Pakistan Activists Visit Gender Concerns
On the 21 April Gender Concerns International hosted, in cooperation with the Embassy of Pakistan to the Netherlands, a delegation of women´s rights activists from Pakistan. These delegates visited The Hague to attend the 100 Year Women´s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) Conference – Women Stop War.
A first exchange of ideas took place at the Gender Concerns International Headquarters with four members of the delegation: Ms Sameena Nazir – President of WILPF Pakistan section and human rights and peace advocate; Ms Fatima Atif – women´s rights activist in and peace defender in Baluchistan among other regions; Dr Nagina Sadaf – a women´s rights advocate, a political activist and alternative medicine doctor; Ms Tahira Jabeen – women and girls rights activist by choice and a communications and advocacy specialist by profession.
Gender Concerns staff and the Pakistan delegation discussed at length about the work of women rights activists in Pakistan, the challenges they face, the diligent work they perform and how to improve the effectiveness of their work and make a larger impact on a national level. Each expert discussed their work in Pakistan, what they hope to achieve and how they plan to get there.
Potential partnerships for future projects in Pakistan with the various organisations these women represent was discussed. The delegation expressed their enthusiasm and willingness to foster an ongoing relationship with Gender Concerns. The possibility of a consortium or platform to combine work of the delegate's organisations and possibly other organisations was explored in order to combine multiple areas of expertise. By working together, our organisations will be able to produce larger changes in Pakistan and ensure ongoing assistance and livelihood of smaller organisations.
After the delegations visit to Gender Concerns they proceeded to a dinner meeting with the Deputy Head of Mission and the First Secretary of the Embassy of Pakistan as well as Ms Rukhshanda Naz – Executive Director Legal Aid & Awareness Services in Pakistan; Ms Saima and Jasam Saleem – expert on democracy, human rights, religious extremism and gender in Pakistan; Ms Akeela Naz – president of Peasant Women Society in Khanewal and Ms Tahira Tarique – project coordinator at Potohar Organisation for Development Advocacy (PODA) in Pakistan.
During the dinner meeting, the delegates' work in Pakistan was further discussed and how increased support can be generated for women´s and civil society organisations in the country. The challenges and opportunities of gender and development initiatives in Pakistan were discussed at length as well as the various views of each delegate towards the role of women in Pakistan. Gender Concerns looks forward to continued engagement with these women together with the Embassy of Pakistan to the Netherlands.

Static NAT allows the user to configure one-to-one NAT, where an inside IP address will match a public IP address. The configuration options are shown below. You must also define the filter policies to allow traffic back in for the static NAT configuration.
Priority - the order the policy will be applied within all the defined policies. Lower priority policies are applied before higher priority polices.
Direction – the direction, from the perspective of the virtual interface or service, that the translation will operate.
Outbound – the destination address for a packet will be translated for packets received on the service. The source address will be translated for packets transmitted on the service.
For example, LAN service to Internet service – for packets outbound, (LAN to Internet) the source IP address is translated. For packets inbound or received (Internet to LAN) the destination IP address are translated.
Inbound - the source address for a packet will be translated for packets received on the service. The destination address will be translated for packets transmitted on the service.
For example, Internet service to LAN service – For packets received on the Internet service, the source IP address is translated. For packets transmitted on the Internet service, the destination IP address is translated.
Service Type – in reference to a SD-WAN service. For static NAT, these include Local (to the appliance), Intranet, and Internet.
Service Name – specific service name that corresponds to the defined Service Type above.
Inside Zone – one of the existing inside zones configured on the appliance.
Inside IP address – source IP address and mask of the direction selected above.
Outside IP address – the outside IP address and mask of packets that are translated to.
Connections can get originated in either inside -> outside (or) outside -> inside directions. When NAT rule is created, it gets applied for both directions. Depending on the NAT rule type (inbound/outbound), the parameters are considered for matching changes.
The directions in NAT type are with respective to SD-WAN appliance.
If NAT has to be applied when connection is entering to the appliance then, it is Inbound NAT. In this case, Firewall filters are applied on translated/outside IP addresses.
If NAT has to be applied when connection is leaving the appliance then, it is Outbound NAT. In this case, Firewall filters are applied on actual IP addresses.
After NAT policy is applied destination service name must be LAN, else packet will be dropped.


With eight days to go before the Iowa caucuses, the race for the Republican nomination is really getting interesting.
In Virginia, two GOP candidates – Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry – will not appear on the super Tuesday ballot. How will this affect the 2012 presidential race?
This morning on American Morning, CNN contributor Will Cain and Democratic strategist Kiki McLean look at how the race will change if two major candidates are not on Virginia's ballot.

Q: Cannot find the UnityPlayerActivity class inside com.unity3d.player I'm trying to create an Android plugin for my Unity game. I have watched a lot of tutorials (most of them are outdated based on eclipse) and have read the documentation also. I'm using Unity 2019.3.0f6. I want to extend my main activity in Android Studio project with UnityPlayerActivity

I don't understand what does the ending lines mean "Locate the file, and add classes.jar to the classpath Unity uses to compile the new Activity. Compile your Activity source file and package it into a JAR or AAR package, then copy it into your Project folder"
I understand UnityPlayerActivity does not exist in the classes.jar at PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Variations/mono or il2cpp/Development or Release/Classes/ and so I can't import com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity; I can only import UnityPlayer and IUnityPlayerLifecycleEvents. I am also interested to understand what is the UnityPlayer class and IUnityPlayerLifecycleEvents in this context.

But the UnityPlayerActivity.java is available at C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\src\com\unity3d\player
How do I add it in the Unity3d library or classes.jar. Or even import it to extend my mainactivity. I don't understand what am I doing wrong here.
I am using Android Studio, although I am new to it.

A: Don't worry, make android plugins for unity could be a little bit messy at the start, even more if you don't have any experience with Android!
Some tips:

*

*Project directory structure should be: Assets/Plugins/Android (it's
important, I've been struggling for this stupidity here)

*Insert classes.jar in AndroidStudio project in app/libs.

*Insert external dependencies (if you are using it) like
"support-v4-24.1.1" into Android/libs
To create plugins on AndroidStudio you need to create a library (this steps is to create it from an activity):

*

*On graddle remove ID line

*On the same file, change .implementation to .library
To recompile the plugin do the follow:

*

*Rebuild AndroidStudio solution

*Go to AndroidStudio solution...app\build\outputs\aar get the .aar
file

*Copy and paste it, change the extension from .aar to .zip or .rar

*Open the modified file and extract 2 items:

*

*classes.jar (this is another classes.jar, not the same stored in app/libs in your AndroidStudio project)

*AndroidManifest.xml

*Copy those files into Unity project in Assets/Plugins/Android
(remember, project directory structure is important!)
You can download the classes.jar file (the first one) from my Utility_Repo or from the path you name it D:\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Variations\mono\Development\Classes\classes.jar.

A: I've got into the same situation, and after some search I've found that you should take that class from elsewhere and simply copy it into your project. On my machine the class is in "...path-to-unity-installation...\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Source\com\unity3d\player".
I think that the new approach that sidesteps using UnityPlayerActivity is totally worth attention, though.

A: There is a really great tutorial and accompanying youtube video on how to make native Android plugins and incorporate in Unity 3D.
http://www.cwgtech.com/using-android-webview-to-display-a-webpage-on-top-of-the-unity-app-view/

A: *

*Create a new Module, eg: name it "UnityActivity".

*Add classes.jar which can be found in unity install folder as Dependences in the method of "CompileOnly"

*Add the Source Code of "UnityPlayerActivity" in to module of UnityActivity.

*Add the new Module as Dependences to "Your Module" in the method of "CompileOnly"

Now you can create your CustomActivity extends from UnityPlayerActivity. and build into *.aar.

A: The idea is to mock the dependency com.unity3d.player. In Android Studio:

*

*Create a new project (MyUnityPlayerActivity) with "no activity".

*From File/New/New Module, create new Module (Player) with package name com.unity3d.player.

Apply these for "both" modules (app and player):

*

*Clean-up any non-library references (icons, themes,...etc.) from AndroidManifest.xml.

*Delete everything under the folder res except res/values/strings.xml.

*In build.gradle of the module:

*

*Replace id 'com.android.application' with id 'com.android.library'.

*Delete the line applicationId "...".

*Delete all lines related with tests.

*Delete all dependencies.

*Add local Unity installation dependency as "compile only" (so that it is not included in build).

dependencies {
    compileOnly files('C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editor/2019.4.32f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Variations/mono/Release/Classes/classes.jar)
}

In module player:

*

*Copy UnityPlayerActivity.java from C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\src\com\unity3d\player\ to /player/java/com.unity3d.player.

In module app:

*

*In build.gradle of module MyUnityPlayerActivity add compile only dependency to the module player we just created.

dependencies {
    compileOnly files('C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editor/2019.4.32f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Variations/mono/Release/Classes/classes.jar)
    compileOnly project(':player')
}

*

*Create new class MyUnityPlayerActivity.

package com.mycompany.myapplication.player;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

import com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity;

public class MyUnityPlayerActivity extends UnityPlayerActivity {
    private static final String TAG = "Unity";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Log.d(TAG, "Running MyUnityPlayerActivity.");
    }
}

It should be good to go.

Coinbase to Custody FTX's Exchange Token
Coinbase has announced that it will provide custody services for the exchange token of the Binance-backed crypto derivatives platform FTX (FTT) on May 22.
Coinbase Custody will comprise the primary custodian for the ERC-20 token, managing custody, compliance, and insurance for the FTT tokens.
Coinbase stated that FTX is its "largest exchange client to-date."
The exchange noted that crypto watchers may notice large FTT transfers taking on the blockchain over recent and coming days, clarifying that they will be "closely monitored migrations of $FTT onto Coinbase Custody's secure, offline storage platform."
##FTX expands into United States ##
The news follows FTX's launch of a spot exchange in the United States earlier this month.
In order to facilitate the U.S. expansion, FTX registered as a money services business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, with the exchange expecting to soon receive several money transmitter licenses at the state level also.
The exchange also confirmed that it will apply for a BitLicense in a bid to service New York-based traders.
The exchange support trade between the U.S. dollar and Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Paxos Gold (PAXG), and Tether (USDT).
FTX.US plans to support additional crypto assets and fiat on-ramps in the future. The exchange also offers margin trading for "eligible traders."
##FTX rises to prominence ##
Since launching 12 months ago, FTX has emerged as a top player in the crypto derivatives sector, handling $250 million in volume over the past 24 hours.
In December, FTX secured a "strategic investment" from Binance on an undisclosed sum.

Playing with fire with FinCen and SEC, Binance may face a hefty penalty again after already losing 50 percent of its trading business
On 14 June, Binance announced that it "constantly reviews user accounts to improve (their) platform security and to comply with global compliance requirements", mentioning that "Binance is unable to provide services to any U.S. person" in the latest "Binance Terms of Use" attached within the announcement.
According to the data from a third-party traffic statistics website, Alexa, users in the U.S. form the biggest user group of Binance, accounting for about 25% of the total visitor traffic.
In the forecast of Binance's user scale compiled by The Block, the largest traffic is dominated by users in the U.S., surpassing the total of the ones from the second place to the fifth place.
Also, considering that the scale of digital asset trading for the users in the U.S. far exceeds that of the users of many other countries, it could mean that Binance may have already lost 50 % of the business income by losing users in the U.S. Apparently, such an announcement by Binance to stop providing services to users in the U.S. means Binance has no other alternative but "seek to live on."
So, what are the specific requirements of the U.S. for digital asset exchanges and which of the regulatory red lines of the U.S. did Binance cross?
Compliance issues relating to operation permission of digital asset exchanges
In the U.S., the entry barrier for obtaining a business license to operate a digital asset exchange is not high. Apart from the special licencing requirements of individual states such as New York, most of the states generally grant licences to digital asset exchanges through the issuance of a "Money Transmitter License" (MTL).
Each state has different requirements for MTL applications. Some of the main common requirements are:
Filling out the application form, including business address, tax identification number, social security number and statement of net assets of the owneproprietor Paying the relevant fees for the licence application Meeting the minimum net assets requirements stipulated by the state Completing a background check Providing a form of guarantee, such as security bonds
It is worth noting that not all states are explicitly using MTL to handle the issues around operation permission of digital asset exchanges. For instance, New Hampshire passed a new law on 12 March 2017, announcing that trading parties of digital assets in that state would not be bound by MTL. Also, Montana has not yet set up MTL, keeping an open attitude towards the currency trading business.
On top of obtaining the MTL in each state, enterprises are also required to complete the registration of "Money Services Business" (MSB) on the federal level FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Treasury Department) issued the "Application of FinCEN's Regulations to Persons Administering, Exchanging, or Using Virtual Currencies" on 18 March 2013. On the federal level, the guideline requires any enterprise involved in virtual currency services to complete the MSB registration and perform the corresponding compliance responsibilities. The main responsibility of a registered enterprise is to establish anti-money laundering procedures and reporting systems.
However, California is an exception. Enterprises in California would only need to complete the MSB registration on the federal level and they do not need to apply for the MTL in California.
Any enterprise operating in New York must obtain a virtual currency business license, Bitlicense, issued in New York
Early in July 2014, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS) has specially designed and launched the BitLicense, stipulating that any institutions participating in a business relevant to virtual currency (virtual currency transfer, virtual currency trust, provision of virtual currency trading services, issuance or management of virtual currencies) must obtain a BitLicense.
To date, the NYSDFS has issued 19 Bitlicenses. Among them includes exchanges such as Coinbase (January 2017), BitFlyer (July 2017), Genesis Global Trading (May 2018) and Bitstamp (April 2019).
Solely from the perspective of operation permission, Binance has yet to complete the MSB registration of FinCEN (its partner, BAM Trading, has completed the MSB registration). This means that Binance is not eligible to operate a digital asset exchange in the U.S. FinCEN has the rights to prosecute Binance based on its failure to fulfil the relevant 'anti-money laundering' regulatory requirements.
Compliance issues relating to online assets
With the further development of the digital asset market, ICO has released loads of "digital assets" that have characteristics of a "security" into the trading markets. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed more comprehensive compliance requirements for digital asset exchanges. The core of the requirements is reflected in the restrictions of offering digital assets trading service.
In the last two years, the SEC has reiterated on many occasions that digital assets that have characteristics of a security should not be traded on a digital asset exchange
In August 2017, when the development of ICO was at its peak, the SEC issued an investor bulletin "Investor Bulletin: Initial Coin Offerings" on its website and published an investigation report of the DAO. It determined that the DAO tokens were considered 'marketable securities', stressing that all digital assets considered 'marketable securities' would be incorporated into the SEC regulatory system, bound by the U.S. federal securities law. Soon after, the SEC also declared and stressed that "(if) a platform offers trading of digital assets that are securities and operates as an "exchange," as defined by the federal securities laws, then the platform must register with the SEC as a national securities exchange or be exempt from registration."
On 16 November 2018, the SEC issued a "Statement on Digital Asset Securities Issuance and Trading," in which the SEC used five real case studies to conduct exemplary penalty rulings on the initial offers and sales of digital asset securities, including those issued in ICOs, relevant cryptocurrency exchanges, investment management tools, ICO platforms and so on. The statement further reiterates that exchanges cannot provide trading services for digital assets that have characteristics of a security.
On 3 April 2019, the SEC issued the "Framework for 'Investment Contract' Analysis of Digital Assets" to further elucidate the evaluation criteria for determining whether a digital asset is a security and providing guiding opinions on the compliance of the issuance, sales, holding procedures of digital assets.
As of now, only a small number of digital assets, such as BTC, ETH, etc. meet the SEC's requirement of "non-securities assets." The potentially "compliant" digital assets are less than 20.
Early in March 2014, the Inland Revenue Service (IRS) has stated that Bitcoin will be treated as a legal property and will be subject to taxes. In September 2015, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) stated that Bitcoin is a commodity and will be treated as a "property" by the IRS for tax purposes.
On 15 June 2018, William Hinman, Director of the Corporate Finance Division of the SEC, said at the Cryptocurrency Summit held in San Francisco that BTC and ETH are not securities. Nevertheless, many ICO tokens fall under the securities category.
So far, only BTC and ETH have received approval and recognition of the U.S. regulatory authority as a "non-securities asset."
Since July 2018, the SEC has investigated more than ten types of digital assets, one after another, and ruled that they were securities and had to be incorporated into the SEC regulatory system. It prosecuted and punished those who had contravened the issuance and trading requirements of the securities laws.
Although there are still many digital assets that have yet to be characterised as "securities", it is extremely difficult to be characterised as a "non-securities asset" based on the evaluation criteria announced by the SEC. As the SEC's spokesperson has reiterated many times, they believe the majority of ICO tokens are securities.
Under the stipulated requirements of the SEC, Coinbase, a leading U.S. exchange, has withdrawn a batch of digital assets. The assets withdrawn included digital assets that had been characterised as "securities" as well as those that have high risks of being characterised as "securities." However, it is worth noting that although the risk to be characterised as "securities" for more than ten types of digital assets, which have not been explicitly required by SEC to be withdrawn, is relatively small, they are not entirely safe. With the further escalation of the SEC's investigations, they could still be characterised as securities and be held accountable for violating their responsibilities. However, this requires further guidance from the SEC.
*Coinbase's 14 types of digital assets that have yet to be requested for withdrawal
Poloniex announced on 16 May that it would stop providing services for nine digital assets, including Ardor (ARDR), Bytecoin (BCN), etc. under the compliance guidelines of the SEC. On 7 June, Bittrex also announced that it would stop providing trading services to U.S. users for 32 digital assets. The action of the SEC on its regulatory guidance was further reinforced apparently.
In fact, it is not the first time that these two exchanges have withdrawn digital assets under regulatory requirements. Since the rapid development of digital assets driven by ICO in 2017, Poloniex and Bittrex were once leading exchanges for ICO tokens, providing comprehensive trading services for digital assets. However, after the SEC reiterated its compliance requirements, Poloniex and Bittrex have withdrawn a considerable amount of assets in the past year to meet the compliance requirements.
In conclusion, the takeaways that we have got are as follows: Under the existing U.S. regulatory requirements of digital assets, after obtaining the basic entry licences (MSB, MTL), exchanges could either choose the "compliant asset" solution of Coinbase and only list a small number of digital assets that do not have apparent characteristics of a security, and at all times prepare to withdraw any asset later characterised as "securities" by the SECs; or choose to be like OKEx and Huobi and make it clear they would "not provide services to any U.S. users" at the start.
Binance has been providing a large number of digital assets that have characteristics of a security to U.S users without a U.S. securities exchange licence, so it has already contravened the SEC regulatory requirements.
On top of that, it is also worth noting that the rapid development of Binance has been achieved precisely through the behaviours of "contrary to regulations" and "committing crimes." Amid the blocking of several pioneering exchanges, such as OKCoin, Huobi, etc. providing services to Chinese users in the Chinese market under new laws from the regulatory authorities, Binance leapfrogged the competition and began to dominate the Chinese market. Similarly, Binance's rapid growth in the U.S. market is mainly due to its domination of the traffic of digital assets withdrawn by Poloniex and Bittrex. One can say that Binance not only has weak awareness of compliance issues, but it is also indeed "playing with fire" with the U.S. regulators.
In April 2018, the New York State Office of Attorney General (OAG) requested 13 digital asset exchanges, including Binance, to prepare for investigations, indicating it would initiate an investigation in relations to company ownership, leadership, operating conditions, service terms, trading volume, relationships with financial institutions, etc. Many exchanges, including Gemini, Bittrex, Poloniex, BitFlyer, Bitfinex, and so on, proactively acknowledged and replied in the first instance upon receipt of the investigation notice. However, Binance had hardly any action.
Binance has been illegally operating in the U.S. for almost two years. It has not yet fulfilled the FinCEN and MSB registration requirements. Moreover, it has also neglected the SEC announcements and OAG investigation summons on several occasions. The ultimate announcement of exiting the U.S. market may be due to the tremendous pressure imposed by the U.S. regulators.
In fact, the SEC executives have recently stressed that "exchanges of IEO in the U.S. market are facing legal risks and the SEC would soon crack down on these illegal activities" on numerous occasions. These were clear indications of imposing pressure on Binance.
Regarding the SEC's rulings on illegal digital asset exchanges, EtherDelta and investment management platform, Crypto Asset Management, it may not be easy for Binance to "fully exit" from the U.S. market. It may be faced with a hefty penalty. Once there are any compensation claims by the U.S. users for losses incurred in the trading of assets at Binance, it would be dragged into a difficult compensation dilemma. It would undoubtedly be a double blow for Binance that has just been held accountable for the losses incurred in a theft of 7,000 BTC.
Coincidentally, Binance was tossed out of Japan because of compliance issues. In March 2018, the Financial Services Agency of Japan officially issued a stern warning to Binance, which was boldly providing services to Japanese users without registering for a digital asset exchange licence in Japan. Binance was forced to relocate to Malta instead. Binance may have to bear hefty penalties arising from challenging the compliance requirements after it had lost important markets due to consecutive compliance issues.
The rise of Binance was attributed to its bold and valiant style, grasping the opportunity created in the vacuum period of government regulation, breaking compliance requirements and rapidly dominating the market to obtain user traffic. For a while, it gained considerable advantages in the early, barbaric growth stage of the industry. Nonetheless, under the increasingly comprehensive regulatory compliance system for global digital asset markets, Binance, which has constantly been "evading regulation" and "resisting supervision" would undoubtedly face enormous survival challenges, notwithstanding that it would lose far more than 50 per cent of the market share.

Binance.US Is Live, Not Supporting 13 U.S. States Including New York
Binance's United States Branch Will Offer Zero Fees For Trading Pairs Until 1st November 2019
Binance, one of the leading crypto exchanges to date, announced the launch of their U.S. branch on Wednesday, September 18th, 2019. Aimed at residents in the United States, the platform will initially allow trading with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and Tether. For now, Binance's USD-linked stablecoin BUSD would not be included. Binance will add other cryptocurrencies to the trading pair list after they have passed the exchange's Digital Asset Risk Assessment Framework.
The platform launch comes as a logical consequence from the official announcement of the new branch plans, made by Binance`s CEO Changpeng Zhao`s on 13th June. Just a day after the announcement, Binance updated their terms of use to stop support for U.S citizen.
According to Zhao, Binance US would be running under full regulatory compliance through their cooperation with BAM Trading Services. BAM is registered with and approved by the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
The Binance.US launch comes with certain limitations to citizens of 13 States, who are not being supported at the time of platform launch. These states are New York, Texas, Washington, Alaska, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Vermont, and North Carolina. Binance stated that although the 13 states are currently excluded, the company is working to provide access to digital assets for all U.S. citizen in the near future.
Binance's U.S. branch CEO Catherine Coley – former Ripple head of institutional liquidity, stated that until 1st November all trading fees would be scrapped as a compliement from the company, to celebrate the launch of their platform. After that, the exchange will impose trading charges of 0.1% for personal accounts. Corporate accounts` fees will be defined in according with the trading volumes executed by the account holders.
Binance users who want to use Binance.US have to transfer their funds to Binance U.S., as the platform is separate from Binance.com, and is operated by BAM. In regards to cybercrime, the platform will go the extra mile, as security issues are being taken very seriously by Binance.
Crypto 'Exchange of Exchanges' ShortHop Expands to 7 US States
https://preview.redd.it/jvp4ecyji3j31.png?width=860&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9eaf7617de65fa6822d20c7bd01593cfa275e6d
ShortHop, an "exchange of exchanges" for cryptocurrency trading, has launched in seven additional U.S. states.
Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, the exchange and brokerage has opened for business in Indiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Arizona and Montana. The Wilmington, Del.-based ShortHop was already live in California, Washington and Illinois.
While the exchange's parent company, technology provider Velocity Markets, is registered as a money services business (MSB) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), ShortHop had to apply for money transmitter licenses in each state where it does business. The company also expects to be licensed in Utah and Pennsylvania next week.
As a "spot fill market," ShortHop allows customers to transact digital asset listings from multiple order books on one screen in addition to its own orders to provide customers with the lowest price, said Velocity Markets CEO Jonathan Kelfer.
"You might find that when you go on Binance, the spot price for bitcoin is the quoted price. When you go on Gemini it's the quoted price there as well," Kelfer said, by way of example. "We'll use that in aggregate to get the best price across the ecosystem."
In this way, the company's model resembles those of Voyager and Fidelity Digital Asset Services, both of which act as brokers, helping customers find the best deals in a highly fragmented market. The difference is that ShortHop also has its own exchange.
"ShortHop is a spot market first, but we're aggregating liquidity across the ecosystem," Kelfer said, adding that the service is currently plugged into a total of eight exchanges and OTC desks.
ShortHop's organic orders get treated like any other order on the marketplace, but "the more orders, the better the price," Kelfer said.
Skipping between assets
Kelfer founded the company in the early part of the initial coin offering (ICO) boom, seeing a need for reliable American exchanges.
"It was my perspective that there wasn't a U.S.-based presence where people could reliably base these assets," Kelfer said. "You really had to get on some Chinese exchange, because U.S. exchanges weren't listing most of these tokens."
Currently, ShortHop just lists a few major cryptocurrencies. Users can acquire and trade bitcoin, ether, litecoin, bitcoin cash, XRP and Stellar lumens (XLM). ShortHop also allows customers to "hop" between these assets without having to go through multiple conversions on different exchanges. Its technology accomplishes this by cross ordering books to create synthetic pairs.
Velocity Markets is also building a digital securities exchange. It owns a broker-dealer under the legal name Distributed Technology Markets that has an alternative trading system form on file at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company will be using the broker-dealer license to enable the digital securities exchange, but the company would not disclose when it plans to launch.
Right now, new users on ShortHop's platform receive $25 worth of bitcoin for signing up. The platform at the moment is feeless, and Kelfer plans to subsidize retail users by offering a plug-in service to institutions who want to connect to the exchange's capabilities.
"We'd rather do this than nickel-and-dime retail users who should have access to the same quality of infrastructure that large players do," Kelfer said. "That's not to say we won't layer on fees in the future."

Top Stories, Price Movements, Quotes and FUD of the Week
FinCEN Takes First Enforcement Action Against Peer-to-Peer Cryptocurrency Exchanger
In an apparent first, the United States Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has given a penalty to a California resident who has been accused of wilfully violating money transmission laws as a peer-to-peer virtual currency exchanger. The department noted that the move marks its first such enforcement action, thus setting a precedent. The defendant — Eric Powers of Kern County, California — has been fined $35,000 and debarred from future work that qualifies as a money services business. The fine came from the determination that Powers violated his reporting obligations under the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act.
Self-Proclaimed Satoshi, Craig Wright, Sues Podcaster Peter McCormack for Alleged Libel
Craig Wright, the chief scientist at nChain and founder of bitcoin SV (BSV), filed a libel claim in the United Kingdom against cryptocurrency podcaster Peter McCormack. McCormack had previously accused Wright of fraud and falsely claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin (BTC). In response, Wright's claim allegedly requests over $130,000 in damages, as well as legal costs and court fees. Earlier this week, Binance, ShapeShift and Kraken decided to delist BSV amid Wright's continued claims to be Satoshi, as well as his bounty offering in the search for the identity of the anonymous Twitter user behind the Lightning Torch.
French Gov't Minister Open to Enabling Crypto Donations for Notre Dame
Cédric O, France's Minister of State for the Digital Sector, said this week that he is open to accepting cryptocurrency donations for the reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which experienced a debilitating fire last week. The donations for the medieval cathedral's reconstruction have already reached over $1 billion, while not yet allowing for donations in crypto. The official fundraising site is linked to four approved organizations, with Cédric O noting that the government is open to discussion on how to accept crypto to drive up the fundraising.
Both BlockShow, an international blockchain event powered by Cointelegraph, and major crypto exchange Binance have launched crypto donation campaigns for the renovations.

Crypto Recap March 6: BTC Sellers Take Control, Support at $10k Back in Focus
As seen in CoinLive News Terminal.
A reality check for crypto traders, as the return of Bitcoin sellers sent a reminder of the state of affairs in the market. An environment dominated by unconvincingly feeble buy-side interest as we've been flagging up in recent times, with Google searches for Bitcoin and other related keywords at depressed levels, where a Bitcoin transaction takes one block to confirm and with a network value assigned to Bitcoin incongruent to the number of transactions through the network.
It looks as though the damage done to the multitude of retail accounts buying into the hype of the irrational exuberance in December has forced many to jump ship on the idea of re-engaging in buying cryptos even at current discounted prices. Throw into the mix the unclear regulatory landscape, and the absence of sufficient institutional capital flows, not yet coming in the amounts to make a distinctive difference, and it's easier to understand why the overall interest in cryptos has been on the decline.
Scanning through the top cryptos, as repeatedly mentioned, Bitcoin remains the magnet the rest of the Alts complex follows, and as a result, the 6% drop in BTC value led to similar negative percentage moves, with the exception of Vechain, up 4%. The total market value saw a slide from near $470b to currently stand at $440b. Despite the reduction in Bitcoin prices, the asset's dominance holds steady above the 40%, highest in 2018, which firms up the notion of a Bitcoin cycle phase.

Hamas gunman kills 1 before Israeli police shoot him dead
Israeli security personnel and members of Zaka Rescue and Recovery team carry the body of a Palestinian man who was fatally shot by Israeli police after he killed one Israeli and wounded four others in a shooting attack in Jerusalem's Old City today.
JERUSALEM >> A Hamas militant today opened fire in Jerusalem's Old City, killing one Israeli and wounding four others before he was fatally shot by Israeli police.
It was not immediately clear whether Hamas, an Islamic militant group sworn to Israel's destruction, had ordered the attack or whether one of its members had acted alone. Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has largely adhered to a cease-fire with Israel since an 11-day war last May and shootings attacks inside the Old City are rare.
Police said the attack took place near an entrance to a contested flashpoint shrine known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. Violence surrounding the site, which is considered holy by both faiths, has triggered previous rounds of fighting, including the war last May.
Israeli officials said Eliyahu Kay, a 26-year-old immigrant from South Africa, was killed in the shooting. Kay had recently worked at the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray. One of the four people wounded was in serious condition.
Police identified the attacker as a 42-year-old Palestinian from east Jerusalem. Palestinian media identified him as Fadi Abu Shkhaidem, a teacher at a nearby high school.
In Gaza, Hamas praised the attack as a "heroic operation" and said Abu Shkhaidem was one of its members. However, the group stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack.
"Our people's resistance will continue to be legitimate by all means and tools against the Zionist occupier until our desired goals are achieved and the occupation is expelled from our holy sites and all of our lands," spokesman Abdel Latif al-Qanou said.
Hamas has fought four wars against Israel since it took control of Gaza from the rival Fatah group in 2007.
Israel, along with Egypt, have together maintained a stifling blockade on Gaza since the Hamas takeover, causing great harm to the territory's already weak economy. Since the May war, Israel and Hamas have conducted indirect talks through Egyptian mediators aimed at cementing a long-term cease-fire.
Israel, along with the U.S. and European Union, consider Hamas a terrorist group. On Friday, Britain said it also intends to ban Hamas as a terrorist group and would no longer differentiate between its political and military wings.
Israel's figurehead president, Isaac Herzog, called on other countries to follow suit as he landed in Britain on Sunday for an official visit. "The fact the terrorist was from Hamas 'political wing' compels the international community to recognise it as a terror group," Herzog tweeted.
Dimiter Tzantchev, the EU ambassador-designate to Israel, condemned "this senseless attack against civilians. Violence is never the answer."
Sunday's incident was the second of its kind in Jerusalem's historic Old City in recent days. On Wednesday, a Palestinian teen was fatally shot after stabbing two Israeli border police.
Palestinians have carried out dozens of stabbing, shooting and car-ramming attacks targeting Israeli civilians and security personnel in recent years. Palestinians and rights groups contend some of the alleged car-rammings were accidents and accuse Israel of using excessive force.
But shootings around Jerusalem's Old City and its holy sites are relatively rare, and Israel maintains a sizeable security presence in the area.
Israel captured east Jerusalem, including the Old City and its Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites, along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war. It later annexed east Jerusalem in a move unrecognized by most of the international community.
The Palestinians seek the occupied West Bank and Gaza for a future independent state, with east Jerusalem as its capital.

Mexican governor says predecessor made deals with drug gangs


By John Frith In History Issue Volume 22 No. 2 .
In that time it also became known as the great white plague and the white death [4, 5, 24], called "white" because of the extreme anaemic pallor of those affected [4, 25]. The term white plague was used by Oliver Wendall Holmes, an American physician and writer, in 1861 in comparing the enormity of the epidemic to other severe plagues of the time.  Dormandy (1999) states that the term "white" may also have referred to its association with youth, innocence and even holiness.  Consumptive patients took on the appearance of a thin, pale, melancholy, almost delicate spirit. The wan and pallid facies of the victim was thought to be attractive and Dormandy states it gave women a "terrible beauty" .
The imagery of the consumptive was also used by the writers of popular fiction of the 19th century who began the literary tradition of vampirism to describe vampires and their victims. Consequently it was sometimes thought, especially in areas of the world where such folklore abound such as New England in America and Yorkshire in northern Britain, that people seen to be suffering from what were actually symptoms of tuberculosis, the wasting and extreme pallor, were victims of vampires or were vampires themselves. .
From the beginning of the 19th century physicians debated in earnest two important questions about the pathological foundations of phthisis – firstly whether it was infectious, hereditary, or cancer, and secondly, whether scrofula, tubercles, and phthisis were separate disease entities or manifestations of the one disease.
The most prominent proponents of a single entity were René Laennec and the Viennese pathologist Carl von Rokitansky. In contrast, Giovanna Battista Morgagni of Padua, and German physicians Rudolf Virchov and Johann Lukas Schönlein believed the diseases were separate entities. [1, 3] This question wasn't settled until Robert Koch discovered in 1882 the Tubercle bacillus and that it was responsible for all forms of the disease.
Robert Koch's discovery paved the way for the development of the Pirquet and Mantoux tuberculin skin tests, Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin's BCG vaccine, Selman Waksman's streptomycin and other anti-tuberculous drugs. Tuberculosis is still a major public health problem today, in 2011, 8.7 million people were infected with tuberculosis with 1.4 million deaths, and mortality from tuberculosis has increased in recent decades with the emergence of HIV and of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis.

Volkswagen is linking with the RAC to offer a telematics package across its commercial vehicle range. The new VW Telematics offering will give van users the opportunity to monitor the location, operation and performance of their vans.
Rendell was speaking at VW's recent market performance event where the company updated the press on its 2014 performance and highlighted the key points for the year ahead.
With the launch of the new Caddy and Transporter it looks like being a big year for VW coming off the back of a strong performance in 2014: "The total sales for VW Commercial Vehicles was 444,900, up 2% on 2013," said Carl zu Dohna, director of VW Commercial Vehicles in the UK. "The UK sales represent just over 10% of that, making it the biggest export market for the company, 11.8% up on 2013.


Location: Coming from Bathurst turn right at the traffic lights in Blackheath on the Great western Highway and then immediately left onto Station Street and then right into Shipley Road and proceed to the intersection of Shipley Road and Megalong Road. The Shipley road runs south west about 5.5km to the Shipley Plateau. The Megalong Road runs mainly south for around 22km.
Time required at site: 2-4 hrs to drive to Shipley Plateau, Megalong Valley, Nellies Glen Road and the Six FootTrack.
Relevance to Cox's Road: The Megalong Valley is a sub-section of the greater Cox's River Valley, arguably an easier way to cross the Blue Mountains, and the location of a number of Aboriginal routes that link with Cox's Road.

BettingPro / Tennis / ATP Tournaments / Kyrgios 'super excited' to face Nadal at Australian Open after marathon win over Khachanov
Kyrgios 'super excited' to face Nadal at Australian Open after marathon win over Khachanov
Hannah Wilks / Jan 25, 2020
Nick Kyrgios battled to a four-hour, 24-minute victory over Karen Khachanov at the Australian Open, but says next opponent Rafael Nadal is 'a different beast altogether'.
Australian Open tennis is live from Melbourne from 20 January until 2 February 2020.
Kyrgios said he was 'super excited' to write the next chapter in his rivalry with Nadal on Monday. The fourth-round clash will be Kyrgios's reward for what he called 'one of the craziest matches' he had ever won.
Played on Kyrgios's favoured Australian Open court, the Melbourne Arena, a partisan crowd roared Kyrgios on as he battled for over four hours to subdue Khachanov.
Kyrgios raced to a 4-2 lead in the first set but took an off-court medical time-out for what he referred to, after the match, as a pain in 'his left bum-cheek'. It did not stop him from taking a 6-2, 7-6(5) lead, and the Australian even led Khachanov – who had played an extremely lengthy five-set match against Sweden's Mikael Ymer in the previous round – by a break in the third set.
The world no. 26 looked to be headed for a surprisingly straightforward victory. But a sloppy game allowed Khachanov back in, and the Russian broke back, saved match point on his serve and took the third set 7-6(6).
Kyrgios argues with the umpire (AAP Image/Lukas Coch)
When Kyrgios bloodied his hand after hitting an unnecessary (albeit spectacular) diving winner at 4-4 in the fourth and immediately got into an argument with the umpire, who gave him a time violation not realizing Kyrgios's hand was bleeding and he was trying to keep the ballkid from touching his bloodied towel, the stage looked set for a classic Kyrgios meltdown. Khachanov saved another match point in the ensuing tie-break by hitting a smash off Kyrgios's lob attempt, and took the fourth set 7-6(7) to send the match to five sets.
For the second time in two days, the Australian Open played host to a five-set thriller featuring a home player which went all the way down to the wire. Like Roger Federer and John Millman on Friday, Kyrgios and Khachanov found themselves in a decisive ten-point super tie-break to decide the match. Kyrgios raced to 3-0 but soon found himself pegged back on serve after a careless backhand.
From that point on, the tie-break saw some of the most spectacular winners that the two shotmakers had produced all match. Khachanov edged ahead 8-7 with a mini-break to put himself two points from the win, just as Millman had been on Friday; but Kyrgios nailed a backhand down the line winner to retrieve the mini-break, and a backhand down the net from Khachanov gave Kyrgios his third match point – and for the first time it was on his own serve.
That was all Kyrgios needed to seal the win and the Australian fell flat on his back as the crowd went crazy.
Afterwards, he said:
'That was definitely one of the craziest matches I've ever been a part of. It was insane.
'Had a match point in the third, a match point in the fourth. Then 8-7 down, I had all the thoughts. I thought I was going to lose. I was thinking about everything… It was crazy.'

The lengthy match clearly gives Nadal, who has yet to drop a set, the physical advantage ahead of Monday's fourth-round clash, but Kyrgios insisted he was looking forward to the match.
'I'm super excited, honestly. Playing one of the greatest tennis players on centre court at your own Slam, it's pretty damn cool.
'I've got a lot of time between now and then. Obviously, it's going to be another physical battle. Nothing comes easy with him. He had a relatively routine match today, so he's going to be feeling good. I'm looking forward to it. That's why you play.'
Kyrgios and Nadal have had a complicated and not always amicable history. As a little-known wildcard, Kyrgios shocked Nadal in the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2014 and has gone on to win two of their subsequent six encounters, including a particularly acrimonious one in Acapulco last spring, during which Kyrgios pulled out an underarm serve to try to take advantage of Nadal's deep returning position.
After the match, Nadal said that Kyrgios 'lacks respect for the crowd, his opponent and towards himself'. In response, Kyrgios called Nadal 'super salty' and claimed he had meant to hit Nadal with a fiercely-struck forehand during their Wimbledon match, which Nadal won in four sets.
Kyrgios has already courted controversy during this tournament by doing a widely-shared and instantly recognizable of Nadal's characteristic pre-serve ritual in response to being given a time violation during his match against Gilles Simon. (Simon later did a similar impression.)
Kyrgios played down questions about the animosity, saying:
'There's a layer of respect we have for each other. We're just going to go out there and give contrasting styles and personalities.'
Asked about his relatively successful head-to-head against Nadal – he trails 3-4, but leads 2-1 on hard courts – Kyrgios said:
'Ever since juniors I think I've enjoyed playing lefties. I think I know what kind of game plan I need to bring to be successful against them. Rafa's a different beast altogether.
'I mean, I kind of know his patterns, everybody kows his patterns but you can't do anything about them. Federer knows his patterns, everybody knows his patterns, but he executes them at the highest level.
'But I'm not even thinking about that match to be honest. Tonight's match hasn't even sunk in. I'm still dealing with a bunch of emotions.'

» Are you sharing your Christmas goodies?
Are you sharing your Christmas goodies?
I will share mine, but I will hide them at the back of the fridge / cupboard in between.
I'm going to share, but I'll be also hiding in between times so we have left overs! It's good to show how tasty vegan food can be! Can't wait for my Christmas dinner tomorrow.
What goodies have you got HSM?
Our Christmas chocs are vegan. No one is getting any apart from dh and me.
I've only got biscuits and chocolate, but there are plenty of other biscuits and chocolate for people to have. I do know my mum likes dark chocolate though, so if they run out I'll share with her.
Surely sharing all these bits is a great way to show off that you don't have to miss out by being vegan?

Q: How to make type lookup to original type to defer its return type I built some neat ts-get library that helps to live without optional-chaining for some time. But I'm struggling with one typing case that I can't resolve.
Basically, if not a scalar, but an object type is returned from AccessorFunction I want to look up to original T type, for an original nested type. For scalars, I want to keep the behavior I have.
Here is the original code:
https://github.com/RIP21/ts-get/blob/master/src/index.ts
Issue is with case like that.
type Original = {
  objectField?: {
    optionalField?: string | undefined
  }
}

const obj = {} as Original

const a = get(obj, it => it.objectField)
//    ^ is of type { optionalField: string } | undefined
// expected type in this case { optionalField?: string | undefined } | undefined

If you guys will be able to help it will make our life a bit better and a bit more correctly typed ^_^


The Photographer Argument: What Makes Someone A Photographer?
Stick with me because this is not just a rant!
It amazes me how many people buy a nice camera (typically under $1,000 with 1 or maybe 2 kit style lenses and no hot shoe mountable flash), put up a Facebook business page, get business cards printed and say they are a photographer. Technically, anyone with a camera can likely be called a photographer, but the dictionary defines a photographer as a person who takes photographs especially as a job. So for the purpose of this post, a person that takes photographs is not a photographer but someone who takes photographs to make money as a job or career is what this post will focus on.
Does a hammer and a box of nails make someone a carpenter? No - Does putting a quart of oil in a car make someone a mechanic? No - Does using a plunger to unstop a toilet make someone a plumber? No - Then, why in the ____ do so many people think that owning a camera, having a Facebook business page with some of their images and business cards from Vistaprint makes them a photographer? Most new photographers that I meet have NO clue how to actually adjust settings on the camera and absolutely ZERO clue how to use a hotshoe mountable flash inside and outside. When it comes to editing, they are also not very knowledgable about that either.
My point to the above paragraph is that new photographers need to learn some basics and do a lot of other things to really be a solid photographer. Most of the $99 burn it all to a CD are not making a full time living at photography. I mean actually paying the household bills and putting food on the table with nothing but their photography income.
Does any of the above make someone a bad person or a bad photographer? No - It's mostly just a rant from me about wannabees that have no clue what they are doing to themselves in their business or to the photography business in general. However, at the end of the day, unless these photographers are truly taking food off your table, I personally wouldn't worry about it much and move on.
Concerning the previous paragraph, a core reason that I wouldn't worry about it is because if a $99 burn it all to a CD, new photographer with a kit lens is stealing all your business, you should consider a different target market. If you are a full time photographer consistently losing business to new low priced photographers, you need to explore your business plan and make adjustments. Hint: It's not competing on price that will solve the problem.
There are clients who are shopping price and need images that are just good enough to get by. Images that will be used only on the web or social media in a small size may work fine for some clients. However, there are clients that want quality and don't mind paying a fair market price to get it. So don't go head-to-head with the $99 newbie kit lens photographers and don't whine about it.
The problem with the low priced new photographers is that they are focused on being the low priced leader and some clients are looking for that. On the other hand, some new photographers are willing to travel hundreds of miles from their home base to make it happen, don't whine about them either. Either do what they are doing or find another way to make it happen. Don't get caught up on the new guy. Focus on your business and strategy instead. Trust me, the right clients are out there. Nothing worth having comes easy and working full time as a photographer is not the easiest way to make a living.


Argument: a central claim with unique supporting evidence. This targeted prompt asks you to definitely explain why a character's moral ambiguity contributes into the novel's theme.

During the examination, you're necessary to solution publish three essays: two of these review a bit of literature (an excerpt from a quick story, a poem, or perhaps a narrative essay) and an individual solutions a absolutely free response prompt with a bit of merit-based producing that you've check out prior to the test.
