African Countries Urged To Accelerate E-Band Planning To Build Africa's Digital Future
To accelerate 5G in Africa, regulatory frameworks governing critical wireless backhaul spectrum E-band (70-80 GHz) needs to be put on the agenda swiftly. This is the call made by ICT experts at the 6th Annual Sub Sahara Spectrum Management Conference took place using a virtual format from the 20th to 22nd July 2021.
For data to move from one point to another on the internet, there needs to be a medium that allows these points to interface with each other. Wireless backhaul is the use of wireless communication, such as microwave, to transport data between the wireless site and core. It's a key component to connect a device to the internet.
A combination of high capacity and low latency makes E-band (70-80 GHz) ideal for high capacity backhaul.
"Africa currently experiences a coverage gap of 25% and achieving terrestrial universal access depended on the development of two hundred and fifty thousand new 4G base stations, "says Stephen Spengler, CEO of Intelsat and Board Chairman for ESOA."Microwave backhaul represents a fundamental tool to be able to extend the advantages of 5G networks to all areas of the world."
Having demonstrated clear technical advantages in 5G backhaul construction globally, E-band spectrum has been allocated in 86 countries, including 8 in Africa.
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), for example, started E-Band regulatory planning in 2015 with amendments for use of these bands coming into force in 2016. Nigeria is also amongst first countries in Africa to open up 70/80GHz spectrum to support terrestrial service providers for short backhauling.
"E-band enables Nigeria's backhaul network to evolve to the 4G & 5G era. The release of E-band is a very important step to accelerate Nigeria's ICT development and enable more people to enjoy digital service," says Engineer Joseph Emeshili, Head Spectrum Planning, Nigerian Communications Commission.
Industry insights show more than 85% of base stations in Africa use microwave for backhaul while 8 carriers provisioned 5G services. Alongside the rollout of 5G in Africa, microwave backhaul is playing an increasing important role as an essential component to 5G network infrastructure in the continent.
"The E-band and 5G RAN spectrum planning prior to 5G is essential for the development of ICT in Africa especially as network densification and planning for (dense) urban network development advances," said Shu Peijian, Director of Wireless and Core Network for Huawei Southern Africa Region.
The 6th Annual Sub Sahara Spectrum Management Conference took place using a virtual format from the 20th to 22nd July 2021. The conference provided a platform for governments, regulators and industry to deliberate on issues pertaining to the management and coordination of spectrum policy across Africa and clear the path towards 5G to build Africa's digital future.

12 and 13 May last week, saw the opening of two mosques, in Nottingham and Walsall. Both mosques were graced with the attendance of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa.
Local Ahmadis as well as Ahmadis from other parts of the UK travelled to these areas and joined the crowds of hundreds who were there to witness this historic occasion.
A reception was held at Walsall following the aforementioned events.
Such receptions have now become a tradition of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya. Local community members, neighbours and members of the local authorities are invited to attend such mosque-opening receptions with the purpose that they are able to know that the mosque being built in their area is an Ahmadiyya Muslim mosque and will be a means of spreading peace and harmony in society and – contrary to the general impression of a mosque these days – not propagate terror or violence.
The purpose has been well met all along, ever since the initiative has been introduced by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa. Under Huzoor's leadership, hundreds of mosques have been built across the globe.
This might sound easy but the challenges usually faced by the local Jamaats in only attaining a plot of land is something that most of us cannot imagine.
The local authorities in Western countries have always shown concern over mosques being built as it can lead to an uproar in local communities, who – unfortunately – have come to know a mosque as a place where hate is preached. Once these steps are overcome, then come the stages of planning permissions, funds, drawings and construction; every stage bringing with it an array of challenges.
Such receptions play an immense role in introducing the local public to Ahmadiyya Islam (or the true Islam), which enables them to see a very different side of the picture.
The aspect that changes their minds (and hearts) is the way Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa speaks to them and describes to them the Ahmadiyya mosque-building schemes. The Jamaat has a whole philosophy behind this scheme, which Huzooraa summarises for them in his address; the philosophy of winnings hearts and not lands.
These addresses by Huzooraa to guests at the receptions work as a preamble for a long-term relationship between the local community and the local Jamaat that endures forever.
The Fazl Mosque was the first mosque to be built in London (in 1924) and has now entered the fifth-generation of cordial relations with the local community.
Every Ahmadi mosque inherits this tradition and the credit goes to the inaugural addresses of Huzooraa and the continued guidance he imparts for the local Jamaats at every stage of decision-making.
Congratulations to the Walsall and Nottingham Jamaat, on behalf of Al Hakam and the global readership, that they have now been blessed with mosques. This, God willing, will further open new avenues of tabligh in the local regions.

Edward Leedskalnin, The Sculptor Who Single-Handedly Built Coral Castle
Edward Leedskalnin was a Latvian immigrant who single-handedly created a coral sculpture garden, the Coral Castle, over a span of 20 years. Working only at nighttime, he created amazing structures using colossal coral chunks, each weighing several tons. Leedskalnin never revealed his methods but claimed that he had discovered the secrets of the pyramid builders. Even today, Coral Castle remains one of the world's most bizarre architectural conundrums. Since its inception, it has managed to keep engineers, architectures, and scientists equally confounded. Keep reading to find more about Edward Leedskalnin, the sculptor who single-handedly built Coral Castle.
Born on January 12, 1887 in Latvia, Edward Leedskalnin was a sickly boy who received an equivalent of 4th-grade education. His father taught him stone masonry in his teenage years which he practiced after coming of age.

Edward Leedskalnin was born on 12 January 1887 in the country of Latvia. During his early days, he was a weak child and fell ill frequently. So, he spent most of his childhood reading books. This helped him in developing an inquisitive mind. Brought up in a poor family, Leedskalnin managed to achieve the equivalent of a 4th-grade education. While growing up, he learned stonemasonry from his father. Later, as an adult, he practiced this craft in Latvia.
At the age of 26, Edward Leedskalnin was engaged to marry Agnes Skuvst. But his 16-year-old fiancee broke their engagement just one day before their wedding. Heartbroken, Leedskalnin emigrated to North America in 1912 where he worked in ax-handle manufacturing.

While working as a stonemason in Lativa, 26-year-old Leedskalnin got engaged to 16-year-old Agnes Skuvst. A day before their wedding, Agnes broke the engagement. Rejected by the girl he loved, Leedskalnin decided to immigrate to North America. He arrived in New York City in April 7, 1912. In North America, Leedskalnin looked for work all around the East Coast. Later, he relocated to the Pacific Northwest. There, he worked in axe-handle manufacturing in Reedsport, Oregon until 1922.
During the winter of 1922-1923, Edward Leedskalnin contracted tuberculosis and moved to warmer regions in the state of Florida. In Florida City, he purchased a piece of land and began erecting intricate structures composed of oolite limestone, creating everything from a bedroom to a 30-foot-tall telescope.
While living in Oregon, the cold weather didn't agree with Leedskalnin and he contracted what was diagnosed as terminal tuberculosis. To everyone's surprise, he healed spontaneously. When asked, he said that he was got well due to magnets which stimulated his immune system and banished the sickness. After overcoming his illness, he moved to Florida City because of its warmer climate. There, he purchased a remote, undeveloped plot of land. At that time, Florida City was only sparsely developed and lightly inhabited.
On this plot of land, Leedsklanin began his ambitious project which he named "The Rock Gate." He started by quarrying oolite limestone rocks, carving them, and moving them in place without any help. Since he worked alone in the dead of the night using only a flashlight as a light source, no one witnessed the process. Working meticulously, this five-foot-tall man managed to erect huge structures out of 1,100 tons of rock, some of which weighed about 27 tons each. These rocks are seamlessly connected without any mortar or cement. Using only a few picks, ropes, winces, and pulleys, Leedsklanin created one of the world's most astounding engineering marvels.
In 1936, due to the construction of a subdivision nearby, Leedsklanin moved the whole thing 10 miles away to Homestead, Florida. For the next three years, he himself moved the whole structure using a truck. He named the new place "Rock Gate" and dedicated it to his lost love, "Sweet Sixteen."

Since Leedsklanin was an extremely private recluse, he chose a secluded land plot to create the Rock Gate. But in 1936, his privacy was threatened as a subdivision was being built nearby. Instead of putting up with the intrusion, he decided to move his sprawling construction elsewhere. He borrowed a truck from his friend and over the course of three years moved the entire structure 10 miles away to Homestead, Florida. Working alone, he relocated the whole thing piece by piece.
Once the relocation was complete, he began working on the structure again. By the time the castle was finished, it was two stories high. It had a throne room consisting of stone thrones, a 30-foot Polaris telescope, a sundial, a 40-foot-high obelisk, living quarters, a water fountain, and even an expansive garden full of stone sculptures. All the structures of this castle are virtually perfect. None of the structures have any gaps between the coral pieces, and they don't even contain any chisel marks.
At Florida City, Edward Leedskalnin opened the gate of his Coral Castle to the public at a minimal visitation charge. He never disclosed how he built the castle using 1,100 tons of stones except to a few teenagers. The most famous structure of the castle is an 8-foot-tall gate which can be opened even with the push of a child's finger.
Even though Leedskalnin was an extremely private person, at Florida City he opened Coral Castle (at that time known as the Rock Gate) for public visitation. In the beginning, he charged ten cents from each visitor. But later, he changed it to a twenty-five cents donation and allowed those people to enter for free who could not afford that small fee. He also carved signs on a rock near the front gate asking people to ring a bell twice. Whenever anyone rang the bell, Leedskalnin would come down from his living quarters located on the second story of the castle. He would come to the gate and conduct a tour for interested people.
There are many rumors as to how Leedsklanin managed to construct Coral Castle. Leedsklanin himself had claimed that had used reverse-magnetism to create these structures. It is believed that no one except some teenagers had seen his working method. These boys claim that they have seen Leedsklanin levitate stones as if the stones were balloons.
The most popular attraction of Coral Castle is the enormous main gate. The 8-foot-high gate is balanced so perfectly that it could be opened even by a gust of wind or by one single finger. In 1986, the gate was removed for repair work. It was moved by a 45-ton crane and six men. The repair lasted nearly 10 years. It is a mystery how Leedsklanin managed to install the gate all by himself and without the aid of any modern equipment.
Apart from the construction of Coral Castle, Edward Leedskalnin published numerous pamphlets and booklets on two topics: moral education and magnetism. At the age of 64, he suffered a stroke. Twenty-eight days later, he died of a kidney infection. His creation, Coral Castle, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
During his later years, Leedskalnin published five pamphlets and advertised them in the local newspaper. His first and longest booklet was a treatise on moral education. It was printed only on the left-hand pages. He published four pamphlets addressing the interaction of magnetism, electricity, and the body. He had included a number of simple experiments in the pamphlets to validate his theory. Leedskalnin's thesis on electromagnetism is contradictory to the standard model of electromagnetism.
Edward Leedskalnin led a very austere life. His diet consisted only of biscuit, milk, eggs, and sardines. He used to cultivate fruits and vegetables in a small garden. At the age of 64, he fell ill and checked himself into a hospital in Miami. Within just a few days of doing that, he suffered a mild stroke. He died 28 days later due to pyelonephritis (kidney infection). After his death, Coral Castle became the property of his closest relative, a nephew named Harry. His nephew sold the castle in 1953. The new owners changed the name from "Rock Gate" to "Rock Gate Park." It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused massive destruction in Homestead. Amazingly, none of the structures of the Rock Gate Park was damaged. In 2011, the name of the property was changed from "Rock Gate Park" to "Coral Castle." It is now a famous tourist attraction of Florida.

Before David Letterman had his Top Ten List, God had his. They are viewed more as suggestions these days rather than commandments. Calvin reminds us of the importance and significance of these commandments here in chapter 8.
Calvin begins by reminding us of points that he already made. The laws concerning the public worship of God are still in effect. That we cannot perfectly keep the law but the law serves to show us our shortcomings. God is everything and we are nothing, therefore we are motivated to worship him. Calvin then highlights two purposes of the law. "First, claiming for himself the lawful power to command, he calls us to reverence his divinity, and specifies wherein such reverence lies and consists. Secondly, having published the rule of his righteousness, he reproves us both for our impotence and for our unrighteousness. For our nature, wicked and deformed, is always opposing his uprightness; and our capacity, weak and feeble to do good, lies far from his perfection."
We are told that God's law has been written upon our hearts. Our conscience serves as a guide when we are confronted with a decision between good and evil and as an accuser when we have done wrong. In our brokenness, our conscience is not perfect and it can be manipulated. Because of this, we need a written, unchanging law.
Sometimes we like to bend the rules like rolling through a stop sign or improving the lie of your golf ball. What does it hurt? Well, God's laws are not bendable - you either follow them or you break them and we are all guilty of breaking them. God is constantly good and against evil. There are no shades of gray when it comes to God and his law. "It is not fitting for us to measure God's glory according to our ability; for whatever we may be, he remains always like himself: the friend of righteousness, the foe of iniquity." It is inexcusable when we break his law because we are willingly offending God when we sin.
The law causes us to become aware of our sinful nature and our dependence on God and his grace. This is achieved in two ways. "First, by comparing the righteousness of the law with our life, we learn how far we are from conforming to God's will...Secondly, in considering our powers, we learn that they are not only too weak to fulfill the law, but utterly nonexistent." Therefore we rely on God's mercy for our salvation because we consistently fall short of his standards and we are incapable of even coming close to these standards. Calvin puts it this way, "Thus, realizing that he [man] does not possess the ability to pay the law what he owes, and despairing in himself, he is moved to seek and await help from another quarter."
God is not just satisfied with us having a desire to worship him. He really wants us to have a love of righteousness and a hatred of wickedness. He accomplishes this through promises and threats contained in his commandments. "And to urge us in every way, he promises both blessings in the present life and everlasting blessedness to those who obediently keep his commandments. He threatens the transgressors no less with present calamities than with the punishment of eternal death."
God's law is sufficient. We need to add nothing to it. Deuteronomy 12:28 reads, "Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God." If we could just keep these commandments we would be doing good. Later in verse 32 Moses says, "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." This means that the law is sufficient. Nothing else must be added to it. We humans try to obtain righteousness apart from the law but it is impossible to do so. There is no amount of good works that we can perform in order to achieve righteousness. Calvin writes that the best way to overcome this tendency is to keep this in mind, "the law has been handed down to us to teach perfect righteousness; there no other righteousness is taught than that which conforms to the requirements of God's will; in vain therefore do we attempt new forms of works to win the favor of God, whose lawful worship consists in obedience alone; rather, any zeal for good works that wanders outside God's law is an intolerable profanation of divine and true righteousness.

Chatel is an original farming village nestled in the French Alps. Steeped in history, Chatel takes as much pride in its history (dating back to Roman times) as it does in its future. With picture postcard chalets tucked away amongst incredible mountains, Châtel offers a truly authentic alpine experience but with a modern infrastructure and easy accessibility.
Chatel is located at the top end of the Abondance valley in the heart of the Portes du Soleil. Situated between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, Chatel is just 20 minutes from the Swiss motorways, 30 minutes from Aigle train station, 1. 25 hours from Geneva International airport and 45 minutes from Thonon train station. Chatel is one of 14 resorts of the "Portes du Soleil" which includes Morgins, Les Gets, Morzine and Avoriaz, making up one of the largest skiing areas in the world.
Chatel has a history dating back to roman times and was established by a colony of monks in the 5th century. Its first parish was built in 1643 when it was primarily a farming community. At the end of World War II the first ski lifts were introduced and Châtel's transformation to ski resort began. Chatel has maintained its agricultural character and there are still hundreds of cows and 100 year old working farms producing the famous Abondance cheese.
As with all the villages in the Abondance Valley, properties in Chatel are particularly beautiful. The resort has been careful to retain the traditional style and large high-rise structures have been avoided. Chalets showcase the skill of local tradesmen, from the pretty balconies with their decorative balusters to the century old chalets and farmhouses that were built to cope with the changing seasons and the terrain. Properties for sale sit naturally in the beauty of the valley offering views, history and a very modern level of accessibility and amenities. Chatel and its neighbouring villages in the Abondance Valley bring much to the table when considering a property purchase.
Access to slopes
Chatel gives you a lot of options where skiing is concerned. Chatel village itself has its own ski slopes varying between two mountain ranges - Super-Chatel / Barbossine and Linga / Pre La Joux. There are 46 ski slopes - 6 black, 14 red, 17 blue and 19 green with a total length of 83 km. The inclusive Chatel ski pass is also valid throughout the Swiss resort of Torgon, in the Corbeau sector of the Swiss resort of Morgins and the La Braitaz sector at La Chapelle d'Abondance (including the Panthiaz gondola lift). So you can use 56 ski lifts and 69 pistes totalling some 130 km (80 miles). There is a special bus service between Chevenoz and Chatel called colombus which stops in every village of the abondance valley. There are free shuttle buses running through the village should you decide you don't want to walk to the slopes. And Châtel is also connected to the gigantic Portes du Soleil which, with 650 kilometers of pistes, is considered one of the largest ski areas in the world.
Chatel also claims one of the best snow records in the whole of Europe due to its unique microclimate close to Lake Geneva!
Chatel offers year round activities, from the snow sports of winter to the strong summer season. In recent years it has become a destination for mountain biking and many of the 650km ski trails have adjoining mountain bike courses. There is also an abundance of walks, hikes, lake swims, paragliding, the fantasticable (a zip-line extending between two mountain peaks) as well as cultural and music events in the town. And a new aquatic centre recently opened, the Forme d'o with an indoor/outdoor pool, a spa and a fitness area.
Chatel has everything you could need. From doctors, physiotherapists and dentists, to supermarket, specialists food stores, and ski shops. There are well qualified tradespeople, a pharmacy, butchers, bakers, bread shops, arts and crafts, hairdressers, bowling, two cinemas and outdoor and covered car parks.
With a lively village centre, perfectly preserved mountain architecture, skiing in the vast unspoiled spaces of the Portes du Soleil, Chatel offers modern facilities in a traditional setting with a working village proud of its heritage.


As the gateway from the front-end to the printing system, the Océ SRA (Scalable Raster Architecture) controller is uniquely designed for high-volume production printing environments. Its job is to transform data in page description languages (PDL) such as IPDS, PCL or PDF into a high-resolution raster image for output on a printing system – and to do so fast enough to enable uninterrupted printing at full engine speed in both monochrome and full-color digital printing, at excellent quality across a huge range of application requirements.
By utilizing the same SRA Controller architecture across the range, Océ has created a consistent platform covering every printing technology and application. Since the kernel code basis driving the various print engines is identical, output compatibility between all printing technologies and printer versions is guaranteed. Applications can be shifted easily between printers, using smaller engines as proofing and back-up systems without having to interrupt high-productivity printers for the production of proofs.
Drives monochrome, highlight color and full process color engines. Supports inkjet, electrophotographic and copy press imaging technologies.

TOEFL - 80 test score minimum. TOEFL is an internet-based test. The CIIS TOEFL code is 4807.
IELTS - 6.0 band score minimum
Foreign Credential Evaluation
For students with an international academic history, please follow these steps for your foreign credential evaluation (i.e. WES – World Education Services):
Please provide your complete and entire academic history on the application form.
For required degrees earned outside of the United States or Canada, we will need a foreign credential evaluation. You, the applicant, need to initiate and request this, at your own expense, through a CIIS-approved foreign credential evaluation provider.
CIIS favors foreign credential evaluations provided by WES – World Education Services, and specifically the course-by-course-report. CIIS accepts the WES 'Basic' report, but applicants may wish to complete the 'ICAP'.
CIIS will also accept foreign credential evaluations that are in a comprehensive course-by-course format from the current members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
The foreign credential evaluation is used in lieu of sending original transcripts from abroad to CIIS . Original or notarized copies of the transcripts should only be sent to the foreign credential provider, per the foreign credential provider's instructions; there is no need to send these to CIIS!
When requesting the foreign credential evaluation, choose the appropriate degrees to be evaluated for the degree that you are applying for. If applying for a PhD at CIIS, foreign degrees equivalent to a BA and MA must be evaluated. If applying for an MA at CIIS, foreign degrees equivalent to a BA must be evaluated.
If you have studied abroad as part of a degree received in the United States or Canada (i.e. transfer credits from abroad), no WES evaluation is needed - provided these units are showing on your US/Canadian degree transcript.
If you wish to receive transfer units for any courses earned outside of the United States that are not showing on a US degree transcript, we do need a foreign credential evaluation for these courses.
CIIS offers work-study for both domestic students as well as international students. Campus jobs are not guaranteed, but in past years as much as 30 percent of all campus jobs were held by international students in a semester. Employment regulations are discussed on additional pages of the CIIS website and all incoming students will receive an orientation.

After playing the new song "Imperfekt" live at a 2010 concert in Toronto, the band was approached by Universal music to record an album of all new material.[2] Following this, the band released a promo CD single for "Imperfekt", b/w "Breaking In" in July 2010. Two additional new songs from the album were previewed online in Dec. 2010.[3]
In an Dec. 2010 interview, Gordon Deppe explained "It wasn't until we recorded Imperfekt that I thought we had something. At a Spoons rehearsal, everyone went, 'wow, what's that.' And seeing that reaction got me excited. I am very self-doubting when I do anything creative, but the moment I get a little spark and some affirmation, I go, 'okay,' and will write more."[4] According to Deppe, the remaining songs were written in a six-month period in 2010 and roughly in the order they appear on the album.
The album was recorded at Producer Jeff Carter's studio in Guelph, Ontario using the PreSonus recording system.[1] The music video for the first single "You Light Up" was filmed in Toronto, Ontario.


Tetra Laval, Tetra Pak's holding company, is to appeal against the European Commission's decision to impose a €90,000 fine on it for alleged failure to provide information in the long-running EC investigation of its acquisition of French manufacturer of PET bottle production machines, Sidel.
The acquisition was the subject of two Commission decisions and detailed scrutiny by the European Court of First Instance before eventually being approved by the Commission in January 2003.
Tetra Laval senior vice-president, communications Jörgen Haglind says the Commission is claiming the company failed to notify it sufficiently early of its ongoing development of a new technology, Tetra Fast, which attempts to use combustion technology in place of compressed air to form PET bottles.
"The technology is still in development phase", he said "and the Commission has shown a manifest misunderstanding of both its features and potential. We do not believe the Commission has any grounds to impose a fine".

Professor of Economics Università Europea di Roma
Does the crisis of the press in general and of the printed press in particular have as one of its determinants in the lack of trust of what is printed? This not the thesis of David Edwards and David Cromwell but rather the feeling the reviewer is left after going through 299 pages where news and reports are documented to be slanted either in good or in bad faith. Good faith is when the journalist is in error for lack of accuracy, sloppiness, laziness and/or mere ignorance. Bad faith is when the articles appear objective but are deeply slanted and intend to deceive the reader and to influence his or her opinion. David Edwards and David Cromwell are the co-editors of Media Lens, a non-profit British organization. On its website the organization defines itself as such : "Media Lens is a response based on our conviction that mainstream newspapers and broadcasters provide a profoundly distorted picture of our world. We are convinced that the increasingly centralised, corporate nature of the media means that it acts as a de facto propaganda system for corporate and other establishment interests. The costs incurred as a result of this propaganda, in terms of human suffering and environmental degradation, are incalculable".
This self-presentation is telling a lot: Mr. Edwards and Mr. Cromwell do not think very highly of the profession. They do not take on print at the start of their book; they go straight to the Myth of the myths , the BBC alleged objective, unbiased, balanced and truthful reporting. For 60 pages, they document "The Magnificent Fiction" of the BBC. Not only a large number of mistakes is quoted, but also links are established between each of these errors in reporting and dependence on some power. Statistically, it is difficult to agree with the analysis because billion of news items are on the BBC every week, and those chosen may very well be a biased sample themselves. More interesting is that since the BBC was founded by Lord Reith in 1922 , it has been used as a propaganda power house in favor of the Baldwin Government. Thus, why wonder that it has been a propaganda weapon for Tony Blair.
Most of the book deals with reporting on the wars of the last 10 years: the Middle East Israel-Palestinian conflict, the Iraq entanglement, the Iran nuclear weapons of mass destruction. A chapter focuses on the press reports on the world climate problems and how the media is handling Venezuela and its controversial Head of State. Another chapter is an upfront fire on the "liberal press gang" – how the Independent and the Guardian are qualified when they are not called "brilliant fools".
Thus, the diagnosis is quite bleak. Any therapy to improve the condition of the poor sick journalism or to alleviate its pains? A quite passionate, yet entertaining, book does not set any clear path , but a set of appeals to compassion, awareness, and honest journalism, even with reference to Buddhist monks (a model for guys struggling to make the front page or for chaps concerned more about their career than the betterment of mankind?)––in short, a pleasant read that could, nonetheless, scare the audience away from the media.

(Montréal, September 24, 2018) Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd ("Osisko") (OR: TSX & NYSE) announces today that Osisko Bermuda Limited ("OBL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Osisko, has received a notice from Pretium Exploration Inc., a subsidiary of Pretium Resources Inc. (collectively "Pretium") in regards to its election to exercise its option to fully repurchase OBL's interest in the Brucejack gold and silver stream, as provided for in the purchase and sale agreement between the parties dated September 15, 2015 (the "Stream Agreement").
Under the Stream Agreement, Pretium had an option to repurchase 100% of OBL's share of the Brucejack gold and silver stream by making a payment of US$118,500,000 (approximately C$154,000,000) to OBL on December 31, 2018. In order to exercise this option, Pretium had to provide 90 days' prior written notice to OBL, at which point the stream repurchase becomes a binding obligation on behalf of Pretium ("Stream Repurchase").
Osisko expects to use the proceeds from the Stream Repurchase for debt repayment and to fund additional investments.
The Stream Repurchase does not affect Osisko's 2018 gold equivalent ounce production guidance of 77,500 to 82,500 gold equivalent ounces. Osisko continues to retain exposure to the Brucejack mine through its 50% gold offtake interest.
Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd is an intermediate precious metal royalty company focused on the Americas that commenced activities in June 2014. Osisko holds a North American focused portfolio of over 130 royalties, streams and precious metal offtakes. Osisko's portfolio is anchored by five cornerstone assets, including a 5% NSR royalty on the Canadian Malartic Mine, which is the largest gold mine in Canada. Osisko also owns a portfolio of publicly held resource companies, including a 17.2% interest in Osisko Mining Inc., a 12.6% interest in Falco Resources Ltd. and a 34.7% interest in Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.
Certain statements contained in this press release may be deemed "forward‐looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. These forward‐looking statements, by their nature, require Osisko to make certain assumptions and necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are not guarantees of performance. These forward‐looking statements, may involve, but are not limited to the closing of the Stream Repurchase and the use of proceeds of the Stream Repurchase. Words such as "may", "will", "would", "could", "expect", "believe", "plan", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "continue", or the negative or comparable terminology, as well as terms usually used in the future and the conditional, are intended to identify forward‐looking statements. Information contained in forward‐looking statements is based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. Osisko considers its assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, but cautions the reader that their assumptions regarding future events, many of which are beyond the control of Osisko, may ultimately prove to be incorrect since they are subject to risks and uncertainties that affect Osisko and its business.

On the 14th of June, the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea threw the nation into a standstill. Just before 1 am, the Grenfell Tower caught ablaze due to an electrical shortage in the fridge of a resident's flat. Over the next day, the tower continued to burn, taking almost 24 hours for the flame to be totally extinguished. The aftermath of the fire has left at least 80 people dead and dozens missing, with scores of others injured. It is considered to be the most fatal fire in Britain in a century. Many say that the tragedy could have been avoided, as the building's plastic cladding was highly combustible and incredibly cheap. Additionally, some have argued that because of widespread deregulations and outdated building code guidelines, sprinklers were not legally required to be installed.
Questions around the Grenfell Tower fire are being raised by both left-leaning activists and residents of the tower alike. In response to the government's handling of the tragedy, activists organised a 'Day of Rage' to coincide with the delivery of the Queen's Speech in Westminster on the 21st of June. Many residents of the tower accused the demonstrators of "hijacking the tragedy" for political purposes. These accusation beg the question: how can activists interact with national tragedies to mobilise change and still be respectful in the process?
The circumstances surrounding the Grenfell Tower fire are inherently political. The tower was council managed housing and many of the affected are low income and working class citizens. Some have sought to paint the tragedy as gross negligence from uncaring contractors (and by extension, Government) only concerned with their bottom line. Conspiracy theories about dark motivations abound. While these are not necessarily the most productive responses, there is a vital conversation to be had about whether impactful reforms can ever truly occur when steeped in the language of respectability politics. Respectability politics refers to the practice wherein members of activist groups and marginalised identities attempt to tailor their actions and messages to mainstream culture in order to gain acceptance and recognition from members of the mainstream. Respectability politics essentially hobbles activism, by creating a space where toxic social undercurrents are allowed to continue unchallenged. Furthermore, the vocabulary of respectability politics often ties activism, such as the Day of Rage, with violence. It peddles an idealised version of social movements wherein protest is only validated if it is entrenched in idolised, semi-mythological 'peace'; such politics often forget that even the most peaceful of protests, such as campaigns lead by the American Civil Rights movement in the '60s, have often been met with brutality from social elites and governmental bodies.
It is necessary, therefore, to begin the work of disentangling the assumed correlation of anger and violence. It is possible to be outraged and not be promoting violence. However, social change is not meant to feel comfortable. Growth and conversation, especially around difficult subjects such as public housing, Government negligence, and social reform, often bring into question a lot of deeply held beliefs that are sometimes ingrained in the culture and identity of a nation. While it is never appropriate to capitalise off of the deaths of others in order to make a point, it is important to recognise the ability of tragic events to both instigate crucial dialogues and create opportunities for growth and learning.
Hopefully, the discussions started by the Grenfell Tower fire will continue past headlines. Tragedies often create space for important cross-party communication, and at best could lead to a partial depolarisation of the Parliamentary sphere. Oftentimes, however, the national attention wanes, and no meaningful reform occurs. For the sake of those affected by the fire, I hope this is not the case.


Hello Lovelies I have a review of a foundation for my dry / normal skin ladies. I recently tried this foundation and I just had to share with you all how amazing it is.
As some of you know my skin has been really dry; which must be from my pregnancy. So I was on the hunt for a new blowy/ dewy foundation. And I found it.
I made a short video on it if interested in watching, how I apply it and just general info.
Smooths skin and reduces the appearance of fine line or wrinkles.
Overall I really enjoy this foundation and I feel its not spoken about enough. Its great for val and winter time. Looks amazing on the skin I give this foundation a 10/10.

So Pas Track & Field Keeps on Racing, Jumping to Victory
The South Pasadena High School track & field team took a moment to memorialize a recent road trip to a meet by having a team photograph taken. It appears the Tigers are going to claim another league championship. Courtesy photo
The South Pasadena track & field program keeps racking up wins, personal bests and taking home the top prize in most dual meets.
The team took home nearly every category recently against La Cañada as well as San Marino. This holds true for both girls and boys, especially in the sprints. The team is especially strong in the 100, 200, 400- and 800-meter dashes.
Standouts so far are the Trinidad twins Ferrel and Terrel Mansano along with Ivan Estrada, who came to the forefront last football season. The Mansano brothers are only 15 and a tearing up the meets in the varsity dashes, especially varsity 200 meters.
The perennial standout for the So Pas team is TH Wei, who is excelling again this year in the 100 meters. Also, most recently he took home top honors in the mens varsity triple jump at the 3rd Annual Jim Cerveny Invite with a leap of 46-00. He bested a field of 17 jumpers from the greater San Diego region. Wei wasn't done for the day as he took home the top prize also in the mens varsity long jump, 21-10.
Also, Andrew Parkinson is most assuredly making a name for himself, his dad, Mike, was a former So Pas track star and coach. The younger Parkinson has excelled in the 1600 meters and the high jump, although he was bested by La Cañada jumper Luke Johnson by a hair's breadth, 5-04 to 5-00.
There are, of course, girls who are excelling as expected but also there are soccer players that have come over for the first- time running track that are performing well. Emma (Booch) Barrera, for one, is holding her own after being a standout on the girls varsity soccer squad.
CB Richards, head coach, said he was curious to see how well the soccer players would perform. There has not been any disappointment, he said.
Not to be outdone, South Pasadena came in second during the womens varsity 4X800 with a time of 9:50.05 at the Cerveny Invite. The relay team consisted of Amelia Jarolim, Rainey Tilley, Lindsay Michels and Sydney Morrow.
Richards said that for any team to beat South Pasadena at a dual meet that squad would have to be at its very best. So far, that has not occurred.
"The track team season continues," Richards said in an email to The Review as he was traveling with the team. "We are headed to San Diego for an overnight travel trip. We will compete at the Jim Cerveny Invitational tomorrow morning (April 13) at Mission Bay High School."
The squad took on Blair High School this past Thursday and is scheduled to compete in the 61st Annual Mt. SAC Relays Saturday, April 20.
As the squad heads into the Rio Hondo League finals next Friday, they hold a commanding lead over all their opponents. The boys and girls varsity squads are 4-0 while the boys and girls frosh-soph teams also are 4-0. It looks like the South Pasadena track & field program is going to claim another consecutive league championship.
South Pasadena standouts for this season Ivan Estrada and Terrel Mansano battle to place in the 400 meters…
…The race heated up as it moved down the line as Ivan Estrada and Terrel Mansano beat back San Marino.
…And place they did, with Terrel Mansano, originally from Trinidad, taking home the top prize in the 400 meters.

The John Muir Way is one of Scotland's Great Trails. It runs for 134 miles (215 km) coast-to-coast across central Scotland, from Helensburgh on the Clyde to Dunbar on the North Sea. The route is as suitable for cyclists as for walkers, and it can be tackled as a coast-to-coast expedition or in sections – typically ten for walkers or five for cyclists. Our all-new 2018 second edition includes the latest route updates approaching Strathblane and in Linlithgow, as well as the Three Lochs Way option leaving Helensburgh. It has mapping at 1:75,000 on 20 of its pages.
The John Muir Way's appeal ranges from the Charles Rennie Mackintosh architecture of Helensburgh through the scenic grandeur of Loch Lomond, along two famous canals and past the amazing Falkirk Wheel, beside the Roman Antonine Wall, passing Linlithgow Palace, Blackness Castle and the Forth Bridges to the capital glories of Edinburgh. It goes beside the Firth of Forth to reach North Berwick, then heads inland to finish at Dunbar with its ruined castle and the John Muir birthplace.

As a fan of long-distance footpath relays, I jumped at the chance to review a guidebook to the newly opened John Muir Way. What better way to test a guidebook than with armchair planning of leg distances and changeovers, followed by a whole group of people following the route? It is attractively set out, with a strip map that folds out giving a good overview of the route ... There was sufficient information to select some good changeovers with some key pubs, tea shops and points of interest mentioned. The route descriptions are in bullet point form, with boxes for points of interest and plenty of illustrations. ... So what happened when the intrepid members of JOK took up the baton? ... Nobody got seriously lost on the route or failed to find the changeovers. We started from either end and met up in the middle at the end of the day.
Bought this package last year to do the walk. You don't really need the map as a map is included at the end of the book and although it is small you only need it as a guide anyway as the walk is well waymarked. The book itself is packed with useful information on the places you pass through as well as very handy distance guides, and step-by-step info to keep you on the right track. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone thinking of undertaking what turned out to be an excellent experience.
Like all Rucksack guides, it is packed with practical tips and useful historical information about the route, backed by excellent 1:115,000-scale maps and over 90 colour photographs. Highly recommended.
This colourful and attractive guide provides a detailed route description with distances, food/drink stops, information on public transport and visitor attractions, and maps of the entire routes in six drop-down panels (1:115 000). Also included is an outline of John Muir's life and work, and there is much illustrated background material on wildlife and canal heritage. As is usual with Rucksack Reader guides, it is printed on rainproof paper and is spiral bound, enabling it to be opened flat. Rucksack Readers is a specialist guidebook publisher with a very creditable range of products.
The notebook 'flip over' style is neat, rainproof and has an easily accessible map on the rear. This was an immediate winner for me, having followed other, unwieldy, rain-soaked guides in the past. The map, though of small scale, is perfectly adequate for the purpose. ... The route cards are clear, well represented and filled with nice crisp photos. Options for varying the route are included. I like this, as it shows a non-linear thinking that many long distance footpaths appear not to allow. ... In summary, a nice, well presented, informative and handy guide to the John Muir Way. I learned a lot on my journey through this book and will certainly be trying out sections of the Way in the near future. Well recommended.
Like all other Rucksack Readers' guides, this one is full of practical tips and interesting asides.
This book is a delight. Pocket-sized and ring-bound, it has a back cover that unfolds into a map of the whole route, which you could easily follow armed with this guide alone. It's been prepared as much for cyclists as for walkers, and at times unofficial options are suggested ... The route seems destined to become one of Scotland's most popular, blessed as it is with plentiful transport links, places to eat and stay, and generally easy terrain. Acquiring a copy of this guide would be a sensible first step.
The book shares all the features we have come to know and appreciate from other Rucksack Readers: including waterproof paper, a robust spiral binding, and a fold out route map. Add in an introduction which covers planning issues such as public transport, accommodation, refreshments, timings and terrain and you really do end up with everything you need in order to dig out the hiking boots or cycle clips ... The heart of the book divides the route into 10 geographical sections, giving detailed route instructions and background information for each. In places the walking and cycling routes diverge, and there are also "unofficial" excursions and alternatives given where the "official" way omits particularly important attractions (such as Linlithgow).
Read Ken Lussey's review in full here.
The John Muir Way is a nicely produced guidebook in a format that makes it easy to slip into your rucksack and can easily be consulted while on foot or on wheels. Its information on planning the route, accommodation on the way and public transport links is comprehensive and there is plenty of extra background information both on Muir himself and on the places the trail passes through to enhance the journey. There's little to find fault with in this little guide, apart perhaps from the small scale of the maps, something that can be solved by forking out either for the Rucksack Readers map or perhaps OS mapping. Anyone wanting to take the first steps on a multi-day long-distance trail will be well served by this guide.
