061016.Nympsfield, Woodchester Mansion Second FloorOctober 17, 2006 at 9:16 PM | Posted in Architecture, Cathedrals and churches, Gloucestershire, Mansion, Nymsfield, Vaults | 1 Comment
Construction stopped on Woodstock in the 1870s due to a variety of reasons. The original occupant for whom the house was constructed was getting old and was warned against living in Woodstock's damp and cold valley would for health concerns.
Anther reason is that construction began following English Catholic Emancipation. Woodstock was first designed by the country's leading Catholic architect (A. W. N. Pugin) and then by the second-best, and so on. The house's purpose was to anchor a new and isolated Catholic community. A convent had already been built and established at the edge of the valled on the same property. Rumor has it that the house was designed as a papal residence for a second Babylonian Captivity, which would have been caused by the turmoil Italian unification was going through during the mid to late 1800s.
I can't imagine an English papacy so soon after Catholic Emancipation. There was an English pope, Adrian IV, but he just didn't cut it.
The chapel design was heavily infuenced by Violet-le-Duc.

A fellow conservationist in the second (really 3rd) floor south wing cooridor windowsill sketching the structural failings brought about by a iron bolt (intended to hold a curtain rod) in the limestone. The metal rusted, expanded, and cracked the otherwise undamage interior stone.
The floor was intended for servants but it really was well-designed. There was little wood on the property but much stone and brick so all the structural aspects of the mansion were carried with stone and brick, sparing lumber as much as possible.
Below are the areas in question:

Took a trip to the incredible Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire today. This is a view of the south east Drawing Room bay window. The house was designed in the late 1850s and 1860s and constructed in the 1870s. Work ceased in the late 1870s and the house has been left as a Victorian Gothic construction site. I will have to write more and post more photos from this incredible site. It's solid stone and brick construction with few floors having been laid down. I got to walk over the vaults! The site is conserved with lottery funds as a teaching center for Masonry Conservationists. Ccertainly it is money well spent but it needs a lot more.
The most likely cause for the abandonment of the site rests in its location at the bottom of an isolated and ever-cold valley. Although I do not know if I can call the mist clouds for this photo, I hope "Zannnie" will appreciate it. The weather cleared up by the afternoon and it was a bright blue sky for the rest of the day. I don't understand English weather, but I understand this place throws an incredible Haunted House for Halloween.

Baltimore's newest designated historic district could soon be the old mill town of Woodberry, depending on the outcome of two upcoming hearings before the city's preservation commission.
Hearing number one is set for tomorrow afternoon at the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation, which meets monthly at 417 E. Fayette St.
Staff preservation planner Walter Gallas said CHAP is formally considering the request after residents voted in a community survey to pursue historic designation. Gallas declined to share the exact margin of the yay-or-nay survey ahead of the meeting, but noted the request "comes with the endorsement of the neighborhood association in hand."
Sheri Higgins, president of the Woodberry Community Association, said via email that designation could help by adding new architectural guidelines and permit processes "to assure continuation of our unique building stock."
CHAP-designated areas, of which there are currently 36, require commissioners to approve any changes to building exteriors. Woodberry is among dozens of areas that have national historic district protection, but that doesn't protect individual buildings from alteration or demolition.
CHAP tried in 2007 to designate Woodberry a historic district, but the effort didn't have sufficient community support to proceed.
This time around, residents are appealing for the designation months after a development team demolished two 1840s stone houses on Clipper Road to make way for a new apartment building–after repeatedly promising they would retain the structures–and as the same property owner plans to build more apartments further up the road.
In Clipper Mill, a separate developer wants to convert an old tractor storage facility into a 99-unit apartment building, though residents of that community have pushed back, arguing the design is not "historic" enough to be permitted under the language of its planned unit development legislation.
Higgins said there are potential drawbacks to receiving a historic designation for Woodberry, namely that there's "a cost to the homeowner for better design review and better products" if they're undertaking work on a building.
Still, she said it could help protect what's already there. In the case of the razing of the two stone houses, "had the designation been in place, the demo permit would never have been issued."
"Designation if granted will be a commitment from our community," she said, "but one that seems to be well supported."
Gallas said this first hearing on Woodberry's potential CHAP designation will offer a chance to explain the request and neighborhood history to commissioners. Staff will also present the results of a community survey.
If commissioners opt to proceed with a "deeper study" of Woodberry's historic district potential, he said, CHAP would schedule a second hearing for the panel to vote on the designation.
CHAP is also holding hearings tomorrow for a proposed three-story building incorporating an original facade in Union Square, two four-story projects in Fells Point and a proposal to add a front basement entrance to a building in Mount Royal Terrace.

The wilderness is an unforgiving place. There are so many different ways to die out there. What do you do first? Whether in the woods, in the mountains, or on a deserted island, here are a few essential steps survivalists say to follow.
1. Signal For Rescue.
The sooner you return to civilization, the better. Your best chance of escape is to be rescued, so use your resources to signal any ships or planes that might pass by.
2. Avoid Injury At All Cost.
Your feet are some of your most important and vulnerable tools for survival. Boots will protect you from cutting your feet as you explore the area for the next step to survival.
3. Find Fresh Water.
While a human can survive for 40 days without food, we can't live more than eight to 10 days without water. If you have to choose between dehydration and unfiltered water, take your chances with the water. But if you can, fresh water is gonna be your best bet. Sources of fresh water include caves, rain, and making your own from salt water. If you're by the ocean, you can convert salt water to fresh. Fill a can with salt water and then put a second container over the can. This will collect the fresh water that evaporates out of the can. You need at least 1 liter of water per day to survive.
4. Look For Signs Of Life.
Vegetation, birds, and insects can all mean nearby water sources. Roots, vegetables, and cacti can all contain water, and mashing them with a rock will release some liquid. Water flows downhill, so be sure to check low-terrain canyons and mountain bases that could be home to a water source. Morning dew can be collected with a cloth and then wrung out into your mouth. But just make sure you collect it before sunrise or it could evaporate before you get to it.
5. Build A Fire.
You need a dry patch of ground about 4 feet wide. Build a ring of rocks or dig down a few inches. This will keep the fire insulated. Then use paper, dry grass, or pine needles as tinder. Pile loosely in the center and top with kindling. If that kindling's wet, you're gonna need a lot more tinder. If you're lucky enough to have a lighter or matches, ignite the tinder and gently blow on the fire. If you don't have a lighter or matches, you need to use friction to create an ember. You can also create sparks with a flint and steel. If you need to, you could always use a lens to harness the sun's light. As the kindling catches, gradually add more. Once you have a nice, healthy flame going, begin to add the firewood.
6. Become Familiar.
Probably the most important lesson to survive in an unfamiliar area is to become familiar with it. Study the terrain, environment, and wildlife of any new area before you enter it. Let people know where you will be and how long you'll be out there. And bring the necessary gear for that trip and every emergency situation that you can think of.

No matter what your dream is, there will never be the 'right' time to get started.

Is something wrong with me for not wanting to go to Michigan?
Michigan was one of my top schools when I was applying for college. I ended up getting into Michigan early action and went on a campus day in January. I had a bad gut feeling the entire time, the very first second I even got to the hotel, and really just hated the entire tour. When we got home, my parents were super excited and were basically like "why would you not want to go there it's amazing!" Now, I am in a fortunate position and my parents will pay for my undergraduate education anywhere I go. However, I was admitted to other great schools and it seems like my family just doesn't want me to go anywhere but Michigan. I keep hyping it up in my mind because I've worked incredibly hard to go to a top school, but then I remember how much I disliked it when i visited. I still haven't heard back from Georgetown or USC (my top 2 schools) but if I don't get into those, do I suck it up and try Michigan out for a year? Or would that be a giant mistake?140 replies
Replies to: Is something wrong with me for not wanting to go to Michigan?
What exactly did you not like about Michigan? Sounds like you were looking for reasons not to go to there. Two weeks ago you were deciding between BC and Tulane. Now you have two new top schools: USC and Georgetown.
What are you looking for in a college? Have you thought about that?
@TomSrOfBoston I went to my campus day super excited because I thought I'd get there and know that it was the place for me. I just felt not excited about anything they had to say.
@TomSrOfBoston I guess it just seemed super big and cold
My daughter has been accepted to BC and loves it there having already visited three times. Yet she thinks she would rather go to U of M yet awaits an acceptance in the deferral abyss. We cannot just randomly visit U of M so I am very curious what specifically you didn't like about your visit.
The two schools are much different in size.
Can you better put in words what you didn't like?
Try to honestly figure out what set off the "don't like it" reaction. It might help you explain it to your parents.
If there is something you really don't like about it, it's better to face it now and either address it or accept it. Don't just squish the feeling then have it negatively affect your college career later.
@J123D123 In all honesty, I just found the campus ugly. The law quad is AMAZING don't get me wrong. But every other building felt really industrial. It didn't feel like a place I could call home. The resources they provide seemed awesome, and I liked a majority of the students that I met, but overall I just thought the campus was depressing. I'm not sure if I could be truly happy there. I'm sure there are plenty who would disagree with me, but I just felt uncomfortable and out of place walking around campus.
I think you've made a good point for students who need to VISIT the campuses.
I would say to stick to your intuition, but that's just me.
My daughter had similar feelings about Yale.
The minute she stepped onto the campus she didn't feel right. She went on the tour and heard the others in the tour get excited, but she couldn't.
When we left the tour, she said, "Mom, NO".
She was very uncomfortable and said that the minute we got out of the car, she was uncomfortable.
Remember that you have to live there for four years. Your family aren't the ones who have to live there. You do.
You may want to revisit before you decide.
I agree with you. If you are not comfortable, relinquish your acceptance and give your spot to someone else when you hear back from all of your schools.
vpa2019 703 replies19 threads MemberMy suggestion is to wait till you hear from all of your schools and then assess them and if possible visit. If your parents are willing to pay for your education they'd probably be happier paying for a place you are excited to attend. It sounds like you have wonderful choices so far. My D19 has a spreadsheet she uses to list pros and cons and it has helped her see common threads of likes and dislikes.
LoveTheBard 2132 replies20 threads Senior MemberWhether or not a school resonates with any given student depends on a number factors that are unique to that particular student and what they do or do not want in their college experience. "Fit" comes down a number of factors:
1) Academic fit: Do they have the programs you seek? Are there possibilities for research in your area of interest?
2) School size (preferences large vs. small school; average class size; faculty/student ratio
3) location (geographic preferences in terms of urban vs. rural; climate),
4) general culture (importance of sports, Greek life, arts, conservative vs. liberal)
This is the kind of decision you need to make with both your head and your gut. If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. While it's probably a perfect fit for lots of people, I personally doubt that I would like it there -- too cold, too big, too spread out, too lacking in warmth and charm.

PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - A daring armed robbery attempt failed in more ways than one when a group of robbers ambushed a bulletproof vehicle with no cash.
The incident happened at around 9.30am on Tuesday (July 26) when three delivery men were travelling from KL International Airport 2 to Kuala Lumpur after transporting a colleague who was carrying a bag full of cash for their company, a money changer.
Kuala Langat OCPD Supt Zailan Tasir said as the three men got near the Putrajaya toll plaza on the Elite highway, they were ambushed by several men using two motorcycles and two cars.
"The first car, which was initially parked at the side of the road like it had broken down, and another car blocked the front while men on two motorcycles came up on either side of the victims' Toyota Fortuner and opened fire," he said.
Unbeknown to the robbers, the car, which was not carrying any money, was bulletproof. So the three men managed to reverse and flee unharmed.
Supt Tasir said the robbers must have mistakenly thought the victims had gone to the airport to collect cash instead of deliver it.
"The money was already on a plane to Kota Kinabalu by that time," he said, adding that the amount of the cash was not known to the deliverymen.
He added that police are working on identifying the poorly-informed robbers.

I am trying to achieve the following on a user's first logon to a machine:
Having done some research; it appears that there is no "officially supported" way of doing the above other than the TaskbarLinks setting in an answer file. However this method will only ADD up to 3 icons to the taskbar and does not REMOVE any existing
ones. Also I can't see a way of clearing the default Recently Opened programs in the Start Menu (why does Microsoft force these to populate if they've never been opened, let alone recently?) Customizing a default user profile using the CopyProfile setting
does not apply changes to these areas.
Now I know there are a multitude of threads on this already but most of the solutions are to use scripts. These scripts are very long and confusing especially to me as I have limited experience with scripting. Has anyone got a "solution for dummies"
and some only appear to take care of the Taskbar and not the Start Menu. The earliest threads I can see on this date back to 2009 - I am a bit surprised that Microsoft haven't made a solid solution for this by now seeing as though the Taskbar and Start Menu
are some of the most obvious things you would want to customize for a standard image.
Finally I notice Internet Explorer's 64-bit shortcut is put back in Start Menu/All Programs even if you delete it before the user profile is copied. Any way to prevent that?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Does anyone have an easy solution to this?

July 3, 1985, Section C, Page 1Buy Reprints
In 1984 the G.D. Searle Company of Skokie, Ill. sold $600 million worth of the artificial sweetener aspartame, on which it holds the exclusive U.S. patent. Produced under the trademark NutraSweet as a food additive and Equal as a table top sweetener, aspartame accounts for about 80 percent of Searle's business. It is found in a wide variety of products from puddings and breakfast cereals to bubble gum and ice cream as well as some of the best known diet soft drinks made by Coca-Cola, Pepsi and 7-Up.
Recently, however, aspartame has been the target of criticism from several scientists now conducting studies of the sweetener or its components.. While their findings are not yet conclusive, preliminary data has indicated that aspartame may be responsible for a range of problems from temporary dizziness to mental retardation.
Their contentions are strongly denied by Searle, which has done its own studies on aspartame in the past and is now conducting new ones.
''When any new product is marketed and attention is called to it, people tend to ascribe any adverse experience to that new product,'' said Dr. Frank Sturtevant, a pharmacologist who is director of the office of scientific affairs at Searle. ''We expected a lot more in the way of complaints than we got: 600 out of 70 million people who have used it is very few.'' Aspartame has been controversial since Searle first sought to market it in 1974. After volumes of testimony and considerable debate about its safety, the sweetener was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1981. But this spring questions about its effects began to surface again.
In May, the U.S. Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources received testimony from two researchers favoring quantitative labeling of products containing aspartame. In accordance with Federal law, it is now listed on labels as an ingredient; no amount is specified.Dr. William Pardridge, an endocrinologist who is an associate professor of medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles, said that too much of the artificial sweetener might cause subtle brain changes in young children. Dr. Richard Wurtman, director of the clinical research center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said that consuming aspartame with carbohydrates might double the affect of aspartame on the brain.
On June 17, Dr. Louis Elsas, director of the division of medical genetics at Emory University in Atlanta, said that neither pregnant women nor infants under six months should consume aspartame because of the chance of fetal brain damage.
Dr. Sturtevant, who says these contentions are ''at best, highly speculative,'' points to dozens of tests done by Searle which he says prove the safety of aspartame. Dr. Sanford Miller, director of F.D.A.'s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, says as far as he can tell the claims against aspartame are unfounded.
Since the appearance of aspartame four years ago the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta have received over 600 complaints from persons suffering dizziness, headaches, blurred vision or grand mal seizures - convulsions associated with epilepsy - who believed that their problems may have been linked to consumption of aspartame. In addition, on May 23 a $2-million lawsuit was filed against Searle in United States District Court in the District of Columbia on behalf of a 5-year-old boy in Olney, Md. charging that consumption of NutraSweet caused irreversible brain damage.
The CDC, which has not been able to reach any conclusions after studying the complaints, has called for clinical studies to determine individual sensitivity to aspartame.
In granting approval of aspartame - which is 180 to 200 times sweeter than sugar with only one-tenth of the calories - then F.D.A. Commissioner Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes overruled several of the agency's scientists as well as an independent public board of inquiry set up to evaluate the studies by Searle of aspartame's effect on animals. The F.D.A. scientists said that the company's research, designed to test the carcinogenicity of aspartame, did not adequately answer the safety questions. According to Congressional testimony from former F.D.A. Commissioner, Dr. Alexander M. Schmidt, some of the experiments were ''poorly conceived, carelessly executed, or inaccurately analyzed or reported.''
After a recent review of the Searle studies, Dr. M. Adrian Gross, a senior science advisor at the Environmental Protection Agency and a former pathologist at F.D.A., said that despite the shortcomings of the exeriments, ''at least one of those studies has established beyond any reasonable doubt that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental animals.'' In a telephone interview, Dr. Sturtevant asserted that some of the calculations presented to Dr. Gross for review were incorrect. The correct tabulations, he contended, are contained in a document that he wrote in 1979 for a board of inquiry empaneled by the F.D.A. The document showed, he said, ''that there is no statistically significant increase in brain tumors in experimental animals.''
Aspartame-sweetened foods now carry a warning directed at phenylketonurics, who are unable to metabolize phenyalinine, one of the two amino acids that make up aspartame. Victims of phenyketonuria, or PKU, will become permanently retarded if the condition is not diagnosed at birth and consumption of phenylalinine strictly controlled.
According to Dr. Elsas, about 2 percent of the population are carriers of the PKU gene and are unaware of the condition. He has expressed concerned about the effects of phenylalinine on unborn children of PKU carriers.
''A small change in the phenylalinine level in a pregnant woman's blood is magnified by the placenta into the fetal blood and the fetal brain will conentrate that further,'' Dr. Elsas explained. ''High levels of phenylalinine in unformed or forming brains could cause irreversible damage. No one knows what degree of elevation in the mother's blood may cause brain damage in the fetus and further research is necessary.''
Dr. Elsas's concern is based on his studies of the effects of phenylalinine on two groups of ten 8- to 24-year-olds, who have PKU but have developed normally. In these studies, the first of which was published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation in January, Dr. Elsas observed that the patients' reaction time was affected and the production of adrenalin-like chemicals in the brain were reduced.
Dr. Elsas also said that ''several patients had really dramatic changes in mood and in their relationship with other people.''
The second study just completed, confirms the findings in the first. ''All of the brain changes were reversible within a three-week period,'' Dr. Elsas said, ''but it took longer for full mental functions to return.''
Dr. Elsas says that anybody over the age of six months ''should take aspartame in moderation and if they have symptoms they should get their phenyalinine blood level checked.''
Dr. Sturtevant of Searle says Dr. Elsas ''is scaring people unnecessarily.''
''It is not physically possible for an unknown PKU carrier to maintain a phenylalinine blood level in the unsafe range by means of consuming products containing NutraSweet,'' he said. ''There is no experimental evidence to suggest a risk to the fetus.'' Searle has eight studies of its own underway exploring the short- and long-term effects of aspartame on the brain.
Dr. Wurtman, professor of neuroendocrin regulation at MIT, does not believe that moderate amounts of aspartame are a hazard to normal people. ''No one is dropping dead on the street,'' he said, ''but I think there are some numbers of people who are at risk.''
However, Dr. Wurtman, who is a consultant to Searle on products other than aspartame, said that when he and Searle ''talk about aspartame we tend not to agree.''
Dr. Wurtman said his own animal studies show that ''you double the effect of the phenyalinine in the brain when you have aspartame and carbohydrates together and no one knows what a safe amount is.''
''There are several groups of people who might be especially susceptible to high doses. These include people who are taking certain drugs that act on the brain like anti-hypertensives, people with a history of seizures, young people and pregnant women.'' Dr. Wurtman says for adults who do not fall into the above categories half a gram to one gram of aspartame a day should be safe.
''But,'' he added, ''if a seven year old, weighing about 45 or 50 pounds, drinks a two-liter bottle of diet Coke, which contains about 1,200 milligrams, he is already exceeding the allowable daily limit for aspartame suggested by F.D.A.''
Dr. Wurtman said he knew of a dozen patients ''with first time seizures confirmed in university hospitals who were consuming very large amounts of aspartame.''
''It is very important,'' he said, ''that such people now be subjects in controlled studies.''
Dr. Wurtman also said he thinks it ''critically important'' that all foods containing aspartame state the amount on the label.
But Searle and soft drink manufacturers disagree. ''We have no objection to F.D.A. requiring quantitative labeling for food ingredients in general,'' Dr. Sturtevant said, ''but we do object to F.D.A. singling out aspartame because there is no scientific evidence suggesting that it need be.'' ''Aspartame is safe,'' said Dr. Miller of the F.D.A., but he added ''we are not moving very rapidly to approve new uses. We are investigating every report that comes in. In the case of aspartame if there is another segment of the population besides phenylketonurics who are sensitive we will do whatever we have to do - from putting something on the label up to banning it if the population is large enough.''

Cherries and Raspberries Are Coming, But Strawberries Are Going, and Fast
Most farms will bring in the last of their strawberries in the next week or two, and prices are at their lowest now, so this is a great time to gorge on the tiny red gems. Lucky for us, a parade of other fruit awaits, from the already-appearing cherries to high-summer glories like apricots. And tri-star strawberries, a unique variety that lasts all summer, have only just begun.

Medieval Zucchini and Bloomsday Cheese Compete for Your Greenmarket Attention
If you find yourself a little cowed by the impenetrable wall of leafy greens and swarms of rabid-looking guys in chef's jackets in Union Square every Saturday, reach out to your local farmers. They'll point you to what's new, at peak, or just plain easy to cook, and they're happy to brag about which restaurants are buying their stuff. This week that means zucchini, spinach, and carrots of a kind we haven't seen yet this season.
At the Greenmarket
Peas Roll In, and Tomatoes Are Better Than They Have a Right to Be
It feels like the first week of camp at the market, as we check out which of our friends from last summer are back and how they look this year. A few weeks later than usual, some of the most popular warm-weather farmers, like Keith's Organics and Eckerton Hill, have returned, with tables already full and lots more to come. It's going to be a good summer, we can just feel it.
At the Greenmarket
Bouquets of Chive Flowers Bloom; Radishes and Raspberries Aplenty
The market has reached a critical mass: It's no longer possible to snap up every piece of good-looking produce and carry it all home. Our plan of attack is to go early, do a walk-through before the buying frenzy, and bring big bags — oh, and hit the ATM first.

Local Asparagus Finally Shows Up, With Sorrel in Tow
Fiddleheads, peas, and strawberries shimmer, miragelike, in our near future — but don't let them distract you from the bounty available right now. The market has never been greener.

The world saw its first bona fide cryptocurrency in 2009 with the advent of Bitcoin. Since then, cryptos have taken the realm of fintech by storm. Its rise in popularity billowed so rapidly, in fact, that nations are unsure how to regulate it. The truth is, cryptocurrency is such a novel technology that we still don't quite know how to handle it.
Should we consider cryptocurrencies commodities or actual currencies? The answer to this question is not so simple. In fact, tax regulations around the world differ on the interpretation.
Our current understanding of cryptocurrencies is that they can basically be either, depending on how they're used.
Crypto as Currency
As the name itself implies, cryptocurrency can function much like fiat money. By that token, one may use them for the purchase of goods and services (in some countries, anyway). They may also be exchanged into other currencies, making them functionally the same.
So that settles it, right? After all, cryptos do everything money does, for the most part. Well, not quite. While they may operate like currency, and intuitively it makes sense, some traits make cryptos difficult to classify as currency.
For one, it is a decentralized currency. In other words, it is not tied to any third party authority (country, bank, etc.); there's the sender and the receiver, nothing more. This stands in stark contrast to how traditional money has worked up until now.
Secondly, cryptos cannot be produced arbitrarily according to a country's current economic state. It instead requires "mining," and only a fixed amount of them exists. This makes cryptos more of an asset, like gold.
Crypto as Commodity
From a certain perspective, cryptos can also be considered a commodity. Granted, the line between currency and commodity is quite fine. The key difference between the two is that the former acts as a clear-cut facilitator for exchange which quantifies the value of an item or service.
That being said, a cryptocurrency does possess fungibility, i.e. the ability to be interchangeable with other commodities on the market. Beyond that, commodities can afford to be volatile, whereas currencies don't have that luxury. Having in mind Bitcoin's value history, it certainly fits the profile of a commodity.
This view certainly isn't without legal precedent. In early 2019, Indonesia greenlit legislation that treats Bitcoin as a commodity for trade. Meanwhile, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) suggested the same ruling on the matter for other cryptos as well, rendering them subject to the Goods & Services Tax. Australia ultimately dubbed Bitcoin as money.
The main idea that stops cryptocurrencies from being pure commodities, however, is the idea of value. Commodities have intrinsic value, like crops, for example. Cryptos, on the other hand, hold only the value that current market expectations give them. It's only worth what it can buy, and nothing else.
In the Eye of the Beholder…
As things currently stand, crypto seems to dip its toes in both ponds, performing as both commodity and currency. And until we reach a deeper understanding of crypto, regulation cannot consistently come to the same decision on the matter. Thus, for now, it's up to each individual country to make up its mind about this conundrum. Until then, take a look at this insightful infographic below:

I recently watched a well done documentary entitled Terms and Conditions May Apply. It had a good amount of information, but nothing particularly surprising or unsettling. I know companies have claim on the info, pictures, and other items I provide them. I know the risk when subscribing, signing up for, posting, tweeting, snapchatting, etc.
There are methods to keeping yourself secure (strong password, pseudonym accounts, etc.), but honestly, the biggest takeaway from this film? DON'T POST ANYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT YOU WOULDN'T WANT YOUR GRANDMA/EMPLOYER/SCHOOL/ETC. TO SEE. Photos of wild parties, sexist jokes, strongly-worded political opinions, and stories of illegal (albeit fun) behavior should be left elsewhere. As great as it is to have those likes and comments and people thinking your life is full of fun, wit, and adventure, it has a strong possibility of coming back to bite you.
I have three excellent examples. My first friend didn't land an solid job at an prestigious company because they perused her Facebook first and found a few photos of her "partying hard" (they brought this up in the interview!). My second friend was called to drop out of the running for Student Body President of the University of Utah when a racist joke was found on his Facebook page FROM FIVE YEARS PRIOR. My last friend didn't hire a qualified candidate to work at this company because this individual had "liked" Kanye West on Facebook (I can sort of see where he's coming from, admittedly).
Be careful, and be smart, people.

i'm creating a game that will be on android but ran into a problem with my terrain and textures in general.
When mip-mapping is enabled on textures i get weird colored lines and artifacts (depicted in the picture below) now i didn't had this problem with unity 4.6 but since the convertion to v5 it showed up on the device. The device uses the TEGRA 3 SoC.
Is there a solution to this problem or did something change in unity5 that i'm still not yet aware of ?
It's those green and black matrix alike lines in the background mip-map 0 area doesn't have it.
I think there are issues with Tegra devices, as I have had to raise a bug for a Tegra 4 device in respect of masking for version 5. See this link for details
I partially fixed the problem (it's not fully gone) by setting anisotropic texture to "Forced on" mode

Righty ho, let's get this show on the road. Seeing as we all love a good simile I have found and attached a simile pairs game that you could print off and cut up. If you don't have a printer available you could simply copy them onto slips of paper before you start, try to do this with your best joined handwriting so you get some practice in. You could glue them into your books once you have matched them. You could even think of your own afterwards.
We have finally got there guys, we are heading towards the ending of our story. After writing your climax (the most exciting part)yesterday you need to look at writing about how the problem that you wrote about earlier gets solved, this should be the 4th box of your story mountain that you completed on Tuesday. Try not to over complicate how it gets resolved but still hold your readers focus by making it interesting, you should know how by now. Once the problem has been sorted you need to think about the ending of your story. Everyone loves and remembers a good ending to a story, so don't rush this element, it is just as important as the rest. I have included a video clip for you to watch to help with your ending as well as a pdf document giving you some guide lines.
I look forward to reading these, when we finally get back together again.
Just to finish this fantastic story that you have placed so much effort into writing, why don't you design your own front cover for it.
What title are you going to give it? The title needs to stand out and be easy to remember, make it bold and colourful.
What picture will capture the essence of your story? Will it show the setting? The main character? An exciting part of the plot?
Most importantly, don't forget the authors name, that's you.
Be creative.

To get your brain into gear thinking about words, how about trying our boogle game. I know we have only played it once, but you impressed me with the words that you could find.
The rules are that the letters have to be joined together and be joined by either horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines.
You could print the sheet off and write on that, or simply copy it into your books. Good luck, I hope you find lots of words. Challenge anyone else who is around.
I hope the beginning of your story went well yesterday. Today I would like you to continue where you left your story. If you haven't already you need to introduce the problem in the story, remember in the minpins, it was there was a nasty creature that lurked in the woods and ate everything that came into sight. Does your story have a similar idea or did you think of your own creative way to take your adventure story?
Can you also write the climax of the story, the most dramatic, exciting part, this could be a fight in the story, losing something important. I'm sure your ideas will be better than mine. Maybe you used an idea from a story you have already read. Remember if I was reading it, it would the part where I cannot put the book down because I am so engrossed in the story.
Use your fantastic words to help build the atmosphere, the tension, the suspense.
Wednesday 25th March 2020
Adventure story
Hopefully yesterday you had fun creating your own story mountain plan for your version of the Minpins. Today, can you start to write the beginning section of your story. Only focus on this part and try to make it as detailed as you possibly can to keep the readers interested and so it paints a picture in their minds. Introduce the characters and the setting, use adjectives, adverbs, similes and your WOW words to really give your work impact.
Remember that your senses help to build up the picture in your mind. Talk about what you can see, the sounds that are around you, the textures of things, the feelings you get in your setting.
Tuesday 24th March 2020
Adventure story
In class we have been reading the story 'The Minpins' by Roald Dahl. We have placed a link to the plot underneath. Can the children please plan their own version along a similar line?
At school, Y3 Saturn have thought about their main character and the creature that they will come across. Y3 Mercury have written their story introduction, describing their main character and the forest setting, building up atmosphere.
We have included a sheet that you can print off or you could write the headings into your book and fill your ideas in that way.

Can you start to learn the year 3/4 exception spelling list words? Try to learn 15 of your choice. If you're a confident speller, challenge yourself by choosing tricky ones. You could have a mini spelling test at the end of the week. If these words are too challenging for you, aim to be able to read them. Can you say them in a full sentence, showing that you understand their meaning?
Try some of the spelling tasks that you get as part of your homework to help you:
eg; rainbow write, pyramid write, draw a picture that you can hide the words in, draw a shape and write it inside.
Or use your imagination and create your own idea.

Hey Friend!
If you weren't around for the livestream yesterday, fear not, you can still watch it!
We talk about why we have so much trouble sounding bad, you'd think it's obvious but it's actually more interesting than you'd think.
But, more importantly, we discuss why we have to be okay sounding bad so that we can sound good over time.
Let me know what you think by commenting below :)
Happy Music Making,

Research Output per year
Personal profile
I am a Chilean igneous petrologist and volcanologist with interests in geochemistry and thermodynamics of magmas. I studied Geology and did my M.Sc. in Geosciences at the University of Chile and then I worked for almost a decade as a staff geologist in the Chilean Geological Survey (SERNAGEOMIN). I did my PhD in the School of Earth and the Environment at the University of Leeds studying the petrogenesis of Stromboli volcano. I moved to the USA as a lecturer in the Geology Department at the University at Buffalo. I returned to the UK in 2013 as a visiting fellow in the School of Geosciences at the University of Edinburgh and Lecturer in Geology at Newcastle University. Currently, I am a Senior Lecturer in Geology in the School of Geography and Geology at Edge Hill University.
Research interests
I have broad interests across igneous petrology and geochemistry. My research, however, principally focuses on the petrology and geochemistry of volcanic rocks. I study the thermodynamics of magma mixing, the evolution of magma geochemistry, using combined analytic, theoretical and geostatistical tools.

China's defense ministry says Hong Kong protests must respect law
- by Claude Bryan
- in Markets
- — Sep 2, 2019
China yesterday sent fresh troops to Hong Kong as part of a "routine" garrison rotation, as the territory braced for a new round of violent protests after police refused permission for a mass rally this weekend.
In reporting the 22 annual maneuver, which it described as "a normal routine annual rotation", the news agency said PLA troops "have grasped the ability to defend Hong Kong".
Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways on Tuesday said it had launched an investigation after a dozen oxygen bottles used by cabin crew in emergencies were found empty, or partially empty, on two of its aircraft.
"You can see the police's course of action is intensifying, and you can see (Hong Kong leader) Carrie Lam has in fact no intention to let Hong Kong return to peace", he said.
ROUTINE ROTATION? People's Liberation Army soldiers arrive in Hong Kong from mainland China during a routine rotation of personnel.
He said the impact of the current violent protests has not yet been clearly revealed in the market, warning its long-term effect on Hong Kong's economy and the market could be very far-reaching and much broader.
Beijing is eager to quell the unrest before the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, when Mr Xi will oversee a large military parade in the Chinese capital.
Universities in Hong Kong are attractive options for mainland Chinese students, but the protest has sparked concerns about its attractiveness to future Chinese employers.
Trump tightens citizenship rules for military children overseas
Previously, these families were considered to be residing in the U.S. even while stationed overseas, for immigration purposes. During the phone call, USCIS officials stressed that the new policy in no way negates birthright citizenship.
The Chinese statement past year said the number of soldiers and amount of equipment of the troops stationed in Hong Kong "was maintained with no change".
Cathay has become a symbol of the danger companies face in Hong Kong as they seek to steer clear of angering Beijing - Chinese authorities imposed a swathe of demands on the airline over its workers' participation in the demonstrations.
Officers must "firmly safeguard the "southern gate" of our national political security", he said, alluding to the crisis in Hong Kong without directly mentioning the ongoing demonstrations.
Applications to authorities for a Letter of No Objection covering both days of public meetings and processions have been filed by the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions.
Sham said he was attacked on Thursday as he ate lunch by two "masked men armed with a baseball bat and a long knife", but escaped unhurt. "We have repeatedly stressed that Hong Kong's affairs are purely China's internal affairs and that no foreign government, organization or individual has the right to intervene", he said.
The last rotation of the Hong Kong garrison occurred one year prior.
Chan stressed the financial risks in Hong Kong are controllable, with its capital adequacy ratio and liquidity coverage ratio in the banking system much higher than worldwide standards, but the HKSAR government would continue to monitor the market to prevent possible risks. Troops stationed in Macao, another special administrative region, also completed a rotation on Thursday.
The Hong Kong protest shows no signs of slowing down.

Exceeded already high expectations!
Absolutely fantastic trip. I luckily had a great group who all took part in things. Tour leader was great and really enthusiastic. My favourite part was Yosemite, though I originally went for the Grand Canyon (which wasn't a let down either!) but it has amazing scenery, camping was great fun and even enjoyed the hiking! Wasn't really bothered about Vegas when I booked it but had great fun there too. There's a lot to do in San Francisco and I would recommend taking the hop on hop off bus tour which was worth its money and means you can see all the highlights in as much it as little time as you like. May was a great time of year to go as the temperature was nice but not too hot and waterfalls in Yosemite were in full flow.
