Wyoming County man convicted of Malicious Assault
PINEVILLE, W.Va. (WVVA) -A Wyoming County man was found guilty of Malicious Assault, Wanton Endangerment Involving a Firearm, and First Degree Robbert after a jury trial this week.
Michael Terry Cline, 38, of Hanover, WV, was found guilty of the charges on January 25, 2023.
In May of 2022, the prosecution said Cline maliciously beat a Wyoming County man by striking him repeatedly. Cline used an ax handle during the attack. Cline also stole several items from the man during the assault. As the man made his escape in an automobile, Cline fired several rounds from a firearm, striking the vehicle.
Gregory Bishop is the Wyoming County Prosecutor. “This was a crime of extreme violence” said Bishop, “the victim was very fortunate to escape with his life”.
Assistant Prosecutor’s Derek Laxton and Josh Miller prosecuted the case.
“I’d like to thank the jury for their service and attention during the three-day trial”, said Laxton, “I’d also like to thank Tommy Blankenship and the entire Wyoming County Sheriff’s Department for their investigation of this case. They and all the police operating in our county work every day to keep the people in our county safe. Violent crimes like these are intolerable and we are grateful to the jury for returning a just verdict.”
“I want to thank the jury for their hard work and due diligence in thoroughly evaluating all the evidence and returning a just verdict. I want to also thank Captain T. Blankenship of the Wyoming County Sherriff’s Department for his thorough investigation and commitment to justice” said Miller, “This verdict delivers justice to the victim and holds Michael Terry Cline accountable for his violent criminal acts. Michael Terry Cline is an incorrigible, violent criminal and it is my hope that this verdict sends a message to all would be violent criminals in Wyoming County, that the Wyoming County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office will not tolerate violent criminals and you will be brought to justice and held accountable.”
“Both Laxton and Miller’s preparation and thoroughness in presenting this case was extraordinary”, said Bishop, “the citizens of Wyoming County are fortunate to have attorneys such as these in the Prosecutor’s Office.”
Sentencing is scheduled for March 8, 2023.

The purpose of this study was to assess the probability that the introduction of one or more bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1)-seropositive animals would result in the bulk milk of a clean herd becoming BHV-1-positive. Probability calculations (stochastic and deterministic) were based on the distribution of the log(titre) of 828 positive animals and the daily milk production of the herds and of the individual cows. They showed that the probability in average sized herds of 45 dairy cows is only between 10 and 25 per cent and that even in small herds of 25 cows the introduction of a positive animal would go undetected in the majority of cases. It is concluded that if the bulk milk has become BHV-1-positive it is most likely that the infection has spread.

Submarine radial vents on Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawai'i
A 2002 multibeam sonar survey of Mauna Loa's western flank revealed ten submarine radial vents and three submarine lava flows. Only one submarine radial vent was known previously. The ages of these vents are constrained by eyewitness accounts, geologic relationships, Mn-Fe coatings, and geochemical stratigraphy; they range from 128 years B.P. to possibly 47 ka. Eight of the radial vents produced degassed lavas despite eruption in water depths sufficient to inhibit sulfur degassing. These vents...[Show more]

Towards a long-term dataset of ELBARA-II measurements assisting SMOS level-3 land product and algorithm validation at the Valencia Anchor Station
Keywords:brightness temperature, ELBARA-II, L-MEB, SMOS, SMOS level 3 data, soil moisture, soil roughness, Valencia Anchor Station, vegetation optical depth
AbstractThe Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission was launched on 2nd November 2009 with the objective of providing global estimations of soil moisture and sea salinity. The main activity of the Valencia Anchor Station (VAS) is currently to assist in a long-term validation of SMOS land products. This study focus on a level 3 SMOS data validation with in situ measurements carried out in the period 2010-2012 over the VAS. ELBARA-II radiometer is placed in the VAS area, observing a vineyard field considered as representative of a major proportion of an area of 50×50 km, enough to cover a SMOS footprint. Brightness temperatures (TB) acquired by ELBARA-II have been compared to those observed by SMOS at the same dates and time. They were also used for the L-MEB model inversion to retrieve soil moisture (SM), which later on have been compared to those provided by SMOS as level 3 data. A good correlation between both TB datasets was found, improving year by year, mainly due to the decrease of precipitations in the analyzed period and the mitigation of radio frequency interferences at L-band. The larger homogeneity of the radiometer footprint as compared to SMOS explains the higher variability of its TB. Periods of more intense precipitation (spring and autumn) also presented higher SM, which corroborates the consistency of SM retrieved from ELBARA-II’s observations. However, the results show that SMOS level 3 data underestimate SM as compared to ELBARA-II’s, probably due to the influence of the small soil fraction which is not cultivated in vineyards. SMOS estimations in descending orbit (6 pm) had better quality (higher correlation, lower RMSE and bias) than the ones in ascending orbit (6 am, when there is a higher soil moisture).

Jury told Dundee businessman accused of fraud was naive
A jury has been told a Dundee businessman accused of cheating the government out of millions of pounds was an enthusiastic but naive entrepreneur, not a fraudster.
Shahid Ramzan, 40, from Broughty Ferry, denies he was responsible for VAT evasion amounting to some £6m.
He also denies two Spanish companies he floated were used to fraudulently export £20.5m out of the UK.
The trial at the High Court in Edinburgh continues.
Mr Ramzan is accused of using so-called missing trader intra community (MTIC) fraud to transfer the funds out of the country.
The trial has heard that MTIC frauds typically involve imported goods being passed from company to company to fool Customs and Excise into refunding VAT which has never actually been paid.
The two and a half month trial at the High Court in Edinburgh has reached its closing stages, with defence QC Murray Macara making his closing speech to the jury.
The lawyer told them that Mr Ramzan had been open about everything he had done, including his ambition to make money by buying and selling mobile phones.
Mr Macara said the trade was genuine, not simply a front to cheat the Treasury. He added: "He didn't think he was doing anything wrong."
The trial has heard how Mr Ramzan's bankers stepped in and closed his accounts after customs officers passed on their suspicions about what he was doing.
Mr Macara said: "There is a degree of openness about Mr Ramzan's relationship with the bank, a degree of enthusiasm which, while painting him as a somewhat naive entrepreneur also paints him as someone who wanted to be involved in legitimate trade."
A verdict in the case is expected to be reached later this week.

Rajindra hospital, Patiala, to get advanced trauma centre, burn unit by 2020
The Government Rajindra Hospital is all set to start an advanced trauma centre (ATC) and a burn unit from the coming year.
Despite being one of Punjab’s largest government hospitals, it currently doe not have any facility to treat patients with serious burn injuries and trauma that need immediate and specific treatment.
In the absence of an advanced trauma centre and a burn unit, the patients are presently being referred to private hospitals and Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh.
The private hospitals take this as an opportunity and fleece the referred patients, claim experts.
According to doctors, the refereed patients have to pay four to five lakh per case at the private hospitals. The ATC and burn unit at Government Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, are expected to help the state government to curb fleecing of economically weaker patients by the private hospitals.
Dr Harjinder Singh, principal of Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital in Patiala, said, “The drawing and plans of the burn unit have already been made. We have even received the first instalment of ₹15 lakh for setting up a burn unit on the hospital premises.”
“The work of setting up burn unit is likely to start in the first few months of the next year (2020). It will provide great help to patients who belongs to economically weaker section,” he added.
He further said that the emergency department of the hospital will be upgraded into an advanced trauma centre.
Dr Ashwani Kumar, medical superintendent of Rajindra hospital, said, “The project for burn unit at Rajindra hospital has already been approved by the state government while the advanced trauma centre is in the pipeline.”
“Currently, the file for advanced trauma centre is lying with the finance department for approval. Once the file gets cleared, the work on setting up ATC will be started immediately,” he said.
He further added that around ₹45-50 crore is likely to be spent on upgrade of the emergency unit at the hospital to turn it into an advanced trauma centre.
An official, pleading anonymity, said that Dr Ashwani Kumar and Dr Harjinder Singh recently held a meeting with state medical education minister OP Soni and both the matters were discussed during the meeting.
Noor Ahmad is just 14. More astonishing is the fact that despite being so young, he lives far from his family. Noor Ahmad explains that “when one doesn't have much money at home, then one has to go to distant places to earn money”. At night, he eats out in an eatery. While discussing his inability to attend school, Noor Ahmad remarks that he is not able to read English.
Senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka has approached the Punjab and Haryana high court seeking quashing of an FIR registered in Panchkula under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

How to Disable the Push Button Rio Switch on a John Deere Riding Mower
The reverse implement option (RIO) on a John Deere riding mower is designed to allow cutting blades and implements to operate while a mower, such as the X500, is in reverse. The RIO button must be pressed before the transmission is shifted into reverse. Once the mower is in reverse, the RIO button is released and the blades or implement will operate continuously while backing up and then when moving forward again. Owners who do not like or need the RIO feature can disable the button.
Locate the RIO button for reference on the dash of the John Deere mower just to the left side of the steering column. Raise the hood on the mower.
Look up under the dash of the John Deere mower, beside the steering column, for the RIO switch and wire. Grip the connector on the end of the wire and pull it straight out to disconnect if from the back of the RIO switch.
Assemble a jumper for the plug. Cut a 3-inch length of 14-gauge wire with wire cutters. Strip both ends of the wire length back 1/2 inch with wire strippers.
Slide the sleeve of a quick connect spade plug onto one end of the 14-gauge wire. Crimp the quick connect sleeve down around the stripped wire with pliers. Repeat the process to attach another quick connect spade plug on the other end of the short 14-gauge wire to complete the jumper.
Insert one of the spade plugs on the jumper into both of the slots in the plug that was removed from the RIO switch. Push the jumper spade plugs securely into the switch. Attach the disconnected RIO switch and wires to the side of the dash housing or other wires with electrical tape to keep it out of the way.
- Be aware that disabling the RIO switch will allow mower blades and implements to be powered continuously when moving forward or in reverse without the need for pushing the RIO button.

Watching someone you love suffer from Alzheimer’s or another memory debilitating illness is incredibly difficult, and it can be even more challenging to decide when it’s time to consider hospice care. Here, we are sharing five signs it may be the right time to consider the extra support of hospice care for an Alzheimer’s patient.
The Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) Scale is a tool used to determine if changes in a patient’s condition are related to Alzheimer’s disease or another condition. If due to Alzheimer’s, the changes will occur in sequential order. Alzheimer’s disease-related changes do not skip FAST stages.
This means a person is no longer able to get around on their own. For example, they require assistance getting from room to room.
Without assistance, you may notice they put their shoes on the wrong feet or their day-time ‘street’ clothes on over their pajamas. They are also unable to bathe without assistance.
This includes urinary or fecal incontinence or both.
This may begin as the patient only saying 5-6 words per day and gradually reduce to only speaking one word clearly until they can no longer speak or communicate at all. This will also include the inability to smile.
Hospice care is for patients with a life limiting illness and a life expectancy of six months or less. The main focus is to manage pain and symptoms and ultimately keep the patient comfortable. When you choose hospice for your loved one, their care team can help you to understand what to expect in the final stages of Alzheimer’s. They will also provide support to you and the rest of your family throughout the end-of-life process.
If you would like more information on hospice care for Alzheimer’s patients, please contact us. We are here to answer any questions you may have.
As Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month continues, we want to discuss a very important topic- communication and Alzheimer’s. As the disease progresses, a person’s ability to communicate gradually diminishes. Changes in communication vary from person to person, but there are several common issues you can expect to see, including difficulty finding the right words and organizing words logically.
If someone you love is living with the disease, you know it can be challenging at times to communicate with them. The video above discusses the following ten tips for effectively communicating with your loved one.
In addition to these tips, there are steps you can take to help make communication easier, including:
You also want to encourage the person to communicate with you. You can do this by doing things like holding their hand while you talk and showing a warm, loving manner. It is also important to be patient with angry outbursts and remember that it is just the illness talking.
Since the disease is being diagnosed at earlier stages, many people are aware of how it is impacting their memory. This can make communication even more sensitive because they may become frustrated when they are aware of the memory loss. Here are some tips for how to help someone who knows they have memory problems.
For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and how it impacts communication, visit the links or reach out to the contacts below:
** NIA Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Education and Referral (ADEAR) Center
** Family Caregiver Alliance
** Alzheimer’s Association
If you are caring for a loved one who is living with Alzheimer’s disease, you do not need us to tell you that it’s not easy. This progressive disease is difficult to cope with – for both the person living with it and their loved ones. People living with Alzheimer’s may become frustrated when they find themselves struggling to do things they used to do without any problem. And it is hard for you, as the caregiver, to watch the person they once were gradually fade away. They may have brief moments of clarity where it feels like they are themselves again; only to break your heart when the moment is gone.
While there is nothing anyone can do or say to “fix” what you and your loved one are going through, we want you to know you do not have to face it alone. The Alzheimer’s Association has an abundance of resources for both those living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. There are support and educational programs available for both, as well. Take advantage of these resources. They are there to help make things a little easier.
It all starts with gaining a better understanding of the disease and how it progresses. Alzheimer’s leads to nerve cell death and tissue loss throughout the brain. This results in the brain shrinking dramatically over time which impacts nearly all its functions.
Although scientists are not completely certain what causes cell death and tissue loss in a brain affected by Alzheimer’s, plaques and tangles appear to be the culprits. Plaques form when protein pieces called beta-amyloid clump together, and tangles destroy a vital cell transport system made up of proteins. Plaques and tangles tend to spread through the cortex in a predictable pattern as Alzheimer’s disease progresses, but the rate of progression varies greatly.
In the earliest stages, plaques and tangles begin to form in brain areas involved in learning and memory, as well as thinking and planning. In this stage, a person can still function independently but may start to notice they are sometimes forgetting familiar words or where to find everyday objects.
Someone in this stage may struggle to:
In the middle stage, more plaques and tangles develop in the regions of the brain important for memory, thinking, and planning. This leads to the development of problems with memory or thinking that are severe enough to interfere with work or social life. In this stage, someone with Alzheimer’s may have trouble handling money, expressing themselves, and organizing their thoughts. Plaques and tangles also spread to areas involved in speaking and understanding speech and the sense of where your body is in relation to objects around you. It is in this stage that many people are first diagnosed.
Symptoms vary from person to person, but may include:
Most of the cortex is seriously damaged by the time someone reaches the late stage of Alzheimer’s disease. By this point, the brain shrinks dramatically due to widespread cell death. Individuals often lose their ability to communicate, recognize family and loved ones, and to care for themselves in this stage.
In this stage, symptoms are severe and may include:
The Alzheimer’s Association provides excellent resources for caregivers for each stage. Visit the links below to learn more.

The former Paris St Germain boss will take charge of the Blues for the first time less than 24 hours after his appointment as Frank Lampard's successor was confirmed.
The 47-year-old German has signed an initial 18-month contract to become the 15th manager of owner Roman Abramovich's tenure and his immediate task will be to reverse the fortunes of a team who have lost five of their last eight Premier League games and lie in 10th place in the table.
Tuchel has been itching to get back to work after his December sacking by PSG, and his agent Pini Zahavi has successfully sung his praises to Abramovich.
"It is never easy to change head coach in the middle of the season but we are very happy to secure one of Europe's best coaches in Thomas Tuchel," said Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia.
"There is still much to play for and much to achieve, this season and beyond."
Former Borussia Dortmund boss Tuchel must build a clear attacking strategy, find definitive roles for Werner and Havertz, tighten a tentative defence and also rebuild brittle collective confidence.
Chelsea's all-time record goalscorer, Lampard took the helm as manager in 2019 in a move to thrill Blues fans.
Lampard belied the club's transfer ban and previous paltry recruitment under Maurizio Sarri to seal a top-four finish in his first campaign.
The club's vast summer recruitment left Lampard with a bloated, imbalanced and callow squad, however, and the Blues' inconsistency ultimately led to his sacking on Monday.

We really love our eleven 4 head fixed Auto Drillers. We have been running with them over a year now with no issues. They have saved us on drill bits and downtime. The same with the custom collet chucks.
I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that the drills we got from you are performing perfectly… We are extremely happy with them. In fact we are getting a work cell in probably next week that my manager wants me to upgrade the 3 drills on it, to your product. Once it comes in I will email you all of the details. Thank you.

text: Thom Browne, meanwhile, staged his recent men’s show in a room surrounded by suited teddy bears, explaining that he sees New York as an island of misfit toys. Wood block shoes and handbags in the I’m only in the mood to be adored paragliding cat t-shirt What’s more,I will buy this shape of miniature cars illustrated that idea with Browne’s usual cheeky playfulness, and went some distance to making his sharp tailoring and Georgina Godley-ish bulbous silhouettes less serious and severe. It’s in this spirit that fashion has invited this boyish playfulness into menswear to cushion masculinity and buff its edges. Will shoppers play along? And if they do, will these youthful elements make them look innocent and approachable or simply like real-life Peter Pans? Maybe it’s worth looking back to our formative years to chart a path forward, but at some point we all need to look ahead. Boys are the new men, but they’ll have to grow up some time. We all do.

LinkedIn is far more superior social networking tool for the professionals around the globe than any other platform to enhance their knowledge and gain access to variety of information to excel in their careers. LinkedIn is not only a social networking platform for searching jobs and competent professionals for building relationships; it rolls out many new features and tools for digital marketers to help them reach the right audience. In this post, we will talk about the most beneficial LinkedIn social media marketing tools that can assist marketers understand the results of their paid advertising campaigns.
LinkedIn Audience Forecasting Tool: A handy feature for Marketers
On October 1st, 2019, LinkedIn announced the release of new innovative tool for digital marketers to help them better understand their paid advertisement results via Audience Forecasting tool. The tool allows marketers more robust audience forecasting by providing them enhanced demographic reporting facilities. Last October, LinkedIn introduced a new segment breakdown feature to its forecasting tool. Segment breakdown options include function, seniority, years of experience, company size, industry and interests. Instead of a general overview of the projected audience size. With this handy tool, now marketers are better able to make estimates of their target audiences by using the dashboard and creating ads.
The New Boolean Logic used by the Marketers
If you have not been a mathematics student in the college, don’t worry about the concept of Boolean knowledge. Boolean logic uses And / OR quires that can help marketers on LinkedIn to refine their search or targeting an audience by combining their common elements of LinkedIn profile. Such elements can include job roles and functions of your target audience, seniority level, experience, skill, and industries served. You can incorporate these elements and create a single campaign; LinkedIn also teaches you via video lessons how Boolean queries are used to enhance your target audience.
For example, if you are targeting marketing professionals on LinkedIn, then you can target engineering in the job titles and narrow down your audience search. Used wisely, this handy tool can improve the success of your marketing campaigns.
How to play with the New Demographic Reporting Feature
LinkedIn has offered demographic reporting feature recently that includes reporting, job title, seniority level, companies, and industries that your audience has clicked on. The new demographic tool is enhanced by LinkedIn and it is more powerful now to provide the relevant audience information based on their demographic and based on the type of content they have interacted with. Therefore, if you are looking to scale your digital marketing outcome, then you should learn how to use the new demographic feature of LinkedIn for marketers.
Precision Targeting Tool
With the advent of Facebook marketing, LinkedIn has also incorporated innovative feature for helping digital marketers get the most out of their campaigns. Boolean targeting tool works as same as the precision targeting tool. Previously, in the absence of this tool, advertisers had to go through a tough time and could only use a single campaign to reach the audience who were for example directors. Now with the powerful tool advertisers are able to utilize a single campaign to find out the people who are directors in their organizations in any job function.
Enhanced Reporting Capabilities
As far as LinkedIn demographic reporting is concerned, the social media platform is improving significantly with its current demographic reporting capabilities. Now the new reporting feature can provide insights into people who are watching different video ads or filling out the lead generation forms. This data is useful for the marketing personnel interested in lead generation techniques. They can also understand from this data which professionals on LinkedIn can become quality leads and offer an insight needed to make strategic decisions and adjustments to ad campaigns. The good news is that such updates are not available to a specific set of people; they are available to all advertisers on LinkedIn.
Choose Managed Campaigns and Self Service
If you think LinkedIn is a less-than-effective marketing platform for advertisers, we can show you rethink your strategy to streamline your advertising results. LinkedIn is just as powerful as Facebook and Twitter when it comes to marketing results and understanding the tactics of LinkedIn marketing features. It is all-in-one platform that allows marketers to get started on self service campaigns using features such as text ads and sponsored content. You can use the Campaign Manager to run and configure advertisements on LinkedIn; it helps you to monitor your marketing progress day by day as well.
If you want more strategic advice that aims to attract huge audience, then you should use account-managed LinkedIn advertisement. This feature helps you to attract premium audience on the social media platform and connects you with experts and dedicated people on LinkedIn to help you out during each phase of marketing. Therefore, from target audience to optimization process, LinkedIn is all in one supportive and lucrative marketing platform to boost your advertising campaigns.
It is much easier to get started with campaign manager that becomes the center of your advertising activity. There, you will be able to view much detailed results of your advertisements and how they are performing on the social media platform. It shows details such as demographics of the members who clicked on your ads; helps engagement with the sponsored content, and much more.
Choose a format of Ad Perfectly
You are the boss of the LinkedIn marketing campaign, you can decide whether you should choose text ads or sponsored content, or both for your LinkedIn marketing campaign. Sponsored content can be viewed easily on the member’s feeds whether they are using a laptop computer or a desktop; however, the sponsored content can promote your very best performing ads by promoting your company page. You can make those updates easily by hitting with your existing followers so that they can pull in a large audience to boost your marketing campaigns. Text ads option is also effective that is displayed on the side, bottom, or top of LinkedIn member’s feed; you must keep your marketing content short and use visual imagery to improve the results.
Create Great Marketing Ads
For the purpose of adding a sponsored content on LinkedIn, you can present or showcase your organization effectively by creating a fresh sponsored content. According to Neil Patel, the SEO guru, a good strategy is to create multiple copies of sponsored content to be on the creative side and get the optimum results. For the text advertisements, the strategy can be slightly different as you can open the ad by specifying a particular link.
How to Target your Ads on LinkedIn
One of the biggest benefits of using LinkedIn for advertisement is being able to target audience based on self reported information. You are the one who is going to decide your marketing strategy and choose a criteria, the rest will be done by the Campaign Manager who will show you the estimated target audience size in right sidebar. Moreover, Campaign manager is also helpful in selecting a right budget for advertising because you can choose an option from bid ranges for displaying ads.
We hope these tips will encourage you to leverage your advertisement campaign with LinkedIn powerful features and tools that ensure greater engagement and brand success. Contact www.seo.com.pk now to get professional assistance for all LinkedIn Targeting Ad Campaigns for your business.

Also read: Russian Startup Qiwi to Continue Bitcoin Development despite Regulatory Hurdles
With all of the attention on the Ethereum project right now, there are a fair few digital currency enthusiast who would love nothing more than to see this project overtake Bitcoin in every way. More importantly, when Ethereum reached the market cap threshold of US$1bn, a lot of people expected it to keep going, but the value started plummeting shortly afterwards. At the same time, the Bitcoin price dipped as well. Are these two concepts more alike than people want to admit?
Source: Cryptocompare, Flickr
But in fairness, the USD market is not a good representation of the trading volume for Bitcoin, as the Chinese Yuan is the biggest currency in this regard. CryptoCompare provides us with those charts as well, and it is clear there is a lot more money flowing into Bitcoin over the past few days. In fact, the CNY trading value has almost doubled over the past week for some unknown reason.
The CryptoCompare one-month Ethereum trading volume chart â in USD â tells us there has been a steady amount of funds invested over the past thirty days, with some exceptions. February 14,19,20,26,28, and 29 were all days with very little funds going into Ethereum. However, February 10, March 3,4,5, and 6 were rather good investment days for this project. The lowest amount of USD volume flowing into Ethereum in the past thirty days occurred on February 20th, as just US$13,675.44 was recorded across all exchanges.
In the screenshot below, we can see the Google Trends search results for the term âEthereumâ in the past twelve months. As is clearly visible, there has been a surge of interest ever since January of 2016 came around the corner, although there was an earlier bump around August and September of 2015 as well. Google Trends seems to indicate the number of searches for Ethereum keeps increasing, which is positive news for the project
Ethereum price charts, on the other hand, look very different. In fact, users could say the only way is âupâ for Ethereum, as there is a visible upward trend noticeable since early January of 2016. That being said, Ethereum has not been without price dips either, although the lost ground has been made up relatively fast. The price per Ether has gone up from US$0.843 on December 11, 2015 to US$10.15 [at the time of writing]. The question is whether or not this price momentum is sustainable in the long run.
On the Bitcoin side of things, the past three months have seen several ups and downs, although more downs, unfortunately. The Bitcoin price was still well above US$460 by early December 2015, but things have started slipping ever since. A bottom was set shortly after the New Year when the Bitcoin price dropped to US$365.67. However, things have picked up again in recent weeks, and despite a dip recently, we are back at a value of roughly US$410 per BTC [at the time of writing].
It is not all that difficult to gauge interest about any topic in the world outside of the realm of the digital currency ecosystem. A large part of our society has no vested interest in either Bitcoin or Ethereum, but that doesnât mean their interest isnât piqued. Google Trends can tell an interesting story regarding what people search for, which also provides valuable insights as to which topic is more sought after in recent months. However, it is important to keep in mind Bitcoin has been around for a few more years compared to Ethereum.
When conducting the same search for Bitcoin on Google Trends, there is an entirely different pattern. First of all, the chart stays out way higher, simply because people have been Googling the term Bitcoin for many years now. Several peaks of sudden interest can be noted during November and December of 2015, but things have calmed down again ever since. In fact, very little has changed in the past twelve months when comparing the starting level with the cut-off point.
Is Bitcoin Volume Flowing into Ethereum?
But what about Ethereum? Well, the biggest currency flowing into Ethereum is none other than Bitcoin, which accounts for 87.66% of all volume in the past month. Granted, there has been a small capital flight of Bitcoin into Ethereum during the first two weeks of February, but the volume has calmed down ever since. Slightly more BTC is exchanged for ETH over the past few days, correlating with the increased CNY investments in BTC. Perhaps the Chinese are buying Bitcoin to get Ethereum after all.
Taking the above information into consideration, it is well worth the time to look how the price charts of both currencies are behaving. Given the Google Trends increase over the past three months, we have taken both Bitcoin and Ethereum three-month price charts from CryptoCompare, and put them side by side. This gives a far better representation of the actual price, rather than looking at a BTC/ETH chart.
Comparing this information to the Bitcoin trading volume chart â in USD as well â things look a bit different. Most of the days see a steady amount of funds invested in Bitcoin, although March 5th was an exceptionally good day. There seems to be an average of roughly US$80,000 flowing into Bitcoin every day, which is not bad at all.
That is one of the main questions a lot of people are wondering about. If the Bitcoin price goes down, and the Ethereum price goes up during that period, does that means there is a shift in trading volume? But if that would be the case, why isnât the Ethereum price dropping when Bitcoin goes up again and investors flock back to their original investment strategy? Once again, the charts by Cryptocompare will provide interesting insights.

Adriana Lima Chows Phallic-Shaped Chocolate Down in Steamy Video for Love Magazine
While most people celebrate Easter with sumptuous dinners, church services and Easter egg hunts, Adriana Lima marks the festivity with a steamy shower. The Victoria's Secret model teams up with Love Magazine in a sizzling video for the U.K. fashion magazine's campaign.
Directed by Phil Poynter, the nearly-two-minute clip finds Adriana jumping into the shower in a lace off-the-shoulder bandeau that offers viewers a glimpse of her nipples. Under the shower, she seductively takes her lingerie off before running her hands through her hair. She rocks waterproof mascara and bold lip colors in deep red and blue.
Set to The Weather Girls' song "It's Raining Men", the Brazilian model heats up the video as she writhes naked in the shower while eating a phallic-shaped chocolate. The clip gets a little bit creepy when an Easter bunny shows up to give her another bizarre-looking sweet.
Aside from the steamy video, Adriana has taken to Instagram to share some photos of her Easter celebration which apparently includes face-painting. Sporting a bright pink lip, she poses with her two adorable daughters whose faces are painted in butterfly shape. Adriana also gets her face painted with colorful little stars near her left eye.

After all the hoopla over Rocko’s new track “U.O.E.N.O.” which featured the notorious bars by Rick Ross, he takes to the interwebs today with a remix of the infectious track.
“U.O.E.N.O.” now finds Rocko linking up with Future and Wiz Khalifa for something a little different, but you can’t lie and say this track doesn’t ride. Driven by some lazy, smokey horns of sorts, this shit is too damn smooth to ignore. Press play after the jump and speak your mind below.

Ed Miliband says there should be a 'Public Question Time' where ordinary people can go to Parliament to put questions to the Prime Minister.
The Labour leader told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show the idea would "let people into our politics" by making politicians answerable to the public.
He said the move would help deal with some of the public's dissatisfaction with the way Prime Minister's Questions is conducted.
"At the moment there's the glass that separate the public in the gallery from the House of Commons but there is a gulf a mile wide from the kind of politics people want and what Prime Minister's Questions offers," he argued.

Here are some of my current fixations:
This is still a major interest for me. I am a moderator of the Steampunk Gear Flickr pool, and I am planning a "Steampunk Seer" costume for Dragoncon in August.
Psychics / Tarot Card Art
In order to make a great "seer" costume, I have been investigating the symbols and practises of the occult, the workings of H.P. Lovecraft and of psychics in general. Some very interesting stuff. I have been on the hunt for some great Tarot Card images to incorporate into my outfit. I think I'm partial to "The Hanged Man" and "The Magician" but I have yet to find an incarnation of them that will work with the steampunk theme.
Now I'm not a believer in divination or psychics so it is kind of ironic that I would choose to make a costume depicting a psychic to wear at Dragoncon, when James Randi, one of the great debunkers of faith healers and spoon benders will be there. I've been a big fan of "The Amazing Randi" since I was a kid, and putting on really bad magic shows for my friends and family. His demonstration of "Psychic Surgery" on the Johnny Carson show has stuck with me to this day. His quest to instill rational thinking, and displace superstitions is noble and inspiring.
I have been slowly completing my Kit Fisto collection, which now includes most of the action figures and toys depicting the great grinning green Jedi from the Star Wars prequels. I even have some original sketches from the Tartakovsky Clone Wars cartoon series. I have also recently created a flickr group called Everybody loves Fisto for fans to show their love.
I've been planning a trip to Paris so I have been familiarizing myself with the language, history, and architecture of the city. When doing some research to prepare for a trip, I often try to see what current fixations of mine can be found in the new city. For example, when I went to LA for Celebration IV, I also found the filming location of Kirby Plaza for the season finale for "Heroes".
When planning for Paris I was seeing what "steampunk" things I could find. Then it hit me. I didn't have to seek out steampunk elements in Paris because Paris IS Steampunk.
The Eiffel Tower is 7,300 tons of steel and rivets that was the rally point for Santos-Dumont's Airship in 1901, and now in 2007 the tower sports a restaurant named after the science fiction author, Jules Vern.

Plato once said we must be involved in politics or be prepared to be governed by our inferiors. The Congress and the California State Government put that truism into the dustbin of history.
California is broke. California is as much an economic basket case as Greece. So what are they doing?
They are spending more money!
California lawmakers approved billions of dollars Friday in construction financing for the initial segment of what would be the nation’s first dedicated high-speed rail line connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The bill authorizes the state to begin selling $4.5 billion in voter-approved bonds that includes $2.6 billion to build an initial 130-mile stretch of the high-speed rail line in the Central Valley. That will allow the state to collect another $3.2 billion in federal funding that could have been rescinded if lawmakers failed to act Friday.
“The Legislature took bold action today that gets Californians back to work and puts California out in front once again,” Brown said in a statement. He later celebrated with Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento, a fellow Democrat.
Brown pushed for the massive infrastructure project to accommodate expected population growth in the nation’s most populous state, which now has 37 million people. He said the project is sorely needed to create jobs in a region with higher-than-average unemployment.
What kind of idiots are running the show in Washington and Sacramento?
Oh wait, they are Democrats.
If California wants to put more of their citizens back to work, here is a suggestion. Cut taxes. Cut your insane regulations that have anyone with the capacity to start a business or run one and the ability to leave California doing so.
So California is going to spend more money that it does not have. The taxpayers are going to be on the hook for the cost.
Here’s a thought for California. If this high-speed rail was really good idea, the private sector would have done it a long time ago.
Meanwhile will the last Californian with a job leaving for another state, please turn out the lights.

5 Tips to beat daylights savings, a very difficult time for many. It means less daylight to be outside and stay fit. There are less sunny days as the weather changes and that can lead to many symptoms caused by SAD Sadness Affect Disorder, such as depression, lack of motivation. It is real and can negatively impact your health and total well-being.Discover my tips on how to main your fitness and keep your mental health in check. Suzie Cooney
For some the word “stretch” is a four letter word and avoided with every excuse. The SMR roller is called affectionately the “misery stick”.
It’s not motivation that drives of, learn what is THE most important component to your training and life success.
People are loving this workout! Hop in and give it a try it. This is a great way to burn fat and up the fun factor.
I’ve got to get out of here and fast. I’d rather be on the water paddling down Maliko catching monster glides and feeling the rush and strong push of wind at my back as I paddle hard to catch the next bump. “Why am I not out there”, I ask myself? “What happened to you Cooney?” I must find my way back to the ocean.

Wood Tipped Jewels!
Hav-A-Tampa Jewels are incredible little wood tip cigars. They’ve been one of the best-selling machine made cigars in the world for a very long time. This American owned company first started their craft in Ybor City in Tampa, Florida way back in 1901. They were one of the first companies to use machines in the cigar making business. Today, they are no longer produced in the USA, but instead in Puerto Rico, but they remain the world’s best-selling wood-tipped cigars.
Each cigar is capped with a Birchwood tip that provides a clean and smooth draw without fail. They are relaxed, flavorful, and always smooth. Each pack of 50 comes packaged as 10 boxes of 5 cigars, which makes it convenient to grab one and go. If you’ve been looking for a nice change of pace cigar at a good price, Hav-A-Tampa should be your first choice. Incredibly consistent and priced for everyday enjoyment.
I have been searching for havana tampa for years and now I know that CI has them. I will be ordering a surplus of them from them so I will never run out again!
I always enjoyed Black and Gold (Hav-A-Tampa) for many years. They are a great smooth smoke and everyone loves their aromatic pleasant aroma!
CI has the best prices on these beauties and I highly suggest everyone try these, you will really enjoy them.

JK News Today
Jammu, January 15
Launching a scathing attack, POK Refugees said that it is very sad that BJP who gave the slogan of “Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas” is confined to the “Vikas (Development)” of only Valley migrants. BJP’s slogan now seems a farce as it has duped PoK refugees after the Assembly elections of 2014.
Addressing a rally of POK displaced persons their Chairman Rajiv Chuni said “During elections, BJP made tall claims of resolving all issues pertaining to PoK refugees but it has shown a quite slavish face by ignoring us everywhere. BJP has kept discriminatory approach while dealing with PoK refugees”.
The rally was attended by PoK refugees in Jammu and hailed the efforts of S. O. S. International that has been working for their cause.
The magnitude of discrimination can be gauged by the fact that earlier, Government has given a package of 6000 jobs to Valley migrants and recently again, it has awarded another 2100 jobs package for them. They are getting monthly cash relief of Rs 10, 000 per family, free ration, free electricity, free shelter, free health care facilities, interest free loans, income tax exemption, reservation, free school education to higher education and other facilities. Contrary to this, PoK refugees are getting nothing. One hand every comfort is being provided to one community and other hand keeping step motherly treatment to another community. Is it called “Sabka Vikas” or only Kashmir’s “Vikas”? he asked.
Chuni stated that some BJP leaders are trying to weaken our movement and they are not letting any chance to miss for exploiting us as they have been doing it from the day they are in power.
He further said, “it is widely known fact that PoK refugees are the worst and foremost victims of Jammu and Kashmir State”.
He further said that due to biased treatment on the part of Government, PoK refugees youths are compelled to do sub-standards jobs like laborer, domestic servant, drivers, cleaners etc due to lack of education. “We all are citizens of same country and Indian constitution states that every citizen enjoys equality but what kind of equality of this where Government treats its citizens with different yardsticks. Our people need to understand the truth that we are exploited by political parties as they divide our people for their political gains. Let us show these political parties by taking a pledge that PoK refugees will fight only for their cause and their people who are fighting tooth and nail to get justice then the problem will be resolved. The battle has reached at some conclusion and I assure you that if every PoK refugee’s child rise against the cruel approach of opportunists, we will achieve our ultimate goal”, he added.

The purple bulbs had been hovering over the TD Garden crowd all night, but no one noticed until Drake reached for one. All the hits he’d run through up to that point — from the tone-setting “Summer Sixteen” to the mission statement “Started from the Bottom” — were just the set-up. On cue, the light lowered hypnotically from the scaffolding, as if directed by Steven Spielberg.
The metronomic tick-tocks of Timmy Thomas’s 1975 sleeper “Why Can’t We Live Together” should’ve been enough of a hint. Drake held onto the light fixture like a miner’s lantern while Thomas’s pitched-down voice cooed in the background. The moment he let go, the tick-tock got faster.
“You used to call me on my… / You used to, you used to.”
When the beat to Drake’s unexpected smash “Hotline Bling” finally dropped, a cascade of bulbs fell from the rafters with it. It felt like cinema: The social-media auteur whose music videos become memes had put the 14,000 fans who came out for the Boston stop on his Summer Sixteen Tour into a scene of their own. And when the bulbs rose back up to the rafters, he assessed the crowd as if he’d pulled off a magic trick.
“You like that?” he asked.
But if Drake can make a 17,000-seat arena feel like a music video, Future – whose set was sandwiched in the middle of Drake’s – can make it feel like a club. Such is the strange but successful symbiosis between two of rap’s most unstoppable forces. Even if their relationship has been tense at times, Drake’s chart-topping, stream-shattering pop dominance somehow goes hand in hand with the furious, unapologetic trap anthems that have made Future a ball of momentum for the past year.
Their careers have been intertwined since a young Drake dropped a guest verse on Future’s debut single, “Tony Montana.” But even though they were billed as co-headliners here, this wasn’t the type of show where they’d share the stage for more than a few songs. (Three, all told.)
Drake took the crowd on a tour of a catalog almost frighteningly deep for an artist only six years into his career. At one point he replayed the humble brag “I should prolly sign to Hit-Boy cause I got all the hits, boy” from his 2014 loosie “0 to 100” just to set up an opportunity to prove it by breezing through “We Made It,” “Blessings,” “No Lie,” “Versace,” and “Pop That” like a Spotify shuffle of his Hot 100s.
His bag of tricks felt bottomless. He could sing “Hold On, We’re Going Home” from a lift above the crowd. He had pyro on command.
Future brought a different kind of fireworks, all organic. He had four dancers and DJ Esco at his disposal when he levitated through a hole in the stage midway through Drake’s set. The two shared vocals on “Grammys,” after which Drake stepped out and Future stepped up. The boom of his “Bugatti” filled the room; anything his set lacked in dazzle, it made up for in pure fun.
Drake’s constellation of bulbs was a box-office production, but the cell-phone starlight that lit up the Garden when Future performed “March Madness” was just as magical. They were distinct rappers with distinct waves, their paths still intertwined.

The historic Eastgate House in Rochester recently hosted Authenticate, an intervention with live multimedia installations and performances by Year 3 Event and Experience Design students which was so successful that Eastgate House want to keep part of one of the works by student Emma Greenwood – an installation of a jigsaw/drawing of a decorative plaster ceiling, on a viewing mirror. They also want to work with student Elle Mayne on a future video mapping commission.
Lisa Caleno, Visitor Development Officer, at Eastgate House commented: “We were so impressed with the students work at Eastgate House this week, not just in the creativity and understanding of the house shown in the installations but also their courtesy and professionalism. We were particularly impressed with Emma’s work in the mirror room and Elle’s projection in the Rochester Room. I would like to consider working with Elle when she has graduated on a potential installation at the house using projection. We would also be very interested in acquiring the jigsaw puzzle which Emma created to have as a feature of the mirror room.”
Peter Hatton, Programmes Director for Event and Experience Design, Event and Experience Management and Fine Art, and Deputy Head of School, added: “Both outcomes are very good for the students in terms of their confidence, portfolio

Soul Sacrifice just came out in Japan and in early April the game will get a major update. Sony Computer Entertainment plans on supporting the game post launch with new maps, quests, and monsters. The first update has a unique map called Goliath where you enter the body over a gigantic warrior. The map has gimmicks like digestive fluids to dodge to make players feel like they’re diving into a world of organs. Kind of reminiscent of the Ki’s Body scenario in Final Fantasy Legend II / SaGa II.
The April update also adds Dullahan a corrupted knight that turned into a monster because of its lust for violence. Dullahan holds its head in its hands which can be used as a weapon.
The Behemoth is a victim of gluttony. Before becoming a monster the Behemoth was a regular boy. His parents disowned him after he ate these delicious apples that transformed him into the beast below. The Behemoth now uses apples to attack warriors in Soul Sacrifice.
Sony will also add a new quest and support for ad-hoc party for Soul Sacrifice.
Soul Sacrifice comes out on April 30 in North America and May 1 in Europe.

I think I've decided what the hardest thing about 2d animation is: keeping your character on model. As I toil away at my senior project, I've found that keeping my own character on model is a constant struggle. I really enjoy 2d but I wish I knew how to over come this problem. I'm not sure if it's a lack of proper draftsmanship or not understanding the character's construction. I don't really have any problems drawing her body, but Priscilla's face is always difficult. I feel like she looks like a different character in every drawing.
I really miss 3d right now, lol. I think I'm going to shuffle my independent study assignments around so I'll have a 3d assignment before my 2d scene. In the meantime, I'm still really bummed about the Blue Sky thing. I keep thinking about how I'm missing out on a chance to animate one of the things I've always wanted to animate: dinosaurs. I tell myself that there's sure to be another film with dinosaurs in the future and that I might end up working on it, but it doesn't really help. I think I'd feel better if I weren't sitting here working on my senior project. I can't wait to work on something different.

Lowest Common Denominator Continues To Plummet
In a Syracuse University study conducted last month, reruns of Happy Days, a show derided by 1970s critics as "targeted to third-graders," were deemed "beyond comprehension" by 75 percent of present-day third-graders. The surveyed students expressed frustration with the show's characters, some of which exhibited more than one trait. "Fonzie rides a motorcycle, but he also likes girls," one subject said. "I don't get it." The test group also took issue with Happy Days' "boring," non-fatal motorcycle crashes and confusing lack of gunplay and/or graphic nudity.

GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING a major Scotland District reconstruction which is estimated to cost millions of dollars. Minister of Transport and Works John Boyce told the SUNDAY SUN the multimillion-dollar project would involve the reopening of roads, the repair of damaged bridges and provision of easy access to many rural districts.
Calling it an area of neglect, Boyce said: “Currently we are in discussion with the Caribbean Development Bank [CDB] towards assisting funding with the design work.”
He is hopeful the project will start within the next financial year, and estimates it can take about five years to complete.
“With the erosion that has been going on over the years, we recognized that these areas need a major project. There’s a whole lot of work to be done and it will stretch from Newcastle [St John] right over to the Scotland area in St Joseph and St Andrew,” Boyce added.
