WASHINGTON, Sunday—A few days ago I had the pleasure of having my old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Miller, lunch with me. Also with us were Mr. and Mrs. John W. Bracken Jr. and their two young children. The children were such delightful young guests, and I was interested in the poise of the 6-year-old boy. He had some difficulty in keeping up with the grown-ups, but he never complained when his mother wanted him to leave what was unfinished on his plate in order to catch up with the rest of us. I think that was showing great self-control, particularly if he liked his lunch!
On Friday I went to a luncheon given for Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune by the Southern Conference on Human Welfare. The subject was "The Effect of New Voters on the South." It seems to me that the new voters today are going to have a greater effect on the future everywhere. They are the ones who have been through the most gruelling experiences of the war. They are going to know more than anyone else what they want from the future.
I am seeing more and more of the returned veterans. Naturally, they have many different points of view. They come from varying backgrounds, their level of education varies and their experiences have been different, but among them all I find, as a whole, one very interesting similarity. I have yet to talk to a young veteran of this war who does not recognize the fact that unless the things he works for will benefit the country as a whole, they will not benefit him. There is a profound desire among them to continue to serve the country and its people. If they have been overseas, they have a tremendous appreciation of what this country means to the average citizen in the opportunities it affords, and they want to be worthy of the opportunity which is theirs.
I went to New York City late Friday afternoon and returned early this morning, having attended to family matters while there. Today is a quiet day, with a few people at lunch and at supper and the usual afternoon party for the Walter Reed patients.
One of our grandsons is home from school. He looks older and straighter and taller, but as slim as ever, which is more than I can say for myself. This is the first real indication to me that Christmas is approaching. I have had very little feeling that it was really here or would be before long, perhaps because so much of my usual pre-Christmas activity was done very early in an effort to comply with the request for early mailing. Now I find myself with comparatively little to do! Next week I imagine the Christmas spirit will really take hold of me, but as the war drags on it is getting harder and harder for all of us to enjoy any carefree moments.

The core cause is operating income DOWN 5% after insurance claims and operating expenses UP 16.5%. This puts the Cost to Income ratio the wrong side of 60%. Whilst HSBC has provided summary accounts for the quarter's results for the first time they do not provide an expense breakdown. The bank emphasises over $1bn dollars cost from own debt at $600m and provision for PPI insurance claims in the UK at $440m as a reason for the fall in pre-tax whilst much less emphasis is placed on the $1.4bn reduced loan impairment cost more than balancing the first two expenses. Higher salary costs and essential IT development costs are said also to be partly to blame but no numbers for these items are given.
A reduction in US consumer lending for strategic reasons is also mentioned. The bank has a strategy day later this week and this is expected to outline the beginnings of a significant restructure. The bank is expected to announce the withdrawal from some countries. It is expected to cut back further on some operations, in particular retail operations which it sees as largely non-core, with the possible exceptions of the UK and Hong Kong. Whilst cost cutting is required it will be announcements following this meeting as to how it intends to increase income that is likely to have the greatest effect on future share price. Shares were trading down a little over 1% in mid-afternoon trading in London following the results announcement.

Former Monsanto employees currently hold positions in US government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Supreme Court. These include:
Michael A. Friedman, MD, was Senior Vice President of Research and Development, Medical and Public Policy for Pharmacia, and later served as an FDA deputy commissioner.[222][223]
Linda J. Fisher was an assistant administrator at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before she was a vice president at Monsanto from 1995 to 2000. In 2001, Fisher became the deputy administrator of the EPA.[114]
Michael R. Taylor was an assistant to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner before he left to work for a law firm, one client of which was Monsanto. Taylor then became deputy commissioner of the FDA from 1991 to 1994, during which time the FDA approved rBST.[114] Anti-GM activists accused him of conflict of interest but a Federal investigation cleared him. Taylor was later re-appointed to the FDA in August 2009 by President Barack Obama.[224][225]
United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas worked as an attorney for Monsanto in the 1970s. Thomas wrote the majority opinion in the 2001 Supreme Court decision J. E. M. Ag Supply, Inc. v. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.[226] which found that "newly developed plant breeds are patentable under the general utility patent laws of the United States."[114][226][227]
Public officials with indirect connections or who worked for Monsanto after leaving public office include:
Mickey Kantor served on Monsanto's board after serving in government as a trade representative.[114]
William D. Ruckelshaus served as the first head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970, was subsequently acting Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then Deputy Attorney General of the United States. From 1983 to 1985, he returned as EPA administrator. After leaving government he joined the Board of Directors of Monsanto; he is currently retired from that board.[228]
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was chairman and chief executive officer of G. D. Searle & Company, which Monsanto purchased in 1985. Rumsfeld's stock and options in Searle were $12 million USD at the time of the transaction.
Initially the neonicotinoid in the video below was given a conditional release and although further studies were required by law none were produced and the chemical use has become widespread.
Due to the corruption that exists in the North American governments it is impossible to get any action taken against these toxic neonicotinoid insecticides. However, the European governments are less corrupt and have responded to the public demand and restricted the use in many countries. Right now the EU is deciding whether or not to ban the use of neonicotinoid insecticides. The proof that neonicotinoids are dangerous not only to bees but all living things is monumental (Killing Bees, Canadian Beekeepers, Neonicotinoids kill Bees, Insecticides and Bees, GE Corn ).
This from Purdue University:
Honeybee deaths linked to seed insecticide exposure
Multiple Routes of Pesticide Exposure
for Honeybees Living Near Agricultural Fields
Christian H. Krupke, Greg J. Hunt, Brian D. Eitzer, Gladys Andino, Krispn Given
Populations of honeybees and other pollinators have declined worldwide in recent years. A variety of stressors have been implicated as potential causes, including agricultural pesticides. Neonicotinoid insecticides, which are widely used and highly toxic to honeybees, have been found in previous analyses of honeybee pollen and comb material. However, the routes of exposure have remained largely undefined. We used LC/MS-MS to analyze samples of honeybees, pollen stored in the hive and several potential exposure routes associated with plantings of neonicotinoid treated maize. Our results demonstrate that bees are exposed to these compounds and several other agricultural pesticides in several ways throughout the foraging period. During spring, extremely high levels of clothianidin and thiamethoxam were found in planter exhaust material produced during the planting of treated maize seed. We also found neonicotinoids in the soil of each field we sampled, including unplanted fields. Plants visited by foraging bees (dandelions) growing near these fields were found to contain neonicotinoids as well. This indicates deposition of neonicotinoids on the flowers, uptake by the root system, or both. Dead bees collected near hive entrances during the spring sampling period were found to contain clothianidin as well, although whether exposure was oral (consuming pollen) or by contact (soil/planter dust) is unclear. We also detected the insecticide clothianidin in pollen collected by bees and stored in the hive. When maize plants in our field reached anthesis, maize pollen from treated seed was found to contain clothianidin and other pesticides; and honeybees in our study readily collected maize pollen. These findings clarify some of the mechanisms by which honeybees may be exposed to agricultural pesticides throughout the growing season. These results have implications for a wide range of large-scale annual cropping systems that utilize neonicotinoid seed treatments.
From toxicologist Dr. Henk Tennekes
"In this segment of The Organic View, host, June Stoyer speaks to esteemed toxicologist and author, Dr. Henk Tennekes, about his research and discuss this monumental devastation that will affect us on a global scale. Dr. Henk Tennekes has been involved with cancer research for most of his career. His work regarding bees began after reading an official report to the Dutch Minister of Agriculture on the decline of bees. He was amazed at the lack of information on insecticides as a possible factor in the bee decline. Dr. Tennekes then began to research the impact of neonicotinoid insecticides such as imidacloprid and clothianidin. He discovered that they were identical to those of genotoxic carcinogens. These chemicals are not only affecting the honeybees but other species that are not closely monitored such as butterflies and other insects. He began to study the food habits of declining bird species and discovered that they depended on invertebrates. Dr. Tennekes is convinced that there is a link between the use of neonics and the decline of insects and birds. Some countries such as Germany have already banned the use of these chemicals. However, if these applications are not banned, there will be an impending environmental catastrophe that is irreversible."
To see studies done on the effects of insecticides and bees go to our Beekeepers' Library. To help Europe and it's bees go to Ban the Neonicotinoids and sign the petition to support the EU's decision to ban the use of neonicotinoid insecticides.

Nawaz Sharif's popularity is declining: British Journal
SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association)
British Journal "Economist" claimed today that Nawaz Sharif is losing his support and he is unable to maintain cordial ties with India. Three major problem weakened Nawaz Sharif that include, Economic issues, uneven ties with India and protest demonstrations led by PTI Chief Imran Khan. Poor law and order situation is another cause of his waning popularity. He is unlucky that his Indian counterpart is not cooperating to normalize the ties. Nationalist leader Narenda Modi knows that his party seeks strict policy against Pakistan and therefore he decided to end peace talks in August. Indian PM also gave free hand to military in occupied Kashmir resulted in a sheer violence. On the other hand PTI chief Imran Khan was also hell bent to oust Nawaz Sharif and change the regime but due to military and Parliamentary support PTI chief could not succeed in his task. The journal added that Imran enjoys wide popularity an 18% voters are supported him that include majority of youth.
Poor law and order situation is another cause of his weakening power as Pakistan faced number of violent incidents including Wahga border attack that took 61 lives. Meanwhile another heart wrenching incident of burning alive a Christian couple in Kot Radha Kishan shows poor writ of the state. All these factors have weakened power of incumbent Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

I am also Research Associate at the Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding, Graduate Institute Geneva. I hold a doctorate from the Department of International Development and St. Antony's College, University of Oxford.
I have conducted extensive fieldwork in the war-torn and crisis-affected borderlands of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, analysing the relationships among rebels, criminals and paramilitary groups and exploring their impact on citizen security.
My research interests as an academic and policy adviser lie at the interface of conflict, security and transnational organised crime, especially drug trafficking as well as terrorism, peace building and governance. I am particularly interested in the role that diverse types of violent non-state groups play in these dynamics. Among other areas, I focus on the political economy of borderlands as spaces were criminal, terrorist and conflict dynamics converge. Methodologically, I am fascinated by the use of ethnographic methods in Political Science and International Relations, drawing on insights from Anthropology, Sociology, Criminology, Development Studies and Area Studies.

It's been 36 hours since Torin has had a bottle. I don't know whether I'm speaking too soon, but it looks as if we're finished with bottles for good. The transition has been a lot less painful than I had imagined. He has protested a little bit, but I think it's mainly because he's teething. We've been able to preoccupy him with toys and books and Yo Gabba Gabba. Because he is now able to eat three solid meals a day, plus snacks and sippy-cup drinks, it's simply time to move onward and upward.
My little Pookie isn't such a little Pookie anymore. He's my big boy. I'm so proud of him.

As an entrepreneur, one is bombarded with different questions and decisions to make on a daily basis. One of these queries pertains to fixed assets: Should you buy a retail property for sale or lease one instead? Today we shall help you find out the answer to that by checking out the pros and cons of each option.
Option #1: Buy a Retail Property for Sale
- You have ownership and therefore control over the asset. You don't have to abide by the rules and restrictions of the owner or landlord.
- You can gain equity. If all the right factors align, the property's value can be appraised and this value increase shall be seen as an additional worth in your company.
- In some cases, the amount of rental and mortgage payments comes close. With the latter, you gain ownership over time unlike the former.
- It wouldn't be beneficial if you see your business moving to a new place in a few years time.
- It requires a significant lump sum value to make the purchase happen.
- There are various costs to maintain the asset and keep it functional and valuable.
- Prime locations for sale are more often than not either too pricey or unavailable.
Option #2: Lease a Retail Property
- Many retail assets for rent are situated in prime locations with heavy foot traffic providing maximum exposure of one's brand and offerings.
- You don't have to worry about maintenance and repairs cost because that is the job of the landlord. Sometimes though, this can vary depending on lessor-lessee agreements.
- It doesn't require the use of a hefty amount of cash in one sweep.
- There are risks of moving out even if you don't want to and losing a good location. At the end of contracts, landlords can replace tenants. Competition is pretty tough.
- You don't have ownership so instead of being recorded as an asset, the rental costs are recorded as expenses in the financial statements.
Whether you buy a retail property for sale or lease one instead is completely up to you. After all, no two entities are exactly alike. You need to cater to your unique needs so careful analysis should be done before a decision has to be drawn. Consider all variables and factors first.

Solar cells are notoriously expensive to produce–and though they generate renewable energy, they can also be pretty hard on the earth in terms of the natural resources required to produce them. Concentrated solar power seeks to address both issues by getting more power out of each solar cell on a panel, and HyperSolar, a California-based company, recently reported a major technological breakthrough in this area.
The HyperSolar concentrator layer works to increase the amount of light that reaches a given solar cell, decreasing the number of solar cells manufacturers must fit on a panel in order to achieve the desired level of output. While it's too soon to say exactly how much this new technology could decrease the price of solar panels in general, the impact is likely to be significant.
To help us get clear on how all of this works, Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar, Inc., answered a few questions for us.
EarthTechling (ET): How did HyperSolar get started? What was the vision behind it?
Tim Young (TY): The concept of using optics to increase the output of solar cells is not new. Our vision, however, is to use photonics, a science closely related to optics, with traditional manufacturing methods and traditional crystalline solar cells, which are responsible for 90% of the solar electricity output today. The HyperSolar layer over a solar cell can increase the output of that solar cell by 300% or three times. With the HyperSolar layer used as the top sheet of a traditional solar panel, the manufacturer can drastically reduce cost of their panel by putting fewer "expensive" silicon solar cells in their panels.
Our lead inventor is Nadir Dagli, an expert in the field of photonics and nanophotonics. He got the company started with this concept. Dr. Dagli received his PhD in electrical engineering from MIT and has pioneered may novel breakthrough technologies in photonics and made significant contributions in fiber optics for the high speed telecommunications field. Our success at HyperSolar is based on many of the same principals of micro fiber optics and guiding light from one point to another, making his experience completely relevant to our needs.
ET: How does your new light magnification layer work in conjunction with an existing solar cell?
TY: You read about solar electricity prices coming down, but the fact remains that less than one percent of our power is generated by solar. The reason for that is without government grants and subsidies, solar is still not at price parity with coal, oil, and other forms of power generation. While at this point in our development, it would be reckless to quote a cost per watt price of a panel with the HyperSolar layer, suffice it to say that if we can reduce 2/3 of the solar cells in a panel with an inexpensive optical layer, we can drastically reduce the cost per watt.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures fell significantly Wednesday with both sides in the budget battle appearing to grow more entrenched and prepared to slug it out.
Because of the partial government shutdown the ADP private payroll report, usually a precursor to crucial U.S. monthly jobs data, became the most crucial indicator this week.
While private employers added 166,000 jobs, the ADP report was not as strong as economists had expected.
Dow Jones industrial futures fell 77 points to 15,043. S&P futures lost 10 points to 1,679.40. Nasdaq futures slid 17.5 points to 3,228.
Because of the vacuum created by the shutdown of the Labor Department, which will not release the September jobs statistics as scheduled this week if there is no resolution in Washington, the ADP report took on greater weight.
Economists had been looking for job additions in the neighborhood of 180,000, much stronger than the actual number released Wednesday. Employers added just 159,000 jobs in August and 161,000 in July, according to ADP, but both of those figures were slightly lower than the original projections as well.
Markets shook off the partial government shutdown Tuesday, but that sentiment appeared to change Wednesday with no resolution in sight.
The costs of the shutdown, given the fledgling recovery, may be starting to sink in.
Economists say that every week the government is shuttered trims about 0.2 percent from gross domestic product.
That could grow worse if turmoil on the Capitol begins to depress consumer or business confidence.

Recently I've heard more than one of my colleagues say that they wish we had bishops. I confess to these thoughts occasionally myself. But bishops?! We're Unitarian Universalists! We trace our congregational history all the way back to the Cambridge Platform of 1648! Bishops don't tell us what to do. Ministers don't tell us what to do. Nobody tells us what to do. We tell the leadership what to do. We're Unitarian Universalists.
Ah. Yes. Well, there's the rub, you see. Nobody tells us what to do. And this is where we get into trouble.
Our polity is congregational. It has been ever since the gathered churches of the Massachusetts Bay Colony got together and covenanted with each other in the Cambridge Platform of 1648. These early proto-Unitarians (and proto-Congregationalists) were fierce in their assertion that it was the people, not the bishops, who had the right to determine what happened in the churches. The churches – the faithful themselves – would call their own ministers. They would determine what was required for membership. They would determine who would be ordained.
But how could they be sure that they would call ministers who would preach to them what they needed to hear and not just what they wanted to hear? To be sure, this is the great weakness in congregational polity. The prophet Micah warned of this:
"If someone were to go about inspired and say deceitfully:
"I will preach to you for wine and liquor,"
such a one would be the preacher for this people!" (Micah 2:11)
Still, the gathered churches understood that they weren't just getting together for the hell of it (as it were). They weren't country clubs – they were churches. And as such, they did believe that there was someone who had ultimate authority to tell them what to do. But only one someone, and that was God. And that's the big thing. Those early churches might have been passionately congregational, but they also had a rigorous theology. These two things cannot be separated without dire consequences.
And then along came Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson, (who ended up leaving the ministry, by the way), who preached a fanatical individualism. And Unitarians, and then Unitarian Universalists, latched on to Emersonian individualism like ticks on a dog. We became all about "me" to the point where some of us have forgotten about "we." And we've even codified this into our Unitarian Universalist Association covenant in the principles and purposes.
The covenant as it is written now in our bylaws lists seven principles – and most of our people can name the first and seventh if they can't remember the five in-between. But I think our principles are completely out of order. We've placed individualism above all else with our first principle: "We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person;…"
We started…we started with the individuality bit. Not community. Not spirituality. The supremacy of the individual. What could possibly go wrong? Well, I'll tell you. Way back before the Unitarians and the Universalists merged and before the apotheosis of the individual in the principles and purposes, Unitarians, fed on the diet of Emersonian individualism, were already firing ministers who were speaking uncomfortable truths to the people. Moncure Conway was kicked out of All Souls Church, Unitarian in Washington, DC for his outspoken abolitionist stance. The people didn't want to hear that. But the people needed to hear him.
I don't really think that we need a shift to episcopal polity. But I do think we need to change some things. I think that we can't have congregational polity without a rigorous theology. We are not the church of "do-as-you-please." I've heard this more times than I care to count from people in our churches, "I come here because you can believe whatever you want here." Um….no. No. We have other principles in the current covenant that follow that inherent worth and dignity one. Principles such as "acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; and a free and responsible search for truth and meaning." Just to name a couple. So no – you can't believe whatever you want or do whatever you want – that's not responsible.
So we could start by taking a harder look at our own covenant and holding ourselves to it. And then we might want to consider the form of our current covenant. Perhaps we might want to re-order the principles. And then we might want to take our spiritual journeys seriously.
We can govern ourselves – but not until we're ready to put aside the "me first" mentality. Because it's not about me. It's not about you. It's about all of us and those yet to come. When we make decisions for the church the decisions have to be about what's best for the church – not about what I think I might want at this very moment. It's not about what we want, but what we need. And sometimes we need to hear the hard things. Let us remember the covenant. Enough with the Emerson already!
That's all I've got. That's my mite.

Active Light
Easy twinkle toes. You might be raring to go, but as a new kid on the block, you might want to take it easy, just until you get warmed up.
Hang in there...
Easy twinkle toes. You might be raring to go, but as a new kid on the block, you might want to take it easy, just until you get warmed up.
Energetic and frisky, you sure know your way around the gym, and can give most a run for their money.
You're a force to be reckoned with. With your eyes on the prize, the rest of the class better watch out.
The only competition you see is you. So set your own speed, and race yourself to the finish line.
Enjoy the benefits of altitude training without climbing a single mountain in our amazing Apex cycle studio, where the air is equivalent to 2000m above sea level.
How does it work? Air gets thinner the higher you go and lower oxygen levels mean you make more red blood cells. Your body – especially the heart and lungs - works harder to adapt. The result is you move and use oxygen more efficiently, which makes you stronger. No wonder elite athletes like Bradley Wiggins head for the heights to give them the competitive edge.
So whether you're training for a triathlon, want to get fitter or acclimatise for a ski trip, our Apex cycle studio helps you get there. You won't have to go it alone – work out with inspirational instructors alongside like-minded people while brilliant music fills the studio. That's motivation!
There's no need for any altitude induction with this class, just come along and start pedalling.
Be part of our altitude peloton and enjoy the ride of your life.
Make sure you arrive five minutes early for the first class so we can set up your bike.
Please note: Be sure to tell the instructor if you have any medical problems, take medication, are pregnant or feel ill on a plane.
Works heart & lungs
Tones muscles
Improves strength
Pedal on a stationary bike
Increase resistances
Cycle at altitude
A towel to dry off with
Plenty of water

Guide to introducing an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in Port Penn, Delaware.
There has been a great deal of confusion on what an initial coin offering is (ICO– likewise often called a token generation occasion or token sale), what sort of business an ICO can be used for, and what goes into launching an ICO– from a job's perspective.
Disclaimer: This is not to be interpreted as investment or legal suggestions, but rather indicated as a design template to reveal the process behind an ICO, and what a job's stakeholders (team, board, stakeholders) should consider when performing an ICO.
Offered the blockchain industry is fairly brand-new, there isn't really a great deal of info on the topic (from a task's perspective), and with each new ICO, groups are learning finest practices on what to do and exactly what not to do. Below is a guide of all of the details we gathered about the ICO process, with input from individuals who experienced the process very first hand.
If you want to contribute to this guide, or have any recommendations, don't hesitate to make recommendations here:.
The biggest 2 questions you need to think of initially are:.
- What is the purpose of the token?
- Are you sure you want to do an ICO?
Token: Considerations for
- Exactly what is the function of the token?
- What function or energy does it carry out?
- Is the token definitely essential?
- Why does your project have to be on the blockchain?
- Can you describe a viable financial design behind it?
If your application does not have to be built on top of a blockchain procedure, you ought to concentrate prior to progressing. For instance, the computational costs of constructing an application on top of Ethereum is far more pricey than something like AWS. You need to have a strong reason for why you are constructing a decentralized application vs. a central application.
If you are not sure whether your application ought to be built on the blockchain or not, you need to do more research and spend more time finding out about Bitcoin and Ethereum. Developing a decentralized application is essentially various than an application using client-server architecture, and you'll need to totally comprehend the elements of a blockchain and exactly what can be built on top of this new architecture.
{ICO|Initial Coin Offerings in Port Penn, DE 19731
An ICO is essentially different than raising money through VC's or other conventional methods.
On one-hand, you are offering future usage of your platform (not giving up equity). On the other-hand, you are ending up being a public business on the first day. You'll have a huge neighborhood you'll have to manage post-ICO, and you need to make certain you wish to handle this problem beforehand.
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind while thinking through whether your job needs to do an ICO in the first place:.
- Everything you do and all the actions you take will be reflected in the cost of the token.
- Your team will get bombarded non-stop, multiple times a day, with concerns about the price of your token.
You'll need to be a global company from the first day.
- All your internal team discussions will likely be pressed publicly.
- There will be great tension in attempting to construct things that are long-term valuable vs. short-term valuable.
- If your product isn't really open sourced already, there will be a substantial backlash to become totally open sourced. There is a strong expectation that lots of blockchain jobs are open-sourced projects.
- In general, cryptocurrency jobs are way more public/transparent than normal start-ups, and even standard public business.
In general, good blockchain projects look and operate much more like open-sourced software projects vs. traditional tech businesses. You and your team will need to decide both whether your application makes sense to be built on a blockchain + you want to operate as a transparent and open business.
Marketing is inadequate, individuals have to know and trust your abilities.
Many of these early ICO's were performed by deep stack blockchain developers that became part of the core crypto neighborhood, with high track record and track record. The ICOs that sold out fast and fast did not come out of thin air. Early token financiers– who by the way were also part of the core crypto community– understood these developers well, and trusted them, as their particular product idea had actually been gone over and peer reviewed for many months over Reddit, Twitter, Slack, Bitcoin Talk, various crypto podcasts, and so on.
White documents are business plans of the Web3 with which teams aim to raise your funds, often before having a model. Composing an excellent whitepaper is the primary job for each team. Prevent outsourcing the writing to 3rd parties. If you desire people to take you seriously, you need to include the entire team: from core devs to your sales people. You require a semi-technical explanation of how your job works and an easy to understand walk through for non-techies. The whitepaper must be interesting investors with no technical knowledge and developers alike. It needs to include:.
Credible technical roadmap.
Possible service roadmap.
Clear tokendistribution model.
You can take your effort one action further and launch a technical paper like the Ethereum's Yellow paper or Zcash's technical whitepaper. These documents give a more insight into the technical application and are only focused on people with deep understanding of blockchain technology. They offer more trustworthiness to your tech understand how, and enable online swarm review. Technical documents have so far generally been utilized for blockchain token sales and not for dApps token sales.
Model – Port Penn DE 19731
You will be more reputable if you currently have a product model. Motivate people to visit your GitHub page and play with the code. Please note, tasks without a single line of code raise numerous warnings in the eyes of financiers. If your name is not Vitalk Buterin or Gavin Wood– simply using examples here– you might have problems raising money only with a white paper.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - Have you've ever wanted to get into couponing, but found the whole process to be overwhelming?
Kimberly Roberts has couponing down to a science, and now she's teaching you how to do it. She started a group on meetup.com where everyone can learn to coupon one subject at a time.
"A lot of people want to know...they just don't know how to get started," said Roberts.
For beginners, there's the Coupon 101 class. You'll learn to start slow, picking one or two stores and maximizing your saving by learning their policies and ads.
"They have different means to get coupons, some stores have e-coupons, they'll have coupons hidden in their ads and those ads are different than what's sitting at the front door."
She tackles subjects like drug stores, using smartphones for discounts, mystery shopping and how to use coupon overage to pay for other products you buy.
"I went into Kroger, my bill was $180 and I walked out paying $9. Most of that was overages."
Kimberly explains how to take advantage of rebates and the policies behind coupon stacking.
"The average couponer makes $74 to $82 an hour."
For the vegetarians, organic shoppers or those with food allergies, there's no excuse. There are huge discounts that apply to those specialty diets.
"Common kindness is one of my favorite sites, and that's all organic."
Don't have the savvy to match coupons to sales?
"You will find the blog for you and there is somebody out there doing the work for you."
And for those who think it's too time consuming...
"I usually prepare 15 to 20 minutes prior to going out the door."

It is hard not to cry watching the unfolding horror in Gaza – children with heads blown off, a pregnant woman with her body torn by a shell, babies with missing limbs, targeting of playing children, targeting hospitals, targeting ambulances and even a handicap center, killing two handicapped children.

Sept. 9 marks 40 years since the uprising at Attica State Prison in upstate New York and the deadly and sadistic retaking of the prison – and mass torture of hundreds of prisoners all the rest of the day and night and beyond – by state police and prison guards on the morning of Sept. 13, 1971. Attica and its aftermath exposed the powder kegs ready to explode inside the U.S. prisons.
September 8, 2011
We have just finished commemorating the 40th anniversary of the assassination of our beloved Comrade George Jackson. Not forgotten by us was the horrific massacre perpetrated by the state of New York at Attica. At the time, we were in the adjustment center at San Quentin mourning our loss and recovering from the brutality inflicted upon us in the aftermath of the Aug. 21 incident when the state murdered our comrade.

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this letter to appeal to you to take heed of the message that the House of Representatives sent out to Americans on June 24 by rejecting the text authorizing U.S. military intervention in Libya and ending the on-going attacks against the Libyan people with the most extravagant excuses, like the attacks are there to protect them.

In version 6.0.0, Talend Studio uses Maven to build a Job. At start up, the Talend Studio will check the status of the Maven JARs required for building the job. If necessary, Talend Studio will try to download them automatically from the Internet. If the Maven JARs are not downloaded successfully, you may get an error when building the Job, or the archive file may not be created without displaying any error.
If you are behind a proxy, you need to configure its access in the Maven setting file to ensure that the Maven JARs are downloaded successfully. This article demonstrates how to configure a proxy in the Maven setting file.
This article applies only to v6.0.0. Since v6.0.1, the Maven repository is delivered natively with the Talend Studio and already contains all required Maven JARs. However, with 6.1 a new parameter was introduced for advanced users. See Changing the Maven repository location, below.
In Talend Studio, Click Windows > Preferences > Maven > User Settings.
In the maven setting file, add the following snippet, as shown in https://maven.apache.org/settings.html#Proxies.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd"> <proxies> <proxy> <id>myproxy</id> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>proxy.somewhere.com</host> <port>8080</port> <username>proxyuser</username> <password>somepassword</password> <nonProxyHosts>*.google.com|ibiblio.org</nonProxyHosts> </proxy> </proxies> </settings>
By default, all artifacts are stored locally to the Studio (or the Commandline).
If the need arises, you may want to change the location of the Maven repository to a remote location based on the user setting.
To do so, simply change maven.repository=local to maven.repository=global. In this case, artifacts will then be stored in <user>/.m2, which will then require the user to have admin rights.
