BaseFEX’s 24-hour trading volume has made a 60% growth from 240 million USD to about 390 million USD.
There is more to it. The utility token platform of OKEx, OK Jumpstart, has announced its first IEO project: Blockcloud, alone with detailed token sale rules on Monday, April 1st, the price of OKB surged 30% from $1.8 in reaction.
Over 1,400 traders longed OKB this week using 5x to 20x leverages on BaseFEX, making even bigger profits than Bitcoin contracts.
Binance announced its new IEO rules, too. A user of Binance can claim up to 5 tickets for a lottery according to the amount of BNB she/he holds, in order to get a chance to participate in a new token sale.
Is it necessary to make it so difficult to buy an altcoin that previous unknown to the public?
Check the 7-second-sold-out project Huobi had just a few days ago. These new IEO policies require traders to hold the platform tokens for a considerable duration, which means an IEO participant faces not only the risk of failing to get a ticket for the IEO but also the risk of price volatility of the platform token she/he has to hold to get the ticket first.
Take HT, for example, HT price surged about 10% right before the sale of Huobi’s first IEO project, TOP Network then fell for 11% in a few minutes right after less than 3% of over 130,000 participants actually purchased TOP Network successfully. This is due to a drastic yet logical change of supply and demand during the IEO.
According to BaseFEX, more perpetual contracts of platform tokens are to be launched in the near future due to the high demand. BaseFEX will continue to provide the fast and reliable service with the lowest commission fee rate [0% for makers, 0.05% for takers], up to 100x leverage and minimum server overload.
All traders enjoy a 20% rebate before June 30th, 2019, and another 50% rebate for clients with trading volume over 35,000,000 in 7 days.

Machi X – an open marketplace for copyright and intellectual property rights -has officially launched its Beta version of the platform, setting the standard for blockchain-based tokenization of copyright and IP rights. Originally conceived by famous Taiwanese musician, Jeffrey Huang, Machi X connects fans and artists directly, enabling fans to purchase fractionalized ownership in artist creations [i.e., songs] via tokenized copyrights.
Artists and musicians have struggled to keep pace with the rise of P2P technologies that have largely precluded them from maximizing their opportunities for profiting from their work. Further, the prevalence of intermediaries in traditional music revenue structures has hindered better profits for artists.
Machi X changes that paradigm, by removing costly intermediaries and allowing content creators to focus on their craft, giving them the power to maximize the potential of their pieces.
Fans and supporters of musicians can buy tokens representing fractional ownership in song copyrights with ERC-20 compatible tokens [i.e., on Ethereum] and store them in collections on the market or in wallets – even cold storage wallets.
Users can buy copyright tokens using Machi X, USDT, and Maker Dai currently. The platform plans on expanding its support of other tokens following the Beta.
There are three current artists with IP tokens available on the Beta, including Stanley Huang, Nicky Lee, and Khalil Fong. In total, eight IP tokens are available for trading. Machi X is planning on extending their offering of IP tokens further into the creative landscape, targeting movies and TV shows on its future roadmap.
Jeffrey Huang came up with the idea for Machi X following his own struggles in consistently receiving royalty payments and losing out to expensive middlemen that extracted large portions from his bottom line. Founder of both Mithril and 17 Live, Asia’s largest streaming app, Huang strives to foster a new open era for both content creators and their fans to benefit.
Machi X is a ‘Mithril Forged Company,’ and expects to list the Mithril Token as a way to give back to the broader ecosystem that it is a part of.
Machi X offers an alternative funding option to artists outside the limitations of traditional licensing and intermediary-prone avenues. Based in Taiwan, the current artists are well-known and award-winning musicians in Asia.
Following the Beta, the platform will add support for more artists and musicians who can distribute IP tokens representing a stake in their work for fans to collect and profit from their market price and correlating royalty revenue.
The Machi X token airdrop is scheduled for April 15th, 2019, and you can follow the project through their Twitter and Facebook accounts as well as their Telegram channel.

TronCrush is going to revolutionize Crypto Gambling!
According dapp.com 2018 d’app market report, betting d’apps took over the dominating role in the market since Q4 last year. There was a total transaction volume of almost $3 billion in Q4, almost 44% of the total volume in 2018. However, problems like boring gameplay, short lifetime, also show up and are getting severe. Aiming to resolve these issues and offer players brand new gaming experience, TronCrush is introduced.
TronCrush is a unique betting game built on the TRON blockchain. Inspired by Candy Crush, it has both metrics of entertainment and profitability where players are able to have fun, win, and constantly receive dividends. There are a total of 3 dices in the game. Players need to play them one by one. When a dice is played, the payout will be instantly sent based on the result and the odds. And when all 3 dices are played, a round is completed. Players will then be able to receive an extra bonus according to their lucky number combo.
Similar to Candy Crush, when a player manages to get 2 same lucky numbers in a round, corresponding dice will be crushed. The player will get 10x token rewards of the round. And when there are 3 same lucky numbers, all dices will be crushed. The player will then be rewarded with 100x tokens and TRX in the Crush Bonus pot.
Part of game revenues will be put into the Mega Jackpot.
There is a 2 min countdown timer in each round.
For every bet over 200 TRX, 10s will be added to the timer, but will never exceed 2 min.
When the timer reaches zero, the last person to place a bet over 200 TRX wins the Mega Jackpot.
It is believed that with this unique design, TronCrush will be having a healthy and sustainable growth.
The fairness of TronCrush is guaranteed by cryptography and smart contracts. Players don’t need to be an expert of these disciplines to find out, as a handy verification tool is provided in game to ensure players are never cheated.
Players can enter their customized seed to the TRON blockchain. It could be a combination of letters and numbers of any length. It’s optional.
The seed generated from the smart contract and the seed provided by the player will then be mixed to generate a random LUCKY number.
VIP systems have been playing an important role in traditional games to reward those who have contributed a lot to the game while they are rarely seen in d’apps, which is a wrong approach. Therefore, the TronCrush team decided to design a new VIP system to reward players based on their contribution made.
TronCrush will go live soon and is now holding a PRE-registration event, join now to enjoy 1.1x mining at launch.

There are many website builders out there, and most of them have a range of services on offer. You can begin with the basic free website builders and hosting, but the chances are that at some point you'll want to move on to the premium or VIP version to get better features, storage, and other boons. Here is our review of the premium plans from the best website builders so that you can choose the best option for the best price.
Wix offers a whole range of premium and VIP plans for website owners who are ready to upgrade. Free hosting, a free domain name, unlimited pages, and premium support are included in its top-priced Unlimited package as well as in the next step down Combo plan. Both are ad-free and come with 20GB of free storage, too. However, Wix’s Unlimited plan brings you unlimited bandwidth as well.
The Wix Unlimited plan is not the cheapest around, but it includes loads of top features that bring you real value for money. These include marketing boosts like $75 for Google Adwords, $50 for Facebook ads, and 20 free email marketing campaigns each month via Wix’s marketing tools. Professional site review and excellent Ecommerce tools for a complete online store are thrown in, as well. One of the few drawbacks is that there’s no capability to sell digital downloads direct from your Wix site. Additionally, business email is not included, but it can be added on for a reasonable $4.08/month. Overall, Wix brings great value for money with prices which are not a lot higher than other website builder premium plans.
SiteBuilder’s prices are among the lowest around, but its lack of features hold it back. If you’re only looking to build a website for marketing purposes and don’t intend to sell through it, SiteBuilder could work for you. It’s very reasonably priced for free hosting, your own domain name, priority support, and an ad-free website as well as an extensive suite of SEO and analytics tools.
However, storage is limited to 10GB even on the top plan, preventing you from adding a lot of high-resolution images or videos. You’ll have to add $4 a month for its Ecommerce plan to host an online store, which is essentially the same as its Premium plan but with the addition of a full Ecommerce suite. In essence, SiteBuilder is low on cost but also low on value.
Web.com’s premium plan has many pluses, such as excellent Ecommerce tools and features and great-looking personalized business email. It offers free hosting with unlimited data, disk space and data transfer, and free domain registration for the first year. Unfortunately, after the first month of lowered prices, the cost of its premium plan is very high.
Added to that is the ongoing cost of renewing your domain each year, which is steep at $37, and other useful paid add-ons which bring value but also increase the cost.
GoDaddy’s premium website building plan using its GoCentral option is competitively-priced. It includes free hosting and a giant range of features, including SEO, social media and email marketing tools, and an SSL certificate for security. If you aren't planning to sell online, GoDaddy's premium plan brings a lot of value for money. However, if you need an online store, then you'll double your costs each month for a full suite of Ecommerce tools.
Admittedly, the tools are impressive, including a multi-device shopping cart, credit card payments, ability to configure products, and abandoned cart recovery and the price is not much more than that charged by Wix, but the Premium plan without a store is far better value for money if it suits your needs.
Somewhat similar to GoDaddy’s pricing structure, Weebly has a Pro pricing plan which is great value for money for small businesses that don’t need extensive Ecommerce capabilities. For $12 a month, you get a huge amount of premium features including SEO, analytics and marketing tools, $100 in Google ads, excellent customer support, and an ad-free site. You also get unlimited hosting, unlimited pages, and a free domain name.
However, the Pro plan only lets you sell up to 25 products and charges a 3% transaction fee, making it an inefficient choice if you expect to directly sell more than a handful of things a month. The business plan option takes all this and adds better Ecommerce capabilities including managing inventory, a shipping and tax calculator, coupons, and SSL security as well as removing the transaction fee. Weebly’s business plan is not as packed with Ecommerce tools as GoDaddy, but its Pro plan is better value for money.
Site123 only offers one level of paid plan, and that does not offer many more features than its free version as you can get free hosting, free domain name, and take credit card payments even on the free plan. With its Premium plan, storage and bandwidth increase, but only to 20GB and 5GB respectively which is tiny compared to some of the other website builders who charge the same price.
It does bring a good array of Ecommerce tools, removes ads, and adds the option to connect your existing domain. Still, Site123’s Premium plan falls a long way behind the rest of the market.
Deluxe’s website building and design tools are fantastic on its premium plan but don't offer such great value for money on an ongoing basis. Its top-priced plan is extremely expensive, and while it does offer you free hosting, a free domain name, solid social media integration, email marketing, and analytics tools, some might consider its SEO tools lacking and a business website is limited to only five pages.
Deluxe is best used to build an amazing website and then move on to something with better value hosting, Ecommerce, and storage options.
Shopify's Advanced plan brings extensive Ecommerce features, but you certainly pay plenty to access them. This is the most costly premium plan option and if you add paid add-ons, the price mounts quickly. That said, businesses that need full Ecommerce capabilities could find it worth it. Its Advanced plan brings unlimited storage and number of products, 0% transaction fees, shipping discount, the ability to print shipping labels, offer discount codes and gifts, abandoned cart recovery, and a lot more.
Shopify adds a high level of security with a free SSL certificate and fraud support. However, its mid-level plan includes almost all of the same features for a third of the price of the Advanced plan. Most small businesses might find it fits their needs and brings much better value for money, although it’s still expensive compared to Wix.
Ultimately, your choice of the best premium website builder for your small business is going to depend on what you need. You’ll make a different choice if you sell thousands of digital downloads than if you need a website for your auto retail business, for example. Above, you’ll find all of the information you need to review cost versus benefit and make an informed decision about the best premium website builder for your needs.

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
Much have been made of John 10:28-29, but verse 27 is not as popular and not always included when people try to make a point out of these verses. That is probably because the CONDITIONS for being a sheep are listed in. v. 27, and if you’re out to prove unconditional eternal security, then you’re out of luck. Verse 27 is the verse that identifies Jesus’ sheep, and we can read that they are the ones who listen to him and follow him. Furthermore, no MAN is able to ”pluck you out from his hands”, and ”pluck out” would be something that someone other than yourself might do to you. You don’t ”pluck yourself” out from someone’s hands, but you can certainly leave Jesus if you really want to since he doesn’t force anyone to either come to him or remain with him.
John 10:25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27My sheep HEAR my voice, and I know them, and they FOLLOW me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any MAN pluck them out of my hand. 29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no MAN is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
A few verses later Jesus says ”believe the works: that ye may know, and believe”, and yet some choose to disobey him. Most people in this world refuse to seek Jesus and believe in him, and that means they don’t qualify to be Jesus sheep. Jesus sheep are, again, those who listen to him and follow him.
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38But if I do, though ye believe not me, BELIEVE THE WORKS: THAT YE MAY KNOW, AND BELIEVE, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and THE SHEEP FOLLOW HIM: for they know his voice. 5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. — 7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me IF ANY MAN ENTER IN, HE SHALL BE SAVED, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
It does say that Jesus gave his life for the sheep, and that is true because his sheep are part of the world for whom Jesus died. We can also read that Jesus gave his life for PAUL, and also Paul is part of the world for whom Jesus died.

Complex Litigation, like all legal matters, requires translation free of any errors. It must be exact as all parties involved can be affected by even the slightest error, or potentially idiomatic language that can be lost in translation. Although a single judge usually presides, a unique docket with its own unique translation needs is involved and can compound the varying aspects regarding translation. Sometimes a complex civil case can be comprised of multiple individual cases, further requiring the precise legal translation services that we provide.
For over thirty years, ASTA-USA has provided letter-perfect Complex Litigation language translations. We specialize in cases comprised of multiple parties, substantial financial damages, or an interminable trial.
Whether your case has numerous parties, regards large sums of money, or requires a significant amount of time, ASTA-USA provides the wide variety of language translation services that are necessary.

This might sound stupid – and that’s mainly because it is – but the reason I tried this recipe is simply so that I could chop up a whole chicken with a massive cleaver.
I’ve spent years in fear of dinging the edge of my ridiculously expensive German knives doing something as mundane as jointing a chicken, and I’ve learnt to dissect poultry with a surgeon-like precision using nothing but a sharp two-inch blade. That tiny knife won’t get through a breast bone, though, so recently I’ve taken to using a pair of scissors for that.
Scissors from Staples. Scissors meant for cutting pieces of paper, not chicken bones.
The cleaver changed all that. It’s a fearsome sight, sat up there on my knife rack, dwarfing every other knife in sight. If it ever accidentally fell off, it’d probably smash a floor tile on impact, after taking somebody’s leg off on the way down.
It makes short work of a chicken, and at less than a tenner, I’m not afraid to wield it with some force to get the job done. It’s primitively satisfying, and worth the space on the knife rack. If you want one, go to a Chinese supermarket.
So, a typical, everyday Spanish chicken dish originating in the mountain range that runs parallel to the Santander coast. It’s rustic and wholesome food, with a beautiful little twist right at the end that elevates the taste to a different place altogether.
Chop up a big chicken, about a kilo in weight into large serving pieces. There are many ways to do this, but I favour removing the chicken’s back so that it can be used to make a quick stock for later in the recipe – nothing complicated … just the waste chicken bones and skin, chopped up into smallish pieces and simmered with a carrot and an onion.
A whole chicken gives you this gift of fresh stock. A tray of pre-packed pieces doesn’t, and costs you more.
Take the skin off the chicken pieces, and chop the tips from the wings, and add all this to the stock pot, then fry each of the chicken pieces in a large pan with some lard. Lard can take the heat well without burning, so keep the temperature constant and brown the chicken pieces quickly and evenly.
Once browned, set the chicken aside and fry two sliced onions and 120g of diced streaky bacon in the same pan, until the onions are soft and the bacon fat is starting to run.
Add four cloves of crushed garlic and two red peppers, seeded and chopped up into small pieces. Cook for five minutes or so, then add four skinned and chopped tomatoes and about 900g of potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks. A waxy variety is best, so that the potatoes hold their shape in the pan without disintegrating into a mush.
Now for the Spanish touch.
Two teaspoons. In the pan. A couple of bay leaves would be good, as well. Season with salt and pepper at this point, as well.
After another five minutes of gentle cooking, the onions and pepper should be starting to melt and caramelise a little in the bacon fat, and everything will have a spicy red sheen from the paprika.
Tip the chicken back into the pan and pour over 300ml of white wine and top the pan up with chicken stock so that everything is scarcely covered. Put a lid on, turn the heat right down and cook for half an hour.
Once the chicken is cooked through and tender – it might need a little longer – fish it out of the stew and collect it in a warm serving bowl, then crank up the heat under the pan to reduce the remaining sauce until it reaches a pleasingly thick consistency. Take care not to overcook the potatoes.
Spoon the sauce, potatoes and all over the chicken in the serving dish and finish with a big handful of chopped fresh mint leaves. The mint is important. It moves the whole flavour of the dish, changing it from a fairly mundane chicken stew with vague Spanish overtones into something extraordinarily good.
The mint really is transformative, and it adds a whole new dimension as it wilts and blackens in the heat of the chicken stew, melting into the sauce.
This is one pot cooking at its best. You need nothing more, besides chilled white wine.
Looks delicious. Will give it a try. Not sure about the quality of string on that bunch of mint though.

I am wondering what everyone here thinks about how the hyper-politicization currently prevalent in our society effects our war fighting ability. I see two main problems first of all, these days, John Q Public, by and large has never served nor in many cases does he even know anyone who has served so he is wholly dependent on other sources for knowledge about military issues. The problem being that it is increasingly the furthest from center elements on both sides of the aisle that make the most noise and therefore get heard the most. It is getting harder and harder to get unbiased news these days. Because John has never served he doesn't understand military issues. He has no frame of reference from which to form an opinion. He is therefore left on his own to sort out the facts from the hyperbole and the uniformed speculation and general bull that comes from both directions. I spend a significant time on political websites and I am shocked by some of the things that I have read. One poster on a site I visit actually said that "these counter insurgency fights are nothing more than a scrimmage for the military anyway." (The point being, I guess, that anything short of fifty Russian divisions screaming out of the Fulda Gap is a cake walk.) While that is certainly the most egregious example it is far from the only one. Both sides take facts, add rhetoric and try to pass it off as the truth. The Haditha incident is a prime example. To my knowledge the 15-6 is still in progress and yet they have already been tried and been found guilty or innocent depending on who you talk to and what side of the aisle you stand on. Depending on where you get your news they are clearly innocent or clearly guilty, so clearly in fact that if you can't see it then you are blind or an idiot or both. It has gotten to the point where I am not sure that the verdict is going to make much difference(other than to the accused of course). No matter what one side will be saying "I told you so" and the other will other being screaming "cover-up" or "they were railroaded." Which brings me to my next big problem with hyper-politicization being that anyone who differs from the party line is subject to attack and very often vicious attack at that. On one website I was called a coward and a whiner because I said that I did not think we had 5000 troops to spare for peace keeping duties in Lebanon (apparently we have divisions sitting idly on standby in Europe who are not already committed somewhere. I did not know this, silly me) . The blood fest on Batiste, Eaton and Hammes has already started. Over at Blackfive certain individuals have made support of Rumsfeld somehow synonymous with support for GWOT. Rumsfeld is a "visionary" and the officers who disagree with are malcontents and political hacks. I don't see how all of this could possible NOT have an effect on our military and our warfighting ability. Anyway I hope my rambling made sense.
Made sense to me and it something I have pondered for a number of years, without arriving at any real solution. I look at it as a form of what Hoffer attributed to True Believers. That is to say, that folks take on opinions as the center of their core, regardless of political leaning, meaning that compromise in any form is seen (or felt) as being both self-destructive and destructive for the greater society. People--including me--make jokes about "politicians" and "lawyers" because they have no true center. What we often miss is the role that "lack of center" plays in allowing lawyers to defend anyone (something central to our constitution that we often struggle with) or allowing politicians to compromise and reach agreements (another element absolutely critical to our systems of checks and balances).
I gave a one hour class, 20 times in a week in July on COIN. One of the central issues I hammered was the inherent complexity of COIN and the need to formulate strategy and planning to recognize that complexity. I said 20 times that week, "if someone tells you they have the golden BB or the magic solution for COIN, be very suspicious. Kick the tires and check the oil on the used car you are being sold." Too much of what we (and especially John Q Public) hears is selling cars from both sides of the aisle. Ultimately compromise will most likely take place; unfortunately it leaves John Q alienated and confused because he was ready to buy that car as it was first advertised.
Looked at from another perspective, too much appeals to base instinct in attempt (and it succeeds) to lesson John Q's intellectual appraisal of what is being offered. Writers from both sides of the political divide play this game. Michael Moore comes from the left; Ralph Peters comes from the right. Both come across as believing the world is truly painted the color that only they can see and that makes the hair on the back of my neck bristle.

If I might weigh in here. The hyper-politicization you’re seeing is part of your increasing maturity as regards media. The fact is that American media has always been a highly tumultuous and terribly biased organ of information dissemination. Unfortunately most people never realize that simple fact. The media by design is supposed to be biased, and a beating heart for the political process. Prior to the escapades of radical journalistic consolidation newspapers would war against each other with political diatribes within small towns. People would define their political views based on the news papers they took or whether they took the morning or afternoon paper.
Kudos to Selil for the excellent analysis on the media and it's evolution. I largely concur.
Turner is also shied away from not only because of his emphasis on a spatial interpretation of the American experience but the subsequent impact he had ( along with Mahan) on the influential thinkers in Theodore Roosevelt's circle including Henry Cabot Lodge and Brooks Adams.
Very true. The developments in platforms right now is revolutionary and it is having a significant social effect in terms of aggregating and connecting the creative, intellectual " cream" outside of the MSM and political elite.
RE: comments by U509 and Tom.
I fear the hyper-politicization spoken of is the result of a political leadership class increasing marked by a fundemental lack of character. This lack leads to actions marked by immaturity, intolerance, impatience, arrogance, etc.. It is exacerbated by a lack of experience outside the university or government.
One of the results is that these people, at their core, don't trust the Americans. They don't trust John Q. (civilian me) to understand complex issues and they don't trust us to be willing to make the sacrifices needed to win. Thus we are presented with incomplete, simplistic arguements because we can't understand anything else. They want to fight a major war while conducting all other business as usual because we can't be trusted to do more. We have never really been asked to do more. I for one have never heard of a high govenment official going to a high school or college to help with recruiting; to my knowledge no attempt has been made to enlist the help of the entertainment or sporting community to help with recruiting, as was done in the past.
We are a great people, as our history proves, and we deserve better than to be insulted in deed by our own leaders.
Another result is a mulish refusal to face facts: the Army and USMC have to be bigger, no we will manage smarter...we need more troops in Iraq, no my generals don't tell me that, as they stand up, we will stand down...if we shut down C-17 production (my own pet peeve) we won't be able to meet our airlift needs, it is simple arithmetic...no my spreadsheet doesn't tell me that and besides we have a new program on the line. And on and on and on.
Oddly, this is similar to the conduct of the Nazi gov. in Germany during WW II.
They really didn't trust their people to make the required sacrifices and didn't fully mobilize the economy until it was too late. Hitler was infamous for refusing to acknowledge facts and thinking he could bend the world to his "will".
This leads to Tom's point. How did people who act like this get to the point where they dominate the upper levels of both parties and the MSM. I don't know. I wish I did and knew what to do about it. But as U509 implied, no matter how good the professional military is, we are in trouble with the leadership class we have now.
We need to win this and we deserve leadership that thinks we can.
On the whole, I really have to agree with Selil's analysis.
Selil, have you, by chance, looked at Dawkins meme theory (http://www.rubinghscience.org/memetics/dawkinsmemes.html)? I am asking, because I'm really in doubt that "sanity" (read as communicating a literal "truth") is as contageous as "insanity" (read as a reasuring, ultimately BS, belief).
Zenpundit mentioned Turner's use of geographical determinism, at least as far as general cultural traits are concerned, and I have rapidly been coming to the conclusion that a similar form of determinism operates in cyberspace - "geographical" only in the social networks sense and measured in cross-linking rather than miles or km. I remember analyzing a series of bulletin boards back in the late 1980's, and there was a really heavy correlation between board/thread linkages and memes describing assumptions of opeartional reality that appears to be true even now.
I certainly do agree with you that the increasing popluar availability of content generation is producing many differing viewpoints but, I would also suggest that this content tends to converge into virtual "islands" with heavy interconnectivity. It is pretty rare, in my experience, to find many people who are members of two or more online communities that share mutually opposing basic conceptualizations of reality.
On the hyper-polarization issue in US politics more generally, I really have to wonder if it doesn't stem from two structural factors as well. First, you seem to have settled on a two party system ever since your civil war (Teddy Roosevelt's BullMoose party, along with Ross Perot, excepted). I honestly don't see how any two-party dominated political system can be anything other than "polarized". While I would never argue that our (Canadian) system is actually better or more efficient than yours (I wouldn't even know what criteria to use for the comaprison), I think that our multiparty system has the "benefit" of forcing our politicians into a somewhat less polarizing format, especially in minority government situations such as we currently have.

Last week, the mainstream media continued its policy of declassifying America's anti-terrorism intelligence gathering tactics. You didn't think that the editors of the New York Times had the legal authority to declassify national security secrets? Neither did I. In fact, publishing these life-or-death secrets is a crime.
Michael Barone offers a general argument in favor of cracking down on these national security leaks, while the Weekly Standard provides a specific legal justification for a criminal prosecution of the editors of the New York Times and at least one congressman has called for such a prosecution.
As Barone points out, the most recent New York Times exposure of a national security secret is particularly egregious because there is no suggestion that the intelligence program it reveals is illegal the (dubious) argument the Times used to justify its previous exposure of a wire-tapping program.
So the Times cannot claim that it has revealed this information in order to blow the whistle on an abuse of presidential power. That moves their actions into the realm of treason: the editors of the Times published information that they knew would aid the enemy and did so without being able to claim any legitimate motive.
[J]ustifying this disclosure by citing the "public interest" in knowing information about this program means the paper has given itself free license to expose any covert activity that it happens to learn of - even those that are legally grounded, responsibly administered, independently overseen, and highly effective. Indeed, you have done so here.
What you've seemed to overlook is that it is also a matter of public interest that we use all means available -- lawfully and responsibly -- to help protect the American people from the deadly threats of terrorists. I am deeply disappointed in the New York Times.

Dr. Hoddinott is rude and lacks the compassion to provide basic bedside care. He is too distracted to give you his undivided attention while treating his patience. He treats his patients as if they are incompetent. I would not recommend him to treat a hamster let alone a human being.

As expected, the proposal suggests that the passage of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), specifically the revised 163(j) provision which caps interest expense deductibility for federal tax purposes, limits the benefits of minimum documentation requirements and influenced the decision to remove the regulations.
Expansion of the rules to allow taxpayers to "cure or avoid noncompliance".
Despite their proposal to remove these documentation regulations, the IRS and Treasury indicated that they will continue to study the issues addressed by these rules, and they will maintain the possibility of proposing a "substantially simplified and streamlined" version of the regulations at a later date. If proposed, the IRS and Treasury have committed to an effective date that would allow sufficient time for taxpayers to comply.
On September 13, 2018, Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued proposed regulations implementing Section 951A of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 951A was added to the Internal Revenue Code through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The proposed regulations provide taxpayers guidance related to the inclusion of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") by U.S. shareholders.
On September 20, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") released a draft Form 8991 for taxpayers to compute their Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT") under Section 59A with Schedules A (Base Erosion Payments and Base Erosion Tax Benefits) and B (Credits Reducing Regular Tax Liability in Computing Base Erosion Minimum Tax Amount). At this point, the IRS has not released instructions for the Form. There has not been an indication from the IRS on when it will provide instructions.
On July 3, 2018, the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released the first public discussion draft on the transfer pricing of financial transactions. The discussion draft contains the first official detailed comments and guidance from the OECD on transfer pricing aspects of financial transactions. A summary of the discussion draft can be found in the July 2018 edition of Transfer Pricing Times.
First, with respect to the accurate delineation of transactions, we recommend that guidance avoid creating a framework for tax authorities to recharacterize loans simply because the issuance could be seen as relatively risky or speculative. We note that there exist many highly levered, unsecured, high yielding debt issuances in the market. As such, riskier characteristics (e.g., unsecured, subordinate) should not be a means for automatic recharacterization. Instead, as in market practice, risk should be assessed in the context of the lender's availability of funds and appetite for the risk associated with the deployment of these funds and the borrower's intent and ability to meet the debt obligations arising from such an issuance. Further, risk should be adequately reflected in arm's-length compensation (e.g., interest).
Also, on this topic, we recognize the perceived merits of the OECD's proposed approach of bifurcating intercompany financing instruments into part debt and part equity (as opposed to an "all-or-nothing" approach), but we also urge the OECD to consider the potential repercussions of loose guidance on this topic that may arise when countries attempt to implement it.
Second, with respect to risk free returns, we urge the OECD to reconsider and clarify its guidance with respect to situations in which it is found that a funder lacks the capability to perform decision-making functions and therefore cannot earn more than a risk-free rate as it applies to intercompany loans (and any return that a funder would earn in excess of the risk-free rate would be allocable to the entities that do perform decision making functions). Unlike prior guidance on Action Items 8 to 10 wherein the framework prescribed by the OECD removed potentially unlimited equity returns from what it called "cash boxes", this guidance could remove fixed, contractual and readily benchmarkable returns from funding entities and overly compensate decision-making entities for what could be a relatively routine function in assessing and arranging lending opportunities. As such it is important that the OECD clarify this guidance in the context of intercompany loans, particularly with respect to defining decision making and control.
Finally, the Discussion Draft discusses the impact that the MNE group credit rating should have on the credit rating of a particular MNE within the MNE group. We have not opined on the appropriateness of considering the MNE group rating versus a stand-alone credit rating but recommend that the OECD's final guidance have a more clearly defined and objective framework. Group and stand-alone credit ratings are often different from one another, which would likely lead economic analyses to result in different arm's-length interest rates. As such, introducing these different approaches for determining a MNE's credit rating and potential rebuttable presumptions could lead to double taxation risk if countries interpret and implement this guidance differently.
In September 2018, the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") updated the bilateral exchange relationships for the automatic exchange of Country-by-Country ("CbC") reports. Through these updates, Hong Kong activated bilateral exchange relationships with 36 countries for the exchange of CbC reports.
Hong Kong's exchange program, which will be undertaken in accordance with the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports, will be effective for taxable periods starting on or after January 1, 2019.
In August 2018, the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO") again took the opportunity to publicly deliver a number of key messages to taxpayers. Deputy Commissioner Mark Konza spoke at the Australian Tax Institute's 2018 National Transfer Pricing Conference and delivered messages in relation to the ATO's transfer pricing practices and audit activity. In particular, Mr. Konza spoke about the ATO's power to reconstruct non-arm's length arrangements, the importance of addressing the allocation of risk under the updated OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations ("OECD Guidelines"), and the key ATO focus areas in relation to its audit program.
For example, we may need to consider the substitution of arm's length arrangements where an Australian entity seeks to transfer significant assets from Australia or allows the relative value of its Australian assets to erode in ways that independent entities acting commercially would not.
The ATO's power to reconstruct arrangements continues to be an area of considerable uncertainty � and therefore concern � for multinational taxpayers.
Multinational taxpayers will clearly have to address the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's ("OECD") allocation of risk principles in reviewing their Australian transfer pricing arrangements going forward.

Canada is my home country. For many Canadians, maple syrup, hockey, and Tim Hortons represent our common nationhood, bonding Canadian citizens through a shared understanding of the importance of these cherished icons. The word ‘nationhood’ implies a group of people who are united by a shared culture. However, while I love maple syrup, I detest hockey, the epitome of the Canadian identity. Does my lack of ability to show even a speck of interest in hockey make me less Canadian? How do these symbols of nationhood create any sort of meaningful bond between me, a British Columbian woman, and say, an aboriginal man from Nunavut? Is hockey and maple syrup really what unites us?
Masquerading as integral to the national identity, maple syrup and hockey are nothing more than symbols serving an important purpose. It’s not a new idea in sociology that nationalistic symbols play a role in uniting people in their homeland. Nationalistic symbols and their socially constructed meanings are elaborate stories which act as mechanisms to indoctrinate a citizenry into the idea that we are a bonded group because we share and take pride in these common things. Worshipping the symbol of a maple leaf is meant to make me feel like I belong in Canada.
I’m not saying that I don’t believe in the importance of cultural identity. But culture can change regionally across the same nation. The culture of British Columbia is quite different from the culture of Newfoundland, a province within the same nation but on the opposite side. Nationalistic stories about beavers and lumberjacks – other Canadian symbols – don’t make me feel more united with people literally 5000 kilometres away from me. When I talk about nationalism, I am talking about a process of social control, which is different to a set of practiced traditions comprising a culture.
So what? Is it really terrible that people like to bond over nationalistic symbols imbued with socially constructed meanings? It’s just maple syrup!
The problem with nationalism stems from its effects. Within the same nation, some people are made to feel welcome, while others are made to feel like they’re unworthy and unwanted. Nationalism shapes our understanding of belonging in relation to geographical location. Academic Nandita Sharma1 explains that nationalism has become such an ingrained, taken for granted feature of modern society that the unquestioned idea that some people belong and others don’t validates and normalizes the unequal treatment of people. Think about it: some people are actually punished just by taking up space and trying to start a new life in a nation different to the one they were born in. This is because more than just ‘belonging’ or having a home, nationalism shapes our understanding of who deserves to be treated justly as a respected human being and who can be treated unjustly like tortured animals. Sharma calls it the distinction between a nation offering inhabitants either sense of homeyness or a reality of homelessness.
Border control is the tangible and forceful way that nations protect themselves and remain sovereign. Borders are believed to be real because people participate in their perpetuation as if they are as enduring as the sun and moon. But borders between nations are also socially constructed, and are really just a very formal way of drawing a line in the sand and saying you can stand on that side while I stand on this side, and if you want to stand on my side, then you have to ask me (i.e. passports). Sharma points out that the intensified protection of national borders occurred during the colonizing era of the 1800s for an important reason; borders demarcate which nations have power and control over the resources and people of certain areas. To police the borders of a country is to safeguard whatever is worth protecting inside the nation from ‘outsiders’.
The consequences of intensified border control are painfully illustrated in Australian immigration detention centres. Detention centres have shown to be a heinous example of the socially unjust outcome of mass acceptance of nationalism. Initially, detention centres were allowed under the Migration Act 1958 to allow “discretionary detention of unauthorized arrivals.” Today they are places where so-called illegal immigrants as well as asylum seekers are detained. However, many of them, such as the one on the island of Nauru, have been criticized for their inhumane conditions and treatment of detainees. One only needs to read a couple of stories in the news of sexual assault, cockroaches and rats, attempted suicides, and the intentional swallowing of razor blades as protest in order to gain a glimpse into the terrors some humans are enduring in the beautiful nation of Australia. Detention centres such as Nauru illustrate how accepted ideas of belonging within nationalist ideologies have had the effect of normalizing the forced placement of humans into conditions of squalor and abuse. (Other examples of unjust practices legitimized by nationalistic discourses include migrant farm workers in Canada’s Seasonal Agricultural Worker’s Program (SAWP) and Canada’s Live in Caregiver Program).
Can you imagine a world where nations and nationalism didn’t exist? A true anti-nationalist hero is the extraordinarily inspirational Garry Davis, the man who created the World Passport and fought for global rather than national citizenship. In 1948 he renounced his United States of America citizenship and pronounced himself a “citizen of the world.” During the post-World War II period in the late 1940s, Davis’ claim was that sovereign states divide humanity, and have the capacity to “lead us to the abyss of Total War.” In 1949 Davis inaugurated the International Registry of World Citizens.
For me, the atrocities spurred by uncritical adherence to nationalistic ideologies could be remedied by changing the way we relate to other humans. I could write a master’s thesis about this topic, as I haven’t even begun to dissect the inherent racism woven into the fibres of nationalistic practices. However, I will keep this to a minimum and urge you to read on by checking out the references and hyperlinks. Now to address my initial question of what really unites people (not just in a nation). For me, it is not the socially constructed symbols shared by those within one geographical area. I don’t want my sign off to be interpreted as nothing more than a warm and fuzzy bedtime story, but in all seriousness: it’s our heartbeats, our need for safety, clean air, pollution-free habitats, and for adequate food and shelter, that unite us as humans. It’s not maple syrup and hockey. It’s our shared humanness.

KUALA LUMPUR: National women's singles ace Goh Jin Wei provided the biggest shock of the day when she stunned world No.5 Akane Yamaguchi to reach the last 16 of the Perodua Malaysian Masters on Wednesday (Jan 16).
The 18-year-old won 21-14, 21-12 in 33 minutes for her first victory over the Japanese opponent in four meetings.
Also through to the second round was Lee Zii Jia in the men's singles, who defeated Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk 14-21, 21-18, 21-10.
However, his hopes of facing world No.1 Kento Momota went up in smoke when the Japanese superstar suffered a shocking first round defeat to compatriot Kenta Nishimoto.
Nishimoto, last year's runner-up, sent the top seed packing after prevailing 21-15, 14-21, 22-20 in a pulsating 74-minute affair.
Malaysia also impressed in the men's doubles with country's top three pairs Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi all safely cleared their opening hurdles.
V Shem-Wee Kiong fended off spirited challenge from China's Di Zijian-Wang Chang 21-14, 19-21, 21-9 to stay on course for a back-to-back victory following their Thailand Masters success last week.
They will face Hendra Setiawan-Mohammad Ahsan of Indonesia for a place in the last eight.
Aaron-Wooi Yik set up a last 16 clash against defending champions Fajar Alfian-Muhammad Rian Ardianto after outclassing England's Marcus Ellis-Chris Langridge of England 21-19, 21-12.
It was a sweet revenge for Aaron-Wooi Yik over the Rio Olympics bronze medallist Ellis-Langridge having being pipped to the SaarLorLux Open title in Germany last October.
Yew Sin-Ee Yi are also through after a solid 21-14, 21- 14 win over eighth seeds Liao Min-chun-Su Ching-heng of Taiwan.

Power resistor manufacturer, Cressall Resistors has released a white paper highlighting the need for load bank testing in manufacturing facilities.
UK based power resistor manufacturer, Cressall has developed a pre-insertion resistor (PIR) for use in high voltage direct current (HVDC) applications. The resistor stands at over 10m tall and has been tested to ensure it can withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses of 48MJ of energy that it is exposed to at switch on.
REO UK, a manufacturer of resistive and inductive wound components, has introduced a new 3D printing machine in its factory in Solingen, Germany, to assist with rapid prototyping. The newly acquired 3D printer will help speed time to market and improve product quality.
As part of a project to supply Neutral Earthing Resistors (NER) to be used by the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), power resistor manufacturer Cressall has successfully conducted pre-qualification testing at accredited laboratory CESI in Milan. As a result, the Midlands firm has secured five orders worth a total of £100,000 to supply equipment to be installed in SEC substations.

was lying in almost a fetal position and a deep congestion had filled his chest.
"He was not coherent or conscious," said victim Carol Ann Mieras, who was abused when she was a member of Chatham's St. Ursula's parish and became the last victim to see Sylvestre alive.
"He was not able to answer any questions whatsoever. His pallor was very grey. His breathing was very laboured and he coughed a few times."
Mieras stood near his bed while video equipment was set up in futile hopes of taping a statement.
"It did seem as if the Grim Reaper was standing on his chest in the room waiting for him to go," she said.
Rob Talach, a London lawyer with Ledroit Beckett, also attended the meeting that was set up following a court order his firm sought because of concerns about Sylvestre's failing health. There were lawyers from several law firms, one for the diocese, one for Sylvestre and one for the Grey Nuns, who have been named in a civil action.
Talach said the room resembled a prison cell and Sylvestre's condition was "shocking."
"From the man I saw at the sentencing in October, I didn't even recognize him," Talach said. "He was unresponsive and physically atrophied."
Sylvestre's victims -- all of whom had suffered with the secret shame of sexual abuse by a trusted priest -- reacted with both shock and sadness.
Many said they felt sorrow for Sylvestre's family, particularly his sister in Belle River who had cared for him before he went to prison.
Chatham-Kent Crown attorney Paul Bailey said victim witness workers were on standby for any women who needed support.
"There's no joy in this for anybody," Bailey said. "The fact Father Sylvestre died in prison is just an additional layer of tragedy, which is spurring us on even more to work toward prevention."
At the time of Sylvestre's sentencing, many had viewed the three years as a life sentence for the frail octogenarian who had a variety of medical problems. He had been in the Kingston Regional Hospital -- part of Kingston Penitentiary -- for three days.
Corrections Canada spokesperson Diane Russon said Sylvestre had been in palliative care. He had been assessed to serve his sentence at the Bath medium-security prison, but "he never got there.
"I do believe family had been in to see him within the last days of his life," she said.
The correctional service will be conducting an internal investigation and a coroner's inquest will be ordered -- a standard practice.
Sylvestre's death marks the end of one chapter in a case that shocked the church community and pushed both London Bishop Ronald Fabbro and Sylvestre's victims to call for reforms within the church to stop the scourge of sexual abuse by priests.
But Sylvestre died as he lived -- a priest. His position remains unchanged, despite calls from both Fabbro and the community to have him de-frocked. The petition to have Sylvestre dismissed from the clerical state had been forwarded to Rome.
The diocese of London released a brief statement about his death yesterday and would not comment further.
"We continue to feel grief and shock at the revelations of his actions and we say again that we deplore all instances of sexual abuse and sexual impropriety, especially by clergy or anyone in the Church's employ, towards minors," the statement said.
Fabbro directed all parishes to pray for Sylvestre's victims, their families and supporters and for Sylvestre's family and "for the repose of his soul."
Funeral arrangements were not complete and it is expected Sylvestre's funeral will be private.

There is Nothing Greater Than Parents in This World..
Aur Jin Ki Maayn Foat Ho Chuki Hen, Allah Unhen Jannat Me Jaga Ata Fermaye.
Agar Ho Goad Maa Ki To Farishty Kuch Nahi Likhty..
Jo Mamta Rooth Jaye To Kinary Phir Nahi Dikhty..
Yatimi Sath Lati Hai Zamany Bhar K Dukh AABII..
Suna Hai Baap Zinda Ho To Kanty Bhi Nahi Chubhty..!
Ya Allah Mere Waldain Ko Salamat Rakhna..
Me Apni Her Saans Maa K Naam Likhti..!
Jab Maa Ny Pucha Me Hun Kis K Hissay Me..?

ASSA ABLOY, Security Doors, a division of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions, manufactures all its doors in Galvanneal steel, ideal for powder coating to increase durability and corrosion resistance.
The hot dipped galvanised steel, originally developed for the automotive industry, offers a coating that is uniformly spread, to provide a consistent appearance over an entire door and its fine matte finish acts as a primer, shielding against rust.
A tightly adherent paint film on galvanneal steel lasts longer then it would on non-galvanized steel because the zinc helps prevent rusting and blistering, which reduces maintenance and replacement expenditure and improves whole life costing.
“All our steel doors are manufactured from high quality steel that conforms to both British and European standards. Galvanneal steel offers a far superior coating in comparison to zinc-iron coatings, such as zintec.

ddclient works great with dyndns. The only thing that you have to do is enable a cron script to force an update.
the ncurses wizard should come up. make sure you have your host added at dyndns.com with just any ip before you choose from a list in the wizard. If you don't have it added it can't pull the hostname.
If you need to do it manually...look at the Ubuntu link above.
Your DDNS service provider will typically force your entry to expire if it doesn't receive an update within a few months.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to use the cron sample file that ddclient provides. Here's how to do it.
1. Use the rpm command to get a list of installed DDclient files, one of which is the cron file .
2. Copy the file to the /etc/cron.d directory.
This simple modification will allow you to sleep at night without worrying whether ddclient is working correctly!
I found the above example cron file somewhere else but everything else is the same except that my command to restart crond was "service cron restart". I did not uncomment the second cron line in the file.
to see if it is up.
fully.qualified.host         ## the host registered with the service.
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/sbin/ddclient line 2102.
The above command will give you your ipaddress.

I blinked and this week was over. Which I’m totally not complaining about because it’s going to be a beautiful weekend here and I have a few great projects to get started on. The excitement of knowing the weather is warming up is awesome. What’s good for your weekends? Any fun plans? Easter egg hunts? Laying low? Linking up again today. Have a good one!
1. A coworker brought in a variety of beautiful flowers to decorate our pod. I chose the hydrangea because it brought my brain straight to Cape Cod!
3. Now that it’s getting lighter out in the mornings, this is our view when we leave for work at 6am. Not the greatest quality photo but my gosh that moon and those mountains. It’s calming just to look at.
4. So yeah, my weekend agenda includes getting new sunglasses. I sent this photo to my sister and Al and I could barely keep a straight face. Needless to say, one of the first things I’ll be doing is getting new sunglasses. I mean that’s a getting outa hand.
5. My parents sent us a care package that included this hilarious lobster wine stopper and lobster wine glasses. It made me drink way more wine than normal because the glasses are like serving bowls and made me want some lobster really bad.

Seems like Fall is in the air as I’m finding myself seeking all kinds of excuses to stay home and bake.
Yesterday I stumbled upon this blog Almond Corner and was absolutely thrilled by the recipes on there and fascinated by the photography. A Maltese saying goes L-ewwel Ma Tiekol L-Ghajn…and it is so true with anything. Loosely translated, it means that the eye is the first to eat…as now I’m completely hooked.
As soon as I saw these braided buns, I knew I had to make them. I felt slightly uneasy at first as I had to convert the weight to my lbs and ozs…I know, I’m still living in the middle ages. But besides that, I also halved the recipe and used my bread machine. I thought the recipe called for a bit too much yeast so I adjusted it to what I thought was a good amount. And even after all that, I was blown away by the result!
So here’s my adaptation for these delightful buns. As you can see from my photos, I attempted braiding them but after the second try, I aborted the mission and resorted to forming them my way as I was getting myself into a knot too.
Warm the milk until it’s luke warm.
Put all the ingredients in your bread machine and set on the dough cycle.
Brush each with a beaten egg and bake. After they’re done baking for about 15-18 mins, brush with some melted butter and put them back in the oven for a short while. (I skipped this step this time, but will definitely do it next time.) These are best eaten on the first day.
