Stellar Development Foundation Announces Strategic Investment in DSTOQ
Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) announces the closing of a strategic investment in DSTOQ Group AG. The investment of $715K, paid in lumens, is the first made by SDF through their new Enterprise Fund. DSTOQ, a Liechtenstein-based FinTech company, helps make investing accessible and affordable for people in emerging markets, through a borderless digital interface for security tokens built on the Stellar network, a global, decentralized open source blockchain. Through the DSTOQ interface, users have easier access to blue chip shares, such as Tesla or Amazon, as well as bonds, indices and commodities using fiat or cryptocurrencies.
DSTOQ's first market will be Vietnam, followed by South Africa and other African, South American, and Asian developing countries. DSTOQ users require only a smartphone to access global financial markets, which thanks to Stellar's infrastructure layer, makes the entire process not only more accessible but also more efficient.
About the investment, Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), said: "At SDF, we seek to unlock the world's economic potential by making money more fluid, markets more open, and people more empowered. DSTOQ's sharp focus on cross-border investing and their unique approach to helping people in emerging markets to gain access to investment opportunities abroad speaks directly to our mission at SDF. Together, we hope to improve the lives of millions of people while simultaneously creating exciting new business opportunities."
Craig Mc Gregor, CEO and co-founder of DSTOQ, said, "We are grateful for SDF's vote of confidence and continued support towards our shared vision of building and improving the global financial system. Together, DSTOQ and SDF aim to improve financial inclusion in markets that desperately need better access to global products. For too long these markets have been ignored – we look forward to changing that with this exciting technology."
DSTOQ made the strategic decision to use blockchain technology in the development of its architecture due to some unique properties that benefit their business model. For example, Stellar enables the tokenization of assets, such as shares of Apple, in a far more efficient manner that allows users in emerging markets to invest at a fraction of what it would otherwise cost. The use of the Stellar blockchain proved to be a game-changing decision for the company, as they mention in their blog.
Jed McCaleb, co-founder and Chief Architect of Stellar, said, "DSTOQ is making markets accessible to new geographies, connecting the world's global infrastructure in an exciting and innovative way. We are really excited to see companies like DSTOQ take the use cases for our technology to the next level."
DSTOQ has focused on the building blocks of an entirely new financial system, developing the technology and partnerships required for its success. In the months to come, DSTOQ will share more insights on these foundational steps, including a new partnership with an innovative European bank with strong ties to Asia.

Dash and Cryptobuyer Announce Partnership to Serve Burger King Venezuela
Dash, the leading cryptocurrency for payments and e-commerce, has announced a new milestone in its partnership with Cryptobuyer, the leading platform to buy and sell cryptocurrencies in Latin America. Through the Cryptobuyer platform, Burger King restaurants in Venezuela will now accept Dash payments. Cryptobuyer's point of sale system has been rolled out as a pilot, initially in Burger King Caracas at the Sambil store, as cryptobuyer and Burger King are aiming to serve all 40 locations nationwide in 2020. This development is the result of receiving significant demand from Dash users and local merchants in Venezuela.
"Dash usage continues growing at a rapid rate in Venezuela, as it provides an alternative that is a more reliable payment method and store of value," said Ryan Taylor, Dash Core Group CEO. "We are happy to collaborate with Cryptobuyer to keep growing the Dash ecosystem and serve Burger King and its customers."
This franchise roll-out marks yet another milestone in Dash's expansion plans in 2019, as Venezuela continues to be a key target market for Dash. Already, around 1,000 verified merchants in Venezuela accept Dash at point of sale.
"The growth of Cryptobuyer in South America, especially in Venezuela, is another example of how this region is ahead of the curve in adopting cryptocurrency as a real method of payment," said Cryptobuyer CEO Jorge Farias."Venezuela portraits a mix of situations that make it a perfect ground to deploy real-world cryptocurrency solutions, such as hyperinflation, cash shortages, deteriorated banking and communication infrastructure. The factors,in conjunction with the government's initiative to use cryptocurrency as a payment method, will push use and adoption of these cutting-edge technologies, and we are really proud to lead this push."
Burger King has been training its teams and stores during the past weeks and will slowly roll out Dash payments into all stores in Venezuela, with plans to also accept the other cryptocurrencies in Cryptobuyer's portfolio.

Korean Government Seeking to Levy Taxes on Cryptocurrency
The government is seeking to impose taxes on capital gains from transaction of virtual currencies, including bitcoin, according government sources, Sunday. The Ministry of Economy and Finance confirmed it is pushing for the measure to be reflected in tax regulations next year.
"Related discussions have been taking place," a ministry official said. "The revised bill will be drawn up by the first half of next year."
A move to pass a related bill has also been taking place at the National Assembly.
A bill on enhancing the transparency of the trading of virtual assets awaits passage at sub-committee level. If the bill passes the Assembly's plenary session, it will go into effect one year after the regulation is promulgated.
The government's is seeking to include capital gains tax on virtual currency regardless of the bill's passage.
But for this to be reflected in regulations, there needs to be a more precise definition of virtual assets.
The government also needs to decide if it will consider gains from the trading of virtual assets as the type of gains coming from stock trading or real estate transactions.
If this is the case, the government needs to obtain trading records from virtual currency exchanges, to be able to levy taxes accordingly.
The bill on trading of virtual assets requires virtual currency exchange operators to identify traders and retain separate records for each trader.
However, unlike share prices the price of virtual currencies varies according to exchange, so it is more complicated to determine market price at the trading point.
BitMEX platform now in Trade-mate.io
Nowadays, the monitoring of all the statistics regarding exchange accounts and the management of all the potential forces that can lead to alterations, crucial data for all the traders, has become more accessible thanks to a well-known platform, called Trade-mate.io.
This platform constitutes the project of a very experienced team with significant contributions in the field of automated systems. In this platform, the traders can carry out exchanges either automatically or manually, and they can use Binance and Poloniex crypto exchanges as well. Other than that, the users can also benefit from the BitMEX trading platform via Trade-made.io, making their life easier.
Trading on BitMEX
BitMEX is a trading platform that provides to his users the ability to participate in the financial market worldwide by using the so-called bitcoins. This platform is the first one where investors are provided with crypto derivatives that give the possibility to execute transactions with a higher profit margin, with leverage up to X100.
Although, because of the emerging technical issues during the implementation of BitMEX via API have prevented many large exchange platforms of adopting it, that didn't dissuade the Trade-mate.io of integrated it, widening its users' potentials even more.
Minimizing the risk of loss
Even though the X100 leverage scenario is very attractive to all the traders, the risk of loss must not be overlooked. Even the most experienced traders are not fully protected from such a great risk ratio, as the price of the triggered order is too close to the elimination zone, which can lead to an X100 loss. On the grounds of that, Trade-mate.io has set an X20 limit at the trading leverage to protect its investors from a great loss of their deposits.
Cross-leverage hides big risks, as it uses all the available funds in an account's balance to cover an open position. If the price is moving in the right direction, the leverage will be reduced as well as the collateral due to the accumulated profit. Albeit, in the case, that the leverage will escalate, as a consequence, there will be a total loss of the initial funds. In other words, when the position is opened and the order is liquidated, the entire balance will be reset.
Because of its highly risky nature, the cross-leverage is not recommended for risk-averse investors. It may be advisable for risk-neutral users, as it offers the ability to calculate again the size of the leverage, which will vary within acceptable values.
Because of its high-risk nature, the Trade-mate.io does not support cross-leverage.
Why use Trade-mate.io platform
One of the most important features of the Trade-mate.io platform is the fact that an order is placed with a take profit and stop loss simultaneously and, they can be altered either automatically or manually, providing to the investor with the opportunity to make Smart Trade functions.
A Smart Trading process consists of two types of orders, the limit order, and the market order. In the first case, an order is placed at the price of interest and when it riches the specified level, the order is activated. In this case, the order is pending. In the case of the market order, the purchase or the sale of an instant market asset is made at that moment.
Trailing mode
The trailing mode is a Smart Trade's function that rearranges the orders based on the specified parameters, allowing the trader to minimize the risk and to increase his profits. Trailing mode consists of three orders:
1. Trailing take profit
In this case, the order parameters change the value of floating take profit and the default setting is 1%. As the price attains the level of the determined take profit, the take profit is being automatically moved to the set value until the price is no longer changing.
2. Trailing stop loss
The difference with taking profit is that, in this case, instead of taking profit, the taking loss is the one that is moved as the price increases and it remains stable when the price is decreased.
3. Trailing ladder
Here, as soon as an order is opened, the take profit and stop loss are triggered concurrently. In more detail, when the price approaches the first level of taking profit, the stop loss is moved to the break-even point. This will continue until the price crosses the stop loss line and the sell is activated.
It should be emphasized that this mode is not included in the BitMEX platform or any other crypto exchange.
Edit a task
In the trade-mate.io platform, the traders are also able to edit the current task without canceling it, unlike with other crypto exchange users where the users are obliged to cancel the old task in order to create a new one.
In the Trade-mate platform, the task can be edited before the order is been activated. The traders are able to cancel the task, to change it in case they want to sell cryptocurrency when the price has reached desirable levels or to average it. By this can be benefit traders dealing with leverage, as once they have created an order, they are able to edit it in the meantime, making the whole process more simple.
Last but not least, in this platform, the traders possess the ability to change even the control panel and to make it comfortable for them to use it. They can move the elements in the control panel and adjust them at the most convenient for them positions by just dragging them around the screen.
Copy on BitMEX
BitMEX gives the opportunity to its traders to copy trades from other trades, the so-called auto trading. In addition, traders who execute successful trading on the crypto market, they receive incomes from the subscribers. That's why Trate-mate.io selects only the traders with the highest ratings in order to guide others. Again, for the safety of its users, the leverage for auto trading will be no more than X5. In this way, liquidating balances are prevented.
Cryptocurrency confirmed by the only stable resource on the planet – ERTC
Each of us is familiar with the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies – someone was mining, someone is earning on a change of course, sellers and a buyer, someone is investing their money and now sits on Corvalola, In all cases when no one uses cryptocurrencies to store all their savings. It is all about high volatility and their extreme instability – it is impossible to accurately predict the course, which can change the order in a short time.
At the same time, cryptocurrencies have all the advantages compared to financial money – additional security, low transaction fees, transfer speed, transparency, reliability and independence from external financial institutions. All this is done in accordance with the format of financial relations, which continues to develop dynamically.
Solutions to problems related to the voluntariness and reliability of the contribution to steel – and cryptocurrencies with a stable exchange rate.
Which resource is the most stable? The most sought after and reliable. Which resource is the patron of all existing resources? The situation and other factors affect the dependence on cataclysms. – This is the land. The Genesis 2.0 group of companies has developed the ERTC platform, which includes:
- ERTCoin – stablecoin, confirmed by legal ownership of land
- Private ERTC blockchain in which any device can be a mobile node
- SmartWallet – an electronic wallet on which ERTCoin and other currencies are stored, all transactions and purchases / sales are also carried out
- ERTCoin with legal confirmation of ownership
- The electronic payment system, which provides mobile communications, provides new opportunities and opportunities for paying for goods and services, converting, saving funds and transactions from anywhere in the world.
The issue takes place on the ERTC platform thanks to the Validation process – the procedural verification of land ownership must be confirmed.
Validation takes place in four stages:
- The user uploads a pool of documents confirming his ownership.
- The legal service and AI verify the authenticity of documents and request data in specialized services.
- ERTCoin according to the number of square meters of land
- The user receives half of the issued ERTC in their electronic wallet
Conference participants from 13 countries have already registered more than a million ERTC platforms.
Today, the ERTC team completed the first two stages and has already begun to conclude the third stage – the development of a full-cycle electronic payment system for individuals and legal entities. lack of.
The possibilities of EPS are not limited when purchasing goods, services, geography of participants, jurisdiction and economy, are not determined by geopolitical factors and are dependent on the right field and legal requirements.
A personal online bank, a private block bank with a unique technological mobile network, all these requirements make it possible to confidently assume that the electronic payment system ERTC is a promising medium-term financial one.
The ERTC project represents full-fledged opportunities for interaction with other states – "money", in which virtually any individuals and legal entities are used — using an electronic payment system. cost of commission, convenient and affordable.
ERTC erases the geographical boundary and makes financial interaction of any level safe and comfortable.

PNC Treasury Management has gone live with RippleNet, becoming the first US bank to process cross border payments for its client using the blockchain platform. RippleNet, which PNC joined in September of 2018, is Ripple's growing, global network that allows financial institutions to process customers' payments anywhere in the world instantly, reliably and cost-effectively.
As the first US bank to process these payments in real-time, PNC offers commercial clients in the US with the ability to receive a payment from an overseas buyer against their invoices instantly, transforming the way they manage their global account receivables and allowing them to better manage their working capital.
RippleNet provides a frictionless experience to send money globally using the power of blockchain within a secure, closed payment infrastructure.
Bitcoin (BTC) has formed a series of higher lows in the past few weeks, which is a positive sign. It shows that bulls are not waiting for the price to fall to strong supports to buy, but are buying a little higher each time. As a result, we find a symmetrical triangle pattern developing on the chart.
The bulls will now attempt to push the price to the downtrend line of the triangle. A breakout of this level will indicate a resumption of the uptrend. Therefore, traders can buy on a breakout and close (UTC time) above the triangle with a stop loss of $9,000. The pattern target is $17,233.92, The rally might face resistance at $13,973.50, but we expect it to be crossed.
Our bullish view will be invalidated if the BTC/USD pair turns down either from the moving averages or from the downtrend line of the triangle and plunges below $9,080. Such a move will indicate selling at higher levels. The next level to watch on the downside is $7,451.63. Both moving averages are flattish and the RSI is just below 50, which shows a balance between buyers and sellers. Hence, we are not proposing a buy at current levels.
Ether (ETH) has broken out of the downtrend line. This shows that selling pressure has reduced in the short term. The bulls will now attempt a recovery, which will pick up momentum on a breakout and close (UTC time) above 20-day EMA.
Aggressive traders can buy on a breakout and close (UTC time) above 20-day EMA and keep a stop loss of $174. The target to watch on the upside is $235.70. There is a minor resistance at the 50-day SMA, but we expect it to be crossed. This is a counter-trend trade, hence, the position size should be kept at 50% of usual.
If the ETH/USD pair fails to ascend the 20-day EMA and turns down, it will retest the recent lows. A breakdown of $174.461 will resume the downtrend and a fall to $150 will be in the cards.
When a breakdown of a critical level fails to pick up momentum, it shows a lack of sellers at lower levels. This increases the probability of a pullback, catching many bears off guard. The failure of bears to capitalize on the breakdown of the $0.27795–$0.24508 support zone is a bullish sign. If buyers can propel XRP above the 20-day EMA and sustain the level, it will indicate strength.
Aggressive traders can buy on a close (UTC time frame) above the 20-day EMA and keep a stop loss of $0.24. If the price sustains above $0.27795, it will re-enter the range. We then expect it to gradually move up to $0.45 in the medium term. However, at current levels, this is a counter-trend trade, hence, we suggest traders keep the position size at about 50% of usual.
On the upside, there might be a minor resistance at the 50-day SMA, but we expect it to be crossed. The short-term target is $0.34229. Contrary to our assumption, if the XRP/USD pair reverses direction from the 20-day EMA and plunges below the yearly low, a drop to $0.19 is possible.
The bulls have successfully defended the trendline of the ascending channel for the past two days, but have failed to propel the price above the 20-day EMA. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is stuck between the trendline of the channel and the moving averages.
A breakout of the moving averages can carry the price to $360, above which we expect the BCH/USD pair to pick up momentum. Conversely, on the downside, if bears break below the neckline of the developing head and shoulders (H&S) pattern, the trend will turn negative. The next support on the downside is at $166.98 and below it, a fall to $105 is possible. We suggest traders wait for the price to break out of $360 before attempting long positions.
Buying when the price is below down-sloping moving averages might result in quick losses because it is difficult to predict the bottom in a downtrend. Though Litecoin (LTC) has held the support at $69.9227 for the past few days, a failure to rebound sharply shows a lack of conviction among buyers.
Unless the LTC/USD pair bounces above the 20-day EMA within the next three to four days, the likelihood of a breakdown below $69.9227 increases. If this support breaks down, the decline can extend to $58. Conversely, a breakout above the downtrend line will be the first sign that the trend is changing. Until then, we suggest traders stay on the sidelines.
Binance Coin (BNB) has held the support at $26.202 for the past two days. However, the lack of a strong bounce suggests that bulls are not aggressively buying at current levels. A breakdown of $26.202 can result in a fall to $24.1709, which is an important support. If this level gives way, the trend will turn negative.
Conversely, if the BNB/USD pair rebounds sharply from current levels, the important resistance to watch is the 50-day SMA, because bulls have not been able to scale this in the past few weeks. A breakout and close (UTC time frame) above the 50-day SMA will signal a probable resumption of the uptrend. The pair might face minor resistance at $32.50, above which a retest of lifetime highs will be in the cards. Traders can wait for the price to sustain above the 50-day SMA before initiating long positions with a stop loss of $26.
EOS again held the support at $3.30 on Aug. 21. This is the third time the support has held since July 16, which makes it a critical level to watch out for. If bulls can now scale above the 20-day EMA, it will increase the probability of a rally to $4.8719.
Nevertheless, if bears defend the 20-day EMA and the EOS/USD pair declines to $3.30 once again, the probability of a breakdown increases. Feeble rebounds from a strong support and repeated retests of the support level within a short span of time show a lack of demand. Below $3.30, the support levels to watch are $2.69 and below it $2.18. We are currently neutral on the pair.
Bitcoin SV (BSV) has been trading between the 20-day EMA and $130 for the past few days. This tight range is unlikely to sustain for long. Soon, we will see an expansion in volatility. If the price breaks out of the downtrend line and the 50-day SMA, a quick move to $188.69 is likely. We might suggest a short-term trade if the price sustains above the downtrend line.
However, if the price breaks down of $123.67, the BSV/USD pair can plunge to $107. This is a critical support to watch on the downside. If it breaks down, the pair will turn negative. As long as the price remains below the downtrend line, we do not find any buying opportunity because it indicates that bears have the upper hand. We will wait for the trend to change before recommending a long position.
Monero (XMR) continues to trade inside the $98.2939–$72 range. The price action inside the range is usually volatile and difficult to call, hence, it is best to either establish a long position on a breakout of the range or wait for the price to correct to the support to buy.
The XMR/USD pair has formed a symmetrical triangle and will make a decisive move after breaking out or breaking down of it. A breakout of the triangle can offer a buying opportunity with a target objective of $120, while a breakdown of the triangle can result in a fall to $60 and lower. Currently, we do not find any reliable buy setups, hence, we suggest traders remain on the sidelines.
Stellar (XLM) is stuck in a tight range of $0.072545–$0.065. While bulls are supporting the price at the lower boundary of the range, bears are defending the upper boundary. After a major breakdown, if the price does not follow through to the downside, it offers a buying opportunity because it indicates a lack of sellers at lower levels.
A breakout and close (UTC time) above the 20-day EMA will be the first sign that markets have rejected the lower levels because the XLM/USD pair has not closed (UTC time) above the 20-day EMA since breaking down of it on June 25.
Therefore, aggressive traders can buy on a close (UTC time frame) above the 20-day EMA and keep the stop loss at $0.065. This is a counter-trend trade, hence, we recommend keeping the position size only about 50% of usual. The first target on the upside will be a move to the 50-day SMA and above it $0.097795.
Conversely, if the XLM/USD pair breaks below $0.065, it will resume the downtrend that can extend to $0.05.

|Grab yours here.
I created this (grammar corrected) with hopes that you will use it in your classroom too. My hope is that perhaps, more children begin to believe in themselves and dream of something bigger.
You see, I teach children who at times are so practical. When asked what they would do with a $100, they answer - they would help their family pay bills or buy food. When asked what they want to do when they grow up, they are unsure; perhaps, work at a fast food restaurant.
I feel it is my responsibility to show and teach them that there is much more "out there" but I can not do that if they do not believe in themselves. I want to allow them the possibility to dream. I say, this because I have been there. If I had not had a dream of something better, I would not have the life I have today. It all begins with a dream.
As a little girl, this song helped me dream.
Okay, enough of the mushy gushy teacher. I hope you grabbed your copy of the quote. Happy Friday! One more week of vacation to go! :)
Happy Learning and Teaching!

Small dog attacked, killed by pit bull
Woman bit by pit bull while walking her dog in North Braddock
A woman walking her dog Monday was bit by a pit bull, and her small dog was viciously attacked and mauled to death.
Sheila White, 57, was walking her Jack Russel terrier on Copeland Avenue in North Braddock. White said she avoided a portion of Copeland Avenue on most of her walks because a pit bull nearby had a violent reputation.
But on Monday she thought the pit bull was in the house with his owner, at 306 Copeland. When she decided to walk past the home, she said the pit bull "came out of nowhere" and leaped onto her thigh, causing four puncture wounds.
Then, according to police, the pit bull lunged for the smaller, 14-pound dog and violently attacked it. Police said the small dog didn't stand a chance for survival.
The pit bull's owner, John Sisko, faced animal related charges on June 4 but has yet to show to court.
For this attack, Sisko will be charged with dog running at large, harboring a dangerous animal and likely will faces charges for not having a dog license or rabies shots on the animal. Each charge, according to police, carries a maximum fine of $300 each.

Late drama left D.C. United despondent on Wednesday night as the Columbus Crew staged a stunning comeback to advance to the U.S. Open Cup final with a 2-1 victory at RFK Stadium.
United took an early lead through Pablo Hernandez, but Marc Burch deflected Andy Iro's shot past Bill Hamid in the 89th minute to send the match to extratime, where Guillermo Barros Schelotto rifled a penalty home for the game-winner on a hot night in the nation's capital.
D.C. striker Danny Allsopp nearly created the game's first goal out of sheer hustle after a mixup between Chad Marshall and Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum in the early going. But United broke through soon after, earning a penalty kick through another bit of dodgy defending by the visitors in the 12th minute.
What should've been a simple clearance out of the Columbus box suddenly wound up at the feet of Pablo Hernandez, who went to ground in the box under a clumsy challenge from Andy Iro, and referee Chris Penso did not hesitate to point to the spot. Hernandez dispatched the penalty himself with a clinical finish into the lower right corner, his third goal of the tournament.
Keyed by Eddie Gaven's energetic runs along the left flank, Columbus responded, carving out several half-chances as targetman Steven Lenhart looped two headers wide of Hamid's net and Schelotto probed the United defense with a few free-kick deliveries.
Yet the game's rhythm soon petered out in the face of some increasingly antagonistic challenges from both sides. Devon McTavish, Dejan Jakovic and even Crew coach Robert Warzycha earned yellow cards as the teams struggled to come to grips with Penso's interpretation of the rules.
Tempers did not ease as the second half unfolded and Penso found himself at the center of the action in the 59th minute. Hernandez tangled with Danny O'Rourke at midfield and kicked out at the Crew defensive midfielder as from a prone position, prompting an enraged O'Rourke to face up to the Argentinean after landing what looked like an angry stomp.
But Penso, under the advice of fourth official Jeff Gontarek, produced a red card for Hernandez and only a yellow for O'Rourke, drawing a cascade of boos from the irate home fans.
Eager to grind down his tiring opponents, Warzycha brought on Dilly Duka and Jason Garey in a double substitution but it was the hard-working Gaven who sniffed out the next chance for his side in the 71st minute. Chasing down a through ball into the D.C. box, Gaven seemed inches away from an equalizer, only to be denied by a massive save from Hamid.
D.C. coach Ben Olsen brought on another defender in the shape of Jordan Graye, pushing Najar further up the field in a lone striker role, and the young Honduran's relentless efforts kept the Crew on the back foot despite their numerical advantage. Najar forced an awkward parry out of Gruenebaum with a knuckling shot in the 79th minute as United did their best to kill off the clock.
Yet they fell one minute short. A high ball into the D.C. box fell for Iro at the edge of the six-yard box and the English-born defender held off Jakovic before poking a low drive that Marc Burch deflected past Hamid into his own net to draw Columbus level in the 89th minute.
United hearts sank, only to flutter seconds later as McTavish collected a long pass and slalomed across the top of the Crew box before slotting an excellent ball into Najar's path, leaving him with only Gruenebaum to beat – but Najar tapped his shot wide right.
That sent the match into overtime, where the visitors monopolized possession and earned a spot kick of their own in the 98th minute. It was created by Lenhart's sterling work along the endline as he maneuvered past Burch and surged deep into the box, where he was tripped by Carey Talley.
Though the sequence ended with a teammate firing his cross into the net, Penso blew for a penalty instead and gave Talley a caution. Schelotto hammered the ensuing PK into the roof of the net for a 2-1 Crew lead.
Warzycha's side were almost home and dry, yet they were fully exposed by yet another counterattack at the end of the first period. Quaranta and Najar combined to present Jakovic with a gilt-edged chance at the far post, but the Canadian blazed his effort over the bar from close range as the crowd groaned.
Extratime sub Jaime Moreno thought he'd earned another penalty after the break when Frankie Hejduk and Duka barged him over in the Crew box following some clever footwork. But Penso waved play on and the Black-and-Red failed to muster any late heroics of their own, sending the Crew on to the final.

(JTA) — Pakistani security officials captured a former terrorist leader who is believed to have planned the 2002 kidnapping and murder of U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl.
Qari Abdul Saeed, also known as Asadullah, was arrested Sunday by the Pakistani Sindh Rangers, according to reports Monday citing unnamed Pakistani officials. He is accused of two decades of terror activity.
Pearl's parents, Judea and Ruth, said in a statement released Monday, "We are gratified with this latest arrest and hope that justice will be served in a timely manner on all of those who were involved in the abduction and murder of our son, Danny."
Pearl, The Wall Street Journal south Asia bureau chief, was researching a story about Islamist militants when he was kidnapped in Karachi in January 2002 and murdered a month later.
His final words as he was about to be beheaded — an act that was captured on camera and widely distributed following his death — were "My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I am Jewish."

On the right are two short, "homemade" videos created by NAE staff that take a humorous look at hypothetical engineers communicating poorly, falling into common traps. At the same time, the videos show how engineers can be inspirational and how they can speak about the profession using the themes and messages here on the Changing the Conversation site.
Engineers generally want to be perceived by the public as members of an important and challenging profession. However, the public often has difficulty understanding what engineers do and in separating out "engineering" from "science" and "technology," and this often leaves engineers frustrated and feeling underappreciated.
This lack of public understanding can be attributed to many things, but in no small part to the words and behaviors of engineers themselves. To us.
Engineers are often passionate about what they do and have the potential to be great ambassadors, but—like scientists—they rarely are trained how to communicate effectively about their work or the overarching ways their profession benefits society. When they do attempt to communicate about engineering, engineers may unintentionally send messages that can be off-putting. They often:
