Training camp is just around the corner in the NFL, and then comes the 2022 season. Plenty of teams have been busy this offseason, spending big to upgrade their lineups. Others have been more focused on rebuilding, tearing things down with the hopes of a brighter future. But which clubs boast the best all-around talent entering the hottest days of summer?
Let's rank all 32 teams strictly according to their rosters going into camp, with full knowledge that the remainder of the offseason, the preseason and particularly the real games this fall will come to determine the true pecking order:
Arthur Smith is essentially starting from scratch for a second straight season, and this time, he doesn't have Matt Ryan's veteran savviness to at least mask the offense's thin weaponry. Kyle Pitts and Drake London could form a solid big-boy duo at pass catcher, but there's still a general lack of explosiveness here.
Regardless of whether it's Marcus Mariota or Desmond Ridder at QB, this is shaping up to be a plodding old-school attack with Cordarrelle Patterson and Damien Williams as the "featured" ball-carriers. Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Terrell are promising youngsters at premium positions on defense, but that unit as a whole isn't particularly deep, either. Few teams feel more firmly entrenched in purgatory, until a real post-Ryan gamble occurs under center.
You'd be forgiven if you thought the Texans just carried over their porous roster from a 4-13 finish in 2021. Davis Mills seemingly has NFL-caliber poise to go along with prototypical QB size, but once again he'll have mostly scraps with which to prove he belongs as a long-term starter. Brandin Cooks is underrated out wide, but Houston's line is still suspect, and management inexplicably remains committed to the Patriots-style hoarding of interchangeable running backs. Can you imagine, in 2022, being scared to face the Texans' stable of Marlon Mack, Rex Burkhead, Dameon Pierce and Royce Freeman?
Derek Stingley Jr. and Jalen Pitre may freshen up the secondary under Lovie Smith, whose own aging track record doesn't inspire much confidence, but yet again the Texans are banking on free-agent leftovers to steer the ship. It feels like a matter of when, not if, Houston will be resetting operations once more.
If team brass is really "all in" on Justin Fields at QB, it's not acting like it, saddling the former first-rounder with a still-shaky line and thin receiving corps. David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert give them a solid backfield, and Darnell Mooney offers legit speed, but all of those guys are better suited for complementary roles. Under new coach Matt Eberflus, a defensive mind, it'll be a minor miracle if Fields grows in confidence and decision-making while working around such a mediocre offensive supporting cast.
The "D" is a slightly different story, with Eberflus possessing both proven vets (Roquan Smith, Robert Quinn, Al-Quadin Muhammad) and likable rookies (Kyler Gordon, Jaquan Brisker), perhaps retaining Chicago's signature stinginess. In today's NFL, however, a defense that might be good is far from enough to remain competitive, let alone contend for big games.
How much of a boost do all their prospective play-makers get from Brian Daboll's entrance at head coach? Because for all the upside offered by Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney in recent years, they've delivered pretty pitifully. Perhaps Daboll will finally integrate Jones' mobility into the offense, and capitalize on the big-play size (Golladay) and speed (Toney) of his targets, but until we see that happen, with an O-line still in transition, it's hard to trust them with the ball.
Kayvon Thibodeaux should certainly enliven their front seven, which already boasts foundational pieces in Azeez Ojulari and Dexter Lawrence, but the back half remains a major question mark, especially with former Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry now out of the picture. New general manager Joe Schoen made clear in his actions this offseason that 2022 was more about deconstructing the lineup than building a new one.
Good for Dan Campbell and Co. adding speed to a surprisingly promising offensive lineup, with Jameson Williams and D.J. Chark now atop a pass-catching corps also featuring T.J. Hockenson and Amon-Ra St. Brown. But even with D'Andre Swift and a solid line, it's hard to envision Jared Goff returning to his Rams peak at QB. This is an example of the signal-caller really lowering the average. If he proves us wrong, it'll be because he capitalized on the growing pieces around him.
The defense is another story. Aidan Hutchinson was a smart addition, deepening the thin pass rush, but there are holes throughout the rest of the unit, particularly on the back end. Jeff Okudah and Mike Hughes, two former first-rounders struggling for steadiness, are the headliners of their still-ailing secondary.
Their placement here, despite owning two straight No. 1 draft picks and spending like crazy in free agency, is an indictment on management. Yes, Trevor Lawrence is better off under center, where he's now got the tutelage of Doug Pederson and added targets in Christian Kirk and Zay Jones. Yes, the Brandon Scherff addition up front could do wonders for the pocket. But altogether, the supporting cast isn't high-octane as much as it is … middlingly upgraded? That could change if Travis Etienne breaks out as a hybrid weapon, or James Robinson returns at full speed, but those are gambles.
There are at least a few more young faces in which to buy stock on defense, chiefly pass rushers Josh Allen and Travon Walker, and linebackers Foye Oluokun and Devin Lloyd. But the secondary is littered with overpriced vets. As much as Pederson may do for the Jaguars culture, he'll need a major step forward from Lawrence to drag the rest of the lineup to extended win streaks.
Welcome to life after Russell Wilson, and a prime example of a QB making all the difference in a lineup. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are an explosive one-two punch out wide, Noah Fant is an emerging player at tight end, and Rashaad Penny might be just fine as Pete Carroll's next bell-cow ball-carrier, but behind an iffy line, neither Geno Smith nor the more gunslinging Drew Lock warrant much trust as permanent starters. The "D," meanwhile, has a few new admirable starters in Shelby Harris and Uchenna Nwosu, but remains dangerously mercurial off the edge and on the back end.
25. Commanders
New QB Carson Wentz might have better all-around weapons in Washington than he did with the Colts, considering Antonio Gibson and Terry McLaurin can both be game-changers at top speed. Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson emerging out wide would be a bonus. But what is Wentz's ceiling at this point? Wild-card-caliber stuff? Defensively, Ron Rivera's front remains loaded, with Chase Young rejoining Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen, but who's gonna cover people if prominent vets like William Jackson III and Benjamin St-Juste don't take major steps forward?
Bill Belichick's oversight may well guarantee this roster always exceeds expectations, and no doubt QB Mac Jones has flashed the accuracy to stay competitive for the long haul. The defense is stingy more often than not, too, and Matt Judon is an underrated force off the edge. But the weapons aren't necessarily scary, with Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne all arguably best suited for No. 2/3 roles, and the secondary is increasingly dependent on aging vets. No one would be surprised if Bill gets another playoff bid from this bunch, but no one's really anticipating a deep run, either.
Carolina is the butt of many jokes because of its string of utter misfires at QB, and Sam Darnold's continued grip on the top job is a reminder of that. But the general dysfunction there has overshadowed an otherwise solid young core. Christian McCaffrey may or may not be durable anymore, but D.J. Moore is a bona fide No. 1 wideout, the O-line is much improved after investing in Austin Corbett and Bradley Bozeman, and the defense has an array of blue-chip prospects, from edge rusher Brian Burns and interior man Derrick Brown to edgy corner Jaycee Horn and play-making safety Jeremy Chinn.
The Titans technically replaced star WR A.J. Brown by adding Robert Woods and Treylon Burks, but only one of them has proven to be a quality starter in the NFL, and QB Ryan Tannehill is under pressure to perform behind an O-line introducing two new starters. That's not to say they won't be physical and competitive again under Mike Vrabel, especially with Derrick Henry healthy and the defense finding an emerging front man in Jeffery Simmons. But if you can't consistently pass the ball, or defend the pass, in today's NFL, your roster probably needs some long-term tweaking.
New head coach Dennis Allen has some big names at his disposal; the questions are mostly regarding their availability. Consider Jameis Winston, Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas, the big three at QB, RB and WR. Winston is coming off an injury, Kamara is due for a suspension, and Thomas has barely played in two years. Rookies like Chris Olave and Trevor Penning may offset the uncertainties out wide and up front, where Terron Armstead departed, but even then, Winston's proven to be a rather mercurial arm. The "D," even with notable losses like that of Malcolm Jenkins and Marcus Williams, still has trusty regulars in Cameron Jordan and Demario Davis, but how much do Tyrann Mathieu and Marcus Maye have left in the tank?
20. Jets
If you want an example of a team doing everything in its power to support a young QB, look no further than the Jets, who addressed basically every top need this offseason. Zach Wilson now has better protection (Laken Tomlinson), more viable targets (Garrett Wilson, C.J. Uzomah) and a much-improved defense, including new starters Sauce Gardner, D.J. Reed, Jermaine Johnson and Jordan Whitehead. The pieces have to gel, and Wilson has to make better decisions, but this team will quickly rise up the rankings if the execution is there this fall.
Sometimes we make the mistake of equating big names to elite value, and that might be Arizona's biggest issue of late. On the surface, James Conner, Zach Ertz and A.J. Green are fine starters for Kliff Kingsbury's big-play offense. But none of them are especially durable at this point in their career, so new No. 1 target Marquise Brown could have an integral role in Kyler Murray's next steps at QB, where he's flashed MVP potential but fizzled out late in the year. The porous defense is more concerning, where it's up to a few past (J.J. Watt) or present (Budda Baker) stars to run the whole show.
What does Trey Lance have to offer? That's the big question, assuming Kyle Shanahan actually follows through with plans to turn the QB keys over to his athletic but unpolished investment, and part ways with the serviceable but creaky Jimmy Garoppolo. And what about Deebo Samuel, Shanahan's top weapon out wide and on the run? If he stays, the offense is still in decent shape, no matter who's throwing the ball, for the trench warriors (namely star left tackle Trent Williams) and short-area targets (George Kittle) are still elite. The "D" has different pros and cons, with Nick Bosa and Fred Warner dominating in the front seven but the secondary once again looking to outside help (ex-Chiefs corner Charvarius Ward) for consistency.
Mike Tomlin hasn't necessarily had top-15 QB play for the better part of three years, so the uncertainty of Mitchell Trubisky or Kenny Pickett under center probably won't break this club's spirits. Besides, the line is revamped with new guard James Daniels, and the foundation is there for a physical, old-school approach: Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth and the WR trio of Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson and George Pickens are a young but feisty bunch. If anything's gonna keep Pittsburgh in the hunt, though, it's the "D," which still has big questions at corner, where fliers like Levi Wallace and Akhello Witherspoon will take over, but boasts some of the game's top disruptors in T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Matt Ryan brings more stability at QB after the rocky finish to the short-lived Carson Wentz era, but does he have the stuff to elevate an offense whose once-vaunted line now features Matt Pryor at left tackle and added just rookie Alec Pierce to a thin receiving group? Jonathan Taylor's dominant presence in the backfield sure helps, as does a defense with the firepower to make a deep run (Yannick Ngakoue and Stephon Gilmore are underrated additions to a lineup that already boasted DeForest Buckner, Darius Leonard and Kenny Moore II). You just wonder how far a team with limited vertical options can go.
15. Browns
Cleveland has been hailed as one of the best, deepest rosters in the NFL, and it's true there's no shortage of weapons on both sides of the ball: RB Nick Chubb, WR Amari Cooper, DE Myles Garrett, LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, CB Denzel Ward are all proven or rising stars. But the receiving room is thin beyond Cooper, the line lost center J.C. Tretter, the secondary is still banged up, and most of all, the biggest asset of them all, new QB Deshaun Watson, looks like a lock to miss significant time thanks to a suspension for his extensive legal disputes involving 24 different accusations of sexual assault or misconduct. Jacoby Brissett, his likely replacement, might be serviceable, but he's bounced around as a backup recently for a reason.
All eyes are on Tua Tagovailoa's development at QB, but new coach Mike McDaniel has more than enough toys to make a strong debut no matter what happens under center. Setting aside the massive stable of running backs he's built for his presumably ground-heavy approach (Chase Edmonds, Sony Michel, Raheem Mostert, Myles Gaskin), he's also got two dynamic wideouts in Tyreek Hill, the game-breaking speedster; and Jaylen Waddle, the shifty target machine. The trenches are also much improved with Terron Armstead taking over at left tackle and Connor Williams entering on the interior.
Miami's "D," which stayed feisty under ex-coach Brian Flores, also has playoff-caliber potential. Christian Wilkins and Emmanuel Ogbah make a formidable front, Jaelan Phillips could be a stud off the edge, and they've got a familiar but steady trio headlining the secondary in Xavien Howard, Byron Jones and Jevon Holland. The pieces are there for an actual step forward.
He may not have the resume to inspire confidence in a title run, but Kirk Cousins has been an above-average starter for most of his career. As long as he's paired with Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson, two of the game's most electrifying players at their respective positions, he'll have Minnesota in the mix until late in the year. As is often the case here, the line could stand to be more consistent, but throw in secondary pieces like Adam Thielen and Irv Smith Jr., and it's a really balanced offense.
Mike Zimmer's departure, meanwhile, might actually be freeing for the defense, which got a veteran facelift thanks to the additions of Za'Darius Smith and Jordan Hicks at linebacker. Smith should help take pressure off Danielle Hunter off the edge, and Hicks should improve the run "D" next to Eric Kendricks.
Derek Carr is a borderline top-10 statistical passer, and now he's got Davante Adams to target alongside Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller. That's one of the best pure skill groups in the NFL when you factor in Josh Jacobs' bruising running. But how long can their iffy line — basically everyone except left tackle Kolton Miller — hold up?
Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones make up an elite pass rush, but the second and third levels of Vegas' defense are still rife with questions. At corner, for example, the addition of new faces like Anthony Averett and Rock Ya-Sin isn't guaranteed to mask coverage deficiencies seen in starters like Johnathan Abram.
Everything is solid in Denver; the question is, what's special? Take Russell Wilson, their prized acquisition, who instantly makes them better at QB but may or may not be past his best days of MVP contention. Can he elevate their good, not necessarily elite, WR trio of Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick? Either way, they should be able to replicate some of the old-school approach that worked for Russ way back in Seattle, with Garett Bolles headlining a sturdy line and the Javonte Williams-Melvin Gordon duo giving new coach Nathaniel Hackett a pair of starting options on the ground.
On the other side of the ball, the Broncos look just as well-rounded, albeit with questions. Adding Randy Gregory opposite Bradley Chubb could give Denver one of the AFC's most fearsome pass rushing duos, but health is a major factor. Patrick Surtain II and Justin Simmons, meanwhile, are ballers in the secondary, but the other starting spots are much less clear.
10. Ravens
They've seemingly doubled down on a run-first approach with Lamar Jackson under center, jettisoning Marquise Brown (and a more proven WR corps) in favor of added responsibility for tight end Mark Andrews and a stable of rehabbing rushers, including J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. But they know how to run it well! And the line, presumably with a healthier Ronnie Stanley back at left tackle, should be improved with a pair of new starters in Tyler Linderbaum and Morgan Moses.
The defense is really where Baltimore could make its money, as lynchpins like Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey return from injury. More impressive is the youth they've added at each level: Travis Jones up front, David Ojabo off the edge, and Kyle Hamilton on the back end. Paired with ex-Saints standout Marcus Williams, Hamilton has the versatility to transform the Ravens back to one of the NFL's feistiest contenders.
Jalen Hurts is already a relatively high-floor QB because of his running back-like mobility, and now he has a setup befitting legit growth as a passer, with the imposing A.J. Brown joining DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert downfield. Even in the event Hurts doesn't make big strides throwing the ball, Philly still has an elite line, with Jordan Mailata, Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson still in Pro Bowl form, to power a multifaceted ground game. Miles Sanders just might be underrated as a ball-carrier at this point.
And then there's the "D," which got upgrades at every level. The massive Jordan Davis is now on the interior alongside Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave, ex-Panthers star Haason Reddick is now rushing off the edge with Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat, and former Giants Pro Bowler James Bradberry has teamed up with Darius Slay to give the team two quality cover men. If Nick Sirianni can't at least replicate his debut 9-8 record with this bunch, there will be cause for concern.
The Aaron Rodgers Effect. Green Bay didn't have a particularly inspiring offseason, failing to add a single impact veteran to an offense that lost perennial Pro Bowler Davante Adams out wide, but the reality, like in Kansas City and Tampa Bay, is that every skill-position starter looks better when a game-changing QB is running the show. If Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb or rookie Christian Watson don't break out downfield, then Matt LaFleur still has a lightning-and-thunder combo in the backfield, with Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon built to produce in tandem.
The Packers also have more defensive juice than they get credit for. Rashan Gary is poised to emerge as the top edge rusher with Za'Darius Smith gone for good, and both Devonte Wyatt and Quay Walker should have big roles as rookies. Durability remains a question in the secondary, but when healthy and at their peak, Jaire Alexander, Darnell Savage and even Rasul Douglas stay around the ball. Without Rodgers, this might be a wild-card team. With him, it can still be more.
Regardless of whether they ever meet expectations (hint: they often don't), the Cowboys do not lack premium talent. Longtime left tackle Tyron Smith is an underrated question mark due to his health, and Amari Cooper's departure out wide puts a bigger burden on Michael Gallup, but there is so much proven chemistry between the stars here: QB Dak Prescott, RB Tony Pollard, WR CeeDee Lamb, TE Dalton Schultz and OG Zack Martin are all among the best or most promising at their positions.
Dallas' brightest stars might be on defense: Micah Parsons looks like a generational, almost position-less play-maker rushing the QB from the middle of the field, and Trevon Diggs, despite boom-or-bust coverage tactics, is a pick magnet. If only their front four were more well-rounded, they might have a case to approach the top five best rosters across the league.
Patrick Mahomes is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here, perhaps more than ever before. Paired with his gunslinging and Andy Reid's oversight, there's little doubt newcomers like JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will put up numbers. But there's no replacing Tyreek Hill's pure electricity, so the onus is even more on Mahomes and longtime favorite Travis Kelce to keep the train moving. It helps that Kansas City's line is still rock solid, with Orlando Brown Jr. back at left tackle.
First-rounders George Karlaftis and Trent McDuffie will be key to the team's development at pass rusher and cornerback, respectively, mostly because they're Day One starters by default. It's certainly possible K.C.'s secondary will take a dip, depending on the health and consistency of safeties Juan Thornhill and Justin Reid, replacing Tyrann Mathieu. But again, as long as No. 15 is under center and Reid is shepherding this roster, how can you write them off?
The hottest underdog story of 2021, they are underdogs no longer, especially because of the MVP-level pairing of Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. No QB or team enjoys a deeper, more explosive pass-catching group, with both Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd creating space alongside Chase. Throw in Joe Mixon at running back, and a remade O-line now featuring ex-Bucs guard Alex Cappa and ex-Cowboys tackle La'el Collins, and Burrow has all the tools to keep Cincinnati near the front of the pack.
Unless Zac Taylor's play-calling regresses, the bigger questions lie on defense: can the underrated unit survive top passing teams with Eli Apple and Chidobe Awuzie on the outside? And how will rangy safety Jessie Bates III fit in as he endures contract issues, even if his hurdles are just mental? Rookie defensive back Dax Hill could play an integral role at both spots.
This starts and ends with Tom Brady, whose arm has seemingly gotten stronger in his 40s but is most influential for his unmatched prep, poise and vision. Part of the reason TB12 can't be ruled out in his quest for an eighth (!) ring, however, is the title-winning offense he runs. Even with Chris Godwin coming off injury and Rob Gronkowski retiring, the trio of Mike Evans, Leonard Fournette and newcomer Russell Gage make for a Grade-A group when working alongside the game's best QB and one of the NFL's best blocking units, headlined by Ryan Jensen and Tristan Wirfs.
The pressure will be on Todd Bowles to run the show with Bruce Arians stepping back from the sidelines, but at least Bowles' defense is also well-stocked by itself. Akiem Hicks brings added beef to the front, the linebacker crew remains lethal, and Antoine Winfield Jr. holds down the back end. There's also the fact this roster has been there, done that.
The reigning Super Bowl champions have reason to believe they can remain the class of the NFC, and it starts with the pieces around Matthew Stafford, who so enjoyed Sean McVay's setup he nearly landed an MVP award to go with a Lombardi. With or without Odell Beckham Jr., the receiving corps is one of the NFL's best thanks to Cooper Kupp's reliability and, now, Allen Robinson's size. Their title-winning line remains mostly intact, too, and a healthier Cam Akers gives them a high-upside RB1.
There are minimal questions on "D," where depth could be tested behind No. 1 cover man Jalen Ramsey, but veteran Troy Hill is back after a one-year hiatus in Cleveland. As long as Aaron Donald is on the field, opponents will have to scheme around his disruptions. And longtime Seahawks standout Bobby Wagner should only make the heart of the unit smarter. As long as the biggest names execute when it matters, L.A. cannot be counted out of any game for at least another season.
Fresh off an offseason spending spree, they're one of the most well-rounded teams in the NFL, on paper. Justin Herbert was already a top-10 QB, but with Mike Williams back out wide opposite Keenan Allen, and Gerald Everett plugged in as a safety valve at tight end, and Zion Johnson joining an O-line already outfitted with studs like Rashawn Slater and Corey Linsley, there's no reason they shouldn't have a top-five offensive attack. That's not even accounting for Austin Ekeler as a Swiss Army Knife.
And then there's Brandon Staley's defense, which improved at literally every level. You've got bulk up front with Austin Johnson and Sebastian Joseph-Day, relentlessness off the edge with Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, and ball-hawking at corner with J.C. Jackson and Asante Samuel Jr. Throw in Derwin James at safety, if he stays healthy, and it's an all-star unit from front to back. Staley's growth as a coach may steer the ship to its ultimate destination, but talent-wise, you can't ask for much more here.
It's no wonder Josh Allen's getting lots of MVP buzz entering year five. Not only is the QB a star in his own right, but he's got an enviable supporting cast, starting with a one-two-three punch of Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis and Jamison Crowder out wide. That group alone can put on a clinic with route-running (Diggs), deep speed (Davis) and slot work (Crowder), and James Cook's addition to the backfield should give Allen another outlet. The line isn't perfect, but Allen's natural athleticism doesn't require it.
Sean McDermott's defense, meanwhile, is probably even more improved coming off three straight playoff runs. Who will dare play their front four (Von Miller, Ed Oliver, DaQuan Jones, Greg Rousseau) with confidence? Behind them, it's one play-maker after another, with Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds manning the middle, Kaiir Elam joining Tre'Davious White in coverage and the aging but savvy safety duo of Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer rounding out the secondary. If this team doesn't at least advance to the AFC Championship, fans across New York will be sorely disappointed, and rightfully so.

Hats off to Mark Belling for calling out the restaurants and businesses in Milwaukee who are advocating for the city to force everyone to wear a mask. These businesses are pushing for government to shove us around.
No thanks.
I rarely spend time in the City of Milwaukee anymore anyway, but many of these businesses have properties in areas I do frequent. I'll spend my money with people who aren't using their clout to push for larger and more oppressive government.

After the Bell
Family Background, Public Policy, and Educational Success. Edited by Dalton Conley and Karen M. Albright
Since the publication of the Coleman report in the United States many decades ago, it has been widely accepted that the evidence that schools are marginal in the grand scheme of academic achievement is conclusive. Despite this, educational policy across the world remains focused almost exclusively on schools. This volume focuses its searchlight on family background and its impact on educational success. That schools have an important role in education is beyond question, but this book demonstrates some of the crucial ways that nonschool factors matter covering such themes as: the impact of fathers on educational success, socioeconomic background and young children''s education, and school-community relationships. With contributions from such figures as Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, Doris Entwistle, and Richard Arum, this book is an important contribution to a debate that has implications across the board in social sciences and policymaking. It will be required reading for students and academics within sociology, economics and education and should also find a place on the bookshelves of education policymakers.

Peru's Interim President, Manuel Merino, announced his resignation on Sunday, after nearly a week of violent protests in the country where at least two people were reported dead and 94 injured. He was the President of Congress before he was appointed interim President after former President Martin Vizcarra was impeached by Congress due to "moral incapacity" and for allegedly accepting more than $630,000 in bribes when he was still a governor some years ago. As Vizcarra's replacement, Merino promised to unite the country but the Peruvians refused to recognize his authority.
NPR.Org: By Sunday, most of Merino's Cabinet had resigned, and Congress asked him to relinquish the role.
Less than one week after assuming the office of the presidency, Manuel Merino has stepped down as interim president of Peru, according to NPR.Org.
The move caps a week of political turmoil that has embroiled the country since former President Martín Vizcarra was removed by legislators Monday night. Merino, who was head of Congress, took his place on Tuesday — and faced immediate opposition from Peruvians who refused to recognize his authority.
By Sunday, most of Merino's Cabinet had resigned, and Congress asked him to relinquish the role.
Congress, which was holding an emergency session Sunday, is expected to replace Merino.
CNN: Peru's interim president Manuel Merino announces his resignation via a televised address from the Presidential Palace in Lima, Peru, Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020.
CNN reports that Peru's interim president Manuel Merino resigned Sunday, after being in office for only five days. His decision followed nearly a week of violent protests in the country following the impeachment of former President Martin Vizcarra.
Merino was the President of Congress until being appointed interim president after Congress impeached former President Martin Vizcarra over corruption allegations on Monday. Vizcarra has denied the allegations.
Vizcarra's impeachment sparked protests across the country starting Monday and continued for six nights in a row, leaving at least two people dead and 94 injured on Saturday night.

Time Arc Theatre Begins New Season with Two One-Act Plays
Deer Hunting Enthusiasts Will Have the Chance to Poke Some Fun at the Past During Time Arc Theatre's Season Opener
SUPERIOR, Wisc. – Time Arc Theatre, LLC, is inviting everyone in the community to check out their season opener in Superior with the production of two one-act plays starting Thursday, November 1.
After three years of producing shows, Time Arc Theatre has grown to become an LLC with partners Kathy Laakso, Ed Johnson, John Center and Teddie Meronek.
Laakso appeared Tuesday morning on FOX 21 Local News with cast member Matt Davey.
She tells FOX 21's Brett Scott, with a proposal to do "pop-up theatre" in vacant storefronts downtown, the group asked members of the city administration for help in finding a venue.
The result will be a successful pop-up partnership with Mark Hubbard, owner of the newly renovated Empire Block, who offered the theatre company an ideal arrangement.
Time Arc Theatre will debut their work to the community on Thursday, November 1 with a reception and show to follow.
Laakso and her group will be performing, "Hunting in the North Woods: Two One-Act Plays."
Synopsis: Deer hunting these days is a sport for everyone, but in days past it was mainly a man's sport. "Hunting widows" helped their men get ready for this time-honored ritual that took place for nine days in November deep in the woods. With hunting season soon upon us, Time Arc Theatre opens its season with two one-act plays that poke a little fun at this revered tradition as we go back to the 1960s and women infiltrate the original "man cave" – the hunting shack – in "Hunting in the North Woods: 2 One-Act Plays."
Performance Dates:
November 2 – 4 and November 9 – 11
Evening performances 7:00 p.m.
Sunday performances 2:00 p.m.
Click here to purchase tickets or stop by Earth Exchange, 1713 Belknap Street or Empire Coffee, 1204 Tower Avenue.

Have you ever thought about a proven way concerning how to get leads from Facebook ads? Yes, by virtue of some well-defined marketing strategies some marketers are more successful when it comes to Facebook lead generation campaign. In fact, I have been watching Facebook's marketing experts closely to discover patterns that lead them to see great results with Facebook marketing.
This article aims to cover some tips you should know and that I have seen implemented by a successful Facebook marketing company to obtain results in their online business. I will start with the most important piece of advice that treats Facebook as a sales funnel. You must understand this concept if you want the other councils to fit and complement each other. Then I will explain how to get "potential customers" through Facebook marketing strategy and how you should promote your Facebook audience to get the best results.
Are You Treating Facebook As a Sales Funnel?
Therefore, as I mentioned, I will start with this advice because it is the most important to understand.
If you have been doing Facebook marketing for small business long enough, then you will discover that in order to have a long-term business strategy, you will have to create your list and send it through a funnel in which you will establish a relationship with your audience. Warm them according to your offer, which you can re-promote again thanks to your list.
So, it becomes necessary to explain the significance of Facebook in the form of a sales funnel to make the full use of Facebook advertising as your main social media marketing strategy. This strategy is very effective if it is implemented from the beginning and in a consistent manner.
Begin by observing some Facebook marketing for local business; you have to value each person you connect in the niche. Once you are done with it, we must give importance to two things. First, we have to be able to do the same with that person; we do this by talking to them individually from time to time and sharing tips that can help with your business. Prior to sharing tips, make sure that they are willing to receive it from your end, to ensure safety it makes sense to ask for permission. Make it clear that you want to share Facebook ads for small business as a marketing partner on the Internet.
Secondly, we must post Facebook marketing 2019 suggestions that help our audience in business and a lot of content based on the value that touches the fundamental desires in our timeline. In terms of reachability, your timeline on a fan page is much better and, therefore, it will give you a lot of commitment and the needed brand exposure. The reason behind having a content based on Facebook marketing ideas is to portray yourself as a leader and make people see us as the ideal mentor to lead your business.
Create Your Friend's List And Stay In Touch With Your Current Facebook Audience Every Day
Connect with new people and with previous connections daily to collect leads for your business Facebook ad so that your audience within your niche becomes familiar with you; People love family members, so be sure to be consistent with this course of action.
Secondly, every time you interact with users, your Facebook threads are more likely to appear in your news feed and to participate in your publications, which will increase your chance to get lead from Facebook.
Finally, since we are considering how to use FB ads effectively in the form of the sales funnel, it is important to add new contacts on a regular basis into your "funnel". It is recommended that you get at least 50 people inside your niche per day and distribute them during the day. It is one of the effective Facebook lead generation technique.
Also, reconnect with 10 people who are already on your friend's list so you can increase your participation in your Facebook posts.
Another great way to keep people in your circle and get leads from Facebook is to create a group where you can add them as a connection with your permission and mentioning that it will add many values and share tips in the group that will help you in your business. 99% of people will say that it is okay to add them and every time you post a message to the group, you will be notified through Facebook.

There are so many exciting trends coming in for Summer 2021, but Revolve always has what I need, to complete any trend, especially now that I was planning a vacation and taking many Revolve items with me to spice up the looks. They are simply too good!
Let start with my favorite top right now! Any kind of tops never really goes out of style, but this season, I suggest opting for a colorful shade, like this one for example. This halter wrap top is a huge trend for summer 2021, and it will give your classic look and a touch of sensuality… Best part, there are so many ways of incorporating this halter wrap top into your wardrobe!
One of my favorite jacket to wear is moto jacket and I couldn't be happier that I got this white moto jacket, which is so popular, from Revolve. What I love about this white moto jacket so much is the fact that it offers such an amazing variety of wearing. So today, I'm sharing cute finds in this gorgeous moto jacket! I think this white moto jacket is such a gorgeous to fit cool looks. Whether you opt for a dress or maybe slip dress which is also super trend in 2021, denim or just a coverup, moto jacket (especially white jacket in the summer) offers that perfect look that is entirely stylish and sophisticated. I'm just posing in my Revolve moto jacket right now, but I'm going to fit it just like I told you.
Crochet skirt or crochet dress is another an indispensable trend every summer on the beach, as well summer 2021. Good with pretty much every swimsuits (one piece or two piece), you can wear your crochet skirt and your favorite summer can start. A simple tee or your favorite top as well with different summer shoes, you will be able to combine a crochet skirt. The styling possibilities are endless.
This last outfit basically combines all of my current faves. I 've been searching for the perfect cool shirt and I finally found it! Love this style from Revolve because the fit is amazing. I can wear this shirt in many ways. I can combine it with a cool look, elegant, urban, I can also wear it on the beach with a swimsuit, so the styling possibilities are endless.
I think the key to getting this style right is just have this shirt. Right now, I love pairing my Revolve shirt with high waist shorts. This shirt is a vibe this summer and I think she will look perfect as well when paired with denim, for example. Can't wait to style it that way next time. Speaking of trends in 2021… I really like the pattern on the shirt. So popular fit at the moment!
I'm linking all Revolve items just in case you miss something.
Hope you enjoyed!

Candidate's lawsuit blames Facebook for failed campaign to oust Congressman John Dingell
Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni, a Republican who sought to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. John Dingell in last year's election, is blaming Facebook for his failed campaign.
In a 10-page lawsuit filed in Wayne County Circuit Court, Moughni claims his Facebook page was yanked by the site on June 10, blowing his chances of winning.
"In an attempt to overthrow the Dingell Dynasty, (I) devised a plan to use Facebook to accumulate thousands of friends, who in turn would spread the message and overseat (sic) the longest-serving member of Congress," the suit states.
A Facebook spokesman told the Detroit News that Moughni's account was shut down by a system that "flags suspicious or anomalous behavior.'' The spokesman said the system is designed to guard against harassing behavior, such as sending friend requests to people the user doesn't know or sending large numbers of messages to people who aren't the user's friends on Facebook.
Moughni finished fourth in the Republican primary last August in the 15th District race for the U.S. House, getting just 4 percent of the vote. Republican Rob Steele emerged the victor in the GOP primary but ultimately fell to the longtime incumbent in November.
The 15th District includes Ann Arbor.
Moughni says his lawsuit is serious and was filed to address "the lack of due process at Facebook," but bloggers around the net already are starting to make light of his case.
"I once sat on a plane that was overseated, but I didn't know one could actually do that to a member of Congress," Chris Matyszczyk writes in a piece posted to cnet.com on Thursday.

Notice how politicians are quick to demonize "frivolous lawsuits" denying seriously injured people access to the courthouse, and then turn around and file this nonesense. What a joke.
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 1:53 p.m.
Aww, another white male republican is victimized by a private company and he wants to clog up the courts with a frivolous lawsuit. Can you say h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e? I know you can.
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 1:03 p.m.
Facebook is a private entity. It can do whatever it wants according to its Terms of Service. No "due process" is required. If Mr. Moughni doesn't like it then maybe he can ask for a refund on what he paid Facebook. Oh, wait, it's free...
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 10:11 a.m.
While reading this article, all I could think about was the Geoffrey Fieger commercial where he says there is no such thing as a frivolous law suit, only frivolous defenses
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 2:55 a.m.
With as little as I know about Facebook, I do know this - to market or solicit business (or votes) on Facebook, one must have a "fan page". An individual's page is not designed or allowed to be for anything other than just connecting with friends and family. I wonder if Attorney Moughni knew this, or if his Facebook was a fan page or not.

Why, of course, it's always someone else's fault. Isn't it?
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 9:33 p.m.
LOL Internet. Maybe he should have read the terms and conditions more closely before using or filing against facebook: "WE ARE PROVIDING FACEBOOK "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,..." There is no case or claim here, at all.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 9:10 p.m.
I didn't get his friend request on FB. He left me out. I feel horrible about that. Depressed. Sullen. Anxious. It's affecting my quality of life. I should sue. Where's that list of attorneys?
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 9:41 p.m.
Me either! Looks like we've got enough members for a class action now!
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 7:29 p.m.
Hahahahaaa!!! He didn't try to "friend" me either! Sigh.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 8:06 p.m.
Funny but I did not see any republican post supporting this guy! But yet like everything else step up and blame republicans as a whole for this actions of this nut! Do we need to briong up every democrat nut case? I THINK NOT! But show a little class by not throwing out the rupublicans are to blame card for eveything. It only dillutes any legitimate arguements you put forth!

Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 8 p.m.
Why is he blaming FB? (I mean suing) Really? Heck, Rob Steele, a prominant name put together one heck of a campaign against Dingell and still lost. I think dading's post says it all... Who?
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 6:41 p.m.
Uhm, pure conjecture and speculation that people would have a) accepted his friend request, b) read his messages and c) voted for him. Plus, his damages are limited to the differences between what he gets paid now, and what a salary of a congressional rep is, unless of course he adds the kickbacks and honest graft he was expecting if he got into office. I'm also betting, but don't know, that Facebook has a mandatory arbitration clause in its acceptance of use terms.
Silly Sally
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 6:36 p.m.
I voted for Rob Steele and I'm sure glad that he wasn't the candidate suing. This is sillyness to the max!! Dr. Steele still lost to the Dingelsoarous and Mr. Moughni would have lost by even more. Such a silly suit! I hope that the judge tosses it out so the Dingelsoarous doesn't need to hire a lawyer of his own.

Funny how republicans claim to be in favor of tort reform, property rights, and fewer regulations... But when a private company chooses to ban spammers, then all of a sudden it's time for a lawsuit.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 6:06 p.m.
Maybe I'm off base here, but since FB is a private company, can't they deactivate his account for really any reason they want? I mean, isn't it even the case that they could shut down his account for being a Republican, if they truly wanted to do so?
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 9:35 p.m.
Read the FB terms at the bottom, there is no warranty of any kind for any type or purpose. They can do almost whatever they want basically and at anytime. They could just kick people off willy nilly if they wanted.
Urban Sombrero
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 6:16 p.m.
Absolutely! There's no right to Free Speech on a private website. I have no idea why he's suing or what he's hoping to accomplish, other than getting publicity. (And, I think I hit the nail on the head there at the end, eh?)
Top Cat
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 5:49 p.m.
He has pretty much torpedoed any future shot at elected office. I really wish there was an elected position for Dog Catcher so I could write him in.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 9:36 p.m.
I don't think getting 4% is any sort of shot to begin with, thats almost a statistical error quantity (voted for him by accident by checking the wrong box or confusing his name, etc).
Silly Sally
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 6:37 p.m.
I guess that a cat would like dog catchers and need good ones at that!!

Wah, wah, wah. What a crybaby. Like Facebook is the only medium people use to learn about politicians. I predict this will get tossed out of court with a quickness.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 5:30 p.m.
must be a slow news day to print this story!
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 5:11 p.m.
Turnabout is fair play. Remember, Leigh Greden, an attorney who was endorsed for re-election to Ann Arbor City Council by Congressman Dingell, saw his career in politics tank after he was caught playing on Facebook for over an hour during a City Council meeting. Now Facebook has returned the favor for John Dingell, who gets the last Facebook laugh.
Rod Johnson
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 5:53 p.m.
I'm not sure if I understand this. If Facebook has returned a favor for Dingell, what favor did Dingell do for Facebook?
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 5:02 p.m.
This is another reason I'm not on Facebook...egad.
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 11:27 a.m.
Unlike this venue on FB it's really easy to ignore people you don't want to listen to. There's at least 4.7 good reasons to be on FB, mostly for LAWLZ.
Rod Johnson
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 5:50 p.m.
I think there's a law that in any internet thread mentioning Facebook, at least one person has to make sure everyone knows he's not on Facebook. Thank you for your diligence on this.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:56 p.m.
He didn't read the fine print in the TOS
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:55 p.m.
Attorney Moughni earlier received a bit of notariety for organizing a public rally against Islamic terrorism. He angered a number of local Muslims. He is a personal injury attorney fron eastern Dearborn. I think he will have to show that Facebook breached some contractual provision or acted in bad faith. If Facebook helped him lose the GOP primary, then they probably did him a favor. I think this is another one of his plans to garner publicity which he could noot get in the GOP primary. I am sure Facebook legal counsel will keep him and the judge busy with dismissal motions.
Sat, Mar 5, 2011 : 3:14 p.m.
gee...i actually now like the guy for his rally ( although you probably dont for the same reason)...although you must be ecstatic at the supreme court Phelps cult ruling. see you at SELMA one of these days?? ( i'll be there on the 18th).
dading dont delete me bro

Notice that he never denied sending the spam ( unsolicited friend requests and emails). Facebook does have rules and policies and if you don't follow them, you get deactivated. But...aaahh..wait...he is one of those republicans who thinks rules and procedures are for "other" people. He is a do as I say, not as I do sort of Republican. Good riddance.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:46 p.m.
"Moughni finished fourth in the Republican primary last August in the 15th District race for the U.S. House, getting just 4 percent of the vote." Looks like the voters made the right decision. Also sound to me like the guy has too much time on his hands....maybe not enough clients? Can't understand why given his obvious grasp of the Queen's English. Given a choice between him and Dingell, I may have even chosen Dingell. (I just threw up a little in my mouth.)
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:45 p.m.
sooo...the guy wanted to , in effect, spam the vote and now wants to blame the intended spam vehicle for catching on. Nice! Welcome to 'planet facebook'..(.which actually may not be all that great ,as events unfold from the middle east to teaparty america).
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:45 p.m.
Please let us know how this lawsuit goes. Should be interesting and a good reflection on this man.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:42 p.m.
Yeah, lawsuits solve everything. Suing Facebook is laughable. But then he is a Republican and probably in favor of tort reform. I'm afraid to think of the havoc he could create with a 4G smartphone, if he knew how to use it.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:42 p.m.
Yeah, it was totally facebook's fault and not the fact that few people thought he was a viable candidate in an election that was likely to go to the incumbent anyway.
Fri, Mar 4, 2011 : 4:30 p.m.
Poor man. To so publicly expose his own lack of judgment shows a certain, well, lack of judgment.

text: A majority of individuals living in the U.S. experience unhealthy levels of stress; however, romantic partners can help mitigate stress' deleterious effects by coping together (dyadic coping). The Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) measures coping behaviors when one or both partners experience stress. Specifically, the DCI measures a) partner's self-report of his/her own (Self) and their partner's (Partner) behavior, and b) Common DC during the experience of a common stressor. Despite its wide use, the DCI has not yet been validated for use in the United States (U.S.). The aim of this study was to address this gap in the literature. Using a sample of 938 individuals in the U.S. currently involved in a romantic relationship, we validated the English version of the DCI by analyzing its factorial structure and psychometric properties. Results supported the theoretically assumed factorial structure of the DCI. Convergent and discriminant validity, as well as measurement invariance across gender and culture using the original Swiss sample, was confirmed. The English version of the DCI is a valid self-report instrument for assessing couples' coping in the U.S.

Misguided U.S. policies towards Mexico and the U.S.-Mexico border region have led to thousands of deaths, human rights abuses on both sides of the border, and a decline in security and respect for the rule of law. LAWG calls on the United States to abandon these failed policies, including militarization of the border, in favor of an approach that emphasizes human rights and accountability while addressing the root causes of our countries' shared challenges.

Do you think we are missing an alternative of recrypt or a related project?
A pure-Rust library that implements a set of cryptographic primitives for building a multi-hop Proxy Re-encryption scheme, known as Transform Encryption.
What is Transform Encryption?
Suppose you have two (public, private) key pairs: (A, AA) and (B, BB).
Transform Encryption allows data encrypted to one public key (A) to be transformed so that it can be decrypted using another user's private key (BB). This transformation process requires a special transform key (A -> B) that is computed using the first user's private key (AA) and the second user's public key (B). Having a transform key and performing the transformation does not allow the person doing this process to decrypt the data or to recover either user's private key.
See the Single-hop Transform Encryption Example for more details on computing a transform key and applying a transform using recrypt.
If you are building an application and would like to use Transform Encryption, you might try looking at the IronCore SDKs as they provide higher level of abstraction as part of the IronCore Privacy Platform:
- ironoxide - Pure Rust implementation of IronCore's Privacy Platform.
- ironoxide-java - Java bindings for
ironoxide. Appropriate for all JVM languages.
- ironoxide-scala - Scala wrappers around
- ironode - NodeJS implementation of IronCore's Privacy Platform.
All SDKs are intended to be compatible with one another.
Rust Dependency
See https://crates.io/crates/recrypt for the most recent version.
Other bindings
In addition to the native Rust implementation, we provide additional bindings to Recrypt:
A Scala implementation of recrypt is also available.
API Documentation and Example Usage
Security and Audits
NCC Group's Cryptography Services team has conducted an audit of this library - release 0.6.2 contains all of the audited code, including updates that were created to resolve issues that were discovered during the audit. The NCC Group audit found that the chosen pairing and elliptic curve are cryptographically sound, and that the Rust implementation is a faithful and correct embodiment of the target protocol. In addition, the audit confirmed that the implementation does not leak secret information via timing or memory access pattern side-channel attacks.

Relation to Proxy Re-Encryption
In the academic literature, transform encryption is referred to as proxy re-encryption. A proxy re-encryption (PRE) scheme is a public-key encryption scheme, where each participant has a pair of related keys, one public and one private, which are mathematically related. Alice encrypts a message to Bob using his public key, and Bob decrypts the encrypted message using his public key to retrieve the original message.
PRE allows someone (the delegator) to delegate the ability to decrypt her messages to another person (the delegatee). Rather than just sharing her private key with the delegatee, the delegator computes a transform key (or re-encryption key) that allows messages encrypted to her public key to be transformed so they appear can be decrypted using the delegatee's private key. Computing this transform key requires the delegator's private key and the delegatee's public key; once it is computed, the key is stored on a semi-trusted proxy.
When the proxy receives a message encrypted to the delegator, it applies the transform algorithm using the transform key and delivers the transformed message to the delegatee. The proxy does not need to be trusted, because possession of the transform key does not allow the proxy to decrypt the message or to recover any information about either the delegator's or the delegatee's private keys, even if it collaborates with the delegatee.
When the delegator no longer wants to allow access, she just requests that the proxy discard the transform key. She must trust the proxy to perform this action.
PRE Scheme Properties
There are a number of ways to categorize PRE schemes; some of the most important are the following:
- Directionality describes whether delegate from A to B also allows transformation from B to A. Unidirectional schemes do not allow this.
- Interactivity describes whether both parties must be actively involved in order to generate the transform key. A non-interactive scheme only requires the public key of the delegatee.
- Transitivity describes whether a proxy can re-delegate encryption. That is, if the proxy holds a transform key from A to B and a transform key from B to C, can it generate a transform key from a to C? A non-transitive scheme does not allow this.
- Collusion safety describes whether it is possible for a delegatee to collude with the proxy that holds a transform key to that delegatee in order to recover the private key of the delegator. A collusion-safe scheme does not allow this.
- Multi-hop describes whether it is possible to allow a delegatee to also be a delegator. That is, does the scheme allow a ciphertext that has already been transformed from Alice to Bob to subsequently be transformed from Bob to Carol. In a multi-hop situation, the proxies would chain the transformations, so any delegatee in the chain could decrypt any message that one of her delegators could decrypt.
The Recrypt library implements a PRE scheme that is unidirectional, non-interactive, non-transitive, collusion-safe, and multi-hop.
The PRE algorithm implemented here was originally suggested in a short paper titled "A Fully Secure Unidirectional and Multi-user Proxy Re-encryption Scheme" by H. Wang and Z. Cao, published in the proceedings of the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) in 2009. The algorithm was enhanced in a paper titled "A Multi-User CCA-Secure Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme" by Y. Cai and X. Liu, published in the proceedings of the IEEE 12th International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic, and Secure Computing in 2014.
We provide a synopsis of the algorithms, along with a description of how they can be used to implement an access control system, in the paper "Cryptographically Enforced Orthogonal Access Control at Scale" by B. Wall and P. Walsh, published in SCC '18, the proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Security in Cloud Computing in 2018.
The algorithms in these papers were very generic and made no implementation choices. They specified only the use of a bilinear pairing function. We made a number of implementation choices. Foremost, we use the optimal Ate pairing as our pairing function. This requires a "pairing-friendly" elliptic curve; we chose a Barreto-Naehrig curve, which supports efficient implementation of the pairing.
Our implementation was guided by the following papers:
"Pairing-Friendly Elliptic Curves of Prime Order" by P.S.L.M. Barreto and M. Naehrig, published in Proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC), 2006, pp. 319-331.

Crypto has had a rough start to the year with cryptocurrencies and crypto equities alike all falling as investors face rising interest rates and shuffle allocations around accordingly. Amplify ETFs' flagship crypto fund, the Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK ), reviewed its tactical choices as an actively managed fund in the most recent newsletter and highlighted the current potential strength in crypto mining investment, as well as forward-looking estimates for crypto mining this year.
BLOK invests broadly across a spectrum of crypto equities that are associated with the development and use of blockchain technology. While diversification can help hedge against some volatility and loss, when there is a system-wide shock, such as soaring inflation, that causes short-term price changes and volatility, no amount of diversification can defend against loss. Accordingly, BLOK was down 18.05% in January.
When evaluating the securities that the fund is invested in, the portfolio managers made the decision to add to the crypto miners because of a belief in the strength of their operating models. What's more, they have raised the bar on any new crypto mining additions that might be considered for the fund going forward.
"It is clear at this point that crypto mining operating scale is now essential as measured against the rising difficulty rate," the authors write. "Unless a mining company has built a proper strategic capital plan that assumes the mining difficulty rate will double in 2022, we will not consider them to be a viable operator."
This year and the challenging market conditions will likely bring failures for some of the smallest mining companies and those that haven't built to scale properly, and Amplify expects to see an increase in consolidations. On the flip side, it anticipates that bitcoin will reach new price horizons driven by both increasing institutional investment and supply limitations that are favorable for price increases.
"Blips in the Bitcoin price trend may occur as smaller miners are forced to liquidate some of their Bitcoin positions to meet capital obligations for future build-outs. As a result, we believe that revenue from crypto mining may eclipse the 2021 record of $31 billion and be dominated by North American companies," the authors write.
BLOK Invests in Miners and Other Crypto Equities
For investors who want access to the growing crypto space through an actively managed fund that is able to respond to changing market conditions, the Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK ) can be a great solution.
BLOK currently has over $1 billion in AUM, is actively managed, and invests in companies directly involved in developing and using blockchain technology. BLOK was also the first blockchain ETF approved by the SEC and launched in 2018.
The fund invests in companies partnered with or directly investing in companies utilizing and developing blockchain technologies. However, the fund does not invest directly in blockchain technology or cryptocurrencies.
BLOK spreads its holdings across the size spectrum, investing in all market caps. As of the end of December, top allocations within the blockchain industry included transactional at 38.0%, crypto miners at 23.0%, and venture at 11%. BLOK invests across the blockchain landscape, in miners, exchanges, and developers.
BLOK has an expense ratio of 0.71% and currently has 45 holdings.

Linguistic reconstruction
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Related e
Linguistic reconstruction is the practice of establishing the features of the unattested ancestor (proto-language) of one or more given languages. There are two kinds of reconstruction. Internal reconstruction uses irregularities in a single language to make inferences about an earlier stage of that language. Comparative reconstruction, usually referred to just as reconstruction, establishes features of the ancestor of two or more related languages by means of the comparative method.
Reconstructed terms or phrases are prefaced with an asterisk (*), to distinguish them from attested terms.

That Brahmha alone is real and the entire world of names and forms are unreal (mithya) ; the living being is verily Brahmha and is not different ! The above statement of the world teacher Shankaracharya, the H.O.D of the philosophy of Non-dual Reality, was extremely popular among the scholars of Hindu philosophy.
I do not know how many of us today appreciate the above idea, and also how many of us can accept it. I also do not know whether or not, the modern scholar even cares to know this. 'Appreciation of an idea', slightly differs from 'Acceptance of an idea'. For example; I appreciate the idea that smoking is injurious to health, and yet I smoke, because I have not accepted the idea.
If any reader wishes to have an elaboration on this matter, I shall respond to his/her blog, because, Brahmha gyan should not be discussed in market place.

"With the Walther PPQ M2 there's no need to compromise. It combines the features of firing pellets and a blowback slide. Realistic recoil is combined with maximum precision. Unlike many other models, the PPQ M2 feeds the 4.5 mm pellets from its magazine by means of a chain. Besides accommodating a 12 g CO₂ cartridge, the magazine has space for 21 rounds. The slide jumps back with every shot, producing a strong recoil. A rifled barrel ensures tight groupings. In appearance this CO₂-powered airgun cuts a good figure alongside modern service pistols, with original dimensions, a heavy metal slide and a polymer frame with non-slip Hi-Grip surface."
