My Encounter with group of Afghan US interpreters

The last thing you expect to see when you wake up in the morning here in sleepy middle of nowhere Montesano, Washington State….is a car load of escaped frightened Afghan US Military Refugees. Well, there are other things but you know what I mean.

I post enough pictures of Rocky the “Wonder Dog” here that most of you know he is a big boy. Alright, a house cow.

It is summer farmer’s market here in Bulldog County and the wife and I decided to try out our new metal collar we got for him and walk around bit.

After waiting forever for Linda to appear at the door ready to go, (don’t get me started) Rocky wasn’t waiting any longer. He bolted.

Now I am pretty rural, sort of. It is rare for a strange car to be anywhere near me, let alone 6 mid twenty looking men standing around at the edge of my property.

Rocky wanted to meet them.

Great Danes can clock in at about 40mph, and Rocky was testing the record this morning. He closed the distance just as the last of the group of men were pulling in their feet diving through the windows. Literally diving.

The driver was a US citizen and had his arms out, he knew a dog was coming up to greet, waging his tail, and not aggressive.

I walked over and coaxed the men out of the car and learned they were just brought in from Canada and on their way to the airport to go to Detroit.

It was an eye opener for me. These were all well mannered clean cut young men who couldn’t have been more polite and excited to be here.

Turns out, they were brought in by a Canadian NGO rescuing interpreters that worked for the US military and were left behind. And I mean rescue. Welcome and thank you. I said it plenty.

I didn’t have to take the word of the driver that they were US Military helpers during the war, the men were very worried that I was some sort of “home guard”. They weren’t scared of Rocky anymore. They were frightened of me walking up to them.

Two of them were trying to show me papers.

I haven’t seen this since being in Asia myself in the Military. You tend to forget and take for granted how good we have it here.

Eventually, after the wife came over and we all started talking, they began to relax, a bit. Still on formal behavior.

You really have to wonder just how bad it has been for those we left behind in Afghanistan. It must have been hell for them when we left. I hope those guys do ok, I really do. Its one thing to read about what happened when we (Biden) broke our promise, it is quite another to see it in the eyes of someone.

I feel a little shame myself today. Our politicians act in our name.

They came over on the ferry from Canada and were making the scenic loop around the Olympic Peninsula and on up to Seattle. Apparently, according to the driver, Rocky was the first American they met. It was a friendly, although a little slobbery, welcome.

Getting Best Possible Refinance Mortgage Rates made Simple

Getting Best Possible Refinance Mortgage Rates made Simple

Article by John Young

The rate of interest at which you get your home refinanced is called refinance mortgage rate. There are several factors like your credit score/record, your preferred lender and the overall loan market trends that decide your refinance interest rate. At times refinancing your home can be a necessity due to many reasons like you may find yourself in an insurmountable debt or you may want to buy another or bigger home, or you would like to get a lower interest rate than the current one and so on.

Any of these reasons might tempt you for refinancing your home. However one concern that remains is that you would like to have the best possible mortgage refinance rate. Identical to any other loan, the interest rate will rely on your credit record, your monthly income, your debts and other obligations. Based on these factors, if you meet the criteria for a low refinance interest rate, then it is fine however if you do not meet the criteria for it now, wait and develop your credit score at first.

You can certainly develop your credit score by paying off any missed monthly payment, late or overdue credit card dues, unpaid loan, or if you have a low debt to income ratio problem by increasing your income level by doing some part time job and at the same time reducing your debts. Given that all these factors contribute towards a low credit rating till that time refinancing may not be a beneficial deal for you. Yet, it is not unfeasible to get your home refinanced, you just need to look around for a mortgage lender who can give you a lowest refinance mortgage rate possible. Besides your excellent credit record, there are a few other facts which you must think about earlier than refinancing which are discussed below.

A part mortgage refinance will increase the interest rate therefore prefer complete mortgage refinance. Besides influencing the refinance interest rate is any open line of credit on your home equity. It is wise to consult a mortgage expert or broker earlier than preferring a complete refinance. If you at present have the best mortgage rate, in that case refinancing may not be that beneficial to you, rather you may end up paying more money as a result of all the additional costs involved in refinancing, for instance the processing fee and closing costs. Since cashing out your home equity is not good for your financial condition, you should think about cashing out your home equity only in dire need. Hence, lenders offer a lowest refinance mortgage rate, if your home equity is unharmed when you choose to refinance your mortgage.

You CAN kiss in the very first time and ‘ghosting’ is certainly not polite… Debrett’s offers guidance to around 50s that are baffled by internet dating

You CAN kiss in the very first time and ‘ghosting’ is certainly not polite… Debrett’s offers guidance to around 50s that are baffled by internet dating

The decorum specialists need launched a manual for gold surfers who would like to make the leap about online dating world

THEY’RE better-known for suggestions about cutlery decorum when how-to manage royalty but Debrett’s has waded deaf dating site in UK in on the online dating sites world.

The genteel team offers pointers towards the through 50s on how best to bargain the difficult arena of internet dating hook-ups within the 21st 100 years.

Research has shown that almost a million over 50s would want to continue internet dating sites but I have no clue tips ‘Swipe Appropriate’ or satisfy visitors IRL (in actual life).

The brand new on the web Guide to 50+ relationship — a collaboration between Debrett’s as well as the Ourtime internet dating service for the elderly — is aimed at helping people who would like to get back the dating scene but “need a helping hand receive started”.

Below are a few regarding the information the newest handbook brings:

Polishing Your Profile

Ourtime learned that 56 percent of over 50s would use a photograph which over a decade older to wow potential dates but Debrett’s warn against deception.

The tips guide suggests the visibility visualize should always be “no significantly more than a year old”.

It claims “There’s no reason wanting to mislead their date should anyone ever desire to see in person.”

Confidant Interaction

About two-thirds more than 50s become much less self-confident now than whenever they comprise more youthful and around half of female stated they certainly were too anxious to make the basic experience of an internet complement.

Debrett’s suggests females which’s okay to make the basic step.

It brings: “Keep very first information light-hearted and brief, while making it private: mentioning things you particularly like about a person’s profile will show that you’re singling them .

“Don’t getting weird, though: it’s much too very early for come-ons or innuendo.”

Make Fulfilling Memorable

The handbook recommends that after five emails, “it is sensible to make step and suggest a date”.

They brings: “Tailor the day around a shared interest, like a trip to an exhibition.”

What’s more, it says to customers it’s good to kiss from the basic day.

It checks out: “Modern relationship often entails a briefer ‘courting’ period, so don’t sense you’re jeopardising potential prospects if for example the intuition become suggesting to put extreme caution toward wind”.

The Follow-up

How long will you waiting to content following first big date? This issue is certainly one for all many years.

Debrett’s recommends: “Strategic delay isn’t essential” and says a friendly text message in 24 hours or less of appointment is the norm.

But “ghosting” just isn’t courteous.

They says: “It’s better to be truthful through the start and say how much cash you liked meeting all of them, but that you’d would rather continue to be pals.”

The majority of look over in Incredible

Acquiring Closer

The guide consists of a chapter on the best way to go affairs on following the earliest day.

Based on Debrett’s, “After three or maybe more schedules, you certainly will often have a feeling of whether or not you would want to allow exclusive”.

In case it willn’t exercise, Kate from Ourtime claims, “Never stop, you can find virtually one million solitary over 50’s in the UK that happen to be already online dating sites and would love to see some body new”.

Divorcee Karen lately shared exactly why she makes use of online dating sites at 53 – and mentioned younger people are lining up as of yet their.

Looking Back

Decorating memories

By Mary Ellen Shaw

The elements of decorating seem to come together so easily when you watch the process on HGTV. However, that hasn’t always been the case when I have changed the décor in my own home.

My inability to make a decision got its launch right after college. I had come back home to live with my mother. My father had passed away recently and home was where I wanted to be. Both of us needed a project to keep us busy. We decided that our bedrooms could use a fresh and bright look. We weren’t sure where to start but decided to select wallpaper first. Back in the 1960s there were several stores that had multiple shelves of wallpaper books. Talk about overwhelming! We quickly learned that it was best to decide what “look” we wanted – country, formal, floral, plaid, etc.

Since I was a college graduate and 21 years old, I was officially an “adult.” That meant being a true partner in this project. As we browsed we found that we had similar tastes and left the store with about a half-dozen books, all with floral prints. Then the fun began.

We took the books to our bedrooms, flipped through them and marked the pages we liked best. Eventually we both whittled our choices down to just one.

You have probably heard the expression, “Great minds think alike.” Well, in our case we both liked exactly the same pattern. We laughed about it and solved the problem by choosing different colors of that pattern.

We had begun the decorating journey! The next step was deciding between curtains or drapes. We had always had curtains so thought that drapes would be a nice change. The quest began. Downtown Rutland had several stores that carried drapes but nothing seemed like a good match. However, when we got to Home Fashions on Center Street our problem was solved.

Store owners Joe and Frances Gluck offered the “personal touch.” They actually made drapes in the store. They suggested that we bring in a wallpaper sample to see which fabric looked best with it. Joe offered to come to the house and measure the windows. He would help us with trim options, such as fringe, and help us decide on the length as well as checking to see if we would need a valance. This project was looking a whole lot easier!

Home Fashions was “one-stop shopping” for us as the store had beautiful bedspreads. Thanks to the Glucks everything came together beautifully. The rooms looked great and even with a matching wallpaper pattern the rooms didn’t have a “copy cat” look.

Different accessories … different looks!

Fast forward to the 80s when my husband, Peter, and I moved into my family home after my mother passed away. The living room had a very dated look and once again I couldn’t figure out how to tie it all together. A relative had used local decorator Tom Harris to help her remodel their living room and I loved the results. What I loved even more was the fact that he brought everything to the house. There were no wallpaper books to bring home and no paint samples to agonize over. So we hired Tom, who came to our house to learn out about our tastes and color preferences and to discuss wallpaper versus paint. Our life had been made easy once again and the finished product was coordinated in a manner that I would never have been able to achieve.

I think watching so many HGTV shows the last few years has finally helped me figure out how to pull everything together. I have been able to select colors and styles that actually come out looking the way I hoped they would.

Within the past year or so my husband and I have managed to make decorative changes in the living room and completely remodel the bathroom. Both rooms came out as we hoped they would.

The funny thing is that after we have finally removed wallpaper from every room in the house except one, wallpaper is making a comeback! But these two seniors are going to keep their painted walls. If you have ever stripped wallpaper, you know it’s not easy. It’s messy and painstaking. It’s much easier to make a decorative change with a can of paint than from a wallpaper pasting board. Been there, done that.

I have to give my husband credit for being a great wallpaper hanger over the years. When I asked if he would want to start over, he looked at me and said, “Are you crazy?”

Guess the paint will remain.

    While Kazuto tries to defend himself against Kyōji, he leaves an opening for the latter to attempt to inject him with the poison used to kill Death Gun's victims. Shino then knocks Kyōji out with a stereo before checking on Kazuto's condition, and finds that there was an electrode stuck to the part of his chest where Kyōji had tried to inject him, which protected him against the syringe. Several days later, Endou calls out to Shino, from whom she tries to demand money. When Shino refuses, Endou takes out a model gun and threatens her. However, when she unsuccessfully tries to fire it, Shino takes the gun from Endou and shows her that the safety needed to be disabled to fire, then shoots a can with it before returning it back to Endou. Shino is then picked up by Kazuto, who takes her to meet with Kikuoka to report on the Death Gun incident. During the report, it is revealed that the third conspirator in the Death Gun murders, another SAO survivor named Johnny Black, escaped while Kyōji and XaXa (who was Kyōji's brother) were both institutionalized. After that, Kazuto takes Shino to the Dicey Cafe, where he introduces her to Asuna and Rika (Lisbeth). Kazuto then reveals that he had told the two girls about Shino's past and explains that he had them help him find a certain person that she should meet. The person is revealed to have been a woman, named Sachie Oosawa, who was working at the post office during the robbery. Sachie thanks Shino for saving her life and tells her that she was pregnant at the time, so Shino had also saved the life of her daughter, Mizue. Kazuto then explains that he wants Shino to think about the people that she had saved by killing the robber and thus be able to forgive herself for it. As a result, Shino bursts into tears of happiness.

    Death Gun continues his assault on Kirito, greatly weakening him. While they are fighting, Kirito has a flashback to the meeting before the Laughing Coffin raid in Sword Art Online, recalling a strikingly similar player with the same red eyes as Death Gun. Kirito deduces that Death Gun is really Red-Eyed XaXa, the second-in-command of Laughing Coffin. As XaXa moves in for the final blow, Sinon creates the illusion of a bullet path using her experience in the game alone, causing XaXa to use his invisibility cloak to avoid it. However, Kirito pulls out his sidearm and fires it at XaXa, stopping the cloaking process and rendering him vulnerable. Using the willpower and strength he possessed in SAO, Kirito defeats XaXa, cutting him cleanly in half. Before he dies, XaXa reassures Kirito that their battle is not over. Kirito and Sinon then come to an agreement to end the BoB tournament by committing double in-game suicide using a grenade, crowning them both the winner, but not before they reveal to each other their real names. While logging out, Kirito finds that another BoB participant besides Pale Rider was suddenly disconnected, confirming his suspicions that Death Gun has more than one accomplice. After logging out, Kyōji visits Shino, who, after making romantic advances on her, pulls out a syringe and reveals himself to be Death Gun's second accomplice in the real-world killings. Kyōji then tries to kill Shino, but Kazuto bursts through Shino's door and attacks Kyōji, holding him off while telling Shino, who recognizes Kazuto as Kirito, to run.

    After checking the map, Kirito finds that twenty-four players had already been killed, while only Dark Wind and himself are shown on the map. Seeing as, even accounting for Sinon, Death Gun, and Pale Rider, the numbers of those killed and those who are still alive did not match the total, he speculates that Death Gun had more than one accomplice in charge of the killings in the real world. Fearing that Dark Wind might also be a target, Kirito and Sinon decide to set up the former as bait, while Sinon snipes Dark Wind and Death Gun from a distance when they arrive. Sometime later, while Dark Wind is closing in on Kirito, Death Gun attempts to kill Kirito himself. Sensing his intent to kill, Kirito manages to sense where he would be shot from and barely manages to dodge the bullet. Noticing a sniper shot, Dark Wind immediately hides behind an obstacle for cover, but he is then shot by Sinon and killed. Sinon then turns her attention to Death Gun, but, as she had already fired her first shot, which wouldn't be detected, Death Gun is able to see her targeting him. The two of them fire at each other at the same time and, while Death Gun manages to destroy Sinon's scope, she manages to destroy Death Gun's weapon. However, as Kirito is about to strike Death Gun, the latter pulls out an estoc and counters the attack. After having a conversation with Kirito, Death Gun begins assaulting him with overwhelming speed.

    After hearing that Kirito had killed people in SAO, Sinon asks him how he was able to overcome the memories of the people he killed, but Kirito reveals that he didn't overcome them, instead accepting the weight of them, since it was all he could do to atone for his actions. Then, while thinking about how Death Gun was able to stop the heart of players by shooting them in the game, Kirito realizes that Death Gun did not shoot him with the pistol, but with the sniper instead. Based on this, Kirito deduces that Death Gun had to make preparations in real life to be able to kill the players with his pistol, and that he could've seen players putting their real-life details in the General Governor's Office since it was an open space and the terminals did not offer much privacy. Kirito then brings up the idea that Death Gun could have used his mantle to spy on other players without being noticed. After some thinking, Kirito realizes that Death Gun was actually two people: one shoots the player in-game, the other kills the player in real life by injecting them with a lethal drug. Meanwhile, Kikuoka Seijiro logs onto ALO as Chrysheight under Asuna's request and, after Yui reveals all the information on the incident that she had gathered, Chrysheight explains the situation to Asuna and the others. Asuna then requests Kazuto's whereabouts and decides to go to him in real life. Back in GGO, Kirito and Sinon decide on a course of action and are surprised to find out that they were being filmed by one of the cameras.

    Before Death Gun could shoot Sinon, he is interrupted by Kirito, who shoots him in the shoulder with a sniper rifle and then throws a smoke grenade, which forces him to retreat. Kirito then grabs the stunned Sinon and flees to a nearby buggy and horse rental point. While commandeering a buggy, he orders Sinon to shoot the only functional mechanical horse to make it unusable. However, Sinon is unable to exert force on the trigger, and Death Gun catches up and takes control of the mechanical horse. During the subsequent chase, Death Gun fires at Kirito and Sinon with his pistol, terrifying the latter. When Sinon tries to shoot at Death Gun, Kirito is forced to help her pull the trigger. Though the shot misses Death Gun, it hits the fuel tank of a truck, which explodes and forces Death Gun to abandon his horse, allowing Kirito and Sinon to escape. The two then drive into the desert, where they find a cave that they hide in to avoid the next satellite scan. Inside, both Sinon and Kirito confide to each other that they have killed someone in the past.

    Sinon shoots at Death Gun, but he dodges the bullet and then kills Pale Rider with his pistol. Death Gun then introduces himself and his gun to the spectators, finishing his monologue with a catchphrase used by PoH, the founder of Laughing Coffin. Meanwhile, Sinon attempts to find out Death Gun's name, but he was not shown on the satellite scan, thus Sinon assumes that he traveled through the battlefield underwater. She and Kirito then decide to follow Death Gun, eventually going to the Lost City. However, since they could not find him along the way, they look for him during the next scan. Seeing that two players, Sterben and Gunner X (銃士Ｘ?), were present in the city, they decide to go after Gunner X, as his name sounded like Death Gun (死銃 Shijū?) backwards. During the scan, they find Gunner X at a stadium, while Sterben abruptly vanishes from the city. The two rush to the stadium and, after confirming that there was a sniper, decide to split up. However, before Sinon could take a sniping position, she is suddenly shot with a stun bullet. Death Gun, who is actually Sterben, appears and proclaims that he is going to kill her. Sinon tries to defend herself, but then sees that Death Gun is carrying the Type 54 Black Star, the same weapon she used to kill the robber at the post office.

    While waiting for BoB to begin, Kirito assumes that Death Gun will sign into the tournament under a different name, given the perfect stage for him, and vows to find him and face him again. After much persistence, Kirito is able to convince Sinon to explain to him the details of the BoB royale. After she explains the rules and regulations, Kirito stops Sinon from leaving and asks her whether there were BoB participants that she did not know about. He then finds out that, aside from him, there are three other players who had not participated in the previous tournaments. He then explains her his motivation behind that question, and she theorizes from his explanation that he is an SAO survivor. Later on, during the tournament, Sinon decides to target Dyne and Pale Rider. Having found a sniping position on the west side of the bridge that Dyne had crossed, she prepares to take action, but is stopped by Kirito, who instructs her to not shoot and just watch Dyne and Pale Rider's battle. After Pale Rider defeats Dyne, he is suddenly shot with a silenced stun bullet and, after several moments, the shooter, Death Gun, reveals himself from the bridge. As Death Gun prepares to finish off Pale Rider, Kirito yells at the confused Sinon to shoot him before he does.

    At the Kirigaya residence, Suguha shows Kazuto a news article about the participants of the BoB tournament, among which was Kirito's name. Although Kazuto tries to hide the fact that he converted his avatar to GGO, Suguha tells him that she already found out from Asuna. After a flashback of Kazuto's talk with Asuna the previous day, Suguha tells him that she is worried due to Kazuto having a frightening expression when he returned home last night. Kazuto then calms Suguha down by promising that he would return. Meanwhile, Sinon vents her anger about Kirito to Kyōji, who then tells her that she isn't acting like her normal self and, after a short conversation, tries to hug her, but is rejected by her. At the hospital, after seeing that Kazuto was troubled by something, Aki offers a free counseling session. When Kazuto tells her about how he killed the Laughing Coffin members in SAO, she tells him that she cannot help him with that burden, but reminds him that he killed them in order to protect others. After calming down, Kazuto logs into GGO. Meanwhile, in Alfheim Online, after completing a boss fight, Asuna, Leafa (Suguha), Klein, Lisbeth, and Silica get ready to watch the broadcast of the BoB tournament. In GGO, Sinon meets Kirito at the General Governor's Office, and they tell each other that they will not lose.

    Kirito pretends to not understand Death Gun's answer, and Death Gun states that he will kill him, whether or not he is the real Kirito, before leaving. Kirito then has a flashback to his time in SAO, when he and several others battled Laughing Coffin, and notes that he killed two members during that battle. He then realizes that the player who confronted him was actually Death Gun. Sinon later meets up with him and senses that something is wrong, but before Kirito can confide in her, he is teleported to his next duel, which he wins. Eventually, both Kirito and Sinon have made it into the finals. While waiting for Kirito, Sinon begins to feel he is just like her. She becomes frustrated when Kirito calmly walks straight toward her position, seemingly unwilling to dodge her bullet. Sinon fires at him repeatedly, but misses, and she personally confronts him about it. Remembering the promise he made to Sinon, Kirito apologizes and sets the rules for a rematch: he would move away by ten meters, and they would start fighting once he throws a bullet to the ground. Despite Sinon's Hecate's one-hundred percent hit rate at such a range, Kirito shows his confidence in his abilities. When the rematch begins, Kirito is able to slice Sinon's bullet in half and hold her at the tip of his Photon Sword. Realizing that Kirito predicted the bullet path by watching her eyes, Sinon realizes that his strength goes beyond a virtual game and asks him what he is afraid of. He implies to her his experiences in SAO are not strength, but skill. He then asks her to surrender, since he doesn't want to defeat a girl. In anger, she does so, stating that next time would be different.

    Kirito and Sinon arrive at the General Governor's Office and go to the terminals to register. Kirito is surprised that the registration asks for his real-life information, and he leaves the fields blank. He is then registered into the same block as Sinon, and both are able to make it to the finals due to the ladder arrangement. Before they can enter BoB, however, there is a qualifying preliminary. Kirito promises to fight Sinon fairly if they are ever opponents. While waiting for the preliminary round to begin, Kirito reveals his gender after an embarrassing incident with Sinon in the changing room, and this creates a rift between them. Sinon demands that he make it to the finals so she can defeat him there, then proclaims her intention of "killing all the strong ones", which causes Kirito to briefly suspect her of being Death Gun. They then meet up with Kyōji in his GGO avatar, Spiegel. When Kirito is transferred to his first battle, he is initially put off-balance in the gunfight, but is able to defeat his first opponent using his Photon Sword. Upon returning to the preliminary waiting area, he is confronted by Death Gun, who Kirito feels he recognizes. Death Gun asks Kirito if he is the "real deal". He then catches a glimpse of a tattoo on Death Gun's wrist and recognizes it as the mark of the SAO Red Player guild "Laughing Coffin".

    Kirito logs into GGO, but becomes baffled as to why his avatar has long hair and feminine qualities. These attributes lead to all of the male players mistaking him for a girl. Without many leads on how to reveal himself to Death Gun, Kirito wanders around the city until he spots Sinon. He explains to her that he wants to find directions to the General Governor's Office to sign up for BoB "(Bullet of Bullets バレット・オブ・バレッツ, Baretto Obu Barettsu)", an intense PvP game mode. Mistaking him for a girl as well, Sinon directs Kirito towards a market to buy weaponry and armor. However, being out of cash, Kirito participates in an arcade game, "Untouchable", an extremely difficult QuickDraw game where the player must dodge the bullets fired from an NPC and then tag him to receive all of the credits placed in for bets. Sinon warns him the game is rigged, but after witnessing a player fail to win the game, Kirito decides to participate. Using the agility and training he acquired from his previous experiences in ALO (Alfheim Online), he is able to dodge all of the bullets and win all of the earnings, which surprises Sinon and other onlookers. Back at the weapon shop, Kirito mulls over the better weapons with the aid of Sinon, and decides to purchase an energy sword called a Photon Sword, then an FN Five-seven at Sinon's request. Back outside, Sinon realizes they only have ten minutes to get to the General Governor's Office and sign up for BoB, but Kirito spots a buggy station and commandeers one of the buggies, taking himself and Sinon to the Office down a highway. Impressed and exhilarated with his driving abilities, Sinon tells Kirito to go faster.

    While walking home, Shino Asada, Sinon's real-life counterpart, is bullied by three schoolmates, led by Endou, but they are warded away by her friend Kyōji Shinkawa, who introduced her to GGO in the first place, as a form of immersion therapy for her fear of guns. After talking about their personal lives, Shino leaves for home. There, she tries holding a gun replica, but this induces a flashback to when she was eleven years old; while she was at a postal office with her mother, a man carrying a gun tried to rob the office, shooting an employee and threatening to kill other people. When the robber aimed his gun at her mother, Shino attacked him, wrestled the gun out of his hand, and shot him repeatedly, killing him. The flashback triggers a panic attack from Shino. Meanwhile, Kirito informs Asuna that he will be converting his ALO avatar to GGO, which surprises her, but she approves. As Kazuto, he goes to the hospital to log into GGO, while his real-life body will be watched by Aki Natsuki, a nurse who oversaw his condition while he was trapped in SAO. Shino logs into GGO as well. Meanwhile, Death Gun overhears an online voice-chat discussing Death Gun before looking at a photo of Sinon, grinning.

Crypto Knocking on Doors of Big Institutions

Portfolio manager at Los Angeles-based TCW Group, Bryan Whalen, has stated that crypto investors are asking big institutions for loans against their digital assets.

The comments came at a Morningstar Investment Conference this week, according to Bloomberg. Whalen went on to indicate that:

“The market is starting to knock on the doors of big institutions, even in the bond world.”

Borrowers issue bonds to raise money from investors who are willing to lend them money for a certain amount of time. Crypto assets are now becoming a form of collateral for bond markets, it seems.

“What I’ve found has crept our way is incoming inquiries about the question of lending against crypto,” the asset manager added.

Legitimizing Crypto

TCW’s fixed-income group oversees around $225 billion, but it has yet to delve into crypto assets. One of the world’s largest asset managers, Fidelity Investments, has already dipped its toes into crypto markets and is actively pushing the launch of its own crypto exchange-traded product.

Fidelity Digital Assets group partnered with blockchain startup BlockFi last year to allow institutional clients to use Bitcoin as collateral against cash loans.

The firm viewed hedge funds and crypto investors and miners as potential customers, as they may want to turn their digital assets into cash without having to liquidate the holdings, the report added.

Robin Foley, Fidelity’s chief investment officer of bonds, stated:

“For us the role of crypto is really a cross-market, cross-company conversation. We are looking to the future as the market evolves.”

The moves further legitimized cryptocurrencies as an institutional asset class but regulators, especially in the U.S., remain extremely wary of them.

When Bitcoin ETF?

Earlier this month, Fidelity Digital Assets executives met with Securities and Exchange Commission officials to discuss the launch of crypto-based exchange-traded products.

Fidelity argued that the Bitcoin and crypto market has already reached “significant size” and has deep liquidity as defined by the SEC’s own standards.

Fidelity filed for a BTC exchange-traded product called the Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust in March 2021, yet the financial regulator continues to drag its feet and has yet to approve a single one.

Bloomberg Intelligence Commodity Strategist Mike McGlone thinks that ETF approval could come as soon as October. Speaking with Stansberry Investor this week, he added that it is likely to be a futures-based product first, adding “but it’s a start.”

The analyst also predicted that SEC approval of a BTC-based EFT could send prices of Bitcoin as high as $100,000.

Marius Billy: Creating world music

BilOne of the best things about running Mundus International, is the number of great people we meet along the way. Marius Billy, Communications Officer at the Embassy of the Republic of Congo, is one of those.

Apart from his work at the embassy, Marius Billy is also a great musician and on 15 December his debut album The Sum Of My Pardon is released. The album is drawing attention to the changes in the world, particularly those in Africa.

The inspiration for Marius Billy’s debut album begins with his childhood. Growing up amongst the sounds of the Congo River Basin, Marius’ own musicianship was fostered in guitar lessons from the missionaries of the former Swedish mission station in Ingoumina (Zanaga) where he was raised, and soon developed into creating music of his own. Not only was his father a gospel choir instructor, the influence of which can be heard throughout the album, but also he would regularly see the indigenous people perform when they came into the village. The indigenous music holds a special place for Billy who, whilst touring Scandinavia with his gospel band, found that people were intrigued by it. He spent a lot of time researching the Congolese tribes and their music and he began to feel a connection with them.

Since then, Marius has spent most of his life working towards people coming together through music, and this is the core of each song on The Sum of My Pardon.  The Sum of my Pardon was years in the making for him, as he wrote and collaborated with many different people, drawing from his vast and immense life experiences. The influences of Jazz, Blues and most importantly, traditional African music can be heard throughout the album which acts as a window into the immense journey that Billy has been on.

This magical compilation can be referred to as World Music, because it’s creation has literally spanned the globe.

Having moved away to Sweden to escape civil war in is home country, Marius Billy returned when war had abated to set up a charity. Afrique Profonde aids in the preservation of the indigenous people and land of Congo, and uses creative and musical projects to help in their fight. For Billy, music is an incredibly powerful thing that he believes can help bring exposure to his charity and help them reach their goals.

  • China in Xi’s “New Era”

China is one of the few countries in the world today that does not even pretend to choose its leading national officials through direct popular elections. Instead, leadership changes are typically made by the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which meets every five years. Hence the Journal of Democracy, which generally covers developments in democratic or electoral authoritarian countries in the aftermath of elections, has regularly published analyses of political change in China in the aftermath of Party Congresses.

The CCP’s Nineteenth Party Congress, held in October 2017, proved to be one of the most momentous in decades. It not only reaffirmed and deepened the shifts toward greater authoritarianism in internal politics and governance that General Secretary Xi Jinping had initiated since coming to power in 2012, but also unveiled a new face of Chinese foreign policy. As Xi made clear in a marathon speech lasting almost three and a half hours, China will be taking a more assertive and confident posture toward the rest of the world, one that matches the CCP’s exalted sense of China’s accomplishments at home.

The importance that Xi attributed to the new direction heralded in his speech was emphasized by his repeated use of the phrase “new era,” which he invoked 34 times, including in the title of his remarks. The phrase also appears in the label for Xi’s theoretical contribution, now enshrined in China’s constitution as “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era.” What, then, is the rest of the world to expect from China in this “new era”?

Our analysis in the pages that follow begins with an essay by Susan Shirk recapping the Nineteenth Party Congress and assessing the internal shifts that it has initiated or accelerated. The most consequential shift is captured by the title of her essay, “The Return to Personalistic Rule.” After more than three decades in which the CCP sought to institutionalize a degree of collective leadership by, among other measures, respecting term limits for its top officials, these efforts have been reversed with startling suddenness.

Numerous observers had concluded from the failure of the Party Congress to add a plausible successor to the Standing Committee of the Politburo that Xi might be toying with the idea of extending his time in office beyond his second term, due to end in 2022. But most analysts were taken by surprise when China’s legislature, the National People’s Congress, voted in early 2018 to remove from the constitution the provision that limited the country’s presidency (a post also held by Xi) to two consecutive five-year terms. With this restriction lifted, it is now widely [End Page 20] expected that Xi will seek to be president for life. Shirk also explores other changes that have brought Xi a degree of power not seen in China since the days of Mao Zedong.

There follows a set of articles that focus on China’s role in the world. As Minxin Pei points out, China’s foreign policy in the post-Mao era had been largely one of restraint, calculated to allow the country to focus on its own internal development. Pei contends that in recent years, especially since Xi came to power in 2012, Chinese foreign policy has embraced a new strategy aimed at “undermining the Western liberal order while reaching for PRC hegemony in Asia and the expansion of Chinese influence worldwide.” He traces the growth of Chinese ambitions in the areas of economic power, military power, and “soft” (or “sharp”) power.

One sign of China’s increasing boldness on the world stage is its new readiness to tout itself as a model. As Xi put it in his speech, China is “blazing a new trail for other developing countries to achieve modernization. It offers a new option for other countries and nations . . . and it offers Chinese wisdom and a Chinese approach to solving the problems facing mankind.”

The appeal of the Chinese example, of course, comes primarily from China’s economic success at home and its capacity to provide investment and assistance abroad. Pei’s essay includes an...

Is there a way to play the notes on LilyPond? I mean when using the Crescendo notation editor or MuseScore, there is a play button that can play the sound or complete piece.
score editor with playback button

2 Answers 2

LilyPond is not so much a notation editor as a notation compiler, so you're not going to get live feedback. It's sort of like setting everything up and hitting "go" each time you want to see what your changes did. There are many file formats that can be generated at compile time, and one of those is a MIDI file. There are benefits and drawbacks to this system, and one thing that's lost from going to text input is the immediacy of aural feedback. You can approximate the way you might work in a GUI-based notation editor by setting up a workflow that includes your text editor, PDF viewer, and MIDI player close at hand. As mentioned, this issue was recognized and addressed in Frescobaldi, so that all three are included in one workspace, but of course, it's up to you to decide how best you want to work with your files.

  • 1
    Looking for analogies with text editors: MuseScore and Crescendo are like WYSIWYG editors (What You See Is What You Get: Microsoft Office Word, LibreOffice Writer) vs. typesetters, where you create a file, which will later be typeset (like TeX and LaTeX, or even HTML which is based on an XML-markup and will be "typeset" (rendered) by a webbrowser).

    Sep 27, 2021 at 12:43

Whereas the layout block \layout{} is used to generate a pdf, the midi block \midi{} will generate a midi file.

Depending on what software application you are writing LilyPond script in, this midi file will either be playable through that particular software (for example Frescobaldi), or you will have to open that midi file with some other program. Midi files are great because they can be opened with a large variety of music programs (for example MuseScore).

I quite like Facebook. I used to use it for shorter versions of these blog entries. I post less nowadays as a result of musingsponderingsandrants but I still get pleasure from hearing other’s news.

It is also my main platform for sharing this Blog and so I could not really do without it. Well I could but then no one would read anything I wrote except for my handful of loyal followers (thanks to you lovely lot), and those stumbling upon me accidentally.

I have a lot of family and friends who I see too infrequently and I feel closer to them than I would if FB didn’t exist.

I have found handymen and wasp nest killers and cooker repairers from heart felt pleas on its walls.

Others I know successfully sell second hand items through it.

And actually the most lovely thing about it is the snap shot it gives one of one’s life. Nearly daily, because I was such an avid poster, I get a notification that I have ‘Memories to look back on’. In fact I am such a prolific poster that when I tried recently to order one of those ‘My Social Books’ for my time on the site I could not get it under the 500 page limit.

I always look back on those memories. I don’t usually share them because who else is interested. But I gain immense pleasure from them.

Today I was reminded that last year Middlest and Eldest were both away overnight (I have no idea where!) and husband and I took Youngest for her first Chinese restaurant meal. And had a ball.

Two years ago my friendly dashboard spider gave me a fright.

There were pictures of Eldest in Year 4 dressed as a Celtic warrior. It backed up my recent musings that he was by far the most grown up of all my children at that stage in school. Youngest has now just started Year 4 and has no where near the same knowing look in her eye.

Four years ago I had finished knitting Jesus.

And five years ago I was bemoaning how hard it was to cook a curry whilst doing reading with Eldest, avoiding Middlest’s toy cars whizzing by, dressing a dollie for Youngest and avoiding a balloon pig occasionally floating over the hob.

I can remember that moment very clearly- although I have no idea why we had a balloon pig- beacuse I had been reminded of it. I would probably never have thought about it again with out that timely reminder from good old FB.

And so I am glad I was a prolific poster. I am glad I wrestled my inner demons, who worried I was boring everyone to death, and just wrote anyway. I am glad I wrote about the every day, the mundane, the humorous, the annoying and the heartfelt.

For now I have this record of my day to day life since 2009. A most welcome, almost daily, little package of memories which make me go ‘Oh yes I remember that’. It is an on line version of a diary but with pictures.

And it makes me think that I still need to post some little snippets, despite the longer record of current life contained in these blogs. For else I will lose that lovely package of history.

FB has its detractors but for me it has definitely got this right. Thanks.

Long story but I have worked on this since 1994. I have had help the last two years along with a council that gets along with each other pretty well.

We are not so different we only have 310 in our town. We hope to start getting grant money. We would like to start a SCBA trailer or van to refill bottles at the scene. I like your music. I was raised on it.

Hey man sorry it took so long to write back. Wackenhut has nice "city" equipemnt not to good for the rough roads and places here but it works. Depending where you go you ownt see much fire anyway. Specially now days that they have been fixing the horrbile wiring problems. That was the big fire starter back in 06-07 when i was here before. basiclly these days are now INSPECTIONS INSPECTIONS and AUDITS. So lots o fpaper work and walking around checking smoke detectors and basic housekeeping and wiring issues. Its not bad at all and the money is great! Our company has a great record of keeping their guys safe here. So ur wife has nothing to worry about really. You live and work on a secure military base.

Our new "baby" should be delivered on Friday. It's a little to cold now for a wetdown so we will have to wait until the water won't freeze solid.

The Quarter auction is at home business vendors that set up and people bid on your items. The highest amount they bid is .75 for an item worth $75.00 or more. Then they pull a number out of the bucket and you bid and it is your number it is your item. Usually a crowd of 200 people and with all the people bidding it is a great money maker. If you would like more info let me know

Not even close! :)

If you want to do comparisons then try Angelic Layer. Other than that, nothing else can compare. It's in it's own little field being its own little self.

And I'm glad this is getting an Anime finally after it started with Battle Rondo MMO, figures, then into PSP with Battle Masters 1 and MK II.

Finally someone agreed with me !

sounds interesting

Sep 7, 2011 8:40 AM by Izanagi-94

If this is IS without guys, then that instantly makes it five times better than IS.

Sep 7, 2011 5:51 AM by SageShinigami

This isn't going to be an ecchi harem style anime. The closest thing out there to this would be Angelic Layer, and even still this is different. Been playing the games for quite some time and after seeing the high quality streamed first ep that just came out, it looks like they'll be quite enjoyable 5 minute episodes. My only wish is that they'd get subbed, but I'll settle without.

Sep 7, 2011 1:25 AM by Kamakirii

Well, I've played the game and was in fact quite fun to me. So this anime adaptation is pretty much a surprise, and I'll be looking forward to it.

Sep 1, 2011 9:03 PM by NozomuNet

Not the kinda thing i would watch.

Sep 1, 2011 6:45 AM by Liinah

Yeah, it's 5 minutes ... why not give it a shot? That's the attitude I took with Hetalia, and I loved it, so I'll give this a whirl too.

Aug 31, 2011 11:42 PM by Blind_Guardian

we'll its not like it will waste too much of my time if i dont like it.

Aug 21, 2011 1:51 PM by supermegasonic

5 either going to be good or a low-quality production. I'll see.

I believe that's much better already. Quite.

But if it's got some cool story to back it up, then great!

Heh, I wouldn't expect much story from <5 minute shorts.

We won't know unless we watch it. :D

Jun 23, 2011 6:08 PM by WoofSadaharu

Another mindless ecchi shit? Not my tea.

But if it's got some cool story to back it up, then great!

:D I shall see for myself.

Jun 23, 2011 5:00 PM by WoofSadaharu

Only 5 minutes per episode? I like short animes, but that's not what I had in mind. x___x

Jun 23, 2011 4:51 PM by soulless4now

staff ain't too bad either, might try

Jun 23, 2011 4:46 PM by Kazeshini
