Man Pleads Guilty to Stealing $282,670 from Former Employer
Approved Payments to Fake Web Security Company
WASHINGTON – William Robinson, 41, a former employee of a non-profit corporation that advocates for policies related to safe food, safe drinking water, and the climate, pled guilty to the interstate transportation of funds stolen from the non-profit corporation.
The announcement was made by Acting U.S. Attorney Michael R. Sherwin, and James A. Dawson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office's Criminal Division.
Robinson pled guilty today via videoconference in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before the Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson to a one-count Information charging him with Interstate Transportation of Stolen Property. Robinson is scheduled to be sentenced on March 2, 2021. The charge carries a maximum penalty of up to ten years in prison. Robinson will also be required to pay restitution in the amount of $282,670 and a forfeiture money judgment.
According to the Statement of Offense, Robinson was initially hired by the non-profit corporation in 2012 as a web developer. After multiple promotions, he became its Chief Technology Officer in 2015. While working at the non-profit corporation, Robinson devised a scheme to defraud by creating Vulcan Network & Data Security, LLC ("Vulcan") and arranging a contract for Vulcan to provide web security services to his non-profit corporation employer. Robinson then created false invoices on behalf of Vulcan and submitted them to his employer's finance department, requesting payment for purported web security services, testing, and equipment. In reality, Vulcan never provided any services to the non-profit corporation, which was already paying a separate company for those services. From April 2017 to September 2019, Robinson submitted 13 false Vulcan invoices to his non-profit corporation employer. The non-profit corporation paid Vulcan a total of $282,670 for services never provided. Robinson received all of these funds and used them to pay for personal expenses.
For the last payment made to Vulcan in the course of this scheme, on October 11, 2019, Robinson asked the non-profit corporation's finance department to issue a check to Vulcan, along with two other unrelated checks, and give them to a particular employee so that Robinson could hand deliver them. Robinson offered that employee $50 to deliver the checks to him from Washington, D.C. to Springfield, Virginia. After the employee made the delivery, Robinson cashed the $22,500 check from Vulcan that same day.
In announcing the plea, Acting U.S. Attorney Sherwin and Special Agent in Charge Dawson commended the work of those who investigated the case from the FBI's Washington Field Office. They acknowledged the efforts of those who are handling the case from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, including Paralegal Specialists Quiana Dunn-Gordon, Amanda Rohde, and Michon Tart.
Finally, they commended the work of Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Macey, of the Fraud Section of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, who prosecuted the case.

Preparing to Fly
Bay to Beaches, Pronto! Southwest to Fly Nonstop b...
This morning, Southwest filed an application with the U. S. Department of Transportation to offer the first U.S. carrier nonstop service between Oakland International Airport and both San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, beginning in February 2017, subject to governmental approvals. Southwest Vice President Leah Koontz announced the proposed flights to gathered guests and media near our Oakland Ticket Counter. Leah shared that linking the San Francisco Bay Area to these popular Mexican beach resort areas with time-saving itineraries will bring our Customers low-fare and high-value service that is an exciting addition to our growing international portfolio. Additionally, Director of Aviation for the Port of Oakland shared that The Port is undertaking a major renovation of its Terminal One: a new security checkpoint and international check-in and arrivals area is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2017; a modernization and expansion of the airport's passenger federal inspection station (FIS) for U.S. Customs & Border Protection services is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2017. Southwest's continual investment, especially with new medium-haul and long-haul flights has made Oakland International the fastest growing major airport in California in terms of passengers. While we await DOT approval to offer our fares and flight schedule, we want to be the first to share exciting news—stay tuned to the Southwest blog where we'll share details as we receive them. ...

Out of the gate! Six International Destinations P...
We're excited to make it official today by filing to fly from our new international facility at Houston (Hobby) to four destinations in Mexico plus Costa Rica, and a new country for Southwest Airlines—Belize! The service to six destinations in three countries would begin in October 2015, subject to government approval: Cancun; Mexico City; Puerto Vallarta, and San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos, Mexico; San Jose, Costa Rica; and Belize City, Belize. Shortly after our legal team filed the paperwork with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Southwest's CEO Gary Kelly shared the news before a gathering of airline industry leaders, media, and financial analysts in New York: "Service to Mexico will be the cornerstone of our international operation at Hobby and the four cities we are announcing today provide exciting travel and business options for consumers. Adding Belize to the Southwest network and growing our Costa Rica service continues our expansion to international destinations where our People and consumer-friendly policies can deliver as no other airline can." These new flights will be possible after construction wraps up on a $156 million five-gate international concourse now taking shape at Hobby to increase capacity for all airport functions and add a Federal Inspections Services (FIS) facility for processing arriving international passengers. At the same time, the City of Houston is preparing for the new facility by improving surrounding infrastructure including a new parking facility, central utility plant, and roadway improvements throughout the Houston Hobby Airport district. More than 3,200 Southwest Employees are based in Houston, an original Southwest city that now supports the fifth busiest operation in our network of more than 90 airports across six countries, with approximately 150 departures a day from Houston (Hobby). ...

Southwest's Milwaukee All-Stars Get Some Relief Fr...
One of the great things about airports is people watching. Even if you're not into airplanes or the air travel experience, you're bound to see something or someone memorable on a trip to a busy terminal like Milwaukee's Mitchell International. And when you throw in the hometown fans' love of— alright, let's call it an obsession with— baseball and the Milwaukee Brewers, one group that showed up Tuesday afternoon to pinch hit for Southwest Employees didn't stand a chance of sliding in under the radar. It's the first time Southwest, Official Airline of the Milwaukee Brewers, has brought our beloved and successful Trading Places experience to Brewtown. For Yovani Gallardo and Jonathan Lucroy, it's also a first — having a hand in running the largest domestic airline in the country. "Let's begin pre-boarding for people who need extra time to get down the jetway," said Jonathan Lucroy at the mic of Gate D52. Just more than 12 hours earlier, he and teammate Gallardo were wrapping up extra innings at Miller Park. Gallardo and Lucroy had the insider, Southwest experience, doing what our Milwaukee Employees do so safely and predictably every day – bringing in an aircraft, off-loading baggage and cargo while Customers deplane above. Then, inside 25 minutes, reverse the whole process and get the outbound flight in the air, ontime. Of course, it's not every day that you have a Major League ballplayer take your boarding pass or help push a plane off the gate. Bernie the Brewer™ threw in his support and the The Famous Racing Sausages™ also cheered on the 25-minute turn. "I almost didn't know what to think," Southwest Customer Pat Pulaski said with a giant grin as he walked down the jet bridge. "On Southwest you know you're going to get good service and a low fare, but you're never quite sure what fun is going to happen. This is the best surprise ever!" Southwest flight 2146 to Tampa Bay pushed on-time. Nice job, guys! Now, imagine doing that successfully, 3,400 times each day across the Country. Our Pros make that look easy even on the toughest of days. "I'm going to ask them if they'd like to come back and work the ramp in January," said Doug Rutledge, Southwest's Milwaukee Station Leader, "and we'll go wrap up this homestand against the Giants. That sound fair? Ha!" For more photos of Trading Places: The Milwaukee Brewers and Southwest Airlines, please visit swamedia.com ... View more
Mitchell International
LAS-Based Captain Brad Burgmann loves Friday the 13th. No lie. And the date seems to love him, too. On his pre-flight PA this morning before a flight from New Orleans to Dallas, Burgmann took the mic with a smile in his voice to let our Customers know they were on the right flight to find some luck on this particular Friday. This Southwest Warrior was born on a Friday the 13th (of October) and has been hitting milestones on the dreaded day ever since: He got his first job sacking groceries in his Colorado hometown on a Friday the 13th in 1983; Three years later, he piloted his first solo flight on Friday the 13th; And his first promotion happened <wait for it> on the same day. It's a uniquely Western thing, by the way, this thought about Fridays the 13th forging an unlucky combination. The Spaniards and Greeks generally believe Tuesdays that fall on the 13th day of a month to be the most unfortunate. Many Italians believe Fridays the 17th to bring the most misfortune. Captain Brad, keep flying against the trend of perception and, by the way, congrats on your 13th year with the Company! Do you have a lucky 13 story to share? Let us know below. Good luck! ...

Trading Places: AirTran Employees & The Atlanta Fa...
It was all for the hometown fans—both those who cheer from their stadium seats and those who fill up our flights as loyal Customers. To surprise and delight both Employees and Customers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the Atlanta Falcons swooped in and traded places with some of our pros at ATL's gate C-16 Tuesday morning. This is the first time the successful and popular program launched by Southwest Airlines and its sports marketing partners has crossed into AirTran's airspace. Quarterback Matt Ryan led his teammates, cheerleaders, and Freddie the Falcon in turning out AirTran's 717, Falcon One, with some excellent Customer Service of their own. From the ticket counter, to the gate, to an onboard welcome and departure, the Falcons shared their smiles and personalities alongside our all-star Atlanta Employees. They spent some time on the ramp and in the Ground Operations tower learning the ins and outs of the many jobs that make their Official Airline the Low Fare Leader in Atlanta. Ryan might throw long, but he pushed the flight on time, and those Customers arrived early in Philadelphia. ... View more
More Than a Pitchman: Herb's Latest Honor Speaks t...
In this momentous year of reflection and celebration for anyone who holds LUV for Southwest, advertisers had their say, too, recently inducting our Chairman Emeritus into the American Advertising Federation's Hall of Fame. Forty years after Southwest's first ads beckoned our first Customers, Herb Kelleher entered the Hall of Fame with seven other legendary advertisers, including Bill Cosby, at a ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. No surprise, Herb took a bottle of Wild Turkey whiskey to the podium as he accepted the honor with a humility and humor-filled speech that brought down the house: "Aside from being the spitting image of Jon Hamm, the star of (television's hit show set in a New York advertising firm in the 1960s) Mad Men, I have wondered why I'm up here? A question, by the way, that all of the other honorees this evening have asked me. I suspect it might be because Southwest has long been a passionate devotee of the power of advertising—we would be long dead without it…" "We've been a pioneer in breaking through clutter with fun ads, utilizing our own, wonderful Employees being themselves. We've also made sure that our ads never over-promise and that they positively reinforce our somewhat irreverent Culture. Our truly superb and exceptionally able Employees see and hear them, too." A short video produced by the creative genius at GSD&M, Southwest's agency for more than thirty years, showcased some of the most memorable "Herb ads" in the Southwest vault. Roy Spence (the "S" in GSD&M) nominated and introduced Herb as a business visionary, a tenacious competitor and a commanding general in the fight to democratize the skies. "Our advertising is successful because it's true, it's reflective of our Company's pillars of having fun while taking our Customer Service very seriously, and because those things have been consistently true through decades of Southwest history," Herb said in an interview just before the ceremony. "Advertising put Southwest on the map." Gary and other Officers and Employees who worked alongside Herb to build Southwest's strong Brand through the years were on hand for the big night. Congratulations, again, Herb! ... View more

What a Week—Marking Quite a First Year in Milwauke...
When Carol Desoto walked off one of our BWI to MKE flights en route to her parent's 60th wedding anniversary weekend on October 29, she didn't quite know what had hit her. Sure, she had heard from the Flight Attendants on the inbound flight that Milwaukee's first-ever "Eight Millionth Passenger" was going to be recognized in a big way. But the TV cameras, the lights, the balloons, and two Southwest tickets she was handed for simply walking into the record books by buying a low-fare and flying her favorite airline, it was something to behold. It's been fun to watch so many Coworkers at Southwest also get their first taste of Milwaukee in the year since our first flights landed and took off from General Mitchell International Airport, November 1, 2009. I was just like them, having imagined one thing and then found something totally different. Not better, not worse—just different. The bones of heavy industry are still everywhere, framing decades of economic success with impressive monuments to old world architecture. The locals know, however, what everyone else soon feels—energy that is so new, so unbridled. And for Southwest, on the cusp of a new chapter in our history, that promise is equally limitless. The energy around the airport this week was a lot like that great weekend in which we introduced our Brand and SOUTHWEST SPIRIT to Wisconsin with a tailgate watching party that they're still talking about! Besides recognizing the milestone eight millionth Customer (appropriately, she was aboard one of our flights that's helped generated so much traffic for the airport), our Culture team did their best to make sure everyone felt the LUV. They served food to our Employees and treated them to free chair massages and commemorative photos of the anniversary. For Customers moving on and off our flights, we had coffee, bagels, and cookies—and a few chair massages, too. It's been a great week to look back on how our Employees constantly deliver with great Customer Service everyday at MKE. Congratulations to you all on a great, first year. First down and many more to go! ... View more

Good Morning From the Information Superskyway!
There's a different blue glow in the pre-dawn sky over Texas this morning. It's the diamond light of productivity from internet-connected laptops and smart phones aboard Southwest Airlines flight 1 between Dallas Love Field and Houston Hobby Airport. I started this blog from my middle seat at 33-thousand feet with both my MacBook and iPhone tethered to the internet as we speed toward the Texas Gulf Coast. "This is cool!" I heard Gary Tsatch say as he enabled wi-fi connectivity on his iPhone. All the while, he remained in 'airplane mode' while firmly planted in his comfy aisle seat. ( Cellular technology is not compatible with the internet service offered by Row 44, Southwest Airlines' partner in this first-of-its-kind offering of satellite-based internet service on a major US airline. ) Tsatch, who commutes three or four times monthly to manage databases for clients across Texas and Oklahoma, was pleased to learn he was experiencing another first in the sky. "I was onboard the first 727 from DFW to LAX with Airphone technology back in the 1980s," said Tastch. Other US airlines which have recently begun offering wi-fi service on select routes and limited aircraft rely on those same land-based towers to get connected. As we passed through 10-thousand feet elevation, most of us sitting on the aircraft quickly grabbed our technology of choice to take advantage of the new wi-fi offering. The system was working overtime to keep up but as soon as it kicked in so did we and..there was no looking back for the Customers onboard. I managed several e-mail replies and letters during the 44 minute flight. "Anytime I can knock out e-mails and take care of things if I have a few minutes of downtime, it saves interruptions later," Tsatch conferred with a colleague in the seat in front of him, who was also online. Southwest Airlines is testing the service pending FCC approval and is currently offering it to Customers free of charge on one 737-700 aircraft. By early March, four of Southwest Airlines' aircraft will be internet-capable. ... View more

Poll: Major parties less popular as more Americans identify as independent
By Ray Downs
Voters fill out their ballots at Mt. Vernon Center in Alexandria, Va., November 8, 2016. After the 2016 election, more Americans identify as independent, according to a Gallup poll. File Photo by Molly Riley/UPI | License Photo
Jan. 8 (UPI) -- An increasing number of Americans identified as independent voters in 2017 while the two major parties are near their all-time low in popularity, according to a Gallup poll.
The poll found that the percentage of Americans who identified as political independents last year increased to 42 percent from 39 percent during the 2016 presidential election year. The percentage of independents increased for the first time since 2014, when the number hit an all-time high of 43 percent.
"The dip in independent identification in 2016 and recovery in 2017 is a typical pattern for a presidential election year and the year after," Gallup said. "Latent partisanship in some independents is likely activated in the highly political environment of a presidential campaign, but fades once the election is over."
But a three-percentage point increase is higher than usual.
"The average over the past eight presidential elections has been a one-point increase, although the increase has tended to be larger since 2005," Gallup said.
The percentage of Americans who identify as independent is near its all-time high and remains the most popular political preference while neither of the major parties appear to be gaining in popularity.
The percentage of Americans who identify as Democrats fell to 29 percent, which tied the party's all-time low it hit in 2015.
Americans who identify as Republicans slipped to 27 percent, which is only two points above its all-time low of 25 percent from 2013.

Q: resolv.conf search domain not working on OS X I use network setup to modify my search domains which works fine so far, but it only does it per device. Once I VPN somewhere, it no longer uses those changes. Is there a way to set the search domains globally (ie. for every device: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and VPN) on Mac OS X Lion?

A: There was a similar issue in 2002 with OS X. I found a few articles about it and I've been able to address this issue by simply adding "local" to the Search Domains in the advanced network properties of my network interface. This has allowed those of connecting via VPN to resolve .local hosts.

A: Why not just add it to the adapter in question? i.e. ethernet or Wi-Fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14159
Per: https://web.archive.org/web/20150227052942/http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14159

For example, if you specify the search domain apple.com, typing "store" in your web browser takes you to store.apple.com. Or, if you use campus.university.edu as a search domain, you can type "server1" in the Connect To Server dialog in the Finder to connect to server1.campus.university.edu.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) in the list, then click Advanced.
Click DNS, then click Add (+) at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the DNS server.
Click Add (+) at the bottom of the Search Domain list and enter the search domain, for example, apple.com.

When you're finished, click OK.
Domains are searched in the order you list them, and the search stops when a valid name is found.

To search a name hierarchy, use search domains of varying scope. For example: building.campus.university.edu, campus.university.edu, and university.edu.

com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist can be overwritten by something else/update and you will forget it.  The url above is the "supported" way to add the domain search path to the DNS query.

A: If you want a strict command line solution, you can add the search domains manually to each adapter/service.

*

*List all networkservices to get the common names:
$ networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Wi-Fi
FT232R USB UART
Thunderbolt Bridge
Thunderbolt Ethernet

*Check the current searchdomain setting on the device you want to update (You must fully quote devices with spaces in the names):
$ networksetup -getsearchdomains "Thunderbolt Ethernet"
yourdomain.com
yourdomain.lan

*Then add the searchdomains you want where they are missing:
$ networksetup -setsearchdomains "Wi-Fi" yourdomain.com yourdomain.lan

The Angry Gorilla: Emotion is your choice.
I threw myself into my chair, threatening to topple it over in the process. I glared sightlessly at my computer monitor. I was too agitated to even scan my recent emails. It was all I could do to not grab the monitor and throttle it like I wanted to throttle Bob's snake-like next. Finally I calmed down enough to scoop my battered notebook up off the floor.
Hogarth just sat there, unblinking. His placid face betrayed no hint of emotion.
I grunted and turned to my computer. I might as well get some work done.
Hogarth didn't respond. He just laid his hands in thighs and cocked his head to the side.
Hogarth just looked at me.
So the stress and conflict are part and parcel to the job we do. What we do about it though, is completely in our control.
Stephen Covey says in 7 habits of a Highly Effective Person "Between stimulus and response, lies the ability to choose." It is the kind of phrase you might expect from a Zen master or Yoda and in his own ways, Covey is the Jedi teacher of business. It's an incredibly simple concept and as powerful as it is simple.
We project managers are bombarded from a hundred different angles every single day. We face reluctant teams, self centered sales reps, political managers, oblivious executives and more. At least that's what we tend to describe them as when in reality we are dealing with teams that are unsure of next steps or feeling insecure with their positions, sales reps that are paid to make sales and if they don't they don't get paid, managers who recognize business is a series of give and takes and executives that must make a hundred decisions a day to keep the company moving and you probably are only aware of three of those.
Human nature is pretty quick to assign emotional content to everything. Being an effective project manager means focusing not on the emotions but on the behaviors. Behaviors are the words one says, how one says them (tone and inflection), facial expressions, body language, and work product (timeliness, quality, documents, delivery, etc.).
Bob's slouching in the meeting, that must mean he doesn't care about the project. No, what it means is Bob got two hours of sleep last night because his son fell off the porch and broke his arm. Bob was in the ER until two in the morning.
Mary just wrinkled her nose. She thinks your idea is horrible. No, Bob smells like a sweat sock and Mary has a really sensitive nose.
Once we recognize that we should be looking at people's behaviors, without assigning emotional bias, then we have to start working on our own response. Maybe Bob did intend to completely undercut you and hog all the glory. Is slamming your door and breaking your desk going to make things better? Will your boss blame Bob for having to shell out money for a new computer monitor? More importantly, will anyone want to work with you? Bob may have been underhanded and greedy, but you are the one and only person responsible for your response to his actions.
Being a great project manager means taking the high road, a lot.

This is likely to increase the number of bone graft surgery procedures, consequently propelling the global bone grafts and substitutes market. Based on product, the global bone grafts and substitutes market has been categorized into allografts, synthetic bone grafts, and xenografts. The allograft segment has been further divided into demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and others.
In terms of material, ceramic-based is an emerging segment of the bone grafts and substitutes market. The segment is likely to hold a major market share, due to a rise in the adoption of technologically advanced products by surgeons. The cell-based segment is likely to expand at a significant CAGR. This is because cell-based assays are relatively easy to use, reproducible, inexpensive, and do not involve the suffering of animals. Moreover, cell-based bone graft substitutes are easily adopted by body and have shown potential results.
In terms of end-user, the global bone grafts and substitutes market has been categorized into hospitals, orthopedic clinics, and others. The hospitals segment held a major share of the global market in 2017. Expansion of the segment can be attributed to the availability of multiple service options and devices and tie-ups with health care companies in order to enhance health care products and service offerings. Moreover, hospitals are the preferred choice for patients due to the availability of advanced technology and better health care services. The orthopedic clinics segment is expanding at a high growth rate, especially in developed economies, due to a rise in the geriatric population and the development of health care infrastructure and support. A rise in demand for bone grafts and substitutes in orthopedic clinics during medical emergencies is projected to drive the segment.
In terms of region, the global bone grafts and substitutes market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the global bone grafts and substitutes market in 2017. In terms of revenue, the market in North America was valued at US$ 1.6 Bn in 2017.This is due to a highly developed health care sector, increase in awareness among health care providers about bone grafts and substitutes, and continuous evolution of bone grafts and substitutes. This region offers significant opportunity to the bone grafts and substitutes market. The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. The market in Asia Pacific is likely to be driven by factors such as a rise in the ability of patients to pay for treatment, increase in medical tourism due to low cost of synthetic bone grafts in the region, and a rapidly increasing geriatric population. Moreover, expansion of the health care sector in countries such as China, Japan, and India offers significant potential to the market in the region. Additionally, technological advancements and increase in the rate of adoption of bone grafts and substitutes products are expected to propel the market in the region during the forecast period.
The global bone grafts and substitutes market is highly fragmented. A number of players provide different products. Key players in the global bone grafts and substitutes market include AlloSource, DePuy Synthes, Integra LifeSciences, NuVasive, Inc., Stryker, Wright Medical Group N.V., XTANT MEDICAL, Zimmer Biomet, Baxter Healthcare Corporation, and Medtronic. Expansion of the product portfolio through mergers and acquisitions is a key strategy followed by several global players.

Block.one pays $24m to settle SEC ICO dispute
The SEC finds that Block.one violated the registration provisions of the federal securities laws, resulting in a $24 million civil monetary penalty.
By Asha Barbaschow | October 1, 2019 -- 04:58 GMT (21:58 PDT) | Topic: Legal
Blockchain company Block.one has reached a civil settlement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to an unregistered initial coin offering (ICO) it undertook in 2017-18.
In a statement, Block.one said it would pay a $24 million fine whilst "neither admitting nor denying the SEC's findings".
The settlement relates specifically to the ERC-20 tokens that Block.one sold on the Ethereum blockchain between 26 June 2017 and 1 June 2018. The SEC said the unregistered ICO raised the equivalent of several billion dollars over the period in question.

Block.one's offer and sale of 900 million tokens began shortly before the SEC released the DAO Report of Investigation, which confirmed that issuers of distributed ledger or blockchain technology-based securities are required to register offers and sales of such securities.
The company offered and sold the tokens for nearly a year after the report's publication and eventually raised several billion dollars' worth of digital assets globally, including a portion from US investors.
According to the SEC, Block.one did not register its ICO as a securities offering during this time, nor did it qualify for or seek an exemption from the registration requirements.
"Block.one did not provide ICO investors the information they were entitled to as participants in a securities offering," co-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement Steven Peikin said. "The SEC remains committed to bringing enforcement cases when investors are deprived of material information they need to make informed investment decisions."
The SEC's order found that Block.one violated the registration provisions of the federal securities laws.
The ERC-20 token is no longer in circulation or traded, and Block.one has said it will not require the token to be registered as a security with the SEC.
"We are excited to resolve these discussions with the SEC and are committed to ongoing collaboration with regulators and policy makers as the world continues to develop more clarity around compliance frameworks for digital assets," the company wrote.
"The extraordinary success story of America is in part built upon its rich history of supporting entrepreneurship and emerging technologies, and we encourage and applaud the efforts of entrepreneurs and leaders from tech, finance, and other industries who are striving to make the US an environment where technology can advance and thrive in a predictable and inclusive way."
Block.one said the SEC had granted a "waiver" to it, which according to the company means it will not be subject to certain ongoing restrictions that "would usually apply with settlements of this type".
"Block.one believes the SEC's granting of this waiver evidences Block.one's continuing commitment to compliance and best practices in the United States and globally," it said.
See also: These are the warning signs of a fraudulent ICO
The settlement, the company said, resolves all ongoing matters between Block.one and the SEC.
"Blockchain's ability to better align organisations with their consumers, increase the transparency of critical database infrastructure, and better distribute value and wealth throughout society remains our company's focus, and we will continue to fight for the development of our industry to achieve as much alignment around policy and best practices as possible," Block.one continued.
"As always, we are humbled by, and thankful for, the community support that enables everything we do."
Last year, a New York judge ruled that ICOs fell under securities law and, therefore, SEC could go after scammers.
In May last year, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) lost its group executive of financial services and chief financial officer Rob Jesudason, after he announced that he would join Block.one.
At the time, Jesudason jointed the blockchain firm as its group president and chief operating officer, and also as a member of Block.one's board of directors.
He was charged with the responsibility of "scaling the group's global operations".

Woolly rhinoceros – Reproduction – Coelodonta antiquitatis
Home / Full / Woolly rhinoceros – Reproduction – Coelodonta antiquitatis
The woolly rhinoceros was a large rhinoceros species characterized by a thick woolly fleece which protected from the cold regions where it lived and by the presence of two horns on its muzzle. It lived in the cold steppes that covered the Pleistocene much of Eurasia.
At its peak, less than 30,000 years ago, it was found from the center of Spain and the South of England to Mongolia and southern Siberia. Its closest relative among current rhino is the Sumatran rhino, small and hairy, which still survives today in Indonesia, but the species is highly endangered.
Unlike that of Sumatra, this species was robust and tall; a little larger than the African white rhino, it measured 1.6 to 2 meters tall at the shoulder and up to 3.5 meters long, and weighs 2 to 3 tons.
Some attribute their disappearance around 8000 BC, the fact that they were hunted by prehistoric man. Others find purely climatic reasons because the occasions when this species was hunted by Neanderthals or representatives of our species were infrequent, given the dangerousness of this animal.

Welcome to the super-duper Dag site for
LINKS TO DAGS' FILMS
*** OK now that you're here where should you go next? ***
DMFilms (my film making site)
The Dags Live Journal (my old blog which I no longer update)- Note: this will take you to another site
My Batman collection (a page devoted to my Batman merchandise collection)
Daggy Bits (the name says it all)
The Geoffro Page (a page devoted to my best mate Geoffro)
Who is Dags? (details on what makes The Dags ... so daggy)
*** A quick summary overview of The Dags ***
Dags is a mega cool dude who resides in Melbourne, Australia. Although generally unknown to world at large (for now), he does have some small claims to fame.
Aside from once being a serious Batman merchandise collector (refer to the Batman Collection page for more details), Dags has been involved in his local Science Fiction fan community since 1984 which has seen him run his own conventions; edit both his own and other fan club newsletters; make his own award winning costumes; produce and direct his own fan film; and he once even ran his own club - so you can kinda say he's been around a bit. If you want to see a comprehensive list of what The Dags has been up to, just go here.
Dags was also a co-founder of Star Walking Inc: the Star Wars Appreciation Society of Australia back in 1988 and was on the committee of this club for 23 years before retiring in 2011 ... only to return in 2013 (thanks to Disney's takeover of Lucasfilm) and retiring again in 2017 making a total of 27 years service!
One of Dags' biggest achievements was editing 37 issues of the club's monthly newsletter The Force which he successfully turned into an all-digital publication in 2014.
Being involved with Star Walking meant Dags was able to achieve a lot in the Star Wars fan community, including:
- Visiting Skywalker Ranch in 1993 (look there he is! Second from the left)
- Appear on TV game shows, such as Family Feud TWICE (2008 and 2017) and WINNING on both occasions too no less, as well as 1 vs 100
- Appears monthly as one of the four presenters on the almost world famous Star Wars podcast Star Talking
- March in the 2009 Moomba parade as a Star Wars character (though just quietly, he also marched in the parade as a Star Trek character back in 1987, shhh)
- Help organise a large number of Star Wars conventions and themed banquets
- Appear in a number of costumed product launches and gala events
- Appear in the internationally released Star Wars documentary The Phandom Menace which presented The Dags with his first entry onto the IMDB.
But the life of The Dags doesn't just revolve solely around Star Wars oh no, no, no. As it turns out The Dags is also a big Star Trek fan and has been involved in his local Star Trek fan club Austrek since 1984! In fact The Dags is the club's longest serving active participant - as in attending meetings on a regular basis - and for this reason he was made a Life Member back in 2016 ... but don't panic 'cause The Dags was made a Life Member of Star Walking years before that.
But let's move away from the Sci-Fi community for a tick.
From 2004 to 2012 The Dags pursued one of his greatest passions, film making under the banner of DMFilms. It was this interest which eventually led him to start up his own corporate video making business Lights Camera Action Productions in 2018.
It was his passion for films which allowed The Dags to create a number of short films whilst helping others with their productions as well - including some professionally paid ones.
Want to see a classic Dags production? Well just get a look at this... (running time 5 mins)
and there's this... (running time 7 mins)
and if you haven't had enough yet, then try this... (running time 6 mins)
If you're keen to see more Daggy productions, then just go to the DMFilms website
Since completing his film making endeavours in 2012, The Dags focused his energy on running Science Fiction conventions such as Con 9 From Outer Space in 2012, Con 70 - A Retro Sci-Fi Adventure in 2015 and Con 80: The Ultimate 1980s Sci-Fi Experience in 2017. Honestly, where did he find the time!
Now because The Dags has been actively involved in the local Science Fiction fan community for soooo long (over 35 years and counting), for the past few years he's been writing his fandom memoirs, the idea being to recount as much of Dags' fandom history as possible for prosperity. It'll definitely make for an interesting read when finished that's for sure.
And last, but certainly not least, after achieving everything listed above The Dags felt he still had some creative talent left in his aging body so he decided to produce his own Science Fiction talk show. Sci-Fi Zone (or The Zed as it's commonly known) was a passion project for Dags as it allowed him to talk about all facets of the Science Fiction genre as inspired by his previous conventions.
In his normal life (yes believe it or not he does have one), The Dags lives in a modest three bedroom home which contains a room full of Batman merchandise, 2 lounge suites, his wonderful other half (Lynne) and his adorable cat (Lulu).
Blessed with an array of great friends and supporters, Dags acknowledges the three loves of his life - besides Lynne and Lulu:
1) His house (officially named Sylvia but more commonly known as The Dag House)
2) His bed - as Dags says "I never met a sleep-in I didn't like"
3) The Sci-Fi fan community - which has has truly shaped him into the Dag he is today.
Now there's a lot more exciting stuff to say about our ever popular Dags, but we suggest you check out the Who is Dags section of this site for that.

Outsmart your migraines by keeping track of it with a migraine diary. Note down information with each headache including - What were you doing when your headache came on? Were you eating something? How much sleep did you get last night?
As you write down what foods and drinks you've been taking before your triggers, you might find a similar pattern over time. Usually if a food item causes a migraine an hour after consumption, it could be your food trigger. Abstain from those items.
Avoid skipping meals. Try and eat every 2-3 hours. This helps prevent migraine attacks.
3. Be careful about exercises.
Exercises are vital for a healthy lifestyle, but it can also trigger headaches for some people. It is best to consult a physician, if you get headaches after any physical activity or exercise.
Caffeine can help migraines but too much of anything in your diet is not good for you. Having more than 2 cups of coffee a day can put you at a risk of caffeine withdrawal headaches. Ease of caffeine slowly and steady.
5. Aim to sleep for 7-8 hours.
Try to sleep and wake up at the same time even on weekends. Any change in your cycle may trigger a migraine.
6. Downsize your stress- Regular meditation helps.
Stress is one of the most common causes of a migraine. Practicing mindfulness meditation regularly helps control stress. Counseling and stress management classes are also great to try; music, yoga and exercises are also effective stress busters.
Migraines can easily be treated with the right medications and lifestyle modification. Get in touch with a headache expert to feel better and improve your quality of life.

Q: Integral of a differential k-form on a closed surface Let us say we have a $k$ dimensional closed, compact, and orientable surface $S$ with a differential form $\omega$ defined on it. Stokes theorem tells us that:
$$
\int_S \mathrm{d} \omega = \int_{\partial S} \omega
$$
Now, because this is a closed surface, $\partial S$ is empty, hence:
$$
\int_S \mathrm{d} \omega = \int_{\partial S} \omega
=0
$$
Now, I would like to use this fact to show that there exists a point $p$ on S such that:
$$
\mathrm{d}\omega_p (v_1,...,v_k) =0
$$
for any tangent vectors $v_1,...,v_k$ at $p$. I understand that the whole integral above is $0$, but I feel like this could occur due to positive and negative components cancelling out.

A: Let $\nu$ denote the volume form on $M$, and because $d\omega$ is a top form there must be a function $f:M \to \mathbb{R}$ so that we can write
$$d\omega = f \cdot \nu$$ and in particular the integral can be written as
\begin{align}
\int_M d\omega = \int_M f \cdot \nu= 0
\end{align}
Now the cases to consider are either $f$ is changing sign or $f$ is not changing sign. If $f$ is changing sign then by continuity there must be some point $p$ so that $f(p) = 0$ and thus $d\omega$ is $0$ at $p$.
If $f$ is not changing sign then the fact that the integral is $0$ will imply that $f$ is equal to $0$ and therefore we again obtain a point $p$ where $f$ and consequently $d\omega$ is $0$.

Top 10 MBAs in Europe for Low Work Experience
It is possible to get into a good European MBA with low work experience? Yes!
The mantra of the MBA degree is that students learn just as much from their fellow classmates as they do from the esteemed faculty. So it makes sense that there is generally a minimum amount of work experience needed for admission to the top MBA courses. However, some business schools are willing to waive the work experience requirement to attract exceptional candidates; and other schools simply look for younger applicants with lower work experience. And what's better is that many of these schools are ranked highly in global rankings and have the best accreditations.
Below are the top 10 MBAs in Europe for low work experience.
Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM)
Rotterdam, Netherlands 78 Followers 223 Discussions
Three years' work experience may not seem like much, but the low requirement has not dampened the quality of the cohort at the Rotterdam School of Management in the Netherlands, which takes a more holistic approach to applications. The school is ranked among the best in the world by the FT and it wants students with, rather than substantial work experience, a global mindset and soft skills like excellent communication.
On average at SDA Bocconi in Milan, Italy, students have five years' work experience. Yet the range is between two and 10 years. And the school says that it will admit students with even lower years of work experience if they have an excellent academic background, test scores, transversal skills, and are motivated. Managerial experience is not required, either.
St. Gallen, Switzerland 42 Followers 141 Discussions
MBA candidates at St Gallen in Switzerland may have about six years of work experience on average, but the school admits applicants with as little as two years' working knowledge. St Gallen is undoubtedly one of the best Swiss schools, as it's ranked by most of the major publications, including the FT.
ESADE Business School - Barcelona Campus
With just two years professional experience required at Spain's ESADE, this school is a fantastic option for high potential younger MBA aspirants. ESADE is one of Spain's highest ranked institutions, and has a good international reputation. More than 90 percent of MBAs are employed on graduating and the average salary is a massive $149,000, a 116 percent increase on the pre-MBA pay.
HEC Paris, with five years' work experience required, is at the top end of the scale. But HEC remains a good option, given the caliber of the school, which is one of France's elite Grande Ecoles schools of management. HEC is France's second highest ranked MBA provider, according to the FT.

Students need only three years of relevant professional experience to be considered for the International MBA at Spain's IE Business School. IE has consistently been ranked as one of the nation's best business schools. It takes a holistic approach to evaluating applications, so low work experience should not count against you, if your overall profile is strong.

Cambridge Judge is another institution that needs few introductions. The UK school is famous globally for the quality of its teaching and research. The average age of work experience on the MBA is six, which may seem high, but not if you compare it with the quality of the class. The average GMAT score is high at 696, with 44 nationalities in the group too.
In Bloomberg Businessweek's ranking of the best non-US MBA programs, Oxford's course was at number four, above even its arch rival Cambridge Judge. The average number of years of work experience across the Oxford MBA cohort is just five, far lower other UK schools' averages, which can be between of seven and 10. Which is surprising, given the quality of the Oxford school.
LBS is undoubtedly one of Europe's best business schools, having been ranked in the top-five of the FT league table for the past several consecutive years. In the QS Global MBA Ranking 2019, LBS ranks first for employability, fourth for entrepreneurship, alumni outcomes, thought leadership, and is 16th for diversity. And yet the average amount of work experience is five years and overseas students usually have even lower work experience since their undergraduate degrees are longer than in the UK. LBS says it will admit candidates with under three years' experience if they can demonstrate top academic credentials and evidence of outstanding leadership.
INSEAD in France does not even have a work experience requirement. It only suggests at least two years, with the current class average being 5.5 years. Still, this really lowers the barrier to entry to what is the leading MBA program in Europe, according to the Financial Times ranking. INSEAD is renowned for a short, cheap course that is seriously international: students study on three continents and there are 90 nationalities in today's class.

Biohack here. I recently made a video about AFK processing and in that video I discussed how making trade crates is one way to improve the money you can make doing AFK processing. I was originally planning on making a video and guide for it but I wasn't really happy with how it came out. Instead I'm going to write a simple FAQ to answer the most popular questions. This way I can update it easily when changes to the game occur and it should be more accessible than a long video. Let's begin.
Should I get Master 2 Artisan 2 trade? As of Dec. 20th 2017 the desert trade buff was required to only require artisan 2. Any previous mentions of m2 should refer to this instead.
Before thinking about trade start by reading this so you understand how the material market works and what place you want to have in it.
That being said the first thing you should understand about trading is that by itself it is essentially worthless. NPC->NPC trading is absolutely terrible in terms of money per hour, and it isn't until master 5 (but really master 10) when you unlock margoria trade items that trading alone is a viable form of income. Instead trade is used to improve the value of other things. In particular those are pirate grinding, active fishing, and of course AFK processing. If you aren't doing any of these three activities getting artisan 2 trade will be a major waste of time and money and you will be able to get very little, if any, value out of it.
I'm a new player. How do I know if it's a good idea for me to level trading?
Obviously that's a personal decision based on how you like to play the game. However if you are looking to be efficient and make money so that you can compete in end game PvP and PvE I wouldn't suggest prioritizing trading until all your weapons and armor are at least TRI and you have best in slot accessories to duo/pri (or the lower tier accessory equivalent). It's far more important for you to improve your grind efficiency than it is for you to min/max with trading. I would also highly encourage you prioritize getting up to the soft cap of ~255 CP and investing in as many timber, and ore nodes as you can get, especially the fir, acacia tin, zinc, and coal nodes as without good workers on these nodes you won't have the resources you need to make crates (they are also valuable in general processing).
If you are intending to use trading for crate workshops I would also suggest you have enough money that you can comfortably float 500M-1B in crates without gimping your character. This is because moving trade crates efficiently requires that you operate in bulk and if you don't have the resources to to do that you are probably better off selling your materials on the market instead of spending a bunch of time moving crates around in small stacks.
Only about 20% of the profit you make from trade crates is actually from the crates, the bulk of it comes from the worker empire and the processing so if you don't have the back end to support crate workshops there is little reason to go for trading until you do.
What is so important about artisan 2 trading?
The reason artisan 2 trading is so important is that at artisan 2, after completing this quest, and its prerequisites, you will be able to talk to an NPC at the Pilgrim's Sanctum: Sharing node in Valencia. For 100 energy, this NPC will give you a buff that lasts 1 hour and provides a 1.5x multiplier for trade items brought from outside the desert and sold in valencia city. However since the distance, bargain, supply, and desert bonus stack multiplicatively this effect is actually much greater than just the 50% bonus. To see how much items will sell for with and without this buff check out famme's excellent calculator.
My friend told me he makes 200M a week doing crate workshops. Is this true?
There are very few people in the world that can bring in something like 200M purely from trade. What you friend is almost certainly doing is running a worker empire, processing materials, turning them into trade crates, and then making the classic mistake of labeling this entire system as "trading". The reality is they probably make something like 50M a week from worker empires, 130M a week from AFK processing, and 20M a week from trading. Don't feel like you have to do all three. It's perfectly fine to stick to only worker empire, or processing. The only benefit of doing all 3 is not having to pay the tax when you sell your goods to the NPC instead listing them on the market. Treat them each independently. By the way the tax comes out to 15.5% with a value pack.
Can I make crates for money without artisan 2 trade?
Absolutely not. I realize there are so called "guides" that suggest you do this however this is absolutely awful advice. What was a bad guide 9 months ago utterly terrible today. Just to give you an example you can sell the materials to make a calpheon crate for ~190K silver on the market. After tax that is ~160.5K. If you make a calpheon crate in trent and sell it in arehaza with professional 5 trade you will get ~130K for it after you take out the BSP and beer. Meaning at the end of the day you have 30,000 less silver in your bank for every crate you make instead of selling the plywood. Following the information in those "guides" will lose you billions of silver before you hit artisan 2 trade and require thousands of hours of AFK processing to get enough crates for a2. Anyone who tells you to sell crates without a2 has no idea how the economy in this game works.
So if I shouldn't sell valuable crates without artisan 2 how do I level trading?
There is no magic secret to leveling trade. It takes time. There are two good options for leveling trading. Active trading and making junk crates and most people do some combination of both.
I generally believe active trading to be a waste of time and don't recommend it, there is almost always something more useful you could be doing. To calculate how worthwhile active trading is you take the number of trash crates required to hit your goal, multiply it by the amount of money you lose per trash crate and divide it by the number of hours you would have to spend active trading. When I originally wrote this it took ~40 hours of container trading to hit master trade and ~50,000 trash crates at ~6k loss per. To see how many trash crates you need read this including the notification and the post it links to.
That being said for active trading there are two options. The lazy way and the faster way. The lazy way is simple. You buy a noble/merchant wagon and you just loop back and forth from the velia and heidel trade NPCS selling your trade goods to one before filling your wagon again and going back to the other. When the NPCS don't have any more items you hop channels and keep going. This is a pseudo afk method and while it's slower than the other methods it only wastes pseudo afk time rather than full active time.
The faster way is to get an elephant with the skills quick run and joyride (sprint and instant accel equivalents). If your elephant doesn't learn these skills you can use a horse skill reset coupon to try and get them. The downside of this is that the elephant will move very slowly if you just use auto path so if you are using this method you will have to actively move your elephant. If you choose this option you can find a couple of good trade routes here.
Rolling is a strategy where you buy as many items as you can carry on your character (up to 170% weight) and then roll to nearby farms. Trade xp is reduced if you go less than 500 meters but this method can still be used although I don't recommend it.
Container Trading (new addition 6.17.17) Recently a new method to leveling trade developed by the korean streamer viento has gained popularity. This is the fastest way to level trading. The method revolves around using multiple characters and warehouse in Heidel and Velia along with warehouse containers to move large quantities of NPC trade items quickly. Like other forms of active trading this generally is not recommended by most top lifeskillers. The reason being that investing your time into making money or something else more worthwhile and doing junk crates will offer better returns in the long run.
The laziest way to get artisan 2 trading is by making so called "junk" or "trash" crates. Basically, these crates are crates made from unprocessed materials at a loss in order to get trade xp i.e. ore, timber, fruit, herbs, etc… However leveling trading this way can be a bit expensive. I recently made a second character for trading and recorded how many crates needed for each level find out here. For a full list of possible life xp buffs check out balzor's fantastic site (click show trash crate method), please be sure to read the link at the top of the post about trash crates to learn how to turn them in properly for most xp.
Using this method is very expensive. The only way to get that much material is to purchase it off the market, in addition you also have to consider the cost of the black stone powder and beer. If you use lead, a popular junk crate item, you're looking at ~6,000 silver for lead ~3,000 silver for BSP and ~600 silver for beer. At professional 5 a crate made in trent and sold in arehaza will sell for something like 4100 silver. Since you spent ~9600 silver to make each crate you are looking at losing ~5500 silver per crate. Obviously the higher you get your trade level manually the less money you need to spend. But remember, time has value and if you spend your time doing trading manually instead of making money you will probably miss out on more money than making the junk crates. It's up to you to figure out what's best for your own playstyle.
All the junk crates are going to lose you money, some will lose you a little more than the others, but the largest loss comes from the black stone powder anyway. It's also an market economy so what might lose you slightly less one day may be different the next. If you really care you'll have to work out the math on any given day. However one thing you absolutely don't want to do is use materials with a higher real value than market value. Things like fir and acacia timber would be a prime example of this. Check the market...if it's sold out there's a good chance that may not be a good item for junk crates.
There may be other things that can be decent as well.
Where should I make my crates?
You should make your crates as far away from valencia as possible unless turning in junk crates at port ratt*. The cities with the farthest distance in order are grana, old wisdom tree, trent, epheria, and calpheon. Max the first city on the list before expanding to the second and be aware that each time you move to a closer city you sacrifice efficiency for production speed.
Which workers should I get?
The best worker is an artisan human with 112.5 workspeed and +3 crates, however this is very difficult to get.
The second best worker is an artisan goblin with +3 crates.
If you are doing metal/ore crates the best worker, after a +3 giant, is called bravant and is the equivalent of a professional goblin however he has the unique ability that gives him +2 metal/ore crates (doesn't stack with other crate skills). For more on bravant again refer to balzor's website.
With grana out now my previous comment about not needing +3 workers is no longer accurate. So what I do is typically dump all my energy into workers hiring professional+, for the pros I try and promote them at 20. If they fail I ditch them. For artisans I usually take them up to 25 and then ditch them. Sometimes for humans and giants I sell them at 20 if I have a replacement.
What kind of crates should I make?
Whatever materials your workers can get you. Steel, brass, bronze, balenos, serendia, calpheon, and mediah are all viable. If you want to min max to figure out which one will bring you the most money per hour of processing you'll have to do the math. The biggest tell of a noob trader is when they ask me how to make a "calpheon crate empire". Just because a crate sells for the most money doesn't mean it's the best crate. A crate that makes 3x more profit isn't any better than a crate who's materials you can process 3x as fast.
How do I get blackstone powder?
Mostly crushing crystals and weapon stones. See balzor again.
Can I make crates in Trent instead of Grana?
I strongly suggest you make your crates in Grana. This is because the distance bonus between grana and trent is quite large with grana offering 113% vs trents 99%. To see why this makes such a large difference consider the profit of a calpheon crate.
To understand what your profit actually is you have to compare the value of the materials in vs the value of the crate. In the case of calpheon based on the current market prices for plywood at the time of this writing you are looking at 200,250 for plywood pre tax. The post tax value of plywood is 169,211 with 3750 for BSP and ~150 for beer the cost to make the crate (compared to selling the plywood) is 173,311.
The value of a calpheon crate made in Trent is 198,607 at M2 meaning your total profit is ~25,300 silver. This is compared to grana where your crate is worth 212,579 silver for a profit of ~39,300. That's 55% more profit per crate in Grana vs trent.
But Grana costs so much CP. Trent is much cheaper!
Assuming you process starting from timber/ore and process ~18 hours a day you are looking at making somewhere around 500 crates worth of plywood/ingots every day. That means that the grana workshops generate you about 3-7M more silver per day compared to using trent depending on what types of crates you make. Ignoring the cost of lodging Trent cost 6cp for 2 benches and grana costs 22 (you should only make the connection to valencia a few times a month at most when turning in crates so ignore it otherwise).
That's an additional 16CP you have to pay for grana, this means that each CP will generate you between ~190-440K per day. Given that you shouldn't be worried about crates unless you have 255 CP at a minimum it's highly unlikely you will get a better return on your CP unless you are massively invested in farming.
I have extra mats. Should I use trent workshops or send workers from Grana to trent?
This is a bit of a tricky question to answer because it really comes down to a CP efficiency calculation and exactly what workers you have as well as how many additional crates you intend to make. You are looking at investing an additional 16CP to make crates from grana to trent in our calpheon crate example you are looking at a 14k increase in profit of grana over trent but this might be as low as only 6k for steel. If we assume average profit is around 10k per crate you would need to make at least an extra 160 crates per day to justify the CP cost, Assuming you can get 100K per CP which is a fairly decent per day profit per CP (but waaay worse than what you could get farming for example).
Should I use the t2 version of the grana workshops?
Grana introduces the concept of a tier 2 workshop. This version of the workshop makes 5 crates at a time, however the workload increases by 6x for the job. This workshop also uses double the black stone powder. In general you should not use the t2 version of the workshops. For more read on.
There are three major points of interest when it comes to t2 workshops. They are the speed of crate production, the double black stone powder costs, and the thrifty worker skills.
You can find charts with the exact breakdown of crate speeds but let's assume you have an artisan papu. If that papu is on a t1 workshop it will make 1 crate every 10 minutes (or 4 crates with +3). If the papu has less than 150 workspeed this will be the same for a t2 workshop. However if that papu has 150 work speed it will be able to finish the 1350 work speed job in only 9 cycles. Since each cycle is 5 minutes that worker will make 5 crates in 45 minutes (or 20 with +3). Basically what this means is that the t2 workshop is ~10% faster than the t1. Without +3 workers over the course of 90 minutes you will make 9 crates with t1 and 10 crates with t2.
I value black stone powder at 3750 (the cost of crushing weapon stones at 300k) and you probably should to. This means to make that extra crate you end up spending an extra 37,500 silver on BSP. As we discussed earlier our profit of making the crates in grana vs trent is about 6-14K per crate meaning this BSP cost more than doubles the additional profit of the crate. Even if you buy the BSP off the market it still exceeds the additional value of the crate. In other words don't use T2 with 1 exception.
The one instance you might want to use the t2 workshop is if you have a worker with max thrifty and are making wood crates. The reason this is the case is because the thrifty skill only procs on items that use at least 10 of the resource. This means the thrifty will work fine on ingot workshops but does not work on t1 wood workshops. However with t2 this may enable thrify to actually work. With max thrifities this saves you 2.2% on your production cost which will be about ~4.4K on a calpheon crate and ~3.5k on a mediah crate. These savings may make it worthwhile to use the t2 workshop for these specific wood crates if your worker has max thrifty skills.
tl;dr don't use t2 workshop except for calpheon and mediah crates with a max thrifty worker.
How do I move my crates to valencia/arehaza?
You can over-stack a horse up to 7157 crates and then using a fast alt (preferably below 50 so it can't be pked) like a musa and whistling the horse behind you is a good option. If you have the cash shop horse whistle you can run 500 meters away from your horse and then use the whistle to teleport your horse to your location. You can also ride your horse manually however this will be slower.
Alternatively you can over stack your horse and over stack your fishing boat and afk to ancando.
Can I use the item transport function to move my crates?
No, I highly suggest you do NOT use the transport function for trade crates. This is because each crate doesn't stack and will cost you over 4,000 silver to ship. Just as we saw when we talked about doing crates in trenth this a massive cut into the profit of crates vs selling plywood. Another way to look at it is moving 7157 crates would cost you over 28million silver. If you are willing to run from grana->valencia/arehaza for 28 million silver you shouldn't use the transport function.
I watched a streamer who had thousands and thousands of crates. How do they get the materials for that?
They bought processed materials on the market in order to do margin trading.
Should I buy processed materials on the market?
No. If you even have to ask that question you don't possess the knowledge and setup to pull it off. It took me over a year, billions of silver, and hundreds if not thousands of hours to get my trade empire to the state it's in today. I'm sure mickin and alzy spent similar amounts of time and effort on theirs. It may not have been true before the static crate change but as of today I guarantee if you try and buy materials without knowing what you're doing you'll just end up broke and frustrated.
Margin trading is probably the most competitive market in BDO don't expect to make any significant amount of money off it. Doing so would require investing a huge amount of time and money into leveling trading very high and you will be in constant competition to push your trade level higher in order to stay above the curve. It's not about how high your trade level is, it's about how much higher your trade level is than everyone else. I've spent 10s of billions on trash crates to stay ahead.
Should I buy unprocessed materials off the market?
You should set up your worker empire to gather materials for you. Getting to the soft cap of 255 CP is relatively straight forward, prioritize that. For everything else you need to do the math. All the information you need to know to figure it out you can find here. The long and short of it is that you will always make money buying timber and ore as the market place literally will not sell you materials at prices where this isn't true, however to know what's best you'll have to do the math.
I'm a just looking for some easy passive income. Should I make trade crates?
Every player in the game should set up a worker empire to gather materials. It's fairly easy to get up to ~255 CP and once you do it will be a good chunk of money that comes in every day with very little effort. Every player should, if at all possible, try and do something to bring in money while AFK, whether it be fishing or processing. Ultimately you can make a bit more money by combining worker gathering, processing, and crate workshops, however the difference is far smaller than most people think. It's perfectly fine to set up a worker empire, afk fish and sell your materials, it's also fine to take your materials, process them and sell the products on the market, and as you've seen here you can also make those materials into trade crates to squeeze out even more. However, at the end of the day the amount of time you spend actively playing the game will matter far more than how much you min/max this setup for passive income. I suggest you prioritize having fun. If all this trading feels like a chore to you, don't do it, trust me there are plenty of super geared players who don't touch life skills at all, and there are others like me who would be very happy to buy your materials. On the other hand if this sort of things appeals to you, go for it! It can be a very nice supplement to your daily income. Remember, it's a game. Have fun. Do what you enjoy.
