It's uncommon to change windows on buildings following seasonal changes. We rather just put up curtains or blinds when the sunlight gets too intense in the summer. Now there are windows that control the level of heat penetration by themselves according to seasonal changes in order to control indoor chroma and temperatures. They are called smart windows and they're highly appreciated for their energy conservation effects and the new eco-friendly material alternative to normal glass. Windows are now getting smarter.
What Is a Smart Window and What Does It Do?
Smart windows can be defined in multiple ways depending on how they're being used: for cars or buildings. A smart window usually refers to a window that can adjust light penetration using voltage, by making itself transparent or opaque. It gets darker when the outside temperature goes up, and becomes transparent again in order to absorb more sunlight when the temperature goes down. Smart windows can save energy with this kind of seasonal light control.
The smart window is a good alternative for growing environmental issues and effective energy use. It enhances its economic value by responding to the outside environment to spend less energy while also collecting and saving natural energy. This is why smart windows are being recognized as functional alternatives in various fields like construction, industrial sites, and transportation. Smart windows also provide convenience by constructing a safe and pleasant living environment and, in turn, a better city for us.
Smart Window Handling Sunlight and Electricity
The key principle of a smart window is the film inside which has a substance that controls the sunlight penetration ratio. Smart windows change color quickly and are being used in various fields. Sometimes we can see them being used at crowded areas like highways or stadiums as display boards. It's also installed at stores' fronts to keep the walls transparent during the day but darkened after closing.
When used as sunroofs on cars, smart windows can block up to 40% of visible light to protect the driver's skin and eyes. As it also blocks over 99% of UV rays, it can successfully replace curtains and blinds to keep furniture and cloth items from getting discolored by sunlight. Mercedes-Benz is also commercialized smart windows by installing a color changing panorama sunroof called Magic Sky Control in some of their automobiles.
As we see, smart windows are being applied in various areas and their potential is endless. The fact that it uses energy efficiently and can be applied to different kinds of display materials definitely seems to show great prospects.
How Far Have Smart Windows Come? Smart Windows in Korea and around the Globe
Global Information mentioned them in a report from NanoMarkets in 2013 and said smart windows had already formed a market reaching over $1 billion. They also expected this market to grow up to $2.7 billion by 2018. Though the smart window market is mostly growing outside Korea, some technological developments are underway in Korea.
Smart Windows in Korea
Let's first take a look at how far the smart window industry has come in Korea. In 2002, the Korean glass provider SDPI developed their own large smart window production technology with the polarized particle production technology adopted from RFI in the U.S. SDPI then provided their products to a U.S. aircraft company.
In 2012, Nano Science Technology Institute from SungKyunKwan University and Korea Electronics Technology Institute developed and commercialized a smart window technology that controls the window's sunlight penetration according to the season and weather. This smart window is considered economic since it doesn't require a complicated production process. It drew global attention due to the fact that it changes based on the outside environment without any specific manual control and that it can be used for a long time.
More recently, the Photoelectric Conversion System Development Team from Korea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST) came up with a smart window in accordance with an English research team. They developed a substance which automatically opens and shields the visible light by detecting if the light includes any UV light. This substance was combined with a solar panel for windows which turned them into solar panel smart windows.
The existing smart window technologies have a function that passes or blocks sunlight, but they also required additional power sources and had to be turned on by users. This new solar panel smart window responds to UV light without any power source or user control. Since smart windows have better efficiency as they work by themselves and they can produce additional electricity, they are attracting a lot of attention.
Smart windows around the globe
There is countless research being done around the world so I'll share just a few of the major cases. Milpitas from California developed a window through which the residents can control light/heat penetration and reflection. By depositing thin films between two sheets of glass, it can regulate the sunlight and heat from the outside. These films, put between panes of glass like a sandwich, have two conductive oxidized films consisting of an ion storage layer and an electrolyte/chromium layer.
The principle of this window is to have low voltage go through the conductive oxide in order to get the ions from the storage layer and let them get through the electrolyte layer and into to the chromium layer, where it either absorbs or reflects the light. When the voltage is applied to the opposite direction, the ions come back to the storage layer and the window gets brighter to let more light in.
A similar case is View Dynamic Glass from View, a company which specializes in windows. This product has a thin layer made of the sensor, electronic circuit, and electronic substances that work together to automatically control the penetration of light. What's surprising about this product is that it controls the light penetration by recognizing the intensity of the light and the location of the Sun using its electronic circuit. You can also control light penetration through an app on your smart phone.
How Far Can Smart Windows Go?
It's quite surprising to see all this new technology for smart windows. What's odd here is that we don't see a lot of buildings and cars that have actually installed smart windows. The biggest problem is that smart windows are pricy. The technologies to create them are complicated and it's not easy to materialize such technologies in reality, so smart windows naturally tend to be more expensive. The technology itself has not reached a level advanced enough to be commercialized and production itself. There are still issues to be solved such as implementable colors and durability.
These limits, however, can't lessen the value of smart windows. They not only have high energy efficiency, but also great aesthetic and functional usability in construction and manufacturing industries. Smart windows can provide the new basis for growth in the glass and window production industry, as they can be developed for other top-notch displays such as smartphones, PCs, and TVs. If you have seen the movie Minority Report, you might remember this transparent glass to display various kinds of data. That scene could actually become a part of our lives when the technologies for virtual reality and smart windows converge.
One of the most important issues of the century is energy deficiency and now more people are interested in the issues of energy conservation and storage technology. In this context, smart windows can become a great functional alternative based on their economic use of energy. The smart window market which was only seen as a niche market is now growing globally with the increasing awareness on energy issues. I hope to see Korea continue new and original technologies to lead the global market.

Prepare to batten down hatches as rain returns
Scotland could be hit by the first floods of 2014 when torrential rain and high tides are expected to hit much of its coastline tomorrow.
The warning of the storm surge came as parts of the country continued to recover from flooding earlier this week.
Flood warnings were issued throughout the country after another day of heavy rain. And more rain and high tides are expected to hit Ayrshire, the Borders, Tayside, and Dumfries and Galloway tomorrow.
Parts of Dumfries and Galloway are still recovering from floods which saw emergency services rescue householders and holidaymakers from homes.
Yesterday, Alex Salmond chaired a meeting of the Resilience Committee to prepare for the next weather front. Speaking afterwards, Paul Wheelhouse, the Environment and Climate Change Minister, said:…

"Abram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness." (Gen. 15:6)
"For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift — not from works, so that no one can boast." (Eph. 2:8-9)
"But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares righteous the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness. Likewise, David also speaks of the blessing of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: How happy those whose lawless acts are forgiven and whose sins are covered! How happy the man whom the Lord will never charge with sin!" (Rom. 4:5-8)
"But now, apart from the law, God's righteousness has been revealed—attested by the Law and the Prophets —that is, God's righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented Him as a propitiation through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. He presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be righteous and declare righteous the one who has faith in Jesus. Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law of faith. For we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law." (Rom. 3:21-28)
"But when the goodness and love for man appeared from God our Savior, He saved us — not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This [Spirit] He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:4-7)
"In the same way, then, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace. Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace." (Rom. 11:5-6)
"'Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.'
Then they asked him, 'What must we do to do the works God requires?'
Jesus answered, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the one He has sent.'" (John 6:27-29)
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life." (John 5:24)
"yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified. But if, while seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves are also found to be sinners, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not! If I rebuild those things that I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker. For through the law I have died to the law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing." (Gal. 2:16-21)
"More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God based on faith." (Phil. 3:8-9)
"For God loved so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Anyone who believes in Him is not judged, but anyone who does not believe is already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God…. The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him." (John 3:16-18, 36)
"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn't have the Son of God does not have life. I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 John 5;11-13)

Kris Siddiqi doesn't mind when his 9-year-old son Sebastian rolls his eyes at him. He's actually come to welcome it. It's a pretty natural reaction to the jokes he tells with shocking frequency, he admits to HuffPost Canada.
"I do it so much that I've given him free rein to just say, 'Daddy, shut up,' just to stop me," he said.
Siddiqi, an actor and comedian in Toronto, says his humour doesn't align with the typical dad joke, an elaborate construction usually predicated on a groan-inducing pun, a double entendre, or a deliberate misunderstanding of something with an entirely obvious meaning. ("Why couldn't the bicycle stand up by itself? It was two tired" is a classic. Or, "I'll call you later." "Don't call me later, call me Dad.")
Instead, Siddiqi likes to concoct elaborate and obviously false lies to tell his son: when he's asked what's for dinner, for example, he'll go on a long diatribe about how he needs his help because he's making a turkey dinner, and baking his own bread, and bringing in a new oven. When Sebastian asks if his mom is home, he'll say no, she left, she didn't want to be in the family anymore, she got on a bus, she's gone.
"I can just hone my dad sense in on my child and overwhelm him with all my stupidity, so he keeps going, 'Daddy, shut up.'"
The tradition was passed down from his own father, he said. "I learned from my dad to just kind of be annoying."
Dad humour is a bonafide cultural phenomenon, to the point that it's spawned websites and Twitter accounts. According to Jure Gantar, who teaches theory of comedy at Dalhousie University, dad jokes serve the twin functions of inflating dad's ego while also being self-deprecating.
A dad joke "has no external purpose of its own than to show dad's linguistic competence," Gantar told HuffPost Canada. "Father jokes are typically demonstrating that someone else's language is imprecise, or that there is ambiguity."
But the cultural understanding that dad joke are dorky also negates that demonstration of skill. The dad who tells a dad joke is willingly inserting himself into the sitcom trope of the bumbling, incompetent dad, something Gantar says goes back to "the useless fathers of Roman comedy." But that self-deprecation is also endearing — and because the target of the joke is his own un-coolness, he's making is safe for everybody to laugh with him, and doesn't risk alienating or offending anyone. "Self-deprecating humour is the safest humour," he says.
For Siddiqi's family, like many others, groaning at Dad's humour is part of what's fun. "No one really hates dad jokes," he said. "We roll our eyes at it, but we also really love it."
And that can be a bonding experience, Gantar said. "It can re-establish family, and collective identity, when everybody groans at the same time."
Siddiqi comes from a big family, and he said that seeing his dad joke around at home — something he rarely saw him do in the outside world — was formative.
"I think that's a lot of how our humour is formed, through our fathers," he said.
"We don't have a connection with our fathers the way we do with our mothers. I think a father's way to connect with his child is through that life-learned humility. It's being able to joke, being able to not take things too seriously."
That was the case for him, he said.
"My dad was really big and silly at home, but he never really was outside. He was a conservative Pakistani man who moved to Toronto in the early '70s, and worked for the Ministry of Finance, so he was always wearing a suit and tie. But when he came home he was very jovial, and played around with us, and joked."
He feels like his own son is picking up on comedy cues from his own ridiculous stories. "He gets sarcasm really well, I think because of that."
Gantar is a father too, and he said he frequently communicates with his kids through dad jokes as well.
He repeated one he recently told his daughter, but asked that it not be included, as it was too embarrassingly bad, he said. But he doesn't plan to stop telling them any time soon.

A River Keeper Says,"To Know the Water is to be on the Water."
Friday, March 1, 2013
Montgomery County, Md
By: Ann Smith
Part of a Series on Montgomery County, Md's Watershed Groups.
It is a reasonable request to preserve watersheds. A watershed controls water flow from its source to its final destination. It is a drainage slope. From The Eastern part of the United States, water drains down towards sea level, the Atlantic Ocean. In Maryland, water meets the Chesapeake Bay before it reaches the ocean. The Chesapeake Bay receives fresh water from land, and salt water from the ocean. The water is brackish, and creates an estuary with high levels of nutrients in the water. http://www.chesapeakebay.net is a good site for finding current issues with the Chesapeake Bay.
I love to be by the water near my house. I take my cat Sebastian and my dog Cosita with me every week. The water near my house is a creek in the woods. It is a small tributary that connects to Middle Seneca Creek.
The trees have their bark removed around the edges, and the pipes from the neighborhood have created these excavation tunnels leading to the creek. There is little undergrowth, and there are lots of fallen trees with no smaller trees growing to replace them.
I don't know what a maintained creek should look like, but I know this one needs help. I felt the need to learn more, so I contacted the Montgomery County DEP. Ana Arriaza is a watershed coordinator for Great Seneca Creek. She sent me a study that was done in 1999 called Great Seneca Creek Watershed Study May 25, 2999 by Keith Van Ness. http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dectmpl.asp?url=/content/dep/water/sub_greatseneca.asp
I was invited to a stakeholders meeting for the Seneca Creek Watershed Partners by Meo Curtis. The group is forming as the Western Watershed Alliance in Montgomery County. The creek consists of five large geographic areas: Upper Great Seneca Creek in Damascus, Middle Great Seneca Creek in Gaithersburg and Germantown, Little Seneca Creek and Ten Mile Creek in Clarksburg, Lower Seneca Creek in Western Potomac at Dawsonville, and Dry Seneca Creek in Poolesville.
Until recently, most of this part of the county was agricultural. Ten Mile Creek is the cleanest water system within Seneca Creek.
Timing is important. Now is a good time to improve the watershed. At the end of the last century, research showed that Maryland has done a great job moving the water out of neighborhoods and into the creeks. I guess you could call them flood zones. Currently everything flows into the flood zones. We have a lot of impervious ground that adds to the flooding. The water does move! It takes everything with it; trash, nutrients, fish, rocks etc.., and now we have lots of fresh water creeks that bring the "stuff" down to the bay at a faster rate than ever before.
The new objective is to slow the runoff down, and let the water soak into the soil, where plant roots can take up the nutrients and take out pollutants. As we connect to people within our watershed by practicing methods that slow the runoff, we are creating a culture around a template that already exists. It is not political, or wealth driven, or driven by cars. We have been given instructions on how to revive the Chesapeake Bay via preserving our local water. The movement is like a ripple on water.
At first, clean-ups emphasized the watersheds on the eastern shore, and then the Anacostia and Patuxent watersheds. Great Seneca Creek is part of the Potomac Watershed. The ripple has moved out and we now have to improve our watershed.
All the people in Maryland are working together to preserve water. We use it every day!
As educators, accountants, scientists, kayakers, stream stewards and fisherman, we advocate for preserving Great Seneca Creek for future generations. Find your watershed on a county map, and sign up for the alliance near you. Jack Cochran from the Isaac Walton League and Paul Hlavinka from Muddy Branch Alliance have started a shared calendar for Great Seneca Creek, Muddy Branch, and Watts Branch. We share a similar logo with Little Falls Watershed. Local events are posted on Calendars weekly. Take a look.

I have now been living in Berlin for almost three months, but still I haven't really eaten German food. When me and my colleagues go for lunch we often try to eat as cheap as possible and we also work next to a Lidl where you can find something to fill the whole in your stomach for almost nothing at all. I have tried the Döner, and actually find it quite embarrassing when I think about have many times I've eaten it here, but honestly: 'Döner im Brot' might be my absolute favourite fast food. When you buy a Döner/Kebab in Sweden you always feel a bit nervous about getting food poisoned since the food often looks really greasy and un fresh. Here in Berlin on the other hand I think that it looks fresh 90% of the times, and I think that the main reason is because: everybody buys it, meaning that you will never have to think that "maybe these vegetables are old". I still haven't been to the famous "Mustafas Gemüse Kebap" which is supposed to be amazing, but since I also heard that you often have to queue for at least 45 minutes I might just wait until the weather gets warmer again ;-)
So, back to this thing about typical German food that I wrote about some weeks ago. I still haven't really explored the German kitchen, and I still feel like this is something I have to do, while living in Berlin. However, since my last post about German food I have been out to eat Wienerschnitzel at a place/restaurant next to my work. The place is called Scheers Schnitzel and is located near the U-Waschauer straße. Since this was my first wienerschnitzel ever I didn't really know what to expect, and I actually thought I wouldn't like it (I have always said "why would you like to eat meat that is so flat and dry?"). But I was wrong – the Wienerschnitzel was really tasty and I've actually been there twice now. Still, I don't really have anything to compare it with so maybe it is possible to get a lot better Wienerschnitzel here in Berlin.
For me it is quite unusual to go to a restaurant and order (more or less) only meat. Actually, I don't think I have ever had that big piece of meat in just one dish before… The first time I went to Scheers Schnitzel I hade something called 'Wiener Schnitzel brot' which was exactly what it sounds like: a piece of meat in bread with remoulade (optional) and cheese. The second time I went there I had 'Wiener schnitzel mit kartoffelsalat"(potato salad). One thing that I really like about this place is that they start preparing the food after you've ordered, meaning that it is always 100% fresh. Further, there was lots of sauces that you could eat with your dish (I love sauce).
'Wiener Schnitzel brot' at Scheert Schnitzel
So now to my question:
Has anybody tried a really great Wiener Schnitzel here in Berlin?, or knows about a German restaurant that I just "have to go to"?, or maybe want to recommend me his/her favorite German dish that I should try?

A few weeks have passed since Google's long awaited and much speculated Penguin 2.0 update, and with the dust beginning to settle, we took a look at its impact in the UK.
There's been no shortage of hype in the run-up to Penguin 2.0, with everybody's favourite Google spokesperson and distinguished engineer Matt Cutts describing the forthcoming update as 'a big one' back in March.

Harrods is famed for its wonderful windows, which makes it hard for the store to exceed Christmas expectations every year. But I am totally charmed by this year's theme: The Land of Make Believe.
It features a very cute mouse, Peter Pumpernickel, dressed in a waistcoat, a green 18th Century jacket and a fez, who is too small to help the other mice assist Santa. Santa notices and gives Peter a special job tweaking one of the white exterior lights on Harrods' exterior as it begins to snow on Christmas night. See a video here.
Each window features named-designers' party merchandise, set in scenes featuring traditional toys, and linked by the mouse, with backdrops of birch trees, ice-blue skies, and snowdrifts. Including a teddy bear, a merry-go-round, a jack-in-the box, toy soldiers, a rotating ballerina, and Santa with galloping reindeer, the windows contain lots to examine, and yet clearly showcase the merchandise. Each window features a mouse, as here on a clock with perfume bottles neatly ringing the numerals, the mouse hanging from the minute hand.
The mouse is dressed in Harrods-green trimmed with gold, and an entire mouse microcosm fills the small Tiffany windows, but more of those another time. Let's just focus on the large windows for a moment.
Harrods is rightly famous for its Harrods embroidered-paw teddy bear and this giant version is comfortably seated on a pile of evergreens and surrounded by toys. Note the 'made in England' logo on his paw: this bear is proud to be English. Here the mouse stands in the snow conversing with a fox and a rabbit in a Kenneth Grahame-style wild wood.
The mouse and his equally diminutive lady friend admire the twirling ballerina in a jewellery box reminiscent of a child's music box, festooned with pearl necklaces. Note how the mirror-backed jewellery box reflects the figure, doubling the visual interest. With a limited colour palette under ice-blue lighting, the textures of the icicles, the feathered dress, and the shiny pearls hold our attention.
Stella McCartney's cream evening dress appears on a graceful marionette, whose arms gently move. Seen amidst a birch forest in deep snow, rather like Hansel and Gretel or the perhaps the Sleeping Beauty the mouse, occupied in knitting, sits on a moving rocking chair at the side of the window.
I was particularly charmed that the mouse is animated too.
Tom Brown's toy soldiers are also animated, and very cleverly so. Each of the 4 figures turns, but independently, stopping and starting somewhat unexpectedly.
Carrying parcels, the toy soldiers wear Tom Brown's signature cropped-leg suits, each topped with a slightly over-sized bowler hat adorned with stags' antlers.
This shallow, closed-back window is perhaps excessively blue, and conveys the atmosphere of a cool, trendy, night-club: the likely location in which the suits will be worn.
A lovely full-sized rocking horse covered in patchwork fabric completely fills the adjacent window. The horse, by multi-fabric patchwork furniture and accessories retailer Squint, is a delight and available made to order. A Squint mirror and a multi-colour chandelier are neatly lodged in the birch trees.
A close-up of the rocking horse's beautifully plaited mane.
A giant merry-go round, its lower part slowly turning for the benefit of the mice perched on the edge, fills an open-backed window. Replacing horses, three white unicorns carry a range of small leather goods.
A beautifully inlaid, wooden veneer, Linley jack-in-the-box, the jacket and the mask of the 'jack' by Matthew Williamson features in the final window. Harrod's Christmas display masterfully treads that narrow line between creating a spectacle and selling merchandise, and selling merchandise is what VM does. A very professional, perfectly executed end result.
Very lastly, a suspended, floating Santa in his sleigh drawn by pairs of animated galloping reindeer fills an entire window without any merchandise on the corner nearest the tube exit. It is well worth a visit to see this for yourself.

It's here to stay, it's not going anywhere.
Get wise and get familiar with cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency — what is it?
Cryptocurrency is money that exists in a digital or virtual state rather than in physical form. You can't literally touch cryptocurrency like you can with modern-day currency. It uses cryptography to secure and verify each and every transaction. This is done to control the amount of new units of a particular cryptocurrency being created.
My 2nd Blog Post on Cryptocurrency
If you read my last post on cryptocurrency, you'll remember me writing that XRP was at around sixty-three cents per units. Well, it has since dropped to more than half that. In fact, as of right now as I write this XRP is at thirty-one cents. This may have scared off a few people into selling ALL their units but most stuck to their guns (like me) and held on. In fact, I even purchased twice as much as I did the first time around.
XRP wasn't the only cryptocurrency that got hit, in fact, some cryptocurrencies went belly up. "What happen?" you might wonder. I'll tell you.
Bitcoin Gold got hacked. Millions of dollars were either lost and/or stolen.
The whole cryptocurrency community was shattered. Some scared off.
Yes, it happens. Not very often, but it happens.
But you know what…?
The way I look at it, banks get robbed too.
Why Ripple (XRP)?
If the company, Ripple, goes "out-of-business", XRP will still be in the cryptocurrency world. I don't think that's going to happen, but it's nice to know.
How do I know?
All it takes is one transaction experience for someone to realize the superiority of XRP over a dinosaur like Bitcoin.
Look into it for yourself, do the research. You will see that XRP isn't going anywhere.
I also purchased some Dogecoin.
I looked around the cryptocurrency market at CoinMarketCap.Com and checked out the top 30 cryptocurrencies. I decided to start at the bottom and work my way up when I noticed a cryptocurrency well below the #30 spot.
It stuck out, I suppose, so I clicked on it and read up on it.
Okay…I liked it. Let's move on.
I checked on about another four or five cryptocurrencies, but Dogecoin just kept popping in my mind.
So I went back and read up a little more.
I even watched a video of the creator of Dogecoin, Jackson Palmer, and liked what he had to say. His story reminded me a little bit of how the BEASTIE BOYS got started and their break-through album released on November 15, 1986 by Def Jam, LICENSE TO ILL.
And yes, I'm a Beastie Boy fan so I decided to go for it and purchased as much Dogecoin I could afford.

As the epicenter of the nervous system, the brain is a complex and fascinating organ. Our brains are the engines that drive our bodies to process information and communicate with the world. Scientists today are making groundbreaking strides in understanding the intricate circuitry in the brain that sends signals to various parts of the body, and how this knowledge can be used to repair or regenerate damaged cells. In this April 2, 2013, seminar, a panel of Harvard Medical School faculty members whose research explores neural circuitry will discuss this fast-evolving field.

Quotes that influence thoughts and stimulate ones call to a higher purpose. Remember the historical context of who we are, where we have been, and where we are going.
Personal quotes & Creeds to live by
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Exceptthe Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And – which is more – you'll be a Man, my son!
Business, risk and its role in the World Order.
The return of peacetime has heralded an opportunity to apply the lessons learned so painfully during the long years of depression and war. Perhaps the dreams of Enlightenment and the Victorian age might, at last, come true for all members of the human race. Keynesian economics was enlisted as a means of controlling the business cycle and promoting full employment. The aim of the Bretton Woods Agreement aw to recapture the stability f the nineteenth-century gold standard. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were set up to nourish economic progress among disadvantaged people around the world. Meanwhile, the United Nations would keep peace among nations.Against the God- Peter Bernstein pg. 246
In this environment, the Victorian concept t rational behavior regained its former popularity. Measurement always dominates intuition: rational people make choices on the basis of information rather than on the basis of whim, motion or habit. Once they have analyzed all the available information, they make decisions in accord with well-defined preferences. They prefer more wealth to less and strive to maximize utility. But they are also risk-averse in the Bernooullian sense that the utility of additional wealth is inversely related to the amount already possessed.
With the concept of rationality so well defined and so broadly accepted in an intellectual circle, its transformation into rules for governing risk and maximum utility was bound to influence the world of investing and managing wealth. The setting was perfect.
The achievements that followed rough Nobel prizes to gifted
scholars,and the definition of risk and the practical application that emerged from those achievements revolutionized investment management, the structure, of markets, the instruments, used by investors, and the behavior, of the millions of people who keep the system working.

When it comes to security and privacy, data seems to be the most valuable commodity. On a routine basis, news come through that data might have been compromised, stolen or otherwise and they all build into what creates a vacuum of fear around the idea of storing data online. This is something which is very often discussed in the Android world due to the nature of Android. Well, the latest news is now coming in from T-mobile which advises that T-Mobile, more specifically, a number of their customers, might have had their data compromised.
T-Mobile CEO, John Legere, who is often known for his honesty when calling out other carriers, seems to be one who has broken the news today of the possible T-Mobile data breach. Legere did this through an open letter he posted online which looks to explain the situation. According to the details, credit consumer agency, Experian, has suffered a data breach. Where T-mobile comes in, is that the data breach in question was one on a particular server. A server which also happens to contain a significant amount of T-Mobile data. This is due to Experian being one of the companies T-Mobile uses to carry out their credit checks and so on.
As such, Legere has advised that as many as 15 million T-Mobile customers may have seen their data compromised in the hack. Data which could have been obtained is said to include, customer names, addresses, birthdays and also data which is considered to be more encrypted like Social Security numbers. However, Legere also advises that extremely sensitive information like bank account and credit card details were not affected. Some of the data will have been for new customers who had to go through a credit check when looking to join T-Mobile and Legere specifically notes between the dates of September 1st 2013 and September 16th 2015. The posting goes on to detail that T-Mobile and Experian are doing all they can to assess the situation and also improve the protection of data. Those interested in knowing more or worried they could have been affected can read the Legere open letter in full by clicking here.

Capt. Jeffrey Maclay, USN, commanding officer of NAS Jacksonville, was awarded the Scroll of Honor by the St. Augustine Council of the Navy League of the United States.
The awards ceremony, conducted last month at the Marsh Creek Country Club, was a highlight of the league's annual Christmas celebration. The scroll is the highest award bestowed by a local Navy League Council and the second highest Navy League award at any level.
Maclay received his honor from outgoing council president Bill Korach. Bill Dudley, league Florida regional president, assisted.
Maclay was recognized for his expansion of the Individual Augmentee (IA) honors program that was inaugurated with the St. Augustine Navy League's Bill Dudley, first held at NAS Jax and has, to date, welcomed home from combat assignments 691 returning service personnel and their 291 spouses.
Maclay, it was noted, also continues to include the St. Augustine league members in the NAS Jacksonville salute to fallen heroes. The program accords full-base, curbside honors when the remains of deceased combat members are flown to NAS for transfer tot heir final resting place.
Macclay has also facilitated the St. Augustine league's recruiting program with distinctive events of welcome at NAS Jax, it was noted.
Among those attending the Dec. 16 ceremony were Capt. Joseph Baker, USCG, commanding officer of USCG Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron and fleet logistics support Squadron Five Eight; Master Chief Don Carr, USN, honored at Maclay's most recent IA celebration at NAS Jax.; First Sgt. Dan Jonas, USMC, Blount Island Support Facility; Command Mater Chief Matt Boyd, USCG (HITRON); and Command Master Chief Ken Morris, USCG, Sector Jacksonville, Mayport.
New officers
A second highlight was installation of the new league officers.: Kevin Gregory is the new president, a retired Navy senior chief who served as a rescue swimmer in the carrier-based helicopter warfare community. He received his president's pin from his wife, Lynn.
Other officers are: Mike Zollar, vice president military affairs; Anita Proffit, secretary; John Mountcastle, treasurer; Bill Hamm, vice president youth affairs; Lee Figliuolo, Don Carragher, Claude Caviness, Boyd Guttery, Ed Ferrall, Bruce Hall, Bill Korach, Nick Marziani, Herman Mehling, Richard Roth, Dr. Dean smith, Jana Teehan and Jim Woods, directors.

The Destination Development Association has a plethora of resources to inspire and empower local stakeholders and local organizations with their efforts to becoming vibrant, sustainable, and thriving destinations that will attract new investment, are fantastic places to live, and that visitors will gravitate to every chance they get. One of the resources is easy to watch and digest how-to videos and accompanying guides on every place-making, tourism, downtown, and economic development topic you can imagine. As a courtesy to our tourism partners, the Tourism Grant Program is happy to host a Wednesday Webinar Series on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Please register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8982407870014068237 if your entity or organization is interested in community efforts to become vibrant, sustainable, and thriving destinations.
Eligible entities cannot use funds as a pass-through for ineligible entities, which include for-profit businesses, individuals, subsidiaries of a non-profit, and other State or Federal agencies. Eligible entities must be in good standing with the IRS and the entity or organization information must match the filed Tax I.D. or, for a 501(c), the most recently filed Form 990-N. Eligible entities are limited to one application for one proposed project per funding cycle.
The asset/proposed project must be owned by the entity applying for the grant or the applicant must have a long-term lease with automatic renewal in place with the owner [such as for placing or constructing an asset on leased land or a project that is within a facility that is rented]. If a non-profit is considering submitting an application where the asset or land where asset is constructed is owned or co-owned by a City or County or Tribal government, it is recommended that the City or County or Tribe be a co-applicant.
Qualified applicants must demonstrate a cash match of actual and committed money invested in the proposed project. The cash match is $1 applicant to $2 award. For example: if the project costs $9000 to complete, an applicant requesting $6,000 grant award must demonstrate they have $3,000 committed to the completion of the project as match. In-kind services, in-kind labor, and/or volunteer hours cannot count as applicant match.
Tourism Grant funds can only be requested for actual project and activity related costs. Examples of ineligible project costs include but are not limited to: workshops and training; market research or feasibility studies; staff costs including wages, travel, per diem; administrative, overhead, or indirect costs; office supplies; promotional items; subscriptions or membership costs; domain registration and website hosting; social media posts or press releases; routine operation and maintenance costs.
The Tourism Grant Program is not intended to be a sustainable source of funds. A key component of a successful application to the Tourism Grant Program is for the applicant to demonstrate the proposed project has the support of community and tourism partners. These partnerships build sustainability and assist with destination marketing upon successful completion of the project. The amount and frequency of previous grants to an eligible entity will be taken into consideration and may affect the success and/or amount of subsequent potential awards.
Applications are accepted via an online platform beginning July 1st of each fiscal year. The application window closes at 5 pm MST on September 30th of each fiscal year. The typical timeline looks like:
Applications are evaluated by a review team comprised of three staff in the Industry Services & Outreach Bureau, a staff member with the Office of Indian Country Economic Development, a staff member with the Community Development Division, and at least one board member of the Tourism Advisory Council. Applications are reviewed by how well the applicant would market the proposed project upon completion to measure the impact to non-resident visitors; proposed projects that are identified by the community as key tourism development projects in a community, strategic, or tourism/recreational plan; and proposed projects that are supported by tourism and community partners. Other factors that may affect the success of an application or the amount of a potential award is the frequency of previous grants to an organization/entity or the amount of previous grants to a community. A high-level of concentration is also given to rural communities, under-served regions of Montana, and to tribal communities.
Approximately $750,000 is awarded annually through the Tourism Grant Program. Since 1995, over $11.4 million dollars has been awarded to 456 tourism and recreation related projects resulting in a positive economic benefit for communities throughout Montana.
The Tourism Grant Program awards funds to projects that strengthen Montana's economy through the development and enhancement of the State's tourism and recreation industry. Funds are awarded annually to projects that develop and enhance tourism and recreation products that have the potential to increase non-resident visitation.
The Tourism Grant Program is funded by the 4% Lodging Facility Use Tax; commonly known as the "Bed Tax". Enacted by the 1987 Legislature, the Bed Tax is collected from guests of hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, guest ranches, resorts, and campgrounds. Distribution of these funds looks like:
Of the 61.7% collected bed tax distributed to the Montana Office of Tourism and Business Development, approximately $750,000 is awarded annually through the Tourism Grant Program. We encourage interested eligible entities to subscribe to receive email updates from the Department of Commerce for future and other funding opportunities as these become available.

- Description:
Although there is abundant literature on the analysis of SDHI, most research approaches are based on limited risk factor analyses and other reductionistic linear behavioral and biological perspectives. The advance of 'complexity science' and 'systems thinking' across a broad range of practices and tools (e.g., system dynamics, network analysis, and agent-based modeling) allows one to consider the causes and solutions for complex challenges such as obesity and addiction, which follow complex systems characteristics such as nonlinearity, feedback loops, or chaotic behavior.
Introduces a novel transdisciplinary approach on Social Determinants of Health Inequities (SDHI). Provides an in-depth understanding of macro, meso and micro levels, all of which generate health inequities. Prepares students to examine the changes, causes, and potential policies to address systemic public health and equity-related subjects and the complex interactions between biology, behaviors, society and politics. Integrates a broad range of disciplines, 'systems thinking' practices, and methodological pluralism. Reviews research advances, including explanatory case studies and the evaluation of policies and interventions to reduce health inequities.
- Learning Objectives:
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- Identify and critically analyze some limitations of mainstream Public Health Research
- Review causalities in SDHI research identifying a complex systems thinking approach across a broad range of disciplines and tools
- Describe the usefulness of a complex systems research paradigm for the monitoring, implementation, and evaluation of policies to reduce health inequities
- Describe key issues on SDHI (e.g., politics, social class, precariousness, geography) under a transdisciplinary systemic research approach
- Methods of Assessment:
Class participation in topic debates (30%); group oral presentation (30%); individual position paper (40%)
- Enrollment Restriction:
undergraduate and interdivisional students are not permitted in this section

Credit and Appreciation go to: Meredith Benton Photography
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Lathanual's grin is worth a million bucks. It's not often that a teenager's personality comes across the camera lens this easily, but Lathanual is a 14-year-old you want to meet. He has been working hard to find ways to communicate and making progress on dealing with the emotions he feels (like a lot of teenaged boys). Lathanual could use some loving attention, one on one, in a two-parent household that can devote the time to help him grow. Given the obstacles he's making progress to overcome, a home where he's the only child would be ideal for him to really flourish. Many of us might recall what it's like to be a teenager. Life is uncertain, the world can be scary. If you think you could offer some stability, structure, and sense of belonging, consider Lathanual.

Topic Page: Sigismund
(sĭj'ĭsmӘnd, sĭg'–), 1368–1437, Holy Roman emperor (1433–37), German king (1410–37), king of Hungary (1387–1437) and of Bohemia (1419–37), elector of Brandenburg (1376–1415), son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV.
Through his marriage to Mary, who became queen of Hungary in 1382, Sigismund acceded to the Hungarian throne. However, dynastic conflicts there prevented his coronation until 1387. In the interim Mary was deposed, and Charles II (Charles III, king of Naples) became king (1385). Following Charles's death (1386) Mary was restored, and Sigismund came to power. During this period the Ottomans (Turks) were advancing in Europe, and in 1395 they invaded Hungary. Sigismund led a general European crusade against them but was crushingly defeated in 1396 by Sultan Beyazid I at Nikopol. Sigismund's absence and the death of Mary (1395) had weakened his hold on the Hungarian throne. In 1403 he put down a revolt in Hungary in support of Lancelot of Naples, the son of Charles II.
After the death of the German king and uncrowned Holy Roman Emperor Rupert in 1410, both Sigismund and his cousin, Jobst of Moravia, claimed victory in the imperial elections. Since Sigismund's half-brother Wenceslaus, who had been deposed from the German throne in 1400, had never waived his title, there were, for a time, three rulers of Germany. The death of Jobst (1411) and the withdrawal of Wenceslaus left Sigismund sole king and Holy Roman emperor-elect.
One of Sigismund's first tasks was to end the Great Schism in the church. He persuaded John XXIII (see Cossa, Baldassare), the strongest of the three schismatic popes, to summon a council at Konstanz (or Constance, see Constance, Council of). After three years of deliberation by the council, the schism was ended (1417). John Huss, the Czech religious reformer, had attended the council with Sigismund's guarantee of safe conduct, but, nevertheless, the council began heresy proceedings against him and condemned him to death. Sigismund signed his death sentence.
The burning of Huss hastened the Reformation in Bohemia and earned Sigismund the lasting hatred of the Czechs. When Sigismund succeeded to the Bohemian throne on his brother Wenceslaus's death (1419), he was bitterly opposed. To secure an army against the rebellious Bohemians, Sigismund convinced Pope Martin V to proclaim (Mar., 1420) a crusade against the Hussites. He had himself crowned king of Bohemia at Prague but was defeated by the Hussites under John Zizka and withdrew. In 1421 a Czech assembly declared him deposed, and shortly afterward the Hussites began their incursions into Germany (see Hussite Wars). Renewed attacks by the Turks occupied Sigismund in Hungary, while in Germany and Bohemia the Hussites continued to be victorious, defeating a new crusade (1431) against them.
Negotiations to heal the breach in the church were held at the Council of Basel (see Basel, Council of) and resulted in compromise with the drafting of the Compactata. The religious agreement opened the way to Sigismund's acceptance as king by the Bohemians in 1436. Shortly afterward, Sigismund died.
Sigismund was the last emperor of the Luxemburg dynasty. He arranged for the succession to his titles by his son-in-law, Albert of Austria (later King Albert II). Sigismund had earlier transferred Brandenburg to Frederick of Hohenzollern (Frederick I of Brandenburg) as a reward for his support in Sigismund's election as emperor.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for "Battles Won and Lost," the Season 3 finale of Supergirl.
Supergirl's new villain wears a very familiar face: her own. In "Battles Won and Lost," the Season 3 finale, Kara used the Rock of Yuda Kal to help Sam Arias defeat her alter ego Reign. However, the Rock's use led to an unintended consequence: the birth of Dark Supergirl.
During the final showdown between Team Supergirl and Reign, the Worldkiller managed to get Kara in a headlock. In response, Kara called for Mon-El to toss her the Rock of Yuda Kal. She pressed it into Reign's hand and called for Sam to join them. With all three hands on the Rock, they were transported into their subconscious, where Sam was able to put an end to Reign once and for all.
RELATED: Supergirl: [SPOILER] Joins the Legion of Super-Heroes
Although Team Supergirl was ultimately successful in their mission, they didn't realize the Rock had split a part of Kara away from herself, in much the same way they used it to split Reign from Sam. The tag at the end of the episode jumped from Kara's studio to Siberia, where a group of Russian soldiers were shocked to discover a figure walking towards them through a snow storm. When the figure came into focus, it was Supergirl, naked but for the black cloak wrapped around her shoulders. The fact that the Rock of Yuda Kal created this Supergirl doppelganger implies that it may secretly be Black Kryptonite.
In the comics, a dark version of Supergirl debuted in 2005's Supergirl #3 when the Girl of Steel was subjected to a ray of Black Kryptonite. Instead of corrupting Supergirl, it created a doppelganger of her based on the original's subconscious. This dark version of Supergirl -- who wore a black costume -- inherited warped memories, leading her to believe that her father had sent her to Earth to kill Superman. With a little help from Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth, Kara was ultimately able to reabsorb her evil twin. Doctor Fate believed Dark Supergirl was a manifestation of Kara's survivor guilt and PTSD.

This won't be the first time The CW's Supergirl fought off an evil doppelganger. In "Crisis on Earth-X," this past season's four-show Arrowverse crossover, Kara went toe-to-toe with a version of herself called Overgirl, who hailed from Earth-X. Raised in a world where the Nazis won World War II, Overgirl hoped to conquer the multiverse with her husband Oliver Queen, aka Dark Archer. Overgirl eventually exploded due to solar poisoning.
Returning to The CW this fall, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as the Girl of Steel, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers and Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott, with appearances by Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant and Tyler Hoechlin as Superman.

Hibiscus Question
We have several hardy hibiscus. This is the third summer for them. They begin blooming in July with large (6-8 inch) flowers. But by mid August each of the flower buds dries up and turns brown before opening. The leaves sometimes have holes in them. I have found small green caterpillars, so I usually spray the plants with Diazinine once a week. We live in the Texas Panhandle. The highs each day is 80-90 and the lows are in the 60s. The plants get 6 hours sun. I have tried watering both every other day and every fourth day to see if that helps. We are using a red mulch with Preen weed killer in it. Do you know what is keeping the flowers from opening?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
They normally drop flowers during hot weather due to lack of water. While you are watering, it may not be penetrating the mulch to the roots below. Mulch can actually repel water sometimes, so check the soil below to make sure that the water did actually get through. Water deeply as well. Fertilizing while they are in bloom can also cause the buds to fall off. So, avoid that as well.

Summer is here! For some of you, that means your calendar and routines have changed a bit. For us here at Aldersgate, our Sunday worship times have shifted to only two experiences – 9:30 and 11:00 am. We believe this will allow us to come together and worship in greater community. Kids will have their own worship experiences during both times as well.
Throughout scripture, we are reminded of the importance of giving back a portion of what God has so generously provided. His Word tells us that giving is an act of worship that should be done with a spirit of thanksgiving. Our heart at Aldersgate is to be extravagantly generous. So much so that we pledge to use two-thirds of all the resources God blesses us with outside the walls of the church building. Here's how you can give and contribute to that extravagant generosity:
On Sunday morning, during any service, you can put your cash or check in the black boxes located at the doors to the Worship Center.
After a first-time setup, donating is as easy as sending a text!
You can always give by mailing cash or check, or by dropping off your gift at the Main Office during business hours (M-F 8am-5pm).
Mailing Address: 10306 Indiana Ave, Lubbock, TX 79423
An endowment fund is a permanent fund that exists to provide long term support to the ministries and mission of the church. If you would like to give to the Endowment Fund, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
