Jaron Noisy Hawk is the president of GW's Native American Student Association.
In recent weeks, the controversy over the Washington Redskins' name has turned heads in D.C. and around the country. In a nation that espouses the freedom, equality and basic human rights of its citizens, I find it ironic that the District's football team has continued to use a racial epithet that only serves to prolong the painful history of subjugation of a segment of this country's populace.
Keeping the Native American namesake and streamlined image of a Native American as a logo is greatly detrimental to our identity. I know this first-hand, both as the president of GW's Native American Student Association President, and as a full blood Oglala Lakota Sioux, the very people that the team's logo and name commercializes.
The argument is often made that the team's name and logo are in honor of Native Americans. In recent years though, the use of the team's logo and name have become an assault on our culture. It's a rich Native American culture that is still recovering from oppression by the U.S. government up to the 1980's and now arguably today through the vast commercialization of my people.
Being Native American in the 21st century is difficult because of the constant stereotypes I confront on a daily basis, enmeshed in people's minds through media and imagery such as that of the Washington Redskins or other Hollywood depictions of Native Americans. With each defacement of these effigies – be it at the hands of the team's opponents or not – it is felt as a personal attack against myself and my people. This sentiment is no doubt shared between anyone of an indigenous background.
Of all places, our university and its diverse community of faculty and students should take a stance against the blatant for-profit misappropriation of the first Americans.

Selling Your House? You Need These Real Estate TricksThere are many places you can turn to if you want to receive advice on what you should do when buying a home, but what about advice for people trying to sell homes? Home-sellers need advice too, but there are few places giving it out. In this article, we'll go over quite a few great tips that you can use, in order to sell your property.
When selling your house, find a suitable realtor. This person is actually working for you, and you need to be sure that they will do the best job. Talk to friends and neighbors who have recently bought or sold a house, and find out about their experiences with a particular agent. If possible, try to meet the agent at their place of business. This will give you a good idea as to how organized they are. Most of all, trust your gut instincts. If you don't think that the agent is suitable for you, then the chances are you won't have a positive experience when it comes to selling your home.
When you're selling your home don't let your ego or pride get in the way about the house. It isn't about you it's about your home. Yes, it may be just brick and cement but these people are looking for their future home. Be inviting and visit the next website page to let people do a walk-through. Of course you wouldn't want to buy something without being in it and neither would they.
Before listing a home for sale, the savvy homeowner will make sure all of his or her appliances are modern. Replacing old appliances may be expensive. It might even be painful, if the old appliances function satisfactorily. Installing cutting-edge appliances is worth the expense, though. Potential home buyers will appreciate the convenience of having new appliances so that they won't have to worry about replacing them.
If you're looking to improve your house to improve its value and increase your chances of selling it, start with the floors. If you have linoleum in your kitchen, hallway, bathroom, wherever, get rid of it. Instead, replace it with tile. It looks a lot better, and will increase your chances of selling your house.
Your house should smell fresh. If sell my property without an agent have pets or you smoke, you may have become accustomed to the smell. Have a friend come over and give you an honest opinion. If there are any lingering smells, scrub the house from top to bottom, open all the windows to get some fresh air in, and throw out anything that is beyond help. Don't fall into the trap of using scented candles or a strong air freshener. If a prospective buyer doesn't like that particular scent, they may be put off the house entirely.
Present a welcoming atmosphere from the outside so potential buyers can immediately feel the warmth of the property. You will definitely find that an increased number of people want to view your home.
Review your listing very carefully after your real estate agent sets it up. They are only human and there could be some mistakes in it. This way if you review it, you can be sure that it will be correct and will not be held accountable for any errors.
In a down market, take the time and try to negotiate your broker's commission. During buyer's markets you may have to price your home lower than what you normally could have received for it. Work with your broker and see if they are willing to negotiate the amount of their commission. Do this while you are still deciding on a broker so that you can move on if one is unwilling to budge.
One tip to keep in mind when it comes to real estate is that when you are selling your house, you need to SELL your house. This is important because you can not rely on the house to sell itself just based on looks. You need to be an active participant in selling your house by pointing out all of the good features and benefits that apply directly to the buyer.
Spend the money to advertise a property you are trying to sell. https://buyhousesquick.wordpress.com/2017/11/01/signs-your-home-could-have-bigger-issues-in-the-future/ of mouth advertising is not always the best route to get to potential buyers. Consider using street signage as well as print advertisements in local newspapers and magazines. You may also consider listing in national real estate publications.
If you are trying to sell your home during the off-season, it is important that you are familiar with your local market. Read the newspaper, look through online blogs and visit other homes that are for sale in your area. This will give you an accurate picture of the way the housing market looks in your city.
Upgrade your outdoor living space to attract buyers. Consider adding a deck or fixing up an outdated patio. Add greenery or a few shade trees. Outdoor living is becoming more and more popular in today's lifestyle. Buyers are looking for it. Top dollars can be made on a great outdoor space.
Do not spend too much on new flooring. New flooring could be an expensive investment in which you won't be the one using it. If the floor is in decent shape, give a good cleaning or wax and make it look the best that you can.
It is important that you make your home easily accessible for showings. If the home is hard to get in or there is no room for your buyers to park then they may just overlook your property and go to another property on their list. Remember, think like the buyer.
You should find out if other homes in your area are selling before you decide to put your house on the market. Your real estate agent should be able to tell you if it is a good time to sell your home and how much you should ask for it. This is a great way to be sure that you are selling your home quickly.
Individuals who decide to sell their properties should use a real estate lawyer to help with all the paperwork that is necessary at the sale's final point. A real estate attorney can help avoid problems and unpleasant surprises that might arise during the final paperwork or closing.
Potential buyers don't want to look to purchase a home which has rusty pipes and faucets. If your home plumbing isn't in tip top condition, it can put off a potential buyer.
As was stated in the beginning of the article, learning important details about the real estate selling process can prove to be helpful. Apply the information you learned from reading this article into selling your home. By following this advice, you may find yourself more confident when you sell your home.

This post was mostly prompted by a long series of discussions had online and in person with many people, including in particular Adam Back and Tim Ruffing (but lots of others!) - and certainly not restricted to discussions I took part in - about the tradeoffs in a version of Bitcoin that does actually use Confidential Transactions.
I'll shortly be writing a blog post about the idea of "PayJoin", which is a variant of what's sometimes been called "Pay-To-Endpoint" coinjoin, or "p2ep".

Racine County, WIHome Menu
Honor Guard
The Racine County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard consists of 12 sworn members of the Racine County Sheriff's Office. The Honor Guard is called out for funerals for past and present members of the Racine County Sheriff's Office. The Honor Guard serves at these funerals as a show of respect and honor for the deceased Deputy's service as a Law Enforcement Officer to the county and the Racine County Sheriff's Office.
Using special Honor Guard uniforms and equipment, the Honor Guard performs a casket watch during the visitation, performs pall-bearer duties, sets up the squad procession to the burial site, folds and presents the flag to the family, and arranges the rifle salute, bugler, and bagpiper.
The Honor Guard also attends line-of-duty funerals for deceased officers from other law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Wisconsin and adjoining states as a show of respect for the fallen officer, their families and their law enforcement agency.

Like regular white sugar, Demerara sugar is also made from sugarcane but instead consists of large grains which provide a crunchy texture.
It originated from Guyana (which was once known as Demerara) in South America.
It's often used as sprinkles to decorate cakes and muffins but can also be added to tea and coffee. You will also often see it in gourmet cocktails.
Unlike many store-bought brown sugars, that have molasses added, it naturally contains molasses, which is what gives it a light brown color and caramel flavor.
The sugarcane is first pressed to extract sugarcane juice. Then it is boiled and until it thickens into a syrup. Once the water has completely evaporated, it cools and hardens into Demerara sugar.
Demerara sugar does retain some vitamins and minerals, unlike regular white sugar, which undergoes too much processing to retain them.

You have dealt with these emotions haunting you long enough. Harmful thinking isn't helping – you need to make some serious changes now.
Instigators and Risk Factors for Virgin Phobia
The root cause of Virgin Phobia is often (but not always) traumatic incident in the past. In some cases, the mind has seemingly, without basis, created the fear. The answer if to uncover the deep-down source and replace those negative connections with positive ones. Those most at risk are:
• Those who have a general predisposition for fear and anxiety
• Ones who are characterized as 'high-strung'
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency
Do any of these describe you? You can see testimonials from individuals who know our our capability to make a difference.
You can also read what the media has to say.
Indicators That You Need Assistance
You can use our two minute Virgin Phobia Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
- Do you become queasy at the smallest idea of Young Girls?
- Does your mouth go dry and your palms get sweaty?
- Does your heart rate instantly sky-rocket?
- Do you feel as though you are unable to stand?
These are just a few examples of symptoms people can experience. If you want to understand more about the symptoms of Virgin Phobia, click here.
We address the symptoms, but we uncover the source, to eliminate them both. It's what we're all about
Drugs and Prescriptions
We strongly believe that drugs are not a good solution for any Parthenophobe, but you should always follow your physician's advice with regard to drugs/meds and Virgin Phobia. The root cause of being Parthenophobic is an unconscious mental association that links young girls to powerful feelings of fear. Meds can mask the awful feelings for a while, but never break the mental patterns at the core of the problem
There is no drug specifically for Virgin Phobia – When looking for an answer, maybe you should think about possible side effects before turning to prescription drugs.
The good news is with our help, you will conquer your Virgin Phobia, without drugs..

Lucky Brits got a chance to dive into the world of Louboutin earlier this week when Christian Louboutin: The World's Most Luxurious Shoes aired on Channel 4. As expected, the documentary got people excited and even led to #Louboutin trending on Twitter. While we couldn't catch the program on American television, the British press has been sharing some choice tidbits and nuggets of information we never knew about the designer.
Fact #1: There are some serious perks for Louboutin, including a personal butler, Safquat, who's a constant presence and helps out with whatever is required.
Fact #2: He owns four homes. Including a stunning spread in the seaside Vendée region. There's a veritable museum inside too, with an archive including more than 8,000 pairs of shoes.
Fact #3: He has his own impressive shoe collection. With more than 100 pairs in his Paris residence alone! They're organized by type, with separate sections for spike-embellished, metal-tipped, and sneakers.
Fact #4: Celebs get custom Loubs, as shown by a last marked just for Kylie Minogue. The top-notch service also means Louboutin's very discreet, abstaining from talking about his clients much. "I feel like a designer and also like a doctor. A doctor has secrets, and a doctor never speaks of his patients. When I do things that are public for my patient around a movie, I would easily discuss it. But otherwise I do not discuss my patient-slash-client, as a good doctor should."
Fact #5: He's not afraid of messing up his shoes and actually has a special term for it: "doing a Mariah Carey." Viewers watch him cut away at the fabric of a shoe during a photo shoot, and he explains the on-the-fly tweaking as something the diva would approve of. Per Louboutin, she always wants "a bit less shoe, a bit more flesh."
Fact #6: He hobnobs with royalty. The designer's shown hanging with the royal with the most perfect skin ever, Queen Jetsun of Bhutan, which is pretty awesome (see their meeting below). There's no record of Louboutin ever hanging with Kate Middleton, but we do know she owns a pair of his boots, gifted by Victoria Beckham no less.
Also, prepare to squash any dreams about the red-sole titan stepping outside of the sexy shoes and accessory arena. He previously confirmed he would never want to work on a clothing line and said the idea of a lower-priced line is out of the question too. "It would offend me to put my name on a design I would not be proud of. It's nonnegotiable."

Tehran Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a repertoire of classical pieces on May 24-26 at Vahdat Hall in Tehran.
The concert will be staged in collaboration with acclaimed violinist Pedram Faryousefi, 35, and Italian cellist and composer Alessio Pianelli, 28. Both artists will appear as soloists, according to Arash Gouran, art director and conductor of the orchestra.
The concert will start with the Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, a set of four compositions written by Argentine composer, arranger and bandoneon player Astor Piazzolla, 71, ISNA reported.
The featured music is a 1998 rearrangement of Russian composer Leonid Desyatnikov, 62. The new arrangement is a mix of Piazzolla and Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), the Italian Baroque composer famous for the original series of violin concertos known as the Four Seasons.
In Desyatnikov's edition, each of the four pieces is converted into a 3-section piece, and rearranged for solo violin and string orchestra.
In each piece, Desyatnikov included several quotations from the original Vivaldi work but due to the seasons being inverted between Italy in northern hemisphere and Argentina in southern, he added elements of Vivaldi's Winter to Piazzolla's Summer.
The second part of the concert is dedicated to 'Symphony for String Orchestra,' written by prominent Azerbaijani composer Fikret Amirov (1922-1984).
Amirov composed the symphony in 1947 to commemorate Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi (1141-1209). Both the composer and the poet were born in Ganja which is now Azerbaijan Republic's second largest city after the capital Baku.
Gouran said the concert "is sponsored by music enthusiasts and through sale of tickets."
Vahdat Hall is located on Shahryar Blvd., Hafez St., south of Enqelab Ave.

Christmas in Macclesfield will be revolutionised this year with the first ever town centre ice rink.
There will also be market stalls and a grotto with the rink in the grounds of St Michael's Church in the Market Place.
Organiser Mandy Fazelynia said: "It's about boosting trade in the town and encouraging families to come back.
"It's early days, we're still securing businesses to invest, but it's game on."
MP David Rutley said: "It's a great idea, exactly what we need. I'll be there with my family."
Vicar of St Michael's, the Rev David Wightman, added. "Christmas is a Christian festival but if both religion and people's jobs can gain at the same time, then why not?"
Any profit made from the rink will go to Macc Future Limited, a company set up by Mandy and Nicholas Smith to fund future community events.
The 60ft by 26ft rink (about half the size of a basketball court), holds up to 50 skaters at a time. It will open from December 10 to Christmas Eve and costs £6 for an hour's skating.

With the steadily rising need for electric energy, the extremely high cost of oil together with the growing attention for the environment, a lot of companies are making use of the alternative energy sources.
Among the sustainable sources of energy, the solar energy is a viable option and one that you can utilize for many purposes. Several organizations are currently tapping into this different energy source, hoping to benefit from its several advantages.
Lessened Operating Expenses
Solar power methods will help minimize or even put an end to the huge electric bills of your office building. For small and big companies, this financial savings can have a great effect.
Having a solar power policy established is the equivalent to paying in advance for nearly 40 years of energy source but at merely a portion of what you are currently spending for electricity.
The expense per unit of your usual energy payments is possibly much higher compared to what you would consume for solar energy. This approach will result in extra profits for your company.
Good Return on Investment
Government incentives strongly influence this huge boom in the amount of solar panel investment by both household and industrial sectors. Due to a new wave of state and federal policies and positive industry economics, the solar industry is booming.
Additionally, due to the encouragement of the government along with the reduction of solar material prices suggests the application of solar energy is a solid investment and an excellent economical choice for public businesses and agencies.
Investing in solar energy produces both fast paybacks as well as long-term savings. By staying away from non-renewable sources of energy, companies can establish an environmentally engaged model and help promote green business purposes.
Acquiring the "Green" Label
Applying power from solar energy will result in a lessened utilization of fuels, therefore minimizing greenhouse gas discharges as well as pollution.
By using this alternative source, any company or business can display its support in the fight against climate change and can lessen the country's reliance on external sources.
Going eco-friendly will not simply reduce operating costs but will serve as an excellent public relation as well as marketing tool. Having an environmentally friendly image is always beneficial for any business, as it can produce positive feedback from consumers.
Reliable and Free of Maintenance
Power savings from solar energy can be substantial since the primary driver for most companies is to lessen their utility bills. Once you install solar technologies in GStore, the solar will need only a few or no maintenance ever, particularly if no batteries are in use.
The actual advantage of going solar begins after that season as companies can experience free electrical supply for around 35 years which is the lifetime of the solar panels. Investing and installing solar methods is like paying around 35 years of energy bills. Along with extended lifespan, solar operations also come with extended warranties.
With soaring utility costs and a considerable drop in the price of buying and installing solar schemes, solar technology has become a reliable and cost-effective power alternative, especially for company owners.
Having solar power operations installed may seem like a huge investment at first, but it can sure produce multiple benefits in the long run. Besides, due to the latest wave of government policies as well as productive business economics, the solar enterprise is growing.

The cryptocurrency market is a fact. Nobody can ignore the growing numbers of coins, the companies behind them and the ICOs that helped bring them to life. In order to make this market more accessible to the wider public, regulation is needed. And for proper regulation, the cryptosphere depends on the word of decision makers - heads of state, who in turn take counsel from the chief executives of their national financial systems.
While some top regulators view the evolving new market with suspicions, others are more supportive and look forward to integrating the market into the global finance system. Most of these people are considered anonymous. Some of them are mere humble civil servants.
These are the people who can change the world by saying only a few words. By making just one decision they can create global shockwaves. Meet the movers and shakers of the cryptosphere, the people who have the best chances of influencing the global crypto trend. The world's top 20 regulators ranked - this is BLOCKTV's official countdown.
Mario Draghi. "It's too soon... Cash is still popular". Getty Images
"Distributed ledgers have not yet been thoroughly tested and require substantial further development before they could be used in a central bank context." These are the words of Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank since 2011. Draghi, to put it mildly, is not the biggest supporter of cryptocurrency, or possibly any move forward.
"It's too soon to talk of a means of payment for the future. We need to think further", "Cash is still very popular". These quotes are reflective of what Draghi thinks of crypto. When faced with questions about crypto regulation, Draghi usually sticks to the same line: Crypto is not secure enough yet, and it is not up to the ECB to regulate or ban crypto coins. Draghi was ranked by Forbes as "the 8th most powerful person in the world", and a year later was dubbed "the second greatest world leader" by Fortune magazine. As such a top financier, he could have exerted his influence in favor of regulating cryptocurrency, but Draghi prefers to absolve himself from the responsibility, and just keep observing the market. Dragging will not get you anywhere, Mr. Draghi.
Andrew Bailey. "If you want to invest in Bitcoin, be prepared to lose your money". Getty Images
At number 19 stands Andrew Bailey, Chief Executive of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. The UK is considered the world's 5th largest economy; however, Bailey shows no sign of intending to regulate cryptocurrency in the Kingdom. A doctor of History, Bailey joined the Bank of England in 1985 and has held several senior financial posts since then. Bailey is hardly a crypto enthusiast; Last year he refused to recognize Bitcoin as a currency or a digital asset, saying: "if you want to invest in Bitcoin, be prepared to lose your money". Will Bailey, as the head of the FCA, go ahead with cryptocurrency regulation? At the moment such a scenario seems highly unlikely, but the UK may follow other countries if a regulatory trend emerges. Bailey himself doesn't seem to be the man who will take this bold initiative.
Hester Maria Peirce. "Progress should not be bound by limits of lawyerly imagination". Getty Images
Hester Maria Peirce is a commissioner on the US Security Exchange Commission (SEC). Nominated by President Donald Trump in early 2017, Peirce is a crypto friendly face among the tough SEC board. Peirce holds a BA in economics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and a JD of law from Yale. She also has some experience in politics, as a former staffer for Senator Richard Shelby (D-AL).
Last August, a day after the SEC rejected 9 Bitcoin ETF proposals, Peirce was the commissioner who announced that these rejections will be reviewed. The cryptosphere reacted with a standing ovation and Peirce was immediately thrown in the spotlight as the friendliest voice to crypto to ever come from within the SEC. In May Peirce addressed the issue, saying: "we must be careful not to let our lack of familiarity with new technology breed anxiety, and therefore bad regulation", adding that "the law deserves respect, but technological progress should not be bound by the limits of the regulator's lawyerly imagination". It is this kind of statements that gives hope that even the US may soon acknowledge the need to regulate cryptocurrency.
Lesetja Kganyago. "Banks need to embrace fintech or they will disappear". Getty Images
Who's gonna take Africa one step ahead? At number 18 we have the perfect candidate, Lesetja Kganyago, Governor of South Africa's Reserve Bank. South Africa leads the continent in crypto activity, with "Bitcoin" being the most trending term in the country on Google search. Kganyago, who has degrees in international trade and public administration, has expressed openness to innovative technologies on a number of occasions. "Banks need to embrace fintech or they will disappear", he said in early 2018. Two years earlier, he stated South Africa is "willing to consider the merits and risks of blockchain technology and other distributed ledgers". South Africa is working slowly, but with Kganyago as the face of its financial conduct, it may be heading the right way.
Louis Morisset. "We welcome this type of innovation". Getty Images
At number 16 is Louis Morisset, President of the Canadian Securities Administrators since 2015. Morisset speaks highly about the future of crypto, but the organization he heads released statements warning the public from the abundance of risks involved in crypto trade. A Law graduate from the University of Montreal, Morisset remains positive on the prospects of crypto, saying "the technology behind cryptocurrency has the potential to generate new capital raising opportunities for businesses, and we welcome this type of innovation". Oh Canada, be the home and native land for crypto traders.
Chui Jong-Ku. "Make the crypto transaction system stable and strengthen the protection of traders". Getty Images
Chui Jong-Ku serves as Chairman of South Korea's Financial Services Commission since July 2017. He has accumulated decades of service in the Korean financial community. His previous job was the Chairman and President of the Export-Import Bank of Korea.
South Korea is widely considered one of the friendliest countries to crypto, and Chui has been the leader of the country's exploration of the cryptosphere and attempts to regulate it. These experiments may prove far-reaching to the rest of the world, as the Koreans continue to venture boldly into crypto and actually test crypto-related innovations. According to some estimates, South Korea accounts for roughly 30% of the global crypto trade. In June, following the hacking of the Seoul-based Bithumb exchange, Chui said: "we need to make the crypto transaction system stable, and strengthen the protection of traders by virtual currency handling businesses", thus demonstrating South Korea's intentions to move further in developing a financial system that supports crypto trade.
Eva Kaili. "We aspire to make the EU a leading player in the field of blockchain". Getty Images
Eva Kaili is a Greek member of the European Parliament and a vocal supporter of an orderly regulation for cryptocurrency. This 39-year-old journalist-turned-politician apparently wants to be the fresh face of blockchain in the EU. She was the first MEP to draft a parliamentary resolution calling for "open-minded, progressive and innovation-friendly regulation". This puts her at the forefront of EU policy towards cryptocurrency.
A former TV anchor in Greece, Kaili obtained an M.A. in International Relations from the University of Piraeus. She is a strong supporter of blockchain technologies, but she also plays the responsible politician, taking into consideration the damage that can be caused to many sectors if blockchain was to be fully adopted, saying: "we aspire to make the EU a leading player in the field of blockchain, and as regulators, we need to make sure that all this effort will be embraced by the necessary institutional and legal certainty". The EU remains behind other world powers in blockchain, but with Kaili, it may be pushing forward soon.
At number 13 is the gentle but tough face of Japanese regulation. Meet Toshihide Endo, commissioner of Japan's Financial Services Agency. 59 years of age, Endo holds degrees in law and economy. He joined the Japanese Finance Ministry in 1982, and this year he took over the top position from reformist Nobuchika Mori. In his previous role, Endo tightened regulation on the country's financial institutions and introduced stress tests for all banks. Upon his appointment, Japan's Finance Minister assured the public that he was "putting the right person in the right place".
We tend to agree with that statement. Japan has been consistent in its growing pro-crypto policy and it seems inevitable that Endo will keep the country's strong position on the crypto market. Just recently, refering to the crypto market, Endo said explicitly: "We have no intention to curb it excessively. We would like to see it grow under appropriate regulation".
Steven Maijoor. Cryptophob. Getty Images
Steven Maijoor, Chairman of the European Securities and Markets Authority since 2011, is a European regulator who's afraid of ICOs, and appears to be extremely skeptic and full of concerns towards the cryptosphere. Previously a prominent figure in Dutch economics, Maijoor, a doctor of Economics, issued a warning to investors in cryptocurrency, that they risk losing all their investment money. This stands in contrast to views expressed by other prominent EU regulators. On the issue of regulating crypto, Maijoor remains neutral at best, saying that "while the so-called ICOs can give you services in return for the coin you buy, this happens in a very unregulated space".
Christopher Giancarlo. "A thoughtful regulatory approach". Getty Images
We head back to the US for our number 11. Meet Christopher Giancarlo, who may well be the guardian-angel of crypto in the US. Chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Mr. Giancarlo told the Senate upon his appointment: "We owe it to this new generation, to respect their interest in this new technology with a thoughtful regulatory approach. We must crack down hard on those who abuse our young enthusiasm for Bitcoin and blockchain technology for their own personal gains".
Giancarlo's approach towards crypto isn't limited to statements only. Under his Presidency, the CFTC published a large number of consumer educational materials on cryptocurrency, including written statements, podcasts, webinars, briefings for senior citizens and a website dedicated to Bitcoin. Giancarlo said that the CFTC has never conducted such outreach for any other financial product. He also pushes the CFTC to analyze data on crypto trade, in search for frauds and manipulations. Respected by both Presidents Trump and Obama, Giancarlo definitely represents an optimistic view of crypto. It remains to be seen whether his views would become popular in Washington DC, but American crypto traders can safely trust his intentions.
Mark Zuckerberg. "I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies". Getty Images
Mark Zuckerberg needs no introduction. The CEO and co-founder of Facebook is no official regulator, of course, but he seems to have a lot of influence over the blockchain industry. In May 2018, Facebook announced that it's setting up a small pioneering team that will focus on blockchain and its potential implications. This team is headed by David Marcus, former PayPal CEO who also lead the Messenger app team in Facebook. It was also rumored that Facebook is considering buying Coinbase, the biggest crypto exchange in the US, where Marcus is a board member since 2017.
Given the enormous political power that Facebook holds, we can only imagine what would take place, should the tech behemoth announce a massive entrance to the cryptosphere. Zuckerberg already declared crypto research his personal challenge of the year. This was followed by a Facebook ban on crypto ads, for fears of "misleading and deceptive promotional practices". The ban was later removed.
Sometimes it seems Zuckerberg is merely reacting to competition from other companies, most notably Telegram, that managed to raise 2 billion dollars for their ICO. Whatever his motivations are, Zuckerberg is set to become a key person in the crypto market's road to meet mainstream users. In a post to mark the new year, Zuckerberg wrote: "there are important counter-trends… like cryptocurrency, that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services". We are waiting to see the outcome.
Elvira Nabiullina. "We do nnot legalize pyramids". Getty Images
For our number 9 we turn to Moscow and the headquarters of Russia's central bank. Meet Elvira Nabiullina, the central bank's chairwoman – and the first lady of the opposition to crypto. A former minister and personal advisor to President Vladimir Putin, Nabiullina refuses to acknowledge any potential benefits of cryptocurrency. "We do not legalize pyramids", she told the International Bankers Forum, and on another occasion she elaborated: "the use of cryptocurrency as a surrogate for the Ruble in trading in goods and services, has a risk of undermining the circulation of money. We will not allow the use of cryptocurrency as surrogate money".
With such an attitude, it may seem that Russia will not be regulating crypto in the near future - even though Moscow was strongly rumored to be flirting with the idea of a national cryptocurrency. Nabiullina categorically opposes even the equation of cryptocurrencies to fiat money because of its decentralized character. In 2017, British magazine The Banker named her "central banker of the year, Europe". If Nabiullina will not be instructed otherwise, the Russian market for cryptocurrency will remain in deep freeze.
Valdis Dombrovskis. "Europe MUST embrace this innovation". Getty Images
At number 8 we have Valdis Dombrovskis, the European Commission's Vice President for the Euro and Social Dialogue. A responsive observer, the 47-year-old Latvian official is the person in charge of proper regulation of Europe's financial markets. He is also the man in charge of promoting a global regulatory approach, and this is why it is no big surprise that he shows a lot of interest in the evolving crypto market.
Dombrovskis also seems the most crypto-enthusiast among top EU officials. Dombrovskis served the as Prime Minister of Latvia for more than 4 years, and resigned his post after a shopping mall fire in the capital Riga caused the death of 54 people, saying that "the government takes full responsibility for the tragedy". So, he appears to be a responsible statesman with a lot of interest in crypto.
Referring to blockchain, Dombrovskis said it "holds strong promise for financial markets. To remain competitive, Europe must embrace this innovation." Looking at the market, he differentiates between various coins, and in order to avoid risks of money-laundering, he proposed that "virtual currency exchanges and wallet providers should be subject to the Anti-Money Laundering Directive." For now, the EU still represents only a small share of the global crypto trade, and while Dombrovskis cannot make revolutionary decisions on his own, he may very well turn out to be the driving force behind a possible future change in the EU economic regime.
Jones. Co-regulated market. GFSC
Our number 7 rocks – as it represents the tiny rocky territory of Gibraltar. Meet Sian Jones, the lady who looks to cryptonize Europe. 65 years of age, this tech entrepreneur and policy advisor has become a presenter for Gibraltar's ambition to become the most crypto-friendly country in the world. Jones moved from Britain to Gibraltar for that very purpose. Since November 2017, she is the person leading the DLT policy for the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.
Jones also leads the European Digital Currency and Blockchain Technology Forum, advising EU regulators; and she was the founder of CoinSult, a UK-based consultancy firm focusing on the crypto market and regulating it. She has no academic education, yet Jones helped Gibraltar become the base of activity for over 200 blockchain enterprises. Other small countries, most notably Malta, are now following in these footsteps. Jones believes that the crypto market is co-regulated, saying that "the marketplace will determine on its own what a good ICO looks like". BLOCKTV believes in Jones and the example she has set for the rest of the world.
Anton Siluanov. "Cryptocurrencies are a reality, no point in prohibiting them". Getty Images
"A good, solid specialist", said Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2011 when he appointed Anton Siluanov to the crucial post of Russia's Finance Minister. Except for a brief period in military service, it seems Siluanov spent most of his life in the Ministry of Finance in Moscow, since the days it was Soviet, eventually becoming its top man. In his capacity as Finance Minister, Siluanov is also the Russian representative in the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
When it comes to crypto, Siluanov prefers observing the market and reacting as little than possible, rather than trying to introduce regulation. While promoting legislation in the field, Siluanov consistently warns against the volatility of the cryptosphere, and the immense risk of fraud. He was against creating a national Russian cryptocurrency, Due to the field's decentralized character. "The state certainly understands that cryptocurrencies are a reality. There is no point in prohibiting them", he said at the Moscow Financial Forum in 2017, "It is possible to regulate them, so the Finance Ministry will draw up a bill by the end of next year".
Official regulation in Russia is yet to be announced, but meanwhile, Siluanov keeps up the mixed approach. Yes to regulation, not to everyone, yes to cryptocurrency but not all cryptocurrencies. We are still waiting to see whether Anton Siluanov would lead a regulatory revolution in Russia, that will trigger shock effects in the rest of the world.
Pierre Moscovici. "We don't have to react to Bitcoin at this stage". Getty Images
Meet Pierre Moscovici, the EU Commissioner for Economic & Financial affairs, and a cool, relaxed observer of the crypto market. While other top functionaries mentioned here urge or reject regulation, or avoid stating any clear stance, Mocovici, a champion of French socialism, remains quiet and self-assured when it comes to crypto. In an interview to Bloomberg, Moscovici confirmed that the EU is constantly looking into the market, but added: "we don't think we have to react to Bitcoin at this stage as a political and technical body".
The protégé of shamed former IMF Chief and Presidential Candidate Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Moscovici worked his way up French politics, from being a youth revolutionary, through holding the post of National Secretary of the French Socialist Party, all the way to being a cabinet member in two French governments.
Moscovici insists that the EU should take a relaxed approach towards crypto, which basically means wait and see what happens. This stands in contrast to views expressed by other top EU officials. Still, on December 2017, the British press reported that he ordered the EU to make plans to end anonymity for crypto traders, citing anti-money laundering and tax evasion crackdowns. Moscovici will continue to observe, but when the right moment comes, he looks set to lead the EU into full regulation of cryptocurrency.
Yi Gang. A new era? Getty Images
Yi Gang is frequently called "the Silver Fox" for his suave and soft-spoken conduct. He is Governor of the People's Bank of China, the central financial institution in the hottest country to make business in. Under the leadership of strongman Xi Jinping, China recently shut down all crypto operations and blocked all searches for crypto. Starting in early 2018, China has banned all exchanges and mining operations, however it is still legal for traders to accept crypto. The motive behind these moves remains hazy, with some analysts claiming this may lead to a market-breaking launch of a new official Chinese cryptocurrency.
Yi himself has said before that he found Bitcoin "inspiring" and predicted it will remain in the focus of global attention in the long-term. A fluent English speaker, Yi is one of the very few senior Chinese officials to rise to the top after an extensive period of living overseas, in his case in the US. He never spared the Chinese economy from criticism, although limited and diplomatic in nature. He was the only nominee to the post and his appointment was hailed by President Xi as a "new era" in Chinese economy.
While taking cryptocurrency very seriously, Yi said Bitcoin cannot be recognized by China "in the near future". In another occasion, Yi said that "Bitcoin is a currency that provides freedom to anyone who uses it". Even U.S. officials described Yi as "a very strong technical leader with lots of skills". This leaves us with the profile of a very prominent person, who may in the future be the brains behind a world revolution – but this depends on political resolutions that need to take place in Beijing.
Mark Branson. "Cryptomania is everywhere, regulators must face up to it". Getty Images
In the past year, Switzerland has become one of the friendliest countries for blockchain and crypto businesses in the world. This was a result of the creation of clear and relatively simple guidelines for ICOs, balancing between certainty for entrepreneurs and protection for investors. Mark Branson, who heads the Swiss national finance authority FINMA since 2014, has kept the Swiss rules strict.
Branson, a British national who became the first non-Swiss person to lead FINMA, is the man who started building blockchains in the Alps. In 2017 he undertook action against the growing number of fraudulent ICOs in the market. He introduced national crypto guidelines, which helped reinforce trust but also slowed the pace of the creation of new ventures. In order to help bridge the gap between the crypto market and traditional Swiss banks, Branson helped found the first-in-the-world Crypto-Assets Exchange in Switzerland.
Looking at blockchain, Branson said it "gives rise to serious and successful projects, while others don't". He vowed to stop any illegal use of funds in blockchain, while making sure the agency he heads maintains its strict neutrality. It was during his time as FINMA director that the small town of Zug became world famous as "crypto-valley", the hub of crypto activity in the country. Crypto valley has attracted blockchain-utilizing residents such as the Ethereum Foundation and Vitalik Buterin.
Branson's FINMA has cleared the way for blockchain innovation. He makes it clear that its strategic goals "are based on providing equal opportunities for existing as well as new business models", Branson sees reality clearly: "Cryptomania is everywhere", he told the International Monetary Institute, adding that regulators must face up to it. We couldn't agree more.
Christine Lagarde. "We need to develop regulatory frameworks to meet an evolving challenge". Getty Images
Christine Lagarde is a real international political power holder. She is the head of the International Monetary Fund, the international body working to achieve global financial stability, monetary cooperation and economic growth. A regular in Forbes Magazine's list of world's most influential leader, and one of the most powerful people in the global financial system and on earth, this 62-year-old health-conscious vegetarian attempts to take leadership over global economy and its moves towards integrating cryptocurrency and the supporting technologies.
A former French Finance Minister, Lagarde is a vocal proponent of introducing global regulation over crypto. Her opinions on the crypto market appear to be balanced, and she keeps pushing forward the world discussion, calling for an "even-handed approach". In a landmark blog last March, she wrote: "Digital offerings are typically built in a decentralized way and without the need for a central bank… the result is a potentially major new vehicle for money-laundering and the finance of terrorism… we need to develop regulatory frameworks to meet an evolving challenge". She pledged the IMF will play its part in this effort: "With our near-universal membership and expertise… we are uniquely situated to be a forum for helping develop answers in the evolving crypto-asset space". Lagarde adds: "crypto-assets know no boundaries, therefore international cooperation will be essential".
A brave senior power broker with a strong commitment to fighting the illnesses of the new system is exactly the kind of person we think the cryptosphere needs.
Jay Clayton. "We should embrace the pursuit of technological advancement". Getty Images
Finally, BLOCKTV's choice for the world's number 1 regulator, with the biggest potential to change the way the global finance system handles crypto trade, is the US SEC Chairman, Jay Clayton. Walter "Jay" Joseph Clayton III was appointed in 2017 by President Donald Trump, He got the job because of his skeptic approach towards regulations, which fitted the President's own agenda.
Born to a Virginia blue-collar family and raised in Pennsylvania, Clayton is married to Gretchen, a Vice President at Goldman Sachs. A former Wall Street attorney, Clayton specialized in mergers and acquisitions, with a list of respectable clients such as Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank.
Clayton is arguably the most influential figure in the US administration when it comes to the crypto market. Along with his SEC team, he is quietly tailoring different structures of regulation that would be allowed in the field. While cryptocurrencies are not intended to be regulated, most of the ICOs, which Clayton sees as securities, are starting to be regulated by the SEC – a move that has shaken the industry worldwide. Clayton has a similar agenda for the blockchain industry. According to estimates in Washington DC, his final goal is to bring the crypto market into the mainstream, in a way that would prevent it from threatening the big Wall Street establishments.
Clayton is also a cyber security enthusiast, who thinks the US government should put in more efforts in defense from such threats. "We should embrace the pursuit of technological advancement, as well as new and innovative techniques for capital raising, but not at the expense of the principles undermining our well-founded and proven approach to protecting investors and markets. Whether Clayton is the guardian angel of crypto or its undertaker, Clayton's consistent approach strongly stands out. And we are looking for a revolution.

Large payers like United Healthcare could buy PE investments in 2nd wave — 4 insights
As the first round of private equity investors prepare to sell, JD Supra examined what the second wave of physician practice management practice buyers could look like.
What you should know:
1. Current PE investors have targeted large practices with existing infrastructure to serve as platform practices. After the initial investment, PE investors often move on to target smaller practices nearby to expand the larger entities' reach.
2. PE investors invested in dermatology, ophthalmology, dental and pain management practices during the first wave.
3. Current investors are targeting orthopedics, urology and gastroenterology. JD Supra identified four reasons why these specialties are attractive to firms: They offer a high degree of market fragmentation, will be in demand as America ages, have lucrative ancillary services like surgery centers and have high reimbursement amount and/or volume forecasts.
4. JD Supra predicts as the first wave of investors begins to exit, major payers — like UnitedHealthcare — will become buyers as they look to vertically align.

You are invited to a performance! At 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 3 at the Val Marie Hotel, Prairie Wind & Silver Sage presents Madonna Hamel in a performance of My Sister's Apron in conjunction with the exhibition My Mother's Apron, now on view at PWSS until September 18. Help pass on the legacy of apron, and enjoy cameo appearances by the women of Val Marie – your friends and neighbours.
Performance art combines visual art with dramatic performance and has its history as far back as France in the early 20th century. It began to be more widely seen in North America in the 1960s and 1970s. Performance art uses styles and ideas from other forms of art, or sometimes from other forms of activity not associated with art, to create its own style.
Madonna Hamel is an artist, writer, performer, columnist and broadcaster currently resident in Val Marie. Her performance pieces/monologues/collages have been published in literary journals such as Capilano Review, Room, Fireweed, and others. As a journalist she contributes to CBC radio and the Globe and Mail. Her radio documentaries have won awards, including the New York Festival of World's Best Radio. In Quebec she fronted the band Aunty Maddy and worked as a backup singer, touring professionally in the United States. She continues to write songs and is currently working on a book, Habits, Orders & Vows, about faith as inheritance. Her mother was born in Val Marie in 1930.

Rural War Room is a duo: Donavan Suitt and Byron Werner. The name also refers to a cyberband, radio broadcast, podcast, digital record label and brand. Suitt & Werner manage production with members in six countries. The band entity of Rural War Room has many releases on digital services. The radio broadcast/podcast entity has over 1400 hours of archives. RuralWarRoomRecords digital label has many releases by mostly inactive or deceased artists who's music would otherwise be lost to the public. RWR also has many merch choices featuring artwork by Byron Werner.
Founded in 2005, when the publisher of the Free Press suggested that one might have more records than the other, Rural War Room duo Suitt & Werner began spinning a radio show where they alternate tracks trying to surprise each other. It did not take long for the pair to settle on 4 hours of radio each week. Rural War Room Radio spins vinyl, tape, and CDs from all over the world. International partners trade artists to air on the program. Often, featured tunes are unpublished, out-of-print, or specific the their country of origin with little distribution. Always all-genre, multi-generational, and unpredictable. Archived in one hour hq mp3s with commentary every 15 minutes. Always a live unedited variety show - even when a theme is observed. Connecting a theme on the show is more of an improv exercise. Song title connections mixed with complete surprises. Suitt and Werner never discuss playlists before going live - only the show title.
Over the years Rural War Room Radio has been syndicated in California, Oregon, Texas, Alaska, Ohio, Arkansas, and Florida in the USA. Overseas in England, Switzerland, and Japan. Complete archives on this blog with sound files hosted at Radio4All.net
The duo uses the name Rural War Room as live electronic DJs, a performance group, and a cyberband - recording online with musicians outside the USA, beginning the same year - 2005.
Donavan Suitt and Byron Werner never met before 2004, though they had been following similar paths exploring music as abstract art. In the 1980s, when Suitt (piano student school-boy in Little Rock) and Werner (Hollywood animation artist in Los Angeles) both became fascinated with "hand-turning" or "hand-spinning" vinyl records with the turntable motor turned off. From opposite sides of the country, they had both done this for decades; making various cassette recordings of their audio experiments. Once paired up, Rural War Room began hand-spinning various types of records. This produces the 'warble' sound they are known for. Suitt originally had the idea to play these noises like keyboard sounds. He began to sample the nonsensical sounds, pick catch sounding segments, loop them, and edits songs around these as if they were riffs from a regular instrument. The pair now had a use for their vast amounts of do-it-yourself audio recordings from years earlier.

Nearly 30 years ago the Original Shadowgate was released on the Mac and NES where it haunted gamers with its point-click first person adventure. I remember myself spending hours in front of the TV completely wide-eyed and sucked into the immersive story. This would happen to be one of the many titles that drew me into the fantasy world of video games. So when I got the opportunity to play the new Shadowgate before launch, you bet your sweet petunias I jumped at it. I was even more excited to hear that the original team with new members were taking on this project. Karl Roelofs is a veteran with his 27 years in the gaming industry and known for projects such as Road Runners Death Valley Rally to Settlers of Catan. Dave Marsh is also a veteran known for his work on over 150 titles in the past 7 years such as Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective and Starship Troopers Online. Together they are working with Zojoi to re-imagine Shadowgate.
You might ask yourself what is this new iteration of Shadowgate and how does it stand alone from its previous interpretations? The new Shadowgate is more than just an HD release or remake of an old game, Zojoi wanted to bring new life into this already cult classic adventure by rebuilding the game from the ground up. They've added more puzzles to twist the mind while leaving some old ones to quell the thirst of the oldschoolers such as myself. They added more rooms, each one is a hand painted to perfection in 2D graphical detail. There are also many new items to interact with to help you along your quest to survive the living castle Shadowgate.
This was a little tricky for me since many games have amazing graphics and look extremely life like, but when you're playing a game of this nature you have to take some things into consideration. One, this is not a next gen game and there is no possible way to use CGI where it would not take something away from the game. Two, it was never an overly animated title to begin with; that was were your imagination as the player came in. So after that revelation, I took a step back and started to enjoy the look from the perspective of say a connoisseur of fine art would in an art gallery. The attention to detail was really good, but at times it was slightly repetitive. I also got the feeling like I was standing in the fantasy section of my favorite bookstore moving from cover to cover when I was changing from room to room in game. I don't want to sound to harsh because again, how many ways can you make a castle look different at first? The true beauty of this game does not shine until you progress into the game and see its many wonders the castle has to offer. Overall the artwork was great and I looked forward to seeing even more polish in future titles.
This really stood out with me because if there would be anything that would be difficult to re-imagine or spice up would be a point-click game. To my amazement they managed to do just that. There are actually many ways you can play this game. One, if you desire the classic experience you can use the command system and turn on the original soundtrack, text box, and room transitions. If a cinematic experience is more your game, then you can switch off the UI and use customizable hot keys to explore the castle. I was actually impressed at just how many ways you could mix and match between the two and make the game really your own. So this became a very solid point that you could teach an old dog new tricks and I was presently surprised.
"The last thing that you remember is standing before the wizard Lakmir as he gestured wildly and chanted in an archaic tongue. Now you find yourself staring at an entryway which lies at the edge of a forest"
This would be something that I would have to say I was glad did not change much at all. If anything, it was just polished up and added a touch of class to bring out a fabled story of good verses evil. You play a young squire thrust into the role of "The Seed of Prophecy" where you are forced to venture into the living castle and traverse its many wonders in hopes of defeating the evil Warlock Lord. You are not completely alone, you carry with you the skull of the wizard Lakmir who gives you clues and helpful hints at times to keep you alive. But trust me, sometimes dying is part of the fun to see the many gruesome ways you can parish. Just remember to save your game… it's not as detrimental as it used to be since there is an auto save feature. So to save from me giving away any spoilers I will leave the story at that, but I will say this when dealing with a fire breathing dragon always remember to protect yourself first.
I did not find any issues with Shadowgate as far as polish goes. It was a very well put together game. You could see the love and dedication that was brought to the table when the remake of this game was nothing more than an idea while chatting among friends. Each menu flowed as it was supposed to. Very reminiscent of the old Shadowgate, but far less clunky since you have the ability to use a mouse or even hot keys. The dialog was very well planned right down to the snarky remarks if you were about to do something one might say less intelligent. So many kudos to the editing team for making a very well polished game.
Replay Value
This area seems to fall short for me on many games, but not completely with Shadowgate. Since there are 3 different difficulty levels that do significantly change the gameplay, there is opportunity to come back to the game again. Each one adds or removes objects you need to collect to complete the puzzles. Therefore making them that much harder or that much easier. The story of course does not change however. This could get a little monotonous, but if you're up for the puzzle solving and the thrill of the hunt, that is exactly what you will get by upping to the next level.
If you would like to get your own copy of Shadowgate it is available on Steam currently it is only on PC but it will be on Mac very soon and at a later time will be supported on the IOS and android.

The eSports industry is on a tear as very few modes of entertainment are as popular as video games. The video game industry is stealing the thunder of traditional media and entertainment. Per nerdetf.com, the video gaming market of $138 billion in 2018 is expected to grow at an estimated 10% per year till 2021.
Notably, eSports is a form of video game competition in front of an audience. There are 454 million eSports viewers globally, which is estimated to rise to 645 million by 2022, per Newzoo 2019 Global Esports Market Report. More people prefer watching video games over Netflix, HBO, ESPN, and Hulu combined, if we go by the data provided by Superdata Gaming Video Content.
While eSports is currently a small part of the huge video-game industry, it is growing exponentially. Agreed, most gamers play video games as a hobby, but professional gamers also participate in international tournaments which involve sponsorships and huge prize money.
Overwatch League, the competitive video-game venture that Activision Blizzard launched last year, named Coca-Cola Co KO as its official global beverage sponsor for non-alcoholic drinks. The game developer, which runs the professional eSports league, also signed sponsorship deals with carmaker Toyota Motor Corp TM, wireless provider T-Mobile US Inc TMUS and computing companies HP Inc. HPQ and Intel Corp. INTC.
Goldman estimates the monthly competitive eSports gamer count of 167 million as of 2018-end to hit 276 million by 2022. The forecast was based on the NewZoo survey. In 2018, about $4.5 billion was invested in eSports via private markets, according to the article Rise of Esports Investments.
Being one of the fastest growing categories in online gambling, eSports betting is on its way to hit a $8-billion mark in total wagers this year. Growth estimates hint at more than $16 billion of annual wagers in the years to come. This is against an estimated $1 billion in revenues to be earned in 2019 from the rest of eSports.
North America is poised to generate $409 million of eSports revenues in 2019, the maximum by any region, per Newzoo's report. China and South Korea will follow the U.S. lead with a respective 19% and 6% exposure. The rest of the world will make up the remaining 38%, per Reuters. While the main revenue source is advertising, merchandise and ticket sales are expected to increase 22% to nearly $104 million, if we go by the Reuters article.

How the three finger dragging on a trackpad could be improved
A proposal for three finger flicking
On a Mac you can turn on three finger dragging for trackpads (in OS10.11 hidden under Accessibility › Mouse & Trackpad › Trackpad Options…).
This enables you to easily drag around elements. A very helpful function. Especially, if the click of the trackpad is broken (I've seen many people just clicking and holding with one finger and dragging with another finger from the other hand).
The three finger drag basically works as a drag and hold. When you start moving something and release your fingers, there is a timeout until it drops. This is important when your space on the trackpad is not enough — it compares to the lifting of the mouse get more space to drag further.
I'm using this one most of time in my daily workflow. And most of the time it is a pretty helpful solution. But when I'm trying out touch prototypes (like this one) it induces a problem. I am not able to flick anything.
For me this makes it difficult to quickly test the flow of prototypes, where flicking (all touch based prototypes with any kind of scrolling or paging) on my Mac.
Since the three finger drag is located in the Accessibility area of the System Preferences, adding an "Enable flicking" would actually fit.
How could it work?
So the idea behind this is, that a clever software—which has yet to be written—detects if the last drag was flick or a drop. This could be done through a combination from the latest average speed and the acceleration of the drag movement. Possibly manually setting some kind of sensitivity threshold would make sense.
That would mean, if you go slowly (e.g. dragging a file around) and releasing, it would time out and detect it as a drop. On the other hand, when a movement accelerated in the last frames before releasing, it would be triggered as a flick.
Of course this idea would need some proper testing and evaluating. This is a first shot, which does not take in account all edge cases that I did not think of. Furthermore I did not try out the latest trackpad technology. So maybe it is solved there already.
And maybe nobody else has this problem and I should update to a newer MacBook with a shiny trackpad.
Thanks for reading!
