On Doctor Who, a long time ago, Queen Thalira who said, "It would be different if I was a man.But I'm only a girl." To which Sarah Jane Smith beautifully replied, "Now just a minute. There's nothing 'only' about being a girl, Your Majesty."
This is it. The big question.
When did you first realize you changed from a girl to a woman? Like the moment you realized.
Maria: Wow, really sitting down to think about this, a moment comes to mind that I would have skipped over had I not really thought about this. The moment I first realized I changed from girl to woman was when I said "no", for the first time, to a man who was physically and verbally abusive to me…the man that was supposed to be a father figure to me. I said no to going over to his house any more, to allowing his abuse any more in my life. It was the first time I stopped feeling like a girl and more like a woman.
Kristen G.: That is a super good question and I would say my very first day of college. I told my roommate where I was going and when I'd be back and she said "I don't care – I'm not your mother – do your own thing" and I couldn't believe I was on my own – – – and not to be cliche, but there is nothing like holding your baby in your arms and thinking "holy crap"
Emily Y.: Hm. I don't know. I mean, I feel like I want to say when I started menstruating. That's the most physiologically correct answer. But I started menstruating at 13. In some cultures, a 13 year old female may feel like an adult, but I think that's more the exception than the rule in America. I honestly don't think I felt like a woman until much later, potentially even recently. And what is a girl and what is a woman? Is there a distinct difference? I don't really think so. It's a gradual developmental change, right? I mean, in baby development in utero, there is never a moment between when you don't have arms and then you do. You grow arm buds that slowly and gradually grow into fully functional arms. Maybe that's a weird example, but I think the same concept applies here. I don't think there was a moment for me. Sometimes I'm not even sure that I feel more like a woman than a girl. Adulthood is a loose construct for me. Although I am an adult, I'm still not sure what that means yet.
I did not answer your question…but I'm not really sure how to.
Also, if you aren't thinking about "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" by Britney Spears right now, I'm not sure what's wrong with you.
Kristen K.: I think around age 7 I realized I should start taking care of my little brother and sister.
Hayley: There are few moments. When I was 6, and my mom and dad explained that my sister wasn't going to make it. That my baby sister wasn't going to be a part of our lives. That's the first time I remember really coming to terms with mortality, and actual disappointment.
When I was 22, and I not only didn't get a say in what happened to my life and body. But the eventual step when I realized, I needed to start recognizing myself as a powerful entity, because not everyone else will.
And just the other day. This is the day that I realized I was an adult. There were these two boys on my block throwing a kickball at my porch cat Bill Purray. I drove by the house and parked in front of mine. Left my thawing groceries in the 90 degree car and marched down the street. Before I even reached them I said, in the most even tone, "Don't throw the ball at the cat." Not "Hey, don't throw that ball at that cat." No introduction. Just "stop." And the older of the boy now red in the face, said, "We weren't." It came right out of my mouth, and I still can't believe it. I said, "I saw you do it. Don't lie to me." They turned and instantly ran into their house as I snatched up Bill Purray without missing a beat and walked right back to my house and sat on the porch with her. Eventually, one of the boys came back on his porch and sat in a chair. Pouting. I turned my chair and faced his porch and glared. I still don't feel bad. That's a future serial killer.
Harmony: It took me a long time to answer this. It took so long because I am not proud of the story I'm about to share.
I grew up in a safe, loving environment with parents who are truly in love each other. This environment was ideal in so many ways, and even as a young teen, I knew how good I had it. So when the dating scene became a part of my life, I didn't take it very seriously. There wasn't anything out there that could even come close to comparing to what my parents had. Dudes were disposable.
Then one day, I realized my heart had changed. I was 20 years old and had been 'seeing' (because 'dating' was too committed) a guy for almost a year. We were not dating, but we spent a lot of time together; ate meals together, visited with his family together, went to concerts, watched movies, got stoned and shared a healthy physical relationship. But we weren't dating.
My phone rang around 7.00am one morning when I wasn't dating this guy, and a very sad female voice spoke quietly to me from the other end of the line. I didn't recognize the voice, I just remember being so startled at how sad she was; she was sobbing. She had said something about someone, and an accident, and how sorry she was. I was trying to put all the syllables together and still identify the caller…
It was my friend.
My friend that was dating my non-boyfriend's brother.
On no, something happened to my non-boyfriend's brother.
But she was apologizing to me – why is she sorry?
The car? Last night. Too much to drink.
Kevin. Kevin is dead. The Kevin that was not mine, but he was.
My non-boyfriend died.
I felt the heat in my face. I felt nothing but rage. RAGE. I told her how dare she call me and dump this load of crap on me. I refused to believe my non-boyfriend friend guy had died. DIED? No. Come on, now. So I hung up on her. Actually, I accused her of lying first, then I hung up on her.
15 minutes later doorbell rang. It's now 7.15 in the morning and I'm all, "Oh now this has gone too far." I opened the door, already pissed off, but there she was. Her normally pretty face, pale and swollen. Her eyes, pitted and bloodshot. Makeup, long gone. She hadn't slept all night. Her hands were shaking and she said one word to me that I will never, never forget: She pleaded, in a whisper, "Please."
And then I lost me.
Whoever I thought I was.
Whoever I thought he was.
Whatever I thought he meant to me.
Whatever I convinced myself I needed.
It was lost.
It was the day I learned what life really is.
That it isn't a farce. It isn't fake or showy or shallow.
In one moment I realized all that I kept from myself in treating him like he didn't matter.
I realized what I'd kept from him.
Life as I knew it, had effectively gone from 2D to 3D. I felt everything all at once: the laughter he brought to my life. The joy. His old soul; his immense intelligence. The way his hands played the piano; held his brandy glass. How he looked past my distance and into my essence. The way he still held me, long after he'd fallen asleep, as though I were a treasure he protected even in his off hours.
I saw myself through his eyes for the first time. I saw myself as a woman. A woman he loved. A woman he adored. A woman who had willingly kept myself from feeling all these things he felt or me. And then he died. I had run out of time. My lesson came too late.
In the months afterward, I didn't know what else to do, but march on. After a long time I started dating again, but it was different than before. I dated to get to know them, but I also dated to learn more about myself. It all came full circle when I met my husband, Sam.
Sam's gentle soul and desire to love me is what opened my heart even further. I wanted to love him and I wanted him to know I loved him. I opened my life to him and he treated it with respect and patience. I appreciated all things about him and in doing so I began to appreciate all things about me.
So, back to the question: when was my moment when I switched from a girl to a woman? Well, like any complicated algebraic equation, there was a roundabout way to coming up with the final answer:
Part one was losing all I didn't know I had.
Part two was giving it all had and losing myself to it.
Ashley L.: I think I'm still waiting to feel like a woman. I often feel like I'm still a scared little girl trying to put on a brave, "fake it 'til you make it" face.
Courtney: The moment I realized I was a woman… I think I realized something was different when I noticed men were looking at me. I remember two specific times were I was just doing normal activities (shopping, eating), and a grown men were either staring at me, or physically came over to hit on me (which, I didn't realize what that was then, only that it make me uncomfortable). I remember being probably around 12 years old and confused as to why these people are looking at ME and knowing that I felt not OK with it. And shortly later I noticed more of my body changing. But I don't think I ever felt anything INSIDE that was different, but realized something was different because of my OUTER circumstances.
Allison: I don't recall having an "ah ha" moment about changing from a girl to a woman. Is that a thing?! Maybe it is for some, but I have been wracking my brain trying to remember if I had one. It definitely wasn't when I got my first period and it definitely wasn't the first time I had sex! Neither were very pleasant experiences and did not make me feel very womanly. Perhaps it was more of a series of moments and events that made up my transition from a girl to a woman. I suppose for me, the broader experience of trying to get pregnant, getting pregnant, and having miscarriages are the most womanly experiences I have ever had. You ain't a child anymore when you have gone through that. Sometimes I look at women who have children and I still see myself as a girl. Certainly that isn't true, but our culture tells us that part of being a woman is being a mother. Well of course I know that being a mother is not what makes a woman and being a woman is not what makes a mother. But sometimes it stings, you know? If I truly think deeply about this, my journey to becoming a woman has the thought of motherhood in it, but it is not what defines me. To me, being a woman is living through the tough moments and milestones and the happy and joyful times, to come to an understanding what it means to be a female in our society, and then embracing and spreading that power. It is important to me to try embody the positive and empowering aspects of what it means to me to be a thoughtful woman and a feminist for the sake of the young men and women I come into contact with.
Danee: I don't think I've had that moment of realization yet. I mean, I know by all societal standards, I am a woman. However, there are many ways in which I still feel like a girl. When I'm with my mom, for instance, or my sister, it's easy to slip into a more child-like version of myself. Old friends can have this same affect, and my partner, Brown, probably sees this side of me more than anyone. Of course, there are many other situations where I feel old as hell. When I'm teaching college students… yeah, those moments definitely make me feel like an old lady. Does that count?
Amber S.: I'm not sure I always feel like a woman versus a girl at this point in my life. It's so easy to feel lost and weak. I'm not sure if I ever feel like a woman without someone else being involved.
Rebekah: The moment I realized I had become a woman was just a little over a year ago. I was in a production of "the Music Man" and a friend took a backstage photo of me in the "Grecian urn" costume. When I saw the photo, my instant thought was "I look like a woman." (my mom had the same thought, and expressed it on Facebook.) It was a bittersweet thought. At 29, it seems I ought to have become a woman years ago, but I was sad that the spritely youthfulness of my face had diminished. It made sense. I'd done a lot of growing up that year, and it showed in my complexion and my eyes. It also felt true in my soul. I had faced what seemed unbearable, and I was okay. I was going to be okay.
Emily L.: Another cliche answer, but it would have to be when I first became a mother. Up until that point I was being taken care of and had no real need to truly think of anyone else, but when I became a mom I was completely responsible for someone else and not to mention what my body was able to do by carrying and delivering a child made me realize a whole new side of womanhood.
Alex: I'm not sure I can define the difference from child to adult. I feel there were different stages in my life that matured me into my own autonomous self but I am not sure this makes one an adult. I am over the age or reason and hold responsibility for my own actions in God's eyes, but again, not sure this means adult. I am over the legal age and deemed an adult when it comes to our governments laws but again does the single second between 11:59:59 the day before my 18th birthday to 12:00:00 really change me that much? I guess the closest thing I have to an answer is telling my parents I was moving to Indiana for school despite the cost. And despite feeling like an adult at that moment, telling my parents 2 years later that I was leaving this same school with all kinds of debt and no degree because I wanted to live authentically. It made me realize how much of a child I still was in ways I wasn't sure would ever change. I feel like any time I do something new for the first time, no matter how prepared or confident I am, I still feel a little childlike.
Laura: Here's the thing: I don't like the word "woman." It's a soft, round word that has connotations of periods and menopause and chunky robes and fuzzy slippers and cold coffee. Now don't get me wrong, I like chunky robes and fuzzy slippers as much as anybody, but to me the word has connotations of giving up. I don't even know why those connotations exist. They have no basis- my mom is a go-getter who never gives up. I can't think of a single woman who speaks into my life who is this tired picture I see in my head. But I still don't like the word.
So I don't see myself as a woman. Instead, a grown-up girl. A lady, maybe. A chick, even? All words with hard consonants and bright vowels. The moment I felt most like a woman is when I was pregnant- a literal "womb-man." There was no getting around it. I was grown, about to give life, carrying a baby in my belly. And I hated being pregnant. I was slow and hot and tired all the time. I lost creative energy and wasn't allowed to lift heavy things. I didn't look like myself and people treated me differently. So I guess, in my own thoughts, I prefer to distance myself from my baby-making capabilities and don't really think of myself as a "woman."
Dana: It's funny, really; it has been a sneak-attack in three parts. The first, when I was bold enough to speak my mind with my mother about views she did not share. I realized that I was my own person. I had my own thoughts and feelings that were no longer dictated by her. I felt freedom…and fear. I felt my growing up that day. (Thankfully, my mother has done well with that transition. As well as expected anyway) The second, when I was speaking at a conference, promoting the empowerment of women and purity. It was something I would have never seen myself doing, but I felt an ease and comfort and passion that has only grown since then. And third, I was bold enough to wear HOT red lipstick and sassy heels for a formal banquet once. And I carried on with myself as normal, but people (specifically men), stopped to say how beautiful I looked. But not in that "she's so sweet and cute and 10" kind of voice, but "WOW. You're you in all your youness" voice. You know the one.
Ashlee: Do people really have moments? I don't even know if I would consider myself a "woman." I don't feel old enough for that. I still drink on weeknights. I suppose during my sophomore year of college I started doing things more independently. I learned about cleaning my own bathroom and buying groceries to make meals. I took ownership of my education. I think that's what I started developing my own thoughts and feelings towards important issues. That made me feel more like an adult woman.
Jessica: I think the girl to a woman moment for me was likely when I finally understood that I could not be first. In my marriage, in my teaching job, in my life, I needed to put others before myself. When I was able to let that bit of selfishness go I was able to mature and see a greater picture of the world that didn't center around me and my problems.
Amber F.: Hmm, I don't know. My gut says when I got married, but I'd say it was more recently- after getting divorced, I had to learn all sorts of things about being an adult. I think I feel like an adult for the first time in my life right now.
Brett: I feel like I'm still waiting for that moment. I think it will come, but it may not be until I'm 75, and I'm cool with that.
Allie: I honestly cannot pinpoint a moment like that. If I have to narrow it down at all, I'll say that I only started thinking of myself and referring to myself as a woman when I learned that calling adult females "girls" is condescending. This realization came about three or four years ago, but I still struggle to think of myself as a woman the way I think of other women as women. It's often easier to see other women for who they are instead of what they do or accomplish, and I am learning to extend myself the same grace rather than focusing on the ways I fall short of my own or other people's expectations.
"I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't." Audre Lorde

CF129 - King Cake and Mardi Gras in New Orleans
We're in the middle of Carnival season down here in New Orleans. Only one more week before the parades start to roll! Can't wait! You may have never been to Mardi Gras. You may not even have pleasant thoughts when you think of Mardi Gras… Maybe the only thing you know about Mardi Gras is what you have seen on MTV and the news channels. For those folks bad news is good news, so they like to portray the seedier side of things. But that's not what Mardi Gras is all about. Believe it or not, Mardi Gras is Catholic through and through. And on today's show, were going to talk about the Catholic roots of Mardi Gras and the delicious tradition of the King Cake. Sarah Reinhard joins us with her Mary in the kitchen segment, and today Sarah reflects on finding Mary in the hunker-down days of winter and discovering the kitchen as the heart of her home. All this and more right here, at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!

Review: Ashen Winter by Mike Mullin
It's been over six months since the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Alex and Darla have been staying with Alex's relatives, trying to cope with the new reality of the primitive world so vividly portrayed in Ashfall, the first book in this series. It's also been six months of waiting for Alex's parents to return from Iowa. Alex and Darla decide they can wait no longer and must retrace their journey into Iowa to find and bring back Alex's parents to the tenuous safety of Illinois. But the landscape they cross is even more perilous than before, with life-and-death battles for food and power between the remaining communities. When the unthinkable happens, Alex must find new reserves of strength and determination to survive.
Publication Date: October 14, 2012
Genre: Young Adult, Post Apocalyptic, Adventure
Source: Thanks so much to Tanglewood Press for making this title available through Netgalley!
First off, what do you think of that cover? Amazing, yes? I like it even more after finishing this book. I almost had a heart attack when I saw this on Netgalley because I loved the first one so much. The awesome male POV and the way that I really felt the cold and the hunger right along with Alex and Darla carried into this second novel as well.
In Ashfall Alex is finding his way in the new world after the eruption. He's still figuring things out. In Ashen Winter they've been living this hard life a bit longer and you can really notice the changes in Alex from one book to the next.
As would be expected after an apocalyptic event there are groups struggling against each other for survival. Trusting somebody means putting your life in their hands and most of the people Alex runs into aren't the type that you want putting their hands on you. Most groups and communites of survivors aren't friendly to outsiders, but other gangs of people are just plain criminal, preying off of anybody weaker. And you better not trust in the Government either because they sure as heck don't have your best interest at heart in this case.
It's these human interactions that cause most of the problems for Alex and Darla as they look for Alex's parents. Hunger, cold, fatigue. All a factor, but those play second string to the crazy-ass people dominating the world. I would probably end up buried under a pile of snow and dead within days of something like this happening :) Luckily the characters in this book aren't such horrible wimps!
I felt like Alex was really just taking hit after hit in Ashen Winter. Talk about some bad freaking luck. I think it really proved his character and what he's willing to go through for the people he loves.
A ton of great action and tension throughout this one. I love being immersed in this world and was sad to reach the end. The mark of a great book!

text: living things. Try to become knowledgeable about the kinds of living things you come across by referring to your field guide to help you with identification and with the habits and needs of each of these liv- ing things. Remember, while the name of a living thing can help you find more information and talk with others about what you've seen, knowing what it looks like, what it needs, what is its habitat, and what it does are more important than its name. Careful observation is not always easy or natural for adults. Sketch- ing will force you to look more closely. Choose a living thing and sketch it. Have you learned anything new about the living thing by observing and drawing it? As you look closely, what do you notice about the basic characteristicsof these living things (color, size, body structure)? Use your hand lens. What else can you see? Sketch again. Do you see any relationship between the living things' structures and where they are located or how they behave? Step back from your close observation of one living thing and look at its surroundings. In order to survive, grow, develop, and reproduce, living things must meet their basic needs. Animals need food, water, and oxygen. They need space in which to live, and many of the ani- mals we come across need light. Plants, too, need food but can make it themselves using the energy from light, water, and carbon dioxide. They also need oxygen and space in which to grow. As you study the surroundings, can you tell how your living thing or others meet their needs? Where do they find all they need to stay alive? All living things live in a particular environment and each has its own habitat. The habitatis the part of the total environment that a living thing uses to meet all its basic needs. The habitat of a squirrel may include a number of trees in a park, the ground beneath them, and the little pond nearby. The habitat of a worm in that same park may be a very small patch of earth. The pigeons in the trees may have a habitat that includes the nearby baseball stadium where they find food after ball games. People's habitats have become enormous since we no longer grow our own food but buy it in stores that import from around the world, and we get our water from reservoirs miles away. As a result, a living thing's habitat may be barely adequate. Another question you can ask yourself as you look at living things is whether they depend on one another in any way. Did you see squirrels in trees? Did you see worms in the soil? Were bees carrying pollen from one flower to another? Critical to understanding the liv- ing world is the exploration of the interdependenceof living things— most are dependent on others. Squirrels in the park gather nuts and seeds to eat, often hiding them in holes in the ground. The forgotten ones are planted and grow into trees. Worms make their way through the soil, making it lighter and richer so that plants can grow and other organisms can burrow easily. Human beings depend on a range of plants and animals for food and, in earlier times, were dependent on animals and plants for clothing and shelter. All living things need the oxygen emitted by plants and those same plants need the carbon dioxide exhaled from animals. Can you find more than one example of a living thing? How many different kinds of living things can you find? There is tremendous 14 Discovering Nature with Young Children Teacher note: Wednesday I went out again to see if I could find any animals. I couldn't really find anything and was about to give up but then looked under a log. There were lots of things under there! I found worms, ants, and round bugs that I thought might be pill bugs. When I looked them up in my field guide I found that they WEREpill bugs—also known as wood lice—and they actually breathe by gills, which is why they can be found in moist places. Teacher note: Thursday I brought a hand lens out with me today so I could observe more closely. This is what I saw: It looked like some sort of beetle. I could see that it had six legs— three on each side. According to my field guide, this means that it is an insect! Young children are likely to think that an animal's needs and behaviors are similar to their own, believing that snails are looking for their parents or that worms love ice cream. Observing the natural world up close and caring for living things help children broaden and deepen their understanding of the differences and similarities in the needs of different living things and how they are met.

Less than 72 hours before the start of the NFL Draft, some thoughts:
-Jimmy Shapiro sent me some info early today on some of the NFL Draft prop bets that Bovada is offering, and what jumped out at me right away was Eric Fisher being a 1/2 favorite to go to Jacksonville at #2 overall (now down to even money as of this writing). Close behind was Oakland with Sharrif Floyd at -1000 versus field at +550, which is now off the board. I strongly suspect that the betting public jumped on the +550 number, though I also wonder if somebody knew something with that line tempting people so hard to bet on the field.
Betting on the NFL Draft is great fun, so naturally it's illegal in the United States outside of the few places where you can legally bet on sports in this country. Land of the free is just a lyric in a song, not a statement of fact. But however you might personally feel about gambling, ultimately the Vegas/offshore lines are a great source of accurate information about how a given event is expected to turn out, and that's as true for the NFL Draft as anything.
Part of me is wondering if Jaguars GM David Caldwell is a modern-day Kaiser Soze and I'm like Agent Kujan dropping his coffee mug at the end of The Usual Suspects as the bits of information that had been right in front of him the whole time began to hit one after another. If it turns out that the two guys that Caldwell was sold on were Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher, both offensive tackles (which would make sense) and I never gave that the due consideration it deserved before now... well, then, I'll tip my cap to the Jaguars organization.
-This has easily been the most challenging mock draft process that I've been through since I started doing them, going back to the first the one I did for the 2003 NFL Draft on LouPickney.com that generated such a ridiculous volume of traffic that I was inspired to create this website in the summer of that year.
Just as I have for the past several years, I will be participating in the Huddle Report NFL mock draft competition this year. Last year I finished in the top ten, though with the aforementioned difficulty in this year's group and with trades likely to impact things near the top after the deadline, there will be some elements of luck involved. I haven't involved projected trades on here (even in alternates) in years and I'm not about to jump on that train, since that is the mock draft equivalent of a Rubik's Cube since you have to hit on a double spin: the trade *and* the selection(s). No thanks.
Sadly I won't be able to attend the draft in person this year, though as I noted last year, it's really more of a made-for-TV event than anything. By chance, this Thursday is when the May 2013 TV sweeps period begins, and even if I had time available to take off (and I don't), the bosses don't let you take vacation time during sweeps. It will be interesting to see what does and doesn't leak out early as far as picks go, which has become a horribly annoying trend in recent years. Supposedly the deal to keep tipped picks off ESPN and the NFL Network will also apply to reporters and Twitter, but good luck with that, since news will leak out on Twitter no matter what. It always does.
-The vast majority of opinions that I've read on the Jets/Buccaneers trade for CB Darrelle Revis give the nod to the Bucs. In 2009 I had an exchange with Trey Wingo on Twitter where he asserted that Revis was the best corner in the NFL... and he was right. Revis remained right at the top until last season when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. Can he recover? Odds are that he can given the incredible advancements that have been made in the past ~20 years in ACL surgery. He'll turn 28 this summer, and while he's slated to make $16 million a year with the new deal he signed with Tampa Bay, none of it is guaranteed.
Tampa Bay gave up the #13 pick in this year's draft and a conditional 2014 pick that will be either a third-or-fourth rounder. But there was certainly no prospect in this year's draft with the ability to come in and make an immediate impact like Revis will, and with the Bucs in desperate need of a top-notch cornerback, Revis certainly will fill a huge need for them. Plus, if for some reason Revis isn't able to regain his old form, it's not like they'll be stuck with a cap-killer contract.
As for the Jets? The thought at this point is that they'll quite possibly go with WVU WR Tavon Austin and a 3-4 OLB at #9 and #13, though some think they would be inclined to go with LSU DE/OLB Barkevious "Kiki" Mingo if he's on the board at #9 and roll the dice on Austin falling to #13. I tend to think it would be the other way around -- there is only one Austin, but there are multiple capable 3-4 OLB prospects, plus there is always the possibility of trading back if the OLB prospects they want are off the board.
Whatever the case, we'll find out how this will all play out very soon.

Listed Investment Companies are similar to managed funds but differ in important ways that allow for long term investment, low fees and fully franked dividends.
AFIC, along with other listed investment companies, has what is termed 'a closed end' structure. This means the number of shares on issue is fixed and set by the Board from time to time.
As a result, AFIC does not issue new shares or cancel them as investors enter and leave the investment fund. This allows us to concentrate on the performance of the portfolio invested over the longer term without having to provide for continuous inflows or outflows of monies.
The "closed end" structure also removes the motivation to shadow indices and we can therefore take a much longer term approach to our investment horizon. The costs of administering the fund are also reduced as we are not continually issuing and redeeming units in the fund.
This structure also provides AFIC with the ability to pay franked dividends out of after tax realised profits and interest and franked dividends received on its underlying investments.

- —An entry on Godelot's notebook regarding the Elder Wand[src]
Godelot was a medieval dark wizard who once owned the Elder Wand.[2] Described as an "unpleasant character", Godelot considered the Elder Wand to be an instructor, and used his knowledge of the wand's powers to write Magick Moste Evile, a book that contained information on dark magic. Godelot perished in his own cellar, after he was locked in by his son, Hereward, who did this to gain ownership of the Elder Wand.[3]

Nowadays it seems that just about everything can be connected to a computer's USB port. We've all witnessed those crucial office accessories including USB Missile Launchers and mug warmers, but it's not just computers that take advantage from USB connectivity - a great deal of TVs, Hi-Fi and promotional music equipment feature USB support. Likewise, many new cars now contain USB connections for playing MP3 files from flash drives, or for connecting an iPod or other digital audio player. Even some motorcycles currently feature onboard USB ports for data analysis and engine remapping.
Nevertheless, for less exotic computer applications, there are a great amount of USB converter and adapter cables which enable various devices to be plugged into a USB port. A great example of one of these is a USB to Serial cable. Most modern personal computers are no longer shipped with 9 or 25 way serial ports. While this may not be a serious issue for most office and home users, it can be a problem for user who want to connect to older EPOS, laboratory and process control equipment, in particular as these kind of devices are often not easy (or cheap) to update or replace. A USB
to serial converter cable is a simple, low cost solution for this kind of application.
Likewise, if you've acquired a faithful old printer or plotter in your office, USB to Parallel converters are provided to enable you to remain in application when your computers are updated.
It's not just older devices which can be connected utilizing USB converter cables though. It's also possible to connect more modern 'non USB' equipment. For instance, monitors and projectors can be connected to USB ports. There are many USB to VGA and USB to DVI cables on the market today. These are an extremely helpful solution for laptop users who need to connect to multiple monitors.
For audio and recording applications, USB audio cables are also offered. These cables enable users to connect to a tool or microphone to a computer for home recording.
These are just a few instances of the a lot of USB converters and adapters that are available. As you can see, there's much more to the simple USB cable than just a lead to plug into your printer. No matter how unusual your device is, if you look hard enough, there's probably a USB converter cable that will connect to it.

What Is Affluence Network Mobile
Thank you so much for coming to our website in search for "What Is Affluence Network Mobile" online.
Many people choose to use a money deflation, notably those who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial seclusion, for example, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it would happen as part of your riches, with the rest reserved for other currencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is now the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Governments, 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 businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the appropriate place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes 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 problems? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position 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 is not governed by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of 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 a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may lead to company being unable to continue to operate or to stop operation.

Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and confirm these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to make transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they take part in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of people consent 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 trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all present bitcoins. This scenario is just not to suggest that markets are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no need for large amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The merest occasions in the world economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be achieved by just being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers contend that there is "real" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that's worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some form of wages to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit 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 can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It really is also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.
In case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could possibly be traded being a commodity. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say this sort of virtual cash isn't governed by a central bank system and it is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a limited variety of items, this cashis worth is based on market forces, permitting homeowners to industry over cryptocurrency deals.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of value, but there's no real tangible 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 imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, according to the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a stable flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward.

Brother MFC-9970CDW Driver Download
Brother MFC-9970CDW Driver Download– The Brother MFC-9970CDW color laser multifunction printer deals with the complete shopping list of small-office and workgroup print/copy/scan/ fax requirements, surpassing every rival in its cost variety ($700 since July 18, 2011) and using inexpensive toner to boot. The only thing incorrect with this image is, well, the photo: Its image quality is middling, and its color scans can be excessively dark. Comprehensive paper-installation guidelines make setup simple; the consisted of CD strolls you through the procedure with enough hand-holding. You can discover the paperwork in PDF type on the CD, although Brother motivates you to take a look at the most recent variation online. In addition to USB and ethernet connections, the MFC-9970CDW has Wi-Fi, still a rarity amongst color laser MFPs. The legal-size scanner is a high-end discuss a maker that's currently well geared up. An optional 500-sheet input tray costs $250 from Brother, however I discovered lower rates online. The MFC-9970CDW prints and scans in duplex (two-sided), the latter by means of the 35-sheet automated file feeder. The inclined front control board sports plainly identified and arranged buttons, with a 5-inch color LCD that makes browsing menus really instinctive. The MFP likewise has a front USB port. In our speed tests, printing mainly plain text with a couple of basic grayscale graphics, the maker published an outstanding rate of 15.7 pages per minute on the PC and a somewhat much better outcome on the Mac (15.8 ppm). One of our hardest tests, a high-resolution, full-size color image printed on the Mac, left at a speedy rate of 1.3 ppm. The Oki MC561 is even quicker, however the MFC-9970CDW bests it in other aspects. Color images revealed yellow-colored and blotchy or often rough qualities. Color scans dissatisfied us the most, looking really dark. The MFC-9970CDW's standard-size black cartridge expenses $63 and lasts 2500 pages, or 2.5 cents per page. Each 1500-page color expenses $70, or 4.7 cents per page. The high-yield materials are even much better, working out to 1.9 cents per page for black (the $117 cartridge lasts 6000 pages) and 3.6 cents per color, per page (each $125 cartridge lasts 3500 pages). Since it strikes specific sweet areas– speed, functions, and expense per page, Brother's MFC-9970CDW stands out from other designs in its rate variety. It might stand to enhance in photo quality and particularly scan quality, it may provide adequate bells and whistles for lots of little workplaces to neglect the imperfections.
