Making Oscar history, 'Parasite' wins best picture
Oscar statues stand off of Hollywood Boulevard in preparation for Sunday's 92nd Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre, Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020, in Los Angeles. "Parasite" took Hollywood's top prize on Sunday night, along with awards for best director, best international film and best screenplay. The win was a watershed moment for the Academy Awards, which has long been content to relegate international films to their own category. "Joker" composer Hildur Guðnadóttir became only the third woman to ever win best original score. Disney's ABC hoped a widely watched field of nominees — including the $1 billion-grossing "Joker" — will help viewership.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge earns surprise win for best actress in a comedy
Phoebe Waller-Bridge accepts the award onstage for Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series during the 71st Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on September 22, 2019. The odds had been in the legendary actress' favor to pick up the Emmy award for best comedy actress, but "Fleabag" star Phoebe Waller-Bridge ended up besting her in a surprise win. Waller-Bridge's success in the acting category came just a few awards after she picked up a statue for outstanding comedy series writing. In 2017, Louis-Dreyfus made history becoming the first actress to take home the best actress in a comedy award six times in a row for the same role, breaking a record set by Candice Bergen during her "Murphy Brown" years. In addition to Waller-Bridge's awards, "Fleabag" won the awards for best single-camera picture editing for a comedy series, best directing for a comedy series and best casting for a comedy series.

'Game of Thrones' looks poised to torch more Emmy records
(CNN) - There are plenty of games within the game at this Sunday's Emmy ceremony, but none more intriguing than whether "Game of Thrones" will go out in another blaze of glory, torching the field one more time after its polarizing final season. Still, there are several more milestones that could fall on Sunday, when the main Emmy ceremony is televised by Fox. Three more wins ("Thrones" is nominated in seven remaining categories) would bring the overall 2019 trophies to 13, eclipsing the show's own record of 12, reached in both 2015 and 2016. For starters, those most vocal in their criticism of the final season probably aren't entirely representative of the wider audience base. The Emmy Awards will air Sept. 22 at 8 p.m.

Sue Ann Steele Obituary
May 15, 2022 May 15, 2022 / News
Cowsmopolitan staff wishes to pass along their most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sue Ann Steele.
Sue Ann Steele, 84 of Butler, Missouri passed away Sunday, May 8, 2022 in Lenexa, Kansas. Services are pending at this time.
Sue Ann was born August 19, 1937 in Adrian, Missouri to Richard and Irene Showalter King. She grew up in Adrian and graduated from Adrian High School. On April 27, 1957 she was united in marriage to Ed Steele. To this union two beautiful girls were born. They made their life and home west of Butler, MO, on Steele & King dairy farms where she supported the operations while working a full-time job outside the home. In 2020, Ed and Sue Ann moved to Lenexa, KS to be closer to family.
Sue had a gift for writing and was synonymous with the Missouri Holstein Association serving a lengthy role as executive director and editor of the Mid-States Holstein News. Prior to that, she worked for many years at the Bates County Shopper and then the "Headliner", including being the Sports Director. She was a long-time member of the First Christian Church in Butler where she enjoyed singing in the choir for many years. Sue Ann never missed any of her girls' events growing up and was always happy to welcome their friends in her home. Sue enjoyed watching all kinds of sports, including the Missouri Tigers, but her greatest pride and joy was spending time with her family and traveling all over the US to watch her grandchildren compete in golf tournaments. When Sue wasn't cheering on her grandchildren or the Tigers, she could often be found enjoying a good book or playing a game of bridge.
Sue Ann was preceded in death by her parents, brother and sister-in-law, Jerry & Jeanette King and sister-in-law Celia Engelhardt. She is survived by her two Daughters: Becky Bauersfeld and partner Phillip Thornton of Phoenix, AZ. and Brenda and Ted Chael of Overland Park, KS, Grandson Andrew (Laura) Chael of Mission Woods, KS and Jordan Chael of Lexington, KY. brother-in-law, Bill Engelhardt, of Broken Arrow, OK, niece Denna Johnson of Huntsville, UT, nephew Evan (Cheri) Engelhardt of Prairieville, LA., nephew Rick (Lori) King and niece Julie (Steve) Lewis all of Butler, MO., and Jana (Mike) Boehler of Olathe, KS., along with many great nieces and nephews, and many dear friends.

There is a grain of truth in the idea that people and their animals look alike. When dog shopping most people choose dogs that match their lifestyle, climate and activity level (if they're smart) so it makes sense that there would be underlying similarities.
Except we think that it's the owners who look like the dogs, not the other way around. Either way you look at it, here are some dogs and their owners who look eerily similar to one another.
Checking Your Own Photo Album?
We all like to think our animal is a reflection or even an extension of our personalities. These people have clearly chosen their companions well. We aren't finished yet, it turns out there are A LOT of dog owner look-a-likes & we'll keep sharing.
certainly like your website but you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality then again I will definitely come again again.

HTC One Mini 2 Comes with 4.5-inch, 13 MP But Only 1.2GHz and 1 GB of RAM
We've seen HTC launch the HTC One M8 at the end of March and now the company has introduced the "companion" HTC One Mini 2 which comes with some improved specs for the last year's HTC One Mini edition. By a "mini" edition we usually understand a smartphone or a tablet that comes with a smaller size and not necessarily lower specs, but some OEMs have decided that "mini" also means that. So, unfortunately, while the HTC One Mini 2 does come with some appealing specs, they are far from the ones featured in the One M8. So, here are its main tech specs:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, 1.2 GHz quad-core processor
4.5-inch Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen display with 720p resolution
16GB internal storage and microSD card slot (up to 128GB)
13 MP rear camera with a 5MP front-facing one
Dimensions of 137.43 x 65.04 x 10.6 mm and 137 grams
Metal design like the HTC One (M8), coming in gunmetal gray, glacial silver, and amber gold colors
HTC BoomSound front facing stereo speakers just like on the One (M8)
Android 4.4.2 KitKat
Speaking of the launch, Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, said the following:
The latest member of the award-winning HTC One family distills the advanced features that have earned it global acclaim, into an elegant, compact handset. Its size and tapered edges fit perfectly in a hand, pocket or purse, making it look great and feel even better to use. It's the perfect choice for those who love the iconic design of the HTC One (M8) yet want something more compact.
Compared to the One Mini, the One Mini 2 comes with a slightly bigger display, a higher capacity battery, a different camera design and bigger sensor, but it has the same processor, RAM, and storage capacity. And, unlike the One M8, the One Mini 2 comes with a single rear camera, which could possibly result in better images. On the software side, we see the device running Sense 6.0, a forked version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat. HTC Zoe and BlinkFeed are also present, of course.
For the time being, we don't know the price of the smartphone, and it seems that HTC doesn't have any plans for now to launch the One mini 2 in the United States. The device will begin making its way in Europe, the Middle East and Asia from next month.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday began yet another round of chandi yagam for achieving the separate state demand.
KCR believes the two-day nakshtra puja and chandi yagam performed by a 20-member of all Telangana vedic pundits picked from the region will fulfill the aspirations of the people of the region. For a change, this time the yagam began at Telangana Bhavan, the TRS party headquarters here. The yagam will conclude on KCR's birthday on Friday.
Clad in a red colour silk dhoti, Rao, along with wife Shobha Rani, took the blessings from his guru Veleti Mrityunjaya Sharma and completed the initial rituals under his guidance.

Colombo (News1st) – Leader of PLOT and TNA MP D. Dharmalingam speaking to News1st stated that he believes that Ranil Wickremesinghe has handed in a written assurance of several promises.
He noted that the TNA group met with Ranil Wickremesinghe on a number of occasions and that they had stressed the need for a written assurance. According to Dharmalingam, the promises are said to include agreements on constitutional amendments, freedom for political prisoners, land issue and several other matters.
The MP noted that discussions were also held on International courts in line with the UN resolutions. He reiterated that he believes that Ranil Wickremesinghe has handed in this written assurance.


Many years ago, back when I was in 8th grade, I was at the White House, and the group I was with stood on the lawn while the President of the United States walked out onto the lawn and boarded his helicopter. However, I was too far back in the crowd to see him personally. Being a little taller than the other kids that I was traveling with, I offered to boost one of them onto my shoulders, so he could see better. As a result, I got pictures of the President on my camera (which my friend was able to take from his elevated angle), but never actually saw him myself.
Along the same lines, there's a big parade each year in the city where I live, where a lot of celebrities can typically be seen, waving from the back of nice cars. Despite the fact that participants aren't allowed to throw candy (certainly the reason that I looked forward to parades as a kid), people will set up their front-row parade-watching "reservations" the night before the parade begins. Some stake out their "claim" with lawn chairs, while others will actually purchase a ticket for seats on bleachers next to the parade route.
We like to be in front. Generally, in a situation like this, those in the front row are prepared, pushy, or politely proactive. They have reserved, forced, or excused themselves to a place where they can get a good view.
However, when we are in front, sometimes we can be a little selfish. We may feel entitled to our position, especially if we got there by being clever, foresighted, or even by purchasing a spot. It's easy to become blind and deaf to those "second-row" people behind us: after all, "out of sight, out of mind".
In the 18th chapter of Luke (see Luke 18:35-43 for the entire account), a blind man, who was begging by the side of the road, heard that Jesus was passing by, and called out to Him. Those who already had a good view – whether through being prepared, forcing their way to the front of the crowd, or simply by virtue of being able to see – were disrupted a little bit by his yelling.
If we continue to read (see Luke 18:35-43), we find that Jesus stopped, talked with the man, and then healed him from his blindness. Everyone who was strong (and sighted) enough to get out in front of others, well, they were forced to let someone from the back make his way up to Jesus Himself, and listen to a personal conversation between the Savior and someone who needed healing.
The fact is, God takes care of those whose livelihood is dependent on others. He seems to have a special place in his heart for the poor, the marginalized, and the infirm. However, I believe that He expects us to have that same heart, and sometimes calls upon us to be the instrument by which others receive God's care.
"You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
"You must not exploit a widow or an orphan. If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will blaze against you, and I will kill you with the sword. Then your wives will be widows and your children fatherless.
As a result, If we happen to be in the "front" – even if we feel that we got there through our own hard work, self-sacrifice, or righteousness – let us not forget those who are seeking to see Jesus. We might be called to step aside so that someone else can see Jesus directly, or we might be called upon (like four friends on a roof, see Luke 5:18-19) to actually help another soul get to Jesus – through the crowd and the noise – when he or she lacks the ability to see the way.

Tokyo Untitled
Selected Works BW
Nomadic Editions Poetry/Music
RenatoDagostIndex
In Tokyo Untitled D'Agostin isolates himself in the geometries of the Japanese city. He narrates his journey through his experience of the street, describing with the language of abstract images, charged of deep blacks and sharp edges. Dislocating subjects from their realities, D'Agostin depicts his perception of the space around him, the relationship between the city's architecture and its people, and their interferences. This is emphasized in Tokyo, according to D'Agostin, where he has no reference or connection with the external world, and his sense of disconnection brings him to a discovery of the unseen.
From the preface by Renato D'Agostin
In 2007, I turned my attention to Japanese photography, which inspired me to explore what my point of view could be in a city so far from the world that had always surrounded me, but so close to the photographic imagery towards which I was addressing my attention.
Longing to break the unconscious, immediate and easy processes of the known and the predictable, I traveled to Tokyo for the first time.
I was immediately struck by a sense of disorientation and an inability to quickly locate my own position within the geography of the city. My lack of precise references to the external world created in me feelings of isolation and detachment from my previously known realities.
Tokyo Untitled represents a visual record of my journey to the "capital of the East" and its invisible elements diluted in visible everyday life.
From the afterword by Ralph Gibson
Tokyo Untitled is a perfect name for a place in the mind. A place that can only be accessed through the eyes; a visual place.
Tokyo is enormous because it is Untitled.
These images are the thinnest possible slices of inconceivable urban density. Slices so thin that they must be measured in fractions of light, tiny microscopic moments of DNA in time taken from the huge archeology of a true metropolis.
Everybody knows that Italians are great explorers. Perhaps this one went farther than he expected, directly into the light, into a fascinating and surreal city, not so much science-fiction, more like science-fact. Tokyo Untitled is anyplace you happen to find this book.
From the afterword by Eikoh Hosoe
It seems to me that Renato D'Agostin's "Tokyo Untitled" is a record of the aura of a past Tokyo.
I have lived in Tokyo for more than seventy-six years except one year between September 1944 and 1945. During this period, I was forced to evacuate alone from Tokyo to Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, my mother's native country 300 km northeast of Tokyo to avoid the fire-bombings by American B-29 bombers.
Renato D'Agostin's "Tokyo Untitled" is a collection of surreal and abstract photographs with a strong and unforgettable aura of today's Tokyo. I do hope his "Tokyo Untitled" will give most readers another vision of Tokyo's abstract dream and reality of today.

Bechtelsville, PA June 17, 2007 . . . Early evening rain showers that delayed the start of racing at Grandview Speedway for about 45 minutes made for a lightning fast clay oval. The very fast track proved to the liking of past champion Duane Howard as he won his fourth NASCAR Whelen All American Modified feature, a 30-lapper, on Saturday night. The 25-lap feature for United Racing Company sprint cars, the second part of Troy Wink Motorsports Night, went to Josh Weller.
Weller (Mertztown) charged to the front of the 24-car starting field and managed to lead every lap of the 25-lap feature to earn his first career feature victory with the URC sprint cars.
In the early part of the feature race Ed Aikin, a former Late Model champion at the track, challenged for the top spot from his third place starting spot. At the nine lap marker Chris Coyle moved from fourth to second with defending champion Curt Michael right behind.
For the next 20-laps it was quite a battle for the lead with Coyle sticking very close to the rear of Weller while Curt Michael was waiting for either of the front running duo to make a mistake.
In the final laps Coyle (Wilmington, DE) put heavy pressure on the fleet running Weller but had to settle for second. Curt Michael (Ocean View, DE) came home third. Ed Aikin (Lincoln University, PA) finished fourth followed by Kramer Williamson (Palmyra, PA).
Both Davey Sammons and Mares Stellfox flipped their sprinters during the feature event but suffered no injuries.
The 30-lap feature for the NASCAR Modifieds proved to be the excitement event of the night at least for the final 10 laps on the one-third-mile, banked clay track.
Todd Marburger went to the front of the field from his third place starting position in the 29 car field. The lead was short lived as Kerry Kratz moved to the front and stayed in front of the action until the 7th lap when the red flag brought a halt to the action because of a backstretch flip by Doug Manmiller. Five time track champion Jeff Strunk, working his way toward the front from his 10th place starting position was sent to the rear of the field for a rule infraction.
On the restart Jason Hamilton went to the front and looked as if he could be on his way to his first Grandview Speedway NASCAR Modified feature win.
Kerry Kratz brought out the caution as he hit the wall in between turns three and four. On the restart Danny Erb charged to the front as he and Hamilton made contact.
At 20-laps Danny Erb was in charge but now Duane Howard and his BPG Racing/Troyer Engineering No. 4 had come from 12th to challenge for the lead.
On the 27th lap Howard and Erb went side -by-side with Howard getting the top spot and leading the final three laps to take his fourth win of the season at the Bechtelsville oval.
In victory lane Howard (Oley) was quick to give much of the credit for his win to his chief mechanic Alan Finch. ?Finch tuned it up after the Cash Dash and the car just worked well. It looked like Erb was shutting off in the corners and that allowed me to go low and take the lead,? said Howard. ?The car worked on the bottom.?
When asked by victory lane announcer Pete Knappenberger if he was now planning to stay at Grandview, Howard responded with, ?I think we will be here for a while. We are working so well here.? Howard continues to be the point leader in the Modified division.
Second spot went to Danny Erb (Boyertown) followed by Jason Hamilton (Erwinna), Jeff Strunk (Mohnton) and Shawn Reimert (Oley).
Qualifying heat races for the Modifieds were won by Doug Manmiller, Vince Gagliardo, Duane Howard and Jason Hamilton. The consolations were taken by Ryan Beltz and Rick Schaffer. The Wink Motorsports Cash Dash went to Duane Howard.

When I was little, I always wanted a real Christmas tree and my parents never got one. Now that I have my own little family, we visit a Christmas tree farm every year. This was our first visit to Whitehouse Christmas Tree Farm and as we walked about, it was exciting to see how many people brought their dog to help choose a tree. However, I did not see any dogs posing with a cool headband and scarf like Sir W did next too some Christmas trees. He's the best, have a great week everyone!

Symptoms of a Staph Infection After Surgery

Staphylococcus aureus, which is a bacteria commonly referred to as "staph," is a common organism that lives on the skin but can cause infection if it gets into the body through an incision or wound. Staph infections that develop after surgery can be caused by poor hygiene of medical personnel or the patient; contamination of equipment or devices used during the surgery; or contact with visitors or patients who also are infected.
Digestive problems after surgery may be a symptom of a staph infection, according to the Mayo Clinic. Vomiting and feelings of nausea after surgery may result from toxic shock syndrome, which is a serious complication caused by widespread staph infection. People who have a feeding tube implanted after surgery have a greater risk of getting staph infections as a result of contamination of the tube.
According to the Mayo Clinic, fever after surgery is a symptom of staph infection. A fever that persists after a surgical procedure is a sign that staph is in the bloodstream, which is a serious condition that may become life-threatening. Fevers after surgery may be accompanied by other infection symptoms, including chills, shivering or sweating.
Internal Damage
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, damage to the body's internal organs is a symptom of staph infections after surgery. Staph may get into internal organs after surgery, including the heart and lungs, and cause damage to the valves and muscles. The bones can become infected with staph, and staph that spreads throughout the blood can cause a condition called sepsis, which is life-threatening.
Leakage of surgical wounds is a symptom of staph infections after surgery, according to the Mayo Clinic. The incision may leak pus, which may appear white or yellow and may have a strong or bad smell. The leakage from the surgical site may contain the staph bacteria, which can then infect others who clean the wound or come into contact with linens or clothing, if they do not follow proper infection control procedures.
Pain in the skin or tissue around the surgical site is a symptom of staph infection, according to the Mayo Clinic. Staph infections may begin with symptoms such as mild tenderness around the wound or incision. If the infection is left untreated or is resistant to antibiotic treatments, pain can get worse as the infection spreads into deeper tissue and muscle.
Skin changes around the surgical site are common symptoms of staph infections after surgery, according to the Mayo Clinic. Skin around the incision may develop a rash or bumps and appear red, raw and swollen. The surgical site may feel warm to the touch and look lumpy or rippled due to staph infections.

DJ Premier vs. DJ Scratch in Red Hook
East Coast legends DJ Premier and DJ Scratch faced off on the ones and twos last night (August 18), rocking a crowd of about two thousand strong of all ages and races at Red Hook Park in Brooklyn.
The event was sponsored by the CityParks Foundation in New York City, which has been responsible for a number of outdoor hip-hop shows this summer, including performances by KRS-One, MC Lyte, and Naughty by Nature.
Scratch and Premo kicked it off by cutting up old school funk and soul classics, from The Steve Miller Band's "Joker" to Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" to Carl Douglas's "Kung Fu Fighting," which promptly got Scratch to get in his best Bruce Lee stance. At one point, after Scratch laid down Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour," holding the crowd in slow-jam rapture, Premo was forced to fall back. With nothing on deck, he excused himself, "I just pulled a Pete Rock—I'm not ready yet," jokingly referencing friend and the legendary Mt. Vernon beatsmith who was originally slated to battle Preem.
About 45 minutes in, Premo posed to the crowd, "Y'all ready to get into some hip-hop?" launching into Slick Rick's "Children's Story." A few exchanges later, Scratch broke into the famous sing-a-long "Engine Engine Number Nine," from Black Sheep's "The Choice is Yours" picking up his table in the palm of his right hand, while continuing to scratch the rest of the line ("Pick It Up!") repeatedly with his left.
It was Scratch's show, the true master of turntable theatrics, against Premier, a scratch-heavy producer, but not quite the showman. Yet Scratch paid tribute to his opponent on the evening, spinning such classic beats by the GangStarr producer as "New York State of Mind." Premo returned the favor, spinning "New York Shit," among other Scratch beats.
With only minutes to go in the set, Scratch brought out DJ Evil Dee to close it out, as the Black Moon producer and Scratch took turns swapping in and out on the same deck in fluid rotation. When host Danny Castro of the Lyricist Lounge asked the crowd who won the battle, Scratch won most of the praise, but the reception was considerably muted compared to that which was received by the true victor—the crowd.

Billy Danze wants DJ Premier on his debut album
Billy Danze of M.O.P. works on a debut album. While the other half of M.O.P. Lil Fame already has a lot of work as a solo artist, Billy Danze is getting ready for his debut album as a solo artist. Danze, who has released several solo tracks online, is much closer to the release of his own solo project, he says.
"It's been working, I been getting a lot of good feedback," he explains. "I got Alchemist on the production, Lil Fame, my man Tommy T. DJ Premier's gonna slide me some shit in a minute. It ain't all the way done yet, I'm about halfway done, working on all the features."

And Lil Fame of M.O.P. also confirmed that DJ Premier will be actually on their upcoming album (out 14th of september).
Also, expect a list of producers set to impress many M.O.P. fans, including work from DJ Premier. Probably with one track.
"We got Statik Selektah. We got me, I'm doing some production. We got DR Period. We also got DJ Premier." Of Premier, he added that it was a wonderful experience to link back up with the fellow New York vet. "It's beautiful, man. We tried to get some more from him but we didn't have time."

Tether's Billion Dollar Reserves May Not Equate to 'One-to-One Backing' or 'No Misconduct'
Mitchell Moos · Dec 20, 2018 · 6 min read
Bloomberg reported that Tether "has the billions it promised," suggesting that USDT could be backed one-to-one by dollars. That said, the reserves do not necessarily prove Tether's innocence in a laundry list of other misconduct.
On Dec. 18th, Bloomberg reported that "Crypto-Mystery Clues Suggest Tether Has the Billions It Promised," citing statements that span four months of cash held in Tether's dollar reserves. Unfortunately, these claims do not guarantee that Tether is backed one-to-one prior to the date of the bank statements, or even in-between reporting periods.
These new findings by Bloomberg do not expunge Tether from potential misconduct or alleged market manipulation.
Bloomberg's Findings
According to Bloomberg's recent piece:
"…one statement shows $2.2 billion was in Tether's account at Puerto Rico's Noble Bank Ltd. on Jan. 31. That same day, 2.195 billion Tethers existed…."
These claims could suggest Tether really is backed one-to-one by dollars, calming the overwhelming skepticism around Tether's marketing claims. Some in the media have trumpeted the report, falsely suggesting that Tether is backed by deposits of USD and downplaying the risks involved with owning the coin.
Controversy Surrounding Tether
Considering the massive amount of USDT in circulation and its importance in the crypto-economy, the amount of controversy surrounding Tether is shocking.
There have been thousands of inquiries asking "is Tether a scam?" on Google, Reddit, and Twitter. Dozens of publications have written on the topic, and there is an army of bloggers on Medium and other platforms sounding the alarm.
Potential Market Manipulation
Not only that, a research paper authored by John Griffin, the Chair in Finance at McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, studied the possibility of Bitcoin price manipulation using Tether. The findings were telling.
According to the study, if Tether was pushed onto exchanges rather than demanded by investors with dollars in hand, then Tether may not be fully backed by dollars when issued. Furthermore, using Tether's cryptocurrency reserves, the company can move its assets around to claim that their holdings are fully backed:
"However, if the issuers [Tether Ltd.] wished to post monthly bank statements to shore up dollar reserves and appear fully backed, this would necessitate the liquidation of the purchased Bitcoins at the end-of-the-month."
The study further clarifies the relationship between investor demand and Bitcoin prices:
"These patterns cannot be explained by investor demand proxies but are most consistent with the supply-based hypothesis where Tether is used to provide price support and manipulate cryptocurrency prices."
According to the study, the large size of Tether issuances enables the coin to be traded strategically, manipulating the price of Bitcoin. These trades allow Tether to stabilize the price of Bitcoin, set certain price floors, and push the price of cryptocurrencies upwards.
The study explains that the sheer size of Tether's issuances allows the company to singlehandedly push up the price. Following such an upswing, the company is then able to cash out its purchased Bitcoin on over-the-counter (OTC) exchanges to obscure the trades and cover the minted Tether. To avoid scrutiny, Tether can convert the cryptocurrency back to U.S. dollars by end of month to demonstrate to the public that it's backed "one-to-one."
In conclusion, the researcher suggests:
"…our findings provide substantial support for the view that price manipulation [by Tether] may be behind substantial distortive effects in cryptocurrencies. These findings suggest that external capital market surveillance and monitoring may be necessary to obtain a market that is truly free."
Even if the snapshots of Tether's bank accounts might indicate that the company has the reserves it claims, that is not sufficient evidence to prove the origin of those coins, the activity the coins have been engaged in, or that backing is continued through the entire month prior to a bank statement.
Apparent Lack of Transparency
To further exacerbate these issues, there is a large lack of transparency from Tether. The company has not addressed the mountain of questions around its banking relationships or audit process.
It is very difficult, if not impossible, for Tether holders to redeem their USDT for dollars, which does not help. There have been a number of requests on Reddit and Twitter for any evidence that USDT is at all redeemable.
Tether has tried to clear the air by conducting and releasing an audit, but, instead of undergoing a proper audit, the company hired a law firm to issue a questionable 'report' that does not necessarily clarify the company's conduct. The company's general counsel went as far as to say that "an audit cannot be obtained."
The company announced several of its new banking partnerships and has released its bank statements on several occasions, as in the case reported by Bloomberg. However, the company seems to do so quite selectively, suggesting it may only release information when it is favorable for Tether.
Ongoing Criminal Investigation
In another article, Bloomberg reported that the Justice Department has recently launched a criminal probe into potential cryptocurrency market price manipulation. The investigation is exploring whether the explosion and subsequent contraction of the markets was influenced by fraudulent activity. One of the major suspects: Tether Ltd.
Centralization and Contraction
In a February post on Hackernoon, one author found that there were extreme levels of USDT centralization. Of Tether's 100,000 total addresses at the time, the top 200 addresses controlled 90 percent of the total supply; this amount was more than double BTC's wealth concentration at the time.
In another analysis by Alex Vikati, the founder of Blockspur, a provider of blockchain data and research, found the following:
"…Tether's 'real supply' has been contracting, even though it has not done an on-chain supply revocation since January. Assuming Tether and Bitfinex are the same entity, Tether has been 'redeeming' its own tokens, including over 130M in the last 24 hours and over 740M in October, by receiving tokens in its treasury account from a Bitfinex account."
Those findings could indicate that some of those tokens are not backed by dollars consistently held in a financial institution.
"What this suggests is that many Tether addresses are simply being used to cycle funds from entities to entities. Thus, the high token velocity should be discounted for such use cases," said Vitaki.
These findings are consistent with a report which uncovered that "80 percent of the Coin Market Cap top 25 BTC pairs volume is wash traded."
Avoided by Financial Institutions
Many financial institutions will not even entertain the idea of business with Tether. It's unclear whether this is due to the nature of cryptocurrency, or because of Tether's practices. According to Bloomberg, Tether has churned through multiple banking partners.
Both banks and Tether Ltd. are reluctant to disclose their relationship, as this has resulted in banks losing partnerships. For example, Tether and Bitfinex lost their Taiwanese banks in 2017 when Wells Fargo terminated their relationship with correspondent banks in Taiwan after hearing about dealings with the cryptocurrency firms.
Although banks are typically risk-averse, especially to cryptocurrency companies, it still appears that Tether and Bitfinex have had an unusual amount of trouble securing a reliable banking partner. Some Tether critics have made this a point of suspicion.
Importance of Tether in the Crypto-Economy
Tether is a cryptocurrency that is allegedly backed one-to-one and "always equivalent to 1 USD." The crypto provides much-needed stability to the markets, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptos sometimes fluctuating 20 percent or more in a single day.
Tether also represents a pseudo-fiat on-ramp into crypto. Many cryptocurrency exchanges are able to avoid additional regulatory scrutiny by only offering crypto-to-crypto pairs. With a way to operate without the need for fiat, exchanges can operate with even less oversight. Instead of offering fiat services, Tether is often used in place of a fiat pair.
Additionally, Bitfinex, one of the world's largest crypto-exchanges, is closely related to Tether Ltd. Both Hong Kong-based companies share the same management team, and Bitfinex is one of the few official places where USDT is sold and redeemed from Tether Ltd.
With that information in mind, Tether is able to function as a pseudo-bank, since these exchanges are often unable to gain access to reputable banking services. Instead of using the traditional banking system, cryptocurrency exchanges can transmit Tether anywhere in the world with minimal involvement of banks or government institutions.
At the moment, stablecoins constitute roughly $2.5 billion of the market value of all cryptocurrency, comprising between 1.5-2.3 percent of the overall market, depending on whether the market is bullish or bearish. Tether is one of the oldest stablecoins, representing over 75 percent of that value among a dozen or so different coins.
In one analysis conducted in July, Tether is equivalent to 60 percent of BTC's daily trading volume, representing a (suspiciously) large trading velocity.
How Tether Can Impact the Market
Although Tether Ltd. has confirmed snapshots of its reserves, those snapshots do not guarantee that the tokens are always backed one-to-one. Even if reports from Bloomberg and other news outlets suggest that at the end of the month USDT in circulation is equal to USD in the bank, there is still a lot of uncertainty around the company's conduct.
Additionally, there is a cauldron of allegations of company misconduct. Even if some of these are true, it could cause a tremendous loss of confidence in USDT, potential loss of exchange access for Tether, and may even ultimately result in the failure of the company.
Since the cryptocurrency market is highly dependent on Tether, a faltering—or worse yet, a collapse—of Tether would be catastrophic. Such an event may trigger another Mt. Gox-like event, which resulted in one of the worst bear markets of 2011. If something equivalent were to happen today, it could curse the markets with another grueling bear market.

Linkin Park's Brad Delson 'Super Grateful' for Polarizing New Album's No. 1 Debut

Given how polarized Linkin Park's fanbase has been over its new album, One More Light, the bandmembers weren't necessarily expecting to snag their fifth No. 1 album debut on the Billboard 200. But that only made it more gratifying when it did after the set's mid-May release.
"Obviously, there are always risks involved, so for us, the reward is the music itself, for sure," guitarist and One More Light co-producer Brad Delson tells Billboard. "To have our sixth [studio] album hit No. 1, it's really, really humbling, and we're just super grateful for everyone who collaborated with us on this project, to our team and to our fans here in the States and really around the world, 'cause the album had a huge debut globally. The fact that it debuted even beyond what we predicted is a great starting point, and now we get to bring those songs on the road and share them every night."
Linkin Park Leaps to No. 1 on Billboard Artist 100
After playing South America during May, Linkin Park is currently in Europe through July 7 and begins its North American tour on July 27 in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Shows so far have included about a half-dozen of the new songs, which Delson says are coexisting nicely with the older material in the set list.
"These songs on this album are very natural for us to play, I think, because of the way they were written," Delson explains. Because Linkin Park and its outside songwriting collaborators came up with melodies first and then constructed instrumental tracks around them, he says the One More Light material is "easier to share and play, whereas on other albums that translation process from what we did in the studio to the stage took some thinking and some work. These [new] songs are very versatile. They're natural to play, and they fit in with the other songs as well." They're also open to reinvention, which Linkin Park plans to try while it's on the road.
"One thing that we're pushing ourselves to do is to be able to play these songs in different forms, whether it's the version you hear on the album, whether it's something really stripped down and intimate or whatever," Delson says. "I think these songs lend themselves to that kind of dimensionality."

The No. 1 debut has mitigated some of the sting from fan response to One More Light's more contemporary pop-flavored sound, which at one point caused singer Chester Bennington to lash out at fans. "I don't think any of us said anything to him," Delson says. "I think he's a very passionate person and he cares deeply about the music that we're making, and personally I'm so proud of him and grateful to him for the beauty and the vulnerability and the passion that he put into these performances. I know he, like all of us, is really excited for everyone to hear the album." And possibly even more of it: Delson says Linkin Park worked up some 70 song ideas during the process, and with only 10 on the actual album, there would appear to be a wealth of additional material to tap.
"There's definitely a few gems that we've got in our back pocket," Delson confirms. "But I would say the vast majority of those songs fortunately will never see the light of day. They were just a part of the journey; the ones that were the most satisfying and exciting were the ones we ultimately focused on and finished and make up the album."


…but let me start slowly from the very beginning.
I've arranged the battle trough Polish Warhammer Fantasy Battle forum – Border Princes with Piotrek (he plays Orcs and Goblins). We supposed to play in the beginning of July, but due to some unexpected events we were forced to re-schedule the battle until last Thursday. The battle for 1500 points when I finally will be able to play me second freshly finished Doomwheel and try out how exactly Assassin is making out in battlefield conditions. We played in Bunkier Store, here in Warsaw, where there is nice table available with plenty of terrain pieces.
It was all on purpose. I fled the battle to spare all the fuss with transporting unreliable slaves to the mine. The Council would not be happy with that situation. This is actually way better. Good-good.
The watchtower was in the middle of the battlefield. It was the old hideout of Orcs warband. Skaven happened to surprise the tower unprotected while Orcs were returning from one of the raids.
Skaven army was south of the tower.
Grey Seer Quiksqueek and Battle Standard Bearer have joined unit of Stormvermin (along with hidden Shide the Silent – freshly recruited Clan Eshin Assassin). Warlock Engineer has joined unit of Clanrats.
Orcs started north of the tower.
Orc deployment. Left flank: Rock Lobberand Wolf Riders. In the middle: Spider Chariot, Trolls and Big Uns. Right flank: Wolf Chariot and Wolf Riders.
Orc Warboss Gurokk Skullstompa has joined Trolls. Bannawava Black Orc Big Boss and Goblin Shaman has joind Big Uns'.
Meanwhile both Doomwheels rolled ahead. On the western flank – Old Mark 5. Doomwheel rolled at almost its highest possible speed (I rolled 16 for the move on 3D6!) and new Mk 7. Doomwheel on the east was just a little bit slower.
…but before all of these actions were even planned in Quiksqueek's head – Gurokk Skullstompa ordered two small units of Wolf Riders to proceed with fast vanguard moves. They got very close to the Skaven lines.
Zzapvolt concentrated pure energy from Winds of Magic and converted it into electric charge. Bright Warp Lightning has emerged from his blade and struck two Big Uns' killing them at sight!
Both Doomwheels were about to show power of Clan Skryre as well. First, old Doomwheel shoot the lightnings and killed one of the Wolf Riders, and new one killed 3 Wolf Riders form the eastern unit. In the same moment, barrel in Ratling Gun began to spin faster and faster – and then the crew cried: 'Kill-Kill!' and shoot the series of 7 shoots at western small regiment of Wolf Riders. One was hit and killed. That's was too much for these Greenskins – they panicked and ran away and even proximity of Warboss didn't help to change their mind.
There was the time for CHAAAAARGE! – Gurokk Skullstompa shouted. He wanted to protect the tower and his precious loot inside. The vermin appeared out of nowhere and now they needed to exterminated. Both chariots charged Doomwheels, but in the middle of the battle – trolls hesitated a little seeing Warpfire Thrower in the front of Skaven line, so instead of them Big Uns' were ordered to charge the Warpfire Thrower and Clanrats. Warpfire Thrower stand and shoot, but the flame was too weak to reach running Orks. There must have been scared of green fire burning upon the wind, because they slowed down right before the Warpfire Thrower and they failed to charge.
Meanwhile panicked Wolf Riders rallied and Trolls advanced trough the forest to face the unit of Stormvermin. Second, eastern unit of Goblin Wolf Riders ran around the watchtower and flanked the Clanrats.
Goblin Shaman casted two spells: first was Gork'll Fix It on Stormvermin. The second one were Curse of Da Bad Moon causing magical vortex travelling trough the middle of Clanrats. Lucky for Skaven the not many of them were sucked in into the warp – only 4 Clanrats and Warpfire Thrower died.
Rock Lobber thrown big large rock on the back of Stormvermin unit. The accuracy of Goblin crew was not perfect, so the rock scattered and killed only one Stormvermin, but managed to hit Ratling Gun. The gun crew was smashed and what's was left was the wet bloody puddle.
Ratling Guns smashed by big rock.
Eastern flank: the same here:).
Old Doomwheel rallied and soon it will release another portion of Clan Skryre famous electric power!
Winds of Magic were not generous – they provide not too much power- it was sufficient enough to cast Bless with Filth (making Stormvermin halberds poisonous) and to try to cast Skitterleap. Gobin Shaman dispelled this one. Too bad for the Skaven army and Quiksqueek. Skitterleap was meant to teleport him to better ans more secure location. Anything would be better than those hideous Trolls ahead.
Doomwheels' lightnings were cumulating, but suddenly in both power generators something unexpected and wrong happened! Both malfunctioned!. In first – old Mark 5 model – all the electric charged were directed into the wheel's warp generators. The mechanism was powered with true burst of speed! In second Doomwheel also went something bad with the charge, but in its case – it caused some damage to the machine but thankfully nothing disastrous.
The most important events were about to occur in the middle of the battle, where brave Stormvermin attacked Trolls. Quiksqueek was about face Warboss Gurokk Skullstompa. One of Stormvermin dropped his clothes and armour and took out hiss hidden green glowing blade.
Assassin comes out of the shadows!
Rest of Stormvermin managed to kill only one Troll. In return Trolls killed Raddrish The Last (Battle Standard Bearer), over confident Shide The Silent and one Stormvermin. In spite all the losses, Skaven won the combat (thank to the banner and the slowly rhythmical drum of regiment's musician). Golden Crown of Command on Gurokk's head shined brightly – this magical item were increase his willpower and all Trolls thanks to his influence became too stubborn to even think to flee the combat.
The causalities: Assassin, Battle Standard Bearer and one Stormvermin.
Nearby Slaves forced to flee unit of Wolf Riders and instead of pursuing them, they turn into direction of Trolls.
Gurokk Skullstompa was furious! Rats in front, rats in the flank and rats in his tower! That was enough! All of this is ending right now!
Big Uns' Orcs charged into the tower. The entrances to the tower allowed only to ten Orcs fight against ten Clanrats.
Big Uns' charged the tower.
Chariot on the eastern side fled the battle, and one on the western side charged the Doomwheel again.
Goblin Shaman repeated his magic tricks – first he casted Girk'll Fix It on Clanrats and released The Curse of Da Bad Moon again. Both spells were failed to dispel by Lord Quiksqueek. It was not only Curse of the Bad Moon but also feel like Horned Rat abandoned Quiksqueek! Magical vortex passed trough the tower over the Stormvermin. 7 of these elite warriors were sucked in!
Crse of Da Bad moon strikes again!
Rock Lobber misfired and the throwing mechanism jammed for some time. At least here the threat was stopped for now.
The east side: old mark 5. Doomwheel was charged by chariot and he lost the combat, but again (!) he fled them and stopped near to the edge of the battlefield.
Big Uns' were storming the tower. They killed 8 of defenders and Clanrats killed back only two of big Orcs. Skaven comparing to Orcs are small and weak, so this fight was very uneven. But Zzapvolt hidden in the remaining Skaven warriors shouted: Rats! Steadfast! and surprisingly Clanrats listen and stand firm. Orcs were pushed back. Hurray!
But the most important part of the battle was here. Trolls against Stormvermin. Because of Curse of Da Bad Moon the regiment of Stormvermin were partially wiped out. There was very little chance they will stand against Trolls for a long time. Gurokk Skullstompa called for challenge – and brave Fangleader stepped forward. The fight was fierce – and Fangleader survived, protected by the Horned Rat himself. Skaven God saved him from certain dead (Orc Warboss hit twice and rolled two 1s to wound!). But the grim laugh of Vermin Lord echoed over the battlefield. The Fangleader was saved, but not for long. Trolls killed 3 Stormvermin and that was enough to force all regiment to flee! Trolls with ease caught them. All was lost! Quiksqueek barely escaped death but it was nothing left!
East: Doomwheel is wheeling to the middle, and on the west, old Doomwheel rallied.
Skaven Slaves charging Trolls… wise or stupid…?
Rallied Old Doomwheel released two lightnings and destroyed pursuing Spider Chariot, and during release of the third charge – something went wrong and Warlock Engineer lost control of the steer.
Zzap! The chariot is gone!
Doomwheel turned into the middle, near to the trolls.
… and it's out of control!
New Doomwheel, on the east, also malfunctioned, but this time all the electric power overcharged the generator and destroyed the machine.
Trolls chased and caught Skaven Slaves.
…and the rats in the tower were preparing for another attack of the Big Uns'.
And the attack took place soon enough! Orcs charged the tower one more time! At the same time Trolls faced direction to the tower.
The combat was one sided – 7 Clanrats died. And only few were to scared to protect the loot inside. Even Zzapvolt decided it's better to retreat… The battle for watchtower was lost.
well, I realize my army is not specially competitive. Way too small regiments of Slaves and Clanrats to even stand and fight against Trolls or Orcs (tough bastards!), but still I have so much fun, despite the defeat.
Assassins could make lots of damage. My rolls were not good though, and this Troll regeneration is annoying. I will give Shide The Silent more chances though.
My rolls were statistical all right during whole battle, but I had no luck in two very important moments: dispelling (twice!) Curse of Da Bad Moon which killed 10 Stormvermin and Ratling Gun! Damn! I don't have so much luck with magic in my last four battles. It has to change – spells supposed to be my greatest advantage.
I should operate Doomwheels more efficiently. In this battle they have been stuck with those annoying chariots. Next time – I need better planning for them.
I would love to change my army list, but still I don't have enough painted miniatures to make any significant change – slowly I'd be able to rebuild my army, and I'll push the plot in different direction. For the time being, Grey Seer Quiksqueek will be raised form the dead again and his struggle to please The Council of Thirteen will go on:).
Plans: I already arranged the re-match with Piotrek and his Orcs and Goblins for September, but this time his army will include more Goblins. So maybe this time I'll manage to win the battle and deliver new slaves to the mines? Hopefully:). And meantime on my workbench: Blood Angels Terminators, Infinity Reverend Custodier and Screaming Bell. And beside that I've started to arrange my collection in order to choose some part of it to take to my next big trip (Australia, New Zealand and Asia) – and with this – there's plenty of work…ufff..


The Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks have revealed that 84% of first time buyers in the under-thirties age band need financial support from their parents. In 2005 this figure was just 38% according to a report by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).
The CML reported in January 2011 that just under half (47%) of first time buyer purchased properties were subject to a joint income.
All very well, but there still remains the issue of raising a deposit. Even the lowest deposit mortgages call for a down payment that can stretch borrowers to the limit, and with finances being stretched so far with a lack of pay increases and such a hike in the cost of living, people will be wondering how on earth they will get a foot on the property ladder.
Hence such a high percentage asking for financial help from parents. But how will those parents help if they too face the same cost of living issues?
Those aged over 55 who own a property could release equity to help their children onto the property ladder. Over the years, property prices have increased such that many homeowners are now in a position to make use of the equity they have built up. The cash released can be used for anything and an equity release plan comes with safeguards such as never losing the home or owing more than it is worth, providing they are Safe Home Income Plans (SHIP) endorsed.
Many parents are more than happy to help their children with an 'early inheritance' and see them onto the property ladder using equity release plans. Take specialist advice to make sure it is the right course of action for you.
Equity release may involve a lifetime mortgage or home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks, please ask for a personalised illustration.
Bower Retirement Services is an FSA regulated independent financial advice company that offers specialist advice on equity release throughout the UK. For more information e-mail info@brsequity.co.uk or call 0800 4118668. Bower Retirement Services offers a no obligation initial consultation to homeowners considering Equity Release.

Ubank offers customer $100 compensation – with a catch
A customer who recently raised issues about poor service at NAB's digital offshoot ubank has been offered $100 in compensation, but only if they agree not take further action "in any forum" regarding the complaint and keep the settlement confidential.
A letter sent to a ubank customer last week, seen by this masthead, shows the lender offering $100 as a "gesture of goodwill" after the person complained to the bank and the Australian Financial Complaints Authority that they had struggled to access their accounts for weeks in the lead-up to Christmas.
Customers have flooded ubank's social media pages in recent months with complaints about issues with access to the app and long wait times on its helpline.
The digital bank, which has no physical branches but operates under NAB's licence, bought neobank 86 400 in January last year in a $220 million deal. However, an "upgrade" process being undertaken as it completes the merger has led to a number of issues, sparking complaints from frustrated customers.
In the letter, ubank said the issues the customer faced "may have caused… significant stress and inconvenience", and while they could not undo what had occurred, they would like to extend the offer of $100 compensation.
However, to accept the offer, the bank said the customer would need to accept a "resolution agreement". This included an agreement to "take no further action in any forum regarding matters arising out of, or in relation to, the complaint" and to "keep the terms of this settlement strictly confidential and will not disclose to any third party unless required by law".
The customer said they would not be accepting the $100 payment.
"It felt like an insult," said the customer, who did not want to use their name to protect their privacy. "It doesn't match the hours I spent and the lost time on the phone trying to get someone to pick up."
As part of the integration with 86 400, ubank has been migrating all its accounts in phases, meaning customers have received new BSB, account numbers and debit cards, and they have been told to download and use a new banking app.
Customers have reported problems logging into the app and accessing their accounts after they were "upgraded", and their frustration has been exacerbated by hours-long wait times on its customer service line.
A ubank spokeswoman said they could not comment on an individual customer's case and refused to say whether any other affected customers had been offered compensation following issues with the merger.
She said ubank works with customers to find resolutions to any concerns they've raised and assess these on an individual basis.
"We aim to resolve the matter to the customer's satisfaction, however, in some instances this is not always the case, and we encourage customers to continue the conversation with us," she said.
She said that the bank had bolstered the customer support team after experiencing a higher-than-usual volume of calls, and would continue to add resources.
The customer who received the compensation offer last week began having issues when they downloaded the new ubank app in mid-November and their debit card no longer worked. When they received a new card, they were unable to activate it despite following the instructions.
Without access to their money in the lead-up to Christmas, they tried calling ubank's helpline but waited on hold for more than an hour each time.
After they made a complaint to Australian Financial Complaints Authority, ubank contacted the customer and helped them activate another new card. When the customer was able to make payments again, the bank asked whether the complaint had been resolved and they said yes.
The letter received last week said that by accepting the compensation, the customer confirmed the complaint had been resolved, and said a copy of the letter had also been sent to the authority.
Before the debacle, the customer said they had no problems with ubank.
"I actually thought they were fairly good as a bank," they said. "The recent thing about downloading this app caused such a shemozzle, and you should be able to talk to someone within an hour and half."
This masthead first reported issues at ubank in November. A number of customers said they had moved banks after the frustrating and concerning "upgrade" process.
Many said they had made complaints to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. An authority spokesman said they were unable to say how many complaints had been lodged recently as it could not separate the number of complaints raised about ubank from its parent company NAB.

Concert Review: Paul McCartney
Posted On: 29 Oct 2014 - 4:18pm
By Brent Owen
There's a moment when you're standing in a packed arena, thirty feet away from Paul McCartney, who just so happens to be in the middle of performing The Beatles classic "Eight Days A Week"; and you realize that words like "legendary" and "iconic" seem like impotent adjectives for describing what's it like to be in the presence of a Beatle. You can't help but think: I am in the room with one of the hands that penned the most valuable songbook of certainly the 20th century, if not in the history of mankind.
McCartney who is 72 now, is as spry and charming as he has ever been when it comes to being in front of a crowd, and last night (his first show in Louisville) was no exception. His surprisingly small band (only five people including him), have managed to perfectly consolidate the arrangements of even the most complex arrangements in McCartney's catalog, flawlessy. Songs like "Eleanor Rigby", "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite", and "Band on the Run" are not lacking even the slightest nuance when in the hands of these players.
On the whole, the show was nearly 40 songs and three hours long, while remaining primarily a love letter to the fans (he even brought a mother and daughter from the audience on-stage for hugs). From opening with "Eight Days a Week" to closing with Abbey Road's "The End" – the set featured everything you would want to hear and more from a man with a 50 year career. "Hey Jude", "Live and Let Die", "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Let It Be", "Helter Skelter", "Lady Madonna" – the setlist of crowd favorites goes on and on.
Fronting the tight band McCartney was in good spirits – and generally sounded fabulous. A voice with 50 years of wear and tear on it, he slipped out of tune here and there (generally when he attempted a bluesy adlib breakdown), but for the most part he sounded like the same harmoniously melodic McCartney (perhaps and octave or two lower) that we fell in love with decades ago.
Here is the complete setlist from last night's show at KFC Yum! Center:
Listen to What the Man Said
Let Me Roll It
Nineteen-Hundred and Eighty-Five
Maybe I'm Amazed
I've Just Seen a Face
Here Today
Queenie Eye
Everybody Out There
Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Band on the Run
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Golden Slumbers
KFC Yum Center
About Brent Owen
Born and raised in Louisville, I have lived here most of my life (except during a short furlough, when I, lovelorn and naive, followed a girl to Baton Rouge). My roots are here, my family, my friends, and my life are all here. I work primarily as a free-lance writer for a few local and regional publications. I have also written two books (one a memoir, the other a novel) that barring some divine intervention, will probably never see the light of day. I find myself deeply ingrained in the local bar scene, or perhaps better said, I often indulge in the local drinking culture. I love music, movies, comedy, and really just about any other live performance art.

Елісед ап Гвілог (, бл. 695 — бл. 755) — король Повіса (близько 710 — близько 755).

Елісед успадковував престол Повіса близько 710 року, ставши наступником свого батька Гвілога ап Белі. У перші роки його правління столицею Повіса був місто Дін-Бран, а в 717 році столицею стало місто Матравал.

Еліседу вдалося відвоювати у Мерсії східну частину Повіса. Кінг ап Каделл, правнук Еліседа, спорудив на честь прадіда кам'яний хрест з описом його заслуг. Зараз цей хрест, відомий як «Стовп Елісега», знаходиться недалеко від абатства Валле-Крукіс (поблизу міста Лланголлен).

Елісед помер близько 755 року. Трон успадковував його син Брохвайл ап Елісед.

Redesigning your website on WordPress, Drupal, Shopify, Square or other platforms means getting more than a new look. It's about having a CMS platform running on one of the most flexible, powerful, and smart ways to publish content online. Let's walk through the process to get you started with your website redesign project.
When you are thinking about redesigning your current website you need to consider all the elements. It's more than just a beautiful new look.
It's about the customer experience (CX) and the user interface (UI). It's about generating more traffic, getting more leads, and ultimately more sales. You want a website that gives your visitors what they are looking for when they want it.
Begin by taking a step back and looking at the larger picture. What is it that you want to achieve? A great plan will make for a smooth process along the way.
Draft a blueprint for redesigning your website. An effective redesign is about the customer experience (CX) and your new look; but it is also about driving more visitors, leads, and customers. This worksheet will help you with your goals for your website redesign.
Before you begin your website redesign project, you must decide what your budget will be. Think about how much time it will take and what resources you will need to get the project completed. Use this guide to help you.

Why Use WordPress CMS Platform?
WordPress CMS platform running on one of the most flexible, powerful, and smart ways to publish content online is by using WordPress software powered by the Genesis framework. Genesis is Search Engine Optimized (State-of-the-art code and smart design architecture mean search engines see your content) with State-of-the-Art, airtight security.
With responsive design, your mobile visitors will return to your website that fit right on their device and is easy to read. That means you need a mobile experience that's easy to use — The WordPress Platform does that right out-of-the-box.
Launching your website live is one thing. But keeping it live, and free from hacks and malware, and protected from DDoS attacks, and off blacklists … well that's quite another thing.
The first step in considering website security is to determine what your host already includes. There is no reason to double-pay for the same coverage. The next step is to assess where your host isn't covering you, and ensuring that you have the coverage you need for peace of mind. It's one thing to have daily malware scans on your site; it's quite another to have a security firm on retainer to respond and remove malware within four hours.
Search Engine Optimization is critical for your users to find you. Genesis is Search Engine Optimized (State-of-the-art code and smart design architecture mean search engines see your content). It flags poor SEO practices. No meta description? Not enough keywords (keyword density)? We'll let you know so your page's performance is running at its best.
We've been recommending the Genesis Framework by StudioPress for over 10 years, and we're not about to stop. StudioPress and the Genesis Framework powers more than 500,000 websites.
Genesis is built on clean, efficient, rock-solid code, and the developers at StudioPress have built an impressive and versatile portfolio of child themes to lay on top of the framework.
– Cliff Pulis, president of Profitware.
Maybe you don't need to write an RFP after all. Give us a call at 303-725-5759 to discuss your new website requirements. We can talk you through the process. If writing an RFP is definitely in the cards for you send us your RFP to info @ matrixmarketinggroup.com.
