Your doctor may order a coronary scan to help make decisions regarding your risk of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke. You do not need this test if you are not at risk of heart disease.
You will need to remove jewelry and may be asked to wear a gown. Small pads called electrodes are put on your chest. These are connected to an EKG machine to measure the electrical activity of your heart.
Then you will lay down on the table connected to the CT machine, which will slide into the opening. The scanner will move around your body, and the table will move every few seconds to get different angles.
While the pictures of your heart are taken, you could be asked to hold your breath for a short amount of time (20-30 seconds).
No, a coronary calcium scan is painless. However, some patients find laying in one position for a long time to be difficult.
A coronary calcium scan usually takes about half an hour.
Drink plenty of fluids in the 24 hours before your exam. If your exam includes contrast, do not eat anything for four hours before your exam. Avoid strenuous activity 24 hours in advance of your study. Medications may be taken with a small amount of water. If your exam includes oral contrast, you must drink it 2 hours before your exam. When you arrive for the exam you will be given another cup to drink. Please call our offices if you have a history of contrast reactions/allergies.

Private security a growing industry in Greenwich
By Debra Friedman, STAFF WRITER
Black iron gates and private driveways are commonplace in Greenwich, a town that values privacy and can afford to keep outsiders at a distance.
But with hedge fund chief executives worth billions and swarms of celebrities calling Greenwich home, many people have the option to take their personal security to a completely different level.
From bodyguards packing pistols to teams of private security officers surveying backcountry estates, security companies in the area say Greenwich is a prime location for thieves to target, which also makes it a hub for wealthy clientele.
"Obviously, you have law enforcement that are there as a deterrent," said Michael Wanik, vice president of consulting and investigation for SSC Inc., a private security company based in Shelton. "However, they can't be everywhere at all times."
Wanik said that while any community can be at risk in today's world, Greenwich and the Fairfield County area in general may be a target to some because of the perception of wealth.
"In Greenwich, there may be a different kind of opportunity, maybe a different level of threat or wealth, or many times just the perception of wealth," said Wanik.
A prime example of how Greenwich residents can become targets occurred in 2003 when billionaire Edward Lampert, the chairman of Kmart and ESL Investments, was kidnapped at gunpoint from the parking garage of his Greenwich office and taken to a Days Inn in Hamden. He was released unharmed two days later after promising to pay his captors $40,000, federal prosecutors said.
Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg said Lampert's kidnapping revealed a unique threat to Greenwich because of the wealth and stature that some people in the community hold.
"That's an example of someone who had a life event occur and now security is more of a priority," said Ridberg, noting that retired Greenwich cops were once heading up Lampert's security team. "I think wealthy people do need to be concerned that they might be targets, especially if they are high-profile, whether celebrity or business."
Due to the high concentration of wealth in town, Ridberg said the department often has to provide assistance on security details, such as when dignitaries come to town. Many people in the community also hire off-duty police officers for security.
"If a corporate executive is threatened, they may hire officers to be up on the property for a week or two," said Ridberg. "If it's a full-time gig, we would have to assign an officer who would run the job."
One of the newer private security companies in the area is Executive Protection Associates, a company based in Greenwich that contracts out former military and law enforcement personnel for security assignments.
Stephen McLeod is executive director of the company and said he felt Greenwich was very much in need of having additional security options.
"I think the local law enforcement is the best in the country," said McLeod. "But I also think there were security breaches that needed to be tended to."
McLeod said his company offers a variety of services from trained bodyguards and drivers to surveillance and corporate espionage investigators.
"This is regarded as the nicest town in the country," said McLeod. "People have money and they want to keep it."
Simon Oram is a top-tier agent with the company and has his own New York-based security consulting firm as well. Oram was trained as a sniper in the military and ran security operations for a hedge fund.
"Generally what you are finding is people getting services depending on the threat," said Oram. "Entry level is putting an alarm on your house and security cameras. The next level is to have a driver that is trained in both defensive and offensive driving techniques."
Oram said the levels continue up to having a force of private security officers who are tactically trained to blend in and whose No. 1 goal is to protect their "principal," or client.
"Law enforcement are trained to take cover and return fire," said Oram. "Executive protection's job is to get the principal out of the way. So it's a little bit of a different mindset."
Ridberg said he knew of a "fair amount" of private security teams employed by people in town and was hoping to put together an official list in the future. Private officers, who are mainly retired cops and former military men and women, are not required to register in the town. However, according to state law, private security companies must register themselves and all their employees with the state Department of Public Safety. If they are armed, the officers must obtain a "blue card."
Ridberg said law enforcement officers are always in charge at the scene of a crime, no matter if private security officers are employed at the property or not. While Ridberg said he did not know of any instances when private security officers clashed with law enforcement, a recent string of incidents at the estate of print magnate Peter Brant put the issue of private security officers on the radar.
Police responded to Brant's North Street estate several times in June after Brant's estranged wife, supermodel Stephanie Seymour, and members of Brant's private security operations were involved in a scuffle.
One security officer, Joseph Babnik, a retired cop from Carmel, N.Y., was charged with disorderly conduct after Seymour alleged he shoved her during a dispute. Babnik has pleaded not guilty. The incident revealed that Brant, who is estimated to be a billionaire, had several officers working on his property around the clock.
Ridberg said he had to call a meeting between the lawyers for Seymour and Brant because the department was expending too many resources responding to calls.
"We just felt it was not a good circumstance and endeavored to work something out," said Ridberg, noting that there had not been any problems since that time.
Another incident that sparked attention was when a bodyguard for television and film star and former Greenwich resident Rosie O'Donnell, a staunch gun-control advocate, applied for a gun permit to be authorized to carry a weapon while dropping her son off at school in 2000. O'Donnell responded by saying it was necessary to protect her son and later moved out of town after the incident ignited a firestorm of criticism.
Wanik said private security is an ever-expanding business that is continually changing with the times and becoming increasingly sophisticated.
"Now there are more professional officers who provide greater service than the old stereotype of a watchman with a thermos by his side sleeping at a guard desk," said Wanik. "It's an exciting time in the industry."

what about the screen, is it glass or plastic???!!
isup, 27 Jun 2009hi guys using the nokia 5800 xpress music want a little help from you do you think it`s wort... morebuy the Nokia N97, ok it's more expensive than the 5800 but it's the latest technology, I can't stop using mine.


This beautifully written book will definitely be on my list of top 10 books of 2017. I absolutely loved it - the characters, the plot and most of all the beautiful writing. I feel like I know these people and miss them now that the novel is done.
Amazon affiliate links are used on this site. A copy of the book was won at Goodreads.
The novel is set in 1970 and is about the Flynn family - mom, dad, 2 boys and 3 girls. When they were growing up Billy and his sister Nell were always close and spent a lot of time together. Now Billy is coming home wounded in a helicopter crash in Vietnam. He has scars that can be seen but the internal pain is just as bad and more difficult to heal. He returns to his family home to try to recover by being in his familiar place with his family and especially his sister but as much as they try to help him, the more he pushes them away. Billy searches for his normal life but because of the changes in him and in the county, there is only a new normal and he can't learn to live in it.
This is a world of distrust of the government over a useless war and seeing it all played out every night on the evening news. Not only is the country divided but families face huge chasms in the understanding between generations.
A Catalog of Birds is a novel about love within a family and forgiveness of those we love.
Laura Harrington does a fantastic job of painting a picture of what was going on in America in the early 70s - the war protests on campuses, the questioning of the government leadership by most people and the soldiers coming back with wounds both seen and unseen as they struggled to go back to living their lives like they did before their time in Vietnam.
I loved this novel and highly recommend it.

Rum's Revenge
In a brick warehouse in Brooklyn, a former nuclear engineer is re-inventing—and hopefully reviving—America's original spirit.
Issue: Summer 2017
Topics: Farming, Food, and Alcohol, Science, Engineering, and Invention
Locations: New York, USA
Materials: Plants, Water, Wood
Daniel Preston is a distiller with an energetic curiosity. Before he founded Cacao Prieto, he used his expertise in mechanical and aerospace engineering to launch a company that made parachutes for the defense industry and also developed the guidance system for the Cassini spacecraft. Which makes one wonder whether making good rum really is rocket science.

It's Not an Art
A Colonial Craze
The Color of What's in Your Glass
For More on the Subject...
In the mid-seventeenth Century, Captain Henry Morgan was an English privateer who became famous for leading an outfit of pirates on ransacks throughout the Spanish Caribbean, amassing, in the process, a fortune that in 2008 Forbes estimated to be worth $13 million. Today, he is the face of Captain Morgan rum, staring out from one in three bottles of rum sold in America.
Pirates and the Caribbean; plundering and palm trees—and coconuts, and paper umbrellas, and tiki torches. For decades, rum for the American drinker, at its best, has conjured images of the tropics. At its worst, it has probably conjured something else, or little at all—unpleasant mornings and throbbing afterthoughts of rum and cokes, or any of a number of neon, saccharine tropical juices.
But rum is far more than sugar-laden debauchery. Though its origins are in the Caribbean, rum's history is deeply entwined with the development of the colonial world. In North America in particular, it has a legitimate claim to being the United States' original drink, enjoying widespread popularity long before whiskey. On the cusp of the American Revolution, Americans downed millions of drams of rum a year, much of it produced by distilleries located within the Thirteen Colonies.
Preston is a polymath, with technical leanings and a thirty thousand-foot view of whatever occupies him. Yet he gives the impression of someone who lives in a constant state of improvisation.
Rum production in America ceased shortly after the Revolution, replaced by that of whiskey. For the next 200 years, it remained (with a few exceptions) an afterthought in America's liquor cabinet. In the last decade, however, amid a wide boom in craft spirits, rum—like whiskey, gin, and tequila—has taken on a new dimension of connoisseurship. In response to this trend, or as its provocateur, innovative small-batch distillers in the U.S. created a plethora of sophisticated new rums, suitable for mixing in complex drinks or sipping on their own. Today, over one hundred distilleries are producing rum in the United States, up from close to none just five years ago, said Bill Owens, the president of the American Distilling Institute, a trade organization for the craft distilling industry.
One of these distilleries is located far down an industrial stretch of Conover Street in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook, a few blocks from the waterfront and the IKEA ferry dock, in a Dutch-style, red-brick warehouse. The building looks like the type that's long been a stalwart of the neighborhood—a way station for the bustling trade that made Red Hook, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the busiest port in the world. Three quarters of a century later, the container industry had moved elsewhere, and blight took over, leading Life magazine to name Red Hook one of the worst neighborhoods in the country. Yet by the turn of the 21st century, the industrial fossils of the boom times had become the new urban cool. The old brick warehouses have now been immaculately restored amid Brooklyn's relentless gentrification.
Preston designed the Cacao Prieto building in the Dutch Renaissance style, to match the historical architecture of the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn. Red Hook was originally founded by the Dutch in the mid-Seventeenth Century, when New York City was known as New Amsterdam and Brooklyn was an expanse of farmland.
Actually, the building that houses this distillery is of much newer vintage, built for the enterprises of its owner, Daniel Prieto Preston, who makes an unusually innovative rum here. Part of the reason is that this facility is one part distillery and one part chocolate factory, jointly called Cacao Prieto. The paired operations create an odoriferous mix of sharp, chocolaty aromas layered over the yeasty scent of fermenting alcohol—a beguiling combination that let me know I was near my destination when I came visiting earlier this year.
Preston's distillery also produces Widow Jane whiskey, which workers were bottling when I arrived. Despite the building's small size, there is equipment for both the alcohol and chocolate making operations everywhere, much of it designed by Preston himself. The clank of the bottling line reverberated off the still— an immaculate centerpiece with a silver base and a tapering copper neck that distillers reverently refer to as a "swan"—echoing throughout the tasting room. Preston brought me around to a small courtyard at the center of the building, where we were joined by the small flock of chickens Preston keeps to turn a bit of the whiskey's grain waste into hearty eggs. (The chickens, too, were an experiment of sorts—when Preston ordered them from the Murray McMurray hatchery, he purchased an assortment of exotic breeds and has let them cross ever since.)
Originally trained as a chemical and nuclear engineer, Preston is a polymath, with technical leanings and a thirty thousand-foot view of whatever occupies him. Preston gives the impression of someone who lives in a constant state of improvisation. (Just getting him to commit to an appointment, for example, takes multiple conversations with an assistant and requires comparing calendars with an astrologer's precision.) When he speaks, though, his voice is low and measured, with the delayed delivery that suggests very careful thinking. Which the novelty of this enterprise seemed to need.
As Brooklyn has gentrified over the last decade, it has developed into one of the epicenters of the craft movement. Twenty years ago, when Preston started his first business in Red Hook, the area was considered so rough that taxi drivers refused to go there. Legend has it that the neighborhood was where Al Capone, before he was Prohibition's most famous bootlegger, received the cut on his cheek that gave him the nickname "Scarface."
The origins of Cacao Prieto grew out of his success with the previous company to occupy the building, Atair Aerospace, which manufactured precision parachute systems for the defense industry. In 2009, when Preston sold that company (now owned by Boeing), he found himself with some capital, a stringent non-compete clause, and a desire to do something new.
"You wouldn't have a winemaker stomp his grapes in the mud and hope it tastes good in a week. You try to do it in a very clean way, and that's the philosophy we brought to cacao fermentation."
Preston grew up in New York City, but his father was born in the Dominican Republic, where his family, originally from Spain, traces its heritage back to the 19th century. Shortly after he was freed of his duties at Atair, Preston decided to meet his family in the Dominican Republic for what ended up being a bit of a genealogy trip. At one point during his visit, Preston expressed some interest in visiting a cacao farm. To his surprise, one of his relatives said, "Oh, we have a cacao farm. We haven't been there in twenty years, but you should check it out." He did and, he says, "I fell in love with it and took it over."
From the comfort of his stratospheric perch, Preston prides himself on identifying waste streams, finding a use for them, and organizing the entire operation into a "vertically integrated" company (meaning an enterprise where one can control the entire production process). This allows him to use any of the operation's byproducts himself, which creates yet another opportunity to make something new to sell. When he took over the cacao farm Preston did just that. "What most people don't realize," Preston explained, as we stood near bins of roasted and raw chocolate, which he would later let me smell to understand the one of the critical transformations cacao goes through, "is that chocolate is a fermented food." And your byproduct is alcohol. "Everyone thinks sucrose plus yeast gives you carbon dioxide and ethanol," Preston said, as a way of explaining the broad outlines of fermentation, but actually "there are fifty-two steps between there."
What we typically call cacao beans are, technically, the seeds of the theobroma cacao tree. Indigenous to the rainforests of Central and South America, the plant has been used by humans making chocolate (for both food and drink) for thousands of years. The word "cacao" is derived from the Aztec word "xocolatl," meaning bitter water.
Alcohol is produced in fermentation when yeast — either ambient yeast from the air or that introduced deliberately by a beer, wine, or spirits maker — feeds on sugar and converts it to alcohol. The sugar can come from anywhere: for wine, it comes from grapes; for cider, it comes from apples or pears; for beer, it comes from grain, once those grains have been germinated or "malted." (For dandelion wine, which my mother claims my great-grandparents made, it comes from, well, dandelions.) With chocolate, surprisingly, that sugar does not originate in the cacao seeds themselves but from the pulp that surrounds the seeds. In tropical environments, that pulp has a tendency to spontaneously ferment in a mere four to six hours.
In cacao, that spontaneous fermentation develops flavor in the seeds, which are then roasted to produce chocolate. For most chocolatiers the role of that sugary pulp ends there—they, after all, are in the business of selling chocolate not alcohol. As a result, many chocolatiers regard the leftover alcohol as just that: a byproduct to be discarded. Since their intention isn't for it to be drunk, they don't give the alcohol much care. (There are exceptions, though. New World Spirits in New York has been buying cacao pulp recently from growers in Peru, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic to produce a new liquor called Solbeso.) Without careful attention, though, the fermentation will literally run wild—with whatever yeasts and microbes have ended up in the mixtures. The result is a fermented liquid that, if consumed, tends to be "pretty rank," Preston says. "It ends up being more a skanky vinegar than a nice alcohol."
But it is alcohol. And just seeing it got Preston wondering whether, with a little care, if it could be turned into something that someone might love to drink. In other words, perhaps this was an opportunity for an entirely new kind of spirit: one made from the juice of his own cacao fruit.
Drawing on his background in chemical engineering, Preston tried to control the cacao fermentation with a "biopharmaceutical reactor." The device—which looks like a giant metallic medicine capsule, with a porthole held down with enough bolts to sequester the bubonic plague—is typically used in drug manufacturing to precisely control how microorganisms interact with chemicals. His goal was to precisely break down, understand, and organize the fermentation process in ways that chocolate makers had rarely done before. Once he had some insight into how cacao juice fermentation really worked, he took what he had learned in the lab and brought it back to his cacao farm.
Preston is one of the few rum makers to see the potential synergy between chocolate and rum, the latter of which he started making from chocolate's alcoholic waste. The item in the photo over the table is God's gift to this synergy: a cacao seed pod.
As he developed his system, Preston was struck by the contrast between the haphazard approach to fermentation practiced by chocolatiers and the more careful methods used by winemakers, who want to keep their unfermented grape juice free of unpleasant pathogens. "When I started this, my first thought was that you wouldn't have a winemaker stomp his grapes in the mud and hope it tastes good in a week," Preston said. "You try to do it in a very clean way, and that's the philosophy we brought to cacao fermentation." In essence what he was producing was like a wine or a cider; it was the fermented juice of a fruit, but instead of that juice coming from grapes or apples, it came from cacao.
Unlike wine or cider, however, Preston found there wasn't enough sugar in the cacao fruit juice to produce the requisite amount of alcohol needed to preserve the beverage, and thus keep it from going bad. Moreover, he learned that sugar levels in cacao fruit vary considerably—a condition antithetical to the precisely controlled production process Preston was seeking. To remedy the problem, he added some sugar from sugarcane—the starting point for the making of rum. Then he fermented the combination, which raised the alcohol content as well.
IT'S NOT AN ART
"If you're here for the art, I am sorry to say, there is none," Preston explains in a lecture about distilling. "It's only art if you don't know what your variables are and have to use your sixth sense to replicate it."
When yeasts consume sugar in a mash or wash, they produce a number of different chemicals that can have a significant influence on the final aroma and flavor of the spirit. Called congeners, some of them are delicious, others putrid; the exact mix depends on several variables — a word Preston uses frequently when talking about distilling — such as temperature of the mash and the variety of the yeast.
People can perceive flavor and aroma compounds even if they are only present in amounts of a few parts per billion. So when a distiller creates such a compound during fermentation, it impacts the final product. "What makes a master distiller is fermentation," Preston says. At Cacao Prieto, Preston uses a refrigerated room in the distillery's basement for his fermentation. By chilling the wash this way, he's able to slow the action of the yeast, extending his fermentation to four to five days, instead of the eighteen hours typical at larger rum distillers. Doing so changes the chemicals the yeast produce.
Preston believes so much in the importance of controlling the temperature in a mash that when he gives lectures on the science of distilling at the American Distilling Institute, he passes around samples of rum fermented at different temperatures. At some, the audience will remark that notes of honeysuckle predominate, in others banana bread. Once they've speculated on the difference, Preston will reveal what he changed: the fermentation temperature by a mere one-degree Celsius. "I go that extra one-degree difference and all of these genes change and all of my chemical spectrums change," Preston said.
Though the basics of distilling have been known since antiquity, modern stills like Preston's are often outfitted with a complex array of computer equipment and mechanics. This allows them to be transformed into an entirely different still, for a different spirit, almost on the fly.
This lecture, ostensibly on the art and science of distillation, Preston considers essentially an advanced science class. It even includes the requisite Powerpoint: "The first slide is: if you're here for the art, I am sorry to say, there is none," he says. "It's only art if you don't know what your variables are and have to use your sixth sense to replicate it."
Preston's rum differs from that found on most liquor-store shelves, not just for the fastidiousness of its fermentation, but also for the way it is distilled.
Preston uses a pot still, which, in many fundamental ways, resembles the design of stills in use since antiquity and now preferred by many craft distillers. These require multiple distillations, but they also allow more of those flavor- and aroma-producing chemicals to make it into the final product. (Large distilleries of course look for ways to speed and simplify their operations, so they tend to use "continuous column stills," which can produce a high-proof spirit without multiple distillations.)
Preston has also outfitted his still with a computer-controlled system that allows him to isolate and separately bottle tiny portions of the distilling run. These segments, called cuts, means he can focus on specific flavors—say, honeysuckle—in the liquor that would otherwise be lost if they were mixed together.
All together, this small-batch system and ability for precise control, allows Preston to indulge his passion for experimentation. As much as he talks about consistency, he isn't interested in doing the same thing over and over again. Preston has already produced a few rums that push even more boundaries, including a chamomile rum that won a silver medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. He's also produced rums made from the mixture of his rum and his cacao. Named after family members, his Don Rafael Cacao Rum and Don Esteban Cacao Liqueur are then aged in oak barrels.
Preston does add some sugar after distillation to sweeten his Don Esteban Cacao Liqueur—a practice that has, when done in excess, contributed to rum's reputation as a vulgar party drink. Nonetheless, Preston has managed to create a balance that spirits critic Lou Bustamante wrote in Wine and Spirits magazine helps "take the edge off cacao's natural bitterness" but is not overly sweet. He has also started using his whiskey barrels to age his some of his rum, in an effort to bridge a yawning gap between the popularity of the two spirits. (There are twice as many distillers of whiskey now in America as there are of rum. Even at Cacao Prieto, whiskey is its biggest seller.)

Whereas fermentation can be seen as the pre-industrial method of alcohol production —it can even occur just fine without human interference — distillation is firmly a mechanical, and deliberate, process. See sidebar.
Any alcoholic liquid that has been distilled is based on what it's made from: whiskey comes from the distillation of beer; brandy, that of wine or cider; and rum, that of fermented sugarcane or any of its byproducts.
The new drink that Preston was making didn't fit into any of those categories, however—it wasn't exactly a brandy, because he'd used some sugarcane; it wasn't precisely a rum either, because he'd started with cacao fruit juice. It was, more or less, a rum-brandy hybrid. But to Preston it was a science experiment that got him even more interested in alcohol production.
While the path that led him to his rum-brandy hybrid started with a painstaking attention to the fermentation of cacao, once he got there and decided to start making rum, he applied an equal fastidiousness to that one of rum's classic ingredients—as defined by its Caribbean heritage.
Like the region's other islands, Hispaniola—the island shared today by the Dominican Republic and Haiti—was transformed by the development of sugarcane, which followed European colonization. All the Europeans wanted from the sugarcane was its crystalized sugar. When sugar is refined through boiling, however, it leaves a dark-brown and viscous liquid behind called molasses. As sugar production took over the Caribbean, planters found themselves with vast quantities of essentially worthless molasses as a byproduct. At first they disposed of it in feed for their livestock and issued it in rations to their slaves. When that didn't even get rid of all of it, they dumped it into the sea.
For many drinkers, expertly produced small-batch whiskey—like the kind produced in these barrels at Cacao Prieto—was their first introduction to America's recent craft-distilling boom; not surprisingly, whiskey remains the most popular craft-distilled spirit. Preston's whiskey is called Widow Jane, and he ages some of his rum in their used barrels to lend them a hint of whiskey flavor. This might create a drink, he hopes, that will lure whiskey aficionados into becoming rum connoisseurs.
While the molasses could not be further refined, it still contained sugar, the precious precursor to alcohol. Once the Caribbean sugar barons built systems for the alchemy of distillation, they suddenly found themselves with a profitable outlet for all that waste.
Soon rum production became as important an income source for the Caribbean planters as the crystallized cane sugar itself—and a still as necessary a piece of equipment on a plantation as a sugar refinery. (Preston, whose family also owned Dominican sugar fields prior to the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, suspects he isn't the first in his family to distill rum: he has a hydrometer, used to measure alcohol content, that was once owned by one of his great grandfathers.)
Once the Caribbean planters and merchants got a taste of rum, it quickly coursed through the veins of the colonial economy, spreading its heady effects throughout the empires, but primarily to the colonies on the North American continent.
Rum after the American Revolution was identified as the libation of a dependent people. So newly freed Americans began drinking whiskey made from grain grown by honest hardworking Americans. Rum became an afterthought.
For many Caribbeans molasses, with its new-found application to rum making, became the primary item of trade. By the mid-eighteenth century, just over a century since rum's popularization, the thirteen American colonies were importing well in excess of four million gallons of molasses a year. To process it all, rum distilleries opened up all over the Eastern seaboard — in Massachusetts alone there were more than sixty, which conservative estimates claim issued nearly one-million gallons of rum annually.
When the American Revolutionary War broke out, tea was not the only taxed item that provoked rebellion. Molasses, too, fell into dispute. Soon, molasses and rum imports into the thirteen colonies plummeted. Ultimately, though, the reason for rum's death was cultural, identified as it was as the libation of a dependent people. "Following the war, rum took on a whiff of national weakness and vulnerability, and became a small emblem of financial imprisonment," wrote Wayne Curtis in his history, And a Bottle of Rum. As a result, the newly freed Americans began drinking whiskey made from grain grown by honest hardworking Americans. Rum became an afterthought.
The end of colonialism in the Western Hemisphere led to a transformation of the rum industry in the Caribbean, which in turn spawned the rum industry familiar to modern drinkers today: one dominated by a few large distilleries issuing cheap rum suitable for sugary drinks.
Like most makers of alcoholic libations, Cacao Prieto offers a tasting room; anyone wishing to linger longer can step next door, where an affiliate bar, Botanica, offers a range of cocktails made from Preston's rum and whiskey.
One thing that did not change, however, was the use of molasses left over from sugar production. Historically, rum distillers have tended to use the lowest grade: blackstrap, which is also known as "third boil" because it's made from the third and last boiling of the molasses for sugar extraction. When Preston was setting up his distillery in Brooklyn, he vowed to never use blackstrap molasses. "That is basically industrial waste that sugarcane companies have to pay people to pick-up and remove," Preston said. Instead, he turned to first-boil molasses made from organic sugarcane grown in the Dominican Republic.
"The results were mind blowing," he says.
Preston found the first-boil molasses, which contains more sugar and is less bitter than blackstrap, gave his rum a floral note, reminiscent of the aromatic cacao fruit juice and sugarcane rum-brandy he had started out making.
"We like making perfumey rums," he explained. "If you look at what influences whether you like the way something tastes, smell is more important than taste, so when we produce rums we are chasing aromatics."
THE COLOR OF WHAT'S IN YOUR GLASS
Experimentation seems to be a central ethos in the craft distilling industry. "Think of somebody who is a woodworker," says Lance Winters, master distiller at Alameda, Calif.-based St. George Spirits, where he makes a style of rum vastly different from Preston's called rhum agricole. "Some of them are specializing in cabinetry, but a lot of them make different pieces," he says, arguing that craft distillers aim for the same kind of variety.
"Rum is the wild, wild west," said Martin Cate, the owner of the San Francisco bar Smuggler's Cove, which has in stock nearly 550 different bottles of rum. "It's made in over one hundred countries, on every continent on earth except Antarctica. Everybody has his own styles, techniques, methodologies; it has very little in common other than its origin within the sugarcane."
One particularly frustrating source of confusion, Cate said, lies in the fact that color manipulation has traditionally been more common in rum production than with other spirits, such as whiskey, where it is seen as a more deceptive practice. As a result, rum is typically sold in "white," "light," and "dark," styles—blunt terms that can mean very different things based on the producer. Unlike whiskey, when a consumer picks up a bottle of rum and sees that it is brown, that may not (though it can) be an indication it was aged in wood—the color could just be caramel coloring, or a combination of barrel aging and caramel coloring. Conversely, some rum, in particular that from Puerto Rico, that is aged in wood is later charcoal filtered to strip out the color, making it look like a white, unaged rum. "Getting that information across to the consumers is a real challenge," Cate said.
To Preston, however, the issue is more straightforward: caramel coloring is simply "a cheat or deception," and he has vowed never to use it.
Small craft distilleries like Preston's are especially poised to contribute to that variety because they aren't beholden to the demands that face much larger operations. By way of comparison, he recalled visiting a distillery for Brugal, one of the Dominican Republic's flagship distillers, which produces more than a million bottles a day. "It was like looking at a giant petroleum factory on Mars," he said. "It was just ridiculous."
Preston is able to resist some of the pressure to adopt the techniques of industrial produces as well, because he benefits from the premium mark position of craft rums—with bottles of Cacao Prieto's rums retailing for around $50, double that of well-respected rums from larger producers.
This is not to suggest that the big boys couldn't make a rum that deserves to be called a craft spirit. "To me," Preston says, "craft has nothing to do with size, it has to do with your being geeks in your industry, being obsessive perfectionists, just cutting no corner. It doesn't matter whether I've got a fifty-gallon still or a five-thousand gallon still, if I do everything to perfection, it's craft."

Tightening vehicle and fuels standards to benefit global health and climate
http://www.unep.org/newscentre/Default.aspx?DocumentID=2755&ArticleID=9700&l=en
Study finds that more stringent standards worldwide could dramatically reduce premature mortality while cutting short-lived climate pollutant emissions as much as 80 percent.
Simply extending the vehicle emissions and fuel-quality standards already in force in the largest vehicle markets throughout the rest of the world could reduce the number of premature deaths caused annually by fine particle emissions by 75 percent in 2030, according to a report released on November 13, 2013 by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).
Moreover, The Impact of Stringent Fuel and Vehicle Standards on Premature Mortality and Emissions finds that doing so would have the added benefit of reducing near-term climate impacts through reductions in black carbon and other short-lived climate pollutants by the equivalent of 710 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
The World Health Organization has identified air pollution as one of the top global risk factors for premature death, responsible for more than 3.2 million early deaths in 2010. Vehicles are a major source of outdoor air pollution. The report quantifies a subset of their health impacts?the effects of direct tailpipe emissions of fine particles (less than 2.5 microns in diameter) on premature mortality in urban areas?and finds that policy action can avert more than 210,000 early deaths in 2030.
The methodology of this study results in a lower bound estimate because it only captures primary particle emissions from on-road vehicles in urban areas. The study's estimate of premature mortality and public health benefits would be substantially increased if additional impacts were included, such as exposure to secondary pollutants formed in the atmosphere (including particles and ozone), emissions in rural areas and emissions from marine, aviation, and off-road equipment.
Thus, these results should be used as highly conservative estimates that do not reflect the full contribution from clean fuel and vehicle standards in the future.
The problem is particularly acute in the rapidly developing regions of China and India and in emerging markets, which now account for the majority of vehicle pollutant emissions and attendant health impacts. The study found that unless tighter controls on those emissions are put in place, the number of early deaths will increase by 50 percent globally between now and 2030, with China, India, and other countries in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East accounting for more than 85 percent of all these premature deaths.
Stringent regulations implemented in Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and South Korea have proven highly effective at curbing pollution from vehicles. By controlling vehicle tailpipe emissions of harmful compounds like nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulate matter, as well as fuel sulfur content, these standards will reduce premature mortality related to vehicle emissions in these regions by 80 percent to 90 percent below year 2000 levels in 2030. Low-sulfur fuels are a key factor in controlling pollutant emissions because fuels with higher sulfur content not only emit more particulates but also inhibit the use of after-treatment devices such as particulate filters.
The ICCT report lays out a global policy roadmap aimed at significantly altering regional trends in pollution and mortality by accelerating the spread of improved vehicle emissions and fuel-quality regulations. The goal, the report's authors argue, should be tailpipe emission standards equivalent to the most stringent adopted in Europe, so-called Euro 6/IV standards, in tandem with ultra-low-sulfur fuel (no more than ten parts per million sulfur), by no later than 2025.
The report comes as governments gather in Warsaw, Poland, for the opening of the 19th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, with the aim of putting in pathways to a new universal agreement by 2015. A comprehensive study released in January 2013 in the Journal of Geophysical Research found black carbon to be the second largest contributor to climate warming from human activities. And in September 2013, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted new findings on the strong climate impacts of short-lived climate pollutants such as black carbon.
The IPCC report found that one kilogram of black carbon causes as much climate impact in the near term as 3,200 kilograms of carbon dioxide. Diesel vehicles, in particular, are a prime target for policies aimed at controlling black carbon.
Cleaner fuels and vehicles are a good investment, the report's authors point out. "The U.S. EPA has estimated that its regulations to clean up the diesel truck fleet will reap US $17 in benefits to the American public for every dollar of investment," said ICCT Program Lead Cristiano Façanha. "In China, where national officials are working to avoid the next 'airpocalypse', vehicle emission controls could reap US $150 billion in public health benefits at an even lower cost than programmes in the United States. Experience shows these investments in public health consistently return a profit to society."
The Impact of Stringent Fuel and Vehicle Standards on Premature Mortality and Emissions is the second major report in the ICCT's Global Transportation Roadmap Series. The first, Global Transportation Energy and Climate Roadmap, evaluated the impacts of transportation policies on global oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

A controversial aspect of functional diversity is whether species exhibiting similar functions are redundant and thus expendable. Our research targets microbes, where the common view is that the potential for redundancy/similarity among microbial species is high, and focuses on one pivotal mutualistic interaction, the mycorrhizal symbiosis. We study ectomycorrhizal (EM) mutualisms between fungi and plant ecosystem dominants in the context of different-aged successional stands, because they possess several characteristics making them a model system for studies of functional diversity. EM interactions may exhibit some degree of specificity, meaning fungal species may be restricted to one or a few plant species. Combined, changes in performance of EM fungi and specificity are thought to control rates of plant succession.
Results of our previous work indicate significant, consistent patterns of specificity in selected stands in Yellowstone National Park. We are studying changes that occur during maturation of the lodgepole forests and their invasion by other conifers using a combination of field and molecular genetic methods to determine effects on EM specificity and functional biodiversity of environmental factors that occur above and below ground. Specifically, we will determine (1) effects of litter removal and resultant changes in soil fertility in 300-year-old mixed conifer stands, (2) effects of manual addition of litter to 8-year-old pure stands of lodgepole pine, and (3) effects of defoliation and thus altered carbon allocation to roots on mycorrhizal diversity and specificity patterns in 300-year-old mixed stands. No direct field tests of these hypotheses have been previously performed in association with molecular methods.


We are having a problem with a 6500i giving us light copies. There is almost 1 million on the machine.
Initially we thought the problem was developer related as one previous engineer didnt fit dev unit when fitting kit, so the dev has almost 1 mill on it. Ordered up a maintenance kit, fitted the dev unit, no change (yes we have the poron strip out). I have searched CTN for 6500 and 8000 and browsed all posts for similar issues.
Also fitted drum,charge and transfer belt. Everything still the same.
Image looks solid/fine on the drum unit. Looks like no transfer.
U100 (Charge), U106 (transfer) and U140 (dev bias) changing settings make no difference to the print at all.
Could it be Transfer HVT board?
You really narrowed it down. Looks to me like transfer issue. In this case i would clean/replace laser unit next (it was updated a while ago for image dropouts) and if no changes, go for the boards 1 by 1.
Hi Blackcat. Yes replaced the transfer belt and checked all contact.
Got it fixed with the HVT board. Just about to post an update to complete.
Just an update to close this one off.
We were lucky enough to have a 5501i in the showroom which uses the same board. We insulated the contacts to the transfer belt on this machine, before removing the HVT board and it gave a very similar light print.
Swapping the high voltage board (302LF94260) fixed this for us.
There was a bit of playing with the settings afterwards, but got there in the end.
Will put this faulty board into the 5501i and fingers crossed it has the same fault! EDIT: Board into 5501i and same light prints.
Had this same issue today. It was the HVT board as well. Thanks for the good info.
Thanks for the input on the fix!!


New parents are often in awe over their first child, and that is certainly true for Andrew and Courtney Reeves.
The Bend couple marvels at how much their son, Jon, looks like his father. They are amazed at how well he behaves on trips and how he sleeps through most nights. They have already taken their 5-month-old baby on family vacations to Utah and Hawaii.
But Jon's presence is more a miracle than his good behavior. He was born through surrogacy, an arrangement in which a woman agrees to become pregnant and gives birth to a child for a couple, who will be the child's parents. The surrogate carries an embryo created in a laboratory using an egg and sperm from the child's parents.


Comb hair more easily with a longer handle.
Ideal for persons with limited arm reach or hand movement. These combs have extended handles that provide easy access to hard-to-reach places at the back of the head. Contour design provides better contact when combing.


Love that picture of Nacho Libre in the background!!!
Your voice reminds me of zoey Deschanel. Thanks for the recipe!
Use soft taco corn tortillas! Cilantro and onion with salsa. Marinate the tofu with spices and seasoning and you'll have some good tacos.
I think a minced mushroom and scrambled tofu mixture would be a delicious replacement for taco meat.
Like you so much better without lipstick!
It's true we love kale <3 You are so funny. Glad I stumbled on your channel.
Nacho Libre in the back made my day!! Thanks!!
hey i love these recipes!! <3 I have a challenge for you, can you make a quiche without using tofu?? if not, can you make a quiche?
Thank-you, another great video :). I have a question for you. I am a new vegan (since January) and I am going to a Greek island in a month and have no idea what vegan foods I can find in Greece. I have been to many Greek islands in the past and they are OBSESSED with their meat and cheese. Any advice/tips?
I always eat my tacos with some homemade chili, but next time I will add the kale and your queso recipe.
looks great hon! I never thought to use like on my tacos, but gonna try that tonight! The way I do it is just with a taco kit, then I substitute the beef with veggi ground round. I use vegan cheese as topping!
thanks for making this I never thought to use chili I will be making this today and I cant wait to see your Raw Food series.
I love ur vídeos, but I just don't understand why use hard shells for tacos, hehehe the tacos are in soft corn tortilla, :> u should try it!! Saludos feliz 5 de mayo!
Oh I so want to make this with out the kale. I love kale chips but raw I just can't eat it. It is a strange food! I make vegan taco's with egg plant. Super yummy!
Garlic Bread and Carbonara Spaghetti? I this possible for us Vegans. It would be a challenge for sure… What do you think?
All your recipes are so full of fat. Can you make some high carb recipes?
As soon as you said "I will wait for you here" it froze. I think it's the internet saying go make tacos…so now I'm gonna make tacos.
put your cheese on the bottom first in hard shells to act as glue when the bottom breaks.
you like it hard……….your videos are delicious and nutritious and fun and entertaining. there is also some kind of place where you can order non gmo tortillas as well.
Love your videos! You're too funny! Thanks for sharing!!!

Who are the essential workers most at risk of infection?
The Coronavirus pandemic has raised many issues regarding workers, their rights and the labor market as a whole. On the one hand, the rate of unemployment continues increasing while on the other hand the concept of an "essential worker" has come into our lives. Without these essential workers, the things that are necessary in our lives would not exist. These essential workers hold many different positions. There are those whose profession allow them to work from home, while others are required to interact with the public and therefore are exposed to greater risk of Coronavirus infection.
Who are the essential workers most at risk of infection? A report we published last month takes a close look at this issue. The report was written in collaboration with Dr. Naomi Friedman-Sokuler, an economist at Bar-Ilan University, and aims to characterize the workers at risk of Coronavirus infection, including their income level, education and age. The report also examined whether or not these workers have been compensated for the heavy burden they are carrying.
Data showed that essential workers are often placed at risk of contracting COVID-19 due to the nature of their work and are often low-income workers. In fact, the lower the wage, the greater the exposure to risk. The workers that are placed in a more fragile position are more likely to be infected. For example, our research showed that hourly workers are more likely to be infected with the Coronavirus than full-time workers. The fact that essential workers already come from the most vulnerable populations in Israeli society was a common thread running through the data analyzed as well.
Our findings also showed a link between education level and risk of Coronavirus infection. Over 49% (49.6%) of workers with a high school education have a high exposure to infection compared to 22.1% of those with education beyond high school. In terms of age, those over the age of 55, have the highest exposure rate. Thus, those with the highest exposure to infection are the most at risk of developing severe and life-threatening symptoms.
Regarding gender and the nuclear family, women are 24% more likely to work in a position with high exposure to the Coronavirus compared to men. And single parents have a higher probability of being exposed than workers who are married.
The data presented in our report are not surprising, unfortunately. But we can see them as an opportunity, a chance to acknowledge these workers and re-examine society's attitude toward them. The Coronavirus epidemic gives us a chance to examine anew the income level and social status of the workers we need the most. The epidemic is an opportunity to correct this injustice, raise wages and improve the rights of these workers who are most exposed to the Coronavirus pandemic.
There is active discourse around the world regarding the status and wages of essential workers. An analysis of the average salaries of essential workers in the United States reveals that their wages are much lower than the average wage in the labor market. In contrast, Canada raised the wages of essential workers. This month, Israel enacted a policy to cover the costs of a worker's required quarantine; however, the policy did not take into consideration the problems faced by low-income workers with greater exposure to infection.
We at Kav LaOved will continue to monitor this issue and to advocate for improved status and rights of essential workers in Israel who are exposed to greater risk of infection from the Coronavirus.

Spain showed its remarkable potential under new coach Luis Enrique by destroying World Cup runner-up Croatia 6-0 on Tuesday to hand the visitor its biggest defeat and take control of the Nations League group.
The host soon increased its lead with two thumping strikes from Marco Asensio, the second of which was given as an own goal to Croatia goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic as it bounced off him after crashing against the crossbar.
Rodrigo Moreno completed a fine team move after the interval before captain Sergio Ramos headed the fifth while a strike from Isco saw Spain become the first team to score six against Croatia as they charged top of League A, Group 4 with six points.
It was also the second time this year Spain has scored six goals against the World Cup runner-up, following a 6-1 March win over 2014 finalist Argentina.
Spain was in a confident mood after winning its first game under Luis Enrique 2-1 away to England in its Nations League opener on Saturday, and once it scored, the floodgates opened as Croatia was left chasing shadows.
"We played a spectacular game and rounded off a brilliant week. We needed to recuperate the feelings we had before, we've played two great games," said goalscorer Asensio, who also provided three assists.
To reach the Nations League finals next June, Spain needs just two points from its two remaining games — at home against England and at Croatia.
"We've played two teams that went very far in the World Cup, and these victories are very important to reach the final phase, which is a challenge we have set ourselves," Asensio added.


Global warming is a problem that needs serious attention and discussion. People all around the world are wondering if the climate change is a consequence of human activity or is the Earth just going through a cycle of evolution. Scientists have been studying global warming ever since 1960 when an Oceanographic Institution observed that the Arctic ice was starting to melt. In 1995, when global warming had already become one of the most controversial issues for environment agencies (EPA), almost 20,000 square km of ice had already melted in the Arctic pouring fresh, cold water into the oceans and leading to climate change.
By examining temperature and salinity in the world�s oceans and comparing them with patterns, researchers were able to understand some of the aspects related to the climate change as a result of increased global warming. A very good example is provided by the ocean currents that drive the Gulf Stream. Further melting in the Arctic could change the circulation of those currents and cause Britain�s temperature to decrease with almost 6?C.
What would happen if the ice kept on melting? Well, a new Ice Age is a very strong possibility. If the warm-water currents shut down, there wouldn�t be any warm water for many of Earth�s regions and the climate change would take place. Still, no climate change was, is or will be sudden. If that would happen today, the dramatic results would be revealed as a disaster that would include season alteration with the possible dissappearance of summer, dry weather or quite the contrary only rain and snow. In other parts of the globe droughts and firestorms would destroy everything in their path. Some places on our planet could become unhabitable and people would starve or freeze to death. There are many possible scenarios and none of them looks good.
Can we do something to prevent all this from happening? Specialists are trying to increase the awareness of the people who can do something about global warming. Yes, climate change is an issue everyone is well acquainted with. The risks are big and they involve the whole population of the Globe, but we are not doing anything to stop our mistakes. On the contrary, we are all giving a helping hand. Pollution is one of the main culprits of climate change. Coal, oil and gas industries are making millions in the era of development and very few of them care if the environment is protected from all the waste. People rely on these energy sources to travel, to eat, to heat without giving a moment�s thought towards global warming, climate change and a disastrous future. A friendly environment without ice melting and the rising of water levels is a very far to reach target.
Earth�s climate systems are extremely sensitive. They can suddenly swift from one mechanism to another and it may not be the right one (e.g. climate change caused by global warming). There are many strategies to avoid pollution and, as a consequence, the climate change. People are advised to choose healthier, cleaner energy sources such as solar power, wind and wave energy, fuel cells and hydrogen powered cars. Still, these solutions are expensive and not everyone can afford them.
In the opinion of some researchers, simple gestures could make a big difference in the case of global warming. We must all remember that oceans are essential in the distribution of life-sustaining water. They are the planet�s largest reservoir of water and the climate change affects them as well. So, to lower the global warming level and avoid causing acid rains, hurricans, flooding and droughts, we might want to consider cutting down on fuel, recycling and quit dumping our waste in the most inappropriate places. All this can lead to a healthier style of life.
Another theory developed on the global warming issue is the constructal theory. It sees the Earth as a heat engine that dissipates the power produced through air and water currents. Based on this theory, scientists are able to predict some of the climate changes that will occur in desert and tropical forests, as well as in temperate zones and poles. The main characteristics that help reduce the uncertainty about climate change and global warming are: the sun�s temperature, the solar constant (amount of incoming solar radiation), cloud cover and greenhouse factor (concentrations of aerosols and greenhouse gases to establish the quantity of energy trapped by the atmosphere). By studying these factors we may be able to improve the ability to predict what would happen and, with the help of instruments monitoring critical present-day conditions, to set up global warming patterns. Alternative reasons for the rise in temperature were given throughout the decade, changes in solar and volcanic activity being often incriminated. These are just suspicions as no actual proof was provided to sustain these affirmations.
The truth lies in the reorganization of the ocean currents circulating around the Earth and mainly the Ocean Conveyor (including the Gulf Stream) which distributes a large amount of heat around the planet. If that would be affected, and it may be by global warming, climate change wouldn�t hesitate to appear. However, that doesn�t mean we can keep polluting the planet. We must stand up and say no to gases that affect the atmosphere, the ozone layer and our natural habitat. Learning more about global warming and the climate change can make a difference in the future of our children.


This is Glasgow's newest and shiniest bridge over the river Clyde, opened just over a month ago. I'm not sure what it's called (I've seen someone on flickr refer to it as "Squiggly", in keeping with the second-newest bridge the Squinty a little way up the river which has featured here plenty of times before). I'll show a closer view tomorrow.
The yellow things in the foreground are from the ladders at the lifebelt stations which are dotted along the river in case someone gets into difficulty.

Very modern looking! I like it.
Very modern and minimalist. I don't think 'squiggly' quite fits it though. 'Pointy,' yes.
Jackie, there's a thread in the forum suggesting that the two not be named. Life, which published some of the missing photographer's photos, didn't name him either. He may have been picked up without knowledge of his actions, just as part of the general protesters' arrests. Either way, it's horrible what's happening in Tehran.
Sorry Hilda I only just saw your comment, have removed all names as requested. I'll go take a look at the forum now.
I've also blogged about Tehran 24. Please, if I have included personal information, tell me.

Bluestone Drilling Delivers 7.9 meters of 19 g/t Au & 44 g/t Ag and 9 meters of 8.4 g/t Au & 53 g/t Ag at Cerro Blanco
By Editorial staff	 On Jul 3, 2019
Bluestone Resources Inc. (TSXV:BSR | OTCQB:BBSRF) ("Bluestone" or the "Company" –http://www.commodity-tv.net/c/search_adv/?v=299040) is pleased to announce additional high-grade drill assays from its ongoing infill resource conversion program at its Cerro Blanco Gold project.
The Cerro Blanco Feasibility Study (see press release January 29th, 2019) highlighted 357,000 ounces of Inferred Resources (1.4 Mt grading 8.1 g/t Au) that could be potentially converted to Measured and Indicated Resources through infill drilling. The focus of the current program is the conversion of Inferred Resources within key veins in the upper part of the Cerro Blanco ore body and vein extensions outside of the current resource.
A total of eight holes are reported in this press release and 47 holes have been reported to date, for 4,992 meters of infill drilling undertaken since the Feasibility Study.
Darren Klinck, President & CEO commented, "The drilling program which has been focused on the North zone at Cerro Blanco over the past few months has demonstrated remarkable continuity and consistency intercepting targeted veins. Additionally, as can be common with these types of deposits, the program continues to identify new veins that will require follow-up and should ultimately be positive for future resource updates. We are very excited with the results to date as well as with the continued strengthening of our understanding on the geologic model which we believe will continue to add significant value to the project."
All holes cited in this press release were drilled from various platforms located within the underground workings at Cerro Blanco that extend over three kilometers. All holes were designed to target Inferred Resources within the upper parts of the current resource, with all holes drilled in the North Zone with the exception of UGCB19-139 and UGCB19-143 which were collared in the South Zone.
Hole UGCB19-144 drilled in the southern part of the North Zone resource successfully intercepted a total of 12 veins including a new vein, VN_19. The best intercept was 19 g/t Au and 44 g/t Ag over 7.5 meters (true width) pertaining to veins VS_06, VS_07 and VS_09, including 1 meter grading 98.5 g/t Au and 271 g/t Ag. Holes UGCB19-137, UGCB19-140, UGCB19-142 were all drilled west from the main North Ramp decline and were successful in intercepting new veins VN_18 and VN_29 located in the footwall of the current resource. UGCB19-138 and UGCB19-141 were drilled at positive angles (35 and 50 degrees respectively) and successfully confirmed the extension of vein VN_02 into the overlying Salinas conglomerates.
Hole UGCB19-143 drilled in the South Zone assayed 8.4 g/t Au and 53.2 g/t Ag over 9 meters (true width) from 57 meters pertaining to vein VS_07 and VS_08.
A plan view showing drill hole locations can be accessed by clicking HERE.
Results for a total of 47 holes have now been released to date as part of the Infill resource conversion program. Drilling is ongoing and further results will be reported in due course.
Precious metal mineralization at Cerro Blanco is associated with classic low sulphidation adularia-sericite epithermal quartz veins and vein swarms hosted in altered sequence of volcanoclastic and sedimentary rocks. Higher grades (>20 g/t Au and >60 g/t Ag) are associated with visible gold and silver sulphides in ginguro-style colloform-banded veins.
Quality Analysis and Quality Control
Assay results listed within this release were performed by Inspectorate Laboratories ("Inspectorate"), a division of Bureau Veritas, which are ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. Logging and sampling are undertaken on site at Cerro Blanco by Company personnel under a QA/QC protocol developed by Bluestone. Samples are transported in security-sealed bags to Inspectorate, Guatemala City, Guatemala, for sample preparation. Sample pulps are shipped to Inspectorate Laboratories in Vancouver, BC, Canada or Reno, NV, USA, and assayed using industry-standard assay techniques for gold and silver. Gold and silver were analyzed by a 30-gram charge with atomic absorption and/or gravimetric finish for values exceeding 5 g/t Au and 100 g/t Ag. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material, and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by Bluestone's QA/QC program, which involves the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards) and field duplicates into the sample stream to independently assess analytical precision and accuracy of each batch of samples as they are received from the laboratory. A selection of samples is submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Vancouver for check analysis and additional quality control.

This press release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Bluestone Resources Inc. ("Bluestone" or the "Company") believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future including, without limitation: the conversion of the inferred mineral resources; increasing the amount of measured mineral and indicated mineral resources; the proposed timeline and benefits of further drilling; the proposed timeline and benefits of the Feasibility Study; statements about the Company's plans for its mineral properties; Bluestone's business strategy, plans and outlook; the future financial or operating performance of Bluestone; capital expenditures, corporate general and administration expenses and exploration and development expenses; expected working capital requirements; the future financial estimates of the Cerro Blanco Project economics, including estimates of capital costs of constructing mine facilities and bringing a mine into production and of sustaining capital costs, estimates of operating costs and total costs, net present value and economic returns; proposed production timelines and rates; funding availability; resource estimates; and future exploration and operating plans are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to Bluestone and often use words such as "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "estimates", "intends", "may" or variations thereof or the negative of any of these terms.
All forward-looking statements are made based on the Company's current beliefs as well as various assumptions made by them and information currently available to them. Generally, these assumptions include, among others: the ability of Bluestone to carry on exploration and development activities; the price of gold, silver and other metals; there being no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environment; the exchange rates among the Canadian dollar, Guatemalan quetzal and the United States dollar remaining consistent with current levels; the presence of and continuity of metals at the Cerro Blanco Project at estimated grades; the availability of personnel, machinery and equipment at estimated prices and within estimated delivery times; metals sales prices and exchange rates assumed; appropriate discount rates applied to the cash flows in economic analyses; tax rates and royalty rates applicable to the proposed mining operation; the availability of acceptable financing; anticipated mining losses and dilution; success in realizing proposed operations; anticipated timelines for community consultations and the impact of those consultations on the regulatory approval process.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and, even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Bluestone. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: risks relating to variations in the mineral content within the mineral identified as mineral resources from that predicted; risks and uncertainties related to expected production rates, timing and amount of production and total costs of production; risks and uncertainties related to ability to obtain or maintain necessary licenses, permits, or surface rights; risks associated with technical difficulties in connection with mining development activities; risks and uncertainties related to the accuracy of mineral resource estimates and estimates of future production, future cash flow, total costs of production and diminishing quantities or grades of mineral resources; risks associated with geopolitical uncertainty and political and economic instability in Guatemala; risks and uncertainties related to interruptions in production; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations; uncertain political and economic environments and relationships with local communities; variations in rates of recovery and extraction; developments in world metals markets; risks related to fluctuations in currency exchange rates; as well as those factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Amended and Restated Annual Information Form.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made, and except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Bluestone disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although Bluestone believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to their inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
The Company has included certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") measures in this new release. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company and to compare it to information reported by other companies. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Not for distribution to U.S. Newswire Services or for dissemination in the United States. Any failure to comply with this restriction may constitute a violation of U.S. Securities laws.
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 24, 2020 / Novamind Inc. (formerly Hinterland Metals Inc.) ("Novamind" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced reverse takeover of Novamind Ventures Inc. ("Novamind Ventures") by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Transaction"). The Company will carry on the business of Novamind Ventures, a leading mental health company specialized in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Summary of the Transaction Prior to closing the Transaction, the Company completed a name change from "Hinterland Metals Inc." to "Novamind Inc." and a consolidation of its common shares (the "Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Share for every twenty-five (25) pre-consolidation Shares.

In addition, prior to closing of the Transaction, the subscription receipts of Novamind Ventures automatically converted into common shares of Novamind Ventures in accordance with their terms and the gross proceeds of CAD$10.0 million from the affiliated financing were released from escrow.
The Transaction was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which Novamind Ventures amalgamated with a wholly-owned Ontario subsidiary of the Company. The amalgamated company now holds Novamind Ventures' assets as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the resulting company will operate under the name "Novamind Inc.". Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company's issued and outstanding share capital consists of 40,200,766 basic shares outstanding and 48,088,558 shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.
