Cryptocurrency Email List
Cryptocurrency: An Overview
There was once a time when Cryptocurrency was seen as just a digital novelty. Have you heard of Bitcoin? Of course you have. But chances are, you probably scoffed when it first hit the market. After all, it's a digital currency, made up of nothing but code. What could it possibly be worth?
But did you know a single Bitcoin in the US was worth $120 in September 2013? And did you know it peaked at $17,060 a sale in December 2017, making everybody lucky enough to have so little into a millionaire almost overnight? After all, a 14,216% return on investment is something even the best investors in the world can't boast. Now imagine having some US marking lead lists at your disposal...
How can digital currency help you?
Bitcoin. Litecoin. Ethereum. Ripple. There's dozens of them out there, and they bring a plethora of benefits to the market.
- Immediate payments. It cuts out the middle man in business and property transactions. Lawyers. Solicitors, and other expensive services become almost redundant.
- Better safety. No more providing credit information to merchants. Being a digital currency, boiling down to zeroes and ones, it can push the exact amount needed onto a recipient without needing to hold any further information.
- Free from legislation. It's not bound by the authorities of exchange rates and surcharges, or even international sanctions. From any country to any other country, it makes transactions easy, and holds proportional value.

8 Ways Pets Relieve Stress
If you own a dog or a cat, you probably don't need scientific studies to tell you what you already know: your pet makes you feel better. She gives you unconditional love, after all. She seems to know what you're feeling, and mirrors those feelings back to you. She can make you laugh, and she can make you cry. All of those feelings—love, sharing, empathy, and more—pick you up when you're feeling down and they make you feel less stressed. That's common wisdom and it makes common sense—but does science having anything to add on the subject?
Two Seminal Studies Show Pets Increase Confidence and Lower Stress
Two relevant 2012 studies, each published in the Journal of Research in Personality (and reported in Scientific American), examined the impact pets have on human emotions. In the first, participants were divided into three groups. One group had a pet close by, the second was asked to think about a pet, and for the third, pets weren't involved at all. They were then told to list their goals and how confident they were in achieving them. The first two groups came up with a longer list of goals, and were significantly more confident they could achieve them.
In the second experiment, researchers divided participants into the same three groups, but this time asked them to perform a stressful task and monitored changes in their blood pressure. Those who had pets nearby or were thinking of pets had markedly lower blood pressure. The takeaway? Having pets close to you, or even just thinking about your pets, has the effect of lowering stress.
Are There Other Ways Pets Relieve Stress?
Dr. Alan M. Beck is the Director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. He has spent the lion's share of his career studying the nuances of human-animal relationships, and he has a lot to say about the ways our pets relieve stress. According to Beck, pets relieve stress in 8 specific ways:
- They lower blood pressure: Dr. Beck's research confirms the results of the two studies cited above. He has found that petting a dog or cat, or even simply being in their presence or looking at them, can be positively correlated with a drop in blood pressure.
- They increase cardiovascular health: Dr. Beck points to a comprehensive review of scientific data on pets and cardiovascular response published in Current Directions in Psychological Science. Those several studies, viewed in the aggregate, indicated that pets have a positive impact on heart health.
- They inspire us to exercise more frequently: Studies have shown that pet owners, on average, get more exercise, and that helps reduce both stress and depression. This is more the case with dog owners, who walk their dogs and play with them outside, but cat owners also get additional exercise from daily play with their pets.
- They make us feel less lonely: As humans are social beings, loneliness is a common source of stress. Our pets provide companionship, which not only decreases loneliness, but also—according to Beck—encourages friendlier interactions with other people, further reducing stress.
- They help us live in the moment: As Dr. Beck notes, "Stress really is bemoaning the past and worrying about the future."
Pets reduce the tendency to focus on past mistakes or worry about future problems. TWEET THISAccording to Beck, something as simple as a game of fetch with your dog can keep you tethered to the present moment, reducing the stress associated with past and future.
- They fulfill our need for touch: Psychologists have long understood the importance of touch to psychological health. A recent article in Psychology Today, for example, notes that physical touch decreases violence, builds trust, boosts the immune system, and reduces stress. All pet owners reap the benefits of touch, but it's especially important for the increasing number of those who live alone.
- They increase feelings of self-esteem: A recent study from researchers at Miami University and Saint Louis University found that pet owners had better self-esteem than non-pet owners. They also were less fearful and less preoccupied, all of which contributed to a decrease in overall stress levels.
- They make us laugh: According to the Mayo Clinic, laughter relieves our stress response and reduces tension. If you own a dog or a cat, chances are you spend a good deal of time laughing, and that's good for your health.
Your pet, whether it's a dog or a cat (or a bird, iguana or rabbit), gives you a lot every day. The health benefits, such as stress reduction, are reason enough for you to want the very best for them, including their own health, happiness, and well-being.
At South Boston Animal Hospital, we see the positive effects pets have on the lives of their owners every day. This is just one of the reasons we care as much about your pets as you do, and make it our mission to do everything possible to ensure that they stay healthy throughout their lives.

VET Systems and New Skills
This paper reports on a Centre for the Economics of Education and Training (CEET) project that explored policies, programs and other initiatives by Australia's states and territories to support innovation, and to build VET capability to respond to its effects on skill needs. The project was undertaken in late 2003-early 2004.
The project examined the range of initiatives adopted by the states and territories, their rationales and objectives, funding and major features. Similarities and differences between the approaches and the various emphases being given to different aspects of VET, to types of skills and innovation and to VET-industry relationships are highlighted as well as best practice approaches.

[ Background of the Sport | Equipment | Where ]
Ice skating is a graceful and beautiful winter sport that originally took place on frozen lakes and ponds, though nowadays is done year-round. Variations of ice skating include: short and long-track speed skating, pairs and individuals figure skating, and ice dancing.
Figure skating competition is comprised of singles, pair and ice dance disciplines.
Singles and pair skaters perform a short and free skating program. The short program is 2 minutes and 40 seconds in length, includes eight prescribed elements, and no additional or non-required elements are allowed and judges deduct points for missing or imperfect required elements. In pairs skating, although the partners may not always perform the same movements, they must always give the impression of unity. The short program is worth 33.3% of the total mark. The free skating program (or long program) includes a combination of jumps, spins, steps and linking movements, plus lifts in pairs skating. Skaters are judged on technical skills and presentation, with separate scores from the judge for each. The free program is 4 minutes and 30 seconds for pairs and men's singles, and 4 minutes for ladies' singles, and accounts for 66.6% of the mark.
The ice dancing competition is made up of three parts: compulsory dances, original dance and free dance. It is distinguished from pair skating by the absence of jumps and lifts above the shoulder. Two compulsory dances selected by the International Skating Union (ISU) are skated and are each worth 10% of the total mark. Compulsory dances are judged on Technique and Timing/Expression. The original dance is skated to a specific rhythm and tempo selected by the ISU each year. The original dance is marked on Composition and Presentation and is worth 30% of the total mark. The free dance consists of creative dance moves and steps to ballroom music of the skaters' choice. Music must include a rhythmic beat and a melody. The free dance is 4 minutes long and is marked on Technical Merit and Presentation.
Recreational skating does not require special skates. Just lace up hockey or figure skates and skate around a frozen pond, lake or ice rink. Ice skating is both relaxing and good cardio-vascular exercise.
For figure skating or ice dancing you need a pair of quality figure skates, which have good support with comfort and high-quality steel blades (they need to last through frequent sharpenings).
Skates are often available new or used, either through sports shops or through the newspaper. You may find it's easier locating men's hockey or women's figure skates than speed skates.
See a complete listing of Ottawa Ice Rinks and Arenas. Most indoor city and community ice rinks are associated with a skating club. To get involved, contact your community ice rink for more information.
Figure skating exhibitions regularly come through town (contact TicketMaster).
For a recreational skate, go to any arenas or rinks. In the winter, head down to the Rideau Canal, the longest ice rink in the world.
Thre are two speedskating facilities in the ottawa area; one at Brewer Park Skating Oval off Bronson St, Ottawa (613) 595-7175, and one in the wintertime at Lac Beauchamp in Gatineau, Quebec. If you want to begin speedskating, contact the Ottawa Pacers Speed Skating Club (Ted Huffman, President, 728-3789), Gloucester Concordes Speedskating Club, Orleans, (613)824-2522

What Are ERC-20 Tokens? An Explanation for Beginners
Ethereum project is known as a front-line player of the cryptocurrency world. As you know, Ethereum is a decentralized computer network that has two main functions: blockchain to record transactions and virtual mechanism to produce smart contracts. Due to these functions, Ethereum allows users to create decentralized applications. Users have an opportunity to build their apps on the basis of the Ethereum blockchain, while providing their computing powers in turn. These powers support proper functioning of the entire network.
Applications create ERC20 tokens, which function as a digital currency, points in various loyalty programs, and proofs of ownership. Also, ERC-20 tokens can be exchanged for digital coins/other tokens or stored into a personal wallet.
How does ERC-20 work?
When a smart contract creates token, the ERC-20 enters the stage. Tokens can be used for trading, transferring or buying goods, while ERC-20 is a protocol or a so-called token language, used particularly within the Ethereum network.
For instance, let's say we have decided to create an online casino that uses cryptocurrency. When playing casino, users must have chips to make the game simple and clear. If a player wants to take part in game, he changes fiat money for tokens, which replace chips.
With this casino analogy, it becomes clear that Ethereum tokens represent value of something else. They might represent physical or real-life objects like goods/services, fiat money, as well as financial instruments such as stocks. Tokens' functions and properties are variable and depend on tasks assigned to them. Some developers use them as decentralized governance over the network or a payment access to a resource, but tokens support many other possibilities.
In the cryptocurrency community, tokens are widely used as an asset to be changed for BTC, ETH or any other coin. In most cases, they have a fixed supply, rate of inflation and all traits other currencies have.
ERC-20 tokens have the same parameters as the Ethereum tokens and guarantee interoperability between them. To comply with ERC-20, developers are expected to incorporate the concrete set of features into a smart contract to be able to fulfill the following functions:
- Transfer tokens
- Get the total supply
- Obtain the account balance
- Approve spending
ERC-20 allows interaction with other contracts and apps within the Ethereum blockchain.
How do ERC-20 tokens differ from cryptocurrency?
Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, ERC-20 tokens are tied to the Ethereum network and are transferred by means of the Ethereum transactions. These transactions can be traced within the Ethereum blockchain. It means that ERC-20 tokens are not completely independent and rely on the computing powers distributed by the Ethereum blockchain.
Main ERC-20 characteristics
ERC-20 offers 6 basic and 3 optional parameters for smart contracts. The most important functions that explain ERC-20's functionality are the following:
- TotalSupply function regulates the general release of tokens;
- Balance0f function determines an initial amount of tokens assigned to a specific address;
- TransferFrom function ensures proper transactions of tokens;
- Approve function verifies whether a smart contract can distribute tokens in accordance with total emission;
- Allowance function verifies whether a certain address have a sufficient balance to send tokens to another address.
These parameters allow exchange services and wallet providers to create a single code base, which interacts with any ERC-20 smart contract.
Problems connected with ERC-20 tokens
ERC-20 is just a protocol and a basis for Ethereum tokens, which is not fully sufficient for all purposes. Due to this fact, there are no guarantees that tokens created on the ERC-20 basis are always useful or valuable. Tokens can be supplemented, while maintaining compatibility with the ERC-20 standard. The main problem with ERC-20 is that it makes tokens trivial on the technical level. As a result, a huge number of similar tokens appear. Therefore, users find it difficult to choose a perspective investment option.
Also, there are projects that implement the basic ERC-20 principles in a strange way, which creates additional complexities and confusions among those who want to operate these tokens. Some smart contracts don't support specific ERC-20 functions and these tokens simply disappear. By the end of 2017, about $3 million were lost this way.
To sum up, ERC-20 made the token development simple, which accelerated interest and growth in the cryptocurrency space and far beyond it. Thus, ERC-20 improved the cooperation between exchanges, wallets and other cryptocurrency-related projects. We believe that ERC-20 will be improved and expanded in the nearest future.

ramblings about textile art and anything else relevant or not - Dale Rollerson is a textile artist - writer - teacher and passionate owner of The Thread Studio
Monday, August 23, 2010
Monday mutterings
The intrigues of the election continue to dominate the scene and fill the newspapers but we have also enjoyed reading about the All Black win and have to admit that we popped down to Grant's yesterday afternoon and watched it all over again and thoroughly enjoyed the 2 tries at the end second time around. It's easy when you know the result.
The day seems to have flown by with all the usual jobs to do - nothing like packaging Angelina and putting everything away and then someone phoning for more particularly when you haven't packaged extras of those ones. One day I will get on top of it all again. I seem to package 100s and 100s and have it everywhere and then voila - it has all gone. We are waiting on a new shipment - bit like waiting for grass to grow.
I am getting through all my writings and tomorrow hope to spend most of the day in the studio - then I will tell you about our little treat coming up. Exciting times and we also heard today that the Versa Createx Tools are on the high seas so will be here earlier than we thought. I am on the prowl for mylar to cut my stencils.

Enlivened suggestions to take action
Invitations to take action are a vital underhandedness in web architecture. The reality remains that your buyers won't realize what to do except if you unequivocally let them know. Many. Many. Times.
In any case, basically guiding your shoppers Mississauga Website Design isn't any longer, either. They're seeing improvements and guidelines from all edges of the web, so you need a bit of a bonus to enable your objective to stick out.
Adding a little activity to your significant activity things may be only the ticket. Regardless of whether it's a small scale smaller than normal association, (for example, "loving" a Facebook post and seeing the numerous response activitys) or a basic impact to get clients' eyes, shoppers are bound to execute the activity you're pushing when the source of inspiration catches their eye and gives affirmation of culmination.
Need some motivation? Airbnb utilizes its activity application, Lottie, to consolidate inconspicuous illustrations movements on its invitations to take action all through its site and application structures.
Custom typography
Each site needs message, yet the times of exhausting Times New Roman, Arial or some other essential stock text style have since a long time ago passed. Rather, take your message to the following level with one of a kind typography that includes your image personality while at the same time imparting to clients.
This one of a kind typography can take numerous shapes (truly) or be found in various regions of your structure. A few brands may use this in their logo plan, while different organizations (like mine) will sprinkle custom text style all through the whole structure to attract consideration regarding significant substance, similar to this bulletin information exchange source of inspiration (underneath). At last, the decision in how and where you use this pattern is up to you.

May's on the shelf was a huge bust, I got some new books – I got overly enthusiastic about my ability to read. I mean…. yes, I know how to read. My free time is a huge joke though. Between the two kids, the dogs, the house work, the yard work, and everything else – reading gets put on the back burner. Sorry guys! So what's the TBR for July look like?! Well simple. May – but shorter with an extra book tossed in.
Books I Actually finished and have reviews pending:
When Never Comes
As a teenage runaway and child of an addict, Christy-Lynn learned the hard way that no address was permanent, and no promise sacred. For a while, she found a safe haven in her marriage to bestselling crime novelist Stephen Ludlow—until his car skidded into Echo Bay. But Stephen's wasn't the only body pulled from the icy waters that night. When details about a mysterious violet-eyed blonde become public, a media circus ensues, and Christy-Lynn runs again.
Desperate for answers, she's shattered to learn that Stephen and his mistress had a child—a little girl named Iris, who now lives in poverty with her ailing great-grandmother. The thought of Iris abandoned to the foster care system—as Christy-Lynn once was—is unbearable. But she's spent her whole life running—determined never to be hurt again. Will she finally stand still long enough to open herself up to forgiveness and love?
Books I am Currently Reading:
Baby Teeth
Sweetness can be deceptive.
Meet Hanna.
She's the sweet-but-silent angel in the adoring eyes of her Daddy. He's the only person who understands her, and all Hanna wants is to live happily ever after with him. But Mommy stands in her way, and she'll try any trick she can think of to get rid of her. Ideally for good.
Meet Suzette.
She loves her daughter, really, but after years of expulsions and strained home schooling, her precarious health and sanity are weakening day by day. As Hanna's tricks become increasingly sophisticated, and Suzette's husband remains blind to the failing family dynamics, Suzette starts to fear that there's something seriously wrong, and that maybe home isn't the best place for their baby girl after all.
Books I Plan on ATTEMPTING to Read:
Crimson Lake
How do you move on when the world won't let you?
12:46: Claire Bingleystands alone at a bus stop
12:47: Ted Conkaffey parks his car beside her
12:52: The girl is missing . . .
Six minutes in the wrong place at the wrong time—that's all it took to ruin Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey's life. Accused but not convicted of a brutal abduction, Ted is now a free man—and public enemy number one. Maintaining his innocence, he flees north to keep a low profile amidst the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.
There, Ted's lawyer introduces him to eccentric private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer. Not entirely convinced Amanda is a cold-blooded killer, Ted agrees to help with her investigation, a case full of deception and obsession, while secretly digging into her troubled past. The residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair's every move . . . and the town offers no place to hide.
"Complex, human characters, and a dark, meaty story, and fine writing, and a great sense of place – this is one of the best crime thrillers of the year. Sign me up as a big-time Fox fan!" —Lee Child
Crimson Lake by Sydney-based, Ned Kelly award-winning author Candice Fox is a thrilling contemporary crime novel set in Queensland, Australia, perfect for readers of authors like James Patterson, Harlan Coben, Lisa Gardner, and Tana French.
She's old enough to be his mother.
Alice has always looked young for her age, even with her graying hair and her dowdy New Jersey housewife style. Make that ex-housewife: Now that her husband's gone and her daughter is grown, Alice is in desperate need of a whole new life. So she lets her best friend Maggie, a hip New York City artist, transform her on New Year's Eve. Soon, thanks to the wonders of hair dye and tight jeans, Alice looks really young, as one night in a Manhattan bar confirms. At midnight, she kisses a boy who was in diapers when she was in high school.
She's having too much fun to care.
The white lie Alice tells Josh gets her thinking that if no one asks her age, she doesn't have to tell. So she applies for a job she had briefly before becoming a full-time mom—and gets it. Meanwhile, Josh is falling head over heels for Alice, who's just way cooler than girls his age. He figures she's about twenty-nine—and for the first time since she was twenty-nine, or possibly ever, Alice feels that life is ripe with possibility. Unfortunately one possibility is that she's gonna get caught.
Challenging the adage that the truth will set you free, Younger is a hilarious and insightful story that proves that you're only as young as you feel.
Over all I have already started two of the five and I am super excited about the other three. Not going to say that I am for sure going to read them all, but this is the first time in a while that I made my list based on me and not what everyone else wanted me to read.

Standard Sizes Jackets and Pant
I believe the "Junior and "Starter" line of clothing are the best off the shelf clothing available.
Monard's entry-level "Starter" and "Junior" range of jackets and pants are ideal for newcomers to the sport and small shooting athletes (Juniors). These clothing items are perfect and affordable options for rifle clubs. The jackets are made of a strong durable double canvas, and are cut anatomically to optimize support for the shooter. These jackets have have stretch inserts in all the right places for the best possible comfort. The jacket is equipped with a sling holder, shoulder strap, a pocket and clips to attach start(bib) number .
The trousers(pants) have a Velcro closure on the left front part (for a right handed shooter). On the back of each leg, there is a two-way zipper, which can be opened from top or bottom for moving around and flexibility between positions..
These items are available in a wide range of standard sizes. Twenty nine (29) adult and eight (8) junior sizes are available.

See the International Space Station in the night sky
When I was young I loved watching satellites go over at night. Seeing one was quite a hit and miss affair as there was no way to know when one would be coming. Usually they were only spotted on the trek back and forth from the outside toilet. All that has changed as there is now far more to see, good sites on the internet to provide details of when and where they will be visible at your location and there is also absolutely stunning apps for phones and tablets to help.
When I discovered how easy itcould be to see the ISS (International Space Station) I knew I had to give it a try.
The ISS is larger than I initially thought. According to Wikipedia it weighs a hefty 450 000kg and measures 72m wide, 108m long and 20m high. It orbits the earth every 92 minutes travelling over 27 000 km/h at a height of around 400 km.
So what do you actually see? Well, unfortunately you won't see an astronaut waving at the window. What you will see is the sun reflecting off it causing a flare. At its best it looks like a very bright star in fact it can be over twice as bright as Sirius the brightest star. It moves quite fast and usually disappears within a couple of minutes.
Online information
If you want to give it a try, a site that I have found useful is Heavens Above. It not only tracks the ISS, but it also tracks other satellites that produce visible flares, planets and comets.
Start by selecting your location from a map, from a database of locations or enter your coordinates manually. Next look in the Satellites section and click on the ISS link to get the next 10 day forecasts. From there you can look up the next 10 days and so on. The table will show when the next passes and where in the sky it will come up and go down. The brightness is measured in mag and the smaller number the brighter, so -2 is much brighter than 2. While you're at the site you may want to check out the Iridium flares for the next 24 hours. The Iridium communication satellites often cause bright flares, sometimes much brighter than the ISS, that's what I'm going to be looking for next.
You don't need a mobile device with an app, but it can help by showing you in real time where the ISS is. There are some great apps for both phones and tablets. The apps at the bottom of the post are just those that I have tried. All of them use the built-in 3D compass in your device to detect where it is pointing. Simply hold your device up towards the sky and you'll see what's up there on the screen. As you move your device around it will constantly update what you are pointing at with what is there. If you have not seen one of these apps in action your may be forgiven for doubting how well this could work, but I assure you it's good and these apps are really really cool. I use the Night Sky for iOS to track the ISS.
Looking at the sky
Armed with the time of the next visible pass I wait until about 15 minutes before it is due to be visible. Then I open the Night Sky and follow it there. Here it is coming over Indonesia.
When it gets closer I switch to the sky view. In this shot I am aiming my iPad NE towards the horizon. The ISS is just below the horizon and heading up.
Five minutes after this we saw the ISS above the horizon. It got brighter the higher it went before finally disappearing into the Earth's shadow.
Want to see a picture?
I intended to include a photo of the ISS pass. I spent a lot of time learning how to set my camera for the best shot. I did some test shots of stars beforehand. The small screen on my camera does not show the stars as they are not bright enough so I had to guess where the camera was pointing. The test photos came out alright. I set it up on the tripod and on the night I headed out into the darkness without using any light to protect my night vision. I did a series of shots, but, and I'm embarrassed to say this… I left the lens cap on. I'll have another go and post the results up in another post.
More about apps
Below is a list of apps I have used and found useful for astronomy, but they don't all show satellites. Remember, all of these use the built-in 3D compass in your device to detect where it is pointing.
Google Sky Map (Android)
This is the first star and sky map that I used and I installed it on my cheap LG Optimus One P500 phone. The app is produced by Google and it's free. It shows stars and planets but not satellites. If you have an Android it's a great way to see how these apps work for free.
Satellite AR (Android)
This app displays the location of satellites. It's free which makes it worth a look. It does not seem to display the location of the ISS until it within 10 minutes of coming into view.
Star Chart (Android, iPhone & iPad)
The iOS and android app publishers have different names but the name and descriptions of the apps look the same so I don't know if they are the same or not. I use the iOS version on my iPad. It shows stars and planets, but not satellites. It's not free either, it cost me A$2.99, but it is currently on special at A$0.99. So why have I included it? Because on my iPad 3 it is smooth and the display is simply gorgeous. Have a look at this image.
Sample Star chart screenshot. Click to see it full size.
The Night Sky (Android, iPhone & iPad)
I got this for my iPad on sale for just A$0.99. There is an upgrade option to get more information about objects, but you will not need it to track the ISS. There are two viewing options. The first is the usual point at the sky and view and the other is a map of the world showing the satellites position in real time so you can see where on earth the ISS is currently over. This is the best app I have found for the iPad to locate the ISS. It is also available for Android and I have tried the free lite version on my Android phone, but I could not get the satellites to display of it, so perhaps it is just the paid version that has that feature. One feature this app has that I have not found on other ones is that it plays some really neat spacey music while it is running. Standing outside in the dark with the stars with the music playing it feels like I'm about to be visited by an extraterrestrial.
Is it worth it?
If you've got access to an area where you get a good view of the sky without too much light pollution it's definitely worth it. All our family enjoyed it. It's something for the bucket list for any nerd.
Computers: The 1990's – You paid how much?
Recently I found a couple of old catalogues in our filing cabinet that I had kept for some unknown reason. I was looking at the prices of computers and was reminded what an expensive hobby it used to be. The catalogue was from July 1996. There were 14 desktop computers ranging from A$2999 to A$4099 with an average price of a whopping A$3412. The $4099 one was described as "Unprecedented power & storage for small business and accounting needs". Its specs were:
- 100MHz Processor
- 1.2Gb HD
- 12Mb RAM
- 15" Monitor
- MYOB software
It's hard to believe that was enough power for a business, but I remember using something similar at the time where I worked and it seemed fine for what we did.
There is also seven laptops listed ranging from A$2999 to A$4699 with an average price of A$3541. For $4699 you could have:
- 75MHz Pentium processor
- 8Mb RAM
- 9.5" Active Matrix TFT display
- Removable 810Mb HD
- Lithium-Ion battery,
- BitBLT Video Accelerator
- Windows 95
I don't think that these prices were particularly high for that time, not around here anyway. At that time the Australian dollar was valued much lower than the US dollar which accounts for some of the price difference we now have. According to the RBA Inflation calculator that calculates increases of "baskets of goods and services", that average price of $3541 back in 2006 would now (or at least in 2011) be an incredible $5,274
Examples of my excessive spending
Here are some of the things that I purchased around that time:
- Microsoft Office, purchased in July 94. This was version 4.3 and came out for windows 3.1? Fortunately it also worked with Windows 95. I got a discount because it was an upgrade from Works. Price: A$525
- Diamond CD reader and software kit. Purchased in March 95, this kit had a 4x CD reader (not writer) and a few games and other software including Compton's Encyclopaedia. Price: A$799
- 8Mb RAM, yes that's correct 8Mb, not 8Gb. August 94. Price: A$620
- B&W desktop Laser Printer. July 94. Price A$1000. It was ok, but not as good as my current laser printer which were selling recently for $49.
Other than making me feel sick at the thought of having wasted so much money, I can at least take comfort that computing is more affordable now.
Redundant faster?
Back in those days second hand items were expensive too. I don't know if it is my imagination, but there seemed to be a bigger performance difference between new computers then and those 12 months older, and not just for intensive software like games, but even for basic things such as word processing. Because people paid so much for new equipment many expected to sell them for a high price a year or two later, often asking as much as an equivalent new one with the same specs.
I bought a second hand tower in 1994 that had 386SX CPU, 4Mb RAM, 80Mb hard drive, 14" Monitor for $1500. That price was typical around here. Now I would have to pay our local recycling centre to accept it. It did come with a large solid case which had lots of room for expansion, but I never made use of it as extra bits cost so much. It had flip out feet on the bottom that I had to remove just to make it fit under my desk.
It's not just that hardware is cheaper. A lot of software is cheaper or free too. I remember being quite excited when I purchased Cinemania on CD. Now IMDb contains everything and more that I want to know about movies and is available online. The quality of software that I paid $70 or $80 was no better than those that are available online for free now.
We now pay for the internet
I do now have an ongoing internet access cost that I did not have. I have been paying more each year for that, but that's because I now have a family of four that all love to use it. I still feel I'm much better off now, but it's worth considering this cost.
It's good though, isn't it?
When I think of the cost of my iPad, I remember I paid less for it than the floppy drive for my Commodore 64, which was over $1000 if you take inflation into account. When someone displays a look of horror when I hear someone mention they have actually paid a few dollars for an App, I remember what it used to be like. I guess it's still easy enough to spend lots of money on computers, but it no longer needs to be that way. I can't help thinking how much better it is now.

Operation and Development of the 2-m TelescopeThe Ondřejov 2-m telescope is the largest optical instrument for stellar research in the Czech Republic. The telescope has been in operation since 1967 and has become a national instrument for astrophysical research. Since the maintenance and development of the telescope, dome and instruments (spectrographs) require a lot of work, a separate working group ("Operation and development of the 2-m telescope") was created to fulfill this task. Since the 2-m telescope is used exclusively for stellar spectroscopy, this working group is part of the Stellar department.
The working group is a team of technicians, mechanics, electricians and software engineers. It consists of non-scientific technical staff whose primary responsibility is to ensure the telescope functions. The group provides technical support and it maintains and further develops the telescope and its instruments (spectrographs). Members of the group also work as observers during each observational night. For safety reasons two people must be present at the telescope during the observation night: the astronomer (who operates the spectrograph) and the observer-technician, who is responsible for the telescope.
We successfully performed two major improvements of the telescopes in the last five years. In 2007, modernization of the driving electronics was performed. This included the replacement of the position sensors and the driving software. The original electronics that were unique and hence irreplaceable were replaced with standard commercial electronics. In 2009 all the telescope mirrors were recoated, which significantly improved the telescope performance.
The telescope is equipped with two spectrographs. The coudé spectrograph in the current configuration offers two cameras, namely the 400mm (low dispersion) camera with a 2720x512px CCD chip from 2008 (resolving power 7200 at the Hα region), and the 700mm (medium dispersion) camera with a 2000x800px SITe CCD chip from 1999 (resolving power 12600 at the Hα region). The new echelle spectrograph placed in the second coudé room is equipped with a 2048x2048 EEV chip. It has a resolving power 50000 and covers the spectral region 4000 Å – 7000 Å.
The telescope is regularly used for scientific observations. Most observations are performed by scientists from the Astronomical Institute (members of the working group Physics of Hot Stars), however, colleagues from other institutes and universities also use this equipment (Charles University Prague, Masaryk University Brno, University of Wrocław, Astronomical Institute Tatranská Lomnica). The telescope is also used in international spectroscopic campaigns, where more telescopes observe the same object. The 2-m telescope with its spectrographs also serves as an educational instrument for students from two major Czech universities (Faculty of mathematics and physics, Charles University Praha and Faculty of Science, Masaryk University Brno), and also for students from abroad (Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade, Serbia).
All data obtained with the telescope spectrographs are automatically archived, and after the expiration of the proprietary period they are available to the broader community at the Czech Virtual Observatory.

Michael Jackson Collector's Issue
If you missed our special tribute issue, go to ew.com/mjcover to purchase a collectible set ($12.50). The four-issue assortment, which features iconic images of the late King of Pop, includes three covers not available on newsstands.
Gone Too Soon
My father remembers seeing the Jackson 5, a group of young black men just like him and his brothers, on The Ed Sullivan Show. I remember my parents playing Thriller and my brother dressing in a red zippered "Beat It" jacket. Michael Jackson's music has been an important part of my life, and at the news of his death, I felt like a part of my childhood had died. Thank you for the tribute issue to the entertainer who gave us so much.
Brandy Colbert
- As a longtime subscriber, I felt the need to write to you regarding Chris Nashawaty's piece "The Man, The Magic, The Mystery." Never before have I been so touched by an article in your magazine as I was by this one — it brought tears to my eyes.
- Nikki Ennis
- Byars, Okla.
For my 10th birthday, all I asked for was Thriller. I was obsessed. My sisters, my cousins, and I watched The Making of Thriller until we could quote it verbatim. When an article about Jackson appeared in The Boston Globe, I cut it out and put it in a scrapbook. I bid a fond farewell to him, and to an era.

How can you have a Michael Jackson Ultimate Playlist without "Beat It"?
Jay Kuzara
Cheektowaga, N.Y.
Music critic Leah Greenblatt responds: If we had had three times the space, we still couldn't have gotten to all the songs that many — including me! — consider essential. "Beat It" is a bona fide classic; I just happen to love four other tracks from Thriller even more, and we were attempting to represent as many of his albums as possible. However, you will find "Beat It" in our roundup of his all-time top 10 videos.
Reader's Delight
In recent issues you've touted young-adult novelists Libba Bray and Sarah Dessen. It's so refreshing to read a national magazine that can strut its discerning lit-knowledge stuff instead of recommending Gentle Ben and Anne of Green Gables to today's youth. You've made this middle school librarian's heart go pitter-pat with joy.

Putting Athletes on Track to Run the World
The Co-Founders of One Track Mind, Camille Driscoll and Ginny Nelson, presented their business for feedback at the 1MC Cherokee this morning. Today's gathering was sponsored by Reinhardt University with Tim Norton as lead organizer, VP of Marketing and Advancement, and Matthew Thomas, Canton's Economic Development Manager, served as the emcee.
The One Track Mind running and sports destination came to be out of a moment of conflict; a local group of middle school track and field athletes were no longer allowed to train with the high school teams, leaving coaches Driscoll and Nelson to deal with a shortage of track space. The pair created a junior league that grew in popularity over the years but the increase in willing participants did not equate to more practice space. "With that challenge we kept thinking that it would be so cool to have a facility of our own so we wouldn't have to drive out of the county for clinics," said Driscoll.
The idea for the multi-purpose, public facility came after a long period of research in which Nelson discovered that Georgia does not have an indoor track to accommodate athletes looking to train. The One Track Mind destination will encompass indoor, outdoor, and cross country track and field events and will be open to the public for summer camps during the off season.
"The number one question we get asked all the time is 'why Cherokee County?' We are totally on board with the new 'Cherokee By Choice' campaign. Within 30-50 miles, there is a huge number of colleges, high schools, and clubs. Bringing in sporting events, such as track and field, could have an enormous economic impact on Cherokee County."
During the Q&A portion, the audience had a lively discussion about the pros and cons of opening the facility in phases, membership prices and spectator fees, potential partnerships with other businesses and nonprofits, and the importance of securing land to ensure key investors are willing to invest.

To Get The Job Done
The Proper Way to Deal with a Rodent Problem in Dana PointDespite your best efforts, you may be shocked to find that rats or rodents and other rats or rodents have found their way into your home one day. If left unattended, a single rodent problem can quickly turn in to an all-out infestation. rats or rodents carry a number of diseases that are harmful to humans and pets. Further, they can damage property and ruin your food. Here are some steps you should take immediately upon suspecting a rodent problem in your home:
Secure Your Homerats or rodents are experts at finding ways to sneak into your house. Simply keeping doors and windows closed will not keep rats or rodents from invading your home. In fact, rodents are able to fit themselves through the smallest holes and cracks in your home that you may not even know exist. At the first sign of their existence, you will want to do a comprehensive inspection of your home to determine how they are getting in. Common points of entry include dryer vents and utility pipes. After you've determined how rats or rodents are getting in, it is vital that those areas are properly sealed off as soon as possible. You can try to do this yourself, but it is best if you consult a professional rodent exterminator to ensure the job is done correctly.
Protect Your KitchenMost homeowners know that leaving food out in the open is an invitation for pests, but if you have an active rodent infestation, you will need to take even more precautions. rats or rodents can easily chew through items like cardboard boxes and plastic bags. For that reason, it's important to place things like cereal and rice in tamper-proof plastic or glass containers, even if your package is unopened. If you suspect that a has already chewed through a package, throw the item away as soon as possible. Even canned foods should have some extra considerations during a rodent infestation. Rats or rodents will urinate and defecate around any area they inhabit. If rats or rodents are present in your pantry there is a risk that any item in your cabinet could have been exposed. If possible, keep canned items in large storage tubs to avoid contamination. If there is a chance a canned product has already been subjected to rats or rodents, be sure to wipe the lid down thoroughly with a disinfectant prior to opening it. Produce should also be kept in a refrigerator until you're sure there are no longer any rodents in your home.
Utilize Bait and Traps the Right WayTraps may be an effective way to catch rats or rodents at home. A typical mistake people make when using traps is not using enough. You may not think you have got multiple rats or rodents in your house, but you should still set a good number of traps in case. Underneath sinks, in pantries, and behind large appliances are popular places for rodents to hide. They are the very best areas to place traps and bait stations. If you are still unsure of where the rodents are congregating in your house, consult a professional rodent exterminator. When using any sort of bait station or trap, it's important to be sure to position them in places where children and pets can't access them.

For electronics Fender chose an American Series Precision Bass neck pickup and a custom Noiseless Jazz Bass bridge pickup, controlled with an active/passive switch, pickup pan control, and three-band active EQ (Treble Boost/Cut, Bass Boost/Cut and Mid Boost/Cut). Other distinct features include side output jack, '70s stamped open-gear tuners and a Hipshot Bass Xtender drop-D tuner on the E string. With so many songs going down to a low-D, the Hipshot makes it quick, easy, and exact, and switch back to an E with the flip of your thumb. The active/passive switch is a welcome addition that will let you play with the response and tone of a vintage bass, or the fast attack and punch of the active circuit. The satin finished neck feels great to the hands, and is a very comfortable C-shape with vintage frets and modern 9.5″ radius. Early 60 styling include vintage logo (with artist signature on back of headstock), 3-tone sunburst finish over alder body, 4-ply tortoise shell pickguard, white dot inlays, and 4-saddle American Vintage bridge and saddles. A new one will set you back $899 but this one is immaculate and just $599 including gigbag, hang tags, manual, etc.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is proposing a rule that would require certain financial institutions provide a plan to unwind in case of failure.
The firms would submit plans to the FDIC so the agency can assess risks to the deposit insurance fund in an effort to develop resolution strategies for "a period of severe financial distress," according to an FDIC release Wednesday.
The rule would further firm up a portion of the financial regulatory reform legislation under consideration in the Senate that aims to end the practice of taxpayer bailouts by closing loopholes used by the FDIC and Treasury Department to provide federal aid to failing financial firms.
Senate Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement last week on the bill's provisions aimed at smoothing the unwinding process of failing firms.
The proposed rule would apply only to "covered insured depository institutions" with greater than $10 billion in total assets that are owned or controlled by parent companies with more than $100 billion in total assets.
The FDIC would require information about the operations, management, financial aspects and affiliate relationships of the eligible financial institutions. The firms would be required to submit a plan within six months of the rule's effective date on how it would separate from its parent company in the event of failure or bankruptcy.
The FDIC would then determine if the plan is workable and require an update at least once a year based on the risk profile and structure of the institution.

As a writer and blogger, I think its pretty obvious that I enjoy writing. Reading, however, is one of my favorite pass times. Reading, in my opinion, is good for the mind because it helps to keep the mind fluid and sharp. Reading also adds color and depth to our world while at the same time enriching our lives.
Even though I'm about to start writing my third novel, I'm itching to read another biography. Whose biography am I referring to? Claudette Colvin.
Many credit Rosa Parks for jump starting the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama and in a way, she did. If it wasn't for Rosa Parks working as a secretary for the NAACP at that time, she probably wouldn't have received the amount of recognition she did.
We can't take away the fact that Rosa's position at the NAACP helped to change the horrible busing conditions for so many Black Americans in the South. With that being said, I think it's unfair to credit Rosa Parks as the first Black female to do it.
Rosa Parks wasn't the first Black female in Montgomery, Alabama to refuse to give up her seat to a White passenger. A brave fifteen year old girl by the name of Claudette Colvin was the first to do it.
Until next time…

City Officials Weigh Using Healthy San Francisco Funds To Help Pay Uninsured Residents' Exchange Premiums
San Francisco city leaders are considering using funds from Healthy San Francisco -- the city's near-universal health care program -- to help uninsured residents pay their Covered California premiums. The Universal Healthcare Council -- a task force of San Francisco business groups and health experts -- is assessing how the Affordable Care Act will affect Healthy San Francisco and will evaluate the program's funding over the next two months.

Mainmark are introducing the STRAAM system of full scale structural integrity assessment and continuous monitoring for Bridges into Australia and New Zealand. Advances in measuring extremely low amplitude vibrations combined with methods for extracting the unique dynamic signature have now enabled the rapid measurement of the response of steel and concrete bridge structures.
The STRAAM method utilizes the normal traffic conditions and wind loads on the bridge, without any lane closures, to measure the frequency response of the structure. This allows the quick calibration of Finite Element Models that can be used to accurately assess the strength of a bridge. Furthermore, this information allows bridge owners to efficiently track changes in the capacity of their bridges due to aging, impact, earthquake or flood activity through changes in the vibration of the bridge and associated natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios.
Because of the sensitivity of the instrumentation and the novelty of the analysis techniques, the information available to bridge owners and assessors allows information-based decisions to be made in a way that optimizes the financial implications. In addition, the techniques are non-invasive and nondestructive and they give additional information about the connectivity of the bridge with the surrounding terrain, and whether that connectivity is compromised.
This paper discusses the results obtained from field measurements from bridges located in USA, South America and Asia.
