Church of St Mary, Bexley, Kent
The parish church of St Mary the Virgin has been a continuous place of Christian worship for over eight hundred years, and probably succeeded an earlier Saxon church on the same site. This earlier church was mentioned in the Domesday Survey in 1086 as a 'church in Bixle' where it is said that St Paulinus came to preach.
The parish at one time included four of the present neighbouring parishes. Today the congregation on Sundays is about one hundred at any one time, in an ecclesiastical parish of about five thousand people. This one time farming community is now completely surrounded by suburban south-east London.
The centre of Bexley still has village characteristics of which the residents are proud. The church sits on a relatively large site which is park-like in character. There are a variety of 17th to 19th century memorials contained both inside the church and in the churchyard.
There is also an adjacent cemetery which is now maintained by Bexley Council as a conservation area, and this area is where the burials below have taken place.
Those known to have been buried here:
Henry Reffell, burial date: 8/1886, age: 69

Approval granted for first Passivhaus standard school in Ayrshire
Posted on November 9, 2022 by NSC in Weekly News
North Ayrshire Council has approved plans for a new primary school at Montgomerie Park, Irvine, which will be built to Passivhaus standards.
The primary school will comprise 12 classrooms, early learning facilities, a gymnasium incorporating flexible performance areas, dining facilities and outdoor learning spaces including a 7-a-side all weather pitch.
hub South West Scotland has appointed Robertson Construction Central West as their Tier 1 delivery partner for this project on behalf of North Ayrshire Council.
Partly funded as part of the £2bn Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP) which focuses on delivering high quality, low carbon and digitally enabled learning environments, the new school will support sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
Councillor Shaun Macaulay, Cabinet Member for Education, said: "We are delighted that we have reached this milestone in what promises to be a fantastic learning environment for our young people. We are proud of our school estate across North Ayrshire and this modern, eco-friendly school we are striving to create in Irvine will be a huge asset to not only the pupils and families but also staff that work there.
"We look forward to work starting and ultimately the school opening in 2024. This significant investment reflects the Council's strong commitment to improving educational outcomes for our children and young people."
Works are due to commence in early 2023 with the school due to open in time for the academic year, commencing August 2024.

Once again I'm behind on blog posts, it's crazy to think these pictures were taken a little over a month ago. I'm really missing the cool Washington weather right now. It's so hot and dry in Utah, granted we've had a few rain showers the last couple weeks which have been nice. However, nothing compares to those cool summer days in Washington. I have a couple mama and baby style posts and some other pictures from our trip up North that I will be posting throughout this upcoming week and hopefully I can get all caught up and back in the swing of things.
First I want to talk about this skirt. This skirt is a recent buy from Nordstrom and it's very hard not to wear it everyday. It's a little bit on the expensive end (at least for me) but totally worth the price! It has a wide ruched waistband which sits right above my hips and is so incredibly comfortable. I love that it's fitted around the hips and more "flowy" towards the bottom. Whenever I'm doing housework I usually just knot it where the slit is. This skirt comes in 7 different colors and I'm highly considering buying the moss green one next time I go shopping.
I did some fall shopping for the upcoming cooler months and bought 3 different blouses from Nordstrom Rack for under $25, this being one of them. I'm a sucker for all things plaid and just couldn't leave the store without this shirt. I promised my husband that I would spend any more money on clothes for Zaden or I for at least a couple of weeks. I'm going to try and mix and match some of my recent buys with things we already have in our closets.
You two look adorable! I love the plaid with the maxi skirt, definitely want to try it out for fall! Hope you're having an amazing day!
It is a super cute skirt!! I love the whole outfit, and the rings too!

China puts finishing touches to world's biggest radio telescope
Five Hundred Metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, or Fast, is the size of 30 football fields and has been cut out of a mountain in Guizhou

Sun 3 Jul 2016 02.44 EDT
China has hoisted the final piece into position on what will be the world's largest radio telescope, which it will use to explore space and help in the hunt for extraterrestrial life.
The Five Hundred Metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, or Fast, is the size of 30 football fields and has been cut out of a mountain in the south-western province of Guizhou.
China's giant telescope represents its big ambitions for science
Scientists would start debugging and trials of the telescope, said Zheng Xiaonian, deputy head of the National Astronomical Observation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which built the telescope.
"The project has the potential to search for more strange objects to better understand the origin of the universe and boost the global hunt for extraterrestrial life," Zheng said, according to the Xinhua news agency.
The telescope, which has taken about five years to build, is expected to begin operations in September.
Advancing China's space programme is a priority for Beijing, with President Xi Jinping calling for the country to establish itself as a space power.

China's ambitions include putting an astronaut on the moon by 2036 and building a space station. It has begun work on the latter.
China insists its programme is for peaceful purposes but the US defence department has highlighted China's increasing space capabilities, saying it is pursuing activities aimed to prevent adversaries from using space-based assets in a crisis.

Allow Sylvester's soul to rest peacefully, Dowen College appeals
By Jesutomi Akomolafe
The management of Dowen College has appealed to those spreading malicious information against it over the death of its pupil, Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr) to "allow our dear Sylvester's soul rest peacefully in our Lord's arms."
Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr)
The school spoke following the release of two autopsy reports exonerating five of its students and five employees, linked to the 12-year-old's death on November 30.
It explained that it maintained silence throughout the six weeks after the "tragedy" because it wanted the experts – law enforcement agencies, the government and medical authorities, among others – to do their jobs and unearth the truth.
In a statement yesterday, the school regretted Oromoni's death, saying the longstanding integrity, values and processes the school worked tirelessly to maintain over the past 24 years were unfairly called to question and dragged through the mud.
Recalling the events of the past six weeks, the school said: "On the 30th of November, the Dowen College family was informed we had lost one of our own: Sylvester Oromoni. Sylvester was the fourth of his family to attend Dowen College and this loss came as a shock to the entire school community. Unfortunately, before we could grasp and process the reality of losing him, the school was met with a public outburst accusing five of our students of bullying, poisoning and cultism.
"The authorities directed that an autopsy be conducted and the report reveals that there was no bodily harm, no intoxication, but rather that the young boy suffered and died of pre-existing health conditions that had not been treated."
It noted that despite malicious accusations of complicity against some of its staff and students, the autopsy had revealed the truth. The school added: "Today the truth wins, our faith wins and our integrity wins. We pray that no school or organisation ever has to experience what we have been going through.
"We have maintained in our hearts and minds that compassion must override the instinct to defend ourselves, despite being tried viciously in the court of public opinion and social media. Our focus has been to work with the authorities in uncovering the whole truth regarding this matter and that is where our efforts have been.
"In the course of submitting ourselves to the investigations of the authorities, we have also kept silent and not assigned any blame to the accused children because we believe we must let the experts do their job and that they remain innocent until proven guilty, especially since our own preliminary investigations did not reveal their complicity in any untoward conduct."
In particular, the statement emphasized that the autopsy report "which is the product of the work of seven of the leading Pathologists in Nigeria, including one representing the Oromoni family from Delta State has shown that Sylvester had several chronic pre-existing health conditions.
"These health conditions cannot be fabricated or doctored. If there were contributory injuries from any bodily harm they would have been presented and stated. Dowen College is not covering up anything for any student or family."

A Fund may invest in one or more exchange-traded funds that invest in commodities or options, futures, or forwards with respect to commodities, and are treated as QPTPs for federal income tax purposes. As noted above, a Fund is limited to investing no more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of one or more QPTPs. Although income from QPTPs is generally qualifying income, if an ETF intending to qualify as a QPTP fails to so qualify and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a portion of its income may not be qualifying income. It is also possible that an ETF intending to qualify as a QPTP will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. In such a case, it will be potentially liable for an entity-level corporate income tax, which will adversely affect the return thereon. There can be no guarantee that any ETF will be successful in qualifying as a QPTP. In addition, there is little regulatory guidance concerning the application of the rules governing qualification as a QPTP, and it is possible that future guidance may adversely affect the qualification of ETFs as QPTPs. A Fund's ability to pursue an investment strategy that involves investments in QPTPs may be limited by that Fund's intention to qualify as a RIC, and may bear adversely on that Fund's ability to so qualify.

Caspian plans to add up to 40 additional trading platforms by Q3 of this year.
ProShare Advisors is also responsible for the general management and administration of each Subsidiary, pursuant to separate investment advisory and management agreements. Under those advisory and management agreements, ProShare Advisors provides each Subsidiary with the same type of services under essentially the same terms (except at no cost to such Subsidiary) as are provided for its respective Parent Fund.
Trustees, is of an adequate size to oversee the operations of the Trust, and that, in light of the small size of the Board, a complex Board leadership structure is not necessary or desirable. The relatively small size of the Board facilitates ready communication among the Board members, and between the Board and management, both at Board meetings and between meetings, further leading to the determination that a complex board structure is unnecessary. In view of the small size of the Board, the Board has concluded that designating one of the three Independent Trustees as the "lead Independent Trustee" would not be likely to meaningfully enhance the effectiveness of the Board. The Board reviews its leadership structure periodically and believes that its structure is appropriate to enable the Board to exercise its oversight of the Funds.

Still elsewhere, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, in a footnote, quoted me saying "Just because you mumble the word 'blockchain' doesn't make otherwise illegal things legal," which I hope is now an official CFTC position. And here is Tyler Cowen on bitcoin volatility and Siegel's paradox: "Volatility is a feature of Bitcoin, not a bug, and that is in part for reasons that have nothing to do with speculation or bubbliness, but rather follow from the contours of the utility function." And: "No, a Guy Didn't Scam $1 Million by Selling Chuck E. Cheese Tokens as Bitcoins."
However, there could be a transition stage in which volatility could actually become worse. Large financial trading firms could enter the market to an extent that has not been seen yet, and because bitcoin is so difficult to value (as Warren Buffet put it: "You can't value bitcoin because it's not a value-producing asset."), a lot of different forces will act on its price. Shorts will become more popular, and disagreements on pricing could manifest in the cryptocurrency markets in the form of extreme price jumps, more so than is already commonplace.
•	ETN Risk — The Fund is likely to obtain substantial exposure to the price movements of bitcoin by holding ETNs that provide exposure to the price of bitcoin. ETNs are unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities of an issuer that are listed and traded on a U.S. stock exchange. An ETN's returns are generally linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy minus applicable fees. ETNs do not provide principal protection and may or may not make periodic coupon payments. ETNs are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer cannot pay interest or repay principal when it is due. Additionally, the value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market (e.g., the commodities market), changes in interest rates or the issuer's credit rating, and other economic, legal, political or geographic events. The value of an investment in an ETN may be impacted by fees associated with the ETN. Structural aspects of the ETNs may impact their market value. Trading by affiliates of an ETN sponsor may create conflicts of interest. The issuer of an ETN may be unable to meet its obligations. The potential impact of Bitcoin Network forks on the value of a bitcoin ETN is unclear. ETNs issued by special purpose vehicles may include greater risk. ETNs are subject to risks associated with the underlying asset.
The Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF pays ProShare Advisors a fee at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets of 0.07%. ProShare Advisors has entered into an Advisory and Management Services Fee Waiver Agreement that waives this investment advisory fee for the Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF through at least October 31, 2018. Prior to this date, ProShare Advisors may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board.
The Funds may invest in bitcoin-based futures contracts, swap agreements, and options contracts, which are types of derivative contracts. A derivative refers to any financial instrument whose value is derived, at least in part, from the price of an underlying security, commodity, asset, rate, or index. The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying security, asset, rate or index. Gains or losses in a derivative may be magnified and may be much greater than the derivative's original cost. Because bitcoin-based derivatives were only recently introduced, the degree to which bitcoin-based derivatives are likely to provide exposure to movements in the price of bitcoin is extremely uncertain. If market participants executing trades in bitcoin-based derivatives face constraints, including capital constraints, security risks, or high execution costs with respect to direct investments in bitcoin, the price at which bitcoin-based derivatives trade may fail to capture price movements in the underlying price of bitcoin. Moreover, it is not clear how changes to the Bitcoin Network and determinations by any relevant derivatives exchange with respect to such changes to the Bitcoin Network will affect the value of any positions in bitcoin-based derivatives. [[In December 2015, the SEC proposed a new rule to regulate the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, such as the Fund. Whether and when this proposed rule will be adopted and its potential effects on the Fund are unclear as of the date of this Prospectus.]]
The Verge (XVG) technology revolves around providing an incredibly safe, private, and fast digital payment transactions – on an everyday basis. It offers all individuals and businesses a fast, efficient, and a decentralized option to make and receive direct payments in an average 5-second window per transaction. It runs on open-source technology, it is not a private company, and it isn't funded by pre-mined coins. This is one of the reasons why people are so excited about it, all of its development, marketing, and other endeavors are completely done by the community – for the community.
This can serve two purposes; firstly, CFDs are a regulated financial product which means the brokers who offer them should be licensed by a regulatory authority. The brokers we review are all regulated by reputable financial regulatory bodies, offering varying degrees of protection for your money – from ensuring it is held in a segregated bank account to participation in compensation schemes should the broker become insolvent. There are, of course, criminal CFD brokers operating outside the law so you should do your homework before depositing!
Individual shares of the Fund will be listed for trading on [the Exchange] and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market price of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund's holdings, supply and demand for shares, and other market factors. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether the Fund's shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund's holdings. Differences between secondary market prices and NAV, the value of the Fund's holdings, may be due largely to supply and demand forces in the secondary market, which may not be the same forces as those influencing prices for securities or financial instruments held by the Fund at a particular time. Given the fact that the Fund's shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the value of the Fund's holdings should not be sustained.
Disclaimer: Unlike security options, CFE futures contracts (other than security futures) cannot be held in a securities account and are required to be held in a futures account. CFE security futures contracts may be held in either a futures account or a securities account. In order to assist those customers that wish to consider a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), Introducing Broker (IB), or clearing firm in order to trade CFE futures contracts, we have assembled the above list of FCMs, IBs, and clearing firms offering CFE futures products.
Distributions are taxable whether shareholders receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares. Distributions are also taxable to shareholders even if they are paid from income or gains earned by a Fund before a shareholder's investment (and thus were included in the price the shareholder paid for the Fund shares). Investors should be careful to consider the tax implications of buying shares of a Fund just prior to a distribution. The price of shares purchased at this time will include the amount of the forthcoming distribution, but the distribution will generally be taxable.
The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Further, stocks in the Index may underperform other equity investments. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease.
Maintenance Margin - this is the % of the position value you have to have in your account at the very minimum to avoid being Margin Called. In some exchanges, margin call will mean you get notified and must deposit more margin to avoid liquidation (like CryptoFacilities). On other exchanges you will at this point be liquidated out of your position. So if maintenance margin is 5%, then the 0.05 BTC of your initial margin will need to be kept for the position to be alive.
R-1 (high) – Short term debt rated "R-1 (high)" is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity which possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability which is both stable and above average. Companies achieving an "R-1 (high)" rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the extremely tough definition which DBRS has established for an "R-1 (high)", few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating.
In determining its net capital gain, including in connection with determining the amount available to support a Capital Gain Dividend (as defined below), its taxable income and its earnings and profits, a RIC generally may elect to treat part or all of late-year ordinary loss (generally, its net ordinary loss attributable to the portion of the taxable year after December 31) as if incurred in the succeeding taxable year.
Taking their prices from bitcoin futures, the swaps will not handle bitcoin directly. Seeing as Morgan Stanley is a regulated and established financial institution, tying the product to futures contracts is a safer bet than basing them on bitcoin's spot price, as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Exchange offer fully-regulated bitcoin futures from which Morgan Stanley can pool pricing data.
While Ethereum focuses on dapps and Ripple on ultra-fast finances, Monero focuses on – privacy! This technology actually uses cryptography to protect all incoming and outgoing addresses, as well as the transmitted amounts. Monero is an all-in-one solution for all privacy enthusiasts, and as such, it holds tremendous potential for great success in the crypto world. Monero is my favourite coin.
The Global Listed Private Equity ETF and the Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF each pay ProShare Advisors a fee at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets of 0.50%. The Inflation Expectations ETF pays ProShare Advisors a fee at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets of 0.55%. The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF pays ProShare Advisors a fee at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets of 0.65%. ProShare Advisors manages the investment and the reinvestment of the assets of each of the Funds in accordance with the investment objectives, policies, and limitations of the Fund, subject to the general supervision and control of the Trustees and the Officers of the Trust.

To assist the Advisor in its responsibility for voting proxies and the overall proxy voting process, the Advisor has retained Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") as an expert in the proxy voting and corporate governance area. ISS is a subsidiary of Vestar Capital Partners VI, L.P., a leading U.S. middle market private equity firm specializing in management buyouts and growth capital investments. The services provided by ISS include in-depth research, global issuer analysis and voting recommendations as well as vote execution, reporting and record keeping. ISS issues quarterly reports for the Advisor to review to assure proxies are being voted properly. The Advisor and ISS also perform spot checks intra-quarter to match the voting activity with available shareholder meeting information. ISS's management meets on a regular basis to discuss its approach to new developments and amendments to existing policies. Information on such developments or amendments in turn is provided to the Proxy Committee. The Proxy Committee reviews and, as necessary, may amend periodically the Guidelines to address new or revised proxy voting policies or procedures.
Interest Rate Risk — The Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury securities and is subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities may fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. The value of securities with longer maturities may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary

To avoid the tax, each Fund must distribute during each calendar year an amount generally equal to the sum of (1) at least 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) at least 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31
The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in U.S. large capitalization equity securities and bitcoin futures contracts. The Fund is designed to benefit when the prices of U.S. large capitalization equity securities and bitcoin futures contracts increases. The Fund generally seeks to have 70% of the value of its portfolio invested in the equity securities of the 500 largest U.S. public companies and 30% of the value of its portfolio invested in bitcoin futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin.
You'll find that different exchanges cater to different markets. Today, most countries have at least one cryptocurrency exchange specializing in their own currency. There are exchanges that can accept New Zealand Dollars in exchange for bitcoin, for example. Other exchanges are known for certain pairs. Bithumb, for example, has particularly strong liquidity in the ETH/KRW (South Korean Won) pair at the moment (and it's easily the most popular cryptocurrency exchange in Korea).
The CME considers a hard fork of the Bitcoin Blockchain where both forks continue to be actively mined and traded but may not be fungible with each other, as an unusual and extreme circumstance. As such, CME provides that Crypto Facilities Ltd. (CME's administrator) shall be responsible for recommending the necessary actions and responses to ensure the relevance and integrity of the Bitcoin Pricing Products.
Certain of a Fund's investments in derivative instruments and foreign currency-denominated instruments, and any of a Fund's transactions in foreign currencies and hedging activities, are likely to produce a difference between its book income and its taxable income. If such a difference arises, and a Fund's book income is less than its taxable income, the Fund could be required to make distributions exceeding book income to qualify as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment. In the alternative, if a Fund's book income exceeds its taxable income (including realized capital gains), the distribution (if any) of such excess generally will be treated as (i) a dividend to the extent of the Fund's remaining earnings and profits (including earnings and profits arising from tax-exempt income), (ii) thereafter, as a return of capital to the extent of the recipient's basis in its shares, and (iii) thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset.
FOREIGN SOVEREIGN, SUB-SOVEREIGN, QUASI SOVEREIGN AND SUPRANATIONAL SECURITIES. The Funds may invest in fixed-rate debt securities issued by: non-U.S. governments (foreign sovereign bonds); local governments, entities or agencies of a non-U.S. country (foreign sub-sovereign bonds); corporations with significant government ownership ("Quasi-Sovereigns"); or two or more central governments or institutions (supranational bonds). These types of debt securities are typically
The Fund generally does not expect to invest directly in futures contracts, option contracts and swap agreements ("Bitcoin Instruments"). The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investments by investing a portion of its assets in the ProShares Cayman Short Bitcoin Futures Strategy Portfolio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is advised by ProShare Advisors, the Fund's investment advisor, and invests directly in Bitcoin Instruments. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund's investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodity markets related to bitcoin in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Fund will invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Except as otherwise noted, references to the Fund's investment strategies and risks include the investment strategies and risks of the Subsidiary.
As we have seen above, a futures contract has an expiration date. This is the date on which you can purchase the ton of pork bellies for 1,000 USD – this is called a physical settlement. Alternatively, futures contracts can be settled with cash as well. In these contracts, you receive the difference between the current price of the underlying asset and the price in your contract as cash.


A charity which supports children with disabilities is being investigated after complaints from families.
The Charity Commission said it had opened an inquiry into Bristol-based Darren Wright Foundation over families' concerns in "accessing funds".
It said other complaints included "difficulties" in communicating with the foundation which the commission had "also experienced".
The charity said it "looked forward to working with the commission on this".
The Charity Commission said it had "engaged with the charity" in August following complaints from members of the public, which included the "families of beneficiaries of the charity".
It said difficulties in communicating with the charity led to the opening the inquiry to examine the "administration, governance and management of the charity by the trustees".
The commission "stressed that opening an inquiry is not in itself a finding of wrongdoing".
A spokesman for the Darren Wright Foundation said: "We have been aware of the Charity Commission's intentions to open an inquiry and have opened dialogue with them several days ago in response to this, and hope that the outcome is positive for all concerned."
He added the foundation was "aware of the communication issues with families".
The Darren Wright Foundation aims to help families of disabled and seriously-ill children by funding therapy, medical treatment and specialist equipment.


Real Madrid are not behind Barcelona president Bartomeu's claims that a"mano negra", which quite means literally "black hand" translated as a "hidden hand", "something fishy" or "something untoward" is behind the troubles that the Catalan giants are experiencing at the moment.
Most of the attention this weekend is focused on the three horse race which the Spanish League has turned into. Barça and Atlético Madrid play at home and Real Madrid are away to Real Sociedad with all three teams desperate to pick up points and head for the home straight of La Liga.
However, the main talking point is the mess that Barcelona have found themselves embroiled in. FIFA have banned the Blaugrana club for 14 months for the continuing breach of regulations regarding the signing of young stars.
Barcelona's president Josep Maria Bartomeu made a statement yesterday denying any wrongdoing by the club and in the process adding fuel to the fire by saying that "an anonymous complaint" was received by FIFA by someone who wanted to damage the reputation or "tarnish" the club, which the Madrid press has construed to be a hint that someone with links to the merengue club is behind this whole affair.
One of the headlines on the front cover of Marca today reads: "Canta y no llores" which literally means "Sing and don't cry" and is a Spanish proverb or saying also used in a Mexican Mariachi song called "Cielito Lindo".
As we have said this week, we hope Bartomeu is the right man for the job. It's not really good that a club's president should blame others for his own entity's mistakes and just adds to the problem in my opinion. There's no need for Bartomeu to go on a mud slinging outing when he should concentrate on getting his own house in order first. Barcelona are behind you Bartomeu so don't let this episode bring the club's impeccable reputation into disrepute. the best thing to do is to keep quiet and sort the club's affairs out.

The rash can be anything (or nothing, as implied above). Usually you'd see a classic morbilliform drug exanthem. Morbilliform means "measles-like," which to a dermatologist means 3-4 mm pink-red papules that coalesce into plaques. Note the lack of the word: maculopapular!
So how do you actually diagnose it? Literature time!
I find this scoring system a little clunky, but helpful mainly in borderline cases.
Personally, I always feel the patient's clinical picture trumps any score I can calculate.
How long after drug initiation might DRESS occur?
Interestingly, DRESS's time course is much later than other drug eruptions! The common culprits we think of for DRESS include anti-epileptics, antibiotics, allopurinol, antipsychotics, and anti-retrovirals (think of the As!). Dose increases of old drugs can cause DRESS too!
Treatment starts with stopping the offending agent. Other than supportive care, systemic steroids are the usual treatment of choice. Definitely call your @dermhospitalist for help with management, as other immunosuppressive agents can be used in refractory cases.
Daily DRESS labs should be trended for improvement on therapy. Patients get into trouble with severe liver and cardiac involvement, and further management is individualized. Steroid tapers for DRESS can be long, and thyroid disease can be a late sequelae.
There's more that can be said, so another reminder that I'll be discussing these topics at the @SHMlive meeting! If anything, I hope everyone has a newfound respect for DRESS, and will see us in dermatology as partners in treating this disease!
And as a clear novice on this platform, I can't believe I left off the answer to the second poll! DRESS usually manifests 3-6 weeks after drug initiation! Phew! Sorry about the omission, but hope this #FOAMed tweetorial was still helpful!
[THREAD] So, there's a syndicate of crooks in #Kenya who have been cloning vehicle registration plates, and using random vehicles to commit crimes.
A few months ago, i had tweeted about being paid a visit at my place of business by two smartly dressed plain-clothes police officers and a Chinese national.
They said that they had "evidence" that a vehicle registered to me was involved in a house-breaking in Kilimani.
He compares radio interviews to kale: you probably don't like it/them the first time, but then you know it's good for you and eventually come to like it/them.
Is this the reality of #medtwitter??

The Food Innovation Global Mission (FIGM), the official mission sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, has reached the final stages of the prolific edition 2018, bringing the 16 researchers of the Food Innovation Program (FIP) to the cities of Shanghai (where they stopped for the fifth stage), Bangkok and Mumbai (divided into two delegations for the sixth and final stages). In the three Asian metropolises, students continued to discover different realities and to study them around the 4 research themes of the entire Global Mission: Future of Proteins, Food Care and the Future of Food Services, Scalable Sustainability, and Circular Systems and Agro-innovation and Smart Cities.
The activities of the Shanghai delegation started officially on June 23rd, when researchers participated first in a Tea Ceremony, where they learned how to derive the best parts of the tea leaves and combine this ancient art with the movements of Tai Chi.
After this first experience, the students immediately immersed themselves in the reality of Shanghai by visiting various restaurants and activities in the Asian metropolis, all with different concepts. The group visited the restaurant Ultraviolet (which fuses food with innovative multi-sensorial technologies) and the Starbucks Reserve Roastery (the first location in the world to have implemented augmented reality programs that show the creation of coffee). They met with Google's headquarters, to share the projects and discoveries during the Global Mission and learned about the commitment of the American company to provide its employees with healthy food and nutritious dishes during the work days. There was also a visit by the delegation to Hema (a supermarket chain that is part of the Alibaba Group that exploits technological innovation, marrying the opportunities of traditional purchasing with those of the most advanced online commerce).
industry and on world gastronomic heritage. Roberto Pagani, delegate of the Italian Consulate Science and Technology sector in Shanghai, said about this project: "The innovative food design program will have to intensify sustainable growth and cooperation between countries based on cultural exchanges and social inclusion".
The second university day, in contrast, was a moment of reflection and consolidation of ideas about the Chongming island: the researchers, with the Polytechnic of Turin and the students of the ECNU, developed the project COOK TOGETHER (the idea that links the development of local communities to the issues of environmental and food sustainability).
delegation also had the opportunity within this Forum to see urban and sustainable horticulture projects initiated by teachers and school children at the Hangzhou Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School.
The team also had the opportunity to visit with the food service team at Shanghai Disney Resort. The evening ended with a dinner at Pure and Whole together with the founder of this healthy living restaurant, Frank Steffen. It is a pioneer project for Shanghai, founded by expats inspired by Buddhist cuisine and by the desire to nurture the consumer in a sustainable way with great attention to health, without forgetting pleasure and taste, fundamental components when it comes to food. Important were the insights on the future of agriculture obtained from the meeting with two other important protagonists: Cambio Coffee (a collective that supports small farmers, cooperatives in production and direct trade of coffee carrying out research in the field of blockchain applied to the supply chain) and Rainbow of Hope (a community based on permaculture, planning for eco-sustainable human settlement systems, based on the centrality of agriculture and on particular attention to the territory). Another meeting was with CBI, China Bridge, an innovation, and design company. CBI are pioneers and leaders in the Chinese market with a myriad of collaborations in the food and beverage world.
During the stage in Shanghai, FFI participated in a Digital Meetup moved "virtually" to Piazza Affair in Milan, linking up with Digital Influence & Innovation Day. This event, led by the Italian-German Chamber of Commerce (AHK Italien) featured Claudia Laricchia, Head of Institutional Relations and Global Strategic Partnerships of the Future Food Institute. She presented a case together with Barilla Legumotti (beans made from legume and high protein flour).

Navy Veteran Feared Homelessness before Moving into Operation Homefront Village
By Operation Homefront
As a teenager, whenever Martez Davis envisioned his future, he saw a family. A wife and kids. He wanted a career that would give him the stability and benefits to take care of that family. He found that in the Navy, enlisting in 2011 and expecting to complete a full military career.
Martez was stationed in Japan in 2015 then Bahrain in 2016, where, two years later, he suffered an aortic aneurysm. During surgery he lost a lot of blood and that loss caused paralysis from the chest down. His military career was over and in 2019 he was facing medical discharge without knowing where he and his grandmother Benethia, who is also his caretaker, would be living.
He heard about Operation Homefront's Transitional Housing Villages (Villages) program while at Brooke Army Medical Center moved into the Texas Village in San Antonio in July 2019. Service members and their families participate in support groups and workshops, and receive individualized financial counseling to ensure their success as they move forward. Families do not pay rent or utilities on their furnished apartments.
Martez and his grandmother both got support they needed and to help them with Martez's transition. He was able to save enough money to buy a house in San Antonio and have it modified for his wheelchair. He and Benethia moved out of the Village and into his new house in March.
"Definitely I would want to say thank you," Martez said. "I have a lot of thanks to give to the people who donate to this program. They are literally the family that people would expect to help you when you get back. But not everyone has that family or family might not be in a position to help."
Martez said he was worried about becoming homeless.
"I was at a split road," he said about where he might end up without Operation Homefront Villages. "I myself felt like I was looking at, well, you may not know how, but maybe, if something or someone helps out you can get your own house and not be a paralyzed homeless vet and I found that help. (Donors) are giving people a couple extra pieces of paper to keep writing their story."
Benethia attended a caregiver support group and learned tips on how to support Martez.
"I would just like to say, I'm 73 years old and we knew nobody in Texas and Operation Homefront was just awesome," she said. "It was a safe haven for us to come to."

Next From MONI – Lets Refugees to Receive Salaries In Finland
Jan Ameri March 24, 2016
Finnish fintech startup MONI is taking important steps in helping refugees, while preparing for a public launch and for an A round investment. Their successful pilot has grown fast and new ways of solving everyday problems of asylum seekers have been created and put in place in close (and fast!) co-operation with the Finnish government.
From 10 to 3500+ MONI cards
When we covered MONI last December, it had just delivered first ten MONI cards to the piloting refugees. By the New Year the number was 600 cards. Today, just a couple of months later, over 3500 cards have been distributed. That equals to over 10% of annual asylum seekers in Finland having received their cards and using them in their daily life. MONI has made the user interface available also in Arabic. Farsi and Somali are in works.
In addition to receiving the monthly government allowance, refugees can now also receive salary payments on their MONI cards. The startup has been able to reach an agreement with the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) to experiment with salary payments to existing MONI accounts using Migri's digital identification system, where vetted and approved Finnish employers can pay salaries to the MONI Prepaid MasterCards given to the refugees. This is a significant step towards integrating the asylum seekers into the Finnish society, as traditional banks will not open accounts for those without passports as they need to "know their customer". When a refugee has been in Finland for three to six months, he or she is entitled to apply for a work permit, but who would want to hire a person you would have to pay salary in cash?
First salary payment to a MONI card has already been done, and more will follow. Finland's biggest human resources provider Barona just announced that they have hired three Eritrean workers who after four months wait got their work permits in February. They are first ones of 50 expected participants to join the work program from Luona Oy's reception centres, where MONI cards are used for salary payments.
"The Finnish Immigration Service launched the prepaid card experiments with MONI last year. We have now tested the card distribution process, sought to understand the risks and the required practice with respect to these new processes. We have been able to verify the assumptions that by using prepaid cards we can build a safer and more cost-effective process. The feedback received from the reception centres has been excellent and extending the experiment to all reception centres is now impatiently expected. We have also tested the salary payment process for the asylum seekers who have gotten jobs and found out that also this process can be done more effectively by means of a prepaid card than it is possible to do now," says Jouko Salonen from Migri.
As MONI is using the latest technologies, the account is highly customizable and features can be switched on and off easily. This is important as Migri and Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) have set very specific limits on how the refugees can use their accounts. They cannot transfer money outside Finland or make payments to other than Finnish bank accounts or in Finland. Now this kind of customization is virtually impossible for traditional banks, it would take them months or even years to implement such features.
"The refugee solution sets a very challenging environment for banking products since the situation changes all the time and each participant in the project is looking to optimize the process even further. When problems arise, it's very important for us to be able to react very fast. The micro banking platform that MONI has built from scratch and with the most modern tools allows us to do not only this, but also extremely rapid way to develop new features for the refugees, refugee center employees and immigration service," said Antti Pennanen, Founder and CEO of MONI.
One major element in integrating into the society is of course ability to work and earn a salary and pay your taxes. The Ministry of Employment and Economy (MEE) estimates that just 10,000 out of over 30,000 refugees will get residency permits.
Startup co-operation
MONI has been discussing with various local startups on how to get things moving faster, as the previously mentioned government ways are not the most fast and agile ways for refugees to enter the job market. Supporting and facilitating micro-entrepreneurship could be they key, and MONI tells us that moppi.com (cleaning services), ukko.fi (freelancer invoicing) and fave.fi (helpers via instant messaging) are very interested to jump in. Payments from all these services can be directed to a MONI account. Surely there are many other startups who could chip in and offer jobs to asylum seekers. If your startup is one of them, let us know in the comments.
"Startup companies working together can find smart solutions re-engineering the refugee situation for everyone's benefit. The refugees don't claim asylum, they claim the right to become a contributor to the society and this is what we all want to enable," said Pennanen.
While MONI is ramping things up ahead of their launch to offer MONI card and account services to "normal" users, they have expanded their Advisory Board to include former CitiGroup CTO Yobie Benjamin, Jolla founder Antti Saarnio and OnApp CEO of Retail & Federation Bernino Lind.
''I am extremely happy to have these three gentlemen on board. Yobie has a long-running history in banking and he is currently CTO of token.io, a company providing digital payment solutions for banks to comply with the PSD2 regulation, Antti has vast experience in mobile carrier integrations and doing business in emerging markets, and Bernino's OnApp Federation is the world's largest cloud with over 170 locations paving the way for the truly decentralised future. Their expertise is invaluable in supporting our growth plans,'' said Pennanen.
Also Fortune magazine noted MONI in their latest issue. Rumors are strong that MONI is preparing for an A round investment, so we expect to have more big news from them in the near future.

The Nordic countries have adopted ambitious energy and climate goals, in some cases even beyond EU targets, to reduce carbon emissions and the dependence of fossil fuels. In the effort to achieve these goals, a lot can be gained from Nordic and international collaboration. With this call for planning grants, Nordic Energy Research aspires to facilitate this process by bringing researchers and other relevant actors together, and support them in the planning of proposals for international calls.
Nordic Energy Research is seeking innovative, high-quality, cross-disciplinary pre-proposals on topics of relevance to corresponding international calls, such as the EU programme Horizon 2020 (e.g. Energy efficiency, Smart and clean energy for consumers), initiatives related to the EU (e.g. ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems, SOLAR-ERA.NET) or other relevant calls with themes regarding renewable energy, energy systems, sustainable energy transition and similar topics in the energy area.
The total funding available for this call is NOK 800 000, and each pre-proposal may at a maximum apply for a planning grant of NOK 50 000.
Incoming applications will be assessed continuously and successful pre-proposals will receive funding shortly after they have been approved. The call closes when the total available funding has been distributed, or no later than 30 November 2018 14:00 CET.

When using deferred shading, you must implement your own anti-aliasing techniques. The easiest, though also one of the slowest, ways of obtaining anti-aliasing with polygon rasterisation is multi-sampling. Multi-sampling is where you render the scene in the normal manner to a off-screen buffer at a larger resolution than the scene and then down-sample (merge multiple samples) and render back onto the screen.
The canvas below is rendered using multi-sampling - the scene is first rendered at twice the resolution to a framebuffer and then the framebuffer is rendered to a screen plane. There are multiple ways you could render and sample the scene from the screen plane. The simplest would be to enable linear sampling on the TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER attribute of the texture bound to the framebuffer and let the gpu sample the scene for us. In this demo, I have used a shader to sample the scene in a custom manner by averaging the pixel with its three neighbours in the positive x/y directions.

I just ran into a woman I know who is planning on hiking the Appalachian trail this coming year, starting in March. To see her doing training walks like I did last year, to hear her making plans and see her excitement mixed with the unknown, it makes me very nostalgic. So, I just quickly wanted to say, because it's the time of year when people start to seriously get ready for their thru-hike, to all of you out there getting ready to embark: good luck. The AT isn't for everyone but if you can stick it out, if you can fight through the pain and weather and bugs and terrain you will come out the other end so enriched. From someone who has done it, don't give up, even when everything seems futile, just remember how lucky and free and unencumbered you are and keep going! It is so worth it in the end. And here is another snippet of our hike, a hilarious video of Kyle dancing whilst hiking that he will be very embarrassed about when he finds out I have posted it online. Enjoy.
I think I even like you more, if that is possible, after watching this unencumbered, free spirited, grooving guy.
You sure have the moves Kyle!!!

Traktor Kontrol F1 & Traktor 2.5 unveiled
Native Instruments have announced details of the latest addition to the Traktor Kontrol family, the F1, along with a major update to the Traktor 2 software.
Touted by Native Instruments as the "ultimate remix controller", the F1 works in conjunction with the Traktor software's latest update, which adds "Remix Decks" to Traktor's standard virtual decks. These can be controlled like regular track decks, allowing the user switch between up to 64 tracks, loops and one-shot samples on each deck. The F1 controller allows full control over this new element, with each controller allowing control of four of these remix decks at a time, with four faders, four filter knobs, and sixteen multi-colour pads for triggering samples, as demonstrated in the video below.
Of course the idea of sample based DJing is nothing new – people have been using Ableton and other systems for years to do much the same thing, but Traktor seem to have put a bit more thought into integrating it with a well designed interface. Visual feedback is obviously a key part of this – changing sample pad colour on the hardware will update the software to display the same colour, something that makes the F1 stand out among the competition. The remix deck slots can also be routed through Traktor's FX units, and the controller also comes with 4GB of samples and loops to sweeten the deal, spanning all the genres you would expect.
The Kontrol F1 will be released on May 30, 2012, at a suggested retail price of $279/€249. Traktor 2.5 will also be made available on May 30, as a free upgrade to existing Traktor 2 users.


A step by step procedure in order to initiate Bitcoin Cash mining.
Due to the scalability issues with respect to Bitcoin, a number of hard forks were initiated. According to estimates, there are approximately more than 30 various hard forks of Bitcoin. As a result of which, a number of cryptocurrency coins proved to become a partial alternative for Bitcoin, but it is clearly evident that no cryptocurrency coin has been able to reach anywhere near Bitcoin too. Due to the improvements in Bitcoin, these forks have also been widely accepted by the cryptocurrency community. However, apart from cryptocurrency investments and day trading, there are a number of other methods to earn profits too. Cryptocurrency Mining is one such method. It is a process of solving complex mathematical problems by the Brute Force computations in order to add a block of transactions to the blockchain. Let us understand Bitcoin Cash Mining and how it works.
Bitcoin Cash was originated in August 2017 as a Bitcoin fork, which basically increased the block size in order to compensate more number of transactions and indirectly increasing the overall efficiency. This particular cryptocurrency aims to replace most popular forms of digital payment which is PayPal and VISA. The current block reward for Bitcoin cash mining is around 12.5 BCH along with the transaction fees of all the transactions within that block is also received by the miner.
Let us all understand the prerequisites and the process of Bitcoin cash mining.
1. It is automatically understood that Bitcoin cash mining requires some kind of hardware equipments. Therefore, a huge amount of initial investment is required in this process of Bitcoin cash mining. Hence and needs to calculate the profits that can be extracted from the mining process. There are a number of online Bitcoin cash mining profitability calculator available in the market. they can effectively be used in order to optimize the profits or for the user to experience reality, with respect to his Bitcoin cash mining. However, it is highly crucial that the profitability calculator also considers the cost of the hardware pieces of equipment along with the electricity rates of the geographical location.
2. The difference must be kept in mind that in the case of Bitcoin, the block size used to be 1MB, but in the case of Bitcoin cash mining, the block size is 8 times bigger. Therefore more amount of calculation is required which would, in turn, consume a huge amount of electricities. Therefore one needs to assure themselves about the initiative of Bitcoin cash mining.
3. Once the miner has a clear understanding of Bitcoin Cash mining, he or she needs a Bitcoin Cash wallet in order to store the profits that they would be availing from the process. it is highly preferred that the user chooses to buy a hardware or a paper wallet over the web-based wallet, as they are one of the most secure forms of wallet.
4. The next step is to take a call between mining solely or to join the Bitcoin Cash mining pool. There are a number of consequences with respect to both the decisions. If the user wishes to keep all the block reward to himself then mining solely would be a preferred option but there are lesser chances of extracting profits from this method. On the other hand, if he chooses to join a Bitcoin Cash mining pool then the profit gets distributed among the members but the chances or probability of solving the complex mathematical problem is higher in this case.
5. Bitcoin cash mining completely on their own requires expensive mining equipment but joining a mining pool also has its downsides. One must do an effective background check on the mining pool that they are looking forward to joining, as many of them turn out to be fake. the users also need to extensively go through the list of terms and conditions and most importantly their payout structure.
6. Even Bitcoin cash mining uses Proof of Work consensus mechanism. Therefore they cannot be mined on simple processing devices as a consequence of which, Application Specific Integrated Circuits have come into the picture.
7. Some of the most popular Bitcoin Cash mining pools available in the industry are Bitcoin.com, BTC.com, F2Pool, ViaBTC, BitClub, BTC.top, AntPool, etc.
Once the whole setup is ready, Bitcoin Cash mining process is initiated and the respective amount of reward is reflected in their cryptocurrency wallet.

Really, the only useful information in this article is to list some of the Bitcoin Cash mining pools. There is no hardware information or discussion of the difficulty.

Missouri House launches effort to create bond proposal
January 24, 2013 By Mike Lear
The effort to create a bonding proposal in the House is afoot.
House Speaker Tim Jones (at podium) announces the filing of his bonding proposal along with (from left) Budget Chairman Rick Stream, Representative Chris Kelly and Representative Lincoln Hough. (Photo courtesy; Tim Bommel, Missouri House Communications)
A bipartisan effort has been announced to create what proponents bill as potentially the biggest jobs package in state history. House Speaker Tim Jones (R-Eureka) says what it would support and other details must be worked out by a committee he has created.
"The bonds, if they're approved, would of course have to be submitted to the voters for final approval but our suggestion would be at the outset we would look at financing construction at college campuses, repairs at state mental health institutions and office buildings and as I mentioned, perhaps even this could be one of the components for our transportation needs."
Jones says a bonding proposal would be a jobs package.
"We can actually put people to work almost immediately because, as I mentioned, these projects are on the books. All the institutions I mentioned simply revamp their project wish list every year and they're ready to go as soon as the General Assembly puts something on the ballot which would hopefully be supported by a majority of Missourians.
78 representatives have signed on as co-sponsors of the proposal with both Republicans and Democrats among that number.
Read the plan that's been filed, HJR 14.
At the top of the co-sponsor list is Representative Chris Kelly (D-Columbia) who Jones appointed to head the committee that will hammer out the House's proposal.
Kelly says it will begin with the same 950 million dollar plan that has been filed in the Senate.
"Where it goes is going to be an organic process that our committee, the budget committee and ultimately the floor will work on. The Speaker has instructed us to find a way to deal with the transportation issues … we don't have all the answers for him yet but working with the committee members, we're going to try to find the answers and try to fit these two things together appropriately."
The Fulton state hospital is likely to be a target for part of the proceeds. Representative Jeanie Riddle (R-Mokane) says rather than try to update what's there, a new facility is needed.
"Building a new hospital will change the dynamics of what it's costing the state right now in utility costs because it's a very old building, in staffing costs because we have the long hallways and the dynamics of the building would be vastly different now with today's policies, and with workmen's injuries … the employees and the injuries that they are incurring there."
The cost of a new, modern mental health facility to replace the Fulton hospital is estimated at $211 million.
Jones says he doesn't want to rush the process, adding he hopes to see a compromise reached with the Senate by the end of the 2014 session.
