Zimbabwe targets 40 tonnes of gold in 2023
25 Jan 2023 at 10:38hrs | Views
Zimbabwe's gold mining sector is targeting to raise production to 40 tonnes this year, up from 35.38 tonnes last year, an official said Tuesday.
Last year's output was a record high, spurred by new mining projects, timely payments, and incentives to miners. Out of the 35.38 tonnes produced last year, small-scale and artisanal miners contributed 65.5 percent, Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) Chief Executive Officer Wellington Takavarasha said.
Takavarasha told Xinhua that as small-scale miners, they were cautiously optimistic about this year's prospects due to a number of operational challenges.
The ZMF is the country's largest body representing artisanal and small-scale miners. Although they have traditionally accounted for more than half the country's gold output in recent years, they face challenges including a lack of regularization to enhance operational security.
"There are some issues that need to be addressed, and formalization is key. There is a Statutory Instrument that formalizes the operations of artisanal miners, but it is not yet being implemented. As soon as that Statutory Instrument is implemented, even the 40 tonnes can be surpassed," Takavarasha said.
He said over the past two years, their association has been engaging in educational and awareness campaigns on the need for safe mining practices by artisanal and small-scale miners. This has resulted in improved production by the miners even during the rainy season, as they now practice safe mining methods.
In the past, scores of artisanal miners have died after being trapped in collapsed or flooded mine shafts, often at disused or abandoned gold mines.
Takavarasha commended some large-scale mining companies for helping artisanal and small-scale miners, to whom they have been allocating small claims to work properly and safely.
Gold is one of Zimbabwe's major foreign currency earners, alongside tobacco leaf and platinum.

Oh, those weekends that don't turn out as expected. This was one of those weekends. First, we'll talk about what we did do: we did go to the World Food Festival, went to a sale at Hotel Fort Des Moines (and poked around the hotel a bit to take it in before the renovation begins), we had family movie night, we completed one room of the house (meaning nothing else needs to be done in this room!), and had our last Snookies visit of the year.
We had plans to go to the Beaverdale Fall Festival and we almost made it. We were parked, got out to walk up to the festival, and it began pouring. It was a brief pour, but enough for us to get soaked and the minis requested to go home. We obliged and spent the rest of our Saturday at home. We had also hoped to make it to Adventureland, but got caught up in projects at home. I did, however, end the weekend feeling accomplished and spent a couple of hours finishing up some writing projects in peace (in my office!). One of my favorite feelings is ending a weekend feeling happy, refreshed, and accomplished.
We made it to the World Food Festival for the first time in two years. In between rain showers we ate strawberries dipped in chocolate (or just the chocolate if you're a certain five year old), pupusas, English pub food, Italian meatballs, and gelato. We listened to African tribal drums and watched people salsa dancing.
As we were leaving the World Food fest, we walked by Hotel Fort Des Moines. One of our favorite restaurants is attached to it, but the hotel has been closed for a while. We noticed signs pointing to a sale inside and all of the doors were open. Curiosity got the best of me and we walked in. I wasn't sure what we'd find, but we found the hotel lobby flooded with amazing hotel furniture. Apparently the renovations that we thought had been underway hadn't even begun and they were only now clearing out the hotel rooms. We scored a desk, chair, lamps, and a few other nick knacks all for $45. We also got to poke around the hotel a bit.
Pulling out of my parent's driveway after getting dumped on trying to walk to the festival. Fun times. The minis cried. Everyone agreed to "just go home."
Sunday involved coffee, putting the finishing touches on the office/daycare room, hanging pictures above the stairs, getting the oldest mini to his play date, cleaning the house, and ending with our last trip to Snookie's for the year. That was a great end to our weekend!


Boeing (NYSE:BA), a company that is certainly a target for malware attacks, has come up with a creative solution to weed out these potentially harmful links without relying on out-of-date URL blacklists.
In a patent application (pdf) filed last year and publised by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office today, the company outlines a way to flag links in emails from what it calls "newborn" domains.
Basically, a service will ping whois to check the registration date of any domain names linked to within an email. If they are within a set timeframe, the email server could remediate risk by disabling the link, providing a warning to the recipient, or not delivering the email.
It's an amazingly simple idea that I hope is put into commercial use.
* On the same day Boeing filed its patent application, Cisco filed one (pdf) for detecting domain names registered as part of these systems.
Another example of patenting the bleedin' obvious.
My mail server just downright blackholes anything from .xyz and a few of the other domains that are sold at a discount and are used for not much else other than spamming. .top .download .date .bid .men and .stream spring to mind.
How long until hackers start phishing with using domains bought for $5 at GoDaddy Closeouts or other discount domain marketplaces? Would bypass the age problem nicely for them, no?
Every domain at GD Closeout is at least a year old and many much older with a history of legitimate email usage.

Home / Doc Nixon Dove Production: rare circa 1930
Doc Nixon Dove Production: rare circa 1930
Doc Nixon circa 1930. Fire is lit in a container and a flat lid slapped on it to extinguish the flame. When the lid is removed doves appear. UF Grant was years later to produce the same effect. The lid and load container are original, the bowl a replacement. Nixon Products are rare. Sold as a collectible. If you wanted to preform it I would use FlashPaper in the bowl.
From Magicpedia
Nixon a feature vaudeville performer whose "Where Do the Ducks Go?" routine, Checker Cabinet, Spirit Paintings routines became standards of their day.
By 1900, he may have been operating the Jaynix Amusement Company (named for his middle initial "J" and "Nix" from "Nixon").
No one knows what happened to Doc Nixon after he was last sited some time around 1940. One story was that he had joined a religious order and retired to a monastery. Todd Karr has been researching and thinks he might know what happened.
Valadon's Show and Shanghai Mysteries
By 1906, he had become a professional magician, touring South America with a show heavily based on Valadon's show.
In 1909, he traded his home in Brooklyn, NY to Okito in exchange for Okito's stage show.
He performed the Oriental show (called "Hong Kong Mysteries") under many names: "Neek Suen", "Neek Seun", "Ling Chan Yuen", "Dr. Omar", "Will Savant", "Willie Foo Lee", "Yuen Chan Foo", "Chan Omar", "Nixon-Okito", "Chang Foo Yuen", "Wjaynx", "Chanamar", "The Great Nixon", "Savant, the Japanese Magician", "Savant Nixon" and even "Chandu". He was very litigious, threatening suits against Count Beaumont (for stealing equipment), Henry Clive (for stealing his Spirit Painting act) and even Okito (for attempting to steal the "secret" of the Where Do the Ducks Go trick). Ironically, Where Do the Ducks Go was actually invented by Servais LeRoy, and first performed by Dante.
In 1922, Nixon sold the equipment and rights to "Hong Kong Mysteries" to Grover George. In 1924, Doc Nixon left magic to pursue a career in Radio, which apparently was short-lived. By 1927, despite having sold the rights and equipment of "Hong Kong Mysteries" to Grover George, he was back performing magic, this time under the title "Shanghai Mysteries".
Vanished from the magical stage
In 1939, Nixon suddenly "vanished" from the magical stage. In 1940 Annemann wrote, "Doc Nixon is not dead. Those 'suicide' cards that he sent to many of his old friends didn't make a Merry Xmas for anyone. For him, if he wanted to go, nor for his enemies when he didn't. His friends were worried." (Jinx #89, page 562, 1940)
Persistent rumors that he had abandoned all to become a Tibetan monk were never proven.

Rites of Place
Cloth Text – $79.95
Julie Buckler (Editor)
Emily Johnson (Editor)
Slavic and Eastern European Studies
6.125 x 9.25
Public Commemoration in Russia and Eastern Europe
Julie Buckler and Emily D Johnson
Ranging widely across time and geography, Rites of Place is to date the most comprehensive and diverse example of memory studies in the field of Russian and East European studies. Leading scholars consider how public rituals and the commemoration of historically significant sites facilitate a sense of community, shape cultural identity, and promote political ideologies. The aims of this volume take on unique importance in the context of the tumultuous events that have marked Eastern European history—especially the revolutions of 1905 and 1917, World War II, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. With essays on topics such as the founding of St. Petersburg, the battle of Borodino, the Katyn massacre, and the Lenin cult, this volume offers a rich discussion of the uses and abuses of memory in cultures where national identity has repeatedly undergone dramatic shifts and remains riven by internal contradictions.
Julie Buckler is a professor of Slavic languages and literatures at Harvard University. She is the author of Mapping St. Petersburg: Imperial Text and Cityshape (2005) and The Literary Lorgnette: Attending Opera in Imperial Russia (2000).
Emily D. Johnson is an associate professor of Russian in the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at University of Oklahoma. She is the author of How St. Petersburg Learned to Study Itself: The Russian Idea of Kraevedenie (2006).

Part of the American Civil War
The first big land battle of the American Civil War took place near Manassas in Prince William County in Virginia on July 21, 1861. This episode is called the First Battle of Bull Run and is also known as First Manassas, the latter being the name the Confederates used.
The battle came about as a result of a Union drive to try and take Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Confederate states, as it was felt that taking the city would mean an early end to the uprising.
Brigadier General Irvin McDowell was in command of the Union army, while Confederate forces were led by Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard. Soldiers on both sides were green recruits, and the lack of experience and discipline resulted in the Union army's failure in its attempt to outflank the Confederates at Bull Run.
Despite the failure of the maneuver, the Union army initially held the advantage. Union progress was stalled by stern resistance from a brigade of Virginian soldiers led by Colonel Thomas J. Jackson. It was this incident that led to the colonel getting the nickname "Stonewall" Jackson. The Federal numerical supremacy in the battle changed with the arrival by train of Confederate reinforcements under the command of Brigadier General Joseph E. Johnston.
Boosted by the additional troops, the Confederates launched a vigorous counterattack, forcing the Union army to begin a retreat that soon turned into disorganized panic. The battle soon turned into a Confederate rout.
The first major conflict of the Civil War shocked many people on both sides. The First Battle of Bull Run was significant for the ferocity of its fighting, and the high casualty rate. It was the first indication that the Civil War would be a long and brutal affair.
Brigadier General Irvin McDowell had been appointed as commander of the Army of Northeastern Virginia by the President, Abraham Lincoln. He immediately came under pressure to launch a decisive military operation against the Confederates in Richmond, but argued strongly against this option. McDowell was concerned by the lack of experience of his troops, and felt that such a major undertaking was beyond their capabilities.
McDowell eventually bowed to the pressure, including that from the President himself, and assembled his forces at Washington. Standing at 35,000 men, this was the largest army that had ever assembled in America, and it left Washington on July 16th.
Battle Plan
General McDowell planned to launch two separate attacks on the Confederate forces, and split his forces into three columns. Two of these columns were to attack the Confederates at Bull Run, and it was intended that the third column was to outflank the enemy forces and attack from the rear. This maneuver would also give the Union forces control of the railway line from Richmond.
McDowell knew his army outnumbered the Confederates, who had just under 22,000 troops at Bull Run, and he felt sure that once the attack on Bull Run was initiated, the rebels would withdraw back to the Rappahannock River. He was even confident enough to dispatch 5,000 soldiers to provide rearguard protection to his forces.
He had previously dispatched a brigade of some 18,000 men under the command of Major General Robert Patterson to tackle the Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley so that they could be used as reinforcements in the battle at Bull Run.
On July 18th, McDowell dispatched a division under the command of Brigadier General Daniel Tyler to pass the Confederate forces on their right flank. This maneuver failed when Tyler and his men were met with Confederate resistance at Blackburn's Ford and were unable to continue forward.
Overall, McDowell's plan failed for several reasons. Dividing his forces into three columns was not viable because of poor coordination and communication within the unskilled ranks. Secondly, Major General Robert Patterson had failed in his attempt at the Shenandoah Valley and the Confederates had managed to bring the reinforcements in. This meant that when the battle began, the Union army no longer outnumbered the Confederates to such a great extent.
On July 21st, McDowell dispatched 12,000 troops along the Warrenton Turnpike to march to Sudley Springs, while Tyler was ordered to take his troops to the Stone Bridge. These soldiers were sent out at 2:30 am, the intention being to catch the Confederates by surprise at first light.
From the very start, things went wrong, with Tyler's division blocking the turnpike and preventing the main force from advancing. The Union leader had also failed to realize the roads into Sudley Springs were often little more than dirt tracks. As a result, the army did not reach the Bull Run River until 9:30 am.
Even though the Confederates, under the command of Colonel Nathan Evans, were hopelessly outnumbered by almost twenty to one by the oncoming Union army on the left flank, the Union army seemed to be launching half-hearted attacks. This led Colonel Jones to suspect that these attacks were diversionary, and when he learned of the movement of Union troops towards Sudley Springs, he immediately moved his men to Matthew's Hill, where he soon received reinforcements, and these men succeeded in delaying the Union army from crossing Bull Run.
Eventually, the Confederates were forced to retreat from Matthew's Hill, having suffered a surprise attack from the flank by Tyler's men. However, McDowell failed to press home his advantage, and instead of commanding his forces to take conceded ground, he instead ordered artillery bombardment of the enemy locations. This delay allowed the confederate forces to reassemble.
Final Phase
The Confederates also brought their artillery weapons into the battle, and the next phase was a straight fight between the heavy guns of both sides. Confederate guns were better suited to the conditions, and eventually the Confederate action was successful and the Union guns were taken.
This was the end for the Union forces. By 4 pm, McDowell had ordered his forces to withdraw. The withdrawal soon descended into chaos and panic, as the retreating soldiers were bombarded by Confederate artillery.
Casualties on both sides were significant. 847 men were killed, and 2706 were wounded. A further 1,325 soldiers, mainly from the Union army, were captured or missing in action.

John Grim on Standing Rock: 'This is Not
Only About Water, It's All About Water'
In recent days, the conflict has escalated over construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. John Grim, a senior lecturer and research scholar at F&ES and an expert in Native American religions, discusses the historical, cultural, and spiritual significance of the Standing Rock demonstrations for Native people.
By Timothy Brown
Sacred Stone Camp Facebook Page
Since last April, members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies — who collectively call themselves "water protectors" — have been camped on the windswept prairie of North Dakota in an effort to block construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) across the Missouri River some 40 miles south of Bismarck.
Standing with Standing Rock
Earlier this month, F&ES students organized a public conversation about DAPL and drafted a Statement of Support for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. This statement, signed by over 300 concerned students, alumni, faculty, and staff, was delivered to the Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II last Thursday. Students continue to organize, fundraise, and travel to North Dakota to protest the pipeline's construction, which, if completed, has huge implications for climate change and other environmental issues.
In two op-eds, F&ES masters students Sarah Lakshmi Sax '17 M.E.Sc., and Christina Stone '17 M.E.M. offer unique perspectives on the Dakota Access Pipeline. Sax discusses the climate change implications of the pipeline, and Stone, a native of North Dakota, describes her personal and conflicting emotions about the pipeline.
But in recent days, the conflict over DAPL has escalated. There are reports of rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons being used against the demonstrators, and last Friday, North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple issued an executive order calling for the mandatory evacuation of the Oceti Sakowin camp. Native activists have responded that they have no intention of leaving the camps, except on their own terms. Indeed, this week a group of 2,000 military veterans announced they're traveling to Standing Rock this coming weekend to serve as human shields for the water protectors.
Construction of the nearly $3.7 billion, 1,172-mile pipeline, which would transport oil from the Bakken shale in northwestern North Dakota to distribution centers in southern Illinois, is nearly complete. But organizers are hoping that their actions will convince the government to block the pipeline from crossing the Missouri River, the primary drinking water source for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Protests against the pipeline's construction have occurred at several points, especially where the pipeline crosses rivers in Iowa and Illinois. But none has garnered as much support and attention as Standing Rock.
Standing Rock is the largest Native gathering in the U.S. since the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. Hundreds of American Indian tribes and indigenous allies from as far away as Scandinavia and New Zealand have come to support the water protectors. And despite the current sub-zero temperatures and blizzard-like conditions, activists say there are still upwards of 5000 people at the camps.
John Grim
For greater cultural and historical context of the water protections at Standing Rock, we sat down with John Grim, senior lecturer and senior research scholar at F&ES. Grim, a native of North Dakota, is an expert in indigenous religions and culture. He has written and lectured extensively on indigenous religions, and has been adopted into a Crow family and participated in many Crow ceremonies. Grim, along with his wife, Mary Evelyn Tucker, coordinates the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology. He is the author of "The Shaman: Patterns of Religious Healing Among the Ojibway Indians" (University of Oklahoma Press, 1983), and series editor of "World Religions and Ecology," from Harvard Divinity School's Center for the Study of World Religions. In that series he edited "Indigenous Traditions and Ecology: The Interbeing of Cosmology and Community" (Harvard, 2001).
This interview was edited for length and clarity.
I've read that up to 300 American Indian tribes — and the Sami in Scandinavia and Maori from New Zealand — have come to North Dakota in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. How significant is this action for indigenous people?
JOHN GRIM: It's important for me to say that no one speaks for Hunkpapa people. They are capable of presenting themselves. There are people out there from the community who are speaking about these issues and who realize how important it is to bring this information out and to let people know what they're doing and why they're doing it.
This action has called across Indian country and has brought up participants from so many different peoples to stand in solidarity. We know that kind of pan-Indian movement from the powwow highway and the Native American Church, but this is at a scale that's remarkable.
I think part of what this is about is an education for the larger American public. [The Hunkpapa] have been interacting with the dominant U.S. government for 150 years. They know the stakes are loaded against them. They've won a few, but lost more than they've won. And they're still willing to stand up in this regard.
What is the role of religion for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe?
GRIM: For the Hunkpapa, the use of the word "religion" here is really problematic. I find the word "lifeway" much more helpful. Lifeways are the values that pervade the way they interact with the world, with one another. I think that we, namely dominant America, are not entirely out of that interpretive schema either. Our values pervade the way we are interacting with Hunkpapa people now. The Lakota concept is to stand in reciprocity, to deal with the need to bring to bear one's values on the world. Among the Lakota, there's this phrase: Mitakuye oyasin. When you enter into a ceremony, especially a sweat lodge, it's entirely appropriate for a Lakota person to say Mitakuye oyasin, as if to say, "Everything I have experienced in this ceremonial moment is in relationship to all my relatives." This is not a scientific ecology; Mary Evelyn Tucker and I tend to use this phrase "religious ecology" to try and get at what's going on when people have a sense of humans embedded in a world in which they stand in relationship to this world in a certain way.
It's really interesting to think about what is culture in relation to values — they're one and the same. That's what I'm trying to get at with "lifeway," the idea that this is not simply an environmental resistance movement.
You've spoken about a Doctrine of Discovery. Describe that term and what it has meant for Native peoples?
GRIM: These Lakota people experienced during the mid-nineteenth century the full brunt of the then-developed United States of America. The experience of the Lakota and of all Native people was of a state moving across this continent strongly influenced by a Doctrine of Discovery that had been formulated in the European nations in conjunction with Christianity. The whole idea of the Doctrine of Discovery is that religious ideas are embedded in domination, and the deeper argument for domination is based on the Christian sense of subjugation to conversion. The Doctrine of Discovery ignored the religion and culture of indigenous peoples of the Americas. It thus provided the justification to subjugate others if you convert them because Christianity provides the path to heaven. You're actually saving people who otherwise would be lost and you're doing them a huge salvific favor by Christianizing. And of course, they become members of the state by being baptized. In this country we moved to separate church and state, but those values are totally embedded when we talk about eminent domain. We've shifted the Christian ethos of baptism into citizenship in the marketplace of ideas that's the United States of America.
What does a sacred site mean coming from the Native perspective, and what's really at risk of being damaged with this pipeline?
GRIM: I think sacred sites are just so amazingly different among Native peoples. There are sites there that are understood to be spiritual presences where people don't go, and there are other places that people go in order to communicate with those spiritual beings. And there may be occasions where they overlap, or they flip. I think this is where the people themselves, their understanding, is crucial. And we need to respect that understanding.
I've seen photographs of water protectors on horseback or wearing feathers in their hair. Why are these traditional symbols important to the Lakota?
GRIM: That type of background question is very helpful because perceptions of Native peoples are largely by virtue of acting in a grade school Thanksgiving play, or a Hollywood movie that generally situates Native people in the period of the Indian Wars of the 1860s-70s. The image is really crucial and complex and historically fraught. But this image issue also works against Native people in the sense that if they show signs of adapting to cars, watches, iPads, going to Yale Law School, then they have, by that very action, left behind their so-called tradition. The DAPL action, by using the word "protector," is affirming traditional values of these Lakota people who call themselves Hunkpapa.
People who come to the Sacred Stone Camp are given nonviolence training. Even the use of that word casts it in a Gandhian, or at least contemporary, resistance. This nonviolent training has to be anchored into Lakota traditional values. These Hunkpapa people have a profound cultural history in which they have thought about themselves in relationship to where they've lived for thousands of years and they have come up with an intricate and complex set of stories, set of values, set of ways of acting in the world that they find successful and communicates not only who they are as people, but a way of life that nurtures them and the life community… I think that's also what we're seeing with all the feathers, headdresses — the efforts to foreground what we call "culture."
I can hear people saying, "These people are standing in the way of progress. They're frozen in history; they don't understand what the world is about." My response is that I think they understand the world better than dominant America does. We can't live without water; we can't survive. And so this action in support of water is all the more important. It's what this School is about.
For somebody who's unfamiliar with treaty rights, how important are these treaties for the Lakota?
GRIM: The U.S. Constitution mentions Indians and gives to the United States government the right to negotiate with these foreign nations. We inherited from the British and the French a process of interacting with Native nations as nations. Those treaties are not all the same. Some treaty makers were quite savvy and some were not. The Great Sioux Reservation included the Black Hills. Gold was discovered there in 1875 and in rushed illegal gold prospectors. The military came in to protect the miners, and with a larger agenda of, again, domination. The Indian Claims Commission, in an effort "to do right" concerning all broken treaties, determined that the Black Hills were illegally taken and offered $15 million in compensation, but the Lakota refused the money, which has been held in escrow and is now worth over a billion dollars. This is their Holy Land. What we did is alienate these people from their Vatican and carved Mount Rushmore in the midst of their Holy Land.
The Lakota word for white person is wasi'chu — (which means) fat-takers; they take the best parts and they want everything.
I recently read quote by a Hunkpapa person who said, "They've been waiting since Custer to do this." What do you think he meant by this statement?
GRIM: Someone who was not sympathetic would say it's paranoia. But I don't think it's paranoia; I think it's a real assessment. If you think about 1887 — all the bison are killed. There are remnant herds in Canada and individual animals were brought to the U.S. and that's the basis of the herds here today.There are Northern Plains people — Crow, Blackfeet, that used these buffalo. We now know that documents show very clearly that the military encouraged and actively assisted in the aimless, pointless, and wasteful killing of buffalo. So that sense of "out to get us" can be traced back very early. In 1887, the Dawes Act allotted 160 acres to every man, woman, and child on the Indian reservation. And when that land was allotted, all the so-called "extraneous land" was then open for non-Native settlement. So, no "prior and informed consent" by Native people at all. They knew about it, but what voice did they have in the United States Congress?
There was the Dawes Act, and the forced removal of Native people from the eastern U.S., and boarding schools where children were taken away from their families to be educated out of their languages, out of their cultural identity. In the 1950s, there was an effort by the Truman administration and the first Eisenhower administration to terminate all treaties. Treaty-making ended in the 1870s by a formal act of Congress, but the 1950s termination policy was an effort by the United States to get out from under — that's how the metaphors were put — the burden of these wards of the state; to cut off any kind of promised payment that many people had never received. These ongoing activities are behind the statement: "They're out to get us." It's not as if it was just one thing.
How do treaty violations play into the legal argument that the Tribe has to fight the pipeline?
GRIM: The pipeline itself is not on the reservation but the fact that the pipeline would go under the Missouri River is what is threatening to the water on the reservation should there be any leaks. Many scientists have expressed concerns about leaks that have occurred across the country.So the threat that is perceived to the water and that these individuals are standing up to protect is embedded in the treaty right that Native people have to foster life and sustain life on the reservation. And outsiders, or the United States government, shall not take activities that endanger their lives. So in the treaties are written these stipulations that Native nations, like the Pueblos in the Southwest, have used to successfully sue cities, like Albuquerque, about water quality for rivers that flow through Albuquerque and then onto the reservation.
In essence, Standing Rock is really about a lot more than protecting water.
GRIM: I find an interesting way to get at it is, "This is not only about water; it's all about water." We're in this incredible contradictory episode where, when you talk about water, well that's romantic imaging, or it's religion, or it's a symbol; and it's also about reality, pragmatic reality. It's not only about water; it's about a whole range of issues. But it's about water.

Over the past couple of months I've been emailing with a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz who was interested in running PCR identification on the two Brettanomyces strains (CMY001 and BSI-Drie) along with a few others. I just received an email detailing that PCR identification sequencing had been carried out on three of the Brettanomyces spp. used in this study and another that I have since acquired. It was determined that both the CMY001 and BSI-Drie strains are Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Wyeast 5151 is Brettanomyces anomalus. Thanks goes out to Michael Pearson for carrying out the PCR identification sequencing. The method used for identification was based on polymorphism in the rRNA Internal Transcribed Spacer Region. To read more about identifying Brettanomyces yeasts I've posted the methods used for the Identification of the "Drie" strain(s).

"Mickey Goldmill Story" Script – Project Updates
May 22, 2015 | Articles
The script for screenwriter Carl Kirshner's Mick-centric story "The Mickey Goldmill Story" (formerly titled "Angel On My Shoulder") has undergone revisions and we've got to say that after reading it, we love the story.
Written by award-winning screenwriter and producer Carl Kirshner, "The Mickey Goldmill Story" puts the focus on Burgess Meredith's beloved character as we follow his story as an orphaned turn of the century immigrant as he fights his way through the crooked game of boxing in a effort to earn his self-respect and confront his father's killer in the ring.
What film projects have you been working on recently?
"I've been working very hard on a few movie projects that have been taking up all my time and energy. The last movie I produced and co-wrote, NIGHTMARE BOX had won 15 awards in genre festivals around the world including best screenplay (and is due for worldwide release soon,) which has led onto producing (amongst others) a movie that is set to go later in the year, a horror anthology called THE GATHERING – which has actually been labeled by Variety as 'The Expendables' of horror. It is going to star Simon Pegg and a host of the top names in horror, old and new, so I have been insanely busy with that and another thriller called DARK HEART starring Brian Cox that is set to shoot in Canada later in the year. Also I am producing a movie about the life of ED WOOD called THE FINAL CURTAIN which will be directed by my longtime producer, horror director Jon Keeyes and starring Udo Kier which is the sequel of a kind to Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's Oscar-winning movie."
What's the latest with the "Mickey" script?
"My passion for this project is still very strong," Kirshner says, "and in light of CREED getting the green-light and seeing how the fans and the industry have reacted to a ROCKY character spin-off so positively, I am as optimistic as ever that this project has real legs and I have received an incredible amount of support from fans who WANT this movie made. Once again this year, alongside CREED, we will see another studio boxing movie with SOUTHPAW that goes to show the interest in this genre is still very strong. I have approached A-list name talent who have showed real interest in MICKEY but it probably won't go any further until the powers to be at MGM, Chartoff/Winkler or even Sly himself get behind this and get the ball moving. I am an independent producer and this will take studio backing."
Back in April, 2015, we reported that "The Mickey Goldmill Story" script had caught the attention of John Avildsen, director of Sylvester Stallone's original Rocky and Rocky V. Avildsen praised Kirshner's story and asked to be kept in the loop as the project moves forward.
"Everyone who has read the script has said it's one of the best boxing/drama scripts they have ever read," Kirshner reports. "I am very proud that even Sly said it was a great idea and John Avildsen loves the project. We just have to get the community behind us and make more ROCKY history. Mickey deserves this and I feel that the time is right to let the fans and industry figures that will be reading this to let them download the script and see what a great movie this will make."
Recently reworked to enhance the existing romance between Mickey and his girl, the story is now much more in line with the spirit of the "Rocky" movie series. The script is rated PG-13 and is suitable for most readers. If there is anyone who reads it who feels they can help move the project forward in the right direction, please contact Carl Kirshner.

Q: Combining multiple arithmetic operations with regex on columns with Awk I need to learn how to combine multiple arithmetic tasks and repeat them for every line of a table, as Awk does. My goal is to count characters of a certain kind in multiple columns, then add/subtract/multiply the values from selected columns (to my liking, which ones), and finally print the original table with an extra column containing the desired results in a coma-separated format. The operations involve counting occurrences of specific characters in the fields. What would be useful for that is a way to store values at every step (line) before printing them.
A toy example:
AGCTAGCT AAAACCCC
AATTAATT AAAAAAAA

let's make $3, containing A count (#A) in $1, #T in $1, #G in $1, #C in $1
and $4 containing the sum in the number f occurrences of each character in both fields, so #A in $1 + #A in $2 and so on ( I know you can treat it as one field for summation, but it does not work other arithmetic operations, so I would like to separate it this way ).
The expected resut therefore is:
AGCTAGCT AAAACCCC 2,2,2,2 6,2,2,6
AATTAATT AAAAAAAA 4,4,0,0 12,4,0,0

I managed to do the counting using gsub and regex:
cat count.txt | awk -F ' ' 'BEGIN {OFS == "\t"} {print $1, $2, gsub(/A/, "", $1)"," gsub(/T/, "", $1) "," gsub(/G/, "", $1) "," gsub(/C/, "", $1),  gsub(/A/, "", $2) "," gsub(/T/, "", $2) "," gsub(/G/, "", $2) "," gsub(/C/, "", $2)}'

AGCTAGCT AAAACCCC 2,2,2,2 4,0,0,4
AATTAATT AAAAAAAA 4,4,0,0 8,0,0,0

However, the summation is not working as expected, as it gives the same result:
cat count.txt | awk -F ' ' 'BEGIN {OFS == "\t"} {print $1, $2, gsub(/A/, "", $1)"," gsub(/T/,
"", $1) "," gsub(/G/, "", $1) "," gsub(/C/, "", $1), gsub(/A/, "", $1) + gsub(/A/, "", $2) "," gsub(/T/, "", $1) + gsub(/T/, "", $2) "," gsub(/G/, "", $1) + gsub(/G/, "", $2) "," gsub(/C/, "", $1) + gsub(/C/, "", $2)}'

AGCTAGCT AAAACCCC 2,2,2,2 4,0,0,4
AATTAATT AAAAAAAA 4,4,0,0 8,0,0,0

What is wrong here, and would you have some suggestions on how to do it in a more professional way?
I also tried (this time without summation):
cat count.txt | awk -F ' ' 'BEGIN {OFS == "\t"} {NR==FNR; gsub(/A/, "", $1); gsub(/A/, "", $2)} {print a, b, length($1), length($2)}'
  6 4
  4 0

but I don't know how to do it for multiple operations on the same field (I would need to store the values for each count/summation/etc. before print).
Thanks in advance for looking into this!

A: something like this
$ awk 'BEGIN{s=","}
       function count(d)
          {for(i=1;i<=length(d);i++) c[substr(d,i,1)]++;
           return c["A"]+0 s c["T"]+0 s c["G"]+0 s c["C"]+0}

          {delete c; print $0, count($1), count($2)}' file

AGCTAGCT AAAACCCC 2,2,2,2 6,2,2,6
AATTAATT AAAAAAAA 4,4,0,0 12,4,0,0

A: Your first call to every gsub() is removing the character you want to count again on your 2nd call to gsub() for the same character. Instead of gsub(/A/, "", $1) you should be using gsub(/A/, "&", $1).
Assuming your characters are never regexp metachars:
$ cat tst.awk
{ print $0, count(1), count() }

function count(fldNr,   numChars,chars,charNr,ret) {
    numChars = split("A T G C",chars)
    for (charNr=1; charNr<=numChars; charNr++) {
        ret = ( ret=="" ? "" : ret "," ) gsub(chars[charNr],"&",$fldNr)
    }
    return ret
}

$ awk -f tst.awk file
AGCTAGCT AAAACCCC 2,2,2,2 6,2,2,6
AATTAATT AAAAAAAA 4,4,0,0 12,4,0,0

A: gsub actually changes the string and does the substitutions and returns the count of substitutions that were made. So the second time gsub is executed on the same string, the substitutions were made, so the is nothing to substitute more.
Use a temporary variable. tmp = $1; gsub(/A/,"",tmp). Or you could substitute the character by itself gsub(/A/, "A", $1).

Elephant Butte Lake At Record Low Levels
From KOB-TV:
As the drought continues in New Mexico, water levels at Elephant Butte Lake State Park are also dropping.
According to the Bureau of Reclamation, the lake is less than 11% full. That's about 190,000 acre feet.
While that doesn't sound like a lot, it was enough for Adrian Ortiz and his pup.
"As long as we're able to have boats and everything else out here, it's still good enough to come out and have fun with the family," said Adrian Ortiz, an Albuquerque resident.
Despite the drought, nearby businesses said they're not seeing a lull in traffic.
"We have 20 rental craft and people take them out to, you know, three hours or sometimes all day. We'll probably do 40 to 50 rentals today," said Neal Brown, president of Lago Rico.

Drink and be merry, lads; and think it over.

And the life we've just begun.
May none of them need an attorney-at-law.
Loved me and my folks as much as thee and thy folks.
Here's to the Bride and the Groom!
And live without all strife.
Or the feathers that make up their bed!
And here's to the bride with groom so rare!
May they remain lovers for life.
and may that one other be me.
Let us toast every guest in the room.
And on this couple drop a blessed crown.
And keep her husband always her lover.

Northampton 1460 is a quick playable 'historical narrative' game giving the players control of the options available to the commanders on July 10th 1460 ... It was up and running within the first half an hour and ran more-or-less continuously throughout the show.
There were few ancient games (Dark Age and Medieval being the preference within the Society's remit) but an excellent Hastings game by Like a Stonewall was an eye-catching neighbour to us.
... a vast panorama of a wargame, I particularly liked the clever use of velcro boards and the whimsical inclusion of a group of needlecrafters recording the events in their now time-honoured medium. Great effort.
The rules used were a less well-known set called Lionheart - again a refreshing choice.
So a big thank you to the organisers and all of you who stopped by for a chat or played the game, flipped through the poetry.
The event is now in the Exhibition Ground and features an extensive History area in the centre ... you'll find us there, sharing space and personnel with The Battlefields Trust, The Northampton Battlefields Society, The lance & Longbow Society, Naseby Battlefield Project etc. etc.
And I think it is right that in that environment wargamers have somewhere to go where they can assume that the history is important - that the history is part of the core purpose of the activity.
Here's some eye candy from the show if you are still with me.
The game is played with blocks on a board contoured from the OS map ... cards allow a historical range of options and timings but permit a wide range of plausible outcomes.
Too many 28mm skirmish games, maybe ... too commercialised, maybe - but I still have a soft spot for the Partizan shows and I like their initiatives with the History Zone and Participation Games.
Thanks to the organisers and thanks to the many fellow enthusiasts who stopped by - your support is really appreciated.
After Partizan, we went up to St Helens for Phalanx - then in July, our main events were the Battle of Northampton anniversary and the Conference of Wargamers.
The game for the show was Martin Charlesworth's Dirty DBA challenge ... a stripped down, anyone can play version of the iconic Barker game - ideal for beginners and veterans alike (as long as nobody tries too hard). This was its usual success and recruited another little group of newcomers into ancients.
This year was particularly important as the event began with a special President's Award, presented by veteran pollster and broadcaster Sir Robert Worcester on behalf of the Battlefields Trust to Mike Ingram and the Northampton Battlefields Society for our outstanding work on battlefield preservation and interpretation.

Projected, Featuring Sevendust, Alter Bridge + Tremonti Members, Reveal New Album Details
Chad Bowar
Chad Bowar Published: May 25, 2017
Five years after their debut, the supergroup Projected return with their sophomore album Ignite My Insanity, which will be released July 21 via Rat Pak Records. The band's lineup includes Sevendust guitarist John Connolly and bassist Vince Hornsby, Alter Bridge / Creed drummer Scott Phillips and Tremonti guitarist Eric Friedman. Check out a teaser video above.
Connolly says, "There are four very strong personalities in this band. Everyone has been in the business doing various things, from Alter Bridge to Creed to Sevendust to Tremonti and it took all those elements and sounds to make this album what it is!"
Phillips adds, "We're all part of other bands that we've put our heart and soul and life into and this was just a chance to extend that into somewhat of a different direction."
Friedman comments, "When I think Projected, the first words that come to my mind is a very raw and honest band. Things aren't overthought. It's very organic."
Hornsby states, "We've been playing so long together, you know it's kinda' like a marriage to a certain degree, it really warms my heart to be able to play with my friends and these great musicians."
Ignite My Insanity is a double album featuring 21 tracks, two of which were co-written by Mark Tremonti and one co-written by Sevendust's Morgan Rose. Take a look at the cover art and track listing below. It's available for pre-order at this location.

Ubuntu to include enterprise Java
Tags: #apache #java
Companies: #canonical #open-source #sun #ubuntu
Linux fans will be pleased at news coming out of OSCON that the popular Ubuntu distribution is to get a fully-fledged Java Enterprise Edition framework built-in.
According to comments made by the Canonical's server engineering manager Rick Clark and reported by The Register today, the company is hoping to provide a full Java EE framework in the 9.04 release of the software due in April 2009. While Apache Tomcat is due for inclusion in the 8.10 release due in October, and provides users with a Java serverlet container, Clark has stated that the company considers it "very important [...] to get a full Java stack out of the box."
Although Canonical is keeping shtum on exactly which framework it's likely to pick, The Register predicts that Sun's GlassFish 3.0 is a leading contender. It certainly ticks all the boxes, and the company already distributes the Sun-owned open-source database package MySQL with its server-oriented distribution. GlassFish is also lightweight and easy to maintain compared to some other Java EE implementations like Apache's Geronimo, with an average install needing just 40 .jar packages compared to the 280 required by Geronimo.
The beauty of Linux is its customisability and modularity, of course, and there's nothing to stop users manually adding a Java EE framework to their Ubuntu install right now – but corporate users like to see that a single product offers them everything they need, with guaranteed compatibility and full support if things go pear-shaped. With this in mind, it's clear to see that if Canonical select the right Java EE platform, we could see enterprise use of Ubuntu skyrocket.
While you're waiting for the 9.04 release to see what platform made it into the distribution, you'll have to settle for a manual install of your favourite Java stack.
Any enterprise users here hoping for a stable, open-source operating system with a full Sun-approved Java stack, or do you all use WebLogic or WebSphere? Share your thoughts over in the forums.

The Queen opened a new session of Parliament this morning and - as expected - Home Secretary Theresa May's Communications Data bill was absent from the government's upcoming programme of law-making for the next year.
However, as indicated by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg - who said late last month that the so-called Snoopers' Charter wouldn't happen under his watch - provisions are to be put in place to aid spooks and police in accessing information they need to supposedly protect the British public.
The police say a clearer picture would be a huge help in their investigations and we should explore how that can be done.
Clegg recently said he was effectively killing May's proposed bill, which would have massively increased surveillance of Brits' internet activity, because he did not consider it to be proportionate or workable as it stood.

Todays piece is for Alison aka Craftytrog theme 'Geometric shapes' over on AJJ this month.
January appears to be flying by and as I seem to be running short of time at present, my page is a mix of a real and digital artwork.
In my first post of the year I said I was hoping to be more organised - its taking time but I'm getting there. Having completed the main cards, I've been busy finishing off making the special occasion cards for the year and just have another two I am working on for October and then that job should be complete.
I have an A4 folder with plastic wallets for each months birthdays and my cards will go in there ready for this year. Here are just a few of the cards I have been making.
Hope you're having a good start to the year.
for any comments which is always appreciated.
A pretty page dear Gill - accompanied by a super quote. I am always pleased to see your mix of handmade and digital art! Thank you very much for joining the January theme at Art Journal Journey with this beautiful page! And wow - you are super organised with even a folder for each month! Such pretty cards! The recipients will be super happy!
Take all time you need to get organised - it helps the soul!
I am a bit too lazy for much organisation - I like to take things as they come -lol.
Your geometric AJJ piece is lovely with pretty colours and I like these friendly, happy flowers. The words are great too and very reassuring.
Your cards! Simple? - not. Imagine making them so far ahead, that is serious organisation and planning. All are terrific, my favourites are the second, fourth and - guess what - the teddies of course, such a sweet couples picture.
Its a fabulous page Gill, I love how you designed it and the super quote.
You are really well organised getting your cards made for this years Birthdays. I'm nearly always a few days before i get mine made.
A wonderful journal page - the mix was clearly successful.
Lovely to see the variety of pretty cards you made - you are super organised! I know if that was me, when I took out the card I'd prepared earlier, I'd decide it wasn't quite what I wanted and make another, but you're obviously more decisive and determined than I am, lol - doesn't take much.
I know the feeling with time Gill it only takes on problem to put a spanner in the works for everything to follow. You've managed to create a super journal spread, love the idea of windowing each piece of artwork each a mini masterpiece in design. Well done on creating those cards too and a great idea to keep them in a folder, if I make in advance for my own use I always seem to mislay them!!
A great selection of cards Gill, which reminds me, it's my Dad's 80th in just over a week!
You created a fab page for my Geometric theme at AJJ, thanks for joining in. Great colours, and I love the quote!
A weeny bit of snow here, thank goodness! I'm scared of slipping when it turns slushy, and I hate it when I can't get out.
Your beautiful page is so perfekt for our theme. A wonderful idea to fill a grid with your nice motifs. Your cards look all so very nice too.
Hello and hugs to you Gill! You always find the best quotes that really have a way of resonating with me. Your cards are gorgeous! I recognize the work and time you put in to create them. I'm sure the fortunate recipients will love and cherish them.
Lovely cards, it's always good to work ahead.
Yes, January appears to be flying by! You have created a wonderful happy page with your painting and digital artwork together!
What a good idea to an A4 folder with plastic wallets for each months birthdays to collect your beautiful cards ready for this year!
Terrific ideas on your page with beautiful artwork.
I apologize for being so late visiting, but I'm playing catch-up right now. I adore your beautiful journal entry. Those are definitely lovely geometric shapes. The background is colorful and happy, and the flowers are so adorable and romantic. I want your secret as to how you got those rectangles so evenly spaced. This is a beauty. So glad you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey.
You may think those are simple cards, but I call them elegant. Beautiful and the reason I don't make cards.

Many non-profit organizations are established to meet social, educational, health, or social welfare needs, among others, that are not being presently met by the public or private sectors. An individual or a group of people will get together to establish and implement the needed services. Often their commitment is based on their passion and they want very much to meet the pressing needs they have identified. In many cases, the establishment of a non-profit is tied to the actual needs of the founders and their families.
People who deal with issues in their personal lives are closest to the challenges they are experiencing and many times they have been frustrated by the lack of responsiveness of the existing constellation of services. They may have grown tired of fighting the "system", whichever system it may be, for the services they need, and so they decide to initiate services to meet their needs and the needs of other people who are dealing with the same issues. The services they develop may range from children with special needs to frail elderly parents who are suffering from dementia.
Often the pressing needs thrust these motivated and dedicated people to quickly form the non-profit agency and immediately develop the needed services. Although they fulfill all the legal requirements for setting up and organizing a registered non-profit organization they frequently skip over some of the basic steps in creating a voluntary agency. The main reason they have invested in creating alternate or additional services is to provide what is glaringly absent in their understanding of the needs. Thus, they organize the provision of services first and assume the organizational foundation for the non-profit organization will develop in "due time".
Unfortunately, they wind up skipping some very important steps. They create a "board of directors" to meet the legal requirements, however, much of the time they do not focus on the important functions of the board. For example, they do not work with the board in an ongoing way to develop the budget, establish policy, develop a strategy for financial sustainability, and other key functions. The board is viewed in a more informal way and may often be composed of close friends, colleagues, and others who understand the founder's passion and commitment.
The board of directors should be formed and developed prior to the implementation of services. Policies should be clearly defined and guidelines should be set for the fiscal management of the organization. Although this may seem overly bureaucratic and the passionate founders may view this as slowing down the implementation of services, a more structured approach often protects those who are most committed to the programs.
Once a working board of directors is functioning then a finance committee can plan for the fiscal operation and set the budget. A program committee can oversee the development of a sound and full educational program. When there is a need for raising additional funds a standing resource development committee can work along with the other committees of the board and the annual fundraising campaign to insure there are adequate funds to hire adequate staff to implement the programs.
The "founders" who may also be those working on the ground need to have the backing and support of an operative and active board of directors. It is rare that the board can be created and developed once the program is functioning. The correct process has to be put in place and a meaningful experience has to be created for the volunteers who will be serving on the board of directors. They plan for the provision of the needed services through their initial and continuing involvement.
In order for the people who have been responsive to emerging need(s) and have been creative in developing new approaches to service delivery to protect their "investment" and themselves from burn-out they need to work in a more structured fashion. They need to focus on the development of the board of directors and the appropriate committees. The horse needs to be placed before the cart and a clear organizational structure has to be put in place before the doors open to those in need. The more structured approach is not difficult to implement and will ultimately enhance the agency's provision of services and foster the founders' commitment to the organization and its programs.
