What’s the story?
- The U.S. Treasury Department is imposing fresh economic sanctions on five "entities" and 19 individuals for interfering in the 2016 presidential election and for conducting a series of cyberattacks.
What does it matter?
- Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said in a statement:
"The Administration is confronting and countering malign Russian cyber activity, including their attempted interference in U.S. elections, destructive cyber-attacks, and intrusions targeting critical infrastructure. These targeted sanctions are a part of a broader effort to address the ongoing nefarious attacks emanating from Russia."
The sanctions target the "Internet Research Agency," including the individuals special counsel Robert Mueller indicted last month for “trolling” the 2016 election.
Treasury officials added that their department "continues to pressure Russia for its ongoing efforts to destabilize Ukraine, occupy Crimea, meddle in elections, as well as for its endemic corruption and human rights abuses."
This move comes the same week that UN ambassador Nikki Haley criticized Moscow for chemical strikes in Syria, and the U.S. and its allies censure Russia for a nerve agent attack against a former Russian intelligence officer in Britain.

HMRC have just published an updated list of ‘named tax avoidance schemes, promoters, enablers and suppliers’. There are four new additions:
- Countrywide Partners Limited
- Industria PAYE Limited
- Pure Invoicing Limited
- U R Group Limited
There are now 11 companies on the list in total, and the latter 3 added today (Industria, Pure and UR) are in the process of insolvency.
Recruitment agencies and end-clients should be paying attention to this list, and should be worried if any names are familiar. In particular, the ‘tax avoidance’ firms listed who are in the insolvency process means there is an opportunity for HMRC to pursue others in the supply chain for any unrecovered liabilities due.
In addition, the Criminal Finances Act means that agencies or other intermediaries could potentially be found guilty of failing to prevent tax evasion by the companies on the list. Ignorance is no defence and won’t stop anyone found guilty facing a potentially unlimited fine, criminal record and untold reputational damage.
Protect yourself from becoming unknowingly victim to a scheme by always doing your own due diligence when choosing an ‘umbrella’ or other payment company. Don’t just rely on agency PSLs or recommendations as these might not actually be in your best interests.
Given the regular updates to HMRC’s list, anyone running such schemes should definitely be worried!

text: Born in Ireland, William Marsden (1754–1836) was a pioneer in the study of oriental languages, in particular those of modern-day Malaysia and Indonesia. At the age of seventeen he joined his elder brother to work for the East India Company in Sumatra, and began researching the languages of the East Indies. He moved to London in 1779 and became associated with its scientific and academic circles, attending meetings of the Royal Society and becoming a friend of Sir Joseph Banks. This gave him access to vocabularies compiled by naval officers, and these, combined with his own observations, allowed him to produce the pioneering works that made his reputation. (His History of Sumatra and Dictionary of the Malayan Language are also reissued in this series.) First published in 1796, this work helped to fuel the growing interest in languages and philology at the turn of the nineteenth century.

It's every parent's nightmare - you spend days, weeks, even months trying to teach your little one how to use the potty, and then one day you discover that all your efforts have been in vain. That's exactly what happened to me recently when I attempted Potty Training 101. After a lot of hard work, tears, and frustration, I had to admit defeat and accept that my child was not ready for the challenge. In this blog post, I'll share my journey with you and explain why it didn't work out.
Why Potty Training is a Milestone
Potty training. It's a milestone that every parent anxiously awaits. The thought of your little one finally ditching the diapers and using the toilet independently is a dream come true. It represents growth, independence, and a step towards becoming a "big kid." But why is potty training considered such a significant milestone?
First and foremost, potty training marks a major developmental leap for your child. It signifies their increasing ability to control their bodily functions and signals a growing understanding of their own needs. The transition from relying on diapers to using the toilet is a tangible demonstration of their growing independence and maturity.
Moreover, potty training fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence in your child. Successfully using the toilet becomes a source of pride and empowerment. They begin to realize that they are capable of achieving something significant on their own. This boost in self-esteem carries over into other areas of their life, setting the stage for future successes and challenges.
Potty training is also a practical milestone that brings convenience and cost savings. Saying goodbye to diapers means saying goodbye to endless diaper changes and expensive diaper purchases. Not to mention, potty-trained children tend to have fewer diaper rashes and related health issues. It's a win-win situation for both parents and children.
Additionally, potty training facilitates social interactions and smooth transitions. Many childcare facilities and preschools require children to be potty trained before they can enroll. Mastering this skill ensures that your child is ready for new educational opportunities and can participate fully in various activities without any setbacks or hindrances.
Finally, potty training is a crucial step in teaching your child basic hygiene practices. By learning to use the toilet, they develop an understanding of cleanliness and good hygiene habits. This foundation in hygiene will serve them well throughout their lives, promoting health and preventing potential complications.
The Method I Chose
After researching various potty training methods and reading countless success stories, I decided to embark on my potty training journey armed with the "3 Day Method." This approach seemed promising, as it promised to have your child completely potty trained within three days. It sounded too good to be true, but I was willing to give it a shot.
The premise of the method was simple. For three consecutive days, you commit to staying home and focusing solely on potty training. No outings, no distractions. Just you, your child, and a lot of patience. The idea was to create a consistent routine that would help your child understand the concept of using the potty and build good habits.
On the first day, I eagerly set up a designated potty training area in the bathroom with a small potty chair, enticing books about potty training, and some fun stickers and rewards. I explained to my child that we were going to try something new and exciting, and they seemed genuinely excited to give it a go.
We began with frequent potty breaks every 20-30 minutes, followed by lots of praise and rewards for any success, no matter how small. I was filled with optimism as my child successfully used the potty a couple of times throughout the day. It seemed like we were off to a great start.
However, as the days went on, things started to unravel. My child became resistant to sitting on the potty and would hold it in until they couldn't anymore, resulting in accidents. The once eager and excited attitude turned into frustration and tears. It was clear that the "3 Day Method" wasn't working for us.
I realized that every child is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to potty training. What may work wonders for one child may not work at all for another. It was a hard pill to swallow, but I had to accept that this method wasn't the right fit for my child.
In the end, the method I chose may have been a failure, but it taught me an invaluable lesson - to listen to my child's cues and adapt my approach accordingly. Potty training is a journey that requires flexibility, patience, and a willingness to try different methods until you find what works best for your child.
So, it's back to the drawing board for us. We will regroup, research different methods, and approach potty training with a fresh perspective. I am confident that with time and perseverance, my child will eventually conquer this milestone.
Week One: Optimism and Frustration
During the first week of my potty training journey, I was filled with optimism and hope. Armed with the "3 Day Method," I believed that we were on the path to success. I eagerly set up a designated potty training area in the bathroom, complete with a colorful potty chair, enticing books about potty training, and some fun stickers and rewards. It was an inviting and exciting space for my child to explore and learn.
With enthusiasm and determination, we started our potty training adventure. Every 20-30 minutes, we would take a potty break, hoping for success. I cheered and praised my child for every small victory, no matter how insignificant it seemed. And to my delight, there were a few successful trips to the potty during that first day. I couldn't help but think that we were off to a great start.
But as the days went on, frustration began to seep in. My child, once eager and excited, started to resist sitting on the potty. They would hold it in, determined not to use the potty until they absolutely couldn't hold it anymore. And as a result, accidents started to happen. It felt like we were taking one step forward and two steps back.
I tried to remain patient and understanding, reminding myself that accidents were a normal part of the potty training process. But it was difficult not to feel discouraged and frustrated. I wondered what I was doing wrong. Was I pushing too hard? Was I not being consistent enough? Doubt and self-blame started to creep in, overshadowing my initial optimism.
Despite the setbacks and accidents, I tried my best to stay positive. I continued to encourage and support my child, reminding them that accidents happen and that it's all a part of the learning process. Deep down, I knew that potty training takes time and that setbacks are a natural part of the journey. But it was still hard to shake off the frustration and disappointment.
As the first week came to an end, I couldn't help but reflect on the challenges we had faced. Optimism and frustration were tightly intertwined, making the journey a rollercoaster of emotions. But I reminded myself that this was just the beginning. Potty training is a process, and it's not always smooth sailing. I knew that I had to persevere, learn from the experience, and continue to adapt my approach.
Little did I know that the next week would bring its own set of challenges and surprises.
Week Two: Regressions and Accidents
Week Two of our potty training journey brought with it a whole new set of challenges and surprises. After the initial excitement and progress of the first week, I was hopeful that we were on the right track. However, it didn't take long for regressions and accidents to shake my confidence and test my patience.
At the beginning of the second week, my child's resistance to using the potty seemed to escalate. They would flat-out refuse to sit on the potty chair, and when they did, it was evident that they were holding it in, waiting until they absolutely couldn't anymore. This resulted in more accidents than successes, leaving me frustrated and questioning what I was doing wrong.
It was a rollercoaster of emotions as we experienced regressions that felt like we were taking steps backward instead of forward. The accidents became more frequent, and it seemed like all the progress we had made in the first week had been erased. It was disheartening, to say the least.
I tried to remain patient and understanding, reminding myself that regressions are a normal part of the potty training process. But it was difficult not to feel defeated and question my abilities as a parent. I wondered if I had pushed too hard or if I wasn't providing enough consistency. Doubt started to creep in, and it took all my strength to push it aside.
In the midst of the regressions and accidents, I found myself reevaluating our approach. Maybe the "3 Day Method" wasn't the best fit for my child. It became clear that potty training required a more personalized approach, tailored to their individual needs and readiness. I realized that I needed to listen to my child's cues more attentively and adapt my methods accordingly.
Week Two taught me that potty training is not a linear journey. It has its ups and downs, twists and turns. It's a process that requires resilience and flexibility. Although I had hoped for smoother sailing, I had to accept that setbacks were part of the learning experience.
Despite the challenges of Week Two, I reminded myself to focus on the progress we had made rather than dwelling on the setbacks. Every accident was a learning opportunity for both of us. I continued to offer encouragement and support to my child, reassuring them that accidents happen and that we would keep trying.
As we approached Week Three, I knew that burnout and defeat were looming. But I also knew that this journey wasn't over. I refused to let setbacks define our experience.
Week Three: Burnout and Defeat
Week Three of our potty training journey was filled with burnout and defeat. After two weeks of ups and downs, regressions and accidents, I found myself emotionally drained and questioning whether we would ever succeed. It felt like no matter how hard I tried or how much effort I put into it, potty training remained elusive.
The frustration and exhaustion were palpable. I felt like I was hitting a wall, and my child's resistance to using the potty only seemed to intensify. Every attempt ended in tears and accidents, leaving both of us feeling defeated. I couldn't help but wonder what I was doing wrong. Was I not being patient enough? Was I pushing too hard? It seemed like no matter what I did, nothing was working.
As the burnout set in, I had to take a step back and reassess the situation. I realized that my child's readiness for potty training was not aligned with my expectations. I had been so eager to achieve this milestone that I overlooked the signs that they weren't quite ready. I had let my own desire for success overshadow my child's individual needs.
Accepting defeat was a bitter pill to swallow. It was hard to come to terms with the fact that my child wasn't ready for potty training yet. But I had to remind myself that every child is different and develops at their own pace. Just because my friend's child mastered potty training in three days didn't mean that it was a guarantee for mine.
Week Three taught me the importance of patience and listening to my child's cues. It reminded me that forcing a milestone before they are ready can do more harm than good. I needed to shift my focus from achieving immediate success to supporting my child's development at their own pace.
In the face of burnout and defeat, I had to remind myself that setbacks are a normal part of the journey. Potty training is not a linear process, and there will be ups and downs along the way. It requires resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to try different approaches until we find what works best for my child.
Although Week Three brought feelings of burnout and defeat, it also served as a valuable learning experience. It forced me to reevaluate my expectations and approach to potty training. It reminded me to prioritize my child's needs and readiness above all else. And most importantly, it taught me that failure is not the end but an opportunity to grow and learn.
The Aftermath: Lessons Learned
The aftermath of my failed attempt at potty training was a mix of disappointment, frustration, and a whole lot of self-reflection. It was a hard pill to swallow, accepting that my child wasn't ready for this milestone. But through this experience, I learned some valuable lessons that will shape my approach moving forward.
First and foremost, I learned the importance of patience. Potty training is not a race or a competition. Each child develops at their own pace, and pushing them before they're ready can do more harm than good. It's crucial to listen to their cues, observe their readiness signs, and respect their individual journey.
I also learned that there is no one-size-fits-all method for potty training. What works wonders for one child may not work at all for another. It's important to be flexible and willing to try different approaches until we find what resonates with our child. Every child is unique, and their potty training journey should reflect that.
Another lesson I learned is to trust my instincts as a parent. There is an abundance of advice and methods out there, but ultimately, I know my child best. It's important to have confidence in my own judgment and make decisions based on what I believe is best for my child and our family.
Additionally, I learned the power of persistence and resilience. Potty training is a challenging journey, filled with setbacks and regressions. But giving up is not an option. It's important to persevere, even when things get tough. Celebrate every small success along the way, and don't let setbacks define the overall experience.
Lastly, I learned the importance of self-compassion. As parents, we tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves to get everything right. But the reality is, we are all human, and we will make mistakes. It's okay to accept failure and acknowledge that we're doing the best we can. Potty training is just one milestone in a lifetime of learning and growth.
In the aftermath of my failed attempt at potty training, I've come to realize that it's not about the destination, but rather the journey. It's about being present, patient, and adaptable. With these lessons in mind, I'm ready to embrace the next chapter of our potty training journey with a fresh perspective and renewed determination. Failure is not the end; it's an opportunity to learn and grow.
Moving Forward: Accepting Failure and Trying AgainAfter the disappointment of my failed attempt at potty training, I found myself at a crossroads. I had to accept the fact that my child wasn't ready for this milestone and that I needed to regroup and try again. It wasn't an easy pill to swallow, but I realized that failure is not the end; it's an opportunity to learn and grow.
Moving forward, I knew I had to embrace acceptance and self-compassion. Potty training is not a race, and every child develops at their own pace. Instead of comparing my child's progress to others, I needed to focus on their unique journey. I needed to be patient and trust that they would reach this milestone when they were truly ready.
It was also important for me to try different approaches. I had to let go of the idea that there was a one-size-fits-all method for potty training. Every child is different, and what works for one may not work for another. I had to be flexible and adapt my approach to fit my child's needs and temperament.
Resilience was key in moving forward. Setbacks and regressions are a normal part of the potty training process. Instead of letting them discourage me, I had to view them as learning opportunities. I needed to persevere, even when things got tough, and celebrate every small success along the way. Failure was not an option; I had to keep trying and learning from my mistakes.
Above all, I needed to trust my instincts as a parent. There is an abundance of advice out there, but I know my child best. I had to have confidence in my own judgment and make decisions based on what I believed was best for my child and our family. It was important for me to find a balance between listening to expert advice and following my own intuition.
Moving forward meant accepting failure and embracing the journey ahead. Potty training is just one milestone in a lifetime of learning and growth. With acceptance, flexibility, resilience, and trust in my own abilities, I was ready to embark on the next chapter of our potty training adventure. Failure is not the end; it's an opportunity to grow and try again.

On Wednesday Africa started the COVID-19 trial vaccine, as volunteers, though nervous received the injections. On the other hand, officials said the continent, which consist of 1.3 billion people won’t be left out.
The trial vaccine which was produced in large-scale was developed at the University of Oxford in Britain and trials are being conducted in Britain, South Africa and Brazil.
South Africa has more confirmed in Africa cases, with close to one-third number of more than 106,000, including 2,100 more deaths. They reported late Tuesday the biggest one-day death toll of 111.
“I feel a little bit scared but I want to know what is going on with this vaccine so that I can tell my friends and others what is going on with the study,” one of the volunteers, Junior Mhlongo, stated in Johannesburg.
Due to the relax restrictions, Africa now has nearly 325,000 cases, as they under go economic pressure from citizens who need to go out to fend and feed their families.
There are also reports of shortage of testing materials and medical supplies. This remains a problem as Africa could become the next Corona virus hot spot.


VN2000 Hot Tap Insertion
The VN2000 Hot Tap Insertion Vortex Flow Meter measures the volumetric flow, mass flow rate or BTU/energy of steam, gas or liquids over a large flow range. The meter is a heavy duty design engineered to stand up to the most abusive environments inside and outside the pipe.
|Connections||1 1/2" NPT, ASME/ANSI 150, 300 flanged|
|Pipe sizes||DN50 - DN1200 (2" - 48")|
|Flow range*||Steam: 26 - 2282271 kg/m³|
|Gas/air: 0,5 - 187593 kg/m³|
|Pressure range||Steam: 0,4 - 27 bar|
|Gas/air: 0 - 69 bar|
|Accuracy||± 1 % of reading|
|Repeatability||± 0,25 % of reading|
|Output||1 x 4-20 mA, 10-36 V max. load, 24 bit resolution|
|Adjustments of 4 mA and 20 mA signal from the keypad and reset of anomalies found between the meter and the monitoring device|
|*Depending on pipe size and pressure/density|
Within the flow meter as flowing media moves across the strut or "bluff bar" vortices are also shed, but on a smaller scale. The meter transmits an ultrasonic beam through the vortex pattern downstream of the strut. As vortices are shed, the carrier wave of the ultrasonic signal modulates. The modulation of the carrier wave is measurable and proportional to the number of vortices shed. Digital processing enables the vortices to be counted, and this value is converted into a velocity.


William Michael Morgan recorded this Greg Bates, Jon Mabe and Jimmy Ritchey penned song for his Vinyl album. He admitted to Billboard magazine it was the most difficult track for him to record.
"There was a high note in there that I couldn't hit," he explained. "I said, man, we're not gonna be able to do this song because I can't fricking hit this high note. They said, take a second. So I went outside, drank a cup of coffee. Then I came back and did the falsetto part of that song, and it's different, but it ended up working."
His keyboard work helped define the Muscle Shoals sound and make him an integral part of many Neil Young recordings. Spooner is also an accomplished songwriter, whose hits include "I'm Your Puppet" and "Cry Like A Baby."

Many farmers reach a point where farmers markets are no longer able to suffice as a primary sales outlet. As farms grow, adding additional markets may be prohibitive, yet the current outlets may not offer opportunity to expand sales volume. If farmers markets are no longer working as the primary sales method, and other retail options such as a farm store or community supported agricultural shares aren’t likely to attract enough of a customer base to support a growing farm, wholesale may be the answer.

Influence of hepatitis G virus (GB virus C) on the prognosis of HIV-infected women.Int J STD AIDS. 2011 Apr; 22(4):209-13.IJ
This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of GB virus C (GBV-C) viraemia and anti-E2 antibody, and to assess the effect of co-infection with GBV-C and HIV during a 10-year follow-up of a cohort of 248 HIV-infected women. Laboratory variables (mean and median CD4 counts, and HIV and GBV-C viral loads) and clinical parameters were investigated. At baseline, 115 women had past exposure to GBV-C: 57 (23%) were GBV-C RNA positive and 58 (23%) were anti-E2 positive. There was no statistical difference between the groups (GBV-C RNA + /anti-E2 - , GBV-C RNA - /anti-E2 + and GBV-C RNA - /anti-E2 -) regarding baseline CD4 counts or HIV viral loads (P = 0.360 and 0.713, respectively). Relative risk of death for the GBV-C RNA + /anti-E2 - group was 63% lower than that for the GBV-C RNA - /anti-E2 - group. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that only HIV loads ≥ 100,000 copies/mL and AIDS-defining illness during follow-up were associated with shorter survival after AIDS development. It is likely that antiretroviral therapy (ART) use in our cohort blurred a putative protective effect related to the presence of GBV-C RNA.

During an interview via CoinDesk, Nigerian immigrant Olaoluwa Osuntokun, CTO and co-founder of Lightning Labs, was talking about the Lightning Network and how it continues to grow. It exceeded 2,000 bitcoins deposited on its network. Olaoluwa Osuntokun, has been a frequent contributor to the underlying Bitcoin protocol.
He expressed the capacity that this entire network has as a whole to transmit payments on its channels. Likewise, Lightning surpassed the figure these days, and represents double what it had at the beginning of the year, when there were about 1,000 BTC deposited on the network.
The Lightning Labs co-founder has raised $ 2.5 million to turn Bitcoin into a more viable form of payment by making smaller transactions more profitable.
The Lightning Network protocol is a protocol designed to improve the scalability of Bitcoin. This is possible because the Lightning Network works as a second layer on top of Bitcoin. One that allows this cryptocurrency to do things that it normally could not and more specifically; instant transactions with very low commissions.
Driven by various, positively influencing factors, the growth of the Bitcoin Lightning network appears to have accelerated in recent months: In the first quarter of 2021, Lightning’s capacity increased steadily, the CTO said, but starting from May, the trend accelerated its growth rate. On May 1, Lightning’s total capacity was 1,231 BTC, but today it already exceeds 2,000 BTC.
Lightning Network capacity has increased by more than 750 BTC
Namely, the Lightning Network capacity has increased by more than 750 BTC in just under 2 months. Therefore, it could be said that in 60 days it has doubled all the growth it had from 2020 to 2021, when it just went from having approximately 800 BTC, to exceeding 1,100 BTC in those 365 days.
This growth means more nodes, more channels and, above all, more Bitcoins. But above all that users seem to trust the Lightning Network more and more. Will the offchain network work after all? A lot is being written about Lightning. For some, the offchain network for Bitcoin is the salvation for the perfect scaling; for others, it is a brain concept that can never work in reality.
The truth may be somewhere in the middle. After the network has been stagnant for a long time, now there is encouraging news: it is growing. And growing rapidly.
Initially, the Lightning Network grew at full speed after the network went live in early 2018. It reached an initial peak in the spring of 2019, then stalled for almost two years after a slight decline. It wasn’t until February 2021 that a clear trend towards higher growth emerged.
What is the reason for all this?
Specifically, the capacity in Bitcoin shows this by going from about 1,000 BTC to just over 2,000 BTC. It is literally exploding, but what is the reason? It is difficult to say. Possibly the trend towards payments with Lightning in El Salvador, as well as the designation of Bitcoin as an official means of payment in the Central American country, has contributed; possibly Lightning is working better and better as it continues to evolve. In this sense, a kind of tipping point has possibly been reached, making Lightning the standard – still in small circles – for international remittances, for example.
Regardless of the reasons, what matters is that Lightning is growing. Because when a network grows, network effects take over: it not only gets bigger, it gets better. Not only does it have more participants, but it works better for each of them. Osuntokun expressed.
To understand a little the potential of this technology, we must keep two things in mind. The first is that Bitcoin was created as a digital money solution. The second is that this goal is impossible to achieve in the current state of the Bitcoin network and software. The reason for this is very simple: Bitcoin has trouble scaling.
For this reason, a new way of making transactions quickly was needed, that was easy to use and compatible with Bitcoin without making major modifications. The answer to these needs and more is the Lightning Network.

SORSOGON PROVINCE – In an audience with Governor Chiz Escudero a private group intends to construct a cold storage plant and a blast freezing facility to prevent wastage of Tamban or “Lawlaw” that are left to rot in the sea port of Bulan.
According to Rosanna Villareal representative of Fortune Group Corporation the cold storage plant and the blast freezing facility may reduce to zero the oversupply of the fish in the market.
The company produces a well-known brand of sardines in the country. Aside from the cold storage plant and the blast freezing facility they also intend to have a canning factory in the area to partner with their salted fish sauce (Patis) venture.
The proposed project will create job opportunities for the first-class municipality and can assure fisherfolks that their catch of “lawlaw” will no longer rot because of the ready market.

Tactical turn-based RPG with a twist of fling mechanism, Squids Odyssey is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch on July 5th, 2018.
The adventure takes place under the sea, as a murky black ooze is turning once friendly crustaceans into cranky monsters. With their realm under siege, a scrappy shoal of Squid heroes has no choice but to fight back. The game offers a challenging tactical RPG experience. Hero classes, stat-boosting helmets, power-ups and the level’s environment add a strategic element to the role-playing gameplay. The game features 90 missions for 15 hours of gameplay and the Pro Mode, with completely redesigned missions, doubles the challenge.
“While working on Furi for the Switch, we kept thinking that Squids would be a perfect fit for the console,” said Emeric Thoa the game Creative Director. “You can use the touchscreen or buttons and sticks, the format is perfect to enjoy the dialogues, the art shines on the small screen but you can also blast it full scale on a big TV, and you can take your game anywhere. We didn’t know it then, but the game was actually designed for the Switch! This is definitely our best version so far.”

During tours, we do our best to cover setlists in real-time on Twitter. If you want to tweet a show in, just DM or @ us on the day and tell us to watch your stream that night.
Tori will be touring in 2014 to support the release of Unrepentant Geraldines. The European legs runs from May through June and the North American legs spans July and August. We do not know if additional dates elsewhere will be added.
The Night of Hunters tour returned to Germany tonight with Tori and the Quartett gracing the stage of Frankfurt’s Alte Oper. Fortunately, there was a live updater, via the Twitter (second night in a row with one! yay!) so, with thanks to @lenoreva, we’re happy to say that the concert featured the first performances of “Strange,” “Jamaica Inn, “Taxi Ride,” “Velvet Revolution,” and John Lennon’s “Imagine” on the tour. The evening also included “Edge of the Moon,” “Snow Cherries From France” and “Precious Things.” The full setlist has been posted in the Tour archive for your perusal and edification.
We’d love to hear what attendees thought of the performance if you’d like to share it with the site and everyone else — drop a review on us using the comment form at the bottom of the Frankfurt page. Check back over the next few days for videos and photos as well.

Omaha Gay-Rights Group Seeks Return of Donations
An Omaha gay-rights group is seeking the return of some $1,800 donated to a woman convicted of lying about being attacked by masked men who carved anti-gay slurs into her skin.
Beth Rigatuso, president of Heartland Pride, said the money was given to Charlie Rogers at a candlelight vigil held on her behalf last July.
Rogers, a former University of Nebraska basketball player, told police earlier that month that three men broke into her Lincoln house and assaulted her. But police say Rogers faked the attack because she thought it would inspire change in the treatment of gay people.
Rogers was sentenced last month to a week in jail and ordered to repay more than $10,000 given to her following reports that she had been attacked, which she handed over to the court days after her sentencing.
Chief Probation Officer Gene Cotter was tasked with divvying up the money among donors he could track down and using the money to reimburse the Lincoln Police Department for forensic work on the case, the Lincoln Journal Star (http://bit.ly/12k3fl3 ) reported Saturday.
Since then, Cotter has paid $1,265 to nine donors he could identify and $1,725 to police for crime scene photos, DNA and blood tests and the work of a forensic pathologist.
The remaining $7,200 went to Santa Cop, a police charity that gives gifts to some 4,000 children each Christmas.
This week, Cotter told Rigatuso he wasn't aware of the Heartland donation, but said he'd see if he can redirect $1,800 from Santa Cop to the organization.
"I just want to do what's right for the people who have questions about what's happening to their money," Rigatuso said.
Heartland Pride's board will decide what to do with the money if it is returned, she said.

Why is it that the reserves that the Canadian government “provided” have such horrendous conditions, even worse that many poor regions around the world?
Consider some reports:
This is exactly what the Canadian federal government wants.
They want EVERYTHING, that is, ALL the land, for themselves and their rich corporate buddies. Yes, I know that many First Nations out there thought “Avatar” was paternalistic, etc., etc., but at least the movie pointed out one fact:
THE FAT BOYS WANT IT ALL!
FAT BOYS = Corporate Elite
Drive the people from their land. Make conditions so horrific that they flee to the towns and cities for refuge. Pay off a few chiefs who care only for their own families, but not the others. And make the people run away.
And when they arrive in the towns and cities? The fugitive First Nations people find out there is no refuge. Only more shitty housing, gangs, and discrimination. And few employers willing to hire them. Not a bright future.
When will Canadians stop:
(1) Being so fracking racist?
(2) Supporting this evil Canadian government?
(3) Worshipping money, which, in the end, gives more power to the corporations to control EVERYBODY’S lives?
And when will we all:
(1) Wake up and love First Nations as ourselves, treat them like we want to be treated?
(2) Turn opposition to support, discrimination to partnership, money-worship to respect for Mother Nature and her children?
Do it now, Canadians, before you yourselves are reduced to begging in the dust!

NEWBERRY ‒ A Newberry teacher received a coveted award and a $500 grant recently for her exemplary work in educating her students using Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic. Newberry High School Spanish teacher Grisell Santiago was awarded the My Virtual Learning Success Story grant by the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS), Atlanta.
This grant recognizes high school teachers who, when presented with a tough situation and through the trials and tribulations of virtual learning, came out successful. Santiago was one of five educators, and the only one in Florida, who was selected to be awarded this grant and recognition.
Santiago was faced with trying to make sure that all students were able to complete the various tasks online for her class such as speaking, presenting, listening, reading and writing in Spanish. In Zoom break rooms, students were able to work in groups and talk to each other in Spanish, helping them with not feeling alone or feeling that they were not able to make friends during the shutdown.
Santiago also worked with her students from the Hispanic Honor Society to assist her with tutorial sessions after school to help students via Zoom who needed extra practice or were having internet issues during class time. This was successful and doing tutorials gave the students the opportunity to also earn community service hours for their graduation requirement.
With the students in advanced level courses, Santiago created an online bilingual newspaper, celebrating different activities each month and things they learned in the classroom. This also helped students in the lower levels express themselves by publishing poems, essays and art. They had originally started the newspaper only for the Spanish classes, but when they decided to share it with the whole school, it was a success.
Topics covered culture and education, including Hispanic food, dances, festivals, music and literature. They also used the newspaper to celebrate the graduating class of 2021 by having student-conducted interviews with seniors talking about their experiences during the year.
Making the changes to virtual learning gave Santiago the opportunity to seek other outlets to celebrate students and help them have a way to express themselves.
“The switch to virtual learning has been a challenge for students and educators, but it has also opened up new possibilities for creativity and innovation in teaching and learning,” said NSHSS Director of Scholarships and Communications Karen Kane. “NSHSS wanted to celebrate those success stories of educators pushing past the difficulties to create rich, new, and engaging experiences.”
Kane said that Santiago was able to quickly use the virtual learning environment to help her Spanish language students share how they were feeling while practicing the required skills, and from that simple exercise grew a bilingual newspaper that eventually involved the whole school.
“Submissions of art, poems and articles on Hispanic food, music, and literature from all grades provided a forum for self-expression at a time when social connections were scarce,” said Kane. “The popular project is continuing even though in-person classes have resumed and the grant from NSHSS will hopefully help it grow.”
Co-founded by Claes Nobel and James Lewis, NSHSS is the premier international honors and scholarship program. It offers a lifetime of benefits, pairing the highest performing students worldwide with high school and college scholarships, events, connections, internships and career opportunities that begin in high school and carry on through college and careers.

Recently I was the lucky blogger chosen to attend and cover the Carrie Underwood Concert with Metropolis Hot Seats. Metropolis at Metrotown has been sending lucky winning customers to see the next big concert or Canucks game from an executive suite at Rogers Arena. It’s catered, it’s exclusive, it’s the best way to see an event!
On Thursday night, I headed up the elevator to the executive suites floor and took in an amazing concert with the 5 winners and their plus one’s. We enjoyed snacks, treats, and music. Carrie Underwood put on a great show. The girl’s got pipes and belted out her biggest hits and wowed the crowd with beautiful performances.
Here are some pics and video from the night.

This small town at Lake Balaton is the symbol of my youth and early adulthood: it is the place of parties. Almost every weekend we travelled there with my friends, rent a house and we felt that the world is ours. Through the long promenade you find pubs, clubs, cafes on both sides. All kind of music, a lot of nations and the feeling of holiday. After having party, at dawn we had breakfast and saw the sunrise at the beach. Unforgettable.

NEW YORK — The speculation is wide, rumours numerous and denials firm. And the crime? Somebody allegedly bit Beyonce on the face at a party back in December.
How do we know this? Because Tiffany Haddish told us so. More specifically, she told GQ magazine in a profile released Monday. She didn’t nail the culprit but set off Beyonce’s social media Beyhive of die-hard fans and a whole lot of internet sleuthing. The mystery, natch, has a hashtag: #WhoBitBeyonce?
tap here to see other videos from our team.
The latest nugget came Tuesday when TMZ reported multiple sources it did not identify by name as saying Haddish told them partygoer Sanaa Lathan is the biter. She got the hive treatment — swarms of bee emojis — until she finally spoke on Twitter: “Y’all are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it would’ve been a love bite.”
Lathan, of “The Best Man” movies, included a single red-lip emoji to battle all those bees.
The purported bite (purportedly) occurred at an after-party for Beyonce hubby Jay-Z’s “4:44” concert at The Forum in Los Angeles on Dec. 22. There was, purportedly, something about flirting with Jay, and something, purportedly, about the flirt being wasted.

I’ve been waiting for the release of this soundtrack ever since I saw the first trailers for this remake of the classic Shakespearean tragedy. So, when I saw it on iTunes over the weekend, I knew this was one soundtrack I had to have in my arsenal. To say that Abel Koreniowski’s music transports you to another world is barely scratching the surface. The swelling music is filled such raw emotion you can’t help but be inspired.
Note: For those writers out there, this is the perfect soundtrack to listen to while writing. It helps set the mood, and the words just seem to flow out onto the page.

THE NEW BONNIE AND CLYDE.
Chill, Sweden. Even for just like a second, there’s other nations trying to get some shine in the pop game y’know? The newest starlet from the pop graceland to bless us with her presence goes by the name of Marlene ∞, presumably pronounced “Marlene Forever”, but it’s hard to ever know for sure with those crazy Swedefolk. Debut single “Bon Voyage” is a temperamental ocean of salty-smooth brilliance, as her mood bubbles to the surface atop buoyant synth flourishes and her silky come-hither vocals lock you into a sensual R&B beat. Think Yadi meets Kate Boy, or just the perfect better-late-than-never addition to your summer soundtrack.

Starkey Analysis of U.S. EIA Oil Inventories Data: Crude oil inventories grew by just shy of 5 million barrels in the week ending March 17th. This was driven largely by a reported jump in imports of some 900,000 b/d. Refinery runs ticked higher by 330,000 b/d, though exports were reported to have fallen further to only 550,000 b/d. Another 626,000 barrels of crude was reported to have come out of the SPR bringing the total to nearly 1.7 million barrels thus far.
Crude inventories notched another record high level for the US, though overall oil inventories continue to look improved versus last year. Total oil inventories entered the year 54 million barrels above year ago levels, and that has been lowered to 24 million barrels as of last week. Most of that improvement has been driven by some of the more minor oil categories, like fuel oil and propane. Crude oil inventories continue to be the most bloated on a relative basis.
This commentary has been consistent for the past couple of months talking about how the market's expectations were outweighing current fundamentals. That had been the catalyst for higher prices since last November. Those expectations were driven by two narratives:
- OPEC/non-OPEC supply cuts would usher in a swift market rebalance, and
- the Trump administration's agenda would quickly set in motion a fiscal policy that would stimulate economic activity...the so-called "reflation" trade.
Both of those narratives hit almost simultaneously late last year. Oil prices responded in kind. Over the past couple of weeks, however, some have begun questioning the validity of both. I.e., both narratives are breaking down. Oil prices are responding as expected. The biggest short term risk remains the health of these two narratives.
While non-commercial ("spec") net length in crude oil futures and options has fallen from historic highs, it is still relatively elevated. There is likely over 100,000 contracts of that recent net length that is currently underwater (got long at prices above current levels).
One can be expected to hold onto a losing position if the narrative is still firmly in their favor. However, as noted, that may no longer be the case, and that should be the question market participants are asking themselves when pondering whether another round of liquidation may occur.

Kaspersky released a new survey that explores Filipino users’ responses after falling victim to a digital scam or fraud.
Among the respondents, 65% said changing the passwords on their bank/digital wallet accounts and apps is top of the list. Alternatively, 51% admitted that informing their family and friends of what happened was what they did before anything else. Meanwhile, 43% said contacting their bank or financial service company to report the incident was their immediate course of action.
While cash is still the most prominent in the country, the periodic quarantine measures prompted users to rely on mobile payment apps and digital wallets more for their daily financial transactions. Notably, 54% of respondents said they are somewhat confident that such platforms are very secure and use these services at least several times a week.
This is evident based on the local survey participants. They chose digital payments to transfer money to family and friends, pay for utilities, and shop online, in that order.
“We can glean from this data that Filipinos draw strength from their family during a crisis particularly where there’s potential loss of money. This may explain why they make calls to their families and friends before anything else rather than swiftly report their circumstance to the proper authorities,” explained Yeo Siang Tiong, General Manager for Southeast Asia at Kaspersky.
However, according to Yeo, it’s more likely that users would fail to claim the funds back due to the delay in seeking help from financial institutions.
“This is where prevention is essential. The detection of a scam or fraud early on in the transaction means less headache for you and your family and your hard-earned money stays intact,” added Yeo.
Besides using a strong password, enabling all security features of the device and apps, and keeping an eye on red flags, Yeo said practicing good cyber hygiene also includes using dependable software protection even before an unfortunate event occurs and not after encountering an incident.
For that, Kaspersky’s premium product, the Kaspersky Total Security (KTS), offers complete, family-oriented defense against potential cyberthreats. It’s bundled with a virtual private network (VPN), ensuring that your online actions are not logged, and hackers are prevented from reading your emails, photos, and bank details. Furthermore, it has a Password Manager that generates strong passwords for you. It will help you track multiple passwords, which are all secured in a private vault, away from the prying eyes of cybercriminals.
It even has the Safe Money feature, which protects one’s money, identity, and privacy all in one.
When installed in a device, payments are made via an encrypted browser so that hackers do not intercept financial data while you shop and bank online. It also comes with an extra security feature for locking Android apps and locating Android mobile devices. Additionally, it has an Anti-Hacking capability that prevents unauthorized access and hijacking your Android device, with suspicious activities being blocked instantly. Other valuable features also include Malicious Link Detector and Anti-Malware features.

Let certainly one of these automotive faculties remodel you into some of the highly skilled and helpful folks in the storage! It sounds like there is a must create a glossary with the vary of phrases (automotive industry, automotive engineer, vehicle manufacturer, and so on) and indicate these that are definitely not used (presumably instance of automotive producer), and people that are used less than others.
A development engineer has the accountability for coordinating supply of the engineering attributes of a complete automobile ( bus , car , truck , van, SUV, bike and so on.) as dictated by the automobile manufacturer , governmental rules , and the customer who buys the product.
Especially in Germany it appears that for mergers and take-overs in the automotive supplier trade between 1989 und 1992 the driving power in a single third of these situations was entry to particular market segments, whereas in one fifth each of the instances the intention was to establish first-time presence in the automotive sector or to realize the mass important for improvement and manufacturing.
Since the general situations in the numerous car markets are gaining in similarity, additionally the related success elements for automotive suppliers will grow to be extra uniform. We say that chain or clutch or engine is automotive merchandise which merely mean that they’re utilized in automobiles.
However, few take into account that car engineering focuses extra on the cars, whereas automotive engineering will be defined as an umbrella term to indicate a branch that deals with all motor vehicles. The automotive engineer needs to know tips on how to talk on a global stage and have a horizon broader than just their own culture. Invited discuss at the 1st Multilingual Documentation for the Automotive Industry TOPTEC Symposium. The phrase automotive is used mainly in automotive engineering which is a branch of engineering that offers with designing, manufacture and operation of automobiles like cars, buses, trucks and many others. The improvement engineer can be liable for organizing vehicle level testing, validation, and certification. Auto mechanics need to have a minimal of a highschool diploma or its equal. Automotive Engineering particularly deals with the development and design of cars.

When you go the movie theatre, how much time do you spend looking at the movie posters that adorn the walls just outside the cinema your film is playing in? According to Kevin Burke’s documentary 24X36: A Movie About Movie Posters, nowadays, we barely spend time looking at them at all. Considering that media consumption now moves at a blink and you’ll miss it pace, and the small glow of a cell phone is where most people get their movie marketing from, these posters have become more about selling star recognition than an innovated way to promote a film.
It was not always this way though. In fact, there was a time when movie posters were not just marketing tools, but actual works of art. Burke’s film charts the inception of movie posters and shows how they, and the audiences they attract, have changed over the years. 24X36 does a good job of documenting the progression from the 1950s where beautifully rendered works actually provided insight into a movie’s plot to the uneventful headshot driven works of today. Speaking with the likes of Joe Dante, Rob Jones, Akiko Stehrenberger, Andrea Alvin, Tal Zimerman, and Dave Alexander to name a few, the film effectively provides a nostalgic look at the past while questioning the future of the movie poster.
One intriguing component the film touches on is the growing niche that is the poster collecting community. As commerce is killing the creative side of movie posters from a studio perspective, illustrated posters have found a resurgence in popularity by those who consider themselves hardcore collectors. While Burke shows the positive side of this, specifically the rise of companies like Mondo and Skuzzles, he also raises some thought-provoking questions about the union between artists and corporations. Some artist simply create their film posters without authorization, while others work in partnership with major film studios, but often need to acquire corporate permission, which sometimes includes focus groups, before their creative vision can be realized.
24X36: A Movie About Movie Posters may not deviate away from the structure of other genre heavy documentaries, however, there is plenty of interesting nuggets for those who have an interest in art and film. Entertaining and informative, the film will have you looking at every movie poster you come across far more closely.
Friday, November 25, 7:00 PM, Cineplex Cinemas (Yonge and Dundas)
Tickets can be purchased at The Blood in the Snow website.
Due to sure geography, I won’t be able to attend the screening of this documentary, but I will be on the lookout for it in the future because it sounds right up my alley and I had no idea it existed until reading this review.
I am not sure what the release strategy is post its festival run (e.g. theatrical, VOD/streaming), but you should definitely keep an eye out for it in the coming months.

What is it?
What are the effects?
This substance belongs to the groups:
Allantoin may be derived from animals but it can also be vegan.
The organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has listed this substance in their Animal-derived Ingredients List. PETA writes that allantoin can be derived from the urine of most mammals, for example cows, but it can also be extracted from plants, especially from comfrey.
No matter how this ingredient is sourced, vegan or non-vegan, it is often named the same. To know if the product is free from animal biological parts, look for “vegetarian” or “vegan” stamps on the product or in the product description. In some cases you may even have to ask the manufacturer to know how the ingredient is sourced.
How is it used?
Allantoin and its different complexes, for example allantoin biotin and allantoin polygalacturonic, are reportedly mainly used as skin-conditioning agents in cosmetic products*.
The substance is often found in oral hygiene products, baby products, makeup, shaving, and other kinds of skin care products.
We use the European Commissions definition of Cosmetics:
“Cosmetics range from everyday hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste to luxury beauty items including perfumes and makeup”.

It may sound a little like Frankenstein, but scientists are working on being able to use 3-D printing technology to create human organs. Today’s post is going to make heavy use of video, but in this case, a video clip is worth a thousand words.
For background, check out this 3-year old TED talk and then come back for an update.
At the University of Louisville, researchers are working on 3-D printing a human heart.
Creating a whole new heart is years away, but heart valves are already being produced. And 3-D printing is helping surgeons prepare for complicated heart surgery.
“Using MRI scan data, Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in New York City 3D printed a copy of the child’s heart, which was both riddled with holes and structured unusually.
Surgery was going to be complicated and dangerous, but this 3D printed heart [model] provided the surgeons the opportunity to study the organ, and develop a detailed surgery strategy.”
Companies like Organovo are producing human tissue samples for the testing of new drugs.
Liver toxicity is a key concern for any new drug and Organovo is selling samples of human liver tissue to drug companies for their use in testing possible drugs. http://ir.organovo.com/news/press-releases/press-releases-details/2014/Organovo-Announces-Commercial-Release-of-the-exVive3D-Human-Liver-Tissue/
Aspect Biosystems in Canada http://aspectbiosystems.com/ is also working on creating 3-D human tissue samples.
Research is underway on a number of human organs. The goal is to use a patient’s own cells to grow the new tissue and organs that will be transplanted back into the patient’s body. One of the difficulties is including blood vessels in those organs. Dr. Jennifer Lewis at Harvard has now come up with a way to 3-D print with multiple cell types including the cells that form blood vessels. http://www.technologyreview.com/news/525161/artificial-organs-may-finally-get-a-blood-supply/ She was able to create blood vessels down to 75 micrometers in diameter. Technology is not yet available to get down to true human capillaries which average only 8 microns in diameter. That size is necessary for good oxygen transfer from the red blood cells to the surrounding tissue.

Under the title “The negotiations on the verge of collapse”, Turkish Cypriot daily Halkin Sesi newspaper (18.05.17) reports that the five-hour meeting held yesterday between President Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Akinci ended with failure. According to the paper, the Turkish Cypriot side proposed the discussion of the matters in the form of a package and holding a second Geneva Conference in June, but the proposal was immediately rejected by the Greek Cypriot side, which, allegedly, put as precondition the discussion and a decision on the territory for going to Geneva, noting that the conference with the guarantor powers would be possible only in case of an agreement on the territory and under the condition that the discussion will be held on a map.
Under the title “The negotiating table is about to be dissolved”, Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (18.05.17) reports that the sides left the table without determining a date for a new meeting within the framework of the negotiations.
Under the title “Relations were cut off”, Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis newspaper (18.05.17) alleges that the pre-conditions put by President Anastasiades were a bomb to the negotiating table. According to the paper, these pre-conditions are: 1) The territory and the map should be discussed first during the Geneva conference, 2) After the territory and the map the issue of guarantees and security should be discussed and 3) After completely solving these issues, the other four issues could be discussed. The paper writes that Akinci’s proposals are: 1) Return to Geneva without conditions, 2) Discussion of the issue in the form of a package and 3) Postponement of the drilling to be conducted in Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone in July.
Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris Postasi newspaper’s (18.05.17) editor-in-chief Rasih Resat argues that the sides now are developing and implementing a strategy, by which they will not seem as the side which caused the collapse of the negotiations, opposes to the solution and delays the process. “This derives from the fact that both sides have realized that a federal solution will no more be possible from this process”, he claims adding that the body language of Akinci and the language his used during his press conference yesterday showed that he expects nothing from this negotiating table now.
Other front page titles are the following:
Kibris Postasi: Geneva is far away, non-solution is close
Yeni Duzen: They beat the air
Afrika: They were not able to agree
Demokrat Bakis: Even Akinci revolted
Vatan: Each side’s proposals were rejected
Ortam: We are waiting!
Datay: Proposals crisis
Star Kibris: Unpleasant finale

Nigerian officials said today that the release of a leading political prisoner could be delayed by his followers, who refuse to believe he has given up his claim to the presidency.
A senior Government official confirmed that the detainee, Moshood K. O. Abiola, would be released, but said the timing was uncertain.
''The Government is not happy with the uncomplimentary comments of the various leaders of pro-democracy groups,'' a Government official said. ''Their comments indicate that they will mastermind violent protests if Abiola is not made president.''
Mr. Abiola had appeared to be the victor in 1993 elections that the military annulled.
Opposition groups have reacted angrily since the United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, said on Thursday that Mr. Abiola had said he was not naive enough to think he could leave detention and be made President on the basis of 1993 elections.
Abraham Adesanya, a backer of Mr. Abiola and the head of the National Democratic Coalition, said in Lagos that he did not believe Mr. Abiola would drop his claim.Continue reading the main story
