On Nov. 4 the North Sanpete Hawks Drill Team sent three members to try out for the 3A All-State Drill Team, and all three made the final cut.
Jordan Hilton, daughter of Barrett and Kati Hilton from Moroni; Karissa Vogt, daughter of Matt and Tenna Vogt from Farivew; and Cambree Pehrson, daughter of Ben and Emilee Pehrson of Fairview all represented North Sanpete.
The three seniors have been a part of North Sanpete Drill Team all four years of high school, which is under the direction of Kiersten Wheeler and Brittany Dyches.
"All-State was a really fun and nerve-wracking experience for me," said Hilton, head drill mistress. "I am so proud of all three of us for working so hard to earn a spot, especially because they only keep a selected few."
Cambree enjoyed the experience because she was able to meet and dance with other dancers in the 3A division from all over the state.
"There is so much talent all over the state, and it was such an amazing experience," Cambree said.
Karissa said that hard work and dedication contributed to them being chosen by their coaches and being able to compete and make the team.
"It was so much fun going with my two best friends," said Karissa. "Then hearing all three of our numbers called as being chosen to be a part of the team was the best feeling."
All three girls said that they are lucky to have such great support from their families, teammates, coaches, and the school, which pushed them along and made them work as hard as they could.

FIFA World Cup 2022: Fan pulled out a tremendous trick to drink beer in the stadium, busted in front of security forces
People News Chronicle Follow on Twitter Send an email November 25, 2022
Fans are not getting a chance to drink beer in FIFA World Cup 2022. The fans are very upset to drink beer and are constantly trying one or the other trick to get the beer into the stadium. Another such case was seen during the case of Poland and Mexico.
Meanwhile, a fan has been caught in an audacious attempt to smuggle beer. The security guard fiercely checked the football fans during the checking while entering the stadium, in which they got very surprising information. During the match, the security guards found a fan of the Mexico team, who was going to the stadium with binoculars. Investigation revealed that he had hidden beer in the binoculars.
This was known when the Security Force opened one of its lenses during the telescope's investigation and beer started falling down from it. Significantly, the rules regarding alcohol in Qatar are very strict. In view of these rules, fans are adopting many tricks to drink beer. Significantly, FIFA has made it clear that fans will not be able to bring any kind of intoxicants into the stadium during and after the match.
FIFA president has given statement on alcohol
FIFA President Gianni Infantino on the decision to ban the sale of 'alcoholic' beer in Qatar's World Cup stadium said it would be just a minor inconvenience for the spectators. Infantino said that the decision to ban beer in the stadium was made jointly by the Qatari authorities and FIFA. He said that we tried till the end whether it is possible. Infantino said that if you could not drink beer for three hours a day, you would still be alive. This is probably why alcohol is banned in stadiums in France, in Spain and in Scotland. Maybe they are wiser than us.

Edgar Allan Poe's suburban dream
By Scott Peeples October 27, 2021
The Man of the Crowd
Available in 3 editions
If there were ever an American writer you would not associate with the suburbs, it's Edgar Allan Poe. His popular image tends to be that of an isolated figure, oblivious to his surroundings. When that image is countered, it's likely replaced by a more accurate one of Poe as a creature of the mid-nineteenth-century American city, specifically Richmond, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. In fact, that image is the essence of my recent book, The Man of the Crowd: Edgar Allan Poe and the City. But throughout the book, I also point to recurring instances when Poe sought to live outside the city proper, and yet still within reach.
But did suburbs really exist in Poe's time, specifically 1809-1849? Clearly not on the scale that they would in the auto-centric mid-twentieth century, or even the late nineteenth-century world of extensive commuter rail lines. But as Maura D'Amore explains in her book Suburban Plots, Americans began embracing a suburban ideal well before the civil war, and Poe's more successful contemporaries in the literary world were at the vanguard. D'Amore's prototypical suburban man is Washington Irving, whose idyllic retreat, Sunnyside, became a tourist destination even as it served as a private home. Popular writers and public figures such as Irving, Ik Marvell, Henry Ward Beecher, and Nathaniel Parker Willis constructed a suburban ideal that appealed to American men generally—"country life within city reach," as Poe's friend and one-time employer Willis promoted it.[1] In her study Building Suburbia, Dolores Hayden refers to early suburbs as "borderlands," pointing out that "the periphery of the city in this era was not the country. The edge was neither rural nor urban."[2] Sometimes the "edge" encompassed farms, sometimes factories, sometimes planned developments, and often all three.
The problem for Poe was that he never had sufficient wealth to accomplish the suburban ideal of Irving's Sunnyside or Willis's Idlewild. He never owned his own home or even a carriage to ease the commute to the city center, where the business of publishing took place. His first move from to the outskirts of a city came in 1833, when a 24-year-old Poe joined the household of his aunt Maria Clemm in Baltimore. In this instance the motivation was almost certainly to reduce the household's rent. Poe, along with his aunt, his grandmother, his eleven-year-old cousin Virginia, and possibly his fifteen-year-old cousin Henry, moved from the bustling Fells Point area to a recently built duplex about a mile and a half west of central Baltimore. Although they occupied two floors and an attic, the space was very small, about 600 square feet. Gas streetlights did not extend that far from the city center, and water would have to be carried from a nearby canal or well. The first-floor fireplace was surely inadequate for providing heat to upstairs rooms. This was not upward mobility, and it was more like an urban frontier than a suburb.
Yet Poe would follow this pattern of settling initially in the more densely populated, older section the city before seeking less expensive lodging on the outskirts in both Philadelphia and New York. When he, Virginia (now his wife), and Maria moved to Philadelphia in 1838, they settled at a boarding house on Mulberry Street (today's Arch Street), in an increasingly commercial and industrial area a few blocks from the Delaware River. But within a few months, the family relocated to a less densely populated area near Sixteenth and Locust Streets, in the western half of the city. Philadelphia was expanding in that direction (as well as to the north and the south). Lawyer Philip Physick's Greek Revival mansion was constructed on Rittenhouse Square while Poe was living nearby, signaling more fashionable future settlement. So the gentrification of their neighborhood might have precipitated the Poe-Clemm family's next move, in September 1842, to the Fairmount District, northwest of what was then the city proper, near the Schuylkill River waterworks and the recently constructed Eastern State Penitentiary. At the same time, Virginia had just begun exhibiting symptoms of tuberculosis, creating a grim new reality for the family and another reason to live farther away from the more polluted streets and air of the city. The following year, they would move to North Seventh just above Spring Garden Street, closer to old Philadelphia but still about a twenty-minute walk to the center of business and, specifically, magazine and newspaper publishing. An acquaintance who later wrote a romanticized biography of Poe was probably correct in referring to the Spring Garden district of the 1840s as "a quiet suburb far from the dust and noise of the city."[3]
Poe's years in Philadelphia were among the most productive of his career: he wrote the majority of the tales for which he is known today, and for about a year he edited Graham's, one of the most popular magazines in the country. But his failure to establish a magazine of his own, along with Virginia's poor health, sent him into a destructive spiral of depression and heavy drinking, which damaged his reputation among other writers and editors. In early 1844 he set out to make a fresh start in New York, already the national cultural and publishing center.
Poe's first two years in New York could be characterized as moving back and forth, in and out of what then constituted the city. After a few weeks at a boarding house, the family moved about five miles north to a farm owned by the Brennan family, near what is now the intersection of 84th Street and Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side. It's not known what, if anything, Poe contributed to the Brennan family coffers, but it probably wasn't much, given his lack of steady income. In reminiscences published many years later, members of the Brennan family fondly described Poe as sober and content, appreciative of the bucolic natural setting. Moreover, during the eight months or so that he lived with the Brennans, Poe produced a steady flow of fiction and journalism while making regular trips, presumably on foot, to the offices of the New York Mirror, where he cranked out editorial filler. Most notably, he completed, or perhaps just revised, a poem he had written in Philadelphia, about a grieving scholar visited by a black bird in the middle of the night.
Around the time of the publication of "The Raven" in early 1845, Poe and family moved back downtown. After all, he had come to New York to advance his career, specifically to revive the prospects for his own magazine, so it made sense to be close to the publishing hub of Nassau and Fulton Streets. "The Raven" was a hit from the moment of its publication, but Poe's moment in the sun was brief: while living in lower Manhattan (and moving frequently), his drinking and pugnacious professional behavior once again undid him. By the spring of 1846 he sought retreat—first boarding with another sympathetic family near Turtle Bay, on the East River in what is now Midtown, and then much farther north in Fordham, across the Bronx River, in early 1846.
In several ways this was a great move for Poe, Virginia, and Maria. The rent was only $100 a year. Fordham was 14 miles from the city, but it was on the Harlem Railroad line, with departures every four hours. So the area not-yet-named the Bronx really did offer that desired suburban combination of remoteness and proximity. Maria called their acre of land as a "sweet sequestered spot" (1117), and Poe referred to his "snug little cottage" in a July 1846 letter. The problem, of course, was money. Poe could earn more than a month's rent by selling a manuscript, but he wasn't selling many manuscripts in 1846, and his financial woes would continue until his death in 1849.
After Virginia died in January 1847, Poe and Maria continued to live in Fordham. Although he was devastated by his wife's death, he recovered his emotional stability while at the Fordham cottage. But he tended to lose that stability when he traveled, which he did increasingly over the last eighteen months of his life, pursuing another wife and the elusive magazine-of-his-own. Tragically but fittingly, he was in transit when he died, at the first stop of an itinerary that began in Richmond and was to take him through Baltimore and Philadelphia on the way back to New York.
There are many patterns and repetitions in Poe's life, but this tendency to seek habitations on the outskirts of the cities where he worked is among the most striking. Poe's career as a journalist, editor, and writer of magazine fiction depended on the modern city, and he wrote evocatively about urban life in stories such as "The Man of the Crowd," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Roget," and "The Purloined Letter." But he clearly did not love city life, and he aspired to a suburban ideal that would have allowed him easy access to publishing centers along with the fresh air and relative seclusion of the country. As with so many aspects of Poe's life, he almost made it.

Most weeks, I look at my television and am like, "Why would anyone ever want to watch that?" But about once every three months, I get into a phase where all I want to do is watch TV. During these periods, I can't imagine reading. I mean, I look at the book in my hands, and I'm just not interested.
That phase came and went during August (I mostly watched BoJack Horseman and old episodes of How I Met Your Mother) while I was supposed to be reading Boleslaw Prus' The Doll.
It wasn't any problem with the book. If it had been, I would've just abandoned it. Unlike most people I meet, I have zero trouble abandoning a novel halfway or even 3/4ths of the way through. I think the latest I've ever abandoned a novel was The Three Musketeers. I was much closer to the end than to the beginning of that rather weighty book, but I realized that there was just nothing there.
This book did not have that problem. It is true, though, that it is a bit uneven. The book has three main protagonists who have vastly different amounts of pagetime. There's Wokulski, the businessman / romantic hero. There's his love, the aristocratic and slightly shallow Isabela. And there's his longtime clerk, Rzecky. The first two are in third person, while Rzecky's sections are told in first person (his chapters are always called The Journal of an Old Clerk). And his stuff is so tedious.
He just has no story. He's an old guy with a poodle who lives above the store that he manages. There is nothing else to him. I mean, he's wistful for the days of Napoleon. He wishes that Wokulski would stop being so lovesick. But because he seems to have zero ambitions for himself, his chapters end up feeling rather inert.
Still, I'm glad that I read this book, and I will have more thoughts on it once I am finished (right now I'm racing to finish it before heading off to Burning Man, because I'm fairly sure that I'm not gonna do any reading once I'm there).


The new Range Rover Evoque will make its global debut at this week's 2010 Paris Motor Show. It is the smallest, lightest, and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever.
The Range Rover Evoque brings the acclaimed Land Rover's LRX concept car into production reality, faithfully capturing the original design of this landmark cross-coupe concept. It features a bold exterior that has evolved from Range Rover's design language.
The Evoque delivers premium levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and renowned Land Rover all-terrain capability into a shrink-wrapped compact package. It will be offered in both four-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive versions. And class-leading sustainability - sub 130g/kmCO2 with 58mpg combined fuel economy - is promised.
The premium cabin promises full-sized glass panoramic roof that floods the interior with natural light.
"These are exciting times for our business," said CEO Dr Ralf Speth. "Not only will the Range Rover Evoque increase our worldwide market share, it helps to define a new segment for premium compact SUVs that are more sporting and stylish."
The new Range Rover Evoque will go on sale here next summer.


Tim Richter, Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness President & CEO, appeared before the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women today. The committee is looking into the system of shelters and transition houses serving women and children affected by violence against women and intimate partner violence for a study.
Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for this opportunity. I'm pleased to be speaking to you from traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. I'm here in my capacity as President & CEO of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness with expertise in preventing and ending homelessness. I can't and won't claim to be an expert in domestic violence. I'm also here aware of the fact that I'm a middle-aged, middle-class white man whose privileged personal perspective is not the most important in your study.
I strongly encourage the committee to get out into the community, visit shelters and speak directly to women and children with lived experience of domestic violence. They are your most important experts.
To prepare for this meeting, I reached out to the women on the Women's Homelessness Advisory Committee of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness. This committee consists of 35 women from across Canada who work in domestic violence, mainstream homeless services, family shelters, transitional housing as well as women who work helping other women who want to exit sexual exploitation and many leading academics. Our committee importantly includes women who have experienced homelessness, Indigenous women and women from racialized communities.
If there's any wisdom to be gleaned from my presentation, they deserve the credit. I think this committee should meet with these brilliant women and hear directly from them. I would be happy to help arrange that meeting.
I want to share a few quotes from emails I received from colleagues on our advisory committee to paint a picture of the challenge.
"In general, at our local domestic violence shelter where I work we are seeing women whose extensive histories of trauma manifest in mental health and addictions concerns which are beyond the capacity of the resources in our system. We have extremely long wait times for mental health and addictions services and this situation ultimately contributes to homelessness.
"We have no women-only shelters for women over 30 aside from the domestic violence shelter, so there is no continuum of services for women who are homeless but do not fit the domestic violence mandate. We have 4 female beds at one of our local shelters, serving the Avalon Region of 250,000 people. We also do a very poor job of serving individuals whose gender identity falls outside of the binary".
Without question there's a need for domestic violence shelter beds in Canada, but I think we'll find ourselves with an infinite demand for new beds unless we start talking about prevention and long-term solutions.
Long-term solutions will be found by involving women with lived experience of domestic violence at every stage of the policy process. In the homelessness world, we've applied rights-based approaches like Housing First with significant success. Housing First empowers people experiencing homelessness with agency, voice, and choice and by doing that we achieve far better long-term outcomes than ever before. By listening carefully to them, and reflecting their input and needs in our systems and programs we design more effective systems and programs.
Providing safe, decent and affordable permanent housing is a critical step in achieving better outcomes for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Positive outcomes are a result of wraparound support that helps women build self-reliance and heal from their trauma. We're seeing interventions borrowed from the homeless system, like Housing First, achieve significant success for women and children fleeing violence when the model is adapted to their unique and specific needs. A great example of this approach is the Community Housing Program at Discovery House in Calgary.
For Indigenous People's providing access to Indigenous-focused, women-centered, trauma-informed community supports and care solutions, coordinated between violence prevention and housing programs, creates an inclusive, holistic approach to addressing homelessness and domestic violence which allows Indigenous women access to needed services and the ability to maintain their housing situation.
We have to address the multiple and compounding structural barriers that harm and systematically disadvantage women. For example, homelessness and domestic violence systems in Canada operate completely separately leaving women often without any support from either. Homeless women often can't access the domestic violence system (despite violent victimization being pervasive for homeless women) and will have few options in homeless systems which are designed for and serve mostly men. Women in the domestic violence system can't access the resources of the homelessness system because those systems restrict homelessness only to the mainstream homeless programs (like homelessness emergency shelters). These barriers are compounded by involvement in child welfare systems, racism, complex mental health and addiction concerns or having a gender identity falling outside the binary.
Domestic violence like homelessness is a public policy Gordian knot. Long-term solutions require provincial and federal support, but coordinated local systems are also needed. We're learning in the homelessness world that taking a rights-based approach and focusing on a permanent solution – on ending, not managing homelessness – at a local level can achieve significant results. The Alliance is now working with over 40 communities in 8 provinces to use real-time, person specific data to build coordinated local systems, and to use human centred design and iterative problem solving to prevent and reduce chronic homelessness. Using this approach, we can identify gaps, target resources more efficiently, coordinate our responses more effectively, identify public system breakdowns and target prevention efforts.
This approach is reflected in the new federal homelessness strategy Reaching Home. Women and children fleeing violence are homeless. The federal government should explore how Reaching Home can support these families and how homeless systems and domestic violence systems can be better integrated.
As in homelessness, federal leadership on domestic violence is essential and there are many potential policy and funding levers at the federal government's disposal to prevent and reduce domestic violence. I urge this committee to explore those levers. For example, the National Housing Strategy requires 25% of all investments to go to housing for women. How will that housing be invested to prevent and reduce domestic violence and homelessness?
Finally, please remember that the women and children accessing domestic violence shelters are not a homogenous population – these are individual women with individual needs and leaders of families. We won't solve this problem if we homogenize them and only see them in the context of the system they are in.
Thank you all very much for the invitation to speak with you today.

Thank you so much for coming to us in search for "What Is The Affluence Network International Cryptocurrency Mining" online. This mining action validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it's not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they get involved in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that the transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the number of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets usually are not exposed to price exploitation, yet there exists no need for large amounts of money to move market prices up or down. The slightest occasions in the world economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
Since one of the oldest forms of earning money is in money lending, it's a fact you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you might be needed fill in a captcha after a certain time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a reasonable investment strategy.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it truly is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can easily be achieved by simply being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making enormous ammonts of cash with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and miss out on quite successful business models made accessible due to the growing use of blockchain technology.
It should be difficult to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having small increases is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to take a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Secondly, there's more unpredictability and compensation in monies that never have made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz.

The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the dynamics of the method in which it is transacted. All deals on a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This isn't anything shortterm wherever your customers can dispute or demand a concessions, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, most professionals will be wise to utilize a payment processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto currency transactions, you should make certain that security is tricky. With any type of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your individual tips and so take your money. However, you probably will never get it back. It's quite crucial for you really to adopt some great safe and sound routines when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing so may protect you from many of these adverse functions.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much higher potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of shares won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a secure stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward.
If you are looking for what is The Affluence Network international cryptocurrency mining, look no further than AN.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the procedure operates in and of itself, but it is basically vital that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Governments and banks can just select to print unlimited amounts (I am not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to operate or to stop operation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network has become the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally links in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the right spot at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it repaired. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Many individuals would rather use a currency deflation, particularly individuals who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial privacy, for instance, is great for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; in case you are living pay check to pay check, it would take place as part of your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies.
"name": "What Is The Affluence Network International Cryptocurrency Mining"
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also get involved in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain always leaves public evidence that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.

Lintel, from Ancient Heritage blog
Channel 4's Dispatches programme is doing a report on Monday on the London antiquities trade. They sent two academics undercover to pose as collectors and Augusta McMahon (senior lecturer in archaeology at Cambridge), and Alessio Palmisano (University College) wore hidden cameras as they browsed antiques shops. The episode is being broadcast tomorrow on Channel four (Isis and the Missing Treasures)
Journalist Simon Cox investigates how easy it is for terrorist groups such as Islamic State to exploit the trade in looted antiquities. For the last eight months, he has been undercover examining this lucrative business and testing the laws designed to regulate it, finding a world of dubious provenance and questionable deals in the heart of London and on the internet. He also looks at what Isis doing to the world heritage sites in territory it holds.
According to Robin Henry writing in the Sunday Times ('Syrian antiquity found on sale for £30,000 in London' The Sunday Times - 17 April 2016) they found what seems to be a recently-surfaced Syrian artefact in an upmarket antiques shop in Mayfair, central London . This was located in one of the places I examined on my December trip there, but I do not recall spotting this there then. They report that the dealer in Middle Eastern Eastern and Islamic metalwork and manuscripts had on offer an ornate 6ft piece of carved stone probably a lintel, "the academics suspected that it originated from Syria". The original offering price was £50,000, but when McMahon and Palmisano returned several weeks later, the shopkeeper said the "owner of the antiquity had agreed" to drop the price. Of course linking this item with ISIL as the programme-makers apparently wish to do is impossible unless firm evidence appears on which part of Syria it came from and precisely when and how it entered the market - but that is precisely the kind of information the no-questions-asked mode of doing business on the antiquities market is intended to obscure.
UPDATE 20th April 2016
After much fiddling, fussing and checking, I concluded that the Channel 4 streaming video thingy cannot be accessed from Poland, but from all accounts (David Knell Wednesday, 20 April 2016 'Dispatches and the Missing Evidence'; David Gill Monday, April 18, 2016 'ISIS and The Missing Treasures' see here too) I did not miss much. The broadcasters' own summary can be found here. Gill notes laconically: "The programme discusses a lintel known to have come from Syria and on offer in London; a manuscript in Copenhagen; and an intercepted consignment". Knell points out that in the case of the lintel from Nawa, removed from Syria sometime after 1988 "Nawa was captured by al-Nusra Front and other rebel factions, most recently in November 2014, and al-Nusra Front had already split from ISIS by the end of 2013. So, were the real culprits al-Nusra Front?". The manuscript is equally difficult to pin to ISIL. Knell summarises his impression:
the documentary failed to track down a single object in the UK that had definitely been looted from Syria or Iraq since civil unrest began in 2011, let alone one that had definitely helped to fund ISIS [...] we are still left wondering why the media is fixated only on ISIS (it is far from being the sole reason for Syria's appalling loss of its heritage both before and during the crisis) and, despite wild claims, just how much money that organisation is really making from the sale of antiquities. And how many of those antiquities are really reaching the UK. Even only one object is one object too many and we must be utterly vigilant but this programme did nothing to dispel the suspicion that the involvement of the UK market in ISIS loot may be greatly exaggerated.
It is disappointing to find a British TV documentary instead of doing some proper investigative reporting, uncritically jumping onto the US political bandwagon of blaming everything on ISIS and thus feeling compelled to find evidence that the UK is receiving ISIS loot. The fact that such evidence is hard to find does not seem to have worried them in making sensationalist tv. This really is helping nobody I was in that same antiquities mall just four months ago, and it is full of some very interesting material, and a little poking around would have revealed much about the antiquities market's workings. McMahon and Palmisano walked past a whole load of disturbing things, yet for some reason only this lintel seems to have taken the film-makers' fancy. Why?

Court Ruling on Wiretap Is a Challenge for Obama
On March 31, 2010, U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker issued a ruling in favor of the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, Inc. (USA), and two of its attorneys, in their challenge to the warrantless wiretapping. Our firm represents the foundation in other lawsuits. The New York Times described the ruling in a front-page story, and the New York Times subsequently discussed the possible responses by the administration. The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal also covered this decision and its consequences.


Our hosted PBX systems are the ideal solution for maximum redundancy and performance customers.
There are a number of key advantages to using a Hosted PBX versus traditional telephone service or purchasing an office telephone system.
Initial Cost Savings: You do not need to make a large upfront investment by purchasing an office telephone system and there is no need to maintain it. With a Hosted PBX solution the office telephone system is operated and maintained by MikiPro.
Ongoing Cost Savings: A Hosted PBX implementation is significantly more cost-effective over the long run than a traditional on site PBX solution.
Geographical Flexibility: Employees can work from anywhere when your office phone system is virtual. You can have employees working from home, other offices, mobile phones, as well as overseas.
Local Presence: Hosted PBX systems allow you to get local virtual numbers in cities where you are not physically located which allows you to create a virtual presence or open a virtual office in any country around the world.
Credibility: For small businesses a virtual system can give them instant credibility by presenting their customers with a professional sounding telephone solution. Traditional telephone systems are generally cost-prohibitive for smaller organizations. Using an Interactive Voice Response service would project a larger company appearance.
Scalability: Traditional phone systems are limited by how many users they can handle as well as how many lines you have purchased from your local telephone provider. Virtual systems can expand and grow with your business as you need them to.
Quick Setup: A Hosted PBX solution can have you up and running extremely quickly compared to that of a copper telephone system.
Ease of Use: End-user management of a Hosted PBX is far more user-friendly than is the case with traditional solutions. Intuitive web interfaces mean that anyone can manage, monitor and make changes to the service at any time, without needing any specialized skills or experience and while being able to access the PBX from off site.
Our cloud-based service provides a wealth of powerful features, many of which are included at no additional cost. Below is a categorized list of some of the most popular features.


After reviewing recommendations from the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the President today signed a determination to apply an increased duty to all imports of passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China for a period of three years in order to remedy a market disruption caused by a surge in tire imports. As part of its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), China agreed to a special safeguard mechanism that would allow its trading partners to implement remedies in response to import surges and under other circumstances. The President decided to remedy the clear disruption to the U.S. tire industry based on the facts and the law in this case.
The additional duty to passenger vehicle and light truck tires – complementing the existing 4 percent duty– will be set at 35 percent ad valorem for the first year, 30 percent ad valorem the second year, and 25 percent ad valorem the third year.
A presidential proclamation and memorandum are attached.

Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou Says Aims to Step Down to Pave Way for Younger Talent
By Reuters | Updated: 15 April 2019 13:27 IST
The chairman of Taiwan's Foxconn, assembler of Apple's iPhones, said on Monday he plans to step down in the coming months as he wants to pave the way for younger talent to move up the ranks of the world's largest contract manufacturer.
Terry Gou, speaking on the sidelines of an event in Taipei, said that while he planned to resign as chairman, he hoped to remain involved in strategic decisions regarding the company's business.
When asked by Reuters if he would quit as chairman, Gou said he was moving in that direction, although any decision needed to be discussed with the company's board.
"I don't know where you got the information from. But I have to say, basically, I'm working towards that direction - to walk back to the second line, or retire ... I have been busy for 45 years. I should hand it over to young people," Gou said.
"I will be involved in the major direction of the company, but not involved in daily operation.
"I'm already 69 years old. I can pass down my 45 years of experience. That's the goal I set up - to let young people learn sooner and take over sooner and to replace my position sooner."
Gou said his plans would be discussed with the board of Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, in the coming months.
"Initially, we will tell the shareholders in the AGM in June. In the board meeting in between April-May we will give the new list of board members to the board," Gou said.
A source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters that Lu Sung-Ching, the chairman of Foxconn Interconnect Technology, the electronic and optoelectronic connectors unit of Foxconn, was among the possible candidates to take over from Gou.
"It doesn't mean he will just be gone. He will remove himself to the second line and he would not be involved in the daily operations," the source said.
Foxconn's shares rose after the news and closed 3.2 percent higher on Monday.
Founded in 1974, the Foxconn group has grown to become the world's biggest contract manufacturer with TWD 5.2 trillion ($168.52 billion) in annual revenue, assembling goods for Apple, SoftBank Group, and other global tech firms.
Last month, Foxconn reported a smaller than expected fall in quarterly profit, despite warning signs from key customers including Apple that demand for tech electronics was softening.
The news comes three months after Reuters reported Foxconn was reconsidering plans to make advanced liquid crystal display panels at a $10 billion Wisconsin campus.

US authorities double reward for Jamaican suspect in girlfriend murder
Loop News Created : 1 May 2019 Caribbean News
Leroy Headley
The cash reward for information on the Jamaican-born suspect in the killing of a Vermont woman last year has been increased.
The US Marshals Service announced Monday that it is now offering up to US$10,000 for information that leads to the arrest of Leroy Headley, 37, who they said has ties to Jamaica, where he is originally from, and across the US and Canada. The service had previously offered US$5,000.
Headley is wanted on a second-degree murder charge in the May 3 shooting death of his partner and mother of his children, Anako "Annette" Lumumba, 33, in South Burlington.
"Headley's criminal conduct and disregard for the law has made his apprehension a top priority for the US Marshals," Bradley Rose, US marshal for Vermont, said in the written statement. "Although Headley has avoided apprehension for almost a year, this investigation remains active and intensive."
Headley's car was found on May 18 in Albany, New York.
There was some information during the investigation indicating that he was in Philadelphia at one point, deputy US Marshal Michael Barron said Tuesday. The service says it is believed he is living under an assumed name and may have shaved his head or changed appearance.
"This is an individual that certainly could be anywhere in the US," Barron said. "It's certainly possible that he's set up roots in an area that no one knows who he is and he's just doing his thing."

Borough among London's most affordable for housing
By Marco Cillario - Mon 18 January 2016, 11:35 am
Barking and Dagenham is among the ten top-performing locations in the capital in 2015 for housing price growth, yet remains one of the most affordable London boroughs, research reveals.
Property market experts, CBRE Residential published its "Hot 100" research, outlining details of last year's London residential market.
Barking and Dagenham is placed third among London's best performing boroughs, with a price growth of 12%. Only Newham (16%) and Hillingdon (13%) have seen a bigger rise.
Despite this growth, the borough is still one of the ten most affordable areas to buy in, although it fell from first to tenth place in the CBRE list.
London's house prices grew by seven per cent and, in contrast to recent years, the outer boroughs outperformed the central areas, the research says.

Thirteen new council homes at Sugden Way in Barking were delivered and lifted into place in the space of just seven days.

The total weight of the eight shipments was 572.34 grams with an estimated street value of $15,000, which when further processed and distributed could have impacted thousands of U.S. citizens with deadly results, according to the statement.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized nearly 600 grams of fentanyl in Canadian mail trucks crossing the Blue Water Bridge in January.
Officers identified eight separate shipments via Canadian mail trucks that did not match the manifested contents of the packages and selected them for an enforcement examination at the Centralized Examination Station in Marysville, according to a statement.
Upon inspection, the packages each contained a white rock-like substances which were detained and tested locally before being sent for further examination. Lab testing results came back confirming that each package contained fentanyl and meso-erythritol (sugar alcohol), according to the statement.


This may seem daft, but I've created my codeplug, repeaters, contacts, zones, groups, scan-lists the lot.
I have my DMR id number 7 digits beginning 235xxxx.
I power on and i see my zones, but how the heck do I key up to say TG 13.
But when I key the PTT button I get "beeeeeep" then nothing , (the led flashes red a couple times).
It works fine in simplex & on analogue repeaters, but am I missing something?
I'm totally new to DMR, so is there a TYT dummies guide or video out there on how to make a simple QSO?
I've found programming & people making QSO's but never have I seen a step by step guide to which buttons to press to access say TG13.
What was the solution?? please let us know then the knowledge can be passed on if the problem happens to anyone else..
Don't take this the wrong way but as your knowledge of DMR is minimal, your best bet is to ask about for a MD-380 codeplug written for use with your local repeater(s), load it up and give it a try. If that codeplug works you can then change the DMR ID to your one..
If the radio still appears to not work with this codeplug it could be because you are out of range of the repeater.
Good plan, I've just found a local codeplug and will upload that later today and give it a try.
- methinks I've been a bit too "adventurous" in my own endeavors.
For the FW solution, I was sent the original FW for the MD-390 from a TYT techie in the US.
He asked me not to share it, but of course I will anyway.
This weekend I'm going to upload it to a sharing site and will post the link in here.

Have to agree, the only reason anyone needs this firmware is if they did what the OP did and accidentally overwrote it, any new MD-390 will have the correct version in it anyway as there is as yet no newer one.
In order to get the TG configured as part of a zone then it needs to be selected as the TG in the channel using the Contact drop down. So you need to include Talkgroups as contacts. They are essentially the same as the ID you have registered which is why they are stored as Contacts.
The Tytera radios can store 1000 contacts so you need to reserve enough of these for TGs if you want to add User IDs with callsigns and names into your radio.
When DMR says channel, that means the whole combination of frequencies, CC, TS etc, it doesn't just mean the frequency.
Does that help? It makes the channels a little wasteful in that you need to create a new one for every TG on the repeater if that's what you need.
I do urge a cautionary note that this is a MD-390 Firmware and not supposed to be MD-380 compatible (dunno why).
It solved my issue and the same issue for someone else I know.

to those who helped with codeplug advice etc and who are maybe waiting and wondering with bated breath........did it work etc?
I made my first DMR QSO on friday night/saturday early am with: 1st Jason N3RJC in USA (PA) quickly followed by Bob M0RAW in Dartford. both made from the French Alps using a Swiss DMR repeater.

Enterprise architecture can eliminate the gap between an organization's technology and its business model.
For years, many companies have experienced a problematic tension between their IT departments and business units. On the one hand, IT works best when it is tied tightly to the company's overall business goals. That's why chief information officers have long worked to get a seat at the executive table — to help set the company's strategic mandate and align IT with the organization's aspirations. On the other hand, business unit executives remain doubtful about IT's ability to support them in creating value. And despite the best intentions of managers on both sides of this gap, companies continue to struggle to integrate IT systems and to determine whether IT actually improves performance, and if so, by how much.
One approach to closing the distance between IT departments and business units is the discipline called enterprise architecture (EA). We define EA as the logical framework that establishes the links between business strategy and organizational structures, processes, databases, and technologies. For example, a bank that wants to capture better customer information in order to energize an effort to sell additional, higher-margin products and services to existing customers would use an EA system to align its customer relationship management, information retrieval, and sales planning software. At the same time, EA applications would be set up for staff training, account management, and frequent assessments of the campaign's efficacy. The goal of EA is thus twofold: to add value through its support of business goals and to enable companies to measure the value added.
A recent survey conducted by Booz & Company confirmed that EA can successfully resolve the differences between technical specialists and nontechnical management. We asked executives at more than 60 financial-services companies and government agencies to evaluate EA's effect on performance in four areas: decreased cost, reduced complexity, reduced risk, and increased agility. The responses were nearly unanimous: Almost every organization that had implemented EA reported that the approach had value, and the amount of value identified varied by the level of maturity of the EA efforts.
Of the organizations in the top third in terms of EA maturity — measured by the degree to which EA was integrated into the organization's overall planning efforts — 60 percent reported gains in all four performance dimensions. By contrast, the few organizations claiming that their EA efforts had produced little or no business value so far were all at the emerging level of EA maturity, in which EA was still restricted to the IT function, with no clear engagement with the business units.
The experience of one large U.K. government agency typified the responses. The agency had been largely paper-based, with separate business processes for the various benefit packages it administered. Fragmented workflow processes and outdated IT systems had adversely affected customer service, efficiency, and staff morale. By implementing an overarching EA framework across its operations, the agency reduced the average time it took to process claims by more than 70 percent, to just five days from more than four weeks, and slashed the number of processing centers by 60 percent, to 10 from 25.
By providing an integrated view of its business and IT architectures, EA not only was instrumental in vastly improving agency performance but also controlled operational risk by allowing for the coexistence of old and new processes. Moreover, the discipline EA brought to the agency gave it a framework to transparently link business objectives with IT requirements.
Attaining high levels of EA maturity, however, is no easy task. An organization that wants to do so must see EA not as a state to be reached but rather as an ongoing process, a long-term effort to improve both the company's technology and its receptivity to using IT as a fulcrum for improved performance. Four key elements must be addressed to master EA maturity.
1.	Strategic alignment. Every EA effort must be focused directly on achieving real business results. Organizations with mature EA programs nearly always design their EA functions to be included in both technology and strategic planning processes — to compel formal engagement between the two.
2.	Leadership and staff development. A successful EA program depends on top management effectively communicating its value throughout the organization (in both technical and nontechnical settings). It also relies on the training and development of enterprise architects who understand the business and can further strengthen the organization's EA capability.
3.	Performance measurement. Accurately measuring the results of EA efforts in terms that show its impact on the business (and using these results to further drive support for EA) is critical. This helps strengthen the message that EA is not simply the preserve of the IT department.
4. Organizational structure and formal processes. Our study found that creating the frameworks, tools, and methodologies of EA is necessary in developing a functional capability, but that they mattered much less in driving business value than the first three elements outlined above. That's because organizational structure and formal processes, although foundational elements of EA, are not differentiating facets of enterprise architecture implementation.
At a time when all industries are being reshaped by changing business conditions, organizations should define their strategies clearly, and then design, implement, and maintain cohesive enterprise architectures that build IT capabilities around those strategies. Organizations possessing these capabilities will be best equipped to create innovative new products and services that can build competitive advantage.
The keys to long-term success are agility, responsiveness to markets and customers, and flexibility in pursuing partnership and acquisition opportunities. A mature EA capability offers the potential to guide organizations in these efforts — to link business processes and technology more tightly with strategy, to make better investment decisions, and to adroitly measure the results of those decisions.

Borders files for bankruptcy protection
Faith Merino · February 16, 2011 · Short URL: https://vator.tv/n/1725
After massive losses last year, the book retailer announced that it's filing for Chapter 11
After months of flagging sales and a dismal holiday shopping season, Borders has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company made the announcement Wednesday evening, sending out emails to Borders Rewards members to assure them that the company will keep running as usual, and its rewards program will not be affected by the filing.
The announcement arrives after months of speculation that the book retailer, which pioneered the in-store book browsing experience, was on tailspinning towards a crash landing after failing to adapt to the digital age. As Amazon and Barnes & Noble took the digital book movement by the horns and released their e-book readers the Kindle and the Nook, respectively, Amazon was slow to catch on and when it did, it was with lackluster results. Borders' e-reader, the Kobo, received apathetic reviews and has failed to compete with the heavy hitters, which has become a two e-reader race between the Kindle and the Nook.
Borders Group's primary competitor has long been Barnes & Noble, but it's easy to see the difference that the Nook and B&N's embrace of ebooks has made in the company's quarterly results.
In December, Borders Group posted miserable third quarter sales that fell to $470.9 million, representing a 17.6% decrease compared to 2009. Its online store also suffered a loss of 8.6% compared to 2009. In a sharp contrast, however, Barnes & Noble saw a 4.9% decrease in its total retail sales to $975.2 million, compared to Q3 2009 when sales reached $930.8 million. Its Web sales, however, were up 46.7% to $176.7 million, compared to $120.5 million the year before. The company's sales soared 9.7% during the holiday season and it saw its highest sales day in the 40-year history of the company on December 23, 2010.
In early January, Borders told book publishers that it would have to delay payments owed to them, and while many publishers rallied behind Borders, the National Book Network halted further shipments to the retailer.
Borders Group CEO Mike Edwards explained the company's situation in a statement late Wednesday. "Because of the ongoing impact of the difficult U.S. economy, coupled with the rapidly changing bookselling environment, we must restructure Borders and reposition our business for long-term success. We determined that the best path for Borders to have the ability to achieve this reorganization is through the Chapter 11 process, which we commenced February 16."
In the last five years, Borders has cut its employees from 35,000 to 19,500. In recent talks with publishers, the company has firmly insisted upon its ability to bounce back from this slump. There were reportedly suggestions of installing wine bars in some locations to create a more social atmosphere, and suggestions of a merger with Barnes & Noble even emerged, according to the New York Times.
A wine bar would be nice, but brick-and-mortar is not the future of bookselling. If Borders wants to get back into the game, it needs to get its digital thinking-cap on.

Applications and Integration Blog: ATO and PTO configurations except options of ATO model do not support decimal quantities"
ATO and PTO configurations except options of ATO model do not support decimal quantities"
We usually encounter this error we are trying to split the model in a such a manner that it result in is model quantity getting split into fractions , pls note that that is not allowed/supported in Oracle Applications.
If we try to ship 1.1.1 with qty says 125 then system will try to split the complete model in same proportion and try to updater the model qty in fraction and thus leads to this Error.
Solution – If you are getting this error because of the Back order of some of the qty, in that case I should suggest you not to ship the delivery details rather wait for the Supply of the material and then Ship the item in a manner that not leads to fraction qty for Model.

Q: Populate listview with an AsyncTask blocking UI and loads for a long time Here is my Problem:
I have a fragment with a TextView for the search query, a button to start the search and a listview to show the results.
I also use 2 custom Adapter because i have 2 search modes.
When i press the searchbutton the asynctask should start working and populate the listview.

*

*Problem: The AsyncTask freezes the main thread :O

*Problem: The scrolling in the populated listview is very slowly..

I think its a problem with the adapter....any idea?

A: I think the problem is in the call to:
 Spanned spannedContent = Html.fromHtml(item.getText());

This is a slow method. You should try to move this call to the AsyncTask, keep a copy within your Paragraph class, and then in the adapter just set the value.
Any other way, you will be making a slow task everytime the screen needs to refresh.
