Cryptocurrency Co-founder Sentenced To 25 Years Over Financial Frauds
Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for orchestrating one of the largest financial frauds in U.S. history. The sentencing was handed down by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in a federal court in Manhattan.
Bankman-Fried was convicted of multiple charges, including fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering, related to the collapse of FTX, which had a major cash shortfall and led to billions of dollars in customer losses.
Prosecutors argued that Bankman-Fried had misappropriated FTX customer funds to support his Alameda Research investment group, as well as to fund political initiatives, speculative investments, and lavish lifestyles for FTX executives.
During the sentencing, Judge Kaplan criticized Bankman-Fried for his lack of remorse and the severe impact of his crimes on victims. The judge also expressed concern about the risk of recidivism, stating that there was a significant risk that Bankman-Fried could commit similar crimes in the future.
As part of the sentence, Bankman-Fried was ordered to forfeit more than $11 billion.
The defense argued that Bankman-Fried had merely borrowed the funds and was unaware of the extent of the debt he had accumulated. They described him as making a series of mistakes rather than intentionally defrauding customers.
However, the jury found the testimony unpersuasive, and the conviction was reached after only three hours of deliberation.
Bankman-Fried’s sentence is comparable to those received by other high-profile individuals convicted of white-collar crimes, such as Bernie Ebbers of WorldCom and Jeff Skilling of Enron, who received similar sentences, while Bernie Madoff received a much longer sentence of 150 years.
The case has had a significant impact on the cryptocurrency industry, with calls for increased scrutiny and regulation to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Bankman-Fried’s sentencing serves as a stark warning to others in the tech and financial sectors about the severe consequences of engaging in fraudulent activities.

Determination of total antioxidant capacity of green teas by the ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay
The tea plant (Camellia sinesis L.) is grown in about 30 countries worldwide (Graham, 1992). It grows best in tropical and subtropical areas with adequate rainfall, good drainage, and slightly acidic soil (Graham, 1999). Tea (Camellia sinesis) is also the most widely consumed beverage worldwide for its desirable aroma, taste and putative positive physiological functions (Zhu et al., 2002; Balentine, 1992). The type and quantity of tea taken varies in different countries and races (Weisburger, 1996; Kohlmeier, 1997). Tea contains large amounts of polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant properties, and these may prevent oxidative damage of DNA (Wiseman et al., 1997; Zhang and Shen, 1997). Tea is also rich in flavonoids and other polyphenols that have been shown to possess a wide range of biological and pharmaceutical benefits, including anticarcinogenic, antioxidative, and hypolipidemic activities (Buschman, 1998; Yang, 1999). These beneficial effects are may be attributed to tea’s antioxidant activity, e.g., free radical scavenging and metal chelating abilities. Studies have shown green tea has anti-inflammatory (Tipoe et al., 2007), cholesterol lowering (Koo and Noh, 2007), antiviral and antibacterial properties (Weber et al., 2003; Friedman et al., 2006). Based on results mainly from animal studies, many companies are supplementing their skin care products with green tea extracts (Katiyar and Elmets, 2001). However few studies have been conducted to investigate the antioxidant activity of Iranian consumed green tea samples.

My work aims to dissolve the perceived separation between humans and the natural world. When we see something as distant, other, or simply utilitarian, we tend to care less for it. I create and produce gatherings, performances, and stories that help us feel kinship with other species and our inherent belonging in/as nature. I feel an amplified urgency to make work that addresses climate change and its impacts on both human and natural communities, which I see as inextricably connected.
I have directed multiple dance projects for New ARTiculations Dance Theatre, exploring issues such as endangered species (Rosemont Ours, 2013), water (FLOW, 2012), urban revitalization (The Invisible City, 2008), and food systems (We Are What We Eat, 2008). Recent projects include: Suspended, a interactive installation/performance exploring human-animal behavior, light, shadow, and forests, presented at the Tucson Museum of Art; and Standing with Saguaros, a year-long project bringing participatory activities, innovative storytelling, and performance to Saguaro National Park in celebration of the National Park Service Centennial. I am also a co-founder and member of Movement Salon, an improvisational performance group that incorporates dance, spoken word, and live music to create ephemeral compositions.
My essays and articles about globalization, US-Mexico border issues, the environment, health and the arts have been published in literary magazines, anthologies, and online news outlets. My novel, THE LIGHTEST OBJECT IN THE UNIVERSE, about loss and adaptation in a post-apocalyptic America, is forthcoming from Algonquin Press.
Also a visual artist, I make photographs, papercuttings, and shadow puppet theater about wildlife, and the human body. I hold an MA in geography from the University of Arizona where in 1998 I founded you are here: the journal of creative geography (still in publication!).
I was the 2014 recipient of the “Lumie” Award for Established Artist from the Tucson Pima Arts Council and the Arizona Commission on the Arts annual Artist Project Grant (2012). My work has been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Kresge Foundation, the Arts Foundation of Southern Arizona (formerly Tucson Pima Arts Council), and others. I have been a resident artist at Djerassi, Blue Mountain Center, the Mesa Refuge, the Rasmuson Resident Artist Program with the Island Institute in Sitka, AK, and was the Centennial Artist-in-Residence in Saguaro National Park.
I have taught creative writing and dance in schools, communities, and institutions for over a decade. I am a writer/editor at the Southwest Folklife Alliance, dedicating to preserving and celebrating traditional knowledge and cultural expression in the Greater Southwest.
I am available to work with communities, organizations, and schools, offering presentations, classes/workshops, or residencies, or to help design and implement arts engagement strategies.
I also work as a writer/editor. My services are outlined at WordWork by Kimi.

3D printing is a new technology that allows you to make 3D objects from a computer file. Now, you might be wondering if 3D printing is a good thing or a bad thing.
Let’s discover different ways someone can use 3D printing for good or bad purposes.
Pro: Making Prosthetic Limbs
Did you know that 3D printing can help in making prosthetic limbs? This is a good thing because it can help people who have lost their arms or legs.
3D printers can create custom-made limbs that fit perfectly on the person’s body.
Con: Making Guns
Unfortunately, some people use 3D printing for bad things. For example, some people use 3D printers to make guns. This is a bad thing because it makes it easier for people to get guns without going through the proper channels.
Pro: Building Houses
3D printing can be beneficial in building houses. This is a good thing because it can help people who don’t have a place to live. 3D printers can create entire houses in just a few days.
Another bad thing people can do with 3D printing is counterfeiting. Counterfeiting means making fake products and selling them as real products. Some people use 3D printers to make fake money, designer clothes, and even fake prescription drugs.
Pro: Creating Customized Jewelry
One of the good things about 3D printing is to create customized jewelry. Instead of buying mass-produced jewelry from a store, you can design and print your unique piece in 3D.
Con: Printing Dangerous Objects
Unfortunately, some people use 3D printing to create dangerous objects. For example, some people use 3D printers to create weapons that metal detectors can’t detect.
Is 3D Printing Environmentally Friendly?
It can be environmentally friendly. 3D printing can reduce waste by only creating what is needed and can use eco-friendly materials. But it still uses energy and can produce non-biodegradable waste.
As you can see, 3D printing can be for good or bad things. It can help people who require prosthetic limbs or a place to live, but it can also be used to make guns or counterfeit products. It is important to use 3D printing responsibly and ethically to benefit everyone.

After being postponed from its originally planned St. Patrick’s Day launch, the Baton Rouge bikeshare program will rollout May 8, representatives from the company announced at this morning’s Downtown Development District Board of Commissioners meeting.
The program—implemented by South Carolina-bikeshare company Gotcha—will happen in phases, beginning with nearly 500 bikes downtown and on the campuses of LSU and Southern University.
Marketing efforts for the program will officially launch mid-April, says Cokie Reed, Gotcha’s community manager for Baton Rouge, adding the program was delayed to allow more time to promote the program and install the first 50 bike stations. The fleet will receive maintenance in a warehouse in Mid City that, Reed says, the company has yet to acquire.
The second phase, coming two years down the road, will expand the program’s footprint into the Baton Rouge Health District and grow the bikeshare’s fleet to 800 bikes.
A third phase will expand the program into Mid City.


1. Install the IOC Snapshot software. If you need a link for the download it is:
Enter in the license key when you see this window. If you would like to use a trial key, this one is good for 2 weeks.
2. After the installation you will see a blue camera icon in your system tray, right click it and select Sopro Imaging in the list of programs. Right click the blue camera again and go to Select Camera, and choose the camera you want to work with. The checkmark boxes should look similar to this:
3. Run the Sopro Imaging and click on File and then click on Setup.
4. Click on the Shortcuts tab, then click on Frame capture and hit the Control and Shift button on the keyboard, then hit the F key on your keyboard, when finished it should look like the screen below.
5. Click on the Color Images tab, then change the Video source to the name of your camera. Checkmark the box that says Return to live after a capture. Now click the Okay button at the bottom to close the Imaging Setup window. Be sure Return to live after a capture is unchecked.
*If you have image issues while taking images with Sopro Imaging and your camera, try changing the Video Source to “Virtual Camera” and be sure the only other camera attached to the computer is your intraoral camera.
6. Now you are ready to take images! Click the camera button on the toolbar to proceed!


Buy that headline writer a drink. The copy desk at The Center for Public Integrity made me click on the latest in its series Who’s Calling the Shots in State Politics?
I recommend reading the part about the deal that would give Nevada alcohol distributors early and significant control of the state’s recreational cannabis market if a legalization initiative on Nevada’s 2016 ballot is approved by voters.
Capitol Cannabis’ new monthly podcast is now streaming. Ed Murrieta talks about taxes, legalization, Oregon recreational, Nevada medical, Las Vegas tourism, and what the California Legislature faces when it returns from summer vacation.
Associated Press photo
Nevadans voted to legalize medical cannabis 15 years ago, but no language was in place to establish a system to sell or distribute the botanical drug until just two years ago.
Today, medical cannabis was sold legally in the state for the first time at a dispensary in Sparks, where 75 qualified medical cannabis patients lined up outside Silver State Relief to buy as much as a half-ounce of cannabis for $195.
Barring another setback (and there have a few), Nevada’s first medical cannabis dispensary is due to open today in Sparks.
Thanks to the nation’s most liberal reciprocity program, you don’t even have to live in the Silver State to buy green bud.

AS an antidote to the traditional Christmas panto the Southwark Playhouse has gone to the land of the rising sun for inspiration for its festive offering.
Usagi Yojimbo is a tale adapted from a 30-year-old Japanese comic book and is an absolute delight - even beginning with the audience getting a lesson in how to hold a sword and we have great fun pretending how to use it.
The show itself is a coming of age story about Usagi Yojimbo, a boisterous, tenacious, impetuous and petulant young rabbit who is in awe of his dead father's reputation as a samurai swordsman.
So in awe that he wants to be just like him.
His mother tries to rein in his curiosity and enthusiasm but one day when she finds that he is showing off his father's swords to his friends she decides enough is enough.
So she sends Usagi to a teacher far away who she hopes will teach him the skills he needs.
However, being the chap he is, instead of going to the intended school, he meets an old lion, a former warrior, who he begs to teach him instead.
And so begins Usagi's journey not only to learn how to use the sword properly but also what it means to be a samurai.
It features a small and amazing cast on a simple stage which itself opens up to reveal hidden treasures tucked away in hidey holes and a lone musician at the back of the stage provides the live music.
The stage and the curtain of bamboo on the back wall also become screens for some beautiful line drawn projections which complement the action on the stage.
It is at times funny and poignant but is also full of fun, charm and lots of well choreographed fights with bamboo poles and other implements.
It is a simple story, beautifully told and will appeal to anyone aged seven and over.
USAGI YOJIMBO is on at the Southwark Playhouse, Newington Causeway until Sunday, January 4.
Tickets cost £18 or £16 concessions. Visit www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk or call the box office on 020 7407 0234.

I love fresh herbs. I love their smell when you cut them or brush past them, and the unique power house of flavour each offers. I also love how prolifically they grow, especially now in Winter for me. Even better is the lack of insects like aphids, making it so much faster to process them! Plenty of herbs and lots of eggs from my girls, makes this a great use of farm produce.
If you are after a use for all your lovely fresh herbs, or have been looking for a way to add some nutrient rich greens into your diet, then give this easy vegetarian filo pie a go! This recipe uses a big bunch of mixed seasonal herbs combined with salty feta for a big hit of flavour. It is a winner of a vegetarian dish that is quick and easy to make.
If you are a seasoned filo pastry cook, you can skip my instructions in step 3. If you are new to working with filo, or have been avoiding it because it looks too fiddly, then this recipe is a good starting point. The pie intentionally has a rustic look so you don't have to be too delicate, and once you have done a few layers, the world of filo pastry will open to you. It really is very easy to use once you get the hang of handling it.
Herb and feta filo pie
w/ tarragon, dill, mint and parsley
16 sheets of fresh filo pastry (I use a 375g packet)
200g soft feta
200g Greek yoghurt
100g mixed herbs, chopped (I use in season herbs with my favourite winter mix being 30g dill, 30g mint, 30g parsley, 10g tarragon)
2 tbs olive oil + a good 3/4 cup more for oiling
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nigella seeds
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and oil the base and side of a 23cm springform cake tin.
2. Combine the feta, yoghurt, eggs, herbs, 2 tbs olive oil and salt in a mixing bowl.
3. Lay the entire pack of filo pastry sheets out flat on a clean, dry bench. With a pastry brush, cover the top piece of pastry in oil. Gently lift from the long edge furthest away from you and flip towards you so that the oiled side meets the 2nd piece of filo. Oil the next layer and pick up the two pieces that are now glued together with oil. Flip and repeat one more time. When you flip this piece you will end up with 4 pieces of filo with 3 layers of olive oil. OK good! The rest will be super straightforward!
4. Place 3 tbs of the feta herb mix on the 4 sheets of filo. Spread evenly over the surface, leaving 2cm free around the edge of the filo. Fold the 2 short sides over and oil them and the edge furthest away from you. Now starting closest to you, roll the filo along its long edge until you end up with a nice filo tube. Starting in the middle of your cake tin, gently curl this in a spiral around itself.
5. Continue with the remaining filo and mix. You will need 5 tubes to fill the tin that should be closely packed.
6. Liberally brush with remaining olive oil and sprinkle the nigella seeds on top.
7. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes until the top has some nice colour.
Serve alongside boiled potatoes coated with preserved lemon dressing and some grilled asparagus.

Daniel Hall Releases New Podcast On How To Publish Your First Kindle Book
June 08, 2016 – – Daniel Hall Combined Enterprises has announced that a new educational podcast episode is now available entitled, ‘Publishing Your First Kindle Book’. The podcast is designed to teach people the ins and outs of publishing a Kindle book. It focuses on every element, from deciding on a title to choosing the price. The podcast is already proving to be very popular. People are encouraged to listen to the Real Fast Results podcast here.
Daniel Hall himself says: “In this podcast, I’m going to actually step you through how to go about publishing your first Kindle book. We’re going to focus on those things that you really need to focus on and teach you what you can outsource.”
In the podcast, Daniel Hall starts by explaining why Kindle continues to be an excellent medium to sell books and how, while overall sales have tapered somewhat, they continue to be higher than those of physical books. He provides some details about what Kindle is, and how it can be used to monetize a business. He then delivers the real ins and outs of ‘how to publish your first Kindle book‘.
Those who have listened to the podcast, or who have read its transcript, have been very pleased with the information that has been provided. “Love the detailed notes,” says Jamie W. on the Real Fast Results website. “Makes it easy to get the podcast info when it isn’t convenient to listen. It is also easier to refer to notes, instead of having to re-listen, when trying to find something you mentioned,”
In the podcast, Daniel Hall starts by explaining how to choose a title and how the title has to make a promise that the book then delivers on. He then provides hints and tips on how to actually write the content of the book, suggesting that using a PowerPoint presentation can be beneficial. To become profitable Kindle authors, Daniel Hall suggests that they should also include a free offer, must copy edit their book, and focus on the cover before finally publishing it.

Originally I was going to call the class “Hermit Crab Essays” because I was inspired by the strange and wonderful form which is pretty popular right now in literary journals, and which was given this name by Brenda Miller and Suzanne Paola in their book about writing, Tell It Slant.
A hermit crab essay is an essay that adopts an empty shell from some other discipline/realm (it’s ideal if it’s a written form) and uses it to contain new content, just as hermit crabs find abandoned shells to occupy. We will read many essays that try out unusual formats for approaching familiar subjects, or passionately-held convictions in a new way.
For instance, this cool essay by Sonya Huber called Shadow Syllabus. This is not strictly a hermit crab essay as Huber doesn’t use the actual, rather dry format of a syllabus to convey her thoughts. Instead she uses a list (we’ll try those too!) to address the issues that come up for her as a teacher and student and those she knows will emerge for her students.
To write a hermit crab essay, write a list of written forms, for instance, a field guide, instructions, a recipe, or a multiple choice test. Then take a subject, especially a subject you have found difficult to write about, and try writing it using this format. Give it a little time. Usually wild and wonderful things happen. If not, try again with a new form.
At the end of this class, you will have five starts of essays using various inventive formats (including hermit crab essays). Think of this class as a chance to go into the essay lab and try combining different ingredients. Some of them will work; some of them might not. I hope you will also leave the class with one essay you started in class polished into a high state of shininess so it will be ready to share with others.
Waverly will teach “Essay Experiments” beginning Sept. 9.


The Barrie Downtown Countdown happens tonight and despite big names like Fred Penner and The Sam Roberts Band headlining the show, some of the biggest cheers may be for hometown boys Cousin Jack.
Cousin Jack consists of Lucas Millar (27) on lead vocals and guitar, Jake Thompson (27) on drums and vocals and Cameron Stevenson (26) handling bass, vocals and keyboard.
While all three attended high school here in the city, Thompson told BarrieToday they never actually met until later in life.
“All three of us went to high school in Barrie, but never really met until after college,” said Thompson. “Cam and I both went to St. Joan of Arc, but were a year apart and Lucas attended Barrie North Collegiate.
"Barrie was a pretty cool city to grow up in, being so close to Muskoka and so many lakes, but also being a quick drive to Toronto, there was always something to do," he added. "Back in the day, Barrie was known for its outdoor concerts and festivals in Molson Park, so we were very fortunate to be around for some of them, including Warped Tours, Live 8 and Edgefest.
"These were definitely major influential moments for all of us and it has been wild to see Barrie change over the years and kind of grown with us.”
The band knew for almost a month they were going to perform in front of their hometown crowd, but were not allowed to say anything until the official announcement.
Thompson said hearing they were going to be on the same line-up as Sam Roberts made the wait worthwhile.
“We all had a major fan-girl moment,” Thompson joked. “It was all very surreal hearing our name on the radio and then finding out we were sharing the stage with one of our childhood idols.
"We had been brainstorming and tried to figure who the headliner would be and short-listed bands that weren’t currently on tour and could not be happier with how it all worked out.”
Cousin Jack is set to hit the stage around 8:15 p.m., right after the 8 p.m. family countdown and fireworks.
The guys are confident there will be a big crowd at the show not just family and friends out to support them, but with the fact Barrie has become such a huge music city.
“The music scene in Barrie, as of the last few years, is slowly being resurrected,” Thompson said. “We have met many talented bands, ranging in many different sounds, but all coming together as a musical community.
"Of course, having the mayor in a band is a positive and having a great political figure advocating for the music scene, great opportunity arises, with possibilities for advancement in musical entertainment in Barrie."
Cousin Jack released a live-off-the-floor music video Sunday, which can be viewed on their Facebook page @cousinjacktheband.

This movie is both a good thing and a bad thing, and let me tell you why. So Katie has been haunted by some sort of ghost or demon all her life, and has finally gotten a house with her boyfriend, Micah, who is skeptical about Katie’s problem to say the least. He gets a video camera and decides to record everything that happens while they sleep, and this is the found footage of the aftermath. Looking at the numbers, this is one of the most successful movies ever made; sure you have Avatar which made $2.7 billion worldwide, but that had a bloated budget of approximately $425 million. This had a meager budget of $15,000, and the rate of return was 12:1 (even the return on the Blair Witch Project was roughly 10:1). To call this movie a sensation would be an understatement, as this has spawned three sequels and a Hispanic spin-off, and without even looking, I’m sure there’s more coming down the pipeline.
Now I’ve never actually seen any of these movies in a theater, as I think they are better suited for the small screen. I do typically like found footage horror movies ([Rec] is my all-time favorite horror movie), but hey, it’s a haunted house movie, so doesn’t it make more sense to watch it at home where the creaks and groans of the house settling can add to the effect?
This movie, as a whole, is something I admire. They were inspired with an idea, and they truly did more with less, utilizing a micro-budget to its fullest extent. This is bad because it directly led to a lot of lazy filmmaking. You have production companies that look at this on paper, see how wildly successful it was, and try to replicate it by also not spending money on their films. This is why you continually see twenty-something year olds that can’t act, the choice to shoot the film found footage to make the bottom line less, and products that are just lacking overall. At the same time, this is a good thing because it gets away from big budget Hollywood, and it’s hard not to support movies for being less exorbitant and extravagant. For better or worse, it all comes back to this one.
A critic I follow once made a comment about these movies that is impossible to unsee: this series is the Where’s Waldo of horror. The whole time you are staring at the screen, waiting for something to happen. The scares themselves are effective, and it’s so inexpensively made that you can suspend your disbelief into thinking this is remotely plausible. Now while I personally enjoy this, I do completely understand the people that have problems with it. The acting is just bad, and I suppose that could be to add to the effect that it is real, but that doesn’t change the fact that Katie Featherston is probably the worst actress in this entire series and they keep getting her back for every single movie. You have to fight questions like “who has time to edit all this footage together?”, and “why wouldn’t they at least try leaving the home, despite what the demonologist says?”. You have to deal with all of the most interesting elements being saved for the final 7 minutes, and it does drag in points during the day time when they are just a bickering couple. But you know what? I’m able to get past all of that, so this works for me.

There, she’s betrothed against her will to a melancholy boy named Wen, while finding herself falling for his dashing older brother instead. All the while she fights the call of the sea, the haunting music of the waves that drove her mother to madness.
When she begins to realize that there’s truth in the old myths about the gods and the Immortal Tree and the vengeful sea goddess Rahn, Talia must decide whether to shut out the call of the waves forever, or follow her fate across the sea.

Death of a loved one is difficult for anyone, but having to deal with their financial affairs can be overwhelming. Here is a simple guide to show how one’s financial affairs should be dealt with.
Gather all Financial and Legal Documents
• Copies of marriage, birth and death certificates
• Wills and life insurance policies
• All investment accounts including RRSPs and pension plans
• Group insurance benefit packages
• Business contracts including buy-sell agreements
• Automobile registration, insurance and driver’s license
• Income tax returns
• List of all assets and liabilities
Contact your Life Insurance Agent
Your insurance broker will guide you through the process of informing the various life insurance companies where policies are held. This includes personal policies, group insurance benefits and any corporately held contracts. If you do not have a current agent, contact me, I can help.
Notify the Various Government Agencies
• Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security will both pay any pension amounts due to the beneficiary of the estate. A lump sum payment is also payable by CPP.
• BC Medical (or any other Provincial Medical or State Plan) will adjust medical care cards and statements accordingly.
• Worker’s Compensation if the deceased was receiving a pension or monthly disability income.
• Employment Insurance (E.I.) if the individual was collecting unemployment benefits at the time of death.
• Motor Vehicle branches to cancel the drivers license and transfer ownership of any vehicles.
• Military Branches if the individual was collecting any benefits from the Armed Services.
Inform other Financial Institutions
• Contact your bank to change jointly owned bank accounts (chequing, GICs, loans) to accounts owned solely
• RRSPs can be rolled tax-free to the surviving spouse or under certain circumstances to dependent children.
• Home insurance policies and auto insurance will also need to be amended.
Probating the Will
Depending on the size and type of asset the will may need to be probated.
Probate is simply the process to validate the will so that assets can be distributed according to the will. If the home or other asset like a vehicle,
bank account are jointly owned, probate is not necessary. Mutual funds, stock portfolios, rental property will normally go through the probate process. Segregated funds and life insurance and other insurance company
products are usually paid directly to the named beneficiary, thus avoiding probate fees and delays.
Probating the will can either be done personally by going to the Provincial Registrar Office or having an attorney do it for you. For sizeable estates and assets more complicated due to tax, accounting or legal issues, a lawyer should be used.
“Letters of Administration”
If no will exists, the executor of the estate needs to apply for “Letters of Administration” through the Provincial Registrars Office. Be prepared to pay a fee for this service and expect several weeks/months delay. Having a proper and current will avoids this problem for those concerned.
Ultimately the current year’s tax return plus a “terminal” tax return will need to be filed. Consult your accountant or other financial advisor to guide you through Revenue Canada’s requirements.
Get Emotional Support
Unless you have dealt with the death of a close family member it is difficult to understand the emotional upheaval you will go through. Enlist the help of family members and close friends to work through the processes
listed above. Provincial counselling and bereavement support centers exist, and are a wonderful resource.

Activist Sonny Singh writes in The Huffington Post about the racial nuances in the George Zimmerman trial:
To really understand racism in the United States, we have to understand power. Racism is not just about attitudes; it is a system of oppression. What this means is that white people receive unearned privileges and advantaged simply because of the color of skin, while people of color are systematically disadvantaged and marginalized. That does not make the experiences of all people of color alike, nor does it mean that people of color cannot perpetuate racism, as in the case of George Zimmerman. In fact, we are often rewarded for doing so.
Sonny Singh also reflects upon the forms of bigotry that are often experienced — and perpetuated by — South Asian and Sikh culture. Read more here.

[JURIST] US Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) [official website] said Friday that Congress should write into law some of the remedies that US District Judge Gladys Kessler imposed on the tobacco industry [JURIST news archive] after finding that tobacco companies conspired to deceive the public about the dangers of smoking. Kessler ruled Thursday that the tobacco industry is liable for civil racketeering charges [JURIST report; DOJ case materials] filed against the industry by the US Department of Justice in 1999, and ordered tobacco companies [PDF text] to publish "corrective statements" concerning the dangers of smoking and affix those statements to cigarette packaging.
Philip Morris [corporate website] has announced plans to appeal the ruling [press release], and several other tobacco companies are also considering appeals. Lautenberg said that Congress should pass legislation incorporating the remedies imposed in case Kessler's ruling is overturned on appeal. Meanwhile, US Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) [official website] and public health advocates are calling for the passage of legislation that would allow the Food and Drug Administration [official website] to regulate the tobacco industry. Opponents say that the industry is already subject to strict marketing restrictions and that additional federal oversight is unnecessary. AP has more.

Waterborne micro-organisms are responsible for adverse affects on the flavour, colour, odour, and shelf life of soft drinks, bottled water and food products. It is therefore the fundamental objective of food and beverage manufacturers to eliminate micro-organisms from process water, product water and sugar solutions to overcome this problem. A wide range of Ultraviolet disinfection units have been specially designed and developed by atg UV Technology, allowing manufacturers to gain complete control over these potential contaminants, vastly reducing the risk of costly production down time, product recall or even fatality.

Diptyque was one of the first "niche" fragrance houses to edge its way into my consciousness, and I still remember the day I purchased my first bottle of L'Ombre dans L'Eau at a boutique in Philadelphia. (That was eight years ago, and I still wear L'Ombre every summer.) More recently, I wished aloud that Diptyque would create a rose-centered fragrance, and my request has been noted by the fragrance gods and goddesses: Diptyque's newest release is Eau Rose, "a totally new fragrance that pays tribute to the queen of flowers, the rose," with notes of bergamot, blackcurrant, lychee, hedione, geranium, Turkish rose, cedar, musk, and honey.
I must say that Eau Rose's label and box, with their pink-accented illustrations of trellis-climbing roses, are among the prettiest designs I've seen in a long time. They also raised my expectations before I had even smelled the fragrance itself. So, what did I think? According to the description on the Diptyque website, Eau Rose is composed to "to celebrate the multiple aromas of the flower in its natural state, as it blossoms over time." That works for me. Eau Rose begins on a fresh-flower note, with the citrus and black currant giving it a certain brightness while never translating as an obviously "fruity-floral" blend. The heart of the fragrance is a true rose accord, the kind that makes my rose-loving heart skip a beat. It's not deep or velvety or spicy; it's closer to a tea rose than I would have guessed, and it definitely evokes the winsome pink roses on the label rather than a passionate red rose. The dry down has a subdued honey note and some soft musk to keep it from turning too sweet. Eau Rose has good staying power for an Eau de Toilette, and it will be an ideal choice for a spring fragrance a few months from now.
As Victoria recently noted in her own review at Bois de Jasmin, Eau Rose isn't going to change the history of perfumery, but it does a beautiful job of recreating a freshly-picked rose from a sunny garden. I enjoy wearing it in the same way I enjoy wearing my favorites from Les Parfums de Rosine. (In the Rosine "spectrum," it would fall somewhere midway between the airy Diabolo Rose and the lusher Secrets de Rose.) And it's far superior to some of the rose-oriented perfumes that have disappointed me over the past year or so, such as Dolce & Gabbana Rose the One and L'Eau d'Issey Florale. It would be a nice step into niche perfumery for someone who has already enjoyed Stella, or a good acquisition for someone who has used up her last bottle of Creed's discontinued Fleur du Thé Rose Bulgare.
In other words, I like Eau Rose very much and I'm glad to see it join the Diptyque family. (I've heard that it will be a permanent addition, eventually packaged with the traditional Diptyque black-and-white graphics, although the related Rosa Mundi candle is limited edition.) One last note: Diptyque says that Eau Rose was inspired partially by the sixteen-century poet Pierre de Ronsard's verse “Mignonne, allons voir si la rose...", which you can read here (and here, in English translation). Enjoy!
Diptyque Eau Rose Eau de Toilette is available as an 100 ml atomizer bottle ($98, shown at top) or a 20 ml roll-on travel bottle ($48, shown just above). For purchasing information, see the listing for Diptyque under Perfume Houses.
This is a very timely review for me. For the last couple hours I have been comparing Yosh Sottile, SSS Velvet Rose, and Shiseido White Rose. Would you be able to compare it with any of those, or with DelRae Coup de Foudre? I like the idea of a rose soliflore, but many of them turn too sour on my skin, and others seem to be way too oversweetened, perhaps as an attempt at compensation.
Hi, 50! Well, let me think… YOSH Sottile is very pretty, but also has a noticeable muguet note, and doesn’t last long (on me, anyway). Coup de Foudre disappointed me, for some reason; I’d have to re-read my review to remember why! I think it just seemed a little linear and thin to me. (Perhaps sour, too?) I haven’t ever tried Shiseido White Rose, but I’d like to. And I did enjoy SSS Velvet Rose, but I think it had a geranium-like note too?
Sounds gorgeous. I do like rose, from its cheapest smells to the highest prices. Non-obvious fruit-rose. I shall try it!
Hi, Moore — It’s true, there are some really beautiful luxury rose perfumes out there, but some nice simple ones, too — I remember liking the rose perfume oil sold at C.O. Bigelow, for example!
There are so many lacklustre roses out there, so it’s good to hear that this one is good. Diptyque tend to do things rather well and I like the sound of a ” freshly-picked rose from a sunny garden”. Considered my interest piqued!
Oh, there are many sharp/flat/thin rose scents, aren’t there? Or ones that have so much citrus or lily that they don’t smell much like rose. Or ones that have “rose” in the name but no roses listed in the notes…!
Yes, it is sometimes hard to find a nice, true rose. I love both rose and Diptyque, so am really looking forward to the Australian release!
Hi, Paisley! It’s such a nice house, isn’t it? As much as I love L’Ombre dans L’Eau, I’m happy to have a more “rosey” rose fragrance from Diptyque, too.
Lovely review. I’m not a rose person, but I always enjoy reading your reviews of rose fragrances Jessica because you know the genre so well. I wonder if this latest Diptyque has found its way to Australia yet? I will swing past my local this morning and find out.
Hm, I’m not sure about Australia… the Diptyque website only covers France, the UK, and the US. I do know that not every Diptyque vendor carries it yet, even in NYC, where I saw it at the Diptyque boutiques and at Aedes but not at Barneys. So sorry I don’t know for certain!
Hi, I was wondering how this compares to Lutens’ Sa Majeste. On me the Rosines are all too fleeting. Also, many roses smell metallic on my skin…
Hi, Merlin — You know, it’s probably blasphemy to admit this, but I don’t love Sa Majeste’ La Rose. I always get a geranium note from it, and I like geranium, but something about the mix bothers me. Or maybe it’s the particular musk he used there? I think Eau Rose is more of a soliflore… it’s not trying to do anything unusual, which can be refreshing!
Not blastphemy at all: almost no ‘perfumista’ I know of likes this particular serge. To me it captures some kind of red rose aroma that nothing else does! But at least one person has said it smells soapy on me, so there!
Great review! I am looking forward to trying this.
I hope you’ll enjoy it too, Lil!
Thank you, Jessica! I am also glad that Eau Rose will join the permanent collection. It is just an uplifting, lovely rose.
Your review reminded me that I still have not tried Diabolo Rose. Is it lighter than Un Zest de Rose?
Hello, V! I prefer the Diabolo to Zeste. They’re about the same “weight,” but I enjoy the minty-sugar aspect of Diabolo much more than the lime-citrus notes of Zeste, which always turned a bit sharp on me.
Nice review, and you really make me want to sniff it. I am dicey on roses, very hit-or-miss. I tend toward the airier type, and the “winsome pink” sounds just about right.
Hi, Tama — There are so many rose fragrances out there, and many of the newer (post-Stella) ones leave me cold — but this one works for me! It’s well worth a try.
I’ve been excited about this and your review makes it sound perfect for me! Can’t wait to try it!
I hope you’ll like it, L!!
I’ve been craving some Spring scents- and this one sounds great! Thanks for the review!
Hi, Hardlyworking! They’re pushing it for Valentine’s Day, of course, but it will still be perfect for Spring and beyond! Do give it a try.
When the once provocative, BO master, cumin-laden Diptyque releases a springy rose blossom, things must be really bad for them.
Well, I doubt we’ll see another L’Autre any time soon… but they’ve also had florals like Ofresia and greens like Eau de Lierre for a while, so I’m not too shocked by this one.
I am Diptyque crazy, when I first got into these I bought like 8-9. And I treasure them so much to me they are French where I Profiumi de Firenze are so very Italian. I cannot enough. I’m still new to the niche lines what is SSS?
Can’t wait to get it at Lucky scent or beaut habit. BH has great tester kits they send out and sometimes I have gotten a purse spray from L’Artisan just for ordering. Emily and I know eachother quite well by now. She even writes down new ones I would like. Yeah for DIPTYQUE.
Hi, Sarah — Hope you’ll get a chance to try Eau Rose, then!
SSS is Sonoma Scent Studio, a very small (one-woman!) company based in northern California.
I’m glad you reviewed this, Jessica. I was going to assume it was too “pink,” but it sounds like it would be very enjoyable to wear. I will certainly sample!
This review brings tears to my eyes. My body chemistry does not project rose notes at all, they either disappear or turn sweet and migrainey. I loved Addict 2 but did not last, loved and hated Voleur de Roses – still owning it but using very, very sparingly – and love the now discontinued Tumulte by Christian Lacroix. Les Rosines give me a massive headache every one of them, no matter how light airy and beautiful they start.
Stella McCartney is fine, provided it’s the elixir not the EDT.
Maybe this one would work. Phylosikos disappears within half an hour, and it was one I really really wanted to like.
Any ideas Jessica – or fellow readers – would be very welcome.
Does anyone know a rose fragrance for men, rather on the light and bright side. I tried Rose31 from Le Labo (too much cumin) and all the male roses from Parfums de Rosine and quite liked Rosissimo which is more citrusy. Any other ideas? The only one I can think of is Hippie Rose by Heeley which I haven’t smelled yet.
I just purchased this! Can’t wait for it arrive. I live in a neighborhood known for it’s lovely rose gardens and look forward to enjoying this scent.
I’m waiting for Nordstrom triple points (Sept 12) and then I will buy this also. Just love it and rose gardens to. I’m counting down the days and can’t wait either. Been using my sample and already had compliments.
Just tried this today. Nordstrom is having a GWP next weekend for Diptyque so I was thinking it’d be a great time to buy something. I’ve had my eye on Volutes, but spring is almost here…
On initial spray, I thought to myself “Lychee!” I love lychee ever since I had it fresh in Hawaii, so it’s nice to find it in a perfume. Of course the rose is also there and I don’t find it too sweet. I looked up this review and saw the notes starting with “bergamot, blackcurrant, lychee” – yes, exactly, that’s what I smell, in reverse order. It also brings to mind Diptyque’s L’Ombre dans L’Eau (which I don’t like because it’s too green/tomato plant-y), but that freshness is nice mixed here with the rose. We’ll see how long it lasts and what the drydown is like.

Exotic Metals Forming, a privately owned aerospace supplier headquartered in Kent with about 1,400 employees in Washington state, will be acquired for $1.7 billion in cash by Parker Hannifin, a large industrial company based in Cleveland, Ohio.
Exotic specializes in producing precisely engineered, high-strength, low-weight metal parts, typically made from titanium and nickel alloys. Its products include aircraft engine components and fuel and hydraulic tubes that can withstand high temperature and pressure.
Parker said it plans to have Exotic Metals operate as a standalone division within Parker’s Aerospace Group. Exotic’s chief executive, Bill Binder, and his staff will stay on to run the company.
The deal is the latest in a wave of consolidation in the aerospace supplier market that has seen many smaller companies swallowed by larger ones or by private equity firms.
Several huge mergers added to the trend last year, with Safran paying $9 billion for Zodiac Aerospace, including a string of Zodiac subsidiaries in Washington state, and United Technologies buying Rockwell Collins for $30 billion. In March, TransDigm paid $4 billion in cash for Bellevue-based Esterline. And United Technologies has a pending merger with Raytheon to create a giant aerospace supplier with annual revenue of $74 billion.
Parker is a 102-year-old company with $14 billion in annual revenue, of which about $2.5 billion is from aerospace, including flight control actuators, fuel and hydraulic systems and engine components.
Exotic is a leader in its field of metal forming. It’s been growing quickly, with about $450 million in annual revenue and a profit margin before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of 30%.
Exotic produces complex parts for the F-35 jet fighter engine and for the geared turbofan engine that powers the Airbus A320, making engine-maker Pratt & Whitney its largest customer. It also makes tubes and exhaust nozzles for the LEAP engine on the Boeing 737 MAX.
“They tackle all the highly specialized, hard-to-make stuff,” said Parker chief executive Tom Williams on a call with Wall Street analysts to discuss the acquisition.
Parker’s director of communications, Aidan Gormley, said the acquisition isn’t about cutting costs but is a strategic move to strengthen the company’s engine component business in particular. And he said Parker can help Exotic expand.
“It’s a growth opportunity for us,” Gormley said. “And because we’re supplying major systems to lots of aircraft companies, it’s an opportunity to introduce Exotic parts to other Parker customers in the aftermarket.”
The acquisition has been approved by the boards of both companies and is expected to close by October, subject to regulatory approval.

BLUES: Delta Style, BLUES: Funky Blues
Delta Roux features the creative talents of slide guitarist Harry Bodine and vocalist Mike Milligan. These two Austin musicians have combined the roots sound of Delta Blues, Memphis Soul and New Orleans funk.
New Orleans News Magazine
Well, they're from Austin, but you would think they were from New Orleans with all the soul they have. Steel and slide guitar by Harry Bodine meld perfectly with Mike Milligan's bluesy vocals, and what results is a mature sound that says they've been around the block a few times. The lyrics, too, emit pangs of a musician's jadedness on certain tracks like, "Can't Live Without It." ("Another night/Another club/ Another line across my face"). The concepts are simple but sincere, the playing not fancy but tight. This is a good record to play when you hang out by the levee.
"Swampy blues tunes that have soul and balls...............Texas Beat Magazine
"Delta Roux plays blues with a difference, a musical gumbo that fuses delta blues, R&B, and New Orleans funk. Stinging slide guitar and passionate vocals create a sound that's hard to resist."..............................San Antonio Express

Delaware is a beautiful state. This is especially true in the summer when many people take advantage of the sandy beaches, boardwalks, restaurants, parks, hiking, and other activities. However, this does not come without a price. As the beach communities bustle with tourists and cars the inevitable result is an increase in auto accidents that lead to personal injury.
According to the Delaware Office of Highway Safety, there were a total of 29,713 crashes in Delaware in 2020. Of these, 2,177 involved alcohol-impaired drivers, and 15,414 resulted in injuries. However, it’s in the summer months when Delaware sees higher rates of car accidents due to increased travel and more people on the roads. This is especially true in beach communities such as Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, Dewey Beach, Fenwick Island, South Bethany Beach, North Bethany Beach, and Lewes Beach.
There are many reasons for the increase in auto accidents and personal injuries during the summer months. They include:
- Increased traffic due to tourists and vacationers
- Poorly maintained roads due to increased wear and tear from the summer season
- Impaired driving due to alcohol or drug use
It’s important to be aware of these factors when traveling in Delaware during the summer months, especially in beach communities. By taking a few simple precautions, you can help ensure your safety and reduce the likelihood of severe injury in an accident. These include:
- Wearing a seat belt at all times
- Being aware of your surroundings and other drivers on the road
- Driving within the speed limit and following traffic laws
- Avoiding distractions such as texting or talking on the phone
- Refraining from drinking and driving.
If you are injured in an auto accident, it’s important to contact a Delaware personal injury attorney as soon as possible for help. An experienced attorney can assist with filing a claim against the at-fault party so that you can be fully compensated for any medical bills or other damages resulting from the accident.
What Do I Do If I Am In A Car Accident?
If you are in an auto accident, the first thing to do is to stay calm and assess any injuries. If you or someone else is injured, call 911 immediately. Once you’ve been able to assess the situation, take photos and exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver. This includes:
- Driver’s name, address, and phone number
- Insurance carrier and policy number
- License plate numbers of all vehicles involved in the accident
- Photos and videos of the accident scene
It’s important to document as much information as possible about the scene of the accident including any witnesses and their names.
You should also contact a Delaware personal injury attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal rights and options. An experienced lawyer can help you understand the process and ensure that your rights are protected.
In Delaware, if the accident involves injury, death, or property damage of $500 or more, you are required to report the accident to the police within 24 hours. Failure to report an accident may result in fines or other legal consequences. Additionally, Delaware is a “fault” state, meaning that the person who is found to be at fault for the accident is responsible for paying for the damages.
What Will A Personal Injury Attorney Do For Me After A Car Accident?
If you have been involved in a car accident in Delaware, a personal injury lawyer can provide you with legal representation and help you navigate the legal process to seek compensation for your injuries and damages. Here are some of the things a personal injury lawyer can do for you:
- Negotiate with the insurance companies to secure a fair amount of compensation
- Invest the accident, collect evidence, identify any responsible parties
- File legal documents and paperwork on your behalf
- Represent you in court if necessary
- Advise you on the best course of action for your case.
The attorneys at Schmittinger & Rodriguez are experienced in representing clients who have been injured in car accidents and can provide you with the legal advice and representation that you need. We understand that navigating the legal system can be difficult and we are here to help you every step of the way. Contact us today for a free consultation. We look forward to helping you get the compensation you deserve.

HONG KONG SAR – 21 October 2022 –Nespresso is proud to present RE:FARM, a limited-time, experiential showcase that highlights the full circular journey of coffee – from capsule to cup to the dining table – all under one roof. RE:FARM will run from September 2022 to June 2023 and consumers can personally see, touch, and taste the results of the Nespresso‘s sustainability efforts. The program is the result of a partnership between Nespresso, K11 and Common Farms, a local indoor agri-tech farm, and is aligned with the sustainability initiatives of parent group Nestlé SA and its commitment to unlock the power of food to enhance quality of life for everyone, today and for generations to come.
Nespresso has always done things a certain way. Not the easiest way, not the quickest. But the right way. Since its inception over 30 years ago, Nespresso has remained steadfastly committed to making a difference in the world, and sustainability has become a crucial component of its business today. By embedding transformative actions throughout its value chain, such as regenerative agriculture, eco-design, recycling, and circularity, Nespresso strives to bring positive impact to all its stakeholders, from farmers and business partners to consumers. In 2022, Nespresso was certified as a B Corp and joined a global movement of companies doing business responsibly and transparently while maintaining high sustainability standards.
From Capsule to Cup to Table (and back!) – A Circular Journey
At RE:FARM, visitors have a unique opportunity to witness Nespresso‘s sustainable circular system in action. An on-site recycler separates coffee capsules from the coffee grounds and recycles the aluminum to make second life products. Meanwhile, Nespresso‘s composter turns spent coffee grounds into rich nutrients that will be used to bring life to new produce. Composted coffee grounds serve as an excellent fertilizer and offer numerous benefits in farming, such as improved soil drainage, water retention, and aeration. They also acidify the soil, acting as a natural repellent that deters pests from damaging crops. RE:FARM uses this compost to grow a variety of herbs, microgreens, and edible flowers within self-contained farming units, which are later harvested and sent to selected Nespresso partner restaurants in K11 MUSEA and Rosewood Hong Kong, including Asaya Kitchen, Chaat, Deng G, Yung’s Bistro, and other dining establishments that will be joining the project over its nine-month run. As part of the RE:FARM experience, customers are invited to savor the products of Nespresso‘s circular journey through delicious microgreens and herbs harvested from RE:FARM in specially designed menus available at participating restaurants.
Through a journey that sees resources travel from farm to capsule to cup, and back to the farm, Nespresso‘s own circular economy aims to transform the “take-make-waste” model into a sustainable system that maintains value and minimizes waste.
Nespresso hopes to leave visitors with a new understanding and appreciation for circularity through RE:FARM, where end-of-life materials are reimagined and reused as resources rather than waste. In promoting restoration and regeneration, Nespresso continues to hold fast to its commitment to create long-term, positive impact in the world.
Coffee as a Force for Good
Nespresso‘s sustainability journey continues to evolve in new and innovative ways. Through inspiring initiatives such as RE:FARM and an unwavering determination to continuously maximize its positive impact, the company remains committed to caring for communities, the climate, and circularity with the same dedication and passion that goes into every cup of Nespresso coffee. Because it is the right thing to do.
Located adjacent to Nespresso‘s existing K11 MUSEA store, RE:FARM will be open from September 2022 to June 2023. For further details and workshop reservations, please visit the RE:FARM website.

Digital World (NASDAQ:DWAC) has once again pushed its special meeting to vote on a one-year transaction deadline extension to Thursday, November 3.
This three-and-a-half week postponement is an unusually long one, but is unsurprising in for what has become one of the most unusual deal processes in years. For one, this is the fifth postponement of this very meeting, as Digital World adjourned it without conducting any business four earlier times in September.
Digital World’s sponsor has already deposited $0.10 per share to extend its deadline to December 8, and the SPAC is trading well above pro rata trust value, last closing at $17.32. So, the concern at this stage is not about a possible liquidation or attempts to keep in redeemers.
Instead, Digital World and its proposed combination with Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) are facing a long SEC review process as well as changes to its $1 billion PIPE. The outside date for the deal’s PIPE passed on September 20, and investors representing $138.5 million of this amount have already hit the exits.
Remaining PIPE investors have reportedly been seeking a lower conversion price for the preferred stock they receive in the mechanism, and negotiations appear to be ongoing. As such, Digital World may have already anticipated postponing this meeting again with the goal of asking for the full-year extension once the new terms of the PIPE have been settled and secured.
As if that were not enough plates to have spinning, billionaire Elon Musk has brought a new layer of uncertainty by reviving his bid to buy out Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). Aside from being TMTG’s most direct competitor, a major part of TMTG’s raison d’etre was the banning of former President and TMTG Chairman Donald Trump from connecting to his huge following on the platform.
Musk has been vocal in supporting various figures that have been banned from social media platforms, and it is widely speculated that a Musk-owned Twitter would allow Trump back on. And while Trump has already stated he would not go back to Twitter, Trump has been known to change his mind. If such were to pass, TMTG would no longer have an exclusive hold on its biggest draw.
There is plenty of uncertainty around what will happen with Musk’s Twitter bid, which has court dates and debt investor meetings of its own set to play out in the coming weeks. Digital World is likely hoping things will be clearer with both Twitter and the PIPE by November 3.
Then again, the SEC has yet to announce its final proposed rule changes for SPACs and the US has midterm elections set for November 8, with control of Congress potentially in the balance. This could have its own affects on TMTG. As such, a sixth postponement of this meeting would likely not shock SPACland.

Ericsson and Singtel have announced that they are planning to launch a pilot 5G programme in Singapore. It will be the country’s first ever 5G network.
Part of the Ericsson and Singtel 5G Centre of Excellence Programme, the network will be rolled out at one-north in Buona Vista, the country’s science, business and IT hub, by the fourth quarter of this year.
Using Ericsson’s 3GPP 5G technology with the trial spectrum allocated by Singapore’s Info-Communications Media Development Authority (IMDA), the pilot network will deliver 5G coverage with enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) speed and low latency.
Ericsson and Singtel have said that they plan to use the network to conduct drone trials later this year, demonstrating how 5G can be used in the deployment of augmented, mixed reality and connected drones.
Aileen Chia, deputy chief executive and director-general of telecoms and post at IMDA, said:
“This is an encouraging step towards commercialisation with live 5G trial networks made possible with the regulatory sandbox IMDA has in place. IMDA will continue to work closely with mobile service providers such as Singtel in their journey to build communication capabilities of the future and complement Singapore’s efforts towards a vibrant digital economy.”

This is the latest effort to make 5G a reality. Several companies are trialling the technology across the globe with the recent announcement that telecommunications company Ooredoo has launched the first commercial 5G network in the world is now operational across 50 sites in Qatar. Last month, EE also announced that it would be starting 5G trials in the UK in October.
Head of Ericsson Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines Martin Wiktorin said:
“5G represents a key mobile technology evolution, opening up new possibilities and applications. We believe that 5G will play a key role in the digital transformation of the Singapore economy. Demonstrating the possibilities in this showcase event will be a catalyst for engagements with Singapore enterprises.”
Impact on business
Promising download speeds far faster than is currently available, as well as wider coverage and more reliable connectivity, 5G has a lot to live up to.
The faster speeds and the fact that more devices to be connected simultaneously will undoubtedly have an impact on consumers and businesses, and as is becoming increasingly crucial, on Internet of Things networks.
The economic impact could be significant, with research firm IHS Markit predicting that 5G could generate $12.3tr in global revenue across different industries by 2035, and could support 22 million jobs around the world.
According to Ericsson and Singtel, industries such as transportation, healthcare and manufacturing can use 5G to accelerate digital transformation and deploy advanced automation technologies.
With organisations increasingly relying on the ability to transfer large quantities of data and cloud-based services, the improved capabilities of 5G will undoubtedly be welcomed. Furthermore, low latency has the potential to transform virtual Interactions and remote working, especially key considering that half of workers in the US will be working remotely by 2020.
5G could also drive innovation. According to a research project commissioned by Qualcomm, 91% of the study’s respondents feel that 5G will enable new products and services that have yet to be invented.
However, businesses can’t access 5G yet
However, although 5G offers many theoretical benefits, in practice it may be more complex.
Although it is estimated that most countries will have access to 5G networks by 2020, rollout of 5G will involve an expensive upgrading project. Currently, only 40% of cell sites across Western and Eastern Europe are fibre connected, meaning that the infrastructure needed to widely distribute 5G simply does not exist yet.
Adapting to a new network standard requires cooperation between hardware manufactures and network providers, as well as overcoming regulatory barriers, so it could be a while before 5G is standard.
Owner of telecommunications consultancy company CCG Consulting Doug Dawson told Government Technology:
“Nobody is going to go straight to the 5G standard, last year they finally started using the [full] 4G. We will start seeing some radios as soon as next year with a little bit of 5G in them, but they will just be improved 4G. It takes them about seven years on average to implement the standards.”
5G’s impact will vary by location
The extent 5G will impact business will inevitably differ from industry to industry, but could also be largely dependent on location. There is no guarantee that it will be possible to access 5G everywhere even when it has been rolled out, so universal coverage may be a long way off.
Furthermore, security is another aspect of 5G that businesses need to consider. According to a survey by Ericsson, 79% of survey respondents said concerns around data security and privacy were a barrier for their business adopting 5G. 76% were also concerned about a lack of standards.
The transition to 5G will also cost money. Investing in 5G-enabled devices, as well as infrastructure and hardware, could mean that big business will initially benefit most, with smaller businesses finding it harder to absorb the cost of updating.
CEO of British telecommunications and internet service provider Three David Dyson told technology website ZDNet:
“Everyone loves to talk about autonomous cars, robotics and remote surgery, and things like that. It sounds good, but in reality it’s still some way away, and certainly I wouldn’t build a business case off that to justify the investment in 5G. For us there is an immediate uplift in capacity that we can take advantage of because it gives us room to grow.”
Overall, it is difficult to argue that businesses won’t benefit from higher quality, faster speeds, wider coverage that the next generation of mobile technology offers. However, it could be a while before businesses reap the full benefits of a 5G network.

Not long after I began working at Studio 2108, the owners of the Great Forest Park Balloon Race came to us with this project. They had a very old web site. For such an awesome event full of life and color, their current web site just didn’t convey the grandeur of the event … at all.
With the event being what it was, we were very excited to be part of it, and our first order of business was to sit down and come up with a design and experience that was worthy and reflective of this great St. Louis tradition.
At that time parallax scrolling web sites were just coming around and showing up on all the cool award winning sites so we thought it would be PERFECT for this event.
So we rolled up our sleeves and began conceptualizing not only a great design but also a functional experience that left the visitor with just a little taste of the awe they would experience at the race itself.
We didn’t just stop there. I built a custom log in system for the pilots. This way they could update their profiles and event needs instantly. Which was a big help to management that previously relied on paper applications and numerous phone calls.
If that wasn’t enough, I drew up plans to create a 3D representation of the Event Itself. I took pictures at the event to get a good idea of where things were and what those things looked like. I created the textured in Photoshop. I modeled the items in Blender. And set up the scene in Unity.
We didn’t stop there either. Later I wrote a custom app that integrated with Google Maps. Visitors could go to balloontracker.net and see the locations of the balloons in the event. The balloons themselves were represented with custom icons that showed the sponsors logo. As the balloons took flight visitors could track all their locations and see where each landed. It gave them more time to continue as spectators after the balloons were up and out of sight.
The Great Forest Park Balloon Race continues to be fun a fantastic project that I feel blessed to be a part of. Although it started in 2012 it continues to be a exciting project that I love working on.

I find inspiration in all things and my style springs from the places, people, experiences, and trends I love. Never a shrinking violet, I've been known to make a statement and whether you are the giver or receiver of my items, you'll be making a statement too.
I started to crochet when I was pregnant out of fear of needing something to do should I be on bed rest, and I fell in love with it becase it allows me to be completely distracted in the chaotic world of raising twin daughters.
I love to make pieces of jewelry and hair accessories too, which is partially why my husband's "office space" now includes a sewing machine, a mannequin, and all of my supplies.

Definición de osmotic pressure en inglés:
The pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis, often used to express the concentration of the solution.
- The driving force for the osmotic pressure is the higher concentration of sodium ions in the beads than in the outside water.
- If a U-shaped glass tube were divided in two by a semipermeable membrane and filled with two solutions the osmotic pressure could be shown.
- The glucose osmotic pressure in solution with water is proportional to the glucose concentration in the outer solution.

The garden stakes remain upright and vertical eliminating the need to replant and reinsert the stake. Eliminating the necessity to replant is particularly important when it is aesthetically or physically impractical to replant. If replanting is necessary, the present invention facilitates the removal of the plant by simply pulling out the garden stake. As the root ball is intertwined with the anchor, the plant will be removed with the stake.
Our garden stake has been to provide a versatile, rigid plant support which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to install and easy to use.
Another object of the garden stake is to provide a rigid attachment to the upright support, improving stability without major disturbance to the surrounding plant life or root system. The radically-expanding feet provide improved mechanical support for the stake or support so that garden stake will remain in an upright position.
Another objective to provide a garden stake which may be of varying heights is simple to use and which requires a minimum of tools to assemble and install.
Another objective is to provide a device which does not adversely affect or detract from the beauty of the plant being supported.
By using metals, plastics or wood products in its construction, the invention satisfies another objective of this invention by using materials which are inert and will not adversely affect plant growth on chemical reaction with the soil.
The garden stake of the present invention includes a support, which may be a cylindrical tube. The support is maintained in an upright vertical position by an anchor. The anchor has legs which expand radically when the anchor is inserted into the ground.
