Because the cause of inflammatory bowel disease is unknown, there are currently no guidelines for reducing your risk of inflammatory bowel disease.
But, some evidence does suggest that eating a diet high in fiber and fruits may lower your risk of Crohn's disease. And a diet high in vegetables may lower your risk of ulcerative colitis.
As our understanding of the disease grows, your doctor may have more information regarding steps for reducing your risk of inflammatory bowel disease.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2011)
**½/****
starring Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce, Bailee Madison, Jack Thompson
screenplay by Guillermo Del Toro & Matthew Robbins, based on the teleplay by Nigel McKeand
directed by Troy Nixey
by Walter Chaw There are so many opportunities squandered, so many set-ups dishonoured, so many promising moments clearly assembled into incoherence in the editing bay, that it's kind of amazing how Troy Nixey's Don't Be Afraid of the Dark still manages to coast along on its monsters and its lovely, gothic atmosphere. It's not a good movie, but it's a good time, for the most part--the part where you're not thinking about how irritating it is that in movies like this parents are constantly leaving their children in peril. Produced by Guillermo Del Toro, the picture feels an awful lot like another Del Toro production, 2008's The Orphanage, which also provides solid atmosphere, a couple of gross-outs, and an overall feeling of pleasant well-being. The major difference is that Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is so disjointed and spotty that the predominant aftertaste is frustration. What a shame.
It's a shame particularly because it starts out well, what with a bloodied Eldritch painter named after Algernon Blackwood lurking in his basement, where, it will later be revealed, he's been doing paintings based at least in part on the writings of Arthur Machen. It's all so delightfully Lovecraft-y, isn't it? Things turn Raymond Feist-y once it becomes clear that Machen's evil elder-fairies are actual living creatures that hunger for children's teeth and are thisclose to talking like Gollum in the saga for which Del Toro is no longer directing the prequel. Jump to the modern day as architect/house-flipper Alex (Guy Pearce) and his girlfriend/interior designer Kim (Katie Holmes) are saddled with Alex's daughter Sally (Bailee Madison) for a metaphor about how children of broken homes need to feel wanted. Alex is the prototypical workaholic daddy and Kim is the prototypical younger mom-replacement the kids resent until they don't, and it takes most of the film until creepy Sally's creepy drawings surface and Kim visits a grizzled old caretaker and then the local library.
Until such time, a group of little grey gremlins promises Sally they'll be her friend if she releases them from a boarded-up fireplace in a boarded-up basement to run amuck in all that beautiful production design. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark has a lot of nice suspense moments with bare feet walking next to things under the bed and sharp objects getting poked at eyeballs. There's even a fun centrepiece in a bathtub that doesn't make a lot of sense but does escalate the innate terror of being menaced when you're most vulnerable by making the victim a child. I did wonder about a working Polaroid camera that takes real, no-kidding pictures of the beasties Nixey subsequently decides he doesn't want to show, while a scene in a library that ends with the amputation of a gremlin arm doesn't lead to any revelations or fun character reversals. Worst is the Kim character (and maybe we hold Holmes's performance somewhat accountable), who vacillates arbitrarily from believing Sally completely to not believing her and back. When the audience is making a better film in its head at the same pace you're screwing yourself into a little ball, you've got problems.
None of it would be as painful, though, if the pieces weren't so intoxicating. Some of the images--bright eyes tracking a child from floor-grate to ceiling duct, for instance--are delightfully perverse and sticky, and the picture's climax, featuring a surprising moment of uncomfortable gore, is pretty awesome, even though the conclusion complicates it all with a ridiculous bit of lore. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, a remake of a fondly-remembered TV movie, is immanently stylish but saddled with a ten-cent head. As a Del Toro fan, I wish he'd just make another movie himself. (I really wish that his long-gestating adaptation of Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness would finally get the go-ahead.) Projects like Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and The Orphanage and Splice speak to me of sparks of ideas that Del Toro maybe understands aren't going to develop past novel diversions. Yet he's so much the genre enthusiast and benefactor of the kinds of movies he likes that he wastes his time fostering stuff like this instead of working on his own genuinely transcendent material. It's not awful, this Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, but the world is already full-to-bursting with not-awful. Originally published: August 26, 2011.

Ptolemy's understanding of the planet's whereabouts
Asked 7 days ago
I imagine that Ptolemy's epicycles were performed as real circles - around equants - in two dimensions, e.g that he was able not only to give the angles to planets and the Sun as seen from the Earth, but actually able to point out the location in space in a projection in two dimensions or otherwise, of all then known planets in the system. He would then have had the same type of knowledge as Kepler had, at least in principle, albeit with lower accuracy.
Is that actually the case?

$\begingroup$ I think it would be helpful if you could add some links or references where a detailed explanation of the topic could be found $\endgroup$ – lordparthurnaax Jan 13 at 14:55
$\begingroup$ In discussing the orbits Kepler must have known all internal distances between the Sun and the planets, and I wondered whether this also was ancient knowledge. I take Paquette's answer to imply that this was the case. $\endgroup$ – Mikael Jensen Jan 14 at 18:10
I suppose you mean in three dimensions, but anyhow…
Yes, Ptolemy did know that planets move also in latitude, not only in longitude, and thus the Almagest includes sections for how to predict the latitude of a planet for a given moment. In fact, Book XIII of the Almagest is entirely written about this specific subject of the latitude of the planets.

Pierre PaquettePierre Paquette
$\begingroup$ @Paquette I am mainly thinking of the difference between knowing the angles e.g. from city A to city B and C vs. knowing the layout of the whole map as seen from above, although I do realize it is a 3-dimentionel map. I take it Ptolemy might indeed have had the whole picture. $\endgroup$ – Mikael Jensen Jan 14 at 18:06

A descriptive analysis of mathematics curricular materials from a pedagogical perspective: A case study of fractions
Douglas Carnine, Asha K. Jitendra, Jerry Silbert
In this article, we present six pedagogical criteria, five of which were gleaned from research related to effective teaching practices, followed by a narrative description of the extent to which the early 1990s editions of three basal mathematics programs applied these criteria in designing instructional sequences. Specifically, the purpose of the descriptive study was to compare lessons that taught adding and subtracting fractions in the fifth-grade books of each of the three basals. The present analysis of traditional basals revealed areas of serious concern: Big ideas were rarely identified, introduced, or integrated; content was introduced too rapidly; teaching demonstrations were often not explicit or straightforward; manipulative activities were open-ended and ineffective; and review was inadequate. Finally, we propose recommendations for using the six curriculum design criteria to evaluate and modify mathematics curricular materials.

Benedict keeping sex of baby secret
Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter
By Robert Dex
SHERLOCK star Benedict Cumberbatch fended off queries about his unborn baby in a TV interview and admitted his female fans made him "squirm" when they called themselves Cumberbitches.
The actor, tipped for an Oscar nomination for his performance as codebreaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game, told US chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres that he and his partner, Sophie Hunter, did not yet know the sex of their baby.
"We're gonna have some kind of baby," he said.
Cumberbatch was questioned about his female fans and admitted: "It's like squeezing a confession out of me to say that word. I kind of just squirm about it."
He told DeGeneres he had a "problem" with the name initially, saying: "I just went, ladies, this is wonderful, I'm very flattered, but has this not set feminism back a little bit?
"Empower yourselves if you're going to get silly about a guy with maybe a little bit more of a, sort of, a high-regard thing.
"But yeah, they were all very sweet.
They wrote back and were, like, well, we didn't mean any harm, we're just having a bit of fun with your name."
Hunter (36), who has a few acting credits behind her, is best known as a theatre director. The pair met in 2009 and worked on the film Burlesque Fairytales.
Cumberbatch's sister said before that any girlfriend would need to be a "pretty smart cookie to keep up with him".
He previously dated actress Olivia Poulet for 12 years and then dated fashion designer Anna Jones.

Over Christmas, the Badlands Community Facility gave businesses and groups the opportunity to decorate Christmas trees in their annual Trail of Trees.
Businesses and groups decorated the trees in the style that they would like and the trees went up for auction for locals to bid and purchase them. The proceeds from the auction went to the Jumpstart program in Drumheller. The auction netted $1,405 dollars to the program.
According to Chad Murray, Dealer of Canadian Tire Drumheller, "Every dollar that we raise here in Drumheller, stays in Drumheller to support the kids in Drumheller who are in need."
The importance of helping kids in Drumheller is not lost with Terri Murray, Office Manager of Canadian Tire Drumheller. "It's really important to us. We really want to give back to the community and really want to make sure that all kids have a chance to play sports and that everybody benefits from the Jumpstart program."
The Jumpstart program has had success across the country. "As of December 2018, we've helped 1.8 million kids across Canada. Just help get in the game and as we've said before, it's a great way for kids within the community to play still within their community because every dollar that's raised here, stays here," reiterated Jeff Bonnor Regional Manager for Canadian Tire.
The hope is these funds will help kids that want to play but may not have the means to do so, be able to play. If you are looking for assistance contact Canadian Tire Drumheller to be involved with the Jumpstart program.


Rothar Sprints To Take David Manley Emerging Entrepreneur's Yellow Jersey.
We were delighted to celebrate the success of Anne Bedos, Social Entrepreneur and founder of Rother, as she claimed top spot on the podium as winner of the David Manley Emerging Entrepreneur Award for 2011.
A not-for-profit initiative, Rothar recycles abandoned bikes in its shop in Phibsboro using a team of in-house mechanics and volunteers, and manages to tackle the problems of waste and social exclusion along the way (its volunteers are drawn from marginalised groups and trained in the basics of bicycle mechanics).
Anne received her Award (including a Cash Prize of €10,000, plus over €100,000 worth of expert services) at a ceremony at Mason Hayes & Curran's headquarters in Dublin on January 20th.
Islandbridge are proud Brand Building Partners to the Awards, and we're looking forward to working with Anne over the coming year to get the wheels spinning even faster in her enterprise so that she can realise her goal of opening more shops across Dublin, and eventually, in cities and towns across Ireland.
At the ceremony it was also announced that our own Gerard Tannam will Chair the Awards Committee for 2011/12.


The Defendants had managed to obtain a US court order requiring the Claimant's director to disclose documents and provide deposition evidence, which (as a matter of US law) could then be deployed by the Defendants in support of English arbitral proceedings. The High Court declined to grant a final injunction restraining the Defendants from enforcing that order. This case provides an illustration of the use of international legal mechanisms to obtain information from companies and former employees in support of proceedings in this jurisdiction; and a reminder of the principles to be applied by the English court in deciding whether to permit the use of such mechanisms.
The Claimant (Dreymoor) was an international trading company incorporated in Singapore. The Defendants (ECTG and EuroChem) were sister companies under common ownership, incorporated in Switzerland and Russia, who sold fertiliser products worldwide. Between 2008 and 2013 ECTG and Dreymoor entered into several hundred contracts for the sale of fertiliser products, all containing UK arbitration clauses. ECTG had brought proceedings in the BVI and in two London arbitrations (each jurisdiction relating to different collections of contracts), alleging that the contracts were vitiated by very substantial bribes paid by Dreymoor to two former senior employees of ECTG.
The Defendants had also filed an application before the US District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee under section 1782 of the United States Code. Section 1782 authorises the District Court of the district in which a person resides to order that person to provide testimony and/or documents "for use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal." The application was made against a Mr Chauhan, who was formerly a director and chief trader of Dreymoor. The application was granted, which (despite the US Court declining to find whether a London arbitration was a "foreign or international tribunal" under the meaning of the section) meant that as a matter of US law the information obtained could then be used for any purpose, including the London arbitrations.
Dreymoor then brought proceedings in the English High Court, seeking an injunction to restrain enforcement of the order made by the United States Court until (effectively) after the conclusion of the arbitral proceedings. The application was put on two bases: first, that it was implied into the agreement to arbitrate that disputes should be dealt with by the agreed arbitral process and in no other way; second, that it would be unconscionable to permit reliance on section 1782. After a temporary injunction was granted, the full hearing took place before Mr Justice Males.
Section 1782 of the United States code has been considered by the English court before, on at least three previous occasions (including in the House of Lords in South Carolina Insurance Co v Assurantie Maatschappij "De Zeven Provincien" NV  1 AC 24). It was apparent from the authorities that the use of the procedure under section 1782 is (as a matter of English law) capable of constituting unconscionable conduct interfering with the fair disposal of English court or arbitration proceedings, which the English court will restrain by injunction. Whether it will do so in any given case will depend on all the circumstances, but a driving factor (as set out by Lord Brandon in the South Carolina case) will be that "the English court would not in general seek to control the manner in which a party obtained evidence, provided that the means by which it did so were lawful in the country where they were used" (§60). Further, it followed that "the fact that a party to English litigation is able to obtain evidence by means of a right available in a foreign country significantly different from that available in the English system does not, by itself, constitute unconscionable conduct" (§61(3)). Examples of potential unconscionable conduct include the risk that witnesses are exposed to unwarranted double cross-examination, or that witnesses will be discouraged from appearing in the English proceedings.
However, in this case the Court found that there would be no unconscionable conduct in refusing the injunction, for ten separate reasons (§§71-82), including that granting the injunction would be a serious breach of comity; the delay in making the application; and that Mr Chauhan would face double cross-examination in any event, the only question being whether the deposition would occur before or after the arbitration.
It is easy to see the interest this case holds for employment lawyers. Claimant companies may well find themselves in disputes with former employees and their new employers who are now located outside the jurisdiction (including the US). The case provides a salutary reminder to consider making applications outside the jurisdiction to gather information for use here.
It is apparent from the judgment that, on the facts, judicial sympathy lay entirely with the Defendant. It was evident that Males J was surprised by the obviously strenuous and expensive efforts expended by Dreymoor across several jurisdictions to prevent reliance on its former director's information. As Counsel for the Defendant submitted (§15), it might be expected that if Dreymoor had innocently become the means by which a fraud had been perpetrated on its contractual counterparty then it would cooperate in bringing the fraudsters to justice, including by providing such information as necessary. Males J expressly declined to decide on the force of that submission, but it was clearly a driving factor in the decision; indeed, as Males J said, "it does not require much imagination to predict some of the questions which ECTG's lawyers would wish to ask those who were responsible for Dreymoor's trading with ECTG" (§15). Those opposing the use of information can take comfort that the decision may well go the other way on more balanced facts.

Idaho may return to Big Sky football
(STATS) - The University of Idaho appears ready to rejoin the Big Sky Conference for football, becoming the first program to drop from the FBS level to the FCS.
Idaho has scheduled a news conference with president Chuck Staben, athletic director Rob Spear and football coach Paul Petrino for Thursday. Footballscoop and the Idaho Statesman reported the Vandals will return to the Big Sky, where they played from 1963-95.
The conference already is home to Idaho's other athletic teams.
The Sun Belt Conference announced March 1 that it would drop Idaho and New Mexico State, who are both midway through four-year associate memberships, after the 2017 season. At the time, Staben said its offer from the Big Sky would have to be accepted by May 4.
Idaho has struggled as an FBS program, averaging 3.7 wins during its 20-year run, but only 2.9 per season since 2000. It would face an uncertain future and the prospect of being an independent for the second time if it remains in the FBS.
To return to the FCS, Idaho would have to decrease its football scholarships from 85 to 63, but it's a level in which it thrived previously, winning eight Big Sky titles.
The Big Sky has 13 football-playing members: Cal Poly, Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, North Dakota, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Portland State, Sacramento State, Southern Utah, UC Davis and Weber State.
If it increases to 14, the Big Sky could split into two seven-team divisions.


4) Food, food, food, I mean have you seen the size of their mango?!
11) Bangkok's real name is: Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit - now, try to say that!
13) In the past, all Thai young men including the kings became Buddhist monks for at least a short period of time before their 20th birthday (I think someone told me it's a minimum of a fortnight). I don't think this is compulsory anymore however all the men I have met decided to do it anyway.

"While it's still fairly new and unstable relative to the gold standard, cryptocurrency is definitely gaining traction and will most certainly have more normalized uses in the next few years. Right now, in particular, it's increasing in popularity with the post-election market uncertainty. The key will be in making it easy for large-scale adoption (as with anything involving crypto) including developing safeguards and protections for buyers/investors. I expect that within two years, we'll be in a place where people can shove their money under the virtual mattress through cryptocurrency, and they'll know that wherever they go, that money will be there." – Sarah Granger, Author, and Speaker.
The bitcoin blockchain is a public ledger that records bitcoin transactions.[75] It is implemented as a chain of blocks, each block containing a hash of the previous block up to the genesis block[c] of the chain. A network of communicating nodes running bitcoin software maintains the blockchain.[32]:215–219 Transactions of the form payer X sends Y bitcoins to payee Z are broadcast to this network using readily available software applications.
Like Bitcoin, Ethereum is a distributed public blockchain network. Although there are some significant technical differences between the two, the most important distinction to note is that Bitcoin and Ethereum differ substantially in purpose and capability. Bitcoin offers one particular application of blockchain technology, a peer to peer electronic cash system that enables online Bitcoin payments. While the Bitcoin blockchain is used to track ownership of digital currency (bitcoins), the Ethereum blockchain focuses on running the programming code of any decentralized application.
Ethereum was announced at the North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami, in January, 2014.[9] During the same time as the conference, a group of people rented a house in Miami Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, and Anthony Di Iorio, a Torontonian who financed the project.[9] Di Iorio invited friend Joseph Lubin, who invited reporter Morgen Peck, to bear witness.[9] Six months later the founders met again in a house in Zug Switzerland, where Buterin told the founders that the project would proceed as a non-profit. Hoskinson left the project at that time.[9]
^ Chan, Edwin. "China Plans to Ban Cryptocurrency Mining in Renewed Clampdown". www.bloomberg.com. Retrieved 10 April 2019. While China was once home to about 70 percent of Bitcoin mining and 90 percent of trades, authorities have waged a nearly two-year campaign to shrink the crypto industry amid concerns over speculative bubbles, fraud and wasteful energy consumption.
EthereumPrice.org was developed by Ether0x in March 2016 to allow users to easily track the price of Ethereum both historically and in real-time. The platform has since evolved to include several fiat currencies (EUR, GBP, JPY and others) as well as price data for a number of Ethereum ERC20 tokens and other blockchain currencies. More recently, prediction data from Augur was also added to provide insight into the future price expectations of the Ether market. Price data is currently sourced from multiple exchanges with the weighted average price of these assets being calculated by CryptoCompare.com. For more details on the weighted average calculation, see our FAQ.
In 2014, researchers at the University of Kentucky found "robust evidence that computer programming enthusiasts and illegal activity drive interest in bitcoin, and find limited or no support for political and investment motives".[134] Australian researchers have estimated that 25% of all bitcoin users and 44% of all bitcoin transactions are associated with illegal activity as of April 2017. There were an estimated 24 million bitcoin users primarily using bitcoin for illegal activity. They held $8 billion worth of bitcoin, and made 36 million transactions valued at $72 billion.[225][226]
As the industry continues to investigate blockchain platforms, it's apparent that Ethereum is becoming a de facto leader. For example, a few days ago JPMorgan publicly open-sourced its Quorum platform, architected and developed around the Go Ethereum client by Jeff Wilcke and his team. Several other major banks are using Ethereum, and Microsoft is anchoring its Bletchley platform on it as the foundational blockchain element. Industry, both publicly and confidentially, continues to contribute to Ethereum and work with us and others to help our promising, toddler-age codebase reach maturity. Stay tuned for news on this front.
The overwhelming majority of bitcoin transactions take place on a cryptocurrency exchange, rather than being used in transactions with merchants.[138] Delays processing payments through the blockchain of about ten minutes make bitcoin use very difficult in a retail setting. Prices are not usually quoted in units of bitcoin and many trades involve one, or sometimes two, conversions into conventional currencies.[32] Merchants that do accept bitcoin payments may use payment service providers to perform the conversions.[139]
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the founders of the Gemini Trust Co. exchange, reported that they had cut their paper wallets into pieces and stored them in envelopes distributed to safe deposit boxes across the United States.[101] Through this system, the theft of one envelope would neither allow the thief to steal any bitcoins nor deprive the rightful owners of their access to them.[100]
As of February 2018, the Chinese Government halted trading of virtual currency, banned initial coin offerings and shut down mining. Some Chinese miners have since relocated to Canada.[32] One company is operating data centers for mining operations at Canadian oil and gas field sites, due to low gas prices.[33] In June 2018, Hydro Quebec proposed to the provincial government to allocate 500 MW to crypto companies for mining.[34] According to a February 2018 report from Fortune,[35] Iceland has become a haven for cryptocurrency miners in part because of its cheap electricity. Prices are contained because nearly all of the country's energy comes from renewable sources, prompting more mining companies to consider opening operations in Iceland.[citation needed]
Though each bitcoin transaction is recorded in a public log, names of buyers and sellers are never revealed – only their wallet IDs. While that keeps bitcoin users' transactions private, it also lets them buy or sell anything without easily tracing it back to them. That's why it has become the currency of choice for people online buying drugs or other illicit activities.
1) Irreversible: After confirmation, a transaction can't be reversed. By nobody. And nobody means nobody. Not you, not your bank, not the president of the United States, not Satoshi, not your miner. Nobody. If you send money, you send it. Period. No one can help you, if you sent your funds to a scammer or if a hacker stole them from your computer. There is no safety net.
Smart contract is just a phrase used to describe a computer code that can facilitate the exchange of money, content, property, shares, or anything of value. When running on the blockchain a smart contract becomes like a self-operating computer program that automatically executes when specific conditions are met. Because smart contracts run on the blockchain, they run exactly as programmed without any possibility of censorship, downtime, fraud or third-party interference.
The domain name "bitcoin.org" was registered on 18 August 2008.[17] On 31 October 2008, a link to a paper authored by Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System[4] was posted to a cryptography mailing list.[18] Nakamoto implemented the bitcoin software as open-source code and released it in January 2009.[19][20][11] Nakamoto's identity remains unknown.[10]
In February 2014 the world's largest bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, declared bankruptcy. The company stated that it had lost nearly $473 million of their customers' bitcoins likely due to theft. This was equivalent to approximately 750,000 bitcoins, or about 7% of all the bitcoins in existence. The price of a bitcoin fell from a high of about $1,160 in December to under $400 in February.[68]
Ethereum can also be used to build Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO). A DAO is fully autonomous, decentralized organization with no single leader. DAO's are run by programming code, on a collection of smart contracts written on the Ethereum blockchain. The code is designed to replace the rules and structure of a traditional organization, eliminating the need for people and centralized control. A DAO is owned by everyone who purchases tokens, but instead of each token equating to equity shares & ownership, tokens act as contributions that give people voting rights.
Cryptocurrencies are a potential tool to evade economic sanctions for example against Russia, Iran, or Venezuela. In April 2018, Russian and Iranian economic representatives met to discuss how to bypass the global SWIFT system through decentralized blockchain technology.[56] Russia also secretly supported Venezuela with the creation of the petro (El Petro), a national cryptocurrency initiated by the Maduro government to obtain valuable oil revenues by circumventing US sanctions.[57]
The proof-of-work system, alongside the chaining of blocks, makes modifications of the blockchain extremely hard, as an attacker must modify all subsequent blocks in order for the modifications of one block to be accepted.[87] As new blocks are mined all the time, the difficulty of modifying a block increases as time passes and the number of subsequent blocks (also called confirmations of the given block) increases.[75]
Ethereum addresses are composed of the prefix "0x", a common identifier for hexadecimal, concatenated with the rightmost 20 bytes of the Keccak-256 hash (big endian) of the ECDSA public key (the curve used is the so called secp256k1, the same as Bitcoin). In hexadecimal, 2 digits represents a byte, meaning addresses contain 40 hexadecimal digits. An example of an Ethereum address is 0xb794F5eA0ba39494cE839613fffBA74279579268. Contract addresses are in the same format, however they are determined by sender and creation transaction nonce.[34] User accounts are indistinguishable from contract accounts given only an address for each and no blockchain data. Any valid Keccak-256 hash put into the described format is valid, even if it does not correspond to an account with a private key or a contract. This is unlike Bitcoin, which uses base58check to ensure that addresses are properly typed.
Ethereum was officially with an unusually long list of founders. Anthony Di Iorio wrote "Ethereum was founded by Vitalik Buterin, Myself, Charles Hoskinson, Mihai Alisie, & Amir Chetrit (the initial 5) in December 2013. Joseph Lubin, Gavin Wood, & Jeffrey Wilke were added in early 2014 as founders." Formal development of the Ethereum software project began in early 2014 through a Swiss company, Ethereum Switzerland GmbH (EthSuisse).[13][14] The basic idea of putting executable smart contracts in the blockchain needed to be specified before the software could be implemented; this work was done by Gavin Wood, then chief technology officer, in the Ethereum Yellow Paper that specified the Ethereum Virtual Machine.[15] Subsequently, a Swiss non-profit foundation, the Ethereum Foundation (Stiftung Ethereum), was created as well. Development was funded by an online public crowdsale during July–August 2014, with the participants buying the Ethereum value token (ether) with another digital currency, bitcoin.
The first decentralized cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was created in 2009 by pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. It used SHA-256, a cryptographic hash function, as its proof-of-work scheme.[14][15] In April 2011, Namecoin was created as an attempt at forming a decentralized DNS, which would make internet censorship very difficult. Soon after, in October 2011, Litecoin was released. It was the first successful cryptocurrency to use scrypt as its hash function instead of SHA-256. Another notable cryptocurrency, Peercoin was the first to use a proof-of-work/proof-of-stake hybrid.[16]
This dramatic volatility attracted global attention with the mainstream media running near-daily reports on the price of Ether. The publicity generated has been a major boon for the ecosystem, attracting thousands of new developers and business ventures alike. In 2018 the amount raised through Ethereum-enabled ICOs reached almost $8bn, increasing from just $90m in 2016. While the price of Ethereum has faced extreme volatility over the years, it is this volatility which has driven interest. After every boom and bust cycle, Ethereum comes out the other side with a fundamentally stronger platform and a broader developer community backing it. These fundamental improvements would suggest a positive long-term outlook on the price of Ethereum.
Markets are dirty. But this doesn't change the fact that cryptocurrencies are here to stay – and here to change the world. This is already happening. People all over the world buy Bitcoin to protect themselves against the devaluation of their national currency. Mostly in Asia, a vivid market for Bitcoin remittance has emerged, and the Bitcoin using darknets of cybercrime are flourishing. More and more companies discover the power of Smart Contracts or token on Ethereum, the first real-world application of blockchain technologies emerge.
An initial coin offering (ICO) is a controversial means of raising funds for a new cryptocurrency venture. An ICO may be used by startups with the intention of avoiding regulation. However, securities regulators in many jurisdictions, including in the U.S., and Canada have indicated that if a coin or token is an "investment contract" (e.g., under the Howey test, i.e., an investment of money with a reasonable expectation of profit based significantly on the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others), it is a security and is subject to securities regulation. In an ICO campaign, a percentage of the cryptocurrency (usually in the form of "tokens") is sold to early backers of the project in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies, often bitcoin or ether.[47][48][49]
On 1 August 2017, a hard fork of bitcoin was created, known as Bitcoin Cash.[111] Bitcoin Cash has a larger block size limit and had an identical blockchain at the time of fork. On 24 October 2017 another hard fork, Bitcoin Gold, was created. Bitcoin Gold changes the proof-of-work algorithm used in mining, as the developers felt that mining had become too specialized.[112]
In March 2013 the blockchain temporarily split into two independent chains with different rules due to a bug in version 0.8 of the bitcoin software. The two blockchains operated simultaneously for six hours, each with its own version of the transaction history from the moment of the split. Normal operation was restored when the majority of the network downgraded to version 0.7 of the bitcoin software, selecting the backward compatible version of the blockchain. As a result, this blockchain became the longest chain and could be accepted by all participants, regardless of their bitcoin software version.[38] During the split, the Mt. Gox exchange briefly halted bitcoin deposits and the price dropped by 23% to $37[38][39] before recovering to previous level of approximately $48 in the following hours.[40] The US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) established regulatory guidelines for "decentralized virtual currencies" such as bitcoin, classifying American bitcoin miners who sell their generated bitcoins as Money Service Businesses (MSBs), that are subject to registration or other legal obligations.[41][42][43] In April, exchanges BitInstant and Mt. Gox experienced processing delays due to insufficient capacity[44] resulting in the bitcoin price dropping from $266 to $76 before returning to $160 within six hours.[45] The bitcoin price rose to $259 on 10 April, but then crashed by 83% to $45 over the next three days.[36] On 15 May 2013, US authorities seized accounts associated with Mt. Gox after discovering it had not registered as a money transmitter with FinCEN in the US.[46][47] On 23 June 2013, the US Drug Enforcement Administration listed ₿11.02 as a seized asset in a United States Department of Justice seizure notice pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881.[48][better source needed] This marked the first time a government agency had seized bitcoin.[49] The FBI seized about ₿30,000[50] in October 2013 from the dark web website Silk Road during the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht.[51][52][53] These bitcoins were sold at blind auction by the United States Marshals Service to venture capital investor Tim Draper.[50] Bitcoin's price rose to $755 on 19 November and crashed by 50% to $378 the same day. On 30 November 2013 the price reached $1,163 before starting a long-term crash, declining by 87% to $152 in January 2015.[36] On 5 December 2013, the People's Bank of China prohibited Chinese financial institutions from using bitcoins.[54] After the announcement, the value of bitcoins dropped,[55] and Baidu no longer accepted bitcoins for certain services.[56] Buying real-world goods with any virtual currency had been illegal in China since at least 2009.[57]

Have you noticed suspicious dark areas or red spots around the corners of your bed? Do you have mysterious and unexplained bites or red marks on your arms and legs? We may be able to explain that for you; it sounds like you may have a bed bug infestation in your home. Bed bugs are a common nuisance for homeowners in Greenville and eastern North Carolina, and can be hard to detect for the untrained eye. These insects become even more of a problem in winter due to increased traveling over the holidays.

Deck Stains in 2019 – What's new? What really works? What types are there?
Today we will be reporting what's new in the deck staining industry for 2019. Out two years ago is the Restore-A-Deck wood stain. The Restore-A-Deck Wood Stain can be applied to damp wood, allowing for prep and stain to be completed on the same day. Restore-A-Deck Stain uses the latest in water-based wood staining technology to create a formula that allows for better UV protection, excellent penetration into the wood stain for long lasting beautiful results, and the ability to apply to damp wood for single day project completion. The Wood Stain comes in four radiant semi-transparent colors that highlight and enhance the natural wood grain.
Which stains really work? With the help of thousands of people who have completed deck stain projects over the years, we consistently see the same higher quality stains outperforming lower quality stains. Hands-down, semi-transparent wood stains seem to receive raving reviews as far as the quality and durability go. As always, be sure to choose a high-quality semi-transparent wood stain, as low-quality semi-transparent wood stains fail to penetrate the wood grain and make maintenance a pain. Click here to see the top 6 rated deck stains.
Can You Apply a Clear Sealer or Polyurethane over a Deck Stain?
Update 2019 for Clear Sealer or Poly over a Deck Stain?
We here at DeckStainHelp.com thank you for your continued support as we continue to be the internet's number one reference for all things wood deck restoration related. If you have ever considered using a polyurethane coat to give your outdoor wood deck a smooth appearance, read this article and really think about the potential repercussions. As always, we appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below.
Deck stains are meant as a protective finish for exterior wood. They contain special UV shielding pigments and mildewcides to ward off mold and mildew and to keep the wood from fading. Other sealers or clear finishes will not adhere well to a deck stain and may result in the topcoat failing prematurely. Most likely the clear sealer or polyurethane will end up peeling and flaking off the deck stain.
Unlike paint, stains and sealers are not necessarily designed to adhere to each other. Most are designed to penetrate into the wood or at least adhere to bare wood in the case of film forming stains. Applying a clear sealer over a deck stain is never a good idea. It really won't help the deck stain or give any added protection more than the deck stain already is. Clear sealers have no pigment and therefore provide zero UV protection. The same goes for polyurethane.
We here at DeckStainHelp.com are proud to be the internet's number one reference for all things wood deck restoration related. In this article, we talk strategy for picking out the perfect color for your wood stain project in 2019.

Choosing a deck stain color can be a bit confusing with so many different choices on the market today. There is a wide range of colors, tones, and opacity choices to take into consideration. Also taking into account the type of wood you are staining can really leave you more confused than anything. Educating yourself on the different choices of deck stain color ideas will assist you in making the right choice.
A deck stain tone is basically the primary shade of color that the wood will appear. While the term color, in speaking about deck stains, is mostly associated with solid deck stains, the term tone is more associated with semi-transparent or semi-solid stains. These types of stains do not completely hide the wood grain but rather enhance the appearance of it with a tone. The most common deck stain toners are natural, cedar, redwood, and darker browns.

It is a common concern of deck owners whether to use a deck stain, deck sealer, or deck paint. There really is not an exact definition of any deck stain, sealer, or paint and many professionals use the terms loosely when speaking about deck coatings in general. But some clarification can definitely help. We will describe which each one is most commonly described as.
A sealer usually does not alter the appearance of the surface. It is applied to protect the surface from such things like foot traffic, water damage, mold, and mildew. Therefore, deck sealers are most commonly any clear, transparent, or translucent coating that protects the wood without altering the appearance.
Deck sealers are popular for those wanting the most natural wood look you can get while still providing water protection. Most deck sealers have excellent water repellency properties but lack of shielding against harmful UV rays causing the wood to turn gray over time.

Deck stains have come a long way in appearance over the years. There is a wide array of colors, tints, and tones that can be added to deck stain. But what if you like the natural look of wood, do you really need a color or tinted deck stain or can you use a clear sealer? There are several reasons a deck owner may choose a colored deck stain over a clear sealer.
Color enhances beauty. Even if you like the natural look of wood, a slight color or tone can be added to enhance that "natural look." A natural colored stain will also last longer in appearance than a clear stain. A tinted deck stain is great for worn or older wood decks that need the boost in appearance.
The sun's UV rays fade unprotected wood rapidly. While most deck stains repel water not all of them shield against sun fading. The more pigment that is present in a deck stain the more UV protection it provides. On a scale of 1-10, a clear stain would be a 1 in sun protection where a solid colored stain would be a 10. So when choosing a deck stain, sun blocking color stains and tints should certainly be part of the equation.
