Home » News & Events » Newsletters » 1/2012 » Nordic countries - European exploration and mining hub
European exploration expenditure is estimated to reach around 400M EUR in 2011. The exploration efforts are to a large degree concentrated to the Nordic countries Sweden, Finland, Norway and Greenland. These countries together with Poland account for 288M EUR, which is estimated to be 2/3 of total exploration expenditure in Western Europe. There are no reliable official exploration statistics available but the European exploration survey by Raw Materials Group (RMG) gives detailed data for all these countries. In addition to the Nordic countries and Poland on the southern shore of the Baltic, smaller exploration programs are underway in the remaining mining countries of the EU: Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Bulgaria. Exploration in other countries such as for example Greece, Austria and Italy is minimal.
The 2011 expenditure figure is an all time high by far, both for the Nordic countries and all of West Europe. The total figure for the Nordic countries is 231M EUR, which is 13 % up compared to 2010. Compared to the bottom year 2009 when the expenditure was only 146M EUR it is obvious that the exploration sector has established itself on a much higher level than in the first part of the 2000s when exploration expemnditure was hovering between 65-95 M EUR. For 2012 RMG expects exploration to increase by 10-15 % to reach some 450 M EUR of which 265M EUR in the nordic region.
The Nordic countries are cementing their position as the premier European exploration and mining hub. The corollary is that the dominance of the Nordic countries in the mining sector will continue for the next decade or more. Admittedly Poland is among the most important mining countries in Europe with the major copper producer KGHM Polska Miedsz (Polish Copper) but exploration in Poland is limited and most of it done by KGHM in the vicinity of its existing mines in Lubin in Slesia. The likelyhood of finding new green field deposits is to say the least limited in Poland.
The exploration sector i the Nordic countries is less volatile and more stable than the global industry. Its growth in 2011 is much lower than the global 54 % but on the other hand the downturn in 2009 during the financail crisis was much less dramatic than in the rest of the world. The attractiveness of the Nordic countries has increased all through the past decade and there are many indications that this trend will continue in the next 5-10 years at least:
The Nordic countries and other prospective parts of Europe are underexplored compared to other regions with similar geolgoical endowment in Canada, Australia and West Africa.
The infrastructure, both transportlines such as railways and roads and telecommunications are well developed. Further the availability of experienced staff to carry out all phases of exploration is still good.
The attitudes of the public and aothorities towards exploration and mining are, in spite of some protests, in general positive in particularin the regions where miing is most important ie the nortern parts of the Sweden, Finland and Norway on the European mainland. The "resource nationalism", which is spreading in developing countries have few proponents in Europe. On the contrary the political interest in exploration and mining in Brussels is increasing after a trough in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The focus of European exploration efforts have traditionally been base metals (copper, lead/zinc and gold) nickel and PGMs have also been attractig growing interest but the fastest growht has been in iron ore exploration particulary in the Nordic countries. Some potential rare earths projects have also been identified and are explored at present.
Exploration in Europe serves an important role in regional economics. Most of the efforts are made not only in countries far off from the political centre in Bruselles but further in peripheral regions of these countries such as Norrbotten and Västerbotten in the far north of Sweden, Lapland in the Arctic regions af Finland and the easternmost parts of all EU also on the Finnish border to Russia and Finnmarka in northern Norway. In Greenland most exploration efforts are concentrated to the west and south coast. All these regions are areas in which every additional economic activity is important and where unemployment is relatively high and the economy stagnant. In many of these neighbouring regions the importance of mining is such that regional mineral strategies have been developed to make sure that the sector is supported and given reasonable conditions to develop even if the underastanding of the exploration and mining sectors in the national capitals and Bruselles is still in its infancy.
Finland has turned into the most exiting exploration country of Europe during the past couple of years. The dynamics of the Finnish exploration scene is staggering aptly shown duringhte FEM conference held bi-annually in Finnish Lapland. In November 2011 around 1 000 visitrs attended the Xth FEM conference, which was of course a record high participation. During the conference Anglo American announced its new green field copper, nickel, PGM project at Sakatti in nortehrn Finland. The significance of this new discovery was demonstrated during Anglo's announcment of its preliminary results for 2011: it was the only project highlighted. And it is not the only world class project in Finalnd, Gold Fields of South Africa is reviewing its Arctic platinum project also in northern Finland. In the same region are also First Quantum's Kevitsa nickel project and Northland Resources' iron ore project on the border to Sweden. The fromer is planned to come into production in 2012 and reach its full capacity of 10 kt nickel and 20kt copper in 2013. Northland's production will start in late 2012/early 2013. Canadian Agnico Eagle operates the largest gold mine in Europe at Kittilä while Inmet, out of Toronto, runs the Pyhäsalmi base metal mine successfully since many years. In addition to these juniors there are some 20 locally based and overseas juniors active in Finland: Endomines started its Pampalo gold mine in early 2011 and Nordic Mines plans to take its Laiva open cast gold mine into operation in early 2012. Borth these companies are listed in Sweden. The Talvivaara nickel/zinc/uranium mine is already in operation and is another product of the Finnish mining boom. Among the international juniors are Belvedere Resources, Taranis Resources, Magnus Minerals, Mantle Diamonds, Vulcan Resources, Western Areas, Tertiraly Minerals, Silver Resources and Mawson Resources just to mention a few. The Finnish Geological Survey has substantial part in these successes in that it generates targets which are auctioned to the private sector to take them further in the value chain.
The situation in Sweden is similar to that in Finland in that both local companies and transational majors are active. Exploration is dominated by the three majors Boliden (base- and preciousmetals), Lundin Mining (zinc) and LKAB the government controlled iron ore giant. All of them have major exploration programmes going since many years and spend significant amounts each. The success rate is, so far at least, not as good as in Finland and the only recent new deposit discovered is the small Svartliden gold mine operated by Australian junior Dragon Mining. The share of junior companies in the total exploration in Sweden is expanding rapidly and they account for some 50 % of the total exploration expenditure and the expansion coninues. There are more than 25 international juniors active in Sweden: Scandinavian Resources, Northland Resources, Beowulf (iron ore); Tasman Metals (REE); Continetal Precious Metals, Aura Energy (uranium); Drake Resources, Dragon Mining, and Gold-Ore Resources (gold); Avalon (base metals). Among the locally listed companies are: Nordic Iron ore, Grängesberg Iron Ore, Dannemora Minerals (iron ore), Lappland Goldminers, Kopparberg Mineral, Nickel Mountain and Botnia Exploration (base metals and gold).
Activities in Greenland are also running at high speed: In 2011 over 50,000 m of core drilling was made and the number of exclusive exploration licenses increased from 74 to 83 and 94 including current applications. Greenland attracts interest from all over the world: Tanbreez Mining and Greenland Minerals & Energy are both Australia based. Tanbreez is, as its name indicates, looking for tantalum, niobium, rare earths and zirconium at Killavaat Alannguat, while the latter company is exploring the Kvanefjeld deposit, both in southern Greenland. Ironbark Zinc Ltd is also based in Austrlia and studying the Citronenfjord zinc deposit the far north of Greenland. London mining, listed on the London AIM, is at the final stages of a feasibility study for the Isua iron ore deposit. Angel Mining, likewise based in the UK is exploring for zinc in the vicinity of the defunct Black Angel mine on the west coast of Greenland. The company has alos restarted the rich Nalunaq gold mine in southern Greenland. The originally government owned Nuna Minerals, focusing gold, is now trading on the Copenhagen stock exchange and looking for a secondary listing in Toronto.
In Norway the growth is impressive, almost 100 % between 2009 and 2011 albeit from a low level of only 6M EUR. The conditions in Norway for a continued growth in exploration expenditure are now present: A new mining legislation is in place and the focus of Norwegian authorites has shifted from only off shore oil and gas to include also land based minerals. The geology of Finnmarka in northern Norway is an extension of the Fennoscandian shield which starts in Russian parts of Karelia and continues across Finland into northern Sweden. Naturally there are only a limited number of companies active in Norway including the locally owned Nussir (copper), Store Norske Spitsbergen Grubekompani (operates coal mines in Svalbard) owned by the Norwegian government and Stockholm listed Arctic Mining and Sotakmo Silver are all exploring the Karasjok greenstone belt for gold deposits. In 2011 Canada based Dalradian Resources took out exploration licenses over a giant 17,000 km2 large area covering four greenstone belts and a historic sivler mining district. The exploration scene in Norway is getting hot indeed.

Finding the balance between work and for play isn't easy at times. We exist in a world where anyone, at almost any time, can get a hold of us. Not to mention the reality that information is coming at us from everywhere. Newspapers, TV, radio, websites, ...the list can go on and on.
Follow these six steps and use them with the power of hypnosis and you will be catapulted towards your goal faster than you can imagine.
Anger and Hurt; another lonely place!
Being human can really be challenging, to say the least. We feel emotions with every breath we take, every move we make. Some emotions are so sweet that we never want to lose that feeling. Other emotions cause us so much anger and hurt that we are paralyzed with pain.
Creativity can be developed in two steps. You can have more creativity in your problem solving, and life, starting today.
Every year approximately 9.5 per cent of the American population suffers from depression. Depression is a grave illness that affects day to day life and destroys families. It is a disorder that controls the mind and its functions causing loss of appetite, sleeplessness, mood swings, and a deep sense of despair.
Depression is an illness and needs to be acknowledged as such. It is not a reason to be ashamed. The reason so many people fail to seek help for their depression is that they are ashamed. Unfortunately, this is one of the feelings associated with depression anyway and makes the illness difficult to acknowledge. If you are constantly feeling particularly low, well-meaning friends might tell you to "snap out of it" or even start to get irritated by your mood.

An beautiful side dish that could easily be turned into a hearty vegetarian lunch, these braised carrots are cook with smoky tea for extra flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium high heat. Place whole carrots into skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once or twice. Sprinkle in the loose leaf tea and salt. Add the water, just enough that it covers about 1/4 inch of the bottom of the pan. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer. Cover and let simmer 6 to 8 minutes, until carrots are just tender.
Transfers carrots to a serving platter, leaving the tea behind in the pan, and sprinkle with minced parsley and sliced almonds before serving.
Tips & Tricks: This quantity of tea imparts a mild flavor in the braised carrots. Feel free to add or reduce the amount of tea depending on how you like the flavor of this dish!

Q: Laravel Eloquent Relationship get one column from other table I have question about Laravel Eloquent.
I have following tables
Users
    -id
    -email

Money
    -id
    -user_id
    -amount
    -total

User has many Money
I want to use something like $user->current_money
then i want to get the total from the last Money
i need this because i want to show all user's current money in table
@foreach($users as $user)

        {{$user->email}}
        {{$user->current_money}}

@endforeach

is there good practice for this?
Thanks

A: I like to use appends in Laravel Eloquent in order to achieve this.
in your Users model get add the $appends array. like this
protected $appends = ['current_money'];

this will look for a method getCurrentMoneyAttribute() in the User model. it should look like this.
public function getCurrentMoneyAttribute()
{

    return 0.00;

}

with the implication of the you have implanted the relationship between User and Money tables. your method should look like this,
public function getCurrentMoneyAttribute()
{

    return $this->money()->latest()->first()->total;

}

and when when ever you call the $user->current_money laravel execute the query and it will get the last row of the Money that is relevant to that user.

A: You can use Eloquent Relationships as you are asking about and a single query to accomplish this. Using append is a slippery slope because now it will add it to all user queries and may cause bloat as the app grows. As well appending it will have 2 queries versus a single one.
In the user model you define the relationship like so:
/**
 * Get money for a user
 */
public function money()
{
    return $this->hasMany('App\Money', 'user_id', 'id');
}

Then you can query the user like this in a single query for performance:
$user = User::where('id', $id)->with(['money'])->first();

or
$user = User::with('money')->findOrFail($id);

or now you can eager load the money as well since the relationship is now defined in the user model.
$user = Auth::user(); // or however you are pulling the user from the DB.
$user->money;

Then loop through the different money's.

Q: Add margin to a newcommand I have a command that is defined like this :
\newcommand{\lol}[1]{\vspace{4pt}\color{subheadings}\raggedright\scshape\fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Reg}\fontsize{9pt}{11pt}\selectfont {#1 \\} \normalfont }

I want to add a margin to this command, but can't find a way to do so properly.
For the moment I am using the scrextend package like this :
\begin{addmargin}[2em]{0em}
\lol{MY TEXT HERE}
\end{addmargin}

But it is cumbersome to add the environment each time I use my lol command.
Is there a way to add the addmargin environment inside the newcommand definition ?
Thanks

A: It would be something like
\setlength{\leftskip}{2em}

or maybe
\addtolength{\leftskip}{2em}

if you want extra indentation in an already indented environment. But manipulating the internal variable \leftskip may be tricky because there can be unwanted interactions with LaTeX's environments.
The problem is, when do you reset the margin? The advantage of an environment is that it is clear when it ends, and moreover, the kind of definitions like the above automatically are undone at the end of the environment. Your command doesn't do that. So you would need another command to reset the margin.
Also another problem is that if you do this in the middle of a paragraph it will apply to the whole paragraph.

A: If you want to get the effect of
\begin{addmargin}[2em]{0em}
\lol{MY TEXT HERE}
\end{addmargin}

the simplest way to do this is to modify your existing definition of \lol to include the \begin…\end of the enclosing environment. So you would rewrite your definition¹ as:
\NewDocumentCommand{\lol}{m}{
  \begin{addmargin}[2em]{0em}
    \vspace{4pt}\color{subheadings}\raggedright\scshape\fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Reg}\fontsize{9pt}{11pt}\selectfont {#1 \\} \normalfont
  \end{addmargin}
}

*

*Let's all get in the habit of using \NewDocumentCommand in place of \newcommand, OK?

A: To begin with, there are a few weak points in your definition of \lol:

*

*the command should first do \par;

*the \color statement should appear inside a group;

*similarly for \raggedright and you need \par to end its effect;

*using \fontspec in a document is discouraged, because it's very inefficient.

Now, unless you need lists or list based environments inside the argument to \lol, you don't need addmargin, but it's not a problem and it will provide the necessary grouping mentioned at points 2 and 3.
In the example below, I changed Lato to Fira Sans, because the Lato font in the standard distribution has no small caps. Also, \lipsum is used just to produce nonsense text. I added a definition for the color, use your own, of course.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scrextend}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage{lipsum}% for text

\colorlet{subheadings}{green!30!blue}

\newfontfamily{\latofont}{Fira Sans} % my Lato font has no small caps

\newcommand{\lol}[1]{%
  \par
  \addvspace{4pt}%
  \begin{addmargin}[2em]{0pt}
  \color{subheadings}%
  \fontsize{9}{11}\scshape\latofont\raggedright
  #1\par
  \end{addmargin}
  \addvspace{4pt}
}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[3][1-4]

\lol{\lipsum[1][1-4]}

\lipsum[3][1-4]

\end{document}

Atom 2012 . ISBN 9781907411007.
(Age: for teens 15+ ) Jeane Smith is a 17 year old dork and proud of it. So proud of it she's made a successful career out of it. As 'Adorkable' she blogs, Tweets and texts her way to overseas conferences, newspaper columns and interviews. She's an authority on her generation but one who disdains their conformity. She's a loner, and her friends are the Internet, her iPhone and her iPad. She wears clothes from Jumble sales (read orange tights), lives on her own, dyes her hair grey and survives on Haribo jelly sweets. Her separated parents live abroad and her guardian older sister is a doctor in Chicago. Jeane is confident, witty, clever and bitchy. But is she really a dork or is it all an act to be noticed?
Jeane's dork status is sorely tested when the most popular, straight and desirable boy in the school falls for her and before they know it they are in a sexual relationship. The sex here is honest, open and believable. The book alternates chapters from his point of view with hers. This captures the way the same event can be totally differently interpreted by the two people involved. Jeane persuades Michael to lie to his parents and fly with her to New York for a weekend. Naturally trouble then brews. Eventually Jeane is alone on Christmas Eve, in difficulty, and with no-one to turn to but Michael and his family. When she then experiences his happy family life she has to decide who she really is and what she really wants.
This is a witty, entertaining book full of punchy come-back lines. Themes of identity, family influence, social norms and growing up are explored, and the character of Jeane, despite her voicing authorial-sounding insights on her generation, is memorable. Girls will love this very contemporary look at Gen Y set in England. Michael is perhaps too good to be true but the theme of celebrating difference is refreshing and 'dorky maybe the new cool.'

The change of climate will always affect the way your hair and skin looks. Now, winter is almost over and I want to be ready to welcome spring. After Christmas season passed, winter is now seemingly dragging and with the warmer days and flurries of snow, it even seems to be a bit far away.
If you are intending to freshen up and shake off that hair of yours that is lifeless, then you need to do something right away. When you freshen your look, then it goes without saying that you will feel better and be able to boost your confidence in a great way.
But this kind of step is always hard for a majority because we lead busy lifestyles. This includes trying to make ends meet by looking for money, studying, catching up with work and looking after your pets. That means that you will not have time to make a better makeover of your hair and how you look.
The best way that you can use to make your change completely is to color it. Never go for cheap ways of doing that. Do some research and even go to Pinterest.
From that, you will find various ways that you will choose from. That gives you a chance to guide your salon stylist on what you want. You might be in love with home color, but that is never enough.
This is the time that you need to try and use a semi-permanent color. Remember that even the use of a trim is enough to change your hair completely. It will make your hair look healthier and even fresher than before.
Take this chance and ensure that you highlight your face shape in various ways. If you want to get a better face shape, then finish it up by using an eyeliner as you look yourself in the mirror, you will just find a new you.
Majority of us always find it a bit difficult or hard to try new techniques of trying different shades of lipstick. Now, I can offer you ideas that you can go for. Be different and try to use either deep red or romantic pink that you might not be able to wear in winter unlike gloves.
If you are always used to wear a black eyeliner, then it is time that you need to swap it around and use a softer brown or even add a flick on it. It is good to remember that your eyebrows are always the ones that shape your face.
Remember also to look at your skin and hair at all times. You can achieve this by getting lots of sleep, exfoliating, and drinking lots of water.

In News and Film, the Anti-Israel Bias Pervades
by Phyllis Chesler
https://www.investigativeproject.org/8867/in-news-and-film-the-anti-israel-bias-pervades
The world media has launched so many anti-Israel propaganda "rockets" that it feels like they far outnumber the real ones that Hamas has launched against civilian Israel.
From May 10-19, the New York Times alone printed enough words (76,586) about Hamas's attack on Israel to constitute a novel. Even when it reports a true fact, which it does, its impact is dulled or even lost by the overriding narrative context in which Israel is at fault and Hamas is either innocent or heroically resisting "settler" oppression and Nazi-like persecution.
This word count does not include the many photographs of weeping Palestinian mothers, wounded and bloody Palestinian fathers, bombed Gazan buildings, allegedly dead Palestinian children, etc. Each print edition has at least six to eight such photographs. Perhaps there's one small photo in each issue which shows us minor damage to an Israeli house and an unclear example of Israelis in a stairwell – but the Israeli photos always appear second or last and are always smaller.
From a psychological point of view, first impressions and size are what count.
The headlines in the print editions are also misleading. Take Sunday's headline: "4 Weeks on Path to War: From Raid on a Mosque to Middle East Carnage." However, Israeli forces or civilians did not torch any mosque. In fact, Arab mobs created a riot on the Temple Mount, burned a synagogue down to the ground in Lod, and lynch-murdered an Israeli man, also in Lod.
Tuesday's headline was: "MidEast Violence Rages on as Biden Backs a Cease-Fire. He Avoids Placing Blame—Israel Vows to Keep Hitting Hamas Targets." As usual, the paper of record trumpets "the deaths of dozens of Palestinian children" in its opening paragraph without always noting how many of those children were probably murdered by Hamas's own rockets which fell short – or because Hamas placed their weapons and military intelligence headquarters in schools, hospitals, and mosques – creating human shields for propaganda purposes. This should be routinely noted in daily coverage.
You have to get to the end of the sixth paragraph before you read that Hamas "has killed nine civilians in Israel, including two children, and at least one soldier." Oddly, they rarely report the number of Israeli wounded and traumatized by constant rocket fire.
As usual, there are multiple pieces on this one subject in this same issue.
Instead of describing and naming the treacherous insurrection launched by some Arab citizens, the Times describes it as "civil unrest." In my humble opinion, Israel must find every single member of each Arab mob, jail, prosecute, and sentence them.
Israel is surrounded by the most insidious "Big Lies." In my view, this constitutes incitement to knifing, car-ramming, lynching, full-on pogroms, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, atrocities in which Jews are the victims, not the aggressors.
How can such blood libels be believed? In addition to our 3,000-year history of anti-Jewish propaganda, let me suggest that the modern, world-wide film industry now bears a singular responsibility for grooming people to believe only the worst about Israel and only the best about a Palestinian terrorist group that oppresses its own people and is dedicated to Israel's destruction.
Films can show us lies – which we believe because we saw them "with our own eyes." The purposeful "murder" of Muhammad Al-Dura at the Netzavim junction, the fake Israeli massacre in Jenin, the Israeli defensive action against the armed Turkish flotilla, the Mavi Marmara, etc.
The most recent example of such propaganda porn is Farah Nabulsi's short film, "The Present," which was nominated for a 2020 Academy Award, raved about by film critics, as well as by Noam Chomsky and Alice Walker. Only 24 minutes long, we see the most soulful and soft-spoken of Palestinian men and his much-adored young daughter as they endure cruelty, humiliation, frustration, and extreme danger at the hands of Israeli army brutes. We also see the horrifying human congestion awaiting entry into Israel at checkpoints and army roadblocks.
What we never get to see is why such single file tunneling and ID checking came into being, namely the intense 2001-2002 terrorist bombing campaigns by Palestinians from the disputed territories – not the occupied territories – in the West Bank, which claimed more than 1,000 Israeli civilian lives and wounded far more. Hence, the security wall and the checkpoints were added to protect Israeli civilians. Like the Iron Dome, they work.
Nabulsi's film is only the latest in a long line of similar propaganda films.
For example, in 2005, Paradise Now won many awards and sold to 45 countries. Backed by Dutch, French, and German investors, the film "humanized" Palestinian suicide killers. Again, the hero is a very handsome and soulful man, an Arab Marcello Mastroianni, played by Kaif Nashef. We are rooting for him, Said, and his comrade, Khaled, and not for the doomed Israelis. To bring this about, the film lies about everything. Well, it's fiction, and isn't fiction entitled to all the lies it can tell? Here's what I wrote about this way back in 2005:
"Doctored film footage of fake Israeli massacres and fake Jewish and Israeli killings of Palestinian innocents have already inflamed most of the Arab and Muslim world; the European and to some extent the American media has been inundated with precisely this point of view. Paradise Now is the first feature film on the subject by a Palestinian. Because this is a good film, it will have enormous ongoing influence over how an already heavily indoctrinated world audience views the phenomenon of Palestinian suicide bombings.
Indeed, perhaps the biggest lie in this film is something the film omits almost entirely: we do not get a clear sense of how filthy and continuous the hatred of Jews and Israel really is among Palestinians, how brainwashed the impoverished Palestinian population really is. And this hatred continues in the film: a taxi driver, for instance, accuses the Israelis of polluting the drinking water with anti-spermicides – not so different from what Mrs. Arafat said when she accused the Israelis of causing cancer and fertility problems among Palestinian women.
Also omitted are the bloody Israeli body-parts, the screams, the terror, the pain, the life-long disabilities, the collective Israeli agony. In fact, we do not get to see Said blow up his bus of Israeli soldiers. We see him in a series of close-ups—and then the screen goes white. Slowly, we understand that he has detonated his bomb. Slowly, the screen credits come up in Arabic."
Since then, film after film has presented both Israel and America as the bad guys, and Arabs, immigrants, and especially terrorists, as justified, sympathetic, and heroic. Here I am thinking about George Clooney's Syriana; Brad Pitts' Babel and A Mighty Heart, a film purportedly about the beheading of Daniel Pearl, but which was politically correct enough to be hosted by CAIR (the Council on Islamic American Relations) at its premiere in Los Angeles.
Let me mention just one more film which drives the Palestinian narrative. In Amreeka, which premiered at the Sundance film festival in 2009, the Israelis are again depicted as all bad. They are shown only as soldiers, always manning checkpoints (a la The Present), where they harass, mistreat, and terrorize innocent, sympathetic Palestinian civilians. There are absolutely no good Israelis – and all the Palestinians, including the suicide killers, are charming and sympathetic. When a Palestinian mother and children flee to America, with a few exceptions, they find the same hatefulness and Islamophobia here.
These films, and many others: The Visitor; Unwelcome: The Muslim Next Door; The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Waltz with Bashir; have been widely viewed and written about. It is not too hard for readers to believe this exact same narrative in print. They've already seen it again and again.
I highly recommend Pierre Rehov's films as a corrective. See all his films, but especially, view War Crimes in Gaza.

Your child's nutritional intake is vital for life-long health and well-being. While the CDC and the World Health Organization promotes breastfeeding as the healthiest way to ensure appropriate levels of nutrition for newborns 0-6 months of age, this is not always possible for those infants that had challenges at birth. Sensory issues, oral motor issues, and aquired avoidance issues can make feeding a challenge for many infants and young children. Our providers help families work through these challenges and promote better nutritional habits.

Salutogenesis is something more than a measurement of the sense of coherence. Today, we can talk about salutogenesis as an umbrella concept with many different theories and concepts with salutogenic elements. There are similarities and differences between the concepts under the umbrella, the commonality is that the focus is on human resources and skills, on functioning rather than on deficits and personal shortcomings.

Bacteria Implicated in Steroid-Resistance Among Asthmatics
DENVER — A series of experiments by researchers at National Jewish Health have implicated the remains of bacterial cell walls in the development of resistance to corticosteroids, the main controller medication for asthma. Steroid-resistance is a major management problem in asthma and accounts for a disproportionate amount of healthcare costs.
The source of the bacterial remains, known as endotoxin, is unclear. However, recent research at National Jewish Health indicates that asthma patients can have bacterial infections, which could produce significant amounts of endotoxin. Dogs are another suspected source of the endotoxin. The researchers, led by National Jewish Health Professor of Pediatrics Donald Leung, MD, PhD, published their findings in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
"Steroid-resistance disables the most effective medication for the control of asthma," said Elena Goleva, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at National Jewish Health and lead author of the paper. "Our findings clearly point to endotoxin as a contributor to this difficult-to-manage condition. They have launched us to a promising new avenue of research we hope can improve patients' response to steroids, leading to better control of their disease."
The research team reported three distinct findings supporting a role for endotoxin in the development of steroid-resistance. First, they evaluated gene expression in cells taken from the lungs of 10 steroid-resistant asthma patients and eight patients with steroid-sensitive asthma. These experiments indicated that a distinct set of genes, which are associated with the recognition of endotoxin, and with an immune response to bacterial products were expressed at higher levels in steroid-resistant asthma patients.
Second, steroid-resistant asthma patients had on average over five times more endotoxin in their lung fluid than did steroid-sensitive patients.
Third, the researchers tested how prolonged exposure to endotoxin altered the response of white-blood cells to steroids. Immune-system cells taken from six non-asthmatic people showed a significantly reduced response to steroids after they had been incubated for 24 hours with the steroid dexamethasone.
"Taken together, these findings provide strong evidence for the role of endotoxin in steroid-resistance," said Dr. Leung. "Our challenge now is to determine the source of the endotoxin, confirm its role in steroid-resistance, and find ways to reduce endotoxin exposure or counter its negative effects."
Co-author Richard Martin, MD, Chair of Medicine at National Jewish Health, has previously published findings indicating that many chronic asthma patients have low-level bacterial infections that may make their asthma worse. He is currently leading a $7.5 million study of the effects of the bacteria mycoplasma on asthma. Such bacteria could be the source of endotoxin.
Other researchers also recently reported that presence of dogs, but not cats, increases the amount of endotoxin in the home. Following up on this, Dr. Leung and his colleagues found that 66 percent of 18 patients with steroid-resistant asthma lived with at least one dog, compared to 38 percent of patients with steroid-sensitive asthma.


The area of the North Wales Borderlands, which includes Wrexham, Flintshire and Denbighshire, provides some of the most ideal settings for taking those long winter Welsh walks.
Offering some breath taking landscape scenery and plenty of historical sites, the area is one that should certainly be explored, giving you the opportunity to take in some healthy fresh air at the same time.
The countryside surrounding Wrexham provides plenty of opportunities for a variety of fascinating winter walks through the country parks and woodlands. The country parks include Stryt Las and Alyn Waters, the former noted for its population of great crested newts and the latter for its variety of stunning sculptures.
In fact, there are a total of nine glorious country parks in the area of Wrexham and other areas that include both charming beauty spots and places of historical interest. Indeed, planned walks have been going on in Wrexham for some time.
Known as 'Walkabout Wrexham', the walks include those that spread for two or three miles and can be completed in less than three hours in addition to some more challenging routes.
One such Wrexham walk that shouldn't be missed is the one that includes Erddig. Known as 'the jewel in the crown of Welsh country houses', this 18th century house offers a fascinating look at the 'upstairs-downstairs' lifestyle of a true home of the gentry.
Fine furniture and interior decor, textiles and historical portraits furnish the interior, whilst the exterior includes stables, mills and sawmills all offset by the glorious landscaped gardens and parkland.
The area of Flintshire is no less impressive for diverse landscapes and areas of interest. Whilst the area boasts over 30 planned routes, one of the highlights includes the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an area of moorland that is notable for its challenging climbs leading to wild lands of breath taking panoramic views.
For something less strenuous, the areas of Whitford, Caergwrle and Lanasa provide the perfect setting for more leisurely riverside and farmland winter walks. Alternatively, walking through the areas of Greenfield, Buckley and Halkyn will unearth a treasure trove of fascinating historical heritage.
However, the highlight of this area remains the area of Talacre that includes one of the most popular beach settings around. Here, the golden sands, forever washed over by the beautiful, clear waters of the Irish Sea, stretch for miles. Indeed, Talacre beach is the ideal winter walk location, whatever the weather.
Don't forget to look out for a special feature of the walk, the stainless steel statue that represents the ghost said to haunt the site.
Another area that is perfect for some on-foot exploration is the area of Denbighshire. Here, there is something for everyone including the fabulous Eglwyseg Escarpment in the Dee Valley and the glorious Vale of Clwyd. The market town of Denbigh itself remains dominated by the castle, built in 1282 and the town also features a local museum (the former County Hall), an art gallery and library.
However, perhaps the ultimate location of this area is Llangollen canal. Situated on the River Dee, this picturesque little town is overlooked by the striking remains of Castell Dinas Bran. Indeed, this area remains one of the most popular haunts for tourists looking for some great walks.
The reasons for this popularity include the fascination held for the home of two aristocratic ladies, Plas Newydd, who eloped here in the 18th century from their Irish homelands. Further highlights include the glorious Horseshoe Pass, Eliseg's Pillar and Valle Crucis Abbey. Finally, don't miss out on taking a tour on the town's fascinating steam railway.

What Ski Accommodation Is Right For You?
So here, to get you started, I have created this blog to help you understand what ski accommodation will best suit your needs…or if you are feeling a bit lazy, get in touch with one of our holiday experts and they can do all the hard work for you! Just don't tell them I said that.
A catered ski chalet is the ideal choice for those who are looking for a home from home experience. You can forget about the hassle of shopping, cooking, cleaning and solely focus on spending more time on the slopes and enjoying the apres ski! All food and wine included in the price – so it actually works out to be good value for money.
All chalet hosts will of completed a catering course prior to working in resort to ensure their catering skills are up to a quality level. You will expect to enjoy hearty home-cooked food fit for anyone after a hard day on the slopes. Menus will be varied and may include local dishes as well as the more traditional UK favourites such as roasts joints, lasagna or casseroles. A selection of quality wines will also be available which will be three reds and white wines, a rose wine and champagne on arrival.
Food is plentiful on a catered chalet holiday so do not expect to lose weight and enjoy the comfort meals and wine provided… you are on holiday.
Prices vary throughout the winter, depending on if you are going during school holidays or not. If you don't have to stick to those dates, great! You will get a much better rates in early December, January and end of March.
The big five resorts are always a win! Here is some key information on each resort in Courchevel, Meribel, St Anton, Val d'Isere and Verbier … or call +44 (0)20 8877 8888 for more assistance.
Catered chalets is ideal for groups of people who are looking to kick back and relax when it comes to the cooking, cleaning and focusing their time and energy on the slopes and in the bars.
If you are a couple in a new relationship and looking to just have each other company, then I would recommend a Hotel as it give you the privacy you need at the right value.
A self catered chalet means you can take control of when and what you eat giving you the ultimate flexibility of holiday cuisine. You can either reduce the cost of your holiday, or tailor it just the way you want it. When you choose a self catered chalet, can still get assistance and resort information of the resort managers.
Morning chalet cleaning in communal areas and bathrooms (not washing up).
Choice to add catered meals on an ad hoc basis during your stay for a set price per person.
Chalet packs with essentials such as milk, bread, juice, tea and more.
Just like a catered chalet the prices will vary throughout the winter, depending on if you are going during peak times. If you are happy eating out and shopping for your own food, this can work out best value for money. But if you know your group eats and drinks a lot then I might be worth considering the catered option.
Again, the big five resorts are always offering great snow and entertainment in resort! Here is some key information on each resort in Courchevel, Meribel, St Anton, Val d'Isere and Verbier .
Families and small groups who enjoy cooking and each others company.
It's quite simple, it's an apartment where you cater for yourself. Back in the 60's/70's ski apartments (mainly the French resorts) had a bad reputation of being small and cramped rooms. But this image has changed to the huge investments across the alps into upgrading the buildings. Powder White has just increased 42 NEW Residences across 20 resorts, including 11 new locations.
Games Rooms, Gyms, Spas and Apres Bars.
At the moment you can get up to 20% off ski apartments, this deal is running until the end of September. This tends to be the cheapest option for a skiing holiday if you don't mind not venturing out to the best restaurants in the resort. With all the facilities to cook with, it is great way to enjoy your own home cooked meals and each others company after a long day skiing. A big benefit you will find is that the majority of the self catered residences in ski resorts offer doorstep skiing and a great solution to get on the slopes without breaking the bank… See it as luxury on a budget.
Apartments have been very popular with small groups and families who want to be close to the slopes and have have their own space. With a variety of apartments on offer, there really is something for everyone. If you are looking to save money and to take full advantage of the resort offerings such as 2* Michelin starred restaurants in Val Thorens, then this is for you!
Ski Hotels are simply a hotel in the mountain… You book a ski holiday hotel on a room by room basis, and depending on what the hotel offer, you can choose the board basis – either Bed and Breakfast / Half Board / Room Only. Depending on the Star Rating of the hotel, the décor and service can range from basic (2*) to utterly luxurious (5*) and there is a very strong correlation with how much you will pay.
The restaurants within the hotels are of a very good standard, with a lot of Hotels in the Alps boasting Michelin stars, and in the 5* hotels there is a certain degree of formality – which may or may not suit your holiday. If you are looking for a professional service, great quality food, and a more 'formal' experience, then a hotel holiday is for you.
Look out for hotel deals as they normally offer 7 nights for the price of 6 or give you a free meal with a booking. If you want to find these exclusive hotel deals, Powder White social platforms, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter will keep you and your friends in the 'snow'.
There is a huge range of hotels across the Alps and North America. Here are some 3-5* hotels in France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, America and Canada. If you are looking for cultural and traditional hotels, Austria and Switzerland are the best, if you want big modern hotels, France is the one for you. However, if you want to spice it up and try something different with great powder, Canada is highly recommended.
Great for couples who want romance and privacy in the snow and also for corporate groups since many of the hotels have conference facilities. Also hotels have seen a growing number of small families booking, since the family rooms are increasing in size and offering better room arrangements.
So there you go. I hope it has helped you to understand what ski accommodation you are looking for, however, if you are still a bit unsure, get in contact with one of our holiday experts or simply search our website below!

Hypatius (Grieks: Ὑπάτιος, ? - 532) was een Byzantijnse edelman van keizerlijke afkomst die bevelhebber was in het oosten van het rijk onder keizer Justinus I en die tijdens het Nika-oproer door de menigte werd verkozen tot basileus (keizer) in plaats van Justinianus I.

Leven
Hypatius was de neef van keizer Anastasius I, die regeerde vóór Justinus en was door zijn huwelijk verbonden met de adellijke Anicii-clan, waardoor hij een belangrijke claim kon leggen op het keizerlijk diadeem. Hypatius had echter niet zulke hoge ambities. Hij en de andere neven van Anastasius I werden goed behandeld door zowel Justinus als zijn opvolger Justinianus I.

Op het hoogtepunt van de Nika-opstand werden Hypatius en zijn broers Pompeius en Probus (een andere neef van Anastasius I) gezien als de belangrijkste kandidaten voor de keizerlijke troon. Toen duidelijk werd dat de menigte een nieuwe keizer wilde, ontvluchtte Probus de stad en zochten Hypatius en Pompeius samen met de rest van de Byzantijnse Senaat onderdak in het keizerlijk paleis. Ze wilden niet meedoen aan de opstand uit angst te weinig steun te krijgen onder de bevolking.

Justinianus vreesde echter verraad en gooide de Senaat het paleis uit waardoor de beide broers in handen van de menigte werden gedreven. Hypatius werd, ondanks pogingen van zijn vrouw om dit te voorkomen, weggesleept uit zijn huis en vervolgens in het Hippodroom door de joelende menigte tot keizer uitgeroepen. Hypatius lijkt daarop zijn aanvankelijke aarzeling te hebben overwonnen en begon daarop zijn rol als keizer aan te nemen.

De opstand werd echter al snel met succes (en met veel bloedvergieten) onderdrukt door de keizerlijke garde waarbij Hypatius werd gevangengenomen door de mannen van Justinianus. Justinianus zou daarbij het leven van Hypatius hebben willen sparen, maar zijn vrouw Theodora drong er bij hem op aan om de bestraffing uit te voeren, waarop de onvrijwillige opstandeling, samen met zijn broer Pompeius, werd geëxecuteerd. Hun lichamen werden in zee geworpen.
