It seems like they have pushed an update to Titanfall 2. The only thing they changed, though, was a minor update to the conditions influencing the performance of the Mastiff.

Those who have been with my channel for a while remember that:

"the Mastiff's performance adjusts depending on the tides, the moon cycles, star alignments, your zodiac sign, what you had for breakfast this morning, whether or not a popular youtuber has said something racist today or not, and so on"

The only update pushed today was that last condition, where it has been changed from "whether or not a popular youtuber has said something racist today or not" to the more time-appropriate "whether or not a popular youtuber has severely abused their friends or coworkers in the last month or not".

I'm guessing the update was made to add a higher frequency element to the Mastiff's fluctuating performance, as the previous condition was starting to always return true.

Child Removal from Low-Income Romani Families Raises Severe Human Rights Concerns in Bulgarian Child Welfare System

Recent cases in Bulgaria have shed light on significant human rights issues within child welfare practices, particularly affecting vulnerable, low-income families, mainly of Romani origin. The European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC) and the Equal Opportunities Initiative are supporting two important legal proceedings representing two different families: the Marinov and Kovachev families. Both highlight crucial issues regarding family rights and potential injustices within Bulgaria's child protection system. The removal of children from their families by child protection services is deeply concerning—mainly when it is based on poverty alone and occurs without clear explanation, substantial justification, or properly informing the family. While this practice should aim to protect children, it frequently fails to address the root causes of family struggles, leading to discriminatory practices, human rights abuses, and unnecessary trauma for both children and parents.

Marinov Family

The Marinov family—parents Andrey and Ivanka and their four children—faced a challenging situation when the children were removed on the grounds of poverty and placed in a Family-Type Accommodation Centre (FTAC). Andrey recently applied for legal recognition of their guardianship of three of the children, while the youngest was already recognised at birth. On August 1, 2023, the eldest child returned to live with his grandfather without informing his parents, prompting them to seek help from the Second District Police Department in Sofia to locate their son.

On January 12, 2023, police found and detained the eldest child at a Home for Temporary Accommodation of Minors in Sofia. Andrey was informed that his four children would be transferred to back to the FTAC. Child Protection employees took the other three children from Ivanka, who claims she was misled—they told her the children would be taken to the Second Regional Police Department for pickup after an hour rather than informing her of their placement in the FTAC.

The parents filed a complaint with Sofia City's Administrative Court, and a child rights lawyer was hired to represent them. In April 2023, the lawyer discovered an administrative order placing the children in FTAC for 3 years and mandating the parents to attend sessions to improve their parenting skills. The lawyer raised concerns that bias regarding the family's ethnicity and economic status affected the officer’s decision on parental skills sessions after just a single home visit, concluding that the family’s living conditions were below the poverty line.

During this time, their eldest son reported instances of abuse and harassment at the FTAC, both towards himself and his siblings. On July 11, 2024, the Marinov family initiated legal actions with the Elin Pelin District Court to reintegrate the children into their family. Social Services supported the reintegration, and after open hearings on August 5, 2024, the court ruled in favour of the family on August 29, 2024. The lawyer's request for immediate execution was granted, paving the way for the family's reunion.

Kovachev Family

Aleksandar and Elena are young parents struggling to keep custody of their newborn son, Stefan. Despite Aleksandar’s willingness to care for his child and partner, authorities placed Stefan in a “Mother and Baby Unit,” effectively separating the family. Aleksandar encountered significant obstacles in obtaining legal recognition of his child, with authorities refusing to accept his declaration of paternity. The Shumen Social Service Directorate (SSD) cited concerns about his ability to provide the necessary living conditions and resources despite Aleksandar’s expressed intention to care for both mother and child. Social services employees allegedly threatened Aleksandar with imprisonment for his relationship with Elena.

An appeal against the SSD's order was filed, leading to ongoing court proceedings, and transferred to the Razgrad Administrative Court, where a hearing was held on June 12, 2024.

This case brings to light several societal and legal issues, including the rights of young parents, the welfare of children born to minors, and the balance between state intervention and family unity. Initially, the Razgrad Court decided against Aleksandar on June 26, 2024. The case is now pending appeal before the Supreme Administrative Court. The ERRC is exploring ways to escalate the case to the European Court of Human Rights.

Both cases highlight biases and discrimination in procedure, a lack of regard for family rights protection, and a focus on punishing racialised poverty often over the children's best interests within child welfare systems. They also shed light on the myriad pitfalls and barriers faced by Romani parents and their children as they navigate the child protection system.

The economic situation of a family alone does not affect parental abilities. These cases emphasise the urgent need for reform in child welfare practices to better align with human rights standards and the best interests of children and families. Only through such reforms can Bulgaria create a system that truly protects and supports its most vulnerable citizens, particularly low-income Romani families. The ERRC remains committed to advocating for families' rights and ensuring that legal processes effectively uphold these rights, regardless of racialised poverty.

The names of individuals and families were changed in this article to protect their anonymity.

capstone update #3

Hello, tumblr! I am finally back with my third update. At first I was waiting for something noteworthy to happen, but then a lot of things started happening all at once. I could have written this update two weeks ago, but I've been caught up. I have great news! I was able to get in touch with two local leaders who will allow me to interview them. One is Ernie Lau, Chief Engineer at the Board of Water Supply. You may have seen him on the news a couple of years ago; in 2022 he led the Walk for Wai protest march to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. He has also addressed the public many times with updates about Red Hill. Speaking to Ernie has been a big part of my idea for this project, so I'm really excited for this opportunity. The other interview is with Wayne Tanaka, the Chapter Director of the Sierra Club of Hawaiʻi. (If you are unaware, the Sierra Club is an organization focused on protecting and preserving the natural environment.) Prior to his position at the Sierra Club, he served in the Public Policy Program at OHA, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts on Red Hill and our environment. Also hoping he might have an opinion to share about the US Military's involvement here. Another thing I did was receive my first batch of ʻUluʻulu titles (archival videos) and watch them! The first set was about 3 or 3.5 hours worth of footage. Some of it was produced, but most were production materials -- unedited recordings. I took detailed notes of what I saw, with timestamps, in order to keep everything straight. Part of the process is submitting timestamps of clips I'm interested in using in my doc. Then I send those to the archivist (shoutout to Trisha!!! <3) who does some paperwork and sends in a request to the materials' owners. (She undoubtedly does a lot more that I am unaware of.) It's been tough to find a good workflow for this process, because:

1) in order to view full-length files, I must first request links where the titles can be streamed to me

2) since I don't have a downloaded copy of it, I am unable to drop it into Premiere and begin working with it/ placing markers on it

3) ^this is my usual workflow for working with footage and building it into something, so it's been a learning process

4) the ʻUluʻulu player does not support changing the speed of playback

5) it takes time to get approved to use clips, and longer if you want to request "screeners," full-length files that are downloadable

6) you never know if your request will be approved until it happens, so you could be putting a lot of time and energy into something that won't pan out. (It's a gamble, which can be disheartening)

...#6, I learned that the hard way recently. Since I waited so long between posts, let me save that for next time. Oh yeah, I will have to tell you about the FTAC meeting, too. For now, I'll keep working through the second batch of archival videos I requested. My doc's structure is still not settled yet, but it's slowly solidifying with each new ʻUluʻulu video I see.

Hindi ako makaregister sa mobile banking ng Maybank. Invalid daw ang FTAC ko, na tinext nila sa akin.

Syempre wala akong telepono kaya inemail ko na lang sila. Ang opening line ko e, wala akong telepono kaya ako nag-email. Pero ang sagot nila e tawagan ko ang customer service.

'Di ba pwede puntahan ko na lang sa branch? Haha. Ang inoffer lang na solusyon e tumawag sa landline. Ok gets, 'yun 'yung proseso nyo, pero kakasabi ko lang na wala akong telepono. Anong gusto nyo, gumastos ako ng 7.50/minute?

Charot. Wala naman magagawa. Wait na lang din natin 'yung atm ideliver. 25 banking days daw eh.

if you don't mind could you share what sniper rifle and/or attachments you use? specifically from this video idk if you've changed your loadout or not

The sniper rifle I use in every one of my vids (like this one) is the Victus XMR with the Basileus Pro-Tuned advantage build:

Optic - Corio SZ-HS 800

Stock - FTAC Homeland

Muzzle - SA Shroud Flash Hider

Underbarrel - XTEN Stable Shot

Ammunition - .50 cal High Velocity

I should note that I prefer using a thermal scope, which the vast majority of CoD players hate, and for good reason: The scope sometimes doesn't "register" targets quick enough so they don't appear white in your scope, but just as grey as the environment. When someone throws an explosive or a smoke bomb etc. your whole scope will turn white and you can't see jack.

Also: Just bc this build works for me doesn't mean it'll work for you. The fire rate is incredibly slow and the mag's got an overall capacity of five bullets, there's no flinch resistance and it's rather heavy gun so you'll be slow to move around. It's loud af too; you shoot once and the whole map knows where you are lol.

This build requires a lot of practice and good aim.

Edit: I'm not sure anyone who didn't buy the Vault Version of CoD MW2 will be able to use the Basileus build; I think it was an exclusive part of the Vault Version, tho I'm not too sure.

Fold Inc Set to Launch $500M IPO via SPAC Union

Key Points

Bitcoin reward firm Fold Inc is nearing a SPAC merger that could raise its value to $500 million.

The move is part of a larger trend of crypto companies going public, reflecting mainstream acceptance of digital currencies.

Bitcoin reward company, Fold Inc, is on the brink of completing a deal that could see it go public via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). This merger could potentially increase Fold’s value to approximately $500 million.

The deal is being conducted in conjunction with FTAC Emerald Acquisition Corp, led by Betsy Cohen. While an official announcement is expected this week, the specifics of the deal remain confidential.

Background of Fold Inc

Established in 2014, Fold Inc offers features that enable users to earn Bitcoin rewards through purchases made using their debit cards, a concept similar to cash-back programs on traditional credit cards. The company has successfully garnered the interest of individuals intrigued by this reward system, amassing approximately 574,000 user accounts.

This merger is part of a larger trend of cryptocurrency firms turning towards public offerings, a move that follows the recovery of the crypto market from a recent slump. Other leading companies planning to go public include Bitcoin mining firm Genesis Digital Assets and Northern Data AG, a provider of artificial intelligence computing services.

Implications of the Merger

The merger involving Fold Inc suggests an increasing interest from traditional businesses in the crypto industry, signaling the growing adoption of digital currency. It also highlights the ongoing demand for integrating cryptocurrency into daily transactions.

The merger is a result of the growth in crypto startup funding, with the valuation of crypto startups reaching $2.4 billion in Q1 2024. This can be attributed to lower interest rates and the introduction of the first US Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by the US Securities Exchange Commission has enhanced the acceptance of cryptocurrencies as assets. This could potentially integrate digital currency into the mainstream financial ecosystem. However, the SPAC market has previously slowed, with many deals failing or stocks plummeting post-merger.

Challenges with SPAC Deals

SPAC reached its peak in 2021 but has significantly declined since then, with many deals either not materializing or leading to a substantial decrease in stock prices after the merger. In 2021, SPAC mergers in the US rose to roughly $128 billion, but this figure fell to a mere $9.5 billion in announced deals the following year.

Despite the challenges SPAC has faced in the past, a potential merger for Fold Inc could mark a significant milestone for the crypto industry. It would indicate that cryptocurrencies are gaining more acceptance, and the path to more transparent regulation is nearing.

As more information about the deal is revealed, the crypto community will be keen to see how it could influence the crypto sector and potentially encourage other large institutions and countries to adopt cryptocurrency.

The U.S. government is developing a comprehensive crypto strategy, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is seeking public input. This Research and Development (R&D) Agenda is being formulated by an interagency Financial Technology Advisory Committee (FTAC), chaired by OSTP and the National Science Foundation under the NITRD Subcommittee.

In a January 26 RFI posted in the Federal Register, OSTP invites individuals and groups to submit comments of up to 10 pages by March 23. This initiative follows the September release of the “first-ever” Comprehensive Framework for Responsible Development of Digital Assets, stemming from President Trump's executive order, “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets,” issued in March.

The RFI aims to shape a whole-of-government approach to digital assets and distributed ledger technologies, aiming to kickstart fundamental research and support translating technological breakthroughs into market-ready products. OSTP seeks feedback on blockchain technology, digital assets, and their potential applications.

The RFI highlights the importance of responses that inform Federal R&D priorities related to digital assets, including initiatives that complement the Federal Reserve’s research on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Respondents are encouraged to explain how their R&D suggestions could advance policy priorities or recommendations. This request marks a significant government effort to engage the public on crypto-related topics.
