arkham House, before Turner's custodianship took the publisher on a different path from the one it had taken under August Derleth. (This was not an overly adversarial situation, though – they saw their books distributed via Arkham House, for one thing.) Like Arkham House, some of their material has disappeared into the aether whilst others have been reprinted as trade paperbacks by other publishers – with a few even making it into Ballantine's line of Lovecraftian releases, putting them on the same level as their issues of Arkham House material.
Among the more prominent Fedogan & Bremer releases are a number of anthologies edited by Robert M. Price, who at this point had established himself as a loud voice in Cthulhu fandom. Up to this point, Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos had tended to represent an unattainable high point in the ranks of Mythos anthologies; Price tilted directly at this windmill..
