In Remembrance of Christina Murphy
By Steve Sherwood, Director, TCU Center for Writing; Joe Law, WAC Director, Wright State University and professor of English (retired); Bonnie Devet, Professor of English / Director of the Writing Lab Department of English College of Charleston; Pam Childers, endowed chair as Director of the Writing Center at the McCallie School in Chattanooga (retired)
One of the greats in our field has died, and a lot of those who loved and admired her found out only recently about her passing.
Steve Sherwood:
Dr. Christina Murphy, the inaugural director of Texas Christian University's Writing Center and the author or coauthor of a number of notable and award-winning works about writing centers, died on October 13, 2018, of a brief illness.
After directing TCU's William L. Adams Center for Writing from 1988-1996, she left TCU to become the chair of the English Department at University of Memphis and later accepted positions as Associate Dean of William Patterson University and Dean of Marshall University. Nevertheless, she continued to contribute to writing center scholarship and to maintain friendships with a number of writing center professionals.
Note from the editor || Rethinking academic writing again and again
Brian Hotson is the editor of Connecting Writing Centers Across Borders.
Welcome to a new semester and a new academic year.
I've been reflecting on "rethinking academic writing," a subject that often comes up in conversation this time of year, with a new semester, new students, and old assignments looking for new life. A conversation with some colleagues on this jogged my memory of a Scientific American piece, The Scientific Paper is Obsolete, which caused a stir in this spring. This lead to more research (aka, the google rabbit hole): Death of Scientific Journals after 350 Years (FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2018); Revisiting: Why Hasn't Scientific Publishing Been Disrupted Already? (Scholarly Kitchen, 2016); and Blogs v. Term Papers (NYTimes, 2012).
"If You Are Doing it Right, You'll Encounter Bumps and Trouble": The University of Washington Tacoma's Social Justice and Antiracism Statement
The Writing Center at the University of Washington Tacoma received attention in February after a press release about their social justice and antiracism statement was featured on UW Tacoma's news and communications page. Following the article, several far-right blogs misrepresented the statement to suggest that UW Tacoma's writing center director, Asao B. Inoue, had claimed that dominant English grammar is racist.(1) Below is our email interview with Asao about the creation of the writing center's antiracism statement.
WLN: First, can you tell us a little about yourself, your writing center, and your staff?
Asao: I'm the Director of University Writing and the Writing Center at the University of Washington Tacoma. I am an Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, and I was just promoted to Full Professor, as of September. I am also the Assistant Chair of CCCCs and so am the Program Chair for 4C18 in Kansas City next March.
My research is in writing assessment and racism. I've published on validity theory, classroom assessment, writing program assessment, and composition pedagogy. Most of my work deals with ways to consider race, racial formations, whiteness, and antiracism as a practice in writing assessment. My work has won three national awards, two outstanding book awards, and an outstanding scholarship award from CWPA.
Our writing center is lucky to have four professional staff members, all of whom work full time (except one, out of choice), and full time administrative support. We also have fourteen student writing consultants (tutors), with majors from Communications to Philosophy to Environmental Science to Psychology. The center is centrally located on the second floor of the library. We conduct face-to-face and online sessions.
WLN: Can you describe the composing process and timeline for the statement? To what degree was your staff involved?
Asao: During our staff meetings in the winter and spring of 2015, we read some literature on racism and language, including some in writing center studies, and discussed them. During the process, student tutors and professional staff decided to build a statement with my urging. We used a Google Doc so that we could continue our work outside of the confines of the staff meetings, and so that others who couldn't make a meeting could still participate.
I shaped a lot of things in the statement early on, then let everyone else craft and revise the statement. We went through several iterations of the statement. I suggested that we think of the statement as a living document, one we would come back to periodically to refresh ourselves of our understandings of our position on antiracism and what we promise to do about it. This periodical looking back also means the statement may change as we change and as we try things.
Crossing Borders: Bilingual and Multilingual Writing Centers
Melanie Doyle is a writing tutor at the Writing House in the College of Nursing and Heath Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Boston. She also teaches composition in UMass Boston's English department while completing her MA.
In 2000, John Trimbur wrote of the importance of bilingualism in writing and called for more writing centers to transform from English-only to multilingual (30). Though many writing centers embrace notions of multiliteracies, some even rebranding themselves as multiliteracy centers, this designation tends to emphasize digital literacies rather than multilingualism or translingualism in the more traditional sense. In other words, despite college campuses becoming increasingly linguistically diverse, the majority of writing centers still operate under a dominant discourse. Indeed, though most (if not all) American college writing centers serve students from diverse language backgrounds, few can serve students in their preferred language. Looking slightly north, Canadian writing centers offer a unique perspective into writing tutoring, bilingually. Though Canada's contribution to writing center scholarship has been historically small, the field is growing, and the work produced from the Canadian Writing Centres
Association's (CWCA) annual conferences look to extend the borders of writing research. And with the continuing interest—and current utter importance—of understanding students' use of language, Canadian institutions are available sites for inquiry.
While Canada as a nation is officially bilingual, each Canadian province chooses its official language: Quebec, for example, is unilingual French, while Ontario, Canada's largest province, is unilingual English. Still, many of Canada's higher ed institutions offer francophone writing tutoring or bilingual writing tutoring. Ontario's University of Ottawa, situated in Canada's national capital and on the border with Quebec, is currently the largest bilingual university (French-English) in the world, and is thus is an interesting case study to examine bilingual writing tutoring.
To help me understand tutoring practices, pedagogies, and dynamics at the University of Ottawa, I spoke with Amélie from the Academic Writing Help Centre (AWHC), otherwise known as Centre d'aide à la rédaction des travaux universitaires (CARTU). Housed in a bilingual university where courses are taught in French and English, AWHC/CARTU's mandate is to offer writing support to all students in the official language of their choice in order to fulfill the University's mission. Indeed, the University of Ottawa is committed to protecting the region's francophone culture; so in 2015, it obtained designation[1] for its services in French, including student support services like tutoring. In other words, by offering writing tutoring in both French and English, the AWHC/CARTU is doing its part to protect student rights to their own language, using official statutes to ensure protection and access. Ultimately, by supporting francophone students in their studies, the AWHC plays an important role in helping the University of Ottawa achieve its goals regarding the promotion and safeguarding of francophonie.

Media still bored by Obama press conferences
Following President Obama's April 29 press conference, media figures on all three major cable news channels and elsewhere asserted that the press conference was "boring." Several commentators had similarly concluded that Obama's March 24 press conference was insufficiently entertaining, echoing Matt Drudge. Read More

Does Dobbs think Dr. Gupta and others at CNN are "out of their cotton pickin' minds"?
Noting that some people have criticized the use of the terms "swine flu" and "Mexican flu," Lou Dobbs said that the "idiots referring to it now as 'H1N1 virus' " are "out of their cotton pickin' minds." But Dr. Sanjay Gupta, among others at CNN, has used the term "H1N1," which Gupta said is "probably going to become the more appropriate nomenclature" for the virus. Read More
NBC/WSJ poll question advanced false claim about proposed labor law
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll question advanced the false claim that a secret-ballot election is currently required before workers can form a union. In fact, under current law, a secret-ballot election is required only when an employer demands it; an employer can recognize a union if it is supported by a majority of workers. Read More

It has been 56 years since Tan Howe Liang won Singapore's first Olympic medal. Yesterday, the 83-year-old was again honoured by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which conferred the IOC Diploma of Merit on the former weightlifter.
Tan, along with Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) secretary-general Chris Chan and vice-president Dr Tan Eng Liang, received the award last night for contributions to the Olympic movement.
They are the first Singaporeans to receive the award, which was presented by SNOC president Tan Chuan-Jin and Singapore's IOC member Ng Ser Miang.
Ng said the award recognised the contributions of each recipient to the growth of sport in Singapore. He pointed out that Tan's Olympic silver medal still inspires aspiring athletes today.
Tan was accompanied by his wife last night at the ceremony at Faber Peak Singapore, and the former weightlifter was approached by younger athletes, including 16-year-old shooter Martina Lindsay Veloso, to autograph a commemorative Olympic book.
Said Ng: "Howe Liang is an icon and he continues to inspire.
"With the Rio (de Janeiro) Games coming up, people like Howe Liang will be an inspiration for all the Singapore athletes. As we progress, we learn to appreciate (his achievement) more."
Minister for Social and Family Development Tan said in his speech: "Often, we seek inspiration from figures in sport, from people whose hearts are in sport not for expedient reasons or for personal benefit, but for all the priceless values that sport upholds.
"Howe Liang, Eng Liang and Chris have demonstrated these values through their commitment to sports."
Chan has been SNOC secretary-general since 2002. The 66-year-old former vice-president of the Olympic Council of Asia is responsible for the day-to-day running of the SNOC.
The SNOC is in charge of selecting athletes to the Olympics as well as the Asian, Commonwealth and SEA Games.
Dr Tan has served as SNOC's vice-president since 1991. Having played water polo at the 1956 Olympics, he said his love for sports kept him committed to his role as an administrator after he retired from the pool.
The 79-year-old, who received the IOC Olympic Movement Unity Trophy in 1995, said: "It's the love in wanting to do something for sports in Singapore."
This is not the first time that Singapore has received recognition from the IOC. Since 1986, 30 IOC awards have been handed out.
ActiveSG, Sport Singapore's national programme for sports, was awarded the IOC Sport and Innovation Trophy for its efforts to encourage Singaporeans to take up sports.

Modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation impact workers across all aspects of our global supply chain and represent an unacceptable affront to human rights.
We are committed to playing an active role in tackling these issues and over the years we have continuously developed and improved our approach. Our vertically integrated structure gives us insight into the evolving risk of modern slavery offences in UK, enabling us to trial and share best practice with our suppliers. Collaboration, transparency and shared responsibility are key to engaging our suppliers, competitors and external stakeholders in the fight against modern slavery and remain the guiding principles on which our approach is founded.
To demonstrate our commitment to supporting suppliers through modern slavery cases, we have worked in collaboration with other retailers, British Retail Consortium, Stronger Together and the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) to develop the Retailer Protocol for Handling Reported Cases of Modern Slavery in the UK Supply Chain. The protocol establishes principles of good practice and a procedure for retailers to follow when responding to reported cases of forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage and other forms of modern slavery in their UK supply chain. Formalising our approach on this is key to improving reporting of incidents by our suppliers and enables protocol signatories to provide collaborative support.
Training and awareness continue to be at the forefront of our approach to identifying modern slavery and building the capacity to effectively manage incidents in a way that supports positive outcomes for victims. We provide a wide range of free training options for our suppliers through our support for a number of anti-slavery initiatives and also fund dedicated awareness training for UK farmers, delivered by experts from the GLAA. This is supported by internal training for employees in key roles and e-learning for manufacturing team leaders and supervisors that has been delivered to over 800 colleagues.
We operate an externally provided whistleblowing hotline called "Tell Us" which is available to all suppliers, enabling them to raise concerns directly and anonymously to our head office Risk and Compliance teams. We also have several internal policies in place to enhance our commitment to operating ethically and ensuring that all our colleagues are treated with dignity and respect, including Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Right to Work, Respect in the Workplace and Whistleblowing. These policies are regularly updated and made available to all colleagues through our online "My Morri" platform.

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello grounds, Virginia
I asked for strength that I might achieve;
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy;
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I had asked for;
But everything that I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered;
I am among all men, most richly blessed.
Written by an unknown Confederate soldier

Programs & Events
ISCO members have offered a number of programs and services. Some are very large events, such as "A Taste of Home," with over 500 people attending. Most of our efforts are on a much smaller scale, which gives participants the chance to meet and speak with people from cultures other than their own.
ISCO regularly adds a multicultural perspective to community events such as:
- Citizenship Ceremonies
- Since ISCO's earliest days, it has been honoured to assist in the ceremonies that celebrate new Canadian citizens. ISCO was particularly pleased to host the July 1, 2006 Citizenship ceremony held at the Kelowna City Hall.
- Global Citizen Week
- The Intercultural Society of the Central Okanagan, Kelowna Community Resources Host Program and Hope for the Nations join together to offer "A Taste of Home," a festival of multicultural food and entertainment. Admission and the entertainment are free and the food is inexpensive.
- Potluck in the Park
- ISCO invites members, friends and neighbours to an intercultural potluck picnic at Mission Creek Park. Local ESL students organize games from their home countries, and so we celebrate summer, food and fun from all over the world.
- The City of Kelowna's Family Fun Day
- Each year ISCO members share some of their cultural songs, games and crafts with children and adults attending this annual event held at the Parkinson Recreation Centre.
- Multiculturalism Day Activities
Some past events and services have included:
- My Neighbour, My Friend
- This multicultural film festival extended over three evenings, and offered films for a range of ages, from a number of different countries.

Session 4
Time to do some reading and listening to help you practise this unit's grammar and vocabulary. First, take a look at our magazine article. See how much you understand, and perhaps you can spot some of our deliberate mistakes! Then, practise your listening skills by tuning into this unit's News Report, brought to you by Sophie.
Activity 1
The power of red
Now you know all about present simple and present continuous. So, you're ready to see some language in action – and test what you know!
Take a look at this article about the colour red and its importance in fashion. We put some mistakes into the article to test you – can you spot them?
There is one mistake in each paragraph. That's 7 mistakes altogether. Each mistake is related to present simple and/or present continuous.
The answers are at the bottom of this page. Good luck!

The power of red
It's London Fashion Week. The worlds' fashionistas are blogging, tweeting and instagramming about this season's looks and trends to a fashion-hungry audience. The colour of the moment is red – bright, bold and brave. In the language of clothing, red makes a statement. For some people, it stands for power; for others, red is meaning danger. But where do these meanings come from – and is the power of the colour red changing?
Nowadays, when it comes to colour, most of us are wear what we choose. But things were very different back in 15th century England, when only the rich and powerful – and their servants - were allowed to wear the colour red – and the English King Henry VIII passed four separate laws to make sure everyone obeyed the rules.
But why the colour red? Professor Lisa Jardine of University College, London, is say that the answer is all about money, power and status. The dyes that turned cloth red in Henry's day were expensive – so only rich people could afford to wear red clothing. Henry's laws were a way of controlling who was able to show their wealth, power and social status.
But red had other, more negative meanings - especially for women. The English phrase 'scarlet woman' describe a woman who has lots of sexual partners – so perhaps it doesn't come as a surprise to learn that Queen Elizabeth I (also known as 'The Virgin Queen') often wore white as a symbol of her purity – and Queen Elizabeth II wore a white dress for her coronation.
But times are changing, and these days, in western fashion at least, women can wear their favourite shade of red without fear. Even the Queen is wearing red on public occasions, and red is one of the Duchess of Cambridge's favourite colours.
So, fashionable women definitely wearing red this September. According to Vogue Magazine, "these reds are healthy, warm and vibrant, proving fashion's heart beats strong and sure." There are even some red wedding dresses on show – although I'm not expecting to see them in my local church any time soon…
I'm no scarlet woman, but I think about buying a pair of red boots for myself this winter. After all, if Princess Kate is wearing red this season - that's good enough for me!
This article is based on an original BBC Magazine article.
To do
Did you spot the mistakes in the text? There was one mistake in each paragraph. Here they are.
Paragraph 1
Wrong: red is meaning danger.
Right: red means danger.
Reason: 'Red means danger' describes a fact/truth, so present simple is correct here
Paragraph 2
Wrong: most of us are wear what we choose.
Right: most of us wear what we choose.
Reason: the present simple is made of subject (most of us) + verb (wear).
Paragraph 3
Wrong: Professor Lisa Jardine of University College, London, is say that the answer is all about money, power and status.
Right: Professor Lisa Jardine of University College, London, says that the answer is all about money, power and status.
Reason: the form of present simple is subject (Professor Lisa Jardine of University College, London) + verb-s for he/she and it (says).
Paragraph 4
Wrong: The English phrase 'scarlet woman' describe a woman
Right: The English phrase 'scarlet woman' describes a woman
Reason: The form of present simple is subject (The English phrase 'scarlet woman') + verb-s for he/she/it (describes).
Paragraph 5
Wrong: Even the Queen is wearing red on public occasions
Right: Even the Queen wears red on public occasions
Reason: The Queen wears red on public occasions – this is a habit, so we need present simple.
Paragraph 6
Wrong: fashionable women definitely wearing red this September.
Right: fashionable women are definitely wearing red this September.
Reason: The form of present continuous is subject (fashionable women) + am/is/are + verb-ing (are definitely wearing).
Note: Adverbs like 'definitely' and 'probably' go between 'am/is/are' and 'verb-ing'.
Paragraph 7
Wrong: I think about buying a pair of red boots
Right: I'm thinking about buying a pair of red boots
Reason: Here, 'I'm thinking' describes an activity, so we use the present continuous. Note: when we use the verb 'think' to give an opinion, we use present simple. When we use the verb think to describe the process of thinking, we use present continuous. For example: 'I'm thinking about my girlfriend.' (activity) 'I think she is beautiful' (opinion)
We hope you enjoyed that article. Next up, it's News Report time - join Sophie in the next activity as she reports on 'the business end' of the fashion industry.
సెషన్ లోని వ్యాకరణం
We use the present simple for facts & truths, habits & things that we do regularly and permanent situations.
I check my email every day. (regular activity)
Margaret works at the bank. (permanent situation)
We use the present continuous for things that are happening at the time we are speaking, temporary situations and activities that are in progress.
Just a minute. I'm checking my email.
Present Simple - Positive: subject + infinitive without 'to' for I, you, we and they. For he, she and it, we add -s or -es to the infinitive.
I wear a suit for work. Sarah wears a dress.
Present Continuous - Positive: subject + am/is/are + verb-ing.
The phone's ringing - can you answer it?
Present Simple - Negative: subject + don't (do not) or doesn't (does not) + infinitive without 'to'
I don't eat meat. John doesn't eat fish.
Present Continuous - Negative: subject +am/is/are not + verb-ing.
I'm not wearing a coat.
Present Simple Wh- Questions: question word + do/does + subject + infinitive without 'to'.
Why do you want a new phone?
Present Simple Yes/No Questions: do/does + subject + infinitive without 'to'.
Does Mahmood read the news online every day?
Present Continuous Wh- Questions: question word + am/is/are + subject + verb-ing.
What are you doing?
Present Continuous Yes/No Questions: am/is/are + subject + verb-ing.
Is it raining?

- You have 24 great parent-teacher conferences and one rough one.
- Many students had "A-ha!" moments in math around a tough concept, but one just couldn't get it and was near tears by the end of class.
- At the end of a long day in which you were patient and calm with students' many challenges, you snapped unprofessionally at a student who rolled her eyes at you.
- The staff meeting was energetic and lively as you and your colleagues discuss moving toward standards-based assessment. At the end of the meeting, one colleague made a snide remark that felt pointed in your direction.
As you drive home, what do you dwell on–the day's positive events or the ones that didn't go so well? If you're like most, you spend a disproportional amount of time ruminating and rehashing negative events while barely giving the positive ones a passing thought. We resent a colleague who slighted us. We beat ourselves up for snapping at Jane and not being able to find a way to help Marc understand ratios. We dwell on the negative conference, feeling a mixture of disappointment and anger. Though learning from mistakes and challenges can help us grow professionally, to overly focus on negatives isn't healthy.

This past weekend I was at The Learning and the Brain Conference in Boston and keynote speaker Rick Hanson told a Native American story that beautifully emphasized the importance of focusing on positive thoughts: A young girl is sitting with her grandmother by the fire. "Grandmother," she begins. "How did you become so loving? How did you become so kind? How did you become so generous of spirit?" The grandmother leans forward. "When I was young, I realized that I had two wolves inside me, a wolf of love and a wolf of hate, and I realized that I needed to feed the right one."
Rick then led us through an exercise, an adaptation of which I'd like to share with you—an exercise in recognizing and amplifying positive moments while keeping the negative ones in their place.
Step 1: Focus on a positive event from the day—a time of deep connection with a student, a moment when you felt proud of a great lesson, a sense of accomplishment at the completion of a challenging task. Think about that moment and hold on to it. Focus on it for at least 15-20 seconds. If your mind wanders, bring it back and refocus.
Step 2: Enrich this feeling. Amplify it. Turn up the volume. Make it powerful. Again, hold this feeling for at least 15-20 seconds.
Step 3: Absorb it. Feel it physically. Feel its warmth spread through your body. Can you keep holding on? How long? 30 seconds? 60 seconds?
Step 4: If you can, now allow a negative event from the day to enter your mind, but keep it in its proportional place. Keep the positive thought strong and steady. If the negative event starts to build, push it back down or dismiss it, focusing instead on the positive one.
That's it! It sounds simple, yet it's surprisingly powerful. Try it on your homeward commute and see how it works!
In The Well-Balanced Teacher, I make the case that our own well-being as teachers is critical for our students. After all, if we're not balanced and healthy, how will we ever maintain the energy and passion needed to create positive and vibrant learning environments for our students? So, try this simple mindfulness exercise each day for the next week on your way home, and see if it helps refresh your spirit, even just a little. Your students will reap the benefits!

Coinbase is a bitcoin and cryptocurrency broker founded in San Francisco in 2012 by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam. It is one of the longest-running and perhaps the largest and most popular bitcoin buying / selling company in the world.
Coinbase is a company with all the licenses and registries necessary to operate legally both in the United States and in the other countries in which it provides services. Coinbase started as a broker service (selling bitcoins directly to its customers in exchange for dollars or euros) but has been adding other types of services over time.
In addition to its broker service, it offers a bitcoin exchange or exchange service for other cryptocurrencies. Likewise, it has a purse or wallet for the storage of cryptocurrencies.
How to Open an Account in Coinbase
Registering and buying bitcoins in Coinbase is quite easy compared to other websites and similar services. The platform will guide you and indicate what you should do at any time, but in case there is a problem we'll explain it step by step.
First go to: COINBASE.COM
1. Sign In Coinbase
You must fill in the information: name, surname, and email, choose a password. Complete the captcha, confirm that you are over 18 years old and accept the User Agreement and the Privacy Policy. Press the Register me button.
You'll get a notice indicating that Coinbase complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD) of the European Union. Click on Next. A new notice will appear asking if you want to receive your newsletter. Opt for the option you prefer.
2. Verify Your Email Address
Once you do, you'll get a screen that will ask you to check your email. You must go to the email inbox that you just provided (check the spam tray in case you can not find it) and locate the email that you just sent.
3. Access the Coinbase Website with Your Username and Password
Once verified your email you can access the web with your email and the password you chose. Once you access your website you'll access your control panel. Before you can make your first purchase the web will ask you to provide certain information: you must verify your phone number, verify your identity and choose the payment method. In principle, the web will guide you automatically in the whole process, but if not, follow the next steps.
4. Verify Your Mobile Phone
For security reasons, Coinbase will ask you to provide and verify a phone number. For this, they will send you an SMS with a verification code that you must enter in your web.
Once verified, that phone will serve as a second layer of security, both to access the platform and to confirm the operations you perform on the platform.
It is what is known as Two-Factors Authentication (2FA) and later you can modify the security options and choose another to choose the one that best suits your needs.
As you can see, we have completed the first two steps and the time has come to verify our identity.
Coinbase is an American company that is obliged to follow the legislation on Know Your Customer (KYC, Know Your Customer) and Anti Money Laundering (AML, Anti Money Laundering), so you must ask your customers to verify your identity. These laws are intended to prevent money laundering and other illicit activities.
Unfortunately for us, this means that we must provide a large amount of personal information including a copy of identity documents.
If you weren't redirected directly when confirming your phone with the SMS code, then you must access the Buy / Sell Tab and select Send ID + Photo.
You can upload a copy of your passport, driving license or other photo ID (the options may vary depending on your country), and you can do it through the webcam, the mobile camera or uploading a file. You'll also be asked for a photo of the front and back of the document. This verification may take several minutes.
Once your photo and documentation are verified you can proceed to buy bitcoin, for which you must first choose the payment method you prefer.
5. Choose a Payment Method
You have two options to buy bitcoin in Coinbase. You can use a credit/debit card or pay by bank transfer.
Payment by credit or debit card is faster. You'll receive your bitcoins in your Coinbase wallet instantly upon completion of the purchase. On the other hand, the commissions payable by card are higher than if you pay by transfer.
The bank transfer has very low fees but it can take several days until Coinbase receives the payment and you receive your bitcoins.
6. Add data Credit / Debit Card in Coinbase
Buying bitcoin with credit or debit card is a good option if you need to buy small amounts or if you want to have your bitcoins immediately to make a quick trading operation with them or if you want to exchange them for other cryptocurrencies.
The commission for card purchases is 3.99%, so it is not the most recommended option. Depending on your level of verification you can have limits on the amount you can buy by credit or debit card. To be able to buy with a card you must first add your card information on the web.
As we have just indicated, to do this you must go to Settings / Linked Accounts / Link a new account and in the window that appears select Credit / Debit Card. A window will open in which you must indicate the billing information of the card (the address you provided to your bank).
When completing the data a second window will open where you enter the data that appear on the card. Once your card is done, it will appear in the tab linked Accounts within Configuration.
Beginners will find the platform of Coinbase simple to use and much less confusing than exchanges or markets of cryptocurrencies, being able to make the purchase with the forms of payment to which everyone is accustomed (cards and bank transfers).
As you can see, the process of buying bitcoins in Coinbase is quite easy and intuitive. It can be a bit heavy throughout the verification process and provide personal data, but this is the price to pay to be sure that you work with a serious platform that meets all the rules and regulations.

47 Meters Down 2017
Young sisters Kate and Lisa and travel to Mexico for a vacation filled with sun, fun and adventure. Lisa needs some extra persuasion when Kate suggests that they go diving in shark-infested waters. Safe in their protective cage, the thrill-seeking siblings come face to face with a group of majestic great whites. Their worst fears soon become a reality when the cage breaks away from their boat, sending them plummeting to the ocean floor with a dwindling supply of oxygen.

By: Monte Light
47 Meters Down, starring Claire Holt and Mandy Moore of This is Us fame, is a pedestrian shark attack thriller. It was written and directed by Johannes Roberts, (The Other Side of the Door), who assumes modern audiences have the collective intelligence of tubeworms. But to be fair, it's not all bad. Mediocre, yes. But possessing some moments of genuine frisson.
Moore and Holt play sisters Lisa and Kate, who are vacationing together in Mexico. Lisa is going through a tough breakup, and she confides to Kate that her boyfriend left her because he thought she was boring. So sister Kate encourages Lisa to do something daring and reckless before their trip is over. Believe me, director Roberts drives the irony home with all the finesse of a crotch kick. Tubeworms, people. That's what he thinks of us.
Official Synopsis: Young sisters Kate and Lisa and travel to Mexico for a vacation filled with sun, fun and adventure. Lisa needs some extra persuasion when Kate suggests that they go diving in shark-infested waters. Safe in their protective cage, the thrill-seeking siblings come face to face with a group of majestic great whites. Their worst fears soon become a reality when the cage breaks away from their boat, sending them plummeting to the ocean floor with a dwindling supply of oxygen.
The ladies meet two handsome men, who offer them an opportunity to get up close and personal with sharks. "It's like going to the zoo," one of them says. "Only you're the one in the cage." Kate encourages Lisa to take the risk, because of the hurtful thing Lisa's boyfriend said to her about being boring. Lisa begrudgingly agrees. Yes, this woman will ultimately endanger her life, trapped by killer fish at the bottom of the ocean, because she wanted to make her ex jealous. As personal vendettas go, that one ranks well below revenge porn. Once on board, they meet Captain Taylor, played by an amiable if disinterested Matthew Modine. He acts shifty, his boat is old, and his diving cage is rusty. What could possibly go wrong?
On a technical level, 47 Meters Down is proficient enough. Apparently, the undersea sequences, which make up about ninety percent of the film, were shot in an actual underwater studio. Both actresses learned the delicate art of scuba diving. The CGI sharks look pretty believable, (except for the close-ups). No one can say the talent's heart wasn't in the right place. But it's all in service to a base, workmanlike approach to horror. The first shark attack is an "in your face" jumpscare, obviously patented for cheap 3D thrills. Most of the "run and hide" moments are constructed exactly like a teen slasher film from the eighties, only in a completely ludicrous environment for such a thing to take place. Steven Spielberg isn't rolling in his grave, thankfully, but I'm sure he's rolling his eyes somewhere.
Mandy Moore is a solid actress when given strong material. You can see her diligently throwing everything and the kitchen sink into her performance. Thankfully, Moore isn't as wooden as her costar Holt, who never really sells the sisterly love. But there are two needling problems that bring her down. One: Moore's voice never matches the hysteria of her physicality. Because of this, you never quite believe Lisa's desperation. Two: the script writes Lisa as an idiot at every turn. The latter isn't Moore's fault, but she's also incapable of compensating. An actor with more charisma could have done it swimmingly, (pun very much intended).
There are flashes of brilliance, like gossamers of algae lost in a tidal wave. For one, the use of subjective camera angles, darting in and out of Lisa's scuba mask, as she first realizes she is trapped at the bottom of the ocean, beautifully conveys the claustrophobia of such an emotional moment. A simple but effective choice, similar to Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity (2013). In many ways, 47 Meters Down would've worked better without the cheap shark attacks. The most effective moments of horror happen without them: characters having to swim into murky nothingness to re-establish radio contact, the fear of losing your bearings underwater, the threat of depleting oxygen reserves, a possible death from nitrogen bubbles forming in the brain. Those bits genuinely put your heart in your throat. The shark bits just make you think of Sharknado (2013).
The most egregious flaw is the dialogue. Mundane lines are used far too often to spell out everything you see on screen as if director Roberts doesn't trust his own visuals. Lisa looks at her oxygen gage, we see the number going down, but the character insists on announcing it every single time. I'm sorry, but it's not that hard to follow. At one point, Lisa comes upon a harpoon gun fortuitously, (don't ask). "A harpoon gun!" she squeals, using up that precious air to state the bloody obvious. You know, film is a visual language. Making amateurish scenes like that, Johannes Roberts makes a strong case for the devolution of the medium. The Weinstein Brothers passed 47 Meters Down to a smaller distribution house, Freestyle Releasing. They probably smelled blood in the water, (pun very much intended).
47 Meters Down will arrive on 2,500 screens on June 16, 2017. There's a third act twist that I won't spoil, but any horror aficionado will see it coming from a mile away. If you're looking for a few cheap thrills, I suppose you won't be disappointed. It's just not worth dragging along your chum, (pun completely unintentional).

|Meet Vinny
Bonjour! Glad to make your acquaintance. My name is Vinny (short for Vincent Van Gogh because of my funny-looking right ear). I'm a handsome boy with a black mask and white fur. I was brought ot Maxfund in 2018 after my owner passed away. My nice owner had found me as a stray in 2017 and brought me home to live with him. Once he got sick I never left his side. I'm very loving, and I like to flop down for some belly rubs. I'm just a huge goofball--what can I say? I do have a chronic illness called FIV. But don't let that worry you. All it means is I have a slightly depressed immune system. I don't require any special care or special food. I just need to be an inside cat, and any other cats in my new forever home should also have FIV just to be safe. Other cats like me live long, healthy lives. I get along pretty well with other cats, and I do OK with gentle kids. I'm not sure about dogs. I'm currently living in a foster home, so if you'd like to meet me, please call the shelter to set up a visit. I want to show you my sparkling personality!

James's story
In May this year my 85 year old mum collapsed behind her front door and was rushed to Monklands A&E by ambulance. 3 weeks later she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. After 4 weeks she was transferred to QEUH, Glasgow where 9 weeks later she remains with no noticeable improvement. GBS & Delirium have taken over my mum so myself and my daughter decided to help raise awareness, support research and help patients/carers for this rare condition by supporting GAIN and running the Killin 10K. By a cruel twist of fate my daughter, Rebecca, fell off her horse 2 days after signing up and fractured her talus bone (ankle). The result is she will be in a non weight bearing cast for 6 weeks before starting rehabilitation. So I will run this 10K with Rebecca (hopefully out of cast by them) and Diane, my amazing wife. Please help if you can and THANK YOU.

Idiot's Guide to Cricket World Cup
Posted by Neeraj Kumar on March 19, 2007
(Published on 17th March)
Being an Indian you are obligated to share the excitement generated by Cricket. What more, its World Cup! So, I was feeling a bit low when I was required to be reminded of India's first match today. I don't do well when I am at my memory's disposal. In India, it would have been so different when cricket takes over the entire nation and deserted streets scream of an on-going Indian match. This is the tournament where eight cricket playing nations (and the rest who have made the numbers on first come first serve basis, it seems. Canada and Bermuda?). India is playing their first match today with Bangladesh. Mind you, Bangladesh have beaten Australia. But, everybody beats Australia these days. Anyways, not having prior knowledge of this game almost gave me the feeling of having cheated my Indian spirit. Come on, after all, cricket is one thing that unifies us- the Indians. Ofcourse, Saurav Ganguly has to be IN the team otherwise Bengal becomes a different nation altogether. And it helps if India is winning every game or else a couple of players might get attacked. But, considering the number of people who sanction this game's patriotic spirit far undermines these couple of exceptions. (Note: We never considered Shiv Sena part of this mass as they are very eager to destroy every cricket pitch where Pakistan will (or might) play. This goes against our moral conviction to build a secular country. And moreover, they don't like Valentine's day which is simply unacceptable when we are trying to build an image as a tolerant nation.)
Talk of cricket is incomplete without the mention of Australia. The most famous Australian we have on our soil is unanimously considered a legend. But, he, Mr Greg Chappell is more famous for being the Indian coach who managed to show Saurav Ganguly the door. Now, thats the Australian way of doing things. One year hence, Saurav Ganguly does nothing impressive on the cricket field and makes his way back in to the Indian cricket team. Now thats the Indian way of doing things. We reach greatest of heights with least of effort. You just need to know the right set of people.
So, whom will I like to win the World Cup? Being an Indian, I will love to to see India win and it seems like they have almost got the right combination. But, have they got the right attitude? Thats for us to wait and see. If India fails, I, like most others go for the underdogs. So, it has to be Australia. Now, before you take my right away of tagging them as underdogs go and check their record in last few matches. I mean I know that there has been lots of Australian action but most of that has been off the pitch. And our very own Mr Gavaskar has given them a crash course on good behaviour. Gavaskar has been so energetic to air his concern when he has got chance to do so that it is almost difficult to believe that he is the same guy who managed to stay on the pitch for entire 60 overs and failed to score the century! Hey, nothing should surprise you. We are Indians!
PS: I have to talk about England. I am sure they will win the World Cup but, not this time. The good thing is that they seem to be least bothered.
Update (18th March): Well, so India did it again. Good thing is that so did our neighbours. For Pakistan world-cup is over. For us, we are almost there. Unless, I have spoken too soon. Well-done to Bangladesh. Honest passion that they have for this sport owes them several great moments like these. And what about Irish?! Seems like these countries are doing more than making up numbers. Far more than that. Ask a Pakistani fan. Or an angry Indian for that matter if they are not busy destroying "hard" earned assets of our beloved cricketers.

HARTLAND – Responding to a neighbor's report of a suspicious person lurking around a Chapman Road home, sheriff's deputies found a man who they said had just broken into the residence. He later admitted to a prior break-in as well, deputies said.
The man was found sitting inside his vehicle in the driveway of the home at around 4 p.m. Christmas Day. When the owner came home, she discovered that the home had been entered and a cash box hidden beneath a living room sofa had been rifled through, but nothing appeared to have been taken.
The man initially denied having entered the home, which he said belongs to a relative of his fiancee, but he later admitted to that break-in and to another six days earlier in which several objects were taken. Some of the stolen goods were found inside the man's vehicle, deputies said.
The 24-year-old Medina resident was not immediately charged, pending completion of an investigation by sheriff's criminal investigators.

Government 'must do more' to fix housing crisis
The government must go beyond the commitments made in the Housing White Paper if it is to meet the challenge of building a million plus homes, argues think tank.
A new collection of essays published by IPPR, the progressive policy think tank, urges the government to go further, and to implement bold measures that could promote an increase in the supply of new homes to meet demand.
Within the collection, Michael Lyons, chair of the Lyons Housing Commission, argues the political parties remain "too strongly wedded to owner-occupation and there needs to be recognition we cannot provide the number of homes needed without building homes of all tenures."
He also makes the case for a more fundamental review of the greenbelt, "in no other area would a policy fixed in 1955 be considered untouchable in perpetuity."
The book includes essays from:
- Malcolm Sharp, member Lyons Housing Commission, on the role of land and planning. He argues for stronger measures to make sure that land with planning permission is brought forward swiftly for housing development
- Mark Clare, former CEO of Barratt Homes and member of the Lyons Housing Commission, on the role of the private housebuilders. He argues for the need to drive the current housebuilders harder, deliver an industrial strategy for housebuilding and increase the number of SME housebuilders
- Michael Lyons and Caroline Green, director of the Lyons Housing Commission, on giving older people's housing a higher priority in public policy to benefit the young. They argue for prioritising government subsidy and public land to deliver extracare and specialised housing and ensuring there is more attractive rental offer for older people
- James Bailey, PwC, on the potential contribution of local authorities. He argues for the establishment of a new generation of housing development companies and 'bespoke agreements' to allow local authorities to borrow more in exchange for a commitment to build more homes
- Bill Hughes, LGIM Real Assets, looks at the bigger contribution that could be made by the market rented sector and proposals to support it including simplifying VAT, improving the planning environment and encouraging capital investment.
Sir Michael Lyons said: "The housing market is broken. That is the stark conclusion of the government's White Paper published in February 2017. Few would disagree, and the impacts are clear for all to see.
"Both the White Paper and Labour and Conservative manifestos offer wide agendas and suggest a future government might be willing to promote an approach to housing in order to 'make Britain a country that works for everyone.
"This book of essays supports that ambition and urges the next government to go further, proposing some bolder solutions than those currently on offer."
Luke Murphy, IPPR senior research fellow, said: "With both Labour and the Conservatives promising large numbers of new homes in their manifestos there is now a consensus in parliament for radical action and a comprehensive plan to fix Britain's broken housing market.
"This collection of essays offers new ideas that all parties should consider to deal with one of the most pressing problems and most daunting targets presented for the new parliament."

|Avkon Conglomeration
|Emblem of the Conglomeration
|Matriarchal Monarchy
|Viis Ku-vuk
The Avkon Conglomeration (abbreviated AVCON) was the government of the Alvonians. (Star Trek: Far Horizons: "Conglomeration")
Founding Edit
During the dark ages, Alvon was controlled by several different Hives. The Avkon Hive, ruled by Queen Iveh, eventually came to dominate the rest of the Hives, combining them together to formed the Conglomeration. All other Queens were killed, leaving Iveh as the sole remaining Queen.
Structure Edit
The Conglomeration's governmental structure was simple. As an insectoid species, the Conglomeration was ruled by a matriarchy. Thirteen female elders sat on a council called the Iveh Council (named in honor of the first Avkon Hive Queen). Officially the Iveh Council acted as an advisory committee for the Queen, however, due the extreme age of the Queen, the Iveh Council actually precede over the Conglomeration as its rulers. The Iveh Council consisted of twelve members, whom were referred to as Archons. The eldest member was dubbed the High Archon, and was the de facto ruler of the council and the Conglomeration.
Military Edit
Structure Edit
All military personnel were male.
The Conglomeration's military structure was divided into three divisions: Command, Warrior, and Drone. The Command division was made up of the eldest warriors from the Warrior division. The supreme commander of the military was a high ranking general selected by the Iveh Council. The Warrior division carried out the orders of the Hive Command. The Drone division were the main workforce of the military.
Fleet Edit
The Conglomeration fleet was made up of cohorts of hive ships. Each cohort was under the command of Prefect, and each hive ship was under the command of a Intendant. Regional districts were controlled by Prefects of a higher rank than the cohorts. The fleet maintained the border and expansion of the Conglomeration.
The fleet also handled the culling of food, and oversaw its distribution. ("Conglomeration")

Expand/Contract Questions and Answers
I want to obtain information regarding planning, zoning or subdivision issues.
In many cases, the information may be obtained by a phone call to the Community and Economic Development Department, but if there are complex issues, a visit to the office to get all the facts before making decisions about your project may be necessary.
I want to know when a special use permit is required.
The Zoning Ordinance identifies certain land uses that don't fit into existing zoning districts, but may be allowed with approval of a special use permit. They are uses that may or may not be appropriate in a particular location depending on public need and benefit versus community and neighborhood impact. Some uses that require a special use permit are: taverns, restaurant with alcohol sales, car washes, auto body repair/paint shop, gasoline sales, automobile sales, shelter facilities, etc.
I want to know what a Certificate of Appropriateness is and when it is required.
The certificate is issued by the City of Appleton Historic Preservation Commission. It approves the alteration, rehabilitation, construction, reconstruction or demolition of a historic structure, historic site or any improvement in a historic district. A certificate must be obtained before any building permits will be issued. You can
download the application form
from this website or call the Community and Economic Development Department to have one mailed to you. Applications must be submitted eight business days before the regular monthly meeting of the Commission.
I want to know the zoning of my property.
To find the zoning of a property, use the
My Neighborhood
webpage. Not only will you find the zoning, but also other important data about your property is listed here.
I want to establish a business in my own home in a residential zoning district.
The Home Occupation section of the Zoning Ordinance allows some types of business in residential areas. Due to concerns for the neighborhood, there are certain restrictions on the types of businesses allowed and the methods of operation. We advise contacting the Community and Economic Development Department and speaking to a Planner prior to making any decisions or purchases regarding a home occupation.
I want to apply for a rezoning, special use permit, site plan review, certified survey map review, plat review, annexation or temporary use permit.
All these applications are available on this website. Further information about these applications and the processes they pertain to can be found in
Chapter 23 of the Municipal Ordinance, also known as the Zoning Ordinance.
