("AEX" or the "Corporation")
AEX Gold Inc. Reports Second Quarter Financial Results, Operational Update and Board Changes
TORONTO, ONTARIO - AUGUST 27, 2021 - AEX Gold Inc. (AIM: AEXG; TSXV: AEX), an independent gold Corporation with a portfolio of exploration licences in Greenland, announces its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("Financial Statements") for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
The Financial Statements and the accompanying Management Discussion and Analysis are available on the Corporation's website at www.aexgold.com and will be filed under the Corporation's SEDAR profile at
www.sedar.com    later today .
As previously communicated, the Nalunaq Project was put on hold in February 2021 due to unforeseen cost increases associated with the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic and as per the April 2021 announcement, the Corporation was focussing on four elements to continue advancing and de-risking the Nalunaq Project:
-- Conducting a third-party engineering study to optimize the Project costs and de-risk the Project schedule that will enable AEX to re-assess the execution methodology (self-execution vs. EPC) post completion;
-- Conducting fully funded 'early works' infrastructure and a 20,000-30,000m exploration program to expand the Nalunaq Resource;
--    Continue to advance the EIA and SIA to obtain all permits;
-- Regional exploration targeting both gold and Green/Strategic minerals through technical research, sampling and geophysical surveys.
Corporate and Operational Update
-- The Corporation completed a tender process for the third-party engineering study and have appointed Halyard Inc. ('Halyard') a boutique engineering consulting firm based out of Toronto, Canada. Halyard was involved in the engineering and design of most of the components in the Nalunaq processing plant and comes with Greenlandic, project execution experience. The engineering study on the process plant and associated infrastructure are progressing according to plan and we still expect completion by Q4 2021. The study will advance engineering and significantly de-risk project cost and schedule.
-- Legacy procurement and contracting commitments have been reviewed and orders that were placed for the Process Plant and Site Mobile fleet prior to the February 2021 announcement are ready for delivery, and a strategy for logistics/storage is being considered.
-- The third-party review of the Nalunaq Resource Model by InnovExplo, a specialist in a wide range of exploration and technical services in the metals and mining industry, has been completed and has concluded that the existing resource model contains no fatal flaws. The results of the review and recommendations formed the framework of the 2021 exploration program at Nalunaq. The drilling program will also leverage the latest findings from the drilling campaigns of 2019 and 2020 to test the down-dip extension of Main Vein in the Kirkspir Valley, nearby the South and Valley Blocks. The drilling campaign has got off to a slow start given the influence of COVID-19 and the high demand placed on drilling contractors which has been caused by high Commodity prices. Negotiations are currently underway with additional international drilling companies to support our exploration efforts this year, which will extend to our 2022 campaign.
-- A condition assessment of the Bulkhead will be conducted in October 2021 to confirm the design parameters and the quality of construction after which a remediation plan will be developed. The assessment will include non-destructive pile integrity and ultrasound tests to determine the Bulkhead thickness as well as an unconfined compressive strength test of cored concrete samples.
-- In June 2021, site preparation for the 50-person exploration camp commenced. Construction of the camp is progressing according to plan with estimated completion by September 2021. The camp will support continuing exploration activities at Nalunaq as the weather conditions turn towards winter in the coming months. Following the camp construction, the bridge crossing the Kirkespir River will be upgraded to provide reliable access between the exploration camp and historical mine site.
-- The Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and Social Impact Assessment ("SIA") are being advanced with no material update at this stage.
-- In parallel to the exploration being conducted at Nalunaq, regional exploration is predominately focused on the Vagar and Nanoq gold targets as well as other evolving targets in licences around Nalunaq. Furthermore, we are exploring for copper/base metals and rare earth elements ("REE") in the Sava licence, platinum group elements ("PGEs") in the Sagga dyke, graphite at Norrearm and base metals across the Tartoq licences.
Strengthening of the Board
The Corporation is pleased to announce the further strengthening of its Board of Directors with the appointment of two additional Non-Executive Directors, Liane Kelly and Warwick Morley-Jepson.
Liane brings a wealth of ESG experience to the Board having enjoyed a successful career focused on advising companies on sustainability and CSR initiatives. She currently sits on the Board of B2Gold Corporation and acts as a CSR Advisor to Middle Ground Consulting. Liane specialises in advising companies on community engagement and social impact, both of which will be vital for AEX as the Corporation continues to build on its strong engagement with its Greenlandic stakeholders. Liane replaces George Fowlie, who steps down from the Board, but will continue to provide his invaluable expertise in corporate and business development to the Corporation as well as supporting our Investor Relations in Canada.
Warwick has significant experience in mining having spent just under 40 years' in the industry, holding various managerial and executive positions including his current roles as Chairman and Independent Director of Wesdome Gold Mines and Karora Minerals respectively. Warwick was previously the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Ivanhoe Mines and before that held the same positions at Kinross Gold Corporation. His experience in mine development and operations at global mining firms is highly relevant to AEX as the Corporation continues to progress both the Nalunaq mine and its various exploration targets.
Q2 2021 Financial Highlights
-- The Corporation had a strong cash balance of $49.6 million at June 30, 2021 ($61.9 million at December 31, 2020), with no debt, and total working capital of $48.5 million ($61.4 million at December 31, 2020).
-- Capital asset purchase commitments, net of deposits on order as at June 30, 2021 was $6.0 million. These commitments, as previously reported, relate predominantly to the purchase of components of the process plant and surface mobile vehicles. Available liquidity, net of commitments as at June 30, 2021 was $43.6 million.
-- Construction in progress increased by $2.1 million in H1 2021 (zero at December 31, 2020), as a result of capitalized engineering costs on the Nalunaq Project prior to suspension on February 10, 2021.
-- Exploration and evaluation expenses during the quarter was $2.0 million (Q2 2020: $0.9 million), predominantly on the Nalunaq Property.
-- General and administrative expenses during the period were $2.1 million (Q2 2020: $0.5 million), the result of increased headcount, consulting and professional fees associated with right-sizing the organizational structure to develop Nalunaq.

Eldur Olafsson, CEO of AEX, commented:
"I am pleased to report a strong set of results, with the Company currently well capitalised and advancing on all our key workstreams. In addition to the considerable progress made in the de-risking and development of the Nalunaq project, we are very excited to report on the wider scale exploration efforts that are ongoing alongside the work on our gold targets, targeting green and strategic minerals.
We believe that the current efforts to expand the Nalunaq resource, in addition to the focus on our exploration portfolio presents a unique opportunity to investors and we look forward to updating the market in due course.
I would also like to welcome Liane and Warwick onto the AEX Board. On behalf of the Corporation, we look forward to leveraging their experience as we continue to execute our development strategy.
Warwick's experience across the mining value chain will be essential as the Corporation advances the engineering study and evaluates the Nalunaq Project execution methodology in the near future.
Liane's appointment together with the promotion of Joan Plant to Vice President - Environmental, Social & Governance is a strong recognition of AEX's commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen of Greenland. I would also like to thank George for the incredible work he has done throughout the years as a Board member and I look forward to continuing working with him as AEX develops"

Condensed Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AEX Gold Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated on February 22, 2017 under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Corporation's head office is situated at 3400, One First Canadian Place, P.O. Box 130, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A4, Canada. The Corporation operates in one industry segment, being the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. It owns interests in properties located in Greenland. The Corporation's financial year ends on December 31. Since July 2017, the Corporation's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") under the AEX ticker and since July 2020, the Corporation's shares are also listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") under the AEXG ticker.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 ("Financial Statements") were approved by the Board of Directors on August 26, 2021.
1.1   Basis of presentation
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in these Financial Statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year ended December 31, 2020.
2.    CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires Management to make judgments and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, Management evaluates its judgments in relation to assets, liabilities and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
In preparing the Financial Statements, the significant judgements made by Management in applying the Corporation accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Corporation's audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

6.    STOCK OPTIONS
An incentive stock option plan (the "Plan") was approved initially in 2017 and renewed by shareholders on June 9, 2021. The Plan is a "rolling" plan whereby a maximum of 10% of the issued shares at the time of the grant are reserved for issue under the Plan to executive officers and directors, employees and consultants. The Board of directors attributes the stock options and the exercise price of the options shall not be less than the closing price on the last trading day preceding the grant date. The options have a maximum term of ten years. Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall vest and become exercisable at such time or times as may be determined by the Board, except options granted to consultants providing investor relations activities shall vest in stages over a 12 month period with a maximum of one-quarter of the options vesting in any three-month period. The Corporation has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.
On June 9, 2021, the Corporation granted to the CFO 900,000 stock options exercisable at an exercise price of $0.59, with an expiry date of December 31, 2027. The stock options vested 100% at the grant date. Those options were granted at an exercise price equal the closing market value of the shares the previous day of the grant. Total stock-based compensation costs amount to $360,000 for an estimated fair value of $0.40 per option. The fair value of the options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with no expected dividend yield, 75.85% expected volatility, 1.07% risk-free interest rate and 6.6 years options expected life. The expected life and expected volatility were estimated by benchmarking comparable companies to the Corporation.

Cleanup Set for Sherwin-Williams Site
NEW YORK, NY—After years of study, cleanup is about to begin at a Superfund site poisoned by decades of paint-manufacturing operations.
Neighbors of the site that long housed Sherwin-Williams manufacturing activities are in line for a $14 million cleanup of their property, under a plan just announced by federal authorities.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued a Proposed Plan to clean up contaminated soil and groundwater beneath the Sherwin-Williams/Hilliards Creek manufacturing site in Gibbsboro and Voorhees, NJ.
Three sites make up the Sherwin-Williams Superfund site, which spans two New Jersey towns. The new cleanup plan for 33 residential properties is the first of multiple initiatives planned.
The SW/HC property is one of three that make up the Sherwin-Williams' Superfund site in the area; the property was originally owned by Lucas Paint Works. Hilliards Creek flows through the site and into a lake called Kirkwood Lake.
The old plant's soil and groundwater are contaminated with lead, arsenic and volatile organic compounds; the sediment in and near the creek contains lead and arsensic, according to the EPA.
The manufacturing site dates to the 19th century, and paint making began in the mid-1800s. John Lucas and Company produced the first chrome greens and chrome yellows made in America, the EPA said.
White lead was ground on the site, and the plant eventually produced 24 varieties of varnish as well as a variety of toxic pigments, according to the EPA's Site Description.
White lead (pictured) was ground on the Sherwin-Williams site for decades. Lead in residential paint was banned in the U.S. in 1978, a year after the Sherwin-Williams plant closed.
Raw materials were mixed and processed in multiple buildings throughout the site, and nearly 200,000 gallons of naphtha, xylene, mineral spirits, toluene, solvent blends and aromatic naptha were stored there.
The operation included 20-foot-deep lagoons for wastewater and paint sludge; above-ground tank farms; a railroad line and spur; drum storage areas; and large-scale manufacturing operations.
From the mid-1800s until 1977, the EPA said, the owners discharged materials from the lagoons directly into the creek; improperly stored and handled materials, leading to spills and releases; and allowed leaking tanks that resulted in "widespread contamination" involving "high levels of various contaminants."
Sherwin-Williams bought Lucas in the 1930s and expanded operations at the site.
The facility was closed in 1977 and sold to a developer in 1981.
1 Site, 3 Parcels
The three parcels that make up the so-called Sherwin-Williams Sites are:
The 2.9-acre Route 561 Dump Site in Gibbsboro;
The 11-acre United States Avenue Burn Site, also in Gibbsboro; and
The 20-acre Sherwin-Williams/Hilliard's Creek Superfund Site in Gibbsboro and Voorhees.
The Dump Site was added to the Superfund list in 1998; the Burn Site, in 1999; and the paint plant, in 2008. Although the site originally operated as a sawmill and then a grain mill, the Superfund issues stem entirely from the historical paint operations, the EPA notes.
Provided via Courier-Post
Neighbors of the old Sherwin-Williams plant site in Voorhees, NJ, picketed in April at a company paint store over the lack of a cleanup plan for the lake that is part of the Superfund site.
Because of the multiple sites, histories and current land uses, the EPA is addressing the cleanup in several phases. The new proposed plan is the first one.
Sherwin-Williams' Role
Since the facility closed, contaminated soils and sediments have migrated onto grounds that now hold residential properties, state and federal authorities report.
Some internal cleanup has occurred. Sludge has been removed, Soil Vapor Extraction and Free Product Recovery systems have been installed, and the area has been fenced.
The site has been operating under a 1999 Administrative Order of Consent. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) had several AOCs with Sherwin-Williams dating back to the 1970s.
NJDEP discovered the contamination of the Dump Site and Burn Site while investigating the manufacturing site. Sludge was up to five feet deep at the bottom of the pit when the discovery was made, authorities said.
Jurisdiction for the cleanup passed to the EPA in 2001. Since 2005, under EPA's oversight, Sherwin-Williams has conducted remedial investigation field sampling and related activities to evaluate the nature and extent of the contamination.
However, the EPA developed the cleanup plan announced this week.
More Cleanup Likely
The initial work will involve remediation on about 33 homes in the area, the EPA said. The soil will be excavated and disposed of at licensed facilities. The excavations will then be backfilled, replanted and restored.
Although the plant began as a sawmill, then became a grain mill, the contamination came entirely from its paint-producing years, the EPA said.
Authorities have completed evaluations on about 55 homes in all—primarily, properties adjacent to the site and those exposed to flooding and surface water runoff from it.
The EPA notes that multiple cleanups throughout the properties will be moving forward at the same time.
Comments Invited
The EPA is accepting public comments on the proposed plan through July 2. Written comments may be mailed or emailed to:
Ray Klimcsak, Remedial Project Manager
U.S. EPA, 290 Broadway 19th Floor
New York, New York, 10007-1866
klimcsak.raymond@epa.gov
Questions about the soil cleanup or sampling of nearby properties may be directed to Pat Seppi, EPA Community Involvement Coordinator, at 212.637.3679 or by email.
A public meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 11 in Gibbsboro to discuss the plan and accept oral and writen comments. Meeting details are available here.

UK Suffer Triple Blow to Quadrangular Hopes
The UK polocrosse team's hopes of success in the Quadrangular tournament, taking place in Australia in April, have suffered a triple blow as Beth Peaker, Lucy Shell and Hamish Michael have all withdrawn from the UK squad. The UK's long term squad development plans have also been damaged by the news that Beth Peaker now intends to move to New Zealand to try and stake a place in their National team.
Beth was one of the UK's great, young hopes; she played in the UK development squad which defeated the Americans in October 2008 and represented the UK at under 21 level on a number of occasions. She is a tough and fearless player who never gives up, reminiscent of Shelley King and Kerry Bean. Now the UK could potentially play against her in the Quadrangular in April and in the future.
Beth has played a winter season in New Zealand for the last few years and is dating New Zealand star Shane Hill. She is also good friends with Rick Murray, who played for the UK before also switching to New Zealand in 2007. It's believed that she has decided that her future lies in New Zealand and therefore has decided it makes sense to withdraw from the UK squad now and start trying to win a place in the New Zealand ladies side.
The withdrawal of Lucy Shell as ladies reserve has deepened the crisis for the UK and they have now called up Charlotte Pykett as their fourth UK lady player. Charlotte is another of the UK young hopes and was captain of the ladies who won in America in the Autumn 2008. At the moment the UK have not named a new reserve and it is possible that they will go to the Quadrangular tournament without one.
The UK, however, are not strangers to playing without back up, they went to the 2007 World Cup without a ladies reserve after Sophie Lodder broke her arm. At that event the UK played three lady players for most of their five matches and ended up finishing in second place. On that occasion they had the formidable Shelley King leading the line but she is now married and expecting her first child and so is unavailable for selection. This means there is the possibility of a repeat on the 2008 tests against Australia, when Sophie Lodder, Debbie Harris and Sarah Simkin played the majority of the test series. Those three now have a great deal of hope resting on their shoulders if the UK are to hold on to their number 2 spot in the world rankings and to show the world that they still have potentially the best ladies side on the planet.
The withdrawal of Hamish Michael as mens reserve is another blow. Hamish represented the UK at the 2007 World Cup and against the Australians in 2008 and is a vastly experienced player. Danny Duhig has been called up as men's reserve to replace him.

Everyone is hard to beat at World Cup, says Argentina coach
"We have played well today, but just because of that, it doesn't mean we will be world champions," he said.
Doha: The Argentine team coach Lionel Scaloni, after the team's 2-0 win over Poland said that every team is hard to beat at World Cup.
"Every game is hard. We lost to Saudi Arabia. You can lose to a European, African or South American side even if you play well. Some people think Australia will be easy in the next round, but they will be difficult, because everyone is difficult," he said.
He praised striker Julian Alvarez and midfielder Enzo Fernandez after the duo helped the team to beat Poland and move forward to the pre-quarters.
"The boys who have come in today have done well, but we always think about the team," said Scaloni.
"We have 26 players who can play, we have had changes and injuries and it helps knowing that who comes into the side can help. We have alternatives and all of them offer something different."
In the match, Fernandez ran the midfield and offered creativity, as well as setting up Alvarez to score Argentina's second goal.
"We are satisfied with the game. It wasn't easy due to the context of facing a team that would qualify with a draw or a win. The players gave a complete performance and we are happy. Some things don't work out, but the players kept on trying," Scaloni commented, reports Xinhua.
Argentina will play Australia in the round of 16. Despite the team being clear favourites, Scaloni warned it would be a tougher match than some think.

Botho von Hulsen (né le  à Berlin et mort le ) est directeur du théâtre royal prussien et président de l'.

Origine
Botho von Hülsen est le fils du général de division prussien  (1776-1849) et de son épouse Karoline, née  (1778-1830). Hülsen est lié à la famille  par l'intermédiaire de sa mère; l'écrivain  est un parent éloigné.

Biographie
Hülsen est formé dans le corps des cadets de Potsdam à partir de 1825. De là, il est affecté le 5 août 1833 au  de grenadiers de la Garde de l' armée prussienne en tant que Portepeefähnrich et promu sous-lieutenant en février 1834. Entre 1841 et 1843, il est en poste à Königsberg où il fait notamment la connaissance de l'actrice Sophie Schröder-Devrient par le biais du théâtre. À partir de 1844, il se voit confier la représentation de petites pièces pour soutenir les troupes à Berlin.

En mars 1848, Hülsen prend part à la répression de la  et est nommé premier lieutenant et adjudant du régiment début avril. À ce poste, il est utilisé pendant la première guerre de Schleswig et en 1849 lors de la répression de le soulèvement de mai à Dresde. Pendant cette période politiquement difficile (révolution 1848/49), le roi Frédéric-Guillaume IV le nomme directeur général de la musique de cour. Le 12 avril 1851, Hülsen obtient son départ avec le caractère de capitaine et la permission de porter l'uniforme régimentaire.

Avec ses adieux en mai 1851, il est nommé chambellan et, à la demande du roi Frédéric-Guillaume IV, intendant général des Théâtres royaux de Berlin (théâtre de la cour de Berlin, Staatsoper Unter den Linden), succédant à , et prend ses fonctions le 1er juin. En 1866, Hülsen est commandé au gouvernement de Berlin en tant que major et adjudant pour la durée de la guerre austro-prussienne. La même année, les théâtres de la cour de , Hanovre et Wiesbaden sont placés sous sa direction par arrêté royal.

En 1883, Hülsen créé la Fondation Hülsen pour soutenir les membres de l'ensemble dans le besoin ou dans le besoin. Pendant cette période, il agit également pendant un certain temps en tant que président de l'. À ce titre, il impose les vacances théâtrales qui sont d'usage aujourd'hui et joue un rôle clé dans l'abolition de la musique interactive.

Six semaines avant son 71e anniversaire, Botho von Hülsen décède le 30 septembre 1886 à Berlin et y est enterré.

Famille
Il se marie le 6 août 1849 à Blankenfelde avec l'écrivain  (1829-1892), une fille du comte Eduard von Haeseler. Le couple a plusieurs enfants :

 Maria Johanna Caroline Adolfine Hélène (née le 24 mai 1850 et morte le 29 octobre 1891) mariée avec Ludwig Hartwig genannt  (1842–1897), lieutenant général, parents d'
 Hans Adolf Botho Wilhelm Georg Ulrich Hermann Dietrich (1852-1908), général d'infanterie prussien
 Elisabeth Karoline Luise Marianna Dorothea (née le 31 mai 1855 et morte le 29 octobre 1887) mariée en 1877 avec Karl Georg
 Wilhelm Eduard Botho Kasimir Georg (1858–1922), directeur général du théâtre de la cour de Wiesbaden

Réception
Botho von Huelsen n'a aucune condition préalable pour sa profession liée à l'art. Pour ne pas s'aliéner la cour et son attitude plutôt conservatrice, il s'appuie davantage sur les classiques traditionnels et rejette majoritairement la mise en scène moderne. Bien qu'il ait fourni à plusieurs reprises de magnifiques performances en tant que réalisateur, il est souvent incapable d'utiliser des acteurs tels que Ludwig Dessoir, Theodor Döring, Friedrich Haase,  ou  conformément à leur performance. Il y a beaucoup de concurrence pour lui de la part des performances régulières de , et il peut difficilement rivaliser avec le Deutsches Theatre non plus.

Il ne met qu'à contrecœur Richard Wagner à l'affiche, lui reprochant sa participation à la révolution de 1848 à Dresde, qu'il a combattue militairement ; Wagner doît donc organiser lui-même la première de son Ring à Berlin devant l'Opéra de la Cour. Verdi est également peu entretenu.

Citation
 qualifie Hülsen "... l'esprit militaire personnifié dans la gestion du théâtre de la cour". Huelsen est considéré comme un représentant typique de la politique culturelle prussienne après 1848.

I make different playlists to coincide whatever activity I am doing. When running I like songs with a quick tempo/beat as I try to keep up or exceed the tempo. I usually listen to heavy metal when lifting.
On my walking playlist right now I have Confident by Demi Lovato, I Love It by Charli XCX, Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, Glad You Came by The Wanted, Can't Feel My Face by The Weeknd, The Walker by Fitz and the Tantrums, Sky Full of Stars and Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay and of course, Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake.
Nice list - Coldplay is present on my playlist as well.
Great to see you back! How come no profile picture?
hey - hope things are good...not back...just popped in for a look around. glad to see people are still doing well, as am I. I dont require support any longer but can say my time here was beneficial. Take care.
I hear you, I'm pretty sporadic on here now too. I read much more than I post. Always fun to see the transformations after going through it myself.
Impressed to find a Murphys fan!
It is more about the song than the group. I have heard it used on sporting broadcasts and like it and I am back from Vacation, so the Boy is back!
Thanks for this! I had been making playlists with google music but didn't want to spend 10 dollars a month, and I got tired of my playlists after a week or two. This is perfect!
That is going back a few years Cliff!
I've had to step up my yoga/pilates in the hope that it will help chronic hip bursitis and I find Kenny G with his saxophone relaxing.

Will Minister's elevated corridor proposal put service lane project in limbo?
The recent suggestion of Minister for Public Works Department and Highways, E. V. Velu, to the Centre to build an elevated highway between Thuvakudi and Tiruchi has raised a question mark over the proposal to build service lanes along the 14.5 km stretch of the Tiruchi-Thanjavur National Highway.
Land acquisition for the service lanes are supposed to be under way currently after a long struggle and a legal battle waged by residents living along the highway stretch. Residents lobbying for the cause had been contending that the accident rate has been very high in the absence of service lanes.
However, property owners and traders who face displacement due to land acquisition, organised as Tiruchi-Thanjai NH67 Salai Virivakka Panikalal Bathikapaduvor Kootammaippu, had mooted the construction of an elevated corridor as an alternative so as to protect the livelihood of a large number of people who would be affected by the project.
In October 2019, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to take expeditious steps to build service lanes along the stretch. It also ordered that the land acquisition process should proceed. District Collector S. Sivarasu had recently said that the land acquisition process will be completed by January.
But Mr.Velu, during his recent meeting with Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari to present a memorandum seeking various road projects in the State, had suggested that an elevated highway be laid between Tiruchi and Thuvakudi to avoid traffic congestion. However, there is still no official word on the fate of the proposal to build service lanes.
The suggestion has evoked reactions on expected lines from the rival groups. While the traders were happy that their demand has been echoed by the Minister, representatives of the residents associations are unhappy and insist that the DMK government should honour the High Court direction and its own pre-poll promise on the matter.
"We are happy that the Minister has made the suggestion as it would avoid any displacement and deprivation of livelihood. If approved, there will be no need for land acquisition or cumbersome shifting of utility lines, including water supply lines," observed S. Raghunathan, secretary of Tiruchi-Thanjai NH67 Salai Virivakka Panikalal Bathikapaduvor Kootammaippu.
He contended that the expenditure for building service lanes and elevated highway would be more or less the same. For, the government has to pay compensation based on the guideline value from 2013 and there could be delay due to litigations. Saving a thriving local business/economy along the highway would be major benefit as it brings substantial revenue to the government. "If displaced, it will be very difficult the revive the businesses/economy," he said.
But S. Subramaniyan, organiser, the Federation for Retrieval of Tiruchi-Palpannai-Thuvakudi Service Roads, dismissed the contention and expressed shock over the Minister's suggestion coming at a time when the land acquisition process is under way after a long struggle by residents.
"We consider the service lanes to be essential and are planning to write to the Union Minister and the Chief Minister drawing their attention to the frequent fatalities due to accidents and also the court directions. The PWD Minister has voiced the traders demand, which is just a diversionary and delaying tactic. It may take another 10 years to implement the proposed ₹1500 crore elevated highway," Mr.Subramanian alleged.
"The present DMK Ministers K. N. Nehru and Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi had supported our demand when in Opposition. Chief Minister M. K. Stalin had also reportedly assured that the service lanes will be implemented", he said.
He claimed that the traders may not have to lose their properties fully and many would have to give up just the front elevation or a portion of the buildings. They are to be suitably compensated for this and the service lanes have to be built in the larger interest of the residents. The Federation, he said, would take to the streets again to press its demand.

Home ■ Space ■ A galactic doughnut
26 June 2018 /
A galactic doughnut
Ring galaxies like this one are a mystery to astronomers.
No-one knows how ring galaxies like Hoag's Object are formed.
Is this one galaxy or two? Astronomer Art Hoag first asked this question when he chanced upon this unusual extragalactic object. On the outside is a ring dominated by bright blue stars, while near the center lies a ball of much redder stars that are likely much older. Between the two is a gap that appears almost completely dark.
How Hoag's Object formed remains unknown, although similar objects have been identified and collectively labeled as a form of ring galaxy. Genesis hypotheses include a galaxy collision billions of years ago and the gravitational effect of a central bar that has since vanished.
This image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in July 2001, revealed unprecedented details of Hoag's Object. Hoag's Object spans about 100,000 light years and lies about 600 million light years away toward the constellation of the Snake (Serpens). Coincidentally, visible in the gap (at about one o'clock) is yet another ring galaxy that likely lies far in the distance.
Mars more seismically active than the Moon
Did Mars have rings? Will it again?

Las Vegas Odds Maker Predicts Historic Romney Landslide
The only category I would question regarding Mr. Root's excellent analysis below is regarding the voting block of Hispanics. Obama's unconstitutional and "rule by edict" move a week ago which virtually ceases deportation of illegals and gives some 800,000 the right to work in America should be a boost for Obama in this category. Despite all of Obama's friends in the media and the passage of Obamacare (which should work against him this election) an Obama victory in a legitimate contest is in dire trouble. Another point to why this Usurper won't be legitimately re-elected is because now half of America don't believe he is who he says he is. (see link) This leaves Obama, who knows all this, only one option to win, and that is to cheat plain and simple. As I have said many times, he cheated to get into office, he certainly will not think twice about cheating to remain in office. Manipulating the ballot box via technology (see article) and community organizers that pay people to vote, and then re-vote as a deceased person is one method they will surely employ. The more fearful method of course would be halting the election all together via martial law, brought on by a false flag operation. In fact just a week ago he sent a letter to the Speaker of the House declaring a "national emergency".
Let nothing SHOCK you regarding this undocumented worker also known as Barack Obama. Marxists' are in no hurry to give up power once it is attained, no matter the cost. - W.E.
Maggie'sNotebook
Wayne Allyn Root is an entrepreneur and a successful Las Vegas odds maker. He was a classmate of Barack Obama at Columbia University, both studying political science and pre-law. Root was on the 2008 Libertarian vice-presidential ticket with former Congressman Bob Barr. He is predicting a Romney landslide in November.
Question of the day:
"Is there one major group where Obama has gained since 2008?"
Wayne Allyn Root:
Most political predictions are made by biased pollsters, pundits, or prognosticators who are either rooting for Republicans or Democrats. I am neither. I am a former Libertarian Vice Presidential nominee, and a well-known Vegas oddsmaker with one of the most accurate records of predicting political races.
Neither Obama nor Romney are my horses in the race. I believe both Republicans and Democrats have destroyed the U.S. economy and brought us to the edge of economic disaster. My vote will go to Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson in November, whom I believe has the most fiscally conservative track record of any Governor in modern U.S. political history. Without the bold spending cuts of a Gary Johnson or Ron Paul, I don't believe it's possible to turnaround America.
But as an oddsmaker with a pretty remarkable track record of picking political races, I play no favorites. I simply use common sense to call them as I see them. Back in late December I released my New Years Predictions. I predicted back then- before a single GOP primary had been held, with Romney trailing for months to almost every GOP competitor from Rick Perry to Herman Cain to Newt- that Romney would easily rout his competition to win the GOP nomination by a landslide. I also predicted that the presidential race between Obama and Romney would be very close until election day. But on election day, Romney will win by a landslide similar to Reagan-Carter in 1980.
Understanding history, today I am even more convinced of a resounding Romney victory. Thirty-two years ago at this moment in time, Reagan was losing by 9 points to Carter. Romney is right now running even in polls. So why do most pollsters give Obama the edge?
First, most pollsters are missing one ingredient- common sense. Here is my gut instinct: not one American who voted for McCain four years ago will switch to Obama. Not one in all the land. But many millions of people who voted for an unknown Obama four years ago are angry, disillusioned, turned off, or scared about the future. Voters know Obama now- and that is a bad harbinger.
Now to an analysis of the voting blocks that matter in U.S. politics:
*Black voters. Obama has nowhere to go but down among this group. His endorsement of gay marriage has alienated many black church-going Christians. He may get 88% of their vote instead of the 96% he got in 2008. This is not good news for Obama.
*Hispanic voters. Obama has nowhere to go but down among this group. If Romney picks Rubio as his VP running-mate the GOP may pick up an extra 10% to 15% of Hispanic voters (plus lock down Florida). This is not good news for Obama.
*Jewish voters. Obama has been weak in his support of Israel. Many Jewish voters and big donors are angry and disappointed. I predict Obama's Jewish support drops from 78% in 2008 to the low 60's. This is not good news for Obama.
*Youth voters. Obama's biggest and most enthusiastic believers from 4 years ago have graduated into a job market from hell. Young people are disillusioned, frightened, and broke- a bad combination. The enthusiasm is long gone. Turnout will be much lower among young voters, as will actual voting percentages. This not good news for Obama.
*Catholic voters. Obama won a majority of Catholics in 2008. That won't happen again. Out of desperation to please women, Obama went to war with the Catholic Church over contraception. Now he is being sued by the Catholic Church. Majority lost. This is not good news for Obama.
*Small Business owners. Because I ran for Vice President last time around, and I'm a small businessman myself, I know literally thousands of small business owners. At least 40 percent of them in my circle of friends, fans and supporters voted for Obama 4 years ago to "give someone different a chance." I warned them that he would pursue a war on capitalism and demonize anyone who owned a business…that he'd support unions over the private sector in a big way…that he'd overwhelm the economy with spending and debt. My friends didn't listen. Four years later, I can't find one person in my circle of small business owner friends voting for Obama. Not one. This is not good news for Obama.
*Blue collar working class whites. Do I need to say a thing? White working class voters are about as happy with Obama as Boston Red Sox fans feel about the New York Yankees. This is not good news for Obama.
*Suburban moms. The issue isn't contraception…it's having a job to pay for contraception. Obama's economy frightens these moms. They are worried about putting food on the table. They fear for their children's future. This is not good news for Obama.
*Military Veterans. McCain won this group by 10 points. Romney is winning by 24 points. The more our military vets got to see of Obama, the more they disliked him. This is not good news for Obama.
Add it up. Is there one major group where Obama has gained since 2008? Will anyone in America wake up on election day saying "I didn't vote for Obama four years ago. But he's done such a fantastic job, I can't wait to vote for him today." Does anyone feel that a vote for Obama makes their job more secure?
Forget the polls. My gut instincts as a Vegas oddsmaker and common sense small businessman tell me this will be a historic landslide and a world-class repudiation of Obama's radical and risky socialist agenda. It's Reagan-Carter all over again.
But I'll give Obama credit for one thing- he is living proof that familiarity breeds contempt.

UNSW To Host IIT Ropar Students For Solar Energy Workshop
Australia's University of New South Wales will host four engineering students from India at a solar energy workshop this week.
AsianScientist (Apr. 9, 2012) – Australia's University of New South Wales will host four engineering students from India at a solar energy workshop taking place from April 10-12 this week.
Australia and India have a lot in common when it comes to solar energy: both have an abundance of sunshine, and neither is taking full advantage of this renewable resource, said Dr. Rob Taylor, a mechanical engineer at UNSW.
Taylor, who is working on developing next-generation solar thermal energy systems that convert heat from sunlight into electricity, spearheaded the workshop after securing an internal grant from the Faculty of Engineering.
The four students, from the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) near New Delhi, will be linked up with engineering students at UNSW to work on a range of cutting-edge solar energy projects, that will continue by correspondence once the workshop is over.
"We wanted to bring these students to UNSW to learn about some of the emerging solar technologies in Australia and to build research partnerships," said Taylor.
The projects will explore plans for optimized solar powered cooling systems, the development of solar receivers that can withstand extremely high temperatures, and the design of thermal batteries that could be used as an additional energy source for electric vehicles – allowing climate control without compromising the travel range.
Other projects will explore ways that solar energy can be harnessed to more efficiently turn biomass into readily usable fuels and to reduce the environmental impact of water desalination.
"There are many states in India, especially along the coast line, which experience a shortage of pure water," said Dr. Himanshu Tyagi from IIT Ropar. "Solar-powered water desalination, if implemented on a large scale, can provide an excellent solution to this problem."
And solar energy can also be used to provide power to the masses.
"More than half of the country's population does not have access to electricity," said Tyagi. "For electricity production in rural areas in developing countries, solar energy presents a cheaper alternative."
Unlike Australia, which has long-established power infrastructure that is costly to rebuild and retrofit, India has the advantage of being able to establish renewable energy systems from the get go, as it continues to develop, said Taylor.
"Moving forward, India will be one of the biggest markets for solar technologies, which can be used to meet a lot of their growth areas," Taylor added.
