North Carolina A&T left no doubt as to who was the No. 1 team in 2017 black college football as the Aggies defeated Grambling State in Saturday’s Celebration Bowl in Atlanta to finish with a perfect 12-0 record this season.
The game between the 11-0 BCSP No. 1 Aggies, champions of the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference and ranked 7th nationally in the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll, and the 11-1 No. 2 Tigers, champs of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and ranked 11th in the Coaches Poll, was for all the marbles and the Aggies escaped with a hard-fought 21-14 win.
Head coach Rod Broadway and the Aggies defeated all comers, running through the MEAC at 8-0 and handling all four non-conference opponents, including a 35-31 win over Charlotte of the FBS, to become only the second team in the 24-year history of the Black College Sports Page to finish in the final No. 1 spot with an unblemished record. The first was the 2000 Tuskegee team under head coach Rick Comegy that also finished 12-0.
The biggest question for Broadway and the Aggies coming into the season was whether they could get by rival and nemesis North Carolina Central who had handed the Aggies three straight season-ending losses that not only denied A&T outright titles over that span but delivered titles to the Eagles. Those wins for NCCU gave head coach Jerry Mack and the Eagles shares of the 2015 and 2016 titles with A&T and gave the Eagles the outright 2016 title.
A&T entered the NCCU game this season at 10-0 and proceeded to get the proverbial monkey off its back with a decisive 24-10 win that earned it this year’s outright MEAC crown.
En route to the title, junior quarterback Lamar Raynard earned the MEAC offensive player of the year award and set A&T passing records (2,932 passing yards, 27 TDs, 7 ints.), as did his chief target, sophomore wideout Elijah Bell (64 receptions, 953 yds., 11 TDs). Junior running back Marquell Cartwright ran for over 1,000 yards (1,130 yds., 14 TDs), left tackle Brandon Parker again earned all-American status and the Aggie defense again finished among the best in the nation (4th in total defense in the FCS).
A&T is the undisputed, undefeated BCSP national champion and No. 1 team in the final BCSP Top Ten.
Head coach Broderick Fobbs and senior quarterback Devaante Kincade led Grambling to its second straight SWAC title but could not duplicate last year’s win in the Celebration Bowl that earned the Tigers the 2016 HBCU national championship. The G-Men handled everyone on its schedule except FBS member Tulane early in the season and N. C. A&T to close it out. Kincade was the SWAC’s top offensive player and linebacker DeArius Christmas took home the defensive award.
Dynamic senior running back Trenton Cannon and sophomore quarterback Cordelral Cook propelled Virginia State to a perfect 10-0 regular season including winning the North Division title at 7-0 and taking the CIAA crown in a 42-19 championship game victory over South Division champ Fayetteville State. But second-year head man Reggie Barlow’s troops (10-1) could not extend that success into the Div. II playoffs as they fell hard to West Georgia, 35-9 in the first round.
Cannon led all black college rushers with 1,638 yards, 250 yards better than his nearest competitor, and 17 TDs. Outside of Grambling and A&T, VSU had the next best season and finished third in the final BCSP ranking.
Just a notch below the Trojans at No. 4 are the Bulldogs of Bowie State (9-2). Head coach Damon Wilson rode the arm of prolific QB Amir Hall, the only black college passer to top 3,000 yards this season, and the legs of RB Robert Chesson to finish behind VSU in the CIAA North.
BSU’s only regular season loss was to VSU despite Hall’s five TD passes. The Bulldogs staged a dramatic comeback but fell short in the first round of the Div. II playoffs to Delta State.
Bethune-Cookman is one of the few teams that gave A&T a real challenge, leading the Aggies 20-14 in the fourth quarter before falling 24-20. They knocked off NC Central late in the season to keep the Eagles out of the title picture for the first time in four years. A second-place MEAC tie with Howard gets the ‘Cats the No. 5 spot.
Howard, picked to finish eighth in the preseason, surprised everyone with its 7-4 overall mark and 6-2 second-place MEAC finish. Kudos go to first year head coach Mike London and his dynamic freshman QB Caylin Newton who were the talk of HBCU football after its opening game victory at UNLV and remained that way throughout an unexpected turnaround season.
The Bison hold down the No. 6 spot. Four-time SWAC East Division champ Alcorn State is 7th in the final ranking. The Braves (7-4) handled everyone in the SWAC except Grambling. losing twice to the G-Men.
Southern (7-3) also was a Grambling victim falling to the G-Men for the third straight year in their season-ending Bayou Classic to finish second in the SWAC West. The Jaguars are 8th.
The ride of three straight MEAC titles ended for North Carolina Central (7-4) and head coach Jerry Mack, who announced after the season that he was departing for the offensive coordinator’s job at Rice. The Eagles stayed in it until a late-season, last-second loss to B-CU on a Hail Mary pass. SIAC champion Tuskegee rounds out the final Top Ten. The Golden Tigers (9-2) won the SIAC West and got by East champion Fort Valley State for the league crown. A 61-0 regular season loss likely prevented Willie Slater’s troops from reaching the Div. II playoffs for the fourth straight season.

The process of combining objects in lodash can be a little tricky, there are the own properties of an object, it’s prorotype object, as well as even hidden properties in some cases. Also there is the idea of extending lodash with custom methods that are not a part of lodash as well. The lodash _.mixin method can be used to extend lodash, or another object with a source object of methods. It is one of many methods in lodash that can be used to combine objects, in some cases it might be useful so lets take a look at _.mixin.
This is a post on the lodash _.mixin method and what it can be used for. The _.mixin method is one of many options in lodash that can be used to combine objects with each other. For some applications it might be better to use _.merge, or _.assign.
One of the features of _.mixin is that it can be used to extend lodash if just a source object is given.
Say you have an object that has some properties and another object of methods that will work with those properties. If two arguments are given to _.mixin the first argument id expected to be a detestation object, and the second should be the source object that has the methods that are to be used with that object.

This week marks 100 days since Moshiri’s acquisition of 49.9% of Everton Football Club.
The first 100 days is a term coined by a radio address by the US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in July 1933. He realised that the first months of a Presidency were the most important in terms of gaining control, and setting the tone and agenda for his Presidency.
He was a President determined to move the US out of the effects of the Great Depression, caused by his predecessor Herbert Hoover. From day one he sought to address 4 main priorities to achieve that aim.
There’s a parallel between this story and the first 100 days of Moshiri’s role as the major shareholder at Everton.
Cast your mind back to the uncertain days of late February this year. Uncertainty about the proposed American takeover, uncertainty about the manager and performances on the pitch, the stadium was a million miles away, and no evidence of ambition and commercial acumen at board level. The club was at a very low point with no immediate prospects of matters changing in the near term.
Move forward a 100 days since the announcement that Farhad Moshiri had acquired 49.9% of Everton and we see a very different picture.
There was however initially, a great deal of scepticism – was this guy another of Kenwright’s mates? How much control did Kenwright still have? Why was Elstone given a directorship? Why did he only buy 49.9%?
Thankfully those questions have started being answered.
Today there is no doubt about who is in charge of the club and who is driving our future direction. Although the board looks relatively unchanged with only Alexander Ryazanstev a newcomer (but having clearly made his mark particularly in recent days), there are exciting prospects ahead with Brian Gilvary (current CFO at oil giant BP) and David Dein, (instrumental in the back story to Moshiri being involved in Everton and much further back with Arsenal) both strongly rumoured to be joining the board in the summer months.
Kenwright increasingly is taking a back seat and should for example, Dein become part of the board then that process can only quicken – Life Presidency may be an option – it’s an inevitable consequence of differing styles, ambitions and abilities.
The ownership position is clearer too – the emergence of an option agreement for Moshiri to acquire Kenwright’s, Wood’s and Abercormby’s remaining shares will take Moshiri to over 75% – the timing and terms are not currently in the public domain.
On the pitch, we’re seeing the effects of Moshiri’s influence, and in a huge way.
The worst performance at Goodison in 20 years against Arsenal in mid-March signified the final nail in Martinez’s tenure as Everton manager, even though the rear-guard fought hard initially, it was Moshiri’s desire to bring in someone capable of meeting the challenges of his ambitions for the club that led to his departure before the season end on May 12th.
The pursuit of his successor has been conducted in a manner almost forgotten by Evertonians – driven by the desire to get the person most suited for the job. Koeman has always been Moshiri’s first choice despite us looking at Jose, Emery and others.
The determination to capture him, persuade him, and pay the necessary costs of attaining him should not be dismissed – we have overcome significant obstacles to get the man Moshiri wanted – that bodes extremely well for our future.
Furthermore, the structural change with the introduction of a Director of Football should not be overlooked, particularly if we land our #1 target Monchi from Seville.
Although less in the public eye, the stadium issues are quietly being resolved with expectations rising that we will in the near future agree to move from Goodison Park to a waterfront, iconic stadium. The contrast between what is now possible and what was not possible under the previous ownership cannot be over-stated.
There’s little evidence yet of an improvement in our commercial and sponsorship arrangements but given the likely additions to the board, and the vigour and professionalism of other changes in the club, and it’s not difficult to expect big changes in the future. I suspect the Chang relationship will finish at the end of 2016/17 and more than likely the Kitbag relationship also.
The profile of the club is going to change markedly – it will not escape people’s attention in the football industry the change in how we go about our business even if media perceptions will take longer to alter. If the Southampton’s fans reaction is anything to go by then other fans will take note also.
Those changes in perception, coupled with changes in behaviour and results could not be better timed.
There is a feel of change around the Premiership. Leicester’s achievements have rocked the status quo, and it’s not unreasonable to draw possible comparisons with what they have achieved, how they achieved it, and how we are now positioned – funded, ambitious, high quality manager, and one would hope a return to a fully united playing squad.
There’s a huge amount to be done, and success may not appear overnight, but compared to 100 days ago we are a long way down the road to at least putting in place all the requirements for that success.
Rather like the Hoover administration during the Great Depression, we have been living under a false narrative – plucky little Everton, over-achieving, fighting above our weight – yet deep down all Evertonians knew that this was not true. We were in the position we were in because we were starved of resources, not because of a diminshed stature.
The return of resources, of professionalism, of ambition and talent will allow us to fulfil ambitions in line with our stature once more. Our stature never changed, regardless of what came out of L4 or the press – it was our ability to fund and execute in line with that stature.
That’s no longer in doubt. After the first 100 days, we can achieve in line with our place in the game once more, with ambitions to achieve greater things than we have done to date.
It’s going to be a great time to be a blue.

After the political 2017 unrest in Darjeeling, the most popular hill station of West Bengal, tourism had taken a major hit. This year, however, tour operators said that the popular tourist destination is all set to bounce back as not only people from Bengal but across the country and many from abroad had expressed their interest in visiting Darjeeling during Pujas in October.
"No one wants to visit a troubled place. Last year, people had avoided and cancelled trips to Darjeeling because of the political disturbance. This time the bookings and queries have come to near-normal," said Karan Anand, head-relationships, Cox and Kings.
He also said that during August-October while Bengalis plan to travel to domestic and international locations, people from across the country and even abroad come over to witness Pujas in Bengal and within that time they like to visit Darjeeling too.
Officials of other major players in tourism — Thomas Cook and SOTC — agreed that bookings for Darjeeling has risen by 40 per cent.
Experts are also of the opinion that the recent disturbance in Assam around the National Register of Citizens (NRC), have gone in favour of Darjeeling. "It always happens like that. Last year when tourism hit rock bottom, it was Sikkim and the Northeast which gained out of it and this time it is Assam's loss, Darjeeling's gain. Public memory is too short. They have forgotten the Darjeeling episode. The way bookings are on, my calculations is that they will cover up to 60 per cent of the kind of business we had last to last year, during this time," Anil Punjabi, chairman (east), Travel Agents' Confederation of India told DNA.
"There was an impact due to last year's political issue. The strike had affected the tourism industry immensely, but this year, the political situation is stable and the bookings to Darjeeling and surrounding areas have grown exponentially, more than making up for the low demand last year. We witnessed 40 per cent growth in the number of travellers as compared to last year," said Romil Pant, senior vice president — leisure travel, Thomas Cook (India) Ltd.
Daniel D' Souza, head of sales, India and NRI markets and e-commerce, SOTC Travel, echoed similar emotions. "The number of tourists visiting Darjeeling has gone up by almost 40% in this year. We witnessed a number of Flight-inclusive group series as well as many individual families, and couples travel to Darjeeling and Sikkim this year," D'Souza said.
State tourism minister Gautam Deb attributed the peace and tranquillity at the Darjeeling to the steps taken by Mamata Banerjee-led state government. "It will be packed to capacity during pujas. Peace had been hauled for 7-8 months last year but the CM had taken several steps to restore peace. 2-3 IPS officers have been posted there to maintain law and order," Deb said talking to DNA.
He also said that plans were afoot to install hundreds of CCTVs at crucial areas of the hill city to keep a vigil.
In June 2017 violence had erupted in Darjeeling when Mamata had conducted a cabinet meeting there. Following the violence several vehicles were set ablaze and later there was a 104-day bandh at the hills. While GJM members claimed that 13 of their supporters had been killed, the state administration said that a sub inspector and a civic volunteer were also killed in the agitation.

Onion Powder Substitute – What to Use?
Just looked in your cupboard to find you are all out of onion powder? Don't worry it is fairly easy to find an onion powder substitute, you'll probably already have some of these.
It’s never fun to cook when you realize that you’ve run out of an ingredient. Finding substitutions in a pinch can be difficult and might force you to change your recipe drastically. Thankfully, there are some simple substitutions for spices such as onion powder that are easily found in the kitchen.
Dehydrated onions, similar to onion powder, are made from dried onion. This is likely the closest flavor as an onion powder substitute.
The only difference between the flakes and the powder is the size. There will be no additional moisture added to the dish because the dehydrated flakes are dry, just the same as onion powder.
If you’d like to, you can even throw the dehydrated flakes into a food processor or blender to make them into a finer powder. This will make them even more similar to onion powder.
When having to substitute onion powder for dehydrated onion flakes, use equal amounts that the recipe calls for.
It is important to finely grate the fresh onion to make it work for your dish. When finely grating it, the fresh onion will transform more into a moist paste. This will add additional moisture into your dish but it will allow your recipe to maintain a similar flavor profile.
Onions are typically at least eighty percent water. Dehydrated onions, such as those in powder or flake form, are only approximately four percent or less of water.
This means that you will need to adjust the amount of liquids in your recipe to reflect the amount of water that the onions are likely to add.It should be noted that while fresh onions will help retain similar flavors, they are actually stronger than the onion flakes or onion powder.
In order to avoid an overpowering taste, use less fresh onion that what you would use in powder form. Try using half of the amount the recipe calls for and then adding more to taste if necessary.
Onion salt is a combination of salt and onion powder. The fact that it contains onion powder makes it a great substitute but because it additionally contains salt, the flavor can change your recipe if you’re not careful.
The onion salt contains approximately a one-to-one ratio of onion powder and salt. This means that you cannot increase the onion flavor without additionally increasing your salt intake. If you decide to use onion salt, you should adjust other sources of salt in the dish accordingly.
One benefit of onion salt, though, is that it will not add any of the additional moisture that fresh onions will add to your dish, making it just an easier substitute to use. If you consider using this substitute, consider using half the amount the recipe calls for and adjusting to taste as necessary.
Onion juice is a possible substitute for onion powder but it makes sense to use this only in a pinch. Onion juice adds excess moisture to your dish, changing the texture.
Celery seed can also add notes to your dish that taste savory, similar to onions, but do not provide the best possible substitute.

7Red Casino is BetSoft Casino,which are offering plenty reload, match bonus and of course plenty codes with free spins. I came across this casino, long time ago, when I saw their 7 euros free chips, just to become their player. I know I said I am not that big fan of BetSoft Games but seeing free chip and seeing 200% welcome bonus, which is no wagering, I think every player will be attracted for a bonus like this.
What I don' like about 7Red Casino, is for theirs minimum cashout. Even if you have nice running on the slots, still to managed to come to 150 euros or $, it's not so easy task to do, is it? But considering that there is no wagering of every deposit you made here, I think they are really wort of trying them. The first time I deposited here was 20 euros, so together with the bonus I had 40 toy play. Although I am not lucky on this BetSoft games, I could give it a go, right. Because I am familiar only with few games here, the first game I choose to play was Good Girl Bad Girl,oh those girls, both of them are bad ones, giving only empty or very low winnings, well they were not on my side, that's for sure.
I was having 20 euros left to play and opened Mama Mia slot, which for me is an interesting game, seeing that chubby cook, preparing pizza for me. What a pizza he gave me, an empty one! That Mama Mia slot has finished me, so I was left worth only 7 euros and I changed the game to Mr.Vegas Slot, which, whenever I have chance to play at any BetSoft Casino, I always choose this game and I like it a lot, just because of the 4 bonus rounds it has, well I should play Mr.Vegas I might won something, I as playing him with only that 7 euros, which finished with nothing. I like this casino and I would recommend it to BetSoft admires and specially because they have great promotions and free spins!

Healthy holiday tips are much the same as tips for healthy any other day.
If you are feeling ok, and sticking to your routine even though there are a few more social events on your calendar than usual, congratulations.
I think you have discovered the best healthy holiday tip of all, which is to keep your thoughts close to your routine for health.
If you are searching for a model, then I think the brain fitness folks have given us a wonderful guide for health.
Since I value my ability to think creatively, it makes very good sense to take care of the organ where that happens, and now it is possible to work out your brain like you do your bicep.
It just so happens that when you work out your brain, you are doing things which keep the rest of your body healthy too.
Need a model? Read Brainfit for Life by Simon Evans,Ph.D. and Paul Burghardt,Ph.D. who are neuroscientists at the University of Michigan, and fear not, the book is written for us the consumer, not other scientists.
Evans and Burghardt say that there are five pillars of brain fitness that need to be attended to on a daily basis, which have a big payoff for us in our counseling or our lives.
The pillars are physical exercise, nutrition, including lots of omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants, sleep, stress management, and, novel learning experiences.
The payoff for us? Neurogenesis, or the growth of new neurons every day, and neuroplasticity, or increased connections between neurons, which means memory, for example, is enhanced.
The Best News About Healthy Holiday Tips...?
While it is very important that all those pillars be attended to, it is easy to weave the brainfitness activities into our existing schedule.
For example, the single most important activity is physical exercise, which might make you think you need to join an exercise club, hire a coach, buy expensive equipment.
Not so, what Evans and Burghardt say is that we can do more of what we already do to meet this requirement.
So if you are getting outside to walk, even if it is from your car to the shopping mall front door (it is the holidays), park further away, and walk a little faster. Neurogenesis will happen when we challenge ourselves to breathe deeper, and the requirement is to breath deeply enough that it is hard to talk and breath at the same time.
You can even do this kind of workout at home, in ten minutes, using a model called HIIT, for high intensity interval training, and I hope that does not scare you.
Please check out the workout that 88 year old Bill and 82 year old Pat do. If you click on that link you will find them down the page a bit, about half way.
They have not invested in expensive equipment or memberships, and their brains are doing just fine.
You have been hearing eat your fruits and vegetables your entire life, but did you know that a key piece of the brain fitness puzzle is omega 3 fatty acids?
Your neurons are sheathed by a membrane that is about 70% omega 3 fatty acid, and if that membrane does not get appropriate fatty acid replacement molecules from your diet, those membranes get brittle and do not talk to each other very clearly, which means poor decisions.
The best source of omega 3 is fish, but that may conjure up fears of mercury poisoning, so you may want to consider an omega 3 supplement.
To maintain neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, we need to sleep enough and well enough, which means move through sleep stages in an orderly fashion daily. If we do not get enough sleep, hormonal events that are necessary for brain fitness and memory consolidation do not happen.
Stress management is self-explanatory anymore. The best stress management tool is deep breathing, and if you are like me, you breathe deeply for a breath or two, then go right back to the shallow style of breathing which brings the stress response right back.
For a more permanent relaxation skill, one of the top brain fitness gurus around, Alvaro Fernandez, the creator of Sharp Brains, recommends the Heartmath suite of tools.
So do I, your regular counselor in Rockford, Illinois who has used Heartmath personally and professionally since 2001.
Heartmath is an easy process to learn, and permanent, and I can use it in the middle of any holiday stressful situation, to helpf me find just the right words to gracefully refuse some of the fruit cake being passed around by your aunt. If interested, there is a link to the Heartmath suite of tools in the right column.
The brain fitness folks say that for neurogenesis and neuroplasticity to be optimized, we need to challenge our brains daily with novel learning experiences, which are usually characterized as the kind of learning we experience when we learn a new language or a new instrument.
Not sure about you, I would find learning a new language stressful right now, so I am going to take advantage of the computerized brain fitness programs like the Mind Sparke Brain Fitness Pro, which increases IQ, or the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program, which produced incredible results in the recently published IMPACT study.
I have tried all three of the following programs and recommend them for brain fitness, and I cannot think of a better present to yourself or your family for next year.

The Nxt (NXT) cryptocurrency relies on an open source blockchain platform. It also makes use of a payment network. Here are more details about how the platform works and the price changes of the cryptocurrency.
Decentralised cryptocurrencies are something that all of us are quite familiar with. The dramatic surge in the value of Bitcoin took the world by storm and started a revolution in the field of blockchain technology. As a result, many developers came up with their own range of cryptocurrencies built on the back of Bitcoin blockchain, while others went down a different path to develop their own blockchain with applications far beyond the typical virtual currencies.
Decentralised Asset Exchange - The Nxt Asset Exchange is a peer-to-peer exchange that can be used for trading in Nxt Assets. Considering that it is built into the Nxt blockchain, the Nxt Asset Exchange is a decentralised entity and it eliminates the need for transferring assets to a third party. The Nxt Assets can be utilised to represent anything of value, ranging from Bitcoin to airline miles, and are built on the top of Nxt blockchain.
Marketplace - Nxt Marketplace is another exciting feature offered by the Nxt platform wherein, users can list their digital goods for sale, without the use of middlemen or third-party sites. The items are listed on the Nxt blockchain and transactions are done directly between the buyer and the seller.
Data Cloud - The data cloud service offered by Nxt is nothing but a decentralised data storage system. In this case, the Nxt blockchain is utilised to store user-defined data, thus providing a secure, permanent and an immutable record of information. This makes it suitable for storing crucial documents like contracts, wills, licences, et cetera.
Monetary System - With the help of Nxt Monetary System, users can create their own currencies with the ability to back them up with NXT tokens. These currencies can be traded on the decentralised Nxt Asset Exchange or external exchanges.
The other features include voting, messaging, creating aliases, coin shuffling, et cetera.
With Nxt, it is also possible to create applications on its blockchain.
Hence, it can be seen that Nxt has taken the traditional blockchain and enhanced it to make it feasible for a whole range of decentralised applications. Instead of relying on third-party sites, users can utilise the Nxt platform to interact with other users directly, be it for exchanging assets, buying or selling digital goods, or creating their own currency. And needless to mention, the information of all Nxt transactions are embedded on the Nxt blockchain.
In order to utilise these services in the Nxt blockchain ecosystem, users need to pay fees with NXT tokens. You can think of NXT as the native cryptocurrency that is essential for the functioning of the Nxt platform. NXT tokens are also utilised to create assets, decentralised polls, storing data on the Nxt blockchain, pay transaction fees, et cetera.
A total of 1 billion NXT tokens were created by the developers with no provision for mining, whatsoever. Therefore, the supply of NXT tokens is finite and all the NXT coins that ever will be, have already been created.
Where to buy NXT cryptocurrency?
NXT tokens are available for purchase on the leading cryptocurrency exchanges like Bittrex, Changelly, Stocks.Exchange, HitBTC, Poloniex, Aex.com, CCEX, and many more.
The best way to store NXT tokens is by utilising the official NXT wallet, available on the website of Nxt Platform. This is available across all the major operating platforms like Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android.
Apart from the official wallet, users can also look into other popular variants out there like Jaxx, Nano Ledger S, et cetera.
As mentioned earlier, a total of 1 billion NXT tokens have already been created with no provision for further creation. Furthermore, Nxt utilises proof-of-stake model in order to reach consensus, which means that it is not possible to mine NXT tokens.
Just like every other cryptocurrency in the market, the price of NXT token moved up dramatically towards the end of 2017, although this spike was not as massive as that of other cryptos like Bitcoin and Ether. 1 NXT token was worth approximately 0.066 USD in October 2017, and the same in late December was worth roughly $1.70. Needless to mention, NXT failed to sustain this rally for long and its price dropped soon thereafter.
Nxt utilises the blockchain technology effectively to improve its sphere of applications and takes it beyond the traditional cryptocurrency route. As far as NXT tokens are concerned, they are the inherent currency of the Nxt ecosystem and should be perceived as such, rather than an opportunity to make a quick buck in a short span of time.
Furthermore, cryptocurrencies like NXT are subject to extreme volatilities in the market. Its legality is another issue that has plagued the investors. As more and more authorities across the world crackdown on these cryptos, it becomes increasingly difficult to expect a surge in its value.
Therefore, instead of risking money in these volatile instruments, it is better to go with traditional, safer investments like mutual funds. Not only are they legal and well-governed, but they are also not subjected to such an extreme amount of risk and volatility.
Considering the price of NXT token, it hasn’t varied greatly since February 2018. Prior to that, the decentralised currency enjoyed a phenomenal run driven by the hype in the cryptocurrency space. The price went well past the $1.50 mark in December 2017 and around the same time, the token’s 24 hour price volume was varying at levels more than $400 million.
The cryptocurrency space underwent a paradigm shift in February. This was on account of crackdown by various international governments on decentralised currencies, along with the prices of popular currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum tumbling down. Consequently, the investors lost faith and went on a selling spree. NXT was one of the many tokens that suffered as a result of this massive sell-off. Therefore, by early March, the price of 1 NXT token was back to its previous level at $0.16.
This sell-off continued over the course of the year. The price kept going down and eventually, it went below the $0.1 mark. As of late October, the price was seen varying at level close to $0.06. Around the same time, the 24 hour price volume was close to $1.2 million.

The project began in mid-January initially at Gateshead Carers, before moving to its base at 107, Coatesworth Road towards in February. The kavárna, a drop-in for Eastern European Roma living in Gateshead, has been open for six occasions on Thursdays between 9.30 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. The aim of the kavárna is to provide a safe space where Roma living locally can go and receive help on a range of issues and meet both other members of the community and a range of Gateshead-based professionals. It is very ably run by interpreters and workers from the Roma community.
Members of the Roma community have two major barriers preventing them always having the rights they should. Firstly, there is the language barrier faced by most groups of immigrants coming to a town like Gateshead. Additionally, there is the barrier caused by the huge amount of discrimination and prejudice they have escaped from in Eastern Europe. This discrimination, whether in education, housing, health provision or in the job market, has led to many members of the community not having the confidence to ask for the help they need. The kavárna aims to act as a bridge between the Roma community and the wider community in Gateshead and on Tyneside generally and help them to overcome the barriers.
Members of the community have come to the kavárna with a range of problems they have needed help with. These have included debt advice, help with sorting out council tax (ensuring they get rebates they are entitled to), dealing with rent arrears and with water bills. Those being helped are not English speakers, so by having excellent interpreters the kavárna has been able to help Roma to sort these problems out. Universal Credit has also proved to be a huge headache for many Roma and we have been able to help them also with this.
Housing is another huge area where local Roma need help. Among other problems, there are cases of landlords creating service charges for no apparent reason. When one landlord was phoned about this he promptly hung up..... Another landlord had overcharged a family when they had moved out, charging them for removal of furniture, despite photographic evidence that the home was empty. When the families have allowed it, as sometimes they are afraid of the landlord, Environmental Health have been phoned, because of a range of problems including the presence of rats, mould and there being no bathroom in a rented property.
In terms of employment, there was a case where a Roma was not paid by an agency for the last two weeks of work and wasn't sent a P45. People are still worried about employers, who are often also their landlords. Consequently there is not always anything that can be done at the moment as some are afraid of losing their jobs and/or their homes.
People need to have National Insurance numbers or have a child registered as one year old. There are still numerous Roma families who are 'off the radar' and not receiving the benefits they need and are entitled to. They don't know their rights and as a result they are vulnerable to exploitation by landlords and employers.
On one occasion the kavárna was open, 3 families just came along for a coffee and a chat, which is another vital function of the project. There has been a nice family atmosphere created and the project is already becoming so popular that one week two families had to be turned away to come back the following week.
The work involves helping to build-up confidence among members of the Roma community and helping them to be financially stable.

Note: these tools are only available in very limited quantities and, once sold, are likely not available for reorder. Our vintage/traditional tjaps were once working tools and varying degrees of imperfections from that use and their age are to be expected.

Overall had a nice relaxing vacation. We've stayed at several Iberostar resorts in Punta Cana, Mexico and Jamaica. The Costa Dorada was not up to the usual standards of the others we've stayed at. Not as well maintained or clean as we're used to with Iberostar. Not too bad, but not as good as usual. Just not as clean and well maintained. Food and drinks were on par with others. For the price we paid, we are fully satisfied. I will add this is the first Iberostar where we've been solicited to attend a "time share" type breakfast presentation to hear the Preferred Club sales pitch. We declined the invitation and were left alone about it after that.
The hotel staff was great and always friendly and very helpful. The added touches like flowers in the room and the special dinner was great. The buffet had lots to choose from but the food quality in the buffet and ala carte restaurants was just ok. The beach, even though the staff did a good job of cleaning up the seaweed needed more attention. I can’t say enough about how good the service was everywhere in the hotel and the maid service was excellent. Improvements in food and the beach would definitely make this a much nicer resort.
Overall the hotel is nice, the hotel staff were very friendly and attentive, they go above and beyond to meet your needs. Rami one of the staff member make sure we had a great time.
Many staff were friendly and well trained, many were not. Frequently the bars did not have the top shelf liquor as advertised. Some bottles had clearly been either diluted or they put a much less costly liquor in the bottle. For example: a bottle of Tanquery Gin at the beach bar was not even Gin. Gin has a very distinct flavor and that was clearly NOT Gin. Frequently when going into the buffet area there were empty tables but they were all still had dirty dishes. Maybe it was a staffing issue, but it seemed that there shouldn't be that many dirty tables during breakfast & dinner service. Consierge Manuel Gonzalez was OUTSTANDING. Very friendly & helpful. He speaks 4 languages and is very informed about the hotel services as well as local areas.
First of all most vacations are what you make of them. 2nd time there probably the last , Hotel overall was O.K. Beach had too much sea weed and the locals who are hired to clean it daily did poor work , Swimming Pool outdated and not properly maintained, Food was O.K. I have been to many Iberostars this time it was not recognized even after I told them a couple times starting at check in Amstar travel products are bonafide tourist traps , As experienced travelers in the D.R. Overall we had a good time on vacation.
Hotel room was average, we did upgrade to the ocean view which was nice but all rooms appear to be the same and could use some updating. Being that this on the Atlantic side don't expect the white sand of punta cana, but it is still very nice with palm trees. Big down fall is the lack of beach chairs and condition of them, honestly if you aren't out there at the crack of dawn you need to hunt for one! The food, service and attitude of the staff was excellent! The people working there really did make the stay here worth it.
Nice place for a reasonable price!
Overall this was a clean and very friendly place to stay. Beach and pool areas were nice.Some of the entertainment was horrible (my opinion) but some of the shows were a lot of fun. Some of the restaurants good some just okay. We all enjoyed our vacation! A good time was had by all!
Beach could have been cleaner. Food was okay. Not much variety on the buffet so it was kind of repetitive. Very busy on the weekends when the locals came in. We liked the quietness of the Puerta Plata area but the resort is too small if you are staying for longer than a week. We only stayed for 1 show at night. After listening to the first 5 singers for karaoke singing in spanish (they were all local people) we left. Iberostar needs to change their entertainment at night. This is the 5th Iberostar that we stayed at and the shows are almost the same. This is not a 5 golden apple resort. More like a 4 golden apple. We have stayed at 4 red apple resorts that were nicer than this one.
Exceptionally clean ... Superb staff ... Wi if weak for credit cards ... Limited purchasing...beautiful place . Just the right size .
This resort is outstanding. Great food, grounds are immaculate but makes this a 5 stars is the staff. The staff works so hard to make your stay memorable it is crazy. Once we stepped out of the bus we were greeted by Manuel and he made sure to make us feel comfortable and safe, he gave us a tour of the resort and followed up throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Iberostar for hiring employees that really care about vacationers and ensuring that we are treated like kings and princesses.
We stayed April 1-8, 2019 and had a wonderful vacation. Perfect beach, lots of beach chairs (not required to get up early to throw towel on chair), great service and pretty good food selection. Japanese restaurant was the best a la carte. Pool area was very adequate and room was clean and quiet. The grounds and maintenance of the site is well done. Some of the pre evening entertainment was very good. The evening shows are pretty much like all other resorts (very cheesy). Found the staff overall to be friendly and courteous. Wifi access was superb even on beach. Only disappointment was when you walked down beach off the resort areas there was a lot of garbage on beach-sad really how much waste in areas that were not maintained. Not a resort issue but a glimpse at what other areas of DR must look like. Overall I would say this is a 4.5 star resort and would go back.
We stayed with a large group for 1 week (24 of us) then a week as a couples vacation. Overall it's a decent resort that is made better by the people there. The good: -Great for groups. Even though we were told we are in the same building we were not, but the size and layout of the resort makes it not matter, everything is close. And they were always helpful to accommodate our group for dinners and such. -Quality of food is decent. There's some issues with the food I'll get to but for overall quality it's not bad for "resort food" -As I mentioned the people are great. Genesis is a waitress who is amazing, and William at the lobby bar is the best bartender they have. Everyone was awesome but these two stood out. -Great location. Quick walk into town, close to the airport, great beach, it's perfect. The bad: -Food handling/signage needs improvement badly. On a good day, you'll be very lucky if 50% of the buffet items are labelled (either correctly or labelled at all). There's never enough serving spoons for the buffet either which is an even bigger issue. For example my wife is a vegetarian, she asked if they had a spoon for a vegetable dish, so they pulled out out of a meat dish and just put it directly into the vegetable one. -Resort is dated and could use a solid renovation. In particular the pool NEEDS repair, its a good pool but our entire group ended up with cut up feet from the bottom being so rough. The rooms aren't great for power outlets, we only had 1 outlet in the room that could handle a larger wall plug, the rest were sunken in and if you don't have a small plug, you can't use it. Light switches are right on the bed headboards at pillow height and you will turn lights on and outlets off while you sleep. Overall we enjoyed the stay, it's got it's flaws but it's all stuff that certainly can be fixed. Tip: If you want to do a city tour, talk to the concierge and don't book through one of the agencies. They can set up a private city tour with cab drivers for far less than the booked tour prices. You can do all the same attractions but it's literally a fraction of the price.
First, unless you have $25-50k USD, don't bother with attending the "presentation" . Second, we were promised our room upgrade fee back for attending the presentation but apparently it's given back in Iberostar dollars vs put back on my credit card as discussed. My husband and I were happy to pay the upgrade fee but when this other staff member offered to hook us up by going to the presentation we thought, why not?! This was eventually done but not after having to take things up with management. Third, we had money taken from our room and the staff told me that maybe because my husband and my sister in law had a bit much to drink, maybe they took it...can you believe that?!! This is a long story but short version is that there was no concern or help for us. The staff made rude comments about me in Spanish but my sister inlaw speaks Spanish so she was able to tell me. I asked to call the police and one of the staff women laughed at me and said she doesn't know how to all the Police. I said well maybe they stole my stuff then since they're not willing to help and then another female staff member winked at me. Obviously at that point I had enough and began to yell and give back the rude comments. Like, how much is somebody supposed to take before they retaliate? At that time I was finally given the number for Police and the staff member that originally said she didn't know how to call Police told me to use my own phone to call the Police instead of the hotel's phone. We paid extra to go to an iberostar because we heard they were nice. It's an average hotel. Nothing bad aside from awful staff but nothing above and beyond either to make the hotel stand out. The following morning my husband and I paid to switch to the Be Live Marien next store and it was wonderful there. Equal quality and offerings with staff that went out of their way to ensure we had a good experience for the last half of our trip. at Iberostar our sunwing rep of course did their best to help us and Mario from iberostar management, I appreciated him trying to help us as well! He was understanding of the situation and went as far as to waive penalties for canceling the remainder of our stay when we wanted to switch hotels. My husband and I are truly grateful for that. I went back and forth on whether or not to write a review because in the end people like Mario tried to help us but the experience was just so bad that our trip was truly ruined because of it.

It is impossible here to follow the course of the strife, in which the godly were led by the earls of Gowrie and Angus.
It was often reissued with additions, The Godly Man's Portion in 1663, Heaven Opened in 1666, The World Conquered in 1668.
17, need not have been composed long before the book in which it is quoted: the references to the " godly " and to their persecutions at the hands of wicked men, who seem to be Jews, recall the Maccabaean age; in Ps.
According to Lactantius, it prophesied the overthrow of Rome and the advent of Zeus to help the godly and destroy the wicked, but omitted all reference to the sending of the Son of God.
The following year, 1532, parliament presented a petition to the king (which had been most carefully elaborated by the monarch's own advisers) containing twelve charges against the bishops, relating to their courts, fees, injudicious appointments and abusive treatment of heretics, which combined to cause an unprecedented and " marvellous disorder of the godly quiet, peace and tranquillity" of the realm.
Parochial limits, by accustoming the more godly sort to feel an inner bond peculiar to themselves, prepared many for the congregational idea of the church, and on the other hand made them feel more than ever dissatisfied with the " mixed " services ' of the parish church.
At once the sacking of religious houses in Dundee, Lindores and Arbroath had begun; the hour of religious revolution had struck; but the godly were put down when the regent and the cardinal were so suddenly reconciled.
The preachers, with Lords Loudoun and Eglintoun, Argyll and Cassilis, armed and raised the godly, and occupied Edinburgh.
The appeal of the prophets, " is not for better institutions but for better men, not for the abolition of aristocratic privileges but for an honest and godly use of them."
The township is the home of a German religious communistic society, the Amana Society, formerly the True Inspiration Society (so called from its belief in the present inspiration of the truly godly and perfectly pious), whose members live in various villages near the Iowa river.
Thinking as he did that the New World had been the undisturbed realm of Satan before the settlements were made in Massachusetts, he considered it natural that the Devil should make a peculiar effort to bring moral destruction on these godly invaders.
In his first year abroad he consulted Calvin and Bullinger as to the right of the civil "authority" to prescribe religion to his subjects - in particular, whether the godly should obey "a magistrate who enforces idolatry and condemns true religion," and whom should they join "in the case of a religious nobility resisting an idolatrous sovereign."
Gerard Cauvin was esteemed as a man of considerable sagacity and prudence, and his wife was a godly and attractive lady.
Among his works, which were first collectively published in 1867-1876, are Absolutissimus de octo orationis partium constructione libellus (Antwerp, 1530), Rudimenta Grammatices (London, 1539), Daily Devotions, Monition to a Godly Life, Epistolae ad Erasmum, and commentaries on different parts of the Bible.
Worshipper'of Ahuramazda "1 god Artaxares, king of the kings of the Arianes (Iranians), of godly origin, son of the god Papak the king."
22: " Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long," &c. On the other hand, not only is the atmosphere of the second collection of psalms as a whole the atmosphere of godly Judaism in the 2nd century B.C., but it may fairly be claimed that this collection contains many psalms which may naturally be interpreted in the light of the history of that period, of which no satisfactory explanation (in their details) can be given if they are assigned to any other time.
He also published a book of sermons, Godly Fear, in 1664, and other less noticeable devotional compilations.
Xliv., with its description of the sufferings of the righteous for God's sake, would be perfectly appropriate in the mouth of one of the " godly " (Hasidim) about 167 B.C. Ps.
The first "godly band" is dated December 1557; but more important is the covenant of 1581, drawn up by John Craig in consequence of the strenuous efforts which the Roman Catholics were making to regain their hold upon Scotland, and called the King's Confession or National Covenant.

Funeral planning typically takes place during a meeting between the priest or deacon who will be presiding over the funeral rites and family members of the deceased. If a funeral home is involved, they will assist the family in arranging this meeting. If a funeral home is not involved, the family should contact the parish offices by calling (512)858-5667 x201 to schedule a meeting to make the necessary arrangements.
People and families are welcome to download the Funeral Planning Sheet to begin the planning process prior to meeting with the priest or deacon who will preside over the funeral rites. No funeral planning is finalized until after a meeting with the presider of the funeral.
Please note that if you are making funeral preparations well in advance then we may not be able to honor requests for specific personnel.

You can always judge the tolerance level of a place by the way they treat homosexuals, if it’s ok to be queer in public, its generally a safe place – but if being queer in public earns you a bashing, well then that suggests some underlying tensions, and so it was with yesterdays gay pride march in Moscow where even two visiting western European MPS were attacked by far right homophobes and then arrested by Government homophobes after they complained about being attacked by the far right homophobes.
Two West European MPs and a Russian gay rights leader have been arrested in Moscow, as violence broke out at a banned protest by gay rights activists.
Anti-homosexual protesters threw kicks, punches and eggs at the gay rights group, chanting "Moscow is not Sodom". The gay rights demonstrators were trying to deliver a petition to the mayor of Moscow, demanding the right to stage public marches. MPs from Germany and Italy were reportedly among those arrested. Veteran British gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell was arrested, along with the leader of GayRussia, Nikolai Alexeyev. Mr Tatchell was punched in the face before being detained. Italian MEP Marco Cappato was kicked by an anti-gay rights protester and then arrested when he demanded police protection.

RAM is detected at 2133 by BIOS.
I can change to 2400 or 2666 using XMP profile and base OS appears to be stable.
Also, Passmark memtest86 reports no errors in 4 complete passes when running at 2666.
However, as soon as I attempt to load/install the Ryzen Vega display drivers (tried multiple versions) the system crashes with a black screen (signal still goes to monitor).
On a new OS build running 2666 when installing the drivers I get the black screen crash during driver install.
If I do the configuration with RAM set to 2133 then everything works, but when I switch back to 2666 I get the Windows logon screen for about 2-3 seconds on boot and then it crashes black again in the same way.
I don't understand how Windows seems completely stable and Passmark passes all tests at 2666 but the system crashes when attempting to use the drivers.
Is this really a memory issue? I have some people saying that the APU may be bad - but if that is the case why does it work at 2133/2400?
bengalih, please look in folder "C:\Windows\Minidump". If there are any files in the folder, please compress the folder and attach it to your thread. Thanks and enjoy, John.
misterj - No minidump file is being created.
I have confirmed that minidump is enabled and that the directory exists, but nothing is in there.
To be clear I am not getting a BSOD. I am getting a completely black screen.
There is still a signal going to my monitor (as the status light is green not orange).
Windows is definitely going off-line as a continuous ping from a remote machine shows several ping responses between network initialization and when (apparently) the video drivers enable.
Thanks, bengalih. I am struggling at this time and need some more thought. Are you running the latest AMD (DLed from AMD site) and what Power Plan are you using? I recommend Ryzen™ Balanced. Thanks and enjoy, John.
It looks like I was able to get past this by changing my timings to even numbers AND disabling gear down mode (GDM).
I'm still testing system for stability but I am able to boot into Windows and have it initialize the Vega drivers.

My wife insists that our 6-year-old son must wear a helmet when he rides his bike, even though he just rides on the sidewalk in our neighborhood. I don't think this is necessary. After all, millions of us survived childhood without wearing helmets.
Traumatic brain injury impacts approximately 475,000 children ages 0 to 14 every year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention helmets, when worn correctly, are effective in preventing brain injuries.
The fact that wearing a helmet could protect your son from a life-threatening or life-limiting traumatic brain injury is reason enough to insist he wear one when he is riding his bike.
Small children riding as passengers in trailers or bicycle seats should also wear helmets. Riders should use trails and other designated areas for biking and avoid busy streets. In addition, children who are passengers in automobiles should be in car seats or wear seat belts, depending upon their age and weight. Children under 12 years of age or weighing less than 100 pounds should ride in the back seat of a motor vehicle.
