Tours begin near the ferry dock, with the statue of General Douglas MacArthur, who was reluctantly spirited away from the island before its capitulation. His famous words, "I shall return," adorn the statue's base, though he actually made the pronouncement in Darwin, Australia. From here tours take in all the main sights on the island, including the Filipino Heroes Monument, commemorating Philippine struggles from the Battle of Mactan in 1521 to the EDSA Revolution of 1986, and the Japanese Garden of Peace, where the Japanese were buried in 1945. Overgrown and lost, it was discovered in the 1980s, when the remains were cremated and brought back to Japan. A statue of the Buddhist bodhisattva Guanyin (or "Kannon" in Japanese) watches over the site. At some point you'll reach the Malinta Tunnel, a 253-metre-long chamber and connected network of damp underground bunkers where MacArthur (and President Manuel Quezon) set up temporary headquarters. Access is through an optional light-and-sound show that dramatizes the events of 1942 and is well worth the extra P150.
Elsewhere you'll see the ruined concrete shells of the once vast barracks that dotted the island, and the remains of various gun batteries, peppered with bullet and shell holes. You can also visit the Pacific War Memorial and its small museum containing weapons, old photos and uniforms that were left behind. Finally, clamber the 57 steps to the top of the old Spanish Lighthouse at the island's highest point (191m), for stupendous views across to Bataan and Mount Mariveles.
Away from the reminders of one of the war's most horrific battles, Corregidor is unspoiled, peaceful and a great break from the city: you can walk marked trails that meander through the hilly interior (look out for the monkeys and monitor lizards), rent a mountain bike or circle the island in a bangka and do some fishing.

Biografia

Benché appartenente alla nobile famiglia bolognese dei Beccadelli, il soprannome deriva dalla sua città natale, Palermo (Panormum), da cui si trasferì per girovagare nei principali centri culturali italiani dell'epoca: Firenze,  Padova, Siena, Roma, Pavia.

Nella città lombarda gli fu conferito l'insegnamento dell'eloquenza e qui scrisse i commentari alle commedie di Plauto e le Epistole Gallicae; a Pavia fu anche poeta alla corte di Filippo Maria Visconti.

Nel 1442 divenne ambasciatore a Parma e successivamente giunse a Napoli alla corte di Alfonso V d'Aragona diventandone consigliere e panegirista.

Nel 1448, in un ambiente culturalmente fervido come era quello della corte aragonese, fondò  l'Accademia Pontaniana (prima Accademia Antoniana, in seguito ribattezzata Pontaniana in onore dell'umanista Giovanni Pontano).

Tra le sue opere più celebri vanno annoverate l'Hermaphroditus (1425), raccolta in latino di epigrammi dai contenuti erotici piuttosto audaci, le Epistolae campanae (uscite postume nel 1474) e dell'opera De dictis et factis Alphonsi regis Aragonum.

A festive journey with some of the European greats. This discs which presents favourites by Mulet and Rutter also presents some rare masterpieces by Guy Bovet and John Langlais. A wonderful organ celebration for the festive season.


As Hafiz says, "Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor; it holds us upside down and shakes out all the nonsense." If you have ever truly been in love, you have experienced this total shake out. It can be cathartic as well as traumatic but regardless, it is always a necessary exchange along our path.
In our society we are so trained to see love as glamorous, romantic and perfect but what we fail to realize is that real love isn't always all of that. If it is REAL love, it can be all of that and much more but that doesn't mean it is always pretty nor is it always easy!
We only learn about who we are IN RELATIONSHIP to another human being. That is why our significant other generally tends to be the perfect mirror to us. They mirror back to us all the qualities in ourselves that we both like and do not like. This is natural and very common. It is also very common to get angry when what we see being projected back is not exactly what we were hoping to see!
As Hafiz says, love does us a favor and helps to shake out all the nonsense. It is that mirror that helps us to recognize what is going on with our own emotional wellbeing. It cuts to the chase and helps to eradicate unconscious behaviors. Relationships are battlegrounds for our own issues. We each instigate the issues out of the other allowing them to come to the surface for battle. We then have the choice as to whether we will allow ourselves to be taken down by those same issues or if we will choose to acknowledge them, do the work on them and allow them to heal.
Once you experience real love, it changes you forever. It helps you to grow into the being that you were meant to. Even if the relationship doesn't last, it was a significant gift that helped to transform you along your path. That is the definition of real love.
this is written so well and speaks to everyone on what love is.
especially how it may feel. thank you for speaking out and allowing us to learn from you.


I would like to say thank you to India Cakes for such a beautiful fondant cake and coming to the rescue at the last minute. The cake exceeded our expectations and looked stunning and tasted delicious. I will definitely recommend India Cakes to all my friends and family.

What's the CanWel Hardware deal really worth?
TIM-BR MART's $50 million bid to purchase CanWel Hardware, which is being financed through HSBC.
Insiders suggest that the cost of inventory from both the London, Ont., and Victoriaville, Que., distribution centres would be around $25 million. That's down from a high of a decade ago of $20-$25 million in each DC. If payables are to come out of the cost of the inventory, that would driving the cost of inventory down under $20 million. Based on that, the total cost to buy CanWel would be closer to $70 million.
Although TIM-BR MART has no history of running distribution businesses, both Rob Downs, promoted to president of CanWel Hardware just prior to the takeover announcement, and Andrew Allen, general manager of CanWel Hardware, are with the company and are expected to add valuable expertise.
Futura Holdings, through its CanWel Building Materials business, closed the purchase of 90% of Sodisco-Howden Group at the end of 2004 in a deal worth $64.3 million.
The two key real estate assets of the deal are the 350,000-sq.ft. London distribution centre and Victoriaville, which has more than 300,000 sq.ft. In its heyday, London generated about $150 million and Victoriaville used to generate another $200 million in sales and direct shipments. Add in LBM sales through Chalifour in Quebec.
Sales by Sodisco-Howden 2004 were $485.4 million. If total sales by CanWel — Hardware and Building Materials — were worth only $650 million at the time of the CanWel-Broadleaf merger earlier this year (down from $1.083 billion at the end of 2004), then the Hardware Division's sales are estimated to be at least one-half of what they were in 2004 – or about $240 million.
Can TIM-BR MART generate sales from its own dealers to grow CanWel Hardware? Total retail sales by TIM-BR MART dealers are nearly $4 billion; subtract $1 billion for the strictly commercial and GSD operations that have virtually no hardware sales, then the remaining dealers would have at least 10-15% of their sales from hardware, or at least $300 million. In wholesale terms, that would amount to about $195 million.
If all those hardware sales were ordered through the CanWel warehouse, TIM-BR MART would be well on its way to getting its hardware wholesale business to critical mass, especially considering that it does not have to generate a profit for shareholders (as CanWel Hardware did), because it is dealer-owned.
Add in the fact that the purchase of CanWel Hardware is part of a strategy to help TIM-BR MART increase sales through the front end of their operations. Tim Urquhart, president and CEO of TIM-BR MARTS Ltd., said last month that the deal will increase the ability of his dealer members to strengthen their hardlines assortments.
There is still, however, a great deal of uncertainty around how independents will align themselves, especially in light of RONA's acquisition of TruServ Canada. One major CanWel customer, Castle Building Centres, has already said it will look elsewhere for options, and new competitors like U.S.-based Orgill are making overtures in this market.
Where will the rest of CanWel's business come from? TIM-BR MART already sits at the negotiating table with retail competitors within the Spancan buying group. ILDC is the main member, which includes Sexton Group, La Coop fédérée and Federated Cooperatives (the latter two are also direct members of Spancan). Whether they will see a future being supplied by CanWel Hardware has yet to be determined. With the support of Spancan members and loyalty of its own members, TIM-BR MART could potentially make CanWel Hardware work.

Chesterfield, New Hampshire facts for kids
Chesterfield, New Hampshire
Main Street in 1909
www.nhchesterfield.com
Chesterfield is a town in Cheshire County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 3,604 at the 2010 census. It includes the villages of Spofford and West Chesterfield. Chesterfield is home to Spofford Lake, Chesterfield Gorge Natural Area, and parts of Pisgah State Park and Wantastiquet Mountain State Forest.
Granted in 1735 by Governor Jonathan Belcher of Massachusetts, this town was the site of Fort Number 1, first in the line of forts bordering the Connecticut River. After the border between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was fixed, the town was incorporated on 11 February 1752 by Governor Benning Wentworth as Chesterfield, named for Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield. The first settlers were Moses Smith and William Thomas, who, with their families, came up the Connecticut in canoes, in the fall of 1761. Their chief subsistence through the winter and spring of their first year in the wilderness consisted of salmon and shad, of which there was a great abundance in the river, and deer, which were numerous in the forests. The town contains some of the finest farmland in Cheshire County, yet once was home to small manufacturing, notably spinning wheel parts and handtools.
In 1772, Philip Embury conducted the first Methodist religious services in New Hampshire at the James Robertson farm in Chesterfield, and in 1803, Francis Asbury preached here. Asbury Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized for its historic puritan design. Asbury Church is considered the "Mother Church of Methodism" in New Hampshire, and is the oldest Methodist church in New Hampshire. The town has had continual Methodist Sunday services for over 225 years.
Chesterfield Academy, established in 1794, was for decades one of the most celebrated in the state. Spofford Lake is one of the region's largest and oldest resorts.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 47.6 square miles (123 km2), of which 45.6 sq mi (118 km2) is land and 2.0 sq mi (5.2 km2) (4.21%) is water. Chesterfield is bounded on the west by the Connecticut River. The highest point in the town is near its southern border, atop Davis Hill, at 1,427 feet (435 m) above sea level. Chesterfield lies fully within the Connecticut River watershed.
The town is served by state routes 9 and 63.
As of the census of 2000, there were 3,542 people, 1,366 households, and 1,005 families residing in the town. The population density was 77.7 people per square mile (30.0/km²). There were 1,632 housing units at an average density of 35.8 per square mile (13.8/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 97.80% White, 0.23% African American, 0.56% Native American, 0.17% Asian, 0.08% from other races, and 1.16% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.56% of the population.
There were 1,366 households out of which 32.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 63.5% were married couples living together, 6.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 26.4% were non-families. 20.4% of all households were made up of individuals and 6.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.59 and the average family size was 3.01.

Some ten years ago, when Jean-Daniel Muller and his friend, Jean-Michel Ricard, were studying to become sports teachers – both aged 23 – they felt that not enough was being done to help the elderly. So, they decided to develop a series of exercises for the elderly as part of their 3-month practicum, which would eventually form the basis of an innovative scheme.

Sometimes I wish I could have more time to snap photos of what I wear, it takes so long before I do another outfit post. This however was worn to attend a wedding this weekend. I didn't even plan to get a new dress for this event, but since it fell into my lap I plan to overwear it. Yes!
Finally, this sort of summer-y weather makes floral prints blend perfectly with the surroundings.
and you can wear it all summer as well!

La càrrega energètica és un índex utilitzat per mesurar l'estat energètic de les cèl·lules i que està relacionat amb les concentracions d'ATP i ADP.

La càrrega energètica pren valors entre 0 i 1, on 0 és el mínim de càrrega energètica (tota l'adenosina està en forma d'AMP) i 1 és el màxim (tota l'adenosina està trifosfatada). La càrrega energètica normal en una cèl·lula se situa al voltant de 0,9.

En disminuir el valor de càrrega energètica degut al consum d'ATP, s'activen els mecanismes de producció d'ATP, alhora que se'n disminueix el consum. Quan s'assoleixen concentracions altes d'ATP se n'inhibeixen els mecanismes principals de producció (rutes catabòliques), alhora que s'estimulen les rutes anabòliques, que consumeixen ATP.

Last week, friends arrived for a long-awaited fourteen day visit. They arrived with two young children, bringing the number in the house up to three. It has been a busy time with trips to museums, parks, tubing on the Delaware, etc. They are active people and it has been very hot so whether we go out or stay home all three children spend hours swimming and by bed time are exhausted.
One of our friends, Anne-Marie, writes children's short stories and every night reads that day's story out loud to see how it flows before editing. On a normal night our son can take a half hour brushing his teeth and putting on his PJ's, but when he hears; "Story in five minutes," he scuttles off immediately and is ready and waiting within the required time (we do check and make sure he has actually brushed his teeth).
The stories are the nightly adventures of two friends, so while the setting is the same, the story is different. Our son became very fond of the two characters and would wonder during the day what he would hear that night. He found the newness of a freshly-written story exciting.
Our son is used to a nightly story time. Yet these new stories, full of fun and adventures, read by someone who is not a parent while he's sitting with his friends, will be a time he remembers for the rest of his life.

British Honorifics or, How To Address Politicians.
Hundreds of Iraqi interpreters employed by the British Armed Forces in Iraq are being rejected after applying to live in Britain for their own safety.
Out of 700 who have now applied through the Ministry of Defence for the special settlement scheme announced by the Government last year, 300 have been rejected already, the MoD said yesterday.
Only 170 have been told they are eligible, and the rest are being processed. Successful applicants will be allowed to bring their closest dependants, including grandparents, if the Home Office accepts them as refugees.
An additional 180 Iraqis have applied through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office because they worked at the British Embassy in Baghdad or at other diplomatic missions. Of these, 38 have been turned down either for the settlement deal or for the alternative financial assistance package, The Times has learnt.
Defence sources said applicants were failing to meet the Government\'s strict eligibility conditions under which ex-Iraqi employees are required to prove 12 months of continuous employment with the British forces.

In this article, Russell Bowyer of Bowraven takes a gander at one of the key factors that influences the two deals and benefits in a private venture: normal exchange esteem.
A considerable measure of entrepreneurs get disappointed with the absence of development of their business. Numerous need to develop their deals and increment their benefits. In any case, most don't generally know where to start.
A beginning stage to build your deals and benefits is to venture back and to survey what factors make up your deals. Likewise, audit what factors in your independent venture influence your benefits, yet in addition which ones influence these the most. Take a gander at which benefit driver has the greatest effect and will create the best development comes about.
When you know which factors influence the cosmetics of your deals and benefits, you'll have the capacity to focus on every one, to begin developing your business in a significantly more engaged way.There are numerous variables that influence the two deals and benefits in an independent company, yet in this article I take a gander at one of those, which is your normal exchange value.What is your normal exchange value?The normal exchange an incentive for your private venture is computed by isolating the aggregate of all business exchanges over a given period, by the quantity of exchanges in the same period.To ascertain a more precise normal exchange esteem, take a stab at utilizing a more drawn out period. Ideally 12 months.
How does changing my normal exchange esteem influence my deals and profits?To help see how your normal exchange esteem impacts your deal and benefits, this is better clarified by method for example.First, we should investigate the normal exchange recipe.
A private company (XYZ Limited) has yearly offers of £250,000.
The quantity of exchanges in this same period were 2,756.
On this level of offers, XYZ Limited makes £27,500 benefit; where their gross overall revenue is 60 for every penny, and overheads are £122,500.
An independent company (XYZ Limited) has yearly offers of £250,000.
On this level of offers, XYZ Limited makes £27,500 benefit; where their gross net revenue is 60 for each penny, and overheads are £122,500.
Normal exchange for XYZ Limited: £250,000/3,756 = £66.56What's the subsequent stage once you have your normal exchange value?Now that you have your normal exchange esteem, you would then be able to make the main engaging inquiry, which is: 'The thing that do I figure I could build my normal exchange to?'Your mind adores addresses and will dependably search for an answer.Let's expect with our illustration business XYZ Limited, the entrepreneur made this inquiry. How about we likewise accept his answer was he figured he could sensibly build it to £75.00.The coming about deals for XYZ constrained would progress toward becoming: 3,756 x £75.00 = £281,700.From an expansion in the normal exchange estimation of £8.44, add up to deals have expanded by £31,700.However, where the genuine enchantment occurs with concentrating on the normal exchange esteem is as far as the benefit growth.One of the advantages of focused the normal exchange esteem, is that influencing its expansion once in a while if at all influences the overheads of the business. On that presumption, and in light of the reexamined normal exchange of £75.00, the overhauled benefits would be, as follows:XYZ Limited benefits: £281,700 X 60 for every penny = £169,020 – £122,500 = £46,520So from the same £8.44 increment in the normal exchange esteem, benefits have expanded by £19,020. This speaks to a 69.1 for every penny increment from a 12.7 for every penny increment in the normal exchange esteem.

There is a sickness in American which needs to be cured. The body infected is Western Media across thepolitical spectrum, and the bug in this case is the idea of "Political Correctness", picked up by theAmerican Left after being in bed withStalin without protection. This contagious form of insanity requires a person to apply a layer of double-think to any event that even might have political ramifications and, since politics and morality are made one by the PC germ, that covers a lot of ground.

In the wake of Fort Hood jihad, Houston authorities try to assure non-Muslims that steps are being taken to keep them safe — no, wait…
Silly me. I thought that after an Islamic jihadist murdered twelve innocent non-Muslims, it would be the non-Muslims who would need reassuring and protecting. But of course that non-existent backlash takes priority over 12 dead unbelievers.

KILLEEN — Almost exactly 24 hours after Thursday's shootings at Fort Hood, Sgt. Fahad Kamal knelt in a small red-brick mosque near the base and prayed for strength.
The 26-year-old combat medic from Sugar Land worships every Friday at Masjidu Ttaqwa on Fort Hood Road, where suspected shooter Nidal Malik Hasan attended services after moving to Killeen from Washington, D.C., this summer.
"I just want to show myself in a positive way for the religion I represent," he said. "I just hope people don't stereo type."
Groups reeling
From Killeen to Houston, Thursday's killings at Fort Hood left Texas' tight-knit Muslim community reeling. Though the attack has been universally condemned by U.S. Muslim organizations, some worry that it could give the ignorant an excuse to stereotype and lash out at Muslims — or worse.
The problem, of course, is that so many Muslims point to Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism. But that, of course, is never mentioned here.
In March 2009, five Muslims accused of helping plot the September 11 attacks, including the notorious Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, wrote an "Islamic Response to the Government's Nine Accusations." In it they quote the Koran to justify their jihad war against the American Infidels. "In God's book," asserts the letter, "he ordered us to fight you everywhere we find you, even if you were inside the holiest of all holy cities, The Mosque in Mecca, and the holy city of Mecca, and even during sacred months. In God's book, verse 9 [actually verse 5], Al-Tawbah [the Koran's 9th chapter]: Then fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, and besiege them and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush."
Osama bin Laden's communiqués have also quoted the Koran copiously. In his 1996 "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places," he quotes seven Koran verses: 3:145; 47:4-6; 2:154; 9:14; 47:19; 8:72; and the notorious "Verse of the Sword," 9:5. Bin Laden began his October 6, 2002, letter to the American people with two Koran quotations, both of a martial bent: "Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" (22:39) and "Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan" (4:76)."
In a sermon broadcast in 2003, bin Laden rejoiced in a Koranic exhortation to violence as being a means to establish the truth: "Praise be to Allah who revealed the verse of the Sword to his servant and messenger [the Islamic Prophet Muhammad], in order to establish truth and abolish falsehood." The "Verse of the Sword" is Koran 9:5: "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
The idea that the Koran commands them to do violence to unbelievers runs from the very top of the international jihadist movement – Osama bin Laden – down to the rank and file. Overall, it is extremely rare – if not impossible – to find a jihadist who does not cite the Koran to justify his actions. Britain-based jihadist preacher, Abu Yahya, asserts simply, "It says in the Koran that we must try as much as we can to terrorise the enemy." And Pakistani jihad leader Beitullah Mehsud claims that "Allah on 480 occasions in the Holy Koran extols Muslims to wage jihad. We only fulfill God's orders. Only jihad can bring peace to the world." He specified that his jihad – struggle in Arabic – was an offensive military operation: "We will continue our struggle until foreign troops are thrown out. Then we will attack them in the US and Britain until they either accept Islam or agree to pay jazia." The "jazia," or jizya, is a tax that the Koran (9:29) specifies must be levied on Jews, Christians, and some other non-Muslim faiths as a sign of their subjugation under the Islamic social order.
One pro-Osama website put it this way: "The truth is that a Muslim who reads the Koran with devotion is determined to reach the battlefield in order to attain the reality of Jihad. It is solely for this reason that the Kufaar [unbelievers] conspire to keep the Muslims far away from understanding the Koran, knowing that Muslims who understand the Koran will not distance themselves from Jihad."
In Houston, government officials have been working to reassure Muslims that they're safe, pointing out that there have been few cases of retaliation locally after previous attacks involving Muslims.
There have been few cases anywhere. So few that CAIR has had to invent them.

So the question begs: What exactly have these goodwill gestures achieved?
Answer: Last Tuesday, Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement denying the Jewish People's historical connection to Jerusalem.
In retrospect, however, Regev's characterization of Abbas' denial of Jewish history is woefully inaccurate; for Abbas' revisionism is, in fact, concerted and purposeful, and therefore constitutes an attempt to alter reality.
To this end, Abbas gave two other major international addresses over the past year in which he explicitly denied the Jewish connection to Israel, including Jerusalem.
Abbas omitted any mention of Jewish patriarch Abraham, whose presence in Israel superseded both Jesus' and that of Muhammad's descendants, and whose divine connection, indeed claim to the Holy Land is indisputable.
However, given that Netanyahu has had a front-row seat from which to witness Abbas' slights of speech, a more logical conclusion is that his administration is deliberately ignoring reality. More specifically, Netanyahu must believe that it serves Israel's interests to downplay Abbas' overt hostility towards the Jewish state in order to portray him as a "moderate." This notion is reinforced by Regev's description of Abbas' most recent inversion of history as "the usual domain of extremist elements," a category of Middle Eastern players from which Regev implies the Palestinian leader is excluded. And if Abbas is not an extremist, then by extension he must be a moderate.
Yet Abbas is no friend to Israel and Netanyahu also knows this; Abbas is, after all, the man who pronounced that the Palestinians "won't agree to recognize something called the Jewish state," and "will never allow a single Israeli to live…on Palestinian land." But "moderate" is a relative term, and the Israeli government apparently has concluded that presently Abbas is the best of a bad lot and therefore warrants support.
On the surface the Netanyahu's policy—choosing the least of various evils, so to speak—appears rational. That is, so long as the damage caused by the lesser evil can be limited and mitigated (if not controlled).
And herein lies the essential dilemma: The Israeli government's assumption is wrong; Abbas' diplomatic terrorism, in the words of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, cannot be contained.
Nor will any amount of political maneuvering change this fact. For entangled in the two-decades-long diplomatic black hole colorfully referred to as the "peace process," the Israeli government's decision-making strategy—as evidenced by Netanyahu's ongoing support of Abbas—has invariably been reduced to choosing between varying degrees of terror (diplomatic vs. armed). And there simply is no bright future for a country whose options range from bad to worse.
Therefore, the charade has to stop, before the cumulative negative effect of pursuing for twenty years a destructive policy—making endless concessions and goodwill gestures in a futile attempt to appease evil—reaches a critical mass leading to "reactor" meltdown.
Which brings us back to Abbas' repeated and self-serving denials of Jewish history.
The Jewish People's millennia-old connection to the Land of Israel is the foremost justification for the current and ongoing existence of a Jewish state on that land. If the Jewish People never resided in Israel, so the logic of its enemies goes, then there is no reason for Jews to be there today or to remain there tomorrow. Moreover, it is the Jewish People's historical connection to its Land which forms the basis of the 20th-century legal validation of the Jewish state.
Remove Abraham from the equation and there is no Balfour Declaration and no British Mandate.
It is this fundamental historical connection that Abbas, along with his financiers and sympathizers worldwide, is attempting to whitewash, with the aim of delegitimizing Israel out of existence.
And, alas, it is working.
Consider, as but one of many examples, South Africa's recent decision to modify its labeling of products originating from the West Bank so as to exclude the "Made in Israel" tag.
Then consider that the West Bank is in fact located in a geographic region historically known as Judea and Samaria, a portion of the Land of Israel from which the word Jew is derived.
This is what happens when Jewish history is denied and reality is altered.
And, quite frankly, it is hypocritical for the Israeli government to be up-in-arms over Pretoria's move. For the Israeli government itself supports the ongoing governance of the very man spearheading the campaign of de-legitimization which results in such anti-Israel episodes. In other words, every time the Israeli government absurdly portrays Abbas as a "moderate," it invites anti-Israel forces such as South Africa to express their hostility. For, if Jerusalem is "occupied Palestine" as Abbas contends, and Israel is seen supporting Abbas, then certainly the West Bank is occupied too and South Africa has every reason to adopt the Palestinian leader's position by labeling products accordingly.
In this respect, it is imperative for Israel to extricate itself from a process whose strategic paradigm consists of opting for lesser evils, and whose inevitable outcome is the country's de-legitimization.
At any rate, peace cannot be forged with the Palestinians so long as their leadership continues to deny Jewish history; which is, quite literally, an attempt to erase Israel from the pages of time.

Scatti rubati (L'Homme qui voulait vivre sa vie) è un film del 2010 diretto da Éric Lartigau.

Un uomo, uccidendo accidentalmente l'amante della moglie, decide di sparire dal mondo.
Il soggetto è tratto dal romanzo The Big Picture di Douglas Kennedy.

Trama

Paul Exben è un avvocato di successo, ha una moglie, due bei bambini piccoli, ma il suo matrimonio attraversa un brutto periodo.
La moglie, da lui incoraggiata a tentare la strada del successo come scrittrice, in realtà si sente fallita nel suo progetto che oltretutto l'ha isolata dal mondo e da altre prospettive lavorative.
Quando scopre una sua bugia, Paul incomincia a sospettare di essere tradito. Ad una serata tra amici la osserva con attenzione e capisce che c'è qualcosa con Grégoire, un loro vicino, fotografo privo di talento. Andatolo a trovare, questi non prova minimamente a negare l'evidenza e poi, dopo aver chiesto che senso avesse quella visita, provoca deliberatamente Exben, che sulle prime fa per andarsene poi ha una reazione violenta. La colluttazione che nasce finisce per far cadere a terra Grégoire che resta ucciso in circostanze fortuite. Paul, scioccato, lascia l'uomo riverso nel giardino della sua grande casa, e va via. Passato lo choc, torna nella casa e dà il via ad un lucido e complesso piano.

A piano ultimato, Exben ha fatto scomparire il cadavere e, con i documenti della vittima, è scappato all'estero facendo credere a tutti di essere morto in un incidente di barca. In un piccolo villaggio della Serbia-Montenegro, con le generalità dell'uomo da lui ucciso, intraprende l'attività di fotografo, che per altro è una sua vecchia passione abbandonata. Sebbene conduca una vita isolata finisce per fare amicizia con un francese incontrato casualmente. Questi, ospitato a casa sua, ne vede le foto, e ne è così colpito da proporle al giornale per il quale lavora. Così per Paul, è un immediato successo. L'esposizione mediatica mette a dura prova la sua volontà di scomparire dal mondo e la necessità di non far ricomparire quel Grégoire Kremer che lui, operando via e-mail, ha pian piano fatto allontanare da amici e conoscenti senza troppe spiegazioni.

Si rende così necessaria una nuova fuga. Stavolta opta per il Sud America, da raggiungere via mare. Imbarcato in fretta su un mercantile, durante la prima notte di navigazione si scatena sul ponte una violenta rissa, durante la quale tre clandestini vengono gettati in mare dai membri dell'equipaggio. L'istinto del fotografo lo porta a immortalare questi momenti ma, scoperto, viene lui stesso gettato in mare dai marinai che aveva ritratto. Al buio e in mezzo al mare, la situazione sembra disperata finché non scorge una scialuppa di salvataggio, lanciata in acqua dal marinaio cui aveva versato il prezzo della traversata; salitovi sopra, e issatovi l'ultimo dei clandestini, gettato in mare con lui, viene poi salvato dalla guardia costiera italiana.

A terra sviluppa le foto del rullino che aveva con scaltrezza conservato e le dà al compagno di sventura che, per la stampa, alla caccia di scoop, diventa l'abile ed eroico fotografo da mettere in prima pagina.

Produzione
Le fotografie con le quali ha successo il protagonista sono opera di Antoine d'Agata, affermato professionista francese.

Riprese
Le riprese sono state effettuate tra Parigi e il Montenegro.

DLT's Hellman v. McCarthy
Address: 210 N Pentz St, Dalton, GA 30720
Admission: $10- students, $12- seniors & DLT members, $15- general admission
Over at Dalton Little Theatre, "Hellman v. McCarthy," by Brian Richard Mori, is the next play to take stage. Run time is January 20, 21, 22, 27 & 28. Doug May is the director. Mary Therese McCarthy (who lived from 1912-1989) and Lillian Florence Hellman (who lived from 1905-1984) were literary giants of their time. This play is a fictionalized account of the greatest literary feud in Modern American History. The audience will see the story unfold of two literary giants; two women who should have been great allies but ended their lives battling each other in court. They became infamous enemies after a confrontation at a poetry seminar at Sarah Lawrence College some thirty years before Hellman's lawsuit for libel was filed on February 15, 1980. Hellman's lawsuit claimed $2.2 million in damages due to Mary McCarthy's accusation, made during an interview on Dick Cavett's late night talk show, that "Every word Hellman writes is a lie, including "and" and "the"! Many writers and supporters of free speech rushed to McCarthy's defense, including an heiress, who picked up McCarthy's $25,000 legal defense fees and saved her from certain financial ruin. In 1984 Hellman died before the lawsuit came to trial, and the suit was dropped. Come see sparks fly as the two "grand dames" duel both in and out of courtrooms for four years – for a total of one hundred and thirty-five days! DLT's "Hellman V. McCarthy" features Kitty Reel as Lillian Hellman and Judith Beasley as Mary McCarthy. Tickets are now available at daltonlittletheatre.com

Summer is coming up fast and with it, a large number of marathons, half marathons, and 5K runs. If you plan on participating in any of these upcoming marathons, it is important to start getting your feet ready now. No matter if this is your first run or you are a marathon professional, proper foot care is essential for avoiding injury during your marathon. And it is imperative to do all you can to safeguard yourself during a marathon because the length of time and physical demands that a marathon put on your body increases your risk for sustaining foot or ankle injuries. Here some tips for preparing your feet for Marathon.
One of the most critical steps for avoiding pain during your Marathon is having the right type of footwear that is tailored to your feet. For example, if you have flat feet, it is important to have shoes that support you and stabilize your ankles while those with high arches need shoes that have extra cushioning for shock absorption. Proper footwear can help you avoid a number of common running injuries such as calluses, blisters, heel pain and sprained ankles.
It may seem like a minor detail, but wearing the correct socks during the day of your run is an important step in keeping your feet protected from injury. You can't just wear your regular everyday cotton socks because they absorb moisture rather than shed it. This is important to note because wet socks can cause painful blisters during a run. To avoid blisters it is best to invest in a pair of socks made from materials that shed moisture and are also breathable such as polyester and CoolMax. You may also wish to double up on your socks for extra blister protection.
While training for your Marathon be sure to increase your daily runs gradually. If you increase your distance and speed too soon, you are may cause your body undue stress and therefore, are more likely to be injured. It is also important for you to have the correct nutrition while training for your Marathon. You should eat a diet that is rich in calcium, vitamin C and E in order to maintain strong and healthy bones and prevent injuries.
Pain is a significant indication that something may be wrong with your feet, especially if it worsens over time. If you experience pain at any point during your training, it is important to seek attention from a foot care professional as soon as you can. If left untreated, this may result in a severe injury during the marathon.
Now that you know how to get your feet ready for a marathon be sure to follow these best practices before your next run. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns about getting ready for a marathon. To schedule an appointment, visit doctorvikki.com.

If at First You Don't Succeed, Temp, Temp Again
If you find the hours and grind of a full-time legal job daunting, consider temping. The legal industry has increasingly turned to temporary staffing as a means to keep a lid on costs. Industry analysts estimate that legal temporary staffing, whether for lawyers, paralegals, or clerks, represents a $300 to $500 million market, with growth rates of over 25 percent annually.
Happily, the increase in temp numbers has been accompanied by an increase in prestige for temporary lawyers. Jeff Silber, an analyst at institutional research group Gerard, Klauer, Mattison, & Co., recently told The National Law Journal: "Temp lawyers used to have a stigma, but the legal staffing business is really starting to move upscale." For job seekers, the increasing availability and prestige of legal temping jobs means a better lifestyle, higher compensation, and the chance to crack some of the country's most exclusive firms.
The legal temp field breaks down into two categories: traditional temps and "wholesale lawyers." The latter term was coined by David A. Robinson, author of the ABA's "Practicing Law Without Clients." Robinson describes a wholesale lawyer as a freelancer who finds her or his own assignments, producing legal product for the "retail lawyers" working for the client. "Most of what wholesale lawyers do is ghostwriting," Robinson told the NLJ, citing the example of a West Virginia lawyer who worked writing administrative law judge opinions for 15 hours a week at $75 dollars an hour.
By contrast, traditional temp lawyers, like their counterparts in other industries, go through the intermediary of the temp agency. These organizations have flourished in the 1990s, as law firms remain wary of overhiring. Legal staffing agencies include New York's Strategic Legal Services (www.strategiclegal.com), Washington DC's Pat Taylor and Associates (www.pattaylor.com); and LawCorps (www.lawcorps.com). Pat Taylor and Associates boasts a sparkling client list featuring top notch firms and organizations such as Latham & Watkins, Patton Boggs, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Arnold & Porter; Skadden Arps; Mayer Brown, National Geographic Television, and Paul Hastings.
Temping arrangements offer several advantages over traditional lawyering. For wholesale lawyers, many say the most prominent advantage of working part-time is simply working part-time. Wholesale lawyers can make their own hours and telecommute, a boon to those who wish to spend more time with families or pursue interests other than the law.
For lawyers working through an agency, there are two important advantages. First, these lawyers can avoid being pigeonholed into a particular career path or substantive area of the law, increasingly the fate of full-time associates at many firms. Granted, temporary lawyers may often get assignments in less exciting jobs, notably document management or discovery chores. However, as one temp attorney told the NLJ, "discovery is on par with the rest of law - it's no more or less exciting."
Second, temp jobs aren't always temporary. Temp staffing specialists estimate that 15 to 20 percent of temps get permanent offers. For those spurned during campus recruiting, the temp job can provide a handy back door.
Of course, temping isn't all hearts and flowers. Pay can stoop as low as $14 dollars an hour (far, far below the compensation of most full-time lawyers). Furthermore, law firms often hire temp attorneys to cover themselves in case business goes south. Should things slow down, the temp gets the axe before anyone else. Many temp attorneys, however, seem willing to live with these risks to enjoy the independence and other benefits that temping affords.

Will Reds get Scooter-style surprise this spring?
Editor's note: With Spring Training fast approaching, MLB.com is taking a look at different aspects of the 2018 Reds. Today's topic: predicting the 25-man roster.
CINCINNATI -- They say there are few certainties in life other than death and taxes. A similar sentiment holds true for baseball: There are only a few things you can always bank on in Major League Baseball.
One of them is that one way or another, teams will set a 25-man roster just ahead of Opening Day on March 29. Of course, the journey the Reds take getting to that point is just beginning, and they can take multiple paths to complete the process.
• Spring Training previews:What is the vision? | Who will build buzz?
Who will fill out the back of the rotation? Who will get the last three spots in the bullpen? Who will make up the bench? Injuries have rocked the Reds in recent camps -- can the club stay relatively healthy? If there are injuries, how will that affect the outcome of the roster? Could there be a surprise waiver claim, like Scooter Gennett at the end of camp last year?
Before pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday, here is the first educated guess as MLB.com projects the Reds' Opening Day roster.
For the first time, the depth chart is reversed; Barnhart will be the primary catcher with Mesoraco backing him up. Barnhart earned a four-year contract and a National League Gold Glove Award for his strong work last season. A 2014 All-Star, Mesoraco has been sidetracked by big injuries each of the last three years and will be trying to reboot himself again.
No drama to be found here, as the runner-up for the NL MVP Award is back following up the best season of his 11-year career.
Cincinnati's best pickup of 2017 cost the club nothing more than a waiver claim before the final day of Spring Training. Gennett slugged 27 home runs with 97 RBIs in a breakout year. Mostly injured with a bad right shoulder since his July '16 trade from the Mets for Jay Bruce, Herrera is out of options and puts the club in a bind. Can he be healthy and productive enough to remain on the roster?
Peraza opened 2017 as Brandon Phillips' replacement but struggled and lost the job at second base to Gennett. Still 23, he now replaces departed free agent Zack Cozart and gets to play his natural position.
Suarez has become a superb defensive third baseman in a short amount of time. He also hit 26 homers last season.
Currently, the plan is to have the four outfielders rotate among three spots with the odd man out being a bench option. The club believes Winker is ready to get significant playing time after his second-half performance last season.
Both are non-roster players in camp, so that will be an extra hoop to clear for them to make the team. Gosselin can play five positions, including shortstop. Kivlehan was with the team all of last season and batted only .208, but manager Bryan Price liked his versatility -- he can also play five positions -- and he has power potential from the bench after cracking nine homers last year. He led the club in 2017 with 57 pinch-hit plate appearances.
The first three spots are going to veterans trying to bounce back from injuries. Castillo made himself a lock with a sensational 15 starts as a rookie last season. The fifth spot is up for grabs, but the edge goes to Romano for now. But he wasn't the only rookie to come on strong down the stretch; Robert Stephenson also impressed with a 2.74 ERA in his final eight starts. And Tyler Mahle also looked good in a small sample size. Amir Garrett, Cody Reed, Michael Lorenzen and others will be part of this battle.
Iglesias will close after logging 28 saves last season, and the free-agent signings of Hughes and Hernandez are expected to bring stability. Lorenzen will get a spot if he doesn't make the rotation. It's possible another pitcher who doesn't make the rotation could land here. Hernandez is a wild-card choice because of the control issues he experienced as a rookie, but he has a lot of upside with velocity and a nasty curveball. Worley, signed to a Minor League deal, could be a potential swing man with experience as a starter and long reliever. Others in the battle for the final spots could be Kevin Shackelford, Kyle Crockett, Kevin Quackenbush, Austin Brice and Jeff Manship and prospects Jimmy Herget and Zack Weiss.

Hottest ladies of country music
By Wonderwall.com Editors 8:25am PST, Nov 6, 2019
In honor of the 2019 CMA Awards on Nov. 13, Wonderwall.com rounded up the hottest — and most talented — women in the country music genre, starting with Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott. She wrapped up her band's "Summer Plays On" tour in 2018 after releasing a new album, "Heart Break," in 2017. She also became a mama of three when she welcomed twin girls in January 2018. In 2019, she and her Lady A bandmates kicked off a Las Vegas residency. Keep reading for more…
RELATED: What country singers looked like at the start of their careers
Country-turned-pop singer Taylor Swift has reached truly icon status. She's one of the bestselling music artists of all time, having sold more than 50 million albums — including 27.8 million in the States — and 150 million single downloads. Taylor is also the winner of 10 Grammys, one Emmy, 23 Billboard Music Awards and 12 Country Music Association Awards! She released her seventh album, "Lover," in 2019 and is set to star in the movie-musical "Cats" in December 2019. Taylor also seems to have found lasting love with British actor Joe Alwyn, whom she quietly began dating in 2016.
RELATED: The business of being Lady Gaga
Carrie Underwood released a top-selling album, "Cry Pretty," in 2018, hosted the 2018 Country Music Association Awards and kicked off the "Cry Pretty Tour 360" in May 2019. But despite all her success, the Oklahoma bombshell always makes time for family. The country crooner welcomed her second son, Jacob, with husband Mike Fisher in January 2019.
RELATED: Stars who had babies in 2019
With her pierced nose, lyrics about smoking pot and that alt-country vibe, Kacey Musgraves isn't a typical Nashville star — and that suits her just fine. She's released four critically acclaimed albums and took home the top prize at the 2019 Grammy Awards — album of the year for "Golden Hour." "I'm just kind of over the angry Southern ball-busting chick songs," Texas-bred Kacey told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013. "Not that I don't have times where I'm angry or sassy … I'd rather be more of the hippie country chick — as in, instead of pointing a finger, just maybe saying, 'We're all screw-ups. We're all in this kind of together. We're all just figuring this out.'"
Miranda Lambert is more than just a country music superstar. In early 2013, she opened up a store and ice cream parlor, The Pink Pistol, in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, where she lived with now-ex Blake Shelton. She continues to help animal shelters across the country through her MuttNation Foundation charity. As for her music? Miranda released a 2018 album with her group the Pistol Annies and dropped a new solo album, "Wildcard," on Nov. 1, 2019. She also shocked the world when she announced that she'd secretly wed NYPD officer Brendan McLoughlin in January 2019.
Maren Morris has seen almost nonstop success since she hit the country scene in 2016. She's up for six awards at the 2019 CMA Awards all thanks to her hit-producing album "Girl," which came out in 2018. She's also teamed up with fellow country stars Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires and Natalie Hemby to form the supergroup The Highwomen. In October 2019, she announced that she and her new husband, singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd, are expecting their first child together — a son — in 2020.
If you don't know Michigan native Jana Kramer from her hit "Why Ya Wanna" — which earned her two CMT Music Award nominations — you probably recognize her from her acting career, which has seen her on everything from "One Tree Hill" and "Entourage" to "Friday Night Lights" and "90210." When it comes to country music, she knows her way around the themes of love and loss: She's been divorced twice (her second marriage, to actor Johnathon Schaech, lasted less than a month) and is currently married to former NFL player Mike Caussin. The couple, who share two children, briefly separated in 2016 due to Mike's sex addiction issues, but are now back together and sharing their journey of healing with fans, often on Jana's popular "Whine Down with Jana Kramer" podcast.
It's been a helluva ride for Faith Hill. The mother of three wrapped up her 2018 tour, "Soul2Soul: The World Tour," with husband Tim McGraw and released a joint album, "The Rest of Our Life," with Tim in 2017. Faith was also reportedly the inspiration for lead character Rayna James on the hit series "Nashville" — thanks in part to her tenacity. "I've always had a strong work ethic," she told People magazine in 2014. "But it's greater now because I know they're paying attention. It's important for my girls to see I'm a working mom … that I had a dream and I'm still making it happen."
All hail country queen Reba McEntire! She's racked up nearly 60 top 10 singles over her four-decade career, influenced every female country star worth knowing and launched two successful television comedy series, helping to make country music more mainstream than ever. The Country Music Hall of Fame rightly honored the superstar starting in 2014 with an exhibit called "Reba: All the Women I Am." Never one to slow down, Reba released her 29th studio album, "Stronger Than the Truth," in April 2019, and returned to host the 54th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards the same month.
After three solo albums, Jennifer Nettles reunited with longtime collaboration Kristian Bush as Sugarland in 2017! The mother of one — who welcomed son Magnus in 2012 — released Sugarland's sixth studio album, "Bigger," in 2018.
It's been a busy few years for Ashley Monroe. Her critically acclaimed fourth album "Sparrow" dropped in April 2018; her new album with her band the Pistol Annies, "Interstate Gospel," was released in November 2018; and she welcomed her first child, a son, with her husband, former Chicago White Sox pitcher John Danks, in August 2017. "I never had a backup plan. I never wanted one. So I just kept going," the Tennessee-bred singer (who goes by "Hippie Annie" when she's performing with her Pistol Annies bandmates Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley) told ESPN of her career. "There's not even another option — music is my soul."
As the sole female member and lead singer of The Band Perry — they released their third album, "Coordinates," in 2018 — Kimberly Perry says she's often at odds with her bandmate brothers when it comes to fighting for what she believes in. "There are few things in life really worth arguing over," the Mississippi native — who divorced former MLB star J.P. Arencibia in 2018 — told A Taste of Country. "However, creativity is one of those."
After riding a roller coaster of emotions after splitting from her allegedly unfaithful husband, music producer Mutt Lange, in 2008, Shania Twain found happiness again when she wed Frederic Thiebaud — the husband of the woman who allegedly had an affair with Mutt — in 2011. She released her first album in 15 years in 2017, "Now," and embarked on the "Shania Now" tour in 2018. "I think I'm enjoying the performance part of it more than I ever have," Shania told the Las Vegas Sun, "and I can see myself carrying on doing that in some capacity for longer than maybe I expected — considering the fact that I thought I would never get back up onstage again."
After winning the mirror ball trophy on Season 16 of "Dancing With the Stars" along with partner Derek Hough, Kellie Pickler was ready to get back to her first love: music. She released her fourth album, "The Woman I Am," in 2013 and released a promotional single "Feeling Tonight" in 2015. More recently, Kellie starred in her own reality TV show, "I Love Kellie Pickler," and in 2017 started hosting the Daytime Emmy-nominated syndicated talk show "Pickler & Ben" with comedian Ben Aaron.
Sara Evans was the very first country artist to compete on "Dancing With the Stars," but these days, she's back to making music. "I know the fans are getting a little antsy for new songs, because so am I. [But] it takes me a long time to finish a record," she told Country Weekly. That, explains the brunette, is because it's harder to get to the studio in Nashville now that she lives in Alabama with her husband, radio host Jay Barker, and their combined seven kids. Nevertheless, Sara has still released a few albums in recent years: 2014's "Slow Me Down" and 2017's "Words," plus a joint album recorded with her children Avery and Olivia in April 2019.
Shawna Thompson is one half of husband-wife duo Thompson Square, who released their third album, "Masterpiece," in 2018. Shawna and hubby Keifer Thompson tied the knot back in 1999, but even after all these years, they still love working together. "I think our relationship is a lot healthier now, just because we're doing what we absolutely love to do," the Alabama native told Rolling Stone. Added her husband: "She's my favorite female singer."
Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton might not technically be country music stars, but they sure did know how to act like 'em on their hit ABC/CMT show "Nashville," which wrapped in 2018. While filming in Tennessee, Hayden, who played ambitious pop-country star Juliette Barnes, slept on a friend's futon after briefly living in Taylor Swift's condo building. (For the record, she's insisted her character wasn't based on Taylor. Um, if you say so, Hayden!) Connie, who played Faith Hill-esque country star Rayna James, admitted that she was terrified of the singing she'd have to do for the role. "When I recorded the songs for the pilot, I didn't let anyone listen to me, except for my voice teacher," she told Redbook. But she overcame her fear in the end. "I guess," said Connie, "I was lured by the sequins!"

In bitcoin's earliest days, you could count the number of cryptocurrency exchanges on two hands: Mt Gox, Bitstamp, Btc-e, Vircurex and a handful of others, as well as P2P exchange Localbitcoins. Today, the landscape has changed dramatically. There are now over 500 exchanges to choose from – and that number is growing with every passing week.
Calculating the number of crypto exchanges in the world is a lot harder than it sounds. Coinmarketcap lists 208, and there are dozens more listed on other cryptocurrency tracking sites. In addition, there are hundreds of regional exchanges that are only accessible within certain countries and continents. Canada has Einstein Exchange. Africa has Golix. Australia has ACX and will soon have Nauticus, a multi-asset exchange that is launching this year. Blockbid has also just gained its Australian license.
None of these platforms features on exchange listing sites such as Coinmarketcap. Neither do major sites such as Coinbase, because it is technically a broker (although its volume is listed on sites like Bitcoinity.org), or P2P sites like Localbitcoins and Localethereum. And what about other forms of P2P exchange such as Radar Relay, Kyber Network, and platforms that operate on the deep web? It is extremely difficult to classify and quantify the number of global crypto exchanges. All that can be said for certain is it's north of 500 and rising.
Back when the bitcoin ecosystem was beholden to just one exchange – Mt Gox – there was a single point of failure that duly crashed the markets when Gox eventually broke. With hundreds of exchanges to choose from today, that shouldn't be an issue, and yet a glance at where the bulk of the trading volume lies tells a different story. In the last 24 hours, more than half of all cryptocurrency trading volume came from just three exchanges, with Binance accounting for 18% alone. If the exchange were to be hacked or go offline, it wouldn't cause a Mt Gox-level crash, but it would still inflict a sizeable dent.
It is the meteoric rise of Binance, which has gone from nothing to billion-dollar platform in the space of 12 months, that has inspired many of the next generation of token-backed exchanges like Coinlion and Legolas. Each of these new entrants has a slightly different slant, whether it's knowledge-based trading, ICO launching or, in the case of Ezexchange, a focus on customer service that includes 24/7 support. It even offers the prospect of video tutorials and phone support for crypto investors who are still learning the ropes.
For so long as money keeps pouring into the crypto economy and the ICO sector remains vibrant, new exchanges will continue to proliferate. Should things go south, however, and a severe crypto winter set in, many exchanges could wind up as little more than ghost towns, with only the dominant players capable of maintaining liquidity and weathering the storm.
Do you welcome new exchanges or do you think there's now enough to choose from? Let us know in the comments section below.

Miami (FL) ACC Ohio State Big Ten
NCAA decides to grant Miami QB Tate Martell eligibility
By TIM REYNOLDS - Mar. 19, 2019 08:05 PM EDT
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Tate Martell practiced with the Miami Hurricanes for the first time on Tuesday.
Hours later, he got his first win.
Martell is eligible to play for the Hurricanes this season and will not have to sit out the customary transfer year, after the NCAA approved a waiver for the former Ohio State quarterback. Miami announced the verdict about three hours after the Hurricanes' first spring practice and first under new head coach Manny Diaz.
"We are pleased with this ruling and appreciate the NCAA recognizing that this waiver met the criteria under the membership established guidelines," Miami athletic director Blake James said. "We would like to thank the NCAA, as well as Ohio State University, for their assistance and support throughout the waiver process. We look forward to seeing Tate compete for the Hurricanes this season."
Martell posted his reaction on Twitter, saying "we aren't ready yet.. but we will be!"
Miami had lobbied for weeks to get Martell eligible, and Ohio State also voiced its support to the NCAA to approve Martell's waiver seeking the right to play this season.
Martell announced his plans to transfer to Miami in January. He redshirted as a true freshman at Ohio State in 2017, and completed 23 of 28 passes in six appearances as Dwayne Haskins' backup for the Buckeyes in 2018.
"He's elite. He's elite. Elite," said Miami tight end Brevin Jordan, a high school teammate of Martell's in Las Vegas. "Just simple as that. Elite."
Martell is the presumptive front-runner for the Miami starting job that now-graduated Malik Rosier and sophomore N'Kosi Perry shared last season when the Hurricanes passed for only 2,175 yards in 13 games. Perry and highly regarded Jarren Williams are the other scholarship quarterbacks in spring camp with Miami.

Mexican food is a staple part of any good diet and OKC's newest farm-to-fire Mexican kitchen, Cultivar, does not disappoint! Mexican food is a staple part of any good diet and OKC's newest farm-to-fire Mexican kitchen, Cultivar, does not disappoint! From their fresh tortillas and delicious queso to a walk-up bar and outdoor patio, the atmosphere is a great place to hang out in Automobile Alley.
Cultivar can be referred to as a fast-casual authentic Mexican restaurant - you order first, then find a seat. Pro-tip: there are two lines to order. One line for salads, burritos and bowls and the other for just "off the menu" items such as street tacos or quesadillas.
For those choosing a salad, burrito or bowl it is a similar concept to Chipotle or Freebirds, except here you get to start by picking out your lettuce! Picture a wall full of all your favorite leaves, for a lettuce snob, this is an exciting feature. Then you continue down the line adding all the ingredients including rice, beans, meats and any toppings you want.
If you decide to go with a quesadilla and a side, simply head up to the register and order. But don't forget the queso and guacamole! Their chips are cut into strips, making them perfect for dipping and you could easily lick the bowl clean of their queso. After you order, you are given a number with a location tracker so they bring the food right to your table which is awesome. From here, just sit back and enjoy your meal!
The rotisserie chicken is delicious and flavorful. The quesadilla has the perfect amount of cheese to meat ratio and the salsa to dip it in is divine. And for the love of all things tasty, if you like Mexican street corn, we high recommend trying theirs! It is already off the cobs and packed with tons of flavor.
We will see you at a table snacking on some queso very soon!


a heart surrendered: We are blessed because of their obedience.
Dennis and I are filled to the brim with gratefulness to the Lord for providing two godly, mature, wise men to speak into the lives of our oldest sons.
As parents, we invest years of training, teaching, and discipleship into our children.
And then a time comes when they need to hear other voices.
Voices that speak the same truth we speak, but with a different perspective, tone, conviction, and passion.
Voices that sound familiar because the words are the same, but the delivery is changed.
Voices that repeat the words of God and make them sound fresh and exciting.
Simply stated: Our sons need to be discipled!
Micah and Luke love us. They respect us. They listen to us.
But we are only two people out of thousands who love the Lord and desire to be like Him.
Our perspective and life experience is limited to our personalities and our pasts.
We do not share all of the same interests or passions of our children, nor do we possess the same character strengths and weaknesses.
We are limited, Dennis and I. We have much to offer, we love our sons more than anyone else, and we know them better than anyone else. And yet, they need MORE than us.
Micah and Luke need to be sharpened by many strong, focused, godly men who love the Lord, love their families, and seek the Savior more than self. Men who are willing to speak truth - identify sin - correct and admonish - encourage - pray for - and love their brothers in Christ ... even when those brothers are teenagers.
I always wondered how I would feel about discipleship when Micah and Luke were still young. Would I be able to trust someone else to guide my sons in the paths of righteousness? Would I want them confessing sin to a 'stranger?' Share our personal family issues? Ask for advice and counsel?
I am finally able to answer that question now that I am sitting in the spectator seat of the discipleship relationship. And the answer is, "YES! Yes, Yes, YES!"
The impact these men have in the lives of our sons is eternal.
Each one is welcome and appreciated!
Asking a man to sacrifice time for someone else's child is no small thing. He has a wife, children, a career, ministry, friendships, extended family, hobbies and interests, and needs to sleep on occasion. His time is valuable. It must not be taken for granted.
This is precisely why we are grateful for the men who willingly agreed to invest in the lives of our sons when asked. They did so with conviction and joy, and their impact is evident.
They are living out the "one another's of Scripture" and our family is being blessed because of their obedience.
How good it is to be part of the body of Christ!
