E-Commerce on Demand: Crypto-Based Site With 50,000 Products Offers Delivery in Two Hours
Amazon, app, Blockchain, Crypto News, Cryptocurrencies, Decentralized Marketplace, Shopping
A decentralized marketplace offering e-commerce on demand has launched with 50,000 items, enabling shoppers to have products delivered in less than two hours.
A decentralized platform offering "e-commerce on demand" is launching, and says it has the ambition of enabling shoppers to have online orders delivered in less than two hours — with food shopping arriving at their door in 30 minutes.
Buying.com says its service will initially be available across six zip codes in New Jersey, providing customers with a choice of more than 50,000 items. A center in the town of Mahwah is going to monitor the platform's progress, and the startup has bold ambitions to roll out across the state and nationwide in the months that follow.
Customers can make their orders through the Buying.com website, and the company says that apps for Android and iOS are in the process of being approved by the app stores. Two other apps have also been completely developed for drivers, enabling them to fulfill orders quickly and with precision.
Buying.com says the launch of e-commerce on demand comes nine months ahead of schedule, and it describes the service as the company's "holy grail." Over time, it aspires to become a household name, a crypto alternative to the online behemoths offering same-day deliveries.
Benefiting businesses
Buying.com says it wants to enable businesses at all stages of the e-commerce supply chain — retailers, distributors and suppliers among them — to pool their orders together so they can satisfy minimum order quantities and enjoy greater discounts on a product's price. Not only does this help keep profit margins healthy, but it also enables businesses to offer compelling discounts to shoppers — better insulating them against online giants.
From the consumer's perspective, Buying.com hopes that its app will enable the public to access items "from a much wider range of suppliers than is currently available in the centralized e-commerce market," and access better bargains than they can now.
The company is hoping to "develop the world's first vertically integrated blockchain platform," and wants to drive engagement from shoppers by offering a limited number of "high-quality discounts and promotions" on a daily basis. These deals are also going to be targeted toward users based on their interests and previous purchases and will be time-limited to help boost sales from consumers eager to snap up a bargain.
Through its platform, "social sharing" will be incentivized, meaning the number of deals made available on social networks will increase as Buying.com gains exposure.
Buying.com added: "We will ultimately level the playing field for existing e-commerce stores, allowing them to compete with the likes of Amazon, Walmart and other major retailers. The app serves both as a business-to-business and business-to-consumer platform, harnessing the power of the masses to offer direct product pricing on millions of goods."

Localizing shopping again
Localization is a big emphasis for Buying.com, and the platform says that consumers will be more willing to spend their hard-earned cash with small businesses in their area if they can offer the same pricing and convenience as online behemoths.
To enable hyperlocal deliveries to take place within two hours, the company is doing away with the notion of expensive, centralized warehouses that stymy the flow of products and increase costs. This would be achieved by paying the owners of empty spaces — such as garages and storefronts — to become "distribution nodes," creating a dependable network where small businesses can store their stock and drop it off to shoppers quickly.
The platform also hopes to tackle some of the other issues that have been blighting the industry, such as the chargebacks that cost retailers billions. Its Prime-Protect technology gives merchants access to an escrow service, in which funds are released when a customer receives their item and is happy with their purchase.
A sale of BUY tokens is currently taking place. As well as being used for making purchases and paying micro-distribution centers and deliverers, these tokens will serve as a reward mechanism for shoppers.
Over time, Buying.com plans to integrate two million products into its platform.

Decentralized Exchanges Aren't Living Up to Their Name – And Data Proves It
0x, Bancor, Coinbase, Crypto News, Decentralized Exchanges, Decentralized Marketplace, Ethereum, Exchanges, Featured, Features, Markets
Some say a "decentralized exchange" is an oxymoron. Perhaps not, but for now it's not much more than an aspiration.
Over the past year, dozens of cryptocurrency trading platforms have marketed themselves as decentralized exchanges. While models vary, the term implies they allow users to trade on a peer-to-peer basis, and more importantly, without using a platform operated by a single entity.
The main selling point is that unlike today's better-known crypto trading platforms (think Coinbase, Kraken or Binance), a decentralized exchange shouldn't require traders to store their money with a third party that can be hacked. Yet while "DEX" has been a hot buzzword, it's been unclear how decentralized they actually are.
Early indications, however, suggest they're not living up to their name yet.
According to data collected exclusively for CoinDesk from July 2 to July 12 by the ethereum analytics firm Alethio, as well as interviews with market participants, what decentralized exchange models actually offer is a spectrum of technologies with varying degrees of centralization.
Some attempt to decentralize a traditional exchange company, such as the Huobi Chain Project announced in June, while others seek to build a community with stakeholders around a peer-to-peer model, like 0x.
"Decentralized exchanges are making headway toward the re-elimination of central parties in that [crypto trading] system," said Wall Street veteran Jill Carlson.
But they still have quite a ways to go.
Alethio data analyzing DEXs from July 2-12.
Note: RadarRelay is a 0x relayer.
For example, Bancor was itself the only market maker on its decentralized platform, where it facilitated roughly 9,691 token swaps between 1,147 traders over the two-week period, Alethio found.
That lack of diversity compounds a problem with the "decentralized liquidity network," highlighted by the steps Bancor took to address a recent $13.5 million hack. Specifically, Bancor's freezing of funds, an action allowed by a mechanism in its code, prompted criticism that the platform was, for all intents and purposes, no different than its centralized predecessors.
"You're not a 'decentralized exchange' if you're taking away other people's tokens whenever you want," tweeted developer Udi Wertheimer.
Decentralized how?
One problem with talking about decentralization in this context is that it can be measured in different ways. An exchange platform might be highly centralized in one dimension but quite decentralized in others.
Take, for example, 0x. During the two weeks tracked by Alethio this open-source protocol that relies on independent relayers for token trading, had 914 market makers facilitating 9,017 trades by 234 traders – already head and shoulders above Bancor in the diversity-of-participants department.
However, those trades are funneled through a much smaller number (17) of "relayer startups." Each relayer has its own business model, and the majority of them use their own proprietary software built on top of 0X, rather than purely open-source code that anyone can inspect.
And while 0x isn't responsible for compliance with regulations, its relayers are. So it's hard to call this type of DEX leaderless.
One of those relayers, Paradex, was acquired in May by Coinbase, a company that many in crypto would call the quintessential centralized exchange.
To be fair, though, it could be argued that the 0X ecosystem is arguably more decentralized than other exchanges in the way that counts the most.
"It's different from a centralized exchange because these relayers are not holding user funds at all. They are completely non-custodial," Amir Bandeali, CTO of 0x, told CoinDesk. "We have seen a lot of relayers starting to make open source market-making tools."
For Carlson, who works as a consultant to 0x, the term "decentralized" should primarily apply to non-custodial trading platforms. As such, she believes hacks such as the Bancor theft point to the dangers of centralized custodians, telling CoinDesk:
"When we talk about decentralized exchanges, the primary threat that people are concerned about today is custody."
Stepping back, it's important to remember that the DEX market is in its infancy, and so the volume is still pretty low.
Indeed, among the DEX platforms analyzed by Alethio, the most popular was IDEX, an exchange developed by the fintech firm Aurora, which facilitated 69,339 swaps between 12,400 traders during the two-week period.
Compared to centralized Bitfinex, which facilitated roughly 92,024 trades in just two days, from July 9 and 10, according to CoinDesk's analysis of its trade history, IDEX's volume is a tiny drop in the niche bucket.
Marshall Swatt, founder of the institutional crypto asset exchange Swatt Exchange, argued that decentralized exchanges are merely "a fancy form" of over-the-counter (OTC) trading that won't be able to scale. He told CoinDesk:
"I just think the lack of fiat on-ramps, the lack of governance, and the lack of compliance, are going to relegate decentralized exchanges to the margins."
Swatt, who previously co-founded the New York bitcoin exchange Coinsetter then sold it to Kraken in 2016, warned against underestimating the difficulty of managing compliance, security, and customer support, business departments that may not fit bitcoin's grassroots model.
"You'll never have the level of liquidity because it will never attract the algorithmic traders," he said.
Indeed, most DEX models only allow users to swap one cryptocurrency for another, which keeps newcomers to crypto, whether they be institutional investors or first-time buyers, at bay.
Carlson agreed it's hard to imagine decentralized order books, market makers, or know-your-customer identity checks. These are all core pillars of most popular exchanges.
However, in her view, it's an oversimplification to say DEX is merely glorified OTC.
"The difference here, at least today, lies at the settlement level, not at the execution level," Carlson said, speaking to how some DEXs allow P2P settlement without third party oversight or custody. "What you end up with is an experience that is disintermediated."
DEX fever
Indeed, none of the shortcomings of current decentralized exchanges have quelled the DEX fervor sweeping the industry.
Speaking to the Paradex acquisition, Scalar Capital co-founder Linda Xie, a Coinbase alum turned hedge fund manager and 0X advisor, told CoinDesk demand for non-custodial P2P platforms could inspire centralized incumbents to offer DEX options as well.
Indeed, Bloomberg reported the long-established exchange Binance wants to "decentralize" itself. So does the legacy platform provider Huobi, which announced in June it's offering roughly $166 million to a fund for contributors to the upcoming Huobi Chain Project, which aims to establish a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and eventually incorporate parts of Huobi's exchange.
"We're not 100 percent sure if a corporation can be 100 percent autonomous," Gordon Chen, Huobi Chain Project's executive leader, told Coindesk. "We're not sure if it can be 100 percent decentralized either. But we believe there can be some kind of balance in between."
Although granting businesses more sway than users on Huobi's voter-driven exchange HADAX sparked backlash, a few hundred people already applied to build the project's public blockchain.
Along those same lines, Bancor co-founder Eyal Hertzog tweeted that his project is also on a "pathway to decentralization."
Alethio's data suggests that so far platforms with more straightforward P2P models have achieved more diversity of participants, even if they have so far gained less traction. For example, during this two-week period in July the startup AirSwap, which operates almost like a Craigslist for ethereum tokens, facilitated 695 swaps between 216 traders with the help of 60 unique market makers.
Such potential is why Xie remains optimistic about the prospect of DEXs, saying: "This is still just the start."
Agreeing with Xie's point, Carlson said the wide range of models offer a promising starting point for the further decentralization of trading platforms, concluding:
"All aspects of the spectrum have an important role to play."

Digital Marketplace Startup Completes $15 Million Token Sale
Business News, Crypto News, Decentralized Marketplace, Digital Marketplace, ICOs, Ink Protocol, Listia, News, Use Cases & Verticals
A startup aiming to build a decentralized marketplace has raised $15 million in an initial coin offering.
Listia, which is planning to launch its decentralized marketplace next month, drew funding from more than 4,000 people during the sale. Founded in 2009, the startup already operates a more traditional online market but is moving develop new services by utilizing the technology.
The company said that the sale ended in about 12 minutes after it hit the hard-cap of $15 million. Contributors to the sale include ConsenSys Ventures and Tetras Capital, according to CEO Gee Chuang.
The company also announced that it will launch its Ink Protocol on its marketplace on Feb. 28. On the same day, the site's users will receive Listia's native XNK tokens, which they can use to purchase or sell goods listed on the company's website. Chuang said the launch will see up to 10 million users receiving XNK tokens.
The Ink Protocol aims to decentralize marketplaces by enabling users to establish their own credibility without fear of having their profile taken down by the website they are selling goods on.
Chuang explained:
"[The] Ink Protocol decentralizes marketplaces by allowing buyers and sellers to control their own reputation, choose any marketplace platform they prefer using, and safely pay for goods and services without relying on any central service provider."
Listia wants to leverage the protocol as a way to allow users to list the same item on multiple marketplaces, with each listing changing as necessary if the item is bought – without requiring the seller to manually edit the listing's information, as previously reported by CoinDesk.

Retirement is a major life transition that requires changes to your income and lifestyle. Here are the final preparations you should be making if you plan to retire in 2015.
Decide when to sign up for Social Security. When you sign up for Social Security drastically affects how much you will receive each month. Most baby boomers are eligible to receive full benefits at age 66. If you sign up before age 66, your monthly payments are reduced, and if you delay claiming up until age 70, your payments increase. "You want to consider the penalty for taking it early and the benefit of delaying it beyond full retirement age," says Christopher Rhim, a certified financial planner for Green View Advisors in Norwich, Vermont.

BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Words Project, backed by the National Endowment for the Humanities, has distributed state of the art digital recording sets to schools and the Brooks Memorial Library as part of its first year of community research and audio-gathering for the 'Brattleboro Words Trail' — self-guided digital and physical walking, biking and driving audio tours of important sites in our area's storied past.
Equipment donations were made possible by Brattleboro Words Project Sponsor Guilford Sound, whose founder and chief engineer, Dave Syder, designed the sets. Snyder also worked with local builder Dave Ross to customize a sound-insulated 'Story Booth' at Brooks Memorial Library for the use of community Research Leaders and the public at large who can check out equipment or use it in the booth. A step-by-step equipment user guide is also available at the library and on the Project website.
Nine area schools, including the Guilford School, Brattleboro Area Middle School, the Chesterfield School in New Hampshire, representing 14 classrooms, have received or are in the process of receiving a digital audio recording set. Sets are used to record the connections, the stories and writings students find as they research particular places in our community. Citizen Research Leaders can use the library equipment and Story Booth to create audio content around sites pegged to walking, biking and driving maps. All participants are building 21st-century skills as they engage the history of places we share.
"Brooks Memorial Library is pleased to make this incredible resource available to patrons," Brooks Library Director Starr LaTronica said. "The Words Project brings research, books and history together with technology in an engaging way, especially for patrons seeking to develop their artistic, academic and literary endeavors. This is a wonderful opportunity for people to expand their technological literacy."
"People will be able to download maps from our website and listen to audio in dozens of different places," said Project Technical Director Reg Martell. He works with Brattleboro Area Middle School teacher Joe Rivers, a pioneer in using podcasting with social studies students who have made 175 podcasts chronicling Brattleboro area history for the Brattleboro Historical Society website. The Project helps spread this successful learning and community mapping skills to other schools. The Project also gathers and preserves imagery from primary sources to enliven the Brattleboro Words Trail website — the digitization of our humanities legacy.
"Audio is an important tool to explore spatial storytelling and cultivate a sense of place, with many different voices and approaches contributing to a multilayered map of the Brattleboro area" William Edelglass, Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at Marlboro College and the Project's Principal Scholar, said. The equipment is also being used by two Project-inspired, podcast-making classes at Marlboro College.
The research and mapping has a strong social corollary. "The whole Project entails building new relationships around a shared vision for a creative product (the Brattleboro Words Trail) that will capture and thematically weave together some special qualities about our home," Project Director Lissa Weinmann said, adding that the trails begin in Brattleboro as the hub but extend beyond in concentric circles to include an incredible array of towns, personalities and 'firsts' explored in the mapping. "We need many peoples' talents and input to get there," Weinmann said, reminding people to contact brattleborowords@gmail.com if they would like to help as a Research Leader, sponsor, volunteer or intern. Part-time paid positions are also available.
The Peoples, Places and History of Words in Brattleboro Vermont (Brattleboro Words Project) is a multi-year collaboration of the Brattleboro Historical Society, Brattleboro Literary Festival, Brooks Memorial Library, Write Action, and Marlboro College. Backed by local support and a dollar-for-dollar National Endowment for the Humanities' 'Creating Humanities Communities' matching grant, the Project is building the Brattleboro Words Trail, an audio mapping of our storied past that will lead listeners on walking, biking, and driving tours beginning in Brattleboro. The Project also includes work toward a book on Brattleboro's print and publishing history, monthly public Roundtable Discussions, schools/teacher/community support and programming, as well as exhibitions and other events.

Ever since we sprung ahead with daylight savings, I've been a little off my game. So I'm looking forward to the long weekend that's headed our way soon so I can re-calibrate with rest and some soul-feeding food, yoga, and people. Long weekends are prime time for sleeping in, having a great workout, brunching, coffeeing, hanging with your peeps, and doing the things you love. I'll be making this dutch baby, topped with sweet roasted strawberries and bananas, and hanging with the people who make me laugh and give me light. I hope you will be, too.

In the UK, electricity transmission alone leads to an 8% loss of the total electricity production for the country, costing £9.5 billion per year and predicted to rise. Dr. Orbaek White's goal is to develop ultra conductive electricity cables made from carbon nanotubes (CNTs); a material that is hundreds to thousands of times more conductive than copper wires. The vision is to augment the current materials with more efficient conducting materials (CNTs), and investigate ways to route electricity more effectively (smart grid).
Dr. Orbaek White is a Senior Lecturer at Swansea University (UK) in the College of Engineering. His work involves the synthesis of carbon nanomaterials for use as power distribution materials. He completed his PhD at Rice University on the catalytic growth of single walled carbon nanotubes under the guidance of Prof. Andrew Barron. He spent several years working with the Richard E. Smalley Institute conducting research on carbon nanotechnology, with the objective to create the Armchair Quantum Wire. He carried out research and managed several projects related to the application, separation, characterisation, wet chemistry, and synthesis of single walled CNTs, and multi walled CNTs.
He also has a focus on education and has created class materials at Rice University for the teaching of undergraduate chemistry students by using plasmonic silver nanoparticles. He then took a post-doc position at MIT in the Department of Mechanical Engineering with Professor A. John Hart, where he developed methods to produce ultra long SWNTs (UL-SWNTs) of inch length scale. At MIT he taught Introduction to Mechanics Course 8.012 for one semester in the Department of Physics. He has also co-authored the textbook Inorganic Chemistry for Dummies that is widely distributed by international publishing house Wiley & Sons.
He was awarded the Younger Chemist of the Year award (2013) from the American Chemical Society, greater Houston section. Since 2010, Dr. Orbaek White has published 15 journal publications, and 18 conference abstracts/papers/posters, has 2 patents issued in the US related to nanotechnology applications, wrote a textbook on inorganic chemistry, and has presented invited seminar talks both in the U.S. and Ireland. Degrees: Ph.D. Chemistry, Rice University, 2013. M.A. Chemistry, Rice University, 2010, B.Sc. Experimental Physics, National University of Ireland Galway, 2003.


loan program. Find out why!
We all know that buying a home is one of the largest (if not the largest) purchase you may ever make. The costs can add up quickly and that is why Mortgage Warehouse offers the No Closing Costs loan option. In most situations, our No Closing Cost loan will provide even more savings than a loan with a lower interest rate since the average homeowner will move or refinance within the first 5 years.
How do you know if this type of loan is right for you?
Will the down payment deplete your savings?
Do you plan to stay in your home for less than five years?
Will your new loan have mortgage insurance (PMI)? If so, the No Closing Cost loan is the way to go since you will likely want to refinance to remove PMI.
Do you plan on paying off or refinancing your mortgage within 5 years?
On a purchase transaction, do you plan on requesting the seller to pay closing costs? This can be a sticking point for some sellers so let Mortgage Warehouse give you a credit to cover the closing costs.
We've got to give you credit!
Mortgage Warehouse's No Closing Cost Loan can result in more cash available for a larger down payment, more equity in your new home, more cash in your savings account after closing and ultimately lowering the overall cost of obtaining a home loan. Seems like a no-brainer, right? We know that time is money and we don't want to waste your time negotiating closing costs. We've got you covered!
Give one of our licensed loan originators a call today to find out if your scenario qualifies for the No Closing Cost Loan program.

Willie Moore Jr.'s Version Of A 5 Star Chick
In a dramatic illustration of democracy in action, Barack Obama on Tuesday told the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that he would love to remain president for a third term, but is unfortunately barred by the U.S. Constitution, according to CNN.
The president gently urged the Ethiopian government towards democracy after a long era of rule by monarchy and autocracy, twice calling the government of Ethiopia "democratically elected."
From CNN:
"I think if I ran again I could win. But I can't!" Obama said.
Obama's quip came during a speech to the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the first address to the group by a U.S. president.
The loudest applause line came when Obama said he didn't understand the motivation behind remaining in power through force — even when leaders have "got a lot of money."
Two months ago, an election handed every seat in Parliament to the governing party and its allies, according to The New York Times. Human rights groups wanted Obama to denounce what they called "a sham election."
He is the first sitting U.S. president to visit Ethiopia, a fast-growing economy, which was once defined by poverty and famine.
Although human rights groups had called on Mr. Obama to use his visit to press for change, the president took a mild tone in his public remarks. He gently urged the Ethiopian government to make room for opposition, while stressing his respect for the country and its challenges in emerging from a long era of monarchy and autocracy.
"We are very mindful of Ethiopia's history, the hardships that this country has gone through," Mr. Obama said at a joint news conference with Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn. "It has been relatively recently in which the Constitution that was formed, and elections put forward a democratically elected government." He added that "there is still more work to do, and I think the prime minister is the first to acknowledge that there is more work to do."
The elections in May were condemned by human rights groups as a sham. The government made it hard for opposition candidates to register, raise money and mobilize supporters, according to watchdog groups. Peaceful protesters were denied permits, harassed and in some cases arrested. News organizations were shut down and reporters harassed, threatened or arrested.
Between addressing democracy in Ethiopia and stating that he would win a third election in the U.S., it looks like Obama isn't pulling any punches in his last days in office. What do you think? Sound off below…

Healthy housing market shows Ketchikan's resilience
Posted by Emma Atkinson | Jul 13, 2017
https://www.krbd.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/13KetchikanHousing.mp3
Like many industries in the city, the story of Ketchikan's housing market is closely tied to the shutdown of Ketchikan Pulp Company in 1997.
Gateway City Realty broker Bill Bolling said the local market is quite healthy now. He said the robust local economy is in part due to the closing of the mill.
"If there was any silver lining in the loss of our mill, it was the diversification of our economy," he said.
Ketchikan's economy suffered in the years following the shuttering of the mill. The Great Recession of the late aughts affected Ketchikan just like it did the rest of the country. But the city bounced back, and so did the housing market.
"And then somewhere around 2012, 2013, things seemed to change for us, so far as activity and the number of sales, and prices started rising again," Bolling said.
Bolling said real estate companies have seen Ketchikan become more of a seller's market in recent years.
"There's not a lot of product out there for people to look at or buy," he said. "And so, it's a macro-economic love affair. There's a lot of demand and not as much supply."
Mary Wanzer, a broker for Coastal Real Estate Group, agreed.
"We're seeing homes going on the market and selling within two or three days and getting multiple offers," she said.
The average price of a single-family home in Ketchikan in 2016 was about $320,000. This is more than the national average price, which in June 2016 sat just above $290,000. Here's Wanzer again.
"It stayed the same for quite awhile, but I'd say definitely in the last three years, the average home price has increased," she said. "Probably five to 10 percent in the last year would be my guess, without actually looking at all the data."
She said companies are seeing more people coming to Ketchikan and building new houses.
"What we are seeing are [sic] more new construction," Wanzer said. "So we're seeing build-outs in areas like Emerald Forest, Ravenwood, White Rock. So we're getting new construction, so more of a housing development that we haven't seen in the past."
Bolling attributes the market's strength to the people of Ketchikan.
"Ketchikan has really been, kinda, this little engine that could," he said. "And people here are tough. I mean, I think I've seen more businesses opened up since the mill shut down in Ketchikan than I remember ever opening up before. So, I think people have a good spirit here, and they have a can-do attitude, and they're willing to put their money where their mouth is."
Wanzer added that people of all kinds come to live in Ketchikan – people with the Coast Guard, the Forest Service and the hospital, especially. And they all need a place to live.

La datation est l'attribution d'une date. Ce terme peut donc s'appliquer à un événement ou à un objet : document, fossile, couche géologique ou encore niveau archéologique. Il désigne globalement la démarche, scientifique ou non, qui consiste à déterminer le temps absolu de cet événement ou de cet objet, et par voie de conséquence l'intervalle de temps relatif séparant l'élément daté du temps du chercheur ou plus généralement du locuteur.

On parle de « datation absolue » lorsque la datation mise en œuvre aboutit à un résultat chiffré exprimé en unité de temps (années, secondes, etc.). Par opposition, l'expression « datation relative » désigne la démarche qui consiste à déterminer l'ordre chronologique d'événements ou d'objets du passé, sans connaître leurs âges réels. Une confusion est parfois faite entre les deux, lorsque dans le cadre d'une datation relative, la chronologie s'étend jusqu'au présent — ainsi, les « âges » des périodes définies par datation relative en stratigraphie sont souvent pris pour argent comptant, bien qu'ils n'aient de sens que comme des intervalles de temps circonscrits définis par rapport à tous les autres.

Toute datation est faite en référence à un point de repère temporel et devrait supposer sa définition ou son expression.

Datation par les sources écrites

Elle concerne différentes époques historiques. Avant le milieu du , les sources écrites (textes, inscriptions, etc.) constituaient les principaux éléments de datation à la disposition des historiens pour effectuer la datation des événements historiques, avec les risques d'imprécisions et d'erreur que cela comporte.

Datation relative

Avant le développement des méthodes de datation absolues, l'âge des événements préhistoriques (ou des événements historiques pour lesquels aucune source écrite n'était disponible) ne pouvait être établi que de manière relative : tel événement est plus ancien ou plus récent que tel autre.

La datation relative se base essentiellement sur les principes fondamentaux de la méthode stratigraphique, développée depuis le , à savoir le principe de continuité (une même couche a le même âge sur toute son étendue) et le principe de superposition (une couche est plus récente que celle qu'elle recouvre). La biochronologie, basée sur l'étude du contenu paléontologique des couches géologiques, était une source importante d'informations pour établir l'âge relatif de certains terrains.

Dans le domaine biologique, les radiations évolutives sont datées par des mesures de différenciation génétiques.

Datation absolue

La datation absolue est souvent restreinte à la radiochronologie, mais il existe d'autres méthodes qualifiables d'absolues telles que la dendrochronologie (pour les périodes relativement récentes) ou l'archéomagnétisme ; la précision et le panel de durées couverts par les méthodes isotopiques sont à ce jour sans équivalents.

Au milieu du , la découverte de la méthode de datation par le carbone 14 par Willard Frank Libby a révolutionné l'archéologie. Pour la première fois, en déterminant la quantité de carbone radioactif disparue depuis leur mort, il est possible de donner une estimation chiffrée de l'âge de matériaux organiques. Cependant, l'idée de la datation absolue est plus ancienne : les premiers découvreurs de la radioactivité, parmi lesquels Pierre et Marie Curie et Ernest Rutherford, avaient déjà eu l'idée d'utiliser le « chronomètre radioactif » pour calculer des âges géologiques. Le réel développement de cette technique s'est fait en même temps que les appareillages de comptage et de détection de l'activité radioactive sont apparus et se sont perfectionnés.

La méthode absolue, très diverse dans ses techniques, va surtout ouvrir la voie à d'autres découvertes après les premiers pas de Libby. Les progrès sont également basés sur des phénomènes physiques, qui élargiront considérablement le champ des matériaux (silex chauffé, cendre volcanique, émail dentaire, etc.) et des événements datables. Ces méthodes ont eu un impact très important dans de nombreux champs disciplinaires où l'âge est un élément primordial de la connaissance scientifique (archéologie, paléontologie, géologie, etc.).

Repère temporel
Différents repères temporels sont ou ont été utilisés comme temps t0, point de départ d'une datation, donnant lieu à différentes expressions :
 celui du calendrier holocène (H.E.) ;
 l'Anno Mundi (A.M.), dans différentes déclinaisons (juive, franc-maçonne...) ;
 le repère (principal) du calendrier chinois traditionnel est -2697 (naissance de l'Empereur Jaune) ;
 l'Ab urbe condita (A.U.C.) : de la fondation de Rome (-753) ;
 l'Anno Domini, A.D., en latin puis en anglais : année de la naissance (théorique) du Christ, c'est aujourd'hui la référence implicite (et plus ou moins universelle) des dates postérieures ; elle est la référence explicite des notations avant Jésus-Christ (av. J.-C. ; en anglais Before Christ, B.C.) et après Jésus-Christ (ap(r). J.-C.) ;
 l'Avant l'ère commune (A.E.C. ; en anglais Before Common Era, B.C.E.) et de l'ère commune (E.C. ; Common Era, C.E.) : de même signification, mais religieusement neutre ;
 de même signification encore, le signe – [moins] est la représentation internationale suggérée par la norme ISO 8601 pour les années antérieures à lère commune. Le signe +, rarement utilisé, devrait alors indiquer lère commune ;
 l'année de l'Hégire (A.H. ;  en latin) (622) ;
 le calendrier républicain fixait le début de « l'ère des Français » au  ;
 le « présent » fixé arbitrairement au  (A.P. ou AP : avant le présent, en anglais B.P. ou BP : ) est utilisé par diverses sciences comme la géologie. Contrairement à toutes les notations précédentes, seules les dates antérieures sont usitées ;
 en géologie, « l'actuel » est parfois utilisé en référence à « l'époque contemporaine ». Ce repère est mobile dans le temps, mais à l'échelle géologique, son incertitude est sans conséquence.
Les Anglo-saxons utilisent également :
  (A.D.A.) ;
 years ago (ya).
Les calendriers mésoaméricains sont cycliques et n'utilisent donc pas de repère temporel absolu (voir : Calendrier maya). Il en va de même du calendrier hindou, qui découpe le temps en quatre ères différentes.

Seuls certains systèmes de datation spécifiques utilisent une année zéro, absente de l'usage courant et de celui des historiens.

The five books from Genesis to Deuteronomy form the first section of the Hebrew Bible known as the Torah. Unfortunately, the Hebrew term torah is often misleadingly translated into English as "law." Torah is better understood as meaning "instruction." As instruction, the books of Genesis to Deuteronomy provide an essential foundation for understanding all of Scripture. As the opening stages in the grand story of divine redemption, these books set the scene and give direction to all that follows.
The diverse but coherent contents of Genesis to Deuteronomy are linked in a rich variety of ways to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The four Gospels all associate Jesus' sacrificial death with Passover, and Paul speaks of Jesus as our Passover sacrifice (1 Cor. 5:7). The author of Hebrews draws heavily from Genesis–Deuteronomy, seeing Jesus, among other things, as a royal priest after the order of Melchizedek (Heb. 5:6–7:17; see Gen. 14:18; Ps. 110:4). Although these connections and others enrich our appreciation of Jesus, this essay will concentrate on another aspect: the royal dimension. This picks up on the all-important affirmation that Jesus is the Messiah.
In the New Testament, Jesus is frequently called either "Jesus Christ" or "Christ Jesus." Whereas Jesus is a personal name, the word Christ is a title, meaning "Anointed One." Christos is the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew term mashiach, from which we derive the English title "Messiah." When the New Testament writers speak of Jesus as "the Anointed One," they see Him as a king. More than this, they see Him as the legitimate heir to the Davidic throne. For this reason, Matthew's gospel in particular emphasizes how Jesus is the son of David.
The link between Jesus and the Davidic dynasty lies at the heart of the biblical understanding of Jesus' messiahship. While this is commonly acknowledged, it is not always appreciated that the importance of David's dynasty finds its roots in the book of Genesis. What begins in Genesis leads to David, and from David to the Christ. For this reason, Matthew starts his royal genealogy of Jesus with Abraham and not David.
To understand how Genesis anticipates the importance of the Davidic dynasty, we need to observe that the whole book is structured around a unique family line. Through a careful use of genealogies, Genesis traces a remarkable lineage that begins with Adam and ends with the twelve sons of Jacob. Important members of this family line are Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah, all of whom play a significant role in the outworking of God's purposes. While other siblings are occasionally introduced into the story, they are merely branches in the family tree. The main trunk is what matters, and it eventually leads us beyond Genesis to David and then to Jesus Christ.
it anticipates the establishment of a royal dynasty; through this family line will come a unique king who will restore the broken relationship between God and humanity.
A distinctive feature of Genesis is the divine provision of children to the barren matriarchs Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel in order to preserve thefamily lineage. While much is made of this in the case of Abraham and Sarah, the same theme is repeated first with Rebekah and then Rachel. Without God's intervention, the special family line would not exist.
Another unusual feature of Genesis is the number of occasions a younger brother is promoted to the status of firstborn. While this reversal is especially obvious in the case of Esau and Jacob, it also occurs with others: Isaac and Ishmael; Joseph and Reuben; Perez and Zerah; Ephraim and Manasseh. With the non-identical twins Esau and Jacob, the younger twin, Jacob, wants more than anything else the privileges associated with being the firstborn, whereas his older brother, Esau, is willing to sell his birthright for a bowl of stew. Jacob appreciates the importance of the family line. Negative factors account for every case where the son born first is denied firstborn status. This explains why Genesis includes episodes that might otherwise seem unnecessary.
Although it is not immediately obvious, the unique family line in Genesis is closely aligned with royal expectations. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Joseph story where his dreams are interpreted by his brothers as signifying kingship: "Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?" (Gen. 37:8). By itself, this might not seem significant, but Joseph's dreams come in the light of a family tradition that has regal expectations running through it. Abraham, who rubbed shoulders with kings (Pharaoh, Melchizedek, Abimelech), was promised by God that kings would come from him (Gen. 17:6). When Isaac blesses Jacob, his words resound with royal hopes: "Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you" (27:29). Later, Jacob blesses Judah using royal language: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples" (49:10).
Genesis undoubtedly has a special interest in a unique family line through which God will later establish the Davidic dynasty, leading to Jesus Christ. This raises the question: Why is the existence of a royal line so important to God's plans? Two related answers may shed light on this question.
First, when God responds to the willful disobedience of Adam and Eve, He states that the offspring of the woman shall overcome the cunning Serpent. Whatever we may make of this talking snake, it is clearly God's archenemy. As such, it persuades Eve and Adam to betray God. The full tragedy of Adam and Eve's actions becomes apparent when we realize that God has delegated to them responsibility for ruling over the earth. Given royal authority, their readiness to trust the Serpent is an act of gross betrayal. By obeying a creature rather than the Creator, they make the Serpent ruler of this world, becoming themselves his subjects. In response, God not only punishes the human couple by removing their royal and priestly status, but, in an act of profound grace, promises that the Serpent will eventually be overcome by the offspring of the woman (3:15). After this, the identity of the woman's offspring is intimately linked to the special family line at the heart of Genesis. Having led astray the divinely appointed royal couple, Genesis fittingly anticipates that the Serpent (elsewhere identified as Satan or the Devil) will be overthrown by a future king who is fully obedient to God.
nt. The theme of blessing continues to play an important part in the Joseph story, with Joseph bringing blessing to many nations, a picture that prefigures the much greater blessing that comes through Jesus Christ.
Genesis gives priority to Joseph as the one designated firstborn by his father, Jacob, and the one associated with royalty. However, following Joseph's departure to Egypt, Genesis 38 unexpectedly focuses on Judah's offspring. The chapter concludes with a brief report of twins being born to Tamar, with the younger brother Perez pushing aside his older brother Zerah in order to become the firstborn. From Perez comes the royal line of David (Ruth 4). According to Psalm 78:56–72, the royal line of Joseph was rejected by God due to its sinfulness in the time of Samuel. At this stage, David is appointed by God to continue the family line that begins in Genesis.
While the actual designation Messiah is never used in Genesis, the entire book anticipates that through the offspring of the woman, the Evil One will be defeated and God's blessing will come to the nations of the earth. All importantly, this divinely promised royal offspring takes us from Abraham to David and on to Jesus Christ.

In this post I will discuss about the best practices and important points for effective email newsletter list management. By using these top 16 tips and guidelines you can create a successful email marketing campaign.
1) Opt-in list: The most important point in email marketing is that you need to make sure that you are using your own opt-in list. An opt-in list is the one for which your subscribers have specifically requested to receive your mailings.
2) Double opt-in or confirmed opt-in list: Double opt-in or confirmed opt-in list is nowadays an industry standard in email marketing. Your subscribers must have confirmed or validated their email address. In future, if someone says that they haven't signed up for your list and you are spamming then you can show them the sign up records with full header information that they have confirmed their email address to be added to the email list.
3) Do not buy, rent or use someone else's list: You should never buy, rent or use a third-party email list for sending your emails. Sending emails to these types of lists is known as spamming as these people have never signed up for your list and when you send emails to them, they will definitely mark it as spam.
4) Do not upload your address book: Also, you should not upload your email address book to your list as these people have just communicated with you for some or the other reason. They may or may not be interested in getting information about your products.
5) Create your own list: You should always create your own list for sending your newsletters. If you wish to have more subscribers then, there are many ways to increase newsletter subscribers.
6) Subject line of your newsletter: When you are writing a subject line for your newsletters then you should use proper syntax. I have written another article on how to write subject line for an email newsletter.
7) Header of newsletter: As a best practice in email marketing header is generally used for adding the logo of your company and the headline of the email newsletter. You should double-check before sending the newsletters that headline and header image is properly aligned in your message.
8) Body of newsletter: For a professional email newsletter, the body of the email should be properly formatted having no extra spaces and blank lines. Images and other multimedia content should be correctly aligned to give it a professional look.
According to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (issued by FTC), it is required that you should enter your physical address or a post office box address in every commercial email you are sending.
10) Opt-out and Unsubscribe: It is also stated by CAN-SPAM Act, that you should provide an option to your subscribers so that they can easily unsubscribe from your list. The best way to do it, is by adding an unsubscribe link in the footer of your message.
Also, if a subscriber asks you to remove them from your mailings you should promptly unsubscribe them manually. It is not a good practice to ask the recipient why they wish to unsubscribe from your mailings. As they already have mentioned that they do not wish to receive any emails and sending any more emails to them would count as a spam. If the recipient complains their ISP that they are still receiving emails from you, then your servers or your email list management provider's mail servers (if you are using a third-party email list management service) may get blacklisted.
11) HTML or text emails: Nowadays, all the major email list management providers send a MIME multipart message. A MIME multipart message is a combination of both HTML message and a text version. The way it works is, if the HTML message can be displayed in the subscriber's browser then a HTML version is shown, otherwise a text version is displayed. So, basically you should create your regular HTML newsletters by using editors and tools provided by your email list management software and email list managers. Another advantage of creating an HTML email is that almost all the subscribers these days can view HTML newsletters. Also, all the major companies in the world these days send HTML newsletters.
12) Don't add attachments in emails: Sending attachments in an email newsletter is not a best practice as spammers send spyware, Trojans and viruses through attachments. As a result of that, email spam filters (which are used by your recipients email server) drop an email which has an attachment. So, even if your email newsletter has a genuine attachment, there's a high probability that it would be dropped by your recipient's email servers. Due to this, many top-notch email marketing companies do not allow attachments in outgoing emails sent through their servers. If you wish to add a file like flash, video, or a document, the best way is to upload it in your website or blog, then add its link in the email newsletter.
13) Do not collect subscriber email address by writing: If you have an event, make sure that you don't collect email addresses of participants through paper. The problem with a paper sign up form is that your visitors might end up making a typo or you might not be able to read a particular email address. There are billions of email addresses getting registered with free email service providers like Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, Hotmail etc. Even a change in an alphabet or misreading an underscore or a dot will result in the email to go to unintended recipients. Also, the email address signed up through paper are unconfirmed. This can again lead to spam complaints.
14) Broken links: Before sending your newsletters you should check that all the links in your email newsletter are working and there should not be any broken links.
15) Scheduling a newsletter: It is a best practice to send your newsletters on a specific day and time. Which is the best day and time to send a newsletter actually depends on your business. I have written an article on best and worst days to send email newsletters based on statistics. You can go through this article to find the best day and time to send your newsletters.
16) Preview your newsletter: Once you have followed all the above given steps and if your are ready to schedule your newsletter, as a last step preview it by sending a copy to yourself. Many email management software provide this functionality. By previewing you can check how an email newsletter will look before you send a blast.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic between 2020-2021, flights into and out of Timor-Leste through Dili international airport were restricted. It has an 1850 m length and 30 m wide runway. Due to the runway length, the maximum size of aircraft capable of landing is B737 equivalent.
In October 2021, the Asian Development Bank approved a $135 million loan for the expansion of Dili Airport. This project aims to improve facilities at Dili Airport by extending the airport runway to meet international safety standards and constructing a new air traffic control tower (ATCT), taxiways, aprons, and aeronautical ground lighting system support the upgraded runway.
