Панчаревският пролом (наричан още Урвички пролом и Урвичко дефиле) е дълбок и тесен пролом в горното течение на река Искър, на територията на Столична община. Отделя планините Плана и Витоша на югозапад и запад от Лозенската планина (част от Ихтиманска Средна гора) на североизток.

Описание
Обхваща поречието на река Искър от стената на яз. Искър в северния край на Самоковската котловина, където надморската височина е около 786 m и завършва западно от село Герман в южния край на Софийската котловина на около 587 m н.в. Има дължина около 22 km и средна надморска височина около 700 m. Дълбочината му варира от 200-250 до 350 m. В началото и края на пролома в долинни разширения на реката са разположени селата Долни Пасарел, Кокаляне и Панчарево. В най-тясната част на пролома реката прави красив меандър, обявен за природна забележителност, където на десния ѝ бряг е разположена средновековната крепост Урвич, а на левия Кокалянският манастир. В пролома се намират Панчаревското езеро и язовир Пасарел, които са част от второто ниво на каскада Искър. Районът предлага чудесни условия за рекреация и развитие на алтернативен туризъм: балнеоложки, екологичен, културно-познавателен, спортен и развлекателен.

По-голямата част от пролома (участък от поречието на р. Искър с дължина 19 km.) попада в Националната екологична мрежа "Натура 2000" и е включена в Защитена зона "Плана" по директива за опазване на природните местообитания и на дивата флора и фауна.

По цялото протежение на пролома от юг на север преминава участък 23,2 km от второкласния Републикански път II-82 Костенец – Самоков – София (от km 59,9 до km 83,1).

Rourke uses his personal baggage to aid his performance.
I'll admit it. The only reason I watched this movie is because it looks like Mickey Rourke will be nominated for an Oscar for this part and each year I try to see as many of the nominated movies as possible. It turned out to be pretty much what I expected. Some good acting in a downer of a movie that I will never care to watch again.
Rourke plays Randy "The Ram" an aging wrestler whose glory days in the ring are far behind him. He's old, broken down and living alone in a trailer park (when he can afford to pay his rent and in the back of his van when he can't). He survives by participating in a few low level wrestling matches, making a few personal appearances and working a few nights at his local grocery store as a stocker and eventually behind the deli counter.
His only social contact outside of wrestling is with a stripper played by Marisa Tomei. After he has a heart attack, she urges him to reconcile with his daughter Stephanie, played by Evan Rachel Wood. Unfortunately for Randy, the heart attack has also stopped him from doing anymore wrestling. Except of course that near the beginning of the movie Randy is offered the chance to wrestle in a rematch of his most famous match on its 20th anniversary, so you can probably figure out what happens.
Part of what really makes this work is that it parallels Rourke's acting career in some ways. Rourke's glory days are far behind him and this movie is a chance for him to recapture some of the magic. If a nobody had played this part would it even be in the running for an Oscar? The combination of his real life baggage and his still considerable acting skills do combine to create a believable vision of a broken man in the twilight of his life.
Tomei, Wood and Rourke all do turn in good acting jobs, but I can't honestly say I was really entertained by this movie. It's a depressing movie and it feels longer than it actually is. All of the scenes seem grey and cold, which is the final feeling I had towards the movie.
I've said it before and I'll repeat it here that I can enjoy any movie no matter whether it leaves me feeling sad, mad or glad, but not one that leaves me feeling depressed. I'm reminded of last year's Oscar contender, Julie Christie, for her work in Away from Her. She gave a great performance, but the movie was so depressing I really didn't care.

Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.
The Wrestler is not a depressing movie. It is about balancing ones personal life with ones professional life. Randy sacrificed his relationship with his daughter for his job. They were never close as he concentrated more on his career and less on being an attentive father. Cassidy is a stripper whose real name is Pam. She is a single mother, and makes the point to keep her job and her private life separate. However, she has feelings for Randy, who pays her for lap dances, but she tries hard to keep him at a distance. She is better at balancing her professional and personal life than Randy, but she still struggles with it.
The most interesting scene is when he works at the deli. Just before going out to the service counter he puts on his apron and his hairnet, just as he put on his wrestling tights and pads before a match. When he wrestled he put on his game face and entertained the crowd. As a deli clerk, he has to put on his customer service face and deal with customers who are sometimes quite picky. It shows that no matter what our job is, we all have two aspects of our life, personal and professional, that often compete with each other.
Randy is a hero to the neighborhood kids, but even they tire of him. Randy has given so much to his career as a wrestler that it is all he has left. He works out, goes to a tanning salon, a hair dresser and takes steroids to stay in shape, and look the part of his wrestling persona. If he put half the effort into his daughter that he does his career, they would likely have a great relationship.
The ending of The Wrestler is not a depressing one as it features Randy back in the ring doing what he loves most in the world. His speech before the fight explains this. He even calls the audience his family. His happiest moments are when he goes back to the locker room after a fight, and the other wrestlers applaud him. This would have only been a depressing movie had Randy not gotten back in the ring.
Reviewed on: February 13th, 2009
Evan Rachel Wood and Mickey Rourke.
The Wrestler is Rocky with a 21st Century complexion. I have to side with Eric that the ending isn't at all depressing. Tragic yes, depressing no. We are all here for a finite period of time; can you honestly think of a more glorious ending for Randy? When you live life on the edge you are bound to get sliced up a bit before eventually falling off. Randy, at least, got to climb back up for another moment in the sun.
A perfect cast. The scene where Randy quits his job at the deli counter is overdone but that's a very minor complaint. Well done.

Bartel, C.J., C. Sutton, B.R. Goldsmith, R. Ouyang, C.B. Musgrave, L.M. Ghiringhelli, M. Scheffler, "New Tolerance Factor to Predict Perovskite Oxide and Halide Stability," Science Advances, 5 (2), eaav0693 (2019).
Our research program focuses on using quantum mechanics to simulate molecular processes in important engineering problems. Our approach is fundamental and interdisciplinary and combines quantum mechanics, chemical kinetics, and surface, interfacial and materials chemistry. We aim to develop a fundamental molecular and mechanistic understanding of the processes underlying important technologies and to exploit this understanding to computationally prototype and design new engineering solutions. Problems we investigate include the discovery and design of catalysts and materials for the conversion and storage of energy, and the chemistry of materials processing for microelectronics, nanofabrication, data storage and biomaterials.
We use quantum simulations to discover and design molecules for the conversion and storage of energy, including; catalysts for the conversion of methane to methanol and other valuable liquid products, catalysts to produce and convert syngas, catalysts to release hydrogen for chemical storage of hydrogen and molecular dyes for dye sensitized solar cells. The discovery of an economical, low-temperature and selective catalyst for conversion of methane to valuable liquid products would have enormous impact. Vast reserves of remote natural gas are either left untapped or squandered through venting, flaring or reinjection because of cost of transporting gases. However, conversion of methane to select liquid products would greatly reduce transportation costs and produce energy and valuable chemical commodities. We are also investigating catalysts for converting syngas to various products, including ethanol, catalysts for releasing hydrogen from chemical storage species, such as ammonia borane, and photocatalysts to produce fuels. Finally, we also use quantum simulations to investigate molecules and quantum dots as the photoactive materials in photovoltaics.
Atomic Layer Deposition and Molecular Layer Deposition are nanofabrication technologies capable of producing ultrathin, uniform and conformal films with precise thicknesses, structures and compositions. Applications have included thin films for microelectronics and thin film displays, although many new applications are being explored including coatings for biocompatibility, batteries and ultracapacitors, fuel cells and photovoltaics. We study the mechanisms of these powerful nanofabrication techniques to develop a fundamental understanding of their chemistry, which we aim to exploit to accelerate their development and extend their application.
Interfaces between specific dissimilar materials have properties that enable various technologies including photovoltaics, flash memory, transistors, fuel cells and batteries. We simulate the electronic properties of novel interface structures to computationally study, design and develop new interface technologies for energy, microelectronics, information storage and biomaterials technologies. Interfaces we investigate include those between metals and dielectrics, dielectrics and semiconductors, molecular dyes and dielectrics, amino acids and semiconductors and organic molecules and quantum dots.

Be aware that the 192.168.1.1:8080 address is the address of the administrative utility; it is a separate user name and password not associated with the WiFi password. So if it's refusing to connect because of username and password - ensure your using the admin account.

The mortgage industry's Budget wishlist
By Sam Barker	 7th March 2017 8:53 am
Mortgage experts are calling for stamp duty reform and increased homebuilding as part of the Budget tomorrow.
Yorkshire Building Society chief economist Andrew McPhillips says stamp duty in its current form pushes up cost for buyers, worsening affordability problems.
He says: "Levying the charge against sellers rather than buyers will help to reduce costs for first-time buyers, helping more people to get on the property ladder. It would also help those moving up the property ladder, enabling them to move to a more suitable property and potentially freeing up smaller homes for first-time buyers to purchase."
Jeremy Leaf & Co founder Jeremy Leaf agrees.
He says: "Help for downsizers and first-time buyers by way of stamp duty concessions would stimulate more transactions.
"If sellers rather than purchasers pay stamp duty, activity will increase. This is especially if housebuilding picks up too – bearing in mind the increasingly high proportion of first-time buyers who pay stamp duty currently, around 75 per cent, compared with just over half in 2006."
Legal & General Mortgage Club director Jeremy Duncombe also calls for stamp duty reform in the Budget.
He says: "By using stamp duty incentives to free up additional housing supply, the Government can help ensure families have more access to the larger homes they need and that smaller properties are available for first-time buyers."
Mortgage market insiders also say homebuilding should be a focus in the Budget.
Leaf calls for more homes to be built, but also for the Government to pay attention to falling transaction levels.
He says: "Everyone knows we're not building homes fast enough despite recent improvements. But just as worrying is the fall in transactions over the past 12 months, which is having a detrimental on effect on the rest of the economy.
"London has been bearing the brunt of the loss but it is the engine driving the national economy and principal source of taxation revenues, so the Chancellor will not want the situation to continue for too much longer."
McPhillips also thinks the Government should build on their recent housing white paper and increase supply.
He says: "Although this would help to alleviate some of the effects of the housing crisis, it does not address the root cause which is the lack of supply. The Government should implement the proposals in their recent white paper and go further to boost housebuilding so that there are enough properties available for people to buy."
But technology firm Habito chief executive Daniel Hegarty says there are positives to be found in the Government's recent housing policy.
He says: "Last year's Autumn Statement and the recent housing white paper have shown the Government is not just acknowledging the housing shortage, but taking much-needed action to solve the issue.
"We need to see Chancellor Hammond put his money where his mouth is and either extend or introduce new help-to-buy or shared ownership schemes. It is key to ensuring the long-term homebuilding strategy reaches first-time buyers and families who have been left out of the windfall created by London's surging valuations."

It is with great pleasure that I am able to offer this wonderful katana from the Muromachi era. Nagamitsu worked in Osafune during the Eiroku era (circa 1558). He is a Jo-saku rated smith in Fujishiro and is a Jûyô rated smith. This particular blade is dated as being made in the third year of Eiroku (1560). At a glance it resembles the workmanship of Sukesada or Kiyomitsu.
Unlike the earlier Sue-Kotô (late Kotô) blades of circa Meiô to Eishô (1492-1521) when the average lengths are around two shaku, one-sun (25 inches), blades dating to Eiroku such as this blade tend to have lengths of around two-shaku, three-sun. This change in length is generally attributed to the increased pace in fighting. For example, in 1560 when this blade was made, the Imagawa were defeated by Oda Nobunaga and the country was at the height of the Sengoku period of constant warfare.
In keeping with these changes, this blade has a cutting edge of 27.25 inches or 69.2 cm. It is a wide and powerful blade with a moto-haba of 1.16 inches or 2.9 cm and a saki-haba of 0.88 inches or 2.2 cm. It has a deep koshi-sori of 1.03 inches or 2.6 cm. There are bô-hi on both sides ending in maru-dome (round shape) just above the habaki.
The jigane of this sword is typical Bizen with a mixture of ko-itame and mokume that is well worked and covered in minute ji-nie. The hamon starts at the yokote in a wide suguha form with a few areas of small midare. As it proceeds down the blade toward the nakago, it becomes a wild and flamboyant gunome-midare that reaches the shinogi in areas on both sides. The habuchi is covered in ko-nie and the yô are highly active. There is some feint utsuri especially in the bottom half of the blade along the shinogi. The bôshi is stretched which is indicative of this era of production in Bizen and is almost ichi-mai on both sides. There is some hakkikake activity within the bôshi. There is a ko-maru tip and short kaeri. As one sometimes finds with a blade from this era, that are the remnants of some sword strikes on the lower third of the mune. They have been mostly removed by polishing, but they are still evident.
The first line is the name of the swordsmith, Jirobei-no-Jo Nagamitsu. The second line translates as, "Ordered by Shimada Izumi-no-kami Hisanaga as he was returning to his home in Inaba (Tottori Prefecture)". The two squares in the mei represent two kanji characters naming the town in Inaba. It must have been a small town because no one seems to be able to read these kanji (you will see the same two squares on the NBTHK papers).
This translates as the date of forging, i.e. "A lucky day in June of 1560".
This blade comes with a fantastic koshirae. The saya is black lacquer and is in pristine condition. The fuchi, kashira, and menuki are signed Hidetomo (kao). Hidetomo worked in the mid-1600's and was a student of Omori Teruhide. The quality is superb and consists of shishi lion-dogs done in extremely high relief in shakudo and gold. The tsuba is of shibuichi and is delicately carved in kebori style depicting a shishi also.
The blade comes with NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon papers attesting to its authenticity and quality. This is a fantastic katana from an exciting period of Japanese history. It has been wonderfully preserved.

Research from Tufts University nutrition scientists shows that Americans are drinking so much soda and sweet drinks that they provide more daily calories than any other food. Obesity rates are higher for people consuming sweet drinks. Also watch for hidden sugar in the foods you eat. Sugar may appear as corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrate or malt syrup, among other forms, on package labels.
Having the proper footwear is essential for any workout, and for winter runs, that means sneaks with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), says Polly de Mille, an exercise physiologist who oversees New York Road Runner's Learning Series for first-time New York City Marathon runners. "Polyurethane tends to get really stiff and cold in the winter, which could increase your risk of injury." Another important feature is a waterproof and windproof upper: Look for shoes made with Gortex, or wrap your mesh uppers in duct tape to keep feet dry and warm.
Low-fat dairy products are excellent sources of calcium. Other good sources of calcium include salmon, tofu (soybean curd), certain vegetables (broccoli), legumes (peas and beans), calcium-enriched grain products, lime-processed tortillas, seeds and nuts. If you do not regularly consume adequate food sources of calcium, a calcium supplement can be considered to reach the recommended amount. The current recommendations for women for calcium are for a minimum of 1,200 mg per day.
In addition to his role with MPOWER Fitness, Teddy is a PhD student at Texas A&M. His studies focus on Strategic Management in the Sports Industry. Prior to starting at A&M, Teddy worked as a sports facility consultant for Major League Baseball. He has also worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer for a nationwide health club and at Florida State University's (FSU) Campus Recreation Center. He earned his Masters of Sports Management from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2013 and his Bachelor's in Political Science from FSU in 2011. In his spare time, he enjoys playing golf, watching football, and reading.
No matter how busy you are, eat lunch before 3 p.m., a Spanish study suggests. Researchers placed a group of women on a diet for 20 weeks; half ate lunch before 3 and half consumed their midday meal after 3. Although both groups' daily caloric intake, time spent exercising and sleeping, and appetite hormone levels were the same, those who lunched late lost about 25 percent less weight than earlier eaters. Being European, lunch was the biggest meal of the day for these women, constituting 40 percent of their calories for the day, so consider slimming down dinner in addition to watching the clock.
For a strong backside that will turn heads wherever you go, Marta Montenegro, a Miami-based exercise physiologist and strength and conditioning coach, recommends completing 100 kettlebell swings nonstop with a moderate weight at the end of a legs workout. [Tweet this tip!] If you can't access a kettlebell, do deadlifts and hip-thrusters instead. "Women tend to overemphasize the quadriceps even when they think they are working the butt. With these two exercises, you'll have no problem engaging the glutes and posterior muscles of the legs," Montenegro says.
Although canola oil appears to be good for the cardiovascular system, two Harvard studies have raised concerns that ALA might be bad for the prostate. In 1993, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study of 47,781 men published a major evaluation of dietary fat and prostate cancer. It found that saturated fat from animal sources such as red meat and whole-fat dairy products was linked to a 2.6-fold increase in prostate cancer. But the study also provided some disquieting news about ALA: Men who consumed the most ALA were 3.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than those who had the lowest dietary intake.
If you count calories, count fat calories, too. Food labels indicate how many calories come from fat, both in actual grams and in percentages. This helps you assess the percentage of fat in your diet. If the total number of fat calories is 30 percent or more of the total calories you consume in a day, you probably need to cut back. But don't be misled by terms like "lower fat." Ask yourself "lower than what?" and look at the overall percentage of fat calories in the food.
Men who choose to drink and can do so responsibly may benefit from one to two drinks a day, counting 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1.5 ounces of spirits as one drink. But women face an extra risk: Even low doses of alcohol can raise their risk of breast cancer. So women who choose to drink might be wise to limit themselves to half as much as men.
Packing your two-piece away for winter means you won't think about how you'll look in it until about April. Avoid any potential "how did my butt get this big?!" panics come spring by keeping your swimsuit handy and putting it on every so often to make sure you like what you see, says Tanya Becker, co-founder of the Physique 57 barre program. You can also toss it on when you're tempted to overindulge, she adds. "There's no better way to keep yourself from having that after-dinner cookie or slice of cake."
Women, as we age, are also more susceptible to the breakdown of our bones, which may result in osteoporosis over time. Genetically, women have a particularly high risk of osteoporosis compared to men, so it's recommended that women monitor their calcium intake to be sure they're getting enough. Weight training is another great way (and my favorite!) to build bone density, which is another great reason you should hit the weights!
Healthy eating is a way of eating that improves your health and helps prevent disease. It means choosing different types of healthy food from all of the food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and proteins), most of the time, in the correct amounts for you. Healthy eating also means not eating a lot of foods with added sugar, sodium (salt), and saturated and trans fats.


The Tufts Secrets Facebook page, pictured here, allows Tufts students to post anonymously, an ability that has led some to debate the usefulness and helpfulness of this page.
From ASKfm to Yik Yak, anonymous sharing platforms seem to inevitably descend into baiting, bullying and bitterness. Nevertheless, they continue to be reimagined and reintroduced, aiming to create positive spaces for unfiltered exchanges. "Tufts Secrets," a Facebook page created this fall by an incoming graduate student, proves little different.
The page's goal is to make people feel they are part of a tangible community and find people they could relate to, according to its creator who requested to remain anonymous. Despite well-meaning intentions, the page's atmosphere quickly turned sour. The page administrator tracked the descent.
James Boehme, a first-year who follows the page, weighed in on its commitment to free speech.
The administrator defended his decision to post every secret received.
The post faced immediate opposition from commenters with varying intents. Boehme, who commented to reason with the poster, was eager to respond to the post.
Others viewed debating with the poster as futile. Edwin Jain, a junior who commented with specific objections, felt that his comments were more for the ambivalent readers of the post.
On the differing comments, the administrator thought that impactful ways to respond to disquieting posts exist.
In response, Ria Mazumdar, who commented a simple denunciation, explained her thoughts on why discourse on the page would be ineffective.
Jain, however, saw anonymity as beside the point.
Boehme promoted in-person dialogue as a way to hold people accountable for their opinions and stated that Tufts Secrets' anonymity didn't offer a productive conversation. However, he argued, if better utilized, anonymity could be helpful.
"Someone who is LGBTQIA needing a safe space for coming out — that could be a good way as a first step to have that anonymity, just post it and say, 'This is what I feel,'" he said.
In spite of potential page benefits, Mazumdar does not believe posts like the secret in question bring about healthy discussion.
"I don't think the existence of the page in general contributes any productive discourse whatsoever," she said.
Boehme saw the page as a microcosm of campus.
The administrator, however, urged perspective.
To refocus the page, the administrator instituted a theme week. Each day he accepted secrets only on a specific topic, like sadness, happiness or anecdotes.
Jain viewed the theme week as attempting to ignore deeper problems.
UPDATE: This article has been updated to clarify Ria Mazumdar's comments on whether certain Tufts Secrets posts create healthy discourse.

So, last October I received a letter inviting me to be a part of a delegation of library and information science practitioners and teaching faculty that would be visiting with colleagues in China to discuss "educating the information professions" in our respective countries. This was proposed and being led by Nancy Roderer, Director of the Welch Biomedical Library at Johns Hopkins University, who happens to be my first mentor and Director that I worked for (at Yale's medical library, back in 1995-1997), fresh out of library school. Wow, what an opportunity, but how to come up with the money for this in a short time frame?
So I wrote a grant proposal to the in-house grant program that we have at the Hesburgh Libraries at Notre Dame, which provides funding for research in librarianship for its library faculty. I proposed to study and contrast the formal and informal education of systems librarians in the United States and Canada with those of China. Those of us in the sub-discipline of systems librarianship know how much of an ad-hoc process it can be to actually get into this role in libraries, and despite more technology focus than ever before in LIS programs, we still talk much about the 'accidental systems librarian', one who through a confluence of technical skills, learning ability, intellectual curiosity and need, gravitates towards roles in providing support for library computing infrastructure in the institutions in which we serve. I'm intrigued whether this has been formalized any more in professional programs than when I went through my studies (McGill MLIS '95). I've also been reading up on the idea of 'communities of practice', and I think there are some excellent examples of where communities within the sub-discipline of systems librarianship come together and organically form themselves into an intentional community of practice, where the informal education along with a group of peers bridges the gap between the formal education one receives in MLS and related programs, and the practical hard and soft skills one needs to be a successful systems librarian, for example in a higher education institution in North America.
Take the Code4Lib community, for example, a group of library computing professionals (not all degreed librarians, which is important to note) that are engaged with the possibility and practice of leveraging open source software to provide solutions for library needs. This is quite an interesting 'community of practice' in that it grew up organically from within systems librarianship, first with a mailing list, and IRC channel and a website, and then with a major national annual meeting that regularly sells out and has more recently spawned a whole host of regional Code4Lib meetings through the US, Canada and Europe.
So what is so interesting about all of this? Well, for one there continues to be a dearth of published research on the topic of systems librarianship. Its important to understand the role of systems librarians within the context of libraries and where they can best contribute, particularly when technology approaches in libraries seems to be accelerating. We have a handful of good books on the subject, beginning with Tom Wilson's excellent 1998 work "The Systems Librarian: Designing Roles, Defining Skills" and Rachel Singer Gordon's more recent "The Accidental Systems Librarian", and then perhaps a dozen articles, but that's pretty much it. Tom's work posits that there have been systems librarians since the last 1960s and although they have had various titles, they have cluster of important characteristics, skills and roles within libraries, and as technology changes the titles change but the raison d'etre for the position remains largely the same: enabling the use of technology to support the mission of the library and the communities in which the library serves.
The combination of examining these questions within the context of a rapidly emergent nation such as China, and the increasingly significant state-directed information industry there seemed even more interesting to me. If we have developed some of these norms of defining what the sub-discipline of systems librarianship over the course of the past 40 years in North America, what is the experience of this like in China, where modern library and information science only began following the 'Great Reforms' of the 1980s in deconstructing the Cultural Revolution period (1966-1975) which severely damaged higher education institutions in China. To what extent are the roles of the equivalent of systems librarians in Chinese libraries equivalent to those of their colleagues in North America, and what is the mix of formal and informal education for successful members of these roles, and to what extent are there communities of practice around systems librarianship in China?
I'll be exploring these issues on my visit to China with the delegation, April 17-26 in our visits to six library organizations and schools in Beijing and Shanghai. I will document and share my thoughts as much as I can here throughout this trip, and welcome your comments and insights as I do so.


A trade ticket is the combination of all details relating to a trade. In order to discuss the lifecycle of a trade, we begin by looking closely at the components of a trade ticket. These will vary according to the type and asset class of the trade being transacted.
• some other financial instrument.
We will divide the ticket into the major subcategories that apply to most trades and give a specific example to illustrate the concepts. As an illustration, details of the example deal are set out at the end of each section below.
Suppose My Trading Bank bought 20 000 Cadogan Petroleum ordinary shares quoted on the London Stock Exchange from The Bank Next Door on 3 June 2009.
Some features are required by all parts of the trade process and hence do not fall into any one subcategory. Among these are the identification details. These ensure that all processes know which trade they are acting upon and the status of the trade, so that it is clear where the trade currently sits.

COVID-19 Response at Red Dog Operations
Teck and NANA were notified today of a positive COVID-19 test for a Teck Alaska employee at the Port site. Red Dog is following established response protocols to ensure the health and safety of all personnel at Red Dog Operations is maintained. Information regarding travel and testing:
A positive test result was received today for one of the six employees who was quarantined at Port on August 12 due to significant contact with the original infected individual.
On August 22, five employees were re-tested, 10 days following significant contact with the individual who had the positive test result on August 12.
Note that all six of the employees at the Port in quarantine remain asymptomatic.
The remaining significant contacts will be re-tested after 14 days have elapsed from the original date of contact.
Prior to releasing individuals for R&R, employees must be released by public health authorities, following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and State Epidemiology guidelines.
Red Dog Operations is working on-site and with public health authorities to identify and contact any persons who may have had close contact with the individual and is taking precautionary steps to manage the risk of transmission. Additionally:
The employee is asymptomatic with no known symptoms associated with COVID-19 at this time.
The employee will undergo a second COVID-19 test in four days and will remain in isolation for sufficient days beyond that time until approval is received from public health to release the individual.
Contact tracing is progressing, and individuals having close contact with the individual will be placed in isolation, assigned to the Worker Protection Protocol or other appropriate measures will be taken.
Workers who are not contacted by Red Dog Operations do not need to self-quarantine; however, all workers are asked to closely self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste and smell, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat). If employees experience any of these symptoms, please immediately inform your supervisor and the onsite physician assistant (PA) and take immediate steps to self-isolate.
We will continue to closely monitor this situation and provide further updates to employees, contractors and community leadership as necessary.

This 'Richard the Lionheart' sword is one of our most popular pieces. The sword is 88cm (34 inches) long with the blade being 73cm (29 inches). The blade us made of 440 stainless steel with the scabbard being wood, leather, and metal alloy fittings. The handle is made of metal alloy. Richard the Lionheart fanously depleted the English treasury in his many gallant crusades. One of the most famous stories about this sword is that he sold it to the gullible french claiming it was the legendary Excalibur (or was it!).
