  1. Last year I discovered Oldfield's version of an all-time classic:

  3. A hunter in western New York who mistook a 43-year-old woman for a deer was charged with manslaughter on Thursday. Rosemary Billquist was walking her dogs the day before Thanksgiving in the town of Sherman when she was shot once by Thomas Jadlowski. Jadlowski called 911 and stayed with Billquist until help arrived, but she was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital in Pennsylvania. The 43-year-old Billquist was shot at about 5:30 p.m. It is illegal to hunt big game after sunset or before dawn in New York state. "Today, Mr. Jadlowski is being held accountable for his dangerous and reckless conduct when he shot his neighbor in the dark," Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos said. Jadlowski was charged with hunting after hours in addition to second-degree manslaughter. He faces up to 15 years in prison. The funeral for Billquist was held in Sherman on Wednesday. "Like the rest of Chautauqua County, the Town of Sherman has many responsible hunters," Chautauqua County District Attorney Patrick Swanson said. "Having grown up in Sherman myself, I know of many families where hunting is a family affair. Responsible hunting is paramount to the safety of anyone enjoying the outdoors. This incident is a tragic reminder of the importance that hunting laws be followed. This incident was completely avoidable." Chautaugua County District Attorney Patrick Swanson, who grew up in the area, says he knows Jadlowski and also knew Billquist. Swanson attended the same high shcool as the victim but she was "a handful" of years older than him, he said in a Thursday press conference. He added that he would not recuse himself from the investigation into the incident. Department of Environmental Conservation captain Frank Lauricella urged hunters to obey the laws that exist to prevent these kinds of accidents. "In big game hunting you can hunt from sunrise to sunset. Those are specific times you can find on the weather app or in the local newspaper...so when you talk about sunrise, sunset times, they are specific," he said. He said hunters should exercise caution at all times. "Once a bullet projectile or pellets leave the barrel, you cannot call them back. It's very important to know your target, know what's behind it...keeping your finger off the triger until you are ready to fire."
  4. No, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.
  5. A volcanic “super-eruption” capable of wiping out human civilization will come much sooner than thought, scientists have warned. Cataclysmic blasts powerful enough to send humanity back to the Stone Age are part of the planet’s normal cycle — happening tens of thousands of years apart. But new research suggests the average time between the events is much less than previously thought. Super-eruptions can blanket an entire continent with volcanic ash and alter climate on a global scale. Scientists have shown they are capable of returning humanity to a pre-civilization state. Like a giant meteor impact, a super-eruption can trigger a “nuclear winter” effect caused by dust thrown into the atmosphere blotting out the sun. Just one of the volcanic explosions can unleash more than 1,000 gigatons (1,000 billion tons) of erupted mass into the air. Previous estimates made in 2004 suggested super-eruptions occurred on average every 45,000 to 714,000 years and posed no immediate threat. But scientists have revised that number to between 5,200 and 48,000 years – with a “best guess” average of 17,000 years. The recalculation, published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, was based on a statistical analysis of a large database of past volcanic eruptions. The two most recent super-eruptions occurred between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago. Lead researcher Professor Jonathan Rougier, from the University of Bristol, said: “On balance, we have been slightly lucky not to experience any super-eruptions since then.” “But it’s important to appreciate that the absence of super-eruptions in the last 20,000 years does not imply that one is overdue. Nature is not that regular.” “What we can say is that volcanoes are more threatening to our civilization than previously thought.” Tourist rescue flights left Bali yesterday when winds diverted the ash cloud given off by the erupting Mount Agung.
  6. Why risk a ticket when you can just change traffic yourself with a bucket of paint and sheer disregard for safety? A relatable Chinese man, from the city of Lianyungang in the Jiangsu province, was caught on camera painting road signs to make his commute easier. The man, a 28-year-old identified by his surname Cai, tells the Modern Express that every day on his stressful bus commute, he noticed the “straight lane was always packed with cars, while the lane that turns left has a lot of space,” according to the report, which was translated by the BBC. So he bravely camped out in the intersection with a bucket of white paint and painted a new arrow that would allow cars to use the empty lane. A photo from the footage shows Cai painting a straight white arrow in the crowded intersection as cars rush past. “I thought changing the signs would make my commute smoother,” he says. Police said the valiant effort was actually pretty dangerous. He was fined the equivalent of $151.

    GO DEEP!

    Many parts of Earth’s oceans are still largely unexplored and the deeper you go the more mysteries are waiting to be unlocked. The deepest stretch of the ocean, the Mariana Trench, is populated by strange species that look bizarre and otherworldly compared to the animals we see closer to the surface and new research has revealed a completely new species of fish that ventures deeper than any other and it sure is strange. The Mariana snailfish looks a lot like a big tadpole, but it can live its life at conditions that would completely crush any amphibian. The fish was discovered using sturdy cameras and small traps which, because of the distance, took four full hours to sink from the surface. The creature is a true masterpiece of nature and it’s apparently thriving in its deep home. The specimens observed by the expedition crew were all incredibly healthy and appeared well nourished, which the team attributes to the fact that predators are sparse and food is plentiful at such incredible depths. “Snailfishes have adapted to go deeper than other fish and can live in the deep trenches. Here they are free of predators and the funnel shape of the trench means there’s much more food,” Thomas Linley of Newcastle University, co-author of the study, explains. “There are lots of invertebrate prey and the snailfish are the top predator. They are active and look very well-fed.” With milky, semi-transparent skin and a relatively featureless body, the Mariana snailfish is perfectly adapted for life where sunlight fails to reach. It is completely scaleless and uses its long tail to propel it through the water and it feeds on small crustaceans and other tiny prey. Upon studying a few of the specimens that were brought up from the deep, the researchers were able to declare the fish an entirely new species. Video recorded of the fish living at a depth of 26,686 feet below the surface is the confirmation scientists needed to declare it the deepest fish in the oceans.

  16. [continued] Many have defended bitcoin, however, dismissing suggestions of a looming crash. Leigh Travers, chief executive of Perth-based digital currency and blockchain advisory group DigitalX, put the long-term value of bitcoin on par with gold — or over $400,000 — while others are keen to prove its real-world usefulness. Brisbane-based start-up Living Room of Satoshi says Australians are already using bitcoin to pay $1 million worth of bills every week, and a growing number of properties are being offered up for sale in exchange for the currency. On Monday, a Cairns man put his massive 32 hectare property on the market for 100 bitcoin — nearly $1 million — while a $1.9 million Mount Macedon estate this week became the first Victorian property to join the crypto-craze. “Bitcoin is real money,” the vendor said in a written Q&A released by the real estate agent. “In fact, it’s better than most other monies. Bitcoin is deflationary which can be hard to spend because it is constantly rising in value.” “I will accept the [$1.9 million] at the time the property is settled. If the cost of bitcoin continues to rise then I will be getting less bitcoin. Because we already hold bitcoin, nothing could make me happier.” Alex, for his part, said if he “had the spare cash” he would consider getting back into bitcoin, which he believes is a “fantastic gold substitute for long-term storage of wealth” that also has many other useful applications. Earlier this year, he mined “a lot” of Ethereum, the now second most valuable cryptocurrency which has similarly soared in value. “One day, maybe Ethereum might restore what I lost with bitcoin,” he said. “I’ve invested in Ethereum, Ethereum Classic and a few other coins while they were still priced cheap. It’s been good. But some days it’s depressing to think of the thousands of bitcoins I lost because of stupidity.”
  17. Alex could have been a millionaire. In late 2009, when the digital cryptocurrency bitcoin was still in its infancy and a single PC could “mine” a few coins in a day, the self-described technology enthusiast “got into it just for fun” “In the tech community we didn’t think bitcoin would be that big,” said the Australian game developer, who asked not to use his real name because “if my wife knows I’m dead.” “It was just applying our PC hardware to a global network, something novel. In the early days of GPU [graphics processing unit] mining, a single card could mine quite a few coins per day.” As it progressed, the bitcoin program grew to gigabytes in size. “It kept on ballooning so eventually I deleted it [and] backed up the small encrypted wallet file to keep on my USB stick.” That “wallet” contained the unique cryptographic “keys” for thousands of bitcoins Alex had mined. “The thinking was that it’s offline, not on my PC, so in case something bad happened to the PC — [if] it blew up, or [was] hacked — I still had a backup,” he said. Around the end of 2013, when the bitcoin price peaked at just under $980, he suddenly remembered his wallet. “[i plugged] the USB stick back in to try and access the file, but the stick died. It was one of those cheap made-in-China ones,” he said. Today, as the current price smashes through a new milestone of $11,000, 1,000 bitcoins works out to more than $11 million. Alex puts his losses in the “thousands, plural.” “Worst mistake of my life,” he said. “Never back up anything on a cheap Chinese-made disk or USB stick.” Unfortunately, Alex’s story is not unique. As bitcoin mania reaches fever pitch, attention is turning to bitcoin’s missing billions. Of the more than 16.7 million bitcoins in circulation, nearly 4 million could be lost forever, according to new research from digital forensics firm Chainalysis. The research is based on a detailed empirical analysis of the blockchain — the “digital ledger” which records all bitcoin transactions, and which gives the currency its value. The study, reported by Fortune, concluded that between 2.78 million and 3.79 million bitcoins — 17 to 23 percent of existing supply — are lost, amounting to more than $30 billion. Long-term investors who mined coins in the early days — known as “hodlers” — own the vast majority of lost bitcoins, according to the analysis, which also assumed all of the one-million-plus “original” bitcoins belonging to its inventor “Satoshi Nakamoto” are lost forever. One big source of uncertainty is whether out-of-circulation coins in the hodler category are actually lost or just being hoarded. “It’s very easy to lose crypto,” said Martin Davidson, co-founder of Melbourne-based not-for-profitBlockchain Center and business development director at Blockchain Global. “Bitcoin is a predetermined currency issuance system, so there will only ever be 21 million bitcoins created up to the year 2140.” “It started in 2009 with the currency issuance of 50 bitcoins every 10 minutes, and every four years it goes down by half. It went down to 25, now we’re in the third phase where it is 12.5 bitcoins every 10 minutes.” “When bitcoins are produced, they have a private key associated with them. It works using key-pair cryptography — you have a public address and a private key that go together. The public address is what you use to send bitcoins, the private key is what you need to spend them.” “If you lose the private key, because of the mathematics involved and the strength of the cryptographic system, which is what makes it so safe, it’s impossible to ever get it back. What’s commonly happened is people have just deleted the file off their computer — the text document that holds the private key.” While many have made analogies with burning a $100 bill or losing a gold bar off the side of a pirate ship, Davidson agreed that the ease with which bitcoins can be accidentally lost forever at the press of a button — particularly given how valuable they now are — can make people uneasy. “Absolutely, that is one of the largest barriers to adoption,” he said. “What people need to understand is this technology was born out of the cipher-punk movement, using cryptography for people’s individual freedom and privacy for protection against the state.” “It was never designed to be user-friendly, but obviously now people are investing hundreds of billions of dollars into these systems that are still nascent with respect to the usability and design of the applications.” In order to keep their keys safe, some users literally print them out in what’s known as a paper wallet, but Davidson said the best option was a Trezor USB wallet, which retails for about $100. “They’re known as the best in the world, the most secure. They have firmware on the device designed to keep your private keys safe, they can store bitcoin, Ethereum, some other currencies.” Bitcoin’s exponential 1,000 percent rise this year has captured imaginations and led to warnings of a “bubble.” Its current market ccapitalization— the price multiplied by the number of bitcoins in circulation — is now nearly $169 billion, according to Coinmarketcap. On Tuesday, IG Markets chief strategist Chris Weston described the massive influx of retail investors getting into the cryptocurrency as a “mania” fuelled by press headlines and fear of missing out. It came as Mike Novogratz, trader with Fortress Investment Group, told an industry conference investors should brace for “wild crashes.” “This is going to become the biggest bubble of our lifetimes by a long shot,” he was reported as saying in The Post. Meanwhile, legendary investor Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard and pioneer of “passive investing” championed by the likes of Warren Buffett, also weighed in. “Avoid bitcoin like the plague,” he told a New York conference, according to Bloomberg. “Did I make myself clear?” “Bitcoin has no underlying rate of return. You know bonds have an interest coupon, stocks have earnings and dividends, gold has nothing. There is nothing to support bitcoin except the hope that you will sell it to someone for more than you paid for it.” The 88-year-old said it was “crazy” to invest in the currency. “Bitcoin may well go to $20,000 but that won’t prove I’m wrong,” he said. “When it gets back to $100, we’ll talk.” AMP Capital chief economist Dr Shane Oliver last week warned that “every generation gets sucked in” to an investing craze like bitcoin, which Japan Post Bank chief investment officer Katsunori Sago has described as “worse than the IT bubble” of the late ’90s.
