The Blood House, Sarer Scotthorne
This is Sarer Scotthorne's first collection, published by Hesterglock Press in January, a ruby which dropped into my palms at the Bristol launch of Boscombe Revolution 3.
These poems demand to be read in one go; the pages are bursting with movement, quaking with emotion and physicality, fighting to break free of their constraints.
They wrangle with the stuff of life, of our closest relationships: grief and anguish; disappointment and despair; longing and desire. There is no holding back – the language is forceful, honest to the point of brutality, making for a challenging but visceral one-sitting read.
Scotthorne negotiates the loss of her father, the shock of the grief, invoking the myth of Oedipus in in her sequence, Poison
"down the lead pipes, rattling the fragments left in shattered windows.
A token from his once industrial; I bound a shard of glass and searched
The urine-scented halls until found his sleeping body on a shock of Ragwort."
From Scene 1. Alone
Imagery juxtaposes machinery and corporeality, combined with inner city landscape; the decay of industry, concrete images of the mix of human detritus from sweat to beer cans, with perennial weeds- nature's creeping into the liminal spaces we barely notice but recognise as part of our environment in contemporary urban life. Places of transformation.
Saraswati Murmurs, which is beautifully scored on the page, offers respite from the aftershocks of grief and seems to be a point of letting go:
"step onto soft mud
and slipped under the water I wanted turned
water my body…"
Blood runs through this collection as the red thread of life. Cold metal and warm blood. Blood as a signifier for wounding and loss, of fear; blood as a threat; blood as heat; blood as contamination; blood as life; blood as acknowledgment of a beating heart, of reawakened desire; as life giver and as revival.
The Blood House is a courageous journey, pulsing with truth. Read it.

"London: City of Surveillance" Iain Sinclair in conversation
"Surveillance abuses the past while fragmenting the present." 150,000 cameras watch London, at all heights, all angles. "The city is eyes, the city is an organic identity watching itself", according to Iain Sinclair. Sinclair, psychogeographer, poet and writer is in conversation with Sebastian Groes at Roehampton University, discussing the poetics of surveillance culture, March 2011.
Sinclair jokes that he started to plan what he would talk about during this conversation the night before on the bus, to laughs of recognition from the audience. He decided to start by counting the number of CCTV cameras he could see from the window he was looking out of on the top deck of the bus which was travelling from Hoxton to The Strand. Approximately 50-60 yards down the road he counted camera number 17 by the sign of a pub, 'The William Blake', close to Bunhill Fields where the infamous triumvirate of non-conformists Blake, Defoe and Bunyan are buried, outsiders, outside of the City. By the time he reached The Strand he had counted 76 cameras, which he says are "redundant – like mantraps in a museum".
Surveillance did not begin with CCTV cameras – the City had its reliable surveillance as far back as Elizabethan times in the form of the Church, where one could be fined for not attending. Sinclair investigated the old Eastern Bloc card index file technology, the everyone-watching-everyone-else surveillance culture in one of his lesser known novels, Radon Daughters. Sinclair says this was the first book of his that William Gibson read, Gibson being the writer credited with coining the term "cyberspace".
He was also involved in the Congress on the Dialectics of Liberation conference held in 1967 at the Roundhouse in Camden, London. He says that two of the main strands of discussion at the time were the eco catastrophe of the melting polar ice caps, and surveillance, public versus private and in the context at the time of suspicion about the American military spying on the general public. Sinclair describes this as a "meeting of the tribes", where these strands of thought, then groundbreaking, were taken to heart by the counterculture, as expressed in the work of Charles Olson in poems such as Polis is Eyes and in the work of Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, amongst others.
Ginsberg thought that this idea of everything being pushed out into the open, no more secrets, would give rise to a more compassionate and tolerant civilisation, forced to acknowledge and accept everything normally swept under the carpet in polite society. In a world of reality TV, Facebook and Twitter has this been achieved? Or have we ended up with something different instead?
Sinclair is no doubt where this is going and what is going to happen next: "London ceases to exist…it becomes virtual". We are now living in a "post-surveillance age with no obvious CCTV cameras". This is the age of intelligent buildings, with one building in particular singled out as an example of this in his book London Orbital, the Siebel building in Egham: "Siebel, recognised at once, was the future. Post-surveillance. A discretion so absolute, so understated, that criminality and vandalism were impossible concepts. Siebel was the visible manifestation of Ballard's coming Mediparc psychopathology: intelligent buildings for soberly dressed, quiet, indecently healthy people…Siebel immortals float through a chlorine-glass tank. Doing nothing."
Iain Sinclair's latest book, "Ghost Milk: Calling Time on the Grand Project" is published by Penguin in July 2011

Blogs give readers the inside story
Computer Weekly's three new blogs from leading IT commentators and practitioners offer IT professionals an interactive and informative forum
Computer Weekly has three new blogs live on its website, bringing readers authoritative views from leading IT commentators and practitioners. The blogs will offer readers the best in critical thinking on security, risk management and lessons from project management.
Our bloggers include David Lacey, an internationally recognised security expert after two decades developing security practices for some of the UK's biggest companies. Lacey will offer practical advice and critical analysis of tomorrow's security threats and countermeasures.
Stuart King is our second blogger. A practising risk manager at publishing giant Reed Elsevier, he will share the day-to-day challenges and frustrations of this increasingly important area of corporate governance.
Completing the line-up is Tony Collins, Computer Weekly's award-winning investigative journalist, who has made his name exposing waste and promoting accountability in major public sector IT projects. Collins will share his thoughts on the lessons that other IT directors can learn.
David Lacey on security
Security expert David Lacey plans to use his blog to help security professionals plan for the risks of the future.
"I am a firm believer in embracing risks rather than hiding my head in the sand," he said.
Lacey will draw on more than 20 years of experience, including pioneering work on the now ubiquitous BS7799 security standard, to bring new insights into the issues facing security professionals.
"I try to stay at the cutting edge and innovate as much as I can. I would like to share that know-how," he said.
Lacey offers IT security professionals, who may sometimes by too busy doing their day job to take time out to reflect for long on broader issues, views and advice on issues such as deperimeterisation, human behaviour and social computing.
He will draw on his experience developing security and risk management operations for firms including Royal Dutch Shell, the Royal Mail, and the Foreign Office.
"I am very opinionated so to have my soapbox is nice. I really enjoy offering people practical advice and ideas."
www.computerweekly.com/blogs/David_Lacey
Stuart King on risk management
Stuart King, a risk management specialist at Reed Elsevier, has some strong views he would like to share with other security practitioners.
"It is good to have a forum to put across some of my views outside my normal working environment, where I am a little bit constrained," he said.
King hopes that the blog will attract plenty of feedback from risk managers. "I am looking forward to the reactive element of the blog. I aim to promote debate on the topics I am writing about and be responsive to feedback. Two-way traffic is great," he said.
The blog is likely to appeal to people who have a management interest in security, people who are responsible for defining product requirements, or need to consider security from other parts of the business.
"Some of my views might be a little off the wall, but at the end of the day we do not know where the next threats are coming from and we have to take well-judged risks," he said.
www.computerweekly.com/blogs/Stuart_King
Tony Collins on IT projects
Tony Collins is an award-winning journalist who specialises in writing about public sector IT projects. He has chosen "lessons learned" as the theme for his new blog.
"I will be writing about how lessons from history need to be taken forward and applied to future projects, rather than being forgotten. Everyone knows good practice - the difficulty is getting adherence to it," he said.
Collins' blog will give people access to useful information that may not be readily available elsewhere. He plans to provide links from the blog to information or documents that might otherwise be difficult to find online.
Another theme will be the need for greater openness and transparency in IT projects. And here, in particular, Collins said he is keen for reader feedback.
"I have not blogged before, so I will be learning along the way and would love to hear from our readership. I will be trying to practice what I preach by learning to adapt, but I am really interested to hear others' views."

SpaceX CRS-20
Photos: SpaceX cargo capsule returns to Southern California after space station mission
SpaceX technicians offloaded a Dragon cargo capsule from its recovery ship Thursday after returning the thrice-flown supply freighter to the Port of Los Angeles, marking the final planned return of a Dragon spacecraft to the West Coast.
With successful splashdown, SpaceX retires first version of Dragon spacecraft
For the final time, a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule was released from the International Space Station's robotic arm Tuesday and splashed down hours later in Pacific Ocean southwest of Los Angeles. Beginning later this year, SpaceX will fly upgraded Dragon freighters that will dock automatically with the space station and parachute into the Atlantic Ocean east of Florida.
Live coverage: Dragon supply ship departs space station
A SpaceX Dragon cargo freighter departed the International Space Station Tuesday for return to Earth, wrapping up the 20th and final visit to the orbiting research complex for the current version of SpaceX's supply ship before an upgraded Dragon starts launching later this year. Release from the space station's robotic arm occurred at 9:06 a.m. EDT (1306 GMT), followed by splashdown in the Pacific Ocean at 2:50 p.m. EDT (1850 GMT).
Pandemic prompts few changes to busy month on space station
U.S. and Russian vehicles ferrying crews and cargo will continue traveling to and from the International Space Station this month, sustaining the orbiting lab in its 20th year of continuous human occupation amid an escalating pandemic on Earth.
Photos: Falcon 9 launches and lands at Cape Canaveral
A Falcon 9 rocket fired into a late-night sky Friday night over Cape Canaveral with a Dragon supply ship bound for the International Space Station. Eight minutes later, the booster returned to Florida's Space Coast for SpaceX's 50th landing of a Falcon first stage.
Astronauts capture SpaceX cargo capsule with robot arm for final time
For the final time, a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule approached the International Space Station Monday for capture with the research lab's robotic arm, delivering more than 4,300 pounds of food, experiments and spare parts. Future Dragon resupply missions will use a new spaceship design to automatically dock with the space station.
Late-night launch of SpaceX cargo ship marks end of an era
Taking aim on the International Space Station, nine kerosene-burning rocket engines powered a SpaceX Falcon 9 launcher into a clear sky over Florida's Space Coast on Friday night to begin the final flight of the first version of the company's Dragon cargo ship.
Launch timeline for SpaceX's 20th space station resupply mission
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket will go from Cape Canaveral to low Earth orbit in less than 10 minutes Friday night with a Dragon capsule heading for the International Space Station carrying more than 4,300 pounds of supplies and experiments.
Space station to receive new outdoor deck for science experiments
An Airbus-owned, German-built outdoor science deck is set for launch Friday night from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule, heading for the International Space Station to make the orbiting research outpost more accessible for commercial space experiments.
Live coverage: Dragon supply ship arrives at space station
Wrapping up a two-day pursuit since launching from Cape Canaveral, a SpaceX Dragon supply ship arrived at the International Space Station Monday with more than two tons of cargo and experiments. The automated cargo freighter was captured by the station's robotic arm at 6:25 a.m. EDT (1025 GMT).

Fate of former Canada Bread plant still up in the air
Fate of former Canada Bread…
It seemed as though 2013 would be the year that the 101-year old former Canada Bread plant at 258 Burnell Street saw a revival. Perhaps not.
The building has been an ominous presence since it was vacated in 1998. Poorly shuttered and with no sprinkler system, it was the scene of a small fire created by squatters in 2011.
Later that year, the city began proceedings to seize its title under the Vacant Buildings Bylaw. The owners, Burnell Investments Ltd., managed to get a number of 90-day extensions to the order by making modest improvements and with the promise that they were "in discussions" about a redevelopment plan.
In December 2012 the owners held an open house to show off drawings for a proposal that would convert the building into 80 rental suites with some retail on the main floor. It was clear, though, that it was not a done deal as financing for the venture was not yet in place.
Still, over the summer of 2013 the site saw more action than it had in the 15 years since Canada Bread left. Crews spent months clearing out the building to ready it for its eventual conversion.
The latest appeal hearing regarding the seizure was to take place on December 3, 2013. A letter written to the city by Burnell Investments' lawyers dated November 27, 2013 refers to the company as the former owners of the property and that the appeal was being withdrawn.
What happens now is unclear. The building obviously has new owners who will almost certainly be contacting the city before it ends up taking action. No doubt aware of the pending seizure, one assumes that they have their own redevelopment scheme ready to present.
Should the city end up seizing the complex, their first step would be to try and sell the property. Given its great location, just steps from a major shopping node on Portage Avenue, and the fact that it is now cleared out in preparation for a redevelopment, it's likely that there would be interest in it. If not, the city would order its demolition.

Ohh.. I just love summer. So many fresh delicious fruits that are just waiting to be picked up. These sunny days are calling for refreshing drinks and time has come for a peach drink.
Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. Since they are in season I started to do peach drinks for my family almost every morning. I love to have refreshing fruity drinks during the summertime as they are making a great start of the day and not only. If made with a little gin or rum turns them into refreshing summertime cocktails perfect for evening gatherings.
This drink is very easy to make, requires very little time and all you have to do next is to enjoy it under the sun.
Place the peach slices in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add lemon juice, sugar, water and ice cubes. Puree until smooth.
Add ice to serving glasses and fill each glass with peach juice. Garnish with peach slice and mint leaves.
I really love the bottles/glasses that the peach drink was served in. May I ask you where I could get some like that. I really love the way they look. Thanks so much for the help and I love all the great idea's you have.
Thank you for your appreciation. The bottles I used here are from some Heinz Chili sauce I bought and I kept the bottles and took the labels off. I liked their shape and I finally used them. Hope you can find in stores too.
I was looking for drinks to make with the ten dozen fresh peaches I ended up with this year, and this one is my favorite so far! I added some malibu and grenadine for a little adult twist and it's delicious!
I am glad you liked it. I'm sure the grenadine and malibu worked just perfect with this.
Delicious...changed a little bit...used Volcano Lemon Juice, Premio Peach Moscato instead of water, and a little cinnamon. The wine tastes like fresh peaches. The cinnamon enhances the peach flavors. A friend said it tastes like fresh peach cobbler but in a glass!
I will try it too. Thanks for the idea!

Climate change affects bugs, drugs, plants, and people! Rising temperatures mean increased vector-borne/zoonotic infections, decreased efficacy of medications and patient access to medications, as well as increased potency of plant-borne illness and decreased biodiversity. Most important, it means poor health outcomes for our patients.
Addressing health care equity is crucial when it comes to climate change. Vulnerable populations are disproportionately affected, and social determinants of health are front and center.
COVID-19 has exposed our fragile health care system. There are many steps we can take to build climate-smart, climate-resilient health systems to prepare for when disaster strikes. You can:
Start a conversation about climate change in your program or medical school
Incorporate health policy education into your curriculum, research, or QI projects
Seek multi-disciplinary collaborators
Get involved with organizations within your hospital or on the national stage
You can talk about climate change with your patients! For example, for your patients with asthma, discuss risks stemming from pollen and air pollution. For your patients who work outside, talk about heat index and cooling measures.
You are a leader: What can you do to inspire and engage? Channel the fierce urgency of now into action!

Aluminum alloys of the 6000 series (Al-Mg-Si) are among the most prevalent and established structural materials in the world. Their use dates back decades, and currently they are crucial to the construction and transportation industries. One of the primary reasons for this is heat-treatability, i.e. the ability to control strength and ductility relationships with a relatively low temperature artificial aging treatment. Although multiple aluminum alloys can be employed for this purpose (e.g. 2000, 7000 series), Al-Mg-Si alloys are capable of achieving a highly attractive combination of moderate to high strength (sometimes > 350 MPa UTS), high ductility (>20% elongation), and excellent corrosion resistance, extrudability, weldability, and surface finish.
The largest unknown in the world of 6000 series alloys today is a result of natural aging (NA) prior to artificial aging (AA), and the rather mysterious impacts on strengthening precipitation and hardenability that are produced. The origins of these impacts involve complex interactions between solute atoms, solute-clusters, and vacancies, which ultimately influence the kinetics and thermodynamics of precipitation. Although this has been the topic of extensive research in recent years, the actual mechanisms responsible are still very controversial.
This dissertation will focus on the effects of prior natural aging on artificial age hardening response under a wide range of compositional and heat treatment conditions. Ultimately it will be shown that the behavior of naturally aged solute-clusters during artificial aging is dependent on alloy composition, and furthermore that these clusters are directly responsible for the changes in strengthening precipitation and performance.
General background to the topic and an overview of the experimental methods are described in Chapters 1-2. The most important chapters of this dissertation are Chapters 3-4, which focus on the influence of prior NA in high strength Al-Mg-Si alloys after a water quench from the solutionization temperature. In Chapter 3, a compositional (Mg/Si) dependence of the NA effect is identified, and proposed to due to a corresponding dependence of NA cluster stability during artificial aging. In Chapter 4, the actions of NA clusters at AA temperatures are investigated with atom probe tomography, and the relative thermal stabilities suggested in Chapter 3 are proven. The rest of the dissertation includes studies focused on the NA effect under different compositional and heat-treatment conditions, using the previous cluster thermal stability findings to aid in analysis (Chapter 5). Mechanical property characterization of key experimental conditions is performed in Chapter 6, and good agreement with the previous results is found. Finally, key conclusions, implications, and suggested future work is summarized in Chapter 7 & 8.

Anton Ausserer, (abreviado Ausserer), fue un naturalista austríaco especialista en arañas, nacido el 5 de julio de 1843 en Bolzano (en el Tirol) y fallecido el 20 de julio de 1889 en Graz, de una bronquitis.

Fascinado desde muy temprana edad por la Historia Natural, pero huérfano a los 15, se las arregló para continuar su educación, dando clases particulares. En 1863, se convirtió en un protegido del profesor Heller, quien le animó a estudiar las arañas . Ganó un concurso de Historia Natural, lo que le permite seguir el estudio un poco más cómodo.

Se convirtió en un profesor de Feldkirch, en 1867 luego en 1869 de Innsbruck. Allí, participó en la sociedad de la historia natural de la ciudad y se convirtió en su secretario.
En 1872, se doctoró y enseñó, dos años más tarde, en Graz. Hizo dos viajes, uno a Sicilia en 1880 - 1881 y otro a Egipto en 1886 - 1887. Se casó al año siguiente, pero murió repentinamente en 1889 .

Estudió las arañas del Tirol y se especializa en las tarántulas, es el autor de muchos géneros y muchas especies .

How Can The Church Thrive In A Non-Christian World?
12 Jun, 2019 by Danette J. Ellerman
As we all know, it's election season. This isn't ever a rosy time for America, filled with rainbows and warm hugs. But if the political season of 2016 has taught us anything, it's that the United States is culturally confused. Competing narratives vie for attention, as we're trying to figure out just who we are as a country. There was a time in our history when it seemed like everyone was a Christian. Now, depending on where in America you live, it can seem like no one is a Christian.
Are we losing our Christian heritage? Were we ever a Christian nation to begin with? And how should churches respond to all of this?
However, you read our country's history, it's becoming increasingly clear that we have reached a cultural tipping point. Our society no longer assumes the gospel, which means the Church often stands at odds with the rest of society. That may make us uncomfortable and frightened. We like being in the majority.
But the gospel is always clearer in an age when it is not culturally assumed. The Early Church thrived in the midst of a hostile non-Christian world—not because they were more numerous or more powerful, but because they were both radically distinct and culturally relevant.

Radically Distinct
Many of us in North America, especially the older ones among us, grew up in a context where Christianity was assumed.
It may be more comfortable to grow up in an age when everyone calls themselves Christian, but I would argue that it's actually harmful to the gospel. When the gospel doesn't stand out as distinct, then we domesticate it into our tradition. That's what we see going on in evangelical regions across the country.
Even now, upward of 75% of Americans call themselves Christians. But about two-thirds of that group don't go to church, don't believe the Bible, and don't subscribe to anything like Christian ethics. Sure, they care about Jesus, but it's certainly not central to their lives. These people are nominal Christians—retaining the name of Christ, but just about nothing else.
Recent research from Pew, however, has shown that nominal Christians are disappearing. This is hardly surprising. In the midst of a society that is growing more and more antagonistic toward Christianity, the first to abandon ship are going to be the ones who never really believed in Jesus anyway.
Nominalism is dying. And I say, "Good riddance." I, for one, am ready for the gospel to mean the gospel, and for Christians to be known as Christians. People need to see that "Christian" isn't just a check-box on a questionnaire, but it's a life changed by the gospel.
In a place where most people call themselves Christians (but really aren't), it can be hard to make people see how radically distinct the gospel is. But in a place where most people admit they aren't Christians, where they actually find the gospel offensive, that is where the gospel is going to make an impact.
Being a Christian is more significant in a hostile or indifferent culture than in friendly surroundings.
As nominal Christianity declines, and as more people have the integrity to say, "I don't believe the gospel," the mission of the Church becomes much clearer, and easier. We may not like losing our home field advantage in this country, but it's far easier to share the gospel with those who don't think that they are already right with God.
As nominal Christians drop the façade of religiosity for the honesty of not following a faith at all, it becomes easier to share the gospel.
We can bemoan the loss of Christian influence in our country. Or we can seize this moment for what it is—an opportunity to make much of Jesus and His mission, to show our neighbors that the gospel really is radically distinct, and to realize that we now live in the midst of an enormous mission field.
Culturally Relevant
Culture is always changing. Always. You can resist it or ignore it or grieve it or wish it weren't so, but that won't make it any less real. And the more we insist on doing "business as usual" in our churches, the more we'll find ourselves being ineffective.
In the business world, IBM, Xerox, Kodak, and many others learned this principle the hard way. There are myriad companies, once giants in industry, which either disappeared completely or are shells of what they once were because they did not see the need for change.
So, if we are going to continue to communicate the message of the gospel meaningfully, our churches must change as well. If it feels like you are stepping in a time machine to worship with your church, it's worth asking if that's because you're holding fast to the timeless truth of the gospel, or because you're trapped in your traditionalism. If you think you know the answer to that question, ask it again. And ask others. You may not be as contextual as you think.
Contextualizing the gospel message doesn't make it less distinct. It simply amplifies what makes it distinct. People shouldn't come into our churches and primarily find the culture bizarre. They should find the message of the gospel bizarre.
We don't contextualize to minimize the confrontational claims of Christianity, but to maximize them. It's a matter of putting the gospel into language that our neighbors can hear and understand.
In the midst of a society that wants to do away with Christianity, it's easy to fall into the temptation of wanting to make our churches comfortable refuges. But Jesus calls His Church to mission, which means that the way we do church should focus less on our comfort and more on faithfully reaching the lost.
If our churches have to be a little more uncomfortable to us insiders in order to reach even one lost soul for Christ, that's a sacrifice we should all be willing to make.
Being radically distinct and culturally relevant aren't at odds. They are two sides of the same gospel coin. Jesus came and made his home among us in the most culturally relevant way possible. He embodied the language and culture and traditions of the Jewish people.
And yet he never tired of holding out a gospel message that was radically distinct, challenging all who heard Him to trade in their worthless religion for a true relationship with God.
If we aim for being distinct or relevant, we miss out on the heart of Jesus. He embodied both, and He calls His Church to do the same today.

On a scale from 0-10, how likely are you to recommend Brooke Hodes-Wertz to a friend?
Dr. Hodes treated me like a human and also like a friend. ... With Doctor Hodes I finally feel that I can drop my guard and trust the advice that I'm getting. She is compassionate, smart, patient, communicative and understands the importance of fertility treatment. ... There are two offices and several doctors but she always made it convenient for me to see her when important. She called me back when I had questions and spent extra time explaining things as needed. I felt so comfortable working with Dr.Hodes and will miss being under her care.
How was your experience with Brooke Hodes-Wertz at NYU?
With Doctor Hodes I finally feel that I can drop my guard and trust the advice that I'm getting. She is compassionate, smart, patient, communicative and understands the importance of fertility treatment. She's a great doctor and I felt so comfortable and safe under her care.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brooke Hodes-Wertz at NYU?
Ask as many questions as you have ---she will make time for you and answer them. I always felt bad taking her time during my morning monitoring appointments as she had dozens of patients to see but she always insisted that I asked all my questions as she'd rather answer them in person.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brooke Hodes-Wertz at NYU?
Dr. Hodes treated me like a human and also like a friend. She shared personal information that was relatable and helped me feel comfortable under her care. There are two offices and several doctors but she always made it convenient for me to see her when important. She called me back when I had questions and spent extra time explaining things as needed. I felt so comfortable working with Dr.Hodes and will miss being under her care.
All of the nurses were amazing as they were very friendly and educational. I specifically spoke to Andrea almost every time and she was a fresh breath of air.
I don't have anything negative to say about this clinic. It's very busy and there are a lot of doctors and nurses but I have had a positive experience with each and every one. I never waited more than 5 minutes and I always receive a call or email back within 2 hours.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Brooke Hodes-Wertz at NYU.
Describe Brooke Hodes-Wertz's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at NYU.
NYU as a practice prefers eSET vs. multiple embryo. I asked Dr. Hodes on her opinion and she was very honest and explained the rationale behind it which is ultimately for the patient to give birth to a healthy baby. With multiple embryo transfer the pregnancy is at higher risk and does not increase the chances of a live birth. I know that the clinic would consider multiple embryo transfers depending on the patients prognosis and history but they treat that case by case. Dr. Hodes also went through IVF and had twins and she shared that information with me explaining how much harder her pregnancy and postpartum was with the twins vs. singleton. I really appreciate her honesty and sharing her own personal experience . Going through fertility could be lonely and having a doctor that understands not only the medical part but emotional is very helpful and beneficial to fertility treatment.
Ask this reviewer a question about their experience with Brooke Hodes-Wertz at NYU.
Produced 8 follicles, 5 mature [with Dr. Hodes-Wertz]. Fantastic results for someone with amh of .008...suggested we do pgs testing due to high FSH (when first tested 16 but then dropped) she said it was the best option for us since we were running out of time. Since all embryos will be PGS tested, NYU supports single embryo transfer...was very honest on our first meeting. I was expecting her to turn me down with my numbers but she explained age is the underlying factor and we still had a chance. She did express that we were quickly running out of time and needed to jump straight to IVF.
Dr. Hodes was very honest on our first meeting. I was expecting her to turn me down with my numbers but she explained age is the underlying factor and we still had a chance. She did express that we were quickly running out of time and needed to jump straight to IVF. I was not immediately made aware that I should try and bank eggs.... I found this out at a later appointment. To which she also said I'd probably need a few cycles until we were successful. She gave honest expectations but was never hard about it. I feel she truly cares for the success of my cycle and was excited when we started. I was lucky to see her for all of my week day appointments and she even did my egg retrieval. After receiving the results from genetic testing I requested a call with her in which I heard back in 2 hours. She assured me I can set up a call whenever I need to answer any questions.
Ask as many questions as you'd like. She will answer them all. But also do some research on your own so you have questions to ask. She is the expert, use her !
The entire process of IVF has to be somewhat assembly line like or it would never work with the amount of patients. NYU made me feel like a person to the best of their ability. The west side is a smaller office. Dr. Hodes secretary always answered my emails in a timely fashion. She knew who I was everytime I walked in. All the of the nurses I dealt with were genuially happy to see my cycle progressing well.
Describe the protocols Brooke Hodes-Wertz used in your cycles at NYU and their degree of success.
The nursing staff is very knowledgeable when calling with questions. The nurses line is an answering service, you leave a message and they get back to you same day. They are friendly when coming in for appointments. On the day of retrieval everyone was very positive. It gave a good feeling.
Make sure you educate yourself. The more you know the more you can ask and understand what you can be doing to help in anyway. Google can be scary but it can also can be used to educate and ask. The lab closes twice a year end of July and beginning of December. This was really upsetting as no one told me this and I had my consult beginning of July. I found out when the coordinator called to schedule tests and classes...I have short cycles and missed two cycles due to the closure. Between end of August and December is only 4 cycles. For someone with "not a lot of time" this was devastating. But you have to learn to just roll with it- ivf is a long hard journey, any thing can get thrown off any day.
Dr. Hodes suggested we do pgs testing due to high FSH (when first tested 16 but then dropped) she said it was the best option for us since we were running out of time. Since all embryos will be PGS tested, NYU supports single embryo transfer.
During the 3 cycles [with Dr. Hodes], only once was the treatment adjusted when i had poor response to the fertility drugs. i showed better results then. Not further tests were done to understand if there was another condition other than the obvious factor of age. Later, found by another doctor on the first visit, it was discovered i had a benign tumor on the pituitary gland that was causing lots of issues. this was discovered by simply checking my prolactin levels. I am told by other doctors this should have been checked.
Doctor Brooke is warm and i believe a great physician but i think the NYU set up is not conducive to spending time with any of their patients. Communication is hard since you have to go through a portal or an email. Answers most always come via a nurse and that nurse will be a different person every time. This combined with perhaps a complex case, makes a recipe for a lot of confusion.
Do tons of research and have a lot of questions prepared. I would suggest for anybody to visit an endocrinologist first prior to starting any fertility treatments. I would also suggest to ask if there will be a lead nurse on your case.

I am told by other doctors this should have been checked.
the 3 rounds went pretty much the same. Gonal F + Menapure was always on the list with the same dosage indicated. the one time i showed better results was when Lupron was added for few days.
During your cycles at NYU you will see a slew amount of nurses. Most of them are nice and warm but the issue here is that there is nobody really following your case, nor they have the time. for example: 1) i asked via email what to do with my leftover lupron? and why i had an unused medication called vivelle and what were those for? to that i was left a voicemail that said lupron expires in 30 days. 2) i was told once by one nurse during a cycle, i am confused by your protocol not sure what to do. 3) during the beginning of one of my IVF i realized i had a lot of medication left over from cancelled cycle. i requested that the nurse only provides a prescription for what i needed. but again since nobody is really following your chart she said she could not do that and would leave me on my voice mail the amount she requested to the pharmacy so i can cross reference with my inventory. Then, i called the pharmacy myself to reduce the count of each medication. it is important to call out that fertility medications like Menapure or Gonal can quickly add up to a bill of 5k to 10k depending of the amount. so for me it was really stressful and careless to have gone about it in this manner.
NYU fertility is a renowned for their in-vitro success rates. However, from the computer check in, to the check ups done by whichever doctor in practice available that day, you will begin to understand that if your case is slightly out of the norm and needs a bit of one on one, that you must go to another clinic.
I also somewhat felt like a lot of her [Dr. Hodes-Wertz] recommendations were a shot in the dark guess rather than specific to me and my needs. She also hasn't followed up with me in months...From day one she wanted me to do IVF. However after my persistence, She put me on clomid for an IUI and it sped up my cycle too quickly and I missed the iui opportunity...She's very quick and always feels like she's in a hurry during appointments.
I felt like she had hesitation when I asked if any of the fertility treatments were linked to causing cancer. Once she told me no, other times she would say "well you wouldn't want to do 10 cycles"! And it left me feeling very uneasy and unclear. I also somewhat felt like a lot of her recommendations were a shot in the dark guess rather than specific to me and my needs. She also hasn't followed up with me in months. I feel like she only wants to push IVF because it's most profitable for her. Another reason why I felt like just a number in all honesty.
Ask questions and demand clear answers. She has a way of talking in circles. She wants to tell you what she wants to tell you. Not necessarily what you want to know.
I feel like a number because she doesn't call me to check in and see how I'm doing. She's very quick and always feels like she's in a hurry during appointments.
From day one she wanted me to do IVF. However after my persistence, She put me on clomid for an IUI and it sped up my cycle too quickly and I missed the iui opportunity (because I ovulated on like day 5!). So we lost 2 months because of this. Then she switched me to letrizole which made my cycle a normal 30 days but still no luck with the iui.
There are many nurses and they all seem somewhat confused and overworked. The issue is their phone system. You can't call anyone directly. You have to always leave a message and they call you back. I really dislike this.
Biggest issue is you can't get anyone on the phone. They have an answering service where you leave a message and they call you back at their leisure and what's convenient for them. I'm sorry, but for the money they make they could hire an actual receptionist that works for the doctor.
Co pay only at this time. Insurance covered everything else.
She is pushy for just implanting 1 embryo at a time. She herself has twins (from doing IVF) so I can only assume it's because she wants the potential for more money. However I was told I would have final say and could implant a max of 2 embryos.
I liked her because she doesn't show any emotion. She tell you what she thinks right directly. But I felt that she didn't give me numerous options. "It's only one thing that you should do is this" something like that. She is not bad person, she is good person but not friendly person. She tells me what's happening and what's going to happen to me without comfort. If you want just get to the business without emotional support then she is right for you.
I believe she is experienced doctor with knowledge. But you have to ask her. She is not gonna tell you 1 to 10. I think you should write down what you want to ask before visit. She is not gonna tell you extra info unless you ask.
I don't say it's her fault. But Because of big fertility center like NYU, I didn't feel connected with doctor. She pretty much gives you straightforward answer. There is no hesitation.
She told me I might have PCOS. But not quite sure. I've tried letrozole 2.5mg for first IUI. Then increased dose to 7.5mg at 4th IUI till 6th. I 've tried clomid one time. I have unexplained infertility. So her strategy was normal treatment that increase dose of letrozole.
There were nurses that I see at visit. But I don't know them well and they don't know me well either. Most of them are well trained nurses. But because there are so many patients. Again they are doing their best. But you feel like you are on assembly line.
There is many nurses and workers at facility. They won't remember you. They do their part. So you just show and tell your problems and they will try to fix them. There is no comfort or friendly atmosphere. If you don't want close relationship with doctor or nurse and just focusing on issues, this clinic is the best for you.
It's NYU. I think it was expensive. But most of insurance will cover. Website of NYU says The self-pay fee for an initial consultation with physician is approximately $500. The cost of an IVF cycle using fresh eggs, without genetic testing, starts at $12,650.
I was not there yet. But I think she would transfer one or two embryos. She didn't want me to have multiple babies.
Dr Hodes-Wertz knows how to balance giving blunt diagnosis with warm bedside manner. She has never rushed me and has always spent time to listen to my concerns. I did not feel judged for any of my questions. Dr. Hodes-Wertz is both professional, talented, confident in her practice and kind...took the time to call me on a couple occasions when she needed to provide unpleasant diagnosis and spent the time to answer my questions on the phone and in person in follow up appointments.
Dr. Hodes-Wertz is very kind and patient. She is also very smart and professional. This balance is very comforting as a patient, especially when dealing with a sensitivity of fertility. Dr. Hodes-Wertz took the time to call me on a couple occasions when she needed to provide unpleasant diagnosis and spent the time to answer my questions on the phone and in person in follow up appointments. She never made me feel judged for asking many questions about the diagnosis and treatment. I felt comfortable moving forward with a Salpingectomy because she made me feel comfortable and confident about the surgery and outcome. After getting pregnant from my first cycle of IVF and later experiencing a Pprom, Dr. Hodes-Wertz provided treatment that my OB did not offer such as an Endometrial Biopsy. I am currently in my second IVF cycle with Dr. Hodes-Wertz and I have a very hopeful outlook on a successful pregnancy due to her care.
Don't be afraid to ask her any questions. She is very patient and kind. She will provide straightforward diagnosis, but she is very kind, professional and confident in all of her treatments.

Dr. Hodes-Wertz found that I had a blocked tube and suggested a Salpingectomy in order to avoid complications with getting pregnant. She performed the surgery and I recovered so quickly that I was able to be up and about the next day. She also suggested genetic and PGS testing, which I carried through with and gave me peace of mind when I got pregnant and also when I had a PProm because I could rule out genetic factors from being the cause.
The nursing staff is extraordinary at the NYU langone practice. They would always provide clear instructions about my medication and injections. I always received a return phone call, if I had questions. They were so kind during my morning monitoring. I have been spoiled by their treatment!
After your initial consultation with your Doctor, you may see multiple other Doctors in the practice during your follow up monitoring visits, egg retrieval and embryo transfers. I felt comfortable with this practice since the visits are generally very quick.
I was happy with the monitoring appointments as they were from 7am to 9am and easy and quick to get to before work.
Dr. Hodes-Wertz's approach to recommend both PGS and single embryo transfer made me feel safe and confident in my pregnancy.
Dr. Hodes has an excellent bed side manner because she replies promptly, listens fully to concerns and takes the time to explain her answers. She never seemed overly worried and was honest and transparent about things like the risk of engaging in exercise throughout the process. I don't think Dr. Hodes could have done anything better at all really. I recommend my friends to her. On the doctors, maybe what specifically made her bedside manner so good. How did she adjust the protocol from the first to the second treatment. Did she air on the side of conservatism or do you think she was pretty aggressive. Anything she could do differently that would make her better.
Utilize the west side clinic.
In my first cycle, I was on the cusp of having retrieval a day sooner or later. Dr. Hodes opted for later and thus 3 of the 20 eggs I got were "over baked"; however, 3 were still under baked. In the second cycle, I was ready for retrieval two days sooner than the first, so I got less hormones and a better result of freeing 18 eggs out of 23 retrieved. I am not sure if my body just produced better the second time, or Dr. Hodes used her learnings from the first time to make the second time more efficient.
The nurses as well are very nice and knowledgable. They are friendly, yet do there best to get you in and out as quickly as possible. They definitely have their process down to a T.
NYU is an egg freezing machine that kinda feels like a MedSpa.There, I did not always see my doctor for ultrasounds throughout the process, but whoever was on staff, and all of the doctors I had were very nice and talked me through what they were seeing on my ultrasound as well as how much longer they thought I had in the process...I liked the West Side location for blood and ultrasound much better because there was never any wait like there can be on the East and you can go right before 9am (not so early as the East side) and be out by 9:15am. I found it more efficient, faster and easier for me since I live on the West side.
Be prepared to work with her team more than her [Dr. Hodes-Wertz]...I came to Dr. Hodes-Wertz with PCOS. I was not ovulating and my parter had sub-optimal sperm. I was put on a dosage of Letrozole. The first dosage wasn't enough, but an increased dosage got me ovulating. We were able to use a washed sample of my partner's sperm to do IUI. The whole process was very quick and efficient - only 3.5 weeks from my first visit with Dr. Hodes until the IUI. The IUI was successful and I am now 7 weeks pregnant with twins!
I only saw Dr. Hodes-Wertz 3 times during my treatment, but found her to be very informative with good bedside manner. After our first meeting with her we felt very confident that she knew what she was doing and we were in good hands.
Be prepared to work with her team more than her.
I was seen in 2 different offices. The smaller west side office on W 52nd Street was wonderful. The team is small and very friendly. When I called or came in to the office they knew exactly who I was. I also had to go to the main NYU Fertility center on 1st Ave for blood work and ultrasounds. At the main facility I was just a number. They are incredibly efficient and move people through quickly, but it means that each time I saw different people and to them I was just a name on a piece of paper.

The NYU Fertility Center nursing staff is amazing. After each visit I received a follow up call within 24 hours with test results and instructions on next steps. They were all very warm, informative, and efficient over the phone. I talked to nurses more regularly than seeing them.
They are incredibly efficient and very good at communicating. Even though there are a lot of appointments (bloodwork, ultrasounds, etc.) they get you in and out quickly and you get your results in a very timely manner. You might feel like a number at times, but they are efficient and they successfully got me pregnant.
Dr. Hodes-Wertz accepted my insurance so I had minimal out of pocket costs. Most of my co-pays were for bloodwork and tests.
Dr. Hodes was by my side during the lowest point of my life, and I don't know how I would have gotten through that time without her. She was honest with the chances of success, but she never wavered in her commitment to my case. I was not an "easy" case and the odds for success were not in my favor, but I felt safe and cared for in Dr. Hodes' care. She always took the time to explain things to me and answer all of my questions.
I would caution prospective patients not to be turned off my the fact tha tDr. Hodes is not as I experienced as some of the other REs at NYU. It is true that she has not been practicing for decades, but what she lacks in experience, she makes up for in knowledge, compassion, and commitment to her patients. I never questioned that I was in extremely capable hands.
Dr. Hodes had to delivery very bad news to me, but she did so in the kindest, most professional manner. Despite the bad news and possibly poor prognosis, she came up with a treatment plan that accounted for my unique circumstances. Throughout the course of my treatment, Dr. Hodes continued to communicate with me throughout the course of my treatment. After our first IVF cycle failed, she took the time to speak with us about what happened and how we would adjust our plan for the next cycle. I felt like she truly cared about me as a person.
I did not really get to know any one nurse particularly well. NYU is a large practice so there are many nurses on staff. I communicated with many nurses, and I found just about all of them to be compassionate and knowledgeable.
NYU is a large clinic, and I know that many people feel like they're just a number. My attitude is the clinic is large for a reason - it's one of the best clinics in the area, perhaps the country. I typically visited the 52nd St location, which is much smaller, and I was able to get to know the staff there. When I visited the main location on 1st Ave, it was definitely busy, but it's run like a well-oiled machine.
Insurance covered almost everything for me (most of medication cost plus $25K lifetime max for treatment). I think a single IVF cycle runs about $12,500 (plus additional costs - e.g., ICSI, biopsy for PGS).
She's [Dr. Brooke Hodes-Wertz] the right doctor for me. She's just the right mix of facts and optimism. I didn't see her often, though, and sometimes I didn't know what the next step in the process was. (Though in her defense things didn't go according to plan)...We did 3 rounds of IUI with clomid that were unsuccessful. Then we moved on the IVF with Follistim, Cetrotide, Menapur, and Ovudrel. With our AMH and stats, we were expected to produce 0-1 embryos per cycle. We got 5, and 3 were normal post PGS. So we only had to do one round.

Be proactive. If you want to see her or talk to her, make the appointment. If you have questions, ask.
She's very straight forward. My situation wasn't great but she wasn't overly apologetic about it - she told me the facts and gave me a plan. It helped keep me hopeful and not focused on my bad stats.

I liked the nurses who did my monitoring. They were great. The nurses during and after egg retrieval were horrible.
Ugly, inconvenient offices. Billing is on top of things when they want your money but not so much when you have questions or need a refund. The monitoring works like clockwork.
Pretty efficient. No complaints except that all the monitoring is annoying.
Haven't done that yet. But we'll only do 1.
She [Dr. Hodes-Werz] is very knowledgeable, adjusted my treatments when one is not working, and honest with the results and prognosis. When I got results that I didn't want to see, she is compassionate, warm and has suggestions for the next round...The first IVF was antagonist protocol good for older women. She used minimum amount of medications...she is honest and compassionate. She returns calls or have her secretary call when busy.

Trust her clinical judgment and expertise.
She is honest and compassionate. She returns calls or have her secretary call when busy.
The first IVF was antagonist protocol good for older women. She used minimum amount of medications. The second IVF was also antagonist with increased medications to increase the amount of eggs. However, I had the same results. The third IVF was microdose lupron and had increased amount of eggs and embryos. I chose to do PGS, but sadly, all embryos were abnormal.
The clinic is very busy, but all the nurses handled their jobs well. All are very competent. A particular nurse, Imelda, is very kind, compassionate and caring.
The clinic can feel like a factory and you're just a number.
Monitoring is 7-9 am. I go early so I'm in and out in 20 minutes.
Everything was covered by my insurance except PGS.
She prefers eSET but I never reached transfer so it was never discussed in detail.
Give her [Dr. Hodes-Wertz] a chance. She is probably more junior than some of the other doctors within NYU but is very nurturing, honest and ultimately skilled in what she does. Dr Hodes was completely candid from the get go but very confident of a positive outcome. She did everything necessary to prepare me for transfer and adjusted the course if things weren't working, always communicating why and what she was trying to achieve. I felt like I was her only patient!

Every step of the way and even now that I am under the care of an OB, Dr Hodes and her nurse Natalie continue to support me. They are are excited as we are at the outcome of our procedure and we always available during treatments and treated us with great respect and honesty.
Natalie is warm, friendly, a great communicator and very supportive. She always took the time to stop by and say hi when she same I had checked in for blood draws which was completely unnecessary but showed how dedicated she is to her patients. All directions were clear and she helped with pharmacies when prescriptions were delayed. I couldn't have asked for a better nurse.
Come prepared to ask questions. Trust your doctor and the process.
The nursing staff in the west side office felt like family, you do see them very often. It was a much better experience than on 1st ave.
She [Dr. Brooke Hodes-Wertz] came recommended by friends and I would certainly recommend her - she's professional and treats patients accordingly. She was available when needed and her staff are great also. she explained things well in a very confusing field...She is very friendly and has a caring manner...Do some reading ahead of time and have a list of questions ready. You get overwhelmed once your in there...her nurses are excellent..

She [Dr Hodes-Wertz] was very sweet and caring. When I had a miscarriage, she called to find out how I was feeling. She was very responsive when I reached out to her and very excited with my positive pregnancy test....I have had a few occasions when they [the staff at NYU Fertility] said that they would call meds into a pharmacy and the pharmacy never got the voicemail....You do feel a bit like a number in a factory. However, I wonder if this may be true for every fertility clinic. When I wanted personal attention, I asked for it and got it.

Rodborough Common is of international importance for its flora and fauna. An SSSI, it is also designated a European Special Area of Conservation for its flora and fauna, in paricular its flowers, herbs and invertebrates. It is the most extensive area of semi-natural dry limestone grassland surviving in the Cotswolds.
It is well known for its variety of orchid species and its butterflies. Species of both are easily seen from the main paths that criss-cross the common. Those who walk the common during the summer months may see a number of species of orchid – Early Purple, Fragrant, Pyramidal, Common and Spotted. Bee, Musk and Frog Orchid are not so easy to find.
The rare Pasque-Flower grows on one of the south west facing slopes. Wild Thyme and Milkwort grow where the grass is thin or eroded. Other species include Common Rock Rose, Harebell, Field Scabious, Knapweed and Wild Marjoram. Juniper bushes cling to the slopes around the south western edge of the common.
A mesh of different grasses and herbs are home to a wonderful diversity of invertebrates. It is nationally recognised for its butterflies and draws Lepidopterists from all over the country. They may be looking for some its rarer species, such as The Duke of Burgundy and Adonis Blue. They are likely to find Green Hairstreak, Brown Argos, Dingy Skipper and Small Blue. The more casual walker or explorer will probably see Marbled White and Meadow Brown. They may see Common Blue and Chalk-hill Blue, without necessarily being able to differentiate between the two.
Although the common is classed as a limestone grassland, it has a number of different habitats, which whether welcome or not by those that manage it, nevertheless increases the number of invertebrate species to be found there. Some of the scrubbier slopes, where the grass is longer and dotted with saplings of oak and birch, are great places to look for grasshoppers and crickets. Grasshoppers include Rufous, Mottled, Common Meadow and Stripe winged. Cricket species include Great Green Bush, Dark Bush, Roesel's Bush, Long-winged Conehead and Short-winged Conehead.
Add in a huge variety of species of fly, beetle, bug and spider and you can appreciate why it is important.
Kestrels hover over the slopes, Skylark are here most summers, along with Meadow Pipit. The trees and scrub provide food, shelter and homes for Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay and Goldcrest.
All this and some of the greatest views – west over Doverow Hill to the Severn Vale to the Forest of Dean and beyond, the welsh mountains, east along the Golden Valley towards Brimscombe. The view to the north takes in the town of Stroud and the Slad and Painswick Valleys.

I would suggest viewing these nominations more as a guide to conventional wisdom than anything else.

3 Top Gold Mining Stocks to Buy in 2019
This large-cap gold mining company and two underrated gold stocks could steal the show in 2019.

Gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset back in the limelight, thanks to the volatility across global markets, triggered largely by trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Evidence lies in gold prices, which have gained steady ground in the past couple of months or so after a painful start to the year.
The environment bodes well for gold mining companies that have intently focused on boosting productivity and cost efficiency in recent times. While it's difficult to predict where gold prices are headed, turbulence in the stock market and widespread fears of an economic slowdown in 2019 make it an opportune time for investors to consider adding gold stocks to their portfolio. Barrick Gold (NYSE:GOLD), Kirkland Lake Gold (NYSE:KL), and SSR Mining (NASDAQ:SSRM) are three top gold mining stocks you might want to consider for 2019. Here's why.
Barrick Gold: A bigger gold miner in the making
2018 would've gone down as yet another painful year for Barrick Gold shares if not for its recent move to acquire Randgold Resources (NASDAQ:GOLD).
During the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2018, Barrick's revenue declined 13% and adjusted net income slumped nearly 45%, year over year. All-in-sustaining cost -- or AISC, a comprehensive cost measure used in the gold industry -- rose to $813 per ounce of gold from $750 an ounce in the year-ago period.
Barrick's full-year production guidance downgrade earlier in the year didn't sit well with the market, either: It expects to produce 4.5 million-5 million ounces versus 5.32 million ounces in 2017. Though the fall is largely because of a stake sale in its Veladero mine, the market still sent Barrick shares crashing to 52-week lows in September before backing up the truck again on a surprisingly big news.
2019 should be an interesting year for investors in gold mining stocks. Image source: Getty Images.
Barrick is acquiring Randgold Resources to create the world's largest publicly listed gold mining company. By Barrick's own estimates, the new company, expected to trade under ticker GOLD, will own five of the world's top 10 tier 1 gold mines (tier 1 mining assets are typically large, low-cost mines with a long life-span) and will be the largest gold producer, based on Barrick's and Randgold's combined 2017 gold production of roughly 6.5 million ounces.
Randgold's acquisition, therefore, is undeniably a big move that, if handled deftly, could be a game changer for Barrick. 2019 will be a crucial year, and some of the things that investors can expect to see are:
Asset sales and cost reduction: Randgold's CEO Mark Bristow, who will take over as the CEO of the combined company, is looking to sell noncore assets and cut costs.
Stronger balance sheet: Barrick should continue paring down debt. As of Sept. 30, nearly 85% of its long-term debt wasn't due for maturity before 2032. Randgold carries no long-term debt.
Higher dividends: Barrick's annual dividend of $0.16 per share for 2018 represents a 33% jump from 2017. Management aims to grow dividends further as cash flow rises.
Progress in Tanzania: Bristow is keen to fix the long-pending tax disputes that have stalled operations at Tanzania-based Acacia Mining, in which Barrick owns 64% stake.
In short, Barrick is in a transformational phase, one that makes the stock an interesting buy at this juncture.
Kirkland Lake: An underrated gold stock
One of the lesser-known gold mining companies with four producing mines in Canada and Australia, Kirkland Gold is growing at an astounding pace.
Data source: Kirkland Lake Gold. Chart by author.
After ending fiscal 2017 with record gold production of 596,405 ounces, thanks to a 74% jump in production from its Fosterville mine in Australia and higher production from all mines, Kirkland has even bigger plans for 2019 and beyond.
Kirkland is targeting 10% to 15% annual growth in production over the next three years and hopes to hit 1 million ounces by 2021, with half of it coming from Fosterville. Its AISC, meanwhile, is expected to drop from $930 per ounce of gold sold in 2016 to $735-$760 an ounce in FY 2018 and only $630-$680 per ounce in FY 2019.
Rising production and declining costs make for a formidable combination for any mining company.
KL Net Income (TTM) data by YCharts.
Also, I expect Kirkland's capital expenditures to peak in 2019 and taper from there as it wraps up major expansion programs. That should mean greater free cash flows, part of which will likely go to shareholders in the form of higher dividends. Kirkland has already increased its dividends twice since it started paying out a quarterly dividend from mid-2017. Overall, Kirkland appears to be on solid footing, which is why I expect the stock to continue commanding a premium over mid-tier mining peers in the near term.
SSR Mining: A small gold miner with huge potential
SSR Mining stock finally seems to be breaking out after trading within a narrow range for nearly two and a half years. There are solid reasons why the market is getting increasingly bullish about the Canada-based mining company with three operating mines, one each in Nevada, Saskatchewan, and Argentina: its future plans.
In recent years, SSR Mining's gold equivalent production has decelerated but is on the verge of a turnaround, with the miner projecting its gold equivalent production to grow 41% by 2021 thanks primarily to its flagship mine, Marigold in Nevada.
SSRM Free Cash Flow (TTM) data by YCharts.
In June 2018, SSR Mining updated the life-span of Marigold mine through 2027 and projected production to jump 30% from 2017 to 265,000 ounces in 2021 and 2022 each. Meanwhile, production from the company's Seabee mine in Canada has risen steadily since 2014, creating a fresh record with each passing year (note that SSR Mining acquired this mine in 2016). By 2020, production from Seabee is expected to jump nearly 40% and cash cost to dip nearly 26% to $442 per ounce of gold. SSR Mining's Chinchillas project in Argentina also has strong silver production visibility.
In short, it's a story similar to Kirkland's: that of rising production and declining costs. It also helps that SSR Mining has a pretty strong balance sheet, holding nearly twice the amount of long-term debt in cash and equivalents as of the last quarter as the chart above shows, and also generating positive free cash flows. SSR Mining has all the ingredients in place to take the next growth leap, making it a compelling gold stock to own right now.
