With the development of new technologies, there has been an increased demand for cryptocurrencies. However, there are several interesting things that distinguish Zcash from other similar currencies, such as partnership with JPMorgan 1, through the open-source project Quorum. Zcach privacy technology could soon be applied to different crypto and blockchain networks, including Ethereum-based tokens. CoinMarketCap estimates that Zcash's global market cap is more than $960 million. 2
What is Zcash?
ZCash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency project that originated from the Zerocoin/Zerocash idea, proposed back in 2013. Zcash was forked out of Bitcoin and launched in October 2016, and it was previously known as Zerocoin.
It uses cryptography which in theory should provide privacy to its users. Cryptography aka cryptology analyses different protocols that prevent third parties, or the public, from reading private messages. 3
How is Zcash Different from Bitcoin?
Zcash is a Bitcoin fork. Because of that simple fact, they have a lot in common. There are two types of Zcash transactions: private and public (similar to BTC). When you download the official Zcash wallet, you will notice it offers two types of addresses: t-addr, your public address, and z-addr, your private address.
You can choose which one to use. Bitcoin transactions are fully transparent. Everyone can use a BTC block explorer to check if a transaction has been sent from one BTC address to another. Zcash is private if the user chooses a z-address. There is a special key view that can provide selective transparency.
According to the source, "Zcash offers total payment confidentiality, while still maintaining a decentralised network using a public blockchain. Unlike Bitcoin, Zcash transactions automatically hide the sender, recipient, and value of all transactions on the blockchain" 4.
How does Zcash Defend Its Privacy?
Being a decentralised and open-source cryptocurrency that offers privacy and selective transparency of transactions. Zcash payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient, and amount of transactions remain private.
Due to the encryption of the contents in the shielded transactions, the protocol uses a cryptographic method to prove transaction validity.
This method is called zk-SNARK. These constructions allow the network to maintain a secure ledger of balances without disclosing the parties or amounts involved. Instead of publicly demonstrating spend-authority and transaction values, the transaction metadata is encrypted, and zk-SNARKs are used to prove that nobody is cheating or stealing.
What are Pros and Cons of Privacy?
As we already explained, ZEC uses zk-SNARKs privacy protection technology.
Privacy Pros
- Sender's address is hidden;
- Recipient address is hidden;
- Amount sent is hidden.
We think that strict privacy is beneficial for companies that want to protect supply chain information from competitors, all individuals who don't want any payment information publicly known as well as wealthy people who don't want any of their activities publicly exposed.
Privacy Cons
Zcash uses a new form of cryptography. Nobody can guarantee that there are no bugs in the system that will make it possible to deanonymize transactions or create coins out of thin air unless it has been tested for years. So, if coins are being created, it will not even be detectable because, unlike Monero, you can't verify the total amount of coins in the ZCash blockchain.
The blockchain and the network keep track of the amount of coins that are shielded and don't care who unshields a portion later. The coins go into a big pool and when you pull a little piece out, there's no way to correlate it to what went into the pool. 5
How are New Zcash Coins Created?
They are created through a process called mining. It will take up until 2032 for all 21m coins to be mined. It basically started with $US1m, pre-funded by investors. Zcash was not pre-mined or ICO-funded like many other cryptoprojects. Instead, it follows a unique funding and distribution approach. 6
What is the ZEC Price Movement?
Source: ZECUSD daily chart, Admiral Markets MT5, Jun 2017 - Mar 2018
After a strong uptrend that began in September 2017, the price reached 800 ZEC/USD for a coin. Then, the price reversed towards 200 ZEC/USD and now, obviously, we see the support around 250 ZEC/USD. At this point, it looks like the uptrend might continue and buying the dips on the ZEC/USD might be a good option.

I just checked my performance for 2013 and as shown here I'm pleased to see that I managed to beat the S&P total return. In a nutshell: in 2013 I made €48,204 (Euros) with a €135,859 investment, equivalent to 35.5% versus 32.4% for the S&P total return. What makes me more happy is that it's the 6th year I could beat that index. What makes me even happier is that this year it was done with the biggest amount invested, therefore the gain is substantial in absolute terms. I do though worry because besides 2008 and specially 2009 none of the latest years' performance has been significantly higher than the S&P.
2013 has been a sabbatical year. I concentrated on doing things like spending time with my family and building my house. So basically this year I did little on the securities investing front. I did look at the market and kept an eye on my companies. Since I found no interesting new investments and no reason to sell I kept my portfolio basically intact. The gains from 2013 are mostly the result of investments from earlier years.
I had little activity, but it's worth mentioning it. I added 13 shares of CAF, a spanish train builder. Most of the shares were bought under 280 Euros (currently at 380). Some of them were for my sons, I manage money for 3 of them.
I recently liquidated my mother in law's portfolio. She needs the money to buy a new apartment. She had a very good result of around 60% for a period of a little more than 2 years while I managed some of her money.
I sold out my 20 RYAAY (Ryan Airlines) shares. I like the CEO and the company but I have learned to dislike the business enough to stay out of it. I sold them in May at 49 and the shares are currently at 47, I did not avoid a terrible drop but they did underperform the market quite a lot since back then. I had a bit over a 30% profit in a long time, with a small amount invested, so the investment was not good.
My 300 TLT shares short position was closed @107.98 by my broker by the end on October. TLT is currently at the same price so I have not lost anything by staying out of it. On the contrary, I saved the payment of dividends and interests on the short amount. I have been thinking, specially today, about reentering the trade by shorting TMF (Direxion Daily 20+ Year Trsry Bll 3X Shr) a leveraged fund. The good thing about it is that it allows me to invest much less on the short amount for the same possible return, therefore saving money on the short interests. The other good thing is that it hardly pays any dividend compared to TLT, there is a substantial saving there too. I still think that the long dated treasuries market is way overvalued and I plan to profit from it. The TLT short played out well even though it was closed (by luck) prematurely. I believe that there is still much more room for the treasuries to go down so I might soon enter that trade again, possibly with TMF this time.
I added a couple of VXX shares short by the end of August. I still think that VXX is designed to go to 0 and plan to keep shorting it indefinitely and add to my shorts at every possible opportunity when the volatility jumps a bit.
I sold out my small XHB (home builders fund) position (8 shares) by the end of May @32. It was a small legacy position that I had since before 2008 (the housing crash). I waited and sold out when it recovered its value. I normally dislike having funds and small positions so Im glad I got rid of it.
On the selling put options side I had some good results by closing some shorted puts after they became worthless. Like that I basically gained 1400 USD by closing in January 2013 a couple of Berkshire Hathaway strike 62.5 and strike 65 puts which had become worthless. I did the same in the 1st semester 2013 by closing a shorted strike 10 AMAT put and a strike 10 Dell put gaining 143 and 191 USD respectively. I also made some 120 USD by selling covered puts against my TLT short position, not much, but every amount, no matter how tiny, is always welcome.
On the forex side I basically made a bit under 600 Eur profit. Mostly by borrowing dollars to buy Dell shares when the dollar was quite low with respect to the Euro. When the Dell shares were converted to cash due to the privatization for the company I covered the dollar debt at a lower dollar price.
With Dell (without counting the 600 Eur profits from the dollars borrowed to enter the trade) I basically had a 5000 USD profit when the merger was consumed @13.75 by the end of October. I invested in average 1000 shares, the vast majority in 2012. The investment profit took around 18 months to materialize so it was quite a good one. 4250 USD were gained on stock appreciation, 550 on dividends and 191 on a shorted put.
The activity above produced results that are quite small compared to the appreciation of the companies I had from before. The best move in 2013 was basically to remain inactive and let the companies I admire and own run its course.
I think 2014 can be a tough year. I do not see much value left and even though the companies are not overvalued in average, the playing field starts to get tough. I am not used to play and profit in markets like this. So I am being cautious, to say the least. If I concentrate on something it will possibly be on reducing positions and following specially closely what I own.
That would be all for now, sorry for my past silence. I now feel that I have more time to dedicate to investments and I possibly will come back to them soon. For the time being I am doing one of the best investments I discovered: building a great house that I am shaping with love ! I do not want to publish pictures of it yet because I believe that a work of art should only be shown when it's completed so for the time being I will only show a rock I found that was obstructing our garden (I'm the one on the right) !
Best wishes for 2014 !

So October 2018 marks the end of the bucket cover for females in the Navy, but as usual with this service nothing is ever clear as it should be.
In the online regulations, it says that "As of 31 October 2018, the alternate and unisex Combination Covers are mandatory for wear by all female officers and chief petty officers."
OK, I understand what the Unisex Combination Cover is. But what is the "Alternate" combination cover? Is that another name for the men's combination cap when it's worn by a woman?
And the way this is worded makes it sound like TWO types of Combination covers are mandatory!

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Canada's indigenous peoples will not hesitate to use courts, political channels and activism to halt pipelines, mines or other resource projects they oppose, the new head of the country's main aboriginal group said on Thursday.
Perry Bellegarde, who was elected national chief of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) on Wednesday, said aboriginals do not oppose development in general, but want to be involved in projects from the outset.
Canada's 1.4 million aboriginals have clashed with industry and the government in recent years over development of resource projects on their traditional territories.
"If industry and governments are serious about ... wanting to create economic development, we need to be included and involved, and our rights and (land) title respected," Bellegarde said in an interview with Reuters. "If we're excluded, nothing will move. Nothing will happen."
Bellegarde said that if legal and political strategies fail, aboriginals will turn to activism, but would not specify if this means peaceful protests or civil disobedience.
Aboriginals want jobs, equity ownership and revenue-sharing, but also to protect the environment, he said, adding that he and the AFN "need to do homework" to determine what specifically aboriginals want from resource projects.
Major projects that are being challenged by aboriginal groups include Enbridge Inc's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, which would transport crude oil from the Alberta oil sands to British Columbia's Pacific Coast.
Enbridge has said it is offering aboriginal communities, known in Canada as First Nations, along the route C$1 billion ($866.03 million) in long-term benefits, including a 10 percent equity stake, jobs and contract opportunities. Nearly half of the 45 affected First Nations have rejected the offer.
Bellegarde, who was seen as the candidate for national chief who was most open to working with government, said there is also "huge risk" if aboriginal groups take too hard a line against resource development and miss opportunities to alleviate poverty.

Raising Livestock
When buying sustainable meats, here are a few things to consider:
1. Grain fed for some, grass fed for others.
Ruminants (cattle, sheep, and goats) are capable of converting straight grass into adequate basic nutrition. And in most cases, they should be allowed to do this to reduce the risk of illness that comes from eating grain. Any animal that doesn't chew its cud and have four stomachs, will take in grass as extra roughage, but cannot absorb all of the proteins and vitamins it needs without another source of nutrients–typically grain.
2. All animals are happier when they have the opportunity to run around, but some won't go as far.
Laying hens roam freely within a range and return to their coops at night, stomachs filled the with insects and plants they've foraged. Part of what makes it safe for them to spread out is the fact that they will have to check in regularly with their grain feeders, and that they are naturally inclined to put themselves to bed at dusk.
Pigs can be active when they are young, but their level of activity decreases as they reach adulthood, and begin to spend a good portion of the day sleeping. However, anything less than adequate room for them to sleep; to be piled up with 2 or 3 other 500 lb. pigs, is unkind and stressful for them. They are social creatures that like to change sleeping positions and locations over the course of the day.
Ruminants rely on grass if they are being fed well, which means that they require enough pasture to keep them from running out too quickly. The moment they run out of grass in a pasture, they will need to be moved, so it behooves a farmer to give them a large area to graze.
3. Antibiotics as growth enhancers versus antibiotics as cures for infections.
Antibiotics used in livestock are the same drugs used to treat infections in humans. Drug resistance can turn a small infection into a life threatening problem. The continual consumption of meats with low-dose antibiotics, that also likely contain resistant strains of bacteria, is moving us toward an inability to use antibiotics to help us when we're sick. We say 'no' to unnecessary antibiotic use in people as well as food.
That being said, all livestock farmers at some point will be faced with the ethical choice of allowing an animal to die from an illness or to give them an antibiotic. We cannot ask farmers to allow an infection to spread through their herd, or to allow their animals to suffer and die out from a curable illness. When it's the life or death of an animal and of a farm, we would rather see both make it out alive. However, we would never accept an animal for slaughter that was sick or had not gone through the prescribed withdrawal time after receiving medication.
Practices We Do Not Allow from Our Farmers
All cattle herds are pasture based. We don't accept veal. No feedlot type infrastructure is permitted in raising or finishing our cattle. At no point in the present or future will preventative antibiotics or appetite stimulants be allowed.
In addition to the criteria above, no pigs sold to HVH can have originated from farrowing crate-based operations. Commercial confinement practices of tail docking, wolf teeth removal, appetite stimulants, and preventative antibiotics will not be allowed.

I've had to change the output of
git annex metadata --json.
The old output looked like this:
That was not good, because it didn't separate the metadata fields from the rest of the JSON object. What if a metadata field is named "note" or "success"? It would collide with the other "note" and "success" in the JSON.
So, changed this to a new format, which moves the metadata fields into a "fields" object:
I don't like breaking backwards compatability of JSON output, but in this
case I could see no real alternative. I don't know if anyone
is using
metadata --batch anyway. If you are and this will cause a
problem, get in touch.
While making that change, I also improved the JSON output layer, so it can use Aeson. Update: And switched everything over to using Aeson, so git-annex no longer depends on two different JSON libraries.
This let me use Aeson to generate the "fields" object for
--json. And it was also easy enough to use Aeson to parse the output of
that command (and some simplified forms of it).
So, I've laid the groundwork for
git annex metadata --batch today.

Visual Basic for Applications Reference
Out of string space (Error 14)
Visual Basic permits you to use very large strings. However, the requirements of other programs and the way you manipulate your strings may cause this error. This error has the following causes and solutions:
Expressions requiring that temporary strings be created for evaluation may cause this error. For example, the following code causes an
Out of string spaceerror on some operating systems:
MyString = "Hello" For Count = 1 To 100 MyString = MyString & MyString Next Count
Assign the string to a variable of another name.
Your system may have run out of memory, which prevented a string from being allocated.
Remove any unnecessary applications from memory to create more space.

Passage: James 1:5
Chris Brown shares about the process of seeking wisdom from God. This past weekend, he said that wisdom isn't what we know, it's how we live! So are we really seeking God to give us the tools we need to help us live a righteous life? That's the true wisdom that He promises to give us when we ask. And then start praying!

What is Democracy really?
Posted by Angelo_Allen on August 10, 2009 · 2 Comments
The town hall meetings that have been disrupted by protestors intent on preventing any discussion on healthcare reform have claimed that it is their democratic right to disrupt what they don't like. This begs the question of what do we really mean when we say democracy?
The foundation of democracy is government by the people. It requires that the people take an active part in their own governing process. But what is actually meant by taking an active part? Does it include disrupting the governing process and therefore, disrupting the democratic process? If the essence of democracy is positive participation and disruption is negative participation, is there such a thing as negative participation within democracy?
I believe that democracy is a process and anything that disrupts that process is by definition undemocratic. While disruption is essential, when all else fails and your safety or life is in danger, democracy requires debate and discussion and without it there is no real democracy present.

Iron Man 2 Slot Review
Iron Man 2 is powered by Playtech and now features 5 reels and 50 paylines – it has been improved from the previous 25 payline version. It is part of the impressive Marvel slots series and is based on the successful blockbuster film which was released in 2010 – it featured Robert Downey Junior as Iron Man. You can play the game though from as little as 50p a spin to £250 a spin.
Iron Man 2 is obviously the second version of the original Iron Man slot game – it has been dramatically improved though. The main improvement see symbols now stacked in 2s whilst the original version had stacked symbols for only 2 symbols. Basically, this means that symbols will take up 2 spaces on a reel which will in turn improve your chances of forming a winning combination.
Iron Man 2 has a great Free Games with Increasing Multiplier feature (quite a mouthful) – you can activate the bonus round by getting 3 or more Iron Man 2 logo symbols (scatter) anywhere in view. You will get 10 free spins automatically – the multiplier value will then increase after every 2 free spins as follows:
- Free Spins 1 & 2: You'll get a 2x multiplier
- Free Spins 3 & 4: You'll get a 3x multiplier
- Free Spins 5 & 6: You'll get a 4x multiplier
- Free Spins 7 & 8: You'll get a 5x multiplier
- Free Spins 9 & 10: You'll get a 6x multiplier
Hopefully the bigger wins will come in the last 2 free spins as they will be multiplied by 6! There's more though – an extra wild symbol will remain in the middle position of the middle reel for the entire free spins too to boost your winnings further. To be honest, I prefer Iron Man 2 to the newer Iron Man 3 slot due to the variance being higher.

Visitors of every description have been flocking to the Renault stand since the motor show opened last week. Among the journalists, camera on shoulder and phone at ear, the tourists, looking half-interested and half-lost, and the enthusiasts, with ear-to-ear smiles and smartphones snapping away, you could also spot that most curious of rare birds: the celebrity.
That's right: the motor show gets its fair share of stardust too. If you happened to be there the at right time, you might have bumped into…

We had a 2 hour delay here in Central Ohio for the snow from yesterday, but I was very happy about it today! (I needed that extra sleep!) We looked into Great Wolf Lodge for a little spring break getaway as well, but I agree-very expensive! Do you have kids? Depending on their age, they might enjoy a night at a hotel with a nice indoor pool! A Hilton near where I live has a fabulous indoor pool with some little extras like a small (TINY) slide and a sprinkler. It's only $100 a night, and the way my kids react, you'd think it was Great Wolf Lodge! :ReplyDeleteReplies
I've never thought about a hotel - that might actually be a perfect solution:) My kids are young (5 and 1), and I worry that my baby won't actually be able to do many of the things at Great Wolf Lodge.Delete
As for sleeping in, my hubby and I wake up early to work out together (great motivation), so even when we have a delay, I go ahead and get up. It has worked out fine though, because my kids get up early (by 6:00) every day, so it is nice to have worked out and showered by myself, before going into full-blown mommy mode!
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm in upstate New York and we've also had a rash of snow days and delays that just throw everything off - especially the kids! I'm hopeful we can make it through the week, although it's not looking good with Wednesday's forecast! Personally my favorite vacation is a stay-cation. I love just being home with my hubs and dogs in my pjs sitting on the couch!ReplyDelete
I hope your weather gets better and March is a wonderful month for you!

During the last decades, Power-law distributions played significant roles in analyzing the topology of scale-free (SF) networks. However, in the observation of degree distributions of practical networks and other unequal distributions such as wealth distribution, we uncover that, instead of monotonic decreasing, there exists a peak at the beginning of most real distributions, which cannot be accurately described by a Power-law. In this paper, in order to break the limitation of the Power-law distribution, we provide detailed derivations of a novel distribution called Subnormal distribution from evolving networks with variable
elements and its concrete statistical properties. Additionally, imulations of fitting the subnormal distribution to the degree distribution of evolving networks, real social network, and
personal wealth distribution are displayed to show the fitness of proposed distribution.

I learned alot about myself then, using these lessons now (I think)
Just looking at all asset classes (except Dollar) go down together, I had a scary thought:
Can you imagine a bear market like this, with no place to hide, lasting for months and months?
Don't think its impossible
FSCHX(CEX) 2/3pos; NM, SLV, TRX, SIL, RGLD half-pos
S&P Sectors+
Watch list:
While everything is oversold together on daily time-frame, I remember the same right before 2011 summer crash. Assuming there is a bounce, SPX is sitting right on 100dma and 20wma with bunch of support levels below, but 1610-1620SPX needs to be taken first. How long will it take, will it be enough - remains to be seen, but TTheory Vol Osc and My A/D Indicator made lower lows and both remain in bear market territory, Volume Profile deteriorated as expected, and I have 3ptPF Target of 1470SPX.
Bradley Turn Date is 6/22, full moon 6/23, solar activity is on a rise again.
Its like this: economic news are all good or better than good, and seems to indicate continuing growth in USA and not in China. All other news are all negative and there are alot of them. Looks like they dig out every piece of nasty news, even dust off some old ones, so whatever your preference is - there is a negative story to worry about. This all nonsense of-course and I am trying to stay away from madness, besides I don't see anything critically important at the moment. It is customary for a big crisis to present itself after markets collapse somewhat, unfortunately profit opportunities are limited by the time reasons are known.
Ci sara' - un azzurro piu' intenso e un cielo piu' immenso.
Ci sara' - la tua ombra al mio fianco vestita di bianco.
Ci sara' - anche un modo piu' umano per dirsi ti amo di piu'.
There will be – a love story and a better world
There will be – sky-blue more intense and a sky more immense
There will be – your shadow by my side dressed in white
There will be – also a world more human for to say I love you the most
There will be – sky-blue more intense and a sky more immense
There will be – your shadow by my side dressed in white
There will be – also a world more human for to say I love you the most

I spent a lot of time perfecting this marshmallow fluff roll, and may even have earned the title of official egg separator in the kitchen. I've divorced as many as 40 yolks from their albumin and so this dessert is officially my piece de resistance of the summer.
The thought behind making it was simple- I didn't want to go the cake route with this one and I have definitely had it up to here with the puds, so this was my light-as-a cloud way of welcoming the summer Alphonso home. I know I'm directing a lot of hate my way when I say this, but the Alphonso is definitely not my favourite mango. In fact, I don't think I like it at all because I feel that it's overpoweringly sweet, whereas other mangoes offer a lot more in terms of that fresh tropical summer flavour we associate with mangoes. However, the alphonso when channeled into a filing such as custard or a mango curd takes on a new identity. The sweetness is toned down, the mouthfeel is rich and it evens out the flavour tremendously. It's this curd that I spread over the meringue, before gently, gingerly, precariously rolling it. There will be rips and tears, some filling may even ooze out and get all over your fingers, staining it a turmeric yellow, but continue on till you're done. Once it's chilled, you can slice it and serve it to your guests who will swoon as every feather-light bite disappears the second it touches their lips.
The instructions for preparing the tin and rolling are pretty precise so read them over and over again before you start.
Rolled Meringue With Alphonso Curd
Yield 4-6
It's the lightest dessert you'll ever taste. A marshmallowy rolled meringue encasing thick luscious seasonal mango curd is the summer dessert you've been looking for.
For The Meringue
Eggs 8, separated at least half an hour before you start on the recipe and whites at room temperature
Cream Of Tartar 1/4 tsp
Caster Sugar 2/3 cup (you could use brown sugar here to give it a more rich colour)
Vanilla essence 1/2 tsp
Icing sugar for dusting
For The Alphonso Curd
Alphonso 1, large mango
Caster sugar 100g
Butter 75g, soft
Eggs 2
Egg Yolk 1
Lemon 1, juiced and zested
You want to get started on the mango curd before anything else as this can keep for some time in the refrigerator. Separate the mango seed from the mango catching the juices in a small saucepan below so you don't lose the mango's juices. In the same saucepan, add in the caster sugar and the butter and whisk over a low flame till all the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Touch the surface of the curd, it should feel hot, but not scalding.
Whisk the egg yolk (this one come from one of the eggs you have separated for the meringue) and the whole eggs vigorously to lighten the mixture. Use one hand to pour the egg mixture into the mango, butter and sugar mixture, and whisk well with your other hand till all the egg mixture has been incorporated. Return the curd to the stove, maintaining a low to medium-low flame throughout. Whisk constantly till the mango mixture thickens to a custard consistency. You can take breaks in between where you take the pan off the stove if you get too tired and if the pan gets too hot to touch. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for the mixture.
Finish the curd with about 2 tbsp of lemon juice and some zest. Stir this in and take it off the heat. Let it cool before transferring it to the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees celsius. Line a long rectangular Swiss roll baking tray with baking paper leaving a considerable overhang on two sides.
Get a large glass bowl out and transfer the egg whites and the cream of tartar to it. Using an electric hand-mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites over medium speed till frothy. Once frothy, begin adding the sugar bit by bit, beating as you go.
Add the vanilla and increase the speed to high once all the sugar has been incorporated, and beat until the meringue holds stiff peaks. Always stop to check at intervals (at least twice), because you can never be too sure. You should be able to hold the bowl upside-down over your head and it should not fall face-first.
Transfer the meringue to the lined Swiss roll tray and smoothen the surface of the meringue evenly using an offset spatula. Transfer the meringue to the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes or till the surface of the meringue is golden brown and bouncy to touch.
Get the meringue out of the oven and dust the top of the meringue with icing sugar. Then, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the meringue. Cover the top of the tin with baking paper and turn out the meringue.
Spread the mango curd filling down the centre of the meringue spreading it as you go. This will move its way to the sides as you roll. Lifting one long end of the baking paper, use it to roll the meringue into a log very very carefully. There might be one or two rips and cracks, but don't worry about this. You can just dust some more icing sugar on top and get away with it.
Transfer to the refrigerator and chill. Unwrap to serve.

"Glengarry Glen Ross" and "House of Cards" director James Foley is in negotiations to helm the new untitled take on Adrian Lyne's 1990 cult classic "Jacob's Ladder" at LD Entertainment.
Tim Robbins starred in the original as a Vietnam veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who begins experiencing increasingly bizarre hallucinations that bleed into his everyday life. While many have debated the final twist of the film, the movie is mostly remembered for its truly bizarre and intensely surreal moments.
"Midnight Meat Train" writer Jeff Buhler is penning the script for the new version which has been described as a homage rather than an outright remake. The plan is to "contemporize the story with new situations and characters but still maintain a story that examines issues and poses existential questions."
Jennifer Monroe, Michael Gaeta and Alison Rosenzweig are producing – the latter two have had experience with 1980s remakes including the 2011 remake of "Fright Night" and the upcoming remake of 1987's "Angel Heart".

Jon, Jen and the Jaiden crew finished our patio and fire pit with flower gardens this week. It came out as beautiful as we had envisioned it from the plans drawn up by Jon. Everyone was very professional and diligent in finishing the project in a timely fashion. The patio really adds to our back yard and we will certainly enjoy it! Thanks Jon for a job well done!!
I had Jon and his crew do some landscaping at our home a few weeks ago and they did an awesome job.....I called several landscapers in the area and Jon promptly called me back (personally) and I have never talked or met him before. That certainly got him brownie points! He set up a free estimate and a follow up meeting. I had a deadline that needed to be met. They not only met my deadline, the work they did was beautiful. I will certainly recommend them.
We can't say enough positive about Jon, Jen & the crew! Absolutely professional and gave us an incredibly beautiful finished walkway. Very friendly and efficient group. We'd highly recommend them!
The employees are professional as well as knowledgeable. We recieved same day service at an excellent price. The job was done quickly and efficiently surpassing my expectations.
I have never been more impressed. Jon came over for a consult and less than one week later, trees are down, planting beds are dug, and my yard looks better that it ever has! There is not one single leaf or twig to be seen! The crew was very courteous and professional. I can't say enough about how pleased I am!
Jaiden Landscaping's staff is very professional and polite. With the exception of a few communication issues I cannot say enough about the transformation they did in our front yard, from the patio and fire pit that was exceptional to the beautiful flowering bushes and shrubs they planted to give our yard beautiful color. Great job folks. Thank you turning our yard into a beautiful paradise. THe St.Pierre's
Jaiden Landscaping redid my entire lawn and I have the greenest lawn in the neighborhood. They also installed 2 sets of granite steps, added pavers to part of my driveway, and installed a walkway. Jen and crew did an excellent job!
Great employees, great boss, all around great company. If you want quality work anything from mowing lawns to patios. Jaiden is the best around.

Ryanne Cunningham, Human Kinetics Softcover $21.95 (224pp), 978-1-4925-2261-4
Yoga's reputation is often soft and feminine, all yoga pants and calming breathing. As a result, many skilled, dedicated athletes see yoga as something outside their realm, but Ryanne Cunningham shows how the intensity and adaptability of yoga are good, even essential, for all sorts of athletes. Through dedicated practice, yoga can bring balance to the body that is an asset to competitors from cyclists to basketball players.
Cunningham begins with the basics—benefits of yoga and how to get started—then ventures into poses and practices for ten specific sports. This approach takes people from basic knowledge to truly transformative routines quickly, because for athletes, yoga is a means and not an end in itself. Each pose has concise action- and benefit-oriented instructions, and Cunningham demonstrates strong knowledge of the needs of each sport.
The book's tone is clear and positive, like that of a coach—not surprising, given Cunningham's experience as a trainer, but essential for anyone trying something new. The pace of the book, overall, and in each chapter and section, moves forward quickly so athletes can integrate yoga into their training schedules and see results.
This book is well-rounded, conveying what works and why it works in a way that's applicable to all kinds of people. Cunningham has deep knowledge of yoga and impressive experience training athletes (including Green Bay Packers players), but her wisdom is also broad, covering massage, physiology, and more. Clear photos make the positions easy to emulate, and they portray a range of body types, many of them men's. More medical diagrams, such as those of muscle groups, offer deeper understanding to promote safety along with good results.
Athletes from amateur to elite will find Cunningham's insights up their game, and coaches, especially of younger athletes, will find new tools to help those they coach perform their best by building and maintaining strength, balance, and flexibility.

What to say about this one?
Well, to start with, it involved a very patient indeed model - she had to lie on my cold floor with chocolate coins over her eyes while I loomed above her taking photos - most of which ended up with my feet in them - just as well I'm not a photorealist.
Moira is used to these sorts of shenanigins, though, both through having been my very first ever model and being an artist herself - she runs Felt In Art so I really ought to do a drawing or painting with one of her creations. Maybe next time.
As to the inspiration, once I started thinking about using everyday, childish things as props I knew I wanted to use the chocolate coins - not least because it is always good to be able to eat your accessories. The idea of someone lying back with the coins on their eyes came to me so strongly that I am worried I am plagiarising someone unwittingly - hopefully it is the concept (which is quite an old one, after all) and not a specific image that I am stealing. After all, in representational art concerning the human body there are very few new ideas - Madonna and child has been painted umpteen times, for example, yet we are not tired of it yet.

View from the Island of Elephanta
Artist: Wales, James (1747-1795)
Medium: Etching, coloured
Date: 1800
This is plate 12 from James Wales' 'Bombay Views'. The series was painted for Sir Charles Malet (1752-1815), the British Resident of Poona, who met Wales in Bombay in 1791.
Wales wrote that this image was: "Taken from the Landing-Place of this celebrated Island, exhibiting the colossal statue of the Elephant whence it is named, including the little island of Butcher on the right." The rock-cut temples dating to some 6th century AD on this island are dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva in the form of Mahadeva.

I must have flowers, always, and always.
The giving of flowers is a time-honored tradition and one that often marks milestones and meaningful moments in our lives and in the lives of those we love and care about. Flowers are the perfect way to say thank you, congratulations or I'm sorry, to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, to gather family and friends around the table during a holiday or to offer condolences and loving memories in the passing of a loved one. Even the "just because" bouquet means quite a bit.
Our talented team of designers is here to help you to convey these sentiments for any occasion. Our cut flowers are personally chosen daily to assure the utmost freshness and seasonality. Whenever possible we use locally-grown blooms.

A new part of the journey to get pregnant has started, H had another semen test and it came back pretty much normal, a little low but better than the last test. I have brought some 'pre seed' from the chemist, and a whole bunch of ovulation LH tests a basal thermometer and pregnancy HCG tests from ebay (these are yet to arrive).
I have ovulated since we got the news that H's sperm might be ok, and used the 'pre seed' one time. Already I am going nuts about the fact that I MIGHT be pregnant, and have been reading heaps of stuff online and searching things like "7dpo achy and tired", yet fearful that yes it might all just be in my head.
So, if my menstruation does arrive next week I am going to be all prepared, I will print out a calender and track stuff. I am actually curious to see if I do ovulate when I think I do, as I get that mid cycle pain nearly every month.
Oh the fun of bodily functions.

Department of Corrections initiates purchasing freeze in light of budget cuts
OKLAHOMA CITY – One week after announcing a hiring freeze, a state agency is taking additional steps to save money.
On Wednesday, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections announced that the agency has instituted a purchasing freeze in response to expected cuts.
"This freeze is part of our continuing efforts to be frugal and find efficiencies in our operations as we plan for these cuts," ODOC Director Joe Allbaugh said. "DOC has always prided itself on operating efficiently, and we will continue looking for ways to remain good stewards of our state's resources."
Officials say the purchasing freeze only allows the agency to purchase critical items like food for inmates, medical care and janitorial supplies.
The announcement comes one week after the department initiated a hiring freeze.
After the 'Step Up Oklahoma' plan failed to receive the necessary votes to pass, lawmakers began focusing on funding cuts to balance the budget.
On Wednesday, a bill that calls for about $45 million to be cut from state agencies passed the Senate.

Andrew EttingerPro@ettinger · 👟 @wearAtoms // ex @Twitter @ProductHunt
I never appreciated Kobe for being the legend he is. In a game of (increasingly more) softees, he's remained quite the opposite. It takes a real savage to have literally no reaction to this:
@andrewmettinger This was awesome. I remember watching this. Funny thing is Barnes ended up becoming a Laker after this. Same with Artest going after Kobe in the playoffs, and next year, they were teammates.
@jadlimcaco @andrewmettinger I wonder if @hbarnes can tell us about this 😄 after all, he is a fan of Product Hunt and did an awesome LIVE Chat recently
@bentossell @andrewmettinger @hbarnes is awesome! Got to watch him play the other day against the Lakers! Glad I went to that game, although the Warriors smoked the Lakers by almost 40 points!
@jadlimcaco @andrewmettinger and I went to a game when we were in SF! my first ever Basketball experience!
So sad to hear that @KobeBryant is finally hanging it up. 😥 I know it's time, but it just won't be the same watching the Lakers. I've been following him since I was 8 years old, and now, 20 years later I'm out of college, married, and have a career. Crazy that for most of my life, I was watching him play. I could remember asking my parents to buy me the latest Kobe shoes, and I remember while I played ball in High School, trying to emulate all of Kobe's moves. As a little tribute, I made a website showcasing the good things people are saying about Kobe from around the league and from others in the sports and entertainment world. Feel free to share and let me know if I missed some other quotes.
Alphonso Morris@youngfonz · Sr. Visual Designer
Who built this site? Anyone know? Cool concept.
@youngfonz Thanks Alphonso. I built the site 😎
Oleg Sharov@shapob · Founder @pinwheelapp
I had the same idea the day Kobe announced his retirement, great job :)
@shapob Thanks man. Now if only I can get @kobebryant to see it haha
Michael John McClain@mjmcclain · Co-founder of Heilig VRFX
I emailed the link to a few friends that live near Kobe and one who knows him personally. Great job.
@mjmcclain Thanks Michael! One of your friends knows him personally??? Wow!!! Would be really cool if somehow, this got to him and he saw it 😁

we are evaluating MWG 22.214.171.124.0 (15726) and have the problem sometimes websites load very slowly.
In chart "General Performance" we can see DNS lookups sometimes take a long time.
We changed DNS settings and configured "Conditional Forwarding" about 8:40 a.m.
Any ideas why DNS querys do not work fine with "Conditional Forwarding" disabled?
Best regards.
on 18.09.13 13:04:57 MESZ
I don't have my 7.3 system up at the moment, but here is what I can remember from when I was playing with that feature.
When you are using the standard DNS settings the MWG will ask your DNS server everytime I needs to know an address. If your DNS server has issues, as seems to be the case here, these lookups can take longer than they should, delaying your web traffic.
When enabling the conditional forwarders, the MWG starts its own BIND instance and performs all queries against that. From there the local instance can cache entries and provide answers even when the normal resolvers are unresponsive. All queries go through the local instance, it only behaves differently for the domains that you have configured in the conditional list.
MWG contains its own cache for DNS. Negative entries (host is unknown) are cached only for a very short time (few seconfs).
If MWG does not get a reply for a DNS query, it waits (up to 30s for each cinfigured name server). If you use the same address again and again, you will get a big delay every few seconds.
Using conditional DNS uses bind running on local host. If bind caches queries without response for a longer time, it is much faster.

One evening we went on a tour around the lake at sunset aboard one of the hotel's launches. It gave the chance to see the city lakeside and the Jag Mandir.
The City Palace from a different view. As well as the Hotel and the Jag Mandir there were a number of smaller structures around the lake like the one in the foreground.
Looking in the other direction along the Lake Front
This was a main landing point from the Lake to the City, apparently only the Royal Family used to pass through the central arch, other people had to use the two to the sides.
A small road bridge crossing the Lake. The small stretch of water beyond is know as the Swarup Sagar.
This small building and platform apparently spent part as its life as an ammunition store.

Reneta Petkova, Managing Partner
Reneta Petkova, managing partner of Deloitte Legal Law Firm discusses how the firm is adapting to clients' changing needs.
What do you see as the main points that differentiate Deloitte Legal Law Firm from your competitors?
Our practice has a presence globally, with more than 1,750 lawyers in over 75 countries; hence we can offer services to multinational clients in many jurisdictions, coordinated from one office. Very few of our global competitors can match our wide-ranging and in-depth experience and understanding of various sectors, industries and markets, as well as a team of legal specialists who work in cross collaboration with colleagues from tax, financial advisory, data analytics, risk management and other functional teams. Clients can benefit from the collective capabilities offered by the Deloitte Legal network overall.
Therefore, we offer a one stop shop service as well as an interdisciplinary approach to all business issues, delivered through flexible solutions. We care as much about our clients' long term success as we do for the short term outcome of a project.
Which practices in your member firm do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that?
The practices follow the needs of our clients. Traditionally the industries that receive most interest from foreign investors are technology, media and telecommunications, outsourcing, pharmaceuticals and financial services, as well as, increasingly, agriculture, food and real estate. Drivers for this include an increase in export-oriented businesses and the absorption of EU funds.
The ongoing EU funding programs in Bulgaria are closely connected to the assignments regarding public procurement procedures, appeals of financial corrections, etc. Recently, our legal practice has closely cooperated with several municipalities, seeking expert legal advice on complex issues related to their day-to-day operations.
In 2016, a great deal of focus will be on asset quality review in the financial services industry as well as business restructuring, resolution and recovery. In connection thereto, regulators are striving to impose more stringent rules on banks and other financial institutions and increasingly scrutinising these businesses. These trends will increase demand for related legal work, and lead to a high volume of regulatory and risk management mandates. Already we have been engaged in numerous restructuring assignments.
Our team has a long history of involvement in projects related to successful M&A deals, coupled with highly-regarded capabilities in banking, finance and capital markets.
What is the main change you have made in your firm that will benefit clients?
Our legal practice, after a significant expansion in 2015, has wide-ranging expertise across many industries. Our cross-functional teams support clients with matters involving legal, tax, accounting and specific financial issues. The teams can meet, exchange information and brainstorm to evaluate if there are areas where we can add value to the clients' business.
We also strive to update our clients on all major changes in legislation relevant to their business, often offering analysis in the form of articles, newsletters, presentations and other useful materials.
How is technology changing the way you interact with your clients and the services you can provide them?
No business remains unaffected by technology. Most clients rely on IT in order to do their business and to develop it. Therefore, we expect technology-enabled legal services will become the norm in years to come.
In addition to the information on our website, regular newsletters and articles, we also present regular surveys and the Deloitte Dbriefs web cast series which discusses a range of current topics at a local and multijurisdictional level.
We continue to harness technology with the aim of improving our services. We see a rising interest among clients in understanding the power of state-of-the-art document analysis and document automation tools. While each case is different and creativity is still necessary in our profession, significant efficiency gains can be achieved by carefully matching the strengths and weaknesses of the available tools with the tasks that the client must complete.
Can you give us a practical example of how you helped a client add value to their business?
- We aim to help our clients prepare for changes to the regulation of their business, to address additional or different regulatory requirements in a quick and cost efficient way.
- As mentioned, we are able to help global clients with international multifunctional projects, from our office in Sofia.
- A particular achievement was the support we gave a client in connection with several acquisition mandates in the food industry, where we provided the legal instruments to restructure the newly acquired companies in a way that best served the client's business objectives.
- Also, our office coordinated multijurisdictional research for a client in the pharma industry, on the legal aspects of regulation around state funding for publicly important, innovative medical treatment. This information was then used as a basis to propose changes to the relevant law for introducing fast track procedures, for the benefit of patients and society.
Are clients looking for stability and strategic direction from their law firms – where do you see the firm in three year's time?
We are always ready to guide our clients in a strategic way, highlighting possible legal options, instruments and combinations thereof. Our clients tell us this type of business thinking is a real differentiator for Deloitte Legal.
Our goal is to evolve, together with our clients and their businesses. Our ambition is to achieve sustainable growth, remain one of the most respected full service law firms in Bulgaria, and to continue to serve as a trusted adviser to our clients.
