America's oldest bank is eager to capitalize on the cryptocurrency revolution but remains concerned that the government still has not provided regulatory clarity. According to a new Bloomberg report, Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon) chief financial officer Emily Portney says the holding company expects digital assets to act as a significant revenue […]

Regulatory uncertainty and tighter monetary policies continue to weigh on BTC price, but data shows bulls are attempting to provoke a reversal.
Bitcoin (BTC) investors seem uncomfortable with adding positions after the most recent 40% correction from the $69,000 all-time high made on Nov. 10. In addition to the prolonged downtrend, remarks from the United States Federal Reserve on Dec. 15 about rising interest rates are also weighing on risk-on assets.
The Fed signaled that it could raise its benchmark rate three times this year and there are plans to increase the pace of its asset purchasing taper.
Consequently, traders are worried that these plans will negatively impact traditional and crypto markets because liquidity will no longer be "easily" available.

Cryptoasset regulation in the U.S. has recently been in the spotlight and recently a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Investor Advisory Committee called for the agency to open public comments regarding digital asset regulation.
On Jan. 18, associate law professor J.W. Verret addressed the petition to SEC Secretary Vanessa Countryman and according to Verret, the current path the SEC is taking seems not to recognize that digital assets do not fit within the regulatory framework designed for equity investments.
The professor also questioned what requirements the SEC would consider in approving a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund.
$590 million in options expire on Friday
Even though Bitcoin is said to be correlated to traditional markets, BTC derivatives traders were not expecting sub-$44,000 prices according to the Jan. 21 options expiry. Friday's $590 million open interest will allow bears to score up to $82 million if BTC trades below $41,000 during the expiry.

At first sight, the $380 million call (buy) options vastly surpass the $210 million put (sell) instruments, but the 1.81 call-to-put ratio is deceptive because the recent price drop will likely wipe out most of the bullish bets.
There is no value in the right to buy Bitcoin at $44,000 if it is trading below that price. Therefore, if Bitcoin remains below $44,000 at 8:00 am UTC on Jan. 21, only $64 million of those call (buy) options will be available at the expiry.
Bears are comfortable with Bitcoin price below $42,000
Here are the four most likely scenarios for Friday's $590 million options expiry. The imbalance favoring each side represents the theoretical profit. In other words, depending on the expiry price, the active quantity of call (buy) and put (sell) contracts varies:
Between $40,000 and $41,000: 30 calls vs. 3,320 puts. The net result is $132 million favoring the put (bear) options.
Between $41,000 and $42,000: 170 calls vs. 2,180 puts. The net result is $82 million favoring the put (bear) instruments.
Between $42,000 and $44,000: 1,480 calls vs. 1,130 puts. The net result is balanced between call and put options.
Between $44,000 and $45,000: 2,980 calls vs. 630 puts. The net result favors call (bull) instruments by $103 million.
This crude estimate considers put options being used in bearish bets and call options exclusively in neutral-to-bullish trades. However, this oversimplification disregards more complex investment strategies.
Bulls need $44,000 to bag a $103 million profit
Regulatory uncertainty and Federal Reserve monetary policies might be reasons for the recent market weakness, but a mere 5% price pump from the current $42,000 level is enough for Bitcoin bulls to profit $103 million in Friday's expiry.
However, if the current short-term negative sentiment prevails, bears could easily pressure the price below $41,000 and pocket $132 million gains.
Currently, options markets data slightly favor the put (sell) options, but the outcome is yet to be seen.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is focusing on bringing cryptocurrency exchanges "inside the investor protection remit," Chairman Gary Gensler has revealed. "If the trading platforms don't come into the regulated space, it'd be another year of the public being vulnerable," he stressed. SEC Focusing on Regulating Crypto Exchanges The chairman of the U.S. […]
The commission rejected a rule change allowing listing and trading shares of the First Trust SkyBridge Bitcoin ETF Trust, citing similar reasons for disapproving Bitcoin spot ETFs from VanEck in November and WisdomTree in December.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, has officially disapproved the application for First Trust SkyBridge's spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund after several deferments.
In a Thursday filing, the SEC rejected a proposed rule change from the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, Arca to list and trade shares of the First Trust SkyBridge Bitcoin ETF Trust. The SEC said any rule change in favor of approving the ETF would not be "'designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices" nor "protect investors and the public interest."
The decision follows SkyBridge first applying to list a Bitcoin ETF on the NYSE in March 2021. The SEC twice designated a longer period to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change for the ETF in July and November before reaching its decision today.
In its rejection, the SEC said that the NYSE had not met the requirements of listing a financial product under its rules of practice as well as those of the Exchange Act. Under these restrictions, exchanges seeking to list a BTC ETF need to have "a comprehensive surveillance-sharing agreement with a regulated market of significant size related to the underlying or reference bitcoin assets."
The NYSE Arca used a $10 million market order example to claim that buying and selling large amounts of Bitcoin (BTC) would have an "insignificant market impact." The exchange also hinted at Tesla's $1.5 billion BTC purchase in February as an example of gaining exposure to crypto through the company's shares, arguing for the need for a different investment vehicle with exposure to BTC as opposed to "imperfect bitcoin proxies" which provide only "partial bitcoin exposure paired with additional risks."
The commission rejected these claims, citing similar reasons for disapproving Bitcoin spot ETFs from asset manager VanEck in November and WisdomTree in December. To date, the SEC has not approved any ETF with direct exposure to crypto, but has given the greenlight to offerings linked to BTC futures, including ones from ProShares and Valkyrie.

A separate decision for a Bitcoin ETF application from the New York Digital Investment Group, or NYDIG, is expected by March 16. The application is still under review after being delayed on Jan. 15.
The SEC has issued $2.4B in crypto-related penalties since 2013
According to a new report, the SEC has launched a total of 97 actions against crypto players since 2013, 20 of which happened in 2021 alone.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a total of approximately $2.35 billion in penalties against participants in the digital asset marketplace since 2013 according to a Jan 19 report by Cornerstone Research.
The report, SEC Cryptocurrency Enforcement: 2021 Update, found that the SEC brought a total of 97 enforcement actions worth $2.35 billion between 2013 and the end of 2021.
Fifty eight of the total of 97 were actions litigations and the remaining 39 were administrative proceedings. Of the total $2.35 billion raised by the litigations, $1.71 billion was charged in litigation and $640 million in administrative proceedings.

The majority of those charged were "firm respondents only," racking up $1.86 billion of the total $2.35 billion. Meanwhile, individual respondents were charged the remaining $490 million.
Although the SEC doled out the first monetary penalty against a crypto participant in July 2013, the report points out that SEC-initiated litigation in the crypto space didn't begin to pick up until 2017. Between 2013 and 2017, there was only a total of six SEC-initiated crypto cases.
The agency launched 20 of the total 97 actions in 2021 – 14 litigation actions in U.S. federal courts and six administrative proceedings. Of the 20 total enforcement actions, 70% were related to initial coin offerings (ICOs). The report states:
"Of the 20 enforcement actions brought in 2021, 65% alleged fraud, 80% alleged an unregistered securities offering violation, and 55% alleged both."
The report's author Simona Mola wrote in a statement that the SEC's recent crackdown on crypto may be linked to the appointment of SEC chair Gary Gensler in April 2021, noting that SEC enforcement had been "notably high" between the end of May and mid-September.
"The SEC brought some first-of-a-kind actions against a crypto lending platform, an unregistered digital asset exchange, and a decentralized finance (DeFi) lender. It also imposed one of the largest monetary penalties we have seen in an ICO-related enforcement action after Telegram," she wrote.

Cornerstone Research vice president Abe Chernin said that we can expect these tough measures to continue into the new year.
"Given the SEC's continued focus on this space, in 2022 we may see further scrutiny of certain market participants such as DeFi platforms."
In the last week of Dec 2021, Gensler added a new staff member Corey Frayer to help advise the agency's oversight of cryptocurrencies. This came in the wake of news that Elad Roisman would be leaving his position as SEC board member.
SEC Advisory Committee member calls agency to open for public comment on crypto regulation
"This open call for comment is the only way to appropriately crowd source this issue and appropriately develop a digital asset regulation Genesis Block," said J.W. Verret.
Associate law professor and member of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Investor Advisory Committee J.W. Verret is calling for the government agency to open for public comment in regards to digital asset regulation.
In a petition addressed to SEC Secretary Vanessa Countryman, Verret said opening the floor to comments on digital assets could function as a Genesis Block for the SEC to reform its regulations on digital assets. Verret said he was a holder of Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and "a number of layer 1 and layer 2 tokens readily available on top tier exchanges," and was concerned how the SEC could potentially crack down on tokens it currently does not consider securities.
"Under the SEC's 'strategically ambiguous' interpretation of the Howey test regarding classification of investment contracts, I cannot be certain that the SEC will not in the future target one of my token holdings, under the guise of the Commission's investor protection mission, in a manner that would ultimately cause me significant losses as a property owner," said Verret. "This open call for comment is the only way to appropriately crowd source this issue and appropriately develop a digital asset regulation Genesis Block."
I filed a reg petition with the SEC to open a call for public comment re: digital asset regulation. There are nuances that SEC ignores in their speeches and "Howey" threats. Let's crowd source this and start a genesis block for 21st century reg. https://t.co/lZQXPeqq93
— Prof. J.W. Verret, JD, CPA/CFF, CVA, CFE (@JWVerret) January 18, 2022
Since the 1940s, the SEC has used the Howey Test to determine whether certain assets qualify as "investment contracts" and are considered securities. Many experts consider the SEC's 2017 DAO Report, in which it said that digital assets could indeed qualify, as one of the most significant regulatory moments for cryptocurrencies in the United States.
Citing his experience as a law professor, Verret implied that the SEC's application of the Howey Test on digital assets was inconsistent from the language used in the Supreme Court decision, potentially leading to cases that could result in the highest court overturning the 1946 case:
"The SEC's present course appears to be one designed to strategically bring cases using the Howey test as a weapon against tokens (and token trading services and technologies) which cannot reasonably be registered as securities (or securities exchanges) under the regulations promulgated pursuant to the '33 and '34 Acts, even if they wanted to and were required to do so (despite neither necessarily being true). I believe this is ultimately a losing strategy for the SEC as an institution."
According to Verret, the current regulatory path the SEC is taking seems not to recognize that "digital assets, by their very design, do not fit within the classic framework of regulations designed for equity investments in firms led by boards of directors." The law professor also criticized SEC chair Gary Gensler's approach of asking crypto projects to "come in and talk to us," saying many could be concerned that "engaging with the SEC may make their project the next enforcement target of the SEC."
In his call for the SEC to open for public comment "to establish a core Digital Asset Regulation Genesis Block," Verret suggested having the agency address investor protections around crypto, where blockchain-based tokens in decentralized projects could fall within current securities regulations, how federal securities laws might take into account "unique aspects of token offerings," and Commissioner Hester Peirce's proposal for a three-year safe harbor for certain crypto projects. In addition, he called for a question on what requirements the SEC will consider in approving a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund.

While the agency has given the green light to BTC futures-linked ETFs, it has repeatedly rejected applications from companies seeking ETFs with direct exposure to crypto. ProShares launched the first BTC futures-linked ETF in the United States on the New York Stock Exchange in October, with a similar crypto investment product from Valkyrie later launching on the Nasdaq.
"All five SEC Commissioners have a unique opportunity to stake this development with their own priorities via the design of the call for comment," said Verret. "This Digital Asset Reg Genesis Block can commence an interactive process that can make securities regulation more flexible, more robust, and ultimately better protect investors."

A third of Americans to buy Bitcoin by end of 2022, says Ric Edelman
The future's bright for Bitcoin according to Ric Edelman, founder of financial advisory outfit Edelman Financial Engines.
Bitcoin bull and founder of Edelman Financial Engines Ric Edelman has made some promising predictions about the future of the seminal cryptocurrency.
In an interview on CNBC program ETF Edge on Jan. 10, Edelman said:
"We're already at a quarter of that number with 24% of Americans owning Bitcoin. It won't be that much of a stretch for it to get to one-third. Bitcoin is becoming more and more mainstream. People are hearing about it everywhere–it isn't going away."
While 2022 got off to a rocky start, In his view, governments corporations, foundations, pension funds are investing in BTC: "there is major institutional involvement."
As the author of soon-to-be-released "The Truth about Crypto," Edelman is a long-standing crypto proponent. In 2019, he described Bitcoin as the first "genuinely new asset class" in 150 years, and back in December 2018, he recommended that investors load up on the orange coin.
In a follow-up interview with CNBC yesterday, he lamented that while he has predicted a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) for the past seven years, he's convinced that by 2023, there will be spot ETF approval.
Similar to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce's thoughts on the matter, Edelman articulates that the SEC is running out of excuses to say no:
"A lot of the concerns the SEC has have been resolved by the industry through their own maturity, innovation and development. I am confident that we will see the SEC say yes because there is no legitimate reason for them not to."
Matthew Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management agreed with him in the second interview.
Related: Crypto mainstream adoption: Is it here already? Experts answer, Part 1
Hougan stated that there would be even more investor protections and a better product thanks to the "cumulative weight of the evidence that will force them to move forward with approval." Consumer protection provided by an SEC-run ETF is the cherry on top of a slick product.
ETF speculation aside, Edelman is clairvoyant about the banality of Nakomoto's invention in the future. He summed it up succinctly; Bitcoin is "going to be as common in the next couple of years as any other portion of a portfolio."

> Explosion 1812
Explosion 1812
This brand new documentary, presented by historian Dan Snow, uses dramatic reconstruction, captivating CGI and archaeological evidence in exploring the stories and the battles in the war between the United States and the then British colony of Upper Canada in 1812.
Convinced they would be welcomed with open arms, the former president Thomas Jefferson declared that victory would be a 'mere matter of marching'. However, it didn't turn out that way...
One year into the war - after the Americans had faced a series of bloody encounters on the battlefield - the United States attacked York, the capital of Upper Canada. In the present day, York is now known as Toronto in Ontario, home to five million people and with very little evidence of the muddy settlement it once was. However, it was here that the British defenders of Fort York detonated their Grand Magazine.
The Grand Magazine was an armoury packed to the rafters with much of the province's ammunition supply, including nearly 30,000 pounds of gun powder, together with 10,000 cannonballs and 30,000 cartridges. At the time it was one of the biggest explosions that had ever been witnessed in North America and more than 250 American soldiers were either killed or maimed by the blast.
It set in motion a series of events that would change the fate of a continent.

New York socked by blizzard
By Sally Goldenberg
December 26, 2010 | 4:04pm
It's the Great White Way — from one end of the city to the other.
Winter's first blizzard blew into town with gale-force winds and an expected two feet of snow — stymieing travelers and sending city workers out in droves to manage the mess.
"It's hard to stand up in a 55-mile-an-hour wind, and particularly when the ground under your feet is slippery, so this really is dangerous," a sneezing and coughing Mayor Bloomberg said hours after Old Man Winter began to deliver his belated Christmas gift.
SEE THE PHOTOS
Nearly 1,500 metro-area flights were canceled, JFK Airport closed, Amtrak service between New York and Boston was iced, and the roadways were a mess — but Bloomberg insisted the city was doing "everything we can … to keep our roads safe and clear."
Still, subways were getting hammered with snow delays, as were Long Island Railroad trains.
AccuWeather predicted that up to two feet of snow would fall before the two-day blizzard goes away.
But there's just a snowball's chance in hell that New York City's all-time two-day snowfall record —26.9 inches, set Feb. 11-12, 2006 — might melt.
"I think it's going to fall a little short of that record — maybe a 10 percent chance you could get there," said AccuWeather meteorologist Erik Pindrock.
Even if it's not snowing by this afternoon, New Yorkers will set get hit in the face with white stuff.
"The wind will blow it around for much of the day," Pindrock said.
In Philadelphia, the storm prompted a rare postponement for the NFL.
Last night's scheduled game between the Eagles and Vikings was moved to tomorrow night.
And on the day after Christmas, when stores expect shoppers back for returns and sales, residents were cruising Home Depot for shovels instead.
"Two thousand shovels just sold out in the last two hours," said an employee at the Home Depot on Woodhaven Boulevard in Forest Hills, Queens.
The city got busy as well, with more than 2,400 Sanitation Department workers reporting early for long shifts to clean highways, bus routes and all 6,000 miles of city streets.
Sanitation deployed 365 salt spreaders and 1,700 snow plows, the mayor said; and 180,000 tons of salt at 30 locations were at the ready.
The FDNY went into overdrive as well, the mayor said. All 198 engine crews got a fifth person for their regular rigs.
As a result of the blizzard:
*Alternate-side parking rules were suspended.
*There were minor power outages in the city, but on Long Island, thousands of people were in the dark.
*Metro-North will be on a Sunday schedule today, the Long Island Rail Road will be on a holiday schedule, and the Staten Island Ferry will run on its weekend rush-hour schedule. NJ Transit will run on a weekend schedule.
*Alliance for Downtown New York's fleet of red-coated clean-up crews will clear streets and sidewalks around Wall Street before rush hour.
*Parks will sponsor "snow day" activities at Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Manhattan's Riverside Park, the Bronx's Crotona Park, Queens' Juniper Valley Park and Staten Island's Clove Lakes Park.
Tourists were delighted by the storm.
"We came to New York wanting a white Christmas and we got it!" exclaimed Juliet Nota, 42, of Perth, Australia, as she visited the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
Madrid visitor Luis Gomez, 28, also was enthralled.
"I think if it's this cold out, it might as well be snowing … We're having a great time," he said.
The mayor said costs be damned for the clean-up.
"We're going to plow the snow, clean the streets and then worry about how to pay for it," he said.
"Given our budget crisis, the cost of one snowstorm is very small."

7 Best Movies to Watch by Mads Mikkelsen
actor › Mads Mikkelsen
1. The Hunt, 2012, 2013
It comes as no surprise that former Bond villain Mads Mikkelsen won Best Actor in Cannes for delivering on this challenging role. In this merciless thriller by Danish director Thomas Vinterberg, the ice-eyed actor plays Lucas, an out-of-luck high school teacher struggling to start a new life. After a bitter divorce, he returns to the close-knit community he grew up in to work as a kindergarten teacher.
A few weeks before Christmas, a child from his class, who has an innocent crush on the popular teacher, hints to a colleague that he had exposed himself to her. The young girl's intimation galvanizes the small hunter's town into a witch-hunt that leaves Lucas' life hanging from a string. Trapped in the lies, the more he fights back, the more irrational the mob becomes. In all its brutal honesty, The Hunt is one of those rare thrillers that will haunt you for days. Extraordinary and thought-provoking!
2. After the Wedding, 2006
Danish films somehow have a unique approach to emotions that are rarely matched and this Susanne Bier-directed drama is no exception. Its protagonist is Jacob Peterson, a driven idealist played by Mads Mikkelsen, who runs a fledgling orphanage in India. Close to giving up, Peterson returns to Copenhagen to meet a billionaire, who is offering to fund his charity project. However, there is a dark secret at the heart of this relationship, throwing Peterson into disarray. This elegant and Academy-Award-nominated Danish film has it all: fantastic cast, great direction, and a few special ingredients that turn a good drama into a thrilling one!
3. Open Hearts, 2002
Joachim and Ceilie are engaged to be married when a car crash leaves the former paralyzed. While Joachim recovers in the hospital, Ceilie becomes entangled with his doctor—who also happens to be the husband of the woman who caused Joachim's accident. What transpires after is not unlike a car crash itself: gut-wrenching to watch, impossible to look away from.
Although the film's premise toes the line of melodrama, Susanne Bier handles the characters with extraordinary care. Elsker dig for evigt (Open Hearts) boasts incredible performances from its core cast of four, with Mads Mikkelsen and Paprika Steen particularly shining. This is not an easy nor feel-good movie to sit through, but its unflinching gaze at complicated characters in a tragic situation makes for a rewarding journey.
4. Another Round, 2020
Director Thomas Vinterberg (The Hunt) reunites with Mads Mikkelsen to tell the story of four teachers going through a mid-life crisis. They're not sad, exactly—they have homes and jobs and are good friends with each other—but they're not happy either. Unlike the ebullient youth they teach, they seem to have lost their lust for life, and it's silently eating away at them, rendering them glassy-eyed and mechanic in their everyday lives.
Enter an experiment: what if, as one scholar suggests, humans were meant to fulfill a certain alcohol concentration in order to live as fully and present as possible? The teachers use themselves as the subjects and the tide slowly starts to turn to mixed effects. Are they actually getting better or worse?
With an always-satisfying performance by Mikkelsen and an instant classic of an ender, it's no surprise Another Round took home the award for Best Foreign Film in the 2020 Academy Awards.
5. Riders of Justice, 2020, 2021
Don't let the title and poster fool you—Riders of Justice isn't the testosterone-filled action flick you'd expect going in (though it does get ridiculous at some points). It centers on deployed military man Markus, played by the appropriately masculine Mads Mikkelsen, who has to return home to his teenage daughter Mathilde after his wife dies in an accident. Instead of coping normally and sticking with his daughter to get through the tragedy, he goes down a rabbit hole discovering how the accident that killed his wife is more than just bad luck and may have been collateral damage from a gang orchestrating an assassination.
Surprisingly, director Anders Thomas Jensen injects this violent film with a lot of gentle moments about trauma and togetherness. Mikkelsen and the rest of the cast play off of each other very well, using dark humor to bring together a bunch of characters who are, in oversimplified terms, "fucked up but trying their best."
It may seem like the guns, blood, and badass moments are a front for this film that, at its core, shows men who badly need therapy banding together to cope with the harshness of life. Extremely funny and deeply moving, it qualifies as a heartwarming Christmas movie, believe it or not.
6. Arctic, 2018
There are far too many things that are worse in life than being on a journey with Danish super talent Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, The Hunt).
And that is what this 98-minute movie is: an almost one-actor movie set in the arctic. Mikkelsen plays a man trying to survive a plane crash, which at some point becomes about deciding whether to embark on a dangerous journey or stay in the plane rubble and risk a slow death.
It's an extremely well-acted movie with nail-biting suspense. Bonus fact: it received a 10-minute standing ovation when it premiered at the Cannes film festival this year.

7. A Royal Affair, 2012
If you've been paying close attention to Royal Families in general, then get a snack and settle in, because A Royal Affair's got it all for you: the steamy scenes, dirty, affair-laden hands, the corsets, and a stunning backdrop of 18th Century Europe. Quite literally deranged and mentally incapable King Christian of Denmark (Mikkel Boe Folsgaard) marries the brave Princess Caroline of Great Britain (Alicia Vikander), only to find out that he isn't cut out for the wedded life. Enlightenment comes in the form of Dr. Johann Struensee (Mads Mikkelsen), a German physician to the infantile King and true-born reformer. Mostly saddened by her unfortunate fate, the now-Queen Caroline finds herself falling in love with the intellectual; thus, beginning a whirlwind of events that shakes up the entire Kingdom.

In the world of healthcare, information security is vital. Companies that deal with patient's personal health information must meet key healthcare regulations for securing all data. When health information was only on paper, security was as simple as using a locked file cabinet.

The HIPAA Security Rule is the first set of national standards for protecting digital health information. The goal of this rule is to protect digital information that identifies you, while still allowing healthcare providers access to the information they need.
The HITECH Act gives more severe penalties for not protecting data. Solera Health fully understands these rules and has added security to our digital storage of your health information. This makes Solera Health a leading Cloud Solutions Integrator in healthcare.

Robin van Persie set to join Fenerbahce from Manchester United for £4.7m
• Turkish club confident deal will be completed before end of week

Fenerbahce have reached agreement with Manchester United over the transfer of Robin van Persie to the Turkish club for a fee of £4.7m. As the Guardian reported last Saturday, the player had finalised terms over the move, and the two clubs have been locked in talks all week.
The Fenerbahce sporting director, Giuliano Terraneo, travelled to England to hold final discussions with United this week and the clubs expect the move to be completed before the end of the week.
On Thursday Fenerbahce released a statement to the Istanbul stock exchange confirming the talks with United. Van Persie, who is expected in Istanbul on Sunday, has been offered a three-year deal with an option for a further 12 months and will be the third forward United have lost this summer after the confirmation that Radamel Falcao, who spent last season on loan at Old Trafford, will play for Chelsea next season. Ángelo Henríquez has joined Dinamo Zagreb on a permanent deal after playing there on loan last season.
Wayne Rooney remains at the club, as does James Wilson, and United have already signed Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven. Javier Hernández was loaned out last season and it is uncertain whether he will be given a chance now.
Van Persie, meanwhile, will replace Dirk Kuyt as Fenerbahce's only Dutch player and the striker will become the highest earner at the club. The developments are similar to the Nani deal, which was completed on Sunday.
An agreement in principle with the 28-year-old winger was already in place before Terraneo flew out to Portugal to hold final talks with the player's agent, after which he struck a £4.3m deal with United. Terraneo was among the crowd that welcomed Nani to Istanbul and the Portuguese international said the Italian had been influential in the transfer process. "I am delighted to be here and want to thank the president and Terraneo for bringing me here," he said.
Nani's comments underline how important Terraneo has been in the club's flurry of transfer activity since the start of the window and marks a complete change in the club's footballing policy.
The Fenerbahce president, Aziz Yildirim, and the board have handed the 61-year-old Italian the reins on transfer policy. Traditionally Turkish presidents and boards have had a far more hands-on approach in the transfer process, with sporting directors serving merely as figureheads holding limited sway.
The former Lazio and Internazionale man became the first foreign sporting director at the club when he took charge at the end of last season but has already become a cult figure among the club's fans.
Fenerbahce have also completed the signings of the Lille centre-back Simon Kjaer, the Brazil international Josef de Souza from São Paulo, last season's Super Lig golden boot winner Fernandão and the Turkish international Sener Ozbayrakli.

You've Got 48 Hours and One Attempt to Kill This Target in Hitman
Ryan L. May 13, 2016 Comments Closed	News
The first Elusive Target in Hitman is now live, and you have less than two days of real-world time to deal with him.
Maybe the most interesting component of Hitman's "live content" so far, Elusive Targets present you with a person to assassinate in a limited window of time. Just as importantly, you only have a single attempt at doing so–you can't save your progress in the mission, meaning if you die or fail to deal with the target, you lose.
For this first Elusive Target, you'll be trying to take out an art forger by the name of Sergei Larin. He's located in the game's Paris level, and will only be sticking around until 9 AM PST on May 15. Once that time comes, he'll be gone for good.
Elusive Targets are described by the game's developer as "the closest thing to the Hitman fantasy that [it has] ever created." Larin, like other future targets, is a character custom-created for this limited-time mission.
This task is intended to be a real challenge, as you won't be able to use the usual trial-and-error techniques in finding ways to deal with Larin. Special rewards await those who complete multiple Elusive Targets; the first is Agent 47's suit from Hitman: Absolution, which is awarded after five completions, and then the suit from Blood Money after 10.

In February of 2008, Jamison, aka Teen Daze, spent seven weeks studying philosophy in a somewhat remote village in the Swiss Alps. His life became engulfed in books, as he spent his days sipping black tea, filling his mind with the teachings of great thinkers who had passed long before he was born, and staring off into the abyss of the mountains before him. During this time, he also discovered the importance of fiction; his evenings were either spent drinking wine with his friends or reading stories. One of the most profound stories that he read was a novel called "Out Of The Silent Planet" by legendary theologian and storyteller, C.S. Lewis. The story centers around Dr. Ransom, and the mystical, celestial journey that he takes to a new land. The part that resonated the most with him was the telling of Ransom's first encounters on this new planet, and his re-contextualizing to this new place, and this new environment. A new world was being created in Jamison's imagination, as he visualized what it must have looked like for Ransom.
Fast forward three years, and Jamison found himself re-located to his parents' big, mostly empty house, which rests neatly at the base of one of the most recognizable mountains in the Fraser Valley, Mt. Cheam. He began work on a group of songs dedicated to the beauty and monolithic qualities of this powerful natural landmark, when he found that his mind was taken back to Switzerland. "Out Of The Silent Planet" became a bit of a myth to him by this time, and he strangely began to hear it in the songs he was creating. The discovery, the awe, the feeling of helplessness in the face of such beauty and wonder reminded him of Ransom. He picked up "Out Of The Silent Planet" again and began to treat it as his musical guidebook; he began a soundtrack to his imagination's adaptation.
The six songs that appear on the EP are the result of many musical experiments, auditory accompaniments, and an attempt at a re-creation of Jamison's experiences with this novel. In order to do his visions justice, he couldn't simply write an electronic album, or a lo-fi pop album, or anything that he'd become known for. Teen Daze needed new sounds, and a new feel. Even though these songs may not resonate with those people who have come to admire his past works, he hopes that the listener will be able to see what he saw when writing and recording this album; that they'll be able to feel what it would be like to explore a vast a new place.

The USGA's special U.S. Open tributes to Arnold Palmer are outstanding
By Ryan Herrington
ERIN, Wis. — It was 57 years ago today that Arnold Palmer triumphantly rallied from seven strokes off the lead in the final round to capture his one and only U.S. Open title at Cherry Hills outside Denver. That classic moment in Open history is always worth remembering, but perhaps even more so this year with this being the first Open since the King's death last September.
To commemorate the victory, and honor Arnie, the USGA has pulled out a couple nice touches. The flag on the 18th hole at Erin Hills on Sunday for this year's U.S. Open is stitched with an image of the iconic moment where Palmer tossed his visor after holing the final putt for his victory.
That same silhouette image has been printed on the bunting on the grandstands surrounding the 18th green, offering another visual reminder of the transcendent triumph.
Additionally, spectators received a replica of Palmer's players badge from the 1960 Open.
A very classy tribute, indeed.

About 40 immigration activists protest outside…
About 40 immigration activists protest outside Lakers-Suns game
By Redlands Daily Facts | redlands@dfmdev.com |
PHOTO GALLERY OF ARIZONA PROTESTS
PHOTO GALLERY OF L.A. PROTESTS
PHOTO GALLERY OF L.A. ARRESTS
About 40 immigration activists demonstrated outside tonight's NBA playoff game between the Lakers and Phoenix Suns at Staples Center because Lakers coach Phil Jackson declined to criticize Arizona's recently adopted illegal immigration law.
The protestors conducted informational picketing outside the ESPN Zone restaurant at the LA Live complex, then marched to the adjacent Staples Center. They drew taunts from some counter-demonstrators, including one who criticized the activists for putting a swastika on an American flag.
Opponents of Arizona's SB 1070 have likened it to actions taken by Nazi Germany against Jews, a comparison that drew criticism last week from the international Jewish human rights organization, the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
"The Wiesenthal Center along with many other Americans expressed our opposition to the language of the Arizona immigration bill, but it is inappropriate and irresponsible to link the bill to actions of Nazi Germany," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the center's associate dean.
"In a democracy, there is no need to demonize opponents, even when they are mistaken, to those whose actions led to history's most notorious crime."
Jackson today asked that his comments "not be used by either side to rally activists."
"I've been involved in a number of progressive political issues over the years and I support those who stand up for their beliefs," Jackson said in a statement issued by the team. "It is what makes this country great.
"I have respect for those who oppose the new Arizona immigration law, but I am wary of putting entire sports organizations in the middle of political controversies," he said.
"This was the message of my statement. I know others feel differently, even in the Lakers organization, but it was a personal statement. In this regard, it is my wish that this statement not be used by either side to rally activists."
During his pregame news conference May 4, Jackson was asked by ESPN.com columnist J.A. Adande for his thoughts on Suns owner Robert Sarver having his team wear "Los Suns" jerseys for a May 5 game, partly in response to the law and partly because of the Cinco de Mayo celebration.
"Am I crazy, or am I the only one that heard when the legislators said that `We just took United States immigration law and adapted it to our state?"' Jackson said
Jackson then asked Adande if his interpretation of the law was correct. Adande said Arizona "usurped the federal law."
Jackson disagreed, saying "it's not usurping, they just copied it, is what they said they did, the legislators. Then they give it some teeth to be able to enforce it."
SB 1070 empowers local law enforcement to check the immigration status of suspects they have stopped for other reasons if there is a reasonable suspicion they are in the country illegally. The law specifically bars police from racial profiling.
Jackson sometimes makes inflammatory statements during the playoffs in an attempt to get a psychological advantage over opposing players and their fans during the playoffs.
It was unclear if that was a factor in his comments, which prompted the Mexican American Political Association and Southern California Immigration Coalition to decide to picket today's Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Suns.
"We are not happy with the position that Phil Jackson took," Nativo Lopez, the president of the Mexican American Political Association, said before the protest.
"We want to call on Jackson and the Lakers to put on their Los Lakers jerseys, especially considering the tremendous support that the Lakers have enjoyed from the communities specifically targeted by the misguided and racist Arizona law."
The groups also "want to welcome Los Suns of Arizona and thank them for the symbolic support," Lopez said.
The Lakers will not wear their Los Lakers jerseys for any playoff games, Lakers spokesman John Black said. He was unaware of anyone from the Laker organization being contacted by either group.
"We will not be getting involved in choosing sides among our many different support groups in any debate, nor will we be getting involved in political issues of this nature," Black told City News Service.
"Our focus and goal at this time is on basketball, winning games, and hopefully winning another championship, which we feel the vast majority of our fans want us to focus on."
The Lakers wore the Los Lakers jerseys for their March 21 game in connection with the NBA's "Noche Latina," program, part of the NBA's marketing efforts aimed at Latinos, the third consecutive year they have done so "to honor, support and show gratitude to all the Hispanic and Spanish- speaking fans of the Lakers and the NBA," Black said.
"This has also tied in with other things we've done over the years to support and reach out to our fans, including our annual Fiesta Lakers event, which we started in the 2004-05 season; broadcasting our games in Spanish since 1994, and other efforts to reach out to this loyal constituency of ours," Black said.
Lopez said he understands those who want to avoid politicizing the best- of-seven series that will determine the Western Conference representatives in the NBA finals.
"My whole family is fanatical sports fans and say `Don't touch my team with anything that smacks of politics'," Lopez said. "But we're more worried about the people that are being victimized in Arizona." CNS-05-17-2010 19:30


First of all, thanks a lot for this great engine, i have working with it for some days.
On my little example i'm trying to show an Object3D (sphere in this case) and practice various effects, and unfortunately i can't do very much. Please, could somebody teach me how to make the following effects? or unless link to gl tutorial or something?
- partial transparency, ¿how it is possible to see the other side of the object? when i apply transparency i see the background but not the other side of my object3d.
- light or material effect. i'm trying to make an pullid and brightness effect to my sphere, like a billiard ball.
That's because of the backface culling that will be applied by default. You can change this behaviour by doing Object3D.setCulling(false);. However, because transparent objects have to be sorted to be rendered in the correct order, it highly depends on the object if the result will be visually pleasing of not.
This depends a little bit on the version of jPCT. Are you using the desktop version or jPCT-AE? I'm asking because a lot of questions related to the Android version pop up in this forum, so i just wanted to be sure before answering.
I'm usign jPCT-AE for Android project.
Have you already tried to add a light source to the scene?
yes i have added some light over the object but his appeareance is always like "matt finish" i want something like this http://www.pmpocketbilliards.com/pocketbilliardimages/9-Ball.jpg material effect. If it is possible of course.
It is possible when using OpenGL ES 2.0 and a custom shader. If that's too mush hassle, you can try to use specular lighting to improve things a little (http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/Object3D.html#setSpecularLighting(boolean), http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/Config.html#specPow, http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/Config.html#specTerm), but i'm not sure if that will cut it.
hello, i'm here again with new problems.
ok, i try with Object3D.setCulling(false); And the object looks like i want, the black transparent color of the png texture disappear and i can see the back side of the object.
http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=f590cbf this is the good draw of a transparent object.
I hope it could be solutions. Any ideas? thank you.
That's because the order in which the polygons will rendered depends on the order in which they are defined. For transparent objects, this matter and it might look wrong from certain angles. There's no way to fix this except by splitting the objects into smaller parts, if possible into transparent and opaque parts. Not sure if this helps in this case because i can't access the images ATM because my bandwidth here is very very low.
Another idea that is worth a try: Clone the object, make it a child of the actual object and invert it. Then add some sort offset, so that the inverted clone will always be painted before the actual object. Enable transparency on both and see if it helps. Don't disable calling on any of the objects in this case.
But it isn't works for me.
i try too setSortOffset positive to draw first cloned object. And i could see it first but the result isn't good. Object3D.invert() make an strange effect over the texture (a .png picture) and it is drawed very bad (little triangles chunks of original texture on bad uv coords) and not solved my problem.
As said above: Don't disabled culling on these objects or the idea won't work. Remove your calls to setCulling.
But if i don't disable culling i have not any problem with transparency.
The problem occurs when thre is an object with transparency and setCulling(false) to see the backside and the object is rotated. I will post a simple example code with image to illustrate it.
Yes, i know that this is the problem. And this idea might help to get rid of it, but if you still disable culling, it can't do any good. The actual idea is to combine the front faces of the first with the back faces of the second object. In your code, both objects will be painted one over the other.
