Aging is a natural process which every one of us has to undergo it on their life time, but this face yoga can reverse the aging signs, it is an alternative remedy to keep your young looks on face. The toning up of facial muscles happens at face yoga technique. The blood circulation is enhanced on face thoroughly, so even circulation of blood on entire face is attained. Thus your complexion is maintained and glowingness to skin is attained and radiant complexion along with a younger look in face you will get finally, this is the result of this amazing therapy (face yoga). The aging signs on skin make it look translucent, pale in colour, very thinner, age spots, pigmentation, and lentigos on UV rays exposed regions. The elasticity of the skin is reduced on aging, the oil balance is not maintained in the skin of aged person, since sebaceous gland may not secrete or imbalance in it may result in less oil secretion on skin.
The elastin fibres on skin is affected on exposure of skin to UV rays, thus elastin fibres are break down on skin, thereby causing skin to lose the elasticity and go sagging. Each and every year our skin may look different and turn into difference in texture, appearance and consistency. Why the actual shape of your face may get changed on aging. But are you want to know the secret remedy process to protect your skin from those aging signs and symptoms, come let's have a clear look at this wonderful therapy and start practicing daily on our life to keep your skin look younger.
Our face is made with 60 muscles in it, it too needs toning like how our body requires it, and the positive aspect of this face yoga is everyone can do it, that too on any wherelse. Breathing is highly considered as an essential one on this method. In this face yoga method the remaining carbon-dioxides are completely exhaled, thus giving a complete cleanse to our lungs. After cleaning up those carbon-dioxides, our lungs can be fully accumulated with fresh oxygenated air alone, thus making a healthy respiration.
You have to do this method for one minute focusing on the center, this to be done by closing your eyes, the center head region is highly focused and you need to close your eyes while trying out this, feel the pressure point on the head, finger pad region must be used to apply pressure and feel it. While doing this process don't use your nails. You need to tap with finger pads, you have to feel where tapping process feels good, after knowing that just concentrate more on that particular region.
After taking a good scalp massage do this technique and above said method for one minute, you will get a good relief from the head pain and hangovers. You have to place your palms closer to above your ear region, give some pressure on it, while trying this process you need to exhale through the nose. Move the palms slightly and give circular motions.
You can sit either on floor or in taller chair, take your right hand palm raise it to 45 degree and then touch the left hand side ear region, the neck has to be tilted to left side. Neck has to be stretched along that stretch the shoulder and arm muscles. You have feel while the stretch is, you have to remain in this pose, while doing this method you need to pull your tongue outside. In the tilt side only tongue has to be stretched outer. Exhalation should be through mouth. You're pushing all carbon-dioxide outside the lungs. Do it for 10 seconds.
Raise both of your arms, stretch it above the head, and keep holding two hands together, while pressing shoulder you have to do exhalation. Try to straighten the elbow region. While dosing this pose make your mouth to o shape, by opening up. What you have to do is, pull it downward. Forehead should not be wrinkled while trying out this, gaze has to be turned on upward direction, and then you may feel the stretch on eyes and mouth. Nose has to do the breathing action.
Exercising the facial muscles are done, then you need to do face massages, these massages helps to remove toxins by simply enhancing the blood circulation and lymph flow. These massages help to remove the puffiness of eyes and dark circles. Acupressure method is used in this face yoga process, and then you get complete relaxation, relaxing the tension on face is got by relaxation, you can get free of those wrinkles, blemishes and lines.

The understatement site has an enlightening survey on how (US) phones have (or haven't) been able to be updated to later versions of Android.
Last May, I covered the same topic and concluded that consumers have expectations that probably aren't viable. I also mooted the idea that maybe OEMs might abandon major upgrades and only provide bug fixes. This turned out to be very contentious and I got a lot of angry feedback! Since then, upgrades have made many older Android devices easier to program for developers so I now I see the failure of this track of thinking.
Nevertheless, I know it's very difficult and not financially viable for some OEMs to upgrade phones. Their source control practices and types of change to Android (within rather than on top of) make adding older Android version specific bug fixes and enhancements, to newer versions of the OS, difficult. It's a problem waiting for a clever solution.

Kobe Bryant Won't Return for the 2016 Olympics
Steve Nash Says Kobe Bryant 'Sealed the Deal' for Trade to Lakers
Ryan Ward
After dominating the competition in the preliminary rounds during the 2012 Olympics, Team USA advanced to the quarterfinals to face off against Australia. With Australia posing little threat to the Americans, Kobe Bryant and company are likely to advance to the next round to face Argentina.
As predicted, Team USA will likely finish this tournament in London, England on top with a second consecutive gold medal to their credit. Once the Olympics are officially in the books, questions will surface about the NBA restricting players over 23 competing internationally for Team USA and which players will return if the new rule doesn't go into effect.
Although it remains uncertain whether or not the NBA implements this restriction moving forward, one thing has become clear with Kobe Bryant letting it be known that he won't return for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janerio, Brazil.
According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com via Twitter, Kobe is done playing for Team USA:
Not that there was a ton of doubt, but Kobe got asked last night if this is indeed his last Olympics at 34. Kobe's response: "This is it"
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 7, 2012
At 37 years-old heading into the 2016 Olympics, it was fairly obvious that Kobe wouldn't return for another go around. Not only will Kobe be retiring from international competition with Team USA after these Olympics, but he will most likely be a year or two removed from playing in the NBA before tipoff in Brazil four years from now.
Over the past few months, Kobe has been openly talking about retiring. After playing the final two years of his current contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe intends to walk away from the NBA and may play overseas in Italy, Spain or Turkey for one more year before officially retiring from the game of basketball.
In the meantime, Laker fans better not miss a game over the next two years with Kobe possibly calling it a career after the 2013-14 NBA season and having no intention of playing for Team USA after the 2012 Olympics.

Welcome back to another tutorial on functions. Last time, we looked inside memory to see what functions looked like in the flesh and all that Assembly was pretty nasty. At least you have some exposure to it. This time, we will be examining how functions work with the stack.
Let's bring back the code we used in the previous tutorial.
So I've explained a few times about the return. We know that it passes control back to the caller of the function and we also know it can give back a value but we're still unsure about how it knows where it needs to return. Let's compile it and debug to see how it all works.
First of all, we require breakpoints to pause the program so that we can see what is happening at those times. We break at line 15 before we call the function and at line 7 inside the function. We will then compare the differences in the stack to see if anything changed.
From the previous tutorial, we saw that two values were moved onto the stack during the function analysis of main and as we can see, they're both there. Let's continue into the add function and print the stack again.
Matching the addresses, we can see our variables num1 and num2 again. But what's this in the red? It looks strangely familiar... Oh, I know where that came from! Let's bring the assembler dump image of main from last tutorial.
Back in Tutorial 0x0D, I had explained about functions and their arguments. When a function is called, the caller passes its own variables and/or values into the callee by copying them and placing them on top of the stack so that the callee now has its own variables which is named whatever you named them in the parenthesis of the function definition. In this case, num1 and num2 were copied, pushed (to place on top of the stack) and stored as variables a and b in add.
Right there, in the blue! So we weren't hallucinating, it's really there! Before the return address is pushed, we require the parameters of the callee function (a and b), so as I have already stated a couple of times, the caller pushes its values onto the stack so it has a copy of its own. Notice how I've been bolding the word copy every time I've typed in for the past few tutorials. It is a copy, not the actual original value. If you change the variables in the callee function, it will not change the values in the caller unless you explicitly return and save the value. What's also interesting is in what order the values are pushed. If you take a look, our first parameter is num1 and our second is num2 but on the stack, it's the other way around! The reason for this is so functions (like printf) with something called variable arguments can be supported*. Let's try experimenting.
This time, we have given the swap function a void return value, which means it does not return anything. If this is the case, no return call is required. num1 and num2 are passed into the swap function again, just like the add function in the previous code only now, we have set the two values to different numbers. Obviously, since I have already explained this, we know that the values will not change.
We've almost finished on functions, there are probably going to be two more tutorials on this topic but I will give it a rest now because there are other things we need to know before getting there. Remember to revise the content, try to fully understand what is happening and maybe we can bring up another exploitation method with the buffer overflow vulnerability. Thanks for reading!

News: Why Are Some People Smarter Than Others?
but why is it "int main()" and not "void main()"?
what happens if I put void instead of int?
When you define main in C it is standard to have it return an int. The program is expected to give a return value back to the operating system (or whatever ran your program) so that it knows how the program was terminated whether it was successful or some error occurred. As for Java, I'm not sure of why main is declared as having a void return type. For more information, please refer to this Stack Overflow question.


MEDICAL TRANSLATION - Бюро переводов ТРАДОС. Киев.
Any specialist will tell you that medical translation is just a kind of scientific and technical translation. It is true and untrue at the same time.
The major difference of medical translation is not related to linguistics!
What Makes the Specific Nature of Medical Translation Services?
The finished translation must contain accurate medical terminology in order not to lead to indeterminate diagnosis, misinterpretation of scientific discoveries and therefore to serious professional mistakes.
Why Do Most Translation Companies "Dislike" Medical Translation Orders?
such orders are often urgent, there are not enough professional translators in this field, and a staff translator is unable to "fight" with the illegibility of the text.
Medical texts contain a great number of terms, acronyms and special designations. The names of the same concepts may vary in different languages or regions. For instance the Russian term "анализ крови" can be translated into English in different ways: blood test or blood analysis, though British and American doctors use a special term – complete blood count (CBC) – which is not mentioned in any dictionary.
Do Translators Have to Know Latin?
Medical translation requires knowing or understanding Latin. For example an ophthalmologist's certificate may contain the Latin abbreviations such as OD, OS which stand for oculus dexter, oculus sinister (the right eye and the left eye) – which may puzzle a beginner.
So Is It Worth Risking?
Any medical translation requires not only knowing the language well – it also means that a professional medical translator must have profound knowledge in medicine. Not only does a medical translator respond for the work, he or she is also liable for health and life of the people who will take the drug described in the translation or undergo the prescribes treatment.
For this reason, all respected translation companies often employ doctors or health consultants to do the careful proofreading of the ready translation. In case of complex projects such as translation of medical equipment technical specifications we also attract the developers and engineers.

The End of the End: Writers on Last Lines
Chloe Benjamin - 2.23.2015 | 2
Writing the final pages of a novel is difficult enough, but then comes the final challenge. It's the end of the end, the last stop on the line, the dazzling dismount: a damn good closing sentence.
I finished my novel while sitting in a movie theater, watching a documentary on light pollution. I'm not sure what it was about The City Dark that helped me get there. Maybe it was the documentary's eerie central question — Is darkness becoming extinct? — or perhaps it was the church-like quiet of the theater. Maybe it was that, in my utter absorption, I'd for once stopped thinking about the novel. Whatever it was sent me scrambling for a pen and a receipt and then, when I couldn't find either, repeating one line in my head like a mantra: I knew there was nobody watching me. I wasn't sure that it was elegant, or even grammatically sound, but I did know it was just how my narrator — who spends the novel negotiating issues of privacy and voyeurism — would want the book to end. Grammatical or not, it was my last line, and I was sticking to it.
Read on to see how six authors found theirs.
1. Rufi Thorpe, author of The Girls from Corona del Mar
For my debut novel, The Girls from Corona del Mar, I had no idea what the last lines would be and finding the ending was kind of like fencing by yourself in a giant gymnasium in the dark. I just kept writing and writing. Where was it? It had to be around there somewhere. There couldn't NOT be an ending. I parried and thrusted and eventually I found an opponent in the darkness and somehow the damn thing got written, but it was not graceful. It was an awkward and sweaty process. Clearly there had to be a better way.
John Irving, of whom I am an ardent and really inappropriately effusive fan, claims to start with his last scene first and then write the whole novel toward it. How elegant, I thought. What a beautiful way to work. So that is what I attempted with my second novel, which Knopf recently bought and which will come out, you know, eventually. So I wrote the final scene of the book first, and then I started at the beginning and I wrote toward it. This is not as easy as it seems! The book, like a sewing machine going too fast, kept veering off in unexpected directions, taking huge looping digressions. And yet, what was there to do but follow where the characters led me? When I write, I tend to write a lot and then discard a lot, and so I patiently followed my characters and eventually, low and behold, they wound up right where I had started, at the ending I had chosen for them in the beginning. I added one extra scene-let, more of a coda really, and then that was it, but mainly because it felt somehow incorrect to end a novel on an airplane. You have to land, right? You just have to. So I let them land, and then that was it: the trip was over.
In the end, I am not sure one strategy is actually more effective than the other, and both cause a tremendous amount of anxiety. In the first case, you are terrified there is no ending and your characters will just continue on like Schrödinger's cat, half alive and half dead, with nothing at all resolved. But in the second case, you doubt constantly that the ending you initially chose was the right one. What if you are forcing your characters into actions and behaviors that no longer make sense for them? What if their destiny is no longer their destiny and you are just like a bad matchmaker trying to force through an arranged marriage out of pride? So far as I can tell, there is no best option, and in fact part of how you know you have finished a novel and that the ending you have found is the ending you were meant to find, is that the entire process is awkward and sweaty and appalling and at the end of it you vow never to do it that way again.
2. Meg Wolitzer, author of Belzhar
My character's name is Jam, and she's been sent to a boarding school for "emotionally fragile, highly intelligent" teenagers, because she cannot get over the tragic loss of her boyfriend. It's revealed early on that this boy once gave Jam a jar of his favorite kind of jam. Throughout the
book, she says she will never open the jar; doing so would be letting go of her love for this boy and everything they had together. I will get to the last line, but to give it context I first have to mention what comes right before it. The very end of the book reads:
'This stuff is supposed to be pretty good,' I say, and then, trying to look casual, I grasp the lid of the jar and give it a turn. It makes a surprisingly sharp pop, as if it were releasing not just air, but something else that's been dying to get out for a long time.
Then I sit cross-legged on my bed, leaning against the study buddy, facing DJ, and with a slightly bent knife stolen from the dining hall, I spread some of the dark red jam on a couple of crackers—one for her, and one for me. When I put mine in my mouth, the sweet taste startles me. I let it linger.
I let it linger. I was excited to write that very last line; it felt right, coming after the description of opening the jar, which is a big deal for the narrator. The last line serves as a kind of coda, a way to hold on to what's just happened — to give not only Jam a chance to see that her action matters, but that its effect will have some staying power. This, of course, is what all writers want their readers to experience; we hope that, somehow –– at least for a little while –– the words will linger.
3. Adelle Waldman, author of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.
I struggled a lot with the final chapter of Nathaniel P., last line included. I worried about being too heavy-handed, inflecting the ending with too much of my own point-of-view. Although I definitely favor a certain reading, I tried to refrain from any overt signaling of what I think because I wanted to remain true to the book's character, Nathaniel. The last line reads:
He'd no more remember the pain — or the pleasure — of this moment than he would remember, once he moved into the new apartment, the exact scent of the air from his bedroom window at down, after he'd been up all night working.
I wanted the line to be ambiguous in its meaning, to convey a feeling that is acute and earnest but can nonetheless be interpreted as the fleeting nostalgia of the moment — something that can be forgotten without consequence — or something more important, the kind of deeper truth that can be inconvenient and unsettling and which we might prefer to bury under the chaos of day-to-day life. I think such ambiguousness is true to life: as we go through our lives, we rarely know how to read what we feel, how much weight to put on this or that passing mood. I wanted the novel's presentation of psychological and moral life to be as complicated and prone to shape-shifting as our actual private lives.
The line also contains a nod to another book, but this is so subtle — practically imaginary — that it's for myself rather than because I expect anyone else to see it. For me, the reference to the smell of morning from a window recollects a scene in George Eliot's Adam Bede. The charming, handsome Arthur Donnithorne has spent the night worrying about a romance he started in spite of his better judgment; he resolves to end the relationship before it goes too far. But when he wakes up the following morning, to a lovely day, and breathes in the fresh morning air from his window, his late-night anxiety seems overwrought. He puts aside as melodramatic the resolutions he made. In the course of the novel, it turns out he was right to be worried; it was the cheerfulness and bustle of day that was misleading. I think this scene is incredibly perceptive about how people, myself included, actually behave, and I liked the idea of calling back to it, ever so subtly.
4. Ted Thompson, author of The Land of Steady Habits
I wrote many, many drafts of this novel and each had a different ending, and a different final sentence. Some were mean and cutting, some were attempts at hopefulness, some were vague in a way I hoped a reader would make sense of (since I certainly couldn't), and all of them were overthought. I was trying so desperately to control the readers' experience of that final moment that I forgot about the characters and the story. Somehow, with final lines, it's so often impossible to separate from them my own feelings about the work as a whole, so that I find myself trying to cram as much meaning as possible into a single sentence, trying, I suppose, to redeem the project from all the ways it has fallen short of what I'd hoped it would be.
So how did I find a final sentence I was satisfied with? The short answer is that I ran out of time. We were supposed to leave on our honeymoon the following day. It was summertime, August, and we were visiting my parents in northern New York. Everyone in my family was outside in the sunshine and I could hear them through the open windows laughing and chatting, occasionally someone diving into the pool, and everything inside me wanted to be out there with them. But the novel was a year overdue, and somehow I couldn't bring myself to leave on this trip knowing that the cloud of this book — and all its subsequent distractions — would follow us onto our honeymoon. So I sat at the desk in that bedroom writing and rewriting the final paragraph by hand. I wrote it and scratched it out and rewrote it, added arrows and clauses, read it aloud to myself again and again, trying to listen for the right feeling. Finally, as the afternoon sun began to change, I knew everyone would soon be headed back inside, so I said to hell with it. I typed it into the manuscript and emailed it to my editor. Then I went outside, announced that I had finished, and went swimming.
5. Michelle Huneven, author of Off Course, Blame, Jamesland and Round Rock
In three of my four novels, I knew well before I was halfway done what the last line was going to be. In fact, I wrote to those last lines. I had to see my way clear to them. They pulled me through. In my fourth novel, Off Course, I didn't know the last line and I overwrote the ending by 20 or 30 pages. (Sometimes a book just ends, no matter how hard you try to tack on something else). Only after cutting those pages and packing what I could use from them into the preceding chapters did I locate my last line in a serviceable, finalizing bit of exposition. Who knew?
My favorite last line comes from my second novel, Jamesland.
Jamesland begins with 30-something Alice Black waking up in the middle of the night to find that a deer has come into her house. She chases it out and goes back to bed, but in the morning, she can't tell if the deer was a dream or a fact. Either way, she's sufficiently disturbed to discuss the event with various people, including a minister who suggests that Alice look into what deer might mean to her. In her own inadvertent way, Alice does look into this. She learns, for example, that in Buddhism, the deer is a symbol for listening; in Persian carpets, the deer is a symbol of worldly cravings; in the Psalms, the deer thirsts for water like the soul thirsts for God, etc. You might say that deer become a vehicle for meaning in Alice's life. Although she never pins down what, specifically, deer "mean to her," her whole life changes as she pursues the question.
One thing that happens is, she takes up with Pete, a chef who, at the end of the novel, has just opened a new restaurant. On a cool, winters day before the dinner shift starts, he's walking up through Griffith Park to meet Alice, and he sees a deer leaping over bushes on the hillside.
Now, whenever I've come across deer in the wild, I am always awed; I think they're beautiful, graceful, wildness incarnate. But some people see something else.
Pete, watching the deer, pats his pockets for a pen or pencil to jot down a note. But he hasn't got a pencil. So here is the book's last line: "He'd just have to remember, then, to put venison on the menu."
6. Marie-Helene Bertino, author of 2 A.M. at the Cat's Pajamas
I'm not one to approach the craft of writing with any sort of metaphysical bent. Those who speak of themselves as detached vessels through which prose flows can find me in the corner, rolling my damn eyes. However, there are a few aspects of the writing process I regard with a reverent wonder approaching the realm of soothsaying. None more so than last lines. I write the following with the typing equivalent of a straight face: before I know who the characters are, before I even know what the story is about, I hear its title and last line. I hear the last line, and then I write toward it. Not all the time, but usually.
This doesn't mean I'm trapped. Knowing the airy location at which the story terminates does not mean I have any idea where the story will take me, or who I might invent as I journey. I don't even know what the last line will mean to the characters. If an X marks the spot of where the story ends, the map still has no lines or countries, and the X could be a trap door leading to another dimension.
It's really that simple.
Bring your sorry shit back tomorrow.
I vacillated between two possible last lines for my novel 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas. The difference between the two was the decision of who I wanted to end the story on — the young jazz singing protagonist, who we've struggled with for 280 pages, or a heretofore minor character. The former would leave the reader in an enclosed space, the room in which the little girl is rehearsing. The latter would end in an expansive place, literally and figuratively, leaving the door open for (what turned out to be) spirited interpretation. It would be impossible for me to convey the importance of the last line without you reading the novel, but I can say this: I knew the last word would be "tomorrow." For a novel that takes place over the course of one day, that for the most part eschews flashbacks in order to keep all momentum pointed forward, it was important that the last word acknowledged the idea of a next day.
First lines are a challenge for me. They feel like work. If you want to know how to write a first line, I'd ask Kevin Wilson or Amy Hempel or Charles Baxter. If first lines belong to the story and its launch, last lines belong to the story's effect. The last line launches the reader into what he or she will end up thinking about the story. Maybe that's why they must feel delivered, and my job is to keep myself open in the way most conducive to hear them. I know, I know. Roll your eyes. I don't blame you one bit.
I'd most likely never admit any of this had I never heard Amy Hempel say at a reading that she normally hears her last lines first, too. That, along with so many other things she has said about writing, validated the most internal of internal inclinations I've grown up feeling about the craft.
So if this all sounds like hooey to you, please take it up with her.

A Reading Queue for 2004
I recently reorganized my bookshelves. I straightened and categorized the books, and I separated out all of the books that I haven't read and that I hope to read sooner rather than later. These are books that I've bought at the store, received as gifts, and unearthed on bookfinding expeditions. There are 31 of them. For a while now, I've had a quite large "to read" pile, and I add titles almost every week, it seems. The problem is that stacks of books are constantly getting pushed aside while I read whatever book I'm most excited about at the moment. There's not really anything wrong with this except that there are books that I really would like to read, but never seem to get around to it. So, since I obviously am not to be trusted, I have decided to take some of the decision making out of my hands: I have set aside a special shelf to hold my new "Reading Queue." On it are all of the books that I own and would like to read but haven't yet. From this shelf full of books, I will randomly select the next one to read. Before I get into that though, here's my reading queue, some of the books that will keep me occupied during the coming year:Without Feathers by Woody AllenThe Summer Game by Roger AngellOnce More Around the Park: A Baseball Reader by Roger AngellGame Time: A Baseball Companion by Roger AngellAn Army at Dawn by Rick AtkinsonThe Sheltering Sky by Paul BowlesThe Hole in the Flag by Andrei CodrescuDon Quixote by Miguel De CervantesParis Trout by Pete DexterThe Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre DumasThe Last Amateurs by John FeinsteinA Season on the Brink by John FeinsteinLiving to Tell the Tale by Gabriel Garcia MarquezLast Train to Memphis by Peter GuralnickThe Great Fire by Shirley HazzardRound Rock by Michelle HunevenThe Known World by Edward P. JonesBalkan Ghosts by Robert D. KaplanShah of Shahs by Ryszard KapuscinskiThe Price of Admiralty by John KeeganEverything's Eventual by Stephen KingLiar's Poker by Michael LewisThe Coming of Rain by Richard MariusThe Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullersLooking for a Ship by John McPheeMoviegoer by Walker PercyFraud by David RakoffThe Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat by Oliver SacksEast of Eden by John SteinbeckQuicksilver by Neal StephensonMr. Jefferson's University by Garry WillsOnce I had a full shelf to pick from, the only question was how to pick randomly. I thought about writing down names and picking out of hat, but that seemed like a pain, and I would have had to go look for a hat, so instead I located a random number generator to help me make my choice. I'm going back east tomorrow for two weeks, so I picked three books to take with me: Everything's Eventual, Paris Trout, and Don Quixote. I'm guessing most folks will be pretty busy over the next couple of weeks, and so will I, so I'll probably only post a couple of times while I'm gone. They should be good, though. Look for "My Year in Books" and a post about the books I gave as gifts. Happy Holidays, all.

RNS Number : 1978T
Savannah Energy Plc
("Savannah" or "the Company")
Publication of Updated Nigeria CPR with 27% Gross 2P Reserves Upgrade
Financial and Operational Update Year to Date
Successful Drilling and Completion of Uquo-11 Gas Production Well Below Budget
Savannah Energy PLC the African-focused British independent energy company sustainably developing high quality, high potential energy projects in Nigeria and Niger, is pleased to announce the publication of an updated Competent Person's Report ("CPR") covering the Company's assets in Nigeria, whereby Gross 2P Reserves increased 27%, together with a financial and operational update for the year to date.
The CPR was compiled by CGG Services (UK) Ltd ("CGG"), a well-known independent third-party reserves auditor. For an explanation of the defined terms in this announcement readers should refer to the updated Nigeria CPR, which is available to download from the Company's website at www.savannah-energy.com
Andrew Knott, CEO of Savannah Energy, said:
"I am extremely pleased to announce the publication of our updated CPR covering the Company's asset in Nigeria, showing a 27% organic increase in Group 2P reserves. This progression shown in the heart of our business has been replicated in our financials as we maintain a positive year of growth with total revenues up 7% against the same period last year as we reiterate guidance for 2021. Operationally we have successfully drilled and completed the Uquo-11 gas production well, below budget and at a significantly lower cost than previous Uquo wells drilled by our subsidiary company. We look forward to continuing our positive progress through the rest of the year and we expect to update shareholders as to progress made in relation to the Proposed Acquisition (as defined below) when appropriate. We remain confident in our Company's outlook."
Updated Competent Persons Report for Nigeria
-- Certification by CGG of 108.6 MMboe 2P Reserves (2019 CPR[1]: 85.5MMboe) with additional 99.7 MMboe 2C Contingent Resources (2019 CPR(1) : 98.0MMboe);
-- Significant 27% increase to Gross Uquo 2P Reserves driven by the new Pre-Stack Depth Migration ("PSDM") re-processing/re-interpretation of the Uquo 3D seismic survey and better than prognosis from the newly drilled Uquo-11 well; and
-- Nigerian Assets[2] gross NPV10 of US$1.2bn assessed by CGG (NPV10 net to Savannah of US$954m).
-- Total Revenues[3] up 7% y-o-y to US$192.5m for the 10 months ended 31 October 2021 (year-to-date period ended 31 October 2020: US$180.2m);
-- Group cash balance of US$130.8m[4] and net debt of US$382.7m as at 31 October 2021 (as at 31 October 2020: US$80.7m and US$433.3m respectively);
-- Total cash collections from the Nigerian Assets up 6% to US$149.2m for the 10 months ended 31 October 2021 (year-to-date period ended 31 October 2020: US$141.1m);
--      We reiterate our FY 2021 guidance for the following:
o Total Revenues(3) of greater than US$205.0m from upstream and midstream activities associated with the Company's three active Nigerian gas sales agreements and liquids sales from the Company's Stubb Creek and Uquo fields;
o  Group Administrative and Operating Costs(5)   of US$55.0m - US$65.0m;
o Group capital expenditure of up to US$65.0m; and
-- We are revising our Group Depreciation, Depletion and Amortisation guidance from US$19m fixed for infrastructure assets plus US$2.6/boe, to US$20m fixed for infrastructure assets plus US$2.3/boe primarily as a result of the reserves increase at the Uquo field.
Operational Highlights
--      Successful drilling and completion of the Uquo-11 gas production well, below budget;
-- Average gross daily Nigeria production in the year-to-date period ended 31 October 2021 was 21.9 Kboepd, a 16% increase from the average gross daily production of 19.0 Kboepd in the same period last year;
-- Of the total average gross daily production of 21.9 Kboepd in the year-to-date period, 88% was gas, including a 16% increase in production from the Uquo gas field compared to the same period last year, from 99.5 MMscfpd (16.6 Kboepd) to 115.6 MMscfpd (19.3 Kboepd);
--      Front End Engineering Design ("FEED") progressing for the Uquo compression project; and
-- On 2 June 2021, Savannah announced that the Company is in exclusive discussions with ExxonMobil Corporation with respect to the proposed acquisition of its entire upstream and midstream asset portfolio in Chad and Cameroon (the "Proposed Acquisition"). The Proposed Acquisition continues to progress, and the Company expects to provide a further update in the coming weeks.
Nigeria CPR Summary
The Nigerian CPR has been published by CGG and is available to download on the Company's website (https://www.savannah-petroleum.com/en/key-documents). A summary of the gross reserves and contingent resources associated with the Uquo and Stubb Creek fields in South East Nigeria, in accordance with the 2018 Petroleum Resource Management System ("PRMS") is set out in the table below, along with a comparison vs. the numbers presented in the Company's December 2019 CPR as adjusted for production since its publication.

Accugas commenced first gas sales to FIPL, an affiliate company of the Sahara Group, in November 2021 for the provision of gas to the FIPL Afam power plant.
The Uquo-11 gas producer well has been drilled and was completed in the D1.0 and D1.3/D1.4 reservoirs on 16 November 2021. The well total net pay thickness came 71ft above prognosis, with a total thickness of 355ft for the main reservoirs' targets (i.e. C9.0, D1.0 and D1.3/D1.4 reservoirs).
The Company also started ordering compression equipment for the Accugas gas processing plant during the first half of 2021. Factory Acceptance Tests for the two compressor packages have been successfully carried out, the Front End Engineering Design is in progress and we expect the Long Lead Items to be ordered before the year end. Both the drilling and compression projects will ensure our continued ability to deliver gas at current and anticipated future increased contracted volumes to satisfy customer demand.
ESG Reporting Update
Progress continues to be made in rolling out our new sustainability performance and reporting framework across the Group with a view to reporting on this from 2022 onwards. This reporting framework was presented in our re-focused sustainability strategy published in June 2021 which is based on four key strategic pillars: (1) promoting socio-economic prosperity; (2) ensuring safe and secure operations; (3) supporting and developing our people; and (4) respecting the environment. These four strategic pillars are aligned with 13 key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("UN SDGs"), where we believe Savannah can have the biggest economic, environmental, social and governance impact to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. While anchoring our strategy around these 13 UN SDGs, we have chosen to integrate six additional sustainability reporting standards into our new performance and reporting framework. These have been selected on the basis of those most relevant for our sector and of most importance to our stakeholders and include those for: the Global Reporting Index ("GRI"); the eight International Finance Corporation Performance Standards ("IFC PS"); the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers ("IOGP"); the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association ("IPIECA"); the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB"); and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD").

More Derfner
1. More on the Derfner Affair
(open web page to see links)
http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/08/israel%e2%80%99s-derfner-affair/
Israel's Derfner Affair
Posted By Steven Plaut On September 8, 2011
One of the most bizarre controversies concerning freedom of the press
and freedom of speech has been afflicting Israel in recent days. The
basic question is whether there exists some sort of right to advocate
the mass murder of Jews.
That sounds as if it is some sort of debate that took place in the
1930s in the darkest regimes. The entire affair began when a
far-leftist columnist for the only English-language newspaper in
Israel, the Jerusalem Post, expressed support for such a right to
conduct mass murder of Jews. The columnist is Larry Derfner. The
Post is probably the most pluralistic and balanced newspaper in
Israel, giving ample room for opining by writers from the Right, the
Left, the Center, by Arabs and non-Israelis, and by just about
everyone else.
Derfner's endorsement of the right to murder Jews was actually
published in a blog not connected with the newspaper, and it was his
response to the mass murder that was conducted by Palestinians and
some Egyptian collaborators in Israel's deep south near Eilat a few
weeks back. The column triggered a boisterous debate inside Israel
and outside it about the limits of journalistic license and freedom of
speech.
Derfner's comments can be seen as roughly similar to the infamous
comments by Ward Churchill after the 9-11 attack. Churchill had
justified the attacks and denounced the victims as "Little Eichmanns."
Derfner's celebratory justifications of mass murders of Jewish
civilians were not a prank. His comments appeared on a blog, from
which he has since removed them, and his original posting can be read
in full here. His posting began:
'I think a lot of people who realize that the occupation is wrong also
realize that the Palestinians have the right to resist it to use
violence against Israelis, even to kill Israelis, especially when
Israel is showing zero willingness to end the occupation, which has
been the case since the Netanyahu government took over (among other
times in the past). But people don't want to say this, especially
right after a terror attack like this last one that killed eight
Israelis near Eilat. And there are lots of good reasons for this
reticence, such as: You don't want to further upset your own
countrymen when they are grieving, you don't want to say or write
anything that could be picked up by Israel's enemies and used as
justification for killing more of us. (These are good reasons; fear of
being called a traitor, for instance, is a bad reason.) But I think
it's time to overcome this reticence, even at the cost of enflaming
the already enflamed sensitivities of the Israeli public, because this
unwillingness to say outright that Palestinians have the right to
fight the occupation, especially now, inadvertently helps keep the
occupation going.'
He then went on:
'But if, on the other hand, we were to say very forthrightly what many
of us believe and the rest of us suspect that the Palestinians, like
every nation living under hostile rule, have the right to fight back,
that their terrorism, especially in the face of a rejectionist Israeli
government, is justified what effect would that have? A powerful one,
I think, because the truth is powerful. If those who oppose the
occupation acknowledged publicly that it justifies Palestinian
terrorism, then those who support the occupation would have to explain
why it doesn't.'
It goes without saying that Derfner failed to volunteer himself and
his own family as people who should be murdered by Palestinian
terrorism as resistance against Israeli occupation. It is also not
surprising that many an Israeli found Derfner's defense of some sort
of divine right to murder Jews as part of resistance against
"occupation" to be highly reminiscent of similar German claims and of
similar German allegations that their country was under Jewish
"occupation" and control.
Derfner's comments triggered a firestorm of rage. By his own
admission, hundreds of outraged subscribers to the Jerusalem Post
cancelled their subscriptions. Within days the editor of the
Jerusalem Post announced that the paper would no longer employ or
publish Derfner, because of the poor taste in his justification of
mass murder of Jews. Derfner issued a "clarification" and a sort of
apology, but fired he remained. He then took to the pages of the
small socialist newspaper in New York, the Forward, to try to spin his
advocacy of murder into something less offensive.
Very soon Derfner was not only being denounced for his advocacy of
murder, but leftists and anti-Semites within Israel and from all over
the world were defending him, endorsing his comments, and denouncing
the Jerusalem Post for canning him. Countless anti-Israel blogs
denounced the newspaper and its editor for supposedly engaging in
suppressing freedom of speech, calling them "fascists" and
"McCarthyists." Even a New York Times blogger took up the banner for
Derfner, a bit curious since the Times has not published Ward
Churchill nor bin Laden nor others who celebrate the 9-11 attacks on
Firing Derfner of course had nothing to do with freedom of speech. No
one is stopping Derfner from standing on the street corners of Zion
and advocating murder of Jews. Actually, open advocacy of murder is
against the law in Israel and is decidedly NOT regarded as protected
speech, but that law is never applied against Israeli leftists. So
Derfner obviously has nothing to fear in terms of prosecution.
Israel's Attorney General office is dominated by leftists who never
prosecute other leftists for engaging in violence or advocating it,
even when they openly advocate murder. Arabs who openly support
terrorist atrocities and call for mass murder of Jews are never
prosecuted and their statements are regarded as protected speech.
Rabbis and right-wingers who advocate things the prosecutors regard as
"racist" or "incitement" however have been arrested by the score. A
non-leftist who criticizes the illegal and treasonous political
behavior of a leftist extremist is regarded as having engaged in
"libel."
There are some calls in Israel for the enforcement of the law against Derfner.
Ward Churchill's defamation of the victims of the 9-11 attacks might
be protected speech. But that does not grant Churchill any sort of
entitlement to publish his views in any mainstream newspaper, nor to
advocate them in front of any classroom or other forum. Freedom of
speech is not an automatic entitlement to newspaper space.

Hi, my name is Kyle Martin. I live in northeast Pennsylvania and have a passion for building beautiful, mobile-optimized websites for small businesses, bloggers, churches, and nonprofits like you.
Why the name, Blue Brindle Marketing? The color of my first dog is called Blue Brindle. Though Benny has a sweet demeanor and is a great family pet -- his color is not recognized as a standard color according to the National Kennel Club. He can't be used for show and shouldn't be bred -- in other words, he's considered useless. Not to me.

Has anyone tried betting legally using websites.
I believe Betting is allowed in the UK. There are online betting sites too.
I see these live figures on CricInfo in the Bet365 ad.
Let me google for Bet365 for a start.
Anyway, there are wide choices available in bet365. Let me check and see if I can get into thinking the same way as the fixers.
