ISPs happen to be notorious designed for monitoring Internet activity, even in incognito method. By using a VPN, you can make sure your online safety and stay anonymous. Therefore , which is the best VPN with respect to Firestick? The answer depends on your preferences and your preferences.
ExpressVPN is a good VPN pertaining to Firestick because it offers 24-hour customer support and a 30-day money-back guarantee. CyberGhost is another well-known choice and provides unlimited band width and lightning-fast speed. It has 7, 410 servers in 90 countries and is especially good for torrenting. Regardless of the type of content material you're looking to watch, NordVPN is likely to provide you with the company you're looking for.

One of the important problems concerning women in Iranian organizations is the stereotype attitudes towards women inherited from the past. Many of these negative attitudes have been made by men, and that's why, women's efficiency and effectiveness in organizations seems low as compared to that of men.
This study attempts to examine the popular clichés concerning women's organizational commitment, job involvement and organizational citizenship behavior in educational organizations (Ministry of Education, Ministry of Research & Technology, and Ministry of Health and Medical Education).
The statistical sample consists of 819 people. The findings show that women's organizational commitment in educational organizations is not qualitatively different from that of men. Thus Women's involvement and organizational citizenship behavior is actually more than men's. Furthermore, the results show that organizational commitment has a significant causal relationship with job involvement and organizational citizenship behavior.

I don't want to start any holy wars here - I'm just curious what the community's thoughts are on this. When I got started with Linux in 199X there was a lot of ideological fervor(?) behind people who wrote and used FOSS and Linux. I kind of feel that over the last 25ish years the Linux and FOSS communities have grown a lot more broad and less, umm… fundamental? Sure, Richard Stallman is still around and the FSF is still banging their drum…but I have to wonder if that type of firebrand Linux/FOSS person is getting rarer. Is this true? If so, is it a good or bad thing? Am I completely off? Somewhere in between? What say you DLN?
Vaguely i'd imagine these numbers are directly proportionate to the amount of people aware of being screwed X their technical proficiency X available options.
"Screwed awareness" goes up when people hear the good word about FOSS and experience the growing repercussions of using non-FOSS software.
"Technical proficiency" is generally increasing over time and improvements to FOSS are reducing it's relevance.
"Their options" imho is where the war is fought for FOSS and the dream of FOSS is conveyed by the software itself. Broadly people can push to use, create or fund the FOSS they need with enough ideological fervor but when confronted with objectives such as… getting and keeping a job the options can go away.
In my humble opinion regarding the title of the post:
The 'ideologies like GNU and the FSF' are more relevant than ever in 2020 due to the ramping up of the unsolicited data collection by the largest tech. companies , advertisement companies, and governments in the world.
As far as the body of the post goes, I am going to consider overnight and reply tomorrow in a more coherent way than I would tonight…I hope!
Interesting point. I've noticed among my family members their "screwed awareness" has definitely fueled consumer choices. Not in the OS space, yet, but with other products like cell phone providers and ISPs.
Okay. After consideration of the body of the post, I would say that we do need FOSS firebrands more than ever as well but, we also need those said firebrands to acknowledge and support projects with more permissive licenses. In the context of more permissive licenses, they should point out that it is a good move in the right direction but, not the end desired result. …Just my 2 cents
I think the ideas (ideals?) are still valid, but that today a more pragmatic approach is appropriate and that the hard line fundamentalism has become counter productive.
I think that's about where I've settled as well. I respect folks like RMS for what they've done for FOSS and the GNU project in particular…but sometimes his hard-line stances on things just make me cringe. I feel like that alienates more than it helps these days.

Steve Baker has apologised to the European Union for "not always behaving" during Brexit negotiations.
The new Northern Ireland minister was a staunch supporter of the Leave campaign and is a former chairman of the European Research Group, made up of backbench Conservative MPs.
He was one of 28 "Spartan" Tories who voted against Theresa May's Brexit deal on all three occasions, and resigned as Brexit minister in 2018 over his fears she had accepted compromises that effectively kept Britain in the EU.
However, he struck a more conciliatory tone in the main hall of the Conservative Party conference on Sunday, saying that relations between Britain and Ireland were not "where they should be".
Repairing relations with Brussels and Dublin
Mr Baker said: "The thing I want to add, as one of the people who perhaps acted with the most ferocious determination to get the UK out of the EU: I think we have to bring some humility to this situation.
"It is with humility that I want to accept and acknowledge that I and others did not always behave in a way which encouraged Ireland and the European Union to trust us, to accept that they have legitimate interests, legitimate interests that we are willing to respect.
"Because they do and we are willing to respect them, and I am sorry about that, because relations with Ireland are not where they should be and we all need to work extremely hard to improve that and I know that we are doing so."
Britain's relations with both Brussels and Dublin have soured further over the Northern Ireland Protocol, which Liz Truss's government has blamed for trade friction.ave soured further over the Northern Ireland Protocol, which Liz Truss's Government has blamed for trade friction.
The Prime Minister brought forward legislation when she was foreign secretary to allow the unilateral suspension of parts of the Protocol, but has insisted her preference would still be a deal with the European Union to remove the most problematic aspects of the agreement.
Chris Heaton-Harris, the Northern Ireland Secretary, said he had "learnt a lot in the last few years about the delicate political and trade impasse".
He also appeared to row back from the hard line on Brussels that defined Boris Johnson's premiership, adding: "I understand the complications. Maybe we could have understood them a bit better sooner."
'EU not enormously keen on the UK'
However, Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Business Secretary, took a harder line, saying that the EU was "not enormously keen on the United Kingdom" and is stopping the Brexit trade deal from working "fluidly".
"We cannot allow the European Union to stop us trading with Northern Ireland from Great Britain," he told a fringe event held by Conservative Home.
"It's monstrous and the legislation is with parliament to deal with that. It's about to arrive in their Lordships' house and I hope their Lordships will give it fair passage."

Magazine Description
In this issue
FROM THE PUBLISHERS Italy, Jamaica, Florida, Germany, California. These are a few of the many places around the world that the premier issue of Autostrada Forum has visited since our launch in March. The response and support of our readers has been absolutely overwhelming, a big thank you to everyone for all their feedback and encouragement on our new magazine. When we started this journey we had a book of blank pages, the way the community has rallied behind the finished product has been humbling and inspiring. Our first cover feature Robert Herjavec had a successful eight-week stint on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" and local up and coming driver Samantha Tan has had a great start to her racing season. Be sure to keep and eye out in future issues for follow up features on some of our previous stories. You may have noticed our June issue has grown by an extra thirty pages, a direct result of companies aligning themselves with our vision and becoming part of the Autostrada team. We have also boosted the content in this issue to document even more of the passionate individuals in our community who are willing to share their stories. From Viper to Camaro, Ferraris to Shock Rods, this issue represents a more accurate representation of our direction for Autostrada Forum. James Hinchcliffe's reputation as a down to earth charismatic IndyCar driver precedes him. When we sat down together a few months ago it was great to meet such a passionate Canadian taking on the world stage. With a win at the Louisiana Grand Prix in March, James has had a promising start to the year, we look forward to following his season and having him as the cover feature for the June issue. As summer arrives we look forward to seeing our friends at several of the automotive events held throughout the season. We encourage everyone to reach out with your feedback and ideas; this is a magazine for enthusiasts by enthusiasts, we truly value your input. See you in September, Lucas & Sean Publishers

Improving your body is a consistent process that can be done in a variety of ways. Every bit you do helps you feel better, though, and the important thing is to start small and find what works best for you. Your main options include exercise, therapy, diet, and sleep.
Exercise is a great way to improve both physical and mental health. The general recommendation is to get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity. This can include brisk walking, swimming, or even doing more challenging chores or yard work. An alternative to this is doing vigorous aerobic exercise for at least 75 minutes a week. This can include running or strenuous dancing. You could also combine the two for your own equal amount of time.
The key to exercise is finding what suits you and your body. You want what you will be able to do and continue to do over a period of time. Start small and work your way up to avoid injuries at the start. If the thought of going to a gym fills you with dread, create a home gym or join an outdoors running group. If you need to watch for injuries or have medical conditions, consult with your doctor for the best options for you.
You don't need to have a specific condition to seek therapy. Therapists can help with anything in your life and mind- worries, career dilemmas, sleep problems, etc. You can do therapy in a therapist's office or even at home with the advent of virtual therapy appointments. Mental health issues are common- 1 in 4 will have a mental health issue in the world in any year.
You can also consider somatic therapy options. Somatic therapy is a unique kind of therapy that is more mind-body-centered. It uses psychotherapy and physical therapy for overall healing. It explores the mind-body connection to heal what ails you. It can be helpful for those who suffer from stress, anxiety, grief, depression, problems with addiction, or relationships. It may even help those suffering from chronic pain and digestive disorders that have not responded well to traditional treatments.
There is no one specific "healthy eating" diet. You can customize it to your tastes and needs. First, find and stick to your daily caloric needs. A general rule is to eat a variety of healthy foods in different colors. Leafy greens, oranges, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and bananas are all options. Add them to your already everyday foods, such as adding onions to your burritos and having a side of baked broccoli with your favorite spice topping. Spices will be your best friend if you like good tastes and low calories.
You can also use different versions of the foods you already consume. Choose whole grains instead of white bread or pasta. Use low-fat or fat-free milk and milk products. Lower your saturated fats and eliminate trans fats. You can even eat your comfort foods in new ways. You can eat them less often, like once a week instead of almost daily. You can eat smaller amounts, like one donut instead of your usual two. You could even find a lower calorie version, such as making mac and cheese with nonfat milk and low-fat cheese, adding healthy veggies in there as well. Make it fit your life!
Sleep is very underrated in modern society, but it's essential for our health and wellbeing. Mayo Clinic recommends 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Do not take any electronics into the room to use or have on as this light interrupts sleep. You should go to bed at the same time every night. However, you can have up to an hour of extra sleep on weekends. No more as you want to keep your sleep cycle steady.
If you're having trouble sleeping, look at your caffeine levels. Caffeine disrupts sleep. Many people will not have caffeine after a set time of day like 2 PM or 4 PM, depending on what works best for them. If all else fails, contact your doctor to check for issues and see what they recommend. There is sleep help out there.
There are a wide variety of ways in which to approve your life. All you have to do is find what works best for you!

A solution to Darwin's 'mystery of the mysteries' emerges from the dark matter of the genome
[Via Eureka! Science News – Popular science news]
Biological species are often defined on the basis of reproductive isolation. Ever since Darwin pointed out his difficulty in explaining why crosses between two species often yield sterile or inviable progeny (for instance, mules emerging from a cross between a horse and a donkey), biologists have struggled with this question. New research into this field by basic scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, published online Oct. 22 in Science Express, suggests that the solution to this problem lies within the "dark matter of the genome": heterochromatin, a tightly packed, gene-poor compartment of DNA found within the genomes of all nucleated cells.
Naturally I read my feeds in reverse time order. So this was posted at 11:23 AM while my previous post was up at Eureka Science at 6.28 PM. While the previous work only describes in generalities the regions in the chromosomes responsible for reproductive isolation, this paper not only gives more specific information on the regions but identifies some of the proteins involved.
At a quick glance, I would say that this paper may have more impact in the long run, as it provides an actual mechanism with the possible culprit for rapid creation of new species.
Time will tell.

How I Met Your Mother was considered to be the replacement of FRIENDS when it started airing in 2005. Through its nine-season run, the sitcom had many ups and downs while maintaining the mystery of the mother's identity. In my opinion, the series peaked in its fourth season, and though they continued to deliver some nice episodes through fifth and sixth seasons, the series started losing momentum in the later seasons.
Starring Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby, Jason Segel as Marshall Eriksen, Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky, Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin and Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson, How I Met Your Mother ended in 2014 after a controversial finale.
Here are the ten best episodes of How I Met Your Mother:
1. Come On (Season 1, Episode 22)
The early days of How I Met Your Mother were quite mushy, and there was just no better way to express that mushiness than Ted trying to make it rain for Robin. The first season finale took Ted and Robin's relationship to the next level but gave us a heartbreak in the form of Marshall and Lily's separation.
2. Slap Bet (Season 2, Episode 9)
Robin's past as Robin Sparkles gave HIMYM its in-house mall rockstar. The revelation of this secret had Marshall and Barney getting engaged in a slap bet that went on for years. "Let's Go To The Mall" was hilarious and still makes this one of the best episodes to revisit.
3. Ten Sessions (Season 3, Episode 13)
Ten Sessions gave us one of the most awe-inducing sequences of the show in the form of that two-minute date that Ted planned for Stella. This was way before we learnt that Stella was going to break his heart, so watching him try earnestly here was really cute.
4. The Best Burger in New York (Season 4, Episode 2)
Just the thought of this episode makes me feel hungry. That's the effect that this Season 4 episode had on the audience. While the gang hops from restaurant to restaurant in search of the best burger, it is Robin and her expressions that hold the episode together. Be prepared to watch this episode, but only with a burger next to you!
5. Intervention (Season 4, Episode 4)
Season 4 had some of the best episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Intervention was another great one. HIMYM was its best when it made its characters put their friendship above everything else, and Intervention did exactly that. The intervention banner here spoke about their lasting friendship and was also a strong signal to the fact that Ted and Stella might not end up together.
6. Three Days Of Snow (Season 4, Episode 13)
Another great episode from Season 4, this one has the gang separated and trapped in a snowstorm that lasts for three days. Marshall and Lily are trying to keep their relationship rituals alive, and Robin is helping them achieve that. The best bit here was Ted and Barney getting to run their own bar named Puzzles.
7. The Possimpible (Season 4, Episode 14)
Robin has to find a new job so she can stay in the US and to help her do that, Barney coaches her to make a video resume. Watching Barney's video resume is probably the most hilarious part of this episode and the bit that gets us to come back for this episode over and over again.
8. The Playbook (Season 5, Episode 8)
After Barney and Robin break up, Barney enters the dating scene again with his Playbook. While it was disheartening to see Robin and Barney go in different directions, this episode brought back Barney's old self. The Playbook's main story revolves around Barney hence making it extremely re-watchable.

9. Girls Versus Suits (Season 5, Episode 12)
How I Met Your Mother's 100th episode had Barney performing an elaborate musical number. By this time, it was clear that Neil Patrick Harris was the star of this show and HIMYM dedicated their 100th episode to Barney and his love for suits.
10. Bad News (Season 6, Episode 13)
Bad News was a seemingly normal episode until the climax that had everyone in tears. Before this episode, How I Met Your Mother had not taken its viewers through a death and seeing Marshall and Lily break down at the end of this episode made us tear up instantly.
How I Met Your Mother is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.

One of the more intriguing wide receiver prospects in this year's draft happens to be the cousin of the newly acquired, Antonio Brown. Marquise Brown is nicknamed "Hollywood" because of his Florida hometown and his big play ability. The speedster was a sure thing first round pick but a Lisfranc injury that required surgery in February could make some teams hesitant to spend a first round pick on him.
Raiders fans know all too well how debilitating Lisfranc injuries can be. Former running back, Darren McFadden suffered the injury in 2011 and was never the same.
Despite not being able to participate in the scouting combine and private workouts, Bleacher Reports Connor Rogers, co-host of the "Stick to Football" podcast with Matt Miller said that he has heard rumors that the Raiders are very interested in Brown should he be there with one of their later first round picks.
"Obviously Hollywood Brown is the cousin of Antonio Brown," said Rogers. "And what I keep hearing over and over again with those picks 24 or 27 in the back end of round one that Oakland would be looking to add his speed to their offense."
Any team would welcome Brown's game breaking speed, but being the peak of smokescreen season it's hard to differentiate between fact or fiction.
The Raiders have invested significantly this offseason in the wide receiver position with the trade and sign of Antonio Brown and signing of Tyrell Williams. They also added JJ Nelson, Ryan Grant, and De'Mornay Pierson-El for depth.
Using pick 24 or 27 on Hollywood Brown seems more like filling a want rather than a need, especially when you consider the lack of talent at other positions on defense.
On the other hand, Gruden is an offensive minded coach and has prioritized upgrading the offense over the defense in free agency. The Raiders are in a rebuilding process and it's possible the plan is to build the offense into a juggernaut and address the deficiencies on defense in 2020 and beyond.
During the Senior Bowl, Mike Mayock made the comment, "I think everyone knows we could use some speed at the wide receiver position."
Playing against the Chiefs twice a year, the Raiders learned first hand the value of having game breakers on the outside.
With so many holes that need to be plugged it might be wise to take a look at other positions in round one but it sure would be fun to watch an offense with Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams, and Hollywood Brown.
Are you buying or selling Marquise "Hollywood" Brown to the Raiders at pick 24 if he is available?

How to Convert Rows to Columns in OpenOffice
Apache OpenOffice's Calc application contains a handy feature for restructuring spreadsheet tables or data lists. Hidden in Calc's Paste Special option, the Transpose feature enables you to convert data listed across a row, so it appears in a column. This conversion also works on tables, so that header rows appear as headers in a column, and vice versa. Data in the table is likewise inverted to align with its relative position in the restructured table.
Click and drag your mouse across the data you want converted. This selection can cover a single row or a block of cells.
Click "Edit," then "Cut." Alternatively, press "Ctrl-X."
Click wherever you want the transposed data to appear. The clicked cell represents the top-left corner of the restructured data.
Click "Edit," then "Paste Special." Alternatively, press "Ctrl-Shift-V."
Check "Transpose" and click "OK" to transpose the previously selected data.
- If pasting the transposed data will overwrite exiting data, Calc prompts you for permission. Click "Yes" to overwrite the data or "No" to choose a different location.

Real estate in Tel Aviv
Real estate in Tel Aviv,
From the first individual houses to glass and aluminum towers, Tel Aviv has become in a century a showcase of modern architectural trends.
In Tel Aviv are handled cases for exorbitant amounts that can sometimes exceed the understanding. It is not a coincidence…
The second city of Israel symbolizes the boiling point of the real estate market, as well as the insatiable appetite of investors, young people who have influenced it, and residents from abroad.
It is not unknown that in Europe, for example in France, there is a policy of assistantship and a climate of insecurity. And for good reason, the recrudescence and the multiplication of antisemitic acts increase this feeling of insecurity and thus push the French, looking for a comfort of life, to expatriate themselves more and to make their Aliyah.
Tel Aviv, more than any other city has distinguished itself over the last ten years, by leaps in the price of apartments, a decline in the number of transactions, and even, in some sectors, a slight moderation of prices.
During this decade, the city of dynamic real estate market was and remains the vibrant heart of the most attractive regions, exerting its influence on the satellite cities and beyond, on all the coastal part.
All the reasons that made Tel Aviv attractive for years are still relevant, and have even increased, thanks to the many municipal investments in all areas, including the development of urban planning:
- namely, the beautification and extension of the Tayelette between Tel Aviv, Bat Yam and Rishon,
- the increase of green spaces - parks and gardens for children, but also parks specialized for the walk of the animals,
- or the availability to the public of free sport spots on the seafront, all, aimed at the attractiveness of tourism.
Another element is added to this dynamic, and not least, the start of the Léger metro that will connect Tel Aviv and its suburbs close to each other.
As a reminder, the population of the White City is today the second of the state Israel, behind Jerusalem and before Haifa.
But in terms of urban agglomeration, Tel Aviv is the largest metropolis in the country. Statistical projections indicate that its population could exceed 4 million inhabitants by 2025!
On the real estate issue, there are few offers to satisfy the number of requests ... That's why the term constantly coming back on the local real estate market is "a pending demand", and that there is no true reason to lower prices in the near future ...
The Israeli real estate market is likely to be talked about, with transactions reaching heights for Tel Aviv, the city that never sleeps ...
So, more than ever, it's time to invest in Tel Aviv with a serious partner who will do anything to satisfy you.
So if you want: buy, sell or rent in Tel Aviv, or elsewhere in Israel, do not wait any longer, contact Evenis Group 1st network of real estate agencies in Israel.

I still choose to get up each day and smile fiercely at the sun. Sure, maybe sometimes that smile looks more like a grimace of pain. Yet despite trisomy 18, despite grief of unimaginable magnitude, despite leukemia, despite Alzheimers, dementia, and mental illness, I choose to dig in my garden, to read books, to write, to cherish my children, the living and the dead, to kiss my husband, and to keep striving towards … whatever it is we strive towards—maybe just being a better person in the world. Maybe just spreading compassion and love.

Harry Maguire will spend Friday night in a Greek jail but his lawyer is confident that he will be released without charge on Saturday.
The Manchester United captain has been accused of being involved in two separate attacks on police officers in one night on the Greek island of Mykonos.
England centre-back Maguire, the world's most expensive defender, and two other men were held overnight in a police cell after an incident on the greek island of Mykonos on Thursday.
Police in Greece say that the 27 year-old and the two other men, allegedly "turned against them, insulting and hitting a police officer with fists" in the town, before being driven to the holiday island's police station where they resisted arrest and began "pushing and beating three police officers".
It is also alleged that one of the three men is accused of attempted bribery by trying "to offer money so that the trial against them would not be completed".
They have not disclosed whether that accusation is against Maguire.
Maguire and the men were transferred to the island of Syros by boat on Friday afternoon.
They are due to face a state prosecutor on Saturday morning at 11am local time (9am BST).
The lawyer acting on behalf of Maguire, Constantine Darivas, has spoken to media in Greece and says the United centre-back denies the allegations.
"The process is ongoing. Maguire is in great condition.
"We'll be able to say more tomorrow morning.
"He denies the allegations and I am fully convinced that tomorrow he will be released without any charges."
A statement from United on Friday confirmed they were aware of the allegations and had been in contact with the defender, stating he was "fully co-operating".
Their statement read: "The club is aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night.
"Contact has been made with Harry and he is fully co-operating with the Greek authorities.
"At this time we will be making no further comment."

It was one month ago in what was JPMorgan's 4th consecutive – and failed – attempt to smack down cryptos when the bank's strategist Nick Panigirtzoglou wrote that Tesla's recent $1.5BN purchase of bitcoin would be a one-off and no other institutions would follow Musk (and Microstrategy, and countless other banks) into converting some of their cash into bitcoin. Our response was simple:
No, Nick, you are painfully wrong again… just like you were wrong the last time you looked at your favorite GBTC as a proxy of… something… and predicted that bitcoin would drop. It did not. Furthermore, it's not "irrespective of how many corporates follow Tesla's example" – that's precisely the ballgame right there. Once we get two more companies, then 4, then 8, well even quants know what sequences that is.
Once again, we were right and one of JPM's top quants was wrong because over the past 24 hours, not one but two major institutions have announced their plans to convert substantial amounts of fiat into crypto.
On Sunday, Hong Kong-listed Meitu which makes image and video processing software, said it had purchased $22 million in ether and $17.9 million of bitcoin, making it the first time a firm has disclosed a major purchase of ETH for its treasury. Meitu said it bought 15,000 ETH and 379.1 BTC in open market transactions on March 5.
Meitu said it's evaluating the feasibility of integrating blockchain tech into its overseas business, including launching Ethereum-based dApps. ETH is the native token of the Ethereum blockchain. It's also evaluating potential investments in blockchain-based projects, many of which accept ETH as consideration for investment.
As Coindesk reports, while the company said that while buying crypto helps diversify its holdings away from cash, "More importantly, the Board considers this a demonstration to investors and stakeholders that the Group has the vision and determination to embrace technological evolution, and hence preparing its foray into the blockchain industry."
But the bigger story here is the one of the snowball effect, because as one becomes two, two becomes four, and so on, more and more companies will jump on board – as we predicted back in January – and that's precisely what is going on because just hours after the Meitu news, Bloomberg reported that Norway's oil billionaire Kjell Inge Rokke "has come out strongly in favor of Bitcoin, as he bets the cryptocurrency will prove the best defense against the disruption facing the finance industry and central banking."
According to the report Rokke's Aker ASA, a giant energy conglomerate which controls oil and oil service companies and has more recently branched out into green tech and renewable energy companies, is setting up a new business, Seetee AS, to tap into the potential of Bitcoin, according to a statement on Monday.
For now, Rokke's investment will be small, and Seetee will start with just 500 million kroner ($58 million) in capital. The firm plans to keep all its liquid investable assets in the cryptocurrency. Aker's Seetee will focus on investing in Bitcoin, establish partnerships with leading players in the Bitcoin and broader blockchain community, launch Bitcoin verification operations and invest in innovation projects and companies.
"Bitcoin may still go to zero. But it can also become the core of a new monetary architecture," Rokke, Norway's second-richest person with an estimated $5.4 billion net worth, wrote in a shareholder letter. He says it's not inconceivable that one Bitcoin could one day "be worth millions of dollars."
"People who know the most about Bitcoin believe its future success is nearly inevitable," Rokke said.
The Norwegian billionaire is only the latest to adopt on the controversial crypto bandwagon which has emerged as the clearest separation line between dead-end Keynesian zealots and their amateur echo chamber scribes, who clutch a failed fiat religion as the answer to all the problems caused by fiat, and libertarians who see crypto as the transition medium to a new monetary world, one unburdened by the idiocy of central planning in any form. And despite growing anger by establishment economists who see themselves obsolete in a new non-fiat world, Bitcoin is being increasingly more embraced by some of the most influential members of the global financial industry. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is currently working to restart its cryptocurrency trading desk, as it responds to substantial demand for digital assets from institutions.
The situation is different now compared with the 2017 Bitcoin bubble due to "huge" institutional demand across different industry types and from private banking clients, Matt McDermott, global head of digital assets for Goldman Sachs Global Markets Division said.
But back to Aker, which has been active in investing in industrial software, fintech and green energy value chains as the culmination of its 160 year history. Its latest venture into cryptocurrency is intended to help pursue developments in cyber security, financial transactions and emissions-free verification operations, it said.
"The direction is clear: finance will be disrupted as surely as fossil fuels will be," Rokke said. "The question is not if, but when."

If you've always thought of the Puritans who disembarked from the Mayflower in 1620 as dour teetotalers, think again. Dour, they may have been, but teetotalers they weren't. Their alcoholic beverage was so important to them that their dependence on it probably determined more than anything why they docked in rocky, wintry Massachusetts instead of continuing south to a more pleasant climate.
William Bradford wrote about the historic Plymouth Rock landing in his journal: "We could not now take time for further search or consideration, our victuals being much spent, especially our Beere."
Their beer! Beer – or ale – to the early colonists was not only food, it was a dietary staple, so central to their diet that it was drunk by everyone from infants and nursing mothers, to laborers, merchants, craftsmen and lawyers. Colonists began drinking ale before breakfast and accompanied every meal throughout the day with it.
To be fair, back in England, they had learned the hard way that drinking plain water was a sure route to illness. Although not understanding the science of bacteriology, they knew that drinking ale, which had been boiled, did not make them sick as tainted water did. So beer, instead of water, made the trip to the New World with the displaced Englishmen.
Once they sampled the New World's pristine waters, the colonists were amazed that the fresh water did not hurt them. Rather, according to one incredulous colonist, "Those that drink it (water) be as healthful, fresh, and lusty as they that drink beer."
In spite of that discovery, ale remained the drink of choice. Most brewing and drinking was done at home, since it would be some time before brewhouses were built or taverns were established. You can still see vestiges of home brewing rooms in the small rooms tacked onto surviving colonial living quarters.
The early Americans imported barley from England or used malted local corn to brew beer in several strengths. "Small beer," which was beer of only slight alcoholic strength, was a standard mealtime beverage meant to be drunk immediately after it was brewed. "Table beer," "ship's beer," and "strong beer" were more powerful brews that could be stored longer.
And, according to university records, drinking beer on college campuses has a colonial precedent. Although beer drinking is discouraged in 21st century schools, early Harvard College students received beer at dinner and supper, and two servings in between. Morning meal was bread with a pint of beer – delivered from the College's own brewhouses.
The culture built around beer may have been partly responsible for development of the country's interior. Because English traders found it easier to conduct business in comfortable surroundings, taverns sprouted across the countryside, becoming centers of commerce and critical to expanding trade. Using that experience as a guide, the Crown directed the new Americans to open taverns in their communities to meet travelers' needs.
And trade did increase, thanks to the explosion of inns across the expanding United States. A "beer monetary system" even evolved, as farmers began trading their produce for a supply of ale. In the southern colonies, an actual rate of exchange was set for the amount of tobacco that could be traded for a barrel of ale.
The onset of "civilization" and temperance-minded citizens eventually censured routine beer drinking and it ceased to be a family activity. But the next time you tip a mug of suds, drink a toast to old William Bradford and his shipmates, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean with a beer supply stashed in the Mayflower's hold.

From the author of the multi-million copy bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz comes a new novel based on a riveting true story of love and resilience.
Her beauty saved her — and condemned her.
Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in 1942, where the commandant immediately notices how beautiful she is. Forcibly separated from the other women prisoners, Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly taken, equals survival.
When the war is over and the camp is liberated, freedom is not granted to Cilka: She is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a Siberian prison camp. But did she really have a choice? And where do the lines of morality lie for Cilka, who was send to Auschwitz when she was still a child?
In Siberia, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar, including the unwanted attention of the guards. But when she meets a kind female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under brutal conditions.
Confronting death and terror daily, Cilka discovers a strength she never knew she had. And when she begins to tentatively form bonds and relationships in this harsh, new reality, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love.
From child to woman, from woman to healer, Cilka's journey illuminates the resilience of the human spirit—and the will we have to survive.
Praise For Cilka's Journey: A Novel…
Praise for Cilka's Journey:
"Cilka's Journey gives a memorable portrait of the minutiae of women's lives in the gulag. Morris has a fine eye for the way they managed their meagre food supplies, pulled threads from their bedding to use in sewing, or strips from blankets to make eye masks so they could sleep in the White Nights, when the sun never set — and even helped each other give birth." —The Jewish Chronicle
"[An] incredible story of bravery and love." —Library Journal, Starred Review
"In the stirring follow-up to The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Morris tells the story of a woman who survives Auschwitz, only to find herself locked away again. Morris's propulsive tale shows the goodness that can be found even inside the gulag." —Publishers Weekly
"Although the subject matter is dark, this is an inspiring and ultimately uplifting story of strength and survival." —Good Housekeeping (UK)
Praise for The Tattooist of Auschwitz:
"Based on a true story, the wrenching yet riveting tale of Lale's determination to survive the camp with Gita is a moving testament to the power of kindness, ingenuity, and hope." —People
"The Tattooist of Auschwitz is the story of hope and survival against incredible odds and the power of love." —PopSugar
"The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an extraordinary document..I find it hard to imagine anyone who would not be drawn in, confronted and moved. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone, whether they'd read a hundred Holocaust stories or none." —Graeme Simsion, internationally-bestselling author of The Rosie Project

What is Anastrozole?
Anastrozole is a prescription drug, available in the form of an oral tablet. This tablet is available as the brand name called Arimidex. This drug is anti-cancer hormone therapy and is classified as a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. Anastrozole, like letrozole, is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI) used to lower circulating oestrogen levels in postmenopausal women with estrogen-responsive breast cancer. It is similar to exemestane, a steroidal AI, but its non-steroidal nature offers significant benefits, such as the absence of steroid-related side effects like weight gain and acne.
Anastrozole Uses
Anastrozole is used in conjunction with other therapies, such as surgery or radiation for the treatment of early breast cancer in postmenopausal women. This drug is also used as first-line therapy for breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast or to other parts of the body in women that have gone through menopause. The drug belongs to the class of drugs called nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors. This works by reducing the amount of estrogen the body makes. The medication can slow or stop the growth of various types of breast cancer cells which need estrogen to grow.
Before taking Anastrozole talk with your doctor if you are allergic to it or any other medication-related to it. The drug may contain some inactive ingredients which will cause serious allergic reactions or some other serious problems. Before using the drug talk with your doctor if you are having any medical history such as: Kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and blood clots. The drug is primarily prescribed to women during menopause. This drug should not be used during pregnancy if you have not yet reached menopause. When taking this drug and for at least 3 weeks after stopping it, talk to your doctor about using a safe method of birth control (such as latex condoms).
How Anastrozole Works for Bodybuilding
More recently it was discovered that Anastrozole can be used with a high level of success when used by athletes, with bodybuilders having shown the best results. The dose of Anastrozole works by blocking an enzyme known as aromatase. This has the effect of preventing the production of estrogen. When used in combination with steroids, Anastrozole has taken over in popularity from steroids alone and it is now thought to be the most used drug for bodybuilders.
Hormones are chemical substances that are produced by glands in the body, which enter the bloodstream and can cause effects in other parts of the body. For example, the hormone testosterone is made in the testicles and is responsible for male characteristics such as deepening voice and increased body hair. The use of hormone therapy to treat cancer is based on the observation that cancer cell growth can partially depend on hormone binding to receptors on the cancer cell surface.
Hormone therapies can work through methods such as stopping the production of a certain hormone or interfering with hormone binding to the cancer cell receptor. The different types of hormone therapies are categorized by their function and/or the type of hormone that is affected.
Anastrozole is an aromatase inhibitor. This means it blocks the enzyme aromatase (found in the body's muscle, skin, breast and fat), which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogens. Tumor cells dependent on estrogens grow less when there is no estrogen.

We often think of testosterone and estrogen as exclusively male (androgen) and female (estrogen) hormones. However, men and women naturally produce both hormones, and a balance between the two is vital for good health in both sexes.
In men, having too little testosterone or too much estrogen can lead to problems like low sex drive, breast tenderness or enlargement, and erectile dysfunction. The primary sex hormone for men is testosterone, which is made in what are called Leydig cells in the testicles. Men also make a small amount of estradiol, a potent estrogen.
Estradiol is made directly by the testicles, but the majority comes from the conversion of testosterone into estradiol by the aromatase enzyme. Anastrozole blocks the action of aromatase (called aromatization), which slows down the conversion of testosterone to estradiol. This boosts overall testosterone levels and lowers estradiol.
Effectiveness of anastrozole in men
There is limited evidence for anastrozole's effectiveness in men.
In one small study, anastrozole increased testosterone in older men with mild hypogonadism (low T). In another study looking at men with low testosterone and infertility, taking anastrozole led to increased testosterone and increased sperm count in some.
Although anastrozole may increase testosterone levels, a recent analysis suggests that it doesn't lead to improvements in sexual function like better erections or higher libido (sex drive). It also doesn't improve semen quality. Currently, there isn't sufficient evidence to recommend anastrozole as a routine treatment for low T in clinical practice.
When compared to clomiphene, another off-label treatment for low T, men had significantly higher increases in testosterone than on anastrozole.
In some cases, a healthcare professional might consider prescribing low-dose anastrozole for men who receive TRT. The reason is that testosterone injections can increase estrogen levels, sometimes leading to unwanted breast growth (gynecomastia) in men. Arimidex and other aromatase inhibitors may reduce estrogen hormone levels in men and potentially treat gynecomastia.

When it comes to spoofing talk shows, the job seems being done by Zach Galifianakis in his online "Between Two Palms," which just recently has been inching onto Comedy Central in specials.
Lucky that Galifianakis is first guest on a new fake talk show hosted by Scott Aukerman, "Comedy Bang! Bang!" (IFC, 10 p.m.), that has the same deadpan absurdist aim. In addition to the non sequitirs and dead ends between Zach and the host, ther is the musical accompaniment of the largely wasted Reggie Watts, an on-set, sauced sommelier (played by Thomas Lennon of "Reno 911") and a hero pilot portrayed by Will Forte. With the mix of real people and fake, it ends up being an amusing half hour, but it takes a while to acquire the taste.
The biggest thing in English TV from what I could tell in a visit earlier this year, were a slew of quiz shows in which the answers aren't as important as the jokes that toe comedians enlisted to play come up with. That's the case too in "Bunk" (IFC, 10:30 p.m.), where Kurt Braunohler gooses a revolving cast of barely known comics and comedy writers into absurdist answers, the weirder of which are declared winners (quite arbitrarily). Bigger prize is being funniest.
It's not enough to have "Whale Wars" (Animal Planet, ), now we have to have "Seal Wars" (Animal Planet, 7 p.m.) as well? Can't we all get along?
"DC Cupcakes: Take New York" (TLC, 10 p.m.) gives a taste of Georgetown to the big apple.
Susan Burke, John Waters, E.J. Dionne, Michael Brendan Dougherty and Dambisa Moyo are guests on a new "Real Time with Bill Maher" (HBO, 10 p.m.) after a week's break.
All reruns on network TV except for the news magazines, "Dateline" (NBC, 9 p.m.) and "20/20" (ABC, 10 p.m.).
On cable, there are new episodes of "Fairly Legal" (USA, 9 p.m.) and "Common Law" (USA, 10 p.m.).
Karl pontificates on the medical profession on a new episode of "The Ricky Gervais Show" (HBO, 9 p.m.).
The singing comedy duo "Garfunkel and Oates" (Comedy Central, 11:30 p.m.) get a half hour comedy special.
Norah Jones engages in the latest "VH1 Storytellers' (VH1, 11 p.m.).
From the producers of "Gold Rush" comes what the hope will be another Friday night hit, "Deadly Seas" (Discovery, 9 p.m.) based on what other show, I wonder?
On the season finale of "Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country" (CMT, 9 p.m.), she has to defend herself against invading press demanding to know about her split with husband Peter Facinelli.
There are always those people who would deny "Global Weirding" (Science, 10 p.m.).
Four female firefighters in California are followed in the new "Lives on Fire" (OWN, 9 p.m.).
"Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids" (TLC, 9 p.m.) reaches a season finale. Everybody must be happy with the dress by now
Creepy old mansions are the theme on Turner Classic Movies, with "The Spiral Staircase" (8 p.m.), "The Innocents" (9:30 p.m.), "The Black Cat" (11:15 p.m.) and "Gaslight" (12:30 a.m.).

Lifetime's UnREAL has cast its black bachelor.
Agents of SHIELD's B.J. Britt will take on the series-regular role, the cable network announced late Wednesday.
In its second season, the drama's Bachelor-like reality-show-within-the-show, Everlasting, will feature something the ABC flagship never has: an African-American bachelor.
Britt will play Darius Hill, a professional quarterback and Everlasting's first African-American suitor, marking a huge get for Quinn (Constance Zimmer) and Rachel (Shiri Appleby). With a million-dollar smile, sweetness and swagger, Darius is the whole package, and the ladies swoon. Hoping to charm his way out of a PR scandal, Darius has no idea that the ride he's about to take on Everlasting will change his life forever.
Related Stories
The casting comes after UnREAL producers told the press at TCA that they're taking diversity seriously. "We don't want to fall asleep at the wheel," co-creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro told reporters. "In an era where driving while black is dangerous, there are few more things more pressing than this conversation. We really want to keep talking about stuff that we're passionate about."
The Bachelor has come under fire for not featuring an African-American bachelor — or bachelorette, for that matter — over the ABC reality staple's 14-year run. However, Shapiro said that race will play a big part of the upcoming second season — a particularly topical discussion in the midst of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
(ABC, for its part, told the press this week that the upcoming season of The Bachelorette in the summer likely would feature a diverse lead.)

Ant's rally not enough to save Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves lost their first game of the season on Monday night but they can hang on their hat on the future of Anthony Edwards.
The rising superstar got off to a tough start against the New Orleans Pelicans but exploded for 21 points in the third quarter of a 107-98 defeat.
The early moments of the game were dominated by New Orleans as it used a 14-0 run between the first and second quarters to jump out to an early lead.
A key component of the run was their defense toward Edwards, who was held to two points in the first half as Minnesota went into the locker room down 54-43 at halftime.
The Pelicans' lead swelled to 21 points in the third quarter before Edwards made his first field goal of the game with 8:33 to go. The 3-pointer was a catalyst as Edwards created excitement on both ends of the floor and finished the run with a coast-to-coast slam that cut the Pelicans' lead down to 68-61.
Edwards finished the night with 28 points but the Wolves couldn't match the physicality that the Pelicans brought on Monday night. New Orleans had four players in double figures including Jonas Valanciunas, who put up 22 points and 23 rebounds in the paint.
Karl-Anthony Towns enjoyed a similar night with 32 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists but it wasn't enough as the Timberwolves suffered their first loss of the season.
Even as the Wolves fell entered the loss column, Edwards provided some optimism. With the ability to take over a game, Edwards showed another reason why he can develop into a superstar and carry Minnesota moving forward.
