NEWS: MASSIVE WAGONS – New Album 'House Of Noise' Smashes UK Charts
The unstoppable Lancaster anthemic rock band did it a gain!!! Massive Wagons' highly anticipated brand new album House Of Noise was resleased on Friday 17th July, via Earache and today debuts at #9 in the UK national chart, #1 in both rock and indie charts and #3 in the vinyl chart!
Massive Wagons celebrated their success alongside the rock community with an innovative and heartwarming initiative in aid of mental health charity Mind. On Thursday the band ran a 26miles marathon and called on all their fans to support their endeavour and help sustain Mind. The result was increadible and the band was able to raise over 400% of their initial target!
House Of Noise is the follow up to the chart-busting Full Nelson, a UK Top 20 hit in 2018. This is the band's fifth studio album and easily their most accomplished work to date. House Of Noise brings together all of the infectious elements that have endeared Massive Wagons to fans of maximum force rock n' roll – a raucous rabble-rousing sense of community, straightforward from-the-heart lyrics, and an irresistible combination of pop melody and street-smart hooks.
The album contains 12 tracks that vary from the high octane opener In It Together, to the anthemic title track and the frankly ludicrous, but hilarious, The Curry Song, via the brooding menace of Hero and bittersweet lament of Sad, Sad Song. The entire experience overflows with personality and passion, and sounds like nothing else. Massive Wagons have definitely found their groove. House Of Noise is a prime example of the band's commitment to bring mental health in the forefront of the conversation. House Of Noise is Massive Wagons most accomplished record, and as such, each track presents many layers, telling a different story. The title track explores different sides of how we experience mental health; Sad, Sad Song describes the struggles with anxiety and panic attacks.

NILE RODGERS & CHIC SET FOR MASSIVE YORKSHIRE COAST SHOW
By Rhodes MediaOctober 5, 2020Rhodes Media Blogs
The legendary Nile Rodgers & CHIC are returning to the Yorkshire coast for a massive outdoor show at Scarborough Open Air Theatre.
The undisputed Kings of Disco will play the UK's largest purpose-built outdoor concert arena on Friday August 20.
Tickets go on general sale via www.scarboroughopenairtheatre.com at 9am on Friday October 9.
Nile Rodgers is a multiple Grammy Award-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist with more than 200 production credits to his name.
As the co-founder of CHIC, he pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits such as Le Freak, Good Times and Everybody Dance that sparked the advent of hip-hop.
Nile Rodgers & CHIC are no strangers to Scarborough Open Air Theatre having played a sell-out show at the venue in 2018. They were due to play in Scarborough this summer only for the show to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nile transcends all styles of music across every generation with a body of work that's gained him inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
His work with CHIC and his productions for artists such as David Bowie, Diana Ross and Madonna have sold more than 500 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide. His innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Avicii, Sigala, Disclosure and Sam Smith reflect the vanguard of contemporary music.
Nile Rodgers & CHIC's Scarborough OAT show is presented by Cuffe and Taylor. Promoter Peter Taylor said: "We were absolutely devastated to cancel this year's summer season at Scarborough OAT, including Nile Rodgers & CHIC's eagerly-awaited return here.
"Their show here in 2018 was just sensational – they never fail to get an entire arena on their feet dancing – and we've had so many fans asking us to bring them back.
"Therefore, we are delighted to announce Nile and CHIC will be returning to Scarborough OAT in 2021. They are global superstars, Nile is behind some of the best known songs ever written and this is going to be a night not to be missed."

Abstract: Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is more efficient than open surgery because the recovery and hospitalization time of MIS is considerably less than conventional surgical techniques. An active robotic needle is proposed for flexible needle insertion in MIS. The active needle is designed to improve flexibility and reachability of needle insertion. With the active needle, we hope to achieve the flexibility to reach otherwise inaccessible clinical targets. We have investigated the kinematics and dynamics of the active needle. Based on a flexible swim-wave travelling path, we developed a new path planning algorithm for the active needle. The needle insertion path could be modified in accordance with the needle-tissue interaction force. We determine the optimal needle insertion path using energy minimization method. This is based on the hypothesis that an optimal path will transfer the minimum energy to the surrounding tissue and hence, cause less tissue injury. Simulation based design methodology is used in this study. A computer aided design model of the active needle is developed using Solidworks. The sophistical active needle model is then exported to SimMechanics and Matlab for computer simulation of its interaction with the biological tissue during needle insertion. The active needle prototype has been fabricated for experimental investigation. The feasibility of the active needle prototype is demonstrated. The active needle is motorized with two actuators for forward and swim wave motions. The active needle comprises the main body and the closed-loop mechanism. The closed-loop mechanism is a driving system which produces swim-wave motion of the active needle. This mechanism enables the active needle to be sufficiently small for MIS. We have found that the active needle can be steered towards the predefined targets accurately. Although we have demonstrated theoretically and experimentally the feasibility of the active needle for flexible needle insertion,further study will be required to determine the clinical viability of the proposed active needle device.

Delicious placebos for cranky kids
Is trickery part of medicine?
"Just a
spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down in the most delightful way," they
sang in Mary Poppins. What if the
medicine were sugar only, without any medicine at all? An enterprising Maryland
mother, Jennifer Buettner, asked herself that after a wrangle with a young hypochondriac
niece. The result is a new healthcare product, Obecalp – "placebo" spelled
backwards. The chewable, cherry-flavored dextrose tablets look and taste comfortingly
like medicine, but they aren't. Bottles of 50 tablets will sell for US$5.95.
Cute?
Doctors and bioethicists aren't amused. They complain that placebos should be
used with care and that deception is not part of medicine. Furthermore,
children might grow up thinking that the only way to get over a bad patch is to
take pills. "The idea that we can use a placebo as a general treatment
method," says Howard Brody, a medical ethicist and family physician at the
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, "strikes me as inappropriate."
David Spiegel, of Stanford School of Medicine, believes that teaching children
to reach for relief in a pill could also make them easy targets for quacks and
pharmaceutical pitches later. "They used to sell candied cigarettes to
kids to get them used to the idea of playing with cigarettes," he said.
doctors' reaction makes sense in broad daylight. But at 2am, with a screaming
child in your arms, mightn't you think of reaching for a bottle of Obecalp?
That's what Ms Buettner is counting on. "This is designed to have the
texture and taste of actual medicine so it will trick kids into thinking that
they're taking something," Buettner said. "Then their brain takes
over, and they say, 'Oh, I feel better.'" ~ International Herald Tribune,

Just found this the other day too!
Thanks! Been too busy with doggy paws to spot this! YEA!
I get King email updates – but over in my ancient and much neglected Hotmail account – so I got in late myself.
Ah, he's using his own experience with utter ruthlessness again. That pedestrian-struck accident. You read in his terrific manula On Writing the whole rundown of his recovery, including the fixators in the shattered shin.
All writers ransack their own lives of course, without conscience or mercy, but he's especially good at it.
I think most of the Dark Tower books were written before he got hit. But you probably know how he described being traumatized at about four by seeing a kid hit by a train and knocked right out of his shoes (The Body, aka the film Stand By Me). In a way he spent his whole life waiting fearfully for that train to come back and get him, and eventually it did. The quality of his writing changed after that — it became less high-pressure and frenzied, though I think it lost a little as far as capturing your attention. It was as if a circuit closed when that van hit him..
Funny I was just thinking of Buick 8 last night — the way it reprised the riverside transition to another world that was one of the charged moments in The Talisman. I wonder if there's a story behind that too.


Combine ingredients in a large pot over low heat. Bring to barely a simmer and let it heat for about 20 minutes. If it boils, you will boil the alcohol out (so be careful unless you want alcohol-free wine!) Serve warm.


Over the course of our 11 year homeschooling journey, I have shown up as different moms.
I've been the mom I'm proud to be. The one who is fun, adventurous, creative and patient. I've been the one who does really cool things with her kids to foster learning. We've taped flashcards all over the house and yard to learn how to read, we've done school outside on the play centre, we've done project days with friends, and have gone on adventures. We've laid under a tree on a beautiful autumn day and watched the leaves fall.
Those are the things we see written on FB, right? Reading those fabulous posts gives us great ideas AND they give us fodder for comparison. Something to conjure up in our minds in those overwhelming, chaotic moments. It's not always a conscious comparison – it's just a feeling of not measuring up. Of "I'm failing at this" or "this just isn't for us".
I've also been the mom of which I'm not proud. The controlling, commanding, angry, exasperated, frustrated, and flat out tantruming mom. Slamming doors and crying all resulting in pain, pain, pain. Everyone retreating to their corners – me lying on my bed panting and recovering from totally losing my cool. I've been her. To some degree, we have all lost our cool and felt regret about how we've communicated with our children. You're not alone!
And I know I'm not alone because I've read your posts. I've been with you at the playground and homeschool field trips and heard you ask, "How do I deal with a difficult learner?" "How do I deal with a child who lies, disrespects, or outright defies me?!" Or how do I deal with the child who simply isn't interested and unmotivated? And I have the answer. You just might not like it – partly because it isn't a quick fix.
Go back to beginning and get in touch with those beautiful innocent children when they were born and when they were so little. They need help just like we need help. We have support groups. They need one, too, and we can be a part of it for them.
Putting ourselves down or holding onto guilt doesn't help. Forgiving ourselves and getting intimate with that part of us where we feel the need to have control leads to compassion and change. I can look inside and discover what happens when I believe that my child should do what I say no matter what. How do I treat my children when I operate from that space? And then, transversely, getting still so that I can reflect on how I might interact with them if I didn't hold onto the edict of, "my children should always obey". Could I let all of that go – those ordinary parenting lessons we've heard –in this moment with my child? Can I hear what my child is saying without the veil of "he is being disrespectful"? I notice when I drop all of that, I am curious rather than convicting. I'm able to be open rather than closed. And the more I'm able to do that, the more they demonstrate that they feel safe to talk to me and share what's going on inside. All of that takes listening. Being quiet and listening…to YOU.
No math, reading, history, or household chore lesson is AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CHILD. I'm not saying that the other is not important – not at all. Just that your connection with your children must be primary over those things. So that looks like instead of doing our usual commanding thing that we pause and find another way to communicate what we need. And to be willing, within reason, to negotiate. To foster an environment where our children feel a part of the team.
Marriage and parenting brings up a lot of things for us to grow through, and when you homeschool it's ten fold. Maybe even a hundred fold. The invitation, as I see it, is to take the opportunity to get close to you. Mother you through these confronting times. When you have that loving and nurturing presence for yourself, even when you're feeling stressed, you're more able to give that to your children.
Ultimately, my children will mother THEMselves. Just as I am mothering me. This is all we are all ever doing.
No math, reading, history, or household chore lesson is AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CHILD.

Here is a link to my old 400 which is now sold. https://www.lotusforsale.com/ads/2017-66-lotus-evora-400-22-manual/ You can see the HU in the pic. It was a tight fit but did clip all back together. From memory I didn't need to modify the camer connection, it was just an RCA type.
I do find it's hit and miss on this. Clearly unreasonable for a TDO to allow this but their enforcing of TD discipline remains inconsistent. i sympathise with Mathew - I have a similar story with the Fiesta crowd at Snetterton a couple of years ago.
Was it an Alpine head unit in the S1 Graham? If so then I'm fairly confident it would be plug and play. However, should it be for example a Pioneer then the harness would need to be 'spliced' as there are no ISO connectors.
Functionality of the Reversing camera and sensors remained exactly the same as with the original head unit. The only functionality you lose is a CD player.
Hi there I have done this in my 66 Evora 400, it's just plug and play. Same harness. Very good upgrade, you can plug your phone in and leave it in the glove box.
I had very similar on my 400. I have a consistent starting from cold issue, the engine needs some throttle to stabilise revs. I tried it at the weekend and didn't touch the throttle. It sounded terrible and through an engine light. I put my reader in and cleared the misfire codes. Started up with usual throttle feathering and normal service resumed. The car has been behaving like this since it's break in service. I'm currently arranging with Dave H111 to get the car looked at. I believe has had arranged a Lotus tech to come and have a look.
At least I think it was a 250, as I never got that close. I was a few cars back in my Evora on Colne Bank Avenue yesterday afternoon. Simply stunning!
My 400 struggles on startup when ambient temp less than 7 degrees. It takes around 20 seconds to settle, often almost stalls!
I think you are very local to me, I have a car trailer if you get stuck.
Poll: your favourite Evora 400 Colour?
Thats rather below the belt!
I'm sorry you feel that way old chap. I don't recall an incident as you suggest, but I would say that wouldn't I.
And for the record, I think Pork pricing is nuts. Anyways - this is a Lotus forum. My 4 year old thinks the 400 is a Lamborghini and insists on his mother sitting in the back with him upfront and I can't stop driving it at every opportunity. It's living up to its claim as a daily driver very well. Nothing quite like a healthy drive home in the evening after getting off the train, with the pipes open on the twisties.
I guess I'm pointing out that there is a big difference between a GT race car and a bogo 911. It seems you might also agree? as I have said, I think the 400 is a far more attractive package than a bogo 911. For the record, I don't have interest in the new Porsche GT cars. The 7RS was probably the last drivers car.
I may be getting confused between image and experience, but my 996 GT3 Clubsport was a more exciting, special, challenging adventure every time I got in it versus my 400. As stated earlier I think the 400 is not getting its deserved recognition. The whole point of it in my eyes, is that it truly is an alternative to a fairly bogo 911. When compared to this, the 400 is a more unique and exciting experience. it is however, not a Mezger screaming flat six (with Titatanium top end components) Clubsport with only power steering and ABS to help you along.
Just thought I would drop a note as I am going on the RMA day with some buddies and will be taking the 400. Very much looking forward to it.
So I have just clicked over 800 miles and other than H&T not used more than 50% throttle. Some high revs after 400 miles for short periods to seal those rings but not felt any real acceleration yet. So I have now tried Sport mode. Nice! The car feels far more alive, with better throttle response. My engine is clearly not loose yet so I have been a bit disappointed so far with throttle response, especially since I understood the FW to be fairly light. Sport mode is cool. I'm not sure if it's because I was just travelling that bit faster, but the dampening felt different. There are no active damper settings right? What a great chassis! Wahoo!
Thanks. I have a very understanding wife! I've always look wide eyed at the Esprit. A truly great silhouette.
I picked it up with it already on. The car came from Lotus Durham, I assumed this was factory. I'm rather fond of it!
Another Grey 400 here - I think it looks great with Red calipers, black pack, black forged wheels and Red racing stripe (this clearly makes it go faster!).
I can't stop driving the 400 - so here is a 'real' pic.
He he. she is a 2001 Porsche Turbo with a few mods. The timing chain snapped on her, so a thoughtful process of 'man maths' took over. The engine was rebuilt, with upgraded components (conrods, crank, injectors, hybrid turbos, higher torqued rods), KW suspension, LWFW, carbon buckets, half cage, switchable exhaust, 6 pot giro disc brake upgrade. I have done some of the work but none of the engine, power side. The '27' denotes the acceleration time to 186+ mph. She's probably running around 700 lb-ft and still in 4WD. She understeers on track, but I am rather a lazy driver! She is also my part time commuter car.


Chicago, IL - If you have ever attended a choral festival on this continent, you probably heard at least one of his compositions. If you have ever attended a Divine Liturgy responded to by a choir, you have probably heard one of his arrangements during the service. Even if you attended liturgy responded to by a single chanter, they probably sang a traditional church hymn notated by Stevan Stojanovic Mokranjac, one of the most significant composers in Serbian history.
The Serbian Singing Society Branko Radichevich and the Serbian Singing Federation will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Stevan Mokranjac this coming October 3rd through 5th and on the following Sunday, October 12th, 2014 in a three-part event entitled "Osu se nebo zvezdama/The Sky Was Filled with Stars." October 3rd and 4th will consist of a symposium and choral workshop centered on Mokranjac compositions of sacred and secular folk music. A concert will take place at 5pm on Sunday October 5th and will feature a presentation by Prof. Dr. Danica Petrovic, musicologist from Belgrade, an expert in the life and work of Stevan Mokranjac. On the following Sunday the 12th, there will be a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, followed by a Parastos (memorial service) in the composer's memory. The S.S.S. Branko Radichevich will host a commemorative banquet featuring a short performance by the choir during the program.
The choral workshop and symposium and concert will feature presentations by His Grace Bishop Irinej of Australia and New Zealand , Professor Dr. Danica Petrovic, Dr. Nikola Resanovich, Dr. Peter Jermihov, Rev. Dr. Vasilije Vranic, Elizabeth Neskow and Jelena Vranic. The Brankies are in intense rehearsals where they are polishing up Mokranjac music they already know, learning new folk compositions and liturgical hymns to prepare to sing all responses to the Liturgy and Opelo using Mokranjac arrangements only. A musically-centered Serbian event of this magnitude consisting of academic, musical and spiritual facets has never taken place on this continent until now. All events will be held at the Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Chicago.


CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gran Tierra Energy Inc. ("Gran Tierra" or the "Company") (NYSE American:GTE) (NYSE MKT:GTE) (TSX:GTE), a company focused on oil and gas exploration and production in Colombia, is pleased to provide today an operations update. All dollar amounts are in United States ("U.S.") dollars and all production, reserves and resources volumes are on a working interest before royalties ("WI") basis, unless otherwise stated.
Gary Guidry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gran Tierra, commented "We are very proud of the ongoing excellent results that our technical and operational teams have delivered over the last 18 months from the Acordionero field, which has exceeded our original expectations for production growth and profitability. Acordionero was Gran Tierra's growth engine throughout 2017 in terms of material production and reserves increases. Since acquiring Acordionero in August 2016, our teams have increased the field's production by 248% to almost 16,500 bopd as of January 2018. Since the acquisition and during an active capital program in which we have drilled and brought online 11 oil wells, two water injectors and one water source well, the Acordionero field has also generated free cash flow and we expect that to continue as we further develop the field.
With the ongoing ramp up of Acordionero, our average Colombia production increased to a record high of almost 34,500 BOEPD in fourth quarter 2017, which was 21% higher compared with first quarter 2017. We are very pleased that this 2017 production growth was organic and achieved through the drill bit. The all-time high production that we achieved in fourth quarter 2017 also represented growth of 53% from second quarter 2015.
Our A-Limestone play in the Putumayo Basin continues to deliver strong production results from the Vonu-1 well on the PUT-1 Block and the Costayaco field. We are confident that the A-Limestone may represent a significant basin-wide conventional carbonate oil resource play, as recognized by our independent qualified reserve evaluator McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. at 2017 year-end, who assigned Gran Tierra gross unrisked mean prospective resources in the A-Limestone of 822 million barrels of oil equivalent2. As expected with any new play, there are occasional challenges such as the Siriri-1 and CYC-30 wells and a learning curve which we are quickly navigating. The A-Limestone play is still in its infancy and is barely more than a year old. We remain very encouraged about the material prospectivity of the A-Limestone. We look forward to many more years of drilling in this exciting new play in the Putumayo Basin.
With our large prospective resource base throughout Colombia, we plan to drill 30 to 35 exploration wells over the next three years, which are all expected to be funded by cash from operating activities. This exploration campaign is designed to test the vast majority of our massive portfolio of total unrisked mean prospective resources of 1.462 billion barrels of oil equivalent2, including our dominant position in the Putumayo Basin oil play fairways of the A-Limestone, other carbonates and the N Sand.
Our strategy of focusing on capital efficiency and returns on invested capital is delivering results on many fronts in Colombia. With our self-funded, sustainable business model, we believe Gran Tierra is well-positioned for potential profitable growth throughout 2018 and beyond."
From fourth quarter 2015 through fourth quarter 2017, the Company's Colombia production has grown at a compound annual rate of 23% (see graph below). Gran Tierra's Colombia production averaged a record high of 34,477 BOEPD during fourth quarter 2017, which was 21% higher compared with 28,481 BOEPD in the first quarter of 2017 and 6% higher compared with 32,570 BOEPD in third quarter of 2017.
After acquiring the MMV assets in August 2016, Gran Tierra spud its first Acordionero development well as operator in October 2016 and has since drilled, completed and brought on production 11 oil wells, two water injection wells and one water source well. The AC-14i water injection well and the AC-18, AC-16 and AC-21 development oil wells were brought on stream during fourth quarter 2017. Following AC-21, drilling commenced from the new AC-6 pad at the end of December 2017 with the AC-20 development oil well. Completion operations for AC-20 commenced at the end of January 2018 and the well was brought online February 26, 2018. The second new well on this pad, AC-6, spud on February 9, 2018. Gran Tierra expects to drill a total of four development oil wells and one injector from the AC-6 pad by the end of the second quarter 2018.
AC-14i injection tests were successfully conducted in November 2017 in the Lisama A and C Sands. The AC-8i water injection well was stimulated in December 2017 to improve Lisama C Sand injectivity. Both wells have been injecting water continuously into the Lisama Sands since early December 2017.
Elsewhere in the MMV, Gran Tierra spud the Ayombero-1 exploration well on November 13, 2017, which is targeting the La Luna Formation conventional fractured carbonate oil play. This well was drilled within the Midas Norte Block (GTE 100% WI). Gran Tierra produces from the La Luna Formation at the Chuira field, west of the Ayombero location. Testing this play is designed to help Gran Tierra better understand the potential of the La Luna. After encouraging indications of oil presence while drilling and well log results in the La Luna Formation, casing was set and completion operations commenced in February 2018. Operations are ongoing and results are expected by the end of first quarter 2018.
Gran Tierra spud the Totumillo exploration well on January 28, 2018, within the Acordionero exploitation area, which is designed to target Lisama Sand reservoirs similar to Acordionero's but in a separate structural accumulation. Drilling operations are currently ongoing.
The Ayombero and Totumillo exploration wells may demonstrate additional diversified potential within the original acquisition of the MMV assets.
With the success of the A-Limestone in the Vonu-1 exploration well in the PUT-1 Block, Gran Tierra is currently evaluating options to drill new wells in the block starting later in 2018. As Vonu-1 also discovered oil in the U Sand and net oil pay in the N Sand, the Company's evaluation is designed to identify the best drilling locations to test the stacked multi-zone potential of the PUT-1 Block.
Gran Tierra is now in a position to generate all of its electricity needs using associated natural gas production for fuel in the Costayaco field and plans to be in a similar position for the Moqueta field early in second quarter 2018. The Company has a combined generation capability of over 9 megawatts ("MW") at Costayaco and plans to increase the existing 1 MW capability to 4 MW at Moqueta. These gas-to-power upgrades are designed to allow full independence from the national electricity grid and provide continuous reliable power supply to Gran Tierra's wells, injection pumps and facilities.
Nancy-1 well was successfully reactivated in the N Sand on January 6, 2018 using a jet pump. The well was last produced by the previous operator in June 2015. Between January 6 and February 19, 2018, the well produced 14,667 barrels of oil, for an average producing day rate of 402 bopd. Average water cut over the week to February 19, 2018 was 5.8%, and average GOR over the same week was 79 scf/bbl.
Gran Tierra has moved the rig from Nancy-1 to the currently shut-in Burdine-5 well to test the A-Limestone, which Company analysis indicates may be prospective across the block. Operations are currently ongoing.

Gran Tierra's Securities and Exchange Commission filings are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at http://www.sec.gov, and Gran Tierra's reports filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators are available on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com.
This press release contains opinions, forecasts, projections, guidance, plans and other statements about future events or results that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and financial outlook and forward looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company's future operations including planned operations, the exploration and development of the Company's blocks, areas and fields, the Company's expectations regarding certain plays, the Company's business model and the Company's plans, including completion and testing plans, objectives, expectations, evaluations and intentions regarding production, exploration and exploration upside and development, the Company's projected and forecasted growth and results, expected allocation of capital and drilling including trends, infrastructure schedules and the expected timing of certain projects.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Gran Tierra including, without limitation, that Gran Tierra will continue to conduct its operations in a manner consistent with its current expectations, the accuracy of testing and production results and seismic data, pricing and cost estimates (including with respect to commodity pricing and exchange rates), rig availability, the effects of drilling down-dip, the effects of waterflood and high pressure stimulation operations, the extent and effect of delivery disruptions, and the general continuance of current or, where applicable, assumed operational, regulatory and industry conditions including in areas of potential expansion, and the ability of Gran Tierra to access capital and other resources and to execute its current business and operational plans in the manner currently planned. Gran Tierra believes the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements in this press release are: Gran Tierra's operations are located in Colombia, and unexpected problems can arise due to guerrilla activity; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of the Company's products, including instability of electricity supply at our production facilities; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of the Company's products; the risk that current global economic and credit conditions may impact oil prices and oil consumption more than Gran Tierra currently predicts; the ability of Gran Tierra to execute its business plan and its drilling and development plan; the risk that unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for the Company's operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; the risk that oil prices could remain weak or further decline, or global economic and credit market conditions may impact oil prices and oil consumption more than Gran Tierra currently predicts, which could cause Gran Tierra to further modify its strategy and capital spending program; and the risk factors detailed from time to time in Gran Tierra's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, under the caption "Risk Factors" in Gran Tierra's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 27, 2018. These filings are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at http://www.sec.gov and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although the current guidance, capital spending program and long term strategy of Gran Tierra is based upon the current expectations of the management of Gran Tierra, should any one of a number of issues arise, Gran Tierra may find it necessary to alter its business strategy and/or capital spending program and there can be no assurance as at the date of this press release as to how those funds may be reallocated or strategy changed and how that would impact Gran Tierra's results of operations and financing position.
Statements relating to "resources" are also deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, including that the resources described can be profitably produced in the future.
The estimates of future production set forth in this press release may be considered to be future-oriented financial information or a financial outlook for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws. Financial outlook and future-oriented financial information contained in this press release about prospective financial performance, financial position or cash flows are based on assumptions about future events, including economic conditions and proposed courses of action, based on management's assessment of the relevant information currently available, and to become available in the future. In particular, this press release contains projected production and operational information for 2018. These projections contain forward-looking statements and are based on a number of material assumptions and factors set out above. Actual results may differ significantly from the projections presented herein. These projections may also be considered to contain future-oriented financial information or a financial outlook. The actual results of Gran Tierra's operations for any period could vary from the amounts set forth in these projections, and such variations may be material. See above for a discussion of the risks that could cause actual results to vary. The future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks contained in this press release have been approved by management as of the date of this press release. Readers are cautioned that any such financial outlook and future-oriented financial information contained herein should not be used for purposes other than those for which it is disclosed herein. The Company and its management believe that the prospective financial information has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management's knowledge and opinion, the Company's expected course of action. However, because this information is highly subjective, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.
Gran Tierra's Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information on Form 51-101F1 dated effective as at December 31, 2017 (the "GTE 51-101F1"), which includes disclosure of its oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101 forming the basis of this press release, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Estimates of net present value contained herein do not necessarily represent fair market value of resources. Estimates of resources and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same level of confidence as estimates of resources and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effect of aggregation.
BOEs have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") natural gas to 1 barrel of oil. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In addition, given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared with natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of six to one, utilizing a BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl would be misleading as an indication of value.
See the GTE 51-101F1 for additional definitions regarding terms used in this press release.
References to thickness of "oil pay" or of a formation where evidence of hydrocarbons has been encountered is not necessarily an indicator that hydrocarbons will be recoverable in commercial quantities or in any estimated volume. Well test results should be considered as preliminary and not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Well log interpretations indicating oil and gas accumulations are not necessarily indicative of future production or ultimate recovery. If it is indicated that a pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out, any data disclosed in that respect should be considered preliminary until such analysis has been completed.
Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures and risk factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the other reports and filings with the SEC, available from the Company's offices or website. These forms can also be obtained from the SEC via the internet at www.sec.gov.
Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Not all exploration projects will result in discoveries. The chance that an exploration project will result in the discovery of petroleum is referred to as the "chance of discovery." Thus, for an undiscovered accumulation the chance of commerciality is the product of two risk components-the chance of discovery and the chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources.
Estimates of the Company's prospective resources are based upon the GTE McDaniel Prospective Resources Report. The estimates of prospective resources provided in this press release are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated prospective resources will be recovered. Actual resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided in this in this press release and the differences may be material. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions applied by McDaniel in evaluating Gran Tierra's prospective resources will be attained and variances could be material. There is no uncertainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources.
Estimates of prospective resources are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and would require substantial capital spending over a significant number of years to implement recovery. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially. In addition, we have made no commitment to drill, and likely will not drill, all of the drilling locations that have been attributable to these quantities.
The prospective resources in this press release are classified as "mean" representing the arithmetic average of the expected recoverable volume. It is the most accurate single point representation of the volume distribution.
For a discussion of Gran Tierra's interest in the prospective resources, the location of the prospective resources, the product type reasonably expected, the risks and level of uncertainty associated with recovery of the resources, the significant positive and negative factors relevant to the estimate of the prospective resources, a description of the applicable projects maturity sub -categories and other relevant information regarding the prospective resources estimates, please see the GTE NI 51-101F1 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
In this press release, the Company uses the term prospective resources. The SEC guidelines strictly prohibit the Company from including prospective resources in filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures and risk factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the other reports and filings with the SEC, available from the Company's offices or website.

A security expert says a website created by credit monitoring company Equifax to help its customers find out if their personal information was stolen after a massive data breach raises its own security questions.
Georgia Weidman, the founder and chief technology officer for security firm Shevirah, says the website Equifax created looks like the kind of website set up by attackers to trick people into disclosing information.
Weidman says it's teaching people "entirely the wrong things about using the internet securely."
Weidman says she's troubled by Equifax's approach to security generally, including reports that it didn't respond to basic scripting bugs it was warned about last year.
The website is , https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/ . Equifax says consumers can also call 866-447-7559 for more information about the breach.
Washington regulators and politicians swiftly criticized Equifax over the exposure of 143 million Americans' personal information.
Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said he will call for Congressional hearings on the Equifax breach.
Equifax's requirement for affected customers to sign up for arbitration also drew a backlash. Democrats in the House and Senate called on the company to pull back on its requirement that anyone who signs up for credit monitoring give up their right to sue Equifax in a class-action lawsuit.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the nation's chief watchdog for financial services, called the breach "troubling" and said Equifax should drop the arbitration requirement. The CFPB recently passed a rule requiring financial companies to let customers sue together when a large group has been wronged.
There's no way around it: The news from credit reporting company Equifax that 143 million Americans had their information exposed is very serious.
The crucial pieces of personal information that criminals may need to commit identity theft — Social Security numbers, birthdates, address histories, legal names — were all obtained.
For consumers, it may be time to take even more extreme measures to lock down their information, outside of routine advice like checking your credit reports regularly and seeing if there are any abnormal transactions on your accounts.
The strongest possible option a person can take immediately is placing what's known as a credit freeze on their credit files with the major credit bureaus. That makes it impossible to open new accounts and bank cards — for thieves as well as yourself.
The company is one of three major U.S. credit bureaus, the declines extended to its competitors. TransUnion fell 4 percent and Experian stock declined 1 percent in London.
Credit monitoring company Equifax has been hit by a high-tech heist that exposed the Social Security numbers and other sensitive information about 143 million Americans.
Now the unwitting victims have to worry about the threat of having their identities stolen.
The theft obtained consumers' names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some cases, driver's license numbers. The purloined data can be enough for crooks to hijack the identities of people whose credentials were stolen.
Equifax discovered the hack July 29, but waited until Thursday to warn consumers. The Atlanta-based company declined to comment beyond its published statement.

I love that these towels DON'T have tags on them. They feel quality and should do MUCH better than many of the lower priced microfiber towels on the market. The price does not mean these are CHEAP at all - not the junk you find at Harbor Freight or the auto parts store.
I look forward to seeing how long they last after many details and washes.
We loves these microfiber rags. Great size, great stitching, and stays true to color for a good while. We use these in a commercial cleaning application in our hotel and are very pleased with how they perform. We've tried a lot of microfiber and these are our favorites as of right now. You won't be disappointed!
These are the greatest, the best size and absorption of any I've tried. They wash and dry like a dream, don't collect lint all over the dryer and keep their vibrant color wash after wash!
I use these for everything and wash them daily. I've been using a set for a year and just for more and can hardly tell the new apart from the old.
Wish they would put these on subscribe & save. I love these. I own a janitorial company and these are a definite upgrade from most of the mismatched towels and rags out there. Makes our service look much more professional. They are all I will buy now, except for red towels which we only use in bathrooms. They hold up very well in commercial use.
Joined a new gym that had scratchy whit towels, so bought these and take them to the gym with us. A dozen is perfect, because we use them all week, and wash one load at the end of the week. Super absorbent and soft. Bought grey- easy to spot but not too bright!
I mainly use these particular towels for doing dishes or cleaning throughout the house. True- they are not exactly the best or most plush but they are more than a good enough towel to get the job done.
Love these towels. Use them everywhere. Dishes to easing and drying the car. Love them.

IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP IN INDIA-
"Except one other article in the draft constitution, I do not think that any other article has given the drafting committee such a headache as this particular article. I do not know how many drafts were prepared and how many were destroyed as being inadequate to cover all the cases which it was thought necessary and desirable to cover."
-Dr. B.R Ambedkar
Although human migration has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, immigration in the modern sense refers to movement of people from one nation-state to another, where they are not citizens. Immigration implies long-term permanent residence by the immigrants.[1] In India, during the partition, there were movement of many non-citizens and citizens of India; it was very difficult to demarcate the citizens of the country. The need of Immigration and citizenship laws was emerged. The objective of the Immigration is to gain nationality and citizenship of other country. Laws related to immigration and citizenship is governed by The Constitution of India under Part II, certain rights of the citizenship and migrants are also given under the same part. Article 5 states that at the commencement of this Constitution, every person who was born in the territory of India or either of whose parents are born within the territory of India or who has been ordinarily resident in the territory of India for not less than five years immediately preceding such commencement and who has his domicile in the territory of India, shall be a citizen of India.[2]
THE CITIZENSHIP ACT, 1955-
The Act provides for acquisition of Indian Citizenship after the commencement of the Constitution. It has necessary provisions for the termination or deprivation of citizenship in certain circumstances. Only a natural person can be a citizen. The act provides the ways to acquire Indian citizenship i.e by birth or by registration or by descent or by naturalization. Section 3 of the said act provides for citizenship by birth. Section 5 deals with citizens by registration. The following can register under the said section i.e. persons of Indian origin who are ordinarily resident outside undivided India or women married to Indian citizens or minor children of Indian Citizens, provided that the registration certificate given under section 5 of the said act cannot be cancelled[3]. Section 7 provides for citizenship by naturalization.
In case of Ghural Hasan v. State of Rajasthan[4], it was held that the citizenship obtained by means of fraud, false representation or concealment of any material fact can be result in the cancellation of the citizenship under section 10 of the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955. In relation to the foreigners, the government is vested with unlimited powers to expel any foreigner from the country without assigning any reason[5]. Right to reside and settle in India conferred under Article 19(1)(d) is only available to the citizens of India.[6]
THE CITIZENSHIP (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2016-
The Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016 seeks to allow illegal migrants belonging to the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian religious communities coming from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan to not be imprisoned or deported. Also, the aggregate period of residence or service of a Government in India as required under this clause shall be read as "not less than six years" in place of "not less than eleven years. Furthermore the provision is to be added to cancel the registration of the Overseas Citizen of India cardholders in case of violation of the provisions of the Act or any other law for the time being in force. Since the act makes provisions only for six communities from three countries and excludes Muslims, Jews, Atheists and others; and thus raises a question if it would violate the Article 14 (right to equality and discrimination on the basis of religion). Civil society groups held a protest rally in New Delhi on Thursday opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, terming it "communally motivated humanitarianism."[7] There were also protests in Assam because of the proposed amendment act which is contradictory to the Assam Accord which was also added under the Citizenship Act by the amendment of 1985 under section 6A of the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955.[8]
Earlier, there have been a number of amendments in the Citizenship Act, 1955; if the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2016 comes into force then it will be the 6th Amendment. With such enactment, it can result in communal violence as Muslims who migrated to Assam from East Bengal a century ago would continue to be harassed as illegal migrants from Bangladesh and the Hindu who migrated to Assam will become citizens, this will result in inequality which may motivate violence amongst communities.
India is a secular state which doesn't discriminate between religious denominations. A rational and sophisticated citizenship programme for refugees needs to be egalitarian and operate on a case-by-case basis. A policy that favors specific religious denominations reeks of the discredited two-nation theory.

*Energy usage in some homes may vary widely from these averages.
appliances such as a waterbed, hot tub, or pre-1990 refrigerator use significant amounts of electricity. However, recent trends in home entertainment equipment can make a large difference in household energy use. For instance a 50" LCD television (average on-time= 6 hours a day) may draw 300 Watts less than a similarly sized plasma system. In most residences no single appliance dominates, and any conservation efforts must be directed to numerous areas in order to achieve substantial energy savings. However, Ground and Water Source Heat Pump systems are the more energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning systems available (Environmental Protection Agency), and can achieve reductions in energy consumptions of up to 69%.
Standby power used by consumer electronics and appliances while they are turned off accounts for an estimated 5 to 10% of household electricity consumption, adding an estimated $3 billion to annual energy costs in the USA.
"In the average home, 75% of the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off."
The efficiency of furnaces and air conditioners has increased steadily since the energy crises of the 1970s.
The 1987 National Appliance Energy Conservation Act authorized the Department of Energy to set minimum efficiency standards for space conditioning equipment and other appliances each year, based on what is "technologically feasible and economically justified". Beyond these minimum standards, the Environmental Protection Agency awards the Energy Star designation to appliances that exceed industry efficiency averages by an EPA-specified percentage. Despite technological improvements, many American lifestyle changes have put higher demands on heating and cooling resources. The average size of homes built in the United States has increased significantly, from 1,500 sq ft (140 m) in 1970 to 2,300 sq ft (210 m) in 2005. The single-person household has become more common, as has central air conditioning: 23% of households had central air conditioning in 1978, that figure rose to 55% by 2001. As furnace efficiency gets higher, there is limited room for improvement--efficiencies above 85% are now common. However, improving the building envelope through better or more insulation, advanced windows, etc., can allow larger improvements. The passive house approach produces superinsulated buildings that approach zero net energy consumption. Improving the building envelope can also be cheaper than replacing a furnace or air conditioner. Even lower cost improvements include weatherization, which is frequently subsidized by utilities or state/federal tax credits, as are programmable thermostats. Consumers have also been urged to adopt a wider indoor temperature range (e.g. 65 F (18 C) in the winter, 80 F (27 C) in the summer). One underutilized, but potentially very powerful means to reduce household energy consumption is to provide real-time feedback to homeowners so they can effectively alter their energy using behavior. Recently, low cost energy feedback displays, such as The Energy Detective or wattson, have become available. A study of a similar device deployed in 500 Ontario homes by Hydro One showed an average 6.5% drop in total electricity use when compared with a similarly sized control group. ---TAKEN FROM POWERSET!

Honesty: because our mission is to be author-friendly, that means always giving honest advice about the ins and outs of the authorial life. We are dedicated to sticking by one of our founding precepts: "if I were the author, what would I want to know?"

Kindness: as an author-friendly press, we take the word "friendly" seriously. A good publisher shouldn't be just a business partner, but should be full of people you'd want to invite to dinner. Whether it be making a good joke or allaying your worries about being an author, kindness is our hallmark.
Making Your Book Awesome: we really can't settle for anything less. We want our authors and their readers to be blown away when they first hold that book in their hands. It needs to look good inside and out, and feel good to the touch. And, of course, the words need to be top-notch, and our editors are devoted to making that the case.

Today we're going to talk about one of our favorite new wedding trends – chalkboards. Once only used for country weddings, today you can see chalkboards cropping up in all kinds of weddings. From the vintage to the modern, reusable chalkboards are replacing paper and cardboard signage on welcome signs, drink and dessert displays, even table number & place settings.
I love signature drinks in weddings. A southern wedding needs its sweet tea just like a winter wedding needs hot chocolate. Brides & grooms are highlighting these special drinks with many kinds of chalkboards. I've seen amazing chalkboards detailing each signature drink that just made me swoon. Another popular idea is to give each guest their own drinking glass for the night. Usually these are mason jars, but I've seen martini glasses and pilsners used in the same way. You can let your guests know about this with a chalkboard sign explaining the process.
Brides and grooms are getting very inventive with their guest book ideas. These ideas are usually sustainable which is awesome. They are intended to be useful and remind the couple consistently of their guests. Wedding couples are asking guests to autograph river rocks which will go in their first flower bed, mantle logs that would go above the fireplace in their first house, or quilt squares to make a warm quilt for the wedding couple.
I love chalkboard signs for guest tables. Add one of our chalkboard signs to three or four similar items (books, pictures, board games from your youth) and you've got yourself a simple yet elegant tabletop.
Identifying each table is important and whether you are numbering your tables or naming them after your favorite authors, Ecopartytime's chalkboard signs will elevate the tabletop to that next level.
