Ethereum Founder Donated $1 Billion to Fight Covid in India, but Only $20 Million Has Been Spent
The co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain, Vitalik Buterin, donated roughly $1 billion in a Shiba Inu-themed cryptocurrency to a covid-19 relief fund in India in May 2021. So far, according to Bloomberg, just $20 million or roughly 2% of the original commitment has made it to its donation.
India has been ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic, particularly in dense cities where average citizens often struggled to gain access to basic medical services well before the virus began circulating and engulfed hospitals and clinics with a never-ending deluge of patients. In April, when the highly transmissible delta variant of the virus began hitting its peak in India, tens of thousands fell ill a day, crematories were overwhelmed in cities like New Delhi, and funeral pyres burnt 24/7.
The country is now estimated to have surpassed 31.5 million confirmed cases with over 422,000 deaths, though these numbers are widely considered an undercount.
Researchers from the U.S.-based Center for Global Development have estimated total excess deaths during the pandemic in India could be in the range of 3.4 million to 4.7 million.
Many Indian survivors of the virus have been left trapped with potentially insurmountable medical debt, according to the Associated Press, and just 25% of the population has received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine.
Nailwal told Bloomberg the fund has "been in preparation for the third wave" of the virus. Despite rising case numbers, many state governments across India have loosened restrictions, with the South China Morning Post reporting that courts and medical associations have been among the sole institutions urging caution against reckless decisions.
The Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been broadly hostile to cryptocurrency and was reportedly considering legislation to make it a crime to mine, trade, or even hold cryptocurrencies like bitcoin earlier this year. Although a bill was introduced, it went nowhere, and as of June 2021, the central government was still in the process of working out how any potential regulation should work.

14 Americans sickened with coronavirus traveled with healthy people despite CDC objections, report says
Nearly 100 people died from the novel coronavirus Sunday as deaths from the disease in mainland China have risen above 900.
The State Department evacuated 14 Americans suffering from COVID-19, better known as the coronavirus, from a cruise ship docked off the coast of Japan despite objections from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The Washington Post reports.
Earlier this week, American officials arrived in Japan to extract more than 300 Americans aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, which has been quarantined off the coast of Yokohama, Japan since Feb. 3. More than 600 people aboard the ship have contracted COVID-19 since the cruise departed on Jan. 20.
According to The Washington Post, as 14 buses full of American tourists prepared to board a plane back to the United States, Trump administration officials learned that 14 people were infected with COVID-19.
The Post reports that the State Department had already promised that no infected patients would be allowed to board the plane. But they later argued that because the patients were not showing symptoms, they would be safe for them to travel.
However, CDC officials argued that the 14 patients could still spread the disease and should not be allowed on the plane.
Ultimately, the 14 infected patients were allowed to board. According to The Post, CDC officials demanded they not be quoted in a news release announcing the return of the passengers.
According to Gizmodo, the infected patients were placed in a special area of the plane that was separated by plastic sheets.
Some passengers on the plane told The Washington Post that they had no idea they were flying with infected patients.
All passengers that have returned from the Diamond Princess are currently under quarantine at Travis Air Force Base in California, University of Nerbaska Medical Center and Lackland Air Force Base where they will remain for two weeks.
Earlier this week, two people aboard the Diamond Princess died of COVID-19.

CNET & more on KEITH HENSON ......... The 'Tom Cruise' Missile Jokester Who Scientology Wants Jailed
"Scn is like HIV. Gets in there and screws up the immune system, perverts the law to its own ends. Forget government taking the lead role in bringing down scn, that task falls to you and me." --- Keith Henson
David Rice "Shy David") tells us:
"The sinister Scientology® business claimed it attacked Keith Henson because of "copyright violations." In reality, the reason is because Mr. Henson spoke the truth about Scientology Inc.'s crimes and human rights abuses. The business attacked Henson as a "warning" to others who would be so bold as to tell the truth about Scientology. This is called the "Monkey on a Stick" deterrent: one or two "monkeys" are selected from the crowd of critics, and harassed in front of them--- this is to cause the other critics to cease objecting to Scientology Inc.'s crimes and gross human rights abuses.
Before we get to the CNET article on Keith Henson, the 'Tom Cruise' Missile Jokester, it's important to know that the story of his fight for free speech and his flight to avoid persecution by the 'church' of scientology is something we can all benefit from reading up on.
"I know that taking a stand against Scientology is likely to subject me and my family to the same abuse Mr. Ward has experienced. But there comes a point where people of good will *must* stand up to criminals-- even to those who are experts in using the courts to harass." ---Keith Henson
CNET SPECIAL REPOST (FAIR USE) Published: February 5, 2007
'Tom Cruise' Missile Jokester Arrested
By Declan McCullagh
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
"A Silicon Valley figure who fled the country after being convicted in part because of a Usenet joke about Tom Cruise and Scientology has been arrested in Arizona.
Keith Henson, an engineer, writer and futurist, was arrested Friday in Prescott, Ariz., where he has been living for the past few years, and now faces extradition to California. Henson originally fled to Canada after the 2001 conviction.
Keith Henson
The misdemeanor conviction in California stems from a post that Henson made in the alt.religion.scientology Usenet newsgroup that joked about aiming a nuclear "Tom Cruise" missile at Scientologists, and Henson's picketing of the group's Golden Era Productions in Riverside, Calif.
Michael Kielsky, Henson's defense attorney, said Monday that his client will likely be released on Monday evening and is required to appear in court for a March 5 hearing.
Kielsky said that Henson was mistreated by police and jailers--including being told during the arrest that he had no right to an attorney and being held in solitary confinement in a poorly heated cell without adequate bedding. "My best information is that it's very political," he said. "They gave him an extra blanket but then an hour later they took it away--(this is) a 66-year-old man with a heart problem."
A message left with Sheila Polk, the Yavapai County Attorney, was not returned on Monday.
A brief flap that ensued over the amount of Henson's bond delayed the process. A judge initially set the amount at $7,500, but then increased it to $500,000 at the request of prosecutors, according to the Yavapai County Detention Center. After a telephone conference with the judge and attorneys on Monday afternoon, the bond was lowered to $5,000.
Henson's frequent encounters with Scientology, coupled with his lengthy resume of programming, electrical engineering and futurist accomplishments, have made him something of a legal cause celebre in technology circles.
Supporters have created a "Free Keith Henson" blog, posted a note from his wife, Arel Lucas, and are asking for donations to a legal defense fund. The fund was set up by members of the Extropy Institute, a nonprofit group that has been a gathering point for futurists and technologists since 1991.
Convicted of making threat to interfere with religion Henson was convicted in 2001 under a California law (Sec. 422.6) that criminalizes any threat to interfere with someone else's "free exercise" of religion. One Usenet post that was introduced at his trial included jokes about sending a "Tom Cruise" missile against a Scientology compound (the actor is a prominent Scientologist). Picketing Scientology buildings and other "odd behavior" were also part of the charges, Deputy District Attorney Robert Schwarz said at the time.
Jeanne Roy, a deputy district attorney in Riverside County, Calif., said that the next step for her office is to see whether Henson shows up for his March 5 court date. If he does not, an Arizona warrant would be issued for his arrest. If he does, Roy said, another court date would be set to deal with extradition through a process known as a governor's warrant.
"That won't happen by March 5," Roy said. "It's usually a 30- to 90-day process, depending on the state, for that paperwork." If extradited to California, she said, Henson faces a year in jail or six months in jail and 3 years of probation.
When asked whether it's common for California to try to extradite someone on a misdemeanor conviction, Roy said: "It's not common, but it's not unusual either. We do it in some cases."
Henson's family is concerned about what might happen to him in jail. "The Scientologists have made death threats to my father," his daughter Amber Henson said in an e-mail message to CNET News.com. "My mom and I are going to do everything possible to make sure that they are not able to silently do away with him." (The Church of Scientology could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday.)
Before his misdemeanor conviction, Henson had become embroiled in a civil lawsuit that Scientology filed against him.
It arose out of supposedly secret scriptures written by L. Ron Hubbard, the late science fiction author and founder of Scientology, which describe a galactic overlord named Xenu who is allegedly the source of all human evil. Since the early 1990s, Scientology has made a concerted effort to remove those documents from the Internet--including suing Henson--but they finally found a permanent legal home in the Netherlands.
Scientology's tactics, which critics say include cult-like retention practices and intimidation, have drawn fire in the past. A Time magazine cover story, for instance, concluded that "Scientology poses as a religion but really is a ruthless global scam." Xenu and Cruise were also satirized in a November 2005 episode of South Park."
NB:It's sure nice to see good writers writing about good people like Keith Henson.

ANTI-SCIENTOLOGY ACTIVIST ARRESTED
The truth of how scientology has been victimizing Keith Henson should never be suppressed. If there is ever an undate to the following documentary, the story of Keith Henson should be a priority in content to add.
FRIEND OF MANKIND - by Karl-Rainer Blumenthal
L. Ron Hubbard always wanted to be known as a 'friend of mankind' but his legacy, as documented in this film by Purinton Pictures, is quite different.
"Friend of Mankind (2006) is a non-fiction documentary film about writer L. Ron Hubbard, his devoted celebrity followers and those who have died through his prescribed methods for the Church of Scientology. It is comprised primarily of footage from film and television interviews."
Blumenthal's 2006 documentary takes a critical look at the"accomplishments, controversies and followers of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology, comprised of American, English and German television broadcasts from the last 37 years"

"Scientology activist arrested"
p2pnet.net News:- "Keith Henson is a longtime acquaintance of mine," Maggie emailed on the weekend. "Nobody knew where he was for a few years until yesterday when he was arrested: he'd fled the country in fear of his life in 2001.
"Please help me spread the word. I'm really afraid for him."
An outspoken anti-Scientology activist, Hensen is an electrical engineer, "and writer on life extension, cryonics, memetics and Evolutionary psychology," says the Wikipedia.
He was arrested Saturday night on a bench warrant and at a hearing today (February 5), Henson's lawyers said they're fighting for his release.
Hensen fled to Canada after death threats and his wife says she's still afraid he'll be murdered.
Why has he been targeted by the cult, founded by sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 and which today boasts actor Tom Cruise among its members?
Seven years ago Hensen was innocuously watching another critic mock Scientologists on a Net newsgroup," says 10 Zen Monkeys, going on:
In a gonzo discussion about procuring a 'Tom Cruise missile,' they'd joked about working with 'Secret Agent 99, wearing a stunning black leather biker outfit.' Other posters joined in the internet discussion, asking whether Tom Cruise missiles are affected by wind."No way," Keith joked. "Modern weapons are accurate to a matter of a few tens of yards.
The police were informed of his 'threatening' posts, and Henson was arrested.
The police tipsters were the Scientologists themselves, who had already been the targets of an annoying picketing campaign by Henson over the death of a woman near their complex. Besides Henson's inability to acquire long-range missiles, his wife notes bitterly that it would be impossible for any church members in the complex to feel threatened by the internet posts, since they aren't even allowed to access the internet. Scientology officials have also claimed Henson followed their employees home _ though Henson counters that 'the same people who claimed to have been 'terrorized' by the picketers offered to take them to lunch on June 25, 2000, evidently to distract them from the death scene being cleaned up.'
Though Henson was found innocent of long-range missile terrorism, for his activities he was convicted of interfering with a church - a California hate crime for which he received a six-month misdemeanor prison sentence. But Henson said he feared his life would be in danger from Scientologists if he were imprisoned - and he fled to Canada in 2001.
He was already bankrupt from an earlier ruling that he'd infringed on Scientology copyrights. But Henson continued picketing Scientologists in Toronto, and they apparently retaliated by informing Canadian police of his presence. (Henson believes the Scientologists told police he was a terrorist and bomb maker.) L.A. Weekly reported two unmarked vans pulled up and 'a handful of emergency-services task-force officers - Canada's version of a police SWAT team - spilled out, wearing body armor and carrying submachine guns.' Describing the event, the EFF reported Henson was 'arrested in a shopping mall parking lot, by a heavily armed paramilitary unit.'
EFF Executive Director Shari Steele argued that Free speech was at stake in his case: 'This trial seems intended to punish Mr. Henson for his opposition to a powerful organization using the barest thread of legal justification to do so.'
His wife added in an interview with a Canadian newsweekly that "It's horrifying to me and to his friends how they've managed to twist his words."
Henson was ultimately released from a Canadian jail after filing an application for political asylum — reportedly the first ever accepted for review by the Canadian government, and for the next three years he lived as an expatriate in Canada, awaiting their decision.
"Besides being a digital encryption and free speech advocate, he's one of the original Burr-Brown/Texas Instruments researchers and a co-founder of the Space Colony movement," says a slashdot post.

DIGG IT BY SPREADING THE NEWS: 'Scientologist activist arrested'
p2pnet.net News:- "Keith Henson is a longtime acquaintance of mine," Maggie emailed on the weekend. "Nobody knew where he was for a few years until yesterday when he was arrested: he'd fled the country in fear of his life in 2001. "Please help me spread the word. I'm really afraid for him."

As for me, here is all I gotta say.......Keith Henson is yet another victim of L.Ron Hubbard's FAIR GAME police which Scientology incorporates into it's scheme to render it's opponients silent. Thank you Maggie and thank you Digg for helping make this matter known to the public.

My favorite part of this interview was, "For Johannes I asked for a more orthodox design. I don't want him to come off as a bookish researcher type. He's a character who values emotion over reason."
I find that interesting because his concept art looks bookish to me.
Saw this a few days ago, some very good information in it. Including the item drop answer.
I also read it some days ago.
MAN!! That's really interesting stuff!!
ill check this one out later thanks.
Keep those patrons happy! Thanks for the info. We are all excited to learn any info from the creative team. Translators like you mean so much to us. It's great to see you here!
Well, Iga thinks that it would be a little boring if he only uses the Lesser Key of Solomon for the monsters, so there will be characters from gothic horror too, thats great news.
[TI0] Adventurer/Gamer. Only believe what make sense.
Having news from lord IGA make me dance in happiness!
I think this article should almost be like required reading for anyone here. If you haven't read this yet, please do. From it you can even guess that the year of the game will be 1783-1784.
Thanks XombieMike , had't read it yet. Extremely interesting. I hadn't heard about the Laki eruptions before... now that's some material for a lazy read some day!
I don't recall reading the interview before, but I'm glad I did.
This exchange in particular was interesting to me.
I used to think Bloodstained would feature Gebel being infatuated towards Miriam since he built the game's castle for her. Now that I know this is not the case, I'm feeling better about the game's lore/narrative. Not every story needs romance and having main characters that are just close friends feels more mature to me.
[TI1]This world does not need another Hero.
Goobsausage have you not read this yet??
I read it about 5 months ago when I posted the quote about Gebel and Miriam.
Goobsausage Sorry, I over looked that. From this article we learn quite a bit of plot and that it's set in England. In another thread it sounded like you missed some stuff.
I probably forgot about those details since then (I totally forgot). There's a bunch of interviews floating around I still haven't read yet, and sometimes I'm not sure if what details people mention or talk about regarding Boodstained have been confirmed or if it's is just speculation.
Found it on google just now, was about to link it. But I figureds you guys already did that. And look and behold!

Who's Doing Good?
12 February 2018 - 18 February 2018
THE GIVERS
Bill Gates shares his insights on doing philanthropy in India. In this comprehensive interview with Hindustan Times, Gates touches on a variety of pertinent issues such as healthcare and shares the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's experience of working and interacting with governments and other philanthropists.
THE THINKERS
Pakistani think tank argues CSR should be used to build peace. The Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) says the private sector in Pakistan has the potential to better promote businesses and contribute to economic development by allocating funds for fighting against extremism and promoting social harmony and peace.
Are we missing the bigger picture for CSR? In her article in the India Development Review, Vanessa D'Souza, CEO of Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action (SNEHA), discusses the bigger picture companies are missing in their CSR strategy when deciding which NGOs to work with. D'Souza points out how CSR-nonprofit relationship has turned down to resemble a job interview, where the majority of the questions revolve around "everything organizational." From financial sustainability to risk management processes, companies are focusing less on the actual programs and ground-level knowledge of nonprofit professionals, but more on organizational capacity. D'Souza poses the question, "How will these organizations answer questions on financial sustainabiltiy and risk management when they don't have the wherewithal to put all these systems in place?" Read what D'Souza has to say to learn what CSR can actually do to help the sector of doing good.
THE NONPROFITS
NGO promotes palliative care in Indonesia. Rachel House, a nonprofit organization that specializes in children's palliative care, is successfully creating an ecosystem for palliative care in Indonesia. When it was founded in 2006, Rachel House was the first pediatric palliative care service provider in the country. Now, it is working to train professionals and build capacity of other individuals and organizations for a strong palliative care ecosystem.
THE BUSINESSES
AboitizPower donates technical-vocational equipment to senior high schools in Cebu, the Philippines. AboitizPower, a major power generation company in the Philippines, provided two Cebu high schools with technical-vocational equipment such as sewing machines, heavy-duty power drills, and spindle moulders worth P2.8 million (US$54,000). A total of 844 students were seen to benefit from this gift.
Lotte Duty Free celebrates 38th anniversary with charitable donations and community initiatives. Just before its 38th anniversary on February 14, 2018, Lotte Duty Free, a major travel retail company in Korea, hosted a number of community service activities and gave charitable donations to those in need. Hundreds of employees, including the CEO, volunteered for welfare centers and local organizations, while the company donated approximately ₩25 million (US$23,000) and rice to support the elderly and the homeless.
Sir Ronald Cohen announces setting up two major impact investment funds in India. Sir Ronald Cohen, Chairman of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG), has announced setting up two impact investment funds, each estimated to reach up to US$1 billion by October. The India Education Outcomes Fund (IEOF) will aim at improving the quality K-12 education, while the India Impact Fund of Funds (IIFF) will look at other development programs. The IEOF will raise funds primarily from bilateral agencies, philanthropists, local and global institutional donors, CSR budgets, and government institutions, while the IIFF will raise funds from Indian high-net-worth individuals, both abroad and at home.
THE INNOVATORS
Alibaba applies its business products and services to tackling poverty in China. On top of the many charitable funds and donations led by its executive chairman, Jack Ma, Alibaba has integrated its e-commerce and technological expertise into its CSR programs. From providing e-commerce platforms for rural entrepreneurs to offering online micro-lending to farmers, Alibaba is making "doing good" smart.
With a public fundraising platform, Yahoo Japan helps raise money for Hualien earthquake victims in Taiwan. As of February 14, 2018, 139,138 donors in Japan had contributed about ¥126 million (US$1.16 million) through the Japanese online portal's crowdfunding platform. The online fundraising campaign is expected to continue for one more week.
Two volunteers share their experience of "voluntouring." In a magazine interview, two Singapore-based volunteers talk about their personal stories of working with the Happy Hearts Fund, a charity that helps rebuild schools in disaster-affected parts of the world. Specifically, they discuss their experience of "voluntouring," traveling to other countries to do charitable work. Having visited Indonesia to help rebuild schools, one interviewee said, "If they [children in Indonesia] cannot afford to travel to see things for themselves; at least the 'world' is coming to them."
THE TRUSTBREAKERS
Oxfam's sexual misconduct scandal has ramifications on not only its own charitable work, but also the larger aid industry. Since allegations of sexual misconduct have been made against Oxfam and its employees, many stakeholders have responded, suggesting there may be greater implications than a mere scandal. The Charity Commission of the United Kingdom has launched an inquiry, while some corporate partners have chimed in as well. The British government also told Oxfam it could forfeit large sums of government money if it did not explain itself, while the European Union, another major financial supporter, called for transparency from the organization. This scandal comes at a time when public trust in the sector was already at its lowest-ever in the country, and what is most concerning is that this scandal is bolstering the agenda of the Conservative Party to terminate the country's commitment to spend 0.7% of GDP on foreign aid.
Singaporean hospital warns of cancer research fund donation scam. Tan Tock Seng Hospital, one of the largest multi-disciplinary hospitals in Singapore, warned its social media followers about a scam soliciting donations to a cancer research fund. According to the hospital, relevant authorities have been informed of the situation, and local media outlets are in the process of requesting for more details from the hospital.


Our story starts with our founder Miguel. For many years he struggled to keep a job down, not realizing the underlying cause. During adolescence, he was severely bullied for being different, almost every day, all the way into high school, and even in some instances during college years. No matter how hard he tried in every task, assigned to him by several employers, it was never good enough. He was told he worked too slow, or he was too much of a liability. Feeling a failure at everything and about to give up even trying. After meeting his wife and gaining new strength he continued on his journey.
Until one day everything made sense; an opportunity arose, where he was assessed for dyslexia, as a college tutor at an adults evening course picked up on his reading and writing struggles. She advised that in her opinion he not only had dyslexia but several other neurological disorders too.
An appointment with his doctor and an ASD assessment team confirmed the tutors' suspicions. He was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Asperger's syndrome, otherwise known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). After studying up on the condition, everything made sense! At last.
Unfortunately, it didn't help him hold down employment any better. He felt disheartened knowing that there are disability discrimination laws in place but they do not offer protection from unemployment. Within the 1st year, any employer can sack you if you are deemed incompetent etc. Employers don't have the time or the money to spend offering assistance to those with invisible disabilities.
Things were going ok until a change in the benefits system where all benefits were capped at a certain rate and changes to eligibility meant he couldn't afford to pay the rent on his private rented accommodation.
After assessing his options, Miguel knew there wasn't any possibility of him gaining employment within the timeframe and no guarantee of it being stable, years experience of being rejected and sacked, who could blame his scepticism.
So he made an appointment to seek help from the DWP about taking the major step of setting up his own business. He had drawn up a business plan and after a few meetings they agreed to help him and offered some small grants to help him get started.
During this time the founder had a fall and broke his spine after he collapsed. For several months he was confined to a back brace and crutches. If there was a time to give up, now would be that time. But he persevered. The grant he received helped towards special office furniture to accommodate his back.
After his fractured spine had healed and a short holiday, he was back on his journey, and one step closer to being his own boss.
The idea for Sweet Victory Products Ltd was created because the founders' mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which she found hard at first, she loved her sweet treats and going cold turkey sent her into despair.
After finding so many tasty products not readily available in supermarkets, Miguel endeavoured to supply them for his mother, to help her make the transition from high sugar treats to lower, no added sugar & sugar-free sweet treats. Having a tasty treat that didn't spike her blood sugar was a "Sweet Victory" indeed.
The launch date happened, and the sales were coming in. The first year was a big learning curve. Running a business on a limited budget is tough. Miguel started to reminisce about his past and how he has always had to struggle in life but reminded himself of his successes, his wife & children being at the top of the list. He reached out to family and friends who graciously helped him out in times need.
Giving up was never an option for Miguel because just before setting up the company, his second born child was diagnosed with autism. Now more than ever he wanted to make his business a success in order to provide employment for his family in the future, with the hope of one day employing others with autism and offering work experience and advice.
Starting this family run business has also helped in managing his sons' autistic meltdowns or triggers, by drastically removing sugar from the families diet and swapping for sugar-free or lower sugar options, there is a big difference in behaviour because of it.
Every sale that is made at Sweet Victory Products Ltd is an encouragement. When you buy from a small business you really are supporting them.
We hope that our story encourages anyone facing struggles and rejection due to disabilities, whether it in the workplace or in the application process we believe with the right help and the right time, the possibilities are endless. Never give up.
Thank you for sharing your story. I completely agree that there isn't enough support for invisible conditions in the work place. I'm so happy you turned that around and started up something that is not only a business, but something you are passionate about.

Documenting the most ambitious and original designs of the 99 season
[ Image courtesy Peter Sorensen ]
This formation in Wheat was discovered at West Overton, Wiltshire on 24th June 1999. It's an obvious twin to the earlier 'Sierpiniski Gasket' fractal formation found at Chibolton Observatory in Hampshire - see below. The formation is approximately 350ft long and consists of ten 40ft hexagons, eight 90ft triangles and 116 8ft circles. A real jaw dropper.

This formation in Barley was discovered at Chibolton, Hampshire on 13 June 1999. It's situated next to the 'Chiboton Observatory' a huge radio telescope owned by the M.O.D. The formation is approximately 350ft long and consists of 146 10ft circles creating two back to back 'Sierpiniski Gasket' fractals, made up of equilateral triangle. Rob Speight who discovered the formation had this to say about it "This formation is amazing, the young barley, has been swirled down into these circles at some points with what would appear to be a very fast swirling motion due to the tight twisting of some of the standing crop." You can find some great ground shots of the formation on his website "thenoiseroom".
This monster formation in Barley was discovered at Alton Barnes, Wiltshire on 12 June 1999 in the famed East Field. It's 1024ft long and the design is a throw back to formations of the early 1990's but on a much larger scale than anything that appeared back then. The vintage design elements include keys, boxes, a celtic cross, chains of circles, arcs, rings and antenna. Another smaller formation also appeared in the same field close to this formation on the same night.
This formation in Barley was discovered at Barbury Castle, Wiltshire on 31 May 1999. It's approximately 280ft wide and consists of eleven circles joined by three 180 degree arcs, two lines and two partial crescents that depict a Menorah. This formation is locate near the field that in 1997 was host to a cabalistic 'tree of life' formation in Oil Seed Rape that is a close cousin in both design and subject matter.
The formation has been well received by the main stream media gaining a double page spread in the Evening Standard soon after it appeared and making it to the cover of the Jewish Chronicle!

This formation in immature Oil Seed Rape was discovered at Gravesend, Kent on 11 April 1999. It's approximately 150ft in diameter and consists of twenty four overlapping circles and rings. The formation is one of the most complex crop circle formations to appear in Oil Seed Rape and is reminiscent is style of the 1997 Barbury Castle formation which also appeared in Oil Seed Rape.

Fact: we're having late summer withdrawals from The Mindy Project. And while we've been turning to Netflix to watch reruns, we need more Mindy! Lucky for us, it's just as entertaining to observe the red carpet style of the show's leading funny lady Mindy Kaling. Known for her curvy figure, Mindy doesn't shy away from any trend, color or print and has become a leading fashionista in the process.
After pouring over pictures of her, we've taken some fashion queues from the queen herself. Here's how to get her look.
Mindy's waist is always on display. Girlfriend knows that her lovely midriff is her smallest section and is always seen with a peplum shape, accessorizing with a belt or in a classic fit and flare dress. Even when dressed for formal affairs, she's been known to slip on a gold or embellished belt to keep the focus on her best asset.
Mynted like Mindy: Pair our Hayley Chambray Dress with a belt to emphasize a small waist.
You know how they say black is slimming? Mindy takes that outdated fashion rule and tosses it out the window with bright prints and even more vibrant solid pieces. She also mixes unusual color combinations, like purple with yellow or turquoise with electric blue.
Mynted like Mindy: We're pretty positive Mindy would reach for the Abida Wrap Tank in Poppy Red and wear it with a bright bottom as well.
From ethnic to geometric or abstract, Mindy does not shy away from wearing prints. She goes to town mixing and matching them, layering them or even sporting a head to toe print.
Mynted like Mindy: Our Electra T-Shirt tucked into a classic pencil skirt emulates Mindy's look.

1969 Shelby GT500 Fastback for sale
So here we have it… a Genuine 1969 Shelby GT500 Fastback in Wimbledon White with Red Vinyl Knit trim. This is one of only 18 made in this colour combination. All matching numbers 428-4V-V8 engine with GT 500 RAM AIR induction, C6 Select Shift Automatic Transmission, 9 inch 3.00 Traction Lok Rear Axle, Power steering, Tilt Away Steering Wheel, Power Front disc brakes, Air-conditioned, Tinted Glass, Deluxe Belts, Sport Deck flat folding rear seat, Original Roll Bar, Warning Light, Tachometer and Trip Odometer. This car has interesting history and it's all recorded in a folder going right back to the original sales documents, books and original embossed owners' card. A very original car that's had a respray at one point but other wise unrestored, it does show some ware and patina accordingly and is a great surviving Shelby and a very rare car in Australia.
ENGINE: Two engine choices were available for 1969: big or small. The small-block was a 351 Windsor and was the key component of the G.T. 350, while this car got the big-block 428 Cobra Jet that was standard fitment for the G.T. 500. The central front NACA duct brought air into the carburettor of either engine by way of a Ram Air system. The G.T. 500's big 428 Cobra Jet is often thought to be underrated at a listed 335hp, even given its screaming 5,800 RPM rating point. Torque was robust at 440-lbs.ft. of twist at just 3,400 crankshaft revolutions showing on the 8,000 RPM tachometer. The G.T. 500 huffed air through the centre NACA duct and into a Holley four-barrel carburettor. The big-block engine shifted the weight distribution of the Shelby forward, placing 57 percent of the 3,850 pounds of the SportsRoof version's girth over the front wheels and just 43 percent out over the stylish, but more tail-happy, rear end of the car.
OPTIONS: Engine and transmission choices also determined who stayed cool. Air conditioning was only available on the G.T. 500 if the car was equipped with the C-6 automatic transmission.
DIFFRENTIAL: The ring and pinion were semi-floating type, fitted to Ford 9-inch differentials. Number codes were used in the VIN for various ratios to denote an open differential; letter codes were used for Traction-Lok limited-slip ratios. Everything from an Interstate-swallowing 3.00:1 open rear gear to a get-up-and-boogie 4.30:1 locker were available, depending on the engine and transmission combination… This car was fitted with the 3.00:1 ratio.
BODY: There is a Mustang under the Shelby. The SportsRoof, rear quarters and doors were stock Mustang. Shelby tapped into the considerable resources of the Ford design team to come up with the race-bred look of the 1969-'70 models. To even call the 1969 Shelby a pony car would be a stretch. Literally. The distinctive front treatment of the Shelby added almost four inches to the standard Mustang length and required fiberglass fenders designed to work with the stretched hood. The fiberglass work was farmed out to A. O. Smith, which churned out the 26 parts that helped transform a standard Mustang into the Shelby. Chrome trim on the leading edge of the long hood was met by fender chrome bits and the front bumper to form a rectangular maw punctuated by two round headlamps and a Cobra emblem. Twin Lucas FT8 fog lamps under the front bumper were controlled by a console-mounted toggle switch.
WHEELS & TYRES: A Shelby car would not be a Shelby without some manner of available ultra-cool cast aluminium wheels. The 1969-'70 cars adhered to this rule, though there was only one choice. The 1969-'70 Shelby 15 x 7-inch wheel featured a five-spoke cast-aluminium centre and a steel rim and the set on this car has just been restored and brand new tyres fitted.

A: Not sure what your bot.py will do, but it will run and wait to finish...
It looks like you want bot.py to be the application to start once the container is started.
You should use ENTRYPOINT or CMD for this.
In a nutshell:

*

*RUN executes command(s) in a new layer and creates a new image. E.g., it is often used for installing software packages.

*CMD sets default command and/or parameters, which can be overwritten from command line when docker container runs.

*ENTRYPOINT configures a container that will run as an executable.

I don't know if I'd ever mentioned before how I like to stuff my little dolls. I'd taken pictures a while ago to help illustrate what I do, but I don't remember ever having gotten around to using them. I get questions from time to time about how to get even looking heads (specifically) and body pieces so I thought I'd show and tell how I do it.
First and foremost, crochet your stitches as absolutely tight and uniform as possible. This is very important so that there won't be gaping holes where you see the fiberfil/roving when you get it stuffed as full as you can.
The amount of fiberfil that is used is a very large amount in comparison to the size of the head. It usually ends up being double the amount that you think will suffice, and even then you might want to stuff it even fuller.
I've found that lumpiness and odd shapes are reduced when I use a great deal of small bits of fiberfil as opposed to using a big lump of it. You get a small tuft of the fiberfill and then pull at it, stretching it apart until it's barely held together, then at that point it's ready to be inserted. While inserting the fiberfil, take care to place it as evenly distributed as possible around the shape you're stuffing.
As I fill I make sure to stretch the fabric of whatever shape I'm stuffing from the inside, pulling and shaping from the outside and using a scraping motion on the inside with the back of my crochet hook or whatever other tool I'm using to help stuff.
Just keep stuffing, pretty much until the head becomes a little hard ball, and can't be stuffed anymore.
At the point that no more fiberfil will fit, finish crocheting the shape taking care that your stitches are still tight and uniform and seal the hole.

Through the Eyes of the Wildlife Photographer
The May 2017 Conservancy newsletter featured two wildlife photographers, Bjorn Persson and Oriol Alamany, and the world of the snow leopard as seen through their eyes. Read their amazing stories and share their personal experiences as they successfully search for and film the elusive snow leopard!
Bjorn Persson
"Despite all the bad things going on in the world, there is pure, divine beauty to be found…"
Bjorn Persson is a photographer living in Tyreso, Sweden. For years, he has traveled "Africa in search of adventure and great images." Persson says "the thrill of taking pictures isn't about the actual photography. It's about the preparations, the journeys, the long hours, and all the sweat and tears that ultimately go into a great image." He goes on to say, "I always try to capture the unusual…a story no one has told before."
His favorite place is Kenya and the vast fields of Masai Mara. He states, "this is the cradle of life, and that's why we must do everything we can to save it." Persson's passion for wildlife started in 2002 while studying conservation and working with anti-poaching in South Africa. He says, "this was also when I realized what a critical state the African wildlife is in." Since that time, his ambition has been "to spread awareness." Persson concludes, "through my images, I want to pay tribute to these beautiful creatures in their magnificant surroundings. The African wildlife holds an immense beauty rooted deep in our souls, and by connecting to it, I think we can create the engagement needed to make a change."
Recently, Persson traveled to a completely different, yet equally beautiful and delicate ecosystem, that of Ladakh, India, located in the Karakoram mountain range, one of the Greater Ranges of Asia, to photograph snow leopards in their natural habitat. And this is his story.
I was blessed to take these photos on a snow leopard expedition to the Hemis National Park in Ladakh, India. I say blessed because if you're extremely lucky, your only chance of seeing one is through a telescope one kilometer away. Snow leopards are one of the world's most elusive animals, and the most common way to spot one is high up on the mountain ridges where they like to patrol. This is also what happened the day I first saw one.
After several days of patiently waiting (and freezing), we finally spotted a snow leopard passing by on a remote top. Just the sensation of actually having seen this mysterious ghost of the Himalayas was an unforgettable experience in itself. But I wanted more. Somehow I just felt that this was the day I had been waiting for my whole life. When it finally disappeared over the ridge, I asked the guide if it was a good idea to trek to the other side of the mountain. He said no. It was already getting dark, and most likely it would be gone by now. But the voice in my heart told me otherwise. I decided to get to the other side on my own. Deeply concerned, he explained that it was on my own risk, but before he'd even finished his sentence, I was gone.
One hour later, and after a steep, strenuous climb up the mountain side, I lay down on the ridge to wait. Below me was a valley with some grazing blue sheep. I looked around through my binoculars but couldn't see a thing. The sun was going down and my whole body was shivering from the icy winds sweeping through the gorge. Another 30 minutes went by, but nothing. I was just about to give up when I suddenly discovered that the blue sheep had frozen in their positions. Their ears pointed straight up and they were all looking in the same direction. My heart started pounding. I still couldn't see anything, but now I knew it was there. Suddenly, a big dust cloud appeared before my eyes and out came the snow leopard. He was going after the sheep, and in blind panic they started running up the hill straight towards me.
Some of them passed so close they almost tread me down. The hunt was over in a few seconds, and when the leopard realized it wasn't his lucky day, he stopped and started to make his way up a mountain in front of me.
At this point, the distance between me and him was less than a hundred meters. But despite my big, red down, he didn't seem to notice me. Peacefully, he just walked up the side of the hill, sat down, and started overlooking his territory for other prey. I couldn't stop taking pictures. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
But after a while, I put my camera aside and just observed him. The moment was too good to be experienced through my lens. It was just me, him, and the mountains. A lot of people talk about religious experiences. This was as close to one as I'd ever been. It was almost like he had come to me, not the other way around. And somehow it felt like he now rewarded my determination by leading me to him.
Ultimately, he was only lit by the moon, but even though my legs were so frozen I could hardly feel them, I didn't leave. Despite all the bad things going on in the world, there is pure, divine beauty to be found, and I was the lucky, fortunate witness. When he finally started making his way further up the mountain, tears started welling up. Call me a softy, but this was the best moment of my life. Bjorn Persson – http://www.bjornpersson.nu/

"I was shivering, maybe by the intense cold, maybe by the excitement…"
Oriol Alamany is a photographer from Barcelona, Spain. An enthusiast of nature, photography, and film since childhood, he studied biology and graphic design. In the 80's, Alamany shared the work as a naturalist, specializing in mountain fauna, with graphic design, cinema, and photography. He finally established himself as a professional photographer, having published in magazines such as National Geographic Spain, BBC Wildlife, Terre Sauvage, Geo, Lonely Planet, etc. He also has written and illustrated several books.
Mountains and felines are two of his favorite subjects. He tells the Conservancy, "I have done photographic works on the Pyrenees (particularly about its scarce brown bear population), the Alps, the mountains of Ethiopia, the Andes, the Rocky Mountains, the Atlas, and the Himalayas." He goes on to say, "I was a member of the Managing Board of Aigüestortes i Sant Maurici National Park in the Pyrenees as a representative of conservationist NGOs." He is a member of the European nature photographers collective Nature Photo Blog. And this is his story…
After three trips to the Himalayas, my wife, Eulàlia Vicens and I decided that the time had come to attempt a photographic work on the elusive snow leopard, our dream subject. We spent a lot of time studying the potential locations, and in February 2017, we traveled back to the Himalayas.
It is not easy to get around these mountain ranges in winter due to the cold (0 to -30ºC), the altitude (4000-5000 meters, 13000-16500 feet), and the poor conditions of the roads, accommodation, and food. But working together with local naturalists and trackers, we had the privilege of watching and photographing three different snow leopard specimens, sometimes for hours.
The second of our sightings was particularly outstanding. After several hours of walking and waiting around 4100 meters (13500 feet) on the snow at dusk, we were able to observe one snow leopard trying to kill a Siberian ibex, Capra sibirica. At first, the leopard was studying the ibex herd for a long time, taking advantage of the camouflage provided by a few brown earth patches in the totally snowy mountain slope.
After half an hour of patient stalking, he ran through the deep snow behind the ibex, who fled in terror until jumping over the vertiginous cliffs, with the leopard behind them.
For an instant we thought that all had died falling into the void. But after some minutes, the leopard and the ibex reappeared safe and sound. The kill had failed.
Throughout the evening, the attacks were repeated twice more without success. I was shivering, maybe by the intense cold, maybe by the excitement. As a wildlife photographer it was a thrilling experience, and as a naturalist an interesting behavior observation.
For the next winter, we are planning to return to the Himalayas to finish our work especially on the snow leopard problems with local farmers and the conservation strategies. Oriol Alamany – www.alamany.com

The F-150 is still in its thirteenth generation, but the major updates were made for the current version. The most significant – arrival of the diesel engine. But, the EPA still doesn't give a green light, so the model could be the biggest update during 2019 for 2020 Ford F-150. The redesign of the famous truck will help it achieve even better sales. Could it reach a million sold units per annum? We will see.
Besides a diesel engine, the 2020 Ford F-150 could introduce a hybrid model. That is a topic of numerous rumors for a while. Not so likely, but not impossible as well. Other changes include new colors, optional packages, and standard equipment across the F-150 range, and finally, the new Raptor. An off-road version could add a new engine, a V8 with a huge displacement.
After the redesign, the 2020 Ford F-150 will have a new entry-level engine. It is a 3.3-liter V6 displacement, capable to produce 290 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. Of course, the Blue Oval company installed its old transmission system with six gears. This is the only engine for F-150 truck that uses such gearbox.
Starting from 2.7-liter turbo-six mill, all others are paired with a new transmission. It is a ten-speed automatic case that improves fuel economy.
A 3.3-l powertrain returns 22 mpg combined. It can also consume E85. In this case, gas mileage drops to 14/19 mpg.
What does a 2.7-l change? It adds more power – 325 ponies total. Also, twist gets a boost to 400 hp. And finally, as a result of the new transmission system, fuel economy jumps to 20/26 mpg in city/highway for 2WD. An AWD consumes more gas – 19 mpg for an urban drive and 24 mpg for highways.
A 5.0-liter V8 engine is an option for serious trucking and towing. This beast will deliver 395 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Well, it is not so generous to fuel, consuming 17/23 mpg, or 12/17 miles per gallon of E85.
The 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor is probably the most popular truck in the lineup. It is not the best-selling, but this off-road pickup offers plenty of additional equipment. First of all, it gets a special engine. A relatively fresh drivetrain is a high-output version of 3.5-liter V6 with the twin-turbo system. With it, the 2020 Ford Raptor will create 450 hp and 510 pound-feet of torque. It maximizes performances of the F-150 truck. Also, a towing capacity of this version is 12,000 pounds. Top of the class Limited model will also use a high-output V6 engine.
Raptor is not all about the powerful engine. It also brings a lot of various equipment for an off-road drive. First of all, there is special badging with FORD sign on the grille. Huge wheels with all-terrain tires and other exterior upgrades are making the 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor more aggressive. Unique bumper and skid plates are protection for an off-road drive.
Inside, Raptor is not offering leather, but unique cloth seats. Driver's bucket is adjustable in 8 ways. Buyers can upgrade their pickup with many optional features, such as dual-zone climate control, SYNC3 infotainment, or navigation with voice commands.
Finally, Ford presented a new engine for the legendary truck. Fans are still eagerly waiting for official release of diesel unit, but all potential buyers must wait a bit more. Now it is up to EPA to allow its usage. And we already know everything about the 2020 Ford F-150 diesel. It will use a 3.0-liter turbo displacement. This unit is capable to produce 250 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. According to specs sheet, a turbodiesel engine is returning up to 30 miles per gallon. Well, many will definitely pick an all-wheel-drive version for off-road adventures. In this case, the 2020 Ford F-150 diesel will return 21/28 mpg. We expect to see this powertrain under the hood of Raptor truck.
Now, we can speak loud about the 2020 Ford F-150 Hybrid. This will be a step to complete electrification of the truck and becoming a rival to Tesla. All-electric trucks will become reality sooner or later, and the latest moves by two giants in the automotive industry are giving us clear signals. Tesla teased their pickup, and Ford plans to electrify all its vehicles in foreseeable future. As one of the first models to get a new hybrid drivetrain is F-150 pickup truck. It could happen already in 2020 with some mild-hybrid system. Ram 1500 is already using the lightest version of it, which boosts fuel economy by 1 mpg. Ford would take it to another level, and we can be sure in it, since the Blue Oval company is investing over $5 billion dollars into the electrification project.
The new 2020 Ford F-150 will arrive late next year. We can't promise when, but the first vehicle to appear could be a diesel for 2019-2020 season. Unfortunately, there is no timetable for other versions, but we will see all important trim levels again, including Limited, Platinum, and King Ranch model.

"Credit unions like SECU are dedicated to member service. Providing fee-free cash access where and when members need it is a critical element of service delivery," said Brian Bailey, Cardtronics' EVP and Managing Director, North America. "By joining Allpoint, SECU has added another layer of convenience – nationwide access to surcharge-free ATMs – along with increased core market cash access that greatly surpasses that of the competition, which in turn helps SECU retain existing member relationships and attract new members."

CBN: What does it do?
"Pain relief. Anti-insomnia. Promotes growth of bone cells. Anti-bacterial. Anti-inflammatory. Anti-convulsive. Appetite stimulant."
But, CBN's most pronounced, characterizing attribute is it's sedative effect. In more simple terms, sleep. Sweet, calm, restful, rejuvenative sleep.
Controlled oxidation of hemp biomass.
CBN is a natural product of aging but often with low yields. By controlling oxygen, water content and temperature we are able to produce cannabanolic acid from industrial hemp.
CBN is extracted using alcohol and distilled using traditional short path distillation. It contains hemp oil lipids, terpenes and oxidized terpenoid products.
When CBN is engineered to be water soluble, the amount of CBN that reaches the bloodstream is increased. When bioavailability is increased by bypassing first pass metabolism, more CBN makes it through the metabolic procedure, resulting in an actual reduction of serving size.
This is true of any cannabinoid that is made water soluble.
Yes, we think extremely well. It has been reported that they have a synergizing effect. They amplify and work together in a very pleasant partnership.
We have CBN distillate and CBN water soluble isolate. That being said, right now, our capacity is 4 kg a month. We are looking to scale up, but, as of now, that's all that we can do. We're not a fly by night operation. We're not going anywhere. But, we want to be upfront about our limitations at this point, because if you've dealt with the cannabis industry even in a small way, you know how many outrageous and unsubstantiated things are claimed all the time.
If you have questions about purchasing CBN, click here to contact our broker to inquire about pricing and lead times.

Tekle Haymanot or Takla Haymanot (Ge'ez ተክለ ሃይማኖት takla hāymānōt, modern tekle hāymānōt, "Plant of Faith"; known in the Coptic Church as Saint Takla Haymanot of Ethiopia) (c. 1215 – c. 1313) was an Ethiopian monk who founded a major monastery in his native province of Shewa. He is significant for being the only Ethiopian saint popular both amongst Ethiopians and outside that country. Tekle Haymanot "is the only Ethiopian saint celebrated officially in foreign churches such as Rome and Egypt."[1] His feast day is August 17, and the 24th day of every month in the Ethiopian calendar is dedicated to Tekle Haymanot.[2]
Tekle Haymanot was born in Zorare, a district in Selale which lies on the eastern edge of Shewa. He was the son of the priest Tsega Zeab ("Gift of Faith") and his wife Egzi'e Haraya ("Choice of God"), who is also known as Sarah; Tekle Haymanot was born after his parents, who had failed to have children, pledged their firstborn to God. According to tradition, his ancestors had been Christians from Tigray who had settled in Shewa ten generations before.[3]
During his youth, Shewa was subject to a number of devastating raids by Motalami, the pagan king of Damot, which lay beyond the Jamma River. One of Motalami's most notorious predations was the raid which led to the abduction of Egzi'e Haraya; she is said to have been reunited with Sagaz Ab through the intercession of the Archangel Michael.[4] These raids weakened the morale of the Christians in Shewa, and strengthened the practice of paganism. There are a number of traditions, some of less historical value than others, which describe Tekle Haymanot's interactions with Motalami.
His father gave Tekle Haymanot his earliest religious instruction; later he was ordained a priest by the Egyptian Bishop Cyril (known as Kirollos in Coptic).
Later career
The first significant event in his life was when Tekle Haymanot, at the age of 30, travelled north to seek further religious education. His journey took him from Selale to Grarya, then Katata, Damot, Amhara,[4] to end at the monastery of Iyasus Mo'a, who had only a few years before founded a monastery on an island in the middle of Lake Hayq in the district of Amba Sel (the present-day Amhara Region). There Tekle Haymanot studied under the abbot for nine years before travelling to Tigray, where he visited Axum, then stayed for a while at the monastery of Debre Damo, where he studied under Abbot Yohannes, Iyasus Mo'a's spiritual teacher. By this point he had developed a small group of followers, attracted by his reputation.
Eventually Tekle Haymanot left Debre Damo with his followers to return to Shewa. En route, he stopped at Iyasus Mo'a's monastery in Lake Hayq, where tradition states he received the full investiture of an Ethiopian monk's habit. The historian Taddesse Tamrat sees in the existing accounts of this act an attempt by later writers to justify the seniority of the monastery in Lake Hayq over the followers of Tekle Haymanot.[5]
Once in Shewa, he introduced the spirit of renewal that Christianity was experiencing in the northern provinces. He settled in the central area between Selale and Grarya, where he founded in 1284 the monastery of Debre Atsbo (renamed in the 15th century Debre Libanos). This monastery became one of the most important religious institutions of Ethiopia, not only founding a number of daughter houses, but its abbot became one of the principal leaders of the Ethiopian Church, called the Echege, second only to the Abuna.
Tekle Haymanot lived for 29 years after the foundation of this monastery, dying in the year before Emperor Wedem Arad did; this would date Tekle Haymanot's death to 1313. He was first buried in the cave where he had originally lived as a hermit; almost 60 years later he was reinterred at Debre Libanos. In the 1950s, Emperor Haile Selassie constructed a new church at Debre Libanos Monastery over the site of the Saint's tomb. It remains a place of pilgrimage and a favored site for burial for many people across Ethiopia.
Later traditions
Tekle Haymanot is frequently represented as an old man with wings on his back and only one leg visible. There are a number of explanations for this popular image. C.F. Beckingham and G.W.B. Huntingford recount one story, that the saint "having stood too long, one of his legs broke, whereupon he stood on one foot for seven years."[6] Paul B. Henze describes his missing leg as appearing as a "severed leg ... in the lower left corner discreetly wrapped in a cloth."[7] The traveller Thomas Pakenham learned from the Prior of Debre Damo how Tekle Haymanot received his wings:
One day he said he would go to Jerusalem to see the Garden of Gethsemane and the hill of the skull that is called Golgotha. But Shaitan (Satan) planned to stop Tekla Haymanot going on his journey to the Holy Land, and he cut the rope which led from the rock to the ground just as Tekla Haymanot started to climb down. Then God gave Tekla Haymanot six wings and he flew down to the valley below ... and from that day onwards Teklahaimanot would fly back and forth to Jerusalem above the clouds like an airplane.[8]
Many traditions hold that Tekle Haymanot played a significant role in Yekuno Amlak's ascension as the restored monarch of the Solomonic dynasty,[9] following two centuries of rule by the Zagwe dynasty, although historians like Taddesse Tamrat believe these are later inventions. (A few older traditions credit Iyasus Mo'a with this honor.) Another tradition credits Tekle Haymanot as the only Abuna born in Ethiopia until the church was granted autocephaly in the 1950s.[10]
A number of gadlat[11] or hagiographies of this saint have been written. G.W.B. Huntingford mentions two different gadlat: "one written by Abba Samuel of Waldiba in the first quarter of the 15th century and the other by one Gibra Maskel of Debre Libanos early in the 16th century". E.A. Wallis Budge has translated a third one, entitled The Life of Täklä Haymanot,[12] which is attributed to one Täklä S'ion. Tesfaye Gebre Mariam adds to these another version, popular at the monastery of Debre Libanos and containing far more details of the saint's life than any other version of the gadla, and which Tesfaye confirmed was written by Ichege Yohannis Kema.[1]

'Power' watch with iconic time display.
Laszlo says: 'Power' an always on LCD watch with time/date functions.
Use the 5-1-5-1-4 time reading system (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 – 1 hours, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 – 5,- 1, 2, 3, 4 minutes).
The alarm mode: sound, sound and vibration, vibration.
This entry was posted in Design Submissions, Watch Designs and tagged cryptic, LCD Watch, sci-fi watch, Touch Screen Watch. Bookmark the permalink.
There is something very appealing about the display & the way it builds up the time, but it is a bit complicated for me. I would forget which markers meant what. Nevertheless, its a great design for people who prefer something more cryptic – well done Laszlo.
Crikey a Laszlo design in the sub 4s, that must be un-heard of?
I find the time telling on the difficult side but then I do struggle with the binary styles.
It looks great which would make me want to learn it. Your images as always are awesome! I remember Anders's version, its a great inspiration. Lets hope there is room on TF's watches page for one of them.
i really like the look, but the time-reading is too complicated for me. it would take me too long to figure it out. beautiful work, though! good luck!
The day before this was posted, I made a 1st draft with the same inspiration. The way the logo is divided is completely different.
I have 2 suggestions, to help the reading : Invert the 2 hours and the 10 minutes pieces, so the reading would be left-to-right.
Or : Flip, vertically, the 2 hours pieces & invert the 1 hour and the 5 minutes pieces so that the time reading start at 12 o'clock & end under it, after making a full circle.
Thank you for your suggestions! Food for thought.
Love your watches, Laszlo. I have a suggestion for you – try modelling your watches with a woman's hand! I think you'd get even more votes.
Hi Laszlo, the design of the watch is beautiful!
I really like the look of the design Lazlo. Maybe you can make telling the time a bit friendlier.
Thanks mushy. Perhaps the next plan will be simpler.
Good job. The best of luck!!

Eurogroup President Dijsselbloem Just Completely Contradicted Himself Already On Cyprus
Matthew Boesler
Mar. 25, 2013, 1:55 PM
flickr / Partij van de Arbeid
Earlier today, Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem made some comments in an interview with Reuters and the FT to the effect that the Cyprus bailout deal could considered a template for bank restructurings elsewhere in the euro area.
Naturally, this sent bank stocks in the euro periphery tumbling.
Now, it appears that the Eurogroup is backing off from the stance taken earlier by Dijsselbloem in the interview.
It just put out a two-sentence statement clarifying its position:
Cyprus is a specific case with exceptional challenges which required the bail-in measures we have agreed upon yesterday.
Macro-economic adjustment programmes are tailor-made to the situation of the country concerned and no models or templates are used.
Below, via Reuters, are the comments Dijsselbloem made in the interview earlier.
"What we've done last night is what I call pushing back the risks," Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who heads the Eurogroup of euro zone finance ministers, told Reuters and the Financial Times hours after the Cyprus deal was struck.
"If there is a risk in a bank, our first question should be 'Okay, what are you in the bank going to do about that? What can you do to recapitalise yourself?'. If the bank can't do it, then we'll talk to the shareholders and the bondholders, we'll ask them to contribute in recapitalising the bank, and if necessary the uninsured deposit holders," he said.
If that doesn't drive the point home that Cyprus could be viewed as a template for future restructurings going forward, additional comments from the FT's writeup of the joint interview should:
But he said that investor skittishness could ultimately make the financial sector healthier since it would raise the cost of financing for unsound banks.
"If I finance a bank and I know if the bank will get in trouble, I will be hit and I will lose money, I will put a price on that," Mr Dijsselbloem said. "I think it is a sound economic principle. And having cheap money because the risk will be covered by the government, and I will always get my money back, is not leading to the right decisions in the financial sector."
Apparently all it took was the market's reaction during the final few hours of trading in Europe for Dijsselbloem to rethink his comments.
