For most of us, trading commodities can be stressful. With cryptocurrencies, this is may be an understatement. Daily movements exceeding one percent is the norm in the cryptocurrency world. While trading is not for everyone, mining is another way to invest your resources in obtaining scarce digital assets such as Ether, Monero, and Zcash.
If your computer or laptop has a graphics processing unit, you will be able to run a program that will mine cryptocurrency. If you have a Windows machine with an AMD or Nvidia graphics cards, you can easily begin your venture into the world of cryptocurrency mining.
With your computer's graphics cards and some electricity, you can stock up on popular altcoins such as Ether, Monero, and Zcash using Claymore's miner. It is an altcoin mining program which you download and install onto your computer. Mining is the process of verifying transaction on the networks, utilizing processing power in computers to solve mathematical problems.
When you are not using your computer, you can run the mining program. Your graphic card's processing power will be directed toward the blockchain network to engage in the puzzle-solving process known as mining, verifying and confirming transactions. By running the program, you are essentially converting your computing power and electricity into a scare digital asset, cryptocurrency.
Download and put into documents folders, then unzip it.
Once you have the mining program ready to get started, you'll need a wallet for ETH and will need to choose a pool to mine with. A good one to start with is EtherMine.
You can use an exchange as your either address if you want to convert to other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin or you can use Ether wallets such as Jaxx or the native wallet. After the first day or two of mining, you should receive a payout.
Enter that address as your mining pool address in the Claymore program. The particular place to input the address is in the config.txt file.
There is also a custom built mining program for Monero, an up and coming cryptocurrency with a focus on privacy. Monero's Official GUI will provide you with a wallet address to send your Monero to. The recommended mining pool is Monerohash. The only difference with monero is that you require not just a wallet address but also a payment id.
As stated in our article "Experts Reveal Bitcoin and Blockchain Predictions for 2017," we think there is a good chance that privacy-focused coins will be driven higher relative to other cryptocurrencies in 2017. So with your computer's graphics card, you can mine not just Monero but also Zcash, another cryptocurrency providing enhanced anonymity features.
To get started with Zcash mining, you can download Claymore's miner, and Flypool is recommended as a pool to join.
No usernames or passwords are required for any of the altcoin mining pools, only your wallet address (and payment id in the case of Monero).
You could also go one step further by using a gaming PC that will have more graphics card's, more power and hence a greater ability to earn cryptocurrency. With your gaming PC, you could either use Claymore's mining programs or use a service such as NiceHash, rent your hashing power, allowing you to lease your power for others to mine altcoins while you get paid in bitcoin. The advantage with Nicehash is that your GPU power is optimized to the most profitable cryptocurrencies to mine.
Another mining program that is capable of converting electricity into Ether, Monero, and Zcash is SGMiner-GM, a project started by Genesis mining. The latest version 5.5.5 is very competitive for Monero mining regarding power consumption.
If you found the process of mining intriguing and want to take another step, get ready to get your hands dirty. After playing around with mining on a laptop with GPU's, the next phase is to build a mining rig composed of multiple GPU's.
While building your own rig can be daunting and expensive, it is a solid long-term investment where for around one year you will recoup your initial layout.
After the first year or so, everything is profit, converting your electricity and computing power into cryptocurrency, along with the added benefit that mining will help to secure the blockchain network you are participating in.

During the past ten years, some CPA firms have advised clients that a corporation selling assets can avoid Federal income taxes at both the corporate and shareholder level by taking the position that the goodwill of the business is not being sold by the corporation, but rather by the individual shareholders of the corporation. This position was based on the Tax Court's opinion in Martin Ice Cream Co. v. Commissioner , 110 T.C. 189 (1998).
As a general matter, I do not think this tax advice is sound because it fails to recognize the unusual facts in the Martin Ice Cream case. Yesterday, the Tax Court issued an opinion in which it rejected the taxpayer's position that individual shareholders of a corporation had sold the business' goodwill and customer list. See Solomon v. Commissioner , T.C. Memo. 2008-102. The Solomon case may be the first of many cases brought by the Service challenging taxpayers' interpretation of Martin Ice Cream .

LAWRENCE — A 22-year-old man was found shot to death behind a dumpster at an apartment complex in Lawrence early Wednesday morning.
Lawrence Police responded to a report of shots fired near Canterbury Apartments in the 4700 block of N. Franklin Road around 2:30 a.m.
When they arrived, police found a man suffering from a single gunshot wound behind a dumpster at the apartment complex and pronounced dead at the scene. Police have identified the victim as Aaron Grice, 22.
Police are still investigating the shooting and do not have any suspects at this time.
This is the second deadly shooting at the Canterbury Apartments in Lawrence this year. Back in June, Dalon Wilson-McIntosh, 23, and Adonai Spinks, 19, were killed in a double shooting at the complex. No arrests were ever made in that shooting but police are still searching for suspects.
Gary Woodruff with the Lawrence Police Department says they have worked seven homicide cases so far in 2018, including one where a 16-year-old was found shot to death inside her apartment.
Woodruff says the city typically sees between two and four homicides each year.
"There's no common thread between any of them, they all stand alone as their own individual investigations," Woodruff said.
Anyone with information on Wednesday's shooting or any other crime should call the Lawrence Police Department or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.

The unique patchwork design of this modern metal dining table from Holland is well suited to a contemporary interior. Set upon straight metal clad legs in a geometric pattern the table has a visually sculptural strength. Made by hand with a process to create the patina on the metal each individual piece is laid in an interesting pattern to create an overall effect. The table top is smooth for plates and glasses and other dining needs but becomes remarkably alive without anything on the top. Easily seats eight and even ten when they are good friends!

Spy Babe Makes Triumphant Return to Social Media
Adam Rawnsley
When she was a spy hiding in the U.S., Anna Chapman used social media to help her hide undercover. Now, back in her home country, she's using it to help coordinate her growing personal and commercial empire. When last we left her, America's favorite deportee and sleeper agent was gearing up to join Kremlin boss-for-life […]
When she was a spy hiding in the U.S., Anna Chapman used social media to help her hide undercover. Now, back in her home country, she's using it to help coordinate her growing personal and commercial empire.
When last we left her, America's favorite deportee and sleeper agent was gearing up to join Kremlin boss-for-life Vladimir Putin and represent his United Russia party in the Russian parliament. She's just launched a new website (www.annachapman.ru) and come back to Twitter (@ChapmanAnna) and Facebook.
In her welcome message, she sticks to the kind safe, airy platitudes she uses in political appearances.
"Before returning to Moscow in July 2010, I aspired to personal harmony and was more concerned with my own happiness," Chapman's homepage reads, according to a Christian Science Monitor translation. "But in due course my ideology changed. I came to understand that fulfillment in life comes from helping those around me."
Her site, complete with photostream, projects section and blog, serves as a convenient portal for you to catch on all things Anna, from her TV appearances to her charity work. Thus far, we can't find links to buy any of the Anna-Brand clothes, perfume and vodka that's she's been hawking.
The rollout also marks Chapman's return to social media.
Alas, she has not added Danger Room as a friend on Facebook and so we're unable to report on what her Facebook page looks like. We can only guess that it's a little more PG than the one Anna used as a spy in New York since she was reportedly embarrassed by the racy photos taken from it after her arrest.
When she was in the United States, Anna stuck to her cover as a New York real estate businesswoman and hung out with an upscale crowd in the fairly lackluster pursuit of American national security secrets. In the U.K., she reportedly tried to weasel into the company of Princes William and Harry.
On Twitter now, the circle she follows skews towards science, technology and venture capital types. Anna's follows include, Scientific American, TechCrunch, a blog about technology startups, Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Kevin Rose, a venture capitalist and founder of Digg.com.
Maybe she's just trying to stay on top of her responsibilities as a technology advisor for a Russian bank. Or maybe you're next on her target list, nerds.

Conservatory Closed Again
The embattled Thunder Bay Botanical Conservatory is shut down once again because of falling glass. The city says that late Friday they discovered that a malfunction of a roof vent resulted in several glass panels to break. They say that caused shards of glass to fall into the safety netting inside the Tropical House viewing area. The cause of the problem isn't known and no one is hurt. The city expects the conservatory to open again next week.
Injured Bear Reported To MNR
The Ministry of Natural Resources appears to be confirming a report from a listener that there may be an injured bear in the John Street Road area. Spokesperson Michelle Nowak says the report came earlier in the week but their officials didn't respond because no request came from the police. The listener claimed it was an aggressive bear and that it had only three legs, but Nowak couldn't confirm that. No injuries have been reported.
OPP Say Little About Kenora Incident
Police are saying very little about an incident in Kenora that resulted in a man being taken to The Lake Of The Woods Hospital in critical condition. They say the incident occurred in the area of Villeneuve Road in the City of Kenora on Thursday.
NWO Author To Visit Hometown
It will be a special homecoming for Vanessa Ricci-Thode. The young writer returns to Ignace Saturday to unveil her first published book. She says the response to 'Dragon Whisperer' has been positive. She says the book is getting good reviews from those who normally don't read fantasy. Ricci-Thode was at Chapters book store this afternoon for a book signing
Mill Deal In Fort Frances
Resolute Forest Products and Unifor have agreed to keep workers on site at the Fort Frances plant for a little longer. Local and National Unifor President Stephen Boon says they have agreed to extend a July agreement, allowing the number 7 paper machine to run up until December 15th. The original agreement was expected to conclude next week. Boon says after a number of meetings, they decided on the extension due to additional paper orders. The workers have been working on the machine since July.
More Mail For Thunder Bay Plant
There's more mail from the region coming to the Canada Post sorting station in Thunder Bay. Spokesperson John Caines says the new system, called de-twinning, is less than a month old and sees mail posted from area communities like Kenora, Dryden and Fort Frances sent to our city for sorting and distribution. Caines says the move is being made to help make the system more efficient.
Expect Border Lineups
Expect some lineups this weekend at border crossings across northwestern Ontario. Border officials are anticipating heavy traffic due to the Thanksgiving long weekend and those looking to head up to do some hunting. If you have to travel through any of the area's points of entry, try doing so at no-peak times. You can check border wait times on both the Canadian Border Services and U.S. Customs and Protection websites.
Jobless Rate Up
The unemployment rate in Thunder Bay for the month of September stands at 6.4 per cent. According to Statistics Canada that's an increase from the August rate of 6.1 per cent. Across Canada the rate dropped slightly to 6.9 per cent as fewer young people searched for work.
OPP Launch Operation Impact
Expect to see a few more OPP cruisers on area roads this long weekend. Police are taking part in Operation Impact, a campaign that will crackdown on impaired, distracted, and aggressive driving as well as seatbelt compliance. Provincial Police say the big four driving behaviours are responsible for more than 200 deaths on Ontario roads so far this year.
Ear Falls Mayor Elated
The Mayor of the northwestern Ontario township of Ear Falls is excited that EACOM Timber will be starting up the idled sawmill in the community. Kevin Kahoot says this is welcome news for everyone who lives there. Kahoot says when the Mill was running 5-years ago, it helped local businesses, recreational programs and service clubs. The scheduled start-up date is next Spring.


If, like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by either Dr. Travis or by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon referred by our practice.
Your questions and concerns are important to us and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.
After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. Dr. Travis can then start making your new teeth. An impression must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The replacement teeth are then made over the posts or attachments.
Ready for a beautiful, healthy smile?
Schedule your next dental visit with us today.

Six lab-confirmed COVID-19 case in the area; info line hours extended
Administrator | Mar 23, 2020 | Comments 0
UPDATE MARCH 26: Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit now reporting six laboratory test confirmed cases – two are from close contact, four are reported to be related to travel.
UPDATE MARCH 23: Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit now reporting five laboratory test confirmed cases – two are from close contact, three are reported to be related to travel.
UPDATE MARCH 20 – A third laboratory test case of COVID-19 has been confirmed.
UPDATE MARCH 20 – Ontario Public Health Laboratory tests have confirmed a second case of COVID-19 in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties, unrelated to the case announced yesterday or those in quarantine at CFB Trenton. The individual recently returned from travel outside of Canada, developed symptoms of COVID-19, sought medical care, and remains in self-isolation at home.
MARCH 19 – The first lab confirmed case of COVID-19 has been identified in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties in an individual who has recently returned from travel outside of Canada.
"This individual developed symptoms of COVID-19, sought medical care immediately, and remains in self-isolation at home," said Veronica Montgomery, Foundational Standards Manager. "This case confirms that COVID-19 is in our community, reinforcing the need for all individuals to engage in social distancing, remain home if sick, and implement regular infection control practices."
As announced by Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) on March 16, there are also more than 35 probable cases of COVID-19 in the community.
Probable cases are advised to self-isolate for a minimum of 14 days. A probable case is defined as a person with a fever (over 38 degrees Celsius) and/or a cough and any of the following within 14 days prior to onset of illness:
– travel to an impacted area, or
– close contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19, or
– close contact with a person with acute respiratory illness who has been to an impacted area.
"Testing is being prioritized based on Ontario Ministry of Health criteria and our local surveillance needs," says Dr. Oglaza, Medical Officer of Health and CEO at HPEPH, "All cases are instructed to remain in self-isolation until they are no longer infectious as determined by public health".
Travellers returning from anywhere outside Canada have been directed to self-isolate for 14 days following their return and to contact HPEPH if they develop symptoms.
In response to the increased need for community screening and information, the HPEPH COVID-19 information line will be extending its hours. Effective today, the call line will operate 8:30 am to 8:30 pm Monday to Friday, and 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on weekends.
Callers are assessed for risk of COVID-19 based on their travel history, symptoms, and the Ministry of Health case definitions.
The HPEPH website, hpePublicHealth.ca is continuously updated and contains current information and answers for many questions about COVID-19, infection control, and outbreak preparedness.
Residents of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties who still have questions about COVID-19 after reviewing the online content can call the COVID-19 information line at 613-966-5500.

I love using watercolor to paint with my boys. There's just so many ways to use it and I just love the way it looks. One of our favorite things to do is experiment with different watercolor resist techniques. Since it's winter we decided to show some fun ways to use watercolor resist techniques with kids for winter crafting!
Watercolor Resist Techniques for Kids – Winter Edition!
We just use basic kid's watercolor paint and watercolor paper – nothing fancy! When in a pinch, we've even used watered down crayola paint and regular printer paper.
For most of these, we found that watery watercolor works best.
This one uses a simple white crayon and is super fun. We like to use it to reveal surprise pictures, secret messages, or practice vocabulary like we did in our Friendship Ice Cream craft.
To use a crayon for a resist, simply draw a design onto white paper with a white crayon. Try looking at the paper at different angles if it's difficult to see.
Here I drew some quick snowflakes and asked my son to guess what I drew as he painted.
Next I scribbled some skinny trees for him to paint.
*Adult help is required for this one because of the hot iron.
Use wax paper to make interesting resist designs!
My son crumpled wax paper up into a ball until he was satisfied with it, and then we spread it out onto our watercolor paper.
I placed the paper and wax paper on top of a thin dish towel and placed another one on top to protect the ironing table and iron from the wax. Be sure to use towels you don't mind possibly getting wax on. You can also use paper towels.
If your child enjoys squeezing school glue from the glue bottle as much as mine, this one will be a hit.
First, squeeze a design onto the paper and let dry completely.
When it's dry, simply watercolor over it. Sometimes we wipe the watercolor off on top of the glue if it sticks.
I thought the swirls looked like winter wind!
My boys love taping things just for fun. I also enjoy it because I know that peeling and sticking tape is a great motor skill activity.
I found that masking tape works best because it pulls up easily.
This watercolor resist technique is simple. Just stick tape onto the paper to make a design, and then watercolor over it.
After it's completely dry, pull up the tape to reveal your design. Here we crisscrossed the tape, but I think this method would make a great snowflake.
Have you created anything using these watercolor resist techniques? Or have you experimented with any others? Which new method are you going to try?
Thanks! You have great ideas and I will like to try in my classroom as soon as we return for winter break!Have a great day!?
What kind of paper are you using for the white crayon watercolor resist? Thanks a lot for the ideas!
For all of these we used basic kids watercolor paper (crayola brand) in all of these photos. You can experiment with different types. I've had good luck with regular computer paper and white construction paper as well. The only one that can be harder with different types of paper is the wax paper method. Glossy paper actually works best for that one! If you try these, I'd love to know how it goes!

All Right, Angels, Charli XCX Has Announced Her Third Album, 'Charli'
"Angels, your mother is about to feed you new music for five months straight,"
Charli XCX tweeted in May. "You deserve it and you're welcome." Depending on your appetite for futuristic pop, that's either a treat or a threat.
Charli XCX just does not have an off-switch. In 2019 alone, so far, Charli XCX has released the nostalgia-driven "1999" (along with a heavily '90s-packed video), "Blame It On Your Love" with Lizzo, a strange sort-of tribute to the Spice Girls and "Dream Glow," her official BTS Army debut. These follow the previous year's string of singles and two fully developed mixtapes that are somehow not albums.
So now the British singer, songwriter and producer has announced her third studio album, Charli, with 15 songs and 14 features from the likes of Christine and the Queens, Sky Ferreira, Troye Sivan, Lizzo and HAIM. To celebrate, Charli XCX and Lizzo have released a video for "Blame It On Your Love."
"My album is beautiful & soft & aggressive & emotional & clubby & tender all at once," she tweets about Charli. "I've really put all of ME into this. Every aspect of my personality, truth about romantic relationships, working relationships, friends. It's honest & raw & I can't wait for u to hear it."
Charli comes out Sept. 13 via Atlantic Records. Charli XCX will play the Pitchfork Music Festival and goes on a U.S. tour starting Sept. 20. Full track list and album artwork below:

Taylor Swift Fans Think She Outsmarted Scooter Braun With This Cover
Kayla Gately | May 25, 2020 3:41 pm
Credit: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN
Taylor Swift is at the center of another conspiracy theory; although, this time it's not as satanic. In fact, one could even argue it proves she's a god.
It all started when Swift posted about how excited she was that her song "Look What You Made Me Do" was being featured on the hit TV show, Killing Eve. According to Swift, the version of her song being featured is by Jack Leopards & The Dolphin Club.
VERY STOKED about this cover of lwymmd on @KillingEve by Jack leopards & the dolphin club!! pic.twitter.com/fhkLfOssfm
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) May 25, 2020
Seems innocent enough, right? The weird thing is, Swifties (who are really just FBI agents at this point) discovered that the LWYMMD cover is Jack Leopards & The Dolphin Clubs' only song. I mean, it seems like they were just created for the purpose of this cover…
NOT jack leopard and the dolphin club being a fake band that doesn't exist past this cover of the song 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 I'm crying like why I don't get it https://t.co/HN1VhHFiI5
— default girl mii (@girl_default) May 25, 2020
Okay but is jack leopard and the dolphin club literally the most random shit ever or is there a meaning behind this fake name
— jade (@tsholyground) May 25, 2020
so this band doesnt exist past the look what you made me do cover and one of the producers is…NILS SJOBERG https://t.co/sk6ZGribrN
— Sara (@stateoftay16) May 25, 2020
As the super-smart tweet mentions above, one of the producers on the song is none other than Nils Sjöberg. To fully understand the conspiracy of it all, we need to take a trip back to the year 2016. More specifically, we need to take a look at Calvin Harris and Rhianna's hit song, "This Is What You Came For." You see, Swift actually co-wrote Harris' song under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg. Swift chose to write under an alternate identity to keep the focus off of her and Harris' relationship at the time. (A deep dive into the whole incident, including Harris' Twitter rant is here, but we're gonna keep the focus on Swift and her genius mind in this article).
Nils Sjoberg (Taylor's songwriting pseudonym) is listed on the LWYMMD cover's credit. She's using the pseudonym again to get around her music being hijacked from her.
Taylor Swift will not be silenced and I love it. pic.twitter.com/TV6J2x1ACD
— Ryan Schocket (@RyanSchocket) May 25, 2020
Twitter now believes that Swift is using her pseudonym to get around her music being "hijacked" from her by Scooter Braun. ICYMI: In 2019, Braun purchased Swift's first six albums through her former label Big Machine. "For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to 'earn' one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in," Swift said at the time.
Braun and Scott Borchetta, founder of Big Machine, also attempted to ban Swift from performing a medley of her old songs at the 2019 American Music Awards (where she was awarded Artist of the Decade, no less). According to Swift, they claimed this would be considered re-recording her albums before she was allowed to. Lucky for us, she was able to perform her songs in the end.
Don't know what else to do pic.twitter.com/1uBrXwviTS
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) November 14, 2019
Swift has also said she will be re-recording her albums. So, a bunch of Swifties are now convinced that Swift created her own fake band to record a cover of her own song so Braun wouldn't make any more money off of her. All I can say to that is, Swift is a true genius.
Taylor creating her own fake band so she could record this cover of her own song without scooter getting a dime???? that's BIG bad bitch energy i love this woman https://t.co/uwHEpgU40S

— 𝓛𝑜𝓋𝑒, 𝕃𝔻✨ (@lindsayannelle) May 25, 2020
Fans also think the singer behind the mysterious cover band could be none other than Swift's own brother, Austin. According to Twitter sleuths, Austin's Twitter name used to be "The Dolphin Club." I mean, at this point anything could be possible.
So @austinswift7's twitter name used to be The Dolphin Club- pic.twitter.com/h79PaVrNm5

The Department of Correction is cutting 130 jobs in a restructuring.
Chief executive Ray Smith says changes at the national office and some regional offices will save $10 million a year which will be put into other areas.
Slightly fewer positions are being lost than proposed in May, and Mr Smith says no front-line roles will be affected.
He says the restructuring will bring together three service arms: prisons, rehabilitation and probation.
Mr Smith says the departmental changes will allow Corrections to easily target the underlying causes of offending with the aim of reducing re-offending by 25% by 2017.
He says it has been a testing time for many staff and he thanks them for their patience and professionalism.
The prison officers union says its members will not be affected by the restructuring.
President of the Corrections Association, Beven Hanlon, says the changes will not affect a majority of its members.
He says only a select few in the union with secretary positions have suffered job losses.
Mr Hanlon says he supports the department's goal to reduce reoffending by 25% by 2017.
Corrections Minister Anne Tolley, meanwhile, says the people affected by the job cuts are all backroom staff.
Mrs Tolley says the department is doing its best to help find jobs for those who are being made redundant.

Sarcoxie High School lends help area outreach
by: Christina Valdez
SARCOXIE, Mo. — Sarcoxie High School students lend a helping hand to the Freedom Christian Fellowship Outreach Center.
Janice Craig Director of Community Outreach, said, "Oh they just carried box after box after box."
Sarcoxie students from trick or treat so others can eat, FFA, and FCCLA donated 800 pounds of food to the Freedom Christian Fellowship Outreach Center.
"Very very grateful. Cause we were-we were— our shelves were bare we were having to buy everything at this point so they do it every year for us and uh every year it's a blessing."
The school's help relieves some stress on the outreach center. Most needs vary from house fires and financial trouble.
"Now with what we've— they've brought in we probably don't have to buy any can goods until Spring. We can get through the Winter. So that'll be great."
They also gave the organization 20 blankets, 135 pairs of socks, and used a $300 grant to donate Christmas hams.
Emily Meyer 12 grade, said, "I feel very thankful that I get to help the community. Those people that are in need of things the food and the crisis center very helpful for our community for those people that are in need."
People that come to get food donations will have enough food to last them a week.
Tim Masteller, Sarcoxie Resident, said, "I'm glad that somebody's helping the need out. It's very cool. I'm blessed that somebody's helping."
Teachers hope that kids will learn from this experience.
Ugene Meyer, FFA Teacher, said, "Teaching the younger people to give to the other people that maybe aren't as fortunate so cause so many times like in today's society it's more of a me society. What can I do for me do for other people."

Black Beauty Mariposa Villa is a massive 4,424 square foot, three-bedroom holiday home, located in the province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The translation for "Mariposa" is "butterfly" and we are curious to see if you can find the reasons behind the name. Here is a description from the project developers: "Though nestled into the terrain, Mariposa gives the appearance of fluttering above Costa Rica's lush Northern Pacific coast. Its towering height and open spaces features an uninhibited union of earth, ocean, and a luxurious modern eco-lifestyle. An enveloping exterior garden bridged by a glass circulation spine connects and subtly separates the interior living spaces & entertaining areas from the private bedrooms.??Whether entering directly to the master bedroom from the corridor, or descending stairs to the family room and guest suites below, Mariposa's intimate spaces provide ultimate privacy, while expanding one's experience of picturesque nature, vivid sunsets and deluxe amenities." If you are interested in experiencing the National Wildlife Refuge, or would just love to relax in one of the world's most famous travel destinations, you can book the villa all year long, for costs ranging from $550 to $700 per night.

Information submitted in a nomination letter to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame by Jack A. Benson.
Born in St. Anton am Arlburg, Austria where skiing was as much a necessity as a form of recreation, Friedl Pfeifer became one of Europe's most proficient racers and instructors. Three times in the late 1930s, he captured both the Grand Prix de Paris and the Gross Glockner Championships. Twice he took top honors in the International Races at Sestriere, Italy. Twice, in 1939 and 1940, he won the U.S. National (Open) Slalom title. His greatest triumph, however, came in 1936 when he won the combined downhill and slalom championship in the Arlburg-Kandahar.
When he was not racing, Friedl Pfeifer was teaching others how to ski as an instructor in the world famous Hannes Schneider Ski School. After ten years of service to Schneider, Friedl moved to Sun Valley, Idaho in 1938 to direct his own school. By World War II, under his careful management, the Sun Valley Ski School had become the largest in America.
During the war, like so many of his peers, Friedl served in the 10th Mountain Division as a ski instructor. While fighting the Germans in Italy, he was seriously wounded, losing a lung.
After a period of recuperation, Pfeifer moved to Aspen, Colorado, a community he had first seen while serving with the ski troops and set out to convert Aspen into the American equivalent of his native St. Anton. As a first step, he established the Aspen Skiing Corporation in December, 1945. Then, with the financial help of Walter Paepcke, he spent the next year clearing trails and building lifts. However, before the area was completed, Pfeifer was forced to resign his position within the corporation after a falling out with Paepcke. Aspen, itself, opened to the skiing public on January 11, 1947.
Pfeifer's career as a skiing entrepreneur, however, had just begun. From 1946 until the mid-1960s he headed the Aspen Ski School. In 1958, he built the Aspen Buttermilk to provide adequate terrain for beginner skiers, something of which Aspen was in dire need. During the 1960-61 season, he established the International Professional Ski Racer's Association (IPSRA) to increase job opportunities for pro-skiers. For the next six years, Pfeifer directed IPSRA conducted pro-races throughout America. Among Friedl's innovations as the dual slalom race, whereby competitors descend parallel courses at the same time – format which has since been adopted by the current pro-tour.
Besides contributing to skiing as an instructor, racer and entrepreneur, Pfeifer was also an active coach. In 1950, he directed the American Women's team in the F.I.S. Championships at Aspen; six years later he served as coach of the U.S. Women's Team at the Winter Olympics in Cortina d' Ampezzo, Italy.
Surely skiing is a more enjoyable sport for having known Friedl Pfeifer.
Friedl Pfeifer was elected to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame in 1980.

There are several types of Roullete, including single-player and team games. Some people prefer to play alone, while others prefer to play with a partner or a team. There are different ways to play the game, so you should learn which one suits your needs.

Alabama history presentation by albert brewer and gerald johnson

Life and political career
Post gubernatorial life
Brewer was born in Bethel Springs, Tennessee. He attended the University of Alabama and was a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. Prior to his election as the 21st Lieutenant Governor, he served three terms in the Alabama House of Representatives from Morgan County from 1954 to 1966. During the last of these terms, 1962 to 1966, Brewer, at age thirty-four, became the Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives, the youngest person in state history to have held this post.
In 1964, Speaker Brewer and the future U.S. Senator James B. Allen, then the lieutenant governor, were among the unpledged presidential electors on the Alabama ballot. They lost to the Republican slate committed to Barry M. Goldwater. No electors pledged to U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson were permitted on the Alabama ballot. While national Democrats balked over Johnson's exclusion, most supported the unpledged slate, which competed directly with the Republican electors. As The Tuscaloosa News explained, loyalist electors would have offered a clearer choice to voters than did the unpledged slate.
Originally an ally of George Corley Wallace, Brewer was elected lieutenant governor in 1966 without opposition in the general election when Wallace's wife, Lurleen Burns Wallace, was the Democratic nominee for governor.
While lieutenant governor, he was acting governor for a portion of one day while Governor Lurleen Wallace was out of the state for more than twenty days for medical treatment. When this constitutional provision became operative, Mrs. Wallace was immediately rushed back into the state.
When Mrs. Wallace subsequently died in office in May 1968 and Brewer became governor, he took over direct management of the state and did not solicit input from George Wallace. Wallace was in the midst of his bid for the presidency under the American Independent Party. Thus, Brewer began to work to be elected as governor in his own right in 1970. In this effort, he gained an important ally in U.S. President Richard M. Nixon, who had defeated Wallace in the 1968 presidential election and who sought to neutralize Wallace as a potential adversary in 1972. Brewer's 1970 gubernatorial campaign, however, was revolutionary in many respects. Although earlier in his political career he was regarded as a conservative segregationist (but not a race-baiter), Brewer refused to engage in racist rhetoric and courted newly registered black voters. He hoped to build a coalition of blacks, educated middle-class whites, and working-class whites from northern Alabama, traditionally a more liberal part of the state. He unveiled a platform calling for more funding for education, an ethics commission, and a commission to revise Alabama's 1901 state constitution, which had been deliberately framed to disenfranchise blacks and poor whites.
Brewer led George Wallace in the Democratic primary but failed to win an outright majority. He then faced Wallace in a runoff. Running openly against the "black bloc" vote, Wallace slurred Brewer and his family. Wallace narrowly won the Democratic runoff and won the general election in a landslide.
Post-gubernatorial life
After years of private law practice, Brewer served as Distinguished Professor of Law and Government at Samford University's Cumberland School of Law. Before his death, he taught a course on Professional Responsibility at the Cumberland School of Law. He was also an active leader with the Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform since 2000.
On January 2, 2017, Brewer died in UAB Hospital, Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama, aged 88.
Albert P. Brewer High School in eastern Morgan County is named in honor of Brewer. The school opened in 1972. Its patriot mascot is named Preston, Governor Brewer's middle name.
