Canagold Announces Agreement with Taku River Tlingit First Nation for Flagship New Polaris Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX: CCM, OTC-QB: CRCUF, Frankfurt: CANA) (the "Company" or "Canagold"), is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation ("TRTFN") in respect of development of the Company's New Polaris project ("New Polaris", or the "project") located within the traditional territory of the TRTFN located approximately 100 kilometres south of Atlin, B.C.
The Hà Khustìyxh/"Our Way" agreement establishes the framework for a cooperative and mutually respectful working relationship between the signatories to support Canagold's exploration and advancement activities at New Polaris while ensuring to minimize any adverse impacts of mining activity on the rights and interests of the TRTFN. In addition, this initial accord lays the foundation for negotiation of future long-term agreements as the project progresses through its permitting, construction and production phases.
"I'm particularly pleased that Canagold has entered into this groundbreaking agreement, which underscores our Company's strong commitment to the environment and reflects the spirit of collaboration we share with the TRTFN," said Catalin Kilofliski, CEO of Canagold. "The agreement not only enshrines the progressive and ecologically sustainable basis of our partnership, it also demonstrates our determination to support local communities within the traditional territory while at the same time rewarding our shareholders."
The agreement also includes a framework for information-sharing, permitting processes, environmental protection and monitoring, as well as sharing of benefits to support community development initiatives. Through this collaborative approach, Canagold is able to obtain consent and support its exploration and evaluation activities within the TRTFN territories.
Canagold and TRTFN are committed to continue collaborating on various initiatives, including discussions on the recently announced Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA), in line with TRTFN's stated desire to allow environmentally sound mining to take place in the Territory.
About TRTFN
The TRTFN territory covers over 40,000 square kilometres and includes what is now known as British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska. The town of Atlin, B.C., a community of about 400 people is the main community where the government and administration officials for the Taku River Tlingit First Nation are located. The TRTFN territory contains high mountains, expansive forests rich in wildlife and rivers filled with salmon.
About New Polaris
New Polaris is Canagold's flagship asset, which is the 100% owned gold mine project located in northwestern B.C. about 100 kilometres south of Atlin, B.C. and 60 kilometres northeast of Juneau, Alaska. The property consists of 61 contiguous Crown-granted mineral claims and one modified grid claim covering 850 hectares. New Polaris lies within the TRTFN traditional territory. Canagold is firmly committed to working closely with the TRTFN on all aspects of the project's consultations, planning and future development plans. The Company's primary objective is to build a successful long-term partnership with TRTFN, in order to plan and create together a project with a long-lasting positive impact on the environment, the members of the TRTFN, the local community of Atlin and other surrounding communities.
A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), completed in February 2019 by Moose Mountain Technical Services, demonstrated the robust economic viability of the project. Using a gold price of US$1,500 per oz, the PEA indicated cash costs of US$400 per oz, an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV with 5% discount) of C$469 million with an after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 56% and a 1.9 year pay-back period. On a pre-tax basis, the undiscounted life-of-mine cash flow totals C$847 million (C$/US$ exchange rate 0.71).
The current resource (from the 2019 PEA, 4g/t Au cut off) includes an Indicated resource of 586,000 oz Au (1.7Mt @ 10.8 g/t) and an Inferred resource of 485,000 oz Au (1.5Mt @ 10.2 g/t).
During 2021 and 2022 over 30,000 metres of drilling in 54 holes was completed to upgrade the inferred resource to the indicated resource category and increase the mineral resources. An update to mineral resource estimates will be made using this recent and currently ongoing drilling information for the feasibility study.
About Canagold
Canagold Resources Ltd. is a growth-oriented gold exploration company focused on advancing the New Polaris Project through feasibility and permitting. Canagold is also seeking to grow its assets base through future acquisitions of additional advanced projects. The Company has access to a team of technical experts to help unlock significant value for all Canagold shareholders.

Here is a short video of us arriving at our campsite in Orio.
Today the 26th we went into town, got some provisions, wandered around the old tow, which is very pleasant and now are sitting around doing not a lot before the barbie is fired up. I presume some cerveza will be consumed.


Yes, it's Monday and yes, it's an unofficial national holiday, a sham some would say, but that's a shame because we Brewburgers applaud somebody somewhere for thinking up something really cool—American Beer Day! So, hey you Mr. and Ms 'merican, surely you can find a can in your coolerator of good ol' made in the U.S.A. beer to celebrate today. Better yet, go local with friends to your hometown brewery or taphouse!

Shows of the week: Owel, Bruce Hornsby, Asia, Robbie Maxx
By: Tris McCall | September 23, 2014
Owel performs at Asbury Lanes, Friday night.
"I'm the perfect little foil for the prognosticators of doom," sang a buoyant Bruce Hornsby on "Circus on the Moon," a song about (among other things) his instrumental excellence. That's not a bad self-assessment. Since putting a few songs on the charts in the '80s, Hornsby has been as experimental as any mainstream rock star, throwing elements of jazz, electronic music, traditional country and leftfield pop into his songs, and collaborating with anybody able to keep up with his exuberant piano arpeggios. This isno way to remain in heavy rotation, and Hornsby's cheery restlessness probably cost him a shot at the sort of middlebrow permanence that many of his peers chased. Yet Hornsby's cult audience is a ferocious one, and by excising the casual fans, he's been free to focus on thrilling the dedicated. Many of those live in the Garden State, where Hornsby has a large following. The last time Hornsby stopped in Jersey —just a few months ago —he shared top billing with bluegrass mandolinist Ricky Skaggs, and the combo reworked some of his best-known songs. On Saturday at the McCarter Theatre Centerin Princeton, he'll pare his material back even farther: he'll be accompanied only by percussionist Sonny Emory, a frequent collaborator who has appeared on his last few albums. Hornsby solo is a dice roll that generally comes out a winner; liberated from the restrictions of a band, he goes wherever his muse takes him. All attendees at this show receive a copy ofSolo Concerts, a Hornsby live double-disc set.
Virtuosity, as Hornsby learned early in his career, is only a means to an end in pop, and sometimes precipitates as much resentment as appreciation. I don't know if our local primitivists hold the instrumental accomplishment of the members of Owel against the band, but I know this: the Jersey group isn't nearly as celebrated as it ought to be. The group's self-titled album aligned Owel with orchestral pop-rock acts like Lydia and Deas Vail, but the creativity of the playing —particularly the drumming —recalled older traditions. "The Unforgiving Tide," the centerpiece of a consistently beautiful album, has the sweep and ambition of early Genesis. So lush, polished and layered isOwelthat it's hard to imagine how the musicians approximate its grandeur in concert, but I've heard that they do, and I'm looking forward to finding out for myself when the group plays at Asbury Lanes on Friday night.
A somewhat better-traveled gang of art-rockers is running wild in the Garden State this week: Asia pulls into the Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday and the Bergen Performing Arts Center on Saturday. Originally conceived as a refugee center for musicians from long-running rock groups facing declining commercial prospects, Asia didn't seem built to last. Yet three-fourths of the original lineup hung in there for the band's first decade. By Aria in 1994, the only founder left was synth player Geoffrey Downes, who first made his name in the Buggles and who has made a few trips through the revolving door of Yes. Downes put the old gang back together in the mid-'00s, and the outfit that'll rock Englewood and Morristown this week features King Crimson veteran John Wetton on bass and lead vocals and Carl Palmer, who put the P in ELP, behind the kit. Alas, the missing Asian is the most talented one: the daring Steve Howe, a perennial dark horse contender for the title of Best Rock Guitarist Ever. His place has been taken by young Sam Coulson, who plays on Gravitas, Asia album No. 14. Worry not, attendee: most of the setlist is dedicated to the early hits. That means you're guaranteed renditions of the proggy "Sole Survivor," souped-up ballad "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes," wonderfully bombastic "Only Time Will Tell" and "Heat of the Moment," the quintessential early-'80s arena-rock number.
On "Volcano," Robbie Maxx growls about repping the 'Wood, and he means Westwood, a Bergen County town that's mostly quiet. (Well, as long as he isn't there making a racket.) Flipping Kendrick Lamar, he calls himself a mad kid in a good city —but he's a budding talent, and they're lucky to have him. Maxx shared top billing on "Volcano" with Lil Wonda, a scion of the Duplessis family that has been deeply involved in Jersey rap since the '90s (Lil Wonda's dad Jerry Duplessis produced and played for the Fugees and Wyclef Jean). Robbie's a family man, too: his dad, a veteran musician himself, accompanies him on drums. This Thursday, he takes the act to Mexicali Live in Teaneck, which has become the rapper's base of operations. He's almost certain to kick "The Intro," his most introspective verse, and one on which he puts his growing confidence to good narrative use.

Home Government A Stronger Los Angeles Depends on an Accurate Black Census Count
A Stronger Los Angeles Depends on an Accurate Black Census Count
Kirk Samuels
By Kirk Samuels
An accurate census count is vital to all of us, but in the current moment it is even more critical for our Black communities across Los Angeles County.
The Los Angeles County region has reached a 50% response rate to the census. While we've crossed the halfway mark, which is a point of celebration given the global coronavirus pandemic
that is gripping our community — we still have a long road ahead. We need every Black resident of Los Angeles County to join this journey now more than ever.
But why does the census matter?
Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau counts every person living in the United States — regardless of their race, ethnicity, immigration status, or age. Data from the census helps determine where billions of dollars go to for federal resources that are directed to our communities such as hospitals, parks, schools, and affordable housing programs across Los Angeles. More than 60% of census funding goes to public health programs that receive federal
funding like WIC, SNAP, Medicaid/Medicare and community health centers. These are the programs and services that are serving as a lifeline during this unprecedented moment of crisis.
As the coronavirus is impacting our Black brothers and sisters at a disproportionate rate, responding to the census is one small, yet important action that each and every one of us can
take in the recovery process by ensuring adequate public health and social services go to our communities for the next 10 years.
Historically, Black people in America are accused of being a "hard-to-count" population. We rarely consider the multitude of systemic barriers and obstacles the Black community has to
face in order to participate in civic practices, particularly the census. During the inception of the census in 1790, Black people were only counted as 3/5 of a human in order to preserve political power for Southern White plantation owners. After 230 years of systemic oppression, Black people continue to experience despair that causes major inequities for the entire community.
Unstable living conditions, along with the lack of access to high- speed broadband Internet, and a host of other issues facilitate disproportionate obstacles for the Black community to be accurately counted.
Our community is aware of these discrepancies, but this year presents a unique opportunity for us to do something different. We have a chance to collectively advocate for full political representation and equitable funding for our communities.
A Stronger Los Angeles Depends on an Accurate Black Census Count — Page Two The "Shelter at Home" order enables us to contact high numbers of people in the Black community because most people are available due the COVID-19 Pandemic. It's more important than ever that we engage the Black community to assure we have the resources we need not only to survive, but to thrive and live whole lives.
Making up over 9% of the total population of Los Angeles County, spanning every corner of 4,000 square miles and 88 cities, the Black communities of Los Angeles can and deserve to be counted accurately on the 2020 census.
As we grapple with how we move past the current coronavirus crisis, our communities will be changed in the aftermath of it all. It is up to us to empower one another in playing a role, no matter how small, in shaping what our communities will look like for the next 10 years.
Play your role now: complete your 2020 Census form today.
Completing your form is simple. It's fast. It's safe. Complete your census online at my2020census.gov, by phone at 844-330-2020 or by mail if you received a paper form. Your responses are protected by the law and cannot be shared with other government agencies and organizations. For example, your landlord cannot get access to your responses.
Count everyone living in your household and don't forget young children. Help spread the word on why the census is so important. Tell your neighbors, your family, your relatives and your friends. Even as we remain sheltered in place and continue to live our lives in this new environment, we have an important opportunity to work together to create flourishing communities for every Black Angeleno.
An accurate census count of our community will build a future that is stronger, healthier and more representative for all of us.

The best choral music you've never heard

GUEST BLOG POST: ON PROGRAMMING, PART 1
Of the many hats choral conductors wear, one of the more challenging ones to put on is that of programmer. In many respects, programming a concert is similar to the act of composition – one tries to build a structure that takes the listener on a coherent journey, presenting a premise or argument, developing it, and leaving them with a compelling idea that changes the way the listener thinks or process an experience. Similar to a Schenkerian structure, a well-constructed program presents an overarching narrative that contains smaller, self-contained episodes, themselves containing even smaller, still-coherent structures – a musical realization of Augustus de Morgan's musing,
Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum.
And the great fleas, themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
Given this structural ideal, there are several "ways in" when trying to assemble a program. The method I have found most fruitful is to come up with a kernel—a programmatic motive—upon which I can expand to build these structures. This kernel often consists of no more than a pair or trio of pieces that go together thematically, musically, and/or textually. A recent program that I assembled—which eventually took in music by Bach, Brahms, Schütz, Reger, and Mendelssohn—began with the pairing of Brahms' Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen? with Reger's monumental homage to that work, Mein Odem ist schwach. This kernel presented musical, textual, and thematic connections to Schütz's Ich weiß, dass mein Erlöser lebt—which draws from the same text as the last movement of Reger's motet—Bach's Lobet den Herrn, and Brahms' Schaffe in mir, Gott, ein rein Herz, among many other motets that ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor.
Once the central theme and narrative of a program are established, the programmer's task is to select amongst the many works that may present themselves as complementary to the central kernel in terms of theme, key, tempo, length, language, style, era, and accompaniment. This is not to say that a set within a given program should consist of works that all align in terms of these considerations; on the contrary, it is often advisable to vary the material within a set and between sets in the service of keeping the listeners—and singers—engaged and moving along the narrative arc. This may result in what might be viewed, on the surface, as an eclectic, meandering program – until one looks deeper to uncover the ways the works are connected.
As an exercise, I'll describe the construction of a program that incorporates several terrific pieces from the See-a-Dot catalog. The kernel of this program is a pair of modern settings of ancient, contemplative Latin texts of the Catholic Church: John Cantrell's gorgeous Ave Verum Corpus and Joseph Twist's equally beautiful setting of Versa est in Luctum. The pieces share a number of broad similarities, both aesthetic and thematic: written in neo-Renaissance style, they feature singable lines woven together to create a beautiful tapestry of transparent, heart-rending sound. They employ varying textures of a cappella singing to sweep the listener along their own self-contained musical arcs, building to dramatic climaxes that, when executed precisely and artfully, create breathtaking musical effects.
In the next installment of this series, we'll dive into the process by which we might fill out our program around this kernel and discuss several challenges that it, and the process, might present us.

Q: display: inline-block pushes my divs downwards My problem is that i'm trying to get three entirely independent columns and with 'display: inline-block', my columns get side by side but starts under the biggest.
HTML, CSS:

.container > div {
 display: inline-block;
}

    aaaaaaa
bbbbbb

    cccccc
 ddddddd
eeeeeee

      ffffff

The problem is that the smallest line is aligned to the last line of the biggest div, as follows:

A: When dealing with inline-level and table cell elements, the vertical-align property applies. The initial value of this property is baseline. That's what you're seeing. The text in each box is aligned to the baseline. Adjusting the vertical-align property to another value (such as top) solves the problem.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align

A: Found the solution, although i don't think it's the best way to do this:
.container > div {
   vertical-align: top;
}

:)

A: You could add css property vertical-align: top, that way all content will start at the top of the div.

.container > div {
 display: inline-block;
vertical-align:top
}

    aaaaaaa
bbbbbb

    cccccc

Imagine getting a full minute highlight reel out of just 8mins of game play, impossible right?

"Mugabe describes himself as both a practicing Catholic and a Marxist, but his birthday party was held at the Elephant Hills golf resort..."
"... near Victoria Falls, just up the road from the haunts of Cecil. Mugabe was honored with seven birthday cakes. One was so large that it had to be carried in by eight men; another was described as the size of a mattress. The celebration reportedly cost a million American dollars, in a country that now suffers up to ninety-five per cent unemployment and underemployment, according to the C.I.A.'s World Factbook. (Mugabe conceded during his last election, in 2013, that at least sixty per cent of his countrymen were jobless). Three-quarters of Zimbabwe's population lives below the poverty line. 'It's sad when wildlife is abused, but the Zimbabwean people have been suffering decades of abuse under the wily old Mugabe, who seems never to relent and never to go away,' Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, told me last week."
From "Cecil the Lion and Robert Mugabe," by Robin Wright in The New Yorker.
I don't understand the "but" in the first sentence — "a practicing Catholic and a Marxist, but his birthday party," etc. I mean, I understand it, but it assumes the reader thinks a certain way, and I don't.

Before we judge too harshly, we would do well to consider that it might just be the baking industry puts Zimbabwe back on the mend.
I just read that article=how weird!
alan markus said...
Why were 8 men needed to carry in the cake that looked like a mattress? Emma Sulkowicz not available?
I'm okay with the "but"--it continues to remind us of the false sanctimony of most Marxists. Mugabe is a living memorial to the failures of post-colonial Africa.
Eventually that continent may have a rebirth, but not before they toss out their kleptocratic tyrants with their Third World Marxist policies. It's a shame that this could happen in a place with so much natural resources but it serves to prove that mismanagement can perpetuate poverty anywhere.
robother said...
I don't quite understand Ann's objection. The implication of the "but" (that neither the Pope nor Karl Marx would approve of a million dollar birthday party in an impoverished country) seems uncontroversial to me.
The "but" makes perfect sense to me. Marxists are not supposed to be at the country club.
They're supposed to be at the local municipal course.

Makes you miss Rhodesia...
Can't he just eat his cake?
TreeJoe said...
Following sentences that now need a but in front of it:
"[Insert name here] is a strong environmentalist and proponent of climate change policies, but is a frequent flier."
"[Insert name here] is a billionaire progressive who seeks higher taxes, but employs tax firms to find obscure loopholes to minimize their personal and business tax expenses."
Hypocrisy in espoused ideology is a fine art practiced by many.
The "but" makes sense perhaps in Marxist theory, but Marxist practice has resoundingly established it as only a naive little shibboleth for the remaining true believers.
Sounds like Pope Francis
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

@robother: "I don't quite understand Ann's objection. The implication of the "but" (that neither the Pope nor Karl Marx would approve of a million dollar birthday party in an impoverished country) seems uncontroversial to me."
See, that's why you're not a brave, unconventional, going-against-the-grain law professor in Madison, WI, who, knowing that Catholics and Marxists have proved their hypocrisy for quite some time, would see nothing strange or contradictory in a Catholic Marxist throwing himself a million-dollar birthday with a mattress-size cake.
I am amazed that a golf resort can exist in Zimbabwe, or that anybody can afford to be a member.
Thank goodness they are no longer under the heels of the white oppressors.
"Thank goodness they are no longer under the heels of the white oppressors."
No, that would be better, because then those #zimbabwelivesmatter. Remember, black lives only matter when it's white people taking them. Otherwise, nothing to see here.
dbp said...
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" Maybe Mugabe needs a million Dollar birthday party. Marxism is officially atheist so I don't quite see how that works with him being Catholic either.
Marxism is officially atheist so I don't quite see how that works with him being Catholic either. Because now Mugabe is the 'opium of the masses' instead of the church.
Marxism involves a dictatorship of the proletariat. For most Marxists everywhere and especially Africa: You had them at dictatorship.
[Most] of our social work is done by government bureaucrats who take no vow of povery...
And they do so without any support of the Church of Rome, a tax-free enterprise.
The "but" makes perfect sense to me...
The "but" implies Marxism and Catholicism confer upon their adherents a certain immunity to corruption and megalomania, an immunity that history contradicts.
MacMacConnell said...
As a Catholic all this " confer upon their adherents a certain immunity to corruption and megalomania" is news to me. I must have been home sick on the day the nuns taught that catechism.
It's easier for a celebrity lion to pass through the eye of a needle than for a socialist tyrant to enter into heaven.
I applaud Robin Wright for bringing to light the media hypocrisy with respect to the consequences of socialism and the highly politicized metal disorder of the animal rights extremists.
Do have to admire the way the story validates Marx's observation that History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce: Marie Antoinette's "Let THEM eat cake" vs. Mugabe's "Let ME eat all the cake!"
I've been seeing the word "trophy" being used a lot, lately. Trophy hunting. Trophy hunter. Stuff like that.
A trophy is a memento of a victory. Like a bowling trophy.
What those hunters do is purchase very expensive, ghastly decorations, ornaments.
They're DIY interior decorators who shop at very exclusive retail shops.
Fuck them and the Land Rovers they rode in on.
BudBrown said...
Yeah. I agree. What is it with the modern outlook that in the course
of discussing the disaster that is Mugabe and Zimbawe cant help but take
a sly swipe at Golf Clubs?
Brill said...
I wonder if Trump owns the golf course.
Marxist dictator is just another name for god emperor.
Obama Rex eat your heart out.
paminwi said...
"Mugabe was presented with a lion trophy and a crocodile trophy that were to be stuffed."
Why the hell are we talking about birthday cake when a lion was killed? OR
Why are we talking about birthday cake when Mugabe ate baby elephant?
Static Ping said...
So Catholics and Marxists are not supposed to have birthday parties at golf courses? I'm not following.
Can anyone name a single black politician or celebrity in America who has spoken out against Robert Mugabe?
No one seems to make the connection between Cecil the Lion and Sir Cecil Rhodes, founder of Rhodesia. I'm surprised no one sees that.
No, F, we just don't care. For the record I noted that first thing.
"Can anyone name a single black politician or celebrity in America who has spoken out against Robert Mugabe?"
You mean now that we have adopted the Mugabe way ?
The last 5% of Zimbabwe that has jobs work for the last white farmers in the country. They can no longer own land, of course. They do farm land owned by blacks.
And while we're on the subject, what the fuck is going on with the Pope's visit to Philadelphia? You wouldn't believe the media hype that's going on here.
And I'm all, like, who the fuck cares that the Pope is coming to Philadelphia? What fucking difference does it make? You want to know what the Pope's got to say, read what the Pope fucking says, for Christ's sake. What's so fucking important about being physically close enough to him that maybe you might actually get a chance to see him?
And then it dawned on me: People are so fucking sad and pathetic and desperate and stupid and superstitious that they think that maybe, just maybe, if they can get close enough to the Pope, then maybe, just maybe, God Himself will intervene and grant them a wish.
Hey listen up, people, if it's a little something extra you're after, get yourself a rabbit's foot or some powdered rhinoceros horn, or maybe a slice of cake from Mugabe's birthday bash, or maybe some of that Whole Foods asparagus water.
Stick with science, baby.
Zimbabwe is a disaster but all the same Victoria Falls is spectacular and the area around the falls is alright. The country needs the money from the tourists. I was there last July and stayed at the Victoria Falls hotel. Truly wonderful and once can walk in the the national park from the hotel. The local people you meet are all very friendly and courteous, their truly livelihoods depend on it (and who knows how many relatives)but you can sense the undercurrent of unease. Having been to Namibia and Botswana on the same trip I could tell the difference. While I'm never a cheap tipper, I tipped very, very well by local standards. Interesting I went to a restaurant in town that also had a great African themed show that the only blacks dinning there that weren't foreign tourists were a group of government officials who were eating and drinking quite well and were all quite plump. Next time I will go to the Zambian side of the falls.
I suspect that if a fair and free (and free from fear) election were held today between Mugabe and Ian Smith, Smith would win at least among the older set.
There is a good book about Mugabe and Zimbabwe called Dinner with Mugabe by a white woman who was quite sympathetic to him. According to her, he wanted the whites to stay and especially some who were helping him but his supporters wanted the graft.
Another good piece about the country is by Theodore Dalrymple and called After Empire in City Journal and it explains a lot about Africa.
I am currently reading a book called Elephant-Hunting In East Equatorial Africa - Being An Account Of Three Years' Ivory-hunting Under Mount Kenia And Among The Ndorobo Savages Of The ... A Trip To The North End Of Lake Rudolph
It is written as an account of an ivory hunter in the 1890s out of Mombasa. Once you get past the gore and feeling bad for all the elephants and the rhinos, there were rhinos everywhere, and they traveled in family groups, and he generally shot the parents, and you couldn't help feeling bad for them. But then you get over it and it is an amazing account of Africa while parts of it were still trackless and untraveled.
For one thing, he runs into a group somewhat like Boko Haram, I guess, who were on a "kidnapping raid" to grab women and children to "adopt" into their tribe.
This guy might have been the model for "Van Pelt" from the movie Jumanji, who shot just about everything that moved. But it is kind of like reading Das Boot. Yeah, you know they are Nazis sinking Allied shipping, but somehow you get wrapped up in the struggle against the elements and even the struggle against the Royal Navy.

Wasn't Rhodesia the richest country on the continent prior to the rule of this assclown?

mikee said...
I still find it hilarious that the most famous lion in Zimbabwe was named after the country's colonial exploiter, tyrant and scholarship founder, Cecil Rhodes.
Who named that lion, and why hasn't anyone reported who that person is, to make him/her as famous as possible for the near infinte po-mo irony required to do such a thing?
I don't see many Adolfs around these days, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
Re Das Boot: I watched it in a theater in College Station, Texas, with a lot of Texas A&M Aggie military cadets in the audience. We all cheered when the sub pen was bombed. The rest of the audience was shocked for a moment, then joined in, too.
God, I love Aggies.

El palacio de los Condes de Benavente en Valladolid (España) está situado en la plaza de la Trinidad, junto a la iglesia de San Nicolás y fue uno de los palacios más importantes de la ciudad. Escenario de Corte, sirvió de residencia a la familia real (a Felipe II en 1559 y a Felipe III en 1601), y lugar de nacimiento de Ana Mauricia, futura reina de Francia, y de la infanta María (1603), hija de Felipe III y Margarita de Austria.

Historia

Su construcción comienza en 1515. Fue sede de las Cortes Generales y de los reales consejos. Con Juan Francisco Alonso Pimentel alojó la mejor colección privada de arte que ha existido en Valladolid. Sufrió graves incendios en 1667 y 1716. En 1801 lo adquirió la Diputación de Valladolid para emplearlo como Hospicio hasta la década de los años 1970. En 1982 la Diputación cedió el edificio al Ministerio de Cultura que lo empleó para biblioteca pública, tras un proceso de reconstrucción y rehabilitación operado en el edificio en ruina, al objeto de recuperar y potenciar su tipología original.

Descripción

La planta baja se estructura en torno a dos patios; se respeta totalmente el patio renacentista y se construye un patio en forma circular y cubierta semiesférica. En la crujía central, como resulta habitual en estos conjuntos palaciales, se sitúa la escalera principal de comunicación, adaptándose todo el interior al nuevo uso y funciones, con materiales actuales, hormigón prefabricado, cubiertas de cristal, elementos metálicos, etc.

La fachada principal conserva la primitiva portada de acceso, en piedra, con arco de medio punto, flanqueada por los escudos de los Pimentel Condes-Duques de Benavente y enmarcada en alfiz.

Extracurricular Activities (ECAs)
Takahiko Hasegawa, 3-time Winner of The World Yoyo Championships
On Tuesday morning the Year 5-8 children were treated to an unbelievable display of talent in the EYFS auditorium.
After a rousing Michael Jackson inspired dance performance, we were lucky to have the 3-time winner of the world yoyo championships Takahiko Hasegawa spend a session with us displaying his skills and sharing with us what it takes to be a world champion. He spoke about his determination to succeed, and the whopping 18 years of hard work he had put into his craft. The children and adults were amazed at the tricks he and the other yoyo masters who accompanied him were able to do, leaving us all with a strong encouraging feeling that anything is possible, provided that we put in the hard work and never give up. Mr Sayer in his closing speech spoke of his astonishment at some of the tricks he saw, saying "I have never seen a yoyo that comes off the string like that before."
During his show, Takahiko Hasegawa selected three lucky members from the audience to participate in a competition. These were Mr Sayer, Nguyen Khanh Hoang (6V) and Tue Chan (6B). They were each given 5 minutes to learn from a yoyo master before displaying their newly learned skills on the big stage! Mr Sayer came away as the winner, but all three won fantastic prizes.

The University of Castilla-La Mancha performs in Almonacid del Marquesado (Cuenca) an act of homage, exhibiting some pieces in the cultural hall of the City Hall.
"The Royal Academy may have up to three Academician of Honor chosen from national or foreign personalities who, due to their exceptional services to culture or the Academy itself, have earned such distinction".
One of his drawings is presented as a poster for 'Semana Santa 2008-Cuenca'.
With the title 'Pedro Mercedes-Navidad Íntima' was exhibited in the Museum 'Semana-Santa of Cuenca' about 30 pieces, some of them unpublished, related to the theme of Christmas.
In the Convent of San Gil, headquarters of the Courts of the Castilla-La Mancha Communities, entitled 'Ceramics, Figures and Prints', 24 works are exhibited: "… Mercedes is an example of pure vocation and creative genius". These works were from 2009 located in the headquarters of the Ombudsman of Castilla-La Mancha, 'Casa Perona' Albacete, entitled 'Pedro Mercedes, de la tierra… La vida'.
The exhibition halls of the National Museum of Ceramics Ruiz de Luna have shown under the title 'The ceramist Pedro Mercedes' a selection of the works of this "…outstanding figure at international level for the union of traditional pottery and art…". These pieces made in the traditional pottery, whose origins date back to the sixteenth century, have joined some of the findings in the archaeological excavations carried out in this place the year before, as a bowl of that century, in addition to works engraved in burin in copper once Mercedes left the wheel in 1989.
Junta Comunidades Castilla-LaMancha: In the Provincial Museum of Cuenca, when the extension is made, a room dedicated exclusively to Pedro Mercedes will be set up, where part of about 250 pieces, property of the Junta, will be exhibited.
The City Council of Cuenca: The aim is to rehabilitate the old Pedro Mercedes workshoop (officially dated from the end of the 15th century), property of this City Council since 2010, with the purpose of allocating it to the 'Pedro Mercedes Museum', School of Ceramics and source of artisans.

I tried to contact him a while ago, but no replies.
Anyone else able to program system testers?
Re: What happened to Sp1N-D1zZy?
I just recently asked Turbo about him. No idea Kav.
The newer pups here wont know him.


You probably heard of the most popular of all nut butters: Peanut Butter. But, did you know that there are also other forms of nut butter, like Almond Butter, Walnut Butter or Cashew Butter?
Nut Butter does not only taste delicious, it can also be very healthy! Unlike normal butter, jellies, jams, and margarine, nut butters naturally contain healthy fats that benefit heart health, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and even reduce the risk of obesity. However, nut butters are high in fat (2 tbsp contain ca 16 g of fat). But this fat is good fat, because they contain both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are also known to decrease LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as lowering the risk of metabolic syndrome.
Apart from that, nut butters are high in protein, fiber, minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals, which make them a very nutritious spread. Plus, nut Butters have also been positively linked to weight loss, as you can put it on bread and crackers and remain full for a longer time so that you don't opt for biscuits, cookies or other junk food.
Nevertheless, the key in receiving the total health benefits in nut butters (or even nuts in general) is to eat them in moderation. Two tablespoons per day, or a handful of nuts is the ideal amount according to the American Heart Association.
What, if I have a nut allergy? Don't worry! Seed and Soy Butters are excellent alternatives! For example, Sunflower Seed Butter is high in heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats. Soy Nut Butter (which tastes similar to peanut butter) is higher in protein and lower in fat than the average nut butter. You may also try tahini-sesame seed paste, which has the consistency of nut butter and is also very nutritious while being nut-free. If you have severe nut allergies, ask your doctor to test for potential soy or seed intolerances before trying these options.
When you decide to include nut butter in your diet, it is very important that you choose the one without any added sugar.


We meet in the church lobby on Thursday mornings at 9:30 six times a year for bible study with a different topic and leader each session.
Our current themes and reminders may be found on Face Book and Instagram. Follow us to keep up-to-date with topics and schedules.
We are developing a Mentorship Program to help engage men, build leaders and help the church be what God intends.
Follow us on Face Book and Instagram for current schedules and information.
We have three evening bible studies throughout the year as well as several home groups.
The adult studies are usually six weeks in length on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm. Information on current studies may be found on Face Book and Instagram.
Our "Over 50" group is called the Vintage Bunch and we're all about enjoying each other's company. Whether it is going to a ball game, having a dinner, or sitting around a campfire enjoying a perfect Muscatine sunset, we have a great time.
We slow down a bit during the summer because we're at grandkids' ballgames, vacations and such, but September through April we meet once a month and it's always something different.
But we also believe that a church must have a social conscience.
1. We give a large portion of each week's offering to the Feeding Program at the Flickinger Center on Mulberry Street.
2. We support the Convoy of Hope Ministry to stop human trafficking.
3. We take collections of various items to give to Muscatine High School for the kids who are at a disadvantage for whatever reason. We collect personal hygiene items and individual portions of food and snacks for kids in need. This program is ongoing.
4. We have yearly outreach programs serving our community through drives for food, clothing, school supplies, help for our local Domestic Violence Shelter and other programs throughout the year.
5. We help clean the City's MuscaBus Fleet twice a year (spring and fall) to help get the busses looking their best for those who use the busses as their main transportation.


Sciuritoads are the "song birds" of Toci1 are are easily recognised by their various chirping, hooting and whistling. Generally, they are shaped like rodents with beaks and have horns that come in many different shapes. Sciuritoads actually share a common ancestor with the Fleels who also have beaks and both are completely unrelated to larger animals such as Forest Stalkers or Well Dragons. What sets them apart from other animals is their skins. Rather than shedding their skin gradually or instantly, Sciuritoads skin cells shed individually and form a chain that continues to lengthen with time. That chain gives the impression that the animal is covered with a greasy fur. That design provides the animal with warmth and unique colorations. The hair is more fragile than human hair for example and will easily break if caught, prevent predator from grabbing hold of them.
Hercules Sciuritoads were one of the first Sciuritoads discovered and one of the first animals identified on Toci1. They feed primarily on tough plants that they peel apart with their strong parrot-like beaks. Their fur is bright blue and, like other colorful "tropical" animals, they make their home in trees around the equator. The trees there grow noticeably taller, allowing them to climb out of reach of large ground dwelling predators. Males and females are equally colorful but males have large horns on their heads which they use to compete against one another for the right to mate. Like any other animal on Toci1, Hercules Sciuritoads have patterns near their eyes to protect them from sunlight and must hide during solar flares.
"The first aliens I actually thought of for Toci1 were actually not based off of classmates but of entries in the Chimera gallery on Worth1000. The ideas that some of these talented photoshoppers thought of were quite amazing and inspiring. The sciuritoads in general were inspired by entries that involved rodents with squirrel heads and sometimes animal horns. The Hercules Sciuritoad for example was inspired by this entry: www.worth1000.com/entries/1538… . This is part of why I am sometimes ashamed to consider Toci1 part of my universe because many of the lifeforms on the planet were not entirely of my imagination alone."
Sciuritoads have lived in trees throughout their evolution and do not have hooves like many of Toci1's megafauna.
Being small, Hercules Sciuritoads, like many of their relatives, rely on their songs to communicate with one another. They have large outer ears to catch these sounds and can tune-out unwanted songs like a well trained conductor.
Hercules Sciuritoads can live their entire lives without ever touching the ground.
