Stablecoins aren't the answer for Crypto!

Jamie Dimon and Bitcoin
JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon is well known for his hatred of Bitcoin and love for the blockchain. It is understandable that he does not really have any clue what Bitcoin was created for or where its inherent value comes from. In a clip from 2017 at the Institute of International Finance seen HERE. Jamie Dimon was cautioning people saying bitcoin will one day hurt them, that bitcoin has no value, that blockchain is amazing and he loved it. Its really odd that a man would have such a hate for bitcoin and it was also clear that he did not understand the cash he values so highly loses 2-3% per year from inflation.
Inflation of currencies
To put that last statement into perspective, the USD loses between 2-3 cents of inherent value each year. This means if you leave money in the bank the last 5 years your 1 USD from 5 years ago is now worth only $.90. Yes that actually is true and how inflation works, but with bitcoin if you had bought a dollar in 2013 at say around $100 BTC your 1% of the BTC today would be worth over 35USD today. This is because Bitcoin's price is based on supply and demand economics and it is deflationary.
Deflationary currencies unlike inflationary ones cannot print an unlimited supply which is actually what causes inflation. If you have 100 USD in circulation and print off more that 100USD actually loses value. This is why so many people say things like the Federal Reserve needs to end. It is because the printing of the USD, has since its inception caused the currency to lose approximately 95% of its original value and decoupling from Gold made the inflation more like hyper inflation without anyone noticing.
When I was a child the same chocolate bar that now is 2 USD was $0.50 and I am only 33 years old. So in around 25 years the inflation has caused that chocolate bar to increase 4X in price. Now why is this an issue? Lets look at things like minimum wage, what we see is that has not even come close to rising as much as inflation. This actually causes the Rich-Poor gap to increase as it becomes hard and harder for the average citizens to survive. When we look at Jamie Dimon the reason he does not care is because he is the 1% or the 0.01% so to him inflation does not affect anything. People at that level of society can afford inflation, because they have money to invest.
Impact on the average family
Lets look at the normal family and how inflation affects them. First things cost more actually everything costs more: Education, Insurance, Food, Water, Heating, Electricity, Gas, and the list can go on and on. If your income does not match the inflation in society each year you are at a company you actually are making less. The average family used to have more of a nest egg to invest, but with the global financial crisis of 2008 most have not recovered and sorry to say it but the markets look ripe to drop hard again in 2019/2020.
If we do have another recession or worse a global financial crisis, we will see people start to flock towards bitcoin as the government will quantitatively ease and print off billions. Doing so will not really help long term and end up with more debt in society and honestly for many the struggle is real, especially those in the United States and we have seen this time and time again.
JPM Coin and Stablecoins
To wrap this all into the JPM coin and stablecoins in general they are a short term solution. For now they let us store our value pegged to the USD, and potentially in JPM coins case let the banks transfer USD to each other. The Inherent problems around fiat currencies is that they are losing value constantly and are backed by nothing but a government. Stablecoins for now let us hold the USD value of our cryptocurrencies and are a good hedge in the volatile market. What we all need to understand here is Fiat currencies like Venezuelan Bolivars, and the Argentine Peso have been far more volatile and hyper inflation has hit them hard. The thing everyone is missing is when this eventually hits the USD and it already is showing it has on an economic scale what will everyone turn to?
With deflationary currencies the solution is already here. For example BTC has 21 million coins that will ever make it into circulation at the time of this article there are 17,542,112 BTC with approximately 4M lost forever. As demand for BTC grows as it has in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Turkey it will be a greater store of value. It will actually increase in price as you cannot make more and this is why John McAfee, Tom Lee and Tim Draper amongst others have put such a huge value per coin in the future of $150,000 to 1 Million USD.
We all need to realize is Stablecoins are not the future, they aren't the solution. When the USD does meet its fate of hyper inflation as other currencies have, we will see cryptos like Bitcoin be the the world standard. JPM and USDT won't matter when the USD is similar to Bolivars and Argentine Pesos and this is what the future looks like. We cannot put a time on when this will happen, but when it does it is likely Bitcoin will be seen as a world currency. Bitcoin will back all currencies someday and this is why stablecoins are just a bandaid solution for the short term.
Sorry JPM coin, USDT, USDC etc… You are only a for the short term, it is time to see why Deflationary Currencies are the future!

Is Unification (UND) XRP 2.0? IEO April 10th at UTC+8 on Bitforex!
Unification is a Hybrid blockchain solution for Enterprise. Above is my interview with CEO Neyma Jahan I explore what is Unification, how does a WRKchain actually work and why is this something people will quickly adopt. What is a really telling story here is that this is one of the few ICO/IEO/ITO etc… that actually is revenue positive which I honestly could not think of many others that were?
Neyma and team come from a background in real business, and they are focused on bringing blockchain adoption to the next level. They decided to go with the WRKchain or better known by some as a permissioned sidechain so that nodes can work together even if they do not like each other.
An example:
In education, we have tons of issues with plagiarism in universities and several, miss this and people write half copied thesis papers and get away with it. Imagine now for papers across Ivy league to Community colleges a system where professors come to a consensus about papers. Now also think of it this way those professors reading this paper all must read it, evaluate it, and come to a consensus. This will take out the professor knowing that student and give an honest overall evaluation. So each professor is basically a node. Then for each paper, there would be a rotation of who uploads those papers/marks to the Mainchain.
Adoption from the grass roots: The reason its just not happening yet!
As someone who has been extremely involved in the cryptocurrency space the past 2 years, and 6 as an investor I want to point some things out.
- The whole space is full of egomaniacs
When I first got involved as an investor in 2013 buying 2.5 BTC I thought very little of where it could go. It was a small tight group of believers back then. As the space evolved you found there were more and more Craig Wright's. What I mean by that is there were tons of people with massive egos who did not care what others said. It was okay before 2016-2017 as I wasn't so closely following what was going on.
Once I got involved in the space more quit my job and went deep into the space I noticed something. I saw a tom of egomaniacs pretending they really knew what they were talking about, I saw people acting like they knew everything about everything and I saw CEOs who had little to no hope other than big talk and hopium.
In my opinion, we need more humble leaders in the space, people who truly care about it more than making as much money from people as they can. People who aren't showing off watches during a hash war that ended with zero winners, and led us into the longest crypto winter in the spaces history.
The egos need to go in the…
7 Steps to Recovery from a Crypto Trading Loss
Whether you are a newcomer to the crypto market who mistakenly invested a large amount into the wrong coin, or a professional that made a well-researched decision and something still went wrong, the result it the same — you lost your money to the crypto market. This is a big problem, but also a problem that every crypto trader faces at some point.
The reason may be anything, from simple bad luck to the lack of research. Add to that the fact that the crypto market continues to be extremely volatile, and it is clear that not all of your trades are going to end up successfully.
Whatever the reason is, the fact remains that you experienced a loss and that this is a problem which can affect more than your funds. It can also affect your mind and feelings. Since every successful trade that you have the potential to make in the future depends on you, you have to recover first, and only then should you worry about the funds.
The road to recovery is different for everyone, and it will take a different amount of time and effort. However, there are a few general steps that you can take to recover from a crypto trading loss.
Step 1: Stop and calm down
You have just suffered a major loss. It may have been your mistake, or it may have been bad luck, but the result is the…

Crew Update
The month that was…..
Welcome to the second Crew Update for season 14 and apologies for the delay in getting this one out but there has been much going on behind the scenes at the OSC, so the good news is that at least we have plenty to report.
Upcoming events
The OSC Tour of Duty will be a little different this season, as we have decided to select the game against Sydney FC at Kogarah on 4 January. There will be a dedicated OSC bus to take you from Central Coast Leagues Club to Darling Harbour, where you will have the option of visiting the Maritime Museum for lunch and viewing the exhibits there or enjoy your own choice of other nearby attractions. The bus will then take Members on to Kogarah for dinner at the Leagues Club, prior to attending the game. Return bus travel will drop Members back at CCLC after the game. We are planning to have Six Strings brewery beers and soft drinks available on the bus and can also look to organise discounted admission to the Maritime Museum if there are more than 10 Members that are interested in this. Pricing information will be announced soon, once we have been able to finalise discussions with our event partners and we are sure Members will find it to be great value. Numbers will be limited so make sure you book early and as our Emcee will be the infectious Dan, "Dan the Membership Man", entertainment is guaranteed! Rumour has it that there could also be an on-bus screening of the 2013 Grand Final on the way to the game, just to get everyone in the mood!
Gone and Bolted
So, since the last update, the Bolt experiment has now run its course, which in some ways is a relief, as the focus can now be firmly on the team itself. It was certainly an interesting period in the Club's history, which seemingly bought more positives than negatives and it is certain that the Mariners' brand is now more widely known that it has ever been before. Our Members will no doubt have their own opinions on the benefits or otherwise of the World's Fastest Man's time with our club but many will likely wish him well for the positivity he bought with him and it will be interesting to see if he continues his football journey with another club somewhere else in the world. Those that were at the Campbelltown game can at least say they saw him score and then do his renowned celebration and there will be many people to whom he bought pleasure during his time on the Central Coast.
On the pitch
Round 1 saw the team travel north to Suncorp Stadium to face The Aloisi Brothers' Brisbane Roar outfit, in a tough opening fixture. Our fortunes in the land of Bris Vegas have not been great in recent years and so this game was always likely to be a hard one to get anything from. Given the injuries that plagued our team's pre-season, added to the number of players signed late in the window, this game was effectively the first time the team had really played together in anger, added to which, there were no less than 9 debutants donning the famous yellow and navy. All in all, the odds were seemingly firmly stacked against our boys but with Magic Mike Mulvey and Monty in our corner, we surely had a chance?
The opening period was fairly cagey with both sides probing and looking for an opening but it was our boys who broke the deadlock with a swift counter attack that stemmed from Tommy H picking up the ball deep in our own half after defusing a Roar attack and playing a deft through ball with the outside of his boot to an onrushing Connor Pain in the inside right channel. This turned the Roar centre backs around and with Papadopoulos backpedalling, Connor cut inside onto his left foot and unleashed a low shot into the corner of the net past a despairing Jamie Young. He almost repeated the feat minutes later but was denied by the inside of the post, after his driven shot took a slight deflection off a Roar defender, leaving Young a very relieved goalkeeper. Despite making such a bright start, the boys seemed to stop playing attacking football, which inevitably invited Brisbane to take the game to us, however, despite being under an increasing amount of pressure, we were able to hold our lead into the break, thanks in large part to Taggart's nightmares in front of goal.
Whilst the hope was no doubt that the boys would seek to wrest back some control of the game in the second half, the game continued much as the first stanza had finished, with Brisbane dominating possession and forcing us to defend for long periods. It was therefore no surprise when Brisbane seemingly equalised less than 10 minutes after the restart, only for the VAR to chalk it off for a marginal offside in the build-up. That might be the first time the VAR has actually worked in our favour, however, any smugness that might have resulted in quickly vanished when Cissé had a similarly tight offside call rub his maiden A League goal out minutes later. Our luck finally ran out however in the 65th minute, when Taggart finally found his scoring touch to level the game after some pinball play in our penalty area. Despite their increasing dominance, Brisbane weren't really forcing the issue overly but it was still something of a relief when the final whistle sounded with the precious point still in our hands to bring back with us.
So, with a point to show for our round 1 efforts, round 2 saw Melbourne City's expensively assembled outfit visit Central Coast Stadium for our first home game of the season. The press made much of this being the first time Ross McCormack and Lachie Wales had each faced their former teams but it was the former that became the main protagonist, when he was Johnny on the Spot to prod home the opening goal after some hectic play in the City penalty area. His celebrations were understandably muted but it was good to see one of our key attackers open his account for the season and will hopefully be the first of many goals during this campaign. Despite City boasting as impressive a roster as any team in the league, our boys looked comfortably in control for large periods of the opening half, with City largely being limited to half chances. That said, we had again seemed to step off the pace after scoring, which was worrying given that this had handed the ascendancy to Brisbane in the previous round but thankfully City seemed unable to take full advantage of this and it remained 1-0 at the break.
No doubt the coaching staff would have impressed the need to continue playing football in the second half but things did not appear to materially improve after the restart for whatever reason. Thankfully City were equally unable or unwilling to grasp the initiative and it looked for all money like we might hang on for a win that no pundit predicted. Alas, it was not to be and City were able to snatch a scrappy equaliser with just five minutes of the half remaining but at least we were able to hold on until full time, as our opponents finally sparked into life at the death.
With 2 points from two games, we welcomed our third-round opponents to CCS in the form of Adelaide United, who were coming off the back of their midweek FFA Cup Final triumph over Sydney FC. Whilst some may have been hoping that we might benefit from a cup hangover effect, a winning team often has the knack of continuing to win, so the pundits were once almost exclusively backing the away team to take the 3 points. With a win in this game being the next objective in the team's development after two backs to the wall draws, we were all no doubt hoping that the boys would be able to make it difficult for Adelaide. However, they are a well drilled and disciplined side and it unfortunately did not take them long to demonstrate this, with the impressive Goodwin finishing off a swift counter attack in the ninth minute by heading the opening goal after a dangerous cross from Stamatelopoulos, albeit via a deflection off the unfortunate Kye Rowles. Our woes were further compounded seven minutes later after some more deft counter attacking play down our right flank, saw Goodwin return the favour to Stamatelopoulos allowing Adelaide to double their advantage, after some hesitation from Kennedy enabled the ball to be squared for a simple finish. As disappointing as the concession of two goals was, of more concern was our apparent inability to fashion any sort of attacking threat in response. Our only meaningful chances to score both fell to our Captain, whose efforts were unfortunately both wide of the target and it was therefore something of a relief that the scored remained only 2-0 at the break, so that the team could try to regroup during half time.
Disappointingly, our fortunes did not improve significantly after the restart, with Adelaide continuing to enjoy the upper hand in general play and no discernible improvement in our output. 11 minutes after the restart, Adelaide were awarded a free kick some 25 metres from our goal, which Goodwin lined up to take. Whilst the resulting shot was well struck, it was hardly world class and Kennedy appeared to have it covered when the ball inexplicably slipped through both his hands and into the goal, to compound a thoroughly miserable afternoon. Whilst the boys were able to create some half chances in the second half, the reality was that our former keeper was rarely troubled given Adelaide's relative dominance, Whilst our substitutions did seem to inject some positivity in our play the truth is that Izzo was only forced into making one save of note in the second half in response to a well struck shot from Tommy Oar. It was therefore something of a relief when the final whistle sounded without any further damage having been inflicted on the scoreboard.
Round 4 saw the team travel south to square up against a stuttering Melbourne Victory outfit, who had only notched their own first win of the season the previous weekend at the Jets. With much reflection on the Adelaide result having no doubt taken place, we were all hoping to see a reaction from the team in this game and the boys certainly started brightly enough against another tough opponent, with both teams embracing the contest energetically. As encouraging as the boys' start was, Victory had already carved out two very scoreable chances when a telegraphed pass from Golec in our defensive third allowed Victory's marquee man Honda gleefully to seize the ball and drive forward with purpose and to then fire the ball into the corner of Kennedy's net for the opening goal on 30 minutes. 10 minutes later, Victory had their second goal after some loose possession in midfield allowed our opponents to create a swift counter attack that was deftly finished off by Troisi after an incisive Antonis through ball that we failed to deal with. Salt was well and truly rubbed into our wounds, when Brown was able to sweep the ball home after some hesitant defending in our penalty area on the cusp of half time to make it 3-0 at the break.
We can only imagine what was said in the changing room at half time but the introduction of Hoole and Shabow for Oar and McGlinchey certainly seemed to give the team a lift, with Super Mario pulling a goal back on 62 minutes with a clever backheeled finish. There were chances to get a second goal, which would have made for an interesting run-in but these unfortunately went begging and another disappointing game was capped off when Victory netted a fourth goal after catching us on the break in the 94th minute to seal a 4-1 win and send us home utterly empty-handed.
So, a haul of 2 points, a -6 goal difference and 10th place on the ladder caps off the first four rounds, which is incredibly disappointing on the face of it, especially given our collective hopes for an improvement in the team's fortunes this time around. As disconcerting as the start to the season may be, the truth is that the team is still a work in progress and we do not yet have all our players fit and available for selection. The challenge may have become a little harder due to our poor start to the campaign but it would be very premature to write our fortunes off any time soon. Hopefully the international break will have allowed the players and the coaching staff to regroup and focus on eliminating the mistakes that are costing the team dearly as well as working on their structures and rotations. It will therefore be very interesting to see how the team lines up and plays against a very strong looking Perth side this weekend but hopefully we will see an improvement over the performances so far and come away with something from the game. That would then give us something to build on for the next home game against Sydney FC on 1 December and hopefully all fans will still be doing their best to get behind the team that afternoon, as the boys need our support now more than ever.

On good old Taraval Street, right between the Inner Sunset and West Portal, is one of the city's quaintest collections of diners, dives, and Chinese food. I absolutely love it over there. Every corner is laden with fresh dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, and Szechuan chicken. It's a tiny village built on the foundation of hot-and-sour soup, ma po tofu, and bean curd, along with steaming hot pots and mountains of xiao long bao.
But among Taraval's menu of delicious Asian delights is something not found on every block. It's a beefy little treat that has earned its way on to my list of must-try San Francisco street snacks.
Onion pancakes can be found at just about any Chinese restaurant, and often they can be made with beef or pork. Shandong Deluxe, on the corner of 21st Avenue, has taken this classic and given it a little twist. Their $7.95 beef wrap is a pancake rolled around stalks of cucumber, scallion, and sprigs of cilantro. The juicy, thinly sliced beef hugs the lining of the doughy spiral, working its way into every bite. Each piece is packed with crunchy green veggies while the beef's meaty oils bind everything together. It's the perfect savory concoction of chewy and crunchy textures. The two hot dog-sized tubes are sliced into three pieces each, making them an ideal snack for sharing. Crispy, greasy, and so damn good, it's everything I'm looking for.
Shandong Deluxe is a quintessential San Francisco Chinese restaurant, with a great big menu, but don't skip this beef wrap. You'll thank me later.

Fat transfer is a surgical procedure that transplants fat taken from the patient's body to areas of the face and body in order to restore the volume lost because of the process of aging. The procedure is also called fat grafting or fat injection. Typically fat is transferred to the breasts, the buttocks, hands and facial features including the lips, chin and cheeks. Fat transfers are also performed to treat acne scarring.
Fat is removed from one area of the body by the surgeon using liposuction. The fat is purified and turned into liquid form. It is then injected into another part of the body to give more volume. The time taken for the procedure depends on the part of the body from which the fat is harvested, the processing of the fat and the part of the body or face where the fat is transferred to. A fat transfer procedure to the buttocks, for example, may take five to eight hours.
Fat transfer procedures are performed under general anaesthesia, local anaesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on the needs of each individual patient. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.
Recovery from fat transfer depends on the part of the body to which fat is transferred. The recovery time for patients choosing a fat transfer procedure to their buttocks may be about four to six weeks.
Patients can travel by air 10 days after their fat transfer procedure.
Patients should rest for a few days after a fat transfer procedure. They should take all prescribed medications correctly and avoid smoking or drinking alcohol. Patients should avoid strenuous activities and lifting heavy objects for at least a month after the procedure. They should, however start walking as soon as possible to decrease swelling. They should also wear the prescribed compression garments correctly.

I underwent a facelift and the result was astonishing !
Thank-you Prof.Malata. My husband I are very grateful
for the care you took, the natural looking result and
first class care and attention I received whilst in hospital
and at the follow-up appointments.
I would gladly and confidently recommend you to anyone
looking for a first class surgeon. The value for money was
beyond comparison
Lady Patricia Pembury First Class all round. The medical and surgical staff were
wonderful,... patient,.... kind...... and were always very pleasant
to be around.
The hospital was clean and comfortable with en-suite facilities.
No request was too much trouble.....Angels, all of them.
I chose this hospital for two reasons. The successful removal of a
large birthmark from my grandsons back and my daughter-in-law
had a face-lift prior to mine, also under the care of Prof. Malata
Both procedures gave me the confidence to go ahead with mine,
Thank-you to all the staff.
I am 8 weeks post surgery and I am delighted with the results.
Upper and lower eye surgery performed by Mr Fahmy.
A talented professional Surgeon, whose reputation precedes him. The pre op and post op consultations and the Surgery itself - completely satisfied
Having had upper and lower blepharoplasty three years ago with a different consultant from the North East, I was left with embarrassing cosmetic appearance, persistent pain, and low esteem. I visited various consultants on the NHS for different opinions but with no real success. A friend then suggested Moorfields Hospital, and looking online, I chose this option. From my first visit to see him until the present time, I have in no way been disappointed. I found him to be very approachable and sympathetic. He successfully performed revision surgery on both my eyes. I am extremely pleased with the treatment I received and the end result. I was greatly impressed from start to finish with the treatment from Mr. Ezra, Moorfields staff, and secretary, Karen Papier. I would definitely recommend Mr. Ezra and Moorfields to anyone wishing to have treatment, and only wish I had thought to visit there in the very beginning.

I've always been interested in tarot, but it was my Sensual Shaman Immersion that really brought me face-to-face with animal totems. I've always had a passing interest in animal totems and guides, and had even downloaded some basic apps to my phone that I could look up an animal if one randomly crossed my path in a way that made me take notice. But I'd never explored it with the depth I found out this subject area has.
I'm an animal lover and have been all my life. If I could do my life over, I would totally become a zoologist or some kind of person that works directly with a wide variety of animals, not in a veterinary setting, more in a behavioral and observation setting, like a zoo keeper or other animal handler. So animals and animal symbolism have always played a role in my life. When I discovered the Pathfinder deck, I knew I had to bring it into my world and learn more about working with animals as totems and guides.
The Pathfinder deck is an 83-card deck that features a different animal portrait on each card. The Pathfinder can be used in much the same way any tarot deck is used, although there are some readings designed specifically for this deck, like the "Cat's Paw" and "Bird Claw or Talon" spread. Each of the animal portraits was commissioned to an artist, and the cards were then sold online, mostly via word-of-mouth, by each individual artist and at a site about the cards. There's even a blogger who dedicated a blog solely to readings done using the Pathfinder cards, but she seems to have abandoned the project since 2011. There's still some interesting reading there.
Another deck I was recently introduced to is Kenneth Ray Stubbs' Shaman Cards. This deck uses animal symbolism but in a very different way than the Pathfinder deck does. Kenneth Ray Stubbs' Shaman Cards have an image of an animal included amongst three other images: a plant life, a crystal, and a human. Tuning into the animal, crystal, plant, and human for "entrainment" (aligning your vibration with; coming into vibrational harmony with) to these different energies allows users of the Shaman cards to explore these energies and archetypes which are part of our collective consciousness.
The Shaman cards are used differently from typical tarot. First of all, the cards are large, about the size of a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Each card has so many opportunities for entrainment that you really don't need more than one card, although I'm sure someone has devised readings using multiple cards. But each individual Shaman card has so much to offer that it takes time getting through just one. The first step is entraining to each of the four energies (plant, animal, crystal, and human) on the card face, then entraining to the concept in the center (in the image I used to illustrate the Shaman Cards, it is "Strength"). Then you entrain to the concept, and how the four energies on the card relate to the concept in the center. It is a fascinating process that has much to reveal. For more details on how to use the Shaman Cards, as well as how to order them, check out Kenneth Ray Stubbs' site.
I'm definitely a fan of animal symbology on both cards and in life. As I was just writing that sentence, two pigeons swooped by my window. Pigeons are common in the Northeast urban centers, but I checked Pigeon animal totemism anyway, and it says "love of home, love of community. Security in family and numbers. Your foundation, your heritage. The promise of a loving home." Sitting here at my desk, clacking away at my laptop while looking out the window, I am in full glow of the love of my home, the love of my foundations, feeling the community I am blessed to have that offers me strength, love, and common bonds.
If you have any interest in animal totemism, symbology, or animal guides, I encourage you to look into it because it is an area rich in information. Are there any animals that speak to you? Do you have any memories of a particular incident involving an animal? Is there an animal you feel a particular affinity towards? These might be clues that may help you discover one of your animal guides.
During Isis Pheonix's Sensual Shaman Immersion, we used shamanic journeying to discover our animal guide. In a complete surprise, mine was Eel. I will blog about that at some other time. Not a few days after discovering my totem animal through shamanic journeying, I literally came face-to-face with another animal that had uncannily similar information to Eel to offer me. That was American Woodcock, a lovely round bird that shouldn't be in New York City, but was probably flying through on a migratory route, hit a window, and was injured and afraid when I found him huddled in a corner on 3rd Ave. and 43rd St. I'll blog about him soon too. Then all weekend, I have had a fly in my apartment. I even opened the door, shooed him out, and he returned (or another, bigger hairier blacker fly took his place). Fly teaches adaptation, making the best even out of displeasurable circumstances. Fly can also warm us about our ego. Perhaps we are "bugging people" with our big buzzy ego. Maybe we are annoying someone just for kicks, to instigate something for fun or to get things moving.
Animal totemism can work like tarot in that it offers us a lens into our current inner world and allows us to organize our thoughts, perhaps even revealing things to use which we might not see if we were observing our situation just in a literal sense. Allow animals to speak to you and enter the world at a level beyond conscious thought; engage with the universe archetypically.

Prior to 1956, pensions were only available through an employer. Personal Pensions of various types allow all individuals to have a pension whether employed, self-employed, house-person or unemployed.
Personal pensions have been available under different names since Retirement Annuity Contracts were introduced in 1956. Retirement Annuity Contracts were replaced by personal pensions on the 1st July 1988. Stakeholder pensions and Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPS) are variants of Personal Pensions.
Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPS) have become popular because they can offer a broad range of investment options.
Stakeholder Pensions have become popular because they have a cap on charges.
We provide advice on all types of new and existing personal pensions including: Retirement Annuity Contracts, Personal Pensions, Stakeholder Pensions, and Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPS).
A pension is a long term investment. The fund value may fluctuate and can go down, which would have an impact on the level of pension benefit available

A pretty little thing lay bound to the bed, chains linked across her bare body.
Her auburn hair had fallen across her furrowed brow, strands reaching down to mask her eyes.
The muscles in her neck clenched tight as her stomach reached up to meet the cool kiss of the chains around her breasts, pockets of ice biting at her nipples.
He hovered above her, a leg on each side of her, his thick and uncut cock fully hard as it frames shadows across her belly button.
His cock bobs in the air – in truth, he uses what muscles he has to hold tight. He feels the pleasure swirling from the pit of his stomach down to his shaft, reaching its own tendril to skim underneath his testicles.
Pre-come glistens the tip of his cock. He knows this, is aware of this. He uses this to his advantage, letting a strand run down his shaft and across the length of his testicles to drop across her chained stomach.
She murmurs in frustration, a strangled sound somewhere between a beg and a fierce cry. He may be aware of how Come is dripping in a sequence of dots traveling upwards to her breasts but the one thing He isn't aware of is how badly she craves to taste him.
Her thirst is ridiculous, unquenchable. In this moment, bound and at the mercy of Him, she truly believes that if she can't taste him, just a drop even, she will descend into madness.
In a heartbeat it terrifies her, this longing. An image comes fully formed to her, an animal writhing and growling and howling, it's throat raw, spittle bubbling on its lips, pupils large. It's body vibrating with desperation. Somehow she understands that she will become the animal if she doesn't own up to her own feelings, if she cannot accept what she wants and the ferocity of how badly she wants it.
She can feel his come smack against her flesh, can lift her head just enough so that she can see his Cock bobbing in the air, a drop beading on its head, but not His face. She imagines his smile – and her thirst for him grows.

Most people seem to agree that the resolution loss is probably
more in post with de-interlacing software because of the pixel
shift technology etc. employed by Canon on the GL2/XL1 series
to get frame mode.

While resolution isn't everything, it's still important. I don't know how someone could argue that resolution doesn't matter.

I don't think that anyone is arguing that it flat out doesn't matter. It's just that people seem to obsess over it in a way that doesn't take into account the limitations of the delivery system on which the end product will eventually be viewed. That's my take anyway. There's sort of a law of diminishing returns. I believe that the new Optura series camcorders are supposed to be much sharper than the 3 chip prosumer cams of just a few years ago, but that isn't enough to make people abandon their PD150s, for example. As I've posted in here previously, frame mode may theoretically degrade vertical resolution 25 percent or so (or whatever the figures is supposed to be), but the perceived difference is nowhere near as much. In fact, on a typical television there's no difference whatsoever. The degradation is clearly visible on a genuine production monitor, but nobody is going to see that but you.

Oh I totally agree that resolution is over rated. I'd rather have a GL2 than the new Optura any day. What good is resolution if you have a camera that isn't very useful.
That said I want to record all the detail I can. The more information you record the more you can retain after post processing.

I offcourse don't know what your end product is (movie, wedding, documentary) but I too think resolution isn't THAT important.
Okay, if you are going to a blowup, offcourse it's important.
But we can't forget DV is still 720x576 (or something, here in PAL land :-p).
I think controls, colors, motion, ... is much more important with a camera.
Maybe it is an cliché example, but look at 28 days later. They used the XL1 (isn't that cam from 1998??) and they did a blowup.
Ofcourse, they used big lenses, and professional lightning and spend many many dollars to preserve the quality in postproduction, but they still did a blowup.
And ofcourse you could see it wasn't 35mm quality, but I think many people didn't care, because colors were beautiful (many people who didn't know a lot about video and film, including me at that time, didn't even realise that!)
That's just because they were so intrigued by the story and how it was filmed. I think having a great steady dolly movement for example, looks much more professional than a handycam amateur with a 10 minute 35mm piece.
That said :-p, I wish you very much luck with your project, and I hope you can still shoot all the detail you want :-)

Well, I've found out this about Frame Mode.
Looks great "while" filming it, but adds too much smearing or strobing if you convert it to 24p. Maybe it's not meant to go to 24p, who knows.
Normal mode looks like garbage when filming, or more amatuer-like, but looks far better when put into 24p.
The thing I'm more confused about is what settings to use in Vegas for each way of shooting.
For example.
If you shoot everything normally, no FM or Widescreen, what's the optimal settings in Vegas?
NTSC DV - Field Order upper or lower, and when would you use progressive? Only if you shoot in Frame Mode or what? Then you can change the frame rate in the project settings which I believe just alters the way the footage looks in the window. Then what about the de-interlace method? None, Blend or interpolate?
I think I messed with these settings recently and rendered to quicktime and found massive artifacts in the name of interlacing. Usually I don't see the lines like that at all. I did select de-iterlace blend fields and it was shot 60i, not frame mode, at least I think it was. I was not filming most time so I forget.
All I know is that there are so many choices including if you do some post work in after effects as well.
Hope someone knows the best way to get the best footage because I'm all ears.

Bob, Frame mode indeed is not intended to convert to 24P :-)
It's on his own already a method to look like (a little bit) 24P.
They always tell you: if you want to go to 24P, shoot 60i, and if you don't want lots of render work, go Frame Mode.
Well not everyone agrees offcourse, but you can find thousands of topics, so you'll better do a search if you're interested.
On the rest of your questions I don't really have many answers, because I don't really know, but maybe do a search.
9/10 somebody already asked such a question.
Good luck.

I've only ever shot in frame mode, import it into FCP and roll. No rendering and it looks like film. I don't really know how it all works technically, but I know what my results are:

Frame mode or Interlaced?
Hi Everyone,
I have had my GL2 for about a year now and I love it and I have been visiting this site daily since I bought it, but for some reason I fear putting the camera in full frame mode because I use it exclusively for wildlife videography. I am mostly afraid of messing up a good shot because most of the time you only have a minute or two to get that awesome shot and there is no way to get it back if it looks crappy afterwards. I understand the difference between interlaced and full frame mode but what mode do you all recommend I keep the camera in. By the way I have gotten good results in the interlaced mode but maybe I could get even better results in full frame mode. Also, does either mode affect how well the camera does in low light situations? I appreciate all of your help. Thanks Jared

Hi Jared!
As you may know, Frame Mode doesn't capture a full progressive frame, but creates a frame that supposedly loses 25% resolution.
The differences really show up in moving shots. If you were shooting, say, still life stuff, then interlaced would actually give you a -slightly- sharper image.
If you have the time and tools to process the footage in post, then I'd say to capture interlaced - that way you have more information and more options for later, like converting to 30p with some of the avialable deinterlace plugins(at best, you'll still be losing around 25% resolution - at least on non-static shots), or converting to 60p (which can be further stretched in Twixtor, ReTimer, etc...giving nice overcranked footage).
However, if you do not have the time and tools, you may want to just shoot in Frame Mode. It looks good. (Yeah, nowadays you can't just say something looks "good" because it's all subjective and what not. How about...it looks "different" and since it's non-interlaced, closer to film.) I have done a lot of tests comparing footage shot interlaced and in Frame Mode, and as far as resolution, I don't think anyone will notice. (Maybe on diagonal lines you'll see that Frame Mode is a bit more blocky.)
Plus, it's easier to get framegrabs for print, web, etc if it was shot in Frame Mode.
I don't think there is a difference between interlaced and frame mode when as far as low-light shooting is concerned.

Thanks Frank,
I do have some time to put into post, but I think I will keep the camera in interlaced mode in order to avoid resolution loss because often my shots are in full telephoto and I want to keep the resolution as high as possible in order to keep the detail to a max. Thanks again for your reply. Jared

If you want a film look it's not all about 24p. I recently shot a snowboarding event on a gl2 in frame mode and my business partner shot on a dvx100a in 24p. With colour correcting I found that the gl2 footage had a "cinematic" look. It was the first time I filmed action sports in frame mode( I usually use it for dramatic and non sports shoots like music vids) and I was amazingly surprised at the results. I actually preferred the gl2 footage. It appears to have the 24 frame look but the colour was a little more saturated than the dvx100a so it had a sort of half video/ half film look that was very unique and pleasing to me. I don't think De-interlacing and frame mode should be compared too much as frame mode gives footage a motion effect that resembles 24fps. Technically it provides the same function and both have their advantages. De interlacing and converting your footage will not make your footage look identical to frame mode. Frame mode provides a unique aesthetic. As far as resolution loss goes I find it negligable. If you want to make gl2 footage look like film chances are your lookin at mini-35 and a few weeks rendering with magic bullet because colour and the amount of time lighting film are a major factor in why it looks so good, not just the frame rate. In my experience I find it's best to acheive as much of the film effect as you can before editing. If your not transferring your video to film try shooting frame mode with a good cstm preset and using a bit of filtering and colour correction in post. Less headache, less rendering and less artifacts and other issues that can arise from de interlacing and software frame rate changes. If you have a lot of time to spend on post or your transferring to film you probably want to shoot interlaced footage and make it look like film with software. This is only one mans opinion I don't really buy into numbers and stats concerning frame mode I just go with what my peepers tell me.

I had heard a lot about frame mode on the XL1 and when I purchased my GL2 I found it to be really pleasing and VERY film-like.
I was actually surprised with such good results. Of course it still looks a bit like video, but with colour correcting in post I've been able to give it a strong film look.
I also did a test shooting in 60i and then de-interlacing in post but for some reason it wasn't so convincing, still had somewhat a video look. Granted, I only used Premiere for this, but still the difference seems quite evident.
You can also add a bit of motion blur to 30p to make it look more like 24p.

Canon GL-2 Frame Mode: Special FCP Settings?
Hello all,
If I am shooting in Frame-Mode on the Canon GL-2, is there a special non-interlaced setting I should be using in FCP for my Sequences?
The default "DV NTSC 48kHz" setting has a Lower (Even) Field Dominance setting. Is this going to mess things up with Frame Mode footage because it isn't exactly interlaced?
This thread is NOT intended to start a Frame-mode vs. Normal-mode debate. I am only wondering if any adjustments need to be made in Final Cut Pro when using Frame-mode.

Yes, the lower (even) setting is incorrect. You need to select none
or progressive or something along those lines. I'm not on Mac/FCP,
so I don't know what the setting is called. But a setting with that
name (or alike) should be in that list or on that screen.

A total of 130 graduates from SIDMA College Sabah and Sarawak have received their Diploma of Early Childhood Education scrolls during the SIDMA 4th Convocation Ceremony in an atmosphere of pomp and grandeur. The grand ceremony which was held on Saturday, 18th November 2017 at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa, was graced by Assoc. Prof Dr Bustam Kamri, a renowned Early Childhood Education Specialist in Malaysia.
The highlight of this year's convocation was the presentation of the 2017 SIDMA Chairman's Award to Madam Malisa Binti Goudi, a 28 years old kindergarten teacher. Despite being a working woman, she managed to perform exceptionally well by managing her time effectively and to remain focus on studies, as well as balancing her family life of being a wife and a mother with three (3) children; hence her sacrifice was well rewarded. During her studies she have demonstrated her exemplary effort in various co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Her ambition is to be an effective early childhood educator in a childcare centre of her own.
During the same ceremony, Ms. Marlaleez Lisamary Marten, a 23 years old students, currently continuing her Bachelor in Early Childhood Education at UNITAR International University Sabah Regional Centre was awarded the 2017 Top Student Award for demonstrating her outstanding academic performance throughout her studies. She got the highest CGPA from all other graduates as she have persistently stay focus and have strong determination to finish her diploma with the highest CGPA. Being the eldest among her siblings, she have to be the role model for her younger sibling. Apart from that, she believes that having good academic result will pave the way for a brighter future for herself and family.

You can start small in the classroom and/or go "all the way" and have a school-wide event in which all English pupils can compete and vote. Our pupils are creative and love to sing in English. Karaoke is "in" and can provide "playback"; many kids play guitar, oud, flute, drums and other assorted musical instruments and can form their own bands. Soloists might prefer to accompany themselves.
Where should you start? Tape an English-language version of the program and view it in class. That can be the springboard for discussion. Pupils can also tell about their favorite local singers and report on concerts they have attended. Talk about what makes a good singer and performance. Relate to the choice of songs, too. Don't forget to speak about "competition", in general as well as specifically in reality TV. This may well lead to a lively discussion on the surge of reality TV programs.
This may all be staged over a few weeks, one lesson per week devoted to the project. Pupils can work in groups of various sizes or go solo. Group work leads to sharing and learning to work together. Pupils have to decide on the song, singers, players, costumes, stage managers, etc. Rehearsals can be held in class and also assigned as homework. Pupils must also decide on voting criteria. Class composers and lyricists could be awarded extra points for original "premier" performances. (For more on songwriting, refer to my "Notes" columns in The ETNI Rag, Issue #1, Sept. 2006 and Issue #2,
Dec., 2006.) This event lends well to preparing posters advertising the event and the "stars".
As stated above, you can produce the program within the intimacy of your classroom or work together as a team for a school-wide competition and event. If you opt for the first suggestion, invite another class for more audience participation and fun. Prizes would add incentive to the competition.
A possible follow-up to the activity is writing a "concert review. Bring sample reviews from music magazines and the newspaper and discuss the elements that go into writing a review. This is a good time to discuss constructive criticism as well. If you have a school newspaper, some might be printed there. The review could also be prepared for oral presentation as in a radio or TV cultural "review of the week" show.
Although I haven't yet tried this out, I did organize an EFL song fest and hootenanny, American-style, many moons ago. Pupils from my different classes crooned on stage. In addition, I taught some light-footed kids a square-dance and the Virginia Reel, a line-dance, which they performed in traditional dress. A bale of hay was hauled in (I don't remember where I got it, perhaps from a neighboring kibbutz?!) to dress up and set the stage for a most successful and talked about evening.
As I write this article, I'm thinking that this could all lend very well to project work. I'll leave that for someone else to orchestrate!

Third-party results are results which appear in search engines that contain your/your client's business name but aren't on pages on your/client's website.
Typically, these are directories such as Yelp, Facebook, and yellowpages.com, that have a listing for a business. Search engines index these sites and they appear in search results for relevant keywords, usually brand ('business name') keywords.
How does BrightLocal identify third-party results?
When you set up a Local Search Rank Checker report, you can provide a business name in the 'Advanced Settings' section.
The Local Search Rank Checker tool looks for mentions of the business name in the search results. If it finds an exact match it will display it as a third-party result in the report.
Can I stop third-party results from displaying in the Local Search Rank Checker report?
Yes, you can. Just make the following edit to your report:
1) Click the 'Actions' dropdown, then 'Edit Report'
2) Scroll down to the 'Advanced Settings' section
3) Tick 'Show Advanced Settings' to display the advanced settings
4) Uncheck the 'Track mentions of your business on 3rd party sites' checkbox
5) Click 'Update Report' at the bottom of the screen to save your settings.
The next time your report runs, these third-party results will be removed.

Having launched the first publicly available version of the Ignite RATINGS platform at the end of Q3 2018, Ignite's users ("the HIVE") busied themselves with rating and reviewing digital assets and, in the process, generating the world's first conflict-free, crowd-sourced ratings scores for those assets. The HIVE is rewarded for its efforts by sharing any gains made by the Ignite INDEX when taking positions in only the most highly-rated assets – linking ratings to real-world asset performance.
The initial purpose of this article was to provide a quick reference guide as to the current state-of-play and composition of the Ignite INDEX. However, since the launch of our integrated Index page, this information is now contained on the Ignite RATINGS platform itself. Come and register as a user, or have a look round using our guest account login.

Gobble Gobble! Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope all of you are taking some time off to spend with your family (two and four legged!) this week. If your dog is like most, he or she will be giving you "the look" while you and the fam are sitting down to feast. (You know "the look" – that SUPER cute, big-eyed look that pups give you when they want a taste of what you're munching on.) I've read so many articles and blogs instructing me to not feed my dog ANYTHING from my Thanksgiving table. Let me tell you right now – that's just not going to happen. (Who's with me?) Just remember that dogs (just like us!) need everything in moderation….so make sure that your aunt, cousin, brother, AND mother aren't all slipping Fido turkey under the table. Do steer clear of feeding your pooch onions, garlic, chocolate, and anything that might be raw or under cooked. Veggies are always a good option!
Just a friendly reminder – our first PAWLIDAY deal expires tomorrow! The great folks over at Dog Tuff have offered you (the fabulous Wags & Whiskers reader) 15% off toys, collars, leashes, and pet IDs. Check out our post for the coupon code and order everything you need to stuff your pup's stocking. We will have our next deal up this weekend….so be sure to check back. Not sure if it is going to be a FREE give away or another fabulous discount. Either way – you will not want to miss it!
This week, there were just too many adorable Thanksgiving dog pics floating around the world wide web, so I've picked out some of my favorites to share. Hope they put a smile on your face.

We are now in that part of the Church's liturgical calendar that is called "Ordinary Time." This does not mean this part of the liturgical calendar is less important than other parts: what it does mean is that it does not have the specific focus that other parts have, e.g., doing penance in Lent or Christ's Resurrection at Easter Time. One other observation here. I am privileged to be able to attend and celebrate Mass every day: if I am not careful, I can begin to take Eucharist for granted (do recall the old adage that familiarity breeds contempt). Obviously I (and others) would never be contemptuous about the Mass but we can very easily become so accustomed to going to Mass that we take it for granted and not realize the fabulous gift and grace that It is!
Here is a suggestion to deal with this. When going to Mass, get there early enough, e.g. 5-10 minutes before It starts and do three simple things. Remind yourself what the Mass really is – a beautiful powerful impactive co-mingling of God and ourselves whereby we consume Divinity in Communion! Wow! Secondly, thank God for your being present at such a tremendous undeserved gift!
And thirdly/lastly, prepare yourself to celebrate such Communion with God and your brothers and sisters by taking a quick look at the Scripture readings of the upcoming Mass. When we do this for today, we note the following: The First Reading derives from the Prophet Isaiah, the pre-eminent prophet of the Hebrew Testament. This delightful passage proclaims how magnificent it will be for us as God's chosen people when God vindicates us as His/Her chosen people. How? By the coming of Christ to us! Paul in the Second Reading reminds us that we all have great gifts to be used for the "common good". Identify your gifts and ask the Holy Spirit to help you use them for the "common good." Today's Gospel is about the wedding feast of Cana. Much good food for thought here but here focus on Christ's loving desire for the dignity of people in trouble (the hosting people who ran out of wine – a very humiliating situation in this culture!). God totally and always loves us! Rejoice in that and "declare the marvelous works of the Lord among all peoples."

In the Marvel comic-book world, readers have enjoyed hundreds of stories where their favorite heroes join forces – Spider-Man joining Captain America, Iron Man aiding the X-Men, or the Fantastic Four getting an assist from The Hulk. In the world of movies, however, it is a markedly different story. Many of these team-ups are impossible given the way things have shaken down with the rights to the characters and the very competitive studios that produce the films.
Over the last several years, Marvel Studios has come into its own in a major way. Their incredibly auditions and ambitious plan – to create a string of huge blockbusters all occupying the same universe, then tie them together by weaving the same characters in and out of the films – has paid off with remarkable dividends. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it has come to be known, features the characters Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and The Hulk, among others. All of the films featuring those characters are produced by Marvel Studios, and have been astoundingly successful both critically and commercially. The seemingly impossible task of creating a film universe has been achieved, with Marvel Studios films already scheduled through 2016.
So why is it impossible for a character like Wolverine to interact with The Hulk? After all, the two famously fought in comic books. While the two are part of the same universe on the page, on-screen they are indelibly split. There was a time when Marvel was not making movies, and had to sell the character rights to other studios who would then produce the films. The X-Men were sold to Fox; Spider-Man to Sony. Now, Marvel may be regretting its decision, since their own characters have become their greatest box office competition.
There are some instances where the answers to which studio owns which character are murky at best. Take, for instance, the conundrum that arose recently. Because the characters all interact in the comic book world, some of Marvel's heroes fall in a gray area. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were the children of Magneto, who is the greatest enemy of the X-Men. They too were enemies of the X-Men, until they turned to the side of good and joined The Avengers. This makes them characters related to both properties. So which studio gets to use them? As it turns out, they both do, especially when they get competitive.
Marvel is allowed to use those two characters in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron, but due to the rights issues they are not allowed to explain the origin of their superpowers – like the X-Men, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are mutants, but Fox owns the rights to mutants and will not let Marvel use that term – which leaves the Avengers filmmakers in the odd position of having to talk around the characters' origins. Not to be outdone, Fox immediately announced that they too would be including Quicksilver in the upcoming film X-Men: Days of Future Past – meaning fans will have the incredibly strange experience of the same character being introduced on screen within a year of each other, but interpreted in two wildly different ways.
This fierce rivalry between studios and reluctance to let each other use even simple terms like "mutant" is why the news that the X-Men would be featured in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 all the more surprising. Unfortunately, the characters will not actually be meeting – a sneak preview scene of the forthcoming X-Men film will simply appear during the end credits of the Spider-Man film. Why on earth would these highly competitive studios agree to promote another's material? It turns out that Fox had a contractual hold on Marc Webb, the director of the Spider-Man films. In exchange for allowing him to be available, Fox required Sony to promote X-Men: Days of Future Past during The Amazing Spider-Man 2. So while Spider-Man meeting Iron Man on the silver screen may not happen any time soon, knowing that these studios can make small deals with each other may give fans enough hope to dream that maybe one day, a meet-up like that will be possible.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands - A toxic chemical, almost certainly chlorine, was used "systematically and repeatedly" as a weapon in attacks on villages in northern Syria earlier this year, the global chemical weapons watchdog said Wednesday. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said that a report by a fact-finding mission it sent to Syria based its conclusion on dozens of interviews with victims, physicians, eye-witnesses and others. The report does not apportion blame for the chlorine attacks on three villages in northern Syria, OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan said.
The report was not immediately published in full. Chlorine is a toxic industrial gas that is not specifically classified as a chemical weapon. The attacks earlier this year came as Damascus and the OPCW were involved in a complex mission to remove Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons and precursor chemicals from the country. The OPCW said the fact finding mission would continue its work as there was "a spate of new allegations" of chlorine attacks in Syria in August.
