A recently proposed rule to increase state involvement in the process for the listing of new species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) could reshape how the listing process affects farmers, landowners, and environmental permit applicants. On Monday, May 18th, the Secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell, announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service (Services) would propose new rules governing how outside groups petition the federal government to review the listing status of plants and animals under the ESA. These proposed changes in the listing process would provide a greater role for state wildlife agencies by requiring petitioners (usually environmental advocates) to obtain state officials' views before asking the Services to review the status of a given species.
Section 9 imposes potential liability on any person who harms a listed species or its habitat.
The Services can list species on their own initiative. More frequently, however, an outside group petitions either of the Services to list a species. Those outside-group petitions are the subject of the recently proposed rule.
In deciding whether to list a species, the Services is prohibited from considering economic factors. Instead—ever since a 1982 amendment—decisions must be "based solely on the best scientific and commercial data available." 16 U.S.C. §1355(b)(1)(A).
If approved, the proposed Service regulations would add a new requirement to the listing process and shape future listing outcomes by requiring environmental advocates to work with or at least consult state officials as a condition of petitioning the Services. Adoption of these proposed changes could refocus the strategies of environmental activists and alter the legal risks and uncertainties associated with undertaking any land or resource development, environmental permitting action, or natural resource use or extraction.
The proposed changes to the listing process were quickly criticized by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), which is an active and frequent petitioner under the existing rules. CBD claimed the new regulations, if approved, would burden concerned citizen groups and make it less likely that "wildlife on the brink of extinction" would be protected. By contrast, some fish and wildlife professionals were more receptive and welcomed the use of data and information from state fish and wildlife agencies in shaping listing petitions.
The ESA has been the subject of many controversies over the last 20 years. In the current Congress, for instance, House and Senate Republicans have introduced dozens of measures and amendments packed with legislative changes to the ESA to improve the law, emphasize state participation, protect landowners, shape the listing process, restrict, or repeal the law. Thus far, the Obama Administration has not supported legislative changes to the ESA. But these new proposed policies might help assuage Republican concerns while averting wholesale changes to the ESA.

Posted on October 24, 2018 October 25, 2018 by Kathryn Capone - No Comments on Can I Identify As More Than One Thing?
Can I Identify As More Than One Thing?
The passage I chose was from "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland," by Lewis Carroll. I chose this because I thought the interaction between Alice and the Pigeon provided a lot of interesting ideas about identity. A question the passage raises is, "Is it possible to identify as more than one, singular thing?" At first, Alice was strongly arguing that she's a little girl and the Pigeon was strongly arguing that she's a serpent. Both were maybe right, but she clearly wasn't fully either. The word, "identity," means "sameness, oneness, state of being the same." This is what identity means in the real world, but everything in Wonderland always the opposite, so she's not used to the idea that her identity could change. Alice was arguing that she was still a little girl, even with the number of changes she had gone through that day. Hence, it is important to her that her identity stays the same; she is still holding onto the idea of being a little girl. This reflects her opposition to change, as she completely denies that she may be a serpent. She's unwilling to look at the new facts presented to her, her appearance, and adjust to those new changes.
This question comes to be because the serpent suggests that she may be a little girl, but she's definitely a type of serpent. When Alice argues that little girls also eat eggs, he responds, "if they do, why they're a kind of serpent, that's all I can say." With the Pigeon characterizing her as both a little girl and a type of serpent, that can help to answer the question that has been raised here because the Pigeon is suggesting that she can be a little girl and a type of serpent at the same time. Alice ponders on this idea for a few minutes. This is significant because it has her questioning if she can be more than one thing and fit into other categories than she previously thought. At the beginning of the passage, she was denying completely that she was a serpent of any kind, but by the end she was considering it to be a possibility. Both can enjoy an egg, and based on her appearance, it's a possibility that she became a hybrid of the two. The passage attempts to answer this question with Alice considering that she can possibly be more than one thing. Since she's supposed to be seen as one of the only rational characters in the story, the fact that she's actually considering it proves that it could be possible to be more than one thing, contrary to what she originally thought.
I also find it interesting how this passage also incorporates the idea that people are obsessed with labels, which I think is very relevant in today's time. At first, both the Pigeon and Alice were very close-minded, arguing strongly for each of their views on what Alice should be labeled as. Since in Wonderland there are no rules as to what can happen, it's very possible to identify as more than one thing, as it happened to Alice. This can also pertain to real life because as people, we are all trying to find who we are in our identity and express that to the world. However, there are many characteristics that make up a person, and to just focus on one is rather silly. For instance, the Pigeon stated that Alice had to be a serpent because she likes eggs. This is problematic because of the close-minded thinking. As Alice points out, that quality also applies to little girls, as they too enjoy eating eggs. Thus, I think the passage raised very compelling ideas as to how a person identifies himself or herself and explains that it's a lot more complicated than pointing out one attribute, while ignoring all other qualities a person may have.

One of the greatest skills a decade of commercial litigation has allowed me to develop is the ability to identify (and thusly avoid) potential "problem clients". It's a skill that transcends law, and applies to any service-based industry that requires an individual to deal with the public. On a personal level, I err on the side of caution, which may have caused me to avoid some potential clients who might not have turned out to be bona fide problem clients. But one bad encounter taught me that an ounce of prevention is worth a metric ton of cure.
I have noticed three hallmark traits / characteristics of the potentially problem client.
I have had people cold-call me, tell me how they read my bio, looked me up online, and know I am the one for them. They say "flattery will get you everywhere". But when someone you have never met is already singing your praises, when they assert that you are the only one that can help them, flags should be going up. Big flags. Big red flags. That type of flattery, regardless of how accurate it may be (wink wink), is in fact not merit-based. Although superficially about me, it is in fact not about me at all. It is about the client. It is an attempt to distract me from something about them – be it personality problems, or problems with their case.
First off, if you are not their first lawyer (or service provider), flags should already be going up. The more people that have come before you, the more flags. And with the problem client, it is never their fault. Their previous lawyers were always incompetent. Scoundrels. Liars. Thieves. Cheats. Everyone they deal with is of bad faith. They continually get exploited by others and only learn about it after the fact, hence why they are now meeting with you. And they are so lucky to have met you because they know you're different. You are the one who can solve all of their problems (see point above).
You're probably starting to see a trend here… You're smart and talented, and they absolutely need you. They are the victim in the situation they find themselves, and it's the fault of everyone who came before them. And it's an emergency. They need you now. No time to think. No time for get references or background checks. No time to talk to their previous lawyer(s). It's an emergency (and incidentally, the overwhelming majority of the time, it's nowhere near an emergency).
All three of these indicators have the same ultimate objective: to serve as a diversion from the person themselves. And while keeping them in mind may produce the occasional false positive, it's worth it to err on the side of caution. There is no amount of money that is worth a problem client – in law or any other industry. There's the old 80-20 paradigm – 20 percent of your clients produce 80 percent of your income. Well, when it comes to problem clients, it's 1-99. It only takes one to cause excessive amounts of difficulties that are as much of an emotional drain as an economic one.
Clients who don't want to give you a retainer. In my practice, 90 percent of the clients who I ended up having payment difficulties with were the ones who were reluctant, or refused, to provide a retainer.
Litigious clients (i.e. clients who have been involved in high numbers of lawsuits, either as plaintiff or defendant). This is where a $20 investment in court docket research could pay dividends in terms of saved time. Everyone – even if they are not a lawyer – should reflexively do this search for any potential client.
Clients who repeatedly promise you future business if you reduce your current rate. If someone does not value your time and expertise today, they won't value it tomorrow.
There's more, but this post has gotten too long. But before I go, here's my attempt at salt-baking fish. And the Easter Egg Hunt fun I had with the neighbourhood kids over the weekend. And my daughter and I heroically rescuing two earthworms.


Some organizations are pursuing both internal and customer-facing uses of AI to help them operate more efficiently and compete effectively.
As companies accelerate their AI journeys, many are finding endless applications for technologies such as natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning. These tools can augment back-office, intraoffice, and market-facing systems—and Google Cloud AI and the Adecco Group are two organizations realizing the benefits of this balanced, symbiotic AI strategy.
While many companies are just beginning to explore AI, Google recognized early on the value the technology could bring to its business model. In the past five years, the organization has gone from deploying AI in more narrow, strategic areas to becoming AI-first and mandating its use across the enterprise. And it's taking best practices gained from operational use and building those AI capabilities into nearly all its products—bringing these innovations to many businesses.
One key to successfully applying AI, Sheth says, is identifying an internal business challenge and then exploring how the technology might solve it. For example, Google Cloud leveraged Google Assistant technology to personalize experiences in its customer contact center's service department. Natural language recognition and simulation combined with machine learning automates handling of tier 1-level calls. Rather than asking a generic set of questions from a script, the technology understands the specific issues about which the customer calls and can access the knowledge repository to provide relevant questions and comments in a conversational manner.
Another AI use case allowed Google Cloud to improve the energy efficiency in its data centers: Using machine learning to set cooling system algorithms and reinforcement learning—where the system tries different actions to test an outcome and then retrains itself based on findings—the system ascertained the optimal settings on its own. Cooling energy declined by 40 percent, resulting in a 15 percent reduction in overall data-center energy usage and significant cost savings for the organization.
Google Cloud continues to explore internal deployment opportunities that could inform future commercial product development—from demand forecasting to systems control optimization and quality control. Its AI team is exploring use cases across the medical, scientific, and automotive industries and made its AI training program open source so that all technologists can learn from it. It is also devoting resources to investigating how to monitor and analyze AI behavior, to detect and rectify bias in AI engines, and to facilitate the transformation of a traditional workforce in the age of machine learning.
Many have speculated about AI's potential to replace much of the human workforce, but the Adecco Group foresees a future in which augmented intelligence will enhance rather than replace human skills such as critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and value judgments. The company is accelerating AI use across both its internal and market-facing functions as leaders see two paths of opportunity: to amplify employees' recruiting efforts and performance through automation of core legacy tasks, and to offer innovations to clients to improve their talent recruitment and career management.
Currently, its general staffing brand, Adecco, uses Mya Systems' chatbot to streamline initial screenings of job candidates by matching their skill sets, experience, geographic location, availability, and salary requirements with open positions; it then contacts suitable candidates to set up appointments with an Adecco recruiter. Automation provides better-qualified leads and faster follow-up, so both recruiters and candidates have responded positively.
This initial foray into AI prompted the company to explore other opportunities to scale the technology for greater efficiencies within other core processes, such as using robotic process automation to manage time registration and payroll administration for 700,000 temporary workers daily, as well as applying analytics to prioritize work for company recruiters.
The market interest in AI-driven efficiencies in recruitment and hiring drove the company to acquire Vettery in 2018 for its fully automated, zero-touch recruitment AI platform. The company gained the algorithm it needed to expand its capabilities while also providing Vettery's AI engine with data on which it could train and learn over time. Vettery began with listing IT-related jobs—such as programmers and DevOps professionals—because they were the easiest to codify and, in just a few months, had realized automated recruiting processes for the vast majority of the permanent positions for which it was seeking talent.
The firm also plans to capitalize on the market shift toward a gig economy. It created YOSS (your own boss), an end-to-end digital marketplace that leverages AI to match supply with demand. The platform helps build trust between freelancers and hiring companies and can match workers with benefits and training as well as handle payment arrangements.
When leaders view AI through a business lens, they can often identify a number of internal and outward-facing uses of the technology. By collaborating across functions to agree on objectives and aligning strategy accordingly, organizations can bring the fullest powers of AI to both enterprise and marketplace customers.

2 Halifax Transit drivers refuse work, renewing call for mask enforcement
Two Halifax Transit bus drivers refused to work last week after multiple passengers entered their buses without wearing masks, renewing the union's calls to enforce Nova Scotia's mandatory mask rule.
Drivers refused to operate their buses after passengers refused to wear masks

Two Halifax Transit bus drivers refused to work last week after multiple passengers entered their buses without wearing masks, renewing union calls to enforce Nova Scotia's mandatory mask rule.
"Both operators refused," Ken Wilson, the president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 508 which represents Halifax Transit workers, said in an interview with CBC's Mainstreet Monday. "One refused Thursday evening and another operator refused Friday evening.
"It was about passengers not wearing masks and so under the [Occupational Health Safety] Act, the operators have the right to refuse unsafe work."
Masks became mandatory on all transit buses and ferries in July, but there are no penalties in place for not complying.
Ken Wilson, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 508, says about 90 per cent of passengers wear masks, but it's the others who concern drivers. (CBC)
Individuals don't have to wear a mask if they have a medical condition that keeps them from doing so.
"There are very few valid medical reasons to not wear a mask," Dr. Robert Strang, the province's chief medical officer of health, said in July when masks were made mandatory.
Wilson said about 90 per cent of passengers wear masks, but it's the others who concern drivers.
"We're not allowed to enforce or to advise — we're to take everybody at face value that if they say they have a medical condition, they do," he said.
He says the municipality should start enforcing mask use on public transit to protect drivers and passengers.

"The confusing part is that we can deny entry to someone not wearing a pair of shoes or not wearing a shirt but when you don't have a mask, you have to take a seat and that doesn't make sense and that's the problem," he said.
Wilson said the transit drivers refused to operate their buses because they felt unsafe amid a resurgence of COVID-19, which has brought on community spread.
"My operators, my members are stressed. They've been on the front lines for over 10 months. I don't think anybody thought this is going to go this long. Now it could be almost another year before we get a vaccine in this part of the region," Wilson said.
"People are COVID-fatigued. They're stressed. They're worried about bringing this home to their families ... and it's really opened my eyes to the way we're being treated as workers for the transit agency."
Halifax Transit says drivers may remind passengers of the requirement to wear a mask, but passengers who are not wearing a mask will not be denied entry. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)
A spokesperson with Halifax Transit said "the obligation to wear a mask rests with the individual" and there are no plans to change the current protocol.
"Halifax Transit will continue to adhere to public health guidelines regarding education and enforcement of the use of masks," Erin DiCarlo, a spokesperson for Halifax Transit, said in an emailed statement Monday.
"Operators may remind passengers of the requirement to wear a mask, but passengers who are not wearing a mask will not be denied entry, as some passengers may have medical reasons that prevent them from wearing one."

Burrinjuck, NSW
Historic and vital dam for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
Burrinjuck, Burrinjuck Dam and sometimes Lake Burrunjuck, are all names for a body of water created by a major dam on the Murrumbidgee River below its junction with the Goodradigbee and Yass Rivers. The dam was constructed as part of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme and today has become a popular recreation destination with good camping facilities and a wide range of water-based activities. Lake Burrinjuck covers 5,500 hectares, has a shoreline of 645 kilometres and supplies 1.02 megalitres of water each year to the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. On average it attracts around 250,000 visitors each year.
Burrinjuck, and Lake Burrinjuck, are located 327 km south-west of Sydney via the Hume Freeway and Motorway. The main camping and boat launching destination is located 56 km south-west of Yass via the Hume Highway and Burrinjuck Road.
It has been accepted that the name 'burrinjuck' is a corruption of a Wiradjuri Aboriginal word (it was first written down as Barren Jack) which possibly means "steep mountain".
Burrinjuck Dam
The vital statistics of the dam: it is a concrete gravity dam with a wall which is 93 metres high and 233 metres long. The water depth is 61 metres and its capacity is 1,028,000 ML. The surface area is 5,500 ha and the catchment area is 12,953 square kilometres. It provides 1.2 ML a year for irrigation downstream. There is detailed information and a map at http://www.statewater.com.au/_Documents/Dam%20brochures/Burrinjuck%20Dam%20Brochure.pdf.
Burrinjuck Waters State Park
The shores of the lake are a popular camping destination offering cabins, powered and un-powered camping sites, a kiosk and an information office, tel: (02) 6227 8114. The lake is used for fishing, boating, water skiing and the shores are ideal for picnics. The area around the lake has attracted kangaroos and rosellas in significant numbers. For more information check out http://www.stateparks.nsw.gov.au/burrinjuck_waters.
The lake is known for its Murray cod, golden perch (yellow belly), trout, Atlantic salmon and redfin. There are a number of good boat ramps around the shores of the lake. For more information tel: (02) 6227 8114. The Facebook site - https://www.facebook.com/burrinjuckadmin - has weekly updates on the fishing conditions.
Hume and Hovell Walking Track
The Hume and Hovell track stretches 440 km from Yass via Lake Burrinjuck to Wee Jasper, Blowering Dam, Tumbarumba and through to Albury. The first section is from Yass around the shore of Lake Burrinjuck to Wee Jasper. It is from Cooma Cottage (Yass) to Fitzpatrick Trackhead (Wee Jasper). There is a useful, downloadable brochure available at http://www.lpma.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/70602/Hume__and__hovell_DL.pdf and detailed information at http://www.lpma.nsw.gov.au/about_recreation/walking_tracks/hume_and_hovell_walking_track/track_and_walks. The route from Cooma Cottage to Fitzpatrick Trackhead is 75 km and is defined as moderate/hard. A section of the route passes around the edge of the lake.
* For tens of thousands of years prior to European settlement the Wiradjuri Aboriginal people occupied this land.
* The Dam was built as part of the grand scheme to provide regular water to the dry, but fertile, lands of the Riverina. The scheme aimed to provide water to lands now known as the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
* The scheme was largely the result of the vision of an Irish immigrant, Samuel McCaughey, who, by the 1860s, was buying up land in the Riverina and planning schemes to irrigate it with the waters from the Murrumbidgee.
* In 1899 McCaughey purchased property on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River near Yanco and built a dam and a number of channels so he could conserve water and increase the land's productivity.
* By 1906 the New South Wales government had established a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works and was taking submissions from people eager to build dams along the Murrumbidgee River.
* Work began in 1909 on a dam at Barren Jack.
* When the dam was being built the new Riverina towns of Leeton and Griffith developed as service centres for the extensive irrigation of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
* By 1912 the dam was beginning to fill and it had sufficient water to supply irrigation needs downstream.
* The dam was officially completed and opened in 1928.
* The dam was enlarged in 1957.

Paolo Maldini: Crown Prince of Milan
 > Lives > Paolo Maldini: Crown Prince of Milan
Paolo Maldini was born in Milan in 1968. His father, Cesare, won many titles as a player with AC Milan and was a successful coach, both at club level and with Italy. Paolo started his youth football with Milan, made the first team by the age of 16; and never went anywhere else. He won his first league title in 1988, still only 19; in the same year he got the first of his 126 caps for Italy.
Il Capitano
Paolo Maldini played as a cool, elegant defender, mostly at left back. He led his team-mates at Milan and in the national team. He stayed with Milan for 25 seasons, winning 25 trophies. He played 14 years for Italy, eight years as captain, and was involved in four World Cups. In 2007, aged 39, he was named Best Defender by UEFA. He retired as a player in 2009.
The Maldini Dynasty?
After retiring from playing football, Maldini started his own fashion label. In 2019, Milan made him technical director. He almost joined Chelsea as a coach in 2012, but the pull of Milan was too strong. Maldini's No 3 shirt was "retired" in 2009, but Paolo has two sons, both footballers with Milan; if either of them makes the First XI he will be given Paolo's shirt number.
Thinking points
Paolo Maldini's career seems too good to be true. Following in his father's footsteps, Paolo played 25 seasons at AC Milan, won 25 trophies, played 126 times for Italy and was still regarded as Best Defender in the World when he was 40. He has two sons hoping to continue the "Maldini Dynasty".
Educators could look at the life story of Paolo Maldini and work with young people to consider these questions:
In an age of football transfers driving internationalisation of teams, how come some high-level players, like Maldini, choose to stay in their hometown?
Is Football a game handed down from parent-to-child?

Future of Cryptocurrency in India
Business Law Cyber Law Opinion Technology Law
September 25, 2021 LL.B Mania
By Adv. Nikita Vaigankar
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses an online ledger with strong cryptography to secure online transactions. It is a form of payment that can be exchanged online for goods and services. Many companies issue their own currency in the form of tokens.
An important feature of cryptocurrency is that it is decentralized and works based on blockchain technology. Blockchain technology simply means a database in which information is stored in blocks and is chained together. Here, data which is stored is irreversible which simply means, it cannot be reverted back.
Another distinctive and noteworthy feature of cryptocurrency is that they are not issued by the government and that is why they are immune to government interference. In fact, they are in the form of a peer-to-peer economy, which is regulated by everyone and no single entity has any control over it.
Cryptocurrency has been speculated as an investment strategy for the past few years. India has been witnessing investment in the cryptocurrency space and one of the reasons for such popularity is the disillusionment with the banking system and its rules which are not so transparent thereby, giving hardships to its customers.
A much-awaited step towards the regulation of cryptocurrencies is the bill initiated by the government regarding the cryptocurrency and hence, there are various panels formed to discuss issues relating to cryptocurrency and the same is being formulated into reports. It is speculated that the bill is aiming to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India and create an official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India. The government is also taking steps to be less harsh on the regulation of cryptocurrency, as the 'Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021' is being introduced and is happily welcomed by the crypto community.
On one hand, in 2018 cryptocurrency has been introduced and was spreading like wildfire while on the other hand, RBI advised all the entities regulated by it, not to deal in digital currency, and thus, an indirect ban was levied on cryptocurrency.
But later in 2020, Supreme Court quashed the said order of RBI in the case of 'Internet and Mobile Association of India versus RBI' (MANU/SC/0264/2020). Here, the court held that a ban on cryptocurrency is bad in law as it hinders the fundamental rights of citizens to carry out any legitimate trade. The decision came after two years after the ban and the order came after several petitions were filed against the RBI ban.
Even though the ban was lifted the government still was not in favor of cryptocurrency and always advised or in fact, warned its citizens not to invest in digital currencies. However, even after several warnings the thriving of cryptocurrency in India has not stopped or lowered, in fact, it has been on a steady rise.
Most of the experts believe that the Indian government is adopting a 'wait and watch approach as the government is still observing what is happening in the crypto space across the world, especially in developed countries.
If India adopts cryptocurrency, there are various advantages of cryptocurrency as it reduces financial fraud due to its high security. It enhances an immediate transaction and lowers fees. It will also attract FDI and will boost technological development. Thus, driving our economy to high levels. On the other hand, a major disadvantage to cryptocurrencies is hidden in its advantage itself and that is, its decentralized nature. Digital theft will be common and the investors are afraid because of the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency as they are very much uncertain.
Author's Opinion
It is noteworthy that even though, Supreme Court in its judgment which is mentioned above has lifted the ban on cryptocurrency, it does not mean that the government cannot impose a ban. Further, if legislation is introduced to put a ban on cryptocurrency, the Supreme Court cannot do anything until and unless there is a proper writ petition with genuine and logical reasons to repeal the said legislation.
I firmly believe that with such wide popularity of cryptocurrency, which is gaining day by day, it is difficult to believe that the government will outrightly ban cryptocurrency usage in India. In fact, the government will try to implement more legal provisions to regulate the same but won't ban it altogether.
No doubt that India has a bright future in cryptocurrency but still as of now, the digital currency has not reached its full potential as many citizens are unaware of what cryptocurrency actually is. The most important reason as to why the government is afraid of cryptocurrencies or why it is not freely implementing its usage is because if the cryptocurrencies are brought into use, then since they are decentralized, the government will lose monopoly over the Indian rupee.
At present, the activity of trading in cryptocurrencies such as 'Bitcoin', which is a very popular cryptocurrency, is limited to a large extent as there are no trade regulations for the same, and doing so, can give rise to fraud, money laundering, and even funding to the terrorist activities. While it is evident that cryptocurrency is dependent upon the global market and presently, the position is that people are investing in it and holding them for now as there is a strong belief among them of success due to which, there is a high rise in the rates of cryptocurrencies.
The future of cryptocurrency in India is very progressive, which is visible as RBI has taken the step to launch CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). This will surely boost the surge of cryptocurrency investment. CBDC is basically a legal tender issued by the Central Bank in the digital form and it is the same as physical currency which will include coins, cheques, securities, bonds, etc. The need for CBDC by the RBI is to maintain control over currency because if private cryptocurrency is allowed, RBI or government will lose financial control.
After all, anything and everything seems to be unacceptable until and unless it is put into use or becomes a part of everyday life and once it is dissolved in our lives, we tend to adjust ourselves and accept the same. Similarly, cryptocurrency will also be added to our day-to-day activities through their evolution and ultimately, it will become our habit and necessity in transactions.
The government machinery and other authorities would have to accept the same as it would succumb to the popularity of cryptocurrency but for this, a prerequisite is that it is very essential that digital literacy is implemented in our country as India is digitally divided and hence, even though if cryptocurrency is legalized and boosted, there won't be beneficiaries in all sorts of fields but the real beneficiaries would be only rich class people who already have access to technology and thereby, creating broad disparity.

In Pursuit of Happiness
Feature FEATURED Lifestyle May 2018
Wecanserve Magazine May 1, 2018
Caught in the tentacles of 'all-pervasive connectivity,' human lives have become a tangled mess. But there are ways to transcend all such trappings and find genuine bliss, say happiness experts.
By Renjith Leen
Tucked away in the bosom of the mighty Himalayas lies a tiny enclave of peace and happiness. Yes, you guessed right. It is Bhutan. Though dubbed the Land of the Thunder Dragon, this tiny nation boasts no martial qualities. On the contrary, it is a little slice of the mythical Shangri-La, having one the most peace-loving and cheerful folks on the planet. Little wonder it surpasses many a mighty nation to rank high in the global happiness index.
There have been studies galore about what makes Bhutan a nation of bubbly, cheerful people. Studies say this country is still pretty much unaffected by the mad craze for technology and gizmos and the all-pervasive connectivity. At a time when connectivity is the buzzword elsewhere, the Bhutan phenomenon drives home an important point.
With the ever-growing wireless connectivity dominating lives and linking it with practically everything—from homes and cars to gadgets and health devices—the quest to stay connected is growing exponentially, but at a cost. Experts say it is robbing one of genuine happiness and the sense of fulfillment, giving hypertension and depression a free run. This can have disastrous consequences.
But then don't people experience 'happiness' when they have achievements, receive gifts, buy a new house or swanky vehicle, go on vacation and connect with friends and family? Many tend to equate that fleeting sense of euphoria with genuine bliss. On the other hand, world-renowned happiness evangelists like Gretchen Rubin thinks otherwise. In an interview to CNN some time ago, the author of the best seller The Happiness Project said, one can only realize true and lasting happiness by "building a blissful life on the foundation of one's own nature. You have to know what makes you happy." Of course, you needn't sell your Ferrari for that. All you need is to look within and identify your true self.
"IF YOU'RE TRYING TO CHANGE A HABIT, LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO EXERCISE MORE, IT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO KNOW ONE'S TENDENCIES. BECAUSE THEN YOU KNOW WHAT BUTTON TO PUSH."
In other words, this means taking the eudaimonic approach towards life rather than the hedonistic one, focusing on authentic living for the greater good. Says life coach and happiness guru Dr Saloni Singh: "Once we start realising our 'inner self' needs to find harmony with others as well as life, it is the beginning of true happiness. We should stop chasing happiness outside and start cultivating it within. It is 'you' who brings happiness and joy into things, not the other way round."
But then, the million-dollar question is how can one attain genuine happiness? One of the most profound observers of human nature, Rubin advocates a 'revolutionary formula', which says one should 'feel good, feel bad and feel right in an atmosphere of growth'. "To feel happy, it's not enough to have fun with your friends, and not feel guilty about yelling all the time, and feel like you're working in the right job; you also need to feel growth—a sense of learning, of betterment, of advancement, of contributing to the growth of others," she says.
Named one of the '22 brilliant thinkers one should follow on Twitter' and one of the '100 most influential people in health and fitness' by Business Insider, Gretchen waxes eloquent on the 'Four Tendencies' framework to help each person develop habitforming strategies to transcend clutter and escape the siren song of 'connectivity' to find happiness in everyday life-be it at home or the workplace.
The 'Four Tendencies' are loosely based on how one reacts to outer as well as inner expectations.
With the ever-growing wireless connectivity dominating lives and linking it with practically everything—from homes and cars to gadgets and health devices—the quest to stay connected is growing exponentially, but at a cost.
Upholders: They never allow let themselves or anyone else down and they meet inner and outer expectations. They form habits with relative ease, compared to others.
Questioners: People in this category meet only inner expectations, questioning everything. They would like to do something only if it makes sense, knocking out everything that is arbitrary. In the words of Gretchen, questioners "resist rules for rules' sake".
Obligers: They meet outer expectations more than inner ones. They tend to stick to things that need external accountability.
Rebels: They fight against inner and outer expectations, prioritising self-determination.
According to Gretchen, most individuals fall into the 'obliger' category. She says once an individual figures out which tendency best describes him, the correct habit-forming strategies can be chalked out to bring positive transformation. Once you've figured out which tendency best describes you, you can pinpoint habit-forming strategies that will work for you. "If you're trying to change a habit, like you're trying to exercise more, it's really helpful to know their tendencies. Because then you know what button to push," she says.

Baseball player Noh Jin-hyuk, "It's too bad that Koo Seung-min..
Baseball player Noh Jin-hyuk, "It's too bad that Koo Seung-min can't hit the ball," Han Hyun-hee, "Lee Jung-hoo told me not to hit the ball." [On site]
Noh Jin-hyuk (35), Yoo Kang-nam (31), and Han Hyun-hee (30), who moved to the Lotte Giants through FA this winter, expressed their determination to face their former teams.
At the FA joining ceremony held at Lotte Hotel Busan Sapphire Room on the 19th, the three players expressed their feelings about meeting the team they played earlier through a Q&A session.
All of them played in only one team except during their military service. Yoo Kang-nam played without a transfer for 11 years after joining LG in 2011, while Noh Jin-hyuk and Han Hyun-hee played until last year after wearing NC and Nexen (now Kiwoom) uniforms in 2012, respectively.
Who was the most difficult player to deal with in Lotte that I met while playing for more than 10 years? Roh Jin-hyuk and Han Hyun-hee picked foreign pitcher Dan Straily (35). Noh Jin-hyuk said, "It was hard to deal with Straily, but I'm glad," and Han Hyun-hee, who mentioned the same pitcher as a uncomfortable opponent, said, "I didn't like Straily." He explained, "I'm a pitcher, but I was a person who gave strength to batters with fast tempo and fighting."
In addition, baseball player Noh Jin-hyuk confessed to Han Hyun-hee, who moved with him, "I couldn't hit it, but I'm so happy to come (to Lotte)." Since his debut in the first division in 2013, baseball player Noh Jin-hyuk has recorded two hits in 15 at-bats (batting average of 0.133) against Han Hyun-hee until last year. Han Hyun-hee also joked, "It's a shame to be on the same team as (No) Jin-hyuk."
On the other hand, it may be disappointing to team up with a strong player. Roh Jin-hyuk mentioned pitcher Koo Seung-min (33), his colleague in charge of managing director. Roh Jin-hyuk, who faced nine at-bats in his career, showed a dominant performance with three hits and one home run.
Baseball player Noh Jin-hyuk smiled, saying, "It's a shame that Koo Seung-min couldn't hit the ball." In response, Koo Seung-min, who visited the site to celebrate his joining, met Noh Jin-hyuk after the event and jokingly pointed out, "Shouldn't my name come out there?" In response, Noh Jin-hyuk responded, "I'm glad your name was in the article."
Some players are uncomfortable as they face their former team.Baseball player Noh Jin-hyuk said, "I work out with Koo Chang-mo and Kim Young-kyu in Masan, but if the ball falls out, they hit me," adding, "Changmo and Young-kyu have good balls, so I want to play well against the two pitchers." Yoo Kang-nam said, "(Kim) Yoon-sik said he would only throw fastballs, and (Lee) Jung-yong did a power analysis while I was practicing. He said, "I think it will be hard to hit (Jeong) Woo-young's ball." 안전한놀이터
On the other hand, Han Hyun-hee responded that she did not care. "After the contract, (Lee) Jung-hoo called right away and said, 'Please don't hit it,'" he said. "There is no noisy batter, and I think it will be fun."

Students leave their high school graduation only minutes after obtaining their diplomas to put out a fire at the home of a classmate…
ByElen
Aug 12, 2022 Inspiring, Life
After receiving word that there was a fire nearby, a group of students who had just graduated from Port Jefferson High School on Long Island, New York, moved from stepping across the stage to receive their degrees to extinguishing the blaze.
Eric Haruthunian, the school's administrator, named the six courageous kids as Kasumi Layne-Stasik, Shane Hartig, Ryan Parmegiani, Andrew Patterson, and Peter Rizzo, respectively. Hunter Volpi was also included in this group.
Shortly after the ceremony, the grads, who are also volunteers with the Port Jefferson Fire Department, were busy snapping photographs with their families and friends when the fire siren went off three times.
Then, the notifications started ringing and buzzing on their mobile devices.
The students stopped what they were doing as soon as they realized it wasn't simply a normal check, and they hurried to the firehouse that was a few streets away while still dressed in their graduation gear.
Rizzo, who is just 17 years old, related the following story to Good Morning America: "We were still in our gowns, and we still had our degrees with us, and we peeled off our robes." "I was completely unaware that I was still wearing my tie," the speaker said.
To react to a structure fire incident at one of their classmates' houses, two of the students rode in the first engine to arrive at the site, while the other four students rode on a ladder truck.
According to the head of the Port Jefferson fire department, Christian Neubert, the student was also just getting back home after the ceremony.
At the crime site, Rizzo took control of a nozzle, which was an important role because he was the first person inside the garage. Others assisted in tearing down walls and ceilings in order to search for hidden areas inside the structure where the fire may have been still burning or may have started again.
Patterson, 18, who assisted in maintaining control of the hose described the experience as "simply an adrenaline rush." Because we don't have a lot of genuine functioning fires, it was really thrilling when we did.
Facebook users who are teenagers who volunteer with the Port Jefferson Fire Department
The fire in the unattached garage on Arlington Avenue was promptly extinguished as a result of the prompt efforts taken by the group. Most significantly, nobody was wounded in all of this.
"They were pleasant and unruffled. There was no one running. Neubert told Newsday that there was no one screaming in the room. Everything was just outstanding in its impressiveness.
The evening before graduation, the students were joking about what they would do in the event that there was a fire in the city when the ceremony was taking place. They never in their wildest dreams imagined that it would really take place.
"They immediately have a great deal more trust because they went, and they handled an issue in a very professional and safe manner," Neubert said further.
These individuals are going to be regarded in greater esteem the next time we have another emergency similar to that one since they are capable of completing the task.
The majority of the six kids had participated in the junior volunteer program of the fire department when they were 14 years old. Since they became 17, they have been active volunteers in their own right.
Everyone had put in a lot of work, including spending most of their Sundays at the firehouse for training. They spend a portion of their time there, at the Suffolk County Fire Academy in Yaphank, training.
He said, "But you won't know how someone is going to perform until they really go out there and do it." "They have my utmost respect and admiration."
These students indicated that the fact that their graduation did not proceed according to plan did not bother them in the least.
"At the fire, I was able to get more images of myself than I did at the graduation. "But in general, I remember it [as] a wonderful moment, and it was a cool narrative to be able to tell others," said Parmegiani, who is now 18 years old.
The youngsters have been praised by the Fire Department of Port Jefferson for their bravery and quick thinking.
"Last evening PJFD responded to a garage fire on Arlington Avenue shortly after 7:30," the department stated on Facebook. "The fire was contained to the garage."
"Six of the firemen who responded had recently finished their schooling in the Port Jefferson School District and received their diplomas. They rushed to the firehouse even as they were in the middle of snapping photographs with their family so that they could handle the alert.
These young people should be commended for their selfless service and the tremendous effort that they have done.

Die Privatbrauerei Eibau i.Sa. GmbH ist eine vor allem für ihr Schwarzbier bekannte Bierbrauerei in der Oberlausitz. Sie befindet sich in Eibau im Landkreis Görlitz.

Geschichte
Die Landbrauerei in Eibau wurde auf Initiative der Zittauer Bierbürgerschaft gegründet, um die Versorgung der entfernten größeren Dörfer mit Zittauer Bier zu erleichtern. Dieser Beschluss wurde zwar bereits 1786 getroffen, da aber die Errichtung mit nicht unerheblichen Kosten verbunden war, wurde die Landbrauerei in Eibau erst 1810 eingerichtet und erhielt ihr Braurecht. Zwischenzeitlich bewarb sich Ebersbach 1786 und 1802 erfolglos um die Landbrauerei. Anfänglich stammte ein Teil des Brauwassers vom 500 Meter entfernt liegenden Beckenbergmüller und wurde durch Holzröhren zur Brauerei geleitet. Diese Brauerei brannte 1863 ab. Gustav Adolf Theodor Krampf kaufte die Brauerei nach ihrem Wiederaufbau. Sie produzierte von 1900 bis 1907 Caramel-Malzbier (Eibauer Porter mit etwa 2,5 % Vol. Alk.), und die Brauerei erlebte dadurch ihre Blütezeit. Zum Fuhrpark gehörten 21 Pferde und sechs Ochsen. Am 29. Januar 1937 erwarb der Braumeister Hans Münch das Braugut in Eibau, das er bis 1972 führte.

Am 14. Mai 1945 wurde der erste Sud Bier mit zwölf Prozent Stammwürze auf Anordnung der sowjetischen Kommandantur gebraut. Im Mai 1972 erfolgte die Enteignung der Brauerei, sie wurde der Landskronbrauerei Görlitz angegliedert. 1990 erwarben dann die Nachkommen wieder das Unternehmen und führten es bis 2008 im Familienbetrieb weiter. Nach dem Verkauf des Unternehmens erfolgte 2010 die Umbenennung in Privatbrauerei Eibau i.Sa.

1998 wurde die Braulizenz des Klosters St. Marienthal erworben. Ebenfalls wird das "German Beer" gebraut, welches ursprünglich in der Sternburgbrauerei Lützschena hergestellt wurde.

This weekend, millions of "naturalists" across the globe will celebrate World Naked Gardening Day.
Now in its 11th year, 'World Naked Gardening Day' is observed on the first Saturday of every May. According to the organizers, the holiday was created to encourage people to "tend their portion of the world's garden unclothed, as nature intended".
Here are a few helpful safety tips for celebrating World Naked Gardening Day here in Wyoming.
1. Exercise caution while working with weed whackers.
2. When bending over to uproot or plant vegetables or flowers, try to insure that your family and friends aren't in the direct line of sight.
3. Keep chemicals away from any sensitive body parts.
4. Use plenty of sunscreen.
5. Watch out for insects, especially ants.

Discovering the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation
"I couldn't live in a place from which you can't see the ocean", those were the words of Joan Miró. ¡And how could one disagree! Together with his wife, Pilar Juncosa, in 1956 he chose Palma de Mallorca as his residence, and this is where the painter lived and worked until 1983, the year of his death.
"My dream when I settle down somewhere is to have a large workshop, not for lighting reasons, (…) but to have space and many paintings, because, the more I work, the more I want to work". And so, three years after his move, he bought Finca Son Boter, a typical Mallorcan rustic house which dates from the 18th century, located on a hillside of Cala Major. From here, the views leave you breathless. The large mansion thus became the home of an artist and his laboratory, a studio where one can create and experiment with works of art.
Picture Credit : miromallorca.com
Today it is possible to visit the house/workshop thanks to the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation, commissioned by the City Council of Palma de Mallorca, whose mission is to preserve the work of the artist while spreading the culture of art. On the lower level, the foundation houses around 6000 artworks that include paintings, sculptures, tapestries, drawings and various documents of the great artist. On the walls you can still see charcoal graffiti and sketches of the artist. The Miró world begins in the garden, where some of his sculptures are exhibited, which, as the artist said, "must be erected outdoors".
Inaugurated in 1992, the Foundation can be visited from Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm (7:00 pm in summer) and Sundays and holidays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Closed on Mondays.
Reaching the Foundation is simple. Also by public transport (from the center of Palma, for example, taking bus line Nº 3).
The visitors of the Foundation are never disappointed! Even though it's a museum, you still breathe that homely atmosphere. Visitors, immersed in an evocative setting, can almost imagine the teacher's day-to-day life.
There is no doubt that the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation is an essential stage for those who travel to Mallorca.

The Honky Tonk Man To Be Inducted Into The 2019 WWE Hall Of Fame
brahma999 February 27, 2019 WWE Leave a comment
Former WWE Intercontinental Champion The Honky Tonk Man has been confirmed for The 2019 WWE Hall Of Fame Class.
The Honky Tonk Man joins DX (Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chyna, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman, Billy Gunn & "Road Dogg" BG James) as confirmed inductees for The 2019 Class, which will be inducted during WrestleMania 35 Weekend in Brooklyn, New York. Tazz & The Hart Foundation (Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Bret "The Hitman" Hart & Jimmy Hart) are also rumored.
Below is WWE's full announcement on The Honky Tonk Man's induction:
BREAKING: As first reported by @CBSSports, @OfficialHTM is the next inductee into the @WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2019! #WWEHOF https://t.co/1b7V1uLqLL

The Honky Tonk Man To Be Inducted Into The WWE Hall Of Fame Class Of 2019
He's cool, he's cocky, he's bad, and now, he's a WWE Hall of Famer.
The Honky Tonk Man, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, is the latest inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2019. The news was first reported by CBS Sports. The 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place on Saturday, April 6, the eve of WrestleMania 35, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Tickets for the ceremony are available now.
With slicked-back hair and long sideburns reminiscent of a certain rock 'n' roll icon, The Honky Tonk Man first arrived on the scene in WWE in 1986 with a wide-eyed smile on his face, trying to earn the adulation of the WWE Universe. But WWE fans didn't quite take to the Elvis lookalike, despite the stamp of approval from Hulk Hogan, as they jeered the newcomer relentlessly. A frustrated Honky Tonk Man called for a vote of confidence from the WWE Universe, and when the results came back overwhelmingly negative, the rockabilly wrestler snapped.
Enlisting the managerial services of fellow WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart, The Honky Tonk Man unleashed his evil side, setting out to make his opponents twist and shout in agony. And if the damage he inflicted on his opponents wasn't enough, he subjected the WWE Universe to his unique talents as a singer, facetiously thanking fans and telling them they were "a wonderful audience" as he belted out his own entrance music.
The new attitude was apparently just what the crooner needed, as he racked up victory after victory on his way to becoming Intercontinental Champion in June 1987 with a shocking victory over Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. Following his big win, The Honky Tonk Man went on to claim that he was the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. At first, that boast may have rang a little hollow, but his claims began to hold a little more water as his reign continued.
By hook or by crook, The Honky Tonk Man held onto the Intercontinental Championship for nearly 13 months before his reign ended in lightning-quick fashion at the hands of Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam 1988. His record-breaking 454 days as Intercontinental Champion is a feat that has stood the test of time, as no Superstar has come close to eclipsing his unprecedented championship reign.
The Honky Tonk Man was, surprisingly, also willing to share the spotlight later in his WWE career, whether it was as one half of the tag team/band Rhythm & Blues with Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, or as the manager of Rockabilly (fellow 2019 inductee Billy Gunn of D-Generation X).
But once again, the spotlight will be on The Honky Tonk Man as he takes his place in sports-entertainment history. Don't miss The Honky Tonk Man's enshrinement during the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday, April 6, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., during WrestleMania 35 Week. Tickets for this historic evening are available now!
