text: Tamil Nadu's technicolour politics Tamil politics latched on to cinema quite early in its history and hasn't looked back. Since 1967, all CMs from the state have been closely associated with cinema, which celebrates its platinum jubilee, writes V Gangadhar. india Updated: Aug 27, 2007 01:25 IST V. Gangadhar None A new entrant to American High School, Madurai, the bastion of Tamil culture in the early 1950s, I was not prepared for the passionate outpouring of filmi dialogue of my classmates, most of whom were extremely poor. They quoted alluring, alliterative dialogues from the film Velaikari: "Sattam oru iruttarai, aathil vakeelin vadham oru vilaku. Aanal adhu ezhaikku ettada vilakku" (Law is a dark room where the lawyer's argument is a lamp. But it is not accessible to the poor). My classmates had seen the film more than once and when not quoting lines from it, were busy writing its reviews and reading them out to others. This was the impact on Tamil youth by scholar, orator and budding DMK stalwart, C.N. Annadurai (Anna) who was to become the Chief Minister and establish Dravidian supremacy in Tamil Nadu. Much of this impact was made through the medium of films, theatre and journalism . As Dravidian politics ruled in Tamil Nadu from 1967, all its chief ministers belonged to the world of cinema and were propagators of Dravidian culture: Anna and M. Karunanidhi (writers and orators), M. G. Ramachandran, V. N. Janaki and Jayalalithaa (actors). For the first time in the world, a political ideology was successfully propagated through cinema. Now, as Tamil cinema celebrates its platinum jubilee starting with film festivals in Singapore and the staging of Tamil classics all over the state, one continues to wonder how in a state with comparatively literacy, the make-believe world of cinema could wield such high political influence. Former actor and Republican Ronald Reagan did become president of the US but Hollywood did not propagate the Republican party ideology and retain the White House for long periods. While relying on his charisma as an actor, Reagan won because of his diehard conservatism and promises to keep government out of everyday American life. The Tamil Nadu scenario was more complex. The first Tamil films like Kalidas and Raja Rani, released in 1931, were mythological films, historical dramas or song-laden Ruritarian romances. They only entertained the masses. But parallely, a nascent Dravidian movement was growing, spearheaded by 'Periyar', E. V. Ramaswamy Naicker. This was a social cause, aimed to check the supremacy of the upper castes and Brahmins, eradicate superstition and caste conflicts and restore the glory of Tamils. EVR started the Dravida Kazhagam (DK), recommended black shirts and dhotis for his followers and indulged in a lot of tradition bashing. Soon the movement had a large following but kept away from politics. The Dravidian movement really caught on from the mid-1940s. Tamil cinema which was crippled by the shortage of film stock and British censorship began to come into its own. The focus once again was on mythology but soon it could not ignore the powerful signals from a rejuvenated Dravidian movement. The DK had split into the DMK which had the backing of Tamil scholars, writers and intellectuals like Anna and Karunanidhi. Cashing in on the Tamilian love for their glorious past and the beauty of their language, the DMK focused on theatre, film and journalism to spread its message. The era of propaganda films had begun. Rustic looking scholar Annadurai was the pioneering force of the movement. His plays sizzled with passion, dealing with attacks on feudalism, idol worship and the glory of the Tamil language. His plays and screen stories focused on atheism and did not spare holy cows. This was a heady mixture for the masses. Anna's disciple, Karunanidhi, was not far behind. At 14 he headed the DMK's youth wing and advised by mentor Anna, joined the world of cinema to make a living writing songs, screenplays and stories. He edited the party mouthpiece, Kudi Arasu and his dialogues sizzled with anti-North Indian, anti-Hindi and pro-Tamil sentiments in films like Manthiri Kumari and Marudhanatu Ilavarasi, both of which starred the young and dynamic MGR. Another memorable hit film was Parasakthi where actor Sivaji Ganesan fought injustice. Karunanidhi also turned producer and turned out hits like Manohara. The DMK had an additional advantage because it could feature MGR in these films. He was the ideal Dravidian youth, without vices, devoted to his mother and promoting the party's ideals. Unlike the DK, the DMK entered politics. In 1957, Karunanidhi and Anna became MLAs, ten years later the DMK was in power in the state. Anna was the Chief Minister and Karunanidhi a cabinet minister; he succeeded Anna on the latter's death. The political message continued. When the DMK split and MGR emerged as the leader of the new AIADMK and captured power in the state, it did not affect the Dravidian influence over Tamil Nadu. Temporarily, the DMK and Karunanidhi were eclipsed by MGR's star power. The people saw in MGR the Chief Minister the same idealistic qualities they had seen in MGR the screen hero. Tamil Nadu witnessed a dirty, unwholesome power struggle after MGR's death and the leadership issue was tossed among MGR's widow Jamaki, his confidante, Jayalalithaa, and the DMK stalwart. With Tamil cinema celebrating its diamond jubilee, filmmakers are aware of the unique contribution of their art to state politics. Today, Jaya is out of power, Karunanidhi is at the end of his career (but going strong) and the question is will the silver screen soon yield another superstar to handle the affairs of the state? Meanwhile, national parties like the Congress and the BJP can only watch from the sidelines. For a brief period, another great star of Tamil cinema, Sivaji Ganesan, flirted with the Congress and was nominated to the Rajya Sabha. He finally started a party of his own. The main problem with Sivaji was that, unlike MGR and Karunanidhi, he did not carry the all-important Dravidian stamp. V Gangadhar is a senior journalist First Published: Aug 27, 2007 01:15 IST

Putting Down Roots for Girls in STEM
We've marked National Women's History Month with a blog series, first looking back to influential ladies who paved a path for women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. Last week we set our sights on females in tech roles today.
The blog, Modern Parents Messy Kids, gives the ultimate STEM toy guide by age.
Despite women's early contributions to computing and those taking on technology careers now, a 2011 report from the U.S. Department of Commerce found only one in seven engineers are female. That's why the nation is campaigning for higher numbers of women in STEM. And we're sharing how individuals and groups, to startups and enterprises, are empowering girls in STEM.
Start early.
Research shows we become what we play with, which is what DevelopHer touts on its website. The mission of the 501c3 nonprofit is to accelerate the creation of toys that engage girls while stimulating their interest in STEM. Roominate is another company turning technology into girl's play. Goldi Blox gets girls building, too. Not surprising, the Girl Scouts also encourages girls of all ages.
Turn to tech role models.
Studies show girls benefit from relationships with role models and mentors who share important information about STEM careers. Take Women@NASA, for instance. It's a collection of videos and essays showcasing women who work across a variety of NASA departments, as well as inspirational resources for girls in STEM.
Other company's guide individuals and organizations in giving a boost to girls. One such business is FabFems, which offers a collection of resources for role models, educators and parents to inspire and educate girls in STEM courses and careers. MentorNet matches engineering and science students at the university level with mentors, and guides their one-on-one relationships over the Web. SciGirls trains role models and shares best practices for making a positive impact on girls in STEM. Million Women Mentors rallies organizations, government agencies, and non-profit and higher education groups to mentor girls and young women in STEM fields.
We could all learn more and join the discussion through forums. One example is The Huffington Post's Girls in STEM Mentorship Program that highlights education and careers, the issues facing women and what it takes to mentor females in these fields.
Keep it up after K-12.
Many female students planning engineering and science majors end up switching to other subjects, or changing careers after they've earned an engineering degree or landed a job in a STEM field. Lack of ongoing encouragement through high school and workplaces are partly to blame. That's why it's crucial for adults in young girls' lives to help cultivate their STEM roots. Check out what this high school in Massachusetts is doing. However, your support can be as simple as pointing out online resources, and news, facts and events in STEM to enrolling her in after-school STEM programs.
Team Up for STEM.
While girl-centered support is crucial for nurturing females, there are important approaches for both genders that also lend to inspiring one another, including:
- The San Francisco 49ers teamed up with Chevron to create a program that encourages young students to pursue an education in STEM.
- People are turning to techJOYnT on Kickstarter.com to raise money to increase STEM presence in classrooms so more children will benefit from the program.
- Arizona State University offers a program on their Polytechnic campus for students to receive hands-on, STEM experience and help build the STEM pipeline of future graduates.
- Former NFL player, William White, works heavily with
Project Lead the Way, which is a non-profit company
focusing on providing STEM curriculum to as many schools as possible. White travels all over the United States speaking to students about getting an education in STEM.
- Insight teamed up with the Arizona Diamondbacks to deliver STEM education through a program called
"The Science of Baseball" to translate America's love of baseball into an appreciation, understanding and passion of the science and mathematics underlying the sport.
- President Obama set up a plan for STEM education: within a decade, increase the number of students and teachers who are proficient in STEM fields with the help of 13 partner agencies—including all of the mission science agencies and the Department of Education.
Though this is a thorough list of STEM resources and help—it's definitely not exhaustive. But most importantly, we can all get behind the girl in our life right now, sans resources, by taking a genuine interest and encouraging her. The world needs women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. Our future depends on their unique perspective.

It's been 5 long years, boys and girls! Many of you thought I had abandoned you; that couldn't be further from the truth. Now, ol Princess Laucherella wouldn't be a very good role model to you kids out there in "cartoonland" if I wasn't always honest.
I'm not going to lie to you, boys and girls, it's been rough. I've spent the last 5 years in a mental facility in the aftermath of an incedent wherein I bit the wife of television personality Al Roker. After years of deep soul searching and having my brain partially destroyed by Electro Convulsive Therapy, I have once again learned how to control my bladder and operate Adobe Flash.
You can expect more wholesome cartoon fun in the future, and maybe even the return of Newgrounds most beloved character Cyberen!
Remember that I love you, and if someone offers you drugs or alcohol tell them your liver says NO THANKS, then shame them and tell them they are going to hell!

OK. So I lied.
Serve this up any way you want. With piles of fluffly mash potato laced with a few drops of truffle oil and some crunchy beans or perhaps buttery new potatoes and a cascade of cauliflower and carrots. Or just with a simple baked potato filled with chunks of chilled butter.
- 8 chicken breasts with bone in
- 300ml good wine vinegar
- 800 ml sherry
- 24 whole shallots, peeled
- 12 cloves garlic, peeled
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp fresh tarragon
- 4 tbsp creme fraiche
Heat the olive oil over a high heat and fry the chicken breasts four at a time until well browned all over: season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken, turn the heat to medium and add the shallots to the pan to brown, then follow with the garlic cloves. Stir them both to brown them evenly. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, turn the heat to low, and return the chicken to the pan, adding the tarragon, vinegar and sherry. Simmer for 5 minutes, then turn the heat to the lowest possible, and allow the chicken and other ingredients to cook under cover for 45 minutes, turning the chicken pieces half way through. Remove all the ingredients, using a slotted spoon to leave behind the sauce, to a serving dish and keep warm. Remove the pan from the heat, and after 5 minutes or so cooling time stir in the creme fraiche, then pour the sauce over the chicken just before serving.

In honor of Thirsty Thursday, we're sharing a super fun game idea that is perfect for any bridal shower or bachelorette party – a Rosé Tasting Party!
If you're like me, you cannot get enough rosé this summer, and hosting a rosé tasting party is a fun and easy way to get your guests up on their feet, mingling and chatting while doing something they most likely enjoy (drinking!).
I am planning on throwing my own rosé tasting party later this summer at my sister-in-law's bachelorette party, so I put together this adorable scorecard for us to use during the game.
As each girl tries the different kinds of rosé, they'll jot down their notes and fill in each blank with the number of the bottle that matches each question.
I'm already excited to see who thinks they can taste the most expensive or cheapest rosé, as well as see who can guess which rosé the bride would love or hate the most!
Since I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves the idea of classy drinking games, I wanted to share this free PDF download with you all for the scorecard above! Just click the link below to download your PDF and then print out as many as you need.
Just print out these cards, gather a few bottles of rosé and you're good to go!
If you're looking for more ideas on how to throw an amazing rosé tasting party, check out this awesome post from Bev Cooks. Her party looks so incredible – I hope mine is half as fun as her looks!
Cheers and happy tasting!

With the conclusion of the 2018 NFL Draft, The Chicago Bears were celebrated for what many thought was a successful draft. A recap of the players selected were:
1st Roquan Smith OLB, Georgia
2nd James Daniel C, Iowa
2nd Anthony Miller WR, Memphis
4th Joel Iyiegbuniwe OLB, Western Kentucky
5th Bilal Nichols DT, Delaware
6th Kyle Fitts DE, Utah
7th Javon Wims Wr, Georgia
The first three picks by General Manager Ryan Pace all filled needs. Smith should make an immediate impact on an already talented defensive unit that looks to get key guys back that were lost to injury. Daniel will have the task of ensuring Trubisky stays upright and if that happens, Anthony Miller will be able to flash his playmaking ability. I'm excited to see what Miller brings to the Bears offense. He plays much bigger than he is listed and will fight for jump balls.
The four other players are all pretty much question marks until we see them in action but if one thing is for sure, one of these players should emerge as a key contributor for the Bears with Ryan Pace's history in drafts.
Which player or players are you excited about?

The Parliament of Ireland (Irish; Parlaimint na hEireann) was a legislature that existed in Dublin from 1297 until 1800. In its early mediaeval period during the Lordship of Ireland it was sometimes bicameral, sometimes tricameral, consisted of either two or three chambers: the House of Commons, elected by a very restricted suffrage, the House of Lords in which the lords temporal of the peerage of Ireland and lords spiritual (higher clergy) were represented (subject to periodic exclusion of Catholic peers) and a third body, a House of Proctors, which consisted of representatives of the lower clergy, which sometimes seems to have sat as a separate house, on other times as part of the House of Commons.[1]
The main purpose of parliament in the Middle Ages was to approve taxes that were then levied by and for the Lordship of Ireland. Those who would pay the bulk of taxation, the clergy, merchants and landowners, naturally comprised the members.
Over the centuries, the Irish parliament met in a number of locations both inside and outside of Dublin - the first place of definitive date and place was Castledermot, County Kildare on 18 June 1264 some months earlier than the first English Parliament containing elected members. Among its most famous meeting places were Dublin Castle, the Bluecoat School, Chichester House and, its final permanent home, the Irish Parliament House in College Green.
The Irish Parliament was originally founded in 1297[2] to represent the Irish and Anglo-Norman population of the Lordship of Ireland. Because most of the Gaelic Irish often refused to swear allegiance to the crown, to respect the authority of the Lordship of Ireland, or to recognise common law, they were officially considered outlaws and were not eligible to either vote or stand for office. However, in the 14th and 15th centuries, shrinking numbers of those loyal to the crown, growing power of landed families, and the increasing inability to carry out judicial rulings, reduced the crown's presence in Ireland. In turn this resulted in considerable numbers of the Anglo-Irish Old English nobility joining the independent Gaelic nobles in asserting their feudal independence. Eventually the crown's power shrank to a small fortified enclave around Dublin known as the Pale. The Parliament thereafter became essentially the forum for the Pale community until the 17th century. Unable to implement and exercise the authority of the Parliament or the Crown's rule outside of this environ, and increasingly under the attack of raids by the Gaelic Irish and independent Anglo-Irish nobles, the Palesmen themselves encouraged the Kings of England to take a more direct role in the affairs of Ireland. Geographic distance, the lack of attention by the crown, and the larger power of the Gaelic Ireland, reduced the Irish Parliament to a mere figurehead. Thus, increasingly worried that the Irish Parliament was essentially being overawed by powerful landed families in Ireland like the Earl of Kildare into passing laws that pursued the agendas of the different dynastic factions in the country, in 1494, the Parliament encouraged the passing of Poynings' Law which subordinated the Irish Parliament to the English one.
The role of the Parliament changed after 1541, when Henry VIII declared the Kingdom of Ireland and embarked on the Tudor re-conquest of Ireland. Despite an era which featured royal concentration of power and decreasing feudal power throughout the rest of Europe, King Henry VIII overruled earlier court rulings putting families and lands under attainder and recognised the privileges of the Gaelic nobles thereby expanding the crown's de jure authority. In return for recognising the crown's authority under the new Kingdom of Ireland, the Gaelic-Anglo-Irish lords had their position legalised and were entitled to attend the Irish Parliament as equals under the policy of surrender and regrant. Most members continued to be of English descent. The Protestant Reformation introduced in stages by the Tudor monarchs did not take hold in Ireland, but did not affect the operation of parliament until after the papal bull Regnans in Excelsis of 1570. Many of the Irish Commons had several disputes in Parliament with the crown's authorities over the introduction of Protestantism as the state religion and over paying for the pacification of the countryside. For this reason, in 1613-15, constituencies for the Parliament were changed to allow English and Scottish Protestant colonial representatives to be elected. As a result of these additions to the Parliamentary constituencies, in conjunction with royal supporters in Parliament, the majority of members of the House of Commons thereafter were Protestant. In the House of Lords the Catholic majority ended with the 1634 session. Initially, Roman Catholics were not disbarred from voting, and Catholic lords and MPs continued to sit. However, following the general uprising of the Catholic Irish in the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and the self-established Catholic assembly in 1642-49, Roman Catholics were barred from voting or attending the Parliament altogether in the Cromwellian Act of Settlement 1652.
However, following the death of Cromwell and the end of the Protectorate, the Stuarts returned to the throne thereby ending the sectarian divisions relating to parliament. Then, during the reign of James II of England, who had converted to Roman Catholicism, Irish Catholics briefly recovered their pre-eminent position as the crown now favoured their community. When James was overthrown in England, he turned to his Roman Catholic supporters in the Irish Parliament for support. In return for its support during the Williamite war in Ireland (1688-91), a Roman Catholic majority Patriot Parliament of 1689 persuaded James to pass legislation granting it autonomy to and to restore lands confiscated from Catholics in the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. The Jacobite defeat in this war meant that under William III of England, Protestants were returned to a favoured position in Irish society while substantial numbers of Catholic nobles and leaders could no longer sit in parliament unless they took a loyalty oath as agreed under the Treaty of Limerick. Having proven their support for Catholic absolutism by their loyal support for James during the war, and because the Papacy supported the Jacobites after 1693, Irish Catholics increasingly faced discriminatory legislation in the Penal Laws that were passed by the predominantly loyalist and Protestant Parliament from 1695.
Nonetheless, the franchise was still available to Catholics. Until 1728, Catholics voted in House of Commons elections and held seats in the Lords, but in that year another Jacobite uprising against the Protestant throne occurred and following which they were explicitly banned from doing so. Privileges were also mostly limited to supporters of the Church of Ireland. Protestants who did not recognise the state supported Church were also discriminated against in law. Non-conformists such as Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and Quakers, also had a subservient status in Parliament: after 1707 they could hold seats, but not hold public office. Thus, the new system favoured a new Anglican establishment in Church and State.
By 1728, the remaining nobility was either firmly Protestant or loyal Catholic. The upper classes had dropped most of its Gaelic traditions and adopted the Anglo-French aristocratic values then dominant throughout most of Europe. Much of the old feudal domains of the earlier Anglo-Irish and Gaelic-Irish magnates had been broken up and given to Irish loyalists soldiers, and English and Scottish Protestant colonial settlers. Long under the control of de jure power of magnates, the far larger peasant population had nonetheless under the relatively anarchic and sectarian conditions established a relative independence. Now, the nobility and newly established loyalist gentry could exercise their rights and privileges with more vigour and. Much like England, Wales, and Scotland, the franchise was always limited to the property owning classes which favoured the landed gentry.
The Irish Parliament was left incapable of protecting Irish economic and trade interests from being subordinated to English ones, at a time of English commercial expansion. This in turn severely weakened the economic potential of the whole of Ireland and placed the new and largely Protestant middle-class at a disadvantage. The result was a slow but continual exodus of Anglo-Irish, Scots-Irish, and Protestant Irish families and communities to the colonies, principally in North America. Ironically, the very efforts to establish Anglicans as the primacy in Ireland, slowly subverted the general cause of the Protestant Irish which had been the objective of successive Irish and British Parliaments.
The Anglo-Irish Parliament did assert its independence from London several times however. In the early 18th century it successfully lobbied for Parliament to be called every two years (as opposed to the start of each new reign) and shortly thereafte, it declared itself to be in session permanently, mirroring developments in the English Parliament. As the effects on the general prosperity of the Kingdom by submitting the Irish Parliament to review of the British Parliament became apparent, the Irish Parliament slowly asserted itself, and from the 1770s the Irish Patriot Party began agitating for greater powers relative to the English Parliament. Additionally, later ministries moved to change the Navigation Acts that had limited Irish merchants' terms of trade with Britain and its empire.
After 1707, Ireland was, to varying degrees, subordinate to the Kingdom of Great Britain. The Parliament of Ireland only had control over legislation, while the executive branch of government, under the Lord Lieutenant, answered to the British government in London. Furthermore, the Penal Laws meant that Catholics, who constituted the majority of Irish people, were not permitted to sit in, or participate in, elections to the parliament. Meanwhile, building upon the precedent of Poyning's Law which made the Irish legislature subordinate to the Parliament of Great Britain, new bills were passed by the British Parliament which forbade the Irish parliament from discussing any bill without the British legislature's prior approval.
The effects of this subordination of Irish Parliamentary power soon became evident, as Ireland slowly stagnated economically and the Protestant population shrank in relative size. Additionally, the growing relative wealth of the American colonies, whose local authorities were surprisingly independent of the British Parliament, provided additional ammunition for those who wished to increase Irish Parliamentary power. When the British governments started centralising trade, taxation and judicial review throughout the Empire, the Irish Parliament saw a surprising ally in the American colonies, who were growing increasingly resistant to the British government's objectives. When open rebellion broke out in the American colonies, the Irish Parliament passed several initiatives which showed support for the American grievances.
Fearing another split by Ireland, as rebellion spread through the American colonies and various European powers joined in a global assault on British interests, the British Parliament became more acquiescent to Irish demands. In 1782, following agitation by major parliamentary figures, most notably Henry Grattan, supported by the Patriot movement, the Irish parliament's authority was greatly increased. Under what became known as the Constitution of 1782 the restrictions imposed by Poyning's Law were removed. A little over a decade later, Catholics were given the right to cast votes in elections to the parliament, although they were still debarred from membership.
From 1792 the efforts of Henry Grattan to promote a wider Catholic involvement in politics caused his opponents to declare their support for a continuing Protestant Ascendancy, but this ended with the Act of Union 1801.
The House of Lords was presided over by the Lord Chancellor, who sat on the woolsack, a large seat stuffed with wool from each of the three lands of England, Ireland and Scotland. In the Commons, business was presided over by the Speaker who, in the absence of a government chosen from and answerable to the Commons, was the dominant political figure in the parliament. Speaker Connolly remains today one of the most widely known figures produced by the Irish parliament.
Much of the public ceremonial in the Irish parliament mirrored that of the British Parliament. Sessions were formally opened by the Speech from the Throne by the Lord Lieutenant, who, it was written "used to sit, surrounded by more splendour than His Majesty on the throne of England".[3] The Lord Lieutenant, when he sat on the throne, sat beneath a canopy of crimson velvet. At the state opening, MPs were summoned to the House of Lords from the House of Commons chamber by Black Rod, a royal official who would "command the members on behalf of His Excellency to attend him in the chamber of peers".
Sessions of Parliament drew many of the wealthiest of Ireland's Anglo-Irish elite to Dublin, particularly as sessions often coincided with the social season, (January to 17 March) when the Lord Lieutenant presided in state over state balls and drawing rooms in the Viceregal Apartments in Dublin Castle. Leading peers in particular flocked to Dublin, where they lived in enormous and richly decorated mansions initially on the northside of Dublin, later in new Georgian residences around Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square. Their presence in Dublin, along with large numbers of servants, provided a regular boost to the city economy.
The Parliament's records were published from the 1750s and provide a huge wealth of commentary and statistics on the reality of running Ireland at the time. In particular, minute details on Ireland's increasing overseas trade and reports from various specialist committees are recorded. By the 1780s they were published by two rival businesses, King & Bradley and Grierson.[4]
In 1801, the Parliament of Ireland was abolished entirely, when the Act of Union created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and merged the British and Irish legislatures into a single Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The union arose from a number of strains in Anglo-Irish relationships. In 1798, British rule in Ireland was shaken by the failed United Irishmen rebellion. The crisis over the 'madness' of King George III produced tension, as both of the King's parliaments in each of his two kingdoms possessed the theoretical right to nominate a regent, without the requirement that they choose the same person. Nonetheless, the situation was resolved when both chose the Prince of Wales.
The result of these tensions was a British government decision that the entire relationship between Britain and Ireland should be fundamentally changed. Constitutionally, it was necessary for the Act of Union to be passed by both the British and Irish parliaments before it could become law. The Irish parliament was therefore effectively asked to vote for its own abolition, strongly opposed by Henry Grattan who campaigned for legislative freedom for the Irish Parliament.
After one failed attempt, the passage of the act in the Irish parliament was finally achieved, albeit with the mass bribery of members of both houses, who were awarded British and United Kingdom peerages and other 'encouragements'. After convening for the final time on 15 January 1800, on 1 January 1801 the Kingdom of Ireland and its parliament ceased to exist. It was the last legislature in Irish history, apart from the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to have power to legislate for the whole island.
Part of the deal involved the concession of Catholic emancipation, which meant the removal of all remaining discriminatory laws against Catholics and faiths, other than the established Church of Ireland. This had long been resisted by the Irish Parliament. However, following the Union, King George III blocked emancipation, arguing that it conflicted with his coronation oath to uphold the Protestant faith. The Emancipation bill was finally passed in 1829 under the Premiership of the Irish soldier politician and statesman the Duke of Wellington. Daniel O' Connell M.P. was the first elected Irish Catholic member
In the 1830s and 1840s, nationalist leader Daniel O'Connell led an unsuccessful campaign for the repeal of the Act of Union and the restoration of 'Grattan's Parliament'. Those advocating repeal insisted that Catholics be granted the right to sit in any restored parliament.

i found this page a few days ago, don't ask me how. as my mind falls into place, there seems to be a pattern to it.
1) i don't know, and i don't know i don't know, so life is at an even pace.
2) i don't know and i know i don't know. people are familiar but i don't know who or why.
3) i know a little bit. i recognize a few people. i know the who and why about them.
4) i know some people. i recognize them. i can remember the last time i saw them, and the first time i saw them. usually i remember them since the crash, but there has been one or two that i remember as things that took place in the past. that's a big jump for me cause there was 'now' which was very real with events i could experience and REMEMBER and then there was a hazy time where i looked up a stairway. i knew there were people up there but i didn't see people. i just heard sounds that became clearer as the light became dimmer. someone told me "it's not because you were bad, it's training so that you can help people".i felt super confident and suddenly i fell backwards i woke in that hospital.
i found this journal i started called 'tallyellowsista'. i'll read it again to remember what i wrote and how i felt. i don't remember when i began writing it or when i wrote the last entry. but i think it was cold when i began this and it's summer now. summer just began.
the arm that could not move at all now moves and that hand can open and close and make a fist. i have seen about three different doctors and started with the last one maybe two weeks ago. he's traditional chinese and stretches and bends me and the female doctor gave me exercises that remind me a little of my martial arts days. i had a long heated argument one day and told her i had gone to western doctors and they had given up and gone as far as they could go. i thought since the clinic had chinese doctors i would be getting something besides the bending and twisting that all the therapists had done and if that's all they could do…i don't remember what my 'if' was. she sat with a smile as my brother translated for her. then she taught me about eight different exercises to do with my hands and fingers. all day my arm and hand has been moving, almost as if i were practicing some heavenly kung fu.

On this everyday living, people today simply cannot do without the solutions of http://robertdodellattorney.business.site/ a good law firm. Crime comes about every day close to us. Sometimes we find ourselves in uncommon conditions which make us suffer unfairly. Other individual circumstances like individual bankruptcy, serious estates and mortgage drive us to rent lawyers. In a single word, fantastic lawyers are very crucial. Coping with lawyers isn't a simple point. Many issues about employing lawyers are critical and so they come initially. For example, you many find yourself employing attorneys on retainer. These attorneys are usually not any unique from people you recognize.
The lawyers only talk to for the retainer fee to make sure that they might provide you their products and services. Precisely what is a retainer rate? This type of a charge is on hourly foundation. It truly is unique within the typical expenses you shell out an attorney because of defending your place in court. They contain the next:
• Session service fees – Ahead of you can begin functioning by using a specified attorney, you have to set several appointments with her or him.
• Research do the job – Right after hearing your facet of tale, your lawyer spends some time carrying out study to assist you. You'll need to pay for his or her time.
• Interviews – as being the law firm studies your situation, you and her or him will look for possible witnesses. Then, your attorney has to carry out an interview with each individual witness. Most lawyers want to get a spend for his or her time.
Legal professionals on retainer want only to ascertain your seriousness while in the total procedure. That is why they may request for just a distinct deposit 1st. When looking for this kind of a lawyer, analyze your price range initially. Most people drive to save up income in legal matters as much as you possibly can. You must look for your less expensive hourly charge law firm. Lots of people do not just take it kindly. Nonetheless, should you give it some thought, you set apart substantial amounts of funds as down payment to the property you like.
When you system to hire an attorney a few situation associated with precisely the same property, you should not experience lousy if request to pay a retainer charge. A retainer payment is simply a small deposit in comparison to other types you may have paid out prior to. The more you refuse to pay the charge, the greater you hold off your justice. Even so, get your time and efforts to pick a very good lawyer. There is an enormous likelihood that you choose to will form out superior lawyers from terrible attorneys for those who choose your time and energy. If you locate a fantastic lawyer, make sure that each one retainer agreements are in creating.

Beth Kinderman has been singing and writing songs for as long as she can remember. She began teaching herself to play the guitar in 1999 with the idea that she might eventually want to actually share her songs with other people. However, she didn't take songwriting or performing very seriously until 2003, when a transformative spiritual experience in Granada, Spain persuaded her to make music a bigger part of her life. Following that vision has proven to be a pretty good decision so far. Upon returning to the United States, Beth started playing solo shows at and around her alma mater, St. Olaf College. She also recorded her first demos with the help of Max Clark (Unicorn Basement, Nightosaur) and released some of them on cassette tapes through his record label, Unnecessary Friction.
After settling in Minneapolis in 2004, Beth continued to write and demo solo material at home, using an 8-track recorder purchased with money earned from participating in various bizarre and unpleasant medical research studies. As she struggled to break into the Twin Cities' music scene, a friend suggested that her geeky, quirky folk-pop songs might find a receptive audience at local science fiction conventions. Beth's first con, both as an attendee and as a performer, was MarsCon 2007. Here she first encountered the filk and comedy music communities, and met her future collaborator and producer, Dave Stagner, at a room party where they bonded over their mutual love for Richard Thompson while singing "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" together. Beth's and Dave's paths continued to cross as Beth became more involved in Twin Cities fandom. When Beth started looking for somewhere to record a CD with better production values than her "lab rat demos," Dave offered to produce and engineer it in his newly assembled home studio, Extraterrestrial Highway. It was the beginning of a fruitful creative partnership that continues to this day.
Beth's first full-length album, All Of My Heroes Are Villains, was recorded on a patently ridiculous schedule of six weekends in January and February 2008 and released at MarsCon 2008. A few of the songs' arrangements called for drums, so Dave recruited Justin Hartley (who was in another one of Dave's bands, Feng Shui Ninjas) to play on the album. Other songs seemed to benefit from harmony vocals, so Beth called upon her college roommate Nikki Huls, with whom she had been singing informally for many years. It quickly became apparent that what had been intended as a loose federation of guest musicians actually worked very well as a rock band. The newly formed group dubbed itself Beth Kinderman & the Player Characters, then went about re-arranging Beth's solo material and booking a variety of shows at bars, coffee shops, and cons around the upper Midwest.
Thereafter, an ever-growing association with fandom and the regular availability of a band caused a major shift in Beth's songwriting. Her songs moved away from their confessional, modern folk singer-songwriter roots and began to take on the elaborate, multi-layered progressive rock qualities of the Kate Bush records she had loved as a teenager, along with the SF and fantasy themes common to the filk community. Evidence of these changes can be found on the the first release credited to the Player Characters as a band, 2009's Apocalypse Blues. The album's complex arrangements (which among other things involved two different choirs, an ensemble of Middle Eastern percussionists, a fiddle player willing to perform in the key of D flat, several hours spent coaxing the correct tone from a spaghetti pot lid, and more guitar parts than any rational human should ever consider trying to edit and mix) stretched the band's musical and project management abilities to their perceived limits and beyond. This is most evident on the album's title tracks: a trilogy of progressive rock songs about three women from the rebooted Battlestar Galactica TV series that defined a new creative direction for the Player Characters. Apocalypse Blues is an album that the band takes great pride in to this day.
2010 saw the Player Characters performing at a record number of cons across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois, and releasing their third album, More Songs About Robots & Death. It was a smaller-scale release that allowed the band to showcase Beth's more comedic and pop-oriented original material, as well as some classic rock cover songs (David Bowie, Peter Schilling, Led Zeppelin, Talking Heads) that demonstrated the Player Characters' evolving sound and influences.
Nikki relocated and left the core Player Characters group in mid-2010, though she continues to collaborate with the group in various live and studio settings as her schedule allows. After her departure, the band operated as a trio and occasionally solicited help from a variety of guest vocalists, including Kelly Reich (Candles Enough), Lizzy Gross, Rachel Traynham, and Tami Murck (Feng Shui Ninjas). Late in 2010, Beth, Dave, and Justin met Elizabeth Greenberg at a music party and felt an immediate connection to her. Elizabeth formally joined the Player Characters in January 2011 on violin and harmony vocals. Her contributions to the band can first be heard on 2011's Winter Is Coming, a 5-song EP of original songs inspired by works of fantasy literature (and including Beth's second song trilogy, the Fool's Trilogy).
2012 and 2013 brought the Player Characters many more changes and a temporary slowdown in band activity. In early 2012, Beth gave birth to her first child, William Blake, who understandably distracted her from writing and performing for quite some time. Elizabeth also moved out of state for two years to pursue a graduate degree. During this period, Beth produced an EP for the folk duo Candles Enough and often played drums and mandolin at their live shows. Beth also wrote, and the band recorded, an epic prog-folk song inspired by Dante's Inferno that was paired with Middle Eastern dance choreography for "Paved with Good Intentions," a Minnesota Fringe Festival show by Smiling Lune. As a trio, the Player Characters also assembled a number of Beth's song parodies and humorous originals (which are frequently inspired by tabletop roleplaying games in keeping with the band's name) into an EP called Return of the Son of More Songs About Robots & Death. Beth's comedy songs continue to appear sporadically on the Funny Music Project.
Beginning in 2014, with William increasingly self-sufficient and Elizabeth on her way back to Minnesota, Beth finally embarked on a long-delayed songwriting project she'd been thinking and talking about for years: composing, arranging, and recording The Hero's Journey, a 17-song concept album with one song for each phase of the monomyth structure as laid out in Joseph Campbell's book The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The rough drafts of the songs were written during February Album Writing Month in 2014 and 2015, then refined extensively through live performance and studio work as the Player Characters began the massive task of making the new record. Beth also continued to expand her audience by performing at the Confluence SF convention in Pittsburgh, PA and the Ohio Valley Filk Fest (accompanied by Dave) for the first time in 2015. Notably, Beth won the songwriting contest at OVFF 31 and also placed second in Iron Filker!
However, this time of intense creativity was followed by a time of equally intense personal struggle in 2016 and 2017. Members of the band experienced various professional challenges, health problems, financial setbacks, and other difficulties that often regrettably took priority over musical pursuits. But it wasn't all bad. Beth and Dave both became heavily involved in running the music tracks at two Twin Cities SF conventions, CONvergence and Minicon, a volunteer role they maintain to this day. Justin and Dave joined and performed with a vast array of other bands, both together and separately - Gernsback Continuum, The Meadow Leaves, The Leprechaun Pirates, Big Loud Monsters, Temperance Turbines, and more. Elizabeth took a job on the East Coast, but is still considered an official member of the band and continues to appear on albums and at live performances when able. Last but not least, Beth had her second child, Arya Sophia, in 2017.
Despite it all, the Player Characters have not been idle as they waited for the time to be right to take the next steps. Beth regularly writes new songs, and the band has continued to rehearse and make music in song circles and at conventions. All members of the band have made guest appearances with other groups; most recently, Beth and Justin contributed guest vocals and drums, respectively, to the Faithful Sidekicks' second album, Achievement Unlocked. The Player Characters have also released several singles, including song parodies and funny songs for the FuMP and the forthcoming Madam Opus compilation album of songs by women in comedy music, and a new recording of "Underneath the Mask" that was used in Dave's Minnesota Fringe Festival play "The Tragedy of Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Now, in the tenth year of the Player Characters' existence, Beth, Elizabeth, Dave, and Justin are finally ready to finish The Hero's Journey and share it with the world. They've resumed work in the studio with renewed vigor while also preparing to launch their first Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds needed to finish and print the album. They hope you'll join them as they finally conclude this phase of their artistic journey, and as they begin the next one. Everything is circles.

Lately I've had several people ask me how to put a sleeve on a quilt. How about you, are you comfortable making sleeves for your quilts?
I am partial to "D" sleeves because they help your quilt hang so nicely. They allow the bulk of whatever the quilt's hung on to not peek out over the top. Even knowing that they won't show, though, I try to make sure my sleeves are pretty. They don't necessarily match, but I rarely just stick any old fabric on there. But that's just me. Do what you like, whatever makes YOU happy.
My absolute, hands-down, all-time favorite tutorial for making a D sleeve for a quilt was written by Susan Brubaker Knapp, of Blue Moon River. You can find her tutorial here.
Here you can see the back of one of my quilts on which I used this method. Can you see how this builds in a sort-of pleat to allow a hanger to fit? This way the quilt is eased over a pipe, for example, and will hang flatter. (Yes, I know it looks like I sewed it on crooked. I didn't, it's just a way-less-than-stellar photo!)
Another tip I noted recently is to use glue basting to help hold your sleeve in place while you stitch it down! I think this is absolutely brilliant. There's no shifting, and no pins poking you while you move it every which way. Perfect!
Whatever method you use, do put a sleeve on your quilts. You never know when (or where) you'll want to hang it. I'm in the very slow process of trying to get them on my whole collection (including the antiques). Idle hands, you know…
I'm off to do just this. Three of my quilts are headed to MQX, and one is still sleeveless. Do all your quilts have sleeves?

Tougher A-levels and GCSEs for arts subjects
A-levels and GCSEs in arts subjects in England, including music, drama, art and dance, are to be made more "rigorous and demanding", Education Secretary Michael Gove is to announce.
They will be taught from September 2016, alongside changes to A-levels in RE and design and technology.
Mr Gove is also expected to reveal the content of tougher, new-look GCSEs in subjects such as history and geography.
Schools should "nurture creative talent in every child," says Mr Gove.
The announcements will set out the next stages of the government's programme of exam reform, with changes being phased in over the next few years.
Higher grades
Arts subjects are the latest to be revised, with new GCSEs in art and design, music, drama and new A-levels in music, drama and dance.
Exam boards and experts will help to devise the content.
Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, said she was delighted that work on revising GCSE music is "going to come to fruition".
A-levels in design and technology, PE, and religious studies will also be revised.
The education secretary is expected to announce details of exams which are further along the process of being redesigned.
This will include setting out what will be taught in GCSE history, geography, sciences and modern languages.
This will bring them into line with the three GCSE subjects which are to be revised first - English literature, English language and maths.
Last week, exam regulator Ofqual announced that these would be graded from 9 to 1, with the highest grade to be twice as hard as an A*.
Changes to the structure of exams have already been announced - such as shifting from modules to exams at the end of two years.
The revised content of a raft of A-levels is also set to be announced, including art and design, business, computer science, economics, English literature, English language, English language and literature, history, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology.
These will be taught from September 2015.
Darren Henley, author of a review of cultural education, backed the plans for arts subjects: "I strongly believe that all children can and should benefit from receiving a wide-ranging, adventurous and creative cultural education.
"Studying subjects such as art and design, dance, drama and music helps young people grow into well-rounded, knowledgeable and skilled individuals."
The education secretary said: "I am passionate about great art, drama, dance, music and design, and I am determined to ensure every child enjoys access to the best in our culture. I also want all schools to be able to nurture creative talent in every child.
"That is why I am delighted that new high-quality qualifications in creative and cultural subjects will be made available to all students."

Boy's life cut short by accident, timing
First of two columns
Sometime between 1932 and 1934, my father's 9-year-old brother, Bernardo G. Treviño, died after he was hit by a car while crossing Brazos Street. The young boy was one of several hundred buried in paupers' graves at what became Stinson Field. Although I have been able to visit the gravesite with the airport manager, they have limited records available to indicate who is buried there. They only have about 20 confirmed names out of several hundred unmarked graves. I am hoping you or your readers can provide more detailed information on the location of Bernardo's gravesite so that his 92-year-old brother can pay him one final visit.
— Frank Treviño
This was a hard one to let go of. Life was stingy to Bernardo … not nearly enough years, a terrible injury, parents who had to work hard for too little money and the bad luck to be hurt at a time when medicine offered little to help him. Even after his death, there was a lack of respect for the boy's earthly remains. You and your father do Bernardo honor, though, and from what we have found, his parents did the best they could.
As of the 1930 census, Bernardo was 7 years old, living with his parents Macedonio and Juana Treviño and five siblings, including your father Francisco, age 6, in a rear apartment at 317 Chihuahua St. All of the children are said to have been born in Texas; none at that time attended school, including the boys' two older sisters, ages eight and 12. Macedonio's occupation is given as "Laborer," as on the Mexican identification card you shared. "Immigration year" is given as 1930 for both parents, so they were newcomers. Under "Speaks English," there's a "no" for both.
Newspaper stories, probably compiled from police reports, show that the family had moved a few blocks away, to 1322 Hidalgo St. According to the San Antonio Express, May 30, 1932, and the San Antonio Light of the same day, Bernardo was knocked down the day before in the 600 block of South Zarzamora Street near San Luis Street by a vehicle that seems not to have stopped. The Light story is headlined "S.A. crashes injure 10," and the Express asserts that "11 persons hurt in auto crashes." Many of the victims in these and other such stories of the time were pedestrians, especially children and the elderly, who stepped off curbs and incurred everything from cuts and bruises to crushed feet or fractured skulls. Many were taken to Robert B. Green Hospital, where the medical staff would have been experienced in treating such cases.
"Road vehicle traffic was lethal during this period," says Hugh Hemphill, author of "San Antonio on Wheels: The Alamo City Learns to Drive" and general manager of the Texas Transportation Museum. "Safety was not much of a consideration at all, and driving drunk was common. Road markings and pedestrian crossings were rare. Visibility out of cars was not great."
When Bernardo was struck by what your father remembers as a dual rear-wheel truck, he was taken by C.D. Linn of 1816 Monterey St. to the city-county hospital that provided medical services to the indigent. According to the Express, Bernardo was "treated in Robert B. Green Memorial Hospital for bruises." No arrest was made, presumably because the hit-and-run driver couldn't be found.
Bernardo's injuries were much more serious than that, and they couldn't have come at a much worse time. 1932 and 1933 are generally agreed by historians to have been the worst years of the Great Depression. For 1932, GNP falls a record 13.4 percent; unemployment rises to 23.6 percent. Robert B. Green Hospital was staggeringly burdened by more needy patients than at any time since its 1917 founding. People were poor who hadn't been poor before. The hospital for at least a year during the early 1930s ran on scrip — a sort of IOU in place of payment in real currency during a time of bank failures and defaulting on property and other taxes. The year of Bernardo's accident, the city made some drastic budget cuts but elected not to decrease its contribution to the hospital — when it actually needed a major increase.
Your father remembers a broken leg and deep scrapes and bruises, which is consistent with the information on his death certificate, but we don't know what diagnosis was made when he was brought to the hospital nor what was done for him there. While the University Hospital System, successor to the Robert B. Green Hospital, still has some of its ancestor institution's patient registries, no patient data from 1929 to 1940 has survived, says Karen Glenney, Ph.D., director of corporate records. She also checked Board of Managers minutes from the time of Bernardo's accident but found no mention of him or his treatment,
Al Sanders, M.D., a retired orthopedic surgeon and former president of the Bexar County Medical Society, considered the causes cited on Bernardo's death certificate and offered some conjectures. It's possible that Bernardo sustained an open fracture, where the bone broke through the skin — not uncommon in the case of trauma from a motor-vehicle collision. During Bernardo's time in the hospital, his treatment probably would have included debridement (removal of damaged tissue), washing out the wound to clean it thoroughly and packing it with sterile gauze before putting Bernardo's leg in a cast. From then on, as long as the alignment of the broken bone was good and stable, he would have been treated as an outpatient. Eventually, the cast would have been replaced with another, and the wound would have been checked and cleaned again.
Sanders says it could be that Bernardo developed a bacterial infection, probably staphylococcus or tetanus. The tetanus vaccine — nearly 100 percent effective in preventing the disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control — was first used widely in the armed services during World War II, and the sulfa drugs that were the precursors of antibiotics as we know them were barely in the experimental stage the year he died. Either bacterium could have entered the wound, but a staph infection is more likely and might have resulted in osteomyelitis, an inflammation and infection of the bone.
Sanders referred me to an article, "A History of Osteomyelitis from the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery," published in the Bone and Joint Journal, May 31, 2007, that gives an overview of what Bernardo's doctors might have done for him. "Prior to the introduction of penicillin in 1940 … the management of acute osteomyelitis was based on the principles of the American surgeon, Winnett Orr." The wound from the open fracture or surgery to remove diseased bone "was left open and Vaseline gauze used for packing. The limb was then immobilized in plaster in a neutral position. Dressings and plasters were changed as infrequently as possible in an effort to reduce secondary infection."
"Pain and fever," says the article, "provided the main indication for inspection of the wound. No antiseptics were used as (this method) relied on the natural defense mechanisms of the tissues." Your father remembers that Bernardo had an infection; these symptoms may be what prompted your grandparents to take him back to the hospital. We don't know how long he was there, but we know from his death certificate that he died almost two months after his accident, at 2:15 p.m., July 27, 1932, in Robert B. Green Hospital.

journal page and work-in-progress
Well, today I was too busy USING my new art supplies to make my video, so look for that tomorrow! Instead, here is my art journal entry--ideas that I like from a magazine on pretty pages of layered paints. And a portrait of my niece that I'm nearly finished with. I'm not sure how happy I am with it because it is meant to be a gift for my SIL and I know that it doesn't EXACTLY capture her sweet daughter...I always hesitate. Mommies know their children so well that I don't know if I'd ever feel completely confident giving it to her. Anyway, here it is. I'm working in soft pastels on pastel board. I've never used pastel board before and I really want more! They hold so many layers of color and look so smooth and soft. I almost didn't buy it, but I'm so glad I did. Now, I know that I like the boards so much more than paper.

Bytecoin Atm Oakland: What's in Your Wallet? – BTC
Thank you so much for coming to our website in looking for "Bytecoin Atm Oakland" online. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network has become the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies that offer long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the appropriate area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these businesses determine how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current constitutional difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. A lot of people prefer to use a money deflation, particularly those that want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary seclusion, for example, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place included in your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies. You have probably heard this many times where you usually distribute the good word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What goes on when the value accidents? " to date, many POS devices delivers free conversion of fiat, improving some issue, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people is likely to be reluctant to put up any. We have to find a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't essential to comprehend how the process works in and of itself, but it's simply important to comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can only choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could result in company being unable to continue to run or to stop operation.
Bytecoin Atm Oakland: Everybody Wins: Cryptocurrency
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, predicated on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it really is worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a steady stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is only a representation of worth, but there's no genuine tangible kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the process where it is transacted. All deals on the crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This isn't something short term wherever your web visitors may challenge or demand a concessions, or use dishonest sleight of hand. In practice, many professionals would be a good idea to make use of a cost processor, because of the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency transactions, you need to be sure that safety is difficult. With any type of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your private tips and therefore take your money. Unfortunately, you probably will never get it back. It's vitally important for you yourself to follow some very good safe and sound procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may guard you from many of these damaging functions. In case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be dealt as a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that kind of personal money is not managed by a key bank system and it is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a limited quantity of products, this cash's price is dependant on market forces, allowing entrepreneurs to trade over cryptocurrency exchanges. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers claim that there's "actual" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever declining amount of currency or some sort of wages in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of trades lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be just that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It truly is also possible that the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act. When searching on the web forBytecoin Atm Oakland, there are many things to ponder.

Bytecoin Atm Oakland: Fixing the Financial Shortfall: Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. As such, it is more resistant to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can easily be attained by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the quantity of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there exists no requirement for big sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest occasions in the world market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also take part in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in money financing, it really is a fact which you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these websites you might be required fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a reasonable investment strategy.
