AFRICAAM 41: Genes and Identity (ANTHRO 41, CSRE 41A)
In recent decades genes have increasingly become endowed with the cultural power to explain many aspects of human life: physical traits, diseases, behaviors, ancestral histories, and identity. In this course we will explore a deepening societal intrigue with genetic accounts of personal identity and political meaning. Students will engage with varied interdisciplinary sources that range from legal cases to scientific articles, medical ethics guidelines, films, and anthropological works (ethnographies). We will explore several case studies where the use of DNA markers (as proof of heritage, disease risk, or legal standing) has spawned cultural movements that are biosocial in nature. Throughout we will look at how new social movements are organized around gene-based definitions of personhood, health, and legal truth. Several examples include political analyses of citizenship and belonging. On this count we will discuss issues of African ancestry testing as evidence in slavery reparations cases, revisit debates on whether Black Freedman should be allowed into the Cherokee and Seminole Nations, and hear arguments on whether people with genetic links to Jewish groups should have a right of return to Israel. We will also examine the ways genetic knowledge may shape different health politics at the individual and societal level. On this count we will do close readings of how personal genomics testing companies operate, we will investigate how health disparities funding as well as orphan disease research take on new valences when re-framed in genetic terms, and we will see how new articulations of global health priorities are emerging through genetic research in places like Africa. Finally we will explore social implications of forensic uses of DNA. Here we will examine civil liberties concerns about genetic familial searching in forensic databases that disproportionately target specific minority groups as criminal suspects, and inquire into the use of DNA to generate digital mugshots of suspects that re-introduce genetic concepts of race.

EU: Ukraine should regain EU's trust after gas crisis
"It is necessary to avoid similar crises..."
Ukraine has to further proceed with its political, economic and judiciary reforms to regain Europe`s trust which it had lost during the gas crisis, European Union (EU) officials said on Thursday, Xinhua reported.
"It is necessary to avoid similar crises in mutual relations in future, such as the gas crisis in which the EU member states were hostage to a bilateral dispute," said Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the EU, after an EU Troika-Ukraine meeting which also involved EU external relations commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
The two officials pointed out that Ukraine, as a pioneer of the EU`s eastern partnership programme aiming to strengthen relations between the EU and post-Soviet countries, should stabilize its internal policy, the Czech news agency CTK said.
On his part, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Volodymyr Ohryzko said it was not Ukraine but Russia who interrupted gas supplies in January.
He said Ukraine was interested in a fully-fledged EU membership and visa-free relations with EU countries, and hoped Ukraine could join the grouping in 2012, according to CTK.
Russia cut off gas supplies to Europe via Ukraine on Jan. 7, one week after it halted pumping to Ukraine due to failed talks on pricing and terms of payment. Russia accused Ukraine of blocking the gas flow, while Ukraine argued that Russia`s choice of the gas route was technically "unacceptable."
About one-fourth of natural gas consumed in EU countries is imported from Russia, and about 80 percent of it is transited through pipelines across Ukraine.

Hey everyone,
so I really have been struggling with writer's block the past about 6 Months. I have tried taking a break but it still feels like I have to force ideas out of me where they used to just come to me with no problems. On top of that I seem overly critical and delete every idea because it is not good enough. I've had a couple of those phases, but usually broke through them in a matter of weeks. Anyone here who had a smilar struggle? I'd love to hear some tips and experiences with writer's block
Thanks to everyone who decides to reply!

For every element inside a div it grows it's width , however when we placed a positioned element , here the error message is positioned to relative and has top of 3px. As it is showing container isn't growing. If I use
overflow: hidden; /* the message will be cut off */
How to fix this problem, am I missing any hacks. One way that I can do it growing it's height manually. However I think it isn't the most elegant solution, what if my content changes then I have re-calculate the height again.

The Stratton Story, starring Jimmy Stewart June Allyson and Frank Morgan, 1949.
|Source: http://goo.gl/fvVIN9
There are several similarities in this film to It's a Wonderful Life, including trivial items such as a stop at a train station, a ride in a taxi, and a character named Ernie. More striking are two other scenes. One occurs on Ethel's front porch when Monty pays a surprise visit. He is losing baseball games because he cannot stop thinking about her, and it is distracting him from the game.
Unlike the phone scene in It's a Wonderful Life, in which George and Mary realize their love because of their different dreams, Monty and Ethel share a dream and want to reach success before getting married. However, a lot of the dialogue in this scene in The Stratton Story conveys the same emotion as the phone scene in It's a Wonderful Life. Additionally, the camera angles are strikingly similar in both scenes.
The other scene that echoes It's a Wonderful Life is when Ethel tells Monty that she is pregnant with their second child. In The Stratton Story, after Monty regains his hope, he is playing catch with Ethel and accidentally knocks her to the ground with a fast ball, causing her to quit playing.
"I never had a catcher quit me before," he tells her.
"You never had a catcher before who was going to have a baby," she responds.
After a short delay, Monty calls out, "What?!"
Ethel looks back from the house, but gives no reply.
These delayed, confused reactions – and the responses of the respective wives in each film – are indicative of what Stewart biographer Marc Eliot calls Stewart's "'whatever happened to my other shoe' style of acting" (138).
This echoes the scene in which George learns that he and Mary are expecting their first child. Distracted, George is talking about his money woes and trying to understand why Mary would "ever marry a guy like me."
"I didn't want to marry anybody else in town," she replies. "I want my baby to look like you."
"You didn't even have a honeymoon," George answers, seeming to have missed the message. But it soon sinks in. "I promised you … Your what?"
June Allyson also played the wife of Stewart's character in The Glenn Miller Story (1954) and Strategic Air Command (1955).

|From WPTZ: The two Barbaras involved in
an anti-discrimination lawsuit against the
town of Addison, Vermont.
I rarely hear people act in a bigoted way toward us, and while I'm sure some people don't like our orientation, we don't hear from them often.
We know a few homophobes could make things ugly for us, but so far, knock on wood, things are pretty good.
But it can get ugly even in gay-friendly Vermont. A sad, surprising lawsuit, filed last week, is a case in point, if the allegations in the lawsuit prove true.
The couple, Barbara Ernst and Barbara Supeno, live in the incredibly scenic, little town of Addison, Vermont.
The area is gorgeous. It's in the southern Champlain Valley, with a landscape of rolling farmlands and patches of woods. The Green Mountains rise to the east, the Adirondacks to the west. In between is Lake Champlain, and the Barbaras, as their friends call them have a place on the shore of the lake.
It sounds absolutely idyllic, but for them, not really, apparently.
According to television station WPTZ in Plattsburgh, N.Y/Burlington, Vermont, the Barbaras have filed a lawsuit against some of their neighbors and some town officials, saying there's been a concerted effort to drive them out of town because they are gay.
The couple's attorney, David Bond, said some neighbors, and town leadership are trying to run them out of town.
According to WPTZ:
"It's entirely based on their sexual orientation," Bond said. "Neighbors insulted them, made obscene gestures to them. There were dead animals left on their property.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Bond claims town leadership tried to push the women out of town."
Part of the problem might be that the chairman of the town selectboard is Jeff Kaufmann. (In small Vermont towns, the chairman of the selectboard is kind of like the position of mayor) Kaufmann is also Addison's zoning and planning administrator, which is the go-to guy to get a permit to say, add a porch onto the house, or build a fence or a handicapped accessibility ramp.
Kaufmann is also a Baptist minister. Some Baptist ministers are pretty hostile toward gay people, but I don't know if Kaufmann is. He declined to comment on the lawsuit, according to WPTZ and other media sources.
In any event, a lot of people might be surprised to see such a lawsuit come out of Vermont.
The state has a reputation as being quite liberal, and has been in the forefront of granting gays rights such as marriage and anti-discrimination laws.
But, like everywhere, Vermont has subsets of religious evangelicals, closed minded souls and a scattering of simple, homophobic bigots.
Life in Vermont for the LBGT community, then, isn't always a Nirvana of acceptance good friendly vibes.
Most Vermont towns are small. They often have cliques, and some of those cliques basically run everything in town. And it's amazing what damage or disruption a clique in a small Vermont village can cause if said group is incompetent, stupid, mean-spirited, ignorant or comprised of bullies.
That kind of ridiculousness doesn't happen too, too often, but it does happen.
And that might be what's going on with the Barbaras of Addison.
I don't know the selectboard or zoning administrators in Addison. I don't know whether this lawsuit has merit. We'll find that out eventually. Part of it could be the Barbaras' personalities somehow rubbed people in Addison the wrong way, that kind of thing happens.
Then again, the Barbaras might be the sweetest people in the world, and some people in the town of Addison are homophobic trolls. Given the allegations in the Barbaras' lawsuit, homophobic trolls in Addison seem like they might be the culprits.
Mere personal dislike of the Barbaras probably wouldn't lead to the following, as alleged in the lawsuit:
- The town wouldn't response to grievances they filed about the neighbors' harassment.
- The Barbaras tried to apply for a permit to install a handicap ramp for Supreno's mother. The couple need to get the permit to avoid a $100 fine, but the town clerk refused to accept the application.
- A weird letter, written by someone who is grammatically and spelling challenged, circulated in town that said the Barbaras are scam artists and that they pretended to be nice, involved people to cover up their "devious and vicious behavior."
- An attorney got a weird letter that was purported to be from the Barbaras (it wasn't) that said the couple love screwing around with lawyers by obtaining attorney's services, then never paying up.
- The couple needed to have a hearing to get permission to put up a fence around their property to fend off their offensive neighbors. Two public hearings were held regarding the fence, but nobody from the town bothered to tell the Barbaras when and where the hearings were.
So the bottom line is, homophobia ain't dead, and bigots find ways around anti-discrimination laws, and if this lawsuit has merit, there goes your proof.
The LBGT community has made lots of strides toward equality, but it'll take a lot more work to change everybody's minds.

Happy Birthday to me...
So, I have let my birthday come and go silently on this blog for over 2 years. But today is different. Today I am Th-Th-Thirty! I can hardly get the word out! Part of me wants to go crawl in a corner and sob at my lost youth. But the truth is I am thrilled because my life is everywhere I hoped it would be when I turned 30.
I am married to my best friend and our marriage gets stronger every year. I have 2 healthy, happy well adjusted kids and my parents are still alive to see them grow. I have the same girlfriends I had when I was 13 years old and I've met some great new ones along the way. Jesus is my Savior and I love my job. All those things combined make for a pretty cool life.

The Heroic Journey is a major project for me as in many ways it brings together a near lifetime's work. Very soon you will be to watch short videos on my YouTube channel which will bring this whole thing alive. The wonderful Ray O'Brien who appeared here in Malvern last Friday (October 13), presented his hypnotising life story within a structure based on the Hero's Journey.
Another person who I admire, David Wilcock, made reference in one of his recent presentations to the links between the hero's journey and the tarot.
The first tarot card and perhaps the most significant is the Fool. The Fool is the hero of the tarot journey. "The conservative, cautious, realistic side of us watches with horror this wild, youthful spirit who, trusting in heaven, is prepared to walk over the cliff's edge without a moment's hesitation… the Fool represents the irrational impulse toward change and toward opening life's horizons into the unknown… But if we never respond to these calls from the other world, then we sink into drab, meaningless, banal lives, and wonder, at the end of life, what we have missed and why the world seems so empty." *
I'm assuming therefore that a drab, meaningless and banal life is not for you? A life of purpose, "overwhelming significance", health and vitality, being a role model for others, helping heal the world, maybe paying off some of your karma is the one you aspire to...
Look no further, help is here.
Let the Hierophant assist you in your search for meaning, engage the Wheel of Fortune to illuminate your destiny, see Death as the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Watch as the Tower crumbles so do your old forms and as you gaze at the Moon let go of your fear of uncertainty…
Guardians who will help you on your journey are the Magician, the Emperor, and the Empress. And who would have thought, the Hanged Man, Prometheus in my tarot deck, would represent self-sacrifice in service to all sentient beings?
What do you want from life? And what might life be calling from you?
Another metaphor that seems relevant here is about The Call. Our Soul's/Heart's/Fool's heroic journey always begins with the call. The first call may be a whisper in your ear or a tap on your shoulder. You ignore it. The second call is the equivalent of a slap across the face with a wet fish. You ignore that too. The third call is when God sets about you with a baseball bat. Yes some people ignore that as well. Chronic illness, a serious accident, significant loss in all its forms, fit into the baseball bat category.
However because it is God who wields the baseball bat, you can recover. Yes it is better to hear the first or second calls, but stubborn bastards like me and like many of you, need the big hit.
There are so many tarot decks available. When we consider our favourite card (usually from the major Arcana), we can be swayed by the beauty of the imagery. So when I tell you my favourite card is the second card the Magician, perhaps it has more to do with my spirit guide being Merlin and that the Magician is the primary guide of the Fool than the skill of the card designer.
We are all Fools; we are all sparks of the Divine. Isn't it about time you realised your potential?
Await the next episode; how you can begin to do this…
And why the King of Swords as the image above and not the Magician? You would have to ask Vanessa...
Jack Stewart, October 18th 2017.

Fallout Baseball Is It Really What It Should Be ?
I'm not so sure that the AL East will end the way that many of us expected and with there being a thrilling outcome to what has been an exciting season in some respects. The New York Yankees have literally played themselves back into contention and appear to be less than six games away from winning another AL East title. For their part the Tampa Bay Rays have given all that they possess but now seem to falling short of what their fans expected. Albeit that manager Joe Maddon has done his utmost with this team their flaws have arisen at a time when so much had been expected.This was the year when the Tampa Bay Rays had been expected to challenge the supremacy and dominance of the New York Yankees. And from a financial standpoint now more than ever the Rays need to be seen as a perennial contender. Granted, their precarious situation hasn't been helped by the backbiting and infantile behavior of the local politicians and that of the Rays' front office . Is it any wonder when one looks across the spectrum of Major League Baseball (MLB) and that of the owners and the commissioner's office you get a sense that the game is being ran by a bunch of imbeciles . Where else can you get a group of executives and owners fawning over a commissioner who has been as much use to the game than a five inch gaping whole would be at the bottom of a bucket filled with water.
Slide-show for your perusal.
Commissioner Bud Selig has been the 1,000lb gorilla in the room bringing mayhem to the the game. Now if there was a way with which things could change for the better then it's knowing that Bud Selig will be stepping down in his role as commissioner. That if anything has to a blessing to the true baseball fans out there. Unfortunately however amongst the archaic presence of the owners and than their belief that having a commissioner whose only purpose is to serve them then it clearly shows how out of touch they have been and the ever changing environment of the baseball landscape. From a business standpoint that baseball is in a severe financial mess. At least three quarters of the league's thirty teams are struggling to make ends meet from a financial standpoint. And were it not for the tax sharing revenue scheme instigated by Selig's office we'd now be seeing several teams around the league fighting to stave off bankruptcy. Who amongst you knew that the Chicago Cubs was placed into bankruptcy by its former owner billionaire Sam Zell in order to stave off financial ruin ? And now that the team has been sold to the Ricketts' family we're seeing that the woes that has been the Cubs' mantra still exists. Lou Piniella is no longer the team manager and the players do not seem to be playing with a passion much less with any pride. And for the woeful fans who for each home series attend Wrigley Field to watch this team play they can't be entirely happy witnessing the mess on the field who've got to watch this idiocy.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the midst of an acrimonious ownership struggle wherein owners Frank and Jamie McCourt are laying out their private lives on display for all to savor, the mess that comes with a divorce that has all the ingredients of a soap opera. Never mind the fact that there too manager Joe Torre has sought to walk away from the organization rather than deal with a team that has no wish to play with a zeal or passion. Tell me how in God's name this team was going to contend in the NL West given the fact that the players have no stomach for a fight ? GM Ned Colletti is no closer to making this team a competitor than Mitt Romney's chances were in winning the GOP nomination for the Presidency in 2004. Now in the midst of a downward spiral that appears to have no end in sight and the fans at Chavez Revine (Dodgers' Stadium) must be wondering what the hell is going on ? Personally I look at the saga as if it were simply just another Hollywood script that the writers couldn't have scripted any better themselves. There seems to be everything happening with the Dodgers as a team other than the fact that they're not winning. And if you'd ask anyone to try and explain the malaise behind the team I doubt that one would be able to get a succinct answer from any baseball analyst or pundit much less the fans themselves. The Dodgers have become a paradigm of unending ineptitude both on and off the field.
Now as the closing weeks of the regular season is upon us many of the divisional races seem to be playing themselves out. In some cases it's all over bar the shouting as the Cincinnati Reds seem to be well on their way to winning that particular race (NL Central). In the NL East it looks as if the Philadelphia Phillies will make a successful defense their divisional title albeit at the expense of Bobby Cox's farewell parade after the monumental success he achieved with the Atlanta Braves. Cox led the team with a great deal of pride and dignity as he sought to make this his last season within major league baseball.
Now for all of the furor over the AL West I've got to ask myself what must Mike Sciocsia and the Los Angeles Angels __ front office be thinking ? Having released hard hitting outfielder Vladimir Guerrero who would then find a home with the Texas Rangers. And the Rangers seem to be on the cusp of winning the division and making it something of an inspiring season for the new ownership of the Rangers led by Chuck Greenberg and former baseball great Nolan Ryan. As to how the Rangers will fare in the postseason remains to be seen.
Pardon me for saying this but how is it that the Minnesota Twins can consistently year in and year out play with such abandonment , remain competitive but yet do so on budget that most major sports franchises would struggle to survive? . Clearly the front office of the Twins in conjunction with manager Ron Gardenhire have managed to acquire talent nurture it and see it all come to fruition with the team now on the cusp of winning another divisional title and playing themselves into contention this postseason. Don't be surprised by the fact this team now has the second best record within the league(MLB). They've played with confidence and a great deal of maturity. And although within their division that opposition was posed by the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox haven't been anything near what many had expected them to be about. And the Minnestoa Twins have been all that and a great deal more throughout much of the season.
As the regular season winds down I just hope that the postseason will have something to offer us all and that there'll be as much excitement there for the fans to be happy in seeing ! If nothing else we can but hope that will be the case. And as far choosing an outright winner of the World Series ,well as much as the New York Yankees are perceived as the favorites to win it all merely because of their storied history and the fact that they're the reigning champions. To my mind as good as the team appears to be on paper their weakness appears to be with their pitching . Beyond C C Sabathia and Phil Hughes their team's pitching isn't an imposing one. So that in of-itself should give their opponents in the postseason some hope . But I'm liable to believe that the Yankees will make it all the way to the playoffs but as to how far they go,will in part rest with their pitching. If that's not up to scratch then we are liable to see them fall from grace for all of the wrong reasons. And as talented as this team is they're still an offensive threat but beyond Sabathia, to my mind this team can be something of a Jekyll & Hyde !
Picture gallery . By clicking on an individual frame you can see the picture in its original format.
Your thoughts if any as to how you see the remainder of the postseason playing out and that of the postseason also ? Which team do you believe will have what it takes for the long haul of the postseason and raise the World Series trophy in November ?

We'll be Building a Better World at Hall Memorial Library, 93 Main Street in Ellington this summer, with a focus on photography and family fun!
Professional photographer Fred Bird will run a series of workshops this summer, beginning with Getting the Most from your Point-and-Shoot and Phone Cameras on Tuesday, July 1 at 6:30pm. Fred will teach you how to get a truly terrific photograph whether you are using a point-and-shoot camera, cell phone, or iPad. You will learn all of the elements involved in creating a fabulous image, including:
• Composing your picture;
• Resolving light meter issues;
• Using the simple settings that will affect your photos; and
• Making corrections for color and density.
On Tuesday, July 18, at 6:30pm you will have a chance to put the skills you learned at Fred's July 11 class to work with a Photo Field Work Workshop. If the weather is good, you will be shooting outside; if the weather is bad you will do your field work in the library. You are also welcome to join this workshop even if you did not attend the July 11 class; you will definitely pick up plenty of pointers while you practice your craft.
On Tuesday, July 25, 6:30pm Fred will discuss Close-Up Photography. What is "close-up photography"? It is the art of creating an image that simply documents what the eye would see if it could get close enough to the subject and bring it into sharp focus. The unaided human eye is generally incapable of focusing on objects closer than 3"-4" away; to observe anything closer than this, most people need accessory lenses- magnifiers, eye loupes or microscopes. In this class you will learn how to create a close-up photograph worthy of the best forensic scientist!
And to conclude the series, on Tuesday, August 8 at 6:30pm, Fred will hold another Photo Field Work Workshop. If the weather is good, you will be shooting outside; if the weather is bad you will do your field work in the library. You are also welcome to join this workshop even if you did not attend the July 11 class; you will definitely pick up plenty of pointers while you practice your craft.
The programs listed above are free but pre-registration at www.library.ellington-ct.gov is required or call the library at 860-870-3160.
Join us for some outdoor fun with GIANT GAMES this summer! Bring your own picnic lunch or dinner on Thursday, July 6 at 12:00pm and 5:30pm and Thursday, July 13 at 12:00pm and 5:30; we'll supply the dessert and the fun. Come and play Huge Connect Four, Giant Jenga, Jumbo Yahtzee, Gianormous Checkers, Humungous Chess, and many other super-sized family favorites. These events are open to everyone- bring your friends and family; the more the merrier! Giant Game Days are sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Pre-registration is required and please be sure to note if anyone in your party has food allergies or dietary restrictions when you register.
Our movies for July are Hell or High Water (rated R)on Wednesday, July 5 at 6:30pm and Thursday, July 6 at 1:00pm; The Zookeeper's Wife (rated PG-13) on Wednesday, July 12 at 6:30pm and Thursday, July 13 at 1:00pm; The Lost City of Z (rated PG-13) on Wednesday, July 19 at 6:30pm and Thursday, July 20 at 1:00pm; and Norman (rated R) on Wednesday, July 26 at 6:30pm and Thursday, July 27 at 1:00pm.

Carol Sanford Institute announces a new offering. Many of you have told me you have a hard time making the transition from new learnings in TRDBC being applied your organization, at least on some concepts. I want to add back in something that got cut when I moved from onsite, much longer time together, to the new format on all online.
The 'implementation fishbowl."
It is a process that followed naturally, in person, from new ideas offered, when more time is available. That process if one where a developmental resource works directly on applying the ideas in an interactive, sometimes intense, process of engagement. This is done holding the Regenerative Practices in mind and working the framework as it applies to your business. A resource is asking questions, offering candidate ideas and testing until a clear and focused way arises and 'how to make it work,' pops out. The business gains access to the extensive experience of the resource from working with hundreds of businesses in a way that 'brings it all home."
Until 2017, I worked on site and all companies I have worked with had this process as included and integrated into the education. This was under the conditions where took a day a month for 3-8 years. No one is complete with the shorter form I have used the last two years. It is time to bring the fishbowl back. Immediately. And it is my favorite way to work.
The Purpose and Approach
It is about embedding in all aspects of a business into how you implement and execute from within a regenerative paradigm. One business works with Carol live, in a fishbowl, on embedding TRDBC paradigm into your strategy and leadership practice. It is more like developmental education or developmental consulting but without giving you the generic programmatic steps that consulting offers. It arises from your own business thinking, using the Living Systems framework as a lens, serving as the source of exactly how to proceed. Up until now. we have provided you examples but now we create the application with you directly. You are the case story example.
How it works
This in an ongoing membership community, not a program or training that is time limited for a year. The membership is paid for annually. You join on Zoom and bring your desire for resourcing help to us. Carol works with 1-2 companies each time we meet, in a fishbowl, live, on application. We are repeatedly told that being in the fishbowl is a deep learning experience and in fact often puts the icing on the cake, so to speak. And even when listening to another fishbowl, you learn much by watching how we work with the questions, challenges and specific frameworks, even when you are not speaking. It is a bit destabilizing to have to answer questions in real time but makes it really alive and meaningful. My favorite way to work!
Subjects are from the strategy and learning series and does not include Management series yet. The Management series needs to run for a couple of years to know the philosophy, design and frameworks.
Who can join
Designed specifically for existing members of The Regenerative Business Development Community, particularly those who have completed at least one year of development with us.
Must Have been in a Strategy cohort
Ready to apply it to your business in a fishbowl
Ready to learn from watching others in the fishbowl
Excited about being in a fishbowl with Carol
If you received this invitation, you qualify
$5997 for three people (you will do better with three in the fishbowl who are finding answers to the fishbowl questions with a shared ability to take the discover back to the organization and involve others. May add others for addition membership fee. All sessions are recorded and access for streaming only to active members of the TRDB Community.

Private Testnet Set up¶
Some developers may want to deploy their own BitShares blockchain locally for governance, and speed reasons. This section explains how to prepare the private testnet environment and what steps to take to be a block producing node (witness node).
Table of Contents
For the private testnet, you MUST create and set up own genesis file and also, set parameters' values into a database configuration file (config.ini). You should not connect to the mainnet nor the public testnet.
1. Installation¶
Depending on your OS, we have the Installation guides available. To see more Installation options: Go to Installation Guide.
1-1. Download the Source files¶
Let's get started, open a new command line interface (CLI) window and go to a directory you want to download the
testnet branch files. And run the following command lines. In this example, you create a
bitshares-testnet directory.
git clone https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core.git bitshares-testnet cd bitshares-testnet/ git checkout testnet git submodule update --init --recursive
1-2. Initial Compilation¶
After you download a testnet branch files in a
bitshares-testnet directory, let's build the programs. Run the following commands. This command will create two program files (witness_node and cli_wallet).
cmake . make
You will find the compiled program files in the below folders.
program name
directory and folder
The above installation steps are the same with the public testnet installation.
2. Create a Testnet Folder¶
Create a new folder (e.g.,
[Testnet-Home]) in any location you like and copy a witness_node program and a cli_wallet program there.
Open a command prompt window and switch the current directory to
[Testnet-Home]. Your folder structure should look like the below.
- witness_node // program
- cli_wallet // program
3. Genesis File¶
Discussion: #1591:Add genesis-dev.json and move genesis jsons out of root source directory.
- For a Private Testnet setup, we have a discussion about a
genesis-dev.json file. This genesis-dev file can be used with no modification to create a private testnet and produce blocks on it with the init* accounts.
Note: The
--create-example-genesis option will be removed by Feature Release (201902). Read more: #1536 Remove "create-genesis-json" startup option from witness_node
3-1. Create a Genesis File for a Private Testnet¶
The genesis file is the initial state of the network. We want to create a subdirectory named
genesis and create a file within it named
my-genesis.json. In the private testnet, we have to generate each active and owner private key. Here is a sample private testnet genesis file template, copy and past into your my-genesis.json file.
- witness_node // program
- cli_wallet // program
+ /[genesis] // folder
- my-genesis.json // your private testnet genesis file. You MUST set own parameter values.
3-12 Customization of the private testnet - Genesis File¶
If you want to customize the network's initial state, edit
my-genesis.json. This allows you to control things such as:
The accounts that exist at genesis, their names and public keys
Assets and their initial distribution (including core asset)
The initial values of chain parameters
The account / signing keys of the init witnesses (or in fact any account at all).
Here is more information about a private testnet genesis file
The chain ID is a hash of the genesis state. All transaction signatures are only valid for a single chain ID. So editing the genesis file will change your chain ID, and make you unable to sync with all existing chains (unless one of them has exactly the same genesis file you do).
For testing purposes, the
--dbg-init-key option will allow you to quickly create a new chain against any genesis file, by replacing the witnesses' block production keys.
Default Genesis
The graphene code base has a default genesis block integrated that has all witnesses, committee members and funds and a single account called
nathan available from a single private key:
3-3. Embed Genesis (optional)¶
Once you have
my-genesis.json, you may set a cmake variable like so:
cmake -DGRAPHENE_EGENESIS_JSON="$(pwd)/genesis/my-genesis.json"
and then rebuild. Note, sometimes I've had to clean the build and CMake cache variables in order for
GRAPHENE_EGENESIS_JSON to take effect:
make clean
find . -name "CMakeCache.txt" | xargs rm -f
find . -name "CMakeFiles" | xargs rm -Rf
cmake -DGRAPHENE_EGENESIS_JSON="$(pwd)/genesis/my-genesis.json" .
Deleting caches will reset all
cmake variables, so if you have used instructions like build-ubuntu which tells you to set other
cmake variables, you will have to add those variables to the
cmake line above.
Embedding the genesis copies the entire content of genesis.json into the witness_node binary, and additionally copies the chain ID into the cli_wallet binary. Embedded genesis allows the following simplifications to the subsequent instructions:
You do not need to specify the
my-genesis.jsonfile on the witness node command line, or in the witness node configuration file.
You do not need to specify the chain ID on the
cli_walletcommand line when starting a new wallet.
Embedded genesis is a feature designed to make life easier for consumers of pre-compiled binaries, in exchange for slight, optional complication of the process for producing binaries.
4. Configurations¶
4-1. Create a Data Directory¶
witness_node startup will create a
witness_node_data_dir as a default data directory. And you will find a configuration
config.ini file in the data directory.
If you want to use a different folder name and directory for the data, you have to use
--data-dir option in a startup command line and set your data directory folder path, every time when you start the witness_node. Otherwise, the
witness_node_data_dir folder and another
config.ini file will be created (if it's not existed) and the witness_node will use the data directory.
We create a new data directory for our witness.:
./witness_node --data-dir data/my-blocktestnet --genesis-json my-genesis.json --seed-nodes "[]"
// or
./witness_node --data-dir=data/my-blocktestnet --genesis-json=my-genesis.json --seed-nodes "[]"
data/my-blocktestnetdirectory does not exist, it will be created by starting a witness node.
seed-nodes = []creates a list of empty seed nodes to avoid connecting to default hardcoded seeds.
Known issue: Missing
=sign between input parameter and value. –> This is due to a bug of a boost 1.60. If you compile with boost 1.58, the
=sign can be omitted.
The below message means the initialization is complete. It will complete nearly instantaneously with the tiny example genesis, unless you added a ton of balances. Use
ctrl + c to close the witness node.
3501235ms th_a main.cpp:165 main] Started witness node on a chain with 0 blocks.
3501235ms th_a main.cpp:166 main] Chain ID is cf307110d029cb882d126bf0488dc4864772f68d9888d86b458d16e6c36aa74b
As a result, you should get two items:
A directory named
data/my-blocktestnethas been created (initialized) with a file named
config.inilocated in it.
A Chain ID. It's displayed in the message above (i.g., Chain ID).
- witness_node // program
- cli_wallet // program
+ /[genesis] // folder
- my-genesis.json // your private testnet genesis file. You have to set own parameter values.
+ /[data] // data folder
+ /[my-blocktestnet]/
+ /[blockchain]
+ /[logs]
+ /[p2p]
- config.ini // configuration file
- logging.ini
4-2. Set up Configuration¶
Open the
[Testnet-Home]/data/my-blocktestnet/config.ini file and set the following settings, uncommenting them if necessary.
Example: Configuration file - config.ini
# Endpoint for P2P node to listen on
p2p-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:11010
# Endpoint for websocket RPC to listen on
rpc-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:11011
###--> For Private Testnet, add a seed node of your own
# P2P nodes to connect to on startup (may specify multiple times)
# seed_node =
###--> For Private Testnet, this value set needs to overwrite default checkpoint.
checkpoint = []
# Pairs of [BLOCK_NUM,BLOCK_ID] that should be enforced as checkpoints.
## checkpoint = ["22668518", "0159e4e600cb149e22ef960442ca331159914617"]
# File to read Genesis State from
genesis-json = genesis/my-genesis.json
# ==============================================================================
# witness plugin options
# ==============================================================================
# Enable block production, even if the chain is stale.
enable-stale-production = false
# Percent of witnesses (0-100) that must be participating in order to produce blocks
# required-participation = 33
# If start a private testnet with the default number 33, the node won't produce blocks
####--> For Private testnet, set 0
required-participation = 0
###--> For Private Testnet, set own key pairs
# Tuple of [PublicKey, WIF private key] (may specify multiple times)
private-key = ["-- generated key --","5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3"]
# ID of witness controlled by this node (e.g. "1.6.5", quotes are required, may specify multiple times)
# witness-id =
witness-id = "1.6.1"
witness-id = "1.6.2"
witness-id = "1.6.3"
witness-id = "1.6.4"
witness-id = "1.6.5"
witness-id = "1.6.6"
witness-id = "1.6.7"
witness-id = "1.6.8"
witness-id = "1.6.9"
witness-id = "1.6.10"
witness-id = "1.6.11"
This authorizes the
witness_node to produce blocks on behalf of the listed witness-id's, and specifies the private key needed to sign those blocks. Normally each witness would be on a different node, but for the purposes of this testnet, we will start out with all witnesses signing blocks on a single node.
It's important to activate a 2/3 majority of the witnesses defined in the genesis file.
5. Start the Testnet (Block Production)¶
Now run witness_node again:
./witness_node --data-dir data/my-blocktestnet --enable-stale-production --seed-nodes "[]"
If you want to use a different folder name and directory for the data, you have to use
--data-dir in a startup command line and set your data directory folder path, every time you start the witnesses-node. Otherwise, the
witness_node_data_dir folder will be created and be used to generate a default
config.ini file to start the witness_node!!
We did not set
--genesis-json my-genesis.jsonin a command line above. Because we set the genesis file name
my-genesis.jsonfor the private testnet in a configuration
--enable-stale-productionflag tells the
witness_nodeto produce on a chain with zero blocks or very old blocks. We specify the
--enable-stale-productionparameter on the command line as we will not normally need it (although it can also be specified in the configuration file).
The empty
--seed-nodesis added to avoid connecting to the default seed nodes hardcoded for production. (i.e., # seed-node = )
Subsequent runs which connect to an existing witness node over the p2p network, or which get blockchain state from an existing data directory, do not need to have the
6. Obtain the Chain ID¶
(When we started a witness_node for a short time to create a data directory, we also obtained a chain ID.)
The chain ID (i.g., blockchain id) is a hash of the genesis state. All transaction signatures are only valid for a single chain ID. So editing the genesis file will change your chain ID, and make you unable to sync with all existing chains (unless one of them has exactly the same genesis file you do).
For testing purposes, the
--dbg-init-key option will allow you to quickly create a new chain against any genesis file, by replacing the witnesses' block production keys.
Each wallet is specifically associated with a single chain, specified by its chain ID. This is to protect the user from (e.g., unintentionally) using a testnet wallet on the real chain.
The chain ID is printed at witness node startup. It can also be obtained by using the API to query a running witness node with the
get_chain_properties API call:
curl --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "get_chain_properties", "params": [], "id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:11011/rpc && echo
curl command will return a short JSON object including the
7. CLI wallet¶
7-1. Create a new Wallet¶
We are now ready to connect a new wallet to your private testnet witness node. You must specify a chain ID and server. Keep your witness node running. Open another Command Prompt window run this command (a blank username and password will suffice):
./cli_wallet --wallet-file my-wallet.json
--chain-id cf30711----USE-OWN-CHAIN-ID---68d9888d86b458d16e6c36aa74b
--server-rpc-endpoint ws://127.0.0.1:11011 -u '' -p ''
Make sure to replace the above chain ID (i.e., blockchain id)
cf307110d0...36aa74bwith your chain ID reported by your
witness_node. The chain-id passed to the CLI-wallet needs to match the id generated and used by the
witness node.
--server-rpc-endpoint- The port number is how you defined (opened)
--rpc-endpointfor the witness_node.
If you receive the
new >>> prompt, it means your wallet has been executed successfully.
Fist you need to create a new password for your wallet. This password is used to encrypt all the private keys in the wallet. For more detailed instructions, see the tutorial on How to Set a password and Unlock a Cli Wallet
7-2. Gain Access to the Genesis Stake¶
In BitShares, balances are contained in accounts. To import an account that exists in the BitShares genesis into your wallet, all you need to know its name and its private key.
In this section, we use an account name
nathan We will now import into the wallet an account called
nathan (a general purpose test account) by using the
import_key command:
unlock supersecret
import_key nathan "5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3"
nathan happens to be the account name defined in the genesis file. If you had edited your
my-genesies.json file just after it was created, you could have put a different name there. Also, note that
5KQwrPbwdL...P79zkvFD3 is the private key defined in the
config.ini file.
Now we have the private key imported into the wallet but still no funds assocciated with it. Funds are stored in genesis balance objects. These funds can be claimed, with no fee, using the
import_balance command:
import_balance nathan ["5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3"] true
As a result, we have one account (named
nathan) imported into the wallet and this account is well funded with BTS as we have claimed the funds stored in the genesis file. You can view this account information and the balance by using the below commands:
get_account nathan
list_account_balances nathan
7-3. Create Another Account¶
We will now create another account (named
alpha) so that we can transfer funds back and forth between
nathan and
Creating a new account is always done by using an existing account - we need it because someone (i.e. the registrar) has to fund the registration fee. Also, there is the requirement for the registrar account to have a lifetime member (LTM) status. Therefore we need to upgrade the account
nathan to LTM, before we can proceed with creating other accounts.
upgrade_account nathan true
get_account nathan
In the response, next to
membership_expiration_date you should see
1969-12-31T23:59:59. If you get
1970-01-01T00:00:00 something is wrong and
nathan has not been successfully upgraded.
We can now register an account by using
nathan as registrar. But first we need to generate the public key for the new account. We do it by using the
suggest_brain_key command.
And the response should be something similar to this
"brain_priv_key": "MYAL SOEVER UNSHARP PHYSIC JOURNEY SHEUGH BEDLAM WLOKA FOOLERY GUAYABA DENTILE RADIATE TIEPIN ARMS FOGYISH COQUET",
"wif_priv_key": "5JDh3XmHK8CDaQSxQZHh5PUV3zwzG68uVcrTfmg9yQ9idNisYnE",
"pub_key": "BTS78CuY47Vds2nfw2t88ckjTaggPkw16tLhcmg4ReVx1WPr1zRL5"
We can now register an account. The
register_account command allows you to register an account using only a public key:
register_account alpha BTS78CuY47Vds2nfw2t88ckjTaggPkw16tLhcmg4ReVx1WPr1zRL5 BTS78CuY47Vds2nfw2t88ckjTaggPkw16tLhcmg4ReVx1WPr1zRL5 nathan nathan 0 true
Use a public key
pub_keywhich you just created by
Transfer funds between accounts¶
transfer nathan alpha 100000 CORE "here is the cash" true
list_account_balances alpha
The text
here is some cash is an arbitrary memo you can attatch to a transfer. If you don't need it, just use
"" instead.
We can now open a new wallet for alpha user:
import_key alpha 5JDh3XmHK8CDaQSxQZHh5PUV3zwzG68uVcrTfmg9yQ9idNisYnE
upgrade_account alpha true
create_witness alpha "http://www.alpha" true
Use a private key
wif_priv_keywhich you just created by
get_private_key command allows us to obtain the WIF private key corresponding to a public key. The private key must already be in the wallet:
get_private_key BTS78CuY47Vds2nfw2t88ckjTaggPkw16tLhcmg4ReVx1WPr1zRL5
> You can try to make sure your
suggest_brain_key outputs key pair. You should get the same pair of keys set.
8. Create Committee Members¶
8-1. Creating members¶
create_account_with_brain_key com0 com0 nathan nathan true
create_account_with_brain_key com1 com1 nathan nathan true
create_account_with_brain_key com2 com2 nathan nathan true
create_account_with_brain_key com3 com3 nathan nathan true
create_account_with_brain_key com4 com4 nathan nathan true
create_account_with_brain_key com5 com5 nathan nathan true
create_account_with_brain_key com6 com6 nathan nathan true
8-2 Upgrading members¶
Since only lifetime members can be committee members, we need to fund these accounts
transfer and upgrade
upgrade_account them accordingly:
transfer nathan com0 100000 CORE "some cash" true
transfer nathan com1 100000 CORE "some cash" true
transfer nathan com2 100000 CORE "some cash" true
transfer nathan com3 100000 CORE "some cash" true
transfer nathan com4 100000 CORE "some cash" true
transfer nathan com5 100000 CORE "some cash" true
transfer nathan com6 100000 CORE "some cash" true
upgrade_account com0 true
upgrade_account com1 true
upgrade_account com2 true
upgrade_account com3 true
upgrade_account com4 true
upgrade_account com5 true
upgrade_account com6 true
8-3 Registering as committee member¶
We can apply for committee with create_committee_member:
create_committee_member com0 "http://www.com0" true create_committee_member com1 "http://www.com1" true create_committee_member com2 "http://www.com2" true create_committee_member com3 "http://www.com3" true create_committee_member com4 "http://www.com4" true create_committee_member com5 "http://www.com5" true create_committee_member com6 "http://www.com6" true
8-4 Voting with faucet account¶
All we need to do know is vote for our own committee members:
vote_for_committee_member nathan com0 true true
vote_for_committee_member nathan com1 true true
vote_for_committee_member nathan com2 true true
vote_for_committee_member nathan com3 true true
vote_for_committee_member nathan com4 true true
vote_for_committee_member nathan com5 true true
vote_for_committee_member nathan com6 true true
propose_parameter_change com0 {"block_interval" : 6} true
9. Set up the Second Node¶
If you want to set up a second node (with the same genesis file) and connect it to the first node by using the
p2p-endpoint of the first node as the
seed-node for the second. The below are example settings.
Node-001: config.ini
p2p-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:11010
# seed-node = // add a seed node of your own
rpc-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:11011
Node-002: config.ini
Set the Node-001's
p2p-endpointas the Node-002's
p2p-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:11015
seed-node = 127.0.0.1:11010
rpc-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:11020

Good morning, friends, and happy Wednesday! I hope your week has been off to a great start. Our Wednesday will entail one last day of scorching heat before a slight cool down to finish the week.
Hot Temperatures, A Few Possible Storms
Temperatures will once again be reaching the neighborhood of 92ºF, making for another toasty day for south central Kentucky. Strong winds will be out of the southwest, with gusts up to 25 mph. These winds will help surge temperatures and humidity, making it uncomfortable to be outside.
Additionally, our northern portion of the area is under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather today.
A few isolated showers and storms will be possible, but for Warren County and south, should stay dry. Any downpours will be isolated, so widespread rain measurements and impacts are not expected.
Overnight, a few hit or miss showers are possible, but expect mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures will drop down to 70ºF, which will be quite refreshing compared to the high temperatures the past couple days.
More Showers and Storms Possible for Thursday
A cold front will be pushing into the area, which will bring additional showers and storms, and slightly cooler temperatures.
Expect high temperatures to reach around 85ºF, which is still warm, but at least it is not 90ºF! Winds again will be rather breezy, as gusts up to 25 mph out of the southwest will be possible.
A few showers and storms may linger around through the evening hours, but skies should quiet down by the overnight hours ( 1 AM or later). Nighttime temperatures will be a chilly, but refreshing 63º, which is quite the change from the temperatures we've been having.
Quiet Friday to Kick off Weekend
Friday should be much more quiet than the middle of the week. Mostly sunny skies will stick around, again with temperatures reaching the 82ºF. Remember the cold front being mentioned above? You can thank that for slightly cooler temperatures, with winds out of the northwest.
Time to enjoy the great outdoors. Temperatures will once again get a bit chilly, so any outdoor activities in the evening (5-8 PM) will be rather nice. By the overnight hours, temperatures will finally drop to 60ºF.
That wraps up today's forecast. Hope you have a great Wednesday and rest of the week! Make sure to look for the Afternoon Video Update on Facebook and the Afternoon Weather Story on Twitter/Instagram, only on @wxornotBG.

With one week to get your ballots in for the primary election, Capitol Hill's Brady Walkinshaw is looking forward to seeing the results on August 2nd as the Democrat hopes to go through to November in the race for Congressional District 7.
"It's a close race, but we feel good about where we're heading," the current 43rd District state representative told CHS.
Walkinshaw, who was appointed to the state House in 2013, may have been the first candidate to announce he was running for the District 7 seat, but he wasn't the last.
Eight other candidates are vying for the seat left wide open after Democratic Congressman Jim McDermott announced he would not be seeking re-election after 28 years in office. In the race for McDermott's seat, Walkinshaw broke rank and tossed his hat in the ring prior to the announcement, a risky move that gave him an early jump on the competition.
Voters will send the top two candidates on the primary ballot to the November election.
Measured by endorsements and funds raised, the battle comes down to two candidates — Walkinshaw and state Sen. Pramila Jayapal.
Capitol Hill's Walkinshaw tabbed for Olympia as Pedersen moves forward to replace Murray
Rep. Brady Walkinshaw will challenge Jim McDermott in 2016 House race
7th District race for Congress gets going with labor-focused debate
43rd District Dems endorse Macri for state rep, Walkinshaw for Congress
Walkinshaw said one of the strengths of his campaign is the dozens of endorsements he has collected from elected officials. He has also been endorsed by many community leaders, and on Friday the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund and the Latino Victory Fund both gave him nods of approval.
If Walkinshaw, a 32-year-old gay Cuban-American, is elected in November, he would be the first openly gay member of Congress from the state and the first Latino Democrat from Washington elected to a federal office, according to an announcement from the two organizations.
However, Jayapal, a first-term senator serving the state's 37th District, has collected endorsements many elected officials as well, including 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, LGBTQ leaders, and representatives of other progressive organizations.
Walkinshaw thinks editorial board endorsements — he got the thumbs up from the Seattle Times while The Stranger endorsed Jayapal — will play a big role in the race.
The Times wrote in a July 11 editorial that Walkinshaw has the "temperament, pragmatic instincts and drive to squeeze legislation out of the gridlocked Congress."
Walkinshaw has a variety of issues he wants to tackle including undoing Citizens United, passing aggressive environmental protections and imposing stricter regulations on the financial sector.
He is also focused on the working together — the House member has moved state legislation forward with bipartisan support — and looking to the future of urban America.
"I've been very supportive of how we can create more density in the right places in our city," he said "I believe Capitol Hill is one of those environments where we're going to see continued growth."
Walkinshaw has been sharing his message through TV ads and a grassroots mailing effort reaching nearly 30,000 people through individual connections throughout Capitol Hill and the 7th which covers most of Seattle, all of Vashon Island, Edmonds, Shoreline, Kenmore, and parts of Burien, and Normandy Park.
Jayapal, who immigrated from India to the U.S. with her parents when she was 16, has outlined her main issues as fighting to raise the minimum wage, expand Social Security and Medicare, become a clean energy economy and make college debt-free.
According to the Federal Election Commission, Jayapal leads in funds at more than $1.28 million, while Walkinshaw has raised more than $888,000.
Walkinshaw thinks most voters in District 7 are just now starting to consider the different candidates running for the seat and are beginning to make up their minds.
"I feel like we've run a really positive campaign, but of course we're excited and eager to see what happens on August 2nd," he said.
King County Council Chair and former state Rep. for Washington's 34th District Joe McDermott, no relation to Jim, has also raked in some endorsements from state, county regional city elected officials.
McDermott wants to ensure the middle-class has a voice, fight the big-money campaign-finance system and crack down on gun violence. He has raised more than $425,000.
Jayapal makes a populist plea in Capitol Hill launch for Congress
Joe McDermott announces bid for Congress as Hill music rep mulls a run — UPDATE: Jayapal announcement
Other candidates include:
- Scott Sutherland, a Republican, who is running to promote renewable energy technologies;
- Don Rivers, a Democrat, who describes himself as a long-time activist and advisor to elected officials, law enforcement, clergy and residents
- Leslie Regier, no party preference, who supports the STEM fields and space exploration
- Craig Keller, a Republican, who says he will be a "fighter against illegal immigration corruption"
- Arun Jhaveri, Democrat and former mayor of Burien who would bring his scientific knowledge to Congress
- • Carl Cooper, no party preference, is concerned about financial inequality, according to the voters' pamphlet.

Here is my hair from last night. It involved some backcombing, pinning and hairspray. I also did some Marilyn inspired make-up, with the wings. I don't think it looked too over the top - especially when I had my glasses on.
The other photos are of my current half-macrobiotic breakfast (polenta with ginger, tamari and a coffee) and the view the other morning. The light was just incredible - I wish I could take better photos to show just how wonderful it was.
The plan for my first Sunday no study to do is:
- Be the Perfect Housewife and do dusting and washing until the cows come home.
- Do some cooking today so during the week I will not be living on junk - well healthy junk but it's still not great.
- Try not to miss my Beau too much - I haven't seen him for 15 days now - that's the longest it has ever been.
- Watch Mona Lisa Smile
- Hopefully go op-shopping and food shopping.
- Visit my best friend, Christine, will she is at work and get a coffee
