It is no longer arguable how YouTube TV App Has Been Freezing Up on Smart TVs Everywhere. Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner and that means 2 things; family and TV. A lot of users have been kicking out cables and moving to online services for their TV needs.
And unfortunately for YouTube TV users, Thanksgiving Day could be under threat as YouTube TV service seems to have some technical issues.
YouTube TV Has Been Freezing Up on Smart TVs Everywhere
Over the past few days, users of various smart TV platforms have been sending reports that YouTube TV app, not just the stream was freezing in the middle of playback. Getting this to work again involve exiting the app and having to restart it from the home menu.
TV fans on Reddit have reported this issue on their smart TVs (like Samsung, Sony, LG), streaming boxes (such as Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, Apple TV, Nvidia Shield), and game consoles (PS4m PS5, Xbox One) alike Oddly. But this technical issue does not seem to affect smartphones and tablet users.
Roku Freezing Issues
Although the issue affects YouTube subscribers with all types of hardware, it was first heard in the context of Roku users in particular. And this sounds like they are having a specific hard time about it.
A common troubleshooting step for technical issues like this would be to remove the YouTube TV channel from Roku device and reinstall it. But it is just not possible as things stands today.
YouTube TV App Unavailable on Roku Channel
AS Roku and YouTube are still feuding, this has left the YouTube TV app to be unavailable on Roku Channel Store for months. But Google has used a clever method in the standard YouTube app to keep the service available to both new and old users.
This new method won’t seem to last, as the standard YouTube app is due to be removed from Roku next month. Fortunately for YouTube TV members, the issue seems to be subsiding. Reports from problems on Downdetector peaked have returned to baseline levels. Meaning the YouTube TV app will be a work in progress and members will be able to slide in the entertainment platform this celebration months.

Photos of Sumako Matsui, the Most Famous Japanese Actress of Modern Western Plays in 1910’s
松井須磨子 (November 1, 1886 - January 5, 1919)
Sumako Matsui was not only loved most by the majority of the Japanese people but also hated or despised most by some of the Japanese ruling class or the social or political establishment.
In 1909, Sumako began her study of the theory and practice of Western plays at Bungei Kyokai (the Peripatetic Literary Association), where she also began her actress career as a role of Nora in Ibsen’s Doll’s House performed in 1911. After the performance a tremendous social and political debate arose for and against the ‘new’ way of life-style of women.
Sumako soon left the association in 1913 due to the romance with Hogetsu Shimamura, who was a professor of Waseda University. Sumako then entered into the Geijutsu-za (the Theatre Group of Arts), organized by Hogetsu. The group produced the performance of a Russian play, based on the original novel of Leo Tolstoy and dramatized by Henry Bataille. Hogetsu translated and adapted the work for the Japanese audience and Sumako acted the role of Kachusha in the performance. The traveling performances of Resurrection all over Japan made her highly popular especially because of the singing of Kachusha's Song in the play. And Sumako acted several leading roles such as Ophelia, Salome, Lady Macbeth and Anna Karenina on the stage of Western and Japanese plays in a variety of cities and towns all over Japan. The following is the list of these plays.
Their last was a tragedy. Hogetsu died of the Spanish flu on November 5, 1918, which induced depressed Sumako to commit suicide by hanging in two months after his death.

The Irgun was a Jewish underground organization, founded in 1931 by a group of Haganah commanders, who left the Haganah in protest against its defense charter. The Irgun rejected the “restraint” policy of the Haganah and carried out armed reprisals against Arabs, which were condemned by the Jewish Agency. Many of its members were arrested by the British authorities; one of them, Shlomo Ben Yosef, was hanged for shooting an Arab bus.
Avraham Stern viewed the British, more than the Arabs, as the primary enemy of the Jews and the principal obstacle to Jewish independence. He advocated an armed struggle against the British. With David Raziel, he compiled a manual on the use of the revolver, the first of its kind in Hebrew. In 1933, he wrote the poem “Anonymous Soldiers,” which became the anthem of the Irgun (and, later of Lehi).
In 1934, Stern was sent by the Irgun on missions to Poland and other European countries to purchase weapons and arrange for their shipment to Eretz Israel. In 1935, he obtained the first two Finnish submachine guns, shipping them in double-sided boilers. Other weapons were transported in suitcases and crates belonging to immigrants. Stern concluded an agreement with the Polish government in 1938, and arms acquisitions were accelerated. The weapons were transferred under Polish army supervision to Irgun warehouses in Warsaw and then shipped to Eretz Israel.
Stern was responsible for recruiting manpower and acquiring money. He also assisted at times in the landing of immigrants on the shores of Eretz Israel.
In April 1937, during the Arab riots, the organization split—about half its members returned to the Haganah. The rest formed a new Irgun Zeva'i Le'umi (abbr. Etzel), which was ideologically linked with the Revisionist Movement and accepted the authority of its leader, Vladimir Jabotinsky.
On March 15, 1939, the Irgun radio network Kol Tzion HaLokhemet (“Voice of Fighting Zion”) began broadcasting news and messages to the people the organization wanted to disseminate.
Following the issuance of the British White Paper in May 1939, the Irgun entered a new phase with a series of attacks against British military installations and personnel and members of the police force.
On September 5, 1939, Raziel was arrested by the British along with Stern and members of the Irgun high command. Raziel was released in October and issued a proclamation of ceasefire and intention to cooperate with the British for the duration of the war in August 1940. Stern vehemently opposed tempering the resistance and formed a radical splinter group that came to be known as Lohamei Herut Israel (Lehi).
In 1943, Menachem Begin became the leader of the Irgun. In February 1944, the group declared war against the British administration. It attacked and blew up government offices, military installations, and police stations. The Jewish Agency and the Haganah moved against the Irgun in a campaign referred to as the “Hunting Season.” The Irgun joined the Jewish Resistance Movement and, after its disintegration in August 1946, the group continued attacks on British military and government objectives.
After British troops invaded the Jewish Agency on June 29, 1946 (
Black Sabbath), the Irgun decided to target the King David Hotel where the British military command and the British Criminal Investigation Division (CID) were based. Ignoring warnings to evacuate the building, 91 people were killed and 45 injured when the bombs planted by the Irgun exploded on July 22. Fifteen Jews were among the dead.
In April 1947, four members of the organization were hanged in Acre prison. On May 4, 1947, the Irgun broke into the prison and freed 41 prisoners. In July 1947, when three Irgun members were executed, the group kidnapped and hanged (on July 30) two British sergeants.
British Sergeants Hung by the Irgun
Irgun radio broadcasts ceased the day Israel declared its independence (May 14, 1948).
In August 1948, the newly formed Israeli cabinet voted to issue an ultimatum telling the Irgun to join the IDF (thereby losing their own organizational identity) or force would be used against them. The Irgun high command offered to disband the organization and integrate its members into the army of the new Jewish state.
Prior to that, however, the Irgun attempted to land a ship laden with arms on the beach in Tel Aviv. David Ben-Gurion was afraid the Irgun would be a threat to the new government and ordered the cargo to be confiscated. When Begin objected, Ben-Gurion ordered the ship, the Altalena, to be taken by force. Begin used the Irgun radio to urge his fighters not to resist after Ben-Gurion ordered the sinking of the Altalena. In the course of shelling, the ship caught fire and the Irgunists were forced to abandon the ship. Sixteen Irgun fighters were killed in the confrontation with the army, which lost three soldiers.
Afterward, Ben-Gurion ordered the arrest of 200 Irgun fighters. Most of them were released several weeks later, with the exception of five senior commanders (Moshe Hason, Eliyahu Lankin, Yaakov Meridor, Bezalel Amitzur and Hillel Kook), who were detained for more than two months. Following a public campaign on their behalf, they were released on August 27, 1948. Shortly thereafter, the Irgun was fully integrated into the IDF.

How to Enhance Vegetable Quality Control for Potatoes
Although potatoes are a carbohydrate, they are botanically a vegetable, and subject to all the same vegetables quality control methods and challenges of any other vegetable. That means that for growers, marketing companies, wholesalers, and retailers – optimizing potato harvesting and potato quality control is super important. A high quality potato, and that usually means firm potatoes, large potatoes and those without visible or internal potato defects, will boost profits, and help you to keep good relationships with your buyers, no matter where you land on the value chain. However, today’s potato quality control methods are largely manual, non-standardized and limited to what can be seen with the human eye.
That’s where Clarifruit can support your business, using AI and computer vision technology to provide a consistent and accurate fruit & vegetables quality control process for stakeholders working with potato crops, whether that’s at the farming and growing stages, all the way through to retailers looking to delight the end customer.
Common Defects when Growing & Harvesting Potatoes
The following defects are the ones that are most likely to affect potato quality across the supply chain:
Common Quality Attributes for Growing and Harvesting Potatoes
The following internal and external potato attributes are commonly used for quality evaluation:

Entrepreneurs looking for businesses for sale can benefit by working through a broker.
Brokers are not necessary for any sale and they are not only for Sellers. Some brokers work exclusively with buyers and are paid by buyers, not sellers.
What about the money side of things? The buyer working through a business broker may spend more money for the business as a seller not paying a commission may have a lesser price tag than otherwise. The buyer may also find that the business is incorrectly valued, higher or lower, if a broker is not involved. The buyer working with a buyer’s broker will pay the broker and have the advantage of buying the business at the right value. The broker can provide perspective on price/value that the buyer does not have or appreciates perspective on. But, frankly, there are no guarantees on money one way or the other.
Why else would a buyer looking for the right business for sale prefer to work with a broker? A broker provides the value of an intermediary for difficult negotiations. The broker has a professional responsibility to disclose critical information (they are aware of) about the business. The broker can bring forward a number of businesses for sale meeting the requirements of the buyer, reducing the time to find such a business. The broker can provide proper forms to work through the process of offers and due diligence. The broker provides perspective on value, operations, fit for the buyer, and opportunity looking forward.
And, as I have said before
Some great purchases are made from the perspective of both sides without brokers.
whether a broker is used or not when selling a business, it is wise to engage an attorney and an accountant on both sides of the transaction, buyer and seller. A broker can help to reduce professional expenditures but cannot serve as such a professional consultant unless they are professionally licensed.
It is good to note that the person who pays the broker is the person to whom the broker owes their primary duty, though they should be honest and fair to all. Some brokers represent only buyers and are paid by the buyer.

Sympathetic nerve blocks are an effective procedure in controlling chronic back pain. In this therapy, the sympathetic nervous system is targeted; a series of nerves spreading out from the spine to the body in controlling some involuntary bodily functions or those functions in which you have no control. These are blood flow, digestion, sweating, opening and narrowing of blood vessels.
How is it performed?
- During the procedure, the patient will be asked to lie on an x-ray table
- The skin around the injection area is cleaned and it is numbed with anesthesia.
- X-ray guidance will be used by the doctor to directly insert the needle at the targeted site.
- Slowly and gradually anesthesia will also be injected.
Who are the candidates?
Patients who are suffering from the following are candidates for this treatment:
- Nerve (neurogenic) pain
- The constant burning pain of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in the arm or leg
- Coccydynia (tail bone pain)
- Facial or pelvic pain
How long it takes?
The entire procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Firstly, the patient is monitored from 30 to 60 minutes in case of any pain related issues. He/she is instructed to take a day off after the treatment is performed. After this, normal routine may be resumed as tolerated by the patient.
Patients experience pain relief after the procedure and there is also a progressive increase in the interval between when blocks are needed.

Previously, Insta has said this feature would only be available when using the optional dedicated Bluetooth remote. However, on December 25, they made a surprise announcement to make the feature available with no additional accessories. You simply need 360 camera stabilizer connect your One X to your phone wirelessly, and the GPS data from your phone will be used to provide the data for the overlay.
See the sample video below. Freecapture As with the Insta One, the One X can capture video and allow you xiaomi yi action camera 2 360 camera stabilizer it as a non video where you choose the perspective. Viewfinder lets you hold the phone as a virtual camera with stabilization. Pivot Point lets you use keyframing to change the view smoothly.
gopro playback choppy Overcapture videos without stitching The One X is one of the very few cameras that enables editing without stitching. Specifically, you can create an overcapture 360 camera stabilizer without having to first stitch the video. This not only saves time and storage space, but can also 360 camera stabilizer the quality of your resulting video by compressing the video only once — during the final render.
For a tutorial of this feature for both Insta Studio 360 camera stabilizer Adobe Premiere, see below. Multiview As with the Insta Nano S, the One X can put a picture-in-picture overlay with independently panning perspectives. The live stream resolution is up to x Freecast live streaming in freecapture or tiny planet mode The One X can live stream in 360 camera stabilizer mode where the live streamer can change iccontechs action camera view in realtime during the live stream.
In-camera video montage NEW! The desktop app does not yet stitch 360 camera stabilizer as of launch date, so instead you would need to stitch the 3 shots separately and then fuse them using your preferred HDR software. See below for sample HDR shots. This feature is now available. Insta opted for a sensor with slightly lower resolution but with larger sensels for better low light performance. Wireless live preview NEW! You can now get 360 camera stabilizer live preview wirelessly, unlike the previous generation Insta One which dogs favorite things wireless control but had no live preview unless it was connected to the camera.
Removable battery NEW! In-camera editing Improved In addition to preset filters and to a skin-smoothening beautifying 360 camera stabilizer, photos and videos can be edited in the app, enabling you to adjust exposure, contrast, saturation and other settings. The edits are nondestructive and are reversible. Underwater case with smooth stitching NEW! There are now several cameras that can be used underwater, but very few of them can record smoothly stitched underwater photos and videos.
Water refraction changes the effective focal length of lenses, decreasing their field of view significantly. The Insta One X has a dedicated underwater case called the Dive case, with spherical lenses that negate underwater refraction.
With the Dive case, the One X will be able 360 camera stabilizer stitch underwater photos and videos smoothly. See the sample videos below for a link to sample underwater videos.
You can use the One X in rough environments with an optional protective hardcase accessory. The case is not designed to be used underwater.

Remote activation NEW! With your 360 camera stabilizer you can turn on the Insta One X remotely. This is useful if the One X is away from you on a gopro video editor android, such as near a stage, while you are in the audience.
This does drain the battery faster, even when the One X appears to be off, but a future firmware update will let you choose whether to keep Bluetooth on, or turn it off when the camera is on standby.
As of February gopro side helmet mount, this feature was partly disabled to extend the battery life. Lastly, another improvement that is perhaps worth mentioning is that the One X has a metal tripod hole, unlike the plastic tripod hole in the Insta One.
Insta One X can create Boomerang-like loop animations.
To use the feature, trim your video to 5 seconds or less. Here is a sample:. You can take a non photo from a video. This enables the user to take a photo with the exact composition that they want by shooting a video, then extracting the photo from it.
Alternatively, users can use this feature to capture a highlight from their video. Windows online chat support use this feature, simply reframe the video, hit the snapshot button a dotted squareand the One X app will generate a non photo framegrab.
You can view Insta One X photos and videos in a headset wirelessly, with no stitching or copying required.

Ultimately, cheap action camera with good image stabilization matters is how the photos and videos actually look.
Here are sample photos and videos from the Insta One X firmware 1. Here is a non-HDR photo cmera comparison: Here is an HDR photo: You can then import the photos into Photomatix and fine tune the contrast, tonality and 360 camera stabilizer values. Here is a sample 5.

Point the stitch line away from your subject or important parts of the scene. Avoid uneven exposure: Use HDR Video mode to get better dynamic range. A secret tip to make editing easier is to be aware of stagilizer front of the camera the side with the LED screen Save your edits in the One X app by periodically exiting to the gallery screen.
A shortcut for overcapture without keyframes is to point the front lens to your subject and to use direction hold. Turn a 360 camera stabilizer into a photo by using Insta Studio desktop app. Use an equirectangular view and press the snapshot button near the play button. Get a non photo from your video using the Snapshot feature on the One X phone app or Studio desktop app.
If the app freezes, just close it and restart. Time saving tip: No need to wait for the downloading to finish. Render videos faster on your phone by turning off the power saving mode on your phone. Add a counterweight to your monopod to avoid it getting toppled over. Insta One X is one of the few cameras with support for Raw photos.
It can not only take photos in Raw format, but can also stitch them in Raw Insta Studio Beta version 3.
From these 360 camera stabilizer, you can 360 camera stabilizer that the highlight range of the Raw how do i upload songs to itunes is much greater than that of the JPG file look at the point where highlights are blown from the sun. Another benefit is that 360 camera stabilizer Raw file 360 camera stabilizer far less chroma noise compared to the JPG file.
The Raw file also has more detail. For example, in the low light crop, you can see clearly see the horizontal bars of the utility poles in the distance, which are almost invisible in the JPG crop. One issue with the One X Raw files as of November 1 is that they must be tinted at maximum magenta in order to appear normal.
On December 5, Insta posted a firmware 360 camera stabilizer 1. Please note you need to download 1. Here is a sample and comparison:. HDR Video is exactly what it sounds: This enables the sensor to capture a wider dynamic range than would otherwise be possible.
In the sample video, we can see that 360 camera stabilizer HDR video can capture a much wider highlight range. However, shadow range does not appear noticeably different.
360 camera stabilizer There is some confusion as to whether HDR video can be used without a tripod. The supposed concern is that because HDR video takes multiple exposures, that any movement stbailizer appear as ghosting in the video.
360 camera stabilizer I tested HDR video while moving 360 camera stabilizer found no ghosting or blur in bright light. It is possible that people complaining about blur in HDR video cameea are seeing motion blur from a slow shutter speed in low light. You should not hesitate to use HDR Video even when the camera why is my camera upside down in motion, as long as there is enough light.
In the in-camera menu, HDR 360 camera stabilizer is a new mode that you can switch to by holding down the shutter button, which cycles to bullet time, time lapse video, and Cameda video before going back to normal mode.
There is also a new HDR video mode in the updated smartphone app. Here is the most detailed comparison between the One X and the GoPro Fusion, with 40 factors compared. Part 1: Video quality 1. Detail 2. Chromatic caera 3. Flare resistance 4.

How does the One X compare to the Fusion and other cameras? I used the video splice app comparison tool to compare them side by side for both videos and photos.
If you look at the bushes toward the back, you can see that more leaves are visible on the Fusion, suggesting that Fusion has higher resolution. But if you look at the lines on the side of the shed, they are more easily distinguishable in the ONE X sample, showing it has higher acutance:.
On the 360 camera stabilizer hand, toward the stitch line, the One X has substantially more detail than travel accessory kit Fusion the Fusion has a sudden drop in sharpness near the stitch line. If your priority is consistent sharpness throughout the frame, the ONE X would be better than the Fusion. With respect to dynamic range, the Fusion appears to have noticeably 360 camera stabilizer dynamic range than the One X.
The Fusion has a slow motion video mode, with a resolution of 3K at 60fps. I compared it against the One X at 4K 50fps and 3K fps. For photos, in my opinion Fusion has also been the best overall 360 camera stabilizer for consumers because its detail is almost as good as that of the Xiaomi Mi Sphere reviewed herewhile having far greater dynamic range.
This is despite the Fusion having camera pole mount nominal resolution of only xlower than several other cameras.
360 camera stabilizer compared photos from the One X and the Fusion and found that when viewed 360 camera stabilizer the 360 camera stabilizer viewing size, the ONE X and Fusion are similar, although the Fusion has very slightly more detail resolutionwhile the ONE X has higher edge android reset bluetooth acutance.
As for dynamic range, Fusion has more dynamic range acmera JPG mode. Note further that GoPro Fusion can sometimes drift the heading gradually turns toward one direction. Insta Famera X has far more features than the Fusion, and is easier to use as well. Among the features that the One X has that are not available on the Fusion are the 3K fps mode, Drift Shot, Time Shift, a smooth-stitching underwater case, GPS overlay with the Bluetooth remote vamera or a smartphone and more.
For practicality, one advantage of the Fusion is that it is waterproof even without a case. However, cmera One X has two waterproof housings available. The Fusion has slightly 360 camera stabilizer detail for videos, and noticeably better dynamic range for videos. Moreover, ONE X 360 camera stabilizer more consistent sharpness throughout the frame.
At the same time, the One X is almost half the cost of the Fusion, and has far more features such as the very useful 3K fps slow motion, Drift Shot, and Time Shift. Accordingly, in my opinion, assuming Insta can fix the HDR Video mode, I believe the One X is a better overall camera than the Fusion, and is therefore probably the best camera for consumers as of October I compared the One X with the 360 camera stabilizer 7 for hyperlapse: The Insta One X has many advantages over the Hero 7 for hyperlapses: The Hero 7 is more cajera, but the detail is not readily observable with micro sdhc memory card 64gb fast motion of 360 camera stabilizer hyperlapse.
Therefore the Insta One X is better than the Hero 7 for hyperlapses. With the 5. This is not due to overheating but due to the unique file structure of the ONE X to enable 360 camera stabilizer at 5. Tony Northrup stabiluzer a review of the ONE X with several criticisms that are partly correct, but partly incorrect.
In trap or die 3 best buy review, Tony Northrup said if you use the Insta Studio to stitch the video, then stabilizee stabilization will not be good, and the stitching will be poor. What 360 camera stabilizer said is true only for the older version of the Insta Studio software. But on October 8, Stsbilizer made a functional version available, which not only stitched smoothly at up to mbps but could stabilize well.
The sample video I posted above was stitched with Insta Studio desktop software and you can see the stitching is seamless, and the stabilization is smooth. Many bugs have already been resolved e. For example, as of October 22,there is still no support for HDR video, which was one of the key features advertised. For those who are experienced shooters, this is par for the course, but for new shooters, it can be disconcerting.
It will feel like you are a beta gopro 4 silver used. Rest assured, however, Insta does respond very quickly and pushes out frequent updates to 360 camera stabilizer and the apps. In addition, the Insta ONE X has gopro wireless password of the 360 camera stabilizer tradeoffs of cameras compared to non cameras: In exchange, with the field of view, you have far better stabilization and the freedom to choose the perspective in postprocessing.
Second, like most other cameras, you will need to stitch the photos and videos. On the plus side, the ONE X desktop app does allow batch exporting which makes it easier to stitch. Third, using handbrake video quality to create overcapture non video is very useful but does add an additional vail snow camera in editing.
To me, this is not much of a problem. During video editing, you usually have to adjust the image here stabiliaer there anyway, and having the ability to change the view during editing is a benefit to me. The other 360 camera stabilizer I enjoy is the direct manufacturer replacement warranty on the gimbal. Where the ChargerCity gimbal was a simple mechanical tripod with a 360 camera stabilizer USB card reader, the Neewer NW-2AG is a fully-fledged electronic gimbal with Bluetooth capabilities and remote-controlled dual-axis motors.
This gimbal is suited to 360 camera stabilizer with phones with up to 5.

It has a Bluetooth-enabled remote control, so you can adjust the tilt and fake gopro camera, and it comes with a travel pouch for convenient storage when not in use.
It weighs 6. Unlike the 360 camera stabilizer two gimbals, the Hohem Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer works interdependently with your smartphone.

It has visual auto-tracking that adjusts the camera angle to follow the subject.

It has an innovative folding mechanism that makes it exceptionally compact and easy to store. It also features a samsung micro sd 64 power bank that charges your phone while it is connected. In addition, a four-way joystick lets you adjust the direction of your phone to get stabipizer perfect angle while filming. 360 camera stabilizer gimbal comes with a carrying bag and a micro-USB cable, and it weighs just under channel hovercraft ounces.

The E175 Enhanced (a step below the full re-engine) will improve fuel burn by 5%, says Tobias Caldas of Embraer at the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance. This includes a redesign winglet and other fuselage/engine PIPs.
Enhancements include new avionics, interior improvements, maintenance cost reductions and noise reductions. Aerodynamic improvements will be forthcoming on the E-190/195. The E1`70 will have a 5% improvement, the E175 will have 5.5%, the E190 3.5% and the E195 4%.
Republic Airways is the launch customer for E-Jet “E” and will operate the plane for American Airlines’ Eagle unit. The order brings the current backlog for the E-Jet to about 150. (Aerospace analysts have been concerned for some time about the shrinking backlog, with production rates exceeding a 1:1 book-to-bill.)
Embraer continues to promote the E_Jet as a right-sizing mainline aircraft in the 90-125 seat segment, with 3,765 forecast as a requirement in the next 20 years in this segment.
The re-engined E-Jet includes a new wing and the Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. EMB is calling the revised airplane the E-Jet Second Generation (E-Jet SG). EMB to formally launch the program this year, with EIS in 2018. The models and size are being defined (though our market sourcing says there will be an eight passenger stretch). EMB says there will be “double digit” fuel burn improvment.

Micky Neilson talked a bit about Dragon of the Aspects on Twitter, and responded our inquiry concerning the Titans, Yogg-Saron and Tyr the missing Ulduar Watcher (who is commemorated by the Order of the Silver Hand). Did that make you curious and thirsty for more? It’s only $1.99 for starters. You can back out without paying the full price of the 5-parts.
Uncertainty plagues Azeroth’s ancient guardians as they struggle to find a new purpose. This dilemma has hit Kalecgos, youngest of the former Dragon Aspects, especially hard. Having lost his great powers, how can he—or any of his kind—still make a difference in the world?
The answer lies in the distant past, when savage beasts called proto-dragons ruled the skies. Through a mysterious artifact found near the heart of Northrend, Kalecgos witnesses this violent era and the shocking history of the original Aspects: Alexstrasza, Ysera, Malygos, Neltharion, and Nozdormu.
In their most primitive forms, the future protectors of Azeroth must stand united against Galakrond, a bloodthirsty creature that threatens the existence of their race. But did these mere proto-dragons face such a horrific adversary alone, or did an outside force help them? Were they given the strength they would become legendary for…or did they earn it with blood? Kalecgos’s discoveries will change everything he knows about the events that led to the…DAWN OF THE ASPECTS
The former Dragon Aspects are on the brink of going their separate ways to forge new destinies. As Kalecgos ponders the uncertain future awaiting his kind, he uncovers a mysterious artifact that allows him to see through the eyes of his late predecessor, Malygos. Intense visions bombard Kalecgos, transporting him to a time when the original Aspects were no more than primitive proto-dragons. Across ancient Kalimdor’s northern plains, they fought for survival against each other and a terrifying creature that dominated the era: the Father of Dragons, Galakrond. But many questions remain for Kalecgos. What are the origins of this strange artifact? Are its visions a gift, or a curse?

I have never been much of a sports fan. Football is too rowdy and hockey is too cold. I go to baseball games for the hotdogs. But I have always loved the olympics. So when the summer games roll around I am glued to the TV. I refused to leave the couch during the opening ceremonies and have been staying up past my bedtime to watch the coverage. I'm sure my boss will be thrilled when my eyes are no longer drooping despite my several cups of coffee.
I think the thing I love most is the pageantry of it all. The athletes parading in during the opening ceremonies and the lighting of the torch. The medal ceremonies. The uniforms emblazoned with the colors of the flags. I'm also a sucker for those cheesy videos NBC plays to introduce the athletes.
Oh, and I wish I could do my make-up half as well as Aliya Mustafina. Because girl is fierce.

World Health Organization (WHO) issued a risk assessment on Monday warning its member states that “the likelihood of potential further spread of Omicron at the global level is high.”
“Given mutations that may confer immune escape potential and possibly transmissibility advantage, the likelihood of potential further spread of Omicron at the global level is high,” reads WHO’s technical brief to its 194 member states.
“Depending on these characteristics, there could be future surges of COVID-19, which could have severe consequences, depending on a number of factors including where surges may take place. The overall global risk related to the new VOC Omicron is assessed as very high.”
WHO advised its members to enhance surveillance and sequencing efforts to better understand circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron.
In its technical note, WHO highlighted considerable uncertainties, mainly on transmissibility of the variant and how well vaccines could protect against infection, transmission, clinical disease of different degrees of severity and death.

For years, the security community and regulators have been warning that things are starting to get serious and that “plausible deniability” for executives no longer exists when it comes to lapses in network security. Some heeded the warnings, most did not, and as a result we are starting to see the ramifications of a tougher emphasis on security.
Not only are executives facing increased scrutiny from authorities and Congress, but they are now squarely in the crosshairs of their own board members and shareholders who are frustrated and moved to action by any loss of value tied to security issues. While this is certainly not the first domino to fall, it may be the highest profile to date. The announcement within the last couple weeks that Target Corporation chairman and CEO, Gregg Steinhafel was forced to resign in response to a massive data breach was the proverbial “shot heard round the world,” and the C-Suite is directly in its sightline.
By all accounts that I’ve read, Mr. Steinhafel was an excellent executive who was respected by employees and investors alike. So if it can happen to him, it can surely happen to any executive, at any company, in any market.
The following is an excerpt from a Bloomberg Businessweek story on May 5, 2014.
Headline: As Data Breach Woes Continue, Target’s CEO Resigns
Target’s chairman and chief executive officer, Gregg Steinhafel, a 35-year company veteran, is stepping down, as the massive pre-Christmas data breach suffered by the Minnesota retailer continues to roil the company. The decision is effective immediately, according to a statement posted today on the company’s website. John Mulligan, Target’s chief financial officer, has been appointed as interim president and CEO.
Steinhafel “held himself personally accountable and pledged that Target would emerge a better company,” following the breach, the statement said. “We are grateful to him for his tireless leadership and will always consider him a member of the Target family.”
This is the type of headline that should get the attention of every executive in America. Nobody wants to see the career that they have built and cultivated go up in flames due to a data breach. While Mr. Steinhafel was the unfortunate example in this particular case, he may end up being one of the more important figures in the battle for cyber relevancy within corporations.
In a security career that spans more than 25 years, if there is one undeniable fact I’ve come to accept it’s that senior executives don’t respond well to potential vulnerabilities or statistics around what “could” happen. If you want to get their attention, you need to tie security activities to business operations and prove demonstrably that a large-scale security incident can negatively affect company value and jobs.
A couple of years back we conducted a third party survey that highlighted the disconnect that exists between the CEO and the CISO when it comes to making cyber security a priority for the organization. While everyone paid sufficient lip service to the issue, the data highlighted that security was still an undervalued and misunderstood element to business operations. In covering the results of the survey, All Things D referred to it as: Talking About Security Bores the Boss.
While companies have certainly made strides in this area since we initially released these results, we are still lagging behind where we need to be to ensure that these types of breaches don’t become the norm. Target may have suffered the highest price since the infamous TJX breaches several years ago, but they are far from alone on this issue.
The fall of a high-profile CEO due to security concerns makes me envision a scenario where security is now given a more prominent role on the executive team, with more emphasis placed on avoiding the breach in the first place rather than trying to conduct damage control after the fact.
It often takes a high impact incident to create change. I would imagine that upon hearing about the outcome of the Target breach, executive teams everywhere are giving serious consideration to adding a seat at the table for security and avoiding a similar fate.

2012 was always going to be a tough year for the England cricket team. With two subcontinent tours and a home series against the number two test team in the world, it's a tough line up, even without the added pressure of their recently attained number one test team status.
After what was arguably one of the best year's in England cricket history in 2011- winning the Ashes down under, test and ODI series victories at home against India and Sri Lanka along with their new lofty status - nobody could have predicted what was to come at the start of 2012.
It was the tour that England should have won. Pakistan were undisputed underdogs going into the series: their squad in apparent disarray, tarnished by the prosecution of three players jailed for corruption in the sport. However, they surprised everyone with their ruthless excellence throughout the test series in the UAE. Not since 1907 have a team won a test match when posting less than 100 in the first innings, a feat that Pakistan achieved to complete the whitewash in the final test.
They destroyed England, their weapon of choice: spin bowling, Ajmal and Rehman the spinning stars. So poor was the England performance against spin that 48 of the 60 England wickets during the series fell to spinners. Granted, this was partly due to the number of spinners fielded by Pakistan, but this offers a thin veil of excuse for the England top six.
It leaves plenty to prove in Sri Lanka for the England team as well as for individual players, not least the captain. Andrew Strauss was amongst those who struggled in the UAE against spin, giving all but one of his wickets in the series to twirlers.
Time to look forward for England however. If nothing else, their thorough turning over in the UAE may serve as a swift kick up the backside to the players and the management. An advance party travelled to Sri Lanka ahead of the main squad to adapt to conditions in the sub continent.
Newly appointed full time batting coach Graham Gooch and Strauss led Ian Bell, Steven Davies, Monty Panesar, Samit Patel, Matt Prior and James Tredwell in a training camp, involving concentrated work for the batsmen on playing spin.
No drastic changes emerged in the announcement of the test squad for Sri Lanka, that's not Flower's style. The omission of Morgan was a good decision. He has rarely looked a test player and, with only 98 runs in the limited overs games in the UAE (an average of 14) it could be argued that his test failures are having an effect on what has always been considered his forte. His decision to go the IPL in a few weeks will not help his cause for re-entering consideration for the test team. However, team director Andy Flower is not ruling him out completely. "I still think he has a very exciting future in test cricket for England," Flower said. "He's only 25 years old, and he's a very talented, confident and dangerous player. If he can get his game in order, and the next time he gets a chance in test cricket he grabs it with both hands, then he'll fulfill his wishes for his cricket career and England will be a better side for it."
Ravi Bopara, included in the test squad for Sri Lanka, is a player who fell out of favour but has come back stronger, both mentally and in his game. He must surely have his eye on the obvious hole left by Paul Collingwood in the test team; a batsman who is capable of a significant contribution with the ball. He may slot in at no6 if England choose to go with a 4 man bowling attack.
He'll be in direct competition with Samit Patel, who impressed enough in the limited overs games in the UAE to earn his debut test call up in Sri Lanka. Patel offers a stronger bowling option, and is a decent player of spin with the bat. James Tredwell is in the squad as potential cover for Graeme Swann, but unlikely to appear alongside his fellow off break bowler in the final 11.
The conditions in Sri Lanka will be more extreme than those of the UAE, a magnification of all the aspects that troubled England. Andy Flower sees that as a good thing: "It's nice to get tested in similar conditions straight away, that will test whether we have actually learnt some different skills and a different method against spin."
The bottom line is: if the England batsmen have not made vast improvements to their batting against spin, they face humiliation in Sri Lanka. England have to prove that they deserve their no1 title by competing against the top teams in all conditions, and with a consistency that was starkly lacking in the UAE. Although never a team to rest on their laurels upon achieving success (they moved on quickly from their Ashes victory last year with their sights on the no1 spot), it is now time to prove that achieving that top spot was not a more satisfying target than maintaining it.

It’s a Wonderful Life aired on television last weekend—one of its only 1999 broadcasts. Just a few years ago, the movie seemed to be shown on a different channel almost every day throughout the Christmas season. What changed?
U.S. copyright law determines who may distribute, display, or reproduce a film, a book, a drawing—essentially anything “fixed in a permanent medium,” as the lawyers like to say. Works not covered by copyrights–including ones with copyrights that have expired and those that never secured this protection—are said to be in the “public domain.” These works, like the near-ancient Sherlock Holmes stories and some of Charlie Chaplin’s silent films, can be reproduced, broadcast, and sold freely.
It’s a Wonderful Life entered the public domain by accident. In 1946, when the movie was filmed, U.S. copyright protection lasted 28 years and could be renewed for another 28 years by filing some paperwork and paying a nominal fee. However, Republic Pictures, the original copyright owner and producer of Wonderful Life, neglected to renew the 1946 copyright in 1974. So, the film entered the public domain. Though a box office flop on release, it became immensely popular on television thanks to repeated showings: Stations programmed it heavily during the holidays, paying no royalties to its producers, and more than 100 distributors sold the movie on tape.
Republic regained control of the lucrative property in 1993 by flexing a new Supreme Court ruling that determined that the holder of a copyright to a story from which a movie was made had certain property rights over the movie itself. Since Republic still owned the copyrighted story behind It’s a Wonderful Life and had also purchased exclusive rights to the movie’s copyrighted music, it was able to essentially yank the movie out of the public domain: It claimed that since Wonderful Life relied on these copyrighted works, the film could no longer be shown without the studio’s blessing. (Technically, the film itself is not copyrighted. One could hypothetically replace the music, rearrange the footage, and sell or show the new product–but no one has done this.) In 1994, Republic * signed a “long-term” deal granting NBC exclusive rights to broadcast the movie, and the network typically does so between one and three times a year.
Wonderful Life won’t re-enter the public domain for quite a while. Congress has repeatedly expanded copyright protections and made them effective retroactively. Most recently, at the behest of Disney and other large media corporations with soon-to-expire copyrights, Congress added 20 years to all existing copyright claims. They now stand at 95 years for copyrights held by corporations. (The copyright protection for individual writers and artists lasts 70 years beyond their deaths.) Thus, showings of Wonderful Life will remain limited well into the 21st century.
* In 1998 Republic’s parent company, Spelling Entertainment (a subsidiary of Viacom), sold the rights to Republic’s film library to Artisan Entertainment.

US (AZ): Microbial symbionts to enhance plant health and productivity
There are a gazillion fungi species which are benevolent and even critical for the plant life on which human sustainability depends, and some of them are even edible. Well, perhaps not gazillion but an estimated 5.1 million species of fungi are projected to exist, and chances are many more will be discovered with time and molecular techniques. So, inasmuch as there are so many kinds of fungi, many people are needed to study them.
Betsy Arnold, based at the University of Arizona, is not only one of these people…but she leads a small army of fungiologists (or is it mycologists? Ask Prof. Pryor) to discover fungal biodiversity. In trying to understand who Betsy Arnold is, one needs to look online to discover that she is a multi-faceted humanist, scientist, hiker, animal lover, and above all a people person (just look at the rich and varied array of pictures filled with her team).
From high school students, to Native American students at Dine’ College, to world-wide collaborators, to her lab team members at the UofA, Dr. Arnold balances the social and the scientific with a laser-focus on her research objectives: “to study ecological and evolutionary aspects of plant-fungal symbioses”, using “classic microbiological methods, ecological sampling techniques, molecular tools, and the robust framework of phylogenetic biology”.
To carry out this wide-ranging spectrum of research, the Arnold team conducts lab work and extensive field research in areas “ranging from Arctic tundra to lowland rainforests” and focuses on topics that range from bacterial symbionts of fungi to the effects of soil-borne molds on tropical forest dynamics.
In a seminar, Betsy will share with us her latest discoveries and her recent sojourns in exotic places, and in so doing will engulf us with her enthusiasm and passion using interdisciplinary approaches to answering challenging biological questions.
The CEAC Covering Environments Seminar will be held Friday, January 26th, from 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM in the CEAC Lecture Room.
A networking, get acquainted session, with light refreshments, will take place between 3:45 to 4:15 pm at the CEAC lecture room (1951 E Roger Rd, Tucson). A Q&A period will follow the talk.
If you are unable to attend in person, the seminar series will be available via the web. Register here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7230800068494262531

The colonization exhibition explores the ongoing process of colonization in Australia which in many ways is stronger today than when the first fleet arrived. I explores the brutality of the colonizers along side the suffering and resitance of First Nations people. In particular I explore my own complicity in all of this. My own current economic security is directly related to the historical theft of the land and as part of the wider Australian society I have to accept responsibilty for: the disadvantages faced by First Nations people today; for the policies of successive past governments which have tried to annialate, segregate and assimilate First Nations people; and for the terrible racism that still pervades in our society. I wanted also to highlight what white society has missed out on by not paying attention to and learning from First Nations culture and knowledge, in particular in relation to caring for Country.
The painting below about the arrival of Captain Cook was part of "The Goat Stand" exhibition and it was this painting which was the stimulus for this exhibition. It lead to coping and reformulating several famous Australian paintings to change their Narrative and recognize the place of First Nation people. These paintings are the first ones shown in the gallery

A probing look at influential women in fashion history.
In her follow-up to Fashion That Changed the World (2014), Croll chronicles more than 40 women throughout history who, either by vocation or influence, have proven “fashion is anything but frivolous.” With the aid of archival photos and Buchholc’s spirited illustrations, Croll unveils rounded portraits of 10 fashion “bad girls” and spotlights a few dozen more who learned—many at a young age—“how tactical fashion can be” in “shaping opinion” and “challenging the status quo.” Croll’s “style rebels” range from present-day pop icons Lady Gaga and Madonna, legendary fashion editors Diana Vreeland and Anna Wintour, and Black Panther radical Angela Davis all the way back to Cleopatra, who became pharaoh at the tender age of 16 and carefully styled herself in the likeness of the goddess Isis. To show how fashion can be used to one’s advantage, Croll points to gender-bending Marlene Dietrich, clad in suit and tie, as well as Marilyn Monroe, who had a cobbler shorten one of her heels to exaggerate the swing of her hips. Overall, the scope and variety of Croll’s subjects compellingly present women as powerful arbiters of—rather than slaves to—fashion.
Richly detailed and engagingly written, Croll’s captivating study is sure both to enlighten and embolden fashion-minded youth. (index, bibliography, further reading) (Nonfiction. 10-17)


When he was just a kid growing up in Vallejo, Nickolas P. Tooliatos II spent a lot of time walking the city's hills on his paper route and playing baseball across town.
"I've left some skin on those fields," said Tooliatos, now a major general and the commanding officer of the 63rd Regional Support Command of the U.S. Army Reserve.
Tooliatos was the keynote speaker during Monday's Memorial Service in Vallejo, held at the monument of war dead that stands in the park between City Hall and the Mare Island Strait. In his remarks, the St. Vincent High School graduate discussed the origins of Memorial Day, which first emerged in the days after the Civil War as a way for the newly reunited nation to commemorate the war's casualties.
"As we stand here today, we have a great deal to be thankful for," Tooliatos said, expressing gratitude not just for veterans, but also for current service members.
More than 200 people attended the standing-room only event, causing Mayor Osby Davis to again issue his challenge of having attendees return next year with one more guest to further grow the ceremony.
"I am encouraged by the number of people that are with us," Davis said.
Davis also expressed disbelief and anger at recent reports that revealed Veterans Affairs employees may have been lying about long wait times at the their hospitals.
"It's unacceptable. It is unacceptable," Davis emphasized, adding that adequate healthcare, education and jobs were just small tokens of appreciation that the country could give to returning veterans.
Davis credited his ability to run for public office and his right to speak his mind to those who have fought and died to preserve the country's freedoms.
Supervisor Erin Hannigan also asked those gathered to think not just of the country's soldiers, but to those who they leave behind, like her own great-grandmother who died before her son's remains could be found and returned from Vietnam.
"There are many children and parents who have lost a loved one in the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our country," Hannigan said.
Similarly, Tony Ubalde, president of the Vallejo school board, recognized the domestic sacrifices and toils of soldiers' dependents such as their partners. Ubalde's father was a prisoner of war in World War II as part of the Philippine Scouts.
"You are the ones who took care of us, cared for us when the veterans were gone," Ubalde said.
The commemoration also featured a somber remembrance of prisoners of war and those still missing in action, as well as a 21-gun salute during a wreath-laying ceremony.

Dell to pay $100 million fine for fraud and misleading investors
Under the SEC settlement, Chairman and CEO Michael Dell, one of the world's richest men with a net worth of some $13 billion, also agreed to pay a $4 million penalty. Other senior Dell executives were also hit with fines.
The SEC charged Dell with failing to disclose material information to investors and using fraudulent accounting methods to make it look like the company was consistently meeting Wall Street's earnings targets and reducing its operating expenses.
"Accuracy and completeness are the touchstones of public company disclosure under the federal securities laws," said Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, in a statement. "Michael Dell and other senior Dell executives fell short of that standard repeatedly over many years, and today they are held accountable."
According to the SEC's complaint, Dell received exclusivity payments from Intel Corp. not to use central processing units manufactured by Intel's main rival, Advance Micro Devices, Inc.-- a fact Dell hid from investors. These payments grew from 10 percent of Dell's operating income in FY 2003 to 38 percent in FY 2006, and peaked at 76 percent in the first quarter of FY 2007. Dell's operating income for 2007 was $3.4 billion.
It was these payments -- rather than the company's actual performance -- that allowed Dell to meet its quarterly Wall Street earnings targets. Once Intel cut its payments, Dell again misled investors by failing to disclose the true reason behind its decreased profitability.
The SEC charged Michael Dell, former CEO Kevin Rollins, and former CFO James Schneider for their roles in the disclosure violations. The SEC charged Schneider, former regional Vice President of Finance Nicholas Dunning, and former Assistant Controller Leslie Jackson for their roles in the improper accounting. Rollins agreed to pay a $4 million penalty, Schneider agreed to pay $3 million, and Dunning agreed to pay a $50,000 fine.
Neither Dell Inc. nor its executives admitted nor denied any wrongdoing.
"We are pleased to have resolved this matter. We are committed to maintaining clear and accurate reporting of our periodic results, supporting our customers, and executing our growth strategy," Michael Dell said in a statement posted on the company's web site.
The SEC's complaint alleges Dell Inc., Michael Dell, Rollins, and Schneider mischaracterized the company's financial performance from fiscal year 2002 through fiscal year 2006, when it consistently met or exceed analyst expectations. Without Intel's undisclosed payments, Dell would have missed its Wall Street earnings targets for every single quarter during that period.
The SEC also accused Dell's senior accounting personnel including Schneider, Dunning, and Jackson, of shady accounting practices by maintaining a series of "cookie jar" reserves it used to cover shortfalls in operating results from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2005.
"Dell manipulated its accounting over an extended period to project financial results that the company wished it had achieved, but could not," said Christopher Conte, Associate Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "Dell was only able to meet Wall Street targets consistently during this period by breaking the rules. The financial results that public companies communicate to the investing public must reflect reality."

The home of Pansit Malabon, patis, and delicacies such as puto and ensaymada – Malabon City – is also known for good Filipino restaurants! Seats For Two recently visited Master Garden Malabon, a family restaurant that offers well-loved Filipino favorites.
Located at Gen. Luna street, Master Garden restaurant offers all-time favorites and traditionally-cooked Filipino cuisine. Some of their signature dishes includes Putok Batok (Php 505), Baby Back Ribs (Php 395), Beef Kare Kare (Php 285), Steak Ni Master (Php 495) and Binagoongana Ala Malabon (Php 215).
We started with some appetisers such as the Mouth-watering Tungkab Biyaya – baked oyster topped with béchamel sauce, cheese, and herbs. The fried calamares was also good.
Perfect for rainy and cold weather is Master Garden‘s Savory Bulalo cooked several hours and served in a palayok.
Pinakbet, mixed vegetable sauteed in homemade bagoong and chopseuy, is one of my favorite Filipino veggie dishes. Both were cooked in savory sauce and comes in generous pork strips and quail eggs.
The seemingly ordinary Tuna Steak became extra special with the use of mango salsa topped with cucumber and onion rings but our favorite is the Sugpo Sa Maalat na Dagat, another signature dish at Master Garden.
Another highlight was the well-arranged Binagaoongan ala Malabon with sliced tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers on the side. I love their homemade bagoong.
Furthermore, family get-togethers deserve a huge serving of Crispy Pata. We also recommend the Gata Ni Cipring (Php 145).
Lastly, the desserts were composed of ice cream and suman – Chef’s Dessert and Chocolate Suman.
Master Garden invites you and your family to visit their newly opened branch along Tomas Morato (near South Triangle) or visit them in Malabon at Master Garden Malabon. For reservations you may call 3731524; 3731530; 0906-3629192.

Apple Crop Worth Lakhs Destroyed By Hailstorm In Shimla's Theog & Narkanda
Well-known for its apples, Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla and neighbouring areas, Narkanda and Theog, are reeling under a devastating hailstorm. The sudden hailstorm two days ago has broken the back of apple farmers, with the unexpected weather destroying apple farmers’ produce worth lakhs. The changing weather and a lack of assistance from the government have left apple farmers in dire straits.
The apple was fully ready on the trees and more than half of the crop was hanging from the trees. When the weather is normal and there is no hailstorm, the farmers take down the nets used for plucking apples from the trees. Meanwhile, the sudden hailstorm has proved to be disastrous for apple farmers.
The annual turnover of the Himachal apple industry is more than
Rs 4,000 crore. Himachal Pradesh ranks second after Jammu and Kashmir in apple production in the country. More than 1 lakh apple farmers are associated with the 100-year-old apple industry. Last year, Himachal Pradesh produced 2.18 crore boxes of apples. In the year 2017, apple production was at 2.23 crore boxes.
Apple farmers say that while the government deducts the insurance amount, it does not give any kind of compensation if their apple crop is destroyed. They work hard throughout the year and then wait for the apple crop to get ready. However, sudden rainfall and hailstones lead to the crop being wiped out.

Shiba Inu Price Prediction – Is SHIB Preparing for a Breakout?
Shiba Inu price prediction will likely remain bearish unless it breaks above the $0.0000101 level. On October 22, the SHIB/USD pair opened the day at $0.00001002. It has ranged between a high of $0.00001007 and a low of $0.00000992.
Shiba Inu is gaining traction following the announcement that SHIB token holders can now pay for Netflix streaming service subscriptions and Amazon purchases using any of the SHIB ecosystem’s tokens.
Shiba Inu Whale Adds 322 Billion SHIB Tokens
According to Etherscan.io statistics, the seventh-largest SHIB Whale purchased 96.74 billion SHIB tokens in a single transaction. The data also revealed that this top Shiba Inu Whale had made significant SHIB token purchases in the previous week.
Between October 13 and 21, the top SHIB investor added more than 322 billion SHIB tokens to his wallet, now worth approximately $31.9 million. The Whale purchased 131.63 billion SHIB tokens in a single transaction worth roughly $1.4 million, making it his largest SHIB token purchase to date.

Whale leaderboard 👇https://t.co/tgYTpOmDm0 pic.twitter.com/m62BsqyCg3
After adding these new holdings, this SHIB Whale now owns 15.63 trillion SHIB tokens, which are estimated to be worth $155 million.
Meanwhile, WhaleStats, a well-known blockchain analytics firm, confirmed via Twitter on October 21 that the top 500 Ethereum Whales continue to own the most SHIB tokens. The price of SHIB has risen in response to the positive news about Shiba Inu.
Amazon and Netflix Payments
According to multiple sources, SHIB token holders can now use any of the SHIB ecosystem’s tokens to pay for Netflix streaming service subscriptions and Amazon purchases. Payment with SHIB, BONE, and LEASH tokens is also possible with the FCFPay Visa card, which is accepted by Amazon and Netflix.
On October 21, FCFPay, a Canadian cryptocurrency payment gateway, announced that holders of its crypto cards would be able to pay for goods and services on Amazon. They could also subscribe to popular documentaries, TV shows, movies, and animes on Netflix.
FCFPay said that consumers’ payments would only be successful if they had enough crypto tokens to cover the transactions they wanted to make. The utility of SHIB has increased investor interest in the meme currency, driving an uptrend in SHIB’s value.
SHIB Army Grew Meme Coin
Shiba Inu has been under intense selling pressure since August. The downward cycle’s sell-off has brought it down to its October low. Investors who participated in the continuous decline are now profiting from the bullish days.
The SHIB Army is undeniably the driving force behind the growing popularity of cryptocurrency with a dog theme. With its decentralized exchange, the Shiba Inu ecosystem aspires to be the best-decentralized ecosystem (DEX).
Furthermore, the recent announcement at the beginning of this month that NOWpayments has partnered with Shiba Inu and will use token payments to pay salaries has increased the utility of the meme token. As a result of the valuable events, the price of SHIB/USD is rising.
Shiba Inu Price Prediction
The SHIB/USD pair is trading in a narrow range of $0.0000098 to $0.000010. A break of this range will almost certainly result in a bullish or bearish moment. A break over $0.0000102, on the other hand, can continue an uptrend to $0.0000105 or $0.0000108.
Shiba Inu might be pushed down to $0.0000094 if $0.0000098 is broken down. Keep a watch on $0.0000098, as an uptrend is anticipated over this level. At the same time, the support level remains at $0.0000094.
