(ANSA) - Vatican City, March 5 - Pope Francis called on the
faithful to abandon their "lazy addiction to evil" in an Ash
Wednesday General Audience where more than 30,000 people filled
St. Peter's Square.
Explaining the purpose of Lent, the 40-day period that
began Wednesday, the pontiff commented on how it is "time to
change course", and get away from addiction that "anesthetizes
the heart" in times of tragedy, violence, poverty and
"Don't take violence for granted, nor our homeless brothers
and sisters, nor refugees in search of dignity," said the pope,
adding that "love for God can make change for the better".
The pope offered up Lent as an opportunity to confront
negativity and indifference via a collective renewal in God and
"Faith and open hearts to our brothers are essential during
the Lenten period," he said.

The Calgary Stampede says it will conduct a “thorough review” of chuckwagon safety after six horses died throughout the 2019 Rangeland Derby, making this year’s edition of the event the deadliest in almost a decade.
Three horses were euthanized following injuries sustained during the final evening of chuckwagon races at the Stampede on Sunday, doubling the 10-day competition’s tally of horse deaths.

The incident happened during the eighth heat, when a chuckwagon rig belonging to driver Evan Salmond went down in the northeast corner of the track.
The right lead horse of Salmond’s wagon sustained a running injury, according to the Stampede. A veterinarian assessed the horse and determined it suffered a fractured left hind cannon bone.
Two other horses belonging to Salmond also sustained “serious” leg injuries. The Stampede said they were cared for immediately on the track, but a veterinary team determined there was no option for treatment.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) decided to cancel Notice 606 on the provision for and writing off of bad debts with effect from July 21, 2022. Notice 606 had set out the requirements for all banks in Singapore to maintain adequate provisions for bad and doubtful debts as well as requirements to seek MAS approval before writing off bad debts to certain related parties. Additionally, MAS revised notice 637 on risk-based capital adequacy requirements for locally incorporated full and wholesale banks. The revised Notice 637 will take effect on January 01, 2023.
Notice 637 sets out the capital adequacy ratio and leverage ratio requirements for a locally incorporated banks, along with the methodology and process for calculating these ratios. The notice sets out the internal capital adequacy assessment process requirements as well as public disclosure requirements for a bank in relation to its capital adequacy and risk exposures. The MAS Notice 637 (Amendment) 2022 reflects changes to the MAS Notice 637 to:
- implement the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements for the interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) that have been published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision

If you want a beautiful emerald lawn, you’re going to need to fertilize it. A schedule for fertilizing your lawn is found in Daily Watering and Yearly Treatment Table . However, there are many factors that go into choosing and using fertilizers.
Fertilizer Bag Numbers
When looking at fertilizers, the ﬁrst thing you should check is the string of numbers on the front. Usually just 3 numbers long, they represent the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the fertilizer blend. They will always be in this order.
Occasionally you will have 4 numbers on a bag. This fourth number stands for the element sulfur.
Nitrogen is the chemical element that makes your yard that beautiful green color.
Phosphorus encourages root development and lawn maturation.
Brands We Recommend
We recommend either IFA’s 4 step program or Star Nursery’s excellent fertilizers. Each brand comes with their own recommended cycle for application and we encourage you to follow the directions on the bag of the fertilizer mixture you choose.
Be sure to test your soil to know what your lawn needs when it comes to fertilizers. The soil check can be done either at home by yourself or sent out to have your soil professionally analyzed. We recommend:
- Soil Tester 3 in 1 – This product will test your soil moisture, the pH of your soil, and the amount of sunlight your lawn is receiving.
- Utah State University Extension – After ﬁlling out the appropriate form and paying the fee, USU will professionally analyze your soil in their lab
Useful Lawn Treatments
As grubs reach maturity feeding on your turf grass roots, they can be a considerable hazard to the health of your lawn; but, it is normal to have a small amount of grubs. They can even be good little aerators for your grass. But if you notice tunneling in your grass, then you deﬁnitely have too many. Start checking for grubs in the early spring. By catching any infestation early, you can prevent serious damage to your lawn.
For the application of grub control chemicals, you will want to either use grub control spray or grub control granular formula in early April to kill them while they are still eggs. A second application of grub pesticide in the ﬁrst week of July will kill the grubs the ﬁrst application may have missed. It takes persistence and often two to three years to get rid of grubs so expect to do these treatments multiple times. To learn more about lawn pests, read the section about “Common Potential Lawn Problems.”
Brands we recommend are:
- Bayer Advanced 24-Hour Grub Killer Plus
- Scotts GrubEx
There are many types of fungi that can attack your lawn. As the diseases hide in the soil and are rarely visible, they can be difficult to treat. Prevention is key here, so keep your yard free of decomposing plant matter (leaves, thatch, branches) and there will be little for the fungi to live on. You should also keep your grass between 1 ½ – 2” so that it can ventilate at night and cool down. For an extra measure of safety, you can apply fungicide in July when the lawn is most susceptible to growing fungi.
Along with pulling out weeds by hand and cleaning your yard equipment so you don’t spread weed spores, there are two types of herbicides (weed control chemicals) you can use to keep your lawn weed-free. Pre-emergent herbicide is for before the weeds show up, and post-emergent herbicide is used to treat visible weeds. With either product, be sure to follow the directions on the packaging carefully to ensure safety and proper usage.
Reseeding / Overseeding
As seen on the lawn care schedule we’ve provided, there is a time listed for reseeding your lawn each year. If you simply want to reseed it with a fescue blend that would be ﬁne. This will help your lawn to regrow seasonally each spring.
To create a “winter lawn”, you will overseed your existing fescue lawn with a blend of annual ryegrass and fescue. The ryegrass will grow during the cold months, keeping your lawn attractive over the winter. It dies off in the spring, allowing your fescue blend to take its place during the warm months.
Fescue grass is more tolerant of acidic soil and soil in St George is alkaline. We use the fescue seed because this grass does very well in our desert heat. So, to grow a healthy lawn, you’ll have to adjust your soil’s pH, aiming for neutral (7). This is how you should do it:
Before you fertilize for the ﬁrst time
Be sure to check your soil’s pH level before fertilizing. St. George’s soil is usually alkaline and sulfur will bring the pH level to neutral.
Do not mix a sulfur treatment with fertilizer
There is already sulfur in fertilizer (a smaller amount) and the combination of fertilizer and sulfur treatment will chemically burn your lawn. After you apply a sulfur treatment to your lawn to neutralize the pH, wait one month before fertilizing.
|Soil Test Result||How to Neutralize Your Soil|
|Acidic 0-6.9||Neutralize acidic levels in your soil by adding lime (ground limestone rock). The amount will vary based on your needs. You should not use more than 10 lbs of lime per 1,000 sq ft of lawn. Follow speciﬁc instructions for application on the product you purchase. Do not use hydrated or burned lime as these will damage your lawn; however, your lawn is most likely not acidic since Saint George soil is typically alkaline.|
|Neutral 7||Your lawn will likely never produce a neutral test result. But if you’re able to keep the soil within 6.5- 7.5, this will be great for your lawn.|
|Alkaline 7.1-14||To move your lawn away from alkalinity, add sulfur to your lawn. This can be done with elemental sulfur, or with fertilizers that speciﬁcally include increased amounts of sulfur. Some companies offer liquid sulfur, but this can be difficult to apply evenly. Remember to follow instructions listed on the product you purchase.|
Should your lawn be struggling with water penetration because of our native clay soil, you may want to condition your lawn with gypsum. Beneﬁts of gypsum:
- Removes the saline from the clay soil
- Loosens soil and allows better water penetration
- Adds calcium to the soil
The treatment should last for several months. Some areas in Saint George have natural gypsum deposits. This can be discovered by having a professional soil test performed. This test is relatively inexpensive for homeowners and can be a beneﬁcial add-on when you’ve already invested so much into your landscaping.
There are three basic types of fertilizer spreaders. Within these types there is some variation, so see which one best suits your yard’s needs.
- Rotary spreader – Best for covering large areas, a rotary spreader spreads its contents in wide arcs. Some spreaders have adjustable spreading patterns. The outer edges will not get as much product as the main part of the pass, so be sure to overlap your fertilizing arcs. Rotary spreaders come in both handheld, pull and push applicators.
- Drop spreader – Best for tight spaces as it doesn’t spray its contents, the drop spreader applies fertilizer in straight lines. You can use a push applicator or a pulling one that can be attached to the back of a riding lawn mower.
- Liquid spreader – This type of fertilizer requires water to aid its distribution. There are a couple of methods for distribution: product attached to garden hose and sprayed on lawn or powder mixed with water and distributed in a liquid fertilizer caster. It isn’t the most accurate method, but can be a quick ﬁx.
Keep your leftover fertilizer in a dry, secure place. It is highly ﬂammable. Keep it far from a heat source. Fertilizer will not expire so hang onto any remaining product
Common Fertilizing Mistakes
Some of the common mistakes people make when fertilizing their lawns are:
Not maintaining a steady pace – Using a spreader to distribute your fertilizer can be helpful when used correctly. However, the effectiveness of any spreader is dependant on how steady a pace you can keep, otherwise you may over/under fertilize areas of your lawn. Do your best to keep an even and constant pace as you use your spreader.
Fertilizing a hard packed lawn – If you attempt to treat a lawn with hard packed soil, you’ll likely not see the desired results as the soil prohibits penetration of the chemicals. You can condition the lawn with gypsum prior to fertilization to loosen the soil.
Sporadic fertilization – Your lawn needs regular care, and over-fertilizing can chemically burn your lawn. However, if you wait too long, you can lose parts of your lawn to nutrient deﬁciency and it will go brown and die. Be sure to follow your chosen fertilizer brand’s fertilizing program.

It’s a time when underdog teams can rise to the occasion and make a run for the championship, and when… There has been tons of talk about Bitcoin’s similarity of the current bottom reversal with the 2019 one. A lot of comparisons have been made, we’ve started doing that since November, but the time has come that BTC either confirms or dismisses the 2019 fractal.
How many dollars is $200 Bitcoins?
200 Bitcoin = 4501340 US Dollar (USD)
The US-based exchange Cryptsy declared bankruptcy in January 2016, ostensibly because of a 2014 hacking incident; the court-appointed receiver later alleged that Cryptsy’s CEO had stolen $3.3 million. In early August 2012, a lawsuit was filed in San Francisco court against Bitcoinica – a bitcoin trading venue – claiming about US$460,000 from the company. Bitcoinica was hacked twice in 2012, which led to allegations that the venue neglected the safety of customers’ money and cheated them out of withdrawal requests. Securities and Exchange Commission filed an administrative action against Erik T. Voorhees, for violating Securities Act Section 5 for publicly offering unregistered interests in two bitcoin websites in exchange for bitcoins. Bitcoin generates more academic interest year after year; the number of Google Scholar articles published mentioning bitcoin grew from 83 in 2009, to 424 in 2012, and 3580 in 2016.
Bitcoin is secured with a Proof-of-Work mechanism, which means millions of miners work together to secure the decentralized network. Forcing a transaction is impossible because they would have to control 51% of all miners. Significant percentage of bitcoin mining uses renewable energy instead of traditional energy sources that are bad for the environment. Market cap is calculated by multiplying the asset’s circulating supply with its current price.
The 3Commas currency calculator allows you to convert a currency from Bitcoin to US Dollar in just a few clicks at live exchange rates. Given that Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to surface in the market, the other digital currencies that emerged are referred to as altcoins. Bitcoins can be transferred from a bitcoin exchanges to one of many bitcoin wallets, ranging from online options to ‘cold storage’. No, thanks to the Bitcoin protocol, your bitcoin cannot be copied. The word ‘crypto’ in ‘cryptocurrency’ comes from the word ‘cryptography’, a technique that allows for secure communication, meaning that it is impossible to counterfeit bitcoin, unlike fiat.
How do I calculate the conversion from BTC to USD?
But while the electricity figures are alarmingly high, it’s important to note that bitcoin mining at most accounts for 1.29% of any single country’s energy consumption. They used the exchange’s NEAR software to sell them all nominally, creating a massive “ask” order at any price. Within minutes, the price reverted to its correct user-traded value.

You can send a variety of international currencies to multiple countries reliably, quickly, and safely, and at a rate cheaper than most banks.
A bullish case would be that stocks have had a great rally on Friday, while BTC dumped, so we “should” go up and follow stocks. However, I think the bearish case is getting more realistic at… They want you to buy more, so they can dump on you even harder.
In May 2013, Ted Nelson speculated that Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki is Satoshi Nakamoto. Later in 2013 the Israeli researchers Dorit Ron and Adi Shamir pointed to Silk Road-linked Ross William Ulbricht as the possible person behind the cover. The two researchers based their suspicion on an analysis of the network of bitcoin transactions. These allegations were contested and Ron and Shamir later retracted their claim.
History of bitcoin
In fact, https://www.beaxy.com/ solves the issue of double-spending, a loophole in traditional digital cash that allows a user to spend the same amount of funds twice. Because Bitcoin is decentralized and community-driven, many upgrades to Bitcoin come in the form of formal proposals called Bitcoin Improvement Proposals, or BIPs. This ensures that the software is always undergoing upgrades that can further contribute to the community’s needs.
Many crypto enthusiasts and economists believe BTC that high-scale adoption of the top currency will lead us to a new modern financial world where transaction amounts will be denominated in smaller units. “A South Korean cryptocurrency exchange files for bankruptcy after hack, says users will get 75% of assets for now”. As the market valuation of the total stock of bitcoins approached US$1 billion, some commentators called bitcoin prices a bubble.
At Bitcoin price today in mid-September 2021, those pizzas would be worth an astonishing $478 million. This event is now known as “Bitcoin Pizza Day.” In July 2010, Bitcoin first started trading, with the Bitcoin price ranging from $0.0008 to $0.08 at that time. The value of bitcoin dropped on various exchanges between 11 and 20 percent following the regulation announcement, before rebounding upward again. Satoshis) to each of two different addresses on the network. Within hours, the transaction was spotted, the bug was fixed, and the blockchain was forked by miners using an updated version of the bitcoin protocol. Since the blockchain was forked below the problematic transaction, the transaction no longer appears in the blockchain used by the Bitcoin network today.

Anyone can propose a BIP, and the community will reject or approve of the BIP collectively. One major upgrade to ’s consensus protocol is the SegWit Upgrade, proposed in BIP 141 and designed to help the bitcoin scale to support more transactions to meet growing demand. BIPs like these change Bitcoin’s consensus rules, resulting in forks. Any data, text or other content on this page is provided as general market information and not as investment advice.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are like the email of the financial world. The currency doesn’t exist in a physical form, and the coin is transacted directly between the sender and the receiver without banking intermediaries to facilitate the transaction. Everything is done publicly through a transparent, immutable, distributed ledger technology called blockchain. In July 2011, the operator of Bitomat, the third-largest bitcoin exchange, announced that he had lost access to his wallet.dat file with about 17,000 bitcoins (roughly equivalent to US$220,000 at that time). He announced that he would sell the service for the missing amount, aiming to use funds from the sale to refund his customers.
In March, the bitcoin transaction log, called the blockchain, temporarily split into two independent chains with differing rules on how transactions were accepted. For six hours two bitcoin networks operated at the same time, each with its own version of the transaction history. The core developers called for a temporary halt to transactions, sparking a sharp sell-off.
Also, the academic journal Ledger published its first issue. In 1 bitcoin in usd 2015, the number of merchants accepting bitcoin exceeded 100,000. In July 2014, Newegg and Dell started accepting bitcoin. In September 2012, the Bitcoin Foundation was launched to “accelerate the global growth of bitcoin through standardization, protection, and promotion of the open source protocol”.
- Our currency rankings show that the most popular US Dollar exchange rate is the USD to USD rate.
- The people with the most bitcoins are more likely to be using it for illegal purposes, the survey suggested.
- The supply of bitcoin available to be mined is limited to a maximum 21,000,000 coins by software design.
Bitcoins can be stored in a bitcoin cryptocurrency wallet. Theft of bitcoin has been documented on numerous occasions. At other times, bitcoin exchanges have shut down, taking their clients’ bitcoins with them. A Wired study published April 2013 showed that 45 percent of bitcoin exchanges end up closing.

Love and Compassion: A promise that gone haywire
By Erlinda J Fronda, @lynfronda23, INN, Philippines;
“I love you so much… if it’s caught and be jailed. it’s alright as long as I am with you”. These were the words Hailey used to hear from Max from the day one they’ve been together. Everything seems perfect for the both of them. Their days were filled with happiness and enthusiasm to each other’s company. Beating their critics and detractors by defying the wishes of those concern because Max is a Muslim and married while Hailey is a Christian. And according to Wikipedia, all 4 schools of Sunni Law and Shia Law, interfaith marriages are condoned only between Muslim men and non- Muslim female for the people of the book (that is Christian and Jews) and Muslim men can marry more than once as long as he can deal justly with them, otherwise only one. Because of that knowledge, Hailey set those concerned friends all aside, shrugged her shoulder and followed her heart. I have the right to whom I choose to love and not to be dictated by anybody else, she said. Until one day, she was subdued by anguish and agony and all she knew was to cry herself and sleep.
It’s all started when Max failed to come back to her from a month – long work overseas. Because the company refused to return his passport to go back to Hailey to renew his residence id or “iqama”. Max was so devastated and became unpredictable that his fangs grew fast and ready to attack an infiltrator that comes his way. He showed callousness in his attitude and harshness in his words to her. Worst, he showed lack of interest in their relationship.
“It’s best for you if you just find another because I can’t go back there anymore”, he said. Hailey felt cold water being thrown on her face and without hesitation asked Max, why? What’s the matter with you, she asked. Max replied Hailey with a word that send a whirling sensation on her whole being. Hailey was stunned but then she regained her senses, opened her mind and deepened her understanding. She never thought of giving up, despite of what he’s showing towards her but instead, she tightened up her grip in him and to all his words when he was still with her. And as things happened against their will in an unexpected way, Max was greatly affected and Hailey was left alone, suffering in pain. “Oh God help us”, she whispers every time. And she was so scared because she felt she’s lost Max and one of these days he might be gone forever.
Max hailed from South Asia and Haley from the Far East, two different culture, traditions and beliefs and were bonded by love but were deprived from happiness to stay, be together again and lead a life that will make them one supposedly. They were deprived not because of the circumstances but because of somebody else’s interest who deceived others and robbed them from their rights to live a life they chose to and left them to hope against hope. Now, as they live apart, distanced by ocean, Hailey thought of those risky days when she and Max will meet outside of those hardships eluding and defying the law was never a hindrance to them, to be together at least even for a short moment. “Whatever happened to us, I will bring with me all the memories we have shared together wherever I go”, she told Max.
Now as Hailey lives on her own, she wonders why it all happened when she only wanted to be with someone she truly loved. She’s optimistic that this time, Max will now go after his previous love that went wrong and ended up miserably and it looked like that the same path is starting to form again. She is yearning to the old Max she once knew, a man with a profound serenity in his being that gives her the tranquility of mind to always start a new day. Every time Max showed his tantrum on their conversations on the phone, Hailey just smiled and realized her understanding in him avoiding to aggravate the situation and make Max angry. “I just cried in silence every time and screamed my lungs out” she said.
Hailey shows how deep is the pain and sorrow she’s enduring right now because of Max’s sudden changed of mind towards their relationship. Thus, the emotions that get set off when we’re feeling alone can be quite powerful, they can trigger dejection and depression and in extreme case loneliness which can lead to an early death, said Psychologist John Cacioppo, PhD, University of Chicago. However, as Hailey cried out her anxiety and depression, she may as well eliminate the extremity of loneliness she’s feeling. BY crying, we can activate hormones that have a calming effect and it also helps eliminate depressants causing sadness. And so, a woman’s sacrifices doesn’t start when the man she loves became aloof to her and her relationship fails but her true sacrifices lies within thyself.

Apple on Tuesday introduced its new iMac, the latest version of the consumer desktop computer that restored the company’s fortunes as a force in personal computing.
The latest model, unveiled by Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, at the Apple Expo in Paris, upgrades the iMac line to feature faster G5 processors currently used in Apple’s top-end Power Macs.
“It’s a much faster architecture,” said Schiller as he presented the new iMac, an all-in-one unit resembling a flat-panel monitor but with a processor and other components stashed behind the screen. CDs or DVDs load vertically into the side of the panel.”A lot of people are going to be asking where did the computer go?” Schiller said, joking: “It’s around here somewhere and I just can’t find it.”
The announcement ended days of fevered speculation about the launch, postponed from earlier this year because of inadequate supplies of the G5 processors made by IBM.Schiller said the iMac would begin shipping in mid-September. Priced at US$1,299 in the United States, or about euro1,400 in Europe including sales tax. The basic 17-inch model features 1.6 gigahertz with 256 megagytes of RAM and an 80GB hard drive.

The Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) in charge of joint browse and President Bernd Neuendorf from the German Football Association (DFB) are preparing a joint browse through to the nation before the World Cup in Qatar (November 21 to December 18).

Quadruplets a joyous handful for Syrian refugee mother
Walaa was shocked to learn she was expecting four daughters, but despite struggling to meet their needs she draws strength from her little 'miracles'.
Walaa Aldihni and her husband Ali Al Hassouni pose for a portrait with their ten-month-old quadruplets

Rocking a sleeping baby in the crook of her arm, Walaa uses one hand to feed formula milk to a second while preparing a bottle for a third with her free hand. Such agility has become second nature since giving birth to quadruplets 10 months ago, but she admits it was a shock when she first found out.
“The first echo showed only three,” said the 30-year-old refugee from Dara’a in southern Syria. “When I went back, they said they are quadruplets – there’s one more. I got a big surprise.”
Raising her four daughters – Ayat, Ghena, Sarah and Sali – is a huge challenge, especially as a refugee in Jordan struggling by on the meagre wages her husband Ali earns at a local car wash. Sometimes the parents skip meals to make sure they have enough money to buy food, clothes and diapers for the girls.
But even when things threaten to overwhelm her, Walaa says her daughters give her the strength to keep going. “It’s like a miracle. It’s something that’s rare,” she says, surrounded by her chubby girls in matching turquoise outfits. “It’s beautiful when I look at all four of them, especially when they are sleeping!”

It’s that time of year…tax season. When most of us think of tax season, we think of our individual and business tax returns since these are the most common tax forms.
Most of us do not think of the tax obligations relating to estates and lifetime gifts—but many of us should.
In 2024, the estate tax exemption per person is $13.61 million (or over $27 million for a married couple). This means an individual person can have $13.61 million in assets upon death without paying estate taxes.
Many of our clients are surviving widows or widowers who had trusts drafted when the estate tax exemption was significantly lower. For instance, the exemption was only $675,000 in 2001. As a result, many estate planning attorneys commonly drafted “A-B” Trusts for clients. When the first spouse passed away, the trust became split into two components—the Survivor’s Trust and the Decedent’s Trust. There may have then been a tax filing requirement for the Decedent’s Trust, depending on the circumstances.
Gift tax is related to estate tax and applies when a living person gifts cash or assets. In 2024, you can give away $18,000 to as many people as you would like without needing to file a gift tax return. If you gift over the $18,000 exclusion amount, then this additional amount will go toward your estate tax exemption of $13.61 million, and a gift tax return must be filed. As a result, estate tax and gift tax are considered a unified credit since you can either give away the exemption amount during life or after death.
You should speak with a tax advisor if you are considering making monetary gifts over $18,000. Similarly, you should speak with an estate planning attorney if you had your trust drafted over ten years ago to ensure the trust format still makes sense with a higher estate tax exemption.

Utilizing a digital images green screen is easy. These photographers usually have covers and lens cleaners that they’ll use to clear the lens of water droplets rapidly earlier than they’re able to take a photo. Many aspiring artists search for the very best photography faculties round. Many trend houses employ photographers.
Currently photographers have been complaining concerning the acceptance rate at Shutterstock. Photographers conceptualize and direct the shoots. Not solely does it intervene along with your “second” socially and artistically, but the flash can flatten out your digital images.
It’s the intuitive, alert mind and sharp eye that gives the photograph journalist the edge in choosing the visible image that can inform the news most successfully. Taking the perfect picture is what professional photographers do greatest and there are college lessons for that if others have an interest.
They’re primarily the domain of actually professional photographers and the screening process for photographer acceptance might be each tedious and time consuming. If a journal finds out that images they used are in a different magazine on the same time, they will not use your photography once more.
Step 1. Your first process is to collect data from relations concerning the kind of family reunion occasion they want to have. Getty has over eighty million images and illustrations and 50,000 hours of stock video footage and likewise owns microstock agency iStockPhoto.

On Friday, “Whistleblower” raises the curtain on the two Utahns who, yes, blew the whistle on the polygamous Kingston clan — and alleges that there are elements within the state government and/or law enforcement who are protecting what one accuser compares to “an organized crime family.”
The hourlong CBS News show (7 p.m. Friday, CBS-Channel 2) introduces viewers to Mary and Bryan Nelson. In 2013, Mary, born a member of the Kingston clan, escaped her family — and, she says, an arranged marriage to her first cousin — with Bryan’s help. She was 17; they married on her 18th birthday.
Mary Nelson is expected to be a witness when the Kingstons who ran the group’s Washakie Renewable Energy go on trial this summer in a half-billion-dollar fraud case.
According to Bryan Nelson, his wife was the first member of the Kingston clan who worked in the group’s banking office and escaped. “So she had seen all their financial transactions,” he said, claiming she has a “photographic memory.”
And some members of the Kingston clan “are participating in any type of fraud or scheme that you can think of,” Mary Nelson alleges; Bryan Nelson listed financial aid fraud, Medicaid fraud, food stamp fraud, tax fraud and more.
“I felt that I had to do something about it. I was going to take down The Order,” Bryan Nelson says. (The Kingstons are also known as the Davis County Cooperative Society or The Order.)
The big news that comes out of “Whistleblower” is that the Nelsons are the whistleblowers behind the federal fraud prosecution. It gives viewers background on the Kingstons; there are multiple clips of their leadership speaking to their congregations. But the focus is on their business.
“The Order is more than simply a polygamous Mormon splinter group,” host Alex Ferrer tells viewers. “It’s also a massive business empire. It owns huge swaths of real estate and over 100 companies, including pawnshops, hardware stores, motels, a casino, even this gun manufacturer.”
The gun manufacturer is Desert Tech; as Ferrer is speaking, viewers see video of a John’s Marketplace, a Sportsman’s Fast Cash, a True Value Hardware, the Spiking Tourist Lodge, and the Lake Elsinore Casino in California.
But the biggest piece of the fraud case is Washakie Renewable Energy, which allegedly defrauded the U.S. government out of more than $500 million in subsidies for falsely claiming it produced biofuel. And a former Washakie employee, Amanda Brown — who was not a member of the Kingston clan — goes on camera to say that she wrote to the Utah Attorney General’s office about the scam, but was ignored.
“The attorney general just dropped me at one point in time,” she says. “I couldn’t get anybody’s attention.”
The Nelsons’ lawyer, Mark W. Pugsley, tells viewers “the state government has tried” to prosecute the Kingstons, “but they have a lot of power in Salt Lake City.”
“So much power that The Order had been tipped off about the raid,” Ferrer intones.
That’s not news. In a 2016 court filing, prosecutors revealed that “multiple witnesses” said the group has “law enforcement contacts willing to provide them with information about ongoing covert investigations.” And the Kingstons removed and destroyed documents before the federal raid on a number of their properties in February 2016.
“Do you think that The Order has people in high positions in government, law enforcement, that can warn them when there’s some action going to be taken against them?” Ferrer asks Mary Nelson.
“They have always had that in the past,” she replies. “That’s how they’ve been able to get away with everything that they’re doing. And I’m pretty sure that they have that now.”
That message is going out to a national television audience on Friday.

I'm interested in creating firmware to mimic the Pro Controller. I've been using the serialusb proxy to capture dumps between the controller and the console, and it seems to work quite well. The switch detects the controller while it's being proxied and everything works as expected, all buttons work and motion/gyro controls work as well. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to handle requests from the switch and to return the proper response since i'm not experienced in LUFA. I'd be more than willing to help Matlo with adding switch controller support to GIMX, as i have a switch, a pro controller, and a working serialusb proxy.
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

In the North Seattle neighborhood of Meadowbrook, this property could be, according to the Seattle Historic Resources Survey, “the city’s best remaining structure from the small-scale dairy industry that flourished in many parts of Seattle until the 1950s.” The Lavilla Dairy building was originally built in 1929, and has been owned by the same family since 1937.
It hasn’t been a dairy for more than half a century—in the 1960s it was a Firestone Tires and, more recently, it’s been a store that sells window shutters—but the surrounding half-acre of land still has a pastoral feeling to it. It’s all surrounded by thick trees and Thornton Creek on a street without a sidewalk, making it feel much farther than a block off of Lake City Way.
It shares the property with a 1925 two-story Craftsman home with a gently sloping, gabled roof. An addition to the dairy building is currently home to the NE Seattle Tool Library.
10224-10228 Fischer Place NE is listed for $1.8 million through Keller Williams North Seattle.

Degenerative myelopathy is a slow, progressive spinal cord disorder of unknown cause that is most commonly seen in aging German shepherds and a few other large breed dogs such as Belgian shepherds, Rhodesian ridgeback, collies and Weimaraners. There is currently no cure for degenerative myelopathy. Most dogs slowly deteriorate over 6 to 12 months becoming progressively weaker and more uncoordinated in the rear legs.
The cause of the condition is unknown, although it is believed to be an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system begins to attack its own nerve cells. The age of onset is 5 to 14 years, with an average age of 9 years. Males are affected more than females.
Diagnosis and Treatment Notes:
- Degenerative myelopathy is generally diagnosed by a thorough history and physical examination including a neurologic exam. Sometime x-rays or a spinal tap are recommended.
- Treatment depends on the severity of the disease, your individual pet, and your veterinarian. There is no specific therapy for dogs with degenerative myelopathy. Some dogs can be helped with steroids, vitamins and other supplements. Discuss treatment details when your pet is diagnosed with this condition.
What to Watch for*:
- Difficulty rising
- Knuckling of the toes
- Loss of muscle in the rear legs
- Urinary and fecal incontinence
*Please notify us if you notice any of the above signs or if you have any questions!

Andrew Bailey, the governor of the Bank of England, said getting inflation down to the central bank's 2% target will be "hard work" as most of its recent fall was due to the unwinding of the jump in energy costs last year.
"The rest of it has to be done by policy and monetary policy," Bailey said in an interview with website ChronicleLive.
"And policy is operating in what I call a restrictive way at the moment - it is restricting the economy. The second half, from there to two, is hard work and obviously we don't want to see any more damage." (Writing by Sarah Young Editing by William Schomberg)

One of the most popular names in Challenge history is making their way back to the small screen come Season 35. The Challenge Vevmo page is reporting a major spoiler that none other than Tori Hall will be back competing on the hit reality series after a nine-year break. Many know Tori as the former wife of Challenge legend Brad Fiorenza. Tori is even more well-known for taking home the title in two out of her three Challenge appearances.
Tori nabbed the first place spot in Season 15 (Gauntlet III) and Season 20 (Cutthroat). The mother of two also appeared in Season 17 (Duel II) but lost just before the final in Episode 10 after being eliminated by Anessa Ferreira. Tori was on the rookie team in The Gauntlet III and ultimately defeated Brad, who was on the veteran team. Alongside Frank Roessler, Jillian Zoboroski, Johanna Botta, Nehemiah Clark, and Rachel Moyal, Tori and her team dominated the veterans, earning them $300,000.
Three separate teams battled it out in Cutthroat, with Tori and Brad both on the Red Team. The couple won along with Challenge veterans Dunbar Merrill and Tyler Duckworth. This victory earned their team $300,000, but now Tori is returning in a time when the paychecks are much bigger. There have been many seasons since she seemingly retired that there has been one winner for an entire season, with several million-dollar prizes as well.Brad will not be back on Season 35 of The Challenge, with his last appearance being on Final Reckoning. Much of Brad's storyline surrounding his last two Challenge appearances was his relationship with Britni Thornton. The couple split shortly after Final Reckoning and neither has been back to film since. While fans would probably love to have Brad and Tori on the same Challenge, it's highly unlikely considering the duo didn't have the most amicable divorce and took some of their issues to social media.
After a nine-year break from the show, Tori will be walking into a cast of very unfamiliar faces. Out of 27 other competitors, Tori has only appeared on previous seasons with veterans Johnny Bananas, Chris "CT" Tamburello, and Aneesa. Most of the Season 35 cast are from the last five to six seasons, with a healthy dose of rookies as well. Tori will have to work hard at the social game, especially since newer seasons of the show have gotten much harder in physical difficulty.
The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 is currently airing on MTV every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET.

Once again, the Republican Party is trying to rewrite black history….GOP congressional candidate Ian Bayne went there. He compared ‘Duck Dynasty’ patriarch Phil Robertson to civil rights icon Rosa Parks.
Huffington Post: “In December 1955, Rosa Parks took a stand against an unjust societal persecution of black people, and in December 2013, Robertson took a stand against persecution of Christians,” Bayne said in an email to supporters. “What Parks did was courageous,” he added. “What Mr. Robertson did was courageous too.”
Really? Rosa Parks never denigrated gays and blacks. She fought against a system that treated blacks as unequal and worth nothing. Sorry, but comparing Phil Robertson to Rosa Parks is an insult to her name and legacy.

“Cornithaca County” is a fictitious name for a real future. The first part of this book will contain stories, games, jokes, and activities that dissect the actions and intent of elitist policy making in the county. The second part will document actual incidents and issues that raise questions about the conduct of those who have been entrusted with the welfare of the public at large. At the end of the book, I will present a powerful circumstantial case — and a chilling denouement.
My bio should to start here:
“Early Sunday morning, June 4, 2017, I was sicker than I had ever been before. Too sick to even bend over, as I vomited all over the toilet, myself, and the bathroom floor — and I didn’t even care.”
This was the aftermath of being engulfed in a cloud of Roundup from a giant agricultural sprayer while I was mowing my lawn the previous afternoon.
The incident motivated me to write “You Know You Live near a Factory Farm When Your Kids Go Fishing with a Pool Skimmer” — a picture book with large print and cautionary captions. “Family Farm Fun” is the second book in the Factory Farm series.
At this same time I grew increasingly aware of the treatment that the rural community in the town was receiving, and began my blog on elitist policy making: Rural Tompkins County — The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Credentials.
As for right now, what should I do next?
I think I’ll go to my favorite pub. Maybe there’s someone there who hasn’t heard my story.
My brother says, “Good luck with that!”
In the 1960’s Liberals were constantly using the adverb “absolutely” in defining the rights and freedoms of citizens. They realized that there can be no protection from rights and freedoms that have been compromised. Today’s New Religion politicians have come 180 degrees from that belief, and work to destroy anything that can obstruct the spread of their controlling secular doctrine. Their “rights” and “entitlements” are gifts with no responsibilities attached, but there is an expiration date — the day they take control.

text: Joel Wilde, an ex-Marine turned security specialist, is asked by one of his Marine buddies to guard his sister Lora because he is afraid that people he owes money to are going to hurt her. Joel agrees to keep his mission secret, and with a history of uncommitted relationships, decides in advance to keep things with Lora strictly professional. But after some men attack her, Joel is forced to tell her the truth, and being alone together in a remote cabin does not exactly lead to "strictly professional" behavior. The sex is hot and frequent, with no love declarations made, even though they are increasingly felt. A secondary story line involves Lora's friend, a single mother who falls for her daughter's math teacher. Denison sensitively pairs men with commitment phobias and women willing to wait, creating a good read with sensual sex scenes. Happily, a sequel in the works. Chelton, Mary K.

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1869.
In pursuance of the provisions of the Constitution and Laws of the State of Vermont, the members of the House of Representatives convened in the State House, in Montpelier, on the second Thursday, being the fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine.
At ten o'clock in the forenoon, the Hon. George Nichols, Secretary of State, called the House to order, when
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Richard H. Morgan of Northfield.
The names of the members who had presented their credentials were called, whereupon it appeared that the following named members were present, who were duly sworn, and took their seats, to wit:

Last Friday night, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was attempting to mind her own business and have dinner in a small restaurant in Lexington, VA. Some of the waitstaff recognized her. They called the manager asking “what they should do?” The obvious answer–“serve them their meal”–was not on the menu. There was a vote of the politburo and the manager asked Sanders and her party to leave.
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so
— Kayleigh McEnany (@PressSec) June 23, 2018
Since then there has been a lot of abject stupidity on the subject. Like the profoundly unintelligent Ana Navarro:
Some who defend baker’s right to refuse service to gay couples, whine re ppl refusing service to a person who’s the face of a deceitful Administration. What’s good for the goose, is good for the Red Hen. Difference is, being gay is not a choice. Being an accomplice to Trump, is.
— Ana Navarro-Cárdenas (@ananavarro) June 24, 2018
And there were a lot of folks on the left upset that Sanders mentioned the incident because it is off-limits for people in the Trump administration to complain or something.
The story of Sanders being asked to leave the restaurant was in the public domain prior to her tweet.
The idea that the press secretary for the president is abusing governmental authority by confirming a news story she's involved in (again, *press secretary*) is…bizarre. https://t.co/Sis4SF7xyn
— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) June 25, 2018
And President Trump had to get involved:
The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018
(FACT CHECK: it seems to be true)
But there was a twist to the story that Sarah Sanders didn’t talk about but that her father, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, let slip out today on Laura Ingraham’s radio show.
Yes, if Huckabee isn’t just making this up, then the restaurant owner didn’t stop at just not serving Sanders. She followed the party to their next dining location and organized a protest outside the restaurant.
If you recall, back in the early months of the Trump administration there were quite a few people, some here at this site, cheering the “punch a Nazi” nonsense that was circulating after Richard Spencer was sucker-punched at an impromptu rally on Trump’s inauguration day. In March, Michael Savage was sucker-punched while leaving a restaurant in California. At that time I wrote:
A lot of folks were yukking it up when alt-right intellectual spirit chieftain Richard Spencer got sucker punched while speaking to the media the day of Trump’s inauguration. At some point, it seems, it became okay to physically assault people simply because you don’t like what they are saying. I didn’t get the memo so I wasn’t one of them. (As an aside, what Spencer was yakking about was nothing more exceptional than you’d find at any Nation of Islam gathering but no one is going to punch that guy selling Brother Howard’s Bean Pies from the median strip because he, unlike Spencer, is probably going to kick your ass.) Cheering this kind of behavior, no matter how good it might make you feel, is dangerous because in the mind of the guy (and people like him) who punched Spencer there is absolutely no difference between Richard Spencer and Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz and you and me. You don’t have to defend what Spencer is saying but commonsense and enlightened self -interest demands that you oppose what happened.
And this is exactly where we are going. It doesn’t make any difference to these people who you are. Right now supporting immigration laws as passed by Congress is enough to get you mobbed.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) June 25, 2018
Already we’ve seen Steve Scalise seriously wounded by a Bernie Sanders supporter reacting to standard Democrat propaganda. It was only through luck and the courage of a couple of Capitol Police officers that more weren’t killed or injured. It is just a matter of time until some functionary of the administration or of the GOP caucus in Congress is the victim of mob violence. This has stopped being something done by hipster douchebags wearing ski masks and is now so normalized that it is something that perimenopausal restaurant owners think it proper. Thus far, they have only targeted women for harassment, probably out of a misogynistic calculation that women are less likely to retaliate. But, as the Twitter cheers get louder, it is just a matter of time before they miscalculate, either singly or as a group, and they discover that there are people out there who will fight back.


Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham has urged the Government to give substance to its levelling up rhetoric as a new report highlighted the North-South divide
The Mayor's call came in response to the IPPR North’s ‘State of the North’ report, which was published today.
Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said: “This report recognises that plans for levelling up the North still lack substance. It’s over two years since this Government was elected on a promise to rebalance the economy, but the North-South divide continues to widen.
“If the Government truly wants to rebalance the country, it should let go of some of its power and trust local and regional bodies to deliver for their communities. The Integrated Rail Plan was the latest example of the Government failing to deliver on its promises and ignoring local leaders.
“People in Greater Manchester deserve the same quality of infrastructure and services as people in the South. That’s why we continue to call on Minsters to back our plans for a London-style transport system with London-level fares.
“We want the North to become a more prosperous place for everyone living here, powering the transition net zero, with good employment available to all. We have the plans and ambitions to level up but we need Government to back us with the powers and funding to reach our full potential.”

REPRINT: New cover, same content.
Quality bread – alongside its appropriate starter and proofing time – is the real protagonist of this book, whose main objective is to help understand the different aspects to bear in mind regarding the selection of flours, the ferments, the kneading, forming and baking processes of bread, as well as to detail, in a clear way, how to prepare a large number of specialties.
A varied, exhaustive catalog.
First published in 2014, True Bread is divided into a very extensive introduction in which the main ingredients of bread are studied and another part devoted to the basic preparation stages, particularly focusing on the different types of sourdough starters and natural leavening agents. The chapter on breads is the most ambitious, and displays a large number of step-by-step preparations which range from classic breads, such as Galician bread, baguette or peasant’s bread, to those which belong to a new generation of particularly healthy ones, such as organic, spelt, tritordeum or Kamut bread. Italian specialties play a special role in this book, and are a reflection of the experience which the author himself gained in that country. Focaccia, ciabatta Bolognese, pane all’oglio and even panettone are fully explained in the pages of this book, with step-by-step photographs which will surely help reveal their own essence.
Enriched doughs, such as those of croissant, ensaïmada or brioche, complete the wide range of recipes, altogether making up more than 40 different creations (25 bread and 15 enriched dough recipes). The book also contains a didactic section devoted to the preparation of bread without professional equipment. Finally, the book is complemented by a group of videos which will help understand in detail the forming, scoring and marking techniques which characterize each dough contained in it.

MERJE identifies a Director of Risk & Compliance for Thriving Investments, an ambitious real estate fund management business
At a Glance
The Benefits of MERJE
Thriving Investments is a growing real estate fund management firm which is striving to be the most socially responsible asset management business in the housing sector.
At a pivotal point in the organisation’s journey, when it had reached the scale at which it needed a dedicated person to manage the FCA regulation and establish an adept risk management function, the MERJE team were delighted to extend our existing partnership to support in the search for this critical role.
Thriving Investments believes that responsible and carefully managed capital investment not only protects each fund’s portfolio, but further generates value, which ultimately helps to foster sustainable communities.
With this in mind, it was vital that the appointed Director of Risk & Compliance had the breadth of experience to be able to not only build the risk management function from scratch, but embed the “Responsible Investment” risk culture across every level of the business.
With Thriving Investments being a newer and boutique organisation, the personality and cultural fit of the candidate was also vitally important.
The firm operates in the relatively specialist Property Funds market and was focused heavily on London-based options, meaning a limited candidate pool.
Thriving Investments also had fairly urgent timescales for this appointment, making the search a high priority.
MERJE has provided hiring solutions to Places for People (the group that Thriving Investments is a part of) for a number of years and as such, we were recommended by group members to support on the Director of Risk & Compliance project.
Our team has decades of expertise across the Private Equity / Funds arena, with networks spanning the whole of the UK and consultants who specialise in London specifically, meaning we were well placed to deliver candidates matching the stringent experience and location criteria.
We conducted a highly targeted search, covering all key Property Funds businesses in London, keeping in mind that people with backgrounds mainly in the big corporates may not thrive in the start-up environment.
Time to Hire
CV to Interview Ratio
Having a strong and experienced team allowed us to dedicate sufficient resource to work effectively to the short timescales.
Five highly suitable candidates were introduced within the first two weeks
All five candidates went through a three-stage interview process over a two-week period
Two of the five individuals stood out and were considered at offer stage
Ultimately, one candidate was offered the role and accepted quickly, meaning the process was wrapped up smoothly just a few days after the offer was extended and well within the original timescales requested.
"MERJE were really good at understanding our needs and have a good network to draw from. Their relaxed and informal approach also really suited me."
Finance & Investment Director
"It’s a testament to our truly specialist expertise that we were able to deliver on this critical role in such a short time frame. We’ve worked hard to cement ourselves as industry specialists and are delighted to be able to fulfil projects like this so clients can achieve their long-term goals."

The conflict in South Sudan has now displaced over 4 million people and is the longest standing in the history of Africa. With two thirds of the country’s population under 24, instilling values in young people is important to the country’s future, says Lual Mayen, a South Sudanese entrepreneur and refugee.
“When you go to South Sudan, most children are born in war, so their mindset is war,” he said, sitting and sipping coffee less than a mile from the White House. It wasn’t long ago that the refugee ban had stopped him from entering the U.S., even though he wasn’t from one of the banned countries—now he had a stable job in the nation’s capital and was running his own game studio.
An accomplished professional before he reached the U.S., Lual funded his siblings’ educations in Uganda by selling software to schools. He also ran an information technology company in South Sudan while earning a computer engineering degree across the border in Uganda. Now, he runs Junub Games, a company composed of Lual and refugee volunteers who distribute his games at refugee camps. He wants to give back now that he’s “made it,” by giving refugees more inspiring experiences through his work.
His parents fled South Sudan in 1993 when conflict flared between the Nuer and the Dinka. While on their way to Uganda, they gave birth to Lual. He spent much of his early life in the resettlement area, Mungula, that his family ended up in. From early on, Lual’s family knew he was creative. As a young boy, he built a fake television that family and friends would gather around while he told stories with handmade characters. Occasionally, he’d get the chance to play video games. Lual would get lost in the worlds that let him do anything he wanted to, and he knew he wanted to try making them some day.
Lual attended a JRS-run school at Mungula. He wasn’t a great student at first. “We would go play soccer the whole day,” he said. “But my mom would be hard on me, [saying] ‘you have to go to school, you have to study.’” JRS-sponsored activities like academic debates were the sorts of activities that kept him active and engaged, and the food and clothing provided helped him live a more comfortable life both at school and home. “For me, I feel like JRS has really done its part,” he said. Unfortunately, Mungula provided only some escape from the conflict. “A lot of people were actually killed,” he said. Schoolchildren, in their bright yellow shirts, would have to hide in foxholes to avoid being spotted by roaming helicopters targeting civilians.
In 2005, his family left for Imvepi Refugee Settlement. His parents kept pressuring him to excel academically, and with time, he developed a love for learning. He asked his mother to buy him a computer. She worked sewing bed sheets for two years to save up the money, and once she bought it, he set to work learning new skills. He trained himself in graphics and design, creating documents for people in the settlement.
Then, in 2009, he was sent off to a secondary school. Not everyone there was supportive of his hobby, but he persisted, sneaking his computer into the school and taking lessons in programming at night. “They wanted actually to suspend me from school because I sneak the computer inside, but I told them ‘no, I love the computer.’” When he would be caught using it, some teachers would hit him or tell him he had no future. “They tried their level best to discourage me, but I didn’t give up.” He borrowed money from his mother to charge it.
Shortly after starting a software engineering program at a Ugandan university, he started a company in South Sudan and started to commute back and forth, working some weekends to pay for school. “I was like the only software developer in the country,” he said. When the war heated up once again in 2016, Lual was living in Juba and had to flee to Uganda again. He’d had enough. “I was like, ‘you know, our country is one of the blessed countries in the world. We have the energy, the capacity to build,” he said. “After the independence in 2011, [Juba] was the fastest growing city in Africa.
He wanted to do something to help change the future—after some thinking, he decided to pursue his passion and do good at the same time. He built a game, but it wasn’t like the violent ones he played when he was younger. “Instead of killing people, you have to make sure you save people,” he said. The game, Salaam (“peace” in Arabic), made waves in the humanitarian and gaming communities. By giving the children something to focus their free time on, Lual aims keep them out of trouble. “Video games are a vital way to connect with people,” he said. Instead of spending their time out of school unsupervised, planned activities like games lead to socialization and play—two things wanting in the lives of many refugees.
He was invited to speak at events, first in South Africa and then at a massive games industry conference in San Francisco in 2017. “I was real excited about it,” he said. Unfortunately, U.S. Customs included him under the refugee ban. Customs couldn’t distinguish between Sudan and South Sudan. Then came his big break: a startup incubator focused on peace building invited him to the U.S. to participate in their program. While there, he landed a job in Washington, D.C. and is now working on securing a visa, while doing what he can to work on games in his spare time.
Card games are popular in South Sudanese communities. Lual is working on his studio’s second game now, Wahda (“Unity” in Arabic), in which you use and collect different kinds of cards. Normal cards are items like “love,” “unity,” or “food.” Then, there are action cards like “war” that you have to use your item cards to neutralize. “In a game, you might have a scenario or a scene where someone is going to kill people,” Lual explained. “You have to use your energy to save those people from being killed.”
The game’s themes naturally lead to important conversations for children displaced or affected by war. “If I play a card of “slavery,” what do you know about slavery? It’s a sort of learning. Most of the refugees, they don’t know someone like Oprah Winfrey exists, someone like Obama exists… They don’t have those inspirations, they don’t have a path,” he said. When you think differently, it doesn’t matter where you come from,” he said. “You can definitely make an impact from where you are.”
Lual’s ambitions are high as he looks toward the future. He wants to open the world’s largest peace building-focused game studio. But for now, he wants to keep his focus on the needs of the young displaced people his games serve. “I want to use my platform to give back to them.”
Lual Mayen was recently profiled in the Washington Post.

By Staff Writer Shuhan Jin
After two years since her Grammy-winning album, SOUR, singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo made her long-awaited return to music with the release of her second studio album, GUTS. Released on September 8, the album presents a combination of raging anthems and soul-searching ballads that unravel the chaos and suspense of young adulthood, relationships, and fame. Following the award-winning pieces of her first album SOUR, Rodrigo attempts to one-up the previous album with the songs that make up GUTS.
Rodrigo first rose to fame for her singing-songwriting in 2021 with her single “drivers license”, which was then followed by her Grammy-winning album SOUR. In many ways, GUTS follows in the footsteps of SOUR — While SOUR highlights the emotions of a teenage girl, GUTS builds on Rodrigo’s frustration and anger during the confusing years as a young adult, filled with troubled relationships, societal pressures in body image, and female rage. As the title suggests, Rodrigo has the “guts” to open up about these problematic societal issues. In her song “pretty isn’t pretty”, she shares the ways she (and many girls) has desperately tried to reach unattainable beauty standards, singing, “Bought a bunch of makeup, tryna cover up my face / I started to skip lunch, stopped eatin’ cake on birthdays”. This song was very similar to her cliche style of melancholy songs featured in her previous album as well.
As the album continues, the latter part of GUTS centers around heartbreak. Rodrigo plays with the juxtaposition between the characteristics of both female rage in societal pressures and the ache of losing a relationship, which is evident through the clear contrast between her uproarious and melancholy songs. For example, while the songs “bad idea right?” and “logical” are both about her relationship with a toxic ex-boyfriend, “bad idea right?” is filled with grungy, hard-hitting pop beats while “logical” is a more classic representation of Rodrigo’s soft, soulful ballads.
Sonically, the growth in Rodrigo’s musical style is clear — not only has she created yet another album with many enjoyable and relatable songs, but has also delved into a new upbeat, pop-punk style compared to her past music. However, despite all of this, many of her songs appear to be repetitive or even lack creative qualities. For example, “the grudge”, “teenage dream”, and even her popular single, “vampire”, all seem to be generic breakup songs that fail to have any unique aspects to them. Other songs such as “get him back!” and “bad idea right?” have lackluster qualities to them. For example, each of these songs begin with a large section of sprechgesang, a style of talking-singing in songs, which defeats the purpose of her talented voice.
Overall, despite the room for improvement, Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album GUTS is still undeniably enjoyable, and her new take on hard-hitting punk is a pleasant surprise for all. Rodrigo has once again successfully curated an album that is emotionally connecting to her listeners.
Overall Rating: A- (9.1/10)
