Natchez 10
Natchez makes Lonely Planet's "Best in the US" list all year long
by James Fox-Smith
Last month, when travel-guide publisher Lonely Planet released its list of the top ten "most unexpectedly exciting places to visit in the United States in 2016," Natchez, Mississippi came in at position #2—right behind Philadelphia. Fair enough when you consider that Natchez is celebrating its three-hundredth anniversary this year. But with 320 events on Natchez's tricentennial calendar, narrowing down when to go can be a challenge. So we called up Jennifer Ogden Combs, executive director of the Natchez Tricentennial Commission, and asked her to share her top five reasons to visit the Bluff City in the springtime.
1: "Spring wildflowers in bloom! When I was living in Los Angeles and would fly home to visit Natchez, I always drove home from the airport with the windows down so I could smell the flowers—crimson clover, phlox, honeysuckle. In April and May there's nothing like it!"
2: "The Natchez Festival of Music. This year's theme, Four Flags Over Natchez, features music from the four nations that have flown flags over the city—French, Spanish, British, and American. Tickets are going like crazy for the Inspirations of Glenn Ballard concert on May 7, featuring six-time Grammy Award-winner and Natchez native Glenn Ballard."
3: In spring, we have particularly gorgeous sunsets over the Mississippi River. I tell folks to come on Thursday evenings, when the American Queen steamboat is docked. Come up to the bluffs in late afternoon and listen to the calliope as the sun goes down."
4: "The Southern Road to Freedom [a tribute to the African American experience in Natchez presented by the Holy Family Church Gospel Choir in first-person narrative and song] because it really tells a different story against the pilgrimage backdrop." Presented three times weekly during Natchez Spring Pilgrimage.
5: "Belles on Bikes: our annual, ladies-only bicycle ride offering various routes around Natchez. April 23."
6: "One of our coolest, little-known events is the Great Big Yam Potatoes Old Time Music Gathering at Historic Jefferson College on May 14. It's a totally free festival and contest dedicated to old-time fiddle music, put on by the Mississippi Fiddlers Association. One of those absolute gems that, when you discover it, you'll never forget."
7: "This is the time of year when all the spring produce starts to roll into the downtown farmers markets. In April and May, you can expect okra, corn, tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, eggplants, and six or seven varieties of squash." 199 St. Catherine. (601) 442-4648.
8: "On April 9, we're hosting our first Euro Fest Classic European auto show. We're expecting all kinds of rare and significant European cars and motorcycles twenty-five years and older from around the southeast."
9: "We're having a Tea and Tombstones cemetery tour led by an anthropologist/archaeologist with a genius for local history and access to private cemeteries. He'll lead tours visiting up to four private cemeteries, with tea and refreshments along the way. May 22 is the first date."
10: Crustacean Celebration: "We host all kinds of outdoor food events in spring. There's the Boiling Under the Bluff crawfish boil at Magnolia Bluffs Casino on April 2, the 20th annual Natchez Jr. Auxiliary Shrimp Boil on the Bluff on April 22, and the Claws for a Cause lobster dinner block party on May 15."
Nothing lonely about the Natchez events calendar in April and May, in other words. More information at natchezms300.com.

The Kidney in TCM is like the savings account of your body's energy. It's important to find ways to conserve and restore your energy. Simplifying life by focusing on the essentials and letting go of non-essential tasks and concerns will help you conserve energy. Making a bit of time each day for meditation can increase calm and focus. Connecting with your Source can help bring in energy from a higher plane which can be very restorative. Kidneys govern the feet and ears so massaging the ears and feet will be helpful. It's also important to get enough rest or "down time" as well as sleep. When a person experiences too much stress and overwork without rest it begins to weaken the adrenal glands causing caffeine cravings.
It's important to not over-do aerobic exercise with this condition. Hatha yoga (not fast or power yoga), Tai Chi, Qi Gong or weight lifting in moderation are exercise choices. "Seated forward bend" is a yoga posture that strengthens the kidneys. Yin yoga classes involve many postures which open the Kidney channel and restore to the Kidney Yin. "Yi Jin Jing" (please see the video I posted on this "Yi Jin Jing and What is Bone Marrow Washing?") is a qi gong set which builds Kidney strength.
Kidney Yin tonics include: pomegranate, potato, pears, aduki beans, wheat grass juice, barley grass juice, parsley, black sesame seeds, nettle tea, vitamin B12, spirulina, chlorella, almonds, rhemmania tea, berries, seaweed. Many green drink powders available in drug stores contain several of the above ingredients. Yin by nature is fluid so it's important to drink enough water, juices, soup/rice congee meals to build the Yin up.
Kidney Yin deficiency is a condition which takes some time to heal. Steady effort using the above tips will pay off.

Title: A Popular Vision: The Arts and the Left in New Zealand 1930-1950
Author: Rachel Barrowman

A Popular Vision: The Arts and the Left in New Zealand 1930-1950
The Origins of the Co-Op Bookshops
In parallel developments in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch (Dunedin lagged some years behind) the co-op book societies evolved in the late 1930s out page 90 of existing left-wing bookshops which had close practical and ideological ties with either the Communist Party or the Friends of the Soviet Union. These earlier shops sold mostly pamphlets and periodicals and a narrow range of books of a socialist and working class nature. In a development which followed direcdy from the Communist Party's adoption of a united front policy, they were superseded by broader-based progressive bookshops. These were run by democratically-elected committees representing a range of liberal and left opinion, and stocked a wider range of literature than their rather doctrinaire predecessors, from Marxist texts to general political, economic and social criticism, scientific and philosophical works, children's books and contemporary fiction, poetry and drama.
Auckland's Progressive Bookshop held both the honour of being the first of the cooperative bookshops to be established and the reputation for being the most radical. Opened in 1936 by Jack and Doris Basham, it was known affectionately by those who worked there as 'Basham's Bomb Shop'. (The name is attributed to Robin Hyde, and probably refers to the celebrated 'Bomb Shop' in London's Charing Cross Road which was the first of the Collett's chain of left-wing bookshops.3 ) Jack Basham, a former member of the British Navy, and at this time a watersider, trade unionist, active member of the Left Book Club and Auckland district secretary of the Friends of the Soviet Union, had a long career as a political activist in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, including a conviction for selling a copy of the Labour Monthly to an Auckland undercover policeman.4 He began his career as a bookseller in the early 1930s selling FSU leaflets from a suitcase on the Auckland waterfront. Within a few years demand for literature about the Soviet Union had outgrown the capacity of his suitcase and premises were leased for a shop in Pitt Street, off Karangahape Road. The Auckland carpenters' union provided the necessary labour and the Progressive Bookshop was opened in May 1936, complete with £60 worth of books and pamphlets on credit, and shelving made from packing cases.
The shop was able to stock a wider range of literature than just FSU leaflets and the Workers' Weekly. Its letterhead read: Tor all radical literature, anti-fascist, socialist & rationalist publications, realist novels, agents for USSR in Construction, Sovietland, Moscow News, Economic Summary of the USSR.'5 To Robin Hyde, writing in the weekly New Zealand Observer, 'The catalogue looked to me, at first glance, like one rush to Russia, but these tomes are followed up by books on Marxism, Fascism, Rationalism, War, Revolutionary Novels, and the publications of Bishop Brown', as well as an extensive list of left-wing periodicals.6 As Hyde also pointed out, the relaxation of censorship restrictions by the Labour government that year was an additional prerequisite for a viable and broadly-based left-wing bookshop.
The shop's monthly turnover increased from £30 to £100 in the first 10 page 91 months, vindicating the founding belief that 'there was a large potential demand for socialist literature which was not being adequately met by the commercial bookshops'.7 By 1937 Progressive Books claimed to have 'regular customers all over New Zealand, including public libraries as far afield as Dunedin and Whangarei.'8 That year a management committee was formed and the shop became a limited liability company. The Progressive Book Society was registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1908 as a cooperative trading organisation (as were all the cooperative book societies) with capital of £250 and shares at £1 each. This move was intended to place the shop on a more secure financial basis and broaden its appeal. In November it moved to larger premises in Darby Street, off lower Queen Street.
The prospectus issued by the society made a special appeal to trade unionists, who 'have unique opportunities for furthering the work of the Company, and they should also have a unique sympathy with its objective', and at the same time the observation that, among Progressive Books' current shortcomings, 'Its contacts with the professional classes are limited and it attracts few casual customers . . . nor has it been able to work the country districts at all systematically/9 Consistent with the broad social and political basis thus defined, the signatories to the prospectus and the members of the society's first committee constituted a roughly equal mix of academic, professional and labour interests. Three were staff members of Auckland University College: W. A. Sewell, Professor of English and WEA tutor; R.P. Anschutz, Professor of Philosophy; and Willis Airey, lecturer in History, who was also prominendy involved in the WEA and was chairman of the society in the mid 1940s. There were three trade union secretaries: F. Craig of the Auckland Timber Workers' Union, J.G. Kennedy of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners (Auckland branch) and Tom Stanley, secretary of the Auckland Builders' and General Labourers' Union and chairman of the CPNZ. The remaining signatories to the prospectus were WEA director N. M. Richmond; Frank Haigh, a lawyer (and friend of A.R.D. Fairburn) who represented the Communist Party and a number of trade unions; and R. V. Shaw, a medical practitioner. The society's first chairman (1937-9) was A.H. O'Keefe, a Victoria University College graduate who was then working for the Public Trust Office. Its first auditor was Samuel Leathern, an Economics and Commerce graduate and part-time lecturer at Auckland College who was also widely active on the left; he later served as chairman of Progressive Books for some years. The Bashams continued to run the shop, with Jack as manager and Doris 'in actual charge of the shop',10 until the end of 1941 when ill-health forced them to retire. The new manager was Arthur Jackson-Thomas, who was to remain with Progressive Books for over 20 years.
While Auckland was the first city to have a cooperative book society, it had been the last to have a radical bookshop in the 1930s. In Christchurch left-wing literature had been available in at least the early 1930s from the Communist Party's International Bookshop in Manchester Street. The International Bookshop sold 'a very narrow range of books, mostly Marxist pamphlets and the like', and by the mid 1930s was 'slowly dying'.11 Early in 1937 the Communist Party Local Party Committee (LPC), aware of the shop's 'serious position', with outdated and depleted stocks, inadequate management and a deficit of £30, took steps to resuscitate it by appointing a Party committee to take over interim control. It was decided that the shop should become relatively autonomous from the Party and its name be changed to the Progressive Bookshop. Advertising would be extended, business methods improved and regular hours kept. 'Slovenly, undisciplined habits are not working class', a report to the LPC sternly advised; the shop was no longer to be regarded as a Party drop-in centre but as a business.12 A suggestion that its library stock only material about the Soviet Union was rejected as too sectarian (although it continued to house the library of the local branch of the FSU). It was still to be considered a Party bookshop however and would cater primarily to Party goals; that is, to a working class clientele. The report recommended that 80 per cent of the stock be priced at under 3/-, as 'now more than ever it is important to give cadres of the working class Marxist-Leninist education'.13
A further Party memorandum early in 1938 commented on the need for a Bookshop Committee to be established 'on a broad basis—intellectuals etc.', and for the shop to extend its stock so as to become 'not a narrow Party bookshop but [sell] all classes of progressive literature'.14 The initiative behind the establishment of the Christchurch Co-operative Book Society appears to have come, however, not from the Communist Party directly but from the Left Book Club. In Winston Rhodes' recollection, the initial move came from Harold Fenton, the Left Book Club agent in Christchurch. Fenton approached Rhodes and other Left Book Club members with the proposal in 1938, and the society was launched at a public meeting held in the Christchurch Trades Hall on 22 August. Forty people attended and 171 £1 shares were subscribed. By the first annual general meeting nine-weeks later the membership of the society numbered 128 and total capital subscribed amounted to £333. The entire stock of the International or Progressive Bookshop, as it was variously known, was taken over along with £25 in debt, and new premises in New Regent Street acquired. The shop was renamed the Co-op Bookshop.
Although not as representative in Popular Front terms as the Auckland society, the board of management of the Christchurch Co-operative Book Society comprised a similar range of backgrounds. About half the board were active members of the Left Book Club: Bruce Souter, Hubert Henderson, page 93 Evelyn Lawn and Winston Rhodes, who was chairman of the society from its formation until the 1950s, with the exception only of 1943-4. Another board member who shared with Lawn a background as a student radical at Canterbury College in the early 1930s was Travers Christie, who had since joined the Communist Party and was working as a clerk. He was to achieve national prominence of a sort when he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour in 1941 for publishing 'subversive' statements in the People's Voice, in a case which also involved the son of a Supreme Court judge and allegations of official bribery.15 The remaining members of the board were a lawyer, L. B. Freeman; J. S. Roscoe, a civil servant; the secretary of the Canterbury Freezing Workers' Union, H.G. Kilpatrick; and Harold Fenton who was appointed secretary-manager of the shop. The Communist Party had hoped to ensure two places on the board but had to be content with only one.16
The sale of left-wing literature in the capital in these years has a history going back to the early 1920s. Walter Nash opened the Clarte Book Room in 1921, firsdy in Dixon Street and later Willis Street. Clarte stocked a wide range of 'socialist and working class literature', from Studies in Capital and Investmentby G.D.H. Cole at 15/- and Darwin's The Origin of Species, to 3d pamphlets by Harry-Holland, the Labour Songbook and 'novels by Upton Sinclair and others', and was the New Zealand agency for over a dozen periodicals including the Times Literary Supplement, the New Statesman, Socialist Review, the American Exporter and House Beautiful—a more extensive selection than one would find in Christchurch's International Bookshop. But the market for such literature was evidently too small for the financial and personal resources of one person, however dedicated. Nash sold the shop to the Labour Party in 1924 and it was moved to the party office; the original name was retained until 1934 when it was changed to the more recognisable, and mundane, Labour Bookroom.17
The direct precursor of the Wellington Co-operative Book Society was another International Bookshop. This had its origins as an FSU bookshop which opened in 1932 in Vivian Street, also the home of Trades Hall, the Wellington Communist Party offices and the WEA. Its founder was Connie Rawcliffe (later Birchfield), a national executive member of the FSU and Communist Party member. In 1933 it was taken over by a former arts student, B.A. Fortune, and opened on a full-time basis with a wider range of material. Bart Fortune, then aged 19, had left Victoria College that year without a degree but with a set of radical beliefs fostered by the Free Discussions Club and a desire 'to get down to working class level'.18 The Free Discussions Club was the focus of the small but vocal radical left at Victoria in the early 30s. Fortune was its secretary and editor of the first two numbers of its journal Student In Fortune's recollection the International Bookshop in these years attracted only 10-15 page 94 customers a day, mostly impoverish[ed] . . . working people and students'.'19 This was, in his view, part of the reason why the shop was never prosecuted for selling 'seditious' literature. It was also part of the reason why, by late 1934, the shop was bankrupt. Unlike its Christchurch namesake the Wellington International Bookshop was not an official Party bookshop, according to Fortune; he himself did not join the Communist Party until 1935, and then not publicly. It was, however, 'entirely sympathetic', selling mostly FSU material and Marxist theoretical works from Lawrence and Wishart (London) and International Publishers (USA), and English language Soviet publications such as Moscow News and USSR in Construction imported directly from Kniga (Moscow). Its Communist Party association was strengthened when it was taken over at the end of 1934 by Party member Ella Stewart (later Ayo).
The initiative behind the formation of the Wellington Co-operative Book Society came partly from Fortune. This was not a Party directive but, as he explains, followed direcdy from the united front policy:
the origin of the WCBS arose from the aftermath of the 7th World Congress insofar as I was concerned. The objective was to draw Together people of liberal and leftist persuasion, irrespective of party affiliation, to create a body of opinion in opposition to the trend towards fascism and war. . . . people of all persuasions concerned about the rise of fascist dictatorship and the threat of war and the likely social and cultural consequences.
W. B. Sutch was 'principally instrumental in drawing in the intellectual liberal-left.'20
The credentials of those who appear as sponsors in the prospectus issued in 1938 (drafted by Fortune), and of those who comprised the society's provisional committee, convey a significantly different impression from its Auckland and Christchurch counterparts, prefiguring the stronger academic-professional base and lesser trade union involvement that marked the Wellington society. A provisional committee of the New Zealand Co-operative Book Society, as it was initially called, was appointed in November 1938 following a public meeting attended by 120 people and addressed by members of the Auckland and Christchurch societies. The committee consisted of: Fortune (who was now working for a radio manufacturing company); J. C. Beaglehole (who chaired the first two meetings of the society); the current International Bookshop manager, M. Moreton; Maud England, a craft shop manager; M. Munro, a teacher; P. Murdoch, a postal officer; Evan Parry, a lawyer; and D. von Sturmer representing the New Zealand Co-operative Alliance. Others who were involved in or publicly supported the formation of the society included: Labour MP Ormond Wilson; W. H. Gould, Professor of Education at Victoria College; educationalist A. E. Campbell, acting director of the WEA in Wellington; page 95 Canterbury College lecturer in Economics, George Lawn, who was appointed to the directorate of the Reserve Bank in 1938; E. S. Andrews, the director of the National Film Unit; A.H. Scotney, a Left Book Club member, student and founding editor of the Victoria student newspaper Salient; D. G. Edwards, also a member of the Left Book Club, Victoria graduate and later a teacher; prominent pacifist and WEA tutor A. C. Barrington; and lawyer A. Thorn. The first elected committee of the Wellington Co-operative Book Society was, however, more representative on the Auckland and Christchurch model. Its members were: Beaglehole (president); Fortune (secretary); Sutch; anthropologist J. D. Freeman; K. M. Baxter of the printers' union; long-time Communist Party member Elizabeth (better known as Gran) McGowan; and Arthur Jackson-Thomas, who worked in radio drama in Wellington from 1938 until 1942 when he was appointed manager of Progressive Books in Auckland. (Jackson-Thomas had earlier acted in the Christchurch Left Book Club drama productions in 1937, and in Auckland produced plays for the WEA Dramatic Club.)21 At least three members of the committee were Communist Party members. 'Modern Books' opened in the Dominion Farmers' Institute in Featherston Street in 1939. It moved shordy after to Woodward Street, off Lambton Quay, and in 1944 to Manners Street.
Although Dunedin was slow to establish a cooperative book society, that city's radicals and bibliophiles had not wanted for political literature in the 30s. A Progressive Bookshop selling 'Latest Literature on all Phases of the Class Struggle' was opened in Moray Place in 1935. It was staffed by a Communist Party member but it is not clear whether it was an official Party concern. In May 1937 the shop was closed and a Central Labour Bookshop, apparendy under the same management, opened in George Street (later moving to High Street). Along with 'Political, Industrial, Economic, Anti-War, Rationalist, [and] Social Credit' literature it advertised novels by Jack London, Upton Sinclair and John A. Lee, and '"Free Lance" and other popular periodicals'.22 Its presence was not appreciated by some sections of the community, however. Threats of physical violence were made against the shop's manager by militant members of the Dunedin RSA after the outbreak of the war, and it was closed down shortly after.23
The Dunedin Co-operative Book Society did not get underway until 1942, with financial support from the newly-formed Progressive Publishing Society and on the initiative of Left Book Club members. Plans were commenced in 1941, but it was not until November 1942 that 80 'progressives' attended a meeting addressed by publishing society representatives. 'Preliminary steps [were] taken to secure the support of the Trade Union and Labour Movements.'24 At this stage Dunedin shareholders were registered as members of the page 96 Christchurch society. The Dunedin society held its first annual meeting in 1943 although application for registration as a cooperative society was not made until August 1944 and legal difficulties then delayed its registration until July 1945. The Registrar of Industrial and Provident Societies sought legal opinion which held that the 300-word statement of the society's socialist principles and objective as the first object defined in its constitution precluded it being registered under the act, according to which the primary purpose of such a society must be to engage in trading activities. The constitution was consequendy altered with the offending statement abridged and moved to 'ancillary powers', and permission sought from the Minister of Finance, Walter Nash, before the society was finally registered.25
Dunedin's Modern Books opened in Moray Place in December 1943. The seven signatories to the application were: Otago University Librarian John Harris (president); G. W. Parkyn, university lecturer in Education; Dr Muriel Bell, nutritional research officer; Dr A.D.G. Blanc, a medical practitioner; Dorothy Neale White, Deputy Librarian at Dunedin Public Library; Labour MP Peter Neilson; and Mark Silverstone, former Labour City Councillor and a director of the Reserve Bank.26

2.0 Movie Review : Worth It Or Not? Read Out!
Light-Weight Ira Sone Gives Out Secret Of Her Weight Loss!
One of the most awaited movie of the year is here. The Multi and Mega starrer 2.0, starring Rajnikanth and Akshay Kumar is one in the waiting list for their fans for too long since the trailer was out. 2.0 is a sequel to Rajnikanth's super-hit feature, Robot. What can a viewer expect from director Shankar? 2.0 is what you get.
The film begins with an old man committing suicide from atop a mobile phone tower. We are then introduced to scientist, Dr Vasigaran (Rajinikanth) and his now assistant Nila (Amy Jackson), a humanoid robot. Soon, mobile phones start flying off the shelves and out of everyone's hands, and Vasigaran is called in to investigate this mysterious occurrence. And when a giant bird, made up of mobile phones, starts attacking the city, the scientist is forced to bring back Chitti (Rajinikanth), the now dismantled robot.
The plot of 2.0 feels familiar; in fact too familiar. There is no mystery in the supernatural occurrences that we see on screen, and for the entire first half, we are forced to wait for the mandatory flashback involving Pakshirajan (Akshay Kumar), the ornithologist who is the old man who we saw at the start of the film. Even the flashback doesn't hit us hard emotionally the way similar episodes in the director's Indian and Gentleman made us feel. There is a distinct sense of just going through the motions in the first half, which unfolds like a generic horror movie – except that here, the spirit gets a sci-fi explanation and is described as a person's aura, made up of micro-photons.
Yet, despite the entry of Chitti (Rajinikanth), the film seems to be missing a je ne sais quoi. We get an extravagant clash between Chitti and the giant bird, but that's all. Unlike its predecessor, the film doesn't find a way to inject humour and inventiveness into the proceedings. Barring a reference to the famous dialogue from Nayakan, the lines are hardly memorable, and the characters pretty functional. The sub-plot involving Dhirendra Bhora (Sudhanshu Pandey), the son of the first film's villain, Dr Bhora, is underdeveloped. That said, Shankar, who is known for his song picturisation, wisely refrains from introducing songs into this narrative.

Telecoms and cable group Altice NV , which is trying to cut debts of around 50 billion euros ($59 billion), said on Monday its board has approved plans to spin-off its U.S. unit from its European operation.
The move is intended to simplify a sprawling communications empire that executives said encompassed two distinct markets, the United States and Europe.
"Altice USA`s shares have suffered from guilt by association with the weaker results at the European parent," Craig Moffett, an analyst at MoffettNathanson, said in an email.
"The biggest overhang on Altice USA shares," he added, "has been the nagging concern that U.S. shareholders might somehow be called upon to backstop weakness in Europe. That risk will now be gone."
Netherlands-based Altice NV, which will be renamed Altice Europe, said it aims to complete the spinoff of its 67.2 percent interest in Altice USA by the end of the second quarter of 2018, following regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Altice has grown in the United States and Europe through debt-fueled acquisitions, raising its net debt to more than five times its annual core operating profit.
The two companies will be led by separate management teams with Drahi retaining control of both companies.
Dennis Okhuijsen will become CEO of Altice Europe and Dexter Goei will serve as CEO of Altice USA.
Franco-Israeli tycoon Drahi is the group`s controlling shareholder with a 31.1 percent stake, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Altice USA on Monday also approved in principle a cash dividend of $1.5 billion to all shareholders immediately prior to completion of the separation, funded by debt. It also approved a $2 billion repurchase program of U.S. shares, once the separation is complete.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are hot topics right now. The problem is, it is hard to accurately write about them mainly because of the volatile swings in value of cryptocurrencies. One may be a billionaire one day and not the next day…or even hour. Recently, the value of several virtual currencies plunged 20% in just one day, and bitcoin is down 50% from its highest value, so you can see how fluctuating this list can be. Instead, we'll write about a few major players in the cryptocurrency world and not speculate about their current net worth.
Amongst the people who at one point or another owned $1 billion or more in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is a man known as CZ, a 41-year-old Chinese-Canadian coder who just happens to run his own cryptocurrency exchange called Binance. His real name is Changpeng Zhao. He started out creating trading systems for Wall Street firms. Binance can process 1.4 million transactions a second. On a particularly busy day in January, Binance processed 3.5 billion new orders, trades, and cancellations. About 25% of cryptocurrency speculators use Binance to trade 120 different virtual currencies, which generated about $200 million per quarter in profits for Binance. In August, CZ also created his own cryptocurrency called BNB. Holders of BNB receive a 50% discount on trading fees and has a market cap of $1.3 billion. At one point, CZ's stake in Binance and his BNB coins were worth $2 billion.
Chris Larsen is another virtual currency aficionado. Larsen is a tech executive known for co-founding a number of fintech apps including E-Loan and Ripple. His net worth was getting close to $20 billion at one point. He owns 5.2 billion XRP, the coins from Ripple.
You may remember Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss as the twins from Harvard who famously accused Mark Zuckerberg of stealing their idea for Facebook. They settled that lawsuit for $65 million. The Winklevoss twins invested $11 million of their Facebook settlement money in bitcoin back in 2013. That was an even riskier move back then than it is today—after all, very little was known about the viability of cryptocurrency five years ago. When they made their Bitcoin investment, one bitcoin was worth $100. Their $11 million bought them 110,000 Bitcoins. Over the next few years, the value of Bitcoin grew. In late 2017, Bitcoin skyrocketed and a single Bitcoin peaked in worth at $19,000. That made the Winklevoss twins' Bitcoin investment worth $2.1 billion. That was short lived.
Brock Pierce is a former child actor who appeared in The Mighty Ducks, dresses like a flamboyant homeless person and is prone to delivering manifestos from the balcony of his Santa Monica penthouse (think Erlich Bachman from Silicon Valley). Pierce got into the virtual currency game early. He first was a Bitcoin fan and then he began financing a number of cryptocurrency companies. He has claimed he is giving $1 billion to charity, however, there is no documentation that he has enough money to do that. His virtual net worth was at one point was somewhere in the vicinity of $750 million to $1 billion.
And finally, another character in the cryptocurrency world is banking heir Matthew Mellon. He made a $2 million investment in XRP which turned into $1 billion at one point. He celebrated that big milestone in a big way, and the next day found four people in his $150,000 a month Los Angeles house going through his stuff. They stole four laptops and two cellphones. The thieves were likely after the private keys to his virtual XRP fortune. They weren't successful, as Mellon has scattered the keys to his virtual coins across the country at cold storage facilities and put those storage facilities in other people's names.
Cryptocurrency, as a whole, is not having the best year, but Coinbase's Brian Armstrong is having a great one. He has become the second person to achieve a billion-dollar net worth in the cryptocurrency industry.
There's a new list of the richest Americans out and it's a doozy. For one thing, the poorest person on the list is worth $2.1 billion. Last year, the poorest was worth $100 million.


Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson's new novel holds strong at number one, while R.A. Salvatore's latest follows suit in the number two slot. Actually everything is the same as last week, except for A Touch of Dead being replaced by a book by Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich with a novel in the fantasy genre? Are we still on planet earth?
The Gathering Storm moves swiftly into the top spot, with R.A. Salvatore's The Demon Awakens following closely behind. A new entry this week, Paradox I by Rosemary Laurey, rounds out the top three. A Touch of Dead and Full Moon Rising hang on in the four and five spots.
R.A. Salvatore's The Demon Awakens holds strong in the number one slot for the second week straight, while the new Wheel of Time book, The Gathering Storm, co-authored by Brandon Sanderson premiers at number three, while the release date of the book is still more than two weeks away.
The Demon Awakens, a new R.A. Salvatore book independent of Wizards of the Coast and the Forgotten Realms saga premiers in the number one slot this week. The Time Traveler's Wife gets knocked off, ending its twelve week reign in the top five. A Touch of Dead and Full Moon Rising move up a few spots, while An Echo in the Bone and According to Jane drop a few.
Full Moon Rising holds strong in the number one slot, while An Echo in the Bone, the seventh entry in the Outlander series, makes an entrance at the number two slot. The Time Traveler's Wife gets bumped out of the number two slot all the way down to number five.
Cayla Kluver's novel had a short run at the top, dropping completely off the top 5 list after only one week. Also dropping this week is Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice. The Briar King jumps back into the top five, filling in the fifth spot.
We've got two new entries this week, the first being a debut from sixteen year old author Cayla Kluver. The second, Full Moon Rising, is yet another vampire/werewolf book making its way into the top five.

Trial begins for scout leader on alleged child sex charges
PUBLISHED: 10:00 24 January 2012 | UPDATED: 09:47 25 January 2012
Report by Alex Evans
David Burland is accused of 33 separate offences
A SCOUT leader has gone on trial accused of 33 charges of sexual offences involving children.
David Burland, age 54, former leader of the 1st Burnham scout group, was charged with 18 counts of indecently assaulting boys aged under 16, on separate occasions.
He was also charged with nine counts of sexual activity with a child, two charges of indecency with a child, three charges of sexual assault and one count of exposure.
Burland, of Ramsay Way, Burnham, pleaded not guilty to the charges, which dated from June 1987 to December 2010.
The court heard how Burland allegedly asked a 14-year-old boy to watch pornography with him, questioning the boy's sexuality when he seemed reluctant in order to make him comply.
The court heard how this was an attempt to 'normalise' the abuse and, Ian Fenny, prosecuting, said, 'ensure his silence'.
Burland allegedly took the boy to his home and started to masturbate in front of him, touching the boy indecently through his clothes.
Mr Fenny described Burland as 'a sexual predator, someone who abuses youngsters for their own sexual gratification'.
He said: "A person every volunteer dreads, a man who uses his position to abuse those who come into his sphere of influence.
"The defendant was adept and skilled in selecting his victims and in the main, his victims liked him.
"They were confused by what he did. They were frightened."
The court heard how Burland had allegedly began touching a 10-year-old boy after he became friends with Burland's son.
The alleged abuse escalated as the boy entered secondary school age, the court heard.
Burland allegedly went into the boy's bedroom while he was staying at Burland's home and touched him, the court was told.
Prosecutors allege he was subjected to a range of abuse.
Mr Fenny told the court how Burland allegedly 'corrupted' the boy.
Prosecuting, Ian Fenny said: "This is a gross breach of trust.
"He is skilled and manipulative and he hides behind a cloak of respectability."
Mr Fenny described Burland as a man with 'easy access to alcohol and pornography', which he told the court had been used to befriend the boy.
The court heard how the abuse only came to an end when the boy's family moved away – but even then, Burland kept in contact with him, the prosecution alleged.
The court was also told of another alleged victim, a boy under 16 who was friends with Burland's daughter and attended the same school.
The court heard how Burland allegedly stripped naked in front of the boy when he was visiting Burland's home.
Burland allegedly 'snogged' the boy at the scout hut and later persuaded the boy to touch him inappropriately, the court heard.
Jurors were also told how Burland allegedly exposed himself to a girl under 16 and sexually assaulted her on three occasions.
Burland 'put his hand in her pyjamas, rubbed her tummy, back and touched her leg', the court heard.
It was when Burland touched the girl in front of a Beavers leader that his alleged abuses were exposed, the court was told.
He said: "The defendant was in a position of trust. This was not a relationship of equals."
"The victims liked him, they trusted him, they spent lots of time with him.
"It is not something his friends, wife or children knew about. This is a dark factor of his life."
Burland denies all charges. The trial continues, and is expected to last two weeks.

'Law & Order: Organized Crime': Robin Lord Taylor Talks McClane's Connection to Angela Wheatley
by Victoria Santiago January 12, 2022
written by Victoria Santiago January 12, 2022
Law & Order: Organized Crime fans know all about the devious yet good-hearted hacker Sebastian McClane. Lately, he's been mingling with Richard and Angela Wheatley. The guest star's plot currently finds him trying to stay ahead of Detective Stabler. To do so, he's been spending a lot of time working with Richard. Of course, that means he often comes into contact with Wheatley's ex-wife, Angela. While McClane doesn't trust Wheatley at all, he and Angela share something of a special bond.
During an interview with TV Insider, Robin Lord Taylor talks more about his character and his relationship with Angela. As we know, Angela has been in the crosshairs of her ex-husband, Richard. He even went so far as to try to murder her by injecting her with poison. Since then, Angela has become more of a vulnerable character. How much of Angela and Richard's backstory does McClane know?
"He's done his homework. He knows about Angela," Robin Lord Taylor told TV Insider. "As we know, as watchers of the show, Angela Wheatley is also a good person. She's a good person, who's, again, found herself in a really terrible place really due to no fault of her own, just being a human and making mistakes. And then here she is kind of stuck with this man who is a sociopath, who is just one of the most evil people in the world. That's sort of part of that connection that McClane and Angela have. They gotta get around this guy if they have any chance to survive."
Angela and Sebastian Both Use Richard For Their Own Purposes
It might seem like Sebastian McClane is at the mercy of crime boss Richard Wheatley, but that's not the case. While trying to stay ahead of Detective Stabler, the two are playing their own game as well. So far, Wheatley has made good on his promises to McClane – after all, he did break him out of jail. But still, McClane feels like Wheatley can't be trusted. Their relationship is symbiotic at this point because they're both using the other to stay ahead of Stabler.
Not to mention, Wheatley is a sociopath. McClane and Angela are well aware of this and have to navigate this tricky person just to stay alive. Both of them are good people deep-down and have a hard time being around Wheatley because of their moral differences. Even though their moral differences are huge, McClane is using that to his advantage. "So now he's sort of stuck working for this person that he maybe not necessarily agrees with on any sort of moral level," Taylor said. But then at the same time, there are loose ends that he wants to tie up since he was imprisoned. So, he is also using Wheatley, so it's a really fun dance that they're doing in the next episode."


Saudi Arabia's oil minister Ali al-Naimi said on Wednesday that there is no need to worry about oil prices because the market is healthy.
"There is no need to worry because the market is in a very healthy condition," he told reporters in the Indian capital.
Prices fell 3% to hit $50.53 on Tuesday, the lowest level since May 26, 2005, after Naimi said OPEC production cuts were working well and there was no need for an emergency meeting of the producer group.

چکیده انگلیسی: BACKGROUND: Graphene is an allotrope of carbon with two-dimensional (2D) monolayer honeycombs. A larger detection area and higher sensitivity can be provided by a graphene based nanosenor because of its two-dimensional structure. In addition, owing to its special characteristics including electrical, optical and physical properties, graphene is a known more suitable candidate than other materials for use in sensor applications. RESULT: In this research, a set of novel models employing field effect transistor (FET) structures using graphene has been proposed and the current–voltage (I-V) characteristics of graphene have been employed to model the sensing mechanism. An adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) algorithm has been used to provide another model for the current–voltage (I-V) characteristic. CONCLUSION: It has been observed that the graphene device experiences a large increase in conductance when exposed to Escherichia coli bacteria at 0–10 4 cfu mL −1 concentrations. Accordingly, the proposed model exhibits satisfactory agreement with the experimental data and this biosensor can detect E. coli bacteria providing high levels of sensitivity.

Flying in white after labor day?
Hello, I just received my Mocha yesterday. I tried to ask a question about painting the Mocha, but the software wouldn't post it because it "looked too spamy for a new user", and asked me to remove my bad words. IDK, is neophyte a bad word?
Re: Flying in white after labor day?
Neophyte is a fine word.
+1 on the question about paint that works well on Styrofoam.
I'll be hitting up my local hobby store tomorrow and see what they say as well.
I have actually no idea on paint. I used a felt pen on one to mark problem areas and it rubs off. Maybe Sharpies will work? We have always marked ours by gluing on covering (thin colored plastic sheet for covering model airplanes) with 3M Super 77 or Super 90. I bet there are solutions posted on RCGroups...so far the only straight answer I have found is that any will work. BUT one post says that too much will melt it. So, more searching to be done.
Yeah, generally covering in ultrakote with 3M 77 spray glue is what's often recommended. It's a bit tricky, the spray glue can often go where you don't want it. And Ultrakote/monokote and similar coverings shrink with heat. They will actually relax a bit until the sun warms up the wing, usually that's a good thing, unless you've got it too tight somewhere.
Normally one applies ultrakote with an iron to glue it down *don't do this*, as you will likely melt the wing, hence the 3M 77 glue. I did tighten it a bit with a very carefully and gingerly applied heat gun on my EPS flying wing, with decent results. Patients is required, you can't undo, so gradual application of heat is key, should you decide to. Or skip it entirely.
High contrast colors recommended, with differentiation between top and bottom. Nuclear lime green and florescent orange are ideal for recognition, although frankly not the most attractive.
If you find a compatible spray paint, do tell.


Are you looking for a more comprehensive water purification solution than the carbon-filtered jug sitting in the fridge? Do you want to make certain that your water supply is actually potable? As a leading service provider of water purifiers throughout the West Palm Beach, FL area, we want to help you find a system that proves useful to you and your family. Whether your water has excessive mineral content, leaves a strangely colored residue on your shower pan, or just tastes awful, we have a number of different options for you to consider. Let us find a solution for you.
Don't hesitate to call Admiral Plumbing Services, LLC today for water purification services in West Palm Beach, FL.
Water problems stem from various sources, and there is often not a single cause of the problem, but several. That's what makes hiring a specialist so critical to resolving the issue quickly and accurately. While some water issues are merely displeasing, others can be unhealthy, and more and more homeowners are realizing the importance of whole–house, as well as point–of–use, water purification.
There is plenty that can get into potable water, whether it comes from a well or from a municipal source. Mineral salts, sediments, chemicals, chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, benzene, radon, nitrates, Giardia, lead, cadmium—such issues should not be ignored, though they range in seriousness. If your water tastes strange or "off" in any way at all, then don't hesitate to reach out to our team.
We offer water testing as well so that we can help you decide the best course of action. Whole–house water purification systems have much to recommend them, and there are plenty to choose from. In addition to the various types of sediment and carbon filters that you may already be familiar with, the reverse–osmosis unit is one of the most comprehensive. It forces water through a semi–permeable membrane, leaving contaminants behind.
If you want to target biological contaminants, then you'll need to consider a disinfection unit, which frequently use ultraviolet light to destroy biological contaminants. One of the benefits of UV water purifiers is that they do not require the use of chemicals such as chlorine. Lastly, while finding the right device is critically important, make sure it's installed by a professional plumber to ensure satisfactory operation.
If you are looking for a water treatment system you can set and forget, look no further than the Halo 5. This system offers whole house water filtration and conditioning with NO maintenance required! The Halo 5 is a highly effective, eco–friendly, non–chemical approach to water treatment. There are different sizes available depending on your family's needs and water usage. All systems are expected to last around a decade, sometimes longer for the larger units. Contact a Halo 5 professional at Admiral Plumbing Services, LLC for more info on sizing, installation or for general questions regarding the system.
Allow our trained plumbers to install your water purifier, whether it's a reverse osmosis unit, a UV light or some other system. We use only high quality equipment, and we'll make sure that your new system is seamlessly integrated into the rest of your plumbing system. We want you to be comfortable in your own home, and that means having a bountiful supply of purified water at your disposal. Reach out to our friendly staff today to learn more about what we can do for you. In addition to installing new water purifiers, we also service them.

Parts Of Antarctica May Be At Risk Of Colonization By Fast-Breeding Invasive Species
Madison Dapcevich

For the first time, researchers report finding an invasive and "ecologically harmful" organism along Antarctic shorelines. Harvepino/Shutterstock
Coastal areas of Antarctica were long thought to be isolated from the rest of the world through natural barriers and processes that made the icy continent impenetrable to outside organisms. Now, the discovery of invasive moss-like marine organisms pokes holes in that theory, suggesting that the southernmost ecosystem may soon be at risk from invaders.
Membranipora membranacea is a small bryozoan native to European waters that forms crusty white, lace-like colonies on inhabited algae. Like many plants, animals, and bacterium, M. membranacea travel through global waters by hitchhiking on kelp rafts driven by winds and currents. At this very moment, researchers estimate there are more than 70 million kelp rafts floating in the Southern Ocean, each like a living, floating "island" that hosts passengers from their original location as well as those picked up on route.
"Although this way of natural expansion was known in other natural ecosystems in the planet, in Antarctica, this phenomenon has taken a special scientific relevance as a potential mechanism to introduce new species in the Antarctic ecosystems", said researcher Conxita Àvila, from the Department of Evolutionary Biology, Ecology and Environmental Sciences and IRBio, in a statement.
Membranipora membranacea has a fast growth rate and could easily colonize a notable surface of kelp rafts. University of Barcelona
A collaborative team of researchers from the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio), as well as the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC), the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), and the University of Hull collected 14 kelp rafts between 2016 and 2017 near Deception Island, a volcanic region of Antarctica. For the first time, they report finding the invasive and "ecologically harmful" M. membranacea along Antarctic shorelines.
The bryozoan has not previously been reported this far south, which means it could have a big ecological impact on the biodiversity of the region in the future. The species grows quickly and can easily colonize kelp rafts. As the moss-like organism expands, it limits the ability of local kelp to reproduce and grow and makes them more prone to breaking during storms through its hardened exterior.
"Moreover, the encrusting colonies can settle on other surfaces (plastics, boats, etc.), and plankton larvae can be transported by ballast water and survive during months. All these factors would affect the environmental balance should the species settle in Antarctica," explained researcher Blanca Figuerola of ICM-CSIC.
The findings demonstrate that natural invasion may happen at any time and may be much easier than previously thought. Previous research has found that oceanic currents may be connecting Antarctica to the rest of the world. The drifting of algae and plastics driven by wind and marine currents can help facilitate the movement of non-native objects and living organisms to habitats already vulnerable due to climate change-related effects. Antarctica's geographic location and proximity to South America make it particularly vulnerable to invasive species. This, coupled with high temperatures and fast ice melting across the planet, make the continent at-risk of ecosystem-altering invasions from foreign organisms.
"The Antarctic is warming, presenting new opportunities, both caused by humans and nature [sic], for animals and plants to enter Antarctic waters, changing the existing unique local communities forever," said Huw James Griffiths of BAS.
The authors say that the effects of "passengers" in Antarctic ecosystems are largely unknown and require future monitoring in the coming years.

Q: How to dispose a SQL connection in c# in a best way? I have disposed of my SqlConnection this way:
sqlcon.open();
sqlcom.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlcom.close();

but I am not satisfied with this way of disposing it.

A: The using will take care of it for you. Under the hood, SqlConnection.Dispose() calls the SqlConnection.Close() method, and SqlCommand.Dispose() calls SqlCommand.Close().
As additional background, a using statement is syntactic sugar for a try ... finally that disposes the IDisposable object in the finally.

A: What exactly makes you feel unsatisified? Everthing in your code is fine, except the fact that you could put it into a using-statement to ensure it gets disposed even on an error - e.g. an exception:
using (var sqlconn = new ...)
using (var sqlcom = new ...)
{
    sqlcon.open();
    sqlcom.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

This way Dispose (which automatically calls Close)  is called when leaving the using, be it in a usual way or by an exception.

To evaluate the potential for carryover of dithiopyr, indaziflam, isoxaben, oryzalin, and pendimethalin to injure rotationally-grown peony stock after transplanting in the field.
Two rates each (minimum and maximum labeled rates) of dithiopyr, indaziflam, isoxaben, oryzalin, and pendimethalin will be applied to bare soil in 44 plots. Plots will be tilled immediately after treatment to mix the herbicide into soil and to mimic the distribution the herbicide would have following a rotationally-grown crop. Nontreated control plots will be tilled first, followed by low and high rates of each herbicide. Plant materials will be planted into each treated plot. Visual weed control and injury percentages will be estimated periodically during the growing season. The ornamental plant material will be lifted at onset of dormancy and all plants will be weighed, above- and below-ground growth measured, and observed for abnormalities in growth (crooked stems, swellings at the soil line, etc.).

"Design Sustainability and Green Communities" Steve Padget
Interviewed by Ahmad Zohadi
Steve Padget
AIA, LEED AP BD&C, faculty member in Architecture at the University of Kansas
Architecture is a profession. Architects, as all professionals, act in the service of the public's health, safety and welfare (HSW).
'Heath, Safety and Welfare' can be seen as a large category that includes everything from code compliance to cultural sustenance. The most crucial HSW problems humankind faces now is caused by the rapid industrialization and population growth of the last 200 years. These factors have led to the depletion and degradation of life's resources, mass extinctions of many species, and anthropogenic climate change. There is no greater challenge and professional responsibility for architecture than to solve these problems through Sustainable Design. If the objectives of Sustainable Design are to be fulfilled, this will take the multidisciplinary efforts of the entire profession along with other design, planning, and construction professionals. Individual efforts will be important, but the challenge is too big to be met by a few heroic individuals (the old model of architect as 'gentleman artiste').
Unfortunately, much of architectural practice continues to operate from this neo-romantic paradigm that over-values 'passion', individual aesthetic expression, and phenomenal excitement. The formal expression of Sustainable Design must be sought, but this effort must not compromise the physical performance of our designs. The stakes are too high. If James Lovelock (the scientist who first used the concept of 'Gaia' to explain the threats of climate change) is correct, the earth (Gaia) is not at dire risk, humankind is not at dire risk, but human culture is. Sustainability occurs at the meeting ground of; environmental performance, equity performance and economic performance.
This 'triple bottom line' (TBL) thinking provides us with a new paradigm from which to redefine architecture and the role a professional architect must fill in humankind's attempt to redefine its relationship to nature. The ideal sustainable design fulfills the triple bottom line by acting like a species in its habitat. Paraphrasing from the "Living Building Challenge"; it provides as much energy as it uses, harvests its own water, is adapted to its context, operates pollution free, promotes health and well-being, and is beautiful. Description: The literal meaning of sustainability is the ability to sustain.
That is simple enough. But it leaves the question, "sustain what?" My answer to this question is,"… a healthy way for our species to occupy this planet". Our rapid industrialization of the planet Earth and rapid population growth over the last 200 years has led to a very unhealthy relationship with the planet. This age, the Anthropocene, has been defined by the depletion and degradation of life's resources, mass extinctions of many species, and anthropogenic climate change.
What should we do in order to establish an ability to sustain a healthy way for our species to inhabit this planet? First, we must act as though we are part of Earth's Nature, not separate from it. Our sense of separation from Nature has caused us to consider Nature to be "the Other" to be feared, conquered, and exploited. Second, we must cure ourselves of our hubris. Our modern technology has allowed us the illusion that we are "in charge" and have succeeded in overcoming Nature. We have, in the ancient Greeks' terms, put ourselves in the place of the gods – "hubris". Third, we must act as though the Earth has limits. It is, in Buckminster Fuller's term, "Spaceship Earth". We are all passengers on this blue marble, and the resources are finite. Fourth, we must act according to Elkington's "Triple Bottom Line" thinking. That is, Economic interests, Ecological interests, and Equity interests must be seen as co-dependent, not as conflicting objectives. A sustainable state does not exist without finding the synergies amongst these three bottom-lines. Only by addressing all four of the above can we develop the ability to sustain a healthy way for our species to inhabit this planet. Or in other words, to achieve sustainability.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday reiterated his resolve to ensure that nobody was allowed to loot the country's treasury.
Buhari renewed the pledge in Bauchi at a campaign rally organized to support Alhaji Lawal Gumau, candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC) for the Bauchi South Senatorial by-election, slated for August 11.
"What I will never exhibit is to allow selfish politicians loot public treasury and allow the masses be cheated.
"I prayed to God to expose sycophants that are still within our party, who are bent on trying to loot our resources," he said.
The president said his administration had not relented in addressing the security challenges in the country, as well as placing the nation on a sound economic footing.
He therefore solicited the support of the people of the state in voting the APC candidate in the forthcoming senatorial by-election in the state.
National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, had earlier described former members of the party that recently defected from the party, as looters.
"This is a clear indication that some of them (defectors) have been sharing the country's resources for 16 years but failed to do that in the last three years.
"Most of them are afraid of the anti-corruption crusade being waged by this administration, and are sure that most of them will find themselves behind bars.
"We are happy over such defection because we are fed up with the nefarious activities being perpetrated by them," the chairman said.
In his speech, Gov. Mohammed Abubakar told the gathering not to be deceived by the antics of some former leaders.
He called on the electorate, especially those within Bauchi South Senatorial District, to vote for the candidate of the party during the forthcoming by-election.
In his remarks, State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Uba Nana, said the current defection saga had not affected the party in the state.
He said that instead of members defecting to other parties, APC in the state had witnessed mass influx of people from other parties.
The chairman said that 25 other political parties in the state had formed alliance with APC, to enable the party emerge victorious in the forthcoming by-election.

Couch Connections, A Documentary About Couchsurfing
You may not be able to do the traveling you want right now, but that's ok. This documentary will take you on a travel journey as you've never experienced and probably never will. Sit back and relax and enjoy this new documentary, Couch Connections, available now on Amazon Prime Video.
Christoph Pehofer took a nine-month journey through North America and Asia. Staying in hostels was a rare alternative. What he did instead was sleeping in complete strangers` living rooms, or as we like to refer to it as "Couchsurfing".
Christoph was tired of hearing stereotypes and clichés and would therefore like to demonstrate with this film, that we are all equal and that we can trust each other, no matter where we're from or which skin color, religion, sex or sexuality we have! This movie is set out to prove that this world is full of amazing and wonderful people.
"For me traveling is not about seeing as many different places as possible. It is about meeting people from all around the world." – Christoph Pehofer
To go on a world trip sleeping mainly on strangers` couches has absolutely nothing to do with high standards, big expectations and comfort. The only motivation is to establish contacts and socialize with people from all over the world while having a place to stay. It's likely that the desire to engage with foreign cultures as well as to get to know their way of living played a considerable role too. The open-mindedness towards the unknown is what constituted Chrisophs' joy of it.
Christoph believes that in a world full of barriers, building bridges between cultures is often linked with fear, caution and sometimes even rejection. That's why he made this film. He was able to show that sometimes it only takes a few steps towards other people to establish wonderful friendships. Why not start by inviting them to your living room, to talk, to laugh, to exchange. All while sitting on a couch!
Christoph discovered Couchsurfing thanks to his cousin. He even met his Chilean wife through this way of traveling. Since then he too has welcomed strangers into his own home. Couchsurfing offers you worldwide friendships. Not many people can claim to have friends all over the world.
Would you be interested in Couchsurfing?

Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT)	is observer in New South Wales (except Broken Hill and Lord Howe Island), Victoria, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Canberra AEDT is equal to Coordinated Universal Time plus 11 hours (UTC +11). During a summer time period, these locations move from AEST to Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), and clocks are advanced to UTC +11.
Daylight saving or summer time is commonly expressed as AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time). In periods of daylight saving an hour is added to the Local Standard Time.
The regulation of time is a State Government responsibility. Changes to the period of daylight saving may be made by regulation. Legislation to harmonise daylight saving in NSW with the south-eastern states and the ACT was passed by the NSW Parliament on 23 October 2007.
History of daylight saving in New South Wales
Daylight saving operated nationally for single summer during World War I from 1 January 1917 to 25 March 1917 and during World War II for three summers in a row, starting on 1 January 1942. Daylight saving was re-introduced for third time in New South Wales on 31 October 1971 after New South Wales Parliament passed the Standard Time Act 1971. A referendum held on 1 May 1976 proposed that daylight saving should be on a permanent basis. The ballot paper stated: "At present there is a period commonly called 'daylight saving' by which time is advanced by one hour for the period commencing on the last Sunday in October in each year and ending on the first Sunday in March in the following year. Electors were then asked to answer YES or NO to the question: Are you in favour of daylight saving? 1,882,770 electors were in favour, 868,900 were against and 35,507 votes were informal.\" The period of daylight saving is prescribed by the Daylight Saving Regulations 2008, made under the Daylight Saving Act 2007. Since April 2008, daylight saving has been synchronised across Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and South Australia, although South Australia remains half an hour behind throughout the year due to the observance of Australian Central Standard Time.
Which is correct Daylight Savings or Daylight Saving (with or without the 's' at the end)? The correct spelling in Australia is without the 's'.

You actually can use it for more than 5v, but then you have to use a voltage divider as Akillion said. There are probably instructables for this, if not, there are lots of information on how to make such a rather simple device on the net.
Hi Niranjan, I have 6 pins - GND VCC SCL SDA RES and DC. How will the connections be in that case ?
Hi, how could I modify this to work upto 50.4v? Thanks!
