Gerardo Del Real: This is Gerardo Del Real with Resource Stock Digest. Joining me today is President of K92 Mining (TSX-V: KNT)(OTC: KNTNF), Mr. Brian Slusarchuk. Brian, how are you?
Bryan Slusarchuk: Gerardo, doing really well today.
Gerardo Del Real: I imagine so. The stock is up 8% as I speak on very, very good news, both on the production front and on the exploration front. Without further ado, I'll let you take it away with the details, Brian. What can you share?
Bryan Slusarchuk: Sounds great, Gerardo. Today's a big day for K92. What we announced today was very important for a couple of different reasons. From day one, we've said that we wouldn't be able to focus, in a big way, on exploration until production was up, running well, running smoothly. Today we were able to announce that we've continued the production ramp up at Irumafimpa, that things are going well. We've moved from the lower grade development areas into the production stopes where higher gold and copper grades will be. Based on that, Gerardo, we're now able to look at unlocking the big blue sky here, which will be done through exploration. With production going well, we've now said that we'll start drilling over the next 15 days to follow up on that big exploration discovery that we recently made of the Kora deposit extension. So, big day for K92 with production going well, we're now kicking off a big exploration program, and that can really drive value.
Gerardo Del Real: Well, let's talk about that Kora extension discovery hole because it was very high-grade. Do you have a good handle on where to follow that up, Brian?
Bryan Slusarchuk: Absolutely. What's happening right now is that we're driving underground very close to where that discovery hole was made. So we'll be able to drill test around that discovery hole with relatively short, inexpensive holes because the drive will be right there in that area where the discovery was made. What we were able to announce today is based on this recent high-grade discovery, we slightly modified the Kora exploration drive. We are now incorporating the development of a foot wall drive approximately 50 meters from the projected strike of this Kora Vein System. This will allow us to drill approximately 100 meters closer to the interpreted position of that Kora Vein System versus what was previously planned.
The big focus here for K92 is production. The production restart, that's the key. Now that it's going well, we're able to unlock more value for shareholders via the commencement of this exploration drilling.
Gerardo Del Real: Wonderful. There's also mention of a 2,000 tonne bulk sample in the new release that could be mined as early as September this year. Could we talk a bit about that?
Bryan Slusarchuk: That's right. We've guided from day one that we would target production at Kora in the first half of 2018. We put out a very robust preliminary economic assessment with some great numbers, and we filed that on SEDAR and that relates to the Kora deposit. Now, what we're aiming to do because of this discovery is figure out just how much mineralization is around this discovery area, because it's quite close to Irumafimpa, it's quite close to the existing underground workings. If this holds together, the idea is we could potentially bring Kora into production a whole lot sooner than anticipated, and that's what this bulk sample will assist us in deciding upon. In addition to providing set-ups for the exploration drilling, the development that I referred to earlier will allow this bulk sample to be mined as early as September, and that can be a big game-changing type event for the company because of the fact it's a potential start-up of Kora mineralization a lot sooner than anybody expected.
Gerardo Del Real: Great, great. Now, another part of the news release also mentions the fact that the company is planning an aerial geophysics program over all of the mining and exploration leases. Can you provide some details there, Brian?
Bryan Slusarchuk: Absolutely. Number one focus has been the production restart, that's occurred, that's going well. Number two has been the expansion program and exploration program between Irumafimpa and Kora, and then the third leg here is this big, regional upside. And remember, Barrick Gold, the world's largest gold mining company, didn't own this project for the production profile at Irumafimpa. That production profile can be wonderful for K92 as a small company. Barrick owned it for the big, world class exploration upside regionally. So as a starting point there, we'll fly this airborne survey and get some information about the multiple targets that have been identified, others that are likely yet to be identified, and that's part of the third leg, the big regional program. Again, number one focus, production restart, that's occurred, it's going well. Number two, expansion via Irumafimpa and Kora, that's about to kick off in the next 15 days. Then regionally, within this big 400 square kilometer land package, we'll start to look at advancing and unlocking value there as per today's news release.
Gerardo Del Real: Well, Brian, I must say, despite the summer doldrums, I think K92 could be a good model for many of the junior companies in the space as to how to take advantage of the summer doldrums and position the company in a way that can really benefit shareholders as we come into the seasonally stronger months of the year with September, October and November coming up. Congratulations to you and the team. I hope to have you back on as you issue further news releases as to the development of the project.
Bryan Slusarchuk: Absolutely, thanks, Gerardo. After a relatively quiet period where a lot's been going on on-site, I think you'll see a whole lot of news flow starting and today represents day one of that news flow. You'll see a lot more in the coming weeks.
Gerardo Del Real: Well, it's certainly fortuitous timing, so thanks again, Brian. I hope to have you back on within a couple of weeks as some more of that news slowly but surely trickles out.
Bryan Slusarchuk: Thank you. Thanks for having me on.
Gerardo Del Real: Thank you, Brian.


E2E music feature writer Lydia returns with a sizzling hot summer anthem for Throwback Thursday.
What's really good guys?! It has been ages since the last Throwback Thursday, but we are back and bigger and better than ever! With the amazing weather we've been having, I think we can safely say that summer is finally here – and what better way to welcome it than with a classic summer anthem?
I give to you Beenie Man's 'Girls Dem Sugar', featuring Mya. Can you believe this song is more than 10 years old? I remember when it first came out! I fell in love with it straight away – I mean how can you not? It's such a happy-go-lucky tune, you can't help but smile when you hear it.
However, I only truly began to appreciate the production on this track during my teenage years, when my love for music began to grow. If anyone were to hear this for the first time today, they would be able to tell from the jump that it is a Neptunes beat. You cannot mistake Pharrell William's snare! That's how you know Pharrell is a don – he can even school people on Bashment!
So without further ado, here's this week's Throwback Thursday!

As 2011 turns into 2012 we can reflect on a good year for Irish cinema. Films such as The Guard, Sensation, Parked and One Hundred Mornings were either commercial or critical successes, sometimes both. With finances being tougher than ever in Ireland we could be forgiven for thinking that film could be one of the first casualties of this. Amazingly this may not be the case. Here is a list of reasons why 2012 may well prove to be one of the best years for Irish film both at home and abroad.
Yes that's right, this is a plus. Why? Well, we were never going to be a blockbuster kind of nation. The scale is just too big. With the literary tradition that this country has our cinema should always be about the personal connections. The relationship between people and themes is what we are. Our cinema lost sight of this in the 1990s during The Celtic bleedin' Tiger and the one massive Hollywood Irish blockbuster we had in Michael Collins. It was decent but compromised, done much better by RTE in The Treaty. At those dizzy heights, with films like Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan being filmed here, we dared to dream. But it could never last and that could only be a good thing for our filmmakers. We have already had a film, Conor Horgan's One Hundred Mornings which has indirectly dealt with the societal financial meltdown that left us with austerity. There will be more and for that we should be thankful.
Few who saw Michael Fassbender in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds would have guessed that this German born actor was Irish. Fassbender's mother is Irish and he grew up in Kerry. With an upper class English accent and fluent German he seemed very far away from the stereotypical Irish actor. Indeed not many would have thought it was the same man that played Bobby Sands in Steve Mc Queens astonishing Hunger such was the transformation. But Irish he is, and with talk of an Oscar nomination for Shame (Steve Mc Queen's follow up) growing, we have a seriously good actor on our hands here. Hollywood has also taken notice with Fassbender taking the lead role in the new X-Men film earlier this year. The future is bright for Fassbender with a proposed third collaboration with Mc Queen on the way.
This city has been crying out for a large creative space for filmmakers to work out ideas for scripts, try out actors, test footage etc. and it may well have finally found it with The Factory. A large warehouse on Barrow Street represents what the future of Irish film may well be. An initiative between filmmakers Kirsten Sheridan and John Carney to find a space for creative output, it now encompasses a collaborative space for all filmmakers to try and create smaller budget films with a distinct Irish feel. There are various studios, editing and screening rooms so that films can be taken from the start of the process to post production. There are two films in post production at the moment, John Carney's Irish ghost story The Rafters and Kirsten Sheridan's thriller Dollhouse which will screen at the Berlin Film Festival. These are exciting times for The Factory group.
Terry Mc Mahon's new film is one which may well divide audiences. A great reception at the Galway Film Fleadh last year where Mc Mahon took away the first feature prize does not mean that this film won't garner controversy along the way. The trailer looks, quite frankly, astounding: terrifying, funny and beautifully shot with what may be a career making performance from Emmett Scanlon in the lead role. This film may not be for everyone which is what may set it apart. A film that divides audiences is no bad thing. Great films like Fight Club and The Tree of Life all have their detractors. Films that explore the darkness of the human soul are always to be welcomed especially in a country where to have that exploration this close up is a rarity indeed.
For years Neil Jordan and Jim Sheridan have carried the hopes of a nation when it comes to Irish films competing on the world stage. As they (seemingly) become a little less important to Irish cinema (though they still may have another great film in them) a new generation of filmmakers have been a long time coming. But there seems to be a new energy in Ireland. As well as the directors mentioned above there are directors such as Conor Horgan, brothers Martin and John Michael Mc Donagh, Tom Hall and Juanita Wilson who are coming to the fore. The subject matters of their films are now exploring Irish themes in a far more direct way. Fast disappearing are the naval gazing films of the 'troubles'. Juanita Wilson's As If I Am Not There will represent Ireland in the best foreign film category at this year's Oscars after previously being nominated for her short The Door. There is also Mark O'Connor (Between the Canals) and Carmel Winters (Snap). If the promise of these filmmakers is realised in the next few years we could see some of the best Irish films ever made.
These last few years have been an interesting time for Irish documentaries. In the last two years we have had documentaries coming to the fore: Ken Wardrop's His & Hers, Maya Derrington's Pyjama Girls, Sé Merry Doyle's Dreaming the Quiet Man and Risteard Ó Domhnaill's The Pipe which have all being critically acclaimed. Crucially most have been shown on the big screen with His & Hers being the most successful film ever at the Lighthouse cinema. Add to this the recent big screen outing for Frank Berry's Ballymun Lullaby and it is obvious that this is an area in Irish film that we may well see a lot more from.
There is nothing definitive as of yet but there seems to be two bids in to run the Lighthouse cinema site. We can only hope that this comes to a successful end as the Lighthouse cinema is one of the shining lights in Irish and independent cinema in Ireland. It has been sorely missed on the north side of the city and would be a welcome addition again to the Smithfield area. It would be great to have it again alongside the other great independent cinema in Dublin, the IFI. Fingers crossed in 2012.
This film may not see the light of day until 2013 but it warrants inclusion on the basis of the ambition and scale on show. To be directed by Brendan Gleeson, it is to have a who's who of Irish talent on screen. Gabriel Byrne, Cillian Murphy, Michael Fassbender and Colin Farrell have all signed on. With a cast like this, hopes are indeed high. For Gleeson this is a long time passion project and one that has taken years to put the finances into place. The novel by Flann O'Brien is considered a classic and with funding secured, this film has the potential to be a modern classic.
One of Ireland's most talented directors will make his return in 2012 with his new film What Richard Did. A modern day story about a young sports star whose life is changed after an act of violence, this film promises to be one of the highlights of 2012. It is hard not to expect too much from Abrahamson when two of his previous features, Adam and Paul and Garage, are considered to be great Irish films (I will be hoping to review all three in a director's spotlight when What Richard Did reaches the cinema this year). Suffice to say this is one to mark down in your diary.
Ok, this is not exactly good news for anyone who has an interest in Irish film. Initially the author thought that funding to the IFB had risen by 4 per cent to €2.54m over the 2011 figure. This has now been kindly clarified by the IFB: the 4 per cent rise is in admin funding only. Capital funding has been reduced by over €3 million from the 2011 figure. This is perhaps expected in worsening economic times. This is not great news of course for filmmakers looking for funding for their respective projects. But with the success of The Guard in 2011 and two Irish films being accepted into Sundance this year (Grabbers and Shadow Dancer) the IFB is working hard at maintaining high standards for the coming year. Time will tell how much this reduction will effect the Irish film industry, but working harder to achieve more with less has become the standard in Ireland these last few years.
Unfortunately this means that the list ends on a slightly down note. But my optimism for Irish film in 2012 is undiminished. For me, beginning the year with two Irish films in a major festival is a great beginning to a very interesting year for Irish film. I would like to hear other people's thoughts on this as I believe it is important to debate the good and the bad in this area. Of course, like anything to do with film, luck will be needed to help makes these various projects a success. For all the optimism for 2012 there is also the chance that the ones listed above will not be quite as good or successful as we hope they would be. But I am equally sure there will be something that I have not mentioned here which could come out and be a success. Let me know what you think that will be below.

How Twitter misleads us about how many people have left — and what to do about it
Social feeds are engines for distorting social understanding. Here's how to push back against the algorithm.

Why are so many people staying on Twitter, even after the company gutted its child safety team, struggled with information security problems, violated user privacy for political ends, and brought nazis back to the platform?
To outside observers, it can seem like Twitter users are continuing as before, seemingly unaware of the millions of people who have left. "You left Twitter?" a friend recently remarked, "I hadn't noticed." Yet many of the accounts I follow haven't tweeted in ages, and roughly 15% of them have already set up accounts on Mastodon. (I'm at @natematias@social.coop)
By filling feeds with a continuous stream of voices, platforms create the illusion that the room is full when many people have already left
How can so many people be unaware of a mass exodus from the platform? One reason is that social media feeds are designed to mislead us about the average opinions and behaviors of the people in our lives. The distorting effects of Twitter's timeline and algorithm cause people to stay on the platform by making it seem like life continues as normal, despite the wasteland they occupy.
How can this happen? One answer lies in social norms. As a scientist, I study the relationship between algorithms and collective behavior— especially when social norms escalate online violence or prevent it. When people make decisions about how to behave, we think about the different groups that matter to us, guess how they will respond, and adjust our behaviors in response. Decades of research in social psychology have shown that while it's hard to change someone's mind, it's much easier to influence behavior by changing people's understanding of what's common or expected.
As a business, social media is an engine for influencing behavior by shaping our beliefs about others. That's one argument that Sinan Aral makes in his 2021 book The Hype Machine. When people see multiple friends voting in elections, taking on eating disorders, donating to charities, or joining a genocide, we start to believe that it's common and expected. Whether or not the social feed has misled us about how common those behaviors are, we're still more likely to follow suit.
Social media feeds are designed to mislead us about the opinions and behaviors of the people in our lives
Whatever the algorithm, the feed itself creates the simplest, most misleading distortion from social media. By giving us a continuous stream of voices, platforms create the illusion that the room is full when many people have already left. If you leave a lecture, the room will have a visible absence. Leave a social media platform, and the feed will fill the empty space with something else.
Overcoming Twitter's Distorting Influence
How can we overcome the distorting influence of social media feeds to make it clear that more people are leaving Twitter? The answer can be found in a classic idea from social science: threshold models of collective behavior.
In "Threshold Models of Collective Behavior," Mark Granovetter pointed out that people often need to see a certain number of other people take an action before they're willing to do the same. That can be hard when people's beliefs or views are unknown to each other. Consider this example I show to my undergraduate class at Cornell, with a network of blue smileys and orange smileys.
Illustrating the Threshold Model of Collective Action. Image by Drew Margolin
In this example, five orange smiley faces are all willing to take some kind of action. But they each have a threshold of others they need to see act first. When the network is controlled by an entity that prevents them from seeing each other, only one person does anything, and no one sees it. That's the current situation with Twitter.
We typically think of social media platforms as systems that enable collective action by making like-minded people visible to each other, as pointed out by Jackson, Bailey and Welles in their book #HashtagActivism. The opposite can also happen — platforms also prevent collective action by making departures invisible.
When people try to leave, social media platforms are designed to instantly fill in the empty chairs with more voices from the algorithm. That's also why Twitter has banned people who mention competing services, added more people you don't follow to the feed, and show (unreliable) view metrics on every tweet in a desperate attempt to convince people to stay.
So how can we make our departures more visible to others and encourage the same? One powerful idea from Daniel Gillmor is to set up the equivalent of an "out of office" message on Twitter.
If you have left entirely, post a message about your departure once or twice a day.
Even if you are still posting to Twitter, it's still worth pointing people to other places where you have set up accounts, so they can follow you elsewhere
If enough of us do this, our departures will be more visible, and more people will realize this and follow suit as their threshold for action is met.
How to Create an Out-of-Office Note on Twitter
In a discussion on Mastodon, Darius Kazemi made a great suggestion for how to quickly and easily set up an out-of-office note. Cheap Bots Done Quick is a service that will automatically tweet a custom message for you on a regular schedule.
Log into the site with your Twitter account
Customize the text
Tell it how often to post your out-of-office message
If you want to add variety to your message, Cheap Bots Done Quick allows you to create a template that will cycle through different combinations of phrases when tweeting the announcement. Feel free to copy and edit my version.
Achieving a Better Social Media Ecosystem
While I've decided to move to social.coop on Mastodon, I agree that all our digital environments are feeling polluted and exploited — just as our rivers must have seemed in the era before conservation. I understand why people have accepted living in a digital trashfire — and if they're online at all — staying wherever the audience seems to be. That's why it's so important to make our departures visible, so people can see there are other options.
It's going to take collective effort to imagine and achieve a better vision for social media. That's our vision at the Citizens and Technology Lab, where we organize community/citizen science for a world where digital power is guided by evidence and accountable to the public.
Just like scientists and communities work together to understand our rivers, air, and biodiversity, CAT Lab works with communities to understand our digital environments. I hope this post helps people see one small way that science can help us achieve a better ecosystem, and start putting it into action.

A quick overview of JPA Mapped Superclasses.
A mapped superclass provides persistent entity state and mapping information but is not itself an entity.
A mapped superclass, unlike an entity, does not allow querying, persisting, or relationships to the superclass.
@MappedSuperclass annotation is used to designate a class as mapped superclass.
All mappings annotation can be used on the root class except for @Entity. Also persistent relationships defined by a mapped superclass must be unidirectional.
Mapping information may be overridden in the subclasses by using the @AttributeOverride and @AssociationOverride annotations.
Both abstract and concrete classes may be specified as mapped superclasses.
It is similar to table per class inheritance but no table joins or inheritance exists in data model. There's no table for the mapped superclass. Inheritance only exists in object model.
The main disadvantage of using mapped superclass is that we cannot load all entities (subclasses) represented by the mapped superclass, i.e., polymorphic queries are not possible.
Note that, we cannot create a JPQL query like 'select t from Employee t' which can load all subclasses. That is only possible when we use an inheritance strategy: SINGLE_TABLE or JOINED. or TABLE_PER_CLASS.


Once thought of as an alternative "hippie" practice, meditation has grown in stature and popularity to become mainstream and an accepted part of a wellness regime for the modern age. Meditation is simple and powerful. Meditation is an effective stress-relief technique for people from all walks of life. In fact, meditation is so powerful it can actually lower your blood pressure and may even improve your immune system.
Meditation may be associated with a religion but can also be a secular practice. There are many techniques associated with meditation but at the heart of meditation is one common idea – that narrowing the focus quiets the mind and helps the body be still.
Recent studies show that meditation improves your physical response to stress and also strengthens your emotional response to stress. Stress is a major player in most diseases and health conditions – when you suffer from stress you are more likely to suffer from disease as well as suffer the symptoms of disease more strongly. Regularly meditating lessens the impact of stress so it is a powerful technique for improving health.
How Do You Start a Meditation Practice?
A quiet space – meditation is easier for beginners when it takes place in a quiet area free from distractions.
A comfortable posture – you may meditate while sitting or lying down, or even walking.
Focused attention – when you meditate you usually focus your attention on something such as a mantra (a word or a set of words), an object like a candle or a picture, or the flow of the breath.
Open attitude – when meditating it is important to let thoughts and feelings come and go without focusing on them or judging them. If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your focus – the breath, or your mantra.
Start a meditation practice by meditating for a few minutes each day, gradually building the time until you are spending 20 or 30 minutes each day on the practice for the greatest health benefits.


Our history is still very apparent and here for us to discover. There are exceptionally old remains of both religious orders and defensible positions, old burial tombs and standing stones marking places of worship or memorials to the even more distant past. High Island, just a short journey out from our home port, is home to one of the ancient fifth century monasteries that housed much of Europe's wealth of learning during the dark ages and beyond. There are remains of Viking settlements and forts along this Western shore such as Dun Na Hinne or Fort of the Fair on Inishbofin Island, many castles and towers, fortified manors and homes of the Celtic families, and barracks built for the subjugation of those people. In Connemara and Mayo The O'Malleys, and the O'Flahertys were two of the highly influential families. Each had their tower houses, island fortresses and look out positions in this area. Most famous of the sea faring families must be the O'Malleys who were centred in a costal position from Bunowen Castle in the south of Connemara to their Castle on Clare Island and including Rockfleet Castle in Clew Bay, a short journey north from our home port. As a figure plucked from the pages of our history, Grace O'Malley or Grainemhaoil must be the outstanding individual hell bent on maintaining her position here. She was by no means the starter of resistance or exploitation of her area, her father before her had built a great trading fleet together with a multi layered defence and highly effective offensive fleet to extract a share from trading vessels along this coast. As a young girl Grace travelled with him learning the ways of the seas, understanding the need for trade and thus travelling to some very distant foreign shores. Navigation, seamanship and above all earning her right to rule her extended family and followers were what shaped her early years.
Her exploits as both a legendary beauty and as the unrivalled Pirate Queen, left her with many enemies, not least the Crown authorities of Elizabeth 1st. She was even brought as far as the executioners scaffold before being pardoned by her adversary in London. More astonishingly she sailed to London with her fleet and met with the Queen of England and her great adviser Sir Francis Walsingham. Clearly some understanding was hammered out between them as Grace was for the most part left alone to operate in her usual manner for some time after that. Most of her fortifications are still here to be seen and explored and there are many exhibitions to her extraordinary abilities and colourful history.
Of our remaining Tudor and Stewart influences, out on the island of Inishbofin is the most recent of our historic fortifications built by Cromwell's order as a barracks and fortified position in the hope of subjugating those Celtic families that had ruled the waves in these areas for centuries. A degree of success was established and an element of control engineered before these barracks fell into disuse and life reverted in one fashion or another to a more traditional manor of 'modern' behaviour.

Sustainable maintenance and renovation of façades on generic multi-apartment buildings from late 1950s through 70s constitute vital challenges for the housing companies owned by City of Göteborg. These challenges comprise a wide array of issues, such as deterioration and damages in occurring façade materials, status assessments, technical improvements, reduction of energy consumption, and up-keeping of housing qualities and tenants attraction. Thus, new approaches to data-acquisition are called for. The presented Documentation and Maintenance Planning model (DoMaP) is a proposal for a new approach to acquisition of various types of data from façades of modern generic multi-apartment buildings. The DoMaP model aims at substantial contribution to stringent status assessment of façades, and thus, to enable long-term maintenance planning, providing adequate conditions for integrated sustainable conservation. The DoMaP model is based mainly on optical techniques (i.e. metric as well as non-metric). Techniques for air pollution monitoring, and for material analysis are included in the DoMaP configuration. The benefits of this new comprehensive approach to data-acquisition may be summarised in provisions for increase both of efficiency (i.e. resource utilisation) and effectiveness (i.e. productivity and quality) of façade-maintenance operations, thus also contributing to sustain technical service-life and functions of residential structures. Finally, it is important to stress that information provided by the DoMaP-approach would be of relevance to identify characteristics of built environments, and thus contributing to any process of valorisation of built environments.

Older Professionals Cannot Be Discriminated Against Because Of Their Age
Baby boomers are part of a thriving professional workforce in South Florida and in other parts of the nation. Unlike previous generations, we will not, as the poet Dylan Thomas said, "Go gentle into that good night" when an employer tries to push us out the door. Many of us will "rage, rage against the dying of the light" — and fight back.
At The Amlong Firm, in Fort Lauderdale, we understand that many employers discriminate against employees because of their age. Fortunately, our attorneys are aggressive advocates who are here to help when you are a victim of age discrimination, including cases of wrongful termination and failure to promote based on age.
We will do everything possible, including going to trial, to ensure that your rights are protected should your boss engage in age discrimination. We pride ourselves on being experienced, effective litigators. Call our office today at 954-519-2235 and schedule a consultation. You can also reach us online.
Age Discrimination Is About Costs, Not Competence
Age discrimination has roots in one of the most deeply held stereotypes in the workplace. Many employers believe that workers become less competent as they get older. In practice, age discrimination has little to do with competence and much to do with costs. Age discrimination is a convenient way for employers to terminate employees whose salaries and benefit costs are higher than those of younger employees. As companies downsize and outsource, older workers in their 40s, 50s and 60s are the ones who are most likely to be laid off when there is a reduction in the workforce.
Many people in their 50s and 60s now were activists in college, and they have a heightened awareness of their rights. These boomers are not going to put up with being marginalized or discriminated against at work based on stereotypes about age. We stopped the Vietnam War; what would make anyone think we are not going to stop age discrimination?
Forms Of Age Discrimination In Your Workplace
Age discrimination can take many forms, ranging from termination to simple harassment. For instance, employers often make incredibly insensitive remarks toward older workers. People who would never call a black person "boy" call an older man "gramps." They also say things such as "Why are you working this hard at your age?" or "Shouldn't you think about retirement?" As lawyers with a passion for trying employment law cases, we love evidence like this.
Courts and juries are increasingly sympathetic to age discrimination claims. Only half the world is of a certain gender, and much smaller percentages belong to particular racial, ethnic or religious categories. Everyone, however, gets older. Almost every potential juror knows someone who has been laid off just because he or she is over the age of 50.
Waiver Of ADEA Rights In Exchange For A Severance Package
The ADEA allows you to waive certain rights at your employer's request in exchange for a severance package or any other consideration. If your employer asks you to waive these rights, consult a lawyer before you sign any documents. The ADEA has specific criteria to fulfill to ensure your waiver is valid. Your employer must provide it in writing and it must be clearly comprehensible, and must:
Enumerate your specific rights under the ADEA that are being waived
Not include waiver of your future claims or rights
Advise you to confer with a lawyer prior to signing
Give you 21 days to review the waiver
Give you seven days grace period to revoke the waiver after it is signed
If your employer asks you to waive your ADEA rights in exchange for a severance package, please consult with us to be sure your waiver will stand the test of time.
Contact An Employment Law Attorney Who Has The Skills You Need
Professional employees and applicants for jobs have the right to an employment relationship without age discrimination. From hiring, compensation, benefits, training, promotion to firing, state laws work in tandem with the federal ADEA to protect workers over 40 years old from any adverse action on the job based on their age. If you are 40 or over and believe you have experienced workplace discrimination because of your age, call The Amlong Firm in Fort Lauderdale today. We will aggressively protect your rights. Email us or call our office in Fort Lauderdale at 954-519-2235.

Karen provided me with all of the information needed to enable me to make sound decisions supported by her recommendations each step of the way. Her strategy and control of the process resulted in a fair settlement without having to go through a trial by jury.
At the end of the day, I trust Karen Amlong. Her knowledge and experience is evident. She kept me and my best interests in the forefront at all times and everything we discussed during our initial consult ended up being spot on, even the timeline..
Regardless of how hard the opposition pushed, the Amlong Firm dug in, and defended even harder. The Amlong Firm not only fought on behalf of myself, but also for my family in regards to the harm they suffered.
Fighting for justice is exhausting. When the other lawyer is playing dirty tricks, it's reassuring to know that The Amlong Firm has gone all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for justice for for a client – and they won.
My phone calls always were answered, my questions and concerns were dealt with promptly. Knowing I had competent, respected representation at this very stressful time was step one in moving on.
The decision to obtain Karen Amlong was the best choice I could have made dealing with my case. I highly recommend this attorney for anyone who is looking for a strong, aggressive attorney.

Can the Helix mattress help couples sleep together?
Home » Can the Helix mattress help couples sleep together?
Sleeping with another personal can cause a lot of stress, even if you love them dearly. Not everyone's sleep habits and preferences mesh with each other. In fact, it's found that 25% of couples do not sleep in the same bed. At Mattress Clarity, when we think about the best mattress for couples, we were speaking more generally in that some mattresses better suit two people. However we've heard some interesting anecdotes from Helix Sleep that says the mattress has actually struck a chord with couples due to the personalization options.
Helix Sleep has a mattress showroom in NYC that lets people stop in and learn more about the mattress. The founders were pleasantly surprised to learn that couples were especially drawn to the mattress because you can personalize each side of the mattress.
Many couples wandering into the showroom and buying online have been very interested in this unique aspect of the Helix. There are a number of other mattress companies that will let you personalize the mattress (Sleep Number for one), but they are all substantially more expensive.
I liked the personalization option when I first heard about Helix, but didn't immediately think of the benefits for couples. It will be interesting to see how other mattress shoppers will utilize the personalization options of Helix as this new company continues to expand.

Schools in at least 6 N.J. districts announce schedule changes over student, staff COVID-19 cases
By Noah Cohen | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Find all of the most important pandemic education news on Educating N.J., a special resource guide created for parents, students and educators. As schools reopen across N.J., we want to know what is and isn't working. Tell us about it here.
At least six New Jersey school districts have announced schedule changes just days into the academic year in response to coronavirus cases among students and staff.
Schools in the state were allowed to reopen for a hybrid of in-person teaching and online learning, all-remote learning or fully reopen under specific guidelines in response to the pandemic. Meanwhile, reports of students and staff infected with the contagious pathogen have prompted in districts to adapt their plans.
As of Sunday, the following school districts reported some form of scheduling change because of COVID-19 concerns:
Frankford Township (Sussex County): The district opened using a hybrid of in-person and remote classes, but is temporarily switching to virtual instruction after a student tested positive for the coronavirus, officials said. The test result was reported Friday. In a letter to parents, Frankford Township Superintendent Braden Hirsch said the district, which has one pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school with an enrollment of about 500, would move to remote learning for for two weeks out of an abundance of caution.
Griebling Elementary School in Howell: The school switched to remote instruction for 14 days after a person in the Howell School District tested positive for the coronavirus, according to a letter from school officials to parents.
Markham Place School in Little Silver: In a letter to parents, Superintendent Michael Ettore said a student at the Markham Place School had tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, students in cohort A of the sixth grade should stay home from school as of Thursday until further notice for remote learning, he said last week. "The District is coordinating closely with local public health officials and following CDC, state, and local health department guidance to ensure the health and safety of our community," Ettore said in the letter. "Cleaning and disinfecting of all exposed areas has been completed."
Chatham High School: Chatham High School on Wednesday announced it switched to remote learning two days into the district's planned hybrid school year after a student tested positive for the coronavirus. "This case may be linked to a non-school event that took place over the holiday weekend and about which we communicated with our local public health officials yesterday and earlier today," Chatham Superintendent Michael LaSusa said.
Middlesex County Vocational and Technical Schools in East Brunswick: A freshman at Middlesex County Vocational and Technical Schools campus in East Brunswick campus tested positive for the coronavirus, officials announced last week. The campus is going virtual until Sept. 21. The county vo-tech school system also has campuses in Edison, Perth Amboy, Piscataway and Woodbridge. Those schools will remain open under a hybrid plan of in-person and remote learning.
Washington Township Public School District (Gloucester County): School officials announced Saturday that three district staff members tested positive for the coronavirus. Hurffville Elementary School, which had two of the staff cases, will be closed for the next fourteen days. Washington Township High School, which had one staff member test positive, also suspended in-person classes this week with the exception of some special education students. Remote learning will be used temporarily instead of the planned hybrid schedule. The district released more details in a letter on its website.
The New Jersey Department of Health issued several matrices to help schools decide if and when they should ask students to quarantine or shut down school buildings if someone tests positive for COVID-19.

Dish TV India Limited Partners with HANDAN & ALi Corporation to Launch Hybrid Solution to Realize Next-Generation TV Experience
Taipei, Noida and Seoul – January 30th, 2019 – ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) chipset provider, Dish TV India Limited, India's largest Direct-to-Home (DTH) operator, and HANDAN, the leading supplier of multimedia and home entertainment devices in Korea, proudly announced that they have further extended their partnership by launching the latest hybrid solution, "Dish Box" to enrich TV experience for subscribers in India. The new set-top box developed by the partnership will be highly connected to enable OTT (over-the-top) viewing entertainment.
Dish TV India Limited, being the leader in DTH service and TV distribution in India, is expanding its OTT offerings by introducing Dish Connected Box to allow subscribers to enjoy both DVB TV broadcasting and OTT contents.
ALi Corp.'s secure value SoC (system on chip) was chosen due to its wide compliance with mainstream CAS (conditional access system) security features, ideal for DVB-S2 Pay TV applications. In this joint collaboration, the secure SoC was adopted as the core of the Dish Connected Box to integrate OTT Apps, developed by Handan. The integration of hardware, software and middleware will enable subscribers to view both OTT apps and DVB-broadcasted contents.
"Set-top boxes must be able to consume multimedia contents, like TV, videos, and even radio programs broadcasted through Internet protocol. This is the trend that TV set-top boxes must be connected", said Daniel Huang, CEO of ALi Corp. "We foresee the future that set-top boxes shall consume streamed contents over various streaming protocols. Thus, we are pleased that Dish TV India Limited partners with us to develop the hybrid solutions integrating WiFi connectivity and Google Widevine DRM. In fact, our SoC packs multiple features which can shorten the development time and accelerate the time-to-market process".
"As always, ALi Corp. has been a highly trusted and dedicated partner for us", said V.K. Gupta, COO of Dish TV India Limited. "We are confident that our Connected Box will change the way multimedia contents are consumed. In fact, we will work with ALi to further enrich the Connected Box through further hardware-software integration, for it to go cloud".
"Handan is glad to take part in the joint partnership to develop the latest hybrid Connected Box. This time, we are pleased to implement OTT Apps so that subscribers will be able to view both DVB and OTT contents," said Y. Lee, CEO of HANDAN. "We will continue our dedication to work with ALi Corp. and Dish TV India Limited to expand market penetration in India".

From time-to-time, we all need a little help.
Sometimes we need someone to be the sounding board we bounce ideas off. Other times we need help getting over some hump that's keeping us from getting more clients. And then there are the times when we want to take our business to the next level; to re-focus our business model, launch a new program or manage a campaign.
I know this has been true for me. And I'm going to guess it's true for you too.
But it's not always easy to know who you should turn to for help. Like me, you want to trust anyone who's advising you on your business. At the same time, you want to feel confident and at ease when you talk with each other. Yet most importantly you want a business advisor who you communicate well with, who's patient and who listens to your needs.
It's these reasons, along with others, that I want to offer you a FREE 20-minute advisory session.
No kidding. I'm here to help you. You may use our 20 minutes together to discuss anything you like. I won't make any sales pitches nor any type of hard sell on our call. This time is about you!
If we are a good a fit – meaning if you think I can help you solve the problems you face in your business or with your web presence – we can talk about what it will look like to work together – including pricing. And if not, then we won't. Either way, I'm making myself available to you so you can get solutions to some of your business problems.

Cisco adds broadband aggregation to edge routers
Jim Duffy (Computerworld)
Cisco Systems has added broadband aggregation capabilities to its edge routers.
Service providers can now use Cisco's 7200, 7400 and 10000 series Internet routers for both leased-line and broadband aggregation. Applications that can now be supported on the platforms include Dynamic Bandwidth Selection, which allows end users to increase throughput on demand for high-bandwidth applications, like video on demand.
Another is Service Selection Gateway, which enables carriers to provide customized and branded portals for end users for promoting access to services, such as movies or games. Cisco is also providing Per User Network-based Firewall capabilities, which gives end users the ability to select different levels of firewall protection for individual family members or employees.
The end user can now create sub-accounts for family members, subscribe to age-appropriate services, provide allowance for gaming services and set policies on hours of use and time of day, Cisco says.
The enhancements will enable Cisco to better compete against the union of Juniper and Unisphere, which as separate companies collectively stole 30 percent of the edge router market from Cisco over the past two years, according to market research firm Current Analysis.
Now that Juniper is acquiring Unisphere, Cisco needs to better assert itself in the market. But gaining back that 30 percent share is not a given, the research firm states.
"This market is where Cisco has lost the most market share, and with Juniper's acquisition of Unisphere, Cisco may suffer further market share losses," Current Analysis states. "Cisco must also contend with a revitalized Redback (now allied with Nokia) and savvy start-ups such as Laurel and Allegro."
The broadband aggregation additions also do not address the density shortcomings of the 7x00 series, Current Analysis says in a recent report. Cisco's 7x00 series edge routers offer the lowest T-1/E-1 density and scalability on the market, a factor that is easily exploited by rival vendors in this space, the firm states.
The 10000 series, meanwhile, has been an enigma in this market. Cisco claims to have over 100 customers for the 10000, but the only announced wins are KPN and Qwest.
Competitors, meanwhile, say the 10000 never shows up in bids and isn't considered a competitive offering by carriers.
Cisco begs to differ.
"We've not lost opportunities to Unisphere or Juniper," says Enzo Signore, senior director of marketing for the Subscriber Edge Group at Cisco. "We have to match the 7500 (series router) benchmark. The 10000 is the closest match."
Cisco's 7500 series router is perhaps the most widely deployed router in the industry in both enterprise and service provider accounts.
Still, the lack of information around the 10000 leaves Cisco vulnerable, Current Analysis states.
"Cisco has been very quiet about the market success of the 10000," its report says. "Only two (accounts) have been publicly announced, giving rivals latitude to downplay the significance of the deployments in the remaining accounts due to the lack of public information sources."
The new broadband aggregation features on the 7200, 7400 and 10000 series routers are currently available.


Master Class from Sumi Tonooka on Vimeo.
The structure of this class allows students the opportunity to work closely with a composer, perform the material, and ask questions.
Students play and perform original Sumi Tonooka compositions arranged for big band and smaller ensembles.
Students have the opportunity to create a spontaneous composition of their own. They develop creative ways of exploring the composing of a piece, musical parameters are set around rhythm, feel, emotion or a storyline.
The class works together to address questions and issues that arise around improvisation, melody, harmony and rhythm. Topics of discussion include creativity, imagination, inspiration, motivation, and ways to support being and believing in ones own musical vision.
I typically set aside the last fifteen minutes of the class for an informal question and answer period allowing students the opportunity to learn more about my life as a jazz pianist composer.
In my late teens and early twenties, I had the honor and privilege of studying with the great pianist composer Mary Lou Williams.
In this class I demonstrate Mary Lou Williams' compositions and discuss my personal experience working with Mary Lou and the ways that she influenced me as a young pianist and composer. I demonstrate blues and piano styles including Boogie-Woogie, stride piano, and Avant-garde, all features of Mary Lou's work.
Typically, I perform and discuss Williams, Dirge Blues, Waltz Boogie, etc as well as original compositions directly influenced by Mary Lou Williams, such as Uganda Blues and One For Mary Lou. Students may volunteer to perform and work on some of this material for the benefit of the entire group.
This class is based upon two original works, Out From The Silence and Taiko Jazz Project. The class views and discusses these works via excerpts from the film Susumu and video of Taiko Jazz Project.
Susumu, directed and produced by Gei Zantzinger, documents the compositional process of Out From The Silence, written as a tribute to my mother Emi Tonooka, who was imprisoned along with 110,000 other Japanese-Americans at the Manzanar internment camp near Lone Pine, California after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The music tells the story of the Tonooka family before, during, and after the World War II. Out From The Silence combines the American esthetic with that of the Japanese by interweaving the zealous patriotism of the era with the big-band style, introducing instruments and rules that make music Japanese in character, and combining this with jazz sensibilities.
Taiko Jazz Project composed to feature master Taiko drummer Kenny Endo, in a collaborative musical adventure, along with Robin Eubanks on trombone, Stanton Davis on trumpet, Robert Kenmotsu on tenor sax, John Blake on violin, Kiyoshi Kitagawa on bass, Akira Tana on drums and Yukio Tsugi on japanese percussion. The piece explores jazz in combination with Japanese Taiko rhythms. The work is structured as a suite of eight pieces set to the eight trigrams of the I Ching. The National Endowment for the Arts commissioned and funded Taiko Jazz Project, which was filmed live in performance with Out From The Silence at The Tribeca Performing Arts Center on December 17th 1993.
This class is team-taught by Sumi Tonooka and Erica Lindsay. We are composers, jazz instrumentalists, band leaders and educators who have performed together extensively and collaborated on recording projects. We enjoy sharing our perspective as professional women in the music business and discussing various challenges and opportunities we have encountered living the jazz life.
The class includes performance and discussion of selected original compositions. Other topics of discussion typically include, the origins of our collaboratively led quartet, the making and production of our latest recording "Initiation," and the business model and concept of our successful online subscription music label, Artists Recording Collective.

It is a member of the 2C-x family of psychedelic phenethylamines, all of which were derived from the systematic modification of the mescaline molecule. 2C-T-2 was first synthesized and tested for activity in humans by Alexander Shulgin in 1981 and described in his 1991 book PiHKAL ("Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved"). It is a member of the so-called "magical half-dozen" which refers to Shulgin's self-rated most important phenethylamine-derived compounds, all of which except mescaline he developed and synthesized himself.
They are found within the first book of PiHKAL, and are as follows: mescaline, DOM, 2C-B, 2C-E, 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-7. Anecdotal reports generally characterize 2C-T-2 as a highly dose sensitive psychedelic known for its open headspace and unpredictable body load. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 2C-T-2, and it has a relatively short history of human usage.
Many reports also indicate that its physical effects may be too severe for those who are not already experienced with psychedelics or suffer from pre-existing physical conditions. It is highly advised to approach this hallucinogenic substance with the proper amount of precaution and harm reduction practices if using it.
Following the initial positive results found by Shulgin's research group, a more formal study was carried out by psychedelic psychotherapy pioneer Myron J. Stolaroff who was interested in evaluating the potential use of 2C-T-2 in psychotherapy. Based on the experiences of forty participants in the study who took 2C-T-2, Stolaroff compared the effects favorably to MDMA, describing it as more emotionally opening and permitting a wider exploration of feelings and thoughts.
2C-T-2 belongs to the 2C family of phenethylamines which contain methoxy functional groups CH3O- attached to carbons R2 and R5 of the benzene ring.
2C-T-2 is also substituted at R4 with an ethyl thioether group. 2C-T-2 is a close structural analogue of 2C-T-7; the two differ by the length of the alkane chain in their thioether functional group.
