In response to the critics of capitalism, many conservative Christians turn to philosopher Ayn Rand for ammunition. Rand was a staunch defender of capitalism, but also an anti-Christian atheist who argued that capitalism was based on greed. Greed, for Rand, is good. But if Rand is right, then Christians can't be capitalists, because greed is a sin. Fortunately, Rand was wrong. She missed the subtleties of capitalism. First, we should distinguish self-interest from selfishness. Adam Smith, the father of capitalism, famously wrote, "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." True enough; but that alone isn't a problem. Every time you wash your hands or look both ways before you cross the street, you're pursuing your self-interest—but neither activity is selfish. Second, Smith never argued that the more selfish we are, the better a market works. His point, rather, is that in a free market, each of us can pursue ends within our narrow sphere of competence and concern—our "self-interest"—and yet an order will emerge that vastly exceeds anyone's deliberations. Finally, Smith argued that capitalism channels greed, which is a good thing. The point is that even if the butcher is selfish, he can't make you buy his meat. He has to offer you meat at a price you'll willingly buy. So capitalism doesn't need greed. What it does need is rule of law, freedom, and human creativity and initiative. And we can point that out without any help from Ayn Rand.
If you're over forty, you probably remember the 1987 movie Wall Street. Kirk Douglas played the key role, a ruthless corporate raider named Gordon Gekko. Gekko is famous for his defense of selfishness: "Greed…is good," he tells a young broker. "Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all its forms…has marked the upward surge of mankind." Gekko embodies the enduring stereotype of the greedy businessman.
Given the coverage of the current financial crisis, it's no surprise that Twentieth Century Fox is now producing a sequel. Many people, including many Christians, believe that the crisis is the product of greedy capitalism—pure and simple. Others, including many Christians, want to defend capitalism, but end up drawing on the work of philosopher and playwright Ayn Rand, who called greed a virtue. That puts most of us between the proverbial rock and the hard place.
As if in response, some prominent evangelicals such as Tony Campolo, Jim Wallis, and Ron Sider have criticized capitalism as based on the "greed principle" (to quote Campolo).1 And it's hard to blame them, since even many fans of capitalism, such as Rand, seem to agree. And certainly for Christians, greed is not good. Greed, selfishness, or "avarice" is one of the seven deadly sins, and the Bible has nothing good to say about it. In the Gospels, when Jesus was asked to settle an inheritance dispute, He responded: "Watch Out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions" (Luke 12:15 TNIV). The Tenth Commandment says, "Do not covet," which no doubt applies to greed as well. Jesus includes greed with murder and adultery in a long list of sins (Mark 7:21– 22). Paul tells the Ephesians that no greedy person—"that is, an idolater," he explains—will inherit the kingdom of God (Eph. 5:5 ESV). These are just a few of the dozens of biblical passages condemning greed.
So what do we do? Must we embrace Rand's anti-Christian philosophy to defend capitalism? Or must we reject capitalism because it's based on greed? I don't think we have to do either. The truth is much more interesting, and much more encouraging.
Rand wasn't the first one to identify capitalism with greed. That honor goes to a Dutchman named Bernard Mandeville. In 1705, he wrote a poem called The Fable of the Bees. Nobody noticed it. So in 1714, he republished it with a lengthy commentary explaining that the poem was a metaphor for English society. Mandeville saw humans and bees as little more than bundles of vicious passions. The Parable reflected that belief.
In the beehive, different bees do different tasks, but they all have the same motivation—vice. The poem describes avarice, pride, and vanity as producing great wealth for the hive. The bees, however, are discontent. They grumble at the lack of virtue around them. They gripe so incessantly that Jove eventually gives them what they ask for. Honesty and virtue now fill the hive. And everything collapses. The bees' virtuous actions led to disaster whereas the individual acts of evil had led to social good.
Taken literally, Mandeville's claim is ridiculous. Good doesn't come from evil. Virtue isn't born from vice. Virtue doesn't destroy society. Still, he did get one thing right: bad intentions don't always yield bad results. Recall that the Apostle Paul once delighted that some were preaching the gospel out of envy of him. He didn't delight in the envy, but in the preaching. So even private sinful acts may lead to a social good.
After Mandeville came the Scottish philosopher Adam Smith, who in 1776 wrote the most famous book in the history of economics, The Wealth of Nations. Though the book is long on pages and detail, its basic purpose was simple. Smith wanted to defend what he called the natural system of liberty: rule of law, unobtrusive government, private property, specialization of labor, and free trade. To prosper, a society needed "little else," he said, "but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice."2 But so far from flattering the business class, Smith famously said that "people of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."3 Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Smith never credited the happy outcomes of trade and business to the virtues of business people. "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker," he wrote, only to be quoted by every economics textbook ever written, "that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."4 Nevertheless, through the invisible hand of the market, individuals will "promote an end which is no part of [their] intention."5 That end often benefits society overall.
If you don't read Smith carefully, you might think that he's making the same argument as Mandeville: individual greed is good for society. That's a misreading of Smith, which was made wildly popular by Ayn Rand.
Perhaps more than anyone else, Ayn Rand not only identified capitalism with greed, but defended it in those terms. She even wrote a book called The Virtue of Selfishness.6 For Rand, greed was the basis for a free economy. Capitalism and greed go together like fat cats and big cigars. To prevent readers from thinking she was using hyperbole, Rand went out of her way to espouse atheism and stridently denounce Christian altruism as antithetical to capitalism: "Capitalism and altruism are incompatible," she said, "they are philosophical opposites; they cannot co-exist in the same man or in the same society."7 In fact, she had a hard time distinguishing Christian altruism from socialism.
Rand was born in Russia in 1905 as Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, and immigrated to the United States in 1925, just as communism was securing its stranglehold on the Soviet Union. Her hatred of the collectivism she saw in her youth was etched into her worldview, her writings, even her strange personality. After coming to the U.S., she worked as a script writer in various Hollywood studios. The release of her novel The Fountainhead in 1943 made her famous. Atlas Shrugged, published in 1957, made her a sensation.
But for millions of readers, her books still inspire. I discovered Rand during my senior year in college. Her books were like a blow to the chest. She mercilessly skewered every leftist cliché that I had taken for granted. I found her bracing prose and iconic heroes attractive and repellant at the same time. For a few months, she seized me. I frittered away a week of my senior year reading Atlas Shrugged rather than studying for a German final.
The book tells about an elite group of creative entrepreneurs and inventors, "individuals of the mind," who go on strike against a state that implements the communist principle "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need." For Rand, these entrepreneurial heroes, like Atlas in Greek mythology, hold up the world. By pursuing their long-term self-interest, they create value for everyone. So when they shrug—that is, strike—society begins to decay.
The hero of Atlas Shrugged, John Galt, founds a secret community off the collectivist grid, called Galt's Gulch. Here in this New Jerusalem, individuality and self-interest are prized above all else. One long chapter of the book, "This is John Galt Speaking," is nothing but a speech by Galt. It's the perfect distillation of Rand's philosophy.
Despite Rand's official praise of selfishness, however, John Galt doesn't look anything like Ebenezer Scrooge or that fat, cigar-smoking, tuxedo-clad guy in Monopoly. On the contrary, Galt is a pioneer, a brave creator of wealth who pursues his vision despite powerful obstacles, including a malevolent state bent on destroying him. In fact, although Rand despised Christian self-sacrifice, Galt is suspiciously Christ-like. He preaches a message of salvation, founds a community, challenges the status quo and official powers-that-be, who hunt him down, torture him, but ultimately fail to conquer him.
To be sure, there are dissonant notes. His symbol is not a cross, but the dollar sign. The book ends with Galt and his lover tracing the sign of the dollar across a dry valley. But insofar as Galt's character works, it's because he contradicts the miserly stereotype that Rand's philosophy leads the reader to expect. In fact, not one of Rand's best fictional characters fits her philosophy very well.
Rand convinced me that collectivism was a false moral pretense. She also taught me the importance of entrepreneurs in creating wealth. Rand knew, better than some economists, that you can't have capitalism without capitalists. Rand continues to be popular with some conservatives, including some Christians. Based on my brief description of her work, that might seem unlikely. But the lack of robust moral defenses of capitalism has left a void. And for many, Rand has filled it.
That's a problem, of course, since her philosophy as a whole is clearly incompatible with the Christian worldview. Fortunately, we don't need Rand's philosophy to defend capitalism. Capitalism and Rand's defense of it are two different things. This is clear once you realize that Rand bought into a myth more common among critics of capitalism, that the essence of capitalism is greed.
Some thirty million books by Rand have been sold, and more than five-hundred thousand copies of her books are still sold every year. In a poll conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club in the 1990s, Atlas Shrugged came in second behind the Bible as the most influential book. Although her work is best known in the U.S., it's read around the world.
Perhaps it's not surprising that many conservatives, including many Christians, embrace her: they think they have nowhere else to go. Who but Rand made industrialists the heroes of novels? Whatever the reasons for her popularity, however, she completely missed the subtleties of capitalism. Her hatred of Marxism and collectivism led her to defend a caricature of capitalism more grotesque than anything Marx imagined.
Smith was a realist. He wasn't naïve about the motives of merchants and everyone else. In fact, like most academics, he harbored snobbish prejudices against business. He knew the difference, however, between self-interest and mere selfishness.12 Smith believed humans are a mixed breed. We are pulled to and fro by our whims and passions, but we're not a slave to them, since our passions can be checked by the "impartial spectator" of reason. We are capable of vices such as greed and virtues such as sympathy.
Unlike Mandeville, moreover, Smith didn't view all our passions as vicious. We may be passionately committed to a just cause, for instance. At the same time, he saw greed as a vice. So while he agreed with Mandeville that private vices could lead to public goods, he was an ardent critic of the Dutchman. "There is," he said, "another system which seems to take away altogether the distinction between vice and virtue, and of which the tendency is, upon that account, wholly pernicious: I mean the system of Dr. Mandeville."13 You'd never catch Smith endorsing Ayn Rand.
For Smith, pursuing your self-interest was not in itself immoral. Every second of the day, you act in your own interest. Every time you take a breath, wash your hands, eat your fiber, take your vitamins, look both ways before crossing the street, take a shower, pay your bills, go to the doctor, read a book, and pray for God's forgiveness, you're pursuing your self-interest. That's not just okay. In most cases, you ought to do these things.
Most of your choices involve the interests of others, too. Self-interest has to do with those things we know, value, and have some control over. I'm most responsible for what I do. Smith's point was not that the more selfish we are, the better a market works. His point, rather, is that in a free market, each of us can pursue ends within our narrow sphere of competence and concern—our "self-interest"—and yet an order will emerge that vastly exceeds anyone's deliberations.16 The same would be true, even if we did everything with godly rather than mixed motives. The central point is not our greed, but the limits to our knowledge. The market is a higher-level order that exceeds the knowledge of any and all of us.
So, contrary to Rand, capitalism doesn't need greed. At the same time, it can channel greed, which is all to the good. We should want a social order that channels proper self-interest as well as selfishness into socially desirable outcomes. Any system that requires everyone always to act selflessly is doomed to failure because it's utopian. That's the problem with socialism: it doesn't fit the human condition. It alienates people from their rightful self-interest and channels selfishness into socially destructive behavior such as stealing, hoarding, and getting the government to steal for you.
In contrast, capitalism is fit for real, fallen, limited human beings. "In spite of their natural selfishness and rapacity," Adam Smith wrote, business people "are led by an invisible hand…and thus without intending it, without knowing it, advance the interest of the society."17 Notice he says "in spite of." His point isn't that the butcher should be selfish, or even that his selfishness is particularly helpful. His point is rather that even if the butcher is selfish, even if the butcher would love nothing more than to sell you a spoiled chunk of grisly beef in exchange for your worldly goods and leave you homeless, the butcher can't make you buy his meat in a free economy. He has to offer you meat you'll freely buy. The cruel, greedy butcher, in other words, has to look for ways to set up win-win scenarios. Even to satisfy his greed, he has to meet your desires. The market makes this happen. That's making the best of a bad situation, and of a bad butcher.
DOES CAPITALISM MAKE PEOPLE GREEDY?
Even if capitalism doesn't need greed, doesn't it feed greed? Many religious scholars don't even distinguish capitalism and greed.18 Capitalism is just greed elevated to economics, or so they think. And if you happen to catch Donald Trump on The Apprentice, you might suspect they're on to something.
Of course Americans should be more generous, more loving, more thankful, more thoughtful, and less sinful. If you look, you can find greed all across the fruited plains and in every human heart. That's because we're fallen human beings, not because we're Americans or capitalists. Every culture and walk of life has heaping helpings of greedy people. There are greedy doctors, greedy social workers, greedy teachers, politicians, park rangers, and youth pastors. That's why greed can explain why capitalism works no better than it can explain the universal thirst for, say, well-synchronized traffic lights: greed is universal. Capitalism is not.
Think of a stereotypical miser like Ebenezer Scrooge (as opposed to the ordinary greedy person). Misers hoard their wealth. They hole up in their bedrooms, counting their gold bullion and hiding it in their mattresses. "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal," Jesus commanded His disciples, "but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven….For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Jesus is talking about the person who hoards, who trusts his possessions rather than God. "You cannot serve both God and money" (Matt. 6:19–21, 24 NIV). The Apostle Paul said that greed is idolatry (Eph. 5:5). If religion involves our "ultimate concern," as Paul Tillich said, then the miser is an idolater. He worships his money. That's because you can only have one ultimate concern.
Many of the biblical warnings seem to apply to misers, but how many misers have you met? Do you know anyone who keeps a bag of money in his mattress, where he can count it? Probably not. We see misers on TV, read about them in children's books and in Dickens. In capitalist societies, however, misers are in very short supply. That's because capitalism discourages miserliness, and encourages its near-opposite: enterprise.
"The grasping or hoarding rich man is the antithesis of capitalism, not its epitome," writes George Gilder, "more a feudal figure than a bourgeois one."20 The miser prefers the certainty and security of his booty. Entrepreneurs, in contrast, assume risk. They cast their bread on the waters of uncertainty, hoping that the bread will return with fish. They delay whatever gratification their wealth might provide now for the hope of future gain. The miser treats his bullion as an end in itself. The entrepreneur, whatever his motives—including the desire for more money—uses money as a tool. The carpenter uses hammer and saw; the doctor, scalpel and stethoscope; the entrepreneur, cash and credit.
Not for nothing did Ayn Rand dedicate her final lecture to a tirade against Gilder. But her view of the capitalist, in the end, was skewed by the Marxist stereotype she had officially rejected. Gilder's view captures much better the nature and subtlety of entrepreneurial capitalism.
I'm convinced that Ayn Rand continues to be popular, in part, because she dared to make entrepreneurs the heroes of her novels. Whatever her other failings, this was a keen insight. Without entrepreneurs, very little of what we take for granted in our economy and our everyday lives would exist. Here in my office, the concrete forms of entrepreneurial imagination are everywhere: paper, scissors, pens, highlighters, ink, CDs, an empty Tupperware container that held the pork loin I ate for lunch, a flat-screen monitor, fonts, lamps, light bulbs, Post-it notes, windows, sheet rock, speakers, a laptop computer, and an optical mouse. Behind all these visible objects lay real but less visible innovations in finance, manufacturing, and transport that I scarcely comprehend. All of these things are gifts of entrepreneurs. Only the most miserly moralizer could look at this mysterious efflorescence of cooperation, competition, and creativity—of entrepreneurial capitalism—and see only the dead hand of greed.
Does this mean that if you're a Christian, you must embrace capitalism? No. But it does mean that Christians don't need to adopt Ayn Rand's anti-Christian philosophy to defend the morality of capitalism. Once we comprehend the nature of entrepreneurial capitalism, we see that it has fit within the Christian worldview all along.

Carmen Spada graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music, in Boston, MA, obtaining a dual major in Piano Performance and Jazz Composition. While at Berklee, he earned the Berklee Achievement Scholarship, was nominated for the Boston Jazz Society Scholarship, represented Berklee internationally as a Student Ambassador and was the recipient of the 2007 Herb Pomeroy Award for excellence in Jazz Composition.
Upon graduation, Carmen established firm roots in the New England area music scene in both jazz and world music, and to this day continues to balance networking and performance opportunities between Boston and his hometown of Toronto, ON. Though firmly rooted in jazz and world music, Carmen has enjoyed pursuing and establishing his solo career in a unique jazz crossover to pop niche, due to his success as a songwriter. He won the 2010 Rose Theatre Singer/Songwriter competition in Brampton, ON for best original song and lyrics with "Why You Make Me Fall In Love With You", and was also awarded a creation grant from the Ontario Arts Council for his 2013 EP release, Buona Sera, featuring original songs and arrangements of Italian folk music for trio and sextet. His compositional style is currently focused on "contemporary standards": songs featuring the commercial appeal of jazz standards through form and lyrics, but with a deeper and contemporary approach to harmony and melody.
In 2016, Carmen co-founded B-Jazzed, a non-for-profit organization curating performances, education series, and philanthropy of jazz music and its musicians, in the city of Brampton. Serving as its Artistic Director, Carmen has managed weekly performances in Brampton such as Joe's Jazz Jam, Jazz @ J. Red & Co., and Sessions @ Studio 2, a monthly concert series featuring some of Canada's best jazz musicians. Most importantly, however, Carmen created and programs the annual World of Jazz Festival in Downtown Brampton, a two-day festival boasting two stages and over 90 musicians highlighting the diversity and multicultural interpretations of jazz music. In May, 2018, the City of Brampton recognized Carmen's work with B-Jazzed with an Arts Acclaim Citizens Award.

Action Kivu invests in the women, children and communities of Congo through vocational training and education, creating paths toward peace and prosperity.
Action Kivu is a U.S. non-profit, established in 2010. We partner with our visionary Founding Director Amani Matabaro and his local Congolese non-profit ABFEC in eastern Congo. When we joined forces, there were seven girls and women, survivors of the ongoing conflict in eastern Congo, who had graduated from Amani's Sewing Workshop with sewing machines and the tools to start their own businesses. Working several "day jobs," Amani was running his non-profit out of his own pocket. Since partnering with ABFEC, Action Kivu has graduated 205 students with their own sewing kits, with 42 ready to graduate at the end of 2018. Click here to read the stories of success to learn how your partnership is changing lives!
Because of Action Kivu's supporters, Amani was able to expand his vocational training programs to include soap making, bread baking, basket weaving, organic farming, animal husbandry, and the Literacy Program, which, combined, have served over 300 women and girls previously denied a formal education.
After sending 50 students to various local schools for two years, in partnership with the Dillon Henry Foundation and with generous support from Pour les Femmes and our Action Kivu family of donors, we finished construction on the Congo Peace School in 2018, opening its doors in September to 160 students in four grades (two primary, two secondary). The school provides a revolutionary education grounded in peace and nonviolence, and provides the students with two meals each day. We are seeking funding to expand the campus, staff, and programs to serve 480 students from grade one of primary to grade 6 of secondary with a classical education combined with Kingian peace and nonviolence training.
Your support of Action Kivu enables direct human to human assistance to those suffering from unspeakable violence, giving them the tools to be agents of peace and change. It also encourages homegrown and sustainable solutions by caring individuals. Looking to invest in the people of Congo at this community level? Click here to join the movement today with a one-time or monthly donation!.
The entrepreneurial programs and the school are located in Mumosho, outside the city of Bukavu. Bukavu is the capital of South Kivu, a region of Congo that borders Rwanda. Visit our Learn More About Congo page to see a map of Bukavu.
ABFEC is registered as a local non-governmental organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Action Kivu, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) charity in the United States. Our EIN is 27-3537799.

TOKYO-Toshiba Corporation (Tokyo: 6502) has received an order to supply a large scale battery energy storage system (BESS) for Tohoku Electric Power Company's "Minami-Soma Substation Project to Verify the Improvement of Supply-demand Balance With Large-capacity Power Storage Systems″  . Toshiba will supply a 40MW-40MWh lithium-ion BESS, Japan's largest , integrating an array of SCiB™ lithium-ion batteries. Construction of the system began today and the start of operation is scheduled for the end of February 2016.
Toshiba's SCiB™ is a highly innovative lithium-ion secondary battery, distinguished by its long-life and excellent performance, including efficient charging and discharging at low temperature. It has a long lifetime, and operates with a high level of reliability and safety, including high resistance to external shock.
In the Minami-Soma Project, the BESS improves the balance of renewable energy supply and demand. The system stores surplus electricity when supply of renewable energy, whose output fluctuates with weather conditions, exceeds demands, and releases the stored electricity at times of high demand.
Toshiba supplied 40MW-class BESS to Tohoku Electric Power Company for Nishi-Sendai Project in 2014 to regulate frequency changes caused by power output fluctuations. A high evaluation on technical performances of SCiB™, including safety and charge-discharge efficiency, resulted in the order for Minami-Soma Project.
Overseas, Toshiba has supplied BESS to several projects: to subsidiary of Terna S.p.A., an Italian transmission company; for a collaboration with Spain's Gas Natural Fenosa in an on-site verification testing program for a transportable lithium-ion BESS; and for a large-scale commercial BESS for frequency regulation project in the USA, scheduled to start operation in December this year. Toshiba has also supplied SCiB™ for a 2MW energy storage system project led by the University of Sheffield in the UK.
Toshiba will continue to expand its BESS business in the global market and promote the growth of large-scale BESS, including the BESS for ancillary services .
As of May 29, 2015, Toshiba survey.
Ancillary service is a power grid operation service that includes regulating frequency to ensure stable frequency and voltage.

Liberty Gold Provides Additional Drill Results from Goldstrike Project
Written by AZoMiningJun 8 2017
Liberty Gold Inc. is pleased to announce additional drill results from the Warrior and Aggie targets, as well as the Peg Leg target, all located within the larger Main Zone of the 100% controlled Goldstrike Project in southwestern Utah.
The primary target is shallow Carlin-style, oxide gold mineralization within the 14 km2 "Historic Mine Trend", between and down-dip of historic open pits.
Highlights from the Warrior and Aggie Targets include:
1.53 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 25.9 metres (m) including 3.48 g/t Au over 9.1 m in PGS242
0.85 g/t Au over 50.3 m including 1.81 g/t Au over 15.2 m in PGS235
0.62 g/t Au over 50.3 m including 1.61 g/t Au over 7.6 m in PGS243
The new holes further define an area of mineralization that extends from the Warrior Zone to the western portion of the Aggie Zone and effectively connects these two target areas.
Highlights from the Peg Leg Target include:
1.80 g/t Au over 22.9 m including 2.98 g/t over 12.2 m in PGS245
0.51 g/t Au over 22.9 m including 0.84 g/t over 9.1 m in PGS244
1.31 g/t Au over 6.1 m in PGS231
The intercept in PGS245 is located in Paleozoic strata, where a number of shallow historic holes are located. Additional drilling is planned to determine the extent of this shallow and relatively high-grade mineralization.
In addition, four infill holes were completed in the Main Zone, including 1.43 g/t Au over 13.7 m including 2.33 g/t Au over 7.6 m in PGS237, and two holes were completed in the Dip Slope area to the north of the Main Zone, including 0.66 m g/t over 36.6 m including 1.16 g/t over 15.2 m in PGS220.

Innovative Gold Exploration Using Portable XRF; Effective Use of Pathfinders & Litho-Geochemistry: An Interview with Aaron Baensch
Goldstrike is located in the eastern Great Basin, immediately adjacent to the Utah/Nevada border, and is a Carlin-style gold system, similar in many ways to the prolific deposits located along Nevada's Carlin trend. Like Kinsley Mountain and Newmont's Long Canyon deposit, Goldstrike represents part of a growing number of Carlin-style gold systems located off the main Carlin and Cortez trends in underexplored parts of the Great Basin. The historic Goldstrike Mine operated from 1988 to 1994, with 209,000 ounces of gold produced from 12 shallow pits, at an average grade of 1.2 g/t Au.
Moira Smith, Ph.D., P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration and Geoscience, Liberty Gold, is the Company's designated Qualified Person for this news release within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and has reviewed and validated that the information contained in the release is accurate. Drill composites were calculated using a cut-off of 0.20 g/t. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals vary between 30 and 100% of the reported lengths due to varying drill hole orientations, but are typically in the range of 60 to 80% of true width. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Limited in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were utilized in calculating gold intersections. For any samples assaying over 0.200 ppm an additional cyanide leach analysis is done where the sample is treated with a 0.25% NaCN solution and rolled for an hour. An aliquot of the final leach solution is then centrifuged and analyzed by AAS. Metallic screen techniques may be employed where the presence of coarse free gold is suspected. Approximately 1000 grams of coarse reject material are pulverized and screened. Two splits of the fine fraction are assayed, as well as all material that does not pass through the screen (the coarse fraction). The final gold assay reported is a weighted average of the coarse and fine fractions. QA/QC for all drill samples consists of the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch. Selected holes are also analyzed for a 51 multi-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS. ALS Geochemistry-Reno is ISO 17025:2005 Accredited, with the Elko prep lab listed on the scope of accreditation.
Goldstrike is an early-stage exploration project and does not contain any mineral resource estimates as defined by NI 43-101. The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource for the targets disclosed herein. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource. Further information on Goldstrike is available in the technical report entitled "Technical Report on the Goldstrike Project, Washington County, Utah, U.S.A.", effective April 1, 2016 and dated October 7, 2016, prepared by Michael M. Gustin, C.P.G. and Moira Smith, Ph.D., P.Geo. found at the top of this page or under Liberty Gold's issuer profile in SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

What is EHR Software?
The term "electronic medical records" (EMR) refers to the electronic version of a patient's medical records history. Electronic health records (EHR) software facilitates the sharing and updating of patient monitoring information across various medical facilities. Additionally, patients may access their own accounts and see their own healthcare records by logging in. Due to the collaborative nature of EHR software, a patient's profile may include information from all of the professionals engaged in the patient's care, including pharmacies and labs.
When doctors and nurses utilize EHRs, they can see the whole picture of their patient's health and provide better care. Electronic health records (EHRs) may work along with a wide variety of other programs, including medical scheduling and billing tools.
The following are common features of EHR Software:
Real-time patient data tracking and data recording
Healthcare provider functions

Who Uses EHR Software?
EHR software is used by medical professionals (doctors, physicians, primary care physicians, solo practitioners, clinicians, and nurses) to streamline administrative tasks and improve the quality of care they provide to patients. The key advantages of using EHRs by medical professionals and institutions have been discussed. Because of their greater financial and human resources, enterprise hospitals get the most benefits from EHRs. Although smaller clinics and practices may have difficulty affording or making the most of an EHR, this does not rule them out as potential users.
What are the different kinds of EHR Software?
Electronic health records (EHRs) may be categorized as either "on-premise," "cloud," or "hybrid cloud" solutions. The use of mobile apps, such as those found on the iOS and Android platforms, is also becoming commonplace and anticipated. The size of the practice or organization deploying the EHR is another aspect that may lead to distinct "types" of EHR software. (At the moment, however, there are no more nuanced classifications of EHRs beyond solo practitioner/small clinic and enterprise hospitals.
What are the issues with EHR Software?
The interoperability of electronic health records, or the capacity of different healthcare IT systems to successfully "speak" to one another, is a more intriguing topic. After all, an EHR's primary purpose is to assist medical facilities in developing a holistic picture of their patients, thus it must be capable of actively consolidating data from several sources.
When implemented properly, an EHR may improve productivity across the healthcare system. Moving from a paper-based environment to one on the cloud is a godsend to the already overworked doctors, nurses, and other medical workers. This is particularly true if the latter exists within the limits set by HIPAA, which might aid a healthcare facility in meeting regulatory requirements.

Following the experience in Cagliari in 2016, LANDing, a multidisciplinary choreographic practice project by Francesca Foscarini and Cosimo Lopalco, lands in Bassano del Grappa for B Motion 2018 to meet some dancers of Dance Well (movement and research for Parkinson).
The performance Oro. L'arte di resistere came to life: a research on the contemporary resistance in the city awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor for the Resistance. The word gold, a precious and durable metal, becomes a metaphor and symbol not only of resistance and its value, but also of (re)existance. The dancers, with their own biographies and personal relations with the (alive, dead, present, past, remembered, forgotten) city reveal in the dance living idea (biography) of resistance / existence.
"The show's progression is steady yet full or surprises; falls, tumbles, cartwheels, singing, the whole lot. To think the cast is formed of performers aged 60+ and sufferers of Parkinsons, is unbelievable. The music choice was brilliant, all Italians in the audience began to sing along to timeless classics, whilst we were invited to join the dance. And everybody danced. It was wonderful".

For Sale: A Piece of Jackson County History
Arts & Entertainment City Business History Local News
The former Watson Place Inn has rich history attached to the Santa Fe Trail, the beginnings of Kansas City, the Border Wars and the Civil War.
By Martin City Telegraph / July 23, 2017
This historic home off 123rd and Belleview is up for sale.
Historic Home Holds 160+ Years of History
It's extremely rare- unheard of – to see an old, historic home perfectly preserved in the city. It's even more rare to have the opportunity to own a part of history.
Nestled snugly between Verona Hills and Timber Trace subdivisions just south of Santa Fe Trail at the foot of a large hill rests a five bedroom home now for sale. Just beyond a tree line on Belleview, down a gravel road, is this stately home that partially predates Leawood, Martin City, and even Kansas City.
Now on 4.84 acres, the property originally stretched from Blue Ridge to 122nd St. and State Line Rd. to Wornall Rd.
Known in some historical documents as the Watson Place Inn, this lovely antebellum home has seen well over 150 years of history in its day. It is one of the last homes standing on the Santa Fe Trail in Missouri.
Because land records don't indicate homes, it's hard to decipher when the home was actually built. According to legend, the home was first a tavern on the Santa Fe Trail. Other locals called it an inn for the 49er's as they traveled to California. However you want to look at it, there was most likely a building, now the heart of the dining room of the house, that served travelers on the Santa Fe Trail. The lovely, open dining room with a fireplace façade partially reworked (but still has fittings for pots to swing) is a centerpiece of the room.

The first owner of this historic land for sale was an Indian agent named Anthony Davis who purchased all of the land between 1846-1848. The land stretched from Blue Ridge Blvd. to 122nd Terrace and State Line to Wornall Rd. to the east.
Anthony left the area for the Wild West and sold his land in 1850 to none other than William S. Gregory, namesake of Gregory Blvd. and Kansas City's first mayor. Gregory is known to have had a grocery store on the levee and did open a store in New Santa Fe in the early 1850s. Did he live in part of this historic home? It's a possibility.
Wiliam S. Gregory, born in 1825 in Kentucky, married Eliza Wade. When she died in 1851, William did something all-too-common in these days and married her younger sister, Mary Wade. In fact, records indicate that Eliza was buried on the property where this house now stands.
In 1851, Gregory sold his land to his father-in-law, Samuel B. Wade, a southern sympathizer and owner of 10 slaves in 1860, a large amount for the area. According to records, one slave cabin existed on the land.
The chestnut room and library was designed by Dr. John E. Watson in the 1870s.
Sam Wade was what we would now call a "border ruffian" and was quite involved in organizing meetings and preserving the institution of slavery. He raided into Kansas to illegally vote and even cast his vote in 1855 for himself and his ten year old son, proving his southern beliefs. By 1861, the area, including where the house now stands, was flooded with the Border Wars.
Many houses on the border were ransacked and even burned. Legend states the reason that this house was not destroyed is because it supposedly served people from both sides of the cause.
A direct descendant of Sam Wade's stated that he was "killed" in 1861, indicating that it is quite possible that his backward belief system had caught up to him. His wife died around the same time and both were originally buried on this land. However, the family later moved six graves, including William S. Gregory's first wife, from this farm and
Dr. John E. Watson
reinterred them at Union Cemetery. The graves sadly remain unmarked today.
In the late 1860s, the new town doctor of New Santa Fe, John E. Watson (b.1838), moved into the home and made drastic changes to its appearance. A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Watson added a room to the southwest of the home importing native chestnut from his home state. The room stays perfectly preserved, a lovely addition to this antebellum-style home. This is where the home gets its name of the Watson Place Inn.
Dr. Watson died in the 1880s and is buried near Martin City at Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
The house stayed in the Watson family until 1930 when they sold the 11-room home to a new owner. Less than five years later, the house transferred to John V. McKinney, a Kansas City streetcar executive. Plans in 1935 were to remodel the home and build onto it. An addition was added during this time period that joined some of the older portions of the house, including a once-detached kitchen. The home was expanded from 11 rooms to 16.

In the 1940s, a new ambitious owner, lawyer Clinton Gates, bought the property. His daughter, Paget fondly remembers growing up on this farm. Paget recalled, "My parents made major changes to the dining room and decorating changes of the living room and library."
She would wake up in the morning and milk their cow, Judy, before she went to school. They had a lake, now at the current cul-de-sac at the end of 122nd Terr. where they would ice skate in the wintertime.

Although only 4.8 acres of the home remain from the original 45 acres held by the Watson family, the home and its land are a step back in time. The home now features historic charm with modern conveniences. The original pine floors, bubbled hand-blown glass in the windows on the main floor, and the fireplaces remain preserved.
This 4,660 square foot home and its land are testaments to a time long lost in modern development and should remain for future generations. It has rich history attached to the Santa Fe Trail, the beginnings of Kansas City, the Border Wars and the Civil War. The key now is to find someone who can love and cherish the Watson Place Inn for the years to come. It is a chance to own a piece of Jackson County history.

The two companies wil use L-Band to boost their 4G coverage around the UK
by: Clare Hopping
Three and Vodafone have purchased some of Qualcomm's L-Band spectrum to boost coverage of their respective 4G networks around the UK.
Qualcomm said the L-Band spectrum has been approved for 4G use by the EU and can be used "for Supplemental Downlink, helping mobile network operators meet the global demand for increased mobile data traffic."
Reports suggest that the two companies paid 200 million for the extra 4G bandwidth, although neither company has confirmed how much they spent on the infrastructure improvements.
Ofcom will now need to conduct a review into the proposed purchase before Vodafone takes over Qualcomm's share of the 20MHz spectrum and Three takes the remaining 20MHz. It is unlikely that either company will be able to use the spectrum until late in 2016, because their equipment and devices will need to be upgraded in order to work.
A Three spokesperson confirmed the company had bid for spectrum held by Qualcomm, but wouldn't reveal any further details until Ofcom's review has been completed and the sale granted.
Vodafone commented: "L-Band will complement Vodafone's existing low frequency 800MHz spectrum which travels further and penetrates better through walls than other higher frequency 4G signals.
"Over time, Vodafone intends to combine the spectrum with 800MHz using a new technology called 4G+, also referred to as Carrier Aggregation, to deliver theoretical peak download speeds up to three times faster than standard 4G."
Qualcom decided to sell its L-Band spectrum back in June, but it's not known if other telecoms companies bid for the spectrum.

This family crest is made in a digital painting technique mainly in gold, silver and black. The eagle is based on a Austrian double-headed eagle. Additionally at the bottom we can see a medal based on a famous Austrian Order of Elizabeth which I have modified according to the client request. I designed this family crest to be presented best on a black background.

Q: coordinator layout with recycler + button I am having an issue where I am trying to add a button and a recyclerview to a linearLayout that linear layout is contained in a coordinatorlayout. The issue I am having is when I apply scrolling behavior to the linearLayout the button then scrolls up and down opposite of what the action bar does. When I apply scrolling behavior to the recylcerview and the button the top portion of my recylcer view is hidden behind the action bar.
Here is what my layout looks like:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/coordinator_layout"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/app_bar_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar"
            app:popupTheme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">

            <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
                android:id="@+id/recommender_search_view"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar"
                app:popupTheme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar"/>

            </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/contacts_recycler_view"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@color/recommender_divider"/>

        <Button
            style="@style/GrapeFullscreenButtonPrimary"
            android:id="@+id/send_button"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:text="Send (0)"/>

    </LinearLayout>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I have messed around with the fitSystemWindow property with no luck and also have tried the scrolling behavior with multiple scenarios as mentioned before. I have been battling this issue for a while now and any help would be highly appreciated.

A: Ok, you can achieve the same effect using the following technique:

Change
  <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/contacts_recycler_view"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@color/recommender_divider"/>

    <Button
        style="@style/GrapeFullscreenButtonPrimary"
        android:id="@+id/send_button"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:text="Send (0)"/>

</LinearLayout>'

To
 <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/contacts_recycler_view"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@color/recommender_divider"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
        android:paddingBottom="[your button's height]"/>

    <Button
        style="@style/GrapeFullscreenButtonPrimary"
        android:id="@+id/send_button"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:text="Send (0)"/>'

Note:
appbar_scrolling_view_behavior will move the RecyclerView down as part of its implementation; this is why your Button should have a solid background or you will see part of the RecyclerView beneath it.
