national suicide prevention month
For me, especially, seeing fatal self-harm discussed purely as a disturbing wall of figures is disheartening, perhaps because I know I am among those statistics, as a survivor, and that I could have been as a casualty.
In the environmental movement they call it greenwashing: A big polluter plants a few trees in the rainforest in hopes that they can get some good publicity they can leverage for their next bad move. It's a sham and everyone knows it.
In boxing, one of the fundamental necessities of the sport is the presence of a good cornerman. In an article written a few years ago providing insight into and describing the sine qua non of the cornerman, the author declared, "he [the cornerman] must be a psychologist, able to assist the fighter through the emotional minefield that is the preparation for combat.
I almost didn't make it for one of the greatest eras of my life. Right at this very moment, no career has been more rewarding, new friendships have never been so promising, and most importantly: I love someone more fiercely, more openly and honestly than I ever have before. And it almost never happened.
I learned that what one person considers selfish, another considers selfless. For some, they believe themselves such a strenuous burden on others that their absence from this world is considered a gift. And to others, that very absence is seen as a egocentric answer to problems usually unseen.
Last year the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention set a bold goal to reduce the annual suicide rate in the United States 20 percent by 2025. That's potentially tens of thousands of lives we can save over the next ten years. A new poll we released for National Suicide Prevention Week shows we're off to a good start.
This month marked a major milestone for suicide prevention when the Golden Gate Bridge board of directors approved the first funding toward construction of a suicide barrier on the San Francisco landmark.
Mental health is not having a problem. It's how you address all of the challenges in your life. It's how you handle stress, break-ups, rejection, lack of sleep, loss and everything else. We need a clear definition of mental health as a baseline.

The Sun Trail is a great place for a stroll in Greater Yalta. Over six kilometres long, it begins outside the Livadia Palace and ends in Gaspra by the Roza Luxemburg health resort.
In the course of its long history, the trail changed its name several times.
Emperor Nicholas II called it the Horizontal Path. In 1901, acting on the Emperor's instructions, the architect came up with the idea of "6,700 metres of healthy walking" — a trail that would be good for walking and riding and would connect the palace in Livadia and Grand Prince Mikhail's Ai-Todor estate. Following the creation of the trail, the royal nephew and uncle and members of their families could walk to visit one another, enjoying the views of the sea and the mountains on their way. When the estate owners were absent, the Horizontal Path was opened to the public. Shortly, the walks became all the rage and the public began to refer to the path as the Tsar's Path: this name sounded more attractive and meaningful.
In Soviet times, any favourable association with the tsars was considered inappropriate and the path was given a new name — the Sun Trail. This name wasn't ideally suited to the trail, however, as it was mostly shaded by the trees that lined it.
Back then, the Sun Trail became a health route. Since the path has almost no ascents or descents, it was ideal for healthy walks: a stroll along the path allowed Livadia health resort patients to cleanse their lungs and strengthen their heart muscles. The ornately carved stone signs installed at a distance of 100 metres from one another to help patients calculate the distance they had covered have survived to this day, as well as the benches installed along the path.
Other relics of the socialist era that have survived to this day include whatever has remained of a relief map and a sundial — the path is called the Sun Trail, after all — as well as Dzhalita, a stone column with a sculpture of a woman's head on top, which symbolises Yalta.
The main thing that makes the Tsar's Trail so attractive is the opportunity to view stunning landscapes from observation decks. Modern residential developments, some of which sprawl as far as the trail tend to spoil the overall impression a bit but the landscape is still there and the beautiful scenery that once delighted the emperors makes people enjoy the creations of nature and man again and again.
The Tsar's Trail commands a view of the Intercession of the Mother of God Church in Lower Oreanda. Its architecture resembles that of the churches in the South Caucasus. It was built in 1885 by Grand Duke Konstantin Romanov.
The gem of the Tsar's Trail is an old pavilion that looks like a half-rotunda. The semicircle of white stone columns crowned by greenery native to southern Crimea is built into the rock, alluding to Antiquity. The pavilion offers panoramic views of the coast between Mount Ayu-Dag and Mount Koshka in Simeiz.
As soon as the pavilion is left behind, you will see the Krestovaya Cliff, which owes its name to Empress Alexandra, who put up a cross on the edge of the cliff. It was broken in Soviet times but has been restored recently. The vertical rocky slope of the cliff offers a mountaineering route, which ranks as one of the most difficult trails due to its negative tilt.
The Tsar's Trail has several paths that run to other attractions in Greater Yalta, for example, down to the bottom of The Swallow's Nest or up to the newly-built Archistratigus Michael Chapel.
Remarkable archaeological artefacts, such as Taurian cases made of rough-hewn stone blocks fitted together, can be found near the path. According to archaeologists, they served as burial vaults of the Tauri tribes who settled in this area in the Antiquity.
Next to the Tsar's Trail is an old wine vault. It was built into the rock in the 19th century and is still operational. Today, sherry is made here for the Massandra Winery.
You can take a leisurely stroll along the Tsar's Trail at any time of the year. The journey, which is good for both children and elderly people, normally lasts from 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Dr. Seuss’ Net Worth in 2020 Is Actually Shocking
Dr. Seuss is known as one of the most prolific writers of the 20th century. To this day, his books are beloved by everyone around the world. Born Theodor Seuss Geisel in 1904. The author took on the name Seuss when he was caught drinking during his time at Dartmouth College, which just happened to be the Prohibition period in America. The writer took on the honorific Dr. a few years later to appease his father, who had desperately wanted him to get into medicine.
Dr. Seuss wrote children’s books for over 60 years and continues to be one of the most loved and recognizable names in children’s literature. He was so widely successful that his net worth, nearly 30 years after his death, is massive.
This is why Dr. Seuss started writing children’s books
Dr. Seuss had a very different career before he began writing children’s books. The animator actually had a long and successful career in advertising before he penned his very first book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937.
He found his way into children’s literature because it was one of the only genres he was permitted to enter into because of his ad contracts. His first book wasn’t exactly well-received. In fact, it was rejected by no less than 27 publishers before it was finally published.
From there, Dr. Seuss would go on to write Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and many more.
‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’ is Dr. Seuss most popular book
Out of the 43 or more books that Dr. Seuss wrote throughout his lifetime, one book remains his most popular. Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, which was published on January 22, 1990. It was also the last book that Dr. Seuss published when he was still alive.
The whimsical children’s book chronicles a life’s journey and its challenges. Upon the initial publication of the book, it immediately hit The New York Times Best-Selling Fiction Hardcover list.
Since the book is wildly popular, there have been talks about a film adaptation for years. Recently, Deadline announced that J.J. Abrams would be producing an animated version of Oh, The Places You’ll Go! It is scheduled to open theatrically in 2027.
Dr. Seuss’s net worth is still massive
When the prolific writer was still alive, his books and their varied adaptations and characters made him a ton of money. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the cartoonist was worth $75 million. Dr. Seuss died of cancer in 1991 at age 87. However, his death has not lessened his impact on children’s literature, and his estate continues to make millions each year.
The late author’s Seussville is still thriving, thanks to seven-figure television and film deals. His books are also still best-sellers. Dr. Seuss sold nearly six million books in the United States in 2020.
According to Forbes, Dr. Seuss’ net worth in 2020 is $33 million.

I've blogged in the past about how the current high out of pocket cost associated with college is a reflection of the fact that conservatives have successfully implemented their preferred policies. They wanted less public subsidy for school, and that's what we now have. When the subsidy declines tuition has to go up. Media Matters complies some additional data supporting my claim that you can read here.
But conservatives in my opinion are right about one thing, and it's discussed in an article from Matt Taibbi here. Yes, state subsidy has declined. But the government is involved in ways that are highly destructive, particularly the easy access to loans. This is not much of a government subsidy because the government actually makes a profit from the system. The default rate is very low because student loans are almost impossible to discharge. You will be paying back, even if you have no job and end up on disability.
To a large degree this loan system is more a reflection of the policy preferences of our Democratic politicians. They pretend they are doing students a favor by providing loans. This helps the individual. If you don't have a college degree your job prospects are grim.
But this is kind of like saying that if you stand in the movie theater you'll get a better view. That's true for the individual, but causes a collective problem. Now everyone needs to stand to have a view that will be no better than if everyone had just continued to sit. Cut the loans off and fewer people will go to school, but this doesn't mean demand for workers will necessarily change. These days some employers are demanding a 4 year degree even for work that in the end is simply manual labor. If fewer people have degrees employers will settle for workers without that degree.
Unfortunately for the young they don't have powerful advocates. Educational institutions lobby hard, especially to Democrats, and they prefer that the loan money continues to flow. It's wrecking the lives of the young, saddling them with crushing debt to acquire a degree that doesn't do much in terms of making them productive employees. Similarly Republicans aren't interested in doing what it takes to solve the problem (returning subsidy to it's former levels). Yes, I understand that this incentivizes people to acquire loans that may not be necessary, but this also is a factor in the loan problem. As with so many other issues the harm here is a bipartisan effort. Neither the Republicans nor Democrats are representing people. Only the wealthy interest.

The trumpeter moves from ensemble to ensemble, and the latest jump is one of his most daring. Triveni finds him in a trio with bassist Omer Avital and drummer Nasheet Waits, filling a fair amount of negative space with the kind of informal wisdom that an improviser can really make a name on. Themes appear–Trane’s “Wise One” and Duke’s “Mood Indigo” get a twirl–but the music is all about the communication between its creators, which is absolutely arresting in some spots. This is freebop as a dialect that incorporates all other languages.

Florida’s Route 1, also known as the Overseas Highway, runs 113 miles from Miami through the Florida Keys. You’ve seen it in countless car commercials and movie car chases. The Seven Mile Bridge - the longest bridge in existence when it was built - crosses Pigeon Key and connects the Middle Keys to the Lower Keys.
Is there any highway more iconic than U.S. Route 66? Established in 1927, the “Mother Road” runs from Illinois to Oklahoma and across the U.S. Southwest from Texas to New Mexico, ending in Santa Monica, California. According to pop music, you can get your kicks along the fabled highway, which was one of the most important routes west for those escaping the Dust Bowl in the 1930s.
The 34-mile-long Trollstigveien, which translates literally as Troll’s Path, crosses fjords, waterfalls, and frozen lakes as it dips and climbs (and makes 11 hairpin turns) through valleys and steep mountains near the western coast of Norway. Ice renders the drive particularly hazardous, so the road closes in late October and re-opens in May, weather permitting.
An Australian National Heritage Site, the Great Ocean Road runs 151 miles along Australia’s southeastern coast between Torquay and Allansford. The highway, which was constructed as a monument to World War I soldiers, is the biggest war monument in the world. It traverses rainforests, beaches and limestone cliffs.
A 12-mile stretch of the San Juan Skyway (a leg of Route 550, which runs from new Mexico to Colorado west of the Continental Divide) has been designated The Million Dollar Highway. This pass, which runs from Uncompahgre Gorge to the summit of Red Mountain Pass, is treacherous, steep, winding and lacks guardrails.
Romania’s Transfăgărășan Highway, also known as Ceaușescu's Folly, covers over 50 miles of terrain through the Carpathian Mountains. It’s the second highest paved road in the country and was originally built as a strategic military road to defend against a potential Soviet invasion. The steep rises and hairpin turns as well as access to Bâlea Lake and Bâlea Waterfall make it a popular drive.
California’s State Route 1 covers over 650 miles of Pacific coastline from Dana Point to Mendocino, making it the longest road in the state. The first section of the road to be built – and perhaps still the most stunning – is the stretch that includes Big Sur and runs from roughly Monterey in the north to Pismo Beach in the south.
Made famous by a car chase in the James Bond movie Goldfinger, the Furka Pass winds its way through the Swiss Alps between the Canton of Uri and the Canton of Valais. Sheer drops, hairpin turns, and stunning views, including the one of the Rhone Glacier, make this a memorable drive.

The Communist Party in Ohio and Cuyahoga County, Ohio
A group of socialists from Ohio and Cuyahoga County leave the national Socialist Party to form a local Communist section. They adopt Lenin’s interpretation of orthodox Marxism.
Party leaders promoted massive projects of social engineering – lineage-based kinship structures were to be broken up, gender and authority roles reworked, classes abolished, and ethnonational differences eliminated. They accorded a special role to knowledge and expertise, which they claimed to monopolize.
The Communist Party dominated the Soviet Union after 1917 when a group with a decidedly Marxist philosophy took control of government in the country. This cadre imposed a strict set of ideals and practices on populations throughout the world.
Lenin’s Bolsheviks, ascribing to the principles of Marxism, seized power in Russia’s October Revolution. Among their early actions was the Red Terror, the mass execution of members of the Czar’s regime and the Provisional Government.
Local communists garnered support in particular communities, developing a distinctive geography of activism. They staffed labor and left wing organizations, either starting them or moving into leadership positions in existing groups. They also led strikes, including the Seattle general strike of 1919. In the late 19th century, two young parties emerged from a split in the old Socialist Party: the Communist Labor Party on Aug. 31 and the Communist Party on Sept. 1. The naming of the new parties reflected aspirations for class struggle policy and sectarianism on the part of the older group.
The party consolidated its hold on labor organizations and other groups. Party members rarely declared their membership in unions and other political groups, so its influence was semi-secret. But alert Washingtonians knew that Communists controlled the most active local groups.
Party leaders believed that they could strengthen their own positions by taking part in everyday struggles and by injecting those struggles with socialist principles. This was a break with sectarianism and a recognition of the need for broad mass work.
Party members were dedicated to a revolution that would destroy bourgeois capitalism and establish a new society based on equality of all peoples. Existing social relations would be transformed – lineage-based kinship structures broken up, gender differences minimized, classes eliminated, ethnonational distinctions erased. Social life would revolve around state and collective farms, teams and brigades instead of families, villages and petty associations.
Dedicated to building an alternative to the world of bourgeois capitalism, communist leaders launched an assault on all forms of inequality. Religion would be attacked as superstition, pedagogy broadened to instill a puritan socialist ethic, and social organization expanded into state and collective farms, teams, and brigades to replace lineage-based kin groupings, gender differences, class, and ethnonational distinctions (Kligman 1998).
Every five years the party convened an all-member National Congress, where policies were set and top leadership selected. Between Congresses members elected a central committee and a secretariat, known as the Organization Bureau or Orgbureau. This was entrusted with administrative functions while the Politbureau was tasked with formulation of party policies. Lenin’s April 1920 article “Left-Wing Communism” made an important impact, moving the party away from narrow sectarianism.
Aiming to create new moralities and new modes of social control, Party cadres intervened exhaustively in every sphere of life. They accorded a privileged place to knowledge and expertise, which they sought to monopolize, and developed hieratic speech that used reduced vocabularies and clusters of noun phrases and verbs to create a standardized authoritative discourse.
They centralized and controlled civil society, taking over and running the ostensibly independent trade unions, writers’ organizations, theaters and film companies, etc. They also unified educational conducts at all levels, from student admission to curriculum development.
They relied on a theory, called Marxism-Leninism, to guide development and to explain current and future trends. As belief in Marxism-Leninism waned, Party members began to rely on more earthly criteria to judge performance.
The CP’s hard work and reliability in daily struggles won it millions of members in a matter of months. Its militant fight for racial equality brought thousands of black radicals into the fold.
By contrast, the right wing of the Socialist Party leadership refused to allow the majority of its membership to elect new national delegates and started a purge of left-led state organizations and language federations. The CP split from the SP in 1919.
The CP continues to have huge influence in trade unions, shops, and other working-class organizations. Its main departments are organization and propaganda. Yet it is a party of many factions and Xi’s consolidation of power could weaken the centralized structure that made the CCP so successful. This could undermine the ability of the party to navigate reforms and maintain its grip on China’s economy.

Aortic valve replacement is a high-risk surgery (3%–5%, 30-day mortality) performed on approximately 30,000 elderly patients a year in the United States. Currently, preoperative risk assessment is based on a composite of medical examination and a subjective evaluation for frailty (“eyeball test”). Objective frailty assessment using validated indices has the potential to improve risk stratification. The purpose of this study was to (1) establish whether frailty can predict 30-day mortality and composite morbidity in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement and (2) compare the predictive ability of 3 frailty indices in this population.
This study was a retrospective cohort study of 3088 patients 65 years old and older undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery (based on current procedure terminology codes) between the years 2006 and 2012 extracted from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Frailty was assessed using the modified frailty index, risk analysis index, and Ganapathi indices. Outcomes measured were 30-day mortality and composite morbidity (myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, reintubation, renal insufficiency, coma >24 hours, urinary tract infections, sepsis, deep vein thrombosis, deep wound surgical site infection, superficial site infection, and reoperation).
Frailty was a better predictor of mortality than morbidity, and it was not markedly different among any of the 3 indices. Frailty was associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality and longer lengths of stay.
Frailty can predict mortality in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement. Choice of frailty index does not make a difference in this patient population.

Standout ITC Litigator Joins Paul Hastings’ Intellectual Property Practice in Washington, D.C., Accelerating IP Growth
December 01, 2021
Washington, D.C. — Paul Hastings LLP, a leading global law firm, announced today that Kecia Reynolds has joined the firm’s Intellectual Property (IP) practice as a partner, based in Washington, D.C. Ms. Reynolds is a preeminent IP litigator who has, over the past 20 years, litigated more than 50 cases before the International Trade Commission (ITC) with a strong track record of victories. She joins from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP. Her arrival furthers the strong performance and growth of the firm’s IP practice, following the recent addition of partner Matthias Kamber in San Francisco, as well as the firm’s other lateral growth in Washington, D.C.
“I am excited to join Paul Hastings’ leading IP practice and look forward to growing my practice through collaboration with this impressive team of IP litigators,” said Ms. Reynolds. “Paul Hastings’ strong upward trajectory, firm culture, and intentional focus on the future of IP litigation are just a few of the reasons that compelled me to join.”
Ms. Reynolds represents a wide array of technology clients in IP and unfair trade disputes before the ITC. As lead counsel, she won cases for complainants and respondents in patent and trademark infringement cases in various technical fields, including mechanical devices, consumer electronics, medical devices, semiconductors, and chemical materials. From 2007 to 2012, Ms. Reynolds served at the ITC as a Senior Investigative Staff Attorney for the Office of Unfair Import Investigations, where she was trial counsel representing the U.S. government.

Stress, Memory and Bosnian War Veterans
Keywords:posttraumatic stress disorder, memory, trauma, war veterans, RBMT
The aim of this study was to analyze cognitive dysfunction in PTSD. The testing included 79 Bosnian Army veterans, who participated in Bosnian war from 1992 to 1995. Out of 79 tested war veterans, 45 of developed PTSD while 34 did not. The veterans without PTSD where included in the control group. All the war veterans were of the same education level (secondary education) and between 30 and 50 years of age. Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test - RBMT was applied to all the subjects. The test was originally developed for the purpose of everyday memory problems identification. Clear goal of the 10 RBMT subtests is simulation of everyday life situations. PTSD group achieved significantly lower results than the control group. Results of the total score showed highly significant difference between PTSD and control group. Value of the t-test is t=10,056 with significance level of p<0,001. The same conclusion stands for any RBMT subtest. Numerous psychological studies on PTSD patients show more prominent psychological deficit in war veterans. Our study clearly confirms that finding.

Volkswagen recalls over 7.6 lakh cars worldwide for updating the braking system
Volkswagen AG is recalling over 7.6 lakh cars worldwide for the braking system updation. Brands under its umbrella which are affected include Skoda and Audi. The details aren't clear yet as to which models are affected. VW says that if the driver were to over steer, understeer or slam the brakes hard, the pads will not function as expected, leading to loss of control. OVERDRIVE has got a confirmation that none of the Volkswagen cars sold in India have been affected with this recall.
Volkswagen AG is still reeling under the diesel gate scandal. It has so far recalled more than a million diesel cars which were found to have been tampered to give out wrong emission data. In India, as well, many cars were recalled to have their software updated.

21 February 2013
“The Charity Commission, the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales today welcomed the guilty verdicts in this case. The court heard how the charity’s name and fundraising materials had been used to fraudulently fundraise for terrorist purposes.
This is a clear signal to those who abuse the name of legitimate charities and deceive the public who want to give money to good causes that they will be caught and brought to justice.
It is abhorrent that these people abused the name and reputation of the registered charity, Muslim Aid, in this way and tricked the public who gave money to these men thinking it would go to the charity and be used to help people in need. Unfortunately, charities can fall victim to fraudulent individuals which is why it is critical that trustees put in place necessary safeguards within their means to protect their charity.
The charity, reported what went on to us by way of a serious incident report in September 2011 relating to a volunteer continuing to fundraise without the charity’s permission, after being contacted by the Police. At that time, the Commission engaged with the charity on this issue. The charity advised us that it would be reviewing its policies relating to volunteer fundraisers following the incident. The Commission was satisfied that the charity’s trustees had put a suitable plan in place. We remain in contact with them on all relevant issues.
It is always unacceptable when individuals abuse the good name of charity, and the high trust the public hold charities in, for their own gain.”


Gay families more common, but still legally unprotected
GAYBY BOOM, Legal protections lag
While attitudes toward LGBT parenting have evolved alongside the discussion of samesex marriage, Gates points out that laws have not kept pace to ensure that LGBT parents are protected — especially in the South, which cites a higher percentage of same-sex couples raising children than other regions.
“The geographic data suggest that many same-sex couples raising children live in states with legal environments that at best are not supportive and at worst are openly hostile toward LGB individuals and their families,” he noted.
Nationally, adjusted numbers from the 2010 Census showed 17 percent of same-sex couples raising their “own” children (defined as kids under 18 who are sons or daughters of one partner by birth, marriage or adoption). In Georgia, the 2010 Census showed 20 percent of samesex couples raising children.
Gay couples are banned from marrying in Georgia. State law is silent on the topic of adoptions by gay parents, leaving decisions in the hands of individual judges.
Another force that doesn’t seem to be keeping pace with societal changes is the market. Whereas insemination and surrogacy options have gone from niche to almost mainstream, the price of assisted fertilization has expanded as well.
“This service costs money,” conceded Panacci of the Feminist Women’s Health Center. “We’ve tried very hard as a non-profit organization to keep our costs to where it’s accessible to as many people as possible.”
The rising cost of health care and prescription drugs, as well as an almost tripling of sperm bank prices over the past 15 years, makes donor insemination too costly for some.
“We had a few friends who had gone before us, so we knew the costs were really expensive,” said Jamie Fergerson, who is the parent of a 7-month-old son along with her husband, Max, who is transgender.
“And so we had been saving money for a couple of years before we started trying to get pregnant,” Fergerson said. “The cost is certainly prohibitive for some people, and a stretch for a lot of people.”
William Kinnane and John Petersen, a gay couple in Sandy Springs, spent more than $35,000 over four years trying to adopt a child. They now have a three-year-old daughter, Riley, and are thinking about expanding their family.
“We might do surrogacy or through foster care,” said Kinnane, who added that they are also considering an international adoption.
Despite the gayby boom that is seen in public and popular media, the majority of LGBT individuals and couples remain childless, according to Gates’ research.
Petersen and Kinnane were among the LGBT parents attending the 4th annual MEGA Family Conference hosted by the MEGA Family Project Nov. 3, and Kinnane said the organization helps connect them with other families.
Ferguson believes parenthood can be particularly isolating for LGBT and queer couples whose peers are childless, and considers her young family fortunate to have a broad support group.
“Most of our friends don’t have kids, but we’re lucky that we’ve built a friend community that loves children, and they love our child,” Fergerson said. “We’re also lucky that our families of origin are pretty supportive now. I wouldn’t say that it’s always been that way or that it was easy for them to come to the place where they’re happy and supportive, but everyone loves a grandchild.”

While it’s fun to watch somebody that loves their penis just fucking lay some magic on that thing, it’s even more excellent to watch somebody who takes the time to make it look as special as it really is. KummWithM3’s efforts to make fleshlight videos to share that match the beauty and joy that he is putting on display.
A Fleshlight is extra magical, extra close-up. I’m a big fan of masturbators of all stripes. I prattled on about this video from Beau Banks so much that somebody actually GOT me a Fleshlight Turbo (there’s a real review of that coming up at some point, I promise).

Updated 15:00 GMT: Updated with commentary from co-founder of BitAngelsClub Eric Gu.
A false report published on a financial news feed run by Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo was responsible for the sharp decline in bitcoin prices across China’s biggest exchanges today (21st March).
At 10:22 am GMT, Sina’s financial live feed issued a now-retracted news report indicating that China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), would move to halt all bitcoin transactions in the country effective 15th April.
If true, the news would have interrupted a period of improved relations between the burgeoning bitcoin ecosystem and the nation’s lawmakers, but coincided with the PBOC’s temporary ban on QR codes issued last week.
Read the initial news statement from Sina:
“It is rumored that on March 18th the PBOC had issued a notice calling for all bitcoin transactions to be halted by April 15th. As of today the PBOC has not confirmed nor denied the statement.”
The story was later retracted by the news site following clarification from Chinese regulators, in a release issued more than an hour later at 11:48 GMT on 21st March.
Read a translation of the updated post:
“Regarding the PBOC statement issued on 3/18 requesting all bitcoin transactions to be halted before 4/15, those close to the regulatory body told Sina Finance on Friday, the PBOC did issue a document, but it was not to ban/halt bitcoin transactions, instead to strengthen regulatory oversight of bitcoin transactions, circulation and redemptions.”
“The report by certain media that ‘PBOC has issued a document as of 3/18, requesting all bitcoin transactions be halted by 4/15’ is in error. The attitude of the PBOC towards bitcoin has been clearly stated by the [5th December] document issued by the PBOC and five other agencies.”
The company acknowledged the damage its report caused, noting that it “quickly caused panic in the bitcoin community”, and that “bitcoin’s domestic prices [were] likely to fall significantly” as a result of its error.
CoinDesk’s Bitcoin Price Index indicates that the price of bitcoin was down 2%, or roughly $12 on the news, though prices were impacted more severely on China-based bitcoin exchanges.
Sina indicated that its report caused the price of bitcoin to fall 5%, dropping from 3,691 yuan ($592.99) to 3,400 yuan ($546.24), though a closer look at bitcoin price data across the major China-based exchanges shows the damage was far worse for certain investors.
Data from Bitcoincharts suggests the price of bitcoin on BTC China hit a low of 3,301 yuan at 11:00am GMT, dropping from 3,568 in just 30 minutes.
BitcoinWisdom shows that China-based exchange OKCoin experienced a more aggressive fall in price, crashing from around 3,600 yuan to 3,100 and below from 10:30am GMT to 11:00am GMT.
BitcoinWisdom’s Huobi data shows a similar decline on this exchange, from roughly 3,600 yuan to a low of approximately 3,200 yuan within the same time window.
Community members reactions ranged from begrudgingly bemused to irate, with some reddit users falling into the former camp given the fact that China’s stance on digital currencies has seemingly changed frequently over the last few months.
Others suggested that the digital currency’s susceptibility to such negative news is a weakness that will hinder adoption.
Reaction in China’s bitcoin business community leaned more toward outrage at the news organization’s seemingly negligent reporting.
VC investor and CoinDesk contributor Rui Ma took to Twitter to clarify the news, and voice her frustrations about the actions of the social media giant.
— Rui Ma (@ruima) March 21, 2014
Eric Gu, co-founder of BitAnglesClub, an international incubator focused on digital currencies, chose to view the events with a hint of optimism. Though, he acknowledged that they are evidence of the fragile state of China’s market.
“The fact that [the] Chinese central bank swiftly came out off working hour to dismiss the rumor indicated that [it] has no plan to shutdown bitcoin exchanges any time soon.”
At press time, the price the price of bitcoin on BTC China had recovered to a low of 3,519 ($565.36 at press time), though this was down from an opening low of 3,654 yuan, suggesting that the damage from the report was still impacting the market.

New emergency shelter opens for men in Shelby
In two weeks, the Cleveland County Rescue Mission was able to set up a men’s emergency shelter just as temperatures plummeted.
“The need was there, and we wanted to make sure no one froze to death or died because we didn’t have shelter,” said shelter Executive Director Michael Woods.
The emergency shelter, located at 301 N. Washington St., Shelby, can house 12 men a night to keep in line with COVID-19 guidelines for shelters. Woods, Cleveland County Rescue Mission board members and staff all realized an emergency shelter would be needed in the coming months, but money and staffing were going to be the largest hurdles.
Over the last two weeks in January, Woods and the shelter staff were able to secure funding to run the emergency shelter, clean out the building on Washington Street that use to be home to the women’s shelter and hire the male staff needed to run the overnight accommodations.
“We were in a position where we didn’t have the male staff to staff the emergency shelter,” Woods said. “We set a goal to open this past Wednesday, and we were able to. And I hired all the staff on Wednesday morning.”
Keeping staff on and safe, along with residents, has been one of the biggest issues the group has faced during the last year.
“Staffing has been a major issue,” Woods said.
Unlike other organizations that require a negative COVID-19 to enter, the shelter does not require one. They treat everyone who walks through the door like they have COVID-19, Woods said.
“It makes it a bit more hazardous for the staff and everyone there,” he said.
Woods hopes to keep the emergency shelter up and running through March. But it might be difficult if more funds aren’t secured for it and the long term shelter on Buffalo Street. He thinks more people may need the services offered by the shelter as this pandemic continues.
“I think that one of the things that have come out of COVID is that we have seen more people in more of a desperate situation,” he said.
It hasn’t been the easiest time, but Woods will take any win he can get.
“What has been really good out of this couple of weeks is that we have identified men that maybe want to overcome their addiction,” he said. “We’ve been able to get them tested (for COVID-19) and get them in a recovery program in Asheville.”
So far, four people have entered the program at the Western Carolina Rescue Ministry in Asheville that Woods also runs.
“It has been really positive,” he said. “We’ve been able to help people that really want it.”
The emergency shelter is open seven days a week. Intake is from 5-7 p.m.

The main entrance to Pensacola State College’s Milton campus was closed Tuesday, following a fatal officer-involved shooting after police pursuit of a stolen vehicle.
Cops say a dump truck was stolen from The Other Place gas station on Dogwood Drive and a subsequent traffic stop was initiated on U.S. 90 at the Santa Rosa County School Board’s Dillon Center near Avalon Boulevard.
However, the suspect fled, turning onto the PSC campus and prompting a chase.
Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Sgt. Rich Aloy confirmed that multiple cop cars were rammed and “severely damaged” during the pursuit, which ended with the fatal shooting of the suspect.
“The incident did not involve the school,” Aloy said, noting the campus was open for classes via an entrance on the west side of the school.
According to the City of Milton Police Department, the shooting involved two City of Milton officers and one Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office deputy and none of the officers were injured.
Per standard procedure, all three officers have been placed on administrative leave, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the case since it was an officer-related shooting.

From the mid-$900,000s
206-321-7368 or camwest.com
SEATTLE -- Perched on Magnolia Bluff, Briarcliff at Magnolia offers buyers a choice of seven floor plans with up to five bedrooms.
Built by CamWest, a Toll Brothers company, the community is located within a mile of parks, restaurants and services, and includes homesites with views of downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier, the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
"This is the only brand-new home community in Magnolia -- one of Seattle's most desirable neighborhoods," says Tana Lehman, the community sales manager. "It's rare to find an opportunity like this: a community within a community."
Lehman says the advantages of buying new versus resale in a neighborhood like Magnolia are numerous.
"The floor plans are designed to be much more open, in keeping with how people like to live today," she says. "The homes are more energy efficient and have larger windows to capture the views and natural light. You also have the advantage of our 10-year warranty program through Quality Warranty Builders Corp."
The drive to Briarcliff at Magnolia offers a preview of some of the 36 homes' future outlooks, including views of the Space Needle, downtown high-rises and Mount Rainier to the southeast, and the waters of the Puget Sound and snow-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains to the west.
Set alongside an established Magnolia streetscape, the homes are within a mile of conveniences and amenities such as a new Metropolitan Market, as well as Magnolia's business district, known as the "village." There, homebuyers will find popular destination shops and eateries like Szmania's Restaurant & Bar, Serendipity Café and Lounge, Magnolia Village Pub, Magnolia's Bookstore and Leroux Fine Apparel.
The Magnolia neighborhood has nine parks, including the 534-acre Discovery Park, which is just a half-mile from Briarcliff at Magnolia. The largest city park in Seattle, Discovery Park includes historic Fort Lawton, 11 miles of trails, two miles of tidal beaches, and landscapes that vary from open meadows to thick forests to dramatic sea cliffs.
Construction has begun at Briarcliff at Magnolia, and 10 homes are in various stages of permitting. Presale opportunities are also available.
Homebuyers can customize their homes through the builder's CamYes! program. They work directly with project manager Scott Petrie to tailor their homes to their needs and style.
Floor plans include two- and three-story designs with formal living rooms, daylight basements, private guest suites, kitchens with oversize islands, master suites with five-piece baths, and two-car garages.
Additional features include second-floor bonus rooms, main-floor flex spaces, covered porches, private balconies off the master suites and additional storage spaces.
"Some of the homes have 25-foot-deep backyards, which are a good size for in-city living," Lehman says.
Buyers will be able to choose from a variety of exterior architectural styles.
"I like the architectural designs of the homes -- they are a good fit for the Magnolia neighborhood," Lehman says. "We have a diverse selection of contemporary and Craftsman styles."
Homebuyers at Briarcliff at Magnolia can lock in today's mortgage rates for up to 12 months by working with Toll Brothers' subsidiary, TBI Mortgage Company.
Toll Brothers was named 2012 Builder of the Year by Professional Builder magazine, becoming the first builder to win the honor twice. Its 2011 purchase of CamWest Development, LLC -- which has been building homes locally for more than 20 years -- expanded the company's reach to the Pacific Northwest.
Founded in 1967, Toll Brothers is now building homes in 20 states.

I’m the owner and operator of Pronghorn Productions, a full-service nature and wildlife company. My primary pursuit is collecting and selling stock footage, most of which is on my website HDNatureFootage I also write and publish books about wildlife.
My Wildlife Footage
After receiving a M.S. degree in Wildlife Sciences I worked 30 years as a wildlife biologist, primarily with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service. During that time I conducted numerous wildlife studies and published scores of scientific papers (see bottom of this page) and wrote or co-edited several books.
I also started my own nature and wildlife production company Pronghorn Productions. Now retired from the federal government, I work full time collecting nature and wildlife stock footage from around the world, which I sell primarily thru HDNatureFootage.net. A few short demo videos are shown below with a larger collection at WildlifeFootage.net.
If you need nature and wildlife stock footage, or an author or researcher on wildlife studies, please contact me.

USDJPY Analysis – March-1-2024
USDJPY Analysis – The value of the Japanese yen has fallen beyond 150 against the US dollar. This drop has reversed the recent improvements. The decline followed statements from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda. He indicated it is premature to expect the central bank’s 2% inflation target to be consistently met.
Ueda emphasized the importance of examining further data—especially related to wages before making any decisions. The need to observe the emergence and growth of a beneficial wage and inflation cycle was highlighted.
Bank of Japan’s Cautious Stance on Policy Change
Governor Ueda’s cautious remarks contrast with those of BOJ board member Hajime Takata. Takata had previously suggested that the bank should start planning the end of its highly lenient monetary policy. He specifically mentioned moving away from negative interest rates and controlling bond yields. These differing viewpoints within the Bank of Japan underscore a significant moment of contemplation.
The bank is weighing the timing and strategy for shifting away from its current economic support measures.
USDJPY Analysis: Market Reactions and Future BOJ Directions
The Japanese yen has been notably weak throughout the year. This is mainly due to the Bank of Japan’s persistent easy-money policies. These policies starkly contrast to the tighter monetary strategies of other central global banks. Investors and market analysts closely monitor these developments. They seek to understand how Japan’s monetary policy landscape might evolve.
The balance between stimulating economic growth and controlling inflation is a delicate one. The BOJ’s future decisions will be critical in shaping Japan’s economic trajectory.

Jin Shin Jyutsu ®
The healing Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu ® has a broad philosophical base and is very easy and practical to practice. It is not a massage or a relaxation technique. Neither a belief nor a religion, it helps to restore and support a healthy state of being. The practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu is done through simple exercise that can be applied by a practitioner as well as oneself through gentle touch in specific places on the body.
Areas of our bodies can be overloaded when our lives experience traumatic daily stress. Accumulation of tension can lead to illness, disease, emotional and/or mental suffering which can be dissolved through the practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu.
Jin Shin Jyutsu has been recognized and applied in hospitals and clinics all over the world as an integrative practice, supporting complex physical and mental issues.
Jin Shin Jyutsu helps with many issues. Here are some of the more common ones:
As our bodies become more balanced, people begin to notice changes in their overall health, and begin to notice messages that the body sends. This allows us to see things in a more positive perspective, as well as know when and where to focus where we place our hands. As a result of working with Jin Shin Jyutsu ®, people have noticed the following positive effects:

MANILA — Incoming Chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Supt. Ronald Dela Rosa will resign after six months if he fails to reduce criminality and drugs in the country.
Dela Rosa would personally ask President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to sack and replace him if he fails to stop the proliferation of illegal drugs within the three-to-six months target.
“I will step down if you see me as a failure. If I will not deliver a good result in six months. I will surrender and I will tell him (Duterte): ‘I cannot do it, please release me, let me go’,” Dela Rosa said in an interview at Camp Crame in Quezon City.
Dela Rosa aims to accomplish the anti-criminality and drugs campaign within the three to six months timeframe and he will make every effort to attain.
The center piece of the Duterte administration is peace and order and the plan to reduce criminality and corruption within the said time frame
Dela Rosa is set to focus on eliminating drugs while reducing other forms of crime as well.
” We need to get rid of those first then at the same time, we need to eliminate all other forms of crime,” he said.
While admitting that he is indeed a junior compared to the other qualified senior police officers, dela Rosa said what he could offer is his sincerity as head of the national police organization.
Dela Rosa said he would replicate the peace and order strategies which he developed and implemented in Davao City in various police offices across the country.And part of it is a regular assessment of the performance of the police commanders, from regional directors to town police chiefs, to determine if they still have to stay on the job.
“Three months after their appointment, we will evaluate their performance if they measure up on the expectation of the public,” said dela Rosa.
According to Dela Rosa they will conduct a lifestyle check among the force to remove officials involved in illegal activities.
“We will do every approach — legal or illegal — to stop these officials from doing just the same act over again,” he insisted.
The incoming PNP Chief said that he also wanted the station commanders of each police station to be more engaged in the field to help the reduction of petty crimes.
”We will assign district directors in Metro Manila. We will make sure that these directors are not just hired to do office works but also field works,” Dela Rosa said.
Dela Rosa, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class 1986, used to be the provincial director of Davao Oriental before he was appointed as director of the Davao City Police.
He also serve as executive director of the Directorate for Human Resources and Doctrine Development, to earn his first star which he did a few month ago. Christopher Lloyd Caliwan/PNA/northboundasia.com
