Procol Harum - Still There'll Be More: An Anthology 67-17 album review
Birth of prog and its inventors' trail-blazing evolution
By Kris Needs
Why you can trust Louder Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
In this magazine's tradition, we'll avoid well-trodden paths when considering this stellar overview of Procol Harum's 50-year legacy and take the scenic route after those two first hits instead. Although their self-titled first album surfed 1967's psychedelic tidal waves with grace, elegance and imagination, classical-referencing instrumental Repent Walpurgis confirmed Procol were busy inventing modern prog as we know it before any usually-cited bands; Gary Brooker singing Keith Reid's surreal lyrics at the core of their sound.
After 1968's Shine On Brightly boasted one of nascent prog's first epic suites with the 18-minute In Held 'Twas In I, A Salty Dog stands as their greatest achievement in the 69 tracks drawn from 13 albums in this lavish set. Still hauntingly beautiful, it was their first to use an orchestra, subtly enhancing the emotion swelling through Brooker's brine-battered vocal. The Devil Came From Kansas plugged Procol into proto-Americana infused with crashing drama, despite Trower straining towards power trio exhibitionism.
1970's Home continued the schizophrenic dashes between gothic classical and US roots, though Trower was gone when this writer saw Procol prove blindingly powerful live. 1971's Broken Barricades clinched their progressive crown with tracks like the Mellotron-garnished Luskus Delph, consolidated by 1972's Live: In Concert With The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra presenting a richly-effective classical rock fusion, including full-bore realisation of In Held 'Twas In I. 1973's fabulous but overlooked Grand Hotel highlighted Procol's sweepingly romantic, decayed ballroom grandeur, the title track's palm court ghosts imbued with sepia classicism. 1974's Exotic Birds And Fruit and '75's Lieber and Stoller-produced Procol's Ninth refined this heady brew, Pandora's Box's dark marble hoodoo their last hit before they buckled under punk and bowed out with 1977's robust Something Magic.
Procol picked up where they'd left off with 1991's The Prodigal Stranger, then 2003's The Well's On Fire showing the pair's writing chops still in rude health. After more touring, Procol returned with 2017's late-period peak Novum, veteran poet Pete Brown now Brooker's lyrical foil, its poignantly spot-on The Only One closing disc three.
Disc four presents a 1973 Hollywood Bowl show with LA's Symphony Orchestra while five features a 1976 Bournemouth set, both previously unreleased. There are also three fascinating discs culled from UK and German TV appearances, starting with A Whiter Shade Of Pale on Top Of The Pops, completing this stellar prog monument.

Galeria de Artă din Geelong, cunoscută în prezent sub numele de Galeria din Geelong, este o galerie regională importantă din orașul Geelong din Victoria, Australia. Galeria are peste 6.000 de opere de artă în colecția sa. Galeria este formată din Incinta Culturală din Geelong alături de Biblioteca din Geelong și Centrul de Patrimoniu Geelong adiacent (Biblioteca Regională din Geelong și Centrul de Patrimoniu din Geelong), Centrul de Artă din Geelong și Tribunalul din Geelong (găzduiește Teatrul Back to Back și Platform Arts).

Istorie
O galerie de artă pentru Geelong a fost solicitată pentru prima dată în 1895 de către membrii Geelong Progress League. În mai 1900, Asociația Galeriilor de Artă din Geelong a primit permisiunea de a folosi trei pereți din Primăria din Geelong pentru a expune lucrări de artă. Printre primele achiziții făcute a fost pictura A Bush Burial a lui Frederick McCubbin din 1890, care a costat 100 de guinee (210 dolari americani) la acea vreme. La 31 mai 1900, la primărie a avut loc deschiderea oficială a Galeriei de Artă din Geelong. A prezidat S. Austin, iar primarul Alderman Carr a ținut un discurs în care a declarat oficial că este deschis publicului.

Galeria a fost mutată în curând în Clădirea Bibliotecii Libere din strada Moorabool (între străzile Malop și Corio).

În martie 1903, două acuarele despre viața colonială din Victoria au fost prezentate Galeriei de Artă din Geelong de către G.M. Hitchcock. Una îl înfățișează pe William Buckley "sălbaticul alb ". Cealaltă acuarelă este a interiorului primului birou de ziar din Melbourne.

Clădirea
Actuala galerie din Geelong a fost deschisă oficial în 1915 și a fost ridicată ca un memorial al regretatului George M. Hitchcock. Este situat în partea de sud a Parcului Johnstone, între Primărie și fosta stație de pompieri, acum ocupată de Biblioteca și Centrul de Patrimoniu din Geelong. Clădirea inițială a constat dintr-un portic și un vestibul cu vedere spre parc și Galeria G. M. Hitchcock.

Primele adăugări la galerie au avut loc în 1928, când a fost deschisă Galeria Henry P. Douglas, urmată de Galeria H.F. Richardson în 1937. Intrarea principală în galerie a fost mutată pe strada Little Malop odată cu deschiderea galeriei J.H. Galeria McPhillimy de către prim-ministrul de atunci Joseph Lyons în 1938. A urmat o extindere ulterioară în 1956 și una în 1971, renovări contemporane având loc în 2001 și 2017.

Colecții
Galeria are o colecție de peste 6.000 de obiecte australiene și internaționale, inclusiv scrieri pe hârtie, picturi, artă decorativă și sculptură. Articolele individuale ale colecției pot fi vizualizate pe site-ul web al colecției Geelong Gallery.

« North Central CA Coast upper trof to kick out Monday afternoon, leaving drier weather for the rest of the week…..The AZ Monsoon may be coming to an end…..
An upper level ridge of high pressure will build over the Eastern Sierra while a weak baggy trof remains off shore. This will continue the dry pattern over the eastern sierra while temperatures return to more seasonal levels. High temps in Mammoth will rise to the upper 70s this weekend with lows in the 40s. Little change is expected over the next 5 to 7 days….
PS. The ECMWF model (week 2) has a Fetch of Hurricane moisture lurking off the Southern CA Coast by the end of the Month….
With a combination of weak troughing aloft, an on-shore SW flow and an upper high with an axis that is not conducive for the import of monsoonal moisture, these actions finally turn our air mass dry over the eastern sierra. This pattern may continue for a week or even longer….
Highs temps in Mammoth will be in the low 70s the next few days then rise to the mid to upper 70s this weekend.
Overnight lows will range in the mid 30s to low 40s depending upon wind. Winds will occasionally gust up to 30MPH here locally with more moderate winds to 50mph over the crest today and tonight.
Overall…..It is Eastern Sierra Weather at its best!
Lots of folks like to try to tie past events to future weather or climate events…. Like a wet summer precedes a wet Winter or a dry and windy summer precedes a wet winter. Or pinecones clustering at the top of pine trees in Summer precedes a wet winter.
The facts show that all of these observations can be explained by what has already happened. Not a forecast for future events.
Example: If one goes outside in Mammoth today and looks at the local pine trees. There is difficulty finding pinecones at all! That is because the trees are in survival mode with the three-year drought. This will have nothing to do with what the upcoming winter will be like precip wise.
Heavy clustering of Pinecones in the Summer is a reaction to past years of normal to above normal snowfall.
Another observation: This has been one of the wettest Summers for the Eastern Sierra in recent memory. Does that mean that the winter will be wet? No… The wet Summer is directly related to the exceptionally strong Kelvin Wave that traveled from the Indian Ocean last winter to the Western Pacific and finally washed up upon the Central American coast late last Spring. The warm water underneath the surface was forced to rise and then was squeezed north and south by the continent. The northern portion of the squeeze pushed warm water as far north as over much of the California coastline. SSTA's in the Sea of Cortez was recorded showing high temps well into the 90s! SST's along the Southern CA coast were up to the mid to upper 70s! All this heat and humidity and the "shorter" June Gloom season over Southern CA was caused to a great extent from that giant Kelvin Wave. A big part of this years California Thunderstorm Equation and was a result to a great degree to the same Kelvin Wave that was actually initiated very early this calendar year. To my knowledge, no one forecasted a wet Summer for CA in the early to mid spring with record rains in the San Gabriel Mts. However, the CFS (Climate Forecast System) did forecast last June, precipitation departures from normal of over 200% over Mono County for July! The Dweebs here did put that into an interseasonal outlook early this Summer.
Fall type weather is settling into the Arctic now. The upper jet is gaining strength and tropical storm action over the eastern pacific is increasing. This is typical by mid August. The "Dog Days" of Summer are over……. From what I see in the extended outlook…The Eastern Sierra Monsoon Season of Anomalous Easterly flow from AZ is over…… However, with that said, in that it is expected to be a bit above normal in temps for the next two weeks, there is always the possibility of high based, isolated air mass type thunderstorms action over the Sierra.
OK…the Dweebs used the CFS for the Summer Precipitation outlook back last June and it accurately forecasted a wetter than normal July. Here is what it says for late August thru mid September. It says that between the last full week of August and the 1st half of September, precipitation will range from +200% to +250% as a departure from normal. However, the clustering is not from AZ, rather from the south-south west. Thus it suggests significant moisture from a tropical storm or two getting entrained ahead of eastern pacific trofs during that time frame.
This is the direction of where the eyes of the Dweebs will be focused over the remaining weeks of Summer.

Govt to bar public office holders from availing tax amnesty scheme
Replicates National Accountability Ordinance 1999 definition; Sharif, Zardari to become ineligible to use the scheme

ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to bar all those holding any public office since January 2000 from availing the prime minister's tax amnesty scheme in an attempt to address concerns that former heads of the government and state can avail the assets-whitening package.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government has also decided to replicate the definition of 'public office holder' given in the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999 in the Foreign Assets Declaration Ordinance, which remained under drafting on Saturday. However, the government is still not ready to include the definition of politically exposed persons (PEPs) in the ordinance, according to sources.
"All those who have held public office since January 1, 2000 would be barred from availing the tax amnesty scheme," said Adviser to PM on Finance Dr Miftah Ismail while talking to The Express Tribune.
Govt offers three-month asset whitening deal
The decision to declare public office holders ineligible for the amnesty scheme with effect from January 1, 2000 would exclude all those politicians who, in any manner, were the state functionaries and remained part of federal and provincial governments.
Former PM Nawaz Sharif, former president Asif Ali Zardar, former finance minister Ishaq Dar and former minister of industries Jehanghir Tareen cannot avail the tax amnesty scheme due to the federal government's decision to exclude public office holders with effect from January 2000. But the children of these politicians can still avail the scheme as the NAB Ordinance definition does not cover them.
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Thursday announced the economic reform package, offering people to declare their hidden foreign assets by paying at the rate of 2% to 5% and local assets at 5%. The ordinance to give effect to the scheme was expected to be promulgated on Saturday but things remained fluid the whole day.
Objections of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to the tax amnesty scheme and resistance to a liberal definition of the 'public office holder' threw spanner in the works, forcing the government to delay the promulgation of the ordinance.
"The PM will give the necessary approvals on Sunday and after that the ordinance will be sent for promulgation to President Mamnoon Hussain," said Ismail.
Shabbar Zaidi, senior partner of the chartered accountancy firm AF Ferguson, said, "The FATF's concerns about the Foreign Declaration Assets Tax are unjust as it is not an amnesty but a one-time tax on declaration of offshore assets."
A summary has been circulated among the cabinet members for their approval of the ordinance as no formal cabinet meeting was called till Saturday. From Monday, the Senate will be in session which would stop the promulgation of the ordinance.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is fundamentally against the scheme even if the government declares public office holders ineligible for it, according to Asad Umar, the party's MNA.
He said in such a scenario where the public officer holders became ineligible with effect from January 2000, politicians like Maryam Nawaz and Bilawal Bhutto would still be eligible to qualify for the scheme.
The government has decided to replicate the NAB Ordinance definition of public office holder. In the NAB Ordinance, local bodies representatives were also covered in the definition of public office holder.
But the PML-N government has decided to exclude local bodies representatives from the definition of public office holder, to be given in the ordinance that is being worked on.
According to the NAB definition, president of Pakistan, governor of a province, prime minister, Senate chairman, National Assembly speaker and deputy speaker, federal minister, minister of state, attorney general, adviser to PM and chief minister, special assistant to PM and chief minister, federal parliamentary secretary, member of parliament, auditor general, political secretary, consultant to PM are public office holders.
FATF expresses concern over PM's tax amnesty scheme
Ismail said the government had prepared a response to the FATF objections which would be sent next week. He said the proposed package should not be construed as an assets-whitening scheme.
"The FBR [Federal Board of Revenue] will have the right to ask questions if foreign remittances are in excess of $100,000 a year," he said. "The dollars placed in locally opened Foreign Currency Accounts have also been hedged for a period of five years, which will discourage dollarisation of the economy."
He said only the National Tax Number holder can open a Foreign Currency Account under the proposed package. "The most revolutionary step of the proposed package is the government's right to acquire the properties at higher rates which will discourage the practice of under-declaration of asset," he added.

We would like to update the community on new improvements and features we have added to GreenAddress. Previously, we blogged about the new long term two factor recovery procedure we were planning to implement, so users who have lost the ability to access their bitcoins can now recover them. This recovery procedure is now implemented and available on the desktop and Android versions of our software. Our Terms of Service is also updated in preparation for the CSV changes coming soon, and to clarify the details of the recovery procedure. We would like to thank everyone for their patience as we worked to provide a method to recover lost access.
In addition to implementing the new recovery procedure, we have ported the GreenAddress Chrome application as an interim step as we move focus towards building on more native frameworks. The new desktop application is based on libwally, our libsecp256k1-based wallet library. It also fully supports hardware wallets like the Trezor One and Ledger Nano S, with support planned for other hardware wallets.
Although we are deprecating the Chrome application and our Web Wallet, they are still usable for the time being. Note that the Chrome application and Web Wallet will not be updated in the future and will eventually be removed in the coming months, so we strongly encourage migrating to the desktop application or smartphone apps.
As we noted in our previous blog post, we will be taking advantage of CSV (CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY), a feature in Bitcoin that allows us to greatly improve recoverability for GreenAddress users. Support for this feature will be included in future GreenAddress releases.
The biggest improvement CSV enables is reducing the amount of trust users have to place in GreenAddress. With CSV, users will no longer have to worry about GreenAddress shutting down nor will they have to trust GreenAddress to provide out of band nLockTime transactions.
We will continue to provide more information as the deployment time approaches. We are very excited about the improvements to our user experience that CSV will bring!
We are also excited to announce a new native iOS app which will include an updated and rebranded UI, and will be based on our new GreenAddress Development Kit (GDK). The GDK is based on libwally and provides a high-level coding interface for anyone that wants to access GreenAddress programmatically. Along with CSV implementation updates, we will provide more information on the new iOS app and GDK as their respective release times approach.
We appreciate you taking the time to read this announcement. We would like to remind users again to enable a second two factor method as a backup if they currently only have a single method enabled. As always, we are busy working on other new features and enhancements to the platform, and will update the community about them in the future.
If you have questions or comments, you can reach us at info@greenaddress.it.
How is GreenAddress handling the BIP91/BIP148 soft fork?
BIP91 (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0091.mediawiki) has now been activated by a large majority of miners. This means that miners are now signaling to activate Segregated Witness (also known as segwit or BIP141, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki).
If BIP91 is enforced by a majority of miners as expected, they will ignore blocks that are not signaling segwit. This will have the effect of activating Segregated Witness on the main Bitcoin chain.
In order to ensure that the service is not affected by any miners that do not enforce BIP91, we are now enforcing BIP91 on our service nodes. This means we are only considering blocks that signal segwit as valid. This aligns the service with the majority of miners and prevents us from processing blocks that are likely to be orphaned/reorganized out of the blockchain. This in turn should prevent our users from being misled or confused by transactions and/or confirmations that would later disappear.
Enforcing BIP91 in this manner is compatible with the User Activated Soft Fork (i.e. UASF, also known as BIP148, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0148.mediawiki). As things currently stand we do not foresee any issues or long lasting split arising from BIP148 activating on August 1st.
Users of our Android app GreenBits can configure it to point to their own node to independently verify validity of confirmations.
Will GreenAddress support a hard fork? How can I spend coins on a hard fork chain?
As of today there hasn't been any hard fork proposal that has gathered consensus. A hardfork is something that anyone can do at any time and it is infeasible for companies and developers to have reasonable support for proposals that are contentious. We do not currently plan to support a specific hard fork at this time.
If you wish to be able to spend coins on a chain that clones the Bitcoin ledger, we advise that you move your coins from GreenAddress to a wallet that will allow you to split your coins safely. Coins that are held in GreenAddress may not be able to be split, and transactions that occur on GreenAddress may be replayed on the forked chain. If you do not care about forked chains, or you believe a given fork will not last, then you can simply ignore the hard fork. Your coins on the main Bitcoin chain will remain valid and spendable there as usual.
Please note that we cannot provide support services for users who wish to split coins outside of GreenAddress, and we do not plan to develop split support for coins in GreenAddress wallets even if the forked chain coins should survive or rise in value.
We have a position statement on contentious forks which you can read at https://blog.greenaddress.it/2017/03/27/greenaddress-position-on-contentious-forks/.
What about Bitcoin Cash/Bitcoin ABC/Segwit2X support?
See the above question on hard fork support.
What about normal Segwit support? Can I create segwit transactions once it activates?
We support segwit and will enable this functionality as an opt-out option for users after it is fully activated and our testing of the features is complete. We will announce this before we enable the functionality along with instructions on how to opt-out if you wish. If you would like to test segwit integration or how our wallets work with segwit, you can use our testnet service which is already segwit enabled.
Recently there has been considerable discussion and speculation concerning the possibility of a contentious fork to the Bitcoin blockchain.
At this time, we remain confident such a fork will not occur. We trust that the incentives of the system continue to operate as expected and encourage participants to play by the Bitcoin consensus rules.
However, if such a situation were to unfold, GreenAddress users need not to worry. We will always provide safe wallet support for Bitcoin under the original chain rules, as GreenAddress is server based and follows Bitcoin's consensus rules. Users do not need to take any particular action at this time.
To better understand the principles guiding us, we wish to emphasize our vision for Bitcoin and what drives us everyday to create infrastructure that we hope can help further its adoption.
We strongly believe that the critical properties of decentralization, censorship resistance, privacy and trustlessness must not just be maintained, but enhanced further while the technology behind and around Bitcoin is scaled up to serve the whole world.
We support this technology because it enables voluntary actions and makes coercive behaviours ineffective. We think it is superior to existing alternatives because it allows us to verify rather than trust. Bitcoin uses the most work valid chain, and economic actors collectively follow rules set by the software they run. Accordingly, our focus is and will always remain to build products and advocate for solutions that put you, the user, in control.
GreenAddress does not support contentious hard forks that risk disenfranchising users, irrespective of hashing power. We believe that such an outcome would create an irreparable precedent that would severely undermine social trust in Bitcoin and potentially set it back for years to come. We will only consider proposals that demonstrate the support of the majority of users, developers and industry partners in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
We strongly favor protocol upgrades that guarantee backwards-compatibility and allow users to opt-in to new features without the threat of coercion. In that regard, soft forks are widely regarded as the most secure and reliable way to implement Bitcoin upgrades. The robustness of this method is shown by years of experience with Bitcoin itself as well as a great deal of technical analysis. We encourage you to consult the links below for further information.
Additionally, our GreenBits wallet app for Android allows you to directly connect to your own full node for extra validation of the information provided by the service. We aim to roll out this extra security (and more) to all of our wallet clients in the near future.
For further reading on considerations for hard fork proposals, see recent posts from fellow industry members, BitGo and Bitrated.
Today, we have some exciting news. We are proud to announce that we are joining forces with Blockstream, a leader in open source blockchain technology.
For the last two years we have worked hard to bring you a user friendly, innovative, and safe bitcoin wallet. We couldn't have come this far without you. No worries! Your wallet will continue to operate, and, as always: your funds are safe by design. We are grateful for your support and feedback. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
Many of you know that GreenAddress was one of the first bitcoin wallets to deliver features like HD multisig, hardware wallet support, dynamic fees, and transaction replacement. Now, with the expertise, experience, and resources of Blockstream, we will continue improving GreenAddress. Our goal is to remain at the forefront of innovation and deliver new improvements to our users.
Here's a preview of upcoming improvements we are working on: a multi-platform wallet library to enable more rapid development of all platforms, enhanced privacy and security, and of course sidechain support throughout the platform. Extending GreenAddress to work with sidechains will mean you, as a GreenAddress user, will have the ability to manage not only bitcoin, but other assets and features that are coming online over the next months and years ahead as Blockstream and other developers establish new sidechain-based networks.
You could already experience the benefits of our collaboration with Blockstream: out of it came the novel and trustless nLockTime backup feature. Many other improvements are yet to come as a product of very exciting discussions we already had! We are extremely excited to solidify this relationship and continue evolving the space to the benefit of you and all our other valued users.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach me at lawrence@blockstream.com.
tldr The reason we started GreenAddress was to provide a way of third party assured, zero-conf transactions: our customers have enjoyed since the service was launched. RBF means these transactions won't get stuck, and their bitcoin experience will be even smoother, even in the case of massive usage spikes. For us and our customers, there is no downside, and only upside to this change, so of course we support it!
First, what is replace by fee (RBF)?
The short answer is that RBF is a mechanism to update a transaction that is not getting confirmed by miners because its fee is too low – the idea is to increase the fee to give miners an incentive to mine it.
The idea of RBF is quite simple, yet the topic is undoubtedly controversial as it makes something unreliably unreliable (and insecure) like zero-conf transactions reliably unreliable.
We have been advocating for RBF since as early as April 2014: the first time we publicly discussed RBF was when BitUndo was announced and when Peter Todd suggested miners should implement it. The reason we support RBF is simple: transactions are constantly getting stuck (especially as blocks get fuller and fuller) and even if you use the state of art in terms of fee estimation, predicting spikes is unreliable at best. Inevitably, unconfirmed transactions for hours or even days will occur, which is incredibly frustrating for bitcoin users.
We think RBF is inevitable and can't be prevented, as it is not a consensus rule but a mere mining policy: miners can decide at any point in time to support RBF (just like they can decide to mine an empty block) without any need for anyone to agree. This makes accepting zero-conf an especially risky business as miners have a strong economic incentive to support RBF (increased fees!) and some have been known to take advantage of their position in the past.
Many have been saying that RBF (also known as Full RBF) is vandalism, as it breaks some unsupportable use cases by making them reliably unreliable. This is true to a certain extent; however, we always believed that one should always think adversarially and avoid relying on zero-conf, because if something can go wrong it inevitably will. We are also worried that perceived tacit consent of zero-conf would lead to an increase of adoption, which once attacked could be disastrous to the Bitcoin industry as a whole.
How many types of RBF exist?
We already discussed Full RBF above so we'll talk about the other two now.
First Seen Safe RBF (FSS RBF) is a way to support RBF without the perception of vandalism: allow people to update stuck transaction, but without the ability to change or remove any of the inputs and outputs. Users are only allowed to add new inputs to increase the fee (and new outputs as necessary).
While this sounds great, in practice it is quite bad because every FSS RBF update increases the amount of coins stuck and always requires users to have multiple unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), but a large part of users have only one (and even if they had more, they wouldn't want to tie up more and more of them as they attempt to update a transaction fee). Unfortunately, we can't increase the fee by decreasing the change amount as miners have no idea which output(s) are change. While users could let miners know by flagging the change this, would be an incredibly reckless idea as it would harm privacy for all participants in the space – even when RBF is not used.
Recently Bitcoin Core has merged Opt-in RBF, which will be part of the 0.12 release scheduled to be released in the upcoming months. What is it? It's a way to make RBF opt in, that is, transactions will have to be flagged in order for RBF updates to work (using an unused field in transactions called nSequence). This way, recipients can instantly detect the transaction is updatable (just like they can currently detect a fee being too low for a timely confirmation).
Merchants and payment processors don't need to make more changes that they would normally do during normal updates to things like minimum relay fee or dust amounts in order to handle opt-in RBF.
This is great right? Indeed it is, best of both worlds, yet it is still quite misunderstood. Luckily, a great FAQ has been worked on by the community, which should clarify any doubt left.
GreenAddress' users have been enjoying third party trust instant transaction for a long time now, which has allowed people to hold their own Bitcoin. By using supported exchanges like The Rock Trading they retain the ability to trade fast without waiting for confirmation.
With RBF this is even better, as it allows to more aggressively reduce fees and have better confirmations speed guarantees.
One last important point to make is that opt in RBF doesn't actually prevent Full RBF – miners can still decide to adopt Full RBF, so people should be very careful when accepting zero-conf regardless. The practice should never be encouraged.
In the long term assurance based on third party trust is not great because you are trusting someone and it is possible for that trust to be broken, willingly or not. Lightning is posing to be the superior mechanism for instant confirmation without the need to trust anyone. We intend to support Lightning in the future and believe that RBF will be extremely important for maintaining the trustlessness of Lightning (as you need to be able to update the fee for transactions timing out from lightning peers).
This question is impossible to answer. There is no "right" blocksize, and everyone will have to lobby for their vision of the network.
However, in order to actually persuade anyone of your position, you need to enumerate your end goals and take a critical look at what this will mean for the decentralized nature of the network. This post delves into why this is such a tough problem, and why naive scaling is not a silver bullet even under optimistic conditions. Scaling Bitcoin in this way is a game of getting things "just right": not too cold, and not too hot.
There is no argument that the 1MB block size was arbitrarily chosen and painfully small. Originally this was instituted to prevent DoS attacks against the network. The roughly 3.5 transactions per second this allows means that we have a total capacity of 110 million transactions per year, with a blockchain growth cap of 52.56GB a year.
This means that if we only count on-chain transactions as "Bitcoin", 1.6% of people on planet earth could make a single transaction a year. If we stick to a Lightning Network-style payment channel setup, this means that 0.8% of humanity could get hub-and-spoke payment channels each year in today's blocks. Even this relegates the Bitcoin network as a settlement network for banks and large financial players.
On the other hand, running a full node today is utterly trivial with a modern computer and internet connection, and SPV nodes appear to be well provisioned on less than 6,500 listening full nodes. Anyone who chooses to do so can run a full node and enjoy the full security of the network. As computing technology advances, it is quite likely that a 1MB cap could be trivially run on a budget smartphone. If you are an interested banker at least.
To most, 1MB forever is too small to really hit any sort of network effect they desire. If we want to improve this, why don't we just increase the blocksize and scale it up until we really make an impact?
Let's say we just want all people on planet earth to be able to make two transactions a year on-chain. That would require roughly 126MB blocks, with a theoretical maximum blockchain growth of 6.7TB a year. Scaling it even further, it gets apparent that running a full node will become a serious affair. If we want all humans to be able to make two transactions a day on-chain for paying bills, groceries, and coffee, we come to the massive blocksize of nearly 46GB. Running a full archive node will take 2.4PB of storage per year.
Even if we trimmed the low-hanging fruit to improve node performance and stuck with the first scaling scenario, no longer would running a node be a trivial exercise, but one that would take a serious amount of effort and resources maintain. There is clearly a trade-off on ability to interact directly with the blockchain via transactions and the ability to participate in the validation of the network itself. Most importantly, growing the block size too fast could result in catastrophic centralization of the network, resulting in a few stakeholders counterfeiting and controlling policy at will.
Bitcoin the network is not as decentralized as we would like.
More worryingly, Bitcoin businesses that need wallet services are being publicly encouraged by unauthenticated blockchain indexing services to not run a full node. If we can't even convince organizations that need the security protection the most to run full nodes when the blockchain is quite small, this casts doubt on the viability of expansive changes to the protocol.
The mining industry seems equally as dire. A vast majority of pooled miners hand over their entire hashing "vote" to the control of the pool itself, or simply throw their bits to cloud mining operators who are more likely than not some form of Ponzi.
Changing these behaviors will mostly require education and time rather than with the blocksize cap, but it's important to note that it is not very conservative to stress the network's security assumptions when all other measurements are pointing to centralization issues.
Much of the urgency in this debate seems to be over the natural state of the network in the long-term. There appear to be 3 factions, with slight overlap in membership between adjacent groups.
Catastrophic Coalition: This group contends that once max block size is hit consistently, it will essentially be viewed as a Denial of Service attack, blocking out cheap transactions, making transactions time out of the network's collective mempool, and inherently damage Bitcoin's reputation. The public will point and laugh at the puny 3.5 transactions per second rate, and people will either flock to altcoins who have not hit such a cap, or simply traditional payment systems. Bitcoin will have permanently missed the opportunity to replace VISA. This event is to be avoided at all costs.
Experimenters: This group is really quite curious what is going to happen when the 1MB blocksize cap is hit. They view Bitcoin as an experiment, and are partial to the idea that "hitting the max block size will have to happen eventually, so why not now?" Many of these are also interested in finding out how many business models and security assumptions were being made in the absence of block inclusion competition. Often these folks are looking forward to some type of replace-by-fee to be rolled out to create a real functioning fee market in contrast to today's relatively ham-fisted software that just fails if you shoot too low in fee. Hitting the block limit would spur development of such software.
Scarce Resourcists: This group believes that Bitcoin, in it's natural state, will be up against the block size limit. They argue a limit will be necessary to both fund the network security by auctioning a scarce resource(paper), and will be a consequence of the desire to keep the network decentralized. They believe that simply "scaling up" is a dangerous exercise, and in their heart of hearts an ultimately futile attempt to displace traditional payment systems. Instead development should be focused on tackling problems that they believe Bitcoin can actually solve using solutions such as payment channels and off-chain crypto-audited banks.
After looking at these groups, we can now see why pre-emptively forking for the future is probably not going to gain consensus any time soon. This pragmatic and ideological divide is not going to be gapped by an excited blog post, but through time, experimentation, experience, politicking, and a dash of humility. Proposing block increases based off of future technological advancement are dead on arrival; increases, if and when they happen, will be reactionary events. Failure to take the time to gain consensus before making bold, imminent-sounding pronouncements will only further delay changes that are deemed necessary by the factions.
The blockchain, much like democracy, is a MAD-style suicide pact; a never-ending game of chicken. Each user that derives some utility from the current network wants the thing they like amplified even if that is to the detriment of some other users. Each user can vote for their opinion in various ways, with a permanent blockchain forking being most likely the wrong solution.
With this in mind, we can look for common ground while looking forward. Building layers on top of Bitcoin such as hub-and-spoke payment channels, and audit-able crypto-banks can be started today to relieve a lot of this pressure. Some type of replace-by-fee has to be developed to make fee adjustments easier and safer than now. These enhancements will be required at whatever blocksize is deemed safe in the future. Perhaps someday we can scale Bitcoin enough that everyone can have at least some access to the blockchain through naive scaling or newer ideas such as treechains. Until then we should focus on what is probable and safe today, and less on guesses about tomorrow's technical advances.
GreenAddress and its team are happy to announce the availability of GreenBits in the Android Play and F-Droid open source stores.
A new, open source, snappy Android Bitcoin Wallet combining the improved security provided by multisignature and hardware wallets to enhance both security and user experience.
Based on BitcoinJ, the app supports all hardware wallets currently available including the Ledger Nano and HW.1 as well as Satoshilabs' TREZOR and clones such as BWALLET.
The app is available for both MainNet and TestNet, some functionality currently requires use of the GreenAddress desktop app to be used (for instance enabling/disabling 2FA, Limits, initializing hardware wallets, etc).
Some have asked why we have a new app and what will happen to the old Android app we have.
While the old app provided a great amount of functionality we came to the conclusion that having a native Android app provides a better user experience and generally faster payments.
We will keep both for the time being as GreenBits becomes more robust and supports all features GreenAddress has.
Feedback as usual is greatly appreciated!

PMA exhibition to present stunning, complicated portrait of N.C. Wyeth
'New Perspectives' raises questions about his whiteness, his Euro-centric view and his depiction of people of color.
By Bob KeyesStaff Writer

N.C. Wyeth suffered a ghastly death in October 1945, when a freight train slammed into his station wagon near his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. He and a young grandson were killed instantly.
WHAT: N.C. Wyeth: New Perspectives
WHERE: Portland Museum of Art, 7 Congress Square
WHEN: Friday through Jan. 12
HOURS: Through Oct. 31, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday; closed Monday and Tuesday beginning Nov. 1
ADMISSION & INFO: $18, $15 seniors and students, 21 and younger free; free 4-8 p.m. Friday; portlandmuseum.org or 775-6148
Wyeth was 62 and one of America's celebrity painters, but he died without the satisfaction of living long enough to see his career taken seriously by the fine-art establishment. He was perhaps American's best-known illustrator, whose paintings for Scribner's "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson served as platforms to launch the imaginations of generations of young readers. But he died lacking what he wanted most: Recognition as a serious artist.
A new exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art puts all of Wyeth's art in context, and presents his so-called easel paintings – the paintings he made because he wanted to and not because they were commissioned – alongside his illustrations. The exhibition includes the paintings that ended up in books and magazines, as well as broad array of landscapes, still lifes and other thematic images. The exhibition, "N.C. Wyeth: New Perspectives," opening Friday also raises questions about Wyeth's whiteness, his Euro-centric view of the world in first half of the 20th century and his depiction of people of color in his paintings.

The result is an exhibition of majestic proportions that offers a stunning and complicated portrait of the patriarch of America's first family of Art. Wyeth, born Newell Convers Wyeth in Needham, Massachusetts, in 1882, was the father of Andrew and grandfather of Jamie, who was born the summer after his grandfather died.
With roots in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Massachusetts, three generations of Wyeths have painted in Maine. N.C. Wyeth was captivated by Maine when he sailed along the coast around 1910, and a decade later purchased a home in Port Clyde, setting the family's stake firmly in the midcoast.

"New Perspectives" is the first major exhibition in 50 years that brings together both facets of his career, and is co-organized by the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford. The Portland exhibition, on view through Jan. 12, includes about 45 paintings and drawings. The exhibition is co-curated by Christine B. Podmaniczky, an authority on Wyeth who serves as curator of the N. C. Wyeth Collections & Historic Properties at the Brandywine, and Jessica May, deputy director and chief curator at the PMA.
There's a lot of Maine in "New Perspectives."
One of the knock-out paintings is "Dark Harbor Fishermen" from 1943, an egg tempera owned by the PMA since 1963 and a showpiece of the museum ever since. Wyeth's perspective is from atop a fishing pier, looking down into a group of fishermen and their skiffs and dories, as they scoop herring into bushels of bait. Gulls flock on the water and in the air, ready for food. Wyeth captures the energy of the activity, among both the fishermen and the gulls, while presenting the water as a dark, flat and static surface. There's no visible emotion in the men – they all have their heads down, looking away from the viewer and intent in their work – but Wyeth captures their physical character and their movements.
Because of the familiarity of Portland audiences with "Dark Harbor Fishermen," the discussion about whether Wyeth was a fine-art painter may feel moot, May said. "We have a privileged view of N.C. Wyeth because so many of his greatest paintings were made in direct inspiration of his home on the coast," she said.
Another knock-out Maine painting is "Island Funeral," also an egg tempera, from 1939. Like "Dark Harbor Fishermen," it's a top-down view – this time, a bird's-eye view – of a procession of sailboats and motorboats around a small island in tribute to a neighbor who had died. The colors of the water are brilliant aqua blue, achieved with newly developed pigments that Wyeth had been experimenting with, and the sky is expansive, cloud-filled and dark.
The painting offers commentary about coastal communities and American life and perspective on what was then perceived as man's insignificance relative to nature. The island's natural force dominates this painting above all. "Island Funeral" also says something about changing times, in content and execution, with power boats joining a procession of what traditionally had been sailboats and Wyeth's use of modern paints to achieve his vision. May called "Island Funeral" an "extraordinary visual achievement and astounding modern accomplishment."
The painting had been in private hands for many years, and was given to the Brandywine in 2017. May hangs it side by side with "Dark Harbor Fishermen" so visitors can appreciate both together as examples of Wyeth's prowess as a serious artist and to show Maine's influence on his vision.
"Black Spruce Ledge" with its electric-blue sky and rippling white clouds reflecting on the water, and "The Lobsterman," depicting a solitary figure standing and leaning forward as he powers his dory through cresting waves on the strength of his oars, also speak to Maine's beauty and the strength and character of its people.
The exhibition includes several of his commissioned illustrations for Scribner's and other publishers. There are book illustrations from "The Last of the Mohicans," "The Boy's King Arthur" and "The Mysterious Island," and heroic paintings from World War I and the Civil War, and the mysterious autobiographical "In A Dream I Meet General Washington," showing the painter greeting the general on his mount during the Battle of Brandywine, which occurred near Wyeth's Pennsylvania home. N.C. Wyeth places his son Andrew in the painting, foreshadowing a dream motif that grandson Jamie has continued and perfected.
There's a portrait of his mother, a trio of self-portraits and architectural paintings of his grandfather's house and his home in Maine.
Wyeth painted hundreds of magazine covers and advertisements for commercial products. His timing was perfect. Advances in paints and printing processes meant his illustrations benefited from high-quality reproductions, and the various movements that surfaced in American art fueled his creative desire. His commercial success made him a rich man, enabling him to purchase his home in Maine and avail himself of Maine's inspirational forces.
There are stylist differences between his commercial work and the paintings he did to satisfy his artistic desires. He bounced back and forth between both, making grand statements with his epic illustrations that he executed in an assured narrative style, while also exploring representational painting, Impressionism and occasionally pointillism and cubism in his other work. The exhibition has examples of all that.
"New Perspectives" makes the case that Wyeth was, as May says, "a great experimenter of styles in the first half of the 20th century. He was a master of so many modes of painting, it's just unbelievable."
And yet, he was unhappy with his career. He complained about being "backed into" illustration. May wonders if his disillusionment was based on reality or demons in his head. He suffered from insecurity, and there were questions about the circumstances of his death. Did his vehicle stall on the tracks? Did he suffer a heart attack? Could it have been suicide? The division in his work was real, May said, but perhaps not as severe as he made it out to be.
"One of the things I have learned from this project – and this is so human – on some level he set up for himself this dramatic divide. It's not that it wasn't a strong divide and he wasn't shut out of artistic circles, but it's possible he made that divide bigger in his own head than other people might have seen it at the time," May said. "I don't want it to sound like he made it up. He was perceiving a very real thing. But he had a lot of opportunities, and he was one of the most famous artists in America when he died."
His death was national news. Wyeth was seen as a monumental painter, whose interests covered a sweep of American history and ideology, from Colonial times to Westward expansion to modernism. He emulated Frederick Remington, studied with Howard Pyle and influenced generations of illustrators.
With the perspective of time, it's apparent how Wyeth's view of the world and how he perceived himself in it were informed by his personal background and homogeny. He lived in a very white world, and the only people of color in this exhibition are those from the pages of "The Last of the Mohicans." Many of his heroes are conquerors.

Reviewing this exhibition at the Brandywine, critic Philip Kennicott wrote in the Washington Post, "But whiteness wasn't just the absence of color. White people — meaning, people of Northern European extraction — were felt to embody a set of virtues and character traits, which are lovingly detailed in Wyeth's imaginative landscapes."
He notes that in a Wyeth illustration for James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans," there are three men in a canoe. Two are Native Americans, seated with paddles. The other is a white man, standing over them with a gun.
Co-curator Podmaniczky suggests in a catalog essay that Wyeth was "codifying" the views of millions of American in his imagery, and his paintings reflected his times. Said May, "I think it's OK to acknowledge the whiteness of the world that he lived in and painted."
In its display, the PMA will include wall text from scholars, including several with expertise in indigenous issues, who will offer their views of and responses to the work. Their commentary will be displayed alongside that of the curators, May said. "With those early paintings of native people, we had to think deeply what they meant and what it means to show them in that context in these times."
She expects "New Perspectives" will deliver exactly what its title suggests.

We've been hard-core IKEA fans since our conception over a decade ago. And in true hoarder fashion we've saved all our IKEA catalogues, holding onto them as the relics of interior decor that they are.
As you can imagine the launch of the new IKEA catalogue is kinda the highlight of our year (we don't get out much). Naturally we had to jump up on the 2017 IKEA catalogue buzz and have our unsolicited two cents - original no?
The darling of the IKEA catalogue 2017 is without a doubt the Vallentuna sofa - a multifunctional modular masterpiece with endless personalisation options and combinations. And yet more to come; Bemz has launched slipcovers for the IKEA Vallentuna sofa, with the choice of 300+ fabrics the sky quite literally is the limit. Get crafty - mix and match patterns and hues for an eclectic on-trend style statement.
The epitome of urban living, IKEA's Lixhult modular storage units will work colour-popping wonders in any room. Stack 'em up; mix 'em up to create a unique look. We don't know about you but this NYC-style studio-livin' situation they've got going here is definitely on our real estate wish list. Any takers?
And while we're on the subject of organisation - this lofty Elvarli storage system makes our inner OCD weak at the knees.
IKEA proves that rocking chairs are seriously rockin' and no longer your granny's domain. With its minimal lines and vintage rattan detailing we wouldn't be surprised if the Grönadal rocking chair is featured in every major, envy-inducing interior reportage.
Stickers are no longer remnants of childhood. Elevate your wall gallery game with IKEA's Klättra decoration stickers and wall collage frames. Photographs, artwork and odd knick-knacks take the centre stage with a sophisticated twist.
Up the ante with a dose of drama, moody shades of ink and graphite have dominated the interior design scene as of late. We're all on-board this trend, and so is IKEA apparently. The IKEA Kalvia add-on fronts are the brainchild of fashion designer and artist Martin Bergström. Add these bold graphic motifs to your kitchen, sideboard or storage unit repertoire.
We'd love to know what your favourite pieces are from the new IKEA 2017 catalogue. Tell us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.


This recipe for Ricotta cheese, by Julia Little, is from The Not So Little Family Cookbook , one of the cookbooks created at FamilyCookbookProject.com. We help families or individuals create heirloom cookbook treasures.
1. Line colander with butter muslin or triple layer of cheese cloth and place in sink. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in liquid measuring cup and set aside. Heat milk and salt in a Dutch oven over medium heat stirring frequently with a silicone spatula to prevent scorching until milk reaches 185 º.
2. Remove pot from heat and slowly stir in the lemon juice and vinegar until fully incorporated and mixture curdles about 15 seconds. Let sit undisturbed 10 minutes. If curds do not fully separate and there is still milky whey add additional vinegar 1 tablespoon at a time and let it set for 2-3 minutes.
3. Gently pour mixture into the prepared colander. Let drain undisturbed until whey has drained from the edges of cheese, but center is still very moist, about 8 minutes. Working quickly gently transfer cheese to large bowl retaining as much whey in center of cheese as possible. Stir well to break up large curds and incorporate the whey. Refrigerate ricotta until cold, about 2 hours Stir cheese before using.
note:This makes a nice spread on crostini, but if you want to use this cheese for lasagna let more whey drain out so it is a bit drier.

I really don't want summer to end and I am doing what I can to keep it going just a little bit longer. I made this recipe to embody what a summer dish should be like: fresh, light, and bright.
It's really a simple dish to throw together, I created it because I was trying to use up the ripe fresh produce I had laying around. This salad has a mango, avocado, a couple limes and some shrimp. Then I tossed in some micro-greens; that I get delivered weekly with my other fresh greens, and my husband and I were really surprised how fresh and delicious it was, so I had to re-create it!
Most grocery stores now days sell micro-greens. If you can't find them you could shred some romaine lettuce or leave them out and you have a mango shrimp salsa.
If you have never cut a mango before, they have a long oval shaped seed that runs the length of the fruit. Check out this great tutorial from Mango.org on how to cut a mango. There are many other ways, but if this is your first time try their methods.
Shrimp marinade: in a gallon size bag, add the shrimp, juice of 1 lime, 3 Tbs. of olive oil, minced garlic, cayenne, salt and pepper. Let it all sit together in the refrigerator for a minimum of 10 minutes, but not longer than 30 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, prep all other ingredients: peel and cube the mango and avocado, and tomatoes, and juice the lime.
Cook shrimp in 2 Tbs. of olive or coconut oil for about 4-5 minutes on medium-low heat. You want them to no longer be translucent.
Take shrimp out and cut them into bite size pieces (I cut them into thirds).
In a large bowl mix together the mango, tomato, second lime, salt pepper and 1 Tbs. of olive oil.
If serving immediately mix in cubed avocado and micro greens. If not serving immediately wait until serving the dish to add the avocado and micro greens because they are delicate and will wilt and the avocado may brown.
Shrimp cooked up perfectly. You can even use this marinade for tacos.
What is one of your favorite summer time recipes that are light, bright, and fresh?

PC live!
Company Pop Chorus
Singing as a group is a very powerful bonding experience and has been recognised as a useful team building tool within business (did you see the BBC Gareth Malone series 'Sing while you work'?). If you'd like to explore the possibility of running a one-off workshop for your staff or even starting a regular company Pop Chorus, please get in touch.
Day workshops and weekend courses
Yula runs annual workshops, focussing on vocal techniques and exploring specialist areas. Keep an eye out for the next sessions.
Singing for health and happiness
Yula regularly runs singing sessions for health and happiness. She is available to give talks and demonstrations on the health benefits of singing and run ad hoc singing sessions for anyone who might be interested. Past groups have helped people with dementia, Parkinson's, Down's Syndrome and learning disabilities, as well as disadvantaged youngsters and groups of older singers in residential homes.
She also runs a friendly and fun singing group – Memories Through Music – in Otley, 2-3.30pm on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month – we sing for about an hour and then chat and eat cake, what's not to love?! Currently we welcome people with memory problems to attend with their carers, but the group would also suit those with Parkinson's, people recovering from illness, stroke and palsy sufferers and older people who'd just enjoy a good sing, tea, cake and company… We sing all sorts of things, from Doris Day to My Fair Lady and from Sinatra to the Beatles! Contact Yula direct by phone or email for more information or just turn up for a warm welcome.
Health and Happiness group – 2-4pm every Monday in Otley, this group is open to anyone who feels they would benefit from the opportunity to sing in a friendly, unpressured environment as part of a group.

Drive-By by William Reynolds
The sixth novel in the acclaimed Nebraska series, "one of the most refreshing additions to the ranks of hard-boiled detectives," Publishers Weekly.
When Darius LeClerc, the nephew of one of Nebraska's old friends, is gunned down on an Omaha street, it appears to be just another random, drive-by gang shooting. But Nebraska believes Darius was intentionally targeted and isn't willing to let it go. He teams up with the boy's uncle to discover the motive…and find the killers. It's a dangerous quest that takes them into Omaha's alleys and backstreets, and into the dark, brutal heart of urban gang violence.

Guilt Enough to Go Around: Three Nebraska P.I. Stories
For Nebraska, the Omaha-based private detective and hopeful mystery writer, things are seldom as straightforward as they first appear. These three stories, featuring characters from the internationally published series of novels that began with The Nebraska Quotient (nominated for a Shamus Award by the Private Eye Writer of America), illustrate the determination, resourcefulness, and, sometimes, deliberate rejection of common sense that drive Nebraska toward the ultimate truth—whether he likes it or not.

Trump blasts Democrats' abortion extremism: Unborn children are 'made in holy image of God'
Trump slammed abortion, infanticide in his 2019 State of the Union address.
Wed Feb 6, 2019 - 8:34 am EST

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 5, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – President Donald Trump used his State of the Union address Tuesday evening to deliver an affirmation of the right to life and a forceful denunciation of recent extreme actions and statements by pro-abortion Democrats in New York and Virginia.
"There could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days. Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments before birth," Trump said (full comments below).
"These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and dreams with the world. And then, we had the case of the governor of Virginia where he stated he would execute a baby after birth," he added.
Trump was referring to video that went viral last week of Democrat Del. Kathy Tran admitting her bill to liberalize Virginia's late-term abortion laws would allow abortions just as a woman is about to give birth, followed by Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam suggesting that a born-alive "infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired." He later claimed he was only referring to cases such as a "nonviable pregnancy" or "severe fetal abnormalities."
Tran's bill has already been tabled, but the controversy intensified a discussion of the extremes at which Democrats and their allies have arrived on abortion, which was already underway in response to New York's recently-enacted law declaring a "fundamental right" to abortion and erased the state's recognition of preborn babies as potential homicide victims.
Trump called on Congress to pass legislation to protect unborn children.
"To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother's womb," the president said. "Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: all children—born and unborn—are made in the holy image of God."
Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser said Trump's comments on abortion proved once again that "he is our nation's most pro-life president ever and he is keeping his promise to the voters who fueled his victory."
"The contrast between President Trump's vision for the future and that of the Democratic Party, now dominated by abortion extremists, is stark," she said. "Senate Democrats had the chance yesterday to prove they are not the party of infanticide, and instead they doubled down on a radical agenda of abortion on demand through birth and even beyond. That position that is simply irreconcilable with the values of the American people."
"We ask Congress to heed President Trump's request, and to send the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to his desk without delay," she continued. "This popular, compassionate legislation would protect unborn babies after five months – more than halfway through pregnancy, and a point at least by which these children can feel the pain of abortion."
It was reported before the address that the president would use it as an opportunity to discuss abortion, a focus NARAL preemptively condemned as a "race to the bottom of their most depraved and devastating ideologies." Trump reportedly expressed particular disgust for Northam's infanticide comments Monday evening during a White House briefing with pro-life and pro-family leaders.
As Trump delivered his remarks, Planned Parenthood president Leana Wen listened in the audience, attending as a guest of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Chosen to succeed Cecile Richards partly on the theory that her medical background could help reinforce Planned Parenthood's narrative that it's a "healthcare" provider, Wen instead undermined that message last month by admitting the group's "core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care."

Demised Bill Cosby Receives Massive Backlash After Making Emotional Statement About Aretha Franklins- Fans Shocked At His Audacity
On August 16th, the Queen of Soul and one of the most iconic female vocalist in history died. Aretha Franklin has passed away from pancreatic cancer. She was 76.
News of Aretha's dealing health surfaced on August 13th, just two days before her death. In a simple tweet, her friend and newscaster, Evrod Cassidy, shared that Aretha was gravely ill an that her death was imminent.
https://twitter.com/EvrodCassimy/status/1028979089070284800
Aretha was believed to be battling cancer and after years of shying away from a diagnosis or health concerns at all- it was confirmed that she had had Pancreatic cancer. In her final days, TMZ reported that Aretha was only 85 pounds.
Since the original announcement made by Evrod, Aretha was comforted by millions of prayers and the company of her family as well as some extraordinary riends. Since her passing, her loyal fan club has shown immense support to the Queen of Soul's legacy.
But one fan and fellow celebrity's tribute was not so well-received by onlookers. Bill Cosby received massive amounts of backlash after tweeted a simple tribute to Aretha. The formerly beloved star wrote: Aretha Franklin – I want to thank her for her beautiful voice singing the theme song of "A Different World." She made a big, strong positive impact on that series."
https://twitter.com/BillCosby/status/1030115834482642945?
He continued to honor the Queen of Should by saying: "I am playing a cut from her CD – the title of the song is "Wholy Holy" – and she's live in a church. Bon Voyage….. Bill Cosby In Person."
https://twitter.com/BillCosby/status/1030115911062183947
Social media followers attacked Bill for his statements and claimed that she should be in jail. The comedian was officially found guilty of several accounts of sexual assault in April 2018.
While several took to Twitter to call him out for "tweeting from jail," Cosby kept the tweets visible. He is expected to be sentenced on September 24th, 2018.
