This is going to be awesome!
This is going to be awesome!
This morning the market sold off after Yellen gave her little talk. I'm watching the Russell 2000 ($RUT) to get an indication of market direction and I think that we are done with this correction and are going to take a stab at the highs again. My reason is that we hit some 30 minute demand that lines up right with the 50% retracement of the total move up. It is a logical, clean retracement right at the 1,150 level.
If this level does not hold then all bets are off and I'll be watching the 1,030 level for the next good looking demand.
So we've sold off for two days and I think the selling is done for now. The Russell 2000 ($IWM) is down 3.83% over the two days, which is a fairly large move. All of the indexes hit daily demand yesterday so I took the opportunity to get long in a number of names, namely
While we are in an uptrend, I am buying dips and I consider this a dip.
We have had a big run, so I am a little cautious and keeping a close watch on my positions, but a trend is a trend until the end.
Certainly something to think about, and something that I have been debating with myself for quite some time.
The markets sold off a little today, led by the Russell 2000 ($IWM, $TF_F, $RUT) that took a 1.7% pounding. If you think back to the March through May sell-off it was the Russell that lead then too, so we might be in for a deeper correction. I saw no need to get short today into turnaround Tuesday, but I'll certainly be keeping a watchful eye on the Russell for a while.
A market can correct either by selling off, or by consolidating for a while. We may be seeing the latter, with the Russell potentially trading in a range between $108 and $120. Until we break and hold either side, I'm going to consider this a trading range, or time based correction. Certainly something to keep a watchful eye on, as the Russell seems to be the canary in the coal mine right now.
This is hilarious. What's even funnier is that some people are outraged about it.

This clip from "Family Feud" was destined for viral fame the moment the survey "something you put in your mouth but don't swallow" was taken. After Team Forsythe wins the face-off with "gum" — not the rhyming word I expected — host Steve Harvey approaches Magen, a pastor's wife who's certain that one of the answers is "sperm." She justifiably gets the big red X, because most Americans know that semen is supposed to be swallowed. A better answer would have been "penis."

Vranica Mountain, with its highest peak of Nadkrstac (2,112 m) and the amazing Prokoško Glacial Lake (1,636 m), is the ideal hiking destination for any true nature lover who seeks amazing scenery, untouched nature and an understanding of Bosnian rural/nomad village life.
While visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is an excellent idea to explore its wilderness and natural beauty. This tour is for eco-minded individuals who adore nature, fresh air, and greenery. Before the tour begins, all passengers must be at the departure point, where their guide will inform them of all details relating to the tour. The tour will begin early so that we can reach the town of Fojnica as early as possible.
When we get to Fojnica, the town historically known for its healthy, thermal waters and gold mining, we will focus our attention on the Franciscan Monastery dating some 650 years ago. We will learn the interesting story of the Ahdnama- regarded as the "oldest written document on human rights" some 550 years ago after the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia in 1463.
We will then start our 16-km long trek across macadam roods and through the forest to Prokoško Lake. As we cross several small creeks along the way, we will learn why this area is nicknamed "Bosnian Swiss." Nested at 1,636 m, the Prokoško Glacial Lake has several old, shingle-covered, wooden, shepherd huts. With Katuni in its vicinity and the amphitheater of Vranica Mountain behind it, this is something no nature lover wants to miss. Before the hike begins, participants are free to explore the region, and may even be lucky enough to see its endemic species such as Vraničko Zvonce (Edraianthus niveus), Bosanska Zvonička (Symphyandra hofmannii) or the famous amphibian Triton, which only lives in Prokoško Lake (Triturus alpestris reiseri).
Our goal for the day is to complete a 6-hour hike to Vranica Mountain's peak of Nadkrsac (2,112 m). Our starting point will be Prokoško Lake (1,636 m), giving us roughly 500 m of altitude gain. Vranica is full of small, clean, and cold creeks running down its cascades, creating an image of "water heaven." Depending on the time of year conducting this tour, please note that Vranica Mountain is famous for its various types of mushrooms, cranberries and blueberries- some of which can easily be found on our "foodie menu."
Once atop, the stunning views of the mountain plateaus and peaks will leave you breathless. At this point, all of you hard work will pay off: you'll finally get to taste the local food and hot tea in the amazing scenery. After the break, we will head back. The descent will be slightly easier as we take a different route than we did for the ascent.
As soon as we get back to Prokoško Lake, we will organize a local lunch you do not want to miss when in this area. We'll also learn how certain types of Prokoško cheeses are made, the general shepherd life in Vranica Mountain, and what it's like to be there during the winter season. Cultural insight is quite important in order to understand how life was and is today. We can also pay a visit to its unique mosque—possibly one of Europe's most elevated—located 1,666 m above sea level. Afterwards, we will take a 90-minute trip back to Sarajevo, where we expect to return around 18-19 hrs.

What are the STI test options in Bozeman,MT?
Montana health officials are concerned about the rise in STD rates over the past decade, especially gonorrhea and syphilis, the former of which was at a historic low in 2009 and the latter of which was thought to be nearly eradicated.
Gonorrhea, in particular, poses a public health threat because it is becoming resistant to the only medicine we have left to treat it. So now the emphasis must be on prevention over treatment. Syphilis is treatable, but it can lead to serious, irreversible problems if not caught early. All sexually active people must get tested regularly.
In 2016, the rate of gonorrhea in Gallatin County was 31.8 per 100K people, well under Montana's rate of 83.9. The chlamydia and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 518.2 and 4.
In 2015, Gallatin County's HIV prevalence rate was 54 per 100K people.
While PrEP and PEP are available to reduce the risk of spreading HIV, those taking those medications should not let down their guard and stop using protection. Other STIs such as syphilis can still be passed on.
There are only a few STD-testing clinics in Bozeman, but you should be able to find help, including free STD testing for teens and a charitable clinic that provides free testing for HIV only. Bridgercare on 14th Ave offers STI testing and treatment on a sliding fee scale (bring proof of your income).

Additional STD Test Statistics in Bozeman, MT

- In Gallatine County the gonorrhea cases nearly doubled .
- Gallatin County had 364 cases of chlamydia reported as of 2014 .
- Half of all the new cases are young adults ages 15-24.
Facts and charts like these are increasing the awareness in your community of the importance of regular STD testing and how it can help limit the spread of these infections.
STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Bozeman, MT
It is required by state law that sexuality education be delivered in public schools, this includes both STDs and HIV/AIDS education. The state has left it to local school boards to determine the specific grade levels to introduce the topics and which areas this education must cover. It must be age appropriate, medically correct, and abstinence must be part of the program as the only completely effective protection against STDs, unplanned pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS.
The schools are not required to teaching about contraceptives (i.e. condoms, the Pill, or the Patch). Parental permission is not required to participate in sexuality education or STD education classes. Montana receives no federal funds for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.
To respect individuality and identity issues among the student population, public schools have recently enacted a no bullying provision. Some schools are including protection for students based on sexual orientation and gender. The state has passed anti-discrimination laws, but they are not clear in their reference to sexual orientation or gender identity. State hate crimes laws also do not include gender identity or sexual orientation.
All minors are allowed to get a prescription for birth control without a parent's permission. However, a doctor may (but is not required to) inform your parents/guardian. People of any age can buy emergency contraception such as Plan B One-Step without a prescription at a local pharmacy over the counter. Other products such as Next Choice, My Way and Levonorgestrel can be sold without a prescription to those who are 17 and older. If you are 16 or younger, you will need a prescription.
Educating the community, especially about the HIV virus and how it is spread, can make residents less fearful and more willing to participate in STD testing. Along with regular HIV testing, Herpes testing is very important since viral infections such as Herpes can be transmitted through asymptomatic casual contact with someone that has no visible symptoms.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Bozeman, MT
According to the US Census data the city has a population of 43,405 making it the 4th largest city in the state. It has a median household income of $47,361 (it was $32,156 in 2000) and a median age of 27.9 years (the median Montana as a whole is 39.9 years).
It is a college town, home to Montana State University a land grant university with more then 17,000 students and faculty, resulting in a young median age. State statistics show that at least half the cases reported in 2014 occurred in young people aged 15 to 25. At the same time, the CDC reports that half of the 20 million STD cases in the United States each year are young people under the age of 25.
State health officials point out that while many STDs are easy to cure, if the cases are left undiagnosed and untreated complications can occur. Common complications can include infertility and conditions such as herpes or gonorrhea can increase a person's chances of getting HIV.
Public health officials are offering advice to anyone who may be at-risk for an STD. DPHHS recommends these simple steps to lower the risk of STDs,including being in a long-term monogamous relationship and making sure your partner is tested and does not have STDs, limiting the number of people you have sex with if you have more than one partner and using latex condoms every time you have sex.
Additional tips include, getting the vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV) which can protect you against diseases (including cancers) caused by the human papillomavirus, talking with your health care provider about your sexual history so that he or she can provide you with the appropriate STD testing and prevention guidance.
Better Sexual Health in Bozeman, MT
The city has a young hip crowd that enjoys the natural gifts that the state offers, along with the cultural benefits that a university like MSU provides. Living in a young college town you need to recognize the rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases. You should not let the fear of what you might find out linger in your mind, or the thoughts of spending hours waiting for the opportunity to be seen at a free STD clinic keep you from STD testing. There is now a resource for you to make an appointment for same day STD testing, avoid the potential embarrassment and save precious time. Invest 20 minutes for your health and the health of the ones you love, then its off to spend the rest of the day grabbing your snowboard and hitting the mountain slopes.

Arthritis Care
Charity information
Arthritis Care
Arthritis Care is the UK's largest organisation working with and for all people who have arthritis. Our vision is to see a society in which the needs of people living with arthritis are understood, respected and fully met.
Arthritis isn't just one disease; it is a term that describes a complex disorder that comprises more than 200 distinct conditions and can affect people at any stage of life. Two of the most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. These two forms have very different causes, risk factors, and effects on the body, yet they often share a common symptom—persistent joint pain. There are nine million people with arthritis in the UK. That's nine million individuals, plus their families, friends and carers, each affected in a unique way.
People with arthritis are involved in all our activities, at every level and direct what we do. Our mission is to offer people with arthritis in the UK the information and support they need to make informed choices about managing their arthritis and lead full lives.
Some of the ways in which we help people with arthritis include;
• A free, confidential helpline, manned by trained counsellors with up-to-the minute information on all issues surrounding arthritis, helping over 10,000 callers each year
• Distributing over half a million award winning booklets annually on living with and managing arthritis
•Lobbying at a national level to ensure that truly informed decisions are made with regard to allocation of treatment and availablity of drugs
•Campaigning locally through our supporters and branch structure to ensure that important local services and facilities are retained and funded
•Delivering a range of practical courses through trained volunteers to give an individual back the personal self-confidence and the practical techniques of pain control and symptom management, that will ensure a better quality of life.
In the next five years we're aiming to make sure that every person with arthritis in the UK knows we are here to help them.
Specific project details will be coming out soon but in the meantime, if you can help us with your expertise or funding, please call Calli Pellegrini on 020 7380 6554

|Milleen Meva - Rathcroghan - Artificial Mound
|Misgaun Meva - Rathcroghan - Standing Stone
This is the main rath at Rath Cruachan. It is on the south side of the N5 as you drive NW from Tulsk and has a good sized car park.
The remaining mound is quite huge, some 60m in diameter and 4m high. The top shows faint signs of foundations, which appear as bumps and lumps in the grass.
The site is steeped in history, being the location of the final battle when Queen Maeve came looking for the Brown Cow that was stolen from her.
Ringforts are small (usually) circular enclosures formed by digging one or more fosses and piling the extracted earth to form a bank inside the ditch(es). Each structure would have been the homestead of just one family.
The size and number of banks area good indication of the status of the former inhabitants when compared with other local sites.
Most of them date from the late Bronze Age or the early Christian period.
This was the first stop on the 2010 Megalithomania Meet-Up. The weather was not being kind to us, with a misty rain making it difficult to see anything or to hang around for too long. We actually saw more of this massive mound throughout the rest of the day from the other sites we visited.
Even in the rain the size of this mound is impressive. When you stand on the top and can't see the edges (the misty rain was that bad briefly) you are given a sense of massive scale. However, it is the presence of this site in the landscape of all the other monuments that makes it so impressive and important.

This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

It is not controlled or issued by any bank or government. The system is peer-to-peer, and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary.These transactions are verified by network nodes known as miners and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.

An Easy Guide To Crypto Currency for Beginners
If you have kept up to date with the current currency and financial trends, the terms cryptocurrency mining, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple are probably not foreign even if you are not 100% sure what they mean. Bitcoin mining is just the tip of a much larger, often comfortably profitable, industry. For some people, the whole idea surrounding cryptocurrency is one that sounds a little too good to be true, but the very real returns that people are enjoying tell a different story.
The whole industry lies on one thing: Cryptocurrency mining hardware. Without the right mining rigs, you cannot be a part of the network generating the various currencies.
Some Bitcoin Background
As a cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is regarded as the original online currency which basically helped to launch and cement what is now a worldwide online stock market. This digital asset is possibly one of the most secure online currencies, with cryptography giving it incredible protection.
Bitcoin first became available to the public in 2009.
In the years following the introduction of Bitcoin, more cryptocurrencies were launched, some with different uses than others. Although the original creators of Bitcoin remain anonymous, using the name Satoshi Nakamoto, the goal behind this technology was to eventually create an electronic cash system that would be completely decentralized. Once the currency gained popularity in 2011, the anonymous creators shared the source code of the currency as well as the domains. They then disappeared.
Without a central point controlling transactions, the system works in a manner similar to peer to peer file sharing. It cuts out the middleman and reduces transaction-related costs. In your more traditional monetary transactions, a centralised system would prevent double spending and keep records of the balances. In a decentralised system, the server which manages the traditional transactions is removed and replaced by every peer on the network, each of whom needs to have a list of transactions in order to check validity.
Although today Bitcoin prices are phenomenally high, the first person to sell their Bitcoin threw down 10 000 Bitcoin for two pizzas.
From 2015 until now, Bitcoin has been somewhat unstoppable in terms of its growth in value. In 2016, Ethereum almost overtook Bitcoin, as attention shifted from away what was considered to be the most sought-after currency. But Bitcoin bounced back and remains the most valuable cryptocurrency in the world.
Once you have a better understanding of this currency, you will probably have more knowledge than most other people, banks and even some governments. At this moment, those benefitting the most from their crypto understanding, are those in business. Companies have really been caught up in this new style of exchange. Not only do they accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a legitimate form of payment, but they themselves are investing in cryptocurrency mining by buying quality cryptocurrency mining rigs.
What Exactly Are Cryptocurrencies?
One of the biggest hurdles for this industry is explaining what the currency is, something that is difficult on a good day because virtual currency cannot be held.
According to the dictionary, cryptocurrency is "a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank." To simplify it further, think of the currency as a bunch of entries on a database, which cannot be changed or used until a certain number of requirements are met. When you think of it that way, you might come to the conclusion that this currency is just like any other currency. The only difference is that it is not centralised and it is virtual.
Cryptocurrency can be traded in and used as a physical currency, much like you would withdraw money from your bank account. When it all comes down to it, all currencies need to be verified, and cryptocurrency simply uses a different method.
So it's not a scheme, a Ponzi, or a pyramid waiting to tumble. Virtual currency is the real deal. And you can be a part of it as well.
How can you get cryptocurrency? Where do you start?
You need the most powerful machine possible, to make harvesting worthwhile. To become a part of a mining pool, purchase a cryptocurrency mining rig from any of the reputable companies, such as Netsev and carefully compare the list of bitcoin miners. It is a good idea to draw a comparison between available rigs before you choose one. Anyone can gain cryptocurrency, as long as they have the right equipment. This equipment is known as cryptocurrency mining hardware and they can be purchased from companies like ours. With the rise of the online currencies, mining has become more competitive and there have been cases where people have been sold faulty machinery.
It's easy to be duped when you don't know what to look out for, especially when you are just starting out. We always tell our clients that it is best to buy first-hand cryptocurrency mining hardware rather than second-hand machines. We're not saying all second-hand machines are damaged. But if you are new to the industry and you don't want to be scammed right off the bat, it's best to start your journey with reliable cryptocurrency mining rigs.
As a miner (this is the term used to describe those who use Bitcoin, Ethereum and other mining hardware) you will join a network of other miners. Each miner receives a complete record of the transactions and the balance of their account. In many ways, you have access to near total transparency regarding where and how the money is moving.
The transaction takes the form of a file, and the process of sending and receiving is nothing special or overly complicated. To break it down into steps, this is how a basic transaction works:
- A person requests a transaction. The transaction can include cryptocurrency, records, contracts or other kinds of information.
- This request is then sent out to the peer to peer network which consists of computers (known in the industry as nodes).
- The network validates the transaction and the status of the person requesting the transaction. This validation is done using algorithms.
- After the verification goes through, it is combined with other transactions within the network in order to create a ledger. This can only be done when there is a block of data.
- This new block of data will be added permanently to the blockchain (which we'll get to). The data cannot be altered.
- The transaction is then complete.
Luckily, this is a process that is going on behind the scenes. When using Bitcoin mining rigs, Ethereum mining rigs, or any other kind of cryptocurrency mining hardware, the machines will take care of the finer transaction details.
The transactions that you make will become known to the network, but as the transaction is permanent and cannot be changed in any way, you won't have to worry about losing money during the process. The transaction needs to be confirmed in order to ensure the safety of the process. To send and receive currency, all users need to have a wallet.
The Blockchain
The blockchain is the crux of transactions. It is an invention well ahead of its time. It is the digital ledger of all of the crypto transactions and it is programmed in a way that it cannot be corrupted. It records all valuable information which is what gives miners a fully detailed description of what is happening with current transactions.
Just like the internet, the blockchain is designed to store data and information which can be revisited later on. But unlike the internet, it is far more durable in that it cannot be controlled by a single entity and it has no weak points. Since the inception of Bitcoin, the blockchain has not once been significantly disrupted. And none of the disruptions has ever been the result of human error.
The Currency Wallet
The wallet is a software programme designed to store both public and private keys while it also interacts with the blockchain. It is this interaction which allows the users to send and receive currency during the transactions. The wallet is also the place where information and the balance regarding the information are stored.
Anyone who wants to mine and use cryptocurrency needs a wallet.
A wallet of this kind does not store the currency. In general, currencies are not stored anywhere. The only evidence of the currency exists on the blockchain. The keys which are stored in the wallet are used to check balances or to send money. Once the currency is sent, the ownership of the currency is sent to the wallet, thereby moving the money.
Now, the only way that you can gain access to money sent to your wallet is if your private key matches the public key. Think of it as a lock and key system; one opens the other when they match. Matching keys will result in the decrease in the balance of the sender's wallet and an increase in the balance of the receiver.
No physical money changes hands, which makes transactions safer.
The Different Types of Wallets
Just as there are different currencies, there are also different wallets which store data and communicate with blockchains. Compare the various wallets to decide which one is most suitable for you. You cannot get a wallet through the use of Bitcoin mining rigs, or any cryptocurrency rigs for that matter. The wallet needs to be downloaded.
The Desktop Wallet: Downloaded and installed on the desktop of a laptop or PC, only a single computer can have access to this type of wallet. This is the wallet to have when you want optimal security, but they can be vulnerable to hacking.
The Online Wallet: This wallet is run on the Cloud and can be accessed from any device. They are certainly more convenient, especially if you are on the move, but they are controlled by a third party and can be vulnerable to hacking.
The Mobile Wallet: This wallet is an app, and can be used regardless of where you are. The downside to this wallet is that the app has limited space to store information.
The Hardware Wallet: All of the wallets above are software wallets. A hardware wallet is one that is stored on an external device, such as a USB stick. These wallets allow you to make transactions online, but the information is stored offline. This immediately increases its security.
The Paper Wallet: If might sound a bit unreal, but some people choose to print out the public and private keys and store them in a safe location. You will still need a software wallet, however, as this is the only way to gain access to the keys. The transfer of information can be done using a QR code, which can really save time and effort.
The Best Cryptocurrencies to Invest In
We have compiled a list with some of the largest and fastest growing cryptocurrencies. To keep up to date with the market trends as well as the flow of the various cryptocurrencies, The CoinMarketCap will provide you with up to date information about all of the biggest virtual currencies. What you choose to mine depends on you, and all of our cryptocurrency mining rigs are equipped to mine the various currencies. We're going to cover the top 5 commonly mined currencies.
- Bitcoin
Bitcoin mining hardware is the term many people use when looking to buy a cryptocurrency mining rig, simply because Bitcoin is synonymous with cryptocurrency. It's the original currency and it takes up the most of the market cap. Bitcoin is open source, which means that no-one owns it and everyone can be a part of the mining. This currency is ideal for individuals, businesses and developers. Some information you need to know about Bitcoin is that it is not an anonymous currency, you will need a virtual wallet, the prices can be volatile and payments cannot be reversed. A usb bitcoin miner can be bought from companies like Netsev and we have an online shop for your convenience.
- Ethereum
At one point, Ethereum was expected to become as big, if not bigger, than Bitcoin. Ethereum mining rigs allow miners to gain the currency and successfully carry out transactions. Unlike Bitcoin which pushes through all kinds of transactions, Ethereum is smart contract focused. Third parties cannot interfere with transactions, downtime is not possible and censorship is impossible. It works with a custom-built blockchain and enables developers to create their own markets, to move funds, and to store debt registers. You will need an Ethereum wallet for this currency.
- Ripple
The third biggest currency in the crypto world, Ripple is literally making waves in the banking industry. Ripple connects to banks and other payment providers to create a seamless experience. Users of Ripple can send money anywhere in the world with ease. Ripple also uses an advanced, secure blockchain of its own.
- Bitcoin Cash
Another member of the Bitcoin family, Bitcoin Cash allows for speedy transactions, a reliable network, minimal fees, user-friendly set up, a stable payment system, and it is really secure. Anyone is welcome to join the Bitcoin Cash network. Bitcoin Cash gives miners access to unlimited financial growth.
- Cardano
Unlike the top 4 currencies, which are often used in conversation amongst miners, Cardano is not exactly the best-known currency. But it is gaining plenty of attention lately, as it becomes a real contender. Cardano uses a decentralised blockchain and it is an open source currency. This is a smart contract currency and at this point in its development, research is driving it forward.
The other 5 currencies that make up the top 10 are LiteCoin, NEO, Stellar, EOS and IOTA. If you have ever played the stock markets, or done some research into how a traditional market works, you've probably come across the advice to diversify.
The same advice could be given for cryptocurrency. You don't have to use your cryptocurrency mining hardware to mine only one kind of currency. Watch the trends and stay up to date with the latest news to find out where else you can profitably focus your mining attention.
The Trusted Bitcoin Mining Hardware Suppliers in South Africa
From Netsev you can buy the best video card for bitcoin mining, as well as the best graphics card for bitcoin mining. More South Africans are discovering crypto mining, and the demand for Bitcoin mining hardware, Ethereum mining rigs and all other relevant hardware has soared. Finding a reputable Bitcoin mining hardware supplier in South Africa, the kind that is not just selling you a rig, but also giving you support is becoming difficult. Do your research into the company before you put down money on a rig. Ask questions, and read as many reviews as possible before buying. The right comparisons can make your decisions more affordable in both the short and long term.

Buy high-quality mining rigs in South Africa
As the cryptocurrency rage engulfs South Africa, more people are buying cryptocurrency mining machines and setting up their own profitable mining rigs. NetSev has all of the mining machinery you need.
A mining rig kitted out with the latest Bitcoin mining technology is what you need in order to start mining cryptocurrency. The most powerful mining rigs are specially set up to perform the processes needed for successful mining. The hashrate of mining rigs can be measured in Terahash. A hashrate of 1 Terahash per second, means that the miner makes 1 trillion calculations each second. These rigs could also be a computer that both mines and performs other tasks, such as gaming. Depending on the setup, a gaming PC that doubles as a mining system can really benefit from some of the quality graphics cards used for crypto mining. But just keep in mind that if you are using your PC for mining as well as other tasks, it won't be the most profitable option. Generally, these setups are ideal for part time miners.
How to get a mining rig
There are two ways that you can get a rig; you buy one already made or you can build your own from scratch. Most new miners will find that buying a rig is the better, quicker way to go. NetSev can set up a fantastic rig just for you and deliver it at no extra cost.
Before you invest in any kind of mining rig, you should take the following things into consideration: the hashrate execution of the mining hardware, the current difficulty of the Bitcoin network, the electrical costs of running the rig and finally, the maintenance of the rig. You should also think about the time that it will take to get everything setup for mining.
Why invest ready built mining rigs?
A ready built mining rig is definitely going to save you a lot of time and effort and money. This is especially ideal if you don't have experience working with this type of hardware. When you buy a ready built rig, you will not have to worry about whether or not your machine has all of the right components. Therefore it won't cost as much as compared to building a custom rig. While on the topic the components, each rig should have a motherboard, a power supply, CPU, graphics card, memory, chassis and ROM. These components can vary from mining rig to rig, but in general, this is what will be inside your ready built system.
Another perk of buying an already built rig is that, if you have some knowledge of the industry and you know about the various components, you can request that specific parts such as a CPU or asic card be included in your rig. Buying a rig from a trusted company, preferably one that can offer you guarantees on the hardware is the best way to protect your investment.
Why trust NetSev?
NetSev has a team of technicians building mining rigs for Bitcoin and other currency mining. We also stock a massive variety of components for custom rigs. If you are just starting out and you are looking for helpful advice, our team can assist you. We offer affordable rigs and components, and our top of the range mining products have helped many miners turn a profit.
Unlike other companies selling Bitcoin hardware, we are transparent and we are always willing to help and guide you through the process of getting an efficient rig.
Our team of professionals will be able to tell you what the best video card for bitcoin mining is, which chips you need and help you select the best graphics card for bitcoin mining. You can order your supplies, such as an asic card, chips and a CPU, from our online shop.

One of the highlights at the end of each session at camp is the Spirit Dinner. It is held on the last night of camp and is a reflective event highlighting the session. One of the special parts of the dinner is when campers and counselors are recognized for the number of years they have attended camp. It does not matter if it is your first year or your tenth, you are cheered and celebrated when your year is announced.
Former campers and now staff members, Chase Nelson and Briana Ozor were very excited to earn their year gifts this summer. Chase earned her 8 year Shirt and Briana earned her 5 year pillow. This is just another great reason to return to Rockbrook summer after summer.

Red-Inc Ltd, an office supplies company in Brighton was formed amid the global recession in October 2008. In reflection of a successful first two years in business one of the biggest unexpected challenges for them was brand awareness and reputation.
As an unknown entity in a saturated market place, this is something that is very easy to underestimate when people are looking for a new supplier to reduce costs within the office environment.
The city of Brighton was crying out for a young new company with its progressive thinking for Brighton`s green market, vast array of digital and social companies with the added cosmopolitan vibe. And now in 2010 more Brighton companies are feeling happy to engage and take a closer look.
The company that was formed and built around ethics and responsibility and continues to make ground with clients both nationally and locally. Many businesses now realise that if they are buying offices supplies, they might just as well buy it smarter from an organisation that has outstanding credentials, and one that offers more in value added services.
Companies that are clients of Red-Inc Ltd are offered a service and package relevant to them and their business, not one where price and service suits all.
The smart move to reduce vendors and offer a free recycling service for the products that they sell which incidentally most companies pay for, attracted as much interest as the office supplies side of the business itself. Carrying the relevant waste licence, Red-Inc Ltd now recycles for 40% of our clients with more in the pipeline. We set up the office supplies contract first to ensure a seamless transition and then take on the recycling as phase two.
It's a great solution for the clients, one vendor for 2 services and reduced costs!
We also run a charity rebate scheme and donate some of the bottom line profit to various charities chosen by you the client.
Peter Millikin from You Could Save recently requested a day out and demonstration with Red-Inc Ltd so he could witnesses an account take on. It took less than 2 hours from start to finish; this is a finely tuned business model. Changing supplier is one of the biggest objections that people have in their mind even if we can save money, offer more value and promise an improved service.
Many buyers feel that if they change suppliers and it goes wrong it could reflect personally on them. Red-Inc guarantees it won't!
Red-Inc Ltd is a lean machine, perhaps helped by starting up in the toughest climate for 20 years. We don't have the huge costs of sales reps out travelling the width and breadth of the country; instead we rely heavily on hard work from the whole team.
Reputation and client recommendation is something that isn't born overnight!

Should businesses follow Gartner's advice and build their own data centre or should they outsource?
06 February 2012
There is more to owning a data centre than building it warns cloud services provider, InTechnology following Gartner's recent announcement that it is cheaper to build than outsource.
Bryn Sage, chief operating officer at InTechnology, said: "In principle, if you're just talking about the cost of bricks and mortar, building your own data centre can be a cheaper option.
"However, there are some key criteria that must be qualified before committing to going it alone, not least the total cost of ownership.
"For example, it's imperative to establish and understand the full business impact caused by any downtime of business-critical applications or lack of access to business-critical data.
"Building a data centre ties up a great deal of working capital. But it doesn't just end there: upgrades, maintenance, servicing and staffing all require both time and investment."
Richard Norris, IT director, CCV said: "I wanted to move to the Cloud because it would enable us to reduce capital expenditure and be more flexible in our operating costs."
Bryn Sage said: "Organisations don't need to own their own data centre to operate successfully and need to decide whether they want to tie up capital, IT resource and management time on running the facility when they could be better spent on running their core business."
"Any data centre will need a resilient network and power supply which will be up to the owner to make provision for, and it is unlikely they will have the same purchasing power as hosting companies which benefit from economies of scale."
"Technology will inevitably move on over the 15 years lifespan of a data centre and businesses thinking of making the leap need to consider whether they will be equipped to take advantage of these changes."
This view is also echoed by Sentrum, a specialist in data solutions who believe many UK businesses are throwing their IT budget out of the data centre window as many struggle to effectively plan their future data centre requirements.
The organisation recently released figures from an independent research report that showed that companies' plans for the data centre remain current for on average less than three years.

It's been almost two months since Agyness Deyn shaved her hair, and there's not a pretty pic yet (although a closeup photo IS cute!) Why would the brunette-blonde decide to get the buzz? We think any cut is better than this, and the new do disproves the theory that anyone who has a gorgeous face can wear ANY hairstyle. Why didn't she stick with one of the shorts she's worn before… the bowl design, a very short bob or little longer styles with a face-framing fringe?
As you would expect, Miss Rebel has already changed her crew cut (at the end of May) to bleached blond. She's gone platinum many times in the past with great results (this time not so good). Pundits are calling the light do the "Billy Idol." They say the Model will look more like the Idol when her hair grows out a bit and she spikes it up!
That's all we have to say for now, but one last question: Doesn't the most recent photo look more like a mug shot than a magazine cover?

JayJay Robertson Somerville has dabbled in many aspects of the media industry from a young age. He has always had an admiration for art, film and photography. However, it was not until after his tenure writing and performing with five-piece rock outfit Hiding Place – that he was able to channel his creativity into his main passion: photography. Working in the music industry with Sony/BMG Records gave JayJay insight and experience into video directing. Thusly, for many years JayJay took a hands-on, multi-disciplinary approach in creating and editing treatments; working with performance artists, writing and producing music and working both; in front of, and behind the camera. After a spell in London writing and touring another of his musical pet projects Black Arc, JayJay decided that it was time to take a break from the music industry as he wanted to concentrate all his artistic endeavors into photography . It was the ambiguity of the still shot and the ability to inspire cognition – as well as generating aesthetics – that he found more challenging than anything he had done before, and naturally, he found this far more rewarding.
Taking influential aspects from the earlier works of Stanley Kubrick, Larry Clark, Ingmar Bergman and contemporary artists like Jay Maisel and Emmanuel Lubezki has had a noticeable impact on JayJay's photographic style. Studying Philosophy, JayJay's academic work with minimalism and existentialism have embedded a conceptual ethos that has spawned his signature naturalistic shots and the work method of 'shoot more, edit less', which has contributed to the overall look and feel of his shots. Consequently, due his passion of cinematography he has developed a unique style of framing and perspective to add to an already original mix to 'allow the visuals to speak for themselves'. JayJay continues to try and erase the boundaries between photo production and everyday life; offering snapshots based on situated knowledge, history, culture, portrait shots and politics.
Jayjay has worked with Project Scotland, Hear Glasgow, and Tollcross YMCA as a photographer and mentor to youth groups as well as Glasgow City Marketing Bureau's People Make Glasgow brand. He's currently the in-house photographer for O2 venues in Glasgow and focussing on his wedding photography business with his twin brother; Del and Jayjay Wedding Photography.

NEW VLOG: Mom Brain + Us Weekly in NYC!
Well, it was a day and a half as we literally left a sick baby at home to jump on a morning flight to NYC so we could podcast with Daphne Oz and Hilaria Baldwin for the Mom Brain Podcast (releasing soon) . After that we tried to grab some quick food and that didn't end up so well, so instead we ditched the food and did a segment at Us Weekly before jumping back in a cab, heading to the airport, and getting back home to that sick baby. How was your Tuesday!? 😂
P.s- we wrote a book! It's called "Mom Truths" and it's all about our early years as new moms and all the things we wish someone would have told us before we had babies. It's available anywhere books are sold and you can learn all about it at catandnat.ca/book

The Album: Dreamgirls soundtrack (2006)
Former LA Times Editor and Out Magazine's Director of Culture and Entertainment Tre'vell Anderson, joined us to talk Jennifer Hudson and the Dreamgirls OST.
Dreamgirls won two Academy Awards - one for Best Sound Mixing, the other, Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Hudson's star-making portrayal of Effie White.
The single disc-version of the soundtrack spent two weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album. One of the songs, "Love You I Do" won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture or Television. The soundtrack, a certified banger, and Tre'vell's personal heat rock, was certified platinum.
A fan of Jennifer Hudson's since American Idol Season 3 (his favorite), the film and soundtrack resonated with him because of the all too familiar narrative of the most talented person in the room having to contend with implicit bias preventing them from living their best life.
We talked about the glory of Jennifer's journey from losing American Idol to winning at the Oscars, the difference between singers and sangers, Detroit vs. Chicago as a backdrop for the film, and what it sounds like when a Cadillac commercial get's "Pat Booned" (an Oliver Wang original saying).
Why did the film propel Jennifer Hudson to the stardom possibly meant for Beyonce (AT THAT TIME). Who knew Eddie Murphy had this sort of vocal range? Who's version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" was better: the original J.H. or the new J.H.?
Tre'vell helped us answer those questions and more!

A Touch of Guilt: Music and Guilty Pleasures
Anyone who has relatives probably knows that although guilt is an emotion we feel internally, it can be externally induced. Guilty pleasures are no different. We might feel self-conscious about liking a song because we're afraid of what other people might think or because they've already shared their opinions. I remember my poor junior-high classmate, Andy, who let it be known that he liked the group Abba. Boy, did we set him straight and make him wish that both he and Frida had never been born. In hindsight, Andy was right – Abba has its merits – but it was a catastrophic failure of self-awareness to divulge his taste to a bunch of ignorant 13 year-olds.
I thought of Andy last month when my friends and I trudged through the theme of Guilty Pleasures during our regular album night in suburban Milwaukee. I've found that guilty pleasures change depending on who you're with and correlate inversely to one's age. Today I have no problem at all admitting to my friends that I like the song "Mandy" by Barry Manilow, but back in high school? Forgetaboutit!
I approached the theme this way: a guilty pleasure is a song that I wouldn't play on the jukebox in a biker bar. That seemed to open the theme up a bit!
Here's my list from that evening (and the list could go on and on):
Invisible Tough, Genesis
Girls Chase Boys, Ingrid Michaelson
The Name of the Game, Abba (thanks Andy!)
Without You, Harry Nilsson (this was written by Badfinger, so naturally it didn't become a hit until later)
Our Lips Are Sealed, The Go-Go's
Rainy Days and Mondays, The Carpenters
Tubthumping, Chumbawamba
If You Could Read My Mind, Gordon Lightfoot (fun fact: Lightfoot sued the composer Michael Masser for the Whitey Houston hit "The Greatest Love of All," which shamelessly stole from the B section of Lightfoot's song. I understand the case was settled though I've been unable to find specifics on-line.)
Unwritten, Natasha Beddingfield
The Middle, Jimmy Eat World
Let's Talk About Me, The Alan Parsons Project
Walking On Broken Glass, Annie Lennox
Even Now, Barry Manilow (I'd have played "Mandy" if I owned it!)
Too Late, Journey (This band has made a comeback to give them an air of legitimacy, but try admitting to liking them back in the 90s – it was tough.)
Add to this list the multiple show tunes I could have played (Fiddler on the Roof songs, anyone?), campy songs by Ella Fitzgerald ("A-Tisket, A-Tasket"), a song from the Brady Bunch ("When It's Time to Change"? That song rules!), songs by Burt Bacharach, Paul Williams and Marvin Hamlisch, and virtually every song written by Alan Menken (except "Beauty and the Beast" – I could kill him for that one). Plus the entire James Taylor repertoire, Carol King, Sara Bareilles, many of the old Motown girl group hits, ballads by Ben Folds, yada yada yada.
Which begs the question: after all of this, what would be left to play in a biker bar? Not much, I'm afraid, except for classic rock and a few songs by The Replacements. I prefer the songs that induce just a touch of guilt.

Sack race is an interesting outdoor activity that kids and adults enjoyed to play. This activity is good in an area where there is a lot of space for the participants to move around. This is fun to do during kids' party. Children will really enjoy it.
Group the kids in to 2-3 groups. The number of kids in the group depends upon the number of participants you have. If you have a big crowd of participants, group them into 3 groups.
Have the groups form their lines. There must be 3 meters distance from each group. Give each group a sack. Big size of sack is preferable for comfortable movements.
Put a chair in front of the group at least 10 meters distance away from them. The chair will serve as their point of reference.
The first person in each the line will be the first participant of the race. The participant will step inside the sack, heads out holding the sides of the sack by his both hands.
When the "GO" signal is given, they hop towards the reference point the chair) go around the chair and hop back to their lines.
When they reach back to their line in the group, the next participants will follow doing the same procedure until all of them in the group will be able to participate.
The first group who will be able to finish ahead of the others will be declared the winner.
This is fun if there are 2-3 participants inside the sack. This will develop their cooperativeness and team work.
Kids or any adults who have heart failure or any sickness that involves high risk of attack when tired should not participate in this game.

|The historic Anna Amalia Library in Weimar
A somber day . . .Today began our first academic tour of the semester that compliments our courses "Christian Worldview and Apologetics" and "European-German History" -- with a stop in Flossenburg where Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed April 9, 1945, only days before the concentration camp was liberated by the Americans. After Dr. Baker gave the AMBEX students an overview of Bonhoeffer's life the group sang a hymn near the cell he spent his last night alive on this earth but started a new life the morrow. "This is the end — for me the beginning of life."
In His grace,
Jerry Orr
Director, AMBEX

Propaganda has in many ways reached such a level in today"s society that it is often hard to discern it from the truth. The masters of propaganda though were the Nazi"s.
Note the content, message, what got emphasized, themes, and visual impact. Who do you think they were they aimed at?
Were there any changes from before 1933 to after 1933, when the Nazis came to power?

Last December the World Health Organization confirmed an outbreak of Zika Virus in the Cabo (Cape) Verde Islands off the Western coast of Africa, which began last October. The CDC added Cabo Verde to their Zika travel destination alerts in January (see CDC Expands Zika Travel Advisory Country List).
Unlike the outbreak in the South Pacific and in the Americas, which involves the Asian strain of the virus, the Cape Verde outbreak has been reported as the (presumably milder) African Strain.
Last week's WHO Zika Virus SitRep - March 10th had the following to say about the lack of neurological abnormalities reported in Cabo Verde so far:
From 1 October 2015 to 28 February 2016, Cabo Verde (African region), reported 7457 suspected cases of Zika virus disease although only two cases have been confirmed by RT-PCR. The outbreak peaked during the week of 22 November 2015 and has been in decline since then. The outbreak appears to have begun in Praia and then spread to other municipalities.
Preliminary information, subject to confirmation, indicates that this outbreak has been caused by an African strain of Zika virus. To date, 165 pregnant women with suspected Zika virus infection are being followed up. 44 (27%) of these women have delivered and there was no sign of microcephaly in any of the new-borns. No neurological abnormalities have been reported.
That optimistic assessment nothwithstanding, today Cabo Verde's national health director, Tomás Valdez, held a press conference to announce the first case of Microcephaly they suspect may be linked to a Zika virus infection in that nation.
This link appears to have been based on clinical signs, and has not been lab confirmed. And as microcephaly can be caused by other factors, one case is not necessarily proof of anything.
But this case adds a new wrinkle to the global Zika investigation, and will undoubtedly get some serious scrutiny by both public health agencies and Zika researchers. There is a link to an audio of the press conference on the news site (I was unable to make it work).
Cape Verde registers the first case of microcephaly with possible connection to zika
Cape Verde recorded the first case of microcephaly in newborn with probable relationship to zika virus.In a press conference, in Praia, the national health director, Tomás Valdez, said it is the first case of microcephaly with possible links to zika, since the mother will have had during pregnancy, symptoms of infection, despite not having shifted to health structures.
"This is the first probable complication of a situation of suspected zika virus resulting from a pregnancy of a mother who reported having manifested signs and symptoms compatible with an infection zika virus. During the course of the disease, did not you sought health services and during did prenatal reference to the clinical picture. the child born of this delivery was to the clinical conditions of microcephaly. the case was notified under the supervision established for pregnant women, " said the national director health, Tomás Valdez.
The national director of health ensured that the occurrence has been notified to the World Health Organization (WHO), under the International Health Regulations.
The zika epidemic in Cape Verde was officially declared on 22 October 2015 and until March 6, 2016 7,457 suspected cases were recorded.

A Latin Impact on the Finance Industry
Banking Institutions make the perfect business design to understand from the time thinking about ever altering market conditions. Their traditional target financial markets are stable, but, the requirements of a growing market, the Latino marketplace is very underserved. That is certainly not for insufficient money. Many Latinos do not have debt and healthy saving habits. The issue arises, are banking institutions doing enough for everyone this population? Could they be adjusting to the Latino needs? The reply is complicated.
There's two kinds of Latinos in the united states. The first is the immigrant seeking a much better existence and wanting the American dream, whether or not they came with the proper channels or otherwise it's irrelevant. The 2nd, would be the Latinos which are born here. They are two completely different categories of individuals with different needs and goals. Most immigrants bring their culture, traditions, and customs together towards the US. Individuals born here create a blended culture that's both Latino and American.
Banking Institutions take notice and making strides to support this very economically influential population. The primary reason is the fact that there's lots of purchase of education and creating trust. An untold detail is the fact that in Latino countries, people don't trust banks and lender due to corruption. Things are compensated in cash and you will find no debt or traditional credit ratings. Which means that the Latino community have cash, most likely stored under their bed mattress or perhaps in footwear box. This is extremely harmful thinking about that the house fire could burn a whole existence savings. Another scenario is that they turn into a target for robbery. This can be a foreign concept for Americans. What's happening is a big learning curve, educating them on the entire process of building credit, saving their cash inside a lender, getting loans (mortgage, vehicle, etc.), and many important getting rely upon the banking institutions.
The more youthful generations which are born here study from their parents and surroundings. There's still a disconnect from the significance of lending options, building credit, and just how that process works. A number of these youthful individuals are just converting for his or her parents, explaining lending options, and be a middleman for performing business. You will observe a rise in bilingual support at many banking institutions because of this. There's still lots of try to do in connection with this, which process will require time.
However, increasingly more banking institutions are providing products specific to Latinos. Details are becoming obtainable in Spanish and much more banking institutions are hiring bilingual and multi-lingual loudspeakers. It will likely be interesting to determine the way we like a country adjust to this important demographic. It's truly an untapped market which has an essential function within our economy for growth and stability.
