Hi everyone, Halloween will be here before we know it! Steph here to show you how you can create Halloween goody bags for all the trick or treaters, for your child's school friends or even create them for a Halloween party you are hosting.
Divine Twine Collection – Bright White Solid, Black, Natural
Imagine Crafts – VersaFine Clair Fallen Leaves Ink; Memento Markers<br />
Suzy Stamps – Crackerbox – stamps
I started by gathering some different colored bags and twine.
Die cutting circles from white cardstock I stamped the pumpkin trio on each with VersaFine Clair Fallen Leaves Ink. Then I added color with Memento Markers.
Each stamped imaged was then placed atop a larger circle of brown cardstock and adhered to each bag.
To be sure I had the images in the right place, I folded down the tops of each bag and punched holes for the twine. Then I placed the Happy Haunting phrase across each image.
To finish, simply tie the twine to each bag.
Aren't they cute? They didn't take very long to make so if you need a lot for an upcoming event, just set them up assembly line style and put them together.
Thanks for stopping by.

Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh, Minister for Education, has given the assurance that government would encourage and promote the education and training of girls in technical and vocational skills.
In a key note address delivered on his behalf at the 2019 Technical and Vocational Training and Education (TVET) Dialogue in Accra on Wednesday, January 16, 2019, Dr Prempeh said vocational skills training and capacity-building for both genders was a key priority for sustainable development, adding that the low participation of girls in TVET would, therefore, be gradually reversed.
Furthermore, he said, the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET) was embarking on an advocacy and campaign programme to reverse the negative attitude of society towards TVET and make it more attractive to the youth.
His Excellency, Ron Strikker, Dutch Ambassador to Ghana noted that TVET had a key driver of development worldwide and a prerequisite for Ghana's economic development as well.
H.E. Strikker, therefore, urged the Ministry of Education (MoE) and Plan International, Ghana to work with other partners and stakeholders for the implementation of key recommendations that would emerge from the Dialogue for the enhancement of the TVET agenda.
In an address, Mr Solomon Tesfa-Mariam, Country Director, Plan International, Ghana, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), stressed the need for a well‐diversified education system in order to gain sustainable development through education.
Mr Tesfa-Mariam noted that education was a basic human right, linked to human resource development and, therefore, a key tool for national development which should not only include the acquisition of knowledge, but also skills aimed at achieving an all-round individual for the roles and challenges in the society.
He expressed regret that although Ghana had a fairly large educated population, significant progress had not been achieved in the acquisition of skills, a situation which, he said, stifled the creativity, dreams and gifts of learners who did not measure to the expected high grades in examinations, leading to an increase in the rate of school drop-outs and the importation of common skills such as construction of road networks.
He said the chances of girls who dropped out of school, especially due to child marriage, sexual violence, trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, getting a decent job was minimal, adding that without income and financial independence, they became more vulnerable to violence.
Mr Tesfa-Mariam said TVET played a pivotal function in socio-economic development which justified the allocation of adequate resources for modernizing infrastructure in TVET institutions, as well as the training of TVET instructors.
He called for support for private sector participation in the revamping of TVET institutions to ensure that the preferred machinery and equipment at TVET centers for training the skilled workers to produce quality goods with higher efficiency, adding that curriculum should also be reviewed in the light of modern technological advancement.
He also expressed gratitude to the Girls Advocacy Alliance (GAA) for bringing all stakeholders in Ghana's education sector to dialogue on the role of TVET in empowering girls for a brighter future, which Plan International Ghana was pleased to be a part of.
Mr Tesfa-Mariam explained that GAA― an initiative of Plan Netherlands, Defence for Children, Netherlands (ECPAT) and Terre des Hommes, Netherlands, and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs― was a five-year intervention (2016 to 2020) in 10 countries spread across Africa and Asia.
During a panel discussion, Dr Fred Kyei Asamoah, Executive Director, COTVET, disclosed that TVET was fee-free at the second cycle level of education as a means of making TVET important and attractive.
Furthermore, Dr Asamoah said, government had embarked on a programme of building more TVET institutions, upgrading existing institutions and expanding structures.
He noted that when girls acquired skills, unemployment would be considerably reduced, hence the need to review the TVET 5-Year Strategic Plan to facilitate proper TVET governance, quality of education and training, and to improve access.
For her part, Mrs Grace Amey-Obeng, Chief Executive Officer, FC Beauty Group and a member of the Association of Ghana Industries, underscored the importance of internships and attachments as integral components of TVET.
Mrs Amey-Obeng applauded COTVET for the important role it was playing in skills development and urged government to work with and support COTVET in the development of skills and to engage the private sector on TVET.
In his remarks, Mr Asum-Kwarteng, PSM, Plan International, Ghana, called for a radical shift in mindset towards TVET while urging Ghanaians to patronize locally-manufactured products.
Mr Asum-Kwarteng noted that lack of attention to TVET would impact negatively on the girl-child and sounded a note of caution that TVET would be ignored at the risk of Ghana not attaining its Ghana Beyond Aid agenda.
This year's TVET Dialogue was organized by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with Plan International Ghana on the theme: Empowering the girl-child―The role of TVET.

This is 87 km with a lot of bang for your buck. Exciting, tiny roads that wiggle across the valley sides. It might be easy to brush this route off but it's a great starting point for bigger rides. The climb from Bianzone up to Teglio is included in the Gran Fondo Stelvio Santini but gets so crowded with inept climbers during the gran fondo that it's much better to do in your own time, on your own ride, away from the masses.
There's a section on the Statale that's almost unavoidable, but you could take the Sentiero Valtellina if you really hate the main road.
The route back to Sondrio teases with the 'Via Panoramica', which is delightfully short of traffic and swoops and swerves its way back along the south-facing slopes. It's an exciting route that provides amazing views. There's always the option to stick to the Via Panoramica if you prefer to bypass the super scenic, slightly arduous route that is outlined here.

FTF Impresarios Are Awesome: A New Video Introducing Adolfo
We take our work seriously. Reilly Dooris has been in Guatemala for more than a year. He has just been tested by ALTA and guess what, Reilly speaks Spanish at an ILR level 3. He began a zero. A zilch. His level 3 means the State Department would hire him in Spanish speaking countries. Go boy. He is getting good at K'iche' too, the local Mayan dialect. His immersionship has served him well. His community actually thinks something of him. That's nice, don't you think? We do. But there's more to this little gig we call First Things Foundation. The other thing we do is use our deep immersion process to uncover and identify brilliant local people and their brilliant ideas. By living alongside the suffering poor we can with confidence verify and develop potential game changing ideas. We can offer social networks, marketing and investment strategies to local people who would never have such access. And that's exactly what we are doing. Meet Adolfo. He is awesome. He is an FTF Impresario. He is an innovator and above all he is a lover of the people he calls community. Our hope is to shine a light on his work and to help him get momentum for his project. Check it out. Soon we will have investment options and a full profile for Adolfo. Our phase II is beginning. It's exciting.

Creating a pork brand from India, is North Eastern startup Arohan Foods
- +0
- +0
North East India is a beautiful place. Whoever has visited the seven sisters, swears by its beauty. But the long history of insurgency and unrest in the region has always been stymied growth and developmental activities in the area. Even big brands that are normally looking for opportunities to expand into have shied away from NE because of the same reasons. "There is no difficulty in doing business in North East, just that people have not explored the opportunities enough," asserts Anabil Goswami, co-founder of Arohan Foods in Guwahati.
Arohan Foods is one of the known startups from the north eastern part of India. Arohan Foods, is India's first pork integrator. They claim to be pioneers of organized pork production in India and currently produce 10 SKUs of the product in different flavours of sausages and salami. We cannot be sure if it is the only one, do let us know if you have heard of more.
Sons of the soil
Arohan Foods has three co-founders. Anabil takes care of strategy and business development and has previously worked with Tata Chemicals. Ranapratap Brahma, the second co-founder, heads research and new products at the startup. He's an alumnus of IIM, Indore and was earlier working with Bank of Baroda. And the third co-founder is Arindom Hazarika, heads sales and marketing for the startup and has previously worked with Kotak Mahindra Bank.
These three co-founders are the lucky part of the population from NE who had good employment, unlike a majority who still struggle to get enough employment opportunities in the region. But they decided to leave it behind and come and make a difference in their place of birth. "We have always wanted to start something of our own in the NE. And we have been thinking and doing our research on the subject for a long time," explains Anabil. Being born and brought up in the region, Anabil says they have seen the changes that the region has undergone. "I think one is most secure in the place one has been born in and there is a lot of opportunities also that you get there," he says.
They chose the area of pork to startup, because of the fact that about 60% of the entire pork consumed in India, happens in the NE. The demand for the meat is highest and therefore was attractive for the trio. While demand and opportunity was certainly present, how easy was it to startup in such a capital and labour intensive area? "There were many fast food and momo chains here, and we didn't want to be yet another one doing the same thing. We wanted to build something more sustainable and grow it as a brand and take it to the world," says Anabil ambitiously.
Branding pork
Arohan Foods started in 2011 and currently produces their products from National Research Centre on Pigs at Guwahati. Anabil says their own factory is under construction and should be completed by the end of the year. The founding team did a lot of research and market survey to understand the pork business, before starting up. From speaking to farmers, to business chains, retailers, supply chain specialists and more – their research took almost two years to complete before they started up. Their products today are based on the insights that they gained from all the interactions and Anabil happily says they have been well accepted in the market.
Apart from NE, Anabil says they are also looking at markets like Punjab & Haryana to goto in India and even neighbouring countries like Nepal and Bhutan to expand into. Arohan is manufacturing according to highest quality standards and Anabil says they have the capability to increase production as the demand increases. "There is a lot of demand here in the NE only to fulfill. We want to be able to do that first before we look outside. The piggery sector in India is very small compared to the West and there is a lot of scope to develop and build on this," he says ambitiously.
Arohan currently has a 30-member team which comprise of engineering, sales people, doctors, researchers and Anabil says they will reach a manpower strength of 50 in the next quarter. Thankfully Arohan, seems to be a startup not having trouble attracting talent!
Although they started with their own investment, Arohan recently got their Series A funding from Mumbai based Omnivore partners. Anabil says they are also doing well financially and should be breaking even soon.
Currently, most of the advertising for Arohan Foods is done through in-store promos where their products is being sold and Anabil says, they would look at a larger campaign once their factory is setup.
However what keeps the team going, is the motivation that they are making a difference in their native land and helping give employment to people in the region. It is very encouraging to see such initiatives, because when we say startups and entrepreneurs will take the economy forward, you need some gutsy ones like these to venture into areas where even big corporate have feared to trend.

Now that the Christmas rush is over in the embroidery shop I'm back to building wing ribs while working on other projects. I've realized there are some things which could use some more explanation.
When mixing the glue I've found that mixing by volume vs by weight is the easiest. I've also found that the amount of glue needed to put all the gussets on 2 sides of a rib is exactly the amount using 4 teaspoons of Liquid Resin with 3 teaspoons of Powdered Catalyst. I've found that clear plastic drink cups work great. Recently I got some shallow clear plastic pill dispensing cups, they're even better, harder to spill. I use a metal teaspoon since it's easy to level the catalyst with a popsicle stick. It's also easier to wash the metal spoon clean after measuring each ingedient to make sure the unused portion in the can is not contaminated. One of the nice things with Resorcinol is that it washes up with water until it cures and becomes waterproof.
I measure the catalyst into the drink cup and the resin into the pill cup. The drink cup is easier to poor from slowly while mixing in the pill cup. The 3rd cup in the picture is a gauge to double check whether I've put in the correct amount of resin.
I reuse the cup for the Catalyst so I've drawn a line on it as a double check in case I get interrupted while measuring.
That doesn't work as well with the Resin since I use that cup to mix the glue. Since the cups are clear I have a cup which I can set the Resin cup into to check that the correct amount of resin was measured. I also have a line on it for the volume after mixing which is less than the 7 teaspoon total.
I've made 2 little videos to help explain how to install gussets.
The first covers applying the glue, just to the areas needed.
The second covers using the nailer.
These methods seem simple and obvious but they reduced my time to build assemble and nail both sides of a rib from 2-1/2 hours to 1-1/2 hours. With so many ribs to build it's a big savings over holding the nails with pliers and using the tack hammer.

Surprise! Julian and Daniel are back for another off-season ToB Breakdown episode. HBO just announced that it was going forward with a Game of Thrones spin-off (probably a prequel). Four different writers plus George RR Martin himself are involved in putting together speck scripts for four different possible shows. The guys discuss possible time periods for these spin-offs and debate the value of exploring past events and characters.
Quick Reminder: Our season seven GoFundMe campaign is in full swing and has reached 30% of its funding goal. Huge thanks to all of you who have already donated but there's still a long way to go. Luckily there's still lots of time. So head over to https://www.gofundme.com/GoTSeason7 and help us improve the show!
If you can't afford a donation you can be just as helpful and supportive by remembering to Subscribe and leave a nice review on iTunes.

Dear Oliver,
Lately, every time I feel you kick, I feel like you're trying to morse code me a message. It also makes you feel more real, especially because my belly is currently refusing to let you seem more real to me. Most of my students still insist you are not as old as you are because they say (& show us how) their food bellies are bigger than ours. ;) Sometimes, when you kick repeatedly, you make me feel like we're hanging out together. It also shows me how strong you are. For being a foot long and a pound heavy, you are one strong buddy. Of course, we already know that because you have made it this far. You have beat every single odd against you and have made your presence known. It's incredible how often throughout the day I feel you. Even as I type this, you are kicking like no other. It cracks a smile on my face when I have to pee and you kick me and it makes me go eek! haha! You have still been giving me contractions but luckily, not enough to be a rush-to-the-hospital- kind! I know you are anxious to come and play -- trust us, we are so looking forward to holding you, playing with you and raising you to be as amazing as we already know you are-- but you gotta hang in there buddy. At least 15 more weeks! It's not much, I promise! You have to gain more weight and muscles, and grow, baby, grow. You are just as impatient and active as me! I can tell already. But I hope you gain some patience from your Daddy. It's funny how everyone who 'meets' you already tells us we're in for it. Well, we're ready! But not quite yet! A few more months to go, okay? Maybe you don't want to be born in 2013, haha. But please be patient. We'll be waiting, too!
We love you! & thanks for the conversations allll day long. Keep 'em coming.
Grow, Baby, grow!!

For the very first time, researchers' has conducted a study based on the genome from a 52,000-year-old female Neanderthal. The study took place at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in
Not all the early human ancestors and their now extinct Neanderthal cousins are spotted throughout modern human genomes. Two studies have been conducted till now to understand the Neanderthal paramours. The second study shows that a near-complete genome of such high quality has been reconstructed from
The researchers added that this is the first form of a Neanderthal who lived closer to the center of their known geographic range, which extended from the tip of southern Spain, across central Europe and the Middle East, and into Siberia.
The researchers recognized 15 Neanderthal forms that were strongly linked with relatable characteristics in modern humans. Over half of these were associated with skin and hair color or ease of tanning.

If you are much like me, you grew up with the mentality that you can trust conventional medicine. Doctors are trained well and have your best interest at heart and you never really thought twice about whether a medicine prescribed to you was good for your health or not. Some on the other hand are natural skeptics about everything and especially anything to do with their health.
I'm not in any way opposed to western medicine. Nor do I think that the majority of physicians have any malintent. Actually quite the opposite. I praise God for conventional medicine practitioners. Our son, Elias, recently was hospitalized at Cooks Children's Hospital in downtown Fort Worth due to a rare liver disorder that we are still investigating weeks out. His emergency care was outstanding and likely life-saving. His specialists have been equally amazing. Surgeons and ER docs save lives daily and internal medicine practitioners are solving medical mysteries daily. However, I am also a natural skeptic.
Skepticism can be healthy or harmful. If it paralyzes you and you never move forward in any direction then it will harm you. If it leads you to think and research and seek out answers then this it is a virtue. My skepticism ran high during PA school when I got to the pharmacology courses. Thankfully, my professor was also kind of a natural skeptic too and always pointed out how the clinical trials were done and how easily results could be skewed and really taught us to read these trials with a very scrutinizing mind. He showed us drug companies could run numerous trials that showed their medications to be more harmful than helpful and only publish the one(s) that showed their drug as efficacious and safe.
Now this is not to say that all medications are bad just because the system is broken at best. Medications can be lifesaving. Antibiotics save lives but can also cause significant health issues if used inappropriately. Without insulin, type I diabetics would still only survive a few years after diagnosed when now they can live virtually normal lives! With any medical decision the big question is: Does the benefit outweigh the risk? If a medical intervention is low risk but is very likely to benefit you then it's a no brainer. The water gets very muddy quickly however when the risk and benefit ratio is very tight. Moderate risk of harm and moderate risk of benefiting you. This is the time to put your skepticism glasses on and ask the right questions and research yourself. Being a healthy skeptic will go a long way when it comes to your health.
What is killing most Americans? The way most Americans will leave this life will not be due to some freak accident. It will be due to cardiovascular disease and cancers. No medicine can change a person's lifestyle or prevent cancers from forming. Our body was designed to function well when treated well and will break down when abused. This does not mean that all disease and cancer was from bad life decisions but it does mean that our lifestyle choices matter. And they matter a lot. Any athlete knows if they over-train and don't rest optimally, they will get hurt. This is a simple concept that is so lost when we think about our diet, sleep, and stress management. Poor diet? High chronic stress? Sleeping 4 hrs/night? Your immune system WILL be compromised and you will have a high risk of getting very sick. Of course genetics play a large role in our health but epigenetics (aka lifestyle choices) are much more powerful to how these genes will be expressed. If you don't believe this go online and read the hundreds of thousands of people who have put autoimmune diseases into remission with dietary changes alone. There are some cultures who don't even have cases of heart disease and it kills over half a million Americans a year!
All this to say, be a healthy skeptic! Find a Primary Care Physician who is lifestyle-medicine minded and uses medication judiciously. I've been blessed to work for two amazing DOs in Fort Worth who think this way. Do your research and ask around. And if you are making good lifestyle choices but still struggling with weight, fatigue, hormone imbalances, mood issues, or digestive complaints despite a full negative workup, seek out a Functional Medicine Practitioner who is trained to help you search out the root cause of your symptoms. You have to be your own biggest health advocate. You can't rely on your doctor who sees you once or twice a year to just prescribe you medications to help your symptoms. If you don't know what functional medicine is, stay tuned…

Development Roadmap
Explore the road to the groundbreaking Lisk SDK
Objective defined: Objective has been defined on the development roadmap.
In research: Objective is currently being researched and discussion around the topic has started or has been completed.
LIP drafted: One or more LIPs tackling this objective are published on the LIPs GitHub repository for further review.
In development: The alpha reference implementation (proof-of-concept) for a LIP related to this objective is currently being developed.
LIP proposed: The LIP beta/release implementation has been proposed to the Lisk Testnet.
Completed: The Lisk Mainnet accepted the proposal and the objective has been completed.
This phase represents progress already made towards our proposed Blockchain Application Platform, between Lisk Core versions 0.1.0 to 1.0.0.
Introduce a block reward mechanism to the Lisk protocol which adds an milestone based LSK incentive for every block an active delegate forges.
Add support for a 64 byte data field to the type 0 transaction type so that custom identifiers, hashes and other pieces of metadata can be optionally attached to every balance transfer on the network.
Significantly reduce the probability of fork or chain splits and introduce a consistent way for the Lisk protocol to react to forks through valid block determination and windowed rollback.
Introduce a mechanism for version controlled block generation when a distinct change is made to the Lisk protocol.
Introduce a new API to Lisk Core which conforms to RESTful design principles and integrates Swagger as a tool for designing, building, documenting, testing, and standardising the API across the entire application architecture.
Change the database engine used by Lisk Core from SQLite to PostgreSQL, introducing the use of PG-Promise as its primary interface for reading and writing to the database system.
Rewrite the database module of Lisk Core so that it supports a repository design pattern as recommended by PG-Promise.
Add database migration system for version controlled atomic schema changes between Lisk Core releases.
Ensure blocks are persisted atomically and that data corruption never can occur when the Lisk Core application is interrupted or processing fails.
Add support to Lisk Core for creating verified blockchain snapshots of the existing blockchain and the ability to restore them on demand.
Add a transaction pool system to Lisk Core for receiving and processing transactions from peers in a more controlled, efficient and scalable manner.
Add a broadcasting mechanism to Lisk Core for propagating blocks, transactions and multi-signatures in a more controlled, efficient and scalable manner.
Rewrite the P2P module of Lisk Core so that it utilises the SocketCluster.io framework for maintaining data connections, broadcasts and receipts between peers on the network.
Complete the multi-signature solution provided by Lisk Core, so that transactions initiated by a multi-signature group owner can be reliably created, pooled and included into the blockchain when all required accounts have signed a transaction.
Add delegate passphrase encryption so that plain text passphrases are never propagated or stored when managing a Lisk Core delegate node.
Add support for setting a minimum application version accepted by new Lisk Core release proposals made to the network.
Quality and Performance
This phase includes a number of key improvements to API & vote verification performance, developer tooling, and adds benchmarking of nodes.
Allow node operators to connect with different networks (devnet, testnet or mainnet) using a single Lisk Core installation.
Add configuration migration system for easy tracking of configuration changes between Lisk Core releases and migrating existing configurations to the latest release.
Replace Lisk Build with an inbuilt system for building Lisk Core.
Replace Lisk Docker with an inbuilt integration for running Lisk Core using Docker.
Add Lisk Core application benchmarking using NewRelic (https://newrelic.com/), helping to identify API bottlenecks, database query performance problems and potential stack overflows.
Improve performance in Lisk Core for
1) Poor performing API endpoints and
2) Vote transaction verification.
Change the repository structure of Lisk Elements to conform with the "mono" repository ideal. Reference: https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub45424.
Add optional support to Lisk Elements for the sodium-native (https://github.com/sodium-friends/sodium-native) cryptography library, as a backend alternative to TweetNaCl (https://tweetnacl.js.org/#/).
Implement consistent handling of error message propagation throughout the entire Lisk Elements library.
Add static type checking to Lisk Elements by migrating the codebase to: https://www.typescriptlang.org/.
Change the application framework used to create Lisk Commander from https://github.com/dthree/vorpal to https://github.com/oclif/oclif.
Add static type checking to Lisk Commander by migrating the codebase to: https://www.typescriptlang.org/.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for:
1) Fetching a pending multi-signature transaction and
2) Signing a pending multi-signature transaction. In support of the existing multi-signature transaction broadcast command. This will complete the fetch, sign and broadcast workflow.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for:
1) Listing votes placed by an account and
2) Listing votes placed for a delegate.
Architecture and Design
This phase implements a new modular and resilient architecture for Lisk Core.
Introduce a new application architecture for Lisk Core, one which provides:
1) Looser coupling between modules through functional isolation
2) Optional elastic scaling for modules over multiple cores, threads or machines
3) Easier extensibility through the use of a plugin pattern and a supporting API
4) Increased resilience to individual module processing failure. The new architecture will form the framework which new Lisk applications will inherit from.
Implement a design pattern for the database component outlined by the new Lisk Core application architecture proposal. The database component will provide an abstraction layer for Lisk applications for reading and persisting objects.
Implement a design pattern for elegant handling of protocol change in the Lisk Core codebase. One which provides a consistent and straight-forward approach to dealing with protocol changes on an existing blockchain.
Extract logic from Lisk Core to Lisk Elements with the code rewritten in TypeScript. In support of:
1) Migrate elements to TypeScript and
2) Improve transaction processing efficiency.
Extract logic from Lisk Core to Lisk Elements with the code rewritten in TypeScript. In support of:
1) Migrate elements to TypeScript and
2) Improve transaction processing efficiency.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for:
1) Ensuring node dependencies are met
2) Managing node processes and
3) Configuring code parameters.
4) Upgrading node version
Enable developers to write custom transaction types using a standardised interface, making it easy to extend the default set of transaction types provided by the Lisk Protocol with new network functionalities.
Alpha SDK
After completion of the Architecture & Design phase, the architecture used to create new applications will be finalised, allowing developers to start development of proof-of-concept applications that are aligned with the future SDK. The ability to conduct rapid application development via our SDK (Core, Elements, Commander) will only have preliminary support at this stage. Developer caution should therefore be assumed.
Security and Reliability
This phase mitigates transaction replays, scalable peer connections and implements a guarantee that blocks are finalized after 150 confirmations.
Introduce a robust peer selection with periodic shuffling together with a banning mechanism. Further refine the gossip-based flooding mechanism for blocks, transactions and signatures in order to improve information propagation. The changes are intended to make the Lisk peer-to-peer network ready to scale to a large number of nodes and further increase the robustness of the network.
Change the consensus algorithm in order to add block finality guarantees based on classic Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) research, i.e. guarantees that a block is never reverted. Block finality and a robust consensus are one of the key requirements for introducing sidechains and communication between different chains in Lisk.
Bind each transaction to a specific chain by using unique chain identifiers. In general, this will prevent that transactions get replayed on other chains. For instance, a transaction from the testnet cannot be replayed on the mainnet. Also, a transaction on a specific sidechain cannot be replayed on another sidechain.
Extract logic from Lisk Core to Lisk Elements with the code rewritten in TypeScript.
Refactor the codebase of the Lisk Core chain module to reduce the amount of technical debt.
1) Removing callbacks, and replacing with async/await
2) Removing circular dependencies
3) Reducing 3rd party usage
Network Economics
This phase implements Dynamic Fees in Lisk Core.
Introduce a dynamic fee system as a free fee market where the fixed fee for all transaction types will be removed and a minimum fee will be set in the protocol. This minimum fee will be given in terms of LSK per byte used by transactions and any transactions broadcast with a fee below that value will be rejected. For each transaction, it will be up to each user to choose the fee.
Implement an algorithm that recommends a fee for a transaction depending on the preceding network usage demand and the desired maximum time for the transaction to be included into a block.
Change the multisignature process so that nodes can handle a sufficient number of pending multisignatures.
Create a new fee estimation element. In support of: Implement fee estimation algorithm for dynamic fee system.
Network Longevity
This phase focuses on replacing address, block and transaction ID systems to secure the immutability of the Lisk blockchain.
Change the address system such that:
1) registrations are not needed
2) the address space is sufficiently large to avoid collisions of addresses
3) sending money to a black hole due to user failure (mistyping an address) is mitigated.
Increase the length of transaction IDs to avoid collisions.
Introduce a decentralized way of writing the account states to the blockchain in order to avoid the maintenance of all past versions of the protocol by Lisk Core. This re-genesis will allow nodes to synchronize from a new genesis checkpoint while only requiring compatibility with the latest protocol version.
Extract logic from Lisk Core to Lisk Elements with the code rewritten in TypeScript. In support of: Introduce decentralised re-genesis.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for:
1) Performing blockchain snapshots and
2) Restoring blockchain snapshots.
Delegated Proof of Stake
This phase implements improvements to our consensus mechanism. After the completion of this phase, we will enter the Beta SDK stage - where developers will be able to conduct rapid application development.
Change the voting system in accordance with the Lisk values of accessibility, simplicity and decentralization. A simple voting system encourages a high participation of all stakeholders of the ecosystem. Moreover, this new voting system is expected to encourage decentralization and a healthy competition for active delegate slots.
Allow standby delegates to participate in the block forging depending on their delegate weight. This way there will be an incentive for standby delegates to also run Lisk nodes.
Add the possibility of punishing delegates for protocol violations such as forging multiple conflicting blocks in the same time slot or not forging for an extended period of time.
Extract logic from Lisk Core to Lisk Elements with the code rewritten in TypeScript. In support of:
1) Perform uniform ordering of delegates list
2) Change vote system
3) Incentivise standby delegates and
4) Punish delegates who double forge
Create a new application bootstrap element. This will allow the Lisk Core framework and existing elements to be initialised as skeleton applications.
Create a new genesis block element. In support of: Create genesis block from ICO proof.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for: Bootstrapping new applications.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for: Creating a genesis block for new applications.
Upon completion of the logic extraction from Lisk Core to Lisk Elements. Rewrite the remaining Lisk Core in TypeScript.
Beta SDK
After completion of the Delegated-Proof-of-Stake phase, a variety of important objectives will have been completed. These include the provision of: improved blockchain security, dynamic fees, a new ID system, an evolved DPoS, the complete migration of Core and Elements to TypeScript, and the ability to conduct rapid application development via our SDK (Core, Elements, Commander). Our proposed custom token system, ICO mechanism, and sidechain interoperability solution will not be supported at this stage.
ICOs and Custom Tokens
This phase provides the functionality to conduct ICOs, and register & transfer custom tokens on the Lisk mainchain. With this phase, we will reach the Release Candidate SDK stage - where developers will be able to fully bootstrap and develop new applications, albeit without sidechain communication.
Add a transaction type to the Lisk protocol that will allow ICOs to be conducted on the Lisk mainchain.
Implement a mechanism that will create a genesis block derived from an ICO previously.
Implement a custom token system that will allow to registration and transfer of custom tokens on the Lisk main chain. It is yet to be decided if the permanent usage of custom tokens will be allowed, or only a temporary usage, e.g. until a genesis block based on an ICO is created.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for: Creating ICO transactions for new applications.
Add new commands to Lisk Commander for:
1) Registering custom tokens and
2) transferring custom tokens.
After completion of the ICO & Custom Tokens phase, developers will be able to fully bootstrap and develop new applications using our SDK (Core, Elements, Commander), register & transfer custom tokens, and conduct ICOs for applications on the Lisk mainchain. Our proposed sidechain interoperability solution will not yet be supported at this stage. The ability for connecting applications as sidechains to the mainchain will be added in the next phase.
The Blockchain Application Platform
This phase enables communication between Lisk Core and application sidechains. The Blockchain Application Platform is delivered.
Establish a bond between mainchain and sidechains in order to form an authenticated network of Lisk applications.
Implement a decentralized and trust-less way to transfer tokens between chains. Allowing the transfer of LSK between the Lisk mainchain and sidechains. If custom tokens are to be transferable is not decided yet.
Create a new sidechain element. In support of:
1) Establish bond between mainchain and sidechains and
2) Facilitate decentralised and trust-less token transfers.
Production SDK
After completion of the Blockchain Application Platform stage, we have completed all the phases necessary to be able to deliver a fully functioning SDK with scalable interoperability between sidechains and the mainchain, as well as trust-less token transfers.

First published at physicsfocus.
Far back in the mists of time, in the great and glorious days of Britpop, Forrest Gump, and John Major's "Back to Basics", I was a postdoc[1]. It was my first postdoctoral position after completing my PhD at Dublin City University in late 1993 and I loved the research I was doing, the working environment, and the camaraderie and teamwork of the Nottingham group.
But I hated the underlying volatility of the post.
After completing a two-year postdoc, I was funded by consecutive short-term contracts. At any time the funding stream could have dried up, and I would have had to move on. I got lucky: I secured a permanent lectureship post after three years at Nottingham and I've stayed there ever since – the School of Physics and Astronomy is a fantastic place to work.
I know for a fact, however, that the research 'outputs' I had in 1997 – enough for a lectureship at the time – wouldn't get me within sniffing distance of a shortlist today. The bar has been raised dramatically for postdocs over the intervening years. Increasingly, the route to a permanent academic position involves first winning a fellowship through a highly competitive process.
One of the factors which is very often taken into consideration when selecting for both fellowship and lectureship positions is the "mobility" of the candidate. Indeed, the Leverhulme Trust now explicitly states in its advice to applicants that mobility is a key criterion: "Priority will be given to applicants who show evidence of mobility during their academic careers to date."
The blunt statement that mobility will be used as a criterion in selecting fellows – with no attempt to qualify this in terms of the personal circumstances of the applicant – reveals some worryingly simplistic and out-dated thinking from the Trust. They are not alone, of course, in assuming that mobility must necessarily be an advantage for a researcher, as this recent article points out in the context of EU funding programmes. The arguments about mobility in that piece resonated with me because I coordinate a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) project which funds 14 early-career researchers across six countries. Researcher mobility for ITN projects is not only advantageous from the point of view of the European Commission, it's essential – I can't employ a UK national on a Marie Curie ITN contract in Nottingham. (Can someone please make sure that this nugget of EU funding policy wings its way to Nigel Farage? I want to watch him spontaneously self-combust…)
The argument that is often made – and which was voiced during a lengthy twitter debate with my Head of School[2] and others on this topic yesterday – is that a postdoc, let's say Dr. Globetrotter, who has moved from group to group is likely to have greater drive, motivation, and scientific independence than her colleague, Dr. Stayen-Putt, who has remained at the same institution throughout her undergrad, postgrad, and postdoctoral career.
I really don't buy this argument at all.
Skewing the selection process towards candidates who are willing to 'up sticks' and move to a new group every few years immediately disadvantages – and, at worst, discriminates against – those whose personal circumstances and family commitments mean that they do not have the freedom to move. I, for one, would not have been willing to disrupt my children's lives on a regular basis simply so I could demonstrate a commitment to mobility to a fellowship panel. And I find it rather insulting that this could have been interpreted as a lack of scientific drive, motivation, and independence.
The assumption that scientific independence correlates positively with mobility also needs to be challenged. There is no evidence at all that a postdoc who has been in the same institution for their entire career is any less scientifically independent, or any less scientifically motivated, than a researcher who clocks up the air miles. Indeed, I can think of reasons why there could be a negative correlation between mobility and scientific independence – it takes considerable time to establish oneself at a new institution, to learn to interact with a new group of colleagues, and to work out how you can carve out a niche to "make a mark".
Moreover, there's a rather straightforward, pragmatic reason why mobility may not be conducive to establishing scientific independence. Experimental physics is not easy – the 'kit' is often complicated and frustratingly temperamental (particularly for non-commercial systems which the researcher has built themselves). If the experimental infrastructure in an institution is very well-matched to a researcher's scientific goals it would be perverse for them to move simply so that they can tick the mobility box.
And finally, the wonders of the interwebs mean that researchers are connected like never before. In this context, the Leverhulme Trust's focus on mobility as a criterion in awarding fellowships is particularly quaint, given the extent to which research groups now network and interact virtually.

Making My Water-and-Land Penjing (Part 2)Jul 19th, 2010 | By Sandy | Category: Bonsai How To
Indeed, the land of a water-and-land penjing is very much similar to a forest bonsai (here is a post about My First Forest Bonsai). It is the extra shorefront and water area that make a water-and-land penjing has a more complex composition. The overall structural unity of a water-and-land penjing is critical. Design elements such as trees, rocks, moss, water, figurines all need to be in harmony with each other and contribute to the design in a natural and meaningful fashion. Hence, we have to be very careful when selecting our materials. Besides the tree species and the number of trees to be used, we also have to think about the height and trunk angles of the trees, the type of rocks to be used, the size, shape, color, surface details of the rocks, the relative size and the compatibility of the figurines with the penjing, etc, etc… In the end, each and every element in the water-and-land penjing should relate to each other so that the entire bonsai appears as one all-embracing, strongly bonded entity.
Continue from Making My Water-and-Land Penjing (Part 1), let me show you how to make the land of my water-and-land penjing in this post.
First of all, make sure the land part of the water-and-land penjing has a drainage hole. (Sorry, I should have mentioned this earlier in Making My Water-and-Land Penjing (Part 1) for we would need this to be ready before creating our rocky shorefront 😛 ) Properly cover the drainage hole with a drainage mesh so to prevent soil from falling through the hole.
We usually use odd number of trees in water-and-land penjing as well as forest bonsai. When we pick the trees for our bonsai, make sure we pick trees with a variety of heights. In the nature, there are trees of different heights. There are some tall, old trees, while there are some short, young ones. Plus, our penjing will look so boring if all the trees have the same height. In addition, make sure we pick 1-2 trees that are especially tall. They will be the "main trees" in our water-and-land penjing.
Trim off the root ball of our trees, or else our trees wouldn't be able to fit into the shallow container of our water-and-land penjing. Here, I trimmed off as much as 60-70% of the root balls.
Next, we need to design the tree placement to get the most natural looking arrangement. In general, we put the main tree(s) in the center area so to let it grab most of the attention.
Once we have confirmed on the placement of our trees, we add soil. A chopstick will be very helpful here. Poke around with your chopstick and make sure there is no gap in between trees that is not filled with soil. And since we have cut off much of the roots, we need to trim off some foliage of the trees as well, so to make it easier for our trees to adapt and grow in their new home.
This is my water-and-land penjing. Because the sun has been very strong in Hong Kong lately, I have already had my penjing in a shady area for 3 weeks, and probably will keep it in the shade for another week before bringing it out to the full sun. Later, I will also trim and train the branches so to arrange the density of the foliage and make the penjing look better 🙂
