British ship heading to ward off Somali pirates held at port in Spain after being forced to stop
Eight former Royal Marines are understood to be on board the vessel, which was heading to East Africa to protect oil platforms on the East African coastline from pirates
AN ex-Royal Navy officer's converted warship has been seized by Spain amid fears he is a mercenary planning to fight pirates in Somalia.
Former lieutenant Chris Enmarsh's decommissioned gunboat Defender has been stopped from sailing since being forced to stop off in Tenerife for repairs.
The Spanish authorities are understood to be concerned that Mr Enmarsh and his five-man crew intend to operate as so-called guns-for-hire protecting oil platforms off the coastline of East Africa.
The heavily armoured former military vessel has two cannons as well as two unused machine gun emplacements, but the 53-year-old claims they do not work.
He has flatly denied that the crew are mercenaries heading for Somalia, saying the claims are 'nonsense'. Instead, he said, they were sailing to Senegal in West Africa to discuss the vessel being used to deter illegal fishing.
The 127ft boat, which weighs 135 tons, was built in Lowestoft, Suffolk, in the mid-Seventies as a fast attack craft for the Sultan of Oman's navy in the Gulf.
The ship was decommissioned in 2002. Mr Enmarsh is thought to have bought it two years ago.
Local maritime officials impounded the vessel last week after an inspection found 'administrative irregularities' and security issues relating to life-saving equipment.
The drama began on Tuesday when the Defender made an unplanned stopover in the resort of Los Cristianos after blowing a gasket.
It was boarded by Spanish Civil Guard officers and refused permission to stay there. The vessel was then escorted to a berth 50 miles away at Santa Cruz port by a Spanish navy warship.
Officials are understood to have been suspicious that the formidable looking vessel, which flies the British flag, was registered as a pleasure boat.
The boat has been inspected five times but officials have refused the skipper permission to sail. Mr Enmarsh and his crew have not been held.
While running background checks on the former gunship and its owner the authorities are also believed to have come across comments made by Mr Enmarsh to a local newspaper in Essex in 2011 that he intended to arm it for shipping and oil rig protection.
He told the Maldon Chronicle in November 2011: 'Defender's task will be to deter any pirates intent on boarding the many ships that pass the East African coastline. One look at her should be enough to send them looking for easier targets.
'She will be manned by handpicked ex-Royal Marine Commandos and run as a professional naval ship, obeying the rules of engagement.
''Our primary task will be to protect oil platforms which are towed close to the coast of East Africa, and a number of oil companies want to hire Defender to look after their interests.
'We are not mercenaries; this is strictly a business venture similar to other British private protection firms which operate in Iraq and Afghanistan.' But Mr Enmarsh said yesterday that only he and one other crewman had served in the Armed Forces.
He said: 'The reports of us heading to Somalia are nonsense. We would not have come down this way if our destination was the Horn of Africa. There are quicker routes to get there.
'We are on our way from England to Senegal to discuss with the authorities there the possible use of the Defender as a deterrent against illegal fishing boats. The idea is that one look at us and anyone who should not be fishing there will think twice about staying.' He said the cannons were 'for show only and totally unusable'. But he believed the presence of a formidable looking vessel would be enough to deter illegal fishing.
He said: 'We have been searched from top to bottom and nothing improper has been found. The only reason we have to stay is because the inspectors say our on-board safety equipment is not up to standard.
'We need to get new fire extinguishers and some other items before we are cleared to depart. The crew have not been detained in any way.'
The Spanish ministry of defence said an inspection had revealed 'irregularities in the paperwork of the boat and its crew, as well as deficiencies in safety equipment'.

Q: Difference between NOTIFYICON_VERSION and NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4 used in NOTIFYICONDATA structure? When adding a system tray icon from in Windows there are two versions of API that we can pass to Shell_NotifyIcon() via NOTIFYICONDATA structure. There are subtle differences between the two API, and these are not listed anywhere on MSDN. It took me some effort to figure out some of the differences, which I am going to share now. Improvements/additions to the answer are always welcome.
PS: This question is purely for sharing what I have learnt over last few days experimenting with windows DPI scaling.

A: uVersion member of the NOTIFYICONDATA structure can have 3 possible values, representing the version of the API being used to create the taskbar icon.

*

*0 Use this value for applications designed for Windows versions prior to Windows 2000.

*NOTIFYICON_VERSION Use the Windows 2000 behavior. Use this value for applications designed for Windows 2000 and later.

*NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4 Use the current behavior. Use this value for applications designed for Windows Vista and later.

When it comes to message handler for the tray icon, the wParam, and uParam have the differences as illustrated in the following image.

Notice that in NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4 the wParam gives X, and Y coordinates of various events, but there is no provision for getting the coordinates in NOTIFYICON_VERSION. This gives rise to an interesting behaviour (which was a cause of a BUG I was trying to solve). If you use NOTIFYICON_VERSION, and then invoke the context menu of the tray icon, then the mouse cursor, wherever it may be while you are invoking the menu, gets placed right at the center of the tray icon. Even if you use keyboard (WINDOWS+B) for invoking context menu of the icon, the mouse cursor still moves to the icon.
This may not be of particular interest to you until you look at this particular BUG I am trying to solve in Pico torrent application.
Here is the scenario.

*

*OS : Windows 10

*Application isn't per-monitor DPI aware, but is system level DPI aware.

*There is an initial value of Desktop scaling set, say 150%, when the user logs in.

*Pico torrent is running.

*DPI scaling value is changed to, say 125%

*Pico torrent's context menu is invoked
The context menu will not be displayed at its proper place, and will be displaced a little, showing a deviance.

See the following images to understand what's happening.

The problem is that although MSDN says that GET_X_LPARAM(wParam), and GET_Y_LPARAM(wParam) should give correct values in the handler of tray icon, but it doesn't, in the presence of DPI scaling (i.e. for a change in DPI scaling without doing a sign out and sign in). On the other hand the API GetCursorPos() returns the correct value of mouse cursor coordinates. Note that NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4 along with GetCursorPos() will not work, since the context menu can be invoked using keyboard, at which the mouse cursor can be anywhere on the screen(s).
So, how do you combine all the knowledge just learnt to display the tray icon's context menu correctly when DPI scaling is done in the manner above, without making you application per-monitor DPI aware (for per-monitor DPI aware applications GET_X_LPARAM(wParam), and GET_Y_LPARAM(wParam) always return correct value)?
Use NOTIFYICON_VERSION instead of NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4, this will position the mouse cursor at the tray icon when context menu is invoked, and then use GetCursorPos() to get mouse cursor's position. Display the context menu using TrackPopupMenu() with the coordinates.
PS: In the example above the DPI scaling value is changed from 150% to 125%. The context menu deviance is more pronounced when DPI scaling is done from a bigger value to a smaller value, when your tray icon area is on lower right of the screen. This is because when DPI scaling is done, and windows magnifies UI elements which are not per-monitor aware, using DPI virtualization, then things move right-wards, and down-wards. eg. if in an application a windows rectangle is (0,0,100,100) (screen coordinates), then after magnification to 150%, it may become (0,0,150,150). Now for tray icon's menu, if you specify coordinates which lie beyond bottom-right of the screen, then the OS will still display is at a bottom right position which lies inside the screen, and which ensures that menu is displayed properly. eg. if a screen is 1920x1080, and TrackPopupMenu()is given (10000,10000) for menu, the menu will still be displayed inside the 1920x1080 screen rectangle. Thus increasing DPI scaling will not move the context menu any further, if it has already reached the right-bottom most position.

A: @sahil-singh you are right about it, and I agree with everyone else that your application should be DPI aware, but when this is not a point here.
I had a similar issue where my application is (still) not DPI aware and GET_X_LPARAM(wParam) will return non-virtual coordinates. After passing this value to the TrackPopupMenu() I get wrong position on the screen.
The best way is to use GetMessagePos() instead of wParam. In this case, Windows will give you new DWORD with virtual coordinates and then use GET_X_LPARAM/GET_Y_LPARAM to get a values that you can pass to the TrackPopupMenu().

A: This seems to (2 years later in 2019) be documented on MSDN:

NOTIFYICONDATAA structure
uCallbackMessage
Type: UINT
When the uVersion member is either 0 or NOTIFYICON_VERSION, the wParam parameter of the message contains the identifier of the taskbar icon in which the event occurred. This identifier can be 32 bits in length. The lParam parameter holds the mouse or keyboard message associated with the event. For example, when the pointer moves over a taskbar icon, lParam is set to WM_MOUSEMOVE.
When the uVersion member is NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4, applications continue to receive notification events in the form of application-defined messages through the uCallbackMessage member, but the interpretation of the lParam and wParam parameters of that message is changed as follows:

*

*LOWORD(lParam) contains notification events, such as NIN_BALLOONSHOW, NIN_POPUPOPEN, or WM_CONTEXTMENU.

*HIWORD(lParam) contains the icon ID. Icon IDs are restricted to a length of 16 bits.

*GET_X_LPARAM(wParam) returns the X anchor coordinate for notification events NIN_POPUPOPEN, NIN_SELECT, NIN_KEYSELECT, and all mouse messages between WM_MOUSEFIRST and WM_MOUSELAST. If any of those messages are generated by the keyboard, wParam is set to the upper-left corner of the target icon. For all other messages, wParam is undefined.

*GET_Y_LPARAM(wParam) returns the Y anchor coordinate for notification events and messages as defined for the X anchor.

Advanced Summary
ankylosing spondylitis Several variations of the HLA-B gene increase the risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis, particularly a version called HLA-B27. It is uncertain how this variation causes the increased risk. Researchers speculate that HLA-B27 may abnormally display peptides that trigger an immune reaction, resulting in the inflammatory process that causes arthritis. Other research suggests that the joint inflammation characteristic of this disorder may result from improper folding of the HLA-B27 protein or the presence of abnormal forms of the protein on the cell surface. Although many people with ankylosing spondylitis have the HLA-B27 variation, most people with this version of the HLA-B gene never develop the disorder. Additional genetic and environmental factors, many of which are unknown, affect the chances of developing ankylosing spondylitis and influence its progression. Behçet disease Several versions of the HLA-B gene, particularly HLA-B51, are associated with an increased risk of developing Behçet disease, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects many parts of the body. This association is strongest in people from Japan, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia. Researchers do not know how HLA-B51 increases the risk of this disorder. Although many people with Behçet disease have the HLA-B51 variation, most people with this version of the HLA-B gene never develop the condition. It appears likely that other factors, such as viral or bacterial infections and changes in other genes, also influence the development of this complex disorder. juvenile idiopathic arthritis Genetics Home Reference provides information about juvenile idiopathic arthritis. psoriatic arthritis Genetics Home Reference provides information about psoriatic arthritis. rheumatoid arthritis Genetics Home Reference provides information about rheumatoid arthritis. Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis Several variations of the HLA-B gene have been studied as risk factors for Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), a potentially life-threatening skin reaction most often triggered by medications. For example, the variation HLA-B*1502 increases the risk of SJS/TEN in people taking certain medications used to treat seizures, particularly a drug called carbamazepine. This version of the gene is most common among people of Han Chinese or southeast Asian descent. Another version of the gene, HLA-B*5801, increases the risk of SJS/TEN in people treated with allopurinol (a drug used to treat kidney stones and gout, which is a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the joints). This association has been confirmed in southeast Asians and in people of non-Asian ancestry, although HLA-B*5801 occurs less frequently in non-Asian populations. Studies suggest that the HLA-B gene variations associated with SJS/TEN cause the immune system to react abnormally to some medications. In a process that is not well understood, the triggering drug causes immune cells called cytotoxic T cells and natural killer (NK) cells to release a substance called granulysin. This substance destroys cells in the skin and mucous membranes, including the lining of the mouth and the airways. The death of these cells causes severe blistering and peeling that can have life-threatening effects. Most people who have variations in the HLA-B gene that are associated with an increased risk of SJS/TEN never develop the condition, even if they are exposed to drugs that can trigger it. Researchers believe that additional genetic and nongenetic factors, many of which are unknown, likely play a role in whether a particular individual develops SJS/TEN. other disorders The HLA-B27 variant is associated with a group of inflammatory joint diseases related to ankylosing spondylitis. These conditions are known as spondyloarthropathies. Some of these disorders are associated with a common skin condition called psoriasis or with chronic disorders that cause inflammation of the intestinal walls (inflammatory bowel disease). One of the spondyloarthropathies, reactive arthritis, is typically triggered by bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal or genital tract. Following an infection, affected individuals may develop arthritis, back pain, and eye inflammation. Like ankylosing spondylitis, many factors probably contribute to the development of reactive arthritis and other spondyloarthropathies. Among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, a version of the HLA-B gene designated HLA-B*5701 increases the risk of an adverse reaction (hypersensitivity) to the drug abacavir. This medication slows the spread of the HIV-1 virus in the body. People with abacavir hypersensitivity often develop a fever, chills, rash, upset stomach, and other symptoms when treated with this drug. Several variations of the HLA-B gene appear to play a role in the progression of HIV infection to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is a disease that damages the immune system, preventing it from effectively defending the body against infections. The signs and symptoms of AIDS may not appear until 10 or more years after infection with HIV. Studies suggest that people with HIV infection who have HLA-B27 or HLA-B57 tend to progress more slowly than usual to AIDS. On the other hand, researchers believe that HIV-positive individuals who have HLA-B35 tend to develop the signs and symptoms of AIDS more quickly than usual. Other factors also influence the progression of HIV infection to AIDS. Another version of the HLA-B gene, HLA-B53, has been shown to help protect against severe malaria, a disease caused by a parasite that is carried by mosquitoes. HLA-B53 is most common in West African populations, where malaria is a frequent cause of death in children. Studies suggest that this version of the HLA-B gene may help the immune system respond more effectively to the parasite that causes malaria.
The HLA-B gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a critical role in the immune system. HLA-B is part of a family of genes called the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex. The HLA complex helps the immune system distinguish the body's own proteins from proteins made by foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria. HLA is the human version of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a gene family that occurs in many species. Genes in this complex are categorized into three basic groups: class I, class II, and class III. In humans, the HLA-B gene and two related genes, HLA-A and HLA-C, are the main genes in MHC class I. MHC class I genes provide instructions for making proteins that are present on the surface of almost all cells. On the cell surface, these proteins are bound to protein fragments (peptides) that have been exported from within the cell. MHC class I proteins display these peptides to the immune system. If the immune system recognizes the peptides as foreign (such as viral or bacterial peptides), it responds by triggering the infected cell to self-destruct. The HLA-B gene has many possible variations, allowing each person's immune system to react to a wide range of foreign invaders. Hundreds of versions (alleles) of the HLA-B gene are known, each of which is given a particular number (such as HLA-B27). Closely related alleles are categorized together; for example, more than 60 very similar alleles are subtypes of HLA-B27. These subtypes are designated as HLA-B*2701 to HLA-B*2763.

Mineral Manual A-Z
Aluminum (Al)
Essential daily amount: Unknown
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown
Amount in the average body: 0.0025 oz
Amount in TerraPond: inert*
You've heard the scary stories about toxic buildup of aluminum causing dementia and health problems, but did you know that colloidal aluminum exists in small but significant amounts throughout nearly every food and plant in the world? While toxic aluminum from man-made sources is a public health danger, the fact remains that natural aluminum is one of the most abundant elements on the surface of the earth...more abundant that iron. Yet it is needed in the human body in extremely small amounts, in ionic, molecular form. Aluminum may be involved in regulating insomnia and sleep patterns, cerebral function, and mental development as well as the cellular environment. It may be involved in enzyme synthesis.
Nevertheless, many pundits proclaim fearfully that aluminum will accumulate in your body and cause disease, especially brain disorders. But think about the logic of this. The second most common element on earth is inherently toxic? While you're considering that, think about the fact that many people with osteoporosis also have calcium deposits on their arteries and calcium induced arthritis. So the reason the mineral calcium is being collected and deposited isn't due to an overdose. Other factors are at work when your body cannot resolve an intake of minerals in their natural, colloidal form; and sometimes the body is rejecting the wrong kind of the mineral. In this regard, colloidal aluminum is widely considered safe in small amounts, yet many people have been exposed to too much non-colloidal aluminum from man-made sources.
* Moreover, TerraPond minerals contain an alumina silicate, which is one of the most powerful natural and safe aluminum detoxifiers. Because of its strong anionic charge, TerraPond does not release aluminum, but rather pulls it from your body, including the toxic forms of aluminum we are all exposed to. Aluminum has one of the highest cationic charges of all minerals. Like mercury, it is missing three electrons (chemists refer to it as being ―positively trivalent‖, meaning it has a strong positive voltage). Therefore, it will not exchange for other minerals in the TerraPond compound, but instead aluminum deposits in your colon will be drawn unconditionally into these ionic molecules. Taking internally can actually remove aluminum from the system..
Antimony (Sb)
Amount in the average body: 0 oz
Amount in TerraPond: <1 ppm;<5 mcg
This element has always been considered both exotic and toxic. But recently, it has been discovered that trace amounts of antimony are needed to catalyze biological recovery processes for arthritis, osteoarthritis, bronchitis, prostate enlargement and rheumatism. Does that sound like a deadly poison? You need only tiny amounts of it, which are hard to obtain in processed foods. If you foolishly eat the metal form of it, you could die. But in trace amounts of colloidal, antimony contributes to natural health.
Arsenic (As)
Amount in the average body: 0.00015 oz
Amount in TerraPond: <5 ppm; <25 mcg
Once again, found in basically all life forms, this element has received nothing but bad press. Trace amounts of the nontoxic colloidal form are needed to support cellular function, immunity, and healthy bones, teeth and hair. Metallic forms of it are deadly poisonous
Barium (Ba)
Amount in TerraPond: 461 ppm; 2.3 mg
A relatively unknown biocatalyst, this mineral is needed for regulation of blood pressure, among other systems. Typical of our mainstream nutrition science, there is no RDA or recognition of it as a nutrient even as research proves it is beneficial in trace amounts
Bismuth (Bi)
Amount in the average body: Unknown
Amount in TerraPond: 5 ppm; 25 mcg
This mineral is the original active ingredient of Pepto-Bismol . It is a good anti-infectant and supports immune function. In combination with antibiotics it is now used for treatment of some stomach ulcers. It has even been used to successfully treat syphilis.
Bromium (Br)
Amount in the average body: 0.008 oz
Bromium is also a hyper-trace element found in the bodies of all higher animals and humans. It settles in the pituitary gland and works with membrane ionic exchanges and nervous function.
A Hyper-trace element with unknown properties, cadmium seems to affect metabolic processes.
Essential daily amount: 1200 mg
Typical diet deficiency: 400 mg
Amount in the average body: 2.5 lbs
Amount in TerraPond: 4.7%; 235 mg; 20%*
Calcium is an absolutely essential macro-mineral that forms structural components of bone and tissue. It is the ―master‖ element that also helps regulate cellular activity and pH and blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion. It supports healthy skin and tissue. Your body craves good sources of calcium, yet when it cannot assimilate this important substance, it begins to deposit the crystalline element on bones and in tissue in an unhealthy way.
*The calcium found in TerraPond is a highly bio-available form of calcium, delivered along with complementary trace elements that make the calcium operable for its purpose.
Carbon (C)
Essential daily amount: N/A
Typical diet deficiency: none
Amount in the average body: 30-50 lbs
Amount in TerraPond: Nil
Carbon is an essential element, but it is abundant because all life is based on carbon chains. So the food chain is essentially a carbon chain, and many chemical elements are bound to carbon. If you are eating enough calories, you are not carbon deficient. Electrolyte minerals and trace elements are not "organic" and therefore are independent of carbon. If your mineral supplement contains carbon, it is because it has been exposed to decomposed animal and plant life. ION- MIN is a pure mineral complex in its native form, with little exposure to prehistoric plants and animals, which is why it has so little carbon in it.
Cerium (Ce)
Amount in TerraPond: 79 ppm; 395 mcg
Another hyper-trace element that acts as a biocatalyst in unknown and complex ways. It may be helpful for eye problems and other organs. It is used in wrist ligament centrioles, which is why it helps some people adapt to overcome carpal tunnel syndrome; similarly it is needed to strengthen patella ligatures. Yet research on cerium's health effects is lacking.
Cesium (Cs)
Amount in the average body: 0.00005
Amount in TerraPond: 12 ppm; 60 mcg
This trace element is a biocatalyst for your internal cellular environment, contained in the bodies of all mammals.
Amount in the average body: 3.3 oz
Contained in relatively large amounts in body fluids, chloride is an electrolyte that is (along with potassium and sodium) necessary for cardiac rhythm and electrification of the body and pH balance. Digestive juices in the stomach contain hydrochloric acid. Chloride is an anion, so it does not adhere to our minerals silica structure. Fortunately, most people get enough...indeed too much chloride with sodium in the form of salt.
Chromium (Cr)
Essential daily amount: 80-200 mcg
Typical diet deficiency: 40-100 mcg
Amount in TerraPond: 100 ppm; 500 mcg;250%
Chromium is an essential nutrient required for normal glucose and fat metabolism and works primarily by ensuring insulin acts correctly. It is present in the entire body but with the highest concentrations in the liver, kidneys, spleen and bone. Chromium is needed for energy, as it maintains stable blood glucose levels. In cooperation with other substances, it controls insulin as well as certain enzymes. It is also required in synthesis of fats, protein and carbohydrates, and thus is important in regulating cholesterol. It competes with vitamin C and may be needed in larger amounts to combat adult onset diabetes. Yet this extremely important mineral was not even considered necessary for health until 1977!
It is important to note that only trivalent chromium (Cr03) is acceptable for human and animal ingestion. Hexavalent chromium (Cr06) is toxic. TerraPond contains only trivalent chromium.
Cobalt (Co)
Essential daily amount: 10-50 mcg
Typical diet deficiency: uncertain
Amount in the average body: 0.000056 oz
Amount in TerraPond: 28 ppm; 140 mcg; 280%
A hyper-trace element that makes up part of vitamin B12. It helps maintain muscle tissue and regulates hypertension, activates certain enzymes, and helps blood production.
Cobalt was found to be a key component of vitamin B12 in 1948. Grazing animals suffer in areas where there is little cobalt in the soil. Like other trace minerals, Cobalt has been depleted from our soils due to intensive farming and the overuse of NPK. Until the 1940's, most farmers returned essential minerals to the soil by mulching, adding manure, and crop rotation. Since modern farming, farm animals have needed to be supplemented. This implies that some people are likely underexposed to cobalt, such as vegetarians.
Essential daily amount: 2-5 mg
Typical diet deficiency: 2 mg
Amount in the average body: 0.0028 0z
Amount in TerraPond: 35 ppm; 175 mcg; 4%
An important trace mineral that affects immunity, and has anti-infectant properties. Copper is required in the formation of hemoglobin, red blood cells, skin and bones. It helps with the formation of elastin as well as collagen - making it necessary for wound healing. Copper works closely with iron for these functions. Copper is a vital component of a number of essential enzymes. It is essential for energy production, connective tissue formation, iron metabolism, melanin formation and it also has an antioxidant function.
Copper's role in nutrition and health has been known since 1925. Yet it did not become recognized by orthodox medical community as an essential trace element until 1996!
Europium (Eu)
Amount in the average body: nil
Amount in TerraPond: 1 ppm; 5 mcg
This rare earth, hyper-trace mineral is not well studied. But it is found in minute amounts in eyes, veins, glands, bladder, and bile ducts. It seems to provide some antagonism to alcoholism, and forms part of a message-sensing bio-electric system in the body that regulates glucose. Experiments with rats in extremely small doses doubled their life expectancy. There are no known plants that grow well without some trace Europium.
Fluoride (Fl)
Essential daily amount: 2-3mg
Amount in the average body: 0.105
Fluoride is essential for both teeth and bones. Calcium by itself won't build a molecule of bone. To use the calcium, your body has to have adequate supplies of at least 9 other minerals; and fluoride is one of those minerals. Deficiency is almost unknown, making one wonder why the water supply is filled with man-made forms of it. If anything, there may be localized overexposure to Fluoride from the drinking water supplies, although nobody in authority is admitting this, which is bizarre when you consider that under nearly all other circumstances, the US government places no trust in mineral supplementation to remedy a public health issue (in this case tooth decay). Yet even as most people are highly dosed from foods, they are also dosed with municipal water without any official concern for toxicity. All of this is odd, since fluoride and health are scarcely studied.
Fluoride is an anion, and does not adhere to the TerraPond silicate, which is why none is present in the compound.
Gallium (Ga)
The role of Gallium is a mystery, yet it is a trace element because it is present in the body tissue of humans and animals in extremely small trace amounts. It seems to have a role as a metabolic catalyst of some kind, and likely works in coordination with other minerals to assist the efficiency of body processes. The amounts of gallium in normal body tissue and depletion rates are not studied.
A hyper-trace element that plays an important role in aging prevention of cells and perhaps the retardation of cancer cell growth. It improves oxygenation, supports immune function, and toxin elimination. Studies in Japan have shown improvements in cholesterol and arthritis from taking 100-300 mg of this rare substance. This is a classic case of an under-researched, yet emerging mineral of some importance, yet which latent orthodoxy has little interest in studying, analyzing, or registering as ―required‖. Don't look for this element in your off-the-shelf multivitamin.
Gold (Au)
Amount in TerraPond: 5 ppb
You don't have to be told that gold is an interesting and exciting mineral. But you probably did not know that it presents no danger of toxicity to humans. Like silver, it is a powerful infection prevention agent. It is present in all bodies and affixes to bone marrow, liver and spleen. It stimulates cellular immunity, acts as an antitoxin, heals wounds, and supports cardiovascular health. It's also expensive!
Iodine (I)
Essential daily amount: 150-250 mcg
Typical diet deficiency: unlikely
Iodine is an important trace element that regulates thyroid function. Millions of people worldwide, and some at-risk groups in the US are deficient despite the act of adding it to our table salt supply. Adequate iodine levels slow aging processes and helps build healthy skin.
Essential daily amount: 10-20 mg
Typical diet deficiency: 2-20 mg: situational
Amount in the average body: .17 oz
Amount in TerraPond: 4.35%; 200 mg; 1000%*
Many people think we have a lot of iron in our bodies because they know that it makes our blood red. But it is a trace mineral, not a macro-nutrient. Nevertheless, even in our meat-eating culture, more than 25% of Americans are iron deficient! This is because they do not eat the right kinds of iron-rich foods, and they are not eating iron that is easily assimilated.
Iron is utterly indispensable for life because it is the principle mineral agent in cardiovascular function. The need for iron is very situational, based on age, sex, and timing. Iron deficiency is normally resolved with a proper diet; but most people have no idea if they are deficient or not. Toxicity can occur with extreme overdoses; however the FDA warning about iron has nothing whatsoever to do with iron after it is assimilated in your body. It is a warning about some forms of iron, such as ferrous sulfate that can be irritating to the lining of the stomach; kind of like the warning that aspirin can upset or cause stomach bleeding.
Because it is so critical for life, the human body maintains an efficient recycling process for its iron. However, Iron supplementation is a wise idea with little risk because of the body's self- regulation of iron uptake...the intestinal walls are highly selective as to how much iron is allowed to pass through. For example, when iron reserves are low, iron absorption from a meal may double.
The iron in TerraPond is Fe203, a moderately absorbable form of iron that is held in ionic suspension. If the body needs more iron, it will signal proteins to grab the iron oxide and utilize it; otherwise the iron in TerraPond will stay bonded or re-bond to the anionic silicate and will pass through the body without being absorbed and without doing harm. In 40 years of commercial availability, no incidences of iron toxicity have occurred through the use of these minerals.
Lanthanum (La)
Rare earth elements are found in relatively high concentrations in the earth's crust. And there are 17 of them in the periodic table of elements. Such elements is called a ―rare-earth element‖ because they are more difficult to mine and extract than equivalent sources of transition metals (due in part to their very similar chemical properties), making the rare earth elements relatively expensive. The use of rare earth elements in modern technology has increased dramatically over the past years and their nutritional applications are only beginning to be discovered. Remember, as with all trace elements, very minute proportions are needed to catalyze numerous metabolic and enzymatic processes, many of which we are only beginning to comprehend.
Lead (Pb)
Lead has always existed in the environment and although today's exposure levels are greater than in the distant past, even prehistoric populations would have been exposed to tiny amounts of lead. In fact it is likely that lead plays a metabolic role, in very small amounts in the body. It has been identified as a critical, essential element in many animals...in very trace amounts.
It is unlikely that with inevitable universal exposure to this heavy metal, mankind was intended to be completely intolerant of it, or that toxicity rapidly builds up. It is more likely that there is a biological role for it than that is inherently harmful in tiny doses. Once again, CEMC believes natural, ionic, colloidal minerals behave differently in the body than man-made variants.
TerraPond minerals can adsorb and remove heavy metals from the body, and is a good source of calcium and iron, which are elements needed to guard against lead toxicity.
Essential daily amount: 400 mg
Typical diet deficiency: 100-200 mg
Amount in the average body: 0.76 oz
Amount in TerraPond: 2.88%; 144 mg; 36%*
Magnesium is an important element for plants and animals. Chlorophylls (responsible for the green color of plants) are compounds known as porphyrins and are based upon magnesium. Magnesium is required for the proper working of some enzymes.
Magnesium plays a role an over 300 known important biological functions in humans, such as: enzyme synthesis, hormone balance, assimilation of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, thermal regulation, Vitamin C and E compatibility, immune function, reduced aging and pH control.
The latest government study shows a staggering 68% of Americans do not consume the recommended daily intake of magnesium. Even more frightening are data from this study showing that 19% of Americans do not consume even half of the government's recommended daily intake of magnesium.
Taking suggested servings of these minerals between meals will help deliver more magnesium in bio- available, ionic molecular form than eating a serving of most magnesium-rich foods.
Typical diet deficiency: atypical
Amount in TerraPond: 0.04%; 2 mg; 25%*
Manganese intervenes beneficially in numerous enzymatic reactions, particularly in collagen formation, glucids and bone formation. It also reduces inflammation and allergic reactions in the intestinal tract. Considered a universal anti-allergen, it may be involved in remediating hay fever. In combines well with cobalt, copper, and Vitamin B's.
It is possible that people with autoimmune/ hyper-immune issues such as allergies would benefit from increased uptake of Manganese.
Mercury (Hg)
Mercury can act as an antiseptic and can be an effective treatment in urinary infections. It is used as a preservative in some vaccines. However it is also a known carcinogen at low doses. So its nutritional or medicinal value is likely dramatically sacrificed by its risks. TerraPond contains no Mercury.
Molybdenum (Mo)
Amount in the average body: 0.0003 oz.
This interesting and hard-to-remember element is essential in minute amounts in human and animal organisms. It is needed to regulate sulfites that are present in foods. It plays a role in: protein synthesis, metabolizing iron and nitrogen. It harmonizes cellular function and reduces risk of asthma attacks. It is a component of several enzymes and helps maintain a healthy nervous system. Interestingly, it can be used to treat bad breath and mouth lesions. It can play a factor in impotence of elderly men, alcohol detoxification and has been identified in reduction of cancers. And to do all this, only extremely insignificant but necessary amounts are required, reminding us of the tremendous importance of trace elements and their nearly overlooked critical nature. Yet if the diet consists of mainly refined foods, the RDA of molybdenum will not be reached! This amazing mineral was added to the official list of "essential" elements in 1953.
Neodymium (Nd)
Neodymium is a ―rare earth mineral. This means it is not easily extracted in pure form. It plays an unknown role in humans and is difficult to find in tissue, yet it is a hypertrace mineral. It is used in the pleuras of our lungs. Lack of neodymium in the form of neodime acetyl latonate is a cause of Parkinson's disease. This element has doubled the life expectancy of animals in lab experiments. Neodymium, having no recognized role in biology was until now totally ignored in biochemistry. In 1997, Ohmichi found that Neodymium works with a lead ion (Pb2+) in leadzyme to regulate the transcription of genes. The two minerals, lead and neodymium should be present in ratio of one to one to maximize the reaction the enzyme governs.
Nickel (Ni)
Amount in TerraPond: 51 ppm; 255 mcg; 12%*
It's not just a cheap coin. It's a life saver. Nickel is a transformative agent in the internal cellular environment with important biological properties. It reinforces stressed duct cells, and is needed to support organ cells; it is a transistor crystal in our glands. Nickel is an effective component of treating dyspepsia—bloating and obesity; and it works with the spleen, liver, and pancreas.
Animals raised with nickel deficiency experience liver dysfunction. It strengthens insulin and encourages vitamin A and C. Nickel is a component of human growth and development. Nickel is needed in the heart muscle, the liver and the kidneys. It is involved in hormone, lipid and membrane metabolism. Significant concentrations are found in DNA and RNA and it may contribute to the stabilization of nucleic acids. Nickel was finally added to the ―essential‖ list in 1975.
Nickel deficiency in adults has been connected with cirrhosis of the liver and chronic liver failure. Yet still many contemporary descriptions of Nickel either consider it a ―controversial‖ nutrition source, or unnecessary, or even toxic. It is amazing how backwards our consensus is regarding important topics of health.
Essential daily amount: 800-1200 mg
Typical diet deficiency: unlikely*
Amount in TerraPond: 0.15%; 7.5 mg
While calcium gets all the attention, phosphorus is just as crucial and quite abundant in the body. It is an essential mineral that is required by every cell in the body for normal function, but it is present in bones, blood and in relatively large amounts in the nervous system. It acts in kidney function and helps the utilization of vitamins. It helps transform food into energy. It must be well mixed with calcium and magnesium in order to maintain good health.
As with many minerals, the phosphorus intake is more a matter of balance and ratios, rather than absolute amounts ingested. Since it is a primary fertilizer ingredient, it is present in many natural and processed foods. As a result phosphorus does not represent a deficiency problem in the US. However, some nutritionists believe that the optimal ratio of calcium to phosphorus should be maintained at over 2 to 1. Taking a colloidal supplement like these minerals helps maintain a dietary balance.
Essential daily amount: 3000-4000 mg
Typical diet deficiency: 1000-2000 mg
Amount in TerraPond: 2.8%; 140 mg; 5%*
Potassium salts are essential for both animals and plants. Potassium is an electrolyte that interacts with sodium to conduct nerve impulses and many other functions in the cells. The potassium cation is the major cation in intracellular fluids (sodium is the main extra-cellular cation). It is essential for nerve and heart function, and it is the dominant mineral in controlling muscle contraction.
As with other minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, potassium must be balanced with sodium for proper body pH and cellular rhythm. The cell's ability to take in nutrients depends on this electrolyte balance. Without a proper ration of sodium and potassium, heart, vascular, and cancerous diseases can develop. The problem is acute in Western diets because of all the sodium that is crammed into our processed foods. Taking potassium supplements is absolutely critical, which for many adults resolves a large degree of hypertension.
Determining the proper amounts and supplementation of potassium is very difficult, because in overdoses it can be quite toxic, alcohol and caffeine interfere with its absorption, and the amount of sodium in a diet can vary considerably, and because potassium is lost in perspiration it depends on the amount of heavy exercise one does.
Americans eat a lot of potassium-fertilized foods. Nevertheless, most Americans are deficient because it should be present in a 5-to-1 ratio to sodium...yet in many cases we take in less potassium than sodium, creating a huge imbalance. So before supplementing, cut your sodium!
Praseodymium (Pr)
Little is known of this rare earth mineral, which has been involved in studies that indicate it increases life expectancy of laboratory animals.
Rubidium (Ru)
Amount in TerraPond: 129 ppm; 645 mcg
Rubidium is one of the most electropositive and alkaline elements. And it is not rare. It is considered to be the 16th most abundant element in the earth's crust, and your body has a noticeable amount in it. Some scientists believe this element might play a very important role in cellular transport across membranes, specifically with regard to nervous function and motor end plates. This is a classic example of a mineral to which science has not paid proper attention.
Some people use it to improve alkaline pH in the body. But it is unwise to take such minerals with so little science devoted to understanding its metabolic effects.
Samarium (Sm)
This rare earth mineral is not well understood, except that it was involved in experiments in which it increased the life expectancy of laboratory animals. We know it exists in all animals and humans. In people it is found in white blood cells and in artery walls and in the abdominal muscles. This makes it essential, but unfortunately official biochemistry has little to say about necessary research to establish how much we should be taking.
Essential daily amount: 60 – 200 mcg
Typical diet deficiency: 20-100 mg/situational
Amount in TerraPond: 3 ppm; 15 mcg; 15%*
A metalloid that is closely related to sulfur, it is found in the body in varying amounts from 3 mg to 20 mg. Essential to mammals and higher plants, it is highly effective at protecting cells from damage by free radicals, a source of premature aging and disease. Deficiency in Selenium will cause an increase in susceptibility to virus. It works to balance metabolic processes, increases elimination, inhibits lipids, aids fertility, removes skin spots, and helps restore patients undergoing chemotherapy. Selenium was added to the ―essential‖ list in 1957, then de-listed and listed again in 1989! Even the ―experts‖ struggle with discovery and validation, and are sometimes slow to awaken.
Silicon (Si)
Amount in the average body: 0.73 oz.
Amount in TerraPond: 55.3%; 2.77 grams
Natural colloidal silicon, not to be confused with man-made silicon or silicone, is regenerative to the cells, and improves the health of skin, bones, hair and finger nails. Essential in higher plants and mammals, it encourages the growth of collagen and connective tissue. It helps balance the nervous system, rehydrate skin, promotes healing of tissue, and improves arterial flexibility.
Silicon is needed to support immune function and helps eliminate toxic aluminum, lead and mercury in your body. Yet silicon was not regarded as an essential nutrient for health until 1972!
Silicon, also known as silica is a natural blood thinner and should not be used by people expecting to have surgery. Natural silica is nontoxic in large amounts because it is inert. It is the one substance scientists know will not react with acids or bases. The body can use certain silicates that are in the form of natural clays, particularly Montmorillonite/ Bentonite and Kaolin. These silicates are used to soothe the stomach, eliminate intestinal bacteria and toxins and adsorb waste matter. Some forms of silica in the blood and intestinal tract can attract heavy metals and pathogens and trap them in their ionically charges surfaces, thus aiding internal healing. Note Silicon is not quartz. Quartz is not a health mineral and can irritate connective tissue and nerves. Silica powder, like all mineral powders should not be inhaled.
Silica is also the major platelet mineral that is used to retain mineral nutrients in soils. Thus it is an effective buffer and balancing agent for arable lands. The right silicates can also be used to carry trace minerals to your body in a balanced, buffered sustained release form.
TerraPond is an all-natural colloidal calcium compound that is 55% alumina silicate. This anionic substance is mostly inert and cannot be digested. It is used by nature to deliver and buffer the mineral nutrient supply. However it also holds some pure silicon in colloidal form, some of which can be assimilated into the body. Silica is responsible for the second critical function of TerraPond. Its microscopic crystals have a powerful negative ionic charge to help detoxify the body. No other supplement can provide both functions in one safe, effective compound.
Silver (Ag)
Amount in TerraPond: <1 ppm < 5 mcg
A natural antiseptic and a catalyst for protection from infection within the body. It helps reduce infections and acts as a bactericide. Helps the body resist inflammation and supports immune function. Silver is only present in the body in extremely small amounts. It has become a phenomenon lately and many authorities want its popularity diminished. Yet in clinical studies, colloidal silver continues to prove its potency. It is not advisable to ingest large amounts of silver in any form. If you are trying to take high doses over long periods of time, perhaps the infection you are treating is only a symptom of another, deeper problem that needs resolution.
Essential daily amount: 500mg
Amount in TerraPond: 1.11%; 55 mg; 11%
Sodium is an absolutely vital electrolyte mineral. While it has been demonized in recent years due to over-consumption, a person cannot live without fairly large intake. The problem is that it is overused as a food additive and Americans get way too much of it without compensating with other minerals, throwing their body's Ph off balance. The body jealously guards its intercellular pH, so it will create a cascade of other reactions to maintain this vital chemical context. Thus too much sodium affects cellular and kidney function and causes high blood pressure and edema, and causes calcium, magnesium and potassium to be excreted. While sports drink makers assert that you need sodium when you work out, for most Westerners this is not true.
The sodium cation is the main extracellular (outside cells) cation in animals and is important for nerve function in animals. Sodium must be balanced with potassium. Moreover the best form of sodium is natural sea salt that has sodium chloride and trace minerals. Likewise, TerraPond has natural sodium in balance with higher amounts of compensating trace minerals and with other trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium for proper metabolic interactions.
Strontium (Sr)
Extremely small trace amounts are found in the body, and they do impact our health for bone and tooth health, and anabolic support.
Sulfur (S)
Widely present throughout the body, this trace mineral acts to support hair, skin, nails and cartilage. It is a constituent of fats, body fluids, and skeletal cells. It ensures joint flexibility and helps stabilize the intercellular environment. It has antiallergenic properties and is a building block for many amino acids and therefore proteins. It is a good blood purifier and antitoxin.
Many vitamins and amino acids contain or require sulfides in order to function. Our visual cortex needs a lot of sulfur compounds, as do our bone cells. In fact our bodies use over 250 different sulfuron molecules.
Thulium (Tm)
No known biological role, but stimulates metabolism
Tin ( Sn)
Essential daily amount: 10-20mg
Typical diet deficiency: 5-15 mg
Tin is a trace element that seems to impact energy, well-being and mood. Studies have shown supplementing with tin produces benefits with certain types of headaches, insomnia, asthma, or improvements with digestion, skin, or various aches and pains. Animal studies have shown that tin-deficient diets resulted in poor growth, reduced feeding efficiency, hearing loss, and bilateral (male pattern) hair loss. Tin is found in the aorta, brain, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, ovary, spleen, testes, pancreas, stomach, uterus, and prostate. Symptoms associated with significantly below-normal levels of tin typically include depression and/or fatigue. Natural, colloidal tin is not the same as tin found in manufactured packaging, which is likely harmful. Tin is used as a natural antibacterial for germs such as staphylococci. It even encourages hair growth. Tin was finally recognized as essential in 1975. Even though many people are exposed to tin in processed foods, it is the wrong form of tin and can be toxic. Ionic, colloidal tin is not toxic, and helps supply the body with the trace amounts of tin needed for proper metabolism.
Titanium (Ti)
Amount in TerraPond: 0.68%; 34 mg
The human body contains approximately 700 mg titanium, and our daily intake is approximately 0.8 mg. Only a small part of the total daily intake is absorbed by the body. But even as all bodies contain plenty of titanium, its role as a trace element is unknown. What is known is that it is quite compatible with body organs and boned; the body can tolerate relatively high doses and it does not accumulate. Neither does it cause allergic nor rejection when used as an implant.
Tungsten (W)
Amount in TerraPond: 0.3 ppm; 15 mcg
Perhaps the only time you've ever heard about this mineral is from razor blade commercials popularizing the benefits of Tungsten steel. But what is not evangelized properly by modern nutrition scientists is that tungsten is absolutely needed in trace amounts to help cause a myriad of metabolic processes in the body.
Vanadium (V)
Essential daily amount: 0.5-1 mg
Typical diet deficiency: probable 0.5+ mcg
Amount in TerraPond: 127 ppm; 635 mcg; 75%
This hyper-trace element is becoming recognized for its health-supporting role in human growth, cholesterol, diabetes, metabolic catalysis, bone structure, tooth health and fertility. It stabilizes blood glucose levels for all types of diabetes, and is proven to reduce LDL (―bad‖) cholesterol. It is likely that many Americans are somewhat deficient in this important element. It was listed officially as "essential" in 1975.
Ytterbium (Yb)
The physiological role of Ytterbium is unknown but is said to stimulate the metabolism.
Yttrium (Yb)
Amount in TerraPond: 34 ppm 170 mcg
Yttrium is found in most humans and seems to be a natural hyper-trace element; but its function is not known. Some specialists believe it can improve certain eye disorders and immune function. It is a very interesting mineral in that when heated, it can transport energy without resistance, making it an ideal semiconductor.
Typical diet deficiency: 8-10 mcg
Amount in the average body: 0.092%
Amount in TerraPond: 97 ppm; .49 mg; 5-10%*
Zinc is the key component of many enzymes, and is important in the formation of protein, insulin, keratin and collagen. Zinc plays a role in reproduction and also sexual maturation. Zinc deficiency results in stunted growth and in male sexual immaturity. This is reversed on the addition of zinc in the diet. Zinc helps tissue heal, acts as an antioxidant and improves immune function.
Zinc deficiency in soils around the world is a significant and worsening nutrition problem.
* A daily dose of TerraPond adds between 5 and 10% of the zinc many nutrition experts believe is necessary for health. These minerals are highly bio-available on demand. This is because they are colloidal, ionic compounds of nano-molecular size, and because they are delivered in a buffered silicate, so that substances which are needed by the body can be readily assimilated, and substances that are not needed can be safely carried through the system. Minerals safely attract and removes cationic toxins and heavy metals that the body discards through the bile and colon.

Fall mushroom festivals, hunts, and dinners
Mike Groll/AP
Fungi: Ample fall rains in New York State have produced a bumper crop of mushrooms, including these Indigo laccaria mushrooms at Acra, N.Y.
MENDOCINO, Calif.
If the mere mention of chanterelles and morels gets you salivating, consider a trip to a mushroom festival this fall.
Mendocino County, about 90 miles north of San Francisco, hosts a Mushroom Festival, Nov. 7-16, with hunts for chanterelles, porcinis, morels, and rarer varieties such as the candy cap and hedgehog mushroom. Mushroom-themed dinners are offered throughout the area, along with mushroom cooking classes and a seminar on the healing power of mushrooms.
The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardenhosts mushroom walks on Mondays between Nov. 17 and Jan. 26, at 1:30 p.m., and mushroom identification workshops, Nov. 22 and 29 and Dec. 20, . Other events include a Mushroom Exhibit at the Ford House Museum in Mendocino Village and a mushroom train ride, Nov. 15, departing Fort Bragg or Willits Depot, on the Skunk Train.
On Vancouver Island in British Columbia, the Aerie Resort hosts a half-day Great Fall Mushroom Hunt each Saturday in October. The cost is about $125 ($130 Canadian) and includes transportation from the resort to forested hunting areas and a three-course lunch.
Also on Vancouver Island's west coast, the annual Bamfield Mushroom Festivaltakes place Oct. 18 in Bamfield with events including a mushroom hunt, mushroom derby, dinner, and dance.
On Washington's Long Beach Peninsula, the Wild Mushroom Celebrationincludes a month of mushroom-centric dinners and tastings, from an Oct. 10 dinner at the Depot Restaurant in Seaview to a Nov. 6 dinner at the Tuscany Cafe at the Port of Ilwaco.
The Lake Quinault Lodge in Washington's Olympic National Forest hosts the Quinault Rain Forest Mushroom Festival, Oct. 17-19. The event features mushroom walks, mushroom collecting seminars, cooking and identification classes, tips for growing mushrooms, and activities for kids.
The Wild About Mushrooms Co., based in Forestville, Calif., offers mushroom-themed trips including the Oregon Cascades Foray, Oct. 12-16, which includes hunting for chanterelles, porcini, matsutake, lion's mane, and other varieties.
Madisonville, Texas, about 90 minutes from Houston, calls itself the "Mushroom Capital of Texas" and is hosting a Mushroom Festivalon Oct. 25, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. The event includes cooking demonstrations; arts, crafts, and food vendors; and a Shiitake 5K Run/Walk.

Revolution, the Manchester velodrome track series, kicks off on October 14th. Splash the cash and you could be guided on a pre-event track taster session by a cycling superstar. There are also VIP boxes and better-than-ever hospitality packages on offer. Most, however, are gone so get in quick.
The riders confirmed for the first event on October 14th are ex-pros Andrea Tafi, Franco Ballerini, Silvio Martinello, Ralf Sorensen, and Max Sciandri. Current riders include Rob Hayles, Chris Newton, Theo Bos, Mickael Bourgain, Chris Hoy, Craig MacLean, and Jamie Staff, the creme de la creme of track riders.
One of those stars could lead you and your guests on a pre-event track taster session. This is a bespoke event and prices depend on the star you request and the amount of folks you invite to the session. The taster session is only available for the October event.
Twelve of the sixteen VIP tables in the track centre hospitality area have already been booked for the October 14th series starter. Bike trade companies such as Science in Sport will be wining and dining retailers at the event but there will also be representation from non bike trade companies.
James Pope of Face Partnership, organising company behind the series, said a big push had been carried out in the Greater Manchester region to sell corporate hospitality packages to companies who have never been to cycle events before.
"Revolution is three hours of non-stop action, twice the length of a football match. And the VIP guests get up close to the athletes," said Pope.
Corporate guests get free food and drink included in the hospitality price. The catering is being handled by Taste which specialises in 'creative food experiences'. The wine sponsor is Ravenswood Wines.
"With Ravenswood on board as the new wine sponsor and the complimentary bar providing the necessary liquid refreshment, track centre at Revolution delivers a new, exciting offering for sports fans and foodies alike," said Pope.
"VIP track centre tickets will provide exclusive access via the VIP entrance to the new look track centre area. Guests will be greeted with drinks and canapés and will be shown to their table to collect their complimentary event programmes.
"As the racing gets underway track centre will provide an intense close up perspective of the action with tables being just metres away from the track. Star riders will mingle with guests during breaks in racing."
Track centre tickets start at £75 per ticket.
For larger parties there's a Revolution hospitality box with its own bar.
Bike trade companies could sponsor one or more of the star riders and at the end of the evening they are presented with a signed branded jersey by the rider.

Новгородский карабинерный полк — один из кавалерийских полков Русской императорской армии XVIII века.

Старшинство полка — с 1701 года.

Полковой праздник — ?.

История
Сформирован 13 июня 1701 года как драгунский полковника князя Никиты Мещерского полк в Москве князем Голициным, из дворян и дворянских недорослей Заоцких, Подмосковных и Низовых городов. С 1702 года — драгунский полковника князя Григория Волконского полк: в Северной войне в Эстляндии в делах при Гумельсгофе, Роненбурге, Смильтене. С 1703 года — драгунский полковника Николая Инфланта полк. В 1705 году — в Курляндии в делах при Мур-Мызе и взятии замка Бауска.  В 1706 году полк участвовал в сражении при Калише.

С октября 1706 года — Новгородский драгунский полк. В 1708 году — в бою при Кадине и в сражении при Лесной. В 1709 году — в Полтавской баталии. В 1710 — под Выборгом, Кексгольмом, Гельсингфорсом. В 1711 — в Прутском походе и в сражении на реке Прут. В 1722—1723 гг. — в Персидском походе. С 16 февраля по 6 ноября 1727 года — 1-й Белгородский Драгунский полк. С 6 ноября 1727 года — вновь Новгородский Драгунский полк.

В 1728 году установлено ротные знамёна в полку делать белые. 8 марта 1730 года полку присвоен герб: в золотом гербовом щите на белом поле жёлтый престол с красной подушкой на верху которого три жёлтых подсвечника, с горящими свечами. Под престолом скрещенные золотые скипетр и крест. По сторонам престола два чёрных медведя. В 1732 году полку выдана на изготовление цветных знамён жаркой камки.

В 1736 году полк участвовал в Крымском походе графа Миниха и был при штурме Перекопа. В 1737 году — при штурме и взятии Очакова. С 5 октября 1743 года полк расквартирован в Слободской области. С 19 февраля 1762 года — Новгородский Кирасирский полк. Полк получил штандарты: один белый с жёлтыми углами и четыре — красные с жёлтыми углами, с рисунком, как в армейских пехотных полках, но с золотой бахромой. С 25 апреля 1762 года — Кирасирский генерал-майора Виттена полк. С 05 июля 1762 года — вновь Новгородский драгунский полк.

С 14 марта 1763 года — Новгородский карабинерный полк, в составе пяти эскадронов, по две роты каждый. C 1763 года чины полка имели эполеты плетёные из жёлтого, белого, красного и чёрного гаруса. К 1766 году полк входит в состав Санкт-Петербургской Дивизии. Расквартирован в городе Порхове. В 1769 году с большей частью войск Санкт-Петербургской Дивизии командирован в отдельный корпус генерал-поручика Веймарна для действий против польских конфедератов. Полк активно и успешно воевал в Великой Польше (воеводства: Мазовецкое и ) до 1773 года.

При реформе кавалерии 24 октября 1775 года расформирован — 4 действующих эскадрона распределены в качестве 6-х эскадронов в Нарвский, Ямбургский, Каргопольский и Псковский карабинерные полки.

Cavid Bey, oft auch Dschawid Beg (; * 1875 in Selânik; † 26. August 1926 in Ankara), war ein osmanisch-Dönme Ökonom, Zeitungsverleger und führender Politiker der zweiten Verfassungsära. Als Sabbatianer und Mitglied des Komitees für Einheit und Fortschritt (KEF) war er Teil der Jungtürken und hatte verschiedene Positionen in der Regierung inne, nachdem die Osmanische Verfassung wieder in Kraft gesetzt wurde. Wegen eines Attentatsversuches am türkischen Staatsgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk wurde er unter der Regierung der Republikanischen Volkspartei gehängt.

Frühe Jahre und Aufstieg
Cavid wurde in Selânik geboren, damals das osmanische Vilâyet Saloniki, heute Griechenland. Sein Vater war der Händler Naim, seine Mutter hieß Pakize. Sie waren alle Dönme, also Juden, die nur oberflächlich den Islam annahmen, um der moslemischen Diskriminierung zu entgehen, im Geheimen jedoch den jüdischen Glauben auslebten.

Cavid studierte Wirtschaftswissenschaften in Istanbul an der  Mekteb-i Mülkiye-i Şahane. Nach Abschluss 1896 arbeitete er als Bankkaufmann und später als Lehrer.

Später wurde er Ökonom und Zeitungsherausgeber. Nachdem er 1902 nach Saloniki zurückgekehrt war, um die Fevziye-Schule zu leiten, trat Cavid Bey dem Komitee für Einheit und Fortschritt (KEF) bei. Nach der Jungtürkischen Revolution 1908 und der Wiedereinsetzung der Verfassung wurde er bei den Wahlen 1908 Abgeordneter für Saloniki und Kale-i Sultaniye (Çanakkale) im Abgeordnetenhaus. Nach dem Vorfall vom 31. März 1909 wurde Cavid Bey zum Minister für Finanzen im Kabinett von Großwesir Tevfik Pascha ernannt. Er gewann bei den Wahlen 1912 und erneut sein Abgeordnetenmandat, was er bis 1918 behielt.

Laut Ernst Jäckh stand der Innenminister Talât Pascha während des Völkermords an den Armeniern mit seinen Massakern im Widerspruch zum Finanzminister Dschawid Bey und zum Herausgeber der regierungstreuen Zeitung "Tanin", Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın:  Bis zum Waffenstillstand von Moudros 1918 am Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges spielte Cavid Bey eine wichtige Rolle in der KEF. Auch repräsentierte er das Osmanische Reich bei den Nachkriegs-Finanzverhandlungen in London und Berlin. Nachdem sein Angebot, der türkischen Nationalbewegung von Mustafa Kemal Pascha beizutreten, abgelehnt wurde, ging er in die Schweiz. Er war Teil der Delegation in Lausanne, geriet aber in Streit mit İsmet Pascha.

Republikanische Ära
1921 heiratete Cavid Bey in der Schweiz Aliye Nazlı, die geschiedene Frau eines Prinzen, und kehrte 1922 nach Istanbul zurück. 1924 wurde ihr Sohn Osman Şiar geboren; nach Cavid Beys Hinrichtung wurde sein Sohn von seinem engen Freund Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın aufgezogen. Nach dem Inkrafttreten des Familiennamengesetzes 1934 übernahm Osman Şiar den Nachnamen Yalçın.

In den frühen Jahren der Ära unter der Republikanischen Volkspartei (CHP) versuchte Cavid Bey zusammen mit dem Zeugen des Völkermords an Armeniern, Hafız Mehmed, und Doktor Nazim in Izmir den türkischen Staatsgründer und Präsidenten Mustafa Kemal Pascha zu ermorden. Nach umfassenden Regierungsermittlungen wurde Cavid Bey zum Tod verurteilt und am 26. August 1926 in Ankara durch Hängen hingerichtet. Dreizehn weitere, darunter die KEF-Mitglieder Ahmed Şükrü und Ismail Canbulat, wurden des Landesverrats für schuldig befunden und gehängt.

Die Briefe, die Cavid Bey seiner Frau Aliye Nazlı während seiner Inhaftierung schrieb, wurden ihr erst nach seiner Hinrichtung übergeben. Sie veröffentlichte die Briefe als Buch mit dem Titel Zindandan Mektuplar (″Briefe aus dem Verlies″).

Im Jahre 1950 wurden Cavid Beys körperliche Überreste in den Städtischen Friedhof Cebeci in Ankara transferiert und dort begraben.

Q: How to present a view controller before main one is loaded? I have a view controller but in the viewDidLoad() method I call another method named authenticateUserAndConfigureView() in which when the current user is nil it presents another view controller. However, it presents with it with a little delay - it firstly loads the main view controller and then the second one from the authenticateUserAndConfigureView() method.
Why is that?
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    authenticateUserAndConfigureView()

Police officer nearly run over during scuffle at Wal-Mart
By Malcolm Hall and Lori Monsewicz
Repository staff writers
Nov 14, 2016 at 9:48 PM Nov 15, 2016 at 2:13 PM
A Canton police reportedly was nearly run over outside a Wal-Mart as three theft suspects attempted to drive away.
CANTON Police arrested a wanted woman, her homeless ex-boyfriend and another man after a shoplifting-gone-wrong at a local Wal-Mart and an ensuing police chase.
Stark County Jail records said the following were arrested at 7:24 p.m. Monday in the 1200 block of Roslyn Avenue SW:
• Erin J. Buckley, 40, of 2222 Third St. NE
• Eric D. Thurman Sr., 46, of 2041 Third St. NE
• Troy A. Gordon, 49, described in jail records as Buckley's homeless ex-boyfriend.
Jail records said Buckley was in the store at 4004 Tuscarawas St. W when she helped herself to undisclosed items, stuffing them into a tote bag inside a Wal-Mart store and then tried to leave without paying for them. When confronted by a police officer, she struggled and ran to a waiting vehicle driven by Thurman. Gordon, who had been a passenger, got out of the vehicle.
"She got into a vehicle with two men," police Sgt. Steven Swank said. "One of the males helped her. He grabbed the officer."
Gordon shoved the officer away from the vehicle, climbed back inside and Thurman backed up toward the officer before driving away.
"Apparently, there were other witnesses that said that also," Swank said. "I don't think he had a Taser on him. I believe he drew his firearm when they tried to run him over in the car. He took evasive action and was able to retreat without being hit."
The officer did not fire his weapon.
Other police officers joined in the pursuit.
A chase ensued and, after a brief pursuit in the neighborhood around the Wal-Mart store, police were able to stop the vehicle.
"They took us on a short vehicle chase," Swank said. "It was slow-speed. They made it a few blocks away. Our officers were able to apprehend them with no injuries."
Also, the Wal-Mart merchandise was recovered.
Buckley, Thurman and Gordon were each jailed on charges of felonious assault on a police officer. Thurman was additionally charged with aggravated robbery and failure to comply with police, and Gordon was charged additionally with resisting arrest and complicity to aggravated robbery.
Buckley, who was already wanted on four theft warrants, was jailed on those warrants, the felonious assault charge and charges of aggravated robbery, identity fraud and felony escape. She was also jailed on a parole violation.
She is considered by the state prison system to be "dangerous and possibly armed," according to Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction records. The records show she went to prison in 2014 for robbery and failure to comply with police, but was released from prison on Sept. 9. Since then she has been labeled a violator-at-large and authorities have been looking for her, the records show.
Stark County court records also show she went to prison in 2008 for cocaine possession.
Court records show Thurman went to prison in 1995 for aggravated drug trafficking. The records also show that Gordon went to prison in 1993 for robbery, in 2004 for felonious assault, in 2011 for felony intimidation of a crime victim and felony domestic violence, and in 2013 for felony domestic violence.
Prison records show he was still on parole Monday night when he was arrested.
All three remained in the jail early Tuesday. Gordon and Buckley were held in lieu of $100,000 bond apiece and Thurman in lieu of $50,000 bond.

These festive candies offer a sweet-tart burst of color, flavor and texture to salads and to ice cream, chocolate cake or other desserts.
Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each fruit, then cut vertically through the peel to the fruit, spacing the cuts about 1 inch apart. Remove the peel from each fruit. Reserve fruit for another use.
If you are using the peel to make a candy instead of chopping it, cut each peel section lengthwise into strips 1/4 inch wide. If you will be chopping it, leave the peel sections whole, as they are easier to work with.
In a saucepan, combine 3 quarts of the water and the peel over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until only 1 inch or so of the water remains in the pan, about 1 hour. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peels to a bowl and set aside. Discard liquid.
In a nonreactive saucepan, combine the remaining 2 cups water with 1 cup of the sugar and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir the still-warm peels into the syrup. Let peels stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature. Return pan to low heat and cook peels, stirring occasionally, until they have absorbed all of the syrup, about 30 minutes. The peels will become translucent and amber. During the last stages of cooking, keep a close eye on the peels to prevent scorching.
When peels are ready, remove the pan from the heat and transfer peels to a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper, arranging them in a single layer. Let dry overnight. To sugar them, place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar on a fresh piece of waxed paper or parchment paper and roll the fruit in it, adding more sugar if needed. Let stand again overnight. Transfer to an airtight container and store in a dry place for up to 2 weeks.
Note: Valencia oranges are the best choice here, as they most resemble the bitter Seville oranges probably used in the original English recipe. Navel oranges will suffice if you don't have Valencias. Use Lisbon or Eureka lemons, as the peel of the Meyer lemon is too thin.
