Regulators threaten Coinbase and cryptocurrency innovation – Reason.com
The cryptocurrency market continues to grow across the world as new products make it easier to invest, sell, and trade with cryptocurrency. But without a change in the mindset of regulators, many of these products will fail to reach consumers.
Look no further than Coinbase, which last week plans to offer its new loan product due to threats of legal action by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The “Loan” program allowed users to earn interest on their holdings if they held specific types of cryptocurrency. The SEC’s rationale for the lawsuit is that the loan program violated long-standing security rules, even though it is more akin to a traditional savings account.
It is sad. Not only does this block financial technological innovation, but it also prevents consumers from benefiting from high interest rates during times of rising inflation. There is a better way to deal with innovative financial products than with threatening lawsuits. They’re called regulatory sandboxes, and the SEC should take inspiration from forward-thinking states and adopt one.
A sandbox is an alternative regulatory structure for dealing with products that present regulatory uncertainty. Companies that have such products can request to test their products for a set period of time as long as they still comply with consumer protection standards. If they are accepted in the sandbox, they can offer it to consumers. At the end of the testing period, they either comply with existing regulatory standards or work with regulators to modify those standards based on their experience in the sandbox.
The first regulatory sandbox has been deployed in the UK in 2014. It has 700 participants since 2015 and around 80% of those businesses still exist, a much higher rate than businesses without a sandbox. Firms in sandboxes were also more likely to to collect money, raised more venture capital funds and went to market faster.
There are now 70 different sandbox programs in 57 jurisdictions and countries. Arizona was the first state to adopt a sandbox in 2018, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently updated its sandbox program at the federal level. The most common type of sandbox in the world is in financial technology. There are 27 companies in financial technology sandboxes in Arizona, Hawaii, and West Virginia, with the CFPB sandbox giving regulatory relief to 10 different financial products.
One of the coolest companies to be able to participate in a sandbox is BlockFi. Like the product Coinbase offered, BlockFi Offers Hawaiian Sandbox Interest Bearing Cryptocurrency Accounts. But BlockFi has also had issues with attorneys general in other states for the same product. New Jersey, Vermont, Alabama, Texas and Kentucky ordered cease and desist or show cause orders to the company on its interest bearing product.
It is likely that these attorneys general and financial regulators did not have a regulatory structure to deal with this new type of financial product. Rather than allowing innovation without authorization, they chose to shut down products entirely due to a non-zero risk of harm to the consumer. As the SEC tries to fight the cryptocurrency industry, it has almost certainly made the same calculation.
But that doesn’t have to be the case. The CFPB and states have shown that sandboxes can handle new financial products by making regulators and businesses work together to spur innovation, while protecting consumers. The revamped CFPB sandbox issued eight letters of no action in 2020, giving companies confidence that they can deliver their new products. Some products include low-value loans that offer lower rates than payday loans, allowing earned wages to be made available before they are paid, and automatic savings programs for employees. These programs all have benefits for the consumer; they just needed regulatory certainty to get started.
The cryptocurrency industry has rapidly grown from a little-known technology 10 years ago to an estimated $ 2,000 billion market, with hundreds of companies around the world providing services to consumers. About 46 million Americans own bitcoin (to say nothing of alternative cryptocurrencies). The recent recognition by El Salvador of Bitcoin as legal tender and other reforms have been controversial, but they show a growing acceptance of cryptocurrency. Whether the SEC wants to admit it or not, the changes to our financial system are already here.
What is currently happening with Coinbase will certainly happen to more fintech companies in the future. Threatening to sue every company with a new cryptocurrency product is not only a misuse of taxpayer resources, but it is also causing the United States to fall behind on blockchain and cryptocurrency technology.
The SEC should follow the lead of states and the CFPB and adopt a regulatory sandbox for cryptocurrency. In the meantime, states should continue to lead the way and bring much needed regulatory federalism to fintech and other industries.

The B Team: Metal Cartoon Squad is an arcadey, simple squad based shooter on the Nintendo DS. There are four environments and thirty levels to blast through, as well as a co op mode.
To be direct - I did not find the game fun at all. The B Team: Metal Cartoon Squad just feels very limited. I mean, 30 levels sounds like quite a lot, but considering they are all effectively the same it's not that much. You basically have to kill everyone in your path on each one. The fact that there is only four different environments is also a huge limit.
The game experience pretty much consists of killing everyone on the desert map followed by getting to the other side of the desert map and then repeating this 30 times until you've finished.
There are weapon pick ups, such as a more powerful machine gun and a rocket launcher scattered throughout the maps, which make the carnage more, carnagey? But that's it. There's no storyline, no particular lasting upgrades, nothing.
The bosses are more interesting and save the game from total mediocrity. They play out pretty much as you expect, but they break up the game and are pretty fun. Unfortunately it's not long before you're on to the next level.
Watching things blow up as you spray bullets across the level is pretty satisfying.
Something that might be interesting is the 'Fully Destructible Environment' that is promised on the back of the box. Unfortunately, I seem to have a different understanding of Destructible. Shouldn't it mean something along the lines of – being able to blow up everything, affecting the level as I do so – shooting a wall so that I can take a shortcut.
Maybe it's just me but I find that The B Team: Metal Cartoon Squad DS definition is slightly different.Basically, you shoot something a few times, and the image of, say, a building is replaced by a burning building. Shoot some more and the building will explode and the image will be replaced by rubble. It rarely makes a significant impact on the level, as it makes no actual difference to the game play if the graphic is of a building or of rubble. I can't see why this is a feature, as it adds little to the game. Then again, watching things blow up as you spray bullets across the level is pretty satisfying.
I feel like I'm missing something major, because I just don't see the point in this game.
Co op is an option, but I have no idea what it's like. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I think that you need 2 copies of the game to play so I never got to try it. I don't think that you're likely to happen to have a friend who coincidentally also bought the game, so what is likely the most fun section of the game is locked away from most people. It's a shame, because the best thing about arcade is co-op, and whilst the single player experience is dull, perhaps playing with a friend would breathe some life into the game and add longevity.
There's nothing here that can't be found elsewhere in better form. I feel like I'm missing something major, because I just don't see the point in this game. It lacks very basic features that would make the game more enjoyable.
With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that.
But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy.
Our columnists each focus on a particular perspective and fall into one of the following types of gamers:

no place like home - Teresa in her garden|
This is the story
of people at the bottom of the housing market - people whose lives have been devastated
after a campaign of harassment and intimidation by a new landlord.
Iveson has lived at the Hardwick Bridge Residential Caravan Site in Kings Lynn
for more than six years.
She owns the caravan, valued at £45 000
last year, but rents the plot of land it sits on.
Teresa spent the first
two years repairing and renovating her home and garden.
But in November
2004, the lease for the park was sold.
The site was bought by father and
son Colin and James Crickmore and Maurice Sines.
They made no secret of
the fact that they wanted to redevelop the site.
Since then Teresa Iveson
and the other residents have been 'encouraged' to move out.
Residents say they have been subjected to a campaign of intimidation.
January 2005 Maurice Sines appeared with a team of men and began ripping up fences
and trees immediately adjacent to homes.
The site was left with open sewers,
electric cables and gas bottles littered around.
In the summer of 2004,
there were 72 caravans, a year later there were just 22.
Residents in mobile
home parks have protection against eviction, just like tenants in a house.
they break site rules or don't pay their ground rent, they can't be evicted.
Hardwick Bridge site is actually owned by Kings Lynn council and leased to Sines
and the Crickmores.
Residents thought this would mean they were protected
by the council.
They now believe that they haven't received adequate support
from the council, an accusation the council refutes.
New mobile homes have
now been moved onto the site and are on the market for more than £100 000.
Maurice Sines and the Crickmores have upped their offer from £500
to several thousand pounds to the existing residents to move off the park.
Theresa Iveson has still not been offered the full market price she has now decided
She says she cannot take the stress and fear any more.
Crickmore and Maurice Sines both refused to give an interview to Inside Out.

The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, has demoted the policemen who slapped a civilian on a road at Emouha in Rivers State.
The security agency acted following complaints and findings on video evidence widely circulated on social media on April 9.
The policeman and his colleagues were arrested last week for assault, discreditable conduct, and incivility to members of the public.
After an orderly room trial by the Force Provost Marshal, Adejoh Siaka has been reduced in rank from Inspector to Sergeant.
A statement by Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi said Sergeant Ndiwa Kpuebari, who was present at the scene but failed to discourage Siaka, was reprimanded.
Inspector Friday Obaka, discovered to have been absent from the scene of the skirmish, was discharged unconditionally at the conclusion of the proceedings.
The policemen will be posted out of Rivers State to other Commands and Formations to continue their police duties, Adejobi added.
The Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has tasked officers and men of the Force to be diligent, uphold the tenets of professional policing, and respect human rights.

Advantages of Online Slots
Whether you play online slots for fun or for real money, there are certain basic strategies that you should employ to increase your chances of winning. One of these is the Return to Player Ratio. The higher the Return to Player, the better. A high RTP means that you’re more likely to break even and increase your winnings.

This gives you more opportunities to win! There are many other benefits to online slot gaming, such as lower costs and the freedom to try the games for free before you decide to play for real money.
To win big on an online slot game, you need to know how to read the odds. If you want to maximize your winnings, try to play slots with a lower limit. However, high-limit slots may not pay back as much as a low-limit game. In addition, make sure you play with minimum amounts of money to avoid losing your entire money. When you’re new to the game, it’s always better to start small than to bet large amounts of money.
Playing online slots is fun and exciting! With more variety and better graphics than ever, there’s no reason to miss out on the thrill of winning! Playing slots can be the perfect way to spend your spare time, while gaining valuable experience. Regardless of your skill level, you’ll find that online slots have something for you!

Another advantage of playing online slot machines is the convenience they provide. You can play them from the comfort of your own home, without worrying about noisy onlookers or lurkers. Online slot machines also have a variety of games, making it easier for you to play your favorite game anytime. You can even choose from the best online casinos in the world. The benefits of playing online slots are many and varied. Just imagine yourself playing your favorite games anytime. You’ll never miss the excitement of winning big.
A progressive jackpot is another great way to increase your chances of winning. These jackpots are often higher than normal jackpots, and they can go up to millions of dollars! If you’re lucky enough to win one of these jackpots, you’ll be surprised at how much money you can win! Just remember that the odds of winning are similar to those of playing the lottery! It’s a good idea to choose slots that offer these additional features.

The CSI team is back. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation returns with a sequel, CSI: Vegas.
The CSI – franchise that has spawned several other franchises is set to return in its original form, with William Petersen, Jorja Fox, and Wallace Langham as David Hodges. The new series also includes Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria, Mel Rodriguez, and Mandeep Dhillon. Jason Tracey set to be the writer with CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer TV as producers. Petersen, Jorja, and Langham were all cast of the original series that run for fifteen seasons and became a breaking point in how crime-series drama were produced. The original series was set in Las Vegas, where the new series also takes place.
“Twenty-one years ago, we launched CSI and watched in awe as this new cinematic series launched an entire genre and became a groundbreaking juggernaut that still has global resonance today,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “We are thrilled to welcome the next generation of forensic criminalists to the CSI brand and unite them with the legendary characters from the past who we still love, including the extraordinary Billy Petersen and Jorja Fox. Crimefighting technology has advanced dramatically over the last several years and combined with classic CSI storytelling, we can’t wait to watch this new CSI team do what they do best: follow the evidence.”
Newsome will play the lead investigator; Rodriguez plays Head Medical Examiner who took over after Hugo three years ago. Dhillon stars as a young CSI investigator following her dreams. Both Petersen and Fox reprise their role as Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle.
“I’m excited to be bringing back the CSI franchise to all our fans who have been so loyal to us for all these years,” said Jerry Bruckheimer. “And to be back in Las Vegas where it all started over 20 years ago makes it even more special. We’ve enjoyed working on this project with CBS and look forward to welcoming back Billy, Jorja, and Wallace as they join a new group of talented actors in CSI: Vegas.”
Several key people are executive producers on CSI: Vegas such as Tracey who is also the showrunner with Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, and KristieAnn Reed as well as the original creator Anthony E. Zuiker. Petersen also returns as executive producer for the revival. Viacom CBS Global Distribution Group is distributing internationally.

Good news from Maryland. The House Judiciary Committee has killed a bill that would have prohibited the state from recognizes same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, according to the Maryland Reporter:
"The vote was 12-8 to reject the legislation sponsored by Del. Emmett Burns, a Democratic Baltimore County minister. All six Republicans on the committee voted for the bill, joined by Democrats Gerron Levi, of Prince George’s County, and Kevin Kelly, of Allegany County.
The vote was not a surprise to Judiciary Chairman Joseph Vallario, D-Prince George's, who did not vote, as is customary. Vallario said that 12 members of the committee had co-sponsored legislation last year to allow same-sex marriages in Maryland. 'If that bill’s got 12 sponsors, none of them are going to vote for this bill' to reject same-sex marriage, Vallario said.
Despite sponsorship from a majority of the 22-member committee, last year’s attempt to permit gay marriage never made it out of committee."
Attorney General Douglas Gansler is reviewing the legality of the state recognizing same-sex marriages performed out-of-state. It's not known when he'll rule.

I’m yet to watch “21 Jump Street” again since it came out and actually review it, but I’ll say that when I did see it I thought it was actually a surprise in terms of how good it was, I really enjoyed it. The fact that no one truly expected “21” to be worthwhile is made fun of in “22 Jump Street” in quite an amusing way… Along with the fact that “22” is a sequel to a teen movie, and that the headquarters has conveniently moved across the street to accommodate the numerical adjustment to the title. The point is, the movie enjoys mocking itself to no end, and it is actually pretty hilarious for movie fans and fans of comedy alike. “22 Jump Street” will make you laugh more than you might expect, but it isn’t quite as good as the previous entry beyond that.
Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are back again to go undercover and, as Captain Dickson (Ice Cube) so eloquently puts… “Infiltrate the dealer, find the supplier”. They are chasing the dealer of a college drug called Why-phy, which has the intensely useful effect of increasing your concentration significantly for four hours, but then after that having you trip out like an ice skating octopus. The premise is the same as the first film but that’s not an issue because the change of setting to college is interesting enough and entertaining enough that I didn’t feel like this was the same movie, even though the movie itself clearly expected me too.
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are great in the film, they have decent enough chemistry and the way they juxtapose against each other is very amusing. They fulfil their stereotypes as the jock (for Tatum) and the nerd (for Hill) like you’d expect, unlike the last film that swapped it around. It all works fine and Jonah Hill is a guilty pleasure of mine. Is he the same in every movie he is in? I don’t care. That guy makes me laugh.
“22” is self aware in the best possible way. The first half of the film is littered with jokes that poke fun at sequels and teen movies in general. It’s genuinely hilarious, I would actually go as far as to say this is funnier than “21” was. I was surprised at how often I was laughing to myself because of what was going on in front of me. Watching Schmidt finally manage to climb up onto a truck only to fall off again is wonderful in it’s simplicity and I enjoy “22 Jump Street” to the basic extent that it is easy to kick back and just have a good time, for the most part.
The second half of this film suffers somewhat, I can’t tell whether it was because I was getting bored of the jokes that were technically new but I felt I had heard them before, or whether I was just getting fed up with the movie and it had lost its charm by this point. That’s not to imply the film just suddenly becomes bad, but it doesn’t even come close to comparing to a, quite frankly, brilliant first half. For example, some plot points feel shoe horned in just to wring a few more jokes out of the script. I’m looking at Captain Dickson’s death threats for a mistake Schmidt had made. I won’t spoil it because the whole thing is somewhat amusing but it feels too focused on and detracts from the rest of the film which has had to come to a stand still for a few more quips.
A big problem I have is with the film’s climax. The final skirmish of the movie is dragged out to a ridiculous length and it really did become tedious by that point. One scene I really found just cringe worthy in its length and lack of worthwhile humour involved Jonah Hill and a girl screaming at each other during a stand off because she apparently lent in for a kiss. It’s dragged out like Mr Fantastic getting his nose caught on the spinning teacups, but its nowhere near as entertaining as that would be.
I know the target demographic (which is my age group) will love it, and for once I’m OK with that. “22 Jump Street” has its issues but honestly for a movie like this it did damn well for itself and I can’t deny it points for its surprising (but not consistent) intelligence and just general sensitivity to the teen funny bone. I think even adults may like it for what it is, and that’s a funny movie.

Northern Beaches Benefit in the Budget
Source: Herald Sun- Cayla Dengate
Premier Mike Baird, who is the member for Manly, said he was pleased to finally be able to deliver the upgrades the northern beaches deserved.
“This is a watershed moment for the northern beaches,” he said.
“Whether you’re driving or commuting, we’ll finally deliver upgrades that will make a significant impact.”
The budget will allocate $125 million for building the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system from Mona Vale to the city, including indented bus bays, more frequent services and longer service operating hours.
Mr Baird said the transit lanes would be built kerbside as opposed to the centre of the road and buses would run every few minutes.

Today, the Trump administration finalized it’s plan to open up part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development. This move overturns nearly five decades of effort to protect ANWR from drilling, with environmental groups fighting to block drilling since the Reagan administration.
The Interior Department has completed the required reviews, and has said it will began preparations to auction off leases of the refuge’s coastal plain. The first auction is expected to happen by the end of the year.
The coastal plain, known as Area 1002, is the most important land denning area for polar bears in winter and the birthing grounds for the Porcupine caribou in summer. The Gwich’in people rely on the caribou as a chief food source, as well as for clothing, and tools and ornaments.
Lawsuits are expected from environmental groups.


Former Olympic champion Lilly King has had a few choice words for critics of the US swimming team’s silver and bronze medal glut in Tokyo, calling it inexcusable that second and third places could be considered failures.
After day seven in the pool, the US team had 24 medals - six gold, nine silver and nine bronze. By comparison, by the end of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, 16 of the US’s 33 medals in the pool were of the golden variety.
King, who bagged two gold medals at the Rio Games and has so far won silver and bronze in Tokyo, said US sport’s winning mentality didn’t mean that only gold medals should be celebrated.
“Excuse my French but the fact that we’re not celebrating silver and bronze is bulls**t,” she said on Friday in response to critics of the US team’s performance after finishing second in the women’s 200m breaststroke to South African Tatjana Schoenmaker, who broke the world record.
“What is that about? You get to bring a medal home for your country and just because we compete for the United States and maybe we have extremely high standards for this sort of thing, that doesn’t excuse the fact that we haven’t been celebrating silver and bronze as much as gold.”
King said she was anything but disappointed with her silver in Tokyo.
“I might be more happy with this medal than I’ve been with any of my previous medals, including my two golds in Rio. That’s simply just for the way that I’ve handled myself,” King said.
“We really should be celebrating those silver and bronzes.
“Those are some of the greatest moments of an athlete’s career so why would we not be celebrating that?”
After King’s criticism towards fans, Katie Ledecky won gold in the 800m freestyle final as Australia’s Ariarne Titmus took silver.
Titmus’ little-known ritual
Meanwhile, the mother of Australia’s golden girl Ariarne Titmus has drawn attention to a little-known ritual her daughter performs while standing on the starting blocks before each race.
Titmus, at just 20, is now a two-time gold medallist after claiming the 200m and 400m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics.
In the afterglow of the young gun’s bronze in the 4x100m freestyle relay, mum Robyn revealed a quirk of Titmus’ race process.
Mum and dad Steve were discussing their daughter’s latest medal on Thursday when the topic of superstitions came up.
“There’s something that she does do on the blocks,” Robyn told Channel 7.
If you have a look at her when she’s leaning down with her fingers. It’s almost like she’s playing the piano.
“It’s like a thing she’s done ever since she was a little girl. That is there, that’s her trademark.”
On Thursday, Titmus told Channel 7 she was “absolutely buggered” following a busy Olympics schedule.
“Honestly I’m exhausted. I keep thinking back to Beijing, it was the same as this morning’s heats,” she said.
“(Michael) Phelps won eight golds. I’ve done two and I’m wrecked.”
Titmus will again meet American rival and world record holder Katie Ledecky in the women’s 800m final on Saturday morning.
The Australian has long odds to upset the American, who was fastest into the final in 8:15.67 with her 15-year-old teammate Katie Grimes (8:17.05) next best.
Titmus finished second in her heat and was sixth-quickest into the final in 8:18.99 with compatriot Kiah Melverton (8:20.45) seventh.

A few hours after the general manager said “smoke now,” the Yankees stinked at least overnight.
Instead, they glimpsed the latest bullying of their aggressive potential and the contradictions that made them so “irritating.” In the words of Brian Cashman, throughout 79 games this season.
The Yankees lost four games in a row, defeating the Angels 11-5 at the Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night, scoring the best points of the season and embarking on their next trip to the roller coaster.
We still don’t know when the Yankees (41-38) will be able to survive this climb before the next drop. Most recently, they won seven out of nine to fill the gap in the AL East, but lost four straight headings on Tuesday, and Cashman spoke openly before the explosive victory.
“I know they want to get going urgently, but we also know that you’re doing the worst you can,” Cashman said. “Then trying to knock out ourselves is an effort, but it will look bad until we go online and start high play again. It plays bad and it stinks high heaven now. , We have to own it.
“I have to call it as I see it: it’s pretty bad now.”
The Yankees changed that overnight by defeating the Angels pitching and appearing twice in four runs and four in five runs. Gary Sanchez and Miguel Andujar both hit home runs and doubled, Aaron Judge added a two-run home run, and the Yankees took nine walks. All starters scored at least once and seven had at least one RBI, playing like an attack expected to enter the season.
Jameson Taillon gave up three home runs, including Wednesday’s starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (currently leading the major with 28 home runs), but made his third win of the season in the sixth inning.
The Yankees blew the game for the fourth time, scoring five runs and chasing Angels starter Andrew Heaney out of the game. Andujar started his innings at home, followed by Sanchez and Luke Voit with double RBIs and Gleyber Torres with 10-3 RBIs.
A breakout occurred after Cashman offered to vote for confidence with Aaron Boone and his coach staff.
“It’s not Aaron Boone’s problem, it’s not the coaching staff’s problem,” Cashman said. “They are doing what they need to do, but we are not getting the results we need. They have my support. We are in this together. . “
“Most of the hard work must be done internally,” Cashman said, saying he continues to seek outside support in the slow-developing trade markets.
“We haven’t given up this season,” Cashman said. “I have plenty of time left, but I’m very dissatisfied with the way I play now because I’ve offended so many games. We’re not meeting expectations. It sometimes makes it impossible to see. We’re used to being so different, so it’s frustrating to be part of it. “

Threads of twine twisted together
Working to keep me up
As I swing into the air
My hair trailing behind me.
Crashing my legs into the bushes
I get scratched all over
But I don’t care
Holding onto the rope with all my might.
Wind slashes against my cheeks
Bark and twigs fall in my eyes
The branch sways back and forth, threatening to break
As I spin around in a wild circle.
Leaning back and looking up
The tree’s limbs wrap around the sky
Shining through the foliage
The sun smiles and so do I.

Darts have come a long way since the wooden darts that were used originally. They had a torpedo shaped wooden barrel with a steel tip and turkey feathers as flights. These days the darts are mostly made from tungsten with the 80% tungsten alloy being the most common. Since the advent of tungsten darts the scores of the pros have increased due to their slimmer design. You can make much slimmer darts due to the greater density of tungsten compared to brass (approximately twice as much as brass, so that you can make tungsten darts half the thickness of brass for a given weight.)
Made from the ore wolframite tungsten has the highest melting point of any element on earth at 3000 degrees C and is incredibly hard. The reason you don’t get 100% tungsten darts is because pure tungsten is a very brittle metal and is commonly mixed with nickel to make the dart less brittle and easier to manufacture. 95% tungsten is the highest alloy level so far sold by Bottelsen and are a tad pricey. It is not really worth paying the extra for 95% tungsten darts, if the pros are winning tournaments with 80% darts thats proof enough.
When it comes to the grip on the barrel of the dart there are many types to choose from diamond pattern knurled barrel to plain and now the new edge grip. Just get a design you are comfortable with, try out your mates darts to see what suits you.
Dart tips come in two styles, a fixed steel tip for use on Bristle dartboards or replaceable soft tips for use on electronic dart boards. It is now common for darts to be convertible, with 2BA threads on either end of the barrel, which means you have the best of both worlds, both soft and steel tip options. One point to note here is that usually the maximum weight of dart allowed on electronic dart boards is 20 gram, so if you want your darts to be used on all type of boards, do not go over 20 gms for your dart barrel.
Next comes the shaft to hold the flights, it should be light to keep the weight of the dart forward and are made from plastic, aluminium, steel wire or even titanium! The only thing to worry about with the shafts is that they are straight and undamaged so the flights are held in place properly. The newest shaft is a spinning shaft, which doesn’t spin in flight like you might think, it simply moves the flight out of the way if another dart hits the flight in play. This seems a great idea to me, it helps to protect the flight as well.
That just leaves the flights, which come in loads of amazing designs and materials. The shapes include the classic “kite” design, which are relatively large to the pear drop and all stages in between. Ensure you use the same style of flight on all 3 darts and keep them spread so that there is a 90 degree angle between the four flight pieces to aid in consistency of your throw. Also use flight protectors, not only do they protect your flight; they will keep the flight at the optimum shape as a bonus.
So to sum up, get yourself some tungsten darts, the average weight is 18 20 grams. If you want to go heavier, remember the heaviest weight allowed on most electronic dart boards is 20 grams. (You can have up to 50-gram darts on Bristle boards) Nylon shafts are ok to use, spinner shafts are a good idea as well and use the kite style flight if a beginner and always use flight protectors. If you have steel tip darts keep the point sharp for easy entry into the dart board. A simple strip of grinding paper will do. For soft tip darts take along plenty of spares and your dart tool.

It got pretty, pretty, pretty hot and steamy inside Atlanta’s Philips Arena on Monday night thanks to a few sexy r&b studs.
Chris Brown and Trey Songz’ Between The Sheets show was especially exciting last night because there were several guest appearances, including B.o.B, T.I and legendary artists, Keith Sweat and R. Kelly.
During the show, Brown and Songz started to pay homage to R. Kelly by first singing their track,“Songs on 12 Play.” And all of a sudden, Kells made his way on stage and joined the men. The group went into hits like “Ignition” and “Bump N’ Grind” … but it didn’t stop there.
As if the Pied Piper wasn’t enough to get fans riled up, they added Keith to the stage who cranked out his hit, “Nobody.”
Monica and Shannon Brown were just one of several stars to take in the star studded performance. The singer posted a photo on Instagram of her herself, her hubby, Chris, Keith with the caption:
“#RecapOfLastNight …. @authenticity_unmasked @chrisbrownofficial #Mo Polow and the legendary Keith Sweat.. One of my favorite parts of the concert was watching Chris & Trey pay homage to @rkelly & @KeithSweat.. #WhoKilledTheStageByTheWay #RealRandB #PayRespectsToTheWayPavers.”

Audio Lag/Synchronization Questions
Hey Tony -
I have seen audio lag issues being brought up on multiple bose forums. Here are some questions I have about that. Firstly there is highly likely nothing wrong with the Bose hardware.
1. It could be a 'lag' from the streaming end of the Internet if it is an Internet app such as Youtube or Vimeo. Could that be a contributor? If so, wouldn't we see a sync problem even with the builtin speakers of the streaming device?
2. I am guessing (though I am not technically knowledgeable about the protocols), that the lag if bluetooth related/caused could be related to either the Bluetooth protocols 4.x themseleves or the speed of the bluetooth hardware or both. So would an improvement or fix require either (a) faster BT hardware on either one or both ends or (b) a change to the BT protocols - i.e., an improvement done in BT 5.0 or (c) both
3. Bose does not yet have a wireless device supporting BT 5. Will BT 5 be restricted to only new/future delivered Bose devices or could we hope to see BT 5 introduced through firmware updates in our current Bose devices?

Mexican presidential candidates mostly mute on drug wars
Mexican presidential candidates pose before the first electoral debate on May 6. From left, Enrique Pena Nieto, Josefina Vasquez Mota,Gabriel Cuadri and Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

MEXICO CITY – The discovery of 49 decapitated bodies on a highway leading to the U.S. border would seem like the time for Mexico's presidential candidates to denounce the drug cartels and say how they will stop them.
But none of the four candidates issued statements on the tragedy or posted comments on their Twitter accounts.
Not long after the news made headlines the world over, candidate Gabriel Quadri of the teacher-union-controlled New Alliance Party said via Twitter that the song Hot for Teacher was among his favorite Van Halen tunes.
The reason for the silence, say political observers here, is no one has an answer for the violence.
"It's an uncomfortable topic for which (the candidates) don't have responses … or something clear to offer," says Jorge Buendía, director of the polling firm Buendía & Laredo.
The massacre in Nuevo León state, 95 miles from the U.S. border at McAllen, Texas, and two other mass murders over the prior 10 days, were reminders that drug cartels and organized crime remain serious threats to the rule of law in Mexico.
The presidential candidates who seek to take over for outgoing President Felipe Calderón after July 1 elections act as if it is an issue like any other. They talk incessantly of jobs, energy, taxes and labor, but not of the criminal syndicates that are murdering thousands of people yearly, corrupting police and politicians, and making parts of Mexico ungovernable.
Calderón put crime at the top of his agenda after taking office in December 2006. He has gone hard after the cartels in the past 5½ years, during which time more than 50,000 people have died in criminal-related killings. Calderón is barred by law from a second term, and his successor will take over in December.
When politicians shy away from a serious issue, it often falls to the media to bring it up. But the killings are so numerous they have become routine news.
Political and security analysts say the candidates' proposals differ little from Calderón's methods: improving the professionalism of the police, bolstering intelligence-gathering and keeping soldiers in the streets for now the time being.
"There aren't many good alternatives to what's being done already," independent political analyst Fernando Dworak says. "It's not politically profitable to say, 'We're going to withdraw the army and marines from violent areas.' "
Calderón has an overall approval rating of 50%, according to the latest Consulta Mitofsky poll, but his rating drops when it comes to the security situation. A survey published by Mexicans United Against Crime in November found that only 14% of Mexicans believe the government will "win the war against organized crime."
Profiting politically from the dissatisfaction is difficult because security isn't the strong suit of any of the parties or candidates, says analyst Alejandro Hope of the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness.
Front-runner Enrique Peña Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) may want to avoid the subject given that PRI administrations govern Mexico's most violent regions along the northern border, Hope says.
Josefina Vázquez Mota, who is running under Calderón's National Action Party, has little incentive to trumpet his party's handling of security given the high death toll, says Hope. Left-wing candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador sees poverty reduction as his wedge into office and solution for insecurity.
When asked at a news conference what he would do differently, Peña Nieto said, "The first difference will be results." He mostly talks of jobs and economic growth, instead.
The PRI says it is reasonable to prioritize the economy. "The surveys we've done show the main problems people have are jobs and poverty," PRI spokesman Eduardo Sánchez says.
Even a monthly increase in gas prices of less than a penny sometimes generates larger headlines than mass killings.
"A one-peso-a-month increase adds up to a lot of money," says Alejandra Domínguez, a laundromat employee unhappy with the economic situation. "Prices always go up and wages don't keep pace."
As Hope says, most Mexicans are plain tired of the crime story. "There continues being the same worry among the people, but there's a certain fatigue with it," he says.

Another important control in flotation is air addition to each cell as it often has the fastest dynamic response, for example to the speed of the froth in the cells. it is important to ensure that airflow meters are working and correctly located and that control valves are working properly.
The froth recovery package enables you to better control the froth phase, which in turn improves the performance of the flotation cell. the addition of the radial froth crowders adds a new dimension to the control strategy. it allows you to shift the grade recovery curve by allowing either deeper froth or faster froth
A key part of successful plant control is the operation of the flotation circuit. flotation cells have three main control parameters 1 reagent dosing rate 2 froth depth and 3 air addition rate. many other parameters may vary such as feed rate, particle size distribution
Visual observation ofquot the metal-bearing froth is the traditional method of feedback for the manual control of flotation. following recent developments of measuring instrumentation, on-line control computer may now enter the flotation plant.
Flotation is a complex process that is affected by a multitude of factors. these factors may be inherent in the circuit design, or in how the flotation plant is operated. the floatstar suite of control modules utilises advanced process control to overcome design-related limitations and maximise circuit performance during operation.
Of interest in a flotation cell is how deep the froth is above the slurry, as this determines the grade of the resulting concentrate. the typical range for a froth depth is 600 mm from the top of the flotation cell, the launder, down to the slurry interface. here we are actually trying to measure the depth of a froth
The control of flotation plants can be achieved by controlling aeration rate, reagent addition or froth depth. however, these control actions are effective over different time scales. reagent addition is slower in its effect as some conditioning time is required. also since reagents are typically introduced at the head of the circuit and at

A method of controlling operation of a froth floatation cell for separating substances comprises introducing gas into liquid in the cell, creating a froth controlling gas flow rate into the cell in order to maximise gas recovery for the cell.

A method and system of maintaining substantially steady state conditions in a froth flotation operation. in the method an aqueous pulp of finely ground ore particles continuously flows into a flotation cell and is continuously aerated by admission of air wherein aqueous pulp of flotation concentrates substantially continuously overflow from the cell.
Froth flotation, also called ore flotation when used in mining applications, is a method for physically separating particles by having air bubbles selectively adhere to specific surfaces. the particles with attached air bubbles are carried to the surface and removed.
With a broad range of froth flotation solutions and concise performance control, nalco water can help you navigate fluctuations in ore and operation conditions, minimizing potential losses. download the following brochure on the phosphate beneficiation process to learn more.
Froth flotation is a complicated process which is difficult to establish its first-principle model. due to the fluctuations in the grade of raw ore, adaptively adjusting the set-points is extremely important in the flotation process. the inappropriate set-points easily lead to the instability of the process. this paper presents a fuzzy association rule-based set-point adaptive optimization and ...
A more or less stable layer of froth is maintained on the surface of the slurry. particles that are attached to bubbles will tend to remain attached at air-water interfaces when the bubble enters the froth layer. particles that are retained in the froth are recovered at the lip of the froth weir at the edge of the flotation

back for more of one of my very favourite writers..without your tunes this week Mike ,i've been "running in circles"!! Now I think i'll feel a lot more settled!
Love how you mixed 'Blue Eyes' very cool how you've panned the guitars... Love the song too!
To paraphrase Messers Perry & Cain of Journey, (ahem) "so here I come, with open ears hoping you'll see what your tunes mean to me, open eeeeeears". Yes, it's Bad Karaoke Thursday here at MWP Headquarters, but that doesn't preclude a quick whip-around some of my favourite RN songs of the moment. Yours included. Have a groovin and somewhat cheesy day yourself!!
Micheal, I really like your songwriting skills brother:)
"My Ship" soulful songwriting and voice Michael. Love your style. All best wishes.
Hi Michael - I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply to your gracious comments on my page. I started listening at September Mornings and kept going - great collection of songs - beautiful songwriting - your vocals make me feel nostalgic - for what i don't know - It's a good thing. ;)
My Ship is so beautiful. Love the richness and tonal colour in your voice. Frank Smith
September morning and blue eyes:gorgeous

While advocates of payday loans say they grant mortgage access to people with poor or no credit score, critics say these short time period” loans unfairly goal minority populations and trap people into lengthy debt cycles. Lending to customers with out requiring a credit check is considered dangerous by some. For that reason, rates of interest on payday loans are sometimes exorbitantly excessive. Based on the (CFPB) , A typical two-week payday mortgage with a $15 per $one hundred payment equates to an annual proportion fee (APR) of almost 400 p.c.” On the upper end of the spectrum, some payday mortgage corporations https://whataboutloans.net/alabama/ cost interest rates of over seven-hundred%. Which means for a $500 loan, you can end up paying again virtually $4000. Attainable’s borrowing price aims to be shopper-pleasant at an APR of about one hundred fifty% on most loans. Potential realizes that a customer who hasn’t established credit score or has bad credit on account of financial issues of their past can still be a accountable borrower.
Basically, the website is handy, however, it isn’t very informative. The corporate did not specify many related details that interest borrowers earlier than utility: approximate interest rates, late fees, minimal and most quantities for some loan varieties and some others. I conclude that this website requires optimization.
Among the many advantages of payday loans is that lenders are sometimes keen to work with individuals who have less than good credit score. The fact your credit standing is just too low to your lender to increase a short-time period loan does not matter. So long as you meet the fundamental qualifications which the payday mortgage lender has set up, you’ve got a implausible chance of being permitted.
In keeping with the CFB , greater than 80 % of payday loans are rolled over. If you roll over a mortgage, you pay the finance cost and have another two weeks to pay back the initial quantity. For example, for those who take out $200 with a $40 cost payday loans online Alabama, you’d normally pay $240 at the finish of a two-week period. If you cannot pay all of it again, you pay the $forty and rollover the $200 while additionally taking up another $40 finance charge. When you pay that loan again, you end up paying a total of $280.

A simple technique for stamping patterns invisible to the human eye onto a special class of nanomaterials provides a new, cost-effective way to produce novel devices in areas ranging from drug delivery to solar cells. The technique was developed by Vanderbilt University engineers and described in the cover article of the May issue of the journal Nano Letters.
The new method works with materials that are riddled with tiny voids that give them unique optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. Imagine a stiff, sponge-like material filled with holes that are too small to see without a special microscope. For a number of years, scientists have been investigating the use of these materials — called porous nanomaterials — for a wide range of applications including drug delivery, chemical and biological sensors, solar cells and battery electrodes. There are nanoporous forms of gold, silicon, alumina, and titanium oxide, among others.
A major obstacle to using the materials has been the complexity and expense of the processing required to make them into devices.
Now, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Sharon M. Weiss and her colleagues have developed a rapid, low-cost imprinting process that can stamp out a variety of nanodevices from these intriguing materials.
“It’s amazing how easy it is. We made our first imprint using a regular tabletop vise,” Weiss said. “And the resolution is


text: Today is World Food Day, started 75 years ago by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. As a farming-centred organization we see first-hand every single day, how farmers in our region grow food for the world. We also know the importance of their role in this global supply chain. This year’s theme, in light of the pandemic is: “Grow, nourish, sustain. Together. Our actions are our future.” As farmers, this is what we do every day. Please join with us in recognizing this exceptional moment as countries around the world deal with the widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As Canadians we are very fortunate to have a safe and secure food supply, and farmers are a big part of that. This video produced by the FAO gives a short summary of why this day is so important.
