Amy Schumer Does a Strip Tease Following 'Formation' Spoof Controversy, Quotes Beyonce

Like Beyonce, Amy Schumer is starting all that conversation.

On Friday, the 35-year-old comedian posted a spoof of Queen Bey's "Formation" music video, and while many of her fans found the video hilarious, others criticized it for being racially insensitive. "When on an island with @goldiehawn @iamwandasykes and Joan Cusack… you listen to @beyonce and get in formation," Schumer captioned the clip in question, which was featured on Tidal, Jay Z's music streaming site that also released the "Formation" music video in February.

On Monday night, Schumer posted a response to some of the backlash the spoof music video was receiving, along with a photo of herself posing in only her underwear. "You know you that b**ch when you cause all this conversation," she wrote, quoting Beyonce's "Formation" lyrics.

"Thanks for the exclusive release Tidal!" she added. "We had so much fun making this tribute. All love and women inspiring each other. #strongertogether."

From there, Schumer got a little goofy with her Instagram posts. An hour later, she shared a video of her taking off her pajama top while doing a strip tease dance. Once her top is off in the video, the music abruptly stops. "Where's the music?" Schumer quips.

Not long after that post, the Trainwreck star put up a video from bed that she captioned: "Grateful."

Insisting that she's "sober" in the selfie video, she tells her followers: "I'm grateful. I'm grateful for all of this sh*t. Grateful to be alive right now during this time. I hope you have a good day too."

At this year's Emmy Awards, Beyonce and Schumer faced off when the 35-year-old singer's visual album, Lemonade, went up against the comedian's stand-up show, Amy Schumer: Live At The Apollo. They both lost out to other nominees.

During an interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show in August, Schumer recalled meeting Beyonce at this year's Met Gala in New York City, and joked that she let Queen Bey know that she wasn't thrilled about being at the star-studded soiree. "I got to meet Beyonce and she was like, 'Is this your first Met Gala?'" Schumer recalled. "And I was like, 'It's my last.'"

She added, "I don't like it. I have no interest in fashion. ...I don't care."

Prince Philip Looks Just Like Prince Harry in 1957 Photo and Everyone Is Losing It!

Getty Images

The royal ginger genes sure are strong!

Prince Philip looks exactly like his grandson, Prince Harry, in a 1957 French magazine cover shared by Getty royal photographer, Chris Jackson, on Instagram on Tuesday.

"Just spotted this handsome chap on the front of an ancient copy of @parismatch_magazine in deepest, darkest France," Jackson captioned the nearly 60-year-old cover shot, before challenging his followers to identify the handsome royal. "Who do you think it is?!"

Jackson also tweeted the photo joking that the magazine’s "handsome cover star" made him do a "double take."

From his red hair and scruffy beard to his military uniform, the Duke of Edinburgh's resemblance to Harry is almost scary, and Jackson’s social media followers were rightfully freaking out over the similarities.

"It's Prince Phillip? Or it is Harry doing a spot of time travel?" a fan wrote underneath Jackson's post.

"Wow just like his grandfather," added another, while a Twitter user was clearly shocked by the throwback pic. "I thought that was Harry!"

Prince Philip isn’t Harry’s only doppelgänger. The 32-year-old royal recently met his adorable mini-me during an even in London. See more on Harry’s pint-sized lookalike the video below.

New developments at our School of Biblical Studies

EMF’s School of Biblical Studies runs a foundation-level six-month course to facilitate and equip Christian leaders to handle the Bible better and to fulfil Jesus’ Great Commission in Europe.

Recently, we’ve made a small but signi cant change to the name of this well-established school. From now on, it will be the European School of Biblical Studies. The school is a strategic part of EMF. By spelling out that it’s European, partly to enable us to collaborate more e ectively with organisations in Europe, we hope we’ve made a change for the better. In addition, while the name and visual identity may have changed, our vision and values remain the same.

A new visual identity is not just about exchanging one logo for another logo. We hope this change makes an important point. The spiral in our new logo symbolises the seed of God’s Word being scattered throughout Europe. To this end, we want to train Christians and Christian leaders to ful l what we see as the Great European Commission. We want to equip people to reach the lost!

Sell Property in Scotland Fast to Overseas Investors in 2017

01/12/2016 0 Comment(s) Scotland,

If you’re wondering how to sell property in Scotland fast in 2017, well, you need to look beyond the UK. Scotland has always been a very insular market, with most of the buyers here being domestic investors, or those from the rest of the UK.

That should change soon, as the Brexit referendum of June 23 has put off a lot of domestic buyers from investing in properties in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. But there is still a lot of interest in properties in the UK, and especially in Scotland from overseas investors.

Scotland has become a major attraction for buyers from China, Russia and the Middle East. Wealthy Chinese, Russian and Arab buyers have always wanted to get a piece of Scottish real estate.

After all, Scotland is one of the most beautiful parts of the world, with stunning landscapes, vast mountainous regions, beautiful river valleys and much more. Who can forget the breathtaking visuals from the Mel Gibson film, Braveheart, which was set in Scotland?

Not just non-EU investors, even wealthy Europeans, including cash rich Germans, have been showing a lot of interest in Scotland. Selling to foreign investors is different from selling to domestic buyers. You will need to hire overseas property specialists who are experienced at buying and selling properties in the international property market. That’s absolutely important.

But why are international investors so interested in Scottish properties? It’s not just about the outstanding Scottish landscape. Any property investment in Scotland is guaranteed to get amazing returns.  Scotland’s rental market is only next to London when it comes to the rental yield.

Scottish cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen are among the fastest growing in the UK. They have been the beneficiaries of hundreds of millions in overseas investment.

Consider the housing market in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, which has over 500,000 residents. Edinburgh is a very prosperous city, which is thriving right now, having fully recovered from the lows of the 2008 housing crisis.

Even the June 23 referendum in which majority of Britons voted to leave the European Union has had no effect whatsoever on the housing market in Edinburgh. If anything, any dip in home prices has been bought into by foreign investors, who have shown a lot of eagerness to invest in the city.

 It’s the same for Glasgow and Aberdeen. They are attracting foreign buyers in the same numbers as they were before the Brexit referendum. Properties are available for a slight discount right now and a lot of overseas property investors are taking advantage of that.

 Most of the foreign buyers who have shown such an interest in Scotland come from the United States and Canada, which have a sizeable number of people with Scottish heritage. Buyers from China, Middle East, Germany and other European countries are also becoming increasingly visible.

Certainly, Scotland is on the right track. You shouldn’t find it difficult to sell your property fast in Scotland, as long as you target overseas – not domestic - investors.

Israel, ponder this message!

God didn’t reject His people, which He foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? If Israel will not continue in their unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

Full view:

Hello, welcome! On May 18th, 2021, the messenger angel of God brought on this message to Prophet Benjamin Cousijnsen, which I’d like to share with you.

Shalom! I greet you in the Kadosh, holy and almighty Name of Yeshua HaMashiach, YHWH, Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

Romans 8, verse 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

Verily, prick up your ears and listen attentively!

Romans 8, verses 22 to 25 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
And verse 31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
And verses 33 to 35 Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
And verse 37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Verily, let the Holy Spirit touch you in your heart and soul and mind.

Romans 9, verses 30 to 33 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith; but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness. Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone; even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”

Verily, my name is Revelado, and I am a messenger angel of God.

Romans 11, verse 2 God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
And verses 5 to 7 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

Verily, this message is prophetic which has been passed on to you. Think about it!

Romans 11, verse 23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
And verses 30 to 32 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy. For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
And Romans 12, verse 21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
And Romans 13, verses 10 to 12 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law. Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed. The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
And Romans 14, verse 13 Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
And verse 16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.
And verse 19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
And Romans 16, verse 20 And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
And 1 Corinthians 2, verses 9 to 15 But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.” But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God’s Spirit. But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God. Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

And John 3, verses 16 to 21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He “or she” who believes in him is not judged. He “or she” who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he “or she” has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his “or her” works would be exposed. But he “or she” who does the truth comes to the light, that his “or her” works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.

And Revelation 22, verses 20 and 21 He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.

I’m going now, spoke the messenger angel of God, Ruacha, Yeshu, Shalom!

The Brazilian Classical Song

available at iTunes / Amazon

Two hundred years journey through the history of the Brazilian Classical Song.
The Brazilian Classical Songbook is one of longing. Hauled from either Portugal or Africa, the immigrants brought along a lust for their homeland, a yearning for which the Portuguese has a word for unrivaled by any other language: the famous saudade.

Such saudade is found in almost every song; it speaks as a longing from a past all but lost, as it were grief for a lost love. In addition to their native musical education, most of the Brazilian composers presented here also studied in Europe. While their music is thereby suffused and enriched with European influence, the original mood of longing infuses their compositions.

Having worked with Tim, Catherine and their team over the past 3 years I couldn't recommend them highly enough. This year's product launch conception, planning and execution at the Detectival outdoor event went beyond the scope of the brief and they provided additional ideas for content and creating an experience around the event that was well received and brilliantly executed. They really think about how much can be gained from the investment that is made in time and money by their clients and work as hard as they can to deliver the optimum. Looking forward to working with them again in the future. (see more reviews)

Courtney Friel

“In West Philadelphia born and raised, on a playground is where I spent most of my days”.. Yes, we’re obviously quoting Will Smith’s introduction to his TV show breakthrough. But as you can see on your right, we’ve got a hot, white female, not a black hunk. Meet Courtney Friel, the new World Poker Tour host.

Courtney Friel is a versatile television journalist. Previously you have seen Courtney working with “America’s Most Wanted”, “E! News”, “Trackers” and various Nickelodeon shows. Today, she works with Travel Channel’s World Poker Tour as a TV host. That’s right, this is Shanna Hiatt, just a bit different.

When not working with the WPT events in Paris, Aruba or Las Vegas, she reports for the CBS affiliate in Palm Springs, where she hosts a video game show seen in EB Games stores in the United States and Canada.

In her youth, Courtney constantly annoyed her friends and foes by interviewing them. Whenever there was a video camera around, she would make sure to expose her pretty face. But as far as success goes, this was not apparent until her first breakthrough on television. Before that, she had almost given up on journalism because public school did not offer what she wanted.

When Freil finally got her first job, he was hired as an anchor and reporter. Her duties included everything from camera adjustments to editing as well as writing and story-telling. Unfortunately, her first day in the air became her last one, too. A deadly tornado struck the studio at 4 in the morning and leveled basically everything, including her car.

There Is No Right Way To Get Outside
Explore Ranches Creative Lead Josh Winkler reflects on the importance of spending time in the outdoors, and why there is no right way to get outside.

May 14, 2021

Hands trembling from the cold, I reached back into the darkness, fumbling for more rocks and clods of dirt. I could feel water starting to drip from the rock ceiling onto my damp sleeping bag, but my mind was focused on the steadily increasing stream of water working its way towards me. I no longer jumped at the crack of thunder and flash of lightning from outside, I was too intent on shaping a little dam out of whatever I could find-- anything to stop the water from soaking my bed for the night. As the rain increased, my once-dry shelter was turning into a swamp. With some work, I eventually molded a successful water diversion system, and laid back on my bag. Peering out into the night, I hoped that the rest of my group had found shelter from the rain, wind, and hail.

I was high in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the spine of granite domes and deep river valleys that separates California’s fertile Central Valley from the barren desert landscapes of Nevada. Above tree line and without tents (we carried only tarps to keep weight down), my brothers, dad, a couple friends, and I had been caught off guard by a particularly violent storm as the sun went down. Scattering at the first bolt of lightning and deluge of rain, we had scrambled to find granite boulders and ledges under which we arranged ourselves to spend the night.

Memories like these punctuate the summers of my youth. Moments of intense, often difficult, exchanges with Mother Nature, they were experiences that always made for good stories once back home in the relative calm of the Texas Hill Country. These trips to the mountains were orchestrated by my dad, whose lifetime of backpacking in the Sierras had provided the stories I fell asleep to growing up. As I got older, these were the types of experiences that I valued and sought out. From them, I learned invaluable lessons about myself and developed an intense love for getting into nature.

What I had learned, too, was my dad’s particular way of engaging with the outdoors. The most successful trips were the ones where we saw the least number of people, caught the most fish, went over the highest passes, and scraped by through some screw-up that would make for a great story back home. Exhilarating and exhausting, these trips had immense value placed on them.

But with age, it has become clear what an immense privilege it was to have the skills, gear, time, and resources, not to mention the well managed public land, to embark on such adventures. It was through generational knowledge and sheer luck that we were able to traverse mountain ranges from end to end without suffering any (serious) accidents. And while I look back upon these trips fondly, I have come to realize that I can achieve many of the same benefits without having to plan for months, hop on a plane, and push myself to my physical limit.

What I gained from those trips was a sense of wonder, an escape from the ordinary, a slowing down, and a deep connection with a place and the people I was exploring it with. These benefits, totally unquantifiable but now backed up by peer-reviewed research as providing invaluable mental and physical health outcomes, can be achieved almost anywhere, and in countless ways.

You don’t need to spend a paycheck at REI, loading up on the newest Patagonia and North Face gear, and you don’t need to travel to some exotic or far flung locale. You certainly don’t need maps and compasses, and I promise, getting outside or going on a hike still counts even if you don’t post a picture of yourself by the waterfall on social media.

You can find a sense of wonder by learning a few species of trees in your neighborhood and watching them change throughout the seasons. You can escape from the ordinary by exploring a park in your area that you’ve never been to. You can slow down by choosing to notice what birds land in your backyard, instead of getting on your phone. And you truly can create a deep connection with a place, and with your friends and family, by making it a habit to get outside and remain in the present. The truth is, you don’t need to get caught in thunder storms, scare off bears, lose the trail, or fall into rivers to learn the lessons I did, or to fall in love with the outdoors.

Attention is firmly on the short-term future of Ether after Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency surged to new all-time highs above $3,500.

The next few months promise to be exhilarating and decisive for Ether (”>ETH), as its recent all-time highs above $3,500 put an even bigger spotlight on the cryptocurrency and its smart contract blockchain, Ethereum.

As the cryptocurrency markets continue to grow five months into 2021, both the preeminent Bitcoin (”>BTC) and a host of other blockchain projects and tokens have soared in value, chief among them being Ether. The second-biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has enjoyed a buoyant fortnight that has seen it rise to new heights.

Indeed, ETH went on a late-April surge,”>backed by several key factors that have led to a rapid price appreciation across cryptocurrency markets. The booming decentralized finance sector coupled with the burgeoning nonfungible token, or NFT, space have been attributed as major reasons for ETH’s price boom, as these technologies are mostly based on the Ethereum blockchain. However, the importance of the recently implemented Berlin upgrade and”>bullish ETH options traders has helped push the price of the network’s token even higher.

The booming price of ETH has also led to renewed talk of a fabled ETH–BTC “flippening,” which would see Ether overtake Bitcoin as the most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization. While that is still a long way off, as Ether’s $411-billion market cap is worth just 39% of Bitcoin’s $1.06-trillion market cap, ETH is increasingly catching up.

This is evident in the sheer amount of capital that is being poured into Ether by investors. CoinShares recently estimated that institutional investment managers and firms”>hold around $13.9 billion in ETH, with $30 million worth of ETH purchased in the last week of April and around $170 million bought over the past calendar month.

The question on the minds of cryptocurrency traders, “hodlers,” Ethereum proponents, DeFi and NFT users, and the wider community is fairly obvious: What lies in store for ETH over the next few months, and can the network keep up with the demand?

Speculatively bullish?

Maria Paula Fernandez, adviser to the board of directors of Golem Network — a protocol built on Ethereum’s second layer that facilitates computational resource sharing — told Cointelegraph that the next few months promise to be exciting given the growth up until this point.

While she was cautious to give an outright price prediction for ETH, Fernandez believes that the upcoming changes to the network will pave the way for further growth in value across the Ethereum ecosystem: “I’m in as much awe as everybody else, so out of abundance of caution, I’m having a hard time making predictions, but I can definitely say that $10k ETH is no longer a pipe dream but something that’s likely to happen.”

Fernandez agreed that the price of ETH could certainly go higher in the next two months leading up to the deployment of the”>hotly debated Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559, which will form part of the London hard fork.

While the looming EIP-1559 will play an integral role, Fernandez said that Ethereum’s utility has already been proved as a better solution for various financial tools and that this is a key driver of the price of ETH. “The NFT fever coupled with 2020’s DeFi summer brought in swathes of new users and they are here to stay.” She added further:

“Now, 2021 has been proving to be the year of Layer 2 solutions, which alleviated the challenges with Ethereum’s scalability, and that, together with the incredible improvements on UX on the application layer which makes it easier to use an Ethereum-based app than, say, online banking, clearly proves ETH as fuel and as hard money for the open finance ecosystem.”

Nikhil Shamapant, a retail investor and medical resident, recently published a research report titled “Ethereum, The Triple Halving” in which he presented arguments for why he thinks ETH could see a meteoric rise in value to around $150,000 by 2023.

When asked by where ETH could be headed in the next couple of months leading up to the London hard fork, Shamapant provided Cointelegraph with an extremely bullish, and admittedly speculative, prediction for the smart contract blockchain’s native token:

“It definitely can go much higher, I think we can see the price go to $10,000, where a lot of ETH bull price targets begin to kick in and people take profits. I think we’ll head up to that $10-25k range, hit a lot of supply and could see some big drawdowns and consolidation at that point.”

Shamapant’s lofty long-term price prediction for ETH does need to be put into context. If the price of ETH were to hit $150,000, the market cap of the cryptocurrency would be around $17 trillion, considering that there is 115,764,316 ETH in circulation. Unlike Bitcoin’s finite supply of 21 million BTC, there is no supply cap for Ether, which is part of the reason that the network is looking to implement EIPs that introduce some sort of deflationary mechanism, like EIP-1559 — but more on that later.

As Shamapant unpacks in his report, things may well be ramping up as of May, but the current price of ETH and the burgeoning use of NFTs and DeFi could well be the catalyst of some serious growth for an ecosystem that he believes is still undervalued:

“NFTs and DeFi have shown a clear use case, but we’re still in the early innings. NFT quality is going to go up dramatically, DeFi usability will improve with scalability improvements to ETH2.0 — and yes, ETH is dramatically undervalued in this context.”

Fernandez gave a more subtle take on the current valuation of the Ethereum ecosystem and its native token, admitting that the network is finally realizing its potential, which is reflected in the price of ETH: “I don’t feel the network is undervalued. It was definitely undervalued before, and throughout the bear market — but I think right now it’s getting the recognition and visibility that it deserves.”

London looming on the horizon

The London hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain is expected to take place in July and will introduce EIP-1559. The upgrade has been both contentious and highly anticipated due to the changes it’s set to make to the structure of fees paid by users and earned by miners.

As Nick Johnson, lead developer of Ethereum Naming Service — a naming service for Ethereum wallets — explained to Cointelegraph, EIP-1559 will make some important changes to how fees are calculated and paid for on the blockchain:

“It [the London hard fork] will include EIP-1559, the much-anticipated rework of the transaction fee market, which will have a huge impact on user-experience sending transactions on a congested network. It will also make it possible for smart contracts to fetch the ‘base fee’ — effectively, the gas cost of the current block — which will make projects such as gas-price-derivatives and tokens possible.”

The major reason that EIP-1559 has also been labeled contentious is the”>built-in ETH burn mechanism that will destroy some of the Ether used to pay the associated transaction fee. This has had Ethereum miners up in arms, as receiving transaction fees has traditionally been an important incentive for miners to maintain the network by confirming transactions and bundling them into blocks.

Although″>EIP-1559 has met some opposition from miners, the upside promised by the reduction in fees will likely positively impact the price of and raise even more interest in Ether, which have both been nothing short of astronomical with DeFi platforms and decentralized application usage exploding in recent months.

As experts pinpoint various groups as Dogecoin’s vanguard, the coin’s potential base seems to be a wide coalition.

In recent weeks, it has been hard to get through a day without running into a headline, or 50, referencing Dogecoin (”>DOGE). The meme cryptocurrency has seen its”>price appreciate exponentially on the heels of a”>series of celebrity endorsements, including billionaire Mark Cuban, Kiss member Gene Simmons and entertainment icon Snoop Dogg.

It is easy to dismiss what is going on with DOGE amid another round of hype-fueled frenzy — like the ones seen before — especially with “The Dogefather” Elon Musk workshopping ideas ahead of his”>Saturday Night Live hosting gig on May 8.

However, this time, something never before seen is happening: The use of Dogecoin for payments has been ramping up along with the coin’s price. In addition to the National Basketball Association’s Dallas Mavericks, a team owned by Dogecoin proponent Mark Cuban,”>Major League Baseball franchises are now also getting into the DOGE game. But is the growth of DOGE payments sustainable outside of hype cycles?

Much likable medium of exchange

Money can be a tool for coordinating human activity. To take on this role, the asset used as a medium of exchange must command the positive sentiment of a large enough audience. This favorable attitude can stem from a long-entrenched convention (as in the case of fiat), technological soundness (like a token designed to facilitate monetary transactions on a blockchain), or simply the fact that people like it or think it is easy and funny.

Dogecoin lacks technological robustness; it hasn’t seen a significant software update in many years. Until recently, the asset’s practical usage was mainly confined to tipping people on forums for witty remarks.

Yet, it is not unthinkable that the combination of Dogecoin’s memetic power — something it has demonstrated on multiple occasions in the past — plus the fading boundaries between collective sentiment and collective action, could mean more for adoption as a payment tool than for a sound reputation or technological superiority.

Granted, the chief motivation for businesses to start accepting DOGE payments at this time is likely the”>ticket to the hype train that making such a move confers. In addition to viral fame, a brand can benefit from the support of a vibrant Dogecoin crowd interested in boosting businesses that are shilling their bags on social media — a relationship some observers label as “mutually parasitic.” But it is anyone’s guess what will happen when a critical mass of businesses decide to take this route.

Very zoomer money?

Analysts often cite Dogecoin’s popularity with younger internet users as the rocket fuel that can eventually take it to all kinds of incredible places. In a recent interview, Ran Neuner, co-founder and CEO of blockchain investment firm Onchain Capital, suggested that young TikTok users could generate sufficient network effects to make DOGE a viable tool for online transactions.

It is difficult to estimate how popular Dogecoin is with teenagers and young adults. Indeed, it is a compelling idea that the coin that started as a joke and now has a $77-billion market capitalization embodies the nihilistic spirit of the younger generation. It is also true that”>last summer’s price pump began on TikTok.

Yet, when it comes to the question of how many zoomers — members of Generation Z — are using DOGE, the most honest answer is that there is no way of knowing. Reliable survey data on crypto usage is hard to come by, doubly true for age-group-specific data. According to the latest iteration of investment bank Piper Sandler’s “Taking Stock With Teens” survey, 9% of teenagers in the United States reported having traded cryptocurrencies. While the almost one-in-ten statistic looks solid, there are no details on which assets the respondents have traded.

Another recent survey by financial group Charles Schwab measured cryptocurrency trading behavior among young adults in the United Kingdom. It found that more than half of British investors between the ages of 18 and 37 traded or held cryptocurrencies, as compared to 25% of those who bought stocks. Again, no details on the usage of specific coins or the share of respondents who reported being active on TikTok.

In a follow-up conversation with Cointelegraph, Neuner likened the Dogecoin following to a rebellion movement: “Dogecoin has become anti-establishment, anti-normal,” adding further:

“People who don’t like to follow the rules turn to Dogecoin to show that they can make anything work, even against the odds. I said this many times: I think it’s always 20% about technology, 80% about adoption. And in this case, Doge is actually being adopted.”

So wide appeal

While it remains an open question if a single age or interest group can drive an asset’s ascent to the coveted status of mainstream payment method, Dogecoin potentially has appeal to a wide array of users. In addition to the nihilistic youth and meme-loving day traders, it could be an easy and friendly entryway for beginners in the digital asset space.

Devoid of the pretense of a technologically complex asset, the pup-emblazoned coin is well-positioned to become the first crypto for the less tech-savvy newcomers arriving in droves as crypto goes more mainstream.

Furthermore, the air of unseriousness could attract people nostalgic for the times before Bitcoin (”>BTC) derivatives were traded on major institutional platforms. Dogecoin could be the last bastion of the olden crypto spirit that traditional finance sharks would want to deal with — hence, the people’s coin?

Expectedly, many crypto experts are having none of it. When asked if Dogecoin has any future as a medium of exchange, Joshua Frank, CEO of cryptocurrency data analytics firm The TIE, responded to Cointelegraph:

“No. It is a funny meme, and it has gained a tremendous amount of mainstream attention, but I don’t foresee any future in which Doge is the coin of the internet.”

Still, with the right combination of social sentiment, well-timed celebrity tweets and forays by engagement-seeking big brands, it does not seem unfeasible that DOGE could find mass popularity as a payment tool in some sizable corner of the online economy.

But price speculation will remain a big concern as, until it achieves enough network effect, whales or influencers could easily sway the coin.

BTC price rebounding back to $40,000 is just one of the few signs that the bears may be exhausted.

The price of Bitcoin surged higher on May 26,”>breaching the $40,000 level for the first time in five days as traders brushed aside concerns about China’s crypto ban and the United States’”>crypto tax proposal.

The benchmark cryptocurrency reached an intraday high of $40,855 before turning lower owing to profit-taking sentiment.

In the meantime, analysts such as Cheds and Korous AK expect BTC/USD to hit $42,000 in the short term but advised caution on extended upside positions unless the spot market confirms a clear bullish breakout.

Cheds, particularly, showed a bullish conviction if Bitcoin reclaims its 200-day simple moving average (200-day SMA), which is currently around $40,600. The wave has historically served as a strong price floor against long-term bearish trends.

Bitcoin briefly closed above 200-day SMA. Source: TradingView

More support for a bullish Bitcoin outlook came from on-chain data. At least three blockchain-focused metrics showed that the cryptocurrency bottomed out after”>crashing to $30,000 on May 19.

Bitcoin exchange deposits decline

On-chain analytics platform Glassnode revealed earlier on May 26 that the total number of crypto addresses sending Bitcoin to cryptocurrency exchanges declined on a seven-day average timeframe.

Previous 1-month low of 6,356.643 was observed on May 25. Source: Glassnode Alerts

The metric, dubbed “Number of Addresses Depositing to Exchanges,” illustrates the number of unique addresses that appear as a sender in a transaction sending funds to exchanges. Simply put, it shows a decline in the number of new Bitcoin traders who might want to transfer BTC to exchanges to sell it or trade it for other assets.

New traders/investors are prone to react more emotionally to wild crypto price swings. But with the Glassnode metric showing a plunge in unique Bitcoin depositors to exchanges, it signals a downtrend in potential selling pressure.

NVT reaches classic bullish reversal level

Meanwhile, the seven-day average output on Bitcoin’s network value-to-transaction (NVT) signal has dropped to a 14-month low, Glassnode data shows.

Bitcoin bearish sentiment seems to be exhausting as the NVT signal drops to March 2020 low. Source: Glassnode Alerts

Bitcoin’s price reacted bullishly when the NVT signal touched 500 on the hourly chart, as the chart above shows. Based on fractal sentiment alone, the metric now suggests a sharp bullish reversal in the Bitcoin market as it trades 36% above its previous bottom level of $30,000.

Accumulation address uptrend

Another Glassnode metric shows that the latest Bitcoin price dip has done very little in shaking investors’ long-term bullish sentiment. The “Number of Accumulation Addresses” claimed a record high just as the BTC/USD exchange rate hit $30,000 on May 19, taking the total to above 545,000.

Glassnode defines accumulation addresses as those that have at least two incoming Bitcoin transactions and that have never spent funds. The analytics service considers these addresses as long-term holders.

A spike in accumulation addresses during the BTC price crash that”>destroyed billions in leveraged positions shows that bulls with long-term setup absorbed the selling pressure. That marks another sign of bearish exhaustion as Bitcoin attempts to flip $40,000 into a new support level.

Ukip outlines 'fair migration' policy involving ban on unskilled workers and leaving EU

UKIP will deliver a “firm but fair” immigration regime which enables Britain to be “at ease with itself”, Nigel Farage said yesterday.

Comment section Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Copy link Link copied

Nigel Farage and Stephen WoolfeTIM CLARKE

Nigel Farage and Stephen Woolfe outline their Ukip immigration policy

The party leader promised to restore “sanity” to immigration policy with a five-year ban on unskilled workers – but dropped plans to limit annual inflow to 50,000.

He said he would start by leaving the European Union and would refuse to sign up to any rules that guaranteed free movement of labour.

Instead an Australian-style system designed to bring net migration down to “normal” levels would assess applicants for skills.

A panel would implement the rules and say which skills Britain needed.

The announcement marks a shift from Ukip’s position – confirmed by immigration spokesman Steven Woolfe last week – of a 50,000 cap.

But Mr Farage insisted there had been no softening and the policy had merely evolved.

The leader said his points-based system would have let only 27,000 people in last year.

He accused politics of being “obsessed” with caps and targets but said voters would not believe any party that promised another cap.

Mr Farage also said he would end discrimination against skilled workers from countries like India and New Zealand who can be blocked while unskilled EU migrants cannot.

If we get a grip on numbers coming in we will once more live in a society that is at ease with itself

Nigel Farage

“Ukip is putting forward a policy that will take immigration into Britain back to normal.

"We’re asking to do what normal countries do,” he said.

“There has been no softening of the Ukip position.

"We’ve got a firm but fair immigration policy.

“We’ve got a plan to turn immigration from what is now one of the most divisive forces in British politics and society into something that is positive and welcoming.

"I want to live in a country that is at ease with itself, that has integration, where we speak the same language, where our kids want to play football together and we all get on.

“We are a country that has a history of doing that very well.

"We’ve lost sight of that over the past few years.

"If we get a grip on numbers coming in we will once more live in a society that is at ease with itself.”

Speaking in central London to an enthusiastic audience of Ukip activists and election candidates, Mr Farage stressed he was descended from Protestant refugees from France and said he did not blame immigrants seeking to better their lives here.

Ukip would let in “people with skills and trades that will benefit this nation, people who have not got a criminal record, who have not got a life-threatening illness and people who bring with them medical insurance and do not qualify for state benefits until they’ve been in this country for five years and contributed”.

Key Words Colposcopy; Yaginoscopy; Cervicoscopy; Hysteroscopy; Unsatisfactory; Discrepancy; Case report
Core Tip Combined with cervical screening, colposcopy greatly decrease the incidence of cervical cancer. Exposure and biopsy are two key steps in colposcopy. When the whole transformation zone or the entire lesions are not observed, we judge it unsatisfied. For type 3 transformation zone, some clinicians employ cervicoscopy as supplement. However, there were no related solutions for the dilemma caused by adhesion or obstruction. Here, we introduced a case, post hysterectomy, with deep vaginal apex not fully exposed in colposcopy, and the biopsy result was vaginal precancerous lesion. We adopted vaginoscopy to extend and expose the lesion thoroughly and the biopsy result was vaginal squamous cancer.

Interconnecting rooms for couples at Fairfield

Couples can have their own private space just as they would at home

Older couples live together in care home

When one half of an elderly couple has to move to a care home, it is often the first time that they have been forced to live apart. Having been together for so long, very often over 60 years, living apart at this stage of their lives can have increasingly negative effects on their physical and metal wellbeing.

At Fairfield we have a number of interconnecting rooms that enable couples to continue living together in a care home. Couples can benefit from individual levels of care and enjoy life within the Fairfield community but have their own private space just as they would at home.

Our suites for couples offer flexible accommodation and residents can choose to use it either as two separate bedrooms with en-suite facilities or as one bedroom and a lounge area. We encourage residents to bring pieces of furniture, pictures and personal items to make their rooms feel like home from home. Having familiar items around provides reassurance and continuity for both partners.

A couples suite at Fairfield also removes the challenges of coping with everyday life at home on older age. From food and shopping to care and laundry, we look after everything to make life easy.

All residents enjoy a varied choice of good wholesome home cooked food, which can be eaten with others in the restaurant or can be served in your room if preferred. There’s no need to worry about washing or cleaning, as our housekeeping team clean and do all the laundry. Some couples may enjoy sitting in their rooms watching television or doing crosswords, but there are lots of activities, outings and entertainment on offer if one or both of them want to join in.

We can provide personal care plans for each person, supporting their differing individual needs. This takes the pressure off the partner who provided the care at home and gives them more quality time to enjoy each other’s company.

Our son felt a burden had been lifted from his shoulders knowing that we were able to stay together at Fairfield and be well cared for.

Irene & Peter, respite residents

Why is it important for elderly couples to continue living together in care?

The time couples spend together is precious, none more so than in older age. They rely on each other for companionship and support, they know each other’s ways and habits and to be separated is often very emotional and stressful.

As physical and mental faculties start to decline, couples rely more on each other than ever and it is not a good time for them to be apart. However, when one partner has differing levels of care to the other and needs to move into a care home, often it is the one remaining at home that may not be able to cope.

If one half of a couple moves into a care home, the other may struggle to live at home on their own, to cook for themselves, to get around and to have someone there to talk to.

In non COVID times when care home visiting is easier, if the person left at home has mobility issues, it could be difficult for them to visit their loved one which often leads to emotional distress and increased isolation for both parties.

Living together forever is something that every spouse hopes to achieve. Having a shared suite in a care home like Fairfield makes this possible, whether it is for a respite stay or permanently.

Flea And Tick Control  Treating Customers Like Family Since 1981

San Antonio Flea & Tick Control

Licensed & Trained by the Texas Structural Pest Control Service

As the weather has increasingly gotten warmer, there has simultaneously been an enormous influx of ticks and fleas breeding across the entire United States. Unfortunately, Texas is no exception to the increase of these pesky populations. These small but horrid terrors are not just an itchy nuisance, but carry with them an abundance of various viruses and diseases which are liable to cause major illnesses. If you have had the bad luck of being bitten by a tick, you need to be immediately tested for Lyme disease, which is quick to spread and can have long-term consequences.

Not only have tick-borne diseases been on the rise, doubling in the last dozen years, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, but so have illnesses carried by the growing population of fleas, steadily booming since 2014. The good news is that Family Pest Control LLC has been caring for families and individuals in the area as far back as 1981. When it comes to flea and tick control in San Antonio, we are familiar with the habits of these critters like the back of our hand, and even better at getting rid of them.

Call us today at (210) 762-6991 for our comprehensive methods of eliminating and preventing these horrible infestations.

How Our Flea & Tick Treatment Works

Because our experts are highly trained in recognizing hot spots for fleas and ticks, you can count on our specialists to come and root out these nasty problems. Once we identify where these parasites are living, we will treat these hiding spots to completely wipe out their population from your whole property.

Some of the key areas where fleas and ticks like to hide on your property include:

  • Areas that are shaded
  • Pet houses and mats
  • Spots with sandy soil
  • Fence lines
  • Areas with long grass

Once the treatment has been completed, our professionals will arm you with additional guidance, tips, and advice for how to make sure tick and flea infestations do not return to your home.

Costs of An Outdoor Flea & Tick Treatment

The first step of your treatment process is having a trained expert examine your property, who will identify all the hot beds for these pests, and then immediately start killing them, all for the low price of $195. This single cost covers the entirety of properties up until 5,000 square feet. Although there are over 900 distinct species of ticks, the primary dangers to human and animal health are deer ticks, dog ticks, and lone star ticks. No matter the tick, we will get rid of it for you.

Family Pest Control's Flea & Tick Warranty

One of the best things you can count on when you entrust Family Pest Control LLC with getting rid of your fleas is a 30-day warranty for free. Our technicians are so confident in our ability to provide complete flea and tick control in San Antonio, that we will come back for free if you spot a flea (or a tick!)

Contact us now at (210) 762-6991 to be free of fleas and ticks forever.

merritt’s GOTY 2020: These Were Good Too

Haha man shit was fucking wild this year, here are ten games I played that didn’t quite make it to my top 10 list, but they’re good too.

kill it with fire convenience blaze

1. Kill It With Fire

A short first-person puzzle game about killing spiders, Kill It With Fire kind of came out of nowhere. Fanbyte EIC Danielle Riendeau described it as “a wonderful surprise… in a spritely little package” which just about sums it up. They even added some options post-release to make the game a little more arachnophobe-friendly. It didn’t quite make it into my top 10 just because there was so much competition in the first-person puzzle/exploration genre this year, but Kill It With Fire is a lot of fun — it’s the kind of game that makes you ask “I wonder if I can…” then always answers in the affirmative.

2. Griftlands

I usually can’t play turn-based roguelikes — not because I’m bad at them, but because they end up keeping me awake until 4 AM trying “one more run.” Klei’s Griftlands was different because of the game’s focus on narrative consequence, which encouraged me to slow down and treat the experience more like a conventional adventure game than a roguelike. It took some getting used to, but the mix of combat and negotiation systems works really well, and the world is interesting enough that it feels like more than just set dressing. It’s currently in Early Access so I kept it off my top 10 list, but I’ll probably get back into it when the 1.0 release drops next year.

Quantum League

3. Quantum League

I still don’t know how to explain Quantum League. It’s a shooter where you go back in time and can kill your opponent to stop them from killing you in an alternate timeline so that you land on the objective and win. It’s complicated. But it’s very fun. I don’t really play competitive shooters but streaming this with Niki was a blast.

4. Deep Rock Galactic

A first-person shooter that’s really not about shooting at all, Deep Rock Galactic is a cooperative experience where players work together to mine valuable minerals out of bug-infested caves. The shooting is pretty incidental here, though it feels pretty good anyway, and all of the classes contribute something different and useful to the effort, whether that’s setting up ziplines or lighting darkened areas. The only reason Deep Rock Galactic didn’t land on my top 10 is that I couldn’t convince anyone else to play yet another live game, and this is really the kind of title you want to be playing with people you know — it’s perfectly playable with strangers, but like Monster Hunter, it’s best shared with friends.

ghostrunner review

5. Ghostrunner

A first-person… slasher? We can do it. We have the technology. We can make a game where you’re a robot man who hacks at people instead of shooting them. And we can also make it so that while you’re doing that you’re running on the goddamn walls and using a grappling hook to launch yourself around. Did you like Titanfall 2? Do you want more of that? Play Ghostrunner. It’s kind of finicky sometimes and the worldbuilding is nothing to write home about, but man does it feel good to air dodge some cyberasshole’s gun then cyberslash his cyberface off.

Cruel Bands Career

6. Cruel Bands Career

I don’t remember how I found this, it just showed up on my Steam list one day. Cruel Bands Career is a game about a band but it’s not a rhythm game. Instead, it’s about balancing the egos of your three band members by rotating them around the stage to ensure that they receive good and bad guests (hot girls, drug dealers, murderous ghosts) in such a way that none of them gets so jealous or pissed off that they literally explode. It’s harder than Hades but it’s dripping with some much style that it’s worth giving a shot (on Easy mode).

Cloud Gardens

7. Cloud Gardens

Part meditative plant cultivation toy, part deliberate puzzle game, Cloud Gardens is one of the most unique titles I played this year. The goal-oriented play can sometimes be a little bit frustrating, but placing seeds and human detritus onto little low-poly dioramas is intensely compelling as well as thought-provoking. The only reason it’s not in my top 10 is that it’s technically not out yet — it’s still in Early Access.

Depanneur Nocturne

8. Depanneur Nocturne

The vibes here are off the chart, as you enter a little shop in the middle of the night with the goal of finding something special for your sweetheart at home. Maybe that’s a book, maybe it’s a turnip, maybe it’s an ancient magical egg. Everything is so lush and warm and traveling down into the tunnels underneath the shop to find the bathroom is an adventure in itself.

9. Wildfire

I was turned on to Wildfire by Steven Nguyen Scaife’s review of Carrion, a game that failed to live up to its promise of allowing you to embody a terrifying, stealthy monster. Wildfire is much closer to that, casting the player as a witch with powers that allow you to manipulate the elements to terrify and confound your persecutors. You can set pretty much everything and everyone on fire, or you can be a little more subtle than that. There’s a part where you get to play as a bobcat and I wish it lasted longer.

Hotshot Racing

10. Hotshot Racing

Made by Sumo Digital, the same people who developed the Sonic kart racing titles, Hotshot Racing is kind of a modern Daytona USA. It’s got this crisp, low-poly but high-res look that appeals directly to the part of my brain that was lured in by racing cabinets at movie theatres in the 90s. There are a ton of characters, cars, and little details to customize, and once you get the hang of drifting, it’s a lot of fun to boost around the tracks. I just wish they had a little more variation — like some verticality, for instance. I must also regretfully mention that a character says “the cake is a lie” sometimes. In 2020. Please stop doing this.
