A MALE grooming salon has made a phoenix from the ashes style comeback.
After being destroyed in an explosion which was started by arsonists earlier this year, owners of Mustang male grooming, on Pendle View, off Pendle Drive, Netherton, Julie Hart and Jeanette Humphrey thought they would never see the day when their salon would reopen - especially after recovering only a fraction of the amount of insurance they thought they would get.
In June, after being open for only four days a fire at a next door hairdressers spread to the Mustang salon and caused destroyed the salon.
It was suggested a petrol bomb was used to start the blaze and the fire was so extreme it caused a ‘flashback’ explosion, where gasses build up to such an extent they ignite.
The building was condemned and Julie and Jeanette were left with a long struggle to get their business open again.
But they finally re-opened last week.
Janette, 35, from Thornton, said: “The re-opening has been wonderful. Loads of nearby residents have been in and we have had a couple of bookings for wet shaves, facials, massages, waxing, hot stone washes, hair trims. It’s gone really well.”
She added: “We have someone who specialises here in sports therapy, reflexology and hypnotherapy.”
Julie, 26, from Maghull, said: “We have been really busy. Loads of kids have been in because of half term and the local council workers have been in with cards which was really nice. There has been a real sense of community. We are over the moon. The reaction from people has been really positive.”

FIRE crews spent hours tackling a blaze at a derelict factory in Beswick.
Cambrian Street was still closed this morning as fire crews were dampening down the building.
More than 15 firefighters from Philips Park fire station were called to the Old Hall and Rogers factory at around 3.50am.
Crews tackled the fire in the single storey building which is thought to have been started deliberately.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Hudson Valley food writer Julia Turshen roasts and stir-fries eggplant, and matches it with pork.
If you don’t know what to do with eggplant but admire its dark and gleaming good looks, consider this dish from the cookbook Now and Again: Go-To Recipes, Inspired Menus and Endless Ideas for Reinventing Leftovers (Chronicle Books/Raincoast, $50), by Julia Turshen. Paired with a tossed green salad, it would make a relaxed meal. “I am all about what goes with what,” Turshen writes in the book, which offers more than 150 recipes and 20 suggested menus.
The veteran Hudson Valley food writer’s original plan was to write an entire book about leftovers. She finds them handy for making a new meal: “You’re already halfway there!” Realizing people regularly asked what they should serve with her recipes, she turned to producing a seasonal cookbook featuring foods that complement each other, and added pages of ideas for enjoying leftovers. For example: mashed cauliflower makes a soup, to top with fried croutons; beet salad can be puréed to make a dip; leftover cooked rice can be mixed with feta cheese and chopped herbs and used to stuff bell peppers.
In this comfort-food recipe, Turshen livens up eggplant by stir-frying it in cubes, browning ground pork, and seasoning with ginger and soy sauce. She suggests using ground turkey or chicken as an alternative to pork.
Stir-Fried Roasted Eggplant With Pork
6 tablespoons (90 mL) olive oil
2 teaspoons (10 mL) kosher or coarse salt
3 1/2 pounds (1.75 kg) eggplant (about 2 large), in 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes
2 tablespoons (30 mL) canola or other neutral-tasting oil
1 pound (500 g) ground pork
1/4 cup (60 mL) peeled, minced or grated fresh ginger root
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon (15 mL) soy sauce
1/4 cup (60 mL) chicken stock or water
Place a rack in the centre of the oven and a second rack in the top third and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 C).
Drizzle two sheet pans with the olive oil and sprinkle each pan with 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) salt. Spread cubed eggplant in a single layer on the two pans, using your hands to mix ingredients together. Roast uncovered in preheated oven, stirring twice and switching pans between the upper and lower racks, until eggplant is softened and browned, about 35 minutes. Set eggplant aside.
Place a large, heavy frying pan over high heat and heat canola oil. When the oil is hot, crumble the pork into the pan and sprinkle it with the remaining 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt. Cook pork, stirring occasionally, until it loses its pink colour, releases liquid and begins to brown, about five minutes.
Add ginger and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated and the pork is browned and a little bit crisp, about five more minutes.
Add roasted eggplant and drizzle with the soy sauce and chicken stock. Cook, stirring, just until everything is nicely combined and most of the liquid has evaporated, about two minutes. Serve at once.

Radware: Understanding Supply Chain Attacks and Client Side Protection
The innovative cafés and bars offering coffee in exchange for crypto
Despite the persistent rumours, Starbucks will not be accepting bitcoin payments just yet. Meanwhile on the independent coffee shop scene, a collective of innovative cafés are committed to championing cryptocurrencies.
On Friday, Starbucks announced an unlikely partnership with tech giant Microsoft, BCG, and the Intercontinental Exchange. The group will found Bakkt, a company that intends to “create an integrated platform that enables consumers and institutions to buy, sell, store and spend digital assets on a seamless global network.”
“As the flagship retailer, Starbucks will play a pivotal role in developing practical, trusted and regulated applications for consumers to convert their digital assets into US dollars for use at Starbucks,” Maria Smith, Vice President, Partnerships and Payments for Starbucks, commented. The statement sparked a wave of speculation that suggested the coffee giant would soon be offering a bitcoin payment service in store.
A Starbucks spokesperson clarified that they are simply developing a platform that “will convert digital assets like bitcoin into US dollars, which can be used at Starbucks.” They added “it is important to clarify that we are not accepting digital assets at Starbucks. Rather the exchange will convert.”
“At the current time, we are announcing the launch of trading and conversion of bitcoin. However, we will continue to talk with customers and regulators as the space evolves.” They added that “customers will not be able to pay for Frappuccinos with bitcoin.”
The world's largest coffee chain remains hesitant to fully commit to crypto. At the same time, a group of independent cafés have based their entire business model on blockchain powered currencies.
Paralelní Polis's Bitcoin Coffee is situated in the bustling suburb of Holešovice, and was founded by the ethical hacker collective Ztohoven. The only form of payment accepted is bitcoin, but cash can be exchanged in the converter machine, placed onto an app, or loaded onto an exclusive plastic card.
The first Singapore cryptocurrency coffee shop launched back in December last year, and accepts bitcoin, its own virtual currency called Ducatus, and other cashless alternatives. Ronny Tome, Ducatus CEO, explained “we just want to make sure people understand that cryptocurrencies are here to stay,” and said he had plans to open more cafés around the world.
One of London's first crypto cafés is the Old Shoreditch Station in East London's hipster hub Shoreditch. Since 2013, the innovative café has offered coffee and food in exchange for bitcoin - as well as one of the longest established bitcoin ATMs in London.
Based in the heart of Ireland's capital, the Crypto Café accepts payments in litecoin and ethereum rather than euros. Patrons can pay using a smartphone-enabled crypto wallet, but of course the cost of cappuccinos fluctuate regularly.
Dubbed ‘blockchain island' as a result of its crypto-friendly legislation, Malta now boasts its very own bitcoin bar - Cocohub in Birgu. Guests can use their bitcoin wallets to purchase drinks or engage in a panel discussion with crypto-experts.

Tapping into technology for development
Director, Policy and Learning
Fifteen years ago I co-wrote a report, Telecommunications, Development and the Market, followed shortly afterwards by another entitled The Internet and Poverty both of them published by the Panos Institute. Thirteen years before that, in 1984, a British civil servant, Sir Donald Maitland, chaired a landmark Commission for Worldwide Telecommunication Development.
How best to work with new technologies to advance development is no new discussion. All of the signs, though, are that this issue is moving at last from the periphery of development strategy towards the heart of it.
The UK's Department for International Development (DFID) and Omidyar Network will host the Open Up! conference on the use of technology and development in London's 'Tech City' on Tuesday 13 November 2012. I will talk at a linked meeting at DFID on Wednesday exploring digital development partly about how organisations like ourselves use new technologies and partly - based on sometimes painful experience - how development organisations succeed and fail in integrating communication technologies into their programming.
For BBC Media Action, an organisation traditionally associated with old media, new media is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of BBC Media Action’s work in the developing world.
Take Sema Kenya (Kenya Speaks) - a TV and radio debate show conducted in Kiswahili - which brings Kenyans face to face with their elected political leaders, very often for the first time. In the run up to the March 2013 general elections in Kenya, the show is travelling the country to areas often overlooked by the media. For viewers who can't participate on location, social media is now facilitating dialogue with those in power and holding them to account.
Last weekend, for example, Sema Kenya was broadcast live from Naivasha, a market town in the Rift Valley province north west of Nairobi. The show opened with moderator Joseph Warungu addressing the local MP for Naivasha, the Honourable John Mututho, as follows:
"We have a question that was asked via our Facebook page by George Otieno Opiyo. He says that Kenyans were affected by the 2007 post-election violence and that Naivasha was the centre of this violence, so what are the leaders and the residents doing so that this does not happen again?"
George is a security guard who couldn't attend the debate in person that day. While the MP responded to George's question with assurances about local efforts at reconciliation and security, he was challenged by members of the studio audience, who claimed that they had not seen him in the area since his election.
The conversation continued on Twitter and Facebook, with one comment claiming that in Naivasha "…displaced persons have been denied their rights and many others are still affected to date" and another saying of Mr Mututho and his constituents, "Thanks to BBC's Sema Kenya they've met one on one".
Sema Kenya's format is being replicated by BBC Media Action across the developing world. Aswat min Filasteen (Voices from Palestine), for example, is visiting cities and towns across the West Bank to debate the political, economic and social issues affecting Palestinians today. Not only are these debates driven by questions posted on the show’s social media sites, but online platforms have in turn thrown these issues open to Palestinians in Gaza, people across the Arab world and the Middle Eastern diaspora in Europe more broadly.
It's not only in the area of governance where new technology has been harnessed to address development challenges. A 2012 BBC Media Action policy briefing – Still Left in the Dark? PDF (3.56MB) – examined the role that social media and new technology play in disaster relief, and found that these tools are being widely used to devise smart, localised responses to crisis.
We are also discovering new ways to change lives using communications technology in the health field.
Our colleagues in India have pioneered a way to use inexpensive, basic mobile handsets to train hundreds of thousands of community health workers in delivering life-saving maternal and child health information to millions of rural families in the northern state of Bihar.
BBC Media Action has always used radio and television to reach millions of marginalised people with the information they need to change their own lives. Innovation is being driven by dozens of organisations working in the development field and I'm looking forward to learning from them, but determined too that a fairly large and traditional organisation can remain at the forefront of innovation ourselves.

California officially becomes the first state to require Ethnic Studies for high school graduation. Governor Newsom previously declined to sign Ethnic Studies legislation, but last week he signed the legislation by Assemblymember Jose Medina of Riverside. This bill has been a long time in the making and was also previously vetoed by former Governor Jerry Brown in 2018.
The Ethnic Studies graduation requirement will be required for the class of 2029 but will be offered beginning in the school year 2025. The delay will allow for the curriculum to be developed and approved for implementation in 2025.
Last week, Newsom’s office pointed to research from Stanford University that shows Ethnic Studies “help expand educational opportunities in schools, teach students about the diverse communities that comprise California, and boost academic engagement and attainment.”

The essay below appeared in the July 20, 2010 edition of The Chronicle of Philanthropy. After you've read it, let me know what you think.
The Gates-Buffett Giving Pledge Won’t Do Much Good Unless It Changes Philanthropy
By Pablo Eisenberg
Most of the nonprofit world seems to be agog over the news that Bill and Melinda Gates, along with their friend Warren Buffett, are joining together to ask fellow billionaires to sign a pledge to give at least one-half of their fortunes to charity.
That could lead to an enormous increase in the amount of money available to nonprofit organizations. Fortune magazine estimates that if the people on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans all made the pledge, an additional $600-billion could flow to nonprofit groups—twice the amount Americans gave last year.
When will this money be distributed to charities? Mr. Buffett has said that he plans to give away 99 percent of his fortune while he is alive or at his death, and he has made clear in his gifts to the Gates Foundation that he wants the money to be distributed quickly rather than left to sit in the foundation’s coffers. But will other donors do the same, or will they put their money into foundations that give only a small percentage of their assets every year?
Who will provide the leadership to increase the quality of philanthropy, not just the amount of money given? So much of the giving wealthy donors and foundations now do is lackluster and does not involve risk taking or innovation. Nor does it seek to solve urgent public needs. Will the new pledges mean more of the same?
What steps will be taken to ensure public accountability? Will the funds that are steered into new or existing foundations follow the Gateses’ approach, namely grant-making institutions governed by a very few family members that, in a real sense, are not really publicly accountable? Do we want an explosion of these tax-exempt oligarchic entities with huge assets that can help set public priorities without public discussion or a political process? Would this be a healthy development for democracy? If not, what can be done to mitigate the potential undemocratic nature of these new mega-foundations?
Perhaps the most troubling issues posed by the Gates-Buffett crusade is its potential to intensify the inequities that exist both in the nonprofit world and in the rest of society.
Foundations, corporations, and other forms of institutional philanthropy tend to favor the nation’s most-privileged citizens and neglect the neediest people and organizations. An outsize share of the money from those institutions goes to established colleges, hospitals, and arts and cultural organizations. Only a small amount finds its way to organizations that serve vulnerable children, low-income people, minorities, women, the disabled, and other disadvantaged constituencies. A tiny portion of philanthropic money is channeled to groups that seek to influence public policies.

The concept of cultural competency comes up often when referring to an educational process of informing people how to function in their profession with a higher level of compassion for all people, mainly people of color, and those with diverse religious backgrounds. Essentially, this programming is one of countless approaches designed to educate and inform on the penetrating subject of systemic racism and inherent biases within our systems that were established on a historic foundation of white supremacy. Cultural competency education matters. Its intention is to empower and encourage positive ripple effects toward change that embraces a multicultural inclusive society.
New knowledge brings new responsibility. Although we did not create the circumstances we inherited, eradicating racism falls on all our shoulders. We must push our elected officials to do more to redesign 21st century systems based on obsolete segregationist policies and practices. We must encourage and support equality where it doesn’t exist and remember: Sometimes systems need to be dismantled before they can be rebuilt.
With a hopelessly divided Congress, bipartisanship seems improbable. This wasn’t always the case. One of the most profound periods of a capable and active Congress was immediately after the Civil War. Far from civil, the era was epic for a number of reasons.
The passage in 1865 of the 13th Amendment, which ended slavery (except in cases of incarceration) was the first of three Reconstruction Constitutional Amendments. The 13th Amendment was proposed by U.S. Rep. James Mitchell Ashley, a Republican from Ohio who ran away from home at age 14 and was an active member of the Underground Railroad.
In 1865, there were 36 states, and the country was divided on many issues, not the least was how to integrate the millions of recently freed Black people emerging from 246 years of chattel slavery. A group of Radical Republicans led by Rep. Ashley, Sen. John C. Fremont (Calif.), Sen. Charles Sumner (Mass.), Rep. Thaddeus Stevens (Penn.), and Rep. Ulysses S. Grant (Ill.) led legislative efforts to create conditions of equality for all under the Constitution. They were heavily influenced by religious ideology. The white radicals were opposed by white liberals, white pro-slavery Democrats, and white moderate Republicans, led by President Abraham Lincoln. The issue of race was a prominent national debate in a whites-only national citizenry after a bitter and bloody Civil War.
*The group prioritizing the political and economic empowerment of Black people called themselves “radicals” because of their goal: “immediate, complete, permanent eradication of slavery, without compromise.” This collective of Radicals passed the Freedmen’s Bureau, the Civil Rights Bill and the Reconstruction Acts. When President Andrew Johnson vetoed all of these, Rep. Ashley initiated impeachment proceedings against Johnson, who was a former slave owner from Tennessee.
Ashley and the Radicals also supported equality in public education, including Chinese immigrants in the West. When Ulysses S. Grant became president in 1869, he stabilized the economy, protected civil rights for people of color and heavily prosecuted the Klan. The close of Grant’s presidency in 1877 ended the dominant reign of the radicals. What this group accomplished was a start, but because of generations of violent backlash that destroyed much of the progress, the radicals’ full intended vision is still yet to be realized.
The Freedmen’s Bureau, the first Civil Rights Bill (1866) and the constitutional amendments were all important and necessary in moving toward a more equitable foundation of the fledgling U.S., which was less than 100 years old at this time and founded on a constitution modeled after white European doctrines. The term “systemic racism” quite accurately implies that racism exists in all our systems and policies in the United States. This is a broad sweeping statement that sadly, holds true. To eradicate racism, one essential step is to redesign new, inclusive and equitable policies across our democracy.
We need white radicals today to see this effort come to pass. In speaking with cultural economist Mike Green, he says the issues today are the same since the 1960s, which are a continuation of the initial concerns expressed nearly 100 years earlier.
“Our challenge, as a nation, is whether or not we’re going to maintain the status quo of white supremacy, or we’re going to move our identity of America into the future as a multicultural society, that is inclusive of all,” said Green, chief strategist for the National Institute for Inclusive Competitiveness (NIIC) and co-founder of Common Ground Conversations on Race in America. “This is really what we’re talking about.”
Green agrees it is possible to move toward positive, equitable change. We all must keep up the momentum. This is a continuation of the equity (and reparations) debate from 1865. Today, we must continue the heavy lifting until America reaches a collective goal of equity and inclusivity of all. Cultural competency illuminates a pathway forward and inspires and motivates strong, supportive grassroots radicals to achieve a historic vision.

Many tech companies are emerging from the downturn in better shape than before, but the turnaround for Seattle’s Isilon Systems is striking.
The storage-system manufacturer Thursday is reporting its first profitable quarter – by a hair – and record sales of $37.5 million, up 18 percent from the same period last year. It’s reporting a profit of $140,000, after losing $4.3 million a year ago.
Whether the profitability continues remains to be seen, but founder and Chief Executive Sujal Patel characterized the quarter as a turning point for the company he started after leaving RealNetworks in 2001.
“For us this is a pretty significant step because it really leaves 2009, a year where we were playing defense, behind and sets us up to play offense in 2010 and really grow this business aggressively,” he said.
Isilon went from Wall Street darling and the state’s largest IPO in 2006 to an outcast of sorts after it missed projections, fumbled its expansion and was accused by the SEC of inflating sales reports.
It came to a head in late 2007, when the company announced it was delaying its earnings report and that Chief Executive Steve Goldman and Chief Financial Officer Stuart Fuhlendorf had quit.
Patel, who had given up the chief spot in 2003 to focus on technology, resumed the position and began replacing nearly every top executive at the company.
The New Jersey native is now 35 years old. He joined Real in 1996 after graduating from University of Maryland.
Patel said the earnings being reported Thursday validate Isilon’s business and its reorganization over the past two years. He’s performing a victory lap today in New York, where he’s meeting with analysts and ringing the Nasdaq bell.
Timing worked out, because the recession provided a sort of cover for Isilon to work out its problems. Now, as tech spending is recovering, “a lot of the initiatives we’ve put in place have really begun to bear fruit,” Patel said.
Isilon’s on track to reach $1 billion in sales and 3,000 employees in five years, he said, up from its current 360 employees and $124 million in 2009 sales.
Board member Matt McIlwain said Isilon is filling the gap in Seattle’s tech community between numerous small companies and a relatively small handful of big ones.
“We need more of these kind of small to medium-size public tech companies in this town – we don’t want them all bought up,” said McIlwain, managing director of Madrona Venture Group. “They’re in position where they have a chance to remain independent.”
But Isilon has regained its footing, and its blue-chip customer list could make it a candidate for acquisition as the big enterprise hardware vendors build out their portfolios this year. Customers include Facebook, MySpace, NBC Sports and director James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment, which used Isilon systems in its production of “Avatar.”
Patel said Isilon has diversified beyond entretainment companies recently, with increased sales to life-sciences and semiconductor companies, government and Microsoft.
Isilon storage boxes range in price from $22,000 to $175,000. They’re basically servers with hard drives, RAM and network switches, but Isilon’s software binds clusters of them together so they operate as a single network-attached storage drive with up to 10.5 petabytes of capacity.
“You can have a 10.5 petabyte C drive,” said Chris Blessington, senior director of marketing, as he showed off the datacenter Isilon runs in the former Airborne Express building overlooking Elliott Bay.
Here are some excerpts of the conversation with Patel:
Q: Will Wall Street still be concerned about your organizational challenges?
A: Posting this quarter will be an important step, but one or two more quarters like this and we’ll really move to positive sentiment in the marketplace. Because what we have done over the past year is we’ve been very clear with the street about what we intend to accomplish over the next quarter, how you should expect us to spend money. We’ve been right on our guidance and ahead of our guidance throughout the year.
We’ve been very focused on rebuilding our credibility with the street. I think we’re basically there. This quarter will definitely put us on the right path as we go forward.
Q: Are you going to get acquired — there is a lot of merger and acquisition activity now?
A: There is a lot of that shaping the marketplace. We as a company are very, very focused on growing our business into an independent, large storage company.
Q: Where will you be in five years?
A: I look out and I look at $500 million of revenue and $1 billion of revenue as the next two steps. Certainly in five years we have the opportunity to get to that billion dollar run rate, that is something we are definitely focused on.
If you look at our company’s history, from 2003 to IPO we grew at 200 percent year over year each year so it tripled our revenue every year. In our post IPO period, if you take out ’09, which obviously was a very tough year with the recession, the other two we grew about 35 to 40 percent which is sufficient to get to a billion dollar run rate in that five year timeframe. What we’re focused on is being able to put up 25, 30 percent more growth at a minium than the [storage] market is doing in general.

Forgotten grievers: an exploration of the grief experiences of bereaved grandparents
International Journal of Palliative Nursing, 05/15/2012
Gilrane–McGarry U et al. – The present paper discusses the remaining two findings: factors that facilitate and factors that inhibit the resolution of the cumulative pain. Several factors were perceived by the bereaved grandparents as being either helpful or unhelpful in easing the pain of their grief. Among these were acknowledgment of the deceased grandchild and the grandparents themselves, the relationship with the bereaved son or daughter, family dynamics, and support mechanisms.

Most people like some type of video game. It is a hugely popular hobby, spanning all ages and backgrounds. Make your video game experience one to remember by using the article below to get advice on everything video game related.
Understand each game rating. Games come in a variety of levels of appropriateness. Each game has a rating, beginning at EC (Early Childhood) and ending at AO (Adults Only). When the game is for a child, check the rating and select your games with caution.
Before buying a video game for a child, ask questions about types of games they like. You need to know if the game is good for the child’s age, and if you have only one option available to purchase, then it might not be appropriate to buy it for that child.
If you can, try downloading a game demo you’re interested in. A free demo can introduce you to the game’s graphics, controls and storyline, allowing you to select a game that appeals to you. You should always be cautious when downloading anything, however. You should only download content from a trusted site for video games.
Spend some time with your children playing video games that both of you like. Video games can be educational, and children enjoy them. Playing educational video games can not only teach your child something, but they also can improve eye-hand coordination.
Online games need to be viewed with a critical eye. You will sometimes have to pay monthly fees in order to gain access. If you have a child who wants to join an online-gaming site, then you should check it out first. If you do decide to let your child play, add up what the fees will be. Is the cost worth it?
Many video games have parental control settings you can adjust. Check to see if you can play the game online. If it must be played online, there are several things you can do to protect your children, including limiting their Internet access. You may also want to check their friends requests and limit the amount of time they play to be safe.
Games that have a label of M (for mature) are not for everyone; you should have rules in your house related to who can play what games. Both consoles and PCs can be set up so that more mature games cannot be played on them, though doing so on a PC can be difficult. Understand what your kid is doing with their video games.
Think about letting your kids video game on consoles instead of on computers. You can control privacy, which ratings can be played and other security options, which isn’t possible on a computer. You kids are more protected on a console dedicated to gaming.
Libraries often lend video games. The public library offers a number of game titles that you are able to play for free. There are usually various titles for various systems. You can call them ahead of time to see what they have.
Don’t toss out video games that are dated or aging. Many stores let you trade your games in for money. You can sell it for cash, or trade it in for a game that is new to you.
Before letting your youngster play a video game, it is best that you know exactly how this game is rated. The most violent, profane or sexual video games come with a rating of M or A. It is inappropriate to allow small children to play these sorts of games. They can truly affect their psyche.
Check sites like Metacritic to check out a game’s overall score before you go out to buy a new video game. Cheap games typically have difficult game play or aren’t enjoyable. Because of this, you will just be throwing money away on games that will not get played. The Metacritic score is going to be your best friend.
Check out arcades when you travel away from home. Many people go to these arcades to play games with other people. Going to an arcade in a different locale can facilitate human interaction and socialization.
Monitor your child’s online video game habits. While many have ESRB ratings, some warn that certain content in the game may not fall within a given rating. Some games have chat features, and some have clothing, weapon and other customizations. Your child’s online security needs to be top priority.
Always keep price in mind when looking to buy a great video game. Expensive games aren’t always the best. Check out the full description on the game box in order to make an educated choice. Also, you can check out online reviews of the game before making the commitment to buy it. You shouldn’t buy a game if you are not sure whether you are going to like it.
You can easily talk to other gamers on the Internet. You have to socialize, even if it’s just online. You can share tips and chat with folks who share a common interest by using online forums and chat rooms.
Video games are popular to all kinds of people, and they’re all ages. Using the information above, you should be able to maximize your fun while playing video games. Be sure to have fun when playing.

The topic of pillow shams has always been a cause of confusion in the world of beddings. They are often interchanged with pillowcases because they often look alike, with subtle differences, which beg the question: what really is a pillow sham?
What Really Is a Pillow Sham?
If you look up the term ‘sham’ in the dictionary, you will see that it means “bogus; false; fake.” In the case of pillow shams, it’s basically as the name implies. The term “pillow sham” means a pillow with a “false front.”
In the 1700s, specially-made pillowcases were made to create decorative pillows with removable covers. These pillows with false fronts came to be known as pillow shams.
A sham is a decorative pillow case that transforms normal-sized pillows into something decorative. They add a touch of playfulness and elegance to any normal pillows. They are different from typical pillowcases in that they are often open in the middle of the back, with slightly overlapped fabric. They are sometimes closed with a hidden zipper.
Pillow shams are usually made to go with other bedding elements such as matching duvet covers or comforters.
If Pillow Shams are Mainly Decorative, Can They be Slept On?
Technically, a pillow covered with a sham is still a pillow. So technically, it can still be used for sleep. However, most pillow shams are made from textured decorative fabrics or with flanges that are bulky that may bunch up as you sleep.
Pillows with shams are mainly used as decorative pieces and as support when placed behind normal pillows. Unlike throw pillows, cotton shams can be easily removed from their fills to be washed or replaced.

Radiance Fibromalic. Malic acid + Devil's Claw + Boswellia + Magnesium. Muscular comfort formula. Chronic inflammatory disorders can sometimes cause severe or almost constant joint muscular discomfort. This synergistic blend of soothing, relaxing and toxin clearing herbs and nutrients may help to support the body's natural ability to manage inflammation and maintain the cellular energy required when fatigue and discomfort have become an everyday challenge. Fibromyalgia and chronic pain may all be conditions this product may help with. 60 Vegetarian Capsules.
Orthodox treatment of these conditions relies largely on analgesics, anti-inflammatories and anti-depressants. These drugs often have many unpleasant side effects including addiction, and they do NOT address the cause of the problem or provide safe long-term relief. Toxicity, including chemicals and heavy metals such as aluminium, are thought to play a major role in the above mentioned conditions. It is widely known that aluminium overload can lead to major metabolic disturbances, including inhibition of ATP (energy) production. In research studies, it was found that adequate amounts of magnesium help to prevent the toxic effects of aluminium. Malic acid can act as a most potent aluminium detoxifier and is especially effective at decreasing aluminium toxicity in the brain. Treatment with malic acid has been shown to greatly increase the faecal and urinary excretion of aluminium, and reduce the concentration of aluminium found in various organs and tissues. Radiance FibroMalic combines the benefits of: Malic Acid, a naturally occurring, non-toxic acid found in fruits and vegetables, especially apples. Malic acid plays an essential part in sugar metabolism and energy production. Malic acid has the ability to increase the utilisation of substance needed for ATP synthesises. It also has an oxygen sparing effect, by increasing energy production efficiency this reduces tissue hypoxia, blood vessel spasm, and tissue protein breakdown. Higher oxygen and nutrient levels are also maintained for use by muscle and other tissues. Aluminium chelation is also seen with malic acid treatment. All chronic pain sufferers, especially fibromyalgia sufferers, have a deficiency of magnesium. Magnesium controls muscle relaxation along with having a role in many other metabolic processes. Devil's Claw, a herb with anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties which has been shown in clinicial studies to help reduce muscular and joint pain. Boswellia: is an Ayurvedic herb with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Vitamin C and Vitamin B6 are essential for repair of body tissues and many metabolic processes. Chromium, an important trace mineral is important for blood sugar diets or have sugar metabolism problems.
The ingredients in this formula may help with the reduction of symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia and Chronic pain. Fibromyalgia is classified as a soft tissue musculoskeletal condition. The primary symptoms include stiffness, chronic musculoskeletal pain, aching, disturbed sleep, depression, anxiety and fatigue. A synergistic blend of natural nutrients developed by Dr Billie Sahley PhD., and successfully clinically trialled at the Pain and Stress Centre in San Antonio, Texas. In a recent open clinical trial, scientists used oral Magnesium and Malic Acid, with 15 patients aged 32 to 60, for a period of 4 to 8 weeks. The results of the study were remarkable. All the patients reported significant pain relief within 48 hours of treatment and within 4 to 8 weeks all patients had a lowered Tender Point Index.
Each Vegi Capsule contains: Malic Acid 400mg, Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) extract 400mg (equivalent to dry herb, standardised to 2mg harpagosides) Boswellia serrate extract 500mg (standardized to 35mg boswellic acids), Magnesium Citrate 50mg, Vitamin C ( Calcium ascorbate) 5mg, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL) 2.5mg, Chromium picolinate 25mcg.100% vegetarian. Microcrystalline Cellulose Capsule, magnesium stearate, silica. No corn, egg, gluten, milk derivatives, nuts, salt, soy, sugar, wheat, artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
Take two Capsules daily with meals or as directed by your health care professional. Keep tightly closed in a dry place.
Keep out of reach of children Not intended during pregnancy or lactation. Close lid tightly. Store in a cool, dry place.

The Simple Woman's Daybook
Years ago I started participating in The Simple Woman's Daybook group and enjoyed it but for some reason stopped participating. Lately I've discovered that I get so caught up in the ho-hum of the everyday that I forget to just stop and ponder, or slow down and be creative and intentional. I wanted to do something to get myself going again. I came across an old post I had done and thought "why not start this up again." We'll see how it goes.


The outburst and agitation in Seemandhra, which has continued for the ninth day, has caused upheaval in the political arena in the state. The Samaikyandhra supporters have also boycotted the screening of all Telugu movies, posing a threat to the films of many biggies. The release of a few big-budget flicks has been already postponed. But director Harish Shankar says that there is no change in the release date of Junior NTR's upcoming movie Ramayya Vasthavayya.
Chiranjeevi, and late actor and ex-CM of Andhra Pradesh, NTR's families are from Seemandhra region. Besides being influential in the film industry, they have also got strong political background. The Samaikyandhra supporters are very upset with both families as they feel that they could have avoided the division of the state. So they have decided to boycott their family movies.
Due to this threat, the release of Yevadu starring Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Teja, and Attarintiki Daredi featuring his brother Pawan Kalyan, have already been delayed. It was rumoured that the release of Junior NTR starrer Ramayya Vasthavayya, which is slated to hit the screens in September, would be postponed.
Gabbar Singh fame Harish Shankar, who is directing Junior NTR in Ramayya Vasthavayya, took to his Twitter page on Tuesday to silence the rumour mongers. The director says the movie is currently in the post-production stage and will release on time. He tweeted, "Ramayya Vastaava is releasing on Sept 27 th ... Already Dubbing work started :-)"
Ramayya Vasthavayya - Romantic Action Entertainer
Ramayya Vasthavayya is a romantic action movie, which is touted to be an out-and-out commercial entertainer. The movie has been written and directed by Harish Shankar. Producer Dil Raju, who is producing the film under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations, has shelled out Rs 35 crores on its making.
NTR To Romance Two Heroines
Junior NTR is playing the hero in the film, but the makers have kept the details about his role under wraps. He will romance two leading heroines, Samantha and Shruti Hassan. This is his second movie with Samantha after Brindavanam. Vidyullekha Raman, P Ravi Shankar, Rao Ramesh and Paruchuri Prasad are in the supporting cast.
S Thaman's Music For RV
S Thaman, who has earlier worked with Harish Shankar in Mirapakay, has teamed up with him again for the second time. He has composed the soundtrack for Ramayya Vasthavayya, which will be released soon. Chota K Naidu has handled cinematography for the film.
It was rumoured earlier that Harish Shankar would title the film as MLA Manchi Lakshanalu Unna Abbai, but due to creative differences the team removed it. After Dil Raju registered the title, it was also rumored that the title would be used for this movie. But ultimately, the makers announced that Ramayya Vasthavayya would be the title for Harish-NTR combo movie.
Ramayya Vasthavayya Shooting
Ramayya Vasthavayya was officially launched on October 18, 2012 at Dil Raju's office in Hyderabad and began its filming on January 3, 2013. The 80% of the movie has been shot in Hyderabad and the rest in Pollachi and songs in different location in India.
RV Release Date
Lorgan Entertainment, a leading independent distributor of Australia, has acquired the distribution rights of Ramayya Vasthavayya. The release date of the film, September 27, marks the 12th anniversary of NTR's first Blockbuster Student No 1.

Cooling & Ventilation Supplies|
Poly Film Greenhouse Covering
TOP SPRAY AUTOMATIC GROWING SYSTEM FOR VERTICAL BAG CULTURE
|The vertical bag culture growing system developed by Hydro-Gardens is adaptable to any size greenhouse. Many different combinations of timers,
injectors or nutrient holding tanks can be used. The basic system includes 5 gallon black
growing bags with a sprayer in each bag. The sprayer has 24" spaghetti tube which
connects to a 3/4" or 1" poly pipe nutrient line running the length of the
greenhouse. The spaghetti line is inserted into the poly line with a simple punching tool.
No glue or grommets are required.
A 24 volt automatic valve in the center of each zone
(single or multiple rows) is attached to an underground PVC header pipe which runs across
the width of the greenhouse. A PVC tee is placed in the header line for each automatic
valve and is connected to the poly line with a poly combination tee. Since the valve is
normally closed until energized by the control device, the header line is always under
pressure (30-50 psi). Each zone is fed individually as programmed and activated by the
Solar Irrigation Controller, or activated by the sequence timer.
The nutrient supply system (injector, pump, etc.) is designed according to the size of
the greenhouse and type of crop to be grown. For example, a typical 5 row greenhouse only
needs the Solar Controller. A 24 zone greenhouse may also need a 24 station timer. Using a
sequence timer to feed one row at a time may be less expensive than increasing the
injector size to water multiple rows. If a large nutrient holding tank is used with a pump
sufficient to feed all rows at one time, then a sequence timer is not required. However,
it is apparent that an injector and solar controller system is far more practical, less
expensive, and requires less space than installing large nutrient tanks.
The selection of the injector system and control device(s) is an important part of the
overall design. Certain factors must be known: 1) the number of zones, 2) the number of
feeders per zone, 3) the water volume available to the greenhouse, and 4) the water
quality. Hydro-Gardens offers designs for any size greenhouse and any major type of crop.
Solid state timers are available in an assortment of numbers of stations. The timer can be
activated by the solar controller which measures available sunlight. You adjust the solar
controller to water the plants only when they are receiving adequate sunlight. Solar
controller models with 3 and 12 stations are available.
Hydro-Gardens offers three types of injectors. The Anderson and Dosmatic
Injectors are driven and controlled by water volume. The less expensive Chem-Feed
injectors are driven by an electric motor. All provide the function of changing our
Chem-Gro fertilizers from the concentrated form into a plant usable fertilizer by metering
out the correct amount of concentrate into the water supply line.
Anderson and Dosmatic injectors are designed to handle variable flow rates of water.
There are sizes with maximum water flow rates of 20, 30, 50 and higher gallons per minute
(GPM). They operate accurately anywhere from 1 GPM to their maximum. The dial on each pump
head of the Anderson water driven injector is easily adjustable to deliver the desired
quantity of concentrated fertilizer to the fresh water supply line going to your plants.
The pumping action of the pump heads is controlled by the water motor. Each Dosmatic is
individually adjustable with dosage rings, and uses a piston to deliver
value of both injectors is the fact that each delivers the correct volume of fertilizer
concentrate over a wide range of fluctuating water pressures and volumes. These injectors
are very accurate, dependable, and completely automated. More specifications can be found
in the pages of this catalog.
The Chem-Feed injector is an electric motor driven pump that delivers a constant flow
of fertilizer concentrate to the fresh water supply going to your plants based on the dial
setting on the face of the pump. Its accuracy is totally dependent on the volume of
fresh water delivered to the plants. If your fresh water system cannot deliver a constant
volume of water, you will not be able to accurately adjust the pump to deliver the correct
amount of fertilizer concentrate. The Dole 10 GPM regulator adjusts flow rates that are
greater than 10 GPM, down to 10 GPM. The maximum number of sprayers per zone is about 140.
Thus the Chem-Feed system is dependent upon having a constant PSI and water flow. For this
type of injector system all individual rows (zones) of plants must have the same number of
sprayers. This will guarantee equivalent dilute solutions to each row (zone).
It should be apparent that a properly engineered design can have long term labor and
operating cost savings and can enhance your crop production. Hydro-Gardens
has the experience required, and will be glad to design a system for your needs.
BAG CULTURE GROWING SYSTEMS FOR VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS
|The top spray feeding system was developed in
1972 by Hydro-Gardens for controlled watering and feeding of
plants in vertical bags. The Vertical Bag System utilizes a 5
"gallon" (20 liter) upright plastic bag with drain
holes. Hydro-Gardens’ plastic bags are inexpensive,
lightweight, and will last several years. Our bags are
manufactured from a specially formulated plastic that contains
ultra-violet light inhibitors. They easily outlast plain plastic
bags. They are extremely flexible and adaptable to many plants
including tomatoes, European cucumbers, peppers, roses and
trees.In 2004 Hydro-Gardens developed the EZ
Gro Bags. These are 5 gallon bags pre-filled with coir.
Simply put your sprayer/dripper in the bag, turn on the water,
and now you have a vertical bag system ready to go. This new
design is much more labor efficient and helps the growers to cut
Click Here to see pictures.
Each container is watered with a
uniform pattern of nutrient solution for a very short period of time, usually one minute
every 1 to 2 hours during the daylight period for mature crops. The amount of irrigation
time and the frequency depend on the crop, variety, age of the plant, season of the year,
and type of growing media used. Each vertical container has drain holes in the bottom.
When the nutrient solution is properly adjusted, plants can seldom be over watered or over
Fertilization is simplified tremendously by the use of a very accurate injector (ratio
feeder) in conjunction with our solar irrigation controller or a sequence timer/solar
controller combination. The amount of nutrient is carefully regulated automatically by
volume and concentration to each plant. The pH is automatically maintained in the proper
range with the injector system.
Since every greenhouse cannot have a testing laboratory, it is necessary to start with
standard feeding schedules and standard formulas. First, a water sample should be taken
and sent to a reputable laboratory to verify essential and non-essential levels of
elements in your water source. Once the plant is large enough to take a leaf sample, the
nutritional balance can be monitored and small changes can be made as the plant matures.
The important factor of this system is that one can regulate the nutrition being applied
to the plants with very little labor. The results are rapid since the nutrients are placed
right at the root zone. In the bag system, the roots are contained, and each plant is fed
uniformly and equally every time. Under these conditions, the plants achieve maximum
growth if the environment is controlled. The bag system is safe, simple and creates an
ideal environment for the root system. Root zone temperature can be maintained at a higher
level than if grown in the greenhouse soil.
Many growing medias are used with the vertical or bag system.
One of the most popular is the EZ
Grow 5 Gal Bag coconut fiber/perlite blend. This mixture is
ideal since it is pH adjusted, has good water and nutrient
holding capabilities, and remains porous enough to maintain good
aeration of the root zone. Some of the more common medias being
** 100% coconut fiber (EZ
Gro Bag - COIR)
** 70% EZ Gro Bag - COIR,
30% coarse perlite
** 100% peat-lite mixtures; such as Pro-Mix BX
** 40% peat-lite w/ 60% sawdust, sand or rice hulls
** 40% peat moss, 40% vermiculite and 20% perlite
** 40% peat moss, 40% vermiculite and 20% sand
** Rockwool/COIR mixtures
** Rockwool/peat-lite mixtures
** Rockwool/peat mixtures
** 30% peat moss and aged, coarse sawdust
** Straight aged redwood sawdust
** Coarse washed stucco grade sand
** Aged pine bark
NOTE: Many other media combinations may work well when used in conjunction with the
proper nutrient concentrations and watering schedules. Send a sample to one of the testing
labs listed in this catalog.

We recently had the privilege of brewing our first-ever wet hop beer. The 4Qs crew gathered to pick Comet hops off the bine grown by our own Heather at her family’s hop yard in North Hero to be used in our aptly named forthcoming beer – North Hero Hop Comet. The beer was also brewed with some overnighted wet Comet hops from Crosby Hops in Oregon.
A wet hop beer means we are using full cone hops in the brewing process right after they are picked, versus the dried hop pellets we typically use. Hop harvest season (August-September) is a special time of year where freshly harvested hops are bountifully available! Very excited for this one.
North Hero Hop Comet is an IPA brewed with fresh Comet hops from North Hero Hops & Agriculture and Crosby Hop Farm, 7%.

WINCHESTER — A successor to the defunct Timbrook Youth Reporting Center is in the works.
The new Timbrook Achievement Center would be based at the Youth Development Center at 3 Battaile Drive and, like its predecessor, provide an alternative to detention for at-risk teenagers.
City Council agreed at its work session Tuesday night to authorize City Manager Eden Freeman to apply for a $141,684 Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Alternative Interventions for Status Offenders grant, which would fund the program’s operations from Jan. 1, 2020, to Sept. 30, 2021. According to documents shared with council, program costs are not expected to exceed $25,000 per quarter.
The Timbrook Achievement Center would be overseen by Program Coordinator Laura Lee Harper and an administrative assistant, with additional support from Frederick/Winchester Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Elizabeth Kellas and Youth Development Center Executive Director LaTasha Do’zia-Earley.
The center would be a “community-based organization working in collaboration with its other community partners ... to establish intervention programs that target juveniles with truancy or other disruptive behavior problems who are at risk for further delinquency,” council documents state.
Freeman said it’s a mission that builds upon the one followed by the Timbrook Youth Reporting Center, which closed at the end of 2016 due to budget and staffing limitations.
The Youth Reporting Center began on Jan. 3, 2011, as a joint effort between the Winchester Police Department and Winchester Public Schools, with staffing and support from city schools, Winchester’s judicial system and numerous nonprofit agencies. Funding was provided by the city, the school system and an approximately $32,000-a-year federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.
Teenagers enrolled in the after-school program received career counseling and drug and alcohol awareness information, as well as daily academic support from city teachers.
By 2014, enrollment at the center had grown to include 18 teenagers who had gone through the court system and/or had behavioral or truancy problems.
The Youth Reporting Center’s federal grant expired Sept. 30, 2014, but the city and school system continued to fund and staff the center for two more years.
The center was based in the Timbrook House at 305 E. Piccadilly St. The house is now utilized by the Northern Shenandoah Valley Substance Abuse Coalition’s Northwestern Regional Drug Treatment Court program.
City Council voted 7-0-1 Tuesday night to seek grant funding for the new Timbrook Achievement Center at the Youth Development Center. Councilor Judy McKiernan, an employee of Winchester Public Schools, abstained because of the school system’s involvement with the proposed program.
The grant’s application deadline is Monday, so council plans to retroactively adopt a resolution formally approving the application’s submission at its next meeting on Aug. 27.
In other business at Tuesday’s meeting and work session, City Council:
- Unanimously approved ordinance amendments requested by the Winchester Parking Authority to abolish Lee-Jackson Day as a free parking day and replace it with Columbus Day, lessen parking restrictions on utility vehicles, authorize the towing of vehicles that park in city garages for 72 hours or more without a monthly parking permit, and change parking meter coin collections from daily to weekly.
- Unanimously approved, with one abstention, a resolution authorizing Winchester Regional Airport to seek a $1.5 million loan for the purchase of an existing hangar at the airport in Frederick County. Since the airport is a municipal partnership between five member jurisdictions, including Winchester, the governing bodies of each jurisdiction needed to approve the request. Councilor John Willingham abstained from the vote.
- Unanimously approved a resolution to add a Planned Unit Development (PUD) designation to three parcels totaling 4.8 acres at the corner of Hope and Valor drives. The property, which has Highway Commercial District (B-2) zoning, is the site of a proposed mixed-use complex, Harrison Plaza, that would include 70 apartments and nearly 20,000 square feet of commercial space.
- Unanimously agreed to forward an ordinance authorizing the issuance and sale of $16.9 million in public improvement bonds to fund previously approved projects including Valley Avenue drainage and sidewalks, an extension of Hope Drive, renovations at the city-owned Creamery Building, and renovations of the Winchester Public Schools-owned Douglas Community Learning Center and Shihadeh Innovation Center.
- Unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the update of a service agreement between the city and the SPCA of Winchester, Frederick and Clarke Counties.
- Unanimously approved a resolution to construct a fence around a new stormwater retention pond that will be built as part of the Hope Drive extension.
- Unanimously agreed to forward a resolution approving the creation of a regional economic development organization. The Economic Coalition of the Northern Shenandoah Valley would include representatives from the economic development authorities of Winchester, Frederick County and Clarke County.
- Unanimously agreed to forward an ordinance to add a PUD designation to a 0.95-acre property zoned Medium Density Residential (MR) at 410 and 412 Smithfield Ave. The change would legalize the three apartments that already exist at the site.
- Unanimously agreed to forward an ordinance to rezone a 5-acre tract at 2508 Papermill Road, partially occupied by Winchester Noland Co., from Intensive Industrial (M-2) to Commercial Industrial (CM-1). The change would align with the zoning designations of two adjacent properties to the south.
- Unanimously approved, with one abstention, an ordinance adopting Winchester’s annual action plan for use of Community Development Block Grant and HOME fund allocations. Willingham abstained from the vote.
- Unanimously agreed to forward a resolution approving the Northwestern Community Service Board’s performance contract for fiscal year 2020.
- Unanimously agreed to forward an ordinance granting an access easement to a 9-foot-wide strip of city-owned property at 218 Baker St. The easement would allow Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity to build a driveway behind a home proposed for construction at 216 Baker St.
- Unanimously agreed, with one abstention, to forward the reappointment of Willingham to a three-year term on the Frederick-Winchester Service Authority, expiring Aug. 31, 2022. Willingham abstained from the vote.
- Met in executive session for one hour to discuss board appointments and a potential real estate transaction. No action was taken following the closed-door discussions.
Attending Tuesday night’s City Council meeting and work session in Rouss City Hall were Mayor and council President David Smith, Vice Mayor John Hill, Vice President Evan Clark and councilors Kim Herbstritt, John Willingham, Les Veach, Corey Sullivan and Judy McKiernan. Councilor Bill Wiley was absent.

In addition, the SEC is adopting amendments designed to make money market funds more resilient by increasing the diversification of their portfolios, enhancing their stress testing, and improving transparency by requiring money market funds to report additional information to the SEC and to investors. Additionally, stress testing will be required and a key focus will be placed on the funds ability to maintain weekly liquid assets of at least 10%. Finally, the amendments require investment advisers to certain large unregistered liquidity funds, which can have many of the same economic features as money market funds, to provide additional information about those funds to the SEC.
One of the best ways to learn about forex is to see how prices move in real time and place some trades using fake money by using an account called a paper-trading account (so there is no actual financial risk to you). Several brokerages offer online or mobile phone app-based paper trading accounts that work exactly the same as live trading accounts, but without your own capital at risk.
<>The world then decided to have fixed exchange rates that resulted in the U.S. dollar being the primary reserve currency and that it would be the only currency backed by gold, this is known as the ‘Bretton Woods System’ and it happened in 1944 (I know you super excited to know that). In 1971 the U.S. declared that it would no longer exchange gold for U.S. dollars that were held in foreign reserves, this marked the end of the Bretton Woods System. >
For trading purposes, the first currency listed in the pair is always the directional currency on a forex price chart. If you pull up a chart of the EUR/USD, and the price is moving higher, it means the EUR is moving higher relative to the USD.

The blender company could have reduced this risk by shorting the euro and buying the USD when they were at parity. That way, if the dollar rose in value, the profits from the trade would offset the reduced profit from the sale of blenders. If the USD fell in value, the more favorable exchange rate will increase the profit from the sale of blenders, which offsets the losses in the trade.
<>A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. A cryptocurrency is difficult to counterfeit because of this security feature. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized systems based on blockchain technology, a distributed ledger enforced by a disparate network of computers. A defining feature of a cryptocurrency, and arguably its biggest allure, is its organic nature; it is not issued by any central authority, rendering it theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation. >
<>Monero is the most prominent example of the CryptoNight algorithm. This algorithm was invented to add the privacy features Bitcoin is missing.

Cryptocurrencies are digital gold. Sound money that is secure from political influence. Money that promises to preserve and increase its value over time. Cryptocurrencies are also a fast and comfortable means of payment with a worldwide scope, and they are private and anonymous enough to serve as a means of payment for black markets and any other outlawed economic activity.
In response, on Friday, September 19, 2008, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced an optional program to "insure the holdings of any publicly offered eligible money market mutual fund—both retail and institutional—that pays a fee to participate in the program". The insurance guaranteed that if a covered fund had broken the buck, it would have been restored to $1 NAV. The program was similar to the FDIC, in that it insured deposit-like holdings and sought to prevent runs on the bank. The guarantee was backed by assets of the Treasury Department's Exchange Stabilization Fund, up to a maximum of $50 billion. This program only covered assets invested in funds before September 19, 2008, and those who sold equities, for example, during the subsequent market crash and parked their assets in money funds, were at risk. The program immediately stabilized the system and stanched the outflows, but drew criticism from banking organizations, including the Independent Community Bankers of America and American Bankers Association, who expected funds to drain out of bank deposits and into newly insured money funds, as these latter would combine higher yields with insurance. The guarantee program ended on September 18, 2009, with no losses and generated $1.2 billion in revenue from the participation fees.
<>In February 2014 the world's largest bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, declared bankruptcy. The company stated that it had lost nearly $473 million of their customers' bitcoins likely due to theft.

<>All the features of a standard mutual fund apply to a money market fund, with one key difference. A money market fund aims to maintain a net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. Any excess earnings that get generated through interest on the portfolio holdings are distributed to the investors in the form of dividend payments. Investors can purchase or redeem shares of money market funds through investment fund companies, brokerage firms, and banks. >
1) Controlled supply: Most cryptocurrencies limit the supply of the tokens. In Bitcoin, the supply decreases in time and will reach its final number sometime around the year 2140. All cryptocurrencies control the supply of the token by a schedule written in the code. This means the monetary supply of a cryptocurrency in every given moment in the future can roughly be calculated today. There is no surprise.
<>Standard Variable NAV VNAV– Standard MMFs must be VNAV funds.Funds are primarily invested in money market instruments, deposits and other short-term assets. Funds are subject to looser liquidity rules than Public Debt CNAV and LVNAV funds AND may invest in assets of much longer maturity.Units in the funds are purchased or redeemed at a variable price calculated to the equivalent of at least four significant figures (e.g. 10,000.00). >
This is a bank run in the sense that there is a mismatch in maturities, and thus a money fund is a "virtual bank": the assets of money funds, while short term, nonetheless typically have maturities of several months, while investors can request redemption at any time, without waiting for obligations to come due. Thus if there is a sudden demand for redemptions, the assets may be liquidated in a fire sale, depressing their sale price.

If you marry your adopted daughter, it's incest
Law clearly answers question raised by the case of a Brakpan woman who killed her father/husband
Does South African law allow a man to marry his adopted daughter?
This is the question many have asked after Cathy van Oudtshoorn appeared in the Pretoria High Court this week, charged with murdering her adoptive father, whom she married when she was 21.
Van Oudtshoorn, 31, shot dead her father/husband, Chris van Oudtshoorn, a 58-year-old electrical engineer from Brakpan, in April 2016 while he was watching TV.
She told the court that she had pulled the trigger after experiencing two decades of sexual abuse. She claimed that she suffered non-pathological criminal incapacity when she shot him.Chris’s former wife, Jorina van Niekerk, who is also Van Oudtshoorn’s adoptive mother, has already been convicted of being an accessory to the murder after she helped her daughter make the murder look like a robbery. She is serving a five-year jail sentence.
Litha Stwayi from the Centre for Child Law said marrying someone who was also your adopted child was not legally permissible.
She referred to the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007, which states that people may not lawfully marry each other on account of consanguinity [blood relations], affinity or an adoptive relationship, or unlawfully and intentionally engage in an act of sexual penetration with each other. Those who did, even if it was consensual, would be guilty of incest.
And it’s not only parents and children who are affected. The law also states that a person cannot marry ascendants and descendants in their direct line; or if they share a common ancestor even if it’s through a different line.Stwayi said that when a person adopted a child, the parental responsibilities and rights of the biological parents were terminated and the adoptive parents had all the parental responsibilities and rights.
Social worker Ingrid Pollak said she had never come across a case similar to the Van Oudtshoorn one.
“As far as I know it’s not legally allowed to marry your children. Once you adopt a child they are legally your child. What I can say is that there are many factors that result in such arrangements.”She said the cultural and family background of the family played a role in the kind of relationships they engaged in.
“Some cultures find incest normal while others don’t. Some countries recognise such marriages while others don’t. Whatever the case, there are some implications that come with intermarriage. They may or may not come with mental retardation or other genetic diseases [in offspring]. Thus intermarriages are prohibited between people who share a common ancestor. There should be generations between them.”
Pollak said a person was not legally allowed to marry their immediate family members such as siblings or half-siblings.
Van Oudtshoorn was referred to the Weskoppies psychiatric hospital on Tuesday for evaluation. The case has been postponed to August 16.
