Mason Greenwood a better goalscorer than Cristiano Ronaldo
by Grant Boone
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed Mason Greenwood as a "special talent" after the teenager helped Manchester United beat Brighton 3-0 at the Amex Stadium.
Solskjaer started his praise of the teenager by stating "He's played fantastically." before going on further, "He's a special kid and we know that when he gets his face up and looks forward that he's risky, but his hold-up play, general play and link-up play was great. I'd have been proud of that goal".
Greenwood's 13th goal of the season in all competitions was the signal for United to take complete control.
"I don't like talking about City but you think of David Silva at Manchester City - that player [that] links all the play together, and I think we've found him in Fernandes". He's a special talent, a special kid that we are going to look after, try to develop into a top top player.
As Manchester United carried the ball up Brighton & Hove Albion's pitch with the speed of the Royal Air Force and the poise of the Royal Ballet, it was an instinctive urge to think back to two goals from Sir Alex Ferguson's era and smile happily that such breathtaking counter-attacking is once again within the gift of those who wear this shirt.
After the game, Ole also praised his new signing, stating "I knew there was a leader there, a victor and we knew we needed that type of player. Fair play and well done to the club for making the deal happen". "It was a great pass by Nemanja, a great cross from Mason and fantastically finished by Bruno so I'm very, very happy with all the goals".
With a run-in that includes games against Bournemouth, Aston Villa and West Ham, Solskjaer's men could enjoy a memorable conclusion to the campaign as they also chase success in the FA Cup and Europa League. "We defend from the front". A win could see them equal last season's points tally with five matches left to play.

Fishing, Aquariums, Photography, Carving, Woodworking, and countless others I can't seem to find time for.
I made a few this way as "joke" gifts for some guys I fished with off and on. They were big believers in lures make the anglers where I am from the other camp. As mentioned just tape the leads directly to the battery essentially making a "throwie" without the magnet. At one time a lot of how to videos on making throwies (way of tagging bridge overpasses, street signs, etc...) Should get one to two weeks of continuous use if just wanting to prototype something initially. You can add colored plexiglass in places to get spots, eyes, etc if so inclined. Trip to dollar store for a few of their LED nightlights or flashlights is where I got my materials.
365nm is the wavelength you are looking for.
I had a lot of the Excalibur stuff at one time (still probably have several dozen) as the local Kroger's grocery store hand a shopping cart full of them for some reason when I was in college in the 90's. I think they were between 0.25 to 0.75 cents a piece. I sold a lot of them during those years.
Model is BD5F. Agree with Salty.
For bass lures; 19 gauge soft temper stainless steel from the local hardware or order from McMaster Carr (0.041 302/304 stainless down to .032 or so for smaller baits).
Jig the way to go. Doesn't have to be too complicated either. Personally would just take two pieces of wood and make and L with them then attach it to a base. The round dowel will nestle in the corner and be supported vertically by your jig. The base should clamp to your drill press table and positioned so the drill bit will be centered on the dowel. I would just hold the dowel in place with my thumb and drill knock them out in short order. With this set up can knock a bunch out quick. You can also make a holder similar to a lead weigh mold out of wood. Just drill a slightly smaller diameter circle than your dowel. Use a hinge on one end and can open and close the handle to hold the piece. Will still need to make a stop system to register the holder so always center. The first option just much easier and quicker.
Most will seal the balsa first. Superglue or thinned epoxy both popular choices. I dipped a lot in dissolved plastic solo cups or the propionate dip. Personally superglue is the way I typically go. After sealing I then lay down a base coat/primer then paint. I still prefer Devcon 30 minute for a topcoat.
Gloss coat for plaster mold?
I have always sealed with thinned devcon. No issues and no loss of detail if done properly. Tried various other methods... well still use the devcon method.
My wife has it on her craft table. I assume the just wrap strips of it around the bait the paint and then unwrap. Someone on the site (many years ago) was wrapping baits and painting to get wacky patterns.
I have observed what you are seeing in the past once based on your newest description. It was with some Gorilla Glue Epoxy being used on a wood working project. I first thought it was my mixing (however never had this occur with the D2T 5 or 30 minute) so mixed some more and still had it happen. Very minimal amount of the product would quickly cure and was granular in nature. I chalked it up to degradation/contaminant in the initial product; likely slightly different related chemical pre/polymer in the epoxide portion or potentially small impurity in the "hardener portion" that chemical reacts at different rate with the product. Either way based on the amount of epoxy I had used in the past just chucked it.
Pictures of the bait, if you can get good pictures of the top coat, will help. Bristles are too easy to see and would easily be removed during top coatings. Bubbles never resulted in a finish that I think of as protruding particles as usually just the opposite with little smooth craters/dimples.
Usually I just use stencils or a modified comb and either do solid stripes or mottled/stippling with the air brush. Never used wonder web but sounds interesting.

One of the hardest part of App Store Optimization is measuring its impact on your downloads and overall performance. In this article, we take a look at various indicators you can use to evaluate whether or not your efforts were successful.
Note: In a previous article, we revealed all our tips for in-depth keyword research and analysis. We suggest you read that one first (if you haven't yet) and come back to this one.
How often should you monitor your app's performance?
As often as you want really, but bear in mind that it takes 3-4 weeks for the algorithms to stabilise your app's rank on all the keywords you added.
On iOS, the algorithm picks up most of the changes immediately (as soon as your app is released). That means that you can go from unranked to ranked (and vice versa) in just a sec. However, the ranks can be very volatile during the first weeks as the algorithm tests how good your app converts on the different keywords.
The keyword rankings of the first 2 weeks of this new slots games clearly depicts the boost that Apple generally gives to new games on the store.
On Android, the algorithm is much slower to pick up changes, and it can take weeks before the algorithm ranks your apps on all the new keywords you added.
We recommend to check every week how your rankings and visibility are progressing to keep a close eye on how the algorithm reacts to your latest update.
On AppTweak, you can monitor the progression of your app's visibility on any keyword or group of keywords using the keyword monitoring tool. You can use the lists of keywords that you built (which we talk about in our previous article on advanced methodology) to have a very clear understanding of exactly on which keywords your app has improved or dropped.
Top and worst keyword progressions for the Deliveroo app on IOS US, one month after an update.
You can tie this to the metadata iterations you've made and see if your strategy has worked or not and benchmark your app against competition.
Many casual puzzle games like Toon Blast are fighting to rank on very popular and relevant keywords. Here is the visibility progression on a list of keywords and combinations including "match", "puzzle" etc. You can see on the graph that Toon Blast is clearly more visible than the others and has been further increasing its visibility since its new version release on September 10 (new version releases are indicated by the vertical dotted lines).
How often should you iterate your metadata?
When you've just released a new version of your app metadata, we recommend to do a first check after 3-4 weeks to make sure the changes you've made are fruitful. If there are still words among your target list for which your app hasn't managed to rank on (or not in good positions), it's probably because the keywords are not relevant enough or too ambitious. You should try giving them more importance in your app's metadata or replacing them with other keywords that can perform better.
Before replacing a word, make sure that you look at all the combinations of that word too. It might be that your app doesn't rank on that keyword alone but ranks really well on good volume combinations that include the keyword. If that's the case, it's definitely a word worth keeping.
These match 3 games have low ranks on "match" but very good ranks on combinations like "match 3" and "match games".
Once you've got a nice set of performing keywords, we think it's best to iterate the research process again every 3-4 months, looking for new keywords and making a new selection. Both Apple and Google favor apps that regularly update their keywords. Moreover, App Store Optimization is a dynamic process because keywords usage and app popularity can change really fast.
You can also research and analyze seasonal keywords following the period of the year. For instance, if you're in the sports industry, you might want to add the keywords "world,cup" to your keyword a month before the tournament starts, so that your app ranks among those results.
Looking forward to Halloween? You're not the only one. The Apple Search Popularity of the keyword "halloween" has gone up from 38 to 54 over the last 90 days.
There we go! Now you have all the tips you need to improve your ASO process, get results and track & share those results with your team!

Plant-Powered People
is creating Podcast + Documentaries + Educational Videos
HELP US BRING MORE LIFE-CHANGING RESOURCES TO LIFE
A few years ago we quit our jobs so we could focus full-time on creating a better world. For the past few years, we've worked together to bring resources to life to educate and support people along a healthy, sustainable, animal-friendly path. We produced dozens of free-access videos, created high-quality plant-based meal plans that have helped thousands go vegan, we started a podcast, and we released our first mini-documentary. We are doing our best to find ways to fund our efforts through conscious company collaborations and product sales, but we still spend much of our time trying to pay the bills.
That's where Patreon comes in. Patreon gives the opportunity for those of you who appreciate our free content to support our work monthly, with a donation as little as $2 a month. Our supporters here on Patreon enable us to dedicate more time to projects like our documentaries and podcast, but also to pay for the many, many expenses involved with bringing these to life.
To continue this work to the best of our abilities and do even more, we need help. We hope you'll consider being a part of our mission to inspire a healthier, kinder world.
ABOUT OUR 7-DAYS DOCUMENTARY SERIES:
I still remember the moment. The moment we decided we wanted to start making documentaries. We had just watched the premiere of What The Health in Los Angeles and we knew that the film would profoundly impact anyone who stumbled across it. Documentaries, we feel, may be the most impactful way to inspire positive change. Driving home from the premiere event, the seed was planted in our minds: we wanted to make a documentary together.
Well, it turns out it can cost hundreds-of-thousands of dollars (or more!) and can take more than a year of focused work to produce a documentary that has a chance of getting on Netflix. Without that kind of financial resources, and as total newbies to documentary filmmaking, we had a lot to learn and figure out.
So...we decided to start with a series of mini-documentaries. We dubbed the series "7 Days" and got to work.
The idea? We follow everyday people who volunteer to eat fully plant-based for 7 days as we document their journey to show just how much their health and life can change in just one week.
We've already released our very first mini-documentary. You can watch it at: 7DaysDoc.com
We learned a ton and would do a million things differently the next time around. And that's where (we hope!) you come in. We're eager to continue on our mission to share how going plant-based can impact life through short-but-impactful films, but need to find a way to cover the costs and enabling us to carve out the time to create more films.
If you'd like to support our work, your support through Patreon would mean the world to us. All of the funds donated here will go toward expenses relating to our documentary series, our podcast, our free-access videos, and other projects we hope to bring to the world.
ABOUT OUR PLANT-POWERED PEOPLE PODCAST:
Life is always easier and more exciting when you have friends to share in your journey, and the path to plant-based living is no exception! On the Plant-Powered People Podcast , we have real, uncensored conversations with folks who've embraced plant-based living and openly share their experiences overcoming obstacles in the most graceful (and sometimes not-so-graceful) ways.
We (Toni Okamoto and Michelle Cehn) bring to life new podcast episodes every other week to help people tackle everyday challenges like being the only vegan in the family, working at a non-veg restaurant job, and more.
As the founders of Plant-Based on a Budget and World of Vegan, we have been hearing the same questions from our communities for years, and many of them fall outside of our personal field of experience. Sure, we can share great resources for vegan moms, but nothing will replace talking to a vegan mom in person about the real-life struggles and strategies for living (and loving!) the vegan life.
That was the inspiration for starting this podcast. We want to provide better answers, better support, and a greater sense of community for all those out there looking for guidance and in need of a hand.
We deeply believe in the power of this podcast to help people along their plant-based journey, and we want to keep this project alive and free for all for many years to come. And that's where you come in :)
Your support through Patreon will help us pay the bills, invest in podcasting equipment, hire an editor, and keep this project a priority.
Whether you contribute $2 or $200, it all makes a difference. We both invest our income right back into creating more resources to help people eat healthfully and align their food choices with their existing values of compassion, and this is no exception. We want to help everyone—people and animals, live their best life.
We've outlined some perks to say "Thank you" for your support here on Patreon, and we hope you'll check them out!
With lots of love and gratitude,
Toni & Michelle

Recap: 'Courtney Loves Dallas' – Did she call him 'Matt NordCow'?!
By: Jessica Rae | January 3, 2014 at 7:14 PM EST
BIG SURPRISE, Courtney's dinner with Matt Nordgren did not go WELL. He told her she was seriously crazy, but he also wants her back. (Not in a romantic way, either.)
Her hair usually looks good. But not in this promo photo. Weird. Photo: BRAVO
Courtney Loves Dallas Season 1, Episode 5 Recap – BRAVO
Previously: Courtney pushed to collaborate with Bauble Bar, and ALSO, oh yea, her Mom had cancer on her face. Plus, Matt Nordgren got all Nordgreny and dropped the L bomb and said he wanted to talk to her. ALSO, there's now an opening to the show where we see Courtney trying on outfits in front of her cool wallpaper.
We open with Courtney dancing, putting on a fur vest, and going to brunch. Her friends talk about how she's always late, while Courtney calls and says, "I'm totally on my way." Tori doesn't care, because she has a mimosa.
Meanwhile, her friends are like "no snacking, we're doing this brunch RIGHT."
"That's so Courtney." – Tori
Even though she's late and has upset all her friends, Courtney tells everyone how she's got her deal with Bauble Bar and is so happy. The good news is that brunch looks delicious, and there's even fresh flowers on the table. I might never spot an item that Courtney is wearing that I can say I also own, but I DO own that same little jar of pepper that they were using. So, take that, life.
ANOTHER NEWS BOMB: Courtney is hiring an intern. A girl who's exactly like her, but ten years younger.
"My only news about men has to do with Mr. Matt Nordgren." – Courtney Kerr
Her friends say she needs to delete his texts, block him, etc. Tori rolls her eyes, and says she's nailed this door shut, but is making excuses and pulling that door back open. Obviously, her friends are right. But Courtney is Courtney, and Courtney wants Matt.
"I think she likes boy drama. I think she likes the fact that Matt is choosing to pursue her. …honestly, it's tiring." – Tori
"I don't think the girls understand why I need to see Matt." – Courtney Kerr
To prepare for another day, Courtney uses the "sock into a bun" trick on her hair, and writes with lipstick on her mirror. (It says, "It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than to be absolutely boring."
For her intern? She has a list. (First, I have to say I love the purple shade of Courtney's bedroom.)
HERE IS THE LIST
tell me when hair is too big
tell me when not big enough
tell me when need hairspray
help me pick up clothes
do things I don't want to do
go to the DMV for me
Katie is the first candidate. "I have a little obsession with Texas," she says. Which is very smart. But then we heard how Katie is so obsesed with Courtney, and wants to someday BE her. That seems threatening. Because she's too eager, she's not getting the job.
Next up, Chelsea with the perfect blonde hair in spiral curls. But who cares about how organized someone is, Courtney wants to make sure both her and her intern can vibe on each other's shoes. But how can she vibe with this next person…a handsome man. I didn't catch his name, but I doubt that's important. Courtney decides to flirt, while he's trying to stay professional.
Luckily, Courtney knows she can't hire a handsome intern. Because he might fall in love with her. Or she might fall in love with him. A monologue follows, and ends with, "honestly, I don't have the money for an attorney right now."
At this point, I'm just waiting for Matt Nordgren to show up and pretend to apply for the position in order to see and schmooze her.
Finally, a brunette shows up. Courtney says, "Blah blah, that's great. Tell me about you, let's talk clothes."
THE TEST BRINGS.
Courtney wants the girl to pick her out an outfit. Which is kind of ridiculous, because if you're a fashion blogger don't you like…pick your own clothes, because you're the girl with the taste?
But, suddenly we see the ulterior motive. Courtney wants someone to help her pick out an outfit for dinner with Matt. She explains it as a kind of hypothetical about a girl who was friends with a guy and who fell in love but the guy jilted her (exhale, okay keep going) and now he's called her up and she's going to see him again. AND SHE GETS THREE MINUTES to create this "dream perfect outfit." Which is nuts, because this closet is huge and the girl isn't familiar with any of the clothes yet.
Anyway, this intern aced this look, and gets hired. Booyah.
"You're going to do great, little one." – Courtney Kerr Quotes
Court's friend, Annie, greets her by saying, "is the princess in the castle?" Which. I can't. MY EYES ARE ROLLING. Or maybe I'm just a little jealous that my friends don't kiss my ass like that. Plus, Annie has a Louis Vuitton purse, so, fizz her. WHERE IS MY VUITTON. Half the women who have them can't even spell it. Same with women who wear Herve Leger dresses but can't pronounce it.
Tori and Courtney have a phone call where they fight about whether Courtney needs to meet up with Matt. Meanwhile, I'm loving the gray and white stripes in Court's bathroom. Screw the fashion, I'm loving the interior design choices that Court's making. (Of course, I kind of doubt she made them. But I could be wrong.)
THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED. They hug. Matt says he wants eye contact. He asks if she's nervous. Courtney is all giggles and nerves, yes. Matt, immediately, launches into how the old times used to be.
"I think you're the mayer of Dallas now." – Matt
"I think you're the player of Dallas." – Courtney
BLAH BLAH, Matt has broken up with his girlfriend, and now Nordcow (I swear that's what she called him) wants to be with her. He wants her back. OF COURSE. Does it help that she's more successful and has her own BRAVO show? SURE IT DOES. Don't be naive. Don't be a Courtney.
I spot a HAIR TOSS, so you know that Courtney's fully into this. She wants him so bad. Putty? MEET HANDS.
Matt Nordgren decides that his approach is denial. He never ignored Courtney. Nope. Didn't happen. HE'S LYING. That wakes Courtney up a little. Matt's logic is that, "we never said we were together." Luckily, BRAVO HAS FLASHBACKS TO PROVE HE'S A LIAR. Liar, liar, Nordcow's pants are ON FYAH.
So, Matt still really misses her. Even though he says he never was in a relationship with her, and he's been busy for a year. So, Courtney gets up and leaves. He follows, because he really likes fame.
"I will never make this mistake, ever again." – Courtney Kerr Quotes
OF COURSE THAT IS A LIE. Or we wouldn't have a show.
I'm providing you lovelies with 'Courtney Loves Dallas' recaps every week, so subscribe to Small Screen Scoop and follow me @ThisJessicaRae.

« How do we do this?
March 24th 2014. The second anniversary of Abby's passing. A day of introspection and trying to find peace. I make a decision. It's time to start developing a different type of relationship with my daughter. She's not physically here with me but I know she is here. March 25th, I create a Facebook page called Abby's Light. Within months the page grows. I find an outlet to express my love for Abby. The page is a test for myself. Think of Abby as she lived. All the positives no negatives. It becomes a living breathing page. It is Abby's Light. It evolves not just as a page but a legacy.
Kindness is what Abby represents. We fight back the loss with positive efforts. Her birthday becomes a day for acts of kindness. Literally through the help of friends, acts of kindness small and large are happening in many parts of the world. The following year, our county in Pennsylvania, Bucks County becomes Random Acts of Kindness Day on her birthday. The day is featured in our local news paper and the popularity of the Abby's Light page grows by 50 percent. November 19th will be considered Random Acts of Kindness day in Bucks County every year.
March of 2015. Abby's Light spins off into a program called Abby's AOK (Acts of Kindness). With Abby's giving spirit in mind we give gift cards to random people and children. The children receive gift cards from Justice Clothes Stores. The adults receive Starbucks cards. At this point we are not a nonprofit, tax exempt organization. We do however, through the generosity of friends, family and strangers receive over a thousand dollars for the program. It is a huge success! Feedback from recipients is heartwarming. Abby's spirit is alive.
My mind is constantly churning what more can be done. Should we form a charity? The startup would be daunting. Wait. I have a degree in business. I'm a fast learner. Why can I not do this when others can? I jump in. I do what is needed to form a nonprofit corporation and become tax exempt for potential donors as well. I made the decision, I learned, I formed a board and here we are!
The Abby's Light Memorial Foundation became official on June 8th 2015. We are just getting started and approaching this in a methodical fashion. The foundation will succeed. I know that in my heart of hearts. This is for Abby! Children will smile and Abby will be that inspiration.
Stay tuned and watch this evolve. Abby's Light will NEVER be extinguished!

We released "My Angel Has Spoken" on March 2012. While true to the original "Shiny Darkness" style – electronic but still very musical – this album is clearly an evolution from "Lighthouse" released in 2010.
We enjoyed making it thoroughly. We didn't fell short of inspiration, and it has been quite a challenge to come up with "only" 12 original titles.
We continued to use digital synthesizers, samplers and other vocoders – as some new instruments got added to the mix. We also tried a number of new things, like remote collaboration on "Highs and lows", exchanging audio files back and forth on the Internet, until we felt happy with the result.
Although we tested quite a number of the new tracks on shows before the album launch, we are very excited to mix the 2 albums and come with a completely new live set which we hope you will enjoy.
The CD has some bonus tracks, courtesy of XMS. The addition of XMS to the "mix" has been very interesting too. We really love XMS's work on the songs: adding a bit more "dance" power to it. An experience all by itself.
Alternatively, if you live in the North of France, call one of the "Cultura" shop, they usually have copies in stock.

The Death of FCoin: A Tale of Bad Token Design - Blockchain Inside, The latest bitcoin and blockchain news.
FCoin is a crypto alternate that started buying and selling in Could 2018. It's possibly greatest recognized within the US and Europe for crippling the Ethereum community, however it's well-known in Asia, and particularly China, for its revolutionary "Trans-Payment Mining" incentive program.
erformance of FCoin's "Trans-Payment Mining" was so sensational that just about each crypto alternate is now dashing to repeat the motivation program. Certainly, inside just a few weeks after launching this system, FCoin's 24-hour buying and selling quantity reached a whopping $17B on June 26, 2018. To place that into perspective, the mixed 24-hour buying and selling quantity on the highest 10 exchanges is simply round $6B. Nevertheless, the surge didn't final lengthy. As reported on CoinMarketCap, FCoin's 24-hour buying and selling quantity dropped to $Zero.16B on August 12, 2018.
What induced the fast rise and fall of FCoin? The FCoin "Trans-Payment Mining" incentive program has been controversial because the starting, however the incentive program truly works and works fairly effectively as demonstrated by the preliminary surge of each day buying and selling quantity. Though the FCoin staff made many missteps in attempting to repair the issue after it began, the fast fall is definitely attributable to basic flaws in its token economics design. The verdict isn't absolutely on the market but, however it seems that FCoin is killed by its unhealthy token economics design!
Token Economics is a brand new instrument that has not existed earlier than within the web or cellular areas, however it performs a important position in any token undertaking. If utilized effectively, token economics helps a undertaking create a brand new enterprise construction and disrupt current incumbents. If not, a undertaking will crash and burn. By studying from the errors that FCoin made, different initiatives, particularly these crypto exchanges attempting to repeat FCoin's mannequin to remain aggressive, could have higher token economics designs and might efficiently remodel many companies into a brand new period.
A good token economics design begins with incentive design since utilizing token as incentive is the brand new and disrupting power. A good incentive design requires deep understanding of the undertaking's enterprise.
Based mostly on my conversations with individuals from exchanges, a very powerful factor that an alternate cares about is the each day buying and selling quantity. This shouldn't be a shock provided that exchanges generate profits from transaction charges and excessive quantity additionally generates excessive liquidity. To extend buying and selling quantity, merchants (patrons/sellers) ought to be incentivized. The best, and maybe solely, manner to supply financial incentives to merchants is by discounting the transaction price.
What's the incentive right here? The "Trans-Payment Mining" mannequin creates a notion to merchants that they're successfully paying $Zero transaction price. This incentive design is clearly efficient, as seen from the massive buying and selling quantity surge in such a brief interval of time. Some argue that this gives mistaken incentives in that merchants come to FCoin to not do actual trades however to mine FT tokens, however opponents of FCoin's method have forgotten that the aim is to extend each day buying and selling quantity and any commerce will improve the buying and selling quantity.
"Should you present incentives, customers will come" is an underlying fact for crypto initiatives that has performed out time after time. Completely different from the normal faculty of advertising and marketing thought, token incentives within the crypto world are a buyer acquisition instrument in and of themselves. FCoin's "Trans-Payment Mining" isn't actually new, however it proved once more that the thought works effectively within the crypto house.
As soon as a undertaking has a great incentive design, it additionally wants the correct token financial coverage, which addresses token provide, token demand, token circulation, and so on. That is important as a result of it would have an effect on the token value and the token value will influence the effectiveness of the motivation program.
In FCoin, the token provide is generated by the Trans-Payment Mining program. On a regular basis, new tokens are being minted into the market and trigger token inflation. In principle, with out token demand or if token demand is smaller than token provide, the token value will go down attributable to token inflation. The white paper doesn't describe native token demand from a utility level of view and the truth is that it's exhausting to create utility demand for an alternate enterprise. Even in case you can power utility demand comparable to requiring initiatives to purchase tokens as escrow to get their token listed, the utility demand will nonetheless be a lot smaller than the "Trans-Payment Mining" token provide.
FCoin does try to create incentives for token holders to carry FT tokens and therefore to scale back token circulation. The incentive is that 80% of FCoin platform income (e.g. buying and selling charges paid by merchants and picked up by FCoin) can be distributed to FT holders as dividends. The logic right here is that FT token holders wish to to obtain dividends and therefore will NOT promote their tokens. By doing this, the token circulation can be diminished, probably driving up the token value.
Sadly, this dividend method is the basic flaw in FCoin's token economics design. As an alternative of driving up the token value, it induced the FT token value to break down. As proven within the chart under, the FT token value surged to about $1.26 inside first two weeks after the "Trans-Payment Mining" program was launched and since then dropped to $Zero.08 within the final 2 months, about 95% from the height. Because the FT token value collapses, the motivation program "Trans-Payment Mining" which relies on FT token value appreciating over time, stops working as effectively and the buying and selling quantity drops shortly consequently.
As FCoin noticed, paying dividends gained't incentivize token holders to carry FT tokens. It is because paying dividends causes the token value to drop and creates a market notion that the token is shedding worth. In consequence, token holders' rational response is to hurry to promote tokens and to promote as quick as doable, which can trigger the token value to fall sooner. This downward vicious cycle is pushed by a market power that's invisible to most individuals. Nevertheless, it's not actually new and there may be an financial principle behind it.
On the whole, we will categorize all tokens into two sorts: currency-like token and asset-like token. Most of the time, the 2 sorts of token can't be blended throughout token economics design. The value of differing types of token is pushed by completely different guidelines. The value of currency-like tokens is pushed by provide and demand. When the demand is bigger than provide, the token value goes up; and when the demand is smaller than provide, the value goes down. The value of asset-like tokens is pushed by the worth of the underlying asset. For instance, if the token represents an organization's property, much like an organization's inventory, the value goes up when the corporate's property will increase in worth, and vice versa. Completely different from token provide and demand which generally are exhausting to grasp and predict, an organization's property are effectively understood and straightforward to calculate. Therefore the intrinsic worth and value of asset-like tokens could be simply calculated. Extra time, the market value of asset-like tokens will converge to its intrinsic value based mostly on the underlying asset worth.
By paying dividends to FT token holders, FCoin makes the FT token an asset-like token or asset-backed safety (ABS). The invisible power driving the value of ABS is effectively studied and understood in firm inventory, which is one other ABS. From a company finance level of view, when an organization is paying dividends, the corporate's asset worth will go down and therefore its inventory value will go down; and when an organization points extra inventory with out adjustments within the firm's asset worth (e.g., a inventory break up), the inventory value will go down. In FCoin's case, dividends are paid out by way of 80% income distribution and new tokens are being minted into the community by way of Trans-Payment Mining EVERY DAY! Are you able to think about the value curve of Apple inventory and the market response if Apple does a dividend payout and inventory break up daily?!
By combining these two forces, the FT token value ought to go down and go down quick. As an example the influence of these two forces on token value, let's do a hypothetical easy modeling of FT token value based mostly on the FCoin mannequin.
The assumptions listed below are 1) the corporate has $10 in property on day Zero; 2) the corporate has 10 tokens in day Zero; Three) daily the corporate generate $10 in income. As present within the desk above, the value drops 75% in Three days.
Provided that the "Trans-Payment Mining" is designed to incentivize extra buying and selling, let's mannequin a situation of accelerating income by altering assumption Three) to the corporate generated income $10 on day 1, $20 on day 2, $30 on day Three. As proven within the desk under, the value drops sooner – 86% as an alternative of 75% in Three days. That is attributable to sooner token inflation attributable to increased income and decrease token value.
For asset-like tokens, when the market value is increased than the token value calculated based mostly on intrinsic worth of the underlying property, the market will appropriate itself in the end and the token's market value will finally attain the token's intrinsic value. Therefore the collapse of the FT token value ought to be thought of regular and is anticipated.
In principle, the brand new FT token holders who purchase FT tokens by way of Trans-Payment Mining shouldn't have the urgency to promote their tokens. It is because from a company finance level of view, dividends and inventory splits don't scale back the worth of the stockholders. As proven within the desk under, token holders of every day nonetheless maintain the identical worth per token equaling the fee per token within the following days even after dividend payout and token inflation.
Nevertheless, the FCoin income distribution design and token unlocking schedule is extra sophisticated than the straightforward instance above. To make is straightforward to grasp (not 100% correct), mainly Trans-Payment Mining program doubles the token inflation out there for income distribution. That is an comprehensible design since FCoin additionally desires to create incentives for token holders of the 49% of "beforehand issued" tokens to carry tokens as effectively. Sadly, this design adjustments the financial worth of current token holders (together with merchants) and creates surprising incentives for merchants to promote tokens acquired by way of Trans-Payment Mining instantly.
As proven within the desk above, the worth per token for tokens held by merchants dropped instantly after the dividend payouts. That is much like the situation the place an organization points new inventory to accumulate an undervalued asset which can dilute the worth of current stockholders. Within the crypto house, the fundamental assumption is that persons are rational. Realizing that its FT tokens acquired by way of Trans-Payment Mining will drop in worth and by lower than the transaction charges they pay, rational merchants will instantly promote the tokens earlier than the value drop as an alternative of holding the FT tokens.
The FCoin income distribution design causes the value of FT token to drop and creates incentives for merchants to promote instantly as an alternative of holding FT tokens. Though the value of FT token is perhaps bumped up to start with and supported alongside manner, the market power attributable to these two results is so sturdy that it's going to crash the value assist effort and collapse the token value. The market notion of collapsing token value will discourage new traders (speculators) and encourage current token holders to promote extra and sooner, forcing the value to drop even additional and sooner. As soon as rational merchants work out the market value route, and that they gained't get their full buying and selling price again if they can't promote instantly, the motivation program doesn't work anymore and buying and selling quantity shortly dries up.
Token Economics is a brand new instrument that didn't exist earlier than in web or cellular house and utilized effectively, it would play a important position in decentralizing many companies and disrupting current incumbents. However token economics design is actually complicated and counter-intuitive. A good token economics design requires not solely deep information of the goal enterprise area, good understanding of incentive design, and robust analytical expertise to create a community impact, but in addition profound grasp of the sport principle, financial ideas, finance principle, and financial coverage which might be the invisible forces governing the market.
The collapse of FCoin could be averted with a unique and higher token economics design. By taking note of incentives and gaining information about financial coverage, token undertaking founders can all contribute to enhancing the standard and success of crypto initiatives sooner or later.

The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinction among military and civilians, including women and children.
This group and its leader—a person named Osama bin Laden are linked to many other organizations in different countries, including the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. There are thousands of these terrorists in more than 60 countries. They are recruited from their own nations and neighborhoods and brought to camps in places like Afghanistan, where they are trained in the tactics of terror. They are sent back to their homes or sent to hide in countries around the world to plot evil and destruction.
The United States respects the people of Afghanistan—after all, we are currently its largest source of humanitarian aid—but we condemn the Taliban regime. (Applause.) It is not only repressing its own people, it is threatening people everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and supplying terrorists. By aiding and abetting murder, the Taliban regime is committing murder.
Americans are asking, why do they hate us? They hate what we see right here in this chamber a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other. They want to overthrow existing governments in many Muslim countries, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East. They want to drive Christians and Jews out of vast regions of Asia and Africa.
Our nation has been put on notice: We are not immune from attack. We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans. Today, dozens of federal departments and agencies, as well as state and local governments, have responsibilities affecting homeland security. These efforts must be coordinated at the highest level. So tonight I announce the creation of a Cabinet-level position reporting directly to me the Office of Homeland Security.
And tonight I also announce a distinguished American to lead this effort, to strengthen American security: a military veteran, an effective governor, a true patriot, a trusted friend Pennsylvania's Tom Ridge. (Applause.) He will lead, oversee and coordinate a comprehensive national strategy to safeguard our country against terrorism, and respond to any attacks that may come.
It is my hope that in the months and years ahead, life will return almost to normal. We'll go back to our lives and routines, and that is good. Even grief recedes with time and grace. But our resolve must not pass. Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened. We'll remember the moment the news came where we were and what we were doing. Some will remember an image of a fire, or a story of rescue. Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever.
As President Bush told the American people in an address to Congress, the successful prosecution of the war against terrorism will require the judicious use of "every resource at our command—every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence, and every necessary weapon of war...." To bring all of the US Government's resources to bear in the most effective manner possible, the US Government maintains a strong mechanism for coordinating the activities of all US Government agencies that have a critical international counterterrorism role.
Ensure that each agency understands and can contribute to the overall counterterrorism campaign.
Coordinate strategic and tactical policy and operational activities against terrorists and their supporters.
Assess and counter terrorist threats to the citizens and interests of the United States and the international community.
Respond effectively to attacks against US citizens and interests overseas and bring perpetrators of terrorism to justice.
Maximize seamless integration of international and domestic counterterrorism efforts.
The President in October 2001 further bolstered the strength of the CSG coordinating mechanism by according the Chairman, NSC National Director of Combating Terrorism Wayne Downing, the rank of Deputy National Security Advisor.
Since September 11 the US Government has taken several steps to block terrorist funding. On 23 September, the President signed Executive Order 13224, augmenting the Treasury Department's authority to block assets and US transactions of persons or institutions associated with terrorists or terrorist organizations. The Order also legalizes our ability to block US assets of and denies access to US markets to those foreign banks that refuse to cooperate in freezing assets. On 2 November, HAMAS and 21 other terrorist organizations not linked to al-Qaida were added to the Executive Order. On 7 November, the United States moved to block the assets of 62 organizations and individuals associated with Al Barakaat and Al Taqwa, money transferring networks that have supported terrorist organizations. On 4 December, the United States announced it was moving to block assets of three financial supporters of HAMAS—the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development; Beit el-Mal Holdings; and Al-Aqsa Bank. In December 2001 and January 2002, fifteen other groups and individuals were added to the list, including entities based in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Spain, and Northern Ireland.
These steps have already achieved results. At year's end, the USGovernment had blocked over $33 million in assets of the Taliban and al-Qaida. Other nations have blocked over $33 million in assets. Additionally, the US Department of the Treasury has established an interagency Foreign Terrorist Asset Tracking Center and has mobilized financial investigators to develop leads for further enforcement action.
UN Security Council Resolution 1373, passed on 28 September, requires all nations to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts and to deny safehaven to terrorists. The 29-nation Financial Action Task Force has articulated the concrete steps necessary for nations to combat terrorism and has invited action plans from all countries to achieve full implementation by 2002. The G-8 has also agreed to work with the coordinating committee of the UN to provide technical assistance to countries seeking to implement UNSCR 1373.
Increasing respect for human rights by sharing with civilian authorities modern, humane and effective antiterrorism techniques.
ATA courses are developed and customized in response to terrorism trends and patterns. The training can be categorized into four functional areas: Crisis Prevention, Crisis Management, Crisis Resolution and Investigation. Countries in need of assistance are targeted regionally and individually based on terrorism activity or potential. Assistance most often takes the form of US based training that begins with a comprehensive in-country need assessment. Airport security training, terrorist crime scene investigations courses, and weapons of mass destruction (chemical and biological) awareness and first responder training are conducted overseas to maximize the impact of the training. ATA assistance may also take the form of advisory assistance such as: police administration, management and organizational training; police instructor training and police academy development; judicial security, and modern interview and investigative techniques. Training-related equipment or bomb dogs may also be included in the assistance package.
The post September 11 era has shifted the focus of ATA outreach to the newly identified frontline nations. These include Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Yemen. At this writing, at least 78 courses are planned or projected for delivery to these frontline nations by June 2002. ATA has identified specific areas in which courses will be added or expanded to address the challenge of developing enhanced antiterrorism capabilities in frontline and other countries. The areas of focus include aviation security, airport security, advanced police tactical intervention, physical security, border controls, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) including mail security, customs/immigration inspection, disaster response and urban search and rescue. Our ability to assist friendly governments with mastering the detection and prevention of terrorist activities will clearly impact our own national security as well as that of the receiving nation. Detecting and stemming terrorist cells at the root before the violence is actualized, crossing borders and oceans, will assure a safer world for all nations.
In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, government officials of these frontline countries are expressing greater interest in receiving antiterrorism assistance. ATA has increased efforts to familiarize ambassadors, regional security officers, and other US officials with the program offerings. The success of our enhanced marketing efforts is evidenced by the fact that every frontline nation has requested antiterrorist assistance in some form. US diplomats report that the ability of the United States to offer immediate, specific, and intensive training assistance along with technical tools and equipment has succeeded in breaking down barriers and building trust.
ATA is responding to the growing demand for training and services, not only by expanding courses and course selection, but also by offering more sessions of the existing courses, increasing ATA program administrative staff and pursuing the development of the Center for Antiterrorism and Security training (CAST) to be located at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. ATA is already offering training at the Louisiana State Police Academy (Baton Rouge, Louisiana), the Federal Law Enforcement Academy (Glynco, Georgia), the FBI Academy (Quantico, Virginia), the New Mexico Technical University (Socorro, New Mexico), and in the Greater Washington DC area, and San Antonio, Texas.
Under the Program, the Secretary of State may offer rewards of up to $5 million for information that prevents or favorably resolves acts of international terrorism against US persons or property worldwide. Rewards also may be paid for information leading to the arrest or conviction of terrorists attempting, committing, and conspiring to commit, or aiding and abetting in the commission of such acts.
The USA Patriot Act of 2001, which became law on 26 October, authorizes the Secretary to offer or pay rewards of greater than $5 million if he determines that a greater amount is necessary to combat terrorism or to defend the United States against terrorist acts. Secretary Powell has authorized a reward of up to $25 million for information leading to the capture of Usama Bin Ladin and other key al-Qaida leaders.
Diplomatic Security took the early initiative in fully cooperating and supporting the efforts of the private business sector/citizens to establish a Rewards for Justice Fund, a nongovernmental, non-profit 501 C (3) charitable organization administered by a group of private US citizens. One hundred percent of all donated funds will be used to supplement reward payments only. Diplomatic Security has forged a strong relationship with the private business and US citizen representatives of the Rewards for Justice Fund. Diplomatic Security has embarked on a much closer relationship with the US public and private business in the US Government's continuing efforts to bring those individuals responsible for the planning of the September 11 attacks to justice and preventing future international terrorist attacks against the United States at home or abroad.
Diplomatic Security is working in close collaborative efforts with the Department's Public Diplomacy Office and the private sector, as sponsored by the US Ad Council, in developing a three-pronged Rewards for Justice Program campaign.
The US Government will make no concessions to individuals or groups holding official or private US citizens hostage. The United States will use every appropriate resource to gain the safe return of US citizens who are held hostage. At the same time, it is US Government policy to deny hostage takers the benefits of ransom, prisoner releases, policy changes, or other acts of concession.
It is internationally accepted that governments are responsible for the safety and welfare of persons within the borders of their nations. Aware of both the hostage threat and public security shortcomings in many parts of the world, the United States has developed enhanced physical and personal security programs for US personnel and established cooperative arrangements with the US private sector. It has also established bilateral assistance programs and close intelligence and law enforcement relationships with many nations to prevent hostage-taking incidents or resolve them in a manner that will deny the perpetrators benefits from their actions. The United States also seeks effective judicial prosecution and punishment for hostage takers victimizing the US Government or its citizens and will use all legal methods to these ends, including extradition. US policy and goals are clear, and the US Government actively pursues them alone and in cooperation with other governments.
Based upon past experience, the US Government concluded that making concessions that benefit hostage takers in exchange for the release of hostages increased the danger that others will be taken hostage. US Government policy is, therefore, to deny hostage takers the benefits of ransom, prisoner releases, policy changes, or other acts of concession.
At the same time, the US Government will make every effort, including contact with representatives of the captors, to obtain the release of hostages without making concessions to the hostage takers.
citizens living in high-threat environments.
The US Government is concerned for the welfare of its citizens but cannot support requests that host governments violate their own laws or abdicate their normal enforcement responsibilities.
If the employing organization or company works closely with local authorities and follows US policy, US Foreign Service posts can be involved actively in efforts to bring the incident to a safe conclusion. This includes providing reasonable administrative services and, if desired by local authorities and the US entity, full participation in strategy sessions. Requests for US Government technical assistance or expertise will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The full extent of US Government participation must await an analysis of each specific set of circumstances.
The host government and the US private organizations or citizen must understand that if they wish to follow a hostage-resolution path different from that of US Government policy, they do so without US Government approval. In the event a hostage-taking incident is resolved through concessions, US policy remains steadfastly to pursue investigation leading to the apprehension and prosecution of hostage takers who victimize US citizens.
Under current US law, 18 USC 1203 (Act for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Hostage-Taking, enacted October 1984 in implementation of the UN convention on hostage taking), seizure of a US citizen as a hostage anywhere in the world is a crime, as is any hostage-taking action in which the US Government is a target or the hostage taker is a US national. Such acts are, therefore, subject to investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to prosecution by US authorities. Actions by private persons or entities that have the effect of aiding or abetting the hostage taking, concealing knowledge of it from the authorities, or obstructing its investigation may themselves be in violation of US law.
The US Government (USG) has established four primary counterterrorism "lists" to serve as tools in the fight against terrorism: The State Sponsors of Terrorism, Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO), Executive Order 13224, and the Terrorist Exclusion (TEL) list. Each list has its individual mechanisms, but they all serve to prevent terrorism, punish terrorists and their supporters, and pressure changes in the behavior of designated states and groups.
Because these lists are a means to fight terrorism, rather than an end in themselves, they are not designed or intended to be immutable. The USG encourages states and organizations to take the necessary actions to get out of the terrorism business. The bar for a state or group being removed from a USG terrorism list is and must be high—it must end all involvement in any facet of terrorism, including passive support, and satisfy all USG counterterrorism concerns.
The Secretary of State is authorized to designate a government as a "State Sponsor of Terrorism" if that government "has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism."United States law requires the imposition of various sanctions on a state so designated. A number of US laws and sanctions affect countries whose governments have been designated as state sponsors of terrorism. The four main categories of sanctions include a ban on arms-related exports and sales; restrictions on exports of dual use items; prohibitions on official US Government economic assistance (except humanitarian assistance), including a requirement that the US Government oppose multilateral bank assistance; and imposition of miscellaneous trade and other restrictions, including a prohibition on imports and liability in US courts for officials of that country that engage in terrorist activity. Inclusion on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list also targets a country for other sanctions laws that penalize persons and countries engaging in certain trade with state sponsors. Currently, there are seven countries on the list: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
The Secretary of State is authorized to designate as FTOs groups that conduct international terrorism and threaten the interests of the United States. Designation allows the USG to block designees' assets in US financial institutions; criminalizes witting provision of material support to designated groups; and to block visas for members of FTOs without having to show that the individual was involved in specific terrorist activities. FTO designation also sends a strong signal that any group that engages in terrorism regardless of its purported goals will be condemned and penalized for its actions.
President Bush signed Executive Order 13224 on 23 September 2001, to give the USG a strong tool for eliminating the financial supporters and networks of terrorism. EO 13224 enables the USG to block designees' assets in any financial institution in the United States or held by any US person. It also expands USG authority to permit the designation of individuals and organizations that provide support or financial or other services to, or associate with, designated terrorists. At the end of 2001, EO 13224 designations allowed the USG, as well as Coalition partners acting in concert, to block tens of millions of dollars intended to bankroll the murderous activities of al-Qaida and other terrorist groups.
Executive Order 13224, signed by President Bush on September 23, blocks the assets of organizations and individuals linked to terrorism. There are 189 such groups, entities, and individuals covered by the Executive Order. Following is a complete listing.
Muhammad Atif/Subhi Abu Sitta/Abu Hafs al-Masri ("Most Wanted"
President Bush on 26 October 2001, signed into law a comprehensive counterterrorism bill (Public Law 107-56, also known as USA PATRIOT). The new law strengthened enforcement tools and made improvements to the last major terrorism bill, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. The Patriot USA Act also created a Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL) with immigration consequences for groups named therein. Designation on the TEL allows the USG to exclude or deport aliens who provide material assistance to, or solicit it for, designated organizations, giving the Department of State and US law enforcement agencies a critical tool for bolstering homeland security.
Statement on the Designation of 39 Organizations on the USA PATRIOT Act's "Terrorist Exclusion List"
To further protect the safety of the United States and its citizens, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, in consultation with the Attorney General, on 5 December designated 39 groups as Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL) organizations under section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by the new USA PATRIOT Act. By designating these groups, the Secretary has strengthened the United States' ability to exclude supporters of terrorism from the country or to deport them if they are found within our borders.
The campaign against terrorism will be a long one, using all the tools of statecraft. We are taking a methodical approach to all aspects of the campaign to eliminate terrorism as a threat to our way of life. This round of Terrorist Exclusion List designations is by no means the last. We will continue to expand the list as we identify and confirm additional entities that provide support to terrorists.

Kerncentrale Chmelnytsky (Oekraïens: Хмельницька атомна електростанція, ХАЕС, Russisch: Хмельницкая атомная электростанция, ХАЭС) ligt bij de stad Netisjyn in de oblast Chmelnytsky aan de rivier de Horin.

De centrale heeft twee actieve drukwaterreactors (PWR) van het type VVER. De bouw begon in 1979 en de eerste reactor kwam gereed in 1987 en de tweede volgde in 2004. In 1985 begon de bouw van de derde reactor en een jaar later werd met de vierde begonnen. Na de kernramp van Tsjernobyl in april 1986 staakten de bouwwerkzaamheden. In april 2010 sloot de Oekraïense regering een financieringsovereenkomst met Rusland. Rusland zou een groot deel van het geld voor de bouw van de twee reactoren, een investering geraamd op 28 miljard Amerikaanse dollar, regelen. Deze overeenkomst werd in april 2017 geannuleerd. In november 2021 volgde een contract met Westinghouse Electric Company voor de levering van Westinghouse AP1000 reactoren voor de twee in aanbouw zijnde blokken. Eigenaar van de centrale is het staatsbedrijf Energoatom.

Ahead of rainy season, UN mission relocates displaced civilians in South Sudan capital
The UN Mission in South Sudan and other agencies are helping to relocate displaced civilians like these at the Tomping camp. Source: UNIFEED
The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) says it is in the process of relocating civilians displaced amid the recent conflict to better shelter ahead of coming rains.
Some 706,000 people have been displaced since fighting between pro- and anti-Government forces began in mid-December 2013, 77,000 of whom are seeking refuge at UNMISS bases.
The Mission will be providing protection by escorting buses, transporting internally displaced people between its Tomping Compound in the capital, Juba, and the UN House.
"The Mission says that the congestion of sites, compounded by the coming rains, remains a major challenge," UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told reporters in New York.
"The Mission is seeking to expand sites in Malakal, Bentiu, Bor and Juba. And it is also creating new areas for civilians to seek safety in Juba and Bor."
In Bor, in Jonglei state, the Mission notes that civilians have been seen rebuilding their homes and that trading activity in the town has increased and basic foods are available.
Ten days ago, the first major rainstorm of the season caused flooding and destroyed or damaged hundreds of tents in an UNMISS base in Juba. The tents were able to be fixed and there were no reports of injured civilians.
The UN and its partners are working to develop ways to mitigate the risks of flooding and associated health and safety concerns.

As the fighting continues in South Sudan, United Nations humanitarian agencies warned today that the approach of the rainy season is a major concern for the 706,000 people displaced since the beginning of the crisis in December 2013, 77,000 of which are seeking refuge at UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) bases.


This is a 25 year-old female who wanted to go from an A cup to a C cup breast. She decided on silicone breast implants. She did sizing in the office and decided on 325 cc full profile implants. The implants were placed under the muscle (submuscular) via an incision under the breast (inframammary). The incision was placed in the lower fold of the breast. The patient had the surgery at our JCAHO accredited surgical facility in Downers Grove, IL. The implant was placed with a Keller funnel using a 'no touch' technique after being placed in a triple antibiotic solution. We injected Exparel around each breast pocket to reduce postoperative pain and decrease the need for postoperative narcotics. The patient tolerated the procedure without complications and at 6 weeks has a good cosmetic result.

X-Acceleration Transcoder PRO is a ffmpeg based hardware acceleartion product for IPTV live stream transcoding solution. It's not just a software, it's a professional solution. compared to the traditional CPU based transcoding server. It can use much lower hardware cost to transcoding much more live stream. and even much lower power consumption.
X-Acceleration Transcoder PRO supports Intel QuickSync and Nvidia CUVID/NVENC so far. we also will supports AMD AMF in the future.
The traditional transcoding software just sell the software with license. and level many things to the customer. sometimes, you even can not get a professional customer supports.
Now, What we provided? You tell us your requirements, we tell you what's the best solution for you.
1. What's the best hardware for you?
If you just started your business, or you want to cloud solution? it's okay. we recommend you to order the online dedicated server with Intel QuickSync supports. like: E3-1235L@v5, E3-1245@v5, E3-1275@v5. You can use 100 USD to transcoding 8 HD1080@25 or 16 HD720@25 fps streams immediately. You can also use your own PC to do this. If it has Intel 6th-generation Skylake CPU inside it. which is supports QuickSync too.
If you want to build a data center level transcoding servers. we recommend you using Nvidia NVENC technology. compared to the QuickSync, you can plugin multiple Nvidia GPU card to maximum the server performance. If you want to transcoding SD or HD720 streams. we recommend using GTX 1060 6GB or GTX 1070 8GB. because when you transcoding these SD or HD720 streams, the bottleneck is come from GPU RAM. so more GPU RAM is better in this situation. But if you need to transcoding HD1080 streams, We recommend you using the GTX 1050 4GB or GTX 1060 6GB. now the bottleneck is GPU performance.
2. We setup everything for you.
You only need to do is choose the hardware solution we recommended for you. and order the server or build it by yourself. but before that, we need you install the Linux system on it. normally CentOS 7 is best.
You can give us a temporary ssh login info. we can setup Teamviewer, Intel Media SDK, Nvidia Linux Driver and the XACCEL-CODEC software for you. If you want to install extra software, just let us know that.
3. Tickets + Skype + Teamviewer supports.
You can send us tickets for sale questions, we can answer your any technical questions because you are talk to the developer directly. If you have urgent problem need to solve, please contact us on skype. so we can solve you problem immediately.
After 10 months long term development, XACCEL-CODEC is ready. Let me list the features it supports.
6. Unlimited the live transcoding streams. It only limited by your hardware.
17. RTMP, RTSP, RTP and UDP output protocol supports.
7. 24 x 7 hours long time stable and uninterruptedly transcoding supports.
