On Thursday, the Smart Bitcoin Cash team announced the launch of the Smartbch testnet explaining that developers and decentralized app makers can now experiment and develop with the high-performance, EVM-compatible Bitcoin Cash sidechain. Further, Bitcoin.com News spoke with Wang Kui the lead developer of the Smartbch project. The Smartbch tech lead told our newsdesk about the inner workings of the sidechain that can connect with the Ethereum network.
Testnet for Smart Bitcoin Cash, a Bitcoin Cash Layer-2 Project Is Live
During the last few weeks, the Smartbch project has been a topical conversation within the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) community. The reason for these conversations is because the Smartbch team has revealed a project that is EVM and Web3 compatible, but far cheaper in terms of transaction fees. This is because the Smartbch project is a sidechain built on Bitcoin Cash and it leverages the BCH chain’s lower transaction fees. Bitcoin.com has reported on the project on a few occasions since it was announced and on April 29, the team has revealed the Smartbch testnet is now live.
The Smartbch testnet will allow decentralized application (dapp) creators and programmers the ability to test and deploy experimental projects using the testing framework. Developers should read the recently published Smartbch testnet documentation before getting started. The team’s testnet announcement notes that the BCH community has been waiting for this project to go live, and said the project Telegram channel has swelled with members.
For instance, the Coinflex exchange has had its development team testing the testnet of Smartbch while it was still private. “Metamask is connecting without issue and solidity code is working well. We set up a DEX on our private testnet, created tokens…and it’s all going smoothly,” Mark Lamb, CEO of Coinflex said. The Smartbch team says the concept is the first-of-its-kind sidechain for Bitcoin Cash and there are many benefits BCH offers.
“Bitcoin Cash itself is not specifically equipped for smart contracting functions, preferring use cases centered around peer-to-peer cash,” the Smartbch team said on Wednesday. “However, as a sidechain to Bitcoin Cash, Smartbch aims to build a new playground for the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem and enlarge the user base.” Wang Kui the lead developer of the Smartbch further discussed the protocol with Bitcoin.com News this week.
Wang Kui stresses that the protocol provides an EVM and Web3 compatible sidechain for Bitcoin Cash, staking its hash power while utilizing BCH as the native gas-paying token. “What’s more, by incorporating hardware-friendly components, vastly increased scalability is unlocked,” Kui remarked. Moreover, the Smartbch tech lead discussed the project in great detail with Bitcoin.com News in an exclusive interview transcribed below.
An In-Depth Interview With the Smart Bitcoin Cash Tech Lead Wang Kui
Bitcoin.com News (BCN): What made you decide to start such a venture and why did you choose to leverage the Bitcoin Cash network?
Wang Kui (WK): I have been talking about the project background, since the second half of 2018, I have been working on how to maximize TPS (Transactions Per Second). But the work has been on and off as I was assigned with other tasks. By the second half of 2020, I finally found a feasible way after many failures. After discussing the idea with industry leaders, we decided to deliver my research results by launching Smartbch.
The main reason for choosing the Bitcoin Cash network is that it features big blocks. Based on my professional background and work experience, I think optimization measures should be taken to give full play to the ability of the computing system itself. You can call it ‘brute force.’ However, Ethereum prefers ‘subtle’ ways like sharding and layer2. The reason I choose to leverage the Bitcoin Cash protocol is because I’m a big supporter of Bitcoin Cash, and I think it is the most in line with the original vision of Satoshi, which is to “serve as many people as possible.
BCN: Can you explain to our readers how Smartbch aims to enhance EVM throughput and Web3 apps?
WK: First we abandoned the single-thread semantics defined in Ethereum’s yellow paper. Single-thread semantics is not a must to support EVM and Web3 and it blocks many optimizations. Second, we developed a lot of low-level libraries which support parallel execution of EVM transactions to exploit the potential of modern CPU and SSD. Last but not least, we optimized the EVM execution engine and storage engine, which makes each EVM instruction run faster.
BCN: Have third-party BCH developers been looking into the SmartBCH protocol?
WK: Yes, we will have several companies confirmed and will join our testnet and participate to be the validator. And we have several new applications developed and dedicated for Smartbch and several existing applications being ported to Smartbch.
BCN: The throughput is quoted as being “one billion gas every 15 seconds.” Can you explain how that will work?
WK: Ethereum’s consensus engine and execution engine must be run in serial and in the block interval the new block must be executed several times on different peer-to-peer nodes, because it uses the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm. By optimizing the consensus algorithm and allowing the consensus engine and execution engine to run concurrently, we must speed it by about five times.
By executing the EVM transactions in parallel, we can speed up the execution by about ten times. And by reducing each EVM instruction’s time consumption, we can further speed it up by about two to three times. So overall we are confident to speed up ethereum by 100 times.
BCN: How will Bitcoin Cash miners be affected by Smartbch?
WK: Bitcoin Cash miners can vote for their validators on Smartbch and get gas fee rewards, such that they can benefit from decentralized finance (defi) applications on Smartbch.
BCN: Would you say that Smartbch will be able to produce the same results as a myriad of the defi apps built on Ethereum? Like Stablecoins, AMMs, liquidity pools, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and tools of that nature.
WK: All the Ethereum defi apps can be ported to Smartbch with negligible efforts. Also, we are expecting new applications which require high-throughput and low-gas-price to run will emerge on Smartbch.
BCN: When you say “Smart Bitcoin Cash’s innovation lies in libraries” what does that mean?
WK: Instead of inventing fancy consensus and cryptographic algorithms, we decided to adopt another methodology: to develop low-level libraries with an aim to fully uncover the hardware’s potential, especially its inherent parallelism. Ordinary users and developers are provided with a compatibility layer supporting EVM and Web3, so the optimized low-level ‘close to the metal’ libraries themselves remain concealed by this layer of abstraction. During the implementation, we used the codename ‘Moeing,’ which is added to the libraries’ names as prefix.
These libraries follow the UNIX philosophy: simple, short, clear, modular, and extensible. Other projects can reuse them and benefit from them.
BCN: As far as cryptocurrency in general, do you envision the industry seeing exponential growth going forward as we have seen during the end of 2020 and into 2021?
WK: I am not sure about what will happen in the near future. But in the long run, the population of the cryptocurrency community will surely grow exponentially. And Smartbch is getting ready for the next 100x growth of onchain users.

Which countries speak Portuguese? The Portuguese language, along with Spanish and English, is indeed widely spoken throughout the world. It is spoken by the population of four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and South America). This small state, which is located in the west of Europe, was able to spread its language norms in Brazil and China.
A similar spread of the Portuguese language around the world is associated with the discovery of new lands by the Portuguese in the Middle Ages. That is why the conquistadors were able to “plant” the language to other countries, making it official. In the world, about 250,000,000 people speak Portuguese, and about 200,000,000 people are native speakers. Portuguese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, ranking eighth.
Brazil is one of the most famous countries where the inhabitants of the country speak Portuguese. It was brought to the territory of the modern state in the early 16th century.
Under the influence of the characteristics of Brazil itself, the local Portuguese dialect received an interesting sound, but retained its classical characteristics.
Another country where the Portuguese language is very popular is called Angola. More than 18,000,000 people out of 30,000,000 inhabitants live in this state, which is perfectly explained in Portuguese. Portuguese has gained particular popularity among young people.
Portuguese is also widely spoken in Mozambique. True, only 10,000,000 people here can call Portuguese their native language. And this is despite the fact that Portuguese is recognized as an official language in the state.
The language became widespread in the central part of the country, but inland and in small villages they speak national dialects.
In Guinea-Bissau, in a small state in western Africa, it is also customary to speak Portuguese. For the first time, the inhabitants heard this language at the beginning of the 15th century, after the capture of the country by the Portuguese conquerors.
In addition to these countries, the Portuguese language is widely spoken in Cape Verde, the island of Sao Tome, Principe.
Some residents of Uruguay, France, Andorra and Luxembourg also speak Portuguese. By the way, the Portuguese-speaking territories around the world are called Lusofinia.

Corporate Tax Burden Rises
Special Report No. 4
Executive Summary As the federal deficit approaches a record level of over $300 billion and pressures build for increased spending on new and existing programs, the government will continue its drive for more revenues. Corporations are often targeted and charged with evading their “fair share” of the nation’s tax burden. Stale as the theme of under taxed corporations is, its repetition has given it a life of its own despite convincing evidence to the contrary. In fact, corporations carry a heavy tax burden and provide a large and growing percentage of the total tax revenues collected by all levels of government.
The object of this report is to present the current level of the corporate tax burden and examine why and how it has changed since 1980. A consistent time frame of 1980 to 1991 is used throughout the study.

Valve has had to eat up a degree of unhappiness from its user-base for the mere existence of Left 4 Dead 2, which arrives just a year after the original game. Beset by controversy when it was announced, the game was threatened with a boycott by fans who only months earlier had bought the original game and feared that online support for it would switch to this one. If they boycott this, though, they really are the ones missing out.
That said, you can understand the concern. While Left 4 Dead has a single player campaign you can play through, the games have been built from the ground up with multiplayer in mind. As such, especially given the acclaim that the original game had attracted, it was crucial that Valve would keep support for it going for some time to come. Valve, it seems, is willing to do that. Yet more than that, it’s given us in Left 4 Dead 2 a sequel that provides a compelling argument for leaving the original behind altogether, which we now suspect many will do.
For those who didn’t play the first game, Left 4 Dead 2 is a first person shooter that pits you against an awful lot of zombies. However, it soon becomes clear that this is a title that relies heavily on teamwork. If you go against the zombie horde single-handedly you’re going to be cut down to size, and quickly. Work in a team, however, and the game strikes gold.
And while this works surprisingly well in single player mode, thanks to some solid artificial intelligence work on your computer-controlled character, it really is enhanced tremendously when you take the game online. Thanks to some strong level design and some of the most manic action you’ll see on a PC screen this year (unless, er, you’re still playing the first Left 4 Dead), it’s often breathtaking fun.
Furthermore, Valve damn well knows it, and throws in lots of weapons and game modes to allow you to maximise the glee. The weaponry is terrific, from the abundance of firepower to the far more entertaining melee weapons (which are very much improved from last time round). A mixture is needed, especially given the variety of foes that you face and the equally varied powers they possess. But when there’s so much that you can pick up and use as a weapon (the chainsaw is our predictable favourite), then your cause – however it may appear on-screen – is never lost.
It isn’t easy, though, and often you’ll just stare at the hordes coming your way and think you’ve got no chance whatsoever. This makes for lots of frenetic, crazy and panicked action, and many times we were just sat there fighting away with a huge cheesy grin on our faces. It’s that kind of game. And because it’s Valve behind it, there’s a sheen of quality that provides the foundation for the ample fun on offer.
On the downside, there’s not, inevitably, been a massive jump forward in the game mechanic over the past year, even though there have been improvements. The formula is still effectively the same, although there are tweaks and new additions running right through the heart of it.
Is it enough to warrant a full-on sequel? Just. Is it one of the best PC games of the year? Most definitely. But we can still wait two years for Left 4 Dead 3 if it’s all the same.

DIY decoupage art is such an easy way to create custom art projects for your home. This Easy Vintage Butterfly Decoupage Art is shockingly simple to make, yet creates a gorgeous display for your home.
This post is sponsored by Dixie Belle Paint Company. Paint and supplies have been generously provided, but all ideas and opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.
Vintage Butterfly Tissue Decoupage Paper
I had been waiting patiently for Dixie Belle’s newest tissue decoupage paper to arrive in this gorgeous vintage butterfly print.
Since the back of my Blue Heron canvas was blank, I decided to turn it into a 2-for-1 art project!
This was prime real estate just waiting for more creativity, and I knew these vintage butterflies would make a stunning display.
How to Make Your Own Easy Vintage Butterfly Decoupage Art
If you’re upcycling an old canvas or painting, be sure to give it a good clean before beginning. I used my favorite Pristine Clean from Dixie Belle.
Obviously, if you are starting your piece of art with a new canvas, you won’t need this step.
2. Choose Your Art Print
The next step is to decide what art to feature on your DIY canvas art piece.
Tips for choosing your print:
- consider where you will hang your own wall art (living room, dining room, guest room, laundry room) and choose a color scheme that will work in that space
- make a seasonal piece of art, and choose a print with an appropriate color palette
- choose a print with your favorite colors, or the colors of your home decor
- for a modern look, use a print with a geometric pattern
- create an abstract painting by mixing and matching various decoupage mediums like tissue paper, wrapping paper, even paper napkins!
- you could even make this project using a favorite photo–just be sure to print it out on regular printer paper and not photo paper
3. Size Your Print Appropriately
You will want to fit your print to match the canvas you’re using for your project. You may have to cut it to the right size, and it’s fine if it doesn’t completely fill the canvas. The Mod Podge will help it blend in.
4. Mod Podge
Once you’ve decided upon your print or decoupage paper, you’re ready to attach it to your canvas.
The first step is to pour as much Mod Podge as you think you’ll need to cover about 1/4 of your canvas. Just pour it directly onto the canvas and smooth it out into an even layer using a paint brush. Be sure to get it all the way to edges of the canvas.
Next, lay your print on top of the Mod Podge and use your hand to smooth out any big wrinkles or bubbles. There will be some creases or wrinkles–it’s just the nature of decoupaging. Plus, it adds to the vintage vibe of the piece.
I applied a generous amount of Mod Podge, aligned the tissue paper with the canvas, and gently smoothed with my hands.
At this point, the Mod Podge may still be a bit opaque, but as it dries, it will begin to clear up.
It takes about an hour for your project to dry and then you’re all set to hang it. See, I told you it was easy!
Two different options that you can switch as easily as flipping it over!
If you want to make your own art similar to this, here are some canvas ideas:
- Amazon sells these very reasonably-priced hanging scroll canvases in different sizes
- You could purchase a blank canvas from a craft store, or these canvas boards from Amazon
- You could make your own DIY scroll similar to how I did in this DIY vintage art project
- You could even use an old painting or canvas and cover it up using this decoupage technique for a whole new look! Look around at thrift stores or maybe you even have one in your basement!
Vintage Butterfly Display
Once your project is finished, styling it to look lovely in your home is part of the fun!
I created this gorgeous vignette in my office that looks almost like someone was here studying butterflies.
Fun fact: Did you know that someone who specializes in the study of butterflies and moths is called a lepidopterist? Me neither.
After creating my vintage butterfly art, I had a few scraps of decoupage paper left.
Rather than waste them, I carefully cut around a couple of the butterflies and laid them on the book along with the magnifying glass.
It looks almost as if they had been pressed and preserved within the pages.
These antique books are family heirlooms, so I certainly didn’t want to harm them in any way. Displaying them like this allows me to enjoy them in a new way, rather than keeping them packed away in a box.
Creating art doesn’t have to be difficult or challenging. It’s something anyone can do. And yes, decoupage art is still art.

A familiar sight to many here locally, the Houston Ship Channel was shutdown this week when 11 individuals affiliated with Greenpeace suspended themselves from the Fred Hartman Bridge. The danglers blocked ship traffic to and from five major oil refineries and other chemical and oil export facilities for 18 hours. Harris County Sheriff’s office stated that the demonstrators will face multiple charges including obstructing the roadway and obstructing the waterway. The office is checking with the area US Attorney's office about other possible charges.
Earlier this week, Greenpeace attempted to block the MV Indian Goodwill from docking at a coal terminal at Gdansk, Poland. Polish customs agents boarded Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior that evening, broke into her wheelhouse and detained her master on suspicion of violating maritime safety regulations. The Indian Goodwill's delivery was held up again later in the week by activists who scaled two unloading cranes at the terminal, hanging banners and blocking operation of equipment.

Lottery games date back to the Chinese Han Dynasty (206-187 BC), when the first record of a raffle was found. These drawings are thought to have helped fund major government projects. The Chinese Book of Songs mentions the game of chance as “drawing wood” or “drawing lots.”
In Singapore, lottery players have a variety of options, from a PowerBall drawing to a season-ticket drawing. The lottery draws are made up of a pool, which consists of all of the sold and offered tickets in a drawing. These pools are created by combining the highest number combinations possible. However, while these strategies can help you win the lottery, they cannot guarantee that you will win. If you do win, you must have the right luck to cash in on your winnings.
The early twentieth century brought some relief from the negative public perception of gambling. After the failure of Prohibition, casinos began to operate in some states, and gambling for charity became more widespread. However, lingering fears about fraud kept public opinion of lotteries negative for two decades. It is not clear if lottery gambling has truly become widespread, but the odds of winning are still better than you think. This article will discuss the history of lottery games and how they have evolved over the years.
While winning the lottery is a life-changing event, you need to be careful not to overspend. You want to make sure that you don’t blow the money on frivolous things or impulsive behavior. It’s important to remember that winning the lottery is not the same as winning the lottery. While it’s fun to feel like a millionaire, you should never let others know about it, unless you have consulted a lawyer first. In addition, you should not quit your job immediately. Instead, spend some time to determine what you’re going to do with your winnings.
In ancient times, people drew lots to determine ownership. In the Old Testament, Moses was commanded to do this for Israel’s nation. Benjamin Franklin supported lotteries to raise funds for the American Revolution. John Hancock ran a lottery to rebuild Faneuil Hall in Boston. During the American Revolution, lotteries were common in England and the United States. In many states, the money raised from lottery play was used to build public works, towns, and wars.
While European lotteries share a common history, the Italian lotteries date back to the 1500s. French towns held public lotteries to raise funds for public works, such as fortifications and aid for the poor. These early lotteries were popular and were even praised as a convenient way to tax the wealthy. The oldest known European lottery dates back to 1426. The English word lottery derives from the Dutch noun, “fate.”
In FY 2006, states received $17.1 billion from the lottery. Each state allocated their lottery profits differently. Table 7.2 displays the cumulative allocation of lottery profits by state. In total, $234.1 billion has been donated to various beneficiaries since 1967. The highest-ranking state, New York, received $30 billion in education-related lottery profits. Other state winners included California and New Jersey, with $15 billion each. The statistics reveal that the lottery benefits the poor most.

A number of Arab observers have described the U.S.-led coalition’s overthrow of Saddam Hussein as an event that brought shame to the people of Iraq and to Arabs in general.
But where is the shame in allowing a brutal dictator, in Iraq or anywhere else, to fall? In fact, honor belongs to those who abandon a cruel tyrant or actively oppose him. And that’s just what many Iraqi military officers and enlisted men did: they refused to fight to keep Saddam Hussein’s corrupt and illegitimate regime in power. In doing this, they played a key role in lifting the yoke of oppression off their country and fellow Iraqis.
With Saddam Hussein gone, Iraqis are beginning to set up an interim administration that will lead to a democratically elected government. President George W. Bush expressed his confidence in Iraq’s future:
“The Iraqi people are fully capable of self-government. Every day Iraqis are moving toward democracy and embracing the responsibilities of active citizenship… The Iraqi people will choose their own leaders and their own government. America has no intention of imposing our form of government or our culture. Yet, we will ensure that all Iraqis have a voice in the new government and all citizens have their rights protected.”
The opportunity that exists in Iraq could have a positive effect elsewhere in the region. U.S. officials have spoken of Iraq as a model for democratic reform. But other countries have already begun the process of political change. On April 29th, Qatar held a referendum in which voters overwhelmingly approved a new constitution. It features a parliament made up of forty-five members, two-thirds of whom will be chosen in elections in which women can run and vote. Likewise, recent elections in Bahrain and Yemen are encouraging signs.
The winds of change are blowing in the Middle East. Arab nations like Iraq and Qatar may very well be on a path others will seek to emulate.

The municipawity consists of de fowwowing towns:
The main town in de municipawity is Houten, a commuter town about 9 km soudeast of Utrecht. On 1 January 2012, de town had 48,314 (CBS) inhabitants. The buiwt-up area was 5.08 km2 (1.96 sq mi) in area, and contained 18,451 residences. The swightwy warger statisticaw district of Houten had a popuwation of about 39,100 in 2004.
History of Houten
Remains of a Roman viwwa have been found in de owd centre of Houten, made visibwe in a street pattern, uh-hah-hah-hah. There used to be a Roman viwwa on dat spot. This buiwding was discovered in de fifties. In de Dark Ages Houten took shape as a ruraw centre. The area of de municipawity of Houten was divided in de so-cawwed 'gerechten' (districts). The names of dese districts are stiww in use: Schonauwen, Wuwven, Waijen, Heemstede.
A wot of ewements in present-day Houten are reminders of its history. Prominent in de owd centre 'Het Oude Dorp' are de Roman Cadowic Church (1884) and de Protestant Church (1563). The first accounts of dis church date from de ninf century, de owdest parts of de church are probabwy from de ewevenf century. Anoder prominent buiwding is de restaurant/cafe 'De Engew', awready mentioned in de 16f century as a tavern, uh-hah-hah-hah.
Former access roads to de owd centre are stiww recognisabwe by deir names, such as de 'Odijkseweg' and 'Loerikseweg'. Houten had many orchards, but few have survived.
The expanding city 1966–1998
Modern Houten started to take shape in de wast decades of de 20f century (1966–1998). It was first designated by de office of Wissing-Derks as a 'Groeikern' – a centre of growf – to meet de needs of de growing city of Utrecht. From de beginning urban pwanner-designer Robert Derks was invowved wif de devewopment of de New Town Houten, uh-hah-hah-hah. In 1979 de construction of 10,000 dwewwings started and de popuwation grew from 4,000 to more dan 30,000 wate in de nineties.
Second designation as a centre of urban growf 1992–2015
Untiw 2015, some 7,000 new houses are being buiwt in Houten-Zuid, fowwowing de same urban design principwes as de existing Nordern part of Houten, but wif some differences. The body of water to de east is warge in comparison wif water bodies in de owd parts of Houten, uh-hah-hah-hah. The pentagonaw green zone in Houten-Zuid embracing de centre is different from de greenzone in Houten-Noord, which runs drough de whowe city in a winear structure, crossing de new city centre and wif warger parks at eider end. Anoder difference is dat in some pwaces cars share de road wif bicycwe pads (dis concept was water appwied in de nordern part as weww). The soudern part was awso designed by Robert Derks and his office for urban design Stedebouw BV.
Houten has two raiwway stations, Houten (opened in 1868, cwosed in 1934, re-opened on a different wocation in 1982 and restructured in 2010) and Houten Castewwum (opened in 2010). These stations are served by wocaw commuter trains to Utrecht (nordbound) and Gewdermawsen (soudbound, wif subseqwent connections to Tiew and 's-Hertogenbosch/Breda). The raiwway has been doubwed from two tracks to four, to accommodate for an extra stop at Castewwum wif a freqwency of four trains per hour in each direction, uh-hah-hah-hah.
Like most Dutch cities, Houten is weww adapted to de high number of cycwists. A warge network of bike pads make it convenient to cycwe to various destinations and widin de town de bike is de most popuwar means of transport.
To de west, Houten has its own exit from de A27 motorway, and de N409 (singwe carriageway wif bus wane) runs from Houten to Nieuwegein. To de east and souf, dere are onwy wocaw roads, not designed for drough traffic. A connection to de A12 motorway to de norf is de N421 (singwe carriageway).
The onwy way to get from one district to anoder is via de ring road which circwes around Houten, dus preventing drough traffic in residentiaw areas. Maximum speed on most of de ring road is 70 km/h (43 mph)
Urban pwanning and architecture
Sustainabwe urban design
Houten is internationawwy known for its urban design, uh-hah-hah-hah. Because of de city structure, peopwe are encouraged to travew by bike and train, uh-hah-hah-hah. Distinctive qwawities of Houten incwude de accessibiwity of de raiwway station, green and water zones droughout de whowe city, numerous soccer and basketbaww fiewds, high standard of accommodation for different groups and de chiwd-friendwy bicycwe pads. It is one of de safest cities in de Nederwands. Cycwists and cars are abwe to avoid each oder: an extensive network of bicycwe tracks connects de different districts of de town, whiwe cars have to go to de city ring road before dey can go to anoder part of de city.
Thomas House is a smaww-scawe housing compwex in Houten for aduwts wif intewwectuaw disabiwities, opened in 2013.

Nashville Native group, 7Descent is back with a new single, “Southwest Chief.” 7Descent was formed in Nashville, TN in November of 2019. There were 2 members including guitarist Ed Taylor and Ishmael Herring (a.k.a. Milo) as lead vocalist, which got the idea to bring the band together. Fast forward to 2020 when 2 more members, Andrew Cremmins (drums) and Brian Coffey (bass) joined the band, completing 7Descent.
“Southwest Chief is actually an Amtrak Train that I would take from Santa Ana, California to New Mexico once a year. My mentor would purchase a private suite for me on the train. I remember all the beautiful American landscapes I journeyed through. The song weaves together my nostalgia from that experience and snippets of my real life as well. Ultimately, the song is about the moments that define us.” – 7Descent
Jerrett Franklin grew up in a small town. He moved to Nashville to pursue a music career. After writing for a few different artists in the area, he decided to branch out and give local music the spotlight. That is where the idea for Music On The Rox originated from. We are dedicated to shining a light on local music and giving a voice to those who aren’t being heard.

Floor registers make nice accessories for bathroom. Online you will see several floor registers, which include Victorian Scrolls, Contemporaries, etc. Victorian is the best, yet not everyone gets the same tastes or styles.
Choosing Victorian floor registers?
Whenever choosing Victorian floor registers retain in mind that you have the options of choosing Dark Bronze, Pewter, and the Polished/Lacquered Brass. Elgan Brass is one of the bigger quality floor registers. The brass texture was built from superb hangs that understood their build. Brass registers provides in style whether you have a country placing, or master bath. The registers add a unique touch to the area. Victorian styles provide you with the options of choosing Classic Brass and more. The registers are excellent, since it ventilates the room, and reduces fungus build-up.
Choosing contemporary floor registers?
Modern floor registers include the Antique, Polished/Lacquered Brass, Dark Bronze, and Pewters. I favor the Polished/Lacquered Brass, since it glows. The registers are made to set of country atmospheres. For the master bath, you may want to choose the Polished Brass. The registers are coated with powders and dampers, which means that the register can last a long time to come.
How much do modern registers cost?
It depends upon where you purchase the product. You can purchase the Classic Brass for around $23 online. I’d shop around, because you can compare prices and texture. As well, you will see other registers, which may be of higher quality, yet at a price you are able.
How does my floor factor in to the registers design?
Good question, you should always consider your floors, walls, and overall style of your bathrooms before purchasing floor registers. When you have a country placing however, most of the floor registers should go with your room. However, if you have a luxury bath, or expert bath, the silver brass is the best option. Dark Bronze will work as well, providing you have an atmosphere that matches the color.
What if I love a floor register that will not match my floors, walls, etc?
You intend to view images of floor registers, because so many will match nearly all designs, patterns and colors. If you feel that the register you like does not match, you may want to adjust your style. Ultimately, you can change the flooring and wall structure color to match your choice of floor registers.
How do you choose two registers?
If your bathroom allows room for 2 registers then make an effort to choose the same style. You don’t want to install a Bronze and Brass in the same environment.
What if I’ve wood floors, how do you choose color?
When you have real wood flooring, then you have a country environment. Still, you can go for registers that goes with the texture of your room. Antiques are great, yet with solid wood flooring I find that the Dark Bronze is the decision of registers. The bronze appears to give the room a traditional effect.
How do you choose floor registers for bathing rooms with rugged areas?
Make an effort to match the registers to suit your rugs. When you have rugs in your bathroom, try to keep the registers however from the fabric, particularly if heat comes from the register. High temperature can build, which can capture fire.
Floor registers make great bathroom accessories, because the registers will match almost any style.
Why must i buy floor registers?
If you do not have floor registers in your bathrooms, mold and mildew will build-up, which is bad for your wellbeing. In bathrooms where no registers can be found, orange, grey, and black mold often develops.


Intensivists in the neurosurgery department at UCLA are using RP-6 to provide additional monitoring from their homes and offices of ICU patients in response to studies showing that intensivist presence in the ICU can decrease morbidity, mortality, length of stay and cost of care.
UCLA will test the RP-6 robot as a way to extend the reach of the intensivist. The patient sees, hears and interacts with the doctor through the nearly 5-foot-6-inch tall robot, which displays a live video image of the physician's face on its monitor/head.
The physician, seated at a computer console, also sees and hears the patient through a live video image projected on a monitor. The console comes equipped with a joystick, which allows the physician to drive the robot to the patient's bedside, control movements of the robot's head and even zoom in to take a closer look at the patient or bedside monitors.
"The RP-6 robot will increase doctor access for patients, their families and hospital staff, and UCLA is excited to test the newest addition to our intensive care team," professor and Chief of Neurosurgery Dr. Neil Martin Martin said.
"We recognize that leveraging the health care expert's time offers the possibility of improved patient care, reduced length of stay and cost savings. UCLA has combined our in-house electronic medical information system, GCQ, with the RP-6 remote presence system, and we are able to monitor and access our patients anytime from our homes and offices in a way not previously possible," Martin added.
According to the researchers, patient and family reaction to the robot had been very positive.

Gaming Study: Which State Has The Angriest Gamers?
While gaming can be an enjoyable and relaxing pastime, it can also be frustrating. As gaming has become more competitive and demanding, players are more likely to experience frustration and anger when things don’t go their way.
In this study, we explore which US states have the angriest gamers. On the flip side, we also look at which states have the most chilled. The data has been collected through a survey of over 5,000 US gamers across all consoles and locations. We also look at some national findings on gaming anger.
- Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana have the angriest gamers.
- Idaho, Delaware, North Carolina, Nevada, and Illinois have the most chilled gamers.
- Xbox players report higher levels of anger than any other console/device.
- 16% of gamers have broken something out of frustration.
- 40% of gamers have sent an abusive message to an opponent.
Oklahoma Tops The Charts of Angriest Gamers
When asked to score their anger levels when gaming, residents of Oklahoma reported the highest numbers across the US. This was followed by Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana. In fact, the large majority of the angriest gamers reside in the South, with the South East taking the crown.
The state with the lowest gaming anger levels was Idaho, followed by Delaware, North Carolina, Nevada, and Illinois. Gamers in these locations reported hardly ever experiencing anger when playing. The West and The North West regions are significantly more relaxed when it comes to controlling their gaming frustration.
The National Numbers
Cross-platform rivalry is alive and well within the gaming community. But which type of gamers are the angriest? Our study finds that Xbox players experience the most gaming frustration, but only just, marginally beating PlayStation gamers. Those that game on mobile tend to do so for fun and don’t report anywhere near as much rage quitting.
The good news is that only 16% of Americans admit to breaking something out of gaming frustration. However, 40% claim to have sent an abusive message to an opponent after losing, with FIFA and Call of Duty players ranking the worst for such behavior.
In April 2023, we surveyed 5,000 MLB gamers. We asked them where they lived, and on a scale of 1-10, how angry they get when they play. We then used this data to identify the angriest (and least angry) states. We also asked other questions, including which console they play and whether or not they’ve ever broken something out of anger while gaming or sent abusive messages.

John Ingham's story claimed:
Brussels was...proposing to take control of Britain’s seabed.
The European Commission in the UK issued a statement in response which said:
In reality, the EU is no more seizing power over the UK’s seabed than measures to protect birds, would mean seizure of UK airspace...
It is not about the transfer of powers to the EU, or seizure of sovereignty over the UK’s seabed, or the rights to minerals, such as oil or gas. Nor is it about controlling the fish above the seabed.
The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs also responded - mentioning the story in their 'Myth Busters' section:
The Myth: The Daily Express has reported that one of the amendments being debated by the European Parliament on the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy would allow the EU to seize control of Britain’s seabed. The piece claimed that critics have said that if passed the amendment could lead to the EU claiming rights to minerals such as oil and gas.
The Truth: This is not true. Even if agreed by the European Parliament, this amendment would not change the sovereignty of our sea bed or give the EU new powers. The proposed amendment would have no practical effect, nor would it have any bearing on mineral extraction. The reform of the Common Fisheries Policy is intended to stop overfishing, boost fish stocks and improve the health of our seas. The UK does not support this amendment as it will not help to tackle the fundamental failings of the Common Fisheries Policy.

What is the magic that brings a sentence to life, or makes a passage ache in our bones? In this class we will examine and reverse engineer the elements that resonate with us in published works of fiction. Equally important will be the actual workshopping: Students are encouraged to arrive at the beginning of the course with projects in mind, and may submit fiction of any genre in the form of short stories or novel chapters.
- the kite runner thesis statements.
- Writers in New York Photo Gallery;
- american greatness essay.
- Summer On-Campus Writing Workshops!
- saying the title of a book in an essay.
- scope and limitations thesis.
- Writers in Paris.
The purpose of these workshops is not only to produce new work and practice implementing things from our craft conversations, but also to sharpen our editorial instincts. In constructively critiquing the work of others we become stronger writers ourselves. This class is focused on narrative prose, but experimentation within that form is welcome. Finally, we will talk about building a disciplined writing practice, as well as the business end: working towards publication, and the process of finding a literary agent.
How does one write about the self by looking at the world and away from the self? Is the imagination the most personal yet unknowable thing we have? In what ways do identity and personal history fit within our human narrative? By looking at poets writing today and those of the New York School, San Francisco Renaissance, the Confessionals, and the Language School, we will discuss how repetition, pacing, and drastic leaps may be used as incantatory and revelatory writing devices which create meaning by offering mystery. We will experiment and create as much out of chance as out of order.
All courses are taught in English. All students must register for 8 points of undergraduate credit.

Agricultural Commodities In Tuolumne County Down
Sonora, CA– Agricultural commodities produced in Tuolumne County were down last year. That’s according to the latest annual crop and livestock report released by Agricultural Commissioner Vicki Helmar. The 2009 value is estimated at $20,215,400, a 24.6 % decrease from the 2008 value of 26,831,100.
Not only was Tuolumne County’s agricultural industry severely impacted by the continued economic decline and depressed housing markets, but ranchers and farmers also had to contend with continued drought conditions and the freeze of late April 2009. These factors affected nearly every segment of agricultural production. Major impacts included, the continued drought that reduced production for the third consecutive year, the depressed housing market that decreased demand for landscaping plants, and the timber industry that was hit especially hard in 2009.
Ag Commissioner Vicki Helmar said, "So far this year we have not had the hard freeze that we had the past two Aprils, our rangeland production has been very good this past spring, I’m hearing that cattle prices are up, so I’m a little bit more optimistic that we will have a better year for 2010. However, the economy still has an impact on our agricultural products."

A new renewable energy solution available from Go Geothermal provides space heating and electricity generation from one system. By combining powerful PV solar panels with energy storage and warm air heating, the Solar Aerovoltaic system is claimed to save home- owners up to 50% on their heating bill, on top of the energy saving and tariff earning benefits normally associated with solar panels.
The Air-Volt Plus panels convert the sun’s rays into electricity in the same way conventional photovoltaic panels do. In addition, air is captured and heated between the panel and a well-insulated backing sheet before being aspirated, filtered and circulated around the home.
Key to the system is the new Store-H solar battery (pictured above). Using PCM (Phase Change Materials), heat stored as hot air is blown into the home, effectively charging the battery and providing heating simultaneously. Thanks to the heating management system, this reserve of hot air can then be used even if the solar panels are no longer receiving energy from the sun (up to five hours after sunset).
For added user comfort and efficiency, the Air-Volt Plus system can be controlled remotely. Smart-Air is a smartphone, table and web application tool for managing and monitoring the performance of the system. Live data can be captured and displayed for a detailed analysis of the production of heat and electricity as well as the energy consumption of the home.

SELECTED AS A BEST BOOK OF 2018 BY THE BOSTON GLOBE, KIRKUS REVIEWS, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, AND BOOKPAGE
“Empathetic, poetic, and a joy to look at, cute kitty and all.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“This quiet, understated book contains a wealth of emotions.” –The Horn Book (starred review)
“[Illustrator] Yoo sets a lovely mood, taking readers from sunset to dawn through washes of orange, pink, and blue, the watchman’s compassionate demeanor assuring them that all’s well.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Yoo’s textured, serene artwork in beautiful saturated tones perfectly complements Sullivan’s lines and conveys a beauty in the night and the construction site that readers might otherwise miss.” —Booklist (starred review)
“This soft, gentle story is a perfect bedtime story for lovers of trucks and construction equipment, cats, and nighttime wanders.” —BCCB (starred review)
A stray kitten changes the way the watchman sees nighttime in this tender book based on a true story, illustrated by Strictly No Elephants artist Taeeun Yoo.
The night watchman hugs his wife and kids and drives to work.
All night he is alone.
Every hour he makes his rounds.
He sees the stars twinkling. He hears the sounds of the night:
ki-DEE ki-DEE ki-DEE
Woof! Woof! Woof!
When he is joined by a stray kitten, the night suddenly seems different. Has the kitten found a new home?
Kitten and the Night Watchman is inspired by the true story of author John Sullivan meeting a stray cat while working as a night watchman. The cat, Beebe, was John’s companion for seventeen years.
A night watchman hugs his family and goes to work, where he methodically makes his rounds through an empty construction site. His flashlight's warm yellow beam illuminates the darkness: "He checks the doors. He checks the workshop." Debut author Sullivan, who based the story on his own experience, illuminates the inner life of his character as well, using concise, poetic language. The watchman "thinks of his boy and girl, safe and asleep at home." He's alert to the beauty of the darkness, too: the big trucks' fanciful-looking shadows ("A backhoe rises like a giant insect"), the full moon that "shines like an old friend," the way the air fills with a sound of a train and then becomes still again. Most of all, he is kind: a stray gray kitten joins him on his rounds (" Back again?' he asks"), and after worrying when it disappears, the watchman takes the kitten home to join his family. Yoo (Strictly No Elephants) sets a lovely mood, taking readers from sunset to dawn through washes of orange, pink, and blue, the watchman's compassionate demeanor assuring them that all's well. Ages 4 8. (Sept.)

Epic Games Vs. Apple In-Person Trial Scheduled For May 3
According to MacRumors, the trial date was set by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, the US District Judge overseeing the case, during a management conference earlier this week. Judge Rogers ruled that the parties involved, including the witnesses, had the necessary resources to fly to Northern California for an in-person trial while observing COVID-19 quarantine and health protocols. She also said that witnesses are less likely to lie when they’re in a physical courtroom.
The court will also implement necessary precautions to keep the attendees safe, including social distancing and limiting the number of people inside the courtroom.
The legal dispute between Epic Games and Apple started in August 2020 when Epic added a direct payment option in Fortnite in an attempt to circumvent Apple’s 30% fee on in-app purchases. Apple responded by pulling Fortnite from the App Store for alleged breach of contract to which Epic retaliated with an anti-trust lawsuit.
The outcome of the trial will have a significant effect on the gaming industry and could open the floodgates to future lawsuits against tech company monopolies, which Judge Rogers describes as “walled gardens.”
