Capstone Copper Provides the Mantoverde-Santo Domingo District Integration Plan
Nov 11 2022 01:52 GMT
All amounts in US$ unless otherwise indicated
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 2022-- Capstone Copper Corp. ("Capstone" or the "Company") (TSX:CS) today announced the Mantoverde-Santo Domingo ("MV-SD") District Integration Plan (the "Plan") which showcases the path towards creating a world-class mining district in the Atacama region of Chile, targeting over 200,000 tonnes per year ("tpa") of low-cost copper production with the potential to also become one of the largest and lowest cost battery grade cobalt producers in the world. The Company has the opportunity to unlock a total of $80-100 million per year in operating cost savings, while also enabling additional copper and cobalt production, infrastructure capital savings, and the potential for significant tax synergies through the reinvestment in Chile to support our district growth (summarized in Figure 1).
MV-SD District Synergies (Graphic: Business Wire)
The fully-permitted Santo Domingo project is located 35 kilometres northeast of the Mantoverde mine which is currently undergoing construction of a 32,000 tonne per day ("tpd") sulphide concentrator with wet commissioning expected in late 2023. Following the completion and successful ramp-up of the Mantoverde Development Project ("MVDP"), the Company's next phase of transformational growth will be a construction decision and integration of Santo Domingo. The combination of key infrastructure already in place alongside an experienced mine build and operating team significantly de-risks the future development of the district.

John MacKenzie, CEO of Capstone commented, "Over the past decade, I've closely monitored the progress at the Santo Domingo project given its proximity to, and obvious synergies with, Mantoverde. We are extremely excited to now be developing a world-class copper and cobalt district, with both commodities being essential to the global economy's decarbonization efforts. Our team is committed to pursuing the highest standards in safety and environmental management as well as meaningful engagement with all stakeholders as we progress our growth plans. We are transforming Capstone into a leading long-life and low-cost producer of critical metals essential for the transition to net zero."
Cashel Meagher, President and COO of Capstone added, "The permitted and executable growth pathway that lies ahead of us is the reason why I joined Capstone. This is a rare opportunity to design and engineer significant synergies into the plan prior to the construction of the Santo Domingo project. We look forward to hosting our Chile site visit next week to showcase our transformational growth in progress and our plans going forward."
Base Case Plan
Our Base Case plan includes the completion and successful ramp-up of MVDP, a sanctioning decision followed by construction of the Santo Domingo copper-iron project, which includes upgrades to the existing water and power infrastructure, as well as a development scenario for the Santo Domingo port located approximately 65 kilometres by road from Mantoverde.
Future Growth Plan
Our Future Growth plans include Mantoverde Phase II, which envisions an expansion of the sulphide concentrator to process part of the 77% of resources not included in Phase I, processing Santo Domingo oxides at the underutilized 60,000 tpa SX-EW cathode plant at Mantoverde, as well as the development of the MV-SD cobalt opportunity, described below.
MV-SD District Integration Synergies:
Water and Power Infrastructure – A plan to expand the existing Mantoverde desalination plant to 840 litres per second ("l/s"), utilization of existing water pipelines, and upgraded energy transmission capacity provides the infrastructure foundation to support our district growth opportunities. We are currently expanding the desalination capacity to 380 l/s to supply sufficient water requirements for MVDP with expected completion by year-end 2022. The expansion to 840 l/s is expected to reduce net capex by $25-30 million by utilizing existing pipeline infrastructure and lower operating costs by $4-6 million per year while also reducing our environmental footprint by not requiring the previously planned desalination plant at the Santo Domingo port. Additionally, a $20 million upgrade to the existing power infrastructure is expected to further lower operating costs by $1-2 million per year, while also allowing us to fully control our own energy distribution needs at our mine sites. The upgrade will provide approximately 50 Megawatts of excess transmission capacity to the port beyond the requirements from the current pipeline of projects and will enable optionality for future growth.
Port Infrastructure – Opportunity to reduce Mantoverde's concentrate trucking costs by $10 million per year by using the planned Santo Domingo port (the "Port"), located 65 kilometres from Mantoverde versus Puerto Angamos, 475 kilometers away. The planned Santo Domingo port is expected to have sufficient scale to handle capesize vessels suitable for large cargo, including Santo Domingo copper concentrate, iron ore, district cobalt production, and the potential for sulphuric acid handling. Additionally, the Port could handle Mantoverde's copper cathode production which could lower transportation costs by approximately $2 million per year. Designing the Port presents an opportunity to engineer a world-class asset that meets the highest environmental standards, in-line with our overall environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") strategy. The port framework agreement with Puerto Abierto S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Puerto Ventanas S.A., remains in-place and the rail and iron ore pipeline trade-off studies are ongoing.
Integrated Operations – Potential to lower MV-SD district operating costs by $20-30 million by streamlining the organizational chart across both operations, increasing purchasing power given district scale, and standardizing equipment to promote productivity gains. Decades of technical and operating experience in Chile provide a unique opportunity to significantly de-risk the execution of Santo Domingo with a proven project delivery team from Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde.
Santo Domingo Oxides – Potential addition of 8,000-10,000 tpa of copper production over the first 10 years of production, by leaching copper oxides at Santo Domingo and processing the concentrated solutions at Mantoverde's underutilized SX-EW facility. The potential increase in production is expected to come from Santo Domingo's oxide mineralization, much of which is in the pre-strip, providing an operating cost advantage.
Cobalt Opportunity – Ability to reduce operating costs by approximately $45 million per year by building the cobalt and sulphuric acid production facility at Mantoverde that will process cobaltiferous pyrite produced by both Mantoverde and Santo Domingo. The benefits would be realized through the neutralization of a weak acid by-product stream from the cobalt operation at the Mantoverde heap and dump leach operation, as well as through the elimination of port and trucking costs related to sulphuric acid use at Mantoverde. The plan would target an increase in district cobalt production by approximately 1,500 to 2,000 tpa from Mantoverde to a total of 6,000 to 6,500 tpa, which would make MV-SD one of the world's largest and lowest-cost sustainable cobalt producers outside of the Democratic Republic of Congo and China.
Withholding Tax – Potential to realize tax synergies between $150-200 million by re-investing cash flows to support our overall growth plan in Chile.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS REGARDING PRESENTATION OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
As a British Columbia corporation and a "reporting issuer" under Canadian securities laws, we are required to provide disclosure regarding our mineral properties in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. In accordance with NI 43-101, we use the terms mineral reserves and resources as they are defined in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on mineral reserves and resources (the "CIM Definition Standards") adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. In particular, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" used in this annual information form and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with CIM Definition Standards. These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained in this annual information form and the documents incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.
United States investors are also cautioned that while the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", or "inferred mineral resources" that we report are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.
COMPLIANCE WITH NI 43-101
Unless otherwise indicated, Capstone has prepared the technical information in this document ("Technical Information") based on information contained in the technical reports, news releases and other public filings (collectively the "Disclosure Documents") available under Capstone Copper Corp.'s company profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Each Disclosure Document was prepared by or under the supervision of a qualified person (a "Qualified Person") as defined in National Instrument 43-101. For readers to fully understand the information in this document, readers are encouraged to review the full text of the Disclosure Documents, including the qualifications, assumptions and exclusions that relate to the Technical Information set out in this document, which qualifies the Technical Information. Readers are advised that Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Disclosure Documents are each intended to be read as a whole, and sections should not be read or relied upon out of context. The Technical Information is subject to the assumptions and qualifications contained in the Disclosure Documents.
Disclosure Documents include the National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical reports titled "Santo Domingo Project, Region III, Chile, NI 43-101 Technical Report" effective February 19, 2020 and "Mantoverde and Mantoverde Development Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report, Chañaral / Región de Atacama, Chile" effective November 29, 2021.
The disclosure of Scientific and Technical Information in this document was reviewed and approved by Cashel Meagher, P.Geo., President and Chief Operating Officer and Peter Amelunxen, PE, VP Technical Services (technical information related to project updates at Santo Domingo and Mineral Reserves and Resources at Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde), all Qualified Persons under NI 43-101.
This document refers to certain non-GAAP financial performance measures, including "C1 cash cost", "cash cost", "EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA", "operating cash flow before changes in working capital", "adjusted net (loss) income", "net debt", "net cash", "all-in sustaining costs", "all-in costs", "available liquidity", "expansionary capital" and "sustaining capital" are Alternative Performance Measures. Alternative performance measures are furnished to provide additional information. These non-GAAP performance measures are included in this presentation because these statistics are key performance measures that management uses internally to monitor performance, to assess how the Company is performing, to plan and to assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of mining operations. These performance measures do not have a standard meaning within IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. These performance measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. For full information, please refer to the Company's latest Management Discussion and Analysis published on its Financial Reporting webpage or on SEDAR (the "MD&A")
C1 Cash Cost per pound: C1 cash costs per payable pound of copper produced is a measure reflective of operating costs per unit. C1 cash costs is calculated as cash production costs of metal produced net of by-product credits and is a key performance measure that management uses to monitor performance. Management uses this measure to assess how well the Company's producing mines are performing and to assess overall efficiency and effectiveness of the mining operations and assumes that realized by-product prices are consistent with those prevailing during the reporting period.
EBITDA: EBITDA is net income before net finance expense, tax expense, and depletion and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before the pre-tax effect of the adjustments made to adjusted net (loss) income (above) as well as certain other adjustments required under the RCF agreement in the determination of EBITDA for covenant calculation purposes. The adjustments made to Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA allow management and readers to analyze our results more clearly and understand the cash generating potential of the Company.
Operating cash flow before change in working capital: Operating Cash Flow before changes in working capital per common share is a performance measure used by the Company to assess its ability to generate cash from its operations, while also taking into consideration changes in the number of outstanding shares of the Company.
Adjusted net (loss) income: Adjusted net (loss) income is net income as reported, adjusted for certain types of transactions that in our judgment are not indicative of our normal operating activities or do not necessarily occur on a regular basis.
Net debt / net cash: Net debt / Net cash is a performance measure used by the Company to assess its financial position and is composed of Long-term debt (excluding deferred financing costs and purchase price accounting ("PPA") fair value adjustments), due to related parties, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
All-in sustaining costs: All-in sustaining costs per payable pound of copper produced is an extension of the C1 cash costs measure discussed above and is also a key performance measure that management uses to monitor performance. Management uses this measure to analyze margins achieved on existing assets while sustaining and maintaining production at current levels. Consolidated All-in sustaining costs includes sustaining capital and corporate general and administrative costs.

The Tragedy in Haiti
I was published in the Angelicum Nth, 2009-2010 December-February issue. Here it is.
By: Joshua John M. Lipana
Millions of people the world over have voiced their grief over the massive loss of life in Haiti due to the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit it on January 12, 2010. It is estimated that around three million people were affected by the Earthquake. 230,000 confirmed dead, hundreds of thousands more injured and it's estimated that a million Haitians have now become homeless.
The Chaos
In the immediate aftermath of the Earthquake, the country of Haiti was under a cloud of chaos, the government had ceased to function for a significant amount of time, communications was down and vital infrastructure needed for the recovery had ceased to exist. Hospitals were destroyed, roads were unusable and the capital Port-au-Prince like other places in Haiti was in tatters.
Due to the massive amounts of death, Port-au-Prince's morgues almost instantaneously became full. Dead bodies had become a regular sight in the streets. Corpses buried in the debris began to decompose and smell because of the heat and humidity. The head of the Israeli ZAKA International Rescue Unit delegation to Haiti, Mati Goldstein, paints a very vivid picture of the calamity in Haiti "Everywhere, the acrid smell of bodies hangs in the air. It's just like the stories we are told of the Holocaust – thousands of bodies everywhere. You have to understand that the situation is true madness, and the more time passes, there are more and more bodies, in numbers that cannot be grasped. It is beyond comprehension."
Rescue and Recovery
The sympathy from governments, individuals, celebrities and aid-organizations resulted in the mobilization of massive amounts of resources to be given to Haiti, however due to the damage Haiti received during the Earthquake, aid could not be quickly distributed to people, this resulted in sporadic amounts of violence amongst the Haitian people, which only further delayed the proper distribution of aid. Rescue workers and doctors found the stories of violence discouraging, so much so that some would halt their activities at night.
Aid however did eventually reach many Haitians, and the international community has pledged hundred of millions of dollars to help Haiti rebuild its devastated country. The E.U, the U.N and the U.S have all pledged sustained support for this endeavor.
A Deeper Issue
Some have suggested that there is a deeper issue that should be tackled. Foreign Aid and a significant U.N presence was already present before the Earthquake, yet even then Haiti remained as the most impoverished nation in the Western Hemisphere. Keith Lockitch, a fellow from the Ayn Rand Institute commented that, "What the tragedy in Haiti should make us realize is just how important industrial development under capitalism is in keeping people as safe as possible from such events." Haiti's economic restrictions on the private sector and its lack of industrialization are being blamed by a significant amount of commentators for the lack of development, which results in its inability to cope with natural disasters.
Despite the overwhelming support from the international community, Haiti's recovery will be determined primarily by its own people. Whether it breaks its long history of ineptitude and subsistent poverty will be determined by them. Millions of people the world over who sympathize with their plight are praying and wishing them the best. After all the aid and moral support has been given, the world can only hope that Haiti recovers from this calamity and goes on to prosper.

NEPAD to launch 15 Programmes in line with Nigeria's ERGP
New Media Chat with Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, Hon Minister of State for Petroleum Resources.
#StartupSouth3 Enugu Pre-Conference as it happened
Published by admin at September 17, 2017
The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) says it will implement 15 programmes in 2018, in line with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) of the Federal Government.
NEPAD's National Coordinator/Chief Executive Officer, Princess Gloria Akobundu said this on Friday in Abuja, at a news conference to mark her one year in office.
Akobundu said that the programmes would be in four primary areas of NEPAD's mandate; namely poverty eradication, promoting sustainable growth and development and economic development as well as women empowerment.
She, however, said one programme would be organised on Africa Electoral Summit in Nigeria, aimed at deepening electoral cultural and reducing election-associated conflicts.
"We are going to launch the programme in the first quarter of 2018.
"We are going to focus on how to make 2019 elections free from violence and conflict by sensitising all the stakeholders, especially youths to keep off from trouble,'' the Coordinator said.
She said that NEPAD would do programmes to promote and monitor the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to create visibility and make it trickle down to the grassroots in the six geopolitical zones.
Akobundu said that the office would also launch skill initiative for Africa in collaboration with NEPAD continental office and the German Government.
"We will do programmes to promote national unity through sports, host Africa trade fair for Indigenous Products and Services in collaboration with the Africa Union.
"We are planning to conduct a national workshop on Effective Teaching and Learning of Mathematics in collaboration with UNESCO in the six geopolitical zones.
"This will be done in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education and other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
"We are also preparing for the 2nd Peer Review of Nigeria,'' she said.
On her achievements in the past one year, Akobundu said NEPAD had developed and operationalised many concepts and ideas that were aimed at achieving the ERGP.
The Coordinator said that NEPAD had collaborated with some MDAs, state governments, embassies to carry some programmes and projects.
She said that the office had developed synergies that sought to establish agriculture as an alternative revenue earner for the country in line with the vision of the Federal Government.
"We have carried out Agro-Park/Green House Projects in Taraba, FCT and other states.
"We have facilitated the exportation of yam tubers agreement to Cote'd Ivoire and other countries; we have developed farm clusters for women cooperatives and organisations.
"We have also facilitated renewable energy such as the rice husk-to- electricity project in Abakaliki, Ebonyi and other states,'' she said.
In addition, she said that the office had managed to attend international programmes across Africa in spite of the paucity of funds.
According to her, the programmes are aimed at re-establishing the relevance of Nigeria in the affairs of NEPAD and AU.
NEPAD is a socio-economic flagship programme of the AU.
It facilities and coordinates the development of continent-wide programmes and projects mobilise resources and engages the global community, Regional Communities, like ECOWAS and other member states.

Tories echo call for stronger voice in Brussels
Vol 7, No.19, 10.5.01, p6
Conservatives in the UK have revived a French Socialist call for member states to have a full-time minister in Brussels and to reduce the power of European Commissioners.
Francis Maude, the Tory foreign affairs spokesman, said a cabinet minister answering regularly to his national parliament would be prevented from "going native" in Brussels. "Relentless integration is less likely to be pursued if the agenda is set by those who know they will be called properly to account for their actions."
Maude wants the Commission transformed into a civil service. French Minister for Europe Pierre Moscovici made similar calls in his 1999 book Au Coeur de l' Europe, according to the UK's Daily Telegraph newspaper.

(em francês: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!) é uma proclamação tradicional feita na sequência da subida ao trono de um novo monarca, em vários países, tais como o Reino Unido, Canadá e outros. A frase original foi traduzida a partir do francês Le Roi est mort. Vive le Roi!, que foi pela primeira vez declarada a partir da coroação de Carlos VII da França após a morte do seu pai Carlos VI da França, em 1422. Em França, a declaração era tradicionalmente feita pelo Duc d'Uzès, por um alto Par de França, logo que o caixão contendo os restos do antigo rei descia para a abóbada da Basílica de São Dinis. A frase surgiu a partir da lei de le mort saisit le vif - em que a transferência de soberania ocorre instantaneamente após o momento da morte do antigo monarca.

Na altura, o francês era a principal língua dos aristocratas, na Inglaterra, e a proclamação foi rapidamente absorvida idealmente como representando a mesma tradição - que na Inglaterra remonta a 1272, quando Henrique III de Inglaterra morreu enquanto o seu filho, Eduardo I de Inglaterra, estava a combater nas Cruzadas. Para evitar qualquer hipótese de uma guerra civil pelo fim de sucessão, o Real Conselho proclamou "O trono nunca deve ficar vazio; o país nunca deve ficar sem um monarca." Assim, Eduardo I foi declarado Rei mesmo antes de este saber do falecimento do pai, retornando à Inglaterra assim que soube para governar.

"O Rei está morto. Viva o Rei" faz parte do texto oficial da Proclamação de Adesão, sendo lido na sequência da decisão do Conselho em relação à adesão do legítimo herdeiro do trono.

Em algumas monarquias, tais como o Reino Unido, um interregno é normalmente evitado pelo uso de "O Rei está morto. Viva o Rei", ou seja, o herdeiro ao trono torna-se imediatamente no novo monarca. Esta célebre frase significa a continuidade da soberania, anexada a uma forma de poder pessoal chamada Autocracia. Isso não é assim em outras monarquias onde o novo monarca começa a reinar apenas após a coroação ou algum outro evento tradicional ou formal. Na República das Duas Nações, por exemplo, os reis eram eleitos, o que muitas vezes levou a um interregno relativamente longo. Durante esse tempo, alguém servia como um interrex (régua entre reis).

Devido à natureza da frase memorável (devido a epanalepsis), bem como à sua importância histórica, a frase surge regularmente como um título para artigos, editoriais, propagandas ou sobre temas de sucessão ou de substituição, bem como relacionar-se com a continuidade do sucesso comercial de Elvis Presley, como "O Rei do Rock 'n' Roll", ou Michael Jackson como "Rei da música popular".

BKLYN Equestrian: "If you got it..."
Michele and Grayson had a flatwork breakthrough yesterday. Grayson has all the best Thoroughbred qualities in that he's very intelligent and will try his heart out, but historically he finds it easier to go faster than work from behind. This week something seemed to click, when "Gray" started to get the hang of moving over his topline and even showed some schwung (swing).
Michele is preparing Gray for the Intro Level tests at the May 16 Stanhope Stables dressage show. At this rate, I think that the pair could land a respectable score if she decides to get their feet wet at Training 1 (no pressure though!).
Though the elegantly built Michele began riding later in life, the rest of us are a little envious, since her body clearly was made for this sport. LIke most of us, I suspect that Michele would have liked to have gotten started a little earlier, but as her trainer Terri Stryker says in the video, "If you got it, flaunt it!"


My name is Michaela, and I work with Amy Peppercorn Photography as Office Assistant / Marketing Guru. If you see any recent print or online features where Amy's work was highlighted in a publication, odds are I was the one to get it there! Along with Amy, of course. Because where would we all be without her absolutely jaw-dropping photos? Amiright?
I say this as if I know what it means to have the gift of Amy's photography chronicling my personal love story. Well, readers, I am fortunate to say that I know firsthand! While I am now part of the APP team, I first connected with Amy back in 2015 when my now-husband and I booked her to cover our wedding. After seeing her plethora of wedding albums, along with meeting her in person, we were easily convinced. We felt strongly about her penchant for capturing genuine, heartfelt moments in an artistic and editorial manner, and we never looked back!
As a bride with Amy, I always felt extremely at ease, which is saying a lot for how much a typical couple wants to control everything involved with their big day! My husband and I were able to trust Amy 100% with our timeline and vision because she felt like a kindred spirit - one that knew what she was doing, and did her best to capture the details that meant the most to us. She was organized, passionate, and super fun to be around every time we met up, whether for a few hours of engagement photos or in her delivering the printed save-the-dates she co-designed with us.
It was clear in every interaction that Amy valued us as clients and we weren't just another paycheck or another couple. I know now from working with her that she consistently recalls little facts about couples and their wedding days - even the stories of how they met - with ease. She really enjoys getting to know each client, and values the memories of their time together.
My time as an APP bride was so relaxed - you can't help but feel carefree under Amy's guidance. The most I had to worry about when having my photos taken was trying to look a normal amount of happy! Between marrying my best friend and having one of the best photographers in — I'm gonna say it — the country photograph you, it makes a girl smile REAL big. Luckily Amy is an expert in capturing the most joyous moments, and every photograph she delivered was flawless.
If you're not accustomed to having your picture taken, it can be daunting to work with an accomplished photographer. Just remember, the vast majority of Amy's couples also had no experience with a photoshoot, and if you see her work, you can see why a lack of modeling has no bearing on whether you get outstanding photos from your session! Your investment with Amy is a guarantee to memories sealed in time.
The great thing about shooting with Amy is that she just wants you to be yourself in front of the camera! If you're feeling silly, she'll take that energy and maybe direct you and your partner to dance a little, or just face each other holding hands. The rest you don't even have to worry about (a welcome departure from the rest of wedding planning!). Amy translates small moments into photographic art.
Post-nuptials, my husband and I spent months pondering our wedding album, trying to decide which photo to print on a canvas to join the one we'd printed from our engagement shoot. It wasn't an easy choice, but we did finally settle on one! The rest of our favorite shots from our big day were assembled into a photobook and a frame of 3 smaller prints.
As you can see, we are unabashedly happy about our choice to work with Amy. Our photos are a constant reminder of one of our favorite days! My experience as an Amy Peppercorn Bride couldn't have been any better. Thankfully, when I made a career shift from working in fashion to working in the wedding industry, Amy simultaneously found herself needing a little extra help, and the rest fell neatly into place!
I know all my fellow APP couples out there feel just as fortunate as I do - and I'd love to hear your stories in the comments below! How did you find Amy's work? How you do think choosing Amy contributed to your day?
Have an amazing day! And don't forget to check back weekly for more blog posts!

Q: Delete a user with Mongoose, Express I am new to Express and MongoDB. I created a small web app in Node.js and am using Express.js and Mongoose. I can succesfully create a user and have a user sign in but I am having trouble with a user being able to delete their account.
I have a user.js file in my routes folder which is where I am writing the code to signup, signin, delete, etc. Here is a link to the project on GitHub ( https://github.com/NicholasGati/shopping-cart-2 ). The button to delete a user's account is in views/user/edit.hbs. I put the button in a form. When I click the button, the user is not deleted and I am redirected to '/' for some reason. Note: '/:id' in my routes/user.js file becomes '/user/:id'.
Here is the code in the routes/user.js file for the delete method:
router.delete('/:id', isLoggedIn, (req, res, next) => {
  User.findOneAndRemove({_id: req.params.id}, (err) => {
    if (err) {
      req.flash("error", err);
      return res.redirect("/user/edit");
    }

    req.flash("success", "Your account has been deleted.");
    req.logout();
    return res.redirect("/shop/coffee");
  });
});

Here is the form in views/user/edit.hbs:
<form action="/user/{{user.id}}" method="delete">

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">Delete Account</button>

</form>

Also, here is the isLoggedIn function:
function isLoggedIn(req, res, next) {
  if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
    return next();
  }
  res.redirect("/");
}

A: Since you are new I think I should lead you to find the problem yourself:)

*

*Make sure about form methods.

*Make sure the route for user deletion is called.

If the markup doesn't seem right I am sorry cas I am using my phone to post this answer.

A: I had this exact same issue.  I used an XMLHttpRequest from the client side in order to do this.   I'm sorry I'm not experienced enough to explain why it worked this way and not from the node end, but it may have to do with form data being inherently designed to pass information, not delete information.  In any case, try this solution.
In your client side code:
Your button code (form action shouldn't matter, and for that matter, the  tag shouldn't either, since the logic is handled in the JS, but this is what I used):
<button id = "del-btn" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>

Script to send HTTP request from the button click, this code should go in the same file as your button above, or as an include JS file that the HTML page has imported:

in your server side route, note how the response is just a success code. It's the XMLHTTP Request from the client side that does the redirection:
  app.delete('/user/:id', isLoggedIn, function(req,res){
          User.remove({
            _id: req.params.id,
            ownerID: req.user._id
          }, function (err, user) {
            if (err)
              return console.error(err);

            console.log('User successfully removed from polls collection!');
            res.status(200).send();

          });

  });


Under the conceptual banner of "tradition is continuing innovation," the CJD-Project started in 2014 as an international project with the help of the Japanese government, creating a network of manufacturers and craftsmen from various places around Japan and designers from Germany and France.

Small bag (iPad Size) The front and backside of the same fabric is used for the bag. Just by turning it back to front there is a different color image (back to front not inside out).
Ori is an old established Japanese traditional fabric using a simple weaving technique with a beautiful effect. The back side of the fabric is the exact opposite than the front. Ori also means "folding" in Japanese. So OriOri in this sense is a foldable Japanese fabric.
4 scarfs for 4 seasons are designed using hand carved pattern from the Edo period. Each scarf assembles two pattern and a color according to each season (spring, summer, autumn and winter).
The scarfs are designed using different hand carved patterns from the Edo period. Each scarf includes the very classic "Mitsu Uroko" pattern, which represents a good charm to avoid desaster combined with one additional pattern from the Edo period.
For nearly 100 years, Tokyo based TOMITA SENKOGEI has been dyeing kimono garment with traditional Japanese techniques. The Company possesses a large archive of hand carved pattern. Using this old knowledge and technique all products are produced carefully by hand and the quality is promised.
LONGLONG (size 3 meter) is based on the Chusen dyeing technique used for the traditional Tenugui. Three times the length of a traditional Tenugui, LongLong is a decorative multipurpose product. As such it can be used as a tablerunner, wallpicture or curtain. According to the nature of the dying process, both sides of the fabric have the same intensity of the color. Most images are based on hand drawings.
Nakani Co., Ltd was founded in 1966 as a dye-works, processing yukata (Japanese casual summer cotton kimono) and tenugui (cotton handcloth) using a special dyeing technique called chusen.

Researchers make soft wood "hard as steel"
9 February 2018 | By GCR Staff | 2 Comments
A simple three-step process for making wood so hard it can stop bullets has been developed by a team at the University of Maryland (UMD).
It consists of boiling the wood in a bath of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfite, heating it, then subjecting it to compression.
"This new way to treat wood makes it twelve times stronger than natural wood and ten times tougher," said Liangbing Hu, research team leader. "This could be a competitor to steel or even titanium alloys, it is so strong and durable."
"It's also comparable to carbon fibre, but much less expensive," added Hu, assistant professor in UMD's department of materials science.
The team shot bullet-like projectiles at their super wood to test it. These blew straight through the natural wood, but were stopped by the new material.
The discovery, described in the latest edition of Nature magazine, could make even soft woods, such as balsa, more useful in buildings.
"Soft woods like pine or balsa, which grow fast and are more environmentally friendly, could replace slower-growing but denser woods like teak, in furniture or buildings," Hu said.
"It is as strong as steel, but six times lighter," said Teng Li, associate professor and co-leader of the team. "It takes 10 times more energy to fracture than natural wood. It can even be bent and moulded at the beginning of the process."
According to the researchers the process will work on any kind of timber.
Timber alchemy
Scientists have been looking for a way to "densify" wood for many years. If successful, it could make trees into an abundant and ecologically sound construction material.
Although many methods have been tried, such as exposing the wood to steam or ammonia and then rolling it, like a steel bar, the results have been less than ideal, particularly with wood's tendency to expand and contract in response to the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere.
Wood consists of cellulose microfibres bound with two other polymers, lignin and hemicellulose.
The process of turning wood into paper and cardboard consists of freeing the cellulose from its polymers, which is the purpose of the sodium bath.
Once the polymers are partially removed, the compression collapses the cell walls and causes the hydrogen atoms in the cellulose to form new bonds with other atoms around it, which "aligns" the cellulose to create a hard, light, dimensionally stable material.
The challenge in this process is to remove just the right amount of lignin for maximum hydrogen bonding.
Hu and Li have previously led project to turn wood into a clear material for replacing plastic, "photonic paper" for improving solar cell efficiency and a battery and a supercapacitor. These wood-based technologies are being commercialised through a UMD spinoff company, Inventwood.

I always felt that ordinary wood with a sheet of steel bonded in between was the cheapest construction material by war; and it could be manufactured in the middle of the forest too !!
Hal Luke Savas on February 10th 2018
This sounds very promising with a considerable range of possible uses especially if mouldable. It'll be interesting to see what other properties the material exhibits; fire resistance, UV stability, strength and hardness at a range of temperatures, abrasion resistance and thermal conductivity. Will it remain biodegradable at end-of life? Looking forward to hearing more....

His first game has been pretty good, 3-3 so far for the yanks.
Obviously it's his first game but if he keeps it up, it'll be the rare occurrence where a rookie gets hot and has no cards.
Rangers why did you let him get away?
He doesn't have any MLB licensed cards, but has a few MILB team set cards.
He needs to succeed because we need that name on baseball cards for years to come!
He split the 2008 season between Beloit and Fort Myers and didn't get a card in either team's set.

So sad to see Eduardo Scissorhands go.
Two doubles and multiple rbi's tonight.
How much would his bc auto IF he had one?
He's going to be getting a lot of playing time with Teixeira hurt.
A friend of mine just picked up a Rock Cats gamer jersey yesterday at the New Britain game. He might be looking to flip it if anyone is interested.
Mind if I ask where you are getting checklist by player for Minor League cards?
Would anyone think he is leading the team in production?
SportsCardForum's Inventory Manager. The most poorly advertised feature of SCF. Though availability of the minor league sets depends on my getting the checklists added. For recent sets, I mostly use stbsports.com and gosportscards.com to work out the checklists. Card numbers are mostly wrong (because no one ever seems to list them for minor league sets), but the players are almost all listed. I add all the minor league, oddball and foreign checklists to the system that I can find.
He turns 27 in a couple of months, he's a fill-in player and he's not a home run hitter, so I don't think his cards would be too hot outside of NY.
Granted, although he has produced nicely the last few years in the minors.
His minor league cards, not even issued by topps, are selling for $20-30. A bc or Eee auto would be probably double that.

Q: Minimum bounding rectangle of a circle on a sphere What R packages are available to calculate the minimum bounding box for a great circle?
For example:
box <- polycirc( c( longitude, latitude ), distance=35 )

This would return the bounding box for the circle with a radius of 35 kilometres from the central point at the given coordinates (on Earth). Where:
box.longitude_min = The longitude of the circle's western-most point.
box.longitude_max = The longitude of the circle's eastern-most point.
box.latitude_min = The latitude of the circle's southern-most point.
box.latitude_max = The latitude of the circle's northern-most point.

Something like this should already exist in R, but I cannot find it. The closest I've found (from SO), which I am currently transmogrifying to R, is:
http://janmatuschek.de/LatitudeLongitudeBoundingCoordinates
Also, what is the word (if any) for minimum bounding rectangle of a circle? (The opposite of circumscribed.)

A: Given to me:
  library( geosphere )
  p <- c( longitude, latitude )
  box <- apply( destPoint( p, c(0, 90, 180, 270), distance ), 2, range )
  print( box )

A: Use the polycirc function to generate the points of the circle and then min and max to found the bounding box :)
require(pgirmess)
circle <- polycirc(20, c(10, 20))
plot(circle, type = "l")
rect(min(circle[,1]), min(circle[,2]), max(circle[,1]), max(circle[,2]))

2013 Super Bowl ad spend detailed
Super Bowl ads on TV have immense reach and cost big money. Last year's Super Bowl XLVI attracted 111.3 million viewers, making it the most watched U.S. telecast of all time. This level of exposure doesn't come cheap, however, as advertisers spent an average of $3.4 million for a 30-second spot, up more than $300,000 from 2011, according to Nielsen. Ads that aired during last year's Super Bowl were also 34 percent more memorable and 42 percent better-liked than commercials that aired just a month earlier (January 2012).
Top Categories: Manufacturers Come Out Swinging
Many of this year's big ad spenders were well-known names from familiar categories. Automotive, beer, motion pictures and soft drinks held their positions among the top-five categories, while the uptick in manufacturing spend for Super Bowl XLVI nudged out tortilla chips.
Auto made an aggressive comeback in 2011 and continued to blaze a trail as an ad spending leader during Super Bowl XLVI. After spending more than twice than the motion picture category in 2011, the auto category outspent beer by nearly three-fold in 2012—landing the top spot, by spending $90.5 million. Beer, led by Budweiser and Bud Light, came in a distant second place by spending $31.5 million. With big spenders–like Dodge (Ram), Acura, Audi, Chevy, Fiat–and several others that made the list of top 20 advertisers last year, auto shows no signs of slowing down.

The candidates aspiring to become a Probationary officer in nationalized banks of India through IBPS PO Exam must be curious to know about the IBPS PO salary, perks and emoluments offered to an IBPS PO as well as career growth and promotion policies for this post. To resolve your queries, we are here with IBPS PO salary (in-hand & gross), perks and emoulments and career growth opportunities to motivate you for this job.
IBPS PO is one of the most lucrative jobs opportunity in government banking sector of India. The Probationary Officers not only hold a very reputed position but are also entitled to various perks and allowances. It's essential that you understand what exactly does a Bank PO does and what are the prospects of career progression, let us have a look salary structure of IBPS PO.
In most of the public sector banks, IBPS PO salary is more or less the same. The latest revision of IBPS PO salary as per 10th Bipartite settlement took place on Nov 2012; however, the final agreement was signed in May 2015. According to which the revised IBPS PO salary will come into effect from 1st January 2016.
Here, Rs. 23, 700 is the revised basic pay of Bank PO as applicable on 1st January 2016. Thus the new entrant in a Bank as PO is liable to get Rs. 23,700 as basic pay.
Rs. 980 is the annual increment that an IBPS PO will get and it will be applicable for a period of 7 years.
Wage revision for bank employees is due from November 2017 under the 11th bipartite settlement, which would span five years till 2022. Nearly 8.8 lakh employees would benefit if the 11th bipartite settlement is agreed and accepted.
1. Dearness Allowance (DA): In Banks, DA is revised quarterly and is based on the CPI data as revealed by Government of India.
The last Revised DA for the quarter of November and December 2015 and January 2016 is 39.80% of the Basic Pay.
2. Special Allowance: According to IBPS PO's Latest Revision, a special allowance has been added to the salary structure of Bank Probationary Officer.
And it is 7.75% of the Basic Pay.
3. House Rent Allowance: This varies according to Bank Probationary Officer's place of posting and can be 9.0% or 8.0% or 7.0% depending upon metros, big cities and other locations.
4. City Compensatory Allowance: This also depends on the place of posting and can be either 4% or 3 % or 0%.
Hence the total Salary (without HRA) of Probationary Officer becomes Rs. 35,700 – 36,570. While considering the HRA into account, it becomes Rs. 37,360 -38,700.
1. Leased Accommodation: this facility is available to PO in place of HRA. At some places, banks provide Official Bank Accommodation/Bank Quarter as leased accommodation. This amount is not available as cash component and will directly go to the house owner - you have got leased.
2. Traveling Allowance: Few banks provide fixed Traveling Allowance whereas others allow reimbursement of petrol bills i.e. Bank officer must own scooter/car at the place of posting.
3. Newspaper Reimbursement: A fixed monthly amount is paid towards the cost of one newspaper to the Probationary Officer.
4. Medical Aid: A fixed annual amount is paid by most of the banks (Revised amount is Rs8000/- p.a.).
There is a well-defined career progression path in each public sector bank. Performance and potential are key elements which determine the career progression. Most senior officials in public sector banks started their career as a scale-I officer only.
In tune with the time banks have reviewed their promotion policy and now for bright, hardworking and knowledgeable employees, it takes less time to move to higher scales.
In many banks, a person who joined as an IBPS PO may reach to the position of General Manager in 14 years. After that one can aspire for the position of executive director or chairman of a bank. These are very high positions, nomination to which is decided by the Government and not by the individual banks.
Many public sector banks have a network of foreign branches. Thus, joining a public sector bank gives you the opportunity of working abroad also. Transferability in a bank job provides you the chance of seeing different parts of the country. Hence, IBPS PO Promotion is very lucrative.
Above written are the perks, allowances, and salary as provided by Public Sector Banks along with PO promotion structure for which the entry point is Scale-I Officer.
For more information, you can check out the official notification IBPS PO 2018!!
So does it means that here there is no 7th CPC?
While filling up the ibps po form , i have previously appeared in the exam but never qualified fir the main exam then what should be my number of attempts, I put it 0 but it's showing that value should be between 1 to 8... What should I do??
Different banks have different policy for HRA.
How many months current affairs are needed for the preparation of ibps po mains ?


Highway work zone crashes often caused by distracted drivers | Dorian, Goldstein, Wisniewski & Orchinik, P.C.
On behalf of Dorian, Goldstein, Wisniewski & Orchinik, P.C. posted in Car Accidents on Friday, March 22, 2019.
Distracted driving, whether caused by phone use or by talking with other passengers, is a major problem in Pennsylvania and across the U.S. A vehicle going 55 mph will cross the length of a football field in five seconds, and the average text takes about the same amount of time to read. This shows how dangerous driver inattention can be.
Highway work zones, with their narrow lanes, have long been considered a challenge to road safety. Speeding in these zones has always been correlated with serious accident-related injuries. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have found that distracted drivers are 29 times more likely to crash in these zones.
Unlike previous studies, which relied on crash reports, this study uses more detailed, naturalistic driving data for its results. This data comes from a study made for the Transportation Research Board's second Strategic Highway Research Program, which involved more than 3,000 drivers traveling over 50 million miles from 2006 and 2015. It consists of first-hand accounts of driver interactions with their vehicles, the road and their surroundings.
Seven projects funded by the Federal Highway Administration utilize this data, but only the University of Missouri study has used it to focus on highway work zone safety. Researchers may soon use this study to recommend "behavioral countermeasures" to state transportation agencies.
Car accidents can leave victims with medical expenses, vehicle damage, lost wages and both physical and emotional pain. If someone is the victim of a distracted driver, however, they may be eligible for compensation via a settlement. A personal injury lawyer might hire investigators and medical experts to strengthen the case and then negotiate for a higher payout.

An Arizona man infected his dog and cat with the new coronavirus, according to a new case study that researchers say is the first in the United States to use genetics to document such transmission.
The owner wasn't vaccinated, did little to protect his pets, and had houseguests who weren't vaccinated. The owner recovered from COVID-19 and both pets were asymptomatic. However, genetic testing showed that the owner, cat and dog all were infected with an identical strain of coronavirus, and the virus spread from the owner to either the dog or cat, or both, the researchers concluded.
They explained that the pets were confined to an apartment and had little or no opportunity to be exposed to the virus independently, so it's highly unlikely that they infected their owner. Also, it was the pets' human who exhibited COVID symptoms first.
The ongoing study is one of five pilot studies nationwide examining COVID-19 in animals, but it is the only one to include genomic sequencing of the virus from both pets and owners.
"This case study was the first example we had from the project that demonstrated the likelihood of virus transmission from a pet owner to animals in the household," said report author Hayley Yaglom, an epidemiologist at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Flagstaff, Ariz.
To protect their pets, owners should get vaccinated. If they do get COVID-19, they should wear masks when they're around their pets and not cuddle or kiss them, or allow them to lick their faces or sleep with them, Yaglom advised.
While it's not necessary to completely isolate from their pets, owners with COVID-19 symptoms should minimize contact as "best they can," Yaglom said in an institute news release.
As of Sept. 1, more than 180 dogs and cats have tested positive for coronavirus in the United States, according to the researchers.
The study was published Nov. 1 in the journal One Health.
"This is a great example of using genomics to gain intelligence about pathogens," said David Engelthaler, director of TGen's Pathogen and Microbiome Division. "This study shows that we can not only use genomics to help track COVID variants across the globe, but we can also use this technology to track exact transmissions and, in this case, transmission from pet owners to pets."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on pets and COVID-19.

One FROLI Travel Expansion Pack of the half-sized elements.
For $279.00, this is our most popular package, the FROLI Travel V-Berth Package Regular in our Online Shop, and covers an area of appr. 22 sq. ft. We use a medium spacing and approximate V-Berth dimensions of 16" wide at the narrow end, 6' wide at the shoulders, and about 6' 6" long down the middle.
For outfitting a larger V-Berth of appr. 26 sq. ft., we add an extra Expansion Pack, or simply order the FROLI Travel V-Berth Package Large for $329.00 in our Online Shop.
Here it's best to obtain the quantity of FROLI Travel elements needed with a template (click the links below to download). Or just contact us, we might even have your boat in our database already.
Here, the choice is yours, FROLI Star or FROLI Travel? Personally, we like to recommend FROLI Star for a rectangular bed. Star elements are somewhat higher (1 3/4") than Travel (1 3/8") and offer more up and down flex which makes for a very comfortable bed.
of appr. 54"x75", 28 sq. ft., choose either the FROLI Travel Double Bed Package for $329.00 or the Froli Star Double Bed Package for $319.00.
measuring about 60"x80", or 33 sq. ft., select our FROLI Star Queen Bed Package for $399.00 in our Online Shop.
If it's an odd-shaped bed, such as a v-berth or a "kite shaped" bed, maybe a pullman bed with a curved side, not to worry.
The Travel model was designed to accomodate any bed shapes. Springs are available in regular and small sizes that work with angles and curves. Plus, the base element lets you attach the spring in a diagonal setting for better alignment along the edges.
There is nothing better than having a permanent air space underneath the mattress for optimal air circulation. The Froli spring foundation provides for permanent ventilation to help keep the mattress dry. Choose any Froli model and your moisture problem will soon be a thing of the past.
Note that the variation in spring height means differences in up-and-down flex. So, if you are looking for comfort, choose the taller model, Froli Star of Froli Zona.
Create a "His and Hers" side with different firmness settings according to your personal preference.
