The beauty of an Arthur Sullivan score never fades. A W.S. Gilbert satire of human nature only gets better with time. With these two principles kept resolutely in mind (and tongues firmly in cheek), the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players have returned in all their glory for their first ever summer season at City Center, June 6-15. Notify your sisters and cousins, whom you reckon up by dozens, and your aunts. The preeminent G&S company in America performs, as only they can, the "big three"‹H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado‹as well as The Gondoliers, one of Gilbert & Sullivan's most uproarious and vocally melodic works, set in Venice and the mythical kingdom of Barataria.
Here is the core of the collective genius of Gilbert & Sullivan: the salty humor and inspired banter of Pinafore; the delicious black comedy and immortal tunes of Mikado; the fine coloratura arias and swashbuckling romance of Pirates; and the rollicking Venetian boatmen and mock pageantry of Gondoliers, a not-to-be-missed G&S operetta of the first rank.
The Gondoliers was the last light opera on which Gilbert and Sullivan collaborated harmoniously. While it has long outlived the direct object of its satire, the rise of republicanism in Victorian England, its oddly egalitarian and dysfunctional monarchy of Barataria will live forever. A musically complex and satisfying work, it was also comically fabulous‹presaging the cracked kingdom of Freedonia in Duck Soup. (The celebrated, cultivated, underrated Duke of Plaza-Toro can be viewed as a precursor to Rufus T. Firefly‹Groucho Marx being a huge fan of G&S).
There is something for everyone in this summer season, a comic-opera repertory charged with contemporary energy while retaining traditional respect for the shows themselves. Every NYGASP light opera is a living, breathing work, continuously updated by a veteran corps of performers, some of whom have been perfecting their roles, adding little bits to their costumes, little touches to their makeup, and new variations to their onstage shtick, for decades. The rapid-fire dialogue and patter songs are constantly tweaked and updated. For example, a reference to "Custom House" (the British equivalent of the U.S. Coast Guard) in Pirates might simply be changed to "Homeland Security"; or the shipboard dungeon telephone joke in Pinafore, first produced in 1878, shortly after Alexander Graham Bell's invention, could be changed to "no cellular phone communicates with his cell," adding a pun as well as an update.
Each season brings new entries to Ko-Ko's infamous "list" of persons we'd like to see beheaded in The Mikado, or a diabolical, tongue-twisting variation on the Mikado's ways to "let the punishment fit the crime." David Wannen, who plays the title role in that opera, adds a riff to recent performances:
The major league slugger who swings and misses each time he comes to bat,
He's made to dwell in a dungeon cell, where he eats till he gets fat.
And there he faces extravagant pitching,
In a wobbly batter's box.
We know we hate 'im
So we gleefully trade 'im,
To those babbling Boston Red Sox.
Text updating may not be for purists‹or for members of the Red Sox Nation‹but NYGASP's founder and creative director Albert Bergeret sees his mission as more than presenting musical masterworks as museum pieces. He sees his company as a preserver‹not a preservative.
"The originals are loaded with arcane references that have no meaning to contemporary audiences," Mr. Bergeret says. "When it's possible, we love to add a little twist, a topical reference. The goal is always to illuminate the pieces and make them accessible."
In its nearly four decades, NYGASP has emerged as the leading national professional company performing these works. The company makes its annual appearance in June at Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA, where a loyal and exuberant audience of more than 5,000 attends performances. NYGASP will tour 30 other venues this year, including an engagement later this month with the Missouri Symphony Orchestra for The Pirates of Penzance, a West Coast swing, and a trip to Toronto. In recent years, the company has been featured at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in Buxton, England.
Mr. Bergeret believes there is no better way to introduce classical music to young people than comic opera, and the company has long been involved in youth outreach programs. Recently NYGASP has conducted workshops where G&S professionals work side by side with students at schools in Tenafly, NJ, and Syosset, NY. The company does extensive family overtures, pre-show, during every matinee at City Center, when Mr. Bergeret sings, cracks jokes, explains the topsy-turvy of the plot, and takes questions from the audience. (For more information and upcoming dates go to nygasp.org.)
"It's accessible and wonderful for children," Mr. Bergeret says. "We frequently see three generations in the audience. We are very proud of that."
Woody Hochswender, a former reporter for The New York Times, sings with and serves on the board of the Light Opera Company of Salisbury (CT).

Diana Noonan visits the Istrian Coast, a small but perfectly formed little-known piece of paradise.
There is little more depressing for a traveller than an Italian bus station on a wet Sunday morning.
Unless, of course, it happens to be Easter Sunday morning - no staff, buses, heating, timetables, or helpful information of any sort. And there is the discouraging certainty that any one of these small comforts is unlikely to appear within the next few days.
So I am sure you will understand when I say it was an angel who plucked me, dripping wet, from the on-ramp to a virtually traffic-less motorway where I had been reduced to hitchhiking, and carried me out of Italy and across the border to the gloriously live and sunny Istrian Coast of Slovenia.
Being only vaguely aware of the existence of Slovenia, and having never heard of the Istrian Coast until finding a last-minute home-exchange there, it was a complete surprise to be set down in what is, quite simply, a paradise.
Sandwiched between Croatia and Italy, and forming Slovenia's only section of coastline, this 12km-long stretch of Adriatic sits prettily in a country influenced strongly by Italian culture but which also describes itself, quite accurately, as being a cross between the best of Switzerland and Austria.
Lacking the, sometimes, overly zealous orderliness of Austria (you will never find a Slovenian vigorously sweeping the road beyond their verge) and considerably less costly than Switzerland, the Istrian Coast is nevertheless highly developed with kilometres of sealed promenades, ritzy seafront cafes and restaurants, spas and health centres, casinos (discreetly positioned a short distance back from the ocean), elegant old Austrian-style hotels, and manicured beaches. It is only the equidistant positioning of its rows of rental sun loungers and uniformly matching umbrellas that arouse any thoughts of Slovenia's communist past.
Ritzy though the Istrian Coast may be, its parks and gardens, cycleways, fishing spots, and coastal walking trails meandering through olive groves and hillside vineyards mean that it is also family-friendly, and its affordable hostels and small hotels make it entirely accessible to the less-well-heeled traveller.
With a delightfully Mediterranean feel, except perhaps on the odd day when a chilly wind is blowing off the sea, it is no wonder that this efficient, welcoming, trilingual country (along with Italian, English is spoken everywhere), which was once the founding member of the Federated Republic of Yugoslavia, in 2007 became the first ex-communist nation to enter the euro zone.
The Istrian Coast is also steeped in history, and Piran is the jewel in its crown.
A walled "city" of compact houses and mediaeval architecture, this town of 4000 inhabitants juts into the Adriatic like the prow of a ship, with the Punta Madonna lighthouse as its figurehead.
Cobbled lanes lead from the edge of the sea, past open-air produce markets, stone shops, and myriad churches, to the defensive ramparts overlooking the city. From these heights it is possible to gaze east, along the coast, toward the vast area of salt pans which now constitutes the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park.
With its miniature paddy fields of evaporating sea water and mounds of drying salt, the region was once the lifeblood of Piran, and the salt pans now exist as a working museum and home to rare and endangered plants and animals. With its neighbouring wetlands a haven for migrating birds, the region iregarded as having international environmental importance, and is a favourite destination for bird-watchers.
But history, beauty, wildlife, and holidaying potential aside, it is the Slovenians' sheer love of the outdoors that dominates the Istrian Coast. This is a region where footpaths are wider than roads, where you are more likely to be run down by a jogger than a car, and where vehicles of every description slow for a cyclist spotted half a kilometre ahead.
The day I arrived, on a public holiday, the coastal promenades were alive with pram-pushers, walkers, skateboarders, skaters, runners, joggers, cyclists (old and young), folk fishing from the wharf, entire families enjoying a full range of outdoor gym equipment permanently stationed in a seaside park, and even a few hardy swimmers. Beyond the waves, yachts bobbed and bounced beside life-boat rowing teams, surf-sailors, and kite-surfers, all plying the choppy seas. Every Slovenian was a trim and fit Slovenian who appeared to take it for granted that they had more right to the open spaces than anything with a motor - and the spectacle continued long after the Easter holiday period had concluded.
Later in my stay, I joined some Piran locals on a 10km run to honour the 300th birthday of their town's venerated composer, Tartini, whose statue holds pride of place in the square and whose house stands a little way off. So delighted were the organisers to have a
New Zealander register for the race that I was showered with prizes not actually earned through a race placing.
Given that it has everything to offer as a holiday destination, the Istrian Coast of Slovenia can only become busier.
Go there, in any season. In fact, go anywhere in Slovenia, as soon as you can. Just be sure to pack your Leki-poles - and perhaps your own sun umbrella.
If you go
How to get there
Fly into one of the closest internationalairports (Trieste, in Italy, or Slovenian's capital, Ljubljana, about an hour away).
Or, if first visiting somewhere such as Dubrovnik, consider a bus ride along the highly scenic coastal route from there (allow 1-2 days).
Places to stay
There are no shortages of hotels, but if you're looking for something less pricey, go for Hotel Garni or the Val Hostel. Owned by the same family, they're great value and just a stone's throw from the sea.
For a longer-term stay, consider one of the many apartments available in the town.
Eating in Piran
Numerous gelato bars operate along the seafront - stop by at at least one of them (daily!). Cafe Neptun (at the entrance to the town) does a great espresso. For fresh, locally produced food, visit the open-air market in the mornings. It's situated out of sight, just behind the main square (buy your bread at the bakery opposite while you're there).
Things to do
Ask at the excellent tourist office in Tartini Square for their self-guided walk brochures, and spend the day moseying around town. Allow a half-day to visit
the salt pans and museum at the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park. Buses run regularly but you might like to consider hiring a bike and pedalling there - it's flat all the

Federal government to limit peak flights in NY areaPosted: Updated:
The federal government announced a plan Wednesday to ease congestion at airports in the New York area, including Newark Liberty International Airport.
Federal officials say the best way to ease the region's delay problem is to cut back on flights at peak hours. Starting in March, peak time flights at Newark will be limited to around 80 per hour.
"I'm not a fan of caps, but the reality is for the next few years it's the way to bring some relief to travelers," said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters.
LaGuardia Airport has already implemented a similar cap. A limit of 83 peak flights per hour is slated for John F. Kennedy Airport.
Takeoff patterns are being changed at Newark as of Wednesday. Military airspace will also be opened to commercial aircraft for the holiday season.
To watch the full press conference on the plan, go to channel 612 on your iO digital cable box and select iO Extra.

Texas Removes 'Founding Fathers' Nativity Scene From Capitol
Some say removing the nontraditional nativity scene from the Texas Capitol is censorship, while others say the display mocks their religion.By Melissa Prax | December 24, 2015
A nontraditional take on a nativity scene is causing some controversy in Texas.
This nativity scene from the Freedom From Religion Foundation was taken down from the state capitol building after receiving backlash, including criticism from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
In a letter to the state preservation board, Abbott said the nativity scene "promotes ignorance and falsehood as it suggests that George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson worshiped the Bill of Rights in the place of Jesus." (Video via KXAN)

The generalized Chapman-Enskog (GCE) method for rapid and slow thermochemical processes is employed to formulate a set of continuum breakdown parameters for chemically reacting flows. These GCE breakdown parameters are derived for one-temperature, two-temperature, and three-temperature models, through classification of the relevant thermochemical time scales relative to fast elastic collisional processes and slow flow processes associated with changes in macroscopic observables. Continuum breakdown mechanisms owing to multicomponent diffusion, thermal diffusion, normal and shear stresses, Fourier-type heat fluxes based on translational, rotational, and vibrational temperatures, bulk viscosity, and relaxation pressure are presented for chemically reacting flows. The GCE breakdown parameters, derived from rigorous kinetic theory, capture the proper physical mechanism leading to continuum breakdown. These breakdown parameters are used to analyze continuum breakdown in a Mach 24 reacting air flow over a sphere and continuum breakdown is observed in the shock and close to the sphere surface. The flow field near the sphere surface is found to be characterized by sharp species concentration gradients due to gas-phase and surface reactions. Chemical reactions thus lead indirectly to the distortion of the velocity distribution function (VDF), providing a pathway to continuum breakdown that is captured by the GCE specieswise diffusion breakdown parameter.

Maki Murakami’s Gravitation, a cornerstone of the BL (Boy’s Love) style, is now accessible for streaming by Crunchyroll.
The streaming service introduced that each the 13-episode TV sequence and the two-episode OVA, Gravitation: Lyrics of Love, are actually accessible on the platform in america and Canada. Each the present and its OVA follow-up can be found with the unique audio observe and English subtitles, or with their unique English dub.
Gravitation follows aspiring singer Shuichi Shindou and his band, Dangerous Luck, as they endeavor to interrupt into the highlight and turn out to be Japan’s subsequent large musical sensation. Whereas on a stroll one night, Shuichi encounters a tall, blond stranger, who dismisses the younger singer’s latest lyrics as rubbish, tremendously angering the musician. This finally ends up being the primary of many conferences between the 2, and as their paths proceed to cross, Shuichi is pressured to determine if he’s enraged by the opposite man or if he has failed in love with him.
Murakami’s unique manga sequence was printed in Gentosha’s Kimi to Boku from 1996 to 2002, producing twelve volumes of content material. It gained a passionate fan following and immense reputation, promoting roughly a half-million copies in North America between 2003 and 2007 alone and rating as the highest BL manga on BookScan in 2005. The manga additionally impressed a sequel sequence, Gravitation EX, which debuted within the net journal Genzo in 2004.
The anime sequence adaptation of Gravitation premiered in 2000 and was animated by Studio DEEN (Log Horizon: Destruction of the Round Table, Bakumatsu). Bob Shirohata (Let’s Dance With Papa, Diamond Daydreams) directed the sequence with Miho Shimogasa (Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Would possibly) designing the characters and Masahiro Matsumura (Hetalia: Axis Powers) overseeing the modifying.
Gravitation: Lyrics of Love was produced by Animate, MOVIC, SME Visible Works and Sony Magazines in 1999 with PLUM (The Prince of Tennis, Over Drive) main the present’s animation. Shinichi Watanabe (The Wallflower, Sket Dance) directed the OVA and Hiroyuki Kawasaki (Ranma 1/2, Blade of the Immortal) oversaw the script. In each the sequence and OVA, Kazuhiko Inoue (Detective Conan: The Misplaced Ship within the Sky) and Tomokazu Seki (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Jujutsu Kaisen) voiced the male leads.
Gravitation and Gravitation: Lyrics of Love are simply two of many anime sequence which were just lately added to Crunchyroll’s catalog. A number of new titles have made their debut in the course of the streaming service’s fall season, together with The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat, Platinum Finish, Construct Divide -#00000 (Code Black)- and The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window, a BL story that follows a bookstore clerk who can see ghosts and an exorcist who ignores social boundaries, as they examine a supernatural thriller on the native highschool.

Tag an activity as "Trail Work"
With the controversy started by a recent Outside article calling-out trail runners as "lazy trail parasites" for not doing enough trail work, I'm suggesting the creation of a "Trailwork" tag for Strava activities. Currently you can tag a run or ride as "Long", "Commute" and "Race", let's ad "Trailwork"!
I'm never sure what to categorize trail work as anyway. Sometimes it's a hike, but other times you have to run (or ride) to where the activity is happening. This would solve that dilemma. Also, can you imagine the challenges Strava could create? Hours of trailwork from Mt. Bikers vs. Runners? Nobody loses in that scenario!
One additional advantage is that many races require trailwork hours for entry. Strava would be a convenient place to track those hours. It could be listed in your stats along with miles run/ridden, PRs, elevation, etc.
Thank you for your consideration.

Team Liquid has parted ways with Tommy ‘Taiga’ Le ahead of the DPC 2021-22 season.
When the news broke earlier in the week that Lasse”MATUMBAMAN” Urpalainen and Ludwig “zai” Wåhlberg would be joining Team Liquid it was bittersweet. That meant that two players would be leaving the lineup that competed together for almost four years together.
There was much speculation before Max ‘qojqva‘ Bröcker was revealed to be one player, as he would transition into a streamer for the organization.
Now the other player leaving was revealed.
There is no word yet on where Tommy ‘Taiga‘ Le will go for the upcoming season. The rosters are set to lock on Sunday, November 21st.
The new DPC 2021-22 Season begins with the first “tour” and regional leagues on Monday, November 29th.

Kelimutu National Park is the major natural attraction in Flores island, the mystical three-colored crater lakes. These crater lakes are as the result of the big eruption of Mt. Kelimutu, one of the active volcanoes in Flores island. The lakes share the same name, Kelimutu, meaning ‘the boiling lake’, each has its own colors and a local name. But all are believed to be the resting place of departed souls. Kelimutu lakes are unpredictable as to when and what color they will change into. Sometimes, the colors are blue, green, and black, and some other times they turn to white, red, and blue.
The Kelimutu National Park is comprised of the crater lakes, Mt. Kelimutu (1,690) and Mt. Kelibara (1,732). It is a national park that protects 19 endemic and endangered animals, among which, the Floresian punai (Treron floris), Wallacea owl (Otus silvicola), Floresian kancilan (Pachycephala nudigula), Floresian eagle (Spizeatus floris), and Timorese tesia (Tesia everetti).
Kelimutu is located in Ende, central Flores island. To get here, you can take flight to Ende Airport, then continue on driving to a village Moni, the closest village to the lakes. There are homestays here to stay and local restaurants. The following day, early in the morning at 04.00am, drive to the park for about 45 minutes, and then get ready to go on foot to its view point Mt. Kelimutu, the perfect side to catch the sunrise and see the lakes.

It's funny, some cards just seem to be more fun to make than others, this was one of the "fun" ones!
I used the gorgeous Wee One from Wee Stamps, I've flipped it because I just prefer my image to be "looking" to the right (I dunno why!) and with digis it's so easy to make it happen :-) The Pink Elephant want us to use a digi image or digital papers, so I'm entering there.
I've coloured using Copics, adding some texture and highlights to the baby's hair with Prismacolor pencils.
I used coarse textured blue card for my matting, it was super thick and quite hard to cut with my lovely new border punch (one of eight my Mum and Dad got me when they were in Malaysia recently, thanks Mum xx) Bunny Zoes Crafts want us to use Something Blue, plenty of blue here, I'm in :-) The theme this time around at Clear It Out is: Men/boys and the Stash element is: Punches or die cuts - I've used both so I'm in there too. I used one of the punched out scrolls on the edge of the image panel, adding a baby bottle die cut I got in a set from Make It Crafty, painted white and embossed with Pastel White glitter. The image is mounted on a mat cut using Nestabilities Lacey Squares which I also embossed with Pastel White Glitter (using Hot Set Powder and very fine glitter), it looks so nice and glittery IRL! The Crafts-Too Challenge You challenge is Theme: Texture, Twist: Shiny/Glittery so I'm in.
The sentiments are from Bizzy Becs Digi Ticket Stubs, Little Boy. Totally Papercrafts has "Happy Birthday Baby" (Birthday or New Baby) so I'm entering there, Crafts 4 Eternity has Cute Kids - this wee one definitely fits the bill so I'm in there too, Cutie Pie Challenge has A Cute one for the Boys so I'm there and
The papers are from a pad I got in Spotlight, Totally Gorjuss has a "Dotty" challenge so I'm entering there. The ribbon is from my stash as is the Card Candi and the little pearls on the scroll border; Addicted to Stamps has a 1 2 3 challenge... I've used 1image, 2 sentiment tickets and 3 embellishments (Card Candi, ribbon and pearls) so I'm entering there.
I finished the inside, as usual, to match the outside. Through the Craftroom Door, Divas by Design and Colour Me Copic all have Anything Goes challenges, so I'm entering there.
I hope you get a chance to pop over to the Here Come The Boys blog and check out the rest of the Team's inspiration. Hope you get a chance to enter the challenge too, a baby BOY card is always a handy thing to have on hand :-)
Well that's it for today, I actually have a few cards that I've finished, taken pictures of and sent so I should be able to show you those soon - I just have to find the time to "blog" them, lol.
Either way I'll be back soon. Until then, Happy Crafting, Donna

Date of Birth
June 7, 1965
Place of Birth
There are reports floating around right now that the reason why AJ Lee was not chosen to be a cast member on Total Divas is because she is married to CM Punk. However, she has repeatedly stated in the past that she was not interested in doing a reality television show. She enjoys her privacy and prefers to focus on being a wrestler. Management recently added Alicia Fox and Paige to the series.
October 21, 2014
Since Nikki Bella and Cameron have confirmed it publicly, the widespread belief among fans is that the cast member of Total Divas are not allowed to hold a championship in WWE. Stephanie McMahon, however, is disputing that rumor. During a recent interview, she flat out denied it when asked about the rumor. McMahon stated that it would be great for one of the cast members to hold the belt because it would drive more attention to the story.
October 21, 2014
The expanding cast of Total Divas will include Alicia Fox next season. WWE has decided to include as many of their female performers as possible on the show, and Alicia was quite willing to sign up for the reality television show. For a lot of the girls, the hope is that the extra exposure will help them build up their name value for when they eventually leave the company and pursue other things.
October 20, 2014
In an attempt to draw in even more viewers, the producers of Total Divas and WWE have decided to add new faces to the show. Paige was chosen to be one of the two cast additions. She is young, has a different look, is from England and has already been the Divas champion. Speculations are that the show will portray her as the new girl being given preferential treatment from management.
October 20, 2014
Reports have surfaced about a rather interesting real life relationship backstage in WWE. Rosa Mendes was said to have been dating Michael Hayes for a period of time. Former wrestlers have alluded to the seemingly inappropriate relationship in the past, but the names were withheld. Word going around is that Hayes was quite the advocate in getting Rosa on Total Divas. The two are said to be broken up now.
October 9, 2014
Vince McMahon reportedly has a rule about the cast of Total Divas. None of them are allowed to hold the championship while they are a part of that reality show. No word yet on why McMahon has that rule in place right now, but it is quite peculiar since WWE basically scripts a lot of their segments based on what is happening on Total Divas.
September 25, 2014
Despite not being a major topic of conversation among the internet wrestling community, the season premier of Total Divas did really well this week. They managed to draw in over a million viewers. If the show can manage to maintain that type of number, then there's a very good chance that the relationship between WWE and E! will continue. Rosa Mendes was added to the cast this year, so a new diva could be added if another season were to follow.
September 9, 2014
During a media interview to promote Total Divas, Brie Bella revealed that Daniel Bryan would not be needing the second surgery that has long been rumored to repair his neck injury. She stated that her husband was gaining the strength back in his right arm and could be back as soon as three months, which would enable WWE to have him make a surprise return at Royal Rumble 2015.
September 7, 2014
WWE wanted to create a buzz for Rosa Mendes and the upcoming season of Total Divas, and it looks like the company has accomplished that. Fans are talking about the preview clip where Rosa is naked on one of the episodes. She is in a hotel room, and Natalya Neidhart walks in on her. Obviously, the network won't be showing her fully nude, but it's enough to pique interest in the show.
September 5, 2014
Not a whole lot of fans are aware of this, but Naomi Knight has been missing in action for WWE for a couple of weeks now. The Total Divas star has now revealed that she has been on the sidelines because she needed minor surgery to help further repair her injured eye. Naomi last worked a tag team match on an episode of Monday Night Raw at the end of July.
August 30, 2014
There are speculations right now that Rosa Mendes could be on the receiving end of a push from WWE. She recently stated in an interview that she has never won a singles match via pin fall on television before. The belief is that she is planting the seeds for an underdog story line. Rosa chasing the championship could be a focal point on Total Divas.
August 23, 2014
At Summerslam 2014, fans witnessed the beginning of the feud between Nikki Bella and Brie Bella when the former turned on her sister and helped Stephanie McMahon win the match. The belief is that the feud was instigated by the producers of Total Divas. They wanted an intriguing story for the upcoming season of the show.
August 21, 2014
The camera crew for Total Divas was on hand this weekend to film the bridal shower for Eva Marie. Initially, some were under the belief that it was the actual wedding. However, it has now been confirmed that the official ceremony will be taking place later on this week. Footage from that event will more than likely be included in the upcoming season.
August 17, 2014
Rumors are going around that Ashley Flair has moved to the front of the line for a promotion from developmental to the main roster in WWE. There are some roadblocks in her way, though. Total Divas is set to become a major focus again very soon, so the writers will put an emphasis on them when writing Monday Night Raw. Flair might also have to wait a bit longer if Paige picks up more momentum in her feud with AJ Lee.
August 12, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
One of the ideas being floated around backstage in WWE is to turn Nikki Bella into a heel. The story would be that Stephanie McMahon finally gets to her by getting Nikki to believe that Brie Bella has left her hanging. Nikki would grow tired of being abused by the Authority, so she ends up doing a heel turn against her sister. The story would more than likely be featured on Total Divas as well.
July 22, 2014
TMZ has quite the fascination with WWE nowadays. The tabloid website recently reported that Nikki Bella, who recently received her real estate license, was spotted showing homes to Cameron and her boyfriend. The couple is getting pretty serious and is wanting to move in together. Cameron, who is one of the stars of Total Divas, stated that she wants a five bedroom place.
July 21, 2014
Since management did not want to have two divas matches on WWE Battleground 2014, the decision was made to have the match between Cameron and Naomi Knight take place on the kickoff show instead. The segment was needed for the upcoming season of Total Divas. Otherwise, the story would have been placed on the back burner once AJ Lee decided to make her return to WWE.
July 15, 2014
The big brawl between Naomi Knight and Cameron that you witnessed on Monday Night Raw this week was indeed the big breakup that has been teased over the last couple of weeks by WWE. As many already know, this story was set up for the sake of Total Divas, as producers wanted more dramatic stories for the reality television show. Since it is involved with another network, the belief is that WWE will get behind the story and put some emphasis on it.
July 9, 2014
While a lot of fans are hoping to see WWE giving Dolph Ziggler a push again, the on screen relationship between he and Summer Rae is more about the diva than the former world heavyweight champion. Management needed someone to pair her up with, so that she can continue her feud against Fandango and Layla El. WWE still wants to give her a nice push heading into the next season of Total Divas.
July 6, 2014
With the amount of punishment that his body went through during his long professional wrestling career, Mick Foley understandably prefers that his children not follow his footsteps. However, that is exactly what is happening. Noelle Foley is reportedly training to become an in ring performer. The 20 year old is said to be training somewhere in the Long Island area.
October 12, 2014
A new sitcom called Wrestling With Joeylicious, and as the name suggests, it is centered around the world of professional wrestling. The lead character clings on to his dreams by working at low level independent wrestling shows. Producers have managed to sign Roddy Piper, Mick Foley, Tito Santana and Jimmy Snuka to make an appearance on the show. They will each be portraying themselves.
September 25, 2014
All those years of taking vicious bumps in a wrestling ring have taken a toll on Mick Foley. The WWE legend revealed that he is going in for back surgery this month. Foley states that it is a minor procedure, but he hopes that it will produce major improvements. The former world heavyweight champion said that the pain in his back for the last two weeks have been beyond excruciating.
September 4, 2014
Considering the amount of pain that he withstood for the sake of entertaining fans over the years, it is a bit surprising that Mick Foley did not spend more time on the sidelines. He has retired from WWE now, but an injury is preventing him from working. Back issues have prompted the former world heavyweight champion to cancel an upcoming appearance in Denver. No word yet on whether or not it will be rescheduled.
August 27, 2014
While he may not be on great terms with WWE officials, Mick Foley apparently is still on very good terms with a lot of the performers. A handful of them, including Road Dogg, took the time and made the effort to go watch his comedy show in Ventura. The venue is approximately 90 minutes away from the Staples Center, where Summerslam 2014 will be held.
August 16, 2014
Some wrestling fans take it too far. Someone recently posted that they wanted to get a tattoo of a blood Mick Foley on their body. The WWE legend himself tried to put a stop to that. Foley advised the person that it would not be a smart move because it is something permanent. It would be something that the person would have to explain to a future spouse.
August 10, 2014
"Dolph Ziggler has got to be one of the toughest men to put on a pair of boots, but he's going to be like Mick Foley in another five years because that kid beats his body up more than anybody on the crew. I do know this, in my dealings with him, when I'm his producer, he gives everything he's got. He does some really phenomenal and athletic stuff." - Arn Anderson thinks WWE should push Ziggler
July 20, 2014
For whatever reasons, Mick Foley took to social media this week to defend Batista, stating that it was unfair for fans to have this much hate towards him and his WWE return. Foley mentioned that Batista was at the wrong place at the wrong time because fans were so desperate to see Daniel Bryan being given a proper push. He also feels that not enough people are happy for Batista being featured in a big movie this summer.
July 14, 2014
Showing that some friendships extend beyond the business, Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool recently attended a comedy show featuring Mick Foley. The longtime WWE couple wanted to show support for their old friend. The two of them even went backstage to catch up with Foley for a bit. Several wrestlers in the industry, including CM Punk recently, have made the effort to go watch Foley tell jokes.
July 14, 2014
Another source of discontent for WWE performers lately is the amount of the royalty checks that are being handed out. Wrestlers who used to receive $70,000 quarterly checks for the video game are now reportedly receiving closer to $10,000. There has been some proof of that, as Mick Foley was quite vocal towards WWE about the decrease in royalties earlier in the year. A lot of the top level performers received approximately $1,500 on their second quarterly royalty check, which surprised a lot of people backstage.
July 10, 2014
During a recent interview, Mick Foley was asked about the possible return of CM Punk to WWE, and the hardcore legend revealed something a bit interesting. Foley stated that he has attempted to contact Punk, but Punk has ignored all communications with Foley. The brutally honest Foley also mentioned that he believes that Punk is ignoring the majority of people in the industry right now.
June 28, 2014
"Yes, I like Hulk Hogan - and here's why. With each passing year, I think I gain a better perspective on what's really important in life. There was a time - a period of many years - where Hulk's name would bring up some negative feelings for me. He was the guy who made far more than I did with a style that was the antithesis of mine. But for the past several years, whenever I see Hulk Hogan, all I can think of are the words Shane Douglas shared with me about Hulk Hogan and the kindness and warmth with which he showered the kids facing life-threatening challenges, who seemed to find strength and inspiration in Hulk's larger than life physique and personality. I'll never forget those words Shane told me, 'Those kids would just be beaming.' Those words are all I think of when I see Hogan, People can take issue with his wrestling style...as they often do with mine. But, when it's all said and done, Hulk Hogan used that oversized personality, and really big heart to ease so much suffering that he saw around him.. In the bigger picture, does anything else really matter?" - Mick Foley shares his feelings on Hulk Hogan
June 27, 2014
Those that have been following Mick Foley closely over the last year are aware that there is some sort of backstage heat between he and Vince McMahon. WWE has given him the cold shoulders on a couple of occasions. Foley has now revealed a possible source of that friction. He accidentally sent a message to McMahon while trying to send to Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. The content of that message was Foley complaining about WWE not doing the right thing and putting Bryan over when his popularity was at its peak.
June 27, 2014
Through his personal blog on Facebook, Mick Foley revealed that he was supporting Dolph Ziggler. The WWE legend also revealed why he was rooting for the former world heavyweight champion. He stated that fans were behind Ziggler during his push because they knew that he had worked hard to get to the top. Foley wants WWE to get fans to believe that hard work pays off by pushing Ziggler again.
June 24, 2014
"I wasn't sold on him. I wasn't sold on the idea that they kept comparing him to Bruiser Brody, because Brody for the longtime wrestling fan was one of the great wrestlers of his era or of all time. But he was known as the intelligent monster and Harper was an out of control maniac. I think once you stop trying to imitate somebody and find your own way things really start clicking. So, I've been watching him and things have really been clicking and after the Wyatts have this amazing run, hopefully as long as possible, yeah, I do think he has what it takes to become a singles star." - Mick Foley shares his views on Luke Harper and his potential to become a star in WWE
June 15, 2014
"If Luke Harper were a stock, I'd be buying him now. I've watched carefully for a while, and in the past two months, I've finally become sold on the big man, not only as an invaluable part of the bizarre The Wyatt Family, but as a potential breakout star on his own. Finding your way, and blazing your own unique path is no easy task in WWE, especially when standing in the very long shadow of Bray Wyatt. But Harper has found that way. I wasn't ready to buy into the Bruiser Brody comparison, no matter how many times it was brought up. Brody, a legend in the business, and a huge inspiration on my own career, was known as "the intelligent monster." Harper has excelled in my mind, by stepping off that path that Brody blazed, and finding his own, unique way to excel in WWE - as the guy who can do anything at any time, without any seeming rhyme or reason. The hurricanrana followed by a dropkick makes perfect sense, because it makes absolutely no sense. Here's one wrestling fan looking forward to Luke Harper's matches making little sense, but a huge impact on WWE Monday Night Raw for a long time to come." - Mick Foley praises Luke Harper
June 11, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Mick Foley, where he stated that TNA wished him a happy birthday while WWE has yet do so. While the former world heavyweight champion is more than likely just playing around, there appears to be some truth in jest, as rumors have been floating around that there is backstage heat between Foley and some members of management in WWE.
June 8, 2014
"The purpose of my post. I'm not to suggest that Dolph Ziggler join Global Force Wrestling, just using him as an example of how subjective WWE decisions can be. I do agree that Dolph Ziggler is a terrible ring name. A couple of years ago, I sent a very detailed e-mail to the powers that be with a suggestion of how he could get out of the name and simultaneously garner some mainstream media attention, but never heard back from those in charge." - Mick Foley explaining his post about Dolph Ziggler on Twitter
May 23, 2014
With WWE stock taking a major tumble recently, Mick Foley had an interesting theory as to the reason why. The former world heavyweight champion pointed the finger at Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, stating that some people might not be able to differentiate their on screen characters with their real life personas. Foley feels that HHH and Stephanie do such a good job at portraying heels.

What type of assay is commonly used to measure enzyme activity?
Most enzyme assays are based on spectroscopic techniques, with the two most commonly used being absorption and fluorescence Fersht (1999). The wavelength used for following the reaction rate should be one that yields the greatest difference in absorption between the substrate and the product.
What is enzymatic activity?
Enzyme activity is measured in units which indicate the rate of reaction catalysed by that enzyme expressed as micromoles of substrate transformed (or product formed) per minute.
Why do you measure enzyme activity?
The objective of measuring enzyme activity is normally to determine the amount of enzyme present under defined conditions, so that activity can be compared between one sample and another, and between one laboratory and another.
What are enzymes assays?
An enzyme assay is the name given to any laboratory technique that measures enzyme activity within a sample. Enzyme assays can be used for a variety of purposes, which include identifying the presence of an enzyme, investigation of specific enzyme kinetics or the activity of inhibition within a sample.
What is the purpose of enzyme assays?
Enzyme assays are performed to serve two different purposes: (i) to identify a special enzyme, to prove its presence or absence in a distinct specimen, like an organism or a tissue and (ii) to determine the amount of the enzyme in the sample.
Why is enzyme assay important?
What is enzymatic photometric assay?
During a spectrophotometric assay, the operator follows the course of an enzyme reaction by measuring the changes in the intensity of the light absorbed or scattered by the reaction solution.
What is Enzymatic colorimetric assay?
Colorimetric analysis is a method of determining the concentration of a chemical element or chemical compound in a solution with the aid of a color reagent. It is applicable to both organic compounds and inorganic compounds and may be used with or without an enzymatic stage.
What are activity assays?
Enzymatic activity assays are predominately performed by researchers to identify the presence or quantity of a specific enzyme in an organism, tissue, or sample. Examples of such enzymes include α-amylase, catalase, laccase, peroxidase, lysozyme, and reporter enzymes alkaline phosphatase, and luciferase.
How does an assay work?
An assay is an analytical measurement procedure defined by a set of reagents that produces a detectable signal for quantifying a biological process. The quality of an assay is defined by the robustness and reproducibility of the signal in the absence of a test compound.
How does a spectrometer measure enzyme activity?
A spectrophotometer measures enzyme activity by measuring the rate at which absorbance changes.

Restaurant City is a restaurant simulation where you own maintains and organizes a restaurant. This is done by different things, so you need to attract customers and thus generates an income. At the beginning of the game you've only got a small space available, but even with this space you can already create something beautiful with it.
In Restaurant City you do not yourself prepare and serve the meals. So you start with the hiring of staff, which you can select such as the waiter. The waiter will then immediately works in your restaurant and bring meals from the chef to bring the customers. Later in the game there are more things are possible in this area. At the beginning you can hire someone as a janitor, as a waiter and a chef. Later you can also hire a bartender and serve drinks for your guests.
When you decide to throw open restaurant, customers will automatically walk inside. Do you have enough staff in the service, then you go really very little to do. Restaurant City is a bit boring, because there is not always that much to do. Forntelaty there is a bit more than just running the restaurant.
You can decorate your own restaurant. So you choose for yourself which floor, walls, tables, chairs, windows and other decorations in your restaurant goes. In each category at least thirty different items to find, so there is enough to experiment. Buying decorations and other equipment for your kitchen also provides experience in which you can go level up.
Of course you're not always doing this and when your whole restaurant is full and there is nothing to do later in the game you can have your own sweets shop and you can join a new restaurant. There is also a market where you can trade in ingredients. Furthermore the game also has an award system that rewards you obtained in the form of decorations back.
I think the game is an ok simulation game but after a few game it already starts to get boring. For me three stars.
Restaurant city is an online game where you can manage and decorate your own restaurant.
The game allows you to employ a certain number of people, each of which must be assigned a task, such as chef, waiter or cleaner. The objective of the game is to level up your restaurant, and at the same time this increases the size of your restaurant and unlocks various items to decorate it with.
There are hundreds of items to decorate your restaurant with. The more you play, the more money you will accumulate. However, once you have set your workers to work (for a fixed period of time), gameplay is very limited and all you can do is wait until the time period is over. You are able to improve the ratings of your restaurant, which in turn increases the number of customers entering, and makes you more money. In order to improve restaurant ratings, there is a large menu where you are able to set different dishes to be served in your restaurant. By gathering the ingredients required to make the dish, you are able to level up these dishes.
You are able to rate other people's restaurants if you have chosen to be part of the rating system. If you achieve a score of over 4 out of a possible 5 stars with over 20 ratings, you will become part of "gourmet" street. This street is a collection of the highest rated restaurants in the game. In order to rate other peoples restaurants you have to go to "random" street, and this allows you to rate random users' restaurants out of 5.
Overall this game can be very addictive, with the constant desire to improve your restaurant's design, and achieve a high rating in order to get to gourmet street. With the ability to set a certain time frame to open your restaurant, this means you don't have to be at the computer playing the game in order to make money. I'd recommend this game if you like fun, but very pointless online games!
Restaurant City is an app on Facebook made by Playfish, which lets you "run" your own restaurant. The premise of which is very simple. You hire staff, you buy the necessities, such as a cooker, table, chairs etc. and make money, earn exp, level up and so on...
Whilst it might be fun to begin with, once you set your staff their tasks, there is NOTHING for you to do, and frankly watching these small computer people do their tasks endlessly ISN'T much fun... so you think, fine, I'll exit and come back later.
NO. In order to level up, you MUST have the window open! This not only takes up computer memory, but is useless and frustrating when it interferes with other tasks...
That aside, it is quite addictive and competitive as you want to gain that level, unlock that plot of land, get more staff, get more money etc... the premise that makes MMORPGs successful. A clever thing they have is a leader board system in the form of a street, where the friend with the highest level is on the right most side of the screen and goes down accordingly etc...
A nice little feature is the ability to dress your staff and your own little character. Personally, the range of outfits is at a bare minimum, and only a few I would actually consider using... Some cool ones include bunny ears, harry potter scar, and some more edgy outfits are available too.
The whole point of this IS a restaurant after all! And these are separated into four categories: Starter, Main, Dessert and Drinks.
Each of these also have about 15 different food recipes and encaptures ones in different ethnicities and cultures. Some favourites include: Caribbean Chicken Salad, Dim Sum and Bak Kut Teh.
Personally it would be nice to be able to cook yourself, a bit like cooking mama but this is absent.
These are used to decorate the interior and exterior of your restaurant and too much emphasis is placed on this. They should upgrade other playable features instead!
They do have some cool objects such as mushroom tables and chairs. However, most interior design objects are ugly and unusable, and exterior objects are so common almost everyone's restaurant looks the same.
One good thing is they have regular updates to the game, such as new objects and new recipes. One mega annoying thing is that as you reach high levels, the exp needed for the next one is also exponentially increasing. I am currently 6th on the leader board and once I reach No 1, I think I will stop.
At the end of the day, it is absolutely pointless and what am I going to get from it? NOTHING.
UPDATE: Positive update is that now, you can exit the screen and still gain EXP!! This is ONE huge improvement and will certainly be much less tedious to us, and less "in the way" for our PCs while running it!!
Also, a recent update meant that you can now use REAL MONEY to buy game currency. Whilst many apps do this too, the constant reminder and persuasion of this DOES get annoying!
Restaurant City, by Playfish Games, is available to play for free on Facebook, and as such you can't really go wrong trying this out for yourself. It is addictive though, and the game's shortcomings only become truly apparent after many hours of play.
It's a very passive game, first of all, and while your restaurant is running there isn't a lot to do. I usually have the game running while I do other things, checking back occasionally to clean the toilets and feed/rest my employees. The problem with this is that when you have levelled up a few times, the game can take up a lot of memory, so I often have to abandon it when I am doing other things such as playing a different game, watching a video or making a video call.
The graphics are nice, though it is kind of odd that there are no male/female avatars. They are all based on the same model, so many of the random customers look really odd!
Collecting ingredients is a fun feature, and you can create more dishes and level up existing ones as you get more. Ingredients can be traded with friends or bought (at a high price!). I wish it were possible to trade with strangers, but I think that is an incentive to make you nag your friends to play, especially as you get a free ingredient for each friend who joins.
The main issue is that there really isn't any goal. Different furniture does not have different effects, so paying extra for them is only for those who want to play restaurant dress-up. Dishes can level up giving you more gourmet points (XP) with which you level up. As you level, your restaurant grows and you gain more staff, but once you hit level 27 (the current maximum) there really isn't much to do.

Cotton is one of the most comfortable, versatile and easy-to-find clothing materials. The downside to this material is that it shrinks when you first wash and dry it. If you simply hang the item up after washing it, the fabric may sag, stretch and take forever to dry. Sweaters are particularly troublesome because of the thick knitting. There are a couple tricks to drying your cotton sweaters without waiting forever or losing a couple of sizes in the process.
Wash the cotton sweater in cold water on the gentle cycle. Take the sweater out of the washing machine.
Lay a towel flat on a table or another flat surface. Place the sweater on the towel and roll the towel up tightly. Gently ring the towel tighter. The towel will absorb excess moisture.
Place the sweater on a flat surface to air dry. Smooth out any wrinkles while the sweater is still damp.
Wash the sweater on a gentle cycle with cold water. Take it out of the washing machine once the cycle is complete.
Place the washed sweater into a home dry cleaning bag. If you decide to add other items to the bag, make sure it doesn't get more than half full. Usually you can only place up to four garments in the bag.
Unfold a home dry cleaning cloth and put it in the bag. Zip up the bag.
Place the home dry cleaning bag in your dryer. Turn the dryer to medium heat and turn on. You should dry your item for 15 to 30 minutes. Don't place anything else in the dryer while the home dry cleaning bag is in there.
Remove the sweater from the bag. It should still be slightly damp. If the sweater isn't damp, next time reduce the drying time to five minutes.
Lay the sweater flat to air dry and smooth out any wrinkles.

This is a recurring annual survey of state government tax revenue, by type of tax. The survey covers the fifty state governments, as well as all dependent state-level governmental entities, providing a summary of annual taxes collected for up to 25 tax categories. The United States Code, Title 13, authorizes this survey and responses are voluntary.
The files and tables contain annual statistics for state governments only. They should not be interpreted as state-area data (state government plus local government tax collections combined).
While the data records are ultimately from state government sources, the classification of taxes among the different categories is entirely the responsibility of the Census Bureau. Therefore, tax classification might not reflect the actual classification or presentation as requested by the various state government respondents.
Statistics on the State Government Tax Collections Survey include measurement of tax by category: Property Tax, Sales and Gross Receipts Taxes, License Taxes, Income Taxes, and Other Taxes. Each tax category is broken down into sub-categories (e.g., motor fuel sales, alcoholic beverage sales, motor vehicle licenses, alcoholic beverage licenses, and so on). There are currently 25 different tax codes that state tax revenue may fall into.
In this survey, "taxes" are defined as all compulsory contributions exacted by a government for public purposes, except employer and employee assessments for retirement and social insurance purposes, which are classified as insurance trust revenue. Outside the scope of this collection are data on the unemployment compensation "taxes" imposed by each of the state governments. However, all receipts from licenses and compulsory fees, including those that are imposed for regulatory purposes, as well as those designated to provide revenue are included.
Tax revenue is further defined to include related penalty and interest receipts of a government, but to exclude protested amounts and refunds. The deduction from gross collections of amounts refunded is particularly significant with respect to motor fuel sales taxes ("gasoline" taxes) and individual income taxes.
The statistics reflect state government fiscal years that end on June 30, except for four states with other ending dates: Alabama and Michigan (September 30), New York (March 31), and Texas (August 31).

More than 3000 Catholic parishioners attended the 64th annual Marian Procession in the south parklands of Adelaide yesterday. This year's procession had a focus on attracting youth to the Church, reports news.com.au.
Christian Brothers College students carried a statue of the Blessed Mother Mary 1km around the Pilgrim Peace Park, near Veale Gardens.
CBC vice captain of faith, and Year 12 student, Thomas James said he was honoured to represent the school by helping to carry the statue for the third year in a row. 'It is a very spiritual moment for me and it is great for the school because it shows us in a positive light,' he said.
The statue was met by students from the Adelaide Academy of Irish Dancing while dozens of other parishioners also wore traditional costume as they marched behind Church banners while reciting the rosary.
Our Lady of Sacred Heart College students read from scriptures during the Mass while Archbishop Philip Wilson rededicated the Archdiocese of Adelaide to the patronage and care of Mary.
Archbishop Wilson, who led the procession, said that devotion to Mary had become a key focus for the Church. 'The Marian procession is truly a multicultural celebration of our faith,' he said.

The Last King of The Cross is our most recent and possibly most expensive endeavour (an estimated $40 million) to bring Sydney's Kings Cross, circa 1980s and 1990s, to the screen. The Paramount+ production focuses on real-life nightclub tycoon John Ibrahim, the titular King.
Watch the trailer for The Last King of The Cross here. Story continues below.
Corruption, bribery and violence are just the tip of the iceberg for what was happening in one of Sydney’s most dangerous districts back then, but how much of the truth will they be showing in the 10 episode series?
The series follows Ibrahim, one of four sons and two daughters who migrated to Sydney in the 1970s from war-torn Lebanon.
Eldest son Hassan, also known as Sam, fell into work enforcing business owners to funnel money into the local organised crime group. While Ibrahim was dissuaded into joining the violent lifestyle Sam had become a part of, at 16 years old he was involved in an altercation that left him stabbed and in a coma for three weeks. At 18, he opened his first club in Kings Cross. It was rumoured the club was a hub for organised drug activity.
Today, Ibrahim is a property tycoon and linked to over 17 nightclubs. The last three decades have seen him accused by the NSW Police of drug trade, extortion, and various criminal activities, however he has never been convicted for them, earning him the nickname "Teflon John" because nothing sticks.
You might recall in 2010, Underbelly took on the project on dramatising Ibrahim’s rise in The Cross in the series Underbelly: The Golden Mile.

Systemic Failure of the Banking System: Fueling the Next Crypto Bull Run
The global financial landscape has undergone significant changes in recent years, with cryptocurrencies gaining traction and demonstrating their potential as an alternative to traditional banking systems. As systemic failures in the banking sector become more apparent, many investors are turning to cryptocurrencies as a viable option for wealth preservation and generation. In this article, we will explore how the systemic failures of the banking system could fuel the next bull run in cryptocurrencies and the reasons behind this potential shift in financial paradigms.
I. The Systemic Failures of the Banking System
The ongoing trust crisis
The banking sector has experienced a series of crises over the past few decades, with the 2008 global financial crisis being the most significant. The mismanagement of risk, fraudulent activities, and a general lack of transparency have eroded public trust in banks, leading to a demand for alternative financial systems.
Inefficiency and high costs
Traditional banking systems have a reputation for being slow and inefficient, especially when it comes to cross-border transactions. High fees and charges further burden customers, causing dissatisfaction and pushing them to seek alternatives.
The centralization of power and control within the banking sector has led to a lack of competition and innovation. This has not only stifled progress but also created an environment susceptible to corruption and abuse of power.
II. How Cryptocurrencies Benefit from the Failures of Traditional Banking
Decentralization and trustlessness
Cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized, trustless systems such as blockchain technology. This means that transactions are transparent, secure, and verifiable, without the need for a central authority. As a result, cryptocurrencies can address the issues of trust and centralization plaguing the banking sector.
Cost efficiency and speed
Cryptocurrencies enable faster, more cost-effective transactions, even across borders. This is particularly advantageous in the remittance market, where the high fees and slow transaction times of traditional banking systems have been a persistent issue.
Cryptocurrencies can provide financial services to the unbanked and underbanked populations worldwide, offering a more inclusive financial ecosystem. This not only empowers these individuals but also drives innovation and competition in the financial sector.
III. The Potential Impact on the Crypto Market
Increased adoption and investment
As the systemic failures of the banking sector become more evident, more individuals and institutions are likely to turn to cryptocurrencies for their financial needs. This increased adoption could lead to a significant influx of capital into the crypto market, fueling the next bull run.
The growing distrust of traditional banking systems may push governments, regulators, and businesses to embrace cryptocurrencies as a legitimate means of exchange and store of value. This mainstream acceptance will further drive demand and encourage institutional investment in the crypto market.
Innovation and development
As more people turn to cryptocurrencies, there will be increased demand for new and innovative products and services within the crypto space. This will spur development in areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and blockchain-based applications, further bolstering the crypto market.
The systemic failures of the banking system, characterized by a lack of trust, inefficiency, and centralization, have created an environment ripe for the growth and adoption of cryptocurrencies. As more individuals and institutions recognize the potential of cryptocurrencies to address these issues, we could witness a significant shift in the global financial landscape, potentially fueling the next crypto bull run. This transition may also drive innovation and competition in the financial sector, leading to a more inclusive, transparent, and efficient financial ecosystem.

Buy-to-let market: Rent increased with rental arrears
Report demonstrated a slight recovery in the buy-to-let market as indicated by the increase in average rent prices. However, an increase in unpaid rent is illustrated in the same report.
New statistics announced by a Property Service Association revealed an increase in average rent in June for the first time in three months. The average rent rose to £659 – up by 0.1% compared to the previous month. This figure is still down by 3.4% since the peak rental prices in August 2008, while the rental yields have reached the highest point of 5.1% in five years in June. Rent price increased at its fastest rent particularly in London with a rise of 1.7% in June – which has reached an average rent of £900 a month.
The above statistics prone to show a positive trend within the market – yet, while the property rental market is looking stable; the same report recorded an increase of £1.5 million in the amount of unpaid rent in June – reaching to about £254 million. The growing amount of unpaid rent came along with a decrease in the total number of tenants who were in rent arrears – which was down from 557,000 to 529,000 compared to the previous month.
Typically, tenants in arrears are mostly coming from the lower-earners cluster who rent cheaper properties in the country. However, the trend has shifted: individuals who paid two-thirds (66%) of the average rent were the most likely to fall into rental arrears in January; while now the group of people who pay three-quarters (76%) of the average rent are the typical group who fall into rent arrears. This represented that the rental arrear is now trapping the higher-income earners.
At the beginning of the recession, the lower-income earners were the group that is more likely to be affected; nonetheless, as the economic downturn progresses, it starts to affect the higher-income earners. The unemployment rate is said to remain high while employers are practising salary freeze to limit cost increases to survive through the recession. These factors would gradually affect the higher-income earners.


A new series that aims to take a close look at the murders of Biggie Smalls and Tupac is making its way to USA Network, and in anticipation of the program titled Unsolved, the company announced the actors who’ll step into the shoes of the famed lyricists.
Wavyy Jonez will make his first on-screen appearance as Biggie, while Marcc Rose will reprise his role of ‘Pac, who he portrayed in the the well-received Straight Outta Compton film. Unsolved will follow the basis of former LAPD Detective Greg Kading, Variety reports, who spearheaded multiple groups that were responsible for solving the influential artists’ deaths.
In 1996, Tupac was gunned down in Las Vegas in a drive-by shooting. A year later, Biggie was killed in Los Angeles by a still unidentified person. The cold cases of Biggie and Tupac’s passing will also be depicted on the silver screen in a film tentatively titled LAbyrinth. Viewers will follow LAPD Detective Russell Poole, played by Johnny Depp, as he gets engulfed in trying to solve the investigations.
This year also marks the 20th anniversary of Biggie’s passing.

State of the Union is Denial
Posted by madjillmom on February 16, 2013
The state of the union is Denial. The price of gas is up, again. The price of food will follow suite again. Unemployment is actually around 14%. Obama wants to spend more and more. He wants to enroll your kids in government pre-school so union teachers can help shape their minds. He wants to tax and tax, spend and spend. He wants illegal aliens to get the few jobs available. He wants them to get food stamps. He wants to “invest” borrowed money tilting at windmills. He says it won’t cost anything.
We are more than 16 trillion in debt. We are in denial.
Quit whining and starve the beast!

With some creative budgeting, school officials are hopeful the new 152,000-square-foot high school in Cortez will include a geothermal mechanical system.
“It’s a highly efficient, earth-friendly system,” said Montezuma-Cortez Re-1 School District Superintendent Alex Carter. “It would be a smarter building.”
School board members discussed measures to fund the geothermal system for about an hour Tuesday at their monthly meeting. The price tag for the cutting-edge technology is slightly more than $6.5 million, $300,000 more expensive than a traditional heating and cooling system.
Carter explained to board members the geothermal system was projected to pay for itself in 17 years. Considering the new 152,000 square foot school would be used up to 50 years, Carter believes the up-front cost to install a geothermal system would be worth it in the end.
“The ground produces heating and cooling year around,” he said. “It’s better than solar.”
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the earth. Installing a system of conduits into the Earth’s crust, either water or antifreeze passes through the pipe system. In the summer, the liquid moves heat from the building into the ground. In the winter, it does the opposite, providing pre-warmed air and water to the heating system of the building.
School board president Tim Lanier said he believes the geothermal route would be a “smart decision.” Board member Brian Demby also reminded his colleagues that residents requested that the new high school be a “smart building.”
“I don’t know how we don’t do this,” said board member Diane Fox.
While the geothermal system would help support the new school’s LEED Gold Certification, board member Robert Waggoner was hesitant, pointing out future electrical and natural gas costs are unknown.
“Seventeen years is nothing to get the pom-poms out about,” he said. “That’s a long time.”
Projections provided to the school board indicate a 30-year energy savings from a geothermal system are approximately $285,000 and the 30-year mechanical savings are roughly $485,000. Carter said the mechanical savings alone is a no-brainer, considering a new traditional boiler cost upwards of $300,000 to replace.
“We have to make this decision now,” Carter told board members. “We can’t come back and add this later.”
Board members were in consensus to move forward and directed Carter to explore how to budget for the geothermal system, which will include 365 bore holes drilled 300 feet deep into the ground.
