Summarizing 2020...
In a year that has been devastating to so many, it's difficult to find the right words to share how, for us at OMO, this has also been a year of growth and possibilities. Building OMO kept us sane and the connections within this community have kept us hopeful. OMO has been something we could focus our energies on, our way of continuing to help the community, to bring consistency in a time of chaos.
When school buildings closed here on March 13, Amy said "let's build something to keep people from being isolated". March 16 we were up and running, a two-woman operation--Journaling, Yoga/Exercise, English/Social Studies, Math/Science, Language, Creative Arts, and Book Group five days a week, with Amy bringing in fascinating presenters and being on Zoom from 8am to 5pm every day and Jessica building the background stuff--the website, social media, and general organizational plan. Our friends and neighbors joined us—children seeking the classroom-like environment that they missed, parents looking for ways to keep their kids learning and socializing (or even to get just 45-minutes to themselves to focus on their own needs or work), adults and children volunteering as a way of keeping connected. We went from planning one day at a time, to getting consistent volunteers signed up to lead exercise, book groups, and language so that we could plan a whole week out, which felt like forever in Covid-time. The first month passed in a blur because, like many, we didn't think stay-at-home orders or Covid-19 would last long. We were happy to steam ahead a week at a time. Gradually, some of our consistent volunteers became trusted advisors. Jessie and Rachel and then Hannah brought their skills and their experiences to fill in the knowledge and organizational gaps that Amy and Jessica couldn't complete alone. As in all the best memories, how exactly we became a team was so seamless that the details are blurry, but our official Admin Team chat started March 30 (and we just reached the milestone of planning three months out!).
Each month brought changes, more difficult news, shifts in school, and adjustments to understanding the pandemic. We're grateful to our session volunteers that enabled us to flex to meet the needs of our OMO community. From the student-focused sessions in the Spring, to the higher number of adult-focused evening sessions of the Fall, so many amazing people have been willing to share their knowledge, their life experience, their hobbies, and their skills to help others learn and grow together. While our daily lineup has shifted, our goals of Conversation, Community, and Connection continue to guide our decisions on what sessions to offer.
We've been joined by local celebrities like Circus Greg and State's Attorney Rich Gibson and by some well-known people from farther afield like Kazu Kibuishi, Eva Schloss, Hena Khan, and Savvy ASL. We've had sessions led by people who have survived tragedy (both historical and widespread and recent and personal) and are willing to help others learn from their experience. We've featured authors, physicians, educators, engineers, business people, artists, historians, landscape architects, scientists, and those who will grow up to take on those careers. And we've learned that what people do for work does not define their life—we're all an impressive mix of interests, knowledge, hobbies, skills, and lived experiences.
We're proud of how OMO has connected people to new friendships, new pandemic hobbies, and new favorite authors. We're proud that we've created a space that presenters and attendees enjoy coming back to. We're proud that OMO is a trusted space where parents feel their children are safe to learn, play, and chat together (it takes a village, and sometimes that close-knit-neighborhood-parent-network is virtual). We're proud to be an integral part of people's journeys to better understanding of social justice and restorative justice. We're proud to have been able to connect people with information and to amazing organizations that are doing much-needed work for food security and social justice, including the youth-led organizations here in Howard County.
This year has revealed that people are seeking opportunities and spaces to be vulnerable. Sometimes that vulnerability means being willing to say "I don't know, I don't understand, but I'm willing to learn". Children are consistently good at this but we adults sometimes need reminding especially when addressing challenging topics like systemic racism. Sometimes that vulnerability means answering "How are you?" honestly. We intentionally start OMO sessions with that question because how better to connect with others than by finding out where they're at emotionally in that moment. In sessions, some felt "worn down" or "surprisingly good" or "just sad" or "happy to see the sun shine", and it has been common for those emotions to be acknowledged by the group, whether friends or strangers, as normal; we are caring of the down ones even if we aren't down and we are happy for the happy ones even if we aren't happy. Consistently, the idea of "your emotions are valid" has been respected, and we've learned so much about the myriad feelings that are simultaneously unique to us and common to the human experience (and once again the children on OMO set a fine example with their ability to articulate feelings and be comfortable with themselves).
From babies in our circle time sessions to nonagenarians in our social learning sessions, OMO has become what we set out to make: a multigenerational social learning environment that keeps our community connected. Our "community" started with the physical boundaries of Oakland Mills, but, like the culture of the neighborhood we live in, we are strongest together when "community" takes on a broader definition—people gathering with a common goal or purpose, to learn and grow together.
Thank you to everyone who has attended, moderated, or led a session. Thank you to everyone who shared OMO with others and introduced us to more amazing people and organizations. Thank you to the parents who brought their children to sessions; not only do we appreciate that you trusted us to care for your child's well-being like we do with our own, but because the adults in the Zoom learn so much from those wise, witty, and wonderful humans. Thank you to our Board members for guiding us. Thank you to our partners, especially the Howard County Library System, for helping us offer sessions that appeal to so many. Thank you to the Horizon Foundation, the Howard County Government, and Bright Minds for supporting us through grants, and to the Stevens Forest Elementary School PTA for acting as our financial sponsor while we wait for the final piece of our non-profit application to process. The list of people who have been a part of this community endeavor is joyfully long, so can't be listed here, but please know that you have brightened our world.
Wishing you all the best in the year ahead,
Rachel, Amy, Jessica, Jessie, and Hannah

I am using an email template created and provided by Litmus. I have customized it for my client. Once I test it in Litmus, it fails in Outlook 2010 & 2013. I can't seem to find out why?!
Please post your code, otherwise no one will be able to offer help. Also if you could explain further exactly what is going wrong in your Outlook 2010 & 2013 tests, that would be helpful too. Good luck!


This page explains the facility for changing the look and feel of Confluence with CSS.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are an industry-standard way of styling a web page. The content of a page is rendered with HTML, and its look and feel is determined by CSS files. You can upload a CSS text file, or simply type in a stylesheet, and apply it to a space or even a whole Confluence site.
Note: By default, only system administrators can edit the CSS for a space or for the site. To allow any user with Space Admin permissions to edit the CSS for a space, go to > General Configuration > Security Configuration and select Custom Stylesheets for Spaces.
Creating CSS styles that work seamlessly across different browsers is a delicate task for basic web sites, and reasonably challenging when customizing web applications like Confluence. It is important to test each change that you make and ensure it works as expected in all areas of Confluence – for example, on the Confluence dashboard as well as on regular pages.
In order to get you started, we have compiled this introduction, a basic styling tutorial.
If you are not familiar with CSS, see the links in the CSS Resources section below. You should spend some time to become confident with Cascading Style Sheets before you start editing your Confluence style sheets.
Custom CSS can be used to inject scripts into a page, opening the risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. With this feature enabled, space administrators could upload styles that steal other users' login credentials, trick their browsers into performing actions on the wiki without their knowledge, or even obtain global administration privileges. As such, this feature is disabled by default. Confluence administrators should only enable custom CSS if they are comfortable with the risks listed in this paragraph.
Each page needs to scale. Depending on the resolution of the user's screen, the content should render intelligently. Your designs needs to degrade gracefully. Try resizing each page that exists in Confluence. There are quite a few pages in the browse-space-section, like drafts, labels, page hierarchy, and so on. Your style has to work everywhere, not just in the first page you happen to be looking at.
It is easy to turn off certain links, headers, or even menu items by simply setting their style to 'hidden'. This can help you to roll out Confluence to users that may not be very Wiki-savvy yet. The simpler the UI, the easier it may be for them to use. However, please remember that removing the link to a part of the application does not mean that the functionality is not available. Every user can still change their style from within their browsers, or access the URL directly. Don't rely on CSS to disable parts of Confluence.
Users familiar with Confluence will expect to find the same controls that they are accustomed to. Removing buttons or controls from the interface is not advised as it may frustrate your users and cause them to circumvent your design by using direct URL access, as mentioned above.
Any CSS styling applied to your site will not be applied to the Administration console. This is to ensure changes to CSS do not prevent administrators from accessing Admin functions in future.
Be aware of any plans to upgrade your Confluence instance. Future versions of Confluence may not be compatible with your custom CSS — this may cause your CSS to break, requiring maintenance when Confluence is upgraded. Ask your Confluence administrator for more information.
As a rule you should test your modifications on the various web browsers supported by Confluence.
As creating custom CSS has potentially limitless possibilities, Atlassian will not support issues that are caused by or related to CSS customization.
Paste your custom CSS into the text field.
Save your changes. The new CSS will be visible on all content pages in the space.
Choose > General Configuration > Stylesheet.
The new CSS will be visible across all spaces, provided they do not define their own custom stylesheet and are not using a theme. This CSS will also overwrite all styles defined in custom global themes.
You may be able to add CSS to your site by choosing Custom HTML in the administration section, and adding your CSS definitions to the HEAD or BODY of the page. You should only use this option if you cannot achieve the desired results via the global stylesheet.
Follow the examples in the Basic Styling Tutorial to get started.

The reason it is free is because the revenue model is not to sell copies or licenses of the movie but to sell frames and I bought one a long time ago.

Edexcel A2's Unit 3 requires that students create an original piece of theatre, in groups of between three and six, to last no longer than 30 minutes (bigger groups) and no less than 15 minutes (smaller groups). Students can use an existing play script – cutting, reordering and altering it to suit their own narrative purposes – or work with a stimulus theme to create a new storyline and play.
This scheme takes as its stimulus Anne Cassidy's gripping novel Looking for JJ, and examines the issue of children who kill. This disturbing topic never goes away, whether it's high school massacres in the US or the horrific attack on two nine and ten year old boys in Doncaster in 2009. Recently Jon Venables' return to custody has brought the issue back into the newspapers. This can be a contentious and complex theme for students to study, and for our technologically adept generation of students, there is a wealth of information and research available to them online. This is a boon but also a drawback – much of the material online about this topic is distressing and X-rated, and it's important that students are careful not to expose themselves to material that is going to upset them. The topic can also be unsuitable for certain vulnerable individuals, and it is obviously down to you to check that the themes and content are right for your students. I work in a school rather than a sixth form college, and I run this title and its themes past parents before beginning the scheme, which may seem needlessly cautious when the students are all on the cusp of adulthood, but does ensure that everybody knows exactly what they're getting into.
The novel Looking for JJ is beautifully written and very dramatic. It lends itself well to unit 3 work, because its structure is interesting – the eponymous JJ looks back at the circumstances that led her to her present, post-prison life with a new identity as 'Alice'. Two plots in two time-frames run side by side as 'Alice' tries to escape discovery by the Press (and accompanying vigilante lynch mobs) while layers of JJ's story and why she did what she did are gradually revealed.
I have used my original version of this scheme twice, once with a very able, gifted and talented A2 group, and once with a much more average ability group. In both cases the results were outstanding in terms of final performance and written evidence.

Q: Improve execution time of data import from google sheets to a MySQL table I have one large google sheet import that I am working on by breaking it down into smaller chunks for easier processing and this used to work fine until recently when the number of records grew significantly throwing off my script. The sheet has some 40 odd columns and each batch I execute is limited to 500 records and the execution time to process these records is ~4 minutes. I am exploring different options where I could bring down the execution time. The connection is getting closed if the execution were to run even longer than an hour. My idea is to optimize this code so it does not take too long to execute each batch. Is there a faster way to approach this bulk load in jdbc.
var address = 'database_IP_address';
var rootPwd = 'root_password';
var user = 'user_name';
var userPwd = 'user_password';
var db = 'database_name';

var root = 'root';
var instanceUrl = 'jdbc:mysql://' + address;
var dbUrl = instanceUrl + '/' + db;

function googleSheetsToMySQL() {

  var RecId;
  var Code;
  var ProductDescription;
  var Price;

  var dbconnection = Jdbc.getConnection(dbUrl, root, rootPwd);
  var statement = dbconnection.createStatement();
  var googlesheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('product');
  var data = googlesheet.getDataRange().getValues();

  for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
  RecId = data[i][0];
  Code = data[i][1];
  ProductDescription = data[i][2];
  Price = data[i][3];

  var sql = "{call [dbo].[sp_googlesheetstotable](?,?,?,?)}";
  statement = dbconnection.prepareCall(sql);
  statement.setString(1, RecId);
  statement.setString(2, Code);
  statement.setString(3, ProductDescription);
  statement.setString(4, Price);
  statement.executeUpdate();
  }

  statement.close();
  dbconnection.close();

While its constructed for a ton of living, its likewise simple to live with, because of phenomenal levels of extravagance, all around. There's a progressed, incorporated arrangement of wellbeing components. The on-street feeling is refined and firm.


Baking time may vary so make this in plenty time and keep warm in the oven.
Note: Can include parsnips, rutabaga, potatoes, carrots, etc. Yams and sweet potatoes cook faster than other root vegetables, so you might want to add them the last 30 minutes of roasting time.
2. Prepare the vegetables and place the root vegetables (but not the onion and peppers) in a large, covered bowl.
3. Combine the vinegar, oil, garlic, and spices in a small bowl, then pour over the vegetables. Shake bowl until the vegetables are covered with the liquid.
4. Oil a 13" x 9" baking pan and pour vegetables into it, gently shaking to distribute equally.
5. Bake in heated oven for 60 minutes.
6. With a spatula, mix up the roots and add the onions and peppers.
7. Bake another 30 minutes or so until the roots are easily pieced by a fork.
8. Serve on a platter or in a bowl, and enjoy.


Human pollution is turning the seas into acid so quickly that the coming decades will recreate conditions not seen on Earth since the time of the dinosaurs, scientists will warn today.
Chemical change is placing 'unprecedented' pressure on marine life such as shellfish and lobsters and could cause widespread extinctions, warn scientists. The rapid acidification is caused by the massive amounts of carbon dioxide released from chimneys and exhausts that dissolve in the ocean.
The study, by scientists at Bristol University, will be presented at a special three-day summit of climate scientists in Copenhagen, which opens today. The conference is intended to update the science of global warming and to shock politicians into taking action on carbon emissions.
Concern about ocean acidification from carbon pollution has grown in recent years, but the issue receives much less attention than global warming — also caused by human carbon emissions.

Q: How do I view my JSON data in a browser from my node.js VM Instance? I currently have Google cloud Compute engine running nodejs that is connected to a Google Cloud SQL witch takes data from MySQL workbench. This is my server.js file that I run with 'node'
var gcloud = require("gcloud");
var express = require("express");
var http = require('http');
var mysql = require("mysql");
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
  port: "3306",
  host : "173.194.87.72",
  user : "root",
  password : "****",
  database : "scripto_5_k"
});
var app = express();
/* Connection to Database */
connection.connect(function(error){
  if(error)
  {
    console.log("Problem with MySQL "+error);
  }
  else
  {
    console.log("Connected with Database ");
  }
});

app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);

app.get('/',function(req,res){
  res.send('hello index');
});

app.get('/load',function(req,res){
  console.log("/load hit");
  connection.query("SELECT * from user",function(err,rows){
    if(err)
    {
      console.log("Problem with MySQL"+err);
    }
    else
    {
      res.end(JSON.stringify(rows));
    }
  });
});
/*start the server */
app.listen(3000,function(){
  console.log("its started on PORT %s", app.settings.port);
});

this should take all the data in the user table and put it to JSON when I use /load. But I cant get Postman to display the data. This is the address I have been using
http://130.211.90.249:3000/load

The address is from Google cloud the port is the one I set in the server.js file and /load should use the function I have written above.
Why am I not seeing a result with this input? I am running the server with 'node server.js' on my VM instance and it says I have successfully connected.
Any help is really appreciated.
Edit 1
This is what my VM looks like when I run the server.js
my_user_name@nodejs-2:~$ node server.js
its started on PORT 3000
Connected with Database

No error but in Postman I get "Could not get any response" when I put in the address given above.
Edit 2
Do I need to create a http server in the server.js file that I run so that the JSON object can be reached by the request in Postman?
Edit 3
If I follow the ip address of my google cloud VM it takes me to a default page for Bitnami but tells me that node js is running in the cloud. Do I need to remove this default page or is it fine to just leave whilst the server runs?
Here is a link http://130.211.90.249/

A: Since the app is listening on port 3000 in your code, you need to create a firewall rule to make that port available from the outside.
From the developer console for that project, go to Networks and view the details for the default network.  Create a rule to allow traffic on port 3000.


This definitely was not the book I was expecting.
In my reviews, I don't really like walking through the plot and pointing out what I liked and disliked. So many great reviewers already do that… so I won't bore anyone with my own version of a summary.
I'll just start with this..
I wasn't sold on the first book in this series, as I've said before. I felt like the characters were a bit shallow. The relationships seemed forced at the beginning (lets face it, both guys fell in love with the girl instantly….and why? I get that they had their reasons for spending time with her, but I just can't see a guy thinking in his head about Lia the way they both did since day one. It was nothing but swooning and feelings-not super manly.) Hence my first review. However, I was pleasantly shocked by the plot twist, and the world building between the kingdoms hooked me.
I found that this book was so much more than the first. The plot has entirely changed. Not only do the relationships become much more believable, but the setting has entirely changed, which in turn, changes our heroine down to the core. I wasn't sure what she cared about before (aside from herself), but we see her battle out many new emotions and conflicts that run much deeper. I won't say too much about Rafe and Kaden, as not to spoil anything.
How I loved your character. How interesting you are. I can't quite predict you, and I love that.
I found myself absolutely enchanted with each page. I love learning about a kingdom this way- from the inside out, without many privileges. We get to see Venda from a new light. What a cool concept for a country- and oh how Pearson makes us care for it much more so than the other kingdoms. The only thing I didn't care for still was the religious aspect… but I get it.

The Gozo University Group has justified its decision to oppose the construction of a tunnel between Gozo and Malta, insisting other options could be explored.
The GUG was forced to release a statement on Tuesday after receiving flak when its representative came out against the tunnel project during a debate in Gozo. The position contrasted with past declarations by the university students group.
The debate, organised by heritage group Wirt Għawdex, took place on Monday and the GUG representative said Gozitan students were opposed to the tunnel and preferred a fast ferry service instead.
"A survey conducted last year showed us that many favoured the tunnel as it was the only idea of connectivity which was being thrown about. Nowadays, due to new information emerging, this is no longer the case. Thus, as the ideas of our fellow students change, so too must ours," GUG said.
It reiterated that a daily concern for Gozitan students was the abysmal ferry waiting time and proposed a fourth ship and a fast ferry service to improve connectivity between the islands.
"The majority of Gozitan students who travel both weekly and daily to Malta are not in favour of the proposed tunnel project, in fear of what it might cause to the quite island we so proudly call home," the organisation said.
A MaltaToday survey last November found that 63.1% of people agreed with a tunnel and 24.4% opposed it. Specifically in Gozo, 66% agreed with a tunnel, while 9.5% opposed it. However, the survey found that Gozitans were also the most uncertain about the project with 24.5% unsure whether they agreed or not with a tunnel connection to Malta.

UKIP Puffing Bilderberg Conspiracy Theories at European Parliament
Posted on May 31, 2010 by Richard Bartholomew
Staying with WorldNetDaily and economic woes in Greece, we're told that the meltdowm is evidence of the Bilderbergers' influence in world affairs, and that this will be acknowledged in a discussion at the EU:
Daniel Estulin, author of the hot-selling book, "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group," has even been invited to present an unprecedented speech before the European Parliament in Brussels June 1 on the subject of the secretive cabal…
"Economists cannot explain it without acknowledging the shadow masters working to manipulate economies," Estulin said. "There is a general awakening taking place in people and the national press. This is no longer the domain of conspiracy theorists. Especially in Europe, we're seeing enough cracks to have hope that this dam will break and more and more people will demand to know what the Bilderberg Group has been doing."
…"To these powerful people, national resources are theirs, not everyone's," Estulin told WND. "All these people want an empire. They don't want the people of the world to develop, to prosper, to grow the population. They want us to work for them, where our children and our children's children work for an elite group, the oligarchy.
"If people participate in the ideas shaping the world, if a nation is allowed to grow its own food, develop its own natural resources, be truly self-governing, it would end the Bilderbergers' oligarchy," Estulin said.
A second WND piece, from a few days ago, has further background to the EU invite:
He was invited to speak by Mario Borghezio, Italy's most senior member of the parliament, considered one of the most powerful legislative bodies in the world.
He compared his address there to an invitation to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress, a rare honor for anyone outside the ranks of the government.
…His work will be part of a presentation titled "Bilderberg Group – Towards Creation of One World Company Ltd.," which will include the work of Borghezio and British members Nigel Farage and Gerard Batten.
WND is promoting Estulin's book (published in English by TrineDay, a Eugene-based conspiracy-theory publishing house founded in 2002 by a certain Kris Milligen), and the book's thesis will be endorsed by Borghezio and his UKIP allies. A dissenting UKIP blogger named "Junius" has some fun with this:
In 1997, Rodney Atkinson published a book entitled 'Europe's Full Circle'. A large amount of the book was devoted to the Bilderberg Group. In 2000, the contents of this book were used by Farage as the basis for a series of attacks on Mr Atkinson after the author decided to stand for election as UKIP leader.
Atkinson was accused of being obsessed with conspiracy theories and was rather uncharitably branded a 'wacko'.
We can only assume that Farage was hoping that UKIPPERS had forgotten about this!
While WND gushes over Borghezio as "Italy's most senior member of the parliament", to most people he's known as a far-right rabble-rouser noted for distasteful publicity stunts for his Northern League party; Searchlight noted a few things about him in 2008 as part of an article on the anti-Islam pro-Köln movement:
He began his political career as a member of the fascist group Ordine Nuovo led by Pino Rauti, who is still under investigation for terrorist activities. He later joined the Northern League, which has been at the forefront of the xenophobic trend since its inception in the 1980s.
…Borghezio made his mark by setting fire to the tents of immigrants in Turin and later fought hard to convince people that immigrants were responsible for the spread of dangerous diseases such as TB.
A French-language news report about him can be seen on YouTube here. Borghezio is also a traditionalist Catholic; the Lega Nord's unofficial "chaplain" is a former SSPX priest named Floriano Abrahamowicz; Seismic Shock noted last year that:
In late January 2009, British Catholic SSPX priest Richard Williamson [this guy – RB] made headlines due to comments in an interview on Swedish TV playing down the numbers of Holocaust victims (Williamson estimated the real count to be between 200,000-300,000) and denying that the Nazis employed gas chambers to kill Jews.
Some days later, in an interview with Italian newspaper Tribuna de Trevise, Abrahamowicz defended his fellow SSPX member, claiming that the gas chambers were only used by the Nazis for 'disinfection', and complaining about the importance given to the Holocaust. The SSPX promptly dismissmed Abrahamowicz, distancing themselves from Holocaust denial.
As for Estulin himself, like a lot of these characters he boasts of all kinds of links to "intelligence sources", who tip him off on subjects such as 2007 US government plan to bump off Ron Paul. Last year he caused some offence to conspiracy theorists by describing Alex Jones' followers as "crazies" on Press TV.
I blogged on Bilderberg conspiracy theories here.

Anyone who comments on current affairs on-line risks being smeared by attack sites and/or abusive Tweets. This is particularly so if one chooses to challenge dishonesty or other kinds of reprehensible behaviour.
As a result of making a stand in a few particular instances, I have become the focus of a number of such attacks. Those who have targeted me include: a Nigerian evangelist who believes in "child witches"; former activists with the EDL; a man with a long history of bad debt and grandiosity; a sockpuppeting tabloid journalist; and a self-serving "celebrity" MP who deploys smears to discourage scrutiny.
The bad faith of such sites and Tweets ought to be self-evident. However, any readers interested in the true background can read this and this.

My trivial Summit League rankings – December 18th
December 18, 2017 acroth86 College Basketball, The Summit League AJ Jacobson, Bryson Scott, Denver Pioneers, Emmanuel Nzekwesi, Fort Wayne Mastodons, Javan White, John Konchar, Mike Daum, North Dakota State Bison, Omaha Mavericks, Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, Reed Tellinghuisen, South Dakota Coyotes, South Dakota State Jackrabbits, Tyler Hagedorn, Western Illinois Leathernecks
After winning 4 in a row, the Coyotes are the first Summit League team to reach 10 wins. The Coyotes had to rally back from a 12 point deficit on the road at San Jose State. Tyler Hagedorn scored 27 points on 6-of-8 on threes on Sunday to help out the rally. One of the fears of South Dakota heading into this season was that their interior game may be a little thin, but with Hagedorn playing like Mike Daum, the Coyotes really have a chance to show that they are the better team.
2. South Dakota State
Kind of nice that they were able to defeat future Summit League opponent North Dakota by 36, and then they were able to take Colorado to overtime over the weekend.
In their 36 point win over North Dakota, the Jackrabbits still had starter Reed Tellinghuisen out on the floor to end the game, as well as key bench players. They actually have such a lack of depth they had to play a starter in garbage time. Having Mike Daum is obviously great, but can the Jackrabbits keep moving at such a high pace all season without a complete lineup?
3. Western Illinois
They didn't play any games last week. Welp, see ya later.
4. North Dakota State
The Bison played Valley City State last week. That, could be a college? They shot 70% against the…Valley Cityers?
Even though they had a game that was basically just an open practice, they were still able to play competition and only play AJ Jacobson 15 minutes, as well as provide some experience for their youthful bench.
5. Fort Wayne
The Mastodons were able to pick up a win over the weekend against Stetson, and a win is a win, but the Bison were able to beat Stetson by 36 earlier in the year.
Bryson Scott is leading the League in scoring so far, so good for him. John Konchar leads the conference in rebounds, and that's nice.
The 'Dons are currently 7th in the Summit League in three point field goal percentage, shooting 35% on threes. Isn't shooting threes their thing? Sort of, since they lead the conference in three point field goals attempted per game with 28 per game.
Along with Omaha and Denver, Fort Wayne is one of three teams in the conference that average more turnovers than assists. The 'Dons have talent on their basketball team, but they probably shouldn't expect to get past day one of the Summit League tournament in March if they cannot play efficiently with that talent.
6. Oral Roberts
Players transferring, suspensions, and injuries are just a few of the problems for the Golden Eagles but they were able to pick up two wins in a row, including a 19 point win over Florida Gulf Coast.
The Golden Eagles are going to be the interior team this year in the Summit league. Javan White had 25 points and 11 rebounds against FGSU and Emmanuel Nzekwesi posted 24 points and 11 rebounds in the same game. Granted, the Golden Eagles are also experiencing such a lack of depth because of their issues that they have to play White and Nzekwesi for almost every meaningful second of every game, but the Golden Eagles may be able to pick up some unexpected conference wins this season if they can rebound, defend, and take care of the basketball against some of their high paced competition in the Summit League.
I have a mini panic attack whenever a Maverick player falls down.
8. Denver
The Pioneers have the worst assist-to-turnover ratio in the conference. They also force the least amount of turnovers, as well as have the fewest blocks in the Summit League so far. They're also 7th in the conference in scoring. Denver has had the weakest strength of schedule in the Summit League.
Aren't the Pioneers supposed to be playing at a high pace and scoring a bunch of points? They also returned almost their entire roster, which won't matter if they cannot play defense.
Maybe Arkansas State is just the right team to play right now
December 13, 2017 acroth86 College Basketball Arkansas State Red Wolves, Daniel Meyer, Daniel Norl, Deven Simms, Grant McCasland, James Miller, KJ Robinson, Lamar Wofford Humphrey, Matt Pile, Mike Balado, Omaha Mavericks, Renard Suggs, Ty Cockfield
Sure, it might be a little difficult to get excited about a game between a 3-6 Arkansas State team coming to Baxter Arena to play a 1-10 Maverick team. But hey, at least we get to see former Omaha Assistant Coach James Miller back in town.
Oh wait, no, James Miller left after last year's Arkansas State team reached 20 wins and head coach Grant McCasland bolted for North Texas and took Miller with him.
Now, Arkansas State is coached by Mike Balado, who was last an assistant coach at Louisville from 2013 to 2017. I don't think anything bad went down there in that time frame.
Well, never mind.
There doesn't seem to be any interesting Omaha to Arkansas State connections here. Well, Arkansas State football almost beat Nebraska football in September, but that doesn't really have anything to do with this. Nothing at all, actually.
Either way, the Red Wolves are coming to Baxter Arena as a 3-6 team that still has yet to win a road game, and the Mavericks will be looking to defend home court as a team that has only played one home game, that they won.
After a grueling non-conference schedule, Omaha only has 5 non-conference games left. In addition to tonight, they have two against non-division one opponents, another chance with Montana State, and a game we all assume they will lose at Kansas. Though, maybe Nebraska can wear down Kansas this weekend.
Omaha will enter tonight's game as a 3 point favorite against an Arkansas State team that just had a senior leave the roster. The Mavericks might be able to finally play senior Renard Suggs tonight against Arkansas State. Suggs could make an impact against a Red Wolves roster that has 8 upperclassmen. Half of their upperclassmen are returners from last seasons's 20-12 team.
The Red Wolves may have a better record than the Mavericks, but the Red Wolves currently rank 343rd in RPI, and their strength of schedule is ranked 333. In addition to that, they are letting bad teams shoot nearly 50% against them.
Arkansas State's leading scorer is 6'4″ senior Deven Simms, who is averaging 17 points a game and will likely be guarded by Zach Jackson. The team's second leading scorer is 5'11" junior Ty Cockfield averaging 14 points a game.
Even if Simms and Cockfield are working down a tiring Jackson and possibly David Norl or KJ Robinson, the Red Wolves lack a big man that could really defend Omaha big men Lamar Wofford-Humphrey or Matt Pile…and Wofford-Humphrey and Pile love to score down low and flex. Daniel Meyer also had a pretty active game against a Jackson State team that was similar to Arkansas State in size.
The Red Wolves had held their opponents to shoot less than 30% from behind the arch, and Omaha has generally been a bad team at penetrating at getting to the basket and free throw line.
Not sure how much the Mavericks actually need a win over this Arkansas team, it's not like they are trying to impress the NCAA Tournament committee with their resume at this point, but they will need a win for momentum heading into the Summit League schedule. Also, they need to prove to their fans and themselves that because of their difficult schedule and injuries, that they are better than your typical 1-10 sports team.
December 11, 2017 acroth86 College Basketball, The Summit League AJ Jacobson, Ayo Akinwole, Denver Pioneers, Fort Wayne Mastodons, Jeremiah Usiosefe, John Konchar, Matt Pile, Mike Daum, Mitch Hahn, North Dakota State Bison, Omaha Mavericks, Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, Renard Suggs, Rylan Murry, South Dakota Coyotes, South Dakota State Jackrabbits, Western Illinois Leathernecks
The Jackrabbits had a lead with 7 minutes to go playing at # 6 Wichita State. The key to shutting down the Jackrabbits might be slowing down Mike Daum, but no one in the Summit League has really proven that they can do that.
The Coyotes are currently leading the Summit League in fewest turnovers, and they also rank 3rd in defensive field goal percentage. It's tough to beat a team that can defend, as well as take care of the ball on offense.
The Pioneers are currently 3rd in the Summit League in field goal percentage, 2nd in three point field goal percentage, and they're also leading the conference in rebounding – as one of the smallest teams in the league.
While South Dakota State has defeated two Power 5 teams, Denver's win over Wyoming is probably the best non-conference win for any Summit League team so far. The Jackrabbits did lose to Wyoming.
I just threw up in my mouth. Okay, I actually just threw up all over my hands.
They are leading the Summit League in defensive field goal percentage, but they have played the against the easiest schedule in the league. It will be interesting to see what happens when they get to conference play, and see how they might play against teams who went the opposite direction as them in creating an incredibly difficult non-conference schedule.
Jeremiah Usiosefe did almost pick up a triple-double against Milwaukee on Saturday. He finished with 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists.
I'm sure the Bison will be fine in March, but they're actually not looking too impressive right now. AJ Jacobson appears slowed down, after having foot issues over the summer, and the post players are all incredibly inconsistent.
The Mastodons are leading the conference in steals, and probably have the fastest pace of play in the Summit League right now, and they're going to need that as they are currently one of the worst shooting teams in the conference. John Konchar actually seems a little more human so far this season.
Over the last couple of weeks, Missouri State managed to make South Dakota State and North Dakota State look like the worst version of themselves. Yesterday, the Golden Eagles were able to pick up their third win of the season over the Bears.
This team has been playing with injury issues, inconsistency with the newcomers on the team, and even a suspension to one of their best players.
This is turning out to be a nightmare season. The expectations weren't incredibly high before the beginning of the year, but now with the loss of Mitch Hahn, the Mavericks will have to fight harder for wins.
The Mavericks only had one steal as a team against Drake on Saturday. Has that ever happened?
Maybe things will start to improve when this team gets to add Renard Suggs to the roster, but right now the team needs depth at the forward position. Can we bring back Rylan Murry? Is he still in school?
This season might turn into mix tape for seeing what the future can be with Matt Pile and Ayo Akinwole. They're both incredibly smart players, and watching them develop and show what they can do has some excitement to it.
At least the Baxter Arena has caramel filled pretzels?
I don't even know what to really say right now. My brain is just in random places.
My trivial Summit League rankings – Dec 4
December 4, 2017 acroth86 College Basketball, The Summit League AJ Jacobson, Albert Owens, Billy Wright, Bryson Scott, Cameron Hunter, Daniel Amigo, Denver Pioneers, Emmanuel Nzekwesi, Fort Wayne Mastodons, Javan White, John Konchar, KJ Robinson, Kobe Webster, Lamar Wofford Humphrey, Mike Daum, Nick Fuller, North Dakota State Bison, Omaha Mavericks, Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, Paul Miller, Renard Suggs, South Dakota Coyotes, South Dakota State Jackrabbits, Triston Simpson, Tyler Hagedorn, Tyson Ward, Western Illinois Leathernecks, Zach Jackson
The Jackrabbits have beaten two big conference teams, so it would be difficult to put them any lower than first right now. They did play a horrendous game on Saturday against Missouri State. Mike Daum was 3-of-14 from the floor, and it was one of the worst team performances I've ever seen out of the Jackrabbits. At one point, I was wondering if the entire team was hungover.
The Coyotes really are a complete team. They can play big, they can play small, they can defend, they can shoot. Tyler Hagedorn has played extremely well to start the season averaging 13.5 points and 5 rebounds. He's outplayed Nebraska transfer Nick Fuller, which should show Nebraska fans how good they are at recruiting. I'm being mean to Fuller, and I don't like it. I've always liked Fuller, he's a smart player and does have some moves. 40 minutes of Hagedorn and Fuller won't be fun for Summit League teams. Hagedorn did have an embarrassing missed dunk against Duke, but oh well.
If I were a Coyote fan, I would just be worried how the team plays on offense when their point guard Triston Simpson goes to the bench.
The Bison are 3-4, but their strength of schedule in RPI is ranked 42, at this point. AJ Jacobson has been playing through injuries, but sophomore Tyson Ward and freshman Cameron Hunter have stepped up to make up the ground – which is just kind of North Dakota State's thing.
The Bison really don't have a point guard on the team, so they have been playing with Paul Miller at the point guard spot. This could turn out really swell, or it could be a bad thing. Miller may not be as comfortable in that spot as the Bison need him to be. He is shooting 37% from the field, which is down from last season when he shot 45% from the floor.
The 'Dons are beating the teams they're supposed to beat, and keeping close against teams that are considered toss up games. They arguably have the best back court in the league as Bryson Scott is efficiently scoring 23 points per game and John Konchar is still proving that he's the best all around player in the Summit League.
Their front court, though. I mean, they're their. Actually, maybe that's why John Konchar averages 10 rebounds per game.
The Pioneers schedule hasn't been overly difficult in comparison to other Summit League teams, but they did earn an impressive win over Wyoming.
Not much has changed in the Pioneers from last season. They'll play just a little bit smaller than last year, but not by much. Their non-conference season has mostly been a Look At What Daniel Amigo Can Do theme. Daniel Amigo has had 4 double-doubles in 8 games so far.
Sure, the Leathernecks are 5-2, but they've played two non-D1 opponents, and they've only left the state of Illinois once so far. They did shoot 60% against former Summit League team IUPUI, so that's kind of cool.
While this team has had a few players really step up their games, it is hard to really gauge how good (or bad) this team is at this point. The Leathernecks have a serious lack of depth with 5 players averaging more than 28 minutes per game. Billy Wright played senior Dalan Ancrum every single minute of their double overtime loss to Miami (Oh), and he even played Ancrum in every single minute of a 70-45 loss to Iowa State.
Freshman Kobe Webster is fun to watch and can handle the basketball tremendously.
There, I said something nice about the Leathernecks. I think this is the first time in 3 years.
The non-conference season for the Mavericks could be summed up with one of these: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Mavericks have played in incredibly difficult schedule mostly on the road while trying to mold together so many new faces, as well as deal with injuries to Mitch Hahn and Renard Suggs, who has yet to play a game this season.
With no players receiving any preseason awards, Zach Jackson is putting together a case to make an All Conference team in the post season, and Lamar Wofford-Humphrey could be a candidate for Newcomer of the Year. Is there a Most Improved Player Award? I'm not sure and I'm not ambitious enough to look it up, but if there is one, KJ Robinson could be handed that award.
The Golden Eagles earned their first win of the season over a division one opponent on Saturday when they defeated 2-6 Arkansas-Little Rock on the road in double overtime. The Golden Eagles have faced injuries and inconsistent play from newcomers while trying to figure out their newly assembled roster.
They have started playing with a bigger lineup with a starting front line of 6'9″ Albert Owens, 6'10" Javan White, and 6'8″ Emmanuel Nzekwesi. In the win over Arkansas-Little Rock, White had 18 points and 20 rebounds.


Shortly after dawn on Wednesday, Egyptian police cracked down on 6-week-long sit-ins by supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi in Cairo, sparking deadly clashes that have left dozens dead and hundreds injured by nighttime.
By mid-afternoon, the Egyptian presidency declared a month-long state of emergency in 14 governorates accompanied by a nightly curfew.
At least 281 people were killed and over 1,400 injured in violent incidents nationwide on Wednesday, the health ministry said.
43 policemen had been killed, said Mohamed Ibrahim, the minister of interior, in a news conference on Wednesday night.
The interior ministry decided to disperse the sit-ins because they"threatened national security, incited violence and [protesters at the sit-ins] tortured and killed people," Ibrahim said.
Ibrahim added that police forces "were surprised by protesters who started firing live ammunition" and added that "clear instructions" were given to security forces to limit use of weapons to teargas after protesters had been told to leave by loudspeakers.
After a 12-hour operation that started at 6am Wednesday, police said they had taken control of the locations of the sit-ins at Al-Nahda Square in Giza and Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square in Nasr City, where tens of thousands of Morsi supporters have been calling for weeks for his reinstatement after the army deposed him on 3 July amid mass nationwide protests.
The interior ministry also announced that it had arrested 543 people allegedly involved in clashes and riots in Cairo and several governorates.
Many journalists, including Ahram Online correspondents, reported that both the police and Morsi protesters had used live ammunition against one another.
In the wake of the outbreak of violence in Cairo, clashes erupted all over the country as Morsi supporters took to the streets attacking churches and government buildings and police precincts.
Egypt's presidency responded in mid-afternoon by declaring a state of emergency, to last for one month. Shortly after, the cabinet imposed an overnight curfew for the entire emergency period on 14 governorates. These include Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Suez and six Upper Egyptian provinces.
Later in the evening, Egypt's armed forces, which played an auxillary role in backing police actions throughout the day, issued a statement vowing to act with "utmost firmness" against anyone violating the curfew.
The state of emergency gives the police greater powers to arrest and detain citizens without a court order.
In the most prominent political reaction so far to the violent clashes, interim Vice President for Foreign Affairs Mohamed ElBaradei, who has been calling for a peaceful solution to the ongoing political crisis, submitted his resignation. His resignation, however, his is yet to be approved by the presidency.
Throughout the day, the government has defended the actions taken to disperse the sit-ins, saying it was necessary for the state to intervene.
Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawi said in a televised statement on Wednesday evening that the sit-ins posed a threat to security. Beblawi added that "Egypt cannot move forward, especially economically, in the absence of security." He then praised the police, saying they had exercised the utmost restraint.
Immediately after the morning attack on the two sit-ins, the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy, a pro-Morsi group led by the Muslim Brotherhood, called on its supporters to take to the streets "to stop the massacre" and continue to call for their demands.
Shortly after the dispersal of the sit-in at Nahda Square in Giza, a pro-Morsi protest headed to the nearby Mostafa Mahmoud Square in the Mohandiseen district and set up a new sit-in. The protesters stood their ground against police teargas and they continued to occupy the square into the early hours of Thursday morning.
Al-Haram district in Giza, not far away from Al-Nahda Square, also witnessed similar attempts. Scuffles broke out at as police fired teargas to disperse the crowds. Gunfire was also reported at in the district.
During the day, Pro-Morsi protesters also blocked several vital roads in the city including the Ring Road, a key route that connects many of Cairo's major districts.
In addition, there have been a number of attacks on police stations around the country. Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim put the number of stations attacked at 21. These precincts include two stations in Giza, and another in Helwan, south of Cairo. Other stations were also attacked in Upper Egypt's Minya, Assiut and Fayoum.
Angry mobs also attacked dozens of Christian properties including churches, schools, houses and shops, in a number of locations around Egypt including Alexandria, Suez, and several cities in Upper Egypt.
The Coptic Orthodox Church condemned the attacks, calling on the Egyptian armed forces to help the police in maintaining security.
Many governorates nationwide witnessed bloody clashes on Wednesday, including Alexandria, Beheira, Beni Suef, Ismailia, Suez, Fayoum, Assuit, Minya, and Aswan.
In a televised statement early on Wednesday, the cabinet said it would react sternly to any acts of sabotage and attacks on state institutions. The government vowed to safeguard the right to political expression as long as it remains peaceful and stays within the law.
Earlier, the cabinet's media advisor Sherif Shawki told Al-Ahram Arabic news website that police took action against the sit-ins after an "ultimatum" allegedly given by Al-Azhar to protesters, which had proposed a reconciliation initiative last week, ended.
In an audio message aired on state TV, Al-Azhar's grand imam Ahmed El-Tayyeb called for "restraint" and "prioritisation of the national interest." El-Tayyeb also condemned violence and bloodshed, stressing that Al-Azhar believes in finding a "political solution" to the crisis.
Meanwhile, the vice-chairman of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party Essam El-Erian condemned the attacks, saying pro-Morsi demonstrators will remain defiant.
"Hundreds of martyrs will fall and our determination will never be broken... So we shall live freely in a free country," he said.
Several political forces also condemned the bloodshed.
The Salafist Nour Party said the sit-ins' dispersal will further "complicate" the political situation.
The one-time ally of the Brotherhood also called on protesters to exercise restraint.
The April 6 Youth Movement blamed "the army, interior ministry and the Muslim Brotherhood" for the bloodshed.
The interior ministry has suggested a number of times over the past two weeks that a crackdown on the sit-ins was imminent.
ElBaradei had said in an interview with pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat on 6 August that that the state is working to end the situation "peacefully" and will seek "controlled" violence only as a last resort.

For the first time weeks, we've seen some clear, positive upwards momentum for the coin-wide market. Cryptocurrency's comprehensive market cap is up 23% at $326bln, up from$248bln last Friday morning. But there's one caveat: most of this growth has come in the last 36hrs.
The upwards price movement is no doubt good–we're all happy about seeing some green in the portfolio–but this short squeeze was so spontaneous and the price movement so like "recoveries" we've seen earlier in 2018's bear market that we're not drinking the bullish Kool-Aid yet. Still, shorts were at an all time high before price action shifted and some ~37% were liquidated, and the massive trading volume on Bitcoin's one hour rise is encouraging.
Nano Team Pegged with Class Action Lawsuit Over Bitgrail Loses: The Bitgrail saga continues, but this time, action is being taken against Nano's core team. Colin LeMahieu, Mica Busch, Zack Shapiro, and Troy Retzer are all defendants in a lawsuit filed in New York State court by plaintiff Alex Brola, who claims to represent the Nano investment community at large. The class action charges the plaintiffs for misleading investors into using Bitgrail exchange to purchase and store Nano, requesting that the team hard fork Nano to recover lost funds. Hours before the lawsuit surfaced, Nano announced that it had established a legal fund for victims who lost NANO to Bitgrail, with a pledge to match contributions up to $1mln.
In a Week of Suits, JP Morgan Wears its Own with Legal Troubles Over Covert Crypto-Purchasing Fees: Financial titan JPMorgan Chase & Co. are staring down the barrel of their own lawsuit. Coming out of a federal court in Manhattan, a nationwide class of defendants accuse the institution of imposing surprise fees for cryptocurrency purchases and treating these as cash advances. Among other charges, the defendants say "Chase (JPM.N) charged both extra fees and substantially higher interest rates on the cash advances than on the credit cards." In earlyFebruary, the bank began declining cryptocurrency purchases with credit cards, presumably due to the asset class' volatility.
Winklevoss Twins Win Patent Filing for Cryptographic, Cloud Computing Payment System: They couldn't get a foothold in the emerging social media sector, but the Winklevoss twins are becoming industry movers in the crypto-sphere. The Gemini exchange owners were just awarded a patent for a "system, method, and program product for processing secure transactions within a cloud computing system." This adds to an ever-expanding suite of five patents held by Winklevoss IP, LLC, the twin's legal entity. It's speculated that the duo may look to implement the technology into their Gemini exchange.
Cryptocurrency Tax Anxieties (and FUD) Loom as US Tax Day Nears: Plenty of ink has been spilled over the IRS's tax policy for cryptocurrency investing and trading.

Bittrex Reopens User Registration, Greets Newcomers with New Look, and Closes Registration Again: As part of a general site rebranding, Bittrex opened its arms to new users this week. The move comes after Bittrex halted new account creation in December, an action taken by many top exchanges to expand infrastructure. Bittrex claims to have expanded to over 50 employees in the interim, giving its layout a complete UI/UX overhaul (met with mixed reviews within the community). After a deluge of newcomers drowned the exchange in fresh accounts, the exchange had to reclose registration to manage demand.

Physical Assets on the Blockchain: Why Bother?: If crypto is all about digitizing, why use blockchain and tokens for physical assets? Well, as our guide will show you, the question kind of answers itself.
What is Pepe Cash? A Beginner's Guide to Memes on the Blockchain: Some would go to great lengths to own their very own rare Pepe–so much so, that there's a niche economy for this kind of unadulterated memery (if this seems moronic to you, go ahead and keep reading because this guide likely won't alter your opinion).
Interview: Halsey Minor on Innovating in the Blockchain World: Check out part two of our interview with VideoCoin founder Halsey Minor.

Time Draper Sees $250k Bitcoin on the Horizon: Prolific tech investor and Bitcoin bull Tim Draper has some optimistic expectations for Bitcoin's price in three years.
What is Decentraland (MANA)? A Beginner's Guide: Decentraland is an Ethereum-powered virtual reality platform. In this virtual world, you purchase plots of land that you can later traverse, build upon, and monetize. There's no limit to what you can do. It's the first digital platform that's completely owned by its users.
Bitcoin Mining: Risks and Rewards for Entrepreneurs: Mining isn't for everyone, but if you've decided to start it for yourself, there are some pros and cons you should consider before diving straight in.
For the Sake of ASIC Mining, Monero Forks–Five Times: After Bitmain announced that it would be releasing an ASIC miner for the ASIC-resistant Monero, the privacy coin decided to undergo a fork to change its scripting algorithm and keep to its roots. Some developers, though, welcome ASIC mining to Monero's consensus, and they all decided to hard fork Monero to accommodate the developments, giving us Monero 0, Monero Original, Monero Classic, MoneroC, and Monero-Classic (yeah, there's two of these, and they both have the same ticker (XMC), but hey, at least the dash distinguishes them).
Cryptocurrency Malware is Becoming a Rampant Global Issue, Report Reveals: According to the UK's National Cyber Security Center, cryptocurrency mining malware has become a ubiquitous, digital parasite for many a worldwide computer user. The trend began in 2017 as hackers developed remote mining scripts for Monero, and the report indicates that as many as 4,000 websites could be infected with the malware, including as much as 55% of global businesses.
Don't Forget to Pay Utilities: Russian Mining Operation Shut Down for Overdue Power Bills: One of the largest mining farms in Russia (if not in Europe) has been shut down by Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs. The MIA arrested two men in charge of the mining operations in the city of Orenburg for not footing a multi-million kilowatt-hour electricity bill. Apparently, the operation had been illegally sapping electricity from a local power supplier's substations.
Malta Continues to Attract Crypto Companies as OKEx Moves to the Island Nation: South Korean Exchange OKEx, which consistently flirts with the #1 and #2 24 hr trading volumes on CoinMarketCap, has joined Binance in Malta. The exchange made the move public in a press release this Thursday. Malta, which has recently passed crypto and ICO friendly legislation, is quickly earning a reputation as "Blockchain Island," as its attempt to attract blockchain-related companies to its shores the accommodating legislation is achieving the desired effect.
What Ban? Chinese Crypto Investment Fund Rears Up with $1.6bln in Capital: Still believe the age -old media stories that say China is, yet again, "banning" crypto? Tell that to the Xiong'An Global Blockchain Innovation Fund, a privately and publicly funded crypto/blockchain development fund that launched this past Monday. The jointly-funded investment arm has been made possible by the Yuhang District Government, the Future Science and Technology City Administrative Committee, and the Hangzhou Yanqi Investment Management Co., with government funds accounting for roughly 30% of the organization's capital.
Santander Unveils Cross Border Payment App Using Ripple's Protocol: The Santander Group, a global banking institution, has plans to roll out a new payment app. One Pay FX, as it's called, makes use of Ripple's network for a focus on cross-border remittances, and Santander announced that it plans to offer the app to customers in Spain, the UK, Poland, and Brazil, countries that make up nearly half of the bank's customer base. Down the road, it hopes to expand the app's services to other countries, as well.

Himawari Hotel Apartments is hosting a blood donation campaign, supported by the NBTC, Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia, The Love Club and St John's Ambulance Phnom Penh. For four hours on Saturday May 27 the hotel will open its doors to all prospective donors.
There will be a short questionnaire before blood is drawn for testing and then 350ml will be taken over a five to ten minute period. Participants will be supplied with snacks and drinks.
In Cambodia, only 34 percent of blood transfusions come from the blood bank supply while almost 70 percent come from relatives. The National Blood Transfusion Centre (NBTC) (Blood Bank Cambodia) aims to change that by creating a well-stocked blood bank, able to supply the Kingdom's transfusion needs.
Blood donation is a vital resource in Cambodia. All blood types are welcome and needed.
Himawari Hotel Apartments, Function rooms 1 & 2, May 27, 8 am-12 noon.

A political video may seem a little out of place on a Christian Blog, but the word truth is in the Bible 224 times. The scriptures are actually described as the word of Truth. Truth is very important to God! Truth is the foundation of our lives, if we have lies, or even twisted truths as our foundation, the ground we walk on is quite shaky and will possibly collapse.
It is truth that frees us, one that looms larger than all the lies presently surrounding us.
When the media gets things wrong it can wreck our day or even our life.
Have you ever done to an outdoor event, only to have it rain? It is quite irritating, especially if you checked your weather report beforehand, and they assured you that it was going to be a clear day. If this has ever happened to you, you know how a faulty news report can ruin your day!
One example of media lying almost threw an election. On September 8, 2004, CBS aired an episode of 60 Minutes that featured then trusted news Journalist Dan Rather and documents that made it look like George W Bush used his political connections avoid his duty to the Texas Air National Guard. Many Republicans would have not gone to the voting booth if those documents were true. It was soon discovered that they were lies, that they were typed up on a computer in a font that did not exist when the alleged documents were printed, instead of a typewriter like they would have been if they were typed during the appropriate time period. Luckily this lie was caught in time to save the election! But if just this one lie had escaped notice, the next four years would have gone in a completely different direction.
My objective in writing this isn't to reveal all of the news mistakes and lies, of which there have been many. I want to make people aware that the news isn't scripture, we should be on alert when we watch or listen to news media. Even if it is your most trusted news source. Even if they were currently all honest individuals reporting, they are also human and prone to error. You or the people around you may end up paying a cost for their mistakes.
Wisdom from above will cause us to be gentle and easy to be intreated. We are going to consider these two together because they seem to work hand in hand to a certain extent. One Bible translation refers to these as being gentle and reasonable, which seems like a good choice of words to use.
A fetus isn't some non-descript thing that can be killed at will. Fetus is a stage of life for a mammal, in the case of human fetuses it is recognizable as a human. Has DNA different than the DNA of his or her mother, and father, the exact DNA that he or she will have 50 years in the future.
They are different than already born humans in some ways.
If you can't contribute, please keep her in prayer!
I don't want to sound critical, and I'm not bitter or angry. But I am grieved. And burdened. So I will raise my voice like a trumpet and say it plainly and clearly: The relative silence of our pulpits has helped plunged us into our current moral morass. Do we have the courage and integrity to face this?

Q: NodeJS express sends wrong headers I have a server which alters response headers depending on the request headers and finally sends a file to the client. As in,
app.get('/*', (req, res) => {
  headers = {};
  if ("some_key" in req.headers) {
    headers["another_key"] = "some_value";
  }
  res.sendFile("public/some_index.html", {root: __dirname, "headers": headers});
});

If "some_key" is not in the request headers, then the response headers should not have "another_key" . However, the server returns the previous "another_key" value even if "some_key" is not present in the request headers this time.
I tried turning off the etag mechanism, using res.set to set the headers before sending the file as well as unsetting the response headers. In all cases, "another_key" was in the response even though it was not requested. How do I get rid of it?

A: It seems the issue was the browser caching the response headers since the file is not updated (HTTP 304). (Although I think this should not be the case.)
As a solution, I added a dynamic value to the returned web page, e.g., page load count. This way, the cache is invalidated, and actual headers -- as intended by the server, are returned.

A: Try prepending const to  headers = {}, like this:
app.get('/*', (req, res) => {
  const headers = {};
  if ("some_key" in req.headers) {
    headers["another_key"] = "some_value";
  }
  res.sendFile("public/some_index.html", {root: __dirname, "headers": headers});
});

When you define a variable just like variable = "some_value" you are defining a global scope variable. So the next time your middleware is called it would be already defined and no matter if the code gets into the if block, headers will contain the keys assigned in the previous call.
