text: Spontaneous sweats, headaches, full body tension... These are only a few of the many symptoms that comprise anxiety. Today, over 40 million Americans are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and what is worse is that the number of undiagnosed people who suffer from anxiety is much higher. While it is common to think that medication is the answer to your anxious symptoms, in reality, it only masks the surface signs of your anxiety and never treats the root causes. Will you get short-term relief from pharmaceuticals? Most likely. However, there is nothing empowering about a pill, and your anxiety will always be there haunting you until you start to deal with it in a healthy and confident way. As a young woman who suffered from a decade-long, severe and chronic anxiety disorder, I, too, believed that medication was the only "cure" for me. When I started incorporating the following practices into my daily routine, though, I saw dramatic results and a significant decrease in my anxiety. Admission, affirmation, meditation and prayer all gave me what no drug ever could, an overwhelming sense of empowerment and true healing for my disorder.

'The Keto Clan Big Breakie'
This has to be one of the yummiest breakfast my hubby has made for me, every mouthful was just heaven. It's also the perfect breakfast if your cooking for guests.
It is best to cook this recipe in a cast iron pot that has a lid, but if you don't have one of those any large saucepan with top will do. Also adding Spinach and Chorizo sausage for a bit of spice into this recipe is fantastic and i would strongly recommend trying it.

3 g Basil (Fresh or Dried)
3 g Parsley (Fresh or Dried)
20 g Organic Butter
30 g Butter Mushrooms
Salt & Pepper to taste
1. Dice and then cook bacon and onion in the butter.
2. While that is cooking, Dice your tomato & mushrooms and grate your Cheese. Also dice your herbs.
3. Add your mushrooms to the onion and bacon let this saute for several minutes.
4. Add tomato, basil, and parsley (if you choose to use spinach in this recipe this is where you would add it)
5. Crack your eggs evenly over the contents of the pan (check picture for how I did it) then sprinkle with your cheese and salt and pepper. Place your lid on and then cook for 2-5 minutes on a low heat, how long you cook the eggs honestly just depends on how you prefer your eggs.
6. Turn off the heat and enjoy!!
Note: The best way to plate this is to make sure when you add the eggs you try to group them in three sets of two eggs, this way you can slice it with a spatula and serve it like a piece of pie as the egg and the cheese would have bounded together.

Model Overview:
The Fender Powercaster is the latest original design from the company, with a shape loosely based on classic Fender offset designs and a pickup configuration that combines powerful tones with plenty of versatility. The Fender Powercaster in 3-Colour Sunburst continues Fenders legacy of innovation and forward thinking guitar building.
The unique new design of the Powercaster features and Alder body paired with a beautiful modern 'C' profile Roasted Maple neck, each of which is hand finished and hand oiled before leaving the factory. The Pau Ferro fretboard features Medium Jumbo frets and a 9.5" radius for a comfortable feel and easy lead playing. The Powercaster also features a 24.75" scale length, giving it a feel more reminiscent of a Les Paul style guitar with easier bends and a warmer overall tone due to the lower string tension.
The Fender Powercaster in 3-Colour Sunburst features a unique pickup pairing not found on other Fender models until now, with an Atomic Humbucker in the bridge and an MP-90 single coil in the neck. This results in a balanced tone that can cover a range of sounds, but certainly leans more towards higher gain playing with plenty of bite to the tone. The Fender Powercaster is finished off with a 3 Ply Parchment pickguard, adjustomatic bridge and includes a deluxe gig bag.

I took apart the power supply by sawing through the shell on the three clear edges carefully
so I could then crack it open.
After lifting out the board I removed the two screws holding the internal connector and on turning it upside down noticed that the centre pin was not isolated due to a surface mount resistor in there connecting to one of the other terminals. Follwing the idea of isolating the centre terminal, I desoldered the resistor, and bingo! the screen works perfectly now, and it is a proper fix.

camped out at cow for two days. great action. 25 fish at least. no i didn't keep a single one. most around 60 - 80 cm. they do have a no fishing from boat dock sign but they have also put in a new dock just for fishing beside the boat dock so can't blame them too much.
by BetterThenYou on Jun. 28, 2015
Seen lots of under size pile getting taken home this weekend make sure u check your regulations
by SpinnerMike on Jun. 7, 2015
Cow lake is a heavy action pike lake that can prove to be fruitful if you are able to quickly figure out what the northerns are biting on at the time. From May 15 till late June the fish bite over and over, then it slows down when the waters become too warm, till mid August. This is one of the last successful shore fishing lakes in the area, and even that much is dwindling, as the staff that run the campground on the lake have asked that people no longer fish off of their best dock, it is solely for the purpose of launching boats (brutal). In the fall the pike are fewer, but they are larger, which makes the trip just as exciting.
by SpinnerMike on Jun. 7, 2015
by jaycaption on Jun. 4, 2015
Hello fellas! Looking to go fishing this weekend and setup camp for Friday to Sunday. Any word on what to expect for shore fishing at all?

So sad. Used to love catching perch in Cow Lake. Then fish and game decided to put pike in there. Why? They eat all the trout and perch and anything else that moves. Diseased pike with big sores that I caught last year. What`s with that? UGH!! Leave the pike in the big lakes. _

text: The world is changing rapidly and it has become increasingly important to build resilience, through adaptation and transformation, to maintain the ecosystem services that watersheds provide. The importance of change agents to prepare for and navigate the transformation, as well as build resilience in the new state has been highlighted by scholars, however not in a comprehensive way, but rather as a final conclusion. This study investigates the role and perceptions of change agents around Lake Mälaren, Sweden. Through in-depth interviews, it explores incentives for change, visions, and strategies to reach those visions. The findings show that many actors without holistic and overarching governance creates dissatisfaction among change agent. Components of their visions are shared: well-functioning ecosystems that provide ecosystem services in the future, and to achieve legislated goals. Their strategy on how to reach their vision diverge: powerful political decisions and stricter steering, or changes in values and the inclusion of local knowledge of citizens. This study adds nuance to visions, highlights the importance of a common strategy and that collaboration is key to maintain the future provision of the essential ecosystem services watersheds provide.

New compact sedan BMW 1-Series will be produced in Brazil
From the beginning it was announced that the new compact model BMW 1-Series Sedan is designed exclusively for the Chinese market, but after some time it became known that the car will be offered in various markets around the world, and its serial production will be established in the Brazilian plant of the BMW Group.
According to unofficial information, at the present time BMW Group is deliberating the possibility to launch serial production of the new compact sedan BMW 1-Series at the Brazilian plant in Araquari (State of Santa Catarina). The announcement of the upcoming launch of the novelty at the Brazilian factory will be made by the company during the BMW 1-Series Sedan presentation at the Auto Show in Guangzhou (2016 Guangzhou Auto Show).
New compact sedan BMW 1-Series Sedan has received the following dimensions: length is 4456 mm, width is 1803 mm, height – 1446 mm. The size of the wheelbase is 2670 mm. The novelty is based on the UKL platform, which includes a standard front-wheel drive. It is possible that Bavarian brand will offer xDrive all-wheel drive system as an option. New sedan will go on sale in the Chinese market, where it will be available in versions 118i (136 hp), 120i (192 hp) and 125i (231 hp). Presumably, 1.5- and 2.0-liter power units will be paired with the 6- or 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Challenges of Energy Efficiency on Campus: Three Expert Viewpoints
Whether in an academic setting or in a large-scale commercial/industrial project with a large energy footprint, the challenges of convincing decision-makers with spending responsibility of the value of investing in energy efficiency strategies can be a daunting task. Though all roads lead back to cost, the pathway to developing a continuous energy efficiency mindset has been hastened over time by a variety of factors including a convincing business case; as well as policy mandates that are both intra-institutional and also spurred by progressive legislation that reaches to the federal level; and economic incentives such as Savings By Design.
We spoke with three professionals who spearhead energy efficiency initiatives in the construction programs at three such settings: Nathaniel Wilson, Campus Architect at California State University, Northridge; Todd Lynch, Principal Project Development Planner, Capital Planning and Finance at UCLA; and Carey Mcleod, Principal and Director of A. C. Martin's A/E Studio who is attached to the massive downtown Los Angeles Wilshire Grand project. Each respondent has been engaged in his respective career for twenty years or more.
The respondents were each asked a range of questions related to the challenge of implementing large-scale energy efficiency programs. Their answers are noted below.
To the question of how to overcome the major challenges of securing buy-in from leadership to achieve energy efficiency goals, Mcleod stated that understanding leaders' concerns about expenditures from first cost is critical. "It is a matter of convincing them that promoting energy efficiency is the right thing to do. We typically explain the steps involved to do what's right. Now many people are also aware of the need to reduce carbon."
At UCLA, which has an institutional energy efficiency mandate consistent with statewide UC policies, Todd Lynch offered a view of how to coordinate working with the various stakeholders. While the university's overall size presents significant challenges given the scale of energy use, there are also opportunities to make the business case. "There is the opportunity to seed the idea of energy efficiency and develop it campus-wide," he noted.
"UCLA has the scale of a small city and it is a unique lab. There are all kinds of building types. It is a great scene of innovation that places sustainability in a broader context. The greatest challenge is advocating for the best use of available funds while getting the best value. There needs to be a balance between the cost of construction and the importance of stressing high performance measures," stated Lynch.
"There is also the issue of collaboration. Pushing the team to realize solutions is important. From a mechanical sense, we try to emphasize passive solutions as a preferred approach whenever possible," Lynch noted.
Over at CSUN, Nathaniel Wilson feels fortunate to work in an environment that is very supportive of energy efficiency. "CSUN has a long history dating back to the energy crisis. Energy efficiency goals that exceed Title 24 have been stressed since that time. Early on, there was a disconnect, then people became aware, and now there is a refreshing spirit of collaboration," said Wilson.
The key to convincing leadership and colleagues of the benefits of energy efficiency is to design the building first and then demonstrate the lowered operating costs. CSUN's Student Recreation Center has basketball courts and rock climbing space that meet daylighting requirements. Wilson cited the installation of large amounts of glazing as an important facet of the building's increased life cycle potential.
At UCLA, Lynch cited system-wide support for initiatives beginning at the Governor's office. But the most important support occurs at the project level. "The team learns the best uses of resources, how to stay under budget, and meet progress goals. Having a co-generation plant on campus is also a great asset," he noted.
The Bruin campus is continually growing with more people concentrated in the same amount of land, he said. "The upside is the reduction in transportation but the energy demands continue to increase with state of the art labs and new building structures that are very energy efficient and improve space utilization," Lynch said.
Mcleod said the keys to leadership buy-in at Wilshire Grand is his team emphasizing the long-term cost benefit of energy efficiency, and the advantages of participating in programs that offer sizable incentives and rebates. In the private sector, there is the expectation of a three-five year return on investment, whereas the expectation of a fifteen-year payback is prevalent in public projects.
Tenant incentives are also a good selling strategy. "If you can convince people that your building is more efficient that the building next door, then you have an advantage."
The climate of acceptance has generally changed. "People have become much more aware of the increasing cost of energy and the diminishing availability to water. At Wilshire Grand, we also emphasize the need to look far ahead and take the long view," he noted.
At CSUN, students' attitudes have influenced acceptance. "They are so aware of the issues associated with climate change. Non-sustainability classes in industry-related fields are typically under-enrolled. Cutting edge speakers are brought to campus to discuss the issues and students get hands-on training in real time work through campus academic departments, noted Wilson."
At UCLA, the pressure to stay competitive is intense. "The push to go beyond minimum efficiency standards is getting stronger all of the time. As Title 24 becomes more stringent, the team is pushed even further. The bar is raised each year at a graduated rate: 35% higher than Title 24 in 2016, 50% by 2021," according to Lynch. Benchmarks, measurement and verification, and energy optimization are all part of the language that surrounds projects.
And how do projects operate with common goals in mind? At CSUN, Wilson noted the collaboration of the engineering team on a solar hot water system using photovoltaics. Glumac was called in as an outside consultant and worked with the campus team. That activity yielded creative ideas about smart energy monitoring. "Savings By Design encourages peer review and the opportunity to go through a blue sky charrette process to come up with new ideas. Early stage involvement of a variety of stakeholders is a critical step," according to Wilson.
Mcleod feels that incentives offer the opportunity to look at the total project, including energy modeling, building siting and even the percentage of wind available. "All of that is now part of the process. Savings By Design offers goals," he noted. "The scoring creates the financial incentives. The harder you push, the more that is achieved."
Lynch feels that the UCLA team's goals are in close alignment on Title 24 and ASHRAE modeling for LEED specifications. "Enhanced commissioning, and the benefits of built out metering through Savings By Design offers better feedback to end users. The financial incentives help support tools such as measurement and verification equipment which provide a better picture of building performance beyond first cost predictions," he noted.
Mcleod sees code compliance and certification mandates as important facets. "LEED certification is an 'attaboy'. It tells the world that you have met certain standards. But it doesn't bring the money. Savings By Design is something real. To get the incentives, you have to exceed the standards. Energy efficiency is an iterative process. It is a series of approximations; reaching out to hit a target, move forward and hit the next. But sometimes in a cost model you have to retract."
Lynch feels that the concept of "reasonable" as included in the code mandates is subjective. "It is important to apply energy efficiency to passive measures before you get to systems. Go for the low-hanging fruit such as a good building envelope that doesn't need steady monitoring; well insulated walls are a plus. Arrange a system to take full advantage of available resources. On the westside for example, there is sunshine all of the time.
"Within a system, focus on efficiency. New lighting makes a huge difference within the electrical profile. Use water for heating and cooling. Chill beam systems can carry water a long way, and water has a high capacity to carry temperature more effectively," he stated.
Wilson noted the codes as the California building industry's 'bible". "There is a reason why they exist. They are the opportunity to get us to where we need to go. Commissioning asks for minimum competence. CalGreen requirements are aligned with LEED. If we had an infinite source of renewables, energy efficiency wouldn't be an issue."
On the question of aligning design performance with building performance, Lynch cited the ability to track building use and make improvements in base measurement and monitoring. "People on campus are continually occupying buildings, so we are able to respond expeditiously as potential problems arise.
"During the design phase, a lot of review occurs. Facilities and maintenance staff are in the conversation very early in the process, which allows them the opportunity to offer feedback. They then have a greater stake in both design and performance." LEED is a very helpful tool for Lynch's team. "LEED mandates maintenance, use, and operating parameters," he noted.
Many of Lynch's projects are renovations. Facets such as plumbing and the location of utility controls are already known. Lynch's team also works closely with the campus department that is occupying the building regarding furniture and other key logistics.
Mcleod sees the tie between design performance and building performance as an opportunity to make an assessment of initial goals and to validate the accuracy of design projections.
Wilson feels that commissioning offers the truism that whether it is building design or building performance, "we can't be good enough at it."

E-petition discussion/ 11 Comments
Due of the huge response around the recent utility bill outcome I have closed comments on Heating and Hot Water Charges and started a new post; which is to discuss the petition and complaints letter.
The most recent comment from a resident is as follows, "I have received an e-petition to sign regarding this issue, but despite asking Forum House neighbours to sign it, the letter only talks about Quadrant Court. Forum House isn't even mentioned and quite a few of the problems don't even affect us or even if they do or we have similar issues, the letter is still only focused on QC's.
But more importantly, the letter doesn't treat the water&heat billing problem with the necessary depth, which was the point of this signatures collection. It doesn't say anything about the silly standing charges calculations, the abusive account set-up and annual fees for EnviroEnergy, etc. It pretty much just asks for the whole bill to be waived, and let's be realistic, it isn't going to happen (as much as I'd like it)."

Mediation is a clear demonstration of the increased power of diplomacy for peace [fr]
Maintenance of international peace and security
Statement by Mrs. Anne Gueguen, Deputy Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations, Chargée d'Affaires a.i.
Security Council - 29 August 2018
Mediation is a clear demonstration of the increased power of diplomacy for peace, as the Secretary-General has said. That is a cornerstone our Organization and a key part of the Security Council's duty to maintain international peace and security.
The United Nations is the forum for great mediators. Therefore, I would like to pay tribute to Kofi Annan for his work as Secretary-General and as mediator in several crises — notably, in Kenya, Syria and Burma. He was the embodiment of a good listener, impartiality and personal authority, which are indispensable for a mediator. He knew how to achieve the key to successful mediation: establishing unity where there are divisions and a common framework that expands stakeholders' outlook in order to overcome conflicts and free them from the prison of binary win-lose logic and zero-sum games.
Mediation is one of the essential tools provided by Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations for the peaceful settlement of disputes. The Gambia and Colombia are recent success stories that underscore the usefulness of that tool in conflict prevention, management and resolution.
In that context, France fully endorses the Secretary-General's vision, according to which we must be collectively more effective in preventing the emergence and deterioration of crisis situations. France therefore welcomes the efforts the Secretary-General has made to strengthen the mediation capacities of the United Nations, namely, through the establishment of the High-level Advisory Board on Mediation in September 2017. France also welcomes the other measures that have been taken in recent years, such as the establishment of the Mediation Support Unit and the Standby Team of Senior Mediation Advisers and the development of United Nations Guidance for Effective Mediation.
The United Nations plays a key mediation role in many crisis situations today. I have in mind in particular the cases of Syria, Yemen and Libya, where United Nations representatives are directly responsible for conflict resolution processes. I would also mention Mali, the Central African Republic, Iraq, Colombia and West Africa, where the special representatives of the Secretary-General and regional offices are playing a crucial role through their good offices.
Despite that progress and the indispensable role played by the United Nations, the increased number of conflicts in the world and the increasing complexity and global nature of conflicts make mediation efforts much more complex. In Mali, for example, the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali, with the support of international mediation, is facing both obstruction by criminal and terrorist groups and difficulties encountered by the various parties in joining their efforts to develop solutions to the crisis.
Elsewhere, mediation efforts are too often hampered by political or ideological positions that limit mediators' room for manoeuvre. The lack of political will and ownership by stakeholders is also a major challenge for mediation processes.
Finally, global challenges are now a potential source of increased conflict that cannot be ignored. I would mention climate change, which is exacerbating traditional sources of conflict, as evidenced, for example, by the tensions between breeders and farmers in West and Central Africa.
Against that backdrop, the Security Council must, more than ever, redouble its efforts to support ongoing mediation efforts. As I mentioned earlier, the Security Council itself has entrusted the United Nations with the responsibility for managing the political processes in Syria, Yemen and Libya. However, those political processes can succeed only if the Security Council is united in supporting the United Nations mediators and if its members remove certain political or ideological obstacles that undermine such processes.
In that context, France reiterates its full support to the United Nations mediators. In Syria, after years of bloody conflict, today hope lies in the political process launched by Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura in Geneva, the only forum in a position to achieve a negotiated political solution in line with resolution 2254 (2015). In Yemen, France also fully supports the efforts of Special Envoy Martin Griffiths and the holding on 6 September of the Geneva conference with all the parties. Lastly, in Libya, France reiterates its full support to Special Representative Ghassan Salamé and his appeal to the parties to meet the commitments made in Paris last June.
Apart from the unity of the Security Council, other elements seem essential to the success of mediation initiatives. In particular, it concerns their inclusiveness, especially the effective participation of women in all stages of the political process, which is an essential prerequisite for ensuring the emergence of lasting peace. It is also a matter of working with civil society and all those that support non-violence in society in order to fully benefit from the tremendous momentum in serving peace that they represent, be they young people, professional organizations or religious leaders.
The effectiveness of mediation efforts can also be enhanced by strengthening the links and coordination between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations. The latter bring the United Nations close to the field and an in-depth knowledge of the local environment.
Finally, today it seems to be necessary to further increase our ability to anticipate crises by strengthening early-warning mechanisms, but also by using preventive diplomacy. Preventing a conflict rather than having to resolve it must be a priority, and the case of the Gambia is an example to follow. The joint efforts of the United Nations, the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States made it possible to prevent the post-electoral crisis from turning into a conflict, whose main victim would have been the people.
I will conclude my statement by emphasizing that, while mediation is an essential element of crisis prevention and resolution, it must of course be supported by the promotion of respect for international law, in particular human rights law and international humanitarian law, and recourse to international justice and arbitration. International law remains an enduring linchpin of the multilateral order and an essential instrument for preventing or resolving crises and for restoring peace.

Toxic. Such a suitable word for so many aspects of my life in America right now. From the national political climate to race relations, from my work environment to my on-the-brink marriage…there is a lot of toxicity in my space right now and I want nothing more than to run away before it all comes crashing down.
But I know that I can't.
You see, my life is like the stream in the photo above. It looks so beautiful and pastoral but, in reality, the waters are treacherous. The stream above is comprised of water that needs to be treated because of coal mining activity that ceased just about 100 years ago. The water is run through limestone wells, which elevates the pH of the water and makes it super alkaline. Nothing lives in this creek until you get further downstream and the pH has settled back to normal.
I think it's common to feel like your life is the only one screwed up. I feel like that all the time. I don't know why it's so unacceptable to admit difficulty or struggles, or why so many peoole are adverse to experiencing discord in their lives. Don't get me wrong, too much tension has its own problems but we learn and grow the most as a result of being uncomfortable.
Having to work, really dig deeply, having to push yourself past your comfort zone, holding on and knowing that the pain or sadness or helplessness–or even toxicity– is temporary and that things will still emerge beautiful and vibrant once you get further downstream…that is the beauty of toxicity.

Working Title: The Four (This will probably change. I've been playing with puns, but none of them have spoken to me.)
Word Count: 35,033/50,000
Summary: Earth, air, fire, water … Four complete strangers who also happen to be dangerously powerful elemental witches must combine their elements and restore nature's balance. And by "combine their elements," they have to have lots and lots of sex. There are worse ways to avert an apocalypse.
Favorite line: "Where do you stand on tree bondage?" Tom said, crossing his arms over his chest and observing his handiwork with a smirk.
Notes: Magic definitely makes things … interesting.
For the first time, my characters significantly deviated from my plans. I'm usually pretty meticulous about plotting things out and arranging scene sequences beforehand. When I start plotting, scenes pop up in my head, and my method is to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B based on points I've already created.
But I've discovered that I kind of have to scrap two whole scenes (I said scenes instead of sex scenes because the whole story is basically a series of strung together sex scenes in a plotty way) that I'd planned since the early stages. This just doesn't happen. I'm kind of glad it did, like I've crossed some writer's rite of passage, where my characters decide to go a different way than I'd planned. It mostly happened because the pairings I expected to click didn't, and the pairings I wanted to get out of the way for the main show ended up being the main show. I think it has something to do with similar versus complementary elements and the accompanying personality traits.
I've tried to integrate elements of those scenes I planned (and liked) into other scenes instead. On the bright side, it means that this baby will probably clock in at about the length I wanted it instead of 10-14k words longer. I'm glad for that, because it means the end is within reach instead of half a story away.
Next on the docket: Finish The Four, edit a short story, write and edit another story story, and edit Cry Wolf. I'll probably ask my editor to take her time on that, since I'm taking on a huge project after I finish. Either that, or I'll save the Cry Wolf edits for after that project. It's a dilemma, because I wanted something to come out this summer. And by summer, that includes most people's fall. I live in Texas. What do you want from me?

Since the tragedies at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the March For Our Lives movement has taken a stand against senseless gun violence. The Parkland students work together with young leaders of all backgrounds from across the country to hold politicians accountable and combat the normalization of gun violence.
March For Our Lives brings Jammal Levy, Alex Wind, and David Hogg, all survivors of the Parkland shooting, to Town Hall's stage to share Glimmer of Hope, a book that tells the story of how a group of teenagers raced to channel their rage and sorrow into action—and went on to create one of the largest youth-led movements in global history. Joined by actor and activist Sophia Bush, these students bring their urgent conversation to Seattle to offer us a chance to come together and take action and work to create a safe and compassionate nation for our youth.
Moderator: Sophia Bush is an American actress, activist, entrepreneur, and global education access advocate. Bush is a member of the Directors Guild of America, and has appeared in films and series such as Incredibles 2, One Tree Hill, The Hitcher, John Tucker Must Die, and others. She uses her personal platform and social media influence to raise awareness to fund causes, including the construction of schools in Guatemala and Laos, as well as serving as a global ambassador for Glamour's The Girl Project.
Recorded live at Temple De Hirsch Sinai by Town Hall Seattle on Sunday, October 21, 2018.

Forbes, the leading American business magazine that publishes bi-weekly articles on finance, industry, investing, and marketing topics, have published their annual Forbes Fintech 50 2019 List. This year's list features 6 blockchain-related companies that have been steadily developing and innovating, in defiance of 2018's bear market.
The most notable crypto/blockchain-related fintech companies that made the list are Ripple, Coinbase, and Circle. The other 3, lesser-known, crypto-related fintech companies are Gemini, Bitfury, and Axoni.
Ripple Easily Secured a Spot
To many, it comes as no surprise that Ripple made the Forbes list, as the US-based technology company has accomplished a lot in 2018. As previously reported by IIB, Ripple made many breakthroughs in fintech, blockchain technology, adoption, and partnerships over the course of the year.
For instance, Ripple's global payments network, RippleNet, serves more than 100 financial institutions in 40 countries. 2 of the more prominent implementations of RippleNet are with Santander's OnePay FX, and CoinOne Transfer's Cross that leverage RippleNet for remittance services.
The global payments network has provided on-demand liquidity for cross-border payments, using the XRP digital asset through Ripple's xRapid system, enabling fast, cheap, and transparent payments.
Moreover, a more recent partnership Ripple achieved has been with Coingate, a global cryptocurrency payment gateway servicing more than 4,500 merchants. Clearly, Ripple is already seeing massive success and continued growth as we head into 2019.
Coinbase, North America's Most Popular Crypto Exchange
Despite the declining price of cryptocurrencies across the board, the US-based crypto exchange, Coinbase made the Forbes list as well. As of late, Coinbase is arguably the most valuable company in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with a valuation of $8 billion after a $300 million funding round from crypto-friendly venture groups.
Additionally, Coinbase has launched a myriad of new products, including crypto-to-crypto trading, new altcoin listings, support for Circle's USD Coin, PayPal withdrawals, a crypto custody service, and a revamped version of Earn.
Circle, a Global Crypto Finance Company
Circle is a notable blockchain-related company, backed by Goldman Sachs, that serves over 8 million customers from over 175 countries. The company currently has 3 primary products including the crypto exchange Poloniex, the cross-border payments app Circle Pay, and the OTC trading desk Circle Trade.
In 2018, Circle's 8 million customers collectively made over 200 million transactions amounting to $75 billion, and the company's over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk traded $24 billion in Bitcoin and altcoins. .Circle is clearly a major player in the fintech industry and is well-deserving of their spot on Forbes list.
What do you think these blockchain-related fintech companies will accomplish in 2019? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Blog: Critical Q&A 139 - 2017-12-17
The weekly show where I answer viewer questions left in the comments sections of my Critical Q&A videos or sent to me by email to email@example.com. This week, the questions I answer are:
(1) How does the Church of Scientology decide where to establish a presence in a new area? Scientology critics like yourself, Mike Rinder and Leah Remini state the Church is after money and that one needs a lot of money in order to go up The Bridge. Well Mike Rinder posted a poster of speakers coming from the Cincinnati org to the Cleveland Mission on December 2. The Scientology Cleveland Mission is in Parma, a suburb of Cleveland and as blue collar as you can get. One would think they would try to establish themselves either downtown or in a white collar suburb. If the Church of Scientology has all this money, then renting or paying for property in a high rent/high priced district should not be any problem.
(2) I have a question that I hope is not too personal. I mean no disrespect to you Chris. In Scientology statistics are very important, whether you are considered a good person or not is dependent on production and expansion. The work you do now is also very statistics driven: how many views, likes, shares and pledges. Do you have trouble applying old feelings to new circumstances? Do you avoid looking at your stats on Thursdays or have other protocols to avoid doing what Scientology told you to do and think vis-a-vis statistics?

Federal auditors are urging the General Services Administration to revisit a contract award for a "top secret" federal building project because the agency failed to explain how it evaluated the bids.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office rapped the federal government's building construction and management arm for the process that led to its $59 million project award to Clark Construction Group LLC, of Bethesda, MD.
The General Services Administration is responsible for delivering much of the space requirements of federal agencies. GSA manages thousands of federal properties.
The GAO, an independent congressional watchdog agency, called the GSA's evaluation of the proposals "unreasonable" and said the agency had failed to explain why it rejected two bids by Grunley Construction Co. Inc., of Rockville, MD, which had originally submitted the low bid for the project.
The GAO order, dated April 3, was released in redacted form this month.
'Top Secret' Project
The case involves a May 1, 2012, solicitation for construction of infrastructure on a federal building in Washington, D.C.
GSA classified the project as "Top Secret" and estimated the fixed-price contract at between $50 million and $100 million. An independent government estimate put the project price at $59,226,767.
However, the solicitation noted several evaluation factors that "would be considered significantly more important than price" in awarding the "best value" project. These included past performance, the contractor's project management approach, and experience on similar projects, GSA said.
Both general contractors have vast government, commercial and institutional project portfolios. Grunley was founded in 1955; Clark, in 1906.
Clark Construction Group LLC's portfolio includes the 2003 construction of the $241 million Capitol Area East Complex in Sacramento, CA. The company was founded in 1906.
Grunley's initial bid was $53,176,429; Clark's, $58,587,000. The document submissions were followed by oral presentations and revised proposals.
Low Cost Criticized
GSA then told Grunley that its bid included "significant deficiencies and weaknesses," including a price so low that the contractor "may not have understood the project requirements."
After reviewing Grunley's bid book, GSA concluded that Grunley "did not understand the level of effort required for the project" and was "loading resources towards the beginning of the project and may not have priced the options for what they are worth."
Grunley then revised its proposal to address GSA's questions and increased its bid to $62 million.
GSA then awarded the contract to Clark on Dec. 18, based on the company's higher evaluation and lower price.
Facts 'Simply Ignored'
Grunley protested, arguing that the GSA had not explained why it did not think the company could handle the job. GAO agreed, calling GSA's evaluation of Grunley's project management approach "unreasonable."
Founded in 1955, Grunley Construction Co. Inc. has annual revenues of more than $325 million. Its project portfolio includes exterior cleaning and repairs on the Argentine Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Grunley also noted that GSA had specifically criticized its proposal for failure to address both "float" (construction scheduling leeway) and shift transitions, when Grunley said it had addressed both in detail and cited specific pages.
"Again," wrote GAO, "despite the fact that the protester has pointed out that the 10-page schedule in its proposal included float in numerous instances, the agency has made no effort to further explain this aspect of its evaluation."
In responding to Grunley's arguments, GSA "has simply ignored the fact that the protester's schedule included float in numerous instances...," GAO reported.
Grunley also noted that GSA had referred variously to one item of its proposal in different documents as a "weakness" and a "strength," without explaining the contradiction even when challenged on it.
Review Recommended
The GAO agreed, finding: "We cannot find this aspect of the agency's evaluation of Grunley's proposal to be reasonable, given the apparent inconsistency in the record regarding this aspect of the agency's evaluation, and the agency's failure during the course of this protest to meaningfully respond to the protester's arguments."
GAO General Counsel Susan A. Poling recommended that GSA reevaluate the two proposals and "make a new source selection." If Grunley's proposal is found on review to represent the best value, GSA should terminate Clark's contract, award the contract to Grunley, and reimburse Grunley for its costs in protesting the award, Poling wrote.

"Dear Anchor Rehab and Care Facility,
"On behalf of my Mom and myself, I would like to thank you,
as well as commend you and your staff, for your wonderful
treatment of my Mom, D______ D______, also known as Carol.
Mom is 78 years young and since early April has been recovering
from [injuries and health issues] that require a lot of care and patience.
The past couple of months have been tough and she is in the process
of stabilizing her health by trying to be strong mentally and spiritually
and get back on her feet. The nursing and physical/occupational
therapy staff have been very caring and excellent.
The caretaking I have witnessed during my recent visit and also what she
tells me compel me to identify specific individuals but there are many others
unfortunately that go unnamed. Her nurses Royan, Becky and Janet
are among the nursing staff who come to mind. These individuals and
numerous others that go unnamed are skilled, compassionate, steady,
and very caring – for our family, her significant other …, and especially
my Mom.
Besides Royan, Becky and Janet there were many other exceptional
professionals and aides working on making her stay and rehabilitation
more tolerable. Jill at the reception desk made me feel so good by
acknowledging the Mothers Day flowers and care box had been received
by the facility. It's the numerous 'little things' that help support the
patient and the family during the healing and rehabilitation process.
Anchor Staff CARE, they greeted mom with a big smile and had kind words
to comfort her and prod and encourage her to eat. With injuries from the falls
[and other health issues], it is an uphill battle and has been a long duration
of rehabilitation.
Please let these employees know what they mean to us and honor them
for the wonderful, busy, exhausting work they do for long hours, with
professionalism, compassion and skill.
Thank you,
A grateful daughter and family."

or rad-ass
[rad as]
Examples of radass
Examples of radass
Where does radass come from?
Radass apparently blends rad, slang for "excellent" and shortened from radical in the 1970s, and badass, slang for "exceptional" or "an exceptional individual" since the 1950s. Radass may also have originated, though, as rad-ass, formed liked badass in its use of -ass as an intensifying suffix (e.g., That was a bad-ass skateboarding trick!)
So, when radass emerges isn't exactly clear, but Urban Dictionary first entered the term in 2003. The term may have popularized by its use in popular media in the 2000–10s, including Radass.com, a website that posts funny and sexy pictures and videos as well as sells various "cool" merchandise. Musical artists have also notably used radass, including the 2012 album American Radass (This Is Important) album by the band Dads.
A minor 2017 comedy, Highway to Havasu, used radass in its trailer description: "This Spring Break ride along with Billy, Dylan and Maxi on a radass road trip. Prepare to meet some crazy characters on the wild adventure."
Popular Now
Who uses radass?
Radass is occasionally used in spoken and written slang to describe someone or something who is more than just "rad" and "badass"—but is a radass. Radass can also describe something seen in this way (e.g., That car is totally radass).
While many use radass earnestly, the term is sometimes used ironically to mock efforts to make something sound cooler than it actually is.

|Section summary
|1. Introduction
|2. Load Cells accuracy
|3. Load Cells calibration
|4. Important points
Load cells play a central role in many powder processes since they allow to measure the weight of solids processed. Load cells are used for Dosing purpose or mass balance recollection.
The proper specification, calibration and then maintenance of load cells systems is key to make sure the process will performed as designed, will produce within quality specifications and at controlled cost.
There are different technology principles for load cells. The different weighing principles are summarized below :
Table 1 : The different principles of load cells
|Strain Gage Load cells
|Bending Load Cells
|Shear Load Cells
|Compression Load Cells
|Ring torsion Load Cells
Industrial load cells are can be installed at many places in the process. Common equipments are tanks and hoppers scales used for dosing purpose (weighing hopper on load cells) or to have an idea of the stock of product at a given moment (tanks or silos on load cells).

5. Energy Savings
In order to have a good and reliable measurement, it is 1st necessary to select the load cells regarding the load cells measuring range and the overload that may be applied to the load cells during their operation.
The process operator must determine what is the measuring range that will constitute the normal operating conditions of the load cells and for which he requires a certain accuracy. This range will define the load cells measuring range. From this range, different safety factors need to be taken to prevent damage of the load cells by overload.
The values given below constitute a general approach, an assessment must be done to check if the load cells will not encounter higher loads after installation (during some maintenance operations for example).
Table 2 : Load Cells Capacity definitions
|Capacity variable
|Load Cell Measuring range
|Range for which the reading should be within the maximum
permissible error
This is the expected weight to be measured by the process (example the max weight to be dosed for a recipe)
|Safe Load Limit
|Max load that can be applied to the load cells without
causing damage.
Rule of thumb : 150% of Measuring range
|Ultimate load
|Max load that can be applied without leading to physical
damage. Accuracy may however be impacted if such loads are
Rule of thumb : 300% of Measuring range
|Safe Side load
|Max load that can be at 90 degree (on the side) without
causing damage.
Rule of thumb : 100% of Measuring range
Some manufacturers are also proposing tension modules. The load is then pulling on the load cell instead of pushing on it, like in most of the applications.
Events that can lead to overload include : shock loading, agitators in movement (dynamic load), off center load, overloading a scale.
Calculation formula should be applied to take into consideration the situation in which the load cell will be installed and then select the right load cells capacities.
Figure 1 : Capacities and loads - graphical representation
For an industrial process, in an industrial environment, an accuracy of 0.1% of the applied weight can be reached. Load Cells of high precision could reach around 0.03% of the rated capacity (max measuring range).
The error of the scale is the combinations of calibration, linearity, hysteresis and repeatability errors. It is possible to perform a calibration sequence so that the calibration sequence is reduced to around 0, as well repeatability errors should be very miniminal (less than 0.03% of Rated Capacity). In practice, the accuracy of the scale system will be equal to the combined error.
Combined error = Non linearity + Hysteresis = 0.02 to 0.03% of Rated Capacity. This is for 1 load cell.
All reading, from 0 kg to Rated Capacity, should be within the accuracy (Combined error * Rated Capacity * Number load cells). This means that at low load, the error (as % of the weight applied) should be higher than at high load.
Figure 2 : Load cells performance Graph
On top of this, the repeatability error, which should be very minimal, should be controlled after installation to make sure there is no issue.
Another important characteristic is the minimum verification interval (vmin). It is the minimum amount of mass that must be applied to the load cells without exceeding the max permissible error. It is to be related to the combined error which is expressed as % of the Rated Capacity. During design it must be checked that (vmin=Emax/gamma <h; minimum weight expected on the scale).
The resolution of the scale must also be defined. It is related to the number of digits the scale will display, although it is not directly related to the load cells accuracy (it is an illusion to ask more digits than the scales accuracy).
Summary : important load cells characteristics to define when designing an installation
Table 3 : Definition of design values for load cells
|Design parameter
|Combined error
|The Combined error is giving the best precision one can expect from load cells properly calibrated. For individual load cells, it should be in the range of 0.03% of the Rated Capacity (Emax). As a consequence, accuracy should be expected better at high load than at low load
|Minimum verification interval (vmin)
|This is the minimum weight that must be applied to the load cells to stay in the design accuracy
|This is the number of digits that can be displayed by the load cells. It is not related to the accuracy.
To perform load cells calibration, it is necessary to have a reference. This reference is usually provided by test weights that have been calibrated by recognized institutes.
It is then necessary to follow a procedure defined by the supplier in order to load the scale with defined mass, check and record reading, then correct potential errors. In certain situation, for very large scale, it may be necessary to fill the scale with water to perform the calibration.
The load cells need then to be checked with the following tests, to be done in the order below :
Table 4 : Definition of calibration tests for load cells
|Friction test
|The test is performed by adding and removing several time
the same weight to the scale.
The display shown must be the same and should not change by more than 0.02% of the scale Rated Capacity
The friction test will make sure that there is no deviation of the repeatability (explained above) due to some interactions of the environment with the load cells (the scale is in friction with another part for example)
|Creep test
|The test is performed by adding a weight on the scale and
waiting for a defined time.
During the waiting time the reading should not change by more than 0.01% of the scale Rated Capacity
The creep test will detect any tension that will relax due to the application of the weight (a tension to a flexible for example)
|Linearity and Hysteresis (=Combined error)
|Weight are added step by step on the scale, then removed.
Value read are compared to calibrated value of the weight.
It will detect any deviation of linearity of histeresis that could be the sign of an incorrect calibration of the load cells or interaction of the environement with the scale
It may not be possible to test the whole scale, in this case, a minimum of 10% of the Rated Capacity should at least be targetted
The tests and reference values given above are general and recommendations of suppliers could vary. They are given as 1st indications and to perform sense check. The verification of suppliers specifications and manual should always be done. The 3 tests given above are the minimum to be performed, other tests may be requested by manufacturers, especially for precision feeders.
Installation of load cells
Load cells are very sensitive to current. A particularly important point is to ensure that load cells are electrically isolated if any welding work is on going close to the load cells. A good practice would be to install load cells once all welding works have been completed. If the load cells is not properly isolated or if the earthing of the welding station is not properly placed, leak currents can damage it.

What's the most important development in the energy business?
No, it's not not pipeline gridlock or hydraulic fracking. It's the rising cost of drilling a well.
In 2000, the average drilling cost per well was just under $1 million. Today, the rush into unconventional oil and gas plays has caused that figure to increase five-fold. Here is how this trend is fundamentally reshaping the oil patch.
End of the wildcatter
The players in the game have changed.
Wild-eyed prospectors and gutsy entrepreneurs have always played off the energy industry. Up until ten years ago, all you needed to do to break into the business was your life savings and some extra cash from family and friends. Empires were founded for under $10 million.
Today, the entry price for multi-well drilling program (not to mention the regulatory burden) is over $100 million. That's completely out of range for small players.
Today it's sophisticated private equity firms and other financial institutions backing energy projects. To secure capital, producers are increasingly turning to cash rich Asian investors.
Bigger is better
Higher capital costs and factory-like operations point to an increasing need for economies of scale. Success in this business will be determined by securing the lowest cost of capital and eking out operational efficiencies. Investors should expect more consolidation.
Nowhere is this more obvious than Alberta where's it's becoming increasingly evident that the province is a big boys sand box.
Names like Connacher Oil and Gas, Opti Canada, UTS Energy, and Synenco Energy remind us that juniors are not up to the task of developing unconventional plays. Junior players have been relegated to the task of identifying reserves as well as developing and licensing new technology. The actual business of production will be left to deep pocketed majors.
Vulnerability to weak commodity prices
Steep depletion rates are the signature of unconventional wells.
Consider the projected production decline curve for a well owned by Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp (USA) (NYSE:KOG). This graph shows an estimated production decline of 85% by 2015.
For small shale firms like Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp (USA) (NYSE:KOG), steep production declines leaves the company a short amount of time to generate enough cash flow to fund its next round of drilling. If commodity prices fall during this period, the company could be left with a portfolio of leases by no funds to drill the next hole.
When you find yourself in this situation you get bought out on the cheap.
Need for a strong balance sheet
Companies in the oil business are known for spending all of their cash and then some. But greater sensitivity to commodity prices increases the need to hold more capital in order to sustain drilling programs.
Problems at companies like Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK) will no longer be tolerated. For years the company generated negative free cash flows, aggressively using debt to fund new land purchases and dividends.
This policy resulted in massive losses when natural gas prices plunged in 2012. Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK) lost $770 million and the share price collapsed 60%. As a result the company was force to slash its drilling program and sell off assets to shore up the balance sheet.
Looking around the oil patch, there are other potential disasters brewing.
The same thing that happened with Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK), for instance, could easily happen to Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE:OAS)
Last year, Oasis grew production in the Williston Basin 70% year-over-year. Management has grown reserves at a 120% compounded annual growth rate since 2009.
While those growth numbers are impressive, Oasis has funded most of that growth through $1.2 billion in external borrowing.
If prices fall, Oasis will be forced to shed assets and pursue a more sustainable growth strategy. As Fool contributor Matt DiLallo recently pointed out, a company can only outspend its cash flow for so long before it bumps up against its limits.
Foolish bottom line
The oil business of the 21st century will look a lot different from the previous. The industry will favor the big over the bold and the capitalized over the leveraged. Re-position your portfolio accordingly.
