Six years ago, the Chamber set out to more fully understand the experiences developers encountered when they moved potential projects through the City of Duluth's Planning & Construction Services Department. We interviewed several individuals who had shepherded building and expansion projects through City Hall.
It was an education. We shared our findings with the City's leadership team. We conveyed what we had learned in the spirit of providing City decision-makers the candid feedback they needed to champion additional, positive change within their project review and approval process.
This story has a happy ending. We were able to challenge the process while concurrently affirming the increasing number of positive encounters experienced by developers. The leadership team at City Hall indicated a willingness to fully consider our recommendations. Improvements were made.
There is more good news. Last year, Councilor Noah Hobbs established, and led, the Red Tape Reduction Taskforce. I was privileged to serve on the taskforce. We recently concluding our work and provided the Duluth City Council with our recommendations. We intended to make it easier for entrepreneurs to do business in our beloved Zenith City. We provided the Council specific details regarding how best to bring additional efficiency and predictability to the project review and approval process.
The City has been incorporating these incremental customer service improvements. Then, earlier this month, Mayor Larson and Chief Administrative Officer, Noah Schuchman, implemented a bold, positive change. With a commitment to improving customer service and reducing red tape the City combined two departments – Business & Economic Development with Planning & Construction Services. Mayor Larson and Noah Schuchman indicated they are motivated to have this combined initiative provide greater consistency and transparency in the project development process.
The newly formed Planning & Economic Development Department brings the City of Duluth into alignment with other Minnesota cities. The clear trend is to combine these economic development and community planning initiatives.
The Chamber's leadership applauds this encouraging step forward. We appreciate that it was one of Noah Schuchman's first impacts in his new leadership role at City Hall. We will continue to partner with Mayor Larson and her team as we, together, strive to illustrate that Duluth is a great place to do business. Duluth's future is bright.
In support,
David Ross
President & CEO

Substantial evidence in the literature shows that tobacco smoking has complex and divergent effects on inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). It ameliorates ulcerative colitis (UC); whereas it aggravates the risk of Crohn's disease (CD) and affects the disease course and severity. Studies have shown that nicotine has a positive influence on symptoms of UC. Also, it is demonstrated that nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, especially α7 subunit plays an essential component in the vagus nerve-based cholinergic anti-inflammatory effects. In the present study, we explored the effect of nicotine and α7 nicotinic agonists treatment in the DSS colitis mouse model. We also investigated the effects of cotinine, a major metabolite of nicotine, in the model. Methods: Different groups of C57BL6 mice, as well as α7, α5, and β2 nicotinic receptor knock out mice, and their littermates wild-type nicotinic receptor male adult mice were given DSS solution freely in the drinking water for 7 consecutive days after which tap water was given on the 8th day. We measured a Disease Activity Index (DAI) that includes body weight loss, blood presence in stools, stool consistency, local rectal irritation and length of the colon. The mice were then sacrificed on day 8 to allow examination of the entire colon. Disease severity and colon tissue histology and inflammatory markers including colonic myeloperoxidase (MPO) and colonic tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were evaluated. Levels of MPO and TNF-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis of the homogenized colon samples. The effect of oral, subcutaneous, mini pump nicotine, and oral cotinine treatments were examined on experimental colitis induced by 2.5% DSS in mice. In addition, we measured the plasma levels of the nicotine and cotinine in our treatment protocols. Results: The DSS 2.5% model of colitis is easily induced in mice. Administration of low doses of oral nicotine (12.5 and 25 μg/ml), but not high doses in DSS-treated mice displayed a significant decrease in disease activity index value, total histological damage scores, as well as colonic level of TNF-α compared to the control group. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of nicotine was not seen with chronic s.c., mini pump nicotine or oral cotinine administration. Differences in plasma levels of nicotine and cotinine do not seem to account for this lack of effect. Moreover, neither nicotine nor cotinine reversed colon length shortening in DSS-treated mice, except with the 0.5 mg/kg s.c. dose of nicotine. There was no change in MPO activity among the groups treated with oral or s.c. nicotine. Cotinine oral administration on its own failed to show a significant effect in the DSS model of colitis. α7 KO mice displayed a significantly increased in DAI value starting from day 4 till day 8, histological damage scores and TNF-α levels of were increased significantly compared to their littermate WT mice. Moreover, pretreatments with PHA-543613 (8 mg/kg), a selective α7 agonist, and choline chloride (40 ug/ml), an α7 nAChR natural agonist, significantly reduced clinical parameters in DSS-treated mice; however, they slightly inhibited the increase in the colonic TNF-α levels compare with vehicle DSS-treated mice. Moreover, PNU-120596 (3 mg/kg), a positive allosteric modulator for α7 nAChRs, significantly reduced DAI value and total histological damage score in DSS-treated mice. Conclusion: Results obtained from this study highlight that dose and route of administration play a critical role in the protective effect of nicotine in the DSS mouse colitis model. Also, these data suggest that α7 nAChR has a protective role in colitis with narrower therapeutic index. Data obtained from this study further understanding of the effect of nicotine in UC and may contribute in the development of new pharmaceutical designs for targeting nAChRs for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Climate Uturn - an ecological platform was launched in 2019 and focuses on creation and preservation of green areas, waste prevention, energy saving, environmental standards development.
A sustainable ecosystem is strategically important for the development of any country. The
only way to keep talented people in Armenia and attract new ones is to create comfortable
and modern living conditions. This means a healthy environment, opportunities for self-
realization, high-quality education and health care.
Today, our country, along with the entire planet, faces serious climate challenges that will inevitably affect our quality of life. It seems that at some point humanity has gone the wrong way and now needs to make a U-turn. That is why IDeA Foundation launches Climate Uturn — an environmental platform aimed at changing humen's attitude to the planet and behavioral patterns.
Nearly 50% of daily actions are just a mindless habit. By introducing green habits, Climate Uturn on its
turn, plan to engage people into sustainable circle of collective action that creates positive
environmental impact. In addition, the project program includes the development of environmental
standards for products and services implemented in Armenia., as well as, the platform focuses on 3
most relevant areas where it's easier to take an action and immediately see results. These are waste
prevention, creation and preservation of green areas, and energy saving.
Together with its partners, IDeA Foundation has already implemented a pilot project, World Cleanup Day in Armenia on September 15, 2018, engaging more than 10 thousand volunteers, thereby cleaning more than 300 points throughout Armenia, including Lake Sevan.


text: SOUTH AFRICA JOINS GLOBAL ANTI-SPAM INITIATIVE Posted on 23 June 2016 by Mark Beckman The National Consumer Commission is a member of the London Action Plan, which is a coalition formed by a number of regulators to combat spam, phishing and online ills. According to a statement, the members of the London Action Plan have concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) relating to unsolicited communications. The purpose of the MOU is to record the various regulators' intention to cooperate in the fight against unlawful spam as well as malicious messages. At present, spam is regulated on an opt-out basis in South Africa. This means that a marketer can send unsolicited communications, but must allow recipients to opt out from receiving further communications. When the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) comes into force, this will change to an opt-in system of regulation. Under such a system, marketers will not be allowed to send unsolicited communications without recipients' consent unless one of POPI's specific requirements are met. The London Action Plan's MOU might bolster South Africa's regulation of unsolicited communications. However, it is hoped that the MOU will provide aid in the battle against phishing and fraudulent messages in particular.

Pebble owners, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about its latest firmware update, which adds on a few improvements to its fitness tracking and messaging capabilities.
Pebble Health, the fitness tracking software built into Pebble Time that can seamlessly track steps and sleep, is now more accurate. That's good and all, but what's better is that you'll soon be able to load Health-enabled watchfaces into your Pebble.
Simply put, Pebble Health is a really useful tool that's buried too deeply in the user interface. So, the new ability to display metrics right next to the time, like your daily step count, is much welcomed.
The Pebble Health API has been updated to allow clever creators to whip up their own watchfaces with metrics gathered from the tracking app. We've only had a peek at one called Stride (pictured above,) but it's likely that the near future will bring us more detailed watchfaces that can compete with the likes of the upcoming Fitbit Blaze.
Better messaging
Pebble has also made messaging straight from the wearable a bit easier. If you're an iOS user, the update brings along a new option to reply to messages with custom replies.
Getting back to a text with "Hey Jen, I'm in the checkout line." always beats out stale, canned replies, like "I'll get back to you as soon as I am able."
The update brings along a few goodies for Android phones, too. If you can't take a call, you can now reply with a voice recording, emoji, or, like iOS users, you can just send a customized text reply.
This expanded messaging functionality is coming to Pebble Time-series watches, and thankfully, owners of the first generation of Pebble can take advantage of it, too.
…and other helpful tweaks
"Watch-only" mode kicks in when the battery in the Pebble Time gets dangerously low, and, you guessed it, it reduces its functions to that of a simple wristwatch. But now, the mode has been given a minor visual refresh, gives you more time (a few hours more, according to Pebble) to find a charger, and keeps your set alarms ticking.
Another improvement worth noting are the speed boosts for Pebble Time, Pebble Time Steel and Pebble Time Round. They are already pretty snappy, especially compared to the original Pebble, but the added zip will keep these smartwatches going well into the future.

Valentine's Day isn't just about the status of your relationship. I want to emphasize that.
As someone who has never been in a relationship on Valentine's Day, I've tried my very best to not feel down about the holiday. Even though I was constantly surrounded by friends and roommates who had SOs and gushed about their Valentine's Day plans, I learned to be happy for them, and also block it out and focus on myself. If anything, this holiday is about loving yourself.
And knowing that YOU are worth it. Today and every day.
I want to share 5 things to do today -- REGARDLESS of your relationship status.
3. Call your family
I think it's important to tell your family members you love them. Even if it's just a simple reminder that you're grateful to have them, because I believe the love you have for family goes beyond just any type of love.
4. Write a letter to yourself
Pull out a piece of paper and jot down 10 things you love about yourself.
And then keep the list going... 😉
5. Buy yourself the flowers
... because you're worth it.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is a holiday for much of the US workforce. Tomorrow is Independence Day, though we have another year until the sequel of the movie by that name. This is the day the US started down the road of becoming a country, and if you're a US citizen, i'd urge you to take a few minutes and look back at our declaration.
Half a year is gone in 2015. It's amazing to think that this year is already halfway gone. At the beginning of 2015, we had little information on the next version of SQL Server, though we had a preview of some features, like Row-Level Security (RLS), in January. Now we have CTP 2.1 and a lot of features that are being added. We've added some jumpstart links for Learning SQL Server 2016, so if today is quiet, check out an area and learn a bit about what's coming.
We continue to see data loss incidents on a regular basis. It's almost becoming a piece of news that we are desensitized to hearing. I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but I don't think the financial penalties are high enough to get companies taking it more seriously, or certainly not serious enough to ensure developers change their ways they build applications. If you doubt the issues here, read Troy Hunt's blog. He regularly finds companies not implementing security well.
All in all it's been a good year for technology and it's exciting to see many products changing, technologies maturing, and more options than ever for building software. I hope you have a great holiday weekend in the US, and a pleasant one elsewhere.

Progress on Bill to block reckless suits against gun makers
Fifty-nine percent of House members have signed on as co-sponsors, including 14 of Pennsylvania's 19 congressmen (Curt Weldon, Bill Shuster, Todd Russell Platts, Tim Murphy, Jim Gerlach, Charles Dent, Phil English, Paul Kanjorski, Melissa Hart, Tim Holden, John Murtha, John Peterson, Joseph Pitts, Don Sherwood).
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said the bill simply reaffirms state law.
"If a manufacturer does something wrong, is negligent, or knowingly puts a gun in the hands of a criminal, or does something else that is wrongful, this statute does not protect them," Specter said. . . .

SHORT TERM: gap up opening DOW 20K+, DOW +156
Overnight the Asian markets gained 1.1%. Europe opened higher and gained 1.0%. US index futures were much higher overnight, and at 9am the FHFA housing index was reported higher: 0.5% v 0.4%. The market gapped up at the open to SPX 2291 and continued to rally. The DOW opened over 20K and continued to rally as well. The rally continued throughout the day, with two 4 point pullbacks, until the SPX hit 2300. Then a dip into the close ended the day at SPX 2298.
For the day the SPX/DOW gained 0.80%, and the NDX/NAZ gained 1.00%. Bonds lost 13 ticks, Crude slid 35 cents, Gold dropped $9, and the USD was lower too. Medium term support now rises to the 2286 and 2270 pivots, with resistance at the 2321 pivot. Tomorrow: weekly jobless claims at 8:30, then leading indicators and new home sales at 10am.
The market gapped up at the open for the first time this week. We had a gap up opening on Friday that was sold within the opening minutes. After the opening the market continued to rally, with only two 4 point pullbacks, and hit SPX 2300 just before the close. New all-time highs today, and closing highs, in all four major indices. This is the first time both of these events have occurred together since mid-December. The uptrend may be extending after a period of sideways choppy consolidation. We are still holding to the possibility that this rally is a B wave that started at SPX 2234 (see SPX charts). The upside limit remains SPX 2305 for this scenario. Should the market exceed that level, then it is possible that Minute iii is underway (see DOW charts). Either way, it remains a bull market. Short term support is now at the OEW 2286 and 2270 pivots, with resistance at the 2321 pivot. Short term momentum remained pegged at extremely overbought all day, and now displays a slight negative divergence. Best to your trading!

Deciding which clutch you need and what's best for your application can be confusing. We install and deal exclusively with South Bend. We also have factory trained technicians that install these exact clutches everyday. As a South Bend Master Distributor we can help you determine the best clutch for your application.
Important questions to answer to help determine which clutch is best for your application:
- How much power does your diesel pickup truck make?
- Are you going to add more power in the future?
- How are you going to use your truck? Daily driver, light towing, heavy towing, sled pulling, etc.
Single Disc: If you like the stock pedal feel and drivability of a stock clutch then get a single disc clutch. If your making 400hp or less, and not towing 15k+ regularly, then get a single disc clutch.
Dual Disc, Double Disc, Twin Disc: If you plan on doing any sled pulling get an SFI certified dual or triple disc clutch. If your towing more then 15,000 lbs. on a regular basis then get a street dual disc clutch. If your making more then 500hp then get a dual disc clutch.
Unrealistic requests or expectations:
- My Ford PowerStroke makes 700hp and I want a clutch that doesn't have a stiff pedal.
- My Dodge Cummins makes 400hp, I want a single disc clutch that I can use for sled pulling.
- My Chevy Duramax tows 20,000lbs how many miles can I get out of a single disc clutch.
- This is the last clutch I ever want to put into my diesel pickup truck.
Our typical customer uses there truck for daily driving, has a tuner, light modifications installed for increased horsepower and occasionally tows a trailer on the weekends. The most popular clutches we install in our shop include the following:
(link) 13125-OK-HD NV4500 (5 speed) 1988-2004 Dodge Cummins Diesel
(link) 1947-OK-HD NV5600 (6 speed) 2001-2005 Dodge Cummins Diesel
(link) G56-OK-HD G56 (6 Speed) 2006-2014 Dodge Cummins Diesel
Each clutch has its limitations. Clutches built to hold high horsepower will not be the easiest clutch to drive on the street and will have a more aggressive engagement, especially when towing. Conversely single disc clutches designed for 400hp should not be expected to hold up to competition sled pulling. The bottom line is, there's is no such thing as the "best" clutch. Decide what you intend to use your truck for and get the "best" clutch for your application.

Actually it's with Edward James, the man who commissioned three of Magritte's most famous pictures. In one of my own half-waking nightmares I glance in a mirror and see someone else staring back at me. If the picture was an attempted exorcism of that… it didn't work.

Trying to pare down the characters to a very clear, simple style that is easy to reproduce was a challenge, and I had to keep sketching them out till I was confident about drawing them so they looked te same in all panels. Consistency is a harder trick to manage than you might think.

Andaman & Nicobar
The most obvious reason to travel to the Andamans is to let oneself go completely, to recharge the body and collect new ideas. The Andaman Islands, despite lying more than 1,000 km east of the Indian mainland and only about 300 km west of Bangkok, run the same time as Delhi i.e. the Indian Standard Time. On a trip to these islands, one should make sure to bring a lot of good books, some strong sun lotion, a hammock and snorkeling equipment.
Port Blair, the only sizable town on the islands, serves as the administrative capital. The center of the town is the lively Aberdeen Bazaar. Constructed entirely of wood, it has been razed to the ground several times in the past. However, every time, reconstruction was completed in no time and now it is as colorful as ever. Port Blair is the only place to do some sightseeing. The major attraction here is the Cellular Jail, slowly being claimed back again by nature, overgrowing with plants and moss. Today, the jail is a memorial to the freedom fighters, who laid down their lives to make the country independent. The library here has some interesting books for those interested in knowing more about the indigenous tribes. The Anthropological Museum displays some tools, dresses and photos. An interesting place is the Marine Museum, which covers the history and geography of the islands and the Fisheries Museum displays the rich marine life of the Andaman Sea.
Tour to Andaman and Nicobar Day trips from Port Blair offer various natural and historical excursions. One can either take a boat to Ross Island, the early administrative center of the British, or hike up Mount Harriet. Scuba diving is an option available in Wandoor, 30 km southwest of Port Blair.

It's hot in Africa, so that's exactly where you're headed here with Pragmatic Play's Hot Safari. Themed around the wild animals of the African plains, Pragmatic bring you a plethora of goodies too, including expanding wilds, a potentially 10x win multiplier on all spins that pay, as well as a super wild respin feature that adds wilds to each reel, and the traditional free spins game. Wow.
Presented over 5 to 6 reel, 3 row, 25 payline setup, this slot is set against the beautiful African savannah. Symbols on the reels include the usual lower value playing card symbols, along with higher value cards that consist of a meerkat, a gazelle, a zebra, a rhino and elephants.
The elephants are the big payer where symbols are concerned, get five across a payline to bag a 400 coin win. King of the jungle, the lion, features as the wild and substitutes for all other symbols when forming wins, expect for the scatter A wild that lands in the middle position will expand to fill the whole reel.
An extra reel brings extra fun
The 6th reel on the board includes a selection of multipliers, ranging from 1x to 10x and present on every winning spin. Your original win will be boosted by the amount shown within the multiplier reel.
A super wild can also be found lurking within the 6th reel, line the pointer up with this bad boy to trigger the 'super wild bonus' feature. You'll be awarded a respin and wilds will be added to each reel. If the wild lands in the middle position, the wild will expand to fill the whole reel, the same as the in base game detailed above.
For the free spins fans (that's everybody then!)
Get three of the monkey scatters across the reels to trigger the free spins feature, brining with it 10 free spins. Multipliers are still available during the free spins feature, as is the opportunity to trigger the super wild bonus which would push the free spins total to 20.
What you're really looking for is a wild on the middle position of each row along with the maximum 10x multiplier. If you manage this expect a 4000x your stake payout - sweet.
Bitcasino overview
Hot Safari is a great slot with loads of action, we love the multipliers as they really keep stoking the fire during the base game, and when the features hit you're ever-ready for the wins. Free spins wise, it's touch and go, with the better feature being the super wild bonus respins. Get more than one wild on that middle row to stack into some big wins too. Design could be better, but at this point all we care about is the money. Sorry, not sorry.

As a fourth-year dental student at the University of Florida, I've had the opportunity to serve patients across Florida.
Recently, I had the honor to volunteer my time at the Florida Dental Association Foundation's Mission of Mercy in Orlando. More than $2 million worth of dental care services was provided to nearly 1,900 patients, at absolutely no cost to the patients.
I can vividly recall my first patient of the day. He was fatigued and sheepish. After discussing the patient's current dental status, I quickly learned he was hesitant to speak due to discomfort caused by untreated cavities.
After assisting and completing the procedure, what transpired next was inspirational. His enthusiasm as he looked in the mirror and smiled was contagious. The patient realized that he would be able to eat pain-free and smile effortlessly.
After this experience, I wanted to investigate the issue of oral health in Florida from a public health perspective. It was shocking to learn that one in five children ages 3 to 5 in Florida have untreated dental decay. A study by my professor, Dr. Scott Tomar, found that 163,900 Floridians visited emergency departments due to oral problems in 2014, at a cost of $193.4 million.
These findings are troubling, but there are steps we can take to solve this problem. A meaningful approach to solve our oral health problem is through legislation.
HB 843 would establish the Dental Student Loan Repayment Program to support new dentists who practice in public health programs located in under-served areas and serve as Medicaid providers in under-served or rural areas. This legislation would help dental students graduating with an average of $287,000 in debt to meet that obligation while providing relief to our health system and care to patients who need it most.
Providing loan assistance for medical and dental students should not be considered a financial burden for the state. It is of public health interest to reduce this burden for newly graduated dentists. For an early career dentist, working for under-served populations and federally funded programs does not seem like an option due to their debt burden. Eliminating financial barriers can effectively change the career path of many young dentists.
It is clear that we need to, and can, improve oral health in our state. By signing HB 843 into law, we can ensure better oral health care in the future for all Floridian citizens and work together toward healthier smiles.

On Bitcoin, most of the world will usually fall into one of two opposing camps. In one camp are the technologists who comprehend the true nature and the full potential of this innovation. These are believers who unfortunately refuse to acknowledge any weakness in the Bitcoin system. In the other camp are complete naysayers - generally economists and finance guys, who are basically unable to comprehend the technological innovation of Bitcoin, and are content with making general disapproving noises about the concept. I will try to provide a balanced view, for which it is important to appreciate that Bitcoin is indeed one of the greatest-ever innovations in finance. It is definitely a lot cleverer than any of the theoretical bunkum taught in B schools' finance courses - capital asset pricing model, alpha, beta, Black Scholes Model, blah blah.
What's all the hype about? I mean, why is the online community, the media, and nearly the entire world all atwitter about this Bitcoin thing? Is all the attention deserved?
Yes. The attention is thoroughly deserved. Bitcoin is a very fundamental breakthrough. If I use an analogy from the automobile world, the innovation would be like going from horses to cars. That's different from incremental innovation, like going from slow to faster cars.
Coming to the bit about hype, you must have observed that hype in new technologies is different from hype in asset prices. Hype in real estate markets, stock markets reaches a climax at the end - just as the bubble is about to burst. Hype in new technologies however, is highest at the beginning. New technological breakthroughs like 3D printing, stem cell research, shale gas fracking etc. prompt scores of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists to chase business opportunities in these fields. However, it takes years for them to eventually figure out a sustainable revenue model. As an accomplished researcher put it, we tend to overestimate the impact of new technologies in the short run, and underestimate their impact in the long-run. You can see the internet as a prime example of this phenomenon – the initial hype led to the dotcom boom which unceremoniously ended in a bust, but two decades later, we do have wildly successful internet companies like Google, Facebook, eBay, Amazon and many others. So in that sense, despite all the hype and confusion around the phenomenon, there is a good chance that Bitcoin too will evolve into something meaningful in the long term.
You said Bitcoin was a fundamental innovation. Why?
Bitcoin is a fundamental innovation because it provides a very novel solution to "double-spending". The consequence is that it can "disrupt" the payments processing industry by allowing payments with zero transaction fees.
Okay, the plot thickens. What exactly is double-spending?
You see – online money is a just a series of bits, which can be easily replicated. This creates a unique problem for online currencies. In the real world, when you fork out a wad of hundred rupee notes and give it to someone, this money leaves your account and becomes permanently unavailable for you to reuse. Similarly, if you use net-banking etc. in e-commerce (you are still paying only rupees or dollars), the money that leaves your account becomes unavailable for you to use again. However, in an online currency where the money itself is represented by a series of bits, the same series of bits that you used to pay one recipient can be replicated and used again to pay another recipient. This is called double-spending, and it is a problem unique to digital currencies.
So what's the solution to double-spending?
The predictable solution would be to create a trusted central authority for verifying transactions. All transactions would be processed by this central authority which would check for inconsistencies, and process payments accordingly. But having a trusted central verifying authority brings us to two new problems:
- The trusted central authority would have power to command an exorbitant transaction fee for processing any payment.
- The trusted central authority would also have the power to make its own additions/deletions to the money-level in the system.
So what are you telling me? Did Satoshi Nakamoto solve this double-spending problem all by himself? Without any central authority?
Yep, that's what he did! He (or they) solved it by turning the concept of central authority on its head. Instead of a central authority, we have a peer-to-peer network that takes responsibility for transaction-verification. All transactions are verified by recording them on a global database. The members of the p2p transaction-verifier network are rewarded with newly created Bitcoins whenever a transaction is verified. Thus, there is a clear incentive for people to participate in the setting-up and operation of this p2p network.
You've got to be kidding me! Synching to a global database? It can't be that simple right?
Yep, I was kidding. It's definitely not as simple as synching to a global database. To achieve transaction-verification in a peer-to-peer network of strangers, Satoshi had to solve a very complex problem in communications network theory, known as the Byzantine Generals Problem.
How you love buzzwords! Byzantine General Problem? What kind of problem is this?
Let me restate the problem if you are using a peer-to-peer network of strangers to verify the details of a monetary transaction . Here's basically what you need to do:
- You need to find a way of propagating a message (the information about a transaction) in a network with nodes whose members are not necessarily known to each other – (and may or may not be honest), and then take a final decision on the basis of everyone's messages.
- The message transmission may fail either due to accident (errors) or due to deliberate action (sabotage by any of the nodes).
- The final decision after the message has been successfully propagated needs to be the consensus decision of all the honest nodes in the network.
This is the Byzantine Generals Problem.
In other words, a group of military generals are waiting outside a city, stationed at some distance from each other (direct communication is impossible, messengers must necessarily be used). They have to decide whether to invade the city, or stay put. There are honest generals as well as traitors in the mix. Decisions and opinions can only be communicated through messengers. There are enemies lurking in the path used by the messengers. With all these constraints, how can the group come to a consensus that is based on the views of all the honest generals?
If this problem sounds crazy, what is crazier is that Satoshi Nakamoto actually found a solution to this.
How did he solve the Byzantine Generals Problem?
Cryptography. That's why Bitcoin is also called a crypto-currency. The information about the financial transaction is encrypted in a fool-proof way and it is impossible to tamper with it. Even if the individual nodes in the p2p network don't know each other and don't trust each other, the system will work, so long as majority of the nodes are honest. The communication scheme is known as the Bitcoin Protocol.
Lemme get this straight. You're just telling me that an obscure dude solved an even-more-obscure problem in computer science. Why is the whole world in a tizzy? Does this have even the slightest impact on the future of business and finance?
Let me restate what has been achieved and you'll realize how momentous it is. We now have a method of verifying transactions that does not rely on any trusted central authority. In this method, the verification of transactions automatically creates new currency which can compensate the transaction verifiers. In other words – we have scored a double whammy:
- A payments system with zero transaction fees (since the p2p network is automatically compensated for transaction verification by the reward of newly created Bitcoins, there is no need for a separate transaction fee to process payments).
- A currency system where the supply cannot be manipulated by a central authority like a reserve bank.
Both points are extremely important. Payment processors like banks and other companies currently take a 2-3% transaction fee for processing any payment (often the transaction fees are higher than that if you want to transfer from or to under-developed countries). Bitcoin allows you to transfer money to anyone in the world without transaction fees.
It is like paying cash to someone in the park. You don't have to know the other person while paying cash, you don't need to trust him or her, you don't need anyone to supervise the cash transaction – it just works, and it has zero transaction fees. In the real world, zero transaction fees are only possible if you use cash, which means the other party needs to be at the same location. With Bitcoin, you can achieve this cash-like effect even if the recipient is thousands of miles away.
Bitcoin can revolutionize the payments-processing industry with its zero-transaction-fee structure. It can also enable new business models based on micro-payments.
What are micro-payments?
Extremely small payments – like 20 paisa, 50 paisa and so on. Micropayments are economically unviable in the current payment systems because of the overhead costs of processing these payments. In the Bitcoin system – micropayments can be processed because there is no overhead. This can unlock new business models for industries like journalism. Right now, newspapers are struggling to monetize their online content – subscriptions are not really taking off or making up for the loss of advertising revenue. People probably don't see a point in paying the entire six-seven dollars per week for subscribing to a newspaper. May be the concept of a newspaper subscription can be unbundled, in such a way that you pay a very small, almost negligible amount (a few cents) whenever you click on a specific article.
What are the other possibilities?
Bitcoin basically does two things which were not believed to be possible before
- Creates a decentralized international digital asset register where every digital asset is uniquely identifiable and cannot be replicated. Identification is not trust-based, it is established by cryptographic proof.
- Creates a trading platform for this digital asset – without any transaction fees.
The concept, therefore, can be extended to any digital asset that is frequently traded. Stock markets, etc. etc. The possibilities are practically endless.

Bobby Brown Honors His Daughter By Helping Other Women
Ever since his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, died tragically in July 2015, R&B singer Bobby Brown has been fighting to protect her image, set the record straight, and to make sure the person responsible for her death was held accountable. He also also been working to help other young women.
Brown founded the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House non-profit organization to offer help and support to victims of domestic violence. Recently, he and his manager wife, Alicia Etheredge, received a proclamation from the City of South Fulton Mayor Bill Edwards and other local officials saluting their plans to establish a 24-hour intervention center in Atlanta for female and male victims and survivors of all ages.
"Our family lives with the pain everyday of losing my beautiful daughter, Bobbi Kristina, to domestic violence," said Brown. "She loved Atlanta and in her memory we are proud to announce the formation of the Bobby Kristina Serenity House. Our initial goal is to help educate women and men of all ages, by creating a 24-hour crisis intervention line and emergency transitional shelter."
On the musical front, Bobby Brown was recently named one of "Top 60 Male Artists of All Time" by Billboard. That's a great honor.

A sitcom snob stoops to rethink CBS Mondays
This is a column for people who don't like CBS sitcoms. Because it's about CBS sitcoms.
Now, if you fall into this camp and, by the way, just happen to like comedies on television, odds are you're watching all the really funny ones on NBC. They're not the highest rated. But they get the most acclaim.
But are the people who love, say, "30 Rock" - the best sitcom on network television - or "The Office" or "My Name Is Earl" or even the elder statesman of praised-but-not-watched television, "Scrubs," denying themselves a good time by avoiding CBS on Monday nights?
Yes. Well, a qualified yes.
There's a perfectly understandable reason that people who like a certain kind of comedy - often dry, ironic, slightly bitter, tangentially odd and brilliantly creative - will avoid comedies on CBS.
They're too cool for the room.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, because it's true. Who's going to argue that CBS is cool at anything? Especially humor? It's not like you're going to cut your wrists on the sharp edges of pretty much any half hour over at CBS.
And if you're watching NBC series, it's probably because you like single-camera comedies without a laugh track. The idea being that a laugh track panders to an audience too stupid to laugh in the right places, and a multi-camera comedy reminds you of sitting at home with your parents laughing at the oldies. Or it reminds you of the first 45 years of television - you know it's a situation comedy because the acting is broad, the punch lines telegraphed, the choreography of the characters (like the wacky neighbor) duplicated from show to show. You want something fresher.
The problem with sophisticated comedy - be it anti-obvious in nature, keenly observed absurdities or ironically dumb by choice - is that it creates its own little laugh ghetto from which you never get out. You don't want to watch "Two and a Half Men" because, well, it's "Two and a Half Men" with Charlie Sheen, for God's sake. What more need be said?
And yet, there's a smugness - almost a righteousness - to people who can only tolerate "30 Rock" or "Weeds" and sit around lamenting the death of "Arrested Development." Hey, it takes one to know one.
It's true that CBS is awash in laugh tracks and anyone unfortunate enough to end up in hell will find pretty much the same sound there. And that tired sitcom pacing - setup, punch line, setup punch line, big bang before the commercial break - is enough to make you really do damage to a free-standing TV set. But it's also true that funny is funny. It answers to no specific genre or network. From Milton Berle to "Flight of the Conchords," if you laugh, then it's funny. It worked.
You may not have wanted to laugh. You might have tried to stifle it. Perhaps you managed to turn what would normally be a loud laugh into a grunt-and-grin. But funny is funny and it cannot be dismissed merely because you don't like the channel.
Mea culpa
Now, having said all of that - and vastly preferring, ahem, non-CBS style humor - it could very well be that the Monday block of comedies on CBS are getting a bad rap. That bad rap may have originated right here, as a matter of fact.
But upon the appearance tonight of the dubiously titled "post-strike, second-season premiere" of CBS' "The Rules of Engagement," perhaps now is the time for a modification, if not a complete re-evaluation (because that's not forthcoming - let's walk before we run here).
At 8 p.m., CBS kicks off with "The Big Bang Theory," from creator Chuck Lorre, who also brings you "Two and a Half Men." There's a mechanical-hammer streak to Lorre's work, but when he gets a formula right, it generally sticks. Now, initially, the biggest drawback to "The Big Bang Theory" is that the premise is so trite. Super nerds intersect with hot, dumb blond neighbor. Nothing says 1970s more than that, unless they lived next to "The Jeffersons." And yet, despite the clanking obviousness of having a band of super nerds play their smarts against their social phobias and lameness, there's a lot to recommend here because the series is a shotgun blast of jokes and enough of the pellets are funny enough to make 22 minutes go by smoothly. Even better, main actors Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons truly work hard for the humor, as the punch lines are intricately tied to fast-talking Einsteinian moments. It's as rote as "Frasier," but when all the cylinders are clicking - as they often did with "Frasier" - this sitcom delivers.
Doogie delivers
"How I Met Your Mother" is by far CBS' hippest comedy if that word can be applied in the same sentence as the Tiffany Network's call letters. It successfully works romantic comedy with cynical comedy and fuses likable young actors into a well-worn vehicle: four friends coming of age. Although the obvious key to the series is the breakout performance of Neil Patrick Harris as the cad Barney - the pursuit of emotionless sex drives him to ever-lower levels of jerkishness - the truth is that "Mother" is riddled with quick wit and smart (and sometimes sweet) humor. Though it took a cameo from Britney Spears to get the show much ink, it's an underappreciated gem.
"Two and a Half Men" might argue, however, that it's the real scapegoat for CBS old-school comedy disdain. It gets Emmy nominations and critics scoff. Hell, it lives and critics scoff. Though the show is too in love with cheap sex jokes, it's reminiscent of "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "King of Queens" before it - series some comedy fans wouldn't watch with financial incentives but ones still able to hit the periodic punch line that even grumpy satirists would grudgingly laugh at.
That Warburton voice
"The Rules of Engagement" is one of those formulas so old, they can't catalog the bones (married couple, engaged couple, single friend - the stages of love and emotional growth). It can't be said that the writers are infusing the conceit with much originality, but the key to the show is Patrick Warburton, who plays the married man here.
Not only does Warburton get - and nail - all the best lines, he's strangely evocative of "The Tick," the old Fox series where he played the title character. It could be that Warburton just plays Warburton (from Puddy on "Seinfeld" to his many voice roles), but if you just imagine that the Tick lost his blue suit and ended up in a CBS sitcom, "Rules of Engagement" really takes off (at least when he's onscreen).
Granted, all of these shows have some kind of caveat, or appear here with a slew of backhanded compliments. But they all, in some part, are funnier than people give them credit for (particularly "How I Met Your Mother") and deserve more respect. And no, a laugh track didn't just drown out that last sentence.

What a drop-down website menu says about China's increasing power
Airlines across the world are changing their sites to appease China
It's such a common sight on the web you might not think twice about the little drop-down menu that allows you to select a country. But this small element is at the heart of a dispute between China and the West -- leaving some major companies caught in the crossfire.
American Airlines has become the latest airline to change how its website refers to Taiwan -- a move that other airlines are expected to follow before a final deadline imposed by Beijing of July 25.
It's in response to demands from China's Civil Aviation Authority, which contacted foreign airlines to say they should refer to the self-ruled, democratic island as Chinese territory. (They were also told to ensure that Hong Kong and Macau were listed as part of China.)
Until last month, Delta and American were among the few airlines to resist the demand, and continue calling Taiwan a country.
In recent months, a host of others have made the change, including Qantas, Japan Airlines, Air France, Air Canada, British Airways and Lufthansa.
While the move -- which for most involves changing their websites from "Taiwan" to "Taiwan, China" -- might not seem like a big deal, it actually represents a big win for Beijing in its bid to assert its claim to Taiwan. It also shows the increasing role technology -- in this case, something as simple as names in a web form -- plays in the world of high stakes diplomacy.
Taiwan reacted negatively, tweeting that the pressure from China was "an affront to rules-based order."
But not all airlines have applied the change in the same way: Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, for example, have opted to list destinations by city and airport. (Prada and Airbnb avoid the issue by using maps instead of lists to define countries.)
The decision by American Airlines could be interpreted as a loss for Washington, who had argued the move was "Orwellian nonsense" -- but it appears the risk of angering Beijing and potentially flying fewer Chinese travellers proved too much.
It's also not the first time Beijing has sought to pressure private companies.
Hotel chain Marriott faced similar pressure after its website listed Tibet and Taiwan as separate countries, while an employee "liked" a tweet supporting Tibetan independence. In response, Beijing blocked Marriott's website and app for a week inside China.

The Great Britain and Northern Ireland team finished ahead of Europe and USA to land top spot in the International Challenge at the Bupa Great Edinburgh XCountry. The event, which took place in muddy conditions in Holyrood Park, saw Gemma Steel and Andy Vernon securing first and second positions in their respective distances.
Sitting in third position behind Europe and USA before the final race of the day, GB moved into first place after a series of impressive performances. GB finished the day on 159 points, with Europe second (172) and USA in third position (203).
With the standings finely balanced, the senior women's team tipped the initiative to GB & NI as captain Gemma Steel took victory over the 6k distance in 20:35, denying second placed Fionnuala Britton (20:44) a third successive victory at the event. Emelia Gorecka capped off a fine international debut by taking third place in a time of 20:51, with Charlotte Purdue fifth (20:59) and Lily Partridge (seventh), Steph Twell (ninth) and Chloe Richardson (tenth) all securing top positions.
Steel was delighted to have improved on her sixth place finish in Antrim last weekend, commenting: I felt comfortable and in control and it was a good way to do it. Nobody wanted to take the race on because it was really blustery. I'm pleased Emelia stayed with me, even on her senior debut, and we helped each other out and worked together. It was great that the senior women could take care of business at the end and get the overall team victory."
In the senior men's event (8km), the USA's Chris Derrick secured top billing with a time of 24:11; 10 seconds ahead of GB men's captain Andy Vernon who took second place. The next British athlete over the line was Kilbarchan's Callum Hawkins in 6th, while Jonny Hay also secured a top 10 spot.
In the earlier race, Kenenisa Bekele was unable to follow up victory at last year's Great North Run as the USA's Garrett Heath won the 4k competition in a time of 11:51. The American, winner of last September's Great North Mile, outsprinted Ethopia's Meresa Kahsay (11:52) at the finish line, with Bekele taking 5th (12:02). Chris Thompson was the top placed British runner over 4k in 6th place.

Remote Support
Virtual Team Members Deserve the Same Attention as Ones in the Office
There's a gap for remote workers. I discovered it during a recent business process outsourcing implementation project I managed. Although more than 70 percent of the employees worked from home, none were managers, supervisors or team leaders. While the organization said it championed flexible working options, it seldom promoted remote workers—meaning the benefits of remote working to both the company and the employees were limited. Remote workers at other organizations report frustrations with outdated technology, isolation and lack of organizational support.

Electoral Confusion - Iraqi Style
There are also claims that up to $4 million of counterfeit US currency was used in the run up to the election. The finger is pointed at Iran, with the money being seen as being used to aid the Islamic Supreme Conference and the Sadrists who (in competition with Prime Minister Maliki) combined to take 70 seats from the votes they obtained in mainly Shia territory.

Harry: Did you know that the US and UK allowed Iraqi prisoners to vote as it helps democracy?
Given that both States deny their own prisoners the vote only shows hypocrisy!

Jailhouselawyer : A recent report by the Electoral Commission shows that the USA only have 68% of those entitled to vote on the register - without taking into account others who should be entitled. There was late registration until 20 April for our General Election here. But it looks as if some 3 million of those entitled to be registered are missing. Electoral Reform is likely to be on the agenda after the General Election in the shape of fancy franchises. But that will give scope to press for both a fuller and fairer franchise. When the results are in I will look out for MPs from different parties who can be approached on these matters.

Hello TAY, how's everyone doing on this lovely Monday? This morning I woke up to a lot of ruckus inside my house. It was crazy, a huge vibration coming off the AC furnace shook the whole house. I had to get off the bed and run to shut the whole thing off before something really bad happened, so once again we are without AC as the summer looms closer and closer...
In other news, I think I will stop my "Hype for Splatoon" ongoing joke, it started as something silly and then it grew out of proportion, you know, like real hype.

Testing Multiple Versions of Ruby
When you have code that you would like to test, it is fairly simple to develop your tests to allow for it to be ran in more than one version of Ruby.
This is part of the code that I use through inspiration from the Ruby Spec project. I haven't checked the code, so I don't believe it is identical in functionality.
The helper.rb file is loaded with my helper file in my testing folder.
1 2 3 4 5
This allows me to do the identical thing you saw on line 63 of that link above. In other words, I can use it with a block and it just does the right thing.
Or I can use it like a query, and it will either return true or nil.
This makes it simple for me to have tests that are version specific, yet won't fill my tests with failures just because of a version difference.
It also lets me search for those things that are specific to a version.
Ruby 2.0.0-p0 is out, and I used it to document the new to_h functionality
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
Now I can run this test alongside others, and I don't have to worry about what version of Ruby it is testing against.
I think that I will add some functionality though. So I can specify a minimum version of Ruby, and when 3.0.0 comes out, I will know what things change based on the tests, because they will run against that version as well, while not running against previous ones.
Anyway, how do you test against different versions of Ruby?

Indian man gets 6-month jail time for molesting sleeping woman on flight
An Indian national is to spend six months in jail after molesting a sleeping woman on a Singapore Airlines flight.
The man was identified as Ravichandran Vignesh, a pet shop owner in India. He had been on a flight from Bengalru, India, bound for Bali, Indonesia, with transit stop in Singapore.
Vignesh had been seated beside a 31-year-old woman who occupied the window seat. The woman woke up at around 4 a.m. during the flight due to the sensation of someone touching and pressing her right breast, as reported by The Independent.
Upon waking, the woman saw Vignesh's hand on her breast and shouted in outrage. This surprised Vignesh, who quickly pulled back his hand and pretended to be asleep.
The woman immediately requested to be transferred to a different seat, which was granted and she was moved to an empty seat in the back.
Upon landing in Singapore, the woman made a report through the airline's online feedback form. She also emailed a copy to the deputy commander of the Airport Police Division, which in turn created a police report the next day.
The reports helped authorities to track down Vignesh's whereabouts and on Oct. 4 detained him on his return flight to India, which also stopped over in Singapore.
Vignesh pleaded guilty, but also attempted to reason out his actions. He said through an interpreter that it was his first time flying and had no knowledge of Singapore's laws. He claimed to have never done such an act back in India and begged to be allowed to go home.
He also said he was "drunk and high and tempted" as reported by The Online Citizen.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Amanda Han said Vignesh committed the molestation in a "confined space" where the victim had no escape. She recommended a six-month jail time.
Perhaps due to the shock of the overall experience Vignesh vowed, "I will not touch any woman again. I will not travel overseas again. I will not come back to Singapore again." Alfred Bayle /ra
