Its all about Omicron and rate calls, yesterday the Fed didnt move nor did the ECB today but the Bank of England did hike today by a quarter of a point. The market is also better as the EIA inventory stats were very positive, crude drew by 4.58m b's, gasoline fell by 719/- and distillates followed down 2.85m. In total products overall drew some 16m barrels and distillers were working hard to make 23.2m b's, the highest ever.
Wentworth Resources
Wentworth has provided an operational update for the Mnazi Bay gas field and on other corporate initiatives. Following a successful first half of the year, demand for natural gas in Tanzania has again remained strong throughout the second half. This strengthening in demand in 2021 is due to sustained economic growth, continued demand in the industrial sector and partly due to lack of supply from hydro-electric generation as a result of poor rainfall over the catchment areas of the hydro dams.
The Company, through its partnership in the Mnazi Bay Joint Venture, continues to provide a reliable source of natural gas for domestic electricity generation, thereby supporting Tanzania to secure energy that is critical for its ongoing development and growth.
The average gross daily production rate from the Mnazi Bay gas field in December 2021 to date has been approximately 102 MMscf/day and, as a result of the stronger overall demand during 2021, the Company expects to achieve a milestone average production rate for the calendar year of over 80 MMscf/day – exceeding the high-end of the already upwardly-revised guidance from June 2021.
· The health and safety of employees remains paramount and robust precautionary measures have been and continue to be implemented to mitigate against the risk of COVID-19 both in the field and in the Dar es Salaam office. There has been no operational disruption due to COVID-19 to date
· The Company expects to achieve an annual average production rate for 2021 of more than 80 MMcf/day, above the high-end of revised guidance for the year and significantly above the average rate in 2020
o Updated guidance as of June 2021 was 70 – 80 MMcf/day (gross), raised from 65 – 75 MMcf/day (gross)
o 2021 average daily production is approximately 23% higher than the average daily production rate in 2020, which was 65 MMcf/day
· Operational costs of production remain low due to continued focus on cost efficiencies and high degree of operational leverage at Mnazi Bay
· The Mnazi Bay JV Partners have delivered on the 2021 work programme, which was focused on ensuring reliability and sustainability of supply. Highlights include:
o Slickline operations on the MB-4, MB-2 and MS-1X wells
o Refurbishment of the MB-1 well site superstructure, which was completed significantly under budget
o Pre-Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) Study on installing a compressor station to the Gas Production Facility at Mnazi Bay
· Subject to regulatory approval of the 2022 budget, the JV partners expect to continue with standard slickline operations to optimise the capacity of the Mnazi Bay field and to progress the compression project which is due for completion in 2023, as well as further evaluating opportunities to deliver additional gas supplies
· The Company intends to explore and evaluate growth opportunities both within the Mnazi Bay licence and the greater geographical region to support increasing in-country demand for natural gas
Strong and growing demand outlook, TANESCO announced in November that natural gas will be used to address a 345MW shortage gap of power to the National Grid to compensate for the lack of capacity from its hydro-electric power stations due to low water levels in the dams and rivers of the catchment areas
· As part of the plan, TANESCO intends to increase production by fast-tracking maintenance of its natural gas-plants at Ubungo and expediting the completion of the Kinyerezi I Extension Generation Facility
· Record financial results announced in September 2021, placing the Company in the strongest financial position in its history, with record revenue, EBITDAX, and cash on hand
· Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation continues to remain fully current with all invoices for gas sales; Tanzania Electric Supply Company has repaid in full its outstanding arrears and is now fully up to date with due invoices
· Strengthening financial position with $24 million cash in hand at 30 November 2021 2021, after payment of both $2.6 million final dividend for 2020 in July 2021 and $1.32 million interim dividend in October, an increase from $22.5 million cash as at 30 June 2021
· Strength of financial performance enabled an increased interim dividend to be declared of of GBP 0.52 pence per share, 10% higher than the 2020 Interim distribution of $1.2 million
· Wentworth expects a 2021 final dividend of US$2.64 million in line with the company's policy of a 1/3 : 2/3 split between the interim and the final dividend – which would bring total capital returns for FY2021 to US$3.96 million
· Planned Board succession and refresh continued throughout the year with the appointment of Tim Bushell as Non-executive Chairman and Juliet Kairuki as independent Non-Executive Director
· As part of the ongoing process of Board refreshment, John Bentley will be stepping down at the end of this year, to be replaced by an additional independent Non-Executive Director, with the Company in advanced stages of this search
· Existing management team strengthened with the appointment of Aaron LeBlanc as Chief Operating Officer, bringing extensive technical and managerial experience as well as a strong track record in Tanzania
· Growth within Tanzania continues to be a key focus to capitalise on in-country track record, proven improving demand dynamics and operational performance
Sustainability priorities
· Stakeholder engagement is key to Wentworth's sustainability strategy; strong relationships with in-country partners including the Government of Tanzania and local communities are evidenced by ongoing demand growth, operational performance and payment of receivables
· To further formalise its strategic focus on climate action and its broader ESG priorities, Wentworth formed a Board Sustainability Committee in September of this year with Juliet Kairuki appointed as Chair, providing greater oversight of the business' ESG risks and opportunities
· Maintaining its robust ESG framework remains a priority following the launch of the inaugural Sustainability Report this year. The publication of the 2021 report is expected in April 2022
· Measurement and mitigation of climate-related impacts is a critical component of Wentworth's climate strategy. In November, a new agreement between Wentworth and Vitol SA was established to jointly develop new community-focused carbon credit programmes in Tanzania aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
o Immediate objective is for Wentworth to offset all scope 1 and 2 emissions and partially offset scope 3 emissions by 2022
o Wentworth's emissions footprint remains one of the lowest in the UK-listed E&P sector on a scope 1 and 2 basis with an emissions intensity in 2020 of 0.42kg/CO2 boe (1,676.9t CO2 e)Wentworth's priority is to take continuous action to reduce emissions as swiftly as possible with further progress made in 2021 on reduction initiatives to be outlined in the 2021 Sustainability Report.
Katherine Roe, CEO, commented:
"As we reach the end of 2021, at Wentworth we have been delighted to reflect on our many successes of the year. Our most recent being our expectation to beat our revised guidance and to achieve a milestone average production rate for 2021 of over 80 MMscf/day.
The demand dynamics in Tanzania are becoming increasingly compelling with an ambitious economic growth plan set to accelerate energy demand further over the coming years. And whilst driving up energy access through our natural gas production has a transformational role to play on the socio-economic outcomes for our communities in Tanzania, we have also used this year to ensure we are playing a responsible role in mitigating and minimising our impacts as much as we can and as quickly as we can. Our carbon offset partnership with Vitol is evidence of this and we are excited about taking this journey with them for the benefit of our communities in country.
We thank John Bentley for his invaluable contribution and many years of being part of our Wentworth team. He has been an integral part of the Board during his tenure and he will be missed on both a professional and personal level.
Looking ahead to year end, we remain in the strongest position in our corporate history, with half the Company's market capitalisation backed by cash. Our robust fundamentals have ensured that we remain financially and operationally resilient allowing us to increase our returns to shareholders year on year. We remain committed to our sustainable and progressive dividend policy and look forward to reporting back on full year performance in 2022."
This is an outstanding operational update by any measure, it ticks all the boxes that I or any investor could possibly ask for. Thus, demand is strong with sustainable economic growth, as well as in the industrial sector and the call for gas for domestic power generation set against a reduced output from local hydro-electric power supply.
In that context Mnazi Bay produced 102 MMscf/d in December giving average calendar production of over 80 MMscf/d already up on previously upped guidance and which is a 23% increase on 2020. Finances are incredibly strong, TPDC is up-to-date with payments and TANESCO has also fully paid its invoices so no receivables either. The balance sheet is thus incredibly strong with the outlook as positive as could be imagined and with excellent fcf is 'placing the Company in the strongest financial position in its history', with record revenue, EBITDAX, and cash on hand.
I could go on, this strength has given the board the scope to be generous with the dividend if appropriate, other distributions or even acquisitions are possible but the board has recently demonstrated its desire to stick to its knitting at which it is exemplary. Finally it also ticks the ESG box, its emissions footprint 'remains one of the lowest in the UK-listed E&P sector on a scope 1 and 2 basis with an emissions intensity in 2020 of 0.42kg/CO2 boe (1,676.9t CO2 e)'.
Wentworth must be one of the best value plays in the market, its cash of $24m post divvi payments looks incredibly strong against a market cap of £40m and the outlook is incredibly positive, investors should take another look at Wentworth set against any value metrics, a doubling of the share price would not make them look expensive, a jewel in the sector indeed.
PetroTal Corp
PetroTal provides Operational Update; Oil production reaches 20,000 bopd and a pipeline Settlement Framework for Pump Station 5.
PetroTal has achieved a trailing 5-day unconstrained production rate ending December 15, 2021, of approximately 20,200 barrels of oil per day. With wells 8H and 9H producing over 6,300 bopd and 8,200 bopd respectively, PetroTal was able to achieve its long-standing goal of exceeding 20,000 bopd much earlier than anticipated and previously guided. PetroTal has reached this milestone only four years after commencing operations at the Bretana oil field in early 2018, an indication of operational excellence, perseverance and teamwork.
Robust Production from Well 9H shows that well 9H is delivering a strong initial production profile having averaged approximately 8,200 bopd over the last 10 days, and trending very close to the performance of well 8H. In addition, well 10H Commences Drilling as PetroTal commenced drilling well 10H on December 11, 2021. This long-reach horizontal well is similarly located to well 9H and is estimated to cost $13.9 million with a targeted completion date in early February 2022.
PTAL also announced a settlement Framework Reached at Pump Station 5 whereby it advises that a joint framework was reached between the communities, Ministry of Energy and Mines, and Petroperu, that demonstrates trust and a commitment to ongoing dialogue, which has resulted in the expected return of Pump Station 5 back to Petroperu on December 16, 2021, as a gesture of goodwill toward longer term solutions.
Once Petroperu restarts operations at Pump Station 5, it will take approximately one week to complete the required inspections needed to fully recommence oil throughput in the Northern Peruvian Pipeline. Based on this forecast, it is still likely PetroTal will have to constrain production after December 16, 2021, for up to two weeks, to manage storage capacity, at which time it expects to go back to levels near 20,000 bopd.
In November and December, PetroTal will export nearly 320,000 barrels of oil through the Brazil sales route. Commencing in January 2022, estimated Brazilian oil exports will be approximately 240,000 barrels monthly and expected to increase further in Q2 2022.
Manuel Pablo Zuniga-Pflucker, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented
"We are very pleased at the progress made at Pump Station 5 and the demonstration of trust and goodwill shown by the communities. This, together with the initiatives PetroTal is pursuing, is expected to lead to long term stability for the region at a critical time for the new Talara refinery that is expected to start operation in 2022, Peruvian producers, the local communities, and Petroperu. I would also like to thank our team for their dedication and perseverance over the past four years enabling PetroTal to achieve our original 20,000 bopd goal. I am humbled by the expertise and drive our team continues to demonstrate through unprecedented operating conditions. Additionally, I'd like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support, patience and confidence as we continue development of the prolific Bretana oil field."
PetroTal end the year on a very strong note with production smashing the target with more to come and also having a settlement at Pump Station 5 which assists stability in the area at a time when there is plenty of upside. My 60p target is very much achievable given the gearing effect of crude going through the PetroTal system, 2022 looks like a good time to be a shareholder of PetroTal.
Union Jack Oil/Egdon Resources
Union Jack notes that the Operator ("Egdon Resources plc") of several projects in which the Company holds material interests has today updated the market on their progress.
· The Wressle-1 well continues to comfortably exceed initial expectations of 500 barrels of oil per day (gross) since the successful completion of the proppant squeeze and subsequent coiled tubing operations on 19 August 2021
· Works completed to upgrade the gas incineration system
· Production site upgrades ongoing
· Well flowing under a highly restricted choke of 20/64 of an inch
· Well has produced high quality oil at a constrained rate during ongoing upgrades at an average rate of 666 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") following the upgrade of the gas incineration system (266 barrels net to Union Jack) plus 368,000 cubic feet of gas (147,200 cubic feet net to Union Jack) over the past seven days, equating to a gross 727 barrels of oil equivalent per day
· Zero formation water produced to date
· Secondary separator system has been designed and manufactured and is expected to be installed before the year end to optimise gas/oil separation
· Early 2022 will see completion of testing of the full potential of the well
· Decisions will be made in Q1 2022 on the plateau production rate, to match with longer-term operational objectives and prudent reservoir management
· Downhole pressure data has been acquired and is currently being interpreted to further inform these decisions
· Focus during 2022 will move to progressing the optimal method of gas monetisation and finalising plans for the development of other hydrocarbon bearing zones to access the identified material contingent resources, with particular focus on the Penistone Flags reservoir
Keddington PEDL005(R) (Union Jack 55% interest)
· An independent detailed sub-surface review of the Keddington oil field and the surrounding licence area has highlighted an opportunity to increase production via a new development side-track well for which planning is already in place
· Reservoir engineering work has been completed by ERCE confirming a target area in the south-east of the licence area which would add up to 85,000 to 120,000 barrels of recoverable oil which could be produced and monetised using the existing production equipment already in place and being utilised on site
· Well specific modelling and detailed planning will be completed in the coming period with a view to being in a position to drill the side-track well during 2022
· Additional near-field exploration opportunities have been identified at Keddington South, (gross Mean Prospective Resources of circa 635,000 barrels of oil (350,000 barrels net to Union Jack) and the Louth Prospect (gross Mean Prospective Resources of circa 600,000 barrels of oil (circa 330,000 barrels net to Union Jack) which could be accessed from the existing well site in due course
Biscathorpe PEDL253 (Union Jack 45% interest)
· On 1 November 2021, the planning application for a side-track drilling operation, associated testing and long-term oil production at the Biscathorpe site, was refused by Lincolnshire County Council ("LLC"), despite being recommended for approval by the Council`s planning officers
· The formal decision notice was issued on 6 December 2021 and the Operator is currently reviewing in detail the reasons for refusal with their planning and legal advisers and considering other options which is likely to lead to an appeal
North Kelsey PEDL241 (Union Jack 50% interest)
· Planning applications were submitted to LLC in early December 2021, to extend the existing planning consents by 12 months and amend the bottom hole target location for the planned North Kelsey well
· The applications have now been validated and the consultation period has begun
· Subject to receipt of planning consent the North Kelsey well could be drilled later in 2022
· As of 16 December 2021, cash balance of £6,068,000
· As of 16 December 2021, revenue and investment receivables are an additional circa £600,000 (principally oil production and North Sea royalty)
· Projected revenues to 31 December 2021, expected to be in-excess of £1,760,000 (2020 audited, £241,467)
· Net asset value as at 16 December 2021 is £20,281,000
· Debt free
Executive Chairman of Union Jack, David Bramhill, commented:
"This timely operational and financial update provides tangible confirmation of the progress being made by Union Jack.
"Wressle is still in the infancy of its development and despite restricted flow and continuing site upgrades, net revenues to Union Jack have been material since mid-August 2021. We announced on 27 October 2021, that Wressle had generated US$1,000,000 of net revenues to the Company and we look forward to announcing the next net revenue milestone early in 2022.
"When the planned site upgrades are complete, we await, with anticipation, the scale of the net revenues available from Wressle in respect of a full year of production as we believe these contributions will be transformational for Union Jack. Keddington and Fiskerton oil fields also provide additional revenue which support our projected year end 2021, net revenues.
"This operational and financial update provides information on the assets where Union Jack is in Joint Venture with Egdon Resources plc. It is prudent to mention our 16.665% investment in West Newton, of which drilling results and a series of extended well tests have confirmed the presence of substantial onshore hydrocarbon resources, within the Kirkham Abbey formation of the West Newton A-1,A-2 and B1z wells. As previously announced, a number of external studies are currently in process, encompassing a wide range of reservoir analysis in order to offer direction on how to achieve satisfactory and commercial flow rates from these wells. Preliminary reports are encouraging and we would expect to be in a position to offer a comprehensive update to the market in early 2022, on this material project that represents significant value potential in our portfolio, once the first phase of this work has been finalised.
"With the planned activity across our material projects, we believe that there will be a steady stream of RNS announcements, updates, research publications and reports published throughout 2022.
"Union Jack is in a sound position both operationally and financially and we look forward to the future with enthusiasm."
Union Jack has had by pretty much any standards a very good year operationally which is by no means reflected in the share price which has underperformed significantly. You only have to look at the numbers in the update above to see that as owner of a substantial portfolio of onshore UK assets some of which are throwing off meaningful cash in particular Wressle which has exceeded all expectations. As and when it can shake off this malaise I expect the share price to rise dramatically which would be only what they deserve.
Petrofac
Petrofac issues the following pre-close trading update for the year ending 31 December 2021.
Continued strong performance in EPS but Covid-19 disruption continues to impact E&C project schedules and costs
Group net profit broadly in line with market expectations for 2021, supported by tax provision releases of US$17 million in H1 and approximately US$35 million in H2
New order intake (1) of US$2.0 billion in the year to date (increased from US$0.5 billion at half year) with EPS on track to deliver a book-to-bill of 1.0x for the full year
Comprehensive refinancing completed following resolution of SFO investigation
Year-end net debt (2) expected to be broadly flat versus Q3, at approximately US$0.2 billion
On track to deliver cost saving target of c.US$250 million by year-end (3)
Well positioned with a Group pipeline of US$40 billion for award in 2022, of which $7 billion is in New Energies
Sami Iskander, Petrofac's Group Chief Executive, commented:
"In 2021 Petrofac has taken an important step forward, closing out the SFO investigation and embedding a strategy focused on future growth. During this period we have continued to deliver projects and operations safely for our clients worldwide, despite the ongoing challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic which continue to impact our current E&C portfolio.
"Earlier this year I set out a plan to rebalance, reshape and rebuild Petrofac. The recent refinancing has provided a long-term, stable capital structure for the business and largely completes the work to rebalance the Group. Operationally, we are making good progress in reshaping the organisation to consistently deliver to best-in-class global standards through local execution. Our priority is to now rebuild our order backlog. We secured US$1.5 billion of new awards in the second half to date and the outlook for awards is improving in a more supportive macro environment. Petrofac's cost competitive model and strong client relationships mean that we are well positioned with a healthy pipeline of opportunities scheduled for award in 2022.
"While challenges will persist in 2022, I remain confident about the prospects for Petrofac over the medium-term as we capitalise on our strong positions in attractive and growing markets and accelerate our progress in New Energies, where we see significant near and long-term growth in exciting areas such as offshore wind, carbon capture, waste to value and hydrogen."
I listened to the Petrofac conference call this morning and I was pleased but not surprised to hear the management to be very upbeat. Since the SFO investigation ended and the new management moved in there is much upside, not just in areas where they have been effectively banned but as the effects of $75 oil and a boom in the Middle East should feed through to the order book. The shares are exceptional value at 110p and if allowed I would be tucking in.
Hunting has today issued a year-end trading update. The Group will be reporting its 2021 Full Year Results on Thursday 3 March 2022. Trading during the final quarter of 2021 has remained in line with management's expectations, with a broadly break-even EBITDA result anticipated for the full-year.
US onshore activity continues to strengthen, benefiting the Hunting Titan operating segment whose results remain ahead of expectations. Within the North America operating segment, the US Manufacturing, Subsea and Trenchless businesses have reported improving revenues which has led to a higher absorption of fixed costs and stable operating profits during the quarter. The EMEA operating segment continues to report subdued trading, however, cost management measures implemented earlier in the year are now significantly narrowing trading losses. In Asia Pacific, the segment has also seen an improvement in sales leading to a broadly break-even result being reported in November.
The Group's order book has strengthened by c.20% in the three months to 30 November 2021 with a significant uptick reported in North America and Europe. The order book will increase further in December following strong contract wins by Hunting's Subsea business, coupled with a general increase in successful bidding within the Group's US and Asia Pacific businesses.
Overall, management believe that the Group has seen a notable improvement in its trading performance during the quarter, supported by the current pricing of oil and natural gas, which is anticipated to continue to the year-end and into 2022. Trading momentum is further supported by the ongoing drive to secure non-oil and gas sales.
The Group's balance sheet remains strong, with a cash and bank position of $77.2 million as at 3 December 2021. Capital expenditure outflows remain low and management continues to closely manage working capital as market conditions stabilise. Further, the Group is now likely to conclude the arrangements for its new Asset Based Lending facility in the coming weeks, as due diligence is completed by the lending group.
Following further due diligence, the Board has also decided to postpone its plans to launch a level two American Depositary Receipt programme, however, this decision may be revisited at a later date.
Jim Johnson, Chief Executive of Hunting, commented:
"While the speed of the oilfield services recovery during the year has been hindered by COVID-19, strong capital controls by our end user clients and geopolitical volatility, the Group exits 2021 with a more stable trading outlook, supported by the strong pricing of oil and gas, coupled with management's ongoing actions to address Hunting's cost base.
"We expect 2022 to show further improvements to revenue and profitability with our technology, service offering and quality assured products being in demand by clients, as new projects commence and activity levels improve."
Seeing Hunting produce such a positive statement and particularly the way it is weighted towards the end of the year is very exciting indeed. And that's not just from a Hunting geek either. Firstly this is a genuinely good quarter and many good things are coming together, from a strong market due to $75 oil, made better by the company's continuing attack on costs which must see very attractive margin growth.
Secondly, those of us followers who have over the years christened Hunting as a company that goes home for Christmas after Thanksgiving are now pleasantly surprised at how good things are getting and might well be even better for next year. As they say over there, I would bet a dollar to a wet doughnut that these shares will at least double in the next few months, and they will work up to Christmas Eve this year.
Jim Johnson has a really good team together in the Woodlands and I will be asking Santa to get them to do an analysts visit next year and to include me, my recent visit to Houston made me think the oil sector is buzzing, it certainly is…
Jadestone Energy
Jadestone Energy provide the following update on operations and Company guidance for 2021.
Achieved the target of delivering around 20,000 boe/d of production by year-end 2021, driven by strong performance from the Montara H6 well and initial flows from Skua-11 post workover.
2021 average annual production expected to be around the midpoint of the 11,500-13,500 boe/d guidance range.
2021 unit production cost guidance is unchanged at US$25.50-29.50/boe, with unit opex at year-end expected to be significantly below the lower end of this range due to the recent increase in production.
2021 major spending is now expected to be toward the upper end of the previous guidance range of US$105-115 million, as a result of additional work undertaken to successfully complete the Montara activity programme.
During the fourth quarter of 2021 to date, Company production has averaged approximately 17,800 boe/d.
This has been largely driven by strong performance from Montara, reflecting ongoing steady production from the Montara H6 infill well and, more recently, the addition of Skua-11 following its successful workover, which included reperforating the heel of the well with the aim of enhancing its production potential.
Production from Montara has been impacted by some rig-related downtime at the field associated with the activity programme. The Skua-11 workover also took longer than anticipated due to the need to replace the subsea tree, while a downhole component failed to function at the later stages of the Skua-10 activity. However, the Skua-10 workover operation is now practically complete, with the Montara subsea wells currently shut in to facilitate the rigging down and hook-up of the Skua-10 well and safe departure of the rig. Prior to this shutdown, group production averaged 20,000 boe/d over a five day period and is expected to increase further once both of the Skua wells are brought back onstream.
Paul Blakeley, President and CEO commented:
"We are very pleased to be concluding the Montara activity programme with no safety incidents to date, and, with the addition of Skua-11 production, we have already met our target of delivering 20,000 boe/d production by year-end 2021. We now expect to reap the benefits of higher production and attractive pricing, given ongoing oil price strength, our unhedged position and recent improvements in the Tapis differential."
I'm very happy with the performance at Jadestone, it is based on top quality management doing what they do, deliver the goods and despite the adversity of Covid and various corporate shenanigans have stuck to their plans and the share price is a testament to that.
The only piece of bad news is that due to the management being holed up in Australia and Singapore they havent been seen, I'm looking forward to their next presentation over here.
Orcadian
Orcadian Energy has announce its audited results for the twelve months ended 30 June 2021.
Primary activity was preparing for the Company's admission to trading on AIM.
Following the end of the period under review:
Orcadian admitted to AIM in July 2021 raising gross proceeds of £3 million
Receipt of Letter of no objection from the Oil and Gas Authority ("OGA") and entry into the authorisation phase of development planning for the Pilot Field
Received three expressions of interest for the provision of an FPSO for the Pilot Development
Entered into a non-binding Heads of Terms with Carrick Resources Limited ("Carrick") in respect of a sub-area of Licence P2320 which covers the Carra prospect ("Carra")
Cash position as at 15th December 2021 of over £1.5 million
Selected by the OGA to evaluate an approach to the electrification of North Sea oil and gas platforms which will dramatically cut carbon emissions.
Steve Brown, Orcadian's CEO, said:
"The last financial year has been transformational for the Company.
"Whilst these results record our position at the end of June 2021, the rest of this year has seen the Company make significant progress in delivering its strategy.
"We were admitted to trading on AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange. On Admission we raised gross proceeds of £3m and since then we have finalised the Concept Select process and moved to the 'authorisation phase' for our flagship Pilot development, whilst earlier this month we surpassed twenty-six other companies, or consortia, to win funding of £466,667 in the OGA Electrification Competition.
"The publishing of results is often a time for reflection, but from our perspective time spent resting on laurels is time wasted. Our focus for 2022 will be to seek to secure the financing for the Pilot project and to secure a customer for the platform electrification solution we will design in the coming months.
"We are determined to show the industry and the world that it is possible to produce the oil and gas, that regular customers need, in a cost effective way and with much, much lower emissions. We will do this on Pilot and we believe our electrification system will offer an opportunity for other operators on the UKCS to reduce emissions as rapidly as possible.
"North Sea businesses can show the world how to produce oil and gas with much lower emissions, helping to drive out high cost and high emissions production elsewhere in the world. We are proud of the role we are playing in this.
"We look forward to 2022 with optimism and energy and look forward to a sea change in attitudes to responsible oil and gas development projects and to the market continuing to recognise the significant value in our projects."
Steve Brown is right and it is the work that has been completed since the results date that makes Orcadian such a compelling investment. This is a stock for the future, a lower emissions play that will make their projects world class. Another with a really top quality management team with high technical ability in their specialist area.
Last night in the Prem the Seagulls lost 0-1 to Wolves, the Eagles drew 2-2 with the Saints and the Gooners beat the Hammers 2-0. Tonight its Chelski hosting the Toffees and the Magpies visit fortress Anfield.
In the cricket Australia won the toss and batting were 221-2 at the close.

Hello! And welcome to The Cordial Churchman studio. Wish you all were here in person and could take a tour of where we make our bowties. Instead, we thought we would share a virtual tour today.
We create, sew, and ship all our bowties and accessories from a workspace in downtown Rock Hill, SC. We are about 20 minutes south of Charlotte, NC.
We are housed with other artists in a community art center that once was a federal courthouse. Being centrally located downtown, some of our employees walk or ride their bicycle to work on a regular basis.
Seven of us work out of the studio at different times. Over the next several weeks we are going to introduce them to you. If you were to come into the shop on an average day, you would see us reviewing orders, cutting fabric, sewing, packaging, and drinking coffee. Coffee is essential in the making of the bow ties.
On special days, we have magazines and newspapers coming in for interviews and photographs. We are also fortunate to have some of our clients come to our space to purchase bow ties. The local cable and internet company, Comporium, just instituted "Bow Tie Thursday" and we enjoyed helping some of the men select a tie. Last week one of our loyal clients traveled hours out of his way to come and pick out some new bow ties while traveling from Washington DC!
Thought I would include a photograph of a busy few days. Since I not only write blog posts but help trace, sew, and ship bowties, I better get back to work! Thank you for coming on our tour, and we look forward to sharing more behind the scenes over the next two months.
If you're going to be in a huge box of a building bathed in florescent lights for a week, you might as well bring some bow ties, meet some awesome people, and renew friendships with Cordial Churchman enthusiasts.
That's exactly what I did at the TD Exposition Center in Greenville, SC for the 41st General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America.
It's actually hard to believe how fast the days and the week flew by. It was soul food to be with such good folks. As usually happens when we show up at an event like this, I got to teach a bunch of folks how to tie bow ties, I got to sell a good 8-10 people their first bow tie ever, and I got to meet people who have been buying our bow ties exclusively since we first started back in 2009.
In fact, it was my very first Presbyterian pastor who introduced me to bow ties back in Ohio. When we moved to Columbia, SC, he sent us to First Presbyterian Church, where I probably saw 50 gents rocking bow ties upon our first visit. It was great to get to see him again at this event, and to put a new bow tie into his wardrobe.
Being as The Cordial Churchman does perhaps 90% of its business online, we work hard to add the personal touch to our customers with handwritten notes and handcrafted custom bow ties. And yet, there's nothing quite like meeting the people who appreciate the work we do.
I enjoyed the face-to-face cultivation of these friendships with our dapper Presbyterian customers so much that we've been kicking around a new idea. We're considering coming to see some of you. What if The Cordial Churchman came to the 3 cities where we have the most customers and we all had ourselves a get-together? We could get a jazz band, some champagne, and get all gussied up. We could have a Cordial Churchman pop-up shop and perhaps an official bow tie for the event.
It could be a blast.
Chew on it. Let us know what you think. We'll let the idea percolate for a bit, and then make a proposal or two.
On a sad note, I met a pastor at this event named John Appleton, from near Charleston, WV. We talked about his congregation. We talked about how he was involved in starting a farmers' market in his town to bring the community together. We talked about getting together when our family did our usual drive through his neck of the woods on our regular trips to Ohio. And after pondering it for a day, John selected his first ever bow tie.
I got a call from another pastor friend just a few days later telling me that a pastor-firefighter had been killed at a fire. My friend attended the funeral, and saw that the gentleman was being interred wearing a bow tie. He asked the widow about it, and she said that her husband had come home from the General Assembly with his first ever bow tie, and was really excited about it. So she decided to have him wear it one last time. Her husband was my new friend John Appleton.
You know, here's the thing: What made this event so special was not bow ties or Presbyterians. Bow ties and Presbyterians were just the occasion. What made this event so special was the people. The friends. Young high school gents who were trying to figure out how to make their lives count. Old men who've been wearing bow ties and preaching for twice as long as I've been alive. Ladies who wanted to treat their husbands to a piece of fine neckwear. Fellow church planters who know exactly what it's like to be me. People serving in the military all over the world. Pastors serving in France, Japan, Germany, and everywhere else.
As C.S. Lewis once said, you and I have never met a mere mortal. The people we come into contact with may very soon be departing this life and on to the next. This was the case for my new friend John Appleton. I'm saying a prayer for his wife, his family, and his church tonight. And I'm going to remember that it's all about people.
Thank you for the privilege of serving you, and of getting to know you.
I was hugely pregnant and chasing around my two young boys. A lady looked at me in all my exhaustion and asked if I was having a boy or a girl.
"That's good," she said. "Raise those boys up right. We need more good men in this world"
I never saw her again, but I think of her often and am encouraged by what she told me in passing. I even use these words to encourage other parents who have multiple boys. It is so true, the world really does need more gentlemen. So my other full-time-job is trying to raise these boys into gentlemen.
We hope you'll enjoy our new blog series, "Letters to a Young Gentleman". Each week, we'll share a new letter.
I tell you all the time that you need to be a gentleman. Do you even know what that means? A gentleman is someone who is a good friend, family member, kind-hearted and humble. It doesn't matter how much money you have, how great your clothes are or how smart you are. Being a gentleman is something different.
Being a gentleman doesn't mean fitting into a restrictive mold and forgetting about who you are. I want you to know that you can be yourself always. You are a fascinating young man with a unique perspective on life.
It takes time, patience and persistance. But I see you becoming more like a gentleman every day. You are learning how to share with your brothers and give up your seat for them and others. I'm proud of you. I want to teach you so much more.
We were so proud to have produced custom bow ties for a wedding that was featured in the current issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.
Before making ties for this wedding, I was only slightly familiar with liberty of London prints. The bride had chosen a beautiful floral print for us to make their bow ties and we knew this wasn't your typical printed fabric.
Truth is, I've gravitated away from prints in our bow ties, finding printed fabrics to be less interesting than the ones that have a natural pattern in the weave. I'm now learning to balance the two. Throwing in the occasional print that is really great on a bow tie can be a good thing.
So I have very high standards when it comes to selling prints, but Liberty of London's fabrics certainly fit the bill. Our current Liberty of London bow tie is the Cameron. These don't last long, so if you like it, I recommend you don't waste time. I will say though that we hope to continue to offer new Liberty prints as we sell through them.
Are you looking custom bow ties for a wedding? Take a cue from the bride in Martha Stewart Weddings and pick out your favorite Liberty of London fabric and have The Cordial Churchman produce your bow ties.
I thought I'd share with you this interview. It's ironic that they removed the questions from the published interview format, because now it looks like I'm just providing answers to no questions at all! But I assure you, they supplied questions, and I answered them in their order. Ha.
They asked me about The Cordial Churchman, about what I wear, about how I got interested in clothing, about what it's like to have a small business, about where I've been educationally and vocationally, and about what really gets me going.
I hope you enjoy. Read here.
I am loving everything about this commercial. Especially the look on the Jay Bilas' face as he's trying to tie his son's bow tie.
One of our customers is a teacher and when his students ask him how he ties his bow tie he says it is just like tying a neck tie while being strangled and 10 minutes late.
I think it is easiest to learn while in front of a youtube video and a mirror.
And my other favorite is this one produced by a wonderful gentleman's shop in Columbia, SC.
Seersucker is a thin, puckered, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped or chequered, used to make clothing for spring and summer wear. The word came into English from Hindustani (Urdu and Hindi), which originates from the Persian words "shir o shekar", meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth texture of milk and the bumpy texture of sugar.
During the British colonial period, seersucker was a popular material in Britain's warm weather colonies like British India. When Seersucker was first introduced in the United States, it was used for a broad array of clothing items. For suits, the material was considered a mainstay of the summer wardrobe of gentlemen, especially in the South, who favored the light fabric in the high heat and humidity of the summer, especially prior to the arrival of air conditioning.
The fabric was originally worn by the poor in the U.S. until undergraduate students in the 1920s, in an air of reverse snobbery, began to wear the fabric. Damon Runyon wrote that his new habit for wearing seersucker was "causing much confusion among my friends. They cannot decide whether I am broke or just setting a new vogue."
Making Old Things New - Turning an old necktie into a bow tie.
One of the things people love us for is how we can turn a neck tie into a bow tie. And to be honest, it is a little magical.
Nearly every day, we receive packages with neck ties from all over the country. We rip them open and check out what is inside.
We take out the seams and press them out.
We add our own interfacing and sew them up.
We get to make something new again - and we love it.
If you're interested in purchasing this, you can do it through this link.
*the really good photos - #2 through #5 in this post were taken by our customer and friend and fellow artist, Joe Jackson. Thank you, Joe for making it look so cool.
We are so fortunate to have our work room on Main Street in downtown Rock Hill. It is an old historic building with giant windows, tall ceilings and really good lighting. In this place, we laugh, eat lots of candy, listen to loud music and obviously make plenty of bow ties. Sometimes we are amazed at the beautiful things we get to see throughout the day. One of our seamstresses (and abstract artist in her spare time), Dominique took these shots.
We have really good light.
Our "model" is named Bancroft. Here he is wearing a lapel flower and a channing bow tie. We have good times dressing this guy up. It's always nice to be able to point to him when a visitor picks up a diamond point freestyle bow tie and says what does this one do?
If you've ever sewn, you know the glory that is the magnetic pin cushion - or pin collector I guess. It's not very cushy.
Yes its true, even our trash piles are a work of art.
And the floor after a series of Neck tie to Bow Tie conversions.
And finally, a pile of freshly pressed four toned gingham bow ties that so far have only been available to our Bow Tie of the Month Society.

SC asks Centre whether farmers protesting at Delhi border are protected against COVID-19
New Delhi: The Supreme Court Thursday asked the Centre whether the farmers protesting against the new farm laws at Delhi borders are "protected" against the spread of COVID-19 and said that the guidelines to contain the virus should be followed.
The apex court was hearing a plea seeking various reliefs including CBI probe into the matter related to assembly of people at Anand Vihar Bus Terminal and the Tablighi Jamaat congregation at Nizammudin Markaz in the national capital after the nationwide lockdown was announced last year to contain the pandemic.
"You must tell us what is happening. The same problem is going to arise in farmers' agitation. I do not know if farmers are protected from COVID. So, the same problem is going to arise. It is not that everything is over," said Chief Justice S A Bobde, who was heading the bench which also comprised Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian.
The top court asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, whether protesting farmers are protected from COVID-19.
Mehta replied, "Certainly not".
Mehta said that he will file a report within two weeks on what has been done and what needs to be done.
The plea, filed by advocate Supriya Pandita, has alleged that Delhi police had failed to control the gathering of people at Anand Vihar Bus Terminal last year during the lockdown.
Advocate Om Prakash Parihar, appearing for the petitioner, Thursday told the bench that the police has not said anything about the whereabouts of Nizamuddin Markaz chief Maulana Saad.
The bench told Parihar, "Why are you interested in one person? We are on the issue of COVID. Why do you want controversy? We are interested that COVID guidelines should be followed".
The apex court said it is trying to ensure that COVID-19 does not spread and the guidelines are followed.
"Issue notice. In the meantime, respondents shall file their reply affidavit, if any," the bench said in its order.
The Centre had on June 5 last year told the top court that probe into assembly of people at Anand Vihar Bus Terminal in east Delhi during nationwide lockdown and the Tablighi Jamaat event is being conducted on a day-to-day basis by Delhi Police and there was no need for CBI investigation.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had earlier given the details of steps taken by Delhi Police which is making all efforts to complete the investigation within the time frame to submit the charge sheet in the trial court.
It had told the top court that due to fake media reports and circulation of certain misinformation in the areas of Delhi, thousands of migrants gathered at Anand Vihar Bus terminal and Ghazipur border areas here on March 28, last year.
On the steps taken by Delhi Police, the MHA in its affidavit had said that probe in Markaz matter is being conducted on a day-to- day basis, in accordance with the mandate of law and all efforts are being made to finalize investigation and submit a report under section 173 CrPC (charge sheet) before the trial court in a time bound manner.
The MHA had alleged that Maulana Saad and others had allowed a huge gathering to assemble inside a closed premise, over a protracted period of time, without any semblance of social distances or provision of masks and sanitizers and have caused a situation where a highly infectious disease such as COVID-19 may spread and threaten the lives of inmates.
It had said that a case was lodged against Maulana Saad under various provisions including The Epidemic Disease Act, Disaster Management Act and sections of IPC with crime branch police station and during the investigation of the case, charges under Foreigners Act was also added.
The Ministry had pointed out that there was no negligence or delay in dealing with the Markaz incident and police had on March 21 contacted the authorities of Tablighi Jamaat Headquarters and apprised them of COVID-19 situation and was directed to send the foreigners back to their respective countries and Indians to their native places.

Q: CheckBoxEdit into WPF grid (DevExp) Hello i put TextBox Column into WPF grid like this:
DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.GridColumn col = new GridColumn();
col.FieldName = dr["FieldName"].ToString();
col.Header = dr["Caption"].ToString();

//Gets or sets the name of the column
col.Name = "c"+ dr["FieldID"].ToString();

Grid.Columns.Add(col);

Does anyone knows how to add a CheckBox to this WPF grid (Cell should look like some checkbox)..?
Thanks.

A: I guess you should use EditSettings property of the GridColumn class; you can initialize it with TextEditSettings, CheckEditSettings, ComboBoxEditSettings, DateEditSettings settings classes for different editor types. The one you need for check box is CheckEditSettings.

USU track: Utah State's Dillon Maggard to leave legacy as a distance runner
By Wade Denniston
Published: June 3, 2018 7:30 pm Updated: June 3, 2018 7:32 p.m.
Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations
Utah State's Dillon Maggard (front right) celebrates after winning his section in the semifinals of the 5,000-meter run at the NCAA West Preliminary Championships on May 26.
Seven-time All-American. School record holder in six events. Twelve-time first-team all-Mountain West honoree.
These are just a few of the accolades that describe Utah State track and field's most prolific distance runner in school history. Dillon Maggard will look to add to his legacy next week at the NCAA Track and Field Championships, which will be held Wednesday through Saturday, June 6-9, at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
"It means a lot," Maggard said of leaving a lasting legacy. "It feels good to say I am one of the more decorated distance runners at Utah State. But, what is more important to me are the friendships that I have made since coming here. I've grown a lot as a person, as well. Yeah, I'll think about all the accolades and everything, but what is more important to me is my relationship with (head cross-country) coach (Artie) Gulden and my relationships with my teammates like Jordan (Beutler) and Clay (Lambourne)."
Maggard is one of six Aggies who qualified for the NCAA Championships, doing so in the 10,000-meter run and the 5,000-meter run.
"I kind of shocked myself a little bit, but coach Gulden believed I could do it," Maggard said. "I kind of joked about it and said I was going to do it for a while, but I always thought it was crazy; it's kind of absurd. It's 15 kilometers of racing in three days. I tried to focus on one race at a time, but it means a lot. I shocked myself to a certain extent, and kind of learned about myself, too. A lot of it is just believing, and if you can believe, you can do it, which is what helped me."
By punching those tickets to Eugene, Maggard assured himself of earning two more All-American accolades. The top-eight finishers in each event earn first-team honors, the next eight placers garner second-team accolades and the final eight finishers are tabbed honorable mention.
When the dust finally settles on his collegiate career, Maggard will have earned nine All-American citations, including an eye-popping five during his senior season alone. James Parker, who represented the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics, also finished with nine All-American honors.
"At least for our program, he's shown all of us what hard work and dedication can do," said Gulden, who is in charge of the Aggie distance runners during the indoor and outdoor track and field seasons. "Obviously, he has some God-given talent that he's been blessed with, but he's developed that talent through hard work and dedication, and really helped show his teammates the way, helped show them what is possible."
Maggard punched his ticket to Eugene in the 10,000 meters when he placed seventh in the event with a time of 29:15.45 at the NCAA West Preliminary Championships at Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, California.
Just two days later, Maggard punched his second ticket to Eugene after finishing first in his section and sixth overall in the semifinals of the 5,000 meters. The native of Kirkland, Washington, crossed the finish line in 13:49.42.
"I was confident that he had the ability to make it in the 10,000, and one of the things that we talked about in terms of entering both is to almost have the 5,000 to fall back on," Gulden explained. "If something weird were to happen in the 10k, where he falls or cramps up, then that's not it. He still would have another opportunity. So, going into the 5k, we really had no expectations other than he knew he was going to do his best and run hard, and he stayed out of trouble and fortunately had some pretty fresh, strong legs over the last 600 meters when he took the lead and was able to power home.
"Doing the double is one thing, but doing the double in the West region is a whole different ballgame because of how strong it is," Gulden continued. "There were a lot of elite guys that were fresh in the 5,000 that didn't even make it to nationals. It's pretty cutthroat, those top-12 places in the West region, and fortunately he was strong enough to be able to do both of them."
Maggard will compete in the finals of the 10,000 meters on Wednesday at 8:08 p.m. MT, and the finals of the 5,000 meters on Friday at 8:25 p.m.
Maggard began his senior season of distance running by becoming the first Aggie to win multiple cross-country All-America honors when he placed sixth, the best finish ever for a Utah State runner, at the 2017 NCAA National Cross Country Championships with a time of 29:16.20.
Not only did he finish sixth at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, but Maggard helped Utah State qualify as a team for the first time in school history.
"These last couple of seasons have been great," Maggard said. "Qualifying as a team for the first time in school history in cross-country, and now qualifying as a distance medley relay team, is incredible. The biggest thing that has contributed to my success is embracing running as a lifestyle – not staying up late, staying hydrated, running almost every single day and listening to coach Gulden.
"But honestly, Utah State has given me so many opportunities to be successful, ranging from the training table, training room, refueling station, access to tutors, beautiful running trails, high elevation and so forth. Everything I need to be successful is right here in Logan."
Maggard carried that momentum over into the indoor track and field season, where he helped lead the Aggies' distance medley relay team to first-team All-American honors by placing sixth with a school-record time of 9:32.31 at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in College Station, Texas.
Maggard anchored the team and ran the fastest 1,600-meter split in the event at 3:56.53 to push USU into fifth place in the final standings.
The following day, Maggard captured fifth place in the 3,000 meters with a time of 8:06.69 to earn another first-team All-American accolade.
"The last few years, I've really dedicated myself to the sport," Maggard said. "My sophomore year, junior year and senior year, it takes awhile for all those miles to kick in and see the benefit of it, so it is cool. I always thought I worked hard, but I didn't know how hard I worked until I started getting these results."
Besides the DMR school record, Maggard has also set the indoor standard in the mile (4:01.25, 2017), 3,000 meters (7:52.99, 2018) and 5,000 meters (13:40.59, 2018). Outdoors-wise, he ranks first in the 1,500 meters (3:42.15, 2017) and 5,000 meters (13:30.02, 2018), and he is second in the 10,000 meters (29:01.00, 2018).
Maggard knows his good fortune to stay relatively healthy throughout his career at Utah State has helped him achieve all this success.
"I haven't really had any serious injuries," he said. "I have pretty good mechanics that allow me to not get as many injuries, which helps me. I try to get new shoes every 400 miles or so and try to stay on top of rolling out and stretching, working with (athletic trainer) Sonia (DelBusso) and doing different exercises. I had a lot of Achilles issues last summer and she basically cured me of that. She gave me lots of exercises to do that worked on my stabilizing muscles. With each of those little injuries, you try to improve in other areas so that when you do come back, you're stronger and you have more knowledge about what you need to do to not get injured."
While his collegiate running career may be coming to a close soon, Maggard plans to extend his career at the next level.
"I've been communicating with an agency that I am most likely going to sign with," said the son of Eric Maggard and Stephanie Price. "I am going to be able to run in Europe for the month of July with some European circuits out there, so I am really looking forward to that opportunity. After next Saturday, I'll sign with that agency and they'll present me with different contracts and I'll have to pick the best one."
Maggard will complete his bachelor's degree in conservation and restoration ecology this summer. He will also compete in the 5,000 meters at the USA Outdoor Championships later this month at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.

How to avoid the flu in the public health system
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, many public health systems have begun to scale back services, reduce staffing, and focus on prevention instead of response.
In a new paper, we looked at some of the challenges faced by public health officials and health systems as the pandemic sweeps across the country.
As we wrote in January, public health and public health services can become overwhelmed if they don't have enough people, enough staff, and enough resources to handle the rapidly escalating coronaviral epidemic.
The pandemic has prompted a dramatic increase in the number of people seeking health care and, as a result, a significant rise in the amount of time it takes to receive care.
But while this surge has caused acute shortages of health care providers, the pandoxemic has also made it difficult for health care facilities to respond quickly and efficiently to outbreaks.
To make matters worse, the virus can rapidly overwhelm a health system and make it hard to respond to new outbreaks, particularly in areas where the pandemics largest pandemic occurred decades ago.
That's why it's important to understand the health system's needs and resources as the epidemic drags on.
The following three charts show the challenges facing public health professionals, the public, and the public system.1.
The public health emergency: Health care professionals have limited resources in a pandemic.
Public health resources are limited due to the pandep and other challenges that the virus poses.
The lack of staff to respond and the high cost of testing and diagnosing the virus means that a large proportion of the public has little to no exposure to the virus.
This can lead to a significant lack of response, leading to a lack of accountability for what's happening in the community.
A pandemic response is the only way to ensure the public gets access to the most effective and effective treatment.
The problem is compounded by the fact that the public can't rely on public health responders to respond when there are no health workers available.
Public healthcare systems also can't respond quickly or efficiently in a crisis, so many of them are relying on private contractors to help them with staffing and supplies.
Public Health Response The pandoxebic pandemic also presents a public health crisis that many public and private entities are struggling to respond properly to.
Public officials and public institutions are scrambling to address the pandoxic pandemic and the lack of resources available to them to do so.
In many instances, public and public entities are unable to hire enough health care professionals to do their jobs and can't afford to provide health care to the public when it's already too expensive.
In addition, many health care workers have no incentive to go into a crisis because they will lose their jobs.
The CDC estimates that there are currently over 6.4 million uninsured Americans, meaning that more than one in four Americans does not have health insurance.
Without health care, these individuals may not get the care they need.
The healthcare system needs to be prepared to meet the needs of these people and also to provide them with access to essential health care services.
In the meantime, the private sector is struggling to provide needed health care for the public.
The American Medical Association estimates that in a hypothetical year when the pandecostemic ended, the nation's healthcare system would have required an additional 4.8 million health care jobs, a number that is expected to increase as more patients are diagnosed and treated.
The inability to hire and retain qualified healthcare workers is a big challenge in a public healthcare system that is facing a pandoxepic pandemia.
The Public Health Emergency: Public health response resources are insufficient.
Public institutions are in need of additional staffing and resources to meet new health needs and respond to a pandep.
While this pandemic is causing some shortages of resources in some communities, many hospitals and health care centers are operating with fewer staff, resources, and staffing than they would have had had in a previous pandemic when there were no pandemias major pandemic outbreaks.
This situation has also put public health personnel in a bind because they can't access as much training and equipment to support their work, especially when they are dealing with a pandememic.
These health professionals are working with the public sector to manage the pandectic and provide the services they need to meet public health needs.
For example, hospitals are running a few extra nurses to handle additional cases of the virus and to help with the response to other health crises.
However, while this effort may seem like a good use of resources, it also is a burden that puts public health staff at a disadvantage because they have to rely on less trained, less experienced staff members and are unable at the same time to recruit new staff members.
Hospitals are also struggling to get new staff into their systems, which is one of the biggest challenges for public health.
Hospitization for pandemic-related illnesses has become increasingly difficult due to a shortage of qualified staff, equipment, and training.
This is one example of the

How to get free public library cards on a smartphone
Public libraries across the country have been flooded with new cards this week, and a new app is hoping to get people to open them.
Loyal Reader is a new free app that will allow people to get a card in their pocket.
Users can select an email address or a phone number, and the app will then take a photo and send the card to the email address.
Users will then have to fill out a form to confirm their identity, and it will be returned to them within a few hours.
Livestreaming services like Netflix and YouTube have already been providing free public libraries cards, and now it's getting more attention.
Livesharing app GoFundMe has also started offering free public card readers, and users are already offering their own cards as gifts.

Remember what it was like going to a restaurant before food allergies and ordering ANYTHING you want off the menu? Well, you MUST visit this restaurant. You'll experience that feeling all over again! The owners "get" gluten free and almost every item on the menu is gluten free, including traditionally gluten items like appetizers, soup, pasta, burgers, sandwiches, beer, and desserts. Their gluten free fish and chips are to die for. They focus on fresh and high quality ingredients. The food is fabulous and atmosphere warm and inviting. You won't be disappointed!

Maximilian Johannes Maria Hubert Reichsgraf von Spee (Copenhague, 22 de junho de 1861 — Oceano Atlântico, 8 de dezembro de 1914) foi um oficial da Marinha Alemã Kaiserliche (Marinha Imperial), que comandou o Esquadrão do Leste Asiático durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Spee entrou na Marinha em 1878 e serviu em uma variedade de funções e locais, incluindo em uma canhoneira colonial na África Ocidental Alemã na década de 1880, o Esquadrão da África Oriental no final da década de 1890 e como comandante de vários navios de guerra na principal frota alemã no início de 1900. Durante seu tempo na Alemanha no final da década de 1880 e início da década de 1890, ele se casou com sua esposa, Margareta, e teve três filhos, seus filhos Heinrich e Otto e sua filha Huberta. Em 1912, ele havia retornado ao Esquadrão da Ásia Oriental como seu comandante, e foi promovido ao posto de vizeadmiral (vice-almirante) no ano seguinte.

Após a eclosão da Primeira Guerra Mundial em julho de 1914, Spee liderou seu esquadrão através do Pacífico até a costa da América do Sul. Aqui, em 1º de novembro, ele derrotou o 4º Esquadrão Britânico de Cruzadores sob o comando do contra-almirante Christopher Cradock na Batalha de Coronel, afundando dois cruzadores de Cradock e forçando seus outros dois navios a recuar. Um mês depois, Spee decidiu atacar a base naval britânica nas Ilhas Malvinas, mas uma força britânica superior o surpreendeu. Na Batalha das Ilhas Malvinas que se seguiu, o esquadrão do vice-almirante Doveton Sturdee, que incluía dois poderosos cruzadores de batalha, destruiu o Esquadrão da Ásia Oriental. Spee e seus dois filhos, que por acaso serviam em dois de seus navios, foram mortos, junto com cerca de 2 200 outros homens. Spee foi aclamado como um herói na Alemanha, e vários navios foram nomeados em sua homenagem, incluindo o cruzador pesado Admiral Graf Spee, que foi construído na década de 1930 e foi derrotado na Batalha do Rio da Prata durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Stabilization efforts are in full swing at the site of a landslide that claimed a portion of SR-12 between Bryce Canyon City and Tropic. The Utah Transportation Commission approved a transfer of pavement funds a week ago in St. George to continue our efforts to restore travel lanes in each direction and keep communities connected.
The contractor has installed more than 80 soil nails and also drilled to locate bedrock. Geotechnical exploration will continue and earthwork is ongoing. In accordance with the UDOT procurement contract to expedite repairs, original stabilization designs may be modified as the contractor continues work to accommodate a permanent design solution.
Quick repair and preventative measures by UDOT maintenance crews and our partnering suppliers followed by an immediate mobilization from the contractor allowed us to keep a lane of passage through the area without losing the entire road width. These efforts appear to be working as we have not seen any additional movement and we continue to learn the subsurface complexities. We do continue monitoring 24-hours-a-day and are very appreciative of motorists respect for each other and those in the work zone.
We are still weeks away from a two-lane solution and recognize tourism traffic will increase. UDOT has other repair and preservation work scheduled for SR-12 this season and is very sensitive to keeping tourist plans on track. As we award these projects and learn the various contractor schedules we will coordinate our public information services on this corridor to assist in your seasonal efforts and solicit your help in communicating to those most directly affected.
UDOT maintains basic public information pages for all our projects on our main webpage www.udot.utah.gov under the "Projects and Studies" tab. Our current project is located under the hyperlink "S.R. 12 near Bryce Canyon National Park" Email inquiries can be sent to udotregion4@utah.gov.

Florence Kling Harding
Born: Marion, OH
Married: Henry de Wolfe, 1860, divorced 1886;
Warren Harding, 1891
First Lady: 1915-1921
Warren Harding was elected by a landslide in 1920. It seemed that the public was pleased to again have a vigorous President with an eminently sociable First Lady. The Hardings described themselves as "just plain folks" and it was reported that the First Lady would often greet tourists at the White House. She was known as a successful hostess at huge receptions and garden parties. Unbeknownst to most of the public, however, the Hardings defied Prohibition and regularly served liquor for the President and his close friends. Florence Harding enjoyed playing bartender and the President's cronies enjoyed having her around. They called her "Duchess" and even the President referred to her as such.
Florence was devoted to the achievement of high political office for Warren. At the time of their marriage, she was a divorce with a young son. Her father, an extremely wealthy banker in Marion, Ohio, strongly opposed her relationship with Harding (who was five years Florence's junior.) After the marriage, Florence's father did not speak to her for some seven years.
She once said, "I have only one-real hobby-- it's my husband." Without his strong willed wife, poker-playing Warren probably would not have become President. It is said that Florence insisted that he run for the nation's highest office. Although he didn't want to be President, She certainly wanted to be First Lady!
The Harding administration was known for being scandal-ridden and corrupt. President Harding once said that, "In this job I am not worried about my enemies. It is my friends who are keeping me awake." This bitter remark referred to the members of Harding's so-called "Ohio Gang," the cronies who turned out to have been poor friends indeed. In an effort to shore up his declining public image, the President and First Lady embarked on a cross-country "Voyage of Understanding" in June 1923. On August 2, the President died in San Francisco, probably of a cerebral blood clot. Florence eventually burned almost all the presidential papers, an act which has certainly served to cloud the truth regarding the Hardings' knowledge of the corruption around them. Florence Harding survived her husband by only little more than one year, dying in 1924 of complications relating to chronic kidney disease.

Luci Cassi Longí () va ser un magistrat romà. Formava part de la gens Càssia, i de la família dels Cassi Longí, que eren d'origen plebeu. Era fill de Quint Cassi Longí i net de Quint Cassi Longí, cònsol l'any 164 aC.

L'any  va ser pretor i enviat a Numídia per portar a Jugurta a Roma sota promesa de salconduit. Jugurta no creia en la promesa del senat, però Longí va donar la seva pròpia paraula, que donada la seva reputació, va ser més apreciada pel rei que la del senat. L'any  va ser cònsol amb Gai Mari i va rebre com a província la Gàl·lia Narbonense amb ordes de lluitar contra els cimbres. Però el mateix any va morir durant la Guerra Cimbria a la batalla de Burdigala, mentre lluitava contra els tigurins al territori dels al·lòbroges.
