Washington's Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, announced on June 21, 2018 that he will lead a coalition of states to challenge the Trump Administration's forced family separation policy on the U.S. southern border. ""This is a rogue, cruel, and unconstitutional policy," Ferguson said. "We're going to put a stop to it."

WASHINGTON STATE VS. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
Washington joined other states to sue the Trump Administration over its decision to include a question about citizenship status on May 27, 2018.
"The Census Bureau's own research reveals asking people about their citizenship status could significantly undermine its constitutional mandate: an accurate count of everyone in the United States, regardless of immigration status," Attorney General Bob Ferguson said. "If Washington state's large immigrant population isn't accurately counted, the impact on our congressional representation and billions of dollars in federal funds our state receives could be jeopardized."

Washington and nine other states filed a lawsuit intending to block the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from suspending a "Clean Water Rule" that protects the nation's lakes, streams, rivers and wetlands. The Clean Water Rule was developed using a science-based approach to clarify what constitutes "waters of the United States" under the federal Clean Water Act. They also sued the EPA in December 2017 for violating the Clean Air Act by delaying regulations on ground level ozone. Aude Guerrucci-Pool /Getty ImagesShow MoreShow Less
Though not yet an official lawsuit, Attorney General Bob Ferguson warned U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke that one would come if the administration tried to drill for oil off the state's Pacific beaches.
"Before I detail my opposition, I would like to invite you, Secretary Zinke, to join me for a visit to Washington's Pacific Coast," Ferguson wrote. "As an outdoorsman, you will appreciate the unique beauty of the longest unbroken piece of primitive coastline in the lower 48 state, the coastal portion of Olympic National Park.

In his 19th time taking the Trump administration to federal court, State Attorney General Bob Ferguson sued the administration over its net neutrality repeal on December 14, 2017. He planned to challenge the legality of a FCC decision that gutted Obama-era net neutrality rules that barred major providers like Comcast, Verizon and AT & T from charging extra for faster internet access and guaranteeing equal access to all sites.GENNA MARTIN, SEATTLEPIShow MoreShow Less

In July 2017, Attorney General Bob Ferguson sued the EPA over the Chemical Disaster Rule, which the administration reportedly blocked from going into effect. Ferguson was one of 11 attorneys who headed to federal court to un-block it. The Chemical Disaster Rule sprouted from a disaster in Texas — the West Fertilizer Plant Explosion, which killed 12 first responders. The attorneys general charged that Pruitt's action to delay the rule into 2019 was a violation of the federal Clean Air Action. Show MoreShow Less
Attorney General Bob Ferguson took to court in July 2017 to force EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt to complete a scientific safety review of the neurotoxic pesticide chlorpyrifos, which Pruitt halted while the review was already underway.
"President Trump's EPA is willfully ignoring scientific evidence that chlorpyrifos is harmful to human health," said Ferguson. "Washington's consumers, farmworkers and farm operators deserve an administration that respects science and cares about the risks to their health."

Washington state threatened to sue the Trump administration if it "attempted to harm" the Hanford Reach National Monument in eastern Washington, which protects the last free flowing stretch of Columbia River between Bonneville Dam and the Canadian border.
Neither President Trump nor Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke have legal authority to revoke national monuments, Attorney General Bob Ferguson argued in a letter to Zinke released in May 2017. The monument was designated by President Clinton in 2000.
"I ask President Trump and Secretary Zinke to respect the legal limits of their powers," said Ferguson. "If President Trump attempts to harm Washington's national monuments, my office will defend them."

Washington challenged Trump's Muslim travel ban No. 1 AND No 2. Ferguson also sued for a third time. He said: "The president has capitulated on numerous key provisions backed by our lawsuit, including bans on green card holders, visa holders and dual citizens, an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees and explicit preferences based on religion."

In May 2017, AG Bob Ferguson announced he and 15 other Democratic attorney generals asked to intervene in defense of a key provision of the Affordable Care Act — subsidy payments that are made to insurance companies. "If this key funding is eliminated, tens of thousands of low-income Washingtonians could lose their health coverage entirely," Ferguson said. "Many more would face devastating increases in the cost of care. "
Gov. Jay Inslee added: "Washington state has shown that, when done right, the Affordable Care Act expands health coverage to those who need it most, decreases the rate of health care cost inflation in the individual market, and creates jobs."Rachel La Corte/APShow MoreShow Less
And then there was coal. On May 9, 2017, Attorney General Bob Ferguson took on the Trump administration over its decision to restart leasing federal lands in the West for coal production. Washington, along with California, New York, and New Mexico filed a federal suit in Montana, charging that two federal departments acted "arbitrarily, capriciously, contrary to law, abused their discretion and failed to follow the procedures required by law."
On September 25, 2017, Washington asked a U.S. District court to allow the state to join a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's prohibition on transgender troops serving in the military. "Thousands of transgender individuals serve or have served their country with honor and distinction," Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in a statement. "Barring transgender individuals from serving based on anything other than their ability is wrong."

In October 2017, Attorney General Bob Ferguson headed to federal court to block a Trump administration rule that would make it harder for women to obtain contraception. The Trump administration was rolling back on an Obama-era rule that required most employers to provide employees with birth control coverage without copayments — its new rules would make it easier for employees to refuse coverage by citing a "religious or moral objection."

The enduring greatness of America is proven by our country's endurance of dreadful presidents, from a drunken Andrew Johnson, to Warren Harding presiding over Cabinet bribes, to Richard Nixon talking to portraits of his predecessors.
None as dreadful, or as dreadfully dangerous, as the 45th President, Donald J. Trump.
This week, Trump attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to illegally funneling hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal to influence the election, while former campaign adviser Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight counts of financial fraud.
RELATED: Manafort juror says 1 holdout prevented 18-count conviction
The cesspool of Donald Trump's government was again on full display early Thursday morning with Trump denouncing his own Attorney General for recusing himself in the Russia investigation. "What kind of man is this?" he asked.
Trump decried "flippers," like Cohen -- participants in criminal behavior who decide to cooperate with prosecutors, and suggested deals like his ought to be made illegal.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., the second House member to endorse Trump in 2016, appeared in court to face charges he and spouse took $250,000 in campaign funds to support a lavish personal lifestyle.
The first Trump endorser, Rep. Chris Collins, R-New York, has already been indicted on charges of tipping off his son to dump a drug stock after learning that the company's wonder drug had failed a test. He made the call from the White House lawn.
What proverb sums up the situation? A fish rots from the head down.
Or the Turkish variation: The fish stinks first from the head.
A generation ago, we had principled Republicans who put country first.
The White House tapes, and revelation of Nixon's involvement in criminal activities and a criminal cover up, saw a from-the-gut -- and practical -- reaction from party leaders.
RELATED: Connelly: Washington plans to sue Trump Administration over Clean Power Plan rollback
Sure took them long enough. Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott had dismissed Watergate as a "nothing issue." But he vented his disgust when hearing Nixon's tapes. Sen. Barry Goldwater went with Scott to the White House and gave Nixon a blunt message: It's time for you to go.
Early Republican voices for Nixon's ouster included Washington Attorney General Slade Gorton -- who has made clear his disgust at Trump -- and conservative New York Sen. James Buckley.
"There are only so many lies you can take," Goldwater said at the time. He used an earthy Goldwater expression -- "a bucket of s***" -- to describe explanations coming out of the Nixon White House.
How many Trump lies have today's Republicans taken? Thousands. And, borrowing words from Saint Thomas More, silence gives consent.
The President is protecting himself, at the expense of party and country. Ex-CIA Director John Brennan is right: It was "treasonous" for Trump in Helsinki to seemingly back Vladimir Putin, in denying Russian interference in the 2016 election, and dis his own intelligence agencies.
The President is now telling us it was not a crime, just before the 2016 election, to pay for the silence of women he had slept with. He denied knowing about the payments. Now, he says he knew about the payments months later.
Where are the Buckleys, Gortons, Scotts and Goldwaters today?
Such is the stature of our Republican lawmakers that they could hide in a field of stubble.
The Trump administration's chief enabler in Washington state, U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, will welcome Trump enabler/apologist Kellyanne Conway to a fundraiser in Spokane, Washington on Friday.

The Trump following is constructing its own reality. At the Hamilton Farms sign along Interstate 5 near Chehalis, the message Wednesday was "Drain the swamp. Defeat Maria Cantwell."
Huh? Sen. Cantwell blew the whistle on the taxpayer-paid $12,800 air charter that took U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke from a political contributor's big event in Las Vegas to Kalispell, Montana.
The Trump administration is dominated by swamp creatures. The worst conduct of the President -- his lies, his abusiveness, his coddling of Putin -- get tolerated in exchange for payoffs to the Christian right and interests like Big Oil and Big Coal.
Enough! Basta!
A President cannot be indicted. He can be impeached. The Cohen guilty plea this week is evidence of participation in a crime. Expect more evidence. The Special Prosecutor is running a meticulous operation.
It's time to begin an impeachment investigation.
Such is rot from the head that even a Mike Pence presidency is preferable. I say that even anticipating that Pence will try to impose a fundamentalist, Bible-thumper version of Christianity on the nation, and that's a view from this columnist, a devout Catholic.
A President Pence might try to sand blast Thomas Jefferson's quotes about church-state separation from walls of the Jefferson Memorial.
It's less dangerous, however, than an ego-driven would-be dictator -- a "caudillo" -- trying to crumble our constitutional government.

She is a very influential employee at her work place, running the doctor's medical clinic a few days a week, assisting with minor medical procedures and accompanying the doctor on her rounds.
Shanice enjoyed her time at The Salter School while obtaining the proper medical assistant skills she needed for her career today.

Brett Kavanaugh sworn in as 114th Supreme Court Justice
WASHINGTON - Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice Saturday night after the bitterly polarized U.S. Senate narrowly confirmed him. The Senate vote delivered an election-season triumph to President Donald Trump that could swing the court rightward for a generation after a battle that rubbed raw the country's cultural, gender and political divides.
Kavanaugh was quickly sworn in at the court building, across the street from the Capitol, even as protesters chanted outside.
In a statement, the court says Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the Constitutional Oath and retired Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy will administer the Judicial Oath in a private ceremony at the Supreme Court. Both oaths will be administered so Kavanaugh can participate in the work of the court immediately.
A formal investiture ceremony will take place at a special sitting of the court at a later date.
The climactic 50-48 roll call capped a fight that seized the national conversation after claims emerged that he had sexually assaulted women three decades ago -- allegations he emphatically denied. Those accusations transformed the clash from a routine struggle over judicial ideology into an angry jumble of questions about victims' rights, the presumption of innocence and personal attacks on nominees.
His confirmation provides a defining accomplishment for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, which found a unifying force in the cause of putting a new conservative majority on the court.
Before the sexual accusations grabbed the Senate's and the nation's attention, Democrats had argued that Kavanaugh's rulings and writings as an appeals court judge had raised serious concerns about his views on abortion rights and a president's right to bat away legal probes.
Alaska's Lisa Murkowski, the only Republican to oppose the nominee, voted "present," offsetting the absence of Kavanaugh supporter Steve Daines of Montana, who was attending his daughter's wedding.
It was the closest roll call to confirm a justice since 1881, when Stanley Matthews was approved by 24-23, according to Senate records.
Murkowski said Friday that Kavanaugh was "a good man" but his "appearance of impropriety has become unavoidable." Republicans hold only a 51-49 Senate majority and therefore had little support to spare.
President Donald Trump's nomination of Kavanaugh came under intense scrutiny after multiple women came forward to accuse the 53-year-old judge of sexual assault or sexual misconduct.
The allegations led to Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee during an epic hearing. Ford's pained recounting of the alleged sexual assault she said happened while she and Kavanaugh were in high school and Kavanaugh's blistering denials gripped the nation as hours of testimony aired on national TV.
Kavanaugh acknowledged Thursday he "might have been too emotional" when testifying.
"Going forward, you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person I have been for my entire 28-year legal career: hardworking, even-keeled, open-minded, independent and dedicated to the Constitution and the public good," he wrote.
Sen. Jeff Flake, a retiring senator and frequent thorn in the side of Trump, achieved a delay long enough for an FBI to reopen its background investigation of the nominee. Republicans emerged confident that the FBI investigation into the allegations unearthed no new corroborating details.
The struggle over Kavanaugh's nomination reflected the stakes. At 53, he will likely serve on the court for decades. In the short term he will provide the decisive fifth vote for a conservative majority on the nine-member court.
His nomination was greeted by staunch protest in the District with thousands of anti-Kavanaugh protesters swarming Capitol Hill over the past week. On Thursday, nearly 300 protesters, including comedian and actress Amy Schumer, were detained by Capitol Police during a demonstration.
Political strategists in both parties suggest the GOP's enthusiastic embrace of Kavanaugh despite the allegations may have shifted the political landscape -- at least temporarily -- by injecting new energy into the most passionate Republican voters a month before the election. Trump's aggressive defense of Kavanaugh -- and more recent attacks against his female accuser -- have resonated particularly with white working-class men, who are a shrinking voting bloc nationally but remain a critical segment of Trump's political base.
For now, many men apparently agree with Trump's warning that the surge in women speaking out against sexual violence in the #MeToo era has created "a very scary time" for men in America.
"Democrats have been trying to destroy Judge Brett Kavanaugh since the very first second he was announced," Trump declared as he rallied voters in Minnesota on Thursday night. He added: "What they're putting him through and his family is incredible."
At a political rally in Mississippi Tuesday night, Trump mimicked Ford's responses during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week. The audience laughed as Trump, at times inaccurately, recounted what he described as holes in her testimony. The president's comments were greeted with instant backlash from both sides of the political aisle and on social media.

Biografia
Ricky Tamaca nasce il 21 marzo 1949 ad Andria, in provincia di Bari. Da giovane crea un'orchestra nel 1974 formata da alcuni suoi amici musicisti e lui avrà il ruolo di cantante, chitarrista. Con quest'orchestra inizia la sua carriera e si esibisce in vari paesi d'Italia e anche in  Svizzera al Noctambules di Montana Vermala interpretando tantissime canzoni di vari cantanti e cantautori conosciuti a quei tempi. Si ricorda in particolar modo (con quest'orchestra) l'interpretazione di Due di Drupi e Il giardino proibito di Sandro Giacobbe. Nel 1976 il gruppo raggiunge il fallimento e l'anno successivo Ricky Tamaca alla tarda età di quarant'anni, dopo tanti provini, esordisce come cantautore alla Baby Records, casa discografica grazie alla quale avrà anche modo di collaborare  come corista in vari concerti per artisti della stessa etichetta come ad esempio Paolo Barabani, Pupo, Stephen Schlaks, Harry Thumann, Ricchi e Poveri, Al Bano, Romina Power, Daniele Pace e tanti altri.

Quando l'allora Riccardo Tammaccaro va a Milano e entra nella casa discografica Baby Records, il fondatore Freddy Naggiar gli dona lo pseudonimo di Ricky Tamaca. Per il nome d'arte Ricky c'era anche un motivo che aveva spiegato l'allora Riccardo; era un grande appassionato di Ricky Nelson e allora decise stesso lui di indossare questo nome. Anche il cognome d'arte Tamaca (stavolta senza nessuna ispirazione) fu scelto liberamente dall'allora Riccardo. Allora il fondatore della Baby Records accettò e gli donò questo nome d'arte.

Era appunto l'anno 1977 quando Ricky Tamaca esordisce alla Baby Records e in seguito raccoglie tanti successi come Cinzia (1977), Io con lei non ci sto più (1977), Monica (1977), Sera di primavera (1981) e Amore scusami (2016). Quest'ultima canzone è la cover della celebre canzone di John Foster pubblicata nel 1964. Tra le varie canzoni di successo citate precedemente, Ricky Tamaca partecipa nel 1993 alla sedicesima edizione del Festival del Cantamare con la canzone Io con lei non ci sto più, scritta e composta da lui stesso insieme a Richard Osterreicher. Il primo 45 giri di Tamaca è Monica/Io con lei non ci sto più. Entrambe le tracce saranno racchiuse nel suo primo album intitolato Touch Me Baby, realizzato in Austria. Le sue canzoni vengono tradotte in numerose lingue e comincia a comparire spesso sugli schermi della televisione, maggiormente quella estera.

Nel 1979, Ricky Tamaca contatta Vince Tempera, Cristina Paltrinieri (che in seguito è diventata famosa per aver inciso le cover di ninne nanne e di brani popolari per bambini, ma anche di alcuni brani italiani, come Il cucù, Papaveri e papere, La cornacchia del Canadà, Casetta in Canadà, Il ballo del qua qua) e Bruno D'Andrea e realizza il gruppo musicale Gin & Tonic. Con questo gruppo esordisce alla casa discografica Durium e avranno un grande ascolto con la canzone George & Mildred, che diventa il loro più grande successo. Questa canzone sarà la colonna sonora dell'omonima serie televisiva britannica per l'anno 1979. Inoltre, sarà anche il lato A del singolo che vede sul lato B il brano Una casa, loro primo e unico 45 giri. Il gruppo si scioglie l'anno successivo dal fondamento.

Nel 1981 Ricky Tamaca collabora con Pinuccio Pirazzoli, il quale compone per lui Mercato, Canto por Jucar, Tunisia, Eccomi qui, Sera di primavera, Canterò di me, Vola, Con l'amore ti bruci e Cambierò radicalmente, pubblicate nello stesso anno. Sempre nello stesso anno, collabora anche con Pupo, il quale scrive per Tamaca le canzoni Il naittaro e Con l'amore ti bruci.

Nel 2008 pubblica il singolo dal titolo spagnolo Llueve il quale regala a Ricky Tamaca un discreto successo. Anche il testo e l'interpretazione della canzone è in spagnolo. Otto anni dopo, viene pubblicata la raccolta postuma Voglia di mare, che include la cover dell'omonimo singolo dei Romans, quattro canzoni di Tamaca pubblicate precedentemente e cover di altre canzoni di vari artisti.

People do not pay tithes because they are afraid.
Many people do not pay tithes because they are afraid of poverty. They fear: "Will I be able to go through the month. Will I survive if I pay my tithes? This is a common fear, but you must remember that fear is an evil spirit.
If you follow fear, you are following a demon. God has not given us the spirit of fear. Can you imagine where a demon will lead you? If you love God, you must cast out your fears and decide to obey Him.
A quick analysis will reveal that people do things even though they have deep fears within. People get married in spite of their many fears. There are many things that could go wrong in a marriage! There could be unfaithfulness! There could be divorce! There could childlessness! There could be tragedy! There could be poverty! There could be death! In spite of these fears, people continue to marry and do what they really want to do.
Why then are you unable to overcome your fears and pay your tithes? It is time to walk by faith and pay tithes. A person who does not pay tithes is living by the spirit of fear.
"God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid but a spirit of power and love and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7, New Century Version).


I was planning a trip to Colorado about the same time I received an email from bride-to-be Vanessa. JP and Vanessa, now married, met and live in Colorado. Coincidence? Vanessa is from Nashville and they would be getting married at the Historic Stone Hall. It's a beautiful venue; especially for intimate weddings. Vanessa conveyed that their wedding would be small with only their dearest family and friends surrounding them. I loved the sound of everything they had planned and that she wanted a journalistic feel to the day. That's truly my favorite way to capture weddings.
My favorite part during the wedding may have been when Vanessa said 'vows' to JP's young daughter, Paley. After the wedding, guests were treated to one of the best hot chicken venues Nashville has to offer, Hattie B's. In fact, JP got so excited when Hattie B's arrived that he asked me to stop their portraits to take a photo of the Hattie B's airstream pulling up. =) That's dedication to a favorite restaurant. The celebration only got better when The John Tomlin & Company Band started playing. They were AH-MAH-ZING! If you love or even like Bluegrass then you gotta hear them! My favorite part of the night was when Vanessa laid old quilts on the ground for guests to sit on. The quilts were sewn by her grandmother. As a quilt maker (ok I've only made two) and lover of quilts, this made my heart swoon. I wish them a lifetime of happiness!


During the E3 2016 hands-off preview for Gears of War 4, there was a moment where a small Wretch-like enemy jumped into a pit in the ground reminiscent of an emergence hole. Shortly afterwards, JD, Del, and Cait were up against a completely different kind of enemy. The pit had upgraded the enemy to a more intelligent and more lethal creature. The enemy sought cover, and navigated around the environment in a more intelligent way than its former self.
We're yet to see whether these pits, or "nests" as JD described them as in the demo, will be usable by a number of different enemies. Regardless of the answer, the introduction of this new features means you can never be sure that a battle will be as simple as it first seems.

JivoChat is a great Looking alternative that does its own job. For businesses who're looking for a basic live chat option, it truly will come for a reasonable price.


INU- The Iranian regime has an 'extensive intelligence and terrorist network' in Latin America that poses a grave threat to America's national security, a leading US congresswoman has declared.
Florida representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chair of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee, also blamed President Barack Obama for failing to hold oppressive regimes to account for human rights violations, constitutional violations, and a breakdown of the rule of law in the region.
And she accused the ALBA nations of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Bolivia and Argentina of undermining US policy for the region by embracing the Iranian regime.
She said in a statement to the subcommittee: "I came into Congress in 1989 and was here nineteen years ago when the AMIA attack occurred in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1994.
"Fast forward to today and the Iranian presence in Latin America is on the rise and poses a greater threat to our national security.
"Two months ago the Special Prosecutor for AMIA, Alberto Nisman, released a 500 page report citing extensive evidence of Iran's intelligence and terrorist network alive and well in various Latin American nations.
"This report reaffirmed that Iran continues to use its diplomatic and cultural centers as a facade to infiltrate the region."
She said the problem should also be viewed through the 'prism of the Obama administration's failed policies in Latin America'.
She added: "Time and again we have seen the Obama administration fail to hold oppressive regimes accountable for the human rights violations, constitutional violations, and a breakdown of rule of law in the region.
"The ALBA nations of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Bolivia, and to a certain extent now sadly Argentina, continue to undermine U.S. efforts in the region and it is not surprising that those same countries have opened their arms to embrace the Iranian regime."
She quoted the US Ambassador to the United nations John Bolton as saying this week: "The largest Iranian diplomatic facility in the world is in Caracas, Venezuela, because they are laundering their money through the Venezuelan banks."
Ms Ros-Lehtinen said: "In order for the Obama administration to get serious about this issue, it cannot ignore the close ties between Venezuela and Iran.
"But it has become abundantly clear that the Administration continues to put politics over national security.
"To admit that there is a problem in the Hemisphere regarding Iran, the Administration would first have to put the blame on the Venezuelan regime - the same regime that it continues to attempt to normalize relations with."


yea that shrink was thanks to me BOY, even have it on live stream when i designed it too.
seriously, don't come here derailing this thread.
dont come here releasing stuff that aint yours and not giving credits.
I'll let the mods deal with you; I do not have time for your presence.
Yes, let the mods deal. I'm a little confused by the Twitch video; resinate, you are saying you designed this code, yes?
Incinerator, did you design this yourself, or did you copy code that someone else made and fail to credit them?
To apply this to not only the PartyDetailPanel, but also the relative CommandPanel, Good/Bad Status Panels and the Ability and Item Panels.
I also had to use my own code to fix the cursor position as initially shrinking it made the cursor pointer off in the X-axis.
Also, this code works only for those who do not use Memoria. This thread is compatible for mods like Tirilititi's Alternate Fantasy, my mod, and HD backgrounds by Fraggoso.
It's also for the vanilla game without use of Memoria.
In resinate's Memoria code is strictly use for Memoria; is a compeltely different code ina different method and it only edits the PartyDetailPanel, nothing else. It is different from the code I used above.
Also, you hear resinate state that he, himself ripped his code he uses with Memoria from someone else. Such contradiction.
that second part of his code was based on mine. and used it to apply it all other menus. 1st part is his, but the vector scaling was mine, it was mine cuz i tweaked the code that alrdy existed. old code would rescale menu repeatly mine does not.
but its fine tho, i made several more fixes that no one has been able to fix so far, and i do live stream it every night.
May he leave the thread and end the derail.
I'm certainly not here to play 'point the finger/tag you did it; no you did'.
why do u refuse to mention my name anywhere on credits? thats what we all wanna know. u clearly admitted to stealing the base code from my stream??
1. You are both working from an original, already-existing game and its original, already-existing codebase.
2. I only see a single line of code in common between what Incinerator posted and what's visible in resinate's twitch stream.
3. From what I can tell, this is the only way to achieve UI scaling that works correctly while dealing with aforementioned already-existing codebase.
4. Any coder to successfully accomplish the same thing without seeing this stream would still end up with the same code.
It doesn't seem reasonable to me to claim code theft when there's literally no other way to do it within the framework provided by the game's existing code.
THAT BEING SAID, Incinerator, you really should include a readme with your download, that includes things like installation instructions and changelog and, yes, credits. While I don't think this constitutes code theft by any reasonable definition, a single line in a readme that says "thanks to resinate for helping to find how to do this" would be the decent thing to do, since it is overwhelmingly clear that he DID help you find it.
But seriously, you're both being extraordinarily petty. Stop it.
I'm not being petty, fact I'm done with this bull crap, modding everything. I've done what I've what done with game in modding; I'm done now.
I don't give a damn if you don't want to help; I'm done. This is just extra now; go on about your life, or sit here and cry about it throughout; I don't care, I'm done.

Crashing for a Cause
Dominic Rave-Olsen
Dominic Rave-Olsen honors classmate with a championship demo car he built and raced himself with the help of friends and family.
Aleah Heims, Editor
A demo car that would normally take six months to build only took a week.
Dominic Rave-Olsen built a demo car in honor of freshman Carson Crane, who recently passed away on Oct. 15.
"So many people wanted to help," Rave-Olsen said. "I wouldn't have been able to have had this car built in time if it wasn't for everyone helping and donating supplies and money."
"I had this car for a while, and demo cars are painted so we ended up painting this car blue because that was one of Carson's favorite colors," Rave-Olsen said. "I had my mom print off stickers that said #CarsonStrong on it, and then we put them on the side of the car. We also had people who wanted to sponsor the car and donate stuff towards it, so we put all the sponsors on the roof."
It was just me trying to give back to them because I was pretty close with Carson and their family. It was just one of my ways of doing something for him that he would have had fun doing."
— Dominic Rave-Olsen
Rave-Olsen brought home first place after competing in the Decorah demo derby on Oct. 24 where he competed against 21 others in his heat.
Rave-Olsen opened it up to the community and decided to have people sign the hood of the car. He donated the hood of the car and the money he raised to the Crane family.
Rave-Olsen raised over $2,100 in total from donations and sponsorships, with $800 coming from his win.
"It doesn't really make me feel special," Rave-Olsen said. "It was just me trying to give back to them because I was pretty close with Carson and their family. It was just one of my ways of doing something for him that he would have had fun doing."

On Saturday, Duke Power mentioned heavy rains brought about a slope to cave in at a coal ash landfill at a closed energy station out of doors the ancient port town of Wilmington. Duke spokeswoman Paige Sheehan mentioned about 2,000 cubic yards of ash had been displaced on the Sutton Plant and infected hurricane water most probably flowed into the cooling pond.
Sutton used to be mothballed in 2013. The ash left in the back of when coal is burned comprises poisonous heavy metals, together with lead and arsenic.
After blowing ashore as a typhoon with 90mph winds, Florence parked over the Carolinas and hurricane surges, flash floods and winds scattered destruction broadly. Marines, the coast guard, civilian crews and volunteers used helicopters, boats and heavy-duty automobiles to habits rescues.
Florence weakened to a tropical melancholy early on Sunday and used to be crawling west at 8mph. At 5am, the hurricane used to be about 20 miles south-west of Columbia, South Carolina. Winds had been right down to 35mph. However in North Carolina, rivers had been swelling in opposition to checklist ranges and 1000's had been ordered to evacuate. The evacuation zone incorporated a part of town of Fayetteville.
Forecasts mentioned rivers would crest on Sunday and Monday at checklist or near-record ranges: the Little River, the Cape Concern, the Lumber, the Neuse, the Waccamaw and the Pee Dee had been all projected to burst their banks.
The Lumber is regarded as flooded at 13feet. The Nationwide Climate Provider predicted on Saturday that it might crest at 24.9ft on Sunday afternoon. A lot of the south of town used to be already below water on Saturday, as emergency crews battled to include the river.
Turner Park, a trailer park, used to be below 2ft on Saturday night with the water emerging briefly. At 5pm the Mum or dad watched as water crept in opposition to Martin Luther King Jr Pressure. Citizens were instructed to evacuate the park, the place rankings of 40feet x 12feet trailers stand on low-lying land.

Matthew 5:14 is the fourteenth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. It is part of the Sermon on the Mount, and is one of a series of metaphors immediately following the Beatitudes.

Content
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
Ye are the light of the world. A city
that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

The World English Bible translates the passage as:
You are the light of the world. A city
located on a hill can't be hidden.

The Novum Testamentum Graece text is:
Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου
οὐ δύναται πόλις κρυβῆναι ἐπάνω ὄρους κειμένη

For a collection of other versions see BibleHub Matthew 5:14.

Analysis
This verse has a fairly sudden shift of metaphor from "salt of the earth" to "city on a hill". It may be related to the expression "salt and light", which was then used to describe the Law. This verse is unparalleled elsewhere in the New Testament, but a version of it is found in the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas. In Thomas the focus of the verse is on the city's security and impregnability rather than its symbolism. Gundry notes that at this time cities would frequently have been located on hills for defensive reasons. Schweizer notes that this might be a reference to Mount Zion at the start of Isaiah 2. Scholars are divided on whether this is a specific reference to the idea of a New Jerusalem. Albright and Mann note that Cicero described Rome as light to the world, but that it is unlikely that this verse borrows from him. See also Isaiah , , 60:3.

This scripture was cited at the end of John Winthrop's lecture or treatise, A Model of Christian Charity; it served as a warning to his fellow Puritan settlers of Boston in 1630 that God and their enemies would be watching, if they failed to uphold their covenant: "we shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us." President Ronald Reagan frequently invoked Winthrop's words as the very birth of America's destiny as the exceptional nation of the world, misquoting Winthrop.

Along with Matthew 5:13, this verse became the theme of World Youth Day 2002: "You are the salt of the earth ... you are the light of the world"..

Commentary from the Church Fathers
Hilary of Poitiers: It is the nature of a light to emit its rays whithersoever it is carried about, and when brought into a house to dispel the darkness of that house. Thus the world, placed beyond the pale of the knowledge of God, was held in the darkness of ignorance, till the light of knowledge was brought to it by the Apostles, and thenceforward the knowledge of God shone bright, and from their small bodies, whithersoever they went about, light is ministered to the darkness.

Saint Remigius: For as the sun sends forth his beams, so the Lord, the Sun of righteousness, sent forth his Apostles to dispel the night of the human race.

Chrysostom: Mark how great His promise to them, men who were scarce known in their own country that the fame of them should reach to the ends of the earth. The persecutions which He had foretold, were not able to dim their light, yea they made it but more conspicuous.

Jerome: He instructs them what should be the boldness of their preaching, that as Apostles they should not be hidden through fear, like lamps under a corn-measure, but should stand forth with all confidence, and what they have heard in the secret chambers, that declare upon the house tops.

Chrysostom: Thus showing them that they ought to be careful of their own walk and conversation, seeing they were set in the eyes of all, like a city on a hill, or a lamp on a stand.

Pseudo-Chrysostom: This city is the Church of which it is said, Glorious things are spoken of thee, thou city of God. (Ps. 87:3.) Its citizens are all the faithful, of whom the Apostle speaks, Ye are fellow-citizens of the saints. (Eph. 2:19.) It is built upon Christ the hill, of whom Daniel thus, A stone hewed without hands (Dan. 2:34.) became a great mountain.

Augustine:  Or, the mountain is the great righteousness, which is signified by the mountain from which the Lord is now teaching.

Pseudo-Chrysostom: A city set on a hill cannot be hidden though it would; the mountain which bears makes it to be seen of all men; so the Apostles and Priests who are founded on Christ cannot be hidden even though they would, because Christ makes them manifest.

Hilary of Poitiers: Or, the city signifies the flesh which He had taken on Him; because that in Him by this assumption of human nature, there was as it were a collection of the human race, and we by partaking in His flesh become inhabitants of that city. He cannot therefore be hid, because being set in the height of God's power, He is offered to be contemplated of all men in admiration of his works.

Pseudo-Chrysostom: How Christ manifests His saints, suffering them not to be hid, He shows by another comparison, adding, Neither do men light a lamp to put it under a corn-measure, but on a stand.

Chrysostom: Or, in the illustration of the city, He signified His own power, by the lamp He exhorts the Apostles to preach with boldness; as though He said, 'I indeed have lighted the lamp, but that it continue to burn will be your care, not for your own sakes only, but both for others who shall receive its light and for God's glory.'

Overview of the study program
Home Learning Overview of the study program
In the following you will find selected examples which reflect the character of the study program for volunteers. Altogether it includes about 180 events per year.
I. Learning from Jews: In responsibility for the past
Kristallnacht Commemoration (preparation and realization)
Holocaust study days in Museum Lochamei HaGetaot and its Center for Humanistic Education
Participation in a Yom HaShoah Commemoration
Encounter with Shoah Survivors of the first and second generation
Study day in Yad VaShem
The Holocaust study day
The creation of a fresh start in the relations between Jews and Christians – as well as between Israelis and Europeans – was one of the first aims of the founders of Nes Ammim. Only 2 km from Nes Ammim is kibbutz Lochamei HaGetaot. The survivors who had fought against German soldiers in the Warsaw ghetto founded it and established the world's first Holocaust museum. There the volunteers get new access to history. The educational concept avoids too much theoretical reviewing of historical material, but prefers to tell personal stories. Face-to-face meetings with Holocaust survivors and other contemporary witnesses are one important element. In the Center for Humanistic Education participants have the unique opportunity to learn about the contemporary reception of the Holocaust and its importance for the local dialogue of Jewish and Arab Israelis.
II. Learning from Jews: Jewish religion and culture
Introduction to a synagogue service including visit of a reform synagogue at Kabbalat Shabbat
Erev Shabbat Ceremony
Beit Midrash Weekends (study of the Torah and Talmud)
Encounter with members of different Jewish groups
Kibbutz life
Folk dance class and visiting public dance events
Learning by experiencing Jewish feasts
Lectures on Israeli Culture
Avner Shai, a son of Holocaust survivors and a reserve officer in the Israeli army, is an authentic and competent lecturer. When he speaks about the Israeli army, he brings with him a soldier and a mother who lost her son on the battlefield. He speaks also about the connection between the Hebrew language and Hebrew culture, about Jewish immigration, the modern Reform Judaism, about the period between the Second World War and the establishment of Israel. Once a year Avner takes the volunteers to Tel Aviv and shows them his birth city in his own inimitable way.
III. Israel – experience in the country
Excursions to places of interest in the Galilee (Jewish, Arabic, Muslim, Christian, Druze, general)
Negev seminar
Day trips to Tel Aviv, Nazareth, Lake Kinneret, Golan Heights, Haifa
Lectures, for example about young Palestinian Arabs with Israeli citizenship, the experience of Aliya (immigration to Israel), the connection between language, culture and conflict
Hiking tours in the Galilee
Visiting Archeological Sites (such as Meggido, Beit Shean or Caesarea)
Picking apples in the Golan heights with a Syrian Arab Druze family and learn about their daily life
The Negev seminar
For three days, the volunteers go to the Negev desert. They sleep under the open sky, walk in dry riverbeds and through weird rock formations, they cook and eat together outdoor under the stars. The Negev is for most of the volunteers their first contact with the ancient wild culture of the Nabataeans and also with the contemporary Bedouins' culture. During these three days, the Nes Ammim volunteers get to know both themselves and the desert better. Besides all these new, adventurous impressions, those three days benefit the social cooperation.
Impressions of the Negev seminar, taken by Ralf Braun, Melanie Müller and Matthias Holtmann of the German TV channel SWR:
IV. Engagement: Palestinian and European Christian Dialogue
Encounter with Christians of different churches (Baptists, Greek-Orthodox, Greek-Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran)
Visiting Nazareth Bible College and Israeli Arab Bible Society
Lectures (e.g. about Palestinian Christians, Theology of Land, the "Kairos" document)
Attending local church services (especially at Christmas and Easter)
Day trip to Palm Sunday Procession in Jerusalem
Palestinian-European Conferences
Ecumenical or Christian-Jewish Conferences
We join ecumenical or Christian-Jewish conferences in Jerusalem or Bethlehem and we host these conferences in Nes Ammim. The ecumenical dialogue between Palestinian and European Christians shows their different context. The connotations of the word "Israel" in the bible for example are different in Palestine and in Europe. Learning from Jews as victims is easier than as perpetrators. A special challenge is the "trialogue" between Jews, Palestinian and European Christians. Sometimes the participants are surprised by the unexpected agreements (even regarding the political situation).
V. Engagement: Interfaith Dialogue
Visiting a mosque with explanations
Lectures about amongst others Jesus in the Islam, religion and politics in Islam, Ramadan
Druze religion and tradition
Excursion to the Bahai Gardens, Introduction in Bahai religion
Jerusalem Seminar
The Jerusalem seminar
Under the motto "Town of Three Religions and Two People" this seminar discloses the Jewish, Muslim and Christian world in a city which has been sought after and hotly contested for hundreds of years. The participants face a Jerusalem that presents itself as an alluring and confusing city, crowded by people, religions, cultures and with a long, long history. The volunteers get the opportunity to look into the religions' "backyards". These three seminar days in Jerusalem open the eyes to the beauties – and complexity of – the Palestinian Eastern and the Israeli Western side of this town.
VI. Engagement: Political Dialogue
Introduction into the middle east conflict, specially the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (lectures)
Visiting destroyed Palestinian villages
Visiting memorials for Jewish victims
commemoration for Israeli soldiers (including two former Nes Ammim volunteers)
Participation in a Palestinian-Israeli Nakba/Yom HaAtzmaut Commemoration
The role of the army in the Israeli society (lecture and discussion with young soldiers)
West Bank seminar
Day trips to the West Bank with several Israeli groups (Rabbis for Human Rights, MachsomWatch, Combatants for Peace, Breaking the Silence)
Tour along the Separation/Security Fence with Givat Haviva
The West Bank seminar
During the West Bank seminar the volunteers get the opportunity to stay overnight in Palestinian (Muslim and Christian) families. While traveling they see how the local population experiences the separation fence and the checkpoints. Talks with students and volunteers, with Palestinian refugees, with Jewish settlers, with a mayor, a farmer and a diplomat of one of the Representative Offices in Ramallah give various impressions of life and of the political situation in the West Bank.
Experience different feasts

Study visit for theologians

We can have nothing but praise for the fortitude of our PM in sticking to her guns in developing and now seeking to sell her Withdrawal Agreement for permission to leave the EU, taking us into a transition period of some 21 or 24 months, prior to an actual departure with a trade deal as yet to be planned de novo. This will cost us a minimum of £39billion and see our trade controlled by the EU, according to Sabine Weyand's definitive interpretation.
Our cabinet not surprisingly has split over the proposal, in particular the danger of the nation being stuck in an EU customs union with no infallible means of avoiding an EU veto on leaving it. Some have in good conscience not been able to take this risk, including the person who helped design it up to its final stages, and have had to resign. Some have remained in the cabinet seeking to amend the deal. Others are entirely happy with the deal and view the risk to sovereignty as secondary.
The PM has taken 'personal responsibility' for the plan. She remains intransigent that it cannot be altered nor replaced. It is 'her Brexit' or No Brexit. Other options have been frozen out by the government's refusal, from the start, to make WTO trading preparations. Northern Ireland is to be put under EU regulation as if in parallel to the Rhineland in the 1919 Versailles Treaty imposed on Germany.
It is hardly surprising that many outside the cabinet are shocked with the whole turn of policy since Chequers.
How well she expressed then what so many are now saying to her and to her cabinet about 'her' plan.
As was well said in the House, no one questions the honour and integrity of the PM, and all party members have stood up for her, even when seeking to persuade her to go back to her initially declared policies as found in her Lancaster House statement with its red lines.
Now, however, many have realised that the PM is totally set on her plan, lashed to its mast, and will not change an iota of it. She has identified herself with it almost with the zeal of a religious convert, and without presenting the reasoning for her conversion to Chequers from the expected Canada plus type of free trade deal offered by the EU early on.
Her absolutist attitude has forced loyal dissenters very reluctantly to draw the conclusion that as long as she remains PM, her plan is inviolable.
At present the document signed by the PM on 8 December 2017 is not yet legally binding: we still have the ability to rescind that unilateral commitment to pay £39billion and to reject the EU's artificial creation of the Irish border puzzle. As soon as we sign the PM's 'deal' to leave and enter a transition period of being under the EU with no say, we lose this golden opportunity.
It is also now evident that the EU will press for more concessions, and yield none. In particular it wants a de facto annexation of the fisheries which were given away by Mr Heath on our accession, confirmed by Maastricht. Their return to full UK control was a major reason for the Brexit result and it is vital to the welfare of Scotland and the Union.
Unfortunately however the PM persists with her sincere and oft-repeated view that her commitments are in the national interest. Alas she has used coercive methods with her cabinet, at Chequers with remarkable threats in particular, and has been drawn in to EU-style management techniques of the executive, making decisions then bouncing colleagues into approving them with no time to read the proposals and make informed judgements. Consider the number of times she has resiled from assurances, for example the above case of her rejection of the customs union, as well her fifty statements assuring the nation that her Lancaster House statement was to be implemented.
She broke her promises on calling an election and not triggering Article 50 until the UK had an agreed strategy – two decisions that the history books will not look upon kindly. She promised to put Dexeu in charge of the negotiation and make sure a Brexiteer was doing Brexit – that did not happen. Labour no doubt will take this record of broken promises and maximise it in the eyes of the electorate to devastating effect.
The PM's own words above describe the unacceptability of what became 'her plan', toxic to Leave and to Remain. Her failure to listen to colleagues with well-worked-out alternative plans for the UK and EU trading arrangements is very hard to explain. It seems to go beyond the well-documented influence of the civil servants in whose hands – having little discernible knowledge, judgement or confidence of her own – she has been ever since taking office, who are reportedly uniformly opposed to Brexit. Is she, as some commenters suspect, being influenced by powerful interests such as Soros, the CBI, IMF and globalisation agencies, keen to scupper Brexit through the PM's plan which is deeply unattractive to all sides? To keep the PM in post means more of the same inflexibility and lack of collegiality, more bullying and decisions made in advance with Sabine Weyand before being shown to elected politicians, as with the Chequers plan which Ms Weyand informed the government the day before the Chequers meeting was not acceptable to the EU. The cabinet was kept in the dark about this damning verdict, as was the House of Commons.
Since when was democratic governance to be bargained away by UK MPs? This is happening, as long as the PM is in place, and means that public trust in our very democratic system, is even now being eroded. You are the trustees of UK democracy.
The legacy of keeping the plan and PM wobbling onwards will be acrimony for decades. It is seen as a coup against the Brexit vote by 'the establishment'. This will widen divisions in our society, not heal them. 'Her plan' has to be rejected and this can happen, at her insistence, only by her resignation. You must vote to seize our golden opportunity.

Q: Embed javascript as base64 I'm working on a small GreaseMonkey script where I would like to embed a jQuery plugin (Markitup) so that the script is fully self contained (images + js) except for jQuery which is served from google.
I found the site http://www.greywyvern.com/code/php/binary2base64 which says that you can embed javascript with the href if you base64 encode the script, much like serving images as basse64 from CSS.
<script type="text/javascript" href="data:text/javascript;base64,dmFyIHNjT2JqMSA9IG5ldyBzY3Jv..."></script>

So i tried that but couldn't get it to work at all, using Firefox 3.0.5 on OS X.
I put together a small test page to isolate the problem but couldn't get it to work at that page either.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>Title</title>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
   </head>
   <body>
      <script href="data:text/javascript;base64,YWxlcnQoJ2FzYWRhc2QnKTsK"></script>
      <script>alert('a');</script>
   </body>
</html>

The base64 string (YWxlcnQoJ2FzYWRhc2QnKTsK) says alert('asadasd'); so I'm supposed to get two alerts but the only one I see is the second one where the alert is located as text inside the script tag.
Am I doing something wrong or why isn't this working, any ideas?

A: If you'd check script tag syntax you'd get
<script src="..."
        ^^^
        src NOT href

Using data URIs here doesn't work in IE 6 btw.

A: maybe just a thought but maybe the "href" should be "src" instead.

A: That's funny, I am working on precisely the same problem: making a Greasemonkey script to add markItUp to all textareas of a page.
Now, I don't have an issue with the library script itself. I don't see why you want to insert it as Base64, anyway. As pointed out, it will be larger.
You can put it directly in the GM script if you want (some people do that with jQuery), or add dynamically a <script src="someURL"></script> to the document and wait for loading (there are numerous examples of that on the Net)(inconvenience: creates a traffic on the sites holding the files), or, like I am currently trying, using the latest (0.8) feature of GM:
// @require      jquery.js
// @require      markitup.js
// @resource     miuStyle style.css

The required JS files are automatically loaded into the GM script from a local copy, which is fast and always available. Don't use the packed versions, they don't work here. I also had issues with set.js so I just put in directly in the script.
It works well, but I don't have style nor icons yet.
I must put the miuStyle text in the Web page, I think, and change it so all background images refer to the same image hosted on Photobucket or similar, with offset. I haven't found a way to use local images (in CSS), alas, even with @resource.
My response doesn't address your problem, alas (but John's remark seems valid), but it might put you to another, simpler solution.

A: Base-64 makes the file larger, but it makes it more machine readable so it actually increases pagespeed.  I can definitely see why you'd want this, unless you want to look at 50 lines of gibberish in your file.  FYI, I just read a study that base 64 actually loads slower on mobile so if your app is heavy mobile I'd stay away

Author: Anne Rice
Publisher: Ballantine Books
The Vampire Chronicles continue with Anne Rice's spellbinding new novel, in which the great vampire Marius returns. The golden-haired Marius, true Child of the Millennia, once mentor to The Vampire Lestat, always and forever the conscientious foe of the Evil Doer, reveals in his own intense yet inti- mate voice the secrets of his two-thousand-year existence. Once a proud Senator in Imperial Rome, kidnapped and made a "blood god" by the Druids, Marius becomes the embittered protector of Akasha and Enkil, Queen and King of the vampires, in whom the core of the supernatural race resides. We follow him through his heartbreaking abandonment of the vampire Pandora. Through him we see the fall of pagan Rome to the Emperor Constantine and the horrific sack of the Eternal City itself at the hands of the Visigoths. Bravely, Marius seeks a new civilization in the midst of glittering Constantinople, only to meet with the blood drinker Eudoxia. We see him ultimately returning to his beloved Italy, where after the horrors of the Black Death, he is restored by the beauty of the Renaissance. We see him become a painter living dangerously yet happily among mortals, giving his heart to the great Botticelli, to the bewitching courtesan Bianca, and to the mysterious young apprentice Armand. Moving from Rome to Florence, Venice, and Dresden, and to the English castle of the secret scholarly order of the Talamasca, the novel reaches its dramatic finale in our own time, deep in the jungle where Marius, having told his life story, seeks some measure of justice from the oldest vampires in the world.

Between Blood and Gold
Author: Frédérique Beauvois
Publisher: Berghahn Books
Today, a century and a half after the abolition of slavery across most of the Americas, the idea of monetary reparations for former slaves and their descendants continues to be a controversial one. Lost among these debates, however, is the fact that such payments were widespread in the nineteenth century—except the "victims" were not slaves, but the slaveholders deprived of their labor. This landmark comparative study analyzes the debates over compensation within France and Great Britain. It lays out in unprecedented detail the philosophical, legal-political, and economic factors at play, establishing a powerful new model for understanding the aftermath of slavery in the Americas.

But the Apaches are the least of his concerns once word of the money reaches the ears of every desperado in the Southwest.

Bitcoin breaks the $ 22,000 barrier for the first time in its history
By Bill
Bitcoin hit a historic level on Thursday, after its price exceeded $ 22,000.
The price of Bitcoin, Thursday evening, reached $ 22,000, surpassing the previous historic level, which was recorded at the end of 2017, at $ 19.8,000.
Analytics company "Chanalesis" said that the number of "bitcoin" currencies available to new investors began to decline early this year, and estimated that there are about 3.4 million currencies available from them, adding that a group of large investors, major companies and financial institutions are turning to invest in them.
According to the Coin Telegraph site, the Grayscale digital currency investment fund, which represents about 12 high-profile investment institutions, owns more than 500,000 unit, half of which have bought in the past six months only.
It is noteworthy that the number of Bitcoins offered for circulation in the market amounts to 18.5 million units, out of 18.5 million units allowed to be offered for trading.
it is a university network that provides a completely new payment system and electronic money. Bitcoin is the first peer-to-peer decentralized payment network that is fully managed by its users without any central authority or intermediaries. From a user's point of view, Bitcoin can be likened to a large extent to the internet's fiat currency.
It uses peer-to-peer technology to operate without central authorities or banks. Transaction management and issuance of bitcoins are generally done through the network.
it is open source; Its design is open to the public, nobody owns or manages the Bitcoin network and anyone can participate. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system.
