The Department of Public Health and Wellness has found West Nile infected mosquitoes in surveillance traps in three Louisville ZIP Code areas. The ZIP Codes are 40212, 40213, and 40214.
“This indicates that West Nile infected mosquitoes are now present throughout our community,” said Dr. Sarah Moyer, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness. “We advise everyone to take the appropriate precautions no matter what ZIP Code you live in. You should wear insect repellant if you go outside during dusk or dawn and should remove standing water around your home.”
The Department of Public Health and Wellness advises people to take the following precautions:
Avoid Mosquito Bites
Mosquito-Proof Your Home
No human cases of West Nile have been reported in Louisville so far this year. Last year there was one non-fatal human case. In 2016 there were two human cases and one death. In 2015, there were three human cases with no deaths.
In most instances, people infected with West Nile virus either show no symptoms or relatively mild symptoms. However, less than one percent of infected people develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis. Serious illness can occur in people of any age. However, people over 60 years of age are at the greatest risk for severe disease. People with certain medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, and people who have received organ transplants, are also at greater risk for serious illness.
The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness has operated a mosquito control program for more than 50 years. The department does surveillance of mosquito populations with traps strategically located throughout the community, and tests mosquitos for such diseases as West Nile, Zika and St. Louis Encephalitis.
In the spring the department pre-treats potential mosquito breeding sites with larvicide to prevent hatch offs. In the summer it treats catch basins and performs mosquito fogging in response to West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne diseases.
To check if your area has been fogged or will be fogged call the mosquito hotline, 574-6641, or visit https://louisvilleky.gov. To make a request regarding mosquitoes in your neighborhood call Metro Call at 311 or 574-5000.

Udemy – N.E.U.R.O Salary Negotiation System™:5 Mins to Higher Salary [100% off]
Do you feel underpaid and undervalued at work and want to ask for a raise, but are anxious and don’t know how to do it?
Are you looking for jobs, but keep running into dead ends?
Are you ready to take your earnings to the next level?
If you’re like many of my students, the answer is yes. You may even be getting underpaid by THOUSANDS of dollars a year.
Did you know that while 80+% Recruiters were willing to negotiate, but 79% of all people did not even attempt to negotiate their salary and benefits?
Here’s why: The thought of negotiation makes them nervous, they don’t know how to find their worth, they’re afraid of losing the offer, and they simply don’t know what to say. Unfortunately, they’re leaving thousands, even millions on the table.
In reality, Salary Negotiations are like romantic comedies. We all know that the first argument is never the end of the relationship. We all know that in the end, the guy gets the girl (or vice versa). Similarly, we all know the first salary offer is never the best offer. The manager always has some more money at his disposal for your raise. We just need to know the right way to follow so that the boy gets the girl i.e. you get the salary you deserve. By the end of this course, you will have your personalized system to get the salary raise you deserve. This system has been developed based on numerous discussions with employers, HR and decision makers (from startups to billion dollar companies). This has worked for me. This has worked for my students. And this will work for you.
Learning to negotiate is the best investment you can make in your life. Imagine if you boost your salary by $500 per month today, can you guess how much difference it would make? Let’s say that you work for 50 years. If we apply a compound interest of 6%, this $500 raise will help you get an extra $1.8 Million in the bank. Yes, this sounds unbelievable! But, it’s the true. Carnegie Mellon Economist, Linda Babcock, estimates that failing to negotiate your salary at the beginning of your career will cost you $1.0 – $1.5 million in earnings over the course of your career. So, I am sure you have understood that a small salary difference today can completely change how you live your retirement years. So, if you want to boost your lifetime earnings by millions, just go through the course and be successful in getting that salary raise that you truly deserve.
The best way to become an effective negotiator (and develop any skill) is by actually doing it. The only problem with learning how to negotiate your salary from your own experience, is that the stakes are so high. In salary negotiations, making a mistake will have a lasting effect on your lifetime earnings. Future raises are almost always based on your current salary, and if you fail to negotiate well, you will be playing catch-up for the rest of your career.
In this course, I’ll be teaching you the exact system that I used to double my salary every 3 years, allowing me to get out of huge debt and save up 6 years of living expenses.
How would you like to have an extra $5,000 every year?
I surveyed former students and the average raise was more than $5,000. 1 in 5 increased their salary by $10,000 or more! Money that could be used for a vacation, a new home, or to pay off student loans or credit cards.
Using an easy-to-follow storytelling approach — along with my proven system, case studies, interesting stories, graphs, templates, humor, and personal experience, this course gives readers the tools to conquer “the evil HR lady.”
Depending on what stage you are; you can experience an increase in your income in the next 3 months
Please – if you are looking for some instant double your income, get rich quick scheme then this is not the course for you. You will need to put into action the methods taught in this course over a short period of time and then you will get the results you want to experience.
Whether you’re an investment banker or a sales representative, this course will help to negotiate the best remuneration package.
You’ll also have access to tools and other resources like worksheets and email templates to help you implement what you learn. You will be equipped with word-for-word scripts and powerful tactics that you can use to confidently and effectively boost your earnings.
And, at the end of this course, you will be prepared to effectively negotiate…
- Your salary
- Your signing bonus
- Your relocation bonus
- Your targeted performance bonus
- Your corporate housing
- Your stock compensation (equity)
- Sick days
- Vacations days
- Remote working
- Hours in the office
- And much more!
Special BONUSES include:
- The magical salary negotiation scripts
- Frequently asked questions about the negotiation process, including common mistakes and SECRET tactics
Click the “take this course” button right now … every hour you delay is costing you money you should be earning …
I’ll show you how you can get paid what you deserve….
- Even if you’ve never negotiated before
- Even if you’re not sure you’re worth it
- Even if you don’t have 15 years of experience
- Even in this economy…when they “don’t have a budget”
My goal for YOU in this course is to provide you with the most simple, useful, and powerful techniques regarding this often misunderstood topic. Finish this course and you’ll feel empowered regarding a topic that makes most people squirm and ultimately settle for less.

Aircraft taking off or landing at small airports in Europe might soon be guided from towers hundreds of kilometers away.
The technology is one of the innovations being pursued by the European Union to unclog air lanes in a region grappling with high air-traffic-control costs. Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas on Wednesday committed €600 million, or about $780 million, in funding for the technology element of the EU's Single European Sky program, which aims to eliminate borders for regulating aviation.
Technology is being tested by Swedish aerospace company Saab SAABF 1.03 % AB that allows a single controller to operate as many as five distant airports, with the ability to, for example, switch on runway lighting and deliver crash alerts. Ten cameras and a battery of sensors allow the controller to have a better view of what's going on in the air and on the ground than on-site controllers typically do, Saab said.
A remotely controlled tower costs 50% to 60% less to operate than a manned one without sacrificing safety, Saab Chief Strategy Officer Dan Jangblad said. "Keeping a chair warm 24 hours a day, seven days a week takes six or seven people."
Remote control could be attractive for airports with light traffic—fewer than 150 flights a day—and makes most sense when there are only a few daily arrivals and departures. It isn't suitable for traffic at busy hubs such as London's Heathrow Airport, which had an average of 1,288 daily takeoffs and landings last year, according to Eurocontrol, the umbrella organization for European air-navigation agencies.
"At an airfield where the traffic is light, does it make sense to devote resources 24 hours a day to man a control tower for one daily flight when we have the technology to allow us to ensure the safety of the aircraft remotely?" asks Hervé Breton, a former controller at Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport. "Personally, I think it's possible."
Saab operates a low-traffic airport at Örnscöldsvik from a Swedish control tower 145 kilometers away in Sundsvall, in eastern Sweden. The company also is testing a remote system to control traffic at a helicopter base in the distant reaches of northern Norway. A trial in Alice Springs in northern Australia is being operated from Adelaide, 1,500 kilometers away, to test the system in hot and dusty conditions. Trials are also scheduled for midsize German airports at Saarbrücken, Erfurt and Dresden through 2015.
Three or four airports in Sweden are "very excited" about the system, said Erik Backman, head of remote-tower services for Sweden's state-controlled air-navigation services company LFV, which is conducting the trials with Saab. LFV estimates labor cost-savings of as much as 30% over a manned tower.
Many controllers in Europe are worried that the innovation could cause job cuts. French air controllers went on strike last month to protest the latest EU push for the Single European Sky.
The EU's Mr. Kallas said fears about job losses were unfounded. Adding efficiency to air-traffic control would increase flights in Europe, creating jobs, not eliminating them, he said. "We think the time has come to make more decisive action on behalf of Europe's air transport customers and also airlines."
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration also has toyed with the idea of remote-tower systems, though none is in operation. The FAA has said it would have to close 149 of the 516 control towers across the U.S. because of federal budget cuts, boosting the appeal of remote towers.
Dale Wright, director for safety and training at the National Air Traffic Controllers Association in the U.S., said remote-tower technology "is dead center on our radar screen." The association sees possibilities for remote-tower operations at airports without towers of their own, Mr. Wright said. But the group is skeptical about substituting manned towers with cameras and sensors. One drawback is that remote towers might have difficulty picking up small planes, he said. The impact of power outages also is something that needs to be studied closely, he said.
The airport in Beckley, W.Va., which doesn't have a tower, next week will demonstrate another technology—the airport calls it a Synthetic Air Traffic Advisory System—using off-the-shelf electronics to provide automated guidance on traffic and flying conditions for aircraft and their pilots. Adding a remote-tower system would reduce the risks of collisions, said Thomas Cochran, Beckley's airport manager.
LFV and Saab hope the system they are testing will be approved by Swedish authorities by the end of next month and that it can be fully operational by November. That would allow the companies to start marketing the system in Sweden and other countries. LFV operates air-traffic services in Abu Dhabi, where authorities are interested in using a remote-tower system for small airports on islands.

Building Integration of Aerogel Glazings
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Original versionProcedia Engineering. 2016, 145 723-728. 10.1016/j.proeng.2016.04.090
The recent building practices have shown that aerogel glazings can be used as a multifunctional building envelope component for different purposes. Nevertheless, the distinctive physical properties and energy performance of aerogel glazings suggest that building integration of aerogel glazings may create architectural challenges, aesthetic problems, as well as concerns on their durability and environmental impact, thus highlighting the importance of developing guidelines to regulate the use of aerogel glazings in the building sector. This study discusses various approaches for the building integration of aerogel glazings by presenting a number of successful examples; the advantages of integration are quantified and suggestions are given to address the possible challenges.

It is difficult to exaggerate the significance of the life of Susan Ryan. She was a woman of her time determined to make the world a different and better place. She had a fierce intelligence and the courage to take on the system when she saw the need for change to improve the lives of Australians.
Her sudden death on September 27 came as an unbearable shock to those close to her as I was. We had been friends for nearly 50 years brought together by the feminist politics of the early 1970s. We were co-founders of the Women’s Electoral Lobby (WEL), she in Canberra and me in Sydney.

Oishi Sponge Crunch Milk
Taste test: These tube-shaped bars followed the same form factor as the chocolate version. The surfaces of the inch-diameter, 5-inch-long tubes were pale yellow overall, with whiter areas where there seemed to be more of the coating.
I bit in to find a good solid crunch, not hard but very crunchy — though not spongy at all. The flavor was kind of like white chocolate, just lightly sweet, and it combined with the corn-based bar structure for a cereal-like taste.

SPASH boys hockey team continues hot streak
By John Kemmeter
With a mix of veterans and underclassmen contributing, the Stevens Point Area Senior High School (SPASH) boys hockey team has been on a roll heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
The sixth-ranked Panthers (15-2-0) went 2-0 to win the 20th Sentry Classic at K.B. Willett Arena Friday and Saturday, Jan. 12 and 13, and followed with a 4-3 win at second-ranked Wausau West (10-4-1) Monday, Jan. 15, to move into a first-place tie with West at the top of the Wisconsin Valley Conference (WVC) standings and run their winning streak to 12 games.
“We’re playing very well,” said SPASH boys hockey head coach Brandon Busse. “We’ve counted on some guys to step up big and they have, and the younger guys have, too.
“So, we’re very happy with the way we’ve been playing,” he said. “We’ve been on a pretty good stretch here, and we just want to continue that into playoffs.”

Students from around the world participate each year in the Frogs Are Green kids art contest, but we don’t always know about the lessons. I’m so pleased to share this letter we received from an art teacher in Belgrade, Serbia.
The first group of students we worked with were 13 year olds. We divided the whole class into groups and each group had worked on one area; had an electronic presentation; and their own artistic work. I must add that your project was so inspiring, that my colleague who teaches biology and I followed your recommendation on classes with six groups of students and each group had its own presentation and art project related to different areas of life of frogs. All groups performed their works of art, posters, collages, 3-d reliefs, etc., and during this time, one group went out in front of the screen and commented on the photos from their presentation. Other professors and pupils were present, so we designed the final part of the lesson as some kind of dialogue; comments and questions from the audience, to which the students responded.
It turned out that this was a very successful class. The children have responded to a great extent. In the second half of the school year, we will try something different with another group of children. We plan to make a short interactive story, a kind of dramatic play where students will make and wear masks of different types of frogs from around the world. All of them will communicate with each other and thus describe their characteristics. This new idea with masks and drama dialogs is just getting ready, so I’ll send you photos and information when it is done.
Bye, all the best,

One of life's worst tragedies involves mothers who give birth, only to lose their lives soon after. Their children don't get to sit on their laps as toddlers, look into their eyes, or experience their love. While a new mother's death is still relatively rare, this fate is becoming more common in Texas.
The Lone Star State has earned the infamous distinction of having its women die of pregnancy-related ailments at a higher rate than any state, with black women bearing the greatest risk. If Texas were a nation, it would have the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, hovering near Mexico's.
It should go without saying that this is an unacceptable distinction. Solutions unsurprisingly include better access to health care, which pending state legislation aims to address and deserves support. One bill by state Rep. Sarah Davis, R-West University Place, and state Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, would afford more new moms the opportunities to get screened for postpartum depression. After clearing the House, the bill passed the Senate Health and Human Services Committee 9 to 0. This bill's aim is to help reduce suicide among new mothers.
Other worthy efforts this session include a bill by state Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, to study pregnancy-related deaths and evaluate options to address the crisis, and one filed by state Sen. Borris Miles, D-Houston, to promote best practices for reporting and investigating pregnancy-related deaths.
The human tragedy of maternal mortality is unquantifiable. The death of a mother not only alters her child's life forever but also those of family members who must step up in a terrible situation.
Compassion aside, the state has a compelling, economic reason to take better care of Texas mothers: poor access to good medical care for women also costs the state of Texas money. The Legislature is finalizing a state budget that could jeopardize Medicaid, a program that plays a key role in providing prenatal care so pregnant women can be healthy and have healthy births.
In 2015, Medicaid covered the cost of 52 percent of births in the state. Yet the Legislature's proposed budget significantly underfunds Medicaid. This is short-sighted.
For every woman who dies, many more suffer a severe complication. Every dollar spent in prenatal care saves three dollars in the neonatal costs of caring for a low-birth weight baby. Currently, the average cost to Texas Medicaid for premature or low-birth weight infants is 200 times higher than the cost of healthy, full-term births, according to Texas Health and Human Services Commission data.
Yet in Texas, politics can stand in the way of common sense. On the Friday before Mother's Day, when most people were making plans to celebrate, a small group of House members dealt a double blow to Texas women. Members of the Freedom Caucus killed two helpful bills - a study of why many black women in Texas die during pregnancy and a bill that would have connected certain first-time mothers to Medicaid services - along with over 120 other bills.
In the waning days of this session, there's still an opportunity to save lives. Texas lawmakers need to put politics aside and redouble their efforts to help Texas women.

- This study aimed to investigate pediatric patients aged < 12 years who had oral and maxillofacial lesions and were referred to the Tabriz Pediatric Hospital during the 10-year period of 2010-2020. In this prospective, cross-sectional study, documents with final diagnosis were separated, and the demographic data of the patients, including age, sex, and location of lesions, were collected from the records. Microscopic slides of each case were reviewed by two pathologists. The lesions were classified into the following five categories: developmental lesion, benign tumors, malignant tumors, infectious lesions, and inflammatory lesions. One-way ANOVA was applied to compare the frequency of the lesions using SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Overall, 9,314 biopsy records of pediatric patients aged ≤12 years were studied. We identified and analyzed 8,993 cases with inflammatory lesions, 171 with developmental lesions, 71 with reactive lesions, 64 with benign tumors, and 15 with malignant tumors. Furthermore, the most common lesion site was the neck ( >98.5%), and the most uncommon site was the nasal area, accounting for only two lesions. Moreover, among inflammatory lesions, follicular hyperplasia and tonsillitis were the most common with a frequency of 99.1% (8,916 cases) observed in 3,656 (40.7%) female and 5,337 (59.3%) male. Sixty-nine (40.4%) female and 102 (59.6%) male had developmental lesions. The present results showed that the most common type was inflammatory lesion whereas the least common type was malignant lesion.

Bangalore, Feb 29 (UNI) The silk production in the country was expected to touch 26,000 metric ton during the XI plan from the current 18,475 metric tons, Central Silk Board Member Secretary M Satyavathi said today.
Speaking after inaugurating 'Vanya Silk Shoppee' here, she said that the allocation for Sericulture has been more than doubled in the XI plan with allocation being Rs 880 Crore against 420 Crore in the Tenth plan.
Ms Satyavathi said that with increase in production the export of silk was targeted at Rs 4,600 Crores by the end of 11th plan from the present Rs 3,300 Crore.
She said though India stands second, next to China, in silk production, efforts were being made to catch up with the neighbouring country. The country's consumption of silk was to the tune of 24,000 metric tonns and to fill the gap about 6000 tons were imported from China at present.
About 'Vanya Silk' she said that it was popular in north East and many steps have been taken by the Board to popularise Tasar, Muga and Eri variety. The Muga variety fetches four times more than the Mulberry famous in South India and efforts have been made to increase the production of Vanya Silk during the XI plan. Of the total silk production of 18,475 metric tons, production of non-mulberry was about 1900 metric tonns and the Board wants to increase it to 3000 metric tonns during the XI plan period.
She said that 'Vanya Silk Shoppee' opened here today was the second after New Delhi, and the main objective was to showcase all India varieties of Vanya Silk and provide a platform for small manufacturers, handloom weavers, tribal artisans NGOs, retail traders of Vanya Silk to exhibit and sell their products.
The Shoppee would also be utilised for popularising the Silk Mark, a quality label for pure silk products being promoted by the Board. The stakeholders for the Vanya silk are mostly people in backward tribal areas living at remote areas in States like Assam, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Uttaranchal who are facing competition in the market.
Replying to a question, Ms Satyavathi said that after introduction of anti-dumping tax four years back, the dumping by China has come down considerably.

The plaintiffs in this action were Diamond Fortress Technologies, Inc. (Diamond Fortress) and its CEO, Charles Hatcher II. Diamond Fortress is a biometric software company that developed a patented software called ONYX. ONYX is a touchless fingerprint identification software that uses the camera on the user’s device to detect the user’s fingerprint and verify their identity. Diamond Fortress markets the software to third parties, which can integrate the ONYX software into their own platforms by purchasing a license and software development kit. Buyers often hire Mr. Hatcher as an advisor to assist with integration and management. The defendant was EverID, Inc. (EverID), a Delaware corporation active in the emerging blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. EverID created the cryptocurrency “ID Tokens.” In connection with ID Tokens, EverID developed a blockchain-based identity and financial platform but needed a means to verify user identities.
In September 2018, the parties entered into a License Agreement under which the majority of Diamond Fortress’s compensation would be in ID Tokens. The License Agreement granted EverID an exclusive license to ONYX for digital or blockchain wallet applications for a 10-year term. In exchange, EverID would compensate Diamond Fortress with an initial payment of US$2,500 plus “Run-Time Transactions Fees” equal to 15 percent of gross revenues received from the sales of products using the ONYX technology. The Run-Time Transaction Fees were due quarterly. The License Agreement further provided that EverID would grant Diamond Fortress 10 million ID Tokens, which would be delivered when EverID held its initial coin offering (ICO) (the cryptocurrency equivalent of an initial public offering) or other token distribution event(s) defined in the License Agreement. The 10-million-token grant would be treated as an advance and credited to EverID as payment for Run-Time Transaction Fees. The token grant was also subject to a lock-up provision, whereby the first 25 percent of the tokens would be distributed as of the ICO or other distribution event, and the balance of 75 percent of the tokens would be distributed in 20 equal quarterly distributions after the event. EverID executed a separate Advisor Agreement with Mr. Hatcher with a similar compensation structure.
On February 8, 2021, EverID had its ICO. At that time, EverID should have tendered its first partial payments to the plaintiffs. EverID failed to make these payments. Despite numerous efforts by plaintiffs ‒ both directly and through counsel ‒ EverID refused to respond or distribute the tokens. The plaintiffs filed suit for breach of contract in Delaware Superior Court. Upon EverID’s failure to respond or otherwise defend itself, the Court entered a default judgment against EverID under Rule 55(b). That much was relatively straightforward.
The puzzle for the Court was to determine the remedy given the novel type of consideration involved in these contracts. The Court found that the plaintiffs could treat EverID’s failure to provide adequate assurance of performance within a reasonable time as repudiation of the contract. And, the Court further found that this “repudiation coupled with simultaneous non-performance gives rise to an action for total breach, allowing the non-breaching party to bring an action for the entire contract price.” The question was how the contract price should be calculated. After granting the default judgment, the Court ordered the plaintiffs to submit supplemental briefing on damages and then issued this subsequent opinion on the computation of damages.
The Court began its analysis with the acknowledgment that this appears to be a novel area of law in Delaware: “When the consideration to be paid on a contract is in cryptocurrency and the contract is breached, how does the Court calculate the judgment to be entered?”
The Court explained that before fashioning a proper award, it must first determine how to classify cryptocurrency, asking, “is it a security/investment contract, a commodity, property, or currency?” The lack of consensus among authorities exacerbates the problem. For example, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) says that digital currencies are commodities subject to its regulatory authority. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), on the other hand, maintains that digital currencies are subject to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In mid-2021, Congress introduced the Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act (Digital Asset Act). The Court pointed out that, under this proposed legislation, “it appears that a cryptocurrency’s characteristics at a given time best determine whether it is subject to SEC or CFTC regulation.” The Digital Asset Act provides that, within 150 days of enactment, the SEC and CFTC will jointly publish a proposed classification of each of the major digital assets as “digital assets” or “digital asset securities.” In defining “major digital assets,” the mandate refers the SEC and CFTC to the CoinMarketCap website as “an appropriate publicly available website” that publishes data on digital assets. Even though the Digital Asset Act is yet to be enacted, the Court in this case seemed to take as persuasive both the Digital Asset Act’s focus on the cryptocurrency’s characteristics, as well as its endorsement of CoinMarketCap.
Another source of authority considered by the Court was the test articulated by the United States Supreme Court in SEC. v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946). The Securities Act of 1933 defines a “security” to mean “an investment contract.” Under the Howey test, an investment contract is a “contract, transaction or scheme whereby a person invests his money in a common enterprise and is led to expect profits solely from the efforts of the promoter or a third party.” The Howey Court explained that this test “embodies a flexible rather than a static principle, one that is capable of adaption to meet the countless and variable schemes devised by those who seek the use of the money of others on the promise of profits.” The Delaware Superior Court observed that other courts have applied the Supreme Court’s standard in Howey to determine whether to treat cryptocurrencies as securities. Citing recent federal authority in New York, the Court determined that this will be a “highly fact-specific inquiry” requiring a court to “examine the series of understandings, transactions, and undertakings at the time they were made.” The Court explained that, generally, courts applying Howey have found cryptocurrency to be a security.
The Court then proceeded to explain each of the three prongs of the Howey test and apply them to the instant case. The first prong is “whether an investment of money was part of the relevant transaction.” The Court explained that an investment of money “need not be made in cash.” Instead, the investment prong “refers more generally to an arrangement whereby an investor commits assets to an enterprise or venture in such a manner as to subject himself to financial losses.” The Court observed that several federal district courts have recently found the first prong “rather easily met” in the case of cryptocurrencies. Turning to the instant case, the Court found the first prong satisfied because the plaintiffs “committed both an exclusive license to their ONYX software and related professional services to EverID’s then-developing, blockchain-based cryptocurrency platform.” The plaintiffs, in turn, “elected to be paid in eventual token distributions rather than by traditional means ‒ knowing full well that cryptocurrency value is ever-fluctuating.” Hence, the plaintiffs “bore the risk of those fluctuations by agreeing to accept the cryptocurrency as payment instead of dollars and subjected themselves to any attendant financial losses.”
The second prong is whether “a common enterprise exists where the fortunes of the investor are interwoven with and dependent upon the efforts and success of those seeking the investment of third parties.” In connection with this prong, courts consider both “horizontal commonality” (shared risks and rewards between the investors) and “vertical commonality” (shared risks and rewards between the investors and the promoter). In this case, the Court appeared to find both sorts of commonality. The Court found vertical commonality because “EverID relied on the Plaintiffs’ software license and professional services (i.e., Plaintiffs’ investments) to successfully develop and launch its blockchain platform,” while, in turn, “the Plaintiffs’ ability to recover any remuneration for their investment was interwoven with and wholly dependent upon the successful launch of EverID’s blockchain.” The Court also found horizontal commonality because the enterprise represented “pool[ing] [of] invested proceeds to increase the range of goods and services from which income and profits could be earned,” where the value of each subsequent token distribution is “dictated by the success of the blockchain enterprise as a whole.”
The third prong is whether the putative investor entered into the transaction with the expectation to make a profit from the efforts of others. This criterion is satisfied where an investor’s fortunes “are directly tied to the failure or success of the products the investee purports to develop, and no individual investor can exert control over the success or failure of his or her investment.” In other words, an investment entails some relinquishing of control by the investor. In this case, the Court found that the plaintiffs’ expected returns “were directly tied to the failure or success of EverID’s blockchain platform.” The Court found that the plaintiffs’ “dependence on EverID to develop, launch, and support the blockchain” was sufficient to hold that the plaintiffs’ expectation of profits relied on the “essential efforts” of EverID.
The Court further found that both the License Agreement and the Advisor Agreement included language that token distributions were subject to regulatory compliance under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. The Court found that the inclusion of this language indicated that the parties themselves “anticipated treating the ICO and forthcoming distributions like those of a security.”
Having determined that the ID Tokens in this case should be treated as a security, the Court turned to devising a remedy that would place the plaintiffs “in the same place as [they] would have been if the contract had been performed.” The Court acknowledged the challenge of fashioning a remedy to account for “(1) the volatile and unregulated nature of cryptocurrency; (2) the express terms of the Agreements requiring immediate distribution of 25% of the total token grant at the ICO (a concrete and discernible amount); and (3) the remaining periodic token distributions whose values are so unpredictable that a blanket damages calculation indeed could operate as a windfall.” The Court explained that it must proceed in a two-step process: First, it must find a reliable cryptocurrency valuation source “to ensure the proper input of values.” Second, it “must ascertain the proper method for calculating the damages such that it will place the Plaintiffs in the same position they would have been [in] had the Agreements been fully performed.”
With respect to the first step, the Court found CoinMarketCap to be “a reliable cryptocurrency valuation tool” based on the reliance on CoinMarketCap by other courts, the Digital Asset Act’s endorsement, and the frequent use of CoinMarketCap by news publications that report on virtual currency prices. The Court relied on historical pricing data published by CoinMarketCap to determine the proper U.S. dollar value of the ID Tokens.
With respect to the second step, the Court agreed with the plaintiffs that, but for the novelty of the security instrument, this lawsuit is analogous to any other “failure to deliver securities” case. The Court relied on well-established Delaware precedent that damages in a failure to deliver securities case “are determined by the highest market price of the security within a reasonable time of a plaintiff’s discovery of the breach.” The Court explained that “a reasonable time” should be a measure of how long it would have taken the plaintiff to replace the securities on the open market ‒ and that Delaware courts have accepted two to three months as a reasonable period. Against this backdrop, the Court calculated the damages by multiplying the number of total tokens awarded under each of the Agreements by ID Tokens’ highest intermediate value within three months of the discovery of EverID’s breach. The result was a judgment for Diamond Fortress in excess of $20 million and a judgment for Mr. Hatcher in excess of $5 million.
- Cryptocurrency characterization and valuation is still a new and emerging field in Delaware and nationally.
- Looking at both the intentions of the parties and precedent from other jurisdictions on the treatment of cryptocurrencies, the Delaware Superior Court held that cryptocurrency tokens may be treated as securities.
- Where cryptocurrency tokens are treated like securities, the damages for breach of a contract to be paid in such tokens will be calculated under well-established precedent for “failure to deliver securities” cases.
- The Court found CoinMarketCap to be “a reliable cryptocurrency valuation tool” that can be used as an input for the value of cryptocurrencies when calculating damages under the “failure to deliver securities” framework.

Unusual Benedictine map of Italy, showing the various states of the church, with an elaborate cartouche.
Part of a series of Benedictine maps issued by Homann Heirs which are quite scarce on the market.
Homann Heirs was a German publishing firm that enjoyed a major place in the European map market throughout the eighteenth century. Founded in 1702 by Johann Baptist Homann, the business passed to his son, Christoph, upon Johann’s death in 1724. Christoph died in 1730, aged only 27, and the firm was inherited by subsequent Homann heirs. This altered the name of the company, which was known as Homann Erben, or Homann heirs. The firm continued in business until 1848.

We are living in the techno-times. Almost everyone has a cell phone or a Facebook page. But do you think you could spend a week without your phone?
What about your teenagers? Do they spend more time with you or texting their friends?
Fox 13, set up a little experiment to see if three area teens could go without their prized possession for five days.
What we got from their parents was shock and a few changes.
"Torture," Riley Williamson, 13, said.
"I'm going to die," Hannah Smith, 17, said. "I do not know how I'm going to make it," Williamson said.
"It's like I'm disconnected from the whole world. It's like nobody really knows who I am anymore," said 16 year old Brian Brasswell.
You won't believe what caused these teens to react this way.
"It's a main topic right now. Everybody has twitter, everybody has phones, everybody has Facebook. It's just one of those things that people don't think they can go without now," Smith said.
Technology. It's with them all the time.
"It's constantly pulling it out everywhere. My daughter is never without her phone," Hannah's mother, Diane Smith, said.
"My son is obsessed. No doubt. He is always texting on the phone. Always got earphones in," Brian's dad, Tony Brasswell, said.
Between the three teens we worked with, they send nearly 10,000 text messages each month. That's nothing, compared to their Facebook, instagram and twitter usage.
The technology in their lives has created a new realm for parents to police.
"I know there have been multitudes that we've had to say, you know, that's not appropriate," Diane Smith said.
"Our parents didn't have to deal with that. Not in that respect. My parents were like 'Hey, no girls in the backroom,' and that was it. That was it," Tony Brasswell said.
These parents and the crew at Fox 13 wanted to know what would happen if we removed technology from the unsuspecting teens' lives for five days.
No phones. No social media.
We didn't take away all technology. We sent them home with camcorders. What we got in return were some pretty hilarious quotes.
"I don't know what I'm going to do. I might have to use the landline," Williamson said.
"Yesterday I was really angry, but today I just give up. I'm really annoyed," Smith said.
"Yeah, its been a pretty stressful day," Brasswell said.
"Well, it's Wednesday. It's been three days without my phone and I'm counting down to when I can have it again. Because today, I made cookies. I don't cook," Smith said.
These teens and their parents agree, they are addicted to their phones. Sounds bad, but parenting expert and author Brian Housman said it's not the technology that's bad, just what you do with it. "Technology is such a huge part of their life that it's going to be natural for them, when these things are removed hat there are to be some natural agitation or confusion or I don't know what to do with my time."
Five days after the experiment began, these kids got their precious iPhones back.
Smith had 166 unread text messages when she powered up her phone.
The challenge brought a little positivity to the entire families. Tina Brasswell said her son Brian baked for her, while Diane Smith said she was able to spend much appreciated quality time with her phone-less daughter. "We went for a walk together. That was pretty fun."
It even sparked a little household change. "We're going to probably have some conversations, my husband and I, just in terms of maybe some phone-free times of the day," Diane Smith said.
"It was worth it for me to see how much of withdrawal he had and for me to share it with my friends and for them to say I don't think I can. I started during the week, putting my phone away a little more," said Brian's mother, Tina.
In the end, they all survived the challenge. But even so-- these teens all agreed they will never try this again.

Sapphire Corp Q1 net profit falls 16.6% on interest costs and lower revenue
MAINBOARD-LISTED Chinese infrastructure player Sapphire Corp's bottom line took a big hit in the first quarter as higher rental income and government grants could not make up for lower revenue and swelling finance costs.
Net profit came in 16.6 per cent lower year on year in the three months to March 31, at 3.39 million yuan (S$683,000), according to results released on Monday.
Meanwhile, revenue slipped by 2.2 per cent to 297 million yuan, which the group attributed to lower sales of railway sleepers, even as the higher rent and grants bumped other income up from 1.32 million yuan to 2.03 million yuan.
Sapphire Corp’s key operating subsidiary is China-based Ranken Infrastructure, which carries out large-scale urban infrastructure projects in China, Bangladesh, India and Saudi Arabia.
Still, the group also saw other expenses jump by 10.7 per cent to 2.84 million yuan in the quarter on higher depreciation, while finance costs surged from 3.77 million yuan to 5.75 million yuan on the back of interest expenses at banks and financial institutions.
Sapphire Corp said that it plans to take a two-pronged growth strategy that combines engineering, procurement and construction and design, construction and operations with rail projects, as well as breaking into environmental conservation and water projects.
“In addition to our strengths in urban railway infrastructure construction, the group has built up a growing track record by successfully completing many iconic city water environmental projects in China,” Sapphire Corp said in its outlook statement.
Earnings per share came in at 1.04 fen, down from 1.25 fen previously, while net asset value was 156.04 fen a share, against 155.15 fen as at Dec 31, 2018.
No dividend was recommended, unchanged from the previous year.

Alongside Hollywood stalwarts Pinewood, Shepperton and now Leavesden, which all have dramatic expansions underway, facilities new and old across the U.K. have been bursting at the seams. In and around London, icons such as Ealing and Elstree have been joined by the?likes of 3 Mills (Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs) (6) and the recently resurrected Twickenham (Black Mirror), while plans are afoot for a completely fresh site — Dagenham East (7) — that could accommodate 125,000 square feet of stages.
A few hours’ drive away, high-end British drama has made a home at Bristol’s Bottle Yard (Sherlock), and farther on, a growing hub for TV has formed in south Wales, where numerous facilities have sprung up, including another studio from Pinewood (Journey’s End), plus Bay Studios (Amazon’s The Collection) and the latest addition, Wolf Studios (BBC/New Line’s His Dark Materials). While Scotland has Outlander (based in Wardpark Studios), Northern Ireland’s Titanic Studios has long served as Game of Thrones’ HQ.
Meanwhile, the new $28 million, purpose-built Belfast Harbour Studios has welcomed Syfy’s Superman prequel, Krypton. “All the studios are full,” says one lm exec. “They’re all jam-packed, all the time.”
