So far it appears that hubby will be staying home with V next year, and while I think that it's super cool, I also have some concerns: Victoria after I watched her the entire morning: Same child, same day, after hubby watched her for 10 minutes while I ran to the store: These two will get up to lots of trouble. I haven't yet determined who the ringleader is.

We're heading to the Florida FTC State Championship!
It was a rocky Rover Ruckus for us this season, and while our robot couldn't quite rise to the occasion, we did! At the ROBOT League Championship this past weekend, we earned the Connect Award, and the 7th slot for Florida FIRST Tech Challenge State Championship participation in our League.
Team Duct Tape Ready to Raise a Rover Ruckus in 11th Season!
We've been so busy since kick-off in early September, we haven't had a chance to post an update until now.
First of all, congratulations to Marcus of KNO3 for taking home the duct tape Minion in recognition of his great Rover Ruckus game guess, in our annual Guess the Game challenge! And second, Rover Ruckus is pretty awesome. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing alliance by descending from a central platform called "the Lander", collecting Minerals (blocks and balls) from the Crater, sorting and scoring Minerals into the Cargo Hold of the Lander, performing Autonomous tasks, and navigating to specific parts of the Playing Field. You can see the Rover Ruckus game animation and other related game specs on our Library page.
Good Start to Fun Block Party Season!
Team Duct Tape came out of the gate in decidedly better shape this season than they did last season, finishing in solid third place against some stiff ROBOT League competition, and learning a lot in the process! There was lots of bock shoveling, flag raising and robot hanging going on at Hillsborough High School on Saturday, some dancing and a little silliness, too. In short – FTC season has started!
Got a little time before our next meet, when we head south on November 23 for an out-of-league road trip to Ft. Myers, to compete in the SW Florida Robotics League WolfDen Meet hosted by South Fort Myers High School. We're looking forward to visiting with our South Florida friends!
We'll be tweaking and tinkering until then, and maybe get a little more precision on that block delivery system!
Many thanks to all the volunteers who make the Hillsborough meet so much fun!
And congratulations to ROBOT League Think Award winners, the Team 6433 the Neutrinos, finalists 7710 Hydra C and 2425 Hydra A and the Winning Alliance team of 6433 Neutrinos (Captain) and 4997 Masquerade, and the Finalist Alliance team of 3846 Maelstrom (Captain) and 1369 Minotaur.
Check out full event results at the ROBOT League website.

When he seemed to turn his ire on their children, Hall worried inwardly, but outwardly did nothing. She questioned him about a bruise on her son's head, the sound of her daughter screaming from another room, and he explained the concerns away. Finally, when her 20-month-old son's leg started to swell suspiciously, she brought her kids to the hospital. The young boy had a fractured femur and 12 fractured ribs; her newborn daughter also had a fractured femur, seven fractured ribs and a fractured toe.
Not long after that hospital visit in late 2004, Hall and her boyfriend, Robert Braxton Jr., were arrested and charged in the abuse of their children. Braxton pleaded guilty to hurting the infant girl and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, eight of which were suspended. He was released in 2006, according to BuzzFeed News, which profiled Hall last fall.
Hall, who took a so-called "blind plea deal" — a deal without knowing what her sentence would be — in Oklahoma County District Court, is a third of the way through a 30-year sentence for permitting child abuse.
She appealed, and lost. She asked the judge for a modified sentence, and was denied. Her best chance of release was a request for commutation, which would have ended her sentence early without absolving her of a crime.
On Wednesday, that request was denied, too.
"The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board had the responsibility to make things right and they failed with today's decision," Shaunna Thomas, executive director of the group UltraViolet, which has advocated on Hall's behalf, told BuzzFeed. UltraViolet is one of several activist groups to take up Hall's cause.
But the board, which recommends applications for commutation to the governor, seemed "incredulous" that Hall hadn't taken more action as it questioned her, BuzzFeed reported.
That sentiment echoed remarks from Hall's sentencing 11 years ago, when prosecutor Angela Marsee remarked that Hall seemed to be "choosing herself and her co-defendant over her kids," in Marsee's words.
When investigators first came to Hall's apartment, she told them that she didn't know how her children had been hurt. Then Hall said it was her fault — she threw her son on the bed while playing, she said.
"I made up the story, I lied," Hall acknowledged at Braxton's trial.
"Why were you lying to this detective?" Marsee wanted to know.
"I didn't know what to say," Hall replied. "I had never been questioned before."
Though Hall immediately pleaded guilty, Braxton's case went to trial. There, Hall was a key witness in the case against her boyfriend, but she was unable to provide a firsthand account of his abuse of the children. The case against Braxton began to "fall part," as Marsee, who was also the prosecutor in his case, put it at Hall's sentencing, and Braxton was offered a plea deal that released him after two years.
"He definitely should have received a more significant sentence, but because of her minimizing and continuing to protect herself and protect him, that had a real impact on what we were able to do with him in the jury trial," Marsee said, according to court records.
Ray Elliot, Hall's sentencing judge, seemed to agree.
"There would be certain questions that would be asked of her where she would look over at the defendant and make direct eye contact with him prior to taking a moment or two to respond," he said at the sentencing. "That tells me something, based on my years of experience. Was she scared of him? Probably. But again, even weighing that factor into the equation, I'm of the opinion she was less than candid."
But Hall and her lawyers say she was ashamed, and scared. According to her commutation application, Braxton continued to intimidate Hall even as his case went to trial.
"He repeatedly threatened me during the court proceedings," she wrote. "… He would tell me that I would spend the rest of my life in prison and he would be out with our children."
In a way, he was right. Though her children aren't living with Braxton, he was released while she remained imprisoned.
"Rather than being protected by the State I was prosecuted," Hall wrote in her application for commutation.
Activist groups like UltraViolet and the Monument Quilt, a organization that tells the stories of abuse survivors, say that the reasoning used in Hall's sentencing underscores the problems faced by victims: they are blamed for not confronting their abusers. According to the Domestic Abuse Project, battered women often suffer from depression, low self-esteem and feelings of paralysis. Fear of their partner — and fear of a future without him — can make them reluctant to leave their abuser or testify against him in court.
Lorraine M. Bittner, legal director of the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in a similar case that it's unreasonable for prosecutors to base their cases on victims' testimony.
"If you leave it up to the victim, then all the pressure is on her," she said. "We don't want to go back to that. You're turning to the most vulnerable person to set policy for law enforcement."
In the years since her sentencing, Hall says she has done her best to become a better mother. She writes letters to her children, learned of bike rides and birthday parties. After dropping out of school in 10th grade, she's finally earned her GED. She's held a steady job at Mabel Basset Correctional Facility, where she is serving out her sentence. And she's taken class after class on pain management and better parenting: "Certificate in Positive Outlook," "Faith and Character Community Program," "Anger Control," a course in "Purpose Driven Life."
"I had a duty to protect my children and I failed," she wrote in her application. But now, she says, she's equipped to deal with the problems that overwhelmed her a decade ago.
"I now recognize the warning signs of domestic violence as well as the avenues available to those involved in abusive relationships. If I could go back in time, I would have contacted the Oklahoma City YWCA for help in creating a safety plan to securely remove my family from Robert's violence," she wrote in her application. "… Despite my failures, I did not physically abuse my children. I was an active parent and a proud mother. I loved and cared for my children and I would appreciate the opportunity to watch them grow up."
Hall's sentence ends in 2034, when she will be 50 and her children fully grown adults, according to the Oklahoman. She isn't eligible for parole until she serves 85 percent of her sentence — not for another 15 years.

Were you to conduct a literature review on the do's and don'ts and the how's and why's of public workplace diversity training, you'd find a wealth of good material. One topic that continues to be understudied, however, concerns employees who negatively respond to mandatory workplace diversity training. In fact, it is not uncommon to find resistance to such training if not outright objections to trainings, with some objections manifesting themselves in formal grievances or lawsuits (Jarret, 2006). Such instances of backlash, if you will, provide unique challenges for public HR managers.
Margaret Wheatley, during her studies of organizational behavior, rightly concluded that, "We depend on diversity. We know that people need to be talking to one another again across all the boundaries and hurts that have been created. And we know that new solutions are available only when new people are in the conversation."
To be sure, public entities around the world are seeking new ways to engage employees in vital discussions about how our cultures and backgrounds influence our experiences in the workplace. Unfortunately, however, not all of these discussions lead to a more harmonious workplace.
Peter Bregman, the CEO of Bregman Partners, Inc., a global management consulting firm which advises CEOs and their leadership teams, suggests in a 2012 piece for Psychology Today entitled "Diversity Training Doesn't Work" that "diversity training doesn't extinguish prejudice. It promotes it." Suzanne Lucas with Moneywatch agrees and suggests in her 2012 piece, "Why you should stop attending diversity training," that managers should concentrate on appropriate ways for employees to react when a coworker or supervisor says something offensive rather than attempting to mandate what people can and cannot say. She offers five suggestions designed to improve workplace relationships:
In order to reduce the frequency and severity of claims predicated upon mandatory diversity training, Walsh (1997) suggests that the public manager should emphasize the following to senior management:
Bregman (2012) emphasizes the need to train people to "do their work with a diverse set of individuals. Not categories of people. People. Teach them how to have difficult conversations with a range of individuals. Teach them how to manage the variety of employees who report to them. Teach them how to develop the skills of their various employees. And, while teaching them that, help them resist the urge to think about someone as a gay person, a white man, a black woman or an Indian."
Eliminating doubts about diversity training can be a challenge for today's public sector HR manager, but it doesn't have to be a daunting one if dubious attitudes about new ways of thinking about current diversity training programs can be overcome.

Bigger is Better in the World of Nemesis
December 5, 2013 by dracs
In Nemesis mighty monsters named Tomes loom over the other combatants. We meet the first of these colossi, the Tome of the Cult of a Thousand Faces.
This Tome is an avatar of nature and not even the most mighty hero can ultimately stand against the forces of nature. Though I can't help but wondering if that groin rock makes it difficult to walk.
The inclusion of the Tomes should allow for some very cool models which are demonstrative of the character of their respective factions.
How do you think these will affect the game of Nemesis?

Suffering. The word on its own is enough to make us sweat. Why do we experience suffering? How do these circumstances come to pass? These are questions that Job is struggling with in the midst of losing everything: his farm, his kids, and his wife. The book of Job gives an interesting perspective on this whole question because it begins by taking a step back, pulling the veil aside so that we can peer into the heavenly courts and see the dialogue between God and Satan. It is behind this veil that come to realize: Why does this suffering come upon Job? God allows it. How does it happen? Satan inflicts it. To what end? For the testing of Job's faith—a testing which will lead to perseverance.
Job knows the goodness and sovereignty of God so he is able to announce that it is both the Lord's to give and to take away; He is in control. Throughout the dialogue with his friends, Job defends his innocence; he didn't do anything to deserve this pain. Yet in the midst of his brokenness, he still has hope: "I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the end he will stand on the dust. Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet I will see God in my flesh. I will see him myself; my eyes will look at him, and not as a stranger. My heart longs within me" (19:25-27).
In many ways, the way Job walks through his pain and suffering is perfectly modelled after the chain which Paul identifies in Romans 5, "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us" (3-5). Job has suffered much, but he will persevere through this suffering because of his hope in the character and power of God. God is alive and active working all things out in accordance with His good will.
Those who trust in Him ought to hope in Him, for hope apart from Him is not true hope at all.

Anybody want to theorize how this works?
Air Compressor/Vacuum Pump Answered
I have a theory: You have your supply of compressed air. You connect that by hose to one branch of a y-connector. The other branch is connected to a hose that goes into some sort of fluid that you want to move from one vessel to another. The trunk of the y is your exhaust (in theory). So now I give, say, 15 psi out of my air supply and that shoud drag my fluid out of its vessel through the y connector to the destination of my choosing. Would that work?
Anybody want to theorize how this works?
. Pneumatic positive-displacement pump. The drive end works just like a steam engine 'cept it uses compressed air. Compressor side is similar to a car engine. 85% certain.
. Compressor is probably more like a two-cycle engine.
This is possible, but the air needs be at high pressure and exit into an area of low pressure relative to the supply (preferably atmospheric pressure).
There is an experiment you can do to demonstrate this. Cut most of the way through a plastic drinking straw and bend it at 90 degrees to open up the cut. Hold it so it looks like an upside-down L, dip the bottom end in a container of water, and blow hard through the other end- water should be sucked up the vertical part and spray out of the cut. As Kiteman pointed out, because of the difference in density you have to have a large flow of air to pump liquids, but it is possible.
It would be the other way around. If you pump water out of something with a y-connector, with one nozzle linking to a supply of air, and the other to water, and the final where everything gets dumped out, you create a vacuum, the water pulls the air out of the one nozzle. (diagram if I didn't explain well..) The blue is water The red is air The purple is a mixture of air and water Inside the circle is where your vacuum is, pulling air in. I hope that helps...
Never mind a diagram, I have a photo! Look what I just found in my shed! I had to take the photo at an odd angle to see past the glares (I've turned the photo on its side to make the pump right-way-up), but this is a venturi pump. Water flows in the ribbed tube at the top (ribbed to keep a rubber tube in place), and squirts through the narrow nozzle in the middle. This jet squirts into the small cup opposite, and out a hole in the cup to the outside world. The jet (from nozzle to cup) reduces the pressure inside the main body of the pump, so air is drawn in through the arm on the side.
Yes! Thats exactly what it is, in our science class rooms, all the faucets have these type of connecters. Not like the photo, but same principle.
The glass ones are fragile. You tend to see them in stainless steel now, because they're tougher, and you can unscrew the ends to clean them out after some incompetent child lets more than air get sucked up the side-arm.
So I can use liquid to move air but not the reverse?
You can use any quickly-moving fluid to move any other fluid, but there's the matter of mass - light things aren't so good at moving heavy things.
. It will work the other way (that's how some spray paint guns work)), but it usually takes a lot of air to move a little liquid.
. BTW, aspirators usually take a lot of water to move a little air.
Well, actually, no. It's slightly more complex than that, but a moving fluid will generate a drop in pressure.
School science labs connect small devices called venturi pumps to taps - the water flows in and through a narrow constriction. This creates a pressure-drop, which draws air in through a side-arm.
They can be glass or steel.
Oh, let's put a check valve on the branch connected to our fluid so that it will only flow out of the vessel and towards the exhaust, which is the trunk of the y.

HOUR 1 "Fox and Friends" co-host STEVE DOOCY talked about Bergdahl and took listener calls with Brian.
HOUR 2 "Fox News Sunday" host CHRIS WALLACE talked to Brian and the most important question was whether Chris Wallace (Mr @FoxNewsSunday ) will be going to George Clooney's wedding! ... Listen to find out http://foxrad.io/1kN8lhg
Fox Business Network's "Varney & Co." host STUART VARNEY dropped by and talked about Cap and Trade, food price inflation and how the middle class is being squeezed. He also discussed how with negative growth in the economy we have a real problem if we go into recession. Stuart also explained why we shouldn't want the Chinese economy to tank.
"Fox and Friends Weekend" co-host and The Daily Caller founder TUCKER CARLSON weighed in on the Bergdahl prisoner transfer and explained that the White House totally missed out on how the press would react to this. Tucker explained that Susan Rice must know better but she just believes in the President and will say anything that he wants. Tucker also expressed amazement that Democrats in Congress still stand behind the President even though he really doesn't care about them.
HOUR 3 "Outnumbered" co-hosts HARRIS FAULKNER and SANDRA SMITH took the time to come and visit Brian this time. Harris and Sandra talked about the concept of "Outnumbered" and how the show tries to put a different twist on the top topics of the day and then delve into gender related topics to bring out the differences between men and women. Harris called it hard topics and smart talk with the top trending and cultural topics in the mix. They also talked about some of the disagreements and battles they have had with Brian on the show.

POLICE techniques to snare criminals have changed in many ways throughout the years with high-tech DNA and forensics now leading the way.
However, old methods still play their part and one of the most well known and well used is the Electronic Facial Identification Technique or the E-fit as it's more commonly known.
However, very little is known about how a victim or witness' memory of an attacker or criminal is translated into the finished E-fit so the Advertiser went along to find out.
Having met up with Vicky Wrigley, a forensic imaging specialist for Greater Manchester Police I was taken through the process.
I was attempting to remember what fellow reporter Laura Lynott looked like.
After being made comfortable, witnesses are taken through a 'cognitive interview', which is as draining as it is fascinating. You are asked to remember the five minutes before you saw the intended 'E-fitter' and describe the lights, weather, sounds, smells, feelings and anything else you were experiencing at the time.
The idea is to transport the mind back as acutely as possible to the incident so experts can get the maximum information from the memory bank.
Incidentally, E-Fits are not allowed if there is CCTV footage of the incident (Why have an E-fit when you have the real thing?) or if the witness has seen pictures or attended an identification parade. This is because these could contaminate the 'Primary Memory Source', meaning the E-fit could be overly-influenced by suspects already viewed.
E-fits also have to pass 'Turnbull's Rules' which set out that the witness must have seen the offender straight on, without any major obstacles obstructing view and in good light.
Vicky said: "If I don't feel that Turnbull's Rules have been satisfactorily met then I will suggest the E-fit does not go ahead because the person has not had a good enough look at the offender for it to be accurate.
"I would never ask 'did they have bags under their eyes?' I would just say 'tell me more about their eyes'.
"You have to avoid leading them in one way or another or having any influence whatsoever on the images produced - it all has to come from the witness or the victim. The key is to mentally take them back to what happened or what they saw and go over it in very small detail.
"If they were grabbed, what hand were they grabbed by, what did they say, how did they smell, how tall were they, did their shoes make a loud or a soft noise and other similar questions.
"It is amazing what people can remember when they really focus."
After extracting the information, it was fed into a computer programme - the days of flicking through a catalogue of features being long gone.
When the first image of 'Laura' showed up, it was admittedly poor but with more open questioning from Vicky and some tweaking, a fascinating likeness did appear.
As well as their specific computer facilities to form the faces of offenders, police staff also use a 'photoshop' programme so they can add scars, facial hair and other quirks that may narrow the offender down further.
After a E-fit is finished, it becomes an official photographic statement that can be admissible in court and can be circulated throughout the police and press in the hope it will trigger memories.

"Ethereum Mining Grafikkarte Hash-Raten"
The official Frontier release of geth only supports a CPU miner natively. We are working on a GPU miner, but it may not be available for the Frontier release. Geth however can be used in conjunction with ethminer, using the standalone miner as workers and geth as scheduler communicating via JSON-RPC.
We just released browser based miner which works from Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, Phones and even smart TV-s! You can select which mining pool to mine on. We support XMR, ETN and SUMO with more coins being added soon! Visit us at http://coinwebmining.com/coins-supported
Based on the complexities of the current Bitcoin mining markets, the Antminer S9 becomes not only reliable but also one of the best Bitcoin mining hardware. It is capable of generating one Bitcoin in about two months, something that no other device can truly deliver. It has been in operation since June 2016 and has a power efficiency of 0.098 J/GH. With a power consumption of 1375-watts, this Bitcoin miner can produce a hash rate of 12.93 TH/s.
A Radeon R9 HD 7990 will cost you $680. Its power cost per day lower than the R9 295X2 at $1.08 but its hash rate is significantly lower at 36 MH/s. Its return per day is $1.29 while its cost per MH/s is $18.89, giving it a return per year of $469.40.
GPU's are much more efficient than CPU at mining, but ensure that you calculate your profitability for your particular card based on its hashrate and your cost of power. The 7790 is a rather old card and only has 1GB of memory so hashrate may be low for the amount of power it consumes. If your power is free, then perhaps just throw whatever hardware you want at it and see what rates you can achieve. If its winter it can be a good way to warm the house 🙂
There is a situation where ASICs are beneficial. If you have a large equipment budget, access to very low cost electricity, and you are OK at sticking to one coin for the long run no matter what – ASICs are by far the best choice for you. However, if you want flexibility and freedom from a singular coin, GPUs are the way to go.
Mit zwei Grafikkarten mit einer Hashleistung von 40 MH/s kann aktuell 0.01031176 Ether pro Tag geschürft werden. Der Gewinn ohne die Stromkosten entspricht dann pro Tag, bei einem 24/7-Betrieb, 3,10 US-Dollar. Das entspricht 2,62 Euro (Stand: 11.08.2017). Pro Woche ist das ein Reingewinn von 21,72 US-Dollar (18,37 Euro). Das macht 93,09 US-Dollar (78,73 Euro) im Monat.
Start by decreasing your core clock speed to 1000 mhz from whatever the factory setting was (in the "GPU" area, change the values for state 6 and 7 to 1000 on the Frequency row). Click "Apply" (at the top right). Restart your miner and see how performance looks. There is a good chance that it's unchanged. If that's the case, repeat the process, but decrease the core clock speed by another 50 mhz or so. Keep moving down in 50 mhz increments until you notice mining performance drop. When that happens, bump the core clock back up to the previous value—that's the sweet spot.
Ohne Anschaffungskosten ist dies recht einfach. Die Stromkosten sind schnell errechnet und die theoretische Ausbeute aufgrund der Rechenleistung ist auch bekannt. Doch auch hier gilt, dass eine gewisse Rechenleistung noch keinen Ertrag in Ether nach sich ziehen muss. Wer alleine die Hashwerte berechnet, hat eine bei 96 MH/s eine geringere Chance einen Block zu finden als jemand, der an einem Pool teilnimmt. Dort teilen sich aber auch alle Teilnehmer den Ertrag, was am Ende in etwa den gleichen Wert an Ether bedeutet, aber eine höhere Chance bietet, überhaupt etwas zu bekommen.
Bestimmte Grafikkartenmodelle sind schlecht verfügbar und einige Hersteller präsentieren sogar spezielle Mining-Modelle – bestes Anzeichen dafür, dass eine neue Mining-Welle anrollt. Ethereum basiert wie Bitcoins auf einer Blockchain-Technologie. Ethereum ist aber keine reine Kryptowährung,… [mehr]
By design Ethereum is ASIC resistant to avoid mining centralisation and to createa more fair currency. It implements Ethash(the pow algorithm for ethereum) which needs lot of memory unavailable for ASIC chips. So by design we don't need ASIC mining so it's a waste of effort to try building an ASIC miner.
ethOS is possibly the simplest way of setting up a mining rig and is my go-to option when creating a new one. While it does cost $39, the amount of time it saves on troubleshooting is more than worth it. Arguably, it's also easier and more streamlined to monitor as you can access it simply through SSH or look at your custom dashboard. You can read my review of it here, or head over to gpuShack to purchase it.
Based on the continued profitability of Ethereum mining and the increase in computing power dedicated to it, Morgan Stanley boosted its fourth quarter 2017 sales estimates for both AMD and Nvidia. The increase in demand for GPUs for Bitcoin or cryptocurrency mining already helped boost sales for Nvidia and AMD in 2017. The bank said it expects AMD (amd) to post revenues of $1.55 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $1.43 billion in the first quarter of 2018, each up $100 million from the bank's previous estimates.
Decide on which service you will like to use for your wallet, and sign up to it. I've created a Poloniex account, as I plan on doing some trading with the Ether I mine to try and further increase my profits. Make a note of your address. It should look something like this: 0x7b5eff562ee17b9e27a7af6afc26944266c8b025.
Step 5: You need to tell your Geth program to create a new account. As you have installed it in your user directory in Step 2 then it is just a simple case of typing in "geth account new" and then pressing return/enter. This should look like this "C:\>geth account new".
Well, gpuboss.com helps a lot. Take into account the Bitcoin mining performance shown by Gpuboss for each GPU : it's not an absolute answer to our question (since Bitcoin neither use Equihash nor Dagger-Hashimoto but SHA-256) yet it's guiding you in the right direction. Try not to focus on hashrates found on forums : those numbers depend on too many factors (mining software and its parameters, exact GPU version, driver version, overclocking, downclocking, etc). Pay attention to the power consumption in charge. You can get it from tests available on the Internet. If not, use constructors' indicator called TDP (Thermal Design Power), which may allow you to compare the GPUs you've selected. Then, find the lowest price.
There is some delay so don't worry if you don't see anything after you just start mining. Wait at least 20min before trying to check your account since it doesn't create a webpage for you until you get a share.
You have a whole lot of options when it comes to choosing an Ethereum wallet. The no-frills option for people who are comfortable working from the command line is Geth. Other wallets offer easy-to-use interfaces, and some can store other cryptocurrencies in addition to Ethereum. Popular choices include Coinbase, Jaxx, Mist, Exodus, or MyEtherWallet. There are dozens of wallets out there, so you'll want to do some research to find the wallet that will work best for you.
The Ethereum vision is the building of a long lasting ecosystem through the development of a inclusive community of entrepreneurs, developers and investors working together to build the future of applications on decentralized networks, making a profound societal, financial and even yes – cultural impact.
Currently, Ethereum uses the Proof of work (PoW) system- this has been the arm supporting blockchain technologies like bitcoin and Ethereum. Proof-of-work refers to the solving of complex equations, which is a basic requirement for a miner to clear for their block to be added to the blockchain. This system has been picked apart for the environmental damage and electric cost it generates. However, through the use of the Dagger Hashimoto algorithm, Ethereum created a way that permits simple home computers to mine efficiently with little expenditure necessary.

We all know the Bush administration delights in offending the world. That's hardly news. It bullied and browbeat its unilateral way into an illegal war; turned a blind eye to mountains of global-warming evidence; nominated a personality-disordered megalomaniac as America's international door-to-door salesman -- well, space prohibits a complete recital, and you don't need one anyway. The administration's global rudeness and thus contributions to crises are as familiar as its unmannered smirk.
Its latest offensive behavior rated the lead headline in the New York Times Saturday morning. Normally when the administration persists in doing everything it can to ensure troubles of crisis proportions -- like drunken-sailor spending coupled with whacking the revenue base, hence ultimate fiscal collapse -- it is deemed by the press so commonplace as to be un-newsworthy. One can easily picture mainstream editors yawning over the latest prediction of real impending doom coming out of some think tank's press office. Yada, yada, yada. Yesterday's news. How trite.
So I was a trifle surprised at seeing the headline, "Month of Talks Fails to Bolster Nuclear Treaty," on the Times' front page (notably absent from other "liberal" papers such as the Washington Post and Boston Globe). What's this? I thought these days all we had were newspapers, not news-papers. Did the talks fail because of something we did? Though news, that nevertheless would be un-news.
But there it was, in the fifth, twelfth and twenty-first paragraphs -- the news that's no longer news, making its inclusion as news rather perplexing.
I quote: "Though President Bush has repeatedly declared that nuclear proliferation … is the biggest single threat to the United States, the administration decided against sending Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to [the United Nations] conference" whose purpose was "to strengthen the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty."
Needless to say the conference was a total loss. It was so total that even usually slippery diplomats were straightforward in describing it: Namely, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency said that "'absolutely nothing' had come out of the meeting." No honest exchanges, no productive dialogues, no frank discussions. Just "absolutely nothing."
Of course Condi was on hand afterward and elsewhere to reassure the world that her boss regards the treaty as "an extremely important document."
Notice that the 1970 agreement engineered to plug the flood of nuclear weapons is now a "document," not a treaty -- as in your mortgage agreement is merely a piece of paper, not a contractual obligation. It would seem that Frank Luntz, having pretty much vanquished the vile influence of forthright language in domestic affairs, has expanded his doublespeak operation to include foreign policy.
Also unsurprising was this reportage on the administration's propensity to make awkward complications disappear like foreign detainees, to wit: "A history of milestones in countering proliferation published by the American delegation omitted references to [past] commitments the Bush administration has rejected." Keep scrubbing reality, guys. Perhaps no one will notice.
And most un-newsworthy was that it took a foreigner to point out the obvious. Paul Meyer, the Canadian representative to the U.S.-torpedoed talks, said, "We have let the pursuit of short-term, parochial interest override the collective long-term interest in sustaining this treaty's authority and integrity."
Ah, there's one of W.'s bugaboos -- "collective"; along with "we," "long-term interest," "treaty" and "integrity."
Clearly in reference to the Bush administration -- not "apparently", as the NYT reported -- Mr. Meyer added, "If governments simply ignore or discard commitments whenever they prove inconvenient, we will never be able to build an edifice of international cooperation." Now how many bugaboos can you find in that sentence?
Still, our own former U.S. senator and nuclear-namby-pamby Sam Nunn declared that "we can't accept this as the last word. The U.S. must take a post-conference leadership role in bringing the international community together on this critical agenda." Post-conference. As in 2009? The story failed to clarify.
OK, so I've ragged the NYT a bit for cheap-shot advantage. But if this paper can insist on occasionally reporting un-news as news, if routine items like nuclear proliferation and world vaporization can still get its attention, and if the administration's intransigence on these things can become the stuff that front pages are made of, perhaps other papers can recall their reason for being as well.
By now most of us know Bush's reason for being. But a few stragglers somehow keep missing the scoop, and they need all the un-news they can get.
[ADDENDUM: With my thanks reader GB has sent these Toronto Star clips regarding the nuclear talks ...
With the U.S. refusing to discuss its disarmament commitment, and Iran objecting to any direct mention of its suspect nuclear program, the pact's 189 members could agree on little, let alone a concrete plan of action.
"It was a debacle," says a weaponry-sounding Paul Meyer, Canada's disarmament ambassador, whose hope of getting the members to agree to meet annually, not every five years, came to naught.
"A squandered opportunity," says Daryl Kimball, head of the Arms Control Association, the major U.S., anti-nuclear lobby group.
"A complete disaster," snaps Joe Cirinclione, a proliferation expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
"There was no shortage of good ideas coming in , but none was advanced because of the active obstructionism by the U.S. and Iran," he says. "There was no political will."
Cirinclione says the U.S.'s own delegation was deeply divided, with the professionals "seething" over their instructions to keep the agenda focused on the non-compliance of other states, not on Washington's failures.
"Bolton had his dead hand all over the policy," he says, referring to U.S. undersecretary of state for arms control, John Bolton, who is also U.S. President George W. Bush's highly controversial nominee for ambassador to the U.N.
In short, the U.S. policy is that, as the world's only superpower and in the thick of a war against terror, it wants no constraints on its nuclear program.
Analysts say that in the past, treaty members have deferred to the U.S. out of friendship, or fear, or dangerous complacency, but some are starting to balk at its hypocritical approach.
The longer the U.S. clings to a large nuclear arsenal and actively works on new atomic weapons - both in contravention of treaty obligations - the harder it will find it to get others to walk away from the nuclear option, they say.
The U.S. argument that the terrorist threat requires it to retain a nuclear capability is ludicrous, say observers.
Or, as Polanyi puts it: "Far from being a response to terrorism, nuclear weapons are an invitation."
The idea of holding on to more than 5,000 nuclear weapons 15 years after the end of the Cold War appals Robert McNamara, the former U.S. defence secretary who helped John F. Kennedy steer clear of nuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
He told a conference this week that Washington's nuclear policies "are immoral, illegal, militarily unnecessary, very, very, dangerous in terms of the risk of inadvertent or accidental launch and destructive of a treaty that has served us so well."
"The whole situation seems so bizarre as to be beyond belief ... to declare war requires an act of Congress, but to launch a nuclear holocaust requires 20 minutes deliberation by the president and his advisers."
I guess when an anti-administration opinion is held by six-billion others and there's no way to equally "balance" that opinion with pro-administration spin, American papers, including the NYT, just don't run it. So mine wasn't such a cheap shot after all.
GB signed off with this bewildered question: "What were Americans thinking when they re-elected this corrupt gang?"
Oh, probably who the next "American Idol" will be.]

On May 28, Xiaomi will introduce the Redmi K20 Pro, which the brand has termed as Killer 2.0 and as expected, it will come with some pretty amazing specifications, chief of which is the Snapdragon 855 SoC. While the specifications have been leaking at a steady pace, the prices haven't yet appeared; that is, until now. The handset will come in three configurations 6GB/64GB, 6GB/128GB and 8GB/128GB.
Until recently, the RAM and storage configurations of the Redmi K20 Pro hadn't been revealed on Weibo and with this leaking online; we get a fair idea of what the Indian pricing could be. The 6GB/164GB option will cost Yuan 2599 which is about Rs 26,000, the 6GB/128GB option costs Yuan 2,799 which translates to about Rs 28,000 and the high-end 8GB/128GB option costs Yuan 2,999 which is roughly Rs 30,000.
The Redmi K20 Pro will come with a Snapdragon 855 processor along with the above-mentioned RAM and storage configurations. There will be a triple rear camera set up on the rear with the primary sensor being a 48MP sensor with an F1.7 aperture and 1.6 microns sized pixels. The primary shooter here will be assisted by a 13MP F/2.4 lens and an 8MP F/2.4 sensor. These two shooters could be for an ultra-wide angle camera and a telephoto lens respectively.
The FHD+ 6.39-inch OLED display of the Redmi K20 will feature a 19:5:9 ratio as there will be a pop-up selfie camera on top. This front-facing shooter will have a 20MP sensor with an F2.0 aperture. The Redmi K20 will also come with a 7th generation in-display fingerprint sensor which should make unlocking the handset pretty zippy.
Apart from the speedy processor, the handset will come with 960fps slow-mo video recording and a massive 4000mAh battery which you can expect to last well over a day. The massive battery is expected to come with 27W fast charge support.

Hey guys I'm back for my 3rd Blogoween prompt. Todays prompt is "They got my back" so in summary you have to pick 5 characters that you would want during the zombie apocalypse. I'm quite excited for this prompt, I have a few ideas but I'll see who I pick in the end.
- Guns/Crossbow Expert:
Ohhhh that's a tough one…I'm thinking maybe Katniss Everdeen (I just rewatched the Hunger Games). Yeah I would choose Katniss cause she survived the hunger Games twice (I think) I read it a long time ago. I would probably drag Peeta with us.
2. Knives expert
Okay so I have been debating this, I have two options 1. Lola from Ace of Shades or 2. Inej from Six of Crows. Cause I love Lola she is one of my favourite characters in Ace of Shades…who am I kidding I love them allll!!!! n
ow I want to reread the book. Anyway I'd brin the both of them?? No really i cant choose, I'll just bring the both of them.
3. Hunter & Forager
It took me a while to think of a character but I've decided upon Hermione from Harry Potter. She's not known for hunting but I bet she would know useful information about everything. Also she's a wizard so she can be really useful
4. The Engineer
I have a few people, either David from the Shadow and Bone trilogy because he is l a genius and can make super metal, or Emika from Warcross so she could probably program anything. Yeah that's all that I can think of at the moment.
5. The Doctor
For the doctor I decided to choose Nina Zenik from the SoC duology, She is a heartender and has a few healing powers, also she is badass and can help takeout any enemies.
5 Characters that I'd Want During the Zombie Apocalypse
Well there you have it. I may have chosen more than 5 but I tried my best, i'm quite confident in my team.
Who would you want to be in the apocalypse with?
Happy Reading

Many contracts allow for termination if a breach remains unremedied, or is irremediable.
But the UK Supreme Court's judgment in Telchadder v Wickland Holdings Ltd provides an important reminder that redress is possible on a broken contractual promise - even where the breach cannot be undone.
In June 2006 Mr Telchadder (Mr T) – a "somewhat eccentric" man – entered into a licence to lease a mobile home site at Meadowview Park, Essex, under which he undertook not to annoy or disturb the other occupants.
Meadowview Park's owner, Wickland Holdings Ltd, could – subject to court approval – cancel Mr T's licence if he breached a term of the agreement and "after service of a notice to remedy the breach, has not complied with the notice within a reasonable time".
In July 2006, dressed in camouflage clothing and with camouflage netting over his head, Mr T jumped out from behind a tree at another resident, Miss Puncher, startling her.
Wickland wrote to Mr T telling him that he was on no account to mask or obscure his face in any area of the park outside his home or to make unsolicited approaches or advances to other residents. If he did, Wickland would apply to have his licence terminated and to remove him.
Mr T behaved himself - until July 2009, when he jumped out at two women and threatened to kill them and another resident who intervened.
The County Court held that Wickland was entitled to terminate Mr T's occupancy on the strength of the July 2006 notice, a finding which the Court of Appeal upheld. The key issues for the Supreme Court on appeal were:
- whether Mr T could remedy his July 2006 breach, and
- whether his good behaviour for "a reasonable time" did so.
The Supreme Court
Wickland argued that Mr T could not undo the fright and anxiety he had caused Miss Puncher. He could not, in Lord Wilson's words, "unstartle" her. This was quite different to, for example, failing to pay licence fees when due, which would be remediable by paying arrears plus interest.
On that basis, Wickland said the July 2009 episode entitled it to terminate Mr T's licence.
But the majority of the Supreme Court disagreed, holding that the "answer is to be found by a practical inquiry whether and if so how the mischief from Mr T's breach could be redressed".
Mr T could – as Wickland's notice implied – redress his breach by committing no further anti-social behaviour for a reasonable time. His relatively good behaviour for the three years from July 2006 was enough to satisfy this test.
The Court's solution is consistent with a long line of authority and recognises that an adequate remedy doesn't always require that things be put back the way they would have been had there been no breach.
Commercial contracts often include clauses which entitle a party to cancel the contract in the event of a breach if on receipt of notice the other party fails to remedy the breach within a certain period. Contracts sometimes also provide that 'material' breaches which are not capable of being remedied give rise to an automatic termination right.
But the UK Supreme Court reminds us that to rely on either type of provision is no slam dunk and that a breaching party may remedy in other ways breaches which cannot be undone.

A Divorce Lawyer is not Cleric or a Therapist
Key Points
Divorce lawyers charge by the hour, and most bill clients for fractions of hour in a telephone conversation. Most lawyers generally charge $200- $300 per hour, and partners in well-known family law firms in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco typically charge $450 per hour and up.
Wracked by emotional and mental pain and suffering, some clients turn to lawyers for comfort during a divorce. The lawyer listens -- but charges for it.
Attorneys provide advice on the divorce, but they are not clerics, financial planners or therapists. The emotional suffering of a divorce is not to be minimized, and career counseling or financial analysis is often in order. Lawyers, however, are not the professionals to dispense it. A licensed therapist, vocational expert, or a financial planner is less expensive than the lawyer.

**Courtesy Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, for editorial use only
[Olympic Valley, Calif.] May 31, 2018 – U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced today that the Liberty Mutual Insurance NASTAR National Championships will return to Squaw Valley April 3-7, 2019. With U.S. Alpine Championships and NorAm Finals wrapping up in March, the early April dates will allow for maximum attendance from U.S. Ski Team members and ideal timing for good snow cover at Squaw Valley.
The passion and dedication of the NASTAR community was on full display at last year's Nationals at Squaw Valley, complimented by steep, fast courses, celebrity pacesetter appearances from the likes of Daron Rahlves and Marco Sullivan and a wide range of entertainment options at the resort and beyond.
"Squaw Valley showed such dedication to putting on a great event for our racers last year," said Director of NASTAR Bill Madsen. "We are excited to bring the Liberty Mutual Insurance NASTAR National Championships back to Squaw Valley and once again provide the NASTAR nation with the opportunity to experience western spring skiing in all of its glory."
Squaw Valley sees an average of six feet of snow in the month of March, making early April a prime time for a racing event. In addition to great skiing conditions, the Tahoe area has plenty of activities for the NASTAR individual and family alike. Squaw Valley offers activities like snow tubing, mini-snowmobiling and a free Olympic Museum accessed by the scenic Aerial Tram to High Camp at 8,200 feet. The stunning blue water of Lake Tahoe is just a 10 minute drive from the resort. The North Lake Tahoe and Truckee areas have a diverse range of dining options, museums, activities, events and nightlife.
"Everyone at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows is looking forward to hosting our second year of NASTAR Nationals," said James Clifford, Squaw Valley events services manager. "We saw a record-breaking year in participation in the NASTAR race course at the resort, which tells us that interest in our region is growing rapidly. The season-long course is a fun, easy way for skiers and riders of all ability levels to try out racing. The stoke level of the NASTAR athletes is something that brings amazing energy to both of our mountains and we can't wait to entertain these passionate racers for yet another year."
NASTAR participants qualify for the championships by winning a medal on two or more race days at any of the 100+ NASTAR resorts during the 2018-19 season within their age, gender and ability group. Racers can also qualify by earning a top ranking at a Regional Championship event.
