Daily fraud update: 7th April
Published: 4th October, 2021.
Coinhouse wins regulatory approval in France
A cryptocurrency trading firm has made history in France by becoming the first such firm to be registered with the major financial regulator in the country.
Coinhouse is now registered with the Financial Markets Authority, or AMF.
According to a spokesperson for Coinhouse, the development came about because the firm was able to demonstrate that it had a stringent "know your customer" policy in place.
"It's a recognition from the AMF that you're a serious actor and do some strict [know-your-customer] policy", Julien Moretto said.
The movement towards encouraging policies around "know your customer", which is often shortened to KYC, is a way of attempting to reduce money laundering in the crypto world.
Coinhouse had to jump through a number of hoops to secure the approval.
It had to show, for example, that it was able to open up funds if a case of proven crypto scamming occurred.
It also had to prove it had the capacity for asset freezing, while also committing to the use of software and analysis packages.
Coinhouse has also made staffing changes as a result of its determination to get approval.
It hired a compliance controller, for example.
The next step for the firm will be to secure banking services within France.
The advantage for the firm is that it could save money.
It currently banks with a financial institution in Germany, and a move to a French provider could save cash.
According to Sandrine Lebeau, who serves as the director of compliance and risk at Coinhouse, the new development will also have positive effects on the firm's "brand image" and advertising programmes.
"The registration will soon be mandatory to do buy/sell and custody activities on cryptocurrency in France, but the license will be important for the brand image", she said.
"The license will give us the right to do commercials and ads about our services", Lebeau added.
Lebeau was also unusually candid about the effect of the regulation – or lack thereof – on customers.
"I think we improved on security and trust working with the regulator", Lebeau said.
"I don't know if the compliance is really consumer friendly, but it improves funds security for sure, which is one of our top priorities."
France's record on crypto regulation so far has been strong.
The country passed one of the first packages of cryptocurrency laws in the whole of Europe last year when – in May – it passed the PACTE law.
The PACTE law meant that crypto firms, both crypto to fiat and fiat to crypto, are the only private companies which are forced to sign up with the AMF on the grounds of anti-terrorist or anti-money laundering purposes.
While this law has been reported by some to help ensure that crypto firms are able to access the banking services they need, this has not always happened as smoothly as planned.


Many travellers are searching for Things To Do And See In Bangkok,Bangkok can well be described as a city of humble beginnings. In fact around 200 years ago, it was simply a small trading center and port community. Despite the fact that the city had grown rapidly and become renowned for being a modern and vibrant place, it has impressively retained its splendid and enchanting glory. That's why a visit to Bangkok should be on everyone's bucket list. You can find Things To Do And See In Bangkok travel information.
Also referred to as Wat Chetuphon, this really is a temple which had been designed for King Rama in Bangkok a huge selection of years ago. It is actually thought to be a location where people can receive feelings, and was considered among the first pharmacies in all of the of Bangkok. Also, it is the location of the first university which had been started by way of a descendent of King Rama, a place where you may now get not simply traditional medicine but a foot massage at highly affordable prices. It is known mostly for the Temple in the Reclining Buddha which is actually a Buddha which is laying perched on his arm. It is actually enormous, roughly 15 m high by 45 m long, and will just be viewed in sections simply because of its size. There are numerous beautiful gemstones which were in lead in the soles from the feet, an overall total quantity of 108 stones total. This can be a number relevant to procession, the wobble of the earth, an issue that is made into a lot of the temples throughout Thailand.
It is an absolutely beautiful structure which has a large amount of history, and is the house of what exactly is called Wat Phra Kaeo. It can be here how the emerald or jade Buddha are available, with this palace internal 1782, the residence in the royalty that were responsible for the land at the time. This palace includes a couple of hours of not simply the palace itself but also the Wat Phra Kaew Tour. Our recommendation is that you start early in the morning to benefit from everything that you will be capable of seeing, or perhaps conduct a half day sightseeing tour to find out either one.
You can observe a lovely representation in the ancient battles that utilized to occur between Burma and Siam. This is really a variety of Royal Palace and Chapel, and if you can to climb to the top level just before sunset, you will see sunlight setting in to the Chao Praya River, an attractive sight to behold.
Facing what exactly is called Wat Suthat is the thing that the locals call the giant swing. It really is a 27 m high structure, use for religious ceremonies, and its purpose is to pass through a ritual that requires groups of three people coming to the top and walking across on the narrow board. There are a tremendous variety of fatal accidents during the 1930s which make them not use this like a ritual ever again. However, it really is a beautiful sight to see, especially facing Wat Suthat.
This can be literally something from the movies, a genuine floating market that is about one hour beyond Bangkok. It really is considered by some to get the Venice of the East, just like the way the people that component of Italy do it numerous things in the water. It is also a tourist trap as a consequence of how individuals are planning to see this market which is completely floating on boats manned by people selling their goods. However, when you do go, you will certainly be treated to probably the most delicious food that may be absolutely fresh, served in a authentic way.
In case you have time, you are able to visit Lumpini Park and that is a literal oasis in the middle of the architecture and buildings of Bangkok. There are numerous lawns that one could chill at, Chinese pagodas, and there exists a small lake that you can go on a boat out on. Is perfect for relaxing since the park is so tranquil, despite all the skyscrapers that are surrounding it in every directions. The park is a place where antigovernment protests have occurred, so just be sure that when you decide to go there, it's just people hanging out to relax.

Duke Ellington - Love You Madly [MP3] Duke Ellington - Love You Madly [FLAC]
Vee Jay originally released Love You Madly, a collection of then-previously unissued Duke Ellington performances, back in 1974.
Collectables' 2002 reissue doesn't add anything new to the album, but it is nice to have it back in print again, especially for the performance of "Lover Come Back to Me," which features Billie Holiday. Other highlights include the medley of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "In a Sentimental Mood," "Mood Indigo," "I'm Beginning to See the Light," "Sophisticated Lady," "Caravan," "It Don't Mean a Thing," "Solitude," and "I Let a Song Go out of My Heart" and "The Mooche."

Toots Thielemans - For My Lady
The emphasis is on ballads for harmonica player Toots Thielemans' outing with the Shirley Horn Trio. Horn, in addition to contributing some tastefully supportive piano and occasional solos, takes a vocal on "Someone to Watch Over Me." Toots sounds quite relaxed performing 11 standards (only "Blues in the Closet" generates much heat) plus his original "For My Lady" with such comfortable backing.

Robin George - Dangerous Music: Live 85
Arguably, Robin George's debut album is best experienced in its live incarnation, the seething (and sensibly titled) Dangerous Music: Live 85 album. But this earlier disc has its mighty moments regardless, as one of the hottest guitarists of the age steps out from the shadows of the David Byron Band to assault the unsuspecting with a dozen excellent hard rockers. His influences, drawn equally from older metal mavens and the more recent NWOBHM crowd, are certainly blended a lot more cohesively than many of his peers ever managed, and again, though songs and performances alike would blossom even further once he got them on the road, this remains a gripping LP.

This project seeks to ask whether transnational civil society is able to affect nuclear governance. It departs from a puzzle: the fear of nuclear weapons does not mobilise the masses in the present context, yet civil society is active in the fora of nuclear regulation. Why is it active? How does it put forward its mission? And what are the consequences of its activism? These are some of the questions that the thesis wants to address. Studying civil society in the nuclear world wants to fill a gap in nuclear scholarship where studies of nuclear states have been almost the totality. The aim is to reflect on the relation between between the multiple ways in which these arms are regulated (not just in terms of non-proliferation but also arms control, disarmament and deterrence) and on the power of transnational advocates and experts. By mapping the involvement of civil society actors at the multilateral level it seeks to understand the origins of their mobilisation, the unfolding of their strategies, and the extent of their relations with states. Theoretically, the thesis combines security governance and discourse analysis while adopting a critical constructivist approach. Empirically, it undertakes an ethnographic study of civil society activity at the periodic meetings of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It will argue for the political nature and importance of struggles happening in the sites of nuclear governance where different conceptions of what nuclear weapons are and what purpose they have interact with one another.

Venue Spotlight: Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon

By Sunny Sweeney
(LSM July/Aug 2011/vol. 4 – Issue 4)
Dale Watson, one of my all-time favorite country singer-songwriters, calls it "The Honkiest, Tonkiest Beer Joint in Town."
It's been 10 years since the first time I stepped into Ginny's Little Longhorn. To this day, not a thing has changed. I mean there may be some new neon signs and now there's an ATM, but the service, the bartenders and the country music are all the same.
It's a little dive bar up in North Austin on Burnet Road. If you're driving there at night, you may very well miss it. It doesn't look like much on the outside. It's just an old stone building with Longhorn orange trim and a white steeple on top. Inside is where the treasure is.
Ginny Kalmbach runs the joint. I can't ever remember a time where I've been in there and she's not sitting right by the ice machine in her folding chair, watching the band playing that her daughter, Sharon Lusk, booked. Her late husband, Don, was always a staple there, too, and there's a big picture of him right above a table by the dance floor.

From the first night I discovered this little gem, I was hooked on its family feel and cheap beer. On Sundays, from 4 p.m.-8 p.m., they have Chicken Shit Bingo. There's a chicken that lives outside the bar in the parking lot in a chicken coop, and it comes out to party on Sunday. They cover up the pool table in the back with a piece of plywood with numbers on it and a cage all the way around it, and sell tickets to patrons who think they know which number the chicken will pick to do his business on.
For years, I played a Sunday night gig from 8:30 p.m. – 12:30 a.m. at a bar a couple blocks down from Ginny's. I would always go to Ginny's first from 4-8 to recruit people to come to my gig. People congregate in the parking lot and you can bring your own liquor. You should trust me, though, you're gonna want to buy your beer there. It's the coldest in town.
The beauty about Ginny's is that it's an eclectic group of people that go there. It used to mostly be just local types, but because it's "trendy" now to go to dive bars, there are usually quite a few college students there. Almost always, there's people from Europe or the U.K. there, too, who are visiting the famous country bar. There's motorcycle clubs there; there's "the dancers" (who can manage to squeeze at least 10 dancing couples at a time on the 8-foot-by-8-foot dance floor); there's the Rockabilly crowd with their cool hair and hotrod cars; there's the domino players that sit in the back and play for hours; there's the musicians that are coming to watch either Dale Watson or Redd Volkaert play and sing. And to think: This whole bar is only approximately 60-feet-by-20-feet.
I remember one night I went in to see Redd Volkaert and knock back a few cold beers, I sat down at the bar, and looked over and believe it or not, no one else other than Brad Paisley was sitting in with Redd and they were both just wailing away on their guitars. Brad's wife, Kimberly Williams, was sitting at the bar watching them. I'm on tour with Brad Paisley now, so I can't wait to remind him of that story … and to be honest, as I'm writing this, I'm kind of having a surreal moment.
When I made my first CD, Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, I did my photo shoot at Ginny's — right in the middle of the bar. A picture of the world-famous chicken from Chicken Shit Bingo made it into my CD, too; it's in the CD tray.
Ginny doesn't stand for fightin', cussin', or fussin', so if you're planning on going in there, you need to be prepared to chill out and just have a few beers and listen to some good ol' live country music — at least until the band takes a break, of course; that's when they turn on the 8-track player.

Java has been my primary language for years, but not because I'm fond of its syntax. The thing Java has going for it is a really large ecosystem. Lately, however, I find the disadvantages of the language outweighing the benefits.

On the hillside at Kommetjie a small church with a bell tower. This is the Catholic church of St Joseph, built by a devoted wife in honour of her husband. Guiseppe Rubbi came to South Africa from Italy at the turn of the century as a humble carpenter but struggled on to become one of the foremost builders in Cape Town. The Old Mutual building in Darling Street, which in its day was considered outstanding, was built by him. He owned one of the first four holiday homes in Kommetjie and loved to walk in the mountains behind. He expressed the wish that he could be buried there as the view was reminiscent of his birthplace, Marostica. When he died in 1946, Mrs Rubbi bought the piece of land where he used to sit and admire the view and had a tomb and ventilated vault erected there. She persuaded Bishop O'Reilly to allow her to build a chapel in memory of her husband. In 1948 Mr Garnelli, the nephew who had inherited the family business, built this chapel. No expense was spared. On the ceiling are three paintings in the style of an Italian church, with different marbles imported from the Alps and Vicenza for the altar and the floor. Around the walls are tablets depicting the 14 Stations of the Cross, and a mosaic of the Holy Mother and Child. When the church was completed, Mrs Rubbi arranged for a Salesian father to conduct a service there once a month, except at holiday times, when a priest came each Sunday. With foresight the Catholic Church had brought two adjoining plots and in 1968 when Ocean View township was established, a monastery was built behind the church. From then on, regular services were held in the church. Father Smeets looks after the new church at Ocean View and the local congregation from the kommetjie and Sun Valley areas.

by Sorcha Faal
as reported to her Western Subscribers
from WhatDoesItMean Website
Ed. Note
Western governments and their intelligence services actively campaign against the information found in these reports so as not to alarm their citizens about the many catastrophic Earth changes and events to come, a stance that the Sisters of Sorcha Faal strongly disagrees with in believing that it is every human beings right to know the truth.
Due to our missions conflicts with that of those governments, the responses of their 'agents' against us has been a longstanding misinformation/misdirection campaign designed to discredit and which is addressed in the report
"Who Is Sorcha Faal?".
Sister Maria Theresa is the 73rd Sorcha Faal of the Sorcha Faal Order, Elected as Mother Superior 3 February 2007.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, the 73rd Sorcha Faal joined the Order in March, 1973 and holds various degrees with both European and United States Universities.
Sorcha Faal has traveled and lectured extensively throughout the World, with her primary focus being the systematic structure of languages serving as a link between thought and sound, and as developed by Ferdinand de Saussure.
Sorcha Faal has further expanded her own research on 'Linguistic Ordering' with knowledge gained while a visiting researcher with Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev on the esoteric structure of DNA and its uses in explaining physic phenomena.
"In accepting this Conclave's nomination as the 73rd Sorcha Faal of our Order, I express the gratitude of all the Sisters in thanking Sister Lyuha for her guidance as our Sorcha Faal these past 7 years, especially her efforts these past 5 years in re-orienting all of us towards the Western World.
Our Order has always striven to provide to this World that Light needed to dispel the myths inherent in Darkness, but which without we could never see the truest balance between the two."
Brief History of the Order of Sorcha Faal
The Order of Sorcha Faal was established in 588 (BCE) in Tara, County Meath, Ireland, and claim as their Founder the oldest daughter of King Zedekiah, Tamar Tephi.
The name, "Sorcha Faal," comes from the ancient Gaeilge branch of the Goidelic languages of Ireland and has the meaning of:
Sorcha: She Who Brings Light
Faal: the Dark and Barren Place
The Order of Sorcha Faal comprises 18 Monasteries in Ireland, Russia, Egypt, Lebanon, and the United States.
A most grim report from Russian Space Forces (VKS) monitoring the United States High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is warning today that the Americans are preparing for another potentially devastating earthquake test on a scale comparable to the one that destroyed the Caribbean island Nation of Haiti, and which we had previously reported on in our January 14th report titled "US Quake Test Goes 'Horribly Wrong' - Leaves 500,000 Dead In Haiti" (far below report.)
The reason for this new American quake test, these reports say, is due to the 'catastrophic failure' of their previous ones that have so destabilized our Earth's inner magnetosphere that more earthquakes have been reported in the past 30-days then in the first 90-days of 2009 (including over 600 alone at the potentially catastrophic Yellowstone volcanic caldron) and that have caused more loss of life than in the previous 5-years all put together.
For the purposes of the Americans conducting these most dangerous of quake tests, these reports continue, is for their use against the Persian Nation of Iran which the United States Military has concluded can only be destroyed by a 'severe disruption' to their society caused by a massive earthquake which would leave the Iranians with 'no excuse' to retaliate against the West.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, so far, has been the only World leader calling on the United States to immediately stop the testing of these catastrophic earthquake weapons and has accused the Americans of "playing God", and as we can read as reported by the Russia Today News Service:
"Chavez is blaming the US for causing the 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti as part of testing a 'tectonic weapon' that can cause eco-type disasters, according to Russia Today. The Latin American leader added that the US should "stop playing God.'"
Chavez said these "weapon earthquakes" would eventually be used against Iran and be taken over by the US military. Chavez says these weapons can alter the climate and set off earthquakes and volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves."
Important to note about Chavez's warning of the United States testing of these earthquake weapons was its quick denunciation by the Western propaganda media, including Spain's SDP News Service which even went so far as accusing the Venezuelan leader of basing his information on the Sorcha Faal's original report, and which completely ignored the fact that Chavez would have access to the same Russian reports we had used for our reporting on this matter.
Though not known to the vast majority of Americans the development and use of earthquake weapons have long been known, and as evidenced by a US Department of Defense press briefing on April 28, 1997 when then Defense Secretary William Cohen in talking of the dangers future wars would bring surprised reporters by mentioning them, and as we can read:
"Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops.
Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves."
The use by the Americans of these new HAARP geophysical weapons has, also, caused Russia to issue a warning that they could lead to a Global catastrophe, and as we can further read:
"A lot of specialists and scientists believe that unpredictable natural disasters and several man-caused catastrophes that struck Europe and Asia in the summer of the year 2002 say that there might be certain global reasons that caused them all. First and foremost, it goes about a possibility of secret geophysical weapon tests. Those tests were either secret or unauthorized.
The Russian Federation State Duma spent almost a year, considering the global threat of the HAARP program. The Duma finally prepared two addresses: to President Putin and to the UN, international organizations, parliaments and governments of all countries, to the scientific community of the world, as well as to mass media.
The Russian parliament suggested the global banning of HAARP tests.
In September of the year 2002 the State Duma of Russia discussed this question and conducted the voting in order to send the mentioned addresses to the adequate addressees. One hundred and eighty-eight deputies voted for the address to President Vladimir Putin, whereas the same subject for the UN returned 220 votes.
This proved that Russian parliamentarians were rather concerned about the development and possible use of geophysical weapons."
Also to note is that in while in our previous report we had stated that Northern Fleet Officials did not believe the US intended to fully destroy Haiti with their quake test, new information is showing the Americans were preparing for it, and as we can read:
"A Haiti disaster relief scenario had been envisaged at the headquarters of US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) in Miami one day prior to the earthquake. The holding of pre-disaster simulations pertained to the impacts of a hurricane in Haiti. They were held on January 11."
Other Western reports are stating that a British naval flotilla was pulled out of the waters around Haiti just days before the earthquake, the first such gap in British naval coverage in the Caribbean since the 1700's.
Note: The West has long used Military "drills" such as these as a cover to conceal the real events, such as those conducted prior and during the September 11, 2001 attacks upon America and the July 7, 2005 "mock bombing" of London's subway system that (coincidentally) coincided with an actual attack.
To the location of this new earthquake weapons test the United States is preparing for these reports further warn the entire Western coastal areas of the Americans are in danger and could 'very well' expect to see a catastrophic event within the fortnight.
Most unfortunately in all of these events are the American peoples continued denial of what is being done in their names by their war leaders, and who, like Chavez had warned, are 'playing God'.
But not to a heaven are these 'gods' creating, but rather a 'hell on Earth' these peoples should begin preparing for, and as the evidence in Haiti shows, beyond all doubt, that when catastrophe strikes, everyone will have to fend for themselves.
US Quake Test Goes "Horribly Wrong"
Leaves 500,000 Dead In Haiti
A grim report prepared by the Russian Northern Fleet for Prime Minister Putin is stating today that the catastrophic earthquake that has devastated the Island of Haiti was the 'clear result' of a United States Navy test of one of its 'earthquake weapons' planned to be used by the Americans upon the Persian Nation of Iran but had gone 'horribly wrong'.
The Northern Fleet has been monitoring US Naval movements and activities in the Caribbean since 2008 when the Americans announced their intention to re-establish their Forth Fleet that had been disbanded in 1950, and which was responded to by the Motherland when later that year a Russian flotilla led by nuclear powered cruiser Peter the Great began their first exercises in this region since the ending of the Cold War.
Though virtually unknown to the American people, the use, and perfection, of earthquake weapon technology has a decade's long history that began with the former Soviet Unions exploding of a 10 megaton nuclear bomb in September, 1978 (below image) and then 'redirecting' its shockwave towards Iran where it resulted in a catastrophic 7.4 magnitude earthquake, an event which hastened the downfall of the US backed regime headed by the Shah.
This attack upon Iran by the Soviets was countered by the Americans in April, 1979 when they unleashed one of their newly developed 'atomic powered' earthquake weapons against the former communist Nation of Yugoslavia which resulted in a 7.2 magnitude earthquake.
Since the late 1970's, the United States has 'greatly advanced' the state of its earthquake weapons and, according to these reports, now employees devices employing a Tesla Electromagnetic Pulse, Plasma and Sonic technology, along with 'shockwave bombs' they have previously been accused by Russia of employing in their war against the Afghan peoples when one of these 'devices' was exploded in Afghanistan in March, 2002 triggering a devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake.
Interesting to note in these reports are their stating that the earthquake weapons test conducted by the US Navy this week in the Caribbean that destroyed Haiti was 'most probably' based upon the same type of Tesla technology held responsible for the catastrophic January17, 1995, 6.8 magnitude earthquake that laid to waste the Japanese city of Kobe, and which the mysterious Aum Shinrikyo cult had warned 9 days prior was going to occur, and as we can read:
"Aum's charismatic guru, Shoko Asahara, predicted the Kobe quake nine days before the event. In an 8 January 1995 radio broadcast, Asahara stated "Japan will be attacked by an earthquake in 1995. The most likely place is Kobe."
Hideo Murai, the late Science and Technology minister for Aum Shinrikyo also adhered to this view.
Murai - said to have been the most intelligent Japanese who ever lived - was murdered in a Yakuza orchestrated assassination shortly after speaking on the record to foreign news correspondents.
"Murai presented his allegation in an April 7 1995 news conference at the Foreign Correspondent Club in Japan. In answer to questions about the Kobe quake, Murai said,
There is a strong possibility of the activation of an earthquake using electromagnetic power, or somebody may have used a device that applied force inside the Earth."
The Aum leadership believed the Kobe quake an act of war:
"The City of Kobe was hit by a surprise attack…" they claimed, adding the City was an "…appropriate guinea pig."
Note: The Aum Shinrikyo religious order was destroyed shortly after their releasing of this information to the public when blamed for the March 20, 1995 sarin gas attack upon the Tokyo subway system which resulted in 11 of their members, including their leader, being sentenced to death. FSB reports on Aum Shinrikyo further state that their knowledge of the planned use of these 'doomsday' devices was gained from the US computer hackers belonging to the Branch Davidian religious order who had penetrated some of the American defense establishments most secret files and resulted in their, likewise, being completely destroyed in what is now known as the Waco Siege ordered by then US District Attorney, and currently Obama's US Attorney General, Eric Holder.
The Tesla weapons being developed by the United States are based upon the research of Nikola Tesla who was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer.
He was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.
Tesla is also credited as the inventor of modern radio by the US Supreme Court.
To Tesla's earthquake weapons research conducted in the early 20th century we can further read:
"He put his little vibrator in his coat-pocket and went out to hunt a half-erected steel building. Down in the Wall Street district, he found one; ten stories of steel framework without a brick or a stone laid around it. He clamped the vibrator to one of the beams, and fussed with the adjustment until he got it.
Tesla said finally the structure began to creak and weave and the steel-workers came to the ground panic-stricken, believing that there had been an earthquake. Police were called out. Tesla put the vibrator in his pocket and went away. Ten minutes more and he could have laid the building in the street.
And, with the same vibrator he could have dropped the Brooklyn Bridge into the East River in less than an hour.
Tesla claimed the device, properly modified, could be used to map underground deposits of oil. A vibration sent through the earth returns an "echo signature" using the same principle as sonar.
This idea was actually adapted for use by the petroleum industry, and is used today in a modified form with devices used to locate objects at archaeological digs."
Important to note at this point are that modern day experiments seeking to discredit Tesla's earthquake weapons technology have been directed against structures designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes, buildings which in the early 20th century, like those in Haiti today, were not built to withstand such resonance.
A most critical difference when viewed in the light of the US Navy's testing of 2 of these earthquake weapons this past week and where in their Pacific test it resulted in a 6.5 magnitude earthquake hitting the area around the Northern California city of Eureka causing no deaths, their Caribbean test has caused an estimated 500,000 innocents to die.
Equally important to note are these reports stating that 'more than likely' the US Navy had 'full knowledge' of the catastrophic damage this earthquake weapons test could potentially have upon Haiti and had pre-positioned their Deputy Commander of their Southern Command, General P.K. Keen, on the island to oversee relief efforts if needed.
To the end result of these weapons being tested by the United States, these reports warn, are for the Americans planned destruction of Iran through a series of catastrophic earthquakes designed to bring down their present Islamic regime.
Most unfortunately in all of these events are the peoples of Haiti, who are suffering under conditions so horrible, that even in the best of scenarios, their functioning as a viable Nation has completely come to an end, and for reasons and purposes they have no comprehension of at all as they have become just the latest victim in the New Great Game that will decide the winners and losers of this 21st Century.
Return to Tsunamis and Earthquakes


Notwithstanding the many methodological advances made in the field of psychotherapy research, at present a metatheoretical, school-independent framework to explain psychotherapy change processes taking into account their dynamic and complex nature is still lacking. Over the last years, several authors have suggested that a dynamic systems (DS) approach might provide such a framework. In the present paper, we review the main characteristics of a DS approach to psychotherapy. After an overview of the general principles of the DS approach, we describe the extent to which psychotherapy can be considered as a self-organizing open complex system, whose developmental change processes are described in terms of a dialectic dynamics between stability and change over time. Empirical evidence in support of this conceptualization is provided and discussed. Finally, we propose a research design strategy for the empirical investigation of psychotherapy from a DS approach, together with a research case example. We conclude that a DS approach may provide a meta-theoretical, school-independent framework allowing us to constructively rethink and enhance the way we conceptualize and empirically investigate psychotherapy.

The Principal Residence Exemption – Some Quirks
Author: Marco Jotic CPA, CGA
Editors: Peter Weissman FCPA, FCA, TEP and Matthew Cho CPA, CA, TEP
The principal residence exemption allows Canadians to reduce or eliminate Canadian income tax on gains resulting from the disposition of a home or vacation property a Canadian "ordinarily inhabits". Eligibility for the exemption is being scrutinized more than in the past, by the CRA.
The following is a brief discussion of two situations that could lead to unexpected consequences (both good and bad).
Portion of Property Qualifies as Principal Residence
The fact that a property has multiple uses may or may not affect its eligibility for the Principal Residence exemption. Duplexes are a good example.
In CRA Views in Focus, Conference, 2016-0625141C6 – Principal Residence-Duplex, the CRA was asked whether a duplex, where one unit was occupied by the owner and the other occupied by her parents, would be considered a principal residence. The two units were completely independent of each other with distinct addresses and separate hydro meters. The CRA concluded that each unit was a separate housing unit and only the unit occupied/"ordinarily inhabited" by the daughter qualified as her principal residence.
The parents were not able to use their principal residence exemption on the unit they lived in as they were not owners or co-owners of the duplex. The daughter did not have the ability to use her exemption on the unit occupied by her parents because she did not ordinarily inhabit that particular housing unit.
If the daughter and her parents required access to the entire property the conclusion might be different. In CRA Views in Focus, 2012-0445241E5 – Principal Residence, the CRA commented that where units of a duplex are integrated in a manner where access to one is a condition to the full enjoyment of the other, the units will be considered a single dwelling.
Renting to a Child
In CRA Views in Focus, 2015-0567791I7 – Exemption re: principal residence leased to a child, a taxpayer was able to designate a property he owned as his principal residence while it was rented to his child. This position was reiterated in CRA Views in Focus, Conference, 2016-0625161C6 – Principal Residence Rented by Child, where CRA was asked if a taxpayer can designate a property he owns as his principal residence even if it is being rented to his adult child at below fair market value. The CRA concluded that the taxpayer would be able to designate this property as his principal residence during such time.
The CRA came to this conclusion because, provided all other conditions are met, a property can be a principal residence if it is ordinarily inhabited by the taxpayer, his/her spouse or former spouse, or by his/her child. Parents are not included in the list and therefore, the daughter was not able to claim the exemption on the unit occupied by her parents in the duplex situation discussed above.
While the principal residence exemption is a common topic of discussion amongst taxpayers and advisors, there are still many small quirks that are known to few. If you have situations involving special cases dealing with the principal residence exemption, a Cadesky Tax representative would be happy to assist you.

About this session
Comprehensive cancer control programs and their partners play an essential role in reducing cancer risks and burdens in communities nationwide. These collaborations are even more critical as our nation continues to address the prolonged social, economic, and clinical care crises that remain in the wake of the CoVID-19 pandemic. The cancer control community adapted quickly as the crisis unfolded and worked in partnership with public health to reduce the threat of the virus for people with cancer while continuing to provide the best possible support and care to those who needed it most. In a post-COVID-19 world, these same partnerships will be key in sustaining the gains in cancer prevention and control.

HANNITY: Hunter Biden Investigation 'Is Not Going Away'
Sean Hannity weighed-in Thursday night on Hunter Biden's escalating China scandal; saying probes into former Vice President Joe Biden's son are "not going away" any time soon.
"The very same people who screamed 'Russia' for years may want to take a long look in the mirror… As we have long documented, the People's Republic of China is the most malignant government on Earth. That didn't stop Hunter Biden," said Hannity.
"He was begging for millions from a Chinese Energy company. We can report that Hunter's ex-business associates were looking for ways to 'Get Joe' involved in their China venture," he added. "This investigation is not going away."

'LAPTOP FROM HELL': Trump Demands Attorney General Barr 'Act Fast 'on Hunter Biden's Email Scandal
President Trump weighed-in Tuesday on the growing scandal surrounding Hunter Biden's recently released email; saying Attorney General Bill Barr must "act fast" to investigate the "laptop from hell."
"This is the laptop from hell," Trump said. "Even if he didn't get all of this money, you can't go to China and have the son walk out with $1.5 billion. … You can't go to Ukraine with $83,000 a month. … You can't get $3.5 million from the mayor of Moscow's wife."
"And you didn't have a job before your father was vice president," Trump continued. "You can't go and go with your father and every stop you make, you pick up $1 billion."
He added: "The vice president got a kickback, and everybody knows it, and they've known it a long time."
"We've got to get the attorney general to act," Trump said. "He's gotta act, and he's gotta act fast, and he's gotta appoint somebody."The president added: "This is major corruption, and we have to know about this before the election. The attorney general has to act."
'IT WAS WRONG': Twitter CEO Admits Banning Hunter Biden Laptop Story 'Was Wrong'
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted his company "was wrong" in censoring a New York Post story regarding Hunter Biden just days before the 2020 presidential election; saying the platform "corrected" the situation within 24 hours.
"That to me seems like you're the ultimate editor," committee chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said during his opening statement. "The editorial decision by the New York Post to run the story was overridden by Twitter and Facebook in different fashions to prevent its dissemination. Now if that's not making an editorial decision I don't know what would be."
"This incident demonstrated that we needed one and so we created one we believe is fair and appropriate," he said, referring to the company's new process in vetting posts.

It has becoming increasingly obvious -- to me, anyway! -- that the FINDERS miniseries I was planning is simply not going to come together. More reasons than I can count, but mostly other things (STAR TREK!) occupying my time. Plus my recently confessed lack of interest in drawing comics anymore. Maybe that interest will return, maybe not. Only time will tell.
Thing is, tho, there is an entire issue of FINDERS complete and in the drawer. What to do with it? Well, this is my solution: "serialize" it here in the JBF.
A couple of little problems with that idea, tho. One, it's not lettered, since lettering is rarely done on the boards these days. And second, it's in black and white, and there are several pages with rather important color element. Solution, then, run the script along with the pages -- sorry, gang, I just don't love you enough to put in the time and effort to letter the story (no volunteers, please!) -- and apply color, as in ANGEL: BLOOD AND TRENCHES, where needed.
I'm going to run a page a day for the next three weeks or so -- without attempting to convert it to "serial" form -- but to kick off, I'm starting with two pages, since not much happens on the splash. Oh, yeah, and I'm going to lock the thread each day, until the whole thing is "published." Then I will open the thread for comments.

3 NATHAN: I'd like you to SHOW her the ROPES.
2 NATHAN: Gower here is one of our TOP operatives.
4 CYNTHIA: Mrs. SMITH has told me ALL about Mr. BLAINE.
5 GOWER: Has she indeed?
7 GOWER: …and DENY EVERYTHING!
8 NATHAN: Gower, ALVIN is ready downstairs whenever you are.
9 NATHAN: Well, I leave you two to GET ACQUAINTED.
10 CYNTHIA: Thank you, Mr. Smith.
11 GOWER: So YOU'RE the new blood the office has been buzzing about for a WEEK.
12 GOWER: Cynthia, was it? Can I offer you a cup of COFFEE, Cynthia?
15 GOWER: So was I!
16 GOWER: And I'm sure we can find something much more INTERESTING than COFFEE.
17 CYNTHIA: Perhaps we need to come to an UNDERSTANDING, Mr. Blaine.
18 CYNTHIA: I know your REPUTATION, but I am here strictly to WORK.
19 CYNTHIA: Do. You. Understand. That?
1 CYNTHIA: Then I think we are going to get along just fine.
2 CYNTHIA: Now, where can I put my coat?
3 GOWER: The… employee locker room is just down the hall.
4 GOWER: But tell me, how did you get drawn into this little slice of WONDERLAND?
5 CYNTHIA: I was ADVANCED STUDIES at PRINCETON.
6 CYNTHIA: One day the DEAN called me into his office. He said he'd HEARD about… the THINGS I can DO.
8 GOWER: And it turned out to be Mrs. Smith.
9 CYNTHIA: Yes. Bethany. She had me come in for an interview.
10 CYNTHIA: Some tech types tested my… powers, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith offered me a place with the ORGANIZATION.
11 CYNTHIA: What about YOU?
12 CYNTHIA: I presume you also have some… SPECIAL ABILITIES?
14 GOWER: Strictly GUIDED MUSCLE.
15 GOWER: My job is to PROTECT the SPECIALS, like you.
19 ALVIN: I was just going to SEND for you.
20 ALVIN: Got a HOT one for you this morning.
21 ALVIN: Who's your friend? New blood?
4 ALVIN: Oh, please! Not so formal!
6 ALVIN: Anyway, Ms Carter, welcome to the HIVE.
7 ALVIN (off-panel, left): This is where all our busy little WORKER BEES make the MAGIC that makes this whole operation POSSIBLE.
9 ROSARIO: You're right on time, Al.
10 ROSARIO: This is the data. Just needs your SPECIAL TOUCH!
11 GOWER: You said this was a HOT one, Al?
12 ALVIN: Looks like. Been TRACKING bits and pieces since just after MIDNIGHT.
13 ALVIN: There you go. Close to home, too, for a CHANGE.
15 ALVIN (off-panel, right): Oh, and it looks like SHARON McALLISTER is on this one!
1 CYNTHIA (from car): We're almost there.
2 CYNTHIA: Are you going to tell me who Sharon McAllister is?
3 GOWER (from car): I used to be a COP.
4 GOWER: She used to be my PARTNER.
5 CYNTHIA: And that's all?
6 CYNTHIA: Nealy seemed to be… GOADING you.
8 GOWER: That's all that's RELEVANT to this CASE.
9 GOWER (from car): Cops are still here in FULL FORCE.
10 GOWER: Al was right -- this MUST be a HOT one.
11 CYNTHIA: Oh my god! The STENCH!
12 CYNTHIA: Do people really LIVE like THIS?
13 GOWER: Not by CHOICE, Princess.
14 GOWER: Mornin', Shar. Okay if WE take a LOOK around?
15 SHARON: If I said NO, would you LEAVE?
16 SHARON: I thought not.
18 SHARON: But be CAREFUL where you STEP.
19 SHARON: There's BLOOD EVERYWHERE.
20 CYNTHIA: No need for HYPERBOLE, Detective.
21 CYNTHIA: I've been BRIEFED on CRIME SCENE PROTOCOL.
1 SHARON: Well bully for you, Nancy Drew.
2 SHARON: But that wasn't hyperbole!
6 GOWER: Cut the kid a BREAK, Shar.
7 GOWER: You were FRESH out of the BOX yourself, once.
1 GOWER: You okay, Princess?
3 CYNTHIA: Oh, God! There wasn't anybody on the STAIRS, was there?
4 GOWER: Nothing to be embarassed about, kiddo.
5 GOWER: Here, have a drop of the TRUE. Steady your nerves.
8 SHARON: …do you MIND if we CONTINUE this investigation?
9 SHARON: I'd like to get HOME some time today!
10 SHARON: Are you about DONE, Dr. Ricardo?
12 RIC: It's gonna take WEEKS to sort this all out!
13 GOWER: What are you BAGGING, Ric?
14 GOWER: Is there more than just BLOOD?
15 RIC: A LOT more, Gow.
16 RIC: Like BONE CHIPS. Millions of them.
17 RIC: Not a ONE more than a QUARTER INCH long.
18 RIC: But THIS is the REAL puzzler.
19 RIC: What do you make of this blood-free pattern?
1 GOWER: Footprints. Adult Male. Child.
2 GOWER: Looks like the adult was standing over the child… threatening?
4 CYNTHIA: That could be a person sitting on the floor.
8 SHARON: Hold on. I KNOW the kind of WEIRDNESS Gower is mixed up in these days.
9 SHARON: Are you saying… a man… EXPLODED?
10 CYNTHIA: I… don't know.
12 GOWER: Like NOTHING anybody had ever HEARD before.
13 GOWER: You don't mind if we CANVAS the neighbors, Shar?
14 SHARON: Be my guest.
15 SHARON: You KNOW how HELPFUL they'll be!
16 GOWER: Yeah, well… we have a… slight ADVANTAGE.
17 SHARON: if you say so.
18 SHARON: And don't forget, Gower… next SATURDAY is the FIRST of the MONTH.
19 SHARON: THAT'S when the ALIMONY check is due!
1 OLD LADY: Go 'way!
2 OLD LADY: I TOL' you I got NOTHIN' t'say t'the PO-lice!
3 CYNTHIA: But we're NOT the police.
4 CYNTHIA: And you have NOTHING to fear from us.
6 OLD LADY: …an she'd only just got MALCOLM back from SOCIAL SERVICES….
7 OLD LADY: …after she tried to KILL HERSELF again, last year.
8 OLD LADY: SPROUSE was BEATIN' her again, I know, an' I heard somethin' go… POP!
9 CYNTHIA: And that was LATE last night?
10 GOWER: Did you hear anything ELSE?
11 GOWER: Like, AFTER the… "pop"?
12 OLD LADY: That POP was the WORS' sound I ever did hear. I didn't WANT to hear NOTHIN' after that!
13 OLD LADY: But I thought… maybe there was a SQUEAK on the FIRE ESCAPE.
1 GOWER: Yep… there's BLOOD here.
2 GOWER: Figures. Whoever was IN that room would have been just as COVERED as everything else.
3 CYNTHIA: They climbed to the roof?
4 CYNTHIA: Should we tell Detective McAllister?
5 GOWER: No. Like she said, this is one of OURS.
6 GOWER: Problem with that?
9 GOWER: The trail is running out.
10 GOWER: Not surprising, after climbing over HALF the ROOFTOPS in HARLEM!
11 GOWER: This is the end of it.
12 GOWER: And from HERE, they could have gone ANYWHERE.
13 CYNTHIA: I suppose we should head back to BASE, then.
15 BETHANY: This is SERIOUS.
1 GOWER: More serious than any of the other "specials" we've scooped over the years?
2 BETHANY: You've been with us for five years now, Blaine.
3 BETHANY: In that time, have you ever seen a FIRST MANIFESTATION that was so… VIOLENT?
4 BETHANY: This SPECIAL is POWERFUL and UNCONTROLLED.
5 BETHANY: Alvin… your thoughts?
6 ALVIN: I got NOTHIN', Boss.
7 ALVIN: Way I see it, the only way we have any hope of finding this one again is to… WAIT.
9 CYNTHIA: You don't mean… wait until this monster KILLS AGAIN?
10 GOWER: We try not to think of them as MONSTERS, Princess.
11 GOWER: And do you have a BETTER plan?
12 BETHANY: Unfortunately, there IS no better plan.
13 BETHANY: All we can do is HOPE the next incident leads to a SWIFT INTERCEPTION.
15 GOWER: On it, Boss.
17 CYNTHIA: I'll join you in a few minutes.
21 CYNTHIA: This won't take long.
1 ALVIN: …but I admit I don't really UNDERSTAND a lot of the company's PROPRIETORIAL technology.
2 ALVIN: And I don't think I'm SUPPOSED to!
6 GOWER: In HOBNAIL BOOTS!
8 CYNTHIA: I… asked Mrs. Smith some QUESTIONS.
10 GOWER: What did she…?
12 GOWER: Whatcha GOT, Al?
13 ALVIN: Something from your EX's department.
14 ALVIN: They are suddenly VERY interested in a Mrs. ESTELLE SALTER.
15 ALVIN: She seems to be the GRANDMOTHER of the woman who was renting the BLOOD BOX.
17 GOWER: Looks like this is going to CONTINUE your lesson in how the OTHER HALF lives, Princess.
18 GOWER: At least these folk know what TREES and GRASS look like.
1 CYNTHIA: No sign of life inside, though.
3 CYNTHIA: Where are you going?
4 GOWER: The left side of the house is BLOCKED with GARBAGE.
5 GOWER: We'll have to CIRCLE 'round.
6 GOWER: At least it's a LOW fence!
7 CYNTHIA: Isn't this TRESPASSING?
9 GOWER: Hello? Anybody home?
11 GOWER: Door's not LOCKED.
1 CYNTHIA (burst- overlaps top of SFX on page): GOWER!!
2 MOTHER: Get out! Both of you GET OUT!

8 CYNTHIA: There! Isn't that BETTER?
9 CYNTHIA: Now, come and sit down. We only want to ask you some QUESTIONS.
10 GOWER: Like… have you seen your GRANDDAUGHTER lately?
12 MOTHER: I hadn't seen her since MALCOLM was born.
2 CAPTION: "…lookin' like nothin' I ever seen on God's Earth!
4 CAPTION: "…but she managed to tell me what had happened.
5 CAPTION: "While the whole time Malcolm hung onto her like he was a drownin' man an' she was a piece of driftwood.
6 CAPTION: "It started with that no-good she'd hooked up with. Crauss.
7 CAPTION: "He came home just before midnight last night.
8 CAPTION: "He was drugged out of his mind.
9 CAPTION: "In a RAGE.
10 CAPTION: "He hit her.
11 CAPTION: "Like he'd done so many times before.
12 CAPTION: "But this time it was DIFFERENT.
13 CAPTION: "This time Malcolm tried to PROTECT Ester.
1 CAPTION: "Crauss wasn't havin' NONE of that.
3 CAPTION: "…or he'd get SOME of the SAME.
4 CAPTION: "But Malcolm didn't MOVE.
1 CAPTION: "Then they RAN.
2 CAPTION: "Back ways. Hiding.
3 MOTHER: Till finally… they got here.
4 MOTHER: But I didn't know what to DO for them.
5 MOTHER: I didn't know what ANYBODY could DO!
7 CYNTHIA: Easy. WE can do something.
10 GOWER (from house): Damn.
12 CYNTHIA: Mrs. Salter… please. You have to LISTEN to me.
15 CYNTHIA: It you'll just TRUST us.
17 CYNTHIA: PLEASE Mrs. Salter! Just TELL me where they ARE!
1 GOWER: Oh, don't TELL me...!
2 CYNTHIA: A TRAP DOOR!
7 CYNTHIA: It's ALL RIGHT, Ester.
8 CYNTHIA: You and Malcolm are SAFE with us.
9 CYNTHIA: You. Are. SAFE. With. Us.
20 GOWER: Mrs. Salter! You try to DELAY them.
1 ESTER: They're at the BACK DOOR, too!
3 SHARON: What the HELL was THAT?
4 COP 1: Stay BACK, Lieutenant!
5 COP 1: We'll HANDLE this!
1 SHARON: What in the name of…??
4 CYNTHIA: Malcolm… You. Must. Not. Hurt. People.
5 CYNTHIA: Do you UNDERSTAND? Hurting people is BAD!
2 BUTLER (from house): I'm SORRY, sir, but Miss Carter is not HOME to VISITORS.
6 CYNTHIA: That's all right, Collins.
7 CYNTHIA: I'll SEE this gentleman.
8 GOWER: "Gentleman". A PROMOTION!
10 CYNTHIA: I'm not in the MOOD for CHIT CHAT, Gower.
11 CYNTHIA: Come into the drawing room.
12 CYNTHIA: …and as I have told Mrs Smith a DOZEN times, I am NOT coming back.
13 CYNTHIA: My… POWERS compelled that little boy to DESTROY himself and his mother.
14 CYNTHIA: How can I ever come back after THAT?
15 GOWER: How about if I tell you YOU didn't destroy ANYBODY?
1 GOWER: Oh, you saw them BLOW UP, sure. But you didn't CAUSE it.
2 GOWER: You were directing your POWER at the kid -- and HE wasn't the one that made things EXPLODE.
3 GOWER: It took a while, but the BOSSES finally got the whole story out of Mrs. Salter.
4 GOWER: Seems when Ester was just a girl… THINGS started HAPPENING.
5 CAPTION: "When she was FIVE, a SCHOOL BULLY suffered an ANEURISM on the playground.
6 CAPTION: "Later, a TEACHER she didn't like had a MASSIVE HEART ATTACK in class.
7 CAPTION: "And when Malcolm was just WEEKS old, his father… disappeared.
8 GOWER: Now we KNOW what HAPPENED to him.
9 GOWER: See, it was ESTER who had the power. Malcolm was just a FOCUS. Somehow he BOOSTED it, without knowing it himself.
12 CYNTHIA: How did Ester escape DETECTION up till now?
13 GOWER: The early cases were UNDETECTABLE.
14 GOWER: And she and Malcolm's father were on the BEACH at CONEY ISLAND when she DID AWAY with him.
15 GOWER: No WITNESSES, and the TIDE washed away the EVIDENCE.
16 GOWER: I guess we were just LUCKY there were no OTHER cases.
17 GOWER: But, c'mon, princess! Whaddaya say?
18 GOWER: I think me an' you make a pretty good TEAM.
19 GOWER: Come back to WORK!
20 CYNTHIA: On ONE condition.
21 CYNTHIA: PLEASE stop calling me "princess"!

What Monthly Marvel Comics You Should Read This September
BY Roman Colombo September 4, 2020September 4, 2020
This month for Marvel monthly single issues, we have a trifecta of #1s you should read. One should have come out in May, but then pandemic and movie schedule changes and something about murder hornet here we are. We're also getting the return of one of the biggest cult favorites at Marvel. Finally, another film-driven series, but more importantly, it's written by one of the best comic book writers. Also, at Marvel, we have one major event wrapping up and another just beginning. But in between Empyre and X of Swords (I almost wrote Empyre of Swords, which should be a series), there are all the other comics worth reading. For the events, look at the checklists we've put together. For now, let's look at the awesome Marvel monthly comics you should read this September.
Black Widow #1
Getting classic spy thriller vibes from this. (Marvel Comics)
We should be watching Black Widow on home release right now—but we're still waiting to see it in theaters this November, hopefully. In the meantime, we'll have Kelly Thompson and Elena Casagrande's Black Widow series. Thompson is one of the fasted-rising stars in comics. Her Captain Marvel series features some of the best Carol Danvers work yet. Her new Deadpool ongoing manages to explore new directions for Wade Wilson while being a true-to-form Deadpool narrative. And her pre-Dawn of X writing like Mr. and Mrs. X. She's the perfect writer for Black Widow. And Casagrande? A great Catwoman artist? Selina Kyle is basically DC's Natasha Romanov, so the pairing is perfect. So, if you read one monthly issue from Marvel Comics this September, make sure it's Black Widow…and the next two. And everything in the checklists.
Writer: KELLY THOMPSON
Artist: ELENA CASAGRANDE
Release Date: September 2nd
Official Solicitation:
KELLY THOMPSON. BLACK WIDOW. 'NUFF SAID! Best-selling, Eisner–nominated writer Kelly Thompson (CAPTAIN MARVEL, STAR) and rising star artist Elena Casagrande (Catwoman) launch a new BLACK WIDOW series that changes everything! Natasha Romanoff has been a spy almost as long as she's been alive. And she's never stopped running, whether she was working for the good guys…or the bad. But Natasha's world is about to be upended. Beyond San Francisco's Golden Gate lies a mystery that only the Marvel Universe's greatest spy can solve. Don't miss the heartbreaking thrill ride of 2020!
Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 (of 4)
I have faith in Spidey…but not that much. (Marvel Comics)
Back in October, prior to this new mini-series, Marvel Zombies returned in the One-Shot Resurrection. Now they're being re-resurrected. In Marvel Zombies: Resurrection, Zombie-Galactus arrives at Earth and spreads an undead virus. In this situation, it's up to Spider-Man to save the world. However, with such a short series, it's always tempting to wait for the trade. But aside from a fun monthly comics you should read regardless, there's a good reason to collect each monthly issue of Marvel Zombies: Resurrection. In-Hyuk Lee's outstanding covers. If it's ever possible to call zombies beautiful, Lee makes it so.
Writer: PHILLIP K. JOHNSON
Artist: LEONARD KIRK
THE MARVEL ZOMBIES RISE AGAIN! When the corpse of Galactus reaches planet Earth carrying a cannibalistic virus, Spider–Man and a ragtag group of heroes struggle to save survivors and uncover the truth!
Shang-Chi #1 (of 5)
Coolest. Pet. Ever. (Marvel Comics)
Three words. Gene Luen Yang. 楊謹倫. For his original graphic novel American Born Chinese, Yang won an Eisner and a Michael L. Printz Award. The graphic novel was also named the best comic of the year (Publisher's Weekly, Amazon.com), Best Book of the Year (San Francisco Chronicle, The Chinese American Librarians Association), and landed on several top ten lists.
Additionally, Yang is the first comic book writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship. Also known as the "Genius Grant"), he received it because his work "demonstrates the potential of comics to broaden our understanding of diverse cultures and people." And now, he's writing one of the most popular Chinese superheroes, Shang-Chi. If you need more reasons that you should read each monthly issue of Shang-Chi, remember that a limited series can become ongoing, so buy each issue and tell Marvel Comics that you want a Shang—Chi ongoing
Also—this is the same author who wrote the fantastic Superman Smashes the Klan. So, there's a third reason.
Writer: GENE LUEN YANG
Artists: DIKE RUAN and PHILLIP TAN
Release Date: September 30th
THE MASTER RETURNS! An ancient and evil secret society has stayed in hiding since the death of their leader, Zheng Zhu. But now his successor has been chosen to shift the balance of power in the world – Zheng Zhu's son, Shang-Chi! Witness the Marvel Universe's greatest fighter return to a world of death and destruction he thought he left behind long ago – and discover the secrets to Shang-Chi's past that will change his world forever. Don't miss out on this epic tale of family, betrayal and justice as the incredible team of Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese), Dike Ruan (SPIDER-VERSE, BLACK CAT) and Philip Tan (UNCANNY X-MEN) launch a new chapter in the legend of Shang-Chi!

President Trump Says He's Looking Into Breaking Up Wall Street Banks
President, his staff have indicated support for a new version of the depression-era law that separated consumer lending and investment banking
President Donald Trump told Bloomberg, 'There's some people that want to go back to the old system, right? So we're going to look at that.'

President Donald Trump turned his attention to breaking up Wall Street banks on Monday, a campaign promise that has yet to materialize despite frequent chatter on the subject.
Financial stocks were little changed after President Trump said he is actively considering splitting apart giant U.S. banks.
"I'm looking at that right now," Mr. Trump told Bloomberg. "There's some people that want to go back to the old system, right? So we're going to look at that."
Financial stocks in the S&P 500 initially pared gains on Mr. Trump's comments, then recovered and were up 0.9% in recent trading—outperforming the S&P 500, which was up 0.3%. The muted reaction wasn't surprising, said Mohit Bajaj, director of ETF trading solutions at brokerage WallachBeth Capital.
"You get this initial knee-jerk reaction and then people dust it off," Mr. Bajaj said. "It's just Trump being his typical self. You hope that some things are true and some things are false, but you don't know if he really means what he says." With Mr. Trump providing few other details, Mr. Bajaj said it was difficult to assess how much weight to put in the comments.
Goldman Sachs Embraces Banking's Bland Side
Trump Vows to Ease Regulations for Community Banks
Mnuchin Backs '21st-Century Glass-Steagall' for Banks (Jan. 19)
GOP Platform Calls for Revival of Glass-Steagall (July 19)
The Secret History of Glass-Steagall (July 19)
Bank stocks have been among the biggest beneficiaries of perceptions that Mr. Trump will improve economic growth, in part by loosening regulations on banks. In recent weeks, some obstacles to implementing that agenda have materialized, cooling off the bank-stock rally that started after the U.S. election.
The Republican party in its 2016 platform and Mr. Trump while on the campaign trail promised to restore a version of the Glass-Steagall Act, a law repealed in 1999 that separated traditional commercial banking from investment banking. Administration officials including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Gary Cohn, director of the White House National Economic Council, also have expressed support for the idea.
At his confirmation hearings in January, Mr. Mnuchin, then a nominee for Treasury secretary, said the Trump administration would consider supporting a major restructuring of the largest U.S. banks as it reviews proposals for changing the financial regulatory system.
"The administration will look at Glass-Steagall, and what I referred to as the 21st-century Glass-Steagall as part of regulatory reform," Mr. Munchin told the Senate Finance Committee at the time.
While he avoided specific policy commitments, Mr. Mnuchin espoused a general philosophy that mingling bank lending with other activities, such as complex mortgage securities, could have risky implications.
The White House hasn't put forth a specific proposal, however, and so far there appears to be little support among Republicans in Congress for such a move.
Bankers meanwhile have been skeptical about how breakups would work. "Anytime I hear this term '21st-century Glass-Steagall,' I ask what it is, and I have yet to have anybody really tell me," said Citigroup Inc. CEO Michael Corbat last month.
"And I have yet to have anybody really explain to me what value there is" in reinstating the law, he added. "So, we continue to ask about it, but not necessarily be that focused on it."

A seductive vision of the future from the most promising firm in China led by Ma Yansong, an important voice in the new generation of architects.
Conceived and designed by Ma Yansong, founder of MAD Architects, MAD Rhapsody documents the buildings of this avant-garde architecture firm and traces the development of their ideas through associated practice including art, research, and exhibition projects. With photographs, drawings, and models, the book highlights 23 projects from the past six years, both built and in process. Known for their "organic and dreamlike architecture" that creates a dialogue with nature, earth, and sky, MAD projects reach all over the globe.
At age 46, Ma Yansong is one of China's best-known architects. His curvilinear, free-form, and futuristic designs are often compared to those of his mentor, Zaha Hadid. Ma's greatest inspiration is nature; his opera house in the northern Chinese city of Harbin resembles a snow-capped mountain, while his master plan for the city of Nanjing calls for sloping buildings covered with vertical louvers that resemble waterfalls. Other projects include the Ordos Museum in the wilderness of Inner Mongolia, the Absolute Towers in Canada, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.
