OUAT 4X06 - Family Business
After spending ten minutes trying to make a pun for this one, I don’t SNOW if I can do it!
...Well, there you go!
Review’s under the cut!
Main Takeaways
Past
I’m torn between disliking and liking the writing choice to have Anna doubt Ingrid so fiercely. On one level, I sort of get it. After being betrayed by Hans (And more recently, Rumple), Anna’s become a bit less trusting. That’s good character development. However, to have Anna be untrusting to this degree is just a little too far fetched for me. I think had Anna wanted to accept her and been more outright friendly, but was too curious to settle for Ingrid’s non answers, the story would’ve been a bit more palatable for me.
So, as far as Belle goes, I’m kind of inclined to treat this episode in a way as a precursor to Belle’s attitude later in life, kind of like“Best Laid Plans.” Just like how Snowing dedicated themselves to being the best people they could be after their horrible sin, Belle does the same thing through a combination of seeing Anna be taken and learning the truth behind her mother’s death. That also having been said, I feel like had they stated that the stone of memories was a one-off item, I wouldn’t be so frustrated with Belle because why not just get another stone after saving Anna?
That also having been said, I get that it didn’t matter. What mattered in this segment was that Belle’s selfishness fucked over someone and the point of this episode was to realize that and show that she’s grown from it. And that is the important part of the episode and it was delivered well. What I pointed out were smaller narrative crumbles that don’t amount to absolutely nothing, but are ultimately less important than the delivery of the theme.
Present
I can talk about a lot of aspects of this episode (And I will), but let’s be real here: The big part of this episode really comes down to a singular moment. While most of this episode is pretty clearly framed otherwise, so much so that I wonder just how much can write about, this moment’s where shit gets complicated and messy. That, of course, is Belle’s use of the “dagger” to make Rumple take her to the Snow Queen’s fortress.
Let’s break my thoughts on this down a bit.
It’s...a complicated situation. I’m sympathetic to Belle in the sense that she’s trying to stop The Snow Queen and making a hard choice like that is something she sees as just something that has to be done. Additionally, the mirror scene establishes that Belle might have doubts about the validity of the dagger, so there might have been a part of her doubting that it would work. I also get that this was Belle’s weakest moment and thus, it’s something she doesn’t want relayed.
That having been said, this episode frames Belle’s motivation as wanting to keep a secret. That’s the reason why she doesn’t relay her information to Emma and Elsa. And for a secret that is so relatively small in the grand scheme of not only the scope of the universe, but what villains have been forgiven for around in these parts, I find it rather weak and makes for a stark contrast to her attitude of just shutting up from the present scenes prior It’s brought on by a sad conversation with Elsa and Belle finds it more appropriate to use the dagger on her husband than just simply tell the truth, a moment that when finally comes to pass, isn’t given any gravitas, meaning that Belle keeping that secret wasn’t that big of a deal. It’d be one thing if Elsa was so mad that she froze Belle or shut her out or something like that, but she doesn’t, making the reason Belle wants to hold out telling the truth fall flat.
I also almost wish this moment had come earlier in the season, maybe before “The Apprentice” because that look of fear on Rumple’s face when he realized that his own wife is using the dagger to control him would’ve been a hella effective point in showing why Rumple feels like he needs to go to the extreme of putting people in a magic hat to ensure that he never has to be controlled again. That said, it does work here, albeit not as effectively.
I do think that the framing of this moment works. Ignoring the motivation behind it, Belle is shown as going too far by using the dagger, BUT the more complicated nature of the dagger being as real as a $3 bill isn’t ignored by the narrative either.
Okay, now that that’s done, let’s move on.
The mirror scene is a really chilling look into Belle’s psyche. Not only is there a great display of Belle’s insecurities on display in this scene, but it truly sets up the mirror as a genuine threat. Belle is one of the purest characters in the show, second to probably only Ariel at this point. And yet the mirror is able to pull at the weaknesses she doesn’t possess as easily as loose Jenga pieces. Within a minute, she feels helpless.
I also really like the way Rumple is presented here! He’s at once a villain and a victim in a way and the balancing of that was well done!
Stream of Consciousness
-I like the costume Belle has in the first bit of her flashback. It does a really good job of painting her youth and naivete.
-I love how literally every piece of Belle’s wardrobe and decorations in her room are Beauty and the Beast colors!!! Dude, if she wasn’t the actual Belle, I’d accuse her of being the biggest fangirl in the world! XD
-Really, Rumple? Belle doesn’t know about the hidden safe by this point?
-”Before we open.” So I guess that library scene really didn’t carry over in any capacity. That’s a shame.
-I absolutely LOVE the zoom out shot as everyone takes in the Snow Queen video tape! All eight of the mains are in the shot as well as Elsa! And everyone is so serious, even the woman in the blue sparkly dress! I know it’s been said 1,000 times, but it’s totally CSI Storybrooke up in this bitch! XD
-Belle, you are amazing at tracking! And you dig any chance to be a hero! Why the fuck are you willingly stepping down?! XD
-Why does everyone diss books?! And if you’re gonna diss the book, maybe take the book? Like, I don’t want Maurice to take the book, but if he’s gonna go to the trouble of being a douche nozzle, at least go all the way.
-I feel the need to ask if Ingrid has employees at “Any Given Sundae.” Does she just switch off between driving the truck and running the shop? Did she ever have an intern? XD
-”Was she afraid someone was gonna steal the rocky road?” You’re three episodes off, Emma.
-Ice powers are the world’s most dangerous mood rings! XD
-”Do you really think she would’ve discovered that if I didn’t want her to?” And what part did you have to play in Emma discovering that evidence? Like, every piece of evidence Emma has uncovered has been by total coincidence! The video, the truck? Both of those were spur of the moment decisions!
-I feel like mirror Belle is what would happen if Lacey had Belle’s memories.
-Ummm, if that was the real dagger, would that slash have killed Rumple or would it kind of be like what happened with Dark Hook where only the lethal cuts matter? But then again, that was close to the throat.
-Belle, where the hell did that gorgeous ass coat come from? Because holy hell, I LOVE it!
-Okay, am I the only one who feels like Maurice had some personal experience with Rumple prior to Belle’s summoning?
-”Spend a little more time in this town love, and you’ll realize that just about everyone’s related.” This is true and I LOVE it! XD
Favorite Dynamic
Regina and Robin. I really like Regina’s scene with Robin in the forest. Lana perfectly shows Regina’s frustration at having tried every possible approach to waking Marian and failing at it as well as this sense of resignation about what she has to tell him. It’s a fantastic moment in how it’s performed and written. Regina’s in her best form by being blunt, but not unsympathetic: If Robin wants to save Marian, he has to fall in love with her again, no if’s, and’s, or but’s. You can tell that this is the last thing she wants to say, but she knows it’s the truth. It’s a really good display of her growth as a character. Something very difficult for her to do and the truth isn’t pretty, but she’s delivering it anyway, even at her own expense. The added bits of snark additionally really help it too by giving the scene a bit of levity and gives the dialogue a bit of that Regina fierceness.
Writer
Kalinda Vazquez comes in for her second episode in a row, a first for a writer for this series outside of A&E! Alongside her is Andrew Chambliss. I gotta say, it’s nice not having a newbie this episode. While there are some character issues, I think the episode works more than it doesn’t due to the more complicated nature of the present segment’s story and the fact that the framing is spot on.
Rating
8/10. I think there are a fair amount of good elements to this episode. The delivery of the themes is solid and that is the ultimate make or break piece of an episode like this. Additionally, the framing of this story was hard, but successful.

Entry August 4 2021
I don’t even know where to start with this one. I’m listening to a song that puts me back into a time two years ago during the winter exam season when my parents went on vacation and my lab PI was expecting the absolute most out of me. And yet I still had a multitude of other club responsibilities in addition to classes. At the time I knew I had to practically give up any sense and reason of social or rec activities and just work. I remember it was such a dark time because I had no weay of getting out except to keep working just to barely get by. I’m actually going through my “gratitude” notebook that I barely even used. I made a couple of pages but it really did help. The goal with it was to write something that I was grateful for at least once or twice a week. I had read in various places on the internet that one of the biggest correlations in prediction happiness was simply one’s gratitude, so I gave it a shot. I feel like it helped at the time but only because it forced me to step away from all the work and to give time to myself and to think about anything I wanted to. Thankfully it was only positive thoughts as well.
Five days ago I asked HK out through the most convoluted plan possible. I was at a barbecue with friends from highschool the week prior on June 24, which lasted the entire day and night. I was really happy to see MC doing well, since he had a very rough patch at the beginning of uni. And then I lost touch with him for most of uni after second year. I don’t remember how the topic came up but the boys found out that I couldn’t exactly talk to any new girls since I was already talking to someone, and they just had to know the details. I really tried to reveal as little as possible, but one of my closest high school best friends that I kept in touch with throughout all of uni, SH, punched me on the shoulder and told me that I needed to ask her out. I was trying to explain that I was GONNA DO IT EVENTUALLY ANYWAY but I was getting extremely pressured to do it literally the next time I see K. …So I sort of did, except the Monday afterwards was only a short visit in Brampton. I looked at which day had the best weather, which was conveniently the Friday, which I also had nothing to do the whole day except workout in the morning with T at his condo. After the barbecue on Saturday, I woke up on Sunday already trying to figure out plans. I was talking to K and I originally planned to ask her out at High Park, since I guess it would be cool if High Park is where we first met (in person) then it would be cute if that’s also where I asked her out. The day prior to the highschool friends barbecue, I was visiting friends of my VSA on June 23, and we were playing a card game “The And”. It consists of prompts on each card that are designed to help the players get to know each other better. Considering that VSA members are always required to be able to discuss heavy topics due to our focus on inclusion, mental health, and generational obstacles faced as second generation Vietnamese Canadians, it was really fun for all of us. I enjoyed it. Answering these questions also came so naturally to me. I still remember MY perspective of playing whatever that whiteboard game is called with K while I was on edibles and I feel like half the game was just me looking like a doofus and neither of us were saying anything. K would obviously describe her perspective of that night differently haha. But since The And was so fun I figured it would be such a great way for me to actually help K get to know me better since I realized these questions came to me really naturally to answer.
…So that was Friday night, when I decided to borrow the card game.
And then it was on Saturday, that I was pressured into and deciding to ask K out.
Then it was on Sunday when my doltish plan simply clicked into place. Since I know that I can cram up, my plan was to ask her out by surprise while playing The And. I realized that the game had (only a few) wild cards, where you could ask any question you want. I thought this was amazing. My picture was us sitting on a hill at highpark with K’s trusty picnic blanket from Indigo, and we’d be playing the game after Chako. And then when she least expects it, when the game is almost over and I have the last wild card, instead of asking something not-deep like the previous wild cards (that would have/should have been played) I would just be like “do you wanna go out as my girlfriend” and that would be that. HOWEVER. The plan quickly evolved into something even better, and the night turned out even more amazing that I could have even thought.
I was on Instagram and I scrolled past an ad for Terra Lumina which I direly wanted to go to three years ago, but since I didn’t have anyone to go with or didn’t know who I’d ask to go on something like that with me I never ended up seeing it. I mentioned it to K and she said that she’s interested in seeing it too. That made me really happy inside. I asked if she would want to go on Friday as well, in addition to our other plans and we agreed to it. To make the travel easier for us we moved our plans from High Park to Scarborough Bluffs, which is also amazing because we’ve been meaning to go the Bluffs for a while now as well. I kept going through the itinerary because I wanted to make sure everything would go to plan, and that we’d have enough time for everything before Terra Lumina. We agreed together to arrive to the Bluffs and bike/hike around the trails in the morning, and then eat a packed lunch and snacks. I brought condensed milk and hot water in a thermos because I was surprised to hear that she’s never mixed the two and drank it before. I’ve always done it as a kid so I thought it was normal. I asked some friends later about it and they said they’ve seen or heard about it too. She thought it was good, but not that good I guess because we were drinking it with cottage cheese, salsa, and chips. Since she was used to soy milk it was a bit underwhelming in terms of taste and it was mostly just sweet-tasting. Which, really that’s all it is haha and that’s why I like it. Anyway, the plan after the hiking and biking was for us to take a nap and in my head the nap would have been somewhere under a tree or in the car but we ended up trying to have my nap at the beach. It ended up not going so great because the sun was directly above us, and we didn’t have much to cover us from the sun. The umbrella wasn’t able to block the sun and sand for some reason kept blowing onto us. I guess it was a windy day. Either way, let’s just say the nap was a bit of a failure and I ended up just laying there while I got sand everywhere.
After the attempted nap we went back to the car to get our swimming gear and headed back to the beach, with pool noodles! She brought four of them because they were supplies for her mirror frame. Since I couldn’t float, she placed noodles under my leg, back, and neck, and floated me around in the water. It was pretty fun, although the water getting in my ears and occasionally my mouth would momentarily break up my zen moments. We dropped off the noodles with our beach stuff and walked around in the water. The water started feeling cold to us so we couldn’t really swim around as much. I must say though, the water at scarborough bluffs is really clean for a beach. I also gave her a piggyback for a little bit to zero-gravity K. When we went back to our stuff we noticed all our pool noodles flew away, and we could only find three of the four. We walked around to see if it was nearby but we eventually gave up looking for it. We brought all our stuff back to the car and I guess once we left the water another wave of sleepiness was hitting me and I was ready to nap on the ground, so we ended up going to the park area at one of the peninsulas. K brought her surface and my USB stick and watched some episodes of Demon Slayer while I napped. The most vivid memory of my napping is some weird honking noise, since it kept playing while I was dreaming as well. Though, I don’t even remember what I was dreaming about. They were short naps. I basically slept during the episodes that K watched. I think she only watched two episodes.
When I woke up after the second nap I realized we were a bit late from our plan to get to Chako by 5, since I think it was already 5:30, so we’d get to Chako by about 6. When we arrived, I was a little concerned and shocked to find out that there would be an hour wait until we could get a table inside. There would have been little time for us to play after Chako’s so K suggested we play while we wait. We also walked into the Home Depot Gardening section and I found out K likes “different looking plants”. Still not sure what her criteria are that would make her like a plant or not though lol. We played The And, and when I first opened the box I was frantically going through the cards to make sure we wouldn’t go through the wild cards because I reallyyy wasn’t trying to waste them in the parking lot. After about twenty minutes of playing we received a call from Chako’s, finding out that there was a table available. They asked if sitting outside was okay and immediately I know that was A SCAM and I suggested K to ask if there were inside seats, and they said that there would be one available if we waited an extra five minutes. Eventually when we were seated inside. I started to get desparate though because if I couldn’t ask her out before Chako’s, when am I going to do it? Right after we finish eating we’re going to have to head to Terra Lumina. I was thinking maybe we play in the car after we eat. I even suggested we bring the cards with us into Chako’s in case we’d somehow get the opportunity to play while we eat. ..And that definitely didn’t happen because cooking and eating took up all our time. I was very full. Also the bill was so expensive. Chako’s used to be much more affordable I’m pretty sure… we basically paid premium Gyubee prices so that was a bit regretful. I’m glad I was able to have Kelen experience the AYCE Korean Barbacue experience though, even though I wouldn’t recommend it again for those prices haha. I practically grew up in highschool with my close friends going to Chako’s so it was such a nice feeling to share this experience with K. I was really excited for that.
After we ate, we headed back to the car and headed straight to the Toronto Zoo. It was dark by then, and we were met with winding roads at night. There were parts of the drive where the bridge was only wide enough for one lane of cars, and there were stop lights on both sides. When we arrived, we accidentally took the wrong right turn at zoo Rd. which we later realized was the exit of Zoo Rd. When we eventually found the correct ramp to get onto Zoo Rd., which was also a right turn…. K suggested we bring The And with us, in case we found time to play. I quite literally have no clue how I was going to ask K out if she didn’t bring those cards with us. Throughout the exhibit, we would bring the cards to the light and ask each other questions as we enjoyed the exhibits. I noticed her hands were a little cold. She brought a hoodie but was still in shorts. I hope she wasn’t feeling cold.
The entire exhibit, I was a) trying to figure out how many wild cards could be in the deck and how much time we had, and b) rehearsing the same damn question over and over again. K took a small deck of cards earlier and when she finished them I asked if I could take the box so I could take a pile, since I knew where the discard cards were. That was a lie because we ended up playing a bunch of cards we already played earlier in the parking lot haha. But I got ahold of the box so I could strategically place four wild cards into a large stack of cards that we could go through, and leave the rest in the box, in her purse. The plan again was to prime K into recognizing the wild cards and getting used to me asking questions on the wild cards. But every time a wild card came up, I would watch her immediately skip it without even a second thought. And worst part is that it was always her turn with the wild cards!!!! At the back of my mind I was severely starting to feel the sweat and massive desperation. Meanwhile, there were parts of Terra Lumina that I felt were just absolutely beautiful. Many of the light exhibits were incorporated into the actual Zoo exhibits. The way they incorporated lights into the trees and paths was also just stunning, with the music as well. I felt walking doing many of the paths was a little romantic with K as well. Not that romantic though because I was mostly freaking out of my mind that my plan is literally about to fail. I figured the exhibit was almost over so I had to make some sort of move soon.
On the next wild card she pulled, it was actually my turn. AND YET SHE HAD THE AUDACITY TO NEARLY SKIP IT AGAIN. I went straight for the card, grabbed it, and said that I’ll think of a question. I just held on to it though. The moment I had my hands on the card, I realized in that moment that the time that I was waiting all week for, had finally come. The moment that I was frantically trying to get to during all of Terra Lumina. I couldn’t say it. Do I say it while we’re walking? Are people going to hear us? Is this the right time? I really couldn’t. We ended up finishing the exhibit and we went to the washroom. At that point I was again feeling frantic, but for a completely different reason. I was still cramming up. I have this habit of pacing when I need to think, and we quite literally walked back and forth at least twice in the lobby of the Toronto zoo, until I decided that walking was the complete opposite of what I needed to do. So I suggested we sit down at a bench.
We sat a bench far from the main entrance and traffic of people exiting the zoo. Kelen went on top of my lap, and I held her close as I tried as hard as I could to just clear my head. At this point, she knew exactly what was coming. I asked her if she knew how I felt when we first matched on Tinder. I mentioned that I thought it was so odd how all of this started, after a 6AM morning conversation. I saved the sappy talk though and kept it to a minimum, and then eventually I just took a deep breath
I forget the exact words I used.
I asked her out, and she said yes. She gave a small forehead kiss, and I would have turned towards her but we both still had our masks on so I felt that would’ve been a little unproductive. I was holding her tight as we sat there a little longer until we saw a skunk run by and realized that sitting there was the exact opposite we needed to do, so we left and went back to the car. We drove home afterwards. All the tension was gone as well, after.
That god damn wild card.

The crypto whale who wants to give billions away – Cointelegraph Magazine
Like many people in the cryptocurrency industry, Sam Bankman-Fried is in it for the money. As founder of the quantum trading company Alameda Research, the FTX exchange and the DeFi serum protocol, the 28-year-old man with curly hair has amassed a $10 billion fortune in the sector in just three years.
Unlike most people in the cryptocurrency industry, he’s building a fortune to give half of it away. He is an effective altruist who essentially steals from the rich to give to the poor through his supernatural, coded trading strategies.
Maybe without the robbery, he says. Ultimately, my goal is to have as much impact as possible, whatever that may be. And right now, I think, it’s through donations, so I’m wondering how I can do as much as I can and give as much as I can.
The SBF, as it is sometimes called, has been around for some time. He was director of development for the Center for Effective Altruism for a few months in 2017, and before that he spent half his income working on Wall Street. He plans to donate about 50% of his crypto billions, but only after he reinvests in his ever-growing empire.
Nevertheless, he donates to charities as they arise. He was the second-largest contributor to President Joe Biden’s campaign, behind former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who contributed $5.2 million.
I was excited about the impact this could have. I thought what happened in the election was important.
In addition, the FTX Foundation has recently been established. It donates 1% of the cost of the platform and will double user donations, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000 per day. In its first weeks of operation, the foundation has raised more than $2 million, mostly in the form of donations from users, who can choose from a carefully curated list of charitable organizations.
Old pouffe
SBF’s growing notoriety was further enhanced when the company was included in this year’s Forbes 30 Under 30 financial list. I’m honored, he says. I usually look forward more than backward, so it was a little cool, but it went pretty fast.
It also ranked third in a recent Top 100 ranking.
He has been known to sleep on an ottoman chair in his Hong Kong office so as not to miss a deal. It seems that the main reason SBF earns more than anyone else is that it is almost never off-schedule.
I’m in the office, mostly 24 hours a day. Sometimes I just take a nap on the ottoman here and of course I talk to colleagues and sometimes people on the internet, but it’s mostly his job.
He has no girlfriend and doesn’t have many contacts outside of work, although he does find time to talk to his family in the United States on the phone several times a week. It’s safe to say that FBS’ers aren’t the kind of people who are desperate for a perfect work-life balance, or even accept that their productivity declines after the first 11 hours of work.
I think these kinds of stories are vastly overrated, and the cruel or inspiring truth, depending on how you think about it, is that the more you put in, the more you get out, he says. That motivates me, and that’s satisfying, but you know, another part of it is how I think I can have the biggest impact.
How did I get here?
The child of two law professors at Stanford University, SBF discovered the Effective Altruism movement while studying physics at MIT.
Made popular by philosophers and ethicists including Toby Ord and Peter Singer, the movement focuses on pragmatic ways of helping others, using science and reason to maximize benefits rather than the well-intentioned and mediocre results typical of some charities. This practical approach also extends to how best to help a person.
Imagine how much good you can do by working directly for a cause, compared to what you can do by working and donating to Wall Street. In many cases, you could probably help them even more with donations. So, basically, I checked out Wall Street.
Fellow interns at quant trading firm Jane Street Capital pointed him in the direction of Wall Street, and he began working there just after graduating from college in 2014. Why did they hire a physicist with little experience in finance straight out of school, you ask?
It turns out that strategies for quantum trading are valuable trade secrets, which means that effective strategies are not taught in university courses. Instead, companies hire people with raw talent: Mathematicians or people with extensive experience in physics or computer science.
What you need to know about the markets, they will teach you, he says. He has traded various ETFs, futures, currencies and stocks and has developed an automated OTC trading system. There, he became interested in the incredibly profitable arbitrage opportunities in inefficient crypto markets and founded the crypto-quantum trading company Alameda Research in late 2017 to take advantage of them.
Rules applicable to all whales
Alameda Research has grown into one of the largest crypto firms with about $2.5 billion in assets under management, although as with its own assets, SBF puts this into perspective with some caveats about liquid and illiquid assets.
Alameda is the Moby Dick of cryptocurrences, representing up to 10% of cryptocurrences circulating in the markets at any given time. I think sometimes he can get to that part of the volume, he says. I think the average is a little lower. It belongs to the group of five to ten large commercial companies in this sector.
This means that every Alameda transaction has the potential to move the markets and generate liquidity. Last October, Alameda was widely accused of having caused the IFJ’s share price collapse by short selling, although SBF minimized the impact of this practice. He believes that with great power comes great responsibility.
It’s an absolute responsibility, he says, adding that he tries to follow the approach of TradFi Quant’s companies. Their job is to find profitable companies, but also to provide liquidity and promote healthy markets, he says. The greatest responsibility is to do no harm. And to ensure that what you do generally promotes, rather than disrupts, the liquidity of healthy markets and the efficiency of transactions.
He added that arbitrage operations, for example, can have a positive effect because they make markets more efficient and reduce prices where there are premiums. Identifying and developing opportunities to profit from arbitrage transactions was the main reason for founding Alameda. One of the first big gains we made was Litecoin, he recalls.
There was a week in late 2017 when Litecoin was trading at a steady 20% price on the GDAX Coinbase [now Coinbase Pro]. That’s cool, you make 10% every half hour, I guess you make dollars forever? And that, of course, is not the solution.
It proved terribly difficult and necessary to use this facility to circumvent the trade size and withdrawal limits of one million per day. A few years ago in crypto-economics, a big part of the problem was finding the logistics, he says.
In another arbitrage transaction, SBF and its friends moved up to $25 million a day through a series of intermediaries and land banks in Japan to take advantage of Kimchee’s infamous bonus, which allowed Bitcoin to be traded up to a third more in South Korea’s hard-to-reach financial system than in the United States.
But it is the management of the outdated financial system that has caused the biggest problems. The slowest and most difficult, most expensive and frustrating part of arbitration is the fiat, he says, referring to the difficulty of getting accounts that can then be closed at any time, archaic procedures and bureaucracy, and incredibly slow bank transfers.
We worked in physical bank branches for five hours a day for over five months because it took a long time to transfer money, he says, adding:
It’s like arriving at 10am and staying there with a few people until 1pm to make all the appointments we had to have every damn day of the week to send the same recommendation we sent yesterday.
This is one of the reasons SBF is so passionate about the DeFi – its vision is to one day replace the existing financial system, which is already too cumbersome. The current payment rails are not efficient at all, he says. There are billions of companies that just abstract it, and you end up with this incredibly complicated web of shit to make it usable for most people. They work on older systems that were not even designed for the Internet.
Effects of cryptography
For many, the SBF did not become an important figure in cryptography and DeFi until the mid-1920s, when it began to have an impact on Twitter crypto. It was an intentional gesture: He would have liked to have stayed under the radar in 2018 as Alameda focuses on quota trading: Very little advertising is required, which is usually a disadvantage. But when he launched FTX, an innovative cryptocurrency exchange system, in 2019, he had to create a community around it, and he took the lead in becoming its public face on social media.
As regards FTX as a retailer, the following rules apply: The more customers, the better. You can develop the best product in the world, but if no one knows about it, it’s worthless, he says.
One of the most challenging and interesting tasks was finding ways to engage users, and a large part of this task was awareness raising.
He seems to have understood this, as the FTX is now the fifth largest derivatives exchange by volume, with a valuation of $3.5 billion. The company has launched a number of innovative markets, including offering token shares to companies like Tesla, Apple and Amazon, as well as trading on Coinbase prior to its IPO.
She is also using her wealth and influence to try to overcome what she sees as the biggest obstacle to widespread WiFi adoption. He believes that Ethereum, including Eth2, is not sufficiently sized for cryptography and DeFi to replace the existing financial system. Currently, DeFi can process about 10 transactions per second, and Layer 2 solutions offer several thousand TPS.
It’s an absolutely solid and immutable barrier to growth, he says. The Fay literally cannot develop as an ecosystem until this problem is resolved. That’s why there is no long-term plan that doesn’t address this problem. …it’s just deadly. Even the Eth2 target of 100,000 GST is not enough for what the SBF has in mind.
If your goal is to reach 100 million or a billion users, […] the application should be able to process about a million transactions per second to become one of the biggest applications in the world. So you can endlessly tick off the list without having to consider other factors, with a scaling solution that will not lead you to your goal.
This has led him to become one of the strongest proponents of Solana, a retail chain that currently handles 65,000 TPS and which the team claims could eventually reach amazing levels : 710,000 TPS on a 1 gigabit connection or 28.4 million TPS on a 40 gigabit connection.
In August 2020, he founded Serum DEX on Solana and launched SRM Cryptocurrency. Bankman-Fried says you can see the benefits of Solana in whey by the order book. The matching engine takes only a hundredth of a cent to place an order, and auctions take only a few seconds.
So get lots of juice from the higher flow. And that has really helped to broaden the product base. So much so that I think our best estimate is that Whey DEX probably consumed more transactions in six months of operation than the entire Ethereum store chain ever did.
Network effects have given Ethereum a hard time, forcing deFi projects and users to migrate to Solana. Even after Chief Nomi handed over control of SushiSwap to him, he was unable to convince the community to hand him over. In the end, it was much more complicated than we thought to migrate existing projects and much easier to create new ones, he explains, adding :
We would be very happy if they had an outpost on Solana. I think they still will at some point. But I also think Seren will go both ways. Ultimately, I want better products and better users, you know, no matter what.
(After our interview, there was a new proposal to build a version of SushiSwap on Solan and Whey, perhaps under the name Bonsai).
While the SBF argues that the network effects of many interconnected applications built on Ethereum are significant, it notes that each project will eventually need to migrate and dismantle assemblies and toolsets with existing options to move to Layer Two, Eth2 or another scalable solution. As for the number of users, he claims that the effects of the ETH network are overestimated.
The other part is that while DeFi’s current user base is very loyal, very large and powerful, it is not very large. The daily active users, I think it’s tens of thousands. I think FTX probably has more active daily users than all the DeFi’s combined.
It appears that SBF is considering implementing the Solana blockchain as infrastructure in applications where it is invisible to most users, to allow millions of users to access the DeFi. In early 2021, Alameda did a $50 million funding round to implement DeFi type tools on Maps.me, an offline European mapping application with 140 million users. Solana will build a multi-currency portfolio with exchange rates and locations. FTX’s purchase of Blockfolio could follow a similar strategy.
I think it will be a very cool product and a powerful suite of products for the application, he says of Maps.me. I’m very excited. I think this could be the start of adoption.

15 TO WATCH/5 SPORTS TECH/POWER OF SPORTS 5: RICK HORROW’S TOP SPORTS/BIZ/TECH/PHILANTHROPY ISSUES FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 2
with Jamie Swimmer & Jesse Leeds Grant
The new MLB season is upon us, though this year the Los Angeles Dodgers did not hold the league’s biggest payroll on Opening Day. According to the Associated Press, the Boston Red Sox’ payroll of $223 million was enough to snap the Dodgers’ four-year run as the top spender in baseball. Prior to this year, the Red Sox had not had baseball’s largest payroll since at least 1990, “the earliest year figures compiled by MLB are available.” The San Francisco Giants ranked second at around $203 million, and the Chicago Cubs are third at about $183 million. Rounding out the top five are the Dodgers and Washington Nationals, each approximately spending $180 million. The New York Yankees, a club that is used to spending exorbitant amounts of cash on an annual basis, have their lowest payroll since 2003, spending only around $167 million. This marks the first time that the club has been ranked as low as seventh in spending since 1992.
Now that spring training is over, the economic impact should continue to flow with 15 teams in Florida and 15 teams in Arizona. As for Florida, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission recently sponsored an event called “Economic Impact of Baseball in Palm Beach County.” The event featured speakers including Pat O’Conner, President of Minor League Baseball; Brian Cooley, President, EVERFI Sports and Entertainment Group; Pat Rooney, Palm Beach County civic and business leader; Steve Salem, President, Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation; and George Linley, Executive Director, Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The economic impact of four teams in Palm Beach County, especially with the world champion Houston Astros, as well as two minor league baseball teams and over 30 amateur baseball teams last year means significant economic impact that other communities can emulate. This will be a big benchmark for other counties to follow, not only in Florida but in Arizona as well.
While a record 130 MLB players will be making at least $10 million this season, the league’s average salary only rose by 3% over last year. According to USA Today, the minimal rise in league-wide salaries can largely be attributed to a depressed market. The average salary currently sits at $4.61 million, compared to last year’s marker of $4.47 million. Only three players were awarded contracts north of $100 million this offseason, and only two players inked contracts longer than five years. Teams spent “$1.98 billion on 65 multi-year contracts this winter, compared to $2.98 billion on 57 deals a year ago, and $2.06 billion on 30 multiyear contracts in 2016.” One big motivation for clubs to decrease their spending was to get below the luxury tax line – set at $197 million. The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, last year’s top two spending teams, have cut more than $100 million payroll, putting them each more than $30 million below the tax line.
The 2018 Masters is imminent at Augusta National Golf Club – and it may be the most eagerly-anticipated Masters to date. Tiger Woods is making his return to the tournament as the favorite despite not having won a Major in over 3,500 days. If he comes out of the weekend victorious, the 42-year-old would become only the seventh person to win the tournament aged 40 or older, joining the like of Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus. According to WalletHub, last year’s ticket sales revenue was estimated to be valued at over $35 million. The Augusta Chronicle notes that Woods' place in the field "appears to be driving up the price of practice-round tickets and tournament badges on the secondary market." TickPick reports that Woods has "boosted the secondary-market price of a Thursday tournament badge to $3,653," a 77% increase from last year’s Thursday badge; according to the company, this year’s prices are the highest they’ve seen. StubHub is "listing four-day tournament badges for $9,900." While ticket prices remain incredibly expensive, one of the best aspects of The Masters is the cheap concessions. A domestic beer will only cost you $4.00, while an obligatory egg salad or pimento cheese sandwich will only set you back $1.50.
Tiger Woods was one of the most marketable athletes in the world before he lost major sponsorships with AT&T, Gatorade, and Gillette in the wake of his 2009 sex scandal. Will he get them back? Woods has also had struggled with injuries, and had his reputation take a further hit last year with an alleged DUI arrest. Companies still consider sponsoring Woods due to his universal name recognition. However, major sponsors are unlikely to capitalize on Tiger anytime soon. “We test him often, and there is still a very significant lack of trust and likability, in terms of the general population,” Matt Delzell, managing director of The Marketing Arm/Davie Brown Talent, told Fast Company. “It’s an interesting balance we don’t see with a lot of athletes, where people want to see him perform well because it adds excitement to the sport, even for casual golf fans. But no one is looking at these numbers and saying, ‘This is a guy I’ve got to attach my brand to.’ The numbers don’t justify that, especially the kind of money he’d be asking for.” One place where Woods continues to perform is Las Vegas. Per Golf.com, Vegas sportsbooks have had a golf-betting reawakening with Tiger’s reemergence. As of Sunday, he was a 9/1 favorite to win another green jacket.
While the jury is still out on whether Tiger Woods’ comeback will bring back the major new sponsor commitments of yesteryear, companies are eager to capitalize on his 2018 resurgence. Bridgestone Golf, a longtime Woods sponsor, will "start selling customized Tour B XS Tiger Woods Edition golf balls," and a "portion of the proceeds from the sale of the balls will go to the Tiger Woods Foundation," according to GolfWeek. Each ball is "stamped 'Tiger' on the side, just like the balls" Woods uses in competition. Likewise, Delta Air Lines is leveraging its sponsorship of The Masters with the launch of an "international-only media platform," which will include ads and social media ahead of this week’s event. Bizjournals.com notes this is Delta's first year as an "International Partner" of the tournament after the airline signed a multiyear deal in October. The new marketing campaign is "running in 11 countries across broadcast TV, digital, out-of-home and social media channels, with concentrated investments in London, Mexico City and Seoul." Delta’s deal was struck before Woods was ensured to be in the field, but the airline clearly will benefit by his presence, especially if he makes the cut.
Villanova and Michigan square off on Monday for the NCAA national championship. And the NCAA is likewise heading back to court, this time to argue over the amount that student athletes are allowed to be compensated financially. According to USA Today, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken set December 3 as a trial date for the pending lawsuits, which “seek to prevent the NCAA and a group of 11 major conferences from collectively confining athletes to receiving scholarships covering tuition, fees, room, board, books, and incidental costs of attending college.” The plaintiffs in the case have proposed that limits of compensation for athletes should be set on a conference-by-conference basis instead of nationally, as well that athletes “be allowed to receive all manner of benefits above the cost of attendance that are related to education and/or are incidental to their participation in their sports.” Judge Wilken, the ruling judge in the case, is the same official who oversaw the Ed O’Bannon antitrust trial the last few years, so she is well-versed with the NCAA.
Multiple European countries are preparing a potential bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics. According to Reuters, Milan and Turin will be teaming up for one bid, while Barcelona and the Pyrenees mountains might work together on another. The International Olympic Committee’s new bidding process allows for Games to be spread over bigger areas, making both of these bids logistically possible, though “the competition can only be named after one city.” Italy’s bid most likely will call for the ceremonies and some events to be held in Milan, while others will be staged at venues built for the Turin 2006 Olympics. Meanwhile, Spain’s potential bid would be used to promote peace between Catalonia and Spain. “The Olympics brought together in the most recent Games the two Koreas; now it can help us (Catalonia and Spain) return to working together,” said Catalan Sports Secretary General Gerard Figueras. “Sport is capable of carrying out initiatives that are beneficial to the whole world.” Games officials are closely watching the awarding of the 2026 World Cup, where the joint North American bid may prevail and influence other decisions.
The price of building the new Los Angeles NFL stadium and the surrounding development area continues to balloon, now reaching nearly $5 billion. According to the Los Angeles Times, the stadium alone was originally projected to cost $2.6 billion, but that has since risen to nearly $3 billion, while the other developments have risen in cost as well. NFL owners approved raising the debt waiver up to $4.963 billion, allowing the Rams and Chargers to continue with their construction plans; neither franchise has provided a specific number as to what the stadium will cost, though. The first phase of the local development project includes the stadium, the “neighboring 6,000-seat performance venue, the 200,000 square feet of office space for NFL media, the parking lots surrounding the stadium, and the cost of the entire 300-acre parcel.” The first phase is expected to be finished by 2020, with phases two, three, and four coming in later years. Because this site includes space for a de facto NFL West headquarters, the league is more likely to rubber-stamp cost increases that would normally draw major scrutiny and angst.
10.High school basketball players skipping college to join the G League could become a lot more common following McDonald’s All-American and Syracuse commit Darius Bazley’s decision to do so. According to Yahoo Sports, Bazley’s decision to forgo college came down to him thinking that he would get more out of the G League than he would by playing in Europe or at Syracuse. Bazley will be able to officially sign with a G League team when he turns 18 in June. If ultimately selected toward the top of the class in the 2019 NBA draft, Bazley could serve “as a trailblazer for the future of the sport,” especially with the ongoing NCAA scandal and the imminent shakeup of the current system. “The G League will have the most to offer, considering that is the development league for the NBA,” said Bazley. “I will get more out of that than going overseas.” This is only the tip of the hardwood iceberg – look for many more marquee players to follow in Bazley’s large and well-compensated footsteps.
11.The 2018 World Cup in Russia is less than 100 days away, and the excitement is beginning to build around the world. According to The Drum, a new research study from GlobalWebIndex showed than nearly half of the world’s online population plans to tune into this summer’s tournament. As part of the study, the company surveyed 80,267 people from over 40 leading markets around the world. The findings show that 47% of the online population plans to watch the 2018 World Cup, with 55% of male internet users expected to watch either online or on TV. Comparatively, just over one-third (37%) of female internet users polled noted that they would tune in at some point. The World Cup “holds a significantly greater appeal than that of the Premier League (25%).” Viewers in Europe that were polled said that the apps they are most likely to use are YouTube (90%), Facebook (76%), WhatsApp (65%), Facebook Messenger (49%), Instagram (48%) and Twitter (39%). Even without a U.S. squad in contention this year, expect, huge viewership on TV and online in the U.S. as well.
Investing in professional sports leagues is more than just fun and games for corporate sponsors, it is serious business. During last year’s MLB All-Star break, SportsETFs launched a Pro Sports Sponsors Index. The fund (FANZ) is composed solely of companies that are official sponsors of the four major sports leagues in North America (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL), with 67 companies currently part of it. Since the fund’s July 11, 2017, launch date, it has been on par with or above the S&P 500; the fund was even back-tested against the index since 2005 and outperformed it by 130%. “If you look at the companies that partner with the league, they are typically blue-chip companies that still want to grow, so, they’ve got a growth component but they’ve also got a value component in that they have enough free cash flow to earmark a big chunk of their marketing budget to sports,” said founder Nick Fullerton. The widespread interest in esports teams will only accelerate this sports investment trend.
13.NeuLion has been acquired by Endeavor in a deal valued at $250 million. According to SportsVideo.org, NeuLion, the digital video and streaming powerhouse, is one of the leaders in the industry, having worked directly with major partners across the globe like the NFL, NBA, EFL, UFC, Big Ten Network, and Sky Sports, just to name a few. Endeavor is the parent company of UFC and was looking to expand its role in the streaming of sports, entertainment, and fashion before making the all-cash purchase. “Through our content portfolio, client base, and broader network of rightsholders, we’ve encountered many different platforms for distributing and monetizing content,” Endeavor CEO Ariel Emanuel said in an official release. “NeuLion provides an ideal combination of technology and client services, and we’re excited for the value this brings to our existing partners and the foundation it provides for our future digital growth.” As Endeavor continues to grow, it only makes sense that it will continue to build out its infrastructure and digital platforms to house its booming content.
14.While a majority of NBA players ultimately end up in some sort of financial trouble years after retirement, Shaquille O’Neal is trying to flip that script. According to JohnWallStreet, Shaq is making more money today that he ever did in a year while he was playing. Over the course of his NBA career, Shaq made $292 million in on-court earnings, with the most he earned in a year being $30 million in salary. Today, the two-time All American from LSU and legendary big man is the sixth highest paid retired athlete, following the likes of Michael Jordan, Arnold Palmer, and David Beckham. Since retiring in 2011, “his single largest payday occurred in December 2015 when he sold 51% of all future business endeavors (not including his broadcasting contract with Turner Sports or his minority investment in the Sacramento Kings), providing him with between $230-$270 million in cash. As Shaq’s son Shareef gets ready to suit up for UCLA next season, he will be looking to follow in his father’s footsteps on and off the court.
Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings was recently in Austin for SXSW to officially launch her p1440 beach volleyball event series, which consists of a series of "volleyball-a-palooza-style festivals, complete with top-level competition, a health and wellness village, personal development experiences and a music festival," according to the Austin American-Stateman. Eight events are planned for the 2018-2019 season, starting with a "festival in Chicago in September and followed by events in the San Jose Bay Area, San Diego and Huntington Beach." A digital component of p1440, where "users can get training tips, stream volleyball matches and workouts...and chat with others, will launch this summer, too." The goal is to "attract between 20,000 and 30,000 people to each three-day event and 4 million to the online platform" by 2021. Walsh Jennings, who split from the AVP in February, said, "We believe we will attract new eyeballs to sport. We’re not a small undertaking.” Walsh Jennings’ dispute with the AVP centered on exclusivity, a provision in the player’s agreement prohibiting them from competing professionally in any other U.S. tournaments. With just eight tournaments per year on offer by the AVP, she not only felt this was unreasonable, she created a workable alternative for pro volleyball players.
Tech Top 5
U.S. Soccer announces $1.5 billion deal with STATSports. The U.S. Soccer Federation has hired Irish wearables company STATSports to provide monitoring devices for its four million registered soccer players in the United States. Valued at over $1.5 billion, U.S. Soccer and STATSports say the partnership will result in the world’s largest player data monitoring program, which will help identify future soccer stars in the U.S., as well as giving players at all levels across the country access to the performance technology used by top professionals and teams around the world. STATSports’ software will allow U.S. coaches to analyze each player’s individual response to training sessions and games through real-time feedback. This will also reduce the chances of players’ under-training or suffering injuries from over-training. The technology will be rolled out across all of U.S. Soccer’s national teams, while it will also be deployed in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), as well as across youth national teams and development academy clubs. As well as US Soccer, STATSports also has partnerships with the NFL, NHL, and a number of clubs from the Premier League.
MLB.TV set to launch Catch Up feature for game streams. MLB’s Advanced Media is working on a “Catch Up” feature to help fans joining a broadcast in progress to quickly review the action they missed. If a MLB.TV subscriber logs into the livestream of a game in the fourth inning, the app can play a reel of the key moments from the start of the game. “Regardless that you’re an hour late, you are feeling such as you received the highlights, you’re on top of things,” MLB’s government vice chairman for technique, know-how and innovation Chris Marinak stated. Catch Up will launch first for Apple TV and supported units however, will transfer to different platforms in time. The spotlight choice is automated, with an algorithm powering a “fascinating index” worth that ranks performs by their impression on Win Chance. Marinak additionally described a collection of “incremental enhancements” to the At Bat app, together with an improved video participant, higher navigation, and improved voice recognition along with Catch Up for MLB.TV.
Gatorade tackles dehydration with VR. Gatorade’s “Beat The Blitz” digital actuality simulation encourages younger athletes to study hydration and efficiency. Gatorade has provided a new brand new strategy to entertain while educating athletes about correct hydration. The beverage firm unveiled its new “Beat The Blitz” VR recreation that includes former NFL All-Professional and Tremendous Bowl champion, Peyton Manning. “I look just a little youthful in 3D,” said Manning in a recently launched Gatorade video. “Beat The Blitz” has fans taking hydration recommendations from Manning while throwing passes at targets and avoiding would-be tacklers. The recreation was developed by ZeroCode together with assist from The Mill, OMD, and VML. “Beat The Blitz” debuted at SXSW and the NFL Mix in Indianapolis. Through its activation, Gatorade is encouraging younger athletes to look at the significance of hydration on athletic efficiency.
Turner Sports is launching ‘”B/R Live.” Turner Sports will launch a streaming over-the-top video service in April called B/R Live. B/R Live, named for Turner’s Bleacher Report, will include live games from the NBA, UEFA, World Arm Wrestling, PGA Championship, and National Lacrosse League, among others. "When we acquired B/R six years ago, we imagined a time when the brand could become a virtual network in its own right, and that time is now," said Turner President David Levy at a press event at Bleacher Report's New York office. Turner also hopes it will serve as a hub for sports fans. If it is on a Turner network, users will be able to watch live in the app; if on a competitor, it will link to its app. B/R Live will be free at launch. Later in the summer, the company will roll out a paywall, letting users pay for individual games, or a subscription for broader access to games. It will launch on the web and on mobile at first, with apps on connected TV devices launching later in the summer. Advertisers will be able to buy ad space on Turner’s linear channels, and the same space on the in-app stream. In addition, sponsors will be able to buy out the whole app, sponsor the free preview stream of live events, or even sponsor entire events, making them free to users.
NBA to sell parts of games with micropayments. NBA fans will be able to buy the right to see parts of non-national TV games for a small fee, the league and its digital partner Turner Sports announced last week. The offering is set to begin in the 2018-19 season. The league and Turner began offering League Pass games on an individual basis for $6.99, but Tuesday's announcement signals the first time a major sports league is offering fans the chance to buy parts of games. Sources said that the league will continue to experiment by offering fans various fees to see a certain percentage of a game. The offering could be dependent on a close game in an important matchup down the stretch, a team making an epic comeback, or a player in the midst of setting a record. The new offering won't change what has been offered in the past. Fans can still get a certain team's games for the season and continue to pay $6.99 individually for games that intrigue them. Fear of cannibalizing the NBA League Pass revenue had once seemed to make it harder to sell fans slices of games. But younger fans are used to making micropayments and buying things on impulse, especially when notices pop up in their social feeds.
Power of Sports 5
Dodgers donate $2 million to Puerto Rico. Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner and chairman Mark Walter says the team is donating $2 million to support rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico after last year’s devastation caused by Hurricane Maria. Walter announced the donation to Habitat for Humanity of Puerto Rico last Tuesday. Infielder-outfielder Kike Hernandez and his fiancee Mariana Vicente selected the charity and added over $225,000 earned through their fundraisers. The donation will go toward rehabilitating and reconstructing damaged homes in Humacao, Santa Isabel, Ponce, Patillas, and Arroyo, and constructing new housing in Guayama. According to government estimates, the hurricane severely damaged or destroyed more than a third of the island’s 1.2 million occupied homes, and more than 60,000 new homes need to be constructed.
Kevin Durant is the frontrunner for NBA citizenship award. Kevin Durant’s commitment to the community over the last year has made him the frontrunner for the 2017-2018 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. Named after the NBA’s second commissioner, the Citizenship Award is given by the Professional Basketball Writers Association to “a player, coach or athletic trainer who demonstrates outstanding service and dedication to the community.” Through the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation, Durant has surpassed the criteria listed to win the award. The Kevin Durant Charity Foundation aims to enrich the lives of at-risk youth from low-income backgrounds through educational, athletic, and social programs. The foundation made a 10-year, $10 million commitment to bring College Track’s college completion program to Durant’s hometown in Maryland, creating The Durant Center, a new state-of-the-art educational and leadership facility. “Build It and They Will Ball,” the foundation’s flagship program, has built or renovated 14 courts in four countries. Durant also announced a $3 million donation to the University of Texas’ basketball programs and the school’s Center for Sports Leadership & Innovation, and contributed $10,000 to Colin Kaepernick’s “10 for 10” campaign.
Cleveland Indians pitcher to donate $420.69 a day for 69 days. Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer will donate close to $100,000 to different charities this year after winning more than he initially fought for in arbitration. During his "69 Days of Giving," Bauer will donate $420.69 to a different charity for 68 straight days, starting on Opening Day, and finish off the event with a final donation of $69,420.69. All told, Bauer will commit $104,030.31 of his $6,525,000 salary to the project, leaving him to take home $6,420,969.69 for his work with the Indians this season. Bauer will be donating $420.69 to a different charity every day for 68 straight days, taking suggestions from the public as to where to give. On the 69th day, he'll cap off the campaign by make one final donation of $69,420.69 to a charity of his choosing. Add in another $6,002.70 for Taiki Green, the campaign manager of the charitable endeavor, and Bauer will be left with his desired 2018 salary of $6,420,969.69. "I'm just trying to give to charity, man," Bauer said. "I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where I have the ability to do that."
Orioles pledge $300,000 to local charities. The Baltimore Orioles announced a $300,000 pledge to local charities in support of the club's Birdland Community Heroes program. The donation total includes a combined pledge of $100,000 from the Orioles Charitable Foundation to the 2018 season's Birdland Community Heroes' related charities, as well as $200,000 to the charities of those Heroes honored in prior seasons. On Opening Day, the Orioles welcomed back all previous Birdland Community Heroes to take part in a special pregame ceremony. Launched during the 2016 regular season, the Birdland Community Heroes program recognizes community heroes who have inspired others through their spirited commitment to extend a hand in charity, service, hope, and harmony. During Opening Day ceremonies, approximately 60 previous Birdland Community Heroes were on hand at Oriole Park to participate in an on-field ceremony celebrating their contributions to the Birdland community. Orioles Executive Vice President John Angelos presented a $200,000 check to the group of prior honorees, to be evenly distributed among all 2016-2017 Birdland Community Heroes' associated charities.
Arsenal and Real Madrid legends to play for charity. Arsenal and Real Madrid legends will play in two matches in aid of charity, with Real Madrid club hosting the first match at the Bernabeu on June 3. All proceeds are set to go to the Real Madrid Foundation – a project aimed at helping children in need. Arsenal will host a return meeting on September 8 at which proceeds will go towards the Arsenal foundation. Both teams have fielded a team of legends in the last two years. Madrid beat AS Roma legends 1-0 last year. Real president Florentino Perez expressed his delight at being able to welcome Arsenal to the Spanish capital. "One more year we are here to present a new edition of what has become one of our solidarity traditions. An event of the most emotional of which we celebrate each season," he said. "The Real Madrid and Arsenal will star this Heart Classic Match 2018 Football for Children, whose profits this time will be allocated to projects in the Real Madrid Foundation that are aimed at children who need it most."

Wedding Planning - Week Nine
Wednesday 3rd January, 177 Days till ‘I Do’
Wow! 2018 already.. the fact that I am getting married this year is a really odd thought, the fact that this time next year I will have been married for six months is a really daunting and exciting thought all at once. Last weeks blog was super super fun seeing what Kurtis was feeling about our wedding and the planning etc... even if I did tell him he was only allowed to hijack the blog if I could type what he dictated, since one of the biggest reasons I love writing this blog is because I am a massive fan of sitting and typing, its the same reason I used to enjoy English essays in school.
Anywho, this past week seems to have flown by... probably due to the fact that I had Kurtis here with me until Monday. We had the most exciting weekend, we finally committed and decided to go shopping with our gift cards that we received from our Engagement, thank you to everyone who got us gifts/giftcards/cash they have been greatly appreciated. So I figured I would spend most of this blog talking about that, since it took two days and was honestly a lot of fun. We had gift cards for John Lewis, Dunelm, Next, Argos, Tescos and the Range.. So we tried to sort of plan what we were going to get from each shop but when we were trying to shop without having a house or any idea of the space we will have it actually proved quite difficult!
Next- So from next we decided to try and sort all things bathroom! So we got a toothbrush/toothpaste holder, a soap dispenser and a toilet cleaning brush which all matched in a speckled beige and grey colour (its prettier in person than that sounds I promise!). Then to match these in a grey/stone colour we got a toilet roll holder and stand. In keeping with the clearly now grey/stone themed bathroom we bought two towel bundles which were super good value for money! They were £20 for two hand towels and two bath towels, so £5 a towel... and we got these in a light grey colour. To match these we also got a shower mat, which I was shocked even existed! I have only ever seen bath mats which sometimes I feel can be a little bit too big and take up too much space in a bathroom, so when I saw the little square shower mat I was amazed and so we had to get one.
John Lewis- So from John Lewis we had a little bit of difficulty because we didn't have a load to spend, but didn't want to waste it on something which wasn't practical, so we decided in the end to use it towards something which was a little more expensive and then front up the remainder ourselves... which was great because it now means we have a super nice expensive duvet which only cost us like £10 (winner!). We have no idea what size bed we are going to have, so bought a kingsize Goose Feather and Down duvet... now if you know me you know I LOVE a cwtched up day in bed and live for a nap or two... so a super luxurious duvet was a perfectly practical buy in my opinion.
Tescos- So from Tescos we had more of a plan than any shop we had been into prior to this in that we wanted to sort out some matching kitchen appliances. So we bought a kettle, toaster and microwave all from the Russell Hobbs collection.. this however left us with around £8 on the gift cards... so we firstly found a dish drainer (if thats what its called) which was £2.50!!! Tescos home essentials are such good value for money I was shocked. We also got a black washing up bowl, cutlery drainer, measuring jug and a washing up sponge which you put the soap into. Random kitchen essentials basically.
Dunelm- From dunelm we decided again that it would be worth putting a little bit of extra money towards what we were getting so that we could have a nicer quality product, but still what should have cost us £30-£40 ended up costing us less than £10 which was amazing! Since we had bought a super nice duvet we figured some nice pillows would be fitting to accompany it, so thats what we got from Dunelm; four pillows for our future bed. Now, for anyone that loves a nap and being in bed as much as I do, I would highly recommend buying the Dorma pillow sets from Dunelm. They are £18 for two and honestly I have had the two on my bed now for over a year and a half and they are still super soft and comfy... which obviously is important in a pillow.
Argos- We knew exactly what we wanted to get from Agros and had already agreed this before we had received any giftcards. We decided that if we get any giftcards for Agros/Currys we would buy a vacuum. Kurtis’ mom Jayne has a VAX Cordless vacuum and we both love it, its so easy to use and super lightweight which will be perfect for if we have a small house/flat. So thats what we got from Agros! We were super lucky and it was on offer at the time so we also managed to get a stainless steel kitchen pans set and a four pack of black glasses. I have never felt so grown up in my life buying a vacuum cleaner, was a super weird feeling.
The Range- So we went into the range with two gift vouchers, but without actually knowing how much money was on each of them... so it was really difficult to have any form of a plan or idea of what to get. We decided that we would try and go for decor options... this however proved IMPOSSIBLE! Without having a house and being able to picture where things would live and what rooms would look like it was literally impossible to choose any decorative items. So we ended up getting random bits and bobs which was actually super fun because we came home with a lot of stuff. My favourite two items we got were a stuffed weighted dog for holding doors open and a laundry basket storage unit for the bathroom. We also got a dinner set with matching mugs, six regular drinking glasses, place mats with matching coasters and four jumbo bath sheets to accompany the towel sets we got from next. Oh and for those of you that don’t know the Range sell pic n mix, so being the children that we are we got a pic n mix each too.
All in all, I think we did really well in buying practical items for our home with the giftcards we had. Granted in some shops we spent a little bit more than we had on the gift cards, but we ended up only spending like £40 actual cash across all six shops, which I think is impressive when we got like £400 worth of stuff. We are so so grateful to everyone for their generosity with the giftcards and cash we received at our engagement, we had such fun spending time together and making decisions about our future home together. I would also like to give a special mention to my mum at this point, because ever since we got engaged she has been buying little household essentials, like cheese graters, knife sets, chopping boards etc.. and putting together a ‘bottom drawer’ which is now more like a bottom cupboard because of how much she has put in, then adding in what we bought this weekend. Obviously we don’t have everything we need... but our kitchen/bathroom will definitely be well stocked at this rate. I know lots of people don’t like giving gift cards as gifts but we really appreciated them. We obviously really appreciated the actual gifts we got as well, these are all stored away at Kurtis’ house ready for when we have somewhere to live to make use of them all. When we got home from our engagement party with all the gifts and cards we were both so super excited that we completely forgot about writing down who got what and so it is near impossible for us to thank people personally- so if you got us a gift, please accept this as our gratitude... you have helped to build our future home and that is super exciting for us.
Photos in order are: bottom drawer before we went shopping, trolley in the range, the bottom ‘drawer’ after we had finished shopping and organising it all... and then my personal favourite from the weekend of Kurtis stuck in a Tescos trolley!
Thank you all so much for reading, hope you enjoyed... sorry its such a long read but I couldn't help it!

6 pieces of misguided financial advice that need to die
Recently, one of my buddies was curtain shopping when she got some pretty crazy insight from a friendly store employee.
'You need to expect to spend around 5 % of your residence's worth on curtains and drapes,' the saleswoman described as she sauntered around the sales floor.
Of training course, my pal stopped at the idea. Not only is spending that much cash on drapes absolutely unreasonable, yet it is likewise extremely unrealistic.
Where we live, you can get a truly nice four-bedroom home for $200,000, toss a few Wal-Mart drapes up, and also stop. For paradise's sake, nobody should invest that significantly money on curtains.
I know I absolutely really did not. Customarily, I missed the memo on what someone else thinks I must invest on this or that. When we got our house, my whole drape spending consisted of the cost of a few frames from J.C. Penney. What, maybe $50?
Well guess what, my home looks equally as great as it would certainly if I had actually bought customized Louis Vuitton drapes with gold leaf needlework. (Or whatever kind of curtains set you back $10,000-- I'm not really sure.)
Regardless, the entire scenario with my buddy obtained me thinking concerning all crazy economic guidance I have actually listened to throughout the years. Due to the fact that, allow's encounter it, bad monetary recommendations is all over. And while some is just obsoleted, various other tidbits of wisdom are marginal criminal to disseminate.
Here are some monetary pearls of wisdom that people must truly quit discussing:
1. Anticipate to spend 2 months' wage on an engagement ring.
Nothing grinds my gears greater than the idea that guys or ladies should fork over 2 month's wage for an engagement ring. Think about it. A man drawing in $60,000 need to expect to invest $10,000 on a ring, while a male (or lady) making $90,000 should invest $15,000. Even an individual managing on $30,000 would certainly have to drop $5,000 to meet this standard.
That's the greatest lots of crazy talk I've ever before listened to, as well as it makes good sense when you learn where this guidance stemmed from. Fashion jewelry titan DeBeers crafted that practical policy in the 1980s with the campaign slogan, 'Exactly how can you make two months' income last forever?' Prior to that, the cost wide range DeBeers suggested was more like one month's earnings.
The profits: When you allow a business's advertising and marketing campaign decide just how significantly you ought to invest on their product, expectations will certainly be high. Invest as much as you want on an engagement ring, and also not a penny much more. For many of us, 2 month's salary makes little to no sense.
2. Get as much house as you can afford.
For those who noted and took note, the real estate accident of 2008 functions as a pointer of what occurs when prices spiral unmanageable. However, people often fail to remember promptly. And even worse, they get back to believing the precise same nonsense that got them into trouble in the initial place.
When we were property shopping last year, we heard a lot of the recommendations that confirmed awful back just before the housing bubble popped. 'You guys need to actually purchase a lot even more residence than this,' one Real estate professional told us. 'Buy huge as well as you could quickly double the value of our home over the next decade.'
Another real estate agent echoed a similar position. 'Interest prices are reduced,' she stated. 'Now is the moment to acquire as long as you can.'
But, just how much could we acquire? According to a common home mortgage calculator, we could spend about 300 % of exactly what we would certainly planned. During that time, I didn't care just what a calculator told me, nor did I care what the financial institution would certainly offer me. I recognized exactly what I could possibly pay for, and I was fairly content with my decision.
The profits: Just you know what you could afford. Don't listen to the bank. And for heaven's purpose, don't hear real estate agents-- their incomes could increase or fall depending on exactly how significantly you spend.
3. Credit cards are the devil.
Although this certain insight is obsoleted, monetary master Dave Ramsey remains to lead the cost versus the usage of credit report as a way of payment. Back in 2009, he didn't dice words when he told his fans to prevent credit history in any way costs.
"There is no favorable side to credit rating card use. You will spend more if you utilize credit report cards,' he created on his internet site. 'Even by paying the expenses promptly, you are not defeating the hvac system! A lot of family members don't pay on time.'
His viewpoint could not have transformed because then, however the globe certain has. Now you can barely obtain by without a minimum of having a charge card for unexpected emergencies. These days, you need credit history to rent a resort room or a rental vehicle. (You could make use of debit, but they will put a grip versus the real funds in your account if you do.)
Meanwhile, credit history cards supply particular defenses that you i simply can not acquire if you make use of cash-- or even debit. Traveling insurance coverage, travel insurance coverage, as well as fraud protection are a few of the biggest rewards, but there are lots of others.
The truth is, bank card are not the evil one-- the way we utilize them is the problem. Credit history cards don't acquire you in the red, you do. Find out to make use of credit intelligently, or don't use it at all. Just do not blame a piece of plastic for your problems.
4. Save 10 % for retirement as well as you'll be fine.
For as long as I can bear in mind, I have actually heard that I need to save 10 % of my incomes for that remote celebration in the future known just as 'retired life.'
But over the training course of my life time, the profession landscape has altered significantly. Where workers once worked at the exact same business for 20 or Three Decade, people are now considerably a lot more most likely to change tasks whenever the wind strikes. And also where the majority of people worked for another person their entire lives, much more are now independent or component of the growing freelance economy.
Is 10 % still enough? Maybe, however those of us that intend to retire early sure do not think so.
Let's evaluation of the selections. A family making an average of $60,000 which socks away simply 10 % of that revenue for 30 years would have only $734,075 for retired life if they made an average of 8 % on their investments. If they could possibly manage to put away 20 % instead, they would have near $1.5 million.
The concept of saving just 10 % for retirement died right in addition to the suggestion that you might invest your entire life helping one law firm. If you intend to retire very early -- if you really want to have options-- you should conserve much more than that. And you ought to start now.
5. Bring an equilibrium to boost your credit report score.
This one actually irritates me, and it's merely not since it's patently untrue, it also costs individuals money. Evidently, word on the street is that bring an equilibrium (as well as paying interest) could in fact enhance your credit history score.
Here's the truth: 5 varying factors are taken into consideration when coming up with each individual's credit history score. As MyFico.com reports, 30 % of your rating is based on amounts owed, 35 % on payment past history, 15 % on the ordinary length of your credit report history, 10 % on the amount of brand-new credit you have, and also an additional 10 % on your credit history mix.
The 'totals owed' component is of utmost importance in this disagreement. Basically, the amount of cash you owe on your accounts compared with your overall account restriction is your 'balance-to-limit' proportion, additionally understood as your 'utilization.' Below's exactly how Experian details it:
'Your balance-to-limit proportion, also called your use price, is determined by separating the total amount of the equilibriums on your credit rating cards by the total amount of the credit limitations on your charge card. A high balance-to-limit proportion notifies creditors that you may be experiencing economic trouble or using credit to live beyond your means. A high use rate is a strong indicator of credit rating risk, 2nd just to your repayment history. According to VantageScore, your balances need to not surpass 30 % of your credit line. The reduced your use rate, the much better. The very best approach is to pay your equilibriums in complete every month.'
In other words, owing cash misbehaves for your use, and therefore, bad for your credit report. So rather than bring a balance with the false hope that it's a great thing, pay your credit rating card in complete and also relish in the joy of coming to be debt-free.
6. College is constantly an excellent investment.
Here's the largest whopper of them all-- the lie of all lies-- the one economic mistake that can change your life for years to come.
It's true that university is the ideal assets that many individuals have ever made or will ever make. However is it a great financial investment for everyone? I think not.
While a college degree might be a demand for some occupations, it isn't called for in any way for others. Nurses, physicians, attorneys, as well as educators need that oral plaque buildup on the wall surface and also the suitable accreditations, yet do builders, artists, as well as tech workers? The answer: Not always.
The increasing expenses of a college level also play a component in this formula. When university costs rise faster than the salaries of degree-holders, the return-on-investment, or ROI, goes down like a lead brick.
According to one of the most current figures from University Board, the typical expense of a four-year level from a four-year in-state institution has actually reached nearly $40,000 for the 2014-15 academic year. At the same time, the price of the very same level at a personal college rose to virtually $125,000. And also remember, that's just the cost for tuition as well as charges, it doesn't include room as well as board, real estate, as well as all of the various other expenses that maintain college unreachable for so many.
And maybe the greatest red flag is this: Practically fifty percent of newbie university pupils do not complete making their degree. That implies many pupils leave institution with a lot of pupil funding financial obligation-- and very little else to reveal for it.
The truth: College isn't for every person, neither ought to it be. Believe long and also hard just before you press your kids into something that will certainly cost them a lot, yet potentially return so little. Specific jobs might call for that four-year degree, however others need simply an associate's degree, a few accreditations, or some applicable encounter. It depends on you to know the difference.
Learning to spot bad advice from a mile away
When you're young as well as still figuring things out, it's simple to hear monetary suggestions such as this as well as believe that's i simply the method things are. When you have actually been around for a while, you start to recognize that bad financial insight is anywhere-- and also it's up to you to prevent it.
So rather of relying on what others claim, learn to believe things through on your own. It could be smart to get in touch with a financial specialist in specific situations, but a lot of the time, you most likely already recognize the solution. If a $20,000 engagement ring seems like the craziest point you have actually ever listened to, it's most likely due to the fact that it is. That cares just what DeBeers needs to claim regarding it?
The bottom line is this: Only you understand just what you can pay for. Just you know if specific advice makes good sense for your scenario. And also for heaven's sake, only you recognize just how much you should invest on curtains. As well as at the end of the day, just your point of view matters.
So do yourself and also everybody else a support-- disregard bad financial insight, or at the very least stop repeating it. Some bad financial suggestions needs to die-- once and for all.
