Today we're spotlighting author Joan Hall Hovey on her tour with Goddess Fish Promotions for the two suspense novels, "Night Corridor" and "The Abduction of Mary Rose" . Both these books sound amazing ... they're firmly on my TBR pile when I have a moment to read.
Now, after nine years in Bayshore mental institution, once called The Lunatic Asylum, Caroline is being released.
There will be no one to meet her. Her parents who brought her here are dead.
They have found her a room in a rooming house, a job washing dishes in a restaurant. She will do fine, they said. But no one told her that women in St. Simeon are already dying at the hands of a vicious predator. One, an actress who lived previously in her building.
And now, as Caroline struggles to survive on the outside, she realizes someone is stalking her.
But who will believe her? She's a crazy woman after all.
Then, one cold winter's night on her way home from her job, a man follows and is about to assault her when a stranger intercedes.
A stranger who hides his face and whispers her name.

Excerpt: NIGHT CORRIDOR October 1973
He noticed her as soon as he walked into the bar. She was sitting with another girl, a blond; pretty, he supposed, but his attention was riveted on the dark-haired one. He ordered a beer and took a table in the far corner where he had a good view, while he himself was safe from watchful eyes. She had satiny hair to her shoulders, high cheekbones, was slender in a silk print top, black slacks, like a woman on the cover of a magazine. She was laughing at something the blond said, flashing perfect white teeth and his heart tripped. She's the one, the voice told him. Excitement surged through him as he recast her in the movie that for years now, replayed endlessly on the screen of his mind.
When the two women rose to leave, he left his unfinished beer on the table and casually, so as not to draw attention to himself, followed them outside. She had put on a jacket and it shone bright white in the lights from the parking lot.
After chatting briefly, the two girls gave each other a quick hug, then parted and went to their respective cars, parked a good distance from one another. There was a rightness to it. They might just as easily have come in one car, or parked closer to one another. But they did not. The stars were finally lining up in his favor.
He came up behind her as she was fitting the key in the lock of the red Corvair. "I'm Buddy," he said softly, so as not to frighten her. Despite his best intention, she whirled around, eyes wide. "Jesus, you scared the shit out of me. What do you want?"
He felt the smile on his face falter. A mask, crumbling. "I just want to talk to you."
"Fuck off, okay? I'm not interested."
With those words, her beauty vanished, as if he'd imagined it. Her mouth was twisted and ugly. Disappointment weighed heavy on him. Anger boiled up from his depths.
"That was wrong of you to say that to me," he said, still speaking quietly.
Belying the softness of his voice, she saw something in his eyes then and he saw that she did, and when she opened her mouth to scream, he stuck her full in the face with his fist.
She slid down the side of the car as if boneless. He caught her before she hit the ground, then dragged her around to the other side of the car, blocking her with his own body in case someone saw them. Not that he was too concerned. If anyone did see them they would just figure she was his girlfriend and that she'd had one too many. But there was no one in the lot. Even her friend had already driven off.
He lowered her limp form to the ground while he hurried round to the driver's side and got the key out of the door. He put on his gloves, and opened the passenger door. After propping her up in the seat, he went back around and slid into the driver's side. Then he turned on the ignition and the car hummed to life.
Shifting the car into reverse, he backed out of the parking spot. He gave the wheel a hard turn and she fell against him, her hair brushing his face and filling his senses with her shampoo, something with a hint of raspberry. He pushed her off him and her head thunked against the passenger window. A soft moan escaped her, but she didn't wake.
He drove several miles out of the city, then turned left onto a rutted dirt road and stayed on it for a good ten minutes. Spotting a clearing leading into the woods, an old logging road no longer used, he eased the car in, bumping over dips and tangled roots. He went in just far enough not to be seen from the road on the off-chance someone drove by, but also taking care he wouldn't get stuck in here. The headlights picked out the white trunks of spruce trees, spot-lighting the leaves that seconds later receded into blackness, as if this were merely a stage set.
Beside him, the woman moaned again then whimpered, her hand moving to her face where he had struck her. Blood trickled darkly down one corner of her mouth and her eyes fluttered open. He knew the instant she sensed him there beside her, like the bogeyman in a nightmare.
Except she was awake now. When she turned to look at him he felt her stiffen, could see in her eyes that she knew she was in big trouble. He almost felt sorry for her. Almost.
"Who are you?" she croaked, more blood leaking from the corner of her mouth, eyes wet with tears.
"What does it matter?"
"Please…please don't hurt me. I'm—I'm sorry for what I said to you. I shouldn't have. If you want to… I mean, it's okay. You don't have to hurt…"
His fury was like lava from a volcano and his hand shot out, the back of it shutting off her words in mid-sentence. "Shut up, whore."
She was crying hard now, heavy, hiccupy sobs, helpless, terrified. But her tears meant nothing to him. She was right to be afraid. He slid the knife from its sheath that hung on his belt and let her see it.
"Oh, God, no please…" She was choking on her tears, wriggling away from him, trapped, like a butterfly on the head of a pin. He smiled when she reached for the door handle on her side, and then drove the knife into her upper arm. She screamed and he wound his fingers into her hair. "Be quiet," he said, while she held her arm with her other hand and wept like a child.
As he had wept. As he wept still.
"You can't get away," he said. "There's no place to go."
Imagine discovering everything you believe about yourself to be a lie. And that the truth could stir a killer from his lair.
Following the death of the woman she believed to be her mother, 28-year-old Naomi Waters learns from a malicious aunt that she is not only adopted, but the product of a brutal rape that left her birth mother, Mary Rose Francis, a teenager of Micmac ancestry, in a coma for 8 months.
Dealing with a sense of betrayal and loss, but with new purpose in her life, Naomi vows to track down Mary Rose's attackers and bring them to justice. She places her story in the local paper, asking for information from residents who might remember something of the case that has been cold for nearly three decades.
She is about to lose hope that her efforts will bear fruit, when she gets an anonymous phone call. Naomi has attracted the attention of one who remembers the case well.
But someone else has also read the article in the paper. The man whose DNA she carries.
And he has Naomi in his sights.

Excerpt: THE ABDUCTION OF MARY ROSE
Chapter One
The teenage girl hurried along the darkening street, head down in a vain attempt to divert attention from herself as she headed for her bus stop, still over a block away. The car behind her was a soft growl in the still, warm air.
It was mid-June, only two weeks till school closed. The air was fragrant with the smell of lilacs that grew here and there along the street. She wore a jean skirt and white cotton shirt, and yet she felt as exposed and vulnerable as if she were naked. She was anticipating the freedom of summer and thinking about spending more time with her new friend Lisa, when she became of aware of the car following her. She had been thinking maybe she and Lisa would swim in the pond edged with the tall reeds, near her house where she sometimes fished with her grandfather. She'd let grandfather meet Lisa. She knew he would like her. It would be impossible not to like Lisa, even though her grandfather didn't quite trust white people.
The growl of the motor grew louder, and she heard the window whisper open on the passenger side, close to her. "Where you goin' in such a hurry, sweet thing?"
She didn't turn around, just kept on her way toward the bus stop, one foot in front of the other, as fast as she could go without running. Music thumped loudly from the car radio, pounding its beat into the night. It was not music she would have listened to, not like the music they'd played on Lisa's tape player tonight, and that she and Lisa had danced to in Lisa's room. Lisa had tried to teach her some new steps; it had been so much fun. They danced to songs by Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross' Mirror, Mirror and a bunch more she couldn't even remember. Lisa had a lot of records.
The music that blasted from the car sounded angry and unpleasant. The car drew up so close to her she could smell the alcohol the men had been drinking, mixed in with the gas fumes.
The car edged even closer to the curb, and the man said something ugly and dirty out the window to her and his words made her face burn, made her feel ashamed as if she had done something wrong though she knew she hadn't. She pretended not to hear, made herself look straight ahead, her eyes riveted on the yellow band around the distant pole that was the bus stop, just up past the graveyard. She kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other, trying not to look scared, and prayed they would go away. Fear made her heart race.
The day was fast fading, the sky a light mauve, only a sprinkling of stars yet. Soon it would be dark. She was always home before dark. Grandfather would be worried. A few more minutes and you'll be at the bus stop, she told herself. Ignore them. But it was impossible to do with the car following so close that the heat from the motor brushed her bare legs, like a monster's breath.
The car crawled along beside her. She moved as far away as she could get, but the pavement was next to none along here and broken. "Hey, sweet thing," the man said. "You trying to get away from us." He laughed.
Despite herself, she turned her head and looked straight into the man's face. He was grinning out at her, showing his square, white teeth, causing her heart to pound even louder than the music. He made her think of the coyotes that sometimes came skulking around grandfather's house at night hunting for small cats and dogs. No. I am wrong. He is not like the coyotes. They are just being coyotes. It is a noble animal. An evil spirit dwells within this beast. One tied with the most fragile of chains. She could feel him straining toward her, teeth bared. She would not have been surprised to see foam coming from his mouth.
Softly, he said, "Hey, Pocahontas, want a ride?"
Feeling as if a hand were at her throat, she darted a look behind her, praying to see someone, anyone, who might help her, but the street was deserted. She'd left the row of wooden houses behind her a good ten minutes ago and was now at River's End Cemetery. There was no sidewalk at all here, just the dirt path, broken curb on her left and the empty field to her right, leading up into the graveyard. If a car comes along, she thought, I'll just run right out into the middle of the road and flag it down. But none did. She visualized herself safely inside the bus and on her way home to Salmon Cove, to her grandfather's small blue house on the reservation. She would tell him all about Lisa, her new best friend from school. Her grandfather would smile at her, and be pleased for her and call her his little Sisup. She fingered the pendant around her neck that he had made for her, a kind of talisman. To keep evil spirits away.
Grandfather didn't always understand the white man's world though, and there would be worry on his weathered face because she was not home yet. But she would make them a pot of tea and they would talk, and he would forget his worry. She was still focused on the bus stop, the utility pole marked by its wide yellow band. With the car so close, the thrum of the motor vibrating through her, the bus stop seemed a mile away. She walked faster, a chill sweeping through her body. She was forced now to walk on the slight incline that led up to the graveyard. Only the ruined curb separated her from her tormentors.
A taxi fled past, but she'd been so intent on getting to the bus stop she'd noticed it too late. It had been going so fast, out of sight already, just pinpoints of taillights in the distance, then nothing.
"Hey, what's your hurry, squawgirl?"
She gave no answer, swallowed, and kept going. When the man did not speak for several minutes, she became even more frightened by his silence than his talk. The boys at school sometimes called her Indian, and other dumb stuff like pretending to be beating on war drums, or doing a rain dance, and though it hurt her feelings and sometimes even made her cry, this was different. The boys thought they were being funny. Not so with this man. She could feel his contempt, even hatred for her, and something else, something that made her mouth and throat dry and her blood race faster. As she continued to put one foot in front of the other on the worn, rocky path edging the graveyard, she was very careful not to stumble and become like the wounded deer under the hungry eye of the wolf, she kept her eyes on the pole with its yellow band. In the darkening sky, a high white moon floated.
Everything in her wanted to break into a run, but a small voice warned her that it would not be a wise thing to do. Anyway, no way could she outrun a car. Why did the bus stop seem so far away? It was like a bad dream, where no matter how fast you run you don't go anywhere, and whatever is behind you ... draws closer and closer.
She shouldn't have stayed so long at Lisa's. But they'd been having such fun, just talking and listening to music, sharing secrets. It was nice to have a best friend, to feel like any other teenager. But you're not like any other teenager. You're an Indian. She should have listened to her grandfather.
The man spoke again. "C'mon, get in, Pocahontas," he said, his tone quiet, chilling her. "We'll have us a little party." He reached a hand out the open window and she shrank from his touch, stumbled, nearly fell, tears blinding her. She heard the driver laugh, a nervous laugh and she knew he was a follower of the other man. There was an exchanged murmur of words she couldn't make out, then, the car angled ever closer to her, wheels scraping the curb, making her jump back.
"Got something for you, sweetheart," the grinning man said. "You'll like it."
More laughter, but only from him now. Adrenaline rushed through her and she started to run, ignoring the warning voice. But it was too late. The car shrieked to a stop and instantly the door flew open and the man burst from the car and grabbed her. She screamed and fought to free herself from the steel arm clamped around her waist, but it was no use. She kicked and clawed at him, but he lifted her off her feet as if she were a rag doll and threw her into the back seat, and scrambled in after her. He shut the door and hit the lock. "Go," he yelled at the driver but the car remained idling. The man looked over his shoulder, started to say something but the man holding her down yelled at him a second time to go, louder, furious, and they took off on squealing tires.
"Please let me out," she begged. "Please…" Her pleas were cut off by a powerful back-hand across the mouth, filling it with the warm, coppery taste of blood. "Gisoolg, help me," she cried out, calling on the spiritual god of her grandfather, and of his grandfather before him. But no answer came.
Up in the graveyard, an owl screeched as it too swooped down on its night prey. And all fell silent.

After the Wage Theft Prevention Act went into effect, restaurant owners and other types of business owners became burdened with paperwork as they complied with annual requirements. They had to provide wage notices to all employees by February 1 of every year. This was a costly and cumbersome requirement.
Recently the New York legislature passed a bill that eliminates the annual reporting requirement. The bill is sitting on Governor Cuomo's desk awaiting his signature.
Business owners must still provide wage notices when hiring a new employees and earnings statements to employees. In fact, the penalties for failing to do so are stiffened by the new bill. Here are some aspects of the new bill you should be aware of:

The mood at this year's Salone del Mobile, the annual international furniture fair in Milan, was decidedly more upbeat than in recent years. Both attendance and business were said to be up. And when you looked beyond the usual sea of off-white sectional sofas, there were plenty of bright spots.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec's surprising turn to wood and wrought iron produced the graceful Officina tables for Magis; a similar idea characterized their Uncino chairs for Mattiazzi. The Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, who these days is doing less product design and more art direction, is now transforming the Finnish company Artek, where her color-block refresh of Alvar Aalto's 401 armchair made the modernist classic look brand new.
Among the introductions at Vitra was a re-issue of Hans Coray's pioneering 1938 Landi aluminum chair. And the venerable Viennese company Gebruder Thonet displayed bentwood pieces with a contemporary twist, like Front's charming hybrid Coat Rack Bench. Cassina's excellent stand, designed by the innovative Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, featured towering trees that appeared to float in mirrored boxes, and a soundtrack of birdsong that enhanced the feeling of a walk in the woods.
Kartell showed new tableware collections, most notably Patricia Uquiola's delectable Jellies Family of translucent plastic plates and glasses. A newcomer to the Salone was the British designer Tom Dixon, who had been known for his attention-getting exhibitions outside the fair. Why now? "It's more radical for me to be conventional," he explained, adding, "My job this year is not entertainment, it's commerce."
The companies who showed outside the fair included Denmark's Hay, whose popup shop showcased the Wrong for Hay collection, including Nathalie du Pasquier's colorful, graphic textile prints. Taken from the designer's archive, they're enjoying a revival and tote bags made from the fabrics were all over town.
Among the new offerings from the German designer Ingo Maurer were lights made of flexible transparent sheets studded with rows of tiny LEDs. And at Rossana Orlandi's space, J. Hill's Standard—a new company dedicated to reviving the nearly lost art of Irish crystal cutting—showed two glassware collections, one by Martino Gamper and the other by the Dutch designers Scholten & Baijings, that employ traditional methods with very modern results.

RaeLynn Declares 'She's Country' With Growly Jason Aldean Cover on 'The Voice'
She may be the youngest contender, but RaeLynn proved she's a leader — with sex appeal beyond her years — on Monday's live quarterfinals episode of 'The Voice.' The 17-year-old country born and bred hopeful kicked things off for Team Blake Shelton, packing a punch with a female version of Jason Aldean's 'She's Country.'
"I don't want to blend in," RaeLynn told viewers before taking the stage. "I live and breathe country music. I'm country to the bone."
She wasn't lying. Sporting her signature flower the size of her head, the blonde sparkplug took the stage with a vengeance, swinging her teenage hips like her life depended on it. And in a way, it did. In an unexpected twist, NBC announced Friday that tonight's live episode would end a little bit differently than most, with the judge choosing to send one of their four remaining performers home before the voting even opened.
Luckily for RaeLynn, Blake Shelton is more than on her side — he's like a father figure to her, almost. When asked if she has a boyfriend, RaeLynn revealed, "I'm a heartbreaker," to which Shelton responded that she does not, and will not, have a boyfriend.
Following her rendition of Aldean — which, by the way, was a standout and a good omen for her future — RaeLynn was met with only compliments. "You make me wanna sing country," Christina Aguilera said. "You are a little bada–. You get the job done."
The other judges echoed that sentiment, as expected, with Adam Levine kicking and cursing himself for not having her on his team. As for Shelton, who watched like a proud papa bear the whole time, he said simply, "You just proved that country music can come out here and kick a–."
Where are those critics now? Assuming she's safe in Shelton's mind, fans can vote to keep RaeLynn for another week when the voting opens following Monday's episode.
Watch RaeLynn Perform Jason Aldean's 'She's Country' on 'The Voice'

A new planter add-on that's getting a lot of buzz this year is Precision Planting's WaveVision seed sensor. It is a replacement seed tube and seed sensor designed to ensure that seeds are evenly spaced without doubles or skips, which would otherwise lead to yield loss.
Steve Nokleby, farmer and Precision Planting representative, gave me a preview of the product last November from his office headquarters in Montevideo, MN. (See video at http://bit.ly/fDsY2Z.) He says unlike standard seed tubes that use a light beam to monitor for seed singulation, WaveVision seed sensor measures the density of the seed as it passes through the seed tube. This allows a more accurate reading of individual seeds as they pass through the seed tube because it can tell whether one or two seeds (doubles) are being dropped. Doubled-up seeds result in yield loss because the two seeds have to compete for nutrients. Nokleby says another advantage the new seed sensor has over standard light beam sensors is that it is not affected by dust, again giving a more accurate reading.
Nokleby also showed me two other planter add-ons that Precision Planting introduced in the last couple of years. One is the 20/20 AirForce, a downforce control system that uses air to keep each planter unit in the ground at just the right depth. Nokleby says it adjusts for different planting conditions to avoid applying too much pressure on the ground, which could otherwise result in soil compaction, another yield robber.
The other product is called CleanSweep. Using the same principle as the 20/20 AirForce, it uses an air cylinder to control the downpressure on either a Martin or Yetter floating row cleaner. It also allows you to lift your row cleaners out of the ground on-the-go when planting conditions change throughout the day.
For more information about these products, go to http://www.precisionplanting.com.
For my next blog post, I'll walk you through Nokleby's own innovative planter setup.

Apple chief executive Tim Cook is looking for new faces for Apple's board of directors, according to reports.
A profile of Cook which explained his leadership of the tech company and how it differed from his predecessor and founder Steve Jobs, including how Cook was interested in the company, including adding new members to the board, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"The only thing that Steve [Jobs] cared about was creating great products. The company, the employees were only there to facilitate that goal," a former employee told the WSJ. "Tim is much more worried about everything at the company."
That includes Apple's board. According to people familiar with the company, Mr. Cook is actively seeking new directors to add to Apple's eight-person board, known for its loyalty to Mr. Jobs. Six of the seven outside directors are aged 63 or older. Four of them have served for more than a decade, including two who have been on the board since the late 1990s: former Intuit Corp. Chief Executive Bill Campbell and J. Crew Group Inc. Chief Executive Millard S. "Mickey" Drexler.
Cook has added Disney chief Bob Iger and promoted Art Levinson to be chairman, but likely wants to add to the board and put his own stamp on it -- including adding people who may be able to advise Apple on some of its latest projects including the so-called iWatch or on health and fitness.

Video: No suspicious circumstances in Martham mushroom farm blaze
PUBLISHED: 11:12 23 March 2014 | UPDATED: 14:33 23 March 2014
James Taylor Photographic
An investigation into a fire that ripped through a former mushroom farm has revealed there are no suspicious circumstances behind the blaze.
Ten fire crews were sent to the site, off White Street in Martham at around 4.30pm on Friday.
At the height of the blaze around 100 firefighters were on scene, battling to contain the blaze, which has devastated buildings on the large plot.
Crews from Acle, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Stalham, North Walsham and Hethersett plus two water carriers, an environment protection unit and a control unit attended the blaze.
They battled the flames into the evening, keeping a watching brief overnight and damping down hot spots yesterday morning.
The fire service said today that an investigation at the site has shown there to be no suspicious circumstances.
Several residents in Bradfield Drive were evacuated from their homes on Friday evening due to concerns over canisters on the site, and a 100 metre cordon was put in place around the disused buildings.
A handful of residents were sent to a temporary rest centre at the village community centre in Rollesby Road, but all were allowed back in their homes by 10.30pm.
Mark Johnson, watch manager at Martham said the brigade's priority had been to contain the blaze, which involved several buildings, propane cylinders and asbestos.
"It spread from one building to a complex of barns and rapidly went through those, so our main priorities were to protect the housing estate on Bradfield Drive," he said.
"There was asbestos and they're quite old, disused buildings as well so structurally they were unsound. While there was no rescue to do we wouldn't commit personal into unsafe structures.
"We were just containing the fire."
He added: "There were cylinders involved so residents were moved but were allowed back once we knew the cylinders were no longer a danger."
The fire comes just a few weeks after another fire at the same disused barn when 100 bales of hay went up in flames.
During that incident, on January 29, firefighters and police were called out at 11pm.
The blaze was brought under control but, due to the size of the hay bales, fire officers decided that letting them burn out would be the most appropriate course of action.

The recent revelation that the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI subpoenaed the phone records of the Associated Press' Washington, D.C., bureau is an affront to some of the most fundamental rights of Americans, and those who were responsible should be fully held accountable.
Free people are only as free as their press. When the government acts to interfere in the work of the free press — or, as in this case, acts to intimidate those who would speak to the free press — it not only affects those who work in the press, but the public, as well.
It doesn't take a "magic bullet theory" to deduce the government was attempting to discover the identity of anonymous sources within the State Department who had been feeding information about the Benghazi consulate attack to the AP. The net effect was an attempt to silence whistleblowers.
Inside "The Beltway," the use of anonymous sources is practically a job requirement for journalists. And while it is generally frowned upon by most journalists, it is the only way to get information about the wrongdoing of government officials and agencies in the hands of those who most need it: the public.
How does this affect you, in Newton, Iowa? Like many small newspapers across the country, we cannot afford to have a full-time journalist stationed in our nation's capital. So, we rely upon the reporting of news services who do — specifically the AP — to provide us with national news coverage.
While we don't always provide that national coverage in our print pages, it is readily available to the public on our website. But, when the AP cannot ensure the identity of its sources will remain confidential, how could any reasonable person expect those sources to continue to provide their valuable information to the AP?
Earlier this week, The Media Coalition for the Freedom of the Press joined the AP in protesting the government's gross misuse of its subpoena powers, citing specific sections of U.S. Code that were violated in the wiretapping situation. Our parent company, Shaw Media, is not a member of that group, and as was previously noted, we are not members of the Washington Press Corps.
That being the case, the Newton Daily News enjoins the Washington media's protest of our government's abuse of power.
The preceding represents the views of the Newton Daily News Editorial Board. Readers are encouraged to respond with letters to the editor.

Jeffrey Neely, one of the embattled General Services Administration executives at the centre of the agency's wasteful spending scandal, refused to testify in Congress today about a $822,751 Las Vegas training conference that he helped plan. Invoking his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, Neely declined to comment on the lavish conference, which featured a mind-reader, a clown, commemorative coin giveaways, and a strange award ceremony in which he mocked President Barack Obama. Neely was placed on administrative leave this month after a scathing report from the GSA's inspector general revealed the excesses at the conference, and is now facing a possible criminal investigation into his activities at the GSA, according to the Washington Post.
ABC's Jake Tapper may have stumbled upon the reason behind Neely's silence. Earlier this afternoon, Tapper reported on a trove of photos from two of six pre-conference "planning trips" to Las Vegas on Neely's wife Deborah's Google Plus page. show the GSA executive living it up in a fancy suite at Las Vegas' M Resort Spa & Casino.
The photos, contained in the albums M [email protected] Nov2009, Las Vegas 1109, and Room Party Las Vegas M March 2010, show the Neelys and other GSA employees enjoying themselves in luxurious hotel suites overlooking the Nevada desert. Overall, the albums paint a pretty unflattering picture of Neely and his agency.
According to the OIG report, agency executives spent over $30,000 on catering on their pre-conference trips
But at least Neely got some work done on the trip — although it seems like the wine bottles were never far

Importantly, the instrument is modelled on the original bass which was given to jazz legend Ray Brown (who performed at the club many times by his one-time wife Ella Fitzgerald.
The original bass was built by AMATI , an Italian family of violin makers active in the 16th to 18th centuries and are held in such high esteem as the Stradivarius and Guarneri families
The bass has taken approximately 9 months (covered in 8 coats of varnish!) to produce from scratch by Laurence Dixon, a Clapham-based master instrument maker. Ronnie Scott's is indebted to the renowned Stentor instrument makers for donating the wood for the bass.
The original bass is still in existence and is played by a Canadian bass player in the Toronto Philharmonic. Laurence has been in regular contact with him so as to replicate key unique characteristics of the bass such as the 'f' holes, machine heads and the neck 'scroll'.
The bass has become the 'house bass', and is played primarily by house bassist Sam Burgess but also by visiting headline musicians. It's first 'outing' was with the Mingus Big Band and bandleader/bass player Boris Kozlov who immediately took a shine to the instrument and played it every show during the band's 6 night residency!
Our House Bassist Sam Burgess uses Innovation Bass Strings. Here is a short promo video, featuring Sam talking and explaining why he uses them, amongst other things ...

Apparently, you can only add so much horsepower. Sooner or later you have to start subtracting weight. Lamborghini has reached that point, exquisitely so, with its Sesto Elemento concept car at the Paris motor show.
While rumors have abounded for months that next year's Murcielago replacement will be a full carbon-fiber supercar, the Sesto Elemento concept car hints that even the next Gallardo, which isn't due for another two years, will use the high-tech composite material.
That's because the Sesto Elemento is about the right size for a Gallardo replacement and runs the same V10 powerplant to produce some truly astonishing performance claims.
Lamborghini insists the car (the name means "Sixth Element" in English, represents carbon's place on the periodic table and moves away from a tradition of using the names of fighting bulls) will explode to 60 mph in less than 2.5 seconds--which would make it the fastest Lamborghini in history and much faster than any production V12 Murcielago. It boasts 570 hp out of its naturally aspirated, direct-injection V10, an engine shared with the current Gallardo Superleggera. It also runs a development of the Gallardo's current six-speed e-gear transmission, with a viscous-coupled all-wheel-drive system and a self-locking rear differential.
The enormous performance jump comes not from the horsepower available, but from a breakthrough carbon-composite chassis. The Sesto Elemento will be the first car to use new carbon production techniques drawn from Lamborghini's work with Boeing. Lamborghini has been experimenting with different ways to make carbon-fiber parts efficiently and at a lower cost, including new takes on resin transfer molding, forged composite and autoclave molding.
The 2008 Estoque sedan concept had some carbon fiber. And the current crop of cars, while sporting aluminum chassis, have carbon-fiber parts here and there, including the rear wing, engine cover and a few body parts. But none approach the carbon-fiber content of the Sesto Elemento. Its extensive use of that material results in a weight of just 999 kg, or just less than 2,200 pounds.
That clocks in at a weight-to-power ratio of 3.85 pounds per horsepower, even though the car remains true to Lamborghini's all-wheel-drive ethos. (We reckon that figure could be even more impressive if they'd used rear-wheel drive, as found in the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni edition). Besides having a top speed of well above 186 mph, it also has emissions and fuel-economy benefits compared with the current Gallardo, even though the two cars run essentially the same engine, all part of Lamborghini's priorities for the future.
"Until a few years ago, supercar priorities were in this order: top speed, acceleration and handling," said Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini CEO. "This has been changing. Speed is not as important anymore because all super-sports cars exceed 300 km/h [186 mph] and this is a speed you cannot reach even on a racetrack, let alone normal roads.
"We think it is time to make a shift and talk more about handling and acceleration and the key factor is the power-to-weight ratio. And because CO2 emissions play a role for super sports cars, too, that means the key is in reducing the weight."
With a raft of Lamborghini patents under its belt, the mid-engined Sesto Elemento is a research vehicle above all else. So far, the car you see here is not a production vehicle.
"The Sesto Elemento was developed as a demonstration platform for Lamborghini's materials technology, including new approaches in the use of carbon fiber," the company said. "At this point, there are no plans to produce [it]. Lamborghini will work to integrate its material technology into future road vehicles."
The Raging Bull's first foray into carbon fiber was a carbon-chassised Countach in 1983. The Sesto Elemento is far more advanced than Lamborghini's original carbon car (which was sacrificed to crash testing in 1984), using a one-piece monocoque as its focal point.
The tub is made of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) but uses innovative sheet-molded composite and low-temperature, low-pressure manufacturing systems instead of the more conventional systems used by accepted carbon maestros such as McLaren and Pagani.
Also unlike McLaren, the entire front frame, all of the car's panels and its front crash boxes are also CFRP as a result of a four-year collision simulation analysis with Boeing and the University of Washington. But while other cars might be carbon-based, even the Sesto Elemento's seats are formed into the carbon tub, with thin seat padding glued directly to the chassis and the driving position adjusted unconventionally, by moving the steering wheel and pedals.
The full carbon theme doesn't stop there, because not only are the body panels all carbon but so are the wheels, the suspension hardware and even the exhaust. It's all necessary, Winkelmann insists.
"From the middle of the '80s, the average weight of our cars has increased by 700 kgs [1,540 pounds] because of active and passive safety, comfort and emissions reductions issues, and this is something we have to change. We cannot reduce safety or comfort, so we have to reduce the weight by using new materials.
"We started working with carbon-fiber in Sant'Agata more than 30 years ago and, with our two laboratories in Sant'Agata and Seattle, we are mastering a broad range of technologies to put us in a leadership position for low-volume production," he said.
The body consists of two clamshell style carbon-fiber covers for the front and rear ends, a roof and the two-piece doors, with the inner lining bonded directly to the outer skins. Called "Cofango" by Lamborghini's Centro Stile design department, the clamshell systems simplify the manufacture of the panels and improve their accuracy as well. And they can be lifted off with one hand. The name comes from a combination of two Italian words: "Cofano," which means the hood and, "Parafango" which means the fender.
If that sounds radical, try the exhaust system, which has been molded from Pyrosic--a matrix composite of ceramic powder and synthetic resin that can cope with temperatures of up to 900 degrees, even as they exit, radically, through the engine bay's upper cover.
But the car won't just be fast in a straight line, Winkelmann insists it's highly accurate carbon suspension systems will set new standards in handling, braking and steering accuracy as well.
The control arms use Sheet Molding Compound (another carbon derivative) to give them strength and to reduce their weight by 30 percent over aluminum.
"A clear strength of CFRP is the reduction and integration of components--something that has been used to its full extent in this innovative technology concept," he said. "We put all our technical competence into one stunning form to create the Sesto Elemento."
Full of abruptly finishing lines and based around the design DNA of the Reventon, the Sesto Elemento is, at the least, a pointer to the visual concepts behind the next Gallardo.
There's a double-lipped spoiler, a tiny rear overhang and triangular themes recurring throughout the car. A large rear spoiler is helped aerodynamically by a large rear diffuser.
Some of the few major aluminum parts on the Sesto Elemento (besides the engine) are the rear subframe, the engine cradle and the rear suspension points.
It is one of the most exciting and promising concepts we've seen in years, truly a sea change in sports and supercar philosophy. Now, if they'd just let us drive it.

Orange County, like other large counties in California, is full of cities, special districts and other local governments. With the state facing a persistent budget crisis, is it time to consolidate local governments into one?
Fred Smoller, a scholar and administrator at Brandman University in Orange County, says yes. He argues in a piece at PublicCEO.com that Orange County, with its 34 cities and 3 million people, should be consolidated into one city. And the cost savings are just the least of it. He writes that a consolidated City of Orange County, despite its size, would be easier to understand and thus more accountable to the public:
"Fragmented government undermines democracy. It is impossible for citizens and the media to monitor so many elected officials and candidates for public office. Long election ballots produce voter fatigue and disengagement from civic life. With no one watching, it is not surprising that we are the largest municipality in the nation to declare bankruptcy and that our sheriff is in prison."
U.S. & World
Smoller's argument is a strong one and begs questions that people in various California regions could ask themselves: would government consolidation in your area make officials more accountable? And what sort of consolidation makes the most sense?

Wild sourdough starter questions (newbie)
I'm attempting to create my own wild sourdough starter. I took a look at Sourdoughlady's recipe for starter, but it was a bit intimidating, so I went for the Joy of Cooking recipe. I've been following it pretty closely, but I'm not sure when it's done.
First, a couple of facts:
- It doesn't smell weird -- just normal ... maybe a little "yeasty"
- There are bubbles in it ... not a tremendous amount, but a decent amount
- It does rise some ... maybe 20% after each feeding.
- Also, no hooch on the top.
During the feeding last night, I was playing around with it and noticed that it's very creamy ... nothing at all like a dough. It looks to have the same texture as very creamy melted cheese. I'm not sure what that means ... something I read implied if that happened it means the yeast had already consumed (?) all the gluten and there wasn't anything else to feed on (therefore less bubbles).
The Joy of Cooking recipe doesn't include throwing any out ... not sure if I'm okay as it is, or if I should continue feeding on 12 hour schedule until it doubles, or if I'm doomed.

As you have just heard the ground of the calling and doctrines of the preachers, we will proceed, and through the grace of God point out by the Scriptures how the true apostles, bishops, teachers and pastors, in the church of Christ, should conduct themselves in their deportment and lives; it is not enough that a man appears to speak much of the word of the Lord, but what he says must also be maintained by a devout and unblamable conduct, as the Scriptures teach.
Thus says Paul, "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection; lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast‑away," 1 Cor. 9:27. If it becomes the hearers and disciples to lead an unblamable life, how much more does it become teachers, because they rule the hearers and are their overseers; as Paul says, "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation," Heb. 13:7.
He also admonishes Timothy thereto, and says, "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity," 1 Tim. 4:12. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works; in doctrine, shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, &c., Tit. 2:7. For it is undoubtedly proper, if any one teaches and reproves others, that he first himself be rightly taught and unblamable, as Paul teaches, " If a man desire the office of a bishop he desireth a good work: A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride, he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil, he must be sober, just, holy, temperate; holding fast the faithful word, as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine, both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers; even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things," 1 Tim. 3:1‑11; Titus 1:8, 9.
Behold dear reader, it is requisite that every preacher and teacher, who would rightly govern and rule in the church of God, be thus qualified; for if any one were to reprove and teach others, and is himself not blameless and is ignorant; he will justly have to hear; Why do you teach others and teach not yourself first! Thou teachest a man should not steal, and thou dost steal. Thou sayest a man should not commit adultery, and thou dost. Thou adhorrest idols, yet thou committest sacrilege. Thou boastest of the law of God; and dishonorest God by breaking the law, Rom. 2:21‑23.
All those thus called, who are in doctrine sound, and unblamable in life, may teach, 61exhort, reprove, root up, and build in the name of the Lord; their labors will not be fruitless, as may be seen, in the case of Moses, Samuel, Elias, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Peter, Paul, John, and with all the true prophets, apostles and servants of God, who preached the word unblamably in the power of the Spirit.
Their doctrine cuts like a sharp edged sword, for it has power, it is fruitful, has spirit and energy, as the prophet says, "As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater, so shall my word be, that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it," Isa. 55:10, 11.
Yea, all those who enter the vineyard of the Lord with such a sending or calling, and with such a spirit, doctrine and conduct, as said, are the shepherds of whom it is written, "I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding," Jer. 3:15.
They are the teachers who turn many to righteousness; and they shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, as the stars forever, Dan. 12:3.
They are the spiritual streams, and the rivers of the paradise of Christ, which issue from the fountains of the paradise of God, to irrigate and fertilize the whole country, Gen. 2:10‑14.
They are the spiritual posts and pillars in the court of the tabernacle of Moses with hangings of fine twined linen, Exod. 27:9.
They are the three score valiant men, of the valiant of Israel, who are around Solomon's bed; they all hold swords; being expert in war; every man with his sword upon his thigh, because of fear in the night, Cant. 3:7,8.
They are the seven horns or trumpets, of the golden years, before whose sounds, teaching and preaching, the walls of Jericho fell, that is, all false doctrine, all powers and dominions raised up against the true Joshua, Jesus Christ, and his people, are brought low, Josh. 6:10.
They are the beautiful messengers of peace, who preach the gospel of grace, favor, mercy, love, and peace, and bring glad tidings of good things, to us, poor, miserable, troubled sinners, Isaiah 52:7; Rom. 10:15.
They are seven mighty mountains, whereupon grow roses and lilies, whose sweet scent refreshes with joy all who fear the Lord, 2 Esd. 2:19.
They are the splendid crown of twelve stars of the woman, pregnant and in travail, Rev. 12:1, 2.
They are the walls of the new and heavenly Jerusalem, based upon the twelve foundations, that is upon the ground and doctrine of the twelve apostles, Rev. 21:14.
See, worthy reader, with such and similar glorious images and parables, are all the pious pastors and teachers honored in the Scriptures, whom the Holy Ghost has ordained as bishops and overseers in his church, congregation and house.
These may say with holy Paul, Follow us as we are the followers of Christ, "for our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile, but as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts; for neither at any time, used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness. Nor of men sought we glory," 2 Thess. 2:3‑6.
I repeat it, These are they who gather with Christ what has been scattered, bind up the wounded, and heal the sick, for they are influenced by the Spirit of the Lord and urged by unfeigned love. They are vigilant, and assiduous in the discharge of entrusted duties. They fight daily with the weapon of obedience. They tear down, break and destroy all that which is against the word of God, not by external power, with sword and spear, but by the preaching of the holy word, in power and spirit, with the word of the Lord. They till, sow, water and plant. They cut down what is ripe. They gather their grain and sheaves, and carry them into the Lord's barn, and their fruits will abide unto eternal life.
Since the Scriptures require such teachers, 62

Located to the northwest of Guadeloupe, Saint Barthélemy is a very small island, hardly more than 25 km2. It is divided into valleys, most of which open out to the sea, and possess different natural characteristics. The island's flora, culture and architecture are all very unique. That is why the island seems much bigger than it really is.
Saint Barts, as it is commonly known, is the perfect place for those who can appreciate natural beauty. At the wheel of a little 4x4, drive along the winding roads to explore the 22 fine, clean, white sandy beaches that surround the island, including the Baie de Saint-Jean, Anse des Flamands, Colombier, Corossol, les Salines, and Lorient. Each one is more attractive than the one before. Most of these beaches are protected from the ocean swell by a coral reef.
Saint Barts is a perfect place to try out the many water sports available to enthusiasts. Here, diving is particularly popular. With a simple tuba or oxygen cylinders, the views of the seabed around the island are spectacular.Saint-Barts has become a well-known destination for big game fishing. Catches are frequent, and sometimes reach impressive sizes. Are you ready to tackle tuna, barracuda, and blue or white marlins?

Entry formalities:
For citizens of the European Union, the European Economic Area, Andorra, Monaco or Switzerland, visas are not required; an identity card is sufficient. You will however need a passport if you intend to visit other Caribbean islands. For nationals from other countries who are staying for a duration of three months or less, a valid passport is sufficient.
Time difference with Paris:
- 5 hours in winter, - 6 hours in summer
Tropical dry
Average temperature:
Getting there:
You can reach the island via St. Martin and Guadeloupe. Saint-Barthélemy is linked via Air Caraibes (External link) to Saint Martin, which in turn has links with Europe by Air France/KLM. The shuttle service runs frequently, and the flight only lasts 10 minutes. There are also direct flights to Guadeloupe, but most of them go via Saint Martin. From there, charter flights are available, as well as two ferries a day (embarking at Marigot).

Item #0223
28-50 days. Also known as simply, "Viroflay", the huge, deep green, tender leaves are a spinach lover's delight! Give it a bit more room in your plot; the plant can get up to 2' wide, and with 10" long, tender leaves, spinach production is a snap! Extremely vigorous, and particularly good for fall sowings. Use the thinned seedlings fresh in salads.
This packet sows nine 10-foot rows.

Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost, when soil temperature is above 40°F, or as soon as the soil can be worked. Successive Sowings: Every 2 to 3 weeks until 4 weeks before the first fall frost. If mulched, spinach can overwinter in sub-zero temperatures. Soil temperatures above 75°F halt germination.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: Pick individual leaves from outer edges of plant as they become big enough to use, or cut the whole plant 1" above the ground, and new leaves will be produced. Harvest before the plant sends up a flower stalk.

Not a fake this time. From today's edition of Goldman Sachs' Commodity Watch (dated March 13th)
After trending lower throughout most of 2014H2, gold prices rallied in the first few weeks of 2015 as US economic data softened, the CHF peg was unexpectedly removed and European QE was unveiled. While negative interest rates in
Europehave led to an increase in gold ETF inflows and some support for prices, the subsequent normalization of US interest rates (10Y TIPS increased from a 3bp trough in late January to almost 40bps currently) has been the dominant force pushing prices lower. Indeed, prices have fallen more rapidly than our previous forecast path suggested. We roll our forecasts forward to $1,270, $1,220 and $1,100/toz in 3-, 6- and 12-months (from $1,290, $1,270 and $1,175 previously).
In line with our economist's forecasts for continued growth, labor market recovery and increase in US real rates, we maintain our long-held bearish outlook on gold prices. Consensus now sees the first Fed rate hike arriving in June, compared to our expectation for a September lift-off. But the exact timing is likely to be data dependent. As such, we have greater confidence in our longer-term directional bearish view on gold, while recognizing that the next few months could see higher volatility.
COURT BAILIFF'S SALE OF MINERAL TENURESLOCATED IN NORTHERN B.C.For Sale: Mineral Tenures formerly held by Teuton Resources Corp. (the "Mineral Tenures") pursuant to a Supreme Court of British Columbia Writ of Seizure and Sale filed on January 23, 2015 in BC Supreme Court Action No. S107895.Approximately 235 Mineral Tenures, primarily in the Stewart – Premier – Sulpherets - Eskay Creek - Red Chris region of Northwestern British Columbia (the "Golden Triangle"), generally described by Teuton as:Bay Silver, Big Gold, Bonsai, Campbell Ridge, Clone, Del Norte, Eskay Rift, Fiji, Four J's, Gold Mountain, Harry, High South, High North, Konkin Silver, Lord Nelson, Melt, Midas, Orion, Pintore, Silver Bell, Silver Crown, Stamp, Tennyson, Tonga, and Yellow Chris.A complete list of Mineral Tenures, Terms and Bid Documents may be obtained from Accurate Court Bailiff Services Ltd. (the "Court Bailiff").Bidding Ends: 12:00 Noon, Pacific DST, March 27, 2015Terms/Conditions:
During the fourth quarter of 2014 and subsequent to the year-end, the Company completed an updated metallurgical sampling and analysis program as part of an expansion study for the Masbate Mine along with an updated life-of-mine plan based on 2014 year end reserve and resource estimates. The updated metallurgical study has resulted in 3% lower projected life of mine recoveries due to a number of factors including an increase, at depth, in the amount of sulphide ore type that has lower projected recoveries and the mining out over the course of 2013 and 2014 of predominantly oxide ore, which has the highest recoveries.
The lower projected recoveries, lower long-term gold price assumption of $1,300 per ounce (as compared to a spot gold price of $1,676 per ounce at the CGA acquisition date) and a decision not to proceed with Masbate Mill expansion at this time impacted the current value of the Masbate Mine. As a result, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $305.2 million (pre-tax $436.0 million less $130.8 million deferred tax recovery) at year end 2014 (See "Critical Accounting Estimates").
For the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company generated a net loss of $356.8 million ($(0.39) per share) compared to net income of $26.2 million ($0.04 per share) in the comparable period of 2013. Adjusted net (loss) income (refer to "Non-IFRS Measures") was $(8.4) million ($(0.01) per share) compared to $0.6 million ($0.00 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted net loss in the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily excluded the non-cash impairment of Masbate long-lived assets of $436.0 million, deferred income tax recovery of $109.6 million, write-off of mineral property of $21.1 million and a non-cash mark-to-market gain of $21.0 million relating to the overall change in fair value of the Company's convertible senior subordinated notes.
And that's the way we like it.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 10, 2015) -

Acquisition of 70% of JPQ
The Company's Peruvian subsidiary, Agrifos Peru S.A.C. has signed a purchase agreement with the shareholders (the "Vendors") of JPQ, titleholder of the Bayovar 12 concession, whereby the Company will pay to the Vendors US$4.0 million to purchase an outright 70% interest in shares of JPQ (the "Bayovar Interest"), and thereby cancelling its previously granted option agreement to earn such interest. The terms of the purchase agreement are as follows:
Loan Facility
- the Company will purchase the Bayovar Interest by paying US$4 million cash to the Vendors;
- the Company will commit to spending a minimum of US$14 million in development of the Project, without dilution to the Vendors' remaining 30% interest;
- if after spending US$14 million, further funding is needed to determine the viability of a phosphate operation, the Company will make additional expenditures of up to US$4 million of which 30% will be treated as a loan to the Vendors;
- the Company has agreed to complete a pre-feasibility study by December 31, 2015 or else a US$500,000 penalty payment will be due to the Vendors, plus additional $500,000 penalty payments for each additional year that the study is not completed, to a maximum of US$2,000,000 in penalty payments;

The Facility is subject to a number of conditions, including among other things completion of non-technical due diligence, completion of loan documentation, approval by the Lender's partners, and approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. Focus and the Lender are targeting satisfaction of the conditions precedent and first draw down of the Facility on or about 25 March, 2015.
Key terms of the Facility are:
In addition, Focus has agreed to an exclusivity period through April 27, 2015, where it is restricted from engaging in discussions with alternate finance providers. Should Focus elect not to proceed with the Facility (in a situation where the Lender is prepared to complete the closing and advance the Facility), Focus is required to pay a fee to the Lender equal to 50% of the Commitment Fee.
- Facility amount of US$5.0 million, with an interest rate of 12% per annum;
- Facility to be repaid by September 30, 2016;
- Repayable prior to maturity, in full or in part, at the option of Focus, provided a minimum of 6 months of interest has been paid; and

The dollar is in trouble. Its value on foreign exchange markets has been falling for the past six years, and now its gradual decline is about to become a rout. This spells big trouble for the American economy—but potential riches for smart investors. In The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It, financial gurus James Turk and John Rubino show how the dollar arrived at this precipice, why it will continue to plunge, and how you can profit from the resulting financial crisis.
The United States today is the world's biggest debtor nation. To finance this mountain of debt, we're flooding the world with dollars. The resulting oversupply of dollars will cause its value to decline until it is displaced as the world's dominant currency.
There has been a lot of bullish talk in the metals community about zinc and nickel over the past couple of years, as many insiders believe those commodities are poised for a rally. You can include Clarus Securities analyst Mike Bandrowski in that group.He published a detailed note on Tuesday that suggests zinc and nickel have "imminent" upside and will perform very strongly over the next two years as inventories disappear.In the case of zinc, Mr. Bandrowski noted the market is already in deficit, and that deficit should get bigger following the closures of the Lisheen and Century mines this year. He said exchange inventories have fallen by more than half over the last two years and should be at "critical" levels later in 2015."We believe the lack of funding in zinc mine development and exploration has now caught up with the marketplace and zinc prices will respond in 2015," he said in a note."Despite the broad commodity sell-off, zinc has held up quite well, likely an indication of the favourable supply/demand fundamentals."

|Step 2: Know your back anatomy
Before we discuss the causes of back pain, it will help you to understand the bones, nerves, and muscles in and around your spine. An abnormal function of the vertebrae, disks, ligaments, muscles, and nerves coming out of the spine may cause pain.
The spine
The spine is a column of small bones, called vertebrae, that run along the center of your back. The vertebrae support your trunk and upper body and protect the nerves that connect the brain to the rest of your body. This. bundle of nerves is called the spinal cord. The spinal column is grouped into different sections:
- Cervical spine: these 7 vertebrae support the neck.
- Thoracic spine: these 12 vertebrae are attached to the ribs in the chest.
- Lumbar spine: these 5 vertebrae are the lowest and largest bones of the spinal column.
- The sacrum, a shield-shaped bone, connects your back to your pelvis.
- The coccyx (tailbone) is at the end. It consists of tiny vertebrae fused together.
The lumbar vertebrae bear more of your body's weight and stress than any other part of your back. Therefore, this region (the lower back) is the most likely to get injured.
Each vertebra is referred to by a particular letter and number. The letter is the region (C=cervical, T=thoracic, and L=lumbar), and the number specifies the vertebra within that region. For example, C4 is the fourth bone down in the cervical region, and T8 is the eighth thoracic vertebra.
If you reach around and feel along your spine, you would be touching bony projections along the back of the vertebrae. These are called spinous processes. Your doctor counts these (C1-C7, T1-T12, and L1-L5) to tell from where your pain and injury may be coming. Imaging tests, like an x-ray or MRI, may be used to pinpoint the location and cause with more certainty.
For example, you may hear your doctor say after the exam that "your pain is between L3 and L5." After an MRI, the doctor may indicate the precise location and nature of the problem. For example, "you have a herniated disk between L4 and L5."
The disks
Between each vertebra is a disk that cushions and protects it. The outside of the disk, called the annulus fibrosus, is largely made of cartilage. The inside of the disk, called the nucleus pulposus, is a jelly-like substance that contains a lot of water.
Surrounding structures
The vertebrae and disks of the back are surrounded by numerous muscles (called paraspinous muscles) and ligaments. These provide strength and support for movement, including lifting and bending. They are often referred to as soft-tissues because they are not hard, like bone.
Stomach and chest muscles also support your back. When these muscles are strong and well-conditioned, they help reduce the stress on your lower back by redistributing weight.
Most people fear that they have hurt their spine or disk when they experience back pain. That is much less common than straining your paraspinous muscles or other surrounding soft-tissue.
|The spine is surrounded by a surprising number of muscles and ligaments at different levels. These give the spine great strength. Click each button above to see different layers of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones of the back.
