The first chemical leaching of gold occurred in the late 1800's with the introduction on the market of "DuPont Mining Salts". It did extract gold as gold chloride.
EnviroLeach Technologies Inc. has developed a unique, costeffective and environmentally friendly alternative to cyanide for the hydrometallurgical extraction of precious metals for the mining sector.
Removing the goldbearing rock from the ground is just the first step. To isolate pure gold, mining companies use a complex extraction process.
Summary. Cyanide (CN), a single carbon atom triplebonded to a nitrogen atom, has proved extremely useful in extracting gold from ore. However, with a toxic reputation dating back to the Holocaust, its use in mining has been very controversial.
Outotec offers complete cyanide leaching plants irrespective of the material quality. Freemilling gold materials are cyanide leachable and so are the refractory gold materials after suitable pretreatment.


One of Whidbey Island's most well known artists, Pete Jordan has been painting the scenes and spirit of the island for more than 30 years. Never one to rest on his laurels, Pete's most recent work showcases some new paths the master is taking. The subject matter might be familiar, but the results have a new life.
You can see it especially in the foreground. Broad, expansive vistas; a meadow, a slough, a bay at low tide. Pete's newest foregrounds ease you into the scene.
Broken color and a strong abstract quality means that those foregrounds aren't wasted space, but rich visual delights in themselves. Own one, and you'll find yourself drawn into those fields of broken color, your eyes ping ponging back and forth between the foreground and some detail or action in the mid or background. A string of geese in the distance, houses with a slight wisp of smoke.
Come into the gallery this spring and take a look at some of Pete's new work. You'll see why American Art Collector magazine chose one of Pete's paintings for a page-and-a-half spread on collecting marine art.

Storm in the stratosphere: how the cloud will be reshuffled
Here's a theory I have about cloud vendors (AWS, Azure, GCP):
Cloud vendors1 will increasingly focus on the lowest layers in the stack: basically leasing capacity in their data centers through an API.
Other pure-software providers will build all the stuff on top of it. Databases, running code, you name it.
We currently have cloud vendors that offer end-to-end solutions from the developer experience down to the hardware:
What if cloud vendors focus on the lowest layer, and other (pure software) vendors on the layer above?
Feel free to bring this up in five years to make me embarrassed about how wrong I turned out to be. But let me walk you through my thinking—I think some of it is quite well illustrated through the story of Redshift.
Redshift and what happened
Redshift is a data warehouse (aka OLAP database) offered by AWS. Before Redshift, it was the dark ages. The main player was Teradata, which had an on-prem offering. Startups said no to SQL and used Hadoop—SQL was kind of lame back then, for reasons that in hindsight appear absurd. I'm very happy we're out of this era.
Anyway, one vendor was a company called ParAccel. AWS licensed their technology, rebranded it Redshift, and launched in 2012.
Redshift at the time was the first data warehouse running in the cloud. It was a brilliant move by AWS, because it immediately lowered the bar for a small company to start doing analytics. You didn't have to set up any infrastructure yourself, or write custom mapreduce and reload the jobtracker all day. You could spin up a Redshift cluster in AWS, feed it humongous amounts of data, and it would … sort of just work.
Enter Snowflake
Snowflake2 is a $100B+ publicly traded company. Basically their entire offering is a data warehouse that looks fairly similar to Redshift.3
If you looked at Redshift in 2012, there was a lot of things that favored it. AWS had large economies of scale, had control of the underlying substrate (EC2), and could make larger investments in building the software. Maybe because of the value of lock-in, they could even subsidize the development of Redshift and make up the money through other products. Anyway, this is what it looks like nine years later4:
What happened? But my more general question is: what are the forces that favor a company like Snowflake?5 And what does that mean for other cloud products?
What if….?
There's some sort of folk wisdom that the lowest layer of cloud services is a pure commodity service. So in order to make money you need to do at least one of:
Make money higher up in the stack.
Use services higher up in the stack to lock customers in. Then make money lower in the stack.
I think there's some truth to these, at least looking historically, but there are some interesting trends blowing in the other way:
The "software layer on top" is getting incredibly competitive. There's so many startups going after it, fueled by cheap VC money and willing to burn billions of dollars on building software.
Cloud vendors might be pretty happy making money just in the lowest layer. Margins aren't so bad and vendor lock-in is still pretty high.
Startups are coming for the cloud
There's never been this many companies going after services that traditionally belonged to the cloud vendors:
What's going on? Probably a confluence of a lot of things. If I was tired, I would just shrug and say something like "startup circle of life, whatever". And I think this is roughly one factor, but I see at least 3 different ones:
Incentives at big companies often makes it hard to ship new crazy ideas. At the same time, VCs are pouring in money into the segment. If you're an ambitious person, do you go work at AWS? Or do you join an early stage startup, or create your own? It's expected that innovation shifts away from big companies to startups.
Software vendors can build for all the cloud vendors at the same time. I think this was a real benefit for Snowflake, since a lot of their early customers were banks who care about multi-cloud, but more generally it also expands the market size vs the reach of any cloud vendor.
A lot of the successful cloud products started out as internal services. This has been an amazing source of products, that have been battle-tested at Amazon, Google, and Microsoft scale, and it makes sense that those tools are a great match for their big enterprise customers. But the flipside of the extreme focus on scale, reliability, and configurability, is that the developer experience has become an attack vector, in particular when you look at mid-market and smaller customers who may care more about improving developer productivity. Slightly larger companies like Uber, Netflix, and Airbnb have a history of teams leaving to commercialize internal tools (often through the intermediate step of open sourcing it). Somewhat subjectively and anecdotally, these tools tend to have a much higher focus on developer experience.
Maybe owning the lowest layer isn't so bad?
Let's say a customer is spending $1M/year on Redshift. That nets AWS about6 $500-700k in gross profits, after paying for EC2 operational cost and depreciation. If that customer switches their $1M/year budget to Snowflake, then about $400k7 goes back to AWS, making AWS about $200k in gross profits.
That seems kind of bad for AWS? I don't know, we ignored a bunch of stuff here. Snowflake's projected8 2022 research and development costs are 20% of revenue, and their sales and marketing costs are 48%! For a million bucks revenue, that's $700k. Translated back to AWS, maybe AWS would have spent $300-400k for the same thing? Seems reasonable.
Now the math suddenly adds up to me. AWS basically ends up with the same bottom line impact, but effectively "outsources" to Snowflake all the cost of building software and selling it. That seems like a good deal for them!
What about lock-in?
The other argument for why AWS should build their own software services is that it increases lock-in. So maybe Redshift in itself isn't a cash cow, but it decreases the churn on EC2.
I'm not so sure? I spent six years as a CTO and moving from one cloud to another isn't something I even remotely considered. My company, like most, spent far more money on engineer salaries than the cloud itself. Putting precious eng time on a cloud migration isn't worth it unless cloud spend starts to become a significant fraction of your gross margins. Which is true for some companies! But those are in a minority.
A significant factor in all of this is that existing infra provides significant "gravity". It's not like you can just pick whichever cloud vendor has the cheapest database and run your DB there. You want to run things in the same cloud provider9 and in the same data center10. Looking at sign-up flows for cloud products gives us a hint:
The screenshots above show the onboarding for Snowflake, Confluent, and MongoDB (Atlas). They all ask:
What's your cloud vendor?
What region?
Note that the only options for the first questions are AWS, GCP, and Azure.
The other side of the equation of a potential cloud migration is—how much money you can save? And I think the truth it's never going to be substantial, since no one wants to start a price war. Being in a fairly stable oligopoly seems pretty nice and cozy, and if I was cloud vendor, I wouldn't try rock the boat.
The cloud in 2030
We're roughly 10 years into the shift to the cloud, and even though it feels like it's transformed how we build software, I think we're still just getting started. I really wouldn't be surprised to wake up in a world where most developers don't interact with cloud vendors.
Big transformations tend to happen in two stages. The first step happens when some new technology arrives and people adopt to it in the simplest way that lets them retain their conceptual models from the existing world. The real transformations happens later, when you rethink the consumption model because the new world opens up new ways to create value. The way we consumed music didn't change materially when Apple started selling songs online. The real transformation happened when providers like Spotify realized the whole notion of ownership didn't matter anymore.
If you think about it from that angle, the last 10-15 years look a bit like a dumb "lift and shift". Crudely speaking, we took computers and we put them in the cloud. Is that really the right abstraction for where we are? I don't think so. I think new higher level tools will let us focus on building application code and not worry about the underlying infrastructure.
Startups are coming for your code
The forces I've talked about have been most clear when you look at Snowflake vs Redshift, but you can see it in other places too. Transactional databases is another very exciting area. But where I think we'll see the most change is how software vendors will increasingly run customer code.
This isn't exactly a new idea—Heroku launched in 2007, and AWS Lambda in 2014. Kubernetes has been this interesting trend in the last few years on what I think is still essentially an inevitable march towards a fully "serverless" world, whatever that means to you.
I wonder if a weird corollary of this is… maybe it's actually really good for the planet? The computers sitting in the cloud are ridiculously underutilized—my guesstimate of average CPU utilization is that it's maybe 10%? If I had a Ph. D. in bin packing, I'd go looking for a job at some serverless infrastructure provider right now.
One way to tell the story in 2030 looking backwards is that the cloud vendors needed software running on top of it, so they had to provide that themselves first, in order to drive cloud adoption. Luckily they already had a bunch of internal stuff they could ship! But eventually the market matured, and they could focus on the place in the stack where they had the strongest advantage.
The cloud market will grow to $1T/year in revenue. Ok, that's almost entirely noncontroversial.
Most engineers will never interact directly with cloud vendors, but through services on top of those.
The database market (OLAP, OLTP, you name it) will be dominated by vendors running on top of cloud vendors, where the underlying layer is completely abstract.
We will have some amazing new runtimes, finally figuring out the developer experience problems that are currently holding serverless solutions back.
We will see a lot of partnerships between startups and cloud vendors, where a cloud vendor may concede an area and try to be a preferred partner with a startup instead.
Kubernetes will be some weird thing people loved for five years, just like Hadoop was 2009-2013, but the world will move on.
Resource utilization in the cloud will be much better, and engineers will spend an order of magnitude less time thinking about resource allocation and provisioning.
IBM has finally given up on "hybrid multi-cloud".
YAML will be something old jaded developers bring up after a few drinks. You know it's time to wrap up at the party at that point.
This generated a bunch of comments on Hacker News, most of which strongly disagree! Looking forward to see what the world looks like in 10 years.
Thanks to Josh Wills, Akshat Bubna, and Sarah Catanzaro for feedback on an earlier version of this post!
I'm ignoring the CDN world a bit here. It's very clear right now that Cloudflare is doing an amazing job owning the stack all the way from developer experience to networking equipment. But frankly I don't see any long-term foundational difference operating 300 small data centers vs 30 large ones. Cloudflare has done exceptionally well staying ahead of the innovation game, but I suspect the same economic forces that apply to AWS et al eventually apply to them too. ↩
A fun thing is I randomly had lunch with the Snowflake founders in 2012 and they offered me a job the next day. The company was like… 10 people in total? ↩
There was one major architectural difference of Snowflake vs Redshift. A very underappreciated tech shift is how much faster networks got around that time. Up until that point, the wisdom was "move compute to data", but Snowflake bet early on a full decoupling. AWS launched Athena in 2016 which was based on Presto, not Redshift, and launched Redshift Spectrum in 2017 which lets you query data in S3 through Redshift. As a bizarre coincidence, Redshift just launched a serverless product today, which is something they probably should have done a long time ago. ↩
This is from DB rankings. ↩
A pretty long history about Redshift vs Snowflake, which also points out that AWS unintentionally ended up incentivizing their sales teams to recommend Snowflake to customers. ↩
The margins on EC2 is reportedly about 50% and about 60% for AWS as a whole. Just comparing instance pricing for Redshift and for EC2 for equivalent instance types also gives a good idea of the Redshift markup above EC2. ↩
Snowflake is a public company and you can compute their margins from their latest quarterly report. ↩
From Snowflake's investor presentation ↩
Security is another topic that drives this, although security to some extent works against startups: the bar to adopt additional AWS products is often lower than completely new vendors. ↩
Cloudflare is actively going after the very high AWS egress fees and it's going to be interesting to see how that plays out. ↩

If you are planning on spending some time this Valentine's Day watching a movie, whether in the comfort of your own company, or with a sweetheart or friend, I'd like to recommend The Abominable Dr. Phibes for your evening's selection. In this cult horror classic directed by Robert Fruest, screen legend Vincent Price is the eponymous Dr. Phibes, a reclusive genius who can build incredible musical automatons, play a mean organ, waltz till the cows come home, and still manage to exact his carefully cultivated plan of vengeance, all while wearing great capes. Assisted by his stylish, silent accomplice Vulnavia (Virginia North), Phibes carries out murderous revenge, styled (if a little loosely) after the Ten Plagues of Egypt, on the various medical professionals he believes botched his wife's medical treatment and caused her untimely death.

Peacekeepers linked to grisly murders in Central African Republic
A 14 year old girl breastfeeds her three month old son outside her family's home in Bangui, Central African Republic on Monday, Feb. 15, 2016. She says last year, a Burundian U.N. peacekeeper asked her to help carry water into their base located close to her home. Once inside, she was raped and impregnated later giving birth to a baby boy. She no longer attends school in order to care for her son full time with the help of her family. (Jane Hahn for the Washington Post) (Jane Hahn/For The Post)

NAIROBI — Aid workers have unearthed the remains of 12 people who they say were murdered by international peacekeepers in the Central African Republic in 2014.
The troops, from the Republic of Congo, were part of a peacekeeping mission — first under the auspices of the African Union, then the United Nations — aimed at ending a civil war that left thousands dead beginning in late 2012. Human Rights Watch had previously reported on the role Congolese peacekeepers played in "enforced disappearances," but the Congolese government "has taken no action toward credible investigations or justice for these crimes," according to a new report by the group released Tuesday.
[The growing U.N. scandal over sex abuse and peacekeepers]
Now, new evidence has emerged in what appears to be one of the most egregious cases of peacekeeper abuse in the history of the mission in the Central African Republic. The African Union peacekeeping mission was absorbed by the United Nations not long after the incident occurred.
The new Human Rights Watch report says that a local aid group exhumed the remains of a dozen people in February of this year and that "clothing and other distinctive items identified the victims as members of a group of at least 12 people the Congolese peacekeepers arrested on March 24, 2014."
Peacekeepers had previously claimed that those people had escaped from detention after the arrests — and denied any role in their deaths.
"The discovery of 12 bodies is damning evidence of an appalling crime by Congolese peacekeepers, who had been sent to protect people, not prey on them," said Lewis Mudge, Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch.
Peacekeepers in the Central African Republic, including those from the Republic of Congo, have more recently been accused of sexually abusing dozens of girls and women across the country. A total of 120 soldiers from the Republic of Congo have been sent home in connection with the sexual abuse scandal.
The disappearance of the people in 2014 in Boali, a town in the country's southwest, was yet another stain on the peacekeeping mission. Human Rights Watch had previously reported the "presumed location of the grave" – about 500 yards from where a U.N. peacekeeping base stands.
"Yet [African Union] peacekeepers, U.N. peacekeepers, and national authorities made no effort to protect the site, or to conduct a forensic exhumation to preserve evidence for future judicial proceedings," Tuesday's report said.
The group was arrested after a clash between a local commander from the "anti-Balaka" Christian militia and peacekeepers left one peacekeeper dead.
"Angered by the death of their colleague, the Congolese peacekeepers surrounded the anti-
Balaka leader's house, arrested him and at least 12 others, including five women, one of whom was six months pregnant, and two children, one about 10 years old and the other 7 months old," the report said.
"Later that night, witnesses heard screams and a volley of gunshots from an area near the villa on the other side of the road, followed about an hour later by another round of gunfire from the same location."
Although the United Nations acknowledged in a 2015 statement that peacekeepers were involved in "enforced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings," the Congolese government has taken "little or no action," according to Human Rights Watch.

The views expressed in IMF Working Papers are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF, its Executive Board, or IMF management.
We undertake an extended discussion of the latest developments about the existing and new estimation methods of the shadow economy. New results on the shadow economy for 158 countries all over the world are presented over 1991 to 2015. Strengths and weaknesses of these methods are assessed and a critical comparison and evaluation of the methods is carried out. The average size of the shadow economy of the 158 countries over 1991 to 2015 is 31.9 percent. The largest ones are Zimbabwe with 60.6 percent, and Bolivia with 62.3 percent of GDP. The lowest ones are Austria with 8.9 percent, and Switzerland with 7.2 percent. The new methods, especially the new macro method, Currency Demand Approach (CDA) and Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) in a structured hybrid-model based estimation procedure, are promising approaches from an econometric standpoint, alongside some new micro estimates. These estimations come quite close to others used by statistical offices or based on surveys.

Beautiful Renaissance paintings found hidden behind crude Nazi wall plastering
History | Life
Stuart Dowell April 01, 2019
The sensational discovery at Książ Castle in Walbrzych, Lower Silesia, was made after specialists were called in to check the walls before they were renovated. Książ Castle/TFN
Wall paintings dating back to the Renaissance have been found hidden under layers of Nazi-era plaster at a castle which was at the centre of a hunt for a WWII gold train.
The sensational discovery at Książ Castle in Walbrzych, Lower Silesia, was made after specialists were called in to check the walls before they were renovated.
As they were examining all the layers of plaster, stucco and paint to find out what might be hidden underneath, they discovered the designs painted in a polychrome technique of patterned curtains, curtain rails and forest motifs that could date back as far as the 16th century.
Castle spokesman Mateusz Mykytyszyn told TFN: "The polychrome paintings, which are very beautiful and probably cover half the room, are likely to come from the Renaissance time, so around 400 years agoKsiąż Castle
Castle spokesman Mateusz Mykytyszyn told TFN: "The polychrome paintings, which are very beautiful and probably cover half the room, are likely to come from the Renaissance time, so around 400 years ago, but this will only be confirmed by further examinations."
He added: "Other polychrome paintings might exist in other parts of the castle but these are the only ones that have been uncovered so far."
The discovery is important as many of the orginal elements of the castle were destroyed towards the end of the war. Książ Castle
The magical 13th-century castle perched in the Owl Mountains in Lower Silesia is steeped in mystery, much of which dates back to the turbulent period of the Second World War.
This was when the décor of the Arched Room was lost when the Nazis confiscated the castle and set about transforming it into a headquarters and abode for Adolf Hitler along with a vast underground tunnel network.

Between 2015 and 2016 the castle hit international headlines when two locla men claimed to have found a Nazi gold train loaded with WWII looted treasure in the nearby town of Wałbrzych.
It was believed that the castle, with its system of tunnels deep below was home to numerous WWII secrets.

Mykytyszyn explained: "The room was terribly destroyed in the second half of 1944 and the original décor was lost.
"The ceiling was completely removed and thrown away and many other original elements. So that is why this discovery is so important."
The Arched Room is one of the most historical rooms in the castle, as it comes from the time when the castle was built in the 13th century by Prince Bolko I from the Piast dynasty.
Before WWII, the room where the paintings were discovered was one of the favourite rooms of the castle's pre-war owners the Hochberg family.Książ Castle
Before WWII, it was one of the favourite rooms of the castle's pre-war owners the Hochberg family.
"We know from a letter written by Count Alexander Hochberg to the castle director in 1982 that the family used to drink mocca in the afternoon on the terrace adjoining the room and would enjoy the view of the old castle on the other side of the valley," Mykytyszyn said.
Specialists will now carry out further analysis of the paintings as well as other walls in the room.

Even better, it doesnt come with all the sugar and energy (kilojoules) found in fruit juice drinks, soft drinks, sports drinks and flavoured mineral waters. Drinking water instead of sweetened drinks also prevents dental problems.
Primary aspiration of food and fluid can cause serious lung consequences in infants and children. Treatment recommendations for children who have primary aspiration of thin fluids includes restriction of thin fluids and provision of thickened fluids. Children often refuse to drink thickened fluids presenting a challenge for families to ensure that the child takes sufficient fluid. Allowing children who have thin fluid aspiration to drink water may assist in providing enough fluid without endangering the lung . This review found no evidence about drinking water in children with primary aspiration of thin fluids.
General anaesthetics inhibit the protective reflexes that stop the stomach contents reaching the lungs. In order to prevent the inadvertent inhalation of stomach contents, children are often advised to have nothing to eat or drink from the midnight before surgery. However, the review of trials found that drinking clear fluids up to a few hours before surgery did not increase the risk of regurgitation during or after surgery. Indeed there is an added benefit of a more comfortable preoperative experience in terms of thirst and hunger. Some children are considered more likely to regurgitate under anaesthetic, including those who are obese or have stomach disorders. More research is needed to determine whether these children can also safely drink up to a few hours before surgery.
Many children in hospital need fluid through an intravenous line (or 'drip') because they cannot eat or drink enough and they need to remain hydrated.This fluid can cause rare but serious side effects due to the salt level in the body decreasing. When the salt level in the body decreases quickly brain swelling can occur, which can result in death.

Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 725 - AnythingNovel.com Read online any english novel around the world.
After the disciple recruitment event by the Eastern Sage Immortal King had concluded, the people in the Royal Sacred Region were seized by a cultivation fervor. After they personally witnessed the strength of the supreme existences, their inclination towards the martial path, grew stronger and stronger.
As the core of the Royal Sacred Region, the Sacred Royal City was naturally even more so. Right now, there were already many who joined the Medicine Sovereign Valley. The Medicine Sovereign Valley had officially announced that they wanted a piece of the pie and would be contending against the Royal Sacred Sect. The news of their earlier battle was also circulated around and it's clear that the Medicine Sovereign Valley wasn't in anyway inferior to the Royal Sacred Sect.
That and in addition to the rumors of Zai Xuan abetting an external visitor to abduct the females of their own world to be used as cultivation furnaces, the reputation of the Royal Sacred Sect was no longer as high up as it was before.
However, there were also many rumors regarding Qin Wentian that was circulating around. Qin Wentian was narrowly selected as the disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor but because the immortal emperor discovered that Qin Wentian's character wasn't suitable, he rejected this disciple. Qin Wentian was too sinister and cunning to the extent where even the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor looked down on him, deciding to forsake him eventually.
This matter caused a huge uproar in the Sacred Royal City, leading to many people discussing it. After all, the scene back then at the immortal palace was clearly seen by all of them. This explanation does sounds somewhat logical.
For a moment, Qin Wentian's reputation was questioned by many. However with regards to all of this, Qin Wentian had never made any reply to it before. There was also another rumor that stated Qin Wentian was humiliated at the banquet and he wanted to avenge that humiliation no matter what. However, the other party was a supreme existence from the immortal realms. How could they be someone Qin Wentian could avenge himself upon?
This rumors were naturally spreaded by those of the Royal Sacred Sect, they were fanning the flames with the wind. But regardless of the experts of the Medicine Sovereign Valley or Qin Wentian himself, they couldn't be bothered with it. Ever since he returned from the disciple recruitment event, Qin Wentian had never appeared in the outside world again.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
Right now, in a certain location of the Royal Sacred Region that was covered by mist, an incomparably majestic immortal palace shimmered in and out of existence as though it was situated halfway in reality and in the void. It would disappear and appear at times and earlier, when the immortal senses of supreme existences swept over the Royal Sacred Region, they had also noted this place but didn't sense anything out of the ordinary.
But of course, the supreme existences wouldn't investigate too closely even if they did find something extraordinary. Even though this place is a particle world, if they focused, countless scenes would appear in their minds along with countless messages, and it could be quite confusing.
But if they were here at this misty location in person, they would certainly be able to sense the marvelous and unique energy fluctuations that hid this immortal palace away, causing the space here to be different compared to anywhere else in the Royal Sacred Region.
Inside this palace, Di Tian sat cross-legged on a slope as a brilliant picture scroll shining with resplendent light floated before him. The contents within were unfathomably mysterious and was exceedingly hard to understand.
Di Tian's entire being was immersed within. And within the scroll, runic lights cascaded downwards, lighting up Di Tian's surrounding. There were also some that directly entered his body, causing it to turn illusory and blurry, containing a myriad of changes within.
However at this moment, the picture scroll in Di Tian's hands trembled slightly. Instantly within the scroll, an intense rune imprint appeared as it transformed itself into a mysterious energy.
''This is so difficult. It has been so long but I have no way to fully comprehend it. It seems that I've only just stepped into this vast dimension of sealing.'' Qin Wentian mused in his heart. He only had a year of time to comprehend the secrets of this scroll. If he failed to, his memories of this place would be erased and he would be kicked out from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace.
''The runic lights in the scroll resembles divine inscriptions. A connecting flow that is linked in countless ways, containing within them a myriad of transformations, fusing together to manifest a mysterious source of energy.'' Di Tian stared at the air as he did his best to comprehend. As his cultivation base leveled up, his perception towards divine inscriptions also grew stronger and stronger. Back then, the feeling that manifested when he was cultivating the Spirit Refinement Method grew stronger and stronger.
The Spirit Refinement Method was something he found in the memories his father left behind for him in the tiny astral being. It allowed every particle of astral energy in his body to be refined into divine energy. And every particle of divine energy was actually a divine inscription. For example,, sword-type divine energy. This would enable him to manifest actual swords if he channeled it.
Astral souls also contained innate attributes. The attribute of force, the attribute of dreams, the attribute of wind, fire, lightning, thunder, etc. The tiny astral being revealed the Spirit Refinement Method, the instant he stepped onto the path of his cultivation. From this, one could see how important his father has deemed this refinement technique to be, as it could guide his cultivation path.
divine inscriptions can be used for combat, or for inscribing formations. Regardless of whichever, they could achieve the same result as innate techniques albeit the differences in methods used. It was as though both of them stemmed from the same root and were a kind of usage that was an outlet to channel the energy of heaven and earth, as well as the attribute energy of oneself.
The only difference was that they were used in different settings.
Right now, the mysterious energy and boundless runic lights in the scroll, gave him a striking sense of familiarity. It felt as though seals were also a variant of divine inscriptions.
As he thought till here, Di Tian discarded all his previous notions and started afresh with a new perspective, studying the resplendent runic lights in the scroll. He started to use another angle to contemplate and comprehend this.
Time flowed unconsciously by. It was so in the Vermillion Bird Immortal Palace, and it was also the same in the external world.
Within the Medicine Sovereign Valley, Qin Wentian had immersed himself in cultivation and had never stopped for a single moment. After stepping into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, he could truly sense that cultivation had grown more difficult. Right now, every single step of improvement required not only a vast amount of astral energy to refine, he also needed to deepen his comprehension on true intents, and the nature of his constellation. Only then would his constellation grow increasingly perfect.
Right now, Qin Wentian's original body has already comprehended and condensed his third and fourth constellations.
His first constellation was the Dreamworld Constellation, evolved from his Great Dream Astral Soul. The Dreamworld had no boundaries and was a domain-type constellation, able to cause his opponents to be immersed so deeply that they had no way to extricate themselves. And circulating around his constellation, was a pure destructive might generated from his fusion of true intents.
His second constellation was the Sword Slaughter Constellation, evolved from his King Sword Astral Soul. It's destructive might was a notch higher, reaching the extreme and could slaughter all that was in his way obstructing him.
His third constellation was the Summon Constellation, evolved from his Demon Sovereign Astral Soul. It's ability was to summon many supremely strong demonic beasts to aid him in combat.
His fourth constellation was the Suppression Destroyer Constellation, evolved from his fifth astral soul, the towering giant. This astral soul had a violet-gold corona and was condensed from the 7th Heavenly Layer. This constellation was also the last constellation he had comprehended, and contained unfathomable power within.
After condensing four constellations, the only astral soul that Qin Wentian had not evolved yet was his Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul. It wasn't that he couldn't evolve it but it was just that from Qin Wentian's perspective, his current four constellation was already sufficient for anything. Even if he condensed a fifth constellation evolving his Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul, it would be useless as his combat prowess wouldn't be augmented.
And other than condensing these four constellations, Qin Wentian also spent a lot of time on the other aspects of cultivation. He didn't waste a single moment, and he also didn't continue dwelling on the events of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's disciple recruitment. And since he was working so hard, he naturally wouldn't have the time to bother with the rumors. In this strength-oriented world, when he was suppressed by others, the people of the world would spurn and disdain him. But when he stood at an unprecedented peak, everyone would prostrate themselves in worship. This was a logic he understood very well.
''You finally know it's time for you to take a break.'' A perfectly beautiful female silhouette walked over to Qin Wentian with a warm smile on her face.
''Stretching my muscles.'' Qin Wentian walked to the side of Mo Qingcheng, hugging her willowy waist with both his hands as a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.
''Lecherous wolf.'' Mo Qingcheng pouted.
''Let them say what they like. In any case, I was preparing to head to the immortal realms too.'' Qin Wentian casually commented. Ever since he knew that the Royal Sacred Region was a particle world, Qin Wentian's heart was seized by the desire to explore out of it. He wanted to traverse the boundlessly vast immortal realms to see what the real world look like for himself.
A true man would roam all four directions and let alone he had to fulfil the wishes of his parents and had to look for Qing`er. No matter what, he was destined to walk out of the Royal Sacred Region.
''Can you bring me along?'' Mo Qingcheng inclined her head and looked at Qin Wentian, the expression in her eyes seemingly could melt everything. She was truly worried. The immortal realms to her was simply too far away.
''Okay!'' Mo Qingcheng nodded. Qin Wentian pulled her hand along as their silhouettes flickered, whistling through the air towards the exit of the Medicine Sovereign Valley without alerting any others.
Slowly strolling round the Sacred Royal City and breathing fresh air, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng were akin to ordinary couples walking on the streets. Many people involuntarily turned their gazes over for no other reason than simply because these two people were too dazzling. Qin Wentian's demeanor coupled with Mo Qingcheng's beauty. And also right now in the Royal Sacred Region, was there even still anyone who didn't know who Qin Wentian was?
Half a year ago in the immortal palace, the scenes that played out there was broadcasted to everyone in this world. The people of this world have all seen him before.
The voices of these people 'entered' into Qin Wentian's perception, causing him to smile bitterly in his heart. It wasn't a good thing to be overly famous, he can't even casually walk on the streets even if he wanted to!

Who Knows Where the Time Goes? is a retrospective compilation of the work of English folk rock singer Sandy Denny issued in 1985.

For all those who know me, I don't apply makeup at all except for eye-liner, kajal, lip balm and/or lipstick; yes they are makeup essentials but I don't own a blusher, foundation and all that kind of stuff but that absolutely did not stop me from nervously booking my tickets for the event which was purely makeup and beauty based.
I still remember pressing the 'Payment' button on 18th. Next day I happily printed the ticket just to find that I booked it for 19th instead of 20th, I was wearing a Kurti with little to no makeup or any kind of preparation and to add to my problems my boss was in the office so I couldn't leave the office early either and the event started at 12 noon!
I texted my parents about my mistake and how my 157.50 Dhs (including VAT) were going to a waste since I won't be able to attend. My dad, however, did not give up and suggested we leave at 5 for the event so that I can get some time to explore; the event was from 12 noon to 10 p.m.
I walked into the event like a boss not caring about the fact that all eyes were upon me since I was some of the only customers out there at the time and looking like I just woke up and walked into the event. Never mind.
I walked around for a bit looking at the various outlets. Some of the beauty names that had their stalls at the event were The Dollhouse, Huda Beauty, Urban Decay, Charlotte Tilbury, OUAI and many others, here I did get nervous since everyone looked so gorgeous out there and I looked like an absolute idiot!
I stopped at The Dollhouse where the lovely Pooja welcomed me and I chose to get my hideous nails done to a lovely 'in the lobby' shade from the brand Essie. I didn't mind spending another 30 bucks for the nail paint since I didn't want to look like I have come to the event for samples and free food!
I walked around looking clueless for a while gathered some free samples from Wojooh (YAY!): Ice Cold Body Lotion, Snow Musk, and Hello Halo Body Lotion, Amber Aura (Review coming up soon!!). I walked out of the event in less than an hour since I didn't want my dad to keep waiting for me whilst I keep looking like a fool at the event! Haha.
This event turned out to be a great learning experience for me where I learned to be fearless about the way I look at a public event, how to talk to complete strangers and lastly how not to never give up on my dream.
No matter how unprepared I was for the event, I did get a lot to learn and I would like to thank you all for being with me on this journey.

Derby Line wind hearings: PSB grants towns, villages party status
Credit: The Orleans Record, orleanscountyrecord.com 30 March 2012 ~~
DERBY – Towns and villages near the Derby Line Wind Project have all been granted party status in the formal hearings before state utility regulators.
John Cotter, hearing officer for the Vermont Public Service Board, has said that the towns of Derby and Holland can intervene in the process as well as the villages of Derby Line and Derby Center.
Cotter, in a recent order, limited the scope of the municipalities' ability to intervene in the case over the proposal by Encore Redevelopment to erect two industrial grade wind turbines on farms in Derby.
But he warned that the Public Service Board is not required to review the impact of the project on the area economy and water quality – because Encore applied to certificates of public good for each turbine under the state's special standard-offer program for small electricity projects of 2.2 megawatts or less.
That could affect whether the town of Derby and village of Derby Line can address issues relating to the source protection area for the International Water Company, shared by Derby Line and Stanstead, Quebec.
Cotter said he has allowed the municipalities to file testimony on the local economic impact and water quality. But he said he will decide later about this issue if Encore opts to oppose such testimony from the municipalities.
The deadline for anyone else to apply to intervene at this point is Monday, a week after this week's public hearing at Derby Elementary School. Anyone seeking to intervene at this point has to explain why they waited until after the hearing.
Cotter warned that there could be quite a few people or groups seeking to intervene. He advised that he could require those with similar interests to intervene jointly if "the interests of justice and economy of adjudication require."
And Cotter warned that anyone seeking to represent themselves in this quasi-judicial process has to follow board rules of procedure, deadlines and schedules. That includes mailing copies of any brief or document to every party involved at one's own expense.
He also noted that Encore Redevelopment officials have already complained that Derby, Holland and Derby Center did not forward copies of their applications to intervene to Encore as required. Encore officials said they only found out that the towns and village applied to intervene when they contacted the Public Service Board's clerk to get a copy of the service list.
Municipal Concerns
Derby asked to be an intervenor because the project's two turbines and infrastructure would be located in the town.
"Derby contends that the character of the town, its citizens, its infrastructure and its ability to provide services will be directly impacted more than any other persons or places," Cotter noted.
"Derby also claims that it is uniquely situated to assess and present testimony on the topic of economic benefits" especially within the town, he noted.
"Derby maintains there will be economic impacts related to employment, construction, property taxes, any additional payments negotiated between the developer and the town, and spending on goods and services.
"The town also states that there will be new responsibilities created as a result of the proposed project, including maintenance of infrastructure and emergency services," Cotter wrote.
Derby also wants to present testimony on natural environment, aesthetics and historic sites and is particularly interested in water quality in connection with blasting because of the source protection area for the International Water Company.
Encore officials argued that Derby didn't explain why it cannot be represented by the Vermont Department of Public Service, which is the state's consumer watchdog for utilities, and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.
Cotter said that Derby may have unique local interests. But he noted that the town didn't show why it could examine impacts outside of the town's borders.
So he limited the town's scope of testimony to impacts within the town. He did the same for the other municipalities.
Cotter said that Holland wanted to intervene because it is very rural and the turbines will be visible in 95 percent of the town once the leaves fall.
The town raised concerns over health, property values and aesthetics and points to its town plan with concerns over electricity projects.
Derby Center asked to intervene on impacts affecting this village's water and sewer system, revenues to the town and other town and village issues, but Cotter limited the village to impacts within village limits.
Derby Line raised concerns about the visual impact of the turbines in the eastern part of the village. The village trustees are also concerned about the impact on International Water.

As we learn more about the effects of concussions and sports-related head trauma, parents, coaches and medical professionals are debating how to keep players safe. Some are looking to technology, like a device worn under the helmet that shows the force of impact after a fall or collision.
Before placing sensors in helmets, I would require every athlete in a contact sport to have an AA/EPA ratio test done to ensure if there is a concussion. They have the internal ability to reduce the inflammatory damage.

When Microsoft started up in a garage in California, its co-founders and first two employees were best friends – Bill Gates and Paul Allen. The two had been close friends throughout high school and shared the same passion for computers and programming (and thoroughly abusing the networks at nearby Washington State University). They grew apart after graduating and went to university in different states, but circumstances prompted Allen to drop out of university to work as a programmer at Honeywell. It was Allen who convinced Gates that they could run their own company selling software, and it was Allen who contributed the company name "Micro-Soft".
Paul Allen passed away today, aged 65 years.
Most of the computer industry owes their jobs to the work that Allen and Gates did in the early years of their company's existence. The duo went on to create the Basic programming language from scratch, basically wrote the book on programming with high-level abstract languages for the Intel 8080 processor, and pioneered software licensing and sales tactics which drove DOS to dominate the early computing era.
Allen resigned from Microsoft in 1983 after helping Gates to set up the company and secure contracts, but would remain involved in the company as a board member, and eventually vice chairman of the board. Just three years later, Allen's shares in the company made him a billionaire overnight, as Microsoft's strong opening in their IPO secured their position as a contender in the software industry.
Although Allen left Microsoft completely in the year 2000, he remained a busy man. Much of his wealth went into personal projects in and around Seattle, his birthplace, and he bought several sports teams and helped finance the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers. His personal interests were in science and technology advancements, and he helped fund many causes ranging from wildlife conservation, to AIDS and cancer research, and space travel through SpaceShipOne. His contribution of $100 million towards combating the spread of the 2014 ebola outbreak helped contain the disease and secure aid for thousands of Africans who desperately needed treatment, and the Paul G. Allen Foundation set up an ebola research fund in 2015 to prevent the spread of the disease in the future.
Allen spent considerable personal time helping to overhaul the Seattle education system, channeling more than $50 million into initiatives to teach children computer skills, in addition to more than $30 million in funding and donations to Washington State University to set up research centers and open new wings and classrooms for students. As the owner of the world's largest yacht, Octopus, Allen allowed dozens of research crews to use the vessel for their respective and undersea studies.
In 2009, Allen was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which successfully went into remission in 2010. He had already battled with Stage 1-A Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1982. In a blog post published recently, Allen had revealed that the cancer had returned, but that his doctors and oncologist were confident of his ability to recover. He died earlier this morning from complications caused by the returning lymphoma.
Microsoft Studios is now Xbox Game Studios so can't we all just get along?
