1800 Tequila have announced that this year's Essential Artists limited-edition series will celebrate the late, iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat will have the posthumous honor of being the artist featured in the sixth Essential Artist series, which over the years has featured a variety of talented artisans, including Gary Baseman, Studio One, and Shepard Fairey, among others. Known worldwide for his unique style and rebellious technique, Basquiat was selected as the sole artist for this year's release; this Spring six of his original designs will adorn a limited run of special edition 1800 Tequila bottles.
The limited edition 1800 Tequila Essential Artists series bottles (750ml/40% ABV) will be available at liquor stores in select markets beginning Spring 2014 for $30.
The full press release, as well as a feature with art critic Carlo McCormick discussing the life and influence of Jean-Michel Basquiat and his bottle collaboration with 1800 Tequila, can be found in the main article.
NEW YORK, NY – May 1, 2014 - 1800 Tequila is ecstatic to announce that this year's Essential Artists limited-edition series will celebrate the late, iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat will have the posthumous honor of being the artist featured in the sixth Essential Artist series, which over the years has featured a variety of talented artisans, including Gary Baseman, Studio One, and Shepard Fairey, among others. Known worldwide for his unique style and rebellious technique, Basquiat was selected as the sole artist for this year's release; this Spring six of his original designs will adorn a limited run of special edition 1800 Tequila bottles.
The Essential Artists series is an annual collaboration for the premium tequila brand that celebrates a dynamic range of original artwork and a chance for artists to take their designs and techniques beyond traditional mediums. Each of the artists selected for past series were recognized for being both influential and inventive within their respective genres. Basquiat, who cut his teeth as a graffiti artist, signified a radical spirit and an unrelenting unwillingness to compromise in his work, carving out an entirely individual portion of the neoexpressionist and primitivist movements. Similar minimalistic values live at the core of 1800's liquid; housed in a revolutionary bottle, 1800 Tequila is enjoyed best singularly, sans frills, garnishes, and superfluous trends. 1800 Tequila embodies minimalist drinking at it's finest.
Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His career in art spanned the late 1970s through the 1980s until his death in 1988 at the age of 27. Before his career as a painter began, Basquiat produced punk-inspired postcards for sale on the street and become known for his political–poetical graffiti under the name of SAMO. He carried his graffiti aesthetic into his professional career by incorporating text, repetitive imagery and cultural symbols into his paintings. Basquiat works are edgy and raw. Through a bold sense of color and composition Basquiat maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The Basquiat brand embodies the values and aspirations of young, international urban culture.
1800 Tequila is a super-premium tequila, renowned for being consistently smooth. Named after the year it was created, 1800 Tequila is 100% blue agave tequila grown on family-owned ranches and bottled in Jalisco, Mexico. Each bottle of 1800 Tequila is double-distilled for superior drinkability. 1800 Tequila is recognized for its superior smoothness and iconic packaging which includes a stopper that doubles as a shot glass.

Gearing up for the Cape Pioneer Trek
By Press Office, October 12, 2017
The 2017 Momentum Health Cape Pioneer Trek, presented by Biogen, is nearly upon us and this year's edition promises to be one of the most exciting yet. The seven day Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) accredited stage race boasts a field of riders from nineteen nations and takes place from Sunday the 15th to Saturday the 21st of October.

The event will also feature the biggest international coverage in its nine edition history; with daily news and highlight productions which will be available globally on Facebook and YouTube. Rather than limit the audience by broadcasting to television; Dryland Event Management have taken the decision to commission daily television quality productions for social media, which mountain biking fans can watch for free at 20:00 throughout the event.
"With international riders making up nearly 30% of the 2017 Momentum Health Cape Pioneer Trek, presented by Biogen, entrants it makes sense to provide their friends and families back home with the opportunity to watch the Cape Pioneer's daily highlight shows" Henco Rademeyer, of Dryland Event Management explained. "We would like the viewers to make full use of the superb quality of videos Bigshot Media will be producing. If they can only watch the shows on their cell phones or computers that is okay, but ideally we would like people to tune in on their smart TVs or cast the videos from their phones to their TVs in order to appreciate the beauty of the Garden Route and Klein Karoo. And of course to immerse themselves in the racing action, because the elite line up for this year's race is very exciting," Rademeyer concluded.

The elite women's race is arguably set to be more competitive than the men's race with Team Ascendis Health and Team Spur/Valencia going head-to-head in the battle for the pink jerseys. Reigning four time South African Marathon Champion Robyn de Groot has paired up with one of the most decorated mountain bikers in the world, Sabine Spitz, in the colours of Ascendis Health for the event. Spitz has won a full house of Olympic medals, a World Marathon Championship, World Cup races and multiple European and German titles.
"We are professional athletes, the goal for races is always the same – we are there to race out bikes with the main objectives being stage wins and overall victory. That said the goal is also to enjoy the more relaxed race 'vibe' that the Cape Pioneer Trek offers… if you are able to enjoy racing your bike it is always that much sweeter" De Groot stated before the race.
2016's form rider, Matt Beers is back to take on the Momentum Health Cape Pioneer Trek, presented by Biogen, this time with Alan Hatherly for Team Spur/Red-E. Photo by Zoon Cronje.
Somehow the most dominant female mountain biker in South Africa over the last two seasons has yet to win the Cape Pioneer Trek, having finish second twice. So she has unfinished business to attend to. "I missed the Pioneer last year, and promised myself it would be an objective in 2017" De Groot concluded, careful not to give too much away.
The Ascendis Health pairing will not have an easy run to the title though as 2013 champion Ariane Lüthi makes her Cape Pioneer Trek return with Amy-Beth McDougall. Lüthi has had a long season but the Team Spur rider is bullish about her form: "I felt that I still had something left in me this late in the season and the Cape Pioneer seemed like the right challenge. It's a tough race through beautiful terrain with a relaxed atmosphere – in short, perfect. Also the fact that the race has some UCI points to offer was attractive with the UCI World Cup in Stellenbosch in mind, where I would like to start as far in front as possible of course."

Lüthi's partner, McDougall, is riding in the colours of Valencia to make up the other half of the Team Spur/Valencia team. "I have had the season of my life so far. Although there is still much room for improvement, things came together really well this year and all the hard work over the years is paying off. Highlights would be winning the National marathon in Drakensburg, placing second at the national XCO at Cascades, fifteenth at World XCM Champs, and ladies winners of La Leyenda in Colombia with partner Sonya Looney" McDougall enthused ahead of the Cape Pioneer Trek.
The experienced women will be challenged for stage victories by an exciting young combination representing Junto. The team of Frances du Toit and Nicola Giliomee might be one of the youngest in the race, but they have the pace and technical skills to challenge for cherry picked stage victories. At just twenty years old Du Toit is the current South African under 23 Cross-Country Champion and the second youngest rider in the race – after nineteen year old Louis Visser, the young road cycling star signed for Dimension Data's development squad.

"I'm pretty nervous!" Du Toit responded forthrightly. "I haven't done a stage race longer than three days before and always shorter distances. But I'm racing with Nicky Giliomee who's got a few Pioneers and Epics under her belt and she'll help me with pacing myself and eating correctly. It's so exciting to line up big names like Sabine, Robyn and Ariane! I've grown up watching them race, so racing against them for the first time will be a special experience."
The elite men's race sees the defending champions, Nico Bell and Gawie Combrink of NAD Pro MTB go up against South Africa's rising mountain biking star Alan Hatherly; who will be pairing up with 2016's form ride at the Cape Pioneer Trek, Matt Beers.

Riding in the colours of Red-E, Beers, is half of Team Spur/Red-E. "I wouldn't say I was the strongest rider but I was very hungry and motivated to win. Unfortunately Erik fell ill on Stage One last year and then we had a really fun battle chasing back time" he reflected on the previous edition of the Cape Pioneer Trek. "I would say I have unfinished business for sure, because I think it is a race that really suits my strengths as a rider. Alan's riding speaks for itself though! He is an absolute animal and a very clever rider when it comes to racing. We live and train together so we understand and know each other extremely well, which is such a vital aspect in stage racing especially during long, seven day, races. If there is one guy I want to go it to battle with Nico and Gawie against its Alan" Beers concluded.
For his part the Spur representative in the team, Alan Hatherly was a little more circumspect in his pre-race talk: "2017 has been a really great year for me – every important event was targeted and prepared for, which means I have not really been 'over raced'. I've managed to get some really good preparation in so far for the Cape Pioneer and my numbers (watts) are looking spot on. I'm really excited to see what unfolds! Matt and I are a bit unsure of what to expect for Cape Pioneer, but we are definitely aiming for the podium spots. Just how high up on the podium we'll have to wait and see!"

The international assault on the Cape Pioneer Trek title will come from a strong European field with Netherland, Austria and the Czech Republic well represented. The KTM Pro Team of Manuel Pliem and Moritz Bscherer are making their race debuts while fellow Austrian Lukas Islitzer of the Craft - Rocky Mountain Factory Team has returned for another crack at the event with compatriot Sascha Weber.
Last year's solo men's champion, Jiri Krivanek is another rider returning to the Cape Pioneer Trek and this time he has done so with a partner in tow. Marek Rauchfuss completes the Czech combination and the duo will be riding in the colours of Kelly's Bikeranch. Krivanek was one of the most aggressive riders in last year's race and he will almost certainly be on the offensive from the starter's gun in Mossel Bay to the final finish line in Oudtshoorn.
The KMC Fruit to Go team of Bram Rood and Gerben Mos will be starting their third Cape Pioneer Trek on Sunday and Rood has fond memories of the event: "For us as European riders, it's special to ride in Africa. In Africa there are fantastic trails and a lot of great events like the Cape Pioneer. The organisation is great, it is like a holiday trip with a bit of racing. And it is the perfect moment to end our mountain biking season, especially with the nice weather."

In 2016 Rood's partner Mos found himself being chased down a section of singletrack by a juvenile giraffe, during Stage One. While it was a terrifying moment for the organisers the Dutch team looks back on it fondly. "Last year we have an amazing moment with the giraffe" Rood smiled.
The seven stages of the 2017 Momentum Health Cape Pioneer Trek, presented by Biogen, feature two journey stages – from Mossel Bay to George and from George to Oudtshoorn – and five exploration stages, including a mid-race time trial on Stage Four and the Queen Stage on Stage Six.

The race will once again be live Tweeted by Oliver Munnik on @CapePioneerTrek and mountain biking fans can see all the photos, taken by Zoon Cronje and Oakpics.com, on the Cape Pioneer Trek Facebook page. In addition to that the daily news and highlight videos can be watched online on the Dryland Event Management YouTube Channel and on the event's official Facebook page.

Virginia Student Faces Felony Charges After Brawl With School Officer
A school officer went to the hospital and a student went to jail after a brawl inside a Loudoun County, Virginia, high school cafeteria on Thursday, authorities say.
Video of the fight shows a Dominion High School student punching and a School Resource Officer punching and hitting each other.
The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened about 1 p.m. when an administrator at the school told the student to go to the office from the cafeteria.
Authorities say the student refused multiple times and assaulted the staff member.
Then, the deputy who works at the school tried going up to the student to calm him down, but the student turned and assaulted the officer, the sheriff's office said.
The officer "defended himself while taking the student into custody," according to the sheriff's office.
Medics took the deputy to a hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.

Disagreement in Treatment over Terminally-Ill Patient Leads to a Doctor and Carer Fist Fighting
A Broward County doctor is back on the job after hitting a man in the hallway of Memorial West Hospital during a heated disagreement about a patient's care in June.
But Matthew Coplan, who was struck by the doctor several times, said the video from the hospital's security cameras shows that Dr. William Sanchez has no business practicing medicine.
Sanchez took a leave of absence after the incident while authorities investigated. Broward County prosecutors have declined to press charges, saying Sanchez was defending himself. Coplan, who was hospitalized for several days after the fight, is considering filing a civil lawsuit.
On June 2, Coplan was acting as a health surrogate for a friend when he got into argument with Sanchez.
"He had terminal cancer. His kidney's had stopped functioning. He was out of rehab because his dialysis had been working, but then it stopped," Coplan said.
Coplan and another friend, grew concerned over medication Sanchez had prescribed, but when questioned, Coplan said Sanchez got angry.
"He walked to the door and said, 'F you' to me and then he walked out of the door throwing his hand up in the air," Coplan said.
In the video, Sanchez can be seen walking out and looking exasperated as Coplan followed him. Coplan said was demanding to speak to a supervisor.
That's when Sanchez turns and wags his finger in Coplan's face. Sanchez then grabs him by the shirt, shakes him and shoves him backward.
Coplan then swipes at Sanchez, but misses and things turn violent.
"He comes and punches me in the side of the head, and he puts his hands around my throat," Coplan said.
Coplan then swings his hat at Sanchez. The doctor retaliates with more punches before the two are separated.
Months later, Sanchez is back practicing and Coplan is not happy about it.
"I don't believe this man should be practicing medicine, I think his license should be taken from him," Coplan said.
Sanchez's attorney, Bruce Zimet, said the state attorney's office chose not to press charges because Sanchez was within his rights to defend himself.
Zimet also described Coplan's actions as "intolerable conduct" and said Sanchez is back to giving care to others.
Memorial West Hospital said Sanchez is not an employee of the hospital, but he does have privileges to practice there.
"Memorial Healthcare System is committed to providing a safe environment that promotes healing and compassionate care for its patients as well as a safe and collaborative work environment in which physicians and healthcare staff are empowered to advocate and care for patients," the hospital said in a statement. "We are pleased to learn that the Broward County State Attorney's office cleared Dr. Sanchez of any criminal charges."
As for Coplan, he and his attorney say they will be moving forward with charges against Sanchez in civil court.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office on Friday released a disturbing video that shows two teenage girls fighting. Deputies say the video also shows a woman coaching one of the girls during the brawl.
Giselle Reyes Felix, 36, is accused of instigating a fight between the girls. She was arrested on charges of Child Abuse and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor.
Neither girl was seriously injured during the fight, which happened on Nov. 29.
According to an arrest affidavit, Reyes Felix drove a 16-year-old girl to the area of where a 17-year-old girl lived in Kissimmee, because of problems between the two teens.
The 17-year-old victim was walking home from school when she heard a car horn and saw a car quickly approaching her. The 16-year-old suspect yelled at the victim and then attacked her, according to the affidavit.

Josh Gordon suspension rumors: NFL 'no longer trying to ban guys' for recreational drugs, marijuana
Josh Gordon of the New England Patriots is currently serving an indefinite suspension. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)Getty Images
By Nick O'Malley | nomalley@masslive.com
If Josh Gordon has has at any shot in being reinstated from his indefinite suspension, it's going to be entirely on him. Fortunately for the New England Patriots, it seems like the league's stance on recreational drugs may be softening.
In his commentary on Gordon's case, Jay Glazer of The Athletic stressed that the crux of the suspended Patriots receiver's case to get back into the NFL falls on him to convince the league that he's going to adhere to the substance abuse policies that are in place.
However, Glazer did note one major change that has been occuring on the league side.
"The NFL has changed their tune — they're no longer trying to ban guys from the NFL for these recreational drugs, especially marijuana," Glazer wrote. "They realize that a lot of them are using it for mental health and for anxiety issues. They're not trying to be like they used to be, which was zero-tolerance; they're trying to be more understanding these days."
Gordon is currently serving an indefinite suspension from the league after a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy in 2018, one of many infractions over the 28-year-old's seven-year career.
The Patriots have kept the Gordon situation at arm's length this preseason. While they made a financial commitment to him by bringing him back as a restricted free agent, they've stressed that the Gordon situation is one that is not going to be addressed at Gillette Stadium right now.
"We don't have anything to do with Josh Gordon," Bill Belichick said at the start of training camp. "He's suspended. You need to talk to the league. We have no control over Josh Gordon."
While the Patriots have remained mum on Gordon's status, quarterback Tom Brady appears to be maintaining a working relationship with him. Brady was spotted working out with Gordon during the offseason in an unofficial throwing session posted on social media.
However, Glazer reports that Gordon's application for reinstatement falls on how well he can convince the league that he's turned things around.
"This is on Josh Gordon to say, 'This is what I've done for my recovery, I'm clean and sober, this is how I plan on staying clean and sober, I deserve this chance,'" Glazer wrote. "He's got to convince them, not the other way around."
Gordon reportedly filed for reinstatement earlier this offseason. Until the NFL makes a decision either way, his status for 2019 (and onward) remains in limbo.

Save approximately 100 calories a day by switching from a bowl of cold, dry cereal to one of hot whole-grain with fruit. It keeps you feeling satisfied longer, is a healthier option and you can constantly switch your toppings to keep it interesting!
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rolled oats (old- fashioned) and 2 cups water, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer on low, covered, for 5 minutes.
Remove the sauce pan from heat and let stand, covered for 2 minutes before serving.
In two clean bowls, separate the eggs carefully so none of the yolk gets into the egg whites.
Add the remaining ingredients to the egg yolks and beat until smooth. Gently fold ⅓ of the egg white mixture into the banana mixture until roughly combined.
Fold half of the remaining eggs whites into the mixture and finally the last portion until everything is well combined.
Heat a skillet over low heat. Scoop ¼ c. of the mixture onto the skillet and cook for 60-90 seconds on each side.
OPTIONAL: Top with fresh fruit and/or ⅓ c. plain non-fat Greek yogurt mixed with 1 Tbsp. honey. Or 2 Tbsp. homemade Maple Syrup with no added sugar.


However, there was a limitation to this format. From looking at the spreadsheets, it helped me remember what I had read. The problem was, the specifics of the books sometimes became a blur.
I took notes and made highlights on the tablet but never gotten to the habits of exporting them. To my knowledge there wasn't really a easy way to do this through technology. I wonder if I should be keeping a book journal?
In the end, I loved reading. It was a sanctuary and a chance to get lost in a new world.

Let's leave Ontario's frosty weather and go…to equally cold climates?
This month, I am traveling to Norway and Sweden, taking a bit of a Scandinavia tour to countries that may be as cold as our own, but their beauty makes it worth the frostbite.
Be inspired to travel to Norway, even in the winter, with Karen Swan's The Christmas Lights.
Couple Zach and Bo are the free-spirited Instagrammers whose wanderlust account has millions of followers. The couple heads to exotic destinations and takes part in thrill-seeking experiences right across the globe, which is how the pair come to stay at an off-the-grid shelf farm, owned by mountain guide Anders and his grandmother, Signy, in Norway in the middle of winter.
Norway's beauty comes alive the moment the couple board Anders' boat.
Throughout The Christmas Lights ($24.99, Karen Swan, Publishers Group Canada), we get to experience the town of Alesund with its small wharf of colourful houseboats, see the Norwegian folk dance the Halling, explore The Suitor and Seven Sisters waterfalls, which, according to Bo, photographs don't do justice.
The 100-year-old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared is a laugh-out-loud book that will inspire you to visit Sweden and see the places this man has seen.
We get to cross Sweden with Allan Karlsson, a 100-year-old who decides to flee his Old Folks Home right before his birthday party. Along the way, he "borrows" a suitcase, boards a bus and disappears leaving behind a man who vows to kill him and full police hunt. Allan eventually meets a cast of characters and undergoes some truly funny situations.
At one point during Allan's travels, he returns to Sweden, finally visiting Stockholm.
The 100-year-old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared is by Jonas Jonasson ($16.99, HarperCollins.ca).
for an honest review. The opinions are my own.


The newly installed administration of Hailemariam Desalegn….
The newly installed administration of Hailemariam Desalegn has begun rolling itself, challenged from the outset with an impending drought, which will no doubt, test its competence to deliver close to one-ninth of Ethiopia's population from famine.
Those active in the international aid community, who were able to sound the alarm long before the situation reached to current national crisis, still stand their ground warning that the worst is still to come, according to gossip. Whether or not the rain will return in the coming six months is unpredictable and many in the aid community fear the impact may have the ability to pull the economy down into the oceanic abyss.
The gigantic task to see the drought pass without loss of human life, and with little impact on the economy rests with Hailemariam's new cabinet, gossip claims. It is indeed a new cabinet departed from the customs of the Revolutionary Democrats in more ways than one, according to gossip. For the first time in over two decades, it is a cabinet formed with less emphasis on political weight than on technocratic facility, claims gossip.
Unlike in the past, this is a cabinet with close to 98pc of its members without a background to the armed struggle. If there are few – such as Debretsion G. Michael (PhD) and Kassa T. Brehan – they had been viewed as relatively young during the years of the armed struggle, according to gossip. Every other member of the cabinet, including the Prime Minister and his deputy, joined the ruling party post 1991, after the end of the armed conflict, with the collapse of the military-Marxist regime.
Another interesting characteristic of the new cabinet gossip observed, is the teaching background many of the ministers share in common. Both the Prime Minister and his deputy were teachers before joining the ruling party in the early 1990s, while the Minister of Communications Affairs was a lecturer of law at Meqelle University.
It is such a cabinet with both civilian and academic backgrounds, which is committed by the Revolutionary Democrats to steer their government clear of troubles and continue with the nation's economic growth, perhaps the make or break factor in the EPRDFites' rule, gossip claims. An expansionary fiscal policy to finance the continued infrastructure development will remain its main focus. Thus, soliciting loans, grants and foreign direct investment will continue to be the principal preoccupation of the governing party, according to gossip.
Hailemariam is now determined to see a significant shakeup in the foreign office, where he had a brief stint before becoming Prime Minister, with a ratio of 70 to 30, the first comprising career diplomats, as opposed to political appointees. Not astonishingly, there will invariably be those stationed in overseas missions as political appointees; Shiferaw Jarso, director of Sugar Corporation, and Amin Abdulkadir, the departing Minister of Culture & Tourism, are among those expected to be appointed as ambassadors, gossip disclosed.
The Prime Minister's desire was well established after his determination to elevate Taye Asteqesellasie, a career diplomat now serving as principal of American Affairs' Directorate, to the office of State Minister. He will be one of the three newly appointed state ministers, where two new faces are due to come from OPDO and the Prime Minister's home party, SEPDP, gossip disclosed.
As a result, a series of changes expected on Menelik II Avenue, where senior diplomats who served for over five years are either promoted or reassigned to reflect the administration's desire for advancement of economic diplomacy, claims gossip.
From the headquarters, for instance, gossip foresees the appointments of Brehane G. Kirstos and Dewano Kedir, state ministers, as well as Mulie Tarekegn, Genet Teshome, and Metasebia Tadesse, directors of various departments to overseas missions.
Away from foreign service, Hailemariam is expected to name the Chinese trained Alemu Sime, state minister for Industry, moving from the same rank in his current position at the Ministry of Mines, gossip disclosed. As a former head of the Investment Commission with Oromia Regional State, the administration sees Alemu as a valuable hand in handling foreign investors, particularly in the manufacturing sub-sector, claims gossip.

Chesswood Announces Third Quarter 2021 Results
Home / news / Chesswood Announces Third Quarter 2021 Results
By Pawnee Leasing On November 5, 2021 0 Comment
TORONTO, November 4, 2021 – Chesswood Group Limited ("Chesswood" or the "Company") (TSX: CHW), a publicly traded North American specialty finance company providing commercial equipment leases & loans, business loans, and home improvement financing, today reported its results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Q3 2021 Highlights
Record gross finance receivables at quarter end of $1.4 billion, up 16% from Q2 2021
Record free cash flow generation of $10.2 million, or $0.55 per fully diluted share, up 22% from Q2 2021
Fully diluted EPS of $0.45, up 12.5% from Q2 2021
Successfully launched Vault Home, a new division of Chesswood serving the Home Improvement Finance sector
"The third quarter of 2021 once again demonstrates the momentum at Chesswood Group. Despite what is traditionally a seasonally slower quarter, we experienced net portfolio growth as a result of continued market share gains in Canada as well as continued execution by our vendor finance team in the United States, Tandem Finance," said Chesswood CEO Ryan Marr. "I am particularly pleased with Chesswood's shifting portfolio composition, increasing our exposure to high quality prime credits, whereby we can access more competitive financing in the Asset Backed Securitization markets. Subsequent to quarter end, Pawnee completed its third public securitization for US$356 million with strong investor demand and industry leading pricing. The success of our recent ABS results in interest savings of over 100bps versus our current cost of funds," added Marr.
"In addition, we completed the launch of our newly formed Canadian consumer business, Vault Home. Vault Home is managed by industry leaders John Stout and Kyle Wenn. We view the launch of Vault Home as a further example of Chesswood's expertise to partner with proven operators in niche lending channels. We continue to look for opportunities to expand into new verticals, further diversifying Chesswood's asset base," continued Marr.
Subsequent to quarter end, Chesswood announced the intended acquisition of RIFCO Auto Finance for $28 million, which will be financed using existing balance sheet liquidity. "The proposed acquisition of RIFCO further positions Chesswood as a diversified specialty finance company." Noted Marr, "We believe that RIFCO's platform will benefit from Chesswood's scale in North America and further their market reach across Canada."
Summary of Third Quarter Results
The Company reported consolidated International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) net income of $9.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $9.8 million in the same period in 2020, a decrease of $0.7 million year-over-year. Excluding the impact of provisions associated with COVID, net income is up $8.5 million year-over-year due to portfolio growth, lower charge-offs offset by higher operating costs.
On a constant currency basis to Q3 2020, net income would have been $2.5 million higher for the quarter (or $0.15 per share).
The U.S. Equipment Finance segment (Pawnee Leasing and Tandem Finance) reported interest revenue on leases and loans of $24.3 million and ancillary and other income of $3.1 million, a total increase of $3.6 million period-over-period. The increase is a result of continued strong originations throughout the period resulting in net portfolio growth.
The Canadian Equipment Finance segment reported interest revenue on leases and loans of $7.9 million and ancillary and other income of $1.7 million, a total increase of $6.0 million period-over-period. The increase is a result of a larger portfolio of receivables in our Canadian operations and a full quarter of results following the merger of Blue Chip and Vault Credit. Net Income for the three months would have been higher by $1 million excluding one-time costs associated with the merger.
Overall operating costs were up $7.1 million year-over-year to $16.8 million. Operating expenses were up primarily due to the previously announced merger as well as infrastructure supporting growth in the U.S. segment, resulting in an increase in average full-time employees for the period.
Free cash flow for the period was $10.2 million, up $5.6 million from Q3 2020. The increase in free cash flow is the result of low charge-offs in the period, compared to Q3 2020 and a larger overall receivables portfolio. In addition to these items, on a constant currency basis to Q3 2020, free cash flow would have been $2.1 million higher for the quarter.
Chesswood is now originating in excess of CAD$100 million per month of diversified, small ticket, commercial equipment leases and loans, and expect these strong origination volumes to continue into the end of the year. As a result of our successful ABS issue subsequent to quarter end, we are able to prefund a significant portion of our Prime volumes into year end at favorable market interest rates.
In addition to our focus on expanding Chesswood's origination volumes, we are continuously looking for opportunities to enhance our balance sheet and improve the quality of Chesswood's earnings. In Q4 we will officially launch Chesswood Capital Management (CCM). This new division of Chesswood will be led by Jeff Fields and will focus on providing private credit solutions to investors seeking exposure to loans originated by Chesswood subsidiaries.
Jeff joined the Chesswood Group board as an independent director in September of 2020, and previously spent 22 years at RBC Capital Markets as a senior executive managing businesses across RBC's equities and fixed income divisions, where Jeff was also a member of RBC's Global Markets Operating Committee. Jeff will continue to serve on the Chesswood Group board as an executive director.
Chesswood Capital Management will offer exposure to Chesswood's underlying assets through both CCM investment funds, as well as structured institutional vehicles. "CCM will provide private credit investors with access to Chesswood's differentiated and diversified loan portfolio in formats designed to offer attractive risk-adjusted returns", said Jeff Fields.
The CCM business will introduce a new stream of management fee revenue for Chesswood that is recurring in nature and accretive to ROE, thus improving the quality of Chesswood's earnings over time.

Accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Leave the Kids Alone! Except the Kindergarteners
09/03/2009 05:12 am ET Updated May 25, 2011
"Leave his kids alone!"
Thus spake the ex-almost-one-term governor of Alaska. She was talking about newly installed Acting Governor Sean Parnell and his "nice family." And the media, obediently heeding her hand-wringing plea, has not invaded Alaska to seek out the innocent children of Governor Parnell, even though he and his wife mention them all the time, and dangle them in front of cameras, and talk about their unplanned pregnancies and lemonade stands, and military service and basketball prowess to the national media, using them as examples of the kind of people the Parnells are. Oh, that's right. They don't.
Anyway ... the "leaving kids alone" philosophy shouldn't be applied too broadly, according to the Palins. The latest dastardly deed from Palin lawyer and Snidely Whiplash Wannabee, Thomas Van Flein, involves bringing down the iron-fisted, pointy-knuckled wrath of Sarah Palin in front of...(wait for it)... a classroom full of five-year-olds.
The Palin legal team thinks it's a great plan to keep threatening to sue people, like local Alaska bloggers and media outlets like the Washington Post and the New York Times because they won't "quit makin' things up." The last Alaska blogger to be threatened by Van Flein, Huffington Post contributor Shannyn Moore, knuckled under to intimidation by standing before a group of TV cameras and journalists in front of Palin's office and saying, "Sue me!" All eyes turned to the Palin camp. (crickets)
Never ones to learn a lesson from epic failure, they're at it again. The best way to deal with a strategy that didn't work last time? Try it again. This time, it's the newly outed blogger of The Immoral Minority blog who goes by the pseudonym Gryphen, and Dennis Zaki of The Alaska Report. Zaki and Gryphen each received an ominous letter from Van Flein this weekend. They each, citing separate sources, claim among other things that the Palin's are in "splitsville." This was met with an almost immediate Facebook response from Palin mouthpiece Meg Stapleton. Soon afterward, Van Flein had fired off an email to Gryphen.
This one had something new -- a time limit! That added a nice dash of drama...like one of those movies where you see the glowing red numbers on the explosive device ticking down... :05, :04, :03, :02, :01... and then exactly at 3:00pm... (crickets) Yup, the announced deadline, sent via email, came and went.
In addition, the letter included a thinly veiled threat to pull a "gotcha," by serving a complaint and summons in a kindergarten, where Gryphen works as an assistant. Way to keep kids out of it.
Apparently, it's only the kids of governors the Palins are concerned about. Regular Alaskan kindergarteners can just suck it up and watch Mr. Gryphen get served with legal papers by Snidely Whiplash during "circle time." Nice.
Non-government Mommies and Daddies can just deal with the emotional cleanup later. Maybe it's a good "teachable moment" about bullies.
This dubious legal strategy appears to do one thing, and one thing only successfully - make Alaska bloggers relevant to the conversation. If you give someone power, they have it. So, unless Palin's strategy is to shine the national media spotlight on everything the Alaska bloggers have been reporting about her transgressions and her track record in Alaska, and the big fat mess she's left the state to clean up, it might be a good idea to have Van Flein and crew take out one of those little roll-up rugs, and lie down in the corner with a book for some quiet time.

Excellent local control and survival after intraoperative and external beam radiotherapy for pediatric solid tumors: Long-term follow-up of the mayo clinic experience
Michael C. Stauder, Nadia N Laack, Christopher R. Moir, Paula J. Schomberg
Use of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for pediatric solid malignancies is generally limited by the tolerance of normal tissue in developing organs. Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) allows a more focal delivery of radiation dose because vital organs can be displaced and avoided during treatment. From February 1983 to July 2003, 20 children underwent IOERT for treatment of locally advanced or recurrent malignancies of the extremity or abdominopelvic area. All patients underwent EBRT and received IOERT doses of 7.5 to 25 Gy with 6-MeV to 15-MeV electrons. At a median follow-up of 11.6 years (range, 2.1 to 25.5 y), 13 patients (65%) were alive and without evidence of disease. Patients who underwent gross total resection had better local control (88% vs. 67%) and survival (71% vs. 33%) than patients for whom the resection was not achieved. Among 7 patients, 11 grade 3 toxicity events were reported. No grade >3 toxicities or second malignancies were observed during follow-up. Use of IOERT in combination with surgery and EBRT in management of pediatric solid malignancies provides excellent local control with reasonable toxicity. IOERT should be considered as an integral part of a multimodality regimen for pediatric solid malignancies, especially for patients with abdominopelvic malignancies.

The 34 Moving Average has acted as resistance, so the price is consolidating. It seems like the market is going to reach the nearest support at 1.1712 - 1.1683. If a pullback from this area happens, there'll be an opportunity to have an upward price movement towards the next resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1846.
The price is consolidating along resistance at 1.1757. If a pullback from the 55 Moving Average happens, bears are likely going to achieve the closest support between the levels 1.1727 - 1.1712. Nevertheless, we should keep an eye on the next resistance at 1.1784 - 1.1801 as a bullish target.

A: Now that I understand your question, let me give 2cents.
The nty chrome page is built with tables. Their custom jquery app called "solo" detects the size of the window, and refreshes the number of
 and 's based on the size of a window.
For example, if the window width is small, the table is recreated using jQuery so that only 's are displayed. If the window height is tall enough to display two rows, the table is reformatted and filled out with the extra stories (i assume with aJax although it would cost little to have the content on the page and show and hide the stories as needed).

El Pioneer 5 (també conegut com a 1960 Alpha 1, Pioneer P-2, i Thor Able 4) va ser una sonda espacial del programa Pioneer de la NASA utilitzat per investigar l'espai interplanetari entre les òrbites de la Terra i Venus. Va ser llançat l'11 de març de 1960 des del Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 17a a les 13:00:00 UTC amb una massa en òrbita en sec de 43 kg. És una esfera de 0,66 m de diàmetre amb quatre panells solars arribant a 1,4 m i va aconseguir una òrbita solar de 0,806 vegades; 0,995 UA (121.000.000 per 149.000.000 km).

Les dades es van rebre fins al 30 d'abril de 1960. Entre altres èxits, la sonda va confirmar l'existència de camps magnètics interplanetaris. El Pioneer 5 va ser la sonda de més èxit en les missions Pioneer/Able.

Disseny i instruments
La nau era una esfera de 0,66 m de diàmetre amb quatre panells solars que s'estenien per més d'1,4 m. Estava equipat amb quatre instruments científics:
 Un telescopi comptador proporcional de triple coincidència omnidireccional per detectar partícules solars i observar la radiació terrestre atrapada. Pot detectar fotons amb E > 75 MeV i electrons amb E > 13 MeV.
 Un magnetòmetre amb capçal giratori per mesurar el camp magnètic en el camp distant de la Terra, prop del límit geomagnètic, i en l'espai interplanetari. Era capaç de mesurar els camps d'1 microgauss a 12 mil·ligauss. Consistia en una bobina única que estava muntada a la nau espacial, de manera que es mesurava el camp magnètic perpendicular a l'eix de gir de la nau espacial. Es podria emetre els seus mesuraments en analògic com en format digital.
 Una cambra d'ionització integradora de tipus Neher i un tub Geiger-Müller Anton 302 (que va funcionar com un detector de raigs còsmics) per mesurar la radiació còsmica. Es va muntar de manera normal a l'eix de rotació de la nau espacial.
 Un espectròmetre de moment lineal de micrometeorits (o detector de micrometeorits) que consistia en dues combinacions de diafragma i micròfon. Es va utilitzar per mesurar la quantitat de partícules de pols de meteorits i l'impuls d'aquestes partícules.

Missió

La nau espacial va retornar les dades recollides pel magnetòmetre al camp magnètic i es va mesurar que el camp mitjà interplanetari sense pertorbacions va ser d'uns 5 γ ± 0.5 γ en magnitud.
La nau espacial també va mesurar partícules d'erupcions solars, i la radiació còsmica a la regió interplanetària. El comptador de micrometeorits va deixar de funcionar com també es va saturar el sistema de dades i va fallar en operar correctament.

Les dades digitals gravades es transmetien a 1, 8, i 64 bit/s, depenent de la distància de la nau des de la Terra i la mida de l'antena receptora. Les limitacions de pes de les cèl·lules fotoelèctriques va impedir el funcionament continu dels transmissors de telemetria. Al voltant de quatre operacions de 25 minuts de durada van ser programades per dia, amb augments ocasionals en moments d'especial interès. Un total de 138,9 h d'operacions realitzades, i més de 3 megabits de dades rebudes. La major part de les dades van ser rebudes pel radiotelescopi Lovell a l'Observatori de Jodrell Bank al Hawaii Tracking Station perquè les seves antenes de recepció estaven sempre en xarxa. Les dades van ser rebudes el 30 d'abril de 1960, després de la qual cosa el soroll de telemetria i el senyal dèbil va fer impossible la recepció de dades. El senyal de la nau va ser detectada per Jodrell Bank des d'una distància rècord de 36,2 milions de km el 26 de juny de 1960, tot i que era massa difícil per a llavors l'adquisició de dades.

Cleantech Invest Plc has acquired a stake of 10% in Eagle Filters Oy from previous shareholders.
Eagle Filters improves the efficiency and capacity of gas fired power plants with a new type of air filtering solution. The company's solution is in use in multiple locations in Europe and Asia, and annual savings of several million euros per gas turbine have been achieved and verified at customer sites.
Typically the performance of a gas turbine declines over time, and it needs to be washed periodically in order to regain its original efficiency and capacity. Using Eagle Filter's solution, the performance stays almost intact, and the need for washing is reduced to one in annual outage. The fuel efficiency gains coupled with increased capacity and availability result in significant savings for gas fired power plants operated by utilities. Natural gas amounts to over 20% of world's primary energy use.
Eagle Filters provides air filtration solutions that significantly improve the performance of gas fired power plants. By using Eagle Filters, utilities can improve efficiency, availability and capacity of their current power production portfolio. Eagle Filters employs 9 people in Finland. The company has been accepted into a debt restructuring process in order to improve its financial position and growth opportunity.
