I could see Mickey & Minnie's runaway railroad coming to Toontown in the next wave of expansion for DLR after Star Wars is a few years old.
Poor Toontown... It has its 25th birthday and nobody bats an eye.
Also, World of Color will not be opening with Pixar Pier. It's going to be a good few months before the show opens again.

It is currently on the entertainment schedule for June 23, the opening day of Pixar Pier.
was one of the most original dark rides Disney ever came up with. For it's time.
Platform 2 broke the other day and they lost all power, dimmers, and half of the structure. Barring a true Disney miracle, it's not opening in three weeks.
I agree. They need to breath some life into that area.
Is there an On-Ride Photo camera to be installed on The Incredicoaster ? And where would it be, perhaps?
I don't remember if there was one for California Screamin' or not (it's been a couple of years), so any help will be appreciated, thanks.
California Screamin's / Incredicoaster's camera is near the end of the layout, inside the lower spiral. I'm not familiar with whether or not it's being changed as part of the renovation, but I would assume that it won't be.

THE HEART OF FORT LANGLEY
The Foundation has three development applications under active development and/or already applied for with the Township of Langley.
With these developments it is the Foundation's primary goal to retain the small-town character of Fort Langley. The Foundation wants to construct new buildings for expanded business opportunties, economic development and retaining Fort Langley's historic and distinctive character, all for charitable purposes.
The Foundation stands by its commitment to ensure that as many of the businesses here in Fort Langley are operated by as many small business owners residing within Fort Langley or Langley as possible.
First and foremost, the Foundation wants to help create a thriving, walkable community, designed for people, not cars. Walk through the village to make your daily rounds. Enjoy an evening stroll, greeting neighbouring families and their pets, and to have as many of our vehicles underground as possible out of sight.
The Foundation prioritizes environmental stewardship and responsibility, doing our part, following in the tradition of the LEED Gold Coulter Berry Building completed in 2016, a model for our future, our children, ourselves, and other communities.
The Foundation prioritizes supporting individual small-business owners in-lieu of chain stores for unique destinations that will ensure Fort Langley truly remains somewhere different.
INTERIM GREEN SPACES FOR PUBLIC USE
In the Spring of 2020, the Foundation finally secured approval from Langley Township Council to remove four derelict buildings that were becoming a permanent blight on the Fort Langley streetscape.
Over the summer, the Foundation began and has now substantially completed the process to restore this area to an open green space and play area for public use until redevelopment becomes possible, if it does.
When completed, this restoration will include additional material and top soil to level the site, all new turf, expanded play areas, 10 picnic tables, ping pong, public art, site fencing, and wide open spaces for a wide variety of possible uses.
With approval secured this past summer, the Foundation has now also applied to remove the last remaining derelict building on the Glover Mary Church site. This is expected to be completed by early 2021.
GLOVER MARY CHURCH
The Foundation is in the process of completing a substantial revision of its previous application for Glover Mary Church proposal with slightly lower building heights, a setback 3rd floor at the corner of Glover Road and Mary Avenue, improved retail and expanded outdoor flex spaces. The Foundation currently expects this revision to be ready for submission to the Township of Langley later in 2020, or early 2021.
COOL SMALL BUILDING
The Foundation is also revising the previous proposal of a small development for 9180 Glover Road, warmly known as the Cool Small Building. It will remain a no variance two story application with one retail unit with one residence above. The proposal is being revised for new architectural character and overall appearance. The Foundation currently expects this revision to be ready for submission to the Township of Langley later in 2020, or early 2021.
GLOVER ROAD NORTH INTERIM DEVELOPMENT
The Foundation has now applied for a single-story no variance development on the west side of Glover Road at 9213 and 9217 Glover Road. The Foundation has proposed that it be developed into a destination restaurant preserving and designed around Wallace Walnut, the 75 year-old Walnut tree that has become a prominent fixture of the Fort Langley streetscape.
Submitting this application should also serve to satisfy Council's condition for a development application prior to allowing the removal of the two permanently derelict buildings on this development site. It is also being designed such that it can be incorporated into a more complete development application for the entirety of Glover Road West sometime in the future.

The attributable net profit of Spanish cement producer Cementos Portland Valderrivas for the nine months through September 2010 crashed by 87.8% on the year to EUR 4.3m (US$5.9m), the company told the national stock market regulator CNMV today.
Revenue came in at EUR681.5m, losing 14.9% on the year. The worsened performance was chiefly due to the weak cement consumption, slow recovery of the sector and reduced public work orders in Spain.
EBITDA came in at EUR159.4m, an annual plunge of 30% for January-September, while the earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) slumped by 44.7% to EUR59.1m.
Net debt came in at EUR1.407bn at the end of September 2010, down by EUR49m compared with end-June.

Major importer makes life even more difficult for US coal exporters.
If you follow Northwest coal export issues, you've probably heard that China's demand for coal is sinking fast. Overall coal consumption in China fell a whopping 8 percent the first four months of 2015—an astonishing decline for an economy that's growing as quickly as China's. But imports really took it on the chin, with China's customs department reporting that the country's ports handled 38 percent less coal from January through May than in the same months of the prior year. China's import decline has kept Pacific Rim coal prices in the doldrums, and completely deflated market expectations for ready profits from the international coal trade.
But what's less well known is that China isn't the only country that's posing a challenge to coal exports. South Korea, which is the destination for much of the US coal shipped across the Pacific, is seeing many of the same trends.
According to the IHS McCloskey Coal Report, demand from Korean coal-fired power plants was slacker than expected over the winter and spring months. Even more troubling for would-be coal exporters, South Korean power companies recently axed plans for four new coal plants, and delayed several more. Industry analysts suspect that additional delays may be in the offing. Meanwhile, the country recently unveiled an energy plan that would reduce coal's share in the nation's energy mix from 37 percent, where it is today, down to 27 percent by 2029.
By all appearances, South Korea has been very intentional in creating policies that tilt against coal. Just a year ago, the country put a coal imports tax into place. Now, it's announced plans to boost the tax by 30 percent, starting on July 1. That tax, coupled with a glut in international coal markets, will likely encourage Korean power companies to be even choosier about what coal they buy. And as it happens, the structure of the South Korean coal tax favors higher-energy coal, which puts the big coal mines in the southern Powder River at a disadvantage in the Pacific Rim coal trade.
What's funny—or perhaps sad—about all of this is that the coal industry in Wyoming is still putting on a brave face, and hoping (or perhaps pretending) that a rebound in Asian coal markets is just around the corner. Wyoming state officials recently organized a dog-and-pony show in the Pacific Northwest, touting the bright prospects for Wyoming coal exports to Asia.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, independent coal market analysts are growing increasingly gloomy about the prospects for coal exports off the west coast. And there's no doubt that the recent news from South Korea gives them even more reason for skepticism about the US coal industry's export prospects.
Previous article in series: « An Explainer: Coal Mine Cleanup and "Self-Bonds"


In March 2012 Abdoulaye Wade was defeated by Macky Sall in the hotly contested presidential elections in Senegal. This article uses the concept of party-voter linkage to examine how and why Wade and his party, the Parti Démocratique Sénégalais (PDS), lost touch with the electorate. It is argued that this failure must be viewed within the context of a complex process of social change that challenged traditional, often clientelistic, forms of linkage. As an alternative strategy, the PDS emphasised the personal charisma of its leader. Charismatic linkage, however, is naturally unstable, and the PDS began to lose public support. These findings suggest that political parties in Senegal cannot build their strategies on clientelism and charisma alone, they will have to begin to compete over issues and develop programmatic visions. If this challenge is not taken up, the long-term prospects for democratic representation and effective linkage are uncertain.

Accueil Normandy Tourism
How to plan your holidays in Calvados
We thought we'd bundle up everything you need to know about our département – whether it's your first, second, third or umpteenth time exploring Normandy Tourism. Here's the who, why, where, what and how of your best-ever short break or holiday in France:
Where is Normandy? – A look at the map of Normandy
Mainland France is made up of 12 regions, and Normandy is one of them – just over the Channel from the south coast of England in fact.
So, if you look at France as a hexagon (did you know that 'L'Hexagone' is its nickname?), Normandy is wedged halfway between the uppermost peak (Calais) and the hexagon's next anticlockwise point (Brest).
Normandy is lucky enough to have some of France's best beaches and countryside and the main cities in Normandy are Rouen and Caen (a perfect French city break, for the record!).
So where exactly is 'Calvados' in Normandy?
Easy. There are five 'départements' in the region of Normandy – it might help to think of 'départements' as counties or states. They're called Manche, Orne, Eure, Seine Maritime… and the best one (though we might be biased) … CALVADOS.
A 75-mile stretch of stunning coastline sweeps across Calvados from Isigny-sur-Mer in the west to Honfleur in the east, and the south of the département is framed – roughly speaking – by the beautiful inland towns of Vire, Falaise and Livarot. The city of Caen is more or less in the centre of Calvados.
Who should think about taking their holidays in Normandy?
That's easy too: the answer is anyone who likes multi-faceted holidays (relax and unwind, but also return home having discovered something new too), and anyone who wants to do their bit for the planet by avoiding flights and endless drives – Normandy is right on the UK's doorstep, mes amis!!
Normandy Tourism ticks the family holidays in France box
… because the holiday starts on the ferry for kids, right? Also, because there's nothing more eye-opening for kids than all the giddy sights, sounds and smells of another country over the sea. The chance to practise a little 'je voudrais' and the scope for show-and-tell back home is endless!
Normandy Tourism ticks the group travel box
For people travelling in big groups, be that clubs, associations or herds of friends or family, the savvy know to sit back and let a driver do the hard work! Charter a coach from your hometown to explore Normandy Tourism's most famous sites – the camaraderie makes for an unforgettable holiday!
Normandy Tourism ticks the multigenerational holidays in France box
Holidays for grandparents + the grandchildren + the everyone in between are on trend, and with generation-spanning history, crowd-pleasing food, tons of inclusive and accessible activities and everything within spitting distance on the other side of the Channel, Calvados fits the bill for multigen holiday to perfection.
Normandy Tourism ticks the couples' holidays in France box
The Calvados département boasts spas, cosy restaurants, walking routes, art, culture, cookery courses and all manner of new experiences tailored for two.
What's the best time of year to enjoy tourism in Normandy? – A look at the weather
Not surprisingly (given its proximity), the climate in Normandy is similar to the climate in the south of the UK. May to September are generally the warmest months with temperatures climbing to around 24 degrees in July and August. They may not reach the heights of the balmy Côte d'Azur, but nature's own air-con offers the perfect balance for a holiday alternating beach days with sightseeing days.
OK, I'm convinced. How do I get to Normandy?
Travel from Portsmouth to Caen with Brittany Ferries (This is the most direct route to Calvados! Caen city centre is an onward journey of 9 miles)
Travel from Poole to Cherbourg with Brittany Ferries (Caen is an onward journey of 76 miles)
Travel from Portsmouth to St Malo with Brittany Ferries (Caen is an onward journey of 107 miles)
Travel from Dover to Calais with DFDS Ferries or P&O Ferries (Caen is an onward journey of 210 miles)
Travel from Folkestone to Calais with Eurotunnel (Caen is an onward journey of 210 miles)
For those travelling into Paris, you can reach Caen in around 2 to 3 hours by train or car.
When I'm out and about in Normandy, what are the transport options?
Train services: There are around 20 train departures per day between Paris and Caen. There are also train stations in the Calvados towns of Bayeux, Vire, Lisieux, Mézidon-Canon, Trouville-Deauville, Pont l'Evêque and Dives-Cabourg.
Cycling: Safe and quiet cycling routes in Normandy – both on and off-road, criss-cross the region. There's a wide choice of <routes> and facilities including the new 'Vélomaritime' route that skirts the coast all the way from Dunkirk in the north of France to Roscoff in the west of France.
By Car: As Calvados is just the other side of the Channel, there's refreshingly very little driving to do! And low miles means low carbon! You'll find a complete guide to driving in France here.
What are the main tourist attractions in Normandy?
Some of Normandy's most famous things to see are right here in Calvados:
Chip away at the bucket list by heading off to the world famous and Unesco-listed Bayeux Tapestry Seeing a 70-metre-long, 1,000 year old embroidery is the most captivating way to explore history and brush up on your William the Conqueror facts and Battle of Hastings facts! Bayeux is only a 30-minute-drive from the ferry port at Ouistreham.
The Calvados coast is also home to the famous D-Day Beaches. Codenamed Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach, the D-Day Beaches are where Allied soldiers landed in a surprise attack on German forces in WW2. The Memorial Museum in Caen is the flagship beach to find out the whole story.
But the D-Day beaches are not the only famous beaches in Normandy. Deauville and Trouville – twin towns on the eastern end of our coastline – is where the glamour is. Think International Film Festival, signature beach brollies, Belle Epoque villas, casinos, spas, fancy schmancy hotels, seafood restaurants and famous boardwalk and you're on the right lines. This is the weekending Parisians' scene! Not far away, the impossibly pretty harbour of Honfleur captivates everyone who sees it, just as it did the Impressionists.
Of course, there are many more things to highlight as you explore Normandy Tourism, from chomping your way through our foodie specialities like cheese, calvados and cider, heading off the beaten track deep in rural Calvados, going to a traditional French market, to getting active in the great outdoors. The beauty of Calvados is that everyone's itinerary will be entirely different.
Special places to stay in Normandy – where to sleep in Calvados
Wherever floats your boat, you'll find your perfect four walls right here in Calvados.
Holiday rentals in Normandy
Calvados is chock-full of inviting self-catering options, from cosy rural gites to beach apartments or sumptuous chateaux. Holiday rentals are also known as a 'locations de vacances' in France.
Chambres d'hôte in Normandy
This is the French equivalent of a B&B (top searching tip: boutique ones are sometimes known as Maisons d'Hôtes and if you're after somewhere that throws an evening meal in too, search up Table d'Hôte).
Hotels in Normandy
You're spoilt for choice with hotels in Calvados from the small, independent, quirky and family-run to the big, well-known chain brands in the hotel industry.
Campsites in Normandy
We've the whole gamut – from places to simply pitch a tent to big family campsites with mobile homes and pools – is here in Normandy. If you're after something quirky or extra-memorable, there are also many glamping options (in France we call this category 'Insolite' which means 'out-of-the-ordinary') which could include treehouses, gypsy caravans, boats, huts or even 'Aquagîtes'.

FVFD respond to early-morning call in Freeman
The Freeman Volunteer Fire Department responded to a call at the Derald and Peggy Waltner home at the corner of Second and Wipf streets shortly before 6:15 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, after the home owners reported smelling smoke.
There was no visible smoke — or flames — when firefighters arrived.
Freeman Fire Chief Cody Fransen said no outlets were hot, but firefighters discovered three breakers had been tripped. The cause of the odor, Fransen said, was an organ in the entry of the house that had overheated and was smoldering inside. He said there was no visible damage to the organ.
Note: The fire siren that sounded Thursday morning was not the old familiar distinct high-low alternating alarm but rather a slower sustained up-and-down wail. The city is now using the two new severe weather warning sirens – the one installed at Freeman City Hall several years ago and the one near the Freeman Public School campus installed this summer for both fire and severe weather alarms said Fransen. The old fire siren has been retired. When the sirens are used to alert resident of severe weather, instead of the up-and-down wail, the sound will continue to be the familiar steady blast as the sirens rotate.

WHY DO WE NEED TO CONTROL MOSQUITOES?
There are really only two reasons to control mosquitoes; to avoid nuisance biting, and to preclude the spread of mosquito-borne disease. Everyone recognizes that mosquitoes can be a real nuisance, but most people do not realize the magnitude of the health threat that they represent. Some of the world's most dreaded diseases are known to be carried and transmitted by mosquitoes. Many countries around the world are ravaged yearly by malaria, yellow fever, and dengue-hemorrhagic fever. In the United States, encephalitis and dog heartworm are the primary mosquito-borne diseases, but dengue has recently crossed the Mexican border into Texas and is now seen as a serious public health threat.
Mosquito-borne encephalitis in the U. S. is prevalent in several forms and is geographically wide-spread. In Colorado, the Western Equine and St. Louis viral strains were the most common before the invasion of West Nile Virus in 2002. West Nile Virus entered the US along the east cost in 1999 and has had serious implications for the rest of North America. (Please see our West Nile Virus Page for more detailed information). Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain and central nervous system, and is characterized by a high to moderate mortality rate, with some survivors left with permanent physical and mental disabilities.
A growing threat to Colorado pet owners is dog heartworm. A parasite transmitted by the mosquito becomes lodged in the heart and lungs, and if left untreated, severe physical damage and death may occur. Beyond viral and parasitic diseases, other health problems caused by mosquitoes include allergy and infection. In some cases, the chemicals within the mosquitoes saliva are injected into its blood-meal victim, causing serious allergic reactions.
Health concerns are certainly not the only reason to control mosquitoes. If you've ever been driven inside by mosquitoes during a backyard picnic, or had to cancel an important outdoor event because of mosquito annoyance, or have chased one pesky invader around the bedroom in the middle of the night, you know the value of effective mosquito control. Mosquitoes can be annoying enough to make an area uninhabitable or unsuitable for recreational or industrial development. Economic losses can also be considerable in resort areas and at local tourist attractions.
Educating the public about mosquitoes and how to control them is the first place to start when trying to reduce mosquito populations. In many cases, residents, once they know where to look can identify and eliminate potential mosquito breeding habitat around their homes and neighborhood.
As with most things in life, benefits do not usually come without some associated risks. Mosquito control is no different. Complete mosquito eradication is impossible, thus man's effort to control mosquitoes is an on-going battle. In the previous sections, we have discussed the benefits to be derived from controlling mosquitoes. Those being, a greatly reduced threat from mosquito-borne disease, and an overall improvement in the quality of life. On the other hand, the risks associated with mosquito control also concern human health, and the health of our natural environment. In the following sections we will discuss these risks, and how, through modern technology, mosquito control agencies have been able to reduce the threat to human health and the environment.
This task is accomplished is through the implementation of a comprehensive plan of integrated control approaches, know as Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM). The plan is based on sound scientific knowledge and makes use of the latest technology, equipment and materials. When brought together these methods furnish a cost-effective level of mosquito suppression needed to protect man and domestic animals from harassment and the disease. This concept means more than simply combining several technological approaches.

IMM at CMC means that approximately 94% of our time, labor and pesticide expenses are targeted toward finding and controlling mosquito larvae with biological controls in a bio-rational, environmentally sound manner.

This is Day 43 of the Positive 100, a countdown to Rare Disease Day 2014 and an exercise in being positive despite it all.
When I was writing the list of words and making numbers, I didn't even glance at a calendar, which is why gratitude was the day after Thanksgiving. But today's word couldn't have shown up on a better day. January 1st. The world is rife with good intentions and a symbolic fresh start.
Maybe it's the nerd in me, but I always love reading Neil Gaiman's New Year's wish pieces. They sum up just what I feel about new years and what I generally wish for myself and my friends.
This year. A fresh start, a blank page and a heart full of hope.
Don't you just love the feeling of a brand new notebook or the first page of a planner? White and open and full of possibility. Crisp and clean and ready to be filled up with whatever it is that I can think of. And maybe just a little bit of dread that what is put in it will not be quite up to snuff. A new year is a fresh start, just like that first page. All that promise. All that hope.
Today is the first page in a new book. And this is how I hope you fill it up.
This year, I hope you find the strength that you need to conquer your demons. That you walk into battle with your head held high because you are a conqueror, a champion and a damn good fighter.
I hope you find the light in the shadows and on the darkest of nights. I truly hope that when that light is dimmest and hardest to find that you do not give up because that light is there and you will see it again.
I hope you remember to love yourself, because you're the only self you've got. Do not forget that your scars are not blemishes or marks to be hidden, but proof you fought the battle, that you made it out alive. You are important You are special and you matter. Repeat that every time you start to think otherwise.
Your silver linings are out there, and I hope, more than anything, that this year, you find them.
Stay positive my friends, this year we are going places.

All men shall not be saved at the length. They also are worthy of condemnation, who endeavour at this time in restore the dangerous opinion that all men, by they never so ungodly, shall at length be saved, when they have suffered pains for their sins a certain time appointed by God's justice.
Article 42 on eternal damnation in Thomas Cranmer's Forty-Two Articles (1552)
No one shall speak to the Man at the Helm, and the Man at the Helm shall speak to no one.
Rule 42, with the second part of the sentence having been "completed" by the Bellman in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (1876)
Pope Francis said eternal damnation is not a torture chamber but distance from God.
Vatican Radio, 2016-11-25 (archive)
If something like eternal damnation (Article 42) would exist, then that also would be an eternal disconnect (Rule 42) between the Abrahamic god and those who adhere to that god.
What are those Forty-Two Articles?
The Forty-Two Articles were intended to summarise Anglican doctrine, as it now existed under the reign of Edward VI, who favoured a Protestant faith. Largely the work of Thomas Cranmer, they were to be short formularies that would demonstrate the faith revealed in Scripture and the existing Catholic creeds. Completed in 1552, they were issued by Royal Mandate on 19 June 1553. The articles were claimed to have received the authority of a Convocation, although this is doubtful. With the coronation of Mary I and the reunion of the Church of England with the Catholic Church, the Articles were never enforced. However, after Mary's death, they became the basis of the Thirty-nine Articles. In 1563, Convocation met under Archbishop Parker to revise the articles. Convocation passed only 39 of the 42, and Elizabeth reduced the number to 38 by throwing out Article XXIX to avoid offending her subjects with Catholic leanings. In 1571, the Article XXIX, despite the opposition of Bishop Edmund Gheast, was inserted, to the effect that the wicked do not eat the Body of Christ. This was done following the queen's excommunication by the Pope Pius V in 1570. That act destroyed any hope of reconciliation with Rome and it was no longer necessary to fear that Article XXIX would offend Catholic sensibilities. The Articles, increased to Thirty-nine, were ratified by the Queen, and the bishops and clergy were required to assent.

Henry VIII was succeeded by his son, Edward VI, in 1547. During Edward's reign, the Church of England adopted a stronger Protestant identity. The Book of Common Prayer of 1549 authorised a reformed liturgy, and this prayer book was revised in 1552 to make it more explicitly Protestant. To make the English Church fully Protestant, Cranmer also envisioned a reform of canon law and the creation of a concise doctrinal statement, which would become the Forty-two Articles. Work on a doctrinal statement was delayed by Cranmer's efforts to forge a doctrinal consensus among the various Protestant churches to counter the work of the Catholic Council of Trent. When this proved impossible, Cranmer turned his attention to defining what the Church of England believed.
The Forty-two Articles were drafted by Cranmer and a small group of fellow Protestants. The title page claimed that the articles were approved by Convocation when in reality they were never discussed or adopted by the clerical body. They were also never approved by Parliament. The articles were issued by Royal Mandate on 19 June 1553. The articles were to be short formularies that would demonstrate the faith revealed in Scripture and the existing ecumenical creeds. The theology of the articles has been described as a "restrained" Calvinism.
Edward died in 1553. With the coronation of Mary I and the reunion of the Church of England with the Catholic Church, the articles were never enforced. However, after Mary's death, they became the basis of the Thirty-nine Articles. In 1563, Convocation met under Archbishop Parker to revise the articles. Convocation passed only 39 of the 42, and Elizabeth reduced the number to 38 by throwing out Article XXIX to avoid offending her subjects with Catholic leanings. In 1571, despite the opposition of Bishop Edmund Gheast, Article XXIX was re-inserted, declaring that the wicked do not eat the Body of Christ. This was done following the queen's excommunication by the Pope Pius V in 1570. That act destroyed any hope of reconciliation with Rome and it was no longer necessary to fear that Article XXIX would offend Catholic sensibilities. The Articles, increased to Thirty-nine, were ratified by the Queen, and the bishops and clergy were required to assent.
Eternal damnation still was a controversial issue in the era of the Oxford Movement.
ON APPEAL FROM THE ARCHES COURT OF CANTERBURY.
[…] An Article setting forth extracts of a review of a work that a Clergyman of the Church of England had reviewed, charging that he had therein advisedly declared, that after this life there would be no judgment of God, awarding either eternal happiness or eternal misery, contrary to the Three Creeds, the Absolution, the Catechism, and the Burial and Commination Service: Held not established by the passages of the work pleaded. It is not penal for a Clergyman to express a hope of the ultimate pardon of the wicked [2 Moo. P.C. (N.S.) 432, 433]. […]

The Deacon C. L. Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) objected to the belief in eternal punishment in 1897, but his article on Eternal Punishment was not published during his lifetime. In the article, one of Dodgson's points is that "αἰών" should be translated as "of indefinite duration", not as "eternal". (See p. 52 in Robert D. Sutherland's Language and Lewis Carroll, 1970.) The controversy on eternal punishment seems not to have ended yet.
I assume, that Carroll's "forty-two" serves as a reference to Thomas Cranmer's Forty-Two Articles. And Revd. Karen Gardiner suggested in The Carrollian (July 2018, № 31, p.25~41), that this is a reference mainly to Article 42 (about eternal damnation) in Cranmer's Forty-Two Articles.
Today, "42" mostly is known as an answer to an unknown question. That answer had been revealed in a popular travel guide and invented by Douglas Adams as an answer to that unknown question. Of course neither Lewis Carroll nor Douglas Adams would have provided us with spoilers which could help us to understand their "42". Holding your readers responsible for their interpretations is much more fun to writers like Adams and Carroll. Therefore Adams told us that the "42" just popped up in his mind out of the air when he enjoyed the view of his garden. And Carroll told us that the last line "For the Snark was a Boojum, you see!" in The Hunting of the Snark popped up in his mind during a walk near Guilford (incidentally the birthplace of Ford Prefect, and then again not his real birthplace).
Lewis Carroll's Snark and Douglas Adams' Guide (the BBC radio series) have more in common than just having fits instead of chapters. But among both authors, it probably was only the Deacon Dodgson to whom "42" had a special relevance in the history of the church, that vessel which had been snarked so many times.

Snarks Have Five Unmistakable Marks
How can we recognize a Snark? The Bellman explains it (🎶🎶🎶): A Snark is not necessarily evil, but you are in trouble once it turns into a Boojum.
"Come, listen, my men, while I tell you again
The five unmistakable marks
By which you may know, wheresoever you go,
The warranted genuine Snarks.
"Let us take them in order.
The first is the taste,
Which is meagre and hollow, but crisp:
Like a coat that is rather too tight in the waist,
With a flavour of Will-o'-the-wisp.
"Its habit of getting up late you'll agree
That it carries too far, when I say
That it frequently breakfasts at five-o'clock tea,
And dines on the following day.
"The third is its slowness in taking a jest.
Should you happen to venture on one,
It will sigh like a thing that is deeply distressed:
And it always looks grave at a pun.
"The fourth is its fondness for bathing-machines,
Which it constantly carries about,
And believes that they add to the beauty of scenes –
A sentiment open to doubt.
"The fifth is ambition.
It next will be right
To describe each particular batch:
Distinguishing
※ those that have feathers, and bite,
※ And those that have whiskers, and scratch.
"For, although common Snarks do no manner of harm,
Yet, I feel it my duty to say,
Some are Boojums –" The Bellman broke of in alarm,
For the Baker had fainted away.
"He remarked to me then," said that mildest of men,
" 'If your Snark be a Snark, that is right:
Fetch it home by all means – you may serve it with greens,
And it's handy for striking a light.
" 'You may seek it with thimbles—and seek it with care;
You may hunt it with forks and hope;
You may threaten its life with a railway-share;
You may charm it with smiles and soap –' "
("That's exactly the method," the Bellman bold
In a hasty parenthesis cried,
"That's exactly the way I have always been told
That the capture of Snarks should be tried!")
" 'But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
If your Snark be a Boojum! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!'
"I engage with the Snark — every night after dark —
In a dreamy delirious fight:
I serve it with greens in those shadowy scenes,
And I use it for striking a light:
"But if ever I meet with a Boojum, that day,
In a moment (of this I am sure),
I shall softly and suddenly vanish away —
And the notion I cannot endure!"
Important: The descriptions above are opinions of the Bellman, the Baker and the Baker's Uncle. The views of these characters are not necessarily Lewis Carroll's views: "I do not hold myself responsible for any of the opinions expressed by the characters in my book." (Lewis Carroll, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded). However, the "delirious fight" "every night after dark" could be a reference to the author's own "mental troubles".
Among the forks mentioned above (used to hunt the Snark and carried by this landing crew of a naval expedition) is a tuning fork (held by the Banker). Charles Darwin used a tuning-fork to let spiders dance, and for dissection (don't tell the spiders) he used lace-needles together with his microscope (like the one carried by the beaver).

Vidyut Jammwal Talks About His Mullet Look From 'crakk'
Vidyut Jammwal is one of the most versatile actors in the entertainment industry. He is known for his action sequences and has one of the most dedicated fan followings in India. The actor is also one of the world's top martial artists and is often seen sharing videos and BTS from his training sessions. Take one look at his Instagram page and you'll be greeted with shirtless pictures and the methods he's had to go integrate into his life to achieve that fit physique.
Crakk! which is reportedly set to be India's first-ever extreme sports drama has started shooting and earlier this week, Vidyut Jammwal shared his first look from the film where he is seen undergoing a hair transformation and the final result is a classic Mullet.
Talking about his Mullet look, Vidyut shares, "the mullet look has a long-standing history of actors in high-on-energy films rocking it in the '70s and '80s. It's the history of this look that made it the perfect choice to go along with the theme of the film."
Well, we can't wait to see what the actor comes up with next!
More on: Vidyut Jammwal

Bonfire announced Wednesday that it had been bought by GTY Technology Holdings Inc., a special acquisition vehicle that is also buying five other companies in the government technology space.
"GTY wants to get that group together as a unit and kind of harness the growth and the passion and the firepower here to help change the world," said Bonfire CEO Corry Flatt.
Bonfire makes procurement software that runs in the cloud as well as management tools for public bodies. The company has mostly flown under the radar, but Flatt said that government digital transformation is a huge market.
"Procurement is not the sexiest space, right? So while journalists like covering the scandals of public-sector procurement, the slower-moving innovation that happens in that particular department tends to not get much ink," Flatt said.
Across private-sector business, one of the most significant technology trends over the past decade has been a shift away from "on premise" servers and software, and a move to cloud solutions. That trend has led to greater cybersecurity and lower costs for business, while also increasing productivity.
But Flatt said nothing similar has happened in the public sector.
Flatt said a new, younger generation of public service managers is driving digital adoption, and GTY is a US$561 million special acquisition vehicle founded by Bill Green, former chairman and CEO of Accenture, along with Joe Tucci, former CEO and chairman of EMC, and Harry You, also a former EMC executive and former CFO for both Accenture and Oracle.
Only 5% of public-sector IT spending is on cloud systems, and it's crazy that it's that low. Every other industry is almost an order of magnitude larger.
In announcing the acquisition, the company laid out their mission.
Flatt said that the $108 million acquisition is 50-50 cash and equity, which will give early investors some liquidity, but he said it also reflects the growth opportunity that the new corporate structure creates.
Flatt said GTY is investing significantly in Bonfire to allow it to grow, and he has plans to double the number of sales and marketing employees, as well as the size of the product development team.
Flatt said the name of the new corporation isn't being revealed yet, with a rebrand and relaunch planned for after the audits and regulatory filings conclude on the deal.

3D letters are very important, especially in design. They give emphasis and are often titles or taglines for designs. There are many ways to make 3D letters, all you have to do is follow this tutorial and you'll be making your own very soon.
Open your graphic designing program and type in your desired "Text" using the Text box. 3D will be used as the "Text" for this example.
Transform the text. Skew, rotate or distort the text to whatever your design needs.
Define the front. You will be making copies of the original text so you need to define it by giving it a different color.
Duplicate the black text. Keep duplicating the shadow text until you reach the front.
Refine the edges to smooth out some jagged edges from the text.
Add some finishing touches to the piece like some highlights or some shadows.
Sketch the text lightly using a pencil. Don't worry if it's a bit messy as you will ink it later on. Don't forget to add boldness to each letter as you need it to convey shadows.
Add depth to the sketch. The trick is to copy the contours of the text/ letters and there you have it, depth!
Ink the drawing and erase the sketch.
Fill in some colors. The top part should be a lighter color while the depth should be darker.
Draw simple sticks of the letter A as the main guideline for the bubble letter A.
Using the letter A guideline, draw an outline sketch of letter A. Simply draw a very light line that will look like it is covering the letter. If you want it thicker, show more space on the inner part of the bubble letter A.
Fill in the basic color. Pick your favorite color and fill it in the bubble letter A outline.
Add the highlights. Now, use lighter shade of the color you chose to show the highlight. This shows the 3d effect on the letters. Light and shade is very important in showing the 3D effect on any drawing.
Use the same outline sketching for the letter B. Basically, we will be doing the same techniques for the entire alphabet.
Fill in the basic color for the letter B.
Add the shadow with darker tones of color.
Add lighter tone of color, and smudge the areas of the highlight and shadow to show the 3D effect.
Draw the simple stick line figure of the letter C.
Add the bubble outline sketch for the letter C.
Erase the stick figure for the letter C and fill in the basic color.
Add the darker and lighter tone, and smudge the colors to show the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect.
Draw the outline sketches for letter D bubble letter.
Smudge the colors to show the 3D effect. Make sure that you are consistent with the light and shade effect. That helps a lot in showing the 3D effect.
Draw the outline sketches for the bubble letter E.
Fill in the basic color.
Add the light and shade effect for bubble letter E.
Draw the outline sketched for bubble letter F.
Add the colors which can also be used for the light and shade effect.
Smudge the colors to show the 3D effect.
Do the same techniques with the bubble letter G.
Add the light and shade, then smudge the colors to show the 3D effect.
Draw the stick figure for letter H.
Draw the stick figure on the letter I.
Add the outline sketch for the bubble letter I.
Add the light and shade color, then smudge the colors to show the 3D effect of the letter I.
Draw the stick figure for the letter J.
Add the outline for the letter I bubble letter figure.
Add the light and shade colors, then smudge the colors to show the 3D effect of the bubble letter J.
Draw the stick figure for the letter K.
Add the outlines for the bubble on the letter K.
Add the highlight and shadows.
Draw the stick figure for the letter L.
Add the outline sketch for the bubble letter L.
Fill in the color, the shadows and the highlights.
Blend the colors to show the 3D effect.
Draw the stick figure of the letter M.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter M.
Smudge the colors to show the 3D effect for letter M.
Draw the stick figure of the letter N.
Add the outline sketches for the letter N bubble letter.
Add the highlight and shadow for the letter N 3D letter.
Draw the stick figure for the letter O.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter O.
Add the highlight and shadow for the 3D effect.
Draw the stick figure for the letter P.
Use the same techniques until you get the bubble letter P then fill in the basic color.
Add the highlight and shadow for the 3D effect of the letter P.
Draw the stick figure of the letter Q.
Add the bubble letter Q outline sketches.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect on the bubble letter Q.
Draw the stick figure of the letter R.
Use the same techniques until you get the bubble letter R then fill in the basic color.
Add the highlight and shadow for the 3D effect of the letter R.
Draw the stick figure of the letter S.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter S.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect on the bubble letter S.
Draw the stick figure of the letter T.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter T.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect on the bubble letter T.
Draw the stick figure of the letter U.
Add the outline sketches for the letter U bubble letter.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect on the bubble letter U.
Draw the stick figure of the letter V bubble letter.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter V.
Draw the stick figure of the letter W bubble letter.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter and fill in the basic color.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect.
Draw the stick figure of the letter X.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter X.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect for the letter X.
Draw the stick figure of the letter Y.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter Y.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect for the letter Y.
Draw the stick figure of the letter Z.
Add the outline sketches for the bubble letter Z.
Fill in the basic color for letter Z bubble letter.
Add the highlight and shadows for the 3D effect on the letter Z bubble letter.
Gather all the 3D bubble letters that you have done.
Add more shadow effect to show that there is only one source of light. Lighting effect is very important in drawing any 3D objects. So make sure that everything is synchronized with the light source.
Finish the effect by adding the cast shadow. If the light source is coming from the upper areas, the shadows should be shown on the areas that are against the light.
Always remember to add boldness to the letters so that you can portray the shadows right!
Keep the colors of the front and the depth almost the same.
To draw 3D letters, start by lightly sketching the letters with a pencil and adding contours around them to give the letters depth and add a 3-dimensional quality. Next, trace around the letters with ink and erase the pencil lines. Then, fill in the top part of the letters with a lighter color and use a darker color for the contours. Finally, add some finishing touches to the letters, like highlights or shadows. For more tips, including how to create 3D letters digitally, keep reading!

Stand Your Ground Law In California
The phrase "stand your ground" is something we hear quite a bit these days. Some 27 states have adopted what is known as Stand-Your-Ground Laws; and, seven states, including California, have passed stand-your-ground in practice. Criminal defense attorneys in states like Florida cite the self-defense law regularly, recent cases of note include the trial of George Zimmerman which led to an acquittal for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Naturally, people can find arguments for supporting or opposing stand-your-ground laws. Advocates say that duty-to-retreat laws put the safety of criminals above a victim. Opponents say that stand-your-ground laws make prosecuting cases against individuals who shoot others and then claim self-defense, a real challenge, according to MSNBC. If you consider a death that occurs and the only other witness to the incident is the victim: the killer can claim that his life was in danger, and the person who could have argued otherwise is dead. MSNBC reports that since Florida enacted the law, self-defense claims tripled in the subsequent years. Stand-your-ground is laid out in Dawkins v. State, 252 P.3d 214 (Okla. 2011), whereby the court wrote:
"[T]he 'stand your ground' law... provide[s] that a person has a right to expect absolute safety in a place they have a right to be, and may use deadly force to repel an intruder... for a person to be justified in using deadly force, the person must not be 'engaged in unlawful activity."
Stand Your Ground In California
Stand-your-ground laws allow citizens to "stand their ground" and use force without retreating, to protect and defend themselves or others against threats or perceived threats. While California hasn't enacted a stand-your-ground law, we do have something similar: the Castle Doctrine.
Any person using force intended or likely to cause death or great bodily injury within his or her residence shall be presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily injury to self, family, or a member of the household when that force is used against another person, not a member of the family or household, who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using the force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred.
Mostly, the Golden State takes a stricter stance on using force for self-defense; Californians do not have to retreat and can use deadly force if they are at home or place of business. In Florida, the use of deadly force is allowed regardless of where a person is or whether or not he or she has an opportunity to retreat.
"Here in California we use the Castle Doctrine that has some of the elements of the Stand Your Ground law," Sgt. Stephen Wells with the Kern County Sheriff's Office tells Bakersfield Now. "Basically if you're inside your home you're allowed to use reasonable force to protect yourself and other people in your home."

A Constitutional Challenge to the Felony Murder Rule
At this time, there are hundreds of inmates serving exceedingly long prison sentences for their participation in crimes that involved murder, even though – they – didn't kill anyone. The reality for such prisoners is the result of a state law that allows prosecutors to charge alleged criminals with second-degree murder if they are part of an "inherently dangerous" felony that leads to an unintentional death, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Essentially, California's felony-murder law gives district attorneys the authority to file murder charges without having to prove that the defendant intended to take a life.
While still uncertain and vehemently opposed by many California prosecutors, a federal appeals court cleared the way this month for a constitutional challenge to the state's broad felony-murder law, according to the article. New legislation passed in the Senate, if approved and signed into law, would amend the constitution to exclude people from murder charges if they do not actually commit the killing or act with "reckless indifference" to human life.
"Inherently Dangerous" Felony
A defendant is charged with murder, under a theory of felony murder. In order to prove that the defendant is guilty of second-degree murder under the theory of felony murder, the State must prove that:
The defendant committed [or attempted to commit] inherently dangerous felony or felonies;
The defendant intended to commit an inherently dangerous felony or felonies; and,
The defendant did an act that caused the death of another person. A person may be guilty of felony murder even if the killing was unintentional, accidental, or negligent.
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco decided that a man who is serving 19 years to life for a 1996 murder conviction could try to make a case that the California felony-murder law is unconstitutionally vague, according to the article. The court stated that the rule "takes an abstract approach to evaluating a crime's dangerousness."
"The risk threshold for an inherently dangerous crime is imprecise," said Judge Ronald Gould.
The decision opens the door for the constitutional challenge. We will continue to follow this critical story as it develops.
Please contact the Law Office of Ronald G. Brower if you are facing criminal charges in the State of California. With decades of experience, attorney Brower can give you the best shot at achieving a favorable outcome in your case.

Rolling Back Proposition 47 and Prop. 57 in 2020
California criminal justice reform is a topic that is of the utmost importance to us at the Law Office of Ronald G. Brower. We work tirelessly to stay apprised of new legislation that can impact our clients; for example, in May we wrote about an effort to upend two bills signed into law that reduced certain felonies to misdemeanors (Prop 47) and made some nonviolent offenders eligible for early release (Prop 57). At the time of the post, the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018 was in the signature-gathering phase.
While many people support Proposition 47 and Proposition 57, there are a good many others who feel that the bills favor criminals and jeopardize the safety of citizens. There isn't much evidence to support the above claims, in fact, the state Department of Justice has data showing that criminal justice reform policies are working. Nevertheless, some cities and counties would like to roll back such reforms.
Last month, the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018 received enough signatures to bring the bill up for a statewide vote, according to NBC 4. However, it will be another two years before Californians can vote on the legislation.
Toughening Criminal Penalties Will Have to Wait
Supporters of the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act had hoped to get the required number of signatures and qualify in time for the 2018 ballot but were unable to do so, according to the article. Advocates of Prop 47 and 57, say that the failure to qualify for a vote this year is indicative of the bill's lack of support. But, we will have to wait and see how the voters lean in 2020.
If voters approve the legislation in question in 2020, it would mean shortening the list of people eligible for earlier parole, the article reports. It would reclassify the crimes that went from being a felony to misdemeanors, back to felonies again. The bill also seeks to expand the group of crimes that require the collection of DNA samples. It is worth noting that Gov. Jerry Brown opposes the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act, stating:
"Read the fine print. This flawed initiative would cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and endanger public safety by restricting parole and undermining inmate rehabilitation."
Attorney Ronald G. Brower has more than three decades of experience advocating for clients and generating favorable outcomes in California. If you're in legal trouble, Attorney Brower can help you achieve the best results possible. Please contact our office to learn more.

Turner's Sexual Assault Conviction Appeal
The Brock Turner case is back in the news, again, following the former Stanford swimmer's attorney's appeal to have the sexual assault conviction overturned. If the nature of this case was remarkable enough, from slap-on-the-wrist sentencing to the first judicial recall in more than 80-years, it just took another somewhat unbelievable turn.
If you are just tuning in for the first time, we will take a minute to bring you up to speed. In 2015, the then 19-year old Turner was caught sexually assaulting a fellow student at a frat party. Without getting too graphic, let's just say that the witnessed Olympic-hopeful actions led to a jury finding him guilty of multiple crimes, including:
Assault with intent to commit rape.
Sexual penetration of an intoxicated person with a foreign object.
Sexual penetration of an unconscious person with a foreign object.
You might say to yourself, such crimes call for severe punishment. However, presiding Judge Aaron Persky thought otherwise, sentencing Turner to 6 months in jail. When it was all said and done, Brock was released after three months, ordered to probation, and had to register as a sex offender.
Outercourse vs Intercourse
Turner's attorney, Eric Multhaup, stood in front of a three-judge panel arguing that his client was committing an act of "sexual outercourse," and Brock did not demonstrate that his intentions were to rape the victim, according to NBC News. Multhaup says "outercourse" does not involve vaginal sex and is a "version of safe sex."
Dean Johnson, a legal analyst and defense attorney, points out that the defense's line of reasoning would have people think that since Turner was clothed, he shouldn't have been found guilty of assault with intent to commit rape, the article reports.
"I absolutely don't understand what you are talking about," Justice Franklin Elia of California's 6th District Court of Appeal, told Multhaup.

Please reach out to the Law Office of Ronald G. Brower if you or a family member is facing criminal charges. Attorney Brower is committed to helping each client receive the best possible outcome in their case. With more than thirty years of experience, you can trust that you're in good hands.

The New Criterion: Sniffing out Golden Opportunities on the ASX
By Tim Boreham, Independent Investment Research
Bullion's romp beyond the record $2000 an ounce level in Aussie dollar terms has prompted investors to take a closer look at the pantheon of ASX-listed local gold producers – despite some problems in the mid tier that have tarnished the sector.
Globally gold again is living up to its status as a safe harbour and a store of value in troubled times, even though in economic and geopolitical terms the 'troubled' bit is not exactly new.
The plunge in global bond yields – with expectations of more interest rate cuts to come – has forced investors' quivering hands as they seek an asset that performs reliably in a downturn the central banks seem to be anticipating.
According to the Perth Royal Mint, since 1971 gold has outperformed both stocks and bonds in periods when Australian interest rates have been below 2 per cent.
And in the five worst calendar years for shares, gold rose 9 per cent while equities fell an average 12 per cent.
In $US terms the lustrous metal has gained 10 per cent year to date and 16 per cent over the last 12 months. But at around $US1400 an ounce, gold is still well below the peak of just over $U1800 an ounce attained in September 2011.
In $A terms gold has increased 11 per cent since January and almost 20 per cent over the last year.
According RBC Capital Markets, the average share price for the producers (both small and large) gained 20 per cent in the June quarter. That's despite producers Gascoyne Resources and Coolgardie Minerals falling into administration and other production whoopsies elsewhere.
For investors the purest proxy to having a gold bar under the bed is an established producer such as Newcrest Mining (NCM, $33.77), the biggest ASX-listed gold stock with a masculine $24 billion valuation.
Newcrest should have produced just over 2.4 million ounces in 2018-19, with broker Morgans forecasting an $US564m ($805m) profit on $US3.719 billion of revenue.
But two if Newcrest's key mines (Telfer and Gosowong) look tired and it will be a while before its offshore growth projects (Wafi-Golpu in Indonesia and Red Chris in Canada) are advanced.
The other sectoral big bananas Northern Star Resources (NST, $13.97) and Evolution Mining (EVN, $5.01) are enjoying robust production, but their shares have run hard and arguably they are fully valued (if not are overvalued).
What about the emerging producers and the up and comers?
Gold Road (GOR, $1.40) recently cracked the $1 billion market cap barrier and an entrée into the ASX300 index after pouring the first three gold bars (1138 ounces worth a handy $2.27m) from its $620m Gruyere project near Kalgoorlie.
A joint venture with South African giant Gold Fields Ltd, the open-cut mine is slated for substantive output of 300,000 ounces over a 12 year mine life.
With a 3.92 million ounce resource, Gruyere is one of the country's biggest mines. Yet the deposit – unearthed only six years ago – remained undeveloped for decades because it was buried under a thick overlay of sand.
Prudently, Gold Road has hedged (forward sold) 130,000 ounces – 30 per cent of output attributable to the company for the next three years – but CEO Duncan Gibbs isn't making any rash predictions about the gold price.
"What's to say gold won't go to $2500 an ounce or back to $1500 an ounce," he says. "I just don't know".
In the mid-tier, the market has re-rated WA producer Ramelius Resources (RMS, 84c) since the company fended off a rival bidder to acquire listed counterpart Explaurum Ltd in a scrip offer. But arguably Ramelius is still undervalued relative to its peers.
The Explauram takeover added the 485,000 ounce Tampia Hill project to the Ramelius portfolio, which includes the producing Mt Magnet and Edna May mines and the Marda project (picked up from the administrators of Black Oak Minerals for $10m).
Ramelius produced 196,000 ounces in the 2018-19 year at an all-in cost of $1175-1225 an ounce, with forecast output of 205,000 to 225,000 ounces in the current year.
The company is currently valued at $460m, including $104m of cash and gold inventories.
Another mid level play with an interesting valuation is Dacian Gold (DCN, 64c), which lost three quarters of its value after slashing June quarter production guidance and increasing its per-ounce cost estimates.
The shares have strongly recovered since after the company released a revised mine plan for the next eight years.
Dacian's mainstay Mt Morgan operation is slated to produce an average 170,000 ounces a year over the first five years of the plan, with 150,000-170,000 ounces forecast for the current year.
Broker Citi forecasts a small loss for the 2019-20 year, rebounding to a $63m profit for the current year. On these numbers the stock is trading on an earnings multiple of a little over two times.
To capitalise on the buoyant gold price, Dacian has hedged 147,000 ounces – 13 per cent of its expected life-of-mine output, at an average $1810 an ounce.
Dacian's current valuation stands at $246m with its cash kitty of $45m comfortably servicing $105 million of debt.
At the exploration end of the market, Chalice Gold Mines (CHN, 16c) is the talk around the saloons because of its capacious cash that's being put to good use at its Pyramid Hill prospect in Victoria.
Chalice has also executed what looks like a handy deal to sell its tenements in Quebec to O3 Mining, an offshoot of Osisko Mining.
The deal saw Chalice receive 3.092m shares in O3 and is also entitled to a one per cent net smelter royalty.
While giving Chalice holders an ongoing exposure to the ground, the Canadian deal allows Chalice to focus on Pyramid Hill, where it is seeking to find out how far the historically fecund Bendigo Zone extends below Murray Basin sediments.
On July 8 the company said a 39,000 metre phase one aircore drilling program had identified three "strike-extensive mineralised trends" for further perusal.
Broker Patersons reckon Chalice has more than a "more than a fair chance of success" at Pyramid Hill, with the prospect (excuse the pun) of catching up with the more advanced Catalyst Metals (CYL) and Navarre Minerals (NML).
Valued at $170m, Catalyst is 14 per cent owned by St Barbara Ltd and 11 per cent by Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting.
Chalice has also acquired nickel prospects in WA's Kimberley region. Yes, the ground is remote and hasn't been worked, but isn't the best chance of finding something to go where no one has looked?
Chalice's cash of $21.7m compares with a miserly mark cap of $37m (14c a share). And don't forget the O3 shares were worth around $11m last time we looked.
As with stories in New York, there are many ASX gold tales and these are just a few of them.

I'm using the latest imscp version (1.5.3) on Debian Stretch. What is the recommed way to switch from MySQL to MariaDB which is recommed database for Debian Stretch.
oh sorry missed to give you that information.
At the moment mysql in version 5.7 is in use.
If you want, I can test the migrration on my test server first. Then, I'll be able to give you the full instructions. Is that ok?
I think that would be great if you can test it. I think i'm not the only user who want to switch to maria db in the future cause it's provided by Debian Stretch.

Of course but ... remember that MariaDB 10.2 is provided by i-MSCP through official MariaDB team repository, not through Debian repository as the version provided by this last (10.1) isn't a drop-in replacement for MySQL 5.7. I'll do the test, either this evening or tomorrow morning and will post my feedback.
have you found time to test this?
i don't want to annoy you, but could u test it? Would like to give it a try this week.
It is an order? Sorry, I cannot be on every front at the same time I'll do that on my free time.
Update from MySQL 5.6 to MariaDB, or wait until Update to Debian Stretch?
