Choose currency:
The first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, all operating independently of a central bank.
An open-source, public, blockchain-based computing platform that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications. Ether (ETH), the crypto token that fuels the Ethereum network acts as a tradeable cryptocurrency and is used to pay for transaction fees and services on the network.
Both a digital currency (XRP) and a distributed real-time payment protocol within which that currency is transferred. Ripple's distributed technology aims to enable banks to send real-time international payments across networks; to meet growing demands for faster, low-cost, on-demand global payment services.
BitTorrent Protocol is the world’s largest decentralized protocol with over 1 billion users. BitTorrent Inc. invented and maintains the BitTorrent protocol. While there are many implementations of BitTorrent software, BitTorrent and µTorrent (often called “utorrent”) remain two of the most popular.
ZCash is a privacy driven cryptocurrency. It uses the Equihash as an algorithm, which is an asymmetric memory-hard Proof of Work algorithm based on the generalized birthday problem. It relies on high RAM requirements to bottleneck the generation of proofs and making ASIC development unfeasible.
A decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that came into existence as a result of a hard fork from the original bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin Cash emerged after some of the leading backers disagreed on how to take Bitcoin further and are utilizing a new proposal that consists of a new transaction type and an increase in block limit size.
An open-source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that uses the scrypt proof of work algorithm as opposed to Bitcoin's hashing algorithm. Litecoin was originally created to improve upon Bitcoin by speeding up transaction confirmations.
A peer-to-peer cryptocurrency (XEM) and blockchain platform that has introduced new features in blockchain technology through its proof-of-importance (POI) algorithm, encrypted messaging system, multisignature accounts and Eigentrust++ reputation system.
TRON is one of the largest blockchain-based operating systems in the world.
An open-source, blockchain-based computing platform that came into existence as a result of the DAO hard-fork. Identical to Ethereum up to a certain block (block 1920000), Ethereum Classic consolidated members of the Ethereum community who rejected the fork.
An open-source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that offers all the features of Bitcoin as well as other capabilities which include private transactions, instant transactions and decentralized governance.
A new transactional settlement and data integrity layer for the Internet of Things. IOTA is based on a new distributed ledger architecture which aims to overcome inefficiencies of current Blockchain designs to introduce a new way of reaching peer-to-peer consensus.
An open-source cryptocurrency that is heavily focused on privacy, decentralisation and scalability. Monero is based on the CryptoNote protocol and has significant algorithmic differences to Bitcoin.
Stratis is a Blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) Platform, created to provide solutions for corporations in the financial sector that want to enjoy the benefits of Blockchain technology. Stratis allows companies to create their custom blockchain applications with the features they require, making the development process simpler and accelerating the development lifecycle for blockchain projects.
China's first original and open-source public blockchain. Initially known as Antshares, Neo aims to support multiple types of digital assets as well as allow users to establish smart contracts to enhance and enrich the functions of said digital assets.
Qtum is an open source Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain application platform. Qtum’s core technology combines a fork of Bitcoin Core, an Account Abstraction Layer allowing for multiple Virtual Machines including the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Proof-of-Stake consensus aimed at tackling industry use cases.
BitConnect is an open source all in one bitcoin and crypto community platform designed to provide multiple investment opportunities with cryptocurrency education where it is entirely possible to find the independence we all desire, in a community of like-minded, freedom loving individuals who, like you, are seeking the possibility of income stability in a very unstable world.
Bitcoin Gold is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain. At block 491407, Bitcoin Gold miners will begin creating blocks with a new proof-of-work algorithm, and this will cause a bifurcation of the Bitcoin blockchain. The original Bitcoin blockchain will continue on unaltered, but a new branch of the blockchain will split off from the original chain. The new branch is a distinct blockchain with the same transaction history as Bitcoin up until the fork, but then diverges from it. As a result of this process, a new cryptocurrency is born.
Cardano is a decentralised public blockchain and cryptocurrency project and is fully open source. Cardano is developing a smart contract platform which seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed. It is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach. The development team consists of a large global collective of expert engineers and researchers
Stellar is a platform that connects banks, payments systems, and people. Integrate to move money quickly, reliably, and at almost no cost.
ArcBlock is a platform for building and deploying decentralized blockchain applications. The ArcBlock will focus on the business sector and aims to mitigate the barriers that have been slowing the blockchain adoption for businesses.
The EOS.IO Testnet has arrived. Scalable decentralized applications can now be built and tested in a public environment.

Museveni launches Uganda's first phone manufacturing plant
by DAILY MONITORIn Summary
- The plant by Chinese firm, Engo, in Namanve in the capital Kampala will produce SIMI-branded handsets.
President Yoweri Museveni on Friday launched Uganda's first mobile phone manufacturing and assembling plant.
The plant by Chinese firm, Engo, in Namanve in the capital Kampala,will produce SIMI-branded handsets.
At full capacity, the factory will run three production lines; each line with daily production of 2,000 feature phones, 1,500 smart phones, 800 laptops, 2,000 chargers, 4,000 USB cables and 4000 sets of earphones and directly employing more than 400 staff.
“I am very happy with the Chinese solidarity with Uganda and Africa. Uganda is moving very well, the economy has grown to $35 billion using the normal method of calculating GDP,” said President Museveni.
He added that the only remaining challenge for his government to overcome was corruption.
“We don't have any other problem. We now have electricity, we are going to solve the problem of transport costs. We have also started solving the problem of ICT,” Museveni added.

Earlier, the State Minister for Investment and Privatization, Evelyn Anite said that manufacturing the phones locally will reduce the country’s import bill.
“A phone will cost only Ush20, 000 ($5). We are going to have a reduction in the importation of phones. The message I want to send to Ugandans today is to buy the products made in Uganda for the growth, development and betterment of our country,” said Ms Anite.
According to ICT Minister, Mr Frank Tumwebaze, one of the cost-push factors for internet is failure by people to afford devices that are able to connect to the internet.
“The phones we saw cannot connect to the internet but they are going to make smart phones. A plan is underway to connect all industrial Parks to the National Backbone infrastructure. Investors will not have to incur high costs of internet connectivity which in this day and age is an essential component of any industrial operation,” he said.

Oh hello friend, a conversation on what I’m learning this week? Basically… HTML is the cake and CSS is the icing and the plate. HTML is perfectly fine on it’s own but CSS makes it fancy and look good plus a bit easier to digest! And that eating process we have to do every day, that’s expressed in loops. Sometimes it’s cake but other times we don’t want cake and therefore have breakfast.
This order is more important in coding, sometimes if we have our cake before breakfast we just don’t work. And then we have a headache and something that doesn’t work. So to fix this we’d head over to our browser, from there we can check out all the coding I’ve been doing this week (just hit ctrl + shft + i) and bam! You’ve just started using what I’m apparently going to become really familiar with. I can fix all my coding issues from there!
Anyway back to the cake, we should go get food soon I think, but sometimes you want to take your cakes to other people's houses, and when you do that all of a sudden you have the impossible task of finding the right containers! Perhaps you’ve made cupcakes and you want them stored in an orderly fashion, or you’ve made an iced cake and can’t have another cake on top of it. This isn’t the best analogy but I’m going to force it. Perhaps the cupcakes have names on them but they are going to two different parties. The cupcakes need to be in the right place so they can be found when they are needed. For some reason one party preferred to be renamed with numbers. That party has a lot of reading if you’d like if you'd like to know many, many more theories but most of them seem quite logical.
And that almost sums is up for the week! But if we wanted to have those cupcakes ready to go, you’d get all those ingredients and make those cupcakes! In javascript we use functions to make stuff happen. The computer reads it and we get closer to the cupcakes doing whatever the cupcakes are going to do. The steps we use to make a cake are like the steps of a function. Put the eggs in, click a button, place in oven, set the timer and eventually, if all the steps come together in the right order you get whatever you set out to make.
 See ya!

Students and parents fill up chairs as Daniel Brenner, a freshman studying music production, works through his material during Ohio University’s Moms Weekend. It is Saturday night on the first floor of Baker, the night of the week that gives a chance for Blue Pencil Comedy members as well as new faces to try out material on an open-mic, and this particular Saturday is no different.
Lauren Modler
Daniel Bishop, a freshman studying music production, poses for a portrait in Baker Theater on April 5.
Brenner’s subject matter differs, however, from those who precede and follow him on stage.
Brenner is talking about cancer.
“I think I brought it up at one of my first shows,” Brenner said.
Brenner was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was 4 years old, and relapsed again when he was 8. Even for years after Brenner had recovered, he avoided bringing those times up to people whenever possible. He didn’t like the way he seemed to be treated differently by those who knew what he’d been through.
“For the longest time I kept to myself about it, mostly because I was always treated kind of with gloves and treated as fragile, even after the whole process was over,” Brenner said. “But being on stage and making jokes about it, it kind of softens the whole thing and makes it easier to deal with. It’s been a great experience, it’s really helped me build my self-confidence.”
Brenner’s story is distinct, but his motivation to perform isn’t unlike what drives many young comedians to the stage.
While many make the initial leap toward stand-up for the purpose of emulating comics they’d watched growing up and sharing their perspective with others, many also find it to be a chance to talk through hardships they might not feel comfortable addressing off stage. That could mean anything from opening up about a trying time from one’s past to using humor to deal with ongoing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
From “3 Mics,” a Netflix comedy special from Chappelle’s Show co-creator Neal Brennan which was released in January, to actor and comedian Chris Gethard’s “Career Suicide” one man show set to air on HBO in May, some nationally known comics have begun a trend of using the stage to shed light on darker subjects and turn them into topics that are OK to laugh at.
It doesn’t take a comic with a national tour schedule to use stand-up comedy to deal with personal struggles, though. Comedians on campus at OU can achieve the same benefit, even without attempting to tackle those serious subjects on stage.
“When you’re faced with things that make you sad all the time, you just want to laugh,” Emily Pyle, the vice president of Blue Pencil Comedy, said. “So you look for ways to see things in a funnier way. For me personally, when I’m feeling sad, the thing that makes me happy is to make other people laugh … So it really has helped me cope a lot with my own anxiety issues.”
Lauren Modler
Rachel Bishop, a freshman studying commercial photography, poses for a portrait in Baker Theater on April 5.
The effect that being on stage has on the performer is different from person to person. While some performers such as freshman Rachel Bishop say they don’t notice an impact on the way they think and behave off stage, Brenner said it has helped him make real progress from being the much more shy person he was when he arrived on campus in the fall.
“Off stage I do this thing where I feel like a spaceman, almost,” Bishop, who is studying commercial photography, said. “Like I’m just visiting a situation and there’s all these people in front of me and I’m not a part of it. When I get around this community of people that I’m comfortable with, and it’s something I love doing, and it’s something they love doing, I feel more grounded.”
Some comedians show less hesitation to dig into darker topics on stage, but then face the challenge of attempting to get a laugh while tackling more serious subjects. They can find help in doing so during pitch meetings before shows, when everyone from full-time members to first-timers come together to bounce joke ideas off each other.
During those meetings, comics will tweak jokes in areas such as delivery, word choice and the number of words used to tell it. It’s also a chance for comedians to evaluate what exactly they want their audience to laugh at, and what they’re trying to say with the joke.
“A lot of people are really invested in having the time and space to talk things out,” Peter Vilardi, a former Blue Pencil member who graduated in spring 2016, said. “There was a few times in college when I would go through some crappy situations and I would be like, ‘I can’t wait to tell this to the group because I know I’ll get a killer joke out of it.’ I think it’s really therapeutic.”
That comfort of coming to the group with a bad situation and being able to come away with a different perspective is good example of the community that comedy groups at OU foster with one another.
Lauren Modler
Ryan Harroff, a freshman studying journalism, poses for a portrait in Baker Theater on April 5.
Newcomers to the comedy landscape are welcomed and encouraged from the beginning, and have many chances to break into other comedic endeavors on campus. In addition to Blue Pencil Comedy, OU also has improv groups, and special events such as the women’s show that took place on Moms Weekend, which donated proceeds to the domestic violence agency My Sister’s Place.
“If standup comedy has therapeutic value, I think it’s the result of writing rather than performing,” Mark Schatz, professor emeritus of psychology at OU’s Zanesville campus, said in an email. “Writing, especially writing humor about painful events, provides perspective. By putting life into perspective, humor is a natural pain buffer.”
There’s a saying that goes “comedy is tragedy plus time,” but that’s not to say tragedy is a part of every good comedian’s material, nor is it every comic’s motivation for being on stage. That doesn’t change the fact that every comedian can bring their own stories and challenges to an audience, and come away with a perspective they didn’t have before.
“I think it’s a certain aspect of control,” Chrissy Grieshop, a junior studying political science, said. “When you’re on stage you have five minutes of perfect control that the entire audience has to listen to. In my personal experience, I think telling stories that are really close to me make it a little bit better and easier to think about because then you have those good memories associated with it.”

Question: Why is that important? Answer: Apart from raw counts, high positivity indicates the state should do more testing. Since COVID-19 is still "rare" in the population, testing only "sick" people will skew results above ~5%, according to WHO.

Case Notes
This chapter's use of general trust language does not impose upon the trustees all of the common law fiduciary duties; although this chapter does not use "discretion" in requiring the board to decide upon the structure of the health benefits plan, the legislature clearly intended that the board have broad discretion in its design; where trustees expressed concern regarding the impact a change to a three- or four-tier structure would have on the collective bargaining process, and also determined that the two-tiered structure would have a negative impact on the smallest percentage of plan participants, trustees did not abuse their discretion. 115 H. 126, 165 P.3d 1027.
The words "similarly situated beneficiary not eligible for medicare", as those words are used in §87A-23(1), or "similarly situated employee-beneficiary not eligible for medicare", as those words are used in §87A-23(3), invoke a comparison between medicare eligible retirees and retirees who do not qualify for medicare; thus, this chapter does not require the board of the employer-union health benefits trust fund to provide health benefits plans to retirees whose benefits "reasonably approximate" those benefits provided to active employees. 122 H. 402, 228 P.3d 282.


High Fidelity Rated [R], 115 minutes Starring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Jack Black Screenplay by D. V. DeVincentis & Steve Pink & John Cusack and Scott Rosenberg Based on the book by Nick Hornby Directed by Stephen Frears website: www.highfidelity.movies.com
IN SHORT: a passable GenX demo targeted flick
For two hours try to enjoy the new cinematic game "You Be The Therapist," as self-proclaimed [expletive + impolite euphemism for lower body part, hereafter] FA Rob Gordon (John Cusack) recounts his Top Five Most Humiliating Relationships in the wake of being dumped by current live-in flame Laura (Iben Hjejle). Perhaps in uncovering the reasons why he was dumped, he will find enlightenment and a permanent relationship. God knows it would make his weeping mother happy.
Rob runs a failing used record store and has borrowed cash from Laura, a lawyer, so there's that income insecurity to deal with, amidst all his other self-perceived problems. The man dumps his problems and revelations upon us which, by the end of the two hours and what passes for a happy ending, you may be sympathetic Rob or you may look on his continuing plight with a smug satisfaction born of passing through the kind of relationship Hell that he has experienced. Either way, you'll have no disagreement on the fact that, yes indeedy, Rob is a FA.
At least Rob is self-aware enough to realize what he is. That's not the case for his employee Barry (Jack Black) an overweight, abusive music elitist who, without deliberate intention, does his best to drive away what few customers wander in to Championship Vinyl on the North Side of Chicago. The record store itself is so empty that thoughts of television sitcom settings ran through Cranky's head. Indeed, most of the gags set inside the store are, language excepted, fit for teevee. Much meeker, but still an elitist, is co-worker Dick (Todd Louiso). The part-time pair, who show up for work full time because they have no other lives, have no girlfriends, don't seem to date or have any apparent hobbies other than a manic devotion to music and things vinyl. (Kinda like Cranky in his twenties, except for the dating and hobbies thing, which means I can almost empathize and I'm certainly amused). At least this pair have places to go in the course of this flick.
Said course will introduce us to the current whereabouts of all five of Rob's humiliators, beginning with a the hot and heavy first clutch of all, with Allison Ashmore (played at age 13 by Shannon Stillo) who strung poor Rob along for six hours over the course of three whole days, and destroyed whatever notions of respect of women his parents had tried to instill. We never see the adult Allison for reasons I won't spill, other than to say that she's not dead.  Ah, the humiliation . . . but it's nothing next to the two year relationship with Charlie Nicholson (Catherine Zeta-Jones) whose beauty puts her so far beyond Robs perceived status that his inadequacies, real or perceived, push the coupling towards certain doom. Finally there is Sarah (Lili Taylor) who has been suffered mightily in her affairs. So . .. it's better to sleep with another wretched soul than to sleep alone. Chicago winters being what they are (and they are all you might expect -- I've lived through 'em) keeping cozy is fine until spring fever breaks.
That brings us back to Laura, now shacked up with a "conflicts resolution counselor" named Ian (Tim Robbins). If anything, Rob's thoughts on what he'd like to do to the man who stole his gal are the funniest part of the movie. As rough as the breakup was, things just aren't settled between the two. They don't settle out in the way you'd expect 'em to. Rob at all times looks directly into the camera to explain it all to us which may help you bond with the FA or may not. Cranky settled for the smug satisfaction option, and Jack Black's character is funny enough that he wasn't bored.
On average, a first run movie ticket will run you Eight Bucks. Were Cranky able to set his own price to High Fidelity, he would have paid...
$4.00
High Fidelity is probably Dateflick for most GenXers and they can battle over how big a jerk Rob is afterwards. For the rest of us, its fit for a smaller screen and so is at pay per view level.

Hello, my name is Rich. This summer I took part in something called the Beep Baseball World Series. What is beep baseball? It's an adaptive version of regular baseball, but for people who are blind and visually impaired. Yes it is possible, with a baseball that beeps, bases that buzz, and a little help from some sighted volunteers to make it happen.
How Does This Work?
As I said, just like regular baseball (kinda), but the pitcher, the catcher, and batter are on the same team. Oh yeah, the pitcher and catcher can see, and the object is for the pitcher to try and make contact with his batter, rather than strike him out. This is achieved by a consistant swing from the batter and perfect placement and timing by the pitcher.
The next main difference is scoring. Once the batter makes contact with the ball either, first base or third (selected at random) will begin to buzz. The batter must run to that base. If he arrives before the ball is fielded by a defender, he is safe... or else he is out. These are the only two possible outcomes, so there is no second base, and there is no advancing home etc.
More details and rules.
There are many more rules and differences, but here are just a few.
- There are four strikes and one passed ball allowed.
- A home run is 170ft (with a 1lb ball). It counts as 2 runs.
- The bases are 3 feet tall, foam pileons.
- There are only six fielders and six batters in the lineup.
- All players wear a blindfold to keep the playing field equal, since some players do have little or limited vision.
- If a fly-ball is caught (only 2 ever on record) ut ciybts as 3 outs.
My Journey
My experience this summer was amazing. I traveled to Ames Iowa to compete in the World Series which involved 20 teams total from across the country. The tournament was 5 days long and consisted of a total of 9 games. Sometimes we played 3 per day. I played with a team from Denver Colorado called the Colorado Storm. We placed third in the tournament - which was exhilerating, but left a lot to be desired knowing we were so close to winning it all.And that brings me to the competitiveness. It is intense. I know, at first it sounds like a feel good story about blind people playing baseball - which it is - however, it is not taken lightly by these players. It involves for some - months of training, pracing, traveling and fund raising to prepare. The sport itself highly physical. it involves running at full speed into that 3 foot high pileon. Diving on the ground to field a ball, and even sometimes full on collisions.
For more information
I could go on forever about it, but there is already a wealth of info online about the sport. So here are some helpful links and contact information.
