Hidden wealth - Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone has a wealth of mineral resources, but exploration of the war-ravaged country is in its infancy. Michael Forrest reports.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Independence of Sierra Leone. A former British Colony, the country has now settled to democratic elections after a decade or more of civil war and strife. Part of that war was funded by the mineral wealth of the country and, in particular, alluvial diamond production, often under control of anti-Government rebels. In 2002, a return to democracy occurred following United Nations intervention.
The undoubted mineral wealth of the country was illustrated by Liv Carroll, Senior Business Analyst at Gemcom Software International, in a presentation at the House of Lords, London, UK, run by the London Association of Mining Analysts.
'Sierra Leone is approximately the size of Ireland, but the similarities of geology stop at this point,' says Carroll. The majority of the country (the eastern part) is underlain by the 3,800 million-year-old (3.8Ga) Man craton – one of the oldest Archean terrains in west Africa, in neighbouring countries hosts gold, iron ore and diamond deposits. It is a typical Archean granite/greenstone assemblage that has been reworked in two significant metamorphic events at 3.2 and 2.7Ga (the Leonean and Liberian respectively).
'These events caused structural tears and faults within the craton to act as conduits for mineralisation,' noted Carroll. The craton has significant gold, iron ore and diamonds as well as other minerals. Currently, there are a number of mines under development for gold and iron ore, although diamond production is from alluvial and hard rock resources, based on Jurassic/Cretaceous-aged kimberlites at Koidu. Other clusters have been identified, and, given the distribution of artisanal production, many more await discovery. The Archean shield is not the only target.
To the south and west lies the Pre-Cambrian Kasila amphibolites and granulites, and it is the weathering of these rocks that generated Sierra Leone's extensive titanium sands. The titanium is found in ilmenite and rutile minerals, oxides that have resisted weathering, and now are present in the Bullom series of coastal sediments of Pleistocene age. This group (Kasila) also hosts extensive bauxite deposits, the source mineral for aluminium. It results from the tropical weathering of aluminium-rich minerals, such as feldspar. Platinum minerals are also found in the Freetown Complex, a 193Ma mafic to ultramafic intrusion related to the opening of the Atlantic.
Golden interest
'Mapping geology and mineral deposits is only part of the development of a mining industry – the challenge lies in attracting investment,' declared Carroll. 'The first step is collating all available databases in a usable format. Although there is a wealth of data, both within the country and in those colonial bodies that carried out the initial surveys, the problem is one of integration.'
However, overriding these considerations is a competitive mining code, which Sierra Leone reviewed in 2009. This code gives security of tenure (on a use or lose basis), transparency and reasonable royalty rates based on profits of 6.5% for diamonds, five per cent for gold and three per cent for other commodities.
Peter Gardner, Financial Director of Cluff Gold plc, London, UK, echoed this mining code approval. 'Cluff Gold is focused on West Africa as it offers unparalleled exploration opportunities and a favourable operating environment. In Burkina Faso, our Kalsaka operation produced more than 74,000oz of gold in 2010 realising an average price of US$1,221/oz. This cashflow has enabled Cluff to explore in Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone.'
He explained that the flagship exploration programme is located in Baomahun in central Sierra Leone. The geological host is a series of garnet-mica and quartz-mica schists that vary from a few metres to 40m in thickness. The mineralisation found in these metasediments is located adjacent to banded ironstones (BIF) varying in scale from a few metres to decimetres. These appear to act as rigid, more competent objects in localising the mineralisation, although they do not host except when they are sheared or occur as intercalation with the other rock types. They may also act as geochemical traps owing to their high iron content. Indeed, the BIF horizons have been used as marker horizons by local artisanal miners to locate mineralised zones within the oxidised areas normally within 20m of surface.
One of the best exploration tools, noted Gardener, is versatile time-domain electro-magnetic (VTEM) geophysics, which accurately maps subsurface conductors related to conductive sulphide minerals, which at Baomahun are usually associated with gold.
He added, 'Many of these targets have now been drilled, and we have a measured and indicated resource of just over 1.4Moz at a grade of 2.9g/t. There is significant exploration potential at Baomahun. Gold is known to be associated with the pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite, and the delineated existing resource only covers three kilometres of a 12km prospective trend. Two drill rigs are completing the in-fill drilling programme as part of the feasibility work.'
Environmental options
In planning the mine, Cluff Gold is considering developing hydropower in the area to be complemented with a heavy fuel-oil generating plant. There is significant potential of excess power for national consumption, and mine construction will require investment in local infrastructure, including roads.
Infrastructural considerations are paramount in developing large-scale mining operations of bulk commodities, such as iron ore. Sierra Leone has massive iron ore deposits that, in the past, have contributed to economic development. One of these is the Marampa mine that was operated between 1933-75 by the Sierra Leone Development Company It reached peak production of 2.5Mt/y in the 1960s, before low prices, declining grades and old equipment forced closedown.
In 2006, London Mining plc, an AIM-listed company, acquired the mining licence. CEO Graeme Hossie explained that his company was planning to develop the mine in two phases. The first phase is under construction and relies on tailings from past operations (70%) and soft highly weathered ore (30%). The 26% iron-grade material will be concentrated by wet high intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS), to produce a 65% concentrate. The company plans to be in production by the third quarter this year, with the transport of concentrate by road to a new river port (Tawfayim) for barging to the deep water port of Freetown. They have an offtake agreement with Glencore for this material.
Phase 1 will produce 3.6Mt/y of concentrate for a mine life of seven years. Phase 2 is more ambitious, with a 16Mt/y production target over a 23-year mine life. The output will be 65% iron sinter concentrate and pellet feed, with first production slated for 2014. Marampa has a JORC-compliant resource of 906Mt hematite and 37Mt of tailings.
Mining contributes 10.7% of GDP (International Monetary Fund data), and, when the iron ore production comes on stream, this is likely to provide 10-12% of GDP, with total mining export revenues to reach US$370m by 2015. There are currently three mines in operation (one each of diamond, bauxite, and rutile), and iron ore and gold to follow shortly.
Further information
The Sierra Leone Forum was held in May at the UK House of Lords, in London, and addressed by Lord Falconer. The meeting closed with a discussion, including a contribution by Sierra Leone's Deputy High Commissioner Tamba Ngegba. The event closed with a presentation by Planting Promise, a UK charity that is developing schools through business development in Sierra Leone. Website: www.plantingpromise.org.uk

Yeah, I eventually persuaded what must surely be the most tight-fisted bunch in the country to buy a Cyclades card with 32 ports on it. A little excessive for most people, I would imagine. It's a PCI card with what looks like a SCSI 2 socket, and two little pizzaboxes each with 16 ports. Cost over a grand, but it works perfectly as far as I can tell. If anybody comes up with a decent source of _cheap_ 4-port or 8-port cards, preferably using only one IRQ, I'd be interested. Cheers, Ian.

My first reaction to news Patriots tight end Matt LaCosse was opting out of the 2020 season? Uh-oh.
Which really didn't make any sense. LaCosse was part of a punchless tight end group in 2019. He was hurt in the Patriots first preseason game and when he returned he caught 13 passes in the 11 games he played.
He is not a diamond in the rough. He's not a player the whole league's been sleeping on since he was drafted in 2015. He's a lower-level player subtracted from a lower-level group. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
Download the MyTeams app for the latest Patriots news and analysis
But his departure does create ripples. The main one being that the Patriots are now ride-or-die with their two rookie tight ends, third-rounder Devin Asiasi and fourth-rounder Dalton Keene.
Honestly, they probably already were. LaCosse was a placeholder. A break-glass-in-case-of-emergency stopgap until Asiasi or Keene assimilated.
Losing LaCosse just throws them into a fire they were headed for anyway.
But tight end is not a plug-and-play position in the Patriots offense. It's historically been described as one of the toughest to learn because tight ends are vital parts of both the running and passing games. Even if the scheme shifts post-Brady, it's not likely to get much easier.
Of the tight ends on the roster, Asiasi is easily the one to be most bullish about. Dave Spitz, who trained elite NFL tight ends Austin Hooper and Zach Ertz, worked with Asiasi to get ready for the Combine.
"(Asiasi) has the catch radius of Austin," Spitz said. "He has the body control and awareness of Zach. And he, I think, has more bend, more wiggle, than both of them. He's a beautiful combination. Plus he brings his own set of qualities. As a route-runner, he's just gonna be so difficult to defend at the next level."
He's also seen as an above-average blocker and he's got a lot of room to grow in both areas. He's got a high ceiling.
Keene is a maniac as a blocker and a very good athlete that makes plays with the ball in his hands.
"Just a hard-working, tough, no-regard-for-his-health type guy," an AFC tight ends coach told NBC Sports Boston prior to the draft. "Does a lot. Tough. Mauls. Throws his body around. Probably a late-round guy. Not going to be anybody's No. 1, but a pretty athletic dude. Could survive as either a 'Y' or an 'F' but he's a little bit of a 'tweener. Not [Aaron] Hernandez, but better than your fullback. Not elite. A little bit stiff, but fun to watch."
Bill Belichick said Keene's learning curve would be steep because he just didn't do at Virginia Tech many of the things the Patriots do.
Aside from Keene and Asiasi, there's Ryan Izzo. The team seemed to have high hopes for him at the start of last season but he was staggeringly uncompetitive as a blocker and was put in mothballs. The team also has two undrafted rookies, Rashod Berry and Jake Burt.
The free-agent tight end market, which the Patriots decided not to dip into, is now pretty lean. There are good players who've fallen out of favor or into disuse in their current cities (David Njoku and O.J. Howard), but with so much uncertainty for every team, deals are unlikely to be happening with much frequency until rosters are more set, opt-outs have ended and teams understand the overall health of their team relative to COVID-19.
So – to a large extent – what you see at tight end right now is probably what you'll get.

Forum6: Childhood obesity as well as ADHD has been blamed on artificialadditives. Choose one of these issues and present a reputable[non-industry, non-advocacy] source on the subject.
Foodadditives usually include artificial sweeteners, preservatives andartificial colors. Some studies have indicated that certainartificial additives and preservatives have the capacity ofincreasing hyperactive behavior in kids. A study conducted by theUnited Kingdom's Food Standards Agency in 2007 indicated thatconsuming foods that contain additives have the capacity ofincreasing hyperactive behavior in kids. In the study, kids of 9, 8,and 3 years were offered three different kinds of beverages that wereto drink and their behavior evaluated (Hersey, 2010). The studyindicated that beverages containing additives increased hyperactivebehavior amid the kids. This concluded that artificial additives havethe capacity of affecting the behavior of kids (Hersey, 2010). Thenumber of kids having ADHD is on the increase as a result of theincreased consumption of foods having artificial additives. Anotherstudy that indicates that there is a relationship between artificialadditives and ADHD is the Lancet.The Lancetindicates that the intake of food substances that have artificialadditives is likely to cause hyperactivity in kids.
Hersey,J. (2010). ADHDIncrease Linked to Nutritional Factors.ICPA, Advancing the Family Wellness Lifestyle.
Forum7: Consider what has created the adult obesity problem in the USwhat have sociologists discovered about trends in income, gender,race, inequality levels, changes in social institutions and theircontrol over food and how it is portrayed, in creating the adultobesity statistics. [Off the cuff, unsubstantiated opinions are notappropriate.] What is the impact of the multi-billion-dollar dietindustry on the problem? Are diet companies reducing obesity figuressignificantly? Do you think it will or can? Why or why not?
Theobesity problem in America has been created by poor nutrition andlack of exercises. Most of the American adults consume fast foodsbecause it is either readily available, or they do not have time tocook. Besides, most the adults do not do physical exercises whichlead to overweight a risk factor for obesity. An increase in incomeamong the Americans leads to a decrease in the rate of obesity(Finkelstein& Zuckerman, 2013). This is because as individuals get highincomes, they watch their nutrients intake. This reduces the rate ofobesity. The trend in gender indicates that women are more exposed tothe problem of obesity than men because they exercise less comparedto men and consume a lot of junk foods. On the issue of race, blacksare likely to have the problem of obesity more than the whites.Inequality levels indicate that individuals that are poor are moreexposed to the problem of obesity compared to the affluentindividuals. This is because the poor do not watch their nutritiondue to lack of resources. On the other hand, as social institutionstake control over food and create obesity statistics, the rates ofobesity has decreased (Finkelstein& Zuckerman, 2013). The multibillion-dollar diet industry hasresulted in an increase of the problem rather than decreasing theproblem because the diet proposed does not eliminate the problem. Thediet companies are not reducing the obesity figures significantlybecause most of them are just in business of making profits. I thinkthe problem can be reduced through people changing their lifestyles,which can be supported by social institutions.

Forum8: Does the concern of the cultural identity activists seem lesscompelling if the Fusion Cuisine incorporated elements from aneighboring, non-colonial culture, like Vietnamese cuisine withLaotian elements or Salvadoran dishes with Mexican elements? Does the"homogenization" or "cultural colonialism"arguments seem less compelling?
Foodis an exceedingly vital aspect that helps in identifying withdifferent cultures. Every person desires to identify with the foodthat helps him/her to connect with his/her culture. When individualsvisit new places, although they are eager to learn the culture of thepeople living in the new place through different things such as food,they are always eager to associate with their food since itidentifies with their culture (Civitello,2008). In the age of globalization, fusion cuisine is exceedinglycommon, where cuisine combines elements from various culinarytraditions. This is critical in ensuring that people learn ofdifferent cultures through food. This multicultural practice isperceived significant for the coexistence of cultures. In case fusioncuisine incorporates elements from a neighboring, non-colonialculture, there is no problem since the elements included will beunderstood from the non-colonial culture. There is no need of puttingaway or diminishing a neighboring culture because it is non-colonial.It is always good to consider the idea of fusion cuisine since ithelps in bringing different cultures together (Civitello,2008). Therefore, the concern of the cultural identity activists ofcultural colonialism seems less compelling.

With the average tuition and fees for a student enrolled in a full course load at the University of Saskatchewan costing upwards of $6500 a year, many students are seeking extra employment in order to help offset the costs of their higher education.
The life of a university student is already a busy one, filled with exams, papers, lab reports, readings and assignments. It's a common occurrence to see a university student staying up until the wee hours of the morning to complete all the work that gets assigned to them.
However, with both the cost of living and soaring tuitions, some students are struggling to make ends meet. In Saskatchewan in 2015, students now have to work almost three times as many hours than a Saskatchewan student in 1975 in order to pay their tuition, according to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
Shawn Clouthier, a third-year arts and science student in women's and gender studies, works three jobs in order to pay for their education, sometimes putting in upwards of 20–25 hours each week.
"I unfortunately need to work in order to pay the bills," Clouthier said.
However, Clouthier also believes that having a job while going to university can be a good thing.
"I would probably still work a bit even if I didn't have to. Going to work forces you to take a break from school work in a guilt-free way. I'd like to say the extra money is nice as well, but it's not really extra," Clouthier said.
Although a lot of university students are now working to pay for their schooling, some students are avoiding having to seek employment. Erickson Ureta, first-year computer science student, thinks there are a few options for remaining unemployed — unfortunately not always available to all students.
"If you know you have enough money saved up or you have other sources of money — for example, your parents — then maybe you'll be fine in school without a job. Otherwise, [getting a job while you're in university] is pretty necessary," Ureta said.
One of the biggest issues that university graduates face once they leave school is unemployment. Post-graduates are having a harder time finding jobs for a variety of reasons. It could be the competition for professional careers in Canada. Or, for second-year psychology student Samuel Rafuse, a huge contributing factor to graduate unemployment is a lack of life experience.
"Working a job in university is almost essential, but so is studying. You mostly need to budget and prioritize. What matters to you most? Experience is more valuable to employers than simply a degree," Rafuse said.
As Rafuse said, it's important to find a balance between work and your study. However, that can be difficult to accomplish. Clouthier emphasized the importance of taking care of yourself while juggling a job and university.
"It's really helpful to look at your schedule and honestly ask yourself how much you'll be able to handle. And if it ends up being too much, drop some hours, if you can. Just remember that your well-being is most important," Clouthier said.
Personally, I am also working two jobs, sometimes three, in order to pay for my education. It's definitely not easy and sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order for me to maintain both my grades and finances. My social life tends to take the heaviest hit. However, I agree with the overall sentiment that working during university is almost necessary, especially if you don't have financial support from your family.
Scheduling can be difficult sometimes, but balance is important. The best situation is students doing the best work they can do in both their schooling and their job. Clouthier stresses the importance of trying not to take on too much at once.
"If you think that working will be beneficial to you and you can't foresee it harming your mental well-being, then go for it! But don't bite off more than you can chew," Clouthier said.

THIS SHOP IS GARBAGE!! The other reviews are most likely fake. If you look at google reviews, they only got 2.5 stars. This pathetic and sad excuse of a "family owned pet shop" only takes your money and they don't care about your fur babies. I ordered this backpack on April 20 and I STILL didn't received it. I called, emailed, and even messaged the damn store on social platforms and they only messaged back twice after all my attempts saying "we're experiencing some delays. Just be patient" but it's been a whole month and a week with no tracking number or a confirmation of its shipment. They're located in California and I'm in Florida. It shouldn't even take that long anyways. Plus, they would rather post memes on social media instead of replying back to their customers. This is NOT how you should run a shop. Lowest of professionalism I've ever experienced. I hope this shop gets TERRIBLE karma during this pandemic for thinking it's ok to rob people's money. Please do yourself a favor and don't waste your time or money on this trash family business. There's better ones on Amazon.
Brittany V.
My Sphynx cat fits comfortably into this backpack, can breathe easily, and actually enjoys it! I get a tons of compliments and people want to take pictures every time I wear it out.
David K.
Exactly how I excepted it to be. Perfect! Very good quality and very cute. Happy with this purchase.
Bailey B.
My cat hates being in a carrier but he doesn't seem to mind this one since it has a clear view. It satisfy his curiosity. It's pretty spacious so it allows him to move around quite well. Very comfortable to wear and love the color too!
Rory Q.
Nice cat bag. The size is perfect and the material feels comfortable. It would be better that there is an instruction how to put the plastic case on the bag. Perfect cat bag
Cherry P.
Kitty approved. Very cute design, got plenty compliments from friends. My cats can see outside from the plastic shell, more fun than the regular carrier.
Lou S.
My daughter and her cat same to enjoy going for walks together with him in his space capsule. Hey cat owner you need this too!
Phoebe B.
My bird broke her foot before I got her and because of that she had a very weak grip so we are at the vet at least twice a month to get blood feathers pulled. This is going to make it so much easier to travel with her. I don't have a car so I had to lug a huge pet carrier onto the bus. I can't wait to use this instead.
Jenny P.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this purchase! She actually really likes it because she's able to see everything and be close to us which is nice. Worth it!
Sean M.
This is a super cool carrier for cats. People smile and say "your cat so cute" when I have this full window backpack walking!
Melodie T.
Omg I love it so much I don't have a car and the regular carriers are to heavy this was perfect.

I have a 1993 Lexus SC 300 and have met all maint milestones. Recently had both rear shocks replaced and am getting a SHARP metal contact in the left rear when the suspension begins to load. Mechanic spent afternoon looking in shock mount, trunk, spare, jack, spare and antenna mast-can't find it. New tires. New rear brakes-told me that was it. Still there. Need help to make this great car better. Roger
Roger, For What It's Worth . . .
I don't know a Lexus from a bale of hay, don't know the body style changes, etcetera, but is your 93 Lexus similar to a 95 Lexus SC300 ?
There was a rear spring "bumper" production change in Oct. 1995 on the SC300s and SC400s in an effort to reduce "clunking/rattling" noises, according to a Lexus Technical Service Bulletin (10/20/95).
Since it sounds like your noise only started after the struts were replaced, I found one comment made in this bulletin that caught my attention . . .
" SERVICE HINT: A similar clunking/rattling type noise can be generated by an
improperly torqued center support nut (27 N-m, 280 kgf.cm, 20 ft.lbs). "
That center support nut is located at the top of the strut (above the spring bumper).
Roger, See If This Helps. I Don't Know If This Is Your Problem Sound. I Found A Copy Of The Bulletin And Some Lexus Owners Discussions At This Link:

Charleston, Illinois 61920
Phone: 217-345-6416
Reservations: 217-345-6416
Fox Ridge State Park, just 8 miles south of Charleston in east-central Illinois is known for its steep, thickly wooded ridges, broad, lush valleys and miles of rugged, scenic hiking trails and covers 2,064 acres.
In sharp contrast to the flat prairies of most of this section of Illinois, Fox Ridge is set amidst rolling hills along the forested bluffs of the Embarras ("Ambraw") River.
At any time of year, Fox Ridge State Park is a great place to visit. In winter, the snow-softened ridges are alive with birds and animals. In the spring, a panoramic blanket of multi-hued wildflowers and blooming, budding trees celebrate the resurgence of growth. By summer the dense vegetation and new generation of wildlife are thriving in the sun, and autumn brings its brilliant display of color as nature enhances the woodlands with yellow, red, purple and orange.
History of the Area
Arrowheads and artifacts uncovered in this area indicate habitation by prehistoric Native American cultures. Early historic tribes included the Piankashaw and the Illinois, both of whom were pushed out when the Kickapoo migrated into the region from Wisconsin in the late 1600s.
European settlers in the area originally were centered around the Embarras River, which provided their main source of transportation, fishing, trapping, and, of course, water. Before the development of the railroad, much of the economy of the area also depended on the river, where flat boats carried livestock and manufacturing materials downstream to the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi rivers and on to New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico.
In the late 1930s, the State of Illinois took over management and ownership of Fox Ridge, then a small parcel of land, and residents of the Charleston area helped preserve and develop it as a state park. The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed a residence/workshop complex, a Natural History Survey laboratory, 4 miles of hiking trails, a large brick pavilion and a dam and spillway which created the 12-acre Ridge Lake.
Ridge Lake, completed in 1941 and currently administered by the Illinois Natural History Survey in Urbana, is used for the study of lakes, ponds and streams to improve fishing in Illinois waters. Studies at the lake (the first at which Natural History Survey technicians were able to control the water level) have included investigations of the effects on resident fish populations of lake drawdowns, supplemental feeding of bluegill and channel catfish and introduction of supplemental predators such as the muskellunge and walleye. These constitute the most thorough and longest continuous fish studies in the United States.
To further enhance the development of the park, the Fox Ridge Foundation was founded and dedicated to the improvement and promotion of the area. Governed by local citizens interested in the park's future, the foundation sponsors several annual events, publishes a quarterly newsletter and organizes and administers fund drives for specific or general park improvements. Supported by the general public through membership dues and donations, the foundations is a tax-exempt charitable organization. For further information contact the park office or write to the Fox Ridge Foundation, P.O. Box 714, Charleston, IL, 61920.

Due to the rich, abundant plant and animal life in the park and its dramatic hills and bluffs, the eight miles of the meandering trail system is the natural focus for most visitors. Each of the ten connected trails has a descriptive marker at the entrance to assist you. Fox Ridge is a ravine of glacial moraine and many of these trails are steep, 18 picturesque wooden bridges and numerous rest benches make them easily negotiable. Turkey, deer, fox, squirrel, raccoon, rabbit, turkey vulture, hawk, owl, quail, pheasant and the lush foliage will make your journey both exciting and restful.
Eight separate but looping trails are located within the park. The looping trails allow you to extend or cut short you walk. You can expect to walk along the Embarras River, or through the decidious forest once common in the area. A four-mile horse trail, bring your own horse, no overnight facilities for horses (Horse trail closed from November 15 - April 15).
The staircase to Eagle's Nest has just been completed requiring 144 steps to get you to the deck overlooking the river, providing a wonderful view during the fall, winter and spring.
A fitness trail has just been refurbished offering another dimension to the trail system. Two handicapped accessible trails are available one wandering along the edge of a ravine and the other tours a small fishing pond with an accessible fishing pier.
Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
June 13
Beautiful scenery, yet so disappointed
by Becky
We recently visited to ride the equestrian trail. When we got to the back of the park ( we drove about 1.5 miles back) there was a barricade across the road saying horse trails closed, leaving no room to turn the trailer around. No sign was visible from the road at the entrance at the visitors center, and the first sign pointing us in the direction of the trails did not tell us they were closed either. We were quite disappointed to have driven so far to have to turn around. I am wondering, are the horse trails even used anymore? There didnt seem to be any visible reason for it to be closed. :(

Very Pretty
by Heather
Excellent place! Lots of trails in different types of areas. Through cool valleys, along the river, up on ridges. The brick pavilion is an awesome place for get-togethers. In fact, my husband and I were married there.

Great Park
by Robin
Fox Ridge is in my back yard. I have many fond memories of going to the park as a child. I took my girls to the park often and walked the trails. I now take my grandkids. I love to go down by the river and look at all the different rocks. The kids love the mussel sheels. Great place to picnic if you bring sandwiches or use the park grills. A geart place to get away from it all.

By The Thaiger
A team of officials led by Krabi Vice Governor Apinan Pueakpong headed over to Koh Phi Phi on Wednesday to inspect hotels, tourism, diving and tour boat operators.
Eight premises have been found with non-compliant buildings and operating them as illegal hotels.
Officials also took legal action under the Immigration Act, which requires that tourists staying in hotels be registered with the local Immigration office. This wasn't happening with some non-compliant hotels operating in the area.
The managers of the establishments are also being questioned.
After that the officials investigated a hillside area where 34 villas and a big swimming pool are being built.
The construction is under NorSor3 land document, which was issued in 1993 for 47.5 rai plot of land. The owner of the land is Narongsak 'Ko Kiet' Pattamapaneewong from Chiang Mai.
Officials took a copy of the land documents for further inspection as the construction is on a hill and officials suspect it encroaches on reserve forest land.

The Hands That Feed Us App
We partnered with the Food Chain Workers Alliance to create a mobile app to generate publicity to their No Piece of the Pie - U.S. Food Workers in 2016 Report. This handy app introduces you to the workers that make up the "Food Chain"
Diversity and Inclustion for the 21st Century Economy An Imperative for Chambers of Commerce
America is changing. Demographically, we are projected to become "majority-minority" before 2050; the big news is that this is no longer driven by immigration (which has, in fact, slowed) but rather by births in the U.S. That demographic inevitability has been accompanied by an unsettling shift in the American economy: while debates continue to occur about the respective roles of technology and international competition in either creating or destroying employment, it is clear that the average person's sense of job security has withered in what was supposed to be an exciting and hopeful new economy.
Inclusive Economy Indicators: Framework and Indicator Recommendations
In an effort to advance the conceptualization of Inclusive Economies, our research team developed an indicator framework for measuring progress towards economic inclusivity. The Rockefeller Foundation defines an inclusive economy as one in which there is expanded opportunity for more broadly shared prosperity, especially for those facing the greatest barriers to advancing their well-being. Specifically, they define an inclusive economy as one that is equitable, participatory, growing, sustainable and stable.
Working for Dignity Website
Working for Dignity In the Spring of 2015, Everett students partnered with USCS Professor Steve McKay to bring the findings of his "Working For Dignity" research project to the community and world. The project involved over 1,100 student conducted surveys of low-wage workers from all around Santa Cruz county with the intent of bringing to light workplace violations and to tell the stories of low-wage workers. Everett assisted by creating the Working For Dignity website complete with data graphics and digital stories. True to their ingenuity and spirit, Everett students also translated the entire website into Spanish on the day of its launch!
Racial and Gender Occupational Segregation in the Restaurant Industry
Everett Director Chris Benner has partnered with ROC United to explore the inequality in the restaurant industry along race and gender lines. The restaurant industry employs nearly 11 million workers and is one of the fastest growing sectors of the US economy. Despite the industry's growth, restaurant workers occupy seven of the ten lowest-paid occupations reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the economic position of workers of color in the restaurant industry is particularly precarious. Restaurant workers experience poverty at nearly three times the rate of workers overall, and workers of color experience poverty at nearly twice the rate of white restaurant workers. Read the Report

Partnering with ROC United, Everett project managed development of Top Server-a game to help move service workers to high road restaurants.
Equity, Community, and Growth
In the last several years, much has been written about growing economic challenges, increasing income inequality, and political polarization in the United States. This new book by Everett Program Executive Director Chris Benner and Manuel Pastor argues that lessons for addressing these national challenges are emerging from a new set of realities in America's metropolitan regions: first, that inequity is, in fact, bad for economic growth; second, that bringing together the concerns of equity and growth requires concerted local action; and, third, that the fundamental building block for doing this is the creation of diverse and dynamic epistemic (or knowledge) communities, which help to overcome political polarization and help regions address the challenges of economic restructuring and social divides. Equity, Community, and Growth features a robust website complete with data, charts, maps, and eve a completely free eBook version!

REVIEW: Elmore Judd, Jazz Cafe Camden Town

Elmore Judd
Jazz Cafe
Camden Town
Four star rating
Garbed in black fedora hats and ties, not white coats and safety specs, and toting saxophones and drum brushes, not Bunsen burners and test tubes, Elmore Judd were nevertheless all about the big experiment last week at the
Jazz Cafe.
Brothers Jessie and Louis, who in another incarnation rocks dances with hip-hop smashes as turntablist Louis Slipperz, make up part of the ethereal group where detours from convention in saxophone, keyboard and vocals are all part of the milkshake.
Signed to Damon Albarn's label Honest Jon's, this Tufnell Park electro funk team have been making serious waves in recent months.
The witching hour seemed to descend on NW1 as Judd created a searing, intense paean to dysfunctional love in the cover of a track by 1970s krautrock group Can - surely one of the highest notes of the show.
Sax-player Shabaka experimented his way to new heights of screeching, honking, parping weirdness as lead vocalist Jessie's voice expressed a detached, cool sensuality, verging at times on Air's ethereal soundtrack to the Virgin Suicides film.
The audience caught the party mood early on, twirling each other round in the pit, tempting vocalist Enrique Joyette to the point of no return as he jumped off the stage to lock fingers with the ladies.
So musically perceptive that they can grab your pain by the throat and squeeze until your breath gives out, the group can be prone to moments of over-experimentation, where it doesn't quite sit swimmingly together, and attention can wane.
Rappers Yungun and Jehst hit the stage at the end to grab it right back, smashing the soft experimentation up with some street swagger, but the defining moment will be Judd's cover of Nirvana's Come As You Are, delivered in Jessie's haunting, snakeskin-sexy voice, drifting over Camden Town like a beautiful nightmare.

Not all cash back credit cards are created equally, especially when it comes to how the reward is actually paid to the customer.
The content on this page is accurate as of the posting date; however, some of our partner offers may have expired. Please review our list of best credit cards, or use our CardMatch™ tool to find cards matched to your needs.
Cash back credit cards are one of the greatest innovations since sliced bread. Most carry no annual fee, are accepted by merchants the world over and allow you to earn a cash back rebate on virtually every purchase or cash advance you make with the credit card. But not all cash back credit cards are created equally, especially when it comes to how the reward is actually paid to the customer.
Once you click on the terms and conditions link, you will be taken to a rather lengthy page that contains all the APRs, fees and other conditions of card membership. Usually, under a section called "Rewards" you will find the language that describes how your cash back will be earned and paid to you. These are the fine print details that will allow you to determine if you prefer one sort of cash back reward process over another. When deciding which credit card best suits your needs, comparison of cash rebate delivery procedures can be as important as other more common card features, like intro rates and fees.
The methods of cash back payments can be as varied as the number of reward credit cards on the market. These include statement credits, checks, gift cards or deposits into special bank accounts. Any one method is not necessarily better than another. It generally boils down to whatever type of repayment that you find most rewarding. Some people find a statement credit to be the simplest and most direct method of receiving their cash back. This type of payment tends to be the most immediate, since it is most often made on a monthly basis. The down side of statement credits is that it can be perceived as a mere reduction in outstanding credit card debt, rather than cash in hand.
Cash back credit cards that pay customers with a check generally do so at the end of a calendar year or after the cash back rebate has reached a certain threshold, such as $25. The great thing about getting a check is that it seems like a gift and is a really tangible manifestation of the cash back reward that has been earned by using the credit card. The only potential negative of getting a check is that it can take a little longer to earn, since an earnings threshold must be met, or you have to wait until the end of the year before it comes in the mail.
Some credit card issuers require customers to call to order their cash back rebate check. Others send it automatically, regardless of the amount earned. These can be important details to understand before signing up for a card and can only be understood by studying the card terms and conditions.
Another potential benefit of those cash back reward programs that pay by check is that many allow you to choose to receive your final reward in the form of a gift certificate, normally involving a much higher (sometimes double) value than if getting a check.
If you are the type of person who always pays off their credit card balance every month, a cash back credit card is a great choice. But before you choose, do a little research and decide what will give you the biggest bang for the buck.

text: Grade 9 art students have put finishing touches on their Oman-inspired sculptures, on display around the ABIS campus. This class was able to collaborate very effectively on the project. The groups made a lot of discoveries along the way, such as when Eaton and Maria found a tutorial showing how to use acrylic paint and WD-40 to mimic a fluid painting effect. Mr. Healy was kind enough to donate a can and both Ms. Rehil and the class enjoyed learning a new technique. The effect was used to simulate the appearance of water, and the painted piece of cardboard was added to a sculpture of a local wadi.
