P2P file transfer as part of one comprehensive package
P2P, or 'peer to peer,' is a term seen with increasing frequency in the online world. This abbreviation describes a process or transaction that happens directly between two 'peers,' generally computer systems. This method eliminates the need for one overall administrator and can carry with it a number of benefits.
In recent years a growing number of applications of this method have arisen, from P2P lending in online markets, to P2P transport services and vacation rentals, such as Uber and Airbnb. While the use of P2P continues to branch out, this method was originally developed for one specific application, peer to peer file transfer.
Peer to peer (P2P) file transfer is the process of sharing digital data from one device, directly to another. Virtually any type of digital media can be shared using this method, making it applicable to a number of different settings. In order to conduct a P2P transfer, both users need to install P2P software, or be using software with a P2P function. The speed of this transfer only depends on the Internet connection, making this one of the fastest available ways to transfer data.
The practice of P2P file transferring initially gained popularity in the late 90s and early 00s with the introduction of peer to peer file sharing websites. Since then, the P2P technology has continued to develop, particularly in the area of internal team communication networks. Brosix, for example, offers P2P unlimited file size transfer as part of its features package for its private internal communication networks (more on this below). Businesses and organizations have increasingly come to understand the benefits of having P2P file sharing within their internal communication structure.
There are several benefits to using P2P file transfer grouped in two main categories: speed and efficiency, and data security. In short, sharing files with a P2P transfer is an efficient way to send large files quickly, without exposing data to external threats.
Files transferred using a P2P connection are sent directly from the sending to the receiving device, and generally provide automatic confirmation to the sender upon arrival on the recipient's device. This makes P2P file transfer one of the fastest methods for sharing files, as it eliminates a number of steps present in other methods.
As a comparison, sharing files through email requires the sender to first open the email client, upload the file, send the file, and wait for the recipient to write a confirmation that they have received the file. Meanwhile, the recipient waits for the email to arrive in the inbox, after which they can download it on their computer and send a confirmation of receipt. All of this, of course, is contingent on both the sender and receiver not exceeding the file upload/download limit on their email client.
P2P file transfer also has several benefits related to data security. Data sent and received using this method stays exclusively on the peers' network, without storage on external networks. This makes P2P file transfer one of the best ways to protect data from external threats while in transit.
Cloud based file sharing services, for example, store data in an online 'cloud server,' making them accessible to everyone with access to the server. While this has certain benefits for data that needs to be accessed by multiple peers at once, it is also difficult to ensure that only the intended recipients have access to the data. In fact, due to security concerns, some companies forbid the use of external file storage transfer services such as cloud servers, which limits the possibilities for quick data transfer.
There are many options for P2P file transfer currently on the market, meaning that users have a wide choice. While each of the different software options have specific characteristics, Brosix's P2P file transfer feature is different in several key ways.
Many other leading P2P programs place limits on their service, but with the Brosix P2P file transfer feature there is no limit in terms of file size or number. The only limitations come from the amount of storage on a user's device, and the bandwidth of their internet connection. This makes the P2P file transfer feature a great option for teams dealing in large files such as video production companies, legal firms, advertising agencies, etc.
Brosix provides a series of comprehensive security measures for all data transferred on its networks. These measures include data compression and encryption using the AES 256-bit encryption algorithm, making all files transferred on Brosix networks completely secure. Apart from data encryption, Brosix can also scan each sent/received file by activating the antivirus program installed on the users' devices.
Perhaps the biggest benefit to the Brosix P2P file transfer feature is the fact that it's part of a comprehensive package of IM collaboration features. This allows users to use the feature alongside all other communication and network administration features for a holistic team communication experience.
P2P file transfer allows two users to quickly and securely send and receive data, which can lead to gains in efficiency and productivity. With this feature, teams can create a secure collaborative environment where data can easily be shared without fear of external cybersecurity threats. Brosix's P2P file transfer features has the added benefits of being unlimited in size and integrated into a comprehensive secure team communication package, making it a crucial part of a team's internal communication solution.

Helena Pielichaty's Top 10 UKYA books
My all time number one is The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend but someone's nicked my copy so I couldn't refer to it. Love it to bits. My Top 10 is based on books that have 'stayed' with me long after I've read them.
In alphabetical order of title:
I Am Apache by Tanya Landman (2007)
'He was in his fourth summer when the Mexicans rode against us. Tazhi, my brother: the child who delighted the hearts of all who looked upon him. The wind flowed in his veins and the sun itself seemed to shine through his eyes when he smiled.
Only Tahzi stood and faced them.
And for that, he was cut down. In a flash of reddening steel, Tazhi was sent to the afterlife, condemned to walk for ever headless, and alone.'
So begins Tanya Landman's beautiful and moving story of 14-year old Apache Indian girl Siki, already orphaned and now witnessing the brutal death of her little brother. Published in 2007, Landman whisks us back to the Mexican border in the mid nineteenth century and drops us there. Rarely do we hear the woman's side of the Native American's story. Even rarer still are we taken on such a gripping adventure. Read it. Read it now!
The Commitments by Roddy Doyle (1993)
This is not strictly a young adult novel but who else would relate to the characters better than young adults? Who else knows what it feels like to have all this energy trapped inside you and no outlet for it, except through music? Not just any old music, but sweet, soul music. Dublin lad Jimmy Rabbitte, that's who. So when his mates ask him to manage a band it's obvious he's the right man for the job, right?
This was Doyle's first novel, published in 1988. It might seem a bit dated now but it's still a laugh a minute. Half play, half narrative, its style seemed refreshing and brave. Above all, it was hilarious. Give it a go.
The Death Defying Pepper Roux by Geraldine McCaughrean (2009)
I adore Geraldine McCaughrean; she is such a good writer. Every book she writes is different from the last. Pepper Roux is probably my favourite. Like Apache it has one of those arresting openings: On the morning of his 14th birthday, Pepper had been awake for fully two minutes before realizing it was the day he must die.' His death on this day, he has always been led to believe, was inevitable, following his Aunt Mireille's prediction. 'Saint Constance, she told the family, 'has decreed it.' What follows is a rip-roaring adventure of high seas, crazy characters and high-jinx as Pepper tries to avoid his fate.
Flour Babies by Anne Fine (1991)
Again, another old one but a groundbreaker. Anne Fine went through a period in the 1980s and 1990s of writing books that caught the zeitgeist. The Granny Project, Bill's New Frock and this one, Flour Babies. Then, as now, society's dread of teens having sex – and worse – having all those babies as a result of all that sex – resulted in shedloads of 'prevention' projects. One was Flour Babies. Flour Babies were simply bags of flour that Y10s had to take home and look after as if they were real babies. They had to 'feed' them during the night, organise babysitters, take them out to parties etc. In her story, Anne Fine doles out these Flour Babies to her characters – the hapless Y10s in Mr Cartwright's science class. The results are both moving and funny.
The Hard Man of the Swings by Jeanne Willis (2000)
Willis is better known for her picture books so the Hard Man of the Swings was a huge departure for her. However, there was no dipping the toe in the water of YA fiction here –Willis plunged us, head first, into the icy depths of sexual abuse. Based on a true story her builder told her, I found Mick's journey almost unbearable at times. I even wrote an Amazon review questioning whether the book was suitable for young adults as the neglect and abuse Mick endures was so appalling. But while it makes for uncomfortable reading, Hard Man of the Swings is an important book, well written, on a subject we ignore at our peril. That's why, as well as questioning its suitability, I also gave it a five star rating on Amazon.
Keeper by Mal Peet (2003)
This is the first of two I've selected by Mal Peet, whom I believe is one of the top YA writers in the UK today. Keeper was a book I couldn't get into at first; I had to give it a second chance. Once I did, and really engaged with Paul Faustino, the central character, I was hooked. Don't let the topic of football put you off if you don't like football; Keeper is more of a ghost story really, with a magical-reality setting. We're taken from TV studios to South American rainforests. The writing is masterful.
Killing Honour by Bali Rai (2011)
Good young adult fiction should be unafraid to tackle difficult subjects. They should tell readers the things parents can't or won't; they should tackle issues in a subtle way and they should break taboos. No one's better at this than Bali Rai. Killing Honour is a gripping crime story, first and foremost. We have sleazy nightclubs, dodgy dealings and drugs. We also have Jas, Sat's married sister, who has disappeared. The explanation from her husband, Amar, is that she's run off with some guy. Adultery is frowned upon in Sat's Sikh family. No one thinks to look for her; she's dead to them now. Sat's uncomfortable, though. The explanation just doesn't ring true; Jas wasn't like that. She'd never run off with another man – even though he knew she'd been unhappy with Amar – she'd never do that. So Sat sets out to find his sister and walks straight into danger. What follows is heart-in-the-mouth storytelling. Warning: box of tissues a must (king-size).
Rowan the Strange by Julie Hearn (2009)
Another dark one, I'm afraid. Rowan has always been strange. Good as gold one minute, behaving oddly – dangerously – the next. His family are at their wits' end and when Rowan hurts his sister they know it's time to seek help. He is diagnosed with schizophrenia and sent to a mental hospital where he is put on a ward with other children. Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, Hearn deftly weaves a powerful story of family ties, unlikely friendships and heart-rending incident. One for historical fiction lovers.
Tamar by Mal Peet (2005)
'When her grandfather dies, Tamar inherits a box containing a series of clues and coded messages,' reads the blurb.
Historical fiction again. World War 2 again. This is a multiple narrative with the story flicking between past (Nazi occupied Holland) and present (England). It's gripping stuff. Like in Keeper, Peet doesn't talk down to his YA readers; he expects them to be mature enough to cope with the things his characters have to endure. At its heart Tamar is a love story but it's a bittersweet one with a twist that will make you gasp. Beautifully written.
Tall Story by Candy Gourlay (2010)
Puberty sucks; everyone knows that. But what poor Bernardo wouldn't give to have problems like spots or bad breath – at least you can get stuff to hide things like that. There's no way you can hide the fact that you're EIGHT FOOT TALL. Fortunately for Bernardo he lives in San Andres, a small village in the mountains of the Philippines where being tall is seen as a lucky omen and revered. Unfortunately Bernardo's mother lives in London and wants her son to live with her, her new husband William, and his half sister Andi. So Bernardo, with great trepidation, his steps down from the plane at Heathrow and into a strange, new world. I loved this book. Told alternately between Bernardo and Andi, it's a story that covers so much and leaves the reader with a warm glow. Highly recommended (and not too dark!)

Steve Jobs – The Man Who Moulded Apple Inc.
Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs was one of the founders of the world famous company "Apple Inc". Right from his childhood, Steve was inclined towards gadgets and electronics. When he was in high school, he was offered an internship at Hewlett-Packard. There he met Steve Wozniak, an engineer by profession. After finishing graduation, Jobs took admission in Reed college but left after completing one semester. He was attracted to Eastern Culture and so he earned a part time job and he started designing video games in order to have enough money for a journey to India to know more about Eastern Tradition.
When he returned to America, he met Wozniak, who was attempting to make a mini computer. Jobs knew that this device has scope of being successful in the market. So he persuaded Wozniak to enter into the business with him. So, in the year 1975, Jobs and his friend started their shop in Steve's father's garage. They needed around USD 1400 for starting "Apple". So, Steve had to sell his microbus and Wozniak had to sell his HP calculator.
The success of Apple 1 generated enough money with which Jobs and Wozniak could enhance the old design. Apple 2 was launched in the year 1977 which was the first computer with colored graphics and a keyboard. It was a huge success and thus began the age of personal computers. The sales was more than USD Three million in the first year and after two years the sales increased to USD Two hundred million. But soon Apple's name began to diminish due to tough competition and weak response to Apple 3. As a result of this, the company lost half of its shares in the market. These adverse situations forced Jobs to launch Macintosh in the year 1984. It was very easy to use but it was very costly. Macintosh failed as it had limited features. Out of frustration, Steve fought with Apple's board of directors and was removed by CEO John. So, he resigned in the year 1985.
Later he started NeXT Computer Co. in the year 1988, but it failed to attract customers since it was very costly. Finally, he decided to focus in the field of software. Also, he started focussing on Pixar Animation Studios. He signed a three picture agreement with Disney and later on he made the maiden computer animated movie named "Toy Story" which was a blockbuster when it was released in the year 1995. In the year 1996, he took Pixar public and in the first day itself of trading, his 80 percent stake of the company was estimated to be USD one billion. So nearly after ten years of sweating, Mr. Jobs finally succeeded.
Afterwards, the Apple company acquired NeXT for around USD Four hundred million and Jobs was re-elected to Apple's board of directors as an advisor. Later on, he was selected as a CEO for the time being. After that, the next good thing that he did was that he made Apple's survival certain by entering into an agreement with Microsoft. So, Microsoft invested around USD one hundred and fifty million.
Later on, Jobs installed microprocessors named G3 PowerPC in Apple PC(s) in order to take on its opponent "Pentium". Then, he also created "iMac", which was launched in the year 1998. Under Jobs able leadership, Apple slowly started growing and in the year 1998, its sales touched USD Six billion mark. Afterwards, the company launched many more products like iPod which is a portable audio player, iTunes Store which is an online marketplace, iPhone which is extremely popular among the youth and iPad tablets.
Although he was very successful in his career but he had health problems. Jobs was diagnosed with a tumour of pancreas and later on, he went through a liver transplant. He resigned on August 2011. The 5th of October, 2011 was a sad day for the Apple lovers as he died of respiratory arrest linked to his tumour.
We should learn from the life Of Steve Jobs that we should always have a positive approach in life and should believe that we will be successful one day.

Rose Bretecher was able to take on her "Pure-O," finding a new perspective on both the reality & importance of doubt in our uncertain world. "Pure-O" as a name lingers on although it doesn't accurately capture the experience - rituals & compulsions are indeed still present in Pure-O OCD, they're just unobservable mental events instead of observable behaviors.
"OCD has taught me the value of doubt in a compulsive world.
and that I cannot engineer certainty in the things I love by trying to control them.
It's taught me that doubt is my rocket fuel."


Unfortunately, the ongoing wildfires in California continued to burn over the weekend, meaning they were the lead story on "Today," "Good Morning America" and "CBS This Morning" after Friday's editions that saw one network morning show lead with fires over the Thousand Oaks shooting.
'Today' lead with the story and used its studio's large video wall to showcase its red and white breaking news background that 'opened' to reveal a map of the region flanked by dramatic orange shots of the fire. The segment also included a panoramic view of the region before the handheld camera pulled out wider to reveal three vertical panels with live shots shown on them.
Later in the A block, the show tossed to Al Roker standing next to a bold "California Fires" logotype with orange background that, in turn, featured three panes of weather maps, video and text.

Posted inarticles, Roe v. Wade
Hear about the legal breakthrough in abortion law?
by Sheila Liaugminas Jul 19, 2009 May 11, 2022 / 2 mins /
Overhwhelming odds are that you didn't, even if you live in the
state of Illinois, where the landmark decision came down last week.
The story, a small piece, was buried on page 11 of the Chicago Tribune the next day.
A federal appeals court in Chicago on Tuesday breathed
new life into a long-dormant Illinois law that requires physicians to
notify the parents of teenage girls before performing abortions.
Attorneys on both sides of the issue said the law — which was passed
in 1984 and updated in 1995 — would take effect within weeks unless its
critics ask for a stay and the three-judge panel of the 7th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals agrees to put its order on hold pending a
rehearing.
Anti-abortion activists applauded the appeals court's decision as a
long-overdue victory, while opponents of the law said the measure was
guaranteed to usher in dangerous problems.
"It's about time the law was approved," said Thomas Brejcha,
president of the Thomas More Society, which fought to have the measure
enforced. "It's ridiculous that it took this long to get a decision."
For the first time since Roe v. Wade, Illinois parents will be
entitled to notification before their minor daughters are taken for
abortions. This is no small victory.
"This is an incredible victory for Illinois parents and
their children," said Peter Breen, Executive Director and Legal Counsel
of the Thomas More Society. "Parental involvement laws enjoy
overwhelming public support. These laws promote the integrity of the
family and ensure that parents are consulted so that their children are
not forced into an abortion decision. A wealth of social science data
indicates that parental involvement laws lead to lower pregnancy rates,
out-of-wedlock births and abortions."
The Obama administration repeatedly insists their goal is to reduce
the need for abortions. President Obama also urges families to be more
involved with their children, and men to realize 'fatherhood doesn't
end at conception.'
No logical, reasonable and most of all, truthful argument can be made against parental notice (and the main one opponents try is already covered in this ruling). This is yet another opportunity to see who's really for choice on this issue…..and who's fighting to keep information from those making one.

American Horror Story (2011)
The first season centers on the Harmon family: psychiatrist Ben , his estranged wife Vivien , and daughter Violet . They move from Boston to Los Angeles after Vivien had a stillbirth and Ben had an affair with one of his students. On arrival, they learn that the previous owners of their new mansion - a gay couple - apparently died in a murder/suicide. Their neighbor Constance and her daughter Addie become frequent, if sometimes unwelcome, guests. Addie, who has Down syndrome, seems to have a supernatural connection with the house's mysterious past. Upon exploring the attic, Vivien discovers a gimp suit. The house also 'comes with' Moira O'Hara , a housekeeper who to men appears as young and seductive, but to women old and matronly.
Ben begins seeing patients out of his home office. One in particular, the possibly psychotic Tate Langdon , takes a keen interest in kindred spirit Violet. Ben is unaware that Tate is both a ghost and the son of Constance. As the family settles into the home, bizarre and often violent events begin to occur with increasing regularity. It is soon revealed that there have been upwards of 20 violent deaths in the home over the course of its history - so much so that it is known on sightseeing tours as "The Murder House". The family struggles with their own personal tribulations, oblivious to the reality of their home even as more people die and take up residence as ghosts. Unknowingly, Vivien has sex with Tate whom she mistakes for Ben in the rubber suit, shortly after making love with Ben, resulting in the rare occurrence of becoming pregnant with twins by different fathers. Several ghosts in the house, including that of Ben's former mistress Hayden, conspire to drive Vivien mad so that they can raise the babies as their own.
Violet commits suicide, something she doesn't realize was successful until weeks later when she realizes she cannot leave the house. Vivien gives birth to the twins in the house. The first dies moments after birth, but the second lives. Vivien dies during labor. Constance realizes that the surviving baby's father is Tate, and urges Ben to flee the house. In so doing, Ben is confronted by Hayden who murders him by forcibly hanging him. Upon finding Ben's body, Constance abducts his baby. Ultimately it is believed by the police that Ben hanged himself in grief, and Violet ran away with the baby.
Now trapped in the house, Ben and Vivien vow to work with some of the other ghosts to scare away any new tenants and spare their lives, and successfully do so with the next family that moves in. The series then jumps ahead three years to reveal that Constance has continued to raise the Harmons' son in secrecy. She discovers, however, that he has violently murdered his nanny.
American Horror Story was renewed for a second season on October 31, 2011. On December 22, 2011, Murphy announced his plans to change the cast and location for the second season.

Learn how server-side implementations of SSD differ from storage-side, and how to get the ultimate performance boost in virtual environments.
CPU-bound applications benefit from bigger processors and input/output-bound applications need a faster aggregate storage. Flash storage -- which may be delivered as either PCI express devices or solid-state drives -- delivers huge IOPS gains and has revolutionized the best-practice guidelines for implementing storage systems. Latency has become a third element of application performance tuning, but IOPS is still where the biggest gains are to be made.
Virtual machines (VMs) have increased the pressure on input/output (I/O) throughput requirements at the physical level. The deployment of 10, 20 or even more VMs on a single physical server can solve the problem of underutilized computers. However, putting that number of applications on one device may increase IOPS requirements proportionally without any additional throughput capabilities. The result can be severely I/O-bound applications. This may lead IT groups to reduce the number of VMs per physical machine, but this solution only addresses the symptoms and not the problem.
When solving the IOPS problem, IT managers have the choice of either server-side flash (basically, cache) or storage-side solid-state drives (SSDs). Either choice can deliver thousands or tens of thousands of IOPS (depending upon quantity) but they are not interchangeable; this is where the issue of latency comes in. Server-side flash has no more latency than other system cache, assuming the data is flash-resident -- meaning the data accessing the flash has to reside on the server as the flash does. If the system has to issue a read command to the hard disk drive (HDD), then there is no benefit to flash.
Otherwise, the I/O request is sent across the network to the storage system. SSD in the storage array can deliver the data at cache speeds, again if it is resident. Generally, individual applications on VMs will benefit from server flash whereas widely distributed applications such as VDI or clustered file systems will benefit from storage SSD.
Given the dynamic nature of VMs, it may not be possible to make an either/or decision regarding which type of flash to deploy. Increasingly, IT managers will find it necessary to deploy both -- server flash and storage SSD -- when premium performance is necessary. As noted earlier, however, the benefits only manifest when the data is flash-resident.
Automated storage tiering (AST) products are widely available from major storage vendors and emerging vendors alike. AST software constantly monitors data access patterns to identify "hot data." As data elements are determined to be hot, the system automatically elevates it to a higher (faster) tier of storage devices. As data cools, it will be replaced by hotter data. This assures applications get the best possible storage service.
As IT organizations deploy dual flash architectures (both server and storage flash), they will learn that storage-only AST is insufficient. If storage AST software is unaware of the server flash, it may misidentify hot data because it is unable to accurately track I/O operations. It might also result in dueling algorithms between the flash systems, leading to inefficient or conflicting data movement.
Deploy both server and storage flash for I/O-bound applications or dense VM environments.
Put as much flash in the server as practical, more or less limited by budget.
About 3% to 5% of an array's total capacity should be in SSD, at least until experience dictates otherwise.
Use AST software capable of managing I/O from processor to back-end HDD.
Not all vendors support a mix-and-match of different flash types and software, so be sure all the components are qualified together.


Thanks to Guillermo del Toro we've developed a strong liking for Doug Jones' work and now the actor is sharing a bit about the part he has in the director's upcoming film 'The Shape of Water.' We've known for awhile that the time period puts this film sometime in the 60s during the Cold War. Beyond that, only that it has a "magical journey" involved which makes it almost sound like a spiritual successor to del Toro's cult classic 'Pan's Labyrinth.' However, now it seems to be a bit of a love story with a twist.
Much like Abe Sapien in 'Hellboy' we're going to see Doug Jones playing a "fish man" of sorts while we also see Sally Hawkins playing a cleaning lady who will be relevant to the story. It seems she cleans in a government facility where Jones is being held for study and experimentation.
"My character is…even if I'm not in every scene, they're talking about me when I'm not there. I am the focal point of the whole movie. They're all having interactions because of me. It is one of the most gorgeous stories I have ever been a part of. And it was filmed beautifully. The art direction for the era – the cars, the clothes, the hair, the sets – it's very Del Toro and very gorgeous.
Are you excited to see 'The Shape of Water?' Share your thoughts on what we've learned about the series below!
'The Shape of Water' is due in theaters in the second half of 2018.

What is Decentraland (MANA): the virtual world on blockchain
By Stefano Cavalli - 16 Jun 2019
Decentraland (MANA) provides a virtual reality platform based on the Ethereum blockchain.
Users are able to create content and applications and generate profits. It is the first true decentralised virtual platform to set itself apart from the crowd, built on the blockchain and owned by its users.
Who is behind the development of the platform?
The Decentraland team has already gained experience in the cryptocurrency field, including the creation of Bitcore (BTX). The project leader is Ari Meilich, while the technical manager is Esteban Ordano.
The Advisory Board is made up of:
Xiaolai Li, the founder of INBlockchain;
Jake Brukhman, the creator of CoinFund;
Luis Cuende, the head of the Aragon project;
Diego Doval, Ning's former CTO.
Decentraland also collaborates with two other cryptocurrencies: district0x and Aragon.
There are literally no limits with Decentraland
Thanks to the use of this platform it is possible to create and explore everything. Users can purchase land using the Ethereum blockchain, which indisputably demonstrates the ownership of the land.
Users are free to build whatever they want. Some of the options suggested by the Decentraland team include live music shows, casinos, shopping, business activities, visits to underwater resorts and driving tests for cars.
All this takes place in a virtual world with a 360-degree view that engages users through the web browser or through the use of a VR headset.
What makes Decentraland different from other VR platforms?
The biggest difference between Decentraland (MANA) and existing VR platforms is ownership. The team behind the project believes that public virtual worlds should be managed and governed with open standards. So no central organisation has to impose its will.
In addition to being owned by users, Decentraland allows them to fully control the pieces of land they own. Furthermore, the owners themselves are able to make profit from the value generated by other users.
Completely different from the systems in which the central organisation, which manages the platform, takes a percentage on each transaction. Without a central point, there is no group able to decide commissions or fees to be paid.
All this is possible, as already mentioned, through the use of blockchain technology by Decentraland (MANA), which uniquely demonstrates the ownership of a piece of land.
How to buy land?
Buying land is as simple as using MANA, the Decentraland token. The ground tiles measure 10 square meters. There are no limits on vertical construction, the only constraints relate to the base of the buildings.
It is important to note that the land of Decentraland is scarce. Specifically and purposefully designed not only to increase demand but also to improve the overall user experience and the ability to discover its content.
If the land were huge, it would never be explored and would also cost very little. Registration for the Terraform Event ended on December 15th, 2017.
What is the MANA token for?
MANA is used to purchase land, directly from Decentraland or other users (land is transferable), as well as to make purchases of digital goods and services in the virtual world. MANA's utility will grow as the lands of Decentraland are developed on the Ethereum blockchain.
The MANA token can be bought on the main exchanges, a complete list is available on CoinMarketCap, and it can be stored in an Ethereum wallet.
What are the plans for the future?
The Decentraland project began in June 2015 in what they call the Stone Age, when the earth was modelled in the form of a simple grid and pixels were assigned to users through a Proof of Work algorithm. In March 2017, the project entered the Bronze Age, and the 3D view was added.
Those who bought MANA, the ERC20 token, were able to obtain pieces of land and then interact with other owners of the same cryptocurrency. The Iron Age adds multiplayer support, along with a live chat and avatars.
The last phase, the Silicon Age, opens the world to full VR support.
In March 2018 the team launched the Decentraland Marketplace. A real decentralised market in which to buy and sell land belonging to other users:
We're delighted to announce the Decentraland Marketplace: a decentralized exchange for buying, selling, and managing LAND! 🚀🚀

Intermediate+ Word of the Day: slope
slope (verb, noun) /sloʊp/ LISTEN
To slope means 'to have an inclined or oblique direction or angle' and also 'to move at such inclination.' To form something with such an inclination is also to slope. As a noun, a slope is ground that has a natural inclination, like the sides of a hill. It is also the inclination itself or any other inclined surface.
The ground sloped gently away towards the valley.
It was late afternoon and already the sun was beginning to slope to the west.
The sides of the excavation had been sloped.
The hikers made their way up the slope.
The river flows fast at this point, due to the slope of its bed.
The slope of the writing desk makes it more comfortable to write on.
Words often used with slope
slope off (UK): make your way slowly or furtively. Example: "Where did you slope off to yesterday? I saw you leaving the meeting early."
slippery slope: a course of action that is likely to lead to a bad situation. Example: "For many people, taking soft drugs is just the start of the slippery slope into addiction."
Listen to Taylor Swift singing "Treacherous" here:
Listen out for the lyric "This slope is treacherous."
Slopes in the plural is often used as a shortened form of ski slopes. It may also be used to mean 'foothills.'
In mathematics, slope is the direction and steepness of a line on a graph. You can read more about the mathematical meaning of slope here.
sloping (adjective) slopingly (adverb)
Slope has been used as a verb meaning 'to go in an oblique direction' since the late 16th century. It evolved from the earlier adverbial (and possibly adjectival) use of slope, around the year 1500, meaning 'slantingly' (or 'slanting,' as an adjective) which was, in turn, a shortened form of the Middle English adjective and adverb aslope, with the same meaning, which some think happened because of its similarity to the existing verb lope (to leap, jump, or run with long strides). It can be traced back to the Old English adjective and adverb aslopen, which originated as the past participle of aslupan (to slip away). It can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root sleubh– (to slide or slip), from the root (s)lei- (slimy, slippery or sticky). It is related to many other words in English, including slip, slipper, slime and sleeve, as well as Germanic words of similar meanings, such as the Middle Low German slippen, the Old High German slifan, the Middle Dutch slippen and the German schleifen (all meaning 'to glide or slide'). The meaning 'to place in a slanting position' is from around the year 1600, but the intransitive sense, 'to be in a slanting position,' appeared in the early 18th century. The noun, meaning 'inclination,' comes from the verb, and dates back to the early 17th century. The meaning 'an incline or slant,' usually of the ground, appeared soon after.

Chef sets summer course at PJ's-SentryWorld
Nathan Vine
STEVENS POINT - Roger Payne sits down on a comfortable chair on a warm summer day on the deck outside PJ's-SentryWorld restaurant, nestled between a group of people enjoying an outdoor lunch and those teeing off or heading in after a round at the renovated SentryWorld Golf Course.
It's a situation that Payne, who joined the restaurant in May 2015 as executive chef, calls a dream opportunity.
Payne, 43, has made a career of cooking throughout the United States and in his native New Mexico. He first considered coming to PJ's-SentryWorld back when it opened in 2014, as he and his wife Elsah were looking to move their family to her own home state. When that didn't happen, he contracted to open another restaurant, Farm Table located in Amery, where he served as executive chef for about a year until the opportunity to join PJ's-SentryWorld resurfaced.
"This is a world-class facility, a world-class golf course, so I consider our restaurant to be a world-class facility as well," Payne said. "To be a part of it in this little community is really special to me."

RELATED: SentryWorld announces 2016 golf rates
Payne said he enjoys being part of the local culinary scene and taking advantage of what's available seasonally. For the restaurant, that means leaning toward heartier fare in winter while in the summer going lighter by using local produce, which Payne said is made possible by working with Central Rivers Farmshed and the Stevens Point Farmers Market. That focus is reflected in the restaurant's summer menu, which rolled out in late May.
Among the appetizers, you'll find creamy mozzarella — a fresh mozzarella shell with creamy mozzarella inside, heirloom tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil served with grilled bread — as well as hummus and yogurt cheese with veggie sticks and flatbread.
A stir fry offers a mix of seasonal vegetables with white rice and housemade sauce with the possibility to add chicken, salmon, steak or tofu. There's a grilled tuna summer salad — with yellowfin tuna, wild greens, locally grown green beans, seared red potatoes, tomatoes, anchovies, hard-boiled egg, olives and house-herbed vinaigrette — a buttermilk chicken sandwich with Nueske's bacon and grilled salmon tacos with guacamole. The restaurant has also pared with Ski's Meat Market to create a brat that is topped with different items weekly.
Added to the weekly schedule of blue plate specials is the chef's choice on Saturday, which features ingredients from the farmers market. Payne said the restaurant also offers a catch of the week with items like marlin or fresh oysters.
Dessert also offers a summer feel with selections like the blue-raspberry lemon custard cake, with layers of blueberries, raspberries, ladyfingers and lemon cream, and the s'more pie with a graham cracker crust, dark chocolate filling, and homemade caramelized marshmallows.
"What we want people to know is that we're an almost 100 percent from scratch kitchen that is really focused on the idea of farm to table," Payne said.

Forum Post: The Creation of #RebuildOWS. Commit thought-crime. Donate a book!
"RebuildOWS" exists to address the neccessity for a permanent indoor space for the People's Library. A mobile library is not the most practical way forward. We need a constant presence, a gathering place that cannot easily be disturbed by police or other factors. We need a base to develop and spread our ideas. We know the current library system is ineffective as it stands now because it should be clear to us that Freedom of Assembly and Freedom of Speech is only left unharassed when it is toothless and poses no serious threats. For we have seen and felt what the "right to petition government for redress of grievances" meant in Zucotti Park, UC Davis, Seattle, LA and Oakland.
The People's Library is without precedent and cannot be allowed to flounder and die, suffocated under "Bloomberg's Boot" as it were. These books and donations, each one representing a personal sacrifice by a member of the 99% cannot be allowed to be lost. It has now become incumbent on us to help Occupy Wall Street prevail against the intimidation of this tyranny. We must rebuild the library.
I am therefore anxious to propose the beginning of collecting donations for the purpose of renting a space. Please contact us if you would like to join our project.
I would be grateful if you could tweet/blog or find some other way to pass this plea along to the People who hitherto have been responsible for the support of our library.
Develop. Organize. Support. Victory to the 99%! Rebuild the People's Library!
we have seen and felt what the "right to petition government for redress of grievances" meant in Zucotti Park, UC Davis, Seattle, LA and Oakland.
A petition as far as I can tell is a written document. To have the desired result, it would have to be produced in such a way as to clearly be a reflection of the sentiments of a clear majority of the people. Only a List Of Grievances produced at the national level by elected representatives from every congressional district (for example) would carry enough weight to be seriously considered.
I find this conflation of one 1st amendment right with another shocking, especially when readers feel that because it is being said by a "librarian" it must be a reasonable statement.

To formal events and larger events, or events where the birthday invitations has to look perfectly, most people contract with a birthday invitation company to supply standard invitations. For conventional cards, the choice of ink colour, the paper, the designs, the font styles, etc ., will probably be limited to the range of a particular company, but your choice of business is very broad and the variants between companies are almost unrestricted. Shop around, search the internet. You may often download a corporate entity's whole catalogue on line and next order on line at your spare time. You should also be aware that companies outside your country may be able to source birthday invitations more inexpensively and easily (e. g India) nevertheless the lead time in supply of the invitations may be longer, and you may have to pay particular attention to transliteration and the details of dates and times. Always ask to get a sample for approval before you place the order.

OBJECTIVE - To report outcomes of patients with localised prostate cancer (PCa) managed with active surveillance (AS) in a standard clinical setting.
DESIGN - Single-centre, prospective, observational study.
SETTING - Non-academic, average-size hospital in Switzerland.
PARTICIPANTS - Prospective, observational study at a non-academic, average-size hospital in Switzerland. Inclusion and progression criteria meet general recommendations. 157 patients at a median age of 67 (61-70) years were included from December 1999 to March 2012. Follow-up (FU) ended June 2013.
RESULTS - Median FU was 48 (30-84) months. Overall confirmed reclassification rate was 20% (32/157). 20 men underwent radical prostatectomy with 1 recurrence, 11 had radiation therapy with 2 prostate-specific antigen relapses, and 1 required primary hormone ablation with a fatal outcome. Kaplan-Meier estimates for those remaining in the study showed an overall survival of 92%, cancer-specific survival of 99% and reclassification rate of 41%. Dropout rate was 36% and occurred at a median of 48 (21-81) months after inclusion. 68 (43%) men are still under AS.
CONCLUSIONS - Careful administration of AS can and will yield excellent results in long-term management of PCa, and also helps physicians and patients alike to balance quality of life and mortality. Our data revealed significant dropout from FU. Patient non-compliance can be a relevant problem in AS.

Where are the smell buttons here? Oh right, there aren't any, that's why I haven't been posting. I've been back in the world of words lately because my brother was stupid and ate stuff he shouldn't, so he spent a couple days at the vet and a couple more here just sleeping, so I've been looking out for Juli, so I thought I'd check in.
I mostly spend my time napping in my favorite places in the house, getting my family to rub my belly, and wandering around the yard sniffing things. Sometimes I sniff things in the house or on adventures with my family. I have some sort of growth in my pituitary and I'm taking herbs for it, and I feel great. I went to the vet for accupuncture a few weeks ago and he was struck by what a happy dog I am. He's right. I'm about the happiest dog you'll see – especially if you are rubbing my belly!
Ok, enough words. Leave me pee mail!
My people DO still love me!
I've been really grumpy since a few weeks before Hero came to live with us, because I wasn't hearing all the positive stuff I usually hear from my family. I thought maybe they didn't love me anymore or something. Julie was suspicious that maybe I couldn't hear, so on Saturday she took me to the vet, and it turns out that my ears aren't working very well anymore. So Julie's been using hand signals with me 100% of the time since Saturday and it turns out, she really does think I'm a good girl! I'm so much happier!
Our new favorite website is the ASL Browser, because Julie likes to talk to me.
Posted in veterinary | Comments Off on My people DO still love me!
I'd like to introduce my assistant, Hero. I wasn't particularly enthused about him when Julie and I first picked him up, but Julie's been telling me I need to prepare for retirement and she was actually right. Anyway, Hero came to live with us in mid-December and was pretty quick to learn to leave me alone when I tell him to (most of the time) and he picked up medic alerting from me in less than a month. I don't even have to supervise him to make sure he's doing it right anymore. I still reserve the right to try to kill him when he oversteps his bounds, and he's still too much of an obnoxious playful puppy for my taste, but he does his job and I'm willing to occasionally leave him a scrap of food to show my approval.
I'm pretty much fully retired now because Juli says working was making me too grumpy. It's true that I'm older than I admit and age is catching up with me. But I don't see what's wrong with being grumpy! On the other hand, even with acupuncture, chiropractic, glucosamine, and Rimadyl, I tend to hurt. Juli has given me a new job as the chief relaxer. It's not a bad gig for an old cocker spaniel, I'm supposed to spend my time being a good example of relaxing for Juli. But I miss being with Juli all the time. Hero hasn't learned public access skills yet and so Juli is out dogless a lot, which kind of makes me nervous because, well, we all know she's not really capable of taking care of herself. She hasn't poisoned herself with her migraine reversal meds yet though, so I guess it's OK. Hero better quit being such a goofy adolescent dog and get to work on that public access stuff though!
I'm going to be in a book!
I just found out today that I'm going to be in a children's book about Dog Scouts – Dog Scouts of America (Dog Heroes) by Shelly Bueche and Chris Puls! There is a picture of Julie and I working on rally obedience at this years Texas Mini-Camp on page 23. Plus lots and lots of my dog and human friends are in the book – including Chris Puls the author and Bear who is pictured on the front cover. The book talks about all the cool stuff we do in Dog Scouts – I can't wait until it comes out!
I finally found out what acupuncture is – and I'm not sure if I like it or not. Jack was supposed to go for acupuncture (and me with him for moral support) back in January, but then he died instead. Today I went for acupuncture. It turns out that acupuncture involves a really through physical exam, including lots of painful joint stretches and finding all the sore spots on my back without fixing them like the chiropractor does. Then, they got out these little things called needles that look more like Julie's embroidery needles than pine needles – but then they pricked me with them like pine needles do. The one on my head felt a little weird but the other ones were unnoticable once they were in. Then I had to sit there for 15 minutes with the needles in me while the doctor and Julie talked about my arthritis and my treatment plan. Julie pet me though, so it wasn't bad. And when it was done, the doctor pressed my sore spots and they barely hurt! It's like magic! I'm tired though. I have to go back next week, but they will only do the needles, not the exam – that sounds better.
Oh, it turns out that vet clinic is Ben's old home! And we got to meet the person who brought him in, 'cause she works there. She was really excited to hear about him and told Julie all about his early days. She's known him since he was a born (he was one of several neglected rabbits at her neighbors) and still cares about him. That's really cool!
Today Julie took me to the Clark County Fair across the river in Washington. We went and watched some silly labs jumping into a swimming pool after their toys. It was a demonstration of something called Dock Dogs. Then Julie went and signed some papers and got a wristband (I think a wrist band may be like a human collar, but people don't seem to wear them as much.) Next thing I know we are walking down to the pool ourselves for something called a training seminar. I like training, so I'm thinking this is pretty good. There were a few other dogs down there and when dogs were barking excitedly, Julie let me bark with them! (I love barking!) So I was having a great time until we went up on the deck, I guess they call it a dock, and I found out I was supposed to jump into the pool. Now I love jumping, but I really don't like water (except to drink! I love drinking water!) Julie and the coaches finally tricked me into jumping in. No fair! I don't like swimming! I had a hard time getting out because I tried to get out on the side of the exit ramp (it was closer to where I was.) They tried to get me to jump again, but I ran the other way and down the stairs. Julie came to get me and made me walk to the end of the dock again, but then I got to leave! Afterwards, Julie dried me off really well and put my sweater on (I always want to wear my sweater when I'm wet.) Then we went and wandered around the fair. Parts of it were really boring, just like shopping, but there were some really cool scents and we walked around a lot. Plus, several people asked to pet me and Julie let them. I love meeting people! Best of all, the sponsors of the Dock Dogs event, Cricket Wireless were giving out water bowls with their name on them, so I have a new water bowl! I love water bowls, water is so yummy! Just don't make me swim!
Then, today, I had to go to the vet to have a fast growing wart looked at. First they decide that it will be okay if it's just left alone until I need my teeth cleaned or something. Next thing I know though, Julie is asking Dr Morgan if it's okay if she tries the newish human treatment of using Duct Tape to remove the wart. Dr Morgan hadn't heard about it, but after talking to Julie about it, has decided that I can be a guinea pig. (How can I be a dog and a guinea pig at the same time? I don't get humans.) BTW Don't try this at home folks, I think Julie got more warning signs to look for than when I had my TPLO.
So, if Duct Tape can fix my tunnel and possibly fix a wart without my having to have them burned off, maybe it really can do anything!
Now the cat is getting involved!
This is just going too far! Tonight, my cat brother Mike was eating my food! As you'll recall, the other night my pawther was eating out of my dish – at least he ate his own food. And my bunny brother, Ben, eats my food too – although he usually just eats the crumbs of toothy food I leave around. We had to take Mike to the vet today to get his stitches from his accident removed and he had gained weight from earlier in the week, even though he is on a diet. Julie was wondering why… then we caught him eating out of my bowl! No fair!
Posted in dogs | Comments Off on Now the cat is getting involved!
My pawrents are really weird about bowls lately.
First, last night my pawther was eating out of my bowl! He did let me lick it clean though – boy was he eating yummy food. If he's going to eat out of my bowl, he should eat whatever I leave (oh, wait, I usually lick my bowl clean, unlike him!) That was really weird though!
Then, this afternoon, Julie got out this HUGE plastic bowl. I mean HUGE – it's like 3ft across and filled it with water. I love to drink water, so I thought that was fabulous! Then a couple hours later, she goes and sits in it! Talk about weird! I don't understand why anyone would want to get wet anyway, but she said it felt really good.
When Julie started talking about hammocks, at first I thought she was talking about "Ham Hocks" – which, in case you didn't know is another word for pig trotters, so I was excited. Then she brought home a hammock stand and found a box in a spot I didn't even know existed in the garage with a hammock. And I found out that it's some sort of weird human furniture. Now all of a sudden, she's always laying out in the back yard on the hammock. I just don't get it. Why would anyone think that laying in something that sways around is relaxing? She's wasting all sorts of good time that she could be lazing somewhere comfortable in the hammock. My pawther thinks I don't like the hammock because my paws could fall through when I walk on it, but I have no problem walking on it. I just don't like the way it sways. Plus, the way it wraps around you just isn't very comfortable. When I do get in the hammock, Julie makes sure to make it a really great experience for me by giving me lots of pets and telling me how good I am. It's just not worth it. Especially since I've figured out that I can lie under Julie and still sniff what is going on with her – then I only need jump up on the edge of the hammock if I need to alert her. Also, when Julie is in the hammock, there is a nice shady grassy spot underneath. I like shady grassy spots! But I still don't understand why humans think hammocks are good things!
