Wild Hunger
She put down her tools, lowered the music, and then pushed up her goggles as she made her way to the front door. As she swung it open, Frankie silently cursed.
"Hello, Francesca."
She forced a smile for Geoffrey. He didn't return it. His expression was grave, and there was a grim twist to his mouth. No prizes for guessing what had brought him here. Vance had obviously called him about Trick. Weasel.
Stepping aside, Frankie invited him in with a sweep of her arm. "Can I get you coffee?"
Frankie headed to the kitchen, knowing he'd follow. She pulled the goggles off her head and placed them on a stool. As she handled the coffee machine, she flicked him surreptitious glances. Her wolf watched him carefully, distrustful of this man who'd lied to Frankie.
"It's been a while since I've been here." He glanced out the window. "Your backyard is still in good shape. Do you spend much time out there?"
Crossing her arms, she leaned against the counter. "Some."
"It occurs to me that I'm not quite sure how you spend your time these days. You used to enjoy surfing and diving."
"I still do, when my time's free."
"What have you been doing with your free time lately?" he asked, and it was obvious what he was getting at. Oh, that was Geoffrey. He'd ask inane questions, lead the conversation exactly where he wanted it, and then pounce.
Well, she wasn't interested in playing games with him. "Why don't you say what you really came to say?"
His chest puffed up. "I got a call from Vance. He said he saw you at the movie theater."
Her wolf snarled at the mention of the asshole. Frankie grabbed a mug from the cupboard and placed it on the countertop. "He did."
"He also said you were on a date."
"I was."
"Vance claims that the man you were with at the movie theater is a shifter."
"Trick is a shifter." Having poured coffee into the mug, she set it on the island between her and Geoffrey. "And I noticed that you didn't come here to ask me if it was true. You took Vance's word for it. So why have you come?"
Geoffrey's mouth flattened. "Your grandmother is distraught. So much so that she wouldn't even come with me to see you."
Which hurt, but . . . "It's not the first time she's given me the cold shoulder. It won't be the last." That only added to the hurt.
"We lost Caroline to one of those savages. We will not lose you to one too."
Irritation tightened her muscles. "I'm sure Vance told you how he knows that Trick is a shifter, which means you know that Trick recently defended a woman who was being mugged. But I see that you're going to overlook that and paint him as a bad guy."
"One good deed does not make someone a good person. For all we know, it was a setup, a publicity stunt."
"You don't truly think that."
"I want your word that you'll end this relationship. It's not as if it has a future." He dismissed the very idea of it with a flick of his hand and adjusted his tie. "Shifters will only commit to their predestined mates."
He was wrong about that, but she wasn't sure whether he was ignorant as to how things worked or he hoped to shake her faith in Trick and what was growing between them. "If you don't think it has a future, why does it bother you?"
"You know why," he snapped. "Have you been back to Phoenix Pack territory?"
"Yes. I wasn't going to tell you about it, because I know it's not something you'd want to hear and I don't wish to hurt you. But if you're going to ask me about it, I won't lie."
He shook his head in disbelief. "Why would you allow people into your life who are blood relations of that piece of filth who killed your mother?"
She felt her eyes flash wolf as the animal reached for the surface to make her anger clear. "I'm his blood relation," Frankie pointed out. "So if being his relation makes them filth, it makes me filth."
Geoffrey appeared to flounder. "The word will soon spread that you're dating a shifter, now that Vance's mother knows. That woman can't keep anything to herself. Do you have any idea how hard it will be for Marcia to listen to talk of how her granddaughter has repaid everything she's ever done for her by turning to the people responsible for Caroline's death?" His nostrils flared. "I don't understand why you want them in your life. Are you doing it to punish us for lying to you about your past?"
That rubbed her the wrong way. "Why do you think this is about you and Marcia? I gotta say, it's a little narcissistic of you. Or maybe it's guilt. Maybe some part of you knows you did wrong by lying to me."
His chin lifted. "We did what was best for you. We always have."
Okay, now that pissed her off. Because it was a total lie. "Always? Really? I was terrified when I shifted for the first time. Terrified. Because I was alone, and I didn't know what to do. I'd known it was coming for weeks because I felt my wolf trying to rise. You knew how frightened I was, because I told you. And you said that there was no one to help me. But there was, wasn't there?"
"They had no place in your life."
"You made sure of that. You didn't think of how it might have felt if the situation were reversed; you just cut them off. I would have expected better of a judge. Aren't you supposed to consider all sides of a situation? Aren't you supposed to deal with others with sensitivity and have no bias?"
"They didn't deserve our sensitivity!"
"Did I? Because I don't think you once considered me in your decision to remove them from my life. You knew I was half shifter. Knew it would be hard for me to be away from other wolves and have no territory. Knew I'd have to one day shift and that someone should be there with me to make sure it went smoothly. You made a decision that worked for you, not for me. You made a decision that allowed you to hurt them, so don't say you did what was best for me. Maybe you and Marcia kidded yourselves into thinking it was for my benefit, but you won't kid me."
His cheeks reddened. "We did what we thought was right."
"I know you too well to believe that lie." She sighed. "So, what, you're holding your love hostage? I can't have it back until I do what you want?" Frankie shook her head. "Unreal. I make my decisions. I'm a full-grown woman—"
"Then act like one. Grow up. Get a real job."
"You did not just fucking say that."
They both turned at the sound of Trick's voice. He stood in the doorway, eyes flinty, jaw hard. Frankie bit her lip. Maybe it hadn't been such a great idea to give him a key to the house.
When he'd pulled up outside the house, Trick had guessed that the Lexus at the end of her driveway belonged to either Frankie's uncle or her grandparents. He'd also figured that there was a good chance that her ex had called them about her date with Trick. So the sound of raised voices had come as no surprise to him.
He'd been ready to step in and defend his mate whether she needed it or not. What he hadn't been prepared for was the pain in her voice as she'd spoken of how terrified she'd been during her first shift. The words rang with the sense of isolation and loneliness she'd felt back then. It had gutted Trick and his wolf. Absolutely gutted them.

GTL Now Offers Video Attachments for its Patented Inmate Messaging Product
ConnectNetwork mobile applications have direct influence on stopping contraband from entering correctional facilities
Aug 11, 2017, 10:22 ET
RESTON, Va., Aug. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GTL, an innovation leader in correctional technology, education solutions that assist in rehabilitating inmates, and payment services solutions for government, today announced that it has launched video attachments for its patented, industry-leading inmate messaging product. Available on GTL's ConnectNetwork® Android and iOS mobile applications, the video attachments feature allows an inmate's friends and family members to send short videos to the inmate.
ConnectNetwork has been redesigned over the past year with new features that make it more comprehensive and easier to use through the website and mobile applications. "Video is a powerful medium for inmates keeping in touch with their friends and family members," said Steve Montanaro, Vice President, Consumer Channels at GTL, "Everything from seeing a child walk for the first time to singing 'Happy Birthday' can be shared with an inmate. We believe this increased connection will have a meaningful impact on recidivism rates."
The new video attachment feature meets the corrections industry's strictest security protocols, and videos are reviewed by facility staff before being released to an inmate. Videos can range from ten seconds to a minute in length, depending on what a facility chooses to allow. While inmates cannot send videos or photos, they are able to use their inmate messaging account to respond with email-like messages from the convenience of their GTL Inspire® inmate tablet or an in-pod device, such as the Flex® Link multi-service station.
Inspire tablets and Flex Link stations allow a greater amount of communication between inmates and their loved ones, not only through messages but also phone calls. In addition, these devices offer inmates the ability to complete education courses, read e-Books, stream music, play games, and much more. Tablets and Flex Link stations serve the dual purpose of enabling communication while also helping with the rehabilitation of inmates, leading to lower recidivism rates.
"We have used GTL's inmate messaging product for several months and have been incredibly impressed with the service," said Captain Sean Stewart of the Pima County Sheriff's Department Corrections Bureau. "We recently added photo attachments and now video attachments and have seen a great response from our inmate population. Inmates that are occupied sending messages and communicating with loved ones are inmates who are not causing trouble for corrections officers and other inmates."
"With that said, I believe it is obvious that electronic messaging is an excellent tool for maintaining a safe and secure facility. Electronic messaging is not an inmate email system. The facility has total control over what communication comes in and what goes out, unlike traditional mail. I can guarantee there isn't any contraband coming in the facility through the messaging product being provided by GTL," concluded Captain Stewart.
The ability for inmates to send email-like messages to friends and family members is no longer just a "nice feature to have" in correctional facilities – it's becoming an operational necessity. "GTL's inmate messaging solution allows facilities to become safer and more secure," said Kelly Lindman, GTL Product Manager, Inmate Services Platforms. "Traditional mail is being laced with drugs – making for an unsafe environment for both staff and inmates. By offering an electronic messaging alternative, it may reduce the overall mail volume, and it affords staff the opportunity to examine traditional mail more thoroughly."
GTL holds nine patents on its inmate messaging product and has another six patents pending. GTL was recently granted U.S. Patent No. 9,667,663 for a key security feature that forwards messages for security review and then transmits them to authorized recipients. GTL diligently works to maintain its position as the corrections industry leader.
GTL's entire solution suite will be showcased from August 20–22 in booth 301 at the American Correctional Association's 147th Congress of Correction in St. Louis, Missouri. GTL will also have its Technology in Motion tour vehicle on display inside the exposition hall at the ACA conference. The Technology in Motion vehicle includes the latest hardware, software, and connectivity to enable comprehensive hands-on demonstrations of the full range of offerings for the corrections, education, and government sectors.
About GTL
GTL leads the fields of correctional technology, education, and government payment services with visionary solutions and customized products that integrate seamlessly to deliver security, financial value, and operational efficiencies while aiding inmate rehabilitation and reducing recidivism rates. With the recent acquisition of Telmate, GTL has strengthened its suite of solutions for the corrections industry and expanded its community corrections portfolio with Telmate Guardian, a smartphone-based GPS monitoring solution. As a trusted industry leader, GTL provides services to over 2 million inmates in more than 2,500 correctional facilities in the United States and Canada, including 33 U.S. departments of corrections, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and many large city/county/provincial facilities. GTL is headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with an employee presence throughout North America. To learn more about GTL, please visit www.gtl.net or our social media sites on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
About ConnectNetwork
GTL's ConnectNetwork is the one-stop resource for friends and family members to connect with their incarcerated loved ones. Friends and family can deposit money into an inmate's accounts, schedule and conduct video visits, and send messages.

Along the Mormon Trail: Introduction and Interactive Tour
This page serves as the introduction to our interactive Mormon Trail. It tells about the trail and the leader of the LDS, Brigham Young. Tour the Mormon Trail by clicking on the links or images in the related items carousel.
From Nauvoo to the Unknown
The Mormon Trail was a 1,300 mile path from Nauvoo, Illinois, to Salt Lake City Utah, used between 1846 and 1857 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Under the leadership of Brigham Young, the first group of Mormons set out from Nauvoo, to an undetermined destination somewhere in the Great Basin. Young hoped to find a place sufficently isolated and undesirable so that his people would not be bothered and could worship without persecution. When the settlers finally reached the Salt Lake Valley, Brigham Young is documented to have said , "This is the right place, drive on." Over the next 11 years, more than 13,000 Mormons poured into northern Utah.

Decoda - Bach, Schoenberg, Adès & Mozart - 11/07/19
Johann Christian Bach: Keyboard Quintet in D Major, Op. 22, No. 1
Arnold Schoenberg: Chamber Symphony No. 1 (arr. Webern)
Thomas Adès: Catch, Op. 4
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Quintet for Piano and Winds in E-flat Major, K. 452
According to a popular saying, good things come in threes. And according to my schedule, last Thursday night I was ready to test the veracity of that claim when, after two highly successful evenings in the Zankel Hall and the Stern Auditorium, the time had come for me to pay a visit to the smallest, but admittedly loveliest, venue of them all, the Weill Recital Hall, to complete my Carnegie Hall season-opening home run.
That perfect opportunity had presented itself in the form of a concert by some members of Decoda, a collective of alumni from Ensemble Connect, the coveted two-year fellowship program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and the Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York Department of Education. Needless to point out, that kind of impeccable pedigree means that the musicians are of the highest caliber.
And sure enough, true to their reputation of talent and boldness, they had concocted a program of "Influences and Inspirations" that featured an eclectic range of works from German Baroque, the Second Viennese School, English Contemporary and Viennese Classical. Not a bad way to spend my last evening of freedom of the next two weeks, and a rainy one at that, before a much less exciting trip to JFK the following evening.
As hard as it is to believe, Johann Christian Bach – AKA the "English" Bach – apparently was more famous in his lifetime than his father, the one and only Johann Sebastian Bach. And I'll be the first one to admit that I immensely enjoyed the immediately attractive melodies, carefree mood and easy flow of his 10-minute Keyboard Quintet in D Major, all confidently brought to life by the five evidently inspired musicians on the stage. That said, I also think that history has made the right choice in canonizing his father.
The audience's fleeting chance to get comfortable ended abruptly when we jumped from an easy-listening opener from 18th century London to a ground-breaking shocker from 20th century Vienna. Indeed, even if some lingering Late Romanticism could be heard in some of the stunningly lyrical violin lines, Arnold Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony No. 1 was squarely facing the future on Thursday night. And what a future it was! Decoda had chosen the Anton Webern-arranged version for the intimate concert, and there they were, expertly dismantling solidly established tradition and virtuosically working their way through the onset of a radical revolution.
After intermission, we moved back to England, but in the company of a contemporary Englishman this time, with a young and mischievous Thomas Adés and his truly delightful Catch. Written when the composer was 19 and still in school, it is a short piece that had a somewhat traditional piano-violin-cello trio onstage contend with a feisty clarinet that looked and sounded comically out of control. Starting in a seat at the end of my row, clarinetist Paul Cho quickly got up and turned into a busybody walking erratically among the audience in the hall and the musicians on the stage, not to mention keeping everyone guessing during his random disappearances. It was fun, clever and, of course, expertly performed.
The last but definitely not least piece on the program kind of brought us back full circle to the beginning as Johann Christian Bach briefly taught a young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart back in 18th century London. Fact is, even if this trivia had not been spelled out in the program notes, it would not have been difficult to detect the same gift for inherently appealing melodies, which in the Viennese master's case end up being yet another asset in addition to the serene elegance and refined intricacies of his stunningly crafted Quintet for Piano and Winds. The terrific playing by the Decoda musicians did the rest, and our evening wrapped up with the best that the Classical tradition has to offer. Mozart was reputedly very proud of that particular composition, and there's no doubt he would have been very pleased with that particular performance.

@wheelcity what tire pressure are you running with?
A theory as to why footpads aren't available is that they may be steering people to buy new onewheel +s, I think the concern is that a lot of owners may try and retrofit their original if they made the foot pads (along with the+ bumpers) more readily available.
@cameroni79 OW for sure can hit 20mph and then some. Rider weight, skill level, terrain and other factors have a lot to do with whether that ends up good or in a nosedive. I don't understand guys just jumping on a onewheel for the first time and slamming on it to see how fast they can go, that's asking for trouble. As long as a rider masters the basics and eases into higher speeds, each person can figure out what their own personal limits are.
@jeff-schwaninger just saw this from @nicksmename in another thread, maybe try this: On a flat surface. Plug in the charger to the board. Long press the button until the charger color changes. Disconnect and turn back on.
@chalo it's not possible to charge the board while it's being ridden, you have to stop, charge then ride.
RE: Get your refund while you still can!!!!!
@thetruestatement very uncool. @njcustom has been around since the beginning and he makes an excellent product. You've been a member of this forum for 7 days. Yeah he's behind on fulfillment, but your approach is slanderous and highly suspect, it doesn't ring true. Unless you're going to let us know who you are and present facts rather than wild accusations, you should knock it off. If you've got a beef with Jon you could have contacted him directly.
RE: New OW version ?
@fkra I hear you. It's frustrating. Maddening actually. I feel really fortunate that I've only had to send 1 board back 1 time, and they were pretty prompt about it (9 days from shipped to them to receiving it back) and they definitely fixed the issue correctly. But you are not alone. As crazy as it might sound, if you can swing it, pick up a 2nd board from your local dealer- because once you have a board that works well and runs properly, it's ecstasy. Meantime you can work with FM in the background to get your current board repaired.


We took a quick trip to Český Krumlov this week. We'd been there before, during our tour in Prague. When we visited, it was kind of a backwater, with mostly Russian tourists on day trips from Prague.
Wow has it changed. It's much more of a party/tourist town now, and most of the crumbling old buildings have been renovated. Kind of sad in one way, but the Czechs are very good at renovation. In fact, I'd say they are better than the Austrians, because they don't overdo it and wipe out all the character. This could be because they aren't as rich, but I also think they have a bit more respect for history.
And it's so crowded! I didn't see or hear any Russians this time. All Germans, Japanese and Chinese on day trips. At night, there seemed to be more English-speakers around, for some reason. Maybe Americans don't go so much for the package tours. It is an easy place for us to visit, because everyone seems to speak English–at least now they do.
As always, we enjoyed dusting off a little Czech just to surprise people. And were a bit wistful for the shabbier post-Communist days.
We came, we saw, we toured the castle, we enjoyed the beer, we went on a night-time photography tour of the old town, we ate well, slept well, and then left after a yummy (vegetarian!) lunch.
The Vltava river meanders through the town, with houses, hotels, and restaurants on both sides.
Neat old building with "sgraffito" decorations.
View from inside our hotel room.
Tons of souvenir shops–with tons of witches, not sure why.
I cannot explain the name of this shop. The owner was Vietnamese. Maybe a relative who worked for Texaco helped her buy the shop?
All your tourist needs including arms and defenses.
Very, very old and slightly spooky street art.
I LOVE these wrought iron windows.
One of the few remaining unrenovated buildings. This is what most of the town looked like the first time we visited in about 2002.
In every Czech town of any size, there will be a pub dedicated to Sargent Svejk.
Plague column in the town square.
Drama on the plague column.
The street has officially been rolled up.
OK, one more shot of the tower.
I thought this was funny because the guy on the right looks so annoyed.
Medieval in the foreground, apartment blocks in the background.
The castle museum had a big exhibit of gifts given to the Schwarzenbergs. I feel this puts some of our office gifts into perspective.
Kind of cool paperweight thing.
They dug this poor saint up from the Roman catacombs, shipped him to Cesky Krumlov, and then made a convent full of nuns decorate his bones.
Another reliquary….there are always reliquaries.
Didgeridoo player on the bridge by our hotel. Thankfully, he stopped about 9 pm.
Island in the river. The part on the left is a millrace.
The waterwheel at the mill.


Our viewing window whiteboard: well-used!
American Goldfinch nest. Photo by Erin Talmage of the nest in our Goldfinch exhibit.
A warm and muggy month! Good for raising nestlings? Thanks to the sharp and patient eyes of one of our interns, we saw a few birds that are rarely spotted in our feeder area (although they can be heard in the nearby forest canopy on some of our bird walks).
Northern Flicker. Carved by Bob Spear; photographed by Museum staff.
Holy mackerel, May is intense! Not to detract from our month-long-we-all-add-to-it Viewing Window list, but did you get to see the eBird lists too, from what has been seen and heard here? Did you see or hear some of the rich migrations? Enjoyed the predictions on Birdcast? What a month!

Much like the foundation of a house ensures a strong and stable structure for many years to come, proper accounting of your business's activity ensures the likelihood that your business will ultimately succeed. During a time where eight out of ten businesses fail within the first 18 months, having a solid accounting foundation to your business can help prevent you from having to give up on your dream.
Below find just a few of the many ways in which a solid foundation of accounting to your business can help you succeed.
Whether it be necessary startup capital, a line of credit you need to get you through a slow season or a loan to finance a piece of equipment, lenders and banks will in just about all cases require financials or tax returns to judge your business's ability to make repayments. In the event you've just started operations, you'll likely need to produce and support a realistic budget of income and expenses. Believe it or not, I have encountered profitable businesses that have been unable to secure the financing they need simply because they had not produced or filed any tax returns since beginning operations.
This is particularly important for seasonal businesses. I've worked with businesses over the years that were flush with cash during the summer months from operations but struggled to make payroll and cover overhead during the offseason winter months. As a result, they bounced checks and incurred thousands of dollars in bank overdraft charges annually. By maintaining current and accurate accounting records, we were able to budget accordingly for the slower months of the year and eliminate this problem, as well as alleviate the owners of some significant headaches.
If you don't have an accurate accounting of what you're spending where, how would you know if you're overspending in certain areas? As common practice, you should be reviewing your income and expenses comparatively with the prior year or period. Is your gross income rising or declining, why? Why has your insurance expense doubled over the last year? These are things you or your accountant should be reviewing at intervals during the year to ensure you are not overspending in any particular area. In addition, your accountant should be making recommendations with certain expenses they know you may be overspending on unknowingly, such as payroll or credit card processing fees.
As a business owner, you have to wear many hats. Be sure not to overlook that which may be of most importance, and most integral to the sustainability of your business – accounting.

Android Pay has become a popular method of digital payment since its launch in the US and Europe. It hasn't been launched in India, however, where the mobile payments landscape is a bit different. A government-endorsed platform called UPI (Universal Payments Interface) is widely used in India, with banks, e-commerce sites, and even tech companies like WhatsApp and Truecaller launching payment services based on it, hoping to grab a slice of the lucrative pie. Google is almost ready to enter this crowded space, with the launch rumored to be happening on Monday September 18th.
Discover Mobile app gets fingerprint login support (finally), new convenience features
Jordan Palmer 2017/01/24
Using biometric authentication for banking logins is nothing new. It adds a level of convenience with only a slight decrease in security, although I find it only a bit faster than using a PIN. Apps like PayPal and USAA have had it for some time, and Discover is finally joining the party.
Simple Banking App Gets Support For Nexus Imprint, Adds Transfer Memos, And More
6:26pm PST Mar 8, 2016
Banking apps are traditionally terrible and slow to adopt new features. That has never been the case with Simple, and the developers are reminding us of that with an update that (among other things) adds support for Nexus Imprint.
Simple Bank Updates Android App To Version 2.2 With A Few Material Touches And Other New Features
9:58am PDT Jun 18, 2015
Simple is a bank from the future (or the past, I guess), one that lacks physical branches and expects you to handle all of your transactions over the web from a PC or mobile device. After quite a wait, the Portland-based company has pushed out an update to its Android app that comes with enough visual tweaks to make the experience look Lollipop-friendly.
The previous version—which was already clean and, dare I say, simple—looked like a KitKat holdover. With 2.2, the designers have slid the hamburger button from the edge of the screen and tossed a floating action button into the bottom right corner.

Bank Of America Android App Version 6.0 Makes Depositing Checks Much Easier
Bank of America's official Android app has been able to cash checks by taking photos of them for the last few years. It's an extremely useful feature that eliminates one of the last common reasons to stand in a teller line. It's also bloody frustrating, at least with Bank of America's implementation - I'm a customer, and I've often had to find a solid black backdrop and a couple of table lamps just to make the photo clear enough for BofA's strangely picky system.
The update to version 6.0 (all the way from 5.0) seems to have fixed that. I just tried out a test run with an old-fashioned paper check, and even on a light background in poor light, it passed the image verification.
Simple 2.1 Brings Android Wear Support And The Option To Add Images To Transactions
7:27am PDT Sep 17, 2014
Back in mid-August, Simple pushed out version 2.0 of its app, bringing with it a bold, yet simplistic new interface, as well as a handful of other new features. Now the company is pushing version 2.1 to the Play Store (as well as Appstore for iOS devices), which brings a couple more useful features to the table.
First off, Wear support. As of now, Simple will send push notifications to your Wear device, which includes both support messages and transaction notifications. Hooray for not having to pick up your phone when notifications come in.
Secondly, there's now an option to attach an image to transactions.
Bank Of America App Gets A Big Update To v5.0 With A New UI, Appointment Scheduling, And More
7:53am PDT May 30, 2014
Banking apps aren't terribly exciting in general. In fact, they're usually awful, buggy apps that make you hate yourself. The Bank of America app has gone through a few iterations (most of them bad), but the newest update is actually a solid improvement.
T-Mobile Gets Into Mobile Banking With The New Mobile Money Service
T-Mobile is doing a lot of unconventional things for the mobile industry, and now it's branching out to banking as well. The carrier has announced a new service called Mobile Money that works like any number of other online banks. You set up the account, deposit your checks through an app, and use a Visa debit card to spend. As for the fees, most of them are waived for T-Mobile customers.
Bank Of America Android App Adds PayPal-Style Money Transfers Via Email And Phone Numbers
8:04pm PDT Jul 30, 2013
As a Bank of America customer for almost ten years, I can give you a lot of reasons to hate them. But I must admit that the Android app isn't one. While initially a little shaky, the app has gently evolved into something that's perfectly serviceable, and today it gets another substantial update. The biggest addition is the ability to send or receive money through email addresses or phone numbers. Yes, that's exactly how PayPal works, but if you do it via BOFA, you won't have to wait 2-3 business days for another transfer. And look! It's only three months behind the iOS version.
Green Dot Announces 'GoBank', An Online-Only, Smartphone-Centric Take On The Traditional Banking System
Did you know it's national "new mobile banking day?" Because I surely didn't. First, Simple brought its online-only banking setup to Android, and now Green Dot has announced its own bank, which was designed from the ground up specifically for smartphones. Intriguing, no?
https://youtu.be/u0l7vBJUx9E
GoBank is pretty similar to Simple in a few new ways: it's online only, designed for mobile use, and turns the traditional banking system on its head. From there, though, GoBank branches off and does its own thing. For example, you can choose how much your monthly fees are – from nothing at all to $9 a month.

Last week I went to chain italian restaurant with my friends and we all ordered the soup/salad combo. Our waiter was less then attentive and in fact half of our part left after waiting ten minutes to receive our bill. So time came to settle the bill and the tip ended up being about 12% which is usually lower then I tip, but the service was bad, and I wasn't going to reward him for bad service. As we were getting ready to leave, we heard the server say out loud to us "3.00 is that all" and give us a snide look.
I wrote a complaining letter to the restaurant and here is my response.
Thank you for contacting us concerning your visit to our ___________restaurant.Please accept our apology for the type of service you received on this occasion.

Q: Select all user who isn't in a team My database looks something like this, in order of user, userteam (connection table) and team:
    Usertable              UserTeam              Teamtable
+--------+------+    +--------+--------+    +--------+-------+
| userid | name |    | userid | teamid |    | teamid | name  |
+--------+------+    +--------+--------+    +--------+-------+
| 1      | eric |    | 1      |      1 |    |      1 | awsm  |
| 2      | john |    | 1      |      2 |    |      2 | doe   |
| 3      | carl |    | 2      |      1 |    |      3 | empty |
+--------+------+    | 3      |      1 |    +--------+-------+
                     +--------+--------+

How do I select all users that IS NOT in a team, and echo them out only once? I've tried doing it with the usertable, but then it will echo for instance, if I try and select all members not in team 3:
SELECT userid FROM userteam WHERE teamid!=3;
SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid='$previousSql';

1 eric
1 eric
2 john
3 carl

What I'd like instead is:
1 eric
2 john
3 carl

I'm making an add members function, and I'd very much not like everyone to show up more than once.. Any directions, help or guiding would be much appreciated.

A: add
GROUP BY name

to the query

A: SELECT userid, name FROM usertable
JOIN userteam ON userteam.userid = usertable.userid
JOIN teamtable on teamtable.teamid = userteam.teamid
WHERE teamtable.teamid = 3;

The SQL above should do the proper joins between all the tables and then will only list the userid/names of people who have a teamid of 3 in the teamtable
EDIT* Removed ! from WHERE clause.

A: This should do it:
SELECT u.userid, u.name FROM Usertable u
INNER JOIN UserTeam ut ON ut.userid = u.userid
INNER JOIN Teamtable tt ON tt.teamid = ut.teamid
WHERE tt.teamid != 3
GROUP BY u.userid, u.name;

Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Frazier Recaps The 2015 American Music Awards
Krystal Franklin, BlackAmericaWeb.com
Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Frazier recaps the fashion, mishaps and biggest OMG moments of the 2015 American Music Awards.
The most-talked about dress on the red carpet:
"It was Ciara. It was barely there. Her outfit was ridiculous. It's one of the NFL's most amazing assets. I was like, okay, I see you."
The Weeknd vs. Prince:
"My first thought, its when you gone cut that? I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do something very soon. I think a lot of new artist irritate Prince because he's done it before."
Favorite interview of the night:
"Tyrese's daughter Shayla. Little kids usually get rattled on the red carpet, but she was so on point with her Daddy having fun. She wore her dress when she was Beyonce on Halloween."

Alt-rock/post-punk outfit DIY Rainclouds have just released a new single, Alibi, a song conceived via something of an accidental sonic detour.
"Alibi came about when I was trying to write a new part for another song - which I never finished - and somehow ended up with this bassline which begins the song," says vocalist/guitarist, Dylan Walters. "I had this idea to evolve it into this dark song but using elements you'd normally find in like an Alt-J song or something. It only took one day for me to record a demo… which is strange for me it normally takes me about a month or so.
The single is the first release since the band debuted their first EP, Prevention, about a year ago. There's an evolution present, which is understandable.
There's quite a timeless feel about DIY Rainclouds' songs and the way they are performance. It comes from a diversity of influences, old and new.
Walters and drummer Alec Hay first played together in a five-piece band called Puzzle, before forming DIY Soundcouds.
"The initial vision was to play sort of ambient/post rock music," Walters recalls. "After a few more member changes however we lost the keys and started heading in a more post-punk/alt-rock direction.
With a EP and a new single up their sleeve the band's plan for the future is mainly to keep on keeping on.

Source for an autonomous networked robotic arm implemented on NetBurner's MOD5441x platform.
This could be useful if you are interested in controlling robotic servos, using the Pixy color recognition camera, a simple IR distance sensor, or set-up a access point from the Netburner platform.
The robotic arm is designed to pick up objects. It can do this in an autonomous mode and a manual mode. In the autonomous mode, the robotic arm scans its surroundings looking for specific objects. Once it finds them, the arm will pick them up, place them to the side, and continue looking for other objects.
If a user connects to the Wifi access point and uses an Android phone app, they can override the autonomous mode and control the robotic arm manually. In this manual mode, the user can use the smartphone's gyroscope and the app's on-screen joystick to control the location of the arm.


Just after today's 8.0 earthquake in Samoa, a 7.6 earthquake has hit West Sumatra near Padang.
Initially there were tsunami warnings, but they have since been scaled down. While there might be some damage to buildings, it doesn't look like there has been any serious injuries yet or loss of life.
It is still early to tell though. The earthquake could be felt in Malaysia and Singapore according to CNN.
Update: CNN has reported that 13 people have died in the quake.
very sad news, hope all are safe.

The Rt Rev Dr Peter Forster
Anger at plant threat claim
ANGRY union officials have demanded a meeting with General Motors chiefs after a senior executive described Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port plant as 'vulnerable'.
Transport and General Workers leaders hit out at comments made by Carl-Peter Forster, chairman of General Motors Europe, about the future of the North Road plant.
Meanwhile, borough MP Andrew Miller has raised his fears over the matter with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Department for Trade & Industry.
At last week's Detroit Motor Show, Mr Forster had said five plants - including the Port - were bidding to make a mid-sized Astra model, but only four were needed.
He added: 'Future models have to be earned.
'Although Ellesmere Port has improved a lot in recent years and the quality level is OK, its labour costs have increased.'
He agreed the Port car manufacturing plant, which employs more than 3,300 people, was 'vulnerable'.
But he was criticised by Mick Whitley, deputy regional secretary of the TGWU, who said: 'Mr Forster's comments were most unhelpful. They do nothing for the workforce and shatter their confidence. It makes people think 'what's the point of working here?'
'But, on the other side of the coin, we won't give up on wages and conditions.
'We will raise this matter with the senior executives of GM, because saying things like this is not on.'
Mr Whitley said the Port plant had seen a lot of improvements recently, including a new press shop, so there was plenty to be proud of.
John Fetherston, TGWU convener in the Port, said: 'We reckon we're up there with the forerunners. Progress we have made over the past few years is phenomenal.'
Mr Miller said: 'This matter has been raised at the highest levels of the Government because we must do everything we can to ensure the Port plant gets that new Astra contract.
'I've already discussed it with the DTI ministers and spoken to the Chancellor about what we can do.'
Vauxhall spokesman David Crundwell said: 'The current Astra is proving to be extremely successful in the market-place.
'This is supported by Ellesmere Port having a record-breaking year in 2005, building more than they've ever built before.
'The progress we have made in Europe in terms of product and cost has been the result of our management team, employee representatives and the entire workforce across Europe pulling together to make GM ever more competitive in a tough market.'
The new Astra will be allocated to its production sites by the end of 2007.
Mr Crundwell said: 'We have nothing to announce about any decision on this. It's too early to speculate.'


L'Occitane releases a limited edition product every year for Women's Day and 100% of the precedes go to financing finance NGO projects for women's leadership in Burkina Faso. L'Occitane's relationship with the women of Burkina Faso goes back over thirty years and the connection is Shea butter. For the women of this region, harvesting Shea is more than just a job - a special, symbolic tradition to pick the nuts off the Karite tree and churn them into the paste-like butter.
This year its the Rose scented Limited Eition Shea Butter Ultra Soft Balm ($6; usa.loccitane.com), a fabulous multi purpose product with a gorgeous scent. I've been on a rose kick lately and this, along with the Laura Mercier Infusion de Rose Lip Balm have both been among my most used rose based products in rotation. There are plenty of uses for this little tin and some ways I like to use it are as a cuticle balm, to tame flyways, as a lip balm and spot treating dry spots, to name a few. Its a slightly waxy balm that melts when warmed up in between fingers and sinks in nicely without feeling too greasy. Its an all purpose balm that's priced really well and can be tossed into your handbag too. I absolutely love L'Occitane's commitment each year to raise money and these little tins come packaged beautifully as well. I'd definitely be picking up another tin or two at the store.

Morning Glory Restaurant & Food Delivery in Hoi An
Authentic Central Coast Cuisine
Established in 2006, Morning Glory Original & Food Delivery in Hoi An was Ms Vy's third Restaurant in Hoi An. Following the success of Mermaid and Cargo Club, Ms Vy wanted to create a venue where visitors could not only enjoy a gourmet Vietnamese dining experience, but could also see local Hoi An food specialities made first-hand in the open kitchen. The menu features many of her favourite Central Vietnamese dishes, and while some are regarded as street food, they have been elevated to suit a more refined dining experience. Added to this are many of the more popular dishes from the North and South, all authentically recreated using the freshest and most delicious produces from the local markets.
The concept at Morning Glory Restaurant is to offer our guests the opportunity to experience traditional Vietnamese dining culture. The atmosphere at Morning is typical of Vietnamese restaurants – the vibrant hustle and bustle adding to the whole dining experience. Even the name 'Morning Glory' comes from the most common and popular vegetable side dish served with almost every Vietnamese family meal – a dish enjoyed by city slickers and country bumpkins alike.
Morning Glory Restaurant has become the 'not-to-be-missed' dining experience for most visitors to Hoi An and to avoid disappointment, we recommend booking in advance.
Authentic Hoi An Street Food
Specialities and family recipes
The Morning Glory Cooking School and Restaurant opened its doors in 2006. As Ms Vy's third hospitality establishment, Morning Glory restaurant was the cumulative result of Ms Vy's passion and vision to create a venue where visitors could not only enjoy a gourmet Vietnamese dining experience, but could also see local Hoi An food specialities made first-hand in the open kitchen. Located just across the street from Cargo Club on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Morning Glory has become the 'not-to-be-missed' dining experience for most visitors to Hoi An.
The restaurant and cooking school takes its name from the morning glory vegetable which, after rice, is the most commonly eaten food in Vietnam. One of the more appealing aspects of this edible plant is its resilience. It can grow in any kind of climate and from soil, mud or waterways. Its durable and flexible nature makes it symbolic in the eyes of Ms Vy, who views it as a representation of the Vietnamese character. It can survive, even thrive, in the harshest of conditions; growing into a beautiful green vegetable with a white star flower.
Central Vietnamese classics and gourmet dishes served in stylish surroundings
Popular Cooking School and Classes
Over the years, Ms Vy's reputation as one of the country's premier teaching chefs has grown and the Morning Glory Cooking School and Restaurant has flourished, although in 2013 the cooking classes were relocated to Ms Vy's Market Restaurant & Cooking School on nearby An Hoi Islet. To this day, the restaurant provides the most comprehensive and authentic menu of Hoi An street food specialties, home remedies and family recipes from Ms Vy. The Morning Glory menu and cooking class have been an inspiration to many visitors to Vietnam.

OSHA will exercise discretion in enforcement of COVID-19 safety
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has directed its compliance officers to consider the good faith efforts of employers who are unable to fully comply with federal safety requirements to conduct audits, reviews, training, or assessments due to COVID-19 (coronavirus). The agency provides several examples. In situations where you as an employer are unable to conduct annual training due to travel restrictions on the trainers, OSHA will look at whether you considered alternatives such as providing remote training. The agency will also consider any interim protective measures you put in place and whether you reschedule the training as soon as reasonably possible once it's available again. Another example is the need to delay OSHA-required medical evaluations such as spirometry tests (to measure lung capacity) and audiometric tests (to measure hearing loss), due to recommendations against non-essential medical exams which put people in close proximity to each other. The agency will take into account your efforts to protect workers and to reschedule the tests when it's appropriate to do so. OSHA's enforcement memo took effect upon its publication on April 16, 2020, and will remain in effect until the current public health crisis abates.
Tips For Employers: We previously reported that OSHA had relaxed fit-testing protocols for respirators. OSHA's enforcement memo shows that it's taking a similar approach for audits, reviews, training, and assessments. OSHA has direct safety enforcement responsibilities in Idaho and Montana. In states such as Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington, which have their own state safety and health agencies, it will be up to the state agencies to decide whether to exercise a similar level of flexibility in enforcement. We anticipate they'll do so, in recognition of the practical difficulties of compliance in the current environment. If you have any questions about how to address safety compliance issues in light of COVID-19, contact your Vigilant safety professional.

On Friday, I spoke about the way work is changing at The Milk Bar in Glasgow. It was the second time this year that I've done a talk that was #upfront (the first being with Niamh Nic Daeid at the Dundee Design Festival back in May).
By now you've probably seen me tweeting about #upfront and talking about it on Facebook, but what is it about?
#upfront is an initiative by Scottish designer and social agitator Lauren Currie. Its purpose is to make stages more diverse. It does this by giving people, who wouldn't find themselves on stage for a range of reasons, an opportunity to experience what it feels like to be on stage without the pressure of performing. You can read more about that journey here.
On Friday I was joined on stage by Nicky and Nikki. Both of them work in communication roles and would like to be able to speak in public however neither have much experience and feel anxious at the prospect of speaking to a room full of people.
Lauren and her team at #upfront co-ordinated things beforehand and communicated with all of us to make sure we were briefed and prepared. On the day, Nicky, Nikki and I met beforehand and talked about why we were all there. I remember saying to Nicky that I still feel nervous every time that I speak in public – I think that the day that feeling isn't there is a day to be worried.
Before I knew it, my time was up and we handed over the stage to the next speaker. Speaking to Nicky & Nikki afterward, they said that they'd both enjoyed the experience and that it had given them confidence and courage to give public speaking a try themselves. Mission accomplished!
So if you're reading this, and you're someone who regularly speaks in public, would you be up for sharing your stage and your power? And of course, if you are someone who would like to be #upfront and experience the stage without the pressure you can sign up to be notified when there is an #upfront opportunity in your area.
The Permanent Secretary of the Scottish Government will be #upfront in Edinburgh next week and last month speakers at Service Design Hong Kong shared their stage. This is an easy and simple way to take action against inequality.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The defense kept the Indianapolis Colts in the game Sunday against Tampa Bay by forcing four turnovers. But when it mattered most, the defense was also the reason the Colts lost to the Buccaneers and blew a chance to move up in the AFC playoff race.
The Colts' defense gave up a season-high 542 yards and more importantly, gave up the final 17 points of the game in their 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

The loss further hurt the Colts' already-slim chances to make the playoffs because while Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was picking apart the defense through the air, Denver was nearly 1,000 miles away in Houston beating the Texans. Winston threw for 456 yards and four touchdowns to go with three interceptions.
The defeat keeps the Colts two games behind the Texans for first place in the division and on the outside looking in on the final AFC playoff spot.
The Colts (6-7) have been in a tailspin, losing five of their past six games, including three straight.
This is the second straight week in which the Colts were on the wrong end of scoring streaks in the second half. Tennessee closed the Week 13 game by scoring the final 17 points in its victory in Indianapolis.
The Colts have themselves to blame when it comes to blown scoring chances, as running back Nyheim Hines fumbled in Tampa territory and new kicker Chase McLaughlin missed a 47-yard field goal that would have extended their lead in the fourth quarter.

Buy: Despite missing the kick, McLaughlin was nearly perfect while handling that role for the injured Adam Vinatieri. McLaughlin, claimed off waivers last week once it was revealed that Vinatieri was dealing with a knee injury, was 5-for-6 on kicks, making two field goals and all three extra points. His lone blemish was missing a 47-yard field goal that hit the right upright when the Colts were clinging to a four-point lead. There's no guarantee that Vinatieri, the NFL's all-time leading scorer, will return this season, so this period could be looked at as an audition for McLaughlin. Vinatieri will be 47 years old Dec. 28, so the odds of him returning next season aren't good, especially considering he has missed 14 kicks this season. The Colts are the third team that McLaughlin has played for this season. The rookie has also been with the Chargers and 49ers.
Silver lining: Colts linebacker Darius Leonard had two interceptions, returning one for an 80-yard touchdown. The touchdown off the interception ended a streak of 38 straight games without a defensive touchdown for the Colts. That streak had tied the Cleveland Browns for the longest in the NFL. Leonard is the only player in the NFL with five forced fumbles and five interceptions since the start of last season.

The following is a step-by-step procedure of installing R, RStudio and RHadoop over a Cloudera hadoop system. OS is CentOS 6.5.
R starts. This file is picked up by R, as soon as it starts.
and issue the following three commands in the shell, one after another.

Complete Steps, worked seamlessly. Please see the details if you are playing around with rhadoop.
Hi, I am a noob to hadoop. I followed the steps but got the following error on issuing the command hdfs.init() Please suggest.
ERROR security.UserGroupInformation: Unable to find JAAS classes:com.sun.security.auth.UnixPrincipal not found in gnu.gcj.above ?
1. install a native JDK (not the one comes with cloudera manager). I installed "jdk-7u51-linux-x64.rpm" directly.
Hi guys, have anyone fixed the error above?
In Step#3, I required "caTools" also to be installed . I have R version 3.2.0 .Also, you need to set up HADOOP_CMD if you are installing from R command.
Question: what nodes do I have to install R + RHadoop packages in an Hadoop cluster? All data nodes?
I had installed on only one data-node. But it will have to be installed on all data-nodes.
Do R packages need to be installed on all servers (Datanodes) that are part of the cluster ?
Or just install on one node and copy the libraries across all nodes ?
After following the instructions above I've been received the issue below.
Please! How I can solve it?
Having the exact same problem as you Johne. Curious to see how to resolve it. Based on what I've read, it has something to do with mismatching Java versions during compile and runtime (though I've little clue what that means).
Same problem and still trying to solve it! any clue?
in order to update the java version to compile rJava to these provided with your Cloudera (in my case Cloudera VM 5.7.0 in CentOS 6.7).
Anyone else getting this error when starting R?
I am sure that I have not given my path correctly for HADOOP_CMD. How do we find the path for HADOOP_CMD? I use Cloudera VM, should I install stand alone HADOOP for integrating HADOOP with R ?
While installing the R in Cloudera quick start 5.8 .
Time out error and this mirror not found errors are coming.

Depressive and anxiety symptoms as risk factors for temporomandibular joint pain: a prospective cohort study in the general population.
Kindler S1, Samietz S, Houshmand M, Grabe HJ, Bernhardt O, Biffar R, Kocher T, Meyer G, Völzke H, Metelmann HR, Schwahn C.
Previous studies have associated depression and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs). The temporality, however, remains to be clarified. Most patient studies have selected subjects from treatment facilities, whereas in epidemiological studies a clinical examination has not been performed. In this study the 5-year follow-up data of the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) were analyzed. To estimate the effect of symptoms of depression and those of anxiety on the risk of TMD pain, the Composite International Diagnostic-Screener (CID-S) and a clinical functional examination with palpation of the temporomandibular joint and the masticatory muscles were used. After exclusion of subjects having joint pain at baseline, a sample of 3,006 Caucasian participants with a mean age of 49 years resulted. Of those, 122 participants had signs of TMD joint pain upon palpation. Subjects with symptoms of depression had an increased risk of TMD joint pain upon palpation (rate ratio: 2.1; 95% confidence interval: 1.5-3.0; P < .001). Anxiety symptoms were associated with joint and with muscle pain. The diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of TMD pain should also consider symptoms of depression and those of anxiety, and appropriate therapies if necessary.
Depressive and anxiety symptoms should be considered as risk factors for TMD pain. Depressive symptoms are specific for joint pain whereas anxiety symptoms are specific for muscle pain, findings that deserve detailed examination. These findings may support decision-making in treating TMD.


I had a possibility to play around with this platform throughout a 7 day trial, and I was REALLY pleased!
Although this post is not indicated to be a "Builderall vs. Clickfunnels" death match, I do wish to provide you a contrast of what each has to offer for the rate.

WABE Is Launching A Pop-Up Podcast And 'Political Breakfast' Is Now Weekly
Maegan Smith • Jan 14, 2020
WABE is launching Gold Dome Scramble, a new pop-up podcast from "Political Breakfast" that brings the state legislature to the people.
"Many people want clarity about how the legislative process works," says "Morning Edition" host Lisa Rayam, who will also host "Gold Dome Scramble." "We're making this podcast so our metro Atlanta community can understand everything that's happening at the Georgia State Capitol (often referred to as the Gold Dome) from beginning to end.
Throughout the 2020 legislative session, Rayam will talk with reporters from the WABE newsroom to break things down for our listeners — the issues being considered, and the bills getting sorted through various committees. They'll lay out the context and explain what comes next. Episodes will be clear, concise and short — with each lasting less than 15 minutes.
You can listen to "Gold Dome Scramble" by subscribing to "Political Breakfast" wherever you get your podcasts.
"This is a practical look at the big issues," says "Gold Dome Scramble" producer and WABE senior editor Susanna Capeluoto. "We examine the pressure points of a given issue, and what's ahead in terms of it passing through the legislature."
Capelouto says the podcast will focus on the issues, not on how state politicians are posturing.
"It's not in the weeds, and you don't have to follow Georgia politics every day to enjoy this," she said. "You'll have fun while you're learning about state government."
Every state sets its legislative calendar, with some state governments meeting throughout the year and others meeting every other year. Georgia follows a calendar similar to about 30 other states with an annual, relatively short session starting on the second Monday in January and lasting 40 workdays.
In addition to the Monday episodes of "Gold Dome Scramble," WABE political contributor Denis O'Hayer will continue to host new episodes of "Political Breakfast" on Friday mornings. His spirited and friendly conversations with political strategists Brian Robinson and Tharon Johnson will now be a weekly podcast, rather than bi-weekly.
Don't miss WABE's "Gold Dome Scramble," and remember:
Episodes are released every Monday morning, starting Jan. 13, for the duration of Georgia's legislative session.
A shorter broadcast version of "Gold Dome Scramble" can be heard each Monday during "Morning Edition" at 7:45 and 9:45 a.m. on WABE 90.1 FM.
Find it in the "Political Breakfast" podcast feed on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Expect to hear conversations about teacher pay raises, gang crackdowns, casino gambling, gun rights, religious freedom, adoption reform, and more.
Hosted by WABE "Morning Edition" host Lisa Rayam.
Featuring WABE's statehouse reporters Emma Hurt and Emil Moffatt, healthcare reporter Sam Whitehead, education reporter Martha Dalton, and many others from the WABE newsroom.
"Gold Dome Scramble" is informative, fun and concise!
We know that 2020 is going to be a big year, and WABE is committed to keeping you informed with the facts and clarity that you rely on.

President Biden lays out US digital currency strategy
By / March 10, 2022 March 10, 2022
BIDEN: Executive order requires the US Treasury to assess the benefits and risks of a digital dollar
US President Joe Biden has signed an executive order (EO) "outlining the first ever, whole-of-government approach to addressing the risks and harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying policy" including the possible issuance of a US central bank digital currency (CBDC), the White House says.
The EO places "urgency on research and development of a potential United States CBDC, should issuance be deemed in the national interest" and "directs the US Government to assess the technological infrastructure and capacity needs for a potential US CBDC in a manner that protects Americans' interests".
More specifically, it requires the US Secretary of the Treasury to present a report "within 180 days" that includes an analysis of the potential implications of issuing a digital dollar on economic growth and stability, financial inclusion, national security and law enforcement issues, as well as of the potential relationship between a CBDC and private-sector digital money and "the extent to which foreign CBDCs could displace existing currencies and alter the payment system".
The EO also "encourages the Federal Reserve to continue its research, development, and assessment efforts for a US CBDC, including development of a plan for broader US Government action in support of their work. This effort prioritizes US participation in multi-country experimentation, and ensures US leadership internationally to promote CBDC development that is consistent with US priorities and democratic values."
Wide-ranging implications
"The implications of potentially issuing a digital dollar are profound. They're extremely wide-ranging," a senior administration official told a White House press call.
"So this EO pulls together the expertise from across the US government. It also pulls in expert views and perspectives from a range of stakeholders in the country.
"This is all about the future of the payments system in this country, the future of credit creation, commercial banking.
"We know the implications for national security, our ability to show leadership in setting global payment standards for privacy and security, but also reinforcing the efficacy of sanctions or potentially influencing the growth of private cryptocurrencies that we know are growing to a material scale and, in some cases, have facilitated illicit finance and financial stability.
"All of these issues are tied up in the question of whether to issue a digital currency and, if so, how to do so in a way that advances our strategic objectives.
"So this is a way to organize ourselves with urgency so that we have a coherent and coordinated view on digital assets and that it's articulated at the very highest level of our government."
The US Federal Reserve published a study examining the potential benefits and risks of issuing a CBDC and launched a public consultation on the possible issuance of a digital dollar in January.

St Michael's Pier
On 14 April 1969 a new drive-on/drive-off car ferry terminal, capable of handling 650 cars a day, was officially opened at Dun Laoghaire's St Michael's Wharf by Mr Jim Gibbons, Parliamentary Secretary to Ireland's Minister for Finance.
Built in three years at a cost of IR£850,000 it replaced a temporary terminal at the East Pier, which had been in use since British Rail introduced its first dedicated car ferry service to Ireland in 1965.
The principal feature of the terminal was a pier 575ft long and 70ft wide. A 300ft long three-level passenger building on the pier was capable of accommodating 600 passengers, and its roof was open to the public as a viewing platform, with a snack bar.
The other main building was a vehicle customs hall, which also housed the various administrative offices. A second snack bar was provided there, principally for passengers in outgoing cars. Car loading ramps were sited on each side of the pier and while that enabled two vessels to berth simultaneously, the main purpose was to permit a vessel to lie on the more sheltered side of the pier.
The first ship to use the new pier was the Holyhead Ferry 1 which arrived with 110 cars and 458 passengers. The vessel left for Holyhead again a couple of hours later with 150 cars and several hundred passengers.
The new terminal was to suffer from numerous drawbacks, not least of all the fact that it was designed and built around the Holyhead Ferry 1 with the result that eight years later St Michael's Pier was virtually redundant following the arrival of the St Columba. Only the occasional freight ship and summer sailing with a smaller relief vessel now used the pier.
Between 1981 and 1987 there were no regular services from the terminal, however in March 1987 the freight vessel Stena Sailer sailed into the port and made the west berth her home for the next four years. The following year saw the opening of a service from Liverpool with the Earl Williamusing the east berth - the pier and its terminal was back in business!
1991 saw the arrival of the Stena Cambria onto the run. As her roster saw two Stena ferries in port together some modifications where made to the berth to allow her to use the pier bow-in. A large yokohama fender was placed on the seaward end of the pier to push the stern away from the berth and therefore push the bow in to meet the shore ramp. A new passenger gangway platform was also provided from the building itself.
By the time the fast ferry Stena Sea Lynx arrived in 1993, and with it a significant refurbishment to the terminal's waiting areas and foot passenger subway under the vehicle compound, the terminal's days were numbered. To accommodate the new Stena HSS a major new terminal was planned, construction of which commenced in 1994. Today, only the east berth of the old St Michael's Pier remains adjacent to the massive HSS linkspan.

Indiana Jones, but in reverse - The National Newspaper
Another profile of Zahi Hawass. Not much new here, but Matt Bradley mentions, as has already been reported by an Australian paper, that
Buoyed by his recent successes, Mr Hawass has called for an international conference next March for countries who are seeking the return of ancient objects. Greece, Italy, China and Mexico will be among about 12 nations he expects to attend.
This sounds a lot like the first real step towards the creation of an antiquities cartel, a strategy that Richard Leventhal has suggested would enable countries of origin to pool their bargaining power to extract more from wealthy collecting nations. The only question is whether the bargaining will remain, as it has, on the plane of restitution and loan agreements, which in themselves do nothing to address the problem of contemporary looting and other threats to heritage, or whether countries of origin will take the opportunity to press collecting institutions to materially assist in anti-looting initiatives. Museums could, for example, be told that no country will agree to loans unless the museums first persuade their donors to contribute voluntarily (or their governments to contribute via dedicated taxes on sales of antiquities) to an international fund. One already exists, established by UNESCO several years ago, but it has failed to attract any donations.
The key is to move beyond restitution to the real issue, which is what can be done to protect archaeological sites.

BS - College of Arts and Science
I am Interested in This Major
Statistics is a modern science concerned with making decisions and inferences from empirical data subject to random variability and error. It deals with designing experiments, sample surveys, summarizing numerical information, building and analyzing statistical models, prediction and choosing between alternate actions. Statistics can tell us how much safer it is to fly than drive, the odds of winning the lottery, our life expectancy and who is likely to win the next election. The BS in Statistics allows students to pursue either a traditional track or an applied track. Students who are interested in graduate study are strongly encouraged to follow the traditional track. All students are encouraged to supplement their work in statistics with courses from areas such as economics, biology, accounting, finance, marketing, management, psychology, sociology, engineering, agriculture and atmospheric science. Students pursuing the BS degree may elect to take an alternative to a foreign language. Because of its importance as a scientific method, the demand for trained statisticians has grown in education, medicine, government, business and industry as well as in the biological, social and physical sciences. Students are trained to meet this demand and develop careers in teaching and research.
