Latino power for your investments
By 2050, 1 in 3 U.S. residents will be Latino, which would triple that segment of the population, according to U.S. Census Bureau. Companies that take advantage of this trend, particularly those who also have a strong presence in Latino markets, could make for good long-term investments, some experts say.
Pepsico (NYSE: PEP; Price: $65.79) and Colgate Palmolive (NYSE: CL; Price: $78.86) get a thumbs-up from Joe Tatusko of Westport Resources. Both companies emphasize Latino brand marketing, product segmentation and distribution, he says. Pepsi has a strong presence in Latin America. Colgate Palmolive has 27 percent of its total sales in Latin America. Tatusko also likes Avon (NYSE: AVP; Price: $28.72), which has a big presence among Spanish speakers in the United States and has products that are unique to Latinos.
Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC; Price: $32.50) and Citigroup (NYSE: C; Price: $4.91) have invested in remittance businesses, which transfer money from local people to people who are in their native countries, says Steven Conville of Macquarie Private Wealth, who recommends both.

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage with unknown etiology. In the present report, the presentations of two sisters are described: one sister had IPH, eosinophilia and a high serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) level; and the other had IPH, pneumothorax, eosinophilia and a high serum IgE level. Both cases had quite unusual presentations. The first patient was 23 years of age, and had suffered from dry cough and progressive dyspnea for four years. Her hemoglobin level was 60 g/L, total serum IgE level was 900 U/mL and eosinophilia was 9%. Her chest radiography revealed diffuse infiltration. She died due to respiratory failure. The second patient was 18 years of age. She had also suffered from dry cough and gradually increasing dyspnea for two years. She had partial pneumothorax in the right lung and diffuse infiltration in other pulmonary fields on chest radiography. Her hemoglobin level was 99 g/L, total serum IgE level was 1200 U/mL and eosinophilia was 8%. IPH was diagnosed by open lung biopsy. All these findings suggested that familial or allergic factors, as well as immunological factors, might have contributed to the etiology of IPH.

DirectMoneyNow.com's Home Business Report
- Thursday, April 05, 2007
Publisher: Ephran Price
Could you use an ADDITIONAL 10, 25, 50 or MORE
checks EVERY month? Web expert shows you how!
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Preface by the Editor. Maybe money can't buy
you love, as the Beatles famously asserted, but
it sure can help with everything else. That's why
this new report by one of the world's top marketers --
Dr. Jeffrey Lant -- comes at such a good time.
Dr. Lant is always worth listening to. He's been
telling it like it is about financial and business
development for over 30 years. However, in this report
he outdoes even himself.
After you read this article you'll say, 'Why didn't
anybody think of this before? It's so darned sensible.'
And you'll KNOW that AT LAST you have the golden
opportunity to use the Internet for your constant
benefit, putting DOZENS and DOZENS of ADDITIONAL checks
in your pocket every single month.
Now dig in, because this article will change your life.
This Is The Magic Word: 'Affiliate'
Every business in the world is looking to grow,
marketing for new customers. They understand that the
Internet is a great place to find them, and they're
willing to give you a portion of their profits if
you'll help them. Here's how it works.
You affiliate yourself with the company; (remember,
it's always free to do so.) Then the company gives
you the necessary marketing materials, including banners,
to post on your site. As you generate traffic and
sales for the company they pay you. It's the easiest
way to make money I know because you can just 'post
it and forget it.' It's as close to money without any
work as it gets.
How Do You Know Which Affiliates To Select?
The issue, of course, is selecting just the right
Affiliates, the ones your visitors will want to visit
and buy from. Select good, solid, popular companies
and you profit; select dogs and you don't. This sounds easy
but it isn't -- as people worldwide have learned by
picking the wrong affiliates and making nothing.
This is where Worldprofit and its incredible Affiliate
Center come in.
Do you have a stockbroker who helps you pick the best
stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.? If you're smart you
do. Such professionals have years of expertise and
access to information you don't. It's their job to stay
abreast of developments and advise you accordingly.
The same is true with picking Affiliates. That's
where Worldprofit's Affiliate Center comes in.
You probably already know Worldprofit. Since 1994,
Worldprofit has been on the cutting-edge of Internet
development creating dozens of sensible applications
for maximizing Web success. They brought all this expertise
to the creation and development of the Affiliate Center.
Worldprofit's professionals do what you would do if you
had the time and expertise. They review hundreds of
Affiliate programs looking for the ones that will pay
off for you consistently and for years to come. In
short, they're expert 'pickers'. As a result you get a
steady stream of money-making Affiliate recommendations,
one after another. As you get these recommendations
you decide if you want each one on your site and want to
profit from it. If you do, the Affiliate Center enables
you to post recommendations on your site in two minutes
or less.
Worldprofit selects Affiliates from top brand-name
companies, Fortune 500 companies, growth companies,
leading companies worldwide in various business niches,
in short solid businesses that will pay off for you every
single day. The goal of the Affiliate Center is to
enable you -- even if you're never made a dime online --
to tap into the world's economic power, day after day.
What's more, if you find additional Affiliates you
like, the Affiliate Center is designed so that you
can also add these to your website in just 2 minutes.
Amazing But True! The Affiliate Center Is FREE!
You might expect something so powerful and profitable as
the Worldprofit Affiliate Center to be very expensive.
It's certainly worth the money, especially given the fact
that you can get dozens of monthly checks from it for YEARS
to come. However, now due to a Special Promotion, Worldprofit
offers the Affiliate Center FREE!
This entitles you not only to post all the great Affiliate programs
you find yourself but also to ALL the Affiliate recommendations
Worldprofit has already made and will make for YEARS to come.
Just think how much all these recommendations will mean for you
and your family. Think of the DOZENS of additional checks you can
get every single month, while making the smartest, most efficient,
most lucrative use of the 'net -- all from home!
To get started, just Register now and
attend today's information-packed webcast for complete details.
If you can't attend the live webcast, after you've registered
(for free, remember) log in and attend the recorded program.
Now thanks to Worldprofit's ultra-clever Affiliate Center
you can start profiting online today and for years to come,
getting one check after another even if you are the newest
newbie with absolutely no previous Internet success.

6sqft's series "My sqft" checks out the homes of New Yorkers across all the boroughs. Our latest interior adventure brings us to the Boerum Hill home of Ample Hills founders Jackie and Brian. Want to see your home featured here? Get in touch!
If you've ever indulged in an Ample Hills ice cream cone, you know that their fanciful flavors (Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, the Munchies, and Snap Mallow Pop, just to name a few!) are perfectly matched by the Brooklyn company's whimsical shops. But founders Jackie Cuscuna and Brian Smith definitely didn't grow in seven years from their first storefront in Prospect Heights to nine locations, including one in Disney World, and a forthcoming Red Hook factory where they'll produce 1 million gallons a year, without a lot of hard work and business smarts.
And it's this combination of playfulness and attention to detail that they've carried over to their adorable Boerum Hill home, which they moved into two years ago with their eight-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter. A triplex in a quintessential Brooklyn brownstone, their home has cheery pops of color, mid-century-modern furnishings, and an eclectic mix of decor and family mementos. 6sqft recently visited the couple to tour their space, hear why they love Brooklyn, and learn about Ample Hills' plans.
Tour this sweet home and hear from Brian and Jackie

Jacket: H&M; White Shirt: Forever21; Scarf: Gift; Leopard Belt: J.Crew; Black Jeans: Express; Boots: Bakers; Jewelry: RUBY by Kaley Elizabeth
It was a cold and rainy morning and Ruby and I didn't get off to a great start. She hates rain so when I let her out to use the bathroom this morning, she made a 50 mph (a little over exaggerated but at least you get how fast she was running) sprint inside and slid halfway across the ground. Normally I would laugh and tell her how silly she is but with an ACL and Meniscus surgery under her belt, I wasn't happy. She didn't hurt anything but I can assure you she will not be doing hat again.
After a very eventful morning, I turned a normally boring outfit into something more colorful with this bright aqua scarf. Since NYFW is over, I am finding inspiration based on pieces I have seen in various collections. And the colors have certainly caught my eye.

By Dr Mark Cooksey
In high volume metal production, process optimisation can be an expensive and time-consuming exercise. While improving efficiency by a small percentage would result in significantly higher returns, you may find that the risks and costs associated with process optimisation are often too large to justify.
Plant processing efficiencies are often highlighted when conducting site comparisons and setting benchmarking targets within your operation. If another operation is achieving higher returns performing the same function, you need to understand why this is occurring, and how you can achieve similar performance.
To achieve these high returns, you need to undertake well-controlled process optimisation. However, well-controlled optimisation using a trial and error approach is difficult and time-consuming to execute in a large operaton where there are significant variation in inputs and conditions.
In place of these optimisation methods, which rely on process conditions to be repeatedly varied and the resulting process performance to be measured, you could implement predictive modelling, such as computer fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling. A shift towards this method of optimisation allows you to build a representation of your process, and more easily alter variables to rapidly gain a reliable view of how any process changes will affect performance.
While CFD modelling does minimise the risks associated with process optimisation, it is not entirely risk free. You need to:
CFD modelling allows you to rapidly investigate the effect of multiple variables on process performance, without having to devote time to multiple plant trials. The benefits include:
CSIRO has extensive CFD modelling capabilities which have been used to accelerate process optimisation and minimise risk
For example, CSIRO has used CFD modelling to optimise alumina feeding in aluminium reduction cells, where there are complex flows of gas and molten bath. There are typically 4-6 alumina feeders in a cell, so it possible is to adjust the amount of alumina fed from each feeder to better balance the alumina concentration throughout the cell.
Some smelters have attempted to optimise the alumina feeders through plant trials, but this is time-consuming (months) and it can be difficult to be confident in the results, because of other variation occurring in the process
CSIRO has built a CFD model of an aluminium reduction cell, and used this to evaluate the effect of different feed rates on alumina distribution in the cell. It was found that using different feed rates for different feeders could produce a more even alumina distribution. This understanding was reached much quicker than it would have been through plant trials.

|looking down the driveway
My weekend was mostly work--cleaning out the store.
Many things to the thrift store, others to sell on Etsy, to keep, to give as gifts.
But there were autumn leaves, everywhere.
Morning coffee by the waterfall.
A visit to a customer to see the soapstone counters in her kitchen.
This magnificent barn is on her property.
Her pond, thick with water lilies,
where she holds skating parties in the winter.
Why the sudden interest in soapstone? I'm saying goodbye to the world's ugliest kitchen. Every surface covered with laminate the color of Silly Putty. Tiles the color of Silly Putty, walls and molding the color of Silly Putty. After ten years of this (granted, only on weekends) we are treating ourselves to a new kitchen.
Soon the hammock will come down, and winter will be in sight.
The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,
as if orchards were dying high in space.
Each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no".
And tonight the heavy earth is falling,
away from all the other stars in the loneliness.
We're all falling. This hand here is falling.
And look at the other one ... It's in them all.
And yet there is Someone, whose hands
infinitely calm, hold up all this falling.
-Rainier Marie Rilke (translated by Robert Bly)

Catskills Weekend
25 comments:
Hello Jen:ReplyDelete
The autumnal tones and tints of the Catskills countryside can surely never fail to enchant and delight. So very beautiful and now you can enjoy them without the burden of responsibility of the store.You must be a little sad but also relieved we suspect.
Your kitchen does look to be a study in shades of clay....but, what excitement, a new kitchen is on the horizon! Keep us posted!!Replies
Jane and Lance--I am already planning the things I want to do--high on the list are a visit the Bibliobarn, my favorite used books store and Two Old Tarts, a new bakery/coffee shop.Delete
I will keep you posted on the kitchen, but promise not to bore you with every agonizing decision and construction headache!
The trees in the second pic are such beautiful colours. Good luck with the design of you new kitchen. M xReplyDelete
Soapstone is the new granite? Soapstone has perhaps an even more organic feel,(although I still love dark green granite we installed in our kitchen when we moved up here), earthier, more natural. It's beautiful and exciting to re-do your kitchen. Enjoy!ReplyDeleteReplies
I love granite--I went to a granite and marble yard once and went crazy. I was just stunned at how many gorgeous granites there are. And it's indestructible. I do think soapstone is the new granite, which is sort of annoying. One of the reasons I am considering it is there a very local soapstone business.Delete
Hello Jen, I agree with you that the present kitchen could use some spiffing up. Is it just an effect of the picture, or is everything really monochromatic? Soapstone would be nice--softer than granite both in appearance an on dishes, and it has an old-fashioned look appropriate for the country.ReplyDelete
I am so happy to see the beginnings of fall color, and the waterfall is intensely beautiful. That barn also is a real winner--so many interesting angles and surfaces.
--Road to Parnassus
Truly, everything is that color. In fact the entire interior of the house was painted that color, including the moldings and ceiling fans. The first thing we did was paint. The kitchen and bathrooms are the last to be done. I have not written about the house here, but probably will soon.ReplyDelete
I can totally see why you like it there. It's beautiful! I didn't realize that hammock was yours! I thought it was a photo from a magazine. Is that waterfall on your property as well?ReplyDelete
Thanks for this sneak peak... I love it! Your kitchen... yes, maybe time to change... I wonder what you will choose... the poem of RMR - wonderful! I love his poems in autumn especially. Thanks so much for this wonderful post - it is opening up my heart! ChristaReplyDelete
Hi Jen!ReplyDelete
The photos are so beautiful! Especially the waterfall and the pond!
Always fun with a new kitchen - yes the colour seem a bit ..salmon inspired...
Thanks for the poem!

Rilke, one of my favourites :) beautiful pics!ReplyDelete
Sorry, but I think it a very fine kitchen as is but it's fun to remodel. I don't know whether I like soapstone or granite better. I think soapstone.ReplyDelete
You have fall already! We're still in summer here - in the 90's. I doubt we will have much of a fall.
Oh my Autumn is there, how beautiful! It is the most gorgeous season, soon it'll be here then. We just have little tiny signs right now, then it'll explode and in a blink it's gone. I guess that's why we love it so much. The kitchen...not so much. Good call on the redo and the soapstone. I must admit I have always hated granite so I'm happy to see it moving on. This will be fun, for us, maybe not you.ReplyDelete
My comment part two. Are you playing around with your layout again or is my computer going buggy?ReplyDelete
Your envoronment always enchants me. It seems that autumn is arriving at you a little bit earlier than here as far as seeing the leaves. They will deepen their colours and start to fall one by one...as the neat poem depicts imaginatively.ReplyDelete
Your kitchen appears "pleasant enough". But, I agree that you'll enjoy a renovation. I'll be curious to see your color palate. And I have faith in your taste.ReplyDelete
I love the Rilke poem! As for the blow by blow of your new kitchen...we'll be hanging on every word and paint chip!ReplyDelete
oh, it's such a beautiful time of year. your photos are beautiful. and the hammock so inviting.ReplyDelete
have fun with your kitchen!

When discussing a comparison of Daoism and Christianity, one question that inevitably comes up is "what is the relationship between God and the Dao?" One simple definition, if you subscribe to most New Age theories, is that they are one and the same, just two different words for the same thing. I disagree with this. It is both simplistic and inaccurate. It is easy to make this assumption, however, since in Christianity God is the most important thing. In Daoism, the various gods don't achieve the same level of importance. Not all Daoists even believe in all the gods (the Daoist gods are somewhat analogous to Catholic saints, though not exactly). What all Daoists do believe in is the Dao. Therefore, someone can't be blamed for initially assuming that God equates to the Dao.

A group in Abia State, Abia Youth Forum, AYF, has lampooned Mr. Chijioke Chukwu, an aspirant flying the flag of the All Progressives Congress, APC for next year's election to the State's House of Assembly for "deliberately peddling wicked falsehood against Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu just to score cheap political points."
In a statement signed by the secretary of the group and made available to newsmen on Wednesday night, the group accused Chukwu of being "nothing but a baby politician who has made himself available to be used by his political godfathers whose antecedents when they held sway in Abia State as governor and in other capacities between 1999 – 2007 left Abia in a very sorry and irredeemable state of coma."
The statement partly reads thus: "Except for the wicked and the malicious, how can anyone accuse Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu of "building only 30 kilometers of roads in the whole of Abia when the Ndioji-Ndi Okereke-Arochukwu road alone is 34 kilometeres with a bridge spanning 70 metres? How can a political neophyte from Aba not see the plethora of quality roads and drainages, some with streetlights, scattered all over the State?
"Some leaders of APC in Abia State are facing trial for allegedly embezzling our money while they were governor, commissioner etc." The statement said the people of Abia state rejected such politicians when they contested again for political positions.
"Today, Abia is recognized as the 'Most peaceful state in Nigeria,' thanks to Ikpeazu. Today, Abia students have come first in WASCE back to back for 3 years since Ikpeazu became governor because of his deliberate policies in education.
Today, Ikpeazu has completed 56 roads while another 79 are at their different levels of completion just after 33 months in office. "Today, the first ever flyover in the history of Abia State is being constructed at Osisioma by Ikpeazu.
Today, the Aba General Hospital is working to full capacity but for the JOHESU nationwide strike because Ikpeazu reopened it and serviced it since it went moribund in 2010. Ikpeazu has also commissioned 2 new General Hospitals at Ohafia and Obingwa in 2016 with another one under construction at Nkporo, Ohafia. "We can go on and on.
We challenge all the leaders of APC in Abia State to bring their combined scorecard for the eight years they led Abia State between 1999-2007 and let us compare them with what Ikpeazu has achieved in just 33 months so the world can see who has demonstrated uncommon love for his people in the discharge of their duties.
"Let us conclude by saying that we will not tolerate any further peddling of falsehood against a working governor like Ikpeazu.
The one who has shown Abians love deserves their protection and we shall protect him from political hawks whose only pain is that the conduit pipe with which they were reportedly siphoning Abia resources has since been blocked by Ikpeazu. This campaign of calumny against the Abia State governor has failed!"Read Full Story

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Former boxing champ Edwin Valero committed suicide in his jail cell on Monday just hours after he was arrested in his wife's killing, police said.
The former lightweight champion used his own clothes to hang himself from a bar in his cell early Monday, Venezuelan Federal Police Chief Wilmer Flores told reporters.
He said Valero was found by another inmate, who alerted authorities in the police lockup in north-central Carabobo state. Valero still showed signs of life when they took him down, but they were unable to save him and he died about 1:30 a.m., Flores said.
The 28-year-old was detained Sunday on suspicion of killing his wife. Prosecutors said Sunday night that they had planned to charge Valero in the killing.
Valero was detained after police found the body of his 24-year-old wife in a hotel in Valencia. The boxer left the hotel room around dawn Sunday and allegedly told security he had killed Jennifer Viera, Flores said.

[ICO] Stater (STAT) - THE FIRST CRYPTO MARKET NETWORK
Stater Vision
Cryptocurrencies (digital currencies that operate independently of centralized banks – using encryption techniques to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds) were first created in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008 by the inception of Bitcoin.
Since the creation of this revolutionary new currency type, over 1000 cryptocurrencies have been created.
By introducing two market platforms and a new global mobile form of payment, Stater will shape the future of cryptocurrency as we know it. Security, simplicity, and speed are to become the hallmarks of Stater transactions.
Stater aims to become the first crypto coin that will familiarize the world to the cryptocurrency revolution by introducing two crypto platforms directly to the general public. The first will promote P2B (peer to business) transactions via the website Staterspots.com, while the second will enable P2P (peer to peer) transactions through Statermarket.com. Both will use the new Stater coin. Complementing the two networks by 2018 will be a total of six mobile applications (3 Android and 3 iOS).
Our P2B platform Staterspots.com will be dedicated to businesses that accept Stater as payment, while Statermarket.com will be dedicated to P2P transactions. Each platform will have its own Android/iOS mobile application allowing users real-time access to new listings in the market.
Stater Application
The Stater application is designed to allow individuals and businesses to transfer Stater in a swift and secure manner. Since users will not need to wait for confirmations the ability to pay or receive payment is instant.
In order to provide the user with a full set of application controls, the application will come equipped with high integrity safety layers.
The Stater application will be released on the Android operating system first, followed later in 2018 by an iOS version.
Stater will introduce the platform Staterspots.com, dedicated to both consumers and businesses alike. Businesses that accept Stater as a form of payment will be able to use the site to:
1. Register the location of their business
2. Insert their products and services into the Stater network
Staterspots.com will come with its own native and dedicated mobile application allowing individuals to locate businesses that accept Stater as a form of payment.
Additionally, a business that is listed on the Staterspots platform will not only receive (free) local exposure but also benefit from the market opportunities arising from such a listing.
As cryptocurrencies become more and more mainstream, the need for businesses to accept
such a form of payment has also increased. Unfortunately, the majority of businesses not only lack the knowledge and tools needed to accept such forms of payment but are also unaware of the advantages of such transactions.
Staterspots.com will seek to close this knowledge gap through focused marketing campaigns aimed to educate those about the benefits of accepting Stater as a form of payment.
Lastly, Staterspots.com addresses the issue of bringing those owning cryptocurrencies and wishing to use Stater for purchasing goods and services from listed businesses–together onto one viable platform.
Buoyed by the exponential growth of P2P buying and selling over the recent years, we at Stater believe this is a trend that will only continue into the future. In order to facilitate the bringing together of those wishing to buy or sell using Stater- in a safe and ease of use environment - Statermarket.com was conceived.
Statermarket.com is a platform dedicated to cryptocurrency users who are willing to sell their new and/or used products locally on a market style website.
Statermarket users who would like to offer their products can easily list or update them online and set a Stater price. A meeting using the encrypted chat function - initiated from either within the website or via the Stater app - can be used to arrange the exchange for Stater. Adjustments to the local currency on the day of payment can be instantly made via the app.
We believe the platform will be of great benefit to both parties. The seller will receive Stater - while the buyer has the opportunity to pay for goods and services in Stater - without the usual remuneration loss when exchanging to fiat.
Statermarket.com will be available on both Android and iOS applications – making listing and browsing user-friendly and readily accessible.
Stater Coin
Stater coins can be used via the mobile application to transfer funds, buy products or services, or for those wishing to invest long-term- simply acquire and hold. We are of the opinion that Stater-with its two networks and six applications to support it- will become an eventual valuable asset.
Stater Value
Being the first cryptocurrency to introduce two online market platforms – enabling both the ability to buy and sell in Stater via Statermarket.com or list as a business and be found via Staterspots.com – Stater will seek to solve THE major problem facing the crypto community today.
As seen in the graph below, Stater's value is set to increase incrementally every following year.
Masternodes and Meganodes
Stater is designed as a full PoS (proof of stake) cryptocurrency, offering a strictly limited number of Master and Meganodes. A maximum of 100 Meganodes and 1500 Masternodes can run simultaneously at any given time and if one Masternode or Meganode leaves the network can another take its place.
In order to set-up a Meganode, a Stater holder needs a minimum of 10,000 STAT and a private key. To form a Masternode, a Stater holder needs a minimum of 1,000 STAT and a private key. Nodes and keys will be available to early investors in the ICO. Should anyone miss the opportunity to purchase either of these Nodes during the ICO, the ability to request a private key will be available via the website statercoin.io. A 'first come, first served' rule is in operation and the moment a node becomes available, those registered are contacted in descending order via an email – containing detailed instructions and a seven-day period in which to set-up a Meganode or Masternode.
Why invest in Nodes?
The team at Stater has developed a rewards system that divides the creation of new Stater coins between Masternodes and Meganodes. 100% of the new coins will be generated by the nodes of which 10% is dedicated to the governance system.
The rewards system will start with a ratio of 1 Stater per day for Masternodes and 15 Stater per day for Meganodes. The return ratio will remain stable for the first decade, rewarding each holder of nodes with the same amount of Stater coins. Rewards will automatically decrease by 50% with each following decade.
The underlying reason for the creation of a limited amount of nodes is to ensure that our initial investors have a stable and guaranteed return of rewards in the following years.
Meganodes Rewards- 15 STAT per day
The chart on the right shows the exact amount
of Stater coins each holder of a Meganode
will receive annually for the first 5 decades
Year 2018 to 2027 - 5475 Stater/year
Year 2028 to 2037 - 2737.5 Stater/year
Year 2038 to 2047 - 1368.8 Stater/year
Year 2048 to 2057 – 684.4 Stater /year
Year 2058 to 2067 – 342.2 Stater/year
The ICO price is 1 STAT = 0.00025 BTC.
A Stater holder will need 10,000 STAT to
form a Meganode. With ICO price, the ROI will be 1.368 Bitcoin annually.
Masternode Rewards 1 STAT per day
The chart shows the exact amount
of Stater coins each holder of a Masternode
will receive annually for the first 5 decades.
Year 2018 to 2027 - 365 Stater/year

Year 2038 to 2047 - 91.25 Stater/year
Year 2048 to 2057 - 45.6 Stater /year
Year 2058 to 2067 - 22.8 Stater/year
The ICO price is 1 STAT = 0.00025 BTC.
A Stater holder will need 1,000 STAT to form a Masternode. With ICO price, the ROI
will be 0.091 Bitcoin annually.
Stater Supply
Stater ICO
We are launching an open Bitcoin (BTC) coin sale to raise funds for the Stater project. We will be
raising a minimum of 1.000 BTC and maximum of 4.550 BTC (both inclusive) during the sale. The
number of coins issued per Bitcoin will be 4000 STAT (1BTC = 4000 STAT). You will be able to buy
Stater using a minimum amount of Bitcoin (0.01 BTC = 40 STAT).

remaining -these will be used towards future development.
Escrow for the raised fund: Yes, BTC multisig 4/5 Wallet.
Stater governance system
The Stater governance system will be implemented in Q1 of 2018 and will provide for the
effective management of financing the future development of the Stater coin. This governance
system will be accessible by our community and used in the decision-making of future features
that will be implemented on the blockchain. Through the proposal system - Meganode and
Masternode holders are able to vote at what will be implemented by Stater's developers.
The existence of a governance system allows Meganode and Masternode holders to exercise
their influence in a transparent and fair way in the way development is undertaken at the
project level.
As we regard the community as forming the foundation of the Stater blockchain we firmly
believe that a governance system will create an environment where faster and better-informed
decisions can be made.
Proposals for future development and expenditure will need to be approved by a minimum of
50.1% of the Masternode-Meganode network before they can be actioned and implemented.
Escrow Wallet
On completion of the ICO, the funds raised will become available to the Stater team. An escrow
arrangement is in place whereby a Bitcoin multisig wallet is active. Before a withdrawal can be
performed, 4 out of the 5 wallet signatories are required to approve the transaction. Financial
transparency and security are hereby guaranteed.

Herring, NCSU Could Make or Break Tigers' Season
|2004-10-30 00:35:41.0- -
CLEMSON - Off the field, it has all the makings of a classic. On the field? That remains to be seen.
Kickoff: 12:02 PM
The week-long talk about Reggie Herring's return to Death Valley today has made for good fodder on sports talk radio and on Internet discussion boards. As defensive coordinator at North Carolina State (4-3, 3-2 ACC), Herring has the Wolfpack defense ranked No. 2 overall in the country. His aggressive, blitzing style of defense seems to be a perfect fit for head coach Chuck Amato's wide-open personality.
Herring's return to the place where he served eight seasons - five as defensive coordinator - has had Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden answering questions all week.
Mostly, does Herring know enough about Clemson (3-4, 2-3) to have the upper hand? Or is it vice-versa?
"He's played enough teams with similar formations, protections, and runs (similar to what) we have that I don't think his familiarity with our offense creates any type of advantage," Bowden said. "He is doing some of the same things defensively there that he did here."
And the constant blitzing he's expected to bring?
"Blitzing doesn't effect the pace of your offense as much as it does schemes," said Bowden. "Blitzing is usually pretty tough on the running game. It forces you to make decisions according to your schemes more so than it does your pace."
Herring, for his part, has been quiet most of the week.
He turned down requests for interviews from Clemson media early in the week, and it was only Friday that an interview appeared in a Raleigh, N.C. newspaper in which Herring addressed coming back to Clemson. Speaking for Herring earlier in the week, Amato said his defensive coordinator will be the same person this week that he is every week.
Intense to the point of exhaustion.
"Let me tell you something about Reggie - every game his intensity level is immeasurable," Amato said. "He doesn't care who it is, he just wants to win. I've worked with him now for seven games and I'm not sure he even knows who were playing, because he's so focused on getting our defense ready. There's no way that it will be any different going back to a place that he worked at for seven years.
"Knowing him, his answer to that question would be 'It's not about Reggie, it's about what Reggie can teach.'"
The question looming over today's game, though, is whether or not the game lives up to the pregame hype?
All the attention given to the "Herring Returns" storyline doesn't mean a thing if Clemson's offense continues to play poorly. The aggressive, blitzing style of defense Herring employs leaves itself open for big plays - if the quarterback is protected and his receivers make catches.
The lack of execution which continues to plague his team prompted Bowden to say it was time for his offense to "grow up" earlier this week. And with wide receiver Chansi Stuckey out with a sprained ankle, quarterback Charlie Whitehurst will be minus one potential weapon.
On the flip side, Clemson's defense has been much better in the past two weeks.
But the caliber of competition must be taken into consideration. Utah State was, simply put, a bad football team. And Maryland's offense has been in nearly a month-long funk.
Stopping State tailback T.A. McClendon and, by extension, the Wolfpack offense will be more difficult.
But Bowden has been encouraged by what he's seen lately, competition or not.
"It seems that we've picked up our pass rush and it seems that our coverage on the perimeter is a lot tighter," he said. "We're stopping the run right now. If you can stop the run and get them behind the chains it makes it easier on you. The last two games we have been able to stop the run.
"The defense wants to see that kind of performance carry on for the remainder of the season. Everyone wants a third performance like that and then a fourth. It will be a challenge because it is hard to perform like that every week."

Reunion Weekend
Clemson teams of 1954, 1979 and 1994 will be recognized at Saturday's game.
Dan's Keys to the Game
1. Get The Offense In Gear
Earlier this week Tommy Bowden said it was time for his offense to "grow up," quit making stupid mistakes and start making plays. He's right. With seven games and a litany of mistakes under its belt, this unit is primed to break out against somebody. An ultra-aggressive North Carolina State defense, led by coordinator Reggie Herring, will come at the Tigers with everything - kitchen sink included. While that will breed significant pressure on quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, it also will present opportunities for big plays. All Clemson has to do is hit them.
2. Keep T.A. on the Q.T.
Clemson's defense has been much better vs. the run in the last two weeks. Of course, Utah State hardly ran it, and Maryland's offense has been in a month-long funk. The Wolfpack present a much larger problem in the person of tailback T.A. McClendon. Though injury-plagued for much of his career, when healthy McClendon combines power and speed out of the backfield. He's also a threat as a receiver. State's offensive line could be a patchwork group this week. Reports say at least one, and perhaps as many as three starters will be out. But regardless of who's blocking, the Tigers must tackle well. None of the hit-and-bounce-off business. Otherwise, this could be another Virginia brewing.
3. Get The Ball, Keep The Ball
Translated, win the battle of turnovers. Clemson is minus 11 in turnover ratio through seven games. But the Wolfpack, surprisingly, is right there with them at minus 10. McClendon is prone to fumble, just as Whitehurst has been plagued by interceptions. Win this battle and you just might win the game.
Kickoff: 12:02 PM

Your final minutes,
and I wasn't there
to rub your back
and stroke your hair.
I miss your voice,
its gentle lilt,
I miss the world
that we built.
Where are you, love?
I am right here.
I hope at the end
you felt no fear.
Come find me, love,
in my dreams tonight.
I'll breathe your name
'til morning light.
I'll trace your name
in foggy breath
on windowpanes
'til nothing's left.
Your final minutes,
and I wasn't there.
I wish you'd known
how much I care.

That's a total profit of over $16,000! Erin Giakoumelos, General Manager of Hellenic Community of Ottawa, was happy to share the news with us: "In total, we sold seven trips last night! Can you believe it? We are thrilled, it definitely provided the WOW factor for the evening!

Multi-award winning composer Jamie Salisbury is best-known for his eclectic and versatile work for film, TV, games, trailers, contemporary dance and pop artists.
Passionate about the storytelling capabilities of music, Jamie uses his broad musical talents to capture emotion and drama in order to help producers and directors achieve their narrative vision.
With a background in jazz and classical music allied with his talents in cutting-edge music production, he is as comfortable working with live musicians and symphony orchestras as he is with synths and samples.
Following a degree in 20th Century Music from the University of Sussex, Jamie pursued his passion for scoring with a Masters degree in Composition for Film and TV at London College of Music. He now enjoys his role as a visiting lecturer on the Composition for Media module at the University of Westminster.
An accomplished pianist and keyboard player with a love of jazz, funk and soul, Jamie has performed around the world, appearing on stage at Ronnie Scott's, and with pop artists including Sir Paul McCartney.
In 2011, he composed the world's first orchestral score for the eBook novel ENDWORLDS: ECHOES OF WORLDS PAST, recorded with a 72-piece orchestra in Prague.
Jamie's recent soundtracks include the feature film UP ALL NIGHT (starring David Mitchell), SUGAR FREE FARM (ITV1), THE BABY BOOMERS GUIDE TO GROWING OLD (Avalon/More4) and Microsoft's SECRETS AND TREASURE: THE LOST CITIES.
His reputation for delivering outstanding production music for libraries including EMI Sony/ATV, led to his music being featured in the 2018 cinematic trailer for CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? (starring Melissa McCarthy).
Other placements include the title theme for BBC documentary BLOOD AND GOLD: THE MAKING OF SPAIN, TV trailers for Disney's PRINCESS ELENA OF AVALOR, Marvel's FANTASTIC FOUR, HOUSE OF CARDS (Germany), TV shows such as TOP GEAR, THE VOICE (BBC), NBA BASKETBALL and WORLD CUP CRICKET (Sky).
His music has featured on TV and cinema advertising campaigns for HOLLAND & BARRETT, CARPHONE WAREHOUSE, HUAWEI and COSTA COFFEE.
Jamie regularly collaborates with the UK's top session musicians and orchestras, including The BBC Concert Orchestra, The English Session Orchestra and the London Community Gospel Choir, and frequently records in Europe with the Max Steiner Orchestra (Vienna), the Hungarian Studio Orchestra and the Prague Philharmonic.
His compositions for stage include the soundtrack for 2017's HELLOWORLD at Birmingham's Genting Arena and his innovative immersive score for WATSON, the Sherlock Holmes themed production from C-12 Dance Theatre.
Jamie is currently creating the soundtrack for a forthcoming 52-part CBeebies series along with co-writer Ellie Wyatt.

Looks like Donald Trump — or at least Stephen Miller, who channels the "president" when statements over 280 characters are necessary — is not happy with former Majordildo Steve Bannon, who's quoted as saying all sorts of unkind things about Trumpland in Michael Wolff's upcoming book Everyone In The White House Smells Like Burning Hair. The White House issued this statement explaining that Steve Bannon was Just Some Guy who used to hang out there:
Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.
Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn't represent my base — he's only in it for himself.
Hahaha, Bannon "had little to do with" Trump's victory. That's good! Bannon and Trump, of course, both go back well past Bannon's official job with the campaign last summer, as Joshua Green detailed in his excellent Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency, which we reviewed here. Bannon was a pet project of the super-rich Mercer family, and once Ted Cruz lost — and thanks to Bannon — so was Trump, who depended on Mercer money to get elected. Trump and Bannon actually met in 2011, if you want to get all technical about it; they were introduced by rightwing dickweasel David Bossie. And before Bannon started getting called "President Bannon," Trump thought he was a campaign genius, but now, he's nobody of course.
The statement continues:
Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was. It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books.
We have many great Republican members of Congress and candidates who are very supportive of the Make America Great Again agenda. Like me, they love the United States of America and are helping to finally take our country back and build it up, rather than simply seeking to burn it all down.
Huh! So Bannon did all the leaks? Isn't that the sort of thing Trump said people should go to jail for? We'll keep you posted on the upcoming prosecution of Steve Bannon, which should be happening in a short period of time now, maybe two weeks.
The readers of Dead Breitbart's Home for Perpetual White Fear — helmed by once and present leader Bannon himself! — aren't at all sure what to make of the news. The site ran two brief stories — each credited only to "Breitbart News" in the byline so no poor Breitbart writer would get doxxed and SWATted — with excerpts taken from the Guardian, and the readership is frightened and anxious to see Daddy Donald fighting Daddy Steve. Most, of course, come down on Trump's side, because, as reader "Orange_Crush_The _Liberal_Mind," put it, "I voted for Trump…I didn't vote for Bannon. I'll stick with Trump, thanks."
Others, like "BugBite," went further and wondered how Bannon could be so disloyal, especially since the whole Trump Tower meeting was a SETUP BY HILLARY CLINTON:
Bannon is really thinking that his carp does not stink and that HE is the KING of it ALL! What is wrong with this guy?
The meeting was NOT "treasonous" stupid maybe, but NOT treasonous! Trump Jr. and Jared had NO idea that they were BEING SET UP by the Clinton camp, which clearly they were. This Russian lawyer is so mixed up with the Clinton's it is not funny.
Looking for dirt on your opponent is 101.
"Teddi" took comfort in knowing that Michael Wolff is a big fake-news liberal who can't be trusted, and then found a Gateway Pundit story explaining the whole BOOK is fake because one of the people Wolff quotes — not Bannon — said he'd never said what Wolff quoted him as saying:
Come on folks !
Look up the leftist author who wrote the book (Michael Wolff), look at the leftist rag (Guardian) that broke this at such a "convenient" time to distract.
Smells like deep state and left trying to leak fake news again as the rope tightens on Hillary, FBI, DOJ, Obama actions…
Edit: It is fake and I'm pi**ed at Drudge for playing along with this…
"NO DACA JUST MAGA" wants Steve Bannon to quit Breitbart toot sweet:
Bannon is a moron and he should resign from Breitbart immediately. I had my suspicions after he picked Roy Moore over Mo Brooks and now it's confirmed.
To be honest, I really think that Bannon is a deep state operator who has infilitrated MAGA-land to bring it down from the inside. Just look at his background. Georgetown, Harvard, Goldman Sachs, Hollywood producer (working on projects with the Weinstein's) and was no where in politics until he stepped in the vacuum at Breitbart after Andrew died.
Yep, Steve Bannon of the DEEP STATE.
Others were certain the whole thing was a Fake News hoax (running on Breitbart, somehow), so they cited what's almost certainly a fake Twitter account (if this is really Steve Bannon, why would it have only 10 Tweets in its history?):
A surprising number — OK, they're Trump voters; why would they pay attention to little details? — thought Steve Bannon had written the book and was just trying to get rich off his former association with Trump.
And some folks refused to have their faith in either Bannon or Trump shaken:
de Verona
Dumb leftists will fall for anything that gives them hope at this point. The pros are in deep dispair as they know they are being hunted…
I won't believe what's quoted of Bannon from this 'Book' until I hear it from him in a live one-on-one interview, otherwise this is most likely made-up and a pay-off from Trump's enemies.
LOL, watch the libtards get all excited over this only to be crushed again.
The left are in full retreat now as the story crumbles. Good times. They can go back to tweeting about the Kardashians soon.
Not sure if that last one meant that the story of the as-yet unpublished book has crumbled in the first few hours since the excerpts went online, or the Russia story, which was similarly debunked as soon as it broke.
One guy, who may have been a counter-troll, who can even tell any more, insisted that the White House statement was itself a fake, because it was released to the lying fake media:
Trump would have Tweeted, if he had wanted to clear the air. It's also NOT Trump's language. That much is obvious.
You'll find out soon enough. In the meantime, go back to reading more FakeNews …
If it's not Donald Trump on Twitter, don't trust it. Also, if it IS on Twitter and it's not by Donald Trump, don't trust it.

My side return is, by definition, narrow. And the raised beds that I have there (filled with garlic and rhubarb) are currently performing very nicely. I have eight varieties of garlic in there, and three of rhubarb. The side return is technically south facing but it's so narrow that the sun hits it for about 90 minutes a day, no longer. I hobbled outside a few days ago to try to weed the garlic beds as I could see that they were overgrown and I was amazed at the difference in the number of weeds in the two troughs. Do you think the one closest to the camera (and main part of the garden) has more weeds because it gets slightly more sunshine? Or do you think it is because that batch of soil had some weed spores / seeds in it? Curious!
On a slightly happier note, weedy musings aside, I was almost drooling at the delicious garlicky smell that arose as I brushed the plants during my weeding session. I can't wait to harvest the bulbs!

The Sarus Crane is the world's tallest flying bird, India's only resident breeding crane and the official State Bird of Uttar Pradesh (UP). Since 2013, the Sarus Crane Conservation Project, run across 10 districts of eastern UP by Wildlife Trust of India in collaboration with Tata Trusts and the UP Forest Department, has sought to involve local communities in monitoring and protecting this iconic bird and the wetlands that sustain it. 'Where the Sarus Sings' is a short film that outlines this community-driven approach to conservation.

Mogilno [1] is a town in Cuiavian-Pomeranian voievodship, in Poland. Mogilno is located in the historic Greater Poland province, and until today it keeps strong ties to Gniezno and Poznań.
Mogilno is a county town located in south-western part of Cuiavian-Pomeranian voievodship on a Mogileńskie lake. Local monastery, one of the oldest in Poland, is one of main attractions of the historic Piasts' Route and Camino Polaco.
Mogilno was one of major centres in early Poland, with a strategic location on a trade route from Gniezno to Kruszwica. In 11th century it was awarded to Benedictine monks that build a monastery here. With time town and monastery lost its importance, and Mogilno became a small town in Greater Poland. With the first partition of Poland Mogilno was taken over by Prussia and got secularised. With the construction of the railroad and creation of county (pol. powiat) council, town gained some importance. Until 1950 it was a part of subsequent forms of Greater Poland.
Mogilno is not a very touristy place, so expect that virtually all information will be in Polish. Some people, especially younger generations, may speak English, but be aware that the level of proficiency will be usually lower than in bigger cities.
Major orientation point is the Mogileńskie lake. The town is located at its northern end. Centuries ago the lake was bigger, and the historic core of Mogilno with the monastery was on a peninsula. Today, the strict centre is located east from the lake, around two squares: Plac Wolności (Liberty Square) and Rynek. At the northern tip of the lake, west from the centre, is located Town Park and behind it – historic villas' district with the town hall, county council, hospital, railway and bus stations. All major roads of the town begin in Liberty Square, except Tadeusza Kościuszki street.
Get in[edit]
Mogilno is located in midway between major Polish cities with international airports – Poznań and Bydgoszcz. It takes more or less than 1h to come from both cities by train. You can check the Bydgoszcz and Poznań airports websites for actual schedule.
Mogilno is connected by train with many other cities in western Poland as well, like Gdańsk, Gniezno, Olsztyn, Toruń, Wrocław, Zielona Góra among others. You can check the timetable here.
Near the railway station, 150m south, there is a bus station. There are many buses that go to other local towns and villages and the station serves as a local transportation hub. Timetables are available here.
Mogilno is located few kilometers away from major road DK 15 that connects Poznań (80 km) and Wrocław (230 km) with Toruń (70 km) and Olsztyn (250 km). From Bydgoszcz (60 km) you can drive the regional road 254.
Get around[edit]
Mogilno is a small town and you can easily walk around it on foot. The distance from the railway/bus station to the monastery is 1,5 km, or about 20 minutes. To get there you cross the park and the centre along the Mogileńskie lake.
There are some taxis available, and the taxi stop is just in front of the railway station.
Some of suburban buses have additional stops in other parts of the town, so you can use them if you really need it.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
If you came by train or bus, you will start your visit in Dworcowa street. Take Narutowicza street, where you can admire 19th century town hall. After crossing Kościuszki street you will be in the Town Park. Take one of paths that go south, to the lake. Walk along its eastern shore, and take one of tiny streets, like Wawrzyniaka one, that will take you to the strict town centre. Turn right and after passing Rynek square you will find st. Jacob the Older church. If you will go further south Benedyktyńska street, after a couple hundred meters you will arrive to the monastery.
After the visit, go back in northern direction Benedyktyńska street on the right side. After Rynek square take Sądowa street. Couple minutes later you will be in the Wolności square – the biggest in the city. It is located in the place of former city gate. Take the Aleja Niepodległości (Independence Alley), soon you will be back in the Town Park. Go along the western shore of the lake and enjoy the panorama of the town and monastery. Before the cemetery, go to the Kościuszki street, and take one of small streets between old villas heading west, to the Dworcowa street and the station.
This walk takes around an hour, without stops.

Based on my own experience of travelling in India (from Mumbai to Chennai) and comparing it with the life I have settled into again in a westernised country. I think everyone should travel these countries while we can, before (if ever) they become like us. The freedom of just being able to talk to the person next to you on the train, shout with other Indians when the bus driver goes too fast over another pot hole – to just express yourself! A girl I met summed it up as the, 'freedom not to wear a helmet on a motorbike if you don't want to'. If you've just read that and thought, 'but that's not very safe!', then we're on two different worlds, my friend.

Communication Brief
Date: 22/08/15
Client: Challenge India
Project: Challenge Rituals
Media: Poster
|Background Briefing:Challenge India are a tourist company that want to gain a wider sector of the Indian tourism market. They link travellers up with homestays, hostels and adventure activities. Their Challenge Rituals take advantage of the more free and wild nature of travel in India, compared to the more strictly controlled life of the traveller's home countries. The Rituals are designed to take westernised people out of their comfort zones and make them feel more free and stronger for the experience. This is not the kind of adventures your parents want you to take. It is going to appeal more to the backpacker traveller than the standard hotel holiday goer.
Compare the difference in lifestyles between home and India. Home is boring by comparison. The makeup of Western civilisation makes people feel sick because it's against their inner nature. India gives release to that nature.
