07 Dec Enhanced terms Manica Western Alluvial Concession
RNS Number : 6281Y
Xtract announces significantly enhanced terms for the western portion of the Manica alluvial concession
The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's wholly-owned Mozambican subsidiary, Explorator Limitada ("Explorator") has negotiated significantly enhanced terms for the western portion of the alluvial concession under the existing Mining Contractor agreement dated 19 June 2017 ("June Mining Contractor Agreement" or "June Agreement") with Omnia Mining Ltd and Moz Gold Group Limitida ("Contract Miners") for the exploitation of alluvial gold deposits at its Manica mining concession in Mozambique.
· Addendum to the June Mining Contract Agreement agreed between the Company and the Contract Miners
· Western mining area to be divided into two blocks ("M" blocks and "O" blocks)
· Moz Gold Group Limitada ("Moz") appointed on an exclusive basis to conduct alluvial mining and process on the M blocks
· Omnia Mining Limited ("Omnia") has agreed to enter into a new agreement for the O blocks
Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said:
"The size of the project is such that the division of the western half of the alluvial project was agreed to in the best interest of all parties, especially on the basis that Omnia has a significant alluvial plant some 3km west of the Manica Concession that has large capacity and is currently under-utilised. The amended June Agreement is expected to enable a significant increase in production from the two plants which will have the effect in increasing revenue whilst reducing operating risk."
Addendum to the June Mining Contractor Agreement
Pursuant to the Addendum to the June Mining Contractor Agreement, Explorator has appointed Moz Group Limitada on an exclusive basis to conduct alluvial mining on the Permitted Area (the "M" Blocks) and to process the mined ore for the recovery of Gold.
Omnia Mining Limited will cancel all their rights and benefits under the June Mining and Processing Agreement and will enter into a new agreement with the Company for all the "O" blocks on the Permitted Area.
Omnia Mining Limited has agreed to sign a new agreement with the Company within 60 days and will be free of any claims and responsibilities pursuant to the June Mining and Processing Agreement.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation No. 596/2014 on market abuse.

Use sport as diplomatic tool, expert urges
Sport should be considered as important as art and music in fostering international relations, the University's Chair of Sport will argue in a keynote speech in Brussels.
Professor Grant Jarvie, a member of the University's Centre for Cultural Relations, will urge European leaders and diplomats to recognise that sport can be used to enhance a country's influence.
Professor Jarvie will address the conference, Sport in Foreign Policy : Culture of Fairness, on Wednesday 10 December. It has been organised by the State of Baden-Wurttemberg and the ifa (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen).
Harnessing the power of sport
The gathering of European foreign diplomats, civil servants, and politicians will look at sport as a form of 'soft power', how global sport is linked to foreign policy and development goals, the ethical versus realpolitik approach of nation states, and how sport can enhance intercultural communication.
In his speech, Professor Jarvie will examine how sport can not only help create bonds between and within countries, but even aid in preventing conflict.
He will urge all those at the forum to work together to exploit the reach and influence of sport.
The role of the arts has long since been recognised, and celebrated in European culture as a valuable social tool. I would argue that sport should be awarded the same status with European cultural relations. It should not be considered to be of inferior significance to art or music and should be a necessary part of the modern toolbox of any diplomat, ambassador or any individual charged with fostering international cultural relations.

AFP June 8, 2014 June 8, 2014
HAVANA, Cuba – Negotiators trying to end Latin America's oldest civil war agreed Saturday to set up a truth commission that addresses the deaths of thousands of people in five decades of conflict.
The move is seen as a stride toward a possible peace deal in Colombia.
"What we are announcing today is a historic step forward on the effort to put victims at the center of the [peace] process," said ex-Vice President Humberto de la Calle.
"These principles are unprecedented — never heard of before in Colombia, or in any other peace process," the leader of President Juan Manuel Santos' negotiating team stressed at the Cuban-hosted talks.
The Marxist FARC rebels and Colombian government also agreed to recognize victims on both sides of the conflict, as well as address victims' rights, reparations and safety guarantees.
Preliminary truth commission panel hearings are due to start next month in several locations.
"We are taking the first steps in a process full of thorny issues and enormous misunderstandings," FARC lead negotiator Iván Márquez said.
The two sides promised in a joint statement that they would "not be trading blame" at this stage.
The date of the next rounds of peace talks has yet to be announced.
The FARC meanwhile declared a unilateral ceasefire starting Monday ahead of a June 15 presidential runoff pitting Santos, of the center-right, against conservative Iván Zuluaga.
The ceasefire will stretch June 9-30, said FARC chief Timoleón Jiménez.
Talks to end the FARC's 50-year-old insurgency have been under way since November 2012.
Santos has said he hopes to accelerate the process, but with less than two weeks to go, its future will depend on the outcome of the election.
Zuluaga has said there can only be a peace if the FARC — with an estimated 7,000-8,000 fighters — declares a permanent ceasefire and its leaders go to jail.
Among key issues still to be ironed out are the surrender of weapons by the FARC and how to enshrine a comprehensive peace agreement in law.

Claro walnut waterfall coffee table
September 8, 2020 by Kelly Maxwell
Waterfall coffee table design by Kelly Maxwell named "Claro Falls." The design features a single wood slab cut with the roots attached. In addition, a notch cut from the live edge slab creating a leg via the fold. Thus, continuous flow from the floor to the end of the table-top. While a fun, fresh burl wood coffee table design, it is also functional.
Claro walnut burl wood coffee table features a simple wood base. If you did not know, most burls are found underground in the roots of trees.
One of the unique qualities of air-dried wood is the rich color tones of the wood.
Built from ethically sourced, Juglans Hindsii also known as Claro walnut commonly used in walnut groves. Woodworkers around the world covet the wood from these trees. I prefer air-dried material thus I tend to carry a large inventory. What does it mean to air-dry? Basically, I sit on or hold wood slabs for many years. The average time from a tree cut down and milled to finish a finished coffee table takes at least 5 years.
The Waterfall coffee table features a unique burl wood slab. Made in the USA using ethically sourced material native to the Pacific Northwest.
To purchase my work, give me a call or shot me an email. If you are in Nashville, TN, stop by the Gallery at Littlebranch and see my work and other artisans' works. If not, check them out on the web at https://littlebranchfarm.com/
Artisan rustic furniture at its best but remember I also do commission work so if a waterfall live edge coffee table fits your fancy.
Inspired by nature, Kelly Maxwell designs and builds a unique style of rustic furniture that elicits awe and wonder. "I work with wood found in nature," says Kelly, "as it reveals an organic beauty that transcends woodworking into an art form." "Many times, it's like polishing a hidden gem." As a self-made furniture maker, Kelly stays true to his humble roots as he expands his craft.

Mitrefinch Human Resources Software facilitates the recruitment process, helping HR find and hire the best employees for the job. The hr recruitment software identifies vacancies immediately, and stores details on open jobs so they can be filled as expediently as possible.
Once vacancies are noted, the system enables human resources to post vacancies on the organization's website, and to track applicants as they come in.
Details about each applicant can be stored within the module, including information on how well their skills and experience match the vacancy, resumes, letters of recommendation, and interview notes. When human resources staff wants to revisit applicants or compare applicants to one another, they simply log into the recruitment module, click on the applicant's name, and review details.
The system works with new applicants, but is also able to seamlessly integrate current employees into the application process.
The Mitrefinch recruitment module can be configured to automatically communicate with individuals or with groups, freeing up the time of human resources so they can focus on finding the best candidates. For example, the system can be programmed to send letters to a group of applicants who do not meet job qualifications, or to let job contenders know that another applicant has been hired for the position.
Once the recruitment process for a particular job is over and a candidate has been chosen, the Mitrefinch software automatically changes the status of a candidate to that of employee.

The Italian...
Jean-Antoine Watteau (French: [ʒan‿ɑ̃twan vato]; baptised October 10, 1684 – died July 18, 1721),[2] better known as Antoine Watteau, was a French painter whose brief career spurred the revival of interest in colour and movement, as seen in the tradition of Correggio and Rubens. He revitalized the waning Baroque style, shifting it to the less severe, more naturalistic, less formally classical Rococo.
Watteau is credited with inventing the genre of fêtes galantes, scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm, suffused with a theatrical air. Some of his best known subjects were drawn from the world of Italian comedy and ballet.
Early life and training
Watteau was born in the town of Valenciennes in October 1684,[1] which had recently passed from the Spanish Netherlands to France. His father, Jean-Philippe Watteau (died 1720), was a tiler whose brawling is documented fact. Showing an early interest in painting, Jean-Antoine may have been apprenticed to Jacques-Albert Gérin, a local painter.[1] Jean-Antoine's first artistic subjects were charlatans selling quack remedies on the streets of Valenciennes.[1] Watteau left for Paris in about 1702. There he found employment in a workshop at Pont Notre-Dame, making copies of popular genre paintings in the Flemish and Dutch tradition; it was in that period that he developed his characteristic sketchlike technique.
In 1703 he was employed as an assistant by the painter Claude Gillot, whose work represented a reaction against the turgid official art of Louis XIV's reign. In Gillot's studio Watteau became acquainted with the characters of the commedia dell'arte (its actors had been expelled from France several years before), a favorite subject of Gillot's that would become one of Watteau's lifelong passions. Afterward he moved to the workshop of Claude Audran III, an interior decorator, under whose influence he began to make drawings admired for their consummate elegance. Audran was the curator of the Palais du Luxembourg, where Watteau was able to see the magnificent series of canvases painted by Peter Paul Rubens for Queen Marie de Medici. The Flemish painter would become one of his major influences, together with the Venetian masters he would later study in the collection of his patron and friend, the banker Pierre Crozat.
Later career
Pleasures of Love (1718 - 1719)
The Feast (or Festival) of Love (1718 - 1719)
The Embarkation for Cythera, 1717, Louvre. Many commentators note that it depicts a departure from the island of Cythera, the birthplace of Venus, thus symbolizing the brevity of love.
In 1709 Watteau tried to obtain the Prix de Rome and was rejected by the Academy. In 1712 he tried again and was considered so good that, rather than receiving the one-year stay in Rome for which he had applied, he was accepted as a full member of the Academy. He took five years to deliver the required "reception piece", but it was one of his masterpieces: the Pilgrimage to Cythera, also called the Embarkation for Cythera.
Interestingly, while Watteau's paintings seem to epitomize the aristocratic elegance of the Régence (though he actually lived most of his short life under the oppressive climate of Louis XIV's later reign), he never had aristocratic patrons. His buyers were bourgeois such as bankers and dealers.
Although his mature paintings seem to be so many depictions of frivolous fêtes galantes, they in fact display a sober melancholy, a sense of the ultimate futility of life, that makes him, among 18th-century painters, one of the closest to modern sensibilities. His many imitators, such as Nicolas Lancret and Jean-Baptiste Pater, borrowed his themes but could not capture his spirit.
Among his most famous paintings, beside the two versions of the Pilgrimage to Cythera (one in the Louvre, the other in the Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin), are Pierrot (long identified as "Gilles"), Fêtes venitiennes, Love in the Italian Theater, Love in the French Theater, "Voulez-vous triompher des belles?" and Mezzetin. The subject of his hallmark painting, Pierrot or Gilles, with his slowly fading smile, seems a confused actor who appears to have forgotten his lines; he has materialized into the fearful reality of existence, sporting as his only armor the pathetic clown costume. The painting may be read as Watteau's wry comment on his mortal illness.
Watteau's final masterpiece, the Shop-sign of Gersaint, exits the pastoral forest locale for a mundane urban set of encounters. Painted at Watteau's own insistence, "to take the chill off his fingers", this sign for the shop in Paris of the paintings dealer Edme François Gersaint is effectively the final curtain of Watteau's theatre. It has been described as Watteau's Las Meninas, in that the theme appears to be the promotion of art. The scene is an art gallery where the façade has magically vanished. The gallery and street in the canvas are fused into one contiguous drama.
Watteau alarmed his friends by a carelessness about his future and financial security, as if foreseeing he would not live for long. In fact he had been sickly and physically fragile since childhood. In 1720, he travelled to London, England, to consult Dr. Richard Mead, one of the most fashionable physicians of his time and an admirer of Watteau's work. However, London's damp and smoky air offset any benefits of Dr. Mead's wholesome food and medicines. Watteau returned to France and spent his last few months on the estate of his patron, Abbé Haranger, where he died in 1721 perhaps from tuberculous laryngitis at the age of 36. The Abbé said Watteau was semi-conscious and mute during his final days, clutching a paint brush and painting imaginary paintings in the air.[3]
His nephew, Louis Joseph Watteau, son of Antoine's brother Noël Joseph Watteau (1689–1756), and grand nephew, François-Louis-Joseph Watteau, son of Louis, followed Antoine into painting.
Critical assessment and legacy
Little known during his lifetime beyond a small circle of his devotees, Watteau "was mentioned but seldom in contemporary art criticism and then usually reprovingly".[4] Sir Michael Levey once noted that Watteau "created, unwittingly, the concept of the individualistic artist loyal to himself, and himself alone". If his immediate followers (Lancret and Pater) would depict the unabashed frillery of aristocratic romantic pursuits, Watteau in a few masterpieces anticipates an art about art, the world of art as seen through the eyes of an artist. In contrast to the Rococo whimsicality and licentiousness cultivated by Boucher and Fragonard in the later part of Louis XV's reign, Watteau's theatrical panache is usually tinged with a note of sympathy, wistfulness, and sadness at the transience of love and other earthly delights.
Soon after his death a series of engravings was made after his works, The Recueil Jullienne. The quality of the reproductions, using a mixture of engraving and etching following the practice of the Rubens engravers, varied according to the skill of the people employed by Jean de Jullienne, but was often very high. Such a comprehensive record was hitherto unparalleled. This helped disseminate his influence round Europe and into the decorative arts.
Watteau's influence on the arts (not only painting, but the decorative arts, costume, film, poetry, music) was more extensive than that of almost any other 18th-century artist. According to the 1911 Britannica, "in his treatment of the landscape background and of the atmospheric surroundings of the figures can be found the germs of Impressionism". The Watteau dress, a long, sacklike dress with loose pleats hanging from the shoulder at the back, similar to those worn by many of the women in his paintings, is named after him. A revived vogue for Watteau began in England during the British Regency, and was later encapsulated by the Goncourt brothers and the World of Art. In 1984 Watteau societies were created in Paris, by Jean Ferré, and London, by Dr. Selby Whittingham. A major exhibition in Paris, Washington and Berlin commemorated the tercentenary of his birth in 1984. Since 2000 a Watteau centre has been established at Valenciennes by Professor Chris Rauseo. A catalogue of his drawings has been compiled by Pierre Rosenberg, replacing the one by Sir Karl Parker, and Alan Wintermute is preparing one for his paintings.
Lost painting found
La Surprise, painted around 1718, was known only through a copy in the Royal Collection before the original was found during a routine insurance valuation in 2007. The oil painting shows an actor playing a guitar on a stone bench looking across at a couple locked in an amorous embrace. The action is watched by a small dog in the corner. The painting was sold at auction on July 8, 2008 for 15 million Euros; this set a world record price for a painting by Watteau.

Judge rules against Pawlenty on budget cuts
Tom Scheck and Madeleine Baran
December 30, 2009 10:34 p.m.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced more than $2.7 billion in budget cuts he was making through a process called unallotment, during a news conference June 16, 2009. A Ramsey County judge Thursday ruled that Pawlenty's actions were unconstitutional.

A Minnesota judge has ordered the state to reinstate money for a food program that Gov. Tim Pawlenty cut from the budget, saying he acted unconstitutionally.
Six low-income Minnesotans had asked the court to continue funding a $5.3 million program that helps pay for their dietary needs. The lawsuit challenges whether Pawlenty had the constitutional authority to unilaterally cut spending.
Ramsey County District Judge Kathleen Gearin granted their wish in an order issued on Wednesday. Her temporary restraining order keeps the money intact indefinitely.
Minnesota Supplemental Aid Special Diet Program helps low-income Minnesotans buy food required by a special diet, as prescribed by a doctor.
"When the governor cut the program, that was very hard," said Debra Branley, of Duluth, one of the plaintiffs. "For me, that was $350 a month. That's a lot of money."
Branley, 56, had been receiving the payments for about two years, following a kidney transplant that left her disabled. The program allowed her to buy high-protein foods and supplements recommended by her doctor.
She expressed anger about the cuts, and said that she cannot afford to buy groceries on her current income -- about $700 a month in Social Security disability payments and $21 in food assistance.
"The authority of the Governor to unallot is an authority intended to save the state in times of a previously unforeseen budget crisis."
"It's real easy to make cuts like that if you're living real well, you know, and you get a nice paycheck," Branley said. "I'd like to say to them, 'Here's 21 dollars for the month. This is what you have to live off of. Let's see how you're going to manage.'"
In a written ruling, Gearin said the governor misused an executive power known as unallotment. The power allows the governor to cut funding without legislative approval.
"The authority of the Governor to unallot is an authority intended to save the state in times of a previously unforeseen budget crisis," Gearin wrote in her ruling. "It is not meant to be used as a weapon by the executive branch to break a stalemate in budget negotiations with the Legislature, or to rewrite the appropriations bill."
The case stems from $2.7 billion in cuts the Republican governor announced this summer to balance the budget.
The governor's office issued a statement expressing disappointment in the judge's decision.
"We are weighing all of our options including appeal, reestablishing unallotments under the current forecast, potential legislative action, and other options," the statement said.
An attorney for Pawlenty had argued that the state would have trouble paying its bills if the administration lost, because others hit by cuts would see it as an invitation to file similar lawsuits.
Another part of the lawsuit contends that Pawlenty's cuts to the Renter Property Tax Refund program are also unconstitutional. Gearin did not address this charge in Wednesday's ruling.
Galen Robinson, who is representing Branley and the others on the special diet program, said he's confident that Gearin's order is a signal that they'll be successful when the case goes to trial. Robinson also said it's possible that others could join the suit.
"I would expect that there will be some who may try to come in and say 'ours too' needs to be put back, but I think the other part of this is a lot of the amounts that were unalloted don't happen right away," Robinson said. "So you'll have to look which ones have already taken effect to try to determine who might be interested in coming in at this time."
A separate suit takes issue with the governor's unallotment of money for the state's Political Contribution Refund. The program provides a tax refund for donors to major party candidates.
The decision is a political blow for the governor. Pawlenty, who has not ruled out a run for the White House in 2012, has made his budget cutting a signature issue.
DFL House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, who is running for governor, said she hopes Pawlenty will now work more closely with the Legislature. "Based on Judge Gearin's order, it would be really well advised if the governor takes a more cooperative and problem solving approach," Kelliher said.
That may be easier said than done. The two sides have been at loggerheads over the best way to balance the budget. Pawlenty wants to erase the deficit by spending cuts alone, but Democrats say a balanced approach with spending cuts and tax increases is the best option.

The 100 Year History Project was a two-year collaboration (2014-2016) involving over 300 children from ten schools across Ireland and Northern Ireland. The project offered an opportunity for children to have active participation in the Decade of Commemorations (1912-1922) and to meaningfully contribute to the commemorative experience through their own self-directed research.
Within the school context, the children led a research process that was focused around open discussion and creative activity with a professional artist and writer. One of the aims of the project was to uncover stories from within the communities where the schools are situated. Leading questions for the process were: How do we link the local and the global in a meaningful way? In researching stories with local relevance, how do we meaningfully include the large number of children whose ancestors might have been in far flung parts of the world in the early 20th Century?
Across an Open Field: Stories and artwork by children from Ireland and Northern Ireland about the Decade of Commemorations 1912-1922 was published as one of the project's outcomes.

Foghat cymbal crashes require no caffeine buzz on Odds' new Nest
June 22, 2014 · by the newt	· in from the 'hood.	·
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, MARCH 13, 1997
What better place to interview Odds singer-guitarist Craig Northey than at the Roxy Cabaret on Granville? Not only do they have beer there, but it's also the old haunt of Dawn Patrol, the Odds' alter ego house band, which played there from 1988 to '91, delivering classic rock—and comical asides—to the venue's party-hearty college crowd. In an era when such venerable music venues as the nearby Commodore Ballroom have closed down, the Top 40–driven Roxy just keeps packing them in.
"I think this place had an angle," offers Northey, hunched over a table in a dark corner of the Roxy's back room. "Original venues rely on promoters and people taking a risk on something new, and this is a different idea altogether. In '87, when we [Dawn Patrol] started, there was nothing really happening—the Savoy had shut down, and the Town Pump was about the only thing happening, so the most you could pray to play was once every couple of weeks, maybe. And if you were gonna develop as an original band you had to have a plan to play as much as you could, 'cause that's the only way to work out the kinks.
"But I'm especially sad about the Commodore," he adds, "because that was a place that I dreamed of playing. At the first gig I played there, my parents showed up in tuxedo and formal wear, 'cause that's how they remember it. They aren't that out of touch—they wanted to do it anyway—but it was just a really cool thing. And as we eventually had records out there and people knew us more, to have the place fill up was just an amazing thing. I don't know what'll happen [with the Commodore], but I know it'll be back."
Northey's faith in the rebirth of Vancouver's best rock stage is typical of musicians who honed their chops on the local club scene; many of them also have hazy, beer-clouded recollections of gigs at such defunct venues as the Savoy. That old Gastown joint holds particularly keen memories for Northey because the original Odds lineup had its first gig there, on November 25, 1987.
The date is ingrained in Northey's mind because it's also the day that his longtime pal, former Georgia Straight concert photographer–accountant Liam Regan, became a dad. "So the band has a son!" quips Northey. "It's not biologically ours, but he represents how old we are, and when you look at him it just freaks you out."
Also near and dear to Northey were the Savoy's stage setup and its loyal clientele ("It was like Cheers for dysfunctional musicians"), but when the club closed down he and fellow Oddsballs Steven Drake and Doug Elliott continued to thrive at the Roxy. Dawn Patrol played five nights a week and used the proceeds from its lucrative house gig to pay for the recording of original material during the day. Before long, the Odds had released their debut Neapolitan CD on Zoo/BMG, and when the band switched to the Warner label in '95 and delivered Good Weird Feeling, it had a platinum success on its hands—much to its surprise.
"I think we're always surprised," says Northey, "because we're operating on the basis of writing songs that we like, and just hoping that there's enough people out there that like 'em. The record-label change was probably good, because they [Warner] really worked hard to make sure people knew who we were. And a lot of it had to do with the fact that we'd been around all those years and had songs on the radio—although nobody knew we played them still. After some gigs you'd be walking out and people would say, 'Those last couple of songs you played were exactly like the record to me. Who originally did those?'
"But then we started that whole album off with the tour with the Hip—which is about the biggest thing that you can probably do in Canada—and you could see the Pop-Rocks in people's brains exploding as they added up the math: 'Oh, they did that song.' "
"Heterosexual Man", "Eat My Brain", and "It Falls Apart" are some of the catchy Odds tunes that have latched their hooks into people's pop sensibilities over the years, and last October the band—with former Bryan Adams drummer Pat Steward replacing current Big Sugar drummer Paul Brennan in the lineup—unleashed 11 more irresistible tracks on its Nest CD. That disc was immaculately recorded by co–lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Drake, whose other behind-the-scenes credits include coproducing 54•40's Trusted by Millions and mixing the Tragically Hip's Trouble at the Henhouse.
"Our philosophy in the beginning was really do-it-yourself," says Northey, "and when we went in the studio with the money we made from Dawn Patrol we hired ourselves—we were like our own little Trebas Institute. And Steven was really enthusiastic and on the board early. He's really into the tech things, and he's also of course really musical, which gives him a sense for mixing and engineering."
Highlights of Nest are plentiful, but songs such as "Hurt Me", "Nothing Beautiful", "Make You Mad", and the first single, "Someone Who's Cool", show the band to be taking a punchier tack than before. "There are a few more beats per minute," agrees Northey, whose band plays the Rage next Sunday (March 23). "Maybe we've just been medium-tempo rockers for such a long time that we needed a new pair of pants."
Chatting with Northey, you get the impression that he takes the Odds' platinum status with a grain of salt; he comes off as a misfit-outsider who hasn't yet accepted the fact that there are thousands of people who are nuts about his band. That self-deprecating attitude is at the core of "Someone Who's Cool": "It was the suit that got me the gig/it was the tear that got me the girl/I'm a sheep in this wolf clothing/I'm a picture that I'm holding of someone who is cool."
"The whole idea is we're not very cool," he says. "We've always had a problem with that, you know. We can't put on the Billy Joel leather jacket and glasses and then sell albums. We are what we are."
Northey may be convinced that he and his mates are firmly rooted in Squaresville, but one listen to Nest is all the proof of inherent coolness that this scribbler needs. Forget about Billy Joel—these guys rock, and the addition of skin-slammer Steward helps a lot in that respect. Northey admits that it doesn't take much to get the '70s-rock maniac in a serious boogie mood.
"Pat is a major Foghat fan," quips Northey, "so you can play on his tenderest, most sentimental pleasures by saying, 'Pat, at the end of this can you run those Roger Earl crashes, like bang, bang?' A big smile comes to his face and his back straightens up, and all of a sudden he doesn't need coffee."

Busy. I'm busy. I'm too busy. I don't have time to think – hell, I barely have time to sleep.

I've gotten into a pattern of trying to make every second add value (work-type value). What does it turn into? Burn out and ineffectiveness, and that is not what anyone wants or needs.

Rebecca Warren
Warren is a sculptor of more or less figurative, more or less expressive forms in clay, bronze and welded steel, and an orchestrator of fragments displayed often but not exclusively within wall-mounted vitrines. She works with an eye to extremes – monstrous excess, alarming paucity – creating a variety of objects that she describes as existing 'somewhere on the continuum between pure fleshiness and pure cartoonishness.' Hers is a restless, sometimes contradictory art, the result of sustained contemplation of the creative impulse and the mysterious potency of images and objects. Always evident in Warren's sculpture is the negotiation between thought and process. Ideas (about authorship and authenticity) and influences (literary, psychological and pop cultural reference in addition to variously audible echoes from art history) are filtered, distorted and often discarded as they find three dimensional form.
The exhibition at the Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens presents work of Rebecca Warren in Belgium for the first time. Warren has recently shown at the Venice Biennale (2011), the Renaissance Society (2010), the Art Institute of Chicago (2010), and the Serpentine Gallery in London (2009); she lives and works in London.

Two children injured when fleeing car crashes in Plant City
FOX 13 News
PLANT CITY, Fla. - A driver fleeing from deputies ended up causing a crash that left several people injured, including two children who were unrestrained in the car.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, it was just before noon when deputies were called to a report of shots fired in the Plant City area. When they arrived at the scene, they encountered the car and tried to pull it over.
That's when they say the driver, 27-year-old Troy Tatum of Lithia, accelerated toward the deputies, nearly striking them, then fled west towards Highway 60.
"The deputy was trying to move out of the way and the driver of the vehicle actually swerved his vehicle head on, almost striking the deputy, causing him to move out of the way," said Morris.
The fleeing vehicle crossed the median at Smith Ryals Road and struck an oncoming car. Both vehicles ended up in a field beside the roadway, with the suspect car overturned.
"The airbag deployed, which probably saved his life," Morris said of the driver of the other vehicle.
Two children, ages 3 and 6, were unrestrained in the suspect's vehicle. They were taken by ambulance to the hospital.
"We have children who are unrestrained, they don't get a say in the matter," said Capt. Donald Morris, of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
A female passenger from the suspect's vehicle was injured badly enough to be flown from the scene.
The driver of the second vehicle was the only person in the car. His condition was not immediately clear, but was not taken to the hospital.
Tatum is facing charges for aggravated assault on an officer and fleeing to elude. He was already wanted in Polk County for resisting an officer and having drugs.
"What is the moral? The moral is when the police turn on their lights, stop," said Morris. "We have two children 3 and 6 who did not get a say in this and had to ride by ambulance to a hospital where now they are scared and we are trying to make sure they are going to be OK."
Tatum could still face charges for causing the accident itself.
Deputies found no shots were fired despite the initial call.

High-risk human papillomavirus infection in female and subsequent risk of infertility: a population-based cohort study
In a large population-based cohort study of Danish women, we found no association between infection with high-risk human papillomavirus and subsequent infertility.
Editorial Office, American Society for Reproductive Medicine
Volume 111, Issue 6, Pages 1236–1242
Bugge Nøhr, M.D., Ph.D., Susanne Krüger Kjaer, M.D., D.M.Sc., Liv Soylu, M.D., Allan Jensen, M.Sc., Ph.D.
To study whether infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), registered both as a single HPV positive test and as HPV persistence, increases the risk of female factor infertility in later reproductive life.
Population-based cohort study.
Patient(s)
A random sample of 11,088 women (20–29 years of age at enrollment) tested for cervical HPV at enrollment during 1991–93 and again after 2 years. Information on female factor infertility was obtained by linkage to the Danish Infertility Cohort.
Intervention(s)
Main Outcome Measure(s)
Follow-up for each study participant was the period from the date of enrollment or date of the second visit until diagnosis of female factor infertility (main outcome), conception, death, emigration, disappearance, or end of study period. Data were analyzed by means of a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between HPV status and female factor infertility after adjustment for potentially confounding factors were determined.
After relevant exclusions, 10,595 women were eligible for analysis, 1,861 (17.6%) of whom were high-risk HPV positive at the first visit. There was no association between a positive HPV test at first visit (HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.75–1.02) or positivity for the same high-risk HPV type at the first and second visit (persistence; HR = 0.97; 95% CI, 0.66–1.44) and subsequent risk of female factor infertility in reproductive life.
Conclusion(s)
We found no association between a high-risk HPV infection and risk of female factor infertility, neither for a single HPV positive test nor for a persistent HPV infection.

Multidrug resistant P. falciparum malaria is now established in parts of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, causing high treatment failure rates for artemisinin combination therapies, the main falciparum malaria medicines. A further spread from Myanmar to India then sub-Saharan Africa would be a global public health disaster. TME seeks the best ways to eliminate drug-resistant malaria, using both technical solutions and novel ways that engage entire communities.
View Podcast Transcript
Targeted Malaria Elimination
Artemisinin resistance has emerged in Cambodia, eastern Myanmar, southern Lao PDR (Laos) and Vietnam. This severely compromises falciparum malaria control efforts in the region, which depends on the continued efficacy of artemisinin combination therapies (ACT). Artemisinin resistance has the potential to spread throughout the malaria endemic regions of the world. The severity of this threat has been recognized and containment efforts have started or are under development. Addressing the problem involves elimination of falciparum malaria in areas of artemisinin resistance. If parasite populations in these foci are allowed to remain, evolving artemisinin resistance related to continuing drug pressure will spread.
In the last decade, P. falciparum transmission in the Greater Mekong Subregion has decreased substantially. A reversal of the current progress in malaria control would have tragic consequences. We explore the use of presumptive antimalarial treatment with Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHA-PIP) of entire village populations. This intervention will target communities with significant levels of subclinical parasite infections and transmission.
DHA-PIP is a highly efficacious and inexpensive ACT, which is well tolerated by all age groups when used to treat uncomplicated multidrug resistant falciparum malaria in South East Asia. Monthly DHA-PIP treatments have proved highly effective and well tolerated. When used as part of a TME strategy, the addition of a gametocytocidal drug such as primaquine (PQ), will contribute a strong transmission blocking activity by killing gametocytes. PQ, the only currently licensed 8-aminoquinoline, is safe and effective when used at a dose of 0.25 mg base/kg irrespective of G6PD status.

The West Point Series by Paul Malone -Penn Publishing
The West Point Series written by Paul B. Malone and published by Penn Publishing Company is a 5 book series that chronicles the adventures of Douglas Atwell at West Point. This series was initially published between 1904 and 1911 and then was reprinted numerous times. In fact the books are still listed in a 1939 Penn catalogue. I suspect that they still were being published up until Penn went out of business in 1941.
(A quick aside: I was at West Point two months ago at the outdoor Patriot League track championships. It is an unbelievably spectacular campus. The track is right on the Hudson River and is very impressive. I include a picture. By the way, my daughter, who is a freshman and runs for Lehigh, finished third in the 1500 meter race.)
About the author. Malone was born in 1872 in Middletown, New York and graduated from West Point in 1894. He became a captain a 1901 and was promoted to Major in 1916. He was appointed Brigadier General in 1918.
His career highlights include being in command of the fifth division during the offensive at St. Mihiel in 1918. He also served in the Philippines during the Santiago Campaign between 1899-1901. He taught chemistry at West Point between 1901-1905. He received the Distinguished Service Medal for his service during World War I. ( The Fifth U.S. Division in the World War 1917-1919, The Society of the Fifth Division, 1919).
Basically the evolution of the editions of the five books is typical of most early Penn Publishing Company Series. The earliest editions have very attractive cloth covers with gold gilt supplementing the line drawn design as well as line drawn end paper illustrations. The earliest covers are all different with dust jackets that match the book covers. It appears that the designs were done by the "Decorative Designers". Later the book covers were the same for each book as were the jackets. The spine logo of the company changed in 1906 from a script TPPCo. to interlocking P's. Thus the earliest editions of books #1 and #2 have the script logo. Each book has multiple glossy illustrations done by F.A. Carter.
Later editions eliminated the gold gilt on the cover and the spine writing was black not white. The cover picture in later editions was the same for all the books.
Note that Malone's name changed during this series run.. The early books have him listed as a Captain whereas the later books list him as a Major-General.
This is a later Dust jacket. Note that the author's name is preceded by his later rank of Major General which he received in 1918.

Hello...I have a copy of the original 1907 release of "A West Point Yearling", by Captain Paul B. Malone, U.S. Army. It was given to me to appraise for a customer / friend, but the first page (inevitably the one that contains all of the copyright info) is ripped out and a couple of the other pages have been scribbled on, most likely by a child. There is some wear along the edges of the hardcover on it. Otherwise, the book is in exceptional shape (I would have to rate the condition as being good to acceptable), being that the binding is still well intact, the print on the binding still legible in white, as is the front (in black).

Or in other words ignore data. Who needs data anyway.
It is useless without models.
Now as someone once said all models are wrong.
But we can discuss a lot of physics in the models and the answers are always right.
We do not need observations or data to construct highly reliable models, especially when we know what the data will be in the future without looking at it.
In fact model data gets better and better in correlation with the models as it gets further away from actually being observed.
Eyeballing the graphs roughly there appears to be little correlation with the Lewis best estimate way below the IPCC estimate.
BBD prefers 3.0 Lewis would be lucky to be 2.0.
If the physics is right why do we have to include "more" physics? Surely impossible results will be excluded by the physics we have, if it is right in the first place, not more of it.
All the hand waving afterwards and altering of the data sets afterwards do not change the premise, at the time, on the data that was available and used, that there was a pause.
[T]he data are fully consistent with a steady global warming trend since the 1970s, superimposed with random, stationary, short-term variability. All recent variations in short-term trends are well within what was to be expected, based on the observed warming trend and the observed variability from the 1970s up to the year 2000. We discuss some pitfalls of statistical analysis of global temperatures which have led to incorrect claims of an unexpected or significant warming slowdown.
Although the alleged 'pause' was not statistically significant and was conclusively terminated in 2014, it attracted attention from climate scientists seeking to resolve 'internal', short-term variability to forcings. Rather than casting doubt on the AGW consensus, the short-term slowdown in observed warming led to refinement of models as well as datasets. Climate science advanced pretty much as one expects, and the consensus case for AGW grew still stronger. AGW-deniers hoping to weaken it, OTOH, found their 'pause' rhetoric had backfired ;^D!
Note I did say premise, not fact.
And thank you for one definition of what a pause might be.
It is difficult to discuss what one believes does not exist.
Particularly when giving proof that it did not exist because you [*Xiangdong Zhang] have found extra missing data that proves it did not exist.
I would be happy with a definition of a pause, in general, to be a zero slope trend for any graph with a time base over any reasonable fraction of the presented graph.
This is not a standard definition but since we are discussing unicorns this is the sort of definition I would prefer.
At Lucia's 2 years ago she and others argued that a steady slope with no acceleration could be taken in some circles to mean a pause. I get the idea of a non changing rate being paused but in the real world I would insist on a zero slope, that is there was a rate which has now altered to a zero slope.
As for short term there is no short term in my definition if showing a single pause as the requirement is for it to be visible on the graph shown.
We have a graph of 47 years, the authors dispute the existence of a pause while admitting several occurred by my definition [random, stationary, short-term variability]. Karsten himself acknowledges a pause was seen and named by some people " the inappropriately named "hiatus". John Hart references "average global temperatures from 1998-2012 " which would be a significant 14 years out of 47, hardly short term in the context of a 47 YO graph.
Since a lot of people here dispute that there was a pause at all.
Too short a time frame.
The graph actually went up 0.05C in the misquoted study.
Cherry picking a time after El Nino.
Definition of a pause is completely wrong.
There is no need to throw in studies showing there was a pause but….
Anthropogenic Climate Change as an entity.
Cue the Princess Bride Spaniard.
Mind you the first comment was funny in my non PC correct world.
There is a subtle difference between knowing and believing.
Found this out studying Italian Conditional verbs last week.
I guess some of the people that do not accept the existence of anthropogenic climate change know they do not have enough proof. Show them enough proof.
Others are believers, They do not need proof and you will never convince them.
They are still people and we all need to get on with people so the best thing is to be nice to them [especially your elders] and not harangue them and embarrass them in public as others have done. Some are mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends or family, some are bosses.
No need to argue with them. just ignore them.
Some are difficult contrarians on blogs. Fight them with all you have got. Expose my evasion.
The world has a lot of problems and potential problems and if your justified fears on Climate change come true there may well be severe "problems" as you put it.
If I waved a magic wand and fixed it today forever the rest of the problems would still exist.
Some of the problems would still be the same, deforestation and species rundown from anthropogenic, non climate change reasons.
Some of the problems are much more urgent and pressing than climate change and can be fixed for a fraction of the cost. Overpopulation and famine for a start.
Which one should I give allegiance to, and at what detriment to all the others?
None of the problems for a single person last more than a thinking lifetime.
Duties and obligations seem to be an undercurrent. Yet why are we lumbered with duties and obligations, culturally burdened, when we did not ask to be born?
Do you blame your forebears for not considering the consequences of invading the new world or starting the Industrial Revolution? Did they consider their descendants?
Willard might have a list of levels.
Relative Denial Some deluded people. Not CO2.
but then we have another group of people also called denialists who absolutely agree that there is AGW but just do not believe that it has to be bad or severe.
Judith Curry and R Pielke spring to mind as do nearly all Climate etc followers and most WUWT bloggers.
A definition of Anthropogenic Climate Change would be that harmful warming due to human activity [ specifically increased CO2] that produces 110% of all the warming that has occurred to date since humans first built fires and will cause anything between a 2.0 and 6.0C temperature rise by 2100 if fossil fuel use increases at the current rate.
Harmful warming being sea level rise of several meters, Increased severe flooding, droughts and weather disturbances etc.
Special mention that this effect will be irreversible and last for 100's of years.
For some strange and unaccountable reason a lot of people just do not buy this product despite testimonials from 97% of dentists.

How to Love is the third title in Parallax's Mindfulness Essentials Series of how-to titles by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, introducing beginners and reminding seasoned practitioners of the essentials of mindfulness practice. This time Nhat Hanh brings his signature clarity, compassion, and humor to the thorny question of how to love. He distills one of our strongest emotions down to four essentials: you can only love another when you feel true love for yourself; love is understanding; understanding brings compassion; deep listening and loving speech are key ways of showing our love.
Pocket-sized, with original two color illustrations by Jason DeAntonis, How to Love shows that when we feel closer to our loved ones, we are also more connected to the world as a whole. With sections on Love vs. Need, Being in Love, Reverence, Intimacy, Children and Family, Reconciling with Parents, and more, How to Love includes meditations you can do alone or with your partner to go deep inside and expand your own capacity to love.
Scientific studies indicate that meditation contributes tremendously to well-being, general health, and longevity. How to Love is a unique gift for those who want a comprehensive yet simple guide to understanding the many different kinds of love, along with meditative practices that can expand the understanding of and capacity for love, appropriate for those practicing in any spiritual tradition, whether seasoned practitioners or new to meditation.
Born in Hue, Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist monk, poet, scholar, and human rights activist. In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is author of more than one hundred books, and is one of the best known Buddhist teachers in the world today. Previous best-selling books include Being Peace and Buddha Mind Buddha Body. He lives at Plum Village, his meditation center in France, and travels worldwide, leading retreats on the art of mindful living.
