H.M.S. Thistle was one of four gunboats of the Bramble class completed for the Royal Navy about the turn of the century.
In 1913, Thistle was part of the China Squadron.
She re-commissioned at Gibraltar on 31 January, 1925 under Lieutenant-Commander John Rodolph Peronet Thompson.
In March 1925, she was ordered to return to Devonport to pay off in preparation for sale after many years on the West Coast of Africa as a station gunboat alongside H.M.S. Dwarf.
She paid off into Dockyard Control on 30 July, 1925.

New Delhi [India], Jan 31 (ANI): Alleging that the firing incident near Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) yesterday has a "direct link" to the "inflammatory speech" by Union Minister Anurag Thakur, the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) has requested the Delhi police to take action against the BJP MP.
"As we all came to know of the shocking incident of a man open firing on people who were peacefully demonstrating against CAA and NRC, leading to serious injury to a student. Now, this incident has a direct link to the inflammatory speech given by BJP MP and Union Minister Anurag Thakur on January 27, 2020, in Delhi," the letter by IYC on Thursday read.
The letter signed by IYC national president, Srinivas BV, further added, "When he appealed the crowd to open fire on those who protest against CAA and NRC and also calling them as 'Desh ke gaddaron ko goli maro saalo ko' this hateful speech triggered the perpetrator's mind who opened fire on students."
Through the letter, addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Central, New Delhi, IYC requested to take the matter seriously and take immediate action against Thakur "before this leads to further escalation of such violent incidents and that the government and police force will be responsible for not acting in time."
The IYC members later handed over the letter to the police officials at the Parliament Street police station in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police Crime Branch will produce the Jamia firing accused before the Juvenile Justice Board later today.
The accused, on Friday, said he has no remorse for what he did and was radicalised by viewing videos on social media, claimed Delhi Police.
Police sources also said that the accused had procured the country-made pistol from his village and left for Delhi in a bus to take revenge for the death of Chandan Gupta. Gupta was killed in Kasganj violence on January 26.
The accused brandished a gun despite heavy police force deployment and fired at the marching students on Thursday.
Delhi police sources said that the accused has denied having any connection or links with any organisation. (ANI)

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports that Raven QB Joe Flacco is poised to have more control over team's offense this season.
Flacco, who is entering his fifth year in the NFL, has been working a lot lately with the no-huddle offense in their last two preseason games against the Falcons and Lions. The key to all of this will depend on how much freedom offensive coordinator Cam Cameron's is willing to give Flacco at the line of scrimmage.
During the championship game, Flacco looked like a difference-maker, but the Ravens are hoping that he can continue building on that performance this season. It's somewhat of a calculated risk on their part, considering that Flacco is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. Should he put big numbers in 2012, there's a chance that he could increase his overall asking price, but you could also make the case that the Ravens want to see how he handles more responsibility before committing a huge contract to him.

Q: Div height is not increasing on appending any element I have a div with following CSS:
           div
           {
              width:600px;
              height:auto;
           }

Now my problem is when i append any element (like $('div').append(any element)) in this div its height is not increasing accordingly. Whats the problem?
EDIT
The element which i am appending has height:auto. And the div in which i am appending has empty.

A: There is no problem with that code. The auto value is the default for a div, so (assuming that there is no other style applying to the element) it's the same as just:
div { width: 600px; }

So, there is nothing that is limiting the height of the div in that code. You have to look elsewhere in your code to find something that affects the element.
Some browsers let you inspect an element, which shows you exactly what CSS applies to it. I use the Firebug plugin in Firefox for this.

A: I have no issue with the code. Here's my example two ways.

*

*onload append element http://jsfiddle.net/VnLtv/

*on click of div add elem http://jsfiddle.net/VnLtv/1/
Make sure that your code is in a $(document).ready or equivalent $(function(){

John M. S. Causin (* 1811 im Saint Mary's County, Maryland; † 30. Januar 1861 in Cairo, Illinois) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker. Zwischen 1843 und 1845 vertrat er den Bundesstaat Maryland im US-Repräsentantenhaus.

Werdegang
John Causin besuchte die öffentlichen Schulen seiner Heimat. Nach einem anschließenden Jurastudium und seiner um das Jahr 1836 erfolgten Zulassung als Rechtsanwalt begann er in Leonardtown in diesem Beruf zu arbeiten. Gleichzeitig schlug er als Mitglied der Whig Party eine politische Laufbahn ein. In den Jahren 1837 und 1843 saß er im Abgeordnetenhaus von Maryland.

Bei den Kongresswahlen des Jahres 1842 wurde Causin im ersten Wahlbezirk von Maryland in das US-Repräsentantenhaus in Washington, D.C. gewählt, wo er am 4. März 1841 die Nachfolge von Isaac Dashiell Jones antrat. Bis zum 3. März 1845 konnte er eine Legislaturperiode im Kongress absolvieren. Diese Zeit war von den Spannungen zwischen Präsident John Tyler und den Whigs geprägt. Außerdem wurde damals bereits über eine mögliche Annexion der seit 1836 von Mexiko unabhängigen Republik Texas diskutiert.

Nach dem Ende seiner Zeit im US-Repräsentantenhaus zog Causin nach Annapolis. Er nahm als Delegierter an einer Versammlung zur Überarbeitung der Verfassung von Maryland teil. Im Jahr 1858 ließ er sich in Chicago nieder, wo er als Anwalt praktizierte. Er starb am 30. Januar 1861 in Cairo und wurde in Chicago beigesetzt.

The Guide to Mining Arbitrations - First Edition
Jason A Fry and Louis-Alexis Bret
Clifford Chance Europe LLP
Over the past decade, the mining and metals sector has emerged as one of the main users of international arbitration. An increasing global demand for metals and minerals has driven foreign direct investment, and the need for complex agreements and arrangements to protect those investments. But the internationalised nature of the mining industry, its intrinsic complexity and its vulnerability to highly specific business risks also mean that the risk of disputes is ever present. The Guide to Mining Arbitration focuses on the key business risks and how they translate into disputes, and seeks to provide practical guidance to arbitration practitioners and users to help them navigate and resolve such disputes.
The mining industry features complex, capital-intensive transactions and projects, frequently involving multiple jurisdictions and a mix of private and public parties. Mining projects are usually long-term in nature and highly sensitive to political and regulatory change. They are often undertaken in emerging economies and have a significant impact on the environment and the socio-economic development of surrounding communities. In that sense, there are strong similarities with the energy sector; the breadth and scale of mining and energy-related disputes is similar.[2] It is therefore unsurprising that international arbitration is the dispute resolution mechanism of choice for both energy and mining disputes. However, mining also differs from the energy sector in certain fundamental ways.
With the energy transition towards renewable sources now well under way, certain commentators predict a gradual decline of the oil and gas industry over the next two decades. The accuracy of these forecasts can be debated. However, there is general agreement that a sustained decline in significant oil and gas investments will ultimately result in fewer arbitration disputes in the sector or these disputes becoming less significant.
Mining, on the other hand, plays a central role in the transition towards renewable energy sources. Copper is used to conduct electricity in virtually every application involving electrical power. Cobalt, lithium and zinc are used to manufacture the sophisticated batteries used to power electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. Silicon (itself derived from various minerals) is used to produce solar panels. Rare and precious metals are essential components in the manufacturing of electronic and technological products. While metal and mineral prices fluctuate in response to conjectural changes, there is a broad consensus that long-term demand for certain strategic metals will continue to grow. The resulting growth in mining investments and transactions, combined with the unique risks associated with the sector, are likely to result in a continuing increase in the number of mining arbitrations over the next decade.
The remainder of this introduction provides a brief overview of the key developments addressed in Parts I to III of this Guide.
Key business risks facing the mining sector
While the risks associated with a mining project can be numerous, these risks do not all have the same propensity to result in disputes being referred to arbitration. In the very early stages of a project, geological or exploration risks are particularly acute since the anticipated mineral resources may not meet expectations or be economically exploitable. While exploration risk constitutes the single largest risk faced by mining exploration companies around the world, it does not generally feature as a major area of contention between mining companies and other stakeholders. Conversely, political, social and environmental risks more readily materialise into mining disputes given their general impact on the viability and profitability of a given project.
Political and regulatory risks
Mining projects are more exposed to regulatory and political risk than most other commercial transactions. Mining projects commonly require the initial and ongoing cooperation of the state or of a state-owned entity, as mining rights are usually granted by the state in the form of a licence or permit enabling it to exert control over the mineral resources in its territory. Consequently, the stability of mining rights and the political and institutional landscape of the host country will impact the mining company's ability to obtain financing and the general viability and profitability of the project. Because mining projects are subject to intense political and regulatory risks they also need to promise exceptionally high returns to get off the ground. A mining project will usually only be economically viable in the long term if the legal and fiscal treatment of the project is not altered by unplanned state interference. In this context, the action or inaction of a host government is one of the key risks facing foreign investors in the mining sector. Mining projects require significant upfront investments, which can only be recouped over an extended period of time. In practical terms, this means that once investors commit large amounts of capital to a project, the bargaining power tends to shift to the host government as the investors have no way to relocate their assets abroad and will generally need years or decades to recoup their investments. This situation has been described as the 'obsolescing bargain' and explains in large part why mining projects are so sensitive to political and regulatory risks.[3]
Another factor explaining the sensitivity of mining projects to regulatory risk relates to the significant volatility of metals and minerals prices. Significant price changes may incentivise states to move opportunistically to renegotiate mining contracts or to change regulatory and fiscal terms. For instance, sharp price increases are frequently accompanied by host states seeking to capture a greater share of the 'resource rent' emanating from mining projects. Conversely, sharp decreases in prices may cause the host state to increase taxes and royalties to compensate for a decrease in gross mining revenues.
Some commentators have described the efforts of host states to increase their degree of control over natural resources located in their territory as 'resource nationalism'. These efforts often entail serious adverse consequences for mining companies, including the withdrawal or non-renewal of mining licences, changes in fiscal or environmental regulation (that significantly impact profitability), national participation requirements or forced renegotiation of contracts and even, in extreme circumstances, the direct and indirect expropriation of their assets. Unsurprisingly, these situations have the potential to give rise to significant arbitration disputes between host states and mining investors.
This is not to say, however, that host states should be prevented from regulating their mining sectors. Host states will generally have a duty to ensure that the population benefits adequately from the extraction of non-renewable natural resources in the country. Human rights, damage to the environment, climate change and social welfare are all legitimate concerns that extractive industries have in the past sometimes ignored. Most mining companies are private, commercial ventures whose primary purpose is to generate a profit for their shareholders. While most mining companies today are mindful of these concerns and committed to addressing them proactively, they are not necessarily best positioned to do so, which makes it necessary for host states to step in and enact appropriate legislation to protect the long-term interests of their populations.
However, states must be mindful to exercise their regulatory and enforcement prerogatives in a manner that is not unduly detrimental to the long-term viability of mining projects located in their territory. Inconsistent or unpredictable changes in regulation, or regulation motivated primarily by political concerns, have potentially devastating consequences on mining projects. This is why mining companies often seek to guarantee the stability of the applicable legal and fiscal regimes over the expected lifespan of their operations. Stabilisation strategies present significant practical advantages for mining companies by deterring adverse governmental action or by insulating mining projects from the impact of these actions. Stabilisation provisions also encourage the negotiated resolution of disputes by offering an incentive for the state to engage in constructive negotiations rather than act unilaterally. In that sense, effective stabilisation strategies will prevent disputes from occurring or, at the very least, help balance the parties' respective situations and arguments if a dispute proceeds to arbitration.
Stabilisation can take many forms.[4] Most often, the parties will seek to manage the allocation of risks by either directly or indirectly 'freezing' the regulatory and fiscal framework applicable to a mining project for a set period of time or for the lifespan of that project (freezing clauses), or by providing for the renegotiation and adaptation of existing financial arrangements between a mining investor and a state or a national resources company of that state (adaptation clauses). An earlier form of stabilisation sought effectively to prevent the state from changing relevant laws during a defined period of time (intangibility clauses). However, this form of stabilisation is less common nowadays, as it is considered excessively restrictive and difficult to enforce in practice.
Freezing and adaptation clauses tend to be more prevalent. Arguably, they strike a fairer balance between investors' right to protect their investment and states' 'right to regulate', which is an essential component of their duty to protect the long-term welfare of their populations. Freezing clauses will not prevent states from changing their laws. Instead, they will ensure that the previous legal or fiscal regime continues to apply to certain projects for a set period of time. Adaptation clauses are even more deferential to the states' 'right to regulate'. They do not prevent the host state from changing the law but prescribe a negotiation process to seek to restore the economic equilibrium contemplated by the parties before the change of law. The enforceability of these clauses has been debated as some jurisdictions typically do not uphold an 'agreement to agree'. However, to the extent the clause simply constitutes an obligation to negotiate, it is likely to be valid, but must be supported by a dispute resolution procedure that can impose a binding solution on the parties.
Stabilisation mechanisms can derive from statutory or treaty provisions, or from contractual arrangements between host states (or state-owned resource companies) and mining companies. However, to be effective, even contractual stabilisation clauses should be supported by an appropriate governing law clause to ensure that local laws cannot be called upon to challenge the validity of the stabilisation clause itself and that the state agrees to refer any dispute over the adaptation of a mining contract to arbitration or to another independent dispute resolution mechanism. These clauses benefit from a presumption of validity in front of arbitral tribunals, but arbitrators still tend to interpret them narrowly given their potential to encroach on the states' right to legislate.
Environmental and social risks
Environmental and social risks also constitute major issues facing mining projects today, regardless of where these projects are located. Environmental and social risks are often considered together as forming part of the broader concept of a 'social licence to operate'. This refers to the need for the owners and operators of natural resources projects to seek acceptance from local communities when developing and operating a mine. This licence does not refer to a specific permit or a governmental authorisation, but rather to a general level of community support and acceptance that can only be obtained through genuine communication with and regard for local communities. Failure to obtain this acceptance may lead to significant conflicts with local communities and stakeholders, which may ultimately threaten the viability of a mining project. In their 2019 mining survey, Ernst & Young identified the issue of obtaining a social licence to operate as the most significant risk facing the mining industry today.[5]
The two leading international instruments and standards on the issue of the social licence to operate, ILO 169 and UNDRIP recognise a state's duty to conduct consultations and obtain free, prior and informed consent from indigenous peoples when their rights may be affected. While these rules applicable to indigenous peoples do not apply ipso facto to all local communities surrounding mining projects, they have in turn encouraged the articulation of international guidance and standards recommending that companies take proactive steps to obtain consent from local communities.[6]
The difficulty of securing a long-term social licence to operate – and the potential for resulting conflicts – is particularly acute in emerging economies, where there can be a stark contrast between the wealth created by a mining project and the standard of living in the surrounding communities. This may lead to an expectation that mining companies should take part in community development and infrastructure projects. In some remote and underdeveloped communities, mining companies sometimes end up providing basic services usually provided by the state such as access to water and electricity, education, healthcare, and sometimes even policing and security.
While it is certainly important for mining companies to contribute to the development of surrounding communities, there are some risks for them in performing roles generally associated with states. As businesses, mining companies are not well equipped to perform quasi-regalian functions. Moreover, local communities may come to assess the impact of mining companies based on how well they provide these services (instead of on the basis of their operational and environmental performance, and their contribution to the overall economy and public finances of the host country). This creates a unique opportunity for dissatisfaction and conflicts, which may escalate rapidly and threaten the viability or profitability of the relevant mining projects.
As local communities are not party to arbitration agreements with mining companies, disputes involving social issues often arise in investor–state arbitrations when the consequences of local unrest are considered. Social unrest can put pressure on governments to intervene, through the exercise of their regulatory or enforcement powers, to address the underlying issues. Respondent states invoke social arguments when raising defences or counterclaims, notably by asserting that the investors' actions were the cause of, or at the very least, contributed to the unrest and conflict. While to date these arguments have had limited success in causing a full dismissal of investors' claims, they have sometimes led tribunals to reduce the amount of compensation awarded to mining investors.[7]
In a similar vein, the concept of a 'licence to operate' is intrinsically linked to environmental risks, which are particularly salient in the mining industry. Mining projects will generally have a substantial footprint and impact on the environment. Failure to adequately address the environmental and sustainability concerns associated with mining can lead to very serious consequences, which is why most developed mining jurisdictions have adopted comprehensive environmental regulations. This falls squarely within a state's prerogative to enact and enforce appropriate regulations to ensure the long-term protection of the environment and their population. In some cases, the enactment or enforcement of these regulations may give rise to treaty claims against host states, as was the case in a series of recent mining arbitration cases.[8]
States are also increasingly willing to assert counterclaims for environmental damage in the context of investment claims started by oil and gas or mining investors.[9] These counterclaims have been of limited success so far because of jurisdictional and admissibility limitations, as they are most often not expressly contemplated by treaties and the practice of arbitral tribunals in this regard has been rather restrictive. However, the more recent generation of investment treaties often provides for significant environmental and social protections. Arbitral tribunals have also recently showed an increased willingness to consider environmental and social issues when deciding investment treaty or commercial claims.
Difficulty of valuing non-producing mineral properties
A key feature of early-stage mining projects is the difficulty of ascribing a value to them before they enter production. Unlike oil and gas exploration, where sophisticated imaging techniques and well-testing can provide extensive information about an entire hydrocarbons reservoir, it is extremely difficult to predict the geological and physical properties of a mineral deposit without conducting an extensive (and costly) drilling, testing and engineering campaign. As a result, it is very difficult to ascribe a precise value to an early-stage mining project. This difficulty is in large part a function of the considerable geological risk – or exploration risk – present in mining projects. While this geological risk does not necessarily translate into specific arbitration disputes, it has a considerable impact on the determination of damages in arbitrations concerning early-stage mining projects.
The valuation of pre-operational stage mining projects often proves difficult and contentious. While operational-stage projects can be valued based on the income they produce (using a discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology), this may not be feasible when a project is years away from production. This is not to say, however, that it is not possible to ascribe a value to early-stage projects in the context of commercial or investment arbitration disputes. Arbitral tribunals are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their understanding of how the life cycle of a mining project may impact the choice of methods used to value these projects, and how these methods are applied. These tribunals are guided by the emergence of transnational rules and technical standards on the valuation of mineral properties led by industry bodies – CIM in Canada and JORC in Australia, for example.
Traditionally, for early-stage exploration projects presenting acute risk profiles, tribunals have tended to rely on cost-based approaches to valuation, which simply aim to compensate mining investors for the costs sunk into the project. For more advanced non-producing projects, tribunals would often follow market-based approaches. Tribunals have been increasingly willing to adopt the income-based approach (using the DCF methodology) to grant compensation reflecting the future profit-making potential of a project once it has reached a more mature phase and risks are more suitably managed (usually once a feasibility study has been completed).[10] At this stage, the DCF method is considered to be the most suitable as it takes into account expected returns while applying an appropriate discount rate to cater for risks and uncertainty.
Risks existing under long-term offtake or royalty agreements
The risks associated with mining are not concentrated only in the upstream (exploration and production) sector. The refining and sale of metals and minerals (what is generally referred to as downstream) also involve considerable risks. Price risk will often be considered by parties to long-term offtake or royalty agreements, as it has a direct impact on their respective ability to perform their obligations over extended periods of time.
Particularly vivid examples of 'downstream' disputes arise in the context of long-term, complex agreements and involve arbitrations relating to long-term 'offtake' agreements or to other royalty or profit-sharing arrangements between a mining company and third parties having an economic interest in the production of one or more mining projects.[11] Shifts in market conditions and a sharply volatile pricing environment over the past few years have put pressure on producers and purchasers, sometimes leading them to renege on their obligations. This has led to an increase in disputes in relation to various aspects of these contracts including pricing, supply and volume, hardship, royalties and profit-sharing, quality, and transport.
Pricing disputes tend to arise when a specific benchmark or index ceases to exist, creating scope for disagreement on the new pricing method to adopt or when a price adaptation or review clause is triggered. This brings into sharp focus the benefit of including prescriptive criteria in pricing clauses when negotiating long-term agreements to assist arbitrators in resolving disputes. Significant changes in economic conditions, leading to sharp variations in the price of certain metals or minerals, may also create situations where a party is no longer able to perform its obligations economically. This will often lead to price reviews and arbitration procedures, sometimes accompanied by claims of hardship or force majeure. Similarly, disagreements may surface around the application of a calculation formula under royalty and profit-sharing arrangements or when the contractual formula no longer reflects the prevailing market conditions. These circumstances all create a fertile ground for arbitration. Great care should therefore be taken when drafting these agreements to ensure pricing clauses in particular are robustly and precisely constructed.
Volume and quality disputes are also on the rise since, in a climate of pricing instability, volume commitments may be hard to comply with and the market value of certain metal or mineral products may shift dramatically. Arbitration is, again, the dispute resolution mechanism of choice to address the wide range of issues that emerge, which tends to require specialised knowledge on the part of counsel and arbitrators involved.
Select substantive principles applicable to mining arbitrations
The rapid growth of mining arbitration worldwide has been accompanied by the emergence and ongoing development of substantive principles applicable to mining disputes. These principles emanate from a wide range of sources, from domestic case law and international instruments to arbitral awards and industry standards.
Resource-rich jurisdictions such as Australia and Canada have emerged as global mining hubs, and their courts have played an outsize role in shaping some of the key principles applicable to mining disputes, which have in turn informed the views of international arbitration tribunals when faced with similar fact patterns and issues. This is owing to the mature and active mining industries that have grown in these jurisdictions, and the development of sophisticated capital markets allowing mining ventures to obtain financing. Australia and Canada concentrate a critical mass of sophisticated investors and professionals with a deep well of mining experience, which explains why most junior mining companies today are incorporated and listed in either Canada or Australia. Most of these Australian or Canadian mining companies will invest in projects abroad, thus contributing to the diffusion of Australian and Canadian industry and legal standards worldwide. Reflecting on developments and procedures in these countries can give practitioners a useful insight into key matters of concern in international mining arbitrations.
For instance, many trends in mining arbitration in Australia, such as the increasing reliance on expert determination for technical issues and the express choice of arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism in certain statutes, have been echoed on a global scale. Similarly, the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results developed by the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) has proved to be an influential professional code of practice setting minimum standards for public reporting of minerals, exploration results, mineral resources and reserves.[12]
The Guidelines developed by the Canada Institute of Mining Special Committee on Valuation of Mineral Properties (CIMVAL) serve a similar purpose. Provisions in mining agreements may often refer to standards or concepts enshrined in the JORC Code and CIMVAL Guidelines. These concepts (e.g., those of mineral 'resources' and 'reserves') are very often used when quantifying damages in commercial or investment arbitration.
In this context, economic experts have a crucial role to play in assisting arbitrators to navigate this complex territory.[13] They play a critical role in the valuation of projects, the calculation of damages, and the identification of the precise economic impact of various measures and actions. This ongoing assistance will help contribute to the long-term construction of substantive financial principles and tools, and a transnational body of substantive rules applicable to international mining disputes.
International bodies such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Bank and the United Nations have also contributed to the development of transnational principles applicable to the mining sector, which are directly relevant to the arbitration of mining disputes. Even if these principles are not necessarily reflected in domestic legislation, they play a key role in the mining industry and serve as a benchmark for international industry practice. Compliance with the OECD and World Bank principles is often a prerequisite to obtaining financing for mining projects in emerging jurisdictions. Other non-governmental bodies such as the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment have sought to establish and promote a corpus of knowledge on the issues that arise in relation to extractive industries.
Another example of the emergence of transnational principles applicable to the mining industry concerns the interplay between business and human rights.[14] Human rights are intrinsically relevant to mining, given the outsize economic and socio-environmental impact of the mining sector today. Awareness of these issues is growing, influenced in large part by the development of non-binding international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The influence of these standards has resulted in the enactment of local laws and regulations that impose mandatory due diligence, reporting and transparency requirements on businesses (including in the mining sector).
For the time being, arbitration is not considered a particularly viable forum for the settlement of human rights disputes, as victims of human rights abuses are generally not party to arbitration agreements with the perpetrator of alleged human rights violations. However, human rights arguments may become more prevalent in the future as international standards become increasingly sophisticated and states begin to reference human rights in their investment treaties, creating binding legal obligations, and a set of specialised arbitral rules are developed to deal with human rights disputes.
Regional perspectives on mining arbitration
While mining projects worldwide are all exposed – to varying degrees – to the key risks outlined above, these risks tend to materialise differently depending on where the projects are located.
Over the past few years, several African countries have taken steps to significantly increase taxes and royalties so as to increase their control over mining projects and the financial benefits that can be derived from them.[15] Mining reforms on the African continent have also involved broader changes in the regulatory, environmental and trade regimes applicable to mining projects. These regulatory changes have caused some international mining companies to commence arbitration proceedings against these states, on the basis of mining conventions or investment treaties.
A similar picture is emerging in Asia-Pacific where some governments are moving to assert greater control over the natural resources in their territory.[16] In addition to tax or royalty increases, some mining countries in Asia-Pacific have introduced regulations or made policy decisions to strengthen environmental protection. This is, for instance, the case in the Philippines and Indonesia. These challenges may lead to an increase in the number of arbitration cases involving mining projects located in the region.
Recent developments in Latin America primarily relate to the growing importance of environmental and social issues in mining arbitration. The authors of Chapter 13 offer their perspective on recent investment treaty arbitration decisions concerning social issues involving mining projects in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.[17]
A different picture transpires in Central Asia, which has emerged over the past decades as one of the most active mining regions in the world. Several countries have recently reformed their mineral tenure and mining laws, to simplify the applicable procedures and align their mining regimes with international standards.[18] Some of these new mining laws offer substantive protections similar to those typically available in modern international agreements and access to international arbitration to resolve disputes between mining permit holders and host governments.
Future developments in mining arbitration
Over the past decade, commercial and investment treaty arbitration tribunals have addressed many of the issues and risks analysed in the following sections. The increasing recognition of the breadth, complexity and specificity of the mining industry form a common thread in arbitral decisions concerning mining projects and transactions. Two main conclusions emerge.
First, parties and arbitral tribunals refer increasingly consistently to a growing body of substantive principles specific to mining, which have emerged from previous arbitral decisions, arbitration practice, international law and industry standards. The development of this lex mineralia is still at an early stage, but it is expected to grow considerably over the next decade, as the number of mining arbitration cases continues to grow and the current push towards increased transparency makes them more readily accessible.[19]
Second, and relatedly, a small but growing number of arbitration practitioners – counsel, arbitrators, and quantum and industry experts – have become particularly adept at understanding and navigating the specific challenges facing the mining industry. The increasingly complex nature of the mining industry and, by extension, of mining disputes has exacerbated this trend. This has been described as the emergence of a specialised 'mining arbitration bar', akin to the somewhat larger communities of arbitration practitioners specialising in construction or energy disputes.

Q: Finding matches using regular expression How to find the length of consecutive zeros that is surrounded by ones at both ends of a binary?
For example, in 10010001 the 2 matches are 1001 and 10001

*

*1001  the length of zeroes is 2

*10001 the length of zeroes is 3

I used match which returned only the last one i.e. 10001.
'1010001'.match(/1(0+)1$/g)

A: You need lookahead assertions here:

console.log('1010001'.match(/10+(?=1)/g).map(function(x) {
   return x.length - 1;
}));

A: First, replace all '1' by '11', then remove $ - from your regular expression.

console.log('10010001'.replace(/1/g, '11').match(/1(0+)1/g));

A: In regular expressions, $ is a special character matching the end of the string (MDN).
But that's only half the problem. String#match captured the trailing 1 in the first group and could not create a second overlapping group for '10001'. Try using RegExp#exec instead. The regular expression is stateful, and in this case, you'll want to move the last index back one for each match you find.
var re = /10+1/g;
var str = '10010001';
var matches = [];
var result;
while ((result = re.exec(str)) !== null) {
  matches.push(result[0]);
  re.lastIndex--;
}
console.log(matches);

A: Instead of using Regex, I would keep it simple.

*

*Split the string on '1's

*Get the length of each section

*Remove the first and last section length because they aren't surrounded by '1's

*Find the highest section length

const maxNumberOfZeros = Math.max(...'000000101000100000'.split('1').map(str => str.length).slice(1, -1));
console.log(maxNumberOfZeros);

A: function solution(N) {
    let s = (N >>> 0).toString(2).split('');

    let max = 0;
    //1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0
    if(s.length > 2){

        let lastDigit = s[s.length - 1];
        let firstDigit = s[0];

        while(lastDigit == '0'){
            s.pop();
            if(!s.length || s.length == 1) return 0;
            lastDigit = s[s.length - 1];
        }

        while(firstDigit == '0'){
            s.shift();
            if(!s.length || s.length == 1) return 0;
            firstDigit = s[0];
        }

        let x = s.join('').split('1').filter(i => i !== '').sort().reverse();

        return x.length ? x[0].length : 0;

    }

    return 0;
}

A: The $ within RegExp matches end of string.
You can use Array.prototype.reduce() and logic to evaluate 1 and 0 as a Boolean to determine if the sequence matches the required pattern

let nums = ["1000000001010001", "0000000101", "100000000"];
let countZerosBetweenOnes = str =>
  (res => ([...str].reduce((a, b, idx, arr) =>
    (!!+a && !+b && arr.find((n, i) => i > idx && !!+n) && res.push(+a)
    , !+a && !+b && res.length && ++res[res.length - 1], b))
    , res.sort((a, b) => a - b).pop() || 0))([]);

nums.forEach(n => console.log(countZerosBetweenOnes(n)));

I had just created my profile, and he was about to delete his account. Incidentally, I accepted his request and we started chatting. From the get go, there was so much chemistry, even before we met. When we did end up meeting, it was great (Apart from an awkward side hug). It felt so comfortable that he ended up finishing my bowl of ramen at the restaurant. We both knew we had found the right person in the back of our minds right away. We deleted our profiles after meeting the third time. Less than three months later, he proposed and I said yes. Call it luck, call it chance, or call it destiny, we are perfect for each other.

Kochav Nolad (, "Ein Star wird geboren") war eine Reality-TV-Show, die neue musikalische Talente in Israel suchte. Das Programm startete auf dem israelischen Kanal 2 im Jahr 2003. Der Wettbewerb gewann eine große Popularität in Israel und wurde vom Publikum zum Programm des Jahrzehnts gekürt. Es war das israelische Äquivalent der britischen Casting-Show Pop Idol, gehörte aber nicht zu dessen Franchise.

Gewinner
 Staffel 1 (2003): Ninet Tayeb
 Staffel 2 (2004): Harel Moyal
 Staffel 3 (2005): Yehuda Saado
 Staffel 4 (2006): Jacko Eisenberg
 Staffel 5 (2007): Boaz Mauda
 Staffel 6 (2008): Israel Bar-On
 Staffel 7 (2009): Roni Dalumi
 Staffel 8 (2010): Diana Golbi
 Staffel 9 (2011): Hagit Yaso
 Staffel 10 (2012): Or Taragan

Weitere Kandidaten waren unter anderem Schiri Maimon, Shai Gabso, Harel Skaat, Mei Feingold, Amir, Daniel Donskoy und Eden Ben Zaken.

Einstellung der Show

Am 20. Mai 2013 wurde bekannt gegeben, dass Richter Moshe Peretz die Show verlässt, um die erste Staffel von The X Factor Israel auf einer konkurrierenden Station, Reshet, zu moderieren. Die anderen Richter aus Staffel 10, Miri Mesika und Gidi Gov, bestätigten ebenfalls, dass sie gehen würden und nicht zur Show zurückkehren würden. Kokhav Nolad wurde später offiziell durch HaKokhav HaBa (, übersetzt "Der nächste Star") ersetzt.

Biking in your own urban backyard can actually be pretty great. (benedek/iStock)
Culture Opinion
Bike Snob
Why I Love Cycling in the City—Despite the Danger
Urban riding is the greatest adventure. We just need to make it even more accessible.
Eben Weiss
This past August we packed our bags, left the cat in charge of our New York City apartment, and headed upstate for our annual end-of-summer vacation. Naturally, I brought a bike with me, and early each morning I'd set out for a solitary ride before undertaking a rigorous regimen of swimming and barbecuing with the family. Surrounded by protected state land in all directions, I had my choice of rolling roads, steady climbs, or gravel detours, all with little-to-no motor vehicle traffic.
So would you believe me if I told you I spent the whole time pining for the gently undulating Central Park loop and roiling scrum of midtown Manhattan? Well, you shouldn't, because I'd be lying. I relished my respite from the hectic streets, and there's nothing more decadent to a city-dweller than clomping out your front door, clipping in, and pedaling right into a majestic landscape without having to hack your way through miles of urban and suburban sprawl first.
I did find myself eventually missing city cycling, and I'm happy to be back in town. The irony of the Great Outdoors is that the sheer scale can be pretty overwhelming when it comes to everyday sub-epic cycling, and if you're not planning to load up your bike with camping gear and disappear for days on end, your route choices can still be somewhat limited. In the city, however, every single intersection presents you with multiple options. Moreover, these options increase exponentially the further you get from home, which means that if you've only got an hour or two to ride, the possibilities are effectively infinite.
Every city is different, but each has its own beauty, and when you're on your bike you'll reconnect with that beauty and remember just why it is you live there. At its best, to ride a bicycle in a city is to immerse yourself in a vibrant and diverse human habitat—it's like being a SCUBA diver in a coral reef (albeit one where the apex predators are cars and not sharks, but still). Where I live I can ride to quiet roads and even mountain bike trails from my home, and yet there are still days when I'll point my bike straight into the heart of the city instead, just for the hell of it. For every frustrating encounter with a motorist there are a thousand life-affirming moments. Here you'll see places where history was made, and you'll see history in the making. You'll share the roads, parks, and bike lanes with every conceivable type of cyclist, from the Strava-addled roadie to the Puerto Rican Schwinn Club to whatever the hell this is. Crossing the East River at twilight will elevate your soul every bit as much as gliding along a mountain road flanked by a babbling brook. And if the sight of a rideout doesn't give you a secret thrill then you may be dead inside.
Every city is different, but each has its own beauty, and when you're on your bike you'll reconnect with that beauty and remember just why it is you live there.
But there is a dark side to all this possibility. While deciding to go right, left, or straight in a city may unlock three wildly disparate and yet equally transcendent scenarios, all it takes is a driver opening their door into your path for you to transcend the physical plane altogether in an instant. In the last decade most self-respecting American cities have installed cycling infrastructure and encouraged people to ride bikes. This 21st century shift in thinking corresponded with an urban cycling boom as a new generation adopted the bicycle as a means of transport and self-expression. Nationwide, bike trips doubled between 2001 and 2009. Urbanists declared victory as car ownership began to decline, and millennials eschewed the suburbs for the city. The future, it seemed, was all walkable downtowns and bike lanes from sea to shining sea.
The news today is more sobering. In many ways our cities have been transformed, and innovations such as bike share and e-scooters continue to revolutionize urban transport. But instead of reveling in the successes we're mourning the cost; as ridership increases in our cities, so does the death toll. And the abject senselessness of these deaths coupled with our lack of audacity when it comes to curtailing driving could conspire to undermine cycling's forward momentum, for the simple reason that anybody contemplating the purchase of a bicycle might read about the latest tragedy in their town and understandably come to the conclusion that it's just not worth it.
I love few things more than riding in the city—for transport and for pleasure, though sometimes it's hard to separate the two—and I want more and more people all over the country to keep making the same discovery. I also believe that, while every cycling death is an occasion to both mourn and to demand change, they should not be enough to dissuade anybody from getting on a bike. But there is no more personal relationship than the one between ourselves and our own mortality. Telling someone they should just get over it and ride anyway is the very pinnacle of presumptuousness. It is, however, perfectly reasonable to be angry at our leaders for dealing in half-measures, and for caving to the NIMBYs, and for not doing more to create environments in which cycling is simply a no-brainer for anyone even remotely inclined to throw a leg over a bike.
In the city you can be any kind of cyclist you want. I've ridden in mine as a bike messenger, bike racer, commuter, father schlepping his kids, and middle-aged schlub in no particular hurry. Bike lanes and other improvements have facilitated this transition, but more than that, it's a love of both cycling and the city that have kept me riding despite the specter of death. I'd keep riding even if all the bike lanes disappeared tomorrow. But cycling in this or any city should not be the exclusive domain of the death-defying. Remove that specter and this will be a country transformed.

I spoke with Inhofe by phone right after the hearing about who's perpetrating the climate hoax, who's being hoodwinked by it, and why he doesn't believe clean energy creates jobs.
Q. Sen. Inhofe, hi, how are you?
A. I'm cold, of course, but I'm good.
Q. You got your snow boots on?
Q. You reasserted in today's hearing your belief that global warming is a hoax. Can you clarify specifically who is perpetrating the hoax? Who are the dupers and who are the victims of the climate hoax?
A. Who are the victims? It would be the United States. It would be the economy, what would happen to this country according to MIT* and others who have made analyses as to the economic destruction that would come with something like cap-and-trade or [regulating greenhouse-gas emissions] through the Clean Air Act.
Q. Who are the perpetrators of the hoax?
A. That's the United Nations and the IPCC, clearly.
Q. Major energy companies have said they believe the scientific consensus on climate change. ExxonMobil said the appropriate debate isn't on whether the climate is changing, but what we should do about it. NASA, NOAA, the Pentagon, the Pope, evangelical leaders, top executives in all industries, and governments all over the world including China and India–they've all acknowledged climate change. Do you believe that all of these entities have been scammed by the U.N. and a handful of scientists in the IPCC?
A. What you've just said is not true. There's not unanimity at all even though you want to believe it.
NOAA and NASA and all these organizations, these people are all tied in to the IPCC. There are a lot of companies, oil companies and all that, who would like to have cap-and-trade. That's where they can make money.
Q. What do you believe is the motive of the U.N.? What is the motive of the scientists who are perpetrating the hoax? How do you think they stand to benefit?
A. They stand to benefit [from] government grants and private sector grants [from places] like the Heinz Foundation.
We have scientists who are really sincere, and they've watched what's going on and they have a hard time believing it. Those are the ones who started going to me probably seven or eight years ago, saying they're cooking the science on this, someone's got to say it, and I said it. And then more of them came. I listed them on my website. I've been very clear all along who the perpetrators were, what the motives were.
Q. So you believe that the U.N. and the scientists on the IPCC are perpetrating the hoax in order to get grant money?
A. No, no, no. We've already covered this, Amanda. You guys always ask the same question over and over again looking for a different answer. What is it you want that I didn't already tell you?
Q. I'm trying to clarify the motivation behind the hoax. Why would these scientists want to deceive the global public?
A. It's very clear that when you have the U.N. behind it, and you have all the Hollywood people moving in, you have the Heinz Foundation, that's John Kerry's wife — a lot of very wealthy people.
Many of [the scientists] know that if they were recipients of grants in the past, that could well be cut off. Or if they haven't had them, they would want them. The complaints I had brought to me were from scientists who said that many scientists had been intimidated into saying things that weren't true because of that leverage that has been used.
Q. So you believe the scientists and the U.N. are in it for the money?
A. Well, that enters into it, yes.
Q. The Pentagon has identified climate change as one of the biggest threats to our national security. Why shouldn't we trust the American military to judge security threats?
A. The Pentagon does not say that. Barbara Boxer wants to believe that the Pentagon says that. And also you mentioned evangelicals. Not true at all. Some of the very liberal churches have taken a position. Most of them have either not taken a position or have said this thing is not real and we should not be allowing government to do this.
The overriding factor is that even if we did all of this unilaterally, it's not going to reduce CO2.
Q. The Pentagon just produced the Quadrennial Defense Review, which said climate change will accelerate conflict around the globe.
A. Keep in mind that the Quadrennial Review and all that comes out of the White House. That's part of the administration. In the Pentagon, they're good soldiers–they'll do pretty much what will ingratiate the commander in chief. That's what they're supposed to do.
Q. More than 280 evangelical leaders, including Rick Warren, signed the Evangelical Climate Initiative supporting action on this issue. Are these leaders also duped? Are they part of the hoax?
A. If you can't find 300 evangelical or religious leaders, or people who identify themselves as religious leaders, that can pursue almost anything, then you're not really doing your job. It's kind of funny because I don't recall any of the people that I run into who are evangelical leaders who really buy in to this thing. But that's fine, there are some who do, I'm sure.
Q. Do you believe that investing in clean energy is going to create jobs in the U.S.?
Q. Oklahoma has huge wind resources. My understanding is that wind and natural gas are among the biggest and fastest-growing sectors of your state's economy.
Q. So the wind industry is not creating jobs in your state?
A. Yeah, it is. A few jobs. We always look at net jobs, and we have had hearings on this and shown very clearly that the number of jobs that are lost exceed any new jobs that come in, and that's the reason for my answer to your question.
Q. I've heard that the Chesapeake Energy Corporation, a big job provider in Oklahoma, favors cap-and-trade, saying it would actually benefit the natural gas industry. To me that says it would create jobs in your state. Why oppose policies that would create jobs in Oklahoma?
A. There are a lot of people in the natural gas business who feel that perhaps they can benefit [from cap-and-trade] in the short term, but they also recognize in the long term that it would be destructive. If you don't believe that, talk to the CEO of [Oklahoma City-based] Devon Energy, Larry Nichols.
Q. How do you respond to major industry leaders who say climate legislation is going to create jobs, not kill them, net total?
A. I don't agree with that. Always look at the motives people have. There are a lot of companies that would do very well [if greenhouse-gas regulations were enacted]. General Electric. I better not start naming them. But we had a hearing on USCAP, [a coalition of] corporations that were embracing some variation of cap-and-trade. We checked and found out that all 15 or so of them had stood to make huge amounts of money if they could get cap-and-trade. So that's my comment about that.
Q. So you believe these companies and their leaders are going along with a massive fraud that will destroy the economy in order to make money themselves?
A. It would be very damaging to the economy. I think that most of the people who don't have a dog in this fight, people who are just looking at it, economists looking to see how destructive it would be, come to the conclusion that it would be destructive.
Q. Are there clean tech innovations that you're interested in?
A. I'm interested in wind energy, I'm interested in geothermal. It's all of the above. I think you can't just say you're for one thing or another.
In order for us to be independent, [we need to] develop our own resources. We have the largest recoverable reserves of oil, gas, and coal of any country in the world.** And yet the problem is, politically, we're not able to drill in the different places and develop our own resources. No other countries are in that situation.
Q. On a personal level, why are you so passionate about climate change? I know you've been committed to this issue for a long time.
A. I was first made chairman of the Environment and Public Works Clean Air Subcommittee back in '97. That's when I believed that anthropogenic gases were causing global warming because everyone said it was. Until the Wharton [Econometric Forecasting Associates] came along and said what it would cost us if we were to go through with this. And of course it was just huge amounts, so we thought we'd check the science. When we started checking the science, many of the scientists came to me — once they had a place to come — and showed how they'd been shut out of the process of the IPCC. And I thought, somebody's got to take this thing on, and so that's why I did it.
Q. How do you think that history will view your efforts on climate change?
A. It depends on who's writing the history.
Q. Assuming someone you like is writing the history.
A. I think they'll say that they're glad there's one person who was willing to tell the truth.
* Professor John Reilly of MIT last year said Republicans had been misrepresenting his research on the potential costs of climate legislation.
** In fact, the U.S. ranks 12th in proven reserves of oil and 5th in proven reserves of natural gas, according to the CIA. It does have the world's largest reserves of coal.

Stars look to salvage road trip vs. Sharks
The Dallas Stars began this week flirting with the franchise's longest winning streak, but look to end it by avoiding a winless three-game road trip.
Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks are also trying to momentarily halt a rough patch of their own.
The Stars aim to avoid a third consecutive loss when they visit the Sharks on Saturday night.
With Monday's 4-1 home victory over Arizona, Dallas put itself one away from a club-record eight-game winning streak. However, the Stars blew a two-goal, third-period lead during a 5-4 loss at Vegas on Wednesday, then managed just 27 shots in their 4-0 loss at Los Angeles on Thursday night.
While Dallas has won eight straight at home, it's 4-7-1 on the road, where it has allowed 43 non-shootout goals and won only once over the last five tries.
"It's a tough road trip," said forward Jason Robertson, whose seven-game point streak ended Thursday.
"We've got to find something … You've got to be dialed down to start the game. Set the tempo."
Dallas' Jake Oettinger (1.52 goals-against average) made 37 saves against the Kings but suffered his first loss of the season. Teammate Braden Holtby (2.42 GAA) could be in goal for this contest after a 40-save effort against Vegas ended his personal three-game winning streak as a starter.
Dallas has dropped the last two meetings against the Sharks, both at San Jose. However, the teams last met in January 2020.
Joe Pavelski leads the Stars with 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists), but was shut out when Dallas lost 2-1 on Jan. 11, 2020, at San Jose. It was Pavelski's first and only trip back to San Jose since his 13-season run with the Sharks ended after the 2018-19 campaign.
These current Sharks lost for the third time in four games, 5-2 versus Minnesota on Thursday. The reported subject of trade rumors, Tomas Hertl scored his team-leading 13th goal of the season and Jonathan Dahlen notched his eighth early in the third period, but San Jose was already down 3-0 by that point.
"I don't think we had our legs (Thursday night)," Hertl, who has scored five times during a three-game goal streak, told reporters. "If you don't have your legs you have to find a way, play simple hockey and don't turn over pucks."
San Jose has totaled 11 goals over the last three games, but allowed 14 during the same span. Adin Hill has yielded 11 of those goals while starting each one of those contests. Teammate James Reimer has stopped 61 of the 63 shots he's faced in his last two games, recording one shutout, but an illness has kept him from making a start in December.
Reimer is 6-1-1 with a 2.42 goals-against average during 10 career games against Dallas. Hertl, meanwhile, has just two assists over his last eight games against the Stars. Fellow Shark Logan Couture (eight goals, 16 assists) has two goals with three assists during his four-game point streak versus Dallas.

Making a scene: High schoolers travel to statewide annual theatre convention

Every year, the Utah Theatre Association holds a three-day convention for high school students around the state. It's a chance for theater and drama kids to come together and learn skills to use in their schools and theater productions. This winter, fifteen Grand County High School students traveled to Southern Utah University in Cedar City to attend the convention, participate in workshops and watch live theater performances.
The conference is held in a different location each year: Two years ago it was held at the University of Utah, and last year it was all virtual due to COVID-19. This year's location is famous for its celebrated Utah Shakespeare Festival.
"Being able to attend in an environment where theater is a big part of the community helps students evolve their love for drama," said Elias Patterson, a Grand County High School junior who attended the conference. "Learning from Broadway actors and accomplished performers provides valuable insight into the inner workings of theater."
The UTA website, utahtheatrerassociation.org, says the conference gives students and teachers "the opportunity to expand their knowledge of theatre, connect with theatre peers and professionals, and celebrate in the creation of educational theatre."
Fifty-seven guest artists traveled from all over the country to teach workshops with different focuses including dancing, singing, acting, and producing. Hundreds of workshops were offered over the course of three days, and attendees could choose to participate in as many as eight. In the evenings, there were three plays including "Into the Woods," performed by SUU; "Guys and Dolls," performed by Canyon View High School; and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time," performed by Cedar High School.
Among the more recognizable guest artists at the conference were Dallyn Vail Bayles and Jack Sippel. Bayles toured with the Broadway company of "Phantom of the Opera," understudying the Phantom and Raoul. He also played Enjorlas on the Broadway tour of "Les Miserables" starring along with Colm Wilkinson. Sippel was the dance captain for the Netflix movie "The Prom," a Newsie on Broadway and in the Disney+ pro shot, and performed at the Met Gala in 2021. Sippel led eight workshops teaching dance numbers from both The Newsies Broadway musical and The Prom musical.
"Jack Sippel was able to create a fun learning environment that got everyone moving with joy and passion while learning the dance combo," said Katie Wakefield, who went to three of his workshops. "Learning from someone who is a Broadway professional made it more of a unique, fun experience."
All of the students worked hard doing fundraisers at basketball concessions to be able to go, most of them raising the full $200 each. Head Drama Coach Maralee Francis chaperoned the students along with Gery and Gail Wakefield, parents of freshman Katie Wakefield, and Stacey Garrett, the costume designer for the fall musical. Of three seniors on the team (President Kaistin Oliver, Secretary Aly Bertoch, and Arthur Hawks), only Bertoch was able to attend the theater conference.
The convention is just the beginning of the competitive drama season. Throughout the spring, students will prepare a one-act play, as well as one or more individual events, such as scenes, monologues, or pantomimes, to compete with other high school students in the state. The regional drama competition is on Mar. 25-26 at Carbon High School, and the state competition is April 7-9 at Salem Hills High School. The top three plays from the region and the top six individual events will compete at state. Last year, Grand County High School took third at state for their one-act play, "Where There's a Will, There's a Murder." It was originally scheduled to be the one-act for the 2020 competitive season, but got canceled due to the start of the pandemic.
While preparing their competitive pieces, the competitive drama team will also hold their annual Broadway Jr. fundraiser the week of March 7-11. It's a week-long camp taught by the students of the team for kids in grades k-8. Over the course of the week, the kids will learn a musical number and perform for the community on the last day. T-shirts and snacks will be provided. For more information on the camp, contact Francis at 435-260-9740.
