Shania Twain Debuts New Video For 'Life's About To Get Good
Shania Twain Debuts New Video For 'Life's About To Get Good
by Brent Furdyk:
The first single to be released from Shania Twain's new album now has a new video to go along with it, with the release of the video for "Life's About to Get Good" from her new album, "NOW".
It's a song of triumph over heartbreak, and while the tone is jubilant the lyrics are raw, honest and emotional.
"I wasn't just broken, I was shattered/ I trusted you so much, you were all that mattered," she sings in the first verse, with the second verse even more gut-wrenching. "The longer my tears fell, the wider the river/ It killed me that you'd give your life to be with her."
RELATED: Shania Twain Releases Emotional New Single 'Poor Me'
But in the song's chorus, Twain leaves all that behind. "Life's about joy/ Life's about pain/ It's all about forgiving and the will to walk away. I'm ready to be loved/ And love the way I should/ Life's about, life's about to get good."
"I'm a songwriter first. That absolutely drives everything. It was a big step toward independence. I pushed myself, knowing it was going to scare me and knowing that I, alone, was responsible for however it turned out," says Twain of being the sole songwriter on her new album.
"I love collaborating, but I didn't want any emotional, psychological, or musical influence," she adds. "The minute you invite somebody into that space, you're influenced. And then it wouldn't be me. It wouldn't be pure. This may be the purest work I ever do."

The city of Seoul will be greatly reinforcing support for the descendants of independence activists who sacrificed and devoted themselves to the nation's independence. The city will be supporting the descendants who are economically challenged with the aim of providing them with honorable and stable lives through respectful treatment and support, in order to compensate for the commitments of their ancestors.
The independence activists here refer to the martyrs and patriots defined in the Act on the Honorable Treatment of Persons of Distinguished Service to Independence. According to the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, the number of independence activists is 15,454, and the number of their descendants currently living in Seoul is estimated to be about 17,000. The number of individuals of distinguished service to independence still living and residing in Seoul is 10 patriots and their average age is 95.
Unfortunately, in many cases, the economic hardship was passed down to new generations, rather than the honor and pride, because their families became financially poor through their dedication to the independence movement. As the economic hardship obstructed the opportunity for education, the education level of later generations became lower than that of the independence activists (57% with at least a high school diploma). Seven out of ten activists and their descendants (74.2%) earn less than KRW 2 million a month.
Seoul has prepared the legal foundation to support these persons of distinguished service to independence through the First Patriots and Veterans Comprehensive Plan (announced in 2012), the first of its kind developed by a local government, and increased the number of patriot and veteran benefits from one (veterans honorary benefit) to four.
The city is set to reinforce the honorable treatment, including financial support, by establishing the supporting policies for descendants of independence activists. Starting in January 2020, "life-supporting benefits for independence activists" will be launched to offer support of KRW 200,000 per month to about 3,300 low-income households with descendants of independence activists, providing substantial economic aid.
The special provision of public rental housing for descendants of independence activists will be expanded by providing an additional 178 houses, which is 5% of houses built in Godeok-dong, Gangil-dong, and Wirye. The move-in period for these houses will start in 2020. 1,900 independence activists and their prioritized families will now be offered a water bill reduction of 10 m3 per month and an 80% parking fee reduction in public parking lots in Seoul.
The Independence Activist Scholarship will be established targeting the students (living in Seoul) attending universities in Seoul as fourth to fifth generation descendants of independence activists. The purpose of this scholarship is to enable academically talented descendants of independence activists to study without worrying about tuition, supporting a total of 100 students with KRW 3 million per person.
With Independence Day just around the corner, Seoul announced the plan for honorable treatment and support reinforcement for descendants of persons of distinguished service to independence. Following the First and Second Patriots and Veterans Comprehensive Plans (in 2012 and 2018) through which the city largely enhanced the honorable treatment of patriots and which is directly related to the stability of their lives, including the benefits, residence, and medical expenses, the city has separately prepared the plan for the independence activists and their descendants in celebration of the 100th anniversary of March First Movement and the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. By 2022, KRW 73.1 billion will be invested in ten projects in the three categories of ① stable life support, ② inspiration of honor and pride, ③ and reinforcement of honorable treatment.

Blog entry by Alex Sender
Perú: Unidentified Flying Object at Pampa Galeras
This photograph was taken last August (2016) by my friend Victor Velasquez, a respected biologist and anomalies investigator, at Pampa Galeras, a wildlife preserve in the heights of Ayacucho, 4000 meters above sea level, on the road linking the cities of Puquio and Nazca (Ica).
Víctpr was engaged in field work that evening, taking advantage of the location's conditions to take photos of the night sky. He would be greatly surprised later, when reviewing the photos taken that night, becoming aware of the presence of a strange, orange-hued, disk shaped object.
An analysis performed on the original photo file (taken with a Canon EOS 60D) clearly shows a disk-shaped object with a smooth surface, having a flattened base within, and a brightly-glowing core. It should be noted that this part of the Andean Zone bordering Nazca and Puquio has been noted for a number of UFO reports.

The Master X Master closed beta registration is now live for the beta starting on April 6, so sign up for a chance to test out this new MOBA from NCSoft!
Here is some interesting news that I noticed via Rock Paper Shotgun this morning. Apparently NCSoft is diving into the MOBA genre with Master X Master (I guess this was announced last year but I didn't hear about it). Better yet, the Master X Master closed beta registration is already live!
I guess the world just really needs another MOBA. At least, NCSoft clearly thinks so. Master X Master will feature the typical range of heroes to choose from, and in this case some of them will be drawn from NCSofts catalogue of games (it worked for Blizzard!). This is where the news gets particular interesting, because one of the revealed Masters is none other than Statesman himself, the iconic NPC hero from NCSoft's now defunt City of Heroes. Sigh…CoH was one of my earliest MMORPG dives, and I miss those days. Ah well, at least Statesman will live on, although he not be thrilled to live on in a MOBA.
In any case, if you are interested in testing yet another MOBA, you can find the Master X Master closed beta registration form here. The Master X Master closed beta is slated to run from April 6 to April 27, and you can read more details here. Check it out!
As always, Death by Beta is committed to keeping you up to date with the latest alpha and beta testing news. Please follow us on Twitter and check out our Facebook page in order to get the latest news as soon as it hits, and don't forget to sign up for The Death List above! Feel free to send us an email with any comments or feedback via our Contact page, or leave a comment below.

I'm drawn to drawing all things Egyptian of late. Perhaps that's due to my partiality to turquoise or my admiration of the formal qualities of these artifacts. Or perhaps my imagination is consumed with the romance and adventure of an archeological dig at the turn of the century. Perhaps it's all of these things and many more.

About this book
The rapid development in the surgical treatment of fractures during the past 9 years has necessitated considerable modifications to the first edition of this book. Numerous new implants and instruments are presented in this, the second edition. In 4.0-, 3.5- and 2.7-mm screws the hexagonal socket has definitively superseded the Phillips head, while mini-implants have been modified and a 1.5-mm screw introduced. A number of new plates and implants have been introduced and have long since proved their value. At the same time new techniques, described here, have been developed and applied. The tension-band wire is included, despite the fact that it does not consist of specific AO implants, and use of the Kirschner wire is also illustrated and emphasized whenever the authors consider that this simple method is still the best available. Alterations in the organization of the book have been necessary: the shoulder, the forearm and the knee are treated in separate chapters, and other sections have been extended. With regard to clinical-radiological examples, new typical situations are described and documented. The case studies from the first edition have been recontrolled in all instances in which it was feasible to do so. In this way many valuable late results, 9-12 years after internal fixation, were obtained. We found that almost all joints had remained stable after healing of an articular fracture; so-called late arthrosis is rare in the peripheral skeleton.
Instrument Osteosynthese fixation fracture implant knee shoulder

Uncertainty is the snappiest of titles, nor will it probably convey what I mean. But it's just a heading to pull together some topics that could be thought of as helping to address uncertainty.
Anyone spending time in QA will need to become familiar with statistics, probability and risk – that's not to say these are subjects you have to like, of course, but they're subjects many of us struggle to really understand. I'm trying to do my bit to help, (if only to force me to think things through); posts in that vein will be archived here. Just use the above menu to navigate.

Omaha woman living in Warren Buffett's old house rents home
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha school teacher Nancy Monen had an unusual guest come to her residence — hoping to see the "little room" off the upstairs master bedroom.
The famous man, and his well-known children who accompanied him, were enchanted by the small sun room as well as the rest of the 101-year-old house they'd lived in six decades ago. They took photos and waxed nostalgic during that visit earlier this year.
And before he left, the dad scribbled something on the arched door of the little room: "The birthplace of Buffett Associates May 1956."
He signed his name, Warren E. Buffett.
It paid off for Monen — who, for the first time a few months later, rented her residence at 5202 Underwood Ave. to a trio attending the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, often called the Woodstock of Capitalism.
Monen reaped $3,000, and is considering hiking the fee next year to spread the wealth to a charity. She's thinking an auction format might work best, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
"I'm crazy not to capitalize on that," Monen said. "Warren would want me to."
The World-Herald tracked down Monen, a special education teacher for the Omaha Public Schools, after the Berkshire chief executive brought up the house reunion during a recent interview about lodging and other aspects of the annual meeting.
Buffett recalled the "little room" of the Underwood house as the workspace where, in his mid-20s, "the first partnership was started."
He also pointed out the $175 monthly rent he paid back in 1956 — quipping that, in comparison, Monen "did pretty well" on the fare she received over the 2019 Berkshire weekend.
Monen said she was unaware of the Buffett connection when she toured the two-story Tudor 15 years ago. She said she always adored the wood-shake roof and overall charm of the corner residence, and would have bought it regardless.
Soon, Monen, a native Californian, would learn it was the home that Buffett, his first wife, Susan, and their small children lived in after returning from New York. Some of the history is captured in Alice Schroeder's book, "The Snowball, Warren Buffett and the Business of Life."
Says Buffett in that book: "I had about $174,000, and I was going to retire. I rented a house at 5202 Underwood in Omaha for $175 a month. We'd live on $12,000 a year. My capital would grow."
Despite that publicity, Monen recalled just one touristy episode on her watch. A Japanese man stopped by as she was working outside. "So I'm thinking, maybe it's not that big of a deal," she said of the home's past.
That is, until the recent visit by the Buffetts: Warren and two of his children, Susie and Howard.
Susie Buffett laid the groundwork for the reunion, Monen said. The two women are acquainted through the neighborhood and the high school their kids shared, and Monen said she was happy to oblige.
It was a snowy day, Monen recalled, and her employer had canceled school when the Buffetts pulled into her driveway. Almost immediately, she said, they asked to go upstairs.
In addition to three bedrooms and the little office, the second floor has a wrought-iron balcony that overlooks the living room. Schroeder's "Snowball" book recalls Susie as a child being convinced that the "glasses man" lurked by the balcony that was just outside her bedroom.
The book described how Buffett had to inspect the balcony nightly and reassure his daughter that it was safe to go to bed.
Much of the Buffetts' reminiscing on that snowy day was centered on the little office, Monen said, which now serves as a hub for her small antique sales business.
A snapshot of her with Buffett, taken on the day of the visit, sits on a shelf.
"They were so cool," Monen said. "They weren't in a hurry and were here quite a while."
Monen is sure the recently inscribed message upped the appeal to Berkshire loyalists seeking a place to stay during the meeting weekend.
Three California women who stayed two nights in May told Monen that they loved their first visit to Omaha Berkshire festivities. All portfolio managers, they had connected with Monen through a mutual acquaintance and spent some off time lounging in her garden.
Also a Berkshire shareholder, Monen said she is grateful for the opportunity to have shared time and memories with the Buffett patriarch and local billionaire.
The business magnate autographed the annual Berkshire report for granddaughter Audrey. And, Monen said, he wrote a note to her 13-year-old neighbor, her cat sitter who she called over to meet her guests.
"It's been fun," Monen said. "And I like what it's done for the value of my house."
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. owns the Omaha World-Herald.

GIVEN the wealth of medical knowledge we have at our fingertips nowadays, why anyone would willingly take up cigarette smoking is perplexing to say the least.
Let's forget for a moment the exorbitant cost of a packet of cigarettes nowadays – the health impact is alarming.
Smoking-related diseases kill almost 15,000 Australians a year. That's 40 people every day. And men are the most likely to die – 9700 men die a year compared with 5200 women.
Cancer is the leading cause of tobacco-related deaths in men at 57 per cent. It's marginally lower in women at 51 per cent.
Lung cancer accounts for three-in-four cancers in men (72 per cent in women). It causes the most cancer deaths in this country and that's mainly caused by smoking.
Last week the state government released details of a discussion paper based on recommendations from the Tasmanian Health Council.
One of those recommendations was to increase the minimum smoking age in Tasmania to 21 or 25.
That's an ambitious target, and it is retrospective, meaning people currently 18 and upwards wouldn't be banned overnight if any such plan ever eventuated.
But there is a definite problem in Tasmania when it comes to smoking cigarettes. We're disproportionately represented in those smoking figures. Tasmania boasts, if you can use that term, the second highest rate of smoking in Australia at just under 18 per cent. Only the Northern Territory is higher at 20.9 per cent.
Then we can throw in the cost to society. Yes, cigarettes are already heavily taxed, raking in between $5 and $6 billion a year in taxes.
But that's minuscule compared with the costs to the country – $31.5 billion in social and economic costs, including to our health system.
With that in mind, any recommendation or plan to reduce the number of people who smoke, no matter how ambitious, should be given due consideration.

Making Money With Bitcoin: 33 Super Helpful Q&As [January 2018]
Has it been difficult for you to find everything you need about bitcoin in one place… including all the tips for making money in the bitcoin world?
If so, that's the reason why we put together a bitcoin 'investment' guide with 33 critical questions that you should be able to answer prior to placing your bet on bitcoin. Today we are making this 'investment' guide available to our army of 88,290 Finstead fans.
What you'll find in this guide are some fundamental questions about bitcoin (in case you're not very familiar with it), along with a few related money making tips.
A word of caution: bitcoin is a speculation-on-steroids at this point in time. Think hard and use your judgment before putting any money into it, and be ready to lose all of your 'investment'.
Courtesy: New York Times
This guide has three sections:
- The Fundamentals—in this section you'll be able to find answers to questions such as: what is bitcoin, what is bitcoin mining, is bitcoin is a fad, and where to find bitcoin price information and price charts;
- How To Trade Bitcoin—here we'll address how to buy bitcoin, how to open a bitcoin wallet, and how to sell bitcoin;
- Making Money On Bitcoin—in this final chapter, we'll discuss 'money making' tips for bitcoin, bitcoin stocks, bitcoin ETFs, shorting bitcoin, bitcoin futures, 'best' cryptocurrencies for 2018, and bitcoin mining profit potential.
Our research is all summarized for you so you don't have to spend copious hours trying to answer simple questions. So let's start with the fundamentals.
1. What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a system that allows for the storage and transmission of units of value, acting similarly to paper currency. It uses cryptography and the blockchain technology to make transactions secure.
There are thousands of different cryptocurrencies today.Bitcoin has become the most established one. It is the first, the most valuable, and the most popular cryptocurrency thus far.
If you'd like to learn more about bitcoin, we recommend watching the video below.
2. What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are a general name for bitcoin-like systems. You can think of cryptocurrencies as a form of digital money designed to be secure and anonymous in most cases.
Just like bitcoin, cryptocurrencies use cryptography and the blockchain technology for securing transactions and preserving the anonymity of their traders.
3. What is cryptography?
Cryptography is a process that converts legible information into an uncrackable code. It's used for purchase tracking, cryptocurrency transfers and preserving the anonymity of cryptocurrency traders.
4. What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a public ledger of all cryptocurrency (bitcoin) transactions. Blocks in blockchain refer to a growing list of cryptocurrency transaction records. Blockchain allows market participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central recordkeeping.
By design, blockchains are resilient to data modification.
5. What are the most popular cryptocurrencies?
The 10 most popular cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin are Etherium, Bitcoincash, Ripple, LiteCoin, Cardano, Nem, Iota, Dash, Eos, and Monero.
Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Ripple that are used more for enterprise solutions are becoming increasingly popular.
7. Is bitcoin just a fad and going away?
There is no question that bitcoin is a bubble, but it is here to stay. Its price is likely to fluctuate wildly.
The question is, how many of other cryptocurrencies will emerge as leaders, and how many will die?There is a growing competition in the cryptocurrency space, and some of the coins will inevitably have to go away.
8. Will Bitcoin become mainstream, i.e., widely adopted across the globe?
It's hard to say. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts believe that Bitcoin will eventually replace fiat currencies like US dollars.
Others, however, argue that cryptocurrencies that have a limited number of units like Bitcoin won't be used for this purpose. That's because as more people use the cryptocurrency, the value will increase, which incentivizes users to save rather than spend.
9. What is cryptocurrency mining/bitcoin mining?
It's a process used for 1. Adding and verifying transactions to blockchain (the public ledger) and 2. Releasing new currency.
The mining process involves compiling recent transactions into blocks and trying to solve a computationally difficult puzzle.
Mining needs a computer and a special program, which helps miners compete with their peers in solving those difficult computational puzzles. It requires significant computational resources and it can be very expensive.
11. Where can I check bitcoin price (or any other cryptocurrency price)?
There are a few sites that provide real-time bitcoin price (i.e., cryptocurrency prices). The one that may be the easiest to use is WorldCoinIndex.
12. Where can I find bitcoin market cap data?
You can check cryptocurrency market cap data on WorldCoinIndex. Also, another site that's easy to use and has market cap data is Cryptocurrency Market Capitalizations.
13. What are the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges (i.e., bitcoin exchanges)?
Trading cryptocurrencies occurs on dedicated exchanges such as GDAX, Kraken, Bitfinex, and Gemini. These exchanges typically offer solid volume to trade cryptocurrencies through bank transfers or credit cards.
Coinbase is a popular option because of its ease of use and a built-in wallet. However, Coinbase has somewhat higher fees, and the selection of cryptocurrencies is limited.
Poloniex is another exchange that offers more than 80 cryptocurrencies for trading, but you can only use Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies to fund the trades.
14. What's the easiest way to buy bitcoin?
Here is how you can buy bitcoin:
- Find a bitcoin wallet, a place to store bitcoin until you are ready to spend or exchange it for another currency. For beginners, we recommend Coinbase.
- Choose a bitcoin exchange platform. Coinbase is the most obvious suggestion for people buying their first bitcoin, because it's simple to use and allows you to store your bitcoin.
- Decide how you want to pay for bitcoin. Bank account and credit card transfers are accepted by most exchanges. Wire transfers work from time to time, and PayPal transfers may not be allowed. Coinbase will allow for all these payment methods.
- Buy a bitcoin, use it and sell it when the time is right. You can use Bitcoin for purchases—and the number of stores accepting bitcoin is expanding. Because of pronounced price fluctuations, it's important to have an end-game plan when you buy bitcoin. Set up a seller account now.
15. What's the quickest way to sell bitcoin?
The simplest way to sell your bitcoin is through an exchange platform. Whichever platform you choose, the process for selling bitcoins is pretty much the same.
First, you will need to create an account and a wallet with the exchange (e.g., Coinbase) and link your bank account with it. Next, you will send your bitcoins there.
Once your coins have been deposited, you can place a sell order, which means your bitcoins will be sold at the market rate.
After the sale has been completed, the funds in the currency you specified will be transferred directly to your linked bank account, at which point you can withdraw it as you wish. Note that you will usually be charged a small fee for using bitcoin exchange services.
16. What's a bitcoin wallet (i.e., a cryptocurrency wallet)?
A bitcoin wallet is a software program used to store, send, and receive coins. Most coins have an official wallet or a few officially recommended third-party wallets (such as Coinbase).
In order to use any cryptocurrency, you will need to use a cryptocurrency wallet.
17. How does bitcoin wallet work? Is it a real wallet?
A bitcoin wallet is not a real wallet. It's a digital wallet that issues a secure, private key (code) that only you and your wallet should know about. That private key is a proof of ownership of a public key, a digital key known to the public that basically says you own a certain amount of cryptocurrency.
Your bitcoin wallet stores your private and public keys, allows you to send and receive coins, and also acts as a personal ledger of transactions.
18. Which bitcoin wallet should I use?
If you are new to cryptocurrency, you may want to sign up for a service like Coinbase (which handles a wallet, trading, and exchange with one checking or credit account). You can keep Bitcoin, Etherium, and Litecoin in Coinbase, but not other cryptocurrencies at this point in time.
If you have an interest in altcoins other than the 3 above, you may want to use a universal wallet such as HolyTransaction that can be used for any currency, or an officially endorsed wallet for any given coin.
Here are the officially endorsed wallets:
- For Bitcoin it is Bitcoin Core Wallet;
- For Litecoin it's Litecoin-QT;
- For Ethereum use either Ethereum Wallet or MyEtherWallet.
19. I've heard really smart people like Chamath Palihapitiya say bitcoin is going to be worth $1 million in the next 20 years. Should I follow recommendations by such smart people?
Here is what you should know about Chamath. He was one of the biggest early investors in bitcoin. He initially bought the cryptocurrency at about $100, so he's already made a plenty of money on it.
Second, sources say his net worth is around $1 Billion. For rich people like himself, it's OK to lose a fraction of their wealth. They consider this their "play money", not an investment in the traditional sense of the word. They will still be fine financially if they lose their entire Bitcoin investment.
If you feel like you are going to be totally fine even if you lose your entire bitcoin 'investment', then maybe should buy Bitcoin.
If you think you'll be kicking yourself over this decision, hold off and don't buy it now!
20. What advice would you give to someone interested in investing in bitcoin/cryptocurrencies?
There are a few things you should know:
- Bitcoin is one of the most speculative assets out there. Prices are likely to swing widely. If you decide to 'invest', make sure you have the stomach for it.
- Forget about getting rich quickly. Most likely it won't happen to you.
- Beware of groupthink and self-proclaimed experts. Youtube videos, Reddit comments, and Stocktwits can all be very entertaining and sometimes educational, but the last appropriate source of investment advice.
- Don't think you're late to the game and you have to buy bitcoin now. Acting based on panic thinking the price will climb to $100K is foolish. What would you do if you knew the price would move the opposite direction to $100 instead?
- Don't spend more than you can afford to lose. Invest only your 'play' money: the money you spend on stuff you don't need. This is not meant to be a replacement for your retirement / 401K.
Just remember a famous quote by Warren Buffett: "Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful."
Courtesy: New York Times
21. What share of my assets should I put in bitcoin?
If you're OK with losing all of your bitcoin money, then you should set a limit on the share of your investment portfolio to put into it. The higher your net worth, the larger percentage allocation you maybe be able to afford.
If the value of your investment portfolio is $100K or less, we don't recommend putting more than 1%. If your investment portfolio value is over $10M, you might be OK with 10%.
Whatever your percentage allocation is, please understand this is your play money, subject to extreme volatility. It can easily double, or completely vanish in the near-term.
22. How much money can you make mining bitcoin / other cryptocurrencies in 2018?
You can expect to generate a small income (perhaps a dollar or two per day) mining bitcoin. The hardware cost you need to invest in for mining (~$1000) can be paid off in 18-24 months.
The profit from mining bitcoins can become more significant if you invest a significant chunk of money ($3000-$5000) in up-front hardware costs. In such cases, you can potentially earn $50 per day or more.
You can make a profit from bitcoin mining if you invest a solid amount of money in your mining 'gear' and you dedicate time to it. If you don't have the time or the money, mining may not be right for you.
23. Is it possible for bitcoin price to drop significantly? If so, under what circumstances?
There are several ways in which bitcoin value could drop precipitously:
- Algorithms and security—there is no mathematical proof that the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are actually secure. They are believed to be secure because nobody has been able to break them after many years of intense scrutiny.
- Regulatory actions—bitcoin could be heavily regulated, limiting the rules about who can invest in it and under what conditions. In the extreme cases, it can be completely outlawed. Just remember that SEC halted PlexCoin on charges of being an ICO scam, and it suspended trading in The Crypto Company over stock manipulation. And South Korea is talking about a potential shutdown of at least some cryptocurrency exchanges to stamp out a frenzy of speculation.
- Market manipulation—a recent Bloomberg report disclosed that a group of 1000 investors own 40 percent of all Bitcoin. These big investors are often referred to as the whales. If some among them are acting in unison, they could manipulate the market to their whim. The whales could sell off at record highs, drop the market to record lows, and then buy back in.
- Lack of utility—few cryptocurrencies currently serve a purpose that benefits the average consumer more than cash does. With a few exceptions, cryptocurrencies are more difficult to use for everyday transactions, meaning many in the market are there for speculative investment. If there is no clear benefit to consumers, speculators will ultimately back off.
24. Under what conditions can bitcoin realistically reach $150K in the next 12 months?
If bitcoin were to reach $150k in value that means its market cap would be over $2.5 Trillion, which is larger than the GDP of the United Kingdom (or France or India for that sake). If that happened, there is a pretty good chance some serious issues in the prevailing economic regimes would occur that would cause people to lose faith in the fiat currency.
Ask yourself: do you expect the prevailing economic regimes to go down next year? If you anticipate some serious issues in the world economy in the next 12 months, perhaps you can bet on bitcoin reaching $150K this year.
25. Bitcoin is so expensive. Should I be looking at buying other cryptocurrencies because Bitcoin is priced so high?
First of all, you should understand that all trading cryptocurrencies is a speculation, not an investment, at this point in time, more akin to gambling than investing in mutual funds or real estate.
The question you're asking sounds a little bit like: "Should I play blackjack or craps if I don't have $100 for poker?" But there is a caveat. When it comes to trading cryptocurrencies, you don't have to buy a full bitcoin. Instead, you can buy a fraction of it.
You should buy those cryptocurrencies that you understand and believe in. If Bitcoin is the only currency you understand and value, then stick with it, regardless of what the price is. If you don't understand any of them, perhaps you can skip them all together.
26. Should I use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) when buying bitcoin?
First, let's explain how DCA works. It is an investment methodology where you invest a fixed dollar amount on a schedule regardless of the current market price, averaging out your buy-in price over the lifetime of an investment.
The advantages of DCA are 1. automating an investment strategy; 2. 'protecting' against one-time losses; 3. taking emotions out of decisions.
DCA makes sense when you expect the value of an asset to go up over a longer period of time. It protects you against short-term losses that might be incurred by lump sum investing during downtimes.
When it comes to bitcoin, you have no idea how the asset will perform over time. You don't know whether it will grow or decline.
With highly speculative assets like bitcoin, what we recommend you do instead is, set and write down your 'investment' strategy upfront. Articulate how much money you will invest over what period of time, in what chunks of money and under what conditions.
Don't do blind DCA because buying bitcoin is not an investment. It's more akin to playing poker in Vegas, for which you'd need to have a really good strategy (and a lot of luck) if want to win.
27. What is the best cryptocurrency to 'invest' in 2018?
This question sounds somewhat similar to which lottery is the most lucrative to play (e.g., Powerball, scratch-off instant game, raffles or something else)?
We don't endorse any cryptocurrencies. If you're interested what cryptocurrencies 'pundits' are speculating and why, here are a few insights for you:
- Bitcoin is touted because of the fixed number of units in circulation and Bitcoin miners that are perceived as key to Bitcoin security. It's also the most mainstream cryptocurrency. Despite skepticism, numerous industry insiders believe that Bitcoin is here to stay, and it's slowly adopted throughout the world.
- Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Speculators argue that this cryptocurrency has all the potential to overcome Bitcoin. Ethereum has surpassed Bitcoin in terms of the number of transactions, and large institutions such as JP Morgan Chase and Microsoft have gotten behind it. See the chart below on Ethereum growth (courtesy of ValueWalk).
- Ripple is a real-time money exchange for large banks, and a remittance network built on blockchain. It's viewed as a scalable digital asset enabling global payments. Ripple works with regulators, as opposed to around them. Ripple is a venture-funded company based in San Francisco, founded by a serial entrepreneur Chris Larsen.
- Litecoin was created to manage some of the flaws in the original Bitcoin protocol. Introduced back in 2011, Litecoin is almost identical to Bitcoin in terms of features. The value of this coin is derived from the user adoption.
- IOTA is believed to have one of the biggest potentials to human life change. This cryptocurrency is concentrated on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) transactions. This cryptocurrency is quite different from other digital currencies since it is not even based on the blockchain system.

28. One investment strategy I'm wondering about is to buy currencies that are going to be listed on Coinbase (which is a proof that they've gone mainstream). That way I'll buy them before they're available to a broader population, and hopefully make a profit. Is this a good strategy?
OK, so this question sounds somewhat similar to, should I buy a stock that's about to get listed on NYSE (assuming I have access to private markets)?
So it really depends on the fundamental value of a coin. If you think the coin strategy and differentiated and it has a potential to attract much more capital, you might want to gamble on it.
The fact that Coinbase is listing a cryptocurrency is not a proof of success. In fact, it may turn into a complete flop, just like many IPOs have. For every Google or Facebook out there that grew 10x since the IPO days, there is a Snapchat or Blue Apron.
So be careful about thinking that a cryptocurrency listing on Coinbase is a proof of success.
29. Should I be investing in public companies that have capitalized on the cryptocurrency movement? Like Riot Blockchain or Overstock.com?
First, let's acknowledge that single stocks are typically a very risky investment.
Now let's look at Riot and Overstock. Shares of Overstock.com have surged more than 300% in the last six months as the company announced it would enter into the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.
Riot Blockchain was formerly a small biotech company, which only recently announced it would incorporate blockchain technology into its business. The company, formerly known as Bioptix, changed its name to Riot Blockchain in October -- and instantly saw a surge in its share price. The stock soared over 500 percent in the last three months.
Cynics argue that public companies lacking investors' attention are getting into crypto in hopes of attracting a market spike. They resemble companies that saw their stock prices shoot up if they simply added a "dot com" to their names.
If you don't understand cryptocurrencies and you're not a blockchain fan, you should stay away from those companies. If you understand the ins and outs of blockchain, and totally endorse Riot's and Overstock's business strategy, then maybe you should invest. Just remember that those companies had a meteoric price rise in the recent history, so you'd be investing near the all-time high.
30. What should I know about Riot Blockchain before investing in it?
Until October 2017, Riot had nothing at all to do with Bitcoin or blockchain technologies. The company was known as Bioptix, which was a micro-cap biotech firm. They went through layoffs in January 2017 and a CEO change in April.
Their main goal had been to commercialize medical diagnostics instruments and IP related to the technology they were focused on, Enhanced Surface Plasmon Resonance.
In October 2017, Bioptix renamed to Riot Blockchain and disclosed a 12% stake in Canadian cryptocurrency exchange Coinsquare.
Since then the stock skyrocketed.
31. What does the debut of bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange mean for individual investors? Should that sway my thinking around whether to buy bitcoin?
Since the announcement of bitcoin futures on December 10, 2017, there was a major run-up in bitcoin. This certainly caught investors' attention. You might have heard that Goldman Sachs is setting up a bitcoin trading desk.
Let's first talk about what futures are. A futures contract allows investors to buy or sell a certain amount of a commodity at a predetermined price at some known point in the future. Typically, futures contracts can change hands many times until the settlement date.
Bitcoin futures allow institutional investors, who previously might have been barred from getting on the crypto action, to make an active position on the market; they could take both long and short positions with futures, which means the price can swing widely.
What that means for you is that you should expect to see even more volatility in bitcoin, since now all institutional investors can put their large chunks of money to work. If the price starts falling past a bubble, it may fall much faster than one had originally envisioned.
So if you fundamentally believe in bitcoin, you should still gamble on it. Just be ready for a rocky ride.

32. How can short bitcoin or bet against bitcoin?
We'll give you some ideas on how to bet against bitcoin and blockchain. Note—not all the ideas are easy to implement. Like with any shorting, please exercise your judgment; you might lose your investments really fast.
Here is our top 6 list to bet against bitcoin (some direct, some indirect ways):
- Bitcoin margin trading. Many crypto exchanges allow this type of trading, with margin trades allowing for investors to borrow money from a broker in order to trade. Try BitMex, AVAtrade, or Plus500 to short bitcoin.
- Futures. In a futures trade, a buyer agrees to purchase a security with a contract which specifies when and at what price the security will be sold. If you buy a futures contract, your sentiment is that the underlying security price will rise. However, if you sell a futures contract, your core belief is that bitcoin will decline in price. Selling futures is a great way to short bitcoin—and check out OrderBook.net for buying and selling bitcoin futures.
- Prediction markets. In the bitcoin world, they have not been around for a long time. These markets allow for investors to predict that bitcoin would decline by a certain margin or percentage. If anyone takes you up on the bet, you'd stand to profit if the event comes true. Predictious is one of the most popular bitcoin prediction markets.
- Short stocks with a significant blockchain exposure. Such stocks are Overstock.com (OSTK) and Riot Blockchain (RIOT). Both of these are already heavily shorted stocks, and you'll need to find a brokerage that is willing to borrow you some shares. Our suggestion—try Interactive Brokers.
- Short stocks that indirectly benefit from crypto-mining. The two stocks that are most frequently mentioned in this context are AMD and Nvidia. AMD already warned that crypto-related demand may be flattening.
- Buying 3x inverse semiconductor ETFs. It's no secret that a recent run-up in bitcoin was preceded by a lot of crypto mining activities, from which the semiconductor industry profited. However, when the profit opportunity from mining vanishes, a downturn in the already cyclical semiconductor industry is inevitable, at which point you may want to invest in an inverse 3x semiconductor ETF, such as SOXS.
33. Should I buy bitcoin ETFs instead of bitcoin, if I'm interested in cryptocurrencies?
It depends.
Cboe Global Markets filed to list six bitcoin ETFs in December 2017, but none of them are available to buy yet:
- First Trust Bitcoin Strategy ETF
- First Trust Inverse Bitcoin Strategy ETF
- REX Bitcoin Strategy ETF
- REX Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF
- GraniteShares Bitcoin ETF
- GraniteShares Short Bitcoin ETF
The ETFs allow traders to bet on cryptocurrency futures: both long and short.
ETFs are a convenient investment vehicle. Buying bitcoin ETFs is arguably easier than signing up for a crypto wallet and an exchange account, and trading the actual bitcoin.
The ETFs also allow you to take a short position on bitcoin.
However, you should know that bitcoin ETFs may not track the price of bitcoin on exchanges. Also, bitcoin futures (that bitcoin ETFs depend on) are new and could be less liquid and more volatile than other markets. And finally, rolling bitcoin futures could have a negative impact on ETF performance.
So if you're OK with those bitcoin ETF downsides (e.g., tracking errors, a potential lack of liquidity), the ETFs may be a convenient way to bet on or against bitcoin.

Bank Capital Requirements: Federal Banking Agencies Propose Capital Rule Simplifications to the Standardized Approach Calculations Applicable Primarily to Non-Advanced Approaches Banking OrganizationsSullivan & Cromwell LLP - October 4, 2017
On September 27, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued a proposed rule that they describe as simplifying compliance with certain aspects of the agencies' capital rules. The proposed changes would apply only to standardized approach calculations and, except for revisions to the treatment of acquisition, development, and construction exposures, the proposed changes would apply only to banking organizations that are not subject to the advanced approaches capital rules. The key proposed changes relate to the regulatory capital treatment for mortgage servicing assets, certain deferred tax assets, investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions, and minority interests. These changes would both simplify the calculations and have the impact of increasing regulatory capital ratios for some non-advanced approaches banking organizations. The proposed changes also include revisions to the treatment of acquisition, development, and construction exposures that are designed to address concerns regarding the current definition of high volatility commercial real estate exposure under the standardized approach. The agencies also propose what are described as "additional clarifications and technical amendments" applicable to both advanced approaches and standardized approach calculations by all banking organizations.

It's said that 90% of the world's data has been generated in the last 2 years. Mind-boggling volumes of the stuff is being generated every second – 24/7, thanks to the internet, social media, mobile devices, worldwide press, sensors and transactions.
It's hardly surprising that it's making more and more sense to be served tailored information, products and social content that we're actually interested in, as we don't have time to curate the vast amount of data or browse endlessly for products by ourselves.
At Webcredible, we're seeing a more customised experience online as standard, and most of our projects contain some element of personalisation nowadays. Indeed, the 'single customer view' is a part of every digital strategy I've been involved with over the past couple of years. I believe this will amplify sharply in the next few years and beyond.
In some recent customer research we conducted for two well known UK brands, I was not surprised at how receptive the consumers we interviewed were to the concept of receiving tailored content online – but what did surprise me was how comfortable they were with the idea of giving away their data, preferences and behavior in return for it.
Some participants were still adamant they want to guard their privacy online and hide as much as they can from prying eyes, but when questioned more closely, a few admitted that they would like to see information or offers relevant to them.
Interestingly, they often caveat that they've already experienced attempts at this that fell short of true relevancy. For example, we've all seen online ads for stuff we just bought yesterday.
Clearly there's a level of sophistication missing in many attempts at marketing and it's easy to see how it might be hard to plot behaviour patterns for customers without some seriously intelligent algorithms and then some.
Indeed, the 'single customer view' is a part of every digital strategy I've been involved with over the past couple of years.
However, big data is here to stay, it's our ability to collect and interpret it now that is the challenge. Privacy and security ethics must also be an significant factor to consider, the Silicon Valley giants have a stranglehold on us and we're addicted to their products – Google, Facebook, YouTube and so on, which I believe inures us to other organisations collecting data on us more covertly. That doesn't make what they do right, however I won't go into that particular debate here.
Younger consumers and those in developing economies care much less about privacy than those who are older and in Western countries: "almost two thirds of consumers aged between 18 and 34 'don't care about privacy' "(UK Research by Coleman Parkes)
Suffice to say, within a legal framework, all businesses must address this user expectation. In order to do this we must win customers' trust and tell them how they will benefit from this transaction of personal data.
In this way we can move towards ensuring that we provide the right content, in the right format and at the right time, which will allow us to keep our customers happy and stay relevant in the market.
In part 2 I'll go in to more detail and look at some examples. In part 3, I'll look at the implication for a business's content strategy.

[VJ] Whatcha gonna do when the RIAA launches a DoS on you?
All of this is simply incredible.
The fact that they were trying to get this written into a pending antiterrorism bill is disturbing and should lead us all to wonder what else is pending in this bill.
The replies on the message board are priceless, with many people and hackers challenging them to do this and threats to the online subscription services they plan to start.
[url=http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20011016/tc/riaa_we_ll_smother_song_swappers_1.html]RIAA: We'll smother song swappers[/url]
Song Swappers already have a workaround
Those non-Napster alternatives for mp3's are really pretty painful to use anyway. Napster really hit the nail on the head and solved the problem beautifully.
But now I notice people just listing their catalogs on web pages, and you send them an email asking for the ones you want and they mail them back. I'm talking thousands and thousands of these "song lists".
Google and the other search engines help you find the tunes, and like Napster, you're never sure about what you're going to get or the quality, but mp3's are still being traded openly this way.
However, I did read how the RIAA also wants to be able to scan everybody's hard-drive from the Internet whenever they want, looking for anything that *might* be copyrighted and delete it right off your computer, without your knowledge. Yes, they really did propose this to Congress and to Microsoft and also the hard-drive manufacturers, who they want to install firmware that prevents ANY mp3 content from being stored, just in case it might be something they own.
The real battle is not over mp3's but rather movies (or more precisely DVDs), which the entire entertainment industry is rapidly converting over to, because it's a lot (and I mean a lot) cheaper than the traditional analog media to make and distribute.
It's so much better that at least one major Studio has been flying some guys all over the USA to install theater-size DVD projectors practically for free! If the plan succeeds, then nearly all major motion pictures in USA theaters will be shown from these giant DVD platters, which eventually will be recorded directly from satellites at the theater the day before.
Or at least that's what my users tell me

I watched The Jane Austen Book Club today, and it got me thinking, I have not read nearly enough Jane Austen novels. I had not even heard of them all before watching the movie (which I enjoyed, especially Emily Blunt with an American accent). My summer goal? To read every Jane Austen book ever written. Oh, and to end world hunger.
I am going to reread Pride and Prejudice and Emma, because I read them a very long time ago, probably trying to look far more mature than I was, or currently am. Then I will finish the other four, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.
Now all I need to do is find four other emotionally screwed up females, and one sensitive boy so that I can form a productive book club. Sign ups begin next week.

The beauty of Italy – my late Grandmother's birth country – never ceases to touch my heart. This photograph of Riomaggiore in The Cinque Terre, taken by James Brandon, can be found on the fantastic website of the ever-amazing Twisted Sifter. Thank you Twisted Sifter and James – very much appreciated 🙂
In this stunning sunrise capture by James Brandon, we see the village of Riomaggiore in the famous Cinque Terre region of Italy. Brandon recalls:
"Out of the five little villages in the Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore is probably the most quaint as well as the most dramatic. This image was made at sunrise and was manually blended together from three separate exposures. A quick exposure for the sky, a long exposure for the town to capture the starbursts in the light sources and another quick exposure to freeze the boats in place in the water."
Riomaggiore is a village in the province of La Spezia. It is the first of the Cinque Terre and the most southern of the five villages which are all connected by trail.
The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion…

The Coyhaique region of southern Chile is a place of stunning beauty with big mountains, thick forests and rolling farmland. To the east is a semi-arid steppe and to the west is a temperate rainforest that lies along the coastline. But in between is an angler's paradise of lakes, rivers and streams that teem with trout.
Coyhaique River Lodge was established to treat anglers to what many feel is the best fishing in all of Chile. The lodge takes anglers to the Simpson, Nirehuao, Paloma and Emperador Guillermo rivers, as well as many smaller streams on private land.
The attractive lodge facility is a short walk from the banks of the Coyhaique River. Eight anglers can spend a week here and not fish all of the waters offered in the program.
Shorter stays are available, but why leave this fisherman's paradise early?

The Allentown Diocese developed a new position to combat clergy abuse. Pamela Russo who is a highly qualified and licensed social worker with past experience with child welfare and abuse issues was placed into the role as Diocesan Secretary for Youth Protection and Catholic Human Services. Previously, she held positions with Catholic Human Services, Catholic Charities, and Catholic Social Services. Her new responsibilities include monitoring and improving abuse prevention programs as well as helping clergy abuse victims and survivors in reporting incidences of abuse and applying for compensation funds through the Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program. She plans to review current policies in place regarding child safety and victim assistance and make improvements as needed.
While the creation of compensation funds for clergy abuse victims and survivors appears as a remedy, it still does not hold the actual perpetrators of the abuse accountable. If survivors apply to the program and receive compensation, they may not pursue further action against the abuser or the Catholic church. This may seem like a panacea for some, but for others, it will never erase the turmoil they face on a daily basis.
If you or someone you love suffered from clergy abuse as a child, we will ensure your concerns are heard and justice will be served. Please call our Allentown clergy abuse lawyers at Williams Cedar at 215-557-0099 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation with a caring attorney. We represent clients throughout Allentown, Scranton, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Greensburg, Johnstown, Erie, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre from our offices in Haddonfield, New Jersey and Philadelphia.

Strandhill, one of the most stunning seaside villages in Ireland, will be front and centre for this year's St Patrick's festival celebrations, as Mass for St Patrick's day comes live from the Sligo location on RTÉ1 at 11am.
The village at the western edge of Sligo Bay has a close association with St Patrick, who is believed to have established a now-ruined church in the area.
The broadcasting team, led by Kairos Communications, have been hard at work with the unique challenge of the church building leading to the decision to use specialised film industry balloons to light the interior. The church, which is dedicated to St Patrick has been renovated over the years and the influence of the ancient site at Killaspugbrone is evident throughout the church in its decoration and in the words of Patrick sculpted into the walls.
"Strandhill church is a beautiful setting for the Mass and we really want to do justice to it," said producer Fr Finbarr Tracey. "Working along the Wild Atlantic Way for St Patrick's day is a treat for all the crew as Strandhill is such a spectacular backdrop for the day."
