"For all of my friends who work in schools or in other capacities with children, Michael Arterberry of Youth Voices Center Inc. conducts the most powerful workshops for teens. They open up and share things that you would have never imagined they would disclose in two short days. They work on identifying things about themselves that they want to change, they learn conflict resolution, work on team building and connecting and respecting peers, and so much more. They cry, they laugh, they talk…it's really amazing. I saw the most beautiful part of my students at this workshop. Here's the link if you think you want to bring the Power of Peace to your school. I'm trying to get Mike to do a few workshops at my new school. I recommend this to all high schools!! ~ Michele Wells

Critical to engaging students in learning to the best of their abilities, are highly effective faculty, staff and leadership teams. In order to strive for excellence, schools first must learn how to work together towards common goals before they can encourage, inspire and educate.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
In the past year, the GNOME 2 release series has become the zombie of the free desktop.
Although replaced by GNOME 3, it refuses to die. Its mourners flock to Xfce, in which they see a resemblance of the deceased. It lives an undead existence in a crippled version in the current GNOME's fallback mode.
More recently, Linux Mint has taken on Dr. Frankenstein's role, trying to revive GNOME 2 in MATE, and reincarnate it as Cinnamon.
Since most of these efforts are not supported by the GNOME project, they have an air of heroism. Users are insisting on having what they want, no matter what developers decree, and I have to admire their persistence.
However, I find myself asking: What was so great about the GNOME 2 series? It had reached its limits a couple of years before GNOME 3 was released and its last few releases were distinctly minor.
Maybe as a primarily KDE user, I should keep quiet. Yet I can't help remembering that GNOME 2 had at least 7 annoying features that I, for one, would be happy to see dead and buried.
So before people rush to support its revival, maybe they should take a moment to remember all that is wrong about GNOME 2, instead of idolizing it uncritically, as if their brains had been eaten by something shuffling from its grave.
Like a zombie trailing bits of itself, through much of its history GNOME 2 continued to ship with tools that nobody wanted.
For instance, Epiphany is a Mozilla-based browser with fewer features than Firefox, and little, if any, corresponding improvement in speed. Similarly, although Evolution was popular seven or eight years ago as a personal information manager, in recent years it's been neglected the way that Microsoft once neglected Internet Explorer.
Some distributions also used to install with the AbiWord word processor and Gnumeric spreadsheet, the only parts of the GNOME Office Suite that were contemplated before the release of OpenOffice.org's code cut the legs from under all the other alternatives.
Not that anything is wrong with AbiWord or Gnumeric. AbiWord is one of the few word processors designed according to how most users actually work, while Gnumeric's calculation speeds are second to none, especially with complex formulas. But, as with Epiphany and Evolution, the inclusion of AbiWord and Gnumeric has more to do with the history of GNOME than with the needs of users.
GNOME 2's three-part menu might be called its main identifying feature. No installation is without it. Yet, for all its omnipresence, it's irritating to use.
For one thing, the Places menu is uneditable. Unlike the other two menus, you can neither add nor subtract items to the Place menu, nor remove the top-level menu. Even deleting one of the directories listed doesn't update the menu. Moreover, the less you use the default sub-directories in your home folder, the more useless the Places menu was.
Similarly, the division between Applications and System menus might make sense, except that one top-level item in Applications is System Tools. You never know when to look in System Tools or the System menu.
For that matter, the distinction between Preferences and Administration in the System menu can blur, too, depending on the distribution. Such problems should ensure that this triple-headed dog of a menu system isn't missed.
GNOME 2's Application menu is what is now described as classic. As you open each menu level, the menu drops open like pieces of fleshing dangling from a decaying arm. With too many items in one level, the menu descends to the bottom of the screen.
With too many sub-levels, it takes over the horizontal space on the desktop, throwing all open windows into the background.
An extreme example of this problem is the infamous Debian menu, which may list everything installed on the system, but also goes at least five levels deep. Assuming your menu is in the top left of the screen, two-thirds of the horizontal space on the screen can be taken over by the menu.
The one solution for these problems that was ever tried was to limit the number of menu items. This solution has the advantage of keeping new users from being intimidated by the sheer number of applications, but has the disadvantage of preventing the discovery of any application not listed.

The Executive Master in Digital Business is a master made of people, in which you create formal and informal opportunities for discussion, in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among the participants. Networking is further developed between students of the same class, between participants and lecturers, as well as with students from other courses and with the School community.

Two practical activities concludes each module:
Participants will work in teams on the digital business analysis of an assigned company; during the Master they will develop pitches on its digital business potential (digital business innovation and digital business generation) and they will develop it into final Project Work.
The project work concludes the didactic program and consists in the deployment of the company business analysis made during the previous modules. The project is a key benefit both for the participants and the companies. The project work is the activity that distinguishes the program and allows students to deepen their practical knowledge of both techniques and tools.
Direct contact with managers and key players of important companies represents a great opportunity for learning and networking.
The Executive Master in Digital Business is a 10-month part-time program compatible with employment or other professional activities. It consists in 11 on-campus meetings 3 days per month (Thursday to Saturday), online training activities, 1 kick off day and 1 final day for the Project Work presentation.

We are approaching the Industry 4.0 era: giving connectivity to a very large number of common use objects has not only changed the way we live, but also created a whole new business scenario. Environments that were completely closed to the external world are now ready to exchange information between them and represent a huge source of new business opportunities. The Internet of Things is a mixture of technologies and services that enables this digital transformation that we are seeing exponentially increasing in these years. There is no industry or field that has not been affected by this transformation and there already are many examples of how IoT have completely revolutionized the whole way of thinking at them.
The learning method of the Master alternates classroom learning with distance learning activities on the School's e-learning platform, which is constantly monitored by a specific tutor.
The distance learning activities entail a weekly work-plan on the School's e-learning platform that provides an individual learning activity overseen by the specific tutor. The platform is equipped with a Forum aimed at the real time sharing of comments and follow-up between professors and participants.
Courses last an entire residential and focus on a main subject area, ensuring an effective path to progress.
The Master is held in two different locations: a physical one at Villa Guastavillani, home to the Bologna Business School in Bologna and a virtual one i.e. the e-learning platform. Participants will be asked to write papers on the themes they have dealt with during each course with the support of a specific tutor on the e-learning platform.

At least one member must also have completed the required Board of Appeal training offered by the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
The Highway 15 Coalition came together in May 2004 to address the needs facing Trunk Highway 15 in the future. Since that meeting, the Coalition has positioned itself as the primary spokesperson, advocate, fundraiser and lobbyist for improvement of the corridor. The Mid Minnesota Development Commission (Region 6E) and the Region Nine Development Commission, along with MnDOT Districts 3, 7, and 8, joined together with cities, counties, and businesses along the route to form the Coalition and promote the upgrading of Highway 15.
In May 1997, 30 counties, cities, townships and regional rail authorities created the joint powers board known as the NorthStar Corridor Development Authority to address the increased need for additional transportation solutions between St. Cloud and Minneapolis. As of late 2009, the NorthStar Commuter Rail Line offers service from Big Lake to downtown Minneapolis for residents and businesses in one of the fastest growing transportation corridors in Minnesota.

In his introduction to the believers in Ephesus, Paul pronounces a blessing upon them declaring "grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." That is the focus of today's lesson.

A Simple Study of Ephesians 1:2
Ephesians 1:1-2 – Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Greek word: "apo" – is all about origin. It can either refer to the material from which something is made or of the person from whom an action comes. Thus the origin of the grace and peace is God Himself.
- The Greeting "Grace and Peace"
- this greeting is found in all of Paul's letters (1,2 Timothy, Titus includes "mercy")
- Greek culture's greeting ("chairein" … from same root as "grace" – "charis")
- Hebrew culture's greeting (shalom) – "peace" – a common greeting but also a blessing of health, soundness, and well-being
- Interesting that Paul uses the common Jewish and the Gentile greetings of his day to greet the church in Ephesus (made up of both Jewish and Gentile believers)
- Greek: charis – favor and loving kindness exemplified
- remember Jesus is the fullness of grace exemplified
- 4 ideas with grace:
- Grace is given freely and generously — but you must be willing to receive it (no crossed arms)
- Grace brings about salvation – Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." Jesus is our salvation and it is by His work upon the cross that we are saved
- Grace is our power to live godly in an ungodly world
- The word "grace" also gives the idea of "good will or a favorable attitude toward someone or something" – God's attitude toward you is full of "grace"
- Greek: charis – favor and loving kindness exemplified
- In Greek: eirēnē
- In Hebrew: shalom (the removal of every enemy faction)
- Ephesians 2:14 – "Jesus is our peace …"

Lupper (#17)
Jun 10th, 2010 by lewissandler
From Homer in The Simpsons TV Show
It would be more recognizable and logical if it spelt " lunpper".
Thank you for the comment Ma Ronghua..Maybe you can suggest your new form of the word "lupper" to the writers of The Simpsons. You will become famous and rich!
is that synonymous with high tea?
Thank you Zhang Li for your question: No, they are not synonyms. Except that both activities occur mid-afternoon, there are etymological differences. High tea, of British origin, is a midday snack with tea or milk whereas lupper is a portmanteau (combining two words to create another word: ex. brunch=breakfast+lunch; spork=spoon+fork; smog=smoke+fog), which means a midday meal between lunch and supper.

Looking back, Jay DiPietro says he was a little naive to think urban sprawl would bypass his secluded stretch of North Lyons Road. He and his family lived a country lifestyle on the wooded, dead-end, dirt road for 12 years.
``We pretty much believed it was never going to change,`` said DiPietro, general manager of Boca West Club Inc.
But by July, a six-lane bridge over the Hillsboro Canal at the north end of the road will link Broward and Palm Beach counties. Planners in Broward County and the Sawgrass Expressway Authority see a widened Lyons Road as a vital north-south corridor from Sample Road into Palm Beach County.
With repairs starting next year on Interstate 95 and in progress on State Road 7, many commuters are expected to use Lyons Road when its $7.3 million expansion is completed. Sun-Sentinel research shows that about 21,200 Broward residents work in Palm Beach County and about 10,000 residents of southern Palm Beach County work in Broward.
DiPietro is one of the former, but he said the shorter drive to work will not compensate for losing a treasured lifestyle.
He grew up in ``a slum, a real ghetto`` in Boston and wanted his seven sons to have more fun growing up than he had. So he bought the acre homestead he and his wife, Nikki, call Casa Ni Ja and began raising horses.
``After growing up in a tenement, I felt the struggle would be worth it so the kids could have dogs and cats and horses. And I thought someday maybe I could take it a little easier,`` DiPietro said.
Three other families live on the dead-end part of the road. Planners expect that eventually 20,000 cars a day will pass in front of their houses.
The thought of the traffic unnerves the DiPietros, who must back their cars out of their short driveway.

Day 123: Almost Evil?
Not sure why people like to equate themselves with blatant evil. Such as the bumper sticker in the center of this Tracker's bumper. If it is hard to read to you, it says "667 Neighbor of the Beast". I've seen others similar to this that say "665 - Almost Evil" and also "333 - Half Evil".
My assumption is these people think it is cute to make light of the very real threat of the Beast told of in scripture. This means they do not take God or His Word serious either. They mock an imminent threat to their existence that could show himself at any time. These types of bumper stickers and other jokes about things of scripture are blasphemous to their core.
When will people wake up and see that God is not mocked (Gal. 6:7)? The flippant use of God's Name is one of the highest sins committed, yet people drag His Name through the mud. Blasphemy is rampant and has grown to be part of every day speaking for the majority of people. Terms like "jeez, OMG, gosh, golly, geesh and holy cow" are all derivatives of blasphemy. If you say I am carrying this a little too far or that I am splitting hairs I would say that you are a large part of the problem. Society has grown accustomed to hearing and/ or saying things that defile God's Name.
Using other terms like hell and damn also is a ploy of Satan to desensitize people. This has been done in a large way by musicians that glorify going to hell as just a big party with all your friends in tow. Telling people to "go to hell" is also a sign of just how little people really regard the very real place of torment for those that reject God. Other things said like "hell yeah, hell no, damn it, I don't give a damn, I'll be damned" also show just how little people fear the place called hell and the damnation to that place because of their sins.
Everything that God created was for a purpose. The main purpose was to show His glory. Yes, even hell glorifies God in some aspects. 2 Peter 3:9 says that God is long-suffering in waiting for you to repent, that He doesn't want you to perish to the place called hell. You must repent and believe the gospel of Christ. He is the only one that can save you from the fire's of hell that cannot be quenched. Do you know Him? Have you given your life to Him as His slave out of love for Him. Or do you continue to reject the God of Abraham and Isaac?

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants previously convicted of crimes in the U.S. have been apprehended trying to enter the country via the Southwest border over the past 2.5 years, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data provided to Breitbart News.
Since fiscal year 2014, CBP agents have apprehended nearly 47,000 criminal aliens — over 6,400 of whom were caught more than once — illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
Specifically, CBP agents apprehended 21,887 criminal aliens, including 3,416 criminal alien recidivists in FY 2014. In FY 2015 there were 18,645 criminal alien apprehensions and 2,366 criminal alien recidivists, and in FY 2016 through April 12 there have been 6,435 criminal alien apprehensions and 626 criminal alien recidivists.
The numbers, as some experts pointed out, appear lower than expected — especially when viewed against Immigration and Customs Enforcement's removals of aliens apprehended at the border. In FY 2015, for example, ICE removed 235,413 aliens, 165,935 of whom were removed due to an apprehension at or near the border. Of those 165,935 border apprehension removals, 75,829 were criminals.
CBP stressed, however, that it does not have jurisdiction over those aliens who commit crimes after entering the U.S. and that the new CBP numbers are specifically illegal immigrants who already had a criminal record in the U.S. and were apprehended at the Southwest border.
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection's agents and officers protect America by preventing terrorists and criminals from entering the country while welcoming legitimate travelers and commerce," CBP spokesman Dan Hetlage said in a statement to Breitbart. "Our highly trained law enforcement personnel apprehend more than 1,000 individuals each day for suspected violations of U.S. Laws."
Jessica Vaughan, the director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, on the other hand, suggested that the low criminal alien apprehensions at the border could be indicative of weaknesses in the system.
"Since the Border Patrol still lacks the situational awareness and capability to know how many are undetected, and much of the border is not secured, and the Border Patrol has been forced to stand down rather than patrol aggressively, the decline in criminal alien apprehensions may be cause for concern, not confidence," she wrote in an email to Breitbart News.
And the numbers of criminal aliens apprehended at the Southwest border is likely a fraction compared to the criminals who make it across, according to testimony National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd offered before a House panel in February.
"A safe estimate from the Border Patrol agents would be that we arrest about 40 percent of what actually crosses," Judd told the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security.
"So if you've got the official numbers from the agency about what we actually arrest, that's about 40 percent of what comes," Judd added at the time.
Regardless, as Vaughan noted, "The fact that thousands of criminals are even attempting to cross illegally every year is cause for concern and confirms how important it is for public safety of the entire country that the federal government remain vigilant at the border. And it helps explain why states like Texas and Arizona think it is necessary to devote state resources to the problem."

SONGS such as Robbie Williams's Angels and Aretha Franklin's I Say A Little Prayer could soon be allowed at civil marriage ceremonies.
Church of England bishops have said songs with a spiritual element do not turn a civil marriage ceremony into a religious service and could be included.
They were responding to a review published earlier this year by the Deputy Registrar-General Dennis Roberts, which proposed relaxing a ban on religious references in secular ceremonies.
The Right Rev Martin Wharton, Bishop of Newcastle, said:"While there does need to be a clear difference between a religious ceremony and a civil one, the House of Bishops doesn't see songs like Angels as creating a religious service."
The ban on religious references in civil ceremonies was laid down by the Marriage Act 1949.
Should we be allowed to play Angels at our civil weddings? Have your say.

Lisk To Monero: TAN Bits Are Best
Thank you for coming to our site in looking for "Lisk To Monero" online. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's simply a representation of worth, but there is no genuine palpable type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about 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 total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, depending on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This option also creates a secure stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the benefit. In the case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be dealt like a commodity. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that this sort of online income is not governed by a central banking system and it is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a minimal variety of goods, this coin's price is founded on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to deal over cryptocurrency transactions.
Lisk To Monero: The Wealth Program – The Affluence Network
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in homes 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 runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the right place at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to discover how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent 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 dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it mended. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the way 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 regulated by any centered company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated 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 regulate how it works current inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. You have probably noticed this often times where you often distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not volatile? What happens when the price failures? " sofar, several POS devices gives free conversion of fiat, improving some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people is likely to be hesitant to put on any. We must discover a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't necessary to understand how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is fundamentally crucial that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can only select to print unlimited quantities (I am not saying they are doing so, just 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. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, 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. Instability of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that may result in business being unable to continue to manage or to cease operation. Many individuals prefer to use a money deflation, particularly those that need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial seclusion, for instance, is great for political activists, but more debatable 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 within your riches, with the remainder reserved for other currencies. When searching forLisk To Monero, there are many things to ponder.
Lisk To Monero – Making Your Dreams Reality: TAN
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Lisk To Monero. The trades of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use incredibly sophisticated technology about them to work. The thought is very simple than you think. The Blockchain allows two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two companies in a platform known It should be hard to get more little 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 rewarding than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to have a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there is 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 online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an amazing intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and pass up on very profitable business models made available due to the growing use of blockchain technology. You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! Viewers incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times) It is definitely possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities no matter marketplace behavior. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying 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 ok. If you are in search for Lisk To Monero, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Lisk To Monero: THE COIN – TAN
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can readily be reached by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set 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 thereby keeping you anonymous. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price 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 quantity of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to suggest that markets aren't exposed to price manipulation, yet there exists no need for large sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on earth market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. 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 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 permits innovative dispute arbitration 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 money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in money financing, it is a fact that one can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites now focus on Bitcoin, many of these sites you're needed fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a fair investment strategy.

Early Support Early Years Developmental Journal
Today (4th February) Early Support, the body that addresses the needs of disabled children, young people and their families, and The Open University launch the Early Years Development Journal. This is a new resource for families and the practitioners working closely with them to record a child's development to better aid the identification of areas where additional help may be required.
John Oates, Senior Lecturer at The Open University has led the creation of the journal. Speaking about the Journal he said, "This is a unique resource. It is designed to support key working and foster communication between all those involved in a child's development. While its primary use is for families, it is also intended that the Journal will be a useful resource for the 24-30 month statutory Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) progress assessment as well as supporting child health monitoring."
The Journal is based on extensive analysis of a wide range of developmental assessment tools and experience with the generic Developmental Journal that it replaces. The content of the Journal will also be incorporated into the forthcoming Early Support app and website.
The Journal has been developed by a team of specialists in child development, early years, and childhood disability and special needs, led by John Oates, with Silvana Mengoni of the Child and Youth Studies Group in the Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology at The Open University, Milton Keynes.
The Early Years Developmental Journal and a 'How to Use It' guide can be downloaded free of charge from the Early Support website

Bunn On Deadpools & Sixth Guns
Writer Cullen Bunn has been working in comics for years, releasing a mix of critical favs including the Oni Press horror noir "The Damned," but as 2010 draws into its final leg, Bunn's name is finding its way on more and more comic series, meaning the scribe may not be a cult favorite for much longer. This week sees the release of "Deadpool Team-Up" #888, Bunn's latest work for Marvel Comics, and over at Oni, he and frequent collaborator Brian Hurtt's ongoing series "The Sixth Gun" is racing towards the wrap of its first Western-meets-horror fantasy arc in November's issue #6. Bunn spoke with CBR about both projects and how they're continuing to spread his name further in the minds of fans.
"You can do anything you want with Deadpool," the writer said at the thought of bringing his personal creative sensibilities into the Marvel Universe. Bunn last year wrote an issue of the publisher's "Immortal Weapons" series focusing on the creepy heroine Bride of Nine Spiders, but when he got his first Deadpool gig as part of the Merc With A Mouth's absurdist issue #1,000, Bunn realized it "was a completely different monster since it was an 8-page story. You have to really think about what you're going to fit into that, not to mention writing a Deadpool story is vastly different than writing a Bride of Nine Spiders story.
"So the #1,000 story I did was essentially Deadpool versus a bunch of Chupacabras. It was a blast to write, and as that was coming about, we started talking about a 'Deadpool Team-Up' issue. I loved those kinds of books as a kid;Â 'Marvel Two-In-One' and 'Marvel Team-Up' were great books because you get two great characters together for a single issue and then they go their separate ways. I love those types of stories."
Bunn was invited to pitch as many team-ups as he could to his Marvel editors, and he took advantage of the opening. "I sent them the biggest list of insane ideas I could possibly come up with -Â I even pitched them on Deadpool meets the left half of Ares [after 'Siege.'] But the interesting thing was, the one I really wanted to do was Deadpool and The Thing that went back to Thing's roots in wrestling from his book in the '80s. I really wanted to do that. It was the one story I was hoping they'd like, and it was the one they wanted me to work on, so we were on the same page on what we wanted out of the issue."
Teaming with artist Tom Fowler on the project helped Bunn amp up the wild nature of a professional wrestling league populated by superheroes. "I've been really spoiled with the artists I've worked with so far in my time in comics. I couldn't be happier with Tom," he said. "It's a crazy story. I kind of debated which way I wanted to go with that -Â if I wanted to focus more on a straight Thing story with some Deadpool zaniness or not. But it's a pretty crazy story by its very nature: what would wrestling look like if it were real in the Marvel Universe? It'd look awesome! So it's great to introduce these crazy-looking characters. I created a lot of wrestlers that are in the league now. I was able to throw caution to the wind. I really wanted to go for a fun comic. I love some of the darker, more serious things, but I like the fun elements of comics too. I wanted it to be something where someone could pick it up never having read a comic and have fun with it."
Meanwhile, Bunn and Brian Hurtt continue to plug away at their epic Western horror fantasy "The Sixth Gun," published through Oni Press. The writer explained that the team's focus on the title has been to keep readers engaged within the pages of a book where cursed pistols rub shoulders with undead hoards and giant Native American spirit monsters while also keeping the price low and awareness high. "It's really tough. With an indie book, the first hurdle is getting people to pick up the book in the first place and take a chance on something that's new. Money is tight, and everybody's got things they like, so we have to look at it as though my writing the book and Brian's drawing the book is only half the battle. The other half is keeping it out there and doing some interesting things to promote it and keep it in people's minds," Bunn said, explaining that November's issue #6 will contain 12 extra story pages at no extra cost as they welcome the arrival of new series colorist Bill Crabtree of "Invincible" fame.
"Adding extra pages to the book – well, for one Brian and I are long-winded and like extra story -Â but we also thought it would be a good way at the end of the first arc to do some extra pages and to do something a little different with how the story is presented. I think people are really going to get a kick out of how the story's turned out."
"The Sixth Gun" tells the tale of confederate soldier turned professional cad Drake Sinclair, whose quest for a cursed pistol led him to cross paths with its former owner – the undead Southern General Oliander Bedford Hume -Â and his band of mercenary cutthroats. Over the course of the first arc, Sinclair has become unlikely protector of reverend's daughter Becky and card sharp Bill John, leading all three into an old timey shootout at a Western prison beset by Hume and a ghost army empowered by the strange guns that grant everything from eternal youth to magical hellfire.
"After issue #6, the arc reaches an end in terms of the story of Drake Vs. General Hume. But we also set up several threads of what's coming in the future," Bunn promised. "I started setting up some things about the purpose of the guns. There's a seal at the bottom of this prison [they're battling over], and when the guns are laid into it, it's like a locking mechanism. I don't fully explain it all because what goes forward after this is about the purpose of these guns. Why were they even brought into the world? What are they doing? Even though issue #6 wraps up the Drake Sinclair/General Hume storyline, it's not the end. It's not the last you see of those characters. They play a role going on to what I see as the true end of the series.
"There are forces at work beyond General Hume. He's one piece at work, but there's a much bigger picture."
Next year, the book's second arc will begin to test the mettle of its unlikely trio of protagonists. "I don't want to give too much away, because issue #6 does have some pretty big events in it, but what it does is set Drake's role up in terms of what propels the story forward. All the characters have gone through a change -Â Becky, Drake and Bill John are all different by the end of the issue, and they're going to be cast in roles where they'll have to figure out how to carry that forward. The second arc, which I've written all but the last issue of, really deals with the idea of 'How do we move forward with the cards we've been dealt? How do we escape our fate if we can? And if we can't, what does that mean for us?'"
Bunn said that the idea of casting an epic fantasy in the West spurs on much of what "The Sixth Gun" will become over its life as a series. "I'm kind of shoring some of the traditional fantasy elements and tropes with American folklore as well. That's one of the things I got really excited about. There's so much you can do, and there are so many different types of stories to be told," he noted, adding that he and Hurtt have worked out a list of awesome American legends, myths and folklore to build upon arc after arc. "My hope is to do some things that will surprise people. I don't want them to think, 'Oh, it's a genre mashup of the Wester and horror, or the Western and fantasy, so it's going to have these things.' I want to do some things that may catch people off guard.
"My initial pitch for 'The Sixth Gun' was vastly different from what you see coming out right now. The initial pitch for the story was very much a grounded story. There were no Thunderbirds and things like that. There were six cursed pistols, but that was the only supernatural element in the story. Other than that, it was a straight Western. Drake Sinclair was the villain of the original pitch. He was the main character, but he was 1,000% a bad guy in the original. As we started working on the story and thinking about it, I got excited about some of the possibilities and started to think about how we could make it bigger. I was trying to be very grounded, but then I started thinking in terms of setting it in an epic fantasy world only in the Old West. Then things really started to come together and change completely."
As all those ideas come together, the creators are committed to keeping their book on a regular shipping schedule with the aide of colorist Crabtree. "Brian does all the heavy lifting, and it's very important to us that this book comes out on a monthly basis, and we don't ever want to worry about it shipping late. The one x-factor in that was the coloring. Brian was knocking the ball out of the part every time with the colors, but it took a lot of time and was very taxing. That's when we talked to Oni about finding another colorist to give us a hand. Brian and I were adamant that it had to be a real high-level of quality. We wanted someone who would fit with the style Brian had previously established, so Bill coming in with the stuff he's done has been amazing. Brian's already knee-deep in issue #7 now, so we're sure the books not ever in danger of being late."
As for his own future, Bunn promised that more mainstream work is in the offing at both Marvel and DC Comics, but his next major release will team him with one of the indie world's biggest artists. "I did a book cowritten by Shawn Lee and illustrated by Matt Kindt called 'The Tooth,' and it'll be coming out from Oni next year in a nice, big graphic novel format. They may release some of it online. It's a monster Monster story – sort of like if I were writing Monster comics for Marvel in the '70s, it would have been 'The Tooth.' I think people who really like Matt Kindt's work, who's a terrific writer and great storyteller, will be surprised to see how much fun he's having with this. He told me he's never drawn this much insane monster action in all his life. It was a challenge for him but a fun one. That's all done and will be out next year."
"Deadpool Team-Up" #888 is on sale this week from Marvel Comics. "The Sixth Gun" #6, the final issue of the opening arc, ships next month from Oni Press.

Brasserie Sixty6 is over ten years old now, still serving great rotisserie chicken and mash, grilled steaks and even a suckling pig if you are organised enough and hungry enough. Always a good bet for good food, service and a damn fine night out.
Sixty6 led the charge to change Sth. Great George's Street into the foodie Mecca it has become. It's easy to forget that when they opened, it was a fairly lonely furrow. Since then of course they have been joined by 777, Rustic Stone, Fade Street Social, and all the other restaurants that now inhabit this foodie quarter of Dublin City.
It is a large premises, with a double front that stretches all the way back to the walls of Dublin Castle. There are two parallel dining rooms to the front, while further back the rooms opens up, and diners are afforded a view of the open plan kitchen. A feature chandelier Hans from the ceiling, a wall of plates dominates the entrance and a cocktail bar fairly rocks when it's busy, which is most of the time.
Brasserie Sixty6 is all about the meat, served from their rotisserie, or flame grilled or slow cooked. We have reviewed Sixty 6 several times since they opened, and always liked it. Paolo liked it too, and here is a little snippet of his review from almost a decade ago;
"For the main courses Roz had picked the Sixty6 rotisserie half chicken, one of the signature dishes.....I'd picked the sausage and mash option, where there was a choice of Cajun sausage, chive sausage or Italian sausage. Naturally I'd picked the Italian one, which was flavoured with the anisette taste of fennel. The sausages came on a bed of mash, and although a simple dish, I enjoyed it enormously."
I recently visited with Deirdre, the cleverer, prettier half for an early dinner after an afternoon shopping on Grafton Street. We arrived about six on a Friday and already the room was filling up. A table opposite the bar with plenty of room saw us nicely set up, and a bottle of Erdinger and some sparkling water, with homemade bread to nibble, made us happy while we checked out the menu.
Some things have changed obviously, but it's still true to its roots. The menu is short by some standards, but manages to pack in several dishes we liked the sound of. A cold October day made the choices easier; this was a day for meat, and while the rotisserie chicken is a favourite, we decided to try some others.
Elaine Nolan has been the GM here since the beginning, and who better to ask. She recommended the rib of beef or the wild boar chop, and that pretty much settled that, except for the addition of a seared tuna starter for me.
We settled back and before we noticed it the room had packed up, so now there was a pleasing buzz of conversation and laughter. It's big enough to handle it though, and the sounds of people being happy and having fun on a Friday after a long week were really quite enjoyable.
The seared tuna arrived, looking very pretty on its plate with wafer thin radish slices and shoots. It was perfectly cooked as I'd requested, seared on the outside, but still red inside. I prefer my tuna almost raw, and these perfect little slices were fabulous.
Our main courses arrived; on a plate wooden platter for me, with a twin boned rib of sticky barbeque rib standing proudly to attention. A bowl of crusty sweet potato wedges came on the side, and the sticky, sweet, smoky sauce was fabulous. I asked for more, and even when I had had more than my fill, couldnt resist dipping another morsel of meat or half a wedge in for more.
Deirdre's pork chop was on a bed of Savoy cabbage, and was juicy and tender and had a real tasted of pork, so often missing when the meat is sourced from intensively farmer animals. This was the opposite; it tasted like pork used to and was the perfect comfort food plate.
We somehow managed desserts, the special dessert tummy crying out for a sweet after our carnivorous adventures. Dee had the poached pear which was light and rather lovely, and as healthy a dessert as you could wish. I on the other hand couldn't resist a slice of the velvet raspberry cake and an Americano, and we eventually waddled off into the night, with a small bag of the impossible to finish rib of beef, all wrapped up and going home to be introduced to our other family member, the bold Rafa, and tiny terrier who actually smiled after being given his treat.
Brasserie Sixty6 is almost an institution, and it deserves to be. Delicious food, a fine setting and good service mean it always hits the spot. All cities have places you want to go back to for a bite with friends, and Brasserie Sixty6 fulfils that function. Very well. It's like a warm hug from an old friend.

Critically-panned fantasy adventure film "John Carter" is expected to lose $200 million for makers Disney, dragging its whole movie budget into the red, the studio said.
Disney said it would take the huge operating loss on the movie, made by Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton about a Civil War veteran transplanted to Mars, in its second fiscal quarter.
Starring Taylor Kitsch and Willem Dafoe, the movie cost an estimated $250 million, but was met with a chorus of derision from critics when it was released earlier this month.
The respected Rotten Tomatoes website said: "While 'John Carter' looks terrific and delivers its share of pulpy thrills, it also suffers from uneven pacing and occasionally incomprehensible plotting and characterization."
It was the first live action movie for Stanton, who won best animated film Oscars in "Finding Nemo" in 2004 and "Wall-E" in 2009. He also wrote for all three "Toy Story" movies as well as "Monsters, Inc."
But Disney insisted the embarrassing loss can be turned around by upcoming projects, including "The Avengers" and "Brave."
