HAY. Hella Jongerius' Danskina | DisegnoDaily. Dutch designer Hella Jongerius is a strong example of this strand of design, particularly given her presence at this year's Salone Del Mobile. Jongerius' Berlin-based Jongeriuslab studio has been much celebrated for its craft-influenced industrial design since its foundation in the 1990s, yet Jongerius' influence is rapidly extending beyond her own practice. At this year's Salone she will present projects for Vitra, Artek and Danskina – all brands that she provides art direction for. The role of an art director* is a complicated one.
While art directors typically contribute their own work to the brands they serve, they are also managerial figures. In the case of Jongerius, this transition from designer to art director is most fascinating in the case of Danskina, a Dutch rug manufacturer that was founded in 1973 but which had fallen from public attention in recent years.

The work of Los Angeles bases, Lisa Williamson. She was part of Made in L.A. at the Hammer Museum last year. Working in several different mediums—sculpture, painting, drawing, video, and publications—Lisa Williamson (b. 1977 Champaign-Urbana, Illinois) creates works that are conceptually dense yet embrace a minimal and refined visual language as well as a lighthearted humor. Trafficking in the potential for abstract forms to conjure recognizable everyday objects, from architectural details to the human body, her works are placed in precise relationship to one another to suggest a setting where actions have occurred.
Her use of language—in her cleverly ambiguous titles and in the writings that she occasionally publishes—and the diagrams visualized within her drawings serve to animate the sculptures. For Made in L.A., Williamson has created a new group of objects that respond to the location of the Vault Gallery at the midpoint of the exhibition. Louise Zhang. MARCHANDISE STORE.

You're Tsuchiya Ruka, who at first glance seems nothing more than an arrogant, self-assured prick who seems hell-bent on doing only what makes you happy. The truth is, though, you're only interested in helping those you love. You're exceedingly self-sacrificing, often pushing yourself to your limits (sometimes endangering your health) in order to try to help others. Unfortunately, no one ever sees what you're really trying to do until it's too late.

Here is a gift I gave to Jon on the day our daughter, Jael Sofia, was born (exactly one week ago). It is my prayer for him as a new father. Forgive the poor quality of recording. Because I created the track in secret, I couldn't utilize his help in recording and mixing. This was the best I could do on my laptop 🙂 I hope you're encouraged by the poem, especially if you are a father.
Track Used: "3055" by Ólafur Arnalds
A Prayer for Papa
To: Jon
Love: Quina
As the temple was a copy
and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary,
and we see now in a mirror dimly
what will in Heaven be fully known,
so my prayer for you, Papa,
is that in your newfound ministry
the Father's heart for you will beat
all the more clearly,
your heart an echo of His own.
When you see your firstborn's face
and in your heart exclaim,
"This is the most beautiful thing
I've ever made!"
may you be taken back to the sixth day
when God breathed life and delighted
in they who bore His image
and represented His name.
When you hear her first say
with eyes locked on your face, "Papa!"
May you remember that day
you were first changed, adopted
crying out that first time, "Abba, Father!"
When you cheer her on as
she takes her first steps
right into your arms,
may you be overcome with gladness that
the Father is pleased with the faith
you place in Him, in fact
He's rejoicing every time you return,
delighted with each believing step.
When you think of all the ways
you want to express
your love for her
in small ways and big,
may you consider the Father's
heart to give
good gifts to His children,
goodwill is yours in Him.
And when she tests your limits
and rebels in her sin,
may you be empowered
to lovingly discipline and to forgive
again and again,
being so fully convinced
the Father knows your own weak frame,
and yet shows compassion
His grace abounding every time
much more than your sin.
A father's heart is a shadow
but the substance is God.
Your commitment just a drop
from His ocean of love.
My prayer for you is
to swim in that sea,
exploring its depths
as you cherish our seed.

Contrary to what some people think, the first step in buying a home is NOT finding a realtor or picking out a house. Before you do anything, your first step should always be meeting with a mortgage lender.
Watch the video below to learn why, what you'll need, and what the process of beginning a home search looks like.

Pizza isn't just a dinner option in our family, it's a food category unto itself. Pizza is SO important, it was actually mentioned in our Best Man's speech at our wedding reception. Handyman Tim is serious about his pizza. When we were first dating a lifetime ago, I remember him gleefully taking me to Giordano's Pizzeria in Chicago. He couldn't wait to share traditional Chicago style pizza with me.
Fast forward 20 some years later. . . to last summer's Epic Road Trip. After 3 long weeks on the road, we were on our very last stop before home. What did we find right across from our hotel??! A Giordano's! Tim nearly flipped his wig. We were super excited to be able to share his beloved pizza with the kids.
But things happen. Mistakes get made. We were heartbroken to have a horrible experience with our particular server that evening. Our pizza never came.
I've made it my habit to leave reviews over on Trip Advisor after we've been traveling. There have only been two times I've ever left a negative review. Sadly, Giordano's earned it for that evening.
BUT! You can imagine my surprise when the manager of Digital Marketing and Customer Relations reached out to me when he saw my review. He was disturbed by our experience and wanted to make things right for us. That gesture alone was enough to restore my feelings of goodwill towards Tim's beloved restaurant. I worked as a server myself and remember making some doozy of mistakes. I understand a restaurant can't be completely judged by one not so great experience.
I responded to his kind email with my thanks and told him we live down in Charlotte, hours away from the location where we tried to dine that evening.
Y'all. They SHIPPED us some pizza!
I had no idea that Giordano's had a pizza delivery service on their web site! You can order classic Chicago style pizza and they will ship it on dry ice to your home. Baking it in your oven is easy peasy and comes with very clear instructions. No special tools or equipment needed.
It was like Christmas Morning for Tim. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, we baked up a pepperoni pizza and he finally got to share that moment with the girls. Little Pea took one look and went running (picky eater!) but the Peanut dug right in with her fork. We couldn't stop laughing at all that gooey cheese oozing everywhere.
This could be a seriously dangerous discovery for us. I have the easiest Father's Day gift, anniversary surprise, or romantic "just because" idea ever. We're coming up on 5 happy years here in the Carolinas but there is just nothing like a yummy taste of home.
If you want a taste of Chicago, you can snag your own Giordano's pizza, you can order them here. They come in packs of 2, 4, or 6 in pepperoni, sausage, spinach, or cheese.

With all this hot weather around at the moment, anything to do with the words cool or freeze sounds good to me! But seriously, this Fat Freezing technology came to our attention a few years ago when we heard about the great results it was getting; then again last year when medical technology company Cryomed released the Clatuu, based on the ground breaking Fat Freezing contouring method. It's recently come back into my radar because after the Christmas/ New Year festive period I've definitely noticed some extra bulge around my usual FATTY deposit areas and I want to GET RID OF IT!
So, as with anything I even consider doing for myself when it comes to beauty treatments, I research it thoroughly. Before I had the treatment myself I asked around and as it turns out, a friend of my work colleague has actually had the Clatuu treatment, so I phoned her. This is what she had to say:
"I've never had any sort of treatment beyond the odd massage or old school facial. But after having my kid, I had more fat around my belly that made me self conscious, especially living so close to the beach where I'd spend hours in my swimmers with my son and his friend's mums and I wondered if there was something I could do about it. So I stumbled upon this fat freezing thing when I was visiting a friend in Brisbane. I've had two Clatuu treatments already and I'm booked in for a third. You have no idea how impressed I am. Already I can see my belly having a much better shape. It's not full blown surgery – but I don't think I needed that. It's just giving me my shape back."
Whilst our friend wants to remain anonymous – she doesn't want her friends to know she's had any sort of help with her hot looking bod – she had impressed me enough so that I booked in for my own Clatuu Fat Freezing treatment to deal with my love handles on my back! Well, that was it, and I'm now hooked. I was super impressed with the ease of the treatment and the immediate results. But get this… the results improve with time. And I'm booked in again for next month. I'm so excited. Knowing it can help, along with this boring old diet I'm on, to get my pre-festive body back, I'm stoked! I wanted to share it with you too!
Clatuu says it help us with the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Upper back
- Lower back
- Inner arms
- Other areas where difficult, stubborn bulges reside
Apparently it can reduce a fatty area by up to 25%. That's a quarter of the fat in that area taken away. I'm definitely in! If any of you have had the treatment or run out and have it like I am, make sure you let me know! I'm completely sold on the idea of freezing my fat away, and because of the non-invasive nature of the treatment I really believe it might just be the next treatment to be found in beauty salons all over the country?!

Reading Is Worship 5: Identifying Weirdness-Idolatry
These columns will be written in honor of, but also as a loving and respectful corrective to, spec-story readers who feel alienated by Christian fiction, aspiring authors who are frustrated by publishers' skepticism, and recently, ACFW conference attendees who were disallowed from entering an awards banquet while wearing sci-fi-and-fantasy costumes.
Brothers and sisters: it's not about you. Or us. Or the genre. Or, especially, Being Weird.
In April I dealt with the "I love weird stories because they're weird" notion more as a petty annoyance. My view was pragmatic. I said: This doesn't help to promote the genre. But the worst problem is not that this motive doesn't work. Worse, it distracts from true worship.
I keep seeing the Weirdness notion rear its ugly head. I see it in myself, and am ready to call it for what it is: an idol. Reading Is Worship, as this series says, and that worship can only be of two things: God, or a ridiculous replacement that is not God. "Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin," the Apostle Paul writes with Spirit-inspired authority in Romans 14:23. We can read or write in ways that don't come from Biblical faith, making idols out of good things like experience, The Cause of Christian speculative fiction, or writing itself.
But this latest idol to roll off the human heart's assembly line may be the worst of the lot.
First I ask: what do the following attitudes prevalent in Christian cultures have in common?
- Cultural "fundamentalists" who measure people's hemlines or condemn enjoyment of fiction, movies, contemporary music, or television, to be Different from Culture.
- Christian "patriarchalists" who insist that the chief end of man is to have as many children as possible (a "full quiver") and train them to Take Back Our Nation.
- Religious fiction publishers who offer clean, moral fiction as a solution that reacts against secular publishers' perceived obsessions with swearing, sex, and violence.
- Speculative story readers or writers who enjoy and promote niche genres such as fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, or anything in between, mainly as reaction against no. 3.
Answer: every one of these is based on reactively beating bad guys, not proactively glorifying our God. Each approach seeks to be "different" or "weird" for no other goal than to look good or seem spiritual, or as real or imagined confrontation of a Majority Culture.
Each is a revolting idol, perhaps worse than other idols because they sound so spiritual.
Idol identified: enjoying "weirdness" for its own sake
Do you love stories mainly because they're "weird"? If so, you may believe things like:
- "In the morning I get up and want stories You Probably Haven't Heard Of. Part of me also wants to 'stick it' to stories that 'normal' people enjoy. You can have your modern dramatic fiction without magical worlds, and straight-up histories instead of alternate-history steampunk craziness! Give me weird any day! The weirder, the better!"
- "Christian fiction today is just too safe! I want stories that Push All The Limits."
- (After being asked what you're reading:) "Oh, [speculative novel name], by [name of author]." (Later, silently to yourself:) "You probably haven't heard of it."
I recognize these lines (adapted from this) from my own redeemed yet sin-struggling heart. But this week I also saw some of them even more glaringly, in response to a dustup at this year's American Christian Fiction Writers conference in Dallas. According to John Otte:
I can confirm that some spec fic writers were temporarily turned away from the [Saturday fiction awards] banquet (I was an eye witness). Here's what happened:
Four spec fic writers dressed up for the banquet. The tamest outfit was a little black dress with a dragonscale choker and special nail/claw things (I'm sure there's a technical term for it, but there you go). Another wore a suit but built a cybernetic arm overlay. A third wore funky contacts and werewolf gloves.
The fourth, though, was really awesome. My roommate dressed up as Failstate, the titular character from my book. He faithfully replicated the entire costume, down to the face-obscuring mask. When I saw what he came up with, I was so tickled and humbled that someone would do that as a surprise for me.
Once we were ready, we went down to the banquet and were able to take a few pictures. The others joined us but before we could enter, hotel security stopped "Failstate" and told him that they had gotten some calls about his costume. He showed his badge and they seemed (mostly) satisfied. "Failstate" went into the banquet and was almost immediately pounced on by the conference director and told that he couldn't enter dressed like that and that he had to go and change into "Sunday best or better" if he wanted to get back in. She then insisted that the cyborg remove his arm and the werewolf remove his gloves (again, hotel security was cited as the motivating factor).
Some reactions to this incident are contagious. On Monday when I heard of it, I also felt like taking up arms. I thought: Those bonnets-obsessed persons are persecuting us again; this is just plain silly; what's wrong with a Renaissance dress or a Star Trek uniform?
Unfortunately, that's not the only angle here. Having attended at least one ACFW banquet, I can confirm that the rules, written or unwritten, lean toward formal wear, not cosplay. The online program for this year's conference specifically stated:
ACFW Annual Awards Gala Dress Code = Sunday best-to-formal
Thus, the issue is not conference organizers who object to acceptable dress for the event. Rather, the issue is likely people who didn't know the rules, or did and chose to make fudge of them.
Should the banquet mission or standards change? If so, that's another question. What's at issue now is those who likely Pushed the Limits. And I must ask: what were the motives? To have fun? To support the genre? That's great and understandable, but the primary questions are:
- Did this action "proceed from faith" (Romans 14:23) to glorify God?
- Did it show love to other conference attendees, who were either brothers/sisters in Christ, fellow "characters" in God's true-life Novel, or potential nonbelievers — all of whom, either way, needed to see us show love and respect for God and for others?
- Do our responses to the dustup show desires to make peace or to pick fights?
- Does the desire to "cosplay" at a conference and/or its banquet reflect the truth that speculative stories are normal, and that it's no-speculation-allowed contemporary stories that are newer and "weird"? Or do they reinforce others' stereotypes?
- Shouldn't we who love speculative stories be "all things to all people" (1 Cor. 9:22) to win them to Christ, or even to what we believe are more God-glorifying stories?
Of course, I wasn't there. That's partly why I'm offering these challenges, which are a mixture of hypothetical and rhetorical. Those serve as ways to diagnose the threat that this "weird" complex is not only inaccurate, unloving, and self-defeating, but the result of idolatry. Next week, with your input, I hope to explore ways we can cure the ill of weirdness-worship.
I think this discussion is one that could to be easy to let get out of hand, so I want to be careful what I say…
In discussing it with some others who WERE there that same evening (I wasn't there either, although I do hope to be at future conferences):
1) there has been a blurring of the rules on cosplay: costumes have been acceptable attire at the banquet for a while, especially if they come equipped with full skirts supported with a quantity of full petticoats, or a bonnet and mutton sleeves.
The Star Trek contingent at this years' conference also was left alone and had no idea until later that there had been a problem. Randy Ingermanson in his Victorian tophat and pinstriped pants was permitted entry, along with a friend dressed in the feminine version of a dress kilt and plaid.
2) In years previous, other notables have appeared at the banquet in costumes other than bonnets and full petticoats, Jeff Gerke among them–someone mentioned that he has attended in the past wearing a full suit of armor? And nothing was said then. Someone else confessed that they recently attended in costume with a nerf gun painted to look realistic and a very brightly colored (and obviously fake) bandolier, and no one took any offense or made him get rid of his "bullets" and "gun."
3) One young man who was up for an award at this years' conference accepted his award in a t-shirt. Yet again, no one took him to task for his informal wear.
4) So–the question becomes: why the double standard?
If cosplay IS acceptable at the banquet within the context of "Sunday best or better," and the men with the cyborg arm and wolf paws were, by all accounts, otherwise dressed to the nines, then why was the line drawn where it was?
If cosplay is NOT acceptable, then there needs to be one rule for everyone, and no one should appear at the banquet in costume.
The one concern seems to be that there should not be arbitrary decisions such as "prosthetics are a safety hazard," or "camo isn't dressy enough" while a tshirt and jeans is. Having an issue with a masked man is one thing, but he didn't arrive at the banquet alone–he came in a group of other costumed people, and he cleared hotel security–as you pointed out–and the issue then became the refusal of a certain person within ACFW to allow him and those who arrived with him to attend the banquet dressed as they were.
As someone else noted, having the masked man take off his mask would have solved the source of alarm for almost everyone who had a problem with his costume.
The suggestion has been put forward that it might be more reasonable to have a costume event at future conferences separate from the awards banquet so that it is clear what expectations are and everyone can have an opportunity to have fun dressing up in costume without fear of censure.
I think this would be an excellent idea. 🙂
I think the whole costume argument is ludicrous. So they broke the dress code and looked "terrorist". So what? It's the conference's call on whether or not to permit that. Also, BANQUET. What's more, AWARDS BANQUET. Best foot forward, people. Scary costumes are not the way to go!
Sounds like costumes permitted previously were all at least semi-dressy. And it doesn't sound like the conference objected to costumes at the rest of the convention. We just like being discriminated against so we can squawk.
Next year, people, go to ComicCon or one of the big secular conventions and stop picking on the romance con.
Also, Stephen, thanks for taking the time to present all sides of the argument. I'd only heard it from the cosplayers' side until now.
They should've known the rules.
But– I still rolled my eyes. This is why I only go to Christian conferences when they're dirt cheap for me to attend. I'd rather go to something else 3 out 4 times. I highly doubt that security approached them and was adamant. People wear full Fallout 3 power armor to conventions and hotels and convention centers don't blink, and someone wears a mask and this hotel panics? Eh…. I just don't 100% buy that. I'm not saying security was absolutely silent, because I doubt these people are liars, but at the same time they perhaps protest too much. (Comparing one's event to the academy awards is also kind of silly.)
Anyway– the rest of the article:
My gut reaction to the questions presented are: no, I don't think so (that they proceed from a spirit of worshipfulness, per se)… but neither is disallowing them. I don't see how either is any more proceeding out of a spirit of worship than the other. I'm just sort of puzzled as to how one's dress at a conference has anything to do with being all things to all people. People dressing all formally with ties and suits and making me wear the same makes me uncomfortable (I have never worn a suit I liked but once, and that one only because I felt like I was an Oxford Don) and I don't like it.
You are right, Julius, we should have known the rules. That said, when you have several years go by and many people dress in costumes…Jeff Gerke as a night, Randy Ingermanson in steam punk, Chip MacGregor in a kilt, hundreds of historical dresses, then the blur is there and ACFW allowed them. In doing so, they effectively said cosplay is okay. Kat Heckenbach made an excellent point on my blog and again on my facebook about what the issue that has caused the rift is. A portion of the body feels spurned. That may be intentional or not but should be addressed. Otherwise, you have people stewing and that is never a good thing.
I don't think that has a thing to do with self worship. God made us all a little different for a reason and our job is to learn how to love each other in spite of the differences. Celebrate the differences, even.
The simple point comes down to this…If the ACFW allows historical and period dress at the gala and refuses to allow other cosplay, they are wrong. I can understand wanting the gala to be formal and have prestige. That means NO costumes at all and the fashion police must stop people like Caleb from wearing t-shirts to accept his Genesis award. See the problem? Splitting hairs is a messy business.
I was being a bit facetious. I know it is dress, but when you start splitting hairs to suit your own way, people call foul. Kat astutely pointed out that if we go with technicalities, a formal toga would do. There are also cultures that dress in loincloths and I for one don't care to see that. 😉 Clarification is definitely in order and I LOVE the idea of a night for costumes. That sounds like a brilliant compromise. =)
I don't know about this guy, but certainly here in Scotland, a kilt is absolutely normal formal wear, worn by many men. It would be worn for graduations, weddings, anything you might wear evening dress for.
National dress is often considered to be equivalent of evening dress. So, for example, at a black tie event a Nigerian wearing (formal) Nigerian robes would be acceptable.
I think it depends whether it genuinely is what you would wear for formal dress. No-one wears togas for that now, so it wouldn't count.
A loincloth? Only if it was
a) genuinely formal wear in your own culture
b) considered modest by the surrounding culture. In the same way that western people living abroad will adapt what they wear to be modest in the other culture. E.g. when I visited Malawi, I always wore a skirt. When my dad visited Argentina, he did not wear his kilt .
Sorry, I'm getting a bit off topic
While I have not been to a conference, I have a full-length cloak made to the top-left pattern in this image (sans hat, purple velvety fabric)that I wear around college sometimes. Other "cloakers" exist on campus and we sometimes plan to all wear our cloaks on the same day. I can pin down three reasons I wear it.
It's warm–especially nice when I wear shorts and it cools down.
It makes me feel cozy, kind of like wearing a bathrobe around the house.
It makes people do a double take and smile.
In fact, one of my professor's little girls was absolutely entranced by the clasp when I wore it to a department picnic.Here's a full picture</a
You met the cloakers! (On my visit to campus last semester I met one of them too – she was awesome. :D)
Classification of policy? Really? It's the ACFW. The "C" is representative of a very specific brand of "C." It's their way or the highway. It would be nice if a more specific label were attached to describe their brand of "C" but, well, it is what it is. I'll be discussing this in more in my Speculative Faith Guest Column on October the 5th. By the way, I wouldn't attend any convention if I couldn't show up as a vampire. Oh, and I'm a "C." Just not that kind of "C."
[…] inspired by the great discussions in part 5 and part 6 about why we love stories at […]

Near Chicago, two rail workers were going about their normal workday...prepping a line for a normal, routine track repair, when, without warning, a gas tank exploded...killing one employee and severely injuring the other.
An investigation is underway as to what could have happened, but two families are now searching for answers to the hundreds of questions they will soon face.
Our hearts go out to the grieving families.
When the family feels comfortable, they're going to have questions...questions that need answers!

Coaching Paper
This paper outlines two distinct approaches to coaching in Australian junior football. After examining these two concepts, it seems clear that the 'Developmental Focus' is the approach that Glen Eira FC would strongly advocate from it"s junior coaches
Football is one of the world's most difficult sports to master. It takes around 10 years of dedicated practice to get to a high level of skill. This sport rewards technical ability and decision making, over mere athletic ability. Junior football in Australia can generally be divided into two different coaching concepts.
1. "Win focused" – 'all about the team' (the more traditional approach) and
2. "Development focused" – 'all about the individual'. (the more modern approach encouragedby the FFA)
Win focus – involves an emphasis on the results of the "team", over and above the individual. Tactics and physicality are emphasised along with the concepts of "true grit" courage and commitment. Coaches generally look for bigger, stronger and more athletic players and will encourage a direct style of play (minimal passes and long ball to goal) to win. This style of play is often very effective at junior levels and is reinforced due to the fact that coaches (and parents) measure performances based on the score. Losing is taken hard by players and coaches,which increases the pressure to take less risks on the field. Parents will be drawn into this 'win mentality' adding further pressure on their children to 'perform'. This approach limits the development of critical skills and decision making, and so reduces a player's potential to play at higher levels in later years (note: critical ages for skill development is from 8-13 years old). Ultimately all this leads to an early drop out of the sport in later teens – as the player decides it is no longer "fun".
'Development focus' – is an emphasis on the individual's development, over the team. The coach's focus is on developing player skill through a possession-based style of play. Player size and strength and athleticism is less important. Weekend games are not strongly win focused, but are rather seen as learning opportunities to test player skills/decision making. Players are not afraid to make mistakes, and are encouraged to take risks. This leads to improved confidence in players, who are free to explore/try new moves. The possession-based style allows more touches of the ball, allowing increased opportunities to learn. There is an acceptance, however, that this style of play can lead to increased errors (through more passing and risk taking). In this case, an opposition team, with a more direct style of play, will take advantage of errors resulting in more scores against your team. But players, parents and coaches all understand that the longer term benefits mean "playing well" is more important than just trying to "win". Ultimately, improvements in player skills and decision making will lead to success on the field, in the longer term. Importantly, the reduced pressure and more enjoyable experiences mean players are more likely to stay in the sport longer. Players will also benefit through better long term prospects of reaching higher levels in the sport as they get older.

One of the things that really chaps my hide when it snows in Portland is hearing all the non-natives complain about how "unprepared" Portland is for snow, and how the non-natives seem to think that Portland drivers are worse than any other drivers (particularly the drivers in the non-natives' home town, of course).
And I'll prove it.
There were more winter traffic accidents, per-capita, in the Greater Anchorage, Alaska, area in 2003 and 2004, than there were in the same time period in Portland, OR. The total numbers of accidents reported were fairly close, in spite of the fact that the Greater Anchorage area population is about half of the city of Portland.
Portland traffic statistics are from the Oregon Department of Transportation website.
Greater Anchorage traffic statistics are from the Alaska Department of Transportation website.
I made a little chart that can be viewed online. I don't think it can be changed but I'll get an email if it is, so don't think to mess with my data!
For the record, I'm not a statistics guru. I realize that I may be comparing apples and oranges here. For one thing, the Metropolitan Portland population, including the 'Couve, Beavertron, and Gresham and other outlying areas, is much larger than the Greater Anchorage area. If anyone wants to suggest cities of comparable sizes, I'm more than happy to try it again. I just picked Anchorage because I figured Alaskans would "know how to drive in the snow" and because I found their accident reports online.
I thought Detroit, Michigan would be another good choice to compare. Maybe Buffalo. Fargo, North Dakota? Or, maybe I'll get bored and move on to something else.
I'm sure anyone out there who wants to dispute my quickie analysis will speak right up. Feel free! That's what science is all about.

Winner of "Best Buffet" in The Chope Diners' Choice Awards 2017, Singapore Tatler's Singapore Best Restaurants 2016/2017 and TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence (Outstanding Service & Quality) in 2015 and 2017, The Line has upped the ante once again with Canton Fair featuring a range of Cantonese delicacies, desserts and drinks.
The Line at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore is a 400-seater all-day dining buffet restaurant. The Canton Fair is part of its all-inclusive buffet boasting varied fare from its 16 theatre kitchens hosted every evening (6pm till 10pm) from 10 January to 28 February.
The Canton Fair was the brainchild of Executive Steven Ng – a 30-veteran in the industry – who used to be the head chef at Shang Palace, a fine dining Chinese restaurant at the hotel. His inspiration for the main dishes at Canton Fair was drawn from the Lunar New Year dishes that he used to partake in Hongkong. Traditionally these dishes are symbolic of abundance, prosperity, good health and happiness.
The main meat dishes are cooked between 2 and 3 hours. The piglets are selected when they are still unweaned and about 4 weeks' old. In this case, the Roasted Suckling Pig looked a little bigger than usual, but the meat was still tender and of course the crispy and glossy skin gave a nice "crack" sound when bitten into.
I was not too impressed with the Roast Pork as I expected a nice layer of fat to counterbalance the whole crispiness of the lean meat and the crackling skin. It was a little overcooked for my liking.
The Braised Pork Knuckle, a traditional favourite for its wealth symbolism, was tender and full of flavourwas first roasted before it was braised for 2 hours to retain the knuckle in its entirety. The result is the meat was tender, flavourful and succulent.
Chef Ng uses quality ingredients, and this shows in the Braised Bird's Nest with Lobster & Nameko Mushrooms and Braised Bird's Nest with Crab Meat & Roe. The first braise had a nice and sweet lobster flavour which blended well with the mushrooms. The Braised Bird's Nest with Crab Meat & Roe did not fare as the braise did not have the full flavour of the first.
The Abalone Fried Rice was nothing out of ordinary. I believe abalone is best cooked in a sauce or soup to enhance its flavour.
As part of the Canton Fair, Chef Ng also presented a veritable selection of Cantonese dishes for diners: Hongkong Fried Bee Hoon
Sliced Beef with Vegetable,
Sweet & Sour Pork,
Wok-Fried chicken with Celery and Cashew Nuts,
Prawn Paste Chicken.
For desserts, I tried the Roselle Flower Jelly, reputed to have good Vitamin C and various health benefits, which was citrusy and light, and grass-jelly and soya bean milk, which was quite refreshing and not too sweet.
If you are here for buffet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Canton Fair (until 28 February), you must not miss the Marine Harvest which features a veritable selection of finest seafood sourced from the States, Canada and Japan.
For those not into seafood, you can indulge in international gastronomic delights such as the Stanbroke Wagyu Beef Rib-eye Steak, Joojeh kebab (chicken), chicken and beef satays, sashimi and local favourites such as Laksa and Popiah.
Families celebrating the Lunar New Year may want to consider this buffet when the young and old can come together to partake in the huge spread including the delicacies from Canton Fair. There is bound to be something for everyone.
NAHMJ Verdict
The Canton Fair buffet has enough to satisfy some discerning taste buds. Together with the rest of buffet spread, this is quite a winner at under $100 a head especially for those celebrating the upcoming Lunar New Year.

Good news if you have been waiting to get your hands on the Galaxy Note 7 with T-Mobile as the carrier has resumed sales of the handset from today.
Sales of the Galaxy Note 7 were halted last month as Samsung had to recall all of the 2.5 million units of the handset it sold due to a fire risk after a number of devices caught fire.
The carrier is selling the new version of the handset which has had the new batteries which are supposed to fix the issues with the previous device.
T-Mobile are now selling the handset again at their retail stores and also in their online store, you can find out more details about the device at the link below.

Highlanders advance to second round with win over Dekaney
THE WOODLANDS — The Woodlands coach Dale Reed gives minutes to almost every player on his roster throughout the course of a game, and Monday night's Class 5A playoff game with Dekaney was no different.
In fact, it's a big reason the Highlanders came out on top.
Cody Mason scored a game-high 18 points and Clay Fisher added 10, both off the bench, as The Woodlands advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a 65-39 victory over the Dekaney Wildcats at College Park High School.
"Any time you win in the playoffs, it's satisfying," Reed said. "What I loved about our guys is they played like they wanted another game, and that's so important in the playoffs. If you feel like you're done, then you're going to get beat. If you feel like you want to play one more and do everything you can to do that, then there's a good chance you're going to be playing one more."
The Highlanders stormed out of the gates to begin the game, as Brian Baehl hit two 3-pointers and Hayden Galatas added one more to hand the team a commanding 9-0 lead.
The Wildcats were able to close the gap to six later in the quarter when Deon Fisher hit back-to-back 3-pointers, but that's when Mason entered the game and took over. He scored the next seven points and stretched The Woodlands lead back to 15, giving the Highlanders a 23-8 advantage after one quarter.
Mason, who tallied 14 first-half points, was back at it again in the second period, scoring seven more to give The Woodlands a 36-20 lead going into halftime.
The Highlanders continued to build their lead in the third quarter, as back-to-back buckets from Fisher gave them an 18-point lead going into the final period. The Woodlands finished the game on a 17-9 run and sealed away the victory. Fisher scored all 10 of his points in the second half.
The Wildcats played physical throughout the game, and tried to make things difficult for the Highlanders with their speed, athleticism and length. But precise execution and timing helped The Woodlands defuse Dekaney's strategy.
"You all have to be on the same page," Reed said. "We have to use our system, and I thought our guys did a great job of that, of doing what we do. I thought our guys were really focused from the tip-off. Everybody came ready to play."
The Woodlands will face Austin Anderson in the area round on Thursday at College Station High School. Austin Anderson eliminated Cedar Ridge on Monday night.
The Woodlands 65, Dekaney 39
The Woodlands: 23 13 12 17 — 65
Dekaney: 8 12 10 9 — 39
Leaders: The Woodlands — Cody Mason, 18 points; Clay Fisher, 10 points. Dekaney — Deon Fisher, 10 points; Marquis Bell, 9 points.
Records: The Woodlands (28-6), Dekaney (20-15)

It's going on downtown
It's that time of year again when the mountain comes to town in the seventh annual Export 33 Parklife Invitational Rail Jam. Thirty invited skiers and riders – including local Matt Johnson (pictured) – will battle it out on a purpose-built stair feature set up in Earnslaw Park tomorrow night.
Snow will be trucked in from the Remarkables for the event and a huge crowd is expected to watch the big guns throw down the moves – to the tunes of Sunshine Sound System and P Diggs playing nearby. The action kicks off at 6pm – remember to rug up.
Start your engines
Well, the race season has finally kicked off with a bang, with the first giant slalom ski race at Cardrona last Monday. All those spandex lovers sucked it in and slipped on their tight suits to race it out. Pictured in all their lycra glory are Jamie Prebble and Angus Howden before their second run.
I'm a lumberjack…
NZSki staff are getting crazy with costumes as they continue their dodgeball tournament.
We've heard they're going all-out – there are transsexual lumberjacks, ninjas, cross-dressing English tea partygoers, Victoria's Secret models, superheroes, hip-hop dancers and one team is even called Bin Laden's Ball Bags.
Even management are getting involved but apparently their costumes are more subdued. Staff have got good reason to go crazy – prizes are given for best-dressed each week and there's an overall prize for the winning team. The six-week comp is about halfway through – it's held at the Events Centre each Wednesday night.
Freeski frenzy
Hardcore skiers will be out in force next week with the start of this year's NZ Freeski Open.
The fifth annual Open, kicking off on Tuesday, covers slopestyle and halfpipe – held at Cardrona – and big mountain, held at Treble Cone and The Remarkables.
The event attracts some of the world's biggest names in skiing, and from this year the comp is officially recognised on the international Freeski World Tour alongside the biggest global freeski events.
Among the celebs are some of NZ's finest – Jossi and Byron Wells, Janina Kuzma, Sam Smoothy and Geoff Small. The action winds up on August 20.
Marvellous night for a moon dance
Skier-cross extremist Sarah Sauvey is a regular on the podium but a mooning experience recently in (the aptly named) Horni Misecky ski resort in the Czech Republic by a random guy was definitely a first for her.
Sauvey's the first of many athletes to arrive in New Zealand to prepare for the Winter Games – and she'll launch herself off anything she can find.
She's skiing for United Kingdom loud and proud and you'll see her rocking around in flawless red disco ski pants. I don't think she realises the 1980s are over…

Monrovia – The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has refuted reports of that a very rice is currently being sold on the Liberian Market.
The Ministry's disproval comes in the wake of recent allegations of plastic rice being imported into the country by the United Commodities Incorporated (UCI).
UCI is one of five importers, granted the rights to import rice in Liberia by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
The rice being talked about is said to be labeled in a pink bag with an inscription written on it as 'United Grain', and at the same time bearing an ID NSL/RS/792.'
But the Deputy Minister for Administration at Commerce and Industry, Mr. Wilfred Bangura, told newsmen Wednesday, August 29, that since news pop out about the rice being unsafe for consumption, the particular consignment was quarantined for testing.
Dep. Min Bangura, however, noted that recent scientific tests conducted by the National Standard Laboratory disproved allegations that the rice has plastic characteristic.
"The Ministry of Commerce is therefore pleased to announce to the public that the tests revealed that the sample of rice submitted is identical, organic and has a characteristic of normal rice and not plastic rice," Bangura said.
Minister Bangura noted that all the necessary experiments were conducted on the rice and results prove that the 'pink-bagged' rice under consideration is safe for consumption.
According to report from the National Standard Laboratory, a copy of which is in the possession of FrontPageAfrica, the United Grain Rice has a solid grain type, an ambient condition along with a normal room temperature of 25C.
The scientific result shows that during the test, sample of the rice was boiled and cooked as normal rice; it was free of filth, foreign matters and unpleasant smell making it safe for consumption.
He assured that the Ministry is committed to ensuring that various commodities coming to Liberia, especially food, are safe for consumption and will not do anything on the contrary.
At the same time, Bangura disclosed that an investigation conducted by the Ministry has revealed, that one of the five rice importers in Liberia is behind the scheme spreading falsehood of the rice.
He refused to reveal the name of the importer under question on grounds that discussions are still being held with all importers, but assures that such name will be made public next week.
Minister Bangura then lauded all stakeholders and the public for the patience and cooperation during the period of investigation and experiment on the rice.
According to the Ministry, UCI is so far the highest distributors of rice on the Liberian market.
The Deputy Commerce Minister believes such allegation against one of Liberia's highest rice importers does not augur well for the improvement of the Liberian marketing sector.
The Ministry of Commerce is the regulatory agency of government with the responsibility to regulate the market and protect Liberians from unsafe commodities coming into the country.

Couples Retreat
By Ian Forbes
No Comments
I know what the audience could use the bucket for …
Theatrical Release Date: 10/09/2009
Director: Peter Billingsley
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Kristen Davis, Kali Hawk, Jean Reno
I'm going to start the review with just about the only positive comment I can make regarding "Couples Retreat": making it through the entire film with your significant other should count as a bonding experience that you can look back on to help you through tough times – like losing one's job, natural disasters or a death in the family.
Simply put, writers Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn (with director Peter Billingsley's "help") have managed to craft a film more on the level of "Made" than "Swingers" and should have just gotten the cast together for a real vacation, paid for it with their multi-million dollar bank accounts on their own dimes rather than use film finances and left the viewing public alone.
The premise is a simple one. Jason Bateman and Kristin Bell's marriage is on the rocks. They discover an island paradise masquerading as world-famous couples therapy and wrangle their best friends (see crazy cast listing above) into coming. The four couples then must discover what is and what isn't working in each relationship so that in the end, the warm and fuzzy feeling comes from both the sappy ending and the alcohol you should have been drinking to justify purchasing a ticket to see the film in the first place.
Along the way, hijinks are to ensue but really this plays out much more like an examination of problems with communication in relationships than a full blown comedy. All but a few of the funny bits are in the trailer so I can save you 111 minutes of your life-span right there. And yes, this film clocks in just under 2 hours so don't think you're going to pop into the theater for a quickie on this one.
Each of the actors does what it appears is required of them from the script but the bottom line is that audiences are looking for this to be a comedy. You don't assemble a cast loaded with this many comedians only to then ask everyone to get in touch with their emotions.
Now, I do admit that having never been married (ladies count your blessings), I'm sure there's a lot going on here that I couldn't identify with and that exacerbates my issues with the film. So maybe those of you in serious relationships/civil unions/common law and/or full marriages might find another angle to possibly enjoy the film. However, all I could really connect my feelings to on this was "The Break-Up", another dramatic suck-hole pretending to be a comedy.
If they make a sequel, I can already give them a possible title: "Audience Retreat". It's been a little while since I had wanted to leave a theater so badly (even Jean Reno's inclusion didn't give me much solace). I'm going to temporarily award "Couples Retreat" a 1 out of 5. Plans are in the works to go to a modified ratings system utilizing half points … and only then can I knock this down another half peg. Whatever you're planning to do this weekend, save yourself the time, trouble and money of watching this film. Comedies are supposed to be funny, sadly Favreau and Vaughn seemed to have forgotten that fact here.

This is Air Tanker 137, a B-737 operated by Coulson Aviation. It's one of two 737s they have converted to air tankers. They sold the other one to New South Wales in Australia a few months ago.
This aircraft, T-137, made the first ever drop on a fire by a 737 November 22, 2018 during the recent 2018-2019 Australian summer while it was on contract down there before the other 737 was delivered to NSW. It made its first drop in the United States around the first of August this year.
Britt Coulson said the company substituted T-137 for their T-132, an L-382G that was on a Call When Needed Contract, taking the place of it on the list.
Obviously Coulson Instagrammed the photo, but if someone knows the photographer's name, we will add it here.

Balenciaga: Ready-To-Wear SS20
It wasn't a fashion show, it was a total sensory experience. In a vast film studio on then outskirts of Paris Demna Gvasalia staged an immersive happening. We passed from the grey Paris morning through a sensory cleansing, blackout box and emerged in a vast and entirely blue auditorium where everything – the walls, spiralling carpeted runway and rows of delegates chairs – was the same shade. And then the show started.
"LOOK 1: Neda Brady, an architect, wears an unstructured uniform with embroidered business logos and removable whalebones at the shoulders, with a VIP pass necklace."
The 91-look show featured real people, dressed in a work uniform. The inspired cast included artists, engineers, law students, gallerists, plus Bella Hadid. There were real faces, all ages but some models had their cheekbones or lips exaggerated by prosthetics – the strange and enhanced future of beauty in Gvasalia's eyes.
You could describe the opening passage of dark suits, as security guard chic, but it was full of clever touches – the whalebone struts holding up the shoulder line of the jackets could be taken out to create a different silhouette, LED logos glowed on the arms of the sunglasses, credit card earrings dangled down.
It was like a UN conference directed by David Lynch. Sniff the air. Was that the whiff of money or petrol? The house pumped smells into the space to stimulate all the senses. The experience was further heightened by trompe l'oeil prints of denim jackets, and jeans on silk pyjama separates. They looked heavy and light at the same time. There were so many great clothes and several talking point moments. A series of inflatable down jackets looked like a tribute to the giant jacket account @itsmaysmemes.
Nadja Auermann walked in a strangle-collar open-backed fetish gown made with layers of negligee-like satin. But the viral moment belonged to a series of extraordinary crinolined gowns, in sweetie wrapper metallics or matte stretch velvet. Those bell shaped crins could be removed and the dress worn down, but the size and scale of them seemed to fit the message of the show. It was an epic display of fashion virtuosity and 360-degree showmanship. Bravo!

"I have never seen such a big tits!" My friend said with excitement. My older sister seems to have big tits. How long is it … If you thought so, my sister 's older sister brought me a drink.
【Really big tits …】 When you see the chest of a child, everyone would think so. It's that big tits.
Time passed and I could not stand it, I peeked at my friend's sister's room. My older sister who poses for the race queen's cosplay and poses. Big tits are visible.No one will not be excited to see this big tits. Especially the servants of the virgin.
After that it is supposed to touch the big tits of my older sister's friend Race Queen Cosplay.

Lebanon Ambassador in Egypt Says Lebanese Unhurt, Additional MEA Flights to Evacuate Citizens
Lebanon's ambassador to Cairo Khaled Ziade has informed Caretaker Foreign Minister Ali al-Shami that Lebanese citizens in Egypt were unhurt following violent demonstrations against the Mubarak regime.
Shami's office said in a statement that the Caretaker foreign minister was following up closely the situation of the Lebanese community in Egypt.
Thousands of passengers were stranded at Cairo's airport over the weekend as flights were canceled or delayed. Several Arab nations, meanwhile, moved to evacuate their citizens.
Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan organized an additional 10 flights to evacuate their citizens, officials at Cairo International Airport said. Among those who left were families of diplomats.
Middle East Airlines said it will send two additional planes to Cairo on Sunday to fly home Lebanese nationals.
Meanwhile, scores of demonstrators organized a rally outside the Egyptian embassy in Beirut on Saturday, condemning the regime of President Hosni Mubarak and his autocratic rule.
Demonstrators burned photos of Mubarak amid the deployment of scores of anti-riot police. Internal Security Forces briefly blocked the Cola-Cite Sportive road.

Kuta started out as a surfer's paradise; today this tourist resort facing the Indian Ocean is one of Bali's most popular playgrounds. These travel tips will help you understand & enjoy Kuta better.
Kuta is blessed with a long and wide beach that is lapped by the Indian Ocean. It started out as a surfer's paradise and was a favoured backpacker route in South East Asia. Today Kuta is a popular tourist resort for backpackers, families and a large number of young Australians. Kuta does have its share of undeveloped buildings, bustling crowds & general hustle and bustle of Bali, however there is a relaxing vibe to the place that keeps many visitors coming back. Adding to this is the 5 km stretch of golden sandy beach which many consider to be the best in Bali. The beach is clean in most places and is thought to be safe; the only downside are the touts and hawkers who try their level best to get a purchase from you. Kuta Beach can be quite crowded with dozens of sunbathers and some surfers but heading north along the beach there are more secluded areas. Kuta is also the party capital of Bali; when the sun goes down this resort comes alive with plenty of action that goes on into the wee hours of the morning.
The nearest airport is the Ngurah Rai International Airport also called the Denpasar International Airport. It is located just 15 minutes to the south of Kuta. The general rate for catching a taxi from the airport to Kuta is Rp 50,000; a cheaper option would be to walk the 200m from the airport to the spot that houses metered taxis. You also have a choice of reaching Kuta by bus as the resort is well connected to many parts of Bali by bus. A third option would be by boat; the boats are run by private companies and offer connections to Kuta from Gili Islands, Nusa Lembongan and Lombok. A pick-up and drop-off service is provided by most boat operators from Benoa Harbour which is 20 minutes north east of Kuta.
Choosing a good resort in Bali Kuta is paramount to enjoying your stay. Many of the hotels here offer budget accommodation and do not have the trappings of a luxurious Kuta five star resort. If it is an outdoor pool, beachfront access and spa facilities you hanker for, look for upmarket hotels that will enhance you stay. The Beachwalk shopping precinct situated next to the Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is a good choice of location for choosing your Kuta accommodation.
Kuta is often congested with traffic blocks and it is wise to enter the downtown area by foot, which is a mere 1 ½ kms in total. You have the option of driving a hired car, taking a taxi or motorbike. The most trusted taxi services are Bali Taksi and bluebird. Local scooters are always happy to offer you a ride and are a quick mode of transport around the city, if you are up for some action.
Starting with shopping, Kuta is home to a wide number of shopping malls many which are found on the Beachwalk area and Kuta Square. Kuta is also the best place to get yourself cheap Balinese massages. Relishing the gorgeous sunsets of Kuta is another treat to look forward to and if you are not snuggled up on a lounger of your beachfront Kuta hotel, head over to the nearest beach.
There is no shortage of both classy and budget eateries in Kuta. If you are looking forward to an elegant night out there are gourmet restaurants like Maccaroni Club and Ma Joly. Night owls will find a range of bars serving drinks to the accompaniment of diverse entertainment options. Stay safe choose accommodation wisely and enjoy your time in Kuta.

What is an IP rating?
An IP (Ingress Protection) rating classifies the degrees of protection of an electrical item against water and dust. Beginning with IP and followed by two numbers, the first digit is indicative of the item's resistance to dust and the second is of its resistance to water. Protection against dust is measured from */ 0 up to 6, whereas protection against water is measured from */ 0 up to 8. The protection against these elements increases as the number does, with * / 0 telling us that the item has NO protection against either dust or water.
Why is this important?
The IP rating of a defib will tell you (and us!) whether it is suitable for the environment where it's most likely to be used; for example, if there is a good chance your defib may be used in an outdoor environment, you will need a unit with a higher IP rating to ensure it can be used regardless the weather or terrain. If you are looking for a defibrillator more suitable for an indoors environment, you can afford to choose one with a lower IP rating, based on the other features that may be more suitable.
When a particular product is "approved" by the FDA, this marks the pass in the premarket approval (or PMA) application of a particular product which has been submitted to the FDA.
To receive approval of a device through a PMA application, the applicant in question must provide reasonable assurance of the device's safety and effectiveness which is then challenged by the FDA before being approved.
Whilst all AEDs can be used to increase chances of survival and even save a life in the event of a cardiac arrest, FDA approved devices provide that extra piece of mind that the specific unit being used has undergone vigorous and substantial testing to ensure that that particular piece of equipment operates just as it should and provides the most effective care possible.
Many manufacturers perform their own tests on products, but not all defibrillators will undergo the same premarket approval as FDA approved devices and there is no guarantee or stamp of certification if testing has taken place with non-FDA approved products.

New guidance issued by the SEC's Trading & Markets Division and FINRA addresses emerging digital asset security custody models while emphasizing that the "fundamental elements" of securities custody apply regardless of whether securities are in paper or digital form.
The SEC's Division of Trading and Markets and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. issued non-binding guidance on the custody of digital asset securities that, among other things, emphasizes compliance with the SEC's financial responsibility rules for broker-dealers. However, the guidance acknowledges that existing securities regulations may not perfectly fit the custody needs of those handling digital asset securities. The joint Trading and Markets-FINRA statement also said the guidance (SEC version; FINRA version) was prompted by a growing number of new and continuing membership applications submitted to FINRA proposing "diverse" custody models for digital asset securities.
The developing custody landscape. The guidance divides the digital asset security landscape into noncustodial and custodial models. Among the noncustodial models that have been proposed are the following:
- trade matching in which a broker-dealer instructs a customer to pay for, and an issuer to issue, a digital asset security to a customer's digital wallet (i.e., the broker-dealer only issues instructions and the transaction is settled bilaterally, directly between the issuer and the buyer);
- OTC secondary market transactions in which the buyer and seller directly transact such that the digital asset security never goes through a broker dealer (i.e., the broker-dealer plays a facilitating role only); and
- the use of an introducing broker-dealer in a secondary market transaction where the broker-dealer refers the seller and buyer to a platform where the seller and buyer directly settle (e.g., the guidance suggested a broker-dealer ATS where the buyer and seller either settle directly or they instruct their custodians to settle).
The remainder of the guidance addresses various issues that may arise in the context of compliance with the SEC's constellation of financial responsibility rules. These rules were adopted in revised form in 2013 and include: (1) Rule 15c3-1 (customer protection); (2) Rule 17a-3 (making of records); (3) Rule 17a-4 (record retention); (4) Rule 17a-5 (financial reports); and (5) Rule 17a-13 (quarterly security counts).
The guidance described the issues related to these rules as "novel and complex." The guidance also emphasized the potential for theft of digital asset securities. As an example, the guidance observed that the SEC has had a largely successful 50-year history with its customer protection rule, but that the risk of theft associated with digital asset securities "contrast[s]" with this history. A footnote to the guidance (note 6) cited a report by CipherTrace estimating that $1.7 billion Bitcoin were stolen in 2018, a significant increase (3.6 times more) over 2017. The footnote also suggested that more than half of the 2018 Bitcoin thefts studied ($950 million or nearly 56 percent) were the result of cyberattacks on trading platforms.
Customer protection rule. The purpose, said the guidance, of the customer protection rule is to ensure the safeguarding of customer securities and funds held by broker-dealers in order to prevent loss or other harm in the event that a broker-dealer fails, and to give the SEC the capability to monitor broker-dealers' activities. Under the "traditional" model, broker-dealers comply with the rule by maintaining custody of customer securities at a third-party custodian or by maintaining custody of uncertificated securities at the issuer or the issuer's transfer agent.
The guidance here again raised the prospect for theft of digital asset securities, which in turn raises several questions: (1) Could a broker-dealer demonstrate that it has exclusive control of a digital asset security? and (2) Would a broker-dealer holding private keys be able to reverse or cancel transactions?
Other financial responsibility rules. According to the guidance, the purpose of various broker-dealer rules for making and keeping records and counting securities held is to provide a record of broker-dealer assets and liabilities and to enable further SEC monitoring of broker-dealer activities. In the context of digital asset securities, several issues arise, including how a broker-dealer would evidence the existence of a digital asset security. The guidance also raised the possibility that a broker-dealer's outside auditor may balk at financial reports that cannot show the existence of a digital asset security.
The SEC's 2019 FinTech Forum, although not mentioned in the guidance, provided a glimpse at the more detailed issues facing auditors in the blockchain space. The "Investment Management Considerations" panel, hosted by Dalia Blass, director of the SEC's Division of Investment Management, explored many of the issues addressed more generally by the new Trading and Markets-FINRA guidance. But with respect to auditing, Amy Steele of Deloitte suggested a "top five" set of issues, with existence of a digital asset being the top issue. Steele said the way to prove a digital asset exists is to look carefully at the specific blockchain's consensus mechanism.
Steele also raised four more issues that auditors will need to grapple with. With respect to rights, one will have to show they own or control an asset, which means they may need to engage in a small transaction or other messaging to demonstrate their ownership or control. A related issue is how does one show exclusive control. Steele agreed with another panelist that valuation is a "solvable" issue. Ambiguity, however, can arise in digital transactions and one may need to show that they have engaged in arms-length transactions rather than in affiliate transactions. Finally, the safeguarding of assets is something auditors will look for, including cyber controls, the control of keys, and the use of multi-sig measures and deep cold storage.
SIPA considerations. The Securities Investor Protection Act functions to ensure investors who use broker-dealers can recover their property if their broker-dealer fails. The guidance suggests that a digital asset security that does not fall within SIPA's definition of "security" would likely not be covered. There also could be increased risk that such assets held by a broker-dealer might not be returned to customers if the broker-deal failed because of ambiguity about whether the broker-dealer has possession or control of the asset.
To further explain how SIPA would impact digital assets one can look to remarks by Elizabeth Baird, deputy director of the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, who moderated the "Trading and Markets Considerations" panel at the SEC's 2019 Fintech Forum. Baird noted that SIPA's definition of "security" is narrower than the same definition contained in the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. She also observed that SIPA would not likely cover virtual currencies held in custody at a broker-dealer because they may not be "funds" or "cash." Moreover, Baird cautioned that SIPA only covers registered securities, which means that securities subject to an exemption would not be covered by SIPA.
