BitOoda Global & Regulatory Analysis, 12/30/2019: Forecasts for 2020
Happy New Year from BitOoda!
As we read various "year in review" assessments and predictions for 2020, we felt emboldened to offer a few potential scenarios for the year ahead on the regulatory front. Given our weekly analysis of these topics, we list below a few broad statements that, in our view, represent trends and developments with a decent probability of coming to fruition next year. As with everything in this space, things can always change unpredictably, so please don't take these judgments as anything more than informed opinions on a subset of regulatory and geopolitical topics of interest to us and our clients:
Congress will pass the first meaningful U.S. legislative action on digital asset regulation.
The new FATF travel rule will spur increased industry coordination by forcing market participants around the world to coordinate its implementation and compliance efforts.
Non-government SRO-like groups such as ADAM and GDF will be increasingly effective in serving as sources of industry standards and a more unified set of voices to global regulators.
Despite its improving understanding of digital assets, SEC will not approve a bitcoin ETF and will continue its approach of "regulation by enforcement," while CFTC will continue to use a principles-based approach to maintain its continued oversight of its slice of the digital asset market while enabling at least some advancement in the products and activities it allows.
China will issue its digital yuan and other countries will follow in launching their own CBDCs, but the U.S. will not follow suit in the near term. (See Brookings' recent piece, "The current landscape of central bank digital currencies," for a snapshot of the growing interest worldwide in government-backed cryptocurrencies.)
Congress and other U.S. and European regulators will continue to closely scrutinize Libra, delaying its launch and further splintering the Libra Association.
International standard-setting bodies — such as the FATF, the Basel Committee on banking standards, the Financial Stability Board, the IMF, IOSCO, and others — will become increasingly active in addressing key policy questions surrounding digital assets.
U.S. companies will continue to take various regulatory approaches to working with (or around) the SEC in proposing and launching new products and offerings.
We at BitOoda look forward to continuing to work with you all to navigate the constantly-changing digital asset market as we continue to expand our platform to include new products and services. Please continue to keep in touch with us (sales@bitooda.io) to learn about our growth plans for 2020 and how we can work together to drive the advancement of the digital economy.

If you're anything like my friends, your resume is probably a little stale and perhaps a lot rotten.
If your resume seems dull and lifeless, chances are you need to activate it with some action words. Where action verbs activate your resume, keywords are the nouns that explain to hiring managers what things you performed the actions on. To find qualified candidates, some employers use software programs, internet job boards, and resume databases to search for those applications matching the keywords they target.
Keyword nouns tend to be the hard skills and industry-specific qualifications that employers look for in a job candidate. A great place to get keyed into your keywords is to review five to ten employment ads with similar job titles and see which words are repeatedly mentioned.
The functional resume focuses attention on skills and achievements, rather than job titles and places of employment, making it a winner for career changers or new college graduates. For example, if you developed skills through a hobby or volunteer work and you now want to use those skills in a paid job, those skills might not show up in a chronological resume but they could stand out in a functional format where you're not limited to describing your skills under job titles. A small word of warning: Many hiring managers are highly suspicious of candidates boasting their skills in functional resumes since this format can often hide questionable employment records. The resume that avoids vague responsibilities and sticks to facts detailing figures, growth, reduced costs, number of people managed, budget size, sales, and revenue earned gets the job interview. Also, be sure to update and edit your resume frequently so you're ready for every job opportunity.
I think having a functional resume as illustrated here is a bad idea, but for some industries it can be a really good idea to include a brief summary of key skills.
I always have a really hard time applying the tips from resume-improvement articles to my own resume. We (client & I) just interviewed for an open position – we received 120 resumes and only 12 had cover letters! I think it's also important to remember to adapt your resume to the country where you apply.
Of course, depending on cultural differences, such a letter could be seen as a faux-pas, I guess. Let your resume highlight your qualifications and describe your passion and goals in a cover letter. I have had the most success showing my accomplishments versus just stating my job description. When writing a descriptive essay, it is best to make an outline of the topic that has to be discussed before scribbling anything on the paper. A descriptive essay outline is composed of the following: an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
To be able to complete the descriptive essay outline, gather all the information related to the topic. When the descriptive essay outline is done, ideas can now be arranged in a way like the writer is telling a story.
After laying down all the pointers in the body, the next and final part of the descriptive essay outline is the conclusion. Having the descriptive essay outline helps writers organize their thoughts so they would leave a great impression of a topic to their readers. Check this pdf file to find out how to structure a descriptive essay.Miami University is known for its teachers and professors. Cover Letter Writing Tips - Free tips on what to include and not include in your cover letter. Hopefully the CV examples on our website will give you some inspiration and help you make improvements to your own CV. In the CV example above we've picked out the key achievements and placed them in a Major Achievements section, which makes them stand out. You must similarly identify your own achievements that relate to the jobs you have done and the results you have achieved. Failing to list achievements will mean that your CV is far weaker than the better CVs an employer will receive, so you are far less likely to be invited for an interview. Your CV has just one job, to sell you and your experience to an employer - if it doesn't make an employer want to interview you, then it has failed utterly.
It may have to beat 100s of other applicants, if you're applying for a desirable job that everyone else wants too. Pay particular attention to selling your achievements and results for the various jobs that you have undertaken - this is a key differential and can either win you or lose you interviews. Few people even think about tailoring their CV to each job vacancy, but if you don't you're missing a real opportunity to impress an employer. The closer your CV matches exactly what an employer is looking for, the more likely they are to want to interview you. Ensure that your CV demonstrates that you have all the experience, skills and results demanded by the job you are applying for.
You're guaranteed to secure interviews within 30 days if you use our professional CV writing service or we'll rewrite your CV for free. Are you looking for a fun way to help students strengthen auditory memory and listening skills? Important tip: Students should already have a basic understanding of rows, columns, and graph coordinates. Action words, or verbs, bring life to an otherwise rotten resume by setting your skills on fire, giving your credentials authority and power. Learn how to word your resume right by adding the 6 action words that make your resume rock. Employers want to know the skills and qualifications you offer, so explain what skills you possess with the right keywords and get yourself onto the interview list! In today's world of keywords and search engine technology, if your resume doesn't contain the right mix of job-specific keywords, then your resume may stay buried in the digital dungeon that is a candidate database even if you're fully qualified for the job.
Once you see a pattern, highlight and list these keywords and be sure to include them in your resume and cover letter. Aside from academic resumes, there are two common resume formats, they are: chronological and functional. The chronological format lists your most recent employment history (or education) first, ordering your jobs by date in a time line. It's quick to read, easy to follow, and provides a ready-made template for interview questions. Functional resumes give you the platform to showcase only skills and experiences of which you are most confident – which means your work experience is described by showing the transferable skills you mastered in a Relevant Skills section. But despite this negative, the functional resume can land you the job interview if you do it right by grouping your relevant skills into sub-sections and have the right qualifications to match the job requirements.
You may be surprised with these rotten words though, especially since these words are common, they are accepted, and they litter the average resume with buzzword badness. Give the facts, the numbers, the time lines, the dollar figure, the quantitative data that sells your skills and disorients the competition. If you're still feeling stuck then check out these free resume examples to get going. Savings interest rates may be low, but that is all the more reason to shop for the best rate. Then when you go to apply to a job, or at least an industry, you can choose whether you want to go chrono or functional. Sad state of affairs – bottom line – only six of the 12 came in for an interview and we did hire the greatest person for the job! A handwritten letter always gives a better feel than a printed resume, and the person reading it knows you wrote it just for them and didn't just print twenty of them.
Help the reader understand the SCOPE AND SCALE of what you did – how big was the team, how much revenue did you bring in, etc.
However, networking seems to be a major force wherever you live in the world and is often the reason your application sits at the top of the pile and not at the bottom. Resume-Help.org was designed for everyone from the novice job hunter to the HR professional.
In writing a descriptive essay, it is wise to use the imagination to catch the attention of the readers and give them a chance to recreate in their minds the whole situation that is being shown to them. Here, the whole outcome of the occasion, how it went and what the general reactions of the visitors have about the party may be summed up. The readers would also understand better what the writer is trying to convey in his descriptive essay.
The resume cover letter is arguably the most important part of the job search process, however often the most overlooked.

On today's episode of The Personal Finance Hour, Jim and I will be discussing job-hunting skills. But honestly, very few job hunters know how to write a resume that lands them a job interview. If your resume reads more like a personal history book then you're heading to the rotten resume pile. Verbs are important to include since they show hiring managers what actions you've taken in previous jobs.
This is the traditional method of formatting a resume, and places more emphasis on your job titles and your employment history over your skills. Here's how to rescue two rotten resume words and turn your application into one solid winner!
It's a lot easier to see what makes a resume awesome and then do the work to rescue your own.
Find the highest savings interest rates and CD rates from Synchrony Bank, Ally Bank, and more. For someone that does tech support, it can be helpful to list the different programs they've supported and had experience with. You have all of the jobs right in front of you so it will minimize the time it takes to tailor. One interviewee took it upon herself to go into our breakroom and chastise us for not having coffee made, which she proceeded to make herself. Learn to show off your qualities, be clear, specific and organised, choose your words carefully.
I haven't hired a lot of people, but I have reviewed resumes for various positions, and the objective has always been useless to me.
This would be the focus of the descriptive essay and the details included in the outline should revolve around the topic. Surfing through the net for more ideas could also be useful in writing down the descriptive essay. And remember, to be able to properly describe things, make use of the five senses and illustrate using the different figures of speech. Ask which among the ideas written down is the most important and would create a great impact to the readers. The most important thing to keep in mind when writing your cover letter is to tailor it to the job you are applying for.
However, to really focus on building auditory memory and listening skills, let's not make this your student's first exposure to graph concepts. Since having income is an important step towards getting rid of debt, putting money into your online savings account, building an emergency fund and getting rich slowly, it pays to review your resume for rottenness before sending it out. You're being hired to do something, so show what you've done by preceding your skills and experiences with action verbs!
Chronological resumes can work best for job seekers with a stable career progression in one or two fields. But if you follow these five simple rules you too can stay out of the hiring manager's trash and land that job interview. Programmers may want to mention that they know these languages and have experience with object-oriented and WCF services and they've had experience with agile development. I've trashed resumes that included religious verses at the bottom and one that included headshots (for a receptionist job in a distribution warehouse). And and over, I interview people who have all the right words in their resume but can't give one concrete example of their work to back up their claims.
Was it the parent's speech, the debutante's gown, her first dance, the mood of the whole party?
So the length of the descriptive essay would depend on how many ideas the writer would want to point out.
Ensure that you use verbiage from the job posting in you cover letter to grab the attention of the hiring manager. The most effective resumes are clearly focused on a specific job title and address the employer's stated needs. The order of the information is important, as you want hiring manager to find information quickly and easily.
After finally deciding on a topic to talk about, jot down all the pointers that have to be included in the descriptive essay. In the topic 18th birthday celebration of a friend, the food, the venue or the guests cheering for the debutante as she walks up the stage could be widely discussed.
To get started, use the below two free cover letter examples as a guide of what to include.
It does not necessarily mean that all the items written on the outline should be included in the article. The writer should be able to create a setting that would connect him to his readers and make them feel as if they are part of the party.
Rather than waste the hiring manager's time reading a vague list of responsibilities, be specific and use quantitative figures to back up your cited skills and accomplishments. Trim down the ideas until only those that are very relevant and useful in depicting the topic are left.

Paradise Valley Hospital Only Top Performer in San Diego 4 Years in a Row
News 2014 November Paradise Valley Hospital Only Top Performer in San Diego 4 Years in a Row
Paradise Valley Hospital was just named one of the nation's "Top Performers on Key Quality Measures" by The Joint Commission—and is the only hospital in San Diego County to be named a "Top Performer" four years in a row.
Paradise Valley Hospital was one of 1,224 hospitals nationwide to meet or exceed the target rates of performance in 2013. In California, 86 hospitals were named "Top Performer" in at least two categories.
According to The Joint Commission, Paradise Valley was recognized for exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for four conditions: heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care.
"Paradise Valley's accomplishment as the only hospital to achieve this prestigious recognition four years in a row in San Diego was made possible through the dedication, commitment and clinical skills of our physicians and employees," said Neerav Jadeja, Paradise Valley Hospital administrator.
To be named a "Top Performer," Paradise Valley Hospital had to meet or exceed 95% performance on a composite score for all reported accountability measures; meet or exceed 95% performance on each and every reported accountability measure where there are at least 30 denominator cases; and have at least one core measure set with a composite rate of at least 95%.
Jadeja added, "Combined with being ranked among the Top 100 Hospitals in the Nation in 2014 by Truven Health, Paradise Valley Hospital has become nationally recognized for patient safety and quality care. We are pleased to offer South Bay residents this caliber of healthcare."
The Joint Commission is the leading accreditor of healthcare organizations in America.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade (Or, depending on service provider, make life take the lemons back). When life gives you a half-brother twenty years older than you, you apparently make a geeky webcomic about video games and sibling inequality. Who knew?
In the blue corner at MegaCynics Rumble tonight, we have Ash Vickers, a mid-20s female artist from the distant lands of Canadia. In the red corner, Steve Dengler, mid-40s businessman who operates as CEO of XE.com from the more distant lands of Ontarionia. FIGHT!
And remarkably, the fightening of the siblings makes up a lot of this remarkable comic. The dichotomy between Steve, the elder and financially successful sibling, and Ash, the younger struggling artist, is portrayed exactly as one might imagine a sibling rivalry to be portrayed, with each side having its ups and downs. But the two are also tremendous video game geeks, and occasionally they share moments of comradery over the fact. Consequently, the writing of MegaCynics has yet to run stale, as there's always something to spice up circumstances and keep the character dynamic running.
The artwork, sole wonder by Ms Vickers, is a unique brand of simplistic shapes with subtle and often complex shading to produce a look you'll be hard pressed to find duplicated elsewhere. Character proportions are loose but maintained, even in the more outlandish situations the characters find themselves in (such as Rapture in Bioshock or Aperture Science in Portal 2). The demands of drawing both everyday events and more crazy ones (such as the aforementioned situations, and the kidnapping of certain geek icons by Steve) keep Ash on her toes and as yet she's not faltered on meeting the challenge, even when it drives her perhaps a tad more batty than she'd like.
Compared to other webcomics I've featured in the past, MegaCynics is extremely young, dating back only to February of this year. In the space of this short lifespan however you can see Ash's artwork go from early blocky and clumsy efforts to far cleaner and stylised ones today, and the co-operative writing has been similarly near-perfected in a relatively rapid span. But things don't develop in leaps and bounds, its more rapid refinement of distinct traits…I'd almost call it some kind of accelerated artistic evolution, certainly interesting to marathon the archive.
MegaCynics updates on Wednesdays and Fridays, regular as a wristwatch, and the comics have something for just about everyone, between sports rivalry, sibling rivalry, gaming geekery, and total absurdity, all neatly wrapped up in the original sibling dichotomy on which the webcomic is founded. Whilst this is a comparatively short feature, MegaCynics is by no means worth comparatively little attention.

EU green bond standard
Adotados on 08/12/2021
COM(2021) 391 final 2021/0191 CODCOM(2021) 391 final 2021/0191 COD
Philip VON BROCKDORFF (Workers - GR II / Malta)
The EESC strongly supports the goal of redirecting investments in such a way that they contribute to the EU's transition to a sustainable economy but calls for the social partners and civil society to be brought better on board in the design and implementation of sustainable finance. The EU green bond standard has the potential to yield significant economic benefits for both issuers and investors alike and help the green transition.

In its opinion, the EESC supports the European Commission's proposal, given its major socio-economic importance for the region. The maintaining of the suspension of customs duties on imports of industrial products, as well as the extension of the product categories it covers, is considered to be beneficial for the Canary Islands' economy, which has suffered particular economic damage in comparison with other EU regions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in relation to domestic GDP volume.

Reconciling ambitious sustainable and social objectives with an enabling environment for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises
Bruno CHOIX (Employers - GR I / France)
Micro enterprises and SMEs (MSME) in all fields need good conditions to survive the health and economic crisis and unlock their potential so that they can grow and create jobs. This opinion examines alternatives to address the administrative ("paper tax") burden on MSMEs, particularly in view of current transparency and disclosure measures to achieve the EU's social and environmental objectives.

Developing Artificial Intelligence in European micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs)
Marie-Francoise GONDARD-ARGENTI (Employers - GR I / France)
Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) face challenges in the area of digitalisation and access to artificial intelligence, but this segment can take great advantage of the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence.
The main objective of the opinion is to propose concrete measures which can be easily implemented in order to avoid MSMEs being "left behind" from the transition to artificial intelligence. The main issues to be addressed are: the use of new technologies to offer innovative products and services and strengthen Europe's capacity to invest in disruptive innovations; create closer links in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) between universities and public administration, on the one hand, and businesses, in particular SMEs and micro-enterprises, on the other; support the MSMEs in recruiting and ensuring skills development for their employees to cope with the technological changes brought about by AI; facilitate the access to EU funding.

The Commission's decision to create a Digital Single Market (to remove virtual borders, boost digital connectivity, and make it easier for consumers to access cross-border online content) is therefore a welcome move. But what does it mean for SMEs in practice? How will this affect their day-to-day running? And, given the lessons learnt from previous rapid changes, how do we make an "inclusive" success of the Digital Single Market?

Europe is embarking on a transition towards climate neutrality and digital leadership. European businesses can lead the way as we enter this new age, as they has done in the past.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are essential to Europe's competitiveness and prosperity. Based on the new SME Strategy, the EU will support SMEs by:
encouraging innovation through new funding and digital innovation hubs as part of the sustainable and digital transitions;
cutting red tape by reducing barriers within the Single Market and opening up access to finance;
allowing better access to finance by setting up an SME Initial Public Offering Fund (with investments channelled through a new private-public fund) and the ESCALAR initiative (a mechanism to boost the size of venture capital funds and attract more private investment).

The EESC strongly supports the Commission's proposal – Next Generation EU – as a specific tool for a quick and effective recovery.
The EESC takes a very positive view of the Commission's two main decisions:
to introduce an extraordinary financial recovery instrument as part of the multiannual financial framework
to raise common debt, which will be repaid over a long period of time, and prevent the extraordinary financial burden from falling directly on the Member States in the short run.
The EESC strongly welcomes the fact that the newly proposed instrument should be closely coordinated with the European Semester process, and furthermore welcomes the Commission's proposal to introduce additional genuine own resources based on different taxes (revenues from the EU Emissions Trading System, digital taxation, large companies' revenues).

Carmen Alvarez UFT Vice President for Special Education Carmen Alvarez delivered the UFT's strong support for striking yellow school bus drivers and matrons at a City Council hearing on the strike held on Feb. 8. Hundreds of concerned parents, community activists, representatives from various unions and the strikers themselves attended the hearing called by the Council's education and finance committees.
Alvarez took the mayor to task for insisting that he's "only a bystander" who is "unable to intervene" in the strike. "We beg to differ," she said.
She also castigated Bloomberg for "crowing" about how much money the city is saving during the strike.
"The fact that District 75 attendance is down 16 percent from February of last year is hardly something to celebrate, any more than the financial hurt being endured by the hardworking bus drivers and matrons," she said.
Alvarez offered the union's support to parents filing complaints with the State Education Department against the city Department of Education for its failure to provide a "free and appropriate public education" to students with disabilities.
Michael Cordiello, the president of ATU Local 1181, also spoke on the panel, blasting the mayor for unnecessarily prolonging the strike by refusing to meet with the union.
Cordiello also emphasized the importance of having experienced bus drivers behind the wheel, saying that the job security and seniority measures the mayor is attempting to remove from future contracts are a big part of why New York has one of the safest school busing systems in the country.

Itō Einosuke (en japonés: 伊藤 永之介;  Akita, 21 de noviembre de 1903-26 de julio de 1959) fue un escritor japonés.

Biografía
Tras terminar sus estudios, trabajó en un banco y comenzó a escribir artículos para revistas. En 1924, se mudó a Tokio y comenzó a publicar para la revista socialista Bungei Sensen (文芸戦線) fundada por Yōbun Kaneko. Gracias a la publicación de la historia Mienai Kōzan (見えない鉱山) de 1928 en esa revista, empezó a ganar notoriedad como escritor de literatura proletaria. Más tarde se dedicó a la literatura popular, con un estilo más directo. Su obra más conocida es probablemente Keisatsu Nikki ("Diario de un oficial de policía", 1952), en la que se cuentan historias de la vida de pueblo desde el punto de vista de un policía.

Al menos dos de sus historias han sido llevadas al cine: Keisatsu nikki (警察日記), en 1951, con guion de Ide Toshirō (井手 俊郎); y Uguisu ("El Ruiseñor"), dirigida en 1938 por Shirō Toyoda, que se inspira de una historia homónima que también tiene lugar en un entorno rural.

JPMorgan May Merge Its Blockchain Project With Ethereum Studio ConsenSys: Report
The banking giant is apparently in talks to merge Quorum with ConsenSys, the ethereum-focused software developer and investor.
Updated Sep 13, 2021 at 12:16 p.m. UTC
Daniel Palmer
Banking giant JPMorgan Chase may soon merge its Quorum blockchain project with ConsenSys, the ethereum-focused software developer and investor.
According to a Reuters report Tuesday citing "people familiar with the plans," while the terms of the deal currently under discussion are still not set, the merger might happen within the next six months.
Quorum was first reported in 2016, creating a wave of excitement as it officially connected the bank with ethereum, even if it was a private version of the tech. The firm suggested at the time the open source project was a first step toward building a system that could connect private institutions via distributed networks.
Since then, Quorum has had privacy features from ethereum added and a major revamp based on the Java programming language in a bid to make it easier for businesses to use and deploy.
It's also been used as the basis for JPM's Interbank Information Network, which now has over 365 banks on board. The platform is aimed at allowing member banks to exchange information in real time, allowing them to verify payments has been approved
In May 2019, staff at the bank suggested Quorum might be spun off, though it was uncertain if that would be the case at the time.
Reuters sources added the Quorum unit currently employs roughly 25 people globally, and it's not yet clear if they would become part of ConsenSys' team after the merger.
CoinDesk reached out to both parties to confirm the report. JPMorgan declined to comment.

In 'Eyes on the Street,' Photographer Jamel Shabazz Identifies the Boundless Culture of New York City's Outer Boroughs
Grace Ebert

One of New York City's most discerning and essential documentarians, photographer Jamel Shabazz has built a career around capturing the unique visual lexicon of the outer boroughs. His images are deeply empathetic and resolute in the value of all life regardless of race, class, and social status. With a self-described goal of preserving "the world history and culture," Shabazz continually finds the joy and vibrancy emanating from communities like Brownsville, Red Hook, and Harlem.
His first institutional survey, an expansive exhibition of Shabazz's photos is on view through September 4 at The Bronx Museum. Eyes on the Streets contains more than 150 images from his extensive archive, some of which are shown for the first time. Distinctly rooted in place, the collection transcends neighborhood and time period, creating a rich, photographic mosaic of New Yorkers through the last four decades. The exhibition also speaks to current conversations around policing and alternatives by showing how tight-knit communities and street activity have long bolstered public safety.
Often recognized for capturing hip-hop culture and the fashions of the 1980s, Shabazz's photos range from the stylishly posed to the candid and serendipitous. He frames a pitbull mid-air as it grips a strap, children flipping onto a frayed mattress, and a beaming, rush-hour crowd grinning through an open window. Having recorded poverty, the widespread effects of racism, and those housed at Rikers Island during his time working for the Department of Corrections, Shabazz continually chooses humanity and happiness. "Some of the people in the community might see themselves when they were at a really bad point in their lives," he told The New York Times in reference to the images he chose to leave out of Eyes on the Streets. "I wanted to focus more on the joy."
Shabazz has published multiple monographs throughout his career, and his new A Time Before Crack is available for pre-order. The forthcoming Jamel Shabazz: Albums, which won the Gordon Parks Foundation/Steidl Book Prize, is also slated for release next fall. You can find more of his photos on his site.

Hundreds of Photos of the New York Sky Are Pinned to a Massive, Spherical Sculpture by Sarah Sze
" Shorter than the Day" (2020), powder-coated aluminum and steel, 48 x 30 x 30 feet. All images © Sarah Sze by Nicholas Knight
Artist Sarah Sze explores the myriad conceptions of time and space through a tremendous new spherical sculpture. Titled "Shorter than the Day" —a reference to Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I could not stop for Death," which considers the comfort found in life's finality—Sze's piece weighs five tons and was unveiled Thursday at LaGuardia Airport. It is suspended above an atrium in Terminal B.
The New York-based artist captures the magnitude of the upper atmosphere as it changes from bright blue morning to a vibrant sunset to the rich hues of the night through nearly 1,000 photographs of the sky. Each printed image is fastened to the aluminum and steel with alligator clips and is revealed as viewers move around the massive work, just like the earth circles the sun to mark a day. The piece was fabricated in collaboration with Amuneal.
Along with three other projects from artists Jeppe Hein, Laura Owens, Sabine Hornig, "Shorter than the Day" was commissioned by LaGuardia Gateway Partners and Public Art Fund.

Prominent Figures of the Harlem Renaissance Featured on New USPS Stamps
All images © USPS
For those who aren't keen on emblazoning their rent checks or letters with an American flag, the United States Postal Service recently released a stamp collection dedicated to one of the most influential periods in the nation's history. The new set features pastel renderings of four prominent figures of the Harlem Renaissance, a profound artistic and intellectual movement that spanned the 1920s. This year marks a century since the period began and became a turning point for Black culture.
Nella Larsen is recognized most often for her two novels Quicksand (1928) and Passing (1929), which explore race relations at the intersection of gender, sexuality, and class; Educator, poet, and avid gardener Anne Spencer exemplified the far-reaching effects of the Harlem Renaissance by hosting artists and intellectuals at her home in Virginia; Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was an Afro-Latinx historian dedicated to furthering recognition of Black artists, writers, and intellectuals. His collections now are housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City; and writer, philosopher, and educator Alain Locke is one of the most prominent thinkers of the period. He also edited and contributed to the foundational text, The New Negro.
Designed by art director Greg Breeding with art by Gary Kelley, the 55-cent forever stamps are available for purchase in sheets of 20 from USPS. (via Hyperallergic)
JR Reproduces Images of More Than 1,000 NYC Residents in Massive New Mural
"The Chronicles of New York City" (2020). Photos by Marc Azoulay. All images © JR-ART.net, shared with permission
French artist JR (previously) is back in New York, transforming pockets of the city with his latest work. Installed on stacked shipping containers, "The Chronicles of New York City" is a compilation of images depicting more than 1,000 New York residents, who the artist photographed and reproduced for the large-scale work. Created in Williamsburg's Domino Park, the black-and-white mural is JR's biggest public project to date in the city. It overlooks the East River and features people living in all five boroughs gathered in a public space that mimics the newly built park.
Since opening his exhibition "JR: Chronicles" in October of 2019, the artist has been transforming areas throughout the city, like a space at the Kings Theatre in Flatbush and the Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance in Bedford Stuyvesant. "The Chronicles of New York City" is the centerpiece of the exhibition, which is on view through May 3, 2020, at Brooklyn Museum, and is accompanied by audio recordings of those portrayed in the monochromatic mural. The public installation was a collaboration with architectural firm LOT-EK, which is known for its sustainable design and helped in creating the site.
"Working at the intersections of photography, social engagement, and street art, JR collaborates with communities by taking individual portraits, reproducing them at a monumental scale, and wheat pasting them—sometimes illegally—in nearby public spaces," says a statement about the exhibition. See where JR's work pops up next by following him on Instagram and peek in his shop to check out what's available for purchase.
An Enormous Red Sun Will Shine Above the Streets of New York in Thanksgiving Parade Balloon by Yayoi Kusama
Laura Staugaitis
If you haven't had a chance to experience a Yayoi Kusama piece in person, the iconic Japanese artist will be debuting a sun-themed balloon in this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Kusama (previously), whose wide-ranging work across a long career includes her wildly popular infinity rooms and large-scale polka dotted objects, has designed "Love Flies Up to the Sky" to be floated along the streets of Manhattan. The red balloon, hand-painted with white and yellow dots and a blue face, joins "more than 1,500 dancers and cheerleaders, close to 1,000 clowns, almost 30 parade floats, and a dozen marching bands," according to NYCTourist.com. Kusama is the first female artist to be commissioned by the parade to create a ballon as part of their Blue Sky Gallery program, joining a roster that has included KAWS, Jeff Koons, Tim Burton, and FriendsWithYou, among others. (via Hyperallergic)
Update: The Kusama balloon was grounded because of weather.

As if all the combiner news from BotCon wasn't enough, Autobase Aichi have posted new pictures of Kabaya's upcoming Seacons on their blog. These pictures are much larger than what we've seen before, and detail all the features of the set. Check them out!
This image shows the whole set in their various modes, and gives measurements of their size. It's also clear which pieces of combiner kibble come with each model. Unfortunately, this picture also makes clear that there will be much partsforming with this set. Despite all the strides Kabaya's made to remove partsforming in these models, it just keeps coming back. However, as they are ever wont to do, they've given each Seacon the ability to form an A stance.
Finally, we have an image showing the "scramble power" in action. Each of the smaller Seacons has the ability to form any limb, and each also has the ability to form a gun for King Poseidon to wield. Those who enjoy this unique feature of the old Seacon toys should be pleased to see that ability retained here.
You can preorder this set at TfSource here.


The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Archipelago Exchange (ArcaEx), with approval of their boards of directors, today announced that they have entered a definitive merger agreement that will lead to the combined entity, NYSE Group, Inc., becoming a publicly-held company. If approved by regulators, NYSE members and Archipelago shareholders, the merger will represent the largest-ever among securities exchanges and combine the world's leading equities market with the most successful totally open, fully electronic exchange, creating long-term shareholder value.
'This combination will be good for investors and for America. It will create a strong, dynamic and innovative enterprise capable of meeting the demands of investors and issuers throughout the world in the decades ahead,' said John A. Thain, CEO of the NYSE. 'As we look to the future and to the challenge of competing globally in a high-speed electronically connected world, it is clear that we must do more. This transaction will mean we will be more diversified and transparent, and better able to compete, grow and serve our customers.
The transaction is subject to approval by members of the NYSE and shareholders of Archipelago as well as certain government approvals, including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the expiration of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. If approved, the NYSE and Archipelago will become part of a group under a newly formed for-profit and publicly traded holding company, NYSE Group, Inc. The NYSE and Archipelago will be combined in a "stock for membership" merger, in which NYSE members will receive consideration in the form of cash and stock in the new company while Archipelago shareholders will receive stock. Current shareholders of Archipelago will hold 30 percent of the shares of the NYSE Group, Inc., and current NYSE owners will hold 70 percent. The merger is expected to close in either the fourth quarter of 2005 or the first quarter of 2006.
Three independent Archipelago directors will join the existing 11 independent New York Stock Exchange directors as directors of the NYSE Group, Inc. The NYSE's John Thain will become Chief Executive Officer of the NYSE Group, Inc. Archipelago CEO Jerry Putnam will join the NYSE's Catherine R. Kinney and Robert G. Britz as NYSE Group, Inc. Co-Presidents. Amy Butte, NYSE CFO, will be Executive Vice President of Strategy and Product Development. Archipelago CFO Nelson Chai will be the CFO and Archipelago General Counsel Kevin O'Hara will be the Co-General Counsel of the NYSE Group, Inc.
Upon close of this transaction, regulation of NYSE Group, Inc. will be conducted by a separate non-public, not-for-profit entity governed by the Chief Regulatory Officer and a board made up of the independent directors. The non- profit SRO board will consist of independent members of the board of the holding company and will include unaffiliated directors. NYSE Regulation will fund its operation from dedicated regulatory fees and long-term regulatory service contracts. This structure will ensure that NYSE Regulation is independent yet has the proximity to the marketplace necessary to provide effective investor protection and safeguard market integrity.
Goldman Sachs & Co. acted as financial advisor to Archipelago and the NYSE. Greenhill and Co. provided a fairness opinion to Archipelago, Lazard Freres & Co. LLC provided a fairness opinion to the NYSE."

IBM launches X-Force Exchange – a social media network for cybercrime fighters
Wed, 2015-04-22 06:00 -- Doug Peeples
"It's not just a scenario of a bored teenager, deciding to show off to his or her girlfriend. In many cases, these are organized gangs of thieves," said Caleb Barlow, IBM's VP for mobile management and security, while describing the new face of cybercrime in an interview with CNBC.
How well organized are they?
Statistics from the UN Office of Drugs and Crime back him up. According to the agency, 80% of cyberattacks come from gangs that are extremely well organized. And as Barlow commented, part of their effectiveness comes from their willingness to share information among themselves. That, according to a survey from cybersecurity company vArmour and consulting firm Blue Lava, is something a majority of security professionals say they don't do.
"On the dark side of the Internet, one of the things we see is that they are collaborating to share tools, and to share ideas, and .. data on how to attack," he said.
A social media platform for threat intelligence
Council Lead Partner IBM, a supporter of collaboration in the industry, has come up with a way security professionals can share information as well. It recently launched X-Force Exchange, a new social media platform that functions very much like popular social media site Pinterest. The platform, which IBM refers to as a "threat intelligence sharing platform," enables them to share information on cyberattacks as they occur on a global basis.
The Exchange is based on IBM data gathered as it tracks billions of security instances that could be damaging, but aren't all considered major intrusions. "Large data sets like these are usually held in proprietary forms or maybe are shared [among] folks in a particular industry, like the financial services," Barlow was quoted as saying. "But what we recognize is the importance of sharing this on a much larger scale."
Can microgrids help with grid security, too?
Microgrids aren't usually thought of as an integral element in strategies to thwart cyberattacks. Typically, they're thought of as backup power source, filling in while damaged electric grids are being repaired. But according to an article in Energy Efficiency Markets.com, the military, already an early adopter of distributed generation and storage technologies, believes microgrids can capably play an important role in fighting cyber threats.
The military does a good job of finding security vulnerabilities in their systems before attackers do, but they're not all going to be discovered in time. "We realize we are not going to be able to thwart every [cyber] attack. Microgrids are considered mission critical. We can't afford loss of capabilities if the commercial grid fails; we have to be up and running," said David Curfman, assistant commander and public works director for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command.
The Department of Defense widely recognizes vulnerabilities in the commercial grid and the need for enhanced energy security for its operations. And microgrids and distributed resources are very much a part of that.
As David Chiesa, director of microgrid business development for Council Lead Partner S&C Electric, put it: "If you take a look at what Denmark did over the last 20 years, it started off with five large centralized generating stations. Today it has over 100 distributed resources. That's where we are headed."

Located at Heddal in Notodden municipality, Norway, Heddal Stave Church (Norwegian: Heiterdals kircke) was constructed in the early 13th century. It is the largest among the 28 stave churches remained in Norway today. Stave church is a medieval wooden church of traditional Nordic style.
Heddal stave church is a timber-built church with three small turrets. The church contains numerous symbols of old Christian and heathen traditions. The holy cross on the turrets is the symbol of Christianity, whereas the dragon heads at the gable ends represent the old heathen motifs rooted in Celtic and Germanic sources.


In honor of my beloved puppy Jackson, I have decided to do a Merry Christmas Lets begin the holiday sweater in his honor!
If teaching is a Merry Christmas Lets begin the holiday sweater, or is ever to become one, teachers must read the literature of the profession. If you are a professional teacher, or if you are ever to become one, you must read and enjoy the reading of good books on teaching and education. It is not the reading alone but' the keen interest and love for the reading. Teaching can never become a profession until teachers become acquainted with the literature of the profession, and even before they enter the profession must show that they have made the acquaintance of this literature.
I have little faith in the Merry Christmas Lets begin the holiday sweater who does not care for good books, and who does not own and read a few good books. The teacher who has taught for a few terms and who has not at least the beginning of a professional library ought to quit. It is an imposition upon the public to continue year after year teaching when you do not have interest enough in your work nor love enough for the profession to own a few good books bearing upon your work. It is a sure sign that your interest in teaching is a mere mercenary interest. You teach for the dollars only. That is not so bad in itself if you want to give value received for the dollars. Few of us could or would teach if there were no salary attached, but there is a deeper and broader interest that is above money value.


Danone Early Life Nutrition (Elina) is a division that consist of PT Sarihusada Generasi Mahardhika and PT Nutricia Indonesia Sejahtera. The company's commitment is to make healthy start for all babies by sharing knowledge with parents and caregivers, helping them to make the right choice for baby in the first 1000 days and beyond.
As the business grows, the company needs a place where their staff can share information across the board. This place will play important roles in improving productivity, corporate communications, and knowledge management.
Realizing Elina's need to make better communication among the employees, Suitmedia makes suggestion to build a modern intranet. This Intranet is a private network for company, intended to share information securely which limited to just employees.
We designed Elina's intranet in a well-designed, engaging, and useful intranet that becomes a key component in internal communication. We ensured that the intranet will have a power to capture the attention of each and every employee as seen in "Employee Corner" menu. Through "Employee Corner" menu, user can find employee stories, tips, lounge and corner detail. There is also a page dedicated to announce new employee at Elina. This intranet will be a perfect place for 2 way communications with employees.
Aside from creating better employee engagement, Elina's intranet is designed to enhance and support corporate values, mission statements, and company goals. Rather than sending out emails to give outline of company's mission, intranet becomes a perfect place to make sure all employees are on board with company's mission, thus we designed "Our Company" in an attractive ways. This menu contains company's vision, mission, history and achievement that will create better relationship and engagement between employees and company.
The essence of Elina's intranet is to raise employee engagement by offering a place where every employee can collaborate and participate on the intranet. The intranet also drives a more team-orientated workplace where executives, management, and company leaders to have presence and provide mentorship to employees through Elina's intranet.

Marble Hill est le quartier le plus septentrional de l'arrondissement de Manhattan à New York, enclavé dans le Bronx.

Autrefois, le quartier était mitoyen de celui d'Inwood situé au sud et était cerné à l'ouest, au nord et à l'est par un méandre de la Harlem River. Afin de faciliter la navigation et éviter celui-ci, on creusa en 1895, dans sa partie méridionale, le Harlem River Ship Canal, isolant ainsi Marble Hill du reste de Manhattan en la transformant en île. En 1914, l'ancien méandre de la rivière sera comblé, rattachant physiquement Marble Hill au Bronx.

Il s'ensuivit une querelle entre les deux boroughs pour l'administration de ce territoire. Lorsqu'en 1939, un juge décida que Marble Hill était toujours légalement une partie de Manhattan, le président du Bronx déclara qu'il s'agissait des « Sudètes du Bronx », faisant ainsi référence cette région germanophone de Tchécoslovaquie que Hitler annexa en 1938.

Marble Hill tire son nom d'un important gisement de marbre sous la colline. On y exploitait autrefois des mines pour extraire des pierres de construction.

Le quartier est desservi par le métro de New York (225th Street-Marble Hill station), et par les trains de banlieue de la Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line qui s'arrêtent à Marble Hill train station.

Diogo Dalot scores twice as Portugal defeats Czech Republic 4-0 in the Nations League
By Sanjeet Patel September 25, 2022 Updated: October 18, 2022 Football No Comments3 Mins Read
Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot scored twice in Portugal's 4-0 victory against the Czech Republic in the Nations League. Bruno Fernandes scored and assisted one each and Cristiano Ronaldo set up Diogo Jota in the end, sending Portugal to the top of Group B with 10 points in 5 matches. The Czech Republic on the other hand went to the bottom of the table and now must defeat Switzerland to avoid relegation to League B.

The 2019 Nations League champion started aggressively in the match. Portugal's leading goalscorer and captain Cristiano Ronaldo was involved in a collision with Czech goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik. He suffered a nasty nose injury but continued to play after getting treatment. Diogo Dalot broke the deadlock with his strike from Rafael Leao's cut-back in the 33rd minute. The goal is the first by Dalot for Portugal.

Bruno Fernandes scored the 2nd in the first-half injury time from Mario Rui's cross to put Portugal in complete control going in halftime. Cristiano Ronaldo conceded a penalty to the Czech Republic with a handball in injury time but forward Patrik Schick was unable to convert the spot-kick.
Portugal assert control from Dalot and Fernandes goals
Diogo Dalot continued his assault in the 2nd half as well. His outside-the-box left-footed finish from Bruno Fernandes's assist took the match away from the Czech Republic by the 52nd minute. The Brace from Dalot was enough to seal the game for Portugal but Cristiano Ronaldo struggled to finish off chances in the entire match.

He missed several good scoring chances with improper finishes making him frustrated with himself throughout the match. He made up for his misses and penalty when he set up Diogo Jota from a corner in the 82nd minute. Jota headed in Portugal's 4th goal of the night as they comfortably cruised to victory in a must-win match.
Portugal sits on the top of the table and must avoid a defeat against Spain on Tuesday to reach next summer's finals. Spain on the other hand lost their 1st home match in 4 years against Switzerland 2-1.

Goals and assists from Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, and Cristiano Ronaldo is good news for Portugal's national football team. But it is equally important for the fans of Manchester United as they watch closely their stars play during the international break. Only one thing remains to be corrected – seeing Cristiano Ronaldo back on the scoresheets. Portugal will face Spain on Tuesday at home and look forward to continuing the assault and securing the top position in the group.

From early circumstances in the Unified States (U.S.), up to the 1970s, much family movement fixated on the lounge room of a home. Otherwise called "the accepting room," home producers took visitors there when they entered the home. This room contained the best seating and decorations. There, the draperies hung finely about the windows. A little piano may dwell in the room. A vase with crisp cut blossoms and a bowl loaded with nuts or mints may lay on the foot stool. "Eat something while I bring espresso from the kitchen," a home producer may state to visitors.
Kept perfectly spotless, the parlor area allowed the homemaker to engage visitors without their getting far into the home (where messes prowled). A home creator may serenely take part in courteous and fascinating discussion, and establish a connection on visitors in the parlor. That area, the most formal, suit room in the house, radiated complexity and in addition neatness and it silently distinguished the family as ascending in economic wellbeing (or it didn't). Be that as it may, lodging changed in the U.S. in the 1970's when individuals needed to convey what needs be, to have more decision, and they thought less about what visitors thought of them.
They thought more about designing their home with innovative and valuable living space. In any case, even today, most recently developed homes, and the ones worked before the 1970s, have family rooms. However, the family room (where the radio once refreshed, at that point the TV sat, and now the wide-screen television mounts upon a divider) for all intents and purposes focuses both the family and their visitors. Stimulation in the computerized age, not basic discussion, expects access to advanced substance (no formal attire fundamental or needed).
Mortgage holders started to redesign their lounge rooms into home workplaces, an exceptional room tucked away with a work area, a PC work station, and online access. At that point, the PC work station developed to wind up the wellspring of PC amusements and numerous previous lounges and workplaces wound up web based gaming rooms. Presently, neither figuring nor gaming require sequestering in a room. A tablet or a workstation empowers portable processing and a PDA empowers internet gaming.

Buhari endorses el-Rufai's report on restructuring — Osoba
lYour language on those calling for restructuring shabby, Clark tells Osoba
lCongratulates Osoba @ 80
By Henry Umoru & Johnbosco Agbakwuru
ABUJA—PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed the report on restructuring presented to him by the Governor Nasir el-Rufai-led All Progressives Congress, APC, committee.
Chief Olusegun Osoba
Osoba's son, Olumide wins House of Reps seat(Opens in a new browser tab)
Former governor of Ogun State, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, disclosed this to State House correspondents after meeting behind closed doors with the president at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday.
Osoba, who is a chieftain of APC, appealed to Nigerians, especially statesmen and other activists agitating for restructuring of the country, to be patient with the president and APC.
He said steps would be taken to get the National Assembly to start work on legalising the relevant aspects of the report.
Osoba, who is also a veteran journalist and former Managing Director of Daily Times, said he was at the State House to present his book, "Battlelines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics," to Buhari who featured prominently in it.
He said the ruling APC even had restructuring as devolution of powers from the Federal Government to states enshrined in its manifesto.
Osoba said: "I am part of the Presidency because the President is our President. I can tell you, all this noise about restructuring, we in APC put devolution of power, true federalism in our manifesto and we have moved far from there to where a committee was set up, headed by the governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai.
"That committee has submitted its report, that report has been presented to us in the caucus and the president was there. The president endorsed the outcome. I want Nigerians to please, give us time. I hope and pray that at the right time, the government or the party would send that report to National Assembly for debate.
"I will say with all authority that restructuring lies with National Assembly. The president is not a military president, he cannot change anything by decree. Sovereignty in Nigeria now is vested in the National Assembly.
"Those agitating for Sovereign National Conference, SNC, must go through the National Assembly and unless the National Assembly surrenders part of its powers by an Act, there can never be sovereign national conference."
On his relationship with Buhari
On his relationship with Buhari, the APC chieftain said: "The President and I have been close since the civil war days, he was a young officer, a lieutenant in the 1st Division, that started the civil war from Nsukka end and as fortune would have it, I followed the President to when he was a governor in the North eastern region and became the oil minister.
"From there on, he appointed me on June 12, 1984, as the Managing Director of Daily Times. It was the crowning peak of my professional life that prepared me for governance."
He noted that a portion of his latest book featured President Buhari riding on a train from the North to Ifo, Ogun State, to spend his holiday when he was in Form One (secondary school) in 1946.
Situation in Ogun
Osoba further briefed Buhari on the current situation in Ogun State, saying "I took the time to brief him on the efforts that the governor is making to ensure peace in the state. I have told him that Governor Dapo Abiodun is starting on a very good note.
"The President said he had given instruction that the Central Bank should give Ogun State maximum support in agriculture. On politics, I briefed him and told him that never again that incident (stoning of presidential entourage) that occurred in Ogun State would ever happen and he thanked me."
Your language on those calling for restructuring shabby, Clark tells Osoba
Meanwhile, elder statesman and former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, yesterday, said the language used by Osoba to describe those calling for restructuring of the country was shabby in nature.
In a statement he personally signed, Clark, who congratulated Osoba on his 80th birthday, said the question of restructuring remained the most patriotic discourse any lover of the country must key into.
The statement, entitled "Segun Osoba at 80; and the question of restructuring," read: "I wish to congratulate Chief Segun Osoba, former governor of Ogun State, on his 80th birthday, and book launch. I have always admired his courage and determination in his chosen profession – journalism, and later, politics.
"I knew Chief Osoba when he was a journalist, through late Babatunde Jose, who was my very good friend. He became Editor of Daily Times; later, in The Sketch and Herald newspapers. And, I believe that the experiences he garnered in the course of his journalism career, no doubt, contributed significantly to his success as governor of his dear state, Ogun, when his services were required by his people.
"I read Chief Osoba's comments during the launch of his book, entitled: "Battlelines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics," to mark his 80th birthday, he was reported to have described 'those shouting restructuring should realise that the power rests with the National Assembly. We have to rearrange our system. The El-Rufai report should be sent to the National Assembly. If anybody thinks Buhari can change anything by decree, it is not possible.
"Unfortunately, it is most uncharitable of Chief Osoba to refer to the agitators of the question of restructuring in such a shabby manner.
''Chief Osoba should be reminded that most of the people who have congregated under the Southern and Middle Belt Forum, SMBLF, were members of the 2014 National Conference of which he was a very active member
" By his level and pedigree, it was not expected of Chief Osoba to now advise President Muhammadu Buhari to send the El-Rufai Report to the National Assembly, reducing this all important subject of restructuring to a mere political-orientated El-Rufai Committee report, which was hurriedly produced on the eve of the 2019 elections, to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians."
