ETH transaction fees kept rising until many people couldn’t accept it, and ETH users reversed to BSC with an average transaction fee of less than $0.3 per transaction, occupying a place in the market with low transaction fees and fast transaction efficiency, and the data grew very rapidly, which also promoted the rapid development of Defi. Every time you trade in Coin Smart Chain, you need BNB as payment for transaction fees. According to Mytoken, BNB’s market value reached $100 billion on May 10, which was noticed globally, ranking behind Bitcoin and Ether, and briefly becoming the 3rd token in market value.
After the BSC fire, it also became a hotbed for hackers, with BSC constantly experiencing security incidents of funds being stolen or arbitrage. BSC had a total of 12 security incidents in May, with a total loss of over $270 million.
Let’s start with the first one, the Spartan protocol, a decentralized protocol based on the Cryptocurrency Smartchain for incentivizing liquidity and synthesizing assets, was arbitrage on May 2 due to a “flawed liquidity share calculation” in the protocol, resulting in losses of over $30 million by on-chain analytics and security startup Posted by PeckShield, an on-chain analytics and security startup. In particular, PeckShield amplifies the balance of assets in the pool before a specific hacker destroys the same number of tokens in the pool to claim a large amount of money.
The attackers used $61 million in BNB to breach the pool through an unknown exploit path, removing approximately $30 million from the pool,” according to the official Spartan Protocol Twitter account, which first reported the incident on May 2 at approximately 12:21 a.m. UTC. The company first reported the incident at around 12:21 a.m. CST on May 2.
Spartan Protocol’s attack makes it second in DeFi’s history only to EasyFi’s $59 million, Uranium Finance’s $57.2 million, Kucoin’s $45 million, Alpha Finance’s $37.5 million and Meerkat Finance’s $32 million.
We witnessed first-hand the manipulation of the price of the Venus protocol managed token XVS on BSC, an event that led to the liquidation of over $200 million in DeFi and over $100 million in bad debt on the protocol, with hundreds of users suffering losses and liquidation as a direct result of the lack of a team, following the apparent manipulation of the price of the XVS token on the Binance exchange The system allowed maximum borrowing, forcing the liquidation of more than 2 million XVS.
The case resolves that after the DAI price prediction event ($88M), Compound kept records of the previous liquidation volume. At the time, the Chainlink community strongly criticized Compound Open Price Feed, but in fact the same operation was performed even with Chainlink.
Case analysis from Igor Igamberdiev’s tweet: https://twitter.com/FrankResearcher
(From The block)
The price of the prophecy machine has almost doubled, which has allowed at least two Venus accounts to borrow a large amount of assets. It’s unclear exactly where Chainlink gets its XVS price data from, but given that there is essentially only one liquid market, it doesn’t matter.

This clever thief, after stealing the funds, left $80 million in bad BTC debt on Venus Venus that they will never be able to pay back. All of their collateral has been liquidated, so it makes no sense for no one to pay the debt.

They withdrew from Binance and used almost 1m XVS ($52m at current prices) as collateral at the peak. From the agreement, they were able to borrow 4.2k BTC ($165m), which they then sent to the BSC Token Exchange.
Venus, known as Cryptocurrency’s own son, the most important lending platform of Cryptocurrency’s smart chain, had such a terrible incident that it caused a very big disturbance to its platform’s later operation. Ordinary users were traumatized most severely, and those who were hurt kept spreading the seeds of their anger until they took root or until they were fortunately wiped out.
In the case analysis, thieves minted over $ 1B ($100M) worth of BUNNY tokens from Bunny Finance on BSC + 697K BUNNY tokens, resulting in $40M + stolen: 114K WBNB ($40M). As a result, BUNNY price dropped from $ 146 to $ 6.
(From pancakebunny Twitter)
The thieves did the following: 1) added a small amount of assets to the “BUNNY” USDT-WBNB Vault. 2) used emergency loans to borrow 2.3 million BNB ($704 million) from the 7 PancakeSwap pools and 2.9 million from ForTube Bank USDT.
3) Added 7.7k BNB and 2.9m USDT liquidity to PancakeSwap’s USDT-WBNB pool, while keeping LP tokens in this pool.
4) Converted 2.3m BNB to USDT via this pool.
5) mined 7 million BUNNY ($ 1B +) using assets from step 1, but since there were additional LP tokens in the PancakeSwap pool, Bunny Finance believes the exploiters added a large amount of BNB. 6) sold £4.8 million in exchange for 2.3 million WBNB and 2.9 million USDT, then started repaying the quick loan.
The root cause is that attackers can manipulate the price of BUNNY mints.
The attackers have already withdrawn 10.1k ETH ($23.5m) to Ether via the Neural Bridge, with another $14m at their BSC address.

After the attack on pancakebunny, the price of its token BUNNY fell from a high of $240 to zero in just 30 minutes, and the price of BUNNY has held steady at around $20 for the past few days.

On May 23, 2021, the most arrogant thieves, stole $32 million and announced on their official website: “We cheated you, but it’s useless to do anything about it.
(From DeFi100 official website)
In their Twitter update, DeFi100 stated that it was a hacker who attacked them, and that such arrogant statements were also made by hackers, DeFi100 also mentioned that they are trying to find a way to get the project restarted. Whether all this was really stolen, or a supervised theft, we can’t parse the dark side. With tokens dropping to $0.13, these tokens have lost their value and people can no longer trust these projects.
1/8. With about $11 million stolen from the non-50/50 pool on May 7, in addition to the $6 million already lost this week due to contract reinitialization, let’s see what happened.
2/8. The following are 9 of the 16 pools that were attacked.
vBSWAP / WBNB (70/30) gvVALUE / BUSD (98/2)BDO / BUSD (80/20) vBSWAP / BUSD (98/2)
FARM / WBNB (70/30)
RON/STEEL (60/40) BDO / vBSWAP (70/30) BAC / BUSD (80/20) BASv2 / WBNB (60/40)
3/8. Stolen funds
These tokens were exchanged to 3.24k-anyETH and withdrawn to Ether.
4/8. The exploit looks like this: 1. First, the attacker sends a small number of second tokens to pair addresses. 2. To perform the exchange, they have to extract a small number of first tokens and a large number of second tokens.
- In the wrong use of the Bancor formula, the pairing contract considers the swap to be successful (exploit part)
- The attacker swaps the first token in the same pool for the second token and repeats this operation until the exploit allows it.
8/6. Since Uniswap does not support pools with asset ratios other than 50/50, BSC’s Value DeFi uses the Bancor formula for non-standard pools. It seems that everything is in order and it is necessary to do a few power operations, but not everything is so simple…
7/8. In the power() function description, the function does not support the case ” _baseN” <_baseD”, which is the root cause of the vulnerability exploitation. This function does not work properly because the balance of the second token in a pair is much less than before the exchange.
8/8. This is not the first and last time that a project team forks someone else’s code without a deep understanding of their work. It is foolish to think that CZ will save you money if you carelessly deposit money into projects with anonymous developers or obscure teams.
Godfish has also previously told Value DeFi that the project was attacked six times, and the kindly advice was not appreciated by the hotheads. value DeFi had its funds stolen twice in the same week, leaving it with an original $1 billion lockup, which dropped its TVL to $20 million, an 80% drop, after it collapsed in a flash.
Users who suffered significant losses were slightly compensated with all vBSWAP in the Reserve Fund (2802.75 vBSWAP) and 205,659 BUSD from ValueDeFi deployers going to all users in the pool. The remaining 4540 vBSWAP will be minted and used to compensate all affected users immediately or in two parts.
After the May 24 pancakebunny copycat plate AutoShark rolled up $700,000, another copycat plate appeared a day apart called Merlinlab, which was attacked twice a day, repeating AutoShark’s old ways and rolling up $6.8 million, these scams continue to parasitize the Coin Security Smartchain (BSC) to deceive users.
The scams or hackers then keep finding ways to profit, wave after wave of attacks hit BSC, totaling over $300 million in losses, the ecology was hit hard, and hurt users fled in droves, and even with this bad situation, I still believe they can pull it off.
Back to the beginning of the development of Defi of Ether, it was also attacked a lot, and in the whole year of 2020, Defi of Ether project lost a total of 120 million USD, as DeFi is a decentralized trading mechanism without any regulator, the purpose of hackers’ frequent attacks is to get high returns and profit-driven hacking.

Everyone knows the importance of brushing their teeth. We learn from a very young age that we must properly and frequently brush our teeth, floss in between, and rinse with mouthwash in order to preserve oral health and maintain a beautiful smile.
Most people also understand the consequences of a failure to engage in proper oral hygiene following meals. If you don’t care for your teeth and your mouth, you could suffer loss of tooth enamel, staining, and tartar and plaque buildup that lead to more serious issues like cavities, tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.
How does this happen? Food particles left in your mouth serve as fuel for bacteria, which can flourish and leave behind a harmful film on your teeth that erodes enamel and allows infection to spread. In other words, brushing, flossing, and rinsing are of the utmost importance, as are regular dental visits for cleaning and check-up.
What about brushing your tongue, though? Is this something you do regularly, or something you’ve never even considered? The fact is that brushing your tongue is just as important as brushing your teeth. Here’s what you need to know.
Bacteria Isn’t Confined to Your Teeth
Bacteria in your mouth can build up on every surface, not just on your teeth, so while brushing and flossing is a good start, you need to go the extra mile by brushing your tongue. Of course, it’s important to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and use gentle strokes so as not to break the skin. No matter how clean your mouth is, open sores can cause discomfort and open the door to infection.
Rinsing Isn’t Enough
Rinsing with mouthwash is a great way to get at bacteria in the nooks and crannies that your toothbrush can’t reach, but it isn’t foolproof, especially when it comes to your tongue. Have you noticed a film on your tongue that doesn’t go away after rinsing?
This is caused by a buildup of food, bacteria, and biofilm that sticks to the tongue, causing bad breath and creating conditions that could lead to tooth decay and gum disease. You need to attack it with your toothbrush to completely get rid of it.
The proper way to brush your tongue clean is to brush both back-and-forth and side-to-side, followed by rinsing. Just be careful not to brush too hard – you don’t want to cause more harm than good. You could also use a tongue scraper if you prefer, so discuss it with your dentist to find out which tools are best suited to keeping your mouth clean and healthy.

They’re the outcasts of Capitol Hill, personae non gratae even in their own party. Duncan Hunter, Chris Collins and Steve King have been excommunicated from the House GOP conference in the most public way possible: stripped of their committee assignments and forced to watch the legislating from the sidelines.
Now, while the rest of their colleagues work on crafting bills, the trio of committee exiles are searching for ways to spend their time on Capitol Hill so they’re not just waiting around to vote or aimlessly roaming the hallways.
“They basically have nothing to do,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.). “If you’re cast out of the organized bodies and committees of Congress, and you’re kind of just a hitchhiker on the floor, there’s very little influence you can have in the House of Representatives. I suppose they can form a ‘pariah caucus’.”

Kentucky once had a helmet law for motorcyclists, but repealed it several years ago. Nationwide, 20 states had universal motorcycle helmet laws in 2010, but Michigan has since reversed course and allowed helmets to be optional for riders over 21.
The study, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, looked at 14,283 motorcycle-related deaths from 2008 to 2010. Of those, 6,027 bikers did not wear a helmet. “Only about 12 percent of those deaths occurred in the 20 states that required everyone on motorbikes to wear helmets,” Stobbe reports.
The study also found that helmet use saved $3 billion in U.S. medical expenses. Another $1.4 billion could have been saved if all states had helmet laws, the CDC concluded. Motorcycles account for about 3 percent of vehicles on the road, but 14 percent of deaths caused by traffic accidents. (Read more)

Drivers believe that electric cars will outnumber diesel cars on UK roads by 2030, according to a survey by the AA.
More than 12,500 drivers said that by the time the ban on new petrol and diesel comes into force, electric cars would form a fifth of all cars on the road (19%1). Petrol vehicles would still be the most common fuel type, but would only account for 30% of cars.
Drivers also predict a boom in hybrid technology, as well as alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and bio-diesel.
This latest prediction from drivers will be welcome news for the Government who announced the sales ban of new petrol and diesel vehicles was brought forward from 2040 to 2030.
Manufacturers will also be pleased to see considerable consumer faith in EVs. Throughout 2020, new EV sales skyrocketed with 108,205 cars being sold2. It will also help reinforce the decision made by Jaguar Land Rover earlier this week, who announced that Jaguar will become an all-electric brand by 2025 while Land Rover will trial other zero emission fuels in the UK like hydrogen3.
If approximately 33 million cars4 remain on UK roads between now and 2030, the new Car Parc would mean a boom of electric cars from 91,000 to 6.5 million.
Over the next nine years, electric cars could supercharge the way we drive
Meanwhile, pure combustion vehicles would see a dramatic drop of 16.6 million cars. Should these predictions prove correct then manufacturers will need to ensure they can fulfil the oncoming demand.
|UK CAR PARC AT END DECEMBER 2019
|PREDICTED UK CAR PARC AT JANUARY 2030
Edmund King, AA president, says; “Over the next nine years, electric cars could supercharge the way we drive. There is clearly a desire from drivers to own them. EVs will play a significant role in the future.
“Everything is working in favour of electric cars. The range of a single charge in constantly improving, the purchase and leasing prices are becoming more affordable, more models and styles are reaching the market and investments in chargepoints are being made.
“Electric vehicle technology has the ability to unlock much more than greener motoring; providing the chance to create new jobs and opportunities. More should be done to spark the EV revolution, such as scrapping the VAT on electric cars costing less than £50,0005 and the construction of numerous gigafactories.”

Gov. Pat Quinn on Tuesday renewed his call to eliminate a program that lets lawmakers grant scholarships to state schools as federal investigators look into how one former legislator doled out the taxpayer-supported tuition waivers.
The governor said lawmakers should focus on beefing up merit-based scholarships instead of handing out scholarships to whomever they please, including campaign donors. But Quinn stopped short of saying what he'll do with legislation on his desk that would prevent lawmakers from giving the awards to relatives.
Quinn vetoed a similar bill last year saying it didn't go far enough. Quinn said he'll act on the new legislation by the end of the week, but he's already voicing doubts.
"The essence of the bill on my desk is that it does not abolish the program, and that's really what I think we have to do," Quinn said. "I do want to make it clear that there's no bigger supporter of scholarships than I am. I believe that we need to enhance our scholarship programs in Illinois, but I think having a program that's had sort of a cloud of scandal around it for decades is not the way to do that."
Quinn's comments follow revelations that a federal grand jury has subpoenaed documents related to scholarships former Rep. Robert Molaro gave to children of longtime supporter Phillip Bruno. The Tribune reported last year that Bruno's children received more than $94,000 in tuition waivers in recent years despite questions about their residence eligibility.
Lawmakers are allowed to give away the equivalent of two four-year scholarships each year, though most divide them into eight one-year awards. The only requirement is that recipients live in the district of the lawmakers awarding the gift.
Since money is not set aside for the program, schools must pick up the tab each year. It's a cost Quinn said universities can't afford, especially since the state is already months behind in making payments to schools.
"Merit and need, I think those are the ways to go," Quinn said.

Online casino games have become increasingly popular over the years, providing players with the convenience and excitement of gambling from the comfort of their own homes. However, with the rise in popularity, it is crucial to ensure that your online casino experience is safe and secure. In this article, we will explore the importance of secure payments and trustworthy platforms, like mostbet, when it comes to enjoying online casino games safely.
The importance of secure payments in online casinos
When it comes to online casino games, secure payments are of utmost importance. As a player, you want to ensure that your personal and financial information is kept safe from any potential threats. This is why reputable online casinos invest in robust security measures to protect their players’ data.
One way to ensure secure payments is to look for online casinos that utilize encryption technology. Encryption helps to scramble your information, making it virtually impossible for hackers to decipher. Additionally, reputable online casinos often partner with trusted payment providers that offer secure and encrypted payment gateways. This ensures that your financial transactions are protected from any unauthorized access.
How to identify a trustworthy online casino
Identifying a trustworthy online casino can be a daunting task, especially with the vast number of platforms available. However, there are certain factors that you can consider to help you make an informed decision. Firstly, check for the online casino’s reputation and track record. Look for reviews and feedback from other players to gauge their experiences with the platform.
Secondly, ensure that the online casino has a transparent and easily accessible customer support system. A trustworthy platform will provide multiple channels of communication, such as live chat, email, or phone support, to assist players with any queries or concerns they may have.
Lastly, consider the variety and quality of games offered by the online casino. Reputable platforms collaborate with renowned game providers to offer a wide range of high-quality games that are regularly audited for fairness. By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision and choose a trustworthy online casino.
The role of licensing and regulation in ensuring a safe online casino experience
Licensing and regulation play a crucial role in ensuring a safe and secure online casino experience. Reputable online casinos go through a rigorous process to obtain and maintain their licenses, which are issued by respected gambling authorities. These licenses act as a seal of approval, indicating that the online casino operates in compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Moreover, regulated online casinos are often required to undergo regular audits by independent testing agencies. These audits assess the fairness and integrity of the games offered by the platform, ensuring that players have a fair chance of winning. By choosing a licensed and regulated online casino, you can trust that your gaming experience is safe and free from any potential manipulation.
Secure payment options for online casino games
Secure payment options are essential when engaging in online casino games. Reputable platforms offer a variety of secure payment methods to cater to the needs of their players. These payment options often include credit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency.
It is important to choose a payment method that you are comfortable with and one that offers a high level of security. Credit cards and e-wallets are popular choices as they provide an extra layer of protection through their fraud prevention measures. Additionally, some online casinos may offer exclusive bonuses or promotions for certain payment methods, giving you an added incentive to choose secure options.
Tips for ensuring safe and secure online casino transactions
While reputable online casinos prioritize the security of their platforms, there are also steps that players can take to ensure safe and secure online casino transactions. Firstly, it is crucial to keep your login credentials and personal information confidential. Never share your password or sensitive details with anyone, and be cautious of phishing attempts or suspicious emails asking for your information.
Secondly, regularly update your device’s security software and operating system. This helps to protect against any potential vulnerabilities that hackers may exploit. Additionally, avoid using public Wi-Fi networks when making financial transactions, as they are often unsecure and can leave your information vulnerable.
Lastly, it is advisable to set a budget and stick to it when engaging in online casino games. This helps to ensure responsible gambling and prevents any financial strain. By following these tips, you can enhance the safety and security of your online casino transactions.

East Lancashire Railway’s award-winning 1940s Weekend is a highlight in many a vintage enthusiast’s calendar
Lancashire’s wartime weekend
Pull on your glad rags and be transported back to wartime Britain over the late May bank holiday weekend.
East Lancashire Railway’s award-winning 1940s Weekend is a highlight in many a vintage enthusiast’s calendar, and this year’s event is expected to be the best yet with more activities than ever.
Spot Captain Mainwaring lookalikes in the battle re-enactments, do your best lindy hop to the sounds of 1940s-style bands, ogle vintage cars and indulge in a cream tea on a steam train.
Wander on the Isle of Wight
There’s no better way to discover the Isle of Wight’s many beauty spots than walking – and the island’s Walking Festival offers the ideal chance to pull on your boots and go exploring.
The event is spread across two weeks from May 2 to 17 and there are over 200 walks to choose from, including a hike through the walled garden, pleasure grounds and terraces of Osborne House.
Alternatively, you could join the Taste of Wight Walk to visit top gourmet spots while soaking up serene coastal views – or how about an exotic alpaca trek?
The Cotswolds Olimpicks can be dated back to 1612 after being started by local barrister Robert Dover
See the eccentric Cotswolds
For English eccentricity at its very finest, head to the Cotswolds Olimpicks.
Started by a local barrister, Captain Robert Dover, the world’s inaugural ‘Olimpick Games’ were staged on a Cotswold hillside in 1612.
Today, the annual event near Chipping Campden – this year held on May 29 – attracts thousands of spectators as ‘athletes’ take part in obstacle courses and tugs-of-war, as well as the extremely peculiar sport of shin-kicking.
Seven cars hang from giant clothes pegs on a wire in Brighton as part of the annual Art Festival Fringe street theatre
Fringe benefits in Brighton
No one does flamboyance quite like Brighton, and you’ll see this unique city at its very best every May when the Brighton Fringe and Brighton Festival paint the place every colour of the rainbow.
Cabaret, comedy, club nights, burlesque, street performance and theatre combine to make up an eclectic programme of events for the world’s third-largest fringe festival.

19th December campaign target BAIL!
On Monday the 21st November the first testimony from the prosecution witness was heard in court in Sa Keo. The witness, a female immigration officer working on the Thai-Cambodia border who initiatied Somyot’s arrest on the 30thApril 2011, gave evidence stating that Somyot had not attempted to corss the border illegally. Rather, he was arrested trying to pass through the legal immigration check point, something that he would not have attempted given the relative ease for people to avoide border controls. This is a good indication that, despite prosecution claims, Somyot was not attempting to flee Thailand in order to avoid arrest and that the charges made against him were false.
This statement supports Somyot’s request for bail and the Free Somyot Campaign is now focussing on building support via an open protest letter for Somyot’s request for bail to be accepted. He and his lawyers have requested bail four times this year, all have been denied without good cause.
The next trail date will be 19 December 2011 in Petchabun Province. International observers and supporters of the campaign were highly active in observing and monitoring this first court hearing and will also be in attendance on the next date. We hope to bring you live coverage on the day from the campaigns websites:

Good morning! Dropping by to share some baby shower invitations I made with a friend earlier this week! SOOOO happy with how they turned out! The shower is going to be woodland animal themed for a little boy - so these adorable Avery Elle Storybook and More Stories stamp sets were perfect! We were also able to achieve a flat and easy to mail design! YAY!
We made 8 each of 3 different designs. The sentiments were printed from the computer, trimmed into a banner, and with a bit of distress ink applied to soften the colors a bit. Each critter was stamped on watercolor paper, softly colored in, then cut out. We layered some older Authentique papers that I had in my stash (no idea what lines - I just have lots of them and have saved them specifically for things like this!) - and added some messy stitching on the bottom to ground the images. The woodgrain paper is also some older Avery Elle stuff that I had in my stash from a while back, but I believe is discontinued. Would be easy to reproduce with am embossing folder and kraft cardstock though I imagine. We adhered the animals with strong adhesive, but only in the centers. This allows for a bit of dimension, while still keeping the flat design easy to drop in the mail.
Anyway - here is a closer look at each of the designs:
And here are links to as many of the supplies as I could link to - thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful weekend!

Philip Mazeikas, who enjoys composing music, first experienced symptoms of schizophrenia and mental illness when he was 18. “What we saw as parents was a person who was very artistic,” his father Mike Mazeikas said. “Extremely intelligent. High IQ. We were just always proud, and feeding it in a way — even when it was so eccentric. I didn’t see the signs until it got extreme.”

A poster depicting Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying being beaten by Hong Kong-American martial artist Bruce Lee. Many of those pro-Beijing ballots come from trade groups representing a negligible fraction of the city’s population and economy who were added at the central government’s insistence and who appoint rather than elect members, said Ken Tsang, a committee member who elected to represent social workers. “It’s difficult to find a fisherman in Hong Kong anymore, yet there are 60 of them within the 1,200, the same ratio as teachers, social workers and lawyers,” Tsang said.

Last year Madrid’s city and regional governments sold almost 5,000 rent-controlled flats to private equity investors including Goldman Sachs and Blackstone.

Despite the language we use about drugs, many people don’t see themselves as “drug users” but as rational adults who aren’t on a mission to seek moral disintegration and cause themselves harm. People who use drugs are just people who happen to use drugs (they might also do yoga, go the cinema, get degrees, litter the streets or be into base-jumping) – normal people who care about their loved ones, their health and well-being and want to make the most of that wonderful thing that we all share: life.

The United States’ 34-year-long experiment with Reaganomics has been a complete failure and libertarian economic policies, while they might sound great, have done unprecedented damage to our economy and way of life.

When he was elected in 2010, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback began to slash core government services and privatize the rest. His austerity politics resulted in the state being downgraded by S&P in August 2014, and his privatization initiatives have also drawn criticism, causing one leading Republican to state, “I had hoped that it wouldn’t be as extreme as it’s been … what we didn’t know was that Sam would use this state as crash test dummies for his own fiscal experiments.” Kids receiving child support payments from absent parents would be among Brownback’s first crash test dummies.

Tony, 48, became homeless after losing his job. Unable to find work or a place to live, he slept wherever he could – first under a bridge and later in the local forest where he felt safe. It was a particularly bad winter. Cold and desperate, he went to his council for help, but despite having a heart condition, they turned him away with no choice but to continue sleeping rough.
In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott (above) has made growing for-profit education one of his top priorities. And, in doing so, he helped out his political buddies and donors while screwing over Florida’s students. One of the biggest winners in Scott’s privatization push, for example, was an ALEC-linked company called K12, Inc. that actually got an “F” from Florida’s education department.
Despite the West End having the second-lowest level of child poverty in Dundee, councillor Fraser MacPherson (above) said the figure was still “too high”. He added: “It doesn’t matter if it is one in four, one in five or one in ten, to have any child living in poverty in the 21st century is unacceptable.
Not all British period dramas are the same. They don’t all involve servants faithfully tendering to lovable members of the aristocracy. Many do, of course, especially given the commercial imperative of appealing to affluent Americans, most of whom like Britain’s history posh.
Nearly one in four Californians live in poverty, a higher fraction than in any other state, according to U.S. Census figures released this week that take into account the high cost of housing and other basic needs in places like San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
Another obvious question was asked by Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price before Duncan died: Did the fact that he didn’t have health insurance play a role in his receiving substandard treatment? “Presbyterian is a boutique hospital next to a little Ellis Island,” Price told the Washington Post, referring to the largely immigrant neighborhood where the hospital is located. “If you don’t have insurance, you’re not going to get treated. That’s the elephant in the room.”

Jusoisatu and her son, Sam, are among the 30-some survivors living in the old Lassa Fever ward at Kenema Hospital.
In the deep state, politics becomes the domain of the ultra-wealthy, the powerful few who run powerful financial services, big corporations and the imperious elite of the defense industries and other components of the military-industrial complex. Corporate interests such as ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel companies, megabanks such as Bank of America, and defense industries such as Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin are powerful lobbying groups and as such have control of the major seats of political power and the commanding institutions necessary to insure that the deeply anti-democratic state rules in the interests of the few while exploiting and repressing the many.

I need to inspect and replace my front fork steering neck bearings. It's on a 2009 Dyna FXDL and the HD part number for the bearing is #48300-60. That part number is for both the race & cup. From the service manual picture they appear to be a caged taper roller bearing. By chance would anyone know what this bearing would cross to in one of the big bearing companies? (Timken, SKF, NTN etc) Even if you happen to have an old removed bearing, just knowing the dimensions of an old bearing would also work just as well. I can cross the dimensions to a catalog part number. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

We have received some requests for changes and improvements to PROLINES 8 (all versions) that include use of the mouse wheel for zoom control in any view (once a view is active) and ability to rotate the perspective view by holding the Left Mouse button down and dragging. Both of these concepts are under review for incorporation in a future release of PROLINES 8.
We are also currently working on changes to the initial Parametric Design for a new Hull Design. We have added a new Catamaran Hull type that allows for the instant creation of a dual hull catamaran for power or sail. This new hull type will require changes to Hydrostatics and Stability calculations before it can be released. This is a significant change and will require considerable work to validate all calculations before the new version is released.
We are also considering the addition of a body view image of the selected hull type during the parametric hull design (File, New…) design dialog. This will better indicate the basic shape of the hull type that is being designed.
We plan other changes to PROLINES existing fairing tools to offer easier to use and understand data plots of curvature or slope of hull shape in various planes. We have already heavily improved the Edit, Visual Vertex feature in PROLINES and may add capability there as well.
Please write and send us your concepts for PROLINES features or comment on any issue you have found so that we can correct any errors.
Cheers and all the best for great boat/ yacht / ship designs with PROLINES.

Food insecurity is the inadequate or uncertain access to food because of financial constraints
The experience of food insecurity is a serious public health problem in Canada, and all indications are that the problem is getting worse.
The experience of food insecurity can range from concerns about running out of food before there is more money to buy more, to the inability to afford a balanced diet, to going hungry, missing meals, and in extreme cases, not eating for whole days because of a lack of food and money for food.
Access to healthy, affordable and culturally appropriate food is a physical necessity, a human right and critical for people to fully participate in society. Every Calgarian needs an appropriate income that allows them to choose their food and achieve food security. – Enough for All 2.0

Yukon Status of Women Council (YSWC) is a women’s equality seeking and awareness group, each locally and nationally. Note the very carefully colour co-ordinated outfits, varied dress lengths, vibrant colors, and the diverse hat types of the trendy women above! Because pregnant women who are stressed create much more testosterone, their babies are exposed to higher levels of the hormone, which can effect the youngster from as early as 13 weeks gestation. Women just adore it when they can make trends work for them in their own individualistic way. Pelvic exams , Pap tests , and screenings for breast cancer are all vital well being care requirements for women. But until the manufacturers realise this, hundreds of Doc-newbies will each year throw away their new boots just before they realize how to get by means of those painful early days. So late as 1903 the British Residence of Lords decided against the admission of women to the English Bar, even though some are employed as solicitors. Clinch your waist and get in vogue with designer, leather or metal belts for women.
As sports researchers in western cultures tell us, women are faced with the female/athlete paradox: even when they turn out to be athletes, they are forced to conform to dominant notions of femininity. We know that women who might be miscarrying can go just about anywhere else and hear about the reality that there is most most likely no hope. You can discover much more in make-up and cosmetics … Read More

I hope that you all had a lovely Easter Sunday.
I know I sure did.
It was weird for me not spending the day with family but I loved being in my own house, cooking my own dinner, etc etc.
Josh worked until 6 o'clock which gave me a while (all day) to bake lovely goodies and cook a mouth-watering dinner. I spent the day Saturday cleaning the house so that we could relax all day Sunday.
Also...something to note: Josh recently bought me an incredible Apple device and I am now completely obsessed with the game Angry Birds and the Instagram app (I know, it's totally not cool that I am jumping on this indie bandwagon a few months late and bringing my obsessive photo snapping fingers along. Sorry Hipsters).
I colored some eggs while waiting for my Lovely Hubs to come home.
Made strawberry eclairs. So yumm.

How long min/hr can HPV be transmittable on clothing, soap, toilet seat, etc? I know virus exists forever outside body but when can virus not transmit
No transmission risk: HPV has never been known to have been transmitted by clothing, toilet seats, or the other things you mention. Soap would kill it instantly. And I'm not at all sure the virus "exists forever outside the body". Where did you hear that? If you don't have sex, you cannot catch or transmit the genital HPV types.

Probably no need: I can't tell your sex. If female, then HPV testing is now done routinely with pap smears. Other than that, HPV testing is rarely needed or recommended. Even if you have been exposed, e.g. a partner with genital warts or abnormal pap, no testing is recommended; just see a doc if anything abnormal appears. Everybody has genital HPV at one time or another, and almost all infections clear up anyway. ...Read more

ACI Report Recognizes Shrinkage Compensation Abilities of Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, and other expansive additives are now categorized as shrinkage compensating admixtures (SCAs), according to the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
A recent ACI report, which includes reviews of several categories and types of chemical admixtures, introduced a new category for magnesium oxide because it recently gained acceptance in North America due to its ability to expand at a rate closely matching the drying shrinkage of cement. Magnesium oxide has been used in dam construction in China for several decades.
The ACI 212 Report on Chemical Admixtures for Concrete presents each category with common uses, sustainability attributes, and potential benefits of a properly proportioned concrete mixture to various professionals, including the concrete contractor, concrete producer, and design professional.
The report states, “Magnesium oxide behavior will vary depending on the quality and the heat of calcination. In general, high-quality light burnt magnesium oxide is most successful in compensating for the drying and autogenous shrinkage without deleterious effects on the concrete. Success has also been achieved when using a hybrid material that combines shrinkage reducing admixtures to reduce the pore water tension and SCAs, specifically lightly burnt magnesium oxide, to provide a controlled expansion.”
PREVent-C®, the most effective admixture in mitigating shrinkage cracks and curling, is a magnesia-based product that works in multiple ways to not only reduce cracks but prevent them altogether. PREVent-C® blends the expansive components of magnesia with a glycol ether blend that reduces surface water tension to defend against cracks.
Typical PREVent-C addition rates range from 2 percent to 7 percent, based on cement content, or 2 lbs. to 7 lbs. for each 100 lbs. of cement in concrete, mortar or grout. When used at 5 percent addition rate, PREVent-C has been shown to reduce shrinkage cracking as high as 90 percent to 100 percent. These crack-free results also improve the construction sequence and project durability, while significantly reducing repair and maintenance costs over the life of the structure.
PREVent-C® is the most effective solution for any project that wants to avoid shrinkage cracks.
The most common applications are:
– Water/wastewater treatment
– Bridge decks
– Airport runways and pavements
– Architectural concrete
– Elevated decks and slabs
– Packaged materials
– Secondary containment

The nutty flavor of flaxseeds combined with their large content of omega-3 fatty acids makes them a popular addition to diets. While whole flaxseeds feature a soft crunch, the nutrients in ground seeds are more easily absorbed.
These seeds have a high oil content, and although the oil is relatively stable while the seed is intact, refrigeration is recommended to slow the oxidation process and prolong the life of the seed. Raw flax (also known as linseed) seeds contain a cyanogenic glycoside which is toxic if consumed in large quantities (20-30 tablespoons per day). The cyanogenic glycosides are volatile and will readily dissipate when flax is cooked. Flavor – bland, slightly green-grassy taste. Non-irradiated.

Welcome to Silhouette Learning Academy.
Hi there! I’m Melanie, a 45 year old, mother and wife who is passionate about crafting with Silhouette machines. I became a member of the Silhouette Crafting family several years ago when I purchased my original Cameo. Over the years I have spent many hours learning the Silhouette Studio Software and exploring the numerous project types you are able to create.
I originally brought my Cameo to explore paper crafting and didn’t use the machine for much else in the beginning. Paper Crafting has always intrigued me, I love the way you can take a sheet of paper and make 3D models. As craft forums became more common place on the internet I realised that there was so much more I could do with the Cameo and expanded my crafting to include vinyl. Vinyl was a whole new medium, and through research and perseverance, I was producing a different kind of craft which enabled me to create professional looking projects. The next progression for me was using Vinyl as a stencil to use with etching cream, and this blew my mind, there were so many possibilities and to the annoyance of my family I found that anything glass or slate that wasn’t nailed down became a beautiful piece of personalised art.
I loved etching so much I purchased a Silhouette Curio, a machine purposely built for etching and whilst it had some limitations on the projects it could produce I was amazed at the results, it also opened my eyes to the software and some of its capabilities. The Studio Software is an amazing design tool. I never been good at art, but with Silhouette Studio I was able to create beautiful profession designs easily at the press of a few buttons.
In recent years Silhouette released a 3D printer, the Alta. I had always been interested in 3D printers but was intimidated by the thought of having to build a printer!! The Alta, a delta style printer, was marketed as plug and play so I decided to give it a go. At first I was a little overwhelmed by this little machine, as I had no previous experience at all in 3D printing, but again after research and perseverance I was printing 3D designs. I love my Alta and highly recommend it to everyone, but you do need a little patience, its definitely not for the faint hearted.
Over the years I have helped many people on Silhouette Forums, with problems . I had been aware of Terri Johnson Creates Licensed Silhouette Instructor Course for a while and loved the idea of becoming a licensed instructor enabling me to help more people and sharing my passion for crafting with A Silhouette machine, but as the course was based in America it was logistically difficult for me to participate. 2020 became a very strange year for everyone and restricted what we were able to do. Due to Covid 19 restrictions Terri Johnson Creates offered this course virtually online, and where previously it had been logistically impossible for me to do the course I was now able to Sign Up. I learnt so much from that course and more importantly how to translate my years of knowledge into a format that could be used to teach.
There is so much information on the internet, but sometimes this can become very confusing. The main problem I found throughout my crafting journey was deciphering and sourcing the materials needed to create a project. A lot of the information available online is based on information supplied by Americans where crafting, and particularly crafting with a Silhouette, is more common place and sometimes some of the materials used are just not available in the UK. At Silhouette Learning Academy I am trying to create a stress free way of crafting. All online projects will include all of the materials needed to complete that project posted directly to your door.

On Wednesday, September 19, 2018, the conference room of the Commercial Agriculture Development Project (PDAC) in Mpila (Brazzaville), Republic of Congo, served as a venue for the launch of the work of the external audit of the Agricultural Support Fund (ASF).
The ceremony was chaired by the Coordinator of the Steering Committee of this audit, Jean-Marie Montsagna, Administrative and Legal Advisor to Minister Calixte Nganongo, in charge of finance and budget, and supervisor of the Steering Committee.
Before the 4 members of the Committee, namely: the Project Advisor to the Minister of Finance and Budget, Zacharie Mokemo; the Director General of the ASF, Appollinaire Itoua; the representative of the Minister in charge of Agriculture in the person of his Inspector General of Services, Ambroise Loufouma and the Administrative Attaché to the Office of the Ministry of Finance and Budget, Joseph Ekoubi Ossibi, the Montsagna Coordinator recalled that the external audit of the Agricultural Support Fund was recommended by the Government of the Republic It will be carried out by the Noott-Conseil firm and will cover the conditions for granting credit, as well as the Fund’s financial and accounting statements. It will also ensure the conditions for pursuing and formalizing debtors. It will also define a strategy for relaunching the Fund’s activities.
As regards the conditions for granting, the auditors will have to ensure that the beneficiaries of the Fund are farmers, market gardening cooperatives, professional farmers, cattle breeders, fish farmers, etc.
The audit will also have to verify whether each beneficiary has been identified in phase with its well delimited cultivation land in hectares; whether this land is fertile; whether it provides shelter from bad weather and whether it offers guarantees against plant diseases.
With regard to the status and qualification of the beneficiary, the Audit Firm will advise itself of its identity; its diploma or professional qualification, its accounting pledge in the event of failure to perform its task; and its guarantee of reimbursement or its contribution to national development.
Finally, the audit work will also focus on the evaluation of the Agricultural Support Fund, in particular, on the annual budgets allocated, such as the CFAF 4 billion provided for in the State budget in 2018.
The role of Agriculture, according to the Head of State, in the diversification of the economy
In an effort to diversify the Congolese economy, the President of the Republic, Denis Sassou-N’Guesso, has always focused his attention on agricultural development. Agriculture being a very promising sector, for which the Head of State has always highlighted policies to encourage the production and consumption of local products.
Slogans such as “Agriculture, priority of priorities” or “A nation who do not produce what they consume is not a free nation” are still remembered.
Unfortunately, all this vision of the President of the Republic to move forward has so far resulted in unflattering results on the ground. The establishment of the Agricultural Support Fund could have brought a real revolution to the policy of Head of State Denis Sassou-N’Guesso. Unfortunately!
That is why, today, the President of the Republic, in an effort to understand the reasons for the failure of the agricultural sector, instructed the government, through the Minister of Finance and Budget, Calixte Nganongo, to carry out an external audit of the Agricultural Support Fund. Agriculture still represents only 10% of the gross domestic product (GDP), compared to 85% for the oil sector. This trend should be urgently reversed.

Georgia has the second most soundstage square footage domestically behind only Los Angeles County, according to FilmLA Research, a non-profit research group out of Los Angeles.
The state, with an estimated 3 million square feet in soundstage space as of the end of 2021, has now passed New York (2.8 million). Soundstages are the large, sound-proofed areas of a movie studio where filming takes place.
A year earlier, Georgia had an estimated 2 million square feet in soundstage space, behind New York (2.4 million), according to FilmLA Research.
Georgia has the fourth-most square footage in the world based on how FilmLA Research breaks down square footage, sometimes by province (in Canada), country (the U.K.), state (Georgia and New York) or county (Los Angeles County.)
Los Angeles County by the end of 2021 had 6.2 million square feet in soundstage space, up from 5.4 million in 2020. The United Kingdom grew from 4.7 million to 5.4 million. Ontario in Canada, focused largely around Toronto, expanded from 3.3 million to 3.8 million. British Columbia, which covers Vancouver, increased square footage from 2.5 million to 2.8 million.
The date collected by the organization is already more than a year out of date. Soundstage space is growing rapidly worldwide to fulfill growing demand for content in recent years, fueled by streaming services. But in 2023, there are signs of a slow down in scripted programming with cutbacks at HBO Max and Netflix.
This year, Georgia is seeing major growth in soundstages with the planned opening of at least three new studios: Electric Owl Studios near the Indian Creek MARTA station, Assembly Studios in Doraville and Lionsgate Studios Atlanta in Douglasville. Athena Studios in Athens, with 82,000 square feet in soundstages, recently opened and Trilith Studios in Fayetteville is adding eight more soundstages on top of its existing 24.
