Not all heros wear capes

Blade of the Immortal (2017) 8/10 This whole movie was in Japanese and I can barely speak English. It was 3 hours of stunning visuals and a properly structured storyline, basically, Manji, a samurai cursed with immortality is asked by a young woman, Rin, to avenge the death of her father at the hands of the renegade ronin group, the Itto-ryu. Rin eerily resembles Machi, the disturbed figure whom Manji had witnessed being brutally butchered 50 years before. I want them to release a follow-up movie exploring the origins of Yaobikuni and how the bloodworms were discovered.

As described in the title... What is the last movie you saw and what rating would you give it?

I never imagined I would ever eat a wrap without meat inside.

First vegetarian food, actually not bad at all. No meat, can you imagine that. A meatless wrap.

Just like most of you I have what seems to be tons of logins for different exchanges since I started investing in crypto. Most of those offer 2FA for which I personally choose Google Authenticator, BUT if there was an option to use Civic I would certainly do so. Vinny if you are reading this, I know you guys are working on this https://prism.exchange/login but it would also be amazing if other exchanges could use your service as well.

So this is going to be interesting, I read long ago that one should try and eat according to one's blood type (Felt pretty gimmicky then and still does now), but it's almost 2018 and I need a new years resolution so starting from today I am now apparently a vegetarian according to my Type A blood group. As a meat lover, this is going to be a challenge of note. I guess this thread will be me documenting what life is like as a meat-loving vegetarian. I have a few questions: #1 Do any of you eat according to your blood type or have you followed the blood type diet? #2 Any other meat lovers here? #3 What Blood Type are you? Some info on the various blood groups: Type O blood: A high-protein diet heavy on lean meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, and light on grains, beans, and dairy. Type A blood: A meat-free diet based on fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains -- ideally, organic and fresh. Type B blood: Avoid corn, wheat, buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Chicken is also problematic. Instead focus on eating green vegetables, eggs, certain meats, and low-fat dairy. Type AB blood: Foods to focus on include tofu, seafood, dairy, and green vegetables. People with type AB blood tend to have low stomach acid. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoked or cured meats.

I've spent far too much. I should have put this into some ETFs

I did not even know we allowed blob kind of character storage. Go PW! {Fanstastic post BitcoinZar, as per usual)

I really hope this stock moves in 2018, so far I am still positive.

What is up with that @Werner - I smell a fish.

Ripple CEO: First a clarification on the question: Ripple is a private, cash flow positive company and we don’t have any plans to raise additional capital (and no offense, but if we did, we’d only raise capital from institutional investors!). However, you can certainly buy XRP - the native digital asset to the XRP ledger. As a general rule I try not to give investment advice, but I’m happy to give a summary of what drives Ripple’s and XRP’s value. Ripple is focused on enabling a global network of financial institutions to use our software to create what we call the the Internet of Value. Our goal is to lower the marginal cost of international payments to the point where money can move as easily as information does today. As the network grows and adoption of Ripple’s products increases, the value of Ripple should grow as well. XRP is a digital asset that exists on the XRP ledger, one of the open-source products created by Ripple. XRP is a pivotal component of the Internet of Value since it solves a key point of friction, the pre-funding of nostro/vostro accounts necessary to facilitate cross border payments. As this occurs, the demand for XRP will increase and markets will reflect that. I hope it goes without saying that I’m incredibly pleased by the progress we have made to date - with a broad group of global FI customers. And there are powerful network effects that we have seen accelerating that momentum

Much debate surrounds the topic of whether or not a holiday home is a viable investment, especially when you consider the costs involved in maintaining and managing a second property. With any property purchase, the potential for a successful return on investment is largely attributed to the research done beforehand and how the investment is viewed by the buyer. Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, Adrian Goslett, says a holiday home purchase can be one of the best investments that a buyer can make, provided they have a long-term view on the purchase of such property. “If the correct decisions are made from the onset, and the necessary property investment principles are adhered to, buying a second property can be a platform on which to build wealth. The investor should see the property as a vehicle to put money aside for their retirement, rather than leaving that money in a bank account,” says Goslett. “A large number of investors want to purchase homes situated in coastal areas with the view that they will retire there in their golden years. If the investors purchase the property early enough, by the time they reach retirement age, they will have a fully paid-off home to which they can retire.” An added advantage is that before they retire the owner of the property will have full use of the home and a place to take their family to over holiday periods. “People who live inland often retire to the coast away from their family and support network. Owning a coastal property that they frequent often affords the investor the opportunity to establish friendships and build a network in the area in which they decide to retire. This makes the process of retiring and moving to a new home far less stressful,” says Goslett. He notes that over the years the property will appreciate in value and the investor will be able to sell their primary residence to get the cash flow that they will require to sustain themselves. While there are several benefits to owning a coastal home, it is not without its challenges, such as the fact that coastal properties generally require more maintenance than inland homes. “Coastal properties are exposed to harsher weather conditions due to the climate in coastal regions and the home’s proximity to the sea. The result is that coastal properties often require more frequent upkeep than inland homes. Investors considering freehold property should opt for modern, recently-built homes to reduce the maintenance costs from the onset,” advises Goslett. “Sectional title units require less maintenance on the investor’s part because the body corporate will be responsible for maintaining the building’s exterior and all the common areas within the complex.” Distance can also be a challenge for most investors who live far away from their coastal property. It is sometimes difficult to gauge the market and how the area is developing, as well as dealing with any possible maintenance issues that could arise. “A property management agent will be able to take care of the management of the property, offer advice on the investment and keep the investor informed of any trends that might be occurring in the area. Working with a real estate professional will keep the investor focused on the facts and not be driven to make any investment decision based on emotions,” says Goslett. Here are a few factors that investors should pay attention to as they can influence demand and potential appreciation in value over time: • For the most part, properties with ocean views are highly sought after and hold their value. • Homes that are within proximity to the beach generally regarded as a sound investment. • There is a quicker turnaround time on coastal properties that are close to amenities such as schools, medical facilities, and shopping centers. • Security is a driving force behind property buying decisions, so opt for an area with an active Policing Forum. • Consider whether the property will be popular among holidaymakers so that it can be let out should the need arise. • Low-maintenance properties are sought after among holiday-home investors. “Buying a coastal property can be a viable investment option, provided the decision is given the due diligence it deserves. Getting as much information as possible from reliable resources will help the investor to make an informed and profitable decision,” says Goslett.
