This maternal vaccination policy is a violation of the precautionary principle to "first, do no harm," 16 and it is of grave concern to women having babies in America, especially pregnant health care workers. When federal vaccine use recommendations are being turned into laws that punish Americans refusing to obey them with denial of a school education, medical care and employment, 17 18 maintaining high FDA vaccine licensing standards is absolutely essential.
There have been no well designed prospective, long term case controlled studies enrolling large groups of American women who get influenza and Tdap vaccines during pregnancy and comparing their health and the viability of their fetuses and newborns to women who do not get vaccinated. There are no published studies to identify unresolved vaccine-induced inflammation in the brains and bodies of the fetus, mother and newborn; or to measure atypical changes in brain and immune function and chromosomal integrity, including evaluating the numbers of de novo mutations present before and occurring after vaccination.
Maternal vaccination policy has preceded vaccine safety science. Now, there are proposals on the table here in this Committee and in the 21st Century Cures Act backed by FDA and industry to lower FDA licensing standards to ensure that vaccine policy can continue to precede vaccine safety science in the future. 19 Considerable discussion today about making a priori assumptions that complications and fetal death following maternal vaccination are only coincidentally and not causally related to vaccination 20 is a big red flag for vaccine consumers in the absence of credible pathological evidence to conclusively determine what is and is not vaccine induced.
The National Vaccine Information Center is opposed to FDA retroactively licensing influenza and Tdap vaccines for use in pregnant women and fast tracking RSV 21 and group strep B 22 vaccines to licensure by using small clinical trials; adaptive trial designs; Baysian methods of data analysis; biomarkers and surrogate endpoint measures rather than actual clinical endpoints; or using clinical experience instead of good bench science and randomized controlled clinical trials with long term follow-up to prove effectiveness and safety.
The fact that vaccine manufacturers, regulators, policymakers and providers are completely shielded from civil liability for vaccine injuries and deaths 23 makes it even more important for FDA standards for proof of vaccine safety and effectiveness to be very high, especially when licensing vaccines targeting pregnant women and their unborn babies.

That such a well documented and clear argument can be either ignored or argued away points to the moral vacuum that exists in the FDA and their corporate enablers.
The loss of basic morality is evidenced by the necessity to remind regulators of "do no harm", a basic Oath of medicine, long lost to its derivative, "do no harm to the bottom line".
The mix of pharmaceuticals and medicine-for-profit is toxic and its legacy of destruction will someday be viewed as the crime it most certainly is.
The real science is not being done to prove these vaccines are safe and now you want to make it even easier to allow these vaccines to be given to pregnant women. Look at the rise of problems in our children today. Could it be the increased number of vaccines that they are forced to take. Compare the health of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children. Don't allow the vaccine industry to keep increasing the number of vaccines that the government is making mandatory and allowing the vaccine industry to not be liable for any problems these vaccines can cause. What is their incentive other than profit to make sure these vaccines are safe and effective?
DO THE REAL SCIENCE FIRST AND QUIT HELPING THE VACCINE INDUSTRY MAKE MORE PROFITS WITH NO LIABILITY.
There is no "real science" because it has always been corrupted by big money/grants. If the many attempts at killing humans in the womb doesn't work, there exist many other methods to diminish population post-birth. The agenda is nothing if not persistent, dogged, and ruthless.
Our investigational products and drugs and vaccines are considered "innocent until proven guilty" or "safe unless proven otherwise". There are plenty of adverse events in trials and in post marketing experience. But our medical community has be brainwashed into thinking show me the evidence that this xxxxx (side effect or adverse effect) is related.
The time when doing less and allowing the body's natural resources to fight this out is gone.
But we ARE at the brink of a paradigm shift. Even as all this is happening, there is clear and undeniable evidence on the gut microbiome and how our therapies, lifestyle, industrialized food and pollution have altered that microbiome. It becomes clearer to even conventional medicine that we can only reverse disease and restore health as we re-balance our bodies and our planet. Regardles off the corporate-political-power hold on our current medical paradigm, these truths are bubbling to the surface and soon will explode.
I see this insanity as the storm before that shift. Those in power are desparately clinging to their paradigm.
I hope we don't take down the entire planet before this is realized (perhaps we already have).
"Fast track" means "We're shoving it down your throats, whether it's legal or not, whether it's harmful or not, or whether you want it or not - we just don't give a damn!"
I always think of Janine Roberts in regard to the VRBPAC, particularly, "THE HEALTH AUTHORITIES IGNORE THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THEIR TOP VACCINE SAFETY EXPERTS THAT NO VACCINES SHOULD BE MADE USING FERTILIZED EGGS FOR RISK OF AVIAN VIRUSES" (from The Vaccine Papers). What is going on today is nothing new, and is nothing short of a crime against humanity, perpetrated by our government against its own people purely in the name of profit. A special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate DHHS.
What needs to be addressed is the root cause of infant mortalities which are found in less than nutritious foods laced with many trace toxins combined with poor life style choices. Measuring each pregnant mother's nutrient levels and supplementing accordingly would do wonders. When the IOM denies the need for pregnant mothers need for extra Vitamin D during gestation speaks volumes about the lack of understanding in our medical community of what needs to be addressed to reduce our shameful 6.6 rate of infant mortalities plus the number of infants that acquire autism and other diseases after birth.
More Vaccines are not the answer, but contribute to the medical problems of those that receive them.
Hitting the baby with IDTP while their blood brain barrier is immature or "leaky" is at best very irresponsible and at worst down right evil.
Big Pharma, and, well, every giant source of political influence pays heavily to keep the truth from Americans. Right down to hoping we will forget the Hippocratic oath and any other positive influence on our health systems. Their own 'Paper Persons' instruction sheet tells them "Profit is All" and they must follow their hard programming to the last dot.
This is all about Eugenics and the reduction of planetary population. H. Kissinger suggested a 70% reduction. some more, some slightly less.
And our government is owned, since before Citizens United, by these Paper Persons and those who run them.
Jeffrey Smith - Institute of Responsible Technology is going to be putting out another documentary. ... - Genetic Roulette is the first movie the Institute of Responsible Technology has put forth. This movie is titled Secret Ingredients and highlights real people who have regained their health by goning off GMO's (and probably vaccines too because I am reading that some ingredients of vaccines are now genetically engineered) I would encourage people to take a look at that. Also Steven Drucker wrote a book on GMOs entitled Altered Genes, Twisted Truth. GMO's were never proven to be GRAS - It is just that an Indiana politician, Vice President Dan Quayle said that GMO's were GRAS. He probably got a big financial donation from Monsanto for that.
I am grateful our daughter has seen to NOT be vaccinated in her third trimester and will not vaccinate her daughter - For now The state we live in still has informed consent laws - but . . . even with that - esp. companies who insist their employees get injected with toxins - some people have no rights unless they want to lose their jobs. What insanity.
Our family has experienced several very serious adverse systemic and almost lethal side effects from vaccines. We had to find out the hard way and at our children's health and our financial expense on top of it, to recover from the vaccine damages done and to pay for alternative healing approaches and detoxification protocols to regain some health back again. It was and still is a nightmare to deal with the aftermath on what our sons had to go through and I have serious concerns that now pregnant women are being targeted for vaccination and the toxic ingredients in those shots.
I hope NOBODY will have to go through what we and others went through.
If vaccines are so safe then why aren't the ingredients listed - actually ingredients are secret, aren't they?
What about all the kids born to addict mothers and the severe impact on these babes seen at birth. How can anyone not correlate how dangerous it is to have toxins intentionally absorbed into the bloodstream one way or another via vaccination route. I agree with the commenter Lisa, as we are at a paradigm shift of consciousness in these next ten years, but it is so scary and feels so helpless. We have to share our views with others and open the eyes to the insanity, one small piece at a time.
I agree with everything that Barbara Loe Fisher said. Transparency should be required of the CDC and FDA: all ingredients, all testing done,, all results (especially negative outcomes). This should be made readily available to the public.
All I've been hearing lately is how the FDA is fast tracking every proposed vaccine coming down the pike. This reeks of greed and corruption. We know the pharmaceutical companies can get away with murder, because they aren't accountable to the American people for their actions.The cost for vaccine injury compensation is paid for by us. Where are the safety trials and how about an independent research team running them for once? We know all about their rigged studies and any evidence that doesn't support their cause is destroyed. Where is the outrage? How many more politicians will they buy before we stand up for truth and demand transparency? Where is the outrage for Big Pharma's reckless actions that have ruined people's lives? Medical tyranny is right!
If there are no incentives to develop a safe vaccine (if such a thing can exist) because of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, then fast tracking them makes sense. You can use humans as your test subjects since they have no recourse upon injury. You do your testing while making a profit. The best of all worlds to the manufacturers.
The Government will continue to poison us, and our children as long as consumers continue to allow it, and doctors will continue to be part of the problem because they either receive funds from big pharma to do so, or they never do the independent research to learn the truth. Mothers that want to avoid the dangers medicine will impose on them should get back to using traditional home birth midwives. They will not impose vaccines, unnecessary testing, scheduled induction (which almost always leads to c-section), and they don't have the maternal/fetal mortality/morbidity rates that we see increasing every year in this country. It is up to us to control the health care we receive, nobody else is looking out for us. Just say no. It may be inconvenient to home school if you live in a state that requires full vaccination for your child to attend school, your insurance may not pay for alternative health care to see a midwife, homeopath, ect., but if enough people get on that band wagon, change will come eventually. When we continue to treat doctors as gods, and rely on our government agencies to keep us safe we are going to follow the heard over the cliff.
In a sick way I am cheering on the FDA with this plan as a wonderful idea. The more crap Pharma and the FDA cram down people's throats (or into their arms), the more people will have adverse reactions. And then the truth gets out more and more and maybe that will fast track the people revolting against this medical tyranny.
It's already happening where I live with the flu shot this year. WAY fewer people are getting it this year and it is advertised everywhere on every type of media.
Well,it continues to be the Primary Driver of the FDA and CDC is running interference for Big Pharma. The Bobbsey Twins(FDA/CDC) will throw the Truly Informed a bone from time to time but are asleep at the switch & refuse to execute Their Original PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY of protecting us from Big Pharma's quest for bigger market shares. The revolving door of these two agencies where high-level employees leave the service of "protecting the public" only to go to work for the enemy at MUCH HIGHER SALARIES IS SICK.
I cannot conceive of vaccinating newborns and causing their deaths is anything but murder.
Just say NO to this nonsense and insanity!


You may remember some of our earlier coverage of legal movie download service Movielink, and in particular how insignificant it is in the larger scheme of things. A small movie library, infighting between the Hollywood studios that own Movielink, and inflexible viewing options all contribute to its near-uselessness. Well, today Movielink announced the availability of a burn-to-DVD option, drastically improving the practicality of the service.
Through a partnership with Sonic Solutions (makers of the Roxio suite of burning software, among others), Movielink could offer the option to burn downloaded movies to standard DVDs, playable in any regular DVD player, and yet copy-protected. The burning would be handled by a new module for Sonic Solutions' AuthorScript media burning software.
AuthorScript DVD on Demand includes DRM support and an extensible API for supporting any copy-protection scheme the studios would like to use. The final product should be a fully-featured DVD with the usual menu system and possibly even special features of the sort you get on store-bought DVDs today.
It's still not quite the same as streaming movies directly to your TV like digital cable and satellite subscribers have been able to do for some time. Joe Consumer still needs to sit down at his computer, download the movie, and then burn it onto a blank disc that he needs to keep handy. It's a heck of a lot more involved than just hitting a few extra buttons on his remote, although current video-on-demand is generally limited to just a handful or movies. There are no great downloading or on-demand options available today. But burning to DVDs is a step in the right direction, and a welcome one at that.
However, all the techological improvements in the world won't help unless the studios start to license their precious content for this kind of use. Movielink is jointly owned by four of the largest studios, and that direct ownership should give them some incentive to really push this delivery option and start the flow of licensing goodness. But sources familiar with the situation say that Movielink is hampered by internal politics, as each studio continually jockeys for an advantage over the others in the downloading market.
Also, the focus on DRM is starting to look downright silly. The Wall Street Journal reports (subscription required) that "many studios worry consumers will find new ways to pirate their products with downloadable DVDs, even though Sonic says the discs will be secure." But it's not as if normal DVDs are unrippable, and there's no shortage of other illegal ways to gain access to the latest and greatest from Hollywood, if your dedication to Jolly Roger is strong enough. Plugging one leak after another by means of intrusive DRM, broadcast flags, filesharing lawsuits, or what have you, only slows piracy down rather than eradicating it.
You'd think that the movie industry would take a cue from its musical cousin, where anybody can rip MP3s from most any CD in her collection, and people still buy songs through iTMS and its brethren. Not to mention the relatively easy access to illegal downloads. WSJ says that "getting the movies onto DVDs would help boost the online movie-sales business, which, despite years of effort, hasn't taken off." Make that "despite years of half-hearted and self-defeating effort," and we're good on that.
So all in all, Movielink just got stronger, but today's announcement really doesn't matter until there is a reasonable number of movies actually available with the burning option enabled. Then Netflix and Blockbuster would have something to worry about.

Ludhiana – The Choice for Smart Investment
HomepageBlogUncategorizedLudhiana – The Choice for Smart Investment
Once known as a small village Meer Hota to Lodiana and now the Industrial Hub of Punjab – Ludhiana has come a long way. The city is taking giant strides in the Industrial development and growth of the area, and is also paving the way for significant upsurge in the Real Estate sector.
The rise in the residential and commercial real estate in Ludhiana has resulted in infrastructural development taking place in the city, making it truly urbanised. With time, more and more people are realising the locational advantages of the city due to its connectivity with other parts of Punjab like Pakhowal Road, Ferozepur Road, GT Road, Canal Road, and Chandigarh Road, among others. Ludhiana is gaining an equal desirability status with the famous cities such as Chandigarh and Mohali, which have always been the go-to investment destination for the longest time in Punjab. But with rapid urbanisation taking place in Ludhiana, more investors are gravitating towards this city for a safe and secure yet profitable investment decision.
Not only Ludhiana is home to some of the finest malls and modern shopping destinations but it's close proximity to other important cities of Punjab like – Jalandhar, Patiala, Moga, Chandigarh, Bhatinda make it a very trendy and popular destination for shopping, leisure, and entertainment for people of all age especially youth, resulting in maximum brand visibility and catchment.
Many positive changes are on the cards for Ludhiana and its real estate market. With growing industrial activity, the city is bound to grow as an investment destination and this is perhaps the right time to make an investment into the future. With the advent of the city's fast-growing nuclear families, senior citizens and NRI populace, the city is witnessing a great shift in job opportunities and demand for higher standards of living.

Tapping Squidward: Broadway's Gavin Lee Gets To The Heart Of 'SpongeBob SquarePants' – Tony Awards Watch

That old Broadway dictum – Never share a stage with fuchsia sea anemones – is blown to smithereens when Gavin Lee taps his way through "I'm Not A Loser," the gleeful 11 o'clock number of Broadway's SpongeBob SquarePants musical that all but guaranteed Lee his Tony Award nomination this year for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. An homage to Broadway panache, cartoon anarchy and good old four-legged tap dancing, "I'm Not A Loser" is, night after night, capped by the kind of sustained applause that combines Bravo! with What Was That?
And that's right, four-legged. Lee, in top hat and tails cleverly outfitted by designer David Zinn with an extra pair of legs and in a just-right shade of (perfectly described) celadon, plays Squidward Q. Tentacles, the grouchy but starry-eyed cephalopod forever carping at the underwater denizens of Bikini Bottom.
Lee, a British actor whose Broadway performance as Bert in Mary Poppins was Tony-nominated in 2007, is probably best known to American TV audiences for his recurring role as the deadly Alan Woodford on USA Network's White Collar.
Here, Lee tells Deadline how an actor goes about playing a squid, tap dances in quadruped fashion and gets a cartoon voice just right by being just a little off.
This interview has been edited and condensed for length and clarity.
Deadline: So how did Squidward Q. Tentacles come into your life? And I'm giggling just saying that.
Gavin Lee: Well, he wasn't in my life before I got the audition. I didn't really watch SpongeBob. But about three years ago they were doing a six-week workshop, one of many readings and workshops that were done over the previous, say, seven years. BMI was trying to see whether it could make SpongeBob into a musical, and the wonderful director Tina Landau had this vision and had been granted by Nickelodeon to do these workshops and develop it. I binge-watched about eight episodes of SpongeBob, and recorded Rodger Bumpass, who does the Squidward voice on the cartoon, onto my phone, and listened to him a lot and tried to adapt his voice into the scripts I was being sent.
What was great was, as soon as I walked in the room, Tina said, "First of all, I'm not expecting you do a carbon copy of the cartoon, and I don't want you to be the cartoon. I want these characters to be fully-fleshed human versions of the cartoon." She said that we'd take the DNA of these cartoon characters and try to flesh them out into our own human versions. As an actor who's not an impressionist, that made me very relieved. That, and the fact that we weren't going to be zipped up in big Squidward and SpongeBob costumes.
Deadline: Your number "I'm Not A Loser" [written by indie rockers They Might Be Giants] is one of the high points of the show – the audience just goes nuts.
Lee: The arc of my story that Kyle Jarrow wrote is, you're just waiting for Squidward, poor old downtrodden Squidward, to get a chance to show off. And three times, in act one and then in act two, he gets shut down. As soon as he sings one note of a song someone comes in and shuts him down. So by the time he finally gets to sing in act two you can tell the audience is just gagging for Squidward to finally express himself. And then of course Chris Gattelli has choreographed such a brilliant number that just couldn't be more Broadway if you dumped 1,000 sequins on my head. We have a chorus line of bright pink sea anemones. What else could you look for in a Broadway cabaret scene?
I love it when we start the kick line and they bring down my name in lights, Squidward! With an exclamation point. I mean, it's genius that it drops in as we do a kick line. It's just so well-choreographed and staged that the audience just goes wild. And I'm the lucky guy who gets to put on those tap shoes. And those extra legs.
Deadline: Was the tap dancing always meant to be part of the show, or was it something tailored around you?
Lee: Squidward was always going to go into a big old Broadway tap routine. But when we got into rehearsals, obviously Chris Gattelli had no experience of tapping with four tap shoes, as I didn't. He was very gracious and generous in saying, "Gavin, go off into a rehearsal room with those legs on and work out what the heck you can do with an two extra tap shoes stuck onto the back of your own tap shoes." I'd tapped for years, and most of the shows I've been in I've done tapping, but obviously I never had the challenge of trying to make four noises instead of two. So I worked things out in front of the mirror, and then I came back to Chris, and we'd tweak it, look at it, change it. And together we developed the tap solo break in the middle of the number, and it went from there. So it was a collaborative-type thing. Obviously it's Chris's genius, the whole number is his genius. He's been very generous to me, working out what worked best on my legs.
[See a bit of Lee's four-legged tap dance at about the 0:47 mark here]:
Deadline: And so are we actually hearing four distinct taps?
Lee: Yeah, I'm trying my best to make four noises. And it's hard, but I learned that to make those back legs work, you just have to be more sloppy with your dance style. Having loose ankles, but also having the tension there to make the noises with the extra [taps]. You want them to kind of bounce onto the floor after you've made the [initial] noise, like immediately afterwards. I found that being kind of sloppy with your taps makes all that extra noise.
Deadline: Who'd have thought?
Lee: It's something completely new to me, and quite fun. I've been able to really work it and master making those extra sounds.
Deadline: Let's talk about the voice. You said you don't imitate [cartoon voice actor] Rodger Bumpass, but you certainly capture him.
Lee: If you watch the cartoons, SpongeBob, Squidward, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, the voices are all so extreme. It's a kids' TV cartoon. And Tina very rightly and quickly said, "An audience will not want to hear that SpongeBob voice or that Squidward voice for two-and-a-half hours." It would have been grating, and anyway she was trying to make us human.
At points [in the musical] we get quite emotional or serious, and you don't want to hear that in the nasal Squidward voice. So Tina would say in rehearsals, "Okay, for this line kind of drop out of the Squidward voice. I want to hear you, I want to hear your emotions coming through." It sounds a bit deep – bottom line, I'm a squid and he's a sponge, and so you can't get that deep. But Tina would say, "We do want to go there and find the heart. There needs to be a human element so that the audience can connect to your story line."
Deadline: I hear bits of Paul Lynde in the voice, I hear bits of Charles Nelson Reilly. There's a whole sort of history behind that voice.
Lee: That's exactly right. Rodger, the cartoon voice, has an ability to place the voice somewhere so high up in his nasal passage that it's almost coming out of his eyes. I was like, Well, I can't keep that up, and so I kind of brought it down. And you don't want it to get too camp. Squidward's not gay, necessarily. I mean, maybe Squidward living in his little house, not having any friends, maybe that is his whole complex. A sexual thing. But again, he's a squid, and SpongeBob is a sponge. We're not going there.
But I love that you said Paul Lynde. It's so easy with that sort of voice and these lines to go into a Paul Lynde-from-Bewitched type thing, just do a dastardly kind of voice, which I love, but then again, I don't want to just sound like that all the time. I don't want people to say, "Oh, he's doing Paul Lynde," even though Paul Lynde's voice was just one of the best voices to listen to, just so funny…You can pick out a lot of characters from various TV shows or musicals and say, Yeah, that's that character, the grumpy neighbor, the sarcastic friend. [Squidward] is definitely that role, which is so much fun to play in such a happy, upbeat, bright, colorful musical. It's nice to be the one character who comes on and puts a big thumbs-down on everything.

Deadline: Which makes it all the more satisfying when he finally gets his big number.
Lee: Exactly. When you finally see me smile. I'm pulling the sides of my mouth down for the whole show, and then when I think my dreams are coming true, and I'm in the spotlight, and I've got a chorus line of sea anemones behind me, it's so nice, tap dancing and smiling with a spotlight on you.
And then of course it's genius that instantly, when that number ends and the chorus disappears, I'm left back on my own. He's back to being grumpy old Squidward. After getting, hopefully, fantastic applause at the end of the number, they see that I'm left alone, and if I can hear a sympathetic "ah," or sympathetic applause, then I know I've managed to switch the audience from absolute joy to absolute pity. It was all a dream, and Squidward's back to square one.
Deadline: Often when a movie or a play works for both children and adults, it's because there are double meanings, naughty references or political references that kids don't get but the parents do. That's not really the case with this production. So why does SpongeBob work?
Lee: On a Wednesday matinee we usually have school kids, but then in the front row I'll see two 80-year-old women, with their little handbags on their laps, and their Playbills. And you're like, What made you come to this? And they're having the time of their lives. We are connecting with 80-year-olds, how fantastic!
And as you say, it's not that we're sneakily doing adult humor, like a Simpsons or a Family Guy. It's just intelligent family humor. From day one Nickelodeon said to Tina and Kyle, "The only thing we don't want is toilet humor." In the TV show there's often like, farting and things like that. But Nickelodeon said "For this we don't want to go down that road."
And they said that by the end of the two-hour show they don't want anything to have changed [within the SpongeBob universe]. So by the end of our show, the community couldn't have been devastated by Mount Humongous, and SpongeBob couldn't have been promoted to Manager [of the Krusty Krab], and Squidward couldn't have actually become a Broadway star. Whatever happened, by the end of the show it has to be back to normal.
Deadline: So, why does it work?
Lee: I think it's the cleverness of the script, and the visual cleverness, of having imagination with the props and the sets. To represent boulders tumbling down from the mountain we have these Rube Goldberg machines on the side of the auditorium that basically spit out these, like, soccer balls. At one point Larry the Lobster, he's supposed to be in the Army or the police, so he's got a weapon, but the weapon is blatantly a stick with a tiny pink jellyfish on the end of it. And SpongeBob goes, "Is that a jellyfish on a stick?" And Larry says, "Don't make me zap you, bro." We don't need a gun in a SpongeBob musical.

Multiparty Computation: Absolute Crypto Security or a Loophole for Regulators
The latest security term or protocol to take the crypto world by storm is multiparty computation. It has already been crowned the king for secured and safe transactions by the crypto community. The latest development owes to the fact that 2020 has seen adoption by both custodial as well as non-custodial players, gaining significant traction in the digital assets domain. But is it as bullet-proof as being claimed or can a silver bullet shatter through the barrier? Experts are divided, with some claiming that the enhanced security may come at a price of censorship by the regulators, compromising the foundational principle of decentralization, on which cryptocurrency was built.
Define Multiparty Computation
Multiparty computation (MPC) or secure multiparty computation (SMPC) is a cryptographic protocol, which dispenses a computation across several participants in a network, where no individual participant can see the data of the other participants. Multiparty computation protocol can allow analysts and data scientists to compute on shared data privately, compliantly, and securely, without exposing or moving it ever.
The technology of MPC deals with splitting the private keys into parts or segments. Those are then distributed among various parties involved in the transactions. One key segment is held by the client and the other is held by the MPC provider. The intention is to enhance the security by making sure that none of the parties have complete control over the transaction that can be executed only under circumstances of both the parties having and being provided their key segments.
The Alleged Issues with Multiparty Computation
The MPC providers peg their technology as one that just aids to make the transaction secure. But the reality is not quite that simple. Multiparty computation providers act as an intermediary whose approval is a must for the execution of a transaction.
That way the role played by MPC providers is equivalent to banks with blockchain being the SWIFT system equivalent. The sender's bank can be replaced with a third-party MPC provider and the SWIFT system with blockchain technology. The only differentiating point here is the way in which the payment is sent. In the case of a bank, it is the sender that instructs the release of the funds to the bank. With an MPC provider, the sender and the provider sign the execution of a transaction together. Both the parties involved, submit a partial key which the MPC provider transmits to the blockchain.
An argument can be made, about the noticeable difference between MPC providers and the banks. While the traditional banks have the authority to freeze and even confiscate the funds, MPC does not enable that. The question of private key security has forever been the most essential sticking point for crypto firms and institutions. Hence, the capability to recover funds when the key is lost is very critical for any firm, which is claiming to provide safe and secure cryptocurrency storage.
The Censorship Risk by Regulators
Since MPC providers have responsibility for holding the customers' funds as an intermediary, it is quite evident that there is a high chance that a backdoor might be offered for the regulatory intervention. It means that the MPC service providers will be taking up the same role as the traditional banks. On an occasion that a regulatory body requires an MPC company to halt the processing of a transaction, then the company has to comply by that. Moreover, if the MPC provider allows the users to recover the lost private keys, it will allow the regulator as well to issue an order to freeze or confiscate funds. To keep assuming that it is a request that is bound legally, the service provider will be forced to be compliant, as non-compliance may lead to the cancellation of the service license. Interference from the regulators is already a persistent problem in the crypto community.
If we recall, it was June of 2019 that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) gave the approval to regulate the virtual assets, including the service managers. While it is true that the overall compliance is quite low, FATF is continuing to spread the net and will continue to do so until all of the Virtual Asset Service Providers are within their grip. The concern here is the fact that the MPC service providers match the Virtual Asset Service Providers' profile totally. These entities manage and transfer clients' funds in the same way as banks for the wire transfer. The same regulatory compliances are applied to the companies that hold, control, and manage virtual assets either directly or indirectly.
The regulations create exact same expectations from the MPC providers as the ones, which are applied to the banks at present. Ultimately, this would mean that the large transactions could be reported to the regulatory bodies and clients will have to go through the same KYC and AML checkpoints as required in the banking system. On the off chance that more proof was required, we just need to take a gander at the enormous banks that have just perceived that MPC innovation offers benefits that fit with their current consistency structures. The way that MPC specialist organizations limit the versatility of their clients by making reliance on their wallets could likewise end up being appealing to banks, making a sort of constrained unwavering to be far eliminated from the vision of open money that is held dear by numerous individuals in the crypto space.
Ending Thoughts
From the technical perspective, multiparty computation seems to be impressive and might as well fit perfectly for the ones who have zero concerns about the involvement of regulators in cryptocurrency transactions. But, for the ones who hold concern over the involvement, there needs to be aware that the use of MPC holds the backdoor ajar for interference in the centralized and regulated crypto domain similar to that being experienced by exchanges that are regulated and centralized. This reason is strong enough to think twice before using it or advocating its utilization. Since the technology is still in its nascent stages, there is a thought and idea of developing decentralized MPC. Although a far-reaching thought, that might be a step towards the right path for the advocates of decentralized and open networks.

The Deaf Intsitute music hall is the best and hippest music venue in Manchester. But Manchester has lots of great places to catch live music. From the sweaty basement of The Roadhouse, to the boho Night & Day or the cool The Castle, for new and upcoming bands. There are great club nights at Warehouse Project and Band on the Wall. The Apollo and Academies host more established acts.


When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a gold piece? O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty."
Do not talk what thou wouldst do if thou wast an angel, but consider what thou canst do as thou art a man.
What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action, how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!
Angels affect us oft, and worshipped be.
I seemed to have been involved in a road accident, and I clambered out of a rather shadowy car The road ahead was poorly made up, and I had to crawl my way forward - in the process, escaping from some people who were impeding my departure. At last I reached the end of the road and found myself in a vast expanse of clear space. There were no markings, but the space was occupied by diaphanous beings who had a mere outline of shape. This shape superficially resembled the human form, but there were no recognizable features. They seemed to cluster together in joyous groups, animated by a spirit of love that poured out into the atmosphere. They received me as one of their own, and I seemed to play along with them in their harmonious movement.
Then I began to wonder where I actually was. One of the company seemed to sense my question and asked me, "Don't you know that you are dead?" I then seemed to be ushered towards a great shadowy building where someone awaited me, apparently for appraisal and instruction. By this point, though, I was so excited that I seemed to awaken myself consciously: I had had direct proof of the survival of my personality after bodily death, and I wanted to make this knowledge available to others as soon as possible. Seldom have I woken up with such excitement and joy. Shortly afterwards, I even considered writing a book on what I had experienced, but a later, more sober, consideration showed that there was barely enough material for even a single page of foolscap.
Nevertheless, this dream has played its part in writing this book, for the diaphanous ones whom I saw were certainly angels. Who it was that I was to visit I can only conjecture. I had absolute trust and confidence that all was well, and so it may have been a representative of God the Holy Trinity. Had I been rather less impetuous, I might conceivably have attained this knowledge, but I suspect I did what was expected of me. In my earthly state of spiritual understanding, I am surely not eligible for a heavenly meeting. It may be that when I make the great transition that we call death I shall be better prepared for what is to come.
The object of this book is to establish the angels in their place as ministers of God's grace to his manifold creatures. I have concentrated only peripherally on actual apparitions, because these are well recorded in the considerable contemporary literature on angels; instead, my interest has centred more on their nature and function in the divine economy. However one views the origin of angels, it seems quite certain that they are an essential link between a human being and God - and, more universally, between the whole created world and its creator It will be an important day when theologians decide to give the matter more attention, for then they will come closer to the divine source.
My thanks are due to my several friends who have been so kind as to allow me to publish accounts of their angelic visitations.

Survivorman Les Stroud returning to televison
by Kraig Becker on Nov 24, 2011
One of the Discovery Channel's most popular programs, Survivorman, is returning to television after being on hiatus for more than three years. The show, which features host Les Stroud demonstrating survival techniques in extreme settings, such as the Kalahari Desert or Alaskan wilderness, will relaunch with a series of special episodes sometime in 2012.
While Stroud's list of destinations is not yet known, we do know that the format for the show will remain mostly the same. The episodes are filmed by Les himself, who goes out into the wild alone, carrying all of his camera and survival gear. In the past, he would usually spend seven days living in the wilderness, but according to the announcement on his website, he'll actually be staying out for ten days on these new episodes. Apparently he'll also begin filming the first new show in just three weeks time.
Fans of Stroud will be happy to hear of his return, as he had garnered quite a loyal following when the first three seasons of Survivorman were being aired. At the time, there were numerous comparisons to Man vs. Wild, the show hosted by Bear Grylls, which often sparked debates as to which of the men best knew his stuff. While Bear is a bit more theatrical and over the top, Les tends to remain more grounded and practical in his approach. Both shows are fun to watch however and I always enjoy seeing the destinations as much as what kind of trouble the two men can get into there.
The new Survivorman specials are set to air on OLN in Canada, Discovery Science in the U.S., and Discovery Channel International elsewhere. No word yet on when we can expect the shows to hit the airwaves however.

Congressman Jeff Flake plays "Survivorman" in the Pacific's Marshall Islands
by Aaron Hotfelder on Oct 12, 2009
Several weeks ago, hunky Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake fulfilled a childhood dream by spending a week doing his best Les Stroud impression in the Pacific's Marshall Islands. Bringing with him only the "bare minimum," Rep. Flake survived on the abundant coconuts, crabs, and fish that he discovered around the island.
Chronicling his trip in a travelogue and a slideshow for the Washington Post, Rep. Flake explains his motivation for undertaking the survivalist trip:
This long bout of Crusoe-envy seemed to be more physical than spiritual, an appreciation for what Teddy Roosevelt called the "doctrine of the strenuous life." Roosevelt bemoaned the "timid man," the man living "a life of slothful and ignoble ease." The man I fear I've become. As a kid, I used to snicker when I shook an uncallused hand. Now I've got two of my own. I used to bathe in the evening after a hard day's work. Now I shower in the morning.
But if I was really looking for physical exertion, I could have just trained for a marathon. Perhaps the greatest appeal was not knowing what was behind the next wave. Maybe I would learn something about myself.

Survivorman Calls it Quits
by Josh Lew on Nov 8, 2008
Filmmaker and Discovery and Science Channel star Les Stroud, known for his show, Survivorman, is calling it quits after three seasons. The 47 year-old Canadian earned street cred amongst survivalists by filming himself completing various week-long survival challenges. Unlike Man Versus Wild's Bear Grylls, Stroud traveled without a camera crew and survival experts. I, for one, found his solo approach to film-making and survival refreshing compared to Grylls' preening in front of the camera.
Stroud explained his decision to call it quits to Reuters: "You can only do seven days surviving without food a certain number of times a year. I'm pleased with what I have done, I've been copied around the world, but 25 times I've not eaten anything for a week while sleeping on rocks. I need to move on."
Filming for the third, and now final, season is wrapping up in Papua this month. Though the tag Survivorman will probably always remain with him, Stroud plans to move on to other projects. He is writing a book about wilderness survival and is planning a new show where he will follow in the footsteps of famous explorers.

An EDSL for shading languages

Shades, a shader EDSL in Rust
This crate provides an EDSL to build shaders, leveraging the Rust compiler (rustc) and its type system to ensure soundness and typing. Because shaders are written in Rust, this crate is completely language agnostic: it can in theory target any shading language – the current tier-1 language being GLSL. The EDSL allows to statically type shaders while still generating the actual shading code at runtime.
Why you would love this
Why you wouldn't love this
In typical graphics libraries and engines, shaders are opaque strings – either hard-coded in the program, read from a file at runtime, constructed via fragments of strings concatenated with each others, etc. The strings are passed to the graphics drivers, which will compile and link the code at runtime. It is the responsibility of the runtime (i.e. the graphics library, engine or the application) to check for errors and react correctly. Shading languages can also be compiled off-line, and their bytecode is then used at runtime (c.f. SPIR-V).
For a lot of people, this has proven okay for decades and even allowed live coding: because the shading code is loaded at runtime, it is possible to re-load, re-compile and re-link it every time a change happens. However, this comes with a non-negligible drawbacks:
The shading code is often checked either at runtime. In this case, ill-written shaders won't be visible by programmers until the runtime is executed and the GPU driver refuses the shading code.
When compiled off-line are transpiled to bytecode, extra specialized tooling is required (such as an external program, a language extension, etc.).
Writing shaders imply learning a new language. The most widespread shading language is GLSL but others exist, meaning that people will have to learn specialized languages and, most of the time, weaker compilation systems. For instance, GLSL doesn't have anything natively to include other GLSL files and it's an old C-like language.
Even though the appeal of using a language in a dynamic way can seem appealing, going from a dynamic language and using it in a statically manner is not an easy task. However, going the other way around (from a static to dynamic) is much much simpler. In other terms: it is possible to live-reload a compiled language with the help of low-level system primitives, such as dlopen, dlsym, etc. It's more work but it's possible. And Rust can do it too.
The author (@phaazon) of this crate thinks that shading code is still code, and that it should be treated as such. It's easy to see the power of live-coding / reloading, but it's more important to provide a shading code that is statically proven sound and with less bugs that without the static check. Also, as stated above, using a compiled approach doesn't prevent from writing a relocatable object, compiled isolated and reload this object, providing roughly the same functionality as live-coding.
Important note: this crate does its best to catch semantic bugs at compile-time via rustc. However, it might still lack opportunities to catch all semantic bugs. If you find such a case, please feel free to open an issue to as that is considered a bug / regression.
Another important point is the choice of using an EDSL. Some people would argue that Rust has other interesting and powerful ways to achieve the same goal. It is important to notice that this crate doesn't provide a compiler to compile Rust code to a shading language. Instead, it provides a Rust crate that will still generate the shading code at runtime. Other alternatives would be using a proc-macro. Several crates who do this:
You can use the glsl and [glsl-quasiquote] crates. The first one is a parser for GLSL and the second one allows you to write GLSL in a quasi-quoter (glsl! { /* here */ }) and get it compiled and check at runtime. It's still GLSL, though, and the possibilities of runtime combinations are much less than an EDSL.
You can use the rust-gpu project. It's a similar project but they use a proc-macro, compiling Rust code representing GPU code. It requires a specific toolchain and doesn't operate at the same level of this crate — it can even compile a large part of the core library.
blaze-html, a Haskell EDSL to build HTML in Haskell.
selda, a Haskell EDSL to build SQL queries and execute them without writing SQL strings. This current crate is very similar in the approach.
If you like type systems, languages and basically hacking compilers (writing code for your compiler to generate the runtime code!), then it's likely you'll like this crate. Among all the features you will find:
Use vanilla Rust. Because this crate is language-agnostic, the whole thing you need to know to get started is to write Rust. You don't have to learn GLSL to use this crate — even though you still need to understand the concept of shaders, what they are, how they work, etc. But the encoding of those concepts is now encapsulated by a native Rust crate.
Types used to represent shading types are basic and native Rust types, such as bool, f32 or [T; N].
Write a more functional code rather than imperative code. For instance, a vertex shader in this crate is basically a function taking an object of type Vertex and returning another object, that will be passed to the next stage.
Catch semantic bugs within rustc. For instance, assigning a bool to a f32 in your shader code will trigger a rustc error.
Make some code impossible to write. For instance, you will not be able to use in a vertex shader expressions only valid in the context of a fragment shader, as this is not possible by their own definitions.
Extend and add more items to famous shading languages. For instance, GLSL doesn't have a π constant. This situation is fixed so you will never have to write π decimals by yourself anymore.
Because you write Rust, benefit from all the language type candies, composability, extensibility and soundness.
An experimental monadic experience behind a feature-gate. This allows to write shaders by using the do-notation crate and remove a lot of boilerplate for you, making scopes and shader scopes hidden for you, making it feel like writing magic shading code.
The crate is, as of nowadays, still very experimental. Here's a list of things you might dislike about the crate:
The current verbosity is non-acceptable. Most lambdas you'll have to use require you to annotate their arguments, even though those are clearly guessable. This situation should be addressed as soon as possible, but people has to know that the current situation implies lots of type ascriptions.
Some people would argue that writing GLSL is much faster and simpler, and they would be right. However, you would need to learn GLSL in the first place; you wouldn't be able to target SPIR-V; you wouldn't have a solution to the static typing problem; etc.
In the case of a runtime compilation / linking failure of your shading code, debugging it might be challenging, as all the identifiers (with a few exceptions) are generated for you. It'll make it harder to understand the generated code.
Some concepts, especially control-flow statements, look a bit weird. For instance, a for loop in GLSL is written with a much more convoluted way with this crate. The generated code is the same, but it is correctly more verbose via this crate.

Gunnar Villehard Calenius, född 14 november 1896 i Helsingfors död 18 juni 1964, var en finländsk operasångare (baryton), kompositör och skådespelare.

Som ung var Calenius violinist och spelade i finska Frälsningsarmén. Efter inbördeskriget uppträdde han i kabaréprogram tillsammans med bland andra Väinö Lehmus, och sjöng på kaféet Kulma på 1920-talet med Matti Jurva och Iivari Kainulainen. Calonius debuterade på Finlands nationalopera 1921 och var där aktiv mellan 1926 och 1957. Han medverkade i sex filmer mellan 1930 och 1946.

Åren 1929–1930 gjorde Calenius nio grammofoninspelningar för bolaget Homocord. Repertoaren bestod bland annat av R.R. Ryynänens finska översättningar av sånger ur den tyska filmen Två hjärtan i valstakt, inklusive filmens ledmotiv Zwei Herzen im 3/4-Takt (på finska "Kaksi syöntä valssin tahdissa").

Han är gravsatt på Finska gardets begravningsplats i Helsingfors.

17000 women and 9000 men get cancer linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) every year. For women the most common is cervical cancer and for men the most common are cancers of the back of the throat, tongue and tonsils.
A recent study shows that since it was introduced in the US in late 2006 , the HPV vaccination has reduced HPV infection rates in teen girls by half. More than 57 million doses have been distributed in the US in the last seven years and all studies show that the HPV vaccine is safe.

A: You can't call setVisible() on myschedule because that class inherits directly from Object, which doesn't have a setVisible() method. Change the class to extend JFrame like your other class and you can call setVisible(). You're going to have to change some things, however, like instantiating the JFrame, etc.
Also, capitalize class names. Save the lower case/camel case for instance variable names.

I'm not expecting my son to become a concert pianist. He's one of the most okay-ist 11-year old piano players around. And that's just fine with me. So why do I keep paying for lessons and nagging him to practice every day? I think his music lessons do far more for him than I can measure and research backs me up. A comprehensive longitudinal study, (German Socio-Economic Panel, 2013) found, "Music improves cognitive and non-cognitive skills more than twice as much as sports, theater or dance." The study described kids who take music lessons as having "better cognitive skills and school grades and are more conscientious, open and ambitious." Personally, I've seen great things from my son as he has studied piano and now violin. When asked, he said that the greatest thing about studying music was that he was proud to be developing a talent. That alone gives me incentive to encourage him to continue and to give my other kids the same opportunity. Want to know what other benefits learning music can give your children?
Probably the most noticeable improvement you'll see in your child's academics is the increase in your child's reading and verbal skills. Your child will also see improved mathematical and spatial-temporal reasoning and raised IQ. Learning to read music is akin to learning a new language and your child will see benefit when learning other languages. Plus, kids that study music are better listeners. Anything to get your kid to listen to you, right?
With the benefits of improved working memory and long-term memory for visual stimuli. Some studies suggest that music engagement may delay cognitive decline. You'll be setting your kids up for a life-long skill which will benefit them for the long-term. It may not seem like something to worry about right now but slowing the effects of aging is an immeasurable benefit.
The social-behavioral benefits can't be ignored. My son was a very anxious child. Around the time he began studying piano, I saw that his anxiety began decreasing significantly. I was working hard in other realms to decrease his anxiety but I feel like it certainly contributed to an improvement in my son's ability to manage his anxiety. A study by researchers at the University of Vermont College of Medicine found that a child's musical background appeared to contribute to enhanced self-confidence and self-esteem and those children were better at managing anxiety.
There is a whole lot of research supporting the claim that music benefits your child's brain. It's almost difficult to point out all the benefits. Hopefully, your child's school has a music program and you'll be able to look on the bright side of your kid playing the recorder non-stop. But even in early-childhood, unstructured play with musical instruments is great exposure. And if you've been on the fence about music lessons, consider the many benefits it can provide your child. If you don't have the resources to provide music lessons, don't write it off completely. Consider getting a Ukulele and learning alongside your kids - YouTube has a plethora of instructional videos. Consider it time well-spent and reap some of the awesome benefits learning music can have on your child's brain.

*Disclaimer - I received the product in this post from the Etsy shop Baby Diaper Cakes by T in order to facilitate this review for my readers.
Are you having a boy or know someone who is and want to get them the perfect diaper cake? Look no further.
I came across the cutest little diaper cake for a boy and thought it'd be ideal to get for reviewing, and it even comes with an adorable small pillow that sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. This Etsy shop's name is known as Baby Diaper Cakes by T and has several diaper cakes you can choose from on her shop! This diaper cake can be found and bought HERE!
This is a 1 tier diaper cake that comes with 21 - 25 diapers and a very cute yellow pillow for baby that sings a tune. This diaper cake is very easy to take apart once you're ready to disable it as a diaper cake, to store the diapers. I love how small the pillow is and how soft it is as well, for little heads as the child gets older of course. The tune it plays is a nice but soft one that may even help to calm a crying baby down while you sing to him or her. The price of this cute 1-tier diaper cake is $45, and has the choice of colors being either blue, pink, or yellow.
The squishable star in the middle just puts it over the top. It's super, super cute!
So sweet! Diaper cake's make such great gifts!
What a cute cake and Idea! The star just adds so much to it!
