Chaenorhinum (DC.) Rchb., 1828 è un genere di piante erbacee o arbustive della famiglia delle Plantaginaceae. In alcuni Autori la grafia del genere è Chaenorrhinum.

Etimologia
Il nome del genere deriva da alcune parole greche il cui significato è "con naso aperto", infatti "chaeno" = aperto, spalancato e "rhin" = naso e fa riferimento alla particolare forma della corolla di queste piante definita anche "personata".

Il nome scientifico del genere è stato definito inizialmente dal botanico e micologo svizzero Augustin Pyrame de Candolle (Ginevra, 4 febbraio 1778 – Ginevra, 9 settembre 1841), perfezionato successivamente dal botanico, ornitologo e illustratore tedesco Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach (8 gennaio 1793 – 17 marzo 1879) nella pubblicazione "Conspectus Regni Vegetabilis per gradus naturales evoluti. Lipsiae - 123" del 1828.

Descrizione

Il portamento delle specie di questo genere può essere erbaceo (annuale o perenne) o suffrutescente. Le piante possono essere sia glabre che pubescenti-ghiandolose.

Radici
Le radici in genere sono del tipo a fittone.

Fusto
La parte aerea del fusto è eretta, ascendente e, in alcune specie, ramosa fin dalla base.

Foglie
Le foglie inferiori lungo il caule sono disposte in modo opposto (alternato sopra); possono essere sia sessili che picciolate. La lamina è gradualmente attenuata nel picciolo ed ha delle forme da lanceolate-lineari a ovoidi; raramente la forma può essere oblanceolata. I bordi sono interi e l'apice è smussato. A volte le foglie inferiori possono formare delle pseudo-rosette.

Infiorescenza
Le infiorescenze sono formate da fiori solitari su sottili peduncoli posizionati all'ascella delle foglie superiori.

Fiore
 I fiori sono ermafroditi, zigomorfi e tetraciclici (ossia formati da 4 verticilli: calice– corolla – androceo – gineceo) e tetrameri (i verticilli del perianzio hanno 4 elementi).
 Formula fiorale. Per la famiglia di queste piante viene indicata la seguente formula fiorale:
X o * K (4-5), [C (4) o (2+3), A 2+2 o 2], G (2), capsula.

 Il calice, tuboloso-campanulato, più o meno attinomorfo e gamosepalo, è diviso sino alla base in 5 lacinie con forme lineari-spatolate. In genere il calice è più grande del frutto.
 La corolla, gamopetala e tubolare del tipo bilabiato con lobi patenti, è rigonfia nella parte basale. Il labbro superiore è verticale e bilobato; quello inferiore è trilobato. Un rigonfiamento (sperone) è presente all'altezza delle fauci della gola della corolla in posizione abassiale; la forma è più o meno da cilindrica a conica con lunghezze fino a 5 volte il diametro. Il palato non è occluso. Il colore della corolla è bianco, rosa o blu-lillaceo; normalmente il palato è giallo.
 L'androceo è formato da 4 stami didinami tutti fertili. I filamenti sono adnati alla base della corolla e sono inclusi o poco sporgenti. Le antere sono formate da due teche distinte e divaricate; la deiscenza è longitudinale attraverso due fessure. I granuli pollinici sono tricolpoporati.
 Il gineceo è bicarpellare (sincarpico - formato dall'unione di due carpelli connati). L'ovario è supero con placentazione assile e forme da ovoidi o globose a suborbicolari. Gli ovuli per loculo sono numerosi, hanno un solo tegumento e sono tenuinucellati (con la nocella, stadio primordiale dell'ovulo, ridotta a poche cellule).. Lo stilo ha uno stigma da capitato a fortemente bilobo. Il disco nettarifero è distinto e presente.

Frutti
Il frutto è una capsula con pareti regolarmente bollose. All'interno i semi sono numerosi, con forme ovali e con la testa alveolata raramente reticolata (normalmente non sono presenti creste longitudinali). Al momento della maturazione i semi fuoriescono da due fori che si aprono nella parte superiore del frutto (capsula porocida).

Riproduzione
 Impollinazione: l'impollinazione avviene tramite insetti (impollinazione entomogama) quali imenotteri, lepidotteri o ditteri o il vento (impollinazione anemogama).
 Riproduzione: la fecondazione avviene fondamentalmente tramite l'impollinazione dei fiori (vedi sopra).
 Dispersione: i semi cadendo (dopo aver eventualmente percorso alcuni metri a causa del vento - dispersione anemocora) a terra sono dispersi soprattutto da insetti tipo formiche (disseminazione mirmecoria).

Distribuzione e habitat
La distribuzione di queste specie è relativa soprattutto al Mediterraneo (Europa sud-occidentale, Grecia, Anatolia, Asia mediterranea e Magreb) con un areale che si estende fino all'Iran e Afghanistan.

Tutte le specie di Chaenorhinum presente sul territorio italiano si trovano anche sulle Alpi. La tabella seguente mette in evidenza alcuni dati relativi all'habitat, al substrato e alla distribuzione delle specie alpine.

Tassonomia
La famiglia di appartenenza di questo genere (Plantaginaceae) comprende 113 generi con 1800 specie (oppure secondo altri Autori 114 generi e 2400 specie, o anche 117 generi e 1904 specie o 90 generi e 1900 specie) ed è suddivisa in tre sottofamiglie e oltre una dozzina di tribù. Il genere di questa voce appartiene alla sottofamiglia Antirrhinoideae (tribù Antirrhineae) e si compone di una ventina di specie.

Il numero cromosomico delle specie del genere è: 2n = 14 e 42.

Filogenesi
Il genere Chaenorhinum fino a poco tempo fa era circoscritto nella famiglia Veronicaceae o Scrophulariaceae a seconda dei vari Autori. L'attuale posizione tassonomica è stata realizzata con i nuovi sistemi di classificazione filogenetica (classificazione APG).

All'interno della tribù Antirrhineae il genere di questa voce appartiene al gruppo Chaenorhinum composto dai seguenti generi: Chaenorhinum, Albraunia Speta, 1983 e Holzneria Speta, 1982 con distribuzione nel Vecchio Mondo. Questo gruppo, la cui posizione da un punto di vista filogenetico è abbastanza vicina al "core" della tribù (dalle analisi di tipo cladistico del DNA delle varie specie risulta "gruppo fratello" del gruppo Anthirrhinum), è caratterizzata di seguenti numeri cromosomici: 2n = 14 - 42.

All'interno del genere, ultimamente (2016), sono stati individuati due cladi più o meno corrispondenti alle due sezioni tradizionalmente descritte: Albraunia e Holzneria.

The Three Bells
Formed in Liverpool England, in 1960, the Three Bells consisted of twins Carol and Sue Bell and their sister Jean. "Steady Date" and "Melody Of Love" were issued on Pye Records in 1960 and 1961 respectively, but their lightweight vocal style was markedly different from the direction the group pursued upon relaunching their career in 1964. Their version of "Softly In The Night", a Carole King/Gerry Goffin song first recorded by the Cookies, showed the influence of British Beat, with a harmonica solo and tough vocal sound to match. Unusually for "girl groups", the Three Bells wrote their next single, "Someone To Love" (1965), an upbeat, soul-influenced number. In keeping with contemporaries the Breakaways, the group was also renowned for session work, backing Manfred Mann on their There's No Living Without Your Loving EP and enjoying a residency on ITV television's Gadzooks! It's All Happening. In 1966 they recorded "Cry No More", popularised by Ben E. King, but in 1967 the singers opted to change their name to the Satin Bells. Still pursuing a soul/pop direction, they completed a series of excellent singles, including "Baby You're So Right For Me" (1968), "I Stand Accused" (1969) and "The Power Of Love' (1970). These releases were not a success and the Satin Bells" recording career ended in 1971 with the camp/vaudeville "The Belle Telephone Song".

WestRock Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire KapStone for $35 per Share
- Transaction enhances position as a leading provider of innovative and winning solutions to customers in attractive corrugated packaging market -
- Highly accretive acquisition with significant synergy potential -
ATLANTA and NORTHBROOK, Ill., Jan. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WestRock Company (NYSE:WRK) ("WestRock") and KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation (NYSE:KS) ("KapStone") announced today the signing of a definitive agreement, pursuant to which WestRock will acquire all of the outstanding shares of KapStone for $35.00 per share and will assume approximately $1.36 billion in net debt, for a total enterprise value of approximately $4.9 billion.
Based on KapStone's annualized EBITDA performance in the second half of its fiscal 2017, WestRock estimates the EV/EBITDA multiples to be under 10 times before and 7 times after the full run rate of expected cost synergies and performance improvements. Upon closing, the acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to WestRock's adjusted earnings and cash flow, inclusive of purchase accounting adjustments.
KapStone stockholders will have the option to receive $35.00 per share in cash, or to elect to receive 0.4981 WestRock shares per KapStone share, with elections of stock consideration capped at 25% of the outstanding KapStone shares but no limit on the number of KapStone shares that can receive cash consideration. KapStone's chairman, Roger Stone, and president and chief executive officer, Matt Kaplan, have entered into voting agreements, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares in support of the transaction, subject to certain limitations.
WestRock will finance the cash consideration through the issuance of new debt under a fully committed financing package. WestRock expects to refinance existing KapStone debt assumed as part of the transaction upon closing. WestRock's expected leverage ratio at the closing of the transaction will be greater than 3.00x, and WestRock expects to return to its stated leverage ratio target of 2.25x to 2.50x by the end of fiscal 2019. The transaction is not conditional on financing.
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, KapStone is a leading North American producer and distributor of containerboard, corrugated products and specialty papers, including liner and medium containerboard, kraft papers and saturating kraft. KapStone also owns Victory Packaging, a packaging solutions distribution company with facilities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. KapStone announces preliminary, unaudited adjusted EBITDA of $130 to $135 million for its fourth quarter 2017.
"KapStone is a great fit with WestRock. Their complementary corrugated packaging and distribution operations will enhance WestRock's ability to serve customers across our system, particularly in the western United States, and the addition of their specialty kraft paper products that we do not make enhances our differentiated portfolio of paper and packaging solutions," said Steve Voorhees, chief executive officer of WestRock. "Importantly, KapStone and WestRock share the same dedication to serving customers. We look forward to welcoming the KapStone team members to WestRock and working with them to help make WestRock an even better company."
"The agreement to combine with WestRock is a testament to the tremendous company we have built and the hard work and accomplishments of the KapStone team," said Kaplan. "The transaction enables us to deliver an immediate and compelling cash premium to our shareholders. As we began to understand WestRock's principles, we realized how closely aligned our cultures are. As a result, we believe strongly that this will be beneficial to both our employees and customers."
Strategic Benefits
The transaction significantly enhances WestRock's scale and scope in the market and accelerates WestRock's ability to achieve its strategic goals and enhance its value proposition as the premier partner and provider of innovative, winning solutions to its customers:
Creates opportunity for approximately $200 million in cost synergies and performance improvements. The transaction is expected to generate annual run-rate cost synergies and performance improvements of approximately $200 million by the end of fiscal 2021 that WestRock expects will be captured through the integration of the KapStone operations into WestRock's corrugated packaging system. The categories of benefits include process and capital improvements at mill and box plant locations, converting and network optimization, procurement and administrative efficiencies. The acquisition will enable WestRock to supply additional corrugated packaging to Victory Packaging. The acquisition will accelerate WestRock's plans to improve margins in its North American corrugated packaging business.
Strengthens WestRock's presence on the West Coast. The addition of KapStone's West Coast facilities improves WestRock's ability to serve customers in this important area and reduce costs across its supply chain. In addition, this expansion opens new opportunities for WestRock to sell the full suite of its product portfolio to KapStone's current customers in this region.
Broadens WestRock's differentiated paper and packaging solutions portfolio with the addition of attractive paper grades and distribution capabilities. The addition of KapStone's complementary specialty kraft paper offerings that WestRock does not offer today enables WestRock to provide a broader product portfolio to existing customers, as well as provides new opportunities to sell WestRock's enterprise-wide offerings to KapStone's customers.
Increases mix of virgin fiber based paper in WestRock's paper portfolio. KapStone's 3 million tons of paper is made using 78% virgin fiber and 22% recovered fiber. This increases WestRock's overall mix of virgin fiber from 65% to 67%.
The transaction is subject to a number of customary closing conditions, including a vote by KapStone's stockholders, and is expected to close during the quarter ending September 30, 2018. Upon completion of the transaction, KapStone will be integrated into WestRock's Corrugated Packaging segment.
Lazard served as lead investment bank and financial advisor to WestRock in the transaction and provided its board of directors with a fairness opinion. Wells Fargo provided the committed financing for the transaction and also acted as WestRock's financial advisor. Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP acted as legal advisor to WestRock.
Rothschild & Co. and Moelis & Company LLC served as financial advisors to KapStone in the transaction. Sidley Austin acted as legal advisor to KapStone.
WestRock will host a conference call today, January 29, 2018, at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, to discuss the transaction. The conference call, which will be webcast live, an accompanying slide presentation, and this press release can be accessed at ir.westrock.com.

She is wearing a chainmail Thick-Fil-A shirt, which sharks cannot bite through. I agree on John McDill, most things we do in life are dangerous, driving etc but we have to live, traveling, working, etc are some things we have to do, going underwater and patting sharks are not. That attack happened around 12 hours after another woman had been attacked in the SAME SPOT. The beach was closed and people were told to stay out of the water and they didn't listen! Even the locals don't swim in that spot because it is a well-known feeding area of sharks.
That girl's parents should have been responsible and checked before taking her Thick-Fil-A shirt. A lot of the hooks made today who will disintegrate in a shark's mouth in a couple of days to a week I'm glad you're doing the job you're doing cause people use stainless steel hooks and they won't deteriorate for years. I think this is cool and probably truer than most things about sharks, it made me think.
Thank you for teaching me that they are not always out to hunt and to be feared as pests! Salute to your noble and yet dangerous work. I can't imagine I cam spend even an hour with a little thorn stuck in my mouth! Like, maybe they're not monsters but also maybe don't be in the middle of them on purpose?

Signs of The Undead
In vampire fiction, there are always signs that let us know a vampire is around: cloves of garlic, a coffin, crucifixes, shadows. This exhibition plays with this idea by using street signs as materials, such as perspex, light boxes, and acrylic, to depict images that suggest a vampire is nearby. The show also invites us to consider the vampire as a stand in foreigners. People that come from a different place, belong to a different era, and a different race. This is one of the reason why vampires are important, they tell us something about our fears and anxieties for strangers. This show is about signs that tell us a vampire is nearby. While looking at the vampire, as a metaphor for foreign people and far away places.
Once More, With Diversity Feeling is a (poorly performed) 'audition' for a Mexican vampire in the upcoming Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot, which was mediatised as emphasising diversity. This collection of sinister melodies vampirises the Y2K-teenage-apocalypse style of the Buffyverse to conjure post-colonial dynamics, Gothic pathos and Catholic iconography.
This work parodies the craze for 'inclusivity' of 2018, when every form of media became about showing people from many different places. The TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer was casting for a reboot at the time, and a big part of their marketing ploy was their commitment to hiring a diverse cast. The artist made fun of this by setting up a fake audition, sitting on a coffin, where he sang a set of (out of key) songs with weirdly political, and overtly emotional lyrics. The intention is to present an incredibly uncomfortable performance to a conscientious audience, who wants to laugh at the artist but is not sure if that's an appropriate reaction.
Ramirez has deep interest in the 'undead' and it is a recurrent concept in his writing, such as Unnatural Hunger: the copy, the vampire and postcolonial anxieties (2019) and The Monstrous Kiss and Its Perversions (2020). The starting point for this body of work is the idea that Bela Lugosi's character in the film of Dracula (1931) is a Gothic version of the Latin Lover—dominated in that era by the Mexican actor Ramon Novarro (Ramirez previously referenced this actor in his video Postcard eXotica, where he displaced him in a haunted set). This correlation is a natural effort to imbue Dracula with seductive qualities and is best appreciated in the act of kissing that became iconic for both Dracula and the Latin Lover. Both actors are also foreigners and while the otherness of Novarro envelops him in romance, it charges Dracula with darkness. This correlation inspired the perspex and neon works Foreignness of Evil (2019), where Ramirez traced the silhouette of Dracula in a highly reflective surface—in reference to the shadow and the mirror—to demonstrate the similarities between Bela Lugosi and Ramon Novarro's screen persona.
This motivated Ramirez to explore how the undead is a creature that embodies complex anxieties about race: the vampire is an immigrant who belongs to a different time, place, and race. In Bram Stoker's Dracula, the vampire simultaneously stands for the colonised (as a foreign, racialised figure feared by the British Empire) and the coloniser (as a monstrous entity decided to feed on England's population).
The artist made the rest of the works with a similar method, by formulating critical responses to hallmarks of the vampire as a cultural figure. In large scale sculpture Eternal Arrival (2019), Ramirez approached the coffin—one of the most ubiquitous clichés associated with this creature—as a form of media that mediates the vampire's aberrant existence. Neither dead or alive, the undead is an immigrant or settler who crosses the sacrosanct border of life (a threshold patrolled by the holiest powers of Heaven in Western thought) to claim the world of the living.
The light box portraits Old Vampires (2019) and New Vampires (2019) depict the morphological shift from beautified and Victoriana corpse as seen in Interview With The Vampire, to the plain looking youth of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. An evolution that mirrors how perceptions of monstrosity changed from representing physical characteristics to an internal state of psychosis, heralded by the advent of psychoanalysis and a greater interest in the self.
Ramirez also considered how the vampire is imagined in Mexico by creating the neon light The Infinity of The Past (2019), which rescues the image of the Mayan god Camazotz—who drinks blood— by tracing his features to create an iconic mirage. He also made a graphic triptych titled Wrestler Vs Vampire I-III (2019) inspired by the pulp typography of horror movie posters representing Mexican wrestlers fighting vampires. The resin frame Protective Sign (2019) pays ode to the garlic amulets that permeate vampire fiction while the lightbox Phantasmagorical Heart (2019) references the hollow heart that often haunts these characters.
Ramirez acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land where he lives and works, the Wurundjeri people. He pays his respects to Elders past, present and emerging of the Kulin Nation.

Also familiar with each other: Red Sox manager Alex Cora and the Astros.
"I think it's just staying locked in, not trying to play above your playing grade", Sale said. The Red Sox upgraded a lineup that was overmatched on this stage previous year by adding MVP candidate J.D.
One of the flashpoints of the ALDS was the use of the song "New York, New York", right at the center of a lot of mutual Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees trolling.
After beating the 100-win Yankees, the Red Sox face the 103-victory Astros. These teams are too good, and they have too much to play for.
"This is a rematch of previous year", Sale said. Who knows where I would have been? He's ready to go, and he isn't holding anything back with a trip to the World Series on the line. Red Sox players - including a couple that were Cora's teammates when he was with the team from 2005-08 - praised the relatability of their 42-year-old manager after five years with the more traditional and distant John Farrell.
There are trade deadline acquisitions and then there are ones like the one that brought Justin Verlander to the Astros last August.
In this postseason, both won Game 1 of his respective series. It doesn't guarantee that you're going to have success, but when you're not shying away from the moment and doing everything you can to be prepared, I think that's the biggest thing.
Henry began his senior playing career with Monaco in 1994, during which time he played under future Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. Henry , is a former Monaco player, has now left his role as Belgium's assistant coach to take up the head coach role at Monaco .
Verlander was stellar in Game 1 of the ALDS against Cleveland, giving up two hits and two earned runs in 5.1 innings of work. The Red Sox's bullpen still has some issues getting the ball to closer Craig Kimbrel.
He grew into one of baseball's most productive hitters.
Sale is 5-2 with a 1.83 ERA in seven career regular season starts against the Astros. With Jackie Bradley Jr. dancing on third base, Verlander put a 1-2 curveball in the dirt and past catcher Martin Maldonado, allowing the runners to advance and tying the game 2-2.
"I think it's just better for the game", Sale said.
It was fairly obvious that Yankees ace pitcher Luis Severino, for whatever reason, just didn't have his best stuff in Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Monday.
From Cy Young candidates such as Verlander and Game 2 starter Gerrit Cole, to MVP possibility Bregman (and the guy who won the award a year ago, Jose Altuve) to a bullpen anchored by former Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna, the Astros are indeed a juggernaut. Benintendi slammed down his helmet and bat down and jawed with plate umpire James Hoye before Red Sox coaches ran in to get between them. Cora insisted that he had faith in Price, and he told the 2012 AL Cy Young victor as much after the Red Sox eliminated the Yankees in the previous round.
Don't know about you, but after this, my nerves will be ready for another Red Sox-Yankees series in, oh, about 14 years. Catcher Gary Sanchez dropped a pitch on a stolen base that set up Boston's first run.


the drilled distance from the underground heading.
(i) Downhole width. True width to be determined.
Commenting on the latest results, Gil Playford, GBS Gold's Chairman and CEO, said: "The drilling results within the Brocks Creek underground mine are very encouraging as they demonstrate the potential to extend the life of this mine which provides high grade ore to the Union Reefs plant. At Fountain Head, our geological team has done excellent work in delineating robust zones of high grade mineralization which should enable this area to deliver increased tonnages and gold production going forward."
The Brocks Creek underground mine is located approximately 75km by road from the Union Reefs gold plant, and hosts an indicated resource of 140,000 tonnes at 18.1g/t containing 81,700 ounces of gold, and an inferred resource of 69,000 tonnes at 8.3g/t containing 18,500 ounces of gold.
Mining commenced in the Brocks Creek underground operation in late 2006 and has since progressed to approximately 270 metres below surface at the 825 Level. Since the start of 2007, the mine has produced approximately 159,000 tonnes at an average gold grade of 11.6g/t for production of approximately 56,000 ounces. The majority of this gold production has been sourced from the Main Lode of the Brocks Creek orebody, and the latest indications are that the adjacent Central Lode is increasing in size and grade with depth.
Drilling from the underground workings at the 870 level approximately 225 metres below surface has recently been undertaken with the objective of testing for depth extensions of the Main Lode and, in particular, deeper levels in the Central Lode. Significant results are set out on page 1 of this news release, and are fully tabulated in Attachment 1.
The results received are depicted graphically below.
Results indicate that the Central Lode of the Brocks Creek orebody is increasing in strike length, grade and true width with depth. Additional encouraging intersections in the Main Lode have also been received. Drillhole ZU870-11 returned an average grade of 11.3g/t gold in the Main Lode from an area where a grade of 6.0g/t gold was predicted by the existing resource model. It would therefore appear that localized upgrading of the resource is occurring. This information will form the basis of a new block model and resource estimate.
A planned drill access drive from the 810 Level will enable future drilling to both intersect the ore body at an optimum angle and to obtain drill coverage for a further 200 metres vertical depth beyond the current known resource limits.
Mining operations continue at the Fountain Head open pit, into both the anticline and adjacent Tally Ho lode structures. Since open pit mining operations commenced at Fountain Head in early 2007, a total of approximately 896,000 tonnes at an average gold grade of 1.6g/t has been mined from the Fountain Head and Tally Ho lodes for production of approximately 43,000 ounces. The current resource estimate for the Fountain Head deposit, including the Tally Ho lode structures, comprises indicated resources of 1,483,000 tonnes at 1.7g/t for 78,400 ounces of contained gold, plus inferred resources of 524,000 tonnes at 1.8g/t for 30,500 ounces of contained gold.
Since December 2007, drilling has continued in the Tally Ho lodes which are located on a shear zone diverging from the main Fountain Head anticline lode structures. As well as significantly expanding the Fountain Head open pit resource, the Tally Ho lodes are interpreted to represent the near-surface expression of a larger and previously overlooked gold system. Recent results received from drilling into the Fountain Head Tally Ho lodes are from 18 reverse circulation drillholes for a total of 2,820 metres. Significant intersections are set out on page 1 of this news release, and are tabulated in detail in Attachment 1.
This drilling targeted the lower portion of the interpreted resource depth extensions with the objective of defining additional ore material that would extend the Fountain Head open pit mine life. Although further drilling is required, these drilling results suggest that a cut-back to the existing open pit is economically feasible and indicate an increase in the average grade of the Tally Ho lodes with depth. Refer the graphics below and on the next page. In particular, drillhole THRC106 (26 metres at 17.0g/t from 118 metres downhole) intersects below the current resource model limits. A new resource block model containing the recent drilling is being compiled and will be used for mine planning.
In addition to the extended open pit potential, the higher grade tenor and significantly increased true widths of up to 14 metres, suggests that there may also be scope for deeper mineralization that might support an underground mining operation. The Tally Ho lodes are open down dip and along strike. Further drilling is planned to test these zones and to further increase the contained ounces within the Tally Ho lodes.

GBS Gold trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "GBS".
The drilling results and technical disclosures in this news release regarding GBS Gold's properties were approved by Alf Gillman, an employee of GBS Gold and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101. The Company's mineral resources comprise indicated resources of 22.8 million tonnes at 3.3g/t for 2.4 million ounces of contained gold and inferred resources of 20.3 million tonnes at 2.5g/t for 1.6 million ounces of contained gold. The Company will shortly file a technical report for the updated resource estimate for its non-Tom's Gully properties and the feasibility study and reserve estimate for its Cosmo Deeps project. The Company has filed two technical reports on the Tom's Gully project being a technical report entitled "Form 43-101 Technical Report on the Tom's Gully Project" dated and filed on January 14, 2008 and a technical report entitled "Technical Report on the Mineral Reserves of the Tom's Gully Gold Mine" dated December 2007 and filed on January 31, 2008. The Company has completed a feasibility study on the Tom's Gully Project and declared a probable mineral reserve estimate of 740,000 tonnes at 7.1g/t for 170,000 ounces of contained gold (refer the news release dated December 18, 2007). Other than the feasibility studies completed on the Tom's Gully and Cosmo Deeps projects, the Company has not completed a feasibility study and there is no certainty that its projects will be economically successful. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Any potential updates to GBS Gold's mineral resources discussed in this news release are conceptual in nature and subject to further drilling, analytical and test work and/or data verification. All estimates of updates to mineral resources are based on the drilling results and resource modeling described herein.
GBS Gold manages its drilling and assaying activities in accordance with industry standard quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures. Samples are collected by GBS Gold personnel and prepared in accordance with specified procedures at the relevant assay laboratories. The primary assay laboratory is North Australian Laboratories in Pine Creek, Northern Territory. Laboratory site reviews are undertaken. Assay QA/QC involves the use of assay standards (sourced from reputable suppliers and cross-checked through umpire laboratories), field duplicates, blanks and barren quartz flushes. A third party "umpire" laboratory is used to cross-check and validate approximately 5% of the assay results. Sample coarse rejects are retained and approximately 5% of samples are re-submitted for further assay verification. All sample pulps, half-core and rock-chip samples are retained at site.

Chapter 53 The Aspect of Death
on August 24, 2020 September 18, 2020 By lotus eater
Use it the way it is meant to be used. Do not deny your birthright for who else was born with their Aspect?
"My birthright…"
Deo stood amidst a pile of dead bodies, ravaged by the brutality of war. Fire and blood scarred the ground. These were not Deo's kills, so far he'd contributed nothing to the conflict. Hales and the rest of the squad pushed further into the enemy ranks, leaving behind a corpse trail. A joint counterassault had been launched by several thousand Garghent soldiers. They charged from the mountains while the smaller specialty squads like Hales' attacked from the flank.
They were driving a wedge between the Coalition leading to the metropolis itself. They sought to split the enemy and open a path from the mountains to the city.
It wouldn't work. Deo didn't know who was in charge of the attack but a week into the conflict was too soon to pull off such a maneuver. Not while the Coalition still had so much interest in taking the mountains. Their army from the north and south would collapse on the wedge and decimate the force. The Coalition had millions of soldiers at their disposal, they could afford to crush the counterassault and continue attacking the mountains.
Deo abhorred such sloppy strategy. It would get Hales and himself killed. The Coalition was going to spring their trap and take out a dozen Specters. In a war of attrition, this would be a huge day for the Coalition, even at the cost of ten thousand or more of their own.
Deo turned around and looked toward the Garghent mountains. He could see the giant slabs of rock and ahead of him were the mighty walls of Garghent. Kilometers separated the two locations but such was their grandiose that one could see both landmarks when in the center of the two.
Deo climbed a nearby tree to get a better view. The area was woody but not dense enough to be a real forest. He hoisted himself over a branch and could see stars and planets crash into the enemy lines. Whole regiments scattered before Hales and her galaxy eyes.
She would be wondering where he was about now. He had slipped from sight at some point during the charge, casually retreating back, out of sight and out of mind.
She wouldn't be able to backtrack, but Deo didn't have it in him to walk away. Not with the knowledge that she would die.
The land naturally dipped lower and lower from the mountain range until rising again at Garghent. The elevation change was subtle when moving on it, but with a higher vantage point Deo had a much broader perspective. He saw Coalition soldiers on the move from both sides, ready to surround Garghent's army. He estimated they were three kilometers out, about fifteen minutes give or take.
Something must have gone wrong in the administrative side, Garghent wasn't usually this careless. Probably a defector high in the ranks. Either way…
"Time to get to work."
Deo leapt down from the tree. He saw a soldier bleeding on the ground, asking for help. The uniform indicated he was a Garghent soldier. He had bad injuries in the legs, collarbone and stomach.
Deo unholstered a pistol and aimed it at the man's heart. He tried speaking but blood bubbled in his mouth.
"You are the first," Deo told the man before squeezing the trigger, a feat which curiously took more willpower than muscle to perform.
The shot followed moments after speaking and the noise made Deo flinch.
The man jerked once and died.
Deo failed to suppress a smile.
His conscience screamed at him from inside.
He wanted to dance with joy.
He felt his stomach churn.
Deo's nerves and adrenaline came out as a sort of giggle. He felt light and silly. He let the surreality of the situation take over. He didn't want this life, certainly didn't want to be in a war and definitely didn't want to kill. He knew what his reaction would be.
It was everything he dreamt of since that day…
He could hardly consider such an execution a real kill but oh who cares? Death was death. The rituals of combat or process of fighting and the display of strength didn't matter to Deo. What was the obsession with acting like two rams butting heads for the mate? Deo knew such things as honor and fairness were societal formulations and therefore only existed in the minds of those who believed in them. Does a spider propose a duel before injecting venom into its trapped victim? Does a wildfire politely excuse all life from the area before burning a forest down?
Such petty beliefs were illogical. Humans think themselves special for their engagement to stupidity.
Deo, ever a man with refined tastes, did appreciate class. Things should be done with personality, character. How else could boredom be staved off? A flare for the dramatic, says the poet inside of him.
The internal clock of survival said this; the Coalition you madman!
His trance disrupted and reality checking back in, Deo jolted into action.
He laid a hand on the dead Garghent soldier. Focusing his Aspect. The familiar feeling of animating the dead, not so different from flower to human.
A sphere of unlight expanded from the dead soldier for an instant and then shrunk back down inside the soldier where Deo laid his hand.
This would take too long. The Coalition was but a few minutes from blindsiding Garghent.
Deo stood and centered himself. He extended both hands down, palms open. He pointed a finger at a random Coalition corpse. The sphere of twilight grew from the center of the body and then collapsed in on it.
Better, but still too slow.
Deo inhaled deeply, expanding his lungs painfully. He held it. And let go.
He closed his eyes and imagined the dead bodies around him. The unused corpses that would go to waste. So much of the world went to waste…
When Deo opened his eyes the pupils were glowing bright and vivid purple, so much so that streaks of violet light blurred his vision.
"Rise." He gave the command.
Eighty corpses stood up. All obviously had some sort of serious wound but as long as enough of the brain was intact he could give more broad orders. The less micromanagement the better.
He pointed north first. "Take your weapons and kill your brothers and sisters." He sent half of his dead soldiers.
The other half he sent south, issuing the same order. He told them to kill impartially. Shoot anything in sight. They all had the muscle and brain capacity to do that much. Some could run, those with both legs, some had to limp their way and a couple others lacked hands and these would just charge without any real combat ability, perhaps breaking resolve of the enemy, seeing soldiers run at them incoherently with hands and body parts missing.
Deo searched around for another body. He had a specific one in mind. A promising candidate turned out to be missing a face upon rolling the body over.
At last Deo found a Coalition officer who didn't have on display his manner of passing. A few shots to the chest were easy to cover up. Deo used his Aspect again and the corpse was his to control.
It stood and Deo worked swiftly on cleaning up its chest. It didn't need to be perfect but a little subtlety never hurt.
Deo commanded the officer special instructions. He would need this corpse later.
"Yes sir!" The officer responded just as directed. Its voice worked and all the motor functions were smooth. The officer left per Deo's instructions.
Deo heard the gunshots as his dead soldiers engaged the enemy. The blow to morale must be heavy, seeing your own bloodsoaked soldiers firing on you would also be confusing. It would allow Hales and the rest of the force time to react.
Deo started walking to rejoin the army. He saw plenty of corpses on the way over but decided against raising more as he didn't want to risk being seen at this point.
The initial eighty would have to suffice.
Deo reached the back of the army and saluted the rear guard. The battle seemed to be over as the general mood looked like relief and relaxation. Deo found out that a contingent from the city charged out to meet the assault group. They successfully carved a path from the mountains to the city. They would need to figure out a way to hold it but as for now the Coalition retreated from the area.
Deo found Hales and her squad talking with the Cull and a few other captains.
"Apparently there was some friendly fire so they backed off." Deo overheard one captain say. A bigger man clapped the back of another.
"What do they expect bringing in so many damn cities together? Of course they are going to experience some classic pandemonium!"
"We're lucky to be alive." Snapped the Cull. "I'll talk to the General, that operation shouldn't have happened."
"What's the plan now?" Asked Hales.
"We have orders to secure the path. We're digging two trenches from the city to the mountains, one for the front and one for the rear."
Just then ten large bulldozers came rumbling along with a few hundred workers.
"Garghent is famous for being able to construct a skyscraper in twenty-seven days. Boys, we got seven days to complete these trenches!" The foreman barked out orders left and right and the crew got busy.
"Let's clear the area and set up a perimeter!" The Cull gave his own orders and the soldiers dispersed.
Hales turned and saw Deo. "You're okay!" She exclaimed.
"Stayed back with a wounded soldier." Deo shrugged, suggesting the soldier didn't make it. What he said wasn't entirely untrue.
She must have caught the brightness of Deo's eyes as they faded back to normal because Hales hesitated momentarily, eyeing the swarthy man with curiosity and suspicion.
"Everything okay?" She asked.
"Just a lot of dead." Deo explained. Hales didn't completely buy it but she went along anyway.
"Come, we've got to prepare defenses for the night."
Hales and Deo left the construction site and met up with the rest of the squad.
"Do you know what happened, captain?" Santiage started, "One minute the Coalition is closing in on us and the next they are running with their tails between their legs."
"One of our soldiers saw some Coalition troops shooting at their own. They must have gotten bad intel." Hales offered.
"A group of Garghent sympathizers perhaps?" Liem suggested.
"It don't make much sense, considerin' most of them folks were fightin' with mortal wounds." Saccha added. "I ain't ever seen a man walkin' with half a stomach and a blown out chest."
"Sounds like one of your kills, Yillo." Santiage pointed out.
Yillo looked up, thinking through the situation. It was his turn to eye Deo now. During the last week only Yillo supported Hales in keeping Deo on the team. The others wanted to send him into the mountains, calling him a liability. A pacifist really had no place on a special forces team, that much Deo could agree with. Though not a true pacifist, he did refuse to fight for a cause he didn't believe in and for a city he rejected.
Yillo wanted him around because he sensed the potential in Deo. He wanted Deo backed against a wall, to see his hand forced. Not for the greater glory of Garghent, but for the personal satisfaction that comes from one sadist witnessing the art of another sadist.
Yillo kept his thoughts to himself and Deo found some place to sit. Deo found himself surprisingly tired after using his Aspect the way he did.
Hales and the others continued to discuss the day's events and the night's plans. Saccha settled down beside Deo and broke into his flask.
"Hey man," Deo began, "you've got first shift of watch tonight, right? I'll take yours if you want. You can relax and drink."
Saccha thought about it for about half a second before accepting the offer.
"Knew there was a reason we keep you around." Saccha said light-heartedly, following a deep swig.
Deo replied with a smile. The rest of the group settled in except for Hales and the tactician who were busy going back and forth from position to position and making constant conversation on the radio.
Night came and Deo declared he'd take watch when the snoring Saccha lay too comatose to respond.
The general consensus was the Coalition wouldn't attack until at least the middle of the next day. Standing watch was just a precaution and there were a few hundred soldiers on this side. Deo's watch was hardly necessary.
When his team lay asleep he quietly stepped away, his supplies already bagged earlier. He grabbed the pack and slung it over his shoulder.
Movement coming from behind made him halt. He turned to see Hales, her galaxy eyes glimmering in the dark.
"I thought there was an enemy." Hales started.
"There is." Deo replied simply and honestly.
"You are deserting." She said evenly.
"I am merely walking away."
"You saved us all today, didn't you?" Her voice accusing as much as thanking.
"Saved you from what? Tomorrow will bring more of the same."
"This whole time that's been your power. What is your Aspect called Deo, tell me truthfully." Hales spoke, almost harshly but tinged with an inexplicable sadness. She ignored his words.
Deo's violet eyes glinted strangely. An owl was singing its deep song and crickets chirped musically off in the distance. A breeze came from the north and the grass swayed with it.
"Death." The low voice of Deo barely audible.
"You have been torn by your conscience all your life… You've lived with hating yourself haven't you? I know what that's like. Don't leave Deo, not now. I would go with you but I can't. We only just got back together. I know things aren't how they used to be but my siblings are here and I have to protect them and this war changed everything and…" Hales trailed off.
"We dreamed of changing the world, Hales. You are bound by chains of duty and self-righteousness. You think good can come from this? Millions will die in this war and still nothing changes."
"You're going to be labeled an enemy of Garghent. You'll never be allowed in the city again."
"I don't have plans of returning."
"I should stop you."
"But you won't."
"Of course not." Hales let her Aspect deactivate and her shoulders slump. "Where will you go?"
"I don't know. I will travel until a purpose becomes clear to me."
"Thank you, for today. Will you be able to live with yourself?"
"I really don't care about that anymore."
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye Hales."
"Our love is ended?"
"Our love is ended." He echoed.
Deo walked away and Hales watched him go until the night shrouded him from sight. Nothing held him back now. Walk far far away from this place and don't look back.
Deo casually strolled around the furthest point that the trench workers had reached and moved beyond the second trench. His route took him south. He debated going to the tip of the continent north to join Lazulie and his revolution but decided against it.
"I serve no one." He told the dead officer that now walked beside him. He had ordered it to leave its hiding place and join him.
It stayed silent by Deo's side. He would need it to pass security checks through the Coalition's camps.
No one questioned the officer but there were some salutes and formalities exchanged upon passing each checkpoint. The Coalition had millions of soldiers and tens of thousands of officers, there's no way anyone would know this officer was killed in action so soon after it happened.
The objective was cleared and Deo escaped passed the furthest Coalition camp. A hill rose in front of him and he crested it.
From the view, as the morning sun brought the dawn, Deo gazed at the walls of Garghent, visible even from here. The tiny dots that made up the millions of soldiers trying to besiege the metropolis like specks of sand around a great but beached whale.
Deo was hit by realization. He understood in an instant Garghent's masterplan. He shook his head and chuckled, it wasn't his problem anymore.
Humans really are the worst.
Deo readjusted the strap of his bag, ordered the dead officer to shoot up the nearest camp and started heading south to the edge of the world.

title: Wrapping Up the STScI Course
category: ["Assessment", "Online", "Space Telescope Science Institute"]
---

The online portion of our work with learners at the Space Telescope Science Institute wound up today. 6 of the 14 people who took part in the on-site workshop submitted "graduation exercise" videos, and three more sent apologies (time pressure, technical difficulties, etc.), which I think is a pretty good completion rate. As always, we finished up by asking everyone to give us one good and one bad thing about the class:

Good
Bad

Test-driven development

Got some experience teaching in a new setting (from my on-site helper)

Exercises incorporated a lot of ideas (saw things in context)

Liked emphasis on "philosophical" parts: how to share work with colleagues, etc.

Liked the way the exercises were structured (e.g., the hints)

Useful to see how instructor worked through a problem from scratch

Changed the way I think about coding

Now breaking code into smaller chunks

Course has made me more aware of how I program

Now believe that good code should not need to be commented

The stuff on SVN was very useful

Needed to take personal time to do class

Disappointed by the narrowness of topics

Frustrated trying to get started (didn't have relevant background)

Course repeated a lot of things I'd seen before

N-body problem exercise was a biiiig jump

Would have liked assignments earlier

Time set for this meeting was inconvenient

Wanted more tips and tricks, psychology of programming, etc.

Some of the apparent contradictions in the "Bad" column reflect the diversity of learners' backgrounds; once again, I think this was the biggest challenge we faced. Overall, though, it was an interesting contrast to my experience running a class through P2PU. I've taught the content of Software Carpentry dozens of times over 14 years, so I had something immediate to draw on for the folks at STScI. On the other hand, I've never completed a course online myself, so I didn't have relevant personal experience to bring to bear at P2PU. I hope that by engaging local helpers in future bootcamp follow-ups, we'll help to grow a pool of people who can do that kind of teaching better.

Click on the topic that interests you to follow it. We will keep you updated with the news you shouldn't miss.
Dakota Johnson (27) and Cara Delevingne (24) are secretly dating.They have spent a lot of time together since the supermodel separated from singer St. Vincent (34) and the actress is tired of waiting for Jamie Dornan (34) to divorce his wife, Amelia Warner (34). Dakota and Cara met through Taylor Swift (26), a close friend of the supermodel. The two realized they have so much in common, besides Dakota should forget Dornan, a married man with two children and Cara wanted to believe in love again.
A complicated past for both
Dakota Jhonson became world famous by starring in the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey." At first the press said that something was going on with Jamie Dornan, her co-star in the movie.
Thereafter, the media said they had an affairand that Dornan was going to divorce his wife to be with the actress. They never confirmed the affair and the actor never divorced. Then, the actress met the British singer Rita Ora, while filming the sequel "Fifty Shades Darker," they now have a beautiful friendship that many believe was a romance.
Cara Delevingne is a famous supermodel known for her beauty and her irreverent personality. She had several romances with many men and women. Her most famous relationship was with the "Fast and Furious" star Michelle Rodriguez (38), but the romance was short-lived. Then she met the singer St. Vincent, whom she described as the love of her life. They had planned toget marriedbut separated.
A month after, St. Vincent began dating Kristen Stewart (26).
A romance with future
Cara and Dakota have been seen together on many ocassions: private dinner dates, parties and other events. They have a same-sex relationship, something that it is fashionable in Hollywood because many Celebrities live theirlovefreely. The actress and the supermodel met at the right time because both really needed emotional stability to face Hollywood, a competitive industry that confuses young stars. Fame can affect the physical and mental health of celebrities, but they take their jobs seriously.

At the beginning of the 1900s, Chelsea, Massachusetts, was slowly transforming from an agricultural society to an urban and industrialized one. Industrialists needed people to work in their factories and that meant work for new immigrants like Samuel Gass. Rural Americans had left their farms to meet the demand but more labor was still needed. Immigrants, first from the British Isles, and then from southern and eastern Europe flooded Boston and other cities. Chelsea eventually became the haven for thousands of Jewish immigrants, who, like Samuel Gass, came to America to seek a new life.
In 1830, Chelsea was a mere 1.5 square mile peninsula housing four farms and thirty people. The tidal channels of the harbor, Chicken Creek and Mystic River, isolated Chelsea from Charlestown and East Boston. A creek and marshland separated it from Revere. Only with Everett did Chelsea share a dry land border. Though it was located only a mile across the harbor from Boston, Chelsea was hardly influenced by the changes that affected that metropolis because at that time no bridge connected the two locales and ferry service was nonexistent.
Then in 1831, ferry service was instituted. Boston's burgeoning, land-hungry population spilled across the harbor. By 1860, 12,000 people lived in Chelsea. The first new settlers were well-off Bostonians who built sizable homes. In 1910, almost 42% of Chelsea's residents were foreign born, however, and intense development created a plethora of small homes on tiny lots and tenements. By 1930, once tiny, rural Chelsea was home to 45,000 people. It had become one of the most densely populated, industrialized cities in the United States.
More than 100 manufacturers made Chelsea their base in 1915. Printing, leather, iron goods, food preparation, rubber hosing and belts, and a large-scale salvage industry provided a diverse economic base. Metals, old newspapers, corrugated cardboard, used clothing, wool and cotton goods, all were collected and baled into hundred-pound or fifty-pound blocks and sold to manufacturers for recycling.
The city was divided into districts, segregated by class. Broadway ran the full length of Chelsea from the harbor to its border with Everett, cutting the city in half. The waterfront area housed the industrial and commercial core of Chelsea. Near the waterfront, tenements and a mixture of industrial and institutional buildings bounded Broadway. In the midtown area, shops prevailed. Here and northeast of the industrialized area were the modest residences of many workers; beyond these were the houses of the more affluent. The most prestigious homes were located in Horn Hill, Mount Washington, and Mount Bellingham. Near Mill Creek and the Everett boundary, stately homes lined the street.
Most of Chelsea's residents lived within a quarter mile of Broadway. However, language and religious differences effectively segregated the different ethnic groups. The Catholic Polish community settled near the harbor. The Jews established themselves in the mid-town area (although some streets were a mixture of Jew and Gentile.) The Protestant, American-born residents of northern European descendent laid claim to upper Broadway. Broadway in the southeast and railroad tracks in the northeast effectively separated their neighborhood from the Jewish section.
Even the shopping districts were distinct. Along Broadway there were fourteen butcher shops belonging to Gentiles, and no Jewish butchers. On Arlington Street, there were twelve Jewish butcher shops and no Gentile butchers. The Mill Hill section and Polish section of town were very anti-Semitic. Jews felt they were locked out of certain places and certain vocations because of this prejudice.
In 1905, the Jewish population of Chelsea was 4,500. Ten years later in 1915, the population had more than doubled with 11,000 Jews in the city. Most Jews worked in relatively high status occupations. They were carpenters, tailors, clerks, bookkeepers, coal dealer, lawyers, physicians, and journalists. Many of the Jews moved in from Boston during the building boom that followed a terrible Chelsea fire on Palm Sunday in 1908. The conflagration had swept through Chelsea and destroyed almost the entire business section and many houses.

In 1915, Chelsea's Jew population supported three synagogues and many Jewish political organizations such as the Chelsea Zionist Girls, Chelsea Young Zionists, Judean Juniors; two athletic associations—the Y.M.H.A. (Young Men's Hebrew Association) and Y.W.H.A. (Young Women's Hebrew Association); three lodges of the Independent Order of B'rith Abraham; as well as other Jewish organizations.
