You’re Invited To The Counseling Center’s Virtual Gala By Ellen Edwards, Board of The Counseling Center

You’re Invited To The Counseling Center’s Virtual Gala By Ellen Edwards, Board of The Counseling Center

During this difficult time, maintaining good mental health is more important—and more challenging—than ever.  For many, the stresses can be overwhelming.  That’s why The Counseling Center, located in Bronxville, is such a valuable resource.  And why we hope you will support our efforts by attending our virtual gala, which we’re calling “Covid Relief,” on October 29, 7-8 p.m.

By logging on to our virtual platform, you may join us for a short video presentation by Virgil Roberson, Executive Director, who will explain the vital work of  The Counseling Center, a non-profit organization with a staff of nine therapists which offers counseling for all ages, as individuals or couples, for a wide variety of mental health concerns.  In particular, Virgil will describe our program to support those in need who are not in a positon to pay full-fee for our services.

A lively MC will show you how to participate in a paddle raise and to buy tickets to a raffle of three baskets, which may include spa services, bottles of wine, or delicacies from a local food shop.  And, of course, there will be a button to offer a simple donation.

If you’d like to make the hour even more festive, you’ll have the chance to pre-register to purchase a pre-packaged meal from Scarborough Fair and/or a bottle of wine from another local merchant, to be delivered to your home.  There may also be an opportunity a few minutes before the official kick-off to participate in a virtual “roll call” to meet with some of the attendees in their homes via Zoom.

Since March, Covid-19 has brought many disruptions and losses to our lives, and placed limitations on our normal activities.  Though the pain has fallen harder on some than on others, no part of our community has been spared. Many are experiencing unprecedented mental stress. Those with pre-existing mental health conditions have been especially vulnerable.

The Counseling Center has sought to expand its work to meet this swelling need.  As we approach this fall and winter, with cold weather forcing us back into our homes and some people suffering from further losses, or from a delayed response to loss, we expect to see the need for mental health services become even greater.

Some of our staff continues to work remotely while others have returned to our offices at the Reformed Church.  We follow strict safety protocols in our offices and seek to provide a setting that ensures clients feel comfortable. With your financial support, we can make all the difference in helping those in the Bronxville community, and beyond, begin to heal from the myriad mental health challenges brought about by Covid-19.

For more information and the latest updates, go to  For questions about the gala, email To speak with a clinical professional, call 914-793-3388 ext. 122.  Or, to make a donation now go to our website and click on the donate button in the upper right-hand corner.

Barton Resin Bound Driveways

What Are Barton Resin Bound Driveways?

Our resin bound driveways in Barton are made by mixing a high-tech resin with gravel materials. These are evenly mixed to create a consistent compound that is then spread out along the new driveway.

Between these resin bound gravel materials, many small gaps allow water to pass through into the ground. This helps to ensure good drainage, and provides a safer driveway surface in cold or frosty Barton weather conditions. As such, resin bound driveways are always sought after by Barton clients, some of whom may have difficulties in unassisted movement.

The Benefits Of A Resin Bound Driveway in Barton

Resin bound driveway surfaces give the appearance of loose gravel, whilst staying firmly in place. The high-tech resin used in its production strongly bonds the gravel materials together, adding structural integrity on a par with block paving. Also, because the gravel materials are firmly bonded into place, your new Barton resin driveway will be extremely easy to clean and maintain, whilst also ensuring you’ll never be dragging loose debris into your Barton property.

Barton Resin Bound Driveways Are Highly Customisable

We offer a wide range of resin bound aggregate colours to choose from, and we’d be more than happy to talk you through them. So don’t hesitate to give us a call on 01325 630 034 to start planning your dream driveway in Barton.

We Also Offer Commercial Resin Bound Surfacing

If you’re looking for commercial resin bound surfacing, check out our dedicated page here.

Movie Review: Batman (1989)

(PG-13, 126 minutes, 1989)

Batman is, by far, my favorite on-screen comic book hero. Superman typically (and tragically) embodies the best in humanity, but Batman is a man with money, a sharp brain, and numerous flaws. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the character, and his 50th was celebrated on June 23rd, 1989 with a return to the silver screen in Tim Burton’s Batman.

Surprisingly, Batman was not my introduction to the character. My parents bought me the Hot Wheels version of the film’s Batmobile, but I didn’t get to experience Michael Keaton in the cowl until Batman Returns in 1992. After that, I was further introduced to the World’s Greatest Detective through re-runs of the 1966 Batman television series on the FX channel. Since they were such building blocks of my fandom, both the darker version of the knight and the Adam West version hold special places in my heart. 1989’s Batman is a fun blending of the two in an adventure that has influenced nearly every interpretation of the Dark Knight since.

The opening credits elegantly trace the Batman symbol under the moody Danny Elfman score, a move that would be repeated in another epic adventure movie called Stargate in 1994. The Danny Elfman theme is the one that echoes in my brain when I think of Batman, and pairs well with the movie’s gothic art-deco noir style. Tim Burton also pulls a clever bait-and-switch with the film’s opening by showing the audience a family leaving a theater and being held up, echoing the very incident that orphaned Bruce Wayne.

Michael Keaton’s defining turn as Bruce Wayne was controversial at the time, but I love his portrayal. His eccentric oddball millionaire contrasts against the sharp-witted reality of the his alter ego, and it sets the tone of the essential duality between Wayne and Batman. His gadgets are also fantastic, from the batarangs, grappling hooks, and utility belt to the Batmobile itself. The Keaton-era Batmobile is a gorgeous example of the ’80s mixed with the ’60s, from the fins and the exhaust flame to the recent addition of the shields.

Jack Nicholson stars in a role of duality as well, from his standard henchman of Jack Napier to his maniacal and creepy interpretation of the Joker. He takes Cesar Romero’s humorous yet short-tempered character and adds an edge of lethality, easily killing as an example of his insanity. The makeup is a nod to the 1960s, but feels a bit dated in the modern era.

In supporting roles, Robert Wuhl’s is deliciously over the top as journalist Alexander Knox, and he’s a good comic counter to Kim Basinger’s spin on photographer Vicky Vale. Vale should have been a much stronger feminist role rather than a swooning damsel in distress, but that is easily attributed to the era. Jack Palance was also over the top as Carl Grissom, but his scenery chewing became grating in his short scenes. Luckily, his character quickly departed. Additionally, I would have loved to see Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face, but alas.

The last, but perhaps the most major supporting role is that of Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth. Alfred, the Wayne Manor butler, is Bruce Wayne’s adoptive father and Batman’s conscience. In the rather controversial move of compromising Wayne’s secret identity by bringing Vale to the Batcave, Alfred is pushing Wayne and Batman onto a course that neither could do on their own in an attempt to provide a life for his son by reconciling the duality of the Dark Knight. Ironically, that duality is why the relationship with Vale couldn’t work. Gotham needs Batman, as does Wayne, and try as she might, Vale cannot identify with both the man and the bat.

In minor notes, I loved the Bob Kane nod with the bat-in-a-suit ink drawing. I also loved the parallels in the film as noted by Shua of the TechnoRetroDads Podcast when the hosts reviewed the film on its anniversary, particularly those that I need to find on another viewing. When Bruce Wayne is orphaned, he’s grapsing onto a popcorn container. Similarly, when he’s about to reveal his secret to Vale but is interrupted by the Joker, Vale seeks solace in a bowl of popcorn.

In retrospect, the campiness of this film against the darker tone helps bridge the gap between the 1960s Batman and the more modern incarnations, bringing the character full circle from its darker origins to the Nolan/Bale era of films. The movie is dated, but it’s still fun.

My Rating: 8/10
IMDb rating: 7.6/10

Uniswap payday, ETH transactions hit record high & EU backs stablecoins

Coming every Sunday, Hodler’s Digest tracks every important crypto news story from the previous week. Essential reading for all Hodlers!

Top Stories This Week

Frenzy as Uniswap launches new governance token

Uniswap stole the show this week when it announced it was launching UNI, its very own governance token. A total of 1 billion tokens will exist, and anyone who has ever used the platform can claim 400 of them.

Thousands came forward to accept their reward, and at one point, the airdrop was worth a cool $3,356. Not bad considering each token was initially priced at $3.

Within a single day, UNI was listed on more than a dozen exchanges and had driven $1.8 billion in trading volume. Binance added to the excitement by announcing support for the token just 90 minutes after it went live.

Many analysts were unsurprised when UNI rallied to highs of $8.60, and although the token has since had a correction, some traders believe the token could be worth many billions in the long term.

One of them, Crypto Medici, wrote on Twitter: “UNI going to be worth $3-5 billion (conservative) Still extremely undervalued. Token distribution was genius and many that sold will FOMO back in when we break $1 billion. This is before V3 comes out, and liquidity mining ramps up.”

Daily Ethereum transactions hit a new historical high amid DeFi boom

The Uniswap frenzy helped daily transactions on the Ethereum blockchain reach a new all-time high of 1.4 million — exceeding the previous record of 1.35 million transactions in January 2018.

After the UNI token launched, transaction fees spiked to almost $1 million an hour. All of this means that the significant levels of congestion on the Ethereum network show no signs of abating, prompting renewed concerns about scalability.

Now, Coinbase Pro has had enough. The exchange has announced that it will no longer cover network fees on behalf of users. In a series of tweets, it explained:

“Historically, Coinbase Pro has absorbed these fees on behalf of our customers. However, as crypto has begun to gain broader adoption in applications like DeFi, payments and other projects, networks have gotten busier.”

In other Ethereum news this week, new research published by Cointelegraph Consulting has revealed that the total market cap of ERC-20 tokens has overtaken Ethereum’s.

A boring week for Bitcoin — But will momentum tip back in favor of bulls?

As Cointelegraph analyst Michaël van de Poppe notes, it’s been a relatively dull week when it comes to Bitcoin’s price.

The world’s biggest cryptocurrency has seen a slow upward trend after finding a footing above $10,000. Although the rally continued to $11,000 on Sept. 18, it was pushed back by some short-term resistance levels.

Van de Poppe says BTC is now facing a crucial resistance between $11,200 and $11,400, and if this area can be broken, a retest of higher levels will be back on the table. He doesn’t expect there to be a clear breakout out of this zone in one go and says sustaining support at $10,750 is crucial.

“Establishing new yearly price highs highly dependent on breaking the multi-year resistance level at $12K to continue the general uptrend for the rest of the year,” he wrote.

Also this week, the Bank of England became the latest central bank to discuss negative interest rates — effectively meaning that savers must pay to store cash. In response, Tyler Winklevoss said: “You couldn’t buy a better advertisement for Bitcoin.”

EU to see comprehensive crypto regulation by 2024

The European Union has officially got on-board with blockchain, announcing that it wants to make cross-border payments quicker and cheaper through the use of crypto assets like stablecoins by 2024.

The trading bloc is going to introduce fresh regulations that will promote this technology for international money transfers.

According to the European Commission, 80% of consumers in the EU use paper money at present, but it wants to see digital payments become more common, with immediate transaction times.

Documents seen by Reuters said: “By 2024, the EU should put in place a comprehensive framework enabling the uptake of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and crypto-assets in the financial sector. It should also address the risks associated with these technologies.”

Apple forces Coinbase to change its crypto products, CEO claims

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has accused Apple of stifling innovation in crypto and sidelining DeFi to protect itself from competition.

The head of the exchange even claimed that other crypto firms are “reluctant to speak out on these topics for fear of retaliation.”

Claiming that attempts to talk to Apple directly have reached a dead end, Armstrong said that Coinbase is being stopped from adding features to its iOS apps that would allow users to earn money using crypto and access DeFi apps.

He wrote: “Why would Apple want to prevent people from earning money during a recession? They seem to not be ok with it, if it uses cryptocurrency. I’m not sure why.”

Winners and Losers

At the end of the week, Bitcoin is at $10,838.10, Ether at $368.44 and XRP at $0.24. The total market cap is at $344,943,312,540.

Among the biggest 100 cryptocurrencies, the top three altcoin gainers of the week are Hyperion, ABBC Coin and Celsius. The top three altcoin losers of the week are DFI.Money, SushiSwap and Flexacoin.

Most Memorable Quotations

“Following UniswapProtocol’s announcement of the $UNI token today, #Ethereum saw a massive surge in miner fees. Almost $1M USD in fees were spent in a single hour!”

“Starting today, Coinbase Pro will pass along network fees directly to our customers… Historically, Coinbase Pro has absorbed these fees on behalf of our customers. However, as crypto has begun to gain broader adoption in applications like DeFi, payments and other projects, networks have gotten busier.”

Coinbase Pro

“Prediction: $UNI will soon be the #3 crypto asset.”

Cole Kennelly, DeFi NYC founder

“I don’t necessarily think that 2020 is going to be the year of some type of major retail bull run, largely due to the fact that the global economy still lingers over this industry, just like other financial markets.”

Joel Birch, Stacked co-founder

“Thanks Bank of England, you will help drive $BTC adoption.”

Tone Vays, veteran trader

“2020 has witnessed a surge in the number of ATMs supporting digital coins.”

“As $BTC has crossed above $11,000 for the first time since September 3rd, the sentiment of #Bitcoin on #Twitter is surprisingly at an all-time low.”

“What happens when vaccine is proven? Gold silver Bitcoin will CRASH. Buying opportunity.”

Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad Poor Dad author

“Since DeFi protocols are designed to be permissionless, anyone in any country is able to access them without any regulatory compliance. As a result, DeFi can easily become a haven for money launderers.”

“We added our 40th state today just a week shy of our one-year anniversary. 100% coverage is our goal.”

Binance US

Prediction of the Week

Bitcoin Birch says no retail crypto-wide bull run likely for the rest of 2020

In the aftermath of May’s halving, there was optimism that Bitcoin could be about to embark on a bull run — not to mention endless predictions that the cryptocurrency would return to all-time highs. But Joel Birch, the co-founder of the automated investing platform Stacked, now believes this isn’t likely.

Speaking to Cointelegraph, he said: “I don’t necessarily think that 2020 is going to be the year of some type of major retail bull run, largely due to the fact that the global economy still lingers over this industry, just like other financial markets.”

Despite that, he does believe that Bitcoin has an opportunity to continue heading upward between now and December.

Others remain as bullish as ever. PlanB, the creator of one of the best-known Bitcoin price models, has said it’s high time for BTC to begin its next significant price rise to $100,000, writing: “Time to go up.”

FUD of the Week

Police summon Bithumb chairman for questioning over alleged fraud

The drama over alleged fraud involving Bithumb’s senior executives continued this week, with the company’s chairman summoned for interrogation.

Police reportedly want to question Lee Jung-hoon, who is accused of multiple fraud and embezzlement offenses regarding the failed listing of the BXA token.

It is believed that investors lost up to $25 million as a result, with Lee allegedly embezzling these funds in overseas property purchases and offshore investments.

Fresh reports of Indian crypto ban are ‘clickbait,’ says local source

Headline-grabbing pieces have warned that India’s parliament is preparing once again to try and ban crypto trading for good, but according to local experts, there might not be anything to worry about.

Siddharth Sogani, the founder of the Indian blockchain research company Crebaco, has described the reports as nothing short of “clickbait” — and he questioned the sources that Bloomberg had spoken to for a recent article.

Ashish Singhal, the CEO of the crypto exchange CoinSwitch, also told Cointelegraph that it is far too early for any draft bill to be presented to the country’s parliament.

He also pointed to the list of bills that is subject to discussion during the parliament’s Monsoon Session — and said a debate on banning crypto trading isn’t scheduled.

COVID-19 vaccine will spark Bitcoin crash, ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author warns

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has claimed that Bitcoin will crash when the world finds an effective coronavirus vaccine.

On Twitter, he wrote: “What happens when vaccine is proven? Gold silver Bitcoin will CRASH. Buying opportunity.”

Nonetheless, Kiyosaki believes that gold, silver and Bitcoin remain the best investments in the long term, and he argued the biggest threat facing the American economy isn’t the pandemic, but rather the massive levels of debt that have left the U.S. “bankrupt.”

Momentum, Absa Agree Deal to Fund Share Program for Black Staff

Sign up to our Next Africa newsletter andfollow Bloomberg Africa on Twitter

South African insurerMomentum Metropolitan Holdings Ltd. and Absa Group Ltd. agreed to fund a stock-ownership program in which 3% of the insurer’s shares will be offered to Black employees.

Momentum staff will acquire 44.9 million ordinary shares as the company seeks to align its ownership with the demographics of its client base, the company said Friday. The empowerment transaction is one of the methods South African firms use to shake up shareholdings after the country’s apartheid system channeled most wealth to White people to the disadvantage of Blacks.

The deal will be funded by issuing preference shares through a special-purpose vehicle to Momentum and Absa, for as much as 700 million rand ($42 million) and 350 million rand respectively, Momentum said. About 26.9 million shares are in Momentum’s treasury and about 18 million will be bought in the open market, it said. The shares will be held by the iSabelo Trust, which is being set up to manage the transactions.

As much as 20% of the trust’s distributable income, excluding special distributions, is payable to staff until the special-purpose vehicle is no longer a beneficiary. Shareholders will vote on the plan on Nov. 26.

Units in the program will be allocated as follows:

  • 85% of program’s proceeds will accrue to Black employees and at least 55% to Black women employees
  • The eligibility of staff to participate will be determined by instructions set by Momentum
  • Shares will be subject to a maximum vesting period of seven years and will become redeemable upon expiry of a period of 10 years after first being allocated
  • The plan is for the program to run for a maximum of 15 years.

CSLEA Members at NSH Assist with Law Enforcement Duties in LNU Lightning Complex Fire

NAPA COUNTY -  For nearly two weeks in the latter half of August 2020, nine California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) members who are investigators and police officers at Napa State Hospital had a serious change in duties as they were called upon to assist the Napa County Sheriff’s Office during the LNU Lightning Complex Fire.

“Helping Napa County residents during this devastating time of fast-moving flames and evacuations and ensuring their property was safe from looters was a rewarding and humbling experience,” said Jesus Gallegos, CSLEA member and investigator at Department of State Hospitals-Napa Office of Special Investigations.  “People were losing their homes.  Wineries, grapes on the vine, and wine were being destroyed.”

The investigators and officers worked 11 days with very little time off, often putting in 12-plus hours a day.  Their work began August 19th assisting the Napa County Sheriff’s Office with evacuation warnings and mandatory evacuation orders of residents from Calistoga to Deer Park Road from the East side of Silverado Trail.

“We instructed residents to take whatever items they could carry with them, along with their pets, and leave immediately,” said Gallegos.  “We placed ‘Evacuated’ notices on mailboxes on those homes in which residents vacated.  We also documented the residents who refused to leave their homes and the number of people staying.  We then advised Napa dispatch so they would have a record of that.”

On the days that followed, the investigators and officers were assigned to a looter suppression team, patrolling evacuated neighborhoods for the possibility of evil individuals looking to steal from homes and businesses that were evacuated.

The team encountered residents who declined to leave their homes, responded to burglary alarms, reported new fires they spotted to CALFIRE, and even attempted to suppress flames overtaking a wooden bridge.  In one instance they witnessed a possible looting suspect who ignored roadblocks, led officers on a pursuit and was ultimately arrested, an Oakland resident suspected of attempted looting.

“We also were involved with escorting residents to their homes in evacuated areas in Angwin.  We helped residents feed their chicken and pets, water their plants and vegetable gardens.  It felt good to help in any way we could when these folks were going through so much.”

The CSLEA members who assisted Napa County included:

  • Investigator Jesus Gallegos
  • Investigator Jeremy Harris
  • Officer Stuart Donaldson
  • Officer Nate Thompson
  • Officer Curtis Brandt
  • Billy Bowers
  • Francisco Garcia
  • Alejandro Herrera
  • Brandon Williams

“A very sincere thank you to our members who assisted Napa County during this time of emergency and devastation,” said CSLEA President Alan Barcelona.  “They spent many days and long hours working to protect and serve, and being away from their families and all that’s required of them at home.  Your dedication to public safety and your community shows!”

June 29th, Brooklyn

Venue: Coney Island Boardwalk, Ford Amphitheater

Job: FOH

There was a stage dog! We got to Coney Island sometime in the morning and when we went to help load in there was a dog on stage. His name was Jack and this quickly became everyone’s favorite venue because of the dog. I hung around the venue most of the day since we only had one more day after this. Nohea, Michelle, and I watched soundcheck and then went to class.

Class today was with Manny. He officially started piano lessons at fourteen, but was playing long before that. His mom and grandad both played piano. His mom was also smart enough to make him finish school in three years. He went to college after that and continued taking lessons. Since then he started a tribute band and developed a songwriting style based on what his mom taught him. He also met Godfrey and toured with him and the Alan Parsons Project. Overall, talking to each band member was very informative. They are a major part of the show and one of the main reasons this tour can continue year after year. After getting to know the band it was nice to sit at front of house and watch them. It's also fun sitting with JC and just watching him do what he does. I've slowly learned by watching him. He can't really have a system because each venues sound is going to be different, but each song has a certain mix behind it.

Final thoughts: I’ll never forget that Blackstar Amp.

SET 1: Split Open and Melt, Donna Lee, You Enjoy Myself > Divided Sky, The Lizards, David Bowie, Bike, The Sloth, Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove, I Didn't Know [1]

ENCORE: Immigrant Song [2] > Fluffhead

Notes: This show was part of the Montréal International Jazz Festival. Before SOAM, Trey introduced the band as “Phish, from Burlington, Ontario.” For Donna Lee, Trey noted that the band had to play at least one straight-ahead jazz tune at the Jazz Festival. Between Divided Sky and Lizards, Trey again referenced “Burlington, Ontario,” noting that it is out near Gamehendge, and asked if there were any “Gamehendgians” out in the audience. Fish wasn’t able to get any suction out of the vacuum during Bike; he subsequently used the trombone during I Didn’t Know. The first known Phish performance of Immigrant Song was sung a cappella.

Green Oil founder explains thinking behind Daesh mocking marketing backfire

Simon Nash, the founder of eco-friendly bicycle lubricant firm Green Oil has issued an apology video following what was widely seen as a marketing backfire.

Posted on July 17th, Nash originally appeared in a flick dressed in attire reminiscent of Daesh (otherwise known as ISIS) and wielding a machete, later used to remove the head from a bottle of his lubricant.

Linking use of petroleum based oils with funding channeled to the terrorist organisation, Nash’s video intends to slam into competitor’s products that use PTFE’s. The delivery of that message has however been widely criticised.

“I got it wrong,” said Nash posting an apology video on the 19th.

“Originally it was intended to poke fun at the bad guys and raise some important issues and instead i think it looked a little too realistic and a bit too close to home. I can see why a lot of people were offended.

“Running Green Oil is difficult, it’s like David vs Goliath, we’ve got some huge petrochemical competitors with huge marketing budgets and we can’t match that, so that’s why this kind of video can be effective and I appreciate this one wasn’t. I hope to have your forgiveness.

“I hope you can all remember we are all on the same side. We all want a world that’s free of petrochemicals and PTFE pollution. We all want companies to stop making these products and the chemicals that cause a lot of human misery and the petrochemical use that causes things like Daesh to stop. I hope you’re with me on that.”

Gun Laws & Legislation

“Jonesing” For A Showdown: BATFE Director’s Comments Show Fight Isn’t Over

NRA ILA Contributor
Font Size:

Only two days after the Obama administration to tabled its ban on M855-type ammunition, BATFE gave gun owners notice that the battle over popular AR-15 ammunition isn’t over.  On Thursday, BATFE Director B. Todd Jones testified before a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, during which he alluded to BATFE’s continuing interest in reevaluating the legal status of a broad range of common ammunition.

In a leading question, the reliably anti-gun Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) asked the BATFE director, why the agency reviewed the status of M855 and other steel-component bullets. Jones’s response included this ominous assertion: “But as we see more and more of the firearms that could be classified as pistols, being able to use not just this M855 round, but any 5.56 round, it’s a challenge for officer safety, public safety” (emphasis added).

Jones’s remarks suggest that it isn’t just M855-type ammunition that is on BATFE’s regulatory radar, but all 5.56-caliber ammunition. These comments could also signal that the administration would like to use innovation in the firearms industry as justification for an ever-widening ammunition ban.

Jones’ contention that .223 or 5.56-caliber ammunition fired from pistols poses a “challenge for officer safety” is not borne out by the facts. For 38 years, the FBI has compiled nationwide data on the characteristics of firearms used in fatal attacks on law enforcement officers acting in the line of duty. These data fail to document even a single instance in which a perpetrator killed an officer using a .223-caliber handgun. Contrary to the false statements of various gun proponents, moreover, .223 caliber handguns – including semiautomatics and derringers – have been commercially available since at least the early 1980s. As the Executive Director of the National Legislative Office of the Fraternal Order of Police recently stated, “Any ammunition is of concern to police in the wrong hands, but this specific round [i.e., M855] has historically not posed a law enforcement problem.”

With favorable numbers of pro-gun senators and representatives in Congress, gun controllers have been reduced to using regulatory agencies to bypass lawmakers with contorted interpretations of existing statutes in order to pursue their federal agenda. In the remaining years of the Obama administration it is important that gun owners remain alert and mobilized to meet all attacks of this type. As the BATFE made clear with its initial framework for reclassifying M855-type ammunition, and again on Thursday, the Obama administration has every intention of pushing federal law to – and past – its limits in order to curb gun rights.

President Donald Trump Reacts To The Release Of The Ukraine Call Transcript

Amber Athey Podcast Columnist
Font Size:

President Donald Trump reacted to the release of the White House transcript of his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, referring to it as a “nothing call.”

The transcript revealed that Trump did ask Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s pressure on Ukraine to fire a top prosecutor who was looking into his son’s business ties, but it does not appear to establish a quid pro quo arrangement. (RELATED: Here’s The Transcript Of Trump’s Call With The Ukrainian President)

“There was no pressure whatsoever, and if you take a look at the Democrats, they went down to see the president of Ukraine and they asked him for all sorts of things,” Trump said at the United Nations General Assembly. “[Zelensky] himself just came out with a statement saying there was absolutely no pressure put on him.”

“Just so you understand, it’s the single greatest witch hunt in American history … it’s a disgraceful thing. The letter was a great letter, meaning the letter revealing the call,” Trump continued. “The way you had that built up, that call, it was going to be the call from hell. It turned out to be a nothing call, other than a lot of people said, ‘I never knew you could be so nice.'”

The president blamed the “corrupt” media for hyping the call and went on to list the accomplishments of his administration, claiming that those accomplishments should negate the Democrats’ desire for impeachment.

Which Trading Platforms Are The Most Reliable?
Which Trading Platforms Are The Most Reliable?

Which Trading Platforms Are The Most Reliable?

Trading on the foreign exchange market (Forex, FX) has become quite popular during the last decade and a half. This is largely attributed to the developments in the information technology sphere which made it quite easy to turn on your favorite device, register on the platform with a broker, and trade away to your heart’s content. However, there are a number of these platforms and some of them are better than others in certain aspects.

Trading on currencies is one of the oldest versions of trading that economies remember. It goes as far back as other things like stocks for example. The idea is that it was not accessible to most of the people across the world.

Can A Beginner Make Money With Forex Trading?
Can A Beginner Make Money With Forex Trading?

The currency exchange was going on behind the scenes involving a number of huge financial institutions like banks, hedge funds, and such. It was next to impossible to trade if you were an average Joe or Janette living your life with everyday jobs. However, things did change a lot.

Due to the development of the worldwide web, computers becoming more accessible and affordable as well as the invention of other devices like smartphones and tablets, things did change for the better. Namely, in 2005 when the first MetaTrader 4 platform was developed things started to look much like they are now.

After 2005 a lot has changed though. It has been 15 years since the original release and since then we have also come a long way. Now traders have a number of platforms available for them to start trading on in a short period of time from the comforts of their home.

However, due to the sheer amount of available options things are becoming more and more confusing day by day. For a starter trader, things are complicated. There are a number of things to pay attention to. He or she needs to understand all of the basics before they apply their knowledge.

  • How does the market work?
  • What impacts the currency pairs?
  • Which broker to choose?
  • Which platform to use?
  • How much capital do they need to start?

And in addition to all of these questions, there are things to consider like what is leverage? What is spread? Answers to all of these questions are basically a necessity for every potential trader who wants to start making a revenue.

There is a small difference between trading software and trading platforms. There are quite a number of available trading software compared to their platform counterparts. It is worth noting that the ultimate decision is also linked with the individual broker since they provide services and trading software for respective platforms.

MetaTrader 4

MetaTrader 4
MetaTrader 4 Trading platform

As we have already established forex traders have a choice between a number of platforms to use. MetaTrader 4 or MT4, is one of the oldest and trustworthy ones out of the bunch. The main draw for this one is its legacy content and the level of maturity.

MT4 was first released in 2005 and became the frontrunner of the whole digital FX industry. It was developed by MetaQuotes Software and offers a way for both investors and traders to open, close, and manage their positions in the simplest way out of the bunch.

MT4 can be used to perform some of the advanced trading operations while analyzing the financial markets at the same time. It sets itself apart from others with three trade execution modes, four pending and two stop orders, two different markets, and even a trailing stop function. The commands can be given out directly by clicking on the charts that are vital for any trader.

Why Prefer MetaTrader 4 Platform for Forex Trading
Why Prefer MetaTrader 4 Platform for Forex Trading

The platform has three main execution modes. These are instant execution, execution on request, and execution by market. The first one processes the trade at exactly the price which is offered to the broker.

Execution on request works so that market order is executed when the market price hits the spot which is provided by the broker. Execution by market means that the trader gives all of the rights to open and close positions to the broker without additionally asking authorization from the trader.

MetaTrader 4 is the most widely used platform out of all and thus most of the brokers offer services through there.

MetaTrader 5

MetaTrader 5
MetaTrader 5 Trading platform

MetaTrader 5, or MT5 in short, is a successor to the MT4 platform. It was launched by MetaQuotes in 2010 and adds some vital functionalities to the table. While not as popular as MT4 it still draws a number of new traders and brokers to itself due to the modern approach that this platform is offering.

The reason why it stands out so much is that MT5 is a real multi-asset platform. While MT4 only deals in over-the-counter (OTC) products MT5 also has other assets available like stocks, equities, commodities, etc.

The MT5 also offers these assets over the exchange itself which means that there is no need for a broker to act like a market maker or intermediary. This rules out the conflict of interest that may be created during trade and leads to a much more fair execution.

HIstoric data is something MT5 has an advantage over its MT4 counterpart. In the latter to get accurate tick data, the trader has to import this information through external sources and mainly rely on charts to understand what is going on.

MT5, however, easily integrates this functionality into its platform. It is quite simple to just download accurate tick data from the broker’s server without any need for some outside source. Charts are also updated more frequently and provide information in a much better way than otherwise.

In addition to all of these MT5 is a straightforward update from MT4 with already existent functionalities. For example, in MT4 one can only have 9 different charts due to the storage limitations while MT5 has a whopping 21. The amount of bars that can be stored has also increased in a great manner and thus provides a much better way to understand and predict possible market movement.

cTrader Trading Platform
cTrader Trading Platform

cTrader is also one of the most popular trading platforms that boast top of the line functionality with the addition of cleaner and more modern design. The main idea is that this is a full package that is required to trade. It works great out of the box and has a number of helpful guides, indicators, and tools that work from the get-go.

One of the biggest draws for this platform is the ability of a trader to code in C# and open API which makes it possible to create specific scripts to automate your trading process.

The idea is that cTrader Automate (or as it was previously called – cAIgo) can be used in the hands of a knowledgeable trader as a powerful tool that can make the whole trading process that much less of a hassle. It has direct access to the interbank market and provides a number of presets as well as detachable charts that make the whole interface much more customizable.

Bottom Line

There are a number of other platforms that we have not touched upon like NinjaTrader and others. However, we believe that MT4, MT5, and cTrader are the largest additions to the field of FX trading and provide more than enough to satisfy the needs of traders.

It is up to the individual to choose which one they prefer, however, most of the brokers still focus on MT4 and its successor – MT5. cTrader is available for more tech-savvy traders who can and like to code and automate their whole working process. All of them are very unique in their way and have their advantages. One can not go wrong with any of them.

Advent: Hope

by Mary Stout
The beginning of the Advent is upon us. We lit the first Purple Candle of Hope at church yesterday as we turn our attention to the upcoming birth of the baby Jesus: The first candle is sometimes called the Prophet’s candle representing the Old Testament prophets such as Isaiah. These prophets waited in hope for the coming of the promised Messiah.
 Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will be called Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
My friend once told me that hope is at the heart of giving light in the darkness. So the first candle of Hope is lit and we contemplate the upcoming birth of the Christ child. As we allow the light to eliminate the darkness in our hearts and minds, and like the prophets of old, we can have hope.
Won’t you let in the Light of the World? He wants to give you hope.
Prayer: Father, as we celebrate the season of Advent, let us be mindful of the hope you have given us every day. Thank you for Your love and for sending us your son. Help us remember to spread hope to the lost and broken people around us.In Jesus’ name,  Amen

Why getting a co-working membership is a great business decision

Many small business owners, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and contractors work from home. The low overhead and digital connectivity of working from home is hard to pass up! Whether you’re a one person business, or a virtual office, it can make a lot of sense to not have an office nailed down. However, co-working spaces have been shaking that mindset up.

A co-working space is an office of individuals, or sometimes groups, who rent a workspace in a co-working office. These offices are great, because they provide all the resources you need to work and run your business without taking on the cost and responsibility of having your own office. From a $25 drop in fee, to $200-$500 a month for a membership. There’s a pricing rate and set-up for a variety of business needs, and in a city like Toronto, you can absolutely find something that works for you.

Aside from the cost element, co-working spaces are an incredible concept because they are a hub of working professionals, often likeminded people, getting work done. Who doesn’t want to work in a place with that sort of energy?

I’ve recently got a membership at The East Room in Toronto and I’ve absolutely been loving it. It’s inspired me in so many ways, and I wanted to list 6 reasons why I think a co-working space is a smart business decision for anyone.

1. Increased productivity

Yes, waking up and not having to leave the house is luxurious and relaxing. But, there’s something to be said about getting out of the house early, grabbing a coffee, and sitting down to work with no distractions. You can absolutely get a lot done at home (some people, more than others) but there’s something to be said about sitting down at a desk that just screams: “GET TO WORK”.

2. Productive atmosphere

One of the best things about co-working spaces is the people. Working in an environment of other likeminded people is not only motivating, but it’s infectious. You can hear the conversations, the typing, and the work being done, causing you to feel energized being in the space.

If you’re someone who works solo, a co-working space is great for feeding off of the productivity of others so you can hash out a project, article, or whatever you’re working on. For small teams, a co-working space creates a sense of professional productivity that can really give your team the boost they need to excel together.

3. A sense of purpose

Co-working spaces bring together all kinds of professionals – from artists and writers, to start-ups and small business owners like lawyers or consultants. You get to be someone amongst a diverse group of professionals and feel proud of your unique value proposition. You get to talk about what you do to those around you, fill people in on the projects your working on, and chat over the water cooler about what you’ve got on the go. This act alone really builds a sense of self and pride.

4. Work on your own terms

Depending on the co-working space, you can choose to come and go as you please. Some are even 24 hours for those who really need to hash out a project. Many have a variety of work spaces to choose from, and you can work at a bar top, on a couch, in a quiet room, or in a huge open-concept room at a desk if you prefer some buzz.

If you feel like hanging out and working from home on a rainy day, you can do that too. Co-working spaces give you options for how you want to work.

5. Networking

The environment of co-working spaces is often pretty collaborative, and you get to meet a ton of new people when you work with them every day. It’s a great way to meet people you can work with as you get to know them and have complimentary skills. If you’re a marketer, perhaps you bump into a web designer who can help you with your site, or a lawyer who can read your contract over for you. You can find people who are open to working on projects together, or helping one of your clients, or even trading their services for yours.

Also, it’s a great way to build overall relationships with people and create lasting business connections.

6. Community

It feels great to be a part of something, and co-working spaces often host events for members to create a community feel. Once a month, there may be a speaker, concert, or cocktail events. It really depends on the space! Co-working spaces like to bring members together to mix and mingle and ensure the environment remains one of collaboration and growth for their members. It’s so fun to be a part of.

Is it for you?

Obviously, I believe co-working spaces can have a huge business benefit to small business owners, entrepreneurs, and the like. It’s an amazing way to get access to smart, professional people and boost your productivity while getting out of the house and ensuring you don’t go stir-crazy. Of course, it’s not the right fit for everyone and it really depends on your working style and where you’re at in your venture.

Write a list of all your needs to get an idea for what ones you think could benefit from a co-working space. Then, do your research! Find a space that has everything you need within the price point you can budget for. Talk to people who work there and get feedback before committing. BlogTO has a great round-up of some pretty cool co-working spaces and again, I highly recommend checking out The East Room.

Name Spacing in ACF

Let’s say I’m building a theme for my client “Joey’s Frog Arena.” When I start development, I would namespace all of the theme functions with jfa_, or something similar, and be on my merry way. This is completely normal. Everybody namespaces themes as to avoid conflicts and create a sense of coherence throughout the code.

Something that didn’t occur to me until this specific project was the idea of using a namespace for fields within ACF. So let’s say Joey has 3 different wrestling shows, all of them with 6 participants in each show, totaling 18 different participants. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll call them actors (everyone knows wrestling is fake anyway). So each show is listed as a custom post type, morning, afternoon, & evening shows, and the actors in each show change from week to week. Joey wants his customers to be able to visit the website and see a list of upcoming shows and who is participating in each one.

So I would need to attach a field to each show type that allows Joey to list out the actors for each show. Normally I would call this actors and move on. In the code, I would call this in the template with the_field('actors'); and everything would be handy dandy. Joey would be happy, I would be happy, all is good with the world.

Three months later though, Joey comes back to me and says he wants to add a widget to the homepage that spits out all the actors who are performing that day. So I would make a widget that uses some custom queries to pull of that information in and put it on the page.

$args = array(
'post_type' => 'morning_show'
$actors = new WP_Query($args);
if ( $actors->have_posts() ) : while ( $actors->have_posts() ) : $actors->the_post() :
endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();

Pretty standard stuff right? Just do that 3 times for each post type with some extra stuff added as needed. I finish the feature, Joey pays his bill and I go back to working on other projects. Now let’s jump 1 year into the future.

Joey is back, and he wants some modifications done to the widget I made for him last time. Well, it’s been a year. I don’t remember any of this stuff. Now I have to sift through this code and find where these specific parts are coming from and alter the output of the functions.

Name spacing is a normal part of modern software development. It helps us to stay organized and provides a easy to recognize reference if we have to come back to something later and our documentation just isn’t cutting it. Recently I’ve found myself name spacing all my fields with the name of the field group. This obviously means that choosing the right field group name can be very important! For Joey, I would have had 3 field groups, Morning Show, Afternoon Show, and Evening Show, since those were the 3 post types I was adding fields to. So for the actors field, I would set the label as “Actors” as normal, but the field name would be “morning_show_actors” instead of just actors. Let’s say I had another field called “Location.” That field name would be “morning_show_location.” I hope you can see where this is going.

If I was utilizing a large template to display data from custom queries, I don’t want to have to scroll up and down my document to see what post type I was referencing for a specific field. By including the field group as a namespace, I know exactly what information I’m working with no matter where in the theme I’m using it. This also means I can use a “Find All” in my IDE and search for “morning_show_actors” and only get the one result I want, rather than 3 results for the search term “actors.”

Hopefully you can see the benefit to name spacing and will start to utilize it on your projects. Sure, it’s a pain in the ass to manually alter each field name instead of using the generated name from ACF, but a year or two down the line, you’ll be happy you did when you can’t remember the specifics from a given project.

P.S. After reading this blog post, I’m very disappointed in myself, but I’m putting it out there anyway, despite it’s sloppiness. Oh well. 😉

A bed of fallen maple leaves.

Queen of Green readers love to help pollinators — whether it’s planting a butterfly garden or getting a yard off grass.

Well, there’s another thing pollinator-lovers can do to help and it’s really simple…

DO NOT rake your leaves!

Butterflies begin in leaves, as larvae.

Those brown, dead leaves are the planet’s butterfly nursery. They’re home to butterfly larvae, microbes and worms. And leaf litter is where many species of butterflies and moths overwinter as pupae. Animals like toads, shrews and salamanders benefit from leaf litter to hide and hunt, too.

This fall, let your rake collect only dust.

Can’t leave all of your leaves where they fall? Here are a few other ideas:

Mulch leaves in your planter beds

Does your homeowner’s association have something against leaves? Rake leaves off the lawn and into your planter beds.

Mulch leaves on your lawn

Use your mower to mulch leaves on the lawn and improve your lawn health by suppressing weeds and fertilizing the soil.

Collect browns to compost

Backyard Composting Dos and Don’ts tells us to balance “greens” with “browns.” Store leaves in a bin and add them to your backyard composter throughout the winter months.

Craft with leaves

Have children collect their favourite leaves in your yard and throughout the neighbourhood and try your hand at nature weaving.

DO rake leaves out of sewers and drainage pathways.

Long Sands beach: North East sea views and award winning sea food in Tynemouth | Beach Holidays | Travel

Written by Administrator

The North East may not be famed for its year-round sunshine, but it is home to a number of gorgeous sandy stretches ideal for those days when the sun does make an appearance. Situated in Tynemouth, a historic county borough in Tyne and Wear at the mouth of the River Tyne is Long Sands Beach.

What is there to do on Long Sands?

Whether you’re building sandcastles and splashing in the sea during the summer months, or bracing yourself for a windy, yet picturesque walk in the summer months, Long Sands is a beach that offers plenty to see and do.

The flat terrain of the beach makes it perfect for walks with the family and is even dog-friendly so an ideal spot for four-legged friends.

Water babies can head into the waters for a swim, and thrill-seekers can hop on their surfboard and attempt to ride the waves.

In fact, the North Sea conditions present such a good opportunity for surfers that the National Surfing Championships have been held at the beach in the past.

The sand dunes also offer a great spot for a more taxing walk, or a nice area to lay down a blanket and set up a picnic.

Meanwhile, stunning coastal views promise photo opportunities at every turn.

Along with the beach itself, Long Sands is also surrounded by activities ideal for all ages.

Adjacent to the beach is family fun ark Tynemouth park which is home to a boating lake, crazy golf and themed children’s play areas.

There is also a nearby aquarium and golf course.

What restaurants, pubs and cafes are near Long Sands beach?

One of the great draws of Long Sands beach is its proximity to a diverse array of restaurants dotted along the beachfront and in Tynemouth town itself.

Riley’s Fish Shack, however, is perhaps one of its most famous ocean-themed restaurants.

The semi-portable shack is currently located just a little further along the coast, at King Edward’s Bay.

Serving fresh, locally sourced seafood, it’s an ideal place to stop and chow down on some elevated versions of the traditional fish and chips.

As opposed to your usual fish and chip offering, Riley’s craft items such as Baccalau fishcakes and crispy skin halibut with caper butter.

For those feeling a little more adventurous, the fish bar also serves up lobsters and oysters.

The restaurant was awarded the prestigious Good Food Award for 2020.

Are there any walks to and from Long Sands Beach?

Long Sands beach itself is popular with walkers who enjoy strolling from North to South.

For those who are looking for a slightly longer walk, a popular route is along the coast from Whitley Bay to Tynemouth.

Stretching approximately three miles, this walk promises plenty of gorgeous views to feed hungry eyes.

The walk starts from Whitley Sands and heads south to Cullercoats Bay, via Long Sands beach.

Walkers hoping to go further can continue on to Tynemouth Castle which dates back around 2,000 years.

What facilities are on Long Sands beach?

There are two main car parks situated near Long Sands Beach – Beaconsfield car park and Sea Banks car park.

Long Sands South is also a ten-minute walk from both Cullercoats Metro station and Tynemouth Metro station.

There are toilets situated both at the north and south ends of the beach.

Is Long Sands beach dog-friendly?

The whole beach is open for dogs to enjoy from October 1 until the end of April.

In the summer months, however, dogs must stick to the middle section of the beach to the north end.

Both ends of the beach are accessible thanks to ramps.

The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen

The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen

Book - 2017
Average Rating:
Rate this:
"Hendrik Groen may be old, but he is far from dead and isn't planning to be buried any time soon. Granted, his daily strolls are getting shorter because his legs are no longer willing and he has to visit his doctor more than he'd like. Technically speaking he is...elderly. But surely there is more to life at his age than weak tea and potted geraniums? Hendrik sets out to write an exposé: a year in the life of his care home in Amsterdam, revealing all its ups and downs--not least his new endeavor, the anarchic Old-But-Not-Dead Club. And when Eefje moves in--the woman Hendrik has always longed for--he polishes his shoes (and his teeth), grooms what's left of his hair and attempts to make something of the life he has left, with hilarious, tender and devastating consequences."

Someone recommended this book to me and I am so glad they did. What a fun look at this man's life. What a sad look at his life. What an interesting look at his life. As I am 78, I see my future if it is not already here.

ArapahoeKati Mar 18, 2020

You'll laugh and cry when you read about the hijinks of the Old But Not Dead Club, a group of older adults who refuse to pass their twilight years doing nothing but instead doing something. Fans of A Man Called Ove, try this.

Feb 03, 2020

Excellent, absolutely excellent!

Jan 24, 2020

I *loved* this book, and the sequel. Wonderful characters, laugh-out-loud moments, tenderness, pathos, thoughtfulness... I'd give it five stars, but it seems all I can do is add a comment. (Edit--okay, I think I managed to give it its well-deserved five stars!)

multcolib_susannel Dec 14, 2019

83 Year old Hendrik Groen has decided to live the last years of his life to its fullest- so he and his friend form the Not Dead Yet Club.

Sep 24, 2019

I found this book rang very true about the dreary lives of many in seniors' facilities. Fortunately Hendrik and his gang decide to tackle this problem for themselves. An interesting read.

JessicaGma Sep 03, 2019

It's a clever conceit that examines very real implications of aging, death and how do you best manage both. Hendrik is a delight.

Jul 25, 2019

This book is a pure delight, one of the most amusing things I've read in many years. Gruen is a sly, mischievous old guy with a sardonic view of his world and those around him. He is waging a full time battle against the seemingly endless unwritten "regulations" that govern the seniors residence where he lives. As a founding member of the "Old but Not Dead" club he and his band of fellow rebels are intent upon living their lives to the full.
Gruen has brilliantly recreated the reality that many of us will face, with absolute honesty, courage, empathy and above all humor.
By far the best thing I've read so far this year.

Kstobo May 05, 2019

I really enjoy these old-people-as-protagonists books, and this one is no exception. Funny and sort of heart-breaking, totally recommend.

Beaverton_JennieC Oct 09, 2018

This book brought me so much joy (and, admittedly, a little bit of melancholy). Hendrik Groen is the grandpa we all wished we had. He's fastidious in his ways, compassionate, and just a little bit grumpy. His "secret diary" reveals the day-to-day hopes, musings, and gripes of an elderly man who lives in a senior home with other residents he finds mostly petty and annoying (with a few golden exceptions). Hendrik's mission to forge meaningful friendships and live out the last of his days as fully as he is able will renew your lease on life and have you in stitches.
