In the world of Big Data, do you fall into the industry's Extra Needy category, or are you viewed as American Royalty? Perhaps Ethnic Second City Struggler or Small Town Shallow Pockets is a more apt description of you? Or how about Eager Senior Buyer or Tough Start: Young Single Parent?
While the media are focused on Facebook's privacy breaches, a growing multibillion-dollar industry of data brokers is mining personal information online in order to sell our data dossiers to financial and other companies – sometimes to the detriment of our personal finances.
Big Data collection also can be innocuous, when it is used for marketing. In this form, it's just the high-tech version of snail mail solicitations for credit cards, retail catalogs, or the services of a neighborhood real estate agent.
But Pam Dixon, the executive director of the World Privacy Forum, said evidence is growing that some consumers are being exploited by the unfettered sharing of personal data. Further, individuals generally do not have a legal right to see their dossiers, which are proprietary – "and we don't know what they're being used for," she said.
Medicare pays for the bulk of the medical care for Americans over 65, but a lot of their income is still eaten up by medical expenses.
The list of expenses is long. The lion's share goes toward various insurance premiums – for Medicare Part B coverage, Part D prescription drug coverage, and supplemental insurance, whether Medigap, a Medicare Advantage plan, or employer health insurance for retirees. The remaining costs, for copayments and deductibles, are also significant.
These out-of-pocket costs, when added together, averaged about $4,300 annually per person, finds a new study by researchers Melissa McInerney, Matthew Rutledge, and Sara Ellen King of the Center for Retirement Research.
Out-of-pocket costs consume a third of the amount that retirees receive from Social Security, which is the most significant source of retirement income for a wide swath of the nation's seniors, including many people in the middle-class. Half of seniors get at least half of all their income from the federal program.


Most people must have heard about the term "antibiotics" but very few people have heard about Probiotics. When you go to your doctor, they prescribe an antibiotic because you cannot wait for a few days to get well. You are in a hurry to go back to work and most doctors oblige to your request prescribe antibiotics to cure your illness quickly.
Before you take these antibiotics, it is important that you understand the gastrointestinal tract system of the body. The tract has 400 different species of organisms and bacteria that live in harmony with man and other species. These species are known to produce nutrients and vitamins that are required for the normal functioning of the body. There are many helpful bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract that help in metabolizing the digestive system and protect the body from harmful bacteria.
When you take antibiotics that they start killing the bacteria and organisms in the body without differentiating between the good and the bad microorganisms. When they kill the microorganisms the primary infection is removed but the good bacteria in the gut also get destroyed. People who take antibiotics for prolonged usually complain of problems like nutrition and vitamin deficiency.
When patients take antibiotics, it is important that they also take Probiotics that help in reducing the side-effects of antibiotics. In fact, most doctors are of the view that taking Probiotics must be made compulsory for people who take antibiotics. When you take Probiotics, it can help in reducing the chances of antibiotic induced bacteria. Probiotics helps in improving the good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and helps in maintaining the body balance. They also act as immune modulators and help in providing the right tools for vaccination in people who are susceptible to health problems.
Therefore it is important that you request your doctor to prescribe Probiotics along with antibiotics. Also, you can also them some natural antibiotics that you can take to prevent frequent health problems.

Invisible Wires Hold the Key to Making Solar Cells More Affordable
Written by AZoOpticsJan 26 2008
Millions of nearly invisible wires may hold the answer to making solar cells a more affordable source of alternative energy.
Nanowires grown on bare semiconductor surface (right side) produces strong light absorber that appears black (left side). Research to apply nanowires to solar cells is underway in the department of engineering physics at McMaster University.
The Department of Engineering Physics at McMaster University, Cleanfield Energy and the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) have formed a partnership to pursue the commercialization of nanowire technology in the production of solar cells.
The particular type of nanowire technology developed at McMaster is able to trap more sunlight and convert it to electricity more efficiently than traditional solar cells.

Spectacular Growth is Occurring Within The Thin-Film Solar Industry
"One of the biggest obstacles to widespread use of solar cells as a clean source of energy is cost," said Ray LaPierre, assistant professor of engineering physics at McMaster University and project leader for the collaboration. "Our work with nanowire fabrication at this stage shows the potential for greater energy efficiency with less costly materials."
Nanowires are one-dimensional structures with controlled lengths of one to five microns and diameters of 10 to 100 nanometres (a thousand times thinner than a human hair). They offer many advantages over thin film and crystal silicon currently used in solar cell production including low material utilization, use of low-cost substrates, defect-free materials with high conversion efficiency, and strong light trapping and absorption.
"We have been looking to add solar cells to our line of alternative energy products," said Tony Verrelli, president of Cleanfield Energy, manufacturers of the V3.5 vertical axis wind turbine. "Dr. LaPierre's nanowire research has the potential to make solar cells accessible to a wider range of people looking for a more sustainable energy source to meet their power needs."
The three-year initiative is valued at more than half a million dollars. The Ontario Centres of Excellence is providing $279,000 in funding and Cleanfield Energy is investing $300,000. McMaster is providing researchers and facilities. It will use the funding to add a post-doctoral fellow, and PhD and Master's students to the research team, and for materials and supplies.
"Supporting forward-thinking companies like Cleanfield and research centres like McMaster is what will help propel Ontario into an alternative energy leader," said Don Wilford, managing director of OCE's Centre of Excellence for Photonics. "This initiative shows strong promise in addressing the cost effectiveness of solar energy."

Kids will love hanging these cute gumball ornaments on the Christmas tree.
For an adorable handmade ornament that makes the perfect gift, this super-simple gumball snowman is a no-fail craft that even tiny hands can master.
Hot-glue the 3 gumballs together (grown-ups only), with the two large gumballs on the bottom as the snowman's body, and the smaller gumball on top as a head. Squeeze a tiny dot of hot glue in the center of the top gumball, and add an orange sprinkle to act as the snowman's nose.
To make a hat, cut off and discard the bottom third of spice drop. Hot-glue the cut end to the center of the black cardstock circle. Hot-glue the finished hat to the top of the gumball snowman's head.
Use a permanent marker to draw eyes, a mouth, and buttons.
Tie twine around the gumball snowman's neck for a scarf.
Hot-glue bottom of the snowman to the inner bottom half of a plastic fillable ornament; hold in place while the hot glue cools. Pour white sprinkles around the base of the snowman to act as fluffy snow. Add a few dots of hot glue to the rim of the fillable ornament, and attach the other empty half of the ornament. Thread ribbon through the hook at top of the ornament to hang from your own tree, or to give as a thoughtful gift for a special friend or relative.


New research commissioned as part of Age UK's Spread the Warmth campaign reveals that sadly more than 3 million people over 65 are not looking forward to Christmas this year.
When asked why 18% (540,000) said it was because they were going to be on their own. Also, 28% (840,000) said that Christmas brought back too many memories of those who had passed away.
Isolation and loneliness is a huge issue affecting many older people and can be felt particularly hard during difficult winters. Around 400,000 people over 65 stated that being lonely over the Christmas period was their main concern during the winter months, and 2.1 million people (over a fifth) were worried about not being able to get out and about as much because of shorter, darker days and poor weather conditions.
Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director General of Age UK, commented: 'We know that not being able to get out of the house and socialise with others is linked to feelings of isolation, and the adverse impact on a person's wellbeing of feeling lonely has been likened to that of obesity and smoking. Age UK's Spread the Warmth campaign aims to tackle not only the physical, but also the emotional issues faced by older people during winter.
Alice, 93, was supported by Age UK Rotherham through their befriending scheme after she reported feeling extremely isolated and lonely. Alice now has a befriender, Andrew, who takes her out every week.
Age UK and its local and national partners are working to keep older people warm and well. We're providing social activities and contact for older people, as well as tips on combating the cold at home and outdoors. We're keeping people warm and safe at home, giving out hot nutritious meals and offering information and advice 365 days a year.
We're also calling on the Government to boost the energy efficiency of older people's homes.
ITV's Text Santa is supporting Age UK in its bid to tackle the issue of isolation and loneliness. As one of the six chosen Text Santa charities, Age UK will benefit from a three hour text-a-thon to take place this Friday, during which Age UK, its local partners and older people who have used the charity's services will feature.
All money raised will be shared equally between the six charities and Age UK's share will fund services aimed at reducing the levels of loneliness felt by older people as part of the charity's Spread the Warmth campaign.
ITV Text Santa host Christine Bleakley explained why she is supporting Text Santa this year: 'Christmas is a vulnerable time for people who are on their own. Our message is a special one - at Christmas it's important to get back to basics and let people know that they're not alone and that there are people out there willing to listen and help.

Leica MP: back to the roots!
The Leica M3 was introduced in 1954, but the camera was available for testing in 1953 (60 lucky individuals got one!). Instantly the camera became a success and we may wonder why, if we look at the specs from todays elevated demands. At the start of the second golden age for the mechanical precision rangefinder camera, this model with four-lug bayonet fitting, clear and large viewfinder with selectable framelines, and the new film advance lever, a rapid wind lever with two strokes. The shutter can be released at the end of the advance stroke which allows for a fast operation. You need to practice this as the finger acrobatics are complicated. The Leitz people decided upon the shape of the lever after a lengthy study and some claim that there never has been a better shape. The shutter speed dial was a single click-stopped one, nonrotating and could be coupled with a clip-on exposure meter. Modest as these details seem today, for the working photographer they were a major advantage for improving the quality, style and range of their photography.
The mechanical quality of the M3 was an important aspect of the photographer's trust and confidence in the instrument. This quality could be seen in the elaborate surface shape and details in the rewind knob, frame selector, self timer lever and rewind lock level, and experienced in the very tight fit, coupled with an unsurpassed silky smooth operation of the moving parts.
The M3 was up to date during more than a decade, but the photographic scene changed in the direction of a more close-up and intimate style of photography, strongly promoted by people like David Bailey, who set the pace for the Swinging Sixties in fashion and reportage photography. Gradually the photographers wanted more automated features, and not because they did not care for the craft of the trade! With some automation, they could concentrate on the recording of the scene without any interruption.
Leica engineers were and are a very cautious and deliberate species and followed these trends was a wider time gap. Developed in stages (M5 and M6) with the current M7 they have introduced a camera that is highly efficient and delivers a fine functionality for most styles of photography. It was clear when detailing the specs for the M7, that the M6TTL had to go as they overlap substantially, but on the other hand it was evident that the M7 had strayed a bit too wide from the original roots in its evolution. Some observers complain about the battery dependance of the M7 and its (moderate) amount of electronically controlled functions.
This is the wrong view in my opinion: battery dependance has never been a hindrance to the working photographers who with their Nikon F5 and Canon EOS1 roam the desolate deserts and tropical rain forests to capture whatever catches their eye. Nor are electronical components unreliable when produced with care and the right choice of materials.
There is a case for a camera that is mechanically controlled and that is the feeling of the mechanical components working under load and the precise, sensitive feedback of the controls when being operated. Here one can find the roots of the MP.
Back to the future: the MP
Superficially considered, the MP, with the functionality of the original M6 (classic M6) makes little sense as there are already 135.000 M6 and about 50.000 M6TTL on the market.. The camera is available in silver chrome in all three rangefinder versions (0.58, 0.72 and 0.85) and in black paint only with the 0.72 finder. The new model has been launched first in Japan with a special version, called MP6 in a small batch of 400 cameras. The MP symbols stands for Mechanical Perfection. The tradition of the M4P designation has not been extended and Leica has returned to the original symbol from the M3 period, when the MP was the M3 with integrated Leicavit.
The significance of the MP goes beyond the mere specs. Let us first describe the specifications. It is has a fully mechanically controlled cloth shutter with speeds from 1 sec to 1/1000. There has been much discussion about this topspeed and the need for higher speeds. The situation is quite simple: the horizontally running shutter with cloth blinds cannot exceed the 1/2000. Above this speed the slit becomes so small that you will get interference bands on the film plane. The Leica M utilizes a three axis design (the Leicaflex and the Canon F1 had four axis designs) and the relatively short traveling distance across the body length sets limits to the braking distance and so we cannot get a higher speed with this design.
The TTL exposure metering has the same functionality as we know from the M6: see specs at the end of this report. The exposure method is the integral measuring of a small area of the negative frame. The white reflective spot on the first curtain corresponds to an image area that extends 6mm from the axis. While Leica calls this method a selective metering, it is better to refer to this as a small area integral metering to evade the association with a spot or semi-spot metering method. The Leica exposure metering is quite effective and reliable, but not foolproof. Some analysis of the scene in relation to the exposure method is always helpful.
The topcover is manufactured out of a solid piece of brass as is the case with the M7 topcover. This one is 2.5mm lower and in dimensions identical to the original M6 topcover. The glass windows are flush with the body ad do not have the protrusions of the M3. And there is no identification on the front of the cover. On the top we find the classically styled Leica name and the serial number has moved from the hotshoe to the topcover. While these changes are non-functional, they do give the MP a very classical and elegant look as to stress the basic simplicity of the mechanical internals.
The body is covered with a new very fine grained material offes an excellent grip and is superior to the old Vulcanite and the current material. During a three day use of the camera, I did not miss the additional handgrip. The materal has a faint feeling of softness and seems to breath a bit. When your hands are slippery from warm weather and/or excitement this cover still can be grasped firmly.
The black paint (lacquer) version looks beautiful and inspires the user to strive for the best possible photography. The black paint is meant to wear and so to give the camera a worn look. My version already showed some wear after some days. The MP is evidently a camera you buy and will never sell, because it becomes a tool with a history tightly coupled to its original buyer.
On the front we see the frame selector, lens lock button and rewind lock, closely modelled to the M3 style.
These rounded components fit the body style, but the more squarish ones form the M7 are pleasing too. This is a matter of taste. The rewind knob and the advance lever in M3 style are more important from a functional point of view. The MP is profiled as a professional camera and the automatic connotation with 'professional' is a high film consumption. By implication that seems to point to the situation where a reportage photographer needs to switch film fast and often in the middle of a shooting session. The pull-up rewind knob is squarely against this supposition. It is slow to operate and even with the additional M-rewind crank, film changing is not a very quick act. And its price is even for Leica hardened aficionados a stab in the eye. We will return to this topic later on in the report. But we should extent the notion of 'professional' to any photographer who uses his/her craft to get the required results without failure. An instrument that can be trusted at every instant of deployment and gives confidence during a long working life is quite useful.
The advance lever will be a matter of some controversy too. The M4 type is ergonomically the better one, as the thumb will not slip off the tip of the lever at the end of the advance stroke and its standoff position is better. The M3 lever allows the thumb to be on the verge of slipping off and gives a somewhat less secure feeling when operating the lever. The answer might be that the MP has the new Leicavit when fast shooting is required. From a purist view the shape of the M3 lever is more in harmony with the body.
The MP is not the classical M6 with some M3 details added. Knowing the Leica people's drive for perfection, one would be surprised if they would not find areas for improvement. The important new fine grained bodycover has already mentioned.
Internally TTL electronics are new. The M6 electronics were a hybrid design and the mechanical/electronical interface was partly done by analogue electrical means. Now the electronics are fully digital (as in the M7) and have improved reliability and a lower battery consumption. There is now a battery warning signal to the right of the exposure diodes.
The shutter curtains are more light tight and the occasional light leaks of the older shutter curtains are now extinct. Even more important is the improved mechanical geometry of the shutter. As has been explained in the M7 review the shutter curtains have an acceleration and deceleration moment, when speed is building up and the curtain mass must be braked. Here we have an area of variable geometry and a careful redesign of the rollers and springs and braking elements has resulted in a very even movement over the travel length. Occasionally users have noted very small darker bands at the sides of the frame as a result of the shutter movement being too slow at the start and stop moments. With the new design there should be no problem.
The rewind knob has a very useful friction now. Every Leica user has experienced the following: you rewind the film and halfway your fingers slip. Then the force of the curled film pulls the rewound part back and you have to start all over. The MP rewind knob has been designed with an inherent friction that is equal to the film force. Now you can remove your fingers from the knob and the film stays where it is. I did try it during my test of the camera and it works.
Gears and other moving parts have been improved by a new shape and surface treatment, which will increase the mean time before failure and enhances the smoothness of the operation. The current manufacturing procedures and assembly methods allow for a slight tolerance in the selection of matching parts and some users, when comparing the M6 or M7 with a finely tuned M3 will notice a certain roughness when transporting the film or pressing the two way shutter release. With the MP there is no such thing: all operations are extremely smooth and in direct comparison to my M3 even show improvements in smoothness and noise reduction. I checked several MP models and all were alike.
The viewfinder has been improved too. The well-known flaring of the rangefinder patch under adverse light conditions since the M4-2 has been eliminated completely. As I am very sensitive to this phenomenon I compared my M7 in identical situations to the MP and could indeed notice that the MP has not the slightest propensity to flare where the M7 shows stray light in the finder patch. The technical solution is to enlarge the hole in the reflective mirror and add a lens element to the frameline holder. This is a most welcome improvement. Technically it can be fitted to older and current models and here Leica should make a clear statement.
In use the camera is functionally the same as an M6, M6TTL or M7. The exposure metering system is identical and so the percentage of successful pictures is the same with all cameras. The noise level is identical too. The M7 of course has no long times escapement and the MP will have that subtle noise at speeds below 1/15 of a second. Functionally there is a draw.
When using the camera in the field, the situation is different. I used the camera during three days and mixed the MP with the M7 in identical situations. The city of Lyon was the location where Leica showed the MP to the press. The museum of Lumiere was the exact spot: Here the movies were born and it was Edison who created the movie film that we know today as the 35mm film. The films used were Kodak Ektachrome 100VS, 100G and Kodak RS200/400/800. Along the river there was an artist exhibition of painters and here the light situations, specifically in contre-jour light were fleeting and changing every split second. This is the domain of the M7 without doubt. When strolling through the old parts of the medieval inner city, the advantage of the M7 diminished and the MP started to shine.
I was quite sceptical of the camera when I handled one more than two years ago. But I have to revise my opinion. When you take the MP in your hands, there seems to flow an emotional charge through your hands to your brain and heart that forces you to take your photography to a higher level. The camera handles and functions so well mechanically, that pressing the shutter is such a conscious act of capturing the exact moment, that you are very eager to equate the excellence of your photographs to the excellence of the mechanixs. Such is the powerof using an exquisite tool that you feel a certain deception when your photos are not good enough to be taken with such a camera. And a drive to improve your photography at the same instant!
To sum up
The MP is a camera that you need to touch with your hands and to experience directly. The black laquer version has a very strong emotional signal that relates back to the original M3 and forces you to adjust your photography and photographic style. Photography is, as every creative act, partly an emotional activity and here the MP is paramount. Functionally close to and surpassed by the M7, this camera, the MP, strikes a chord in every disciplined photographer's heart by its pure mechanical operations.
The MP inspires confidence in your photography, and forces you to reconsider your approach to photography. As remarked above, the equation 'fast film change = professional' is not true as a general statement.There are many situations and photographic assigments (paid and self defined or nonpaid) where the 36 exposures on one roll of film will be sufficient for the task and when more exposures are needed. one can plan a break in the shooting session for reloading the MP or M7. I dwell a bit on this topic as there seems to be the assumption that Murphy's law will act when taking pictures, specifically when using Leicas. This law states that as soon as you have exposed your 36th negative, the best opportunity will pop up and you cannot photograph this. A first corrolary is that the best pictures will never be made because they will occur after you have exposed all your films. A second corrolary states that exposing film is useless as the good photo opportunities will always occur after you run out of films or exposures on a film.
The MP is the camera for photographers who want to and can control their photograpy completely. They are masters of the craft of photography and therefore can command the situation and anticipate on coming events and acts. This mastery of craft and anticipation of the dynamics of the situation, will be more secure and, let us face it, more enjoyable when the tool is in harmony with these goals. A fully manual and mechanical camera that, fitting in your hands, translates your aims with the smooth precision of a finely tuned instrument, has added value. We know that an electronically controlled shutter has more accurate speeds than a mechanically controlled one. But the deviations of the mechanical shutter are so small as to not noticeable on most occasions. The shutter mechanism at work inside the body is a masterpiece of engineering where springs, gears and shafs and ballbearings are made of highgrade steel with meticulous surface treatment and assembled with a tight fit. This cannot be seen, but it can be sensed and heard. It is supported by the metal controls of the camera, that are also treated with great care to transcend the workmanlike quality inside the camera. And these qualities are experienced during picture taking and they subconsciously force the user to aim for a higher level of image quality. When taking pictures with the MP, I could detect this feeling inside myself. The MP radiates a very strong and emotional signal of photographic competence.
The M7 and the MP. Two quite desirable instruments and both have their role and position in the Leica world. Ideally you would want to have both: one for the logic and efficiency, the other for the emotion and the style. But not everyone can afford to buy both. Which one to choose? When we look at the digital world and its developments, such a question would be one for Trivial Pursuits. When we seach for a tool that can fathom the essence of photography as a craft, the MP would be the instrument of choice. Leica succeeded in creating a tool, a camera, that is as emotional as an M3 and surpasses that camera in its engineering and mechanical qualities.The MP is more limited in its functionality than the M7. The MP will suit the photographer who as a first step mentally creates the images and then starts to implement them in the physical world. The M7 is for the photographer who with intuition will react spontaneously to the dynamics of the environment and creates when taking the pictures. Most photographers will use both ways and depending on the frequency of one method above the other should look at both cameras with this bias in mind.

Chicago wheat futures rose as short-covering and hopes of more export demand supported, although the continuing lacklustre U.S. export performance limited rises.
Soybeans eased for a second consecutive session and corn was firm.
"Wheat is seeing some buying interest today after its recent falls without any real change to background factors," said Matt Ammermann, commodity risk manager with INTL FCStone.
Chicago Board of Trade most-active May wheat was up 0.8% at $4.60-1/2 a bushel at 1217 GMT. Wheat fell 1.2% on Monday on technical selling and sluggish export demand for U.S. supplies.
May corn was up 0.1% at $3.72 a bushel. May soybeans fell 0.08% to $9.05 a bushel.
"It is short covering in wheat," said Ole Houe, director of advisory services at brokerage IKON Commodities. "We continue to see solid tender demand globally, even though not quite reflected in the weekly U.S. sales just yet."
Ethiopia's government has issued an international tender to buy a hefty 400,000 tonnes of milling wheat, traders said on Monday.
"There are some fears about flooding in the U.S. delaying spring wheat planting," Ammermann said. "But the background picture for the wheat market remains lacklustre."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Monday reported weekly U.S. wheat export inspections of 353,727 tonnes, below trade expectations for 400,000 to 700,000 tonnes.
Wet weather in parts of the U.S. could disrupt corn planting.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is due to travel to Nebraska on Tuesday to tour the devastation left by floods in the Midwest which have killed at least three people and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

Australia's initial artificial reef ball that incorporates cremated continues to be has been dropped into the ocean off a Mid West town in Western Australia.
The notion began with the Jurien Bay Men's Drop, which was seeking to grow an artificial reef, consisting of concrete balls, that experienced been laid at the neighborhood marina a few several years ago.
More than that time, the reef has captivated far more than 50 species of fish and other sea life, generating a vibrant snorkel path for locals and guests.
Organiser of the undertaking and men's lose member Ian Stiles mentioned the widow of a earlier member Ron Sutherland, who died two many years in the past, asked for his ashes by some means be incorporated into one of the concrete reef balls.
Soon after a painstaking 18 months, Mr Stiles was able to get the Relaxation in Reef venture accredited by State Government and the local council.
"It's been a long tough wrestle to get this much, preventing bureaucrats and whatsoever but we've been obtaining a good deal of support from regional bureaucrats," Mr Stiles mentioned.
The approach includes pouring the ashes into a concrete mixture just before environment the mould for two weeks and then dropping the ball from a boat into ocean to be a portion of the dive trail.
Mr Sutherland's spouse Gabie explained it was fitting that her late spouse was the very first to have his ashes included into an artificial reef.
"He liked spear fishing, scuba diving, fishing, he had a boat and he'd go out into his boat and his sons would be part of him," Ms Sutherland mentioned.
"He liked the fish, the wildlife, the variety of the ocean, becoming in the drinking water and currently being a component of the ocean when he'd be scuba diving.
Ron's son, Ben Sutherland, watched with his mom and two brothers as his father's reef ball was decreased into the sea this week.
"I went out for a swim all around to check out out dad's new reef ball," Mr Sutherland explained.
"It is presently received some fish swimming around it and I seen a nice infant Baldchin groper … that was one of his favorite fish to see when he went scuba diving and search at and adhere to about.
The Jurien Bay Men's Drop has acceptance for one hundred a lot more Rest in Reef balls to lengthen their artificial reef over the next three a long time.
Mr Stiles stated he previously has 4 much more people with their liked one's ashes prepared to be integrated into the reef.
The CD sent with a wealth of individual info on Georgia voters. From the lawsuit submitted from Secretary of State Brian P. Kemp.

Cointelegraph Consulting: Terra's bullish case after Columbus-5 upgrade
October 8, 2021 by Ray Schuetz 0 Comments
Terra's (LUNA) three-month rally saw its token rise by 674%, catapulting LUNA to the ranks of potential so-called "Ethereum killers." LUNA has been on a tear lately because Terra's most recent upgrade, Columbus-5, has effectively overhauled its tokenomics and brought significant changes to its technology.
LUNA currently sits in fourth place in total value locked (TVL) among other blockchains, indicating its growing popularity for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and also underpins its long-term viability.
Terra is a layer-one blockchain developed by South Korean startup firm Terraform Labs and was released in January 2018. It has a payments-focused ecosystem powered by algorithmic stablecoins and aims to be the infrastructure for all the apps being built by Terraform Labs and the Terra community.
Terra already serves real-life utility, particularly among merchants. Arrington Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Pantera Capital have committed about $150 million to fund projects based on Terra.
Terra's moving parts
Terra is built using Cosmos, which uses the Tendermint delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. This makes it possible to scale up to thousands of transactions per second along with near-instant finality at much cheaper fees compared to Etheruem. Cosmos is seeing use by other major projects such as Binance Chain, Crypto.com and Cosmos Hub.
Currently, Terra has 139 validators, with a total of 341 million staked LUNA, according to Terra Analytics.
An important detail about the Terra blockchain is that it utilizes a dual token system, which involves Terra (LUNA) and TerraUSD (UST). LUNA serves as the protocol's utility token, while UST is the native stablecoin.
LUNA's tokenomics ensure the stability of UST and other stablecoins. UST, on the other hand, is an algorithmic stablecoin introduced in September 2020. This means that UST doesn't require any centralized or collateralized backing, which helps it avoid dependence on central entities and other centralization issues.
This is contrary to other stablecoins pegged to assets like the United States dollar, as UST's value against the greenback is maintained by a constant burning of equivalent LUNA tokens. In other words, UST is produced when an equal amount of LUNA is burned.
For instance, if the price of UST goes above $1, the algorithm would burn more LUNA to mint UST and bring the value back to $1. Conversely, if the price becomes less than $1, UST would be swapped to LUNA to prop up the price.
Terra ecosystem
Terra is constructing a strong foothold in the DeFi scene, with its whole ecosystem circled on TerraUSD. Three major decentralized applications (DApp) are already utilizing the stablecoin, including Mirror, Chai and Anchor.
Mirror is a synthetic asset protocol that replicates world stock markets and allows users to invest even if they don't have regular access to these markets. On the other hand, Chai is like an e-wallet for fast and cheap mobile payments in Korea, but it also plans to expand in other Asian countries, such as Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan. And lastly, Anchor is a savings protocol, providing UST-based fixed-income investments for users. Anchor was introduced in March but has quickly become a popular yield farming avenue, ranking third behind Aave and Compound in TVL.
"LUNA-r" landing?
The long-term value behind Terra is based on the utility of LUNA and the blockchain infrastructure. The DApps in the Terra ecosystem are designed to increase UST demand, reducing the LUNA supply and making it more valuable in the long run.
In August 2021, the listing of Wrapped LUNA and TerraUSD on Coinbase Pro was believed to be one of the catalysts for its rally since, in the past, LUNA was tradable only to a number of non-major exchanges.
Another catalyst is the anticipation of the Columbus-5 upgrade, which brought significant modifications to Terra that enabled higher scalability and greater cross-chain interoperability. The price of LUNA soared from under $10 in July to about $41 on Oct. 6, and its market capitalization is already above the $18-billion mark, earning it the 11th spot in top crypto assets, according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro.
The Sept. 30 Columbus-5 upgrade is deemed to draw a plethora of new projects to Terra, which will put more deflationary pressure on LUNA coins and make the case for a more bullish valuation.

Prior to the upgrade, the burned LUNA tokens go to a community pool so they can be reinvested to build more applications. This burned LUNA is referred to as "seigniorage," which essentially refers to the face value of the newly issued currency minus their production costs. Post-upgrade, those burned LUNA tokens are burned permanently, making LUNA more scarce.
During the past three months, LUNA experienced a fairly steady supply flow, albeit reduced significantly since February 2021. Up to this point, the total circulating supply of LUNA is under 400 million tokens ($17.6 billion currently), and the total supply reduced is 81 million ($3.6 billion). The effects of the permanent LUNA token burning will gradually be felt in the months to come.
The latest upgrade also enhances Terra's usability as it opens up to interchain assets in other Cosmos-integrated blockchains such as Solana and Polkadot. This was made possible through Terra integrating with Cosmos' Stargate protocol. Aside from opening up to more DApps in the Cosmos ecosystem, the Wormhole bridge, which is also part of the Columbus-5 upgrade, is designed to reduce the friction of UST moving to Solana, facilitating tokenized assets to move quickly across chains.
Lastly, another major overhaul is the increased yield for staking LUNA, one of the causes for its increased TVL. With all these factors in play, LUNA token price has been performing above expectations. This is due to how the value of the LUNA token is related to the growth of the Terra blockchain. As the DApps on the Terra blockchain generate more UST demand, this also reduces LUNA's supply and renders it more valuable for holders.
However, there are two sides to the coin, and it is even more worth mentioning, especially amid the intense race of layer-one blockchains. That other side is the scenario where a sustainable demand for Terra and its stablecoins fails to exist, which would spell trouble for long-term holders of LUNA.

A Note To Journalists On Tibet Uprising Day
tibettruth 10 Mar 2019 10 Mar 2019 Leave a comment
Tibetan Youth Congress Mobilized In Delhi on March 10, 2019
Image:rahulsingh
Today is the commemoration of the Lhasa Uprisings of 1959, 1987-89 and 2008 when Tibetans took to the streets to oppose Chinese rule, at a disturbing cost to lives and individual freedom. The response from China's regime was brutal, mass arrests, torture, Tibetans gunned-down, the record of these protests is bloody indeed.
After the March 10 1959 uprising the Chinese regime was quick to forge the narrative of a failed rebellion, releasing staged footage of Tibetans surrendering and laying down rifles. It was a story taken up by global media and decades later remains a journalistic cliché when reporting on the event.

No doubt this brings a warm glow of satisfaction to China's Ministry of Propaganda, yet in consistently framing events in Lhasa on that day as a failure journalists are offering a slanted and less than complete account. For example in focusing on the military supremacy of China's troops the courage, determination of Tibetans is ignored.
Yet it was their resistance and heroism which organized and protected the Dalai Lama's journey into exile. That action resulted in the establishment of the exiled Tibetan government, creation of Tibetan settlements in India and the preservation and promotion of Tibetan culture for the tens of thousands of Tibetans who followed their leader across the Himalaya.

Moreover armed resistance to Chinese rule had predated the Lhasa Uprising (Tibetans inflicting significant losses on China's army), this guerilla movement continued until the 1970s, only to be betrayed by then President Nixon and his advisor Henry Kissinger.

In truth the Tibetan spirit of defiance for Tibet's national freedom was not defeated in Lhasa on March 10 1959, as evidenced by the continuence of the struggle, and revealed in mass-demonstrations of the 1980s and during 2008. This is not a failure, but a response of determination, bravery and hope. Such commitment continues today as Tibetans and their supporters around the world come together to raise the national flag of Tibet.
Raising Tibet's Flag At Tibetan Youth Congress March, Delhi March 10 2019
Journalists who write on this matter need to be mindful of these factors and think carefully about uncritically repeating China's official line on events in Lhasa at that time. Is it really about being 'balanced' when talking of a 'failed uprising', minus important factual context? We wonder if the same correspondents and news agencies consistently describe the United States involvements in Afghanistan or Vietnam as 'failed military campaigns'?

To anyone who would like to spend a few minutes online in support of Tibet's just cause then we've excellent news for you!
March 10 is the Commemoration of the Lhasa Uprising of 1959, an important date within the Tibetan calendar.
It serves as a focal point to remember all those Tibetans who have given so much for Tibet's national freedom and provides an opportunity for the exiled Tibetan community to remind the world about the plight of occupied Tibet and the hopes of its people to be free from Chinese occupation and tyranny.
Now not everyone can make it to their nearest Tibet rally, of which there will be many world-wide on that day. But there is an action you could take that's in total solidarity with the March 10 protests.
With a few swipes and taps of the screen you can ensure that the the political aspirations of the Tibetan people reaches your political representative and government. This is critically important, as many within the political establishment are either unaware or misinformed about Tibet. Ask yourself, does your representative realize that Tibet was an independent nation, which has been illegally occupied? Let them know between now and March 10.
We've provided all the information needed in a Tibet Action Pack, it's simple, will take only a few online moments, yet is powerful and critical information that presents the facts on Tibet's independence and also poses an important question.

The quality of the work - the majority of the work this year was outstanding making you stop, look hard and then want to look again. Having been involved in these awards since their creation three years ago it is clear that the bar is continually rising as we all compete against each other for recognition. Long live the fierce but healthy competition that is the WPPED Cream awards.
The source of the work - this year saw the largest number of entries in this category from all over the WPP network. As such the judges were continually confronted with visually rich ideas and images from a wide variety of studios making this one of the most challenging and dynamic categories to be a part of.
The experience of the judges - I want to thank Peter Knapp (Landor), Greg Quinton (The Partners), Glenn Tutsell (The Brand Union), Stephen Bell (Coley Porter Bell), Eugene Bay (VBAT), Howard Smiedt (OgilvyAction), David Villiers (G2), Peter Chodel (Addison), Sophie Lutman (Lambie-Nairn) and Stuart Wood (Fitch) - some of the most experienced, knowledgeable and astute creative minds you could ever want to spend time with, and they are much of the reason I believe it is important to get together every year to judge these awards as it is always worthwhile having your ears and eyes opened by the insight of others.
Finally, well done to JWT for their work with The Times of India, the category's Crème de la Crème - ambitious, memorable, beautifully crafted and, I feel, a true eye opener.
