In the beginning, the world didn't extend outside my field of view.
an estuary, yours was a garden hidden by trees.
seed—I could tame myself by returning to logic.
as if it it could bring me warmth.

Bowhay History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Bowhay was brought to England in the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Bowhay family lived in Staffordshire, where they were lords of the manor Colton.
Early Origins of the Bowhay family
The surname Bowhay was first found in Staffordshire where they were Lords of the Manor of Colton from very ancient times. At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book in 1086, a survey initiated by Duke William of Normandy after his conquest of England at Hastings in 1066, the village of Colton was held by Ascelin from tenant-in-chief Earl Roger. Conjecturally the Boughies are descended from this Norman noble. In similar speculations, some say there is a relationship between the early Bougheys and the great Lords Bohun, one of the signers of the Magna Carta and that the surname Boughey, Buffey, or Boffey was interchangeable with Bohun.
More recently, the parish of Forton in Staffordshire is home to a very distinguished branch of the this ancient family. "Aqualate Hall is a magnificent mansion, on the south side of a fine lake more than a mile in length, and half a mile in breadth, called Aqualate Meer; the house is surrounded by a spacious park and pleasure-grounds, adorned with plantations and some of the finest oak-trees in the county. This is the seat of Sir Thomas Fletcher Fenton Boughey, Bart., who is lord of the manor, and owner of nearly the whole parish." [1]

Bowhay Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence in the eras before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate regularly changed the spellings of their names as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Bowhay have been found, including Boughey, Buffie, Boffey, Buffey, Boughie, Boffie, Boghey and many more.
Early Notables of the Bowhay family (pre 1700)
Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Humphrey de Boghey of Staffordshire; and Geoffrey Bowhay of Bowhay (in the parish of Exminster, Devon.) His daughter, the heiress of his estates married Richard Denys (died 1442.) In 1417, Orleigh was occupied...

Bowhay migration to the United States +
For many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of Ireland, Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Bowhay were among those contributors:

One of the very large "street trees" on Shrewsbury Drive was suspected of dying. Davey Tree ordered lab work and it was determined that the tested positive for a particular fungus causing it to lose all of its leaves. However an arborist recommended the tree not be felled since it still showed signs of being alive albeit ill. It should leaf out just fine in the spring.
A complaint was made regarding lawn damage to a section of residential property caused by a riding mower used by Ballymeade's grass cutting service. Following a discussion by board members, the following conclusions were drawn. 1) There was no easement wide enough for riding mowers to access this portion of common land without crossing a resident's property line. 2) Said common land can be considered part of the neighborhood wetlands as it is prone to standing water after rain. In addition, it borders other parts of the neighborhood wetlands. Based on this, it was agreed to discontinue mowing this area of common land indefinitely (and save money too).
Snow removal from common area sidewalks will continue but with the following changes.
1) Sidewalks will be shoveled only if there is more than 3 inches of accumulated snow.
2) Common areas with sidewalks running along both sides of a street will only have one sidewalk shoveled rather than sidewalks on both sides of the street.

History repeats itself, perhaps as a tragedy for Chandrababu Naidu who is in New Delhi marketing his version of the Andhra story. Two decades ago Naidu's presence in New Delhi was a national political event as he was the cynosure of national politics both as convener of a united front as well as a vital life support for the Atal Bihari Vajpayee regime.
The BJP spokespersons were quick to point out the latest changes in the stature of the political life of the TDP supremo. But, this change is not a creation of Naidu himself.
Five factors seem to have contributed to this. First, the BJP's consolidation leading to it assuming office on its own, second, the emergence of many more regional parties and satraps, third, the bifurcation of the state resulting in reduced representation for Andhra Pradesh in the Lok Sabha, fourth, the presence of competing regional players in the state so that national parties can pick and choose, and finally the fifth, which is Naidu losing credibility as he frequently shifted his loyalties.
Politics is not just a function of personalities alone. LK Advani who was the architect of BJP's growth story in its early phase has now become a less prominent entity as the saffron party enters its sunlit era. The reason was simple. Advani who nursed prime ministerial ambitions opposed the elevation of Narendra Modi as the war-horse of BJP failed to realise that the Modi era has begun in saffron politics.
Leaders are important in parties and politics. But, they alone cannot dictate the course of history. This is evident in the transition of Chandrababu Naidu. He once faced survival questions as Jaganmohan Reddy's YSR Congress was surging in the politics of the undivided state. But, within two years, Naidu could execute a turn around consummately by effectively using the bifurcation narrative.
But, though he came out of hibernation to emerge victorious in the truncated state of Andhra Pradesh, it was not without collateral damage for the seasoned politician.
The state has only 25 seats in the Lok Sabha while undivided Andhra Pradesh had 42 seats. Besides, the cut-throat competition due to the presence of competing regional players gives no scope for Naidu to monopolise the mandate in the state.
Politics is, obviously, the story of numbers whether one likes it or not. The regional satraps in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu are now more powerful than Telugu leaders.
Meanwhile, the presence of two competing regional players gives the national parties an option to choose their regional ally. The regional parties never show any consistency in terms of their political stance towards the national parties. This is evident from the fact that Chandrababu Naidu has played his politics of Left and right as he allied with the communists and the saffron party at different intervals.
On the contrary, during his heyday, Naidu was the principal opponent of Congress in the state and was the darling of non-Congress parties like BJP during the first NDA regime and even the non-Congress and non-BJP parties. But, in today's Andhra Pradesh, both the national parties have become more or less irrelevant.
As Chandrababu Naidu could make and break alliances, his credibility as a trusted ally took a serious beating. Narendra Modi was, thus, unsure of Naidu's support right from the beginning and BJP was always in the search of an alternate ally in the form of YSR Congress.
Even BJP tried to woo Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena. Pawan himself said that BJP national president Amit Shah has requested him to merge his party with BJP and the actor turned politician has rejected the request.
The last two to three decades have seen the emergence and consolidation of many regional parties across the nation. The self-disruptive disintegration of the Janata experiment and later Janata Dal gave rise to many parties. The national political spectrum is now full of several regional satraps and Chandrababu Naidu is one among them thus losing his profile as the strong man of regional politics.
The elevation of Mamata Banerjee and attempts by K Chandrasekhar Rao, etc, reveal this trend of the presence of multiple regional parties. Finally, since 2004, Indian politics is witnessing a revival of national parties. Congress gained strength in 2004 and subsequently in 2009 elections leading to lesser vulnerability to pulls and pressures of regional allies.
This revival of national parties reached culmination with the rise of Modi-led BJP that could win a popular mandate on its own though it still shares power as part of its politics of accommodating allies.
Despite the growing noise of regional parties, the fact is that at least BJP is not unduly worried about any threats from its allies especially the TDP. Thus, Chandrababu Naidu's Delhi voyage is limited to the state-specific narrative rather than national political manoeuvring.

Now that the (chalk) dust has cleared the final total raised from the recent Wildstone Colours4Kids Run has been pegged at $17,115.
That figure along with the number of people who participated is up substantially from the year before when 710 registered and the amount raised was $15,000, which was $4,500 more than the previous year and which will now go to the OSNS Child and Youth Development Centre.
The true impact of the turnout didn't register with Willms until she got on the back of the truck to talk to the crowd.
And about the increasing popularity and success of the event Willms said: "I think it's a cause (OSNS) that resonates with people but the event itself is so well aligned with family and good will.
She also visited some local elementary schools to promote the event.
Joining the crowds of people doing the colourful run was Cody Kearsley who plays Moose Mason on the Netflix series Riverdale who hung around for some photos and autographs afterwards.
Having grown up in Oliver, Kearsley at one time attended OSNS, saying prior to the event he was happy to be able to give back.
"I talked to him afterwards and he said he had a good time," said Julie Read, of Wildstone. "We're thrilled with the results of the run and we're continually getting more each year and that money is going to help a lot of kids, we're couldn't be happier.
Willms also expressed her appreciation to Wildstone for the kind of support it provides.

Q: How to add iOS & fav icons to the theme? I want to add iOs, Android and favourite icons to the website. Generally I udnerstand how they shold be implomented: link files in the head section and you good to go, however there are many lines (for both devices and favico makes more than 10), so I do not know how to add them correctly:

*

*Somehow enqueue them in the functions.php?

*Some people on the internet mention creating a Site-Specific Snippets Plugin?

*Use some sort of plugin for that (not big fan of this idea)?

*Just add the links to header.php (that is what codex suggests).

Just in case, the code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="/apple-touch-icon-76x76.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png" />

A: Hook into wp_head in your functions.php file.
add_action('wp_head', 'add_your_stuff');
function add_your_stuff() {
    ?>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon-76x76.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png" />
    <?php
}

A: I would not recommend hard-coding them into either the header.php template file or functions.php. The reason is that they are then tied into your theme, and if you switch themes you will lose them.
Option 3 I tend to stay away from, because the third-party plugins tend to bring along a lot of extra bloat.
My advice would be to go with option 2, as it is lightweight, and is not tied into the theme. If you switch themes, your custom link tags will still be intact.

Home Economy What the Covid, Johnson Government "Plan B" Provides
What the Covid, Johnson Government "Plan B" Provides
Rex Rose
listen to the audio version of the article
Around 50,000 cases, 1,000 hospitalizations and 135 deaths in a day. These are alarming figures recorded by British authorities in the last 7 days. Fortunately, this is a far cry from the peaks of last January, when more than a thousand victims a day and 4,000 were hospitalized. But the fact that the situation ahead of the winter season worries Boris Johnson's government.
That is why many experts and the opposition Labor Party itself are calling for the adoption of new restrictive measures. The so-called "Plan B" that's been in Downing Street's drawer since last September but which the Premier doesn't want out yet, prefers to select a "Plan A" based on sweep tests and vaccinations. The Weekly Observer wrote that last Friday the Health Protection Agency surveyed local officials to assess the degree of their support for the immediate implementation of Plan B.
today's status
There are currently no specific restrictions nationally in the UK. With no masks, no social distancing obligatory since July 19, stadiums and arenas have reopened to full capacity, in short, everything is as if covid did not exist, or almost. However, there are significant differences between England, Scotland, and Wales. England has the most liberal regime: masks are mandatory only in hospitals and the RSA, in closed or crowded places only a recommendation but no legal impediment. There is no legal obligation to present the Green Pass at public events such as matches or shows, organizers may only request it for individual events.
See also 2,231 more COVID-19 cases, 10 deaths were reported Monday in Utah
Scotland and Wales tough
Strict rules in Scotland, where the Green Pass is binding for entry to pubs, matches or shows from 1 October. The use of masks is mandatory in most closed places. Similar measures are in place in Wales, where they started on 11 October.
What does "Plan B" offer?
So what is the Plan B that Johnson might decide to launch if the pandemic intensifies? If the national health system finds itself in a state of "unbearable pressure" the plan is ready to begin. Its pillars are: the compulsion to wear a mask in certain indoor locations, on modes of transport, or in crowded situations; the possibility of introducing the obligation of a vaccination passport, at least for access to discos or large mass events (concerts, sporting events); Encouraging citizens to work from home; Launch a communication campaign that invites people to exercise extreme caution in their behavior.

Two years after Brexit: how are you, Britain? -panorama


Browsing the South Loop open houses this week and there were a lot of fun choices to look at (particularly a $1.25 million 4 bedroom at 1476 S. Prairie or a $425 thousand 2 bedroom penthouse at 1525 S. Michigan), but we decided on one of our favorite buildings in the Sloop - 888 S. Michigan.
For those still with us, this unit is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit listed at $514,500. The unit also comes with a parking spot and apparently valet.
If this unit seems interesting, head on over to 888 S. Michigan today (8/8) from noon to 2pm.

What does the term "Excess" in my car insurance policy means?
Only Comprehensive Insurance policy comes with an excess. Excess is the amount of money you have to co-share when a claim on your policy occurs. Regardless of the claim amount, it is usually in a range of S$500 to S$1,500 for most make and model saloon cars below 3,000cc.
Excess is usually determined by the car's engine capacity (the higher the engine capacity, the higher the excess amount will be). Exotic cars, coupe, cabriolet, sports engine and such may warrant an excess higher than S$1,500.
Young (below age of 30 years), inexperienced (below 2 years' driving experience) and old (above age 65 years) drivers will attract an excess above S$1,500.
Notwithstanding the above, as long as you observe road safety at all times and not involved in an accident, there is no need to pay for any of the excess stated in your policy if a claim is not necessary.

Doctors Deny Lesbian Artificial Insemination
California Supreme Court to hear sexual-orientation discrimination case today.
By SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES
May 28, 2008 — -- California's high court on Monday barred doctors from withholding medical care to gays and lesbians based on religious beliefs, ruling that state law prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination extends to the medical profession.
The ruling was unanimous, a contrast to the state Supreme Court's 4-3 schism in May legalizing gay marriage.
Justice Joyce Kennard wrote in the ruling that two Christian fertility doctors who refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian have neither a free speech right nor a religious exemption from the state's law, which "imposes on business establishments certain antidiscrimination obligations."
Guadalupe Benitez, now 36, had maintained that the California medical clinic that was treating her polycystic ovary syndrome had "dumped" her when she asked for artificial insemination.
In 1999, after a year of surgeries and hormone treatments — all covered by insurance — Benitez was finally ready to get pregnant. But at the crucial moment, her doctor refused to do the procedure for "religious" reasons.
Benitez is a lesbian and sued her doctors under California's civil rights laws, charging that they discriminated against her because of her sexual orientation. Today, the state Supreme Court will consider whether a doctor can invoke his faith to refuse a patient treatment.
"For me this is a case about doing the right thing and being fair," Benitez told ABCNEWS.com. "Not discriminating against people and doctors not playing the role of God, saying because you are gay, you are not worthy of having a child or a family.
"I did it not only for me, my partner and my children but for other people coming after me, so they don't have to go through the humiliation and frustration and abandonment as a patient," she said.
Religious, Gay Organizations Eyed Case
The case drew more than 40 friends of the court briefs from a wide variety of religious organizations, medical groups and gay civil rights organizations.
The American Civil Rights Union supported the Christian doctors, siding with the Islamic Medical Association of North America, the Christian Medical & Dental Associations and anti-abortion groups.
The California Medical Association reversed its early support of the Christian doctors after receiving a barrage of criticism from the gay rights community, joining health care provider Kaiser Foundation Health Plan to oppose the Christian doctors.
The American Civil Liberties Union, California Attorney General Jerry Brown, the National Health Law Program and the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association filed papers backing Benitez.
Benitez sued The North Coast Women's Care Medical Group of San Diego, which had an exclusive contract with her health insurance plan. Also named in the suit were two of the clinic's doctors — Dr. Doug Fenton and Dr. Christine Brody — who lawyers say had a constitutional right to refuse a procedure that violated their religious beliefs.
The case jumped through a series of legal hoops. Benitez initially filed her suit in 2000. The trial court ruled in her favor based on sexual-orientation discrimination, but the appellate court said North Coast's claim that they had been denied freedom of religion was legitimate.
"You can't opt out of the law because of your religious beliefs," said Jennifer Pizer, senior attorney for Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, a nonprofit that supports gay causes. "The laws have been in place for a long time. A business can't exclude you because you are gay."
"Doctors have considerable leeway in what procedures they provide," she told ABCNEWS.com. "But they can't pick and choose on the medically irrelevant characteristics of the patient."
Benitez, who is a medical assistant, and her partner, Joanne Clark, 49, have subsequently had three children by in-vitro fertilization at a San Diego fertility clinic — at their own cost, because they had to go "out-of-network" for their care.
As a result, the couple, who have been in a committed relationship for 18 years, said they were forced to pay for a repetition of all tests and hormone treatments. Today, they have a 6-year-old son and twin 2-year-old girls.
Their ordeal began in 1999, when Benitez was diagnosed with an ovarian condition that can cause infertility. She said North Coast "promised" one of the doctors would eventually perform artificial insemination, even though Brody specifically told them she would not do it on "lesbians."
"We had no where else to go," Clark said.
When the time came, the director of the clinic refused, "because the staff objected," said Clark, who stays at home with the children, while Benitez works as a medical assistant.
Benitez's lawyer, Pizer, compared their response to the civil rights era: "I don't treat black patients, but I will refer you to someone who will."
"It opened our eyes to discrimination," Clark said. "We knew how black people felt and didn't realize how deep it went and how on-guard it makes you."
According to North Coast lawyer Kenneth Pedroza, a "communication glitch" prevented the clinic's director, Dr. Doug Fenton, from performing the procedure. When it came time for insemination, Brody was away and had not left recent medical notes on the case for Fenton. The couple had initially requested using live sperm from a friend, rather than from a sperm bank, which was against clinic policy.
Just before going away, Brody had convinced the couple to use a sperm back, but that information had not been relayed to Fenton. The request for insemination was denied on those grounds, according to Pedroza.
Brody found a competent specialist for the couple at another clinic and even offered to pay the cost difference.

Why NOT getting into Oxbridge can make, not break, students
Lots of universities can offer students the same as Oxbridge - or better. Not getting in isn't a failure, says Shaun Fenton
10th January 2019, 12:41pm
Shaun Fenton
https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/why-not-getting-oxbridge-can-make-not-break-students
Anxious sixth-form students, and even more anxious parents, now know the outcome of their Oxford and Cambridge interviews.
Some of the best and brightest young people of their generation will hear that, for perhaps the first time in their life, they have "failed".
I applied to Oxford, failed, reapplied and was "lucky" second time around. As the first in my family to attend university, there is no doubt that attending Oxford changed my life chances and those of my family for generations to come.
A place won at Oxford or Cambridge is still, very much, a champagne moment in life.
But here's the thing. Our ancient universities are still world class, but so are others in the UK and beyond, and there are more routes to success now than ever before.
Some other universities have different and (whisper it) sometimes more relevant strengths and offer more innovative courses in computer science, media technologies, art and design, to name but a few - but with real strength in traditional areas of study such as the sciences, history and creative subjects. Aerospace engineering, software development and industrial sciences…the options are growing and the subject titles signal their employability factor.
Some students will take blue-chip degree apprenticeships where they learn, earn, acquire professional experience, get qualified and be debt free. This is an idea whose time is coming - and fast. At Reigate Grammar School, we have more parents attending briefings on degree apprenticeships than A-level subject choices. The spectre of their children being in debt for years to come is having a marked impact on parental attitudes to traditional degrees - "even" in the independent sector.
Others will head abroad to university, with Ivy League institutions such as Harvard and Yale proving the main draw. Many of the top names provide a level of financial support to students quite unlike anything available in the UK. And in mainland Europe, some Dutch, German and Nordic universities offer English-language teaching at a fraction of the cost of our £9,000 tuition fees.
Students who choose to study overseas benefit from a double-whammy of living in a new country as well as studying for a degree. What employer could fail to be impressed by such a display of enterprise and resilience in a young person?
But how to choose? The routes are many, but remember: the best option is the best fit for the individual young person.
And remember that personal qualities, what we sometimes call character, will always have a far bigger impact on life chances than A-level grades, university or degree class.
What of those that have "failed"?
It is true but perhaps a bit glib to say that they will learn that failure is part of life's journey and develops important qualities of character. I remember my personal feelings of doubt and sadness when I didn't get in to Oxford the first time around. And although I certainly didn't plan it, I think I appreciated the offer I received the second time around. (Thank you to David Lyndsay, my inspirational teacher at Haberdashers' Aske's School who helped me learn, but more importantly, to believe in myself.)
But we can be kinder than saying how good it is to learn from failure: while we help to celebrate the achievement of those who have succeeded, we can encourage, support and re-focus those who didn't. That is what David Lyndsay did for me and I still feel that I owe him a debt to this day. What he taught me about myself was, frankly, more important than anything I learned from the syllabus.
There is no doubt that among those who Oxbridge have opted to turn down are young people who will go on to become inspiring poets, ground-breaking scientists and engineers, a future prime minister or three, great authors and artists, doctors, architects and wealth creators.
You may know someone just like that: spare a thought for them.

Things are still growing in my main garden, but the vine garden is by far more exciting to me because it grows SO FAST. Here are this week's progress photos. It just so happened to be drizzling again when I was out there with my camera, so forgive the blurry pics.

Helping area students and their schools succeed is the goal of Project CLASS: Community Leaders Assisting Schools for Success.
Through the project, a neighborhood church or other organization teams up with a local business to "adopt" a nearby third-grade classroom in one of the Starkville or Oktibbeha County public schools. Volunteers are educated and equipped to directly support students, teachers, and principals in a number of ways. Core goals are to improve reading and math skills so students can perform at grade level by the end of third grade.
Teachers of classrooms that have been adopted consult periodically with the volunteers about the health and welfare of the students and about needs for additional support.
assist the students most in need by providing help of various kinds.
In some cases, volunteers handle noninstructional tasks so teachers can concentrate on their primary mission of educating students.
Over 140 volunteers have been trained to take part in the program and more volunteers are added to the rolls regularly. All third-grade classrooms in the Starkville and Oktibbeha County schools have been adopted, along with a number of fourth-grade classrooms in the Starkville School District. We hope to grow to eoncompass as many classrooms as possible with Project CLASS.
For more information or to enroll as a volunteer, call the Greater Starkville Development Partnership at (662) 323-3322.

GRIZZLY DISCOVERIES INC.
TSX-V: GZD | OTCQB: GZDIF | FWB: G6H
Canadian Exploration Company Focused on Developing Exploration Assets in British Columbia
Grizzly Discoveries Acquires Cobalt-Copper-Silver-Prospective Robocop Property in Southeastern British Columbia
EDMONTON, ALBERTA – May 16, 2018 -- Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSX-V: GZD; Frankfurt: G6H) ("Grizzly" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, five mineral claims in Southeastern BC pursuant to a Letter of Agreement announced on March 27, 2018.
The acquired claims, covering 9,891 acres and known as the Robocop Property, are located in southeastern British Columbia, approximately 45 kilometres (km) south of Fernie and 70 km southeast of Cranbrook, and immediately north of the Canada-USA border. The property is located east of Grizzly's Greenwood Property in southeastern British Columbia.
The arm's length vendors and the Company have signed a Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") dated May 11, 2018 whereby Grizzly acquires a 100% interest in the Robocop Property subject to a 3% net smelter royalty ("NSR") by issuing to the Vendors 2,000,004 units, with each unit consisting of one common share of Grizzly and one transferrable share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one further common share of GZD at an exercise price of $0.14 for a period of 3 years from the date of issuance.
The Robocop Property carries a 3% NSR in favour of certain of the vendors, and, under the terms of the Agreement, Grizzly has the right to purchase up to 2% of the NSR (down to 1% NSR) within two years after the delivery of a positive Feasibility Study for the Property, for the amount of $1,500,000.
The Agreement has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors and has been submitted to the TSX Venture Exchange for approval. Upon receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval, the Company intends to close the purchase agreement by issuing the units.
ABOUT THE ROBOCOP PROPERTY
Areas with significant historic cobalt-copper-silver (Co-Cu-Ag) in soil anomalies have been identified on the Robocop Property. Additionally, historic drilling during the 1990's (Teck Explorations Ltd.) and early 2000's (Ruby Red Resources) has yielded near surface grades of up to:
0.18% Co, 0.28% Cu, 4.1 grams per tonne (g/t) Ag over 1 m core length (Pighin, 2009), and
0.134% Co, 1.19% Cu and 33.8 g/t Ag over 1.23 m core length (Thomson, 1990)
for individual core samples. The Co-Cu-Ag mineralization is hosted in Sheppard Formation and is classified as Proterozoic sediment hosted mineralization. Grizzly believes that significant potential exists to expand the known extent of the known Co-Cu-Ag mineralization on the Property and further exploration is warranted. Grizzly is currently evaluating proposals for flying a helicopter airborne magnetic and conductivity survey, a first for the Robocop Property, to assist in identifying future drill targets, subject to financing.
ABOUT GRIZZLY DISCOVERIES INC.
Grizzly is a diversified Canadian mineral exploration company with its primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange with 59.2 million shares issued, focused on developing its precious metals properties in southeastern British Columbia, and significant Potash and Diamond assets in Alberta. The Company holds or has an interest in: over 180,000 acres of precious-base metal and cobalt properties in British Columbia; metallic and industrial mineral permits for potash totalling more than 60,000 acres along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, and more than 161,000 acres of properties which host diamondiferous kimberlites in the Buffalo Head Hills region of Alberta.
The technical content of this news release and the Company's technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Michael B. Dufresne, M. Sc., P. Geol., P.Geo., who is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The health industry is changing at a rapid pace, but healthcare providers aren't keeping up.
When it comes to the back-office functions of healthcare providers, they find that their systems are disconnected and inefficient – which is strange because tech in the health industry is improving real outcomes.
This is an industry where an enormous opportunity is opening up thanks to technology such as the Internet of Things, e-health, m-health and interconnected practices.
All of these things offer medical professionals remote, real-time access to in-depth patient health data.
This allows for better monitoring, remote diagnosis, quicker response times and more.
To understand the opportunity in the healthcare space, you need to understand the trends emerging thanks to tech.
Then, you need to be in a position to take advantage of them.
How will connected healthcare benefit business health professionals and their consumers?
Innovation and entrepreneurial activity in the Healthcare Technology sector is leading to rapid advancements and the delivery of major improvements in the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery.
Innovations include remote health monitoring, 3D printing, robots that operate, robots that swim, improved vision for the blind, exo-skeletons and improved data analytics.
The government hopes that the introduction of digitalised health records in the form of My Health Record will also unlock more efficiencies for businesses operating health system.
Meanwhile, mobile health is changing the game again.
It allows medical and health professionals to be supported by mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets and wearable devices.
mHealth is predicted to be a major disrupter in health care and has the potential to transform the face of health service delivery and could be used as a strategy for strengthening health systems.
Factors enabling this change include rapid advances in mobile technologies and applications, a rise in new opportunities for the integration of mobile health into existing eHealth services, and the continued growth in coverage of mobile cellular networks.
It's an exciting time, and the scale of the opportunity is huge.
Spending on health in Australia was $161.6 billion in 2014-15 with almost a tenth of Australian GDP currently spent on healthcare.
Healthcare is growing at double the pace of Australia's GDP and the local opportunities for technology innovation and growth are huge.
Without reform, the cost of healthcare will become unsustainable. Organisations will need to innovate and adapt, developing new service delivery models for patient care.
The opportunity is big, but health organisations aren't adapting to the change.
In some ways, they're confronting the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow with the organisational tools of yesterday.
I've been working with two large regional hospitals and other disability service providers to assist in the development of processes, systems and procedures for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) service provision, activity capture and associated billing.
The challenge has been to set up the system integration needed for this.
In my experience, major health services and smaller health or disability service providers often have a plethora of software systems for various functions.
The problem, however, is the lack the connectivity between these systems, precluding the efficient and secure transfer of information from one system to another.
It's like working inside a bubble, where there are other bubbles you can see but can't access.
What does the evolving health industry mean for businesses starting out?
Small business faces the same problems where systems sit in isolation from each other and do not enable informed, timely decision making.
Organisations wanting to take part in an increasingly sophisticated and technology-led healthcare system need to adapt themselves.
Connectivity between the systems used for accounting, budgeting and reporting, workforce and client management is essential to making informed business decisions which are based on real time information.
MYOB understands the importance of connected technology and can add real value to businesses that provide services to the health industry by streamlining and automating financial processes.
Connectivity which will improve productivity, gain real-time visibility and improve business decision making.
I've recommended the use of MYOB Add-on Solutions like Calxa for budgeting and reporting and easyemployer for workforce management.
I've encouraged our clients to adopt MYOB online accounting software and run their business in the cloud and invite their admin team, accountant or bookkeeper into their accounts to collaborate.

They are homemade. Four Homemade Cleaners This was easier than I thought it would be. One of Betsy's goals for the year was to ditch some of our standard cleaners that we use around the house and make them! Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about this project mainly because I wasn't sure that homemade cleaners would really get the job done. And my lovely wife is a bit of a neat freak so there's no way she would use something that didn't perform well. So a couple of weekends ago she went out and bought a few staple ingredients and some empty spray bottles and we spent a few minutes mixing up four different homemade cleaners that have since replaced 90% of the cleaners we use around the house.

Is Frank Gehry really the right person to revitalise the Los Angeles river?
The 51-mile concrete gutter housing the LA river – more famous as a dystopian film backdrop than a body of water – is finally due for a facelift. Should it be redesigned by locals who've campaigned for years – or by starchitect Gehry?
Great cities tend to grow from great rivers. Paris has the Seine, London has the Thames, New York has the Hudson. Los Angeles, meanwhile, has a 51-mile long cement gutter, a linear dumping ground so bleak that it's best known for providing a post-apocalyptic backdrop in Hollywood movies. In the land of film-lot fakery and pasteboard fantasies, it's no surprise that the vein of blue that snakes its way across the map of LA, optimistically labelled with the word "river", is nothing of the sort.
"Landscapes tell stories," director Wim Wenders once said, "and the Los Angeles river tells a story of violence and danger." The desolate concrete channel, which looks more like an abandoned freeway than a watercourse, has starred in everything from Grease and Terminator 2 to Transformers and The Italian Job, providing a relentless gulley for nail-biting chase scenes, a raw gauntlet of urban infrastructure at its most brutal. Remember a massive truck exploding in a gritty urban wasteland? That was probably filmed in the LA river. Lewis MacAdams, the 70-year-old poet and activist who founded Friends of the Los Angeles River (Folar) in 1985, once commissioned a montage of film scenes shot at the river. The result, he says, was "an unremitting catalogue of urban isolation and despair".
But the sprawling city that's capable of eternal reinvention on screen is now rewriting the script in real life. When you land at LAX airport, one of the first things you see is a billboard of the glowing mayor, Eric Garcetti, not sitting at his desk or posing with the Hollywood sign, but perched on a kayak surrounded by greenery – paddling down the LA river.

Q: Sending events and understanding user actions with embedded web chat I created a chat bot using the Microsoft Framework. I embedded the chat window into a local website. I want to send and receive events from the embedded web chat. I have found similar questions and tried to implement the techniques explained with no success.
I found this question which is very similar to mine but I could not get the desired outcome when I tried to run the sample code with my own credentials (Webchat Secret, App ID and Password).
Sending events from an embedded webchat
I used the more simple approach of having an index.html file, botchat.css and botchat.js only. (Code here: https://github.com/EricDahlvang/BackChannelEventTest/tree/master/TestStandalone)
The bot appeared on my HTML page and I could send messages to the bot. But the output from this is supposed to be the background color of the page changing according to the color input to the chat by the user - which was not happening.
There were no errors using Google Chromes developer tools. Although when I tried to run the same page in IE I received a 'Syntax Error' on the line below:
 botConnection.activity$
            .filter(activity => activity.type === "event" && activity.name === "changeBackground")

The web chat window did not appear when run in IE (only the text and button were visible).
Any help on sending and receiving events from the embedded web chat would be very much appreciated.

A: replace your this code
botConnection.activity$
.filter(activity => activity.type === "event" && activity.name === "changeBackground")
by
botConnection.activity$
        .subscribe(function (activity) {
            if (activity.type === "event" && activity.name === "changeBackground") {
                //write your code here
            }
        });

Missense mutations in PIK3CA are common in breast cancers. They mostly involve exons 9 and 20 which encode kinase and helical domains of the protein and may result in its activation. PIK3CA activating mutations were previously shown to predict lower pathologic complete response (pCR) in HER2-positive breast cancer cases undergoing neoadjuvant human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-targeting therapy. Hence, the present work was conducted to estimate the mutation frequency in PIK3CA in 51 HER2-positive patients by direct sequencing. Our results showed 8 out of 51 (15.7%) to harbor PIK3CA mutations in either exon 9 or 20, or both. Three patients had mutations in both exons 9 and 20. Seven (13.7%) possess missense mutations in exon 20 which changed the amino acid sequence of the protein (H1047R, M1040I, and G1049G). Only four cases harbored mutations in exon 9, changing the codon sequences (E545K E545A, and R524K). Taking the clinicopathological data to account, the mutation frequency was greater in ductal than lobular carcinomas, in grade II rather than III and in lymph node positive lesions, with a higher HER2 score and which are ER/PR negative. However, none of the correlations proved statistically significant. In conclusion, to the best of our knowledge, the PIK3CA mutation frequency in this study is the first report regarding HER2-positive breast cancer patients in Egypt. Hereby, we highlight a moderate frequency which could be useful in the future as a predictive marker for anti-HER2 therapy.

Whatever business you run, you will likely find yourself needing graphic design services. Everything from implementing consistent branding to creating flyers for advertising takes time and skill. Many business owners choose to take these tasks upon themselves along with managing the rest of their company. Free websites and online services such as Canva allow anyone to create graphics nowadays. But if you truly are serious about your business, it is worth hiring a professional graphic design agency. Here are a few ways that a creative design agency can add value to your business.
Good graphic designers are experts at what they do. Whether they've gone to design school or not, they've been in their industry for years and have accumulated the appropriate experience. They know exactly how to build and maintain your brand in a way that will appeal to your customers.
There is a lot of information available online about graphic design. You could certainly research it yourself, but many situations require you to learn from trial and error. For instance, you might not know how to set up work for print. You need to understand the difference between things like the many kinds of file types, colour modes, and layouts. If you don't set up your work files in the correct way, you could end up printing cards that are blurry or discoloured.
Professional graphic designers are knowledgeable about these kinds of technicalities. Therefore, it is typically best to leave these jobs up to them so that you dedicate your energy to running your business.
Hiring a design agency in Brisbane might not seem worth it when you believe that you can handle it yourself. Realistically, however, if you are not an expert in graphic design, your materials will likely come out mediocre. You'll spend a long time creating something that might not turn out that great anyways.
The time you invest in working on graphic design services could be time working on other things. Paying for a professional graphic designer will ensure that your brand's voice comes across clearly. It also gives you time to work on other projects, and everyone knows that time is money.
A good creative agency in Brisbane will be up to date on the latest trends in graphic design and can give your company an appealing, modern look. They will also to be able to deliver work that isn't affected by your personal ties to your company.
Good graphic designers will work with you. They'll take the time to learn about you and your company, and how you want it portrayed. They'll adapt your ideas in a way that's appropriate for your company's image.
Next time you think about doing your own graphic design work, consider these tips and reach out to a professional. Despite the initial investment, hiring a professional graphic design team will pay off big time in the long run.
As a company specializing in graphic design in Brisbane, we pride ourselves on these principles. Contact Soak Creative today to learn about how our team of expert brand builders can help you achieve your marketing goals!


Triangle Equities and the city are in dispute over a $35 million development in the South Bronx. That is delaying plans for the project and potentially threatening its future, the New York Daily News reported. The project encompasses the development of two buildings in the Hub shopping district. The structures will house retail, office space, a school and a supermarket atop two city-owned plots of land.
Citing the city's Economic Development Corp., the Daily News said Triangle is now demanding public subsidies and wants the Bloomberg administration to cut the price of the property by $4 million dollars — to $2.2 million from $6.2 million. Triangle was due to close on these plots in May, but asked for renegotiations instead.
Elysa Goldman, Triangle's development director, told the News the project is "still moving forward" and denied that the developer is waiting for a $4 million price cut. She said the actual sale price is still part of ongoing discussions and the impasse between the two sides will eventually calm down.


The information society. Open data. Participatory politics. Nowadays, when we talk about citizens' engagement, we must consider open data and open government. Measuring the quality of government institutions has always been one of the key elements of a democratic society. In order to evaluate government practices, citizens need to be, and kept, informed. This is the role of public opinion (or, at least, it should be). That is to say, initiating and then maintaining the process of public engagement through which citizens themselves assess their own political systems and then express their priorities while highlighting the system's shortcomings.
In this context, open data, as well as the level of satisfaction of citizens. Making governments more transparent, accountable and responsive through the means of open data allows the participation of civil society in policy evaluation and the adjustment of political agendas accordingly.
Firstly, what does open data mean? According to the Oxford Dictionary, open means "not closed, freely available, accessible, unrestricted". Open data and content can be freely used and shared by anyone for any purpose. At present, at an EU-level there are two big portals harvesting a big variety of data. The newest one is the European Data Portal, whose strategic objective is improving accessibility and shedding light on the benefits of open data. The European Data Portal was launched by the European Commission in February 2016, and provides access to 72 data catalogues in 34 countries (European Union member states, EEA, Switzerland and countries in the EU Neighbourhood Policy programme). Data resources are indexed by the European Commission from and domain-specific public data providers. When this article was written, at least 773,738 datasets were published on the portal.
The European Data Portal also harvests information from the European Union Open Data Portal; this portal gives citizens access to datasets from about 40 EU institutions and agencies. The European Union Open Data Portal, launched in 2012 and managed by the Publications Office of the European Union, is the single point of access to a growing range of data from the institutions and other bodies of the EU. By providing easy and free access to data, the portal aims to foster the transparency and accountability of EU bodies but also promotes the innovative use of this data. Moreover, the portal engages with the user community as it is possible to participate by giving feedback and suggesting datasets.
Making information more transparent and accessible can have a big impact on society. From an economic point of view, easier access to information, content and knowledge can contribute to the development of innovative services and to the creation of new business models. Economic benefits can hence translate into new job potential, new goods and services and increased efficiency of public services.
Just to have an idea, let us focus on two concrete examples, a Czech application called "LuckyMe" and a Polish one named "Warsaw Ninja". The first one lowers the risk of getting mugged or assaulted, reporting the situation in an actual location at an actual time. A quick look at a watch or a mobile phone shows the actual risk rate on a grade from 1 to 5. The risk rate is calculated from three data sources: data from ambulances, data from municipal police and data reported by users. The other one is an app for public transport users to share information about problems and delays en route. In every big city with a complicated public transport grid, citizens experience problems when trains or trams get stuck on the way. The app permits users to share all transport-related problems in real time allowing them to make informed commute decisions.
At the political level, increased transparency and accountability means an increased potential for access to information, civic participation and political awareness.
Perhaps this is not well known, but there are various opportunities to contribute to EU law-making as it evolves, from the drafting and enactment phases through to proposals for new laws and evaluations of how existing ones are performing. For instance, when developing policy and legislation, The idea of consulting citizens and stakeholders who have an interest in the development of EU policies and laws is part of the EU Commission's Better Regulation Policy. Public consultations are open to the public for a period of minimum 12 weeks by default.
Another interesting tool fostering debate and citizen engagement is the European citizens' initiative. Foreseen in the Lisbon Treaty, this initiative allows EU citizens to participate directly in the development of EU policies by calling on the European Commission to make a legislative proposal. To be considered by the Commission, an initiative must gather the support of at least one million EU citizens from at least seven member states.
Healthy democracies are the ones taking into consideration citizens' needs and suggestions. In this perspective, a good citizen is a well-informed citizen. Open data can hence represent an impactful resource to maintain EU (and especially the relationship with citizens) in a good shape.

fluXpad is the first sample sequencer that fully functions by simply drawing the sounds. In fluXpad it's super simple to record your own sounds, to create different pattern and to jam with them. fluXpad is a sample based groovebox/workstation with a highly original sequencer, where you "draw" your music, which leads to completely different results, when compared to a traditional sequencer. The y-axis of your canvas controls pitch, while the x-axis controls the sustain of your notes. Sounds familiar, but drawing on a canvas without any grid is a totally new experience. Of course it is possible to quantize your notes, or you can limit your note range to major or minor scales.
