Canadian Crypto Exchanges Will be Subject to New AML Rules
Author: Jimmy Aki
Canada is stepping up its cryptocurrency regulations, and a new development, which would affect all cryptocurrency exchanges in the country, has been announced.
Yesterday, the government of Canada published a notice in which it mandated that any crypto exchanges within the country's borders will be required by law to register with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FinTRAC) no later than June 1, 2020.
Per the announcement, the Canadian government also said that it would be implementing new and sweeping Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws over the coming year, and exchanges will need to implement the highest Know Your Customer (KYC) security identification standards.
Amongst the standards that it expects exchanges to observe, the government now wants exchanges to hire Compliance Officers as part of their workforce, and report any suspicious transactions to the aforementioned regulatory body. Exchanges are also mandated to record transactions worth $10,000 or more, except the transactions involved "another financial entity or a public body or from a person who is acting on behalf of a client that is a financial entity or public body."
The country seems to have always had these policies, but according to a separate media report, compliance has always been optional for exchanges. Now, it seems the government is taking the option to comply away from exchanges. As for the rationale for the implementation, reports have suggested that it is to ensure that the cooperation between Canadian banks and its exchange is enhanced. Banks have historically been concerned about the consistent links between crypto assets and vices such as terrorist financing and money laundering, and with more regulated AML and KYC procedures, banks' fears should be quelled.
It is also worth noting that Canada has so far had a relatively stable and flourishing cryptocurrency ecosystem. As a matter of fact, the most seemingly controversial occurrence that came out of the country was the death of Gerard Cotten, CEO, and co-founder of popular exchange QuadrigaCX.
Cotten's death in India earlier this year sparked massive outcry from the exchange and its investors, as it was subsequently revealed that he was the only one with access to the exchange's Bitcoin wallets, which housed about $150 million. The fallout from this fatal management error- as well as Cotten's death- are still being handled to this day.
Other than that, pretty much nothing. Canada seems to be a stable environment for blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, as even several aspects of the industry have seen a considerable amount of regulation. In April, Régie de l'énergie, the energy regulator of Quebec province, released new rules guiding the operation of cryptocurrency miners. Under the new regulations, the Régie de l'énergie ordered Hydro-Québec, a primary energy provider in the region, to allocate 300 megawatts of electricity to the blockchain industry.
To get some of the allocated power, companies will be judged on four criteria, including the number of jobs created in the region, the total direct job payroll, their heat recovery levels, and the value of their investments. Given that it provides low rates to its customers, Hydro-Quebec claimed that the new rules would be instrumental in keeping the status quo viz a viz pricing.
However, it would seem that when it comes to money laundering, the country really doesn't joke around. Early last month, The Next Web reported that Kennedy Stewart, the mayor of Vancouver, was contemplating imposing a complete ban on Bitcoin ATMs, based on their alleged affiliation with money laundering cases.
Per the report, authorities expect to get no less than 840 reports on digital currencies this year alone; thrice the amount it got last year. However, the British Columbia province will hold an inquiry to investigate these occurrences further.
Now, the government seems to be regulating exchanges- one of the most vital cryptocurrency services- in the hopes of stemming crypto-related money laundering even further.
The reactions of crypto exchanges to this would undoubtedly vary, but if Canada has taught the global crypto industry anything so far, it is that structured regulations can foster growth and a considerable level of investor security.
Jimmy has been following the development of blockchain for several years, and he is optimistic about its potential to democratize the financial system.

Video is no longer just a nice option to have... it's a necessity.
Video production uses tools that make it much easier, and more precise in setting the tone of how a message or a story is received. Mastering the use of these powerful tools such as moving pictures, dialogue, sound effects, and music, helps us trigger emotions that controls how your audience perceives the story. Unlike in print, although a powerful medium for sure, it does not compare to the medium of video. In print or still ads, we find reading comprehension and message interpretation to be formidable barriers.
So, if a picture says a 1,000 words, a video would be the whole book.
A long pause, a telling look, or a simple melody is far more powerful than any printed ad or body of copy. How many people watch the training montage from a ROCKY MOVIE and decide to begin a health program. The emotions are powerful, contagious and compel people to act. This is exactly what we do, we compel people to act.
By 2022, online videos will make up more than 82%
of all consumer internet traffic 15 times higher
than it was in 2017
Learn more about....
Our Ad Agency and In House Video Production Studio
is conveniently located in East Boca Raton
We produce content for companies across the country. However, if you are in our backyard, come by the studio and take a look for yourselves. We would love to host you and your team.
Online videos will make up more than 82% of all consumer internet traffic in 2022. That's 15 times higher than it was in 2017.
Users spend 88% more time browsing websites with videos opposed to still images and text. People are looking for entertaining information.
72% of consumers use videos to learn or get information. They prefer DIY videos about a product instead of reading a user's manual.
Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it through video as opposed to reading.
Video Statitics
82% of users find it off-putting to watch videos that are not well produced or optimized for their chosen orientation.
Video Production Fact! Your credibility is on the line...
The good enough attitude is just not good enough anymore. If you deliver the same quality production that consumers themselves can produce with their phones, how can they look up to you as an authority in your industry, or even take your brand seriously?
Not all videos are created equally. There is a reason Nike will spend a million dollars on a 30 second spot. There is a reason why they DO NOT have one of their family members use an iPhone or DSLR make a low budget video. Its because it just doesn't work.
Nike doesn't invest in high quality video production because they are successful, they are successful because they invest in high quality video production.
Nike is a great example of a company who has consistently invested into their brand since its inception in 1964. Now we are not suggesting that your video needs to cost one million dollars, however...if you invest in your brand with high quality video production, you and your buyers will be glad that you did.
Video Production Workflow
Video Concept
Creating a winning video concept is the foundation of successful video production. It begins with the message, the story, the look and feel of the video. As a marketing communications firm it is our job to create original and memorable ideas that work.
Once we are on the same page with a banging concept, we will write an amazing script. A script is comprised of dialogue, action and other key elements that tell the story.
Create Story Boards
Storyboards are an illustrated version of key shots in the script. To check out an example of some story boards click here.
Our line producer (Brandon Perry) is an expert at scouting the best location for each unique production,. He has worked on major motion pictures such as Jurassic World and American Made.
We have access to literally thousands of actors and voice over talent nationwide. Our relationships range from local talent agencies to Hollywood Casting Directors. However, we have access to best talent right here in Boca Raton. Attend a casting where you can sit in our comfortable studio and participate in the talent selection process.
Time to go from idea to execution. We film everything on our own cinema grade cameras using the industry's best production gear. Customarily the crew will arrive about an hour before the cast. During this time the crew will set up for the first shot and prepare for executing the day's plan.
Postproduction Editing
Cutting the video consists of watching all of the footage twice, selecting the best takes, and creating a sequence. The pacing and transitions are dictated by the style of the video.
Color grading is the visual polish of the video. It is the last visual element that physically effects the footage.
Most production companies don't have an in-house professional recording studio, music producer, or an audio engineer. We have all three! In fact, at our recording studio in Boca Raton, we have two-time Grammy Award Nominee Bob Rosa as our top audio engineer. Phillip Chase Weatherspoon who has produced national artists who have sold over 12 million records is also part of the team. For more info on our audio facility, click here.
Previews & Revisions
Along the way we present the progress in different stages to give you, the client a chance to have input during the final stages of development.
Pre Production Services
Messaging & Precision Planning
In this stage of the video production process, all of the planning, budgeting, and decisions about what the video will become are made.
Decide the goal of the video
What is the videos purpose? Is it to generate leads, increase traffic, convert sales, introduce a new product, increase brand awareness, or create a shift in brand perception. Reaching a high level of clarity during the preproduction process is paramount in generating a great result.
Decide who the video is for
Are we targeting women, middle-aged people, existing customers etc. If you think your video is for everyone, then your video will not be for anyone.
The creative concept
This is the idea of what the video will actually be "The Storyline." For example if we were marketing Nike Women shoes, our story may be how our sneakers empower women through exercise. The story could be the internal dialogue of a woman describing the challenges in her life as she prepares to exercise.
Writing a script
A script is where the dialogue and action sequences are written in script format. The script includes locations, time of day, mood and all other details related to each shot.
Storyboard illustration
Story boards are still graphic diagrams that express the main shots of the scene. Much like a comic book, a story board will show the details needed in each cell to explain how the scene is to be shot.
Although some businesses use their company location for their video shoots, it is most common to have second and third location for each production. These locations are found and secured far in advance of production day.
Finding the right talent for you video production, such as an actor or voice over talent, is paramount. It is arguably one of the biggest decisions that has the greatest influence on the outcome of the production.
from Matched
Production Day
Catering to our clients...
Your experience as a client is as equally important to us as creating an amazing video.
We will do our best to make you comfortable and apprised to what is happening in realtime.
We always start on time
We are punctual, we are efficient and there is no time to waste.
We use state-of-the-art-cinema gear
This means we are not showing up with a photography camera making an attempt at video production with a couple of cheap lights. We show up with cinema grade production gear.
We are problem solvers
Our team is excellent at creating unique solutions to unforeseen obstacles that sometimes arise through the course of a day.
Postproduction Services
We are able to cut everything from a feature film to a thirty second spot. Timing and pacing are key to a great edit.
Adding color to video is an art into itself. The process is complicated and takes a high level of expertise. At SM Media Group we have some of the best graders in the business.
Adding music, sound effects and getting the dialogue to pop while sitting in the mix counts for over 50% of the video quality.
Animated Graphics
Motion graphics are key to highlighting important elements of a video. Well executed animation can add excitement and dynamics to your message.
Drone Services in Boca Raton
Marvel over high quality, breath taking aerial shots. Our pilots are skilled at achieving that cinematic look that only comes from experience. Drone footage is fantastic for real estate, automobile tracking shot and large birds-eye establishment shots. Really the sky is the limit when shooting with a drone.

Q: Why can't I scrape all data? with this flow I'm trying to scrape all data from a specific website. The main issue is related to the output of the flow because I'm not receiving the list of all home teams but only the name of home team from the first match. What can I do to receive all data fomr the website?
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\Users\Lorenzo\Downloads\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.diretta.it')
html = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(html,'lxml')
games = soup.find_all('div', class_ = 'event__match event__match--live event__match--last
event__match--twoLine')
for game in games:
home = soup.find('div', class_ = 'event__participant event__participant--home').text
away = soup.find('div', class_ = 'event__participant event__participant--away').text
time = soup.find('div', class_ = 'event__time').text
print(home)

A: You are looping over games but not using it as object for your in-loop finds.
home = game.find('div', class_ = 'event__participant event__participant--home').text

A: First of all when using selenium you don't need beautiful soup, because you can use find_elenet_by to find a tag and find_elements_by (elements with an s. Plural), to get a list of all tags with with similar entities.
Your code would be:
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\Users\Lorenzo\Downloads\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.diretta.it')

games = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div[class = "event__match event__match--live event__match--last event__match--twoLine"]')

for game in games:
    home = game.find_element_by_css_selector('div[class = "event__participant event__participant--home"]').text
    away = game.find_element_by_css_selector('div[class = "event__participant event__participant--away"]').text
    time = game.find_element_by_css_selector('div[class = "event__time"]').text

    print(home)

Q: Using a ViewBag with an Extension Method in RAZOR with ASP.NET MVC I'm trudging my way through learning ASP.NET MVC. I've recently written an extension method that helps me decide if a item in a drop down list should be selected. I know about the HTML helper methods. I'm simply trying to learn how things work here. Anyways, I currently have the following code:
<select id="Gender">
  <option value="-1" @Html.IsSelected(Convert.ToString(ViewBag.Gender), "-1")>Unspecified</option>
  <option value="0" @Html.IsSelected(Convert.ToString(ViewBag.Gender), "0")>Male</option>
  <option value="1" @Html.IsSelected(Convert.ToString(ViewBag.Gender), "1")>Female</option>
</select>

When I execute this, I get a compilation error on the view that says:
 CS1973: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' has no applicable method named 'IsSelected' but appears to have an extension method by that name. Extension methods cannot be dynamically dispatched. Consider casting the dynamic arguments or calling the extension method without the extension method syntax.

My question is, how do I execute an extension method with a value from ViewBag? If I replace ViewBag.Gender with a hard-coded value it works. Which makes me think that the problem is with the fact that ViewBag is a dynamic type. But, what other option do I have?

A: I'd the same problem.
Use a ViewData instead..
for example, replace
 @using (Html.BeginSection(tag:"header", htmlAttributes:@ViewBag.HeaderAttributes)) {}

with
@using (Html.BeginSection(tag:"header", htmlAttributes:@ViewData["HeaderAttributes"])) {}

it works fine ;)

A: Here is something that may help:
public static class HtmlHelperExtensions
    {
public static MvcHtmlString GenderDropDownList(this HtmlHelper html, string name, int selectedValue, object htmlAttributes = null)
        {
            var dictionary = new Dictionary<sbyte, string>
            {
                { -1, "Unspecified" },
                { 0, "Male" },
                { 1, "Female" },
            };

            var selectList = new SelectList(dictionary, "Key", "Value", selectedValue);
            return html.DropDownList(name, selectList, htmlAttributes);
        }

        public static MvcHtmlString GenderDropDownListFor<TModel>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> html, Expression<Func<TModel, bool?>> expression, object htmlAttributes = null)
        {
            var dictionary = new Dictionary<sbyte, string>
            {
                { -1, "Unspecified" },
                { 0, "Male" },
                { 1, "Female" },
            };

            var selectedValue = ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression(
                expression, html.ViewData
            ).Model;

            var selectList = new SelectList(dictionary, "Key", "Value", selectedValue);
            return html.DropDownListFor(expression, selectList, htmlAttributes);
        }
}

Use it like this:
@Html.GenderDropDownList("Gender", 0)

or:
@Html.GenderDropDownListFor(m => m.Gender)

The New BMW M3 Coupe
BMW has announced details of the new BMW M3 Coupe, a model that 21 years ago created an entirely new segment for super-high-performance compact cars. In the past 2 decades and 3 previous generations, the M3 has proved a success on road and track.
With DNA connecting the new M3's engine to that of the BMW Sauber F1 Team, the racing link is maintained in the fourth generation M3. The new M3 Coupe engine develops 420hp at 8,300rpm and 400Nm of torque at 3,900rpm from its 3,999cc V8-power unit, and red-lines at 8,400rpm. The engine powers the car from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph. However, these supercar levels of performance do not compromise economy with the car still delivering 22.8mpg on the combined cycle, being an 8% improvement over the outgoing car.
Like the larger BMW M5 and M6 models, the new M3 Coupe also features an Mdrive button that brings together numerous personalised functions of the car.
The previous generation M3 CSL showed how carbon-fibre could be used by BMW in limited-volume production cars. The new M3 Coupe is the first full production car in its class to feature a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic roof panel with exposed weave. In isolation, the carbon-fibre roof panel saves 5kgs over a conventional roof panel but it also lowers the centre of gravity to contribute to the M3's benchmark driving dynamics.
The new BMW M3 Coupe goes on sale in September 2007 and prices will be announced nearer the launch date.

География
Располагается на расстоянии примерно 10 км по прямой на северо-запад от райцентра поселка Уни.

История
Известна с 1873 года как деревня Печкезцы (Печькез большой или  Сибирь), в которой отмечено дворов 35 и жителей 470, в 1905 56 и 570, в 1926 56 и 325 (319 удмурты), в 1950 103 и 395, в 1989 году проживало 272 человека. Настоящее название утвердилось с 1950 года. В советское время работал совхоз «Труженик». Состоит из двух бывших деревень: Нижняя Сибирь и Верхняя Сибирь, которые в 1963 году были объединены в один населенный пункт. В связи с ликвидацией в 1983 году деревни Чугай большинство ее жителей переехали в Сибирь на улицу Школьную. До 2021 года входила в состав Астраханского сельского поселения до его упразднения.

Население
Постоянное население  составляло 286 человек (русские 26%, удмурты 74%) в 2002 году, 258 в 2010.

This flyweight musical about a young woman's depression could use some serious therapy.
If The Room writer Tommy Wiseau and anti-psychiatry crusader Catherine Bell ever teamed up to write a depression-themed musical, it just might look and sound something like this fractionally competent and wholly ridiculous effort, first produced for the 2011 New York International Fringe Festival. That collaboration might not be a bad idea, actually. The plodding dialogue would be about the same, but at least Wiseau's penchant toward inexplicable plot twists would keep the action moving.
Yes. Clearly. Despite the good intentions of Uncovered Theatre's bare-bones production, Jessie's character never develops beyond a brooding head case, and Nathan A. Schmidt's Ambien-laced score provides little relief.

Q: Why should I reduce the skewness of my data before applying a Machine Learning algorithm? What is the problem with skewed data? Why should we make the distribution more like a Gaussian?

A: "What is the problem with skewed data?". There is not a problem at all. The question may rather be why skewed data may cause problems in some machine learning models. It comes solely down to how the model utilizes the data for approximating the learning function.
It's not necessarily a problem that data is skewed, and it depends on what type of machine learning model you use.
In many regression algorithms (e.g. linear regression) normality of residuals is assumed. That is, the error between the predictions and actual responses are normally (Gaussian) distributed. Having skewed data may manifest itself in the learning function and make the model produce a skewed distribution of residuals.


Jim Uszynski had an outstanding athletic career at Clearview High School and Muskingum College, a Division III football powerhouse, coached by the legendary Ed Sherman.
Clearview was coached by Bob Mosketti and LSHOF Enshrinee, Fred Churchill. As a freshman he won the quarterbacking position on a senior-laden team. He was a four year starter; and, letter winner. As a senior, he was first team All-Lakeland Conference quarterback, Most Valuable Back and team captain. Jim earned three letters each in golf and basketball, and was team captain in basketball as a senior.
From 1964-68 Jim attended Muskingum College where he started all four years as the team quarterback. He twice led the team to the Grantland Rice Bowl as a freshman and junior in 1964 and 1966. The team won Ohio Athletic Conference championship in 1965 and 1966. Jim passed for 1771 yards and led the team to a four-year regular season career record of 33-3.
After graduation, responding to a request from Coach Mosketti, he joined his staff at Mansfield Madison as an assistant coach. Jim then began his head coaching career at Columbia High School and later at North Ridgeville High School. Jim took on both of these losing programs and turned them completely around. In the process, he has won league, county and district "Coach of the Year" honors. For his dedication and achievements in football, Jim was inducted into the Lorain County Football Coaches Association's Hall of Fame in 2008.
Thereafter, Jim continued his football coaching career in Lorain. He was an assistant coach at both Admiral King and Southview and also the head coach at Lorain High School. One of his proudest achievements in Lorain was helping numerous players to get to play at the college level, several going into The Big Ten. Always looking for another challenge, he helped Elyria High School win the Erie Shore Conference and then moved on to New London to coach his grandson.
Football coaching wasn't Jim's only athletic endeavor. He is very proud of his days of officiating basketball and slow-pitch softball. And while at Lorain High he coached the very successful girls softball team.
Jim, the quarterback and his high school sweetheart, Joanne the cheerleader, have been married for 51 years and reside in LaGrange, Ohio. They have three children and eight grandchildren.

Before Kat Jamieson-Harwood began IVF, she expected her wife Kirsten to be there by her side. But COVID-19 meant that was no longer possible. "It's been really isolating, especially in a same-sex couple, you already have that fear that the other mother won't have a connection to the pregnancy or the baby," 33-year-old Kat from Brisbane says. "Kirsten felt very left out and sad." The pandemic has impacted individual and couples' fertility journeys in a lot different ways, including delays and going it alone. And there have also been some unexpected positives. #IVF #fertility #womenshealth @AWhealthNetwork	... See MoreSee Less

Q: How to fix overlay issues in three.js? I´m trying to render an iframe with the CSS3DRenderer of three.js in Angular.
Now im facing the problem, that i´m not able to click anything in the content (no pointer events).
I seem that the reason is the overlayed webgl
.
Whenever i change the order of the two div´s
 and
, the CSS3DObject cover the other content and does not get attached to the box, where i want it to be redered.
Order:

Order:

This is how i init the CSS3DRenderer:
private _init3DRenderer()
    {
        this._3DRenderer = new CSS3DRenderer();
        this._3DRenderer.setSize(this.css3dContainer.nativeElement.clientWidth, this.css3dContainer.nativeElement.clientHeight);
        this.css3dContainer.nativeElement.appendChild(this._3DRenderer.domElement);
    }

as well as initializing the WebGlRenderer:
private _initRenderer()
    {
        this._renderer = new WebGLRenderer({ alpha: true, antialias: true });
        this._renderer.setPixelRatio(window.devicePixelRatio);
        this._renderer.setSize(this.webglContainer.nativeElement.clientWidth, this.webglContainer.nativeElement.clientHeight);
        this._renderer.outputEncoding = sRGBEncoding;
        this._renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true;
        this._renderer.shadowMap.type = PCFSoftShadowMap;
        this.webglContainer.nativeElement.appendChild(this._renderer.domElement);
    }

after initialization im adding an object to the WebG as well as the iframe.
        const obj = new Object3D();
        let css3dObject = new CSS3DObject(iframe);
        obj.add(css3dObject)

        // make an invisible plane for the DOM element to chop
        // clip a WebGL geometry with it.
        var material = new MeshPhongMaterial({
            opacity: 0.1,
            color: new Color(0x000001),
            blending: NoBlending,
            side: DoubleSide,
        });
        var geometry = new BoxGeometry(width, height, 30);
        var mesh = new Mesh(geometry, material);
        // mesh.castShadow = true;
        mesh.receiveShadow = true;
        // obj.lightShadowMesh = mesh
        obj.add(mesh);

the  different renderer sharing the same scene:
private _render()
    {
        this._renderer?.render(this._scene, this._camera);
        this._3DRenderer?.render(this._scene, this._camera);
    }

1. Explain to your child what will happen when you are out, how it will likely be different from home and any concerns you may have.
2. Get them to go, or at least try to go potty before you leave.
3. Find out where the toilets are as soon as you get wherever you are going and go straight away. It's much easier doing this calmly before they really need it than in the rush of a sudden urge.
4. If you're out in public, as you move around always be on the lookout for those tell-tale bathroom signs so you know exactly which direction you should head if you need to.
5. If you don't have a portable potty with you, try getting your child to sit backwards on a regular toilet – some children find this easier because they have the wall or toilet cistern to hold onto and don't feel like they are going to fall off the seat on to the floor.
6. Take some spare clothing, a couple of plastic bags, and some baby wipes and paper towels with you in case of accidents.
7. If they have an accident in a shop or restaurant – let the staff know and race to the bathroom with your child. Sure it is embarrassing but you won't be the first. All you can really do is apologise "quickly" and leave a big tip.
8. If your child has an accident at a friend's house then it's your responsibility to clean it up. Best to take your own paper towels so you can quickly spring into action without having to ask for everything and make it a big deal.
9. Don't forget to take your sense of humour – accidents or not, you're going to need it. There may be several false alarms with your child wanting to find out what happens when they say the magic trigger word. If you feel this is happening, try not to get upset with them. Instead try praising them for telling you and being so responsible about their potty training, even though you know it's not easy.

Q: Basis of kernel and image of a linear transformation - verification The transformation matrix I found is: $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}$$
Is this how a basis for $\ker$ and $\mathrm{im}$ is calculated?
$$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{pmatrix} \sim \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}$$
Therefore a basis for $\ker$ is $\{0\}$.
For the image:
$$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \sim \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$
Therefore a basis for $\mathrm{im}$ is $\left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 0\end{pmatrix} \right\}$.

A: This CW answer intends to remove the question from the unanswered queue.

As DonAntonio already noted, your calculation is correct.


Burial Hordes are the kind of black metal band that the world can only do with more of. Evil and filled with the sort of rage that will not die, Burial Hordes have come to a new peak 12 years into their career with Incendium. Start with the cover, this is black metal at its finest, some sort of horrific ancient rite at the base of what appears to be a ziggurat. Covered in blood and filled with inner darkness and satanic imagery, this is clearly not the kind of black metal record that will have mainstream appeal, unlike some of these new Deafheaven styled blackgaze bands, and for that it is triumphant.
The sheer rage behind these songs is impressive, their is a vicious and undying power to be had here, the product of a group of four dudes letting loose their 'extreme negative energies'. Part of the magic of Incendium is the sheer hatred found throughout, these guys understand what black metal rage is, and in an age where this is becoming less and less common this rage is important. The way these guys charge forward with a marked dedication to evil is impressive, few bands get this sort of destructive hate in their sound. The songwriting is simply excellent, the way the blast beats provide a basis for the sheer darkness of the music is impressive, driving your head to bang and your body into an unholy semblance of motion.
In other words, if you want a majestic black metal record that captures some of the spirit of the the modern black metal movement while still honoring the groups musical ancestors then this is the band for you. Burial Horde understand the true spirit of black metal in a time when much of the old guard is fading away and the new stuff doesn't have the sheer hatred of old. Incendium represents a triumph from a type of black metal who many see as a dying breed. Their is a darkness here that few bands can invoke, these Greek metal lords provide proof, trve black metal will never be stopped!

Flash back a couple of days to Sparrows' set at Liquid Lounge the Friday night before, or Saturday morning, if you wanna get technical. Leading the band through a set of songs from Rock and Roll Days, as well as some new ones the group plans to lay down with Paul Williams at Last Beat in a few months, Albrecht proved that he might be Dallas' one true rock star. No matter that Sparrows (which includes Ward Williams on slide guitar and pedal steel, bassist Dave Monsey, guitarist Danny Baylis and drummer Brent Cole) are still playing the small rooms instead of the big stadiums, or that Albrecht is too nice, too humble and too talented to be relegated to that kind of corrupt celebrity. He certainly looks like one, though, tall and skinny as a stop sign and charismatic as a con man. And he sounds like one on Rock and Roll Days. True to the title, the disc is rock and roll all over, but it's also soulful in spirit and singer-songwriter-smart in sentiment. Albrecht writes lyrics that can trace the history of the world from Adam and Eve to Avril Lavigne ("Rockinrocknroll": "Then there came a man/And then there was a girl/A murder, a flood, a virgin, a martyr, a Hitler, a Jagger/A radio") or reduce the history of a relationship to one fuck-you couplet ("Placebo": "And all I wanted was all you are/And all I got was all you are").
Flash back an hour or so from Sparrows' set that night and you'll see why Albrecht takes home Musician of the Year: He's just as happy playing sideman as he is standing in the spotlight. Playing guitar and piano and organ for Sorta, he blended into the background, chaining smokes and changing instruments, often in the same song. Sorta singer-guitarist Trey Johnson did more than keep center stage warm for Albrecht, showing off the voice that wins here for Male Vocalist. The pig-tailed Johnson has a set of pipes as comfortable in a caterwaul ("Boobjob") as a croon ("Look Like a Fool"), and sometimes both ("Chinese Feet"). Johnson's vocals are one of the highlights on Sorta's full-length debut, last year's Laugh Out Loud, and even more of a draw on the newer More Myth EP, as low-key and intimate as a good first date. The band (Johnson and Albrecht are joined by drummer Trey Carmichael and Baylis on bass, as well as Williams on pedal steel) is set to follow up those discs later this year, recording a new full-length with Paul Williams at Last Beat, around the same time as Sparrows. Maybe the bands should just release them together as a double-disc set; Sorta Sparrows kinda has a ring to it. --Z.C.
Darla Oates
Winner for: Female Vocalist
Maybe it's too common a comparison, but what the hell: Darla Oates is a living female version of Jeff Buckley, trilling and thrilling with a range so unencumbered it recalls the dramatic vocals of the late singer, with maybe a little Yma Sumac thrown in. Her genre is, well, there isn't just one; bluesy at times, ethereal and folky at others, she's always charismatic, which isn't really its own genre, but maybe it should be. Once a solo artist, Oates pretty much stuck to Mondays at Muddy Waters and a night here and there at The Cavern and a few other clubs, but now that she's got a full backing band, the gigs are more frequent and the venues bigger. It's doubtful, though, that even the expanse that is Gypsy Tea Room could contain her full-throttle dynamics. Oates' style revolves around her voice, as it would and should with any singer, but not every singer has the knack to write songs that harness her raw skill and still let it dip and dive into show-off runs now and again. Regular audience members have called her a virtuoso, and the general opinion agrees in spite of the varied crowd Oates usually draws. Maybe her choice selection of covers was the initial enticement (just listen to her version of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes"), but Oates has proven herself as a truly original artist. And a truly original voice. --Merritt Martin
Winner for: Country
He could have been a contender and still is, go figure; how did Sony miss with Jack Ingram, anyway? Maybe at that label, you have to sue to be saved, especially on the country side of life. Consider: He's the literate songwriter with movie-star good looks, a city boy who crossed over to the country crowd long before it found its longneck saviors at the bottom of a cracker barrel, but he's so barely on Sony these days you're closer to being signed if you belong to the Columbia House Music Club. (The label released his new EP Extra Volts, and by released I mean they gave him copies to send out to press and sell at shows.) No mystery why the label treats Ingram like a rumor: He's a tough sell, because unlike his frat-house-dance-hall peers, Ingram believes you gotta work for the good time, that the party at the end of the week has to mean something other than the hangover forthcoming.

It is undeniable that Christmas has changed from its original intent - a religion-centric commemoration - to a commercialised holiday.
But is this really a bad thing?
With globalisation, new Christmas customs have become acknowledged around the world.
Christmas has become a universal holiday, with a mishmash of both sacred and secular traditions making it unique.
It has morphed from a sacred commemoration to a multi-billion-dollar commercialised franchise providing jobs for millions, and is important to many economies.
It is celebrated by many different people and means something different to everyone, be it the birth of Jesus Christ or simply a reason to scarf down candy canes.
Christmas is what people make of it, and they should have the freedom to celebrate it however they want.


I wonder if the resident over there has a similar picture of the window from where I took this shot.
WOW! That's some color! I love the green shutters against that yellow!
Ayush Basu: I know, right?!
Interesting thought, Ayush - he may even have you in it!
That colour scheme is a bit VIVID!
Ayush Basu: Oh yes, any brighter that day and the sensor of my camera would have been fried!
Nice textures with the two colours.
I like this colour combination very much - and we are in Italy for sure! The closed shutters are so typical!
Great textures and colours, Ayush. Lovely and bright.
Ayush Basu: Pleased you think so Pauline!
Great photo even with the zap between the eyes of the colour Juan.
It is so worthy of a picture. Great!
Good composition. Flashy colours. They must like turmeric in that house.
I like the simplicity here and the strong colours.
Wow! That house would certainly stand out bright & colourful against its neighbours; that is, if its neighbours weren't painted in the same vivid manner. I can see why you would want to capture this, Ayush; great shot!
I really like this Ayush.
Very nice Ayush. I love the tones and textures!
Great colour contrast and fine composition, Ayush!

Last week, I saw an huge "spam" outbreak on my MX servers. Instead of ~200k rejected SMTP connections, I had ~3M connections and it was rising. This caused some minor issues with the frequent log parsing as the log file quickly grew.
To reduce the log file size and also the DNS requests number, I decided to use fail2ban to drop the connections before they got to Exim.
And reload/restart fail2ban. With this simple change, I've returned the rejected connections to a more "normal" count (<200k per week). Should have done it earlier.
If you could dig up some log samples (and optionally make a stricter regex) this could be merged upstream. I did some recent work here (github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/pull/251) however I haven't run an exim server and have limited log samples to go off.
This would be a great addition to the exim filter.
Good idea, I'll add the rejectlog lines to that post.


Jim Tatro lives in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, and has been volunteering his time for the past two years (2013–14) cleaning up the Union Cemetery there. The cemetery had been neglected for some years, with headstones buried beneath layers of dirt and brush.
Probing the site with a steel rod revealed a number of concealed stones. Some of these carried the Sackett name, prompting Jim to search the Internet, where he soon found the Sackett Family Association website.
Although unfamiliar with the procedure for sending digital photographs, Jim went out of his way to enlist the necessary help and has sent pictures illustrating his discoveries.
We are most grateful to Jim, both for his work on the cemetery clean-up and for taking the trouble to make contact with this contribution to the Sackett family history.

I think I'm about done with designing this blog. I'm at odds with how simple it looks and, at the same time, I think I like it because I want this site to be about the information and not about pretty pictures.
Note: There are separate links for the goarticles.com version and the ezinearticles.com version. The reason for this is that goarticles.com clips you at 15,000 characters (including spaces) and ezinearticles doesn't. Therefore, the versions you can find on goarticles.com are slightly different (and shorter) than the ezinearticles.com ones.

The 2003 Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 1 May 2003 to elect members of Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council in the West Midlands, England.
One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.

Campaign
Before the election the Conservatives ran the council with 28 seats, compared to 13 for Labour and 10 for the Liberal Democrats, with 17 seats being contested in the election. The election came after a by-election in Shirley West ward in March 2003, which saw the Liberal Democrats gain the seat on a swing of 26%, making that ward a key seat in the election.

Issues in the election included broad opposition to windfall development, while Labour campaigned on a north-south divide they said was evident in the council. Proposals for the expansion of Birmingham Airport divided the parties, with the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats opposing expansion, while almost all Labour councillors supported it. A recent increase in council tax of 11% was another issue in the election, with the ruling Conservative group blaming the increase on the national Labour government due to a change in the grant, but the Labour Local Government Minister Nick Raynsford said the increase was double that of other local Labour controlled councils.

Election result
The results saw the Conservatives keep a 5-seat majority on the council. The Conservatives gained one seat from the Liberal Democrats in Packwood ward, but lost another one back to the Liberal Democrats in Shirley West.

This result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections :

Last week, we told the story of Earl Sampson, a convenience store worker based in Miami Gardens. Sampson has been arrested at least 62 times by Miami Gardens police for simply "trespassing" at his place of employment. The situation got so bad that Sampson's employer who owns the store, installed surveillance cameras to capture the injustice.
Now, the City of Miami Gardens and its police department has been slapped with a lawsuit for the behavior.
"Over the course of approximately five years, spanning from 2008 to 2013, Mr. Saleh's Quick Stop was unlawfully searched without reasonable suspicion or arguable probable cause, numerous times by MGPD (Miami Gardens Police Department) officers," the complaint says.
"In addition, MGPD officers have engaged in a policy, practice and/or custom of stopping-and-frisking, searching, seizing, and arresting patrons of his Quick Stop while they are on the premises for loitering or trespassing," it added.
Miami Gardens is 80 percent black. The complaint said the arrests and searches at the store were executed despite protest from Saleh who told police the people in question had his full permission to be there.
The complaint also alleges that the tactics executed by Miami Gardens police have led to benefits and promotions to officers who met strict monthly quotas for the number of citations and arrest issued.
Will the lawsuit make a difference in how law enforcement tactics are executed?
Or will this just simply be another payoff to counter bad press for the city and department?

Lawyer says dispute over $300 in unpaid wages…

Lawyer says dispute over $300 in unpaid wages cost him about $100,000
January 10, 2019, 11:24 am CST
A Southern California lawyer says he's giving up the fight after a dispute regarding a former employee's claim for about $300 in unpaid wages cost him about $100,000.
The lawyer, Thomas Beck, told the Recorder that he won't seek further review after an appeals court decision last week requiring him to pay about $57,000 in appellate attorney fees.
The court "rejected all my arguments and made new law," Beck told the Recorder. "I'm sorry about the anxiety this has cost me, and the financial cost is overwhelming."
Beck's problems began in November 2013, when his payroll service shorted a departing employee about $300, and the employee filed a claim with the California agency that enforces state labor laws, according to the decision published Jan. 2. The labor commissioner awarded the employee the $300 plus more than $5,700 in damages, interest and statutory penalties, bringing the total award to about $6,000.
A trial court awarded the employee about $6,700 in a de novo review and ordered Beck to pay about $31,000 for the employee's legal fees. A California appeals court affirmed and said the parties should "bear their own costs of appeal."
Beck said the order meant he did not have to pay appellate attorney fees; the employee disagreed and sought appellate attorney fees in the trial court. The employee was awarded $57,000 in appellate fees plus an additional $9,000 in fees incurred when Beck filed a motion to reconsider the ruling.
The California Court of Appeal's Second District affirmed in its latest decision. "This case began as a dispute over approximately $300 in unpaid wages," the court said. "It has since transmogrified into a dispute concerning attorney fees totaling nearly 200 times that amount."
The Recorder said Beck made "a crucial mistake" when he first appealed the labor commissioner's decision but failed to file a cover sheet indicating the case was a limited civil case, with an amount in controversy less than $25,000.
Beck had argued in his first appeal that the case was limited, which meant the employee's motion for attorney fees was filed after applicable 30-day deadline. The appeals court had disagreed in its first opinion, finding a 60-day deadline in unlimited cases applies.
Beck pointed to a different error. "I made the mistake of representing myself," he told the Recorder.
The case is Stratton v. Beck.

The Doctrine of Creation in the Remainder of Genesis – Genesis 10-50
Jan 17, 2015 | Creation
What does Genesis 1 describe? (Literal six-day creation of the universe out of nothing.) Does Genesis 2 in any way question or limit this church's understanding of the first chapter? What does it add to that account? Genesis 3 describes humanity's "sinfulization." Who brought humanity under the dominion of sin? (Those whom God created.) Genesis 4 describes Cain and Abel; why is it impossible to separate this chapter from the Creation? (Sons of the people that God directly created.) What does Genesis 5:1-2 teach us about Creation? What does Genesis 6:7 teach us about Creation? Is it logical to believe in Creation without believing what the Bible says about the Flood? If someone believes that there is physical evidence for the Flood, could he disbelieve in Creation? What right did God have to destroy all those people? What are some of the aspects of the Flood which closely connect it with Creation? (Behavior of the animals, the miraculous nature of the flood waters, etc.) After the flood, God gave Noah permission to do what with the animals? What did the Lord require in regard to preparing those animals for food? Why? In that regard, what was God's law in regard to the murder of people? What specific thing did God state as an argument for capital punishment? Genesis 9:5-6 – "And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." So then, how closely connected is capital punishment to divine Creation? In the light of man's abandonment of the truth about Creation, are we surprised that man is trying to abandon capital punishment as well?
The Doctrine of Creation prior to Abraham.
How does Genesis 10:1 link itself to the Creation? What bearing does this have on the arguments of the evolutionists? From Genesis 10:5 & 21, how do we know that this was written after Genesis 11? What important cities were built by Nimrod (10:10-11), and in what land or plain did he dwell? Of what branch of the human family did Nimrod descend? (Grandson of Ham.) Was this branch of the family the most spiritual and godly? Did Nimrod love the Creator and want to lead his family in the worship of the Lord? To what event do Genesis 10:5, 25 and 32 refer, and how does that relate to Creation?
As the Tower of Babel was being built (Genesis 11:1-2) who was likely the man in charge? How does the Tower of Babel, disprove some of the evolutionary theories? (One source of people.) What was the declared purpose for the Tower (11:4)? Did the people really think that their tower would reach into Heaven? What is the likelihood that the Tower of Babel had something to do with Astrology and the worship of the Heavens? It is generally agreed by most Bible scholars that Nimrod was a key ingredient in the origination of various aspects of false religion. How did God's confounding human language testify to Creation? Could it be that there was a different language given to every family mentioned in Genesis 10? That would be about 70 different languages – confusing and confounding indeed. There are a lot of languages with similarities; are there any completely different from most others? What should that event have accomplished in the hearts of those people?
(I would be curious to know what Shem and his family thought about that Tower and what he might have tried to do about it.) Assuming that Shem did not participate in Nimrod's rebellion, what is the likelihood that his language was not changed? Was it the mere lack of communication which drove the various families apart? (The Creator did it.)
Shem to Abraham. How long did Shem live before he died? (500 years.) How old was he when his son, Arphaxad, was born? (100.) Genesis 11 describes eight generations following Shem to Abraham. Were people living as long at this time as those preceding Noah? Why? The average age of the father at the birth of his first born son was about 30, with the exception of Terah who was 70 when Abraham was born. What is 7 times 30? (210 years.) What is 210 + 100 (Shem's age at the birth of Arphaxad) + 70 (Terah's age at birth of Abraham)? (380) If Shem lived 600 years after the birth of his son, was he still alive when Abraham was born? Do we have much of a link between Abraham and Noah? Do we have much of a link between Noah and Seth and Adam? So is it possible that Abraham was given the actual details of Creation as known by Noah and Shem? We don't have proof of these things, but they are certainly possible.
Abraham and Creation.
Did Abraham grow up in a "Christian" home, properly worshiping the Creator? (Joshua 24:2.) How did Abraham become a child of God? The Lord commanded him to leave Ur in the Chaldees and proceed where? What was the Lord's promise to Abraham? (The land, blessings, and curses on those who cursed him.) By what right did God make these promises? By what power could God fulfil these promises?
It is not my intention to survey the entire Bible. I will be skipping a lot of material which doesn't relate to Creation in some fashion. Abraham and his nephew Lot parted company and Lot moved where? From what we know, where was Sodom? Why did he want to live there? What sort of place was the area in the days of the Lord Jesus, and what sort of climate did it have? To what does "the garden of the Lord" refer in Genesis 13:10 and how did it get that description? Doesn't this off-hand reference suggest the reality of the original garden of Eden?
In Genesis 14:9 Amraphel was king of what place? To whom does this reference take us? Also in this chapter we are introduced to mysterious Melchizedek. There are some who think that this is another name for either Job or Shem. If it was Shem, we have Abraham once again being linked to the Flood and thus to Creation. A great many Bible scholars however, teach that Melchizedek was Someone far more important. Who? In either case, we have Abraham linked very closely to Creation once again.
What does the Abrahamic covenant teach us about the authority of the Creator? What did Abraham's faith in the Lord, in regard to his childlessness, teach about his faith in the Creator? "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" Genesis 18:13. When Abraham called the Lord "the Judge of all the earth" (Genesis 18:25) was he being polite? What did he mean? What does that mean in regard to Creation? Was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah man-made (not man-caused)? If that destruction was nothing more than volcanic, could the preceding events (angels, warning, etc.) be explained naturally? How much power would a disaster like that require? What testimony does this give to the power of the Creator? What does it say about the authority of God?
Did Abraham worship the Lord through the sacrifice of offerings? Of course, the Lord could have given him instructions to have effect, but is it possible that he had learned about them from Shem? Were the sacrifices which Abraham and his family offered any different from those of Adam and Seth? Could it be that they went right back to the Garden of Eden and the days immediately after the Fall?
How important was Abraham's son Isaac to the fulfilment of God's covenant with Abraham? When God told him to offer his son as a blood sacrifice, how do you think that this made him feel? Had he ever seen or even heard of someone being resurrected from the dead? When he indicated that despite Isaac's impending sacrifice, he would still be the on-going means of fulfilling the promise, what must he have been thinking? What does this suggest about Abraham's faith in the Creator?
By whom did Abraham make his servant swear before going to find a wife for Isaac (Genesis 24:3)? What would those words have meant to Abraham? Was his God nothing more than a tribal deity, as the evolutionists insist?
Isaac and Jacob.
Was there much temptation to Isaac, Jacob and Joseph to turn to the gods of Nimrod? Of course, it was by the grace of God that they retained their monotheistic theology, but could there have been any human or more casual causes as well? What is the likelihood that they were taught about the Creator from their childhoods? What possible reference could Jacob have been making, when in the course of his blessing on Dan, he spoke about "waiting for God's salvation?"
There is not much material on the Creation from Genesis 12-50, but the whole book is built on the foundation of Creation and makes perfect sense in that light. The various theories of evolution cannot be easily squeezed into the logic and language of these chapters.
There is one other piece of evidence to the Creation/sin/Flood effect. Noah lived to be 950 years; his son Shem lived to be 600. Terah 205; Abraham 175; Isaac 180; Jacob 147; and Joseph, 110. Notice the constant decline in age, with the exception of Isaac, until the time of Moses and the common life span of 70 years. Not only is there good evidence of the cataclysmic changes that the Flood involved, but the math in this indicates that the time between the Flood and the Exodus was the 900 years that the Hebrew text suggests.
The Book of Genesis gives consistent evidence to the reality of the Creation and the Flood.

What with winning the FedEx Cup, getting to world No.1, starring in Europe's latest Ryder Cup win, and playing host to the British Masters at Walton Heath, it's been a pretty good month for Justin Rose.
The cherry on top came earlier this week when he was presented with one of the most rare and exclusive pieces of golf silverware – the Royal Selangor Trophy.
The Royal Selangor Trophy is presented annually to the golfer with the lowest total score in the four major championships in any one calendar year.
It combines the scores from the four rounds of the Masters, the US Open, the Open Championship and the US PGA Championship and, to be eligible, a golfer has to have played and made the cut in all four events.
The competition dates back to 1960 but the current trophy was first awarded in 1999 to Tiger Woods.
This year, 11 players played all four in all four majors, with Englishman Rose posting the lowest combined score of 12-under-par.
He was T12 at the Masters (-6), T10 at the US Open (+7), joint runner-up at The Open (-6), and T19 at the US PGA (-7).
That was one better than his closest challenger Rickie Fowler, the winner of the Royal Selangor Trophy in 2014.


NEW YORK — Adjusting to being a caregiver is challenging enough for new parents, even before you add the complexities that come with being a gay parent.
Peter Parnell, recently author of the book for "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" on Broadway, is also a screenwriter, and has written a tender domestic comedy called "Dada Woof Papa Hot" about the joys and trials of being a gay father in contemporary New York City.
Staged with smooth economy by Scott Ellis, a pleasing production opened Monday night off-Broadway at Lincoln Center's thrust-stage Mitzi Newhouse Theater.
Gay and straight parents exchange confidences and advice about raising their young children, and we see the results on their relationships and sense of self as they evolve over a year. There is plenty of frank dialogue about sexuality, too, amid the parenting- and relationship-related conversations.
Patrick Breen and John Benjamin Hickey play a married pair of middle-aged dads, whose still-loving relationship has naturally altered since the arrival of their now 4-year-old daughter Nikki in similar ways to those experienced by straight parents. Breen wears a confident, loving air as psychologist Rob, who absolutely adores fatherhood, while Hickey makes insecure Alan into a likeable mope. Annoyed that he's apparently less-favored by Nikki than Rob is, Alan reminds Rob that he didn't really want to have a child and reminisces about the days when they did a lot of traveling.
They make friends and compare notes with a pair of dads in their mid-30s, portrayed by Stephen Plunkett and Alex Hurt. Hurt, whose character Jason is a carefree throwback to sexually promiscuous gay men, at times seems a little uncomfortable in his role. Jason's promiscuity also seems to be at odds with everyone else's apparent domesticity, although a few other possible infidelities creep into the story.


Sweden's export credit agency, EKN, has since December 2003 been open for cover for letters of credit issued by Trade Bank of Iraq. The arrangement has been based on an agreement signed by a number of Export Credit Agencies, Trade Bank of Iraq and the Coalition Provisional Authority. Since the hand over of power in Iraq to the interim government on June 28, the agreement is no longer in force.
EKN has, against this background, decided to close for new business on Trade Bank of Iraq. The development in Iraq is followed closely with the aim to resume cover in the near future.


Is that the kind of judgement we want in our next Mayor?
Using power to pardon hundreds of convicted criminals. Cayetano can't be trusted.
Pro-rail candidate Kirk Caldwell secured nearly 53 percent of the vote to Cayetano's 45 percent.
Pacific Resource Partnership, an arm of the Carpenters Union in Honolulu, hired Hamburger Company in 2012 to launch an Independent Expenditure campaign targeting former Governor Ben Cayetano in his race for Honolulu Mayor. Cayetano was an opponent of a new light rail plan that other candidates, and PRP, supported. Anti-rail voters coalesced around Cayetano, who'd been a popular governor, valuting him into the lead well ahead of two other candidates who split the anti-rail vote.
Cayetano's lead dwindled with every week, and "Pen" was the ad that sealed his fate, helping pro-rail mayoral candidate Kirk Caldwell secure a convincing victory against a two-term Democratic governor and rail opponent, Cayetano.
Cayetano said a poll by his campaign showed that PRP's primary election spots were able to cut into his voter base. "It may have cost us a win in the primary, because I think we lost five points or so, according to the poll," he said.
This ad was recognized by the American Association of Political Consultants with a Silver Pollie Award for Best Use of Negative Contrast, Mayor.
