Agriculture and Resource Development
Manitoba's Mineral Industry
Exploration and Development Highlights 2003
Base Metals
Platinum-Group Metals
Specialty/Industrial Minerals
Preliminary estimates for exploration and deposit appraisal expenditures in Manitoba for 2003 are $30.0 million; comparable to the $29.9 million spent in 2002. The resurgence and stabilization in the price of gold above $300 per ounce in 2002 resulted in a dramatic increase in exploration spending for the yellow metal in Manitoba in 2003. However, the province's proven potential for hosting world-class copper-zinc and nickel deposits continued to account for the bulk of mining exploration related expenditures.
The total area of mining claims, exploration permits, special exploration permits and mineral exploration licences in 2002 was 2 464 233 ha, an increase from 2 052 604 ha in 2001 and 1 832 577 in 2000. The total area of mineral dispositions and leases in good standing at the end of 2002 was 2 621 219 ha compared to 3 667 145 ha in 2001 and 2 757 482 at the end of 2000. Surface exploration diamond drilling in 2002 was 78 346 m, slightly down from 78 925 m in 2001.
Base Metals
Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting continued with the final phase of the 777 Project, the development of the 777 mine. The $400 million project that commenced in 2000 consisted of 6 components, which included expansion and upgrading projects at the Flin Flon metallurgical plant and development of two new underground mines. Sinking of the new 1530-m shaft at the 777 mine in Flin Flon was completed in 2002. Lateral development to the ore lenses was underway throughout 2003 and full production of 1 million tonnes per year is expected by 2004. The 777 deposit contains mineable reserves and resources of 14.5 million tonnes grading 4.56% Zn, 2.5% Cu and precious metals. Hudson Bay Exploration and Development continued to drill-test SPECTREM airborne targets in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake Belt as well as beneath the Paleozoic in the Hargrave Lake-Moose Lake area.
Bell Resources conducted drilling at their Cleaver Lake property east of Flin Flon and tested a recently discovered high-grade copper showing. On an adjacent property, Interactive Enterprises drill-tested geophysical conductors. Aur Resources completed drilling at their Big Island Lake property just east of Flin Flon.
Inco Exploration conducted geophysical surveys and completed drilling in the Setting Lake area and on other high-priority targets in the Thompson Nickel Belt. In Thompson, Inco continued to explore the lower portion of the 1D Phase 2 orebody. The company, its employees, and the union, are working together to reduce operating costs at the mine to make the 1D project more attractive for capital investment.
Nuinsco Resources and partner Inco completed additional geophysical surveys and drilling on the Mel property northwest of Thompson. The drill program was designed to test geophysical targets located within favourable Thompson-type stratigraphy. Massive to disseminated sulphides were intersected within the favourable host rocks, but no significant assays were reported.
Falconbridge and partner Donner Minerals completed geophysics and drilling at their Stephens Lake property near Gillam. The area is extensively covered by overburden and is suspected to contain an extension of the Thompson Nickel Belt. Drilling by a previous property holder intersected ultramafic rocks while exploring for diamonds in the area. Drilling by Falconbridge intersected a thick interval of sulphide iron formation. Both rock units are key ingredients for formation of Thompson-type nickel deposits. Further work was dependent on detailed analysis of drillcore and additional geophysics.
Anglo American Exploration (Canada) acquired a substantial land position in the Thompson area over the last couple of years. The company completed a winter program of geophysics and drilling on their Rock Lake permit north of Thompson. A summer mapping program was conducted on their permit southeast of Thompson in the Wintering Lake area.
In early September, Rare Earth Metals Corp. announced a new nickel-copper discovery 60 km northeast of Leaf Rapids. The discovery straddles a provincial highway and initial grab samples from the mineralized zone returned up to 2.47% nickel and 2.72% copper as well as cobalt, gold and PGE values. Rare Earth has an option to earn a 100% interest in the property.
Platinum Group Metals
Gossan Resources completed a 12-hole drill program on their Bird River Sill property near Lac du Bonnet. Drilling intersected narrow sulphidic intervals containing 1 to 2.5 grams combined PGE and gold. The company recently acquired the adjacent Page property. Mapping at the Page property, conducted by the Manitoba Geological Survey in 2001, identified disrupted chromitite layers that have a correlation with PGE-bearing sulphides of the Bird River Sill.
Gold exploration expenditures in 2002 more than doubled to almost $7.6 million from 3.3 million in 2001. It's expected that this upward trend in spending will continue for 2003 and into 2004 as the bullish sentiment for gold persists.
Bema Gold's Monument Bay project in northeastern Manitoba returned some very encouraging results in 2003. The company conducted an extensive winter drill campaign that focussed largely on the recently discovered Twin Lakes West zone and included intercepts of 7.9 m of 10.77 g/t and 1.0 m of 180.7 g/t gold. Drilling on this zone extended the known mineralized horizons from 170 m to 400 m along strike. The winter drill campaign increased the inferred resource by 30% from previous working estimates to 639 377 tonnes averaging 20.4 g/t representing 418,000 ounces of contained gold. Bema also conducted a summer mapping and geochemical sampling program and additional drilling was underway in August. Bema has now earned a 70% interest in the Monument Bay property from Wolfden Resources.
International Curator Resources and partner Rare Earth Metals Corp. completed 3750 metres of drilling at their Assean Lake gold property. Curator, the operator, reported the discovery of a new gold occurrence at Blowfish Lake that returned 6.2 m of 5.69 g/t gold. Drilling also further tested the BIF zone and selected geophysical and geochemical anomalies over a wide area of the property. Reconnaissance drilling intersected significant gold mineralization in 5 holes, including the Blowfish occurrence. There are now a total of 8 gold showings at Assean Lake over the extensively clay-covered 12-kilometre strike length of the Assean Lake Shear Zone.
In the Flin Flon-Snow Lake Belt, Foran Mining conducted bulk sampling and drilling programs at their North Star property located 35 km west of Snow Lake. Quartz veins at the North Star property contain coarse gold and exhibit the typical nugget effect. Metallurgical results from blast-hole samples taken during the bulk sampling returned head grades ranging from 7.5 to 16.5 g/t gold. Some of the better drill intersections from the 48-hole program included 33.5 g/t gold over 2.19 m and 24.0 g/t gold over 2.50 m. Environmental studies were being carried out and Foran was seeking additional financing to proceed with underground development.
Other companies conducting drill programs in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake Belt included First Majestic Resources at their Wekusko property and Claude Resources at their Tartan Lake mine property near Flin Flon. First Majestic completed 14 holes at Wekusko extending the strike length of the existing Gold Dust zone. Conigas Resources completed linecutting at their Squall Lake option property near Snow Lake. The property contains a number of known gold zones and has a long history of exploration work.
In the Lynn Lake area, Trans America Industries conducted an extensive trenching and mapping program at their Arbour Lake property. The trenching work revealed highly-silicified and intensely deformed carbonate-enriched bedrock. A winter drill program is being planned.
In northeastern Manitoba, Tanqueray Resources and Gossan Resources conducted mapping and sampling programs on their respective permit properties in the Sharpe Lake area, just west of Bema Gold's Monument Bay property. Gossan intends to explore the PGE potential of a 6-km long layered sequence of gabbro and pyroxenite on their property.
In the Bissett area of southeastern Manitoba, Placer Dome conducted a mapping and sampling program on the Central Manitoba property, which is under option from Mid-North Resources. The property contains two former producing gold mines, the Central Manitoba and Ogama-Rockland mines, as well as the Cryderman occurrence that has received substantial exploration activity. Other companies conducting mapping and sampling programs in the Bissett area included Gossan Resources at the Angelina property and Wildcat Exploration at their Poundmaker and Siderock Lake properties.
A significant mineral disposition acquired near Red Deer Lake indicated renewed interest in west-central Manitoba as a potential source for diamonds. Manitoba Geological Survey investigations have reported airborne magnetic anomalies in this region similar to those found just across the border in Saskatchewan, where kimberlites have been discovered. The search for diamonds also continues in the northern Superior Province and Hudson Bay Lowland. Land acquisitions for diamond exploration totalled 951,600 hectares as of September 2003.
Specialty/Industrial Minerals
Tantalum Mining Corporation continued exploration for tantalum- and cesium-bearing pegmatites in the Bernic Lake area in southeastern Manitoba.
A preliminary surface exploration program carried out by Rare Earth Metals Corp. at their Eden Lake project located 35 km northwest of Leaf Rapids led to the discovery of a large carbonatite complex. The complex is particularly significant due to its rare earth element (REE) enrichments over an extensive area. Several mineralization types with economic potential were identified, including high-grade veins, carbonatite dikes, fenitic selvages of the carbonatite dikes, and altered syenite and other host rocks. The highest REE concentrations encountered were in the dikes (up to 1.6 % total REE, 9764 ppm Sr and 745 ppm Y) and in hydrothermal REE-rich veins (up to 13.8 % total REE, 5307 ppm Y and 5465 ppm Th + U).
Berger Group Ltd. continued to develop a sphagnum peat bog, 20 km south of Hadashville in southeastern Manitoba. Sunterra Horticulture (Canada) Inc. leased a bog 10 km south of The Narrows on the west shore of Lake Winnipeg. The bog was prepared for production and shipping facilities were almost completed.
Gossan Resources drilled five holes at Sandridge increasing reserves of magnesium ore to 100 million tonnes. A 75-kilogram bulk sample was flown to Mintek Engineering in South Africa for metallurgical characterization to verify potential suitability for the production of magnesium using the thermal process.
In 2002, Albchem Manitoba Ltd. completed construction of a 40,000 tonne per year sodium chlorate plant at Hargrave (10 km west of Virden). Raw material for the plant is salt dissolved from the Devonian Prairie Evaporite at depth. The site was selected because of its proximity to the salt deposit and favourable hydro rates. ERCO Worldwide, a division of Superior Plus Inc., purchased the plant in 2003.
Graymont Western Canada Inc. continued to quarry high-calcium limestone and high-purity dolomite in Manitoba's Interlake. The limestone is situated within the Devonian Elm Point Formation near Faulkner. It is calcined into high-calcium lime in a plant adjacent to the quarry. The dolomite is located at Hilbre and is trucked to the plant where it is calcined into dolime.
Bird River Mines Co. Ltd. continued development of a deposit of high-purity, non-swelling calcium bentonite near Deerwood, 8 km northwest of Miami, Manitoba.
At Brandon, Nexen Inc. completed a $50 million, 70 000 tonne per year expansion of its sodium chlorate facility. Salt for the process is purchased from Saskatchewan potash producers.

Street seller left with 250 unsold Pokemon toys is saved by social media
Take a beloved, cancer-stricken soft toy seller in Kuala Lumpur. He's known only by "Uncle David" and for the last 15 years he's been selling soft toys in front of the HSBC Damansara Uptown branch.
Take a mischievous customer, who reserved 250 Pokemon toys but never showed up to collect them, leaving Uncle David with more plushies than he could sell.
Now enter social media.
Blogger Vivian Tok saw the man in distress and posted a message in Chinese on Facebook calling on fellow Malaysians to support "Uncle David".
"Those who like playing Pokémon Go, don't waste your time playing the game. Please help Uncle David, someone ordered 250 Pokemon toys from him but never turned up to collect them. Now poor Uncle David's hard-earned money is stuck with his stock. Please share this post and help him," the post read.
And the Malaysians responded.
Vivian's message went viral on Facebook and was reblogged on other social platforms. Local media picked up the story, sharing Uncle David's Google Maps location.
Soon, netizens gathered in that area of Kuala Lumpur to buy off the toys and posted their experiences on Instagram.
Only pokemon lover know what i feel 😍😍😍😍😍 I got Charmender, I got Squirtle, i got Zorua, i got Igglypuff, i got Marril, i got Shinx for just RM10 each with a good quality plush toys... bought from uncle infront of HSBC Uptown Damansara #pokemonmalaysia #pokemongo #pokemon #shinx #marril #charmender #igglypuff #zorua #plushyoys #uptowndamansara #hsbc
I look at this everyday and it reminds me to be grateful for the things that I have, because someone out there is fighting for their life today. I am so happy that Soft Toy Uncle David was able to sell all of his 250 pokemon! If you haven't seen the news, check it out below... See if you spot a familiar face =) http://bit.ly/2d2WzFM http://bit.ly/2cnqful
Uncle David, whose full name is David Christopher, told the BBC the response had been "fantastic".
"Within two hours, 190 toys were sold and eventually the balance was also sold," he said.
"If people want to cheat, I can't do anything about it. But I thank social media as it helped to boost my sales and I am thankful for everyone who came down."
Sales are so high that Uncle David is now struggling to cope with the demand.
"In fact, I have been selling Pokemon, but before Pokemon went viral… I hardly sell 50 in a week," he told Malay Mail online. "Then suddenly it went viral. When it went viral, I was selling 300 a day, but now I have reached a stage where I'm selling about 1,000 already for the last three days."

Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct - https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct
[SOLVED] Play sound using qml in resource on Symbian
I'm getting crazy with that!!!
I've tried to use SoundEffect or Audio qml tag within qml located in resource (also the audio file was in a resource file).
I've tried in C++ using a real audio file (copying it with DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS) and QMediaPlayer: the file path was correct but I have not heard anything!
I'm in process of create an app fpr both symbian and meego, so I want to use the same code (on MeeGo, using qml and sound files in the resource works just with SoundEffect tag; the same doesn't work on symbian).
How can I achieve that??
I've tested it on a nokia x7 and c7
Thank you
I am also using the QML SoundEffect and Audio element from QtMultimediaKit 1.1 for both Symbian and Meego for a game. From my experience, they both work with the same code. However, Meego has some troubles with multiple simultaneous sound effects while a background music (Audio) is playing.
Maybe your issues have something to do with the audio sampling rate or frequency? The background music I'm using for the Audio element has a frequency of 48kHz and 128kbit quantization, the file format is mp3. An example for a working sound effect is a wav file with 44.1kHz, 1 channel and 16 bits per sample.
These audio files are loaded with the DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS approach, so not from the resource file.
I hope that helps?
Hi, thank you for your help...
I have some experience on symbian and meego handling sounds; I've done a game using sounds as you said, but in the case of qml within resource, that works only on meego! i don't know why.
If the qml isn't in resource file, the DEPLOYEMNTFOLDERS works very well!
As I told, i've tried to copy sounds in to device and open that (always in qml within resource) without success!
Why the same tecnique doesn't work for both?!
I'm afraid I dont know why playing from resources isnt working on Symbian.. Is just using the deploymentfolders approach not an option for you?
So as a recap:
- sounds & qml as deploymentfolders -> works on Symbian & meego
- qml in resource, sound not in resource but with deploymentfolders -> does NOT work on symbian, but works on meego
- what about both, the qml file and sound file in resource?
It's very difficult to recap;
In my experience, on Symbian I've always used qml and sounds as normal files and not in resources; on the other side, on Meego I've always used qml and sounds as resources;
i'm not crazy if I did that...I suppose that on meego works both method!
1- Sounds & qml as deploymentfolders: valid for Symbian & Meego
2- Qml in resources and sounds on deploymentfolders doesn't work for both (on Symbian sure!)
3- Actually, qmls & sounds in resources work only for Meego
I think that is because when you use qml/js in resource and use relative path for sounds, it translate absolute path as "qrc:/bla/bla.wav"
Yes you are right, based on the setMainQmlFile() call (in case you are using the QmlApplicationViewer), the baseUrl of the QDeclarativeEngine is set. So if you call setMainQmlFile(":/main.qml"), every qml file, image or sound file is prepended with ":/".
So the easiest approach to me seems, to just use deploymentfolders on both platforms. If that is not an option, you could use qml & sounds in the resources for Meego, and from deploymentfolders for Symbian. So you could decide at runtime which one to use like this:
#if defined(Q_OS_SYMBIAN)
// on symbian use the copied files with DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS
#elif defined(MEEGO_EDITION_HARMATTAN)
// on meego use the resources
// for desktop, whatever you prefer
Sure...nice, maybe it could be a good idea!!
[quote author="feldifux" date="1342621086"]
So you could decide at runtime which one to use
I've used this way and even is a huge solution (resources and files) it works very well on both!!

As part of its 20th anniversary celebration, Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica will present a combination of dance, theater, puppetry and animation with two intermedia parables for the 21st century, Oh My Tiger and Ocean/Flight Friday through Sunday, May 29th through 31st.
Performances are scheduled at 8:30 p.m. May 29th and 30th, and at 7:30 p.m. May 31st, at Highways, 1651 18th St., Santa Monica.
Director/choreographer Mira Kingsley and playwright Sibyl O'Malley continue their adventures in materials of a humble, human scale that are capable of "astonishing and courageous transformations" with Oh My Tiger, a Highways spokesman says. The story of radical activism tells of a young man who feeds himself to a starving mother Tiger.
Ocean/Flight, created by innovative theater director Chi-wang Yang, uses the story of aviator Charles Lindbergh's revolutionary solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean to—examine the modern-day bond with technology, and how much people are willing to surrender in the name of progress.
Oh My Tiger brings to life a Tibetan Buddhist tale using spoken language, dance, puppetry, and sound. The original myth tells of three princely brothers out for a day of jubilant flower-picking who come upon a mysterious forest and a very hungry tiger. Moved by a love beyond self, the youngest brother chooses to feed his own body to the starving tiger and her five cubs.
The performance seeks to challenge the limits of compassion while exposing the transcendent potential, the Highways spokesman said. Performers appear on stage as formal characters, as "look-you-in-the-eye" storytellers and as their human selves.
Director Kingsley is dedicated to the collaborative creation of new interdisciplinary works for live performance with a focus on the intersection between dance and theater.
Heralded as one of the most innovative new voices on the American stage, director Chi-wang Yang and team present the first installment of Ocean/Flight, a new intermedia parable for the 21st century. Chi-wang was the recipient of the 2006 Princess Grace Award for Theater Directing.
Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for members, students and seniors. The Saturday, May 30th performance benefits Highways. For reservations or to buy tickets, (310) 315-1459 or www.highwaysperformance.org/.

FabI ordered these for my bridesmaids and I have to say I was not disappointed. The quality is fab and and all of my bridesmaids love them. They fitted perfectly and I didn't need to return a single pair. I have an event in a few weeks time and will definitely be returning for a pair for myself. Very happy!

Five StarsLove these sandals. The Snake effect is just what I was looking for and the fit is just right. Brilliant value for money, I was very impressed with the quality. I've just ordered a pair for my daughter as she loves them just as much as I do! Highly recommend to all.

Great shoesI bought these for my graduation and they were fab. The colour is lovely and matched my dress perfectly. I had a lot of walking to do and as someone who doesn't wear heels very often, was worried that they wouldn't last the day but I had no problems. The heel height is just right! The material has a really nice finish to it and I was very impressed with the overall quality. I ordered my usual size and after half an hour or so of wearing them in at home, the fitting was great. Very happy!

Five StarsBeautiful shoes. I ordered these on a whim as I needed a pair for a last minute weekend away and I love them. They fitted me well and were nice and comfortable. They look great on and the quality is superb for the price. I would definitely recommend them, excellent value for money.

Happy customerVery pleased with these sandals. I wore them to a wedding and they were comfortable all day. I normally suffer with sore feet towards the end of a long day but these were great. The colour was just the shade I was looking for and the faux suede is lovely and soft. For me the fitting was just right but for someone who has wider feet they may be slightly too narrow. I have another event later in the year and I'll definitely be back for another colour!

Crescent ♒ Aquarius
Moon phase on 29 November 2030 Friday is Waxing Crescent, 5 days young Moon is in Aquarius.Share this page: twitter facebook linkedin
Waxing Crescent is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 24% and growing larger. The 5 days young Moon is in ♒ Aquarius.
Saturday Sat
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 4 days on 25 November 2030 at 06:46.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1944" and ∠1946".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2030 after 10 days on 9 December 2030 at 22:40.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 5 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 382 of Meeus index or 1335 from Brown series.
Length of current 382 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 46 minutes. It is 13 minutes shorter than next lunation 383 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 58 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 11 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠349.8°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠5.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
3 days after point of perigee on 25 November 2030 at 21:07 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 10 December 2030 at 10:03 in ♊ Gemini.
Moon is 368 745 km (229 128 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 371 km (252 507 mi).
3 days after its ascending node on 25 November 2030 at 13:32 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 9 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 9 December 2030 at 01:17 in ♊ Gemini.
3 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
3 days after previous South standstill on 26 November 2030 at 06:20 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-21.903°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠21.909° in the next northern standstill on 9 December 2030 at 22:37 in ♊ Gemini.
After 10 days on 9 December 2030 at 22:40 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

The recently opened ZOOM retail store in Bahrain will provide round the clock services to the residents of the region. The store will cater to all domestic needs of the residents including fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and all other grocery items. Additionally, the store also offers "Pronto", a new concept introduced by ENOC Retail that offers fresh tea, coffee and pastries.
Burhan Al Hashemi, ENOC's Managing Director of Retail in a statement said that ZOOM stores offer a unique experience that stands out from the rest of the retail market. He said delivering high quality and maintaining efficiency is an integral part of the store philosophy. Burhan Al Hashemi thanked the Bukhowa Investments Holding for partnering with them to open the new store, which has enabled growth in the GCC region. In order to accelerate growth, the company has franchised its outlets to its partners. In the next 5 years, the store plans to open 260 franchise stores in the region. The new ZOOM store is located in the Al Fateh service station in Juffair.
Since the launch of ENOC Retail, 170 ZOOM convenience stores have been opened which are part of service station network and Dubai Metro Stations, in addition to 22 ZOOM market stores across UAE at various locations.
ENOC Retail has built a reputation for proving high quality customer experience by offering speedy transactions and convenience. Currently ENOC Retail employs more than 4,000 employees.

Apple and Google have both introduced counting mechanisms into their phone operating systems, the idea being that you can check out how much time you've spent doing stuff. I assume that this sort of existed in Android, since you've been able to see what apps are sucking your battery or data usage. Now there's a user interface around it all, so you can let the phone give you the cold hard truth about what you're doing with it.
The numbers aren't great. I tend to spend on average about two hours per day looking at that damn thing, though I can reasonably assert that at least half of that is in the evenings when I'm hanging out, or winding down before bed. On weekdays, I get a staggering 150+ notifications, which I'm sure are mostly email and Slack (which I'm starting to realize is the new email, but maybe even less useful). I unlock the phone way less than I would expect, averaging around 30 times per day.
The actual time per app though is what really frightens me. How can I spend 20 minutes in a day looking at Instagram? (Answer: dr.woo and #bluehair.) I don't even follow that many people, and I don't post everyday. Facebook is another offender, but usually only on days when I'm out posting selfies with my family and we're doing stuff. I have notifications for all social media turned off because I don't need the distraction (Slack might be coming next). I don't play games very often, but when I do, they're just time wasters before bed or doing my business. Those often account for 15 minutes or more, but let's say those runs are relative to, er, runs? Gross.
To my credit, I have become better about not pulling out the damn thing every time I risk being bored for 30 seconds. Like if I'm in line to buy a burrito, I'd rather people watch, or when I'm really challenging myself, to other humans. About burritos. I'm very conscious about having it out around Simon when we're doing stuff, like a father-son theme park trip. It's starting to become less about being present, and more about the realization that nothing on the phone is really enriching my life. I don't get people who spend half their day arguing with people on the Twitter about how wrong they are.
Smart phones are definitely important tools to have, but they're also time sucks that prevent one from interacting with life as it happens around you. I see it with people at restaurants and at theme parks, and it makes me sad. I use mine to take photos a ton, and from there I get in, do what I intend, and get out. I hope others do the same.

Action: Provide supplementary food for pigeons to increase reproductive success
Key messagesRead our guidance on Key messages before continuing
A replicated cross-over study in the UK found no differences in reproductive parameters of European turtle doves Streptopelia turtur between years when food was supplied and those when it was not.
Supporting evidence from individual studies
A replicated cross-over study in 1999-2000 in ten mixed agricultural and natural habitat sites in Norfolk and Suffolk, England (Browne & Aebischer 2002), found that European turtle dove Streptopelia turtur reproductive success, territory size or territory density did not differ between years when supplementary food was provided and control (unfed) years (24 nests studied, daily survival rates of 79-97% for fed nests vs. 85-98 for unfed). However, doves were frequently observed eating the food. The authors argue that the experimental sites were too small (mostly 200-400 ha) to affect the wide-ranging doves.

I wanted to ask you a question... I remember seeing online a printable planner last year, I believe, and I can't remember what it was called or from where, but I recall it being pink, and having some lovely images, maybe a bicycle too.. I can't even remember if it was a homemaking planner but anyway, I thought I'd ask you if you recall anything like it or know of a resource similar. I was able to see the sample pages at the time, and there were many and I had really liked it.

The life of an affluent lawyer is dominated by his comatose wife. People keep asking about her state of health and shower him with consoling glances and embraces. When she unexpectedly wakes up, that comes to an end. Which is unbearable for this nondescript, nameless man. He actually derives his identity from this misery; without sympathy he feels empty. On the outside he remains civilised, but his manipulations to ensure he is thought pitiful acquire pathological forms. Whenever he receives sympathy, dramatic music swells; he has become addicted to it.
This offbeat tragedy is divided into acts, preceded by captions. Babis Makridis wrote this plot-driven follow-up to his debut L again with Efthimis Filippou (Dogtooth, The Lobster). The pleasant, orderly, sun-drenched world of the protagonist, played by comedian Yannis Drakopoulos, contrasts with his need for sadness and his absurd and slowly increasingly gruesome behaviour. He will inevitably go off the rails.

Most tumours demonstrate biological heterogeneity, such as regional hypoxia, angiogeneis or variable expression of growth factors. This heterogeneity commonly reflects variation in genomic features and local environmental factors such as hypoxia, which can stimulate local genetic mutation and the evolution of treatment resistant tumour cells. Heterogeneity can present as differences between tumours in different individuals but regional variations in proliferation, cell death, metabolic activity, vascular structure and other factors are also common.
Imaging offers a wide range of tools to assess both clonal and cellular heterogeneity but extensive development and optimisation is required. Experimental evidence has shown that imaging biomarkers of heterogeneity can be associated with disease progression, therapeutic response and malignancy. Despite this, information concerning heterogeneity is rarely utilised and there is no consensus concerning the choice of descriptive metrics.
Cambridge recently reported the first study using quantitative image analysis of cellular heterogeneity in breast tumours to complement genomic profiling. In order to reliably identify multi-parametric imaging signatures, which can be associated with clearly characterised genetic and micro-environmental subtypes, we must address significant technical problems associated with the accuracy and precision of calculated imaging parameters in individual pixels and the selection of heterogeneity analysis metrics.
Many image-derived biomarkers show highly variable accuracy and precision in areas with different proportional tissue constituents, signal-to-noise ratios and/or significant motion. Many imaging studies employ summary statistics for large regions of interest (ROI) to minimise the contribution from individual voxels in which estimates of individual biomarkers may be highly inaccurate.
Manchester has developed heterogeneity metrics that clearly outperform conventional summary metrics in a number of areas involving diagnosis, tumour grading and treatment response. Current work now focuses on developing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging heterogeneity metrics in preclinical models.
We will develop this theme by addressing major challenges restricting robust techniques for the quantification of tumour heterogeneity, focussing on both development of robust imaging approaches and thorough biological qualification. We intend to develop the potential of imaging-based heterogeneity measures using both MR and positron emission tomography (PET).
In order to improve the quality of reconstructed PET images, we will develop and evaluate advanced spatiotemporal models to describe radiotracer distribution that are specifically designed for application in oncology. The particular challenges associated with this are the estimation of an input function and the effects of hypoxia and diffusion on tracer distribution.
We will develop, validate and qualify statistically robust techniques for identifying tissue subtypes across individuals using multimodality data, and qualify these tissue signatures using immunohistochemical and genetic analyses. Initial studies to statistically combine data will focus on existing brain data sets with anatomical, diffusion weighted and dynamic contrast MR. The approach will then be extended to encompass PET data, evaluated in tissues affected by physiological motion. Neuro-oncological MR data will enable us to validate and test our methods.
We will integrate serial clinical imaging and biopsies (including liquid biopsies) with the aim of detecting and unravelling response/resistance induced changes to both novel agents and repurposed drugs. Immunohistochemical and genetic analysis - whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing and RNA sequencing - of biopsies will be used to qualify imaging biomarker based classifications. This will allow development of optimised and reduced clinical imaging protocols. The multi-dimensional data (genomic, automated microscopy-image analysis and radiological images) will be integrated by developing a robust integrated database and analysis pipeline with proper visualisation tools to give a systems view of cancer at diagnosis and as it evolves in response to treatment.
Heterogeneity in drug delivery represents an important mechanism of treatment resistance. We will focus initially on preclinical and clinical studies in the brain to establish analytical and imaging approaches to allow investigation of drug delivery and the interactions with radiotherapy and molecularly targeted agents. Depending on results, we anticipate the development of clinical studies in primary lung and cerebral metastatic disease.
A study in breast cancer will use clips placed during surgery to correlate 3D imaging data – including MR and PET - with histological maps of hypoxia, angiogenesis and proliferation. The use of different multiple signals should allow a closer approximation to the "ground truth" of the current biological status in different regions of a tumour.

Can someone help me with a simple I2C example with no interrupt. I tried the SDK example. But doesnt working for an external sensor (TCS3471).
I noticed that only write to sensor worked. Read from sensor is not working at all.
Hardware: FRDM KV11Z (removed R8,R9,R10) hardwired SCL and SDA to Color click - TCS3471 color light sensor with RGB LED diode
This part of the code never exited with success.(I am using cmsis i2c driver):
device_addr= 0x39, reg_addr = 0x13, rxSize is 1 byte.
static bool I2C_ReadAccelRegs(uint8_t device_addr, uint8_t reg_addr, uint8_t *rxBuff, uint32_t rxSize)
/* direction=write : start+device_write;cmdbuff;xBuff; */
/* direction=recive : start+device_write;cmdbuff;repeatStart+device_read;xBuff; */
EXAMPLE_I2C_MASTER.MasterTransmit(device_addr, ®_addr, 1, false);
while ((!nakFlag) && (!completionFlag))
nakFlag = false;
completionFlag = false;
EXAMPLE_I2C_MASTER.MasterReceive(device_addr, rxBuff, rxSize, false);
/* wait for transfer completed. */
while ((!nakFlag) && (!completionFlag))
nakFlag = false;
if (completionFlag == true)
completionFlag = false;
return true;
return false;
You could monitor the signals while doing the communication with the accelerometer. You can have more than one I2C slave on the same bus so long as the slave address is unique.
In the pin_mux.c and .h verify that the mux selection is correct to connect the I2C peripheral to the pins. if not you can use the pins config tool to change it.
I assume you mean you removed R8, R9 and R10 on the freedom board. You need to keep PTC6 R63 to connect to J2 pin 8 and PTC7 R67 to connect to J1 pin 16.
I assume you are connection the two I2C signals, VDD and GND to the sensor. You could also connect the interrupt input of the device to eliminate the need to poll the device. Obviously, you will also need to add back in the required external pull up resistors for the two signals as shown in the frdm board schematic. The size depends on the speed of the communication you want. 10K values are used on the accelerometer.
Hi Philip,
I have R8,R9 and R10 removed. Added a pull up resistor 10K for both SDA and SCL.
in pin_mux.c I have the following for I2C init:
void I2C0_InitPins(void) {
CLOCK_EnableClock(kCLOCK_PortC); /* Port C Clock Gate Control: Clock enabled */
const port_pin_config_t portc6_pin51_config = {
kPORT_PullUp, /* Internal pull-up resistor is enabled */
kPORT_FastSlewRate, /* Fast slew rate is configured */
kPORT_PassiveFilterDisable, /* Passive filter is disabled */
kPORT_LowDriveStrength, /* Low drive strength is configured */
kPORT_MuxAlt7, /* Pin is configured as I2C0_SCL */
PORT_SetPinConfig(PORTC, PIN6_IDX, &portc6_pin51_config); /* PORTC6 (pin 51) is configured as I2C0_SCL */
const port_pin_config_t portc7_pin52_config = {
kPORT_PullUp, /* Internal pull-up resistor is enabled */
kPORT_FastSlewRate, /* Fast slew rate is configured */
kPORT_PassiveFilterDisable, /* Passive filter is disabled */
kPORT_LowDriveStrength, /* Low drive strength is configured */
kPORT_MuxAlt7, /* Pin is configured as I2C0_SDA */
PORT_SetPinConfig(PORTC, PIN7_IDX, &portc7_pin52_config); /* PORTC7 (pin 52) is configured as I2C0_SDA */
I used the same source code of accelerometer. But changed the address to my device address (0x29).
I cant find even the power on i2c signal on oscilloscope. The sensor I am trying to connect to is TCS3471 which is a light sensor.
uint8_t writedata[3];
writedata[0] = (WRITE | (device_addr << 1)); //Slave address: The address is 0x29 or 0b00101001 for I2c this is shifted left and 0 is added for write
writedata[1] = (reg_addr | CMD); // reg is the TAOS unit register address for the byte of interest, cmd is required by the chip and is always 80
writedata[2] = value;
I2C_LS.MasterTransmit(device_addr, writedata, 3, false);
Hi Philip,
Changing the pull up to 1k5 solved the issue. this resistor value is for 400kbps speed. Thanks for the help!
Excellent, I'm glad you got it working.
I tested the SDK_2.x_FRDM-KV11Z version 2.2.0 and ran the bubble level demo with no problems on my FRDM-KV11 board. The bubble level demo does not use interrupts with the I2C interaction with the accelerometer on the board.
My suggestion is to verify that you have no pin or I2C slave address conflicts.
I hope this helps.
I agree. I did try the on board accelerometer. But connecting to an external sensor is my issue. I removed the 0 ohm radiates across the pond so that there is no interference with the external sensor input. Using PTC6 and PTC7 for SDA/ SCL.
I confirmed that the is no pin conflicts. Slave address has been modified.

Final Fantasy XV Lead Game Designer Is an Absolute Beast at Rhythm Games: Watch Him in Action
If you follow Final Fantasy XV's development, you probably know Wan Hazmer, Lead Game Designer in charge of the open world, super-likable former indie developer from Malaysia, geek extraordinaire and anime lover.
Yet, there's one thing that many don't know about him. He's really, really good at Rhythm games, that he regularly plays after work at the local arcades in Tokyo.
Today he posted on his personal YouTube channel two videos of himself playing Chunithm, the latest arcade rhythm game from Sega, that can get devilishly difficult when songs are played in Master Mode (which is the mode Hamzer plays in the videos).
He starts with an SS result on the unlockable song Snipe Whole, and getting an SS result in Master Mode is already a feat, but he then follows it up with an SSS "all justice" (basically a perfect result) in Saekano's opening song Kimiiro Signal. Can't do better than that.
You can check out the videos below. Just look at how fast his hands go. It's absolutely mesmerizing. You can also give a look at the rest of his channel, that includes quite a few videos showing his gaming prowess.

Environmental Controls
Greenhouse Equipment: Control the Growing Environment
Work smart, not hard. The old adage is more applicable today than ever. And, with our greenhouse equipment, you're in a position to turn it into practice. Your crops are reliant on the climate, which means that your livelihood is reliant on nature — unless you control the environment. Instead of waiting on precipitation, sun, and temperature to produce a profitable yield, you can take matters into your own hands.
Your business — or hobby — is in need of environmental control implementation. Decide the amount of irrigation, heat, and humidity your crops need. Simplify monitoring your greenhouse with Emerald Kingdom Greenhouse equipment. Temperature, light, and C02 options are in your hands with our environmental controls. Setting your own pace allows for an increase in production and profit. Shorter cycles and greater command over environmental factors result in a bigger and healthier harvest.
Complete Environmental Control
With our greenhouse equipment, you never have to worry about adapting to the climate again. Ventilation, temperature, and humidity controls offer complete authority over the most vital aspects of growing. Influencing the outcome of crops by simply refining a setting on an electronic device is the smart way to beat your competition. Thanks to an easy setup and lower labor costs, your operation will have the financial and physical means to support healthy business growth.
Setting the temperature and allowing our greenhouse equipment to mechanically regulate the atmosphere seems like it's too good to be true. But, with our superior technology and advanced data-logging capabilities, our environmental control equipment is more than capable of programming a routine that maximizes crop-growing efficiency. Color displays and LCD lighting make for easy use while the sensors enable the machine to adjust for daytime and nighttime climate changes.
Take advantage of our greenhouse equipment operating modes as well. Experiment with each setting to find the perfect growing environment for your crops. From basic controllers to top-of-the-line systems, we have you covered.
More Power
We also offer energy, lighting, and ventilation greenhouse equipment. These kits team to ensure that no aspect of your operation goes unmonitored. Unlike outdoor growing, greenhouse growing can be boiled down to an effective process that's reliant on timing and power controls. A trigger set at your discretion can activate all heating, air conditioning, and ventilation. Something as complicated as releasing CO2 during daylight hours is now as simple as setting a timer through a computer screen. And, with high amperage environmental controllers, there's no shortage of electrical generation.
All of our greenhouse equipment is easy to assemble and use. Of course, our environmental controls are also supremely efficient and designed to make producing easier. Improve your yield with Emerald Kingdom Greenhouse environmental controls. Shop now.

GRP Profile 3 GRP Industrial Roof Sheets
FILON have created a wide range of rooflights and roof sheets in over 900 profiles, to ensure that there is a roof sheet with the correct profile to match nearly all current and discontinued asbestos roof sheets. FILON are market leaders in the manufacturing of GRP roof sheets, with over 60 years of experience in manufacturing and supplying various GRP products to the construction industry. Here at Roofing Superstore we are proud to offer the standard Profile 3 range of GRP roof sheets and rooflights from FILON, all at our famously competitive prices.
What are standard profile 3 roof sheets and rooflights?
Profile 3 roof sheets and rooflights are roof sheets that have a 3 inch corrugation. The profile 3 roof sheets and rooflights from FILON are manufactured from GRP (glass reinforced polyester), which provides a number of benefits.
The profile 3 rooflights contain unique additives which diffuse the light to reduce glare and hot spots, increasing the even spread of light into the building.
Profile 3 roof sheets are grey instead of translucent, and include an extra woven layer of reinforced glass, which adds to the strength of the roof.
What are the benefits of standard profile 3 roof sheets and rooflights?
There are a number of benefits to using profile 3 roof sheets and rooflights from FILON as opposed to other roofing materials.
Firstly, the GRP material used to manufacture the standard profile 3 roof sheets and rooflights is a plastic based material, with added glass fibres. These glass fibres increase the strength and impact resistance of the roof sheets without adding to the overall weight of the product. This means that the handling and transportation is easier than heavier roofing materials such as metal roofing sheets.
Using GRP profile 3 rooflights saves both time and money, as it provides a natural source of daylight, eliminating the need for electrical wiring. This means GRP profile 3 rooflights are particularly useful in industrial and agricultural outbuildings.
Profile 3 GRP roof sheets and rooflights have a highly durable UV resistant film that is applied to the external face of the sheet. This prevents yellowing and increases the lifespan of the roof sheet or rooflight, meaning it's lifespan is around 30 years if exposed to normal conditions.
If you have any questions about profile 3 GRP roof sheets or rooflights from FILON, or want to know whether they are suitable for your project, don't hesitate to call our team on 01752 692760, or use the live chat and they will be more than happy to help.

Reducing Your Risk of Viral Upper Respiratory Infections (Colds and Influenza)
]]>Main Page]]> | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | Reducing Your Risk | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
There are steps you can take to reduce your risk of catching a ]]>cold]]> or ]]>influenza]]>. They include the following:
Wash Your Hands Often
]]>Hand washing]]> is the most neglected, yet most effective, method of disease containment. The primary way of spreading both colds and influenza is person-to-person contact. Wash your hands often, especially when you come in contact with someone who is sick. Even if someone in your house has the flu, you can reduce your risk of getting sick by washing your hands.
Effective ways to prevent respiratory infections include:
- Washing your hands thoroughly (15-20 seconds) with soap and water
- Avoiding hand-to-hand passage of germs and droplet sprays from sneezing and coughing
- Using alcohol-based hand gels when washing is not possible
Wear a Face Mask
If you have to be in close contact with a sick person, wear a face mask or a disposable respirator. Wearing a face mask and washing your hands can help to reduce your risk of getting the flu.
Do Not Share Items
Do not share drinks or personal items.
Keep Your Hands Away From Your Face
Do not bite your nails or put your hands near your eyes, mouth, or nose.
Avoid Crowds During Influenza Season
This may not be a very practical suggestion for everyone. However, if you are at high risk of catching a cold or influenza or are at risk for developing complications from these infections, try to avoid crowded areas or people who are obviously sick during the influenza season.
Get a Flu Vaccine
Each year, the World Health Organization tries to determine which strains of the influenza virus will be most dangerous in the upcoming influenza season. Vaccines are developed for these strains.
Vaccines against the ]]>seasonal flu]]> and ]]>pandemic H1N1 flu]]> are available. There is a vaccine against the ]]>avian flu]]>, but it is not available to the general public.
Seasonal Flu Vaccine
The seasonal flu vaccine has been associated with fewer hospitalizations and deaths from influenza or ]]>pneumonia]]> among the elderly living in a community.
There are two types of seasonal flu vaccines:
- Flu shot—This is approved for use in people older than six months. The shot is made from an inactivated, killed virus. It is given by injection, usually into the arm.
- Nasal spray flu vaccine—This is approved for healthy people aged 2-49 years who are not pregnant. It is made from live, weakened flu viruses. It is taken by nasal spray.
A possible side effect is a mild "flu-like" reaction, including fever, aches, and fatigue. Up to 5% of people experience these symptoms after getting the seasonal influenza vaccine.
Flu vaccines are available at doctors' offices, hospitals, local public health offices, and at some workplaces, stores, and shopping malls.
Most people can make it through a flu season without the need for antiviral medicines. However, you may want to talk with your doctor about taking antiviral medications to lower your risk of getting the flu if you are exposed to the flu and:
- Are at high risk for complications of the flu
- Are a healthcare worker, public health worker, or first responder
Your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medicine, such as ]]>oseltamivir]]> (Tamiflu) or ]]>zanamivir]]> (Relenza,) to prevent the flu. In the US, some strains of the seasonal influenza virus are resistant to Tamiflu, but it can be used for ]]>pandemic H1N1 flu]]>. There are other antiviral medicines (eg, ]]>amantadine]]>, ]]>rimantadine]]>), but these are used less often and do not work in treating pandemic H1N1 flu.
If you have the flu and live with someone who is at risk for complications (eg, elderly, babies, someone with cancer), that person may need to take antiviral medicines to prevent getting the flu from you. Remember that these medicines are not a substitute for getting vaccinated. Vaccination is still the best way to prevent the flu.
