I've been expecting this, but.... rejected (or as they put it "not admitted") from Carnegie Mellon. I've had to wait an entire week to get this notfication. It's not fair that admitted students are notified first. An entire week of waiting when we could have moved on with life.

Woot, my first image! And I've been accepted to USC's Interactive Media Division. Honestly, I don't feel like I'm qualified, but I'm excited at the prospect of going (and have been nervous the past few weeks). This nearly makes up for my UCLA rejection. I shouldn't have tried to apply to their Design | Media Arts program, knowing that I wasn't ready at all. Now all there is left to worry about are my application to Carnegie Mellon's integrated BCSA program, and whether or not I will receive enough financial aid to reasonable enroll at these schools.
With the SCVMA Math Field Day at SJSU coming up this Saturday, I feel really pressured, as I also want to put time into Heart of Darkness (just crammed with details, required reading for English 4AP class), Doodle 4 Google (I just love google, and really want to participate, also the chance for a 15k scholarship), preparing for CMU's fateful decision, and even my pages for our chinese school yearbook (>_> what pictures of myself?). I'm going to be participating the in the Leap Frog Relay, with the erudite Ken Cheng. I've had these practice questions for two full weeks, and yet i only begin to look at them with two days left until judgement. What terrible work habits.
Us children. Bob Ross, some reading power childrens' show, Wishbone, Simply Ming, Chen Jan (sp?), etc. We haven't watched the tele in such a long time, everything was made fun of.

SJSU Art Show
Followed STさん to San Jose State University. He needed extra credit for Photography... 'said it was harder than he thought. S needs extra credit? Saw Juliana Rico's photo gallery, she had a bunch of night pictures, and people who moved were blurred. I liked the fire-breathing one, and the photo of a cosplaying child (robot head) captivated by the balloon-making clown. Someone left a Pac-man note, so I drew a ghost for them. Cute! Other galleries include an unwanted gallery, with a lot of sad testimonials from people who feel left out and unloved, a Tetris clone with musical notes instead of blocks, and a pottery showcase.
In the hall, two paintings caught our attention. One yellow one had the screws take a part in the image, it reminded STさん of Steamboy. The screws looked attached to joints of machinery. Another painting featured what looked like flying sushi, and fiery food that fell through the sky like meteors. Mhmmmm, hungry.

Anger is an emotion that usually arises from irritability, resentment, frustration and agitation. It occurs in response to the underlying feelings and emotions such as hurt, fear, sense of unfairness or disrespect. These feelings result in the activation and in turn arousal of the sympathetic nervous system, and therefore, the physiological processes of anxiety. When one gets angry, the heart rate and blood pressure go up along with the levels of energy hormones. It is basically the flooding of the adrenaline and cortisol into the system thereby activating the body to flee or fight.
Some of the most common causes of excessive anger
● Depression
● Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
● Bipolar disorder
● Psychotic disorder
● Oppositional disorder
● Anxiety
● Conduct disorder
● Adjustment reaction
Chronic anger has the potential to lead to diseases and ill health in every bodily system vis-à-vis cardio-vascular, musculo-skeletal, gastro-intestinal and auto-immune problems. Even in the workplace, unmanaged can disrupt productivity through low morale, interpersonal conflict and an individual's reduced ability to solve any problem or retain information.
It is essential to learn the techniques to manage one's emotions for which learning to recognize your anger becomes the basic step. Some of the notable physical and emotional signs and symptoms include:
● Headache and stomach ache
● Increased heart rate
● Sweating, especially your palms
● Feeling hot in the neck/face
● Shaking or trembling
● Dizziness
● Irritation
● Depression
● Anxiety
Patients suffering from schizophrenia are often known to be unpredictably aggressive and impulsive. People suffering from paranoid schizophrenia can express extreme anger and hostility towards others as they are often found to be engaged into arguments and make false accusations as a result of the delusions that they experience. This aggressive behavior may occur during both acute and chronic phases of the illness. Another prominent result of anger is the Intermittent Explosive Disorder, commonly known as IED. It is basically a behavioral disorder that is marked by the outbursts of anger and violence inappropriate to the situation. Patients with excessive anger are usually treated with psycho-therapy, psychological counseling and psychiatric evaluation. Some of the ways in which anger may be controlled are mentioned below –
● Cognitive restructuring
● Problem solving
● Better communication
● Using humor
● Changing environment
Anxiety treatment in Kolkata by some of the best and reputed doctors can be of immense help to manage your anger thereby allowing you to lead a healthy life. However, it is to be understood clearly that anger is a part of life and is not necessarily pathological. But it can be problematic and dangerous if not controlled or expressed appropriately.

As anyone who has bought and sold a house knows, deciding to make the move isn't always the hardest part. That goes triple when it's a relocation, as well as a name and logo change. But that's exactly what Christena Ward, OD, did after 15 years in Dillon, CO, as Complete Family Eye Care. "It had gotten tired, and we needed a larger space to accommodate a second optometrist and reduce patient wait times,"she said of the old name and location. Rebranding itself as EyeTech Optometry in nearby Frisco, CO, the new digs are a spacious 3,300-square-foot space with all the bells and whistles of a modern optometric practice. Ward chose the name to reflect her investments in eyecare technology and project a more modern vibe. To kick-start the process, she employed Southpaw Design Studio LLC and lead designer Jeff Cary, who brought over 20 years of design experience to the job.
Cary developed the interior design with Ward's input and created the construction drawings for the project. Starting in July 2016, the project took just 10 months until the grand re-opening in May 2017. "From a design standpoint, all the problems we encountered were limited to minor coordination issues between the as-built drawings of the building shell and the actual building," Cary said. "It's a common occurrence that existing drawings don't exactly match field conditions, but we were able to make small adjustments to the design to take these bumps in stride." Aside from that, the biggest stress according to Ward was "having to constantly make decisions." In the end, though, the finished product was worth it. Ward was especially pleased with the charred cypress wood surrounding the reception desk. To accomplish the desired effect an ancient Japanese wood treatment called shou sugi ban was used. The technique has seen a recent surge in popularity, in part because it avoids using toxic stains and sealants, and it makes the wood fire retardant and resistant to rot, insects and decay. At its heart the floor plan maximizes staff efficiency and enhances the patient experience, such as with the use of Lumicor acrylic panels—with embedded natural grass fibers and a frosted finish—throughout the office. These screens allow natural light to penetrate deeper into the common interior spaces while maintaining patient privacy. The optical dispensary also uses bespoke millwork designs that provide a smart merchandising layout for the retail area that can accommodate specialty equipment while also allowing the flexibility to integrate future technologies. "There are many different wood tones and rustic metallic features in the optical that complement each other in an unexpected way," Ward said.

Small businesses are everywhere and with the newly surged age of startups, the trend continues to grow on a global scale. The success of small businesses has advanced to a point that their influence is shifting the paradigm of achievement. The year 2017 marks the highest rate of success, 79.9% of business startups survive their critical first year in business, which is the lowest percentage of business failure rate in a decade.79.9% of business startups survive their critical first year in business, which is the lowest percentage of business failure rate in a decade.
A new study from the Small Business Association (SBA)has brought small business owners, as well as all who support us a wealth of good news. According to the encouraging survival rate of new businesses, job creation, and the employee retention rate, the SBA has highlighted enormous growth for the collective small business entity.
Survival Rate
Small businesses, or businesses that have less than 500 employees, as per The Office of Advocacy, were a revolving door, often of disappointment, for aspiring entrepreneurs. Small businesses had a high rate of failure that seemed top heavy and insurmountable. Even with a good handle on business and a great idea, many small businesses wouldn't last a year, much less the three, five or ten years that a business' success is gauged by.
However, with this new information released by the SBA, the trend seems to be taking a turn for the better. With 406,000 new businesses starting annually in the US, the survival rate for the is over half. At fifty-one percent, it means that over 203,000 new businesses will continue throughout their first five years.
The second hurdle indicates that thirty-three percent of those businesses will survive for a decade. That means that nearly 67,000 new businesses formed annually will have a legacy of at least a decade.
That is an excellent statistic, considering the seemingly insurmountable odds that have plagued small business over the generations.
That number is no longer a longshot, it's an achievable, quantifiable goal.
Job Creation
Job creation has always been a thorn in the side of the American people. There never seemed to be enough jobs to cover the vast amount of unemployment that inundated the nation.
Thankfully, with the rise of small business success, job creation is also seeing an influx.
According to the SBA, small businesses have created sixty-percent of net new jobs, with over ninety-nine-percent of US firms considered to be a small business.
Now, while this is encouraging, at first glance these numbers seem strange. If there are so many small businesses, shouldn't the small business percentage of jobs be even higher?
The reason this isn't the case, however, is because businesses are always converting their business status. Since the business status is determined by the number of employees a firm has, an increase in employees potentially breaks the business out of the category of becoming a small business; though that is only another indication of success.
Employee Retention
Having a high turnover rate in any business is not something that any business strives for but for small businesses, it can be especially detrimental.
Fortunately, with the number of small business that hire employees reaching over ninety-nine percent, it gives the impression that the employee retention rate is also on the rise.
This comes to no surprise for us, however, since we know that most of the time, working in a small business is far more rewarding than working for a typical corporation. Small businesses are generally a more welcoming and appreciative environment, which makes people want to stay with the business and help it prosper.
To close, this new information from SBA is wonderful encouragement, not only for the small businesses owners but also for the communities they serve.

Texans can gamble and cruise out of the Gulf Coast again
Texan gamblers now have an alternative option that doesn't involve a trip to Eagle Pass or out of state – it's located less than three hours away from San Antonio in Port Aransas.
The Aransas Queen Casino Ship is departing from the Gulf Coast starting Tuesday. It's the only casino on water currently operating in the Lone Star State since the Texas Treasures boat stopped sailing in 2008, a representative said. The maiden voyage for the Pride of Texas, formerly named "Texas Gold Nugget," was set for earlier this year but has been delayed until August.
The "luxuriously appointed" 155-foot, triple-deck boat will sail every day of the week, according to the website.
RELATED: Vintage photographs from Port Aransas portray early life of a budding vacation spot
The first deck is where gamblers will find the majority of the almost 200 slot machines as well as a fully-stocked bar. Appetites for roulette, poker, blackjack, baccarat as well as food can be fulfilled on the second deck, where table games and a buffet are situated. Players can find a break from the gambling on the lounge deck, with another bar.
According to the site, the floating casino will also features a sports book.
The ship holds approximately 300 players, KRIS TV reported. Daytime and evening sail times are offered for $27. Reservations can be booked online.

Technology does wonderful things to help make our daily lives better. Our phones keep us connected to family and friends, our smart TVs keep us up to date with our latest shows, and your Envision software helps you run your business effectively.
However, there are always people out there trying to use technology to make your life more difficult. Viruses, Trojans, Malware, Ransomware – these are all terms you may have heard before. It only takes a nasty one of these to cause a lot of trouble and headaches. So here are some tips to help you stay ahead of the game and ensure you're protected.
1. Backup your data
Make daily backups of your data. This is a standard practice with most software. Envision allows you to run backups to a local drive directly through the software. It's always a good idea to make backups to a cloud service or an external drive. There are many ways to backup your PC's files. Check with your local tech to make sure your data is being secured.
2. Be wary of suspicious emails
Email attachments or images are often the most common way that malicious programs end up on your PC. Do not open emails from addresses you don't recognize or are not expecting. Many email providers turn off displaying images from unrecognized emails, because even images can be coded to download malicious files.
3. Limit non-business related use on your server PC
Your server PC, or PC where the database is installed on, is the most important one to keep protected. If at all possible, it's best to limit this PC to only business related functions. Avoid using things like Facebook, Email, iTunes, ect on this PC. You can also check with your local tech about setting up security profiles in Windows.
4. Keep your software up to date
Many malicious programs like to prey on unpatched software that they've had time to find openings or issues in. Companies like Microsoft roll out updates to cover and correct any issues that may come up. This is especially important in regards to your security software. Most security software updates regularly to keep current with the latest ways that people are trying to affect your PC.

please enjoy and please fell free to comment below :D
<3 Dinocorn27 (Bianca)
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Materials
What you will need:
1 Loom Board
1 Loom Hook or Crochet Hook
Loom Bands
1 S or C Clip
Step 2: Base
Make sure our board is thee right way first. The arrows should be pointing upwards.
Start creating the base by placing your bands to the pin in front of them. (The pictures make more sense)
Continue until you have reached the top of your loom.
Step 3: Triangles
Turn your loom bard around so the arrows are pointing towards you.
Start creating you triangles using 1 colour. I chose white.
Do not add a last triangle.
You should finish on the second last of each loom rod.
Step 4: Looming
Start to on the bands to the pins in front of them.
Continue this until you have reached the end.
Step 5: Pulling It Off
Before you pull it off, move the bands on the last left pin to the central pin. Do this for the right side as well.
Take a single band (the colour that you used for triangles.
Stick your hook through the bands on central pin and hook the band through,
Don't entirely pull the band through, pull it just enough where you can grab the other side if thee elastic in the bottom and hook it onto the hook as well.
Gently pull it off.
Step 6: Extension
Firstly, replace the hook with two fingers and add a c or s clip to secure one end of the band..
for the extension you will only need 1 rod.
Make sure the rod is the right way up.
Start to make an extension. I only used 4 because i have a small/medium wrist.
Turn the loom around.
Put that on the closest band towards you.
Start looming it to the band towards you. make sure for the first one, you do not gt the bracelet, instead you get the band below it.
Gently pull it off and secure with s or c clip.
Step 7: Finished
Enjoy your new Triple Single Rainbow Loom Bracelet.

To produce an executable file, we
must tell the compiler not only where to find our main function but
also where to find the definition of the member functions defined by the Sales_item
class. Let's assume that we have two files: main.cc, which contains the
definition of main, and Sales_item.cc, which contains the Sales_item
member functions. We might compile these files as follows:
$ CC -c main.cc Sales_item.cc # by default generates a.exe
# some compilers generate a.out
# puts the executable in main.exe
$ CC -c main.cc Sales_item.cc -o main
where $ is our system
prompt and # begins a command-line comment. We can now run the
executable file, which will run our main program.
If we have only changed one of
our .cc source files, it is more efficient to recompile only the file
that actually changed. Most compilers provide a way to separately compile each
file. This process usually yields a .o file, where the .o
extension implies that the file contains object code.
The compiler lets us link
object files together to form an executable. On the system we use, in which the
compiler is invoked by a command named CC, we would compile our program
as follows:
$ CC -c main.cc # generates main.o
$ CC -c Sales_item.cc # generates Sales_item.o
$ CC main.o Sales_item.o # by default generates a.exe;
# some compilers generate a.out
# puts the executable in main.exe
$ CC main.o Sales_item.o -o main
You'll need to check with your
compiler's user's guide to understand how to compile and execute programs made
up of multiple source files.

Bumetanide is a drug used to treat fluid retention caused by conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver disease.
It's sometimes also given to people with high blood pressure.
This prescription medication was once sold under the trade name Bumex, but that brand is no longer available.
Bumetanide belongs to a class of drugs called diuretics, also called water pills. It works by helping the kidneys rid the body of excess water and salt.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved bumetanide in 1983. It's marketed by various pharmaceutical companies.
Bumetanide contains a black box warning because it can cause dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance.
Tell your doctor right away if you experience the following symptoms while taking bumetanide:
Bumetanide may cause you to urinate more often, which increases the risk of dehydration.
Drink plenty of fluids while using this medicine. Ask your doctor how much you should consume each day.
Your healthcare provider may recommend that you follow a low-salt or high-potassium diet while you're taking bumetanide. Follow these instructions carefully.
Let your doctor know you're taking this drug before having any medical or dental procedure.
Before starting on bumetanide, tell your doctor if you have, or have ever had:
Your doctor will want to perform frequent tests to check your body's response to bumetanide.
Keep all appointments with your healthcare provider and laboratory.
It's not known whether bumetanide could harm a fetus if taken during pregnancy.
Tell your doctor if you're pregnant, or might become pregnant, while using this medicine.
It's also not known whether bumetanide passes into breast milk. Don't breastfeed while taking this drug.
Tell your doctor if any of the following side effects become severe or don't go away:
Call your doctor immediately if you experience any symptoms listed in the Bumetanide Warnings section above, or any of the following serious side effects:
Tell your doctor about all prescription, nonprescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you're taking, especially:
Bumetanide comes as a tablet to take by mouth, or as an injection that's given by a medical professional.
Your dose will depend on your condition and response to treatment.
The tablets are usually taken once a day, but depending on your medical needs, they may be taken more often, or given as just a one-time treatment.
Follow the instructions on your prescription label carefully. Don't take more or less bumetanide than is recommended.
Continue to take this medicine even if you feel well. Don't stop taking it without first talking to your doctor.
Symptoms of a bumetanide overdose may include:
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can get in touch with a poison control center at 800-222-1222.
If you're taking this medicine regularly and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
But if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular medication schedule.
Don't take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

Meet LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT), Creator of the Most Comprehensive Logistics Solution The Sector Desperately Needs
Hidden beneath the booming retail economy that's seen e-commerce sales double over the last five years is what some call the lifeblood of the economy—LOGISTICS.
Shipping products to customers, while tracking the shipments, monitoring inventories, and minimizing losses and disruptions is big business. Last year, the third-party logistics (3PL) market grew 10.5% to $184.3 billion in the US alone[1].
At the forefront of the next industrial revolution in logistics management is LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT), which is aiming to capture 1% of this massive 3PL market. The company is making its move on the sector through its disruptive and innovative software platform 1Shift, which is designed to benefit brokers, shippers, and carriers.
The industry is changing rapidly, with plenty of new entrants trying to "uberify" trucking.
The result has been a flood of investment into the sector to the tune of over $1 billion in 2017.
Start-ups such as Convoy have already reached billion-dollar valuations in a short-time span. In order to remain competitive, many of the sector's traditional players are also attempting to digitize their operations. The result has been a fragmentation, with 23% of the market now using brokers to manage their freight.
Targeting this opportunity, LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) has developed a simple, powerful and painless solution with 1Shift to drive just-in-time supply chains and create end-to-end efficiency. The company's ultimate goal is to enable brokers, shippers, and carriers to manage their loads, bill of ladings, contracts, disputes and support all through a single unified platform with artificial intelligence and biometric technology.
There's a great need for solutions in the logistics industry, as the growth of the sector has also presented a series of "pain points" that need to be resolved.
Rescuing Manufacturers and Retailers From 'Delivery Logistics Hell'
Sorry, we've gone from production hell to delivery logistics hell, but this problem is far more tractable. We're making rapid progress. Should be solved shortly.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 17, 2018
Connecting manufacturers and retailers to their customers is crucial to keeping businesses across the continent thriving.
However, the reality is that something as simple as getting a load from Point A to Point B, can and does go catastrophically wrong.
One doesn't need to look further than the woes of Tesla Motors. Chairman and CEO, Elon Musk has dubbed his company's latest speedbumps as "delivery logistics hell".
Nightmares have begun to surface, with customers seeing their purchases sitting idle on train station platforms—All while giving the competition a chance to catch up on market share, and damaging the delayed company's reputation.
These disruptions trickle all the way down through the transaction line. Online sellers stand to potentially lose nearly $7,000 per customer that defects to another site.
These problems also harm drivers, as disputes over arrival times, shipment quantities and many other factors harm their bottom line as well. For instance, a truck waiting in line to drop off its load at a major store can get penalized heavily for lateness, all because its loading door is occupied. The system requires more transparency, and honesty on all sides to help reduce losses and confusion.
Frustration causes many of the bigger players to try and take the problems in-house—complete with costly and time-consuming setbacks and challenges.
Players big and small in the market are waiting for an answer, and LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) appears to have a solution that could help them all.
LiteLink Has FIVE Strategic Advantages That Set It Apart Amid a Massive Logistics Sector
If LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) comes close to its target of capturing 1% of the 3PL market, the projected revenues are potentially massive. By utilizing state-of-the-art A.I. and Blockchain components of in its signature 1Shift platform, the company has a serious chance to disrupt the sector and achieve its goals.
LiteLink's goal is to put transparency back into software, allowing users everywhere to cut out middlemen, saving margins in the process.
The 1Shift platform gives LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) a significant investment proposal available to a market that's paying attention to the massive 3PL market in play.
1Shift Provides A Sleek Solution To One Of The Biggest Economic Problems Today
Many headaches are incurred between a warehouse and customer, especially for drivers.
In the case of brick-and-mortar giant Walmart, drivers are fined whenever they are deemed as "late". However, in many cases, drivers lose time and income when they have to dispute these lateness penalties, regardless of truth or fault—drivers are often stuck behind another truck.
The costs of these disputes, delays, and penalties effects everyone down the line, right to the customer.
LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) has the potential end these disputes with 1Shift, thus alleviating much of the tension between carriers and receivers.
1Shift enables trustless interfacing between shippers, truckers, and 3rd party logistics companies. By implementing its A.I. "brain" 1Shift reduces human error, paperwork, and downtime involved in the logistics industries.
By collecting and validating data on a blockchain, 1Shift enables trustless business to take place. It focuses on offering a "load management system" rather than a full "transportation management system".
Not only can 1Shift reduce tension, but it perhaps, more importantly, can help plan routes and shipments in perhaps the most convenient method available. 1Shift gives future truckers and shippers the ability to process and optimize data points, which can optimize their deliveries, saving on fuel and choosing the most affordable option.
The system is based on 1Shift's A.I.-based data collection that combines multiple data points, including: drive time, location, bill of lading details, receiving bay details, weather, and more.
With $195.8 Billion Yearly Revenues in 3PLs Alone Logistics is HUGE Money
For its size, the logistics industry is grossly overlooked by many in the market—However, it's an industry you'll want to familiarize yourself with and be a part of.
With magnates such as Elon Musk bemoaning the reality of how complicated shipping products to customers can be, investment is pouring into the sector to alleviate the problem.
There's plenty of market to share. Last year, the third-party logistics (3PL) market grew 10.5% to $184.3 billion in the US alone.
With 1Shift, LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) is bringing technical solutions to a non-technical industry—revolutionizing the logistics industry in the process. Given its ease of use, and low-cost implementation, 1Shift has a shot at widespread adoption.
There is MASSIVE DEMAND in the logistics industry for this solution.
1Shift Is THE MOST Comprehensive Logistics Solution Available
Perhaps the biggest advantage that LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) has over its competition, is its complete package of features on 1Shift. By combining all of them together, the platform is a GAME CHANGER for 3PLs, shippers and brokers.
1Shift is a unified app that benefits both shippers and brokers. Backed by innovative A.I.-Driven analytics, the platform excels in solving issues others aren't even trying to address.
Perhaps one of the fanciest and most unique features is that of its A.I. document recognition. Many receiving transactions such as a bill of ladings involve signatures, and handwritten notes upon delivery. With 1Shift the user can input handwritten notes, which the system can read, and translate into regular text.
By utilizing a blockchain data sharing system, disputes will become a thing of the past. All parties will be able to see what's happening in real-time, with immutable accuracy.
But ultimately, the most impressive features for the user will come in the analytics. Getting feedback on routes, warnings on delays, and being able to share data between all parties is beneficial to everyone involved. The result should be a heightened interest in adoption—which results in more revenue for LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT).
1Shift is projected to start generating revenue in March 2019. More importantly, the platform is expected to hit its cash-flow inflection point in November 2019—marking what could be seen as a rapid turnaround time within an industry used to high input costs.
Once that point is met, 1Shift is projected to truly take off—more than quadrupling its gross profit from under $4 million in 2019, to nearly $16.5 million in 2020, before ballooning to nearly $134 million by only 2023.

Investors Are Already Pouring Millions Into Logistics Startups
CapitalG, the growth equity arm of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), recently led a $185 million round in tech-enabled trucking network Convoy. With that round, Convoy's total raised to $265 million and values the company at $1 billion.
Another popular app in the driver community is Trucker Path, which was purchased in January 2018 by Chinese social media site Renren. After a series of funding round with Renren contributing, the CEO of Trucker Path stated the value of the company at more than $100 million.
Uber Freight's run rate will hit $500 million in 2018 with a valuation sitting at $72 billion back in February.
There is a growing desire to "uberify" the freight industry.
Technology is where LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) has an overwhelming advantage over its competitors. Compared to competition such as Cargo Chief, or Freightera, 1Shift offers so much more. Among the exclusive features that 1Shift brings which the others don't are A.I. Document Recognition; Blockchain Dispute Resolution, Biometrics, and are deliverable on a Mobile App.
Cargo Chief has ELD Integration (which Freightera doesn't), and Freightera has Ratings and Real Time Payments (which Cargo Chief Doesn't).
Source: LiteLink Technologies Inc (Based on website analysis conducted on October 31st, 2018)
Where the most attention should be given, is the current valuation of LiteLink Technologies versus some of its competitors who are either private, or are valued at much, much higher market caps, despite not bringing the same benefits to the table:
Feature Company
LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT)
Mkt Cap: CAD $28.42 million
LiteLink's goal is to put transparency back into software, allowing users everywhere to cut out middlemen, while saving margins in the process. The vast array of features on the company's signature 1Shift product outweigh their competitors. By focusing on a load management system, rather than a full transportation management system. The block-chain based logistics software is designed to enable trustless interfacing between shippers, truckers, and 3PL companies.
Positive Comparables
Convoy (Private)
Mkt Cap: More than $1 Billion
Convoy's valuation crossed $1 billion, after receiving significant investment from Alphabet Inc. in September 2018. The Seattle-based company was founded in 2015, and connects shippers with nearby carriers in order to book jobs in real time. Total funding to date is $265.5 million.
J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT)
Mkt Cap: $11.881 billion
JB Hunt is the second largest trucking company in the United States with more than 100,000 trailers, over 12,000 tractors, and employs 22,000 people. Due to its large size, JB Hunt has a lot to offer truckers and shippers with their new 360 app. While not as fancy as many others in the space, the advantage of the 360 app comes from sheer load volume.
Uber Freight
Mkt Cap: Private
Taking the popular Uber app's algorithm, Uber Freight books freight by pricing out routes, and allows companies to pay for shipping through the app. Given the name notoriety, Uber has attracted small carriers, individual truckers and owner-operators to pick up freight and run their business.
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHRW)
Mkt Cap: $12.21 billion
This massive 3PL has created two apps to help its carriers: a fleet management app; and an app for drivers. C.H. Robinson offers what they call their Carrier Advantage Program, but the rewards for carriers that haul with them regularly are not very significant. What they offer are slightly lower fees for quickpay, getting access to loads sooner than others. The company is more focused on being a regular 3PL, rather than a digital freight broker (DFB).
Top 5 Reasons Why LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) Is The One To Watch:
- 1
1Shift Provides Real Solutions: Delays, disputes, and other headaches are causing major economic repercussions that are passed on to the consumer. LiteLink's system enables trustless interfacing between shippers, truckers, and 3PLs.
- 2
Logistics is HUGE Money: With one of the most advanced platforms in 1Shift, LiteLink Technologies Inc. CSE:LLT is aiming for a 1% market share of the massive $195.8 billion annual 3PL market.
- 3
The Most Comprehensive Logistics Solution Available: Scanning over the comprehensive features list for 1Shift versus its competitors shows it's not even close. Users gravitate to platforms that are easy-to-use, affordable to integrate, and that increase their margins.
- 4
Rockstar Management Team & Advisory Board: Led by technology product heavyweight, CEO Ashik Karim, LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) has amassed a top-tier team to oversee its growth. Beyond the management team is also a Logistics Executive Advisory Team that includes Gary Sooch, Tyson Smith, and Gurj Basi, who bring an array of experience across the logistics industry with some of the sector's biggest players.
- 5
Investors Pouring Millions Into Logistics Startups: When the market is throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at platforms like Convoy and Trucker Path, it's becoming apparent that LiteLink Technologies (CSE:LLT) has the tools to attract similar attention, and a strategy to grow to hundreds of millions in revenue by 2023.

On behalf of Mebyon Kernow – the Party for Cornwall, I have responded to an Office of National Statistics (ONS) consultation about the content of the 2021 census.
The representation was as follows:
"The 2021 Census – Initial view on content for England and Wales" – consultation
I am writing on behalf of Mebyon Kernow – the Party for Cornwall (MK) concerning the above consultation. In particular, we wish to focus our representations on the initial view of the Office of National Statistics (ONS) on the questions relating to ethnicity and national identity; namely that they be included, unaltered, in the 2021 census.
MK is extremely disappointed that the ONS has failed to include the option of Cornish within the relevant tickboxes, even through the Cornish were recognised as a national minority through the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities in April 2014.
The ONS will recall that the Government, in making the announcement, stated:
"The decision to recognise the unique identity of the Cornish, now affords them the same status under the European Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities as the UK's other Celtic people, the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish."
This was a landmark ruling, which it would be unjust and illogical for the ONS to ignore. It is clear to us that the ethnicity and national identity questions on the 2021 census must therefore treat the Cornish in the same manner as the "UK's other Celtic people, the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish."
National identity
In the 2011 census, question 16: "what is your ethnic group?" included the option of "English / Welsh / Scottish / Northern Irish / British." It is our view that, now the Cornish are recognised as a national minority, the question on ethnicity in the 2021 census should also acknowledge those individuals who wish to record their identity as Cornish.
MK would further add that in the 2011 census a total of 83,499 people from across Cornwall, England and Wales, used "write in" options to self-identify as Cornish. Within Cornwall itself, 73,200 people described themselves as Cornish on the form, equating to 13.8% of the population. This is comparable in statistical terms to the 14% of people in Wales who wrote-in Welsh in the 2001 census, prior to the inclusion of a "Welsh" tickbox in 2011.
It is our view that the case for a tickbox for "Cornish" is overwhelming. It would provide parity between all national minorities within the United Kingdom and give greater value to the overall statistics.
Cornish language
Mebyon Kernow notes that the ONS is also stating that, in Wales, it intends to collect information on the usage of the Welsh language. We are disappointed that there are no proposals to include a question on the usage of the Cornish language in Cornwall.
We would point out that the Cornish language is protected through the auspices of the Charter for the Protection of Regional and Minority Languages, and it would therefore be illogical not to collect data relating to the language.
Further information
We believe that the points we have raised need to be addressed and would be willing to arrange a delegation to meet with representatives of the ONS to discuss the issues in more detail.

Hi, I'm Tomo.
Let's look at how Paysafe can provide your business with working capital.
*Final value based upon application approval. Certain terms and conditions may apply. Typical transactions will occur within 3-10 calendar days; depending on the cash advance application's responsiveness in providing documentation.
**Funding time calculation reflects timing from funding approval to initiation of ACH funds transfer. Settlement of funds to business's bank account may take additional time depending on the receiving bank.
Paysafe CapitalTM does not provide loans or extensions of credit. A merchant cash advance (MCA) is not a loan, but a true purchase of a merchant's future credit card receivables. This type of merchant financing is repaid over time using a percentage of a merchant's daily credit and debit card receivables. In an MCA transaction, there is no guarantee of "repayment," such as those associated with loan financing, and business owners do not guarantee the delivery of the purchased receivables nor do they pledge personal collateral to secure such an obligation.

TEHACHAPI, Calif. – Firefighters Wednesday braced for strong afternoon winds at the sites of two wildfires north of Los Angeles that have burned about 40 homes, threatened at least 150 more and forced about 2,300 people to evacuate.
The two blazes in mostly rural Kern County remained out of control after scorching more than 26 square miles of hilly pine forests and chaparral.
A blaze that erupted Tuesday 10 miles southeast of Tehachapi destroyed 30 to 40 homes and threatened the remaining 150 homes in the tiny community of Old West Ranch.
Homes in the eastern foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains were smoldering early Wednesday, with one structure appearing to have collapsed in on itself. A singed wooden banister was the only piece of the home left standing. A whitish-yellow haze of smoke covered the blackened ground of the apparently deserted town.
About 250 firefighters from several agencies were battling the 1,230-acre blaze, along with water-dropping aircraft. Crews worked through the night to bulldoze fire lines and burn firebreaks.
The fire about 70 miles north of Los Angeles was moving away from the mix of mobile homes and large new stucco houses. However, the flames leapfrogged through the area, leaving patches of smoldering brush and logs that could blaze up if winds pick up, county fire Battalion Chief David Goodell said.
In northern Kern County, a wildfire that started Monday in Sequoia National Forest burned about 15,600 acres, or about 24 square miles, and was only 5 percent surrounded. The fire destroyed six homes. No other homes were immediately threatened Wednesday morning.
The good news was that mornings and evenings remained cool, moist and calm at both fires, but the winds were expected to increase by midday, said Jeff Barlow, a senior forecaster with the National Weather Service in Hanford.
The winds sweep up and down steep slopes in the area, especially near the Tehachapi area, which is dotted with wind farms.
The winds rise as the sun burns off a dewy inversion layer of cooler air, and that could cause the fires to flare up, Barlow said.
"It's like opening a flue to a fireplace and that's when you see these things really run," he said.
Large fires also create drafts by drawing air into the flames, he said.
In the Tehachapi, years of drought, along with tree diseases and bugs among the foothills' pine and chaparral, have turned the area into a "tinderbox," Goodell said.
Wyant Winsor, 52, a delivery driver for the local school district, was working on property he owns in Old West Ranch when he saw the first smoke at about 2:20 p.m. Tuesday. He watched as it grew rapidly over the next half hour.
When the fire department told him to evacuate, he parked his tractor in a clearing and made a run for it.
"Hopefully it'll be OK," he said with a nervous laugh.
Winsor said he and a friend drove down the road through the fire with flames lapping at his truck on both sides. They were barely able to see the road in front of them through the smoke.
Trace Robie, who lives on Old West Ranch, said the fire grew very quickly and spread through the dry brush, old oaks and pines on the steep hillside.
She grabbed a handful of clothes, her dogs, her cat, a dish to give her pets water and her purse. "I always said I'd grab my photo albums but there was no time. I didn't even think about it," she said.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency for Kern County on Tuesday, freeing up state resources to battle the fires.
Meanwhile, firefighters made progress early Wednesday against the largest of more than 150 lighting-sparked fires in Northern California. The 250-acre blaze east of Straylor Lake in the Lassen National Forest was expected to be fully contained by the end of the day, said Daniel Berlant, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Berlant said winds were expected to be gusty, but the threat of more thunderstorms has passed.
An additional 187 fires were burning in other remote parts of Lassen County and in Plumas, Siskiyou, Shasta and Modoc counties.
Most of those fires were less than an acre and have been fully contained, Berlant said. They have consumed about 650 acres.

Last December's United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia, injected fresh enthusiasm into global efforts to reduce industrial emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for causing climate change. All the major U.S. presidential candidates argue that the United States should adopt a national scheme to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They also agree that the United States should participate in the global "Bali Roadmap" process intended to work out a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, whose commitments expire in 2012. But national lawmakers and policy-makers entrusted with working out the details face a tricky question: how to compel domestic industries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions when competing industries abroad may be subjected to less stringent emissions requirements - or none at all.
Part of the answer appears to be trade regulation, which is emerging as a mechanism of choice to address such competitive concerns and as a lever to attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a globally coordinated fashion. However, it is far from clear if the ambitious trade mechanisms under consideration comply or conflict with current trading rules. This article surveys some of the main areas where climate change and international trade regulation are converging or, in some cases, colliding - with significant implications for a wide range of industries that move goods across borders.
Domestic Legislation - Regulating Imports To Ensure Fair Competition
Of the various recent legislative proposals that would reduce U.S. emissions of greenhouse gasses, the most prominent is the America's Climate Security Act of 2007 ("ACSA"), S. 2191, introduced by Senators Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and John Warner (R-VA) in October 2007. ACSA would establish a national emissions cap on six greenhouse gases, including CO2, over the period 2012 through 2050, and would institute mechanisms for the allocation of emissions allowances to a range of covered U.S. greenhouse gas-emitting industries. Recognizing the adverse competitive effects that could result to U.S. manufacturing industries competing against foreign industries not subject to such measures - often referred to as the "carbon leakage" problem - ACSA would also require the administration to urge other countries to adopt comparable measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
But also recognizing that a globally coordinated approach to reducing greenhouse gases may not occur, ACSA would, as of 2020, require importers of greenhouse gas-intensive products to declare to U.S. Customs and Border Protection either that (1) the imported goods are covered by special international allowances created under ACSA, or (2) the exporting country is one deemed under ACSA to have taken measures to reduce greenhouse gases comparable to those taken by the United States. The import provisions expressly cover greenhouse gas-intensive manufactured goods such as steel, cement, glass and paper, and would extend to any products that generate, in the course of manufacture, greenhouse gas emissions "comparable" to the expressly covered products. Thus, ACSA has the obvious potential to impose very substantial compliance costs on U.S. importers of a wide range of manufactured goods, and seems certain to alter the competitive balance between U.S. and foreign firms supplying the covered products to the U.S. market.
The trade provisions of ACSA raise the question of U.S. compliance with obligations under the World Trade Organization ("WTO"). The debate centers around the interpretation of Article XX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT"), which allows WTO members to take discriminatory action against imports where "necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health" - but only where such action does not constitute "arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination" or represent a disguised trade restriction. This is as close as the WTO Agreements come to permitting trade restrictions based on climate change mitigation. Accordingly, U.S. lawmakers are carefully watching the development of WTO jurisprudence on GATT Article XX.
In the most recent case, involving a Brazilian ban on imports of retreaded tires, the WTO Appellate Body found that, while Brazil's import ban by itself constituted a permissible means of protecting human health, the fact that Brazil also permitted imports of retreaded tires from neighboring MERCOSUR countries resulted in trade discrimination that was not rationally connected to the human health objective of the import ban. Because of this absence of a rational connection between the objective of the import ban and the manner in which it was applied, the import ban did not satisfy the narrow GATT Article XX test. This most recent WTO decision - in particular the rational connection test applied by the Appellate Body - provides an important roadmap for U.S. lawmakers crafting climate change legislation, but by no means answers whether ACSA or other such legislation, once implemented, would pass the GATT Article XX test. The answer matters, because a loss at the WTO could mean that U.S. trading partners receive substantial retaliation rights.
The European Union ("EU") is also contemplating unilateral trade measures that could restrict imports as part of its ambitious drive to reduce carbon emissions across a wide range of industries by 20 percent by 2020. EU leaders such as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso have repeatedly referred to the possibility of imposing a carbon tax or allowance requirement (similar to the measure contemplated by ACSA) on imports from countries that are not in compliance with Kyoto Protocol emission reduction requirements. These suggestions have drawn strong criticism from U.S. trade officials, who warn that these proposals could facilitate WTO-inconsistent trade protectionism under the guise of environmental protection.
World Trade Organization - Green Trade And Environmental Exceptions
The WTO is grappling with the intersection of trade law and climate change on several fronts. One is the ongoing negotiations toward an Agreement on Trade in Environmental Goods and Services. The mandate for these negotiations, set out in the 2001 WTO Doha Declaration, is the "reduction or, as appropriate, elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers to environmental goods and services." When originally conceived, this mandate did not expressly include climate change. Nor did it provide any guidance on what goods and services should be deemed "environmental." But the United States and many other WTO members now view a multilateral Agreement on Trade in Environmental Goods and Services as an important tool in combating climate change, and state that this effort complements the process under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ("UNFCCC").
The basic principle animating the WTO Environmental Goods and Services talks is that trade liberalization for environmental goods and services - e.g., wind turbines and the engineering services required to install and maintain them - will accelerate progress towards common goals such as climate change mitigation. This sector-specific approach to opening foreign markets could present significant opportunities for U.S. businesses exporting environmental technologies to markets such as India, where import duties remain far above the global average.
However, a major rift recently opened up in these talks that brings into doubt any successful conclusion in the near future. Not surprisingly, the debate centers on which goods and services should be considered "environmental." Since late 2007, Brazil has been advocating strenuously for the inclusion of biofuels in the negotiations. According to Brazil, the inclusion of biofuels would ensure that developing countries can increase exports of a good in which they have a comparative advantage, and would advance another chief goal of the Doha Round - that trade liberalization serve the development process. The United States and the European Union have balked at this proposal, instead urging in a joint proposal of December 2007 that the talks be divided into phases, with priority given to trade liberalization for a specified range of technologies related to climate change mitigation and clean energy (not including biofuel). As of this writing, the talks are at an impasse over this issue.
Trends And Observations
Several trends can be discerned as trade and climate change law converge and collide, as discussed above. One is that the political will to sharply reduce greenhouse gases - at least in the United States and the EU - is strong and intensifying. The major U.S. presidential candidates all support the implementation of a national cap-and-trade system to reduce greenhouse gases, and all support U.S. participation in the UNFCCC process. In this political environment, trade law seems to be secondary - i.e., it is useful as a tool to promote climate change mitigation in a manner that ensures that the costs of compliance are shared by domestic and foreign industries. But if U.S. unilateral measures to curb greenhouse gases are found to conflict with WTO trade rules or spur trade retaliation from major U.S. trading partners, the current political environment also suggests that this would be seen as a tolerable cost of addressing what Sen. Baucus has called "the moral imperative to deal with climate change."
The trade-and-climate-change debate is also expanding the notion of what constitutes "unfair" trade. For decades, international trade law, as reflected in both the WTO system and the domestic law of most trading nations, has recognized that pricing imports below certain levels (whether due to "dumping" by foreign exporters or subsidies provided by foreign governments) is a form of "unfair" trade that should be redressed where it harms domestic industries. This notion of unfair trade is based purely on how an imported product is priced. Climate change concerns are now expanding the notion of unfair trade to take into account how imported products are made - specifically, the volume and nature of the greenhouse gases associated with their manufacture. Legislative proposals like ACSA would, in essence, dictate that the price of U.S. imports reflect the externalized environmental costs of greenhouse gas emissions. Just as U.S. antidumping law provides a remedy to domestic manufacturers that must compete against unfairly low-priced, or "dumped," imports, ACSA would provide a remedy to domestic manufacturers that must compete against imports that were manufactured under less stringent greenhouse gas emissions standards - in other words, a remedy against environmental dumping.
Finally, the climate change and trade debate pits multilateralism against unilateralism. The UNFCCC process - the current aim of which is to flesh out the Bali Roadmap with specific goals for a post-Kyoto Protocol agreement - embodies a globally coordinated approach to share the burdens on industry associated with reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. However, the modalities of the burden-sharing have yet to be determined, and it remains unclear how much of the burden developing countries will accept. The less they do, the greater will be the pressure on U.S. and EU lawmakers to ensure, through unilateral trade measures, that their industries are protected from imports produced under less vigorous emissions standards. Political realism suggests that trade mechanisms will be tools of choice in this effort - whether or not they comply with current trade rules.
