Melting from stone
I had forgotten how beautiful life is and was amazed to remember.
The road traced the mountain's curves as I cruised through the Blue Ridge mountains. The wind streamed through my open windows as I led my car through North Carolina. The air slithered across my skin, bringing goose bumps from its crisp autumn caress. The sun trickled in through leaves barely touched by the season's change and curled in my lap like a cat, its warmth seeping into my jeans.
Even though my ears and fingertips stung from the air's chilly kiss, I radiated heat as my heart sang and my soul cried in joy.
Golden halos marked most trees as they hugged the road, letting a few leaves flutter in front of me like butterflies. A few bore crimson flames on their outer limbs as the trees slowly gave themselves over to fall. As the car drove through the tunnels of trees, a gap would suddenly appear and my throat would choke in awe.
The clear pale sky was a quiet backdrop to the majesty of the rippling mountains. Like forested waves, the mountains spread throughout the horizon. Those in the background became hazy sapphire cutouts. I balked every time and stole as many glances as I could safely manage while twisting my wheel around sharp turns.
My chest felt crushed by the wonder of it all as a feeling like humming filled me. This wasn't the awe I feel as I stare into the black abyss of the night dotted by stars and realize how small and finite I am. Instead, driving through the mountains with fresh air ruffling my hair, I felt connected and real and part of something.
Waking at 8:01 a.m. on weekdays, worrying over the tasks on my to-do lists, and cursing suburban traffic had turned me into stone without my noticing. I had forgotten the simple beauty of life found among the trees and around the fireplace with old friends.
Last weekend I stayed in a little cabin an hour out of cell service range. In the few days, my soul melted from stone. It wasn't just the laughter that floated above the smell of dinner sizzling or the easy conversations that deftly molded from personal narratives, politics, and philosophy. It wasn't just the crunch of leaves underfoot in the otherwise silent woods or the grace of a dead leaf dancing across a river. It wasn't just the way my cheeks blushed from the glass of wine in my hand or the tingle in my toes as the fireplace warmed the cabin. It was all of it and more; it was my ability to appreciate the gifts around me including old friends and natural beauty.
I have never enjoyed a drive like I did through the mountains. I wish I could say that I am happier now, changed from the power of the peace I found in my experience. Yet the reality is that I still woke up at 8:01 a.m. and dreaded going to work. My mind still races with what I need to do. The difference though, is I still feel that little humming in my chest and smile despite the walls of my cubicle as I remember the mountains.
Perhaps I will not turn to stone so easily again. Perhaps I will remember how beautiful life is.

Dairy Crest contract losses to hit profits
recent gains will not be enough to stop profits slipping, and rival
Wiseman warns rising costs will be hard to recover.
Dairy Crest announced in a trading update that "profits for the six months ending 30 September 2005 will be significantly lower than in the first half of last year".
The firm has suffered after losing a milk supply contract with Tesco for 170m litres in August last year. The group had earlier lost a 40m-litre contract with Asda and, despite picking up contracts with Sainsbury's and Morrison's this year totalling 100m litres, it has struggled to recover.
The gloomy news from Dairy Crest accompanied an earlier statement from rival firm Robert Wiseman Dairies that expressed concern over rising derv, plastic and energy costs, mainly linked to soaring oil prices.
"Competition in all sectors of the market is intense and makes recovery of these increased costs uncertain," Wiseman said, adding that these costs had also offset the higher milk selling prices the group had negotiated in March this year.
Wiseman predicted its pre-tax profits would drop £0.5m this year.
The news from both companies highlights the significant pressure Britain's top dairy processors face to secure profit margins.
Arla UK, subsidiary of Arla Foods and the other of Britain's top three dairy processors, said in August that rising costs in raw materials and energy, together with aggressive retailer price cuts, would damage profits in 2005.
The firm faces trouble despite doing the best in the past year's milk contract re-shuffle, gaining 120m litres overall and becoming sole milk supplier to Asda.
A report this month by Britain's Milk Development Council revealed that retailer profits for liquid milk have risen by a quarter in 10 years, growing more rapidly since 2003. Processor margins, in comparison, have fallen.
The MDC said dairy products were the second biggest sellers for UK supermarkets, generating sales worth £7.8bn. This shows that dairy has become a big profit earner for retailers.
The pressure has made industry consolidation a hot topic. Dairy Crest snapped up Midlands Co-op Dairies and Starcross Foods in May this year, something expected to produce savings after initial 'swallowing costs'.
There is also some good news for products. The MDC highlights in particular that UK sales for higher value branded milk grew 23 per cent between 2003 and 2004, while branded cheese went up 11 per cent.
Britain's top three processors are benefitting from tapping into this trend, though the MDC warned that the UK's added value sector was still behind that of other European dairy industries.

If you’re a beginner guitar player, you can always hear the success stories of advanced musicians who have gone ahead of you. Even if you’re not a beginner, you must be prepared to face the challenges that may come up. The following insights from some of the most popular guitarists will help you navigate more easily.
One of the most common reasons individuals feel reluctant to play the guitar is fear. However, fear is an emotional reaction that everyone experiences, and you must know how to deal with it. A musician’s job is to perform in front of people, whether it’s an audience of one or a large crowd.
The greatest guitarist Jimi Hendrix knew very well how to deal with the fear of performing. He was jolly just before his first stage performance though most people would be jittery.
As a performing artist, you’ll be praised often. The way you respond to praise will affect how well you perform in the future. So handling praise is another secret you should master.
As praise can help you focus on people’s opinions, it can also make you nervous. In the worst-case scenario, it can also prevent your musical growth. When asked about this in an interview, Eddie Van Halen admitted that positive reviews would often make him more anxious and nervous. To feel more relaxed, he stopped reading these reviews.
Most guitarists have difficulty finding the balance between music and their lives. If you succeed in your musical career, you must learn the secret of balance. One of the greatest guitarists, Ryan Brahms struggled to find this balance. According to him, relationships can be challenging for many musicians. He still managed to find the balance without quitting performing live and practice sessions.
Another secret to becoming a successful guitarist is using a high-performance guitar. At Rock Guitars, our guitars ensure superior tonal quality and fine artwork to attract your audience. To buy high quality guitars online, browse our collection today. All our instruments are carefully handmade by the artist EddieA.


'Hell on Wheels': AMC gets its steam up for new original series
On Nov. 6, AMC's latest original scripted series, "Hell on Wheels," gets rolling. The Western genre drama chronicles the rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War, and follows the lives of the men and women affected by the railroad industry as tracks were built across the American West.
The show stars Anson Mount as a former soldier consumed by the desire to avenge his wife's death, Common as an emancipated slave and Colm Meaney as a greedy railroad baron -- but another central figure had to be created from raw wood, steel and Styrofoam especially for the project: the train that signifies the progress of American industry, promises hardship for the men laboring to build tracks across the frontier and spells doom for Native Americans.
In the exclusive video above, executive producer David Von Ancken and production designer John Blackie explain how they constructed the functioning period steam locomotive that plays a central role in the show.

"A great practitioner’s guide to improving student achievement through accountability. Dr. Reeves has taken a very challenging topic and made it "user friendly," focusing on the true mission of education, which is improving student learning. Accountability is much more than test scores, as Dr. Reeves points out in this outstanding book."
"Dr. Reeves makes sense of the hodgepodge of issues that currently surrounds educational accountability. The concepts are turned into practical applications that not only address the concerns of school personnel and community members, but also focus on improving student achievement."
"Doug Reeves knows education—not from an ivory tower perspective, but from that of a committed practitioner. His work provides a refreshingly constructive take on the issue of accountability: Data should be used to build learning, instruction, and educational policy, not to punish students or teachers."
"There is not a concept in education that is used more and understood less than ‘accountability.’ In Holistic Accountability, Doug Reeves brings clarity and understanding to the concept. He illustrates how complex and multidimensional the concept becomes when it is invoked in a thoughtful and just manner. This book should be read and its recommendations followed by anyone seriously attempting to make sense of this buzzword."
"We have seen Reeves’s work positively impact student achievement in small systems, large districts, and statewide implementations. His practical approach to assessment and accountability provides a clear picture of the interaction between leadership, assessment, teaching, and the learning process. The holistic accountability cycle serves as a blueprint for making accountability a constructive force for improving teaching and learning."

Have you ever seen Superman stopping at a red light while chasing super-villains in the air in any superhero flick? Well, that's a creative method UP Police
has adopted to make people aware of traffic rules and regulations during their ongoing Traffic Awareness Month, which began on November 1.
In an attempt to strike an emotional chord with people, UP Police's twitter
handle is tweeting pictures showcasing several cartoon characters and superheroes including Superman, Chacha Chaudhary and even Harry Potter with messages on road safety. Rahul Srivastav
, Additional Superintendent of Police and PRO to the DGP UP, says, "We are using the hashtag #trafficmonth #uppolice in every post about traffic awareness across all UP Twitter handles. We are trying to strike an emotional chord with the people as they will relate to such posts. For example, the 'if you want to stay married, divorce speed' message is aimed at making people sensitive about how precious their life is to their loved ones. Similarly, the 'hug your kids at home, but belt them in the car' post is targeted towards parents."
According to Srivastav, this tweet saying 'hug your kids at home, but belt them in the car' post is targeted towards parents
Ravi Sharma, a resident of Sector 50, adds, "I follow the UP Police and Noida Police
Twitter handles and it's nice that they do things hatke to draw people’s attention towards road safety rules. It is as simple as wearing a seat belt or helmet."
The UP Police also used characters like Chacha Chaudhary to help spread awareness about traffic rules
One of the tweets posted from the UP Police Twitter
handle A contest for people inviting slogans and posters on road safety
The UP Police is also planning a social media traffic awareness campaign-cum-competition in which they are asking people to tweet creative ideas on traffic awareness with the hashtags #trafficmonth and #uppolice, and the best ones will be rewarded. "Those tweets can be paintings, slogans and posters about traffic awareness. A committee comprising people from various state universities and fine arts departments, will decide on the best tweets. The best 10 tweets/posters/ slogans senders will be invited to the DGP office for a cup of tea and will be handed over appreciation letters," Srivastav tells us.
Srivastav adds, "We have on-field plans too for the traffic awareness month. Our officers are going to schools, colleges and other places to educate kids and make people aware about traffic rules. We are also organizing painting competitions and workshops in 75 districts. Also, now that we have a significant presence on social media, we are engaging with as many people as we can with our activities."

Slipped Disc Forces Victoria Beckham to Trade Heels With Flat Shoes
Health apparently is still a priority for a fashionista like Victoria Adams. Although towering heels has long been her signature, the wife of David Beckham has chosen to listen to her doctors' advice for her to ditch high heels as she recovers from a slipped disc in her lower back.
A little over a month after giving birth to fourth child Harper Seven in July, the former member of Spice Girls was photographed stepping out with a pair of flat shoes. Out for a business meeting in Los Angeles, she wore a plain green dress that she paired with a black cardigan and hid her eyes behind big sunglasses.
The Daily Mail reported earlier that Victoria suffered from the slipped disc while pregnant with her first daughter. Accordingly, the singer-turned-fashion designer is in such pain that she struggled to even lift Harper and needed husband David to help her hold the baby while she is breastfeeding.
A spokesman confirmed that Victoria is recovering from a back problem. "Victoria has a back condition. She is resting and receiving treatment," so the rep said. Victoria herself took to Twitter on Friday, August 19 to say, "Thank u for your kind messages. I'm feeling much better and enjoying every precious minute with baby Harper, I'm so in love."
She has been resting at a home on Malibu beach, California, which used to belong to film director Steven Spielberg. Joining her there were husband David and their three sons, 12-year-old Brooklyn, 8-year-old Romeo and 6-year-old Cruz. She is expected to fly to New York next month to attend New York Fashion Week, where she will showcase her Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

as the wee bird told stories from the forest
stories of the fawn that pranced through
and where the mushrooms grew
the bird told about the squirrel that stole the swallows eggs
about the snail eggs that were growing along the waters edge
It sang from dawn to dusk
about the life its lived and things its seen
I have been drawing birds on hands for years
I wonder if doing so is what inspired this
interaction to actually happen?!
It is a sweet sharing, makes my heart sing.
I take it quite seriously, like caring for a pet.
I do not walk out the door without a pouch of seed on me.
It is not a good feeling when the little feathered friends land on a branch next to me
making their teeny sound which mean:
Then patiently waits for me to pull seed out of the pouch and it then descends to my finger tips
wishing you magic in your days and in your dreams

A growing demand for suburban office space is behind the sizable expansions of office parks in St. Tammany Parish.
“Developers and Realtors have been bullish for the past couple years when it comes to the North Shore,” said Quentin Dastugue, CEO of the commercial real estate management, leasing brokerage and consulting company Property One. “The parish is on the cusp of some serious growth, and developers are trying to get ahead of the curve so they are ready for what is to come.”
Dastugue said corporations are starting to put more emphasis on their work environment, seeking a setting that contrasts with typical office high-rise. They are looking for locations with room for ancillary buildings, reflecting more of a campus-type atmosphere. Office park communities on the North Shore provide that flexibility.
“It offers the space to build a health club and other amenities for employees,” Dastugue said. “You are also seeing parks include hotels, restaurants and other retail establishments.”
The most significant activity is happening at Northpark in Covington, where contractors with Barriere Construction are about halfway through work to lay new roads and infrastructure for the first phase of a more than 75-acre expansion.
Barry Spizer, managing partner for SRSA Commercial Real estate, part of the group developing the site, said the expansion stems from a push to continue to grow companies already in the parish while also attracting newcomers.
“We have seen companies make the jump from the South Shore to the North Shore, but much of the recent growth includes companies from out of state who are attracted to the quality of life the parish offers,” Spizer said. “We are also seeing firms like Hornbeck, Chevron and Pool Corp., who have been here for some time preparing to grow.”
Although no firm plans have been announced, Spizer said 10 of the first 35 acres being developed as part of Northpark’s expansion have been sold to Chevron, which relocated to North Park from New Orleans in 2008 and is considering adjacent growth. The remaining acreage could start to see new development by the start of 2014, he said.
“There are five lots that have been pinpointed for new office buildings, and they will be built around a large swath of green space that includes 200-year-old oak trees and a large lagoon,” Spizer said.
A few miles west of Northpark, Riverchase will eventually include more than 480,000 square feet of office development near the existing retail development at Interstate 12 and Highway 21.
Townsend Underhill, senior vice president of development for Stirling Properties, said the expansion will include a 50-acre office park with three six-story buildings that wrap around a large garage. An additional 35-acre development to the south is also part of the plan.
“We have been in competition trying to hook a lead tenant for the property,” Underhill said. “There is incredible interest in what we have to offer.”
Underhill said companies in the region and out of state are attracted to the North Shore for a combination of reasons. Quality of life and protection from Gulf storms are key factors, but companies are also looking for places with proximity to complementary businesses.
“The growth of oil and gas firms in the area has produced growth from engineering firms and other groups that often work with them on major projects,” he said. “Developments on the North Shore can allow that related growth to take place.”
The business park atmosphere also gives firms the option of free surface parking, expanded green space and nearby retail establishments.
“The suburban feel is something that companies are always looking for,” Underhill said. “Companies will have to contend with slightly higher lease rates than what you see on the South Shore, but there is more to offer.”
To maintain its momentum, Underhill said St. Tammany Parish must work to keep up with the needs of the population when it comes to transportation infrastructure. Much of the recent growth is being steered toward I-12 and Highway 21 because the corridor offers greater infrastructure capacity and potential for upgrades than areas along U.S. Highway 190, where space is at a premium.
“Areas along the interstate can accommodate more square footage,” he said. •

The cold weather makes me crave warm meals like soups, stews and chili's. This is a recipe that was given to me by my mom, but it's one of those easy soup's that you can't ever mess it up. I'm always adding new things and trying new flavors. Tonight, I just made a very simple version. Warmed us up on this freezing 28degree weather we are having down here.
3 Chicken Breast
1 Can of Diced Tomato's
Salt and Pepper
1 Frozen bag of green peas and carrots
4 Chicken Bouillon cubes
1 Cup of instant white rice
Parmesan to sprinkle
Put frozen Chicken in medium/large pot and cover with water a little more than half of the soup pot, salt water and add 2 bouillon cubes, boil until chicken is cooked thoroughly, roughly 15-20min. Just keep an eye on it. Using tongs pull out chicken onto cutting board, let water come to a boil and drop in frozen peas and carrots, add last 2 bouillon cubes, and boil for 4min. or as directed on bag, add diced tomato's, add 1 cup of rice, then turn off stove. The rice will soak up some of the water, so you made need to add more after you cook the chicken. While veggies are cooking, slice chicken in bite size pieces or shred, whichever you prefer and add back to pot after the rice is added.
I pour into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with crusty bread and sweet tea! Enjoy!!

Security is always necessary. This is true now as it was true throughout the history of mankind. Until men become angels, there will always be a need for safety. Personal and property security is now especially important (even critical) as a result of the culture’s unraveling. Whenever a society falls into chaos security becomes essential.
Chaos and Uncertainty
With the rise of the Tyrant and the Tyrannical Deep State, coupled with the uncertainty about the future, shortages of food, inflation, higher gas prices, and the loss of employment, people can become unhinged. Fear often causes people to do things that they would not ordinarily do in times of peace and prosperity. This chaotic atmosphere begs for wisdom, creativity, resolve and tenacity when it comes to security.
Watchfulness is the key to maintaining personal security. One must not be oblivious to his or her surroundings.

Celia's presence is invigorating; she's bright and bursting with energy and ideas. She enjoys going to demolitions rather than going shopping, and also visiting rare fairs where Kike and her get immersed in fresh and new concepts. This restless spirit makes the gallery alive everyday but also at night, from Thursday to Saturday, when you can enjoy some drinks in such an environment surrounded by sellable art – which you can buy at the same moment. At night you can also be shocked by live performances: from a lyric quartet to a solo guitar, or even by an extremely amusing conversation with Pablo, the barman who dresses in a smart dark kilt, or with Angel, who is also part of the team they consider as family – because I got the impression that all the staff and the visitors feel like home there.
Kike has always been linked to art, as his parents are ceramists, so breathing this kind of love for handcrafted pieces might have something to do with the passion he feels for designing. Besides, he takes care of the production with a blend of technical precision and functionality from a factory located in Fuenlabrada, where the custom furniture is made. The prototypes are displayed in the gallery, so clients may order variations in size or details, depending on the structures. Kike's background also includes experience in cinema atrezzo, as he has worked for Ridley Scott (films keep on being very inspirational to them), as well as in different interior projects and events for other brands and hotels, like the lobby of the Siete Islas they are remodeling at the moment.
“Art is sometimes intimidating”, I said quietly and respectfully to someone who deeply knows and understands artworks. I thought Celia would realize about my narrowness by saying such an improvised statement (and she would have been right) but she was very kind and expressive: “why do you say that?”, she replied. “Art ignites imagination and this fact is not as appreciated as it should be. Art is a mixture of extreme imagination and freedom, leading you to express what's in your mind. It's a way of speaking. You don't need to seek any story behind, nor understand it. It's more about a scopic drive and obtaining your own conclusions, there's no literature in art. Art is approachable”, she remarked.
When it comes to interior design, Kikekeller's pieces bring spaces to life by creating a vivid home and involving you in the process, so your participation does matter a lot: “you have to live and to use the pieces, mixing unexpected elements which are integrated with an aesthetic but also functional intention. This integration works by opening your imagination and finding solutions according to your necessities”, she said.
This was very clear to me when I went to the toilet, which I thought it was another decorative element. A retrofuturistic elevator in the middle of the room serves as a restroom but also lifts you to a parallel world by opening the sliding doors built in a lightness and elegant deployè. Every single detail, even following the normative, is integrated in the scene of art. “This involves making an intervention to find solutions”, said Celia.
Metal and steel in all formats and derivations, rusted or painted, are the core pieces they create, but they also attend to experimental materials like cement or unusual treatments like scaffolding, sometimes softening this industrial design by including antique furniture details. They explained us how the creation process works, “it's all about finding a balance. A true artist imagines something, projects it and develops it in a de-contextualized way, and unprecious materials help us a lot for that purpose, as they are also a source of inspiration, full of unlimited possibilities”.
When “the Kellers” take care of a new project, there is a previous phase of research in terms of understanding what the space needs, turning every difficulty into the main theme, instead of hiding it. This approach is revealed in different compositions, as the project they did for Isaac Salido's hair saloon, taking advantage of a beam in the middle of the room so the space was reinforced – or even in their own gallery, using gas cylinders as back cushions, making use of the existing resources, trying to respect those original elements that resurface in a different context. “We were fed up with plastic painting (gotelé) for example, so we've maintained the antique wallpaper we found when we came to Corredera Baja de San Pablo, in 2008”. It was an old sewing atelier, and we've kept the floor and the part of the wall that seemed to be falling apart, but that's part of the essence of this place.”
Kikekeller's support to new artists is also a proof of how much they care about talent, promoting them and offering visibility through this prestigious gallery. This is something unique, says Celia, “when we showcase these talented works, you can buy little pieces of life, and also meet the artist. We are open to creativity, so we select the ones who transmit something, from recent graduates in training phases to recognized artists who exhibit in prestigious fairs. Angel Tausía, Julio Torrecilla, Nino Maza or Marciano Buendía are some of them. Diego Lunas' last exhibition included a photo-installation 1x9 m and a huge backlighted canvas with Ahab Captain, the main character of Moby Dick, for the opening day “you need guts to do something like that!”.
Kikekeller's work arises desire through spontaneous implication in a creative space that suggests a different dialogue between art, music and gastronomy that go hand in hand in a very special approach, taking an object out of context and giving it another meaning, merging it with the singularity and the single-handed challenged convention. We can find pieces which convey sensations and unique style, so it's no surprise when someone suddenly drops into the gallery and gushes over them.

Final Fantasy Christmas EP Released by Scarlet Moon Records
Final Fantasy has always had memorable soundtracks in all of their games. Now Scarlet Moon Records has taken a few of these tracks and remixed them for the holidays.
Scarlet Moon Records has put together a five track EP featuring various Final Fantasy songs, a track from Saturday Morning RPG, and a bonus track from Dragon Fantasy Book II composer Dale North. Other composers on the EP include Scarlet Moon Production’s Jayson Napolitano, Goomin Nam of the DJMAX series, and Vince DiCola, who worked on the 1986’s Transformers: The Movie. The Final Fantasy games that are featured on the album are Final Fantasy IV, VIII, and XI.
The music of Final Fantasy has been primarily composed by musician Nobuo Uematsu. He composed the series’ music until he left Square Enix in 2004. Other composers for the series include Masashi Hamauzu, Hitoshi Sakimoto, and Junya Nakano. Uematsu was given little direction when creating the music of Final Fantasy, though the production staff would request pieces that would fit certain situations. Uematsu would start with a game’s theme, and compose the rest of the soundtrack to fit that theme. When creating character themes, Uematsu would read the game’s scenario to determine the character’s personality.
While the themes of the soundtracks for various Final Fantasy titles do change, the series does have recognizable pieces that appear in most of the titles. Most games feature the piece named “Prelude,” which has become well known amongst fans. One of the most popular pieces in the series is the Victory Fanfare, which has become known amongst gamers throughout the years, even with gamers who know little about the series. Other pieces that have become known are the Chocobo themes, and “Prologue,” which is often played during a game’s ending credits.
Final Fantasy fans can pick up the album from Loudr for $5 right here.

The cryptocurrency market has been in a sad state for several months. Meme tokens like Shiba Inu (SHIB) have suffered their worst hit since the cryptocurrency crash.
Nevertheless, the Ethereum (ETH) whale has been involved in this cryptocurrency plunge, and Shiba Inu (SHIB) has proven to be a top pick for the giant ETH whale.
Recommended Books | ‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli traded crypto behind the bar – here are some reactions.
ETH Whale on SHIB Buy
With Dogecoin or dog-themed memecoins gaining popularity in 2021, Shiba Inu hasn’t been able to expand or gain traction this year.
Comparing to BTC, SHIB, dubbed the most searched cryptocurrency for 2021, has seen a dismal downtrend. Over the past two months, the coin price has fallen 52% of its value. ETH whales are gathering in the market to trade despite the turbulent situation.
Take a look at the top 100 whales here. https://t.co/tgYTpOm5ws
— WhaleStats – Baby Whale ($BBW) (@WhaleStats) May 24, 2022
According to WhaleStats, SHIB ranks higher than FTX tokens (FTT) with 467,912,829,017 in average holdings in the top 10 holdings compared to 301,753 for current FTX.
This is a surprising change, given that ETH whales have held FTX tokens for the longest time.
WhaleStats revealed that the top 100 ETH wallets currently hold around $543 million in SHIB. However, SHIB holdings have risen sharply to $259 million.
Surprisingly, SHIB has plummeted 6% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.000012. SHIB’s recent price drop supports ETH whales’ massive show-off. SHIB has a market cap of $6.4 billion.

On March 8th, WhaleStats announced that $1.4 billion in SHIB holdings at the time had overtaken $1.36 billion in FTT holdings. Top ETH whales hold $1.4 billion worth of SHIB.
Ethereum whales switched bullish with Shiba Inu metaverse hype. The price of the coin has always been on a downward trend since its all-time high in October.

I have to state a fact that will be very offensive to many in the tripartite alliance, especially those who advocate for economic development propelled by instruments of the late Argentine economist Raúl Prebisch’s famous import-substitution strategies that include state-owned entities.
A fact based on evidence is that in the South African context, the state-owned enterprise (SOE) model is not working, has not worked, and is a complete failure.
The country is rapidly approaching a turning point regarding its SOEs, if it hasn’t already.
The top two reasons are obvious:
- Firstly, the funding model. SOEs will bankrupt the country. Relying on money provided by National Treasury for their operations is no longer an option.
- Secondly, from inception, they have been mired in politics. This has made it impossible for them to function adequately or be governed properly.
The political aspect has defined how resources are allocated, and on what projects they are used. Power struggles within the ruling party have created an environment where ‘special interest groups’ (cliques) use their political influence to maintain the concept of the centrality of the state in establishing national companies as a way of development, creating jobs and reducing dependency on other countries. But the funding model for SOEs is unsustainable and their repeated failures have plunged most of them into a debt crisis.
Now, those faithful to Prebisch’s vision of domestically nurtured industrialisation may resent the analysis that, aside from crony capitalism, SOEs in developing regions such as Africa have additionally entrenched a political elite that manipulates funding to serve their needs.
Furthermore, money that is meant for infrastructure and services that are for the public good has over time been siphoned, looted or squandered (see my fellow columnist Barbara Curson’s must-read article: Prasa has shown itself to be the ultimate gravy train).
Many of the shortcomings of SOEs can be seen in the political interference that blocks potential efficiency – because failing maintains the status quo. And that guarantees permanent funding, which preserves the ability to use SOEs for self-enrichment while claiming to champion economic development programmes.
I believe it is time for South Africans to demand a national consultative conversation about the ailments of the SOEs.
Leaving the decision about their future to politicians and advisors (often including expensive international consulting firms) will be a mistake and a hindrance to the country’s progress.
As we see presently, these entities have shown that legislative mechanisms are not sufficient to ensure:
- Adherence to good governance
- Depoliticisation of the management of SOEs.
Moreover, in a country with a depressed and stagnant economy that is struggling to recover, the persistent crises in SOEs adds to the waning investment opportunities. For example, an entity that cannot provide the power needed to get the economic engine running discourages investment from industries that require an uninterrupted supply of power, such as mining.
It should be obvious that economic growth that is accompanied by job creation is essential for the country to improve its condition and the lives of its citizens. However, government spending on SOEs has not translated into public spending that has benefitted the whole of society.
There are, however, those who will disagree; the faithful believer who will say that the breakdowns and disasters in SOEs is subjective and must be understood in a socialist perspective instead of capitalistic one. They will argue that there has been a social transfer and that the money pumped into SOEs is part of necessary government expenditure on development.
I would counter that it is not. The public spending supporting these companies has created a bad habit of entitlement in bailing out bankrupt SOEs while adding to the dire fiscal position of national government. Consequentially, this eats up more national revenue – which is already unable to keep up with other demands such as national health, education, transport and water infrastructure.
Looking more closely at Eskom, Denel, SAA, the SABC, Prasa and other entities, the prognosis on the current projection of SOEs is not good when considered against an evolving capitalism. This has put South Africa in an untenable situation. The pace of change, globalisation, and the shifting of the world economy means the country must discard the mistaken belief that SOEs are essential for economic growth and societal development. In particular, we must abandon the idea that they are the sort of development programmes that only a government can provide.
In democratic South Africa, nothing else has demonstrated so well the ineffective public funding and spending that is meant to have positive social transfers yet has failed to overcome the damaging effect on SOEs’ financial crises and failures.
As a matter of common sense, and for the greater public good, they must be discontinued.

The John A. Wott Botanic Gardens Endowed Fellowship was awarded this spring to Sarah Shank, a first-year Master of Environmental Horticulture student at the University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.
A native of Pennsylvania, Sarah recently moved to Seattle for graduate school and is enjoying the opportunity to learn about the diverse flora of the Pacific Northwest. Although she pursued a fine arts degree, she worked as a gardener throughout her undergraduate career and eventually found her way back to horticulture post-graduation as a nursery horticulturist.
Stacy Kinsell is the Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator for the Rare Plant Care and Conservation Program (Rare Care), but it hasn’t been a straightforward path to get there. Kinsell’s undergraduate work was in social work and urban studies. After school, she packed up for an adventure in a new city far away from her native Georgia and moved to Seattle. She quickly fell in love with the city, but not the career and after a few years of working in her new field, Kinsell was feeling burnt out.Read more

NY attorney general subpoenas federal agency for Trump DC hotel records
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has subpoenaed the General Services Administration (GSA) for information that may explain how the government agency ended up selecting the Trump Organization to lease the post office where he built his Washington, D.C.,-based hotel.
According to The Washington Post, inside sources familiar with the situation spoke under the condition of anonymity as they shared details about the inquiry which seeks to determine whether or not former President Donald Trump "inflated his net worth to secure the lease."
James alleges that the Trump Organization's presentation to the GSA suggested “Trump’s real estate investments are funded from Donald J. Trump’s significant net worth, which is composed of a wide range of capitalized affiliates." Included in the presentation was a copy of "Trump’s Statement of Financial Condition."
Per The Post:
"The documents James sought included a scorecard GSA used to rank Trump’s bid against those of other developers who proposed leasing and redeveloping the federally owned Old Post Office Pavilion downtown. That information could fit into James’s broader effort to show a pattern of Trump giving false information to business partners, banks, and insurers to secure loans and other deals."
The latest development follows similar concerns raised by the House Oversight Committee. Back in October, Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) highlighted a report that suggests Trump may have provided the GSA with misleading information in an effort to seal the business deal.
In a letter addressed to GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan, Maloney and Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.) detailed allegations about Trump's deal and how he may have “concealed hundreds of millions of dollars in debts from GSA when bidding on the Old Post Office Building lease.” The lawmakers also requested that an investigation be opened.
“If he walks away from this laughing all the way to the bank with a $100 million profit, we will have debased the whole concept of enforcing conflict of interests laws and ethics,” Connelly said at the time.
In wake of the investigation headed by James' office, Trump filed a lawsuit attempting to block the probe. However, James is pushing back against the suit.
According to recent filings, James’s office requested that a federal judge toss Trump's suit. “The public interest is served by having [the AG’s office] continue its Investigation into allegations of fraud and misrepresentation in Mr. Trump’s financial statements provided to financial institutions and the government,” one of the filings read.

A dog meeting some neighbours for the first time in a local Tokyo park today has been involved in a conversation spoken in Japanese.
The dog was bombarded with Japanese phrases although it appeared as if it would clearly better understand English.
“Ii ko desune,” said one neighbour.
“Sanpo suki desuka?” asked another.
The dog was being referred to as ‘Daisuke’ but would more than likely respond better to ‘Rocky’.
Sadly, the dog will never know the pleasure of being told he is a “Good boy!”
