We believe every facet of modern life is about to go through a revolutionary change thanks to the advent of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts via blockchain. The future is increasingly decentralized, and that will leave a major impression on your life.
From the ways your clothes are made and delivered, to how the components in your TV or cellphone talk to one another, this recent technological leap promises to revitalize modern life. Still, there are hundreds of millions of people who may not be able to access that bright future unless something changes.
There are about 650 million people across the Caribbean and Latin American regions, and all of them are looking for their chance to bring their knowledge, passion, inspiration, and experiences to the new global marketplace. It is estimated that 70% of those people - or more than 400 million people - are unbanked or financially underserved, a huge market encompassing billions of dollars (Source). Those 400 million people are at a disadvantage because of their limited access to basic banking services and a dedicated, reliable cryptocurrency exchange that's capable of bringing their communities into the future (Source).
That's why we're building OuroX, the first and only cryptocurrency exchange of which we're aware that's dedicated specifically to the Caribbean and Latin America. OuroX will provide a lifeline into the future for hundreds of millions of people. And this investment opportunity is your chance to be a part of it.
Try buying (and trading in) Bitcoin from Suriname, South America. It's not only a hassle, but more close to impossible. This led CEO Maya Parbhoe to pursue the creation of this company. Even a simple wire can be a daunting task. Forget being able to purchase anything online.
Failure to keep up with technological advances in the financial services industry is impeding regional economic growth and competitiveness by costing more time and funds for even basic financial transactions, compared to North America, Europe and Asia.
We are therefore preparing to launch a comprehensive set of cutting edge FinTech based financial and trade services in the Latin American and Caribbean regions, including:
A highly innovative exchange with a comprehensive trading platform and professional UI named OuroX;
An online and mobile payment processor;
A comprehensive multi-vendor marketplace named Fuente;
A regional shipping costs and logistics calculation tool.
What is OuroX?
OuroX is, at its core, a trustworthy, reliable, secure and cutting-edge cryptocurrency exchange with a comprehensive trading platform and professional UI specifically created to service the Latin American and Caribbean Regions. Though it might be limited to hosting the largest cryptocurrencies at its launch, OuroX will still deliver high-quality functionality with a unique spin that reflects the region. Furthermore, while OuroX will begin as an exchange, we believe it will end as so much more, because OuroX is entering a market that is ripe for disruption.
OuroX Exchange's Amazing Features
OuroX will launch equipped with features standard to any major cryptocurrency exchange. Currently in development with AlphaPoint, the exchange will be an advanced platform capable of handling over one million trades/second. It will launch with five of the largest cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP and EOS).
Where OuroX differentiates itself at the outset is its unique dedication to the Caribbean and Latin American markets. The platform will support English, Spanish and Portuguese to reach the widest audience. Eventually, the platform will support fiat currencies of every market OuroX enters. But at the launch, functions will be basic.
The Fuente marketplace, where buyers and sellers can connect, will create sustainable economic growth in regions where entrepreneurs now have trouble connecting and doing business securely and conveniently.
Using Blockchain and distributed ledger technology we believe we can reduce costs and make transfers fast and easy (in real-time) worldwide. We believe that with the FinTech applications in our hands, we have the ability to improve the consumer banking and payment systems in the Latin American region.
$1.67/share of Series B Common Stock│When you invest you are betting the company's future value will exceed $12.6M.
For details on the bonus, please see the Offering Summary below.
Currently we have finished development of the exchange platform, which will launch with the 5 top crypto currencies based on Blockchain technology, and will be launching at the end of October. We will be rolling out several features over the next 4 quarters. Blockchain based payment processing is one of the features we will be developing in the first quarter of 2019. We want to apply for an international banking license in the second quarter of 2019. And will be applying for licenses in the jurisdictions where we will operate.
Though there are exchanges available, we strongly believe that there is a need for a trustworthy, reliable and secure exchange with a comprehensive trading platform and professional UI.
The Latin American and Caribbean regions lack a dedicated cryptocurrency exchange because FinTech and trade services infrastructure are generally underdeveloped and lag behind other centers of finance. Nevertheless, markets arise whether or not they have the infrastructure to back them, so the regions have made due.
Therefore, while financial services are still available to function, they are tightly monopolized by a few institutions, usually state-sponsored. This lack of support impedes economic growth and competitiveness across the regions, affecting the cost, speed, and ease of financial transactions.
The situation these regions face is difficult. Workarounds might exist but are insecure and poorly built, and the regions suffer. Entrepreneurship and business ownership becomes very difficult due to the overwhelmingly high barriers to entry. Services are provided slowly and selectively, and stagnation is the norm.
What's more, these obstacles also negatively impact fair credit across the regions, keeping businesses in the hands of the wealthiest few (Source). We believe that without a means to secure credit, individuals and businesses are forced to contract, while communities have to make choices that impact lives. Improvements are put off and people suffer. The end result is a hostile environment for both companies and people.
We believe that a cutting edge blockchain based exchange and trading platform built for the regions can help alleviate some of those issues.
We have a vision for a cutting edge exchange; the best exchange in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a global future. And with all our FinTech services, changing the way people interact financially.
According to our research, most regionally accessible exchanges have a poor technical architecture and an insecure platform, the majority of which have been built by people with some technical background. This results often in exchanges that are rushed and use the simplest approach to get up and running. We believe that this might be a low cost way to start, but leaves the exchange open to a lot of vulnerabilities. They have poor market liquidity and thin order books. Slippage is a major problem for traders and users alike. They generally have poor customer service and international support.
Furthermore, putting regional business at an even greater disadvantage is the lack of adequate capacity of current exchanges to accept new investors. There are waiting lists and high liquidity thresholds discouraging entry of these potential new investors.
Add to the above the slow and costly banking transfer practices that are common throughout the region, and it quickly becomes obvious that there is a huge potential for a cutting edge Blockchain based exchange and trading platform.
OuroX will provide a stable solution to a number of the problems facing the Latin American and Caribbean regions by providing a funding route, a means of trading, and the means to facilitate transactions. Just by making these services readily available, OuroX will greatly stimulate entrepreneurship across the region and enable companies to scale more easily than ever before.
As a cutting-edge, blockchain-based exchange and trading platform, OuroX wants to guarantee access to a revolutionary new economy for millions of people across the regions. A secure cryptocurrency exchange will provide a lifeline for investment, growth, and competition by creating an impartial financial infrastructure. Furthermore, once established, OuroX can become the foundation for further improvements.
Following OuroX's establishment in October 2018, the platform will work to establish new functions to better serve the regions. The first addition will be the creation of both merchant services and payment-processing functionality to make OuroX a platform capable of handling every step for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Secured by the blockchain, this will provide peace of mind and a plethora of new options.
Finally, before the end of 2019, OuroX plans to establish a marketplace connecting lenders with borrowers through smart contracts, thus creating an independent credit system. This alternative marketplace would let people connect directly, thus securing loans on friendlier terms. Not only would this lift a massive burden from entrepreneurs in Latin America and the Caribbean, this would allow OuroX to pursue other methods of establishing credit, such as pooled funds and community-driven ratings.
Building a fairer alternative for everyone across these regions is our ultimate goal and it gives OuroX an immense leg-up. Because when we succeed, everyone will succeed.
At present and to our knowledge, there is no online marketplace available for manufacturers, distributors, sellers and buyers in the region that is in any way comparable to successful platforms that are available in North America and Asia.
The Fuente marketplace, where buyers and sellers can connect, will create sustainable economic growth in regions where entrepreneurs now have trouble connecting and doing business securely and conveniently.
The use of digital payments is on the rise.
However, currently the costs for transferring funds are high, according to our research, about 8% averages worldwide. Using Blockchain and distributed ledger technology we can reduce costs and make transfers fast and easy (in real-time) worldwide.
With the FinTech applications in our hands, we have the ability to improve the consumer banking and payment systems in the Latin American region.
With our platform we can increase accessibility to modern technologies to our customer base. We can enable mobile payments and transactions and change the financial infrastructure of the region.
We can enable entrepreneurs to grow and scale their businesses. Moreover, we can provide easy access to finance to the many unbanked in the region, given that according to Global Findex data 2017, mobile phone ownership is widespread among the unbanked. Globally, about two-thirds of all 1.1 billion unbanked adults, do have a mobile phone (Global Findex Database).
With the team's combined knowledge of the region and firsthand experiences (and frustrations) with its issues, no one knows the industry quite like they do. And that's exactly why OuroX has such an incredible opportunity to make a drastic difference in these developing economies.
A reliable and secure trading platform and cryptocurrency exchange provides a pathway for funding and expansion. When it is able to add in merchant services and peer-to-peer lending, OuroX has the chance to seize on something very rare and unique. We believe it has a chance to step into a vacuum to facilitate entrepreneurship and small business growth across the region in nearly unimaginable ways. In our opinion, OuroX, once all of its features have been implemented, can literally transform Latin America and the Caribbean.
In the US, this transformation came about through Amazon's ubiquitous adoption; China went through a similar change with the introduction of Alibaba & TenCent. But the Latin American, South American, and Caribbean markets have had no such logistical behemoth. We believe that, OuroX has the chance to become that.
This means that eventually, OuroX hopes to encompass e-commerce and logistics, as well. We believe that a platform like OuroX not only has the chance to reshape the region's economic infrastructure, it also has the chance to leave a significant and lasting impression on physical infrastructure as well. One day soon, we believe that OuroX could build up the transportation infrastructure of the Caribbean and Latin American regions to ensure shipping transparency, guaranteed accurate shipping prices, and unparalleled access to even the most remote of communities. It will boost regional commerce and facilitate the easier movement of freight.
A chance to put a latin American startup on the map. And a chance to bring a message of prosperity to the region.
Now is a great time to consider investing in OuroX. We are well positioned to benefit from the booming FinTech industry in the Latin American and Caribbean regions which is ripe with opportunities for those equipped to grab them.
We believe that OuroX is your chance to actually become a ground-floor investor in a company capable of solving real issues for millions of people. We believe that we have the tools to capitalize on the massive opportunities in these regions.
We believe that OuroX solves some of the issues facing the regions, the execution will be solid thanks to AlphaPoint, and the leadership is exceptional.
Nevertheless, the true opportunity here isn't just the business, its the ability to affect real positive change for hundreds of millions of people. And when an entire region benefits, you'll benefit, and the world will benefit. Don't miss your chance to to put down a tangible commitment to a better future for yourself and half the hemisphere.

In addition to today's earlier update:
For our Dutch readers, some of the mentions in the Surinamese press this week:
If you missed the update, you can read it here in English:
OuroX Signs LOI with the Suriname Stock Exchange and Takes First Steps to Develop an Innovative Securities Exchange for Latin America and the Caribbean.
We can finally share the great news with you, which we have been working on for months!
Paramaribo, May 2nd, 2019 - OuroX and the Suriname Stock Exchange signed a letter of intent last week with the goal of establishing a modern digital National Securities Exchange in Suriname, as required by the Capital Market Act of 2014. This first step paves the way for OuroX to develop and operate the new digital National Securities Exchange. OuroX is an American FinTech start-up, founded by South American entrepreneurs.
The new National Securities Exchange will enable SMEs and large corporations to get access to a wide array of capital market financing options, which have previously been out of reach. Stimulating long-term economic growth not only for Suriname, but for the entire Latin American and Caribbean region as well. OuroX uses blockchain to digitize assets, which increases transparency, efficiency and better supervision in capital markets. All which is necessary to increase the flow of foreign investment into the region.
Companies in a large part of the region are still mainly dependent on lending to facilitate growth. With the exchange, OuroX aims to provide capital market financing options and instruments, not only for small, medium and large companies, but also for banks, investment funds, pension funds and government. The first steps have been taken to obtain the necessary licenses and OuroX is closely working with regulators to create a regulatory framework necessary to facilitate the new technology.
The National Securities Exchange of Suriname is built using state-of-the-art exchange software from OuroX's American FinTech parent company. The software is developed by AlphaPoint, a market leader in innovative exchange software. Working with Alphapoint was a strategic decision, as it allows OuroX, and thus the digital Suriname Securities Exchange to easily connect to international capital markets. To be able to do so, the exchange will be compliant with the latest standards of international financial regulations.
The goal of OuroX is to improve financial infrastructure in Suriname and the rest of the South American and Caribbean region through the use of modern technology. The FinTech startups' plan is to start by digitizing the National Securities Exchange, with the primary purpose of developing the Surinamese capital market up to international standards. In addition to this, OuroX's payment app will complement the exchange by offering fast, safe and low-cost payments and cross-border remittances.
OuroX looks forward to closely working with Surinamese regulators, companies and financial institutions to create the most value for the economy by launching two markets, one for startups and SMEs and one for large corporations. Developing the ecosystem from startup to IPO.
"We will start by digitizing the securities of the twelve companies that are currently listed on the Suriname Stock Exchange. After which we will proceed with the on-boarding of new companies on the exchange. The opportunity is of course much larger than just securities. We will grow steadily by creating products for real estate, commodities trading (including oil and gold), and in the near future also FOREX", explains Serge Tjin Wong Joe, President of Business Development.
OuroX believes that with the obtained support from the current Suriname Stock Exchange, which has been pioneering the industry for over 25 years, it will provide a significant boost to the Surinamese economy.
''We are grateful for the solid foundation the Suriname Stock Exchange has laid in terms of structure and compliance, giving Suriname a head start in comparison to other securities exchanges in the rest of the region that have yet to become digital. It is important to understand that the development and implementation of the new digital exchange, with full cooperation and support of regulators, will be possible in just a few months. The exchange will be available to financial institutions, companies and governments in Q3 of this year." says Maya Parbhoe, CEO of OuroX.
Education about the opportunities and possibilities of a digital securities exchange for all participants is an important part of the development of OuroX. While the financial instruments that come with a digital exchange are widely used in Europe, Asia and the US, they are still new to Suriname. "The great thing about it, is that we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Using the latest financial technology, we can bridge the gap relatively quickly.", says Parbhoe.
More information regarding the development of the digital Surinamese Securities Exchange will follow soon!

It was a slow start for us when we started with this raise. We're very patient, because we realise that it takes time. The vision is so large and so is the scale and impact of what we're working on to achieve. Yes, we're ambitious, and maybe a little bit crazy. But it's the crazy ones who change the world. One step at a time.
It takes a while for people to understand, which is logical, especially when you bring innovation to a region not familiar with the possibilities and opportunities that the technology brings. We are ultimately grateful (and so hyped!) to see more and more of you sharing our vision, and most importantly, the belief in us, to make this happen. We won't let you down, we promise.
Thank you!
Team OuroX
P.S. Stay tuned for a big announcement coming up!
The OuroX team had the privilege to, for the very first time, exhibit at the Blockchain Shift Conference in Miami in October 2018. We hope you have 2 minutes to take a look at our adventures we summarised for you! Don't forget to subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more!
Welcoming all new investors! We are ultimately grateful for you joining us on our journey to improve financial inclusion in Latin America & The Caribbean!
We enjoyed reading the CB Insights 2019 FinTech Report, we think you will too!
During the past 2 weeks the OuroX team had the privilege to host several very successful events in Paramaribo, Suriname. Some were private, sitting down with local Surinamese entrepreneurs, CEO's and financial policymakers to discuss the opportunities OuroX can provide to the Surinamese economy.
We've received valuable feedback, and are working on moving forward with several parties, of which we're hoping to be able to disclose more soon. During the public event on March 20th, there ended up being more people than chairs available, for which we couldn't be more grateful! We believe education will be part of our responsibility, given the fact that we're offering state of the art FinTech to a yet unchartered region.
As the interest is clearly bigger than anticipated, OuroX is planning on hosting more events in June! Thanks to everyone who supported and attended...soon more!
Happy Tuesday, hope all is well on your side! Our team just got back from a short trip to Curacao, where we presented our plans to the financial community in Curacao during the AICPA event. We've received positive feedback and had some good meetings of which the outcome will be shared with you soon!
This week we are hosting two private events with entrepreneurs and government, and next week a public event, all in Suriname, our home country. The aim of these events is spreading awareness and educating about the opportunities of a digital securities exchange for the economy of Suriname. We wrote this article about it as an introduction (unfortunately, it's in Dutch, but maybe Google translate works?).
For those in Suriname, interested in attending our public event on the 20th of March, sign up here: https://goo.gl/forms/wRngMuoP6ND6oMoQ2
Gratitude to our investors helping us pass the US$45K milestone, which will lead to more promotion of our raise from Startengine itself! We are so thankful and excited! Part of our team is currently in Curacao, and we are expecting to tell you more about the outcome of this trip very soon!
In the mean time we are organising an event in Suriname, speaking about the Future of Finance and the role of OuroX on 20th of March 2019 at the Royal Ballroom in Torarica. See invite below. We hope to see you there!
A very cool interview with Maya Parbhoe for Security Token Newspaper. Read here.
Welcome to our new investors!! We are so excited to share this exclusive OuroPay UI preview with you! Do you love it as much as we do?
Whoooot! As we said in our previous update: "Great things take time'' and it looks like things are picking up fast(er)! We are so grateful to our new investors, whose investment lead us to passing US$40K raised.
In addition, we are mentioned on the Startengine Landing Page as offerings with Most Momentum.
So...if you have been waiting...the time is now! Join us on our journey of improving the way people interact financially, starting in Latin America & The Caribbean. Invest in us today!
Happy Weekend!

Hello! Recently, a change was made to the OuroX offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:
Extending campaign 60 days.
When live offerings undergo changes like these on StartEngine, the SEC requires that certain investments be reconfirmed. If your investment requires reconfirmation, you will be contacted by StartEngine via email with further instructions.
Wishing you a Happy Valentine's day and some extra love going out to our (new) investors!!
You may have noticed that we only have 4 days left on the raise...but that won't mean the end of it. I mean, how could it?! We're planning on taking over the world after all haha! All jokes aside...Due to the delay we endured with filing with the SEC and our campaign going live right before the Holiday season, it was quite the challenge to get the campaign the attention that it deserves. We only got the opportunity to get to our family and friends in the second week of January, which isn't too long ago, and as you know, our plans need explaining and people need time to think and decide. All great things take time and should be allowed to get the time to grow. Based on all that's going on behind the scenes (which unfortunately, we cannot reveal just yet), we are confident we will be able to raise the US$107K within the next 60 days. We expect you to be part of it!
Thank you for your trust, we won't let you down!

Hi everyone, hope all is well on your side! What a week since we've launched the OuroX exchange...Have you made an account yet?!
I wanted to take this chance to send gratitude from the heart to our new investors. We're happy to welcome you to the financial revolution taking LatAm and the Caribbean by storm!
Now there is a lot going on behind the curtains that we cannot speak about yet…but trust me, it's going to be worth the wait! In the mean time, I can tell you this:
We're currently undergoing a CPA review, which is necessary to file an amendment to increase our raise cap to US$1.07 million. After we've raised the US$1.07 million, we get audited. After which we plan to raise up to a total of US$15 million in the form of a Reg A+ offering, in order to obtain broker dealer licenses in Asia, Europe and the US, in addition to rolling out our products (Securities on OuroX; OuroPay and Fuente) as planned.
You can currently invest and own a part of the company. We will start to pay out dividends in 2020. When you invest, the funds go into an escrow account and we have to file a disbursement if we want to withdraw money out of escrow. In addition, we need to account for how that money will be spent.
We know many of you have been wondering about how we plan to achieve our goals, looking at the current raise cap of US$ 107K and knowing about our plans and mission. To obtain the proper licenses and add more features, we need to raise capital. And a lot more than US$ 107K, which is why we plan to raise US$ 15 million.
We hope this clears things up! If you happen to have any questions about this (or anything else), feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Talk soon! Happy Weekend!
Warm regards,
Nadira Ramautarsing

Third week of January already, we hope you all are doing great! Time flies when there's a lot happening. We're just a few weeks out from the official Launch of our platform (February, 1 2019). The soft launch and beta-testing are going very well.
Special thank you to our new investors, we are so appreciative of the support! We're scheduling more one-on-one investor meetings as well as signing regional business accounts for our FinTech startup. We've been working non-stop on all the elements to have them align just right, and so far, it's working.
Now of course OuroX couldn't happen without partners. At least not at the level and speed at which the platform has come to life. Without our partners, we don't know where we'd be on this. Thus, we dedicated a special blogpost to our partners, and we think it's an interesting read. Check it out here.
Talk soon!

Hi everyone! We hope you had a great weekend and are having a good week so far, closing 2018 strong!
Special thank you to our new investors, we are truly grateful that you trust us to come along on this journey to provide a lifeline into the future of hundreds of millions of people by changing the way they interact financially!
We're excited about 2019 coming up and wanted to provide you with a little more detail on how we are planning to spend the funds that we receive from you. At the moment we are in the final testing phase for the exchange and are planning to do a soft launch and hopefully be able to launch to the public officially in January 2019.
Use of Proceeds:
If we raise the target amount of $106,998.57, we plan to use these proceeds as follows:
Marketing: 25.0%
Funds will be implemented into marketing the exchange and growing the user base. Our marketing strategy will be implemented on all social channels.
Research & Development: 25.0%
The budget will be spent on Research & Development of the platform. Focus is on obtaining a broker-dealer license for the region that will allow us to trade stocks on our platform. And development of the mobile application and payment processor.
Company Employment: 20.0%
Salaries for employees of the company.
Operations: 10.0%
General business operations, legal and licensing costs.
Working Capital: 14.0%
For general costs of the exchange.
After the Reg CF campaign closes we plan to run a Reg A+ campaign, an exemption signed into law by the SEC, allowing private companies such as ours to raise up to US$50 million. We plan to raise a maximum of US$15 million.
We hope this provides you with more insight on our plans! Wishing a great holiday season to all of you!
Warm regards,
Team OuroX
If you're not sure what a FinTech platform is, that's okay...You can read more about it in this article: What does a FinTech Platform Need to Succeed? Hope it sheds more light on the technicalities and if you have any other questions for us with regards to OuroX, feel free to contact us any time on email@example.com!
Hi all, hope you are well and enjoying the weekend!
As you know, we are currently running a Reg CF offering. We plan to raise capital through a Security Token Offering with the ERC-1450 protocol, which entails that tokens are only minted at the moment when investors buy securities. The maximum amount of tokens that are allowed to be created is fixed at 2,000,000 (authorized stock). OuroX places high value on compliance. Protecting our investors is very important to us, as we have a long term vision on changing the way people interact financially, starting in Latin America and the Caribbean, but with a global future in mind. This is also the reason why we're doing an equity regulation crowdfunding offering (Reg CF campaign), put in place by the SEC, allowing companies such as ours to raise up to US$1,07 million from the public. After reaching this goal, we might choose to do a Reg A+ campaign, allowing us to raise more funds, if necessary. Obtaining all proper licensing to expand our product offering and creating a marketplace for the region might require such, however, the maximum of 2,000,000 shares will not be exceeded. We hope you are just as excited as we are passionate about this upcoming financial revolution in an underserved region, allowing us to play a huge role in making a change! Also, really great breakdown on security tokens by John Kenny in Data Driven Investor. We're not saying this is a must-read, but….., this is a must-read!
Team OuroX
Just wanted to drop you a quick line and thank you for your support on our raise. We have been exhibiting at Blockshow Asia in Singapore for the past few days, promoting the company and looking to build strategic partnerships that will strengthen us on our mission to change the way people interact financially in Latin America and the Caribbean.
So far, those we spoke to are excited and supportive, especially when they come to know that we are not just one of the many exchanges that are popping up at the moment. We are the only exchange that provides its community the opportunity to become an owner of the platform. We also are very relentless in reaching the goal of becoming the NYSE of Latin America & The Caribbean, as no such platform exists in the region.
So the journey continues and we are grateful you are joining us!! We will be updating you regularly, but don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter and/or LinkedIN. Also, don't forget to tell your colleagues, friends and family about what we are up to and how they can invest in changing lives and boosting economies!

Milch looking forward to his return to the ring
Having had to endure a frustrating six months out injured, boxer Tony Milch is getting ready to re-enter the ring as he looks to maintain his 100 percent winning start to his fledgling career.
Next month's fight at the Park Lane Hotel, at a sold-out dinner show to raise funds for the Michael Watson charity, will be the 33-year-old's fifth, and having had to recuperate for the best part of half a year, he's now raring to go.
Breaking his left hand in his last fight back in February, the light middleweight has had to bide his time. He says: "I would have had seven or eight fights behind me now but for the injury, but I'm now really looking forward to this next fight.
Get The Jewish News Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up
"I kept training really hard during my time out, kept active, and although I wasn't able to punch, focussed on other areas. I did more strength work which I wouldn't usually have done, so I didn't let the injury get to me.
"I was also working – and still am – with a sports psychologist who helped me get through the fact [mentally] I was out for six months, now I'm at my fight weight and raring to go."
And saying how he wants to make up for lost time, he says: "I want to go until my body says no and don't want to have just one or two fights a year. I want to keep the ball rolling. After this one, I would look at getting in another one before the end of the year, and then another one perhaps in March time.
"I want to fight for a title, my promoter says it's possible at some time next year, and that's what I'm looking for." Aside from fighting in the ring, Milch is also a personal trainer and is looking to jointly-set up a White Collar event in early 2015 to raise money for a Jewish charity, of which he can also help out anyone who wishes to take part.
Also encouraging members of the community to keep fit, he says: "Boxing is a great way for people to keep fit and healthy, and should they wish to take the next step forward, I can also help train them if they wish to have a go in the ring."

Anti-theist authors and scholars come from a diverse array of academic backgrounds. Richard Dawkins, the renowned and award-winning evolutionary biologist, approaches the criticism of religious beliefs by combating them with the faith-destroying fact of evolution, and science in general. Sam Harris eloquently critiques religion by offering highly intelligent philosophical argumentation coupled with his own areas of expertise, neuroscience and psychology. Daniel Dennett destroys delusions by deconstructing the poor philosophy and science behind the claims made by religious apologists and theists. And then there was the late journalist and mutilator of manmade myths Christopher Hitchens, who employed perforating prose which proved capable of convincing the sincerest believer that they had been squandering their precious existence on fictions parading as facts. I could continue to list the varied assortment of anti-theist authors but I think I've made my point. Each approach to religious criticism has its own unique venom and each and every one of these venoms helps to tame and ultimately take down this hydra that has harmed humanity since its formal inception on the southern plains Mesopotamia.
My own approach to religious criticism has been to meticulously study the religions I am criticising. I like to see how they tick by taking them apart piece by piece – by examining their mythical, philosophical, theological and historical backgrounds. I enjoy holding one religion in one hand and another in the other and comparing and contrasting their expression phenomena (beliefs, practices, rites, rituals, ceremonies, etc.). My passion for in-depth studies in religion inspired me to undertake a Master's degree at the University of New England, where I am acquiring the academic tools necessary to write academic papers on the numerous problems associated with the various religions, and religion in general.
Here are just a few examples of my work on:
Atheism (No, this is not a religion!)
Thomas Paine, Infidels & Blasphemy
Epic of Gilgamesh and Mesopotamian Religion
Alexander the God?: Religion as Political Propaganda
Whether you attack religion through science, philosophy, studies in religion, or from the fertile soil of any other branch of academia, just know that your particular approach is needed. Religion has been around for thousands upon thousands of years. It is part of the very fabric of language, culture, politics, the arts, and just about every aspect of human society, particularly in regions where it still retains temporal authority. We need all hands on deck to destroy this virus, so whatever intellectual and/or academic approach you enjoy employing, know that it is desperately needed and highly valuable.

If you are thinking about listing your home on the market you've probably given some thought to staging. And if there is one thing to keep in mind it is this: a buyer should be able to come into your home and visualize themselves living in it. That's when they make the connection, fall in love and, most importantly, visually "move". Here is just a sampling of suggestions I have for preparing your home for the market:
1. Think about the clutter…and get rid of it! The kitchen, for example, to many, is the most important feature. Even a small kitchen can accentuate its counter space by just clearing away the mail, the toaster, the spice rack, knife rack, etc. Clutter can even be in the form of furniture and in some cases it may be beneficial to move a piece out to give the room the appearance of more space. Try rearranging some pieces and see the difference.
2. Pull up the blinds and let the light in!
3. When it comes to accessories, work in groups of threes. Odd numbers tend to be more appealing. If you have a console table showcasing an array family pictures, try pulling some away and doing a small group of three next to your lamp.
Remember, you want prospects to see themselves living in your home.

Ronni Barrett has an alter ego, Crabby Old Lady. Today Crabby has a list of suggestions for making your blog user-friendly for those of us who remember sputnik:
She's reading as fast as she can, but Crabby lately finds herself skipping some blogs because they are too hard to read. Old eyes are different from young ones - they tire more easily and don't function as critically as young eyes. But there are easy adjustments bloggers can make to their sites so that older people can enjoy them too:
Entry Date: Unless there is a photograph or other image at the top of a post, all blog entries look alike when the page loads – words, words, words - and Crabby feels cheated when she gets to sentence three or four and realizes she's already read and maybe even commented on the post.
So those dates at the bottom of an entry aren't much help. Better to have them at the top since Crabby usually knows about how long it's been since she last visited.
I see some serious blog redesign is in order. Is your blog easily readable (and navigable) for older readers? Go read the rest.

Secret Hide
Pitch black covers, conceals thy package.
Starlight banished from thy emerald eyes.
Crimson, orange, and copper leaves start to float,
falling down upon cold, unforgiving ground.
Time oozes through thy tinged bones and lonely soul.
Memories dance about thee, seeking their master.
Chilled, blue ink starts to dry; pen writes on, as I mournfully sigh.
Henceforth, a bleak laughter rises; then shrieks!
"Down, down, deep I died. Icy waters kept secret my hide.
Yet, I tried to breathe, I did gasp! Said goodbye to my fateful past."
I'm compelled to ponder, Oh! How I wonder,
"Why me, dear friend, dost thou haunt? Dost thou desire my torment?"
Questions, I know not easily answered
in the darkest shadowlands of my nightscape.
Late into the timeless abyss of love and hate
I will greet thee; try to write of the nothingness
that has beseeched thy twilight spirit.
Is it too much to ask, how long canst thou last?
As the crescent moon takes its lazy slumber,
I beg thee, dear friend!
I freely admit, she was thy lady;
unlike any other, such a rare beauty.
Now, she's mine, an eternal jewel.
Find thy peace. Let me rest
revealed and wet with a deadly sin.
I finally confess as the
chilled blue ink starts to dry.
"What is it that you say?"
Ah. . .it's my turn to die.[ end ]

Salad Spinners Corp. founder Rich Levy is preparing to franchise his healthy fast-food restaurant business. Mr. Levy recently opened his fourth Salad Spinners in the Loop, at 300 S. Wacker Drive. He aims to start selling franchises by early next year.
Healthy chain on the move
"We are ready," the 32-year-old South African says.
His move comes at a time when salads are becoming more common offerings at fast-food places. Starbucks began offering salads in June, joining McDonald's, which has had them for several years. But Mr. Levy believes his gourmet offerings which include salads such as Cherry Chow and Tropical Sunsplash as well as a make-your-own salad with 80 ingredients set Salad Spinners apart.
Mr. Levy opened his first Salad Spinners store in February 2000. Since then, he has expanded to four locations. He started with six employees and now has 40. Annual revenue is about $3.2 million.
The question looming over Mr. Levy's franchising plan is how big the market for salads is, says Lloyd Gordon, president and founder of Skokie-based GEC Consultants Inc., which focuses on the restaurant business.
"People are still eating fried chicken, and people are still flocking to have greasy hamburgers," he says. "So the question is, how fast are people going to change?"

Xerocon London 2018 has been a fantastic event! Highlights ranged from the zip-line to sporadic visits from MTD Dexter and, for us, the icing on the cake – our win of Practice App of the Year. Our CEO, Hannah Dawson, gave us her thoughts.
This year has been full of massive milestones for Futrli, and I want to start by saying how proud I am of our team. To receive this award has been the perfect final win to top off an excellent year, and will be the fuel for our fire in the coming one.
Building Futrli over the last four years has had its challenges. Such fast growth has been overwhelming, but so rewarding. Thinking back to receiving Xero's Emerging Add On Partner of the Year back in February 2015 to now, merely three and a half years later, receiving Best Practice App of the Year is truly mind-blowing. It's a tribute to and a reflection of the hard work and dedication our team puts in every day, as well as the support from our partners and their investment in their clients' futures as well as their own.
To win Practice App of the Year is a massive achievement for us. I couldn't be happier with the support and recognition this award has brought us. The response was huge. In addition to an ecstatic team on-site at Xerocon, we had an equally celebratory team back in our offices at home in Brighton and, when they finally woke up, those in our Australian bases. It didn't stop there, either. We've had partners, associates and contacts reaching out over social media and in person at Xerocon from all around the globe to express their congratulations.
The response, for me, reiterated the reach Futrli has and the power of its benefits for firms and businesses. We want advisors looking up. Up from their desks and towards the people they're supporting. Forget hours spent on reports – we want you to do that in seconds and to spend your time supporting your clients. Not forgetting looking up in terms of growth and expansion, for themselves and for their clients.
I'm excited about the future and what it holds for Futrli and our partners. This is an affirmation of our hard work so far. Going forward, we'll be investing in building cutting-edge technology that will turn business finance on its head. For us, forecasting and reporting is just the beginning.

EDIT: It appears my page numbers were off, I thought it was about 300+ pages when I made my calculation, there was closer to 100 pages left. Also, my guess was pretty accurate.
and i'm even being nice and putting a spoiler tag on this because i'm that sure
i predict that we discover that his (as well as his father and brother's) illness is in fact the result of deliberate poisoning by a branch of the family that wishes to inherit and take over the property.
the poisons are taken from the exotic plants that grow in the marquess' conservatory
they are gathered by his female cousin who frequently comes by for clippings because of the exotic nature of the lovely plants. the cousin in question is who the family hoped he'd marry to fix the first between the branch, but who is also the sister to the man who will inherit the lands and title should the marquess die w/out a heir.
the poisons are then delivered by her maid to the marquess' valet, who is in on the whole thing and makes sure that the marquess gets his dose (likely mixed into his preferred alcohol)
some 183 pages to go, and i'm pretty damn sure that this is how it's going to fall out
probably some more drastic attempts on life/etc, maybe a dark secret concerning someone being wronged or slighted, and some profound declarations of love. oh yeah, the bride will probably be at least pregnant (if not a jump in time to show her now a mother) by the end of the story and they'll live happily ever after now that he's no longer being poisoned regulary.
though i have to say, out of this boxed set i'm reading for review, this is SO MUCH BETTER than the last few. plot is incredibly transparent to me, but the writing is decent, and as far as premises go, i've come across far worse.

Need a quote for a project, just want to drop in and talk through your requirements over a coffee?
More than 120 professionals came to share their visions on how technological innovations will reshape the mortgage industry in the future and significantly improve the overall user-experience of lenders, brokers and - most importantly - customers.
A panel of passionate speakers took the stage to express their visions and share their enthusiasm and insights. We will be looking in detail at 4 of the topics and speakers in this article.
Mortgage lenders and brokers have been grappling with ways to unlock the power of AI and chatbot technology. How can companies use technology to deliver better user-experience and deliver efficiency gains?
How can innovative approaches to data and technology revolutionise the home buying process?
HM Land Registry is working hard on revolutionising the home buying process. Lauren introduced the Digital Street project where they are tackling challenges of buying/selling land and property. 3 proof of concepts have been developed to improve this process: Property Adviser, Instant Mortgage and the Transaction.
Will land registration and conveyancing happen at the tap of a screen is not the question anymore. The question is 'when will this happen?'
HM Land Registry is keen to engage with all technology providers and organise virtual, physical meetups, workshops, hackathons and showcases.
Modern Methods of Construction and Beyond
There are certainly opportunities in improving the mortgage process and funding methods and BSA is approaching it from a different angle. It's no secret that house prices are up and Millenials are not expected to be a generation of homeowners. Paul shocked the audience when he said that the UK is ranked 25th in Europe on the list of owner-occupiers. For 25- to 34-year-olds earning between £22,200 and £30,600 per year, home ownership fell to just 27% in 2016 from 65% two decades ago.
Well designed, high quality and affordable homes utilising offsite construction methods can be the way to meet the ever increasing UK housing demand and soothe the housing crisis.
How technology is transforming the customer experience?
Regarding how people are considering the way they are using and leveraging technology to make their daily life easier, and considering the technologies available in the mortgage industry - robot advice, software services for brokers to use tech to find resources and make communication with the customer easier - there is certainly a place for innovation.
If all the players in the mortgage industry are embracing technology and are working together, the customer experience can be drastically improved.
From his perspective, technology will add value across the value chain by improving quality, giving customers access to new products and offer better pricing. Creating a shareable database would be a significant step forward for the whole industry, rather than sending documents separately.

Until this day, ICPE remains the sole intergovernmental organization headquartered in Slovenia. More than 40 years ago, on 24 April 1974, ICPE was founded as the International Center for Public Enterprises in Developing Countries by the Government of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, following the initiative of the United Nations (UN) and with strong support of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and personal commitment of Academician Mr. Anton Vratuša, PhD, the then Vice-President of the Federal Executive Council of Yugoslavia.
It was a time of enthusiasm, emerging new states in the wake of decolonization and an orientation towards the "New International Economic Order", which would strive to reach fair and economically balanced relations between the "developed" and the "developing" worlds. Strong and efficient public enterprises proved to be one of the key pillars of good governance and building of the economies in the relatively fragile and weak countries of the global "South". ICPE grew on these ideas. Already in 1976, only two years after it was registered as a Yugoslav organization, following the expressed interest of many NAM members, ICPE was transformed officially to an intergovernmental organization of its member states. 30 states and 9 observers were present at the founding conference in March 1976. By the 1980, ICPE had initiated seven successful programs, research, seminars and trainings in the field of public enterprises, some of which were carried out comparatively in several member states and were financially supported by the UN agencies.
ICPE provides training programs for government offices and different public sector institutions, as well as other interested institutions from its member states and beyond. With its vast experience in the field of training and strong connections with different academic, research and business institutions, ICPE is able to provide programs on the most diverse topics.
From 16 to 27 January ICPE organized, in cooperation with the National Institute of Financial Management, Faridabad a two-week International Attachment for 71 participants of the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Financial Management). The participants were accompanied by Dr Brajesh Kumar, Course Director, NIFM and Mr Pijush Mohanta from the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, Government of India.
The aim of the attachment was to present good practices of Financial management in Slovenia and EU, with lectures on topics of Public Finance, Corporate Social Responsibility, Leadership, Contemporary Challenges of Management, Ethics in Auditing, Public Procurement, Non-Tariff Barriers, International Taxation Strategy, Human Rights in Multinational Corporations, Multilateral Trade Systems, Implementation of Monetary Policy in the Eurozone and Public-Private partnerships.
The participants had the opportunity to visit the Port of Koper, Petrol and Thermal Power Plant Šoštanj, where also a presentation was held by the representatives of HSE Group.
Conclusion ceremony was held on 27 January 2017 with the Guest of Honour, H.E. Sarvajit Chakravarti, Ambassador of India graced the valediction with his presence and delivered the certificates of participation to the batch.

A few weeks ago, I learned that my book Hear No Evil: My Story of Innocence, Music, and the Holy Ghost was nominated for an INSPY Award in the "Creative Non-Fiction" category. (Click here to learn about INSPY Awards.)
I must admit, getting nominated did make me smile. I was even tempted to become a little prideful about being nominated. But I resisted. Okay, so I was a wee-bit prideful for like an forty-five minutes. Condemn me. 🙂
But seriously, I am honored to be among the five finalists. So to the panel of judges who read Hear No Evil and then voted for it to be nominated… thank you. The announcement brought a smile to my face and caused me to sin for almost an hour.
AND too… my friend Rachel Held Evans (<-Read her blog–one of my favorites!) was nominated in the same category for her book Evolving in Monkey Town: How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Learned to Ask the Questions! I LOVE Rachel's book–HER FIRST, I might add–so it's cool to see friends being recognized for their talents. Kudos to Rachel.
Other nominees in our category include:
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller
Halfway to Each Other by Susan Pohlman
God Hides in Plain Sight by Dean Nelson
Winners and non-winners (or losers) will be announced on December 13th.

You think now that you want to bring home a penguin. It all sounds like fun and games. Maybe you don't realize how much work is involved in caring for your penguin.
You'll need to get all the right gear and bring it with you everywhere you go.
You'll want to get your superhero cape on when it's meal time.
They have their own TV viewing preferences.
They expect bedtime stories every night.
And they will want to spend lots of time outside playing in the snow.
Annalise, I know you want to bring home a penguin, but these pictures are from 5 years ago. Do you know where our penguin is today? It's sleeping on our middle schooler's bed, and it's the only stuffy that does. This illustrates that the decision to get a penguin is one with long term impacts and should only be considered when you have demonstrated that you are responsible enough to care for others.

Sing Along With OETA and Dad
Oh, nerdy rapture! The voice of BJ Wexler on a Tuesday can only mean one thing! I just realized that it was OETA pledge week!!! Nerdiest of all raptures, There's a Peter Paul and Mary special!!
**As a side note, if you loved A Mighty Wind, these specials are gold. It takes the "mock" out of "mockumentary".**
Peter Paul and Mary music has the same cozy nostalgic effect for me as other 70's kistch. From my mother, avocado green and macrame makes me warm and safe...
**Peter is asking for pledge money and I swear to God, he's about to cry. Good God, throw a bone so the kids can watch Elmo. He just likened the effect of your pledge dollars to the March on Washington!**
...ok, sorry. Safe and warm music is all from my father. I learned to sing all of Mary's parts in this music at 10 or 11, I know too many words to Harry Chapin music and thanks to Dad, I wept openly upon hearing Pete Seeger live at the 2003 Woody Guthrie festival.
There is no point to this post, no conclusion. I am just so glad that this heritage held stronger than my fundy upbringing. Otherwise, this post might be about this.
That and Mary Travers looks creepier and creepier.

As we have seen, crop circles and UFOs are MIDIM (french acronym for Inter-Dimensional Manifestations), by which beings belonging to different dimensions - as has been demonstrated, Elementals in most cases – give thus to the humans signs of their presence. Yet, there are other forms of MIDIM, still regarded today as mysterious phenomena whose origin is unknown. A long non-exhaustive list of them can be given:
Such a list seems very eclectic, yet all such little-known phenomena whose reality has nevertheless been demonstrated, are still unexplained by current science. For each of them, observations have demonstrated that they were operated by a non-human invisible intelligence. That is moreover why several of them have usually led to the assumption of an extraterrestrial origin.

Insight: Linux taskset Command Tutorial For Beginners [ How-To]
taskset command in Linux is used to set or retrieve a process's CPU affinity. CPU affinity is a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given set of CPUs on the system. It can help you to command which CPU core should be used to a run a specific process.
Linux taskset Command Tutorial For Beginners [ How-To]
Synopsis of taskset
taskset [options] mask command [argument]…
taskset [options] -p [mask] pid
- -p, –pid
- operate on an existing PID and not launch a new task
- -c, –cpu-list
- specify a numerical list of processors instead of a bitmask. The list may contain multiple items, separated by comma, and ranges. For example, 0,5,7,9-11.
- -h, –help
- display usage information and exit
- -V, –version
- output version information and exit
If you want taskset to display CPU affinity of an already running specifi process, then you need to run the following command.
taskset -p [PID]
PID referes to the ID of the specific process whose CPU affinity you want to obtain:
taskset -p 8564
Here, we are obtaining the CPU affinity of process with the id of 8564. Following is the output:
pid 8564's current affinity mask: f
Above you might see something interesting. There is a hexadecimal value 'f' in above output which means that the specific process can run on any of the 4 processor cores: 0,1,2,3.
Meanwhile, To obtain the ouput in CPU range then execute the following command:
taskset -cp 8564
Following is the output:
pid 8564's current affinity list: 0-3
Let's check another command to assign a range of CPUs while changing affinity. Run the following command to assign a range of CPUs while changing affinity:
taskset -cp 0,2 8564
Following is the output:
pid 8564's current affinity list: 0 pid 8564's new affinity list: 0,2
Now, Command below will show you the method to launch a process with predefined CPU affinity:
taskset 0xa firefox
