El Renault R28 fue un monoplaza que usó Renault para competir en la temporada 2008 de Fórmula 1. Los pilotos que lo condujeron fueron Fernando Alonso, bicampeón de Fórmula 1 con la escudería francesa; y el entonces debutante en la máxima categoría Nelson Piquet, Jr.. El R28 fue presentado el 31 de enero de 2008 en Boulogne-Billancourt (sureste de París), con la presencia de Carlos Ghosn (Presidente de Renault), Bernard Rey (Presidente de Renault F1), Flavio Briatore (jefe de equipo), Alonso, Piquet y los pilotos de pruebas: Romain Grosjean, Lucas di Grassi y Sakon Yamamoto. Rey explicó sus expectativas para la temporada 2008, en la que aspiraban a volver a luchar por el campeonato tras el mal sabor de boca que dejó el R27:

Temporada 2008

El R28 debutó en el Gran Premio de Australia, con un abandono de Piquet y un cuarto puesto de Alonso. Sin embargo, pronto se comprobaría que esa cuarta posición fue un espejismo, ya que el coche era de los peores de la parrilla, con unas prestaciones similares a las del Honda RA108. El debutante Piquet solía caer en las Q1 y no lograba puntuar, mientras que sólo algunos destellos de talento de Alonso maquillaban un poco sus carencias. La primera evolución del bólido llegó en el Gran Premio de España, con los dos pilotos pasando holgadamente a la Q3 pero sin suerte en la carrera. Nelson consiguió por fin inaugurar su casillero de puntos en Francia, mientras Fernando seguía peleándose con el monoplaza para lograr un podio. A partir del Gran Premio de Alemania, Alonso vio que era imposible dar la campanada en el cuerpo a cuerpo y se tomó la segunda mitad del año con más calma. Desde el Gran Premio de Hungría, el trabajo de Renault para evolucionar el coche y el talento de Alonso hicieron que el R28 saliera de sus cenizas y pasase a ser el tercer mejor bólido, solo por detrás del Ferrari F2008 y del McLaren MP4-23. Piquet pasó a puntuar con bastante más frecuencia y Alonso consiguió dos espectaculares victorias en Singapur y Japón, además de otros buenos resultados y de ser el piloto que más puntos sumó en las últimas carreras. Ese gran sprint final permitió a Renault acabar cuarto en el mundial de constructores con 80 puntos.

Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) es un servicio de colas de mensajes distribuidos creado por Amazon.com y disponible a mediados de 2006.  Admite el envío programático de mensajes a través de aplicaciones de servicios web como una forma de comunicarse a través de Internet. SQS está diseñado para proporcionar una cola de mensajes alojada altamente escalable que resuelve los problemas que surgen del problema común de productor-consumidor o la conectividad entre productor y consumidor.

Amazon SQS puede describirse como una mercantilización del servicio de mensajería. Ejemplos bien conocidos de tecnologías de servicios de mensajería incluyen IBM WebSphere MQ y Microsoft Message Queuing. A diferencia de estas tecnologías, los usuarios no necesitan mantener su propio servidor porque Amazon lo hace por ellos y vende el servicio SQS con una tarifa por uso.

API
Amazon proporciona SDK en varios lenguajes de programación, incluidos Java, Ruby, Python, .NET, PHP, Go y JavaScript. En diciembre de 2014 se lanzó un cliente Java Message Service (JMS) 1.1 para Amazon SQS.

Autenticación
Amazon SQS proporciona procedimientos de autenticación para permitir el manejo seguro de los datos. Amazon utiliza su identificación de Amazon Web Services (AWS) para hacer esto, lo que requiere que los usuarios tengan una cuenta habilitada para AWS con Amazon.com. AWS asigna un par de identificadores relacionados, sus claves de acceso de AWS, a una cuenta habilitada para AWS para realizar la identificación. El primer identificador es una clave de acceso pública de 20 caracteres. Esta clave se incluye en una solicitud de servicio de AWS para identificar al usuario. Si el usuario no utiliza SOAP (protocolo) con WS-Security, se calcula una firma digital utilizando la clave de acceso secreta. La clave de acceso secreta es un identificador privado de 40 caracteres. AWS utiliza el ID de clave de acceso proporcionado en una solicitud de servicio para buscar la clave de acceso secreta de una cuenta. Amazon.com luego calcula una firma digital con la clave. Si coinciden, el usuario se considera auténtico; si no, la autenticación falla y la solicitud no se procesa.

Entrega de mensajes
Amazon SQS garantiza la entrega al menos una vez . Los mensajes se almacenan en varios servidores por motivos de redundancia y para garantizar la disponibilidad. Si se entrega un mensaje mientras un servidor no está disponible, es posible que no se elimine de la cola de ese servidor y que se vuelva a enviar. , Amazon SQS no garantiza que el destinatario recibirá los mensajes en el orden en que fueron enviados por el remitente. Si el orden de los mensajes es importante, se requiere que la aplicación coloque información de secuencia dentro de los mensajes para permitir el reordenamiento después de la entrega.

Los mensajes pueden ser de cualquier tipo y los datos contenidos en ellos no están restringidos. Los cuerpos de los mensajes se limitaron inicialmente a un tamaño de 8 KB, pero luego se elevaron a 64 KB el 1 de julio de 2010 y luego a 256 KB el 18 de junio de 2013. Para mensajes más grandes, el usuario tiene algunas opciones para sortear esta limitación. Un mensaje grande se puede dividir en varios segmentos que se envían por separado, o los datos del mensaje se pueden almacenar mediante Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) o Amazon DynamoDB con solo un puntero a los datos transmitidos en el mensaje SQS. Amazon ha puesto a disposición una biblioteca de cliente extendida para este propósito.

El servicio admite colas ilimitadas y tráfico de mensajes.

Eliminación de mensajes
SQS no elimina automáticamente los mensajes una vez que se envían. Cuando se entrega un mensaje, se genera un identificador de recibo para esa entrega y se envía al destinatario. Estos recibos no se envían con el mensaje sino además de él. SQS requiere que el destinatario proporcione el recibo para eliminar un mensaje. Esta función es nueva a partir de 2008, donde solo se requería el ID del mensaje para eliminar el mensaje. Debido a que el sistema es distribuido, un mensaje puede enviarse más de una vez. En este caso, se necesita el identificador de recepción más reciente para eliminar el mensaje. Además, el identificador de recibo puede tener otras restricciones de validez; por ejemplo, el identificador de recibo solo puede ser válido durante el tiempo de espera de visibilidad (ver más abajo).

Una vez que se entrega un mensaje, tiene un tiempo de espera de visibilidad para evitar que otros componentes lo consuman. El "reloj" para el tiempo de espera de visibilidad comienza una vez que se envía un mensaje, el tiempo predeterminado es de 30 segundos. Si no se le indica a la cola que elimine el mensaje durante este tiempo, el mensaje vuelve a ser visible y estará presente.

Cada cola también consta de un parámetro de retención predeterminado de 4 días. Cualquier mensaje que resida en la cola durante más tiempo se eliminará automáticamente. La retención puede ser modificada desde 1 minuto hasta 14 días por el usuario. Si se cambia la retención mientras los mensajes ya están en la cola, se eliminará cualquier mensaje que haya estado en la cola durante más tiempo que la nueva retención.

Caso de uso notable
Dropbox, Netflix  y Nextdoor  son ejemplos de empresas que utilizan SQS de forma generalizada. SQS también se usa ampliamente en Amazon.com.

The current issue (#20) has plenty to appeal to CDM readers: Matmos on the cover, a roundup of custom ensembles for Native Instruments Reaktor, gear and music reviews, and even live music coverage. The spirit of the magazine I think is embodied in this shot from Brooklyn's No Fun Festival. (Deathpile, photographed by Pierre Richardson.) I go for more of a well-groomed thang, myself, but it's great to see one magazine avoiding the hype and heading straight for electronic music's raunchy, punk underbelly. On the downside, the magazine continues to suffer from the "White guy hanging out along somewhere looking dour" syndrome with the artists it covers, but the online format makes it even easier to skip ahead to the geeky bits. And unlike some attempts to create online magazine interfaces, this one is fairly readable, with a download option.
Which do you think sells better? Now if we could somehow add a little of the latter to the CDM formula, I'm sure this could be really big. Oh, and tattoos. Gotta have tattoos.


The nights may be colder, but the days are just as sunny as they were in July and the temperatures are in their twenties. This is unusually warm for this time of year, but for once I'm not complaining about the heat. I quite enjoy when the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius.
The Spring was late, the Summer was late, now the Autumn is late, and if the trend continues, the Winter will be late too. It's been an odd year, but I've enjoyed seeing the seasons change. It's unusual, but not unheard of, just fun to compare to a more "normal" weather.
This thick fog has greeted me outside my windows every morning this week. On Monday I thought that, surely, this means Autumn has begun now.
I was wrong, this is what the sky looked like around noon on Monday — blue sky with aeroplane trails. People walking around without coats, soaking up the last warm days of Summer. Really lovely weather, but more and more clouds every day. Maybe it's time for Autumn after all?

'Intermission' is an experimental exhibition taking place at the former Collingwood Technical College (Melbourne, Australia). The buildings that form the Collingwood site have been a place of learning, creativity and collaboration since its days as the Collingwood School of Art and Design in 1871. Most of the site has remained unoccupied and vacant for 12 years, but is now on the eve of becoming a working arts precinct and cultural hub.
Photo: Nicole Reed
In the interval, a diverse crew of artists, curated by Goodie, are producing and installing work over three floors of one of the heritage buildings. The show brings together a line-up of local, national and international artists, of varying ages, genders, backgrounds and practices, ranging from graffiti, murals, installation, performance and sculpture.
In the building's current state, emptiness is an opportunity to experiment, collaborate, exhibit and develop new work in a unique space with a long history. Intermission seeks to connect artists and artistic communities, and showcase various voices and modes of making and exhibiting work.

'Onwards & Inwards', Kitt Bennett's latest solo exhibition explores sensations of life and consciousness. This series of small and large works on paper aims to create meaning in what we perceive to be unrelated phenomena around us. Bennett is driven to explore how our possessions inform our individuality, and of how our internal and external worlds connect. In this series, Bennett uses his trademark illustrative comic style, in an attempt to maintain a playful balance between both the humorous and the darkly thought provoking aspects of our existence.

Ryan Hurd Remembers Late Brother With Heartfelt Message: "He Was Remarkable"
Colleen Matthews
Katie Kauss / Ryan Hurd Instagram (@ryanhurd)
On August 23, 2010, Ryan Hurd's little brother, Andrew, was killed in a car accident at the age of 16. 8 years later, Ryan is now married to Maren Morris and building a life in Nashville— but not without carrying his grief and remembrance of his late brother with him.
Ryan took to Instagram to share a picture of Andrew, along with a heartfelt message about grief:
"We lost this kid 8 years ago today. I am usually very guarded publicly but I just wish that every single one of you could have known how special my little brother Andrew was. I've watched my Mom and my Dad have to learn how to live after losing a child. I've seen my brother and especially my little sister grow up and become exceptional people in the face of unspeakable grief," he said.
"I wish Maren could have gotten to know that part of me that we can only talk about now, but mostly we just miss him. Even at 16, he was remarkable. If you care to know more, there is a link in my bio to his biography that I wrote only a month after he passed. Nothing can ever make it ok, but we are all so proud that we got to know him, and if you are living with loss right now, I hope that you read this like it's a giant hug from the Hurds just for you. Love you buddy. Miss you every day."

Maren commented on Ryan's post, saying, "I didn't know Andrew but I see him in every picture and every memory of my beautiful Hurd family. I feel so blessed to be in your life and hope that he would have been proud of our love. I love you so much, Ryan. You're the best big brother."

"Healing our bodies, returning to natural patterns of sleeping and eating and being in community and with the earth...whatever that looks like for you, may be the first steps towards sustainability and balance.
"For me it started with tapping into my own abundant energy field by harvesting greens with my own hands, from local soil and herbs and local seasonal fruit and blending all into a power pack of life and richness. All of this is what we share with community via "The Electric Smoothie Lab Apothecary."
"This is an amazing opportunity to make meals for folks using food that would otherwise end up in the dumpster because it was unattractive and therefore unsellable. In America every year, billions of pounds of edible food ends up as waste, even though a quarter of households do not have enough food to make it through to the end of the month.
"I see a vision clearly before my eyes: children happy healthy preparing their own green smoothies and enjoying the abundance of the Earth as God intends for us to enjoy."

Petrescu, Dan et al. "Brazde peste haturi" revisited, 1983. Manuscris
During the search of 18 May 1983, among the objects confiscated from the collection of Dan Petrescu and Thérèse Culianu-Petrescu were forty-five typed leaves of a manuscript representing an unusual literary project: the collective novel "Furrows Across the Baulks" revisited. The manuscript had four authors. In addition to Dan Petrescu, these were Luca Piţu, George Pruteanu, and Sorin Antohi. "Furrows Across the Baulks" revisited was a rewriting, in a satirical register, of a quite well-known proletkultist novel by the Hungarian writer István Horváth, translated into Romanian in 1953. The original title Furrows Across the Baulks had inspired the rereading of the collectivisation process in an ironic key by the four young intellectuals. The manuscript existed in a single copy, which passed from hand to hand with each of the four adding a chapter, so at the time of the search all material trace of the existence of this collective literary enterprise was lost. Regarding its confiscation, Dan Petrescu recalls: "At the same time they asked me about the novel ['Furrows Across the Baulks' revisited]. I said to them: 'Why are you still looking for it? Because you've already got it.' They had taken it from George Pruteanu. […] It didn't exist in more than one manuscript. There were no copies. It passed from one to the next and each one added to it. They were also looking for letters in the search." The Securitate had found out about the existence of this satirical novel at the end of 1982, when at the Young Writer colloquium in Buzău, Sorin Antohi read pages from the collective manuscript, imitating Ceaușescu's voice when excerpts from Gheorghiu-Dej's speeches were cited. According to the Securitate's evaluation, in this novel "the policy of the Party regarding co-operativisation is ridiculed, […] with suggestive allusions to the higher leadership of the Party and of the state." The public reading of the manuscript at this colloquium effectively meant its dissemination at national level, and what might just about have been tolerated at local level became dangerous when it came to have an influence on others.
By the time of its confiscation, the novel had an introduction by Dan Petrescu and nine chapters, each by one of the four authors, as follows: "Şi caii se împuşcă, nu–i aşa?" (They shoot horses, don't they) (Sorin Antohi); "Un chirov, două chiroave" (One Chirov [tractor], two Chirov[s] [tractors]) (Dan Petrescu); "Din neagra țigănie, mânca–ți–aş!" (From black gypsydom, damn it!) (George Pruteanu); "Visul tovarăşului inginer agronom" (The dream of Comrade Engineer Agronomist) (Luca Pițu); "Azi e zi de sărbătoare" (Today is a festival day) (Sorin Antohi); "Iar steluța cea de sus, ce-o mai fi având de spus?"(Little star up in the sky, what more do you have to say?) (Dan Petrescu); "Vicii la Sfat" (Vices at the Council) (George Pruteanu); "Dictotaurul" (The dictataurus) (Luca Pițu); "Ascensiunea lui Iordache Leahu poate fi oprită" (The rise of Iordache Leahu can be stopped) (Luca Pițu). The action takes place in the village of Chipeşeni, in the commune of Dimparis, a transparent allusion to the Paris Commune (in Romanian, "Comuna din Paris," barely masked by the replacement of "n" by "m" before "p" as required by the rules of Romanian orthography). Twenty-three of the forty-five pages confiscated during the search have been discovered in the CNSAS Archives. They represent, as Sorin Antohi has put it, an "embryo of samizdat," whose cultural references are carefully camouflaged through the use of sophisticated language. Understood only by a very limited public, this manner of encrypting messages was characteristic of the period, and was one of the most commonly used strategies to fool the censors, but it had the great disadvantage of making for "difficult reading even at the time." Now the novel is "a text whose cultural references are effectively foreign to young people." According to Dan Petrescu, however, a Securitate officer reckoned during the interrogations of 1983 that the publication of such novel at that time would have twisted young people's minds. The fragments discovered in the CNSAS Archives were published in the volume Artelul Textual - «Brazde peste haturi» revisited: Pagini salvate dintr-un samizdat colectiv (The textual [c]artel – "Furrows across the baulks" revisited: Saved pages from a collective samizdat) (Iași: Editura Opera Magna, 2011).

Hope you are growing as we try and share more lessons on how learn how to play the piano or keyboard. I'd like to thank all for supporting this blog. It means a lot! It also encourages me to continue to practice as well.
Please note that if you are entirely new to playing the piano or keyboard, I would suggest you look at my previous lessons (First lesson, Number system, Major triads and Building on Major Minor), This lesson will focus on the song as well as incorporating the melody to the major and minor chords. THE MELODY NOTE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE FURTHEST NOTE IN YOUR RIGHT HAND CHORD!!! Please remember this at all times!
Once you played the 7 chord for "Oh", add G#-F#-E on your right hand pinkie to cover the "o-Oh my" part in Oh my soul then move to the 6 chord. The 6 chord gets played over the "soul" part.
If you want, add a grace note C#-D# on your right hand. You can also play the root chord in your left hand.
There we go. That's the whole chorus covered. Now to play the verses. The verse is fairly straight forward so lets look at the progressions first.
This is a much fuller chord because it contains the 7th scale degree added on the left hand and you play a full octave with an added 9 on the right hand. Please see if you can notice the difference! The next part on the 1 chord will cover the "pass and" section of the line, and it can be played like the previously played 1 chord. Can you still remember this one?
Then just end on the 1 chord with E major triad in the 1st inversion position.
That's it! This was really fun. I hope you've learned something new from this lesson.
Please remember to check out my Youtube channel where you can access all my previous lessons for free! Also subscribe to my email list on the top right hand side of this article, that way you could receive notifications to my latest lessons!

Plastic mulch…what can it do for you?
Then you can benefit from these mulches. It does the above work for you while you do something else with your time.
and prevent evaporation (the soil remains moist).
They increase production by trapping carbon dioxide. Your crops need carbon dioxide. It is used to generate food (via photosynthesis).
This gas builds up under the plastic. But if you bore tiny holes in the plastic mulch, then the carbon dioxide escapes right under the leaves of vegetables. So the plant has a surplus supply of gas for food.
Less fertilizer is lost from the soil. The plastic reduces the flow of water in and out the soil so you're expensive fertilizers won't be washed away that easily.
And because you grew them earlier…you'll reap them before the onslaught of pests begins. Straightforward, isn't it?
In some cases the vegetables are harvested a staggering 14 to 21 days earlier than usual. So while your neighbors complain about pest problems you're crops would have escaped untouched.
Infrared transmitting (IRT) mulches which are green in color and allows infrared light to penetrate. They're superior to black mulches in terms of performance.
Red selective reflecting mulches (SMR-Red). These boost production of tomatoes (and also closely related crops like eggplants). They reflect light waves in the red spectrum to increase production. (Studies show increase in yields up to 4 times).
If you it's in your budget, why not hire a landscaper to lay the mulch and drip irrigation system.
You can also purchase some wood chippings to cover the plastic. They're more striking but are also expensive. (Don't use straw to cover plastic. Straw may still have seeds which can grow into weeds).
If your garden is small you can easily install the mulch. But if it's big more effort is required.
But once it's set up in your vegetable garden, you'll benefit. You'll cut down the amount of hours spent in your garden.
So give the plastic mulch a try.

In Conclusion,
A pump-and-dump scheme is a type of market manipulation and financial fraud in which members of a group purchase security and then persuade others to do the same. The goal is to illegally "inflate" the price of a stock, cryptocurrency, or other overpriced investment. But, before long, the price falls precipitously, and the pump-and-dump strategy collapses. Let's see more about how this pump-and-dump scheme works and how you can avoid it.
A pump-and-dump scheme is a deceptive scheme that aims to raise the price of a stock or investment by making false recommendations. These recommendations are based on inaccurate, misleading, or excessively overstated statements. The perpetrators of a pump-and-dump scam already have a position in the company's stock and will sell after the hype has caused the share price to rise.
According to securities law, this activity is prohibited and can result in large fines. The industry's rising popularity of cryptocurrencies has led to the emergence of pump-and-dump operations.
Cold calling was commonly used in pump-and-dump tactics. Most of this online activity has evolved since the introduction of the Internet; fraudsters can now send hundreds of thousands of emails to naïve targets or post statements online, pushing investors to acquire a stock rapidly.
These messages generally claim to have inside information about a forthcoming event that will result in a big increase in the share price. When buyers flood in and the stock skyrockets, the perpetrators of the pump-and-dump scam sell their shares. In these cases, the volume of these shares sold is frequently large, leading the stock price to plummet dramatically. In the end, many investors suffer massive losses.
Pump-and-dump strategies target micro- and small-cap stocks on less regulated over-the-counter exchanges than official ones. Because they are easier to manipulate, micro-cap and small-cap stocks are preferred for this abusive behavior. Micro-cap stocks typically have a low trading volume, a small float, and little company information. As a result, it does not take many new purchasers to push a stock much higher.
The pump-and-dump strategy inspired two successful films: "Boiler Room" and "The Wolf of Wall Street." Both films depicted a warehouse filled with telemarketing stockbrokers pitching penny stocks. In each case, the brokerage business was a market maker and held substantial stock in companies with dubious prospects. High commissions and bonuses were offered to brokers in exchange for placing the stock in as many customer accounts as possible. By doing so, the brokers drove up the price by selling large quantities.
When the selling volume hit critical mass and there were no more buyers, the company sold its shares for a significant profit. This caused the stock price to fall, often below the original selling price, resulting in substantial losses for customers unable to sell their shares in time.
The crypto market has emerged as the most recent venue for pump-and-dump scams. The extraordinary gains made by Bitcoin and Ethereum have sparked massive interest in cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, due to the lack of regulation in the cryptocurrency market, its opaqueness, and the technical complexity of cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrencies are particularly well-suited for pump-and-dump scams.
A 2018 study looked at the incidence of pump-and-dump strategies in the bitcoin market. Over six months, researchers observed two prominent group-messaging platforms used by cryptocurrency speculators and discovered over 3,400 such schemes.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) of the United States urged customers in March 2021 to avoid pump-and-dump schemes that can occur in lightly traded or nascent cryptocurrencies. The CFTC also announced a program that would let any whistleblower to receive a monetary reward of 10% to 30% if they revealed original enforcement action that resulted in economic sanctions of $1 million or more against a pump-and-dump operation.
Every phase of the pump and dump concept is difficult, but the first phase is challenging. The ring of criminals must devise a comprehensive plan of attack to generate excitement for security, but more crucially, for people withdrawing their own cash.
The strategy might be as simple as disseminating a false news report. It can also be as complicated as a planned operation of press releases, phony case studies, and TV coverage.
The larger the reach, the more sophisticated the scheme and the better the execution.
The markup's purpose is to have as many public investors as possible deeply involved in an as short period as possible.
Remember, the strategy will fail if it takes a year to build up the stock because someone will call BS on all the claims of greatness.
This appears simple, but it requires some talent as well. The dishonest investors must now figure out how to liquidate their investment without producing too much volatility in the stock. This lets them command the highest share price and walk away with the most significant money.
As the stock rockets upward, the unlawful participants will need to time their sell transaction perfectly, most likely on a morning gap higher.
This phase is nothing short of a crash. The stock drops like a rock.
This is when the panic sets in for retail investors who have either lost their paper fortunes or had their million-dollar trading ambitions dashed.
Understanding how a pump-and-dump scheme works is the best approach to prevent them. Here's how to spot these con artists and avoid them.
Pump-and-dump scams can occur in various investments. Always research to ensure that you understand what you're investing in and that it's legal.
If you're considering investing in a hot new cryptocurrency, look into the developers (the team behind the project) and any product or service being provided to investors. Look for third-party website reviews to understand what others say about the project. If you are worried about the investment's validity, look for another opportunity.
Pump-and-dump schemes are frequently built on conjecture and hype rather than strong business or financial procedures. For example, the sentiment surrounding a certain stock may be illogical. The company may lose money or have little revenue, but the stock price suddenly rises. If you can't explain why the price is growing, it could be a warning that it's too high or that you're dealing with a pump-and-dump strategy.
Remember that when you invest, you are wagering on the company's future. Be mindful of companies that are not yet profitable, and examine why you would invest in them.
It's also vital to know that stock prices might fluctuate. If you're considering a stock with a high price, keep in mind that stocks might fall in value and cause you to lose money quickly.
A pump-and-dump scheme is based on sensationalism and a false feeling of urgency. A third party, such as a newsletter or a social media account, frequently provides the hype. If you're considering an investment and the individual selling it to you isn't someone you trust, the hoopla could be part of the hoax.
Pump-and-dump schemes rely on investors who assume that a stock's price will rise. You can determine whether a stock is likely to be a good or bad investment by conducting your research.
Examine a company's financial accounts and earnings reports to see whether it is profitable and growing. You should also consider the competitive landscape to see how well the organization can compete.
High valuations or a lack of earnings are red flags of a possible pump-and-dump strategy.
Pump-and-dump schemes rely on a sense of impending doom and a dread of losing out. These scams rely on people wanting to get in on the activity and thinking that the opportunity will pass them by if they don't act.
Ben and Jason are stock market participants. Ben invests $5,000 in a company by purchasing 1000 shares for $5 each. He then starts disseminating false information about the corporation being a public sector entity due to great performance based on inside information.
In three days, the stock price rises to $30. Jason notices that the price is rising. He purchases 1000 shares of the company at $30 each, bringing his total investment to $300,000.
The share price quickly jumps to $50 per share. Ben decides to leave the market to benefit. He sells all of his shares for a $45000 profit. With the rumors fading and no significant increase, the share price falls to $5 per share. While Ben is swimming in cash, Jason is drowning in debt.
Pump and dump examples are common in the financial news. Fearing they may miss out on a fantastic chance, inexperienced investors fall victim to the scam.
Spammy phone calls and brochures were popular methods of scamming in the past. Fraudsters with access to online trading gradually began spreading misinformation through emails, social media, and chat rooms, among other channels. Scammers typically promote via spamming communications.
Individual investors increased GameStop's share price from $20 to $483 in two weeks in January 2021. GameStop's stock dropped over 90% to $53.50 in February. Federal regulators suspected price manipulation and were looking into the buying frenzy for any indications of stock price manipulation.
When it comes to pump-and-dump tactics, cryptocurrency isn't far behind. Prosecutors charged John McAfee, the founder of the well-known anti-virus business, with making millions by allegedly manipulating the market price of several cryptocurrencies in 2021.
As previously stated, stock price manipulation through misleading information is a scam that frequently steals the victims' hard-earned money. As a result, it is unlawful under various laws and actions. Laws such as the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, among others, have sections that prohibit securities misstatements and fraud.
Depending on the circumstances, other laws may also be used to punish an offender. The SEC is constantly on the lookout for instances of stock price manipulation. The regulatory authority continues to charge offenders to protect innocent investors who bear the brunt of manipulation. Many government agencies also provide an anonymous reporting mechanism for offenders.
A pump and dump scheme involves raising the price of vulnerable stocks using misleading promotions and selling off the shares once their price booms. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) penalizes pump-and-dump perpetrators since the conduct is prohibited. Small-cap stocks are more vulnerable to this scam, and investors should be wary of strange hype.

Has Rowling Abandoned Her Roots?

Harry Potter authoress J.K. Rowling's foray into adult fiction has left some in the village of Tutshill, England, wondering what the creator of Muggles and wizards was really thinking about them all along. The petty, snobbish, hypocritical characters carry out their story in a world that—barren of dragons and wand-wielders—looks a little too much like home for some residents of Rawling's hometown. "The middle class is so funny," Rowling recently said in an interview. "It's the class I know best and it's the class where you find the most pretension." The magic she may be missing, however, is laughter.

Evanston Public Library bans my book talk on Palestine
Ali Abunimah 2 August 2014
My talk about my book has been canceled by the Evanston Public Library.
Evanston Public Library in the north shore suburbs of Chicago has canceled a talk I was scheduled to give on 11 August about my book The Battle for Justice in Palestine.
I consider this to be a politically motivated and blatant act of censorship.
It fundamentally contravenes the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights which states, among other things, that libraries "should challenge censorship" and "should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas."
I learned about the cancelation like everyone else, from a Tweet from the library's account that my talk would be "rescheduled," and from the fact that the event has been removed from its calendar.
We will reschedule Ali Abunimah's talk. With this complex issue, we now plan to schedule more speakers on other dates too.
— Evanston Public Lib. (@evanstonpl) August 2, 2014
To be clear, I have had no discussions with the library or the co-sponsors about rescheduling the event in the future. It was unilaterally canceled by library director Karen Danczak Lyons.
There were however clear warning signs that this act of censorship was about to take place.
The event had been initiated and co-sponsored by a local Evanston group called Neighbors for Peace, which had been working for months to schedule and organize the event.
On Friday, I received an email from Lesley Williams, director of Adult Services at the library:
Dear Mr. Abunimah,
I am very sorry to have to write to you today. A few weeks ago, when I was talking to the Evanston Library administrative team about your appearance here, I told my director that I was looking for a pro Israeli speaker for sometime in the fall. She told me she would be more comfortable if we had that nailed down before your reading.
Today she told me that since I have not yet confirmed a pro Israel speaker she want[s] us to cancel your appearance on the 11th. This was of course an enormous shock. I am hoping she will allow us to still have the program, but sponsored by Neighbors for Peace and not as a library sponsored event, but merely a room rental.
Williams said that members of Neighbors for Peace were discussing that option, and added:
Please accept my abject apologies. I had no idea the program would be cancelled if I didn't confirm an Israeli speaker before the 11th. I explained to her [the director] that re-scheduling a high profile writer and speaker like yourself will not be easy, but she is firm on the notion of "balance."
I will keep you informed of what gets decided. Let's hope for the best.
As noted, I learned from the library's Twitter feed today that the event has now been canceled.
Originally, the event had been scheduled for 4 August, but it was changed to 11 August at the request of Williams because the original date coincides with the eve of the Jewish holiday of Tisha B'Av, which in Jewish belief commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem.
In a 26 June email, Williams had asked if I would be open to changing the date so that my friend, the Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council member Rabbi Brant Rosen could introduce me – otherwise his pastoral duties would have kept him away.
I had no problem with that at all. But in a more troubling statement that reflects the political pressure the library is under, Williams wrote to me that Tisha B'Av is seen as "a day of great disasters for the Jewish people" and to "host a program on Israel and Palestine on that day could be seen as an intentional provocation and might antagonize some of the people we hope to reach."
On the alternative date of 11 August, Williams wrote, "there are no conflicts on either the library or the Jewish calendar."
I believe Williams has good intentions and was reflecting what she was told by others.
That is partly why, at the time, I kept my concern over her statement to myself and I agreed to change the date out of a desire to ensure that the event would be, and be seen to be, as inclusive and welcoming as possible.
It seems, however, that despite my efforts, I am the only person who is not welcome at the Evanston Public Library.
I had planned to read from my book a section providing context on the situation in Gaza as well as speaking about Israel's horrifying, ongoing massacre there which has killed more than 1,650 people, the vast majority of them civilians, including 300 children.
Thanks to director Karen Danczak Lyons' censorship edict, I won't have the chance to do that at the Evanston Public Library. But I will continue to do so everywhere else.

PLEASE ALERT ALI that I need to hear from him before I write an article for the Evanston Review about his library talk (and its earlier cancellation). I previously heard from Ms.Reigle, but need information from Ali to flesh out my piece. I am a former Evanstonian, graduate of Medill and former Wildcats Sports Information director. I can be contacted at: George Beres, 1990 Dogwood, Eugene, OR, and 541-344-0282 (cell: 541-521-5928) I write in behalf of Palestine.
Need updates

I had e-mailed this story when it first came out to our local librarian. This morning the librarian e-mailed me asking what has happened. Please continue to update it, as I think librarians as a rule don't like this kind of censorship.

A county crusade against a plan to close some roads on national-forest lands north and west of Dolores stalled last month when several appeals demanding greater motorized access were officially denied while one appeal seeking to reduce road density was upheld.
The successful appeal by Colorado Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, a group advocating for improved wildlife habitat, means the Boggy-Glade travel-management plan of the San Juan National Forest has been overturned.
The Forest Service considered appeals from seven entities regarding the travel plan, which was approved by Dolores District Ranger Steve Beverlin in August.
Appeals came from the Dolores County Commission, the Dolores County Development Corp., the Town of Dove Creek, the Dove Creek Chamber of Commerce, and two individuals, in addition to the successful appeal.
Appeals can be made only by entities that submitted comments during the original public-comment period. Montezuma County did not meet the deadline to give comments, but sent a letter of support for Dolores County's appeal, based on the belief that the counties would sustain economic hardships from the closure of roads used for hunting, firewood-gathering and other purposes by locals.
The issue of motorized access in the national forest has been hotly debated during packed Montezuma and Dolores commission meetings recently. There have been veiled threats against public-land agencies, increased vandalism of forest signs, theft of gates, and heated exchanges between the public and government officials, all highlighting the passions surrounding publiclands access.
Under the plan, 155 miles of roads were proposed for closure, but 93 miles were for administrative use only and were not open for public use anyway, Beverlin has said. The remaining 62 miles were to be replaced by 63 miles of ATV roads, he said.
The plan also banned cross-country motorized game retrieval in keeping with a similar trend on forests nationwide.
San Juan National Forest Supervisor Mark Stiles upheld the plan on all points raised in six of the appeals, but in a Nov. 12 decision letter, Stiles stated that two of nine points in the other warranted a reversal.
"My decision is to reverse the decision in whole based on . . .appeal points one and two," Stiles wrote.
Bob Marion, a volunteer "forest watcher" for the group that filed the justified appeal, did so in part because road densities in the new travel plan exceed thresholds established in the San Juan National Forest's recently revised Resource Management Plan to protect big-game habitat.
Those directives state that road density should be "moderate" and not exceed onehalf to one mile per square mile of constant roads, yet 40 percent of the travel-management plan area went over that limit, according to the appeal.
"Our interests are really wildlife and wildlife habitat and I don't think the decision adequately addressed those needs," Marion told the Free Press.
The travel plan put road density at 1.13 miles/square mile, or 0.13 over the maximum allowable range (equal to 19.9 miles of road) in the MA6B management area. The area covers 40 percent of the 245,800 acres in the travel plan, according to the appeal.
"This is a large variation from the prescribed density. Twenty miles of road in the MA6B area is far from negligible and amounts to a violation of the existing Forest Plan," the appeal states, which requests a decrease in the number of miles of roads to comply with the forest plan.
The second appeal point upheld by Stiles involved inconsistency with the overall forest plan regarding winter closure of trailheads to protect elk habitat.
Certain areas north and east of the Bradfield Bridge and west of Narraguinnep Canyon, including roads FR 504 and FR 504E, should be closed to winter motorized use to be consistent with the San Juan National Forest management plan, but are not, according to the appeal.
The area is important winter range for game and deserves protection from motorized use, according to the appeal. The Colorado Backcountry Hunters and Anglers group is concerned that a lack of winter refuge is a limiting factor for elk in the Boggy- Glade area and pushes them onto private land.
The Boggy-Glade Travel Management Plan now sits in a bureaucratic limbo and cannot be implemented. The agency can put out a revised edition, or conduct another environmental assessment and then submit a new decision based on that, all subject to appeal.
In the meantime, wildlife in the area can only react to the conditions, positive or negative, established by managers and users of public lands.
Another travel-management plan, for the Rico area, was likewise overturned on appeal in December 2009 and is awaiting revision. That one was also overturned on the basis of complaints about too much motorized access.

The present means it's a present to you- FREE! Merry Christmas from the Gambler and his family as well as the author.


As usual Affinity organised the Student Dee tour. It was held at Llangollen, North Wales over the weekend of the 15/16/17 November.
On both the Saturday and the Sunday we went off and paddled the Dee. We amazingly made it to the river in the morning (Yes that's right even Kev got up before lunchtime!). The river had little water in it, In fact the river was over a foot lower than when we paddled it the year before. However a few great swims were still taken.
The one swim that springs to mind was the Duo which was being paddled by Jo and Mark. After much persuasion Jo decided that she wanted to paddled town falls. They made the first two drops then on the third disaster struck and the duo was upside down. Everybody watched as Jo swam out and grabbed hold of the boat making sure it stayed upside down. Mark however was still in the back desperately trying to roll the boat. Little did he know, Jo was hanging on the front for dear life preventing Mark from rolling. Finally out swam Mark!
Karen had a superb swim on Town falls on the Sunday. However there was no problem cause Jamie once more came to the rescue. As my memory recalls there was only one other swim the whole weekend, and that was by Nick on Serpents tail.
