The evolution of money has gone from physical phase to digital stage. Skipjack announces the birth of Encrypcurrency as the next phase of digital currency outside cryptocurrency. However, in the next couple of years to come, the term Encrypcurrency would defiantly gain ground in public eyes.
Encrypcurrency is a digital asset created from the weakness of cryptocurrency and designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses encryption algorithm to secure its transactions, to control the creation of additional units, and to verify the transfer of assets. However, it is classified as a subset of digital currencies and is classified as a subset of alternative currencies and virtual currencies. To learn more about Encrypcurrency, please refer to the article, “Encrypcurrency and Encrypbanking: Next phase of digital currency”.
Incredible Benefits of Encrypcurrency in the society?
Encrypcurrency has a great role to play in every society, economy, government and global market in general. You see, for the past years, the global sector have wanted something unique to improve the global financial industry and I think Encrypcurrency is a key.
Faster transaction – unlike crypto currencies and bitcoin, Encrypcurrency is powered to transact a speed 100,000 times faster than bitcoin. This is made possible as the DWC group implemented the “Differential Update State (DUS) Functionality” and “Compound Request (CR) Functionality” technology on the Superencryp Block. However, after series of test-run, it is confirmed that they achieved 250,000 transaction speeds per second, whereas the blockchain method handles only 5 transactions per second. This makes it 50,000 times faster on the first version of test and then to 100,000 times faster transaction speed.
Lower fees – You are aware with the transaction fees being levied on our bank accounts per transactions. Also, fees in maintaining credit cards and also transacting any form of fiat currency are usually hefty. Encrypcurrency supports a very low transaction fee almost to nothing. This is one of the major benefits of Encrypcurrency to the society. Individuals get to execute series of transaction home or abroad without noticing the transaction fee being charged due to its low to no cost compared to bank transfers.
Global Acceptance & Accessibility – according to statistics, there are over 2.2 Billion with internet access and mobile phones with no access to traditional exchange. Therefore, these people are can easily access Encrypcurrency. However, Encrypcurrency will have a global acceptance points which is made easy for everyone to access. So, you don’t need an account manager or software for withdrawal, with just mobile phones and internet, you can assess Encrypcurrency.
Highly secured – security is one thing that has always mattered in the financial industry. Encrypcurrency is offering the most security production block chiper algorithm in the world, a highly secured encryption algorithm used by the US NSA for over 40yrs. Blockchain only offers 1 layer encrypt but Superencryp Block covers a super layer encrypt. I advise you refer to this article, “Superencryp Block cipher, technology behind encrypcurrency”.
Facilitate International trade – Encrypcurrency limits no one to the amount of transactions they make. The huge benefit of Encrypcurrency is that it facilitates international trade, meaning, you get to transact from any part of the world without hassle. Due to its global acceptance & accessibility, you can trade from any part of the world and as fast as possible.
Immediate settlement – Encrypcurrency provides a quick peer-to-peer transaction eliminating every form of third party or central bank. This means, you don’t need to wait for weeks to confirm transaction before receiving or sending out money. The Superencryp Block technology is based on trust, and we trust the computer, so whenever users send out money, the transaction is represented online as a superencryp block. After this, then superencryp is broadcast to every dime in the network and those checkers in the FCN (Feistel Core Network) approve the transaction is valid by matching block. Finally, the superencryp can be added to the block, provides double security and transparent record before moving the money from “A” to “B” from FCN network. This process happens pretty fast.
No Inflation – Skipjack Encrypcurrency has been designed as a deflationary currency, so it has a strictly limited money supply. This is what the financial economy needs, however as a deflationary currency, it increases in value over time. In other ways, you can use it as a store of value.
No chargebacks – there is no chargebacks meaning any executed transaction can’t be reversed. Just as we file chargebacks on credit cards, it won’t be possible with the use of Encrypcurrency. This helps to depletes fraudulent activities.
Almost centralized – every cryptocurrency expert is aware that the key is being decentralized, but fail to understand the cons of being decentralized. Encrypcurrency can serve as both a decentralized & centralized. Encrypcurrency is decentralized in the sense that it is managed by its network which operates on operates on a user-to-user (or peer-to-peer) basis. However, it’s centralized that the Encrypcurrency network has its own Feistel Core Network (FCN) which acts like a Central Bank to double check on transactions.
AML KYC Policy – It is a requirement of Skipjack Encrypcurrency that you reveal your identity as KYC AML policy and it will make skipjack the world most secure and acceptable by any government and banks. In fact one of the prime goals of Skipjack is to avoid money laundering, terrorist to anyone, but still allow you to conduct a transaction. It is very like cash in that sense. However, it is possible for someone with significant dedicated resources (governments, police agencies etc.) to track your transactions by examining in our public block chiper.
The above highlights are the major benefits of Encrypcurrency to the society. There are many other minor benefits but I believe I already cover the major ones. In no time, every local financial sector will adapt to this and boom!!! | 2019-04-25T00:08:46Z | https://www.skipjackhub.com/benefits-of-encrypcurrency/ |
Ellie always talks to me whenever we cross paths in the house and when we’re on walks, but lately I’ve noticed something is different. The house is more quiet. I’m not noticing any loud hellos or good-byes when she goes in or out. And it seems the doorbell never rings. Sometimes when I’m looking at her, it appears that her mouth is moving, but nothing is coming out.
It’s nice to be able to take a long nap and not be disturbed by all her noise. Sometimes she scares me when she sneaks up right next to me so quietly. She’ll touch my ear and then I spring up, ready to run. I like to nap in the places where she walks most, so I can keep an eye on her and not miss anything. She has stepped on me a couple of times before I was fully awake and able to move.
My nice calm human still sometimes bangs pots and pans in the kitchen sink, making an awful noise that prompts me to excuse myself through my door to visit the yard. But the world is becoming more peaceful, not so interrupted by other dogs barking, trucks collecting trash, and screaming TV’s. Yawn….I think it’s time for a nap.

Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) reported record annual profit attributable to shareholders of $2.7 billion, or $4.52 per share, up 47% from $1.8 billion in 2010. Fourth quarter profit attributable to shareholders was $637 million, or $1.08 per share, almost double the $325 million, or $0.55 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.
"2011 was another strong year for Teck. Higher average commodity prices combined with strong operating results contributed to new records for each of revenue, gross profit, profit and cash flow from operations. This allowed us to increase our annualized dividend rate to $0.80 per share. We ended the year with $4.4 billion in cash, which puts us in a strong position to advance our various expansion projects," said Don Lindsay, President and CEO.
Record annual revenues of $11.5 billion (up 25% from 2010).
Record gross profit, before depreciation and amortization, of $5.8 billion (up 30% from 2010).
Record annual profit attributable to shareholders of $2.7 billion (up 47% from 2010).
Record cash flow from operations, before working capital changes, of $4.6 billion (up 37% from 2010).
Record annual copper production of 321,000 tonnes (up from 313,000 tonnes in 2010).
Record material moved at our coal operations resulted in coal production of 6.7 million tonnes in the fourth quarter.
We achieved the lowest total reportable injury frequency in our history in 2011, representing an 18% reduction from the previous year and the fewest number of serious incidents on record.
In October, we announced a 33% increase in the semi-annual dividend on our Class A common and Class B subordinate voting shares to $0.40 per share.
During the fourth quarter we purchased for cancellation approximately 4.8 million Class B subordinate voting shares for $171 million pursuant to our normal course issuer bid announced in June, 2011.
To date we have reached agreement with our coal customers to sell 5.3 million tonnes of coal in the first quarter of 2012 at an average price of US$230 per tonne. We expect to conclude additional sales over the course of the quarter.
The Wintering Hills wind power project, in which we have a 30% interest, became fully operational in November, 2011.
In November 2011, the regulatory application for the Frontier oil sands project was submitted to the regulatory authorities, which is a significant milestone in advancing the project towards commercial production. The federal government subsequently referred the application to an independent review panel, allowing provincial and federal regulatory reviews of Frontier to be conducted in parallel. This has the potential to reduce the regulatory timeline while maintaining a thorough and rigorous review.
In January 2012, we announced an agreement to acquire SilverBirch Energy Corporation ("SilverBirch") for a net cash outlay of $435 million, which will give us full ownership of the Frontier project, including the Equinox property. The acquisition is subject to SilverBirch shareholder and various regulatory approvals and is expected to occur on or before April 16, 2012. This will increase our total contingent resource by 67% to 3.5 billion barrels of bitumen.
This news release is dated as at February 9, 2012. Unless the context otherwise dictates, a reference to "Teck," "the company," "us," "we," or "our" refers to Teck and its subsidiaries. Additional information, including our annual information form and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2010, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Our continued focus on expanding coal and copper production is having a positive impact on our business and financial results. In coal, investments in new mining equipment, plant upgrades and people have resulted in substantial increases in material moved, which will permit increased coal production. Our investments at Carmen de Andacollo and Antamina have and will continue to generate increased copper production from those two operations and we continue to advance our other late stage copper development projects, particularly Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 and Relincho. We also seek to strengthen our energy business unit with the announcement of our proposed acquisition of SilverBirch Energy Corporation.
We enjoyed strong markets during the year, with record average prices for both coal and copper, though prices declined significantly as the year drew to a close. While there was a significant rebound in copper prices subsequent to year end, coal prices have not rebounded and coal markets remain weaker than those we experienced in the first half of 2011. Unit operating costs have also increased as a result of higher input costs, lower grades and higher stripping ratios at many of our mines.
The liability management transactions we undertook in 2010 have resulted in a significant decrease in our finance expense, despite a successful bond issue in mid-2011, which increased our debt levels. The proceeds of the bond issue, together with strong cash flow from our operations, allowed us to build our cash balance to $4.4 billion. This was after record investment in plant and equipment, increased dividends and share buy backs. Our anticipated cash flow, strong liquidity and cash position, together with access to capital markets, should provide the financial capacity necessary to fund our attractive portfolio of growth projects.
Adjusted profit, which excludes the effect of certain transactions described in the table below, was $613 million, or $1.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with $512 million, or $0.87 per share in the same period a year ago. The higher adjusted profit was primarily due to significantly higher coal prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes of zinc and coal.
Other items affecting profit attributable to shareholders in the fourth quarter were a gain related to an increase in the fair value of our option to call certain of our high yield notes prior to their maturity, which resulted from declining market interest rates in the quarter. In addition, we incurred a one-time charge in connection with a labour settlement at our Highland Valley Copper mine. Pricing adjustments were minimal in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with $38 million of after-tax positive pricing adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2010. Profit attributable to shareholders was $637 million, or $1.08 per share, in the fourth quarter compared with $325 million or $0.55 per share in the same period last year.
* Our financial results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), which is now GAAP in Canada. This news release refers to adjusted profit, EBITDA and gross profit before depreciation and amortization, which are not measures recognized under IFRS in Canada and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS or GAAP in the United States. For adjusted profit we adjust profit as reported to remove the effect of certain kinds of transactions in these measures. EBITDA is profit before net finance expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Gross profit before depreciation and amortization is gross profit with depreciation and amortization added back. These measures may differ from those used by, and may not be comparable to such measures as reported by, other issuers. We disclose these measures, which have been derived from our financial statements and applied on a consistent basis, because we believe they are of assistance in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and are meant to provide further information about our financial results to investors.
Our business unit results are presented in the tables below.
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization from our copper business unit decreased by $102 million in the fourth quarter compared with a year ago, as a result of lower copper prices and a one-time pre-tax $44 million labour settlement charge at our Highland Valley Copper mine. These items were partly offset by a 12% increase in sales volumes due to higher production levels and timing of shipments last year. Copper production in the fourth quarter rose by 5% to 89,000 tonnes compared with a year ago, primarily as a result of improved production at Highland Valley Copper, Carmen de Andacollo and Antamina. Copper prices averaged US$3.40 per pound in the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of 13% from US$3.92 per pound in the same period a year ago.
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization from our coal business unit increased by $209 million in the fourth quarter compared with a year ago, primarily due to significantly higher coal prices. Lower sales volumes and higher unit operating costs partially offset the higher coal prices. Coal production was on target in the fourth quarter, increasing by 11% over last year to 6.7 million tonnes. This was the result of our significant investment in mobile equipment and workforce to implement our planned expansion. Unit cost of product sold in the fourth quarter, before transportation and depreciation charges, of $65 per tonne improved from previous quarters this year but increased by 20%, or $11 per tonne, over the same quarter of 2010 due primarily to increased contractor costs, higher strip ratios and significantly higher prices for diesel and explosives. Coal sales of 5.5 million tonnes in the fourth quarter were below production levels and 7% lower than the same period last year. The decrease in fourth quarter sales volume compared with the same quarter in 2010 reflects the weaker market conditions. Global economic conditions and softer steel prices have caused many steel producers to slow their production and be cautious in purchasing raw materials. While we continue to develop our production capacity, our plans allow for flexibility to adapt to changes in demand. We realized an average coal price of US$253 per tonne in the fourth quarter, which was lower than the record high prices achieved earlier in 2011, but still up 27% over the same period a year ago.
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization from our zinc business unit decreased by $25 million in the fourth quarter compared with a year ago partly due to lower zinc and lead prices and lower sales volumes from Red Dog. Zinc and lead sales volumes from Red Dog declined by 11% and 20%, respectively, as customers had accelerated deliveries of zinc and lead in the fourth quarter of 2010. Lead sales were also lower due to reduced annual lead production levels as a result of lower ore grades from the Aqqaluk pit. Refined zinc and lead production from Trail increased by 6% and 71%, respectively, compared with a year ago as a result of improved performance in all areas of the plant, increased throughput, and the impact of maintenance shutdowns in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Revenues from operations were $3.0 billion in the fourth quarter compared with $2.7 billion a year ago. Revenues from our copper business unit were similar to the same period a year ago as higher sales volumes were offset by lower copper prices. Coal revenues increased by $219 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 due to significantly higher realized coal prices, partially offset by a 7% decline in sales volumes. Revenues from our zinc business unit rose slightly from a year ago as higher sales volumes from Trail were offset by lower volumes from Red Dog and lower zinc and lead prices.
* Except for coal prices, the average commodity prices disclosed above are based on published benchmark prices and are provided for information only. Our actual revenues are determined using commodity prices and other terms and conditions specified in our various sales contracts with our customers. The molybdenum price is the price published in Platts Metals Week.
The table below shows our production and sales of our major commodities.
Includes pre-commercial production and sales volumes from Carmen de Andacollo prior to September 30, 2010. Production of copper contained in concentrate during the pre-commercial start-up period in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 20,700 tonnes. Sales of copper contained in concentrate during the pre-commercial start-up in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 16,000 tonnes.
Our coal business unit represents our interest in six operating mines. We wholly own the Fording River, Coal Mountain, Line Creek and Cardinal River mines, and have a 95% partnership interest in the Elkview mine and an 80% joint venture interest in the Greenhills mine.
Cost of sales in the fourth quarter includes a $44 million one-time labour settlement charge.
Results do not include a provision for the 2.5% non-controlling interest in Highland Valley Copper.
The decline in Highland Valley Copper's fourth quarter gross profit before depreciation and amortization was due mainly to a one-time labour settlement cost of $44 million for the new 5-year labour agreement ratified in the quarter.
Copper production of 27,300 tonnes was 14% higher than the same period last year primarily as a result of additional mill throughput and both improved feed grades and recoveries. Higher grade production from the east wall of the Valley pit has started to become available below the recently completed buttress project and will be a significant feed source for the mill in 2012. Molybdenum production of 2.8 million pounds increased by 40% over the corresponding period last year primarily due to higher feed grades. Copper sales of 30,400 tonnes were 32% higher than the same period last year as a result of the higher production and timing of shipments.
Operating costs charged to cost of sales were $171 million, double the comparable period last year. This was due to the effect of significantly higher sales volumes and the one-time labour settlement costs. In addition, a greater proportion of costs were capitalized as part of the mine life expansion program in 2010.
Construction of the $475 million mill modernization project that was announced last September has commenced. Detailed engineering is 12% complete and excavation work has begun. The project is expected to increase throughput by 10% and improve metal recoveries over the life of the mine, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2013. Permit amendments were received for both the Lornex extension project, which commenced overburden stripping in the quarter, and for upgrades to the tailings system. A new life of mine plan was also developed that will see the operation extend to 2026 at the expanded throughput rate. A $58 million tailings upgrade project was approved, which involves construction of new tailings disposal lines and a new cyclone plant. The expansion is not based on a technical report filed under National Instrument 43-101. Highland Valley Copper's annual copper production is estimated to range between 100,000 to 150,000 tonnes of contained copper, depending on ore grades and hardness, for an average of 125,000 tonnes per year after completion of the modernization project.
Highland Valley Copper production in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 105,000 to 110,000 tonnes of copper. Molybdenum production in 2012 is expected to be similar to 2011.
In addition to royalties paid by Antamina, we also pay a royalty in connection with the acquisition of our interest in Antamina equivalent to 7.4% of our share of cash flow distributed by the mine.
The increase in our 22.5% share of Antamina's gross profit before depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter was due to significantly higher copper sales volumes, which increased by 46%, partially offset by a 49% decrease in zinc sales volumes, and lower copper and zinc prices.
Tonnes milled in the fourth quarter were 3% higher than a year ago. The mix of mill feed in the fourth quarter was 67% copper-only ore, 22% copper-zinc ore and 11% bornite ore, compared with 60%, 31% and 9%, respectively, in the same period a year ago. Copper production, on a 100% basis, was 95,000 tonnes compared with 83,700 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of the higher proportion of copper-only ores processed in the quarter as well as higher copper grades and recoveries. As anticipated, zinc production decreased significantly to 47,600 tonnes from 77,400 tonnes in the same period a year ago due to a 28% decrease in copper-zinc ore processed in the quarter as well as lower zinc grades and recoveries. Molybdenum production was significantly higher in the fourth quarter compared with a year ago as a result of higher throughput of copper-only ores with higher molybdenum grades.
In early February 2012, as part of a major expansion project to increase ore throughput capacity to 130,000 tonnes per day, Antamina successfully commissioned ball mill number four, which is operating at 100% capacity. SAG mill number two remains in the commissioning phase, which commenced in December, 2011. The SAG mill is expected to receive ore feed in early February. In the flotation areas of the project, good progress is being made towards anticipated final commissioning of the copper and zinc flotation in March and the molybdenum circuit in June.
Antamina has almost doubled its fleet in the mine with the addition of 30 haul trucks, two large shovels and other support equipment. In addition, the Antamina power system expansion was completed with the commissioning of a 55 kilometre power line and 200kv substation. Management continues to forecast a ramp-up to full productive capacity by the end of the first quarter of 2012. A final estimation of capital spending for the expansion will be determined at that time. The expansion is not based on a technical report filed under National Instrument 43-101.
Our 22.5% share of Antamina's copper production in 2012 is expected to increase approximately 30% and be in the range of 95,000 to 100,000 tonnes as a greater proportion of copper-only ore is planned to be mined, which is expected to increase by approximately 50% in 2012. Our 22.5% share of zinc production is expected to be in the range of 40,000 to 45,000 tonnes.
TCu% is the percent assayed total copper grade.
Results do not include a provision for the 23.5% non-controlling interest in Quebrada Blanca.
The decline in Quebrada Blanca's gross profit before depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter was due to lower copper prices and reduced sales volumes as a result of a decline in production levels, as described below.
Quebrada Blanca is now transitioning from a high grade heap leach operation to a lower grade dump leach operation and processing a greater proportion of dump leach ore in the quarter compared with a year ago. As a result, copper production was 18% lower than the fourth quarter of 2010.
On February 7, 2012, we announced that a new 46-month labour agreement was ratified by the workers' union. The new agreement replaces the agreement that expired in January and covers the period from February, 2012 to November, 2015. One-time settlement costs related to the new labour agreement were US$6 million, and will be recorded in the first quarter of 2012.
Quebrada Blanca's production in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 65,000 to 70,000 tonnes of copper cathode.
Includes pre-commercial production and sales volumes from Carmen de Andacollo prior to September 30, 2010. Production of copper contained in concentrate during the pre-commercial start-up period was 20,700 tonnes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Sales of copper contained in concentrate during the pre-commercial start-up were 16,600 tonnes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Results do not include a provision for the 10% non-controlling interest in Andacollo.
The decrease in Carmen de Andacollo's gross profit before depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter was primarily due to lower copper prices compared with the same period a year ago, partly offset by increased sales volumes.
During the fourth quarter, concentrator throughput was 40,900 tonnes per day. Copper production in the fourth quarter rose 23% to 17,300 tonnes compared with a year ago as a result of higher ore grades and improved recoveries. The mill is now operating at higher rates compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 when commercial production commenced.
Work continues on a study to examine adding more plant capacity to increase annual copper production to a range of 100,000 to 120,000 tonnes. The study includes drilling to confirm additional ore reserves and addresses the key issues of availability of process water and permitting requirements. The study is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2012. The planned plant throughput and production improvements noted above are not based on a technical report filed under National Instrument 43-101.
The labour agreement with the workers' union that expired in December, 2011 was replaced by a new 45-month labour agreement, ratified by the workers' union, which commenced January, 2012 and will end September, 2015. One-time settlement costs related to the new labour agreement were US$10 million, which will be recorded in the first quarter of 2012.
Carmen de Andacollo's production in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 70,000 to 75,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate and 5,000 tonnes of copper cathode.
Duck Pond's gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $10 million in the fourth quarter compared with $24 million in the same period last year. Copper and zinc production in the fourth quarter were 3,300 tonnes and 5,000 tonnes, respectively, compared with 3,700 tonnes and 5,800 tonnes, respectively, last year. The lower production was a result of lower grades and throughput. Copper and zinc sales in the fourth quarter were 3,800 tonnes and 7,700 tonnes, respectively, compared with 4,000 tonnes and 4,900 tonnes, respectively, last year. The lower gross profit was primarily due to lower realized metal prices compared to the same quarter a year ago, despite significantly higher zinc sales in the current quarter.
Copper and zinc production for 2011 were 13,200 tonnes and 21,300 tonnes, respectively. This compares with copper production of 15,000 tonnes and 20,200 tonnes of zinc production in 2010.
Duck Pond's production in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes of copper and between 15,000 to 20,000 tonnes of zinc.
Work continues on finalizing the feasibility study for the Quebrada Blanca hypogene project by the end of the first quarter of 2012. As indicated previously, production could average approximately 200,000 tonnes of copper and 5,000 tonnes of molybdenum per year in concentrates over a 30 year mine life. There is potential for higher production rates during the first ten years of operation, with production commencing as early as 2016. Infill and exploration drilling continue to produce encouraging results and a new resource and reserve estimate will be completed following the feasibility study. The project will face the same industry-wide cost pressures as seen on other large scale projects contemplated for development.
As part of the ongoing project work plan for 2012, the Social Environmental Impact Assessment ("SEIA") is expected to be submitted to the Chilean authorities during the second quarter. There are issues yet to be resolved during 2012, such as securing long-term power supply for the project and settling project financing arrangements with other shareholders. During 2012, partial funding of the project is expected to allow engineering to continue and the procurement of long lead equipment to begin so that the schedule for a 2016 start-up can be maintained.
Subsequent to completion of the pre-feasibility study for the development of a 140,000 tonnes per day concentrator project, a feasibility study for Relincho was commenced in the third quarter of 2011. As per the prefeasibility design, production would average 180,000 tonnes per year of copper and 6,000 tonnes per year of molybdenum over the 22 year mine life, with higher production in the first five years. The feasibility study is expected to be complete by the first quarter of 2013. Exploration and geotechnical drilling are ongoing and a new resource and reserve estimate is expected at the completion of the feasibility study.
Subsequent to the completion of the prefeasibility study in July, 2011 for the Galore Creek project, work on an advanced engineering program to consider additional development options was completed in the fourth quarter. As a result of this work, the partners have approved a $25 million work program for 2012 which will focus primarily on field work such as infill and geotechnical drilling to support these development options. Some additional engineering and environmental studies will also continue.
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter was up 31% over last year due primarily to higher US dollar selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes and higher unit cost of product sold.
Production for the fourth quarter increased by 11% compared with the same quarter of 2010. Movement of overburden that must be removed to expose raw coal in the fourth quarter was up 14% over last year. Our investments in mobile equipment and workforce, made to advance our expansion plans, have significantly increased our capacity to move overburden and expose raw coal. During 2011, we increased our haul truck fleet by 23 units and our shovel fleet by 2 units. In addition, we replaced 21 existing haul trucks and 3 existing shovels. This new large capacity equipment increases the overall productivity and efficiency of our mobile equipment fleets. We have also increased our workforce by approximately 500 people. We completed the expansion of the processing plant at our Greenhills mine during 2011 and the plant expansion at Elkview is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.
Our production capacity has increased, giving us the ability to produce 24.5 to 25.5 million tonnes of clean coal in 2012. Actual production will depend on customer demand.
The decrease in fourth quarter sales volume compared with the same quarter in 2010 reflects the weaker market conditions. Global economic conditions and falling steel prices have caused many steel producers to slow their production and be cautious in purchasing raw materials.
The average coal price of US$253 per tonne in the fourth quarter was down from the record high prices achieved earlier in 2011, but still up 27% over last year. Market conditions turned downward in the third quarter and continued to weaken through the fourth quarter as uncertainty over the global economic conditions grew. By historical standards, however, prices for high quality steelmaking coal remain relatively high. We have agreed on prices with our quarterly contract customers for the first quarter of 2012. Pricing of approximately US$235 per tonne for our highest quality product is consistent with prices reportedly achieved by our competitors. As of the date of this release, we have sold approximately 5.3 million tonnes of coal for delivery in the first quarter at an average price of US$230 per tonne. We may choose to sell additional tonnage on the spot market, which would increase sales volumes, but such gains could be offset by delays in customer vessels. Vessel nominations for quarterly contract tonnage are determined by our customers and deliveries depend on vessels arriving at port as scheduled. The spread between the quarterly benchmark price and spot prices tends to widen in a weaker market. Additional spot sales or further delays to quarterly contract vessels could cause average pricing to decline.
Unit cost of product sold in the fourth quarter before transportation and depreciation charges of $65 per tonne improved from previous quarters in 2011, but increased by 20%, or $11 per tonne, over the same quarter of 2010. This was due to increased contractor costs, higher strip ratios and significantly higher prices for diesel and explosives. We continue to experience cost pressures arising from general inflation in most of our input cost categories. Excluding the impact of the $40 million union labour settlement costs recorded in the second quarter, our unit cost of product sold continued to fall in each successive quarter of 2011, from $76 per tonne in the first quarter, to $73 per tonne in the second quarter, to $70 per tonne in the third quarter, to $65 in the fourth quarter. We will continue to realize unit cost benefits of higher coal volumes in 2012, although this benefit is expected to be offset by inflationary pressures on most of our input costs. We currently expect our 2012 annual cost of product sold to fall within a range of $72 to $78 per tonne, for our current production plans.
Unit transportation costs were $33 per tonne compared with $35 per tonne in the same quarter in 2010 due primarily to lower port loading charges under one of our agreements. We currently expect our 2012 annual unit transportation costs to fall within the range of $34 to $38 per tonne.
As a result of the drilling program at our coal mines, we have expanded our high quality reserves by 62% from 665 million tonnes at the end of 2010 to approximately 1.1 billion tonnes, resulting in a $4 per tonne reduction in our per unit depreciation charge.
The feasibility study for the re-opening of our Quintette mine in northeast British Columbia is progressing. Additional work is ongoing to ensure water management plans are complete for inclusion in the permit application and to update the mine plan based on additional drilling. This information will be included in the study, which is now due for completion in the second quarter of 2012. Long-lead equipment items, including trucks, shovels and drills, have been ordered, preliminary on-site work has commenced and stakeholder consultation processes are ongoing. Assuming that permits are approved on a timely basis and that development proceeds as currently planned, the mine could be in production in the second half of 2013 with production ramping up to approximately three million tonnes per year.
Work is ongoing to develop and implement selenium management plans for each of our six operating coal mines and for the Quintette project. It is also possible that permitting for current and future projects may be delayed or withheld until appropriate selenium management plans are developed and implemented. We have begun to implement a number of measures, including a water treatment plant, entailing expenditures of $72 million over the next 3 years, however, our plans are not yet complete and additional costs may be incurred, which may be significant.
Gross profit at Trail before depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter increased slightly over the same period a year ago due primarily to higher silver production and silver prices. Increased production and sales volumes for zinc and lead in the fourth quarter were offset by lower prices. Production of zinc and lead increased due to improved performance of all plants and increased throughput during 2011 compared with 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2010, production and sales volumes were affected by a planned maintenance shutdown of the Kivcet lead smelter and one of the two zinc roasters.
Concentrate purchase costs were higher in the fourth quarter, which reflected higher silver prices and increased throughput compared with the same period a year ago. In the fourth quarter, operating costs increased as expenses for energy and supplies increased consistent with higher production, although the impact was offset by lower non-routine maintenance expenses, which were higher in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to the planned shutdown.
Trail's production in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 280,000 to 290,000 tonnes of refined zinc, 85,000 tonnes of refined lead and 21 million ounces of silver.
Red Dog's gross profit before depreciation and amortization decreased by $54 million in the fourth quarter compared with the same period last year primarily due to lower metal prices and reduced sales volumes. Zinc sales volumes in the fourth quarter decreased by 11% compared with the same period a year ago as customers had accelerated deliveries of zinc and lead in the fourth quarter of 2010. Lead sales volumes decreased by 20%, partly reflecting reduced 2011 annual production levels and acceleration of sales in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Zinc production of 135,300 tonnes rose 4% compared with the same period a year ago primarily as a result of higher throughput. Lead production increased to 22,100 tonnes compared with 17,300 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2010 as grades and recoveries were affected when mining initial ore from Aqqaluk in the fourth quarter of 2010.
For the year, a new record was achieved for mill throughput at 3.67 million tonnes, 3% higher than the previous year. The higher mill throughput and zinc grades were partially offset by lower recoveries resulting in an additional 34,000 tonnes of zinc production in 2011, a 6% increase over 2010. Lead production for 2011 declined by 26,000 tonnes, as the higher throughput was offset by the lower grade and recovery of the near surface Aqqaluk ore.
A major capital project was successfully commissioned in December with the installation of the two IsaMills in the zinc re-grind circuit. During 2012, circuit performance will be optimized to take advantage of a finer grind to allow for improved recovery of the Aqqaluk ore in comparison to processing the same ore through the older tower mills.
Zinc available for sale from January 1, 2012 to the beginning of next year's shipping season totals 205,000 tonnes. Zinc sales volumes in the first quarter of 2012 are estimated to be approximately 95,000 tonnes. All offsite lead inventories had been sold as of the end of the year.
Red Dog's production of contained metal in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 525,000 to 545,000 tonnes of zinc and 70,000 tonnes of lead. In accordance with the agreements governing our development of the mine, the net profits royalty that we pay to NANA Development Inc. increases to 30% in the fourth quarter of 2012 from the current 25%.
Engineering studies are ongoing to update the design basis for the project and improve the accuracy of the cost estimates in anticipation of a project sanction decision by the partners in 2013. Should the partners sanction Fort Hills (Phase 1), production is anticipated to start in mid-2016, ramping up to approximately 160,000 barrels per day of bitumen production.
Our share of the 2011 Fort Hills spending was $54 million. Suncor, operator of Fort Hills, has provided a 2012 preliminary project spending estimate of approximately $800 million, which includes; engineering, site preparation activities, procurement of some long lead items and early works. Our share of the 2012 forecast spending would be $220 million, including our ongoing earn-in commitments.
The Frontier Project has been designed for up to four production lines with a total capacity of approximately 277,000 barrels per day of bitumen, the first two production lines are planned to have a production capacity of 159,000 barrels per day. The Frontier Project includes an option of developing Equinox as a satellite operation.
The Frontier Project regulatory application was submitted to regulators in the fourth quarter of 2011. Review and approval of the application is anticipated to take up to three years. On January 19, 2012 the Federal Environment Minister announced the referral of the Frontier regulatory application to an independent review panel. The Frontier Project requires various provincial and federal regulatory reviews. Conducting these reviews in parallel can streamline and improve the regulatory process, while maintaining a thorough and rigorous review.
In January 2012, we announced an agreement to acquire SilverBirch that will give us full ownership of the Frontier project, including Equinox. Closing of the transaction is subject to SilverBirch shareholder approval and regulatory approval. This agreement creates a simplified ownership structure for Frontier, provides an opportunity to explore new partnerships and other alternatives to move the project towards development, and reduces our exposure to oil sands leases not amenable to mining. If approved, it will increase our total contingent resources by 67% to a total of 3.5 billion barrels of bitumen. This transaction is expected to close in April 2012 and to result in a net cash outlay of $435 million.
No field exploration activities are planned in 2012 and the key focus will be on supporting the regulatory application review, consultations with stakeholders and ongoing engineering studies.
A seismic program was successfully completed on the Lease 421 Area during the first quarter of 2011. Data acquired during the field seismic program should assist in planning future coreholes.
To date, a total of 59 coreholes have been completed in the Lease 421 Area. The results indicate 49 of the coreholes contain prospective oil sands that range in thickness from 10 to 40 metres (averaging 19 metres) with oil sand grades ranging from 9% to 18% by weight with 10-12% fines and overburden thicknesses ranging from 17 to 68 metres (averaging 39 metres). These results indicate the potential for a mineable resource, however, further corehole drilling is required to establish the quantity and quality of any potential resource and environmental baseline data collection is required to assess any future project potential.
The Wintering Hills wind power project became fully operational in November, 2011 with the installation and commissioning of 55 1.6 MW wind turbines. Our share of expected power generation in 2012 is 80 GWhs, which will result in 50,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent offsets. The total investment in connection with the project is approximately $64 million.
Financing expenses were $169 million in the fourth quarter compared with $153 million a year ago. The debt interest component of our financing expense increased only slightly from $122 million to $129 million in the quarter, despite the higher debt levels that resulted from the US$2 billion bond issue earlier this year. The effect of the higher debt was largely offset by the ongoing effect of the liability management transactions in 2010 in which we replaced high yield debt with lower cost debt with staged maturation. Financing expense under IFRS includes interest expense on debt and additional interest components relating to pension and decommissioning and restoration provisions.
Other operating income and expense includes items we consider to be related to the operation of our business, such as pricing adjustments from settlement receivables, which are further described below, share-based compensation, gains or losses on commodity derivatives, gains or losses on sale of operating or exploration assets, and provisions for our closed properties. Other operating expense, net of other income, was $117 million in the fourth quarter compared with $16 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Share-based compensation expense was $27 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with $71 million in the same period a year ago. Large recoveries and expenses result primarily from increases or decreases in our share price. Pricing adjustments in the fourth quarter were minimal compared with positive pricing adjustments of $93 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, when there was a sharp rise in copper prices. We incurred asset write-downs of $30 million in the fourth quarter, resulting from provisions on obsolete plant and equipment and exploration properties. Provisions for our closed properties totalled $33 million in the fourth quarter compared with $19 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Pricing adjustments from the sale and purchase of our various products are now included in other operating income (expense). These pricing adjustments were previously included in our revenue or operating costs as applicable. Sales of metals in concentrate or copper cathodes are recognized in revenue on a provisional pricing basis when title transfers and the rights and obligations of ownership pass to the customer, which usually occurs upon shipment. However, final pricing is typically not determined until a subsequent date, often in the following quarter. Revenue in a quarter is based on prices at the date of sale. These pricing adjustments result in gains in a rising price environment and losses in a declining price environment and these are recorded as other operating income (expense). The extent of the pricing adjustments also takes into account the actual price participation terms as provided in certain concentrate sales agreements. It should be noted that while these effects arise on the sale of concentrates, we also purchase concentrates at our Trail refinery where the opposite effects occur.
The table below outlines our outstanding receivable and payable positions, which were provisionally valued at September, 2011 and our receivable and payable positions provisionally valued at, December 31, 2011.
Non-operating income (expense) includes items that arise from financial and other matters and includes such items as foreign exchange, debt refinancing, realized gains or losses on marketable securities and gains and losses on the revaluation of call options on certain of our high yield notes. In the fourth quarter of 2011, other non-operating income was $81 million, consisting of gains on the revaluation of our call options and foreign exchange gains. This compares with $224 million of other expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010, which included debt repurchase and financing costs of $341 million partly offset by gains on the revaluation of our call options.
Income and resource taxes for the quarter were $311 million, or 32% of pre-tax earnings, which is higher than the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 27%. This was mainly due to the effect of resource taxes in Canada and higher tax rates in foreign jurisdictions.
Income tax pools arising out of the Fording transaction in 2008 currently shield us from cash income taxes, but not resource taxes, in Canada. Canadian Development Expenditure tax pools and tax loss carry forwards primarily generated by those pools are $8.4 billion. We remain subject to cash taxes in foreign jurisdictions and resource taxes in Canada.
Cash flow from operations, before changes in non-cash working capital items, was $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter compared with $1.0 billion a year ago.
Changes in non-cash working capital items resulted in a use of cash of $49 million in the fourth quarter compared with a $124 million source of cash in the same period a year ago. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we sold a portion of our coal receivables, which reduced our working capital requirements by approximately $150 million.
Expenditures on property, plant and equipment were $374 million in the fourth quarter and included $177 million on sustaining capital and $197 million on major development projects. The largest components of sustaining expenditures were at our coal operations which totalled $57 million. Major development expenditures included $15 million for preparatory stripping for Highland Valley Copper's mine life extension project, $38 million for Antamina's expansion, $10 million at the Quebrada Blanca hypogene project and $92 million at our coal operations. The expenditures at our coal operations are largely to enable us to incrementally expand production at existing operations.
We also made investments totaling $324 million primarily in a number of publicly traded companies in the fourth quarter.
We have committed bank credit facilities aggregating $1.2 billion, the majority of which mature in 2015. The current unused availability under these facilities, after drawn letters of credit, amounts to $1.1 billion.
We continue to experience volatile markets for our products. Commodity markets have historically been volatile and prices can change rapidly and customers can alter shipment plans. This can have a substantial impact on our business. The uncertainty over the ongoing economic conditions in Europe continues to have an effect on the global economy, and this may affect both prices and shipments to our customers.
Commodity prices are a key driver of our earnings. On the supply side, the depleting nature of ore reserves, difficulties in finding new ore bodies, the permitting processes, the availability of skilled resources to develop projects, as well as infrastructure constraints, political risk and significant cost inflation may continue to have a moderating impact on the growth in future production. Although we are concerned about current global economic conditions, particularly in Europe, we believe that, over the longer term, the industrialization of emerging market economies will continue to be a major positive factor in the future demand for commodities. Therefore, we believe that the long-term price environment for the products that we produce and sell remains favourable.
The effect on our profit attributable to shareholders of commodity price and exchange rate movements will vary from quarter to quarter depending on sales volumes.
Zinc includes 285,000 tonnes of refined zinc and 595,000 tonnes of zinc contained in concentrates.
Foreign exchange translation gains and losses on our US dollar denominated debt arising from exchange rate fluctuations are not expected to have a significant effect on our 2012 earnings, as our debt level is expected to be designated as a hedge against our investments in US dollar denominated foreign operations and working capital items.
Copper and zinc prices are currently trading similar to 2011 average prices. Coal market conditions softened in the third quarter and remained so through the fourth quarter. By historical standards, however, prices for high quality steelmaking coal remain relatively high. The fluctuations in the Canadian/US dollar exchange rate can have a significant effect on our profit and financial position. The Canadian dollar, to date in 2012, has averaged approximately $1.01 against the US dollar compared with $0.99 in 2011.
Our copper production for 2012 is expected to be in the range of 350,000 to 375,000 tonnes as a result of improved production at our operations. This compares with 322,000 tonnes produced in 2011.
Our coal production in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 24.5 to 25.5 million tonnes. Our actual production will depend upon improvements in customer demand for deliveries of steelmaking coal. Should deliveries not improve, we may adjust our production plans, depending on market conditions and the sales outlook. We have the flexibility to devote additional resources to pre-stripping in these circumstances.
Our zinc in concentrate production in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 580,000 to 610,000 tonnes compared with 646,000 tonnes in 2011. Red Dog's production is expected to decrease by approximately 35,000 tonnes and our share of zinc production from Antamina will decrease by approximately 10,000 tonnes due to ore body sequencing. Refined zinc production from our Trail metallurgical complex in 2012 is expected to be in the range of 280,000 to 290,000 tonnes.
Assumes successful closing of SilverBirch acquisition in April, 2012.
Spending on development projects is expected to include $340 million for Quintette, $325 million for Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 and $300 million for Highland Valley Copper's mill expansion and extension stripping. The amount and timing of actual capital expenditures is dependent upon being able to secure necessary permits, equipment, supplies, materials and labour on a timely basis and at expected costs to enable the projects to be completed as currently anticipated. Some of these expenditures have not yet received all necessary internal and minority interest approvals.
We also expect to invest approximately $220 million as our share of costs for the Fort Hills oil sands project, which is accounted for as an investment in associates.
The sales of our products are denominated in US dollars, while a significant portion of our expenses are incurred in local currencies, particularly the Canadian dollar. Foreign exchange fluctuations can have a significant effect on our operating margins, unless such fluctuations are offset by related changes to commodity prices.
Our US dollar denominated debt is subject to revaluation based on changes in the Canadian/US dollar exchange rate. As at December 31, 2011, all of our US dollar denominated debt is designated as a hedge against our US dollar denominated foreign operations and working capital items. As a result, any foreign exchange gains or losses arising on our designated US dollar debt are recorded in other comprehensive income.
The Peruvian Government enacted a new mining tax regime effective October 1, 2011, which includes a Special Mining Tax, a Modified Mining Royalty and a Special Mining Burden. Our Peruvian affiliate, Compañia Minera Antamina S.A. ("CMA"), is operating under a tax stability agreement and is exempt from the Special Mining Tax and the Modified Mining Royalty until 2016. In the interim, CMA will be subject to the Special Mining Burden which applies to its operating margin based on a progressive sliding scale ranging from 4% to 13.12%, which is deductible in computing its Peruvian income taxes.
In October, the Canadian parliament substantively enacted legislation to remove the ability of corporations to defer income for tax purposes through partnership structures. The regulations allow for a phase out period over five years. The date at which this change will affect our taxes payable is dependent upon income levels in Canada.
We hold a number of financial instruments and derivatives, the most significant of which are marketable securities, foreign exchange forward sales contracts, fixed price forward metal sales contracts, prepayment rights on senior debt notes and settlements receivable and payable. The financial instruments and derivatives are all recorded at fair values on our balance sheet with gains and losses in each period included in other comprehensive income and profit for the period as appropriate. Some of our gains and losses on metal-related financial instruments are affected by smelter price participation and are taken into account in determining royalties and other expenses. All are subject to varying rates of taxation depending on their nature and jurisdiction.
Attributable to shareholders of the company.
As at February 8, 2012 there were 576,597,478 Class B subordinate voting shares and 9,353,470 Class A common shares outstanding. In addition, there were 5,743,520 director and employee stock options outstanding with exercise prices ranging between $4.15 and $58.80 per share. More information on these instruments and the terms of their conversion is set out in Note 14 of our 2010 year end financial statements.

"... Still occupied... but... the URG is now UPDATED!!!!!!! YEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!.... Why Am I celebrating? I still have work to do!"
Okay, I've read some of your command and bugs problem, so I've made this guide to summary up for temporary solution for now. I've might change it after a few weeks after Recorder's new update, or some new bug problem that needs to be testing. Hope this help.
1 ) Don't uninstall a mod mid-play, especially heavily scripted ones. They mess up your save game slowly. Although there are some mod that are safe to remove, but you will still need to clean up your save after that. Use "Save game script cleaner", It's easy to use even for beginners: http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/52363/?
2 ) Skyrim can only handle 255 mods. The game won't be able to load more than that, but there is a way to bypass that. You can merge multiple mod into one. They will give you a boost to performances and allow you to test out more mod without trouble! I highly recommend using one, remember to read the instruction: http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/69905/?
7 ) Remember to clean your esp, especially the official esp. (Update.esp; Dawnguard; Hearthfire; Dragonborn). Also use LOOT to check if there are any esp. that needs cleaning. You can clean them by using TES5Edit, remember to go watch video on youtube for instruction for this one : http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/25859/?
8 ) Resist the temptation of modding. This is the most difficult task that no man has ever succeeded it, but you must do it, otherwise you will hear your soul screaming: "...f***...I accidentally break my game for immersion and slottiness..."
I'm looking at you MxR.
Well that should be everything you need to remember about modding Skyrim. I know there's a lot of thing to digest but You'll get use to it in time.
1 ) I can't find The lost file at *location name* ?
2 ) "SETSTAGE" command for Recorder's "LOST FILE QUEST"? + I ACCIDENTALLY READ THE WHITERUN FILE, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
-The "Lost File" quest console command is "PPRecorderLostFilesQuest", if you wanted to use the "setstage" command, use this for emergency ONLY if you somehow encounter a bug or accidentally read the file at Whiterun.
EDIT: I saved you guys the trouble to figure out the stage command for the quest, hope this help for people who still have trouble with the quest.
3) How do I get Omnico the Ball of Wonder?
-If you can't get the spell tome through Recorder's Dialogue, than you can take it from her inventory, don't worry, You won't break her quest..
3.5) OMNICO WON'T FOLLOW ME, IS THAT NORMAL?
4) HOW ABOUT THE MISSING DRUNKEN DIALOGUE?
5 ) I use option from *follower overhaul mod like AFT, EFF UFO, etc...* But she won't talk to me; Can't dismiss her; Can't Re-recruit her! What should I do ?
-Don't try to control her with option from follower overhaul mod like AFT, IAFT, UFO, EFF,... Sometime it will destroy her AI, can be fixed by remove her from controlled or load from a save before you control her with them.
6 ) RECORDER'S HEAD TURN BROWN (black)! WHAT HAPPENED?!??!?!
8 ) (For Newbs) How do I let Recorder stay at my home whenever I dismiss her?
-If you wanted to set Recorder to stay at your home whenever you dismissed her, only use "My home is your home" Mod or the "2plus" version for more up to date. Don't worry, it's compatible with her and most follower without a their own custom homing system. Don't use follower overhaul control to set her home cause the result won't be... pretty.
Open up "Notepad" and paste in the text.
In the "Save" dialog box, navigate to the Skyrim directory. Default directory locations are listed below.
Non-Steam: "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim" or "C:\Program Files\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim"
After that, name and save the file. It is recommended you use a simple and appropriate name. For example, if you are using the "All Obtainable Spells" list below, name the file "spells". When saving the file, be sure that it has no file extension (i.e. rename the file and remove the ".txt" from the end).
Start up Skyrim. While ingame, open the console (default key: ~ or `). Type "bat <file name>", without quotes and using the name of your text file. Continuing the example from above, you would type in "bat spells" and the console will handle the rest, granting all obtainable spells to your character.
10 ) I ask Recorder to "wait" but she keeps following me? What should I do?
( PLAN A ) Use "My home is your home" as a place holder for the "Relax" option. Set her a home at a place you wanted her relax, than dismiss her for now. and you can come back to get her, buuuut you will still have to go back to the place where you wanted Recrder to stay when dismiss (unless you wanted her to stay the "Sleeping Giant Inn").
11 ) *For newbs again* I don't like her body type, can I change it?
12) I accidentally exit out the conversation when first meeting her and now her dialogue option is gone? I CAN'T TALK TO HER? WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!? SHOULD I UNINSTALL HER AND RE-STALL HER?!?!?!?!
13) RECORDER IS SWIMMING IN AIR?!?!? WHAT THE HORKER?!?!
14) Recorder doesn't dismount except when I enter into a new Area (Cell) (Dungeon, Town, Inn,Home, e.t.c...). How Can I force her to dismount?
A ) Click on Recorder > Type moveto player > Ya Done, she's now off Epony's back... seriously Panda, stop throwing Easter Egg at us.
See, Simple and temporary solution. Now get yourself ready to bang your head against the table for not being able to figure it out.
15) Recorder is mounting... the ground (A.k.a. She stuck in riding animation even when she dismount her horse)... Any help?
Okay guys, that's all of it for now, If you have a different problem, a new bug, glitch or a new way to fix the current bug plz do reply and leave a comment here.
16) Recorder doesn't want to get her files back, I want to remove them, is it save to remove them using console command?
-Despite being a dual wielder, Recorder's Two-handed Skills are always seem to be higher than her One-handed skill. She would even willing to use any Two-handed weapon that you will give her (You can now turn Recorder into Ruby Rose YEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!). Ironically, Her ring, "Recorder Power seed", give her a small boost to One-handed skill.
-Recorder has no skill for the Magic like Destruction, yet at early level, her Magika Bar take a much higher priority than her health and stamina... In English, Her Magika Bar is MUCH higher than Health bar and Stamina Bar at early level.
-Epony, Recorder's horse, is actually both a terrible pun and an Easter Egg referring to Epona, Link's horse from the Legend of Zelda. Smooth Potastic, Real smooth.

Update : I was unsure about my answer so I did a run with only 3 DLC, Recorder and Live Another Live(to skip Helgen) . And the result doesn't change, she will still think I was married to someone else after become lovers with her. Unless Hearthfire and Live Another Live was responsible somehow, this proof my theory from above was correct. So getting her spell tome through her dialogue is IMPOSSIBLE without some serious coding.
1. Download the loosefiles package.
2. Clean all of your NIFs with the SSE NIF optimizer.(This is important for not getting red and white vertices around Recorder and in some cases just getting her to appear.) You can get it here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4089/?
3. Install the Mod. I re-zipped the files and added to NMM from file, but any organizer or a manual install to the data folder should work.
4. Helpful but not necessary step: Clean with SSECK.
b. Set Your Recorder ESP as the active file, then load it and the masters.
5. Launch Skyrim, find Recorder, cause mayhem.
So far the only issue I'm running into is that I CTD as soon as it tries to load the memory after finding the file in her questline. If anyone has any ideas or can help with that I'd appreciate it. I also ran into some issues recruiting her while that doppelganger Ambriel was in my party. I dismissed Ambriel, recruited Recorder, and now they seem to get along fine.
You should also Remember, If Recorder STILL turn into... a triangle than just remove her legging. It was cause by some texture bug.

Unistall a mod without clean save will create a very big mess in your game like causing CTD and stuff. But I don't think you need to do something like uninstall and reinstall her. It's a little bit to extreme if you have that problem. Just load from your last save if you accidentally exit her conversation.
Butanyway yeah, You should clean up your save game before using it again. Here use this, remember to follow the instruction from the description: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52363/?

Congratulations and thanks to Maen for his hard work over the past year. The fruit of his labor (his original manuscript) is now in press at Journal of Biological Chemistry. Which no matter how you slice it, is a pretty good journal. The manuscript describes the results from heroic numbers of biochemical experiments, purifications and assays to show that a 'calcium sensor' molecule called calmodulin binds to the cardiac sodium channel. This feat is all the more impressive when one considers that Maen along with the Van Petegem crew started the project by setting up the biochemistry in the newly founded lab. Thanks to Dr. Van Petegem for the expert assistance, advice and encouragement. Here's to many, many more.

So, I made the mistake of allowing one dcm bring her kids for 4 days back in May until she got her child support check. Low and behold she stopped bringing her kids and said bc the new boyfriend got laid off and could watch them. She didn't give me two weeks notice but said she would be here June 2 to pay. As you can all guess, she never came back to pay. Well I filed in small claims court after sending her multiple invoices by certified letter. Apparently the Judge Judy show found our case and she agreed to go on it.
Her original balance was $77.18, I'm suing her for $782.18 after $5/day late payment fees. I didn't know that if I win the show will pay the judgement for her. So vacation here I come, along with my husband who the show is paying to travel with me. Bonus is his sisters live in California so we're changing the tickets they bought for our return and staying a few extra days!.
I've learned to get money in advanced now.
We had another provider forum member appear on Judge Judy!
I would so go on!!
How does 77 dollars owed turn into over 700 dollars ?
just make sure you have lots of proof and paper trail and contract.
I charge $45/day late fees, plus if I take a parent to court they pay for all my legal fees (court and attorney costs) plus any time I miss from work. An unpaid monthly fee in my daycare ($650-$700) could easily turn into THOUSANDS very quickly (non payment for a month would be about $1400 alone)!
I would assume it would be late fees accruing for everyday that payment is late.
It turned into over $700 because she was supposed to pay on June 2nd and there is a $5 daily late payment fee.
I totally understand the concept and point of late fees, but I do have to add that I did take a parent to small claims before and I won everything but half the late fees.
The judge said I had to stop charging the fees when I filed for court AND that realistically late fees shouldn't be charged beyond 30 days.
I was told it was "excessive".
He also said the point of a late fee was to detour parents from paying late and charging fees that amounted to 500% more than the original bill was not something he could in good faith grant. I receive the original payment due plus 30 days worth of late fees, filing fees and substitute costs.
That's really good info, BC. Thanks!
All the utility companies in my area continue charging interest on unpaid bills for YEARS... until the bill, plus late fees is paid in full. Same goes for many credit card companies, student loans, etc.
I personally feel just fine about continuing to charge a daily late fee until I get all the money owed to me... and I'd absolutely appeal a judge on this decision!
Apparently we (child care providers) aren't "special enough" to do that.
I agree with you though.....unfortunately the judge didn't. If appealing my own win in conciliation court was an option, I may have thought about it.
Maybe civil court is different. I don't know.
I don't have cable so I totally missed when Kimberli's case aired...does anyone know if it is on youtube or how I could find it online?
I missed it too! Hopefully it will re-air one day!
I remember the case number was #4125 and it aired on February 1, 2013.
I think someone posted a youtube link to it but I think the video no longer exists...I can't remember completely.
Maybe you could search with the date and/or case number for it.
I would say they can do so because it's in the original contract or agreement that is signed. If providers are able to put strong enough language in their contracts they may be able to do it as well. Most states allow interest to accrue on unpaid judgments, so if you can get it to that point you'll get interest, too.
Don't you also get paid even if you lose, too? A few years ago I was sent a letter from the People's Court and win or lose the case I still would have gotten paid something plus all travel accommodations. I think it was $250 if I lost which would have been more than the $177 I had originally sued for. I never agreed to go on though. | 2019-04-26T02:44:59Z | https://www.daycare.com/forum/showthread.php?s=a13b5eb7d39e57c474a0abeaef2cd01c&t=65963 |

When private funding for the annual Incline Village fireworks display dried up in 2006, a group of concerned citizens, local merchants and community leaders got together and came up with the idea for Red, White and Tahoe Blue. A multi-day celebration of our country’s independence, RW&TB features numerous events, concerts and one of the best fireworks shows in the nation. The festival is family-oriented with many events geared toward kids like chalk drawing and ice cream eating contests, a bike parade and a community fair and barbecue featuring carnival games, music and food. Other events include pancake breakfasts, a hometown parade, a veterans tribute and a wine and cheese tasting. Various bands and musicians play around town, and there’s one big concert every year at the main stage on the Village Green (past acts have included Elvin Bishop, Billy Ray Cyrus and Grand Funk Railroad). The highlight of the whole celebration is when the Reno Philharmonic takes the stage as fireworks light up the sky, synchronized with the music. Incline Village’s homespun Red, White and Tahoe Blue celebration has been rated one of the 10 best in the nation, and the fireworks rate in the top five. Many of the events are free but some have an entry fee. Please note that the population of Incline swells to more than triple its usual size Independence week, so you’ll need to show up early for events and have patience. The beaches in Incline, where some of the events are held, are private and not accessible to the general public. | 2019-04-20T15:11:45Z | https://tahoe.com/listings/red-white-and-tahoe-blue |

Ideas matter. If I didn’t think that, I wouldn’t have chosen an occupation that involves the discussion and dissemination of them. Still, there are more than a few economists, political scientists and conspiracy theorists who believe ideology is irrelevant. They argue that class consciousness, inexorable historical trends or special-interest influence can explain social action without regard to the ideas being espoused.
Nonsense. History is full of examples of important ideas transforming mankind, such as monotheism, experimental science and double-entry bookkeeping (which led to the creation of partnerships and corporations, the building blocks of modern capitalism). Human beings are willing to make great sacrifices, including their lives, to defend or advance what they believe.
Formal education is only one of many methods by which people receive and come to accept ideas. Much of what we believe comes from parents, peer groups or religious institutions. Armed with modern technology that puts much of the world’s library at our fingertips, we are also freer than any human beings have ever been to explore new ideas on our own.
Over the past four decades, ideas such as deregulating markets and adopting pro-growth tax codes have become increasingly powerful in public policy. You may be used to thinking about them in a domestic context, but the real action has been overseas. Since the end of the Cold War, for example, 14 post-communist countries have adopted at least partial privatization of their social-security systems and 21 have adopted flat-rate income taxes. America has yet to do either. More generally, as China, India, Indonesia and other countries of the developing world began to replace command-and-control economies with market institutions in the 1970s and ’80s, their standards of living began to rise. In fact, since 1970 we have experienced the biggest, broadest reduction in global poverty in recorded history. Of course ideas have power.
But how do such ideas spread? It’s not just about insider influence or massive expenditure. In a 2013 study for the journal Comparative Political Studies of post-Cold War reforms in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the authors concluded that while the World Bank and other large institutions spent significant resources promoting pension privatization, they didn’t do the same for the flat tax, which was advocated primarily by independent scholars and small free-market institutes. Yet the flat tax was more broadly adopted. Closer to home, American politics has become a clash of ideas, not just a clash of industry sectors or regional cultures. Republicans are more consistently conservative than they used to be, and Democrats are more consistently liberal. A fiscally conservative Southerner who would have been a “boll weevil” Democrat in the 1960s is now a right-of-center Republican. A socially liberal Yankee who would have been a “gypsy moth” Republican is now a left-of-center Democrat.
Two scholars, Andrew Pickering and James Rockey, believe that those differences have been magnified by economic change. In a study in the journal Public Choice, they looked at government size and measures of public ideology for American states. They found that the relationship was stronger when incomes were higher. Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, ideology had little impact on state-government size, which didn’t vary much. As incomes rose, however, states began to make different decisions about how to respond, reflecting different prevailing ideologies. California, for example, taxed rising incomes at higher rates to fund more government programs. Texas left more of that income in private hands to spend.
As a result, we now have a new ideological conflict about state policy and economic growth. North Carolina is right in the middle of it. What’s the big idea? We’re about to find out. | 2019-04-24T09:48:44Z | http://businessnc.com/whats-the-big-ideacategory/ |

Gemfibrozil helps to lower cholesterol. Gemfibrozil should be used together with lifestyle changes such as diet, weight-loss, and exercise.
Gemfibrozil is a prescription medication used with diet and exercise to reduce elevated LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and triglyceride levels while raising HDL ("good cholesterol"). This medication belongs to a group of drugs called fibrates. It works by reducing the production of triglycerides in the liver and by causing an increase in HDL.
Gemfibrozil comes in tablet form. It is taken twice daily, 30 minutes before morning and evening meals.
Common side effects include heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea.
Gemfibrozil may cause dizziness and blurred vision. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how gemfibrozil affects you.
How was your experience with Gemfibrozil?
What tips would you provide a friend before taking Gemfibrozil?
What are you taking Gemfibrozil for?
How well did Gemfibrozil work for you?
How likely would you be to recommend Gemfibrozil to a friend?
This is not a complete list of gemfibrozil side effects. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
This is not a complete list of gemfibrozil drug interactions. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
A medication similar to gemfibrozil has caused cancer, gallbladder disease, and stomach pain. Talk to your doctor about the risks associated with gemfibrozil.
Medications can interact with certain foods. In some cases, this may be harmful and your doctor may advise you to avoid certain foods. In the case of gemfibrozil, there are no specific foods that you must exclude from your diet when receiving this medication.
However, you are advised to eat a low-fat and low-choelsterol diet. Follow all exercise and dietary recommendations made by your doctor or dietition.
Gemfibrozil falls into category C. In animal studies, pregnant animals were given this medication and had some babies born with problems. No well-controlled studies have been done in humans. Therefore, this medication may be used if the potential benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risks to the unborn child.
It is not known if gemfibrozil crosses into human milk. Because many medications can cross into human milk and because of the possibility for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants with use this medication, a choice should be made whether to stop nursing or stop the use of this medication. Your doctor and you will decide if the benefits outweigh the risk of using gemfibrozil.
Take gemfibrozil exactly as prescribed.
Gemfibrozil comes in oral tablet form and is taken 2 times a day, 30 minutes before the morning and evening meals.
If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take 2 doses of gemfibrozil at the same time.
The recommended dose of gemfibrozil for adults is 1200 mg divided into 2 doses a day. It should be taken 30 minutes before the morning and evening meals.
If you take too much gemfibrozil, call your healthcare provider or local Poison Control Center or seek emergency medical attention right away.
If gemfibrozil is administered by a healthcare provider in a medical setting, it is unlikely that an overdose will occur. However, if an overdose is suspected, seek emergency medical attention.
Store gemfibrozil at room temperature. | 2019-04-24T00:02:30Z | http://caas.rxwiki.com/gemfibrozil |

Studies demonstrate that foot fractures are among the top common fracture injuries assessed by physicians. It’s not surprising considering the foot is comprised of 26 different bones. When any of these structures receive unexpected or repetitive impact, whether sports or trauma related, the likelihood for a foot fracture to occur increases.
At OrthoAspen, our elite-grade specialists are educated and experienced in treating foot fractures, utilizing the most innovative approaches. It’s our goal to ensure that our patients return to their active lifestyles as quickly—and as safely—as possible.
In addition to repetitive impact-related exercise such as running, jumping and similar sports-oriented activity, dropping a heavy object on the foot or abrupt force to the foot, can cause fractures.
Muscles, tendons and ligaments support the bones and joints of the feet. This is what enables them to withstand the entire body’s weight while walking, running and jumping. Even despite this protection, trauma and stress can cause fractures in the foot. Extreme force is required to fracture the bones in the hindfoot. The most common type of foot fracture is a stress fracture, which occurs when repeated activities produce small cracks in the bones.
This type of fracture affects the heel bone and occurs mostly as a result of high-energy collisions. It can cause disabling injuries, and if the subtalar joint is involved, it’s considered a severe fracture.
The talus bone helps to transfer weight and forces across the joint. Talus fractures usually occur at the neck or mid portion of the talus.
Navicular fractures are rare and include mostly stress fractures that occur with sports activities, such as running and gymnastics, because of repeated loading on the foot.
This type of fracture occurs due to excessive loading on the foot, which leads to stretching or tearing of the midfoot ligaments.
To properly evaluate a potential foot fracture injury, your OrthoAspen physician begins by reviewing your medical history and performs a thorough physical examination of your foot. Imaging tests such as X-rays, an MRI or a CT scan may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. Navicular fractures can be especially difficult to diagnose without imaging tests.
Treatment depends on the type of fracture sustained. Whenever possible, our OrthoAspen Foot and Ankle team will attempt to apply conservative treatment methods.
More severe foot fractures may require surgery. If your OrthoAspen surgeon suggests surgery, a surgical procedure will be performed to align, reconstruct or fuse the joints (based on the specific type of fracture). Bone fragments may be held together with plates and screws.
Physical therapy is often recommended to improve range of motion and strengthen the foot muscles. Weight-bearing, however, should be a gradual process with the help of a cane or walking boot. Our ultimate goal at OrthoAspen is to get you back in motion following a safe and effective treatment protocol.
If you’re concerned that you may have experienced a foot fracture, simply click here to book a consultation with one of our expert orthopedic foot and ankle specialists, or call us anytime at 970-544-1289. | 2019-04-25T06:33:23Z | https://orthoaspen.org/condition/foot-fractures/ |
I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. My brother-in-law is big on the grace of God. He happens to be in the pastorate and always salts and peppers his sentences with the word “grace.” If I tell him that I’ll be seeing him soon, he says, “By the grace of God, Jon,” or if things are going well at his church, he’ll add, “And it’s only by God’s grace.” And he’s right. But how many of us live like we really believe that? We forget how absolutely needy we are of God’s grace. Second Peter 1 says, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness.” Did you notice the verb is the perfect tense: a definitive action that has occurred in the past with continuing results into the future? Jesus died to give us eternal life and now He lives to give us grace. So, let’s remember His generous grace that allows us to live. By the grace of God, we live today. And it’s something to repeat often. | 2019-04-23T08:09:19Z | http://wwww.joniandfriends.org/radio/1-minute/he-has-given-grace/ |

Vinyl has long been used to meet specific packaging needs due to its excellent transparency and high clarity, an ability to seal and sterilize and because it allows gas transmission important for some food products.
Vinyl (or polyvinyl chloride) packaging is used for clear, handled bottles such as for cordials; clamshells to protect fruit and vegetables, cakes and other food stuffs; and as film for wrapping and protecting fresh meat, dairy and deli products. It is also used as secure blister packaging for products such as batteries, razors, toys, pharmaceuticals and an array of consumer products, and as packaging for the safe delivery of medical products like intravenous fluids.
However, vinyl packaging is a very small proportion (reliable data is hard to come by but it may be 2-4 percent) of all packaging materials (industrial and consumer) used in Australia . Most vinyl is used in long life products, particularly building products including potable water pipe, sewer pipe, conduit, cabling, flooring and window profiles.
Rigid vinyl packaging such as bottles and thermoformed packaging is recyclable when collected from kerbside and sorted from other polymers and packaging materials. Most councils around Australia have included these products in collections for many years.
Post-consumer vinyl bottles are separated out where manual sorting systems operate at Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and sent to recyclers. The Vinyl Cycle bottle recycling program that operated for many years until 2012 demonstrated that a recycling rate of over 50% was achieved when vinyl bottles were manually sorted for recycling; however, today very few MRFs operate such systems.
Optical sorting technologies exist based on Near InfraRed cameras that can identify polymer types, including vinyl, and colours (except black). These achieve high purity streams, generally 93-96% for most polymers . In Australia, however, use of such technologies has largely been limited to identifying only the dominant two packaging polymers – PET and HDPE – despite local demand for recovered vinyl for remanufacturing within Australia.
Post-industrial rigid vinyl packaging material such as thermoforming scrap, is sought after as a recyclate for use in other products.
A successful program operates across Australia’s healthcare sector to collect flexible vinyl used in intravenous (IV) bags. The PVC Recycling in Hospitals scheme operates in over 160 healthcare facilities in Australia and New Zealand and collects approximately 15-20 tonnes a month of flexible vinyl packaging, tubing and oxygen masks. This material is reprocessed locally into new long-life products. The success of the program is in part due to the separation at source of the vinyl products, reducing contamination from other polymers and materials.
Unfortunately, there is little if any collection and recycling of post-consumer films and food wrap, regardless of polymer type. This is due to high contamination from dirt and other non-plastic materials, the mix of polymers used to manufacture films including multilayer mixed polymer films and the risk of films entangling and damaging equipment. Nevertheless, the vinyl film industry in Australia has taken actions to reduce raw material use through down-gauging films and continually seeks ways to reduce the life cycle footprint of these products.
Clean, separated vinyl waste is relatively easy to recycle as vinyl is a thermoplastic. Vinyl’s melting point is relatively low which means less energy is required for reprocessing it than compared to other polymers, but this is the reason it is considered a ‘contaminant’ in other polymer streams as it burns at higher temperatures.
There is good reason therefore to implement technologies and systems to separate vinyl early in the kerbside waste sorting process.
Using recycled vinyl in new products replaces the use of virgin vinyl compound and reduces the carbon emissions associated with manufacturing virgin vinyl by about 80-85 percent. This significantly lowers the carbon footprint of new vinyl products.
Local manufacturers of vinyl products have indicated that they have an appetite to increase the use of vinyl recyclate if reliable, continuous sources of recyclate are made available. Signatory companies to the long-established PVC Stewardship Program are publicly committed to use recyclate in the products they supply to the market unless product standards prohibit it. The Council therefore welcomes initiatives by MRFs to separate rigid vinyl packaging and some flexibles for local reprocessing and reuse in Australia.
PVC packaging is recyclable as it is collected by most councils and in the healthcare system, can be sorted into a defined stream, can be reprocessed and used as recyclate in new products manufactured in Australia, and has value.
In 2018, the Victorian state’s Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group (MWRRG) provided a $20,000 grant to part fund an investigation into the feasibility of recycling vinyl coated fabrics into roof tiles, one of the product concepts identified in Porject ReMake. The VersrTile project enabled an expert multidisciplinary team led by the Vinyl Council to design and test reprocessing techniques and form prototype roof tiles made from waste billboard skins. The project outcomes included testing the manufactured sample tiles, which found the tiles could resist weathering as required under applicable standards; however, further development is required on the tile prototypes to meet mechanical strength tests required for roof tiles.
A preliminary business case has been developed to understand the financial and production factors that will be required to manufacture these roof tiles economically and to assess their commercially feasibility. The significance of this project is that it identifies a potential reuse of a composite material into a durable, high volume product without the need to separate the polyester fibre from the vinyl.

A paper by one of the Vinyl Council's research partners, Dr. Sagar T Cholake, Research Associate, Centre for Sustainable Materials Research & Technology, University of New South Wales, has been published in the journal Resources, Conservation and Recycling Volume 136, September 2018 related to the Council's vinyl banner recycling project.
The paper, ‘Cost-effective and sustainable approach to transform end-of-life vinyl banner to value added product’ details a potential, new low-cost solution for waste PVC coated fabrics that does not require the separation of the PVC from the polyester fabric, overcoming a major barrier to recycling.
Testing by the UNSW team indicated that waste PVC-coated banners could be used to fabricate strong and durable composite panels for multiple indoor and outdoor applications and the paper shows one example of final product.
Life cycle analysis, conducted as part of the research, showed that replacing virgin PVC by recycled PVC from banner emits 78% less greenhouse gas emissions (kg CO2 equivalent).

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Groups advocating for Minnesota's Latino community are at the state Capitol to highlight issues affecting immigrants.
Roughly 150 people gathered in the rotunda Monday and were led in a chant of, "No ban, no wall. Sanctuary for all."
Speakers addressed many issues ranging from the education gap to affordable health insurance.
Advocates also highlighted the importance of creating a Real ID law that would allow immigrants living in the country illegally to get driver's licenses. They also stressed the importance of continuing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects those brought to the country illegally as children. | 2019-04-22T11:59:40Z | https://www.mariowire.com/blog/post/advocates-bring-focus-on-issues-affecting-latino-community |

THE main story on the front page, records another Caithness tragedy on the roads, the second within a month. The accident, near Thurso, claimed the life of Thurso man Michael Cameron. The other occupant of the Vauxhall Astra, which left the road and collided with a farm steading and a flagstone garden fence, early on Saturday morning, was Stuart McCulloch. His condition at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, was said to be “stable”, today.
A SUPPORTING story on Page 1. warns people in the Far North to be “ready and waiting” to fight any proposed closure of the vet lab at Thurso. The alert comes from MSP Jamie Stone, after he received confirmation from rural affairs secretary, Richard Lochhead, that the future of the lab is under review. A year-long review of animal disease surveillance in Scotland has been carried out and it expected to recommend a reduction in the number of Scottish Agricultural College labs as well as changes in how the service is carried out. Mr Lochhead said it would be premature to speculate on the future of any facility or service and he gave an assurance that no decisions had been taken or conclusions reached “at this stage”. Officials are due to report their conclusions and recommendations, later this month.
THE third front page story record the multi-million pound boost Caithness received when it played host to the national Mod, in October.
INSIDE, the paper reports, that according to a government report on the sinking of the Peterhead fishing boat Trident, off the Caithness coast, 37 years ago, no-one was to blamed. The report followed a fresh inquiry into the tragedy, presided over by Sheriff Principal Sir Stephen Young. He agreed with the findings of experts who said the most likely cause of the sinking was a sudden and catastrophic capsize.
STAFF and students of North Highland College UHI have showed planned educations cuts the red card. They staged a protest outside the Thurso campus, which impressed organiser, Fiona MacIntosh, the local convener of the teaching and lecturers’ union, EIS-FELA. She has started the campaign against funding cuts set for June, which she claimed could threaten the college’s future and has urged people in the county to back it.
A REPORT by the Accounts Commission, criticises a corporate failure by Highland Council in the way the local authority’s handling of the controversial heating scheme in Wick. The report said the scheme, which could cost the council more than £13 million, had a number of weaknesses and criticises the lack of effective management of the project. It also highlighted aspects of the performance of two senior officers.
A GLOBAL firm providing IT solutions and services is working to expand its Caithness workforce over the next two years. CSC’s local operation previously worked exclusively within the fence at Dounreay. While retaining some staff on the site, it moved its base to the Forss business park, over a year ago, which signalled start of a plan to grow the operation and diversify the business. Highlands and Islands Enterprise has been working closely to support the company in its plans to target new contracts across a range of sectors. The agency is now providing £37,500 funding to support the CSC Forss growth plan which aims to create 15 new jobs in the area.
RESIDENTS in Ormlie are being invited to an open day to help shape the latest phase of improvements in the Thurso housing estate. Sheena Christie has just been appointed to spearhead the new, five-year plan to further transform the one-time council ghetto. The open day takes place on Saturday at the Ormlie Community Centre, between 1pm and 5pm.
HOUSEHOLDERS are gearing up for a change to the refuse regime which will see the weekly general lift being replaced by a recycling collection, once a fortnight. Caithness and Lochaber are at the forefront of the changes following a trial in Skye and Lochalsh, and preparations for the new-look service have stepped up over the past week as the Highland council began the distribution of new calendars and information booklets.
LOCAL fishermen are to take part in a pilot study to assess industry activity in the Pentland Firth and the waters around Orkney. The survey comes in the wake of proposals to establish tidal energy development off the coast of Caithness. Although Thurso creel fisherman, James Bremner, has not been contacted about the study, yet, he said he felt it would be a good thing, particularly if the findings from local crews are taken on board.
RETIRED Lybster GP is gearing up for a test of endurance at this year’s London marathon. Peter Joiner will take to the streets of the capital along with thousands of others, for the gruelling 26 mile run, hoping to raise a substantial sum for the RNLI. It will also be something of a personal challenge for the 64-year-old who had three stents fitted into his heart, two years ago.
THERE was no lack of drama in Thurso, on Saturday night when Thurso Players came out on top at the district round of the Scottish Community Drama Association festivals of one-act plays. Their entry, Chinamen, directed by Audrey O’ Brien, received the Adam Swanson Memorial Trophy for the winning play. The play now goes forward to compete in the Highland divisional festival later in the month.
WICK ACADEMY blotted their home matches progress, when they crashed 5-3 to Keith in a game at Harmsworth Park which saw the home team scorn a 2-0 advantage, in the first half.

Google has announced that it will be shutting down its smart-messaging service Allo which it launched just over two years ago.
The decision comes after the company “paused investment in Allo” earlier this year, and brought its features to Messages — Google’s SMS-based messaging service for Android.
“Given Messages’ continued momentum, we’ve decided to stop supporting Allo to focus on Messages,” the company explained in the announcement.
Features such as desktop support, GIFs and Smart Reply have already moved from Allo to Messages.
“We’ve learned a lot from Allo, particularly what’s possible when you incorporate machine learning features, like the Google Assistant, into messaging,” Google also noted.
Allo will officially stop running in March 2019.
In the meantime, users are being encouraged to export their conversations and save their media before the app shuts down.
March 2019 is significant for another Google app. Inbox, the company’s smart email app, will also cease to function. | 2019-04-24T01:59:43Z | https://memeburn.com/2018/12/google-allo-shutting-down/ |

As heavy rains continued to lash various parts of Kerala, two more shutters of the Cheruthoni Dam, part of the Idukki Reservoir, were opened on Friday as the water level touched 2,401 feet.
Union Minister KJ Alphons, who is from Kerala, said this is the biggest spell of rain the state has witnessed in five decades."It is the biggest rain we had in 50 years," he was quoted by news agency ANI.
For the first time in the last 26 years, a shutter of the Cheruthoni Dam was opened yesterday and two more were opened at 7 am.
The full reservoir level is 2,403 feet and storage capacity is 69,268 Mcft and storage percentage is 97.61 percent.
So far 27 people have been killed, including 11 in high range Idukki in landslips yesterday as rain continued to pound the southern state.
Over 5,500 people from Wayanad district, where a red alert had been sounded yesterday, have been shifted to relief camps, the sources said Friday morning.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with the Kerala Chief Minister on Thursday in the wake of heavy rains and floods in the state, and offered all possible assistance to those affected. | 2019-04-19T16:45:09Z | http://www.24emirates.xyz/world/27-killed-in-kerala-rain-3-shutters-of-idukki-dam-opened/69835-news |

Bronkhorstspruit Dam Nature Reserve is a haven for waterfowl and the surrounding grassland attracts a number of interesting grassland endemics. Over 200 species have been recorded in the reserve and it is an excellent place to get to grips with some of the more common inland waders and grassland LBJ's. Visiting birders can expect to see some 70 species in a morning outing.
Red-chested Flufftail, White-backed Duck, Great Crested Grebe, Orange River Francolin, Spike-heeled Lark and Red-capped Lark, Lesser Kestrel, Amur Falcon, Blue Korhaan, Caspian Tern, a variety of reed warblers, Wing-snapping Cisticola, Cloud Cisticola and Marsh Owl.
The centrepiece to the reserve is the large Bronkhorstspruit Dam itself and surrounding reedbeds. When the water level drops some areas of exposed muddy shoreline provide good wader habitat. Copses of exotic trees (mostly Eucalyptus) occur and grasslands make up the rest of the reserve.
The reserve is very popular with anglers, and an early start is recommended. Weekends and public holidays may be very busy. A relatively good dirt road runs from the entrance gate to the end of the dam, sometimes passing close to the shore and at other times going through the grasslands. There is a hide near the entrance gate and one can walk anywhere in the reserve. There are a number of camping sites along the shore, each with limited toilet facilities and a concrete braai area.
Approaching the reserve, check the bridge area for Giant Kingfisher, Pied Kingfisher, Malachite Kingfisher, Greater Striped Swallow, White-throated Swallow, South African Cliff-Swallow, Little Egret and Hamerkop. This is a good area to spend half an hour waiting for waterbirds.
The next area to visit is the direct vicinity of the entrance gate. The exotic trees here are home to Bokmakierie, Fork-tailed Drongo and Red-throated Wryneck.
After paying the entrance fee at the gate, turn right and head down to the (currently dilapidated) hide. The hide itself is not particularly good for waterbirds, but the reedbeds are full of Southern Masked-Weaver, Cape Weaver and Southern Red Bishop in summer, and Little Rush-Warbler, African Reed-Warbler and Lesser Swamp-Warbler are not uncommon. The general vicinity of the hide is sometimes good for Red-chested Flufftail and White-backed Duck, and Little Bittern is spotted from time to time. Patches of aquatic and marginal vegetation occur all along the shoreline, and are well developed where smaller streams enter the dam or where there are shallow depressions. The reedbeds and sedge beds and the grassland adjacent to them are good for Yellow-crowned Bishop and White-winged Widowbird in summer. They are also around in winter but are a lot harder to identify in non-breeding plumage. Other species that are often seen in such habitats are Marsh Owl, Common Waxbill, Orange-breasted Waxbill and Levaillant's Cisticola.
It is sometimes possible to drive upstream to the south of the entrance gate on a series of tracks ' please check with the staff at the entrance gate whether road conditions allow this.
Waterbirds are common along the road parallel to the shoreline. In summer large numbers of Palearctic waders occur. Common Ringed Plover are present at times, and Kittlitz's Plover can be abundant when conditions are right. Others that are often found include Curlew Sandpiper, Three-banded Plover, Common Greenshank, Marsh Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper and Little Stint. Larger waterbirds often congregate either in rafts on the open water or in flocks on the shore. White-breasted Cormorant and Reed Cormorant are common and African Darter occur close to reeds or other cover. Grey-headed Gull are usually around and visitors should keep an eye open for Lesser Black-backed Gull in summer. White-winged Tern and Whiskered Tern are usually to be found and Caspian Tern visits in winter. Osprey is also sometimes sighted. Great Crested Grebe are unusually common on the water in-between the Red-knobbed Coot, Common Moorhen, Little Grebe, Egyptian Goose and Yellow-billed Duck. Herons are also common; look for Grey Heron, Purple Heron, Black-headed Heron, Cattle Egret, Squacco Heron, Little Bittern, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Great Egret, Yellow-billed Egret and the occasional Black Heron. Also to be seen on the exposed shoreline are African Quailfinch coming to drink.
The grassland areas are home to a range of interesting LBJ's. Cisticola are common and of the smaller ones, Zitting Cisticola, Cloud Cisticola, Wing-snapping Cisticola and Desert Cisticola can be identified by their species calls. Northern Black Korhaan and Swainson's Spurfowl have similar crowing calls and can be heard in the early morning. Blue Korhaan are recorded annually. Long-tailed Widowbird are conspicuous in summer and Crowned Lapwing, African Wattled Lapwing and Blacksmith Lapwing are abundant. Rufous-naped Lark, African Pipit, Cape Longclaw and Red-capped Lark are the most commonly confusing species, but Pink-billed Lark and Spike-heeled Lark, Chestnut-backed Sparrowlark and Lark-like Bunting are sometimes present.
The reserve incorporates the southern section of the dam and the entrance is from the Bronkhorstspruit / Delmas about 40 minutes' drive from Pretoria. Take the N4 east and turn off at the Bronkhorstspruit / Delmas offramp. Turn right onto the R42 towards Delmas. After 3.8 km turn left to Delmas (R42). The entrance road to the reserve is found on the right after 13.7 km.
An entrance fee is payable at the gate. | 2019-04-23T16:40:48Z | http://wiki.sabirding.co.za/(X(1)S(dvan5dvgnrxq2g55m3yp4gny))/Bronkhorstspruit.ashx |

Our lives are a journey. A spiritual journey. We experience, in order to expand. In our experiences, we have choice.
Some experiences we’ve outgrown. We’ve learned what we needed to from them, and we no longer carry them daily. Like your best friend in fifth grade whom you chose to drift apart from, but in hindsight you see that you now listen to your inner authority over others’.
Some experiences are foundations. We’ve built upon them, and we continue to learn and grow from them. Like your religious history, that opened the door for choosing an even deeper and ongoing spirituality.
How about our challenging experiences? The ones in which we wonder what the right choice was. Should I have stayed in that relationship? What if I had not moved? Did I choose the right career?
Did I make the right choice? Did I take the right path?
On your spiritual journey, you’ve done nothing wrong.
In order to be who we are born to become, life could not have happened ANY other way. All of our experiences, all of our choices, led us to where we are here. And here is RIGHT where we are supposed to be.
Look at it as present time, rather than past.
In order to be who I was born to become, life could not be happening any other way.
Our current challenges, our current choices — those are the ones we will look back at one day and examine the journey in hindsight.
But can you see your Divine journey in them right now, in the thick of the ick?
Maybe that muck that we’re stuck in is actually pudding. Or cake batter. Or better yet, cheesecake. What if the hurdles are actually stairs? Could the detour really be our most supportive road, and could being late truly arrive us in right time?
We can be pretty good at looking back and holding space for it all having worked out the way it was supposed to.
Now let’s trust that it is happening in real-time.
Are you currently experiencing a challenging situation or aspect? Can you embrace that you are right where you are supposed to be, and in the process of becoming who you are born to be? Maybe give that some thought over a piece of cheesecake. | 2019-04-25T16:27:01Z | https://ginadrellack.com/2019/04/17/spiritual-beings-having-a-human-experience/ |
An earwax candle is a tool that is said to clear the ear of wax using heat conducted from the candle. There are safety issues involved with these candles, but many people swear that they work, and help with a variety of issues related to the ears and health.
What Is an Earwax Candle?
Ear candling is the process of burning a special candle made of cotton, linen, or other natural cloth while the unlit end is placed in the ear. While the candle burns, it is claimed that earwax and other toxins are removed.
What Stores Sell Ear Candles?
This process is also called ear coning. The earwax candle is made by winding the fabric into a tight, narrow cone with a hollow center, and then soaking the cone in beeswax so that it will harden and burn like a real candle.
The subject of the ear candling starts off by laying on one side. The ear candle is then placed into the ear, and the opposite end is lit. Sometimes the candle is first fed through a paper plate or other tray that rests on the side of the head, to catch the dripping wax and prevent burns.
The theory behind this practice is that the heat from the flame in conjunction with the suction from the opposite ear on a flat surface creates a vacuum. This in turn draws out toxins and dissolves earwax, collecting these undesired elements inside the cone. Each ear receives one or two candles, depending on how much wax and debris is thought to be present. The candles themselves are burned for several minutes at a time, then extinguished and relit.
After the procedure is finished and the candle has burned down to about four inches in length, the remains of the ear candle are cut open. Inside there is always some black and yellowish debris, which is claimed to be the toxins and earwax. Critics of the practice say that this mess is actually just the result of the burning of the candle.
There have been reports of all of these things occurring during a standard ear coning. If you decide to try this method of removing excess earwax, proceed with caution.
Each country decides whether certain products are safe to sell to its citizens, and ear candles have created some controversy. In the United States they may be sold, but manufacturers may not make any medical claims on the packaging or promotional materials.
Canadian officials have banned the sale and use of ear candles in that country. In Europe, these candles may be sold and even labeled as safe to use.
Proponents of earwax candles insist that they not only help to remove wax, but also cleanse the inner ear passages and even help with sinuses and other bodily systems.
Critics, however, claim that these candles can be extremely dangerous and don't actually help to remove earwax at all. Some people who have tried this practice have ended up with melted wax adhering to their ear drums, risking their hearing and requiring surgery to have the wax removed.
Before you decide to try an ear candle or have the procedure done by someone else, consider all of the risks. Look into traditional methods of removing excess earwax by asking your doctor about your options. | 2019-04-24T01:13:51Z | https://candles.lovetoknow.com/Ear_Wax_Candle |
Bufori is a brand of hand-built automobiles inspired by American 1930s coupes. The company is owned by three Australian Lebanese brothers Anthony, George and Gerry Khouri. In 1986, Gerry Khouri began to build three special sports cars in his garage, one each for the three brothers, which led to the formation of the company. The name Bufori is an acronym that stands for B - Beautiful U - Unique F - Funtastic O - Original R - Romantic I - Irresistible.
The Bufori Motor Car Company Pty. Ltd. is a proprietary company limited by shares and registered in Australia, as is the Bufori Motor Car Company (M) Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia. Originally, all of the manufacturing and sales operations were conducted in Australia, but in 1998 full production moved to new facilities in Kepong, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia.
The production facility in Kuala Lumpur has an installed capacity of 300 vehicles per year, and the company employs 108 skilled craftsmen. Each unit is built by hand using traditional techniques in a 25-step production process. The body of a Bufori is made out of carbon fibre and Kevlar composite material, which is light and ultra-strong. Every Bufori is made to order and can be customised according to the owner's wishes.
The Bufori MKI, MKII and MKIII La Joya are displayed at the Malaysian National Automotive Museum based at the Sepang International Circuit since 2003.
A four-door car defined as a "Luxury Saloon", which was introduced at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show (hence its name). It features a 6.1L Chrysler V8 engine producing 430 hp. The powertrain was later on updated to a 6.4L V8 producing 470 hp. The interior of the car is highly customisable. The rear centre console can accommodate an automatic coffee machine, a Chinese tea set with instant boiling water, a fridge, a cigar humidor or a mini-bar. The rear lounge seats are electrically adjustable and feature heating & cooling as well as a pneumatic massage device. The seatback trays are electrically actuated. The rear doors are rear-hinged (so-called "coach doors") and can be closed electrically by the press of a button. The car is also equipped with a thermal night-vision camera and an adjustable air suspension.

The Bufori BMS R1 is the race derivative of the Bufori CS road car that is still to be launched. The car is a joint effort between Bufori Motor Sports (BMS) and Axle Motorsports. The BMS R1 made its global racing debut at the 2009 Macau Grand Prix with Alex Yoong as its driver..

You’re probably a regular queuer at Subway. You cut out Domino’s vouchers from the multiple voucher leaflets you collected on Freshers’ Week, every week. When you wanna treat yourself, you might nip to Nandos. Who doesn’t!? But there is more. Here’s the lowdown on 6 student budget places to eat in Coventry!
Realistically, you should know about the Phoenix by now, because of its most convenient of locations: right there on the corner across from the Hub. This is the student spot, and so the prices and menu reflect that. The atmosphere is easy going for a drink and their wings and burritos aren’t bad either.
Turkish restaurant (although it’s less of a restaurant given its size) Pasha is one many pass by and may not take notice of. Do not be one of these people. They make the food in front of you much like Subway, and they do some must-try wraps.
While some might not know this exists, the likelihood is you’ve walked straight past a little gem heading into the City Centre. Located behind the cathedral, this swanky ‘establishment’ – an 18th century county hall/courtroom reflects its up-market image with higher prices and posher food. However, at lunchtimes, Monday to Friday, it’s 2-for-1 on burgers. So for the same price as a Subway and without the Subway queues, you can feast on a fat and juicy burger with fries and coleslaw.
A chain restaurant you may have seen in other UK cities, Cosmo is an all-you-can-eat buffet like no other. While going at lunchtime means less choice than the evening, that doesn’t impact on the quantity as, after all, that’s up to and how much you can devour. Stack that plate up like the lecture handout pile growing on your desk in your room. Chinese and Indian cuisine on demand.
Tucked away into the detached shops of Far Gosford Street is Habibi. Middle Eastern halal cuisine served in an exotic Bedouin tent and garden out back. Habibi was voted one of the best veggie restaurants in the entire city and also allows your to BYOB (Bring your own beer, or of course, whatever else you prefer). Seeing as you probably walk past it on a regular basis, seems rude not to give it a try.
This is UnCOVered’s holy grail. Noodle Bar, or as we have nicknamed it, ‘Noody B’. You can get a succulent Chinese meal for a sweet low price. A generous bowl of quality food for literally £6/£7. Select a meat (or non-meat), a cooking style with vegetables/sauce and the type of noodles you want and then wait mere minutes. Prepared by the city’s fastest chefs, your order will arrive sharpish, and you will be satisfied. You’re welcome.
Let us know if you try any of these after reading this guide, or if you already have!

This project status remains at urgent status (I.E. Yellow). For AD this effort remains on hold until the non-technical aspects of the project have been resolved. For META, the project team continues to process user-accounts that were missed in the previous rename efforts. KUMC is working to rename their accounts provisioned with the vfa, and aff suffixes. KUL is renaming the corresponding accounts to match. KUL and KUMC are also continuing work on a problem where KUMC students are being provisioned at KUL first, and then getting a KUL formatted user-account name. The project team will also resume discussions for data synchronization, so that phase 1 can come to a conclusion.
The Increase MFD Usage team has completed standard operating procedures for optimizing MFD usage across campus, and is now implementing these processes in lockstep with the Reorganize and Redefine IT Staff and organization team. MFDs are in use at a large computing lab previously leveraging laserjets and currently is trending as the 3rd highest printing lab on campus. There was a 1.0% decrease in MFD usage for the month of April 2015 versus April 2014 with an overall 4% increase from FY14 to FY15.

After the excitement of Game of Thrones Season 5 being filmed in the Alcazar palace in Seville last October, and subsequently in Osuna’s bullring, the limelight has transferred to Almeria province this year, where filming of Season 6 will take place next month on the Almeria coast and in the Tabernas desert. This is the second season which has been filmed in Andalucia.
Staff have been spotted preparing scenery in the area of El Chorrilo de Pechina in Sierra Alhamilla, where Exodus: Gods and Kings was also filmed recently, and the Faro de Mesa Roldan lighthouse near Carboneras. Sets are being constructed using materials specially prepared in Belfast and then transported to Spain, to be put together on location.
The Alcazaba in Almeria, the city’s Moorish citadel, is also to feature as a palace.
Almerian locations will represent either Dorne (as was the case with the Alcazar in Seville) or Essos.
Other locations include the Muralla de Jayrán, and the Cautivo de Tabernas, where 100 horses will be used, making it likely that this location will be Essos, home to the Dothraki, a nomadic horse-riding warrior tribe similar to the Mongols.
Shooting will take place from 10 to 23 October, with 2700 extras being used – 1800 men and 900 women.
Season 6 is expected to air in April 2016, like previous seasons of Game of Thrones.
To see which movies were filmed around Almeria province, see our list of films shot in Andalucia. The other Spanish locations for this season of Game of Thrones (Juego de Tronas in Spanish) are Girona, in the north-east, and Peñiscola, in Castellon. | 2019-04-23T14:58:34Z | http://blog.andalucia.com/?p=16876 |
5 Ways to Amplify Student Voice With Technology Educational technology tips for teachers, librarians and schools.
We talk continuously about student motivation, engagement, and achievement as education professionals.
We share countless anecdotes recalling forward thinking and activities that we believe captured the hearts and minds of our students.
We attend conferences and workshops around the country and select breakout sessions that promise to show us new ways of enticing them to participate in our selected activities ungrudgingly.
We do all of these things from a good place in our hearts because we truly care about our students, but we often forget about the most important element—student voice.
If we were to reflect on our lesson planning and curriculum development, how much influence from student feedback would we find? I don’t mean what you or I thought the kids would like or want to do; I mean which concepts, topics, and activities were added to the curriculum specifically because student feedback forms, interviews, or focus groups yielded those suggestions.
The key to the breakthrough we’re seeking in education rests in empowering our students and encouraging them to take an active role in their learning!
Modern education champions Bruner, Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky, and the constructivist learning theory suggest that children acquire knowledge by being active participants in the learning environment.
Unfortunately, a majority of classroom curricula and lesson plans reflect a more passive approach to the learning process in which adults control the content, topics, and methods of knowledge acquisition while students do what they’re told.
What if we extended the Montessori method into upper grades and included students in the shared decision-making model by collaborating with them in the curriculum development process?
What if we used technology as a vehicle for collecting student feedback and cultivating classroom learning while promoting student voice?
What if our approach to education made student-centered span all facets including the curriculum writing?
We start small, but we must start.
Classroom blogs offer students their own personal space to reflect on classroom practices, learning objectives, personal engagement, and a host of other topics. Curating blogs also provides ample opportunities for students to exercise peer review and practice feedback skills with one another.
Building community online, as well as in the traditional setting, gives the relationship between you and your students, and students and their peers, another dimension.
The writing intensiveness of this activity is a plus too. Kids don’t need to blog every single day, but a few times a month keeps the novelty and boosts their engagement, especially if you tie in incentives.
Kidblog.org is education-friendly and has privacy measures specific to minors.
Outside of school, students have communities of friends and family with whom they exchange conversation and ideas on a daily basis. When they’re in school, they often retreat to their “circle of friends” without interacting with others.
Campus-wide use of a safe, free, tech tool like Edmodo can bridge that communication divide within and among grade levels, even branching out to other campuses. These online groups and promoted discussions give teachers and administrators new information and insights into what students would like to see and do within the classroom.
Edmodo looks quite a bit like Facebook, which is helpful for navigation, but there’s far more security and it’s strictly for teachers, students, and parents. As an added bonus, the platform has Office365 and a number of apps that users can access for studying and enrichment purposes.
I can’t stress enough how excited students get when they walk into the classroom and see the response pads (clickers) on the desks. Something as small as being able to point a remote at the board and give an answer with the touch of a button makes them want to complete the day’s lesson.
More importantly, teachers and administrators can employ clicker technology to collect large numbers of student opinions and perceptions. These can be used in school and classroom modifications, which reinforces the value of student voice and adult appreciation.
Companies like Turning Technologies are well equipped to outfit your campus with clicker sets if you don’t already have them.
Sometimes creativity gets lost in the classroom. Luckily, there are many ways to get it back while being an advocate for student voice.
In the age of Instagram, SnapChat, and “selfies,” students are more than familiar with cameras, filters, and retouches. To harness this, have students create photo journals about major topics in the community or world, including text discussing how they feel and what they think about it. This is a fun way to foster technological fluency while nurturing students’ personal expression.
Today’s cell phone cameras can take million-dollar shots, but if your library also has a set of digital cameras or newer iPods, consider building a yearlong photo journal project centered on student voice.
365project.org gives students a free place to upload images and create their photo journal that can be set to private. Don’t hesitate to look through the other apps and resources to find the best online journal for your students.
I might be dating myself here, but consider using “Confession Booths” like MTV’s Road Rules and Real World or modern-day reality television shows. The process is simple: Set up a webcam or regular video camera in a secluded corner of your room and allow students to take turns sharing their thoughts with you throughout a particular unit of study.
At the end, have different groups of kids edit the footage using iMovie, Windows Media, or another editing tool and produce their own mini-documentary/confessional. The final products can be uploaded to SchoolTube as student voice projects.
You can also use the videos to reflect on your unit and plan revisions you want to make based on student response.
There are several ways to begin promoting active student engagement in the educational process, and these tech tools are just a few of them. We have a gold mine of ideas and achievement waiting to be tapped via student feedback, and with a bit of planning and front-loading, we can use a variety of tech tools to encourage students and amplify their voices within the field of education. | 2019-04-25T05:43:36Z | http://blog.whooosreading.org/amplify-student-voice-with-technology/ |

Johns Hopkins Singapore (JHS) was established by The Johns Hopkins University in 1998 as its base of medical operations in South East Asia. It was Johns Hopkins' first clinical healthcare facility established outside of the United States. JHS' objectives then included conducting research, education and providing patient care. The clinical arm was initially named as Johns Hopkins-NUH International Medical Centre and co-located with the National University Hospital (NUH).
The Institute of Mental Health (IMH) is a 2,400-bed acute tertiary psychiatric hospital. It has wards for inpatients as well as two specialist outpatient clinics. Started by the British colonial government in 1928 as the Mental Hospital, the institute was renamed Woodbridge Hospital in 1951. In 1993, it shifted to its current Hougang/Buangkok campus and was reorganized as the Institute of Mental Health/Woodbridge Hospital (IMH/WH). Since 2007/2008, the use of the Woodbridge Hospital name has been dropped.
St Luke’s Hospital, started in 1996, is a community hospital that provides medical, nursing and rehabilitative care for the needy elderly. The hospital started out as St Luke's Hospital for the Elderly Sick but was renamed to the current name in 2004. Despite this, the hospital continues its core focus on geriatric medicine and care.
Since 2005, the hospital has had an outpatient clinic to serve discharged patients returning for follow-up care.
St Luke's Hospital is located in Bukit Batok in the western part of Singapore. | 2019-04-20T09:19:30Z | http://hospitals.sg/tags/hospital?page=7 |
Walter M. Miller, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Interesting but barely relevant to "Spirituality" or "Singularity."
Bombing Monte Cassino, a monestary founded by Benedict in the seventh century (a mission totally irrelevant for the Allied victory in WWII) led to conversion to Catholicism, PTSD. and the writing of A Canticle for Leibowitz, a post-apocolyptic novel about science, religion, and politics, but not really relevant for what i want to say about spirituality and singularity.
Bradberry's Farenheit 451 might be more appropriate?.
(edit) Canticle for Leibowitz does make the point that the products of science easily get beyond human control and if some of us survive a nuclear disaster our descendents will probably end up creating another one a couple thousand years in the future. This might provide all the possible negative effects of of a possible technological singularity without the help of superintelligent machines.
Do you know anybody whose I.Q. is twenty points higher than your own? Can you tell a difference between you two that higher I.Q. might account for? Imagine an I.Q. 500 points (500 percent) or 5000 points bigher. Do we know enough about intelligence, or even about what intelligence is, to trust ourselves to create machines that can outsmart us? Would superintelligent machines be superservants, superscientists, supermystics, or supertyrants?
Would human beings, or life itself, be considered obsolete, superfluous? How would i respond to such a situation, like Crazy Horse, Like St. Francis, like a maniac? Would it matter? (edit) Would the machines respect us as their creators, puny though we my be? | 2019-04-19T22:48:59Z | https://bobby1933.livejournal.com/662135.html |

Hello! I have two new pieces coming out shortly, one with The Florida Review, the second with Forklift Ohio. The latter piece, “Shevaun Looks for a Man” I read at a reading of Bennington Alumni in New York, and one of the editors of the journal was in the audience–she liked the piece and asked me to submit, for which I am grateful! It is a fun poem, and when it is up at the journal I will post a video of myself reading it because it really is more performance based.
I also have been taking the University of Iowa MOOC: How Writers Write Poetry, and very much enjoying it! There is still time to enroll and access the videos of past classes. I really recommend this course. If you’re looking for any of my submissions on there, I’m posting under sbrannig, and would love your feedback. I am learning a lot from the fellow students in the course, as well as the accomplished poets who have taken the time to film videos for us. | 2019-04-19T01:16:28Z | https://shevaunbrannigan.com/2014/07/ |

I’ve been blogging about our farm since 2006 and today marks the beginning of my weekly blogging for 2014. I’m really off and on during the off-season, but, since this is the first week of the CSA, I consistently write about farm issues and provide news from Lida Farm every week as well as provide information about what’s in the CSA box with a recipe.
Like a teacher looking at the new school year, I’m always a bit apprehensive about a new growing season. Will first box be ready in time? How do the veggies look? Will insect pressure overwhelm us? How about weeds? Weather? Stress? Kids? Oh, boy, no matter what’s thrown at us, the season is started and there’s no turning back for the next four months.
Putting together the box for today, however, a lot of those beginning of season fears fall away as the lettuce looks really good as we’re harvesting, there’s more broccoli than I thought, and, yes, we actually got a cultivation in with the tractor before this weekend’s rain. A sign which gave me even greater comfort was the garter snake which surprised me this morning near the lettuce patch. Like any reptile or amphibian, the snake is a sign of good health and I appreciate their presence even though I’m deathly afraid of them. It was almost as if he made his appearance today to welcome us to a new season.
Arugula (bunch of greens with elongated oak-like leaves): I like these in pasta or raw in a Italian-style salad with olive oil, balsamic, and parmesan cheese…you can also make an arugula pesto.
Place arugula in a food processor or blender with the garlic, nuts, salt and about a 1/4 t. pepper. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and pulse a few times. With the motor running, add additional olive oil to make a creamy sauce. Use within a day.
We like to add cheese and use it as a substitute for traditional basil pesto with pasta. You can also throw in some of the parsley to make the arugula taste more mild. Bittman suggests using the pesto on grilled chicken or shrimp.
The veggies are growing, although not at the rapid clip one would expect this time of year. We were able to cultivate once with the tractor so far just before a rain about ten days ago – that first rain was much appreciated but it doesn’t seem to want to stop. Rain keeps out of the fields and we just stand by and watch weeds grow.
Still, we are making headway. Last weekend’s heavy rains gave us a nice opportunity to really dive into work in the high tunnel where all our cherry and some specialty tomatoes are planted. We hoed, weeded, trellised, and mulched all eight rows and things look great. It’s now just a matter of giving them some time, and, in that environment which plants love (they are kind of like couch potatoes in the high tunnel), they will get as tall as me and just pump out tons of perfect tomatoes. I really can’t wait. | 2019-04-20T20:34:54Z | https://lidafarm.com/2014/06/ |
Annual 2018 – Temperature and Sunshine above average in most places. Storm Emma brought widespread snow.
on the 19th followed by Storm Bronagh, and Storm Callum on the 12th October. It was mild and unsettled for most of November with Storm Diana on the 28th. Atlantic westerlies dominated in December with Storm Deirdre on the 15th.
The first week of December was mild and unsettled with low-pressure systems and associated weather fronts traversing the country frequently in a mainly westerly airflow. This gave rain or showers every day with windy conditions at times, especially on the 7th and 8th. The second week continued with the generally unsettled theme, although less active on the 9th and 10th, as a transient area of high pressure moved over the country. High pressure established itself over Scandinavia on the 12th and the airflow over Ireland backed to south or southeast up to the 15th. The bulk of the rain during this period fell in the South. On the 15th, Storm Deirdre deepened rapidly as it moved across the country giving widespread heavy rain and very strong winds. The remainder of the third week was Atlantic dominated again in a south or south-westerly air flow with rain or showers on most days. It settled down towards Christmas as high pressure built from the south over the country giving a mostly dry Christmas and final week of the month and year. | 2019-04-23T15:02:11Z | https://www.met.ie/ga/climate-statements-for-november-and-autumn-2018-2 |
On Monday the twenty-ninth, mom, dad, Tandy, Tandy's mom Pam, Lexi, Braeden, Ella, Gail, Caroline, Jonathan, grandma Liebhardt, and myself journeyed to Navajo lake for family home evening. The theme: Jeremiah 16:16. The activity: fishing! The little kids (sans Ella and Jonathan) and grandpa, aka dad, all participated. I'm not one for fishing. So I built a rock castle because sand was in short supply. Rather, in no supply.
The weather was a little brisk but beautiful! After dinner of fresh strawberries, avocados, pasta salad, and roll sandwiches, we had a nice lesson about missionary work and the gathering of Israel. Almost everyone participated- grandma Liebhardt was chilly so she was in Gail's Blazer along with Gail and Jonathan. And Ella was playing in the van with Pam.
Tandy, Braeden, Lexi, Caroline, dad, mom, and I faced the chilly weather to roast s'mores over some briquettes in the fire pit.
Cutie to the max! Ella picking dandelions.
Grandpa/dad getting the kids' fishing poles ready. Notice me in the back working on my rock castle.
Braeden fishing on a rock.
Ella, Tandy, and Pam on the shore.
An aerial view of my rock castle. It was pretty awesome.
Another photo of my castle as the clock strikes twilight.
Brrr! Caroline and Gail bundle up to keep warm when the sun went behind the mountain.
I can't help but chuckle to myself when I look at the picture above for several reasons: Tandy appears to have a hanger/marshmallow sticking in her eye, I'm not toasting anything and... ok, so maybe that's all.
Before this picture was taken I was standing up and mom was doing a very good job taking pictures randomly and without warning, and she caught me making a very weird face. Twice. I guess I make that face often? Below are my faces from the previous two pictures.
Ella was having lots of fun knocking on the window.
No, that's not mallow on Lexi's nose. It's paint. That is, however, mallow around her mouth.
Aahh, Navajo Lake. So peaceful and serene! Next time: frog catching! | 2019-04-22T13:19:37Z | http://dailybowloflife.blogspot.com/2009/06/jeremiah-1616.html |
Was it a surprise to you that you were given the arts and culture position?
No, there is no surprise when you are a cadre of the ANC because you are deployed anywhere. You are given a five-year contract to do a portfolio and when you are finished, you wait for another one. At no stage do you have a say.
What qualities do you bring to the position?
People say to me you are a minister here but you can’t sing; how can you survive in the sector? It’s not about that.
If you attend some of the meetings of the ANC, you will see that I lead revolutionary songs. I know I can command a revolutionary song.
I will be working with stakeholders and cultural activists and we will be going on a journey together. We will bring our understanding and our connection with young people.
This is an area that is, by and large, filled with practitioners who are young, with hopes for the future and dreams.
What would be important would be to bring that strategic leadership to the sector, primarily to co-ordinate the endeavours that have been started by my predecessors.
What are the first things you will tackle?
On my first day I had a briefing on what has happened in the department and what we need to do. I immediately raised the issue that we are writing the true history of South Africa through the voices of its people, rather than through colonialists.
We need a single national monument where everybody who comes to South Africa will be able to understand our history. It has to be brand- new. No nation has come through what we have come through without that kind of recognition and national monument.
South Africa has a very rich history that needs to be taught properly. Things such as the Anglo-Boer War need to be taught fully, so that we would see that it was a South African war where everyone had a role. There is this strong feeling I have that it is important that we acknowledge all our history.
One thing we have to do is measure the contribution of arts to the big picture. Take for instance the yearly jazz festival in Cape Town. When people go there they talk about one aspect, which is tourism, but they forget that at the core it is arts and culture. They go there to connect spiritually with their needs. It is very important. I also want more people coming here to produce movies.
I see arts as helping a young democracy that is competing with old democracies. We are still finding our way. I want to see South Africans being given an opportunity to reflect on themselves on a yearly basis. Heritage is very important because this is where we are grooming our people to understand [our cultural history]. By identifying young people and giving them a chance to study, we are creating a reservoir for the future.
We must also find a way of promoting all our languages. Some of them are seen as being inferior, which is a mistake. We also have to develop our unofficial languages, such as that of the amaPondo. When we develop them we are saying: ‘We understand your culture, we know who you are and we want to see you prospering.’ It is a huge task.
I do not have a favourite because my point of view is that of an internationalist, where I listen to music from around Africa – Senegalese and Congolese music – and the world. I particularly enjoy jazz and soul. When I sit down to reflect and take stock I listen to jazz, and on a really bad day it is soul music. I like Richard Nwamba’s African Connection [programme on SAfm]because it brings that music from across the continent. It’s a pity that it is only once a week; I would like to have it during the week too.
We need to take better care of our artists. They entertain us and they become our celebrities, but in the end they die in very difficult circumstances. We need to improve their lives. They helped us to attain freedom and they are creating a new South Africa. Look at kwaito, which was an initiative of young people without anyone guiding them.
Do the arts get enough financial support?
I still have to see the fullness of the sector, but I would probably want arts to have more concentration in the sector. I am not sure it would only be financial. If you go to other countries, arts and culture are the things that unite people. They play a big role, like with sports and recreation.
I am excited because of the potential that I feel we can unearth here. This is a junior department to others, but what can be more senior than leading a nation to identify itself? A nation that does not understand its soul is not worthy to be called a nation.
Are there limits to freedom of expression? What about The Spear painting?
One area that we really fought for very hard is what is contained in the Bill of Rights: people have to express themselves. When you do that, you would be responsible and not express yourself to incite violence. When it comes to The Spear I can’t say it is up to the minister to say what people must express. Whatever we do as a nascent demo-cracy, we must respect others.
I’m taking my point of view from the values of ubuntu, with the caring and sharing of Africans.
But other people have their own views.
Are you going to any shows this weekend?
I am going to the office as we speak for consultations, and I will still be doing that this weekend. Obviously I will be going to any events that I can, because you can’t be something that you do not understand fully. It is one of the perks.
We have become a crass, materialistic society to the detriment of our most important needs – our spirits and our emotions. We cannot continue that way, because we are missing that sense of belonging. | 2019-04-25T11:57:36Z | https://mg.co.za/article/2014-05-29-nathi-mthethwa-on-patrol-for-the-nations-artistic-soul |

I love Google – they send me stacks of traffic and make sites like Booko reach a far greater audience than I could effect on my own. Recently, however, Google’s taken a bigger interest in Booko than usual. These kinds of numbers are no problem in general – the webserver and database are easily capable of handling the load.
When this request comes in, Booko will check to see how old the prices are – if they’re more than 24 hours old, Booko will attempt to update the prices. Booko used to load the prices into the browser via AJAX – so, as far as I can tell, Google wasn’t even seeing the prices. Further, Booko has a queuing system in place for requests to look up prices, so when Google requests pages, this adds a book to the queue of books to be looked up. Google views books faster than Booko can grab the prices, so we end up with 100’s of books scheduled for lookup, frustrating normal Booko users who see the problem as a page full of spinning wheels – wondering why Booko isn’t giving them prices. Meanwhile, the price grabbers are hammering through hundreds of requests from Google, in turn, hammering all the sites Booko indexes. So, what to do?
These commands will drop all Google traffic.
The next step was to go to sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and reduce the page crawl rate.
To make Booko more Google friendly, the first code change was to have book pages rendered immediately with the available pricing (provided it’s complete) and have updates to that pricing delivered via AJAX. Google now gets to see the entire page and should (hopefully) provide better indexing.
The second change was to create a second queue for price updates – the bulk queue. The price grabbers will first check for regular price update requests – meaning people will get their prices first. Requests by bulk users, such as Google, Yahoo & Bing, will be added to the bulk queue and looked up when there are no normal requests. In addition, I can restrict the number of price grabbers which will service the bulk queue.
This work has now opened up a new idea I’ve been thinking about – pre-emptively grab the prices of the previous day or week’s most popular titles. The idea would be to add these popular titles to the bulk queue during the quiet time between 03:00 and 06:00. That would mean that when people viewed the title later that day, they’d be fresh.
I’ve just pushed these changes into the Booko site and with some luck, Google & Co will be happier, Booko users will be happier and I should be able to build new features with this ground work laid. Nice for a Sunday evening’s work.
It is funny what you end up working on. Here you are thinking you will be producing great features and then these things come rumbling along at you. Good job getting the monster under control!
Totally! It’s it quickly went to the top of my list when Booko kept emailing me that it has 100’s of books to grab prices for!
I like the idea of your site.
Surely the easiest solution to your problem here is simply adding a robots.txt file telling google not to index /isbn/* ?
That would drop this problem immediately.
That surely would be the most expedient solution to the problem – however, as much of my traffic is coming from Google, from searches for book titles, I want Google to see the book titles. I could have also prevented a view from Google initiating a price grab, but the bulk queue idea means I could do overnight loads of popular titles. | 2019-04-25T08:17:11Z | https://blog.booko.com.au/2009/08/23/on-being-googled/ |
Are you trying to balance managing your wordpress along with everything else? Read this article to learn why you need a wordpress project management team.
If you’re an entrepreneur, it might be no news to you that you probably work 60% more than your employees do.
Since you have more at stake, you might try to have your eyes on every aspect of your business at the same time. Instead of trying to keep an eye on everyone in the office while managing your digital teams or projects, you should consider hiring a WordPress project management team.
Even if you’re digitally savvy, it takes a lot of time and attention to shift gears from working with a client to working on your WordPress site. During that time, you could be losing efficiency or even losing profits.
Rather than jump from project to project, you should think about hiring a team to manage your WordPress Project. Here are 3 reasons why you should toss the keys to a qualified WordPress project management team.
There are lots of milestones your project needs to hit in order to serve your current clients and pick up new ones. To hit that ideal launch date, you’ll need to have someone closely watching over your project.
Hiring a project management team will ensure that will be taken care of so that you can hit your target date while you don’t drop the ball anywhere else. Your developers might forget dates and your marketing team might be troubled by miscommunications while your developers’ attention is on the project.
Circumvent those issues with hired project managers. Outsourcing your services will allow you to focus on what matters.
As you work on a project, you might be in contact with a client who thinks of other important features that their product needs. In an effort to please the client, you and your developers will give the client a resounding “yes”. This can make clients happy until you miss the deadline and disappoint them.
By chasing every new feature, you’ll widen the scope of the project and push the release date back further and further.
Your project managers will try to account for each of these features and schedule them into a calendar of what is doable and what will have to wait. You’ll be able to be straightforward with clients and help them know what to expect by having project managers avoiding scope creep.
By adding all those extra features, you’ll be adding extra hours of work and an extended deadline. As projects take longer, clients are less inclined to pay more or buy any extra services.
Having a project management team keep an eye on your WordPress project, you’ll be able to make good estimates and keep everyone happy.
By managing all of your resources, project managers can save money for a company in the long run. They’ll know what’s doable, what will take too long, and help set expectations for developers and clients.
If you’re ready to get project managers on the task of your next WordPress project, contact us to find the right PMs for the job. | 2019-04-23T09:00:28Z | https://orangepixel.co.uk/website-design/3-reasons-need-wordpress-project-management/ |

Reg Rawlins, professional con, has really gotten herself into a bind this time.

It turns out he may still be alive, but in mortal peril. Reg has always taken the quick exit, the easy way out, but running out on this racket might mean someone else’s death.

This video isn’t exactly about an Audi, rather it’s more about car cleaning. However, it does feature an Audi A4 and we get to see it get a very satisfying wash in this new video from the Car Cleaning Guru.
In this video, the Guru’s neighbor has a B9-generation Audi A4 as a company car but even though it’s just a company car, it’s far too grimy looking for the Guru’s taste. So he does his neighbor a favor and gives the dirty A4 a proper clean.
I’m not sure about you but there’s something so satisfying to me about watching these sorts of videos. Watching the process of applying all of the products, letting them soak and seeing the grime simply melt away, then seeing everything get power-washed away and seeing the final clean product is almost therapeutic.
It doesn’t hurt that the car in this video is white, which looked really dirty and gross prior to the wash. Afterward, though, it was glistening and looked fantastic. Even just a simple diesel-powered Audi A4 in a pretty basic spec looked like something truly special after its thorough cleaning.
The products used are also really impressive and shows how far car-care products have come. Gone are the days when I was a young enthusiast of just getting a bucket of water, some soap and the garden hose. Now, there are so many awesome cleaning products that really melt away grime and make the car truly clean.
My only issue with cleaning cars this nicely is that I feel like they shouldn’t be driven afterwards. They look so sparkly clean, I don’t want to think about how dirty they’ll get after one drive in the rain and then all of that hard work is gone. Still, it’s mighty impressive and this video is very satisfying on this Thursday morning. | 2019-04-22T10:58:17Z | https://www.quattrodaily.com/video-watch-this-audi-a4-get-a-satisfying-clean/ |

Report Examines China’s Economic Challenges and Policy Implications for U.S.
The report states that while some economists forecast that China will overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy within a few years, China’s ability to maintain a rapidly growing economy in the long run will depend largely on the ability of its government to manage certain challenges.

The Azores is made up of nine islands and remain unspoiled, with volcanic craters from lakes, high cliffs, gentle valleys, lush vegetations, and mineral water springs. Some of the best vineyards can be found in Santa Maria, the first island to be discovered.Sao Miguel, the largest island is also the most beautiful with spectacular sights such as two lakes in an extinct crater, one deep blue and the other emerald green. Flores, named after its profusion of flowers, is the prettiest with flowers growing in the deep canyons and waterfalls of blue and green splashing down into the sea. Long beaches, fishing harbours, fabulous scenery along peaceful walks, hot springs and spas are some of the attractions for holidaymakers. | 2019-04-25T19:59:38Z | https://www.holidaynet.com/destinations/europe/portugal/azores |

The perils of doing business in China have come into focus again recently, with allegations that staff from the British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline paid $500 million in bribes over several years.
Four executives from GlaxoSmithKline were arrested in July, while its British-born head of China operations has been prevented from leaving the country.
There are now more than 40 Australians in Chinese jails – at least five of those are believed to have been jailed over commercial disputes.
The most high-profile case involved the former Rio Tinto employee Stern Hu, who was found guilty in 2010 of accepting bribes and stealing state secrets.
Earlier this year, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a briefing paper, warning the jailing of Australians was putting considerable strain on relations with China.
Sinogie Consulting managing director Bruce McLaughlin says many of the people who have fallen foul of the law in China have wrongly assumed that business is still done as it was 20 years ago – when connections would go a long way to getting deals done.
“If anybody comes to you and says ‘Oh I’m really well connected’, without saying ‘I’m really good at making stuff’, or whatever it is that you want, then they’re selling you something you don’t need,” he said.
Hayes Knight corporate advisor Paul Dubois says foreign firms operating in China need to play by the same rules as they would in their home countries.
“I think you’re just as likely to get burnt on a business deal here in Australia,” he said.
Mr McLaughlin says foreigners trying to do business in China often fail to do their due diligence – getting the right advice from lawyers and accountants, and doing background checks on the companies they plan to deal with.
“About a third of the companies that we look into don’t exist,” he said.
Despite those risks, China is still an attractive destination for Australian firms.
Compumedics, which makes diagnostic equipment for sleep disorders, has seen 30 per cent sales growth in China over the past year and is now outsourcing part of its manufacturing to China.
Compumedics chief executive Dr David Burton says it has taken a long time to build strong relationships.
“We’ve had to really find the companies and we’ve done that through the knowledge and integration in the region,” he said.
“We certainly haven’t been able to do that through finding opportunities off the internet.
Martin Cooper, managing director of Sota Tractors, imports hundreds of Chinese-made tractors each year.
He says there are many cultural differences that can make business in China difficult.
“One thing which we’ve found in Asia, particularly in China as well, is that they will say ‘yes’, yes they can do it, and not because they want to lie or not tell you the truth. They don’t like saying ‘no’ to you. They want to make you happy,” he said.
Sota director Bruce Cooper says a mistake that many foreign firms make is to not visit China regularly.
“I think it’s a big mistake. If you’re in it for the long haul then I think it’s very important to go over,” he said. | 2019-04-19T08:36:38Z | https://craighill.net/2013/07/31/australians-face-perils-by-doing-business-in-china/ |
This is awesome!! The Orange Islands was my favorite part of the anime when I was little. Please keep up the amazing work!
It will be changed, I just don't exactly have a .asm lying around for LaZ's music though, I probably won't be able to do that. I'm still deciding what I want to use.
EDIT2: Apparently he doesn't have the midi, the dude who made it for him also implemented it for him and afaik he is now inactive.
Ivy is purple in game now, had her blue temporarily until I could be bothered to change the pink palette.
Will be scripting houses for Valencia and Tangelo today, I need to create maps for the ports the two islands have as well. I'll probably end up devamping a boat from the gen 3 games since would be weird to have a huge SS Aqua in every port or something.
Pokedex still isn't finalized but Wingull line and the rest of the OI variations will be implemented.
Also going to see about adding a fourth fishing tier, tentatively I'll call it an Ultra Rod that will fish up level 50 or so rare Pokemon from the deep ocean. This will help bridge the gap until I decide whether or not I'm going to add Dive.
This is a little nitpicky of a question but how many pokemon will be in this?
More than 150 less than 255?
Happy to say Valencia is complete. Music, encounters, scripts, maps. Everything. Will be changing some tiles and overworlds later on but for now I am quite happy with it.
Next is polishing Tangelo scripts and working on the first dungeon, Tangelo Jungle.
Alpha is here! Game ends after the Lapras event, Route 50 is not scripted yet.
I should also inform Town Map crashes the game, so don't use it.
New PCs, Indigo and Orange.
All OI and Alolan variants added now, huge thanks to Bloodless for a good amount of sprites.
Also, Bike is being replaced with a skateboard item, you'll be able to get it as soon as Mikan Island, so walking won't be too bad hopefully until then.
Looking good man! Great choice of playable characters too.
If there's any pokes backsprites you still haven't got for the planned dex let me know in chat and I'll bump em up the list.
Oh yes! Forgot to mention I've disabled all sprite animations. Decided to stick with consistency, this also will give the ROM a bit more space to breath for new sprites.
EDIT: Hope is now the lab assistant, Faith can reset the time and day of the week (for flash carts), and Charity will now practice battle you as many times as you'd like for some extra cash and experience.
What do you mean by " also will give the ROM a bit more space to breath for new sprites. "?
More space because less is being used.
You plan on adding more demixes into the game? I really liked Tracey's battle theme in the Alpha and more of those would make this game better. Also, the new characters look great especially the male character.
Once mmmmm finishes Rangi's requests he's going to be doing some RSE music for me to use in Orange.
Oh ok. That's good. Rangi's near completion of his hack Polished Crystal anyway so yeah.
My friend asked me to release something before Beta 1 since he felt the alpha didn't really showcase what this was all about. I agree, so I've decided I'll be posting Alpha 2 once Mikan Island is finished.
Looks good! I'm curious about those new Kanto islands. But, are there no mountains in the Orange Archipelago?
I believe Navel and Kinnow have solitary mountains, not sure if anything else does.
So, not meaning to nitpick, but the signpost you were using didn't seem to me like it was fitting in as well with the other tiles, so I re-did the sign itself along the lines I figures you were going for. Thoughts Kuroko?
Yours is good too, but the symmetrical wood on either side looks more "sculpted" than "jagged". How's this?
Ah, I get it now. It was meant to look as if it was like "driftwood" they'd turned into a sign. It feels much more relaxed that way, nice improvement! | 2019-04-23T08:23:12Z | https://hax.iimarckus.org/topic/7014/4/ |
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (WPVI) -- The Chester County district attorney said Friday the report of sewing needles in Halloween candy earlier this week are "unfounded."
D.A. Tom Hogan said both children involved have now recanted their stories of tainted candy.
The first incident was reported at midnight Sunday, after a Kennett Square family reported finding sewing needles in five snack-size Twix candy bars.
Hogan said in that incident an 11-year old girl took several needles from her mother's sewing kit and hid them in the Twix bars.
She did it, Hogan said, after she was earlier shown a photograph of needles in a candy bar by an adult who was asking her to be safe while trick-or-treating.
She then told the made-up story to her parents, who reported it to police.
The second incident involved a 12-year-old boy who made up his story after hearing about the first incident. He put a needle in a Snickers bar and showed it to his sister, Hogan said, who reported it to police.
Hogan said that based on the ages of the children involved, the cooperation of their families, and other mitigating factors, no formal charges will be filed against the children. The children will be dealt with by their parents.
Both families apologized for the incident, understanding the serious impact it had on the community, Hogan said.
Also this week, investigators in Gloucester Township, New Jersey say a report there of needles in Halloween candy has been determined to be false. | 2019-04-20T11:04:21Z | https://6abc.com/news/da-girl-made-up-story-of-needles-in-candy;-boy-was-copycat/1071356/ |
