What does serengeti mean?
Definitions for serengeti
ˌsɛr ənˈgɛt iserengeti
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word serengeti.
An ecosystem located in Tanzania and extending to Kenya, known for hosting the largest and longest overland semiannual migration of herd animals in the world.
The Serengeti National Park.
The Serengeti is a breed of domestic cat, first developed by crossing a Bengal and an Oriental Shorthair. Recognized and registered by The International Cat Association, no other first generation crosses can be registered as Serengeti. From the Bengal × Oriental cross came the first foundation Serengeti. Breeders then worked with the cat to produce a cat that resembles the breed profile set by TICA. Created by Karen Sausman of Kingsmark Cattery in California in 1994, the breed is still in the development stages, but the ultimate aim is to produce a cat that looks similar to a serval, without using any recent wild cat blood. Serengetis are spotted cats, with long legs and very large, round tipped ears. They also posess a long neck which blends with the base of the skull without tapering. Males are generally slightly larger and heavier than females and can weigh between 10 to 15 lbs; females generally weigh between 8 and 12 lbs. Because the Bengal stock is a hybrid cat, the Serengeti is also classified as a hybrid.

We see no reason as to why we should support this decision, because Tanzania has a stable and increasing population of giraffes, over 50 percent of our giraffe population is within the Serengeti ecosystem, which is well protected. Why should we then go for this ?

Stories of Grace | New Soil
"The Stories of Grace series is intended to capture snapshots of God's grace and glory amidst our every day lives. They are real stories of real people who have seen the fingerprints of God amidst the ordinary—God's favorite canvas. Each story is personal, unique and, often, unfinished. Through it all we get glimpses of God's steadfast love, sufficient grace, and ongoing presence with his people."
When you move from one city to another, they call you a "transplant". As if it's easy to just lift and reset into new soil. In truth, it's pretty complicated and messy even when you're dealing with actual plants; root systems struggle to establish themselves and the plant will sometimes experience a bit of shock right at first. You certainly wouldn't expect them to yield any abundant fruit or blooms just after being transplanted.
But I didn't know this when I was new to Seattle. I had just lifted my roots from Northwest Arkansas with all its rolling, bluegrassy hills and had transplanted to the land of gray skies and glaciers. It was all very exciting and I expected to transfer all my "thriving" from one home to the next.
Come to find out, I didn't transfer so effortlessly. All the things that I wanted to love—neighbors and church and even the landscape around me—werestill foreign. My heart ached for the sense of belonging that came from having years of deep roots in a place. Seattle life was strange and unfamiliar and I felt dissonant in any attempt to recreate what had worked in Arkansas.
But God—there's not a place we can go where He is not watching us, loving us, and desiring to work all things together for our good and His glory. I prayed for a friend and a ministry, and He began working it all out.
It began with blackberries, which is funny in hindsight because blackberries are the poster-child for a fierce and fast-moving root system. But I didn't know that then. I just knew that I felt a close-to-spiritual peace when I was in the neighboring vacant backyard, feasting on wild blackberries with my 4 year old. The yard belonged to an English woman that had recently moved into a local nursing home and I had gained permission from her nephew to forage.
And then one day, a little idea sprang into my head: what if I took some blackberries to the old woman? She would adore tasting the fruits from her old backyard, and it would give me something to do. So we arrived one day with high hopes, a bouquet of flowers, and blackberries. Hopes were immediately dashed when the blackberries were scorned, the flowers were unappreciated, and she seemed almost annoyed at the breach of her privacy. But something inside me refused to be scared off and when I offered to return the following week, she accepted.
That was four years ago. It didn't take long for the woman's demeanor to change, and her stories and personality captivated me. Maybe it took her some time to decide that she liked me, or maybe she finally realized we weren't going anywhere and she could drop her defenses. Since then I have had two baby boys who have basically become like royalty if you saw the way they are adored and swooned over by every grandmother in the building.
Hindsight has also shown me that this old English woman wasn't just a lonely widow that needed someone to take her on as a service project. She was my very first friend in Seattle when I had none. She is my oldest friend here, you could say.
The answer to my prayers was unexpected. My early roots here reached down in a way I never could have guessed or designed myself. The whole thing showed me that God enjoys working things out in ways that astonish us. He is so good and He wants us to thrive! His wisdom, kindness, creativity, even His humor are waiting to be tested if we would surrender even the smallest details and let Him cultivate our lives to His glory and our ultimate delight.

As far back as I can remember the month of September has always been a month of transition. It meant shorter days and longer nights, cooler weather, the leaves losing their green wholesomeness and falling, falling down.
It meant going back to school, sweaters and football games, kissing my girlfriend to "keep warm" and running through piles of leaves the colors of stained glass and hearing that satisifying crunch.
In the back of my mind however it also meant winter was waiting just around the corner. Snow, endless nights, cold and ice. I hated the winter. I hated all that it stood for. All during college and even going back to high school I made it perfectly clear that I was moving south. Towards the warm weather, following the sun. Winter was death.
I've not been home to Pittsburgh for any length of time since. At the end of the month I'm spending ten days there. I will not have my bike but I'm still hoping that a few friends of mine will be willing to let me ride theirs. Three years ago the idea of riding the back roads on a bike meant using a bicycle. It's funny how things change. I am unsure if I'll be able to ride, but I think my gear just might find it's way into the back of my car for the drive up.
It's funny that now I am looking forward to the cool, dry air of winter.
Winter here in the south allows me to sleep with open windows, eat dinner on my lanai and ride much more comfortably. I normally throw a light sweat shirt on under my jacket and that is all I need. I've an old pair of orange hunting gloves that I might wear at night, it's been as low as 32 degrees (0 C for my European friends). For once September doesn't seem to be a last gasp of warmer days. It seems like a new beginning.
Well at home I'll be visiting old friends, visiting the Riverhounds new stadium site, drinking some Iron City well sitting at the famed Primanti Bros. Restaurant in the strip. It will be good to be home.
Maybe September isn't such a sad month after all.

Originally published: 08.01.14 by Tony D'Avino
Peter Drucker, the inventor of modern management, once said, "The customer rarely buys what the business thinks it sells him."
That concept resonated with me early in my career as an advertising salesperson. It changed me from being a describer of product advantages, to a catalyst in helping my customers achieve goals and objectives.
I understood they weren't simply buying advertising space; they were investing in the outcome advertising delivers — increase in brand awareness, generation of sales leads and, ultimately, acquisition of new customers.
That change in thinking made me much more valuable to my customers, as it helped me focus on the issues they really cared about.
Here's a specific story that demonstrates Dr. Drucker's wisdom well:
One Saturday afternoon, as I was cutting the front lawn of our home, I was approached by a teenage boy with a small can of paint and a brush in his hand.
"Good afternoon, sir," he said cordially.
"Hi," I replied, glad to take a quick break. "What can I do for you?"
"Well," he countered, "I'm here to do something important for you today. You see, this paint I have in my hand has all the right properties to be the best option for painting your address on your curb."
For about two more minutes
"So," he concluded, launching into the anticipated close, "would you like your address painted on your curb today for the special price of $12?"
I pointed to the new address sign we'd just hung by our front door.
No thanks. We're all set. I really don't need our address painted on my front curb,"I said, feeling slightly guilty for not supporting this young entrepreneur. "Have a great day, and good luck. Hope you paint a lot today."
Fast forward to Monday ... After work, I picked up the mail from our mailbox and noticed a flyer in the pile, carrying a bold headline.
78% of all houses DO NOT have any visible address for emergency access (911) Police, Fire Department or Ambulances
I read on, now very concerned and disturbed.
"Tomorrow morning, with your permission only, REFLECT-O-LITE addresses will be painted on curbs for $15. Simply sign this flyer and leave it in your mailbox."
That young salesperson had now made me aware of a need I didn't know I had, and by noon on Tuesday, I had a Reflect-O-Lite address painted on my front curb.
I really didn't want to buy the painting of my address on the front curb, but I did want to protect my family in the case of an emergency. That young entrepreneur may have thought he was selling me an address painted on my front curb in Reflect-O-Lite paint, but in reality I was buying peace of mind.
Today's manufacturers have myriad products you can offer your customers. But, are your customers simply looking to buy HVACR products from you, or are they looking to buy the result of what those products deliver?

Dave Lombardo (the twenty-first best drummer in modern metal… wait, that can't be right, can it?), just did an interview with The Nervous Breakdown, in which he reveals that Slayer have nine completed songs written for their new album. And that's really just like one or two or maybe even three songs away from having a complete record, but Slayer aren't waiting 'til then to unleash new music upon the world. When asked about a possible release time frame for this latest offering, Lombardo responds:
"I don't know, but we're going to do a three or four-song EP to keep the fans pacified until we come out with the full-length record. Kind of like what we did with 'Psycopathy Red,' which was like a two-song 45."
If they're really following the general game plan of that "Psychopathy Red" 45, then we can assume that whichever songs end up on the EP will eventually also be on the LP. So, maybe not quite as exciting as getting two wholly-new Slayer releases, but that's still pretty much a First World Problem, y'know?
There's no word on a release date, but Rob at Metal Injection surmises that it will be released in conjunction with the band's appearance on the Mayhem Fest this year (dates). That seems like a reasonable assumption. So we could end up with new Slayer before the end of the summer!

Bromley couple jailed for burglaries across London, Kent and Surrey using the help of boy, 13
PUBLISHED: 07:00 22 April 2014
A couple have been jailed for a series of burglaries where they would often distract their victims with the help of a 13-year-old boy.
Michael Doran, 39, of no fixed abode, and Geraldine Ward, 36, of Burnt Ash Lane, Bromley, were both sentenced on April 15 at Woolwich Crown Court after they pleaded guilty to crimes committed across London, Kent and Surrey.
Doran was imprisoned to nine years and six months, while Ward was imprisoned for three years.
The 13-year-old, who was part of the couple's burglary operation, would distract residents whilst Doran would search address to steal money, jewellery and bank cards from their victims.
The boy pleaded guilty with the couple on February 28 and will be sentenced on April 29.
Ward provided the transport for the trio, driving to various locations across the south-east of England.
The trio were arrested in September last year, and later charged with conspiracy to commit burglary after they were identified by victims.
Detective Constable Kevin Seed, investigating officer, said: "These burglaries were pre-planned and this pair targeted mainly elderly residents, many with serious health and mobility issues.
"Doran and Ward ruthlessly selected their victims and the use of a young boy to commit these offences shows how they took advantage of their victim's kindness and good nature."

The day after we left for our trip to visit Harrison & Elsie and the kids in Maryland David and Camden had their baby. The day after that she was life lined to Riley's hospital in critical condition. It was almost unbelievable that within a couple of weeks 2 grand daughters arrived in this world and all thought everything was fine only for both to be put into critical care units soon following.
Camden's family lives in Indy and we knew they would be very helpful and attentive to them, so we went on with our trip (more on that in the next blog!).
The amazing doctors at Riley's ran every test possible to try to figure out why this little infant was struggling. They thought it might be metabolic, but all tests came back negative.
A doctor told David & Camden that sometimes babies come out and their body is so used to having everything done for them in the womb, that it can revert back to those expectations.
After a week of testing and making sure she was functioning on her own they were able to bring her home yesterday!
Tawnymara and Dallin still have a couple of weeks to go before they can walk into their home with Emery, but they're not complaining, Emery is a super star!
It seems like daily we get reports of more tubes being taken out and of her recovering at an amazing speed. She's beating the time table projected. Tawny brought up yesterday;
". . . she's doing amazing! I was kind of skeptical about her seemingly flawless recovery, especially since her surgery was so rough and all the doctors expected a "roller coaster recovery", until I remembered that her baby blessing said she'll be able to recover from her surgeries with no problems  – what a manifestation of God's power! "
While some might be concerned about the huge scar these surgeries will leave behind. Tawnymara and Dallin will have no problems raising Emery to think that she's special and imbued with super power (which I quite think she is) and Emery will end up feeling bad for anyone without the cool scars on their chests.
Something occurred to me today. It was brought on by a comment one of my yoga students said to me. She was sharing about how her kids (15 & 17 in years) were chit chatting away late into the night and how it made her feel so happy to hear it.
I had told her that I missed those days. Then while in child's pose my thoughts went to David and Tawnymara. Both with their newborns in critical care, both with unanswered questions and uncertain futures, both with amazing supportive spouses. I knew – without a doubt, that these two had been chit chatting with each other, I'm sure very late at night – or in the early morning hours. I know they have wept with and for each other.
The other siblings have also been so involved and aware of all the events and contact has been daily. I'm so grateful that this sibling bond is strong enough to be used in times like this. I'm so glad they love each other, serve each other, weep for each other, and make each other laugh. That's them fulfilling their calling as brothers and sisters.
This realization was so touching and powerful tears came to my eyes and my heart was swollen with gratitude for this relationship they have with each other.
I can't thank you enough for your part in all this. Prayers ascended have wrought miracles transcended!

A story of divine fate and segregation within the Secret Service. Abraham Bolden was the first black Secret Service agent on the White House detail. Serving under John F. Kennedy, Bolden cracked counterfeiting cases and provided security for the President. However, the segregated 60s led Bolden from the White House to prison. In this story, EIS finds Bolden inside his Chicago home as he recounts his experiences of racial tension and why he considers himself a tool of fate.

In this article, we explain how net income is determined when calculating spousal maintenance in Illinois in 2019. We answer the following questions: "how is Illinois spousal maintenance calculated in 2019?", "what is the definition of 'gross income' for Illinois spousal maintenance?", and "how is 'net income' determined for Illinois Spousal Maintenance?"
If the court determines that spousal maintenance is appropriate and also determines that is appropriate to apply statutory guidelines for the amount and duration of spousal maintenance, the amount of spousal maintenance is calculated according to a relatively simple formula. To learn more about how the court makes these determinations, check out our article, Illinois Spousal Maintenance Explained.
When courts apply statutory guidelines to calculate spousal maintenance, the amount of spousal maintenance payments is determined by subtracting 25% of the recipient's "net income" from 33.33% of the payor's net income. For more on this, check out our article: How is Illinois Spousal Maintenance Calculated in 2019?
A party's "net income" is determined by subtracting certain expenses from the party's "gross income." We will explain the definition of gross income as well as the items that are deducted from gross income to arrive at net income below.
"Gross Income" is defined as all income from all sources except maintenance payments awarded in the pending proceedings.
Net income for the purpose of spousal maintenance is calculated by taking the party's gross income and subtracting the following:

'Blood, Brains, and Lobotomies' Coming to SEO History Center April 19< < Back to
A Madness So Discreet is a young adult historical fiction novel set in the late 1800s that follows the story of Grace Mae, a young woman who has been raped by her father, a well-established Boston politician, and unwillingly admitted to an insane asylum. In the book, which was written by Ohio-based author Mindy McGinnis, Grace manages to get out of the inhumane quarters of the Boston asylum she was originally imprisoned in to the Athens Insane Asylum, a humane hospital that still overlooks Athens.
On Thursday, April 19 at 6 p.m., McGinnis is coming to the Southeast Ohio History Center (24 West State Street, Athens) to give a free presentation entitled "Blood, Brains, and Lobotomies," which will explore the history of the Athens Insane Asylum (especially as it pertains to McGinnis' Edgar-Award-wining book,) as well as the history of the treatment of the mentally ill, a subject that McGinnis researched in great deal before writing the book. The presentation is also a part of the history center's ongoing 2018 celebration of the Athens Asylum's sesquicentennial anniversary.
McGinnis learned of the Athens Asylum by way of Katherine Ziff's lauded Asylum on the Hill: the History of a Healing Landscape, which she picked up from Ziff at the Ohioana Book Fair several years ago.
"After I read the book, I knew that I wanted to set a novel there, if I could ever come up with a plot for it," said McGinnis. "Asylum on the Hill is great, it's a very thorough history of the asylum that dispels the many misconceptions that people have about the asylum. Those misconceptions, that the asylum is a scary place, or a haunted place, are just good fodder for bad, untrue stories. In fact, the asylum was one of the best places to be if you were mentally impaired in the early 1900s."
McGinnis was fascinated with the hospital's moral treatment plan, which meant providing a beautiful, inspiring grounds for patients to work and heal together. The entire asylum, although it may look stark and mysterious on the hillside overlooking the Ohio River, was actually built according to the Kirkbride Plan, which was literally an asylum building plan contingent to some very humane theories in the treatment of the mentally ill: that they needed sources of natural light and ventilation.
"It's true that the asylum was overcrowded later on, but in the beginning, it was pretty idyllic, patients farmed and made their own clothes and food, it was a completely self-sustaining environment that gave the patients a sense of belonging and purpose, and it was also all free," said McGinnis. "It was wonderful, but over the years people did start to abuse the asylum, like if you had an elderly relative at home that you just didn't want to take care of anymore, you'd just drop them up on the hill. Although any asylum could be, of course, horrible, honestly the story of the Athens Asylum is one of the nicest ones you're going to find."
McGinnis said that her discovery of Ziff's book came just as McGinnis was supposed to pitch another novel, so she pursued the idea of a novel set there with more intensity, devouring both The Devil In the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness and the Fair that Changed America (about American serial killer Dr. H.H. Holmes by Erik Larson) and The Lobotomist: A Maverick Medical Genius and His Tragic Quest to Rid the World of Mental Illness (a biography of Dr. Walter Freeman, who simplified the lobotomy procedure in the '50s, and who travelled around the country performing the procedure by Jack El-Hai,). McGinnis read lots of other books about the history of psychiatry, rounding out in about 18 months of research before she had even written a word of A Madness So Discreet.
The history of psychiatry is a notoriously difficult topic. From the discipline's early struggles to be considered a hard science with the capability to confront some of the most baffling issues of the human condition to the early methods of treatment for the mentally ill that were, at best, ineffective, and at worst, terribly inhumane. Perhaps the most controversial of these methods was the psychosurgery known as the prefrontal lobotomy, which effectively cuts most of the connections to and from the prefrontal cortex in the brain. The prefrontal cortex houses one's personality, will to live, and general executive function capabilities. Although the procedure is thought of as barbaric now, it should be noted that in 1949 Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the development of the procedure.
Although the surgery did often come at the cost of the patient's self immediately and permanently vanishing, it was considered a true innovation at the time, and widely utilized until the introduction of the first widely marketed antipsychotic, trazodone, in the '60s. Trazodone, and other antipsychotics, work largely the same way on the brain that a lobotomy does, only chemically. Antipsychotics are commonly prescribed to treat everything from schizophrenia to major depression to eating disorders.
"Dr. Freeman had a bad reputation, but he was actually a very good doctor," said McGinnis. "He really did care about his patients, about the people he lobotomized. He would follow up with his patients for 5, 6, even 20 years after the lobotomy, he really believed he was helping people. We need to remember that, at the time, lobotomies were considered very humane, as the most humane way to treat some people. Of course, you should never do something to someone against their will, as some patients were lobotomized without their permission, but it's interesting to think that another method of treatment that is sometimes considered inhumane is still used today: electroshock therapy. And it's still used today because it works, in small doses, much smaller than what they were doing in the '50s, and as a last resort for some patients."
McGinnis ran into a bit of problem while penning A Madness So Discreet, in that for several reasons she needed to set the book in the late 1800s, but the problem being that lobotomies, (a false lobotomy is performed on Grace in the book to make her "unreturnable" to her wealthy, abusive family,) did not actually become a regular, widespread practice until the late 1940s.
Enter Phineas Gage, one of the most famous names in the history of neuroscience.
On September 13, 1848, American railroad construction foreman Phineas Gage was directing a work gang south of Cavendish, Vermont, blasting rock in preparation for a Rutland & Burlington Railroad. Around 4:30 p.m. that day an explosion threw a three-foot-seven-inch, 13.25-pound tamping iron through Gage's open mouth, destroying his left frontal lobe. Improbably, Gage survived, going on to become one of the most famous cases in the history of neuroscience. Gage experienced some marked personality changes after the accident, which changed the way that scientists of the time understood the importance of the prefrontal cortex.
"I felt like it was very possible that in the late 1800s there might have been a doctor who used Phineas Gage as his touchstone for a procedure that would be a like a lobotomy, even if lobotomies were not widespread quite yet," said McGinnis.
McGinnis decided on Grace as her protagonist for the book for several reasons, one of them being the fact that it would allow her to explore the injustices done to women at that time in history.
"The truth is that women had very few rights in the late 1800s, and the only think it took for a woman to be sent to an asylum for the rest of her life was for a male family member to recommend it and for a circuit court judge to sign off on it, and they could be easily bribed," said McGinnis. "During my research I read about one instance where a woman was hospitalized just because her husband had his eye on a younger woman. He already had in his possession all the land that came as a part of his marriage to his wife, and he wanted the younger woman, for one, because she was younger, and for her land, as well. It was a very simple, common thing to bribe a circuit court judge and it was a very simple, common thing for male family members to have ulterior motives in sending their wives or daughters to the asylum."
McGinnis said that sometimes she is questioned as to why she tackles the troubling topic of rape in her book, which is specifically targeted at younger readers.
"Some people ask me why I had the father be the aggressor in an abusive relationship with his daughter in the book, and the reason is: that's who it happens to. It happens to young girls and it's done to them by older male family members," she McGinnis. "And it's very important that Grace had some type of enormous trauma in her life as she is a selective mute, which is very important to the plot of the book."

Book talk with Wendy Elmer
Education Program at Gottesman Libraries hosts different types of education related events in the library through the year. For instance, Socratic Conversation, book talk, workshop, news display, and film screening. I always find those events resourceful and enjoyable. This week, I attended a book talk hosted by Wendy Elmer: Book of Poems About Being a Teenager, and other works. I read some of Wendy's work at a poem reading event hosted by Education program earlier and was really touched by her work. Previously, she shared her works from one of her publications: Books of poems on Bereavement and the Grieving Process. In this book, she bravely and beautifully used poems to express and discuss her feelings of losing beloved ones. This time, she shared some poems from another publication of her: Book of Poems About Being a Teenager. Different from the previous book which discusses heavy topics that people tend to avoid talking about, she used her unique humor and perspective to look at the emotional ups and downs of being a teenager. Wendy is a full time staff at Gottesman Libraries who has a great interest in writing at her leisure time. If you are interested in knowing more about Wendy's work, you can find them here: Wendy's works Happy reading!

collapse of production
The history of the Leningrad school of painting covers the period from the early 1930s to the early 1990s. Having emerged in an atmosphere of intense struggle over the development of art and art education in the USSR, it became the missing link, thanks to which in the 20th century the traditions of national art school and realistic painting were preserved and developed.
Having made a significant contribution to the Soviet visual arts, to the formation of the aesthetic views and spiritual world of modern generations, the Leningrad school left the stage at the turn of 80-90, fulfilling its historical and artistic mission and giving way to the era of transition.
Its main external attributes are preserved. The Academy of Arts, once again changing its name, continues to prepare painters, graphic artists, architects, sculptors, restorers. Continue reading

Through Mask Making
I made my first mask.
The staff retreat I attended last week at Stillheart Institute had a theme "Your Inner Wisdom Mask". We made masks of our own faces. The project was facilitated by Kaleo & Elise Ching. http://www.kaleoching.com. They are a very talented couple. Supportive and patient in the process of mask making. I highly recommend participating in one of their workshops.
We learned a Chi Kung prayer. Then we did guided journeying to access and manifest our personal Inner Wisdom. We learned to make masks in a special way without straws up the nose. We wore grubby clothes as this is a kinda messy process. We had to cut 8 different size pieces of paper. Which when dipped in very warm water and applied to face became a plaster mold. Our masks dried overnight before we painted and decorated/embellished them.
My journeying brought me to Native American Indian dancing. In my picture above there are artifacts including arrowhead, shell, feathers, imitation eagle claw, and a deer antler.
Quotes on masks:
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." – Oscar Wilde
"When I do a mask, I do try to put a lot of character and a lot of expression into the sculpt." – Rick Baker

We began working together in 2001 during our PhD's at the University of Bristol, at the time neither of us had contemplated using creative or artistic methods to represent research. After reading Andrew Sparkes' "Telling tales in sport and physical activity" we both became more aware and interested in what is lost from our research when we only present via traditional methods.
Since this time we have continued to use a variety of creative methods to explore our research. , to attempt understand our selves and to become more aware of our influence on the research process. We feel doing so allows us to gain insights and understandings regarding human experience as well as providing an alternative way to communicate these understandings.

This article was published in South Leeds Life in response to Issue 10's centrefold: Predicaments: unresolved and overlapping by South Leeds based artists Andrew Wilson and Toby Lloyd. The article references a struggle for retaining green space in the face of new housing development in the Garnets, South Leeds.
The housing crisis is everywhere, but the north of England faces a different housing crisis from the south. Here we're faced with problems of deprivation, territorial stigmatisation, empty homes, low demand, areas of so-called 'failing housing markets'. This is first and foremost a social housing crisis: a lack of council homes coupled with a lack of investment in aging stock. But regardless of endless press and political point playing on this issue, there is a political inertia, an inherent unwillingness to deal systematically with this crisis.
In Leeds there are over 20,000 households on the social housing waiting list (GMB, 2014) yet nearly 5,000 empty properties (www.emptyhomes.com). Whilst Leeds City Council has plans to build over 1,000 new council homes over the next few years, only 25 houses will be built in the Garnets – a pitiful number when faced with the wider picture.
Here and all over the country housing is being 'used' as a tool for persuasion, in the same way that employment is 'used'. We are consistently told, "This development will bring much needed housing", in the same way that we are told, "This development will bring much needed jobs". And lastly, in quieted tones, we are told, "There is no alternative": development or bust. Ironically the last housing bust, that of the mortgage crisis, was a big factor in the 2008 financial crash and still we affix our eyes on the housing market, obsessively watching the rise and fall of house prices.
But what are the costs of development to local communities? What is offset in a neighbourhood when green space is lost? Health, wellbeing, a sense of place, somewhere to meet, walk dogs, a place for the kids to play? But what 'value' do these activities have?
Councils often use the concept of 'highest and best use' when making decisions on the viability of developments. But what does this mean? How do you 'value' use? According to the planning application for the Garnets, just over half of the respondents said that they were disappointed there was no green space provision in the proposals. (Whilst, it must be mentioned, the proposed new houses will each have a private garden.) It was then concluded by the council that it would be difficult to "provide meaningful public amenity space by reducing the scope of the proposed development" (Leeds City Council).
So for councils, especially in a time of squeezed budgets, 'highest and best use' and 'land value' are viewed predominantly on an economic level, on market value as opposed to social value.
So in a time of crippling austerity how can this be challenged? Can the concept of 'highest and best use' be countered by the concept of 'community use'? Can land emerge as a site of conflict, of struggle against the cry of "economic value trumps all", and through this struggle bring local people together? How can state claims be challenged and alternative claims articulated that are neither 'public' nor 'private', but something that crosses between these two domains?
Could this illuminate the tokenist tick-box consultation of the council, the rhetoric of 'community participation', where participation is merely "a window dressing ritual" (Arnstein, 1969), a going through of the motions, the decisions already made, the deals already done.
So, in a wider sense, how do you create a 'space' for a community to flourish? How can a neighbourhood, become an active community? And could this be an exercise in reconfiguring the state-citizen relationship?
If the dog shit in the Garnets really gets people's backs up, then what can we learn from how people come together over shit?

It is an axiom that a politician should not pick fights with those who buy ink by the barrel. Well, what about when the media picks a fight with you?
I have always been a news junkie. I watch the news constantly. Here is something I have noticed.
During the Clinton administration, lots of people, beginning with that FBI agent, wroth scathing articles about Bill Clinton. Each of those people were portrayed in the press as partisan critics of the administration.
Now, we have Joe Wilson, Richard Clarke, Anonymous from the CIA, etc. who are portrayed as objective, independent analysts who have decided the Bush administration is misguided.
The press has repeated as fact those things that are outright lies or, at best, misrepresentations. They have trumpeted every bad piece of news. They have portrayed the Kerry-Edwards ticket as the second coming of Christ.
All the while, the President's team does not appear to respond competently. Example: as I said, I am a news junkie. I don't remember the Bush administration coming out forcefully to say the turkey was the real deal. I've thought it was a fake myself.
The administration needs Karen Hughes back to take charge.

Occupancy data typically includes total building square footage, number of employees using the space daily, weekly, and monthly, and then total number of monthly visitors.
Occupancy is an important KPI to have as a baseline workplace metric because it helps companies estimate how many resources they need. Utilization data, sensors, and observational studies can be used to track occupancy rates.

Eight. The number of consecutive years before he arrived at Williams in which running back David Lee started every football game he played. Lee played under Eph legend Dick Farley who would not play freshmen unless there was absolutely no other choice, so Lee didn't get on the field his first season. He did get a lot of carries versus the Eph defense in practice during his first fall, and at one point safety Bodhi Amos hit Lee so hard Amos' hand went through Lee's helmet and made Lee's left eye swell up and close for a week.
Eight. Early his sophomore year, he was by his own calculation 8th string after tearing his hip flexor in preseason. "I thought it was going to be another year of not touching the field," Lee says, "so I decided to just keep my head down and keep working hard." Whether Lee was actually 8th string, there was no other running back listed behind him.
|David Lee '95
Eight. Number of games in a season for the Ephs. Lee finally got a chance to get on the field in game six his sophomore year at Hamilton. "There were a number of injuries and when our running back fumbled on our 15-yard line, I think it was Farley who put me in," says Lee. "I proceeded to rush for 139 yards [on 20 carries, scoring one TD], surprising every coach on our sideline. I remember Renzie Lamb [assistant coach and head lacrosse coach] telling me to call my mom immediately and let her know how I'd done. I think he was in shock." The Ephs lost, however, 34-33, when a two-point conversion pass attempt was batted away.
Farley remembers that the Friday before the Hamilton game Lee came to him and told him that he was ready to play if needed. "We were in pretty desperate shape with injuries, but I honestly didn't think we were that desperate," states Farley. "He was like a good Boy Scout – always prepared. He wasn't flashy, but he got the job done by running hard all the time."
Wesleyan was the next to see David Lee in person, at on Weston Field at Homecoming. Lee, making his first start, laid on the Cards a 172-yard effort [on 28 carries] featuring three TDs and led the Ephs to their 500th win all-time, 28-23.
The next week at Amherst Lee notched his favorite Eph football memory the first time he toted the leather on Pratt Field. "Dan Gill intercepted Amherst on their first series," recalls Lee. "Our first play was an off tackle run, which I took 36 yards for a touchdown. My dad and mom were in the stands and I knew how much it meant for them." Lee rambled for 119 yards on 19 carries that day and rushed for one TD.
Eight. TDs scored by David Lee in the four Little Three games he started in his career, two games each versus Wesleyan and Amherst. He averaged 154 yards rushing per game (6.7 yards per carry) and two TDs in those Little Three contests. Makes you wonder what the running backs that were 1st through 7th string could have done.
Eight. Seasons David Lee competed for the Ephs. A two-sport athlete, he also played middie on the lacrosse team all four years.
A political economy major, Lee remembers his favorite Eph professor, nationally acclaimed mathematician Ed Burger, getting, "the Williams radio station to play the Eagles song 'Take it to the Limit' in our calculus class the day he was introducing limits."
"I lived in Tokyo right out of Williams and taught English," notes Lee. "This is where I got the bug to try teaching again later in life. When I came back to the States, I got a job with the Wall Street firm Alex Brown in 1997, then hired over to Morgan Stanley, where I stayed for three years. My boss and our group got hired away by Deutsche Bank where I worked until 2007. I resigned that March, tired of the hours and lack of quality in my life and took the trip of a lifetime to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Nepal, complete with a month long trek in the Himalayas up to the Everest base camp. I then finished up with a month in Bali.
"Returning home I knew I wanted to teach so I started to sub at numerous schools in the Bay area. I got lucky with a maternity leave at Town School (an all boys independent school in San Francisco), which evolved into a full-time position the following year."
He just finished his third year of teaching 5th- and 6th-grade math and his third year of coaching the U15 lacrosse team.
Eight. Grade of boy's lacrosse team Lee coaches. He strives to affect his players as Dick Farley affected him. "Farley was a coach who was passionate about football, studied the films, knew what he was doing, worked hard, and earned the respect of his players because of this," says Lee. "I think of Coach Farley when I coach my team as to how I want my players to view me as a coach.
"These life lessons of sticking with it even when I was getting beaten up and was the 8th string running back and finally getting a chance to shine is something that I try to impart to my players today. It's demoralizing not getting your chance to play and getting roughed up at practice everyday, but I learned through hard work and persistence that you can get what you want."
Lee, a native of Wayland, Mass., came about 135 miles to attend Williams, but his trip from the bottom of the depth chart to the top was far tougher and longer, and he completed that journey only because he would not let himself stop trying to do his best.

It's getting tougher and tougher for drinkers in the U.S. to control how much alcohol they're consuming. Excessive binge drinking used to be associated mainly with college students and underage drinkers, but times are changing. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) one in six adults binge drinks at least four times per month.
Binge drinking is defined by how much alcohol a person consumes in a two-hour period. For women, three-four drinks is considered binge drinking, and five drinks in two hours meets the criteria for a man. Perhaps the biggest problem with it is that many adults who engage in it do not meet the criteria for alcoholism and may act as though they have no problem at all.
However, research has shown that binge drinking can increase the risk of heart disease, cancer and liver failure. Despite the dangers, many binge drinkers don't feel the need to change their behavior and consider it apart of having fun and unwinding. Excessive drinking is the third leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.

A Snowman Skirt
Posted on Monday the 25th December 2017 by Milly Noel
For my December Minerva Crafts make I decided I wanted to sew something festive without it being overtly "Christmasy." I love this snowman print Fabric because it could be seen as a Christmas outfit, but I can still wear it throughout the rest of the winter since there is an absence of Christmas trees, reindeer, elves, or Santa Claus. I didn't realize this until the fabric arrived but there are several adorable animals hanging out with the snowmen, which makes this print even better!
I cut out a simple flared skirt based off of the skirt from Gertie Sews Vintage Casual. I don't actually own the book, but my sister-in-law does so I borrowed it a while ago to make a simple denim skirt. Since then I have used that skirt as a "pattern" many times. It is such a classic, flattering shape! I inserted a centered zipper at the center back and finished off the waist with a strip of bias binding.
I used the amazing Prym Iron Ruler to get a tidy hem. This ruler is absolutely brilliant! Since getting it, I have had immense success getting wonderfully even hems. It is a rather floppy ruler which is very different from what I'm used to. But if it was your normal hard plastic, it would melt under the heat of the iron. I expect to get absolutely loads of use from it.
To go with the skirt, and many other garments in my wardrobe, I also made a long sleeved t-shirt using the Agnes pattern by Tilly and the Buttons. With cold weather already approaching, I have long needed more winter appropriate clothes. This grey top, while slightly boring, is extremely versatile! I can wear it with pretty much anything including underneath many of my summer dresses. That means that I am able to get so much more wear out of my clothes!
The fabric I used is a medium weight Ponte Knit Fabric. It has a decent amount of stretch, but is quite warm. I have noticed that the outline of my camisole is visible underneath the shirt. Although it isn't ideal, it doesn't bother me enough to not wear it. Plus if I layer it, no one will notice!
I have already worn these garments many times. I love that I can wear them together as a cute outfit, but they also slip seamlessly into regular rotation amongst my other clothes. I love wearing the skirt with my other Agnes tees and simple button-up shirts. I can wear the shirts tucked or untucked and it looks cute either way. And, as I mentioned before, the tee is enabling me to wear some of my favorite summer dresses all year round. Overall, I think these will be some of the most worn projects I have made for Minerva Crafts.

I posted this on another forum so please bear with me if you frequent both forums:
I'm in the process of vacillating between the Canon S3 and the upcoming Olympus 550 UZ. My main goal is to have as much zoom as possible in a camera that takes very good videos also.
A compromise has occurred to me and I wonder if I'm missing something. If I buy the Canon S3 with 12x (36-432) zoom and add a 1.5X teleconverter, it looks like I would have more zoom than the Olympus 550UZ with the 18x (28-504) zoom.
I also am guessing that I could attach the TC for my trips to Yellowstone and just leave it attached. I've never used or seen a TC but am guessing the camera can be adjusted so the AF etc works normally.
Since videos are very important to me, the S3 with the TC would seem to get the nod unless there's something I'm missing. There are probably limitations to the TC thing that I haven't considered. All advice gratefully accepted.

If You can wait watch out for the latest from Sony. I already saw a new line-up of superzooms. H7 & H9, bothhave 15X optical zooms. The video quality is also good.
But if you wanna buy now, S3 is far better that 550 UZ interms of video and memory.

I actually used an S2 IS at Yellowstone with the teleconverter, and it worked extremely well. The video worked great, so I didn't need to carry along a separate video camera.
The main downside to using the TC is you have to remove it to take wide angle shots. If you zoom out too much, the barrel of the TC is visible.
The Olympus obviously wouldn't have this issue, but the video doesn't sound that great. The noise of the zoom can be heard and the image stabilization doesn't work.

More on S3 video performance, you could possibly use the digital zoom as an added feature after full exhaustion of the optical zoom. But I only tested it on the S2, it works great just like a real videocam,.

i have the canon s3is, with convertor, if you send me an email address can send some pictures i have taken with it, the problem i find, is that because i take pictures of what i like, from macro to full18x zoom, i am forever attaching and un attaching it, i was also told you have to keep altering the settings in the menu, as to wether it is on or off the camera, it does become monotonous(think that is how it is spealt) after a while, however i am happy with the results i get, however i have decided to look for another camera, with at least 4xzoom and an excellent macro to compensate for this, as i am fed up of having to attach the convertor every 5 minutes when i am out
hope this helps, alan

By Kevin G. Thew Forrester
Holding Beauty in My Soul's Arms is a guide for postmodern pilgrims seeking authentic spirituality transformation. I follow the lead offered in the wisdom tradition of early Syriac Christianity, where Jesus is known as the "Life-Giver" (Ihidaya). The Beauty of Jesus is that his life reveals how "to give life." Jesus invites us into relationships which make us alive and give us "cause to live."
In Holding Beauty in My Soul's Arms, I explore what it means for our lives to be lived from "the ground of the soul, where God's ground and the soul's ground are one ground" (Meister Eckhart). We revisit some of the pivotal self-defining stories of the scriptures and the lives of the saints and mystics, seeking their meaning for us when read from the experience and wisdom of our gracious at-one-ment.
I begin by developing an "integral sacramental theology," which is a theology that recognizes the graced core of creation and deliberately respects, receives, and converses with the various disciplines that study four dimensions of existence: individual and collective, internal and external.
I then practice this integral sacramental theology as we discover anew how the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, along with the stories of the saints and mystics, invite us to be transformed, awakening to the truth of our gracious one common ground.
All too often tribal division divides Christian from Christian, as well as Christians from persons of other spiritual paths. All too often baptism is experienced as a ritual of separation and division, not conformation of union. Holding Beauty in My Soul's Arms is an invitation to discover that the baptismal waters dissolve illusionary walls separating sacred and profane, pure and impure.
Along with Nicholas Cusa, the 15th century German mystic, we are invited to discover our own prophetic and dissident voice: "God…is the enfolding of all in the sense that all are in God, and God is the unfolding in the sense that God is in all."
I introduce Spiral Dynamics and the Enneagram as rich resources for helping us to realize personally, communally, and systemically, that health and wholeness is not a matter of ritual purity, but of primordial unity confirmed in baptism.
Holding Beauty in My Soul's Arms invites us all to dig deep and "mine the subterranean
." In the process we may well discover that we, like Jesus, are transformed into life-givers, because we, also, directly experience our at-one-ment. river of Christianity
What a beautiful gift it is when theology itself becomes a rich language that satisfies and enlivens anew. We are courageously drawn out again into the deep, where the grace of God invites marvelous discoveries, none more breathtaking than the realization that we, too, are beloved. Our souls awaken and know God as surely as the taste of fresh water on the tongue.

Lambert out to prove critics wrong in Stars' bid for Premiership final
PUBLISHED: 06:00 01 October 2018
Archant 2018
Simon Lambert reckons King's Lynn's success is one in the eye for the detractors ahead of this evening's date with destiny at the Adrian Flux Arena (7.30).
The Stars lead Belle Vue by eight points going into the home second leg in this season's SGB Premiership semi-final.
It comes on the back of Dale Allitt's men topping the pile for the first time since joining British speedway's elite with Boston-born Lambert keen to play his part from reserve.
"People wrote us off at the start of the year, it was similar at Peterborough but both teams I am riding for are sat top of the tree," said Lambert.
"You get the critics but together we have done our talking on the track. You get all of these keyboard warriors but the answer is simple – come and try riding.
"I have been in and out at King's Lynn but that doesn't really matter, I still want to do well and am proud to represent the club.
"Everyone is pulling their weight and hopefully we can bring home the silverware."
The Stars head into the clash with a full one to seven against the injury-hit Aces who will run a six-man team.
It has been confirmed however that Craig Cook will not be among them due to ongoing problems with the wrist injury he sustained at the German GP and will sit out of their semi-final decider.
Swindon's Tobiasz Musielak will guest for injury victim Dan Bewley at No.5 and Coty Garcia comes in at No.7 in place of Mark Riss, with Rider Replacement remaining in play at No.2 for Cook.
Skipper Max Fricke said: "As far as I'm concerned, the pressure's off us. We go there with nothing to lose and everything to gain from this next leg.
"They have the advantage but we've still got gas in the tank and everything to play for, and we're going to throw absolutely everything at this to pull it back and give them a run for their money."
Meanwhile, Stars skipper Robert Lambert finished third in the 2018 FIM World Under-21 Championship. Lambert's runners-up spot in Pardubice on Friday secured the bronze medal position for the second time in his career – but on this occasion with 12 more points than he had collected in 2016.
King's Lynn: Robert Lambert, Erik Riss, Ty Proctor, Thomas Jorgensen, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Michael Palm Toft, Simon Lambert.
Belle Vue: Max Fricke, Craig Cook R/R, Steve Worrall, Rohan Tungate, Tobiasz Musielak (G), Dimitri Bergé, Coty Garcia (G); TM: Mark Lemon

Today we're going to deal with one of the most important aspects of flying – And that's the music you listen to while you do it!
Sure, there are more important things – like safety – but the fact remains that putting together the right soundtrack can make your flying even more inspiring. There are three aircraft at Tradewinds Aviation on the field at Pontiac, Michigan, where I fly that have auxiliary audio inputs. A three-dollar cable from Radio Shack is all I need to plug my iPod or CD player into the intercom loop of the plane and listen to music while I fly.
Now bear in mind that safety comes first. If the music results in any chance of a miscommunication or failure to give or receive a communication necessary for the safety of the flight, leave your music player at home. But if you can manage the volume of the player, not have to fumble with it when your should be doing other things (playlists Are helpful here), and satisfy yourself that you can hear and be heard in the cockpit and at the controller's workstation (such as my using a squelch or cutout feature like I use), by all means add a soundtrack to your flight.
Here's what has been in my CD player and, more recently, my iPod, while I fly.
Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkiyries, is ubiquitous in flying of all kinds. Every trip around the pattern is a majestic sojurn when this performance, by the Royal Memorial Orchestra that appears on the album "Music from the War Movies" is playing in your headset. The melodies have been used in movies from The Blues Brothers to Apocalypse Now, always to good effect. Shouted comments about whom the music scares and how much are entirely up to you. This music is the essence of flight.
The 1970s Latin vibe of War's Low Rider gets a hard-driving treatment worthy of fighter jets by guitar god Gary Hoey in this version from his Wake Up Call outing. Known to many for his bone-crunchng send-ups of holiday favorites, Gary lends his chops to make this tune ideal for take-offs. Not bad for low airwork either! The key change halfway through is a little contrived, but the underlying groove is unbeatable. If I ever get the chance to fly turbine aircraft, this is definitely going to be on the menu.
Make your next flight a flying circus with Cirque du Soleil's Svecounia from the soundtrack to "O." The first fifty seconds are a little annoying, as is the reappearance of that theme toward the end, but the sixteenth-note percussion, the great sonic range, and the female vocals make it natural for flight. I have no idea what the words mean. I gather that they're in French. But I don't care if they're about taking out the trash. This music is flight itself. And if you happen to represent or hire new screenwriters, I have a great screenplay to pitch to you. This music is that evocative. Stories flow into your head when you hear it. Stories of hope and of redemption and of the reason that we fly.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are noted the world over for blending eclectic and nontraditional styles to make really great music. This is The Big Blink from Left of Cool. Here again, the sixteenth-note arpeggios and edgy mood make it perfect for listening to on long, straight-in ILS approaches. Unless I miss my guess, music theory afficianados will recognize this as being in the middle-eastern-sounding Locrian mode, which is neither major nor minor and therefore provides a perfect working space for the Flecktones. Most of the tune is in an even time signature, but it blasts into three or five in places, which is delight for those who like music with squirrelly change-ups. Will you see the runway before decision height? Do you remember the missed approach procedure? Could you land the space shuttle if you had to?
Van Halen made only one video for the band's 5150 album. That was a big risk in 1986 when the band had just changed lead singers after a long run with one of the most notable names in rock vocals, David Lee Roth. The chips were down for Sammy, MJike, Eddie, and Alex, but they instead concentrated on the music. And did I mention that they didn't even appear in the one video they made? The video consists entirely of footage of the Blue Angels, the United States Navy and Marines' jet demonstration team. Anyway, those images are absolutely unmistakable and unforgettable. An F/A-18 rotating out of ground effect and the compression around the wings turning the atmosphere to a fleeting shroud of vapor – Then a six-gee vertical climb. Anyway, the ethereal intro, the driving rhythm line, and the backstory of a band that, like the Blue Angels, is completely focused on the core of their craft, make this essential listening for any flight playlist.
I am by no means a New Age fan. Most of it takes almost no talent to play and it's way over-produced. But there's something to be said about the ability to compose compelling melodies, phrasings, harmonies, and tonal colorings. Enya does just that with Book of Days. It started out on the album Shepherd Moons in Gaelic, but her label substituted an English vocal track for releases after 1992. Either way, it's about the music here. The music is evocative of flight and of challenges to be faced. Maybe that's why it was used to evoke the broad spirit of the newly-opened American west in the film Far and Away.
Lest you think that I'm all about bombast and music requiring electricity, here's a slice of the best acoustic music available anywhere. This is Raining at Sunset from Chris Thile's 2000 outing called Not All Who Wander Are Lost. You may have heard of Chris as a third of the acoustic trio Nickel Creek. That's where I first heard of him and, while there are no flies on Sean or Sara Watkins, Chris is the driving force of the trio. I am absolutely not exaggerating when I say that he's the best mandolinist on the planet. Listen to the precision here. It's unreal. And that's Edgar Meyer, Stuart Duncan, and Jerry Douglas, among others, playing with him. This is the lilting melody for quiet cruise flight – low and slow and looking down at the places you love. This is also a reminder of the technical skill and competence that it takes to fly an aircraft well. I am not one to gush over small talent or middling achievement. This is perhaps the most treasured album in my collection. I have bought it perhaps ten times to give to friends. Take a listen. [And see www.nickelcreek.com and www.greenandgray.net.]

OZ, Cassini Formalize West Musgrave Joint Venture
OZ Minerals has signed a joint-venture earn-in agreement with Cassini Resources that allows OZ to earn up to a 70% interest in the West Musgrave copper-nickel project in a remote area of east-central West Australia. Initial work will focus on an A$3 million scoping study to identify a commercial pathway to begin mining the Nebo-Babel deposits on the project, currently Australia's largest undeveloped copper-nickel resource.
OZ will begin a diamond core-drilling program in November to collect new samples for metallurgical studies to recover copper and nickel from the Nebo-Babel deposits. (Photo: OZ Minerals)
The initial study will set out both the appropriate size of any future mine and optimal infrastructure solutions to support the project. The study is scheduled for completion in September 2017.
The West Musgrave earn-in agreement is structured in three phases. After the initial scoping study, OZ may earn a 51% interest in the project by sole funding an additional A$15 million within 18 months toward completion of a prefeasibility study and the start of a definitive feasibility study (DFS), as well as sole-funding at least A$4 million for regional exploration over the same 18-month period.
Following this 18-month period, OZ may earn an additional 19% interest, for a total 70% interest, by sole funding a further A$10 million within a 12-month period toward completion of the DFS and a further A$4 million on regional exploration.
An extensive regional exploration database will enable targets to be rapidly assessed and tested.
As part of the geometallurgical modeling, work will begin in November on a 700-meter (m) PQ diamond core-drilling program to collect new samples for further metallurgical test work aimed at improving recoveries of both copper and nickel from the Nebo-Babel deposits. A reverse-circulation drilling program will also be undertaken of potential high-grade extensions to the already estimated 200 million metric tons (mt) of ore at greater than 1.3% copper equivalent.
The West Musgrave project includes the Nebo-Babel copper-nickel sulphide deposits and the Succoth copper deposit. The Nebo-Babel deposits lie with 50 m of the surface and are flat, shallow-dipping ore bodies, with the higher-grade mineralization occurring at the top.
Since 2000, the deposits have been subject to an estimated A$100 million in exploration studies, including more than 75,000 m of drilling in 307 drill holes; metallurgical test work; and environmental and scoping studies.
Commissioning Commences at Nova Nickel-copper Project
Independence Group began commissioning the processing plant at its 100% owned Nova nickel-copper project in southern Western Australia in mid-October, approximately four weeks ahead of schedule. Construction was completed on October 10, and crushing and milling of ore began on October 14.
In the Nova underground mine, approximately 8 kilometers (km) of development had been completed as of mid-October, and some 85,000 mt of ore at an average grade of 1.5% nickel and 0.7% copper had been mined from development and stockpiled on the run-of-mine stockpile. Mining of the first stope began in September in an area defined by grade-control drilling and outside of the current mineral resource model.
Grade-control drilling underground using three drill rigs is progressing faster than planned, and sufficient drilling has been completed to reconcile the resource model between the 2080 and 2030 levels in the mine.
The Nova mine is accessed via a decline. Production is processed through a 1,500-mt/d plant that includes conventional crushing, grinding by an open-circuit SAG mill followed by a ball mill in closed circuit, and sulphide flotation to produce separate nickel and copper concentrates.
After ramping up to full production, the project will produce 27,000 mt/y to 30,000 mt/y of nickel, 9,000 mt/y to 10,000 mt/y of copper, and 900 mt/y to 1,000 mt/y of cobalt in concentrates. Concentrates will be trucked both to Nickel West's processing facilities at Kambalda and to the port of Esperance for export. The haul distances are 294 km to Kambalda and 380 km to Esperance.
The current JORC-compliant mineral resource totals 14.3 million mt, grading 2.3% nickel, 0.9% copper and 0.08% cobalt.
Independence Group acquired the Nova project when it acquired Sirius Resources in 2015 in a transaction valued at about A$1.8 billion.
