Privacy-centric cryptocurrency zcash is one of five cryptocurrencies Coinbase is "exploring" adding to its platform.
Zcash, the 21st-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of more than $1.4 billion, jumped more than 50% this week, according to CoinMarketCap, pushed by the news that the Gemini exchange will list the cryptocurrency next week.
The New York Department of Financial Services approved Gemini's request to add three ZEC markets – ZEC/USD, ZEC/BTC and ZEC/ETH – making it the exchange's third cryptocurrency. The exchange already supports trading pairs for ether and bitcoin. Gemini has also been approved to list bitcoin cash and litecoin, but it has not said when these cryptocurrencies will be added.
The New York department's approval bodes well for zcash, as the state is considered by many to be one of the strictest regulatory bodies in the U.S. Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini CEO, said zcash brings the strength of its privacy, an advantage that bitcoin lacks.
The zcash price jumped from $248.22 to $381.43 from May 13 to 15. After dipping to $308.47 on May 17, the price was back to $377.56 the next day with a market cap of just under $1.5 billion,and was back down to $355.65 today. The cryptocurrency has seen $181 million in volume in the last 24 hours.
That said, the zcash price remains well below the all-time high of $876.31 it reached on Jan. 7, which gave it a $2.635 billion market cap. The price then tumbled to $187.78 by April 8 before mounting a recovery to its current price.
Zcash's performance stood out among altcoins for the past week, as the cryptocurrency market lost more than $42 billion in a three-day period. On May 18, bitcoin fell below the $8,000 mark for the first time since the middle of April.
Brian Kelly, BKCM founder and CNBC Fast Trader contributor, said the market did not reflect the positive news that Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and the New York Stock Exchange acknowledged they would create cryptocurrency platforms to allow clients to invest in cryptocurrency.

Elschnig pearl formation along the posterior capsulotomy margin after neodymium:YAG capsulotomy
K. Kato, D. Kurosaka, H. Bissen-Miyajima, K. Negishi, E. Hara, T. Nagamoto
Purpose: To determine the incidence of Elschnig pearl formation along the capsulotomy margin (string of pearls) after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy and to elucidate its clinical features, predisposing factors, effect on visual function, and association with additional capsulotomy. Setting: Keio University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. Methods: The records of 418 eyes that had Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy after cataract surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Of those, 315 were excluded for short follow-up (fewer than 12 months) or insufficient clinical examination data. In the remaining 103 eyes, the incidence of string of pearls was calculated, and its clinical features, predisposing factors, effect on visual function, and correlation with additional capsulotomy were evaluated. Results: String of pearls was identified in 49 eyes (47.6%); 37 (75.5%) developed pearls within 1 year after Nd:YAG capsulotomy. The incidence was significantly higher in patients having intraocular lens implantation and continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) than in those without (95.9 versus 61.1% and 97.9 versus 55.6%, respectively). No significant differences were found in patient age and sex, total Nd:YAG energy, and the presence of diabetes mellitus or high myopia. String of pearls caused visual disturbances in 17 eyes (34.7%). The rate of repeat capsulotomy was higher in patients with string of pearls than in those without (36.7 and 9.3%, respectively). Conclusions: String of pearls formation was a common and significant complication after Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy. Intraocular lens implantation and CCC may promote its formation.

Thanks for the great list. There's so much here that would be great for gifts for teens and adults, too.
Kind of strange, though, that many of the projects are listed as being for boys, even though they'd be great for any gender. I know you're just reposting the titles, of course. But it's always dismaying to see the "pink ghetto" of girls toys is widespread in the diy world.
I guess the best thing to do is for me to roll up my sleeves and make some of these for my kids of both genders (like that awesome ruler belt)!
Awesome round up! Thanks for including my Princess Hat Tutorial!

Allie – Thanks for the heads up. We checked the blog from different browsers but couldn't find a problem. Sometime we have ads on the site that expand when you roll over them. That might be what happened.
Thanks for your great 101 topics in just one list.I'm looking for some kids gift, Momentarily I found a lot of items.Thanks !!Very helpful indeed.

Therapists are developing a new specialty for emotional issues around money
Judith Kogan Nov 28, 2018

In 2016, Stephen Read and his wife Kathy sought help from a financial therapist for their diametrically opposed approaches to savings. When they talked about money, there was emotional discord.
"I've often joked that Kathy will leave this earth with her life savings still in the bank. I, on the other hand, want my last check to bounce," Stephen said.
After three sessions with their financial therapist, Kathy said, the therapy seemed to be working.
"The most helpful aspect of financial therapy has been that we've learned to listen more empathetically when we air our views on money — regardless of how different they may be," she said.
The Financial Therapy Association is a group nearly a decade old that represents therapists who aim to help people with emotional issues around money.
Megan Ford, a past president of the Financial Therapy Association, said many clients seek help as couples.
"I think it's often an opposites situation. Spender vs. spender, the misalignment of goals around money, the differences in values between the two," Ford noted.
A 2009 forum that brought together researchers and practitioners from the fields of mental health and financial services led to the creation of the association the following year. It now has over 250 members.
The Reads' financial therapist, Maggie Baker, said she tries to get people to understand their unconscious beliefs around money.
She believes some people have what she calls a "ruptured relationship with money." As she explained, "money should work for them, but they kind of work for money. Money controls them in a self-sabotaging way."
Financial therapy is not yet a regulated field, but depending on where they live and levels of expertise, therapists can charge between $100 and $400 an hour. Baker charges $175 per session for her services.
Meg Lurtz, president-elect of the association, said the group is developing a certification program that will require competence in both the mental health and financial services fields.
"We want to bring a level of expertise and professionalism to people that're going to be calling themselves financial therapists," Lurtz said.
The organization expects to have the certification process in place by the end of the year.

From WFSB.com, Following a debate that lasted several hours, the Connecticut Senate passed the toughest gun control laws in the country, and now the package heads to the House.
On Monday, a bipartisan agreement on gun control was unveiled by lawmakers that proposed limiting magazines to no more than 10 rounds. Those who currently have larger magazines would have to register them with state police.
The legislation, which is more than 100 pages long, also proposed strong penalties for anyone who carries large ammunition magazines away from home or a gun range.
The state would also become the first in the country to create a dangerous weapon offender registry and there would be universal background checks for assault weapons.
Connecticut will join the ranks of New York, New Jersey, and California by severely infringing on the rights of lawful gun owners.
The state house already passed a similar version of the bill and is expected to pass the updated version. The governor has already let it be known that he would sign the legislation.
Some parts of the law would immediately become effective once the law is signed.

Q: Apply a style to a button when pressed using CSS only on touch devices Is it possible to style a button on touch devices using CSS only?
I know :hover works for adding a style, but I can't remove the style when the user presses off the button and on to the pages background.
Is there a CSS-only solution or would I need to delve into JavaScript?

A: You can use :focus

.btn{
  border: solid 0px;
  color: white;
  background-color: blue;
  padding: 4px 10px;
  font-weight: 450;
  font-size: 15px;
}

.btn:hover,
.btn:focus{
  cursor: pointer;
  background-color: green;
}
<input
    class="btn"
    type="submit"
    value="Button"
>

Try
<body ontouchstart="">
    ...
</body>

Source

A: Use :active.

button {
  background: blue;
  color: white;
  border: none;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 0 5px 10px -5px blue;
  cursor: pointer;
}

button:active {
  box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.5) inset;
  transform: scale(0.9);
}
<button>Click me</button>

Don't use :focus for the pressed state. It's for selecting elements with, e.g., the Tab key.

A: Try this:
body::after{ content: "I don't know what you are using to click" }

@media (pointer: coarse) {
  body { background: crimson }
  body::after{ content: "Your primary input mechanism is a finger" }
}

@media (pointer: fine) {
  body { background: goldenrod }
  body::after{ content: "Your primary input mechanism is a mouse" }

Höllviken es una localidad sueca ubicada al suroeste de Escania entre Malmö y el puente de Øresund, el cual enlaza Suecia con Dinamarca. Según el censo de 2010 su población es de 10.607 habitantes.

La ciudad está considerada un resort veraniego por los ciudadanos del norte de Europa por sus playas de arena blanca, las cuales están bañadas por el mar Báltico y el estrecho de Oresund. Aparte del turismo lúdico, los turistas pueden visitar museos históricos sobre la era vikinga

A principio de los años 60, la zona fue poblada por hombres de negocios procedentes de la región de Malmö. En el presente, la ciudad empezó a crecer como "ciudad dormitorio".

When his owners moved, they abandoned George, leaving him outside to fend for himself. He took refuge in a small area of trees in between subdivisions. George was scared to the point that no one could approach him, and he would forage for food on garbage days or when a nearby home would put out some food. He lived this way for months, fearful of all people. He would hide in the woods, infrequently laying on lawns just outside of the trees. He was lonely and scared. Top Dog Rescue received a call to help, and within a week had live-trapped George with some warm fried chicken as bait.
George's life today is fantastic! After a lot of work to build his trust, he became an extremely loving boy. His new forever home has taken him to training classes, and he has become the baby of the family, enjoying lots of walks, play times, and snuggling. What a difference love and care can make!
Did you know for every dollar you donate to Rescue Bank, a rescue group saves $17 in food costs that they can use to save more lives?! Help more dogs like George by clicking here.

Aid is critical to reducing poverty in developing countries.
Because aid really works. Millions more children around the world are now going to school – developing the skills needed to make a decent living and increasing their chances of breaking free from poverty. Water and sanitation projects are now making it easier for people in developing countries to have access to clean, safe water – improving the health and livelihoods of some of the world's poorest people. But there is still more to be done. Oxfam is working hard, encouraging governments such as our own New Zealand Government, and international organisations like the UN to meet their promises on aid, and to spend it more effectively – by targeting people who most need help.
Why should NZ commit to 0.7 percent of GNI spent on aid?
As many as 1.4 billion people in the developing world (one in four) are living in extreme poverty, on less than US$1.25 a day, according to the World Bank. If you take one of our closest neighbours, Vanuatu, at least 40 percent of the population lives below the National Basic Needs Poverty Line.
Oxfam believes New Zealand can do better. We need do our fair share in the fight on global poverty, especially in the Pacific, by reaching 0.7 percent Gross National Income (GNI) for overseas development by 2015. WE may not feel rich but New Zealand is collectively the 20th richest country per head out of 177 countries in the world, so we can afford to help the poorest in other countries. Moreover, a 2007 survey undertaken by UMR Research found that 76 percent of New Zealanders supported giving Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) and more than 60 percent of New Zealanders supported meeting the 0.7 percent target.
We should not only give aid because of a moral commitment to help others, but helping others in other countries will also make this a safer and more secure world for all. We welcome the recent increase in ODA in recent years but New Zealand was still only ranked 17th out of the 22 OECD countries for overseas aid spending per capita in 2007 as a proportion of national income.

Sweden Will Deport 106-Year-Old Woman Back To Afghanistan
By Katie Serena
The Scandinavian country denied her application for asylum.
The Swedish Migration Agency has denied the asylum application of a 106-year-old woman, believed to be the world's oldest refugee.
Bibikhal Uzbeki, an Afghani woman, has been living in the Swedish city of Skaraborg for the past year and is blind and confined to a bed.
In 2015, Uzbeki fled her hometown of Kunduz, Afghanistan with her family in order to escape the increasing Taliban influence. After traveling through Iran, Turkey, Greece and Germany she arrived in Croatia, and was sent to a refugee camp in Opatovac, near the Serbian border. She then moved with her family to the camp in Skaraborg.
Due to her age, Uzbeki relied on her family to support her along the journey. At times, her sons even carried her on a stretcher across rough terrain.
"It was a difficult journey for the whole family. We carried her until we reached Germany, there a doctor finally gave us a wheelchair," her son Mohammed told a Swedish newspaper.
Uzbeki's asylum request was rejected in June, on the grounds that her hometown was now safe enough for her to return to.
Since 2001, Uzbeki's hometown of Kunduz, Afghanistan has been a war zone. During the reign of the Karzai administration, Taliban forces took hold of the town, and have been fighting with Afghan officials over the land ever since. The war not only created turmoil on a global political scale, but also forced hundreds of thousands of civilians, like Uzbeki, into seeking refuge in foreign nations.
Uzbeki has been given the option to appeal the decision in front of the Migration Court, but the decision is unlikely to change.
Sweden was once at the forefront of the refugee crisis, taking in 650,000 refugees in the past 15 years, 163,000 of those last year alone. However, their humanitarian efforts soon became a national crisis, as the country's ability to resettle the immigrants they were taking in began to wane.
Immigrant camps that were once top of the line turned to ghetto-like suburbs, as employment rates dropped for immigrant families. In February, riots broke out in Stockholm over the treatment of immigrants and the conditions of the immigrant communities, and Sweden's National Police Commissioner went on national television to beg for assistance from other nations.
Since the riots began, asylum seekers who were denied their requests have gone into hiding, simply refusing to leave the country. The head of terrorism research at the Swedish Defense University Magnus Ranstorp said roughly 12,000 of those who were denied requests have gone underground in an attempt to remain in the country. He explained that while they know they can't keep all of the refugees, there is a downside to turning them away.
"Because you have a lot of people who come in who will not be allowed to stay, and that in itself creates a pool of people who will try to elude themselves from the authorities," he said. "They become a shadow population with no rights. And that fuels extremism in all different directions."

New Colorado rules on marijuana edibles aim to curb accidental use by kids
Matt Stensland / Steamboat Today
Edible products that are in geometric shapes and are fruit flavored will still be allowed.
New marijuana rules that go into effect Oct. 1 aim to keep marijuana products from getting into the hands of children.
"These regulations reflect extensive stakeholder input focused on public safety and legislative intent," Colorado Department of Revenue Executive Director Mike Hartman said in a news release. "Marijuana products in shape and branding should not be enticing to children, and we want consumers to be educated about the potency of the products they are buying. These rules ensure that to be the case."
Beginning Oct. 1, marijuana stores will no longer be able to sell marijuana-infused edibles that are in the shape of a human, animal or fruit. That includes shapes that resemble or contain characteristics of a realistic or fictional human, animal or fruit, including artistic, caricature or cartoon renderings.
Steamboat Springs-based Rocky Mountain Remedies is owned by Kevin Fisher, who helped shape some of the state's first marijuana laws. Fisher said the rule is not intended to keep marijuana out of the hands of kids who knowingly want to use marijuana. Instead, it is intended to be less attractive to young children who do not know what the product is.
"We're trying to create another level of safety for them," Fisher said.
Fisher said he believed that many of the products that will be affected by the new rule have already been fazed out.
There is another rule taking effect that relates to how marijuana potency is labeled on products.
Products must be labeled either in a font size that is at least two font sizes larger than the surrounding label text and also not less than 10 point font, bold and enclosed within an outlined shape such as a circle or square or highlighted with a bright color such as yellow.
"We're happy to comply," Fisher said.
Marijuana stores that still have an inventory of the products with the old labels will still be able to sell those products after Oct. 1.

Conservative commentator and economic analyst Larry Kudlow speaks on CNBC's set at the New York Stock Exchange on March 8.
President Trump has picked economist and CNBC commentator Larry Kudlow as director of the White House National Economic Council, and Kudlow has accepted the post, the White House said Wednesday.
Kudlow, 70, will replace Gary Cohn, who stepped down after losing a battle against imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
"Larry Kudlow was offered, and accepted, the position of Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said. "We will work to have an orderly transition and will keep everyone posted on the timing of him officially assuming the role."
A longtime free-markets conservative who worked on Wall Street, Kudlow supports most traditional Republican fiscal policies, which may quiet concerns among congressional Republicans and investors that the president will surround himself with trade protectionists.
Kudlow has known Trump for years and advised him on policy matters during the 2016 campaign. He largely supports the president's agenda and has been a big advocate of his tax cuts.
"Trump and the GOP are on the side of the growth angels with the passage of powerful tax-cut legislation to boost business investment, wages, and take-home family pay," Kudlow wrote after the Republican tax bill passed in December.
But he has criticized Trump's trade policies. For example, he recently said any move to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement would be a "calamitously bad decision."
Like Cohn, he also opposed the steel and aluminum tariffs announced earlier this month, telling CNBC: "In the Reagan years, we used to call the free traders the 'white hats' and the protectionists the 'black hats.' The black hats won this time around and I'm very sorry, because it will damage the economy to some extent."
Kudlow told The Wall Street Journal he had voiced his concerns to the president and was encouraged by Trump's decision to exempt Canada, Mexico and Australia from the tariffs.
"He said to me several times, 'I believe in global trade. I regard myself as a global trader, but it has to be fair trade to protect America,' " Kudlow told the Journal. "I'm on board with that. I personally hope widespread tariff use — it doesn't come to that. But in some cases, it will."
On his recent podcast, Kudlow noted: "Mr. Trump has a negotiating style that is very interesting to me. He comes at you — like he's going to punch you in the teeth with all these tariffs. But then he pulls back and starts making, you know, negotiating deals that can work. That looks to me like, you know, that's his art of the deal. It's in his book. That looks to me like what he's doing here on tariffs. He comes out really hard and strong. Scares everybody. But then he starts to pull back and withdraw."
Kudlow does not have an economics degree. After serving in the White House Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan, he was hired as chief economist at Bear Stearns. But he was forced out amid struggles with drug use, a problem he has spoken about publicly.
Since then he has been a regular commentator and host on CNBC and has written often on economic matters. But he was criticized for repeatedly downplaying the economy's troubles in the months leading up to the Great Recession.
"There ain't no recession," he wrote in December 2007. "The Bush boom is alive and well."
Kudlow also warned that subsequent Federal Reserve policies aimed at stimulating the economy would lead to higher inflation, which didn't happen.

"Online dating?! Are you crazy?" For ten years, that was my line of thinking about searching for love on the Internet. I was convinced that only losers spend their evenings staring into a monitor instead of sitting in a restaurant with a real woman. But a year ago, my company decided to expand its offices into Canada. At first, I thought it would mean only two or three business trips a year, but then I was offered a promotion that came with a transfer to Ottawa. The prospect of being a single and friendless guy in a new country scared me. So while preparing for my move, I decided to take advantage of new technologies and try out online dating.
I found this VictoriaHearts review and joined this international site to look for beauties from Canada. It attracted me with its customer-oriented approach and unique services.
So here is the story how Victoria Hearts helped a lonely 30-years-old guy find a girlfriend in Canada.
This site is a platform with a focus on a long-lasting relationship. Although anyone can join, only those who are highly motivated to start something meaningful will be able to be active for any period of time. The reason is its pricing policy. VictoriaHearts is a premium dating site that uses a business model in which members must pay for a subscription to be able to exchange messages or chat with others.
The only thing you can do without charge is create a profile and view other profiles. If you want to read incoming messages, view private photos of female members, and get access to your statistics (how many views or likes you received), you need to gain premium status with a subscription fee of $9.99. This package includes 20 credits you can spend immediately on messages and chatting.
Of course, that's not a whole lot. That money will only get you 10 minutes in a live chat. I eventually came to view Victoria Hearts like a stock market, where you see a lot of opportunities but need to be careful in selecting where you invest your time and money. Those who succeed are mentally prepared to demonstrate the commitment that many of its romance-minded, traditionally oriented women eventually to see from their suitors, including virtual gifts and flower delivery that can be arranged without even leaving VictoriaHearts. The site even helped organize my trip to Montreal for my first date. But if you don't have the money or don't want to spend it on finding love online, I can tell you straight up that you won't have any chances to meet someone special here.
And that's how this site essentially screens its members. Professional flirters or flakes who never intend on starting a real relationship will never pay for dating services. As a rule, they flock to free platforms. So being a premium member of this site, you can be sure that every woman you meet here dreams about true love and a long-lasting relationship. And this is only one of the reasons why this platform is worth your trust.
The absolute safety of each member is a key principle of VictoriaHearts, regardless of whether they're a guy from Ottawa or a woman from Ukraine. The site's administrators understand the importance of privacy and they take all possible measures to guarantee it. You don't need to disclose your last name, address, ID, or phone number to join the site. It's sufficient to indicate only your name, e-mail address, date of birth and gender.
Other personal information, such as credit card info, is reliably protected by modern 128-bit SSL encryption that makes it impossible for hackers to gain anything. And its order processing services – verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode – guarantee the security of your transactions.
When you've reached the point of meeting your romance in person, VictoriaHearts offers a verification procedure to confirm each other's identities and further solidify the trust you've built between each other. At the same time, you continue maintaining your privacy.
After the simple registration procedure (which takes no more than five minutes), you are asked to fill out a basic questionnaire about yourself and your dream lover. The site's matching algorithms use this information to find the best suited partners. So if you want good matches to be generated, I recommend not skipping questions and answering them as accurately as you can. But if you're the type that prefers to do the search all on your own, you can freely skip the questions and head for the site's search tools.
Frankly, that's what I did. I understood that the main dating criterion for me was the partner's country, as I registered on VictoriaHearts to specifically find a girl with whom I could spend my free time in Ottawa. So its search engine – which included country of residence — was the most efficient way to find what I needed. There are three types of searches on this site – a simple search based on age, an extended search with numerous categories such as education level and drinking habits, and the playful Faces tool.
Faces is a fun game in which you can flip through the photos of random female members and pursue them by relying on your gut instinct. You can choose to Like them, hoping for a response in return (which indeed happens more often than not!), or you can head straight for their profile in alpha-male style and begin to woo them with your charm.
When I registered on this dating platform, there were not so many Canadian members. But gradually new attractive girls were joining the site every day. Unfortunately, the girls from Ottawa weren't my type, but there were three Montreal girls I liked on VictoriaHearts.com. And one of them won me over. We started out communicating by exchanging long letters. After nearly ten of them, we moved to a live chat. And after a month of texting, we decided to exchange contact details and had to go through the verification procedure. Yet it took me only 5 minutes to complete the necessary form, and two days to get verified.
Once my online girlfriend and I had become validated members, we moved onto Skype. But I used the site a few more times, ordering flowers and romantic gifts for her at the VictoriaHearts online shop and asking the team's help in organizing our first date in Montreal.
Here are the pros and cons of this dating site.
Ability to verify your partner's identity.
Fast and friendly 24/7 support team.
This Victoria Hearts review helped me achieve my goal of finding an amazing girl in Canada, a country that I was entirely new too, with whom I could spend my weekends with. So I can safely say that this site offers online dating services that will get you results. I'm still finding my way around my new country, but at least I'm not lonely anymore. And if you are still skeptical about online dating, you need to realize the right woman is not going to fall into your lap these days. You need to go out and find her and Victoria Heart is as good a place as any. While I was using VictoriaHearts I also try this dating site to compare the service. I can say if your are looking girl from Asia you should go there first.
How can I do a payment, I live in south-africa, please tell me what to do. And I am a member.
Please contact support@victoriahearts.com. Support will help you.

Killings Escalate in Central Philippines
in Culture, National Security, News, Sarawut News
Killings in the Philippines' Negros Oriental province surged over the weekend, with the 14th fatal shooting on Negros island in a week. Media reports said gunmen shot dead Anaciancino Rosalita in a public market in Canlaon City. Local activists contend that his death is just the latest murder in the government's ostensible campaign to suppress "lawless violence."
The island of Negros has a long history of violence stemming from festering issues of land rights, poverty, and injustice. Peasant and farmer groups have campaigned for land reform over the island's vast sugar plantations amidst fighting between communist insurgents and government forces. Both sides have been implicated in countless human rights abuses.

Duterte wants probe into SEA Games mess as criticism grows
The attacks increased dramatically after the New People's Army (NPA) killed four police officers on July 18 in Ayungon town. The police allege the officers had been tortured and then executed. The NPA denied this, although they confirmed killing the officers in an ambush.
On July 22, President Rodrigo Duterte denounced the killings and offered a reward for the capture of those responsible. Since then, there have been multiple daily killings in the province. On July 25 alone, seven people were killed in separate summary killings in different parts of the province. On July 23, unidentified gunmen killed Anthony Trinidad, a human rights lawyer, in Guihulngan City.

The spiraling violence has prompted the local Catholic diocese and other religious denominations to take action while others call for investigations. Human rights defenders and activist groups have blamed the government for the killings, citing its six-month-long counter-insurgency operation against the NPA, called Operation Sauron. They have also accused the government of "red-baiting" activists and farmers groups as supporters of the NPA, putting them at risk of attack.
Responsibility for the killings remains unclear. But both the government and the NPA should take all necessary measures to end unlawful attacks, either by their forces or armed elements linked to them. Killing civilians and captured combatants are war crimes.

(NaturalNews) Radio personality Dr. Drew Pinsky once touted GlaxoSmithKline PLC's antidepressant Wellbutrin as one of a few such medications he prescribed to patients suffering from depression because it "may enhance or at least not suppress sexual arousal" as much as other antidepressants.
What he didn't tell listeners during that 1999 endorsement; however, was that two months earlier Dr. Pinsky – who rose to fame as "Dr. Drew," co-hosting a popular radio sex-advice show, "Loveline" – received the second of two payments from GSK for a total of $275,000 for "services for Wellbutrin," The Wall Street Journal reported.
The paper said the payments were made to Pinsky via a communications firm that worked for GSK, according to revelations in an attachment to a complaint filed by the U.S. government in October 2011 in a Massachusetts federal court. The documents were disclosed in early July after the Justice Department announced a $3 billion criminal and civil settlement with GSK over illegal medication marketing, among other things.
How To Sell Drugs to Children — GlaxoSmithKline & Shrinks for Sale
The international pharmaceutical giant took top-prescribing psychiatrists to pricey resorts in Bermuda, Jamaica, Hawaii and other exotic locales where, in between spa services, they could hear speeches from fellow shrinks that the company paid to dither on about how kids should pop its pills.
America's children were depressed. They needed antidepressants. It was GlaxoSmithKline to the rescue.
Paxil was never approved for use by anyone under 18, but GlaxoSmithKline had 1,900 sales reps visiting doctor's offices, and pushing the drug for kids.

Chick flicks for guys, Part 1
Valentine's Day is coming up in a few weeks, so I'd like to start making a few suggestions for DVDs for guys to rent and watch with their lady friends. Now, there's a stereotype of the sort of movie that women like -- and that most men will find emetic. I'm not about to suggest watching Fried Green Tomatoes with your significant other; instead, these will be movies that, despite having plots that would fit in on the Lifetime channel, can be enjoyed even by a man's man. (And, all of them will be available on DVD so that you actually can get a hold of a copy to watch with her.)
First up is Leave Her to Heaven. This is an interesting movie in that, although it's a film noir, it's also a Technicolor film noir. And the Technicolor is absolutely gorgeous and used to excellent effect. We first see this in the framing story, as star Cornel Wilde is returning to his home, the stunning "Back of the Moon". (For the record, this was actually filmed at Bass Lake, near Yosemite National Park. Wilde's introduction then dissolves to the story of how he met Gene Tierney, who was reading one of his novels while they were both on the same train to New Mexico. The scenery is beautiful, but even more so is Tierney. Wilde and Tierney meet, fall in love, and eventually marry, much to the chagrin of Tierney's half-sister (Jeanne Crain). She knows something bad is about to happen! Also in the know is Tierney's spurned lover, a prosecuting attorney played by Vincent Price.
Unfortunately for Wilde, however, he discovers that his new wife is insanely jealous. The new couple travel to Warm Springs in Georgia to pick up Wilde's brother (played by ubiquitous child star Darryl Hickman), and bring him to Back of the Moon. It's here that we really see Tierney's jealousy kick in, as we get to see her be responsible for poor Darryl Hickman's death, the death of her unborn child, and her own death, which she, having discovered that Wilde loves Crain more than her, tries to pin on the two of them. It is here that Vincent Price shines, as he gets to engage in a withering cross-examination of Wilde.
Of course, this being a noir, we know the truth, and what's going to happen to Wilde, but the way in which the truth is revealed to the characters in the movie is still surprising.
Gene Tierney was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, but had the misfortune of being up against Joan Crawford, who did an equally good job as Mildred Pierce, and being backed by Warner Brothers, beat out Tierney for the Oscar. (My personal opinion is that Crawford was not undeserving, but I prefer Tierney's performance.)
What's in it for the ladies? Although it's a noir, it's not the hard-boiled noir of Robert Mitchum, but rather closer to what would have been known as the "weepies" in the 1930s.
And for the guys? Why, Gene Tierney, of course. She's hot, hot, HOT! The fact that it's a great story doesn't hurt, either.

US furniture company wins compensation from MSC over container pricing
By admin On January 22, 2023 January 22, 2023 In Insurance Marine News, Keep, Legal
US judge Erin Wirth has ruled that Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) must pay Pennsylvania-based furniture maker MCS Industries $944,655 as part of a long-running case over the shipping company's alleged failure to meet contractual obligations after the cost of leasing a container soared from late spring 2020 onwards.
The judge issued the default decision against MSC, stating that it had failed to supply the correct documents in time to fight the legal action, which was first launched 18 months ago.
"Mediterranean Shipping has been warned multiple times that if it failed to produce the discovery, a default decision would be issued against it," Judge Erin Wirth said.
MCS Industries had also filed a suit against Chinese carrier Cosco, but the latter settled with the furniture company during Q3 2021.
There have been a number of complaints from US importers against shipping companies alleging breach of advance-agreed contracts, and/or the imposition of conditions for future deals if the importer wanted past agreements to be fulfilled. The Federal Maritime Commission is investigating these complaints.
Ukrainian grain terminal owners' assets frozen
Two American investment funds have acted to try to take control of Odesa-based grain terminal operator GN Terminals (GNT), one of Ukraine's largest grain export terminals. The move was a result of an allegedly unpaid debt of more than $100m. In 2019, US emerging markets fund Argentem loaned $75m to GNT, but according to Argentem the loan started to go wrong way before Russia's invasion in February 2022. In 2021 Argentem said that four times it had agreed to GNT's requests to waive payment instalments. The loan had now been in default for 12 months, Argentem claimed. It said that the outstanding balance was now about $100m.
Another GNT creditor Innovatus, which says that it is owed $20m, is working with Argentem through a suit brought in the English High Courts against GNT's top management. The companies allege that GNT officials were committing fraud, taking money out of GNT and transferring it to a foreign holding company.
John Patton, Portfolio Manager for EMEA & Asia at Argentem, said that "ACP and Innovatus have joined forces because of material failings of transparency and governance, and suspected large-scale asset dissipation and corporate wrongdoing. Since enforcement actions have begun, we have identified the transfer of members of the GNT Group which own silos to an entity in Switzerland which we understand is controlled by GNT Group's Chief Financial Officer Dusan Denic".
The court was reported to have granted a worldwide freezing order against Sergiy Groza and Volodymyr Naumenko, the owners of GNT Group, and Olimpex Coupe International, which is a GNT terminal operating company in Ukraine. The creditors are moving to take control of GNT, and, if successful in their attempt, said that they planned to keep it in operation to ensure the flow of agricultural products to foreign markets.
"Once GNT Group relinquishes control of the port to responsible operators, these issues will be resolved with minimal disruption to the grain corridor. We are determined to continue our broader commitment to invest in Ukraine," said Patton.
GNT's current management has denied the allegations. They say that the company "is prepared to meet its obligations to creditors." The company has said that that the court actions were "unnecessary to solving the issue". They have said that the move by the creditors was "indicative of an attempted hostile takeover."
GNT says that it has handled nearly 10% of the export volume shipped out of Ukraine under the Black Sea corridor initiative, which began last August. The company has said that any enforced change in ownership could disrupt the operation of the corridor.

Is He Not Speaking, Or Am I Not Listening?
It is hard to admit this, but a few weeks ago I got upset with God. You see, I was praying and, for the first time, I realized that my conversation felt very one sided. I didn't hear a voice talking me through all the problems I had just let off my chest nor did I suddenly know what to do and how to do it. I got mad because I thought God was not listening to what I had to say. Why should I speak to Him when I don't have a way to listen to what He has to tell me?
I went on with my life and I continued to pray the next night and the next night like I do normally do. But the question of, "why do I pray if I do not receive any feedback" was stuck in the back of my mind. I was brought up to know that God is a friend of yours, and you can talk to him about anything and everything. I don't know why I never had this thought previously when put in the same situation of not hearing what He has to say. But ever since I first thought about it, I couldn't get it out of my mind.
It wasn't until I was scrolling through Instagram later that week. The post gave me advice for a problem I was currently having and the problem was something that I had previously prayed about. I never asked for this post, in fact, the post popped up by itself. I just dismissed the situation as a coincidence. So, I took the advice and moved on. Later that week, I logged into twitter only to see a statement on how you will always need God in your life no matter what you are doing or what you are up against. And in that moment I had gotten the answers to all my prayers.
God cannot communicate the same way we all do. Just as we learn what a dog wants by their bark instead of forcing them to learn English, We have to learn what God wants by His own communication. This could be scrolling through social media until something happens to pop up, or you could be in church and the message that day is something you needed to hear for the situation you are currently going through. God's language is not our own, but He still can understand us. We just have to work on interpreting Him.
It took me a while but, I finally realized I was the problem. I wasn't listening to what God was telling me. Instead, I wanted Him to come out and say everything I needed even though that is not how He communicates. I wanted to hear a voice, but instead I got signs. It was up to me to adapt to His language instead of the other way around. The next time you feel like God is not with you or not answering your prayers, take a step back and see if you are the one who is not listening instead of Him not speaking.


Family vacations (or family holidays for our international audiences) are really what I look forward to every year. I work for my time off.
Over the course of the past five years or so, I've taken nearly 15,000 photos while on vacation. Taking that many photos has taught me a few lessons that I'd like to pass along, so below are my top 5 family vacation photography tips to help you not only take better photos on your trip, but also to enjoy family travel more, too!
Posed photos are great, don't get me wrong. But frame after frame of posed photos while on a vacation? That's just too much.
I'm a huge fan of candid photos in general, but especially when traveling as a family.
Capturing moments as they happen naturally is really what family vacation photography is all about, right?
Sure, get the group together for those obligatory photos when you have to, but spend most of your time trying to capture the emotion you and your family feel while on your trip. Your photos will be a lot more meaningful if you do!
I know editing photos can be a pain. Quite frankly, I don't enjoy photo editing either.
But, some photos are meant to be edited and posting them directly to Facebook is really just a travesty.
Make it a point to reserve an afternoon after your trip is over, sit down with your favorite photo editor (mine two favorites are Luminar Neptune and Aurora HDR - af) and crank out a few edits.
You don't have to edit every photo you took. My rule of thumb is that I edit about 10 to 25% of the photos I take while on vacation.
Once you're done, hop on to Facebook and post those bad boys into a family vacation photo album and show off all the fun you had!
Tip #3 - Leave the DSLR at Home and "Go Mobile"
This tip is going to be a bit counter-intuitive at first, and I admit I'm a bit twitchy typing this right now.
Leave your DSLR at home.
You heard me right. Don't bring your "good" camera. Why? You'll spend too much time focusing on getting the perfect photo and less time enjoying your trip, for one!
What if you only brought your smart phone and took all of your vacation photos on that?
What if you were "shooting from the hip", barely standing still long enough to snap the photo?
Would your trip be ruined? No! Will you still get some great photos? Yes!
Smart phone cameras are still pretty awesome these days, so leave the DSLR at home and "go mobile" on your next family vacation!
You just got back from your awesome, week-long family vacation. You have hundreds (thousands?) of family photos.
Well, sorta. There's one problem - the photographer isn't in any of them!
It's a great idea to share photography tasks during your trip. Don't have the same person behind the lens every time!
For one, they'll never be in any of the photos, but also, having a different photographer is bound to mean that different types of shots will be taken. Two (or more) perspectives are better than one!
Now, I'm not suggesting that you should skip every "designated photo spot", but think about it for a second. Every other family you see there will be taking the exact same photos in the exact same locations.
Why not make it a challenge to find other great photo spots that aren't "designated" and make them your own? See what kind of unique perspectives and angles you can find during your trip. That certainly will make for photos that are unique to your experience - and that's what it's all about, isn't it?
What do you think? Do you have any tips for taking better family vacation photos you'd like to share? Leave a comment below!

Maximum Security Disqualified, Country Horse wins Kentucky Derby
Kentucky- From start, to finish the Kentucky Derby was anybody's race, but at the end of the race, there was a controversial call that changed Kentucky Derby history.
Maximum Security was disqualified after a slight bump coming into a turn to another horse and was Country Horse who finished second before the call was crowned Kentucky Derby champion. Maximum Security becomes the first horse to get disqualified after crossing the finish line first.
With a 65-1 chance of being victorious, Country Horse pulled off the upset by default. A lot of fans felt like Maximum Security was robbed, but the officials had to make the call and they were right on it. It was the first Derby win for both Prat and trainer Bill Mott.

I'm ready for Spring so I hope the groundhog sees what he needs to see this year!!! It's been so gray and dreary for days but at least it is warming up a little. I know some of you are dealing with snow and ice and reallllly cold weather so I shouldn't complain but I need the sun!!
I made a new one of these little guys because the one I've been dragging around for years to teacher trainings was a little sad. This way you can see the steps, too.
I used a glue gun for speed but you will need glue or double stick tape for the kiddos. I used a green paper cup because we are in the South and we have General Beau Lee who pops up from a hole in a grassy area. I know Punxsutawney Phil sometimes has to deal with Snow so you could make this with a white cup and spoon and use cotton ball snow instead of recycled Easter grass. Glue your grass or snow around the opening of the cup.
Then cut a circle of brown fun foam for Mr. Groundhog's head. Glue it on the spoon. I had peel and stick foam hanging around so I just stuck it on the spoon. I added some ears cut from some leftover brown glitter fun foam leaves. Whatever you have - construction paper, pom poms... anything. Get creative. I throw a bunch of brown "stuff " on a table and we make some groundhogs with a lot of personality.
At our house we call him "the Brownhog!!" When College Girl was in preschool she came home from 3 day 3's talking about the "brownhog" seeing his shadow. I said that I thought it was "groundhog" and she said emphatically, "No!" She held out a coloring sheet of a groundhog that her teacher had given them that day. She said, " My teacher said color it brown. It's a brownhog!!" and the name stuck around here for years!
I gave him huge wiggle eyes because I want to be sure he sees the signs for Spring. I drew on a nose and mouth. Slide the spoon down in the slit so it comes through the bottom of the cup.
...and now he's peeking out!!
You can also dim the lights and use a flashlight to do some fun shadow play with your groundhog puppets!! You can entertain children for a long time if there is a flashlight involved!!
Wishing everyone an early Spring and a Happy Brownhog Day!!
I've been enjoying my visit to you blog by the way, so many neat ideas!


After leaving university I spent a year living in a flat on Chesterton Rd. It wasn't great, so when Steve said he was buying a house and funding it by letting rooms to his friends, and was I interested, I jumped at the chance.
this should be cast in stone; indeed I think we could do better.
> X-Note: These domains have expired on the naming committee.
Meanwhile my friend Ian was in need of a hostname. Chiark had been around a while by then and had the rather unusual distinction within the University of Cambridge of being a student-run machine with a mail domain, specifically chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk. But when he moved out of college at the end of the September 1996 he was going to lose that name, so I agreed to let him use the name chiark.greenend.org.uk instead. (I've still got the emails but I'm not going to publish them without permission.) Although the details of its connectivity and geography have changed a number of times since then it has always maintained the same name.
At the time of the above my employer didn't sell full internet connectivity, though we did provide it to employees - hence the reference to the /24 above. It was a while before this part of the plan came off though - until the following year we had a single public address and used an RFC1918 network internally. However, ElectricMail were busy turning ourselves into a proper ISP (albeit never a particularly large one), and Greenend became an early user.
mean a number of changes.
has packet forwarding turned on.
local network.  Be sure to get this right.
If you look in the right place you can still see fossils of this.
In June 1998 we gained a web presence, www.greenend.org.uk. It was hosted on chiark, which would be a return of the favour of a stable name if chiark hadn't long since been far more useful to all of us than the mere cost of a domain name registration.
In October 1998 I moved out of Green End Road, to share a house with Ian, Mobbsy and not long after LNR. I maintained ownership of the domain, however, though in early 2001 I left ElectricMail, or NetConnect as it was by then, following a takeover; I see they've renamed themselves since then. The last ever Greenend party was in March 2003, not so long before Steve sold the place in order to spend more time with his pubs.
These days the Sinister Greenend Organization mainly means the ill-defined social network that extended well beyond a particular household and has now survived its demise.
Now, those who've had contact with the UK Internet may recognize from the dates above that greenend.org.uk was founded before Nominet was created to take over management of .uk domains. And that's why I'm writing this now: Nominet have finally got round to normalizing the status of the domains they inherited from naming committee, and the signed declaration saying greenend.org.uk is mine is in an envelope ready to be posted tomorrow morning.

Om Guds stad (Latin: Dē cīvitāte Deī contrā pāgānōs) er et skrift, der blev forfattet i årene 413-426 af kirkefaderen Augustin, kaldet Agustin af Hippo. Han udviklede idéen om en "Guds stad" (Civitas dei) i 22 bøger, hvor han satte den op i evig modsætning til den "Jordiske stad" (Civitas terrena).

Baggrund
I året 410 havde visigoterne erobret Rom og plyndret byen. Denne begivenhed skabte tvivl om den ligestilling af det kristianiserede romerrige med det forkyndte gudsrige, som mange kristne gik ind for, og den gav styrke til de hedenske opfattelser, som Quintus Aurelius Symmachus havde fremsat 30 år tidligere.

Indhold
Den jordiske stad (civitas terrena) er i den augustinske beskrivelse dels fremstillet som den ordensmagt, Gud ønsker, og dels som det ondes rige, der er behersket af gudsfjendtlige kræfter. Guds stad kommer derimod til syne hos den enkelte, der overholder de levende kristnes religiøse påbud. Ud fra denne dialektiske grundtanke skaber Augustin en omfattende verdens- og frelseshistorie, og den synsvinkel blev ved med at være særdeles betydningsfuld op gennem hele middelalderen frem til refomationen.

Augustin beskæftiger sig også med den antikke filosofi. Han skriver blandt andet om kontrasten mellem stoicismen, epikuræismen og Platons sjælevandringslære. I den forbindelse siger han, at filosofferne – trods deres kamp om sandheden – ikke fandt vejen til lykke. Derfor anser mange ham for på sin vis at være en forløber for eksistentialismen.

Augustins tænkning er desuden ikke længere afhængig af antikkens forestillinger, når han lægger vægt på, at kirken og kristentroen bør være uafhængig af det Romerske riges beståen. Augustin betragtes derfor som en af de første tænkere i senantikken, der banede vejen for kristendommen ind i middelalderens nye tider.

Brew up the perfect coffee with this coffee starter kit. The kit includes a 200g bag of medium roasted coffee, a Hario V60 coffee dripper (size 01) and a box of 40 filter papers. It's the perfect coffee starter kit for the budding enthusiast!
Pebble and Pine coffee is always freshly roasted prior to dispatch. When you place your order we'll fire up the roaster and prepare your coffee for you. It's then packaged up and shipped directly to your door so you know that the coffee is fresh and roasted to perfection.
A 200g bag of medium roasted coffee, ground for a drip coffee maker.
A Hario V60 dripper, size 01 (perfect for 1 cup).
A pack of 40 filter papers.
What is the V60 dripper?
It's possibly the best way of brewing coffee of course! The fine filter paper results in a very clean and bright cup of coffee with no bits or sediment, unlike a cafetiere that has a coarse filter. Of course, you can find out how to use the Hario V60 by following our coffee dripper brewing guide or use the instructions below.
Put the V60 on top of your favourite cup.
Put a filter paper in the V60. Fold the seam on the paper down so it fits.
Measure one full scoop of the ground coffee into the filter paper and tap the V60 until the top of the coffee grounds are level.
Pour a small amount of the hot water over the grounds starting at the centre and gradually moving out in a spiral motion.
Leave it for about 30 seconds. The coffee should bubble up when the water is added.
Working from the outside in, again using a circular motion, pour the hot water over the coffee grounds and let it filter through and drip into your cup.
Keep pouring slowly, making sure the water level in the filter doesn't get too high, until your coffee cup is full.
Enjoy your freshly roasted and filtered coffee.
If you're buying additional filter papers for this coffee starter kit then remember - the filter size is 01.
If you're not sure about anything you can ask us a question about it by contacting us at our email address or via the contact form (link at the bottom of the page). We'd be very happy to help you out.


On Sunday, Hong submitted written replies to questions asked by an opposition lawmaker about his tax policies to the National Assembly and best bitcoin casino program . They had been the publication noted.
Hong justified the government's decision to exclude crypto exchanges from the class of startup businesses, thereby eliminating the tax advantages they enjoy. He believes that"the exclusion reflected the criticism that crypto exchanges were exposed to illegal acts and were merely a broker service separate from blockchain technology," The Korea Times conveyed.

Q: 'Jenkins' missing node label 'master' after v. 2.307+ upgrade After upgrading to 2.307 and applying terminology changes (from 'master' to 'Built-In Node'), my builds stopped working with the following error message:
'Jenkins' doesn't have label 'master'
My Jenkinsfile looks like this:

node('master') {
    dir('build') {
        stage('Checkout') {
            ...
        }
    }
}

A: It helps to read the Changelog when upgrading.
You can also just look up the node in Jenkins.

*

*Replace the term "master" with "controller" (for the main Jenkins application) or "built-in node", as appropriate. (pull
5425)

*Add migration code to only change the node name (e.g. NODE_NAME environment variable) and label of the built-in node after explicit
migration by an administrator. New installations get the new node and
and label immediately. (pull 5425)

*Add the system property jenkins.model.Jenkins.nodeNameAndSelfLabelOverride to specify a
different node name and label for the built-in node (e.g. for
Configuration as Code use cases) than the one otherwise determined.
This will not affect other uses of the node name, such as the URL to
the built-in node (now /computer/(built-in)/). (pull 5425)

Clarification:
If your Job definition, Pipeline definition, or Tool installer reference must be tied to the built-in node, it should use the label "built-in" instead of "master". Using the built-in (formerly master) node is strongly discouraged.
The new Nodes url (as shown below) is: ${JENKINS_URL}/computer/(built-in)/ instead of ${JENKINS_URL}/computer/(master)/

Alternative:
It is possible to continue the existing configuration by adding "master" as a label to the "built-in" node.

A: In case you have only one node or don't care at which node is your build run, you can just remove the specific node name:
node {
    dir('build') {
        stage('Checkout') {
            ...
        }
    }

17. Who is Market Street Technologies? 12. How do I purchase and implement VISTA 2020?
After you've viewed the VISTA 2020 demo, Market Street Technologies' Sales Department will talk to you about your training needs and the number of subscribers who will be using VISTA 2020. An agreement that addresses your needs will be drawn up and signed by both parties. Once the contract is in place, we'll work closely with your staff to develop a project-specific template – a sample project that contains data and settings common to all of your projects to use as a starting point. This template is called your VISTA Dashboard™. Once your VISTA Dashboard is complete, all new subscribers will attend one four-hour training session. Then, they will be given their login user name and password; and they will be off and running as proficient users. One or two users, those designated as account administrators, will receive additional advanced training on how to configure the product and modify security settings.
