Plant Variety Protection Office Now Accepting Applications For Asexually Reproduced Plants
By: Liz Freeman Rosenzweig, Cory Ellison and Michael R. Ward
On January 6, 2020, the Plant Variety Protection Office (PVPO) released the final version of its much-anticipated rule to open Plant Variety Protection (PVP) to asexually reproduced plants. Publication of this rule means that the PVPO is now accepting applications for all species of asexually reproduced plants for the first time.
Extending PVP rights to all asexually reproduced plants means that breeders of plants, such as fruit trees, which are typically propagated asexually rather than by seed, may now obtain PVP certificates for their varieties in the United States. This addition is also notable for breeders of hemp—the regulated production of which was legalized by the 2018 Farm Bill—because hemp can be reproduced both asexually and by seed.
The 2018 Farm Bill Extended PVPA Protection to Asexually Reproduced Plants
The new PVPO rule was prompted by the 2018 Farm Bill (Public Law No: 115-334, Sec. 10108), which dramatically expanded the scope of the U.S. Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) to include protection for asexually reproduced plant varieties. Prior to this amendment, the PVPA had been limited to sexually reproduced plants (i.e., seed-bearing plants) and tuber‑propagated plants. Although the Farm Bill was passed over a year ago, the PVPO needed time to revise the Plant Variety Protection Regulations (7 C.F.R. part 97; "Regulations"), which guide the implementation of the PVPA, prior to accepting applications for asexually reproduced plant varieties. A draft rule proposing such revisions was published for comment in the Federal Register in July 2019 (84 Fed. Reg. 33176, 33178), and comments closed in September 2019. In the intervening period, the PVPO revised the draft into a final rule, which was reviewed and approved by the PVPO Administrator and the Secretary of Agriculture before being released on January 6, 2020.
The 2018 Farm Bill included the following amendments to the PVPA: 1) the sections on rights provided (7 U.S.C. § 2402), infringement (7 U.S.C. § 2541), and false marking and cease and desist orders (7 U.S.C. § 2568) were revised to include language for asexually reproduced plants and 2) the definitions section (7 U.S.C. § 2401(a)) was revised to provide a definition for the term "asexually reproduced." Specifically, the PVPA now defines "asexually reproduced" as "produced by a method of plant propagation using vegetative material (other than seed) from a single parent, including cuttings, grafting, tissue culture, and propagation by root division." (2018 Farm Bill, Public Law No: 115-334, Sec. 10108, 132 Stat. 4906 (Dec. 20, 2018).)
In implementing these changes, the PVPO's new rule demonstrates how the Office will handle PVP applications for asexually reproduced plants. Many of the changes merely broaden the Regulations' existing language to include asexually reproduced plants. For instance, with regard to the publication of pending applications, amended § 97.19(c) states that information relating to pending applications shall show the "name of the crop" rather than the "name of the kind of seed." Notably, however, there are two key areas that Applicants interested in obtaining PVP protection for their asexually reproduced varieties should be sure to understand: 1) the testing requirements and 2) the deposit requirements (discussed in detail below).
Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS) Testing
As is the standard for sexually reproduced and tuber-propagated plants, the PVPO will not conduct its own DUS trials for asexually reproduced plants. Rather, Applicants will perform DUS testing themselves and provide their data to the PVPO using new Exhibit C forms that the Office has developed for asexually reproduced plants. These new Exhibit C forms are based on the Test Guidelines Table of Characteristics from the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). The PVPO's new forms are available on the PVPO website and through the ePVP online application system. Additionally, the PVPO may also accept DUS reports from other countries on a case-by-case basis.
Deposit Requirements
For PVP applications directed to seed-reproduced and tuber-propagated varieties, the PVPO currently requires Applicants to submit a biological deposit of the candidate variety. When the PVPA was extended to asexually reproduced plants, the PVPO had planned to require deposits for asexual reproduced species as well. However, in response to feasibility concerns raised in the public comment period, the final rule provides for a three-year delay in enforcement of the deposit requirement for asexually reproduced plants. Thus, deposits of propagating material for asexually reproduced plants will not be required until January 6, 2023. In the intervening period, the PVPO will examine the technical feasibility of making deposits for asexually reproduced plants.
Therefore, from January 6, 2020, until January 6, 2023, Applicants are not required to make a biological deposit for PVP applications for asexually reproduced plants, though they may do so voluntarily. However, Applicants who choose to not make deposits during this period are required to submit declarations stating that: 1) propagating material will be maintained at a specific physical location that the PVPO can inspect (7 C.F.R. § 97.7(d)(2)(i) 2020) and 2) the propagating material will be provided within three months of a request by the PVPO (7 C.F.R. § 97.7(d)(2)(ii) 2020).
The final rule envisions that, after January 6, 2023, deposits will be required for PVP applications for asexually reproduced plants within three months of notice of certificate issuance. As with sexually reproduced and tuber-propagated plants, Applicants seeking protection for asexually reproduced plants will be required to submit a declaration stating that the deposit will be maintained for the duration of the certificate.
Although deposits are currently envisioned to become required and enforceable after January 6, 2023, Applicants may request waivers that, if granted by the PVPO, will allow for delayed submission of the deposit. Two types of waivers will be available for asexually reproduced plants:
Waiver for "good cause, such as delays in obtaining a phytosanitary certificate" (7 C.F.R. § 97.7(d) 2020); and
Waiver to withhold deposit due to technical infeasibility.
If a technical infeasibility waiver is granted by the PVPO, the Applicant will further be required to:
Make the same two § 97.7(d)(2)(i)-(ii) declarations noted above; and
Submit a deposit within three months of notice that the technical infeasibility has been resolved.
Overall, Applicants should be prepared to submit deposits of propagating material for asexually reproduced plants, although such deposits will not be formally required until January 6, 2023. During the intervening time, as noted above, the PVPO is reviewing the technical feasibility of making deposits for asexually reproduced plants. Following this review period, the PVPO may modify the deposit requirements outlined above.
PVP Certificates vs. Plant Patents
Prior to the PVPA amendment, intellectual property protection on asexually reproduced plants in the United States was already available in the form of plant patents under 35 U.S.C. § 161. Plant patents continue to be available, but PVP certificates offer broader protection in terms of so-called "essentially derived varieties" (EDVs). That is, in addition to covering the variety owned by the titleholder, PVP certificates also require the titleholder's permission before commercialization of any variety that has been "essentially derived" from the titleholder's variety (7 U.S.C. § 2541). In contrast, plant patents cover only the exact plant set forth in the issued patent and clones thereof. Thus, the option to obtain PVP rights expands the scope of protection available for breeders of asexually reproduced plants in the United States. Furthermore, with the addition of asexually reproduced plants, the U.S. PVP system is now more aligned with analogous systems in other UPOV countries, allowing breeders to streamline their international portfolios.
While PVP certificates provide broader protection for breeders than do plant patents, they do present some drawbacks. Specifically, the PVPA contains exemptions to infringement for seed-saving, research, and breeding (7 U.S.C. §§ 2543-44), while plant patents do not. Furthermore, unlike PVP applications, plant patent applications do not formally require a deposit. Finally, plant patents are more economical than PVPs. Indeed, PVP certificates require both a $3,000 deposit fee and a $5,150 application fee, while the official fees for a plant patent are likely to total less than half of that amount.
In addition to incorporating the inclusion of asexually reproduced plants, the PVPO's revised Regulations updated the fee schedule and modernized administrative procedures. The full text of the new rule is available at the PVPO's website. Given the cost and the potential technical complications of the deposit requirement, it remains to be seen how popular PVPs for asexually reproduced plants will be. However, the opportunity to obtain PVPs for asexually reproduced plants—particularly considering the EDV protection provided—is a significant step forward for plant intellectual property in the United States.

I have the exact same problem and have yet to find a solution. I previously had a lenovo laptop and had nothing but good to say about it. Exactly the opposite for this one.
Q: Does ThinkPad yoga 370 still have the jumping cursor issue?
Yet another thing seems to be wrong with my Yoga. Every so often, the cursor will jump to the upper right corner of the screen and minimize my maximized window, or to the lower right corner and open up the action center. It does this several times in a row, almost like someone else is controlling the touchpad/mouse. Then it'll suddenly go away, only to come back minutes or hours later. I also noticed that when watching fullscreen videos, the video controls will come up randomly, as if I moved the mouse or touched the touchpad. I tried to uninstall all input devices, rebooting twice and letting Windows reinstall them. I thought it helped, but it didn't. I just updated the Synaptics driver to the latest May 2018 one, but that didn't fix the problem either. Any idea what's going on? Is it the touchpad? The trackpad? The pen? The touchscreen? I read all kinds of crazy ideas on another thread, from putting tin foil under the keyboard, to disabling the wacom digitizer. I haven't tried those yet. I swear, this is the worst purchase I have made in a long time. Lenovo is about to lose a customer for life.
Hi,I bought ThinkPad x1 carbon 6th 1 week ago,And still have a problem: cursor jumping randobly about 5mm when I click on it.I don't know how to fix itWindows 10 Pro Last drivers. Thank you!
Please try to un-install the Synaptics frivers from Device Manager and have the default HID drivers.
Yeah, I have issues with the cursor jumping around as well, although it is not too often. I thought it was something related to the driver and hopefully will be fixed soon.However, regarding the capacitive windows button on the bezel, what do you mean by that? There is no capacitive button of any kind on mine.
So, I got this computer a few days ago and it works great. Only problem is that every time I switch out of tablet mode or if I open it, my cursor moves up, and I have to tap the trackpoint a lot in order for it to stop. I took it off and I realized that if I hold down the b button hard enough, it actually moves the cursor up. Is there any way to fix this irregular trackpoint behavior? It's probably hardware related, so I might have to send it in for repair (ugh).
Fired up the laptop this morning and I'm seeing my Touchpad & mouse cursor periodically jumping to the top left of my screen. Double checked BIOS and all updates. Clean report on diagnostics.Swapped out HD for a fresh W-10 software load and same behavior is observed. It's gotta be hardware. Which board controls the pointing device cursor location ? BTW, screen was replaced on this unit >2yrs ago. Unit was 100% until this....!
Hi, Everyone- when typing on a new Asus EEE 1015, with Win 7, the cursor will suddenly jump backwards to an earlier spot in the text. This happens a lot, and makes it difficult to type anything.
I googled and saw this problem for many systems and OSs, but it seems like mainly a laptop and netbook problem. some people have erduced sensitivity on touchpads, or have updated touchpad drivers, or have installed a program that disconnects the touchpad when the keys are being used.
We know we are not touching the touchpad accidentally. you can really perch your fingers way above, and the jump still happens. We have decreased the sensitivity on the touchpad, and the jumping still happens.
We also have an Asus EEE 1005 Win XP, for almost a year, with absolutely no cursor jumping.
Any info specific to this set-up? I would love to hear any insights, before I go into a long routine of upgraing BIOS, upgrading touchpad drives, etc.
As the PC is new I would return it under warranty as this is most likely a hardware issue.
The only quick fix that might work is to reinstall the touchpad drivers from the Asus site. You could also check in the touchpad settings to see what is set for making the cursor disappear during typing, change the setting from whatever it is at present and see if that helps.
As we are in the process of migrating to Windows 10, we would also like to upgrade the Firware on the ThinkPad OneLink Pro Dock stations. Is there a way we can query what firmware version does it have so that based on that we can run an update ?
We have 10+ Lenovo Thinkpad E560's in the company that will not boot with dock attached. I have updated the dock software, the bios, all windows updates are installed. I have check the event logs and there is nothing there indicating an error. I have gone through the BIOS settings to change boot order to HDD first instead of PXE. All Laptops are running Windows 10 64bit.
To Whom It May Concern, This has been a nightmare trying to get support for a 3-year Worldwide Warranty product that my company purchased a little over 1 year ago. The dock's DisplayPort seem to not be working properly. The monitor that is connected to it will randomly go blank. I've tried updating to the latest drivers and firmware for the dock. I tried switching monitors and switching cables. I've tried moving around USB devices to make sure it isn't interfering with operation. I've tried connecting the bare minimum to the devices and the problem persisted. I need the DisplayPort as I am running a dual monitor setup. I contacted the Customer Service line to get support. To my dismay, I was told my product was not under warranty and had to send in a copy of the invoice for my product. The support rep gave me an email address to their entitlement department and was told I will receive a response within 24-48 hours. It's been 96 hours now and no response. I try calling again to check on my status, but told the same thing and that they don't have the service case in their system. I hope some Lenovo rep can see this and provide some assistance.

Red Sox rally past Angels to remain in AL East hunt
By | Reuters
BOSTON (Reuters) - The Boston Red Sox stretched their unbeaten streak against the Los Angeles Angels to nine games with a 7-5 win on Wednesday that kept them in the hunt for top spot in the American League East division.
Adrian Beltre went 2-for-5 with three RBIs, including a two-run homer in the fifth inning that pulled Boston to within one run of the Angels.
The Red Sox took the lead in the seventh when Los Angeles pitcher Kevin Jepsen threw a bases-loaded wild pitch and then, after an intentional walk, hit pinch-hitter Daniel Nava with the bases loaded to bring in the game-winning run.
"He bounced a curve ball and yanked a fastball inside," Angels manager Mike Scioscia told local media of Jepsen's errant pitches. "He was trying to elevate. He had the right idea, but just didn't execute."
Red Sox starter John Lackey, who spent the previous eight seasons with the Angels, allowed five runs in seven innings and won for the third time this year against his former team.
Closer Jonathan Papelbon struck out the side in the ninth to earn his 30th save of the year.
Angels starter Scott Kazmir pitched five innings and allowed four runs before his bullpen let him down.
Victor Martinez recorded an RBI single in the eighth and finished 3-for-5 for the Red Sox (69-52), while Nava added a diving catch with two men on in the eighth to seal the win.
"That ball gets by him, they probably take the lead," said Boston outfielder Bill Hall. "That's a play you've got to take a chance on. That's what he did."
After sweeping Boston in last year's American League divisional series, Los Angeles has been unable to solve their AL opponents.
The Angels (60-61) have lost three straight and are eight games behind the first-placed Texas Rangers in the AL West.

This is the most versatile of all the disco dances which were extremely popular in the 1970s. Lots of spins, very fun. Easy to learn and will definitely get your feet moving!
The Hustle became popular in the 1970's. Assisted by the movie, "Saturday Night Fever", it became a marked return to popular dances where couples touched each other in the dance. Hustle is usually danced to 2/4 or 4/4 beat music, often characterized as "Disco"music, Turns, spins, and wraps, are the primary components of the Hustle. The more accomplished dancers will add syncopated timing and elaborate arm styling. The melody and beat are based on rhythm and blues and the accent on each of the bass beats makes the music hard to resist.


Mercury fillings have been used for decades. Most likely you've heard reports that mercury fillings may be unsafe. St. Paul, MN General Dentist has practiced Mercury Free Dentistry for over 30 years. Our practice receives many requests from patients for removal of their old mercury fillings so they can be replaced with more attractive and tooth-colored fillings.
Dental fillings made of mercury can leak, permitting decay and discoloration of the tooth's natural enamel. Fillings containing large amounts of mercury will expand and contract, and possibly lead to cracking or breaking of the tooth. This can be painful and most likely will demand costly and time-consuming dental treatment. It can take several visits to the dentist to restore the tooth. This includes placing of a dental crown and possibly root canal treatment. In more extreme cases, removal of the tooth may be required.
The good news is that advances in modern dentistry now offer safer and more cosmetically appealing options for replacement of old mercury fillings. This may include composite or tooth-colored fillings, as well as porcelain inlays and onlays.
During removal we will use cold water to keep the mercury cool and prevent possible release of mercury vapors.
The filling is removed in chunks since drilling the mercury increases the chance of releasing harmful vapors.
High-volume vacuum equipment is used to remove airborne particles of mercury and its vapor.
The air in the treatment room is filtered to capture airborne mercury vapor and other contaminants. You will be given a nasal hood to eliminate the possibility of inhaling harmful mercury vapors and airborne particles. On removal of the fillings, we dispose of all supplies used in the process. Your mouth is then rinsed thoroughly for at least ten seconds.
You do not have to live with unattractive and potentially harmful mercury fillings. If you are concerned about this issue, contact our office for a consultation to discuss your case and develop a treatment plan.
You have probably heard the controversy regarding the safety of mercury used in 'silver' amalgam fillings. St. Paul General Dentist has been a Mercury Free Dentist for nearly 30 years, and we see many patients who request removal of their amalgam fillings and replacement with tooth-colored composite fillings.
However, the concern over amalgam fillings relates to other problems as well. Amalgam fillings can leak, allowing decay and the dark color of the filling causes the surrounding natural enamel to take on a dark color. Large amalgam fillings expand and contract, causing the tooth to crack or break. If this occurs, it can be painful and will most likely require time-consuming and costly dental work. Several procedures may be needed to restore the tooth, including placement of a crown and root canal treatment. In extreme cases, the tooth may break in such a way that requires removal of the tooth.
Fortunately, modern dentistry provides safer, more aesthetically-pleasing options for replacement of mercury fillings. These include composite or tooth-colored fillings, and porcelain inlays and onlays.
Drilling away the amalgam increases the chance of releasing mercury vapors, so we "chunk" out the fillings.
Amalgam particles and mercury vapor are removed with high-volume vacuum equipment. The air in the treatment room is filtered to capture airborne mercury vapor and other contaminants. Our dental team wears dental masks, and you will be given a nasal hood with oxygen if you would like, to eliminate the chances of inhalation of mercury vapors or airborne particles. Immediately after the fillings are removed we dispose of our masks, gloves and the rubber dam. Your entire mouth is then rinsed for at least ten seconds.


Spray evaporative cooling defines a mode of heat transfer where the drops evaporate on contact with the heated surface. Since no water accumulates on the surface, the term "dry wall" is used to described the surface condition. If while operating in the drywall mode the surface temperature is lowered, there will be a transition to a point where water will begin to accumulate on the surface. When water begins to accumulate the surface is said to be "flooded". Behavior at this transition point was investigated experimentally to determine the temperatures and corresponding heat flux at which this transition occurred. Several pressure ranges were considered including one below the triple point of water. Additionally, the results using a grooved surface were compared to those using a smooth surface. It was determined that a grooved surface has no effect on the heat transfer.

Church Of Santa Maria del Carmine – Massaccio – The Tribute Money
For five centuries the artists of Europe have come to these frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel, to learn expressive drawing and the use of light and shade. Indebted to Giotto for realistic modelling and gesturing, Masaccio went beyond his master in these respects. Since these were qualities highly prized by the later Renaissance, Masaccio's influence was even stronger.
If we compare The Tribute Money with one of Giotto's typical compositions, certain differences are obvious. The Masaccio is less firm and impressive as a design of masses. The figures are more alike in shape, standing upright, heads on the same, monotonous level, against a background mostly upright trees and columns. A few slanting arms and cloth-folds are echoed in the distant hillslopes, to give a contrasting theme. But there is nothing like Giotto's inventive variation and architectural building up of complex forms. This is more diffuse and casual: simply a group of people talking. But to compensate, we have in the first place individual figures of considerably more animation, lightness and agility. A notable example is the young man in the center, poised on one slender leg, with the other rising from the ground, his body twisted, head and hands extended with fluent, simple realism. Another is the squatting fisherman at the left; and, in other pictures nearby, those of Adam and Eve Expelled from Eden, and the man shivering with cold in St. Peter Baptizing.
Still more important, as a fundamental development in form, is the genuinely deep space and the wide dispersion of objects in it. Here is no flat gold or blue background, but a vast landscape, receding hill by hill to a far horizon, clearly marked off at various distances by trees and rocky slopes. Its greens and blues, put in distemper on the finished surface, have suffered badly from fire and damp. Even in a drawing made from it by Ruskin, feathery trees, streaks in the sky and details on the hills appear, which are now invisible. Among the figures, there is no cramped huddling: each is in his own bit of space, with plenty of elbow-room. As to color, it is hard to tell which of its qualities are original, and which due to time and restoration. Dust-gathering irregularities in the wall now help to give a shimmering, foggy look to the landscape. The garments are hard, but form a darkly glowing pattern of red, orange, violet and blue against the dull background.
Notice also the broad, simplified modelling in St. Peter Healing and Giving Alms; the soft, enveloping shadows and dramatic contrasts of light and dark, anticipating Leonardo and Rembrandt.
Frescoes and panel paintings by Fra Angelico; the latter in the room called the Ospizio. Of the former, one of the best is the large Crucifixion in the Capitolo; others are on the upper floor, in passages and cells.
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession. Albert Camus


On a much smaller scale—and less of an "organization"—is a personal approach to the BenOp being undertaken by a Catholic lay woman. Leah Libresco, a convert from atheism and a writer, explained in a recent talk that after graduating from college she was looking for a way to deepen her faith and form better community relationships. Then talk of the BenOp came onto her radar screen, and she was intrigued. But she noticed that lots of people discussing the Benedict Option were talking in terms of grand projects that would take years to implement.
She began by inviting friends over to her DC apartment for dinners once a month. The evenings included time for prayer and discussion. The group, which has grown to about 50 people, also gets together for book discussions, debates, play readings and other activities. Not everyone comes at the same time.
Libresco's "little way" of a Benedict Option provides a good model for people to follow, if they don't have the resources to start or move to a community such as Clear Creek.

Artificial Intelligence Colloquium (Archived) (Archived)
March 6-7, 2019,
DARPA has long been a leader in the field of artificial intelligence, establishing the foundations of the field and leading creation of expert systems, and then supporting the expansion of machine learning. The agency's most recent investments — undertaken as part of DARPA's $2 billion AI Next campaign — are supporting a shift in AI systems from tools alone to trusted, collaborative partners in problem solving. To increase awareness of DARPA's expansive AI R&D efforts, the agency is hosting an Artificial Intelligence Colloquium (AIC) in March 2019. The event will bring together the Department of Defense research community and stakeholders to learn more about DARPA's current and emerging AI programs, and discover how the technologies in development could apply to diverse missions.

Automatic Implementation of Secure Silicon (AISS) Proposers Day (Archived)
April 10, 2019, 9:00 AM EDT,
The Microsystems Technology Office is holding a Proposers Day meeting to provide information on our new Automatic Implementation of Secure Silicon (AISS) program. AISS will address the economic and technical challenges associated with building in chip security. The program aims to automate the process of incorporating scalable defense mechanisms into chip designs, while allowing designers to explore economics versus security trade-offs, and maximize design productivity. The objective is to develop a design tool and IP ecosystem – which includes tool vendors, chip developers, IP licensers, and the open-source community – that will allow security to be inexpensively incorporated into chip designs with minimal effort and expertise, ultimately making scalable on-chip security pervasive.

Selected DARPA Achievements
DARPA's Stealth Revolution
In the early days of DARPA's work on stealth technology, Have Blue, a prototype of what would become the F-117A, first flew successfully in 1977. The success of the F-117A program marked the beginning of the stealth revolution, which has had enormous benefits for national security.
Navigation in the Palm of Your Hand
Early GPS receivers were bulky, heavy devices. In 1983, DARPA set out to miniaturize them, leading to a much broader adoption of GPS capability.
Paving the Way to the Modern Internet
ARPA research played a central role in launching the Information Revolution. The agency developed and furthered much of the conceptual basis for the ARPANET—prototypical communications network launched nearly half a century ago—and invented the digital protocols that gave birth to the Internet.

The first time we meet you will have the opportunity to talk through the difficulties you are experiencing and about the changes you would like to make. I will ask questions relating to your history so that I can fully understand how and when the difficulties may have arisen. We will then agree on the areas of your life that we will look at together. After this inital session we will meet weekly, for 50 minutes to explore your thoughts and feelings regarding these areas. This may be for an agreed period of time or the work maybe open-ended.
How many sessions will take place?
This will be agreed when we initially meet and depends on the difficulties that you are experiencing. For some the work will be short term whereas for others the nature of the problem may mean that further sessions over a longer period are needed. Once an initial period has been agreed the sessions will be reviewed regularly to make sure they remain beneficial.
What is an Integrative Counsellor?
The Humanistic/Person-Centred approach concentrates on how you are feeling and allows a safe place to talk through your issues. By creating an environment that is empathic, congruent and non-judgemental, the counsellor accepts you for who you are and helps you become more accepting of yourself.
The CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) approach looks at the situation you are currently in. The counsellor would explore the negative thinking and behaviour you present, help you to recognise triggers, and learn ways to break the cycle of this behaviour and thinking. This enables you to cope with everyday life in a more positive way.
The Psychodynamic approach looks at your past - how you have been brought up and/or major events in your life. It looks at the unconscious and, by talking through your issues the counsellor would help you gain an insight into yourself and thus make the unconscious, conscious.
My Integrative training enables me to combine these approaches and tailor the therapy to meet each client's individual needs. For me as an Integrative Counsellor, this is crucial as each client is unique and I, therefore, feel that the Counselling must be respectful of this.
How much does the Counselling cost?
My fee is £45 per session and I offer a reduced fee of £35 for a student Counsellor.

Thank you for visiting our site in your search for "Sell Steems Bittylicious" online. Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more resistant to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be attained by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. Since among the earliest forms of making money is in money lending, it truly is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, some of those websites you might be demanded fill in a captcha after a specific time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for visiting them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there is no requirement for substantial amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The smallest events in the world market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also get involved in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. This mining task validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're attempting to do something illegal, it isn't recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the character of the process where it's transacted. All transactions on the crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This isn't something short term wherever your visitors may dispute or require a discounts, or use unethical sleight of hand. In-practice, many merchants will be wise to work with a transaction processor, due to the irreversible character of crypto currency transactions, you need to be sure that safety is tough. With any kind of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your private secrets and therefore grab your money. However, you most likely will never have it back. It is quite crucial for you to embrace some excellent safe and secure procedures when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing so may protect you from all of these bad activities. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the number of "shares" won.
If you're considering going it alone, it really is worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a steady stream of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to entirely block the wages. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is nothing more than a representation of value, but there is absolutely no actual tangible kind of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal limitations enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be traded as being a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies say this sort of digital income is not managed by way of a fundamental banking system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are a restricted variety of items, this money's benefit is dependant on market forces, letting homeowners to industry over cryptocurrency transactions. When searching online forSell Steems Bittylicious, there are many things to think about.

The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the appropriate location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it repaired. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present constitutional problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. You've probably heard this often where you generally spread the nice word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What goes on when the cost accidents? " sofar, several POS devices presents free conversion of fiat, improving some matter, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most of the people will undoubtedly be resistant to put on any. We must find a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. Lots of people prefer to use a currency deflation, especially individuals who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal solitude, for example, is great for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place as part of your wealth, with the rest allowed for other currencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't necessary to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it's fundamentally crucial that you comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Governments and banks can simply choose to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. If you are in search of Sell Steems Bittylicious, look no further than TAN.
It should be hard to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small increases is more lucrative than attempting to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to have a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.

Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and lose out on quite successful business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital currency referred to as Bitcoin. There are distinct from common currency we understand. It is because they're not commanded by any country or authorities. They do not go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. It also brought huge alternatives to the issues of identity theft online.

'Inter are in a good period of form' – Simone Inzaghi
Sun 28 November 2021 | 3:39
Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi believes the Nerazzurri are in 'a good period of form' following a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Venezia and hits out at those who expected Inter to struggle this season.

VATICAN: Congregation for Clergy takes over responsibility for Seminaries
"The formation of sacred ministers was one of the main concerns of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, who wrote that, 'fully aware that the desired renewal of the whole Church depends to a great extent on the ministry of its priests, [the Council] proclaims the extreme importance of priestly training'. In this context, canon 232 of the Code of Canon Law claims 'the duty and the proper and exclusive right' of the formation of those who are designated for the sacred ministries?that by regulation takes place in seminaries?as belonging to the Church."
"The first body of a universal character entrusted with the foundation, government, and administration of seminaries; was the Congregatio Seminariorum instituted by Benedict XIII in the constitution 'Creditae Nobis' (1725). Over time that organisation became defunct and the seminaries continued to receive the Holy See's particular consideration through the Sacred Congregation of the Council (which today is the Congregation for the Clergy) or also through the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Regulars and, from 1906, only by means of the latter."
"With the Apostolic Constitution 'Sapienti consilio' (1908), St Pius X reserved jurisdiction over seminaries to the Sacred Consistorial Congregation. … With the Motu Proprio 'Seminaria clericorum' (1915), Benedict XV created a new dicastery that took the name 'Sacra Congregatio de Seminariis et Studiorum Universitatibus'. The Holy Father explained his decision as due to concern for the increasing amount of issues and the importance of the office. … The new dicastery … was adopted by the Code of Canon Law of 1917."
"It is significant to note that, during the drafting of the new Code, there was discussion regarding the possibility of maintaining the same provision but, in the end, it seemed more appropriate to premise the entire norm as an introduction to the part that dealt with the clergy. Thus the rules and directives regarding seminaries were included under the apt title of 'The Formation of Clerics'.The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council again recalled that 'major seminaries are necessary for priestly formation'. Therefore, according to the Second Vatican Council and the Code of Canon Law of 1983, seminaries fall under the sphere of the 'formation of clerics' that, to be true and effective, must seal permanent formation with seminary formation."
"As my venerated predecessor, Blessed John Paul II, affirmed in the Apostolic Exhortation 'Pastores dabo vobis' (1992)'It is particularly important to be aware of and to respect the intrinsic link between formation before ordination to the priesthood and formation after ordination. Should there be a break in continuity, or worse a complete difference between these two phases of formation, there would be serious and immediate repercussions on pastoral work and fraternal communion among priests, especially those in different age groups'."
"I find it opportune, therefore, to assign the promotion and governance of everything regarding the formation, the life, and the ministry of priests and deacons to the Congregation for the Clergy: from the pastoral care for vocations and the selection of candidates for Holy Orders?including their personal, spiritual, doctrinal, and pastoral formation in seminaries and special centres for permanent deacons to their permanent formation including living conditions and procedures for exercising their ministry and their welfare and social assistance."

In 1987 Rebecca Louise Cann, Mark Stoneking, and Allan Charles Wilson published Mitochondrial DNA and Human Evolution in the journal Nature. The authors compared mitochondrial DNA from different human populations worldwide, and from those comparisons they argued that all human populations had a common ancestor in Africa around 200,000 years ago. Mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) is a small circular genome found in the subcellular organelles, called mitochondria.
Carnegie Institution of Washington Department of Embryology
The Carnegie Institution of Washington's (CIW) Embryology Department was opened in 1914 and remains one of six departments in the CIW. The department quickly became, and remains, world renowned for its many embryonic development discoveries. In 1913 Franklin P. Mall, Professor of Anatomy at Johns Hopkins Medical School, applied for a Carnegie grant to support his research with human embryos. Mall had a collection of over 800 human embryo specimens and was at the point of wanting to do more than just collect.

Park v. Chessin (1977)
The New York Appellate Court ruled on 11 December 1977 in favor of Steven and Hetty Park and against Herbert Chessin for the wrongful life of the Parks' child. In a wrongful life case, a disabled or sometimes deceased child brings suit against a physician for failing to inform its parents of possible genetic defects, thereby causing harm to the child when born. Park v. Chessin was the first case to rule that medical personnel could be legally responsible for wrongful life. Further cases such as the 1979 case Berman v. Allan and the 1982 case Turpin v.
Magnetic Resonance Microscopy (MRM)
Magnetic Resonance Microscopy (MRM) is an imaging method that allows the visualization of internal body structures. Using powerful magnets to send energy into cells, MRM picks up signals from inside a specimen and translates them into detailed computer images. MRM is a useful tool for scientists because of its ability to generate digital slices of scanned specimens that can be constructed into virtual 3D images without destroying the specimens. MRM has become an increasingly prevalent imaging technique in embryological studies.
Aristotle (384-322 BCE)
Aristotle studied developing organisms, among other things, in ancient Greece, and his writings shaped Western philosophy and natural science for greater than two thousand years. He spent much of his life in Greece and studied with Plato at Plato's Academy in Athens, where he later established his own school called the Lyceum. Aristotle wrote greater than 150 treatises on subjects ranging from aesthetics, politics, ethics, and natural philosophy, which include physics and biology. Less than fifty of Aristotle's treatises persisted into the twenty-first century.
Ann Trow (Madame Restell) (1812–1878)
Self-proclaimed female physician Ann Trow was a women's reproductive health specialist as well as an abortion provider in New York City, New York during the mid 1800s. Though she had no formal medical training or background, Trow provided women with healthcare and abortions under the alias Madame Restell. Restell gained attention across the United States for her career as a professional abortionist during a time when abortions were highly regulated and punishable with imprisonment. Restell was tried numerous times for carrying out abortions.
Mary-Claire King (1946– )
Mary-Claire King studied genetics in the US in the twenty-first century. King identified two genes associated with the occurrence of breast cancer, breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer 2 (BRCA2). King showed that mutated BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes cause two types of reproductive cancer, breast and ovarian cancer. Because of King's discovery, doctors can screen women for the inheritance of mutated BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes to evaluate their risks for breast and ovarian cancer.
Niemann-Pick Disease
In 1914 Albert Niemann, a German pediatrician who primarily studied infant metabolism, published a description of an Ashkenazi Jewish infant with jaundice, nervous system and brain impairments, swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), and an enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly). He reported that these anatomical disturbances resulted in the premature death of the child at the age of eighteen months. After extensively studying the abnormal characteristics of the infant, Niemann came to the conclusion that the disease was a variant of Gaucher's disease.

Edward Donnall Thomas (1920-2012)
Edward Donnall Thomas, an American physician and scientist, gained recognition in the scientific community for conducting the first bone marrow transplant, a pioneering form of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Bone marrow transplants are considered to be the first successful example of tissue engineering, a field within regenerative medicine that uses hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as a vehicle for treatment. Prior to Thomas's groundbreaking work, most blood-borne diseases, including certain inherited and autoimmune diseases, were considered lethal.
Meiosis in Humans
Meiosis, the process by which sexually-reproducing organisms generate gametes (sex cells), is an essential precondition for the normal formation of the embryo. As sexually reproducing, diploid, multicellular eukaryotes, humans rely on meiosis to serve a number of important functions, including the promotion of genetic diversity and the creation of proper conditions for reproductive success.
"Maternal Thyroid Deficiency During Pregnancy and Subsequent Neuropsychological Development of the Child" (1999), by James E. Haddow et al.
From 1987 to the late 1990s, James Haddow and his team of researchers at the Foundation for Blood Research in Scarborough, Maine, studied children born to women who had thyroid deficiencies while pregnant with those children. Haddow's team focused the study on newborns who had normal thyroid function at the time of neonatal screening. They tested the intelligence quotient, or IQ, of the children, ages eight to eleven years, and found that all of the children born to thyroid-hormone deficient mothers performed less well than the control group.
Subject: Experiments
Social Implications of Non-Invasive Blood Tests to Determine the Sex of Fetuses
By 2011, researchers in the US had established that non-invasive blood tests can accurately determine the gender of a human fetus as early as seven weeks after fertilization. Experts predicted that this ability may encourage the use of prenatal sex screening tests by women interested to know the gender of their fetuses. As more people begin to use non-invasive blood tests that accurately determine the sex of the fetus at 7 weeks, many ethical questions pertaining to regulation, the consequences of gender-imbalanced societies, and altered meanings of the parent-child relationship.

Roger Wolcott Sperry (1913–1994)
Roger Wolcott Sperry
studied the function of the nervous system in the US during the
twentieth century. He studied split-brain patterns in cats and
humans that result from separating the two hemispheres of the
brain by cutting the corpus callosum, the bridge between the two
hemispheres of the brain. He found that separating the corpus
callosum the two hemispheres of the brain could not communicate
and they performed functions as if the other hemisphere did not
Clinical Tests of Estrogen Injections on Women with Abnormal Menstrual Cycles During the Early 1920s by Jean Paul Pratt and Edgar Allen
In the early twentieth century US, Jean Paul Pratt and Edgar Allen conducted clinical experiments on women who had abnormal menstrual cycles. During the clinical tests, researchers injected the hormone estrogen into their patients to alleviate their menstrual ailments, which ranged from irregular cycles to natural menopause. The hormone estrogen plays a prominent role in the menstrual cycle by signaling the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) to thicken in preparation for possible pregnancy.
All cells that have a nucleus, including plant, animal, fungal cells, and most single-celled protists, also have mitochondria. Mitochondria are particles called organelles found outside the nucleus in a cell's cytoplasm. The main function of mitochondria is to supply energy to the cell, and therefore to the organism. The theory for how mitochondria evolved, proposed by Lynn Margulis in the twentieth century, is that they were once free-living organisms.

Roy John Britten (1919-2012)
Roy John Britten studied DNA sequences in the US in the second
half of the twentieth century, and he helped discover repetitive
elements in DNA sequences. Additionally, Britten helped propose
models and concepts of gene regulatory networks. Britten studied the
organization of repetitive elements and, analyzing data from the
Human Genome Project, he found that the repetitive elements in DNA
segments do not code for proteins, enzymes, or cellular parts.
Britten hypothesized that repetitive elements helped cause cells to
Alfred Day Hershey (1908–1997)
During the twentieth century in the United States, Alfred Day Hershey studied phages, or viruses that infect bacteria, and experimentally verified that genes were made of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Genes are molecular, heritable instructions for how an organism develops. When Hershey started to study phages, scientists did not know if phages contained genes, or whether genes were made of DNA or protein. In 1952, Hershey and his research assistant, Martha Chase, conducted phage experiments that convinced scientists that genes were made of DNA.
Noninvasive Fetal Aneuploidy Detection for Trisomy 21, 13, and 18
Noninvasive fetal aneuploidy detection technology allows for the detection of fetal genetic conditions, specifically having three chromosomes, a condition called aneuploidy, by analyzing a simple blood sample from the pregnant woman. Dennis Lo and Rossa Chiu researched methods of detection of aneuploidies in the early twenty-first century. Their research has been specifically applied to three trisomies, trisomy twenty-one known as Down syndrome, trisomy eighteen known as Edwards Syndrome, and trisomy thirteen known as Patau Syndrome.
Oliver Allison Ryder III (1946– )
Oliver Allison Ryder studied chromosomal evolution and endangered species in efforts for wildlife conservation and preservation at the San Diego Zoo in San Diego, California. Throughout his career, Ryder studied breeding patterns of endangered species. He collected and preserved cells, tissues, and DNA from endangered and extinct species to store in the San Diego Frozen Zoo, a center for genetic research and development in San Diego, California.
Stanley Alan Plotkin (1932– )
Stanley Alan Plotkin developed vaccines in the United States during the mid to late twentieth century. Plotkin began his research career at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he studied the rubella virus. In pregnant women, the rubella virus caused congenital rubella syndrome in the fetus, which led to various malformations and birth defects. Using WI-38 cells, a line of cells that originated from tissues of aborted fetuses, Plotkin successfully created RA27/3, a weakened strain of the rubella virus, which he then used to develop a rubella vaccine.
Ernest John Christopher Polge (1926-2006)
Twentieth-century researcher Ernest John Christopher Polge studied the reproductive processes of livestock and determined a method to successfully freeze, thaw, and utilize viable sperm cells to produce offspring in animals. In 1949, Polge identified glycerol as a cryoprotectant, or a medium that enables cells to freeze without damaging their cellular components or functions. Several years later, Polge used glycerol in a freezing process called vitrification, which enabled him to freeze poultry sperm, thaw that sperm, and use it to fertilize vertebrate embryos.

The data that results from devices and channels within IoT is growing exponentially. Learn how to leverage that data using IBM's Watson IoT.
Once you've connected your 'things' with the Watson Internet of Things platform, the next question is how to process the received data. In some scenarios, the raw data triggers actions immediately, sometimes the data needs to be persisted so that it can be used for historical/descriptive analysis, and sometimes the data is used to perform predictive analytics and prescriptive analytics.
The Watson Internet of Things platform uses MQTT, which is a lightweight and secure publish/subscribe messaging transport protocol. Developers can write applications that talk MQTT to do whatever they like to do. In addition, the Watson Internet of Things platform provides functionality to process data without custom development.
Below is an (incomplete) list of features and patterns how to handle the data from Internet of Things devices.
In the easiest case, data can be displayed via cards in the Internet of Things dashboard.
With the IoT Real-Time Insights rules can be defined to invoke actions like IFTTT, Send Email, Webhook and Node-RED. Read the article Perform Actions in IBM Watson IoT Platform Analytics Real-Time Insights for details.
Via the Watson IoT platform, data can be stored automatically either in the TimeSeries database or Cloudant NoSQL database. Applications can access this data asynchronously for descriptive analytics. Read the article Timeseries Data Analysis of IoT events by using Jupyter Notebook for more.
Apache Spark can be used to analyze data and notebooks can be used to visualize data. Additionally the machine learning library in Apache Spark can be used for predictive analytics. Read the articles Realtime IoT data analysis using Apache Spark for more.
Another alternative is the Predictive Analytics service on Bluemix. You can define models and deploy the models to Bluemix to perform predictions. Read Engage Machine Learning for detecting anomalous behaviors of things for more.
There is also a connector between MQTT and Kafka which is provided in the Bluemix Message Hub service. Read Integrating Watson IoT Platform with Message Hub and Apache Spark for more.
For many IoT scenarios serverless computing is interesting. Read my earlier blog and check out the open source project openwhisk_mqtt_feed.


The Federal Reserve Board, along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, today issued a final rule that adopts uniform regulations implementing section 109 of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Interstate Act).
The rule is effective October 10, 1997.
As required by section 109, the rule prohibits any bank from establishing or acquiring a branch or branches outside of its home state under the Interstate Act primarily for the purpose of deposit production. The rule also provides guidelines for determining whether such a bank is reasonably helping to meet the credit needs of the communities served by interstate branches.

It's been a good week and it's only Thursday! I've cooed and oohed and aahed over NYPL's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing 2013 list before. Nothing new to say . . . or is there? I don't suppose you happened to see NPR's interactive booklist consisting of their Best Books of 2013 (in a rare moment of bliss, I like all their children's book choices though some diversity wouldn't have been out of place). Well, NYPL took one look at that list and thought, "Heck. We can do that." And so they did! Meet the Interactive Books List of NYPL. It's gorgeous. It's user friendly. It's the only place you can find animated Melissa Sweet. Overall, I rather love it. Hope you do too.
In other best book news, Colby Sharp and Donalyn Miller teamed up at BuzzFeed and produced a list of 20 of the Best Children's Books 2013. And AGAIN I like all the choices. Do you know how rare this is? Extra points for including Donner Dinner Party. Love that thing. Love anyone who includes it on a list.
Having trouble keeping track of all the Best Of lists out there? Mr. Schu's your man. Thanks to him, we now have a nicely compiled 2013 Best Books Lists posting. It's very attractive. Of course, if you want the most complete listing out there, there's no better place to go than Chicken Spaghetti. The information is AMAZING over there.
A lot has been said lately about how big Best lists of children's books this year have neglected to include any Latino characters (NPR and The New York Times most notably). Perfect timing then for the 2014 Reading Challenge suggested by Latin@s in Kid Lit. Take a look at the guidelines and join, but seriously? One book a month? I think you can handle that. They even have some suggestions to start you off (yay, Nino!).
And, of course, if you read only one Best list, read the 100 Scope Notes highly hilarious Year in Miscellanea. Plus he mentions my superfluous little cupcake. Quoth he it's, "the Axl Rose Hair Metal hair of picture book cover cupcakes." You're just going to have to read his piece to understand what that means.
SLJ posted The Fault in Our Stars movie poster yesterday. And you know what? I love that tagline.
I had this lovely Children's Literary Salon earlier this month involving dolls in children's literature, which got a little write-up in Publishers Weekly (thanks, Matia!). One of my guests was Krystyna Poray Goddu. She, in turn, created this kind of awesome booklist of dolls in books for kids. It's really rather cool.
Tempted to see Saving Mr. Banks in the theater this holiday season? Feel free but be aware that the film may be throwing P.L. Travers under the bus in the process. A great piece from Jerry Griswold, former Director of the National Center for the Study of Children's Literature.
GAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Well, geez. Most evil baby gift ev-ah.
Anyone who has ever attended one of James Kennedy's 90-Second Newbery Film Festivals will attest that they are a bundle of fun. Just the most delightful little films, created by kids, turning Newbery winners into concise 90-second films. Some are, understandably, better than others but there's nothing cooler than sitting in a theater next to a kid who gets to see their film projected on a big screen for the first time in their young lives. Want to join in? The deadline for the next 90-second films is January 20th. So get cracking, young geniuses! For lots more information about the events and the showings, go here.
Awww. This is so sweet. Over at Mocking It Up, Rebecca did me a solid and created this simply gorgeous infographic on the books that are topping the Mock Newbery lists around the country (she compiled results from 19 different Mocks). That's a ton of work but the results are simply gorgeous. Wowzah! Well done, madam.
Why, yes. That IS a bookshelf in the shape of a robot.
Now you all know what you're getting for your birthday. Surprise!
That Fischer Price baby iPad thingie is scary and evil. But… Did they get the idea for that by watching Wall-e?
That baby looks exactly like the humans on the spaceship in Wall-e.
I just love that two people came up with the same idea unbeknownst to one another.
Thanks for including our 2014 Reading Challenge!!
