Extract from warehouse receipt system
ACE has advocated for a Warehouse
Receipt System (WRS) as an integral part of agricultural trade and
financing since its incorporation in 2005. There is a substantial
need in the market for a system that will reduce risk of
contract/performance defaults in agricultural trade and also
facilitate competitive financing with agricultural commodities as
collateral. Malawi does not have a regulatory framework for
warehouse receipts, so the system has to built on a contractual
relationship between depositors, storage operators, financial
institutions, and ACE. The success of the WRS is very much
dependent on the active involvement from all participants and this
is why it took 6 years before the first warehouse receipt (WR) was
issued, financed and traded in Malawi.
In 2011 ACE registered the GSL silos in Kanengo, Lilongwe as the
first WRS storage facility. The GSL facility has a capacity of
12000 MT and it was open to deposits from any interested third
party. OIBM was the first bank to confirm that they were willing to
finance a WR. OIBM proposed to finance 60% of the value at 20% pa
or 70% at 22% pa. These rates are very attractive to the small
scale sector and ACE promoted this opportunity, as a way for them
to receive financing, retain ownership of the maize and thereby
enable them to sell the maize at a time when the market is more
attractive than it is immediately after harvest.
High moisture content made it
difficult for GSL to take early deposits, but many of the
sensitised depositors could not wait and unfortunately sold their
maize before it could be deposited. Only on the 2nd of August 2011,
was GSL able to issue the first WR to Mr Chikasu of Bucow
investment, Mchinji. The deposit was 14.5 MT, Maize, ACE Grade 1
(same as NFRA grade). Mr Chikasu was later to make more deposits
and increased the WR to 44 MT. With the WR Mr Chikasu accessed
financing and later split the WR in 2, one was sold to WFP and the
other to a trader. Mr Chikasu could market his WR from a position
of strength because GSL was guaranteeing the quantity and
When Mr Chikasu sold his WR, the buyer
deposited the contract value to the ACE settlement account.
ACE settled the outstanding financing and storage cost, transferred
ownership of the WR to the buyer and gave Mr Chikasu the balance.
On that deal Mr Chikasu received a 72% increased income after all
cost were deducted, compared to the market price prevailing when he
deposited the maize. The buyer later went to pick up the maize at
GSL and the WR was cancelled.
The benefit for the small scale sector
is obvious and ACE anticipates that available third party storage
capacity will soon become scarce as more depositors look to utilise
space to improve their incomes. But the WRS will also add
value to the large commercial operator. As the volume increases the
WRS will become a very attractive vehicle for the flow of easy
accessible competitive agricultural financing. Also, WR's from
Malawi can be promoted regionally and internationally as a secure
instrument, attracting more buyers and perhaps even agricultural
investors and speculators that will ensure better prices of
Malawian commodities secured on WRs.

Now Really Is The Time… To Save Animals, Ourselves, Life.October 5, 2011 at 8:18 AM | Posted in "Thanking The Monkey.", A Conscious Life, and Actions, Animal Testing Hurts Animals and People, Be an Advocate for our Animals, Be Something, Hospice For Animals At Angels Gate, Nazi-ism in Animal Testing is For REAL, NO MORE Animals in the Circus!, Reject The Bloody Fur Trade Today, Stop The Wasted Tax Dollars on Animal Vivisection, Take Action For Animals, Uncategorized | 3 Comments
Tags: Angels Gate Sanctuary, NO MORE LIES FROM FUR WHORES, Take Action For Wildlife and Domestic Animals., Thanking The Monkey
This weeks show: Animal Reverence. We need to take action now for all life. Originally Broadcast on October 1, 2011, now available on the Archives Section of this Blog.
Part I: My interview with Author, Journalist Karen Dawn, who wrote the now world renowned book, "Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking The Way We Treat Animals." THANKING THE MONKEY
"And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one small creature makes a void in any heart, so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of vast Eternity can fill it up." — Charles Dickens
To say that the act of wrongful practices within what is dubiously termed "scientific research" involving animal testing is harmful to both humans and to the entire animal world is an understatement. This is a heinous practice that took hold during the Third Reich reign in Europe, as mad scientists were testing their chemical warfare and other diabolical inventions on both the human prisoners and on animals.
Why has the U.S. Government not bothered to ask the simple question of whether or not this junk science is worthy of billions of hard earned tax dollars… and even safe to rely upon? What about the ETHICAL questions of gruesome testing habits and horrifying practices? Where do these questions ever get asked or responded to in public Debates or interviews?
Why the silence from compliant, under-educated Media talking heads who know nothing about this shameful waste of money and life?
Animal Experiments Are, Indeed, Horrifying, Evil, Worthless and Nazi Science. This is a photo of inside a lab at Primate Products, Inc….. Obama gave tax money to them under the last \'stimulus\' and created only more suffering, harm, and horror.
Is this acceptable, reasonable, or even progressive? How can every single elected member to both the Congress and the Senate turn a blind eye to this horrifying waste of tax payer money and of innocent living beings? The suffering is evident. The lies and deception are unmistakable. So why the ignorance continued?
One of the best blogs/websites that clearly explains the horrors that have got to immediately be addressed publicly is this one: Great Website on Animal Suffering Explained To Motivate Humans To Take ACTION
Why would anyone STILL be so ugly, ignorant, downright stupid and pathetic to still wear a fur skin that was literally ripped off the body of another living being? Who ever deemed this "glamour?" A hideous reality is behind every piece of Fur skin, whether it be a fur collar or a full fur length coat: Don't be so damn ugly to think you look cool with blood on your soul.
Take a stand now. Find out more at www.dawnwatch.com
Part II: Angels Gate Sanctuary. www.angelsgate.org
1.) Please always ADOPT and never buy an animal from a breeder, store front, internet, etc. Why? The suffering that the surplus of animals has caused is astronomical, and the "puppy mills" and other "animal mills" that these animals are mostly from are factories of filth, abuse, neglect, and fear. ALL of these factories should be ILLEGAL in every State, but the wheels of logic in our over-bloated Government turn way too slowly. YOU, the Consumer, need to be the voice of change for these innocent living beings who are suffering right now as I write this blog entry.
2.) Breeders send their own surplus to the public Shelters. They are causing havoc for the many millions of animals who are Euthanized every year simply because there is not enough room or even tax payer finances [allocated by over-bloated Governments] to create a Shelter system that actually WORKS. Too many animals are killed rather than adopted…. and a lot of this has to do with Breeders. Don't buy their twisted rhetoric, and certainly don't buy an animal. ADOPT.
3.) Why would anyone attack Susan Marino, the Director of Angels Gate? This amazing Hospice for animals is one of only a handful in the USA, and they depend entirely on donations from the caring citizens who want to be part of the change they wish to see in this world.
4.) I have known Susan for quite some time now, and she is one of those very honorable, and wonderful persons who gives of her daily life to bring a place of rest and sanctuary to animals in need.
5.) Susan helped me with O'Neill, a beautiful, gray tiger cat whom I had helped rescue in 2004 off the streets of Brooklyn when his ignorant guardians threw him out in the middle of the Winter to fend for himself. Why would anyone be that pathetic, dysfunctional, and disrespectful to treat one of God's creatures with such hatred? Where do all of the "Haters" come from?
6.) O'Neill lived out his life at Angels Gate since he had contracted Leukemia while he was trying his best to fend for himself in the cold, below freezing temperatures for way too long before I got the call to rescue him.
7.) It was an honor to have saved O'Neill. His big green eyes, his beautiful and kind spirit, his thankfulness and his resilience will always be with me for the rest of my life. I know he will be there to greet me at the gates of Heaven when my time comes…. and all of the amazing animals whose lives have touched me so gracefully will be there…. I am so honored to be living my life everyday with God's messengers around me.
8.) Every time I look at the stars in the sky, I see the different colors of the eyes of the many animals whose spirits have passed from this world. I see green, blue, gold, yellow, amber…. they are like light houses in the sky to guide me, and to remind me of the ephemeralness of life, and the reason why I am here. Eternity awaits all living beings, and I believe you can choose, while here on Earth, what Eternity you deserve.
Please be a big advocate for animals in your everyday life. Be a hero when you are called [even when it's not convenient, etc.] and say something, do something, be something today that could make all the difference for another living being.

NASA Fighting to Stay in Orbit
For NASA it could be T-Minus 10 to a smaller budget.
For NASA it could be T-Minus 10 to a smaller budget. The national space agency is bracing for potentially large budget cuts next year. It's a prime target for savings as the incoming Obama administration tries to show at least some budget discipline to offset massive spending on a stimulus. But the agency, its many contractors and congressional supporters of its biggest program, namely the space shuttle replacement, won't take a budget assault lightly.
On travel here in Huntsville, Alabama, where the replacement for the space shuttle fleet is being developed and tested, I can see the fear of budget cuts or cancelations is palpable. Several thousand government and private contractors in northern Alabama work on the Ares manned-rocket program, which is scheduled to be in service in 2015, about five years after the space shuttles are scheduled to be mothballed.
Some figure that Alabama may not rate much say with an Obama administration, given that it overwhelmingly voted for John McCain in November and is almost exclusively Republican in its congressional delegation. Others fear that internal leaks and chatter about fundamental engineering problems with the Ares program will fuel talk of killing it, saving about $3 billion a year. (NASA's current annual budget is $17 billion).
Even if Ares is fully funded, there will be a roughly five-year gap, from 2010 to 2015, when the U.S. will have to rely on Russia's Soyuz rockets to deliver astronauts and heavy cargo to the International Space Station. No other option but using the Russians will exist. Private sector space launch companies are talked about as an option, but they simply can't deliver. Obama and Congress may well decide to extend the life of the shuttles beyond 2010, but an extension of more than a year or so is out of the question for the fault prone and aging fleet.
Supporters of Ares and NASA will argue next year in the budget debates in Washington and probably with some success that:
*Ares not only is necessary to retain U.S. dominance in space exploration but also is a creator of jobs. Canceling it or paring back Ares and its parent program, Constellation, will put thousands of highly skilled workers out of work and act as a drag on the economy.
*Too much has already been invested to pull the plug, about $9 billion in the last 10 years. The program, which involves huge new rockets and a crew vehicle, is in the development and testing stage now.
*The longer development is delayed, the more the U.S. will be dependent on the Russians for U.S. space programs, and who knows what the U.S.-Russian relationship may be a few years from now.
*China is ramping up its own manned space program, including a planned manned mission to the moon around 2020-2025.
*Budget savings from decimating NASA's budget will be negligible, compared to the deficit or even the size of the $500 billion-plus defense budget that is replete with waste and contractor fraud.
Perhaps the strongest reason for continued funding of the Ares program in particular, and NASA, in general, is political. While much of the work is done in Huntsville, an awful lot of it is spread out across the country. Businesses in nearly every state, including those with huge congressional leverage, such as California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, will be affected by NASA cutbacks. It's worth noting, too, that those states also lifted the flag for Obama in the election.
Bottom line: Lawmakers from these and other states won't look lightly on suggestions that NASA be a sacrificial lamb in next year's budget savings effort. If Obama's budget plan looks like a shock to NASA, look for Congress to soften or even reject suggested cuts from the White House. They won't jettison NASA's biggest program just for budget savings in an era of towering deficits.

MUO Games – Cave Story: A Tiny Addictive Game
Once upon a time, there was a boy who spent several sleepless nights just to solve the mystery of Myst or to fight head to head with Bezita or to manage his own football team. Now the boy has become a man and "working 9 to 5" is the new game of his life. But deep inside, the little boy is still alive and waiting for the chance to crawl out.
Does the story sound familiar? We all have the playful child inside of us, and for Daisuke Amaya – better known as Pixel – the child is extremely persistent. During the period of five years, he single-handedly developed a tiny 2D game voted by gamers as one of the best RPG's out there. It's so well known that it has its own Wikipedia page. The game is called Doukutsu Monogatari, a.k.a The Cave Story, and it has been translated to English by fans who called themselves Aeon Genesis.
I urge you to find more background stories, tips and tricks, discussions, and everything else about this little game yourself as the searching process itself is another enjoyable quest (and revealing everything here will surely decrease the fun of playing the game).
But here's how to get you started as soon as possible :
1. As there are already many fan sites, you can find many download links, here's Cave Story for Windows and here's Cave Story for Mac.
2. Make sure your computer has an archive application to extract ".lzh" compressed files. WinRAR can do this but you can also use the free "Universal Extractor" that Mark reviewed last August Open Any Compressed File with Universal Extractor Read More .
3. You will need patches to translate the original Japanese language into English. So, unless you speak Japanese, please download the Windows patch or the Mac patch. Follow the documentation on the "readme" file and you're good to go.
For the Mac, you could just use the English patched installer here
4. To make sure that nobody ever needs to go through the trial and error of figuring out which key control does what and can go directly to the fun stuff, here are your Controls guide:
- Tab = toggle fullscreen/windowed mode
- Arrow Keys = movement
- Down arrow = use/pick up object, door, etc.
- Z = jump/confirm
- X = fire
- A = previous weapon
- S = next weapon
- Q = item screen
- W = map (once map system is acquired)
- ESC = pause (F1 to resume, F2 to reset, ESC again to quit.)
And no mouse required!
5. For those who aren't strong willed and have a less adventurous soul (or who are just already too frustrated), aside from the tips and tricks that you can find easily on the net, there are several (OK, many!) videos on YouTube showing you how to play this game level by level, starting from the first one :
So, please enjoy this oldie but goodie fun but challenging game. Share your opinions and experiences of playing this game in the comments below.
And, oh, don't stay up too late!

An invigorating and deep taste of the drink so impressed the Emperor that he decided to tell the world about it.

8 recipes for delicious milkshakes
The main heroes of the culinary duel became a well-known singer Janet and the bartender of the pub for Degrees Balling" Vadim Alexeev. And Janet came not alone, but with a charmingthree-year-old daughter Laura. And really, who but a child would be able to assess the most delicious milkshake in the world?
Though, I confess: adult participants and then throwing hungry glances at the big packs of ice cream "20 cents", unusual packaging with milk "Brest-Litovsk" and fresh frozen black currants from Poltino… The more that all these products should be the very first cocktail master class. So, prepare milkshake with black currants!

Fireplace Mantel Ideas for Modern Home
You have purchased a home in downtime which seems to have been accessorized with all the luxurious stuff you have dreamed about, for instance huge class door, classy walls with eye-catching stickers and designer, and beautiful glass panels in the bathroom, with added beauty of playground music facility. This is a perfect home but it is apparently bereaved of classy fireplace mantels that you have always adored. There is already a place in your home that shows the fireplace was in the place but it was perhaps a long time ago. You may have to renovate this space to your taste, once again, to restore the real beauty of the room.
You are going to get plenty of fireplace mantel ideas like what type of mantel should be installed and what their position should be but the handiest option is to install one in the sitting room or television room. Some people would go for brick mantels because they are seen as a part of modern aesthetics in the world of home decor, some would go for rustic wooden fireplace mantels because they can be made on customs. Very few would go and find themselves some beautiful antique fireplace mantels because they are unique in their designs.
More or less known as chimneys, fireplaces are focal point of the room because the fire can sometimes turn itself into a dreamy art all by itself by extending to the ceiling to create a unique romantic aura or feel to the entire place. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the best fireplace mantel for home to add to its beauty, charm and attraction. Not to mention that you can incorporate one of many useful fireplace mantel ideas for your beautiful room. The one way is to install rustic wooden mantel and have your fireplace grounded a bit. The television would be installed right above the mounting board. The second fireplace mantel idea is to choose a particular corner of the room for the setting and install the mantel over there.

Most site design firms include the word'quality' or'high quality' in their advertising. However , when looking at a website critically, what makes good website design versus average design. Here are some tips to say why many individuals will like one site and be completely turned off by another.
When it comes to good web design, one will want to have a look at how whitespace is utilized. If you look at a website and there is a good proportion of design elements and white space, it will make a real difference in the final design of the site. It will increase that sense of quality and the design will stand out rather than being muddled and crunched together.
A domain that is balanced gives an open feel that draws the reader to the photographs and text on the page. It also makes the design elements that much more tasty and the site is clean.
When you get the spacing wrong, it can muddle up the appear and feel of the internet site and can have a negative impact on the design. It lessens the quality look and show, and adapts well to a more pathetic appearance.
Whitespace distribution will alter from site design to web design, and a designer really desires to get a feel for how much space to put in the overall design. There should be allowances made for elements to fit the design, and it takes a little practice to get it correct. One way that will help is by utilizing a grid system in designing the layout. Remember that don't have to fill up every area of whitespace. Some times less is more in site design as it is in design.
Fonts & Typography in website design
When it comes to utilizing whitespace, fonts come naturally into play. As the design doesn't carry over to the particular content being posted on the site, there must be easily followed instructions on which fonts work well with the design. Type should be serviceable and meaningful, though as with whitespace, it's not all that clear cut.
Typography should be well thought out and fit with the design elements on the page. Titles are critical in web design, and you wish to put acceptable whitespace between the headline and the body copy. As stated in a previous article, announcements should be Sans-serif while the body copy can be Serif. There should be whitespace between the title and the body copy, and with sufficient spacing, it should be easily read.

The Web Summit 2016 took place last week in Lisbon, Portugal, and it is fair to say that it is the largest and most inspiring technology conference in Europe. More than 53,000 techies, entrepreneurs and speakers from 166 countries and 1,490 start-ups spread over the impressive MEO Arena and Expo '98 pavilions.
Three days of intensive networking in a conference that mixes up CEOs and executives from the biggest company names with startups who are hungry to show their work to investors and are looking to have their moment of glory.
The Web Summit organization has recently published the 50 top Web Summit startups: their list of the hottest startups and industries from this year's event. They put it together by looking at who received the most investor meeting requests and which were the most viewed companies. Here's a quick recap of the official most in-demand startups and industries:
Fintech was the most popular industry with investors, with 14 fintech startups making it to the top 50, such as Bricksave, CollectAI, Skeyecode or PassFort Limited.
AI was the second most in-demand industry just behind with 12 startups on the list, including Affectiva and Craft AI.
Seven SaaS startups made it to the top 50, including Portuguese startup CODACY, Deep Algo, AX Semantics, Contentful, Agorize or Bizimply.
Our list of the hottest Web Summit startups – Curated for B2B IT selling companies
Consalta also headed to Lisbon and we were party and witness to the buzz happening there. We spoke to dozens of startups and some are doing an incredible job. Really, hats off to the entrepreneurs who are building on big ideas!
We were especially interested in companies using disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and in those startups who presented a solution that we think could potentially help B2B companies from the ICT market improve their processes and effectiveness in lead generation.
There were many worth looking at and we've made a short selection which includes a mix of different tools and systems:
A social selling software system that simplifies social media and helps to convert the digital engagement into actionable business development. You can create prospects in just 3 steps: by posting, advertising and responding to prospects.
A platform with which you can generate more revenue from referrals, by launching incentive-base referral and cross-selling programs. On its dashboard teams can customize incentives in order to increase engagement, capture success stories, and case studies, and delve into analytics.
A mobile CRM app that helps sales people and small teams reach their sales goals and increase productivity. Sellers can manage prospects, customers, and deals, organize their time and collaborate with the team on the go. It centralizes the information and motivates the team with goal-progress badges.
A contact management platform for professionals and enterprises who need to get in control of their contacts and be awesome with people. Their cross-platform suite of Apps and APIs enhance contacts with insights, while keeping them organized, synchronized, up to date, and safe.

A B2B web tracking software to collect high-quality leads. It analyses your traffic in real-time to identify which companies are visiting your website, and what they do there. You can view the companies on the dashboard, or use one of the 500+ integrations they have to export them to your CRM.
A system that simplifies sales follow-ups. You can share sales documents with prospects and track the consultation. You get more than a simple opening notification, an algorithm analyses their reading behaviour for you and it reveals who to call back and when to do it.
A tool that converts spreadsheets into business apps for teams and customers. Companies can instantly build apps with lists, calculations, reports for KPIs or BI dashboards based on Excel, databases or legacy systems ready to go.
The platform helps tech people organize tech conferences or meetings. It allows organizers to manage «Call for Papers» processes (speaker selection, notification), to sell tickets and to manage attendee's details & requests (e.g. t-shirt size, food type), as well as to get insights into what they are doing to take quick and sensible decisions.
AI-powered software for human translations done at scale. It moves away from machine translation and allows companies to localize their content in languages other than English by building a conversational multilingual understanding with their customers.
A solution that enables visually automated business logic, workflows and API integration, without the need for programming – you just need to drag & drop apps and APIs then connect them with links to create custom flows. You can also monitor data and activity in real time with access to detailed reporting and metrics tools.

I am so excited! It looks like our Arizona camping trip is back on! We had planned to visit Elk Country in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in late summer, but large portions of the forest was closed this spring due to wildfire restrictions that were in effect until December 2018.
With the arrival of the monsoons, Tonto National Forest had opened back up on July 11, and I had been checking to see if Apache-Sitgreaves would do the same. So glad to hear they have finally lifted the Fire Closure Orders this past week! Can't wait to see the majestic herds of elk we have spotted on past trips to the area!
Prime Elk habitat -Tonto National Forest as seen from the top of the Mogollon Rim and the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest!
Two large bulls we spotted in the early morning hours near our favorite camping spot in the backcountry.
The following is a short video I took of a super herd of elk. It was such a joy to watch the calves frolic in the isolated meadow below camp! This is one of the major reasons Don and I hike several miles into remote wilderness areas far from civilization. - glimpses of wildlife in their natural habitat! You're not going to see this at established campgrounds!

Many years ago , Michael and I were going through some difficulties in our marriage. I was reading something ( I really can't remember now) that said something revolutionary to me. It became my daily prayer for many months.
Lord, love him through me. Use me to show Your unimaginable love to him.
It sounds pretty straight forward. I would show Michael how much God loved him. It was not easy. Well, it's easy to do when you already love the person immensely. Not that I didn't love Michael a lot. I just didn't particularly like him if you know what I mean. It's much harder to do when everything the person does gets under your skin. When you are so overwhelmed by life and autism that your vessel is broken. You have no love for yourself much less love to give someone else.
I set out to change my focus. I started to see things a little differently. I mean God loves us even when we are unlovable. He doesn't throw our faults in our face or criticize us at every moment. When I wanted to criticize or be derogatory (which unfortunately can be quite often for me), I simply prayed, Lord, love him through me. This reminded me that I wasn't loving or disliking Michael for myself. I was doing it for God.
It worked miracles for my marriage to say the least. I quit focusing on his faults and started being encouraging. I put his needs ahead of my own. I let God love him through me. Amazing things happen to people when you are loving and encouraging. They become loving and encouraging back to you. Michael put my needs ahead of his own. If you don't think that revolutionized our marriage then you have missed the boat, my friend.
Do I always do it? Absolutely not. Sometimes the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Oftentimes, I put me first. It is especially hard to do when you feel, right or wrong, they don't deserve it. Deserve it or not, Jesus called on us to love . It's not your job to decide whether your spouse is worthy of your love. It is your job to love. The end.
You can't do it to get something from your spouse either. You must simply love them even when they don't reciprocate or make your life worse. Cry out to God to love them through you. Be strong and courageous in your love. You can not go wrong showing love to your spouse .
I encourage you to let God love your spouse through you especially when they are mean to you or rude. On those days when they rub you the wrong way. Pray daily for God to love your spouse through you. Then watch God in action.

The DAO hacker is one step closer to turning a real-world profit.
The saga that started in June with a high-profile hack on ethereum's most notable project, took another turn on Wednesday when nearly $100,000 worth of digital currency associated with the incident was converted into bitcoin.
Given the impact of the hack on the ethereum ecosystem (it sparked weeks of debate and led to a schism among the technology's supporters), the whereabouts of the funds have long been a matter of public interest. Funds first began moving in August and were reported to be in transit again in September.
Now, analysis from Bok Consulting founder Bok Khoo indicates that a portion of the funds have reached at least one major exchange.
Khoo, who has been tracking the theft for months, first determined that the hacker split the funds into 2,333 ETC chunks on Wednesday in an attempt to sidestep restrictions imposed by digital currency exchange ShapeShift. Next, he used the ShapeShift API to determine that those funds were converted into bitcoin and are now stored at this address.
Khoo's research would indicate that this is the first time the hacker may have tried to cash out of the digital currency.
Tracking the funds
Notably, these funds represent only a small portion of what was stolen, as more than $3.5m ether classics associated with the original DAO balance are still currently stored at this address.
However, Khoo's work may soon draw to a close.
Though the journey of the funds has so far been public, they might not be traceable forever if the hacker continues to move the funds between blockchains.
Khoo mentioned that the attacker might have converted the funds into bitcoin as part of an effort to preserve his or her anonymity.
He told CoinDesk:
"Bitcoin has mixers. Ethereum doesn't have any mixers or anonymous transfers yet."
Ecosystem impact
While the news is certainly a positive for the DAO attacker, the incident isn't likely to be relevant for blockchain development more broadly.
Ethereum's developers continue to assert that they support the move to edit the ethereum blockchain to return funds to DAO users.
At Money2020 this week, ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin argued that he doesn't believe the decision for developers to intervene affects the "immutability" of the ethereum ledger (as suggested by ethereum classic).
"Principles have to serve a social purpose," he said.
However, Buterin said that he continues to evaluate the decision, and that he now believes there needs to be "more supporting infrastructure" so that developers don't need to edit the blockchain when such an incident occurs.
Meanwhile, ethereum classic's supporters continue to believe their users should have confidence in any and all transactions that are valid on the ledger.
Ethereum classic supporter Avtar Sehra wrote on Twitter:
"The DAO attacker funds may be on the move, but it's not like they can disappear – this is ETC not Accenture's 'editable blockchain.'"

We've partnered with Vimeo two years in a row, in support of the Lincoln Motor Company campaigns. In 2013 we worked with Vimeo to create content that emphasized the symbolism behind the brand's relaunch campaign: Hello Again. We asked a shortlist of four filmmakers to reimagine something old and familiar in a new way, and each came back with a beautiful and unique concept that allowed us to convey the brand message in an authentic and compelling format across digital and social channels. In 2014 we went back to the Vimeo community to develop films in support of the Lincoln MKC launch campaign, Live In Your Moment, wherein we asked three filmmakers to work with us in building stories that illustrated a core benefit the MKC was crafted to provide: the power of being fully present "in the moment." Unlike the 2013 films, the 2014 films included product placement, and we worked with the filmmakers to make this as subtle and authentic as possible, to appeal to their audiences as much as the brand's.
In addition to the films themselves, we developed long-form content on the inspiration of each filmmaker, and assets to extend the stories across social channels, where we've experienced well above-benchmark engagement rates.

Research Offers Benchmark of T Cell Reactivity by Comparing Side-by-Side Reactions to Barley and Oats in Celiac Disease Patients
The following press release is from ImmusanT
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Nov. 6, 2014 — ImmusanT, a company focused on restoring tolerance to gluten and overcoming the need for gluten-free diet in patients with celiac disease, today announced that an article published online in the Journal of Autoimmunitydetails new research describing the immune response in celiac disease when oats are ingested. According to researchers, the vast majority of patients with celiac disease can ingest oats without stimulating an immune response, providing further evidence suggesting exclusion of oats from the diet of patients is generally not necessary. The international team who led the study included ImmusanT's collaborators at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) of Medical Research in Australia: Melinda Hardy, Ph.D., and head celiac disease research Jason Tye-Din, Ph.D. ImmusanT's chief scientific officer, Bob Anderson, M.D., Ph.D., is the senior author of the manuscript published today.
"This study demonstrates that proteins from barley and oats share the ability to activate a distinct subpopulation of gluten-responsive T cells in celiac disease," commented Dr. Anderson. "However, barley is much more efficient in stimulating the same subset of T cells. This is a noteworthy observation because clinicians have generally assumed in the past that gluten from each of the cereals toxic to celiac patients activates the same pool of gluten-reactive T cells in patients. Our study highlights that eating oats can have immune-activating effects similar to barley, and that future treatments for celiac disease will need to address gluten proteins that may not be present in wheat alone. ImmusanT is proud to contribute to the ongoing efforts to fully characterize the immunologic understanding of celiac disease."
Wheat, rye and barley are well known to contain gluten and cause gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms commonly associated with celiac disease. Oats do not contain gluten but instead are comprised of avenins, which are proteins that are considered to be non-toxic and tolerated by most celiac disease patients (source: The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center). Despite this common knowledge, "the appropriateness of oats in the gluten-free diet has been pondered for over 20 years," according to the Celiac Support Association (CSA).
"ImmusanT is committed to providing therapeutic and diagnostic solutions to people living with celiac disease. Through these published findings, we have provided the first in vivoevidence that although ingestion of oats activates avenin-specific T cells in celiac disease patients, the T cell response is rarely sufficient to reactivate celiac disease in the manner that is seen after patients consume wheat, rye or barley," said Leslie Williams, president and chief executive officer of ImmusanT.
Although ingestion of oats alone rarely causes intestinal damage, one in 12 patients with celiac disease in the study showed elevated frequencies of T cells circulating in blood that respond to avenins. The research shows that while gluten-reactive T cells that respond to oats are commonly found in patients with celiac disease, these T cells are activated at higher rates by eating food that contains barley, as opposed to oats.
"This study shows that the peptides included in Nexvax2 that target wheat, rye and barley gluten-reactive T cells also address T cells responding to avenins, and cover the majority of the immune response in celiac disease," continued Williams.
Nexvax2 is a therapeutic vaccine designed to restore immune tolerance to gluten and allow patients to resume an unrestricted diet. ImmusanT is also developing a toolbox of biomarkers including a proprietary, functional T cell test for use both as a standalone diagnostic for celiac disease and as a monitoring tool for Nexvax2.

New York Times, October 7th, 2014
The furry black mass lay hidden under a bush near Central Park's main loop, unnoticed, unmoving and partially concealed by an abandoned bicycle. A dog rustling in the brush drew the first eyes to the bush and a sight rarely, if ever, found in modern Manhattan: a baby black bear, dead.
A call to 911 followed and soon yellow police tape cordoned off the area near West 69th Street as detectives found themselves facing a mysterious crime scene on a sunny Monday morning.
How the animal, a three-foot-long female, got to that spot remained a mystery at day's end: a cub, probably born this year, somehow separated from her mother and from anything resembling a natural habitat.
Bears have not been seen outside captivity in the park in recent memory. History records the shooting of a wild black bear in Manhattan, but it was several centuries ago. "This is a highly unusual situation," said Elizabeth Kaledin, a spokeswoman for the Central Park Conservancy. "It's awful."
The police described the bear as having had trauma to her body, but it was not immediately clear how she had died.
"The mouth was open and it looked bloody," said Florence Slatkin, 79, who found the bear while walking her dog, a Chihuahua mix named Paco, with a friend near her Upper West Side home. "At first, I thought it was a raccoon." She said her friend's dog first drew their attention to the bicycle before they noticed the dead animal by one wheel.
Nearby, New Yorkers increasingly familiar with wildlife sightings — a coyote in the park, a dolphin off Throgs Neck in the Bronx — offered theories of their own. Some suspected foul play. Others guessed an accident with a car. One man confidently pronounced the bear old enough to have wandered over from Morris County, N.J.
For several hours, detectives with the Police Department's Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad pored over the grass and bushes near the bustling central drive, searching for clues and trying to determine how the bear had ended up in the park and whether she could have been alive when she arrived.
Lucas Altman told the police that he believed one of his two black Labradors had sniffed the bear during their walk Sunday night. An officer told him the bear appeared to have been dragged to the spot where she was found. "They don't at this moment think the bear wandered there on its own," Mr. Altman said, suggesting nefarious human involvement.
Perhaps that is how the bear evaded notice — in life and in death — as it came to rest in a section of the park usually packed with tourists, bicycle riders and pedestrians but barren of large wildlife. After finding the body around 9:30 a.m., Ms. Slatkin alerted members of the park's staff, who called the police.
Black bear populations have grown in recent years around the city, particularly in New Jersey, where they have no natural predators, said Patrick R. Thomas, associate director of the Bronx Zoo, run by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Bears once roamed the city, but had not done so for quite some time, he said. "There's a record of one being shot in Manhattan in 1630," he said.
By late afternoon, a park ranger in orange gloves and a detective secured the bear's body in a tarp and placed it in a car bound for a suburb of Albany where the State Department of Environmental Conservation's wildlife pathology unit was to determine the cause of death.
State law prohibits bears from being kept as pets, and Ms. Kaledin said there were currently no bears in the Central Park Zoo, though an exhibit with two grizzly bears is to open there soon.
Giovanna Di Bernardo, who lives nearby, described the bear's appearance, not to mention her death, as "puzzling."
She had seen plenty of weird things on her regular walks in the park. A rabid raccoon for instance. But this, she said, this she would put at the top of the list.

NEW BRIGHTON (KDKA) — A man was killed and a woman was hurt while crossing Third Avenue in New Brighton Monday night.
KDKA's Ralph Iannotti reports the pedestrians were near the Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe when the accident happened.
The pair was struck by a red Nissan pick up truck heading southbound. Police identified the driver as 24-year-old Richard Disney. No charges have been filed.
Witnesses say speed may have been a factor. Police say it's too early to tell if that was the cause of the accident.
The victims have been identified as Robert Lancos, 67, and his daughter, 44-year-old Susan Miller.
Miller was taken to Beaver County Medical Center for treatment.
Lancos was pronounced dead at the scene.

Get At Me: Day 26
Entry posted by ColoradoSky55 ·
679 views
Hi you guys! Just wanted to give you an update! Today is day 26 of my Claravis journey. I am still taking 60 mg a day. My one month is this Monday, March 4th when I will have my dermatologist appointment and then go into month two. I'm pretty sure I'll be staying on 60 mg a day for a total of five months. PRETTTTTY EXCITING STUFF!!!!!!!!!
Here is a little update about my face! I switched cleansers haha and I FREAKING LOVE WHAT I'M USING. It's called "Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser". I have been using this for two days and already my skin feels way better. My face feels smoother, not so dry, but still super clean. I'm in love. I'll definitely continue using this throughout my treatment and will keep using it after Accutane as well. For a moisturizer, I use Cetaphil moisturizing cream and for make-up I just use Almay spot treatment concealer and the Neutrogena pressed powder. I really hate foundation, so the concealer with light powder is perfect!
I currently have nothing active on my right cheek. It's actually really smooth with just a few little marks. My chin has some scabs that are still drying up. My left cheek has one cyst and one tiny pimple with red marks. And my forehead is relatively smooth with some leftover red marks. So, I think I'm now in the healing process which is actually SUPER SWELL.
I did develop some eczema haha that's for sure. It's on my neck, the tops of my hands, and on one arm. It's not horrible; it's not like oh dear God what happened to her. It's just red and itchy. But, that's just a sign the Claravis is kicking in! So, I'll take it. I think in the next month my skin will be doing really well. So, I'm stoked for that. It's kind of crazy to see the effects of Accutane actually showing. I guess I'm a nerd like that. I get PUMPED.
Stay beautiful (:

It's definitely been awhile, which is not because I haven't been busy, because I have, but as I said in my previous post I've been gift crafting. Over the last month I've been crafting for a Firefly Swap on Ravelry. Now that my spoilee has received her gifts, I can tell you about them.
I found out about the swap a while ago and had been coming up with various ideas for it, a Jayne hat inspired coin purse with chocolate coins in it, a Simon "medical kit" that included essential things any knitter needs, a few cross stitch ideas around various characters, a pink handbag for a shindig, bottle cap stitch markers for each crew member, and a few other that seem to have slipped my mind. Once I received my swapper and did some stalking, I only used two of the ideas, the pink handbag and the stitch markers and I added a little project book, an embroidered bookmark and a variation of the Jayne hat.
The handbag is, big surprise, an Amy Butler pattern; it is the Clutch Handbag with Fabric Flower from In Stitches. My version does not have the flower and I added a little fake button made out the lining fabric. It was very easy to make, the only other modification I made was with the interfacing. A lot of the patterns in In Stitches call for a very heavy interfacing called Timtex. I don't know if they sell it in the UK, they definitely don't sell it at my local craft shop, so I used two pieces of heavy interfacing instead. I've never used Timtex to compare, but the two pieces of heavy interfacing seem to have worked just fine. The only other change I would make if I made it again would be to add some little pockets to the divider for a phone, keys, lipstick, whatever a lady doesn't want to rummage around for at the bottom of her bag. You can never have too much storage in a handbag.
The idea for a handbag came to me from Kaylee's cupcake dress in the episode 'Shindig.' The fabric I chose for the lining is also a reference to Kaylee and the bright floral shirts she wears. It also has an element of Oriental style to it, which fits in perfectly with the Firefly verse. Conveniently, one of my spoilee's favorite characters is Kaylee and her favorite episode is 'Shindig.'
Remember when I made stitch markers a few months ago? Well, it was all part of my plan to make Firefly bottle cap stitch markers. I wanted to get the hang of jewelry making to see if it was a reasonable project to undertake. I'm not terribly good at jewelry making, but I think they turned out quite well considering. I wanted to do more with the beads to make them themed around each character a bit more, but I couldn't afford that kind of attention to detail. However, my small stash of beads did include a little leaf for Wash and an 'autumn' flower for Zoe. I also tried to match up the bottle caps other people kindly donated (thank you everyone) to each character. I don't remember all of them and didn't get pictures of the backs, but Shepard Book got a Bishops Finger cap (Shepard Book is a preacher), Jayne got a King Fisher cap that says, "Most Thrilling Chilled," Zoe got a brown[coat] cap from the so-called "natural" Pepsi, Wash got a cap with a flower for his Hawaiian shirts, and Mal got a cap with a cock that says, "Courage."
I also had some little graph paper books the Mr. brought back from a conference, so I covered it in a piece of brown felt and put a picture of the crew on it to make it a little more exciting. I also made a little fabric bookmark with a quote from River, another one of my spoilee's favorite characters.
The least original, is the Jayne hat, but my spoliee said she would like one, just not in the original colours, red, yellow and orange. Since my spoilee wanted this, and she doesn't like chocolate and didn't indicate any preference towards Jayne, I made the hat instead of the coin purse.
I decorated the packing box with a big picture of Serenity and the River quote, "Mid-bulk Transport. Standard Radion Accelerator core. Class code 03-K64–Firefly," (I only had the time and skill to allude to my package being a Firefly cargo ship, but I really wanted to make my package in the shape of Serenity and make the inside a sort of diorama) and I found this great comic to add with a little note. After a month or two of crafting and watching the whole Firefly series about 3 times, plus some random episodes here and there, the Mr. decided that adding this comic was thing that made me really geeky. If only.

A Guide To Making Your Own Featured Video!
These instructions will help you experiment making your own featured video similar to these videos:
You can also use this guide to put together post-specific videos to embed in your blog posts!
There are many different tools available to do this. You can even use iMovie if you have an iPhone and can put together high-quality videos quickly and easily.
For this demo, we will be featuring Animoto, which is the tool that we use.
I like Animoto because it was the most-user-friendly, cost effective, and had the most professional looking templates, in my opinion. It is super fast to throw together, and they have amazing templates to choose from. You can even choose different fonts and colors to match the aesthetic of your site.
We've seen great success with "Reader Favorites", or "Trending Content" topics for featured videos. Make sure to include plenty of text explaining what you are showing, or pull a quote from your site to feature. You want these videos to add to the overall value of your website, and be useful to your readers.
The ideal video length is between :45 - 1:30, if you will be running our Up Next feature, which is essentially a playlist that runs with a pre-roll video ad before each video.
Once you sign up with Animoto, you can begin creating your video.
(Note: Animoto requires a paid subscription. Check out their website for annual or monthly pricing options.)
How to create a Mediavine video
Click, "CREATE":
If you have had an Animoto account for a while, you will have the option to choose between Animoto Memories or Animoto Marketing. New users will not have this option.
We use the Animoto Marketing option. We chose Start From Scratch, then "Concrete" for the video style. If you see something else that catches your eye, feel free to use that!
When creating your storyboard, click "ADD A BLOCK" to choose from these options:
For the first block, we suggest including your logo or image with your Video Title. This is the first thing your readers will see when watching your video.
If you have a food blog, you can include a screenshot of how to search for the featured recipes on your homepage. We use the tool, Skitch, to add arrows and text to screenshots.
Choose 5 images that you want to represent your blog. Whether that be your most recent posts, most popular posts, or posts you are most proud of...anything will work here! Include a short title explaining what the image is about. You can experiment with different colors and sizes as well.
Lastly, you can end your video with your logo. Here is the order we usually follow in terms of which block options to choose:
Animoto gives you some great free options to choose from if you're interested in adding music to your video.
Once you are finished, click "PREVIEW":
Then, at the bottom, "PRODUCE":
From there you can name your video, jot down a description, and click "FINISH".
Congrats! Your video is finalizing!
Make sure to click on the download tab, then you can download the MP4 file (we choose 720p):
Finally, upload your video to your Dashboard and be sure to check out our great video options in your Settings!

|Hostile Hemophilia
|Chawla, P. Cheena
|Issue Date:
|Adequate government support coupled with public
awareness is crucial to tackle the myriad concerns about hemophilia.
BLOOD — the river of life — flows through a network of channels spread all over the human body called blood vessels, which bring to the doorstep of every cell the right amounts of food and oxygen. The sight of oozing blood, whether it is a mild bruise or a serious injury, is truly distressing, particularly if bleeding occurs non-stop. It could prove fatal in no time if the natural clotting power of the blood is flawed. Millions of victims of a genetic disorder called hemophilia bear the harassment of unstoppable bleeding even for a minor wound, as their blood lacks certain crucial proteins that normally work with special cells in blood — the platelets — till the wound is finally sealed to form a clot. A child born with hemophilia simply lacks clotting factors that help platelets stick together to plug the cuts at the site of injury to stop bleeding. This happens as the child inherits defective genes for these clotting factors from one or both parents. There are two main types of hemophilia: hemophilia A (classic hemophilia) where there are low levels of clotting factor VIII and hemophilia B (Christmas disease) where victims have abysmally low levels of clotting factor IX. About 9 out of 10 victims suffer from hemophilia A. Depending on the level of deficiency of these clotting factors, hemophilia is classified as mild, moderate or severe. About 7 out of 10 people who have hemophilia A have the severe form of the disorder. In some persons with hemophilia A, the Factor VIII replacement therapy is identified as a foreign substance by their defence machinery. When this happens, antibodies are made against Factor VIII, which inhibit the ability of the infused Factor VIII to work in the clotting process. This faulty process of raising an immune response against body's own proteins is called autoimmunity. Clotting factor levels are also measured when a patient is suspected of having an acquired condition that is causing excessive bleeding, such as vitamin K deficiency, liver disease or cancer to name a few.

Vant are heading out on tour to promote new music that will no doubt feature on their long awaited debut album.
Mattie, originally from Sunderland but now based in London, last played in the north east when Vant headlined Middlesbrough's Mixtape event last year.
With an album almost ready, they are touring again in April and ready to give fans a first listen of what will be on said debut album.
I spoke to Mattie Vant spoke about his return to his native north east, Record Store Day and what the band will be listening to on the road.
How excited are you to come back to the north east?
"It's always nice to come home and catch up with friends and family!"
Originally being a Sunderland band, do your mates still live in the north east and be expected to attend the Cluny show?
"Most of my friends (like myself) moved away from the North East but hopefully the remaining few will turn up."
Your last time here was for Mixtape – are you expecting to see the same faces at Newcastle?
"I know the promoter was thinking about putting on some kind of Middlesbrough shuttle bus, so it's entirely possible!"
What are your fondest memories of Newcastle?
"Having the opportunity to support some really great bands with my first project The Small Screen Light Show."
You said the tour with Blossoms was "pretty fucking awful." How do you think playing with Get Inuit will be different?
"Well, the reason it was awful was because we were opening for Blossoms and their audience didn't really get us. If anything, it might be "pretty fucking awful" for Get Inuit this time, although I highly doubt it, they're a great band!"
There are a few smaller festivals that Vant will be playing at – how are you feeling about these?
"Great, we just love getting in front of people, no matter how big or small the crowd is."
What will your setlist consist of?
"We have a big pot of songs so we'll be mixing up the setlist each night, it's kind of fun for us because only we know what the track listing is for the record so audiences will have to guess which tracks are the B-sides!"
In interviews last year you said the album is pretty much finished. Will fans get a sneak-peak of what to expect?
"As we've only put out a few singles to date you really do have to come and see the live show to get a glimmer of what the record will sound like."
A glow in the dark vinyl for Record Store Day sounds sick. How did the idea come about?
"We just wanted something 'out of this world' to encapsulate the song title "Fly-By Alien" – if you turn all of your lights off it should look a bit like a UFO."
Which bands will be on in the van as you tour the UK?
"I'll be educating the rest of the boys in 'North Easternly Music History' with the likes of Dartz, This Aint Vegas, Little Comets, Field Music, The Futureheads and Hyde & Beast."
Tickets for Vant's upcoming tour are available from here: VANT tickets

I process things better when I have them written out.
I can write things down that I don't know I am thinking. Then I can go back and read them and figure things out.When I write things, I can think and pause and hold a thought. I can keep it there longer, work around it more precisely, than I could if I was just thinking alone. I can write things that there is no way on earth I would ever be able to say. Emotional things are hard to say. They are hard to write, too, but it is better that way.
If I write out my thoughts, I can see them. I can tell what they are. I can organize them and make them into something that makes sense.
Please read more on Alana's blog entry.

Another pic done in CorelPaint. This one is actually for the digital painting final. (Yay, it's done, and on time! I LOVE that!) I think I like the princess one below better…maybe it's because it has a princess in it. Or that I used the snugglebrush.
That's the zookeeper's braid, not her tail. :)

Real World Business
Your business operates in the real world, interacting with real people while solving real problems. Customer validations help you align your solutions with the problems of your customers.
Once your business begins offering products or services in exchange for something, your business is no longer just in your head.
I believe that nothing is more important than customer validation. Whether your business is looking to release a new product, or pushing the need for an existing service.
In fact, I would be so bold to say that customer validation is more important than your product. I say this because customer validation puts the needs and problems of your customer first.
Your Audience Matters
I am a big fan of User Personas and all the benefits they bring to improving business operations. User Personas are just a projection of real-life people as you expect them.
Validating the desires and expectations of your customers seek allows you to make sure there is a problem before developing a solution.
Finding a problem is pretty cheap compared to developing a solution just to find your assumptions were off.
Solving the problems your customers have been where your business makes money. You just need to put a little energy into finding that problem.
Solution Without A Problem
It's far easier to start by searching for a problem your audience experiences and then build a solution based on that existing problem.
I have been with a business that dumped a lot of money into a product's design and development. In turn, that business spent all that time, money, and resources to create a solution that did not have a problem.
Customer Validation Is Safer
You're going down a slippery slope if you make assumptions about your audience. Usually, these assumptions guide business decisions, and often they are wrong.
Your customers are experiencing problems that you hope to provide a solution to. If you don't understand your customer or their problems through validation, then how can you think you can offer a solution that is adequate to their needs?
Take the time to go through customer validation, and you will be amazed by what you find!
Now it's your turn. How do you validate the assumptions you have about your customers? Let me know in the comments below!
