India vs England: Alastair Cook left exhausted after First Test but feeling very positive about the next five weeks
England have had their critics since their dismal show against Bangladesh but their is a shining light with teenage sensation Haseeb Hameed breaking through the ranks
ALASTAIR COOK has never felt more tired after a match, misses his new daughter and admits he was outshone by a 19-year-old novice.
Yet, far from feeling fed up, England's captain exuded a warm glow of satisfaction and genuine excitement at what the next five weeks could bring.
Cook, 31, was thrilled by his side's performance in the First Test as they confounded the doom merchants who predicted a 5-0 whitewash.
And the man himself scored 130 — a 30th Test century that elevates him among the game's elite — despite being well short of his best.
England dominated the opening skirmish against the world's No 1-ranked team and Indian skipper Virat Kohli was reduced to time-wasting to ensure England did not win.
In the end, England could only capture six of the ten wickets required to force victory but they bossed the game over five days.
On this evidence, a series win is not impossible.
Cook said: "I'm absolute shattered. It's bloody hard work, I can tell you, and I've not been sleeping that well.
"I've sacrificed a bit to come out here.
"Leaving home for two months after seeing our daughter Isobel for just 18 hours wasn't easy. So I wanted to try to make it worthwhile and score a few runs.
"Haseeb Hameed is an unbelievable player.
"He was pushing me close to retirement when we walked off on Saturday!
"A 19-year-old not only out-batted me but scored quicker and made it look easier than me. So that was a bit of a down-to-earth moment! He's a find, isn't he?"
After being routed in a single session by Bangladesh's spinners two weeks ago, many feared England would be swept aside in this series.

Rich ListMan Utd have the biggest wage bill in world football, with players on average of £5.77m a year
But four of the top six batsmen made centuries and Hameed announced his arrival as a batsman of true potential.
Adil Rashid enjoyed his best game in Test cricket, the seamers were miserly and the other spinners did not suffer by comparison with India's much-heralded twirly men.
Cook's 30th Test ton took him past the total of legendary Aussie Don Bradman — though he has played 84 more matches — while Hameed failed by 18 runs to become the first teenager to reach three figures for England.
Hameed's innings is still the highest score by a teen for England — beating the 74 by Jack Crawford against South Africa in Cape Town back in 1906.
The stand between Hameed and Cook was England's best for the first wicket in India, overhauling the 178 compiled by Graeme Fowler and Tim Robinson in Chennai in 1985.
It was Cook's fifth Test century in India, a feat achieved by no other overseas batsman, and he passed 1,000 runs in a calendar year for the first time. His nine Test centuries in Asia is also a record.
India were set 310 in what turned out to be 52 overs and had various wobbles before Kohli piloted them to safety.
Cook added: "This was a brilliant performance all round — especially from our three spinners who came in for a lot of criticism in Bangladesh.
"No-one spoke of us having a chance in this series but the way we played showed we're in there. We have to rest up well.
"I'm feeling fairly jaded and I think the lads are — doing 160 overs in the dirt in India's first innings to keep their total below ours was fairly brutal.
"We got ourselves in a position to force a result on day five. It's disappointing not to get over the line but it was a great Test and everyone can be proud.
"I said at the start of the tour we've some very talented players. Ben Stokes, Mo Ali and Joe Root are world-class. Stokes is a golden player. Now we must do it again."

Its overall score has increased by 0.5 point, with higher scores for investment freedom and labor freedom offsetting a sharp decline in fiscal health. Cameroon is ranked 29th among 47 countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, and its overall score is below the regional and world averages. A difficult business environment and the existence of a large informal economy hinder diversification of the formal economy. Other problems include an inefficient and top-heavy civil service, poor infrastructure, endemic corruption, and continuing inefficiencies of a large parastatal system in key sectors. Restrictions on trade through nontariff barriers raise costs. Weak rule of law fails to stem the corruption that erodes incentives for long-term economic expansion. More comprehensive and sustained economic reforms, including increased budget transparency and privatization of state-owned enterprises, are needed urgently. Read more about Cameroon Economy. Close Background Former French and British colonies merged in the 1960s to form Cameroon. President Paul Biya, now 85 years old, is Africa's second-longest-ruling head of state. He abolished term limits in 2008 and went on to win seven-year terms of office in 2011 and again in 2018 in elections marred by irregularities. Tensions between the Anglophone minority and the central government erupted into violence with atrocities reportedly committed by both sides. The Islamist terrorist Boko Haram movement frequently attacks across Cameroon's 1,230-mile border with Nigeria. The economy depends on oil for about 40 percent of export earnings. Cameroon is building Central Africa's only deep-sea port in Kribi, financed primarily by China's Export–Import Bank, and is expanding hydropower generation.

years ago ………….
accidentally fell into the Candy Kingdom and brought chaos into Mr. Toffee's
orderly world. He became her adopted father and has been the beloved
mayor of Candy Town for as long as anyone can remember. His unmatched passion
for Candy matching means he has little tolerance for chaos and
inefficiency. And thus began the story behind Candy Crush Saga.
many years later, after being in the Candy Kingdom, she has become such a
mischievous ball of enthusiasm. Although she eventually wants to get home,
she's happy to stick around for adventure, exploration, and, of course,
so, Candy Crush Friends Saga begins..................
new adventure takes her back to Candy Town where she will meet up with
some of her old friends, and some are new.
Meet Jean-Luc! He makes a few appearances in Candy Crush Saga. He meets up with Tiffi in Eggnog Emporium and he is upset because his jaw is broken. Tiffi to the rescue! She fixes his jaw with some sugarplum magic. He reappears in the Precious Pond episode. However, his clothes are pink instead of blue. When he is next seen in the Kooky Kingdom episode, his hat got torn during the play, and Tiffi fixes it with her candy sewing kit. He loves to spread joy via the rooftops, but one house has no chimney to stuff presents in. So, once again he needs Tiffi's help. She whips up a chocolate chimney to plant on the empty roof. He reappears a couple more times in the game but then he's gone until he reappears in Candy Crush Friends Saga.
name has now been changed to the Nutcracker.
He wants you to know that he was a member of a Christmas toy set before
he fell into the Candy Kingdom. He believes he's been taken prisoner in this
strange world, but since he met Tiffi, he's not so sure he wants to go back
home. The Nutcracker loves to toot on his trumpet.
Match 10 blue Candies, and he'll play a few notes just for you! When he does, his sweet tune can attack up to 5 blockers in a horizontal line. He even deals double damage to Caramel Cups! However, if there are no caramel cups on the board, he will remove up to 5 random candies especially the upper part of the board.

Miami, FL – April 4, 2019 – International famed artist Juan Luis Guerra will be honored with a Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his outstanding 35-year career at the 2019 Billboard Latin Music Awards. The exciting event will broadcast live on Telemundo Thursday, April 25 at 8pm/7c from Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The prestigious show will also air simultaneously on Spanish-language entertainment cable network, Universo, and throughout the Americas via Telemundo Internacional. Tickets to the event are now on sale at AXS.com, the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino box offices or by calling (702) 632-7777.
While the Billboard Latin Music Awards are given out based solely on chart performance, every year Billboard, together with Telemundo, also bestows its Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award to an artist with an enduring and exceptional career, who has expanded the reach of Latin music, whose contributions go beyond music and whose influence has had a major impact on Latin music worldwide. Past recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award include Carlos Santana, Jose José, Marco Antonio Solis, Maná and Ricardo Arjona, among others.
Regarding this great honor, Juan Luis Guerra said "It's a great privilege for me to receive this recognition from the Billboard Latin Music Awards. I'm grateful for the continuous support that I've received, which has blessed me with the opportunity to do what I love during these 35 years of my career. It fills me with joy every time I get to be present in front of all of you."
Known as a producer, singer, composer, songwriter and all-around musician, Guerra is one of the most recognizable and award-winning names in Latin music, who throughout his admired artistic career has launched 15 successful albums and sold over 30 million records worldwide, winning multiple awards throughout his career. Along with his Band 440 (or 4-40), named after the standard pitch of "A" (440 cycles per second), Guerra produced music that combined merengue and Afro-Latin fusion styles to form a sound unique to Guerra. From an early age, he showed special interest in music and guitar. With his musical vocation reaffirmed, he studied Guitar and Musical Theory at Santo Domingo's National Conservatory of Music. Later, he decided to travel to the United States to enroll in Berklee College of Music in Boston, the same university that presented him with honorary Doctor of Music degrees years later.
Guerra has 42 titles on the Hot Latin Songs chart, six of which hit No. 1, including the chart toppers "La Llave de Mi Corazón" which reigned for four weeks in 2007 and his featured role on Enrique Iglesias' "Cuando Me Enamoro," featuring Juan Luis Guerra which led for 17 non-consecutive weeks in 2010. He also scored 27 titles on the Latin Airplay chart, six of which went No. 1, including "La Llave de Mi Corazón" which reigned for four weeks in 2007, "Cuando Me Enamoro," which ruled for 17 nonconsecutive weeks in 2010 and "Tus Besos" which topped the list for seven consecutive weeks in 2014. On the Tropical Songs airplay, he's charted 26 titles, 11 of which went No. 1, including the hits "Las Avispas" which ruled for 10 nonconsecutive weeks in 2004 and "Bachata en Fukuoka" which reigned for eight consecutive weeks in 2010. On the albums end, he charted 15 hits on the Top Latin Albums Chart, three of which went No. 1, including La Llave de Mi Corazón (2007), A Son De Guerra Tour (2013) which topped the chart for six weeks, and Todo Tiene Su Hora (2014) and 18 hits on the Tropical Albums chart, seven of which topped the list, including the smash Bachata Rosa, which ruled for 12 non-consecutive weeks in 1991, Para Ti, which led the tally for seven consecutive weeks in 2004, and A Son de Guerra, which reigned for nine non-consecutive weeks in 2010.
During his prolific musical career, Juan Luis Guerra has won multiple awards. The Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Science named him "Person of The Year" in recognition of his valuable contribution to Latin music and his excellent musical trajectory. In 2005, Guerra received Billboard magazine's Spirit of Hope Award for the charitable outreach work of his Juan Luis Guerra Foundation, which quietly provides assistance for disadvantaged Dominican families with medical needs.
Guerra returns to the musical scene tomorrow, Friday, April 5, with his new and much awaited single "Kitipun," from his upcoming studio album that will soon launch worldwide.

Budget 2018 - 5 Tax Takeaways
The pre-Brexit Budget 2018 seemed very much to be a "wait and see" budget, with many decisions deferred until 2020.

Budget 2018 – More Bad News For Scottish Taxpayers And Landlords
Philip Hammond's early budget yesterday contained a number of measures which will impact on individuals, however two in particular stood out.
Firstly, the personal allowance will rise to £12,500 in 2019/20. This is brought forward from 2020/21 and will impact on Scottish taxpayers as the personal allowance is still a reserved matter. However, the UK higher rate threshold will rise to £50,000, from its current £46,350. Scottish tax payers will not gain from this as this threshold is devolved with the current higher rate threshold in Scotland being £43,430.
Could new data breach laws be set to impact on corporate Scotland?
The financial risk for business presented by serious data breaches is now even more apparent due to the recent Court of Appeal decision against supermarket chain Morrisons.The issue will have particular relevance in Scotland in the coming months because of a new group action mechanism which is designed to make it easier to bring group claims like the Morrisons one.

Every year OLP holds a school fundraiser to aid the campus. The funds go towards renovations on our campus to make it an even better learning environment for the students, aid our teachers and counselors, along with providing us with Cutting-edge technology. This exciting fundraiser also inspires a bit of competition between the classes by offering exciting prizes to get students involved such as a class Foam Party. You might be wondering, what exactly is all our money going towards? All in for OLP in the past has raised money to buy new furniture for our classrooms and help upgrade the Event Center floor as well as the weight room. It has also allowed for new renovations for Carondelet Halland helped improve our campus security. Not to mention the creation of new athletic teams such as water polo, equestrian, and archery. Essentially all the money we raise benefits us and the many generations of OLP girls to come. We are excited to see what this year's fundraiser does for our wonderful campus.I sat with Nicole Bruno '19 and asked her what giving to All in for OLP meant to her. She responded: "I donate to school fundraisers such as All in for OLP because I believe in the power of our education here at OLP, and love to give back to the wonderful community that cultivates it. As a result, actively participating in All in for OLP is a vital aspect of our development as students."
What everyone is most excited about participating for is the amazing prizes OLP will be giving to the classes this year. When students donate $25 or more, not only do they get their very own All in for OLP shirt, their name is also entered in a raffle where they can win prizes ranging from gifts cards to Miss OLP tickets. The class prize for the class that raises the most money and has 100% participation is a FOAM PARTY! Not only do you get to spend a couple hours with your friends in a foam pit, you are also provided with delicious food and the chance to miss your last block of the day.
The drive to participate and win the foam party is infectious! Girls run around the school trying to find every penny they can to donate towards their class and boost up their total. Friends everywhere donate for other friends who forgot to bring their money, students are seen digging through their backpack to find the any loose change they can find in order to win that amazing prize for their class. There's nothing like a little friendly competition between the classes to get students to start donating. And last but not least if the entire school gets 100% participation, they are rewarded with an extra day off during Thanksgiving break. Although we love these sweet prizes, this fundraiser is to help our lovely school

Blush Response
Jim Hate
The intention behind blush response is to always push the limits of sound, structure, and perception, creating a modern version of what he perceives industrial music to be: brutal, inventive, uncompromising and always innovative. Throbbing Gristle, Surgeon or Front 242 have left audible traces in his sound, and his goal is to recapture the core spirit of these originators and then to evolve it even further. Performing on hardware synthesizers is a big part of the essence of Blush Response. His approach is very 'hands on' and thus 90% of the changes you hear on his sounds are done by hand without any automation. Blush believes in performative gestures over cut and paste editing, and strives to explore the limits of human-machine interactions. His live performances are 100% improvised and mostly unplanned which includes mistakes and happy accidents, and this philosophy is also reflected in his studio work.
Blush Response's music is characterized by a heavy approach to sound design, combining rough, glitch-heavy beats with thick, distorted synths. Pounding, head-tripping kick drums intermix with abrasive, dark sequences generating huge walls of cavernous sonics. A pulsating slice of straightforward noise-filtered techno with a good dose of industrial and EBM influences while blush's improvising skills enable a sound that blurs the lines between these genres. A barely tamed beast, biting and piercing holes in eardrums and somehow magically managing to make your feet tap along or, at considerable volume, rave.
Based in Berlin since 2011 & hailing from Hamburg, Viscerale found her passion for the dancefloor and in selecting music for the right moment since her early teens. Driven by strong emotions and moved by fast, hypnotic & disturbing sounds, her sets can vary in noisy experimental/industrial/emotional Techno and transform into early 90's Gabber and Hard Trance. 140 bpm upwards is definitely her comfort zone!
Wrong is Prague-based DJ/promoters collective and label focused on various styles of hard contemporary club sound (techno/EBM/industrial/noise/hardcore/weird).

Audit for the Yasuní
Sign the petition
|UN Launches Sustainability Initiative To Save Ecuador's Yasuni Forest
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) today announced it is now accepting donations of all sizes to its trust fund to preserve in perpetuity a vital section of Ecuador's Yasuni National Park in the Amazon rainforest.
Underneath the forest lie nearly one billion barrels of oil and the funds would help prevent the region from being drilled. The trust, which is part of the Yasuni-ITT (Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini)Initiative, was previously only open to governments and corporations pledging over $100,000. Now, individuals and businesses wishing to contribute amounts as small as $25 may become involved in this effort to save one of the world's natural treasures that is home to an incomparable number of species.
Yasuni is one of the only sections of the Amazon where life was virtually unaffected by the last Ice Age. The region teems with "unparalleled levels of amphibian, bird, mammal, insect, and plant life, in addition to indigenous tribes living in voluntary seclusion", the UN said.
It highlighted that it is one of the world's most pristine reserves, and could hold untold medical and scientific discoveries. One hectare of land there contains more species of trees than in all of North America.
"Extending this effort to private citizens who want to get involved at any level not only helps raise more money to protect this sacred land, but also raises awareness of how important Yasuni is to our world. People care deeply about the protection of Yasuni, and want to contribute whatever they can. Ultimately, increased small-donation participation helps us galvanize support and spread the word", said actress Bo Derek, Goodwill Ambassador appointed by President Correa to the Yasuni-ITT Initiative.
For a few years the Ecuatorian government has been under pressure to start exploring oil underneath Yasuni's Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini fields as it could generate an export revenue of $7.2bn. One third of the country's population lives under the poverty line and the oil revenue could provide a financial boost to those people. But neither the people nor the government are willing to dance to the 'drill, baby, drill' chant.
In 2006, Ecuador chose to forego half of the estimated $7.2 billion in renevue. The alternative path chosen was to appeal to the international community to help recoup the other half of the lost potential profits that selling the oil would bring in.
That's where UNDP came in. In 2010 it agreed with the plan and partnered with Ecuador to establish the fund through which to administer the fundraising. The raised funds will go towards investment in sustainable, alternative energy, with a view to steer the country away from oil dependence. The funds will also go towards social programs in Ecuador and building infrastructure such as hospitals and schools.
"Meeting the fundraising goal of $100 million by the end of the year will indicate whether or not the project is viable and if the international community is vested enough in preserving this untouched ecosystem", UNDP said.

Common Side Effects of Niaspan
Niaspan has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, side effects in a group of people taking the medicine are documented and then compared to side effects that occur in a similar group of people not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they occur, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
Based on these studies, the most common side effect of Niaspan is flushing (warmth, redness, itching, and/or tingling) of the face and neck. This side effect was also commonly accompanied with dizziness and lightheadedness. In clinical trials, flushing episodes were seen in as many as 88 percent of people taking Niaspan, and it was the most common reason why people stopped taking the medication.
Other common Niaspan side effects include:
- Flushing of the face and neck -- up to 88 percent
- Headache -- up to 11 percent
- Diarrhea -- up to 8 percent
- Nausea and vomiting -- up to 8 percent
- Stomach pain -- up to 5 percent
- Indigestion or heartburn -- up to 5 percent
- Generalized pain -- up to 5 percent
- Runny nose -- up to 5 percent
- Rash and itching -- up to 5 percent.
Side Effects to ReportSome side effects with Niaspan, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These include but are not limited to:
- Unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you have a fever or feel ill

2 May 2017
Two USC Mechanical Engineering students have travelled to remote villages in Nepal and India to see how 'simple' engineering solutions can make a powerful difference to those living in developing communities.
Emily Echarri, 22, and Nick Jays, 21, recently returned from 15-day field trips as part of the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Design Summit, which provides students with experiences in humanitarian engineering.
Emily, who travelled to India, and Nick, who travelled to Nepal, were among groups of about 40 Australian students who engaged in workshops, community homestays and a design challenge to help overcome challenges identified by remote villagers.
The final-year students had their interest in humanitarian engineering sparked by participating in several other EWB projects facilitated by USC during their degrees.
Their travels were aided by funding from the Rotary Club of Nambour.
Emily said working with residents of a small village in the Tamil Nadu region to find design solutions to local problems had been a highlight of her trip.
"In interviewing the locals, we found out that the women were using their saris as pouches to collect fruit and vegetables in the fields, and this wasn't very efficient," she said. "It was also a problem for the younger women, who are starting to wear more Western clothing.
"My team and I came up with the 'belt bag' – it was a simple, adaptable device made from rope and rice bags that they could attach to themselves to collect produce.
"We showed the villagers the device at a presentation, and the response was incredible. It opened my eyes to how really simple engineering solutions can make a huge difference."
Nick worked in a community in the Tindobate region of Nepal, and said the program gave him a greater appreciation for how design solutions could be used in a humanitarian setting.
"We learnt a lot about designing with appropriate technology using a human-centred approach," he said. "The solutions engineers come up with need to be simple and manageable at the local level, and empower the communities.
"It was great to discover more about how the skills and knowledge I've built up in my engineering degree could make a positive impact."

Originally, I imagined writing a single article describing blockchain's disruptive potential. As I delved deeper into this digital frontier, it became apparent that I needed three articles to do the topic justice:
- the first (available here) to explore the principles of blockchain technology
- a second (this article) to describe the enablers of the technology; and
- a third and final (available here) to survey the current and future blockchain landscape in the Australian wealth management industry.
Previously, in part 1 of this series, we saw that the principles underpinning blockchain revolve around embedding trust within transfers of information and removing the need for trusted third party authorities. These principles have the potential to enable new exchanges of value and deliver efficiencies to many layers of the Australian wealth management industry.
Lets now translate this all into something tangible and answer the question that everyone starts to ask once they finally understand these concepts:
"How can I actually see or experience the blockchain with my own eyes?"
This is the question that stops most people and most companies from exploring blockchain more deeply than a cursory review of the concepts and technology. My empirical experience suggests there's three pillars to the blockchain ecosystem that inform most people's understanding of the technology:
- transacting on a public blockchain (the Bitcoin path)
- building or using a private blockchain (the Ripple path)
- coding a smart contract (the Ethereum path).
Lets examine each of these pillars individually.
The alpha – Bitcoin's public blockchain
The original and most famous expression of blockchain technology, Bitcoin is an open source peer-to-peer currency. Bitcoin operates on a public blockchain which means anyone is able to connect to the network, make transactions on the network, participate in the consensus process and read the database. Bitcoin has the largest number of network participants, the most distributed available computer processing power and therefore the lowest long-term probability of malicious participants causing systemic failures (e.g. forking and 51% attacks explained further in the notes below).
By connecting to the Bitcoin network (usually through a Bitcoin wallet provider) and making a Bitcoin transaction, an individual or company gets its first taste of blockchain technology in action. The majority of blockchain usage today comes from Bitcoin (or similar digital currency) transactions. The downside to the dominance of Bitcoin lies in the negative publicity that has been associated with it (examples such as Silk Road and Mt Gox are detailed in the notes below). However, it should be noted that the ability to execute illegal transactions with Bitcoin presents no greater inherent risk than the ability for physical currency to be laundered or used for illegal activities.
Interest in blockchain technology has grown rapidly despite the controversies associated with Bitcoin. However, banks and other large financial companies have been less enthused by the open source and egalitarian nature of a public blockchain.
The delta – Ripple's private blockchain
The drawbacks of public blockchains have spurred the development of a different beast, the private blockchain where access to the underlying network is more tightly controlled and the ability to modify or even read the database is restricted to a smaller number of users. Private blockchains still confer benefits of decentralisation and authenticity but at the cost of re-introducing a network controller or intermediary that users must first authenticate with before they can participate in the consensus process.
Ripple represents the most widely used private blockchain and was developed as a competitor to the SWIFT protocol of international monetary transfer. Ripple harkens back to an ancient value transfer system (Hawala) which enabled money transfer to occur over large distances without the physical exchange of currency, see below:
Source: Ripple Explained: Medieval Banking with a Digital Twist
Ripple extends the Hawala principles further by allowing anything of value to be exchanged through a network of trusted agents transmitting electronic IOUs (in the form of a cryptocurrency called ripples) . The magic of Ripple lies in the algorithmic way it rapidly establishes trust between two counterparties that don't know each other. Ripple does this using a combination of trusted agents, blockchain-based consensus methods between these agents and the use of ripples as a currency of last resort for the network.
Permissioned networks like Ripple appeal to banking institutions due to the additional level of control and security they can introduce. In many ways though, this tendency to introduce greater levels of control can be counter-productive to new blockchain banking entrants because it:
- assumes that blockchain technology has matured to a point where an ideal or universal blockchain protocol has been agreed and can be adopted between banks and similar institutions
- limits the ability for different intermediaries (e.g. non-banks) to participate and influence the development of the private blockchain network
- inhibits the blockchain participants from introducing new customer-focused blockchain innovations beyond the primary purpose of the private blockchain network (which is typically money transfer).
The omega – Ethereum's decentralised platform
Enter, Ethereum – the most comprehensive expression of blockchain technology to date. Ethereum is a decentralised platform that enables individuals or institutions to create and program their own blockchain-based decentralised applications (dApps). Once programmed, these dApps can autonomously execute on the Ethereum network without the potential for manipulation or interference by malicious third parties.
Ethereum unlocks the potential of smart contracts on the blockchain (i.e. contracts written in computer code that are fulfilled without the active involvement of human counterparties). The smart contracts on Ethereum are fuelled by the network currency of choice (ether). Anyone on the Ethereum network that wants to create and run a smart contract or dApp will need to either earn ether (by participating in the consensus process) or buy it. This fabulous infographic describes this all more elegantly than I ever could.
To emphasise how important Ethereum is becoming to the blockchain ecosystem, consider the change in market value of Bitcoin (BTC), Ripple (XRP) and Ether (ETH) respectively. BTC has suffered sharp falls in early 2016, whilst ETH has climbed prodigiously to a market cap of $160m (trailing XRP for the number 2 cryptocurrency position by just $12m).
This rapidly developing importance stems from the fact that Ethereum provides the most comprehensive mechanism to innovate at every layer of the blockchain technology stack, as illustrated below:
Source: Ethereum Blog – On Silos
By examining these layers more closely, through Ethereum, we begin to understand more deeply how the evolution of blockchain parallels the development of the internet. Namely, that the potential applications of blockchain may be manifest but the technology won't be meaningful until:
- there is wide-scale adoption and acceptance of its underlying principles
- there are new human-centered experiences that blockchain makes possible.
Pillars or principles?
This isn't the case of which model will win. Each of these blockchain pillars (and their many variants) are underpinned by the same principle of trust through consensus. These pillars should be viewed through the same lense as the internet was viewed whilst it developed. The principles of the internet were only fully realised over time, as many disparate and private intranets connected with each other to form a truly global internet.
Taking this comparison further,
whilst the internet created a global network of connectivity, the blockchain will create a global network of trust.
In the third (and final) part of this article I'll detail some human-centered experiences that blockchain will enable for Australian wealth consumers along with surveying the current and future landscape of blockchain technology in the Australian wealth management industry.

Last.fm is a service which tracks (scrobbles) the music you listen to no matter where it is stored or how you listen to it (local files, streaming serivces, YouTube, whatever else). It is also a social network of sorts and you can connect with other people and see what they're listening to, but I'm there primarily because I love to have my music and listening habits gathered, summarized and quantified. My twin calls it OCD, I prefer to think of it as curiosity. Anyhow, just recently, it was her who was showing me some visualizations of her Last.fm library which were pretty cool. She offered to run those same visualizations against my library, too and I was baffled to find out that the data export (which was done via widely spread lastexport.py script whose origin is unknown to me) took forty-five minutes! That's duration of an entire halftime of a football match, mind you. Surely, it could go faster than that?
Lets do some quick maths. Last.fm API imposes rate limit of maximum 5 requests per originating IP address per second, averaged over a 5 minute period. This means that the best execution time we can hope to achieve for retrieval of some 80K scrobbles by making 1600 requests (and if we assume a single request takes about half a second) is 160 seconds, aka just over two and a half minutes. There, we can go from duration of a single halftime to a duration of only the added time at the end of it!
Unnecessary football references aside, and in all seriousness, why not to do it? Since I've stated using Go recently, this was my chance to utilize the awesomeness that are goroutines to speed things up. Goroutines, in brief, can be thought of as lightweight threads. They are functions that run concurrently with other functions and they are very cheap, compared to threads. That's why it is common for Go applications to have thousands of goroutines running concurrently.
I've re-implemented this Last.fm data export in Go, spinning up a goroutine for each HTTP request. I'm doing this in batches of 30 requests, in order to prevent getting rate-limited too often. The result: execution time does indeed go down from forty-five to three minutes. It is not the ideal two and a half minutes we caclulated, and I attribute that to the nature of network where some requests will take longer than half a second and the fact that some reqests are inevitably bound to get blocked and will then have to be resent. All in all - export now works way better than it used to.
I've also also expanded functionality a bit to enable export of your loved tracks, artists you've listened to and tags of your music. You can download the executable from GitHub, or build it for your desired platform directly from source with
go build. Run it simply by passing your Last.fm API key (which you can get here), username and flags specifying which data to fetch. It will then export your data to csv files in your working directory.
lastfmuserexport.exe -key=<LASTFM-API-KEY> -user=<LASTFM-USERNAME> -[scrobbles|loved|artists|tags]
For (slightly) more detailed usage explanation, run
lastfmuserexport.exe -help

Subtitle: Seeking the One Thing That is Needful
Published in 2006. 134 pages.
For as long as I can remember, I've had a love-hate relationship with the brief account of Mary and Martha recorded in Luke 10:38-42. A number of years ago, I heard Camille Fronk Olson speak on the topic and found her insights helpful. I was excited, therefore, to see that she had published an entire book on the topic. Unfortunately, I didn't find the book as helpful as I remember her comments being - perhaps I'm just in a different place at this point. Overall, however, I liked the book and am glad that I read it. I will very likely read parts of it again.

LONDON, UK, 15 April 2009 - WSP Group and Telehouse Europe today announced that Telehouse West, a new £80 million state-of-the-art data centre, will transform generated waste heat into energy for the local Docklands community.
The move will see Telehouse Europe mitigate the carbon footprint of its nine-storey, 19,000 square metre facility - Telehouse West in London's Docklands by exporting waste heat for use in nearby homes and businesses, a move which has received approval from the Greater London Authority.
Telehouse Europe is the first major data centre to gain planning permission in London since stringent sustainability requirements were written into the city's legislation. One of the reasons for the project's approval was the range of innovative green schemes Telehouse and the WSP Group, a London-based international sustainability and engineering consultancy, have put into action.
The partnership will see Telehouse West save up to 1,110 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum and provide up to nine megawatts of power for the local neighbourhood. The energy savings will equate to boiling 3,000 kettles continuously. The disposal of waste heat from cooling systems is one of the most significant sustainability issues associated with data storage. This will be the first time a heat export strategy has been introduced in the UK for this type of data centre facility.
Commenting on the announcement Mr Bob Harris, Technical Services Director of Telehouse Europe, said: "We are very proud of the new £80 million Telehouse West facility, not only will it offer an innovative way to capture and repurpose waste heat, but the facility will also ease the capacity crunch. We recognise that any attempt to address the lack of space within the data centre industry has to be undertaken with a level of environmental awareness. By making good use of the waste heat from the facility, we can minimise the environmental impact of Telehouse West and provide a valuable resource to the local community."
Telehouse Europe's existing data centres in London and Paris were the first purpose-built colocation facilities to gain ISO 14001:2004, the internationally recognised standard for environmental management. Telehouse Operates a robust management framework to deliver continuous improvement in environmental performance - a key issue for the whole data centre industry.
Mr Kieran Rushe of Planning Consultants Dalton Warner Davis said: "This has been one of the fastest projects of this type of complexity from submission to award. At his Stage 2 planning assessment the Mayor recognised that the Telehouse proposal has the potential to mitigate the proposed development's contribution to the urban heat island effect and provide impetus for a district heat network in the area. The GLA said that the agreed solution represents the best possible outcome within the specific constraints of the scheme and accords with the objectives of London Plan policy 4A.6."
Martyn Bishop, Senior Technical Director at WSP Buildings, said: "Our multi-disciplinary team has worked on a solution which integrates various aspects of the new building to reduce its environmental impact considerably. It demonstrates that taking a holistic view pays dividends."
WSP Group prepared a detailed environmental impact assessment for the project and worked on the fire, acoustic, security, transport and VT engineering aspects of the project. FM is the Structural Engineer on the project. MACE is the main contractor for the 19,000 m² building, which is due for completion in 2010.
WSP Group plc is a global design, engineering and management consultancy, specialising in projects for the property, transport and environment sectors. Our 10,000 employees in 35 countries work with clients to create built and natural environments for a sustainable future. www.wspgroup.com
Telehouse Europe offers data centre facilities and connectivity, providing a secure and resilient platform for mission critical IT systems. Established in 1988, Telehouse became Europe's first purpose-built neutral colocation provider. Today, the company is at the heart of the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure, serving over 700 major customers worldwide, from small start-ups to multinationals across a wide range of industries. It is a subsidiary of Japanese corporation KDDI, a Global 300 company and, with its sister company Telehouse America, is able to offer a global network covering Europe, America and Asia.

Hike #91 – Gila National Forest – Burro Mountains – Silby Road
The Louisiana Street Hiker's Club
In a small town, you know most people through 3 different connections. Today's hiking pals are such people. 1) I first met Liz and Joe through the Coldwell Banker office when they had us manage their rentals. 2) When Frank and I bought a triplex on Louisiana Street, we found out that Liz and Joe lived on one side of our building and owned a rental on the other side of our building. We were neighbors, kind of. 3) At the beginning of the year, a friend invited us to dinner and who was there? Liz and Joe!
So when I ran into Liz last week, she expressed interest in joining me on one of my 100 hikes. She is recovering from Hip Replacement surgery and was ready to get back to hiking. Which brings us to today's hike. Although Liz is in great shape (she teaches aerobics and other classes), she wanted her first hike to be fairly level and of easier exertion. I thought the Burro Mountain Homestead area might be in store. We could walk on the road, if necessary, or take one of the many side trail/forest roads. Me, Joe, Liz and Cody packed up the car and headed out.
When we reached Silby Road, we parked and headed out. The road quickly forked onto an old Forest Road, and we chose to head uphill on the smaller FR trail. The landscape was beautiful, with rolling hills, long-range views, interesting boulders and the occasional ranch fence line. I also saw two signs that I've never seen anywhere else: "No Shooting. Occupied Area. 150 Yards". And another that said: "Fire Rescue Route" Those are 2 signs that hold important information! Thank you!
Towards the end of the hike, we ended up back on the road and a nice gentleman hauling a saddled horse stopped for a chat. He gave us some ideas of some cool hikes in the area. Thank you sir! We'll be back again!

Hike #90 – Gila National Forest – FR 4246B
Sheep Corral Canyon Rd – to Forest Road 4246B
The girls and I decided it would be fun to go for a hike and then go to the new Little Toad Creek Inn for lunch. We drove up to Sheep Corral Canyon Rd and walked into the woods to the left – where in the past we've always walked to the right. It was a good climb uphill and then along one of the many ridges. Again it was mostly pine trees and shade. We eventually connect to FR 3131 where my last hike left off. We head down the opposite direction of 3131 and wind up back on Sheep Corral Canyon Road and decide to cross over and head up another trail (876, I think). We quickly run into a man with his dog and then further up we reach the Helicopter Pad and Lookout Point so named for good reason; there are beautiful views to the north.
Along the way we see old building foundations and stairs. It's strange to be in the woods and come across cement stairs just sitting there alone. On the way back to the car we also see a small herd of deer in the distance. They disappeared before we were in camera range. Darn.
After our hike we drove up to the restaurant and have a wonderful lunch – I had the Asian Chicken Salad which was very good. They have many interesting things on the menu that I want to try, so we may have ourselves a new tradition!

Hike #89 – Gila National Forest – FR 4257H to FR 3131
Wednesday, August 22, 2012 – Highway 15 to Mile Marker 16
As I type in "Hike #89" above, I'm tickled that I have 11 left! I keep checking my calendar that I'm on track, and then double checking. The hiker's neuroses (or is that neurosi?).
Sharon and I saw a bunch of side roads off Highway 15 since we've been driving it regularly now. So today we drove to an area that had several side roads – Mile Marker 16 (is that like Area 51???). We see a Forest Service Marker 4257H and head up the hill. There is one road to the left and one to the right. We take the left one which goes upward about 300 yards and then loops directly back onto itself. Alrighty, we'll take the one to the right then. This one goes up and down several ravines and has lots of pine trees and grasses. We pass two stock tanks and start understanding who's using this road the most: ranchers. We laugh at a couple of possible slips in the mud that could have been more dirty than funny; it's been raining regularly for several days.
This trail heads north and eventually come out at Sheep Corral Canyon Road. It is well shaded with many pine trees and tall grasses making it green. There is one area that has huge boulders and one has a pretty sheer cliff face. We decide that we should check it out for Indian activity. But when we walk around it, we realize the rock is somewhat soft and if there were any pictographs, they've sloughed off long ago. On top of the boulder, we see round circular patterns that we think have to do with Indians, but it's hard to tell. What do you think?
On the way back we see many tiny horny toads in the path; the rains must have brought them out. We see about 10 of them!

Hike #88 – Elephant Butte – Cowboy Action Shoot
For the first time in the 12 years that we've lived here, we are visiting Elephant Butte and attending a Cowboy Action Shoot at the range of the our friends, The Monticello Range Riders. While Chico Cheech (aka Frank) tried his hand at the long range lever action rifle targets, I took the dogs in the opposite direction for a hike among the sand dunes (we didn't want to be mistaken for the long distance targets after all!!). We saw a few lizards and had chase on a few jack rabbits – the wild life winning out over lethargic dogs.
We headed out in the direction of the lake and quickly detour off the trail and through the sand dunes. There is very little brush out here and I was humming "tumblin' tumble weeds" (that's Russian Thistle) for much of the way. I was able to take several long range photos of the mountains and lake along the way. Thank goodness there was cloud cover or this one would have been hotter than my liking!
I'm pretty sure this hike was my lowest altitude hike coming in at 4515.

Hike #87 – Sheep Corral Canyon Rd – side trails – Gila National Forest
August 14, 2012 – FR 4247L and trails around it
Sharon, Cody and I drove up Highway 15 to Sheep Corral Canyon Rd and drove back about 4.2 miles. We hiked from there in a combination of road, trail and old wagon roads. Sharon really liked the landscape which was mostly hilly with many ponderosa pine trees. There was also some thorny bugger of a bush that I'm still carving out of my calf. We came across a few ravines, many downed trees that are ready for firewood harvesting, one old gnarly tree that resembled a door for forest elves, and several beautiful long-range views. When we got back to the car, we decided to drive farther up the main road "just to see" what was up there. We came across a man on horseback with 2 dogs – sure looked like a cowboy doing his 9-5 to me!
There are many beautiful trails and road to explore up this road and I look forward to doing more in the near future!
As my challenge winds down – only 13 more to go – I am thinking about what's next. I definitely enjoy a challenge and would like to do another one, although not the same one. I'm thinking about two options. 1) A "500 Mile Challenge" that could include: walking, hiking and bicycling. This would involve about 10 miles a week. I also would want to be allowed to duplicate locations. 2) The other challenge I'm thinking of is "100 Walks in a Year" which consists of hikes and walking on black top and cement. I could walk around town, walk to Tyrone from my house, etc. I think a 2 hour time minimum would be appropriate. Anybody have any suggestions or preferences?

Hike #86 – CD Trail from Highway 15 to Webb Gulch
August 7, 2012 – Happy Birthday, Kristen!
Our through hike today took a little coordinating. Sharon's husband drove us to our access point for the CD Trail on Highway 15 – just past the Arrastra site. Frank planned to pick us up between 1-3 at the Jones' house. Our plan was to hike the Continental Divide Trail from Highway 15 to our friend's house off of Webb Gulch; we estimated it was approximately 6-8 miles.
This trail is a beauty as you walk through tall pines and creeks, on old roads, and then come up to views of the monastery and the Gila National Forest. It has a lot of up and downs, which didn't bother me yesterday, but my legs do feel it today. We also saw evidence of old mining activity, bear scat and a turkey that had a VERY bad day recently. Later, when our friends mentioned that they had mountain lion activity in the area, we think we know what happened to that turkey!
We had many views of "Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery". They have quite an operation up there; we saw gardens, barns, a large water tank and several other buildings. The trail came around to the north of their property and then swung down to the south so we really did see much of their beautiful set-up.
This portion of the CD Trail is maintained by Bob G. who lives in the area. The trail is made up of old roads and trails and is well marked.
I was a little concerned about locating the spot where we turn off to get to the Jones'. I had been there on June 3rd with Vicki and thought I would remember the trail. When we got in the area, sure enough, I saw the turn off and we headed up a slope. Soon we came to a fence and newer looking gate, but it didn't look familiar and I felt like we were off course. I called Margaret and we soon had neighbor Bob on his ATV to guide us back. Frank and Jim were even saddled up ready to come to show us the way. Luckily, we huffed and puffed up the last hill to their house before they headed out. In looking back, I made the call too soon. It was only 12:30 in the afternoon; I could see their house marked on my GPS. If we knocked around some more up there, we would have found the hidden trail and gotten to them easily. {I learned that it's very hard to get directions from someone when you're out in the woods. How do you describe where you are? "I'm at a fence with a lot of trees around it"?????} A second option was to stay on the CD Trail and take it to FR 506 which connects to their road.
Once we were back on track, we were able to check out "Tin Town", an old mining enclave, which I describe in my June 3rd post (hike #63).
The map that is included in the photos shows most of our trip; it's the line in red. We went from the eastern most part to the spot where is says 'Water'.
All in all, it was a great hike that I look forward to doing again!

Hike #85 – Sheep Corral Canyon – Trail #231; Gila National Forest
A.K.A. Hot and Sweaty!
Sheep Corral Canyon Rd is about 24 miles north of Highway 180 in Silver City.
I have to be honest; summer is my least favorite time of year for hiking. It's hot, sweaty, and sticky {but that won't stop me}. Mary Ann, Dora, Cody and I drove up to Sheep Corral Canyon and parked up a few miles – not to the end. We hiked on Trail 231 for several miles and enjoyed the shaded mountainsides as we ambled up the trail. This area feels more remote than other trails and we see no one except for two large cows. This was quite up and down and our calves felt it on the way home!
What is it about today that we saw MANY cars on Highway 15 on our way back? Going both north and south! Everybody was out for a drive! We saw cars parked at most of the stops – Signal Peak Rd, the Signal Peak/Tadpole Ridge pull off, the CD Trail pull off – EVERYbody was out today!

Pixar Animation Studios
Written by Daniel Gerson, Robert L. Baird, & Dan Scanlon/Directed by Dan Scanlon/Produced by Kori Rae/Music by Randy Newman
Being an expert scarer providing energy for the community–and looking awfully cool while doing so–has been Mike Wazowski's dream ever since he was the little kid being wowed by how cool the current scarers were. After years of hard work, the young monster has finally gotten into his dream school, Monsters University. Exuberant and studious, Mike plows through his studies, impressing his teachers with his knowledge and technique. But when it comes down to it, he's faced with the hard reality that sometimes enthusiasm and hard work just aren't enough. Another student, James P. Sullivan, seems to be the embodiment of this unfairness as he does well without even trying by relying on natural skill and a reputable family name. But when an unfortunate accident gets both of these two kicked out of the scare program, they are forced to decide: work together, however unpleasant that may be, or fail separately and live miserably for the rest of their lives. . . .
To be honest, Monsters University probably doesn't need my review at all–it's popular enough that most everyone has seen it, with good reason. This movie is classic Pixar: a good solid story about teamwork and friendship, nice visuals, a liberal sprinkling of humor, and nothing too controversial to gum up the works. It's definitely not a serious, thought-provoking story, but it's not supposed to be. More like, it's a fun and funny movie that's appropriate for elementary-school kids, but would also be enjoyable for adults. Probably one of the aspects that stands out most to me is the color; seriously, the entire campus is vivid, and the students are even brighter . . . which could be garish, but is actually rather beautiful. And as is typical with Pixar, the random little observations about people–as magnified through the lens of monsterdom in this case–is both amusing and revealing. I don't really remember the music much even after having seen this twice, which means it's probably not outstanding, but it isn't bad either–it just works with the story enough that the story itself stands out the most. One last note: Monsters University is definitely a prequel to Monsters, Inc., and should be seen after seeing the original . . . if you don't, you'll probably be really confused.

Releasing mini trailers every now and then, the makers of JHMS are giving its audience a treat and some cravings to get more by each passing day.
Starting with a missed catch by out leading lady, the mini trail follows by Harry asking for her name to which our heroine happily answers Sejal….but that is not it. She goes on to give an explanation of her meaning and is interrupted by Harry convincing her that Sejal is enough for her to be called by him. oh and the action put in by Anushka, later mimicked by SRK is what makes the trail extra hilarious for us. What is even more refreshing is the background score of the trailer. This one, is our personal favorite amongst the lot. Have a look.

text: As we have got closer to seeing the start of drilling at Tinker lane the Community Liaison Group (CLG) have been receiving more questions from local folk as to what is happening, why it is happening and how it might affect us. These questions, if we do not already have the answers are promptly referred back to the developer IGas, who to date have responded in a timely fashion. If as the project proceeds you find you have new questions then contact your Parish representative on the CLG or if you prefer use the contact form on this website. Should you wish to see the Exploratory Well Site (from outside of the compound) we will happily accompany you to the gate, if you are on your own it can be quite daunting! Meanwhile check out the posts on the website and keep an eye on the minutes of the CLG meetings, links to the minutes are in the sidebar.
