Water for Elephants for Sara Gruen
The characters in this book are so well-developed that I felt like I could reach out and touch them. Especially the star of the show, Rosie the elephant. I so wanted to be next to Rosie and touch her wrinkled skin. Look into her oh-so-human eyes.
But a word of caution. If you are strongly affected by elderly neglect or cruelty to animals, you should enter into this book with care. There are some heart-wrenching scenes in this book that tore me apart. I have a close friend with whom I share many of my books, but I have strong reservations regarding passing this book on to her, because I know that these two topics are very dear to her. I'm just not sure she could handle them. Suffice it to say that train circuses were much more concerned about making a profit than in the ethical treatment of their animals and workers.
This fulfills the "animal" category of Annie's What's in a Name Challenge.

Keep in mind that the book was set in the early years of the Depression. Not that it excuses the treatment of the animals and people, but it might help explain it.
I need to re-read this book by April 15 as I will be leading the discussion of it at the next local book club meeting!

Thanks for the warning. I've been wondering about that very thing, so I have yet to pick this one up despite all the great reviews. Now that I know for sure, I can emotionally ready myself if I decide to go for it. :-)

Amanda - It's not that it's not appropriate to the time, but that it's difficult subject matter. The book was researched very well, and I'm sure it's historically accurate. But some people might have a hard time dealing with it emotionally. My friend has specifically said she can't deal with some types of subject matter, which is why I hesitate to recommend it to her. If I had a hard time reading certain sections, I know that it would tear her to pieces.
Lezlie - Good! That's what I intended in my review. I don't want to steer anyone away from it, but I think bracing yourself for it is a good idea. I often don't read reviews before I start a book because I'm afraid of spoilers, so I didn't know what I was in for in this case.

Wonderful review, Somer. I really appreciate the honesty, because I'm one of those people who probably couldn't handle it.

this is one of my all time favorite books, somer.
i'm normally a total wimp when it comes to cruelty, whether depicted in film or print or experienced in real life. and no matter the creature involved.
this is just a damn good book.

I remember thinking when I read this book that it was awful how they treated animals back then. I'm sure it's still that way in many areas of the world.

Drake Edit: This has been the biggest battle in Dark Warriors history. It took 2 days to finish. This was truly a great battle. We got 100 troops on the first day, and 80-90 troops today. I am proud. xiUnknown has 20 more membership codes to give away so be on chat for that. We still have to be consistent even after this tournament and rise to defeat our enemies in war. Just because this tourney is over, does not mean it's slack off time. We have a war coming up, and we need all dark warriors to attend our events.

When Google showcased the New Nexus 7 yesterday a lot was made about the devices new Full HD display, which has the highest pixel density currently available on a tablet. Now to celebrate the launch of the Nexus 7 2 Battle Dragons has been made available worldwide on the Google Play Store.
The game sees players taking command of an army of powerful dragons, but to succeed you will need to fortify your bases, collect resources, and also form alliances with other players to build a tribe.
If you are successful you will advance from a small tribe to become the leader of the Dragon Nations. Battle Dragons takes advantage of the new Google Play game services so users can boast online about their achievements.
Users can work on their defensive and offensive strategies using the Spar mode, where they can even deploy their troops against their own base. This will help them learn what units are best against each other so not to lose any dragons or emplacements. The game will eventually be released on the iOS platform and the game is free to download and play.
Head over to Google Play for more information or to download and check out the demo video we have embedded below.

What does it take to get Christians to listen? Or, perhaps more to the point, what does it take to get them to obey the words of the Lord Jesus Christ?
The apostle John, in the book of Revelation, quoted Jesus several times saying: 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.' [Rev 2:11].
Well then, what exactly was Jesus complaining about in Revelation when He tells the Churches to listen?
He was criticising the Churches for their lack of love for Him in their motivation to do good deeds. He was not only against those Churches where false doctrine was taught, but He hated the fact that some were even tolerating false teaching and false prophecy without opposing them! [Rev 2:14-16].
Not only that, He also opposed the deadness of the Church at Sardis, and the luke-warmness of the one at Laodicea.
Let us open our ears to hear what is happening in our Churches today. False teaching and lop-sided emphases are lulling Churches to sleep. Sin and repentance are often ignored and good works are emphasised at the expense of the gospel which should produce such good works.
Are You Being Fed Good Food?
Just in case you are not certain whether you are being fed good spiritual food from the Word of God by your pastor or leaders, consider these questions:
1. Do you have to listen to sermons which over-emphasise one doctrine or outlook, at the expense of Jesus' messages to the Churches of Revelation, His final words to His Church? Those Churches Jesus told to work diligently, lovingly and discerningly for Him? Or those Churches which were not actively overcoming sin in their midst?
2. Is there a Church member who is not careful about their speech or behaviour, who brings disgrace to the name of Jesus? What are the elders doing about it?
3. Do you hear any sermons about holy living in this age of corruption, where the clear implications of Christian living are spelt out, not only for young people, but for all of us? When was the last time you heard anyone preach about sexual morality, divorce or abortion?
4. Or are you hearing so-called teaching about God's desire for you to have a rewarding life, or community involvement [falsely called 'outreach'] and feel-good stories and anecdotes, with only occasional reference to the Scriptures?
If any of the above is true of your Church, you need to DO something about it. 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying' to the Churches of today.
What is the Good Food?
OK, so what do the Lord Jesus and the apostles say about good spiritual food?
In His message to the Laodicean Church of Revelation, Jesus tells them to 'overcome', and in so doing they will get to 'sit with me on my throne'. The apostle John explains in 1 John 5:5 that an overcomer is one who 'believes that Jesus is the Son of God.'
Now you might say, 'I believe that – it's easy'.
But it's not so easy as you might think – the Bible explains that when Jesus said we must believe, it involved a continuing belief in His ability to save us from destruction, and that belief should last in us all through life. It's not a 'one-off' decision.
Secondly, such a belief logically leads to a holy way of life in keeping with our salvation. As James and Paul both point out, any so-called faith without appropriate actions is not true faith in Christ at all.
So, good food involves the encouragement of all believers to put their faith into action. Good works based on bad doctrine are not acceptable to God because, for example, if we have a faulty understanding of who Jesus is and why He came to earth, it means our motives will be completely wrong.
Remember, God looks not on the outside but on the heart.
Toleration in the Church
Why did Jesus vehemently oppose those in Thyatira who tolerated a false teacher?
This raises the question of toleration in the Church today. Is toleration a Christian virtue? Didn't Jesus say 'Judge not…?'
I believe Jesus is, today, thoroughly disgusted with Churches, leaders and ignorant Christians who allow dodgy teaching, wrongly emphasised doctrines, and practices opposed to Biblical precepts (eg, women teaching men).
Such situations have been found in many types of Churches since Pentecost.
The fact is that the issue of false and even half-right teaching as defined above is clearly condemned many, many times in the New Testament, not only by Jesus, but by the apostles in just about all of their writings.
Today, by and large, the Church has gone soft on discernment so as to avoid disturbing the unity of God's family. The result is confusion, mass apostasy and lukewarmness.
Jesus doesn't tolerate it and why should we? If you don't know what to do about it, please read the important principle expressed in Rev 18:4:
'Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins.'
A Prayer of Repentance for the Church
Heavenly Father, we ask your forgiveness and seek your direction and guidance for our lives.
We know your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that's exactly what we've done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted your values.
We confess that we have ignored the absolute truth of your Word and called the result 'cultural influence' or 'new interpretation.'
We have worshipped other gods and called it modern living. We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle. We have killed our unborn and called it freedom of choice.
'Search us O God and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us'; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

He also urged people, once again, to respect the lockdown and stay inside their homes during this period.
"During this 21-day lockdown, we will do our best to make sure nobody goes hungry. This is a difficult time. We are not saying there will not be problems, but we will do our best to make sure everyone is looked after," the Chief Minister said, stressing, "There will be no shortage of essential goods".
Addressing the media this afternoon, after meeting Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, Mr Kejriwal also said that people providing essential services - such as those in health care and journalism - would not be stopped from carrying out their duties so long as they carried identity cards with them.
Others, such as shopkeepers selling vegetables and groceries, have been asked to contact the government to get an e-pass that will allow them to function during the lockdown in Delhi.
Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has made several other arrangements. These include Rs 5,000 to all construction workers (building work has been halted for the duration of the lockdown) and doubling of pensions for widows and elderly and specially-abled citizens.
Last week Mr Kejriwal also announced free rations to 72 lakh people whose jobs and livelihoods may have been affected by the lockdown.
However, there is still a measure of panic buying of essential goods in the city, with several shops running out of basic items like milk, bread and vegetables.
India went under a 21-day "total lockdown", starting Tuesday midnight, to stop the spread of the contagious COVID-19 virus, which has infected nearly 600 and killed at least 10 people. In Delhi there are 31 active cases, including a foreign national, and one death has been linked to the virus.

Bad seed, bad fruit
8/23/2018, 6 a.m.
"By their fruits you shall know them."
— Matthew 7:20
We hope that Tuesday's courtroom dramas in New York and Northern Virginia opened the eyes of those who blindly back President Trump and will push Republicans in Congress out of their tacit support for a fascist who is destroying our country.
The plea deal by Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump's former personal lawyer, in federal court in Manhattan, and the conviction of Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump's former campaign chairman, in federal court in Alexandria, proves that disciples of Mr. Trump also have produced bad fruit.
Mr. Cohen told the judge when he pleaded guilty to eight felonies involving tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance laws that Mr. Trump sowed the criminal seeds when Mr. Trump directed him to pay hush money to two women during the 2016 campaign to keep them quiet about their alleged affairs with Mr. Trump.
According to Mr. Cohen, Mr. Trump authorized the $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her, and $150,000 through the National Enquirer to former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal for the rights to her story so it wouldn't be published.
Mr. Cohen told the judge he participated in the deal "for the purpose of influencing the election." By helping to cover up two potential sex scandals, Mr. Cohen helped ensure Mr. Trump's presidential bid could remain unscathed.
As Mr. Cohen was pleading guilty on Tuesday, a jury announced that it found Mr. Manafort guilty of eight counts of financial fraud. The jury found Mr. Trump's man had hidden a fortune in foreign accounts with the goal of evading U.S. taxes on the millions of dollars he was paid serving politicians and oligarchs allied with the Kremlin. When his work and money began to dry up, he lied to obtain millions in bank loans in the United States.
One of the chief witnesses against Mr. Manafort was Rick Gates of Richmond, who served as Mr. Manafort's deputy on the Trump campaign. Mr. Gates also was a top adviser to Mr. Trump, particularly during the transition to the White House following the election.
Mr. Gates, who disclosed to the jury his own avarice and thievery from Mr. Manafort during that time, already had pleaded guilty to conspiracy and making false statements.
Mr. Gates is cooperating with special counsel Robert S. Mueller, who is investigating Russia's interference and influence in the 2016 election to get Mr. Trump in the White House.
We believe Mr. Manafort and Mr. Cohen will start singing to Mr. Mueller — if they haven't already — in an effort to reduce the amount of prison time they will receive.
Already, Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump's former campaign adviser and his first national security adviser, has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about contacts he had with Russian officials. He, too, reportedly is cooperating with Mr. Mueller on the Russia probe.
These latest court actions serve to confirm what we have long believed — that Mr. Trump needs to be impeached for colluding with the Russians and criminally conspiring to manipulate the election's outcome.
Republicans in Congress need to stand up and disavow this man who has been a national aberration as he continues to cozy up to Russian President Vladimir Putin and a regime that continues to threaten our basic democracy by hacking our elections.
We can tell who Mr. Trump is by the rotten fruit he surrounded himself with. It is long past time for the White House and our government to be rid of him.

Find A Doctor Or Hospital In Your Network.
When you hear the phrase Primary Care Physician, do you know who that is? Let me introduce you.
I grew up in a small town. Our town was lucky enough to have our own doctor. Our town's doctor was Dr. Sanders, and he was my doctor. In fact, he took care of everyone in my family. We went to him for sports and school physicals every year, and saw him when we had a stomach ache or a cold. When I fell and took out the corner of the coffee table with my chin, Dr. Sanders stitched me up. He took care of all that, times hundreds, every day. He was our town doctor for decades, until he retired at age 70.
We also called Dr. Sanders our "family doctor." Today, he would be called a primary care physician, or PCP. A PCP may practice family medicine, general medicine, pediatrics, women's health or geriatrics.
While medicine has changed a lot over the years, the role of the primary care physician hasn't changed much. He or she is still e the one who takes care of you through all of the ups and downs of your health. And it is who you would call first when you have a health problem. If you said "I need to call the doctor," this is "the doctor" you would mean.
The Pew Research Center has a study that showed that 1 out of 3 adult Americans in our modern day "cough and click culture" – meaning they go to the web first for health information. While the web is a good place for health information, it isn't the best place to go if you have symptoms and want to know what the real problem is. It can't take the place of a health care expert who can run tests, talk through your symptoms and make sure you see a specialist if needed. For example, the fatigue and joint pain you are having may lead you to worry that you have Lupus, a chronic and devastating disease. A doctor may quickly rule out Lupus and may instead trace your problems to lack of sleep, stress, certain meds or other root causes that can be an easy fix.
If you have "your" doctor, or PCP, you are already on your way to better health. Having your own personal doctor is one of the most important thing you can do for your health. It means you'll have someone in your corner making sure you get the care you need.
Do You Have an HMO Plan?That doctor-patient relationship is at the center of an HMO plan. An HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization, relies on the PCP to manage your health in order to control your costs and keep your health on track. Your HMO, Your PCP and You To make the most of your relationship with your PCP and get the most out of your HMO, keep these tips in mind:
So, What's the Difference Between a PCP and an HCP?
According to UC Berkely, a Health Care Practitioner (HCP) is a person who has been trained in a specific kind of medicine to help target health issues. These can be doctors, nurses or specialists.
Most often a doctor (MD), a primary care provider (PCP) is a health care practitioner who manages a patient's health over a long period of time. This is a care provider who sees people that have common medical concerns or are seeing preventive care. A PCP can also be a physician assistant or a nurse practitioner.
Both will file claims with your insurance provider. Long story short, a PCP is a type of HCP, but an HCP might not be a PCP. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor—by that we mean your PCP-- about any other treatments that you receive from a specialist or other provider or HCP. Make sense?
To get information about your health plan or need to find a PCP, log on to Blue Access for Members and use our Provider Finder, a search tool that lists the providers who are part of your HMO plan's provider network.

The Pirates did the unthinkable in July and actually sat atop of the National League Central Division…for about a day. There was actually a buzz in Pittsburgh with our baseball team doing good things this late in the season. They promptly went on a 10 game losing streak. I had the pleasure of attended when they got blown out by the lowly San Diego Padres 13-2. Not a great game to watch, but it was really hot and humid too. The organization did, however, provide some entertainment as the group Train played a set and we were treated to Zambelli fireworks.
The Pirates' news is rather mixed at this point in the season:
- They are 13 games out of first place in perhaps one of the weakest divisions.
- They are 5 games under 0.500 and are looking more like they'll "achieve" the ignominious 19th losing season in a row.
- They just spent a butt load of money on some mid-season help which shows that perhaps they don't mind spending some money. Their impact has not exactly translated into wins.
- They just spent a butt load of money signing their draft picks including the first overall pick. The bad news is that their impact may not be felt for several years.
- They may not bring up $2 million dollar pitcher, Ross Ohlendorf, until September when teams are allowed to have expanded rosters. Ross' mega pay hike was the inspiration for the original post due to the seeming disparity between the his big pay hike and his on-field productivity. It perhaps says a lot when a $2 million dollar pitcher coming off an injury cannot make it on to a ball club with a losing record.
So with more bad news than good what do you suppose the Pirate organization decided to do? Right they are raising ticket prices. It was explained that they had not raised prices in years. I understand, but they have not fielded a winning team in 18, almost 19 years.

Community members are invited to give their input this week, as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) develops a Corridor Master Plan for approximately 9.4 miles of Horizon Boulevard (FM 1281) between Alameda Avenue (SH 20) in Socorro and Ascension Street in Horizon City.
The corridor, which links the communities of Horizon City, Sparks, and Socorro, is expected to experience increased growth. Many new developments are currently in planning or construction phases along the corridor.
These developments will likely add traffic to an area which already includes parks, schools, neighborhoods, and various businesses.
A Corridor Master Plan will assist transportation planners in preparing for growth and will help identify current and future transportation needs along Horizon Boulevard.
The plan will define existing transportation challenges and opportunities; and evaluate possible solutions. It will also consider the community's vision and recommendations to improve safety and mobility, and will consider drainage issues in the area.
A second round of public meetings will be scheduled for later this year and the study is estimated for completion in spring 2019.
These meetings are the first in a series before final recommendations are made. Identical study information will be presented at each gathering. These meetings are in an open house format with maps, plan details and animations, and will be staffed by TxDOT and consultants ready to answer questions in English and Spanish.
Community members interested in learning more about the plans, but are not able to attend this last round of public meetings can view details and provide feedback online by visiting www.txdot.gov , and search via keyword "Horizon Boulevard – FM 1281".
MEETING #1 – Tuesday, February 20, 5-7 p.m.
Clint Independent School District Central Administration Building, Board Room
14521 Horizon Blvd., Horizon City
MEETING #2 – Wednesday February 21, 5-7 p.m.

The illustrious Dorset Tourism Awards ceremony took place at The Lighthouse, Poole on Thursday 16 November 2017. The night was hosted by BBC Radio Solent's Steve Harris and celebrated the very best tourism businesses from across Dorset. Trophies were handed to 66 winners from all corners of the county – whittled down from a record number of entries this year.
The judges congratulated The Italian Villa for excelling through the stages of the judging process.

Chairman of the Judges, Professor Peter Jones commented:
"As chairman of the Dorset tourism awards judging panel, I'm delighted to report that the panel's work becomes harder year-on-year. Not just because of the number and quality of applications, but a reflection of the commitment to the tourism businesses. Whatever size and type they're enhancing and developing the true authentic Dorset visitor experience."
The Dorset Tourism Awards have seen year on year growth since their launch in June 2013. Robin Barker, who has developed the awards from their first concept to their current success is delighted with progress, saying:
"This year has seen record entries, more sponsors and our biggest Dorset event ever. Many congratulations to all the winners, who we look forward to working within their quest for ever higher standards."

Quilting Superstars Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson featured the North Carolina Quilt Symposium on The Quilt Show, an Internet-based quilt network. The blog is free and often features slide shows created with SmileBox. Not long ago, my quilt Mountain Sunset was featured in a slide show called "Unforgettable." I also had a quilt included on the "First Quilts" slide show, with my son Dave and niece Jessie lying on the first quilt I ever made. This time they did not include my Symposium quilt in the slide show, but you can get an idea of the lovely Peace College campus, some of the quilts and classes at the the Symposium. Many Capital Quilt Guild members can be seen in the slides. The first slide featured on the blog is a quilt by my friend Jean from my local bee. Enjoy!
As I was searching for my classroom last Sunday morning, it was a virtual Who's Who of the Quilting World in room after room. Rachel Clark, Sue Nickels, Elly Synkiewvich, Yvonne Porcella, Charlotte Warr Anderson ...I was truly in the midst of inspirational quilters!
I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!

My first degree was BA (Hons) Social Science from Edinburgh Napier University. After graduating, I spent five months working full-time at Lloyds Banking Group.
About you
I chose this course because of the condensed nature of the programme - it is two years instead of the undergraduate being four years. Also, the long nature of placement appealed to me, as I felt it would prepare me well for going into work after qualifying.
I chose to stay in Edinburgh as my family are here. There are several large hospitals in Edinburgh, offering a wide variety of experiences which I felt would help greatly in preparing me for qualifying.
"The workload, so far, has been manageable. It was a shock to go from undergraduate level to master's level, but the support from the lecturers has been great. They are available if you have any questions or queries."
The Course
I hoped that the course would give me the opportunity to further develop the communication skills that had gained during previous part-time and full-time work, to assist me in securing a job that would bring me a great deal of personal satisfaction. I am now looking forward to helping patients on their road to diagnosis, and then on to recovery.
The workload, so far, has been manageable. It was a shock to go from undergraduate level to masters level, but the support from lecturers has been great. They are available if you have any questions or queries.
I chose not to work during the course, due to the long 17 week placements. I am supporting myself from savings from having worked full-time prior to starting the course.
Prospective students should look into financial support option. They should definitely visit an active radiography department to get an idea of the different departments and the work involved in being a radiographer.

I'm new to Gigastudio - just got Ensemble and am having a few problems.
My PC is a P4 2.0ghz
1 GB ram
Echo Gina24 with latest drivers
Creative Labs Soundblaster Live (for midi)
Running Sonar 4.03
The biggest problem I have is running in rewire mode. I can load instruments in Giga and trigger them in Sonar, but the latency is so bad I can't really play anything. However, playback works OK (at least in terms of latency).
Other symptoms (in case these help)
If I run Giga standalone, it will only output sound about 50% of the time (using the audition button). I used to be able to trigger notes with my keyboard or the virtual keyboard, but none of those produce sound anymore.
And Gigastudio complains every time I start it (in standalone mode) that it did not start properly the last time... and do I want to run diagnostics etc. I can't get rid of this message.
So... I've been wondering about the rewire mode problem... could it be the fact that I use a different audio card for midi? Does my audio card just suck?
Any help appreciated!

The title of the short story is "The Yellow Wallpaper" and in fact, the vile wallpaper that the narrator hates is a huge ideogram in the story. "The Yellow Wallpaper" was written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1892. As the narrator she goes on to tell a story of how she lived with her caring husband who is also her physician after giving birth. Even though she may be a woman with a high social placement, the narrator of "The Yellow Wallpaper" goes insane for many different reasons such as tonics
From Stylistics to Narratology A Critical Reading of Charlotte Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" Abstract This paper aims to analyze "The Yellow Wallpaper" a short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman employing a combination of two stylistics tools, namely transitivity and presupposition. Studying such linguistic elements coupled with background contextual factors aim at illustrating the female protagonist's attempt to liberate herself from her husband's restraints which characterize the pressure
Throughout the whole semester we have read novels and poems in which characters were escaping the reality by creating the imaginary world. Each character has a different story and a different reason to do that. In the novel "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Gilman, the main character, who is also the narrator of the story, is a young woman, who 's suffering from what in modern days is known as postpartum depression but back than was diagnosed as hysteria. Due to her illness her husband John, who
"The Yellow Wallpaper," written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is a short story that portrays a very common view of nineteenth century culture and medicine. The story, written in classical fiction form, has a plot, setting, a cast of characters, and a point of view from which the story is told. The way in which the story is told, and the unexpected conclusion, are two of the main reasons why "The Yellow Wallpaper" is such an important piece of nineteenth century fiction. There are few characters in
"The Yellow Wallpaper" a short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman's has some elements that link it to the Gothic genre. However, there are features within it that are not directly prescribed in Gothic literature. Throughout "The Yellow Wallpaper" there are some aspects of the short story that observe the traditional features of gothic literature. However, in some instances, other aspects do not, overall though the short story is gothic in its writing. Where there is a departure from the traditional
An analysis of "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman The Yellow Wallpaper is a story that was written during a time of great change by Charlotte Perkin's Gilman. In the early to mid-19th century, the society positioned American middle class women as the spiritual and moral leaders of their homes. Based on this domestic ideology, a woman's place in the society was only in the private domain of the home, where she was expected to fulfill her duties as a wife and mother. Men on the other
"The Yellow Wallpaper" Literary Analysis The "Yellow Wallpaper" is a iconic short story written by Charlotte Perkins, a famous feminist author. The novel takes place the 19th century and deals with the issue of how women dealt with mental health issues, specifically postpartum depression. Back in the 19th century the way physicians dealt with women 's mental health was much different then it is today, back then they believed that the cure for depression was solvable by isolation and rest. As a result
With The Yellow Wallpaper, the author attempts to demonstrate the importance of the feminist movement by showing the suffering women have to endure under the current gender roles. Gilman criticizes the rest cure and suppression of women with her story by demonstrating the consequences of a society in which men have all control. To better analyze this story the Gender Criticism theory can be applied. Gender Criticism is "an extension of feminist literary criticism http://2012books.lardbucket.org/
Assignment Title: Text Analysis Exercise Introduction Charlotte Perkins Gilman was best known for her writings regarding the unequal status of women within the constraint of marriage. Gilman, as a sociologist and a reformer, argued that women's traditional role in domestic sphere confined their creativity and intelligence. The text to be analyzed here is a remarkable work of Gilman's: the short story The Yellow Wallpaper. The story is set in 1892 and is told in strict first-person narration in
literature, in every genre, written by women. Studies of women's writings have revealed that there are certain common themes that tend to take the place at the top in the women's literature. Since the first moment of the feminist movement, the number of literary works has been increased as the result of women's liberation and their revolt, having as exposed themes the ideal of female equality. One of the most encountered themes of feminist writing is its insistence on expressing and valuing women's point

text: The Non-Resident Importer (NRI) Program The Non-Resident Importer (NRI) Program A Non-Resident Importer (NRI) is a business based outside of Canada, who does not have a physical presence in Canada, but imports goods into Canada as the Importer of Record. The Non-Resident Importer (NRI) Program is an initiative of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) that allows United States / international exporters to sell products to Canadian customers directly on a delivered-price basis, without the need for a physical presence in Canada. Registering as an NRI offers many benefits, including better control over your supply chain, an increased ability to compete in the Canadian marketplace, and opportunities to provide better service to Canadian customers. The following provides an overview of the benefits of becoming a Non-Resident Importer, your responsibilities as an NRI, and how to register to the NRI Program. Further details can be found in our guide, The Non-Resident Guide to Importing Goods into Canada (downloadable PDF). Who is a Non-Resident Importer? A Non-Resident Importer (NRI) is a business based outside of Canada, who does not have a physical presence in Canada, but imports goods into Canada under their own name. By registering as an Non-Resident Importer, your company becomes the Importer of Record into Canada. Becoming the Importer of Record offers many benefits, but mainly the ability to include all of the costs of shipping and customs clearance into one price to the customer. The sale resembles a domestic transaction for your Canadian customer, making your product easier to purchase. The risk of becoming the Importer of Record is that you are responsible for complying with the many rules and regulations associated with importing goods into Canada under the Customs Act and Customs Tariff Act. What are the Benefits of Becoming an NRI? Reduced Costs Non-Resident Importers do not need a physical establishment in Canada to sell to Canadian consumers. This reduces operating and overhead expenses associated with infrastructure, employees, warehousing, and distribution. Being an NRI also contributes to savings within your supply chain. As both the exporter in your own country and the importer in Canada you are better able to estimate and control shipping and import-related costs. These costs can be further reduced by consolidating shipments as goods only have to be cleared once. Supply Chain Control As both the exporter and the importer, you control the shipping process. This allows you to manage the movement of your goods and potential bottlenecks in the supply chain. Becoming an NRI also allows you to create consistency in your import processes, reducing delays at the border and delivery times to customers. Accessibility for Customers NRIs can offer direct delivery to Canadian customers, removing the administration and "hidden fees" often associated with buying products internationally. Becoming the Importer of Record in Canada allows you to sell your products to customers on a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) basis (Incoterms 2020), meaning you pay all the costs of delivering the goods door-to-door to your customer. For the customer, the online or invoice price is the final amount paid and shipment tracking is provided directly by the seller. Competitive in the Canadian Marketplace Reduced costs and easier access for Canadian consumers allows you to compete more effectively and increase your sales and market share in Canada. As a Non-Resident Importer, your sales resemble domestic transactions to Canadian customers – similar to purchasing the products from a Canadian company. What are the Responsibilities of an NRI? The biggest risk of becoming a Non-Resident Importer is the responsibility for compliance with the many customs laws and regulations related to importing goods. As the Importer of Record, you are liable for submitting accurate and complete information to the CBSA, paying the applicable duty and taxes, and maintaining records. Failure to submit the required information and payments may result in fines and penalties under the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS), confiscation of goods, or being prohibited from future importations. 1. Submitting Correct Information Goods imported into Canada require specific information for clearance by CBSA at the border, including: Correct tariff classification for the product being imported; A Canada Customs Invoice (CCI) or commercial invoice detailing the same information as a CCI; A Certificate of Origin to apply preferential tariff treatment (e.g. CUSMA, CETA, etc.); Additional information/documents for the specific product being imported (e.g. import permits). Tariff Classification The Customs Tariff provides tariff classifications and rates of duty for thousands of products based on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS Code) – the universal coding structure used in international trade. As the Importer of Record, you are responsible for ensuring that the tariff classification for the product you are importing is correct on documentation submitted to the CBSA. Canada Customs Invoice All commercial shipments imported into Canada must include a commercial invoice providing specific information including, but not limited to, the buyer and seller, country of origin, price paid or payable, quantity and description of the goods. A Canada Customs Invoice (CCI) is required for shipments with Value for Duty of CAD $2,500 or more. For shipments valued under CAD $2,500, a commercial invoice may be used provided it details the same information as a CCI. NRIs may also submit both a CCI and commercial invoice with their shipment. As an NRI your selling price will include duty, Goods and Services Tax (GST), customs brokerage, and freight/shipping costs. All charges must be stated on your commercial invoice so that duty and GST is calculated on the correct value. The HS Code provides for accurate calculation of duty, based on the tariff classification and country of origin. Certificate of Origin In order to take advantage of reduced or eliminated duty rates under a Free Trade Agreement, such as CUSMA or CETA, a Certificate of Origin or Origin Declaration must be provided at the time of customs clearance. NRIs benefit from the CUSMA Agreement in that a "blanket" CUSMA Certificate of Origin (downloadable PDF) is only required once per year, covering all imported shipments into Canada for a one-year period. Read more: Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Import Permits Certain goods entering Canada are controlled and/or restricted and require an Import Permit for importation. Examples of products listed on Canada's Import Control List include certain steel, dairy, textile products, as well as military goods and firearms. PGA Requirements Depending on the nature of the product, your imports may be subject to Participating Government Departments and Agencies (PGA) requirements. Examples of products affected by PGA regulations include food, pharmaceuticals, plants, and animals. CBSA provides a list of some of the most commonly imported commodities that may require permits and/or certificates from other federal government departments and agencies. 2. Paying Duties & Taxes Valuation In accordance with the Customs Act, a "Value for Duty" (VFD) must be declared for all goods imported to Canada. The primary method of valuation in Canada is the Transaction Value Method. Under this method, the value for duty is based on the price paid or payable for imported goods with consideration to certain adjustments. Non-Resident Importers face challenges when applying valuation methods to their products. As both the exporter and importer it is more difficult to demonstrate an arm's length transaction and reliable invoice price. We recommend NRIs or importers without substantial operations in Canada contact us for further assistance when considering valuation. Duty The Customs Tariff provides tariff classifications and rates of duty for imported commodities based on the HS Code. As the Importer of Record, you are responsible for payment of duties owed on imported goods. Taxes Goods and services imported and sold in Canada are subject to a federal Goods and Services Tax (GST). NRIs carrying out business in Canada must register for the GST and may be required to post a GST security bond. GST is applied at a rate of 5% of the duty paid value of the goods upon import. An NRI registered for GST can recover the GST paid the CBSA by claiming an Input Tax Credit (ITC). An NRI who simply sells goods to Canadian customers on a landed, duty-paid basis is not considered to be carrying out business in Canada and is not required to register for the GST. In this scenario, the non-registered NRI is not eligible to claim the GST paid to CBSA, and therefore incorporates the GST into the selling price and transfers (or assigns) the Input Tax Credit to the Canadian customer. In addition to the GST, each Canadian province has its own provincial sales tax to which an NRI carrying out business in Canada must register. Taxes vary, with some provinces having a Provincial Sales Tax (PST), and other harmonizing their taxes into a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). The rate of tax varies between provinces. 3. Maintaining Records All companies or individuals importing or exporting to/from Canada must maintain accurate records of their activity for a period of six (6) years plus the current year. Under authorization from the CBSA, a Non-Resident Importer may designate their Customs Broker to prepare, submit, and maintain all shipment-related documentation and records. The NRI must submit a request in writing to the CBSA for approval. Alternatively, NRIs may submit a letter of undertaking to CBSA for authorization to maintain records at their place of business outside of Canada. How to Become an NRI in Canada 1. Apply for a Canadian Business Number (BN) To become a Non-Resident Importer you must first obtain a Business Number (BN) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) prior to importing into Canada. The Business Number is a unique 15-digit number assigned to companies in Canada to transact with governmental agencies. As an importer, you will require an import/export account. Import/export accounts are identified by the two-letter business account 'RM' (e.g. 123456789RM0001). Import/export account numbers must be entered on documents submitted to CBSA for customs clearance and are only used when importing or exporting. To register for a Business Number, or add an import/export account to an existing Business Number, contact the CRA's Business Window at 1-800-959-5525, or register online using the Business Registration Online (BRO) service. You may also complete Form RC1, Request for Business Number (BN) and mail or fax it to your nearest tax service office. 2. Register with the CBSA Non-Resident Importers must register with the CBSA, advising of the location in which records will be kept (or submitting a letter of undertaking to request approval from CBSA to maintain records outside of Canada). We Can Help The simplest way to register for the Non-Resident Importer Program is through a Customs Broker, like PF Collins. By completing a General Agency Agreement (downloadable PDF), we can assist with the NRI registration and guide you through all aspects of importing to Canada. We can also arrange transportation services for your imports from the U.S. or international shipping point to final destination in Canada. If you need assistance in registering as a Non-Resident Importer or would like more information, please contact our Customs Consulting Department or your local PF Collins office. We offer a full range of international trade and logistics services to assist with all your importing and exporting needs.

Millrock Resources (TSX-V: MRO) CEO Greg Beischer on the Compelling Drill Target Emerging at West Pogo in the Goodpaster Gold District Project in Alaska
Gerardo Del Real: This is Gerardo Del Real with Resource Stock Digest. Joining me today is the President and CEO of Millrock Resources (TSX-V: MRO)(OTC: MLRKF), Mr. Greg Beischer. Greg, good morning to you.
Greg Beischer: Good morning, Gerardo. Always a pleasure.
Gerardo Del Real: Greg, you and I chatted at Beaver Creek last. When we talked there was a really good possibility of a high-grade discovery that Northern Star's Pogo Gold Mine was vectoring towards the massive, district-scale land package that you've managed to put together there.
That inspired a geophysical survey that I know is a very important part of what's next in Millrock's future here. I'm not a geologist, but just looking over the data here, in my amateur opinion, it looks like it delivered everything you were hoping for. It looks like you have a pretty damn compelling drill target at West Pogo.
Can you provide the details and make that sound a little bit smarter and more geologically appropriate?
Greg Beischer: Yeah. Sure thing, Gerardo. Bear in mind first of all, that at West Pogo this is but one small block out of a giant tract of claims that Millrock's staked recently, though we've held property, built the land position up slowly over the last 5 years. We've had the unique opportunity to capture just about all the land and known prospects within what I consider is going to be an entire mining camp one day.
We do have an absolutely compelling drill target at West Pogo. First of all, just on closeology, you can see the Pogo Gold Mine from the ridgetops on the project. Abuts directly against the mine's property. That's one good line of evidence. There's the saying that mines are often found in the shadow of a headframe and that's true, I think. But there's lots of other lines of evidence that have been pointing to a gold-bearing vein system coming right onto our property.
We know that the trend from the mine is to the northwest. Well, we own the land in the northwest and eventually it should come onto our property, but we always thought it was going to be rather deep. That's why we're quite pleased and surprised when Northern Star, the Pogo Mine operator, announced a new discovery northwest of the mine that was actually quite shallow. And so a fault just must've brought the mineralized quartz veins back closer to surface.
And we have at West Pogo other very good indications, strong gold soil, bismuth and arsenic in the soil, high-grade samples of gold bearing quartz at surface and a couple of historic drill holes that intersected narrow, high-angle veins. Lots of good signs of evidence pointing to a gold deposit on our property. In the magnetics, we could see the very similar signature as occurs at the Pogo Mine.
This was the final piece of evidence. We used a survey called CSAMT. It was a rather expensive survey but it's really quite diagnostic for the purpose that we were using. And sure enough we got strong positive responses just exactly at the locations where we thought we should have seen them were there to be a gold deposit below surface. It was an expensive survey, but in our view now, well worth that investment because it makes the prospect that much more attractive.
It's the final piece of evidence we needed. It's ready to drill and it's a really compelling target and that's going to make the entire property much more valuable if we do bring in a partner. In any event, it's a really compelling drill target.
Gerardo Del Real: I know it's a sensitive question, so let me try to be a little bit artsy in the way that I word this. Whether you decide to drill this on your own or bring in a partner that is willing to delineate an aggressive exploration program for this very compelling target, when is the earliest that we could finally get the truth machine out there to see if there is something underneath the ground? Drilling of course is what I'm referencing.
Greg Beischer: Right. That is a decision we have to make some time soon. We've been holding off saying, "Well, we're going to decide whether to drill it ourselves or bring in a partner when the time comes." Well the time is here now. Whatever we do, partner or not, we're going to go ahead and install the drill trail. It's about a five-kilometer drill trail coming off the Pogo Mine road up to Aurora Creek where we've got the first series of great responses, the really compelling drill targets that we've developed.
That'll give us the optionality then to be drilling just a few months from now in February and March. It's cold in Alaska at that time of year, but it can be a great time to drill as long as you've got a water source. We'll put in the road and we'll drill a water well and that'll give us that optionality to drill that quickly. Whether it's a partner-funded drill program or Millrock-funded, we want to get going quickly. We want to start making moves and see if there's gold in the ground there.
Gerardo Del Real: And this would be, again, just on a very small part, a compelling part obviously of the land package, but a small part of what is a massive, district-scale package.
You mentioned initially about the potential for this to become not just a big significant discovery, but a camp, a camp that yields multiple significant discoveries. Are you approaching it that way when you have these negotiations with potential partners?
Greg Beischer: I'm absolutely insistent on it, Gerardo. It's such a unique opportunity to have been able to acquire, by staking at very low cost, an entire mining district with numerous showings and occurrences of gold at various places all across the district. You know, there are prospects on open ground yet that we could have staked. We know about them from our big database of information. But you can't stake everything.
But if one were to take the approach that we're going to explore this entire camp systematically, continuously over a decade I think multiple ore bodies can be found. So any partner that we've been talking to, we've made it very, very clear that not all the money can go into just this highly compelling West Pogo prospect. There's going to be multiple prospects like that. We'll try to develop a couple each year and over that 8 or 10-year period, drill a couple every year. I think that's going to result in multiple discoveries.
Gerardo Del Real: Not a lot of juniors out there that have the flexibility to negotiate potentially decade-long deals. I got to congratulate you and the team. I know there was a good 6 to 12-month period where I as a shareholder was worried. I knew the company had enough projects and the network to continue on, but I just didn't see where that big, big catalyst was going to come from.
I don't want to say you pulled a rabbit out of a hat, Greg, because it was a lot of hard work, but you got it done. I am as excited for the Millrock story as I have been in quite some time. Anything else that you'd like to add to that?
Greg Beischer: Yeah. We didn't just pull this out. It's been something we've been building on over 5 years. But I'll agree with you, there were some very, very dicey times in our history over this 6-year horrendous downturn.
It was gut wrenching at times. But if you can get through those bad times and position for the good times, which appear to be coming, and I think we really did it right with this project. We're really happy and excited to get going in earnest on it and get that drill turning.
Gerardo Del Real: Well, you might be well on your way to becoming a 5-year overnight success, Greg. Congrats again.
Greg Beischer: Yeah. Thanks a lot, Gerardo.
Gerardo Del Real: Look forward to chatting next time. Hopefully we're talking about a decision being made about whether you're going to go at this alone or bring in a partner that recognizes the potential on this. Again, just a potential camp maker.
Greg Beischer: Right, exactly. That's the next step.
Gerardo Del Real: Sounds good. Chat soon. Thanks again, Greg.
Greg Beischer: Okay. Bye, Gerardo

Hi, I DJ with a USB stick in LINK mode in Deck 1, I have to do a change over and so the next DJ put his USB in Deck 2 and hit USB so he could see his USB Stick and not the LINK info from mine, he manages to mix in to my track from his USB on Deck 2 but when I hit USB Stop on Deck 1 to eject my USB both decks stop and the music cut from his USB on Deck 2. How can I eject my USB on Deck 1 safely while he plays his USB on Deck 2, do I have to Unlink somehow before I eject ? Does he have to link his USB to Deck 1 first ?

If the drives are correctly formatted, and the firmware is the same on both decks, then when he comes in you should be able to hit eject on your drive without effecting his music. What model CDJs are you using?
Hey, thanks for the response - it was the CDJ 2000 Nexus. I did notice that when I pressed the USB Stop button the volume would get lower, I guess as a warning that playback would stop, but I didn't think it would stop the USB on deck 2 if I was pressing it on deck 1, which it did. The drives were both formatted and working using rekordbox, the firmware is the updated and the same on both decks.
It was as if because deck 1 was still linked to deck 2 when I hit USB stop on deck 1 both decks stopped, even though deck 2 was using the USB and not the link. Maybe I have to unlink before I stop Deck 1 ?
Both decks should not stop, I do this maneuver on a weekly basis and the players never behaves like this. Has this happened only once? Then my guess is that the DJ that took over by accident played his / hers first song from your stick.
It was def not from my stick as I don't have the song he played

Characterization of the microbial community aerosolized in residential showers
Caya, Alexandra
MetadataShow full item record
A wide range of microorganisms are present in the tap water that reaches residential homes, including potential pathogens. Additionally, biofilms that contain potential pathogens grow in residential premise plumbing, in showerheads, and on shower-associated surfaces. Showers produce respirable droplets, and thus may aerosolize microbes from the water or from shower-associated biofilms. Inhalation of bioaerosols containing potential pathogens is an important human infection route, and previous studies have implicated showers as a source of airborne microbial infections. However, no previous studies have fully characterized the transient changes in the airborne microbial community resulting from residential shower operation. This study is the first to characterize the short-term changes in the airborne bacterial community resulting from shower operation using molecular methods. Shower aerosol samples were collected with a high-throughput bioaerosol sampler, which allowed the collection of short-duration samples to provide a time-series picture of the transient changes in the airborne microbial community during shower operation. Culture-independent molecular methods were used to quantify the microbial aerosol loads during shower operation, and to identify the genus-level diversity and relative abundances of bacteria present in shower bioaerosols. The results of this research show that residential shower operation does result in an increase in airborne bacterial loads, and impacts the airborne bacterial community diversity. The relative abundances of many specific bacterial genera, some of which contain pathogenic species, were increased during shower operation. Overall, the airborne bacterial community during shower operation is different than the ambient, background airborne community. This research additionally compared different methods to extract DNA from short-duration, environmental bioaerosol samples. The results indicate that different extraction methods can significantly impact resultant microbial quantity and diversity estimates. An extraction method for bioaerosol samples should be chosen carefully based on the specific goals of each research project.

For the past two years I have had my head buried in BIM. I spent the first 12 months just trying to get my head around things. However, for the past 12 months I have been trying to put in place practical approaches to delivering the 'I' in BIM on all our projects.
We are now are at a point when we move our emphasis to making our models richer in terms of data for our new projects starting in July. One of the hardest things has been to work out what data we need to put into our models and when. I have always known what the 'goals' were as this is largely discussed in documents such as the American Institute of Architects Level of Development (LOD) document. Level of Development is not strictly applicable in the UK but many users continue to use this as a practical approach to projects given the lack of anything else to work from.
We now have PAS1192-2:2013 which defines Level of Definition. Level of Definition is made up of Level of model Detail, the graphical content of the model and Level of model Information (LOI), which is the data. However there is nothing that states what this data actually is. We also have the CIC BIM Protocol, which talks solely about Level of Detail and defines 7 stages. This makes no reference to LOI and again there are no specifics on data. There is of course, the Digital Plan of Work (dPoW) planned (its currently in the Labs area of the BIM Task Group site), which should fill this void but I have real concerns that this won't tackle data from the right angle.
We talked about our journey back in May 2012 at BIM Show Live 2. Looking back there was a lot of naivety in what we presented but equally there are plenty of messages that still stand true even now. The final part of that presentation talked about an example of data from one of our doors. Initially when we issued our model, we got the response that there was no data in our model (and IFC got the blame!). We changed our export settings and sent out all our data. The response we got was there was now too much data and that we had created information overload! So we worked out that just one door could export something in the region of 650 pieces of data! I also had worked out that at the time we were creating something like 100 pieces of data. Now in truth a lot of this would never be needed by others but my presentation was very much a plea for someone to define what data is actually required.
So for the past 12 months we have faced the repeated question of, "Why is there no data for some of your elements?" Of course there is the myth that the architect is simply creating the data they previously created before, but more efficiently and this is definitely not the case in my opinion. So my response to a lack of data has often been, "Well, what do you want?" This wasn't me being stubborn, although I am naturally stubborn, but whilst I understood a model might be required for quantification for example, the real question was what data will allow you to quantify that specific element. No one gave me the answer, so I gave up and decided to tackle this another way.
It has been a two-pronged approach. Firstly, we have been working with live projects and delivering specific packages of data. Although even when we have agreed a list of deliverables there are often requests for additional information once we have completed the exercise. Some of this is useful and informs our understanding of data and some of the requests are somewhat naive about what information can be delivered in my opinion. This exercise has allowed us to better understand others' requirements and consider the impact on our work.
Whilst the live projects have been progressing I have also been interrogating our authoring software and looking at the data fields that can be completed and exported. This has been alongside the testing we talked about in our last opinion piece. There are essentially three ways of exporting data from our models – all native data, selected native data or just IFC data. Dumping out all the native data was creating huge file sizes and mapping native data was too time consuming to be practical on our projects. We therefore opted for creating and exporting just IFC data. This route also allows us to deliver COBie and the aim is to try and deliver as much COBie data as possible as part of our standard deliverable. It will take time but I believe we can make this as commonplace as producing floor plans and elevations.
From a COBie point of view, the data requirements are very clear. There are defined fields that need to be created and a defined mapping with IFC. The difficult part was in working out where this IFC data sat in our authoring tool. Having spent a long time working it out, our vendor kindly published a document of where to put the information. I needn't have bothered although I learnt a lot in the process. I did also input my comments to the vendor and we have now seen improvements based on those comments. So now, from a COBie point of view, information is "relatively" straightforward.
However, COBie is ultimately a facilities management deliverable and most of the data is unsuitable for the day-to-day delivery of construction projects that need data for costing and sequencing in particular for contractors. At the moment our main focus is on delivering data for the construction part of the process as most of our requests for BIM come from contractors rather than clients. So rather than simply looking at all the fields that would be nice to have we have tried to look at what is the least information we can put in our models. For me the more information you put in a model the more chance there is for errors. We should also not forget that data adds to file size in much the same way geometry adds to file size. Data needs to be manageable by the author for it to be reliable. Without reliable data we risk a real mess and the legal teams will be all over it.
The other really important thing with data and being an architect is that data should not dictate design. In building our approach the designer must have full control of their design ideas and not be constrained by the need to input data. In many ways this search for what I would describe as the 'holy grail' has reached a point where we might have at least reached a happy compromise.
So going back to a door we are now looking at about 25 pieces of data, maximum, that will be exported. About half of this can be delivered as soon as a door is placed in the model as most of this is automated. This means costing can be done at Stage C (or 2 depending on which RIBA Plan of Work we are talking about) provided the doors have been created. The other data can be added as the project progresses. We also have setup ways of checking this data within the authoring tool, which is crucial to ensuring the quality of the data. This is manageable by those inputting the data and almost more importantly those using the data. It's realistic and achievable and should allow our models to deliver information that is also going to be manageable by others.
So in conclusion, I hope that the Digital Plan of Work will deliver a sensible approach to data deliverables for projects and not simply tackle it from what can be delivered, but what needs to be delivered. For me, it's about avoiding information overload and creating the right data at the right time.

Digital Currencies Hacked Thanks to the NSA
by: The Knowledge GroupSeptember 25, 2018
When Bitcoin was first launched and realized, it became extremely popular due to one particular aspect: it couldn't be hacked. The specific code structure made the electronic currency extremely reliable and generally impossible to fiddle with. However, that was more than a decade ago. Since then the federal government has become very familiar with Bitcoin and similar. Enforcement agencies have since created tools for surveillance which also been stolen. Long story short, what was supposed to be secure has now become unsecured thanks to the government's original need to control society's behavior.
Hackers have been quite appreciative of all the work federal agencies spent years on creating, and they put those tools to good use. Bitcoin, Monero and similar digital currencies have now been realizing exploits, which have also potentially undermined the future use of these currencies. Like any currency, when someone starts printing dollar bills like crazy, the buying power of every dollar existing then decreases from rapid inflation.
Identified cases of actual digital currency hacking, the electronic form of runaway Argentine currency presses running 24/7, have jumped more than 450 percent in one year. Much of this increased hacking has been tied to one tool, Eternal Blue. That tool got loose by a hack on the NSA and the culprits turning around and making the software available on the dark-net right after. It's important to note that the currency code itself is not what is being attacked, so a given Bitcoin is not suddenly being changed in value from $100 to $1 million. Instead, Eternal Blue is being used to hack other users' computers to use them for zombie mining or generating Bitcoins without the owners knowing how their equipment is being used. That, in turn, floods the digital field with lots of illegal Bitcoins owned by the hacker. Again, an uncontrolled flow of new currency availability introduces rampant inflation which then kills the value of the same currency.
Monero has been the main victim so far with almost 9 out of 10 attacks, but Bitcoin has seen about 10 percent of criminal activity as well. The NSA was not very verbose in a response on the matter; while the agency provided the standard response that criminal activity is a high risk in the digital world, destabilizing electronic currencies is seen in some Washington DC corners as a good thing. It forces people back to government-controlled monies and dampens markets the government can't regulate as well. And that means far more predictable taxing as well as societal economic restraint.

Project ideas and inspiration from Good magazine
Combine paint and a vinyl adhesive to great effect.
Table tops are a fantastic place to get a bit creative. Adhesive vinyls are available from a variety of hardware and homeware stores, and here I have transformed a boring old low coffee table using a copper-look vinyl together with great new paint shades from the latest Resene Fashion colours range.
You will need:
Vinyl tips:
Step 1: Give all paintable surfaces a light sand to help the paint to bond. Next, wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth.
Step 2: Paint all surfaces of the coffee table with Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat. Allow to fully dry. If your table is very smooth, use Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer instead of Resene Quick Dry.
Before refinishing
Step 3: Use masking tape to mark the shapes you want on the tabletop.
Step 4: Topcoat one area on the tabletop plus all lower surfaces using Resene waterborne enamel. I used Resene White Island.
Step 5: Paint a second area on the tabletop using the testpot. I used Resene Triple Duck Egg Blue - a lovely blue grey that is a perfect foil for shiny copper. Allow to dry and apply a second coat as necessary. Remove the masking tape when both coats are dry fully dry. Allow approximately 24 hours depending on the weather conditions.
Step 6: Place the vinyl adhesive upside down over the area of the coffee table you wish to cover, using objects to hold it in place. Mark the edge with a pen and lay the vinyl on a flat surface before carefully cutting along the edge.
Step 7: Peel off one end of the vinyl and fix it in place before removing the rest of the backing and sticking it down, smoothing out any wrinkles as you go.
Step 8: Cut extra vinyl strips to cover any gaps left by the masking tape (top right), and if you want, add an extra strip around the edge of the tabletop

Hatter The Gr8 – "It's A Trip"
Hatter The Gr8 originally from Olympia, WA has had one of hell of a ride early in his career. The upstart artist is now based out of LA, but that movie to the Sunshine State didn't start as "sunny" as he would've liked. Due to unforeseen circumstances Hatter The Gr8 spent some of his early days in Cali being hungry and homeless.
The song , "It's A Trip" was written during this dark period and is a reflection of the determination it took for him to stick it out and not go running back home when things weren't looking up.
The crisp visuals for this video were directed by Crown Jewel Ent. and features an appearance from young model Natalie Alvarez. The track was produced by Supa Stylez who has handled production work for such notable artists as Talib Kweli and Styles P.
Watch the video for, "It's A Trip" off of the mixtape, Just Gr8, by Hatter The Gr8 below via YouTube:
