Game On! Terraforming Mars
Credit: FryxGames
Terraforming Mars: A Resource Management Game by Jacob Fryxelius was released late last year and has become a popular game to help tame the Red Planet.
The game board features corporations that are competing to transform Mars into a habitable planet by spending vast resources, and using innovative technology to raise temperature, create a breathable atmosphere, and make oceans of water.
Control a corporation
As terraforming progresses, more and more people will immigrate from Earth to live on the Red Planet.
According to promotional material, in Terraforming Mars, a player controls a corporation with a certain profile. Play project cards, build up production, place your cities and green areas on the map, and race for milestones and awards!
Will your corporation lead the way into humanity's new era?
Recede or expand?
The Terraforming Announcement: "Since its inception in 2174, the World Government has continually strived for global unity and peace. Our mission is to be humanity's shared tool for shaping a better future. Earth is overpopulated and resources are dwindling. We now face the choice either to recede, or to expand into space to find new homes for humanity. For this reason, we need to turn Mars into a habitable planet."
"The terraforming of Mars is an endeavor so great that it will take the united effort of mankind to accomplish. The World Government will therefore inaugurate a Terraforming Committee, and instate a universal tax for this purpose. Any corporation or enterprise contributing to the terraforming process will be generously rewarded by the Committee. We believe that these measures will, eventually, result in a habitable planet for our descendants. Thank you for your attention! – Levi Uken, World Government communicator, January 16, 2315 AD."

Action Item: Future of Nuclear Powered Spacecraft
As depicted in this illustration, Cassini will plunge into Saturn's atmosphere on Sept. 15, 2017.
With NASA's Cassini spacecraft set to end its exploration of Saturn on September 15, 2017 by plunging into the atmosphere of that ringed world, it is worth noting how that impressive mission was enabled by the use of nuclear power and how, if action isn't taken soon, the U.S. may lose the capability to do future outer-planet flagship missions like Cassini.
That's the view of Gary Bennett, now retired from NASA headquarters where he served as Manager of Advanced Space Power Systems. He also worked on the General-Purpose Heat Source Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (GPHS-RTG) program as Director of Safety and Nuclear Operations at the U.S. Department of Energy.
Cutaway view of a General Purpose Heat Source RTG.
Milestone missions
For almost 20 years, the Cassini spacecraft has been powered by three GPHS-RTGs, Bennett points out, each capable of producing 300 watts of electrical power at the start of the mission.
Originally, the GPHS-RTG was developed for the Ulysses solar-polar mission then GPHS-RTGs were added to the Galileo mission to Jupiter.
Voyager spacecraft.
Most recently, the GPHS-RTG is powering the New Horizons spacecraft which successfully flew past Pluto and is now on its way for a 2019 flyby of the Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) 2014 MU69.
"The GPHS-RTG built on the successful technology employed to power the two Voyager spacecraft which are celebrating 40 years in space this year," Bennett adds. The Voyager power sources are known as Multi-Hundred Watt RTGs (MHW-RTGs).]

Dire situation
"Currently, the U.S. has only a limited supply of 'old' plutonium-238, the radioisotope that provides the thermal power for the GPHS-RTG," Bennett explains. "The situation is so dire that in 2009 the National Research Council's Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board issued the report Radioisotope Power Systems: An Imperative for Maintaining U.S. Leadership in Space Exploration."

Bennett concludes that, "during the forthcoming celebrations of the successes of the Cassini mission and of the 40th anniversary of the launches of the two Voyager spacecraft it should be noted that these missions were enabled by nuclear power and, unless action is taken, that option may not be available in the future."

This is a Test! Asteroid Defense Simulation
Credit: ESA – P.Carril
An observational campaign using an actual close approach of an asteroid will exercise planetary defense preparedness.
The asteroid – 2012 TC4 – will be used on October 12th to test, for the first time, NASA's network of observatories and scientists who work with planetary defense.
Vishnu Reddy of the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory first suggested the staging of cosmic Homeland Defense.
"So we proposed an observational campaign to exercise the network and test how ready we are for a potential impact by a hazardous asteroid," Reddy explains in a university press statement.

Recover, track, characterize
The goal of the TC4 exercise is to recover, track and characterize the space rock as a potential impactor in order to flex the entire system from observations, modeling, prediction and communication.
The incoming asteroid measures between 30 and 100 feet. And that's roughly the same size as the asteroid that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, on February 15, 2013.
TC4 was discovered by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope on October 5, 2012, at Haleakala Observatory on Maui, Hawaii. The space rock will whisk by Earth's surface at a scant 4,200 miles (6,800 kilometers) distance.
On Oct. 12, 2017, asteroid 2012 TC4 will safely fly past Earth. Experts say they cannot yet predict exactly how close it will approach, but are certain it will come no closer to Earth than 4,200 miles (6,800 kilometers). Credit:: NASA/JPL-Caltech
"This is a team effort that involves more than a dozen observatories, universities and labs across the globe so we can collectively learn the strengths and limitations of our planetary defense capabilities," adds Reddy, who is coordinating the campaign for NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office – the federal entity in charge of coordinating efforts to protect Earth from hazardous asteroids.
"This is the perfect target for such an exercise because while we know the orbit of 2012 TC4 well enough to be absolutely certain it will not impact Earth, we haven't established its exact path just yet," said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "It will be incumbent upon the observatories to get a fix on the asteroid as it approaches, and work together to obtain follow-up observations than make more refined asteroid orbit determinations possible," Chodas said in a JPL press statement.
Poles of the Moon: Navigating Unexplored Territory
Credit: NASA Ames Research Center
A team at NASA's Ames Research Center has created a simulated lunar environment to study lighting conditions experienced at the unexplored poles of the Moon.
Because of low angle sunlight and soil that reflects light like a blanket of fresh snow, navigating the lunar surface at the poles could be hazardous for rovers.
The team uses a "Lunar Lab" testbed at Ames – a 12-foot-square sandbox containing eight tons of JSC-1A, a human-made lunar soil simulant.
Craters, surface ripples and obstacles are shaped with hand tools, and rocks are added to the terrain in order to simulate boulder fields or specific obstacles. Then they dust the terrain and rocks with an added layer of simulant to produce the "fluffy" top layer of lunar soil, erasing shovel and brush marks, and spreading a thin layer on the faces of rocks.
Each terrain design in the testbed is generated by statistics based on common features observed from spacecraft around the Moon.
A set of photos from over 2,500 pairs of stereo camera images taken from at least 12 scenarios of recreated craters and rock formations that Wong and his team collected to accurately simulate the lighting conditions at the Moon's poles. The goal is to improve the stereo viewing capabilities of robotic systems to effectively navigate unknown terrain and avoid hazards at the Moon poles.

Explains Uland Wong, a computer scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley: "It's very difficult to be able to perceive anything for a robot or even a human that needs to analyze these visuals, because cameras don't have the sensitivity to be able to see the details that you need to detect a rock or a crater."
Early results of the research show that stereo imaging is promising for use on rovers that will explore the lunar poles.
One mission concept is NASA's Resource Prospector and it could be the first robot to navigate in the polar regions of the Moon.

"And in order to do that," Wong adds, "we have to figure out how to navigate where nobody's ever been."

Radiation Shielding: "Know When to Fold 'em"
NASA has initiated a contest seeking packaged and deployed concepts for a radiation shield that would envelop the habitation portions of a Mars spacecraft.
"We are seeking novel folding/origami-based patterns and concepts for packaging a large radiation shield within a single launch vehicle that can be deployed around a Mars vehicle in cis-Lunar space," according to NASA fact sheet on the challenge.
Major concern
One of the major concerns to humans embarking on interplanetary space travel is the space radiation environment and the resulting damage to the human body.
"So, we want to focus on what we know works in protecting humans from space radiation and figure out how to construct a large shield on an interplanetary space vehicle," NASA explains.

China is setting up its first Mars Village analog site to simulate scientific experiments.
According to China Global Television Network, or CGTN, the village is to be situated in the Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China's Qinghai Province.
China's Science and Application Center for Moon and Deep Space Exploration (SACMDE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is leading the effort.
Local landscape
According to CGTN, the selected location is expected to serve as a field site to "simulate scientific experiments," as the local landscape lacks vegetation and shares a range of similarities with the surface of Mars.
As noted by Liu Xiaoqun, director of SACMDE, the Haixi prefecture has a desert area covering 9.5 million square kilometers as well as the largest Yardang landform group in China.
The geological features are "particularly similar to the ones of Mars," explains Liu.
Once established, the Mars Village could also be considered as a sustainable growth point for Qinghai's economic development, as well as its tourism industry.

Third set of astronauts
Meanwhile, China announced today that it will select its third group of astronauts this year.
China's first astronaut, Yang Liwei, now deputy director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, says the first and second astronaut groups were all previously Chinese air force pilots.
The selection of the third group, Yang notes, will also include engineers who will be responsible for maintenance, assembly and other space tasks.
China is eyeing the 2020s as the time frame to develop and occupy a space station.
Mars Discovery Points to Valles Marineris: Hotbed for Fossilized Life?

Researchers have discovered a region on Mars with 130 small volcanoes at the base of Valles Marineris – a potential site for uncovering fossilized life.
Published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, the study was led by Petr Brož from the Institute of Geophysics of the Czech Academy of Science.
Their work points to magma–water interaction, an environment of astrobiological interest — perhaps associated with late-stage activity in the evolution of Valles Marineris — and suggest that the floor of Coprates Chasma is a promising target for on-the-spot exploration of Mars.
Volcanic cones, solidified lava flows
Scientists have wondered for decades whether there has been volcanic activity within Valles Marineris. The new work by the Mars researchers reveals that the Coprates Chasma canyon — one of the lowest points in Valles Marineris — is home to a large number of volcanic cones and solidified lava flows.
Their findings are based on the analysis of high-resolution images acquired by the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), which reveal the cones of scoria and volcanic ash.
In a Czech Academy of Sciences press statement, Brož says: "The 400-meter high cones have also been interpreted as mud volcanoes. But we observed morphological details such as bulging of solidified lava caused by the injection of more recent lava beneath the hardened crust, as well as characteristic surface patterns identical to lava fields on Earth. This reinforces our assumption that we are looking at magmatic rock volcanism, and not liquid mud."

Ideal abode
Along with the existence of volcanoes on the floor of the eastern Valles Marineris, their young age is the second surprise of this study.
"In geological terms, the volcanic cones are very young, just 200 to 400 million years in age," explains Gregory Michael from the Freie Universität Berlin, one of the study's four authors. Therefore, the volcanoes in Coprates Chasma are unrelated to the original formation of the Valles Marineris, as they are significantly younger.
According to co-investigator James Wray from the Georgia Institute of Technology, mineralogical compositions detected in their research can be produced by so-called hydrothermal processes.
This also renders Coprates Chasma interesting for astrobiological studies, Wray notes, as microorganisms on Earth find such warm, energy-rich and mineral-rich environments an ideal abode.
Furthermore, Valles Marineris is home to seasonal flows on warm Martian slopes. These features are called recurring slope lineae (RSL) thought to be salty water flows. "I absolutely agree that the RSL provide yet another exciting reason to prioritize Coprates Chasma as a potential future landing site," Wray told Inside Outer Space.

Future investigation
Spacecraft observations from MRO as well as Europe's Mars Express makes the volcanic field of Coprates Chasma an interesting area for a future investigation of whether life may have emerged in these warm and aqueous environments on Mars. Therefore, this area may well hold bio-signatures on Mars.
"But Coprates Chasma is not just interesting with regard to the question of previous life on Mars. The region would also be an excellent landing site for future Mars Rovers," adds planetary geologist Ernst Hauber from the German Aerospace Center (DLR). "Here we could investigate many scientifically important and interesting topics. Analyzing samples for their elemental isotopic fractions would allow us to determine with far greater precision when the volcanoes were actually active."
Hauber explains that on the towering, steep walls, the geologic evolution of the Valles Marineris acts almost like a history book – gypsum strata and layers of old, crustal rocks can be observed, as well as indications for liquid water trickling down the slopes even today during the warm season.
Hauber concludes: "That is as much Mars geology as you can get!"

If you're shooting for the stars via an interstellar spaceship, start the journey by attending the fifth Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop (TVIW).
A comprehensive schedule of events for TVIW 2017 – "Step by Step: Building a Ladder to the Stars" — is set for October 3-6 in Huntsville, Alabama.
TVIW was founded to outline and develop this Interstellar Vision. The ladder to the stars has many waypoints, attendant milestones and processes. TVIW was founded with a grand vision — to facilitate an "Interstellar" process of knowing and journeying.
Progress and plateaus
According to the group: "To attain grand goals, one must first build an infrastructure that supports steady progress, with plateaus along the way." With this technological, philosophical and economic infrastructure, humankind can set foot on the Moon, establish outposts, even cultures, throughout our solar system, and finally, find its (our) pathway to the stars.

How Best to Spot Extraterrestrial Microbes?
Enhanced-color Cassini spacecraft view of southern latitudes on Enceladus.
Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute
Use of digital holographic microscopy, using lasers to record 3-D images, may be our best bet for spotting extraterrestrial microbes.
The technique is being advocated by Caltech's Jay Nadeau and colleagues as a way to sample and identify living microbes in the outer solar system.
The work has been published this month in the journal Astrobiology within a special issue dedicated to the search for signs of life on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus.
Self-directed motion
"It's harder to distinguish between a microbe and a speck of dust than you'd think," says Caltech's Nadeau, research professor of medical engineering and aerospace in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science.
Narrow jets of gas and icy particles erupt from the south polar region of Enceladus, contributing to the moon's giant plume. A cycle of activity in these small-scale jets may be periodically lofting extra particles into space, causing the overall plume to brighten dramatically.
Credits: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
"You have to differentiate between Brownian motion, which is the random motion of matter, and the intentional, self-directed motion of a living organism," Nadeau said in a press statement.
To study the motion of potential microbes from Enceladus's plumes, Nadeau proposes using an instrument called a digital holographic microscope that has been modified specifically for astrobiology.
In digital holographic microscopy, an object is illuminated with a laser and the light that bounces off the object and back to a detector is measured. This scattered light contains information about the amplitude (the intensity) of the scattered light, and about its phase (a separate property that can be used to tell how far the light traveled after it scattered).
With the two types of information, a computer can reconstruct a 3-D image of the object—one that can show motion through all three dimensions.
"Digital holographic microscopy allows you to see and track even the tiniest of motions," Nadeau says. Furthermore, by tagging potential microbes with fluorescent dyes that bind to broad classes of molecules that are likely to be indicators of life—proteins, sugars, lipids, and nucleic acids—"you can tell what the microbes are made of," she says.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing hemisphere of Enceladus (313 miles or 504 kilometers across). North is up. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 13, 2017.
To study the technology's potential utility for analyzing extraterrestrial samples, Nadeau and her colleagues obtained samples of frigid water from the Arctic, which is sparsely populated with bacteria; those that are present are rendered sluggish by the cold temperatures.
With holographic microscopy, Nadeau was able to identify organisms with population densities of just 1,000 cells per milliliter of volume, similar to what exists in some of the most extreme environments on Earth, such as subglacial lakes.
Next, the team will attempt to replicate their results using samples from other microbe-poor regions on Earth, such as Antarctica.
Nadeau collaborated with Caltech graduate student Manuel Bedrossian and Chris Lindensmith of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

Honestly one of the worst things to read and believe. Daily mail prints complete tripe with zero integrity.
Daily Mail is good to pass time and have a quick browse through some interesting stories, however as it's a tabloid I feel like a lot of the stories may be exaggerated, unknowledgeable or in some cases really not very accurate at all! Still, it's entertaining and has lots of information about celebs if that's what you're interested in!!
It's okay for a quick browse if your online but its so jammed packed with stories about meaningless celebrities and other complete nonsense it just ends up with me bouncing off to the BBC website to read something a bit more accurate, trustworthy and generally more interesting, the daily mail is now just too predictable and I think has gone down hill substantially.
There has been a lot of talk in the press recently about Aldi's Lacura Caviar Illumination Day Cream which costs just £6.99 for a 50 ml pot against the leading expensive brand La Prairie which is £292 so I was interested in trying it out. I am getting to an age where I now need a good face cream so I thought this would be a great opportunity.
I went into my local Aldi (Feltham Middx) and bought some as well as the other "Lacura" range - such reasonable prices but do they perform as they say. I thought I would do the trial on a 7 day basis by using the face wipes morning and night, the Lacura Caviar cream in the day and the Lacura night cream before bed.
After day 5 I really did notice a difference, skin felt a lot softer and had more a glow. I would recommend!. The packaging may not have been as posh but then you just throw that away, but I really recommend it - great value for money - try it!

100% of 8 students said this degree improved their career prospects
100% of 8 students said they would recommend this program to others
Joviane Bellegarde - 9/29/2019
"Northeastern University is a great university known for i's co-op and job placements after graduation. Overall all, my experience was unique and I made long lasting friendships along the way. As both a first generation American, and first generation college student, I often times did not feel that I had the support that I needed while being a student there. Recently, things have changed, and there are student run support groups for low income and first generation college students. i wish that these groups existed when I was an undergraduate student as I would have had a better time adjusting to college."
JH - 5/21/2019
"Attending Northeastern was a complicated experience. On one hand, I was given an excellent education. Northeastern has extremely high quality instructors, advisers, classes, and cooperative education programs that made my college experience unique and wonderful. On the other hand, I would be remiss in writing this review of NEU without addressing the systemic problems within the university. At its core, Northeastern is a corporation. It cannibalizes neighborhoods in Boston, pricing out vulnerable communities to build new dorms. On-campus health care is laughable. The administration protects rapists. The university continues to choose to invest in fossil fuels despite the barrage of science that climate change is a real and pressing issue. Graduate workers are underpaid. Adjunct faculty have no job security or benefits. Attending Northeastern University gave me a great education, so much so that I am able to understand why, at it's core, it is a horrible institution."
Tamara Keeney - 6/10/2017
"Northeastern's focus on experiential education is a hallmark of the university and the part of my education that I value most. There are tremendous resources in terms of networking, professional development and internship placements. Outside of the six month co-op placements, it is an expectation that you will be interning or working part-time during classes. I graduated with a full resume and transitioned seamlessly into the workforce because it had been an integral part of my education. However, this part of Northeastern's culture is not for everyone. Any college experience is what you make of it, but I think this is especially true at Northeastern. Career services is available to connect you with the internships in their system, but I found that the internships most valuable to my career were found through my own searching on job boards and even craigslist. The university has strong ties with employers in most sectors, but I observed that they were most well-suited to make connections for the business students. Overall, I'd say that the experiential education focus of the school is its strongest asset. However, don't assume the system to work for you and your particular career path. Take chances you find outside of the university's list of opportunities. The faculty, as with any university, are hit or miss. I had a handful of professors who were fantastic and another handful that were clearly only teaching because it was part of their charge to be a researcher. Coursework was rigorous in the neuroscience program, but classmates were very collaborative and study groups were common. One of the big draws of Northeastern are amenities like the library, which have ample space for group study sessions and private study. My biggest challenge at Northeastern was its lack of diversity. The majority of students are either international students whose wealth is incomprehensible or upper middle class New Englanders who went to private high schools. I know that this is changing as the university's reputation grows and students from across the country come to Northeastern. However, I had a very difficult time as a first generation college student during my time there from 2009-2013. It's possible to find other students in this position - I eventually did - but it was a hard transition. Overall, my degree from Northeastern - in particular, my internship and co-op experiences - prepared me to succeed in the workforce. I will be attending graduate school this fall and know that the work experience I picked up while at Northeastern was a large factor in my acceptance and financial aid."
Nik - 3/5/2017
"Northeastern University has grown a lot over the years. They have added many majors and reached out to the students to give them the best chance at the career they want. Their co-op program is the best and really helps you on your way to a successful career. I am on co-op now and while I do not necessarily see myself doing this exact job, I definitely love the environment and the company. I will be applying here again after graduation (in a different department). But without Northeastern's program (and available volunteer experience that's helped me get this co-op job), I wouldn't be where I am today. I am eternally grateful."
Danielle - 2/14/2017
"Northeastern's co-op program provided me with experience and it was great for networking. Unfortunately the class sizes were large and many of the counselors on campus were not particularly helpful. Northeastern spends more money on flat screen TVS than things that their students actually need, but I did get a lot out of the experience. Northeastern is a good place for people that are going to work to grab opportunities."
CupcakeLady - 8/8/2016
"Northeastern's co-op program was an invaluable opportunity to gain work experience which enabled me to mare clearly define my career goals and learn what it was actually like to work in my field. It also gave me contacts in the biotech industry before I even graduated and allowed me to begin to build a reputation and get started on my career path before I even graduated. I still rely on contacts I made and experiences I had during my co-ops at Northeastern in my career and education today."
Emily Ellis - 7/25/2016
"As a rising senior at Northeastern University, I've been able to look back on my education and what I've learned. Northeastern has fostered my passion for neuroscience through my courses in clinical neuroscience, psychopharmacology, neurobiology, and behavioral endocrinology. Through the school's internship program, I've been lucky enough to work in the neuroscience research department at Harvard Medical School and Pfizer, studying neural circuits and drug addiction implications in the brain. As my undergraduate career comes to an end, I hope to attend medical school and work towards my goal of becoming a neurosurgeon. With an aptitude for research, a love of learning, and a passion for helping others, I am excited for a career in medicine. Northeastern has not only solidified my dream of becoming a doctor, but has challenged me to think critically and solve problems in scientific research, which has only bolstered my curiosity in my field and pushed me to achieve my goals."
College - 7/22/2016
"It was a great experience. I was involved in the figure skating club on campus and had a co-op with a research lab."

Well, you can put the 3D glasses on top of your actual glasses…but I feel your pain, bro.
Those'd have to be some big glasses… my left eye [can't see anything anyway] is apparently a step down from blind, and I can still fit the 3d glasses on over them. Not that it matters, having no depth perception to begin with.
Maybe Florida does it differently. Oh well.

Under the majority of leases for commercial properties the tenant covenants to return the property to the landlord in good repair. This may be a point not considered at the commencement of the lease. Today, many tenants will take a lease subject to a Schedule of Condition which will limit the tenant�s liability to handing back the property in the condition in which it is originally taken. However, if there is no Schedule of Condition then it is usually implied that the tenant must hand back the property in good condition, no matter what the state of repair at commencement.

Microinfluencers outshine celebrities by capturing 40% of brands' spend, study finds

U.S. marketers are willing to spend up to $32,000 to work with a microinfluencer, or someone with less than 30,000 social media followers, on a campaign versus $39,000 to work with a celebrity influencer with more than 500,000 followers, according to the 2019 Influencer Marketing Global Survey by Rakuten Marketing.
Celebrity influencers comprise 28% of annual influencer spend compared to 40% for microinfluencers. About three out of four brands think influencers are concerned about whether their posts drive sales for the brand, and 67% of marketers know when influencer campaigns drive sales. Nearly 40% of marketers would invest more in influencers if they could see an impact across a broader scope of the consumer purchasing journey.
Consumers most often use Instagram to view influencer content, followed by Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat. Among consumers, 88% have been inspired to purchase based on what they saw from an influencer, 81% made purchase by clicking a link shared by an influencer, and 66% trust product recommendations as long as an influencer discloses their relationship with the brand. Thirty-eight percent of consumers would stop following an influencer if they post content that doesn't align with their core values, personal opinions and ethics.
The Rakuten Marketing is the latest to emphasize that brands are looking beyond an influencer's number of followers and focusing more on quality and the measurable results of an influencer campaign. Quality of followers was the top criteria for choosing which influencers to work with, followed by credibility and reputation and transparency, a study by the World Federations of Advertisers revealed.
As brands are investing more in influencer marketing, their focus is shifting to microinfluencers as a key strategy for engaging with younger consumers who spend more time on social platforms. Plus, 78% of millennials either don't like celebrity endorsements or are indifferent to them, according to eMarketer. Microinfluencers or other non-celebrity influencers are seen as more engaging and trustworthy. While Rakuten Marketing found that brands see the most value in in microinfluencers, other research found that mid-level influencers outperformed both celebrities and microinfluencers in terms of engagement.
Consumers value the authenticity of influencers, and most report discovering new products thanks to an influencer and three-quarters have clicked a link shared by an influencer, according to Rakuten Marketing. An interesting finding of the report is that men are more likely to recommend an influencer in general, and 83% of men and 89% of women are inspired to make a purchase based on an influencer's recommendation. But, consumers are holding brands and the influencers that they work with accountable, by expecting them to reveal the nature of their partnerships and demanding transparency.

They are 15mm x 15mm x 15mm and there are two types - centered on 650nm and 473nm respectively. The price should be around $30 each plus shipping, which won't be a great deal extra per cube. We need to order 50 of each type.
650s will be much more popular but at this price I'm sure everyone with an RGB laser can see the benefit in getting at least one 473nm cube to allow easy upping of blue power in future! OK, sales isn't my forte but I tried!
Put me down for 2 of the 650 nm cubes and 1 of the 473 nm cubes please.
Ill have 2 of each - if we make the 50 of each type what is the cost gonna turn out overall?


As I close out my sophomore year of college, I find that the world is often not as pretty as it used to seem. With adulthood slowly (oh my God, so slowly) creeping up on me, I notice more thorns and less roses every day. It is for this reason that I am most thankful to have read your work. You have a way of telling the bad things in a way that makes them seem less bad and the good things that maybe makes them seem just about on par with the bad. As you've been told before, you've got a way of putting a bitter coating on something sweet. I envy your gallows humor and the way that you find something to laugh at in any given context. No matter what, there is a sense of lightheartedness in your observations that I would never expect from anybody but you. So thank you for showing me that, although life has a really bitter coating sometime, hopefully there's always a sweet center for me to find. In closing, I'd just like to say that I very much admire the way that you, an agnostic, treated those who valued religion. You never made them out to be stupid or behind or evil. For that, I admire you very much. As you said in your Palm Sunday sermon, "Being merciful is the only good idea we have received so far." I try to live by that sentiment every day of my life. Because, God dammit, you've got to be kind.

Art Must Admit the Lesson of Donald Trump's Election or Face Irrelevance
We need to reckon with the shock if we are to combat the horror effectively.

By now, the shock of Donald Trump's election is fading, leaving only the horror.
But we need to reckon with the shock if we are to combat the horror effectively. Since election night, the cultural sphere has valiantly rallied its opinion-leaders, declaring that art must join the fight against whatever terrors a Trump presidency has in store for us.
Katherine Brooks, arts editor of the Huffington Post Arts & Culture page, rallied the troops with a heartfelt post titled "Dear Artists: We Need You Now More Than Ever." She declared:
To artists: Write plays. Paint, sculpt, perform. Write some more. Because we need you more than ever. To everyone else: See plays. Go to museums, concerts, exhibitions. Read. It's not all you can do (in fact, here is a list of timely volunteer and donation opportunities). But I agree—art is, in part, how civilizations heal, provoke and change minds.
And yet everything about the dynamic of this election should raise some critical questions on the limits of cultural activism. The entire cultural establishment—and that means cultural figures far more potent and popular than Brooks's playwrights, sculptors, and novelists—threw its weight behind Hillary Clinton (or at least against Donald Trump) in the final stretch of this campaign.
I mean, the nation's superheroes were even on board, with Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and friends filming cutesy anti-Trump videos! The final sprint brought out giant pop stars across the map: Springsteen and Bon Jovi in Pennsylvania; Jennifer Lopez in Florida; Beyoncé and Jay Z in Ohio. Clinton lost all these states.
Trump, for his part, looked very alone out there in those final days, and was much ridiculed for it. "I didn't have to bring J Lo or Jay Z," Trump declared at a teeming rally in Pennsylvania on November 5th. "I am here all by myself. Just me. No guitar, no piano, no nothing."
As for visual art, I made a good faith effort to round up all the art that made the news during this campaign, and it was clear that Trump lost the art vote by a wide margin.
This Is the Art That Mattered From the 2016 Presidential Election
By Ben Davis , Nov 7, 2016
Mainstream culture failed to be the decisive factor where it was needed. It is even likely that this anti-Trump unanimity may have helped give a false sense of his weakness. (Incidentally, the artists I know who actually left the cosmopolitan bubble seem to have gained a more realistic sense of both the breadth and diversity of Trump's support.)
In the wake of election day, Deborah Cullinan, head of the invaluable Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, penned a stirring statement saying that, in the fight against the forces that the Trump election has unleashed, art spaces could help "name and bring to light a new world that is infused by the brilliance of a collective imagination that is so bright, so empathetic, so powerful that every single person votes with conviction and with compassion."
Cullinan concluded, "it is our cultural institutions that must lead the way." I truly hope that this can be so.
But here's something to consider: Lack of education was one of the biggest predictors of Trump support. Educational attainment, conversely, happens to be "the strongest predictor of museum attendance."
Can we expect museums to "lead" opinion in the sense that Cullinan wants, in the face of this fact? Can we place our faith in the art they show to "heal, provoke and change minds," as Brooks would like, if they don't reach the minds that need to be changed?
We are missing a moment of self-reflection here.

Following the Brexit vote in Britain, I wrote an article titled "After Brexit, Art Must Break Out of Its Bubble." I could write the same now, swapping "Trump" for "Brexit." Speaking on Doug Henwood's show, Behind the News, British political scientist Alan Finlayson made a comparison between the rhetoric of the anti-Brexit "Remain" campaign earlier this year—with its outcome that similarly blindsided the world of established opinion—and the rhetoric surrounding the Clinton campaign:
The "Remain" campaign and the Clinton campaign were in some respects running an identity politics campaign and not realizing that they were doing so. They didn't realize that [the way] they were attempting to persuade people to vote against Brexit really reflected on and relied on some sense of yourself a progressive, forward-looking, liberal, internationalist-oriented cosmopolitan. Their reference points and their style and their jokes and advertising all really reflected a really particular cultural milieu, but they didn't realize that it reflected such a cultural milieu. And I think that exacerbated the identity-based appeals on the other side. They were able to say, "Look at them: They don't care about you. They despise you. They belong to a different world to you. You should be voting on this side."
If we don't reckon with the failures of culture heretofore, we will be doomed to misdirect our energies in the future. The Onion, as usual, sums up the danger economically with its post-election headline: "DNC Aiming To Reconnect With Working-Class Americans With New 'Hamilton'-Inspired Lena Dunham Web Series."
I thought about this this past week when the entire media—social and otherwise—went gaga about the "Hamilton" / Donald Trump feud. On the whole, the theater community congratulated itself, though I'm not sure a musical that costs $1,000 a ticket is quite the voice of the people. The president elect, for his part, did what he does best, leveraging a largely trivial cultural controversy to distract from the shenanigans going on with his cabinet appointments.
Pegasus's graphic comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler.
Given the terrifying rhetoric coming from Trump Tower—they're talking internment camps with unsettling fervor—comparisons to Germany in the 1930s are in vogue. So, I went back to my copy of John Willet's Art and Politics in the Weimar Period this week to see what relevant lessons might be.
There, you find an account of the brilliances of late Weimar culture, rooted in the urgency of a sharpening social crisis. But there is also a cautionary assessment of its failures to have a realistic perspective, born not just of "the old left-wing tendency to underrate the non-urban population, which was where the Nazis had much of their strength," but also of a militant left's very success in creating its own bubble-like universe of radical organizations, including cultural organizations.
John Heartfield, Der Sinn des Hitlergrusses: Kleiner Mann bittet um grosse Gaben. Motto: Millonen Stehen Hinter Mir!" (The Meaning of the Hitler Salute: Little man asks for big gifts. Motto: Millions Stand Behind Me!), 1932. Image via Wikimedia Commons.
This is the period when Bertolt Brecht and John Heartfield made some of their most urgent works. And yet, Willets notes, "all records and recollections of the German Left in this period move the reader at once into a quasi-autonomous sphere, where the notion of a successful battle to take over the vacant political, economic and cultural establishment seems entirely natural."
We know how that ended.
Historical comparisons are both useful and dangerous. Both the activist left and right are dramatically less well-organized today than they were in storm-tossed Germany, where events really had the character of open war. Things are volatile, but not that volatile.
5 Art News Stories That Actually Had an Effect on Election 2016
Let me offer another (equally inexact) historical example, then, to stress that the problem still stands.
In preparation to write about the fine Hélio Oiticica show at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum, I have been reading Roberto Schwarz's magisterial essay about radical culture in Brazil in the 1960s. Schwarz stresses just how mainstream left and anti-imperialist rhetoric had become in the Brazilian culture of the era.
Then, in 1964, a US-sanctioned coup seized power. The resulting junta would emphasize a populist return to "traditional" values: "simple homespun thinking suddenly rose to historical pre-eminence—a crushing experience for the intellectuals, who had become unaccustomed to such things."
Yet the regime initially focused on putting down workers and peasants, leaving the students and artists to stew in their extravagantly radical rhetoric. Some of the glories of modern Brazilian culture flowered in this period, fertilized in this hothouse atmosphere (just as some are now predicting that post-election angst will actually inspire creativity): in art, Oiticica's and Lygia Clark's breakthroughs with participatory sculpture; in theater, Augusto Boal's experimental Theatre of the Oppressed; in education, Paulo Freire's landmark manual for popular education, Pedagogy of the Oppressed; in music, the mind-altering pageantry of the countercultural Tropicalia movement.
Hélio Oiticica, Seja Marginal, Seja Herói (Be an Outlaw, Be a Hero), 1968. Image courtesy Wikiart.
Schwarz recounts the wild acclaim that left-wing theatrical satires of conservatism received. Yet there was a sense, he writes, of "unreality" to it all, of being willfully out of touch with the forces gathering all around:
The real drama was not what was going on on stage. No elements of the critique of populism had been absorbed. Mutual confirmation and enthusiasm might have been important then, but it was also true that the left had just been defeated, which gave a rather inappropriate air of complacency to the wild applause. If the people are intelligent and courageous, why were they defeated? And if it had been defeated, why so much congratulation?
Brazil's anti-dictatorship intelligentsia was isolated and growing more so. Four culturally fertile years after the original coup, in 1968, the dictatorship decided it had had enough of games. It dispensed with the pretenses of free speech and stable rights. Cultural expressions of protest were suppressed or neutralized. A fresh convulsion of brutality seized society.
The bubble proved fragile, as bubbles are.
This is what Sinéad Murphy has called the "art kettle" (referring to the practice of British police of "kettling" protesters, of boxing them in to halt their momentum), the process by which "what we call 'art' operates to physically and psychologically contain a growing population of allegedly 'free' thinkers, speakers, movers and livers."
Note that Schwarz says "mutual confirmation and enthusiasm might have been important then"—as I believe they are now. If an artist at the Whitney Museum wants to turn her artwork upside-down to suggest a world gone wrong, I think that might just be a necessary gesture, just to feel personally that the significance of the moment has been registered.
Maintaining your sanity is necessary. But history and our own recent experience suggest that some soul-searching assessment of the limits of our own gestures, and some clear-eyed analysis of what rhetoric is effective and what is not, is going to be very, very important in the years to come. It will not be enough to languish in mythological beliefs about art's value as a humanistic salve, or even to fly the flag for "political art" as a genre. We have to debate strategy.
Otherwise, we will delude ourselves with endless anti-Trump symbolic theater, applauding our own virtues and confirming our own righteousness within our prescribed sphere, but not advancing one step in the battle of ideas.

Salary and Equity
The campus maintains a faculty committee for the resolution of salary grievances and oversight of the appeals process. The Salary Equity Appeals Committee (SEAC) is a committee of faculty members selected jointly by the Boulder Faculty Assembly Executive Committee and the Vice Provost and Associate Vice Chancellor of Faculty Affairs. Members of the committee will be outgoing members of the Vice Chancellor's Advisory Committee (VCAC). This committee will review any appeal regarding salary equity that has not been resolved at either the primary unit or college/school level. Members of the committee will serve for a term of one to three calendar years. These members may also serve on the Provost's Advisory Committee during the same time period. The Vice Provost and Associate Vice Chancellor for Faculty Affairs chairs the commitee.
CU Boulder maintains a strong commitment to the principles of merit-based evaluation and salary equity. The ultimate responsibility for equity in the salary-setting process rests with the primary unit. When inequities are identified, the cost of correcting the inequity is the responsibility of the department or primary unit unless the dean wishes to relieve the unit of this responsibility.
The appeal process is a multi-step process. Each department or primary unit is required to maintain a written policy that describes the evaluation and appeal process within the unit. Copies of these procedures are to be kept on record at the department, dean, and vice chancellor levels. In short, appeals can only be based on a faculty member's salary and may not be based solely on an annual raise. Equity claims must be based on the salaries of other faculty members in the unit as a whole. If the faculty member is equitably paid in comparison with most other faculty members of similar career merit, the faculty member may not base a claim of inequity on the salary of a single member whose salary is unusually high with respect to that group. Claims cannot be made based on a comparison of salaries of faculty members outside the grievant's primary unit. Other conditions and limitations on appeals exist, and a description of the campus policy related to salary equity appeals, and the format to use in submitting appeals can be downloaded:

Dee Snider joins cast for Avantasia's 'Ghostlights'
Posted by Zach Fehl on October 2, 2015
Building up for the release of their new album Ghostlights, out January 29th via Nuclear Blast Records, Tobias Sammet's Avantasia has slowly been releasing its cast of characters. The newest vocalist to be announced was none other than Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, playing the part of a ghost. Sammet desribes Snyder as a cross between a "peacock, jackal and Bugs Bunny" and "when [he] was younger… the kind of character that [he] wanted to be."
Snider will be joining an already stellar crew featuring Geoff Tate (ex-Queensryche, Operation Mindcrime), Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween, Unisonic), Jorn Lande, and Bob Catley (Magnum), with more to be released in the coming months.
Full statement:
'We're Not Gonna Take It', 'I Wanna Rock', 'The Kids Are Back'… There's hardly any Rock fan around the globe who isn't familiar with the big hits of Rock icons TWISTED SISTER, whose frontman Dee Snider is going to appear on the forthcoming AVANTASIA album 'GHOSTLIGHTS' (out on January, 29th). Besides mastermind Tobias Sammet, vocalists who have been confirmed for the new chapter of the Metal Opera are Geoff Tate (ex-Queensryche, Operation Mindcrime), Jorn Lande, Bob Catley (Magnum) and Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween, Unisonic). More singers are going to be announced soon.
Tobias comments: "I've always been a fan of Twisted Sister and Dee Snider in particular. He is entertaining, flamboyant, energetic, loud, tongue in cheek, colourful and mean! When I was young, I remember that he was the kind of character that I wanted to be. A crossing between peacock, jackal and Bugs Bunny. I loved it! On "Ghostlights" Dee is gonna be a ghost, and what a ghost he is. Great performance. Dee, welcome to the Avantasia family!"

Entrevista con Russ Yallop (Crosstown Rebels / Hot Creations) »
«It's taken as a given that pop music movements have captured the zeitgeist i.e. the spirit of the times, such as punk rebelling and against the, at the time, failing establishment. So music has movements which relate to a moment in time, what's relevant at one moment in time can be irrelevant the next»
Mixside: Despite previous releases as Rusty James, your career as Russ Yallop started with a release in such an important label as Crosstown Rebels. Can you tell us about the story behind it?
Russ Yallop: Haha I always get asked this. I'd known the Crosstown crew a while as I'd been hanging out with Jamie [Jones] and Clive [Henry] since the early Ibiza days, but it was actually my friend Melissa Maouris who passed I Can't Wait to Damian [Lazarus]. He liked it and asked for more stuff, I gave him Rock Me, and things kicked off from there.
MS: What is the reason behind that change in your moniker? What's the difference between Rusty James and Russ Yallop?
R.Y.: Rusty James existed due to unsureness about using my real name, since if things didn't go well I could start afresh. Plus Yallop isn't quite the name I'd choose if I had the choice! Though thanks to Mr. Lazarus's advice I came to the conclusion that using the name Yallop would be a sure-fire way of not being confused with anyone else, so I ditched Rusty James in favour of Russ Yallop.
How was your life before the success of "I Can't Wait"/"Rock You" EP? How did it change? My life is pretty much the same now as it was before, during the week I get up in the morning, walk to the room next door (my studio), sit there until it's time to walk back next door to go to bed. At weekends I'm still in nightclubs, just now it's my name on the poster not someone elses!
MS: What kind of advice would you give to those hundreds of young producers making music from their home studios?
R.Y.: There's such a lot of advice to give so it's hard to know where to start. In terms of technical advice I'd emphasize it's not about kit or software, buying another synth or upgrading your DAW won't make your music any better, if anything it'll just give you something else to learn. Keep your set up simple and organised. Appreciate that engineering your own music to a high standard is not something you are going to be able to do in short amount of time and if you are serious your life is going to have to change to incorporate the time you will need to put in. Most of all take pride in your work. There's no rush to tarnish your name by putting out music when you're not ready, fruit that isn't ripe will be left on the shelf anyway. When you are ready respect your audience by only putting out quality material. After all who's next release would excite you more, the artist who's only done five tracks but all are killers, or an artist who also has five killers but also ten fillers?
MS: How does it feel being part of a family like the Crosstown Rebels?
R.Y.: Ha ha family, I like that. It's great as a lot of us are friends and some have known each other a long time before our careers started. I'm definitely one of the new borns. Not saying who grandad is 😉
MS: Do you feel like belonging to a new generation of House music producers within the UK together with Robert James, Lee Foss, etc? How is your relationship with them? How did you meet them?
R.Y.: It's so great that the UK is back on the map and churning out incredible music. Our butt was whipped by our German friends for so long. As for Rob, Lee and the other producers in the scene we get on great. As said we're mates who party together when we can and obviously respect each other's work at the same time. We've all met at one stage or another at a club or an after party, so odds on one of us was probably without the power of speech at the time, but u kind of see eye to eye straight away as you've all been thru the same process and lead similar lives.
MS: What do you think about other UK sounds as dubstep, drum'n'bass and, in general, "bass music"?
R.Y.: I actually love them, but that doesn't mean I listen to them. Ironically doing the job I do hijacks your music taste and music listening time. The only real time I have to actually just listen to music is usually on my iPod and I'm usually listening to podcasts or new music. I'm kinda an obsessive person so it doesn't really bother me living on a strict diet of house and house only!
MS: Electronic dance music is constantly changing from one sound to the next but it is also kind of circular movement with trends repeating. While some artists stick to their original sound (with little variations), others just evolve and make music according to the current trends. In which group would you include yourself? Why?
R.Y.: Great question and this is a contentious issue for some reason and some people really don't understand it. Ok, being human beings, (when someone starts an answer like that you know a long one is on it's way!) music is about so much more to us than the sounds it's comprised of. It's taken as a given that pop music movements have captured the zeitgeist i.e. the spirit of the times, such as punk rebelling and against the, at the time, failing establishment. So music has movements which relate to a moment in time, what's relevant at one moment in time can be irrelevant the next. I see a similar thing in dance music. I think the minimal movement really captured the attitude of clubbing at that period in time, a shift from the commercialism of the late 90s shifting back to a love of dark rooms playing understated music. So music and moment are inextricably linked.
It's also important to realise dance music is in a constant state of evolution and this evolution is driven by the listener's appetite for originality. This gives those who make it the impetus to constantly explore new sounds and avenues so over time the sound we hear gradually changes, with sounds that are tired and overused being replaced by ones that sound fresh. After a time a whole genre of music will start to sound tired since there are only so many sounds and avenues you can explore, as some sounds just won't fit in, say a banjo in a deep house track. When all the useable sounds and avenues have been explored and repeated and repeated tracks start sounding like other ones and all of a sudden the genre doesn't excite you like it used to. This is usually when the media start declaring the genre as 'dead' and people start looking elsewhere for their dance music fix. But it's also important to bear in mind what sounds tired to some people won't to everyone, this is why some people move on and others don't. Of course neither is wrong or right, it just depends on your personality.
Me personally I'm a mover not a sticker. I look at dance music like a wave I'm surfing, constantly adapting my sound, ready to go with something new if I think it works. I find the idea of being restricted to the sounds and vibes of one genre for eternity horrifying, I think I'd lose interest altogether if I was forced to. I find the notion that you should show some sort of loyalty to a particular set of sounds or vibes bizarre as it's when 'a new sound' is in it's infancy is when's most exciting as there's so much room for innovation. All the genres use the same fundamentals anyway, and even the producer's who class themselves as 'stickers' will gradually change what they play since the audience's taste evolves too. Don't fight it, it's a positive thing, it's why dance will never die.
MS: You have two new releases scheduled in 2011. The first one will be released in Rebellion and the second in Hot Creations. What can you advance us about those works?
R.Y: The Crossroads is the Rebellion release and it's a soulful disco number which I sang myself using a full orchestra and a canister of helium. I've a few things lined up for Hot Creations, one is a track called System Crank which was done with some friends called the Wildkats which I've been playing a lot recently.
MS: Where your interest in electronic music comes from?
R.Y.: Just from a love of music and partying. Dance music lets u do both at the same time it's pretty neat.
MS: Talk us about your Dj experience. Which were the most quality parties you have played so far? Where would you love to play?
R.Y.: I've actually been DJing a long time as I used to play hip hop and R&B at student nights for some extra cash to fund my pursuit of producing house music, so I feel very at home behind the decks and haven't felt nerves or pressure for years. One of the my favourite parties I've played for is Kubicle, an east London Sunday house music institution where all my friends hang out. I'd love to play for Circo Loco at DC10, my favourite club. Scratch club, put place instead 🙂
MS: In your opinion, what turns a normal night into an unforgettable party?
R.Y.: A knowledgeable crowd. When you play a track which is brand spanking new that could have only been heard in clubs yet still everyone knows it is when you know you have a knowledgeable crowd.
MS: To finish, can you name some of your favourite artists within the scene right now?
R.Y.: My standard answer, Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Robert James. There are loads of others I'm digging but these three are kinda out in front so I just say these three to avoid saying a long list!

How Well Can You Guess What Your Partner Is Feeling?
How to Use Social Media Without Losing Your Mind

The Power of Imagination
Boosting Your Teen's EQ
Do you have a bright teen with a poor EQ?
Do you have a bright teenage child who is nevertheless struggling at school or having difficulty socially? Your child's IQ and SAT scores probably aren't the culprit. Child education psychologists agree that EQ—or emotional intelligence—has much more influence on your child's success, now and in the future.
Emotional intelligence, first described by Peter Salovey and John Mayer, two Yale University psychologists in 1990, refers to five main emotional competency areas:
Emotional self-awareness: recognizing, naming, and understanding the cause of one's feelings;
Handling emotions appropriately: demonstrating productive options for managing stress and upsetting feelings rather than "acting-out" negatively;
Self-motivation: thinking, planning, and solving problems by using impulse control, frustration tolerance, and delayed gratification to reach a specific goal;
Empathy: recognizing and understanding emotions in others; andSocial skills: handling emotions in relationships and interacting harmoniously with others.
As a parent, you can help your child develop her EQ. It's never too late—and your child is never too old—for you to begin talking with her, asking her sensitive questions, listening to her responses, and offering gentle guidance or advice. Teenagers often get less physical touch and less one-on-one intimate conversation time with their parents than younger kids and toddlers do. And although they are good at hiding it, teens crave parenting.
To help a teen boost his EQ, look at each of the five competencies above, and use them as a framework to observe your child's behavior. Perhaps your child cursed up a blue streak when he didn't get what he wanted. Or he failed to notice that you were very tired and stressed out after dinner when he had all his demands. Consider such behaviors teaching moments. Give him a hint about a different way to handle or look at the situation. Instead of telling him how to behave, however, ask him what he noticed, felt, or wanted. By gently pointing out new ways to interact with others, you give your teen an opportunity to learn and practice some new skills.
To reinforce these behaviors, don't forget to praise your teen when she is exceptionally kind, or intuitive about another's feelings, or is patient, flexible, or communicative. Little by little, your bright teen can grow into an emotionally brilliant adult.

The digital currency trends: are Bitcoiners the new vegans?
You are at:Home»News»The digital currency trends: are Bitcoiners the new vegans?
Remember when we talked about living a whole week only with Bitcoins? This experience was lived by Kashmir Hill, a journalist from Forbes, who decided to see for herself how it is to live with your wallet full of digital currency.
We resumed the experience in a 99Bitcoins post, but decided to talk about it again because the journalist observed a lot of new tendencies that are worth to talk about.
On the fourth day of the experience, Kashmir Hill, who had been ordering her meals from Foodler, a food delivery service partnered with dozens of restaurants in San Francisco, started the day with this new "tradition" and a wrap with roasted veggies. Not bad, if you consider that the number of restaurants that accept Bitcoin is still very low, as well as the number of groceries. This one is, actually, almost absent.
After her work day is over, she has to buy a gift and goes back to a place where she had already been, the cupcake store Cups and Cakes, which takes Bitcoins. And, if in the first months accepting digital currency, they had one customer monthly wanting to use Bitcoin, now it happens almost every day. A sign that times are changing.
Kashmir Hill then goes to the grocery Buyer's Best Friend, one of the few that accepts Bitcoins. Later, she talks to Adam Sah, a start-up entrepreneur who founded this artisanal food wholesaler, in 2010. "Being part of this early adopter community is great, because people excited about Bitcoin will come in. People experimenting with this currency are highly likely to talk to each other", he says.
Then, Adam Sah explains this tendency to compare Bitcoiners and vegans. It's not because digital currency users only like to eat veggies, it's because "offering to accept Bitcoins is like offering delicious vegan products. Vegans are devoted customers; they get really excited about our baconless bacon hot sauce and our cocomels – coconut caramels that are vegan. Bitcoin is a trend like veganism or gluten-free". Do you understand now?
It's the perfect analogy to define Bitcoiners. They are the "digital vegans"!


How to open the "path" folder?

Where Is He Now?
Kyle Chrisley formed with his wife Alexis the musical duo called Lexi & Kyle Chrisley, and their debut single entitled "Shame On You" was released in September of 2014. The duo has also released other singles such as "Country Baby" and "Outta Here". In addition, to promote their work, they run their official Facebook page under the same name.
In 2017, Kyle revealed in an interview with the Radar Online that he has been sober for four years.
Kyle Chrisley Net Worth and Assets
Kyle was active in the entertainment industry as a reality television personality in 2014, which added a considerable amount to his net worth and increased his popularity.

According to sources, it has been estimated that the total size of Kyle's net worth is over $300,000, accumulated from his on-screen appearance, and music career with his wife. His assets include a 3,000 square foot house in Atlanta, Georgia.
Life behind the Camera
When it comes to speak about his personal life, Kyle Chirsley has been married to his wife Alexis Whilby-Chrisley since 2014. The couple's current residence is in Atlanta, Georgia.
He previously dated Angela Victoria Johnson, with whom he has a daughter, Chloe Chrisley.
However, Angela claims that Kyle abused and tried to choke her during their relationship and her pregnancy. Thus, due to that as well as drug use, he lost custody of Chloe, while his father and his current wife were awarded custody of their granddaughter, who appears with them in the show.

The restaurant has been going for few years and is still one of the reputable seafood house. No lavish setting with minimal decor but definitely with a comfortable environment to dine in.
Restaurant TaK Fok is also known for it's cheap seafood (crabs)!
Above pic -portion for 2.Tasted good, without overpowering aroma. It would be even nicer if they are big crabbies. But then again, Tak Fok is famous for it's cheap crabs dishes and if you prefer big and juicy crabs- no, not here!
Thumbs up! Thick and aromatic gravy with succulent and juicy prawns!
A simple crispy fried bean curd but am loving it so much! The crispy layer tasted awesome!
A vegetable dish is a must! Acting healthy?
Where to dine? Here's another suggestion for casual dining. There is another branch at Kepong. I have visited the branch in Bandar Puteri Puchong. Service was not that bad as what I have seen from net. Good Luck!
