 What is your opinion about Tom Clancy’s The Division?

Tom Clancy’s The Division is a new massively multiplayer IP developed by Ubisoft Massive, formerly known as Massive Entertainment. As some of you may know, Massive Entertainment was acquired by Ubisoft in 2008, a year of publishing World in Conflict, and has since gone on to develop Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, and Far Cry 3. The Division takes place in a near-future mid-crisis New York City after a smallpox pandemic sweeps through the city on Black Friday.
The Division is an open world, multiplayer, 3rd-person shooter with RPG elements, in a similar vein to Destiny. Players share a common world and are visible to one another, but player-vs-player combat happens only in “The Dark Zone”, an area that is separate from the main campaign and completely optional.
Before starting a new game, you’ll be given the chance to create you own unique character, though customization options are rather limited when compared to other RPG’s. Throughout the game you’ll earn experience points, currency, and loot which you’ll use to improve and further customize your character.
BUY THE Division AT HALF PRICE ON KINGUIN.
For my testing, I used a single Radeon R9 290X at the most popular gaming resolution of 1920×1080. As with Far Cry Primal, the developers have been kind enough to provide an internal benchmark, and after a few hours of gameplay, I decided that the benchmark provided an ideal scenario that was both representative of actual gameplay as well as being easily reproducible. I found that the ‘Ultra’ preset provided a good baseline for performance, averaging around 56 fps at 1920×1080 on my 290x, meaning that while the options for a single setting are changed, the rest of the options will be left on the ‘Ultra’ preset. These settings are all shown in the above slides, and of course V-sync has been disabled for the benchmarking.
Ubisoft has done an admirable job of making just about every setting imaginable into something you can adjust to your liking. Unlike some other recent offers, there isn’t any one setting that will kill your performance, with most settings costing just a modest amount. Additionally, settings like Image Sharpening, Chromatic Aberration, Lens Flare, etc… allow you to fine tune the artistic look of the graphics, without costs any FPS. One last thing I appreciated was that Nvidia-specific settings like PCSS+ and HBAO+ can only be enabled manually, and aren’t included in any of the presets, something other AMD users will no doubt appreciate.
In terms of VRAM usage, The Division is a bit of a strange beast. The game seems to cache what it can and is constantly swapping textures in and out, and as such, it’s hard to really gauge how much VRAM it needs. With my 4GB 290X, I found that it used around 3GB…but that remained the same at 1920×1080 and at 2560×1440. From what I could find of other cards VRAM usage, it seems that 2GB is an absolute minimum for 1080p, while 3GB is recommended for 1080p and certainly anything higher. If you find yourself running low on graphics memory, the only thing you can really do is lower the AA levels (if they’re even enabled).
As for CrossFire support, at the time of this writing the game technically supports it, meaning that both cards are utilized, but there is bad flickering, so I’m going to refrain from testing multi-GPU performance at this time. If you’re running an SLI setup, you should be good to go, as I don’t believe it suffers from the same issues.
The Division runs well, looks nice, and has plenty of options, all signs of a PC port that received the proper amount of care. Keeping it from an ‘Excellent’ rating is the poor CrossFire support, no doubt a symptom of its Nvidia Gameworks integration. If you have any questions or suggestions, be sure to leave them in the comments!

 Describe the current state of Ethereum Development.

The Ethereum team has always been a staunch proponent of innovation and development.
The Wave IV of the Ethereum Foundation Grants Program saw the distribution of millions of dollars to promising projects contributing to the Ethereum development, as revealed in an official Ethereum blog.
In all, 20 projects have been granted funds under different sub-categories – Scalability, Usability, Security, #BUIDL, Client Diversity and Hackternships.
Counterfactual is developing generalized state channels on Ethereum, a move which is aimed at making the Ethereum blockchain more efficient by shifting many processes off-chain, while not compromising on the blockchain’s characteristic trustworthiness.
Finality Labs is contributing to the development of Forward-Time Locked Contracts (FTLC) for Ethereum. Kyokan is working on developing production ready mainnet Plasma Cash & Debit plugins.
Trueblocks is working on an open source block explorer. VulcanizeDB is developing a “community sourced” block explorer. Gitcoin is a project which helps developers utilize bounties to collaborate and monetize their skills while contributing to open source projects. Flinstones is focused on the further development of Flint language.
Dark Crystal breaks down private keys into shards, which can then be sent to various trusted parties, and recovered easily. Sigma Prime, Prysmatic Labs and Status have bagged grants for Client Diversity for Eth 2.0.
As a part of Ethereum’s Hackternships, Elizabeth Binks has been awarded a grant for her work on ring signature implementation with nine or more keys. Lindsey Gray has received funds for contributing to the development of C++ BLS-381 implementation.
With this latest round of grants, the total amount of funds distributed by the Ethereum Foundation since the first wave of grants in March 2018 stands at $11 million. The Ethereum Foundation has published a wishlist on its website regarding the Ethereum ecosystem developments and invited applications for Wave V of the grants program.
Constantinople was meant to implement five improvements and add to the network’s efficiency. The hard fork, which was activated on the Ropsten testnet on October 13 at block 4,230,000, caused a “consensus issue on ropsten.” Ethereum developer Afri Schoedon tweeted that there would be “no constantinople in 2018.” He has also revealed that the “last all-core-dev call” has been scheduled on Friday, October 19, and the community should “stay tuned” until then.
Despite the price plunge of Ethereum from over $1,400 in January to below $170 in September, Ethereum has retained its popularity among developers. In October, ETHGlobal had conducted ETH San Francisco, a hackathon which drew the participation of 1,000 developers from all across the globe.

 Please provide a detailed step-by-step guide on how to make a sweet potato brownie with chocolate.

Sweet potato is a great ingredient as it adopts the flavors you combine it with, resulting in a great tasting brownie. This is really one of my favorite’s.
In case you are wondering this brownie will not taste like sweet potato. The main reason to use sweet potato is to give the brownies lots of texture and a moist base.
It may seem like a difficult recipe due to all the ingredient but it is actually very simple. You need an oven, a good blender and an oven dish. The blender will do all the work for you.
To make these brownies start by wrapping the sweet potato in aluminium foil. Pre heat the oven to 425℉ /200℃ and bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 45 minutes until soft.
You can also boil the sweet potato until soft this will take between 10-20 minutes. However if you boil the sweet potato be careful it does not over cook and go really soft.
You want a certain firmness to the potatoes. That is why I use the oven to let the potatoes go soft. It is slower but you have more control over the firmness of the potato.
Mash the potatoes into a soft puree. Then put the puree in a good blender and add all the ingredients one by one in the blender.
Let it run and turn the ingredients into a smooth mixture. As chocolate and nuts go together perfectly add pecan nuts and chunks of chocolate to make it extra yum.
Put this in a small baking dish and pre heat the oven to 375 ℉/180℃. Line the oven dish with baking paper so it will not stick.
Then it only requires about 30 minutes of oven time before you can take a bite of the most delicious gooey perfect healthy sweet potato chocolate brownie you ever tasted.
It might be a strange idea to make brownies with any of these vegetables. But believe me none of these brownies will taste like the vegetables. They are all a great substitute for butter.
I hope you enjoyed this healthy sweet potato brownie with chocolate recipe! Made a recipe tag @thetortillachannel on Instagram or PIN on Pinterest.
Sweet potato is a great ingredient to use as the base in sweet potato brownie with chocolate. This recipe is vegan, dairy free, eggless and sugar free.

 Describe Tesla's progress in achieving its Model 3 production goal. Respond in 19 sentences.

Tesla had quite the ambitious Model 3 production goal for this quarter and it was hard to believe it was achievable after months of delays.
Now Electrek has learned that Tesla already achieved the goal for a new record production with two days still to go before the end of the quarter.
We have been tracking Tesla’s production in the past few weeks of this critical period as the company is attempting to become profitable.
As we reported last week, Tesla achieved a new record day of Model 3 production, but it was cutting it close for the quarterly goal.
The automaker had been guiding a production of 50,000 to 55,000 Model 3 vehicles for the third quarter.
According to a reliable source familiar with Tesla’s production, the automaker had a strong week of production and managed to bring the total number Model 3 produced to over 51,000 vehicles.
For the first time in months, Tesla was able to produce about 5,000 Model 3 vehicles over seven days.
The total production for the week was at around 6,700 vehicles – bringing the total for the quarter to about 77,400 vehicles.
Tesla was able to maintain production of about 1,100 cars per day over four days this week and about 800 Model 3’s per day over three of those days. It’s one of the highest levels of production that Tesla was ever able to maintain.
Earlier this month, CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla is on track for “the most amazing quarter in their history” and that they are “building and delivering more than twice as many cars as they did last quarter.” Tesla said that it built 53,339 vehicles, including 28,578 Model 3’s last quarter.
As usual, let me start by saying that no matter how you look at the numbers, Tesla is producing electric vehicles at an incredible rate, better than any legacy automaker, and that should be celebrated.
Therefore, we release these numbers to help our readers track the progress toward that goal.
What we learned this week is that the production side did its job at least in terms of volume. Results are still unclear when it comes to deliveries, but we expect them to also be exceptionally high.
According to our source, Tesla already produced over 51,000 Model 3’s this quarter and if they maintain the current level of production over the weekend, they will be really close to a total of 80,000 cars produced, including about 53,000 Model 3 vehicles, which would actually be on the higher side of Tesla’s own guidance.
Extrapolated for a year, it is equivalent to an annual production rate of 320,000 vehicles. It’s quite significant when you consider that Tesla produced just about 2,000 vehicles back in 2012.
This record performance comes at a strange time for Tesla as Musk is being sued by the SEC, but I personally think that this accomplishment should outweigh the authorities going after Musk because of a few tweets.

 Describe the recent activities of Chino Moreno. Respond in detail.

DEFTONES singer Chino Moreno has told TeamRock that his new band SAUDADE has a number of new songs in various stages of completion.
The ethereal outfit also includes BAD BRAINS guitarist Dr. Know, BAD BRAINS/CRO-MAGS drummer Mackie Jayson, jazz keyboardist John Medeski and bassist Chuck Doom, who also plays with Moreno in CROSSES.
SAUDADE in April released a track, also called "Saudade", that is available on BitTorrent. And now Moreno says that the group has another "12 to 13 songs" written.
He told TeamRock: "Most of it is instrumental. There may be some stuff with me singing on it, but mostly I'm just playing guitar.
"It's just fun. At this point it's not so much a band as a project. These are guys that I admire and I'm lucky to be friends with them — so we made a batch of songs together.
"Slowly but surely, they will probably come out — but it's more likely to be something that I leak out or let people hear, as opposed to something we'll package up and try to sell. That's not the idea behind it."
Moreno also talked about Dr. Know's health after the BAD BRAINS guitarist was hospitalized last November in serious condition, with what was initially cardiac arrest turning into multiple organ failure.
Moreno said: "He's actually getting better and he's in therapy right now to try and get back to normal, but it's looking very good. He'll be back in form, sooner or later."
In addition to DEFTONES, CROSSES and now SAUDADE, Moreno's other projects include TEAM SLEEP and PALMS.
Moreno and DEFTONES released their eighth studio album, "Gore", in April. The LP debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 with 71,000 copies sold.

It’s no doubt unclear to some how that’s “known,” while others may be fully aware of the allegedly common knowledge Jones is referencing.
A recent Harvard University study showed that Americans of opposing political affiliations are consuming two largely different versions of the news.
Favorites among left-leaning types included the Washington Post, the New York Times and ThinkProgress. Outlets ranked in those same positions on the right’s list were Breitbart, Fox News and InfoWars.

 Describe the conflict between nurses and the University of Vermont Medical Center.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is jumping into the contract dispute between nurses and University of Vermont Medical Center. He said hospital must address "nursing crisis."
Sen. Bernie Sanders is jumping into the dispute between nurses and the University of Vermont Medical Center.
Sanders, I-Vt., announced Thursday he will hold a news conference on Friday afternoon to "demand that the UVM Medical Center administration address the nursing crisis at the hospital."
Sanders said he would be joined by the leadership of the nurses' union, the Vermont Federation of Nurses & Health Professionals.
The union announced Monday that nurses would go on strike on July 12-13 after months of contract negotiations with the hospital.
UVM Medical Center President Eileen Whalen said a 24 percent wage increase over three years is "not realistic." The hospital, she said, nearly doubled its proposed wage increase from 7 to 13 percent over three years, and made "very significant movement in a lot of other areas."
"We are down to wages, for the most part," Whalen said.

 Describe different types of stress and common ways to treat them.

They can come all at once, or not at all. They can seem completely reasonable or completely out of place. In order to become better able to control our emotional responses, we must first understand where they are coming from. Most people think that stress is a singular type of reaction, when in fact there are many types of stress that can arise in response to different emotions and external stimuli.
In this article, we’ll be investigating the different kinds of stress and a common treatment plan for each. We will dismantle stress into its component parts and carefully define each one. Our hope is that if you are suffering from any of these types of stress, you can identify your symptoms and experience stress reduction in the future.
Of all the different types of stress, acute stress is the most common among the general population. This form of stress is usually short-term and specific. The cause of acute stress is often immediately apparent. Acute stress will be triggered by an imminent emotional or physical threat, such as demands on your schedule or the pressure that comes from being in an upsetting situation.
In most situations, small doses of acute stress are normal and beneficial. For example, if you are handed a major project due at the end of the day, you may be exhilarated as the rush of stress pushes you to get things done. Negative stress occurs when it becomes too frequent, affecting your psychological and physical state.
Most of the time, the symptoms you experience with acute stress will be brief and easily manageable. The key to acute stress management is learning how to control your emotional response. It’s not about trying to stop acute stress, as it is too quick to prevent and some stress is healthy. Instead, it’s about managing your psychological responses to the acute stress. Stress management techniques might include stepping away for a minute and doing breathing exercises, or taking an hour a day to practice yoga.
While a certain level of acute stress is normal, for some people, acute stress becomes a regular facet of life. If you constantly feel like you are one step away from absolute disaster, you could be dealing with episodic acute stress. Even though episodic acute stress is most often created by taking on too much at one time and doing things that put you in repeated stressful situations, the symptoms can be just as alarming, and this ongoing stressful lifestyle can lead to physical and psychological problems.
Treatment of episodic acute stress can be tricky because many people who struggle with this form of stress are not aware that something is wrong. Long-term episodic stress can put you at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and mental illnesses. Most often, treatment for episodic acute stress is not a one-and-done thing, but rather a multi-faceted lifestyle adjustment. Treatment can involve instructions on stress management, time management and responsibility delegation. It may also bring in family members and friends to help sufferers feel supported. These steps are often enough to decrease stress levels to a reasonable amount.
While acute and episodic stress can be fleeting, chronic stress is persistent over a long period of time. This long-term stress usually comes from life situations like an unhealthy relationship, living in long-term poverty or any other miserable situation. Chronic stress usually sets in when you can’t see any way out of a stressful situation, so you stop trying to find a solution to your problems and choose to deal with the emotional turmoil instead.
People who suffer from chronic stress are most at risk for developing medical conditions related to the long-term problem and can be at higher risk of attempting suicide. The biggest problem with chronic stress is that some people can get so familiar with this lifestyle that they sometimes don’t even recognize that there is still a problem. Some don’t realize there is an issue until physical symptoms start to show up and their doctor brings up the idea that chronic stress could be a factor in their health condition.
People who struggle with chronic stress can face a lot of health issues. This is partially because those dealing with chronic stress often don’t take care of themselves and may partake in behaviors that are unhealthy, such as overeating or smoking.
Treatment of chronic stress most often involves therapy with a licensed psychologist to help you learn how to effectively deal with the common types of stress you face in your life. In many cases, people have spent so long dealing with a chronic stress that it takes a lot of therapy for them to see where the stress stems from, which makes the problem that much harder to resolve.
In some situations, chronic stress treatment can involve medicinal treatments to combat the symptoms of being stressed. While this does not get rid of the stress itself, it can help you better control your emotional and physical reactions to the problems you are facing.
Regardless of the stress that is plaguing your life, Spire is there to help you manage it properly. Spire helps you identify when you are stressed, and armed with the information in this post, you can be better equipped to dealing with the stress at hand. Since Spire tracks your wellness information over time, Spire makes it easy to identify if you are afflicted with chronic stress, and need to make some more drastic lifestyle changes.
Managing stress can become a source of stress in and of itself. This is especially true when you are confused about why you are stressed and why it happens. When a clearer understanding of stress is developed, a clearer plan can be created to deal with it.

 What is the latest on Anthony Martial's situation at Manchester United? Respond in 21 sentences.

Anthony Martial is heading for a stand-off with Manchester United as the striker is determined to leave the club and José Mourinho is minded not to sell the Frenchman.
Martial believes his career has stalled at United and the 22-year-old’s contract expires next summer. But United are expected to trigger a clause that allows for his terms to be extended for a year and so tie Martial down until summer 2020. By doing so, the club could fetch a far higher fee for the player.
Mourinho has stated that Martial will be in his starting lineup for United’s first game of the new campaign, the visit of Leicester to Old Trafford on 10 August because the manager’s preferred centre-forwards, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford, will not be match-fit after having an extended holiday following the World Cup.
Were they available, Martial would almost certainly not be chosen to be the No 9 , and Alexis Sánchez might still be selected ahead of him. Jesse Lingard is also on a post-Russia 2018 break and is another player higher in the pecking order than Martial. The England forward’s absence clears the way for Martial to start.
Herrera believes Martial is one of a strong group of forward options for the manager. “If one of them cannot play, we have three or four more so we have lots of options,” he said. “I think we shouldn’t think that any other club in the Premier League has better players because at least we have as good as the opponents.
Martial was bought by Louis van Gaal for £36m in summer of 2015, a world record fee for a teenager that rises to £58m with add-ons. Despite United struggling under the Dutchman the following season – his side finished fifth — Martial was a standout performer scoring a memorable goal against Liverpool on his debut after coming on as a 65th-minute substitute in the 3-1 win at Old Trafford.
He ended that first season with 17 goals, including the 90th-minute winner against Everton in the FA Cup semi-final as United went on to win the trophy for the first time since 2004, Martial playing all of the Wembley final.
The Dutchman, though, was sacked, for failing to claim a Champions League place and under Mourinho Martial has lost his way. He is no longer a first choice, and scored only eight goals in 2016-17 and 11 last season. Martial lost the No 9 jersey when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was signed by Mourinho in 2016, with Lukaku then taking it 12 months ago.
Martial’s patchy form has caused Mourinho continuing frustration. As none of Lingard, Mata or Rashford have established themselves asan automatic choice for Mourinho’s starting XI, the Frenchman can still win him over. Martial is set to start Sunday’s friendly against San Jose Earthquakes at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium, United’s second tour game. Sánchez will also play, Mourinho has said.

 What is China doing to promote self-driving technology?

BEIJING -- China envisions self-driving technology for all private cars in a cutting-edge metropolis to be completed near Beijing by 2035, taking aim at U.S. supremacy in autonomous vehicles and pitting authority-driven progress against free market innovation.
The Xiongan New Area project represents an attempt by the ruling Communist Party to use developmental dictatorship -- the pursuit of economic growth at the expense of public participation in politics -- to build infrastructure and legal systems at a pace other countries cannot match.
President Xi Jinping unveiled the ambitious Xiongan project last year as part of a "millennial strategy." The high-tech "smart" city will be built about 100km southwest of the Chinese capital in a rural zone of Hebei Province. The population is projected to surpass 2 million by 2022, with the megacity eventually rivaling Tokyo by expanding to an area of about 2,000 sq. km. Total investment looks to reach 2 trillion yuan ($313 billion).
A model area within the zone will be designated for developing autonomous-driving technology based on artificial intelligence as well as providing support for related industries, according to a government outline released in April.
Much of the city's transportation infrastructure, including roads and railways, will be built underground, said former Shanghai Mayor Xu Kuangdi, who helped draft the plans.
Self-driving private vehicles will complement public transport systems, said Chen Gang, the project's overseer and secretary of the Xiongan New Area CPC Working Committee.
Designing the new megacity around self-driving automobiles eliminates problems associated with adapting existing infrastructure to cope with a mix of regular and automated vehicles -- as well as pedestrians. China hopes to use Xiongan as a model for future cities worldwide.
In March, a self-driving car struck and killed a pedestrian while being tested by ride-hailing company Uber Technologies on a public road in the U.S. state of Arizona. The incident highlighted the difficulty of handling the unexpected events that arise from incorporating automated driving into existing frameworks.
The international Geneva and Vienna conventions on road traffic assume alert and observant human drivers, which creates difficulties for many countries in building legal systems to accommodate highly autonomous vehicles. But China has ratified neither, and the Communist Party can use its unchecked authority to shape laws and otherwise prepare an environment for automated driving.
China's Changan Automobile launched "level 2" self-driving technology for the consumer market in March, an international standard in which cars can assist in functions such as accelerating and braking. Level 5 represents full automation.
But that puts the country behind foreign automakers such as Germany's Audi, which plans to debut a luxury sedan this year that in some markets will feature the world's first commercial level 3 automated driving. China's government aims to lean on the accelerator for development.
Chinese web search company Baidu was awarded the chance to help develop the Xiongan smart city. Teaming with the Hebei government, Baidu plans a research center for automobile technologies using AI and other tools. Public transport infrastructure and self-driving tech are being developed cohesively under the project, and tests using advanced 5G data networks began in March in cooperation with state-owned China Telecom.
Beijing's push to promote technology and infrastructure for autonomous driving -- and spread them globally -- stirs wariness in Washington. Peter Navarro, trade policy adviser and assistant to U.S. President Donald Trump, has said China seeks to dominate these "industries of the future" including AI.
The struggle for high-tech hegemony appears to be eclipsing the U.S. trade deficit as the focal point of Sino-American trade tensions. Washington not only accuses Beijing of violating intellectual property rights, but also criticizes China for heavily subsidizing technological development.
Since the 1960s, many emerging nations in Asia and South America curtailed public participation in government in the name of rapid growth and modernization. Many of the countries have shifted toward democracy as they develop, but China remains an exception. Despite China becoming the world's second-largest economy, the Communist Party still calls the shots and domestic businesses, whether private or state-owned, move in step to achieve the targets set by the party. Such a system appears as alien to those accustomed to free markets.
Yet foreign automakers and information technology companies flock to China. The Baidu-led development project includes Ford Motor and Germany's Daimler as well as U.S. chipmakers Intel and Nvidia and computing giant Microsoft. Beijing urges participation by foreign businesses, looking to assimilate cutting-edge technology and overseas development.
China remains the world's largest new-car market, with unit sales of 28.87 million last year standing 70% greater than the second-place U.S. The movement of such a large market toward automated driving with strong government backing cannot be ignored, said an executive at a major automaker outside China.

 Provide an overview of the current status of the Sumatran rhino.

With less than 80 Sumatran rhinoceroses left in the wild, and only a few in captivity, the Sumatran rhino, the smallest of the five species of this endangered family of odd-toed ungulates, was officially declared extinct in Malaysia in 2015.
The two-horned Asian rhino currently competes with the Javan rhino (of which there are about 100 left in the wild) for the unenviable title of most threatened rhino species.
Untempered poaching and massive habitat loss have already led to the disappearance of the Sumatran rhino in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, and it is only a matter of time unless the little, long-haired creature vanishes from the world completely.
Notwithstanding, late last month, a global conservation effort to preserve the critically endangered Sumatran rhino was begun under the auspices of the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF), in cooperation with the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission, Global Wildlife Conservation, the International Rhino Foundation, the National Geographic Society and the Indonesian government.
Working with the WWF and the other nonprofit conservation groups, the Indonesian government plans to build two new rhino breeding sanctuaries, in Sumatra and Indonesian Borneo.
Currently, there is only one such reservation, built by the International Rhino Foundation in Way Kambas National Park in southern Sumatra in 1998. So far, only a handful of rhinos have been born at this site.
It is considered to be the only reproductively viable center in the world for captive Sumatran rhinos.
But unless the Way Kambas sanctuary and its two new companion rhino reserves are successful in breeding live rhino calves, the Sumatran rhino is expected to disappear entirely within in 15 years.

 What's the latest news about Coinbase?

Coinbase has been undoubtedly one of the major exchanges when it comes to volume traded and is valued at $8 billion. In the coming days, it will be getting an investment boost of about $500 million from Tiger Global. In addition to this, another $250 million are going to be used to enhance its financial position.
In just one year, its valuation increased from just $1.5 billion to over $8 billion because of the Bitcoin boom which reached a whopping $20,000 in December 2017. Since then, the market has been steadily crashing with investors no longer find crypto mining a profitable business.
The crash also led to losses for Coinbase, which is a Bitcoin and altcoin broker. Despite being in a tough situation, Brian Armstrong, the CEO, told the people that they are more interested in creating an open financial system and that Coinbase Learn is just a simple resource which helps professional as well as beginners to help trade and educate themselves about the crypto world. Armstrong, who has been listed in the Fortune's 40, says that his company would become the Google of cryptocurrency market.
The company, in a recent blog, published their accomplishments, investments and much more. They have invested in nine companies this quarter, namely, Public Market, Horizon Games, and Coinmine among several others.

 Describe the plans for an amusement park in Houston, TX.

This Houston family is richest in Texas and among wealthiest in U.S.
In a a recent informal lunch with members of the media as he approached six months in office, Mayor Sylvester Turner ticked off the important things his administration has accomplished — unanimous passage of a balanced budget, pothole repairs — and issues he plans to tackle — the pension mess, the Kush problem in city parks, serious street repair projects, job development.
But what really got the mayor excited is the idea of a major amusement park within the city limits of Houston. "If we want to be that destination city in terms of conferences and tourism, we have to have that component in this city," he said.
"It's one thing to have the rodeo, that's once a year for three weeks. The Super Bowl will be here and gone. The America Cup COPA, came, gone. NCAA (Final Four), come and gone. We need a major amusement center in this city, especially to focus on our families and young population that's every day in this city."
Turner said the park would have to be located in Houston and not in a suburb.
"I'm not talking about in Katy or Tomball or Spring or Pearland," he said. "I'm talking about within the 640 square miles of the city of Houston. That's something we are missing and we are putting out in the atmosphere. Hopefully there will be major investors who are looking within the 640 square miles. You can't be the fourth largest city, soon to be the third, and not have that added component. So we are taking a very hard look at finding that sort of amusement center."
AstroWorld thrilled a generation of amusement park goers with several roller coasters, including the Texas Cyclone, the iconic Astroneedle, and dozens of rides, including Thunder River, the world's first river rapids ride. The park, located south of the Astrodome, opened in 1968 and was acquired by Six Flags in 1975. It closed in 2005.
Since then, the Houston area has not had a comparable park, although plans for The Grand Texas Theme Park in New Caney were announced with much fanfare in 2013. Although the project has suffered numerous setbacks and delays, the first phase, Grand Texas RV Resort, a 140-space luxury RV resort, is planning to open this year, according to the East Montgomery County Observer.

 Name three animated female characters and discuss why they make positive role models.

March is Women’s History Month, the perfect time to celebrate women, real and fictional, who have inspired us and sparked our imaginations. But you don’t have to be a Wonder Woman or a Furiosa to inspire others — inspiration can come in even the smallest packages, so let’s take some time to celebrate the young girls whose animated escapades teach us a thing or two about facing fears, embracing challenges, and being ourselves.
Maggie is an intrepid 5-year-old who conjures up an imaginary world where she and her friends Hamilton Hocks and Ferocious Beast play and have adventures. Maggie has a creative spirit that makes her a fearless explorer and a clever problem-solver. Whether it’s figuring out how to get a new friend’s elephant-sized carrot out of the ground, or helping a pair of entrepreneurial chickens fix their broken delivery truck, Maggie steps in with cheery confidence and puts her nimble brain to work. But the best thing about Maggie is the world she’s built. Every fantastical facet of Nowhere Land emerges from Maggie’s mind, and it’s obvious that she has imagination for days. The giant yellow Beast with three horns and red polka dots, the talking sweater-wearing pig, the River of Dreams and mountains made of cheese; she’s invented everything we see in the show, and it’s a delight to see her revel in her imagination and shape her own world. Go, Maggie!
Lillian (“Lil”) is not talked about nearly enough in the canon of feminist critique — which I think is an outrage! It might be because Lillian’s feminist mojo sometimes flies under the radar. She makes it look effortless. I know what you’re thinking: She’s a toddler. But toddler or no, I think we can all agree that Lillian is true to herself. She embraces a love of bugs, dirt, adventure, and functional playwear that makes her an inspiration. It never occurs to her to worry about keeping up with the bouncing, diaper-filling antics of the Rugrats boys. The only downside to Lil is that we don’t get enough of her. Spin-off, anyone?
Eliza Thornberry is the younger daughter of the globe-trekking Thornberry family. Her parents are nature documentary filmmakers, but Eliza Thornberry takes their wild spirit one step further. With the help of her intelligent pet chimp Darwin, she often sets out to assist or meet countless kinds of animals — because Eliza can talk to them. Not only is she fearless and adventurous, Eliza Thornberry was a grade-A geek in a time before that was cool and marketable. From her giant glasses and braces to her love of bugs and bears, she boldly embraced all the things that made her awkward and weird. Eliza didn’t just embrace the outdoors, she dove into it headfirst (sometimes literally). She’s a role model for curiosity, exploration, and embracing strange new experiences. Who wouldn’t want that for their kid — or themselves?
The show may have been named Inspector Gadget, but we all know Penny was the real hero. Using gadgets and the help of her canine sidekick, Brain, Penny secretly solved tough cases and foiled evil plots while her hapless Uncle Gadget bumbled in and out of danger. Penny is the pinch hitter of pinch hitters. In the contest for World’s Greatest Detective, Penny Gadget could seriously give Batman a run for his money. (I neither admit nor deny that I may already be writing that fanfic crossover; but the world needs that crime-fighting team). As a semi-adult, tax-paying, non-animated woman, I can readily admit that I have been in many life situations that Penny Gadget could undoubtedly handle better than I could. Penny is smart, strong, and almost supernaturally observant. In fact, the more I think about it, Penny may be an actual superhero. Whether it’s unraveling evil schemes or getting her uncle out of scrapes, Penny handles it with a confidence and can-do attitude that’s a great model for any kid (or adult) to follow. Penny for President, my compatriots! Make America great again!
These girls may be small, but they pack a big punch. Who are some of your favorite animated heroines?

 Can you tell me more about Andalusia and its cultural heritage?

Spain’s Islamic centuries (AD 711-1492) left a particularly rich heritage of exotic and beautiful palaces, mosques, minarets and fortresses in Andalusia, which was always the heartland of Al-Andalus (as the Muslim- ruled areas of the Iberian Peninsula were known). These buildings make Andalusia visually unique in Europe and have to be classed as its greatest architectural glory. Nor is the legacy of the Islamic era just a matter of the big, eye-catching monuments: after the Christian reconquest of Andalucia (1227-1492), many Islamic buildings were simply repurposed for Christian ends. As a result, many of today’s Andalucian churches are simply converted mosques (most famously at Cördoba), many church towers began life as minarets, and the zig-zagging streets of many an old town – Granada’s Albayzin district is just one famous example originated in labyrinthine Islamic-era street plans.
The Mezquita’s later enlargements extended the lines of arches to cover an area of nearly 120 sq metres, making it one of the biggest of all mosques. These arcades afford ever-changing perspectives, vistas disappearing into infinity and plays of light and rhythm that rank among the Mezquita’s most mesmerising and unique features. The most important enlargement was carried out in the 960s by Al-Hakim II, who created a magnificent new mihrab, decorated with superb Byzantine mosaics imitating those of the Great Mosque of Damascus, one of the outstanding 8th-century Syrian Omayyad buildings. In front of the mihrab Al-Hakim II added a new royal prayer enclosure, the maksura. The maksura’ s multiple interwoven arches and lavishly decorated domes were much more intricate and technically advanced than anything previously seen in Europe. The maksura formed part of a second axis to the building, an aisle running along in front of the wall containing the mihrab known as the qibla wall because it indicates the qibla, the direction of Mecca. This transverse axis, at right angles to the central nave, creates the T-plan that features strongly in many mosques.
Granada’s splendour reached its peak under emirs Yusuf I (r 1333-54) and Mohammed V (r 1354-59 and 1362-91). Each was responsible for one of the Alhambra’s two main palaces. Yusuf created the Palacio de Comares (Comares Palace). The brilliant marquetry ceiling of the Salön de Comares (Comares Hall) here, representing the seven levels of the Islamic heavens and capped by a cupola representing the throne of Allah, served as the model for Islamic-style ceilings in State rooms for centuries afterwards. Mohammed V takes credit for the Palacio de los Leones (Palace of the Lions), focused on the famed Patio de los Leones (Patio of the Lions), with its colonnaded gallery and pavilions and a central fountain channelling water through the mouths of 12 stone lions. This palace’s Sala de Dos Hermanas (Hall of Two Sisters) features a fantastic muqarnas dorne of 5000 tiny cells, recalling the constellations.

 Explain the ruling of the Delhi High Court on an incident of physical contact amounting to sexual harassment. Respond in detail.

The HC said there should be context while defining a physical contact as sexual in nature.
Plainly, a mere accidental physical contact, even though unwelcome, would not amount to sexual harassment, the court said.
NEW DELHI: Unwelcome or accidental physical contact without undertones of a sexual nature doesn't amount to sexual harassment, the Delhi high court has ruled.
Upholding the clean chit given to a former CRRI scientist with regard to a complaint of an ex-colleague against him, the HC said there should be context while defining a physical contact as sexual in nature. The woman scientist had challenged the clean chit given by the CRRI internal complaints panel to her colleague, whom she had accused of sexual harassment. Undoubtedly, physical contact or advances would constitute sexual harassment provided such physical contact is a part of the sexually determined behaviour. Such physical contact must be in the context of a behaviour which is sexually oriented. Plainly, a mere accidental physical contact, even though unwelcome, would not amount to sexual harassment. Similarly, a physical contact which has no undertone of a sexual nature and is not occasioned by the gender of the complainant may not necessarily amount to sexual harassment,“ Justice Vibhu Bakhru noted.
Both the scientists were working in the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) .
In her complaint, the woman had referred to an incident of April 2005 when the man entered the laboratory where she was working, grabbed her arm, snatched the samples from her hand and threw them on the floor.He also pushed her out of the room. She maintained that this was an unwelcome physical contact that would amount to sexual harassment.
Justice Bakhru also rejected the woman's second ground of appeal where she had challenged the constitution of the committee and the disciplinary authority, saying that it finds no infirmity in their set up.

 "Time to find out who finds your none sense. Attacking families Disgraceful."

As a Human Rights Activist surely you realise that expelling children from schools based on their nationality is racism?
Time to find out who finds your none sense . Attacking families Disgraceful .
Wow, Do you really believe in targeting children? Peter I'm surprised that you think it's acceptable to punish children for who their parents are.
It wasn’t just his comments on children that drew censure. Many took issue with Tatchell’s assertion that Russia has committed war crimes in Syria, with some users accusing him of not addressing the foreign policy of his adopted country – the UK – and its own involvement in the region.
You're talking about a Russia after collapse of the USSR. This Russia no longer exists which show your views to be definitively stuck in the past. Any Russian oligarchs still here in UK, fled from Russia with their ill-gotten gains & are helping to prop up a Tory government!
Very sad to see you lost in the hysterical jingoism infecting the UK currently Peter. The same tired accusations without evidence. Havn't people in Britain realized the mechanisms used to achieve regime change yet? How many times will the jingoistic buttons work? Lies for War.
Syria? Are you REALLY going down this road? I would stay faaaar away from mentioning Syria.
You have become a mouthpiece for the imperialist west, repeating propagandist narratives without question.
The backlash against his comments appeared to have no influence on Tatchell. Whilst he didn’t reply to any of them specifically, he did take to Twitter again to reiterate his stance on Syria and Russia.

 Describe the meaning of the masonic symbols on the 3d Victory Issue postage stamp issued in the United Kingdom in June 1940.

Since England first issued postage stampsthe famous "Penny Blacks"in 1840, only five special issues have ever been printed. It is singularly gratifying to the Fraternity that the "Victory Issue" put on sale last June in Gt. Britain contains much of masonic interest.
The 3 penny denomination of the Special Issue, illustrated herewith, displays several masonic symbols with unmistakable prominence. H.M. the King chose the design himself from several submitted to him for the commemorative Victory Issue.
The dominating feature of the three penny stamp is the face of King George VI surmounted by a crown. Significantly, if the stamp is properly oriented, as a map with north to the top, the King is in the east.
In the centre flies a dove carrying the olive branch, from time immemorial the symbol of peace. It is a familiar emblem, being found on the wands and collars of the Deacons.
Brotherly love amongst men is symbolized by the juxtaposition of the square and compasses. The former reminding us "to act on the square," and the latter "to keep in due bounds with ail mankiind. The compasses are at an angle of 45°, one point above and the other below the square, the position of Fellowcraft. It should be noted that the older form of square is portrayed, this type is seen particularly in connection with the Masters jewel, also that of the Past Master. The two arms are of unequal length and represent the Greek letter "G" or "Gamma," denoting "God, the Grand Geometrician of the Universe."
The presence of a trowel and portion of a brick wall are not without significance, both in the operative and the speculative sense. While the trowel is not now recognized under the English or Canadian constitution, it is an important symbol in the Scottish and the American Craft, emblematically spreading the cement of brotherly love among mankind. Also cleverly depicted in the curlicue engraving are five Ys denoting the 15 Fellowcrafts associated with the legend in the English work. The other symbols are surrounded or nestled and protected by this emblematical group.
The Freemasons Chronicle of London, states: "It is singularly appropriate that the message thus conveyed by these emblems should be found, one may be almost permitted to surmise with purpose aforethought on the part of our M.W. Brother, the King, Past Grand Master, on the 3d. issue of the new stamps, used only for postage to foreign lands where the full significance of these emblems may not be lost, and the need for their reminder have greater force."
Reynold Stone, a descendant of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the celebrated portrait painter, is the designer. Although a relatively young man he achieved a degree of fame for his engravings of the Royal Coat of Arms for the Coronation Service.
Of interest to stamp collectors, the photogravure process was used for the Victory Issue. They are printed on special paper supplied by the firm making paper for the Bank of England notes. Only 24,000,000 of the 3d. have been issued. Post Office officials expect the issue to last about two months, after which no fresh supplies will be printed.
After World War I, several "Peace" or "Reconstruction" issues were printed. The 25 mark German Republic stamp of 1919 depicts a trowel and bricks similar to the English 3d. King Solomons Throne was featured some years ago on an Abyssinian stamptheir "King of Kings" claims direct descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Many other issues of more obscure symbolism can be found by keen philatelists.
The appearance of masonic symbols on a postage stamp in such a distinctive manner must surely be without precedent, and from this point of view the 3d. English "Victory Issue" is perhaps the most interesting stamp ever printed.
"The stamp was designed by a Mr. Reynolds Stone (a descendent of the painter Sir Joshua Reynolds, but not a freemason). It was one of a number of designs submitted to H.M. King George VI when it was decided in 1946 to celebrate the ending of the second World War and the beginning of a necessary period of reconstruction. Hence the designer used the Dove of Peace (a time immemorial symbol) to symbolise the coming of peace; the trowel and brick wall were to symbolise rebuilding; the square and compasses (the implements of architects and planners) were to symbolise planning for the future. The curly scrollwork, rather than representing a chain of figure threes or the F.P. of F. is simply the artist's device to unify his design. Similarly, the arrangement of the square and compasses is not connected with the F.C. but is an artists/designer's arrangement of those implements well known in a non-masonic context, where the device has appeared on books, maps, charts and pottery since the seventeenth century. It is impossible to state whether or not the masonic symbolism which it is possible to read into some of the design had any influence on His Majesty when he chose the design.
"At the time of the issue of the stamp the King was not Grand Master as, like his predecessors, he resigned all masonic offices on his accession. In 1936 when he succeeded his brother he was Provincial Grand Master for Middlesex, England, and Grand Master Mason of Scotland. He was invested as a Past Grand Master of England at an Especial Grand Lodge held on 30th June 1937 in celebration of his coronation".
Excerpted from correspondence received by M.W. Bro. D.M. Taylor from Bro. T.O. Haunch, Librarian and Curator, United Grand Lodge of England, printed in Masonic Bulletin, vol. xli, no. 1, September 1977, p. 7.
