The award-winning documentary, If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front, premiered at Sundance last spring and continues to screen in theaters across the globe. The film, which aired on PBS earlier this fall and is now available on DVD, details the events that led to the imprisonment of environmental activist Daniel McGowan and raises critical questions about ecological crisis, terrorism, and government repression of political activists.
Those who see If A Tree Falls are likely to be left with a number of lingering questions. How is Daniel doing now? When will he be released from prison? What does he think of the movie? Daniel, who is currently serving a seven-year sentence in the Communications Management Unit at FCI Terre Haute in Indiana, answered some of these questions and others in the following interview about the film, prison life, and his thoughts about the future.
Question: What was it like being interviewed and filmed while you were on house arrest awaiting trial during such an obviously difficult time in your life? How present and intrusive where the filmmakers? Did it add stress to your situation?
Daniel McGowan: It was at times frustrating and other times, comforting. What I mean is that throughout the period of house arrest, I felt stifled and unable to be productive. Having the filmmakers over for half of the day helped me motivate, get out of bed and organize my day. In that way, it countered the severe monotony of being stuck in an apartment and helped jolt me out of periods of depression. The whole experience was surreal—wearing a microphone for part of the day after being recorded on a wiretap by an informant was one of these bizarre instances. There were times that I said something and realized that it may end up in the film! That was disconcerting, as was the negative impact a camera had on social situations.
Was it a hard decision to agree to be the subject of this film during that time? What did you hope would be the result?
DM: The decision to allow myself to be filmed would never have been made if I had not previously known Marshall Curry. I worked for his wife [Elizabeth Martin, founder and former Executive Director of WomensLaw.org] and knew him somewhat and was familiar with his previous film, Street Fight. Originally, my sister raised the issue as I was flying back from Oregon after getting bonded out of jail in 2006. The thought was basically that Marshall was considering my situation as a topic for a film and whether or not that eventually happened, footage of me coming home would be essential.
Once I got my ankle bracelet, so probation could monitor me, and got settled in, we spoke at length about his ideas and we took it from there, setting up some longer background interviews. After a few months, despite frequent grumblings on my part, I was fully committed to it.
Having seen my indictment announced on cable TV and seeing how we were all being portrayed as crazy, dangerous terrorists, I felt strongly that it needed to be countered.
The film to me was a way to challenge the narrative the prosecution and media put out about us, knowing it was a long-term thing. My hope was that people would be able to hear my own thoughts and version of events instead of accepting the mainstream media version, which was exceedingly shallow and accepting of the law enforcement view.
Were you able to watch the film from prison when it aired on PBS? Do you even want to watch it?
DM: When I found out PBS was going to air If a Tree Falls, I was excited that huge amounts of people nationwide were going to view it. However, I have no intention of viewing it while in prison. There are deeply personal scenes, especially interviews with my wife and the day I turned myself in that I want to view by myself, at home. I want to have the chance to emotionally deal with that in a safe environment.
As the film's primary subject, what is the number one effect that you would like the film to have on viewers? In general, what do you hope the film achieves?
DM: It is difficult to dive into some of these areas because I haven't yet seen the film. While I have spoken to many people who have seen the film, and read many reviews, there really is no substitute for seeing it myself. That said, I hope people see it and feel a form of discomfort—not in a bad way, but one that has them thinking about what they saw for a few days or weeks after. That discomfort would be because the film challenged previously held ideas, like what a terrorist is, who the kind of people are that commit property destruction, and whether the US government really is on the right path environmentally, with prisons and the isolation of political prisoners in special units.
What would you like for viewers to know or understand about you, Daniel McGowan, on a personal level?
DM: From what I have heard, the film does a pretty good job of showing who I am. Friends and family have all commented that my personality shines through and I credit the filmmakers for editing all their footage so well! The letters I have received from people who have seen the film have been sympathetic but I fear people may worry too much. The film is a snapshot of my life at a time where I mentally and physically was not doing well at all. That time has passed, though, and I am in the homestretch now. There's a huge difference between facing 30 years and having almost completed your sentence. All things considered, I am doing okay.
The other thing I want people to know about me is that there really is no major difference between myself and most viewers of the film. Like them, my circle of compassion is wider than myself and my family. Similarly, I seek to live my life as close as possible to my ideals, though like everyone, I fail at that sometimes. On a less serious level, I love fantasy fiction, singing in the shower, and I am a sucker for children and animals—I'm pretty sure some of those details never made the film!
The film ends with your family and friends walking with you to report to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to begin your sentence, which began in 2007. If you could add 30 minutes to the film to bring it up to present day, what would you add to the story? What are the most important things that have happened since you started your sentence that the public should know about?
DM: If I could add 30 more minutes to the film, I would discuss how unusual my stay in prison has been since July 2007. My friends and I have joked that we should print one of those concert tour t-shirts but instead of listing the cities that shows were played in, it would list the prisons I have been at! Let's just say I have seen more of the Midwest than I ever wanted to.
After an uneventful 8 months at a low-security prison in Minnesota, I was held in contempt of court in Wisconsin during a grand jury I was called to against my will. Once that ended, I was shipped to the Communications Management Unit (CMU) in Marion, Illinois, where I spent 26 months. While there, I persistently sought a transfer hearing to dispute the rationale for my placement there, and I also finished a paralegal certificate. One day I was told to pack up and was released to Marion's general population, where I spent 4 months and then was sent to the hole (secure housing unit). Two days later, I was driven to the original CMU—FCI Terre Haute in Indiana. I've been here since February 2011.
I am not sure to what extent the filmmakers addressed the CMU issue, whether in the film or 'extras' on the DVD version.
Two years ago, you wrote an insider's account of life in the Communication Management Unit facilities that you have been housed in for most of the past 3 years. What is life like in these units? How does being housed in the CMU compare to life in general population?
DM: The CMU is extremely different than general population, from my limited personal experience. For starters, the Bureau of Prisons has moved people to these units since 2006 without any form of due process. There have not been any hearings, evidence presented, or any real methods of issuing a grievance about the issue (other than asking for reconsideration from the very same people who have moved me here). This is one of the main issues we sued about in our civil lawsuit, Aref v. Holder.
There is extensive monitoring of all contact between CMU prisoners and the community, whether it's phone, visits, mail, or email. A separate part of the BOP exists in Washington, D.C. that monitors all our communications. In addition to monitoring, there is a drastic reduction in our communications that has resulted in widespread anxiety and disruption to familial relations.
Prisoners in the CMU are given two 15-minute phone calls a week that must be scheduled a week in advance and take place within a specified time slot. Comparatively, most prisoners in the prison system can use 300 minutes a month. In the CMU, we have two 4-hour non-contact visits a month. There is a no physical contact allowed and the call takes place over a phone so that it can be monitored and recorded. Our visit room has a small glass window with bars in addition, which seems excessive. This is clearly one of the crueler aspects of our placement here. Many of my neighbors have chosen not to have their families visit. Their children do not understand why they cannot hug their father when some had contact visits at previous prisons. Most prisoners in general population receive up to 8 visits a month, up to 8 hours a day, where they can sit with their loved ones, hug and kiss their children, share food and play games.
If there is a good aspect to the CMU, it's the people. Many of the men here are highly educated, considerate and generous. We share our magazine subscriptions, watch BBC news and football, and lend a helping hand to those in need. The unit is highly diverse, multilingual and there are quite a few men who got raw deals from overzealous prosecutions. At the end of the day, it's prison and living so close to others creates annoyances. Ultimately though, things here are resolved through dialogue.
In the movie, when describing your political awakening, you say: "I had never seen with my own eyes what kind of world we lived in. I feel like I'm in perpetual mourning and I have been from the moment that… I kind of took the blinders off and was like, 'Holy crap what the hell are we doing?'" Do you still feel this? And how do you deal with this deep sense that something is wrong in the world, now that you are in prison?
DM: Yes, I would say I still feel this way, though ten years later, I am better able to deal with the frustration that comes with seeing the world like that. When I first got involved in activism, around 1997, I felt like I was exposed to so much, so fast. Part of this was due to where I got involved—at the (now closed) Wetlands Preserve bar, which had an extremely active environmental activism center. Each week, I learned about new injustices and due to my pragmatic nature, felt a desire to put my energy into combatting them. I still very much feel we are on a very ill conceived path but I tend to be calmer about what I see and realize that one person, by himself, cannot do everything.
Prison, and I would say finding yourself in a legal case, has the effect of narrowing one's focus. This is a dynamic that occurs due to the need to focus on your day-to-day survival and well-being. In this environment, no matter the cordial relations you may have, you are truly on your own. Your emotional, physical, and mental well-being is your responsibility. This focus on the self inevitably changes how you deal with events occurring outside the walls. It used to frustrate me to no end that I stuck in here while my friends were out there, able to work on issues we both care deeply about. Ultimately, what I learned (and I'm not suggesting this concept works for everyone) is that you fight injustice where you are. Can I, as a prisoner of the United States, really be an active participant in outside campaigns? No, of course not—though I am more than happy to share my opinions. I have done what I can, while in prison, to counter the injustice I see. Sometimes, this means refusing to believe what I have read about a prisoner and judging him on his actions and from what I see. Other times, it's more concrete, such as soliciting the aid of various legal organizations to address the CMUs. I share what information and resources I can so people can effectively and legally fight their cases.
Do you think it's a better or worse climate for environmental activism now in 2011 vs. 2001 when the actions you are in prison for occurred?
DM: Since I have been in prison for four years now, it is truly difficult for me to judge the state of environmental activism in 2011. When you are free, you learn about and absorb information in a totally different manner than when you are imprisoned. In here, I rely on what I read and the viewpoints expressed in letters by friends and family. This leads to very spotty analysis, since the information I do receive is so subjective. Unfortunately, many publications have ceased publication or gone all-digital since 2007 and there is a dearth of high-quality environmental publications. Also, the majority of people I correspond with are not heavily involved with environmental campaigns.
That said, I cannot say environmental activism is in a better position now, in 2011. So much has happened since 2001 that bodes poorly for progress in environmental activism. I was amazed at how the BP oil well disaster played out, how in the aftermath, there were calls for accountability on the part of BP but as time went on, it petered out. BP set up a reimbursement fund and a bureaucratic and lengthy process by which people could be compensated. No talk was made of restoration to the Gulf or reparations for the environment or non-humans that that rely on a healthy ecology. In fact, within months, BP handled the PR struggle well and blunted public anger. The environmental movement was unable to change the long-term dynamics of deep oil drilling, and business has gone on as usual already.
Another example where I feel the environmental movement is worse off in 2011 is in countering well-funded and articulate public relations campaigns for the coal, tar sands oil, and hydro-fracking industries. As scrutiny increases on one form of polluting and carbon-producing source, for example coal, the response is to highlight another source of energy, which is usually no better than the first. Coal dust spills lead to people saving on coal, which leads to nuclear being portrayed as carbon-neutral. The Fukishima disaster occurs, leading people to get fuel from tar sands oil from Canada. The process continues, yet we never move toward healthier and sane sources of energy, or more importantly, any fundamental questioning of the consumer driven culture that requires such insane amounts of energy.
Do you think at all about what your life will be like when you are released?
DM: Being relatively close to release, I often find myself thinking about life on the outside. A lot of my thoughts focus on employment, halfway house, probation and serious things like that. Also, I find myself daydreaming about spending time with my wife, playing with my nieces, traveling, eating good food and being able to play music—loud and whenever I want! I try not to romanticize these things and fall into thinking life will be problem-free on the outside. It's hard because prison is just so bland, negative and soul killing that life outside feels heavenly.
When do you expect to be released from prison? What are your hopes and ambitions for life after prison? What challenges do you think you will face? What do you fear?
DM: As things stand now, I should be released to a halfway house in New York at the end of 2012. Then, after a few months of adjustment (which entails a job and getting passes home), I'll go home and begin 3 years of "supervised release". After four years in prison and many hours spent in reflection, I have loads of ideas on what I'd like to do. Primarily, I want to get on my feet, spend quality time with my wife, family, and friends, and seek out meaningful employment. My hope is to work as a paralegal or communications director for a non-profit engaged in issues I care about. Prison reform is one of these issues as is urban agriculture, the struggles against homophobia and the marginalization of activists in the US. I have ideas for different projects and campaigns, most of which are long-term and involve books, dumpster-diving and "free-cycling." How's that for vague?
The challenges most on my mind are the preconceived notions and biases of potential employees as well as people I meet—who do not know my past. I have no interest in hiding my history, if that were even possible. Realizing that people may judge me based on being a 'felon' or having been convicted of arson and erroneously being labeled a terrorist is a tough pill to swallow. I don't want to be mired in this though and instead, I plan on devoting time and energy to campaigns that seek to de-stigmatize felons and remove the barriers that deny us full personhood in this country. Remarkably, in 2011, there are many states you cannot vote in once convicted of a felony and thus, there are more than 5 million such disenfranchised people in the US today.
If you could ask everyone who sees If a Tree Falls to do one thing, what would it be?
DM: This is a tough question because I loathe the idea that somehow, my suggestion would be relevant or suitable for people reading this interview. In the context of this film, I would ask everyone to be skeptical in how they perceive the words and message of the US government and mainstream media. You can see by watching the film that the issues presented—about terrorism, tactics, environmental politics, incarceration—are more complex than how you will find them portrayed in governmental press releases or the newspaper. When I see the way that I have been presented in the [mainstream] media, even I don't like myself! It's truly important for all of us to consider the intent and political goals behind those crafting the messages we are exposed to daily. I am really appreciative of anyone who took the time to see the documentary and question the hype around cases like mine. You can learn more on my website and on Facebook.
This interview was conducted by friends of Daniel McGowan in the fall of 2011.

The hidden linear function problem, is a search problem that generalizes the Bernstein–Vazirani problem. In the Bernstein–Vazirani problem, the hidden function is implicitly specified in an oracle; while in the 2D hidden linear function problem (2D HLF), the hidden function is explicitly specified by a matrix and a binary vector. 2D HLF can be solved exactly by a constant-depth quantum circuit restricted to a 2-dimensional grid of qubits using bounded fan-in gates but can't be solved by any sub-exponential size, constant-depth classical circuit using unbounded fan-in AND, OR, and NOT gates.
While Bernstein–Vazirani's problem was designed to prove an oracle separation between complexity classes BQP and BPP, 2D HLF was designed to prove an explicit separation between the circuit classes  and   ().

Early numbers from the Mississippi Gaming Commission show 2018 was the best year for Coast casinos since 2008. Total gross casino revenue on the Coast was $1.24 billion, a 4 percent increase over 2017.
It was the third-highest year on record after $1.30 billion in 2007 and $1.26 billion in 2008.
Sports betting helped propel Coast casinos past the $1.23 billion of the pre-Katrina 2004 level, a local benchmark.
The boost in revenue began Aug. 1, when Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi and Gold Strike in Tunica took the first legal sports bets in the state.
In the next five months, fans placed $157.6 million in wagers at Mississippi's 23 sports books, for an average of $31.5 million a month. In December, during the last weeks of the NFL regular season, fans bet $40.9 million.
The casinos' gross revenue from sports betting was $14.8 million for the year.
Although tax revenue isn't as big as from slot machines, sports betting has increased business, operators say.
"It's certainly more than we ever anticipated," said Scott King, vice president of marketing and resort operations at Golden Nugget Casino Biloxi.
In the last several years, the Coast has had 58 percent to 60 percent of the state's overall revenue, King said, while South Mississippi casinos are closer to 70 percent on sports book win.
That's likely due to the proximity of the Coast casinos to New Orleans and Mobile, he said, where sports betting isn't legal.
"Kind of like the inverse of the lottery," he said, people from Louisiana are driving to Mississippi to bet on sports, just as Mississippi residents head to Louisiana to buy lottery tickets when the jackpots soar.
Sports betting also helped casinos in the river counties stop the steady decrease in revenue that has occurred every year since 2012.
The Gaming Commission reports Tunica casinos were down less than 1 percent and the lower river casinos were up less than 1 percent for 2018. With the 4 percent increase on the Coast, the state finishes up 2 percent for the year. With revenue of $2.12 billion, that's the best year since 2012.

Scottie Resources Intercepts 11.8 g/t Gold Over 6.57 Metres and 37.2 g/t Gold Over 3.71 Metres at Scottie Gold Mine Project and Provides Corporate Update
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scottie Resources Corp. ("Scottie" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCOT), (OTCQB:SCTSF),…
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scottie Resources Corp. ("Scottie" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCOT), (OTCQB:SCTSF), (FSE:SR8) is pleased to report drill assays from its Scottie Gold Mine (SGM) target. Due to the parallel nature of the targeted veins, individual holes were designed to test multiple discreet targets. Highlight intercepts from the reported holes include: 11.8 g/t gold over 6.57 metres, 20.6 g/t gold over 2.22 metres, and 37.2 g/t gold over 3.71 metres in the P, O, and M-Zones respectively. The past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine is located on the Granduc Road, 35 kilometres north of the town of Stewart, BC, and is one of four primary targets that were tested during the 14,500 m program in 2021, which also includes the rapidly advancing Blueberry Zone (November 9, 2021) .
"These results from Scottie Gold Mine illustrate the potential for the expansion of the historic resource at Scottie through both the extension of known ore shoots, as well as revealing the potential of previously untested targets – notably the P-zone which prior to Scottie's involvement had seen no drilling, and now we are hitting intercepts comparable to the mined stopes of the past producing mine." comments President and CEO, Brad Rourke. "The Scottie Gold Mine target continues to deliver as a cornerstone to our primary goal of developing a road accessible, 1M+ ounce high-grade gold resource at our Scottie Gold Mine Project."

About the Scottie Gold Mine
The Scottie Gold Mine, which operated between 1981 to 1985, produced 95,426 gold ounces from 183,147 tonnes at an average recovered grade of 16.2 g/t gold. The mine ultimately shut down due to a drop in gold price combined with high-interest rates. Mineralization consists of east-west to northwest trending, steeply dipping, shear veins, that are comprised of pyrrhotite > pyrite ± quartz ± calcite. The veins are hosted in a package of andesitic volcanic rocks from the Hazelton Unuk River Formation that are situated adjacent to the contact with the Summit Lake stock, part of the Texas Creek Plutonic Suite. While 13 distinct gold-bearing vein zones have been identified on the Scottie Gold Mine Project, mine production was primarily from one vein (the M-zone).
Historical drilling of the Scottie Gold Mine was largely focused on mine production, with little work done on proving up substantial resources. The majority of historical drilling was done from underground, and therefore consisted of short holes with single targets – with very restricted drill pad locations. Recent exploration by Scottie has used the benefits of drilling from surface to target areas that were inaccessible with underground drill locations, and where possible to test multiple targets with individual holes. The Scottie Gold Mine is located on the Granduc Road, 20 km north of the Ascot Resources' Premier Project, which is in the process of refurbishing their mill in anticipation of production in Q1 2023 (December 7, 2021).
Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples during the 2021 field season were analyzed at either ALS Laboratory in Vancouver, BC or at SGS Minerals in Burnaby, BC. The sampling program was undertaken under the direction of Dr. Thomas Mumford. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic absorption spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+9 g/t Au). Analysis by four acid digestion with multi-element ICP-AES analysis was conducted on all samples with silver and base metal over-limits being re-analyzed by emission spectrometry.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 19, 2022) – Karus Gold Corp. ("Karus Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from its summer 2021 drill program at its Gold Creek gold project ("Gold Creek") part of the Company's 1,000 square kilometers ("km") South Cariboo Gold District in British Columbia (Figure 1). A total of 1,389 meters ("m") in five diamond drill holes was completed at Gold Creek between mid-June and early July 2021, including hole GC-21-049 that returned 0.74 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 46.4 m within a broader envelope of gold mineralization of 0.49 g/t gold over 80.65 m.
Karus Gold Vice President of Exploration, Michael Tucker, comments, "The Gold Creek program successfully confirmed the orientation and trend of the gold bearing horizon at the Camp Zone. The same mineralized horizon has now been traced for over 1,000 m of strike length, and depths up to 250 m down-dip. The system continues to demonstrate robust scale potential."
Program confirmed the orientation of the broader envelope of gold mineralization in the Camp Zone.
Higher-grade plunge lines are beginning to be identified within the broader corridor or mineralization.
Mineralized corridor remains sparsely tested over 1,000m strike length and could be part of a much larger gold mineralizing system that includes the adjacent Spanish Mountain deposit that is 100% owned by Spanish Mountain Gold.

Karus Gold has not been able to determine true width yet due to complexity of the vein structures within the mineralized zones. The 2021 drill program was designed to better understand the geometry and how the mineralized zones are related. The orientation of individual quartz veins within the mineralized zones are quite variable. Reported widths are drill indicated core length and not true width, for the reasons above. Average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts.
Composites are calculated using a 0.1 g/t Au cutoff, incorporating no more than 7 m downhole dilution. Higher grade composite sections are calculated using a 1 g/t and 3g/t cutoff incorporating no more than 5 m downhole dilution.
Based on this drill program the Company is confident that gold mineralization at the Camp Zone is contained within a corridor that strikes northwest and dips approximately 60-70 degrees to the northeast (Figure 2). The Camp Zone has been traced through wide-spaced drilling for ~1,000 m along strike and to a depth of ~280 m below surface, ~250 m down-dip (Figure 3). Gold mineralization at the Camp Zone lies to the northwest and along trend of the Spanish Mountain deposit, 100% owned by Spanish Mountain Gold, which hosts measured and indicated resources of 4.7 million ounces of gold grading 0.5 g/t gold (see Spanish Mountain Gold May 11, 2021 press release).
Figure 4 is an inclined long section along this mineralized corridor showing the drill density and quality of drill results. 2021 drill results from the Camp Zone indicate that higher grade plunge lines within this corridor plunge steeply to the west.
The next stage of drilling at the Camp Zone will be to systematically step out along this corridor and search for additional higher-grade zones. Interpretation of multi-element data from 2020 and 2021 is ongoing to search for alteration assemblages and elemental correlations to zones of higher-grade gold.
Next Steps and 2022 work program
The Camp Zone has largely been the focus of work at Gold Creek in the recent past, however, much of the broader land package remains largely under-explored. Karus Gold plans to complete a property wide IP survey to better understand the sub-surface geology in the area as it is largely under tertiary cover. The goal of this survey is to generate near term drill targets as well as identify any potential continuation of the Camp Zone to the northwest across the Poquette Fault. A biogeochemical survey over prospective areas will help further refine areas for drill testing. The next phase of drilling will be ~2,500 m split between the Camp Zone and new exploration targets.
Drill assay results from the 7,142 meter FG Gold drill program continue to be received and Karus Gold expects to be in a position to provide these results in the first quarter of 2022.

QA/QC and Qualified Person
Once the drill core was received from the drill site, individual samples were determined, logged for geological attributes, sawn in half, labelled, and bagged for assay submittal. The remaining drill core was then stored at a secure site in Horsefly, BC. The Company inserted quality control samples at regular intervals within the sample stream which included blanks, preparation duplicates, and standard reference materials with all sample shipments intended to monitor laboratory performance. Sample shipment was conducted under a chain of custody procedure.
Drill core samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas' analytical facility in Vancouver, BC for preparation and analysis. Sample preparation included drying and weighing the samples, crushing the entire sample, and pulverizing 250 grams. Analysis for gold was by method FA450: 50g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption (AAS) finish with a lower limit of 0.005 ppm and upper limit of 10 ppm. Gold assays greater than 10ppm are automatically analysed by method FA550: 50g fire assay fusion with a gravimetric fusion.
Bureau Veritas is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. Parameters for Bureau Veritas' internal and Karus Gold's external blind quality control samples were acceptable for the analyses returned.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2022 / Silver Elephant Mining Corp. ("Silver Elephant" or the "Company") (TSX:ELEF)(OTCQX:SILED)(Frankfurt:1P2N)…
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2022 / Silver Elephant Mining Corp. ("Silver Elephant" or the "Company") (TSX:ELEF)(OTCQX:SILED)(Frankfurt:1P2N) announces it has commenced an exploration drilling program at the Paca deposit, which is part of the Company's 100% controlled Pulacayo project in Bolivia.
This drilling program is a follow-up from a successful 2020 drill program (refer to news release dated November 30, 2020) where drill hole PND118 intercepted 112 meters 50 g/t silver equivalent including 10 meters of 93g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq")*.
PND118 was drilled in September 2020 from northeast to southwest at the eastern edge of the Paca resource based on 2020 mapping and where observations of oblique structures to the main east-west trending mineralized resource body, defined by 21,098meters of Paca drilling, were almost all drilled in a north-south direction.
Drilling on PND119 (from east to west) and PND120 (from northeast to southwest), was completed in December 2021, with assay results pending in early February. The drilling program tested the encouraging Paca east corridor further away from Paca resource, where target locations were pinpointed by induced polarization ("IP"). Geophysics survey results collected in 2021 identified a large anomaly which continues across 5 lines (500 meters), immediately southeast ofhole PND118. The IP anomaly starts from near surface and extends down to at least 500 meters depth, which is the IP detection limit.
The Company interprets these broad oblique structures as key conduits for the mineralizing fluids during the formation of Paca deposit. The size of IP anomaly, which wraps around Paca dome, is comparable in its extent to current Paca resource (situated north of Paca dome) at 500 x 270 meters in dimension. The Paca resource** contains an indicated 37 million oz of silver, and an inferred 6 million oz of silver, much of it regarded as a manteau-style deposit.
Most of the near-surface mineralization at Paca is classified as oxide-silver resource containing an indicated 5.9 million oz of silver at 231g/t (800,000 tonnes), and an inferred 1.2 million oz of silver at 159g/t (235,000 tonnes). This mineralization represents an opportunity to recover the silver metal via a simple leach process. Environmental permitting commenced in mid-2021 and the Company plans to provide Paca permitting and technical updates in the near future.
The Paca deposit, 7 kilometers north of Pulacayo mine (the Tajo vein), is part of Pulacayo project with total resources of indicated 106.7 million oz of silver and inferred 13.1 million oz of silver**. These resources are well supported by 94,394 meters of drilling (5,009 meters by Apex Silver from 1994 to 1998, 85,024 meters by Apogee Silver from 2002 to 2014, and 4,361 meters by Silver Elephant from 2019 to 2020). These drilling programs have almost exclusively concentrated on the Pulacayo and Paca deposits, leaving significant exploration upside in the 35.6 km2 land package, 100% of which is controlled by Silver Elephant.
Robert Van Drunen, Silver Elephant's Chief Operating Officer noted: "I was very impressed from my recent visit to Pulacayo in December in terms of the project's resource, infrastructure capability and community support.
It was easy to see why the Pulacayo mining district is legendary with its rich 200-year history, featuring the Tajo vein with an endowed strike length recorded at over 3 kilometers.
The Paca deposit stands out to me as a clean slate project, with high likelihood of resource expansion, in addition to early production potential as an oxide starter pit operation with minimal stripping. Silver Elephant will rigorously study and pursue this production scenario."
John Lee, founder and CEO states: "With the completion of the plan of arrangement to spin out the Company's non-silver assets, Silver Elephant is directing focus and budget to its silver projects in Bolivia. Going forward, Silver Elephant is all about silver and we expect to see consistent progress and news updates throughout 2022."
Paca maps are posted at www.silverelef.com.
*Based on core-angle measurements, true widths range from 77% to 86% of the reported core length. AgEq calculation is based on a 2020 NI 43-101-compliant resource report completed for the Paca deposit by Mercator Geological Services (see Company's press release dated October 13th, 2020). Silver equivalent is calculated as follows: AgEq. = Silver Equivalent (Recovered) = (Ag g/t*89.2%)+((Pb%*(US$0.95/lb. Pb/14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$17 per Troy oz. Ag)*(10,000*91.9%))+((Zn%*(US$1.16/lb. Zn/14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$17 per Troy oz. Ag)*(10,000*82.9%)) and assumed metallurgical recoveries. Metal prices of US$17/oz Ag, US$0.95/lb Pb, and US$1.16/lb Zn apply.
**Pulacayo project resource by Mercator Geological Partners, effective October 13, 2020 with details provided in the Company's news release dated October 13, 2020.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC")
Silver Elephant adopts industry-recognized best practices in its implementation of QA/QC methods. Rock chip samples average between 5-7 kilograms. Samples are shipped to ALS Global Laboratories in Ururo, Bolivia for preparation and then shipped to ALS Global laboratories in Lima, Peru for analysis. Samples are analyzed using Intermediate Level Four Acid Digestion. Silver overlimits ("ore grade") are analyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. The ALS Laboratories sample management system meets all the requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015. All ALS geochemical hub laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures. A geochemical standard control sample is inserted into the sample stream. The laboratory also includes duplicates of samples, standards and blanks for additional QA/QC. Check assays are reviewed prior to the release of data. Assays are also reviewed for their geological context and checked against field descriptions.

Think you don't have to worry about identity theft as a college student? Think again. College students are at high risk of identity theft—for a variety of reasons. As a college student, you're likely to be less savvy about protecting your personal information—and living in an environment that makes it easy for thieves to find the information they need about you. Here are just a few reasons why, as a college student, you should worry about identity theft—and be vigilant in protecting your information.
It's relatively easy to get new credit as a college student. Just take a look at the way credit card companies aggressively market to college students. Identity thieves can easily open new credit cards using assumed names, often without the type of checks and balances that are required for those with a more established credit history.
dorm room door unlocked, or careless misplacement of a credit card bill.
The majority of dorm-room robberies are done by someone the victim knows.
Protecting your identity isn't easy-especially as a college student.
College students are much more likely to buy things online than the general population. Even though security for online purchasing has improved immensely, it's still more risky to buy over the Internet than it is to make a purchase in person at a store.
Students aren't just more likely to order online. They're also likely to have blogs, Facebook accounts, Twitter and Flickr accounts, and other social media accounts that display all kinds of sensitive personal information about them—and that are available to anyone enterprising enough to do a simple Google search. Be sure your social media accounts don't display anything personal—such as your address, phone number, or even your full name.
In addition, be sure you log out of any site on a public computer before leaving. This is a common mistake, especially if you're using the library computer to access your email or Facebook account. Leaving yourself logged in on a public computer is like leaving a gift to identity thieves.
College students often don't think to shred credit card applications and other sensitive documents—and if you do, you probably just rip it a few times before tossing it—it's not likely that you own a shredder. According to Impulse Research, approximately 49% of all college students receive new credit card offers in the mail—and 30% of them don't shred the documents before throwing them away. Identity thieves often go through trash to find credit card offers and apply to them in the name of the person the offer is addressed to—so it's important to shred those documents past any possibility of repatching if you want to avoid getting your identity stolen.
The same study suggests that approximately 30% of college students aren't careful about checking their account balances regularly. The less vigilant you are about checking your accounts, the more likely it is that an identity thief will get away with stealing from you.
Many colleges use students' social security numbers as an ID number. And that ID number appears everywhere—on campus ID cards, class attendance lists, checks, and other items that are constantly shared among students, faculty, and staff. Some colleges even post student social security numbers next to their grades. It's extremely easy for identity thieves to find out your social security number when you're in school.
Protecting your identity isn't easy—especially as a college student. Be aware of the risks you face. By simply shredding credit card offers and making sure your personal documents are hidden where roommates and visitors can't get to them, you can significantly reduce your likelihood of being targeted. Be mindful of personal documents in your dorm room and giving out personal information online, and check your accounts regularly—and hopefully you'll be able to protect yourself.

Applying for Citizenship Through Marriage
There are a few requirements that the applicant must follow before he or she can apply for citizenship. For example, the applicant must have lived continuously in the United States for a minimum of three years after he or she has become a legal permanent resident. The applicant must also be in a legal marriage with his or her spouse who must be a United States Citizen for at least three years.
Even though the United States government gives the option for Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) Spouse of a US citizen to apply for citizenship through marriage, it isn't mandatory. The LPR spouse can wait until he or she has lived continuously in the United States for five years before he or she applies for citizenship. It is the choice of the applicant.
Applying for citizenship through marriage may require additional documentation such as proof of marriage. This makes applying for citizenship through marriage slightly more difficult than applying for citizenship after simply living in the United States continuously for five years as a legal permanent resident.
The applicant must also be able to prove that he or she has been living with his or her spouse in marital union for at least 3 years before applying for citizenship. The spouse must be a US citizen.
There are a few factors that may affect an applicant's eligibility for citizenship through marriage such as the termination of the marriage before the 3-year mark. This may include the death of the US citizen spouse before the three-year mark (Exceptions are made for the spouse of a US Citizen who dies in military service). Divorce and separation may also affect an applicant's eligibility to be able to apply for citizenship through marriage.
The US government gives exemptions to marriages that end before the three-year mark. Being the victim of battery by a US citizen spouse may make the applicant exempt from the three-year rule.
The United States government may ask the applicant for additional documents to prove that he or she qualifies for citizenship thorough marriage. For example, the government may ask for proof that the spouse of the applicant was a US citizen for at least three years of the marriage. There are many documents that can easily prove this such as a Naturalization certificate for a foreign-born US citizen or a birth certificate for a US born citizen.
The government may also ask for the applicant to provide the original marriage certificate. If the marriage took place in a country where English is not the primary language, a certified English translation of the document may also be required.

Vigilante Hunters Chase Out Boko Haram Terrorists From Buni-Gari... As Terrorists Retaliates Arrest and Killing of Members
By Ahmed Abu, The Nigerian Voice, Maiduguri
Hundreds of armed suspected Boko Haram insurgents who invaded Buni- Yadi town of Gujba Local Government Area in Yobe state were finally Chased out of the town when some vigilante hunters engaged them in a fierce battle on Sunday.
A resident of the town, Musa Adamu, a petty trader who disclosed this to The Nigerian Voice on phone Monday from Damaturu Yobe state said that boko Haram insurgents actually invaded the town at about 5 pm, knowing that the troops were not on ground.
He added that at the time the insurgents launched the attack, the vigilante hunters succeeded in dislodging and chasing the Boko Haram insurgents out of the town.
Adamu further explained that despite the fact that the Boko Haram insurgents have been chased out of the Buni Yadi, most of the residents fled as the town is presently deserted.
According to him most of the people have fled to nearby vilages like Goneri, Buni-Gari and Damaturu axis for safety and fear that the Boko Haram insurgents might return and attack the town again.
It will be recalled tthat suspected Boko Haram insurgents on Saturday had attacked Buni Yadi which is located about 4 kilometres to the 27 Task Force Brigade, and about 53 kilometres to Damaturu town, the state capital. The terrorists returned on Sunday evening and launched another attack making it the second attack this month, December 2018.
It was reported that the attack started around 6 pm on Saturday with sporadic gunshots from the Boko Haram insurgents, setting some houses on fire thereby making some residents to flee the town, hiding in nearby villages and bushes.
Another resident, Madu Kaka said that the attack was a reprisal to the killing of two boko Haram insurgents by a vigilante hunters' group in the town of Buni Yadi which angered theTerrorits.
He added that after 10 days of the incident, 4 different boko Haram insurgents came to Buni Yadi town to forcefully take away a woman that they claimed to be a wife to one of them but were intercepted by the vigilante hunters group.
He said," The worst of it all is that the woman is married to a resident not the Boko Haram insurgents. So, the hunters resisted and stopped them from taking away the woman and ended up Killing 2 out of the 4Terrorists, arrested and handed over one of them to the military while the other one escaped."
"20 days after the incident, another set of boko Haram insurgents came and attacked the military that were in custody of their member and killed 8 soldiers at the military base," Kaka said.
"With these incidences, many residents became scared and rumours spread that the Boko Haram insurgents were planning to return to attack the entire town. This is the reason why many people fled Buni Yadi before the invasion of the town by the Boko Haram insurgents," Kaka said.
It was however, gathered that over 2000 women, children and men from Buni Yadi have been displaced presently taking refuge outside the town in other surrounding towns and villages .

GEMMA BROLLY: Tories, Sinn Féin & SDLP Seeking to Undermine Devolution, Democracy and Human Rights by Making the North of Ireland the Abortion Capital of Europe
Aontú Representative for East Derry Gemma Brolly has slammed the Tories, particularly Brandon Lewis, in trying to impose an extreme abortion regimen upon the North – in an undemocratic manner which violates the Good Friday Agreement, Devolution and Human Rights.
Rep Brolly: "Unlike people in the south, the citizens of the North of Ireland have had their democratic right denied when it comes to voicing their wishes regarding abortion legislation. If Mr. Lewis, in collusion with Sinn Féin and SDLP has his way the legislation in the North will be much harsher than that of Britain, the south of Ireland and much of Europe, funded by us, the taxpayers of course."
"It would of course be much easier to believe that this legislation is simply to assist those women in the most horrendous or extenuating circumstances, as is often the primary argument for abortion, however, the public deserve to know the detail of this legislation and deserve to exercise their democratic right on such legislation, without having it forced upon them from bodies claiming to advocate democracy and stand for the rights of the people."
"As recently as last week and rightfully so, all five parties in Stormont stood up as our representatives and unequivocally denied the right of Westminster to impose legislation which would strip our victims and families of their right to justice. Yet it must be remembered, Sinn Féin and SDLP previously went cap in hand to Westminster, opened the door and invited them in to legislate for the North, whilst denying them their democratic rights regarding abortion legislation. Which is it to be? To legislate or not to legislate, independently?"
"Since March 2020, 1624 babies have been aborted, an average of three classrooms per month and yet it seems this is nowhere near enough for these people. They demand the introduction of the harshest legislation which could double or treble this number. This legislation would mean no restrictions up to seven months of pregnancy. The threat of abortion up to birth where the baby has potentially a life-limiting disability. This is probably one of the worst forms of discrimination in the world in our generation. How dare any governmental body or anyone 'rate' the value of anyone's lives. We, in Aontú have called this out from the start and we will not stop. We stand for the rights of all from womb to tomb, we will not shy away or be silenced on this. Westminster in collusion with Sinn Féin and SDLP broke all principles of democracy and devolved government when they invited London to impose abortion on the north. Aontú will work tirelessly to safeguard the right to democracy and primarily and unashamedly, the right to life of everyone."

CLLR DENISE MULLEN: Why Has The Taoiseach Not Yet Met With Victims & Survivors of the Glenanne Gang?
"Thousands of Patients Transferred from Hospitals to Nursing Homes During Pandemic" – Tóibín


We are delighted that you have shown interest in our web site and our services. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of GFBio. The use of the Internet pages of GFBio is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use our services like submitting datasets or get in contact with us, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject. We collect information from you when you sign up on our site.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, research institution, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to GFBio. By means of this data protection declaration, our hosting institution, University of Bremen, would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, GFBio has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
The data protection declaration of GFBio is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
Personal data: Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Data subject: Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
Processing: Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing: Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
Profiling: Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
Pseudonymisation: Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller or controller responsible for the processing: Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor: Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient: Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
Third party: Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
Consent: Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
The website of GFBio collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, GFBio does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, GFBio analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our institution, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
GFBio is a consortium of several institutions, each of those institutions are providing services through this web page on their own web servers as processors according to the GDPR. All consortium members of the GFBio consortium were audited by the controller to be GDPR compliant.
The data subject has the possibility to sign up (register) on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the "create account" form. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a data center or member of the GFBio consortium) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address — assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject — date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. A Data Protection Officer particularly designated in this data protection declaration, as well as all GFBio consortium members representatives and employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
The website of GFBio contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our institution, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail, via the contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. When using the contact form, there is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The website of GFBio contains a web application to submit scientific datasets to be stored in the GFBio database for publishing them. If a data subject contacts the controller using the scientific data submission application, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.
To successfully submit scientific datasets to GFBio, the data subject has to provide some additional personal data (e.g., name of authors and co-authors) to allow correct citation of those datasets in the scientific community. This information will be made available to the public after the submission process through dataset metadata (in XML or JSON format and via the GFBio website). This is a requirement of scientific publishing. Scientific data publications including the aforementioned personal data may be consumed by third parties (e.g., libraries, data portals) using GFBio's metadata and data services.
By submitting scientific data to the controller, the data subject agrees with publishing those datasets in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes according to Art. 9(2) lit. j GDPR and Art. 89 GDPR.
The CDN services used at GFBio were audited by the controller to be GDPR compliant.
The operator also integrated Google Maps that is used to display maps of coverages of scientific datasets.
The operator of the Google Analytics, Google Maps, and Google CDN services is Google LLC (formerly known as Google Inc.), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat._anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Google Maps and Google CDN may set additional cookies on the information technology system of the data subject.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by GFBio, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of GFBio or another employee shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The Data Protection Officer of GFBio or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by GFBio, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of GFBio or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the Data Protection Officer designated by GFBio or another employee.
GFBio shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by GFBio for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the Data Protection Officer of GFBio or another employee. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, GFBio shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may at any time directly contact our Data Protection Officer of GFBio or another employee of the controller.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may at any time directly contact our Data Protection Officer of GFBio or another employee of the controller.
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our institution subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our institution and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our institution or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our funders.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our institution signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

Ponte Vedra lacrosse dusts Oak Hall to set up showdown with Oxbridge Academy
Will Brown @wwbrown19
Apr 12, 2019 at 12:04 AM Apr 12, 2019 at 1:33 PM
No. 1 Ponte Vedra (16-1) scored 15 unanswered goals to beat Gainesville Oak Hall (13-3) on Thursday night. The Sharks will travel to West Palm Beach to face Oxbridge Academy (15-2) on Saturday at noon.
The Sharks gathered in a corner of the field that defender Maximus Schalit has since renamed the Davis Park Swamp. It was around twilight Thursday and the Ponte Vedra boys lacrosse team was celebrating another victory.
After head coach Tom West excused the team he asked Schalit, Jack Dowd, Jimmy Burns, Matayo Trumble, Tony Rossi and Patrick Dotsikas to stick behind for a few moments.
He wanted a photograph with the class of 2019 on senior night.
Those six, with abundant help from their teammates, have turned Ponte Vedra into the consensus No. 1 team in Florida. The Sharks (16-1) reinforced that claim Thursday with a 19-2 win over Gainesville Oak Hall (13-3).
"It was a great experience to finish out with these guys," said attacker Jack Dowd, who will play at Furman next year. "Everyone got to play. Jimmy got a goal. It was a fun night."
Burns scored his first goal of the season midway through the fourth quarter to make it 17-2.
Oak Hall, a consensus top 15 program, entered Thursday's contest having allowed 60 goals in 15 games (four per game). But less than two minutes into the third quarter Dylan Hess put the Sharks up 14-2.
Hess' goal invoked a running clock.
"The last couple games have been rough and selfish," said Burns, a faceoff specialist who will play at the University of Massachusetts Lowell next year. "We played as a team and it will allow us to see the bigger picture."
That will come into focus during Saturday afternoon's showdown at West Palm Beach Oxbridge Academy. The ThunderWolves (15-2), like Ponte Vedra, have yet to lose a game to an in-state opponent this season.
"Not being selfish is the key factor," said Ponte Vedra attacker Tony Rossi. "Being able to move the ball offensively, and when we come off the bus, we need to come off hot."
Ponte Vedra's only loss, a March 8 setback to Georgia's No. 1 team, Suwanee Lambert, taught Rossi and the Sharks what happens if they are not ready to play for 48 minutes. Lambert scored the first seven goals of the game en route to an 11-6 win.
"We needed to learn we can be beat and we need to be hot every game," said Trumble, a defensive midfielder who has been on varsity for three years.
Schalit said the Lambert loss taught the Sharks more than any of their 16 wins.
"We're the team, we'll be the enforcers," said Schalit, who will play at Notre Dame next year. "We'll get the ground balls. We'll knock you on your (butt) and talk (smack). That originates in practice."
Schalit and his senior teammates believe the 2019 team possesses the leadership, teamwork and physicality to differentiate themselves from the 2018 squad that fell in the state semifinals, or the 2017 team that was stunned by the slow pace of Lake Mary in the regional semifinals.
The Sharks haven't just dominated in their region, they have defeated teams from Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas this spring.
Ponte Vedra was 17-4 against in-state opponents last year. Orlando Bishop Moore stung the Sharks twice, a 7-6 setback on St. Patrick's Day and again in the state semifinal. Last year's state champion, Jupiter, also beat the Sharks in the regular season.
Ponte Vedra has dispatched both Bishop Moore and Jupiter this year. Their next test is Oxbridge.
Ponte Vedra and Oxbridge are considered the two best programs in the Sunshine State by FloridaLacrosseNews.com and laxnumbers.com. Ponte Vedra is No. 1 in the latter, and No. 1B in the former.
For weeks, Lee Rosenberg, who conducts the Florida Lacrosse News poll, has circled Saturday's game as the one that will determine which team closes the regular season at No. 1. Until then, Rosenberg has designated the ThunderWolves and Sharks as Nos. 1A and 1B.
Ponte Vedra's players and coaches respect Oak Hall too much to refer to them as a practice opponent. Instead, there were a collective sense that playing a high-caliber opponent like the Eagles was an ideal tune-up for Saturday's noon showdown.
"I thought, for the most part, we were fundamentally sound and made good decisions," West said Thursday night. "We want to peak at the right time and now is not the right time. We want to keep climbing that ladder."


Retrograde Mercury enters Capricorn today, which favors a practical mindset and setting some goals. Mercury rules thinking and communications, while Capricorn is a methodical Earth sign that rules ambition. So it's an excellent time to think about your work and what you'd like to accomplish this week, next month, throughout the year – and beyond. However, Mercury's retrograde motion can entail some backtracking over your plans if you put something in motion between now and January 31, when Mercury turns direct. So do some planning for the future, but double-check communications and paperwork.


Tired of waiting around for the cell phone industry to satisfy their cravings, two Silicon Valley hackers have formed a Homebrew Mobile Phone Club. By drawing together hardware and software hackers from all over, the club aims to open up cellular technology to the everyman and lend the industry a hobbyist flavor similar to that enjoyed by PC modders and radio hams. And while we're not convinced the club will have much impact on the industry, we have to say we like the idea of taking at least a small amount of power away from the iron-fisted carriers and their unreasonable, if not unethical, contract extensions. The Silicon Valley Homebrew Mobile Phone Club will hold its first meeting on May 4.
