Three Americans held in North Korea reported relocated ahead of summit
With Eli Okun and Jacqueline Klimas
TOP NEWS — THREE AMERICANS DETAINED IN NORTH KOREA REPORTEDLY RELOCATED AHEAD OF SUMMIT, reports the Yonhap News Agency: "North Korea has relocated three American detainees from a labor camp to a hotel on the outskirts of Pyongyang ahead of a planned summit between leader Kim Jong-un and President Donald Trump, a South Korean activist said Wednesday.

"The U.S. citizens — Kim Hak-song, Tony Kim and Kim Dong-chul — were moved in early April following instructions from superior authorities, said Choi Sung-yong, head of a group for families of South Koreans abducted by North Korea, citing a resident in Pyongyang.
"The detainees have been accused of espionage or 'hostile acts.'"
The U.S. is checking on the reports, writes Reuters.
"Stay tuned," President Donald Trump tweets.
And, as the president visits the State Department, Secretary Mike Pompeo says North Korea must denuclearize, also via Reuters.
Trump gets dovish on North Korea, but surrounds himself with hawks, writes The Washington Post.
The inter-Korean summit focused on Trump and nukes, adds The Washington Post.
Still, the fate of U.S. troops in South Korea remains the elephant in the room, writes Stars and Stripes.
A focus on human rights fades as the U.S. and South Korea pursue a deal, writes Reuters.
North Korea's Kim Jong Un tells China he's committed to denuclearization, reports Reuters.
And is Kim trustworthy? 78 percent of South Koreans think so, a new poll finds, reports The Washington Post.
IT'S THURSDAY AND WELCOME TO MORNING DEFENSE, where we're always on the lookout for tips, pitches and feedback. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and follow on Twitter @greg_hellman, @morningdefense and @politicopro.
FATAL GUARD TRANSPORT CRASH HIGHLIGHTS SPATE OF AVIATION INCIDENTS: "All nine people aboard an aging cargo plane making its final military flight Wednesday were killed when the aircraft nosedived into a Georgia highway," reports CNN.
"The Puerto Rico Air National Guard WC-130 was carrying nine crew members when it crashed, the Guard said in a statement. It was flying from the coastal city of Savannah, Georgia to Tucson, Arizona, where it was to be decommissioned.
"The plane involved in Wednesday's crash was at least 50 years old, according to an official familiar with the aircraft."
Additionally, an Air Force B-1B Lancer made an emergency landing in Texas Tuesday, reports the Military Times.
The Guard crash and emergency bomber landing are the latest in a string of recent military aviation incidents that have drawn scrutiny from both Congress and the military services.
House Armed Services Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), commenting on aviation accidents, said last month military readiness is at "crisis point," via your Morning D correspondent.
"Given the urgency and importance of this issue, there can be no higher priority for the Department of Defense than ensuring that our aircraft are safe and that pilots get the training they need," he said then. "Nothing should divert us from that mission."
But Navy Secretary Richard Spencer says there's no data to support a correlation between aviation accidents in the Navy and Marine Corps and inadequate funding, adds our colleague Jacqueline Klimas: "There is not enough data right now to tell you that there's an exact correlation," Richard Spencer told reporters Wednesday at the Pentagon.
"Yet Spencer added in a Pentagon press briefing that while additional funding for flight hours can help, training is already in line with the necessary requirements.
"Gen. Robert Neller, the commandant of the Marine Corps, also told reporters he's 'not sure funding would have changed the outcome' in a KC-130 crash last July that killed 16 troops."
EXCLUSIVES — PENTAGON FUNDING BOOSTS GO TO EQUIPMENT, NOT READINESS, according to a new report by the Center for International Policy: Defense Department funding increases in the fiscal 2018 omnibus went towards major weapons programs rather than military readiness, says the report, provided to Morning D ahead of its release.
Among the systems boosted the most by the measure include the M-1 Abrams tank, which received funding for 29 additional vehicles; the F-35, at 20 additional fighters; and the AH-64 Apache helicopter, at 17 additional aircraft, the report adds.
"Congressional generosity towards major weapons contractors appears to have more to do with pork barrel politics than a careful assessment of defense needs," the report's author, William Hartung, said in a statement. "These expenditures will do little to address items like training and maintenance that have been identified as urgent needs, but they will go far in padding the profits of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics and other major defense contractors."
— FORMER SERVICE SECRETARIES REBUT MATTIS ON TRANSGENDER SERVICE MEMBERS: Three military service secretaries, each of whom served under President Barack Obama, are rebutting statements by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis that his service chiefs didn't know whether transgender service members compromise unit cohesion.
"We cannot report that a problem emanated from a transgender" person, Mattis said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last month. "We cannot under the [former Defense Secretary Ash] Carter policy do that. So the question you've asked the service chiefs and the chairman are ones that, right now, the Carter policy prohibits that very information from coming up, because it's private information. It's impossible for them to respond to you."
All four service chiefs have told Congress they are not aware of any harm transgender service members have caused to military units.
"As Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley testified, the situation has been 'monitored very closely' so that any problems could be nipped in the bud," former military service secretaries Ray Mabus, Deborah Lee James and Eric Fanning said in a statement provided to Morning D by the Palm Center, adding that the Carter policy encourages reporting of any issues related to transgender personnel.
U.S. TRANSFERS FIRST DETAINEE OUT OF GITMO UNDER TRUMP, reports the NYT: "The Pentagon has transferred a Guantánamo Bay prisoner to the custody of Saudi Arabia, a spokeswoman announced on Wednesday. The handoff is the first time a detainee has left the wartime prison under President Trump, who vowed to fill it back up but has now instead overseen a reduction in its population.
"The prisoner, Ahmed Muhammed Haza al-Darbi, is unlikely to be set free soon. American officials intend for him to serve the roughly nine years remaining in a 13-year sentence he received after pleading guilty before a military commission to terrorism-related offenses involving a 2002 Qaeda attack on a French-flagged oil tanker off Yemen's coast...
"The Pentagon said on Wednesday that Mr. Mattis had provided updated policy guidance about when to propose transferring detainees to Guantánamo 'should that person present a continuing, significant threat to the security of the United States.'"
IRAN NUKE DEAL WITHDRAWAL — NOT IF FOR TRUMP, BUT HOW? Reports Reuters: "U.S. President Donald Trump has all but decided to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear accord by May 12 but exactly how he will do so remains unclear, two White House officials and a source familiar with the administration's internal debate said on Wednesday.
"There is a chance Trump might choose to keep the United States in the international pact under which Iran agreed to curb its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief, in part because of 'alliance maintenance' with France and to save face for French President Emmanuel Macron, who met Trump last week and urged him to stay in, the source said."
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns against scrapping the deal, also via Reuters.
UKRAINE, SEEKING JAVELINS, HALTED COOPERATION WITH THE MUELLER PROBE, reports The New York Times: "In Ukraine, where officials are wary of offending President Trump, four meandering cases that involve Mr. [Paul] Manafort, Mr. Trump's former campaign chairman, have been effectively frozen by Ukraine's chief prosecutor.
"The cases are just too sensitive for a government deeply reliant on United States financial and military aid, and keenly aware of Mr. Trump's distaste for the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into possible collusion between Russia and his campaign, some lawmakers say.
"The decision to halt the investigations by an anticorruption prosecutor was handed down at a delicate moment for Ukraine, as the Trump administration was finalizing plans to sell the country sophisticated anti-tank missiles, called Javelins."
And Ukraine decides to expand sanctions on Russian tycoons to mirror those imposed by the U.S., adds Reuters.
THE U.S. SHOULD CONSIDER A CYBERATTACK TO PUNISH PUTIN, MCCAIN WRITES IN HIS MEMOIR, via Defense News: "Sen. John McCain wrote in his new book that America should seriously consider a cyberattack to retaliate for Russia's meddling in U.S. elections, to send a strong message to the superpower.
"'I'm of the opinion that unless [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is made to regret his decision he will return to the scene of the crime again and again,' wrote McCain, the well-known Arizona Republican who is battling brain cancer."
CHINA TECH IN U.S. CROSSHAIRS: "The Pentagon is moving to halt the sale of phones made by Huawei Technologies Co. and ZTE Corp. in retail outlets on U.S. military bases around the world, citing potential security threats they say the devices could pose," reports The Wall Street Journal.
"The move intensifies a squeeze the Trump administration has put on the two Chinese makers of telecommunications gear and mobile devices. Washington officials have said Beijing could order Chinese manufacturers to hack into products they make to spy or disable communications. Huawei and ZTE have said that would never happen."
Additionally, the U.S. is weighing more curbs on Chinese telecom firms over national-security concerns, adds the WSJ.
— CHINA INSTALLS CRUISE MISSILES ON ISLANDS, reports CNBC: "China has quietly installed anti-ship cruise missiles and surface-to-air missile systems on three of its fortified outposts west of the Philippines in the South China Sea, a move that allows Beijing to further project its power in the hotly disputed waters, according to sources with direct knowledge of U.S. intelligence reports.
"Intelligence assessments say the missile platforms were moved to the outposts in the Spratly Islands within the past 30 days, according to sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity...
"By all accounts, the new coastal defense systems represent a significant addition to Beijing's military portfolio in one of the most contested regions in the world."
Meanwhile, China is opening a factory to build engines for hypersonic missiles and spaceplanes, reports Popular Science.
French President Emmanuel Macron wants a strategic Paris-Delhi-Canberra axis amid Pacific tension, writes Reuters.
And the Pentagon warns airmen of laser attacks near China's Djibouti base, via the South China Morning Post.

All that I do can be traced back to my existential anxiety. My self doubt, my fear of death and my conflicted feelings toward art in general and my role in its history, then filtered through the overwhelming feeling that it may all be pointless. While that may come as a real bummer, I don't view it as such. That's where the humor comes in. Satire is a wonderful tool for presenting something seemingly innocuous that has a bite.

pretty to look at I've noticed that you exaggerate alot with the women especially. and some panels it looked like you had someone else do for you or you scrapped your fundamentals and and drew a disproportionate face on panel 3. however i envy your camera angles mainly because i still can't get the low angle and high angle and some shots i never even thought of before. you seem to know what you are doing and i think i'm going to be another fan.
zelmarr, January 6th, 2012, 12:08 pm
RE: Pretty to look at Yeah I have to say sometimes it is very difficult. I have been trying to increase speed pretty much. On this page, I had did completely digital. Panel 3 was redone so many times I said screw it and left it be. As far as my women, regularly, they are more in the realm of proportionate but I have also been experimenting with trying to refine an art style for the characters. Doing sequentials has been a learning experience I tell you. The writer lord Daius keeps reassuring me that I will get better if I keep working on it. Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating. Anyways, I hope you do become a fan cause that would be awesome!

* Using the advanced 1-touch digital memory keypad is as simple as the push of a button. Four programmable buttons let you choose and set the best sitting and standing heights for you, even for multiple users. Or simply use the up/down buttons to get to that sit-to-stand sweet spot.
Note: Wood Desktops and Dry Climates
If the air in your area is especially dry, your wood desktop could be at increased risk of cracking and splitting. Wood naturally expands and contracts depending on the amount of moisture in the environment, and without enough humidity, the moisture in your desk can evaporate, leaving it vulnerable to warping.
It's a completely natural process, but it's unfortunately something that could affect your new wood desktop. If your desktop does crack or split, we're happy to send you a repair kit to fill the affected areas. If potentially repairing your wood desktop isn't something you're comfortable with, we recommend that you take a look at our Bamboo, Eco, or Laminate desktops instead.
If your desktop has already warped, please click here for instructions on using our solid wood desktop repair kit.
Please contact us if you have additional questions.
- I upgraded to the advanced keypad, and when I touch one of the presets my desk only moves a little bit. Is something wrong?
Your memory presets are probably working just fine, odds are that you have an older control box. To recall your preset heights, you have to press-and-hold the memory setting until your desk reaches standing height. This is for safety, since the older UPLIFT 3-Leg Frame did not have the ability to sense an obstruction and stop. If you see the number 99.046.14.0070 printed on the sticker located near the power socket, then your control box is capable of one-touch memory preset function and may need to be reset - see our Programming Your UPLIFT Desk PDF for instructions on locking the keypad, changing the memory presets from one-touch to press-and-hold, and setting new lower or upper height limits.
- How can I tell what version of control box is on my desk?
It's easy. You can check to see which version of control box you have by glancing at the silver label on it. If that sticker says v4.1, v4.2, or v4.3, you have the newest version of UPLIFT Desk's control box, complete with a few new features to enjoy on your desk!
- What are some of the features on the new control boxes?
The latest version of UPLIFT Desk's control boxes comes with several exciting new safety features, like Collision Sensitivity, Keypad Lockout, and the new ability to toggle between One-Touch and Constant-Touch modes with a few buttons. You can read about how to use these new features on our blog post about the subject!
- How do I use the Keypad Lockout feature?
In order to add an extra layer of safety to our desks, UPLIFT Desk designed their latest version 4.1 control boxes to be able to be locked so children and unwanted users cannot adjust it when this feature is activated. To lock the keypad, press the "M" button for 5 seconds until the LED switches to "LOC", then press and hold the the "M" button to turn on the lockout feature. To unlock it, just press the "M" for 5 more seconds.
- Is there any difference between the bamboo desktop offered here and the bamboo corner desk?
The bamboo on this desktop is a hefty 1.5" thick, versus 1" thick on the other Bamboo Corner Desk. This is made out of premium Moso bamboo, which is a more mature bamboo, giving it even more character and stability. Solid Wood desks are custom-made after you order and therefore will ship out in 12-14 weeks.
- What's carbonized bamboo?
Carbonized bamboo is bamboo that's been treated and "caramelized" to transform the desktop into a beautiful honey-caramel color. All of our bamboo desktops are constructed out of carbonized bamboo.
- Can I customize the size of the desktop to fit my work area?
Yes, since each Solid Wood Corner Desk is handcrafted after you order, you can have it made to your specifications. Give us a call us and let us know your dimensions down to 1/4 inch and our woodworkers will craft your desk to your specs!
- Can I get my desk any faster?
Like our other UPLIFT Desk Solid Wood Desks, this desk is crafted by hand after each order that is placed. A Solid Wood Desktop needs a little time to cure and finish before we can ship it to you, but we think waiting a bit makes the big delivery day just that much more special.
- Can I get my Solid Wood Desktop made in one piece?
Due to shipping constraints, UPLIFT Desk Solid Wood Desktops come in two pieces. Your desk will ship free via freight carrier, which comes with handy curbside delivery.
- How durable is the wood?
Solid wood is an surprisingly durable material. Desktops continue to harden naturally and become even more durable over time.
- How do I clean my desktop?
Keep your desk well-hydrated to prevent it from drying out and cracking. When you happen to make a desk mess, our Solid Wood Care Kit includes lemon oil, buffing towels, and a steel wool pad to help you restore your top. For regular desk maintenance and less drastic spills, just wipe your desk down with a damp rag.
- Can you speed up the shipping process?
Due to the fact that each desk is custom-made for you after you place your order, we cannot cut any corners to get you your desktop faster. However, we do have a variety of quick ship L-shape desks that may meet your needs if you need a spacious desk now.
- Why is the color of my desk a little different than the wood I chose online? Did I order the wrong wood?
More than likely, you didn't order the wrong type of wood! Immature woods sometimes appear lighter or darker than their older timbered desk counterparts. Over time the color of your desktop will balance out, giving you a stunning desk you can be proud to work at.
- Can the frame secure and hold a very large corner desktop?
The UPLIFT Desk 3-leg frame offers a huge lifting capacity of 530 pounds, meaning it can handle quite a bit of desk weight. Reaching that working sweet spot is no problem, fluidly adjusting your corner desk to your sitting and standing preferences in seconds.
- Will the wood crack over time?
Dry climates are more susceptible to warping and cracking, so it's important to keep your desk adequately hydrated with lemon oil, which can be found in the UPLIFT Solid Wood Care Kit.
- How are the two desktop pieces held together?
You can secure the two pieces of your Solid Wood Desktop using two included brackets. There will be a center seam where the desktops fit together; just make sure to precisely line up the two pieces of the desktop during installation to minimize this gap.
- Is the surface of the desk smooth?
Solid Wood Desktops may contain some minor imperfections, such as knots or bug holes. Our woodworkers will fill in the surface with clear or black filler to smooth out your desktop to perfection.
- Will I be able to assemble my desk by myself?
This desk is pretty heavy and may require two people to lay out your desktop on the floor safely. Though assembling and attaching the desktop pieces together is a one-person job, you will need a friend's help to set your desk right-side up after assembly.
- Can I get some wood samples to help me make up my mind?
Order the Solid Wood Sample Kit to get an up-close-and-personal look at what each wood species we offer looks like in real life.
- Do I have the option to order my desk with a curved corner?
At this time, we do not offer a curved corner desktop with this desk frame.
- I live outside of the United States, will this desk work with my outlets and voltage?
All UPLIFT Desks are made to run on the US electricity standard, which is 120 volts. If you're ordering an UPLIFT Desk from outside the United States, excluding Canada, you'll most likely need to plug your desk into a step down transformer, otherwise you run the risk of overloading your desk's control box, which is not covered by warranty. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call, email, or chat us.
- Does one-touch functionality on the advanced keypad let me save my desk heights?
You bet! Our newest line of control boxes for 3-leg desks features one-touch and constant-touch capabilities! You can even toggle between the two! One-Touch requires only a single touch of the "1, 2, 3, or 4" button to move the desktop to a preset memory location. Constant-Touch requires a continuous touch of the "1, 2, 3, or 4" button to move the desktop to a preset memory location. Constant-Touch is the default setting.
- How many motors are in the base?
All UPLIFT Desks come with a motor in each leg, so three for 3-leg desks. This makes the desks quieter to raise and lower, stronger, more reliable, and safer than desks with just a single motor. When you're updating your workstation, don't forget the little details that make UPLIFT Desks better than all other desks available on the market today.
- What is all this talk about three-stage frames?
Well, for starters, UPLIFT Desk frames are three-stage vs the traditional two-stage desk on the market today, which means these desks are a whole 33% faster thanks to 3 spindles instead of 2. This means you have a higher adjustability range, so desks suit shorter users and kids, all the way up to very tall users or those who plan on adding a treadmill to their setups later!

Sean Azzopardi Loves Sketchbooks
Sean Azzopardi of LUC and Twelve Hour Shift fame writes a quick post on his love of sketchbooks.
I agree with Sean – sketchbooks are a great way of thinking about things visually, although I often find it embarrassing to look back through old ones. A sketchbook is a space where ideas can germinate and develop organically and often imperceptibly.

The Department
Linguistics is the study of the human capacity for language. Language is the defining characteristic of the human species; without language, there would be no civilization, no culture, no scientific or technological development, none of the achievements and capabilities distinctive to the human species. Therefore, the study of the nature of language is fundamental to the understanding of what it means to be human.
Students and faculty in linguistics investigate the nature of human language, its structure, diversity, universality, acquisition by children and adults, historical change, and its use in society. They study how language is processed in the human mind/brain, and how it relates to other human cognitive faculties. And they study and develop applications of linguistics to teaching, technology, and many other fields.
Degrees and Programs
Our degrees and programs develop intellectual skills that are essential to professional careers or advanced degrees and can be applied directly to various professional fields. An undergraduate or advanced degree in linguistics can prepare you for a career in a variety of different fields, including but not limited to: teaching, publishing, national security, international affairs, policy, forensics, medicine and technology. Our programs also serve as excellent preparation for pursuing advanced degrees in linguistics and other fields such as English, Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology, Computer Science, and Foreign Languages.
The B.A. Option in General Linguistics provides a broad background in the scientific study of language, including but not limited to phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition, sociolinguistics, and related areas.
The B.A. Option in TESL provides professional training and preparation in theories and methods for teaching second/foreign languages and is especially compatible with degrees in education and liberal studies.
The B.A. Option in Interdisciplinary Language Studies is for those students interested in combining the study of a particular language or languages with the core areas of linguistics.
he B.A. Option in Computational Linguistics is for those students interested in text processing, forensic linguistics, software design, machine translation, and other professions dealing with the interface between computers and humans.
The B.S. Degree in Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary program that combines aspects of Computer Science, Psychology, Linguistics, and Philosophy.
The M.A. degree in Linguistics is designed to increase the student's knowledge and understanding of linguistics and its applications. The M.A. degree has two options, one in General Linguistics and one in TESL. The general linguistics program is designed to train students who expect to do further graduate work, to teach linguistics at the college level, or to do linguistic field work on less-studied languages. The option in TESL prepares students for further graduate work in applied linguistics and serves those who wish to teach English to speakers of other languages at any educational level, either abroad or in this country. The TESL option specifically meets the needs of English language teachers in this region.
Minors in Chinese, Hmong, and Japanese are also available for students with plans to pursue careers in various areas, such as education, health care, international affairs, marketing, economics, national security, art and literature, etc., where a knowledge of language and culture would be useful.
The Undergraduate Certificate of Special Study in Teaching English as a Second Language is intended for local and international Bachelors students who wish to specialize in English as a Second Language methods. The Graduate Certificate in TESL is designed to train students in the theory and practice of TESL, with application to a wide variety of teaching circumstances.
The Department of Linguistics has a computer lab for computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and for language study. The Department also has a sound booth for phonetic analysis. The Linguistics Department provides practical classroom teaching experience for qualified ESL students through internship programs at area schools and through employment with the American English Institute.
Graduate Program
The Department of Linguistics offers an M.A. in Linguistics with an option in General Linguistics and an option in Teaching English as a Second Language. At California State University, Fresno, students may also get a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Computational Linguistics or Cognitive Science.

Five takeaways from the Lakers' 126-117 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night at Staples Center:
1) If Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo needs surgery on his broken right hand, sources close to him who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter said he'll have the procedure Friday.
Rondo, who fractured the third metacarpal during Wednesday night's game will get an MRI exam Thursday, the sources said.
Lakers coach Luke Walton said after the game that Rondo would be out for "at least two weeks," but other sources said the timetable is more like three to five weeks.
Rondo was injured when he swiped at the basketball held by Portland center Jusuf Nurkic during the fourth quarter and subsequently banged his hand on the court.
Rondo is averaging 8.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists a game.
He missed three games this season serving a suspension for fighting with Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul.
2) In the wake of LeBron James scoring 44 points and moving past Wilt Chamberlain into fifth place on the NBA's all-time scoring list with 31,425 points and Rondo breaking his hand, guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a break-out game for the Lakers.
Caldwell-Pope scored 13 points on four-for-eight shooting, including three for four on three-pointers. He also had four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
3) Finally, the Lakers converted their free-throw opportunities. They shot 88.5% of their free throws, making 23 of 26.
James led the way by making 13 of his 15 free throws.
Brandon Ingram was four of five from the line, while JaVale McGee, Tyson Chandlerand Caldwell-Pope were each two for two.
4) Taking care of the basketball was another key aspect to the Lakers' victory. They turned the ball over just 13 times.
5) The Lakers actually shot better from the three-point line than the Trail Blazers, 46.9% to Portland's 42.4%.
James was five for six from three-point range, Kyle Kuzma one for two, Ingram one for three, Lonzo Ball three for five, Josh Hart two for six and Pope three for four.

Cryptocurrency Market Tops $116 Billion To Set New All
Aluna Crypto Currency & Trading
Comfortable and responsive Ajax updated trading platform interface will not leave indifferent any trader, beginner or proffessional. This figure shows cryptocurrency and digital asset market capitalization trends from July 2, 2017. Bitcoins are available in a free market. Still, many observers look at cryptocurrencies as hope that a currency can exist that preserves value, facilitates exchange, is more transportable than hard metals, and is outside the influence of central banks and governments.
That typically requires banks of high-powered computers gobbling huge amounts of electricity-and cutting into the profits of mining" the new coins. While you're trying to wrap your head around that, keep in mind Bitcoin isn't the only cryptocurrency. Customers can deal not just in bitcoin and ether, the two largest cryptos by market cap, but in ripple, bitcoin cash, dash, monero and neo.
We need to get beyond the Jamie Dimon type of discussion about bitcoin being a fraud or the speculative bubble around cryptocurrencies. On the basis of type, the cryptocurrency market has been segmented into Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), Dashcoin, Litecoin, and others. What's the one thing in common between all traded markets, be it stocks, bonds, commodities, or even cryptocurrencies?
In addition to Bitcoin, which has the largest market capitalization, more recently introduced cryptocurrencies include: Ethereum, Litecoin, Montero and Ripple. The maximum token reward for the period under review was 5x for the Chainlink ICO (based on the assessment made on October 8, 2017). Last week, Vice's Jason Cross observed there has been a major uptick in recent weeks in the number of Ethereum mining PC rigs being listed in eBay, as well as in the number of AMD graphics cards being unloaded by miners.
In our earlier reports on cryptocurrency miners, we have advised users who don't want websites to use their computer resources to opt for Chrome extensions like AntiMiner that block these scripts. AMD's latest VEGA GPUs now tout the best mining hash-rates for Ether, the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain platform.
Remember, you might need bitcoin to be able to start trading on a cryptocurrency exchange as most do not accept fiat money (if you do not have any other cryptocurrencies). One of the traders I follow closely is the Wolf of Poloniex In full disclosure, I am not a member of his Wolf Pack" currently, which is his paid private trading signals group.
The hackers began defacing the company's main site and Slack accounts, and pushed a special "pre-sale" ahead of the ICO, directing money toward their own cryptocurrency wallet. CoinTelegraph – Probably the second largest news source in the bitcoin space. Traders using the Japanese yen meanwhile have become 51% of the market, with $30.3 billion changing hands over the past month based on bitcoin's current price.
Then MS can tell that Edge is saving battery compared to Chrome as it does not support cryptocurrency mining. That being said, the altcoin market is growing so quickly that many new digital currencies hitting the market might not be good long-term investments. Bitcoin, which was reeling amid reports of a crackdown on Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges on Thursday, is actually rallying now.
The reality is that if trading were an easy, risk free way to make money, everyone would be a trader. From about early 2014 until late January this year, Chinese exchanges accounted for about 90% of global bitcoin trading volume, according to the website , which collates trading data reported by exchanges.

Close to Hamilton, NZ is a beautiful Arboretum. During a recent visit I took the source photo below and this led to the painting above. A larger version is shown below. I am pleased with the way the brush and palette knife captured the soft leafy green of the bamboo at the edge of the pond.
The source photo is below. I did not want to place the bamboo at the center, so I cropped the painting to get the duck near the Golden Mean intersection point.
A long time ago, I read The Three Pillars of Zen by Philip Kapleau. It made a lasting impression on me. Something in the book that returns to me often, is the recounting by a Zen student of her enlightenment experience.
She also describes a further opening of the heart and mind that occurred six years later. She outlines nine insights that were revealed to her. One which always stays with me is this one:
The least act, such as eating or scratching an arm, is not at all simple. It is merely a visible moment in a network of causes and effects reaching forward into the Unknowingness and back into a infinity of Silence, where individual consciousness cannot even enter. There is truly nothing to know, nothing that can be known.
These words stayed with me over the years and later led to a short poem:
Nothing to Know Creamy light; river at dusk. Teenager slamming door behind a worried heart. Blood test results due tomorrow. Red eye staring back across the intersection. Duck glancing back - at you. Look! everything points! ©Fritz Jooste 2016
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you are happy and content.

Here is the porcelain shower head.
The sink is an antique made in 1920. I still need to re-finish it. The gooseneck faucet I also bought from www.deabath.com .
The schoolhouse light I bought from rejuvenation. I love it!
The door I bought from Buckeye Appliance in Stockton California. They have antique archetectual salvage and refurbished stoves.
The Air Conditioning vent I bought at Vandykes Restorers.

How do you plan to refinish the sink? All very tasteful. Will you come be our neighbor?!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the complements. I plan on using a spray that I bought for sinks and tubs. Basically you have to clean the sink with steel wool and spray it on. I have seen it done before and it has favorable results. The sink does not have any chips deep enough showing the cast iron so I think I will be ok. I'm glad you like the blog. It has been a pain though on learning how it all works. I will figure it out in due time.ReplyDelete
You've done an amazing job on your bathroom! Want!ReplyDelete
I also wanted to give you a big thanks for posting the link for BEA Mechanicals. I finally found brass bathroom hardware and I'm so glad! Apparently Rejuvenation and House of Antique Hardware have decided that ALL bath hardware must be chrome or nickel. I'll post pics once they're hung.
Thanks Sharon. I have since added a hand shower to the tub that I ordered from Bathroom Macheneries which set me back $450.00 but well worth it. I need to post some pics of the hand shower. It is awsome and adds an extra touch of flavor to the bathroom.ReplyDelete

I too love Bungalows. I am currently trying to buy a little one down in Florida. It has been left pretty much in the condition it was in when built. Meaning it hasn't been "modernized". I love the high ceilings and the floor trim is almost 12" tall! I will think about removing 90 years of paint but as it is it gives the house a nice crisp line. I want to keep the house in the 1925 style it was built in but need to find that shower curtain rod like you have that goes all the way around the tub. This house has the original tub but it is a pedestal not a claw foot. Where did you locate the rod and how pricey was it? The kitchen has the original cabinets but there aren't very many of them so I am thinking of using them to be a pattern to make more. The kitchen is tiny but I love the original cabinets and the original sink is in place. It has seem some wear so I would like you opinion on how to accomplish bringing it back to it original look. It's a big sink with the drain boards on both sides and the faucet and handles come out of the tall back on the sink. It's a gem! Any help would be much appreciated.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for writing me. The bathroom curtain ring was purchased at Bathroom Machineries in Murphys California made by Sunrise Specialties. I am so glad to see you want to keep your house in the 1920's period. We have really worked hard to bring our house to its former glory and are not done yet. It is a labor of love and takes ten times longer to do it this way rather than ripping out and putting all new stuff in.Delete

Each year I find a few more plants that I think will be a really useful addition to our range. Obviously they have to be good for bees but they also have to fit into either a garden or a meadow setting and behave themselves!
My normal source of inspiration is to visit some great gardens and watch what is attracting the most bees; over the last two summers I visited Sussex Prairies, RHS Wisley then Cambridge Botanics. From these vistis I identified the following:
- Eupatorium (hemp agrimony) - 120cm providing height, structure and a mass of pink flowers covered in honeybees
- Calamintha (Calamint) - lovely low, catmint-like plants but less floppy and covered in tiny which flowers
- Stachys byzantina (Lambs ears) - fluffy grey leaves and deep pink flowers that are particularly attractive to 'wool carder' bees.
In addition I have added a couple of different cultivars of species that proved highly successful in our research; teucrium 'summer sun' and veronica spicata 'hiedkind' - both are dwarf varieties which will be useful for who dont have quite so much space of what to grow in pots.
In addition I am trying an agastache that seems to be a bit tougher then the species version of foeniculum and which I hope will be more tolerant to heavy clays.

Interview – The Writers of Transformers 2 (Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman)26.06.09 # Interview # 14 Comments
Yesterday I got to chat on the phone with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the writers of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It was premiere day for the film and the guys were in good spirits. Both were very friendly and easy to talk with. I guess it's hard not to be upbeat when you have two successful summer films under your belt (Star Trek and The Proposal) and a sure-fire millions-maker about to power through the weekend.
The conversation ranges from their future Star Trek films all the way back to their early days on Xena: Warrior Princess. Enjoy!
Movie Moron: Star Trek, which you wrote, is the highest-grossing movie of 2009 so far. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be right alongside it. The Proposal, which you exec produced, was number 1 last weekend. Will there be a point where you guys are so successful that everyone else should just give up?
Roberto Orci: I certainly hope not. Actually we like to discourage competition. No, not really, competition is good for … everybody. It makes everyone raise their game.
MM: How was your experience with Revenge of the Fallen different to the first Transformers?
RO: The first one was a classical experience. Alex and I went off for a few months and wrote two drafts. Then we developed it with Michael Bay in mind. And once we had something we went out and pitched it to him and got him on the movie. With the second one it was much more of a mad dash. There was a writers strike right in the middle of it and we were developing it with Michael, so we had two weeks to do the story before the strike hit. We gave him a 20 page outline and then he went off to develop it and prepare the action based on that outline. And as soon as the strike ended we had three months between the day it ended and the principal day of photography, so we had to literally write pages and hand them over every day. Our first draft. As he was preparing them and giving us notes and feedback with Ehren Kruger who wrote the movie with us. So they were two very different experiences.
MM: Was the first one a bit easier then?
RO: The first one was easier in a certain way. Process-wise it was easier. For sure. No Question. But what was a little bit harder about it was that no one could fully imagine what it would be like having real life humans interacting with full C.G. robots. So the studio was, at certain points, giving us notes like "should the robots talk?" They weren't exactly sure how it was going to work out. Figuring out how to set the tone for the movie was very challenging.
MM: Yeah. Well because you're creating a universe with the first one.
RO: Right, there hadn't been a live action Transformers movie before.
MM: Which is the easiest Transformers character to write for, and which is the hardest?
RO: I think Optimus's voice comes pretty naturally, just because he's such a defined character. We can't really claim any credit in writing his voice. He's been a fully rendered animated character for a long time.
Alex Kurtzman: And Peter Kullen's voice is just seared into our brains since childhood. It's very good to get in touch with your inner Optimus Prime.
RO: The villains are hard because it's hard to make them fun, scary, and fresh all at the same time. (laughs)
MM: What was the most important script note you got from Steven Spielberg? (exec producer of Transformers 1 & 2)
RO: I think it was from Steven … in the original conception, in the very first draft, the back story with the original seven transformers, Steven said there should be a way to link back to Optimus Prime. So the original seven were not primes, they were just the original seven. That's what led us to the idea that if they were the original primes and The Fallen was an original prime and that Optimus was the last living descendant … then came the logic that a only a prime can kill a prime. And suddenly we felt like there was focus to the mythology that led back to one of the main heroes.
AK: More of a circle that tied everything together.
RO: That's for sure the best note we got from him.
MM: And from Michael Bay?
RO: Michael … I'm trying to think of … one of the great notes he gave us when we first started working with him was don't try to write what you think a Michael Bay movie is. Just write what you think is right, don't try to fit it to what you think I want. I thought that was an interesting note that helped us work with him from then on.
MM: What's your favorite scene from the Transformers TV series, and what made it work?
RO: What made it work was, in the modern world, as you see technology rise up around you, the idea of it being personifeied as a modern mythological idea. Before, the Greeks used to personify their environment through the gods, now our environment is so populated with technology that they, in a way, represent kid-like modern Greek gods, these personified technological wonders. Imagine talking to your toys and your technology, I think it has a very multifacited connection to the playful, curious sci-fi brain in anybody. And … what was your first part of that question?
MM: Your favorite scenes or moments?
RO: I always liked the images of Megatron and Optimus fighting on Hoover Dam. It was a huge inspiration for the first movie and what the aesthetic could be for general in the franchise, thinking big that way. Iconic images of robots fighting on iconic landmarks.
AK: Yeah I'd go with that.
MM: Hugo Weaving aside, were there any big star names up for the voices before Michael Bay went with who he did?
RO: Michael was … I don't think he had an intention or need to attach "names." He wanted to be open about people who were trained in voice work to be given equal chance as any big names. We played around with the template of "big names" to be voices, but I think we always knew we were going towards character actors.
MM: Can you point us to a couple of Easter Eggs in Revenge Of The Fallen that fans should look out for?
RO: (long pause and whispering) We're just weighing …
MM: The consequences?
RO: The theoretical considerations of telling you where an Easter Egg is … um … R2-D2 is in Star Trek! (laughs)
MM: I guess that's another question. For all the stuff you do for J.J. (Abrams), like Slusho appears in Star Trek and whatnot …
RO: There are a few Bad Robot Easter Eggs in this movie that you should look for that are a shout out to our friend J.J. I mean, how can you not have Bad Robot Easter Eggs in Transformers?
MM: So are you telling me we might actually see the Bad Robot (J.J. Abram's company logo) in the movie?
RO: Maybe. Or, maybe, one of their … somethings.
MM: With these big summer blockbusters, how much room is there for experimentation?
RO: The truth is that, it's very nice for us to know what the parameters of expectation are. Once you know what your lines are you can color within the lines and that never feels like a limitation. It actually feels like now you get to play freely with a clear understanding of what film you're making. And we've never really been told that we can't do something. Certainly not for any production reasons. We may have disagreements with people over story things, but never … we've never been limited in any way that feels like our creativity is being hampered somehow.
AK: And it's different than writing something that has never existed, that is original. When you attach to a known property your job is to find out what is essential about it that works, that is going to translate correctly to live action. And what has to be sacrificed. And that's where the parameters come from. Not from any external source. We have the freedom to make those tough decisions, and that's frightening, but you're being guided by the franchise if you're really analyzing it.
MM: You've been writing together for 18 years. What's the one idea in your movies that you two have disagreed upon the most and who won the argument?
RO: Let's see …
AK: No, I can't think of anything.
MM: Do you guys tend to speak the same language? Has it always been like that or has it been a progression you've had to work at?
RO: We speak very different languages but we always end up coming to agreement on whatever we're writing. It's literally impossible to write something if we're not in agreement on it. So we end up finding ways to own it or if someone is more right than another we will wait till one person concedes and says "know what? You talked me into it."
AK: And were it a case where we're at an impass, we'll go to a trusted third party for arbitration and say "which one to you like better, we're not going to tell you which one of us wrote it." And literally the only open disagreement that Bob and I ever had was on Alias. That's the only thing I can ever remember.
MM: And the disagreement made it to screen, meaning …
AK: Bob argued that Will and Francie should get together and I thought it was a horrible idea and that turned out to be exactly the right idea.
RO: Oh that's nice. Aaaaaahhhhhh! (laughs)
AK: That didn't turn out though because where is Bradley Cooper now? (Everyone laughs)
MM: You've mentioned that the fan talkbacks are informing future Star Trek films. Are there any specific suggestions that you're going to consider? Any big Red Lights of where NOT to go with the franchise?
RO: As you can imagine every kind of opinion has been expressed in relation to the movie, so there have been both red lights, green lights, yellow lights, the gamut. What they have done is very quickly identified the fork in the road, which is to do a completely original story or to harmonize with canon the way we did in the first movie, where some of the events overlapped with the original universe and were the same even if time travel hadn't happened and some of the harmonies were reversed, like Spock with Uhura instead of Kirk. They very quickly have fallen into those two camps. And that's interesting cause that's the debate we're having with ourselves. So we're literally getting to read this ongoing debate online and it's very helpful.
MM: Seems like it's a lot of people fleshing out all the possibilities.
RO: And just the merits of one philosophy over another more than any specific ideas. It's more about what's philosophically right to do. Very fascinating.
MM: We've been debating this question on the site – Why didn't Nero just warn Romulus if he went back in time?
RO: Nero is intent on returning to Romulus as a conquering hero. And he's got 150 years before there's any threat to Romulus. So his main mission is find Ambassador Spock, the man who failed him, get the weapon of mass destruction, conquer the Federation, and then return to Romulus. To do anything before that would possibly endanger Romulus and prematurely cause war.
MM: Arguably the most iconic Star Trek villain: Khan. What is the chance you're going to bring him back?
RO: What do you think Alex? 50/50? Is that a boring answer?
AK: That's a good answer.
RO: 50/50. Let's flip a coin right now on the phone. If I said 10/90 I wouldn't tell you which direction we were leaning in anyway.
MM: How close is Robert Downey Jr. to signing on Cowboys & Aliens, and how to you persuade a star like him?
RO: Nobody persuades Robert Downey Jr. We spoke to him once and he loves it for all the same reasons we do. Crashing the two genres and this great graphic novel. And he took to it as a fan would. So the question is whether or not his schedule is going to work out. He's an incredibly busy guy. Between being Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes we don't know if he'll be able to put us into the schedule, but we certainly hope he'll try.
MM: You got your first big break working for Sam Raimi on Xena: Warrior Princess. Any future plans to collaborate?
RO: We'd work with Sam in a heartbeat. Yeah, of course! He hasn't asked us but we'd work for him in a heartbeat.
MM: And how'd you feel about Drag Me to Hell?
RO: We didn't see it! I haven't seen anything because we've been basically working on Transformers until the last two weeks. So all free time I spend with my family. But literally everyone we know who's seen it says it's fantastic!
MM: You were saying earlier there's an inter-connectiveness within your works when it comes to Easter Eggs, even between Star Trek and Transformers. Is that weaving towards anything bigger we should know about?
RO: We've gonna have The Enterprise vs. Megatron! No, you're tempted to think in those terms, but that becomes a somewhat corporate decision. You're pitching things owned by two different studios to crash into each other. But it could happen, why not? G.I. Joes vs. Transformers makes a lot of sense, actually.
MM: That's about it. Thanks for taking the time.
RO: Thank you!
AK: Thank you so much.

Doing cardio during a cut is pretty much a given, especially if you're already a few weeks in since it helps you maintain a caloric deficit without needing to drastically decrease your food intake. However, what if you're bulking ? should you still do cardio even though you're trying to gain size ? There really is a large amount of misinformation and confusion about cardio while adding muscle mass, so this article will help clear up all the myths and give you the correct information about cardio while bulking.
Is Cardio Needed When Bulking ?
Bulking is all about gaining muscle mass, but if you stop doing cardio and up the calories by too much you will gain a lot of unnecessary fat. Of course it's certainly possible to lean bulk without doing any cardio, but including moderate amounts of cardio into your bulk can help limit the amount of body fat you gain among many other benefits. Here are a few:
Aids In Muscle Recovery And Growth
Doing low to moderate intensity cardio increases your blood flow, this means more oxygen will be delivered to your muscles and the removal of waste products such as lactic acid/carbon dioxide will also be improved decreasing the amount of time it takes you to recover. Additionally, the increase in blood flow promotes muscle growth the nutrient uptake of your muscles will be increased.
Keeps Your Heart Healthy
Why do people even bother to do cardio in the first place ? To stay fit and keep their heart healthy, your health is just as important as your gains and whether you're bulking or not, if you neglect cardio you'll end up being out of breath by just walking up the stairs. Furthermore, if you don't do any cardio when you're bulking it's going to be ten times harder when you decide to add it into your cut since cardiovascular conditioning drops very quickly when you spend long periods of time without cardio exercise.
However, cardiovascular conditioning also benefits your performance in the gym because when you take big compound lifts into the higher rep ranges you won't be so out of breath, that it affects your next set since you can recover faster.
Reduces Body Fat Gain
Briefly mentioned before when you're bulking you will gain body fat no matter how clean your diet is because it's simply impossible to gain muscle mass without gaining body fat. However, by doing cardio alongside your bulk you will keep body fat gain to a minimum meaning you can make your cuts much shorter and bulk for even longer.
How To Add Cardio Into Your Routine
Despite cardio having many benefits, if you do too much it will impede both your muscle growth and recovery. To prevent this just keep your cardio sessions limited (2-3 times a week) and at a lower intensity (walking, jogging, stair masters, cycling etc) because high intensity cardio burns way too many calories and fatigues your muscles, therefore adding to your recovery time.
So to conclude cardio is definitely recommended during a bulk, but just remember to keep at a low intensity with only 2-3 sessions a week. Lastly, if you have anymore questions about cardio and bulking then leave a comment below.

Eric Lemartinel Saddles Three in Al Ain Season Opener Feature
Al Ain Racecourse becomes the fifth and final of the UAE tracks to begin their season with a seven race card on Friday afternoon, highlighted by a 1600m handicap in which Eric Lemartinel saddles half of the six runners.
The trio, all owned by HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, include Hamza, winner of the race last year under Jesus Rosales who is again in the saddle.
Stable jockey Tadhg O'Shea, is aboard RB Rich Surprise while Royston Ffrench can be seen partnering Tahany.
Hamza also won two of his subsequent outings last season, ridden by O'Shea on both occasions, including the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Gold Cup, a 1600m Prestige contest on the turf in the capital.
The only filly among the sextet, Tahany, has only run once on dirt, when third in a course and distance maiden on her local debut, just over a year ago.
She then achieved her sole career victory, in a 1600m Abu Dhabi maiden and was far from disgraced in four subsequent starts, all in stronger company.
However, it is RB Rich Surprise, four times an Al Ain winner, twice over this 1600m, who received the vote from O'Shea.
"It was a very hard choice indeed," reflected O'Shea. "I would not be surprised if any of the three were to win and Eric and his Al Asayl team certainly have a very strong hand.
"However, RB Rich Surprise was just in front of Hamza in the Al Ain Mile last year and is slightly better off at the weights so that probably finally swayed my decision, though Tahany has only had the one start on dirt.
"She is probably improving but has not had the benefit of a run this season whereas the other pair have," he concluded.
Of the other three in the race, only Sedan has run locally, well beaten at Abu Dhabi on what was his turf debut. Trained by Jaci Wickham, he has won four of his nine dirt outings and should relish the switch to Al Ain.
Helal Al Alawi and Pat Cosgrave have enjoyed a fruitful association during the early part of the campaign and combine with Djomander Mamoora, victorious six times in nine outings, all on dirt, while the field is completed by Saintloup.
Trained by Ernst Oertel, he is the mount of Champion Jockey, Richard Mullen who will be sporting the silks of Champion Owner, Khalid Khalifa Al Nabooda.
There may only be six runners but it looks a fascinating contest.
The sole Thoroughbred race on the card is a 2000m maiden which has attracted the maximum field of 15.
Mullen partners Dawwass, the highest rated of those in the field with an official rating, for his main employer Satish Seemar.
He has to be respected in a weak race in which Ahmad bin Harmash saddles three with stable jockey, Colm O'Donoghue, partnering Forever Song.
This will be just his fourth career start but he failed to beat a rival, at Meydan, on his recent local dirt and stable debut so stable companion Al Madam, could be the trainer's best hope.
One of two three-year-old fillies in the field to be saddled by Bin Harmash for HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, she has at least earned prize money in four of her six outings.
Paolo Sirigu, in the saddle on her three most recent outings, maintains the partnership.
Ali Rashid Al Rayhi also has three runners in the race with stable jockey, O'Shea, opting for Quartier Francais, well beaten on his one previous outing, at Meydan a fortnight ago.
"He needed that debut experience quite badly and has definitely improved for it," said O'Shea. "He should be a lot wiser this time and, hopefully, can give a good account of himself in what does not appear a great race."
