Financially handicapped Lebanon suffered a further blow in a new tussle with regional giant Saudi Arabia along with other wealthy Gulf states who expelled their Lebanese envoys. The crisis erupted Friday when Saudi Arabia gave Lebanon's ambassador 48 hours to leave the country, recalled its envoy from Beirut and suspended all imports from Lebanon.
The Saudi foreign ministry said the measures were taken after "insulting" statements made by a Lebanese minister on the Yemen war, but also due to the influence of Lebanon's Iran-backed Shiite movement Hezbollah. The group, it said, controls Lebanese ports and "hijacks" the government's decision-making in Beirut. The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait were quick to show their support to Saudi Arabia and followed suit.
Saudi Arabia also banned Lebanese imports as the oil-rich Gulf states, which Lebanon had turned to in the past for financial support, pulled their diplomats and expelled Beirut's representatives after the country's information minister refused to apologise for criticism of the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
The current crisis is a crippling blow to Lebanon, a country in deep financial and political ruin with a fragile and corrupt government that is struggling to secure financial aid, primarily from wealthy Arab neighbours. The remarks by Information Minister Georges Kordahi, in an interview recorded in August and aired on Monday, slamming the Saudi-led military intervention against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, undermined these efforts. With Lebanon in middle of an economic and financial crisis, which according to the World Bank is one of the world's worst since the 1850s, this diplomatic row becomes all the more damaging.
Gulf investors were key in the reconstruction of Beirut after Lebanon's bloody 15-year civil war ended in 1990. The Gulf is also an important job market for Lebanese workers who send vital remittances back home. Saudi Arabia was Lebanon's fourth-largest export market in 2019, the year the economic crisis started and the latest for which data are available, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity, which tracks global trade flows.
Exports to Saudi Arabia were worth $282m in 2019 and $200m in 2020, an important source of hard currency for Lebanon, whose crisis is partly due to years of running a current account deficit that amounted to 25 per cent of gross domestic product. But this has been a torrid year for relations between the two nations, which hit a low point in 2017, when then prime minister Sa'ad Hariri was briefly detained in Riyadh and forced to resign temporarily.
Saudi Arabian citizens are forbidden to travel to Lebanon. In April, Riyadh banned Lebanese agricultural goods in retaliation for drugs being trafficked into Saudi Arabia in shipments of Lebanese fruit and vegetables. Cash-strapped Lebanon is desperate for international funding to help it recover from its debilitating economic depression, which the World Bank has said is likely to be one of the world's worst in 150 years.
Lebanon is the smallest country in continental Asia and their financial woes and image are taking a battering globally. Lebanese economic growth has slowed consistently since 2011 following the Syrian conflict and internal political tensions. They have experienced a sharp decline in 2019 and 2020. Financial difficulties were compounded with a political catastrophe and led to dangerous social remonstrations. As the Lebanese economy was already severely destabilised, the civil unrest, together with the August explosion in Beirut's port and the COVID-19 outbreak, has created a profound and long-term impact on the country's socio-economic resilience.
According to the IMF's updated October 2020 forecast, GDP growth is projected at -25% in 2020. The traditional engines of growth in Lebanon (real estate, construction and tourism) have stalled and the banking sector, which until now has been praised for its resilience, has collapsed. In fact, on 9 March Lebanon failed to repay a $1.2 billion Eurobond, the first sovereign default in the country's history.
The country's currency has collapsed to amongst the weakest in the world and the value is so low that nobody knows what Lebanon's currency is worth anymore. Public debt was estimated at 171.7% in 2020, according to IMF figures updated in October 2020. Lebanon is the third most indebted country in the world, after Japan and Greece. The already high budget deficit has worsened to -12.8% of GDP in 2020. High public debt and a persistent overall deficit limited government action during economic downturns and following the COVID-19 crisis. The IMF estimates inflation at a record high of 85.5% in 2020.

Post a Comment
Welcome to the dark corner of BIOS reverse engineering, code injection and various modification techniques only deemed by those immensely curious about BIOS
You can check the latest state of the book in this post: http://bioshacking.blogspot.com/2011/03/latest-state-of-bios-disassembly-book.html
Great news! waiting to grab a copy!
When is your deadline? When do you expect it to be published? Any hints for where to find your 1st edition? Will your material cover the BIOS of any laptops? (Am interested in DELL in particular.)
Thanks, looking forward to it too.
Actually, it's February. but looking at the current progress, it would probably be pushed back to March. I expect the 2nd edition of the book to be available in stores in April. Well, the samples would be PC based for the moment because I don't have enough time to screw-up and experiment with Laptop BIOS. I'll post it here if there is any change on that plan.
Does it also come out as an e-book version (epub or pdf)?
Yes, I think so.
What is so different about laptop BIOS that you haven't really worked with them to date? Is it just because you don't have laptops around to play with, or is it because they're more of a tightly integrated package, and thus have more proprietary stuff, since they're not meant to plug into a variety of components like on a desktop?
Laptops contain an embedded controller (a kind of microcontroller) which controls the motherboard and of course the booting process. These embedded controllers are motherboard-specific and mostly proprietary. It's very hard to modify Laptop BIOS because of this without breaking it. I haven't had the time to research it thoroughly as well.
I have the First Edition (it was hard to come by). How about including some deeper explanation videos on the CD?
Hi jb, the second edition will not come with a CD but you'll be able to download the source code in the book. A video would be nice. However, it's not planned for the book. I might provide it later not officially as part of the book.
Hello, Darmawan.
April was coming on... Would "BIOS Disassembly Ninjutsu 2nd edition" be in English only or in Russian too?
It will be in English. I'll try to arrange for Russian edition later. (and probably Chinese too)
Thank you for the quick answer. Where (amazon,safari,lulu and etc.) and when can I buy your book?
Hi, you'll be able to buy it at Amazon and many others outlets where No Starch Press sell them. About the time frame, the progress hits some problems recently because my publisher wants to target a much broader audience which means a lot of rework. I'll post more about it when I'm done. Maybe it'll be June before the book comes out.
I've been waiting eagerly for the second edition, because it's impossible to get a copy of the first edition ($200 at amazon!). It's too bad there isn't even a preview online. Don't suppose you over digital copies for people if they help you with the rewrites? :-)
The wait will pay off. That's all I can say because the new edition will not be "just a rewrite" but will be a rather different "animal", which should be much easier to understand than the previous one. PS: I'm in the middle of nowhere (Indonesia), so I can't do anything about it right now.
Can I pre-order? When will it be available?
Any word on a release date for the second edition?
Hello all, The book has been delayed due to some problems with my publisher. I might change publisher if the publisher and me cannot find workable solution to move things forward. I'll keep you posted guys.
Thanks for the update. I tried to order from two overseas bookshops with no luck. Months later, I still don't have your first edition. I would really love to read your material. I'll be first in line when its ready.
Where should I look for notification when the book is ready? Should I keep checking here or is there another blog I should follow?
Just check it out here. Well, there has been some problems lately. But, I'll keep you informed guys.
Have you thought about self publishing using a service like lulu.com?
Hello Will,
I've been thinking about it for a while. I may choose to do that.
Anyway, I have terminated my contract with No Starch Press for the moment to concentrate on adding more UEFI contents to the book and to look for other opportunity to publish the book faster. There's nothing wrong with No Starch Press (NSP). It's just NSP is short on man power to help me on the editing side.
I'm not really sure yet, how long until the book will be available, but looking at the current situation, it could be another 3-4 months because I have to raise funds to carry out the experiments for the book.
Sorry about the delay guys.
Thanks for the response. I will definitely be looking for it. I have searched the net and you are the best teacher on the subject I have found. I hope you can get the funding you need and the editing you require. Do you need motherboards to test with?
hi when exactly 2ed release?
Hope I am not bugging you but I was wondering if you have any copies of the first edition you would not mind selling. Let me know..
Hi Will,
Unfortunately, I don't have one that I can sell at the moment (the one I have is for my reference). I suggest you to just wait because right now I have been in contact with Luis Miras who would be the editor and I'm back with No Starch Press.
Cool thanks for the update
Hey..hope all is well....any word on the book?
Yes, I'll have Luis Miras as the editor. This month hopefully everything will be restarted very quickly.
Cool I'll wait and I'll check back in another month.
Any release date? I would buy the e-book edition as a preference ...
Any good news?
Any good news?
I hope I am not asking you too much about the book. I have reason to believe my laptop was infected by BIOS manipulation in the past. I want to learn how it was done so I can further understand the BIOS backups I created. I am new to this level of programming but I will pick it up. You don't have to post this message. I just wanted you to know.
Hello Will,
I'm trying to get it done ASAP. I'm heavily overworked at the moment.
Hello..I hope all is well. Any luck on the book?
Hi Will,
I could only say it's a work in progress. It has been very slow these last few months due to other work. But, it will definitely pick-up steam next month.
I hear the the tsunami is headed in your area (looked at your profile)....hope you and your loved ones are safe.
Hi Will,
Well yeah, thanks. Everything is fine here. I live in the southern island and moreover in a city located in a rather mountainous area. The tsunami comes from the north, so only islands on the northern part would be affected. I believe the effect here must be less than during the 2004 tsunami coz it was very close.
Hello...hope all is well...how is the book coming?
Hello...is the book ready yet?
no not yet. I'm still researching the content. Enormous amount of materials need to be prepared because of the "tectonic" shift in BIOS to UEFI migration. For example there are more compiled rather than assembled code..
thanks for your BIOS Book - There are still Award/AMI Bios Machines out there, so this book is still worth.
PS; Why don't you do - like many OpenSource projects - a Paypal Donate button on your site?

Eminem - Psychopath Killer Şarkı Sözleri
Psychopath Killer
I'm the devil - if ever there was such a thing
The results of much too many drugs what you're seeing
I'm a mindfuck, completely this-(gus)-ting
I'm (white), a human mutt, fuck a being
I'm a dog - fuck lambs, I'm silencin 'em all
I'm involved in murders forensic science couldn't solve
Giant set of balls too big to buy a set of drawers
Might as well unzip my fly and let 'em fall to the floor
Each thought's completely warped
I'm like a walkin, talkin, ouija board
Speakin in tongues, I've never spoke this speech before
.. Hhem-delle-la, ennich-me-noughh-mi-niche-mick-norr..
Have you ever experienced spirits in lyrics when you hear 'em
'til you scared to stare in into any mirrors when you near 'em?
Well if so, get ready for some shit yo
"Is this some kind of sick joke?" shit no, motherfuckin schitzo
So disturbed, he just goes so berzerk he tiptoes
Fist first with scissors to slit throats of just hoes
Just goes to shizzow you dizzon't, fizzuck with
So-someone this disturbed, sa-sippin on si-zzurp
So - lock your doors, drop to the floors
Get your shotguns drawn - here comes another "Clockwork Orange"
Look at Bizarre; you really think he's right in his mind?
What the fuck you think's goin through it when he's writin his rhyme?
You bout to - journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller
Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his silent screams
You bout to - journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller
Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his violent screams
It's Friday night, I'm at a rave again
Pickin up transvestites on my Harley-Davidson (hey hop on)
My girlfriend's a crackhead whore
She'll come to your door, suck your dick on the floor
And take your bottles to the store (nigga I'm takin these)
Have you ever seen a bitch get beat because she won't cheat
Run the street and suck another nigga's meat?
My son's sixteen years old with nowhere to stay (dad it's me)
I told him he wasn't mine, slammed the door in his face
And I ain't got no food, my job I've been cheated
My girlfriend had a miscarriage (I'm sorry) I had to eat it (ohh)
My dick is burnin, it ain't cause of disease
Because I'm jackin off with gasoline mixed with antifreeze (Ahh!)
I'm livin in Waco Texas, me and my girl
Fuck David Koresh, I'm startin my own world
It's called Bizarre Cemetary, it's scary
Eatin a virgin's cherry, they're all gonna laugh at you Carey

The Lord rehearsed my birth, I'm the worst breed
A nigga you ever set sight on, my right arm's
Got more power than Dragon's python so
"Journey into the mind of a psychopath killer"
(Light yo' ass like a liquid nitro-gas spiller
Psycho slash Michael Myers, Michael Jack's "Thriller"
Rifle slash knife faggot that's your "Cop Killer")
As a yung'un, I was beat where I was livin (aight)
Crossdressed just to get thrown in the women's prison
I guess I was just stressed to be a hoodlum
Being pressed caused the stress that caused the Ritalin
Pressed stressed and Ritalin caused the cop's feelings
To be hurt after they seen what I did to those children
I'm vulgaric, you Bo Derek; I throw you face flat off the terrace
So you can have somethin to stare at
Bu şarkı sözü

CSS Variables and mixins, Interactive Validation and pre-rendering
Published on in Google Chrome, HTML, Last Week, tech, WebKit. Version: Chrome 10
With 1,134 commits in the last week, development certainly is getting back on track after the holidays. This week's highlights include some plans for improving the CSSOM, implementation plans for CSS Variables and the landing of Interactive Validation within WebKit. I won't address H.264. Enough people have done that.
If you're interested in updates related to HTML, Anne van Kesteren published an item on recent changes happening around the WHATWG. The article mostly covers discussions which took place on the email@example.com mailing list, and certainly is an interesting read!
Tab Atkins, member of the CSS Working Group and the Google Chrome team, has published the slides of a presentation he hosted last Wednesday. It talks about how the CSSOM, the interface between JavaScript and CSS, basically sucks. The presentation demonstrates four relatively new concepts:
- CSS Variables
By declaring a variable through the @var rule, its type and the value, anything from colors to lengths, rotations and functions can be defined and will be available to all CSS used in the document. Support for local variables will be available as well, through the @local at-rule.
@var petersh-paragraph-size length 12px;
@var petersh-paragraph-color color rgba(0,0,0,0);
p {
. color: var(petersh-paragraph-color);
. font-size: var(petersh-paragraph-size);
- CSS Mixins
Mixins come down to being able to extend any rule with certain, common properties. They take parameters similarly to CSS Variables, including the ability to have default values for them. - CSS Nesting
Nesting in CSS, especially when used without classes or IDs, can be a pain. The @this at-rule will be introduced for usage in CSS rules. The selector you supply behind it will apply only to descendants of elements matched by the current rule. That clears the way for structures like this:
header {
. color: red;
. @this a {
. . color: blue;
. }
- CSS Modules
No, not the CSS Modules which make up CSS Level 3. CSS Modules basically are namespaces for CSS Variables and Mixins. Mixins and variables can still be referred to by prepending their name with the namespace's name, or by including the @use at-rule to have the parser include all of them.While the idea is fine, I personally think this shouldn't be part of the specification. The use-case is easily obtainable by advocating authors to prefix their variable names, like "petersh-header-color" instead of "header-color". Two types of namespacing, sharing similar syntax, is just going to cause confusion.
While the current code is only available on a few machines in Sydney, Google is planning to publish an initial specification this quarter, and implement the changes before the end of the year. Considering neither these plans for CSS Variables nor the CSS Mixins and Nesting have been shared on the www-style mailing list yet, it'll be interesting to see how it will be received by other vendors. Related discussion from a few years ago has shown that it's a fairly controversial issue, with many opinions being far apart.
Last Thursday, Kent Tamura landed support for the Interactive Validation UI using the new Shadow DOM model. With most bugs out of the way, messages and an –albeit internal– API being available for Chromium to enable the feature, it won't be long before it becomes available in the nightlies.
In other specification-related news, the scroll event will now be fired asynchronously. The WebKitCSSMatrix object in the DOM now accepts none as a valid keyword, and using the toDataURL method for a canvas on Chromium will now composite onto a black surface when the destination format does not support an alpha channel.
Other changes which happened last week:
- Tony Gentilcore now is a WebKit reviewer, congratulations!
- Adam Barth is working on a proposal for embedding a security policy in an HTML document.
- He also announced to have finished moving WebKit's source files to a separate directory.
- The about:sync page has been updated to use the new DOM UI displaying system.
- The media player from WebKit's GTK port now features a slider to change the volume.
- Simon Fraser wrote an excellent article on his CSS3 Gradients implementation.
- Support for dropping data to WebKit2 has been implemented for Mac OS systems.
- Password synchronization has been enabled by default for Google Chrome.
- Some issues with Safari's strict mode implementations have been fixed.
- The security model used chrome://-URLs has been updated, as described in this message.
- Three fixes in Safari's JavaScript engine found via Mozilla's jsfunfuzz.
- Crashed extensions will now be visible on the chrome://extensions page.
- Following this very commit, the –enable-page-prerender will now actually pre-render your pages.
- Chris Rogers added part of the Chromium-side for low-latency output for the Web Audio API.
And that's all for this week!

Welcome to the website of Marine Biopolymers Ltd (or as we call it MBL) and here you will learn more about us, what we do now and what we are going to do in the future.
In many parts of the world, seaweed is a well-known and widely used material which confers a wide range of "human benefits", and we not only want to acknowledge that but we also want to go further and help unlock the hidden treasures that are the different components of seaweeds. By being able to extract the individual components of seaweed which have specific properties, we can develop them into a range of valuable products for a surprisingly broad range of end uses, and with enhanced "human benefits".
These products are, and will be, MBL's marine biopolymers, and our ambition is not only that we can develop products that we have already identified with enhanced "human use" benefits but that we continue to seek out new ones on an on-going basis.

In The Nation, art critic Barry Schwabsky, an American living in England, writes:
In recent decades the philosophy of art has been much preoccupied with the enigma of why a given object does or doesn't count as a work of art. Since the challenge of Duchamp's Fountain and other readymades, according to the Belgian writer Thierry de Duve, the form of aesthetic judgment has undergone a shift: from "this is beautiful" to, simply, "this is art." For the philosopher, art status is like a light switch, either on or off. But the everyday art world is nothing like that, which is why the sociologist Howard Becker complains that the philosopher's art world "does not have much meat on its bones." For Becker, as for artists, collectors and critics, whether something is a work of art or not is the least of it. In the sociologist's art world, hierarchies, rankings and orders of distinction proliferate. Status and reputation are all, and questions about them abound. Why does the seemingly kitschy work of Jeff Koons hang in great museums around the world while the equally cheesy paintings of Thomas Kinkade would never be considered?...
The same kinds of question could be asked in other fields, but in the art of the past hundred years or so such questions have been of the essence: art is the field that exists in order for there to be contention about what art is. And such questions are not just for the cognoscenti; they've caught the fancy of a broad public as well. Once the man in the street saw a Picasso painting and said, "My kid could do better." Today, that child has grown up and is bemused but no longer outraged to read that a shark in a fish tank is worth a fortune but has been generously loaned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Now he admires, at least grudgingly, the clever scamp who could orchestrate that, and finds the whole affair rather interesting to talk about--even if the object itself might not, he suspects, be much to look at.
The idea that the man in the street talks about Damien Hirst or anyone else of his ilk is a very London-centric notion. On my walks, I drop in sometimes at the two local art galleries, which sell mostly to mid-level entertainment industry people concerned with impressing other entertainment industry people. Neither gallery would touch a stuffed shark. They sell mostly representational or quasi-representational paintings by living artists that are fairly attractive -- stuff that would be pleasant (or at least tolerable) to have in your house. There's more professional visual talent in LA -- directors of photography, set decorators, costume designers, editors, special effects directors, lighting men, etc. -- than probably anywhere else in the world. And the contemporary art scene is of little interest here.
This is not to say that at the high end of the LA social scale, the values of the contemporary art world are not upheld. For example, LA's community-leader-for-life, billionaire real estate developer Eli Broad, has used his vast wealth to scar the city with his hideous artistic taste:
This is the enormous sculpture that Broad paid to have implanted outside the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. From one angle, it looks like a chicken's skeleton made out of old airplane parts. I guess its prominent position is supposed to be an "ironic" reference to Los Angeles's historic role in the airplane industry. It's a whole bunch of twisted airplane parts scrambled together like the worst airplane crash in the history of the world. My father, a stress engineer at Lockheed, spent 40 years squinting at microscopic photographs of metal fatigue precisely to prevent beautiful airplanes from turning into abortions like this -- because in the real crashes he investigated, where he spent weeks picking parts out swamps and wheat fields to figure out why the plane went down, intertangled with the metal bits were scraps of human flesh.
Schwabsky goes on to allude to the fact that the question of what get's called "art" in our culture is less philosophical than sociological:
One unusual aspect of the art world--at least among the people who buy art rather than make it--goes unmentioned by Thornton, although a number of her interlocutors subtly allude to it: the fact that, at least in the United States and England, art's collectorship is heavily Jewish, and perhaps to a lesser extent, so is its "administration." Consider that in London, the unprecedented intensity of interest in contemporary art might never have happened were it not for the efforts of two men, both Jewish: the Iraqi-born collector Charles Saatchi and Nicholas Serota, the director of the Tate Gallery. One collector compares an evening sale at Christie's to "going to synagogue on the High Holidays. Everybody knows everybody else, but they only see each other three times a year, so they are chatting and catching up." A Turner Prize judge compares art to the Talmud: "an ongoing, open-ended dialogue that allows multiple points of view." Thornton observes the director of Art Basel, the world's most important contemporary art fair, making his round of the stands: he shmoozes his clients, the dealers, in French, Italian and German, and, Thornton observes, "I believe I even heard him say 'Shalom.'"The implicitly Jewish ethos surely feeds into the feeling that the art world is somehow set apart, part of the establishment perhaps but only "in a funny sense."It's important to keep in mind that the Museum of Modern Art in NYC is a high WASP creation -- the founding committee met in John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s living room.
Still, it's not just Jewish buyers, but also Jewish critics, too, who determine "what is art" these days, as Tom Wolfe pointed out in his wonderful little book The Painted Word a third of a century ago. Rather than write about three famous gentile painters of the 1940s-1960s, Pollock, Rauschenberg, and Johns, he wrotes about the three Jewish critics, Greenberg, Rosenberg, and Steinberg, respectively, who explained why we should care about them.
And for awhile, Americans did care about contemporary art. Time and Life used to run detailed coverage of the New York art scene when I was a kid. But now, the near-universal opinion in America is that contemporary art of the airplane crash sculpure variety is not just a joke, but an unfunny joke, so nobody pays any attention anymore. Now that Dave Barry has retired, I almost never hear about the British Turner Prize anymore in American publications.
I suspect that one reason that the contemporary art scene in Britain is going stronger than in America is because Britain has fewer Jews, so contemporary art got a later start as a big whoop-tee-doo, so the public hasn't gotten quite as sick of it yet.
The basic problem is that Jews tend to be cognitively stronger with words than with images, so they are better at making up theories about why a stuffed shark is art rather than determining which art objects are beautiful and which are not. (To see how stark the ethnic cognitive divide is, look at lists of nominees for the Oscar in Best Cinematography vs. the Oscar nominees for Best Adapted and Best Original screenplays.)
When artistic status is largely determined by critics and collectors who, on average, come from a culture where people are cognitively stronger with words and numbers than with images, who are better at making up verbal theories than at painting pictures, you get in-joke art for people who want other people to notice that they are smart enough to get the joke.
My pet peeve, of course, is that golf course architecture, which functions exactly like a traditional art form, is never considered "art." (The pictures are from the Cypress Point Golf Club, designed in the 1920s by Alister MacKenzie.) Golf course architecture has had its ups and downs, but it hasn't driven itself into a ditch like contemporary art. For once, the WASP upper class, which runs the United States Golf Association, didn't lose it head. It kept sending the U.S. Open back to the great pre-1930 courses, keeping alive old standards of excellence.
Thus, here's the last course designed by Mike Strantz, the remake of the Monterey Peninsula Shore Course, before his death at age 50 in 2005 (golf course architecture has needed a romantic hero who died young):
Cognitive ability makes a big difference in art criticism. For instance, I have a decent two-dimensional visual capability (I can often figure out the designer of an unknown golf course I see from an airplane), but I'm weak at three dimensions. For a long time, this lack didn't stop me from confidently sounding off about golf course architecture. But as I've gotten to know the inner circle of golf architecture aficionados over the last few years, people like electrician Tommy Naccarato, one of the most influential amateur enthusiasts in the country, who has on file in his brain 3-d maps of thousands of golf holes, I've found myself with less to say on the subject as I better grasp my shortcomings. It's not just that they've worked harder at understanding golf course architecture than I have, but that they're smarter at it than I'll ever be.

Recently, The New York Sun posted a response by Ron Paul to the question of whether the US should sell its gold to pay its debt. His typically principled answer was that it would be "a good and moral decision. An individual would have to do the same." What followed was an outpouring of protestations from proponents of both fiat currencies and sound money alike.
Why are so many people from both sides of the monetary debate against such a proposal? The answer is simple: Everyone understands that gold is the basis of the global monetary and banking systems regardless of whether there exists a formal stated relationship. The US Government's ability to print the world's reserve currency, and run massive deficits every year, is at least in part due to its substantial gold reserves. From that standpoint, the administration's outright rejection of such a proposal makes perfect sense.
What ultimately makes less sense is the outrage coming from the gold community. Of course I understand why some are upset. They envision a future return to a gold standard in which the US Dollar can be formally redeemed for some fixed weight of gold. Something that would be impossible if the Treasury were to sell the gold that would be used for such a purpose. But, let's back up for a moment.
Why is a Dollar gold standard even desirable? The usual answer is that it prevents inflation of the money supply and the theft of purchasing power. It also returns power to the American people who can effectively rein in reckless fiscal policies by exchanging all of their dollars for gold. All worthy goals, I agree. But, the fact is we've already done that experiment, and it was a hopeless failure.
The first fundamental problem is that our system of fractional reserve banking is incompatible with a gold standard. The majority of the nation's money supply exists not as physical currency but as credit created by banks when making a loan. New gold does not appear at Fort Knox every time a bank lends out its demand deposits. Making a bad system worse, the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 unleashed an engine of inflation so powerful that the gold standard was helpless against it. The roaring twenties were testament to the size of the credit expansion as was the inevitable bust of the thirties. This brings us to the second fundamental problem: Governments always renege on obligations that threaten their power.
Not only did the federal government end the Dollar convertibility to gold in 1933; they actually made it a felony to even possess gold. In fact, much of the gold listed on the Treasury's balance sheet today is gold that was taken from the American people after the gold standard had failed. So what good is a gold standard again? And why is it so important that the government retains its stolen loot?
The reality is, if you want to stop theft through inflation, and put the reins on out of control federal spending, then you are simply going to have to get the US Government out of the money business and turn it back over to the free market where it belongs. Fittingly enough, this is exactly what Ron Paul's "Free Competition in Currency Act" sets out to do. It accomplishes this through three primary initiatives: First, it repeals legal tender laws which allows all debts to be settled with Dollars even when contracted in gold; second, it ends the government monopoly on coining money; and third, it eliminates capital gains taxes on gold and silver.
With these obstacles out of the way it is then possible for individuals and businesses to use whatever money they see fit for their transactions. How would the 'barbarous relic' of gold be used in the digital age? Quite easily, as it turns out. Already, around the world, private companies are offering Digital Gold Currencies (DGC). A 100% backing is provided by gold stored in vaults. Clients own the gold in their accounts and may transact directly with other account holders in any quantity they like.
As the DGCs grow in popularity, expect to see a debit card system put in place where retail purchases can be made using gold. Eventually businesses transacting in gold will offer to pay employees with gold, digitally, in their accounts. At that point, fiat money printed by central banks will suffer from dramatically reduced appeal.
Of course individuals will have to perform due diligence in selecting what money they choose to use. But that is part of the checks and balances of a free market. Without this, moral hazard creeps into the system. Companies will compete, in part, on the basis of transparency and accountability. Even the hint of impropriety could be disastrous for a company as it could literally lose its client base overnight. No system is perfect, but free market money offers Americans a much better chance of retaining their purchasing power than what is currently provided by the US Government and the Federal Reserve.
We have lived in a system of government issued money for so long now that most Americans don't even realize there is an alternative. Individuals calling for a return to the gold standard don't realize it, but what they are really calling for is free market money, and as such, it is far more important for individual Americans to own gold than it is for their government to do so.

Pityriasis Rosea
What is Pityriasis Rosea?
Pityriasis Rosea is a rather common skin disease in which round or oval, scaling pink patches develop mainly on the trunk of the body, upper arms, and thighs. In many cases the eruption begins with a single scaling patch (commonly called the "herald patch"), followed 1 – 2 weeks later by development of the widespread rash. The herald patch resembles ringworm, and thus is often confused with it. Pityriasis Rosea most commonly occurs in older children and teenagers but can appear at any age. It often occurs in seasonal epidemics during the Spring and Fall, but may develop as an isolated case at any time. Pityriasis Rosea symptoms are treated by DoctorFullName for patients in PracticeRegion.
What causes Pityriasis Rosea?
The cause of Pityriasis Rosea is not known. Because of its tendency to occur in seasonal epidemics and because of its rather predictable course, it is thought to be caused by a viral infection. If the disease is contagious at all, it is only slightly so, since multiple cases occurring at the same time within families are seen only very rarely.
What is the natural course of Pityriasis Rosea?
Pityriasis Rosea lasts from 6 – 12 weeks and then disappears leaving no scars. Since many patients are first seen in the early stage of their disease, their condition may appear to worsen considerably before it begins to improve. Typically, the eruption will peak in about 2 weeks and slowly diminish over the following month. Usually the face, forearms, and hands are not heavily involved, though there are exceptions. In most persons the condition is not particularly uncomfortable or inconvenient.
Naturally, you should contact DoctorName if your condition becomes much worse or if it does not seem to follow the pattern described above.
How is Pityriasis Rosea treated?
No limitation of activities is required. You do not need to stay home. Treatment is for relief of symptoms only and does not alter the overall course of the disease. Sometimes the rash is itchy. In that case, a prescription anti-itch cream or lotion to be applied to the uncomfortable areas may be provided to patients. Scrubbing the affected areas with soap or a wash cloth or the use of very hot water for bathing or showering will generally worsen the itching of Pityriasis Rosea. These should be avoided.

The QaFoo blog has a new post today showing you how to use Mink with PHPUnit. Mink is a testing tool that allows you to write tests as if they were happening through a browser.
Another day for a short PHPUnit trick. If you want to use PHPunit to control a browser for functional or acceptence tests, then you can easily do this using the Mink library. Mink is well known from the Behat community to facilitate Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD), but it is a standalone library that can be used with PHPUnit just as easily.This is more flexible than using dedicated browser abstractions such as Selenium directly from PHPunit, because you can switch between different implementations or even run tests with multiple implementations using the same code base.
They start with the command you'll need to get Mink installed via Composer (a simple require) and come example code for a test on the Wikipedia site (the page about PHP). They then refactor this a bit to remove the boostrapping of the Mink client into a reusable trait, making it simpler to use in other tests. They also refactor the test to use the trait and include the phpunit.xml
configuration needed to run it.

"Huddle Up: Let's Talk Obesity" aims to educate and inspire our members and men to open up about obesity and seek help. Many people may not be aware of the issues that impact their health when living with excess weight, which is why this campaign is so important.
Did You Know?
- Four out of 10 Americans live with obesity – that means we all know or love someone who may be struggling with their weight
- More than half of our NFL Alumni live with obesity yet only a small fraction thinks of their weight in this way
- Living with excess weight can lead to serious health issues like type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis and heart failure if not addressed
- People with obesity have a higher risk of severe illness or hospitalization from COVID-19
- Many factors beyond healthy eating and physical activity contribute to gaining excess weight, such as genetics, hormones, behavioral habits around sleep or stress and physical as well as social environments

Teen Parties in New York
KidsParties.Party hasn't forgotten about the older crowd. Whether you are hosting a formal event like a sweet 16 or want to make your teen feel special on their birthday, KidsParties.Party can connect you with entertainers and venues that specialize in parties for older kids in New York. Need some ideas? Scroll below for some suggestions.
Where to Host a Party for Your High Schooler
Learning how to drive, getting their first job, spending more time with friends and planning for their future. The parents of any teenager know that these are the years when your child is growing into an adult.
Just because they are in high school doesn't mean they are "too old" or "too cool" to celebrate their birthday at a fun venue. As a parent, how are you supposed to find a place to host their party that is safe, fun and won't bore your high schooler to death? Check out some of our suggestions below:
1. Family Fun Center: Laser tag, arcade games, bowling and all the snack food you can eat. What teen wouldn't want to spend their birthday playing the latest games with their friends? It's better than them playing video games at home all day, at least.
2. Teen Clubs: Many nightclubs and bars will allow you to rent out their location for a private party, while others are club-inspired venues that offer parties specifically for the under-21 crowd. These parties are a win-win for teens and their parents. They can dance to their favorite music and party with their friends, while you have the peace of mind knowing that these venues do not supply alcohol to minors and have measures in place to ensure everyone's safety.
3. Paintball: Spend the afternoon battling with your friends in guerrilla-style combat at your local paintball arena. Thrilling, challenging and active, your guests will be exhausted after spending all day running through the paintball courses.
4. Trampoline Arenas: Nobody is too old for trampolines. Trampoline arenas are indoor parks that are filled with wall-to-wall trampolines. Older kids can incorporate high-energy games into their parties, such as dodge ball or even a workout class, depending on what each venue offers.
5. Unique Restaurant: By the time your child is a teenager, hopefully they are no longer a picky eater. If they crave sushi or are obsessed with Ethiopian food, throw them a special birthday dinner for family and friends. Many restaurants have private rooms or special group menus available. Bring the cake with you and have the staff and guests sing happy birthday!
KidsParties.Party will help your find venues like the ones suggested about in your area of New York. If you need suggestions or recommendation, simply contact us or call 732-298-6015. We'd be happy to help your earn the reputation as "world's coolest parent."
Check out our birthday party blog!
We have come up with over a hundred affordable ways to make your child's birthday more special. Find tons of tips and party ideas our writers have put together just for you!
Are you an entertainer or kid party business?
We would love to get you listed today! Start by registering for an account.


text: The Treasury has announced that it plans to recognise stablecoins as a valid form of payment as part of a wider government initiative to 'make Britain a global hub for cryptoasset technology and investment'. The Treasury defines 'stablecoin' as 'a form of cryptoasset that is typically pegged to a fiat currency such as the dollar and is intended to maintain a stable value'. The government plans to bring stablecoins within regulation, creating conditions for stablecoin issuers and service providers to operate and invest in the UK. Commenting on the issue, Chancellor Rishi Sunak said: 'It's my ambition to make the UK a global hub for cryptoasset technology, and the measures we've outlined . . . will help to ensure firms can invest, innovate and scale up in this country. 'We want to see the businesses of tomorrow – and the jobs they create – here in the UK, and by regulating effectively we can give them the confidence they need to think and invest long-term.'

There's a good reason almost no software has been written in lisp. Lisp sucks. Not just lisp, but the whole way the logic is arranged as nested things. The simplest problem becomes a mind-bending puzzle.
Instead of easy to understand:I suppose it is futile to argue with an admittedly crazy person, but perhaps being forced to work with conditionals has made me crazy as well. A closer translation of the original code would be this:if (a equals b) { c = not d; } else { c = d + b; }You have this nested inner to outer logic where if is a function.c = if(equals(a,b), not(d), plus(d,b))The first is definitely more readible [sic] and it reads like we think of the logic. No one thinks of if as a function that takes three arguments, and forcing you to work that way just makes you crazy.
(if (equals a b) (setq c (not d)) (setq c (+ d b)))If these sorts of differences are a ``mind-bending puzzle'', perhaps the author should consider a career in the housekeeping or food-service industries.

Selfie Sunday says Thank You!
Selfie Sunday Batch 2 |
Time flies so fast when you are having fun. And "having fun" is an understatement in Selfie Sunday for I had a great time preparing each monthly posts this year. Not only did I marvel at each travel bloggers' fave Selfie Shot but I have also discovered interesting bits and pieces about them, of how travelers may be different, but also just the same in the end... for once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.. and that we are all happy to get infected until the end of our lives.
Oman @ The Hive |
Finally, I love this Selfie Photo at the Murals of Hive Hotel and was taken during a hotel staycation with my travel buddies. This artwork is located at the stairwell of the hotel connecting the function rooms with the hotel bar, Moustache. The retro design perfectly complements the retro vibe of the entire place.

Not only is chocolate delicious, it's one of the best sweets for your teeth. Chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth and can be eaten easily, which decreases the amount of time sugar stays in contact with teeth. And the calcium in the chocolate could help protect tooth enamel. But wait – it gets better. Chocolate (in moderation) is good for your overall health too! It's loaded with antioxidants, it has mood-boosting qualities and it may reduce stroke risk. In honor of National Chocolate Day, here are some healthy ways to have a delectable day – guaranteed to make all your chocolate dreams comes true! * Start your day with these chocolate muffins. Yes, you can have chocolate for breakfast! Especially when they're (secretly) filled with flax, pumpkin, prunes and chomp-worthy chocolate! * Continue the celebration with a DIY chocolate spa mask. This chocolate TREATment will moisturize, exfoliate and cleanse your skin. * After a nutritious dinner, it's time to whip up a decadent dessert. This dark chocolate bark provides a unique crunch, filled with protein-rich chia seeds and nuts. Take your *sweet* time to enjoy these treats a choco-LOT. But after your cocoa coma, remember to brush and floss your pearly whites.

Voice Evacuation System
Taking up the challenge of new possibilities for audio and video
A Wealth of Data And Know-How In Every System Design.
TOA not only produces amplifiers and speakers, but also the very sounds themselves. For the various sounds required by a project, TOA responds with total systems that include design, installation and management to provide the optimum sound for each installation. We design sound systems for a variety of spaces using precise sound field simulations and digital measuring technology to capture live sounds, while constantly referring back to our ever-growing accumulation of data and know-how.
A new relationship between sound and video imagery. In developing a seamless merger of business, TOA is pursuing unlimited possibilities
As we set out upon a new age, the needs of sound environment are changing, becoming easier to use, more comfortable, and more pleasant to human beings. With technology and vision one step ahead of the times, TOA is creating new areas of comfort for the new age. Applying our accumulated expertise, TOA aims to further evolve as a specialized sound producer, which actively making inroads into the field of video imagery. Advancing toward a seamless tomorrow of unified possibilities, we are promoting the development of new products that feature characteristics from both field. And, in combining them we will produce new values of sparkling originality.
Developing Security For The Network Age. Compatibility Between Real-Time Site Check And Quick, Sure Evacuation Guidance.
With the advances of computerization and networking, the importance of security to protect safety only increases, and quicker and surer systems are being sought. Based on know-how cultivated through the development of our surveillance television camera (CCTV) systems, TOA is developing the next generation of security systems, which will link-up with computer networks to realize borderless surveillance.
Compatibility Between Real-Time Site Check And Quick, Sure Evacuation Guidance.
The installation of an evacuation system for emergency situations is an inevitable issue in today's buildings, which are becoming larger and more complex. Here, too, TOA's original perspective is being put to good use. In the event of a fire, conventional emergency broadcast evacuation guidance is augmented by surveillance camera video information, making the audio evacuation guidance compatible with the video site check. In this way, TOA is working to ensure safety well into the future.
Creating sounds through elimination. New values by TOA in the pursuit of comfort
Active noise control is one of TOA's latest technologies in the advancement of sound creation to match the environment. Waveforms generated in the opposite phase of a detected noise cancel it out as the opposing sound waves hit each other, thereby cancelling noise with sound. TOA became the world's first manufacturer to succeed in commericalizing this technology to cancel out engine exhaust noise. Capitalizing on both its sound and digital signal processing technologies, TOA has made noise cancellation technology more useful for reducing industrial noise and the noise around us.
