Q: ALSA latency measurement I want to measure latency between capture frame and playback frames.
I have a system in which i am capturing the data from mic and putting it on spi and further to RF, same at receiver side capturing data via RF to spi and then speaker. I am getting approximately 2 sec delay. I have checked with the RF hardware, everything is clear. Is there any application or any logic through which i can measure the latency using whole system? The latency tool which is given by alsa is for loopback only, I mean in processor itself only. But I want to measure with SPI or RF loopback.

I created the recipe for Baked Zucchini-Feta Fritters based on the Heartfelt, Healthy Food! theme from FolioFocus Summer 2018. The fritters are baked, so they have much less fat than if they were fried. The feta complements the wonderful fresh zucchini taste. These are wonderful for lunch, either alone or paired with salsa, tzatziki sauce, or a small bowl of your favorite soup.
Created as part of the Folio Focus course with Rise Design and Shine, this fruit cooler has seen me through an unusually hot summer here in the UK. This is my favourite fruit combo but it can be made with any selection of fruit you fancy.

A Chinese Company, Huawei Reportedly Working on its Own Operating System Kirin. The OS will reduce its dependence on Android. It will also run on devices with the new chip of its own production company. Moreover, the company is also preparing to enter the US market to target US audience.
Huawei's recently-hired ex-Apple mobile UI designer, Abigail Brody, to make its smartphone software look less like Apple's. Huawei wants the UI to be more user friendly for US consumers. And Also incorporated the advanced features that its customers love overseas. Ms. Brody is expected to introduce features that look like those found on most Android phones, but with Huawei's own flair.
Most probably Huawei is developing its own OS just to be on the safe side. For example, if Google stops providing support of Android for third-party devices or if companies' freedom with Android is restricted by Google.
Huawei Technologies is tremendously capturing the market and poses a threat to the other technology manufacturers. In 2016, the anticipated smart phone shipment is 120 million units as compared to more or less 108 million units last year.

02/09/2015 - With contract negotiations set to begin on Feb. 19, APWU members across the country are busy preparing.
02/09/2015 - APWU members are invited to join President Mark Dimondstein for a live Town Hall Conference Call on Feb. 17, to discuss our fight to win a good contract for union members while we fight for a vibrant, public Postal Service for the people of the country. Negotiations begin on Feb. 19. To participate, you must register online by Feb. 16.
Postal workers across the country cheered the announcement on Nov. 14 that Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe is stepping down, effective Feb. 1. "We hope that the next Postmaster General will reverse Donahoe's policies of lowering standards, reducing hours, outsourcing work, and diminishing a great American institution," President Mark Dimondstein said. "We call on USPS' Board of Governors to immediately freeze Donahoe's policies and to do no more harm." Delegates to the APWU national convention in July had voted unanimously to seek his resignation.
11/15/2014 - Updated 11/19/2014 - The Nov. 14 National Day of Action to send a message to the Postmaster General and the USPS Board of Governors to Stop Delaying America's Mail! generated extensive media coverage. The events were sponsored by the four postal unions: the American Postal Workers Union, the National Association of Letter Carriers, the National Postal Mail Handlers Union and the National Rural Letter Carriers Association.
Visit our Facebook page for photos and more.
11/05/2014 - We regret to inform you that Greg See, Assistant Director of the Maintenance Division, passed away on Nov. 4. He was a member of the Mansfield (OH) Area Local, where he previously served as president.
06/30/2014 - The APWU today denounced plans by the Postal Service to resume the closure and consolidation of up to 82 mail processing plants beginning in January 2015.
"This is a direct assault on service to the people of the country, on postal workers and on the Postal Service's own network," said union President Mark Dimondstein. The closure of the plants will require the USPS to degrade service standards and delay mail.
05/28/2014 - A May 28 agreement between the APWU and USPS [PDF] establishes a new Customer Care Center (CCC) in Wichita KS.
The new CCC will be located at the Remote Encoding Center (REC) site, which is scheduled to close no later than November 14.

Det Danske Kulturinstitut (Dänisches Kulturinstitut) ist das Institut zur Förderung und Verbreitung der dänischen Sprache und Kultur.

Geschichte
Das Dänische Kulturinstitut ging 1989 aus der 1940 von Folmer Wisti gegründeten Danske Selskab (Dänischen Gesellschaft) hervor, die sich noch vor dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs den Wiederaufbau der kulturellen Beziehungen zwischen Dänemark und dem Ausland zum Ziel gesetzt hatte. Der Hauptsitz des Dänischen Kulturinstituts ist Kopenhagen.

Seit dem 22. Juni 2005 untersteht das Institut der Schirmherrschaft der Kronprinzessin Mary Donaldson, der Gattin des dänischen Thronfolgers Frederik.

Aufgaben
Das dänische Kulturinstitut ist eine selbstständige öffentlich-rechtliche Einrichtung, die dem dänischen Kulturministerium untersteht. Seine Aufgabe ist der kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Austausch zwischen Dänemark und dem Ausland. Dazu werden künstlerische, literarische oder musikalische Veranstaltungen angeboten, Seminare und Konferenzen im In- und Ausland veranstaltet und Austausche organisiert. Darüber hinaus bietet das Kulturinstitut Dänischkurse an.

Standorte
Das erste Institut in Deutschland wurde Anfang der 1960er Jahre als "Dänisches Institut für Information und kulturellen Austausch" in Dortmund gegründet. Nachdem das Institut von 1996 bis 2002 in Hannover angesiedelt war, wurde es zum Jahreswechsel 2002/2003 wieder nach Nordrhein-Westfalen verlegt und am 23. März 2003 von Prinzessin Benedikte in Bonn offiziell eröffnet. Mit Ablauf des Jahres 2011 hat es seine Arbeit eingestellt.

Es gibt außerdem Institute in Belgien (Brüssel), Lettland (Riga), Polen (Warschau), Russland (Sankt Petersburg), China (Peking), Indien (Neu-Delhi) und Brasilien (Rio de Janeiro).

When it comes to taking notes the old fashioned way on a computer, you would normally open Notepad or Microsoft Word and write your document. Afterwards, you save your document and have it available on your desktop. The issue is that you might have a desktop, a laptop, a work computer, and a smartphone, and now you need to access that document. You happen to be at work and not home, so the document is on your computer at home, and you have no way to access it.
You could use plenty of websites that store your information in the cloud, such as Google Drive or One Drive, and you could definitely be fine, but what if you wanted others to see that document? You would have to give them permission to view, wait until they accept permission to access your file, and if they don't already have a Gmail account, there are extra steps required.
With MyPost, simply start on the homepage of MyPost, click on Create a Post Today! and start writing your post! Then share the link with your friends! It is really that easy. Best of all, so you don't lose your post, at the bottom of your post is a link to save it! After you save your post, you can access it later on through the homepage by clicking on SAVED, and using the email you saved your post with to see a list of all your saved posts! It is very helpful in situations where you have a meeting and need quick access to write and read your notes or document. Feel free to use MyPost to get the job done for you!
MyPost is useful in many ways from taking notes, displaying a presentation, sharing information with others, writing a blog post, and much more, and being able to simply access it no matter where you are, no matter what device you are on, so long as you have an Internet connection, you can access your post! Best of all, until you share the link with others, it is completely private! Search engines cannot discover it and you can even discourage search engines from finding it completely if you wish for it to never be seen by the eyes of the Internet. Your post is for your eyes only until you share it!
You can even create a Grocery list and bring it up later on at the store! Get more creative and start a leveled list of several items! If you prefer to have a list of items that are across from each other, try an inline list! Want to be even more creative? How about creating a list on a clipboard!
Why forget where you stored your notes? Why force others to have to request permission to view a file you are trying to show them? Simply share the link with them and they will have it! If you want to go a step further and have them make changes to the document, feel free to share your password with them! You can always change it later on when you no longer want other people accessing your post. When it comes to writing anything down, think of MyPost! It is easy to use and quick access to your notes!

Michelle Cerrone focuses on the role of educational technologies and digital games in supporting student learning and teacher professional development. She specializes in research methods, survey development, and statistical analysis, which she applies across a range of evaluation, research, and development projects. Her most recent work examines the design of effective tools for educators and learners to promote progressive teaching and learning of STEM in pre-K through middle school settings.
Cerrone serves as the methodologist for Playing With Data, a three-year, National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project to support middle-grades science teachers in developing data literacy and interpreting and using game-based formative assessment data to enhance student learning. She is also a researcher on Bringing Science Home with PEEP, an NSF-funded project using Design Based Implementation Research (DBIR) to identify new avenues to bring early science experience to preschool children (ages 3-5), particularly those living in communities with few resources.
Cerrone's previous projects explored the successes and challenges of facilitating and participating in online communities of practice. She also was part of the Eliciting Math Misconceptions (EM2) project, an IES-funded measurement development project that designed a diagnostic assessment system to help teachers identify student misconceptions around rational numbers.
The co-author of several articles on professional development and instrument development, including "Constructing Online Communities of Practice" and "Recruiting Research Participants via Twitter (or Social Media)," Cerrone regularly presents her findings at the annual conferences of national organizations such as the International Society for Technology in Education and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Before joining EDC, Cerrone worked as an analyst for Success Academy Charter Schools in New York City, where she designed assessments and analyzed student, classroom, and school-level data. She began her career in education teaching English as a Second Language in the Slovak Republic, Spain, and New York.

Q: Update/insert DataGridView which is bound to List instead of DataTable? How to get these edited/updated rows of a DataGridView which is bound to List<T> instead of a DataTable?
Also the last new row (the one with a "*") is gone if a DataGridView is bound to DataTable?
Does it have to use DataTable when building a editable DataGridView?

A: The quick solution is to use a BindingList<T> instead of a List<T>.
That will allow you to add rows to your collection.
Longer term you will want to consider extending the BindingList, since the out of the box BindingList does not support sorting and other nice things.


I like gleaming surfaces.: Newsflash!
This is a most 'sure' sign of impending spring!!
as we have yet to get the feeder up and running!
(I rather randomly chose some photos from the archives.
I'm excited, as you can tell.
they live a dramatic lifestyle!
Oh, that's so exciting! I love when we see the return of our feathered friends! The hummingbirds don't show up here until June or July...they love the bee balm and dart in and out and ignore the hummingbird feeder completely.
We have snow showers in the forecast after two mild days. Ugh! Old Man Winter has an amazing grip this year!
Yes Talon, he sure does! Looking forward to tennis, myself!
Wonderful photos. I love hummingbirds - I have hummingbird license plate they have Georgia, mainly as a tribute to my mom and dad, who loved them so.
I have a dandy feeder and think I might put it out this year.
Sorry to be late here!
Love the hummingbirds!!! We have about 6-8 different varieties here in So Cal.


Gaga Ball pits are springing up on school playgrounds across the country. It's become a recess favorite, but many adults are still unfamiliar with the game. Although it seems new, Gaga Ball's origins can be traced back to the 1970s, when a teen counselor at Camp Milldale in Maryland created a makeshift dodgeball pit. Steven Steinberg – then just 17 years old – placed benches on their sides to keep the balls from rolling away. Campers loved the game, and it was eventually replicated at other summer camps along the east coast.
The rules of Gaga Ball are very similar to dodgeball. All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit. When the referee throws the ball into the pit, the players scream 'Ga' for the first two bounces, and 'Go' on the third bounce, after which the ball is in action. Players can hit the ball with an open or closed hand. If a ball touches a player below the knee he or she is out and leaves the pit. Players hit above the knee remain in the game. The last player standing is the winner of that round. There are several variations of the game, and many schools have created their own Gaga Ball rules.
Gaga Ball has come a long way from its makeshift beginnings. You can now purchase modular kits to build your own pit. Instead of wood, the panels are constructed of weatherproof PVC plastic to withstand sun, water and temperature fluctuations.
Ready to bring Gaga Ball to your playground? Check out our new line of Gaga Ball pits from Action Play Systems.

Present: Anna Crissman, Bruce Dover, Sam Fouse, John Lindquist, Heather Powers, Chris Schimmel, Mark Senior, and James Shanks, attended in person; and via conference call, Heather Clark, Eric Danielsen, Nikki Edwards, Jeff Eng, Al Heatwole, Morgan Mehler, Ben Tyler, and Kit Williams. Rex Deffenbaugh did not attend.
The NCR BoD meeting was called to order by RE Sam Fouse at 7:31 PM, on Wednesday, October 16th 2019, at the Steel Spatula Burger Company, formerly Piper's Deli, 3219 Old Chapel Hill Road, Durham, NC,
John Lindquist and Chris Schimmel attended as guests in person. Eric Danielsen, Jeff Eng, and Ben Tyler attended as guests via telephone.
Motion to approve the September minutes, as posted on the Google drive (Shanks / Crissman). Passed.
Year-to-Date Financial Review. Sam said he had not had time to prepare a document to share with us, but that his preliminary review showed that while we had made about $88K on the Majors, we lost about $20K on other activities, such as the June Time Trial, the August Test Day, and the Annual Dinner. He promised to e-mail all the Board members a spreadsheet when it was completed.
Runoffs Debrief. Sam started the discussion by saying that we spent more than the National Office paid us for our equipment and services. They paid about $6K and we spent about $8K. The rooms at the Lodge were expensive but they were shared among 9 people, not all at the same time, and the NC Region party, which was held in conjunction with the three other parties in Wednesday night's "Block Party", was judged by many to have the best food. And we owe Stephen Miller a real debt of gratitude for the awesome job he did preparing and cooking that food. We also had to buy some hardware for the trams and a pair of walkie-talkies to make the corner worker shuttles work, and our fuel costs were higher than expected, since we had two trucks. The "coffee and sweet rolls" breakfast that Mark Senior prepared on the three race days costs us about $300, which also was not in the original budget. But in the end, it was all worth it. NC Region's reputation was greatly enhanced even though it was not our event. Sam also thanked the shuttle drivers for their service. The National Office, he noted, also lost money, since the final car count was only 594, a couple hundred less than they had expected.
Treasurer Heather Powers reported that we have about $165K in the bank, with $123K in our money market (savings) account and $42K in the checking account. Other than the big deposit due to VIR when we sign the contract for next year, which may run about $35K, the only anticipated expenditures are for the Time Trial at NCCAR, for which the deposit has already been paid, and the few worker credits owed to people who opted to take their reimbursement in a lump sum at the end of the year. Solo, Heather noted, has just under $12K in the bank.
NCR SCCA Scholarship Program. John Lindquist made a lengthy proposal about the Region establishing a college scholarship program. In essence, the Region would commit to establishing one or more small scholarships, of perhaps $500 each, to be given to graduating high school seniors with an interest in things automotive, especially competition. A committee would be established to review applications by these students and make the awards. In order to keep the number of applicants down to a reasonable size, the committee would choose just four high schools per year to participate. The benefit to the Region and the Club is that we would be seen by many more people within the geographic area that comprises NCR, and we would have a new way to reach out to the SCCA's target demographic for the future, 19-year-olds, as well as to the public at large. We would be listed on the school's list of available scholarships for all to see and we would be invited to be part the public ceremony in which these scholarships are awarded. John pointed out that this program would not be that expensive and that we could solicit donations from prep shops and other business partners. Sam immediately suggested that we talk to Jerry Pell about the possibility of setting up a separate NCR Foundation as a 501c3 'charity', which would allow donations to be tax-deductible, rather than going through the region's books, where donations would be non-deductible as a 501c4 'non-profit'. John agreed to ask Jerry about that. John circulated some documents for those present to see, including a sample application, and sample letters to the schools and the applicants, explaining the program. Since this was a lot to digest, the issue was tabled until next month. Anna started an e-mail thread for Board members to use for discussion and Bruce agreed to circulate PDF copies of John's documents.
TT Report: November TT at NCCAR. Bruce has sent out another e-mail ad reminding everyone of our upcoming Time Trial (November 9-10) at NCCAR, but he says that we have only 8 drivers and three workers signed up so far. Sam said he had contacted Sam True at the facility asking about the progress in obtaining the water-filled barriers needed for "dual rotation" (the ability to run the track in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions). Mr. True has located some, probably not enough, but is having difficulty getting them transported to the track. Even after he does, Sam Fouse, noted, we would still need someone from the SCCA National Office to give final approval to the layout. Sam also noted that it is too late to cancel this event and get our deposit back. Kit Williams added that he had spoken to Blair Deffenbaugh at the Runoffs about running an ad campaign on social media and that Blair said he would need $200 for that. Motion to approve $200 for a social media ad campaign to promote the November Time Trial event (Crissman / Senior). Passed.
New Trailer for Hospitality. James brought up the fact that we seemed to have outgrown our legacy 5X8 single-axle trailer that we use to transport and store items for Hospitality and Driver Info. He said that the one they used at the Runoffs for Driver Info, which was much larger, turns out to be surprisingly cheap. It was a dual-axle, 8.5 X 16, unit from Pro-Line, with two flip-up vendor windows, a passage door on the other side, barn doors on the end, and lights inside, all for about $6800. Such a unit would guarantee that the printer and results would be out of the weather and that our tee-shirt displays would stay dry. We could still use the tent as an expanded area for distribution of items, just as Driver Information at the Runoffs used the Pavilion. The Board took this under advisement and suggested that James investigate other vendors before making a motion to purchase a new trailer.
Adding a Classified Section to the NCR Website. Mark Senior had asked Bruce about the possibility of adding a Classified ad section to our website and Bruce had invited Jeff Eng, our webmaster, to be on the call to discuss this and other web-related items. Jeff said that a plug-in for WordPress was available to provide such a service, but that someone would have to manage it, receiving the ad submissions, making sure they were appropriate, posting them, and taking them down when the item was sold or time expired. It was agreed that Bruce is the logical candidate to handle that. Jeff also wants to move our server to a more secure site, but no time frame or cost was agreed to for this.
Election of Officers to the Board of Directors. The terms of office for the RE, the Secretary, and two Members-at-Large (Morgan Mehler and Heather Clark) are expiring at the end of this year. Nominations for candidates to fill those positions are due in the current Secretary's hands at the close of the November Board Meeting. Nominations must be in writing, signed by the candidate, and three other members of NCR "in good standing". Balloting will be electronic via MSR as it was last year and will commence the first week in December and end on December 31st. Chapter Coordinators were asked to solicit nominations at their November Chapter meetings.
2020 Schedule. Bruce offered to put entries into MSR for each of our racing events next year, even though the details have yet to be determined, in order that we could be put on everyone's calendar. He hopes to have this done by the end of December. Anna said she hoped to have preliminary Supps in January. These are the dates we have at VIR:
March 14-15 "March Into Spring"
April 10-12 "Spring Sprints" Super Tour Majors
May 9-10 SARRC / MARRS Challenge"
October 10-11 "Goblins Go"
Chapter and Committee Reports: As of this writing, there were no Chapter or Committee reports for September 2019 posted on the Google drive.
Motion to adjourn at 9:09 PM (Shanks / Senior). Passed.


GoPro action camera drying on deck after being deployed at sea to film marine wildlife.
Letessier TB, Juhel JB, Vigliola L, Meeuwig JJ. 2015. Low cost GoPro cameras generates accurate underwater stereo measurements of fish. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 466: 120-126.
Small action cameras arranged in a stereo configuration generated accurate measurements of fish body lengths at less than 5 m distance and 25° angle.
Action cameras were slightly less accurate than handheld cameras in an enclosed pool environment but no difference was observed in situ.
Small action cameras provide cheap and sufficiently accurate measurements of fish when compared to handheld cameras.
Small action cameras have received interest for use in underwater videography because of their low-cost, standardised housing, widespread availability and small size. Here, we assess the capacity of GoPro action cameras to provide accurate stereo-measurements of fish in comparison to the Sony handheld cameras that have traditionally been used for this purpose. Standardised stereo-GoPro and Sony systems were employed to capture measurements of known-length targets in a pool to explore the influence of the type of camera, distance to camera rig, angle to the optical axis and target speed on measurement accuracy.
The capacity to estimate fish length in situ was also compared by measuring the same fish on a coral reef with two baited remote underwater video systems, each fitted with both a GoPro and a Sony camera system. Pool trials indicated that the GoPros were generally less accurate than the Sonys. Accuracy decreased with increased angles and distance for both systems but remained reasonably low (< 7.5%) at 5 m distance and 25° angle for GoPros. Speed of target movement did not result in any consistent decrease in accuracy. In situ measurements revealed a strong correlation (R2 = 0.94) between Sony and GoPro length measurements of the same individual fish, with a slope not different from 1 and an intercept not different from 0, suggesting that GoPro measurement errors do not result in a consistent bias at the level of individual fish. Moreover, the investigation of kernel density functions of the length distribution of the entire fish assemblage indicated that difference in measurement accuracy becomes negligible for purposes of comparing population size structure. We suggest a measurement protocol for the use of GoPro stereo-camera systems that improves accuracy, where distance to target is limited to 5 m and angle to optical axis is restricted to 25°. For distances up to 7 m, angles should be restricted to 15°. This protocol supports the use of small action cameras such as the GoPro system, providing reductions in cost and increases in effective sampling efforts, compared with traditional rigs based on relatively expensive handheld cameras.
A fleet of pelagic baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVS) ready for deployment. Each unit is fitted with GoPro cameras mounted at two different angles. By combining both video clips, researchers can estimate the size (body length) of wildlife species with a high level of accuracy.

How to buy BTC/ETH via bank account?
If there is one word that has created so much buzz over the past one year, it is Bitcoin. The rise in the price of Bitcoin towards the end of last year has led to more people knowing about cryptocurrencies, for instance, the Bank of Canada recently reported that 85% of Canadians are now aware of Bitcoin. And not only Canadians of course, dozens of countries all over the globe recording increase in cryptocurrency awareness. As cryptocurrency becomes more familiar, people tend to invest and trade in cryptocurrencies more. Lots of folks now want to convert their money in digital currencies like Bitcoin or Ether but don't know where to start. This article will help to get a step-by-step guide on how to buy crypto via bank account.
Purchasing cryptocurrencies using fiat continue to be challenging for crypto buyers. The simplest way to buy crypto was to purchase it via a debit card. But recently credit card companies Visa and Mastercard have made it harder for traders and investors to purchase cryptocurrencies due to the extra fees. Now an additional 5% fee is applicable when buying bitcoins or any other cryptocurrency with a credit card. With a usual credit card payment processing fee of typical 4% for crypto exchanges that result in a total 10% commission for a cryptocurrency investment. Which is already too much.
Besides that, it is still critical that credit cards have limits for daily or monthly spend operations. That makes it harder to make an appropriate one-time investment in digital assets using only a credit card to buy crypto. That's where bank accounts can help. With no additional % commision and no limits, a user can invest in digital currencies with up to 10% lower cost and buy them via one single transaction. You can now even buy bitcoins with SEPA transfer instantly.
Techcrunch on Visa and Mastercard strict to crypto policies.
There are numerous ways to buy Bitcoin with a personal bank account, but WHERE to buy BTC with a bank account is a significant problem for lots of people because most of the banks are not friendly to new digital assets. You might often hear about phenomena called "bank rage" or "bank anger against cryptocurrencies". That's when banks refuse entirely to send or receive any transfer related to crypto exchange. So you might want to consider buying BTC via crypto exchange because that might be not that easy to withdraw crypto to a bank. Crypto exchanges are the first places to look when you want to purchase BTC with a wire transfer as a payment method.
Coinbase is the most popular cryptocurrency exchange when it comes to purchasing Bitcoin using a bank account. You can also use GDAX, Kraken and other exchanges.
How to Purchase Bitcoins with Bank Transfer via Coinbase.
You need to register an account and verify your email and phone number.
Pass verification process that involves ID verification, uploads of documents to confirmation of your payment address and identity.
The verification process may last for up to 7 days.
Once the verification process is over, you will need to link your bank account to a crypto exchange. That may last for 1-2 days.
Once you ready to go – login to your account and proceed to buy BTC.
The bank account payment option is SEPA, which is standard in the EU.
Enter the required field after confirming your buy request and click on Buy BTC after that.
Purchases made with SEPA take 5 days for the Bitcoin to be delivered. So the actual rate can be different of what was on the day the order was placed. Also, in times of huge market moves, an exchange can be overloaded with orders, and it might take additional days for your order to pass through the long queue.
Step-by-step Instruction on How to Buy Bitcoin with Bank Transfer via Cryptoexchange.
Create an account and verify email and phone number.
Pass the Identity verification process (up to 7 days).
Locate the "buy Bitcoin" button or tab and select bank transfer as a payment method. It could be SWIFT, SEPA, Wire or any other method you see available on the site.

Using the method listed above, you can buy BTC with bank transfer from any of the listed crypto exchanges. So, a whole overall process for purchase Bitcoins through Coinbase or any other Bitcoin exchange can take up to 15 days.
You can buy Bitcoin from LocalBitcoin. This is a P2P cryptocurrency exchange platform that allows you to meet buyer and sellers in your country. Instead of purchasing Bitcoin or Ethereum from major cryptocurrency exchanges, you can decide to make use of this platform and send cash to the seller in exchange for BTC or ETH. You can also send your cryptocurrencies on this platform.

Select the amount of BTC and place an order.
You will receive the seller's account number.
Transfer the funds into the seller's account.
Finally, receive bitcoins in your LocalBitcoins wallet once the seller confirms the transfer of funds.
The catch is that any fiat transaction can be charged back but not Bitcoins. That works as a huge reason for the scam for all P2P cryptocurrency exchanges.

The first and leading cryptocurrency in the world is Bitcoin (BTC). The first and most popular digital currency was invented by a developer or a group of developers with pseudo-name Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin was designed in 2008 following the global financial meltdown with the aim of taking control away from central government and banks and handing them over to the people. The cryptocurrency has evolved and is now the leading cryptocurrency, trading above $6,000 per coin.
Ethereum (ETH) ranks second behind Bitcoin regarding market capitalisation and is the leader when it comes to smart contracts and DApps. It is a platform that supports decentralised applications and smart contracts and is the primary platform for ICOs.
The third and fourth largest cryptocurrencies are Ripple (XRP) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Ripple was developed to ensure that cross-border transactions are made more accessible while Bitcoin Cash is the hardfork of Bitcoin and is slowly working towards adoption as a payment option. Litecoin is another top altcoin that is considered as Bitcoin's sister and was developed to solve the flaws that Bitcoin has. Litecoin is a new cryptocurrency that is slowly becoming an option for micropayments.

Most seizures end after a few moments or a few minutes. If seizures are prolonged, or occur in a series, there is an increased risk of status epilepticus. The term literally means a continuous state of seizure.
Status epilepticus is usually defined as 30 minutes of uninterrupted seizure activity. However, the Epilepsy Foundation advises parents and the public to call for emergency assistance when a convulsion continues for more than 5 minutes without signs of stopping. The experts who comprise the Foundation's Working Group on Status Epilepticus have recommended that emergency room physicians treat as status epilepticus if seizure activity has continued for more than 10 minutes.
Convulsive status epilepticus is a medical emergency. An estimated 42,000 deaths and thousands more instances of brain damage per year follow episodes of status. The majority of these episodes occur in people who do not have epilepsy but have other acute medical illnesses, such as brain tumors or infections, craniocerebral trauma, or cerebrovascular disease. Ingestion of cocaine or other illegal drugs, and toxic or metabolic disorders, can also trigger a status episode.
Death or brain damage from status seizures (as opposed to death from the underlying cause) is most likely to result from:
Direct damage to the brain caused by the injury that causes the seizures
Stress on the system from repeated generalized tonic clonic seizures
Injury from repeated electrical discharge in the brain.
About 25 percent of status epilepticus cases occur in people who have been diagnosed with epilepsy. At some point in their lives, 15 percent of people with epilepsy will experience an episode of status epilepticus. The most common precipitating factor in these cases in adults is withdrawal from medication or noncompliance with the regimen. There may, however, be no obvious cause for the episode. Ten percent of people who later progress to epilepsy experience their first seizure as a status episode.
Status epilepticus is most common in the very young and the very old, with the lowest incidence at ages 15-40. In the very young, febrile seizures are a leading cause of status epilepticus. In middle-aged adults, single, unprovoked episodes of status are common; later in life, stroke is a common cause.
In all cases, prompt treatment is the key to preventing serious outcomes. The goal of treatment is to stop the seizure activity as quickly as possible and treat any underlying precipitant. Mortality in children and adults is minimized when status lasts less than one hour. After an hour it increases slightly in children but jumps dramatically to close to 38% in adults.
Any type of epileptic seizure can progress to status epilepticus, but convulsive status has the greatest potential for long-term damage. Nonconvulsive status includes continuous absence seizures and partial status epilepticus, including status involving simple partial seizures (called epilepsia partialis continua). Nonconvulsive status can present in various ways, including loss of speech, automatisms, and alteration of consciousness.
While not generally viewed as being as damaging as convulsive status, nonconvulsive status involves repeated excessive electrical discharges in the brain and should also receive prompt treatment.
Hospital treatment of convulsive status epilepticus generally includes use of such drugs as diazepam, lorazepam, phenytoin and phenobarbital, administered in a planned sequence.
Rectal diazepam gel and a diazepam nasal spray may be prescribed for at-home or non-hospital use to stop bouts of prolonged seizures or clusters of acute repetitive seizures in people with a history of this type of seizure.

Britain's most violent prisoner makes his way to the big screen
Born into a respectable middle class family, Michael Gordon Peterson, re-named Charles Bronson by his fight promoter, would nevertheless become one of the United Kingdom's most dangerous criminals and is known for having spent almost his entire adult life in solitary confinement.
The film opens with Charles Bronson addressing a crowd about his life story, and manages to serve as an ongoing monologue to frame the scenes of Bronson's life.
Charles Bronson is an interesting character, to say the least. He loves being in prison due to how mad it is, thinks of his prison cell as a hotel room and considers it to be "a place to sharpen my tools". The great thing about him is how different Charles Bronson is, his violence doesn't stem from a hatred of society or a tough upbringing, but from simply wanting to be famous, and knowing he can't act or sing, opts to become infamous.
But a character is only as good as it's actor's performance, and I felt Tom Hardy delivered a spectacular performance, giving off the proper charisma needed for such a character. The thing about Bronson is that he was never the most stable minded person, so one minute he could have a big smile on his face and be laughing, and in a second switch to having a serious and intimidating look on his face, and Hardy's performance manages to make us believe this character could so easily flip between the two facial emotions.
"I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS SHIT, I'M IN THE NEW BATMAN FILM!"
Nicolas Winding Refn gives off some brilliant direction for this film, managing to use the colors and the right amount of lighting well for each scene. Music is well utilized throughout, with the classical music hauntingly playing over many of the film's scenes and electropop feels surprisingly fitting for the scenes it was used in, especially the fight scenes. At one point, he integrates real life footage of what Charles Bronson did rather than re-enact said event, and it works much better than if the director chose to re-enact the moment.
I did feel that the ending was a bit abrupt, but seeing as the film's based on a real life person who's still alive and locked away, it does make sense that there would not be a definitive way to end this film.
Bronson is a compelling film which is brought to life by a great performance from Tom Hardy and brilliant direction from Winding Refn, which manages to make a brilliant film which deserves to be viewed.

Did Florida Throw The Zimmerman Case? Travest
The Times, They Are Hurting
Healthy Democracy Needs Philanthropy
The 99% Must Unite To Withstand the 1% Plutoc
Beware of Republican and Democratic Demagogues
adminSeptember 22,2011
The American people need to understand that they're being manipulated by demagogues of every stripe. We need less feeling; more thinking.
[Beneath The Spin]
Politics 101--Use Your Brain to think...
I was watching the Republican debates the other night and it astounded me to see how many people were applauding proposed policies that would cut their throats.
During the debates I watched people whose very lives are dependent on social security applauding enthusiastically in support of the views of Rick Perry, Republican governor of Texas, a man who is on record as saying he believes that social security is unconstitutional.
So how do politicians get people to vote against their own interest? A classic example of the technique at work can be found in how the Republican Party manipulated the American people during the sixties. When you consider how methodically conservatives went about mounting their assault on the liberal agenda you can't help but recognize that it was a stroke of genius.
Ironically, the conservatives took the Democratic Party's strength and made it a political liability. First they took the party's penchant for being concerned with the plight of the downtrodden and coined phrases like "bleeding heart liberals" and "tax and spend Democrats."
They then played on the frustration of the middle class by tying civil rights legislation, welfare, and crime together as the source of middle class woes; then they attributed all of these problems to what they called the Democrat's tendency to be " bleeding heart liberals". Once the connection was made between minorities, welfare, crime, and the liberal agenda, it was then just a matter of repeatedly hammering the message home. Thereafter, whenever they mentioned the word "liberal," a sizable portion of the American people heard "minorities, welfare, and crime."
So, by simply associating the word liberal with any policy or individual, that policy or person became toxic, because through extension, the public associated it or them with all the things they'd been conditioned to hate. The GOP has used this technique very effectively to play on their constituency's prejudices and to whip them into a frenzy against their own interests.
The effectiveness of that campaign can still be seen today in the Tea Party. The primary reason that the GOP dubbed healthcare reform "Obamacare" was to play on the prejudices of their base. By calling it Obamacare it distracts their base from the recognition that healthcare reform is a policy that would not only benefit, but protect their families. But instead of recognizing that glaring fact, all they're thinking about is their hatred of Barack Obama, and as a result, act against their own interests.
Demagogues within the Democratic Party have learned this technique well. Tavis Smiley and Cornel West have used that very same technique to undermine President Obama and to promote their own political agenda. When Cornel West decided to mount his attack on Obama, instead of addressing specific policies, which would have been the responsible thing to do, he started attacking Obama's overall character by indicating that Obama was somehow uncomfortable with "free Black men," and then went on to associate him with the White power structure - "plutocrats and oligarchs."
Just like the Republicans, West was attempting to circumvent the peoples' minds, and appeal directly to their emotions and the negative attitudes that many Black people and White liberals harbor toward the White power elite. That way, instead of having to substantiate his claims, all he'd have to do thereafter was use buzz words like "oligarchs" and "plutocrats" to stir the people's emotions, much like the Republicans use the word "liberal."
But you can always see these people coming and identify who they are by asking yourself one simple question - is this person appealing to my ability to think, or simply trying to inflame my emotions?
If you'll notice, neither the GOP nor Smiley and West ever have any positive ideas to add to the political debate. All they ever talk about is what they don't like. They ever offer any alternative suggestions on how the current policy can be improved. Everything they do or say is designed to provoke anger and hostility, because rational thought is their enemy.
The GOP doesn't want to discuss the pros and cons of healthcare reform. All they want to do is attack it as an overall policy that's "un-American." They'll say something like, "Obamacare is un-America. The liberals are engaged in a socialist plot to protect your family."
The same is true of Smiley and West. Instead of addressing specific policies or how they can be improved, all they want to talk about is why Obama is no good - and when interviewed, they speak in gross generalities, and the fact that they haven't been invited to the White House will invariably be mentioned. But we have yet to hear them discuss anything concrete.
If you don't like President Obama, who should we run instead? They don't want to address these sort of issues, because that might get the people thinking again.
So the American people need to understand that they're being manipulated by demagogues of every stripe. If we ever want to improve our current condition, first, it is incumbent upon us to stop depending on others to do what we need to do for ourselves; and second, we need to start doing a lot less feeling, and a whole lot more thinking.

Oliver Twist is a 2007 British television adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1838 novel Oliver Twist, written by Sarah Phelps and directed by Coky Giedroyc. It consists of five episodes, broadcast on BBC One from 18 to 22 December 2007. It aired on PBS' Masterpiece Classic in the United States on 15 and 22 February 2009, in two ninety-minute installments. In Australia, ABC1 also opted to air this series as a two-part special each Sunday at 8:30 pm from 20 December 2009.

Production
Filming took place in May 2007, with the scene at the workhouse where Oliver asks "Please, sir, I want some more" being filmed at The Historic Dockyard in Chatham.

Plot Summary

A heavily pregnant woman makes her way to a workhouse in Mudfog where she gives birth to a boy and subsequently dies. The Beadle, Mr. Bumble names the boy Oliver Twist.

10 years later, Oliver makes the mistake of asking for more gruel. He is subsequently sold to work with an undertaker, Mr. Sowerberry but runs away following harsh treatment from another apprentice named Noah Claypole. Meanwhile, Mr. Bumble and his assistant, the Widow Corney are visited by a mysterious man named Mr. Monks, who seems interested in learning about Oliver. Oliver escapes to London where he meets a young pickpocket named Jack Dawkins, better known as the Artful Dodger. Dodger brings Oliver to his gang led by Fagin. Oliver also earns the affections of Nancy, a former pupil of Fagin's and also meets her brutal lover, Bill Sikes.

A few days later, Dodger takes Oliver to teach him how to pick pockets. He steals a wallet from a gentleman named Mr. Brownlow, however, a crowd start chasing Oliver, believing him to be the thief. On Sikes' urging, Fagin attends court where Oliver does not 'peach' on Dodger and Brownlow vouches for Oliver and decides to make amends by giving him a home. Oliver becomes acquainted with Mrs. Bedwin, Brownlow's housekeeper and Rose Maylie. Rose Maylie reveals that Brownlow looked after her and her sister, Agnes, who has been missing for years.

Fagin and Sikes worry that Oliver could still bring down the authorities onto them. They decide to use Nancy to bring him back. Sometime later, Oliver receives a letter from an anonymous person stating that he will need to meet them to learn more about his mother. Oliver plans to do so when he is sent by Brownlow to send some books back to the bookseller. When he does, he is entrapped in a cell by Sikes, Fagin and a reluctant Nancy. It is soon revealed that Monks has been plotting with Fagin to make a criminal out of Oliver and also to kill him. Monks is actually Oliver's half-brother who intends to disinherit him from a will left by his late father. Sikes and Fagin decide to take Oliver to burgle a house. Oliver is shot by one of the residents and taken back to Fagin's for treatment.

Monks meanwhile visits Brownlow, who addresses him as Edward and is revealed to be his grandfather, feigning sympathy for the missing Oliver. He soon returns to Mudfog in order to obtain proof of Oliver's identity from Bumble and the Widow Corney - a locket. Nancy has come to care for Oliver and regrets her part in bringing him back. She overhears a conversation between Monks and Fagin in which the former orders to latter to kill Oliver, or he himself will do it. Nancy meets with Brownlow and Rose to warn them of Monks and Fagin, keeping Sikes out of it due to her love for him. Rose believes Nancy, but Brownlow does not - he believes that Oliver is a criminal. Dodger was sent by Fagin to spy on Nancy and reports to Fagin that she has peached. However, Sikes overhears this and brutally murders Nancy.

Sikes later goes to Fagin's den to abduct Oliver, intending to use him to convince the authorities that he (Sikes) did not kill Nancy. Brownlow brings the police to Fagin's den in hopes of finding Oliver. When they do not find him, they begin to question Fagin, who they suspect has killed Oliver. Fagin confirms that Monks was the one who wanted Oliver dead and that Sikes has taken him. The police remain unconvinced and arrest Fagin. Sikes brings Oliver into a wooded area but suddenly starts being haunted by Nancy's ghost and decides to run back to London.

Meanwhile, Monks arrives back at Brownlow's house, where Brownlow and Rose reveal that they have discovered his true intentions to try and kill Oliver. He reveals that he had been to Mudfog and gives them Oliver's mother's locket - this reveals that Agnes was indeed Oliver's mother. Brownlow disowns Monks and has him sent to the West Indies, deciding that Oliver deserves the money left by Monks' father. Dodger visits Fagin in prison - Fagin asks him to bring Oliver to vouch for him in front of the magistrate.

On arriving back to London, Sikes is chased by a mob into the sewers of London. He still continues to be haunted by Nancy so decides to hang himself. Oliver who has managed to escape from Sikes is asked by Dodger to help Fagin, but Oliver refuses and returns home to Brownlow and Rose. Fagin is sentenced to death by hanging. Dodger finds Bullseye, Sikes' dog and walks away with him into the streets of London, showing signs of becoming like Sikes. Oliver and his new family light candles for Agnes and Nancy in a church. Oliver is last seen celebrating Christmas with his new family.

Differences
The adaptation makes several major alterations to the plot of the source material, which include both alterations of events as well as familial relationships.

Rose Maylie is living with Mr Brownlow, and she addresses him as "uncle", but explains that he is in fact her guardian who took her and her sister, Agnes, in when her mother died. Her sister has been missing for many years, and the search for her has been ongoing. Mr Brownlow is now a part of the overall family tree, since Edward Monks is made his grandchild. As in the book, Monks becomes aware that Oliver is his half-brother, born to the missing Agnes who had a relationship with his father, and seeks to end his life so that there is no competition to his inheritance. As a result, Oliver is ultimately revealed to be Mr Brownlow's grandchild, in addition to being Rose's nephew and Monks' half-brother, as in the novel. Unlike the book, however, Monks is not an unattractive, nervous and cowardly epileptic, but a scheming, manipulative and attractive cad seeking engagement to Rose, who clearly doesn't like him.

Nancy is even more of a mother figure to Oliver than in the original novel, the famous musical version or especially, the 1948 David Lean film version, in which she does not even express any concern at all for him until after she and Sikes bring him back to Fagin's. In the 2007 version, she is seen constantly looking after him and tending to his needs (she even kisses him tenderly at one point, stopping just short of telling the boy that she loves him).

When a gun was pointed at Sikes when he attempts to rob the house, he uses Oliver as a shield from the shots, injuring him. Oliver is taken back to Fagin's lair to recover, rather than being nursed back to health in the countryside by the Maylie family, as in the novel. It is Nancy's informing Rose, and a highly skeptical Mr Brownlow, of Oliver's whereabouts that results in her demise at the hands of Sikes. Her ghost continues to haunt him when he returns to London with Oliver, resulting in him choosing to hang himself in the sewers as a means of escaping the London crowds who chase him.

Meanwhile, Monks' murderous motive is discovered by Mr Brownlow and Rose; he is disowned and sent to the West Indies, and Oliver, escaping the clutches of the crazed Sikes, returns to the Brownlow household, and is welcomed. It is the Artful Dodger, rather than Oliver, who visits the condemned Fagin in prison, and goes to his public execution. Sikes's dog finds Dodger and the two disappear into the crowds together. Fagin has genuine concern for Oliver in this version.

NEW YORK (PIX11) – The FBI is combing over surveillance video as part of an investigation into the disappearance of $1.2 million in cash, a discovery made on Monday.
Over the weekend, Swiss Air flight #17 flew into JFK airport carrying passengers as well as approximately $93 million in cash. Such cash transfers of that sum are the normal course of business for US banks, as tourists exchange cash abroad. Once arriving in the United States, the cash is brought through the Federal Reserve which replaces old bills before returning them to the bank of origin.
The shipment going to a US bank which officials will not name, was counted up on Monday when one $1.2 million in $100 bills was found to be missing. $92 million of that shipment did make it through.
There are reports that a forklift operator at JFK tells investigators he noticed a hole in one of the cargo containers Off-loaded from the Swissair flight over the weekend.
In 1978 a JFK heist took place with nearly $6 million in cash and jewels stolen. Later it inspired the film Goodfellas, In which the real-life Jimmy "the Gent" Burke was played by New Yorker Robert DeNiro. As it happens, police were at Burke's home in Queens just last week, digging up the ground floor they found human remains which have yet to be identified. Burke died o lung cancer in 1996.

Picking the best dumpster for your project is an important aspect of dumpster rental in 94268.

Paying a flat rate normally means that you simply get to avoid any hidden fees and costs. Firms which don't charge flat fees may include extra costs for basic services like dropping off the dumpster. Keep in your mind, however, which you still might have to pay extra in case you would like to include certain things and stuff in the dumpster.
Having a flat rate also means you can prepare your payment in advance. This is especially useful when you need another person to make the payment for you.

2. Give you and also the rental company a lot of time. It's best to call ahead at least a week or two before you need the dumpster. If you try to schedule an appointment sooner than that, you might have a small assortment.
The most common dumpsters comprise 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard models. When you are in possession of a tiny endeavor, for example clearing out a garage or basement, you can likely reap the benefits of a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. When you have a bigger endeavor, for example an entire remodel or building a new home, then you will most likely need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
Many people choose to rent a bigger dumpster than they believe they will want. Although renting a bigger dumpster costs more cash, it's more affordable than having to an additional dumpster after a little one gets full.
The weight limit on 40 yard containers typically ranges from 4 to 8 tons (8,000 to 16,000 pounds). Be very mindful of this limit and do your best not to exceed it. If you do go over the limit, you can incur overage fees, which add up quickly.

Planning for your next project can sometimes be difficult. Organizing your ideas, identifying and shopping for the proper tools and equipment, and finally putting your vision to work is not always easy, and it is essential to stay ahead. One of the most helpful things you can do when preparing for your next project is to know precisely from where you plan to get your parts and equipment. Having a sense of where you will be sourcing your project materials from can help cut down on the unnecessary frustration often attached to the unknown. If you are a professional welder, you know that welding cables and materials have recently gone up in price. As a result of the increase in welding supply prices, welders of all experiences have turned to online suppliers to find Welding Cable For Sale. It may seem overwhelming to transition to online shopping, but know that in the long run, you are likely to save a significant amount of money, and minimize the frustration and stress that often comes with sourcing building materials. Read on for helpful information about finding professional, trustworthy online stores that provide welding cable for sale.
The first step in finding the welding cable that you are looking for is simple. Type welding cable for sale into your favorite search engine, and discover the various options that appear. While you will get a general list of what stores offer online sales, you will now be able to narrow down the list to find the supplier that's right for you. After you've done this, you'll want to read the reviews that are available for each store. Reading online customer reviews will give you a good sense of how the business is, and what they have to offer you.
Reading reviews is a simple and efficient way to narrow down your options. Look for reviews that are clear, detailed and positive. Eliminate any businesses with negative reviews. This process will help you quickly develop a short-list of any potential welding cable suppliers.
Once you have a short-list in hand, you'll want to move forward with the research project. Visit each one of your candidates' websites. Look through their inventory, price range, and their qualifications. Look for professional and specialized certifications, reviews, and ratings. One of the easiest ways to identify whether an online business is legitimate or not is to look for the logos of popular payment methods — Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal. If these logos appear on the website, with clear indications of partnerships and verifications, you've likely landed on a quality online business.
By now, your list is likely shorter, and you are probably close to finding that perfect online welding supplier. However, there are two more simple steps you can take to ensure that you discover the online business that's right for you. First, read through the store's shipping policies. Make sure that the prices and rates are appropriate for your needs. You'll also want to look for any helpful information regarding refunds, warranties, and returns.
The second thing you'll want to do is call the company's customer service line. Talk to a customer service representative to get a feel for the company and its professionalism. Was the representative friendly? Did they have the information you were looking for? Sometimes, talking with a customer service representative can help make your decision for you. Make this quick call to prevent any complications or frustrations down the road.
