Top 10 Canadian Horror Films
Entertainment, Movies
Canada doesn't get the credit it deserves for its contributions to the horror movie genre. As a matter of fact, there are a number of awe-inspiring and spine-tingling films that have been written, produced, or directed by a Canadian. Many of them have even been filmed here. While it's difficult to pick a favourite from amongst these films, here are some of the most chilling and most disturbing:
10. Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil (2010) – Who says horror cannot be funny? If you're into a comedy and horror fusion, you're in for a treat with Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil. The exceptional cast does justice to the hilarious story plot as do the gory kill scenes. Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil was directed by Eli Craig and tells the story of Tucker and Dale who go on a vacation in the mountains. The fun begins when a bunch of college kids mistake the two friends for chainsaw killers.
9. Dead Ringers (1988) – Another psychological thriller from David Cronenberg, this film is about two identical twins who are both practicing gynaecologists. Jeremy Irons plays a dual role as the two brothers, who sometimes play as the other to deceive people. Dead Ringers' success is mainly because of the chilling plotline and the strong acting.
8. The Dead Zone (1983) – Filmed in Canada, this horror thriller film was based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. The Dead Zone tells the story of a man who wakes up from a coma and discovers that he now has extraordinary psychic abilities. Directed by David Cronenberg, the film is one of the most critically acclaimed supernatural thrillers.
7. Ginger Snaps (2000) – If you're compiling a list of horror films, you can't leave out Ginger Snaps. It tells the story of a teenage girl named Ginger who gets bitten by a werewolf, turning her world completely upside down. This Canadian production lands a spot in our list because it's not your average werewolf film. Directed by John Fawcett, the film's strong female cast and satirical take on teenage life makes it a memorable pick for horror movie buffs.
6. CUBE (1997) – The first successful film from the Canadian Film Centre, CUBE is about seven complete strangers who wake up inside a giant cube. Directed by Vincenzo Natali, the film is one of the most chilling psychological thrillers infused with sci-fi horror. CUBE plays with our fear of confined spaces and dislike for mind-bending puzzles that can lead to horrifying results. If that's not terrifying, what is?
5. The Changeling (1980) – The craftsmanship it took to make this Canadian psychological horror is probably the reason why this film is a classic. Anyone who loves haunted house films will enjoy The Changeling because it gives off a certain aura that draws us to the film. While it may not necessarily be the most horrifying film ever, it's still a favourite among critics and horror movie buffs alike.
4. Black Christmas (1974) – It seems Canada has produced a long list of psychological horror films with Black Christmas being a classic. The independent film was directed by Bob Clark and considered as the first slasher film by many. The fact that Black Christmas was inspired by a true story of a slew of murders in Quebec does not make it any less creepy. The 2006 remake, however, has not lived up to the original storytelling.
3. Dawn of the Dead (2004) – The original Dawn of the Dead by George A Romero is easily one of the greatest and most iconic zombie films that have ever been made. While the 2004 remake may not truly live up to its predecessor, it's still a fantastic re-reimagining of the spine-tingling classic. Directed by Zack Snyder, the film revolves around the survivors of a zombie apocalypse who have to fight the undead while dealing with several internal problems as well.
2. Silent Hill (2006) – Based on the popular video game of the same name, Silent Hill is a chilling and twisted tale of Rose and her daughter, Sharon. The film is set in an eerie, deserted ghost town named Silent Hill, which the mother-daughter duo is visiting. Rose meets with an accident along the way and awakens to find Sharon missing. We follow her around as she goes in search for her daughter in the creepy town.
1. Mama (2013) – While a lot of recent horror films have failed to scare, this Canadian produced supernatural horror does not disappoint. From the creator of Pan's Labyrinth, Mama is the story of two little girls who had been living in the forest. After being rescued, they realize that a shadowy figure had followed them home. It's a sensational and terrifying film with plenty of shocks and a strong plotline.
If there's any film you haven't watched from this list, make sure you check them out. Who knows? Maybe they could even inspire your next horror Halloween movie. Got anything to add to this list? Feel free to share.

Awesome Interviews – Jermaine St.Omer (Saint O)
TVO announces finalists in the TVO Doc Studio Contest


Billings, Montana and Bend, Oregon – November 17, 2016 – First Interstate BancSystem, Inc ("First Interstate") (NASDAQ: FIBK) and Cascade Bancorp ("Cascade") (NASDAQ: CACB) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which First Interstate, parent company of First Interstate Bank, will acquire Cascade, parent company of Bank of the Cascades, in a cash and stock transaction for total consideration valued at approximately $589 million in aggregate, or $7.60 per share based on the First Interstate closing price of $38.30 per share on November 16, 2016. The transaction creates a unique regional banking franchise that extends from the Mountain West to the Pacific Northwest and provides First Interstate with a presence in several high-growth markets, including Bend, Oregon and Boise, Idaho.
Cascade is a relationship-oriented community bank based in Bend, Oregon with total assets of $3.2 billion, deposits of $2.7 billion, loans of $2.1 billion and 50 banking offices across Oregon, Idaho and Washington. After completion of the acquisition, First Interstate will have approximately $12.1 billion in total assets, $10.1 billion in total deposits, $7.6 billion in total loans and 131 banking offices.
"We are very excited to announce this transformational acquisition that leverages our significant investment in people, processes and technology. This opportunity is a good fit for us geographically, strategically, financially and culturally. Cascade's operating philosophy, commitment to community banking and corporate responsibility are similar to ours, allowing for a seamless integration of our two companies," said First Interstate President and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Riley. "We are pleased to welcome Cascade's employees, customers and shareholders and look forward to continuing the good work that Cascade has been doing. Both of our banks have very strong, relationship-centered cultures and this is an ideal extension of First Interstate into markets we have been evaluating for several years," continued Mr. Riley.
Pursuant to the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Cascade shareholders will receive 0.14864 shares of First Interstate Class A common stock and $1.91 in cash in exchange for each share of Cascade common stock they hold. The exchange ratio is fixed and the portion of shares received by Cascade shareholders is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange. Cascade shareholders will own approximately 20% of the outstanding capital stock of First Interstate once the transaction is complete.
First Interstate expects the transaction will result in long-term annual earnings per share "EPS" accretion of 10% and 2018 EPS accretion of over 8% after accelerating the debit interchange limitations from the Durbin amendment brought on by crossing $10 billion in consolidated total assets. First Interstate is expected to recover the tangible book value dilution experienced in this transaction in five years.
The boards of directors of each company have unanimously approved the transaction, and the directors and certain large shareholders of Cascade have entered into agreements with First Interstate pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares of Cascade common stock in favor of the transaction. Additionally, the directors of First Interstate have entered into agreements with Cascade pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares of First Interstate common stock in favor of the transaction.
First Interstate and Cascade expect to close the transaction in mid-2017 after satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the approvals of the First Interstate and Cascade shareholders. Immediately following the completion of the acquisition, it is anticipated that Bank of the Cascades will be merged with and into First Interstate Bank. Two members of Cascade's Board of Directors will be added to the First Interstate Board of Directors in order to maintain the community commitment that Cascade has established in important markets in the Pacific Northwest.
Barclays Capital Inc. served as exclusive financial advisor and Luse Gorman, PC served as legal counsel to First Interstate. Piper Jaffray & Co. served as exclusive financial advisor and Hunton & Williams LLP served as legal counsel to Cascade.
First Interstate and Cascade management will review additional information regarding the transaction in a conference call beginning at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time on Friday, November 18, 2016. The call may be accessed by dialing 1-877-507-0356. To participate via the Internet, log on to www.FIBK.com. A replay will be available approximately one hour after the end of the conference call by dialing 1-877-344 7529. The conference ID is 10096941. The call will also be archived on our website, www.FIBK.com.

Community Summer: Then and Now
When Braveen Ragunanthan and Nina Ragunanthan (née Woolley) packed for the Mississippi Delta in the Summer of 2009, they never imagined the impact it would have on them.
"That summer was really important for me for, helping me understand a part of the United States that I had never experienced before. In the years that followed at Duke, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, I kept reflecting back on that experience," Braveen said.
Josh Evans (left), Nina Ragunanthan (center), and Braveen Ragunanthan (right)
For Nina, the experience was similar, "The Mississippi Delta is a special place that touches every Robertson Scholar who has ever been there. Its history and culture, with all its complexity, has left a legacy on America as a whole. Getting the historical context of that region was very impactful for me and broadened my horizons."
Now, almost twelve years later, after completing all their medical training, they're heading back. For good.
"Our Robertson Community Summer in 2009 at St. Gabriel Mercy Center in Mound Bayou impacted us immensely, and we feel called to return to the community to serve. We are going to be among the only pediatricians and OB/GYNs at the Delta Health Center at this time, and we are summoning all of our courage as such," Braveen shared.
"We will definitely be drawing upon lessons learned as Robertson scholars as we seek to make a transformational impact in our community. The Mississippi Delta is a place that has endured much, and yet has an amazing sense of resilience and hope. We feel we are coming around 'full circle' in many ways by taking this next step in our careers."
After graduating from Duke in 2012 both Nina and Braveen embarked on their careers in medicine. Braveen headed to medical school at the VCU School of Medicine as a recipient of the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) scholarship and took a year off to complete his Master of Public Health (MPH) degree at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Nina spent a year working as the Global Health Teaching Associate at Weill Cornell Medical College, and then went on to Harvard Medical School.
Braveen and Nina couples matched together in 2017 for residency training in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in pediatrics and obstetrics & gynecology, respectively, at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Braveen is currently Chief Resident at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and Nina is Chief Resident at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital.
Now the two are drawing on their Robertson experience to return a place they hold dear in their hearts.
"Nina and I are answering a calling to serve the rural Mississippi Delta. From an epidemiological and health policy standpoint, Mississippi has endured many challenges over the years including among the nation's highest rates of childhood poverty, childhood obesity, and infant mortality, especially amongst black infants. But there is also such a tremendous history of activism and pioneering leadership in community health that draws us here so strongly. Our employer, the Delta Health Center, Inc, was founded in the 1960s by the legendary Dr. H. Jack Geiger as the first Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in the country and helped ignite the community health movement across the United States. Numerous champions of the Civil Rights movement fought bravely in Mississippi and helped pave the way for many of the organizations still operating on the ground there across social justice and education spaces."
Braveen pops the question at the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program 15-Year Celebration
It was during their Community Summer that Nina and Braveen recognized they had more in common than a love of service. In 2015 at the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program 15-Year Celebration, Braveen asked Nina to be his wife. Julian Robertson was in attendance. "I remember I saw him at the dinner and he said, 'You know, this is what is really important,'" Braveen recalled. They got married in 2017 with many Robertson alumni joining them in celebration.
Nina shared the impact the program had on her life, "The Robertson Program helped me clarify my calling through a continual reflection process. Throughout each college experience and summer internship, the program asked us 'what does it mean for you?' I was able to define my values, why I am going into medicine, and what I want my career to focus on – which is serving vulnerable and disadvantaged women. I was able to hone my path through the Robertson Program."
Braveen and Nina look forward to welcoming and mentoring future Robertson Scholars that travel to the Mississippi Delta for their Community Summer. They remain grateful for all of their classmates from the Class of 2012 who helped them grow during that lifechanging summer as well as all of the RSLP alumni who have worked in Mississippi over the years.
The Robertson Scholars Leadership Program would like to congratulate Braveen & Nina on this next step in their Journey!

It's no secret that women are underrepresented in engineering nationally, receiving 21.3 percent of all engineering bachelor's degrees in 2017, according to the American Society for Engineering Education.
At the University of Delaware, a sorority of women in engineering and technical sciences is doing its part to change that. On Nov. 10, the Alpha Omega Epsilon engineering sorority's Nu chapter at UD hosted a discovery day for high school girls.
The goal of the day? Inform female high school students about engineering and computer science, show them opportunities in these fields and highlight the rise of women in STEM careers. The event was open to girls in their sophomore, junior or senior years of high school who are interested in studying science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields after graduation from high school.
Fifty girls from 26 high schools attended the event, which was held at UD's Center for Composite Materials. The high school students learned about different types of engineering from Heather Doty, assistant professor of mechanical engineering; Debra Yarrington, assistant professor of computer science; Sue McNeil, chair and professor of civil and environmental engineering; Sarah Rooney, assistant professor of biomedical engineering; Rick Martin, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering; Cathy Fromen, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering; and Jenni Buckley, associate professor of mechanical engineering.
The high school students also participated in a campus tour, a lunch and question-and-answer session with members of Alpha Omega Epsilon and a hands-on activity,Scrappy Circuits, which teaches fundamentals of building and understanding electrical circuits using inexpensive, common materials.
Clements knows how impactful this early exposure to engineering concepts can be.
Alpha Omega Epsilon member Robyn O'Halloran, a sophomore majoring in environmental engineering, volunteered at the event because she wants girls to know their options. In high school, the Havertown, Pennsylvania, native excelled in math and science and was intrigued by the idea of engineering — except that she didn't really understand what it was.
UD's K-12 Engineering group, which hosts camps and offers educational units to teachers around the country, also helped with the event.

Among the above methods, the fluid volume method has been implemented in most CFD software applications for ease of implementation as well as the power to maintain mass consistency. In the OpenFOAM, there is the method of volume volume in the interFoam solver.
In the present simulation, the bubble is moving under the difference in the contact angle among the various solid surfaces. A schematic of geometry is shown in the figure below.
In microtubes, surface forces are dominant over volumetric forces, so surface tension and viscous stresses predominate over inertial term. The flow inside the microtubes is assumed to be laminar. The contact angle of the joint is considered the constant and dynamic. The simulation result is seen at the bottom.

In a bind over Turkey, EU finds money to contain immigration
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European Union countries offered more money on Wednesday for border policing in Greece and humanitarian aid in Syria's Idlib, but they were in a bind over Turkey as they sought to avert a mass influx of migrants.
EU interior ministers met in Brussels on Wednesday for emergency talks, to be followed by foreign ministers on Thursday and Friday, as some 25,000 refugees and migrants gather on the Greek border, seeking to cross into Europe.
That came after Turkey – citing the latest fighting in Syria – backed away from a 2016 deal with the EU to keep refugees and migrants away from Europe.
In a joint statement, EU ministers recognized "the increased migratory burden and risks Turkey is facing" but also denounced "Turkey's use of migratory pressure for political purposes."
"This situation at EU's external borders is not acceptable," they said, in calling on Ankara to stick to the 2016 pact.
Greek riot police used water cannon and tear gas on Wednesday against migrants at the frontier, while the EU was sounding out President Tayyip Erdogan on his demands in exchange for Ankara's reverting to keeping refugees at bay.
"Turkey is not an enemy, but people are not weapons either," the EU's top migration official, Margaritis Schinas, said in explaining that 700 million euros' worth of extra EU funding for Greece would fortify the bloc's external border there.
The EU is also preparing to offer 60 million euros in new humanitarian aid to Idlib, diplomats said. The city has been the latest flashpoint in the nine-year-old war in Syria, where Russia-backed Syrian forces fight rebels supported by Turkey.
Humanitarian efforts to support nearly 1 million people who fled the fighting have been overwhelmed, said the U.N. aid chief, Mark Lowcock.
EU member states are divided over Turkey. Greece and Cyprus push a tough line, focusing on border tensions and condemning what the bloc sees as Erdogan's migration "blackmail".
Others are willing to offer further aid to support some 3.7 million Syrian refugees stranded in Turkey, on top of the 6 billion euros already granted in 2016.
The EU is desperate to avoid any repeat of 2015 and 2016, when more than a million refugees arrived on its soil, overwhelming security and welfare systems and fuelling support for euro-sceptic and nationalist groups across the bloc.
But EU's ties with Turkey, a NATO ally, are strained over human rights and security issues, as well as Ankara's hydrocabons drilling in east Mediterranean.
At the same time, EU countries have been at loggerheads since 2015 over how to share out people arriving in the bloc, leaving some – like Greece or Italy – weighing under the burden, and others – like Poland or Hungary – refusing to host refugees.
Turkey prepares human rights case over Greece's treatment of migrants
With bitter divisions damaging the bloc's unity, the EU turned to Turkey to prevent arrivals in the first place – and put itself at the mercy of Erdogan.
Human rights groups decried Athens' hard-nosed action on the border and its decision to suspend accepting asylum claims, but the EU expressed solidarity with Greece.
"The right to asylum does not mean that Erdogan can send how many migrants he wants into the European Union," EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson told journalists on Wednesday.

It has come to my attention that an in-flight health emergency occurred on one of your recent flights. A licensed nurse practitioner (NP) and member of our organization, immediately responded to the crew's urgent request for assistance to treat a passenger in distress. In order to treat the passenger, the NP required access to the on-board medical kit. However, your flight crew informed this highly-trained and licensed NP that only a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope could be provided. It was stated that company policy was the sole reason why adequate and available resources could not be provided to this NP volunteering to assist a passenger in need.
Upon further inquiry, the NP was informed that your company's policy only allows certain health care professionals access to your aircraft's medical kits in emergency situations. This policy specifically prevents NPs as well as physician assistants from access to certain equipment, including defibrillators, to provide emergency care.
Given the many heroic stories of health care professionals, numerous NPs among them, saving lives aboard airline flights, it is my sincerest hope to clarify your company's policy and engage in a deeper conversation to explore strategies to ensure health care providers, including NPs and physician assistants, are given the necessary tools to provide appropriate and necessary emergency care to American Airlines' passengers while in flight.
While the circumstances surrounding this emergency may be unique, we view this as an opportunity to look at the bigger issue of passenger safety and work proactively toward a solution aligned with current health care trends and the clinical training and expertise of NPs to assist in similar emergencies.


For over 15 years, we have volunteered thousands of hours to teach classes, develop curriculum, and provide mentoring/ tutoring for over 2000 students who did not have the financial resources to pay for educational services and/or who needed academic assistance. The goal of this campaign is to therefore supplement other fundraising efforts so that we can continue providing these much needed educational services.

Luke Greer: The Abington, United Kingdom native had one of the best season's in men's cross country history. The junior began the season with three consecutive wins at the Tusculum Open (5K - 15:38.0), Asheville Cross Country Invitational (4-mile run, 20:15.91), and the Allen and Phyllis Morgan Invitational-Battle at Mossy Creek (5K – 15:10.0). Greer, also finished runner-up in the South Atlantic Conference Championships (8K – 24:39.21) and fourth at the Southeast Regional Meet (10K - 31:35.44). The junior was also the first men's cross country runner since 2005 to compete in the NCAA Division II National Cross Country Championships, he finished in 42nd place. Greer, was an All-Region selection and All-South Atlantic Conference First Team selection during his junior season.
Charles Clark: Clark has picked up where he left off from his junior year where he was named the South Atlantic Conference's Player of the Year and won the Frosty Award for Male Athlete of the Year. Clark is averaging nearly 20 points per game as a senior. He has bypassed 1,900 points for his career and ranks in the top five in scoring all-time for both the South Atlantic Conference and Carson-Newman. He has been named the South Atlantic Conference's player of the Week twice this season and for seven times in his career. His top two efforts came against King and Coker. Clark poured in 28 points to go with six assists and a pair of rebounds as the Eagles rallied against the Tornado. In foul trouble for much of the first half against King, Clark exploded in the second half for 26 points. Against the Cobras, Clark exploded for 37 points, the third highest mark in his career.
Sha'heem Stupart: Stupart concluded one of the greatest careers for a Carson-Newman linebacker in program history. The native of the Palmetto State finished his C-N career with 312 career tackles, the seventh most all-time in Carson-Newman history. He also racked up 24 stops behind the line and 6.5 sacks in his C-N career. As a senior, Stupart finished with the year as Carson-Newman's leading tackler and the third leading tackler in the South Atlantic Conference. He made a career-best 94 stops to go along with 9.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and two forced fumbles. Stupart finished his career with 11, 10-tackle performances, including a career-high 16 against Limestone on Oct. 7. He is one of three players in the last decade for the Eagles to have a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception in one game. He was named All-SAC first team at the conclusion of the season, his third All-league accolade.
Tom Read: The London, England native picked up four awards following his senior season with the Eagles including All-Conference First Team, CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team, D2CCA All-Region First Team and All-America Honorable Mention. 2017 saw him score 11 goals, two of those being game-winners, with three assists. He was the team's co-leader for goals alongside Tobias Solem Karlsen. He also led the Eagles with 25 points, 71 shots and 28 shots on goal. His best performance came in a Sept. 16 victory over Newberry, scoring two of C-N's five goals on the day.
Tobias Solem Karlsen: The sophomore forward/defender hailing from Kongsvinger, Norway had a breakout season with the Eagles, scoring a team-high 11 goals, a total that tied senior Tom Read, along with two assists for 24 points. He netted a team-high five game-winners, the second-most in the South Atlantic Conference and 16th-most nationally. His five game-winners are the second-most in an individual season in program history. He scored a pair of hat tricks this season, the first coming on Sept. 9 against Clayton State and then almost a month later against Lincoln Memorial, making him the first Eagle to score multiple hat tricks in a season. He garnered two SAC Player of the Week awards this season following those trifecta performances. At the conclusion of the season, he was tabbed an All-Conference First Team member, his first postseason award in his career.
Derrick Evans: A second team All-SAC quarterback, Evans led the South Atlantic Conference in rushing touchdowns with 18. He also rushed for 625 yards on 149 carries, including back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances to close out the year. He topped out at 126 yards on the ground in the Eagles' regular season finale against UNC Pembroke. His 18 rushing touchdowns are the seventh most for a single season in Carson-Newman history and the second most among quarterbacks at Carson-Newman. Aerially, Evans completed 78-of-137 passes for 1,460 yards and eight scores. He ranked fifth in the nation in yards per completion and 14th in the country in passing efficiency. With a completion percentage rate of 56.9 percent, he has the third-most efficient season in Carson-Newman football history passing the pigskin. His top effort through the air came at Wingate with 213 yards and two touchdowns. His five rushing touchdown day against Lenoir-Rhyne registered as a school-record tying performance, matching Kenneth Tyson (1987 v. Elon) and Buck Wakefield (2009 v. Tusculum) for the most rushing touchdowns in one day. He also has the two longest runs by a Carson-Newman quarterback for the last decade, wheeling off a 79-yard tote against UNC Pembroke and a 76-yarder against Lenoir-Rhyne.


i am new to BO, Can some please help me how to calculate the firstday of the last quarter.
Which process in good to implement the changes?
May i know why its not possible in WeBi ?
i created last quarter logic in report but how can i create the first day of last quarter, i am able to see only last day of month and last day of year.
It is possible in Webi, but you only have to do it once in the universe.
i am using hadoop database. can you please let me know the logic for that.
Can you please help with logic?
Thank you very much for your help, but this logic is not working when i applied to report, formula is correct but results showing error, can you please check and let me know the other options.
OK, let's take a step back. What are you trying to achieve?
My goal is to get first day of the previous quarter and there i have to get before 2 years data, please let me know if my question is not clear.
For example, if we're in 2019 Q1 now, what data do you need in terms of full quarters?
So you want 8 quarters of data?
If so, does that include Oct 2018's quarter?
it should not include 2018, Q4 data..

Technology Cryptocurrency,Cryptocurrency in Nigeria
Expert urges Senate to investigate rise of Crypto adoption despite restrictions
Anthony Udugba	 Dec 4, 2021
Rume Ophi
An expert on Cryptocurrency and alternative finance has called on the Nigerian Senate to toe the path of their counterparts in other climes to investigate the rising adoption of cryptocurrency in Nigeria despite clampdowns on accounts associated with cryptocurrency transactions by the CBN, instead of allowing things as they currently are.
The expert, Rume Ophi who is an analyst for Channels Television on cryptocurrency matters, as well as the founder of the fast-growing Cryptopreacher Academy, expressed this view recently in aninter view with journalists in Lagos.
Recently, the United States Congress set up a 'Demystifying Crypto: Digital Assets and the Role of Government' committee hearing which held on November 17, chaired by representative Don Beyer — who has previously proposed legislation expanding the regulatory and legal framework for digital assets in the U.S.
Giving the rationale for the rise in adoption of cryptocurrency in Nigeria, Rume explained, "Adoption of cryptocurrencies is much higher in developing countries like Nigeria more than in developed countries, asides the United States. Impressively but not surprisingly, Nigeria is leading in worldwide adoption of cryptocurrency.

"The reason is very simple: inflation is a chief cause of this. This is evident in markets like Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Tanzania. This is a way people can actually hedge themselves and get into other currencies and enable them to offset that," he revealed.
While reeling out some of the importance of cryptocurrency to any nation and how Nigeria can gain from its vantage position on the global map on its adoption of cryptocurrency, Rume appealed to the Nigerian Senate to set up an independent panel to look into crypto and work out a legal framework that will serve as a sort of regulation for the space.
He said, "Like the US Senate, our lawmakers can hold a hearing on the role of government concerning crypto where stakeholders in this space will have a dialogue with lawmakers on cryptocurrency in Nigeria and how Nigeria and Nigerians can make the best of it."
Cryptocurrency has provided hope to a new generation of Nigerians and a steady source of income in a country where average incomes have been declining for six years straight and the fiat currency continues to lose value.
In 2020, cryptocurrency transactions worth more than $400m were generated in Nigeria, with the country ranking third on the planet in terms of highest bitcoin trading volume. This figure is still on the rise as cryptocurrency transactions saw a year-on-year increase of 25 percent in June, 2021.
RumeOphi Alvin is the founder and Lead of the prestigious CryptoPreacher Blockchain Academy (CPA). He is a Premium Ambassador at Newscrypto and the Head of Mobilisation for stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (Siban) Presidential Task Force (PTF).

Q: Moving the ticks out of the plot I've seen other questions around here and on the forum on Mathematica but none of them worked for me. The question is the same: how can I extract the ticks from the plot in order to not overlap to the plot? I've tried lot of the solutions proposed here, but none of them seemed to work for me. Maybe I could have wrongly interpreted the information.
Could somebody help me getting the ticks outside the plot?
DensityPlot[x, {x, 380, 780}, {y, 0, 1},
  ColorFunction -> "Rainbow",
  AspectRatio -> 1/8,
  PlotRangePadding -> None,
  FrameTicks -> Automatic]

Just to make clear I add a simple plot of a Sine to clarify what i mean by saying that the ticks are "inside the plot", while I want them outside, anyway if you take a look to the previous question you'll find even some solution for the case of a normal plot...

Regarding the answer, by scaling the image I get this bad-looking effect...

A: Perhaps you mean something like:
DensityPlot[
    x,
    {x,380,780},
    {y,0,1},
    ColorFunction->"Rainbow",
    AspectRatio->1/8,
    PlotRangePadding->None,
    FrameTicks->{
        {Charting`ScaledTicks[{Identity,Identity}, "TicksLength"->{-.01,-.005}],None},
        {Charting`ScaledTicks[{Identity,Identity}, "TicksLength"->{-.01,-.005}],None}
    }
]

where I used negative tick lengths.
Addendum
In my original answer, I basically used a negative number for the "positive" tick length. This is a problem because the tick label position only depends on the "negative" tick length. It would have been better to use the documented syntax:
$$\left\{\left\{x_1,\operatorname{label}_1,\left\{\operatorname{plen}_1,\operatorname{mlen}_1\right\}\right\},\ldots \right\}$$
instead, i.e., {0, .01} instead of {-.01, 0}. In fact, using the documented syntax avoids the label/tick collision as long as the AspectRatio is 1. For example, compare:
GraphicsRow[{
    Graphics[
        {},
        PlotRange->{{0,100},{0,10}},
        AspectRatio->1,
        Frame->True,
        FrameTicks->{{None,None},{{{10, 10, {0, .2}}},None}}
    ],
    Graphics[
        {},
        PlotRange->{{0,100},{0,10}},
        Frame->True,
        FrameTicks->{{None,None},{{{10, 10, {0, .2}}},None}}
    ]
}]

Another possible approach to avoid the label/tick collision is to use a plot range that has an aspect ratio of 1:
GraphicsRow[{
    Graphics[
        {},
        PlotRange->{{380, 780}, {0, 400}},
        Frame -> True,
        FrameTicks -> {{None, None}, {{{400, 400, {0, .2}}}, None}},
        AspectRatio -> Full,
        ImageSize -> {300, 40}
    ],
    Graphics[
        {},
        PlotRange->{{380, 780}, {0, 400}},
        Frame -> True,
        FrameTicks -> {{None, None}, {{{400, 400, {0, .5}}}, None}},
        AspectRatio -> Full,
        ImageSize -> {300, 40}
    ]
}]

So, here's a function that leverages Charting`ScaledTicks, but adds support for custom tick lengths:
Options[customTicks] = Options[Charting`ScaledTicks];

customTicks[args__, opts:OptionsPattern[]][rng__] := Module[{major, minor},
    Internal`InheritedBlock[{Charting`ScaledTicks},
        Unprotect[Charting`ScaledTicks];
        SetOptions[Charting`ScaledTicks, "TicksLength"->{1, 2}];
        {major, minor} = Replace[
            OptionValue[customTicks, "TicksLength"],
            Except[{_, _}] :> {{.01, 0.}, {.005, 0.}}
        ];
        major = Replace[major,
            {
            t_?NumericQ :> {t, 0.},
            Except[{_, _}] :> {.01, 0.}
            }
        ];
        minor = Replace[minor,
            {
            t_?NumericQ :> {t, 0.},
            Except[{_, _}] :> {.005, 0.}
            }
        ];
        Replace[
            Charting`ScaledTicks[args, "TicksLength"->Automatic, opts][rng],
            {
                {a_, b_, {1, 0.}, c___} :> {a, b, major, c},
                {a_, b_, {2, 0.}, c___} :> {a, b, minor, c}
            },
            {1}
        ]
    ]
]

Using customTicks for your density plot:
GraphicsRow[{
    DensityPlot[
        x,
        {x,380,780},
        {y,0,400},
        PlotRangePadding->None,
        ColorFunction->"Rainbow",
        FrameTicks->{
            {None, None},
            {customTicks["Linear", "TicksLength"->{{0, .2}, {0, .1}}], None}
        },
        AspectRatio->Full,
        ImageSize->Automatic->{240, 30}
    ],
    DensityPlot[
        x,
        {x,380,780},
        {y,0,400},
        PlotRangePadding->None,
        ColorFunction->"Rainbow",
        FrameTicks->{
            {None, None},
            {customTicks["Linear", "TicksLength"->{{0, .4}, {0, .2}}], None}
        },
        AspectRatio->Full,
        ImageSize->Automatic->{240, 30}
    ]
}]


Pre-Auction Profits is a method used to eliminate the competition at auctions; it's pretty much a way to get the deals before anyone else.
When you go down to an auction you're competing against hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of other people; however when you're working pre-auction deals the correct way, in our opinion the right way, you're competing against one or two people max, or sometimes you're not competing against anybody!
There's a direct step-by-step process on how to get those deals, how to make money from those deals, and how to turn those deals over and be able to do it fairly quickly so it's a really good option. There's of course a fair amount of paperwork and a lot of foundational knowledge you need to do this successfully and that's where we come in.
These kinds of deals are incredibly easy to screw up since you're either dealing with people with mental health disorders, addiction, or it's someone who has passed away so you're dealing with some interesting stuff. The most important thing is to understand the technique and the tools to find these pre-auction deals, then it all comes down to negotiating these kinds of deals profitably in order to make money.
Pre-auction profits are really something where you need to lean on some legal knowledge like the difference between a warranty deed and quitclaim deed, you've got to know about access proceeds and overages, subject 2 and wholesaling, and so on.
The reality is that you can do it, if you can get to the people, it can be very rewarding and worth the time you've invested in these strategies. Let's be clear for a second though, pre-auction tax investing is what the pros do, it's fairly advanced to get to the pre auction deals. Normal people or the rookies will go to auctions, our students who know the advanced methods will get those deals before they even hit the auctions.
We're working on a course with a step-by-step process that goes over all types of real estate investing techniques, various case studies, negotiation tactics, examples of deals we've done, pretty much from everything from being able to become a tax lien lender to being able to secure a property by being a hard money lender. I'll let you all know when the course comes out!
Comment below with any questions on this topic, I always love hearing from students.

Austrians are the most likely to sunbathe nude (and other fun beach behavior facts)
By Chris Morris Globe staff,June 30, 2016, 1:50 p.m.
The scene at Coney Island in Brooklyn, N.Y., on May 29. (Stephanie Keith/Getty Images)
If you're headed to the beach this holiday weekend, there's something you should know before you go. Your fellow beachgoers will be judging you and your annoying habits, so watch it.
According to Expedia's annual Flip Flop report, an international study of beachgoer behavior that was released last week, The Slob has the most annoying beach habit, with 48 percent of respondents saying they can't stand people who don't clean up after themselves and leave their trash behind. The other least-popular beach personas, in order, are The Inattentive Parent, The Loud Mouth, The Encroacher, The Boozer, The DJ, The Sand Flinger, The Paparazzi, The Ogler, and The Canoodlers.
Other highlights from the report:
• Austrians are the most likely to sunbathe fully nude, knocking Germans out of the top spot for the first time in years. This year, 28 percent of Austrians reported having disrobed fully at a public beach, but only 25 percent of Germans and 18 percent of Americans reported doing the same. The most modest beachgoers are in Asia, with only 2 percent of Malaysians and South Koreans saying they've stripped down.
• A majority of Americans — 62 percent — say they are "somewhat uncomfortable" or "very uncomfortable" with toplessness or nudity at public beaches, up from 44 percent in 2014. Of the American women who were surveyed, 77 percent said they would never go topless at a public beach.
• Fewer than half of American respondents feel that Speedo-style swimwear is appropriate beach attire for men (48 percent), and only 6 percent of American respondents said they wear the tiny, clingy swimwear. Worldwide, 63 percent of respondents said Speedo-style suits are perfectly acceptable.
• The favorite international beach destination among Americans is Mexico. Florida's beaches are most popular when it comes to choosing US destinations.
• Worldwide, 24 percent of respondents cited European beachgoers as most attractive, with Caribbean (17 percent) and American (14 percent) beachgoers rounding out the top three. Americans who took part in the survey were a bit more patriotic, with 46 percent saying the most attractive beachgoers are in Florida and Hawaii.
The study also found that 23 percent of Americans would use beach Wi-Fi to share what they were doing on social media, and that beer is the world's favorite alcoholic beach drink.
"Year in and year out, travelers tell us that there's no vacation they prefer more than one at the beach," said John Morrey, vice president and general manager of Expedia.com. "When they leave the beach, they immediately begin dreaming of their next visit. So we use the Flip Flop Report to get more insights on what people prefer to do when they're there, and the answer is, basically, a whole lot of nothing."
In fact, relaxing/doing nothing is the world's favorite beach indulgence, cited by 74 percent of respondents. Reading and napping are next, at 44 percent. Sadly, about 17 percent of Americans work while sunbathing, second only to beachgoers from India.
The Flip Flop Report also found that the biggest beach fear is having possessions stolen (34 percent). Americans also fear sunburns (18 percent), bad weather (15 percent), and shark encounters (13 percent). A whopping 22 percent of American respondents said they avoid swimming in the ocean entirely rather than risk a shark bite.
The 2016 Expedia Flip Flop Report was conducted online with 11,155 adults across 24 countries on five continents.

INTERVIEW WITH HARRI STOJKA
Posted on March 31, 2011 by editsuite99
By Anita Malhotra
One of Austria's best-known jazz musicians, guitarist Harri Stojka began performing in 1970 and has since released more than 15 LPs and CDs. Playing in Viennese rock bands as a young teen, he formed his own jazz-rock band at 17, and at 24 was invited to play at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. Equally at home playing rock, punk, funk and jazz guitar, Stojka, a Vienna-born Roma, now specializes in the music closest to his heart: gypsy jazz.
Anita Malhotra spoke with Stojka in his dressing room after a concert sponsored by the Austrian Cultural Forum on Feb. 18, 2011 at Ottawa's Arts Court.
Harri Stojka in his dressing room after his Feb. 18, 2011 concert at Ottawa's Arts Court
AM: Tell me about your first experiences with music when you were a child.
Stojka: My first experience was listening to the Beatles. I was born in 1957. Beatlemania was eight years old and my older sisters always listened to the Beatles. George Harrison was my first experience of hearing a solo guitar player. When I saw George Harrison, I said, "I want to be a solo guitar player." I was eight years old.
Harri Stoijka as a young boy with his parents
AM: I read that you first started playing at age six when your father bought you a plastic guitar. Can you tell me that story?
Stojka: I know the story from my sisters. My Dad came home with a little plastic guitar and gave it to me. And instead of smashing the guitar in the corner, I sat there and started to practice. Nobody knows why. I practiced three weeks on this instrument. And my Dad said, "Wow, he has talent for guitar playing" and he bought me a bigger guitar.
AM: What about your first experience playing in a band?
Harri Stojka in 1970
Stojka: In 1970 I joined my cousin's band as a bass player. His name is Karl Ratzer. I was 13 years old. He lived in the United States for eight years and played with several jazz musicians like Chet Baker. Before that I had a band with my other cousin – he was a drummer. In Vienna we were the youngest band at the time. I was 12 years old and he was 13. He played drums, I played guitar, and we blew the audience away. Everybody said, "Wow, you have to listen to these two kids."
AM: What kind of music were you playing back then?
Stojka: Some kind of hard rock.
AM: So tell me about the first band you had – Harry Stojka Express. How did that come about?
Stojka: This was 1974. We played hard-core jazz rock in Vienna and also blew the audience away. Everybody said, "Wow, what's this kind of guitar player?" People were really shocked by my playing at the time. I was 17 years old then. I was the best in Vienna.

AM: And you got invited to play at the Montreux Jazz Festival. How did that happen?
Stojka: I made my first solo LP and my record company sent it to the festival and they immediately said, "Yeah, he should come and play here." It was 1980. This was my first solo performance and I was really nervous. It was solo playing, live, and the cameras were around me filming. But now when I hear this LP – we did a live LP from this concert – it is really great stuff.

AM: You grew up in a Roma family and I've heard there was always music around. Was it just the Beatles or was it also the Gypsy music?
Stojka: It was also the Gypsy music, of course. One day a week, my grandma did a big celebration. The whole family came together and made music – gypsy music. And we kids grew up with this music. But for a long time I didn't play this music. In 2000 I came back to Roma music. Before that I was playing in a punk rock band. I was a hard-core punk rocker and then a hard rock heavy metal player in the '90s, and in 2000 I came back to my gypsy music. My wife said, "You are a gypsy, why don't you play gypsy music?" And then I thought about it and said, "Yeah, she's right. That's my identity, you know."
AM: Did you grow up with all your family around you or was it just you and your sister and your parents?
Stojka performing at Arts Court in Ottawa on Feb. 18, 2011
Stojka: No, with all my family around me. With my cousins, my aunts, my uncles. It's a bad story because my whole family was in concentration camps. They all had the numbers – the tattoos, you know. My family was 200 people big, and only six people came back. My father was a Holocaust survivor. He was in Auschwitz-Birkenau and Buchenwald and in Flossenbürg, and then he was on the death march. He was released by the American Ninth Army. So, this was the story when we were growing up. The music was really sad at the celebrations because my Dad was drinking wine, and when the people got sadder and sadder the music became a blues that you really can't imagine.
AM: You have a CD, though, that honours that memory. Tell me a bit about that CD, Hidden Tears.
"Garude Apsa" ("Hidden Tears"), Stojka's 2005 CD dedicated to traditional and original Roma music
Stojka: It was because I said, "I have to do this music. I have to do something for my gypsy people. The only thing I can do for my people is music, you know. At the moment, in Europe, the gypsies have many problems. They were pushed out of every country where they went, and they were really oppressed. So, I said, "All I can do is music, and now I will make this CD, and I mean it's a little sign, but that's all I can do. I also do many benefit concerts, where we collect money and give it to the poor people.
AM: I guess the Roma people are a disadvantaged group in Austria and in Europe in general.
Stojka: Sure. Also discriminated against and beaten, and there are many neo-Nazis in several countries in Europe, you know. They go and beat my people and want to get them out of the country. It's a very complicated situation for the gypsies at the moment in Europe.
AM: You've said that Gypsy Swing is Europe's answer to American jazz. Can you explain that a bit more?
Stojka: Before Django Reinhardt there was the swing from Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller and all those great musicians, but this kind of music didn't exist. Django Reinhardt in France invented this music and gave an answer to American jazz. He found his own language in jazz. Real pure, European jazz music, which has nothing to do with American jazz music.
AM: And what is that language?
Stojka: You have to hear it and feel it. All I can talk about is the instrumentation – no drums, just acoustic guitars and the double-bass and in many groups a violin player. And the purest form of this is one microphone, no amplification, just playing acoustic. This is different sound that you don't find in American jazz.
AM: You played a song to your father at tonight's concert. Can you tell me about your relationship with your father?
Stojka: I lost my Dad to Alzheimer's. The worst thing was when he didn't know me anymore. He looked at me and didn't know who I was.

My Dad was my greatest mentor. Without him I would be nothing. I would not be a musician. He always pushed me to play guitar. He said, "Come on, and practice till the smoke comes from your fingers." And he was always there for his family. He was a carpet seller. He'd go on tour in Austria and always send money home for his kids. And well, I love him, and as I said before, the time when he didn't know me anymore was very sad for me. And then I sat down and wrote the song.
AM: You play many different styles of music. Why?
"Just Another City," a soul CD released in 2008 by Harri Stojka and Melinda Stoika
Stojka: Because I'm open to every kind of good music. I'm not in a box, you know. With jazz, I'm not in a box. If I hear good pop music, I love it. Christina Aguilera is to me the greatest singer in the world. I was a punk rock player and I'm very proud of it. It was a great time, it was a violent time, it was a naughty time. 1978. Then I was a heavy metal player. The acoustic guitar is the only way to express myself. It really comes from my heart and it sounds like how I hear it in my mind. When I play electric guitar, I hear the sound but another sound comes out from the guitar. There's no direct connection. With the acoustic guitar here is the sound and here it comes out from my fingers. And that's why I play this music.
AM: I've heard that Pat Martino was one of your great influences. Can you tell me about your experience of hearing him?
Stojka: We were on tour and we were driving on the highway and our manager put a CD in the player. I was sitting in the back and I was very bored and tired, and suddenly this man began to play "Sunny." And then I was, "Wow." It was like a flash. I wanted to play this jazz music. I wanted to be a jazz player. So I sat down at home and learned 100 solos by Pat Martino. I could play them with the record, in sync.
AM: Do you read music?
Stojka: No, it's all by ear. When I read music it's very, very slow. I don't need to because I'm my own boss. I don't play for other people. I live in my own world, you know. People play with me. I don't play with people, so I don't need to read music.
AM: So if someone asked you to just be in their band, you wouldn't do that?
Stojka: Not really, no. What for? People want to hear me play my kind of music and I don't have to play with any other musicians. I wouldn't go to New York to play with some jazz star, I would go to New York to build my own band and get a public for it. That's my idea of being a musician.
AM: You have toured India. Do you have a particular connection with the country?
Stojka on tour in India in 2010 for the film "Harri Stojka – Back to the Roots" (photo by Valerie Stojka)
Stojka: A film producer came to me and said, "Harri, let's go to India and take a look at the roots to see if we can find similarities with the Roma language and in the music. So we made this movie. It's a very funny movie. We found many similarities in language and the music. We had Indian musicians who played, and I played my guitar, and all was filmed and it was a great experience.
AM: And you've also been to Indonesia. How did that happen?
Stojka: It was a different tour. We played 11 concerts in Bali and four concerts in Jakarta. It's like paradise, Bali. The thing was that the people had never heard gypsy swing before. So after the first song they didn't know what to do. But by the second song, they started to get in the rhythm, and then we had standing ovations at the end of the concert. So you see, this music goes to every heart.
AM: What are your upcoming projects?
Stojka: Well, many things. When I go home I have to do another movie as an actor, as a Roma guitar player. So I play Harry Stojka in this film. Then we will do a CD with Roma music from Europe. It's my wife's idea. And many concerts are coming up. We have a band and it's called "Gypsy Orchestra." It's a collaboration between me and Indian musicians and Romanian Roma musicians. It's a big, big band. It's great.

LUSH Recommendations | By Millie.
If you love LUSH but find the store a bit overwhelming, then keep reading and I'll share with you my must haves!
When I think of LUSH the first things I think of are the bath products, starting with a bubble bar. My favourite is The Comforter (£4.75), you can break this up and use it multiple times which is great and I tend to get about 4 uses out if it, but obviously you can use as little or as much as you would like. It has a very sweet fruity smell, the kind that makes me think of LUSH, and it turns you bath pink! Next on the cards is another bath product, Bubblebear Luxury Bath Melt (£4.75), this unfortunately is limited edition, but if they bring it back this Christmas, stock up! This has a soft vanilla scent and is very moisturising on the skin so you can afford to skip the moisturiser.
Shower gels are something else I love to try out from LUSH and It's Raining Men (£4.75, 100g) has to be my favourite I've tried. Scented with honey it leaves your skin feeling soft and silky and of course smelling great. The thing I love about LUSH shower gels is that they come in 3 different sizes so if you travel a lot you can pick up a cute little mini.
Moving on to skincare, this is probably my favourite product ever from LUSH, it's the Tea Tree Water (£7.95, 250g). I use this everyday without fail and I can definitely see a huge difference in my skin, it looks fresher and I don't tend to get any blemishes, touch wood! I normally spray this onto a cotton pad or you can spray it straight from the bottle which is a great wake up call in the morning!
Finally, masks are another thing I love to get from LUSH, mainly because they are made with super fresh, natural indigents. My recent favourites is the Mask Of Magnaminty (£9.75, 315g), it has a minty scent which perks up and cools the skin, and you can also use this on your body too which I love. If you suffer with little bumps or blemishes on your shoulders, arms or back and of course face, this is a mask I would definitely recommend you trying out!
The comforter is a lovely product. It just smells divine! I really like the Lush Tea Tree Toner.
Lush is so heavenly! I love the sound of the Bubblebear Bath Melt! Plus super cute name right!
The scent of Lush products is something else!


← Thanks to Representative Bentivolio!
On June 27th, 2013, news of a draft bill in Congress to ban speed cameras in the District was released and Delegate Norton and others had a field day blasting it. In all likelihood the bill would have gone nowhere in Congress but instead of allowing this proposed intrusion on Home Rule die in a copy room in the House District Councilmember, Vincent Orange, decided give the draft bill life by sponsoring a Council bill with similar intentions. Late Friday afternoon CM Orange in letter to Representative Bentivolio claims he's "been working on this legislative proposal for a while" and thus felt compelled to introduce legislation that would impose a two year ban on new speed cameras to stave off Congress imposing a permanent ban on us. It's disturbing that District citizens have to worry about bad legislation being imposed on us from Michigan but it's even worse to have to deal with similarly bad legislation coming from Michigan Park.
On its face, the "Automated Traffic Enforcement Moratorium Act of 2013," is perfectly appropriate for a Councilmember to offer. The conditions, however, under which he offered the bill are rather telling about how far removed some on the Council are from having a mindset that's ready for statehood. If we want to be a state we must act like it. Deferring to a member of Congress on how to operate or not operate our speed cameras shows that the Councilmember seems more interested than appeasing Congress that standing up for their constituents. Mr. Orange has set bad precedent for several reasons.
First, this is a bad case of premature legislation. Representative Bentivolio's bill hadn't even been introduced yet. It's highly unlikely that it would make it past the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform because Chairman Issa has indicated he has no desire to meddle with the day-to-day operational affairs of the District. Even if the bill passed committee, it'd have to pass the House, then the Senate which also wouldn't happen as a standalone bill. Vincent Orange is guilty of premature legislating. It wasn't necessary to bow down at this time, if ever on this issue. Could it be added as an amendment to another bill, sure, but let's have that fight if it comes but cave in now unnecessarily.
Second, this situation enables ideologues who like to score cheap political points by picking on the District. Councilmember Orange just empowered a weak Congressman from Michigan and probably got the attention of other grandstanders in Congress who have little to offer their home Districts. Vincent Orange is doing the bidding of a Congressman from Michigan instead of standing up for the people who elected him against unwanted and unwarranted congressional intrusion. Can we ever win a legislative duel with Congress? No, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't stand up for ourselves, speak out against unwanted intrusions, and pick a fight with feckless thugs from time to time. This intrusion into our own local affairs is definitely worth a fight. Sadly, other grandstanders in Congress might see how by doing so little they can get so much accomplished if only they scare a member of the Council. Mr. Orange just enabled and empowered an ideologue who should have either been ignored or stood up to.
And finally, the cumulative effect of Mr. Orange's actions undercut the statehood movement. The phrase, statehood saboteur, was introduced to me just a few weeks ago by a member of our group who spoke of those who talk big on statehood one minute but the next do things to undercut the cause. Given Councilmember Orange's lead sponsoring of the imperfect DC Statehood Advocacy Act one minute then bowing down to a freshmen member of Congress seems to fit the mold of statehood saboteur. We want to be a state so that we have the ability and authority to govern ourselves and this demonstrates a lack of willingness and ability to do both. Why should we be a state if our Councilmembers just defer to the idiotic opinions of Santa Claus impersonators who have been in Washington for about 6 months? By bowing down to a lowly member of Congress on a bill whose viability was questionable Councilmember Orange undercut the statehood cause thus being a prime example of a statehood saboteur.
These bills crafted by a man from Michigan and a man from Michigan Park are a disturbing reminder of how the statehood battle is not just a legislative but a mental battle. Members of Congress need to have the mental maturity to move past trying to micro-manage affairs in the District when they have nothing substantive to offer their own constituents. And more importantly members of the Council need to have the mental maturity and personal confidence to not jump when Congress tells them to. We might not expect much from a member of Congress from Michigan but we should expect more from someone we elect from Michigan Park.


[Custom Masks] How to restrict alphabets and integers and allow only special characters using masks?
I want to allow only special characters and spaces in an input field. As we give "a" for alphabets and "9" for numerics and "*" for alphanumeric values in masks, what should we give for special characters and spaces?

Folliculitis is the painful infection of the hair follicles that can be treated with home remedies. Antibacterials found in the kitchen like white vinegar, garlic, turmeric and coconut oil are excellent against folliculitis. Equally effective are herbs like thyme, honeysuckle, and goldenseal. You can also try using tea tree oil, neem leaves and aloe vera that work well to get rid of the infection.
Your hair follicles are the small cavities around the roots of your hair. At first, you may notice whiteheads or small red bumps around your hair follicles. Once the infection spreads, it can turn into crusty sores that are slow to heal.
Folliculitis home remedies are very important to help treat the irritating bacterial skin infection. Folliculitis is actually a type of acne breakout, or skin abscess.You can have the condition anywhere on the body where there is hair, but it is most common on the face, scalp, armpits, back, chest, neck, thighs, and buttocks. The infection could affect just one hair follicle or multiple follicles.
An injury (from shaving, rough clothes or blockages caused by sweat, makeup, etc) to the hair follicle causes it to get infected and result in folliculitis. The presence of pustules alone does not indicate an infection; there are many noninfectious types of folliculitis, too.2 Remember, some people like those with diabetes or a weak immune system could be more prone to developing folliculitis than others.
How Do You Know You Have Folliculitis?
If you have tender pimples that itch or burn with a hair in the center, it is most likely folliculitis. The pimples may have pus in them and at the height of the infected stage, when the pimples break open, they may drain pus or blood, or both.
For those with scalp folliculitis, using a shampoo which contains tea tree oil is considered to be beneficial. Tea tree oil is believed to be a natural germicide. It has the ability to disrupt the permeability barrier of cell membrane structures of the disease-causing microbes. Regular use of tea tree oil shampoo can help prevent the recurrence of scalp folliculitis.
Like tea tree oil, garlic also has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. It is also a rich source of sulfur which is beneficial in preventing various skin disorders. However, care should be taken when opting for this herbal treatment. Since garlic is strong, applying garlic directly on the infected follicle can burn the skin.
Another easy to use herbal treatment is thyme. Thyme contains thymol, a chemical compound that has antibacterial properties that can help clear staphylococcus infection in folliculitis.
This herbal plant is believed to be a good home remedy for folliculitis. Its anti-inflammatory properties help in calming and soothing the aggravated follicles.7 Honeysuckle needs to be taken internally. Having a concoction made from boiling honeysuckle leaves with water will help fight the bacteria from within.
Goldenseal, a small perennial herb, is a good antimicrobic agent with bacteriostatic activity against a host of bacteria, especially staphylococcus aureus.8 Like honeysuckle, goldenseal should also be taken internally as soon as the symptoms appear. It can also be used by making a paste using powdered goldenseal and water. This paste needs to be applied directly to the affected area which is then covered with a clean bandage and left on overnight.
The bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus often causes bacterial folliculitis. Inadequate water treatment with chlorine or bromine will also lead to the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa that leads to hot tub folliculitis.Pseudofolliculitis barbae and ingrown hairs will cause barber's itch. Pityrosporum folliculitis is caused by a yeast infection.

Q: How to repeat ajax call until a specific value is returned by the server? I need to populate a progressbar, I have a service giving me the current progress.
My idea would be something like:
$http.get('service').success(function(response, status, headers, config){
         $scope.progress = response.progress;
         $scope.progressL = response.progress+"%";
         if(response.progress < 100){
             //repeat
         }

A: Just place the api call in a function, and let the handler call it:
function checkProgress(){
    $http.get('service').success(function(response, status, headers, config){
       $scope.progress = response.progress+"%";
       if(response.progress < 100){
           checkProgress();
       }
   }
}

Though, you'll probably want to cap it in some way. You might also want to add a timeout so that it waits a while between checks, something along the lines of $timeout(checkProgress, 5000).
EDIT for clarity: The reason this won't overflow your stack is that Angular's promises $q, which the Promise returned by $http.get('service') is implemented by, will trigger asynchronously.
So In the following case:
$http.get('service').success(function(){ console.log('callback'); });
console.log('Returning');
return;

The console will say "Returning" before "callback" every time.
When the resolution is guaranteed to be async, you're fine. Here's a demo of resolving async thousands of times: http://jsfiddle.net/23Ldaj42/
Were this not the case (as in, if $http callbacks were not guaranteed to be called async), instead you'd want to protect yourself by forcing it to be async as follows:
function checkProgress(){
    $http.get('service').success(function(response, status, headers, config){
       $scope.progress = response.progress+"%";
       if(response.progress < 100){
           $timeout(checkProgress); // This will perform async
       }
   }
}

A: You could call this recursively:

var callback = function(response, status, headers, config){
     $scope.progress = response.progress;
     $scope.progressL = response.progress+"%";
     if(response.progress < 100){
         $http.get('service').success(callback);
     }
};
$http.get('service').success(callback);
