In its present state and with the manner that most Bitcoin users tend to use the platform, the chance for a widescale collusion of users to hack the Bitcoin network is possible but unlikely. The issue becomes more complex as the viability for Bitcoin as a standard payment becomes a greater possibility. Since Bitcoin functions on the fringe right now, it's not likely to be the victim of collusion by its users.
Ultimately, if Bitcoin became a serious form of currency it would become subject to government regulation on a level seen with all electronic money. The illusory concept of money is not a new one. In our current financial system, there are not enough physical dollars and real, tangible assets to pay out if every customer attempted to withdraw their funds from their bank at the same time. A centralized currency like the U.S. dollar does not have the physical assets to back it up. A centralized currency makes it possible to essentially print more money on demand as it is needed.
Bitcoin is an example of decentralized currency. It essentially means that there is a finite number of Bitcoins that can never be increased. Currently, there is a maximum of 21 million Bitcoins that can be mined at any given time. Nobody actually controls the system, but there is a system of safeguards in place to prevent abuse. With no approval process necessary, anybody can participate in the mining process and reap the rewards of that process. It's estimated that with 21 million Bitcoins, the last Bitcoin won't get mined until the year 2140.
One real possibility that could pose a threat to the integrity of the Bitcoin system involves the system of mining that is in place. Miners are individuals who maintain the public transaction log known as a blockchain. The system makes it profitable for miners to uphold the integrity of the system. One theory that has been proposed is the possibility of an attack that grows as the result of a few selfish miners who seek to receive a disproportionate share of revenue. The theory goes that otherwise law-abiding miners would then jump on the colluding bandwagon and tip the scales of justice until the Bitcoin currency is no longer decentralized.
Bitcoin's key selling point asserts that there will never be more than 21 million Bitcoins in existence. While this is admirable and largely possible with a small system, the reality is that this sort of restriction can't be enforced long term if the system is to continue expanding. In the current system, there are several nodes that are competing to win an award at any given time. When the node wins, it becomes part of the transaction history and the winner gets some money in their account. The system is designed to continually diminish the awards to cap the limit of wild Bitcoins at 21 million.
If a group (node) decides to stop enforcing the rules, then it's possible that larger rewards could be issued. The system is designed to block these rewards, but this might not work as expected in a corrupted system. In the face of becoming a real monetary system that functions as a real currency, individual groups may face growing temptation to collude in order to obtain greater rewards. In a modern era of social media and lightning fast communications, it's possible for collusion to occur. Essentially, this is selfish mining taken to the next level where the nodes that are intended to protect the system are actively devaluing it.
The manner in which collusion could effectively change the system is more conniving and sinister than it first seems. In the current system, a group that decided to change the rules and attempt to award themselves more Bitcoins than allowed would find their higher rewards getting blocked from the network. As this continues, a new network of rogue nodes could develop and begin to recognize each other. The group could then continue to operate as a chasm in the Bitcoin network and establish themselves as the official Bitcoin network. If this were to occur, the Bitcoins from the original network would become worthless. This fork of the network could be destabilizing to the system, and it may result in the creation of what could be deemed as Bitcoin banks.

Too dense? Too sparse? Two minds.
By Emma Caplan
It's interesting to hear the shared, and often strong, opinions of many economics and real estate professionals (for instance, Tom Davidoff, Andrey Pavlov, Scott Brown, Jens von Bergmann, and others) that say Vancouver needs more supply-side policy – that we're simply not keeping up with housing demand, we're not dense enough, we need more multi-family housing, etc., etc. Yet, contrasted against municipal policies that dictate just the opposite, this may not leave Vancouverites with much more than confusion.
The staggering imbalance between residential-zoned land without apartment buildings (generally anything more than three suites per lot) and various other allowable uses, including multi-family residential, is succinctly illustrated in this map from GRIDS Vancouver and recently featured in Ken Ohrn's article.
A clear example in line with this is the issue presented in a recent article by Kenneth Chan about the City looking to abolish an approved 2011 policy that allows for denser redevelopments in Chinatown through added height (in response to pressure from anti-development activists). Chan mentions this policy was adopted with the intention to help revitalize Chinatown through increased population (a great example of the densification Vancouver needs). Since 2011, six new mixed-use projects have been approved or completed, totalling 550 new housing units.
The City admitted these redevelopments have created "more vibrancy to the neighbourhood, especially at night with new restaurants." However, despite this positive start and for several reasons, the City went ahead and approved the new redevelopment policy on July 10. According to Chan's follow-up article, it will:
Restrict maximum building heights to 70 feet, with unspecified conditional allowances to up to 90 feet, for the area defined as HA-1A Chinatown South (the previous limit was 120 feet),
Restrict the number of floors that can be squeezed into the specified heights, with limits of five floors within 50 feet and seven floors within 75 feet for HA-1 Historic Pender Street, and six floors within 70 feet and eight floors within 90 feet for HA-1A Chinatown South,
Restrict building widths to 50 feet or 75 feet, depending on the zoning district, as measured from the streetfront, and
Ban the ability of developers to use on-site or cash contributions towards heritage, cultural, social, or affordable housing elements in exchange for greater height allowances.
Vancouver has at least some density. A neat example was Tweeted by GRIDS Vancouver: There are 4 massive 1911 (approx) houses at 14th and Quebec, clearly all identical when first built. About 2x as dense (FSR-wise) as what's allowed in Vancouver RS zones today. Yesterday's cookie-cutter McMansions eventually become today's dense+cheap 'neighbourhood character'.
Unfortunately, smaller-scale solutions like this just isn't enough. As pointed out by Anne McMullin of the Urban Development Institute, "We believe the previous Chinatown area plan, approved in 2011, struck a positive balance between heritage preservation and the need for revitalization to accommodate population growth and support local merchants. At a critical time in our region's housing crisis, we need to be trying to accommodate more housing options, not even less than were previously approved."

Several websites(1) and other media (2, (3) report that the poisons in ragwort (pyrrolizidine alkaloids) can be absorbed through the skin and therefore all skin contact with ragwort plants should be avoided. To find out if this information is accurate we went looking for the original source of this information. Up until now we have been able to trace these reports to two sources.
1) Paragraph 4.1.1 in a report from the World Health Organization in 1988 (4). Regarding absorption of pyrrolizidine alkaloids through the skin this report refers to an article written by Brauchli and colleagues (5). These scientists state that toxicological research on rats has proved that the pyrrolizidine alkaloids from the roots of comfrey (Symphytum officinale, Borganinaceae) can be absorbed through the skin. However, the amount of absorbed pyrrolizidine alkaloids appears to be much lower than when they where administered orally. The amount of pyrrolizidine alkaloids found in the urine of the rats was 20 to 50 times less than was measured when it was given orally. As long as the plant has not been eaten the pyrrolizidine alkaloids are in a N-oxide form and are not poisonous. When the plant is eaten they are transformed, mostly in the small intestine, into free alkaloids that are poisonous and that will damage the liver. The treatise of Brauchli and colleagues (1984) states that pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are absorbed through the skin are rarely, if ever, transformed into free alkaloids. We have not been able to find any more recent scientific studies on this subject.
2) Report on the internet by Dr. Knottenbelt (Liverpool University). This veterinarian is quoted on the internet quite a lot, because he stated, during a debate in the House of Commons, that the toxic substance in ragwort can almost certainly be absorbed through the skin (6). In response to this we contacted Dr. Knottenbelt. Through an email he informed us that there is no scientific proof for his statements. He writes that he himself has suffered liver damage after manually removing ragwort plants. The results of this 'experiment' have not been published and, according to us, are not obtained through a good scientific trial.
Through our research about the sources of the reports on the danger of touching ragwort, we conclude that there is no substantial evidence that there is a health risk for people. The amount of pyrrolizidine alkaloids that might be absorbed through the skin is very low and there is no proof that these alkaloids are being changed into a toxic form. Ragwort can cause an allergic skin reaction upon contact; compositae dermatitis (7). This allergy can appear after touching or eating the plant. This allergy is not caused by the pyrrolizidine alkaloids but by other substances that are common in many of the members of the Sunflower family (sesquiterpene lactones)(8).
(4) World Health Organisation. 1988. Environmental health criteria for Pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Published under the joint sponsorship of the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Health Organization. Geneva.
(5) Brauchli J., J. Luthy, U. Zweifel & C. Schlatter. 1982. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids from Symphytum officinale L. and their percutaneous absorption in rats. Experientia (Basel) 38: 1085-1087.

Q: Calculating MSE: why are these two ways giving different results? I am having some doubt regarding the calculation of MSE in R.
I have tried two different ways and I am getting two different results. Wanted to know which one is the correct way of finding mse.
First:
model1 <- lm(data=d, x ~ y)
rmse_model1 <- mean((d - predict(model1))^2)

Second:
mean(model1$residuals^2)

A: In principle, they should give you the same result. But in the first option, you should use d$x. If you just use d, recycling rule in R will repeat predict(model1) twice (as d has two columns) and the computation will also involve d$y.
Note that it is recommended to include na.rm = TRUE to mean, and newdata = d to predict in the first option. This makes your code robust to missing values in your data. On the other hand you don't need worry about NA in the second option, as lm automatically drops NA cases. You may have a look at this thread for potential effect of this feature: Aligning Data frame with missing values.

Paltrox RX : My conclusion is predicated around my assumption that almost all coworkers have an inclination about Male Health. Those were some harsh words. It provides me a double digit advantage. It's best to concentrate on doing what one knows even though I'll be a ton higher off. I'm still not bound that cognoscenti understand Male Health. Thereforem I am truly glad when it comes to Male Enhancement.


Today's review is on Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket Lip gloss in Jesse; this was one of the items that came in my recent package. I purchased this lip gloss for $5.00 (Pocket Rockets retail for $19.00) at HauteLook.com during their most recent Urban Decay sale.
I'm not really digging this Jesse guy in the photo and trust me when I say this, I love my tattooed rocker boys. This image makes me want to wrap tape all around the top of the lip gloss, just so I don't have to see Jesse in his underwear.
Jesse is a blackberry shade with gold sparkles. I loved the color and thought this would be a nice gloss for fall. Unfortunately, I couldn't get over the horrible maple syrup scent of this product. I had hoped that the smell would dissipate after some wear; but the repugnant scent began to give me a headache and I took it off after only 10 minutes of wear.
I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone!!! The color is nice, but not unique and the scent is just too repulsive and overwhelming. This Pocket Rocket will be lifting off into my trash can.
I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on Urban Decay's Pocket Rockets.
I was mortified by the smell!!!

Direct answers — quick and relevant
Direct Answers, also known as featured snippets, is a new function from Google, which provides a direct answer after typing a given phrase in a search engine. Information is downloaded from websites which best reflect what the user wishes to know. Such answer can be in various forms, e.g. displayed text or a video.
It needs to be said that it is significant convenience, which in many cases saves time and reduces the need to click links or to browse websites to find the most relevant result. The user quickly receives specific information which is shown first in the search results page — between Adwords advertisements and other search results.
For a long time, Google has been working hard to enable users to receive information they look for without the need to go to external sites. And finally, they have succeeded. On the other hand, it appears that Direct Answers is a natural thing in the era of new mechanisms present on the Internet, such as artificial intelligence or voice search.
Because the Direct Answers function has been only available for a few months now, not all countries and not all phrases and searches will produce an answer in this form. But let's be patient — we can rest assured that Google will be gradually expanding the range of questions and their level of complexity, and results obtained in the DA box will soon become a norm.

David King of Israel... The old city spreads out before my eyes in wide-screen panorama. As I write, the voice of Condoleeza Rice wafts into my ears from a neighboring room...then the newscast continues in Hebrew. A huge crane rises over the church towers, the domes, the minaret. Jerusalem tears down the decrepit, restores the patrimony, builds anew in timeless Jerusalem-stone modernity. This elegant Jerusalem style inhabits me. Like Venice, it is imprinted in every cell.
I watched the crane turn slowly on its axis and thought, "This is the true peacemaking, this construction, this solid 'we are here to stay' stone."
Here in peaceful Jerusalem, opulent with flowering trees and shrubs, chirpy sparrows and sparkling children, it is hard to believe what is happening in Gaza. But the news is eloquent and eminently convincing.
I arrived on the evening of the 12th, forgot to set my watch ahead one hour, almost missed breakfast the next morning, rushed off to my first appointment on the terrace of the David Citadel Hotel --with members of the Robert Gamzon (French-speaking) B'nai B'rith lodge for a briefing on my participation in next week's panel discussion-- and didn't have time to set up my next appointment... with bountiful Zionists Harvey Karp and Blossom Seigel from Newport Beach CA ...who suddenly appeared as if convoked.
They had lunch and I caught up with them later at their table overlooking the Olympic pool against a backdrop of the walls and turrets of the Old City. Smooooooth! In addition to producing videos that portray Israel in its myriad brilliant facets, Harvey and Blossom give material and moral support to allied endeavors. At the confab--with Joel and Pamela Bell of the World Evangelical Zionists in partnership with Likudniks Ari Azuelos and Sagiv Azoulay, I received more material and leads than I could ever process.
The consensus is--Netanyahu is winnable. It's a question of time and strategy. The Evangelical Likudniks will mobilize, electioneer, convince, communicate their enthusiasm and love of Judaism in Zion. You've heard how the Evangelicals want to convert the Jews and precipitate the end of days; Bell is talking about Christians repairing their relation to Judaism through the experience of Israel.
Joel was filming WorldNet Daily's Aaron Klein's interview with the Mufti of Jerusalem who'd issued a fatwa forbidding Palestinians to flee from Gaza. "Jews are a problem," said the Mufti, surprising no one, "but the Christian Zionists are worse!" Our Christian ally almost melted into his camera. There was no security, Klein works without a safety net.
Bell's Evangelicals want to stand by side with the Jews in the disputed territories. "If they try to expel the Jews they'll have to expel the Christians too. And that's another story." Yeah.
Azoulay was fielding text messages from inside sources at the Knesset, hoping the Likud candidate would trump Peres for president. Networking, news, and dot orgs flashed across the table like a fast card game. Newt Gingrich and Bibi will be speaking at the Christians United for Israel summit meeting in Washington. Chris Mitchell of Christian Broadcasting Network has a studio right here in David's Village for videocasting.
Time to break, and spruce up for a very special occasion.
My luck...the event was held in the Beit Shmuel complex where I take lodgings. Mercaz Shimson Beit Shmuel, a jewel of an address, stands between two expensive landmark hotels, the King David and the David Citadel. Beit Shmuel hostel rooms with private bath & separate WC accommodate up to six people ($60 night for one person, $75 for two, etc.) offer bare bones comfort, a healthy Israeli breakfast, and free wireless access. The best rooms have balconies facing the old city, but you have to catch the wireless network on the landing work station. Rooms on the other side of the hallway, without balconies, look out on the lush garden courtyard and connect to the Net.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Lilach, my favorite receptionist, gives me VIP treatment since she Googled me and read my articles. The armed female guards at the entrance look like pinups. You can enjoy snacks ($3 for a giant salad-sandwich) from the café in the tree shaded courtyard. There's a joyful coming and going of people involved in countless activities (Beit Shmuel is part of a large complex established by Hebrew Union College and the Reform movement) from dance classes to advanced Jewish studies.
On my last night in Jerusalem before relocating to Tel Aviv I upgraded from the hostel to the "Residence." Believe me, it's worth the extra dollars ($100/night) for a beautiful sleek room with maximum comfort in a quiet corner of the building. Certainly the best hotel bargain and the most fun place to stay in Jerusalem. And that's not all. You can rent a gorgeous 2-room Beit Shmuel apartment on Rehov Dovid Melech (King David Street) for $800 a week! Sleeps four and includes access to a heated swimming pool.
The glass-domed wedding hall and wide terraces at the top of the complex offer dramatic vantage points on the courtyard's opulent purple jacaranda, the Old City, the French institute with its satellite dish antenna, tricolor flag, and mandate era façade. Wherever you stand, wherever you look, you are carried away with the majesty of it all. And what a bunch of sweet firebrands were gathered there to celebrate the marriage of our adored and adorable colleague, Caroline Glick, whose Column One appeared faithfully the day before and two days after the wedding. Tsafrir Ronen said that one missile aimed at the terrace where we were feasting on hors d'oeuvres would wipe out the entire Israeli... Israeli what exactly?
Joel [Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs] and Rivka [specialist in ancient history] Fishman, the aforementioned Harvey Karp and Blossom Siegel, Ruthie Blum, Steve Liebowitz and a host of Jerusalem Posties, Amnon [Makor Rishon] and Gaël [novelist] Lord, Professor Ben-Zion Netanyahu and his son Bibi with wife Sarah, Dore Gold, Uzi Landau, Yoram and Orna Ettinger, Natan Sharansky, Raphael and Margalit Israeli, Richard [American Thinker] and Lijana Baer, Max and Suzanne Singer (we met at Michael Ledeen's last fall), and other sterling figures that I missed, such as Khaled Abu Toameh. Caroline's wonderful family, the groom's debonair father, jovial brother, friends, families, children in strollers, teenagers, an Orthodox cohort that dined separately on the terrace, an Israeli abundance of food and fresh air as we followed the ceremony by stages.
Caroline wore a princess line lace dress, her hair in a chignon. The groom, Ephraim Katzir, his curly red hair in a pony tail, his impish eyes a perfect match for the bride. The men sang to the groom, the women sang to the bride. They went off to a far corner to sign the ketuba (wedding contract). We followed them to the main terrace for the ceremony under the chupa (wedding canopy). In France and the U.S., four witnesses solemnly hold the stakes of an elaborate chupa. Here it was left to its own devices, a simple affair that looked like a tablecloth billowing in the Jerusalem breeze. The ceremony was intimate, brief, and touching. The libation, the seven baruchot (blessings) the ring placed on the right index finger, the smashed glass, the nuptial kiss as night fell and the flames of the barbecue echoed ancient temple rituals. As we took our places in the dining hall, the white chupa cinematographically billowed against the black night sky, harbinger of a long, happy marital cruise.
We served ourselves to steak and chicken directly from the expertly-manned barbecue stations and then piled on all manner of cooked and fresh vegetables, salads, breads. By a rough estimate there were 20 tables of 10 for a total of 200 guests--modest, I am told, by Israeli standards. We networked, feasted, shimmied, shmoozed. Peres was elected president of Israel? We'll droop over that tomorrow! The music was right, the mood was great, the energy level was super. This practiced eye watched the newlyweds dance in sensual complicity...Caroline fandangoed her lace bridal skirt, tapped her silver sandals, Ephraim engaged her every move, responded, invited... A good match. Mazal tov.

The low-scale material represents an exciting and emergent interdisciplinary area that has begun to revolutionize a broad range of fields in chemistry, physics, engineering, energy, materials and life sciences.
Advances in the development of Gold Nanowires on the nanoscale over the past decade have led to a significant increase in knowledge on the fabrication of powerful devices or functional systems, ranging from nanoscale transistors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), nano-lasers, nano-resonators, to ultrasensitive chemical/biological sensors and very promising energy devices.
A central challenge in the successful building of new and useful type of technology based on nanomaterials is to exploit the "micro-macro" duality of such structures, where the consequences of miniaturization can be extended to understand the macro world.
In this sense, two main paradigms in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology have to be set up. Firstly, multiple instruments and tools must be created in order to maintain the architecture and structure of the Gold Nanowires.
The second important paradigm is to determine the chemical and physical consequences of miniaturization. This is where real nanoscience meets nanotechnology. Essentially, the central starting point for these challenges is the synthesis of the nanostructured materials, the building blocks in this case.
The controllable and tunnel able chemical composition, structure, size, morphology, and consequently defined electronic, optical/magnetic properties are critical to comprehensively understand the fundamental properties of these nanoscale structures and to further explore their physical limits as functional devices.
Last but not least, there is the hierarchical assembly and orgaThe low-scale material represents an exciting and emergent interdisciplinary area that has begun to revolutionize a broad range of fields in chemistry, physics, engineering, energy, materials and life sciences.
Last but not least, there is the hierarchical assembly and organization of these building blocks into highly integrated systems with predictable and versatile functions. Ultrathin (diameter < 10 nm) metal nanowires are of great relevance in the fields of nano-sciences and nanotechnology. Ultrathin nanowires, compared to other low-dimensional systems, present a higher surface area and have two quantum-confined directions.
While leaving one unconfined direction for electrical conduction, nanowires carve their niche amongst others. This makes usage of electrical conduction concept to be implemented into the scenario rather than tunnelling transport.
In addition to the high surface area, the very high density of their electronic states and also the joint density of states near the energies of their Van Hove singularities, enhanced excitation binding energy and increased surface scattering for electrons and photons are some ways in which nanowires differ from their corresponding bulk materials.
The recent developments in the respective fields have motivated and challenged the fabrication and the shrinkage of materials that can be rationally organized in functional networks. In this sense, nanowires are considered essential components that can be used to build nano-electronic devices for applications in sensors, photonics, and waveguides.
These nanowires are extremely attractive for such applications that have low electrical resistance and can transport light over their axial direction. The synthesis of Au nanowires has been widely reported on literature and it is the main focus of this section that intends to present and compare those approaches with the one claimed by Lu and co-workers to produce Gold Nanowires through Aurophilic interactions.
By coupling metal nanowire devices with biological cells based on the idea that the surface charge due to ions adsorption on the surface of nanowires can cause change in the electrical resistance of the nanowires, it will describe how the electrical activity of neuronal cells could be monitored using ultrathin metal nanowires.
Advances have been made recently in the chemical synthesis of ultrathin Au nanowires with diameters of ~ 2 nm. These one-dimensional nanostructures constitute sensors, photonics, and waveguides.
Although efforts have been made towards understanding their synthesis and their electrical characteristics, several questions remain open concerning the production of Gold Nanowires as well as their intrinsic electric properties.
The work for this thesis focused on improving the understanding of the chemical processes related to the formation of ultrathin Gold Nanowires and their electrical characteristics in air and in aqueous solutions.
Owing to their possible technological applications as sensors for chemical and biological species, this last aspect was important because it contributes to the knowledge of how the electrical resistance of wires can be influenced by the adsorption of ionic and molecular species on their surfaces.nization of these building blocks into highly integrated systems with predictable and versatile functions.

Today was one of those kind of "milestone" days for me. You may recall that a short while ago I wrote about realising that I had been to the gym over 300 times I was in exactly the same place I was when I started! Clearly there had been a peak in the middle somewhere of fitness but it all boiled down to one thing – do the same things, you get the same results. Of course, even during my gym visits, it was still ok to eat chocolate & fatty dairy products.
After realising the above, I took massive action. Now I won't go into the details of my gym & eating regime here but the upshot of it is, that I changed my approach to generate a different result. Today was that milestone where I reached the 400th visit to the gym & I am lighter & fitter than I was during the previous 330ish visits. Even better than that is that I am at my lightest weight for over 10years but I also realise that health & fitness is a journey not a destination. I've had to change my entire view & outlook towards my training.
By now you should be seeing the obvious parallels to trading.
If you do the same things you will generate the same results.
Good if you are picking up your daily target each day, however not so good if you are not. More importantly, have you decided to review & change approach?
It is without doubt that your road to success within trading is going to be littered with obstacles, hard times & challenges after all, if it was easy then we know everyone would be doing it, but it isn't.
There will be times when you want to quit, throw in the towel, bin it for some other making money venture but this is exactly the point that trading sorts out the groups into who will achieve in trading.
Many times when people reach this point, they will forget to ask themselves if they know what price they are willing to pay in order to achieve success. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not referring to paying a price in terms of purchased materials but merely the price in terms of your own sacrifice.
What is it you are willing to place on hold in your life, watching less telly, staying up a little later or getting up a little earlier? Do you even know?
Now is a good time to ask yourself the question.
What price are you willing to pay in order to achieve success in trading?
Pretty much everyone I speak to wants it bad, but how many are willing to put the effort in?
Look at a sportsperson training for next years Olympics. Do you think they roll out of bed at 10am, quick macdonalds breakfast before deciding to train only to put in a half hearted effort & then head home to play on the xbox.
Or are they up at a very early hour, putting in more training before 7am than most people will do in a week, focussing on what goes into their body & more specifically their mind.
The difference between them & us traders (apart from the six pack!) is that only one of them gets the gold medal. We, can dish out gold medals to whoever trading chooses.
Dr Alexander Elder quotes in his book that one of the world's leading hedge fund managers spent the first three years of his trading career in a loss making position. That means not coming out of the red for over 3years. Most home traders give up after 3months. That man knew he wanted a gold medal.
You may find however, that some sacrifices in your quest for trading success are unrealistic or are things you may not want to sacrifice. This is your choice & your decision alone.
But whatever you decide is worth sacrificing or not, I can tell you that there is something for everyone in trading, from the skilled speed down on the 2-5min timeframes, the more reliable solid hourly timeframe for those that are time challenged during the day all the way up to swing trading, looking at those end of day charts.
The longer you persevere, the more chance you have of succeeding in trading.
Until next week, have an amazing weekend & I'll see you at the top!

Home Contributing Are all Browning shotguns made in Japan?
on 09/10/2020 09/10/2020 Contributing
Are all Browning shotguns made in Japan?
Most Browning guns were made in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale (FN) until the mid 1970s when some production was shifted to Miroku in Japan. Today's Browning firearms are made in either Belgium, Portugal, Japan or in the United States.
Where are Browning shotguns manufactured?
At times people act surprised when they learn that Browning is now making the Citori, the BLR or the X-Bolt in the Miroku factory in Japan. But the fact is they have always been made there. Even today, production of the Browning line is split largely between Miroku in Japan and Belgium/Portugal in Europe.
Which shotguns are made in America?
The 20 Best American Shotguns Ever Made
Remington Model 11. The Model 11 was a licensed version of the Browning Auto 5.
Winchester Model 12. A pair of fine Model 12s, both made in the 60s.
Winchester Model 42. A pre-war Model 42 in .410.
Remington 870.
Remington 1100.
Kolar Max.
Ljutic Space Gun.
Ithaca Model 37.
Are Mossberg shotguns made in the USA?
Mossberg offers bolt-action, lever-action and auto-loading rifles as well as pump-action, auto-loading, and over/under shotguns. Manufacturing is done both in Turkey and in the US from parts made in both America and Mexico.
Are Benelli shotguns made in the USA?
Benelli Armi SpA is an Italian firearm manufacturer best known for shotguns used by military, law enforcement and civilians, located in Urbino, Marche. Benelli and Benelli USA have been owned by Pietro Beretta SpA since 2000.
When did the Browning BT 99 shotgun come out?
There is not a finer example of simplicity, quality and clay-busting performance than the classic BT-99. When it was introduced in 1969, it immediately gained a loyal following among both beginner and veteran shooters alike. They appreciated the consistent, reliable performance and great value the BT-99 offered. Today is no different.
Where are the Browning single shot rifles made?
Today's Browning firearms are made in either Belgium, Portugal, Japan or in the United States. The original Browning & Brothers store in Ogden, Utah. Photo was taken after production of the "Single Shot" had started. Shown is an original Browning Single Shot rifle.
When did the Browning single barrel trap gun come out?
The Miroku-Browning Era. By 1968 the single barrel trap gun to be known as the BT-99 began and shipments started to Browning. For the first time, in 1970, representatives of FN visited Miroku to get a closer look at the potential of this new partner. By all accounts, they were impressed.
How to find the serial number of a Browning shotgun?
To find your serial number, you will need to refer to your owner's manual. We have most owner's manuals online. The serial number began with 1000 for each year. Example: 0001D69 = A 1969 BT-99 shotgun with a serial number of 0001. In 1976 Browning re-standardized its serial number identification. The BT-99 was discontinued in 1995. 1.

Ever since Marco Gössi took over the family coach business from his father, it has not stopped growing – and neither has BDO's remit.
– I have to develop that basis myself." He has had plenty of opportunities to achieve this in recent years. During this period, Gössi Carreisen AG has achieved remarkable growth – not least through acquisitions. Peter Baumgartner was involved in all the investment decisions, and he provided the right recommendations on whether or not to go ahead with acquisitions.
At the same time, the company had to confront increasingly complex issues – the German passenger transport tax is just one example. In situations like these, Peter Baumgartner draws on the specific know-how of specialists in BDO's regional centres or in its international network. "For every specific issue that arises, I provide Marco Gössi with access to the right BDO experts. At times, I call on large numbers of BDO specialists to advise Gössi Carreisen AG, especially on tax matters. The essential point here is that I never lose sight of the overall picture, and I always act as my client's 'extended arm'", Peter Baumgartner adds.

Q: Adding Seamonkey/Firefox extensions to custom LiveCD Is there a way to add Seamonkey extensions to a custom Ubuntu LiveCD?
I'm working with UCK, and I would like to add a language pack extension (.xpi) to Seamonkey so that the language would be available as the default language of the application in the customized CD.

A: Two options for creating custom ISO for ubuntu:

*

*Remastersys: A tool that can be used to do 2 things with an existing Debian,  Ubuntu or derivative installation.  It can make a full system backup including personal data to a live cd or dvd that you can use anywhere and install.  It can make a distributable copy you can share with friends.  This will not have any of your personal user data in it.  How to use this tool w/ Ubuntu: http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html.

*APTonCD: A tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create an ISO with all of the packages you've downloaded via APT-GET or APTITUDE, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers.  APTonCD will also allow you to automatically create media with all of your .deb packages located in one specific repository, so that you can install them into your computers without the need for an internet connection.

A: You can also chroot in the environment that will be put on the live db and install the extensions, as explained here:

Monnikhuizen is een voormalig kartuizerklooster in Arnhem. Monnikhuizen was het oudste klooster van Arnhem en dateert uit 1342. In 1635 werd het samengevoegd met Monnikhuizerbeek waardoor het landgoed Claerenbeek ontstond. Thans resteert nog het huidige park Klarenbeek.

Geschiedenis
In de veertiende eeuw groeide de behoefte aan soberheid en zuiverheid in de religieuze praktijk. Daardoor nam de populariteit van de strenge kartuizerorde toe. Het eerste kartuizerklooster in Gelre was Monnikhuizen, in 1342 gesticht door Reinoud II van Gelre.

Het klooster speelde een rol in de ontginningen ten noordoosten van Apeldoorn. Mogelijk was Schoonbroek een uithof of spieker dat vanuit het klooster was gesticht.

In 1635 kwam klooster Monnikhuizen in bezit van Willem Huygens, burgemeester van Arnhem, die sinds 1615 al in het bezit was van het landgoed Monnikhuizerbeek. Hij bracht ze samen tot onder de naam Claerenbeek.

The Application of Ridgelines in Extended Radio Source Cross-Identification

Extended radio sources are an important minority population in modern deep radio surveys, because they enable detailed investigation of the physics governing radio-emitting regions such as active galaxies and their environments. Cross-identification of radio sources with optical host galaxies is challenging for this extended population, due to their morphological complexity and multiple potential counterparts. In the first data release of the Low-frequency array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS DR1) the automated likelihood ratio for compact sources was supplemented by a citizen science visual identification process for extended sources. In this paper we present a novel method for automating the host identification of extended sources by using ridgelines, which trace the assumed direction of fluid-flow through the points of highest flux density. Applying a new code, RL-Xid, to LoTSS DR1, we demonstrate that ridgelines are versatile; by providing information about spatial structure and brightness distributions, they can be used both for optical host identification and morphological studies in radio surveys. RL-Xid draws ridgelines for 85 per cent of sources brighter than 10 mJy and larger than 15 arcsec, with an improved performance of 96 per cent for the subset >30 mJy and >60 arcsec. Using a sample of sources with known hosts from LoTSS DR1, we demonstrate that RL-Xid successfully identifies the host for 98 per cent of the sources with successfully drawn ridgelines, and performs at a comparable level to visual identification via citizen science. We also demonstrate that ridgeline brightness profiles provide a promising automated technique for morphological classification.

Kiznaiver Episode 9: Everything is Destroyed
It has begun. The plot is advancing, the happy days are over, and everything is rapidly progressing downward. I'd almost go so far as to say that this episode hit the rock bottom of tragedy, but I won't because that's just begging for everything to get worse.
It's been harder to think of witty captions lately. It's hard to be funny when everything is sad.
Oh, he was just jumping off of things, like he always does.
It's like they forgot he's a danger to them.
So obsession=love?
After Sonozaki reveals her Kiznaiver scar, she collapses. The other Kiznaivers are reunited with a heartbroken Chidori. They run from the gomorins into a media room, and a projector starts streaming a video of Sonozaki and Katsuhira in the gym, discussing their feelings for each other.
I'm not entirely sure what Sonozaki is trying to accomplish here, and I suspect it has nothing to do with the current experiment and everything to do with her past with Katsuhira, which does strike me as a little selfish, or at least insensitive. I'm actually even more confused at to what the Kizuna Committee's motivation in streaming their conversation was. They wanted to attempt the transfer of positive emotions, so why are they making everyone miserable? Unfortunately, I feel like the writers are not actually taking anyone's motivations into account, instead just letting anything happen that might stir up more drama.
It's not like this has been hinted at since the beginning or anything.
Her callousness for Tenga's sake feels a bit out of character, but at this point I can't be nitpicky.
Tenga runs off to confront them, but Chidori stays, and Nico scolds her for fearing rejection. While I appreciate that Tenga cares about Chidori and was upset that she was hurt, I'm a little impatient with him. Katsuhira can't help it if he doesn't love Chidori, and rather than getting angry maybe Tenga should think about being honest about his own feelings. I do feel bad for Chidori, but I her relationship with Katsuhira has dragged on since episode 1 without being resolved, and I'm rather tired of it.
I liked how Nico reacted in this scene. Even if she's been hiding her feelings, at least she's brave enough to face the consequences.
You think??
If you still didn't know.
Urushibara tells Yamada not to gloat about messing with people's emotions. Not only is this very hypocritical, as Yamada points out, but it's out of character and a bit of a confusing stance. Until now, Urushibara has not once shown concern for any student's feelings besides Sonozaki, nor any objection to their activities until now. Juxtaposing this conversation is that of Sonozaki and Katsuhira discussing their past as child experiments, and we're given a picture of the self-righteousness and hope that filled the early committee members, their determination so strong they even risked the safety and emotional well-being of their own children.
No risk of damage whatsoever.
Yeah, I'm sure they're not traumatized from this at all.
I think this is an interesting touch, and says something about humanity's brokenness, as well as the pain that comes about when people play God. By trying to bring world peace through extremely morally questionable methods, the Kizuna Committe has essentially built their own tower of Babel, and have, in their own minds, elevated themselves above the rest of humanity. While the seven Kiznaivers were all labeled as representing the seven deadly sins, who is guiltier of pride than those who think they have the right to condemn seven teenagers to suffering for the good of all? The earlier experiment already left Katsuhira permanently damaged, and yet they still haven't stopped their manipulations, all because their initial intentions seemed pure. It's an example of how humans cannot be God, because God is good, and we, even in our best efforts, are not.
They're called feelings.
But will the nature of your connection be explored?
When is she not?
That was uncalled for.
Katsuhira remembers everything, and hugs Sonozaki, crying for the first time in the anime. He still has a Kizna mark on his chest. The other Kiznaivers arrive and when Chidori runs away, Tenga demands that Katsuhira goes after her while Tenga drills Sonozaki about her motives. Sonozaki reveals Nico's crush, which is a rotten turn of events. Yuta tells Tenga to pursue her when she runs away, but sadly, he doesn't.
I want to feel sorry for Sonozaki. It appears that she suffered such severe damage in her childhood that she can no longer tell right from wrong. But it's so hard to figure out why she does things, and she is constantly hurting people. I do feel sorry for Katsuhira, though. He's being put at fault for not reacting properly to emotions he clearly doesn't understand emotions. Despite this, his motives are always to help others, even if he fails. Not to mention that he is dealing with the shock of painful memories returning.
Mind reading. For real this time.
This little switch is funny, but natural. She wanted him to hug her out of love, not because she told him to.
Katsuhira reaches Chidori, and a crucial scene takes place in which Chidori's emotions reach so deeply Katsuhira and the rest of the Kiznaivers reads her thoughts. I wasn't sure how to react: on one hand, it was foreshadowed, so I wasn't too surprised, on the other hand the foreshadowing was so clumsy that I almost thought it was a red herring
Lies. You are amazing.
That's not the way feelings work.
Nico cries alone in a storage room, chiding herself for running away. Yamada gloats at their success, and Urushibara goes to stop them. Tenga, filled with rage, also reaches the scene and starts beating up Katsuhira. They can read his thoughts, revealing that he likes Chidori.
Tenga's actions really saddened me. He was one of my favorites, subtly shown to have a big heart, and now here is, beating up someone he formerly defended. He selfishly ignored Nico's feelings, which is strange. I could shrug this off as bad writing, and it might be, but I will instead conclude that the situation was too much for him. It's a pity, because he's better than this.
No! Don't say that!
The Kiznaivers fall to pieces as all their hidden affections are brought to light. Honoka, the one who made the declaration that cemented their friendship, now claims they can't be friends, because being so close just makes it more painful. They all collapse under the weight of their shared agonies. It's a heart wrenching scene that's well delivered, although I felt like such strong emotions came to quickly. They've only known each other for a few weeks, but their teenage crushes are treated like soul tearing romances, making these events a little hard to swallow, but at this point I've just accepted that it's all being done for drama. Still, as I was actually invested in their friendships, the scene still holds emotion.
I'm pleased that the anime is examining the nature of friendships, and again voices idea that the closer you are to someone, the more potential the relationship has to hurt you. I think this risk is part of what makes human relationships so beautiful. Friendships have a lot of potential to be painful and destructive, but if they endure, such trials can make them stronger and richer.
Well, that got dark fast.
Oh really?
Urushibara and Sonozaki come to remind the Kiznaivers that after the summer is over, their bond will be severed. It feels like a weak solution. Will getting rid of the bond repair the damage it caused? But as the storm ceases and the sun returns, the atmosphere becomes almost hopeful, which I hope is foreshadowing for the restoration and healing of the Kiznaivers' relationships.
I'm glad that the romance actually serves a purpose as the thing that ultimately destroys the Kiznaivers' bond. This could be interpreted as commentary on how an overly strong romantic focus can ruin stories. However, I couldn't help but find the drama slightly dull. Although the feelings were foreshadowed, the heartbreak is so sudden with little lead up, it's hard not to be exasperated with the rushed overwhelming feelings.
This was a pivotal episode, especially for the character development of Katsuhira. Finally, he is on the same page as the audience in regards to his past, and he openly show emotion for the first time. As everyone lies suffering, he is moved with compassion, highlighting his concern for others, a kind of connection he supposedly wasn't interested in. It's a little irritating that we haven't seen as much development in Sonozaki.
Surprisingly, I am pleased with the outcome of utter destruction in this episode. It could have been better, but it did get some things right as far as emotion was concerned. While I unfortunately still have some doubts about this story providing a satisfying conclusion, the conflict is meaningful, and will hopefully pave the way for a resolution.

Very interesting commentary! It's so ironic how the experiment is supposed to bring peace but ultimately brings disaster. It's like they have to get to the point of disaster (and thus the mind reading) to bring about the peace, but that begs the question, is it even worth it?
And yes, I agree. The experiment is quite a mess, which makes me very curious about whether, at the conclusion of the anime, anything good will come from it at all.

My work colleague drives a 2002 Jetta 4 1.6 who is experiencing an issue regarding his acceleration. He says that when the vehicle is at a stop, it holds back before accelerating. To me sounds like a coil related problem.
He also mentioned that the vehicle has a strong smell of fuel, even when he's standing outside the car. He says the car was serviced in December and all his fuel pipes were replaced.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the reply Stu. What couldbe the cause of overfueling?
Have it scanned for fault codes and work from there.
Instead of assuming things, fault codes can help a hell of a lot in narrowing down an issue.
Ill relay the message. Thanks guys.

Four new radio stations in northern Minnesota forcus on American Indians
November 8, 2011 - MPR's Dan Gunderson reports on creation of four Native American radio stations in Callaway, Nett Lake, Cloquet and Cass Lake. Gunderson interviews tribe members behind the efforts to provide service to American Indian audiences in the northern Minnesota area.
A return to traditional foods helps some fight hunger on White Earth Reservation
October 4, 2011 - MPR's Julie Siple reports on the fight against hunger on the White Earth Reservation. Tribal officials estimate up to 50 percent of American Indians on the reservation live below the poverty line. For some, ensuring there is enough healthy food to feed themselves and their families is a problem. There is a growing effort to return to traditional foods to help alleviate hunger and improve the health of people on the reservation while reconnecting them with a diet that served their ancestors.
Some White Earth band members want to ban genetically-modified wild rice
March 8, 2005 - White Earth has become the first reservation in the country to ban the introduction or growth of genetically modified wild rice seeds. Now, some White Earth Band members want to take it one step further. They want the Legislature to ban genetically modified wild rice statewide. Wild rice experts with the University of Minnesota, however, say the tribe's worries are unwarranted. The lakes and rivers on the White Earth Indian Reservation in northwest Minnesota are an ideal habitat for wild rice, and an important cultural food to the Ojibwe people.
Pilot project on White Earth Reservation to help people with diabetes
December 26, 2001 - Mainstreet Radio's Dan Gunderson reports on a pilot project on White Earth Reservation that is trying to reduce the effects of diabetes by bringing back a diet of traditional food.

While granting the permission, the King is believed to have indicated to Koirala that he was leaving the country as a free man, and suggested that he might even decide not to come back at all. But if he did, the charges against him still stood and the 'suspended' trial would be resumed. Thus the 'release' also means that Koirala should not think of resuming his political activities in Kathmandu. The King's action also avoids the risk of serious political consequences that might have resulted from any further deterioration in Koirala's health while under detention.
