High Wire Revival Jimmy Red Oloroso Sherry Cask Jimmy Red Whiskey
To make this one-of-a-kind spirit, we finished our beloved 30 month old Jimmy Red Bourbon for an additional 6 months in fresh 225L Oloroso Sherry casks. The nose is sherry-forward with nutty cashew and cinnamon spice. Tasting notes include brown sugar, maple, gingerbread, graham cracker, light baking spice, and dried fruit with a caramel finish. (93 proof/750ml)
Rescued from near extinction by Ted Chewning, Jimmy Red corn was already making waves in the culinary world when we opened our doors in 2013. Named for James Island just over the bridge from Charleston and heralded by Chef Sean Brock, Jimmy Red was a legendary moonshiner's corn that had dwindled down to a mere 2 cobs following the death of the last man known to grow it. His family gave the seeds to Ted who began the arduous process of bringing it back to life. Through the efforts of folks like Ted, Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills, Greg Johnsman of Geechie Boy Mill, and Sean Brock, Jimmy Red corn seed reserves were slowly being rebuilt. In 2015, thanks to the diligence of Dr. David Shields of University of South Carolina, Jimmy Red corn was accepted as a new addition to the Slow Food Ark of Taste, an international catalog of endangered heritage foods.
In early 2014, just a few months after we opened, Glenn Roberts entrusted us with enough Jimmy Red corn seed to grow 2.5 acres. We grew it in partnership with Dr. Brian Ward at Clemson University and harvested enough corn to distill 2 batches of the most unique bourbon we have ever tasted. With each passing year, our planted acreage of Jimmy Red has grown exponentially with an expected harvest of 250,000 pounds in 2017.
Jimmy Red corn is the most remarkable corn we've ever worked with. Nutty, sweet, and mineralic with an extremely high oil content, the fermented mash produces a 3" thick oil cap. We distill on the grain, so all of that oil is blended back into the mash and provides an unusually creamy mouthfeel in the distillate. The Jimmy Red whiskey is aged for a minimum of 2 years, creating a straight bourbon unlike any other we've ever experienced.

Real Madrid and Sevilla played out a dramatic 2-2 draw that has thrown up so many talking points. Here comes a look at the questions that were answered and the refereeing controversies that are now being discussed in the aftermath.
Three answers
1. Could Real Madrid capitalise on the Camp Nou draw?
After the goalless draw between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid on Saturday, there was a lot of celebrating in Real Madrid circles. Suddenly the title was in their hands, as four wins from the final four games would guarantee Los Blancos top spot. So, could they capitalise? Well, no. This was always going to be a tough game given Sevilla's quality and Real Madrid's absences and it's just a draw for Zinedine Zidane's side. That means Atleti stay top for a 27th matchday in a row. If Atleti win their final three matches, they're now guaranteed the title.
2. Would Hazard respond to his critics?
Between the Chelsea game and this one, Eden Hazard was the centre of attention. Not just because of the controversy created from the images of him laughing, but also because of how ineffective his performance at Stamford Bridge was in general. So, how would he respond? He already published an Instagram apology, but would he now do some talking on the pitch? Well, he wasn't given a start and didn't come on until the 79th minute. The Belgian had a poor control that gave Sevilla a throw-in shortly after coming on, but then got a bit of a lucky touch on Toni Kroos' shot to direct it past Bono. That won't be enough to win back most Real Madrid fans, but it's a start. Let's see if he now starts midweek in Granada.
3. How would Marcelo and Odriozola manage the flanks?
Due to injuries, Real Madrid had to go with Marcelo and Álvaro Odriozola in the full-back roles this game, which is always a cause for concern for fans. They weren't bad in general and Odriozola put in a very good cross in the first half for Benzema to score… only for the goal to be ruled out because the Basque had been offside. But, they were the ones responsible for conceding the first Sevilla goal as they were both marking Ivan Rakitić, before completely leaving the Croatian to allow him to set up Fernando.
Three questions
1. Did the referees get the big penalty call right?
This is obviously the big post-match question. After Juan Martínez Munuera went to look at the VAR monitor with a quarter of an hour to go, he was definitely going to award a penalty. It was just a question of for who. Sevilla wanted one for an Éder Militão handball, while Real Madrid wanted one for the foul on Karim Benzema in the resulting breakaway. The referee's decision was to give the Militão handball one, thus cancelling the Benzema incident entirely. Was that the right call? By the current handball rule, yes. That is a penalty. Another question is whether some other similar incidents have been called the same way. On other instances, incidents like that have been ignored.
2. Why is nobody talking about the Casemiro freekick?
The penalty incident is the main talking point. But, as mentioned above, I believe the penalty call tonight was actually right. But, almost nobody is talking about the first Sevilla goal, when the visitors were given a freekick for a Casemiro challenge on Joan Jordán that didn't look like a foul. The Brazilian then protested and even got booked for his arguments, just 21 minutes into the game. That was costly.
3. Can Kroos carry Real Madrid over the final three matches?
Toni Kroos was outstanding in this game, from start to finish. At this moment, he looks to be the only of the starting midfield trio who isn't completely exhausted. Casemiro and Luka Modrić look drained, so can Kroos carry this midfield and lead Real Madrid to the title? There are three matches remaining to be played over the next two weeks. Real Madrid need some energy. Kroos is one of the few who seems to have any right now.

Click to Join our Meeting for Worship
Mark 6:30–34 (ESV)
30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. 33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
Mark 6:53–56 (ESV)
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him 55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.
How has your week been? How many items did you have in your schedule? Did you get them all completed or are you thinking right of what you need to do as soon as the meeting for worship is over? We live in a culture that almost takes pride in being busy. If someone does not have to look at their calendar when you ask to meet with them, we almost feel as if they are lazy. And we almost feel embarrassed if we do not have at least one event conflicting with potential meetings. The conversation around juggling schedules is replacing idle chit chat about the weather, mainly because having an opinion about the weather would require us to slow down to notice if there are clouds or not.
We are a busy culture. When I was in Ukraine, I was constantly annoyed that people did not show up to meetings on time. I was annoyed that the trains were not where they said they would be when they said they would be there. I was annoyed that people did not have a sense of urgency. And I get back home and begin work in a corporate world, and my supervisors are telling me that I do not have enough sense of urgency. I have been told that I am too laid back and need care more. I have always found this to be surprising, and to be honest I would venture to say that those supervisors did not know me nor how I work.
In today's passage, we see Jesus and the disciples in a bit of a different way. Usually, the gospel accounts have Jesus doing the ministry and the disciples just following him around. But today, is a bit different. Jesus is the one sitting around and the disciples are the ones that are on the move. Jesus sent the disciples out. He sent them to the surrounding villages around his hometown to minister. He told them to go. He advised them to put on their durable shoes and to grab a walking stick and nothing else. Do not pack a bag, do not run to the bank to get some cash from the ATM, he did not even want them to pack a lunch. Just go. And he gave them the authority over unclean spirit, he gave them the power and authority to do pretty much everything they had watch him do.
Jesus sends them out, but what does he do in the meantime? He morns his cousin's death. Jesus sends out the twelve, giving them authority over unclean spirits, and they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. They cast out demons and anointed many who were sick with oil and brought about healing. And while they do that, we got that weird interlude in Mark's gospel where we discuss the growing fame of Jesus' name and Herod's guilty conscience. Jesus sent out his disciples to give himself space.
We do not see this interlude as Jesus's grief. Even though I spoke about the passage last week I did not present it in this manner, but if we consider the scene. The twelve are out wandering in the villages, expanding the ministry of Christ. And Jesus is alone, and maybe he joined with John's disciples as they carried his body to the tomb.
Today, the disciples are making their way back to where Jesus was. They are sharing various stories and are filled infectious excitement. Do we sense the excitement? I want us to remember the Monday after the Chiefs won the super bowl. How many of us remember the score at the beginning of the 3rd quarter? How many of us remember as the opposing team posed for a picture after scoring a touchdown assured that they were going to win? How many of us remember the remarkable comeback? The conversations the Monday after were filled with commentary, smart phones were replaying highlights, and pretty much everyone was talking about the game. I remember that day, I remember how the supervisors at the store expected little to get accomplished that day, and their expectations were not far from correct.
That was just a football game. What the disciples experienced was far beyond even being present at the live event. They had watch people around them being released from spiritual bondage. They were seeing illnesses that crippled the afflicted leaving the body and lives being restored. We have trouble remembering how to tell the punchline of a joke at times, imagine trying to explain atrophied muscles becoming firm and toned.
They did not want to stop talking. They were excited to tell their stories and to hear the stories that the other groups had to share. Each group most likely brought people along with them to tell stories as well. We are not told this explicitly but if the story is too good to be true but it really is true, you would want to bring a witness or two to corroborate what you had to say. People are coming and going. Stories are shared, laughs are heard. There is so much traffic in and out that the disciples and Jesus could not even take a break, even to eat.
Have you had a day like that? I worked in retail for the past eleven years. I understand this kind of busy. There are days where the stores that I have worked at buy food for their employees for one reason, the stores are so busy that if they did not have food readily available their employees would not take the time to eat. It is not that they wanted them to work that hard there was just too much to do. When a store is preparing for inventory, the day when every item in the store is counted, employees are not thinking about food, they want to make sure their area is ready to go. When the Black Friday event begins and customers are herding into the aisles a retail working is not thinking about when their lunch break will come, because they are too busy helping their customers find the hot deal on an instapot. We have days like this. I am sure that during tax season accountants have their schedule booked so tightly they are lucky to have time to eat a granola bar within the course of their workday, and I know that during harvest farmers wives often must remind their husbands that sleep is necessary.
The camp of the disciples was busy. The excitement was at monumental levels. And I can just imagine that Jesus was probably having a great time watching and listening. But he also knew that the human body cannot endure that kind of stress for long.
Adrenaline is an amazing biochemical produced within our bodies. It can enable our bodies to perform in nearly superhuman ways, but it comes with side effects. The presence of this hormone causes the muscles in the body to become stimulated. The heart beats faster, our legs might begin to twitch, our senses become more alert. This happens because we are on edge, ready to respond quickly in instance of danger. The body then begins to produce more glucose so that the muscles can have the energy to continue to function at this heightened state. Our bodies are using more glucose so if we do not eat eventually our bodies will become hypoglycemic. To combat this the liver kicks into action converting the fats in our body into usable energy. This sounds great, but what happens if we are not actually using the energy?
Adrenaline is produced during high stress. This can be positive or negative stress. If positive we are usually working hard or exercising. The negative stress is the problem. Doctors will tell us to do things to relieve stress in our lives because its hard on our heart, or maybe because we are borderline diabetic. The reason they say this is because when we are stressed mentally our bodies still respond in the same way as if a dog were chasing us, but our muscles are not using energy so the adrenaline is pumping our body full of extra sugars with nowhere to go. Eventually when that is not used, the glucose is converted back into fat which usually is stored in places like the liver, or around the heart. Negative stress, the stress from work, and misplace anxiety contribute to our nation's obesity problem. It is not only the amount of sugar we consume. It is the stress with no healthy outlet.
I am not saying that Jesus knew the potential health risk of unchecked stress, but he could have he is God. What I am saying is Jesus understood that once the body runs on adrenaline for a while a crash is imminent. While we are in the zone, we do not know how close we are to that crash. In our mind we have never been better. Our mind is clicking, our actions are honed with precision, but with each beat of the heart we are closer to that crash. That moment when we have no more to give, and our bodies fail us. If we are an athlete the crash might be an injury something like a pulled muscle, or a twisted ankle. For me, I will be writing away thinking everything is flowing perfectly and suddenly, my brain seems to stop. I cannot type, I cannot even think. It is as if the transmission of my brain popped out of gear and the clutch is out of sync and I cannot get things reengaged no matter how hard I try.
Jesus sees this in the eyes of his disciples, and he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while." Rest. Stop. Take a break. Go on vacation. Retreat.
Just when things were beginning to click, Jesus looks at them and says, "let's take a break." Imagine the shock of this. It would be like the coach of the football team calling a time out right when the momentum of the game was beginning to go their way. "Come away by yourselves," Jesus says and he wants to show them and let them experience the holy rhythm that He lives.
I speak of this holy rhythm often. Enough that if you do not have it memorized after attending our meeting for a couple of months you have probably not been listening. Jesus's holy rhythm is worship, prayer, and service. He made it his custom to worship. He withdrew to isolated places to pray, and the ministered to the need within the community. This rhythm is important for many reasons that stretch beyond the spiritual life. You can even apply this at work. Worship is celebration or remembering accomplishments. Prayer is taking a step back to examine what we are doing and looking at things from a different perspective. And service is reengaging a project. It is a holy and healthy rhythm to incorporate into your life.
But often we forget to "come away." That coming away is in the center of the rhythm. It is in the center for a reason because it is the pivot of the cycle. If we put all our attention into service or ministry. If all our energy is on the work we need to accomplish, we might get a great deal done, but are we improving? In a football game, it is important for the offense to be on the field as long as possible. When your team's offense is on the field that means you have control of the game. The defense is extremely important but if the defense is on the field too much you have lost control. Your defense must be strong, for the simple fact that it keeps your offense on the field.
If all we do is work, or ministry. If we are on the go all the time. It is like the defense is on the field all the time. When the defense is on the field mistakes are made and the other team gains the upper hand. When all we are focused on is the task right in front of us at any one moment, we are not able to see what is coming. When a department manager in a store is too busy stocking the shelves and not investigating the inventory levels eventually, they will sell out of items at the worst possible time. Ministry or work is immediate it right in front of us. We must do it now, those that live only in that place are highly stress. They might feel like they are keeping up, but eventually they will start to fall behind, because they have not had the time to anticipate what is coming up. If a factory pushes too hard to fulfill the orders and they do not come away to do routine maintenance, the machinery will break down causing greater harm. If a truck driver keeps driving and does not stop to rest an accident will eventually happen. We need to rest. We need to slow things down so we can regain control and perspective.
Jesus taught us that the sabbath was made for man not man for the sabbath. God gave us the sabbath not because he required that day for us to worship him, but we need that day. We need a day to stop what we are doing so that we can reengage life with renewed energy. And sabbath is not just worship on a Sunday morning. Sabbath is an intentional and disciplined. It is routine maintenance of our physical and spiritual life. It is there to remind us of what is most important, and why we do what we do.
After the disciples joined Jesus in this sabbath retreat, we see Jesus coming ashore, he sees a great crowd, and he has compassion on them. He has compassion because they were like sheep without a shepherd. I want us to focus on this as we enter our time of Holy Expectancy. A sheep without a shepherd is chaos, fear, despair. Sheep without a shepherd are wondering around without direction. They are eating the grass, following only their mouth and their stomach, until they are lost and vulnerable to attack. A sheep without a shepherd is the state of mind we find ourselves in when we live our busy lives without time to come away and rest. One thing after another, the next task, the next project, the next, the next. Wondering eating one blade of grass after another until we are lost and vulnerable. Yes, we might be working on good things, things that have great importance, even righteous importance but what is the cost? Come away, take a break, go on vacation, get some rest. Develop a holy rhythm in life, because the things that you are doing have great importance, and the offense needs to be on the field.

'India is in quite a good position to meet the new crash requirements for pedestrians as well as occupants.'
Spain's Applus+ IDIADA Group is eyeing new business in safety, powertrain, ADAS and green mobility in India. Mandeep Singh Tack, director, Business Unit India, in an exclusive interview.
Spain's Applus+ IDIADA Group, which specialises in providing design, engineering, testing and homologation services to the global automotive industry, is eyeing business opportunities in the areas of safety, powertrain, ADAS and green mobility. Mandeep Singh Tack, director, Business Unit India, Applus+ IDIADA Group, tells Amit Panday that it is also keen to explore the surging tractor and two-wheeler markets in India.
What are the core areas of focus within the automotive industry for Applus IDIADA in India?
IDIADA is involved with clients pretty much across the range of transport solutions. Currently, we are focusing upon passenger cars, commercial vehicles (both trucks and buses – medium and heavy duty), and we are also foraying into the tractor market as well.
Can you throw some light on Applus IDIADA's engineering setup in India?
We have a full-fledged engineering setup here. We have about 150 engineers focusing mainly on the interior and exterior designs, passive safety simulation, NVH (noise-vibrationharshness) simulation, vehicle dynamics, brake durability and brake analysis, durability and testing, and other areas. We have a new workshop in Pune now to handle these types of projects for vehicle validation programs.
How does Applus IDIADA see the evolving automotive market in India along with the new opportunities around safety and emissions that are mushrooming for an R&D service provider?
For Bharat NCAP, I think that the larger players (in the auto industry) are quite well equipped with the requirements for meeting the norms. A lot of effort has already gone into putting the right solutions and architectures in place. So, I think, it may be the smaller players, the ones with smaller volumes or ones operating in the niche segments, who may need the additional support. We are working with some of them on these types of opportunities with help from our experts from Spain as well.
IDIADA is very focused on passive safety. We are one of the members of the board of the Euro NCAP. Passive safety is one of our key forte areas. I think India is in quite a good position to meet the new requirements for crash for pedestrians as well as occupants.
Besides vehicle makers, do you also work with Tier 1 component suppliers in India?
Our engagement with Tier 1 component suppliers is very little at the moment. Our main focus is on the OEMs. We work with the Tier 1s in relation to, may be, bumper systems development or cockpit development. So Tier 1 manufacturers who outsource their engineering work to us or when the OEMs nominate us to take up such projects while supplier(s) take care of the manufacturing portion only.
Body-in-white supplier Gestamp, another company from Spain, says that with Bharat NCAP kicking in, most OEMs have to shift from cold stamping to hot stamping technology to improve upon safety of the exteriors of the vehicles along with cutting down the weight. Is Applus IDIADA working with these companies that are directly associated with the safety features of vehicles?
We design the vehicle and we are involved from the concept phase. We help in defining the sections, we guide them in terms of selecting the right materials and technologies. So, in terms of working closely with a company providing body-in-white (BIW), I would say no. This is pretty much across the group because we are working directly for the OEMs.
We work from the very early phases of the project where our inputs are required; the client comes to us for required design solutions. And then, at one point, the OEM decides that we should go for the Tier 1 supplier and which Tier 1 supplier to go for.
We are involved in the project development from stages a lot earlier than where the component suppliers step in. However, in some cases, a Tier 1 is nominated as the preferred partner directly by the OEM, like the company you just mentioned. So they may be doing all the passive safety work and may also be doing the crash simulations as part of their ongoing support to that client.
We don't really focus heavily on Tier 1 component suppliers. Many of them (component suppliers) do lot of research and technology development not just on the BIW but also on the systems development front and they collaborate with the OEMs too across stages.
On the other hand, what we do is we take the best solutions from the market remaining independent at the same time. So yes, we can integrate with different suppliers at different stages. But we try to give solutions that best-fits the needs of the client / OEM.
Since you mentioned safety as one of your core areas of focus, has Applus worked with two-wheeler companies in India? The domestic twowheeler market here is the biggest in the world.
We have made very small progress in the two-wheeler segment and it's one area where we definitely want to move into. We actually had some discussions with one of the suspension systems suppliers that may be wanting to collaborate with us. But I think you are right. The two-wheeler market has not got its due as it gets understood as a category with low-value products, some companies are not willing to pay for engineering support as they keep a lot of developments in-house. However, I think the two-wheeler market really has a lot of potential for engineering companies and we would like to explore it further.
Several European two wheeler companies now upping the ante in India. Other than KTM and Triumph Motorcycles, BMW Motorrad is the latest entrant to have started manufacturing sub- 500cc motorcycles locally. Does Applus plans to bank upon its relationship with European clients for business in India?
It's true that we work with a lot of OEMs globally. Obviously, when an OEM is willing to explore a market in India, then whatever area(s) of expertise we supply them with in Spain or Germany or Czech Republic, we try to make sure that our capabilities are built up and we are very much aligned with the integration and ensure that the knowledge is transferred.
One of the key aspects for delivery is to show that we have the necessary skills and resources built up here to complement and support projects from both areas. This is so because a lot of OEMs don't want to purely rely on European expertise because the costs make the projects uncompetitive. So you want to build up the capabilities here. This is what we are doing here.
What are your priority areas in India, going forward? Applus does not offer powertrain development capabilities?
Our headquarters has about 200 powertrain engineers and we don't develop engines from scratch. Instead, we focus on integrating new engineering inputs. For example, the new BS VI norms will require tuning and re-calibration of engines. This is one of our key areas of expertise and we will be reinforcing a team on this in Pune for new opportunities. We think there is a lot of scope both in terms of capacities and engineering support.
What does Applus IDIADA offer on the front of vehicle dynamics?
Our clients have been appreciating our services on the front of vehicle dynamics, both from our experts in our headquarters and from what we have been developing here over the past two years.
We now have the right instrumentation in place to undertake objective testing. We have built up the capabilities of our engineers here to undertake subjective testing as well for both ride comfort and handling, which are the main attributes.
So things are now really taking off and we are getting good feedback from our clients.
The Applus team in India is speaking about ADAS associated functionalities for the first time and you even displayed ADAS technology at SIAT earlier this year. Are you beginning to build your team and competencies around that also in India now?
Our clients wanted us to look at the different aspects of ADAS. The ADAS solutions have to be tailored for the Indian market. Let's take an example of emergency braking. There are many crashes and fatalities in India, especially in commercial vehicles and in night-time driving. So having a system, which could operate between medium to high speeds on highways and expressways, something tailored to the locality, could help save lives and reduce the costs of insurance as well.
We don't have a team dealing in ADAS for the India market. We still rely on our experts based overseas who come over here to understand the project and deliver accordingly. But ADAS is clearly on the radar for India.
Autonomous driving for India, on the other hand, is decades away. We may have more cruise controlrelated systems and ADASrelated systems. But these again need to be tailored to suit the Indian conditions. A lot of these systems rely on good road markings, which need tremendous improvements in India. Fundamental definitions of lanes and others have to improve here in order to support autonomous driving in India.

First Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book; there were a lot of deep lining issues that I'm sure are dealt with every day in real life. I felt this was a coming of age book, a girl who thinks nothing of herself but everything of her older sister. But what happens when that older sister is no longer there? Definitely a book that causes you to sympathize with the main character and be able to step in their shoes just for a little bit; to experience what its like to live her life…definitely an emotional and beautiful story.
I really enjoyed the plot of this book, I especially enjoyed the ending, the way that the author chose to end it seemed so realistic and real, I didn't really feel like any of the elements in this plot/story were unrealistic. The emotions and scenes really seemed to follow the thinking pattern of the character and didn't feel off or even rushed…everything just seemed perfectly aligned in this aspect. I really enjoyed each scene, they seemed to follow together. And as far as the pace of the book it was a very quick read for me, I was able to read this book within a one days period, I guess when you get absorbed in the books world it can really make you finish the story faster. I enjoyed the emotional ride of this book, there weren't really any scenes where I cried but there were those moments that made you feel for the character; to be able to really understand the inner working of her mind and understand why she acts the way she does. There were times of highs and times of lows and they each blended so well together that the overall experience was unique and realistic. Though the emotions were strong at times, I wouldn't really call it RAW emotion, just more of the kind of emotion that makes you feel and understand the character. The sub-plots in the storyline really helped create a better understanding of the sister in this story and I really enjoyed the conflict it added; it helped the beautiful transformation in this book. So overall I felt the plot was really thought out and organized, it was a quick and fun read.
The romance was gentle in this book; it wasn't really all about the character finding someone who could love her…it was more about the character discovering herself and how wonderful she is on her own. But there was romance and it was okay I wouldn't necessarily say it was the best romance ever, there were a few issues to me in this aspect, it kind of just seemed off in a way that I can't really pin point but overall it was an okay aspect but necessarily and important aspect of the book.
The main protagonist was created really well; we were really able to grab a sense of how she felt and what she thought. The author allowed the reader to get a sense of how her mind worked and the thinking process of her mind. As for the other characters some of them were well created and some weren't, some of the characters fell flat and could have used a few more touches to make them really adjust to the world. The minor characters were well placed though, I felt at times they were just as important as the main character herself, they helped solve certain issues and helped the main character understand something about herself and the conflicts around her. The grandfather of one of the characters was really an essential character and I felt he was actually one of my favorite characters in the book. So overall where there were a few issues with some of the characters the others were well created and placed.
Transformation of the Character:
There were two transformations that took place in this book, one was so beautiful and amazing to experience and it was very much noticeable but I also felt that there was going to be more to the transformation even after this book ended but the reader had to assume that the rest of the transformation was going to take place and it was very well executed. The other transformation was smaller and I'm still trying to decide if it was a transformation or more of the character discovering something they already have but either way I really enjoyed this aspect of the book.
The description in the book was really good at times and lacking at others. There was mixed feelings on how well the scenery was described. The emotion though was really well described; I was able to really able to feel the emotions through the description of the characters thoughts and views. As far as the scenes themselves, some of them were really detailed and allowed the reader to really grasp where the character was and how she was feeling while at other times the scenes seemed to feel rushed and a little un-organized and scrambled. I really couldn't grasp what the scene looked like. But overall the description was good just needed a few tweaking's on some of the scenes.
I enjoyed the author's style and how she chose to use first person and from one POV. It really allowed us the reader into the mind of the main character and understand her better. The writing itself was really good; it reminded me of her writing in the other book I read "Living Dead Girl". There's just something about this author's writing that really causes me to be swept up in the story no matter the chosen conflict matter. And I feel the author chooses to write these realistic and deep lining issues to help her readers better understand the conflicts in our society and make us understand that they DO happen. So overall I really enjoy this author's style of writing.
Quote of the book:
"He looks trapped, helpless and furious, and that's a feeling I know too well. Know how much it hurts. Know how it holds you down, how every day there are a thousand little ways to see there is nothing you can do to change who or what you are."
Goodreads Summary:
Abby accepted that she can't measure up to her beautiful, magnetic sister Tess a long time ago, and knows exactly what she is: Second best. Invisible.
Until the accident.
Now Tess is in a coma, and Abby's life is on hold. It may have been hard living with Tess, but it's nothing compared to living without her.
She's got a plan to bring Tess back though, involving the gorgeous and mysterious Eli, but then Abby learns something about Tess, something that was always there, but that she'd never seen.
Abby is about to find out that truth isn't always what you think it is, and that life holds more than she ever thought it could...
Last Thoughts:
I would recommend this to readers who enjoy realistic books and to those who like to experience FEELING through a book, this was really a good book to read about how a person has trouble accepting who they are…this is a book to read for all of those people who feel they are nothing…I really enjoyed this book and will continue to read more books by this author; she just has a way of bringing serious issues and making them fun and good to read about.

Below the Surface: A Mom's Revelation About Teen Depression

Did you like reading this story? Click the heart to show your love.
It was a day I'll never forget. Returning home from her after school activities, my bright, energetic 16 year-old daughter Sarah retreated to her room and crawled into bed. She remained there for three days, crying and curled up in a fetal position. Her friends started showing up at our house. I realized then that Sarah was in trouble.
Leading up to that October day, I'd missed the signs that lurked just below the surface. Sarah had earned A's in even her challenging courses. She had great friends surrounding her. She was active in marching band, theatre, and a robotics team. When her grades began falling and she wasn't her spirited self, I thought it was just a phase. I told myself she was worn down by all her activities and the demands of school.
I'm thankful that Sarah has some amazing friends, with whom I'd already established relationships. I reached out to one of them, and she let me know everything that my daughter was sharing with her. I learned that Sarah was in despair, telling her friends she could no longer tolerate her life. She thought her options came down to sleeping or not being alive.
That piece of news hit me hard. And it baffled me. Sarah and I were close. She was also close with her two sisters, who loved her dearly. She was so smart, talented, healthy, and athletic. She had everything to look forward to in life.
Even though I was struggling to make sense of our situation, I knew I had to admit Sarah to a behavioral health hospital. The next few weeks were gut-wrenching, as she—and I—endured her absence from our home, the uncertain path toward determining a diagnosis, and the first days of an intense therapy and medical protocol that continues today.
Eventually, Sarah was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. After being stabilized, she was released and is making progress. As a family, we are all learning to appreciate the challenges that Sarah and so many other people like her face.
Before that October day, I had naively assumed that all struggling adolescents fit a type: they wore black clothing, acted with rudeness and disrespect, failed to follow rules, , lacked ambition, and had a limited set of friends. What I learned is that mental illness does not have a profile. As parents, we need to educate ourselves. My daughter's high achieving personality hid the real story. Behaviors that I thought I could chalk up to typical teen experiences were actually red flags.
Not doing well at school may mean so much more than an increasingly difficult homework load.
Being tired and spending more time in bed may have nothing to do with the pace of your teen's activities.
Before that painful October experience, I thought I couldn't be prouder of Sarah. Now, I'm simply in awe of her strength and resilience. I also realize that regardless of the close relationship you may have with your child, the source of their struggles may not be obvious.
Sarah's path toward mental health will undoubtedly include some bumps in the road, but as a family, we are all better people because of the ordeal. I'm grateful that she is doing well and making progress.

Most people would agree that building materials make the mark of a magnificent project.
The question is always, "How do you select the right materials to make this mark?" The simple answer is: choose the materials BEFORE purchasing.
This is the York Cottage that has wonderful and rare ocean views of The Isles of Shoals. While we are doing an addition / renovation to a small cottage, the home will still remain relatively modest and our intention is to retain its genuine Maine Cottage feel. A mixture of dark and light distressed woods and cabinetry with light, textured fabrics will pull together the space beautifully. We shop with all these definitions in mind.
The existing floors are distressed wide-plank knotty pine. So the new flooring on the first floor will match that with new tile in the kitchen for function. Knotty pine is a kitchen is a terribly idea because it is soft and will show natural wear & tear in a short amount of time. By selecting the tile early in the process, we will be able to have the finished floors at the same height to avoid any thresholds.
The floors on the second-floor addition will be a distressed, bleached wide plank oak in the bedroom and hallway. Carpet will be in the closet – a wise choice to respect budget and feet-friendly. And the Master Bath will have wonderful mosaic patterned tile out of Thassos and Carrara marbles from Artistic Tile.
The kitchen will have an interesting combination of painted soft white along the main kitchen wall, distressed wood grain on the island and a dark cherry stain for the bar in the living room.
Since we have one wall of cabinetry considered the main kitchen, the cabinets will be the soft white and the countertops will be a solid, engineered sage green Pental Quartz. The island with the distressed wood-grain cabinetry will read as a solid light taupe Cambria USA quartz. And the bar with the dark stained cherry will be the same Cambria. The Master Bath will also have this Cambria quartz on the soft white cabinets. A trip to Boston Granite Exchange will determine the use of quartz, quartzite, granite or marble.
Tile is like art. So, we started with the tile and specifically the backsplashes. Cabinetry can basically be any color and selecting engineered stone makes selecting countertops relatively easy to work with the backsplash. These tiles are amazing and we want them to be the focus of attention.
It is a lot of work to pull everything together so remember, don't purchase anything until ALL of the decisions have been made. If you would like help on your material selections, let me know. It can be complicated but for me it's super fun!

–As for those who are slain in the cause of Allah, He will not allow their works to perish. He will vouchsafe them guidance and ennoble their state; He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them (10:4-15).
–Allah has cursed the unbelievers and proposed for them a blazing hell (33:60).
–Unbelievers are enemies of Allah and they will roast in hell (41:14).
–When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens [Different translation: When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.](47:4) .
–Those who are slain in the way of Allah – he will never let their deeds be lost. Soon will he guide them and improve their condition, and admit them to the Garden, which he has announced for them (47:5)
–Muslims are harsh against the unbelievers, merciful to one another (48:25).
–Muhammad is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. Through them, Allah seeks to enrage the unbelievers (48:29).
–Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal sternly with them. Hell shall be their home, evil their fate (66:9).
–The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of hell. They are the vilest of all creatures (98:51).
These verses have been directly informed by the Quran – and are being taken literally. So what should international human rights organizations regard as the threat: the Quran, Quranic instructions, or the people who are just following its recommended path?

File under historic artifacts not worth buying: 1842 18th Avenue. According to the listing, once the home of Commodore Perry. Most people associate "Commodore Perry" with the American naval officer Matthew Perry, who in 1853 induced the Japanese to open up trade with the United States. But since that Commodore Perry died in 1858, we're seriously doubting the provenance. Besides, Commodore is a naval rank and the Presidio's always been an army base. Commodore Perry did have a verifiable pied-à-terre at the Admiral's Row at the Brooklyn Navy Yard when he wasn't off swashing his buckle in the service of American expansion before the Civil War.
Whatever. The house is clearly early-twentieth century, and the two dates cited in the listing, 1915 and 1923, are probably the dates it was constructed and was subsequently moved to the current site. It certainly could have been officer's quarters, built in the Presidio and moved down 19th Avenue in 1923 to the Sunset, however unaided by any commodores. One of the most unsympathetic renovations we've seen in while, including what appears to be a dry moat masquerading as a patio. New on the market and commodore-ing $1.738M.
[Update: We thank the commenter PvP who sent this link to General Pershing and the tragic fire that killed most of his family. The realtor has changed the listing to reference "Commodore Pershing". Based on the photo of the burned-out shell of a Victorian house (scroll down the link) perhaps the listing should read "constructed from building materials from General Pershing's home in the Presidio".]

Jess Chonowitsch (2004)
Jess Chonowitsch, born 1947 in Copenhagen, started his career as a pipe maker in 1965 at the workshop of Poul Rasmussen. Originally he had started a study of veterinary medicine and reached to pipe making actually by a side job. Jess is the son of Emil Chonowitsch who has become also a very well known carver. Emil Chonowitsch start to study pipe making at Poul Rasmussen´s place only a couple of moths before Jess starts. In this meaning, father and son Chonowitsch weren't (related to pipe making) in a comparable "teacher - pupil" relationship like Sixten and Lars Ivarsson. Both, Jess and Emil Chonowitsch developed respectively a very personal style. After Rasmussen's early death Jess Chonowitsch helped to sustain the workshop business. He continues his studies at Sixten Ivarsson later. He made himself independent in 1969.
Jess Chonowitsch belongs to the most popular pipe makers of the world, approximately comparable with Lars Ivarsson today. His pipes are particularly popular in the USA. Jess is quite experimenting joyful. Although Jess prefers personally shorter, stout pipes, his pipes are diversified stylistically very broadly.
Many Jess-pipes are very typical but sometimes it is not so easy to identify a particular pipe as a "Jess". Helpful may be, that, at pipes with saddle stems, the saddle ends very briefly behind the shank . Jess uses, moreover, a broad pallet of decorating materials.
The pipes of Jess Chonowitsch are considerably different from Emil´s pipes regarding the stamp. Jess used a circulates round stamp: "Chonowitsch Denmark". At earlier pipes, the first name, Jess, was stamped separately below the circle in capital letters. There was a number code joined, informing about the the year of production and the number of the pipe, like the stamp known of Lars Ivarsson. Current pipes showing "Jess" in the middle of the round stamp now. There no grading. Top pieces are stamped with a "pigeon" sign, also shown on the leather pouches.
Another unusual feature with Jess Chonowitsch are pipes stamped as "Standard Shape". These are beautiful pipes in a rather classic manner. There are various discussions whether Jess Chonowitsch is still involved into the production of these pipes. They are less popular in collector circles although they have very good smoking qualities.
The pipe prices of Jess Chonowitsch are really high, also compared with other well-known pipe makers. Rustcated or blast pipes starting approximately at 1.000. €, smooth pipes in the dark finish at 1.500. € up to smooth, bright pipes for 2.500. €. Because of the high price and an annual production of approx. 200 pipes Jess Chonowitsch pipes aren't rare at all. At the moment, a highly respected Swiss specialist dealer offers 13 sand-blasted and 15 smooth models. (2/2004) at his web-site. All are very beautiful!

Public Summary Month 5/2012
The last two months have shown a slow continuation of the previous joint work on the project. A significant part of our work in this period was focused on preparations for Automatica.
1) Automatica 2012: We set up the hardware system necessary for our appearance at Automatica and modified the necessary software to fit that setup. In addition we developed an intuitive control interface to be able to show the capability of the hand during the fair. We prepared dissemination material to be used at the fair. For that the Scape systems were used to record video clips and we composed a short video presenting our results so far. In addition a flyer and a rollup was composed. The experiment partners were available during the trade fair to present and discuss issues related to our experiment.
2) Improvements in the tree-finger-hand setup: While starting the first validation experiments in the 3-finger setup it became obvious that there are still problems with our shared data formats and our shared understanding of how exactly to execute the individual experiments and how to represent the results. We therefore spend additional time on improving and adapting the 3-finger setup to the expectation of the other partners.

Limit collateral damage from bank frauds, urges ASSOCHAM
Apex trade association ASSOCHAM on Sunday said that all out efforts must be made by banks, regulators, government and India Inc to limit the collateral damage from the alleged fraud in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) row.
The trade body also cautioned that an over-reaction by the banks and the investigative agencies would hurt essential credit disbursement to the trade and industry and tamper the growth expectations.
"Following unearthing of the alleged scams and the media headlines, the banks are becoming cautious while there is a perceived public pressure on the regulators to act tough. Given the scale of the problem, the level of noise may be justified, but it could cause a huge loss of confidence. So, it is time to show immense restraint and use the adverse situation as an opportunity to fix the systemic issues," said ASSOCHAM Secretary General, D S Rawat.
ASSOCHAM also said that India can learn a lot from the United States.

"We can learn a lot from the U.S. experience of handling the global financial crisis of 2007-08. The U.S. authorities worked at the root of their banking system and have put in place some robust risk mitigation and prudent system," the chamber said.
In the present situation, while the debate on reducing government stake to below 50 percent should be encouraged, some immediate steps should be taken to do the capacity building in the Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks, enabling them to prevent, detect and act on frauds.
Given the technology disruption taking place and India's ambitions to enhance digital footprints, it is all the more important to put in place robust systems which are well beyond compromise, the ASSOCHAM said.

It said given the nature of fast changes, the PSU banks with full support from the government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), need to develop expertise in specific business verticals.
"Lending to infrastructure projects is not the same as lending for retail trade, transportation or operating in the bond market. A new approach is needed for technological and human resource upgrades," D S Rawat said.
A lot more lateral recruitment would be needed at the middle and senior levels, in different verticals. Take for instance agriculture, different skill sets are needed for lending to farmers and then giving them a feeling of stakeholders. Times are changing. Indian banks must also change, the body concluded.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia -- Beauty will save the world. It's one of the most often-cited and widely discussed quotations from 19th-century Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Now his museum in the country's tsarist-era capital is caught up in a controversy that is putting that maxim to the test.
The museum has announced plans to build a new, starkly modern wing that is intended to bring one of the UNESCO-protected city's most popular attractions into the modern age.
"For us, the new building is an outstanding decision," museum Director Natalya Ashimbayeva told RFE/RL's Russian Service. "It is a chance, a stimulus into the future."
She contrasted the new materials and technologies now available to the state-owned museum with its sparse beginnings, in 1971, when "we had almost no extra exhibits; almost everything was on display.
"But now, we need a modern collections storage facility."
To mark Dostoyevsky's 200th birthday in 2021, the museum plans to construct the new, 1,600-square-meter wing on a leafy lot next door to the current building in the heart of the northern capital's historic district. The projected cost is 650 million rubles ($9.8 million).
The current museum is in a 19th-century building where Dostoyevsky lived twice -- once briefly in 1846 when he wrote his early psychological novella The Double, and again from 1878 until his death in 1881 when he wrote his chef-d'oeuvre The Brothers Karamazov.
Few writers anywhere are as intimately connected with a city as Dostoyevsky is with St. Petersburg. Charles Dickens and London or James Joyce and Dublin are perhaps the closest analogs. It is a truism of Dostoyevsky criticism to note that the gloomy northern city is a full-fledged character in many of his novels, particularly his widely read classic Crime And Punishment.
The museum's proposal, however, has drawn sharp opposition from people who feel the modern gray box will detract from what remains of St. Petersburg's Dostoyevskian charm.
"They have selected the most radical architectural decision, an absolutely modernist facade that not only does not fit in Dostoyevsky's Petersburg but doesn't fit in with any of the other historical surroundings," said Aleksandr Kononov, deputy head of the local branch of the All-Russian Society for the Preservation of History and Culture. "Of course, our society thinks this project is completely inappropriate."
Kononov argues that a more appropriate decision would be to use preserved photographs and drawings to restore the facade of the 19th-century building that previously stood on the spot and which was torn down by the communist government in the 1970s.
Other opponents of the proposed expansion have called for the revival of a 1988 government plan to expand the museum by purchasing the remaining private apartments in the current museum building. This variant, they argue, would preserve the existing green space in a neighborhood that is already too aggressively built up.
"Our organization has already been opposing construction on downtown squares and parks for two years," said Yaroslav Kostrov, coordinator of the nongovernmental movement Central Region For Comfortable Living. "But the government, instead of organizing new parks and squares, is destroying the existing ones, which we think is a mistake. How can they build on the last [undeveloped] square on Kuznetsky Pereulok, the last oasis in a stone district?"
Kostrov is particularly irked because the architect of the proposed expansion, Yevgeny Gerasimov, has already earned a reputation for building modernist structures over city green spaces.
"It was Gerasimov who built over the square at Nevsky Prospect No. 152 with his wretched concrete box with a little glass cap on top," he said. "This is his sick imagination, which he managed to bring to life on Nevsky. I'm amazed they are giving him permission to build anything at all after that."
Museum Director Ashimbayeva disputes the notion that the proposed site is a "square" at all, calling it a vacant lot that is used primarily as a smoking space by local students.
"There aren't even any benches there," she says.
Gerasimov, a prolific architect and head of the firm Gerasimov and Partners, which submitted designs for high-profile projects including the Russian Olympic Committee headquarters and a new Russian parliament, is unapologetic in defense of his concept.
"Some people won't like this project, but they will be in the minority," he told RFE/RL. "The Dostoyevsky Museum has to develop and work into a new stage of its development. It was founded 50 years ago and now it is getting a new, modern, high-quality, well-equipped space for activity that is varied and much-needed, both for locals and for visitors to the city. That is why this project is needed. As for how the facade looks -- that is a professional question.
"I hope this building will not spoil the impression created by its surroundings," he added. "Whether it is pretty or not -- that can only be discussed after it is built. Time is the best judge."
To support the project, a charity foundation called Dostoyevsky's Petersburg has been created. The founders of the organization are Ashimbayeva, Gerasimov, and Andrei Yakunin -- the 43-year-old son of former KGB officer, intimate of President Vladimir Putin, and former head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin. Andrei Yakunin, who holds dual Russian and British citizenship and lives in London, describes himself on the website as a "philanthropist."
The controversy comes five years after a similar dispute over the expansion of the city's legendary Mariinsky Theater on the other side of town. Local preservationists ultimately failed to stop that modernist construction, which was pushed through by Mariinsky Artistic Director and Kremlin insider Valery Gergiyev. Hermitage Museum Director Mikhail Piotrovsky called the building "an architectural mistake."
Although a city planning commission has given preliminary approval to Gerasimov's vision for the Dostoyevsky expansion, the project is far from being finally green-lighted. And activists have pledged to resist, already organizing one-person pickets and holding talks with opposition deputies in the city's legislature.
If necessary, activist Kostrov said, "we will stand as a living shield to block construction."

Hi, I'm Rocky and Raccoon. I was adopted on October 16!
Orange Tabby &Calico
Baby, Male
Not ready to adopt?
Rocky and Raccoon is available to Sponsor!
Rocky and Raccoon are looking for a home together (Gideon's bible not included!). Rocky (male orange tabby) and Raccoon (female calico) were raised in foster care after coming to AFRP from the Monterey SPCA to help make space for fire evacuees. Their foster mom calls these 2-month-old cuties the perfect combination of playful energy and lap snuggle-seekers! This colorful pair will keep you smiling all day long as they romp, climb, explore and play with their toy mice, balls, wands and interactive toys. Best of all, they keep each other amused if you are busy or away from home. They are a bit cautious with new people and situations, but once they know you they'll run right up for attention. An adult home or family with cat-savvy, gentle children would be the perfect match for this adorable duo. Rocky and Raccoon are currently in foster care and are available for meet and greets once an online application has been submitted.
Please note: Due to COVID-19, preference is given to residents of Monterey County and Santa Cruz County.

Welcome to the 20th edition of 'The Digital Asset Digest', the newsletter that puts you in the know about the biggest events in the crypto market. This week, the crypto space saw its momentum pause momentarily as investors moved back into traditional assets, but we explain why we remain optimistic about the market both in the near and long-term.
There's a lot to be excited about over the next few months, so we hope that you share in our enthusiasm!
Bitcoin took a small breather this week, closing Monday morning at around the $11,800 mark on reports that Chinese Bitcoin users were transferring the crypto outside of the country and that Bitmex would close off its trading platform from Ontario. Ether and XRP took a harder hit, falling 6.8% and 9.4%, respectively.
Equities were up again, although it seems to have been constrained to the U.S. this week. The S&P 500 was up 1.5%, driven by gains in Information Technology and Telecom, while the NASDAQ posted an impressive 2.3% return over the same period. The S&P/TSX Composite, on the other hand, was somewhat unmoved, as gains in Consumer Discretionary were offset by weakening oil prices.
Commodities continued their dip, with gold futures sitting around the $1,900 level again. WTI and Brent crude fell on reports that Iraq and Nigeria failed to meet production targets, oversupplying global energy markets.
New Binance exclusive reveals the Bitcoin exchange might have a serious problem
Source: Forbes
"Bitcoin, despite its growing mainstream popularity, is a favourite tool of cyber criminals, with one ransomware variant, known as Ryuk, thought to have stolen $61 million since it was created in 2018, according to the FBI. Ransomware hackers, who encrypt their victims' files before demanding bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to unlock them, began increasingly targeting hospitals and healthcare providers during the coronavirus pandemic, Interpol reported in April, with criminals taking advantage of an influx of remote workers. Now, researchers who say they are concerned by this trend have compiled information that could be damaging to Binance, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges in the world—suggesting the exchange is failing to prevent Ryuk hackers from turning the stolen bitcoin into cash."
Bitcoin mining facility with room for 50,000 rigs set to launch in Kazakhstan
Source: CoinDesk
"One of the largest mining facilities in the world – with output to rival a small power station – is set to open for business in the mining-friendly country of Kazakhstan in September. Mining facility operator Enegix told CoinDesk Friday it will be ready to open its 180 megawatt (MW) data center to mining pools at the start of September. Based in Ekibastuz, near the Russian border, the facility can host up to 50,000 mining rigs, according to sales director Dmitriy Ivanov. Assuming full capacity with Bitmain's AntMiner S19 series or MicroBT's WhatsMiner M30, that would represent mining power of about 5-6 EH/s – approximately 4% of bitcoin's current hashrate. Enegix already operates two mining facilities but the Ekibastuz site is its largest – it will employ upwards of 160 people, including engineers, electricians and security personnel."
Bitmain inks $17.7 million dollar deal with Riot Blockchain for next-gen bitcoin mining hardware
Source: The Block
"Bitcoin mining hardware giant Bitmain said Monday that it signed a $17.7 million deal with Riot Blockchain, a publicly-traded company that mines bitcoin, to purchase "8,000 next generation Bitmain Antminer S19 Pros." According to a press statement published by Bitmain, the agreement entails "a defined delivery schedule of 2,000 S19 Pros per month starting in January 2021 and continuing through April 2021 until the order is complete." A previous statement from Riot estimated that the new batch of miners would arrive sometime in November."
Is the postal service working on blockchain-based voting?
Source: Popular Mechanics
"The United States Postal Service (USPS) is in the crosshairs of a mail-in voting clash, with President Donald Trump blocking supplementary funding for the independent mail agency—which has financially suffered throughout the COVID-19 pandemic—and Democrats likening the move to "sabotage." It all adds up to disaster for the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. The USPS has warned all 50 states and Washington, D.C. that mail-in ballots might not arrive to election offices in a timely manner for counting, and mail-sorting machines are disappearing from facility lines with little to no explanation."

Crypto Yuan will meet the Dollar — in Hong Kong
Source: Bloomberg
"Money is whatever people will use to swap, store and measure value. Since 1846, Hong Kong residents have relied on notes issued by commercial banks. And for almost four decades, they have been safe in the knowledge that 78 units of local currency would always fetch 10 U.S. dollars. That certainty has spawned a globally competitive financial center. But change is on its way. The people of Hong Kong may be asked to try out a new kind of money. Whether they bite could decide the outcome of a great superpower rivalry. A digital renminbi trial will start in Hong Kong, according to China's Commerce Ministry, which is also planning similar evaluations in Shanghai, Macau, Beijing, Tianjin and the province of Hebei."

Our bullish thesis on Bitcoin is unchanged this week. The last week was a slow week for the coin and although we saw momentum slow down, an ascending channel on Bitcoin has clearly emerged. On Saturday, Bitcoin bounced off the lower end of the channel and the momentum looks like it's just beginning to ramp up.
We note that RSI is no longer in overbought territory, which we would consider a positive signal for the upcoming few weeks. In late July, fear that the coin moved too much too soon was the prevailing sentiment, but with the current pullback, we believe that there is a long runway ahead. We will be watching to see if Bitcoin breaks down from the bottom end of the channel. Should support hold, we would consider this a confirmatory signal of our near-term optimism.
At GDA Capital, we pride ourselves on remaining well-positioned for changes within the industry. And from where we're standing, if 2017 was the year of ICOs, 2020 will be remembered as the year of DeFi. As crypto investors look for new opportunities in the DeFi space, regulators once again watch crypto with a skeptical eye. Will DeFi be the next frontier of the crypto space? Or will Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision of a trustless, decentralized currency remain the trajectory?

NOTE: Full spoilers for this episode of Gotham are present in this review.
Another of the most major Batman antagonists to come was introduced this week on Gotham, in an episode aptly titled, "Harvey Dent." The man who would one day become schizophrenic crime lord, Two-Face made his debut in this episode, even if the episode did make for a disappointing start for him, since we barely see Dent, considering that the episode is named after him.
In fact, overall, "Harvey Dent" was a bit of a downgrade from the past few weeks of fantastic episodes. It felt like the premise was good, but the execution was a tad problematic. The latest villain plot was a bore, considering the past few villains we've gotten, and even the mob material wasn't anything of note this week, especially given that Penguin has just arbitrarily started snooping around Liza for reasons unknown.
First, the main question is Nicholas D'Agosto, guest-starring as Gotham City's current Assistant District Attorney, Harvey Dent, and yes, D'Agosto is great in the part. We see an incredible candor and passion for the city with the character, along with a standout moment where Dent briefly loses his temper with a suspect he's questioning, which helps to illustrate the kind of menace he'll one day achieve as Two-Face. Again, it's disappointing that Dent was barely featured in the end, but it's likely that D'Agosto will be back in a future episode, even if it looks like we may have to wait for a hopeful (but very likely at this point) second season for Gotham.
With Dent pretty well entirely in the background, Gordon and Bullock were left to chase a bomber that was broken out of a transfer from the city's infamous Blackgate Prison (making its first visible debut on the show this episode), who was abducted by mobsters. The bomber plot itself was pretty bland, but the twist that the bomber wasn't evil and was actively trying to get psychiatric help for himself after his crimes (which didn't claim lives), was well done. It also inevitably led to the increasingly corrupt Mayor James signing off on the transfer of psychiatric patients from Blackgate to the newly re-opened Arkham Asylum, which would likely be received well by the general public, even if Batman fans know that this is anything but good news.
The other major plot this week came from Gordon having to find temporary custody for Selina Kyle, just in time for him to get Barbara's letter announcing that she's leaving. So, Gordon's just allowed to chill at her place anyway now? Whatever. Selina didn't end up staying at Gordon's (well, Barbara's) apartment as it happens, and was shipped off to Wayne Manor, where she's staying under Bruce and Alfred's protective custody. Bruce insists on Selina sticking around due to the evidence she could provide about his parents' murder, even if Alfred is initially against the idea, though later relents when he sees how happy Selina makes Bruce, who is in desperate need of some good friends.
The interaction between Bruce and Selina is alright, even if the dialogue is a tad awkward, but hey, they're about 13-15 years old at this point, so that's probably just young teenagers. The cute ploy of Selina offering to let Bruce kiss her more than once felt a bit forced, but it wasn't without its charm, even if it did seem like it was only there to address the turbulent romance between Batman and Catwoman in the future. One has to wonder why Bruce does things like submerge himself in the pool with all of his clothes on (network restriction, maybe?), but the promising prospect of Bruce learning some of his early stealth and street smarts from Selina, just as he learns some of his early fighting skills from Alfred, is an exciting one.
For the first time however, the Penguin material fell a tad flatter. It's unknown as to why Penguin is suddenly harassing Liza, and being especially sketchy around Fish, whom he pays a visit to essentially just to taunt, but in any case, Penguin seems confident about his own agenda. The fact that he went to the trouble of scaring Liza, just to tell her to keep working Falcone as normal, was a bit odd, but perhaps it's a setup for a later payoff.
Oh, and the episode ends with Barbara running back to bed with Montoya for some cheap titillation. After Montoya's olive branch to Gordon a few episodes back, this seems like a blatant stab-in-the-back by both characters, but I suppose Barbara did say she wanted to figure things out. Barbara is still in desperate need of a consistent character arc, and it's doubtful that the relationship with Montoya will be anything more than a mistake in the long-term, but hey, at least FOX showed two beautiful women kissing. The teen boys watching should be thrilled.
"Harvey Dent" has a shakier script and a slightly sloppier plotline, even if the foundation of the episode itself was sound. Some of these awkward events may lead to better payoffs later in the season, though it's difficult to shake the disappointment that the episode's title character barely had five minutes of screentime. This episode felt like the show needing to take a breath after a series of big developments, and that's fair enough. Hopefully it doesn't take much longer to catch its breath though.

"SCTi's competence in this area of cooling optimization has been very outstanding.
I have had the opportunity to roll out quite a number of these initiatives with SCTi on the COP strategy and the cost benefits far outweigh the capital outlay.
The benefits accrued when the ECM toolbox is leveraged on the energy efficiency and optimization programs sounds the bell for an energy initiative that rides well with corporate executives; key points to note are the many impacts exponentially downwards on the OPEX curve for the organization in the category of O&M cost. These programs set up the analytics for asset life cycle cost so linking exponentially the reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) for the assets being treated under these COPs."
