With spring just around the corner, it's a great time to take stock of your exterior solar and low voltage lighting.
Here are some pointers on taking care of your lighting fixtures, whether they were taken in for storage during the winter or left outside.
We hope you review these tips to protect the investments you've made as simple things can easily destroy lights, particularly solar lighting fixtures.
Check for Contraction Damage from Freezing
Check all of your fixtures to see that they made it through the winter without damage. No matter what how your lights are powered, the contraction caused by freezing temperatures can sometimes contribute to damage. The most common thing that you may see is moisture within your fixture.
This is seen more often in plastic than metal or glass objects simply because plastic is less rigid. It is not necessarily a sign of a poorly made light, some products (particularly accent lights or water features) really shouldn't be left outdoors during freezing temperatures. It's just physics.
As long as the fixture works (and check the batteries, discussed below, before throwing anything out), this is a pretty easy fix.
If the item can be taken indoors (such as many spotlights, accent lights) do so and keep it in a dry location for a few days until the moisture is gone. Then, take some clear caulk and put a thin layer over all seams.
If your fixture cannot be taken inside (such as a mounted solar lamp), wait for a period of a few dry sunny days when any moisture of fog has dried out. Then, use clear caulk over any visible seams. This means inspecting the housing and glass for cracks, evaluating the finish, and thinking about both the performance and utility costs over the past year.
Check Batteries and Replace Them Properly
Whether you leave fixtures outside or take them in during fall clean-up (a good idea to protect accent lights in particular from rakes, snow/ice, snow shovels or plows), the first thing to check if a solar lighting fixture doesn't work is the battery. However, if you do store a product over the winter, it's best to remove batteries beforehand and clearly mark which batteries go with which product.
Two very important things to remember are:
- Always use the correct battery
- Buy batteries wisely.
The best battery for your fixture is the one for which it was designed! Each year, customers call and say that they replaced batteries and the fixture soon died. Each year, we have to tell them that warranty or not, if they used the wrong battery, they are responsible for the fixtures failure and any warranty is voided.
Some batteries don't have good shelf lives, and if you buy a product that been in a warehouse or on a shelf for a while without being used, the batteries may die very quickly. Unfortunately, we get many calls from people who think that a "better battery" will solve the problem. Trust us: it's just a bad idea.
We read on blogs and various solar lighting forums how people claim to get better performance by using different batteries (such as lead AAA batteries instead of AAA NiCad batteries.)
This may work for a few days, maybe even a week or so. But within a relatively short period, using the wrong battery will inevitably destroy the lighting fixture.
This isn't something specific to solar products: using the wrong battery will also destroy flashlights, cell phones, laptops, or any electronic product.
Buy Batteries Wisely!
It's always a good idea to save any instructions that come with any electronic product or appliance. If you didn't, most batteries are stamped with the type and size. If this isn't there or has worn off, just take the batteries to a good hardware store or home center and ask what they are. Experienced staff will be able to identify what they are. If not, call the store where you got the item and they will probably know what batteries you need.
If you have a set of lights and one battery goes, you should replace all batteries within the set. May seem like a big cost, but buying in bulk is often far cheaper, and you'll also save a lot of time.
Cleaning Solar Lights and Solar Panels Fixtures
To get the most out of your solar lights, you should regularly clean the panes as well as the glass panel. This is best done with a cotton cloth (such as a rag from an old t-shirt) that is soaked in hot water. Gentle strokes are best (even if you need to let the rag set on the fixture for a while) and you should avoid all brushes or any abrasive cleaners or pads.
Since exterior lights are made to resist water and strong sunshine, lots of warm or hot water is better than detergent. In fact, detergents should be used only when necessary such as when sap or bird droppings sully the glass or covering the solar panel. A mild, oil-free solution such dish washing liquid is best. Windex and other glass cleaners should be avoided if possible, as they could damage any protective seals.
No matter how much you may be tempted, never attempt to scrape sap or any other substance from the solar panel, as you are likely to permanently damage it. Just let the hot water melt as much as you can and let the rest wear off.
Caring for Metal Housing and Posts
Most metal on solar lamps is covered by some sort of polyurethane or clear coating, another reason why brushes and abrasive cleaners are bad news. You may want to treat any metal features with a thin coat of mineral oil to protect them and add some shine. Just make sure that the oil does not get on the glass or any plastic elements.
Whenever Possible, Move to More Efficient Light Bulbs
Given how much more energy incandescent bulbs use than alternatives, your springtime routing should include replacing incandescent bulbs with halogen, compact florescent light bulbs (CFLs) or LED alternatives. You'll quickly start to see a return on your investment, the less incandescent bulbs you use, the more you'll save!
While LEDs cost the most, LED lights lasts anywhere from 50,000 to 80,000 hours before burning out. Not only do LEDs use the least amount of energy, they last several years before replacement, unless they are broken. And, because they don't have filaments, they are downright tough especially in a light with a well-constructed housing.
And, the types of LEDs readily available at hardware stores and home centers expand all the time and the costs continually, though gradually, are decreasing.
Halogen batteries are more efficient than incandescent bulbs, but the extreme heat they generate means that careful placement is a must. Halogen bulbs, for example, should not be used in crowded sheds or outbuildings especially those that house gasoline-operated gardening equipment such as lawnmowers or leaf blowers. Similarly, if you have a spot light (solar or electric) attached to any building where dry leaves accumulate; they could also pose a fire hazard.
CFLs are the cheapest alternative, but some don't work as great in extreme cold or hot temperatures as other bulbs. Many take a few seconds to fully "turn-on" and some make an annoying buzz which frankly is more of a nuisance indoors than outside. However, CFLs contain mercury and must be disposed of in the same way that you would dispose of household hazards such as some paints, paint thinners, chemicals, etc. All in all, however, CFLs are the cheapest and easiest to find replacements for
Sooner or Later, All Things Come to an End
No matter how well things are taken care of, there does come a point where something has "seen its better days." Perhaps the fixture's finish is shot or the glass is badly scratched or worn. At this point, consider whether outdoor solar lights are an appropriate option. Continually advancing technology in batteries, solar panels, bulbs and housing means better, more reliable options are available every season. This includes products designed for areas that do not get great sunlight!
When checking your solar and non-solar products, it's also worthwhile to evaluate your products' performance last year. If you weren't happy with a particular item, if some lights are looking dated or worn, or you want lower utility bills, March and April is the time when many new solar lights hit the market.
But that's another story.

No, I don't require feats of physical prowess to participate in the Workshop. Here, Kathy has decided that "make a strong offer" in a 3-Line Drill wasn't just a metaphor. You'll find more photos from this night in our album.
After our warm ups, including the 1-Word Story, we did a 5-Letter Word scene as our first stage work. Next, everyone had a chance to work in a Stinky, Sexy, Silly scene.
We all sang an Irish Drinking Song, and then on to some advanced work. We started with a 3-Line Drill to get everyone prepared for open scene work. We did a couple of rounds of Montage to practice scene transitions and open scenes, and I must say that we need to practice more often.
My favorite line of the night:

BY: MEGAN FERRINGER Editor - Caring Transitions Contributor Sherri Gillette came to Caring Transitions in a roundabout way. For decades she worked in corporate marketing and sales, doing work on the behalf of others. But then, seemingly overnight, she grew tired of it all. At the same time, as she was on the hunt for a new career, she decided to move from Iowa to Arizona. And in the midst of that transition, her mother decided to make the move to Tucson with them. The coordination of the big move, Gillette said, was challenging. And as a marketing person, it spurred an idea in her head—maybe other people experienced those same challenges during their lifetime, too. Gillette started researching ways to take advantage of that opportunity. She knew a few things were certain—she enjoyed helping others, and she wanted to work with the senior population. That's when she found Caring Transitions. "Caring Transitions was a beautiful marriage of things I love. I believed there was a lot of opportunity in the industry, too. There are families everywhere who are in need of a helping hand," Gillette said. "So after attending a Discovery Day, looking at competitors and researching movers in town, I realized this was the total solution." In particular, Gillette was intrigued by the multiple profit centers that Caring Transitions offered—from relocation and downsizing to estate sales and full service moves, the brand offered everything needed to make major life transitions as seamless as possible. In November 2010, Gillette officially opened her Caring Transitions business of Southern Arizona. And so far, it's an investment that's paid off in a big way. In fact, in 2015, she was recognized by the national Caring Transitions corporate team with their Pioneer Spirit Award. "Sherri has developed a strategy that has helped many offices to assist clients, solving the question of what do we do when the client has too few items to hold an estate sale, by pioneering the multi-client estate sale for Caring Transitions. Sherri's team is passionately involved in new franchisee training, truly helping to shape the future of Caring Transitions through intensive in field training of the Caring Transition concepts for new offices," said Caring Transitions Corporate President Chris Seman. Gillette said supporting other franchise offices and offering her business as an On-Site Training Center is something that came naturally to her and her team. "We believe in the value of fully supporting our clients with every part of the powerful Caring Transitions model. So, we appreciate being able to share our commitment to the southern Arizona market with others from across the country--because we want to inspire them to make the same commitment to their clients in their markets. When everyone across the country begins using all of the available opportunities to serve our senior clients, we all win," Gillette said. Today, Gillette runs the business with her husband Matt, General Manager Ann Williams, Online Sales Manager Jeff Smith, Estate Sales Manager Cheree Miller, Finance Manager Ben Allen and a team of more than 18 full-time and part-time employees. "We have also been wives, mothers, husbands, fathers, daughters, sons, granddaughters and grandsons and have helped our own beloved parents and grandparents navigate through many of life's changes, so we can assure our clients that we will act as their compassionate onsite advocate, keeping their best interests at heart," Gillette said. In addition to the actual work the company does every day, Gillette said owning this type of business has impacted her on a personal level. "I have gained great humility and even greater respect for the senior community. I am smarter, kinder, gentler, and better because of their impact on me personally. I am also pleased to be a solid employer in this market. I believe we have the best team members and I am very proud of how they care for our clients, their treasures, and their dignity. We love what we do and who we serve," she said.

The mountain gorillas (Gorilla Gorilla Berengie), arguably the world's most endangered ape, is found only in small portions of protected afro Montane forests in northwest Rwanda, southwest Uganda and south-eastern DRC. The mountain gorilla is one of many species unique to these forests. The volcanic slopes
here are lush and also home to many wonderful birds, primates, mammals, reptile species, insects,
and forests.
here are lush and also home to many wonderful birds, primates, mammals, reptile species, insects,
and forests.
Where do Mountain Gorillas live in Uganda / Rwanda?
Hidden high among the forest blanketed volcanoes of gorilla tracking in the Virunga region of east Africa; not until 1902, the mountain gorilla was not known to science when 2 gorillas were first encountered by a German explorer and eventually killed. This prepared grounds for the relationship.
For much of the time since, due to deforestation and poaching, it has seemed that the mountain gorilla was swiftly destined to be lost to the world again. Not long after the species' greatest champion, the American zoologist Dian Fossey was killed in Rwanda in 1985-there were fewer than 300 of the giant primates left in the wild.
Currently, almost 50% of the world's 800 remaining mountain gorillas live in the Virunga Mountains of East and central Africa, at the boarder of Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The behaviors of mountain Gorillas:
Mountain Gorillas can climb trees, but are usually found on the ground in communities of up to 30 individuals. These are known by various names; Gorilla families, Groups or troops. These gorilla families are organized according to fascinating social structures. Gorilla families are led by one dominant, older adult male, often called a silverback because of the swath of silver hair that adorns his otherwise dark fur. Gorilla families also include several other young males, some females, and their offspring. The leader organizes troop activities like eating, nesting in leaves, and moving about the group's 0.75-to-16-square-mile (2-to-40-square-kilometer) home range. Female gorillas give birth to one infant after a pregnancy of approximately 9 months. Unlike their powerful parents, newborns are relatively tiny and lighter, weighing 4 pounds (two kilograms) and only able to cling to their mothers' fur. These infants ride on their mothers' backs from when they are 4 months until they are two or three years old.
Young gorillas, from three to six years old usually depict human children behaviors and life style; much of their time is spent in play, climbing trees, chasing one another and swinging from branches to branches.
Unlike lowland Gorillas, the mountain gorillas have longer hair and shorter arms and they also tend to be a bit larger than other gorillas.
Powers of a silverback in a gorilla family:
Fellow gorillas that challenge the alpha male, Silver back, are suitable to be frightened by impressive shows of physical power. He may stand upright, throw things, make aggressive charges, and pound his huge chest while barking out powerful hoots or unleashing a worrisome roar. Despite these displays and the animals' obvious physical power, gorillas are generally calm and non-aggressive unless they are disturbed.
While planning your Uganda gorilla safari or any Rwanda Gorilla safari, one should not miss out on the magnificent opportunity to visit Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park or Uganda's Bwindi impenetrable national park respectively. The lushly forested slopes of the mountains form an appropriately dramatic natural setting for what is arguably the most poignant and memorable Gorilla trekking tour in the world.

Over this past week, the British pound experienced another major tumble of about 7 percent. It was a knee-jerk reaction as markets woke up to reality and Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May began laying out the path she envisioned for legally pushing Britain's divorce with the European Union.
May took a "hard" Brexit stance that the market felt would do more damage to the UK economy than good.
Immigration control was brought to the forefront, with strict control of the UK's borders as a priority, and trade was sacrificed as May spoke of Britain giving up preferential access to the EU single market because she wanted the UK to be a "fully independent, sovereign country."
To put a nail in the coffin, she originally wanted Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty (which legally starts the Brexit process) to be triggered by next March – without a debate in Parliament.
Clearly, markets were expecting a "softer" Brexit process, with Britain possibly retaining some trade privileges with the EU. It seemed surprising that the exact democratic process that the British people voted for was actually ignored.
The following day, pro-Europe Tories persuaded Prime Minister May to moderate her stance. She now says she will allow Parliament to debate the Brexit negotiations. This eased the pound's tumble a bit, with more than a 1.2 percent one-day rally, but some damage had already been done.
These are the problems that the financial markets recognize in a "hard" Brexit:
- Nationalistic immigration laws may force the departure of the rich, skilled foreign labor force that Britain's economy has heavily relied on for many years. This includes the financial industry – some banks are already starting to pack their bags.
- Britain currently trades with 50 countries, with half of its trade coming from Europe. New trade agreements cannot be negotiated until two years after Article 50 is triggered. With Britain's trade position at a standstill by 2019, their already huge current account deficit – one of the biggest in the world – may become even larger, putting further downward pressure on the pound.
- Completely giving up tariff-free access to the single market means that trade terms would be widely less favorable to the UK economy. This would damage UK exporters.
- Britain's "divorce bill" from the EU, which settles shared payment liabilities, is as much as €20 billion. British taxpayers have to pay this, which could choke future consumer spending.
My View: Back in June, the Brexit proponents' intention was to take control of their country and become fully independent from a political union.

Last Friday afternoon I received a call from Jay Leno asking if I would appear as a guest on The Tonight Show to try to help make some sense of the national tragedy that had happened earlier that day at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. The facts were still coming in as I rushed across town to the studios of NBC, but we knew by airtime that this would go down as one of the worst tragedies in the history of the nation; a tragedy that took the lives of so many precious and priceless children.
Searching for what to say to a national television audience, I did what I always do when I don't have the words for the occasion; I said a prayer and then I went to my library to consult with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I wanted to re-read what King had to say when he gave the eulogy for the four little girls killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., on Sept. 15, 1963. Though the circumstances were clearly quite different, I wanted to read once more what Dr. King had to say to a nation struggling with the needless loss of innocent young life. That moment had galvanized the Civil Rights movement and I wondered whether or not this horrific tragedy in Connecticut might represent the same in our time -- the moment where we finally decide to substitute courage for caution.
As the funerals for these precious children commence today, listen to King then:
This afternoon we gather in the quiet of this sanctuary to pay our last tribute of respect to these beautiful children of God. They entered the stage of history just a few years ago, and in the brief years that they were privileged to act on this mortal stage, they played their parts exceedingly well. Now the curtain falls; they move through the exit; the drama of their earthly life comes to a close. They are now committed back to that eternity from which they came. These children -- unoffending; innocent and beautiful -- were the victims of one of the most heinous crimes ever perpetrated against humanity. Yet they died nobly. They are the martyred heroines of a holy crusade for freedom and human dignity. So they have something to say to us in their death. Their death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly to make the American dream a reality."
The lost lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School have something to say to the entire nation, but especially to black America. We will have blood on our hands if we miss this moment to protect the lives of poor, inner-city youth who more than most are subject to random acts of violence and death. Black youth and teens accounted for 45 percent of all child and teen gun deaths in 2008 and 2009 but only make up 15 percent of the child population. The leading cause of death among black teens ages 15 to 19 in 2008 and 2009 was gun homicide.
President Obama has finally signaled that he may now be serious about getting guns off our streets. Are we ready to stop the worship and do the work that's required to help him take on the forces of obstructionism on sensible gun control measures? Are we? If the president meant what he said at the vigil Sunday night in Newtown, then it's time to be the wind at his back and take him up on his request to "make him do it." He's going to need every bit of support he can muster to take on the gun lobby. Black folks represent the president's most loyal constituency and happen to be the group that stands to gain the most by standing up to the people who don't seem to think there is any room for a civil conversation between repeal of the Second Amendment and sensible gun control laws.
It's time for every black person in America, especially black elected officials, pastors, community leaders, national leaders, radio hosts, television hosts, bloggers, tweeters, columnists -- anyone and everyone with a platform -- to do exactly what we did when Trayvon was shot and killed. Speak on it. If you ever said anything about Trayvon, you are called upon in this moment to honor his life and the lives of black youth yet unborn by pushing the president and holding him accountable on this critical life and death issue. Right now.
If we don't, we will all have blood on our hands next time.

Check out Jeremy Bilding's brand new, semi-insane blog here. The most recent entry — a 30-paragraph essay on how to fly on an airplane without being annoying — incorporates three references to Back to the Future. I love you Jeremy Bilding.
Here's an excerpt from his chat with Gay Star Interviews — the full interview is here.
Gay Star Interviews: I wanted to ask you, how did you get your start in the porn business? Being from Denver, Colorado, that's not the first place you would think of a porn star coming from.
Jeremy Bilding: Well, surprisingly there's a lot of us from there. I know Nash Lawler and others came from out there…I had a few hookups that were like, "You should be in porn." So I was like, alright, I've always wanted to. I'm having random people telling me I should do it. I started looking up stuff online and responded to a Craigslist ad for a talent scout and he put me in contact with Jake Cruise and Next Door Studios. I started filming with them and everything from there kind of exploded.
GSI: Now you have done some bareback. What are your feelings about bareback?
JB: You know, the way I feel is that doing it with Jake Cruise it's so much more controlled than any of us just going to the bar at night. And the way I feel about it is I think that everyone in their life has had natural sex without a condom or anything, whether intentional or unintentional, they've done it; and at least my going through it with Jake, which was a very controlled environment where we were tested as close to the shoot date as possible with little to no outside contact until our scene was done just to control the test and get the most accurate representation on set. I can get behind that.
…With everything picking up it was getting to the point where it was like, alright, it would better that I'm promoting this healthy, happy sexual lifestyle and start using condoms. It was right around the same time that I signed with Chi Chi that I approached Jake ans said I would rather work with condoms in a scene now, which he's fine with. I can't deny that I've never had natural sex and I have a firm belief that that anyone I've ever met can say the same thing. We've all done it at some point.
GSI: You used to worked with the Boy Scouts and ran a camp. You really have a charitable side. I think I read where you that you said that if you were not doing porn that you would still be doing that type of work.
JB: Absolutely. I'm actually pursuing a degree right now in biology to orient towards camp settings with either the Boy Scouts, YMCA or whoever. I usually work with the older kids, high school age kids. Or I would be teaching high school biology. That work I find incredibly rewarding. That's the happiest I've ever been in my life. Everything I've ever done I've enjoyed or I automatically quit, like a sales job I had. It was like, alright, I can attempt sales but I can't do it and be happy about it. But that camp kind of fell into my lap. I was in between lives, so to say, and trying to figure out everything.
I was 18 years old and had been a participant at the camp and my counselor and my Boy Scout troop wanted me to go back down and work there…So I went back down there…[and] I finally realized last summer, 2008, that the happiest that I am is not when I'm making money hand-over-fist, it's when I'm working with these kids and teaching people, removing them from their element and broadening their horizons in one way or another and watching them push themselves to do something, to learn something, to try something, enjoy what's at hand.
GSI: That's amazing. What rank did you reach in Boy Scouts?
JB: I reached Life. I was one Merritt Badge short of my Eagle…the only one I didn't get was my Personal Management Merritt Badge… semi-ironic, but that's the one.
GSI: One thing did just pop into my head. What do you see yourself doing like five years from now?
JB: You know, if I'm still doing this in five years, that's awesome and I would love it if I still had stuff coming out; but in five years if I actually get that degree and one of the camps picks me up I will have no problem walking away from the industry to pursue working with kids. Not to say that I wouldn't still be involved hear and there to promote the safety issue and gay acceptance and to be open-minded to pursue what you feel is right and not what everyone around you is telling you need to be doing or what is right. But if the camp came back and said, "You cannot be shooting any more," then fine. I'll be happy working with the kids. I love my career right now, I love shooting porn and everything, but I know down the road working with kids is where I belong.

you know, it be ironic for the boy scouts to accept him as counselor despite the gay porn past, because he hasn't admitted to being gay. And they don't allow gays to work in the Boy Scouts, Jeremy knows this and cannot come out probably.
November 25, 2009 at 12:22 am
With a gay porn past, I seriously doubt working with kids is ever an option. Unfortunately while watching Oprah of all things, Jenna Jameson said something to the effect of once you're a porn star, you'll always be a porn star. Honestly, I wish Jeremy Bilding the best of luck especially with that degree in biology. Perhaps, if he pursues a masters in it he can teach young adults at a community college at the very least. I always like these articles that totally humanizes a porn star making them well-rounded instead of the giving us cliched, sexy statements that seem more like marketing for a movie.

Debugging and unit testing Arduino (Part 1)eclipse pluginPosted by Jan Mon, April 27, 2015 00:25:54
Debugging and unit testing with Arduino
I used many discussions about debugging Arduino code, and frankly they almost always end with "print statements and the serial monitor".
Honestly I think that whatever happens the serial monitor will be the king of the debugging tools. That is so because debugging an Arduino program may seem simple at first hand but it is actually a complex tasks.
If you look at the picture below you'll see all the involved components of an Arduino "end product'". I say end product because there are no "build tools" or "debug tools".
This series of posts is only about the green part. Your code.
But if your code is only
such a small part of the whole project ..... why would you bother?
Look at the image below ….
As the image above shows: "your code", "your electronics" and "your mechanics" may be the smallest part of the project but it is also the only non debugged part. So errors are most likely in "your ***".
The better each of "your ***" parts is debugged and understood the better chance your project has to be a success.
This series ofpots wants
to show you a way to improve "your code" in ways you may not have
considered possible before. Namely debugging and unit testing.
If you want me to show you how ... please post
Posted by Jantje Tue, May 05, 2015 12:18:31
Txs for the comments.
The next part has been posted.
Posted by Henttinen Fri, May 01, 2015 19:39:25
Yes please. Unit testing capability would be awesome!
Posted by aceperry Tue, April 28, 2015 22:51:53
Yes, please share! Love your plugin btw. Also want to see it work on 1.6.3, thanks.
Posted by Miguel Sesma Mon, April 27, 2015 12:15:34
Cannot wait to see how do you unit test in Arduino...
Or at least add breakpoint and variable inspection to the IDE :)

Demur Decks 12.03.2018 by Mia Seabrook
Push and Pull – Cassyette
Having dominated the live -circuit scene since 2016, this debut release from tastemaker, Cassyette is long overdue. This talented young producer has combined a mix of 80's synth with her own powerful vocals with a refreshing gloss and finish that is so rare in young talent. It is clear to see why she is turning heads with the likes of ASOS and Misguided noticing her potential.
Darker Shade of Green – Charles
The new video for 'Darker Shade of Green' is here and we love it. Starring Charles himself, the video is all about couples in varying states and the jealousy that creeps up on you when you fall in love. The video is a highly stylised offering from Charles featuring his signature bassy vocals and brilliant choreography.
Elijah – House of EL ft. Laura Mvula & Jay Prince
In this unique first offering from House of EL, not only does the London based singer/songwriter bring his own incredible talent to the track, but 'Elijah' also features two incomprehensibly talented artists in rapper Jay Prince and Mercury Prize Winner, Laura Mvula. This song exudes brilliance with all three artists building on each other to create something spectacular.
Valentine – Diā
The official video release for the fabulous 'Valentine' is finally here and it is brilliant. As a classically trained opera singer, Diā has a remarkably trained ear therefore only producing what seems to be, perfection in her own music. The video encompasses psychedelic elements shot with a vibe that resonates with the 60's vintage soundscapes so perfectly.
Fire in Me – John Newman
He is back. After a two-year break, John Newman returns with his new single 'Fire In Me', and it's like he never left. With all the tell-tale signs of Newman's work; brassy, almost gospel production and vocals that are both upbeat and his raw throat vocals, this tune is flawless. You will simultaneously be rejoicing both at his return and the summery vibes you'll be left with, after listening to this track.
Hells Paradise – MORGAN
Here is a single we can all rejoice over, not only because it is brilliant, but also because it was released on International Women's Day. This new tune from MORGAN is very representative of who this newcomer is; powerful, experimental and spiritual. Moving away from her "relentless cycle of demons", 'Hells Paradise' is a dark, haunting and grungy step in the right direction for this artist.
Sun Again – Wide Eyed Boy
Demur Decks alumni, Wide Eyed Boy are back with their latest track 'Sun Again'. Once again this Liverpool based 4 piece have managed to produce an energetic, driving track that is quickly becoming a staple to their sound. With the lyrics sitting perfectly over the top of the heavily overdriven guitar and propulsive drums you will soon have this tune stuck in your head.
13 – Ciaran Lavery
With his album release set for the 13th April, Ciaran has released '13' as a little teaser of what is to come. Speaking on the track Ciaran said "13 deals with my own fear born from an inability to handle long-lasting love without contributing to its destruction…this song makes me feel uncomfortable. But I want to be as honest a songwriter as I can be" – what a refreshing and honest perspective for a songwriter to take; and a brilliant choice given the song's magical feel to it.
Pink Lemonade – James Bay
Breaking away from his classic sound, James Bay releases 'Pink Lemonade' ahead of his album release scheduled for May this year. With a heavier bass sound than before, we can already hear Bay pushing his own musical boundaries with great success. This track rolls effortlessly with powerful and driving momentum.
Just Beyond Home – The Pylons ft. Emily Bridgewood
With Bridgewood's vocals at the helm of this bright new track, it summons a rural, heartfelt picture of where The Pylons are headed. With rolling drums and subtle guitar riffs, this track builds effortlessly exploding into a powerful, collected chorus. This is an undeniable representation of just how valuable their year off was for them to reconnect again.

Campground Reviews is now Available through the RV LIFE App on iPhones, iPads, and Android Devices.
Click Here to learn more.
Bozeman Hot Springs Campground, Bozeman, Montana
Date of Stay:
July, 2017 -
Overall Rating:
The price, even with discounts, was way too much. There is only one set of restrooms that are not ADA compliant, hand dryer didn't work, soap dispenser was empty, and very small for a campground this large. Overall the campground was not too bad, but we have paid less and received better. The workers had an "I don't care" attitude.
Yes, the price does include entry to the hot springs, however, the fee without the campground is only $7.50, which means the price would still be well over $70. My assessment is that Bozeman Hot Springs Campground is one of the greatest rip-offs we have ever had to endure in our fifteen years of RV camping. We camped at Bozeman Hot Springs Campground in a Motorhome.
Malibu Beach RV Park, Malibu, California
Date of Stay:
April, 2012 -
Overall Rating:
We were placed in a very out of level site with small children on one side and teens on the other. When we complained about the loud music, the operators could have cared less. Their only offer was to move one site over to an even smaller site. The view is spectacular. But, the attitude displayed really detracted from the overall experience. We camped at Malibu Beach RV Park in a Motorhome.
Conestoga Campground / Smith River Valley, White Sulphur Springs, Montana
Date of Stay:
August, 2011 -
Overall Rating:
We are members of this campground. Their annual dues are only $99, and that includes two weeks of free camping! Our $3 fee was for electricity. This is one of our favorite parks. The owners are wonderful people. The town is friendly and the sunsets are gorgeous. If you want a place to wind down and just relax, this is the place. The campground is clean and quiet. The only negative I could offer is the price of the fish in the pond. I think six dollars is a little pricey. Other than that, I would give this park five stars out of five. We camped at Conestoga Campground / Smith River Valley in a Motorhome.
Cutty's Des Moines Camping Club, Inc, Grimes, Iowa
Date of Stay:
August, 2010 -
Overall Rating:
A wonderful park! We stayed one night using Passport America for $13.75 and found the staff to be very friendly and the amenities were great. They offer a repair service and since our slide-out topper was giving us a problem, I asked for someone to look at it. The maintenance man came and fixed it for me and wouldn't take payment! I would highly recommend this park to anyone. We camped at Cutty's Des Moines Camping Club, Inc in a Motorhome.

The proposed amendments would also open a window for political outfits in power to leverage granting of contracts to interested parties. Photograph:( Reuters )
Despite the Indian government's pledge to increase transparency, they are aiming to enshrine a law that will make corporate funding to political parties more difficult to track.
Currently, corporations that give money to political parties must publicly divulge who they fund. But the Finance Bill's proposed change, tabled by the Indian government February during the annual budget session, will no longer require businesses to do so.
The Finance Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on March 22 amid mass walkouts by opposition parties.
Under the proposed alterations to the Companies Act, political parties in power can more easily leverage the granting of contracts to interested parties. It will also be difficult to prove that an auction has taken place at all, making it possible for the government to award contracts without proving that any competitive process has taken place to earn the job.
The Finance Bill has been assailed by opposition parties as being the outcome of a unilateral process.
Money bill
Another controversial change in the proposed law is the "money bill". If the new legislation is enacted, the "money bill" will bypass the Upper House, also known as the Rajya Sabha, and will go directly from the Lower House, or the Lok Sabha, to the President of India.
This legislation has been particularly criticised by the opposition for strengthening the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party as its presence isn't particularly strong in the Rajya Sabha.
But the upside of the mini-sweep has been the government's decision to roll out electoral bonds. Business houses will be incentivised to make political donations through digital payments and cheques to make the process of donations more transparent.
Aadhar card
The other big change announced on March 22 is the newly increased importance of Aadhar cards, a multipurpose national identity document. On March 22 it was announced that Indian nationals will have to furnish their Aadhar details while filing tax returns after July 1, 2017.
The Aadhar card requires citizens to give the government both their biometric information, or their fingerprints, as well as a retinal scan.
When asked on March 22 if the government was making Aardhar cards mandatory--essentially asking, will Indians have to give the government their fingerprints and retinal scans, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said, "Yes, we are".

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kyle Snyder is one of five finalists for the U.S. Male Olympic Athlete of the Year award, and with one week remaining in the open voting competition, the Buckeye heavyweight owns a substantial lead with 38 percent of the votes as of Oct. 23 at 9:30 a.m. ET. A pair of fellow American Olympians (Lowell Bailey, biathlon; Caleb Dressel, swimming) are next at 17 percent apiece.
In a bout that was dubbed "The Match of the Century," Snyder defeated Olympic and two-time world champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev of Russia, 6-5, to win the 97-kilogram gold medal and clinch Team USA's first men's freestyle world team title in 22 years at the 2017 World Wrestling Championships. This coming one year after capturing Olympic gold in Rio.

"Ammachi shall I cook kanji (porridge) before I leave?" Chakki asked.
"Hmm, make some thoran(dry fried veg with coconut) as well. He (my father)likes thoran." Ammachi replied
I wanted to ask Ammachi 'why is my father late, but then we will have another discussion about fate and I didn't want to hear any more.
Evening time is different in Chengannur house. Unlike my parents home, where the house gets livelier in the evening when everyone returns, in Chengannur you feel more lonely in the evening. You feel like the tortoise, pulling the head inside and hiding.
In the evening everything has to be returned. The cows has to be brought back to the cattle shed. Hens to their coop. The rubber sheets have to be removed from the clothes line outside and hung in the kitchen window slats and Chakki goes home with Kutten.
I sat on the veranda and watched Chakki walking on the bund with Kutten. As her shadow became smaller, my heart felt heavier. I felt a sense of doom and loneliness.I was all alone in Chengannur house with Ammachi.
The air stood still and there was pin drop silence. I know it won't last long. The frogs in the paddy field and the cricekts in the ground will start their orchestra soon.
"Nina, come we have work to do." Ammachi called me
"What work, I thought we did everything, before Chakki left?"
"Not yet, kandathum kettathum will start at 8 PM"
"but your radio doesn't work!"
"Ofcourse it works"
"Then why didn't you ever use it?"
"I use it every sunday to listen to kandathum Kettathum (a small skit full of jokes)when you are not around"
"What? Why?"
"Firstly I don't want to switch on the radio all the time and waste electricity, secondly I don't want you to play it all day long and give me a headache"
"Ammachi how could you not tell me your radio was working?"
"You never asked me, if it is working, Nina!"
I was so mad at her, for not telling me all these times that her radio was working, and I was even more mad at me for assuming that it doesn't work. We had a colour television when we were in Malaysia. In Kerala, there was no television and my only consolation was the radio. I liked to listen to the cinema songs. The station plays cinema songs every afternoon at 1 pm. Because I am at school at that time I miss it except during the weekend.
Ammachi removed the stripped cloth cover and switched on her radio and it cackled. She adjusted the silver knobs and we heard the station announcer announcing
"akashavani, thiruvananthapuram,thrissur Alappuzha. Kandathum kettathum". (Radio announcement)
Ammachi was laughing listening to the jokes in the 10 minutes skit. The moment it is finished, she got up switched off the radio.
"Why are you switching off the radio?" I asked her
"My radio and I can do what I want with it"
"I am not going to talk to you anymore". I sulked
"too bad. I was going to tell you a story of a warrior".

Tragedy At Hand is a gorgeous pastel violet shimmer base with loads shimmer, green and black matte hexes, thrown around with some black and green matte squares. If you know me by know, I love anything that is a different shaped glitter. Hearts, squares, flowers, you name it, I love it!
This was my very first Pahlish polish (I LOVE their name!!) I purchased it from Llarowe with a few other gorgeous shades, and let me tell you, I am so impressed I can't wait to order more!!
Shown here I have 3 thin coats of Tragedy At Hand followed with a coat of gelous and a coat of Seche Vite.
This was a dream to work with, I am so happy that this has become a part of my overgrowing stash. This could easily be layered over another purple, maybe even a black, to use less coats. Three was perfect for opacity.
You can purchase Pahlish from Llarowe, or directly from their etsy store!
What do you think of Tragedy At Hand? Gorgeous Right?
Until Next Time!

Good to Hear the
Voices of Working People
Dear NPRI,
It was exciting to read (in last months issue) actual statements by casino workers in your article about unions in Nevada. Usually we hear what union leaders have to sayand sometimes what casino owners and managers thinkbut somehow the voices of the actual working people get skipped over.

Las Vegas, Nevada
Dear NPRI,
Candidate for governor Aaron Russo has promised that if elected hell reduce automobile registration fees to no more than $35 for each car. Your February report on the tax obligations of citizens in all 50 states makes clear how important it is that Mr. Russos promise be seriously considered by Mr. Guinn, Mr. Neal and any other candidates for governor. Taxes in Nevada are sky high and Im now paying over $150 to register a car which I used to register for less than $45 in the state where I used to live. Everything costs more in Nevada because of high taxesgasoline, furniture, even lunch at McDonalds. Should we really be taxing things like take-out food and insurance? I wish the press would tell everybody the truth about Nevadas taxes.

Cholera is one of the world's deadliest diseases, believed to have started in India and mentioned in ancient Indian texts. In 1817, a cholera pandemic erupted near Calcutta, spreading within six years to Europe, followed by four more — killing millions worldwide by the end of the 19th century.
British historian John Brooke describes its horrors:
"Cholera was something of a shock disease. Its effect was both quick and lethal and it carried with it a high percentage of fatalities. The victim could often be dead within hours. The symptoms included violent stomach pains, vomiting, diarrhoea and total prostration during which the body turned cold and blue, the eyes and cheeks sunken and the skin wizened.
"The 'blue phase' usually indicated that death was imminent. Of all these, the major symptom was the explosive diarrhoea that produced…'hugely voluminous stools' that have an appearance of yellowish water. They are often referred to as rice water stools as they contain evidence of the lining of the intestines."
No one was really sure what caused cholera until the third pandemic that lasted from 1852 to 1859, ravaging Asia, Europe, North America and Africa — killing 23,000 people in Great Britain alone in 1854 — the worst single year of cholera.
That was the year that British physician John Snow — one of the "fathers of modern epidemiology" — believed that the source of the disease in London was from contaminated water from a public well.
Prevailing belief at that time was that cholera was caused by contaminants in "bad air." They called it the "miasma theory."
The 1854 outbreak of cholera in the Soho district of London ended after Snow convinced authorities to remove the handle of the Broad Street pump that he believed was pumping contaminated water. He was right — the hand-operated pump was delivering ground water from an area near a septic pit.
One clue that the pump was the culprit was that no one working at a nearby brewery contracted cholera because they didn't drink Broad Street water. They were allotted a beer ration every day by the company.
After the cholera subsided in Soho, authorities rejected Snow's contaminated water theory and replaced the pump handle.
In 1861, Dr. Nottidge Charles MacNamara who served as Surgeon-General of the Indian Medical Service in Calcutta, Madras and Bombay who studied cholera observed:
"Cholera depends on a specific organic infecting matter passed from the bodies of those affected with the disease," he wrote, "which may be communicated to other human beings, by entering the mouth with drinking water, food, or perhaps suspended in the atmosphere."
In 1883, German microbiologist Robert Koch, founder of modern bacteriology, studied cholera in Egypt and Calcutta was able to grow the bacterium Vibrio cholerae and proved that it caused cholera if it got into the intestines.
It didn't take scientists long to figure out that cholera is a serious intestinal disease that can swiftly lead to death, and that unsanitary conditions caused it.
Those conditions were readily found in poor neighborhoods and backward countries. To this day, Africa, Asia and elsewhere are in danger of cholera breaking out at any time.
Cholera is rare in well-developed countries where modern sanitation procedures are firmly established.
Though there are hundreds of strains or "serogroups" of the cholera bacteria, there are fortunately only two strains known to cause outbreaks and epidemics.
Now the story of how cholera came to America:
The 19th century saw seven cholera pandemics, starting with the India pandemic in 1817, then moving to Russia, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Austria, England, Ireland, Canada and the United States. (There were routes to other parts of the world as well.)
In 1832, the second cholera pandemic wave spread through Hungary, Germany, Egypt, Paris and London, then jumped across the Irish sea to infect Ireland, where poverty and lack of sanitation were endemic.
From the Emerald Isle, the disease was carried to Quebec, Ontario, New York City and the reached the Pacific Coast by 1834 — helped by river steamboats and overland trail traffic.
Then in 1845, Ireland was hit again by cholera because of the Potato Famine, caused by a blight that rotted the potatoes, a primary food source — especially for the poor.
Starvation and disease quickly moved in, as government officials in London who had oversight of their Irish colony did next to nothing. Private and government-run soup kitchens couldn't save thousands from sickness and death.
More than a million Irish headed for Canada and the U.S.; usually sailing across the Atlantic under overcrowded conditions of "dreadful filth and squalor," sometimes in cargo holds without toilets, according to one Canadian history source.
Some ships promised food but didn't provide any.
"The long and frequently treacherous Atlantic crossing meant that many in steerage spent from five to 12 weeks in dark, dank, cramped, unsanitary holds which were described by one traveler as 'filthy, filled with a fetid stench and containing hundreds huddled together like animals."
The impoverished Irish were no doubt glad see land as their ship sailed into the St. Lawrence and headed for Grosse Ile — Canada's Ellis Island — only to discover the island to be a nightmare from hell.
University of Chicago researcher G.F. Pyle wrote about what happened next:
"Montreal and Quebec shared the port facilities at Grosse Ile on the St. Lawrence River in 1832, and it was from Grosse Ile the (cholera) epidemic probably entered North America. It spread rapidly down the St. Lawrence River and continued until it reached Lake Champlain in the United States. By the time the epidemic entered Albany, it had traveled both from the north and from New York to the south.
"Meanwhile, the pestilence of Canadian origin moved across Lakes Ontario and Erie to Buffalo, Erie, and Pittsburgh. The time of the year during which Detroit, Chicago, and Rock Island reported outbreaks suggests Canadian origins. However, in many instances the original point of departure may have been New York City."
Major waterways like the Ohio and the Mississippi river helped spread the disease.
One New England report told a typical cholera story:
"During December 1832, a chest of clothing that had belonged to a sailor, who had died of cholera at a Baltic port, arrived at his home in a small village near Bangor, Me. The chest was opened, the clothing was distributed to his friends, and all who received the garments were taken with cholera and died."
In the American West, smallpox was by far the deadliest "white man disease," but cholera was among the others that killed both whites and Native Americans.
The Indians had no immunity against white man diseases that included bubonic plague, chickenpox, cholera, the common cold, diphtheria, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, sexually transmitted diseases, typhoid, typhus, tuberculosis and whooping cough.
Traveling along river routes and overland trails invariably meant living in unsanitary conditions, creating breeding grounds for cholera.
Osteopathic surgeon Andrew Taylor Still wrote in his autobiography in 1897, "The sudden, explosive nature of cholera epidemics horrified white physicians and native healers alike in their respective attempts to combat the disease.
"Filthy hygienic habits by migrants included eating spoiled meat and drinking and bathing in waste water. Cholera hit the Indians too. One report said the 'Nomadic Indian tribes suffered the same conditions; as many as one-half of the nomadic Pawnees and two-thirds of the Southern Cheyennes died of cholera between 1849 and 1852.'"
Comanches didn't have the strength to bury their dead, and Arapahos tell of people committing suicide rather than face the dreaded sickness.
Indians in the Northwest, however, were ravaged more by smallpox and measles than cholera and other diseases.
In 1847, when frontier missionary Marcus Whitman couldn't cure Indians who had contracted measles, a band of renegade Cayuse and Umatilla Indians murdered him, his wife, Narcissa, and 11 others at their Waiilatpu Mission in Oregon Territory, before kidnapping an additional 53.
By 1923, cholera was generally contained except in India, Russia, the Middle East and northern Africa because of their undeveloped sanitation policies. In India a million died of cholera in 1918 and 1919.
Today, cholera is still prevalent in much of sub-Sahara Africa, southern Asia — where it started — Southeast Asia, Philippines, parts of Indonesia and New Guinea, Central America, Cuba and Haiti.
Despite the cholera, we have much to thank the Irish for.

Posthumous recognition…
Dr. John Snow didn't live long enough to see the importance of his work appreciated — dying at age 45. But today he is recognized as the founder of epidemiology and statistical analysis. Though he accurately blamed the cholera epidemic of 1854 in the Soho district of London on contaminated water, it nevertheless probably didn't save many lives when authorities removed the handle of the Broad Street pump so people couldn't use it. By that time, the epidemic had already pretty much ended.
Cholera's silver lining…
According to American University of Paris historian Oleg Kobtzeff, cholera became an important factor in urban planning. "The idea of wider streets and sidewalks came as a result of cholera, as well as having a proper sewage system." Paris had an underground sewage system by the beginning of the 19th century.
Where is cholera found?
The cholera bacterium is usually found in water or food sources that have been contaminated by feces (poop) from a person infected with cholera. Cholera is most likely to be found and spread in places with inadequate water treatment, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene.
"The cholera bacterium may also live in the environment in brackish rivers and coastal waters. Shellfish eaten raw have been a source of cholera, and a few persons in the U.S. have contracted cholera after eating raw or undercooked shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico."
— Center for Disease Control
Treating cholera the Indian way…
An Encylopedia.com report says, "The Indian's treatment for cholera was not much more ridiculous than are some of the treatments of some of the so-called doctors of medicine. They dug two holes in the ground, about twenty inches apart.
"The patient lay stretched over the two, — vomit in one hole and purge in the other, and died stretched over the two, thus prepared, with a blanket thrown over him. Here I witnessed cramps which go with cholera dislocate hips and turn legs out from the body. I sometimes had to force the hips back to get the corpse in the coffin."

Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) improves the health of British Columbians by seeking province-wide solutions to specialized health care needs in collaboration with BC health authorities and other partners.
Accreditation is an effective, internationally recognized and respected evaluation process used by many countries worldwide to assess the qualities of health services.
This award level is achieved by approximately 30 per cent of health care organizations surveyed across the country.
Using national standards for quality, safety and best practices in oncologic care, surveyors from Accreditation Canada assessed five of BC Cancer's six centres during their visit from June 9 to 13, 2013:
NOTE: The new BC Cancer – Prince George (Centre for the North) was excluded from the formal component of the accreditation survey since it had been open less than one year.
The 2013 accreditation decision for BC Cancer is based on BC Cancer's performance against standards that fall into three main categories: system-wide, population specific and service excellence.
BC Cancer joins other Provincial Health Services Authority agencies – BC Children's, BC Women's and BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services (BCMHSUS) in 2012, along with the BC Centre for Disease Control and BCMHSUS' Forensic Psychiatric Services in 2011 – in receiving the highest quality standing in Canada.

We would like to thank you for visiting T.A.N. in search of "Affluence Network Ecommerce" online.
You've probably heard this many times where you usually spread the good word about crypto. It's not risky? What happens when the value accidents? So far, several POS devices presents free transformation of fiat, alleviating some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people will soon be resistant to hold any. We must find a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to cease operation.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the process operates in and of itself, but it is essentially crucial that you understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can just choose to print endless numbers (I am not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms offering long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately connects in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the appropriate spot at the right time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these companies determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to discover how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it mended. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Lots of people prefer to use a currency deflation, especially those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal privacy, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living pay check to pay check, it would happen included in your wealth, with the rest earmarked for other currencies.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers contend that there is real value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some form of reward so that you can ensure the shortage. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which will be among the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It's also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's nothing more than a representation of value, but there isn't any real palpable sort of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the method by which it is transacted. All purchases over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This isn't anything temporary wherever your visitors can challenge or need a concessions, or employ dishonest sleight of hand. Used, many traders will be a good idea to work with a fee processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto currency transactions, you have to make certain that security is tough. With any type of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your individual keys and therefore steal your money. Sadly, you almost certainly will never obtain it back. It is very important for you yourself to embrace some great safe and sound methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will guard you from most of these bad functions.
In case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could possibly be dealt as a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that form of digital money isn't manipulated by a key bank system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are a minimal number of goods, this coinis worth is based on market forces, letting owners to trade over cryptocurrency deals.

Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation isn't to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there exists no need for big sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The merest events on the planet economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also get involved in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that a transaction happened. This can be potentially used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more immune to wild inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy risks. Security and privacy can readily be achieved by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and validate these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they can earn transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Since among the earliest forms of making money is in money lending, it is a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites currently focus on Bitcoin, several of those sites you're needed fill in a captcha after a particular time period and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to produce an acceptable investment strategy.

It's certainly possible, but it must be able to understand opportunities irrespective of market behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be fine.
It should be hard to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having modest increases is more profitable than attempting to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that haven't made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making huge ammonts of cash with various forms of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an amazing intellectual and technical achievement, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and lose out on very lucrative business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology.
