Dental extractions in the irradiated head and neck patient; a retrospective analysis of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center protocols, criteria and end results
12/31/2003 Sulaiman F, Huryn JM et al. Journal of oral and Maxillofacial Surgery A conservative approach to dental extraction was accompanied by minimal osteoradionecrosis. This study reviewed the treatment of 1194 irradiated head and neck tumor patients who had been evaluated and treated in the dental service of this large New York hospital. Most tumors were in the larynx, base of tongue, nasopharynx, parotid, oral tongue, floor of mouth and maxillary sinus. Three quarters were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Dental extractions (two-thirds in posterior teeth) had been required in 187 patients aged 6 to 89 yrs. In about 10% of cases, antibiotics were given. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) was given to 7 patients. Only 4 teeth were extracted during radiotherapy, but 300 were removed before, and 647 afterwards. More teeth were in the radiation field (528) than outside it (423). Osteoradionecrosis developed in 4 patients who did not receive HBO. All 4 had SCC of the tongue or floor of the mouth. The authors discuss their protocols and procedures and advise conservative management of dental conditions in these patients. Source: Sulaiman F, Huryn JM et al.

Mortality rate among liver cancer patients on decline, says DOH
12/30/2003 Taiwan Central News Agency Mortality rates among sufferers of liver cancer, one of the leading causes of death for Taiwan people, seem to be on the decline, the nation's top health official said yesterday. Chen Chien-jen minister of the Department of Health (DOH), made the remarks after the DOH unveiled earlier that day its annual cancer registry report for 2000, the most recent statistics available. Chen said that in 2000, the liver cancer rate was 36.06 people in every 100,000, an increase rate of 20 percent between 1996 and 2000. As hepatitis is an important factor in the development of liver cancer, Chen said that the DOH would step up medication for chronic hepatitis B and C patients next year, in an attempt to effectively curb the spread of liver cancer. Chen also noted that although both the number of lung cancer patients and mortality rates in the United States have dropped because of pressure from anti-tobacco groups, cigarette production in the United States has not decreased accordingly. Instead, U.S. tobacco companies have simply increased their cigarette exports, Chen said, which is having an adverse effect on lung cancer control efforts in other countries. In Taiwan, excessive drinking, betel-nut chewing and smoking are all associated with oral cancer and cancer of the esophagus, and Chen said that the most effective way to prevent such cancers is to avoid alcohol, betel nuts and cigarettes. In addition, he went on, the ratio of Taiwan women suffering from lung cancer is high, [...]
Routine Dentist Exams Help to Spot Cancer
12/30/2003 Dayton, Ohio KFMB.COM, channel 8, Ohio When was the last time you saw your dentist? If you're like millions of Americans, it's been a while. In fact, about 40 percent of Americans admit that they will not visit a dentist at all this year. But by going to the dentist, you're not only taking good care of your teeth, you may actually be taking an important step in avoiding cancer. The everyday task of brushing her teeth has become a daily reminder of what Betty Sawyers has gone through. On three different occasions her dentist found pre-cancerous sores in her mouth during routine exams. "I really think that regular check ups are very, very important and fortunately, I've lived that. I'm not just saying it," said Betty. Had her dentist not found the problem, Betty may have developed oral cancer. And like many patients, she may never have known anything was wrong until it was too late. "That's a somewhat frightening thing about oral cancer is very frequently the early phases are not painful at all," said Dr. Susan Mallery. Dr. Mallery of Ohio State's James Cancer Hospital says that's where the dentist comes in. Her advice is to go to your dentist often and specifically ask them to check for signs of oral cancer. Be on the lookout for velvety white or red patches, and for sores that bleed easily or don't heal. While it's true that oral cancer strikes mostly older people, it can strike anyone. "We [...]
New 10-minute dynamic PET scan generates useful results for oncology
12/30/2003 Dr. Ludwig G. Strauss, Dr. Antonia Dimitrakopoulou-Strauss, and Dr. Uwe Haberkorn Journal of Nuclear Medicine Studies have shown that quantifying 18F-FDG kinetics with dynamic PET data can characterize many lesions more accurately than a single static measurement of uptake. The routine clinical use of dynamic PET, however, has been precluded by the long scanning time required. Now researchers in Germany say they have identified a modified, short acquisition protocol that generates more information than standard uptake values (SUVs) and accurately estimates 18F-FDG kinetics. The new protocol may be useful in evaluating a variety of cancer patients,according to Dr. Ludwig G. Strauss, Dr. Antonia Dimitrakopoulou-Strauss, and Dr. Uwe Haberkorn from the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. Among their suggested applications for short-protocol dynamic PET: detection or grading of soft-tissue sarcomas, differentiation of benign and malignant bone lesions, and assessment of therapy response in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma. The authors have spent years identifying the enhanced information offered by dynamic PET. With this latest study, they wrote, "A main aim was to reduce the number of frames for the data acquisition in order to achieve a protocol suitable for routine application. Our results showed that a short, 10-minute acquisition followed by a late static image 56ˆ60 minutes after tracer injection provided accurate data for estimating 18F-FDG influx and the parameters k1 (rate constant) and VB (vascular fraction)." The researchers based their conclusions on 151 dynamic datasets obtained from 60 patients referred for 18F-FDG PET for primary tumor diagnostics or [...]
Crusader with a cause
12/29/2003 Newport Beach Orange Coast Magazine The Oral Cancer Foundation and its founder Brian Hill appeared in the magazines first issue of 2004, one whose articles are dedicated to health issues. The article detailed Hill's battle with oral cancer and his formation of the foundation to help bring awareness to the disease. When asked about the article, Mr. Hill commented "that every opportunity to tell the oral cancer story is a valuable one, since such a large portion of the American population hears little of it, the risk factors for it, or the warning signs that they might actually have it. I am grateful to the publishers for considering OCF worthy of inclusion in its prestigious magazine. With it's large circulation, the potential to raise awareness within the ranks of its readership is high." This year alone oral cancer in the US will be newly diagnosed in over 30,000 individuals, and one person every hour of every day of the year will die from it. The foundation states that through early detection and public awareness, this extraordinarily high death rate can be drastically reduced.
Bid to cut Scots throat cancer deaths
12/28/2003 Scotland Newsquest Experts are to test the life-saving potential of a combination of aspirin with a stomach ulcer drug. Test centres are being set up in Glasgow's Western and Royal Infirmaries, Wishaw General Hospital and hospitals in Aberdeen and Dunfermline as part of a UK-wide drive to conquer one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. Around 5000 men who suffer from Barrett's oesophagus - the condition linked to oesophageal cancer - will take part. The precancerous condition can be caused by acid formation in the stomach. Previous studies have indicated aspirin reduces the number of cases of oesophageal cancer, but one of the drug's side-effects is an increased risk of stomach ulcers. Researchers will observe the effects of using aspirin and a drug that prevents acid formation called esomeprazole to treat Barrett's oesophagus. The number of Britons who have suffered oesophageal cancer has increased 12% over the last decade. Professor Janusz, based at the Digestive Diseases Centre at the University of Leicester, said: "Only a small proportion of those with Barrett's oesophagus will develop the cancer. "However, in the UK the number of those developing this cancer because of Barrett's oesophagus is very high compared to the rest of the western world - three to four times the level seen in Europe or the US. "By successfully treating Barrett's oesophagus, we could prevent up to half of cases of oesophageal cancer in this trial." The UK is at the centre of an explosion. We hope these drugs will [...]
Therapy improves disorder
12/28/2003 Florida Susan J. Park Sun-Sentinel Aida Paley, an 89-year-old Deerfield Beach resident, thought she would never be able to eat again. She suffered from a swallowing disorder that was a result of the radiation therapy she had received 54 years ago for throat cancer and affected her eating since age 84. Her condition only deteriorated after she suffered a small stroke in May, and her doctors didn't think there was any hope. She went through six weeks of throat therapy with no results, said her daughter, Beverly Hanson, a Sunrise resident. But then, Paley was introduced to Theresa Biber, a certified American Speech-Language-Hearing Association speech pathologist. Biber, who works in Weston, had been experimenting with neuromuscular electrical stimulation, a method borrowed from physical therapy for limbs, to help patients recover from their swallowing disorders. Biber incorporated the therapy with normal swallowing rehabilitation, which consists of throat exercises and head placement. After a couple of months of therapy sessions, Paley was able to eat soft foods again, and in November was able to enjoy her first chewable Thanksgiving dinner in almost four years. "Beverly and I had turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce," Paley said with a big smile. "It was just unbelievable." Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder, usually resulting from a stroke, head injury, progressive neuromuscular disorder or cancer. According to Oxford Research, almost one-third of patients in acute care and one-third of patients who have suffered from a stroke struggle with this illness as well. Despite dysphagia being so [...]
Popular Snuff Brands Have Lots of Nicotine: Study
12/23/2003 New York Nicotine & Tobacco Research The most popular brands of smokeless tobacco have the highest levels of the most easily absorbed form of nicotine, according to a new study. The three brands of moist snuff that have the largest market share also contain the highest levels of so-called unprotonated, or "free-base," nicotine, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, report. This form of nicotine is rapidly absorbed through the mouth. The speed of nicotine absorption has a major impact on the odds of becoming addicted, according to the study's authors, Drs. Patricia Richter and Francis W. Spierto. "Consumers need to know that smokeless tobacco products, including loose-leaf and moist snuff, are not safe alternatives to smoking," the authors state in the December issue of the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research. The researchers point out that in 2000 the U.S. surgeon general concluded that tobacco products should be not be any more harmful than necessary. "Regarding the health of consumers, and in light of the surgeon general's response, smokeless tobacco manufacturers should take steps to reduce the addictiveness of their products," Richter and Spierto conclude. Under a 1986 law, tobacco manufacturers must report to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services the amount of nicotine in their smokeless tobacco products. Because such information is considered a trade secret, however, it is not released to the public. But through a little bit of detective work, Richter and Spierto were able to determine how much nicotine [...]
No Charitable Thoughts for Celebrities Cashing In
12/15/2003 Vickie Odding Los Angeles Times My baby was only 20 months old when she was wheeled from Urgent Care into a hospital room, the IV trailing her as we maneuvered through the hallways. She had just been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I experienced what all parents experience when faced with such devastating news. I was shell-shocked, angry, confused, depressed and scared. About eight months after her diagnosis, I read about a walk to raise money for diabetes research. I threw on the sweats, strapped Emily into the jogger and walked with thousands of others around Lake Balboa. I did not really know why I was there, but it felt like the right thing to do. And a seed was planted. It is now five years later, and I have raised more than $30,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, I have given it my blood, sweat, and tears. And I do not say that lightly. I am a divorced mom with sole physical custody of a 4-year-old boy in addition to my 7-year-old daughter. I work full time as one of those underpaid English teachers. But I am not complaining. My only point is that every dollar counts. I devote much of the year to planning neighborhood fundraisers; I spend money on copying, postage, party paraphernalia and food; and I spend hours worrying and poring over details. I am unable to actually conduct scientific experiments to find a cure myself, so the least I can do is fund [...]
Survivin expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma
12/14/2003 Naples British Journal of Cancer Authors: L Lo Muzio1, G Pannone2, S Staibano2, M D Mignogna3, C Rubini4, M A Mariggiò5, M Procaccini1, F Ferrari1, G De Rosa2 and D C Altieri6 A series of 110 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) together with six lymph node and one distant metastatic lesions were analyzed for expression of survivin, a recent apoptosis inhibitor, by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. In total, 91 cases (82.7%) of carcinoma and all metastasis (seven cases, 100%) were positive for survivin expression, with weighted survivin scores ranging from 1 to 4. In contrast, normal oral epithelium did not express survivin. There was no significant correlation between survivin expression and age, sex, tumor size, the presence of lymph node and distant metastases. Survivin expression was increased in poorly differentiated tumors, even if differences were not statistically significant. In contrast, when analyzed for prognostic significance, patients with low survivin expression had statistically significant better survival rates than the group with high survivin expression (P<0.05). These data suggest that survivin expression may identify cases of oral SCC with more aggressive and invasive phenotype. 1 Institute of Dental Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ancona, Ancona, Italy 2 Department of Biomorphological and Functional Sciences, Pathology Unit, Faculty of Medicine, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy 3 Department of Dental Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy 4 Institute of Pathology, University of Ancona, Ancona, Italy 5 Department of Biomedical Sciences and Human Oncology ?

Pediatric telemedicine visits may increase antibiotic overprescribing.
"In recent years, the use of telemedicine for acute, primary care concerns has increased among children," said lead author Kristin Ray, M.D., M.S., pediatrician, Division of General Academic Pediatrics, UPMC Children's Hospital. "We know very little about the care children receive during these direct-to-consumer telemedicine visits, which occur with doctors outside of the child's usual pediatric office."
"Insurers are increasingly offering telemedicine - with 96% of large business insurance plans now offering coverage - and as a result, millions of children now have access, and our prior work found that use is rapidly increasing," added Ray, also assistant professor of pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
"As a general pediatrician, I'm interested in making care easier and less burdensome for families, and I think there are many technological innovations that aim to do this, but I think it also is important to make sure the quality of the care that children receive remains high," Ray said.

Coldrain provide a fiercesome start to a memorable night
O-East on December 8th was not only fired up for headliners Crossfaith, but also for supporting band Coldrain. The Nagoya band sent the temperature in the auditorium soaring during a brief but punchy 8-song set and limbered everyone up nicely for the headliners.
Opening with "To Be Alive" from "The Enemy Inside," fans were treated to the earlier form of Coldrain that tends to invite more "emo-rock" comparisons. Followed by tracks like "No Escape" and "Behind the Curtain" it's clear that Coldrain deal in clean, catchy choruses juxtaposed with vocalist Masato's agonized death growl.
"Six Feet Under" mixed more of that method with a little madness in a song that moved from quieter moments to dynamic guitar chugs and a solo from guitarist Y.K.C that sent a deluge of crowdsurfers cascading over the barriers. The chaos in the pit threw up a mist of heat that made even those sitting upstairs start to sweat.
As Masato chucked bottles of water out to the sweat-soaked crowd, Y.K.C. picked slowly through a tranquil and echoing opening guitar line which built into the powerful "The War Is On", a song which shows brilliantly how the band have developed their sound on their most recent album. It was definitely one of the stand-out songs of the set with mastery of the melodic choruses and muscular breakdowns.
Following this was a comparative battering from "Voiceless". With a bit more a swagger to it in comparison to the previous songs the band seemed to have settled into a groove, and bassist RxYxO certainly seemed to have got into the swing of things as he cheekily waggled his tongue at the crowd.
Finishing out the set Coldrain pulled out two of their most anthemic numbers – "Die Tomorrow" and "The Revelation". Masato stepped off the stage and onto the barrier for the final song and stood precariously balanced and screaming out the final lyrics, supported by a sea of hands that kept him in place as the crowd all pushed forward to get closer.
With their one man show "EVOLVE" coming up in January 2014 and then a stint about Europe with "Bullet For My Valentine", Coldrain are a great example of the brand of anthemic, post-hardcore bands that are coming out of Japan. Setting them apart from the others is their tendency towards the heavy, making for a kick-ass live show that promises to have them leaving a trail of converts across Europe in 2014.

Colombian Gold is a 100% pure sativa strain that is a classic Landrace strain from Santa Marta, Columbia. The THC level of Colombian Gold varies wildly based on where and how it's bred, but it usually falls within a moderate range, indicating that it is between 15-20% or so. Upon the onset of the high that comes with Colorado Bubba, you'll be hit with mental clarity that leaves you completely focused and happily uplifted. This feeling is powerful but not overwhelming, and does not come with the typical paranoia or anxiety that accompanies many heavy sativa strains. Rather, you'll feel giddy and giggly with energy and motivation to spare! Because of these potent sativa effects, Columbian Gold is said to be ideal for treating patients suffering from conditions such as muscle spasms, chronic pain, ADD/ADHD, and depression. Colombian Gold buds have arrowhead-shaped dense minty green nugs with a spattering of fine fiery orange hairs and a thick layer of frosty chunky trichomes and sticky sweet resin. Colombian Gold nugs have an infamous classic aroma of sweet lemon skunk and an equally delicious taste of sweet lemony skunk with a hint of tangy lime upon exhale.
One of my favorite wake up strains. Full clarity, energy and focus.

Home / Publications / For Your Information: Australian Privacy Law and Practice (ALRC Report 108) / 43. Other Private Sector Exemptions / Related bodies corporate
43.9 An act or practice is not an interference with privacy if it consists of the collection or disclosure of personal information by a body corporate from or to a 'related body corporate'.[13] The stated reason for this exemption is to 'recognise [the] commercial reality that, for many bodies corporate to continue to operate effectively, they need to be able to communicate with related bodies corporate'.[14]
43.10 The partial exemption for related bodies corporate does not apply in a range of circumstances, including:
the collection or disclosure of 'sensitive information';[15]
the collection of personal information from an entity that is exempt from the Privacy Act;[16]
where the company is a contractor under a Commonwealth contract and: the collection or disclosure of personal information from or to the related company is contrary to a contractual provision; or the collection of personal information is for the purpose of meeting an obligation under the contract and the disclosure is for direct marketing purposes;[17] and
if the acts and practices of the company: breach the tax file number (TFN) guidelines, or involve an unauthorised requirement or request for disclosure of an individual's TFN; contravene Part 2 of the Data-matching Program (Assistance and Tax) Act 1990 (Cth) or the data-matching guidelines made under that Act; constitute a breach of the guidelines under s 135AA of the National Health Act 1953 (Cth); or constitute a credit reporting infringement by a credit reporting agency or a credit provider.[18]
43.11 Before an organisation can rely on this exemption to disclose non-sensitive personal information to other related companies, it must take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual knows that the organisation has collected the information, the use that will be made of the information and the types of organisations to which the information is usually disclosed.[19] In addition, although related companies may share personal information, the handling of that information is still subject to the NPPs in other respects.[20] For example, each company within the group of related companies must use the information for the primary purpose for which it was originally collected, and may use the personal information for a secondary purpose only where that purpose is allowed by NPP 2.1.[21]
43.12 The way the exemption operates may be illustrated by the following example. A large furniture store collects an individual's credit card details to receive payment for a sofa, and the individual's name and address in order to deliver the sofa. The related body corporate exemption allows the furniture store to pass on the individual's name, address and credit card details to a related delivery company. The delivery company is allowed to collect the information from the furniture company without having to inform the individual that it has collected that information. The delivery company can use this personal information only for the purpose for which the furniture store collected it (ie, delivery of the sofa). It cannot use the information for an unrelated purpose.
43.13 The related bodies corporate exemption has been criticised as a potential loophole through which corporate groups could evade the coverage of the Privacy Act.[22] In its submissions to previous inquiries, Electronic Frontiers Australia submitted that the exemption enables large businesses intentionally to structure their affairs to take advantage of the exemption. In its view, individuals should not have to ask or attempt to investigate corporate structures to find out how far their personal information could be spread. Electronic Frontiers Australia submitted that the exemption should be removed and related bodies corporate treated as third parties.[23]
43.14 In submissions to this Inquiry, some stakeholders supported retaining the current exemption for related bodies corporate.[24] For example, Telstra submitted that the exemption is 'necessary for efficient and effective business practices'.[25]The Hobart Branch of the National Seniors Association Ltd also submitted that it needed to transfer personal information to related bodies, including between its national body and local branches.[26]
43.15 Other stakeholders have submitted, however, that the breadth of the exemption can result in uses of personal information which are contrary to the reasonable expectations of individuals.[27] The Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre, for example, noted that 'many corporate relationships are obscure and customers of one trading enterprise are often unaware of other ownership or control relationships'.[28] The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) submitted that organisations should inform individuals about related companies with which they regularly exchange information.[29]
43.16 Concerns also have been raised about the potential for the exemption to allow personal information to be used for direct marketing by related bodies corporate without an individual's knowledge or consent.[30] The ABA submitted, however, that these concerns do not relate to the related bodies corporate exemption—rather, they are about the use of personal information once it has been shared.[31]
43.17 The OPC also suggested that the Privacy Act should be amended to clarify that, where an organisation discloses personal information to a related body corporate in an overseas jurisdiction, that transfer will be subject to the 'Cross-Border Data Flows' principle in the model Unified Privacy Principles (UPPs).[32]
43.18 In the interest of business efficacy, companies that have a shared ownership or controlling interest should be able to share non-sensitive personal information. The partial exemption for related bodies corporate is subject to a number of limitations. First, it is confined to non-sensitive personal information. Secondly, the exemption does not apply to the collection of personal information from an entity that is exempt from compliance with the Privacy Act. In addition, before an organisation can disclose such information to other related companies, it must take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals know the types of organisations to which the information is usually disclosed. Finally, although related companies may share non-sensitive personal information, they must otherwise comply with all the other privacy principles in the handling of that information.
43.19 The above restrictions largely limit the application of the partial exemption for related bodies corporate to transfers of personal information within the reasonable expectations of individuals. The ALRC also makes a number of recommendations in this Report to improve the transparency of information handling practices, through the 'Openness' principle and the 'Notification' principle in the model UPPs.[33] These principles may require an organisation to inform individuals about related organisations with which they regularly exchange information.[34]
43.20 One of the main issues raised about the related bodies corporate exemption is the potential for personal information to be used by a related company for the purpose of direct marketing. In Chapter 26, the ALRC recommends that organisations should be subject to a 'Direct Marketing' principle, which sets out the circumstances in which an organisation may use or disclose personal information for the purpose of direct marketing. In particular, the recommended principle provides that, where the individual is not an existing customer[35] or is under 15 years of age: the individual must have consented to the direct marketing; or the organisation must demonstrate that it was impracticable to seek such consent.[36] The organisation also must advise the individual that he or she can opt out of any further direct marketing, and provide a simple and functional means by which the individual can unsubscribe.[37]
43.21 In Chapter 31, the ALRC recommends that s 13B of the Privacy Act should be amended to clarify that, if an organisation transfers personal information to a related body corporate outside Australia, the transfer will be subject to the 'Cross-Border Data Flows' principle.[38]
[13]Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) s 13B(1). Section 6(8) of the Privacy Act provides that 'the question whether bodies corporate are related to each other is determined in the manner in which that question is determined under the Corporations Act'. A 'related body corporate' is defined in s 50 of the Corporations Act to mean that where a body corporate is a holding company of another body corporate, a subsidiary of another body corporate, or a subsidiary of a holding company of another body corporate, the first mentioned body and the other body are related to each other.

Hola estoy queriendo armar un carousel como este ejemplo en boostraps 4 pero no me funciona. alguien sabe si en boostraps 4 se pueden seguir usando este tipo de carouseles??? porque copio el codigo tal cual al ejemplo y en el 3 anda, pero cuando vinculo hoja de estilo y script del 4 no funciona. Muy raro la verdad!

A: Como te decía para que el carousel funcione debes ir a la documentación de Bootstrap 4 y leer que estructura se debe seguir, he agregado las clases que Bootstrap requiere para que el carousel funcione.
veo que hay problemas con algunos estilos, imagino que es por lo mismo te recomiendo leer la documentación para ver los cambios, saludos.

N. Korea shows activity suggesting preparations for SLBM launch: CSIS
All News 09:35 September 06, 2020
SEOUL, Sept. 6 (Yonhap) -- Satellite imagery has shown activity at North Korea's main submarine shipyard in a possible sign that the communist nation could be preparing to test-fire a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), a U.S. think tank reported.
The primary indicator suggesting preparations for an SLBM launch is the presence of vessels at the North's Sinpo shipyard on the east coast, including one that resembles vessels previously used to tow the test stand barge out to sea, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Another indicator may be the presence of not one but two ROMEO-class submarines anchored within the bay of the submarine base on Mayang Island off the coast of Sinpo, the CSIS said in a report on its Beyond Parallel website, citing satellite imagery of the shipyard taken on Friday.
"These apparent launch preparations might indicate the highly speculated 'October surprise,' which would be consistent with Beyond Parallel historical data that shows heightened provocations around U.S. presidential election years," the report said.
An SLBM test has been considered one of the provocative acts that the North could undertake, along with an intercontinental ballistic missile launch. Some experts have warned that Pyongyang could carry out such provocations as an "October surprise" ahead of November's U.S. presidential election.
Nuclear negotiations between the North and the United States have been stalled since the second summit in Hanoi between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ended without an agreement in February last year.

I know, only a few articles in, so I don't really need a site search function. But you never know, I might actually keep writing (even if no-one is reading) and so I've been looking around for some solutions.
I've looked at a few, for example: Swish-e, and Sphider. Nothing really float my boat, until I had a look at the Zend Framework. It's another MVC based PHP framework, though it looks a little heavier than CodeIgniter. The documentation is not as good either, but it did have a Lucene library.
I found a way of incorporating a Zend framework class as a CodeIgniter library here by Fred Wu. Nice work Fred, thanks.
As Fred suggests, copy the Zend folder from the framework library to application/libraries/ in your CodeIgniter installation. I discovered that I only needed the Zend/Search folder, and the Zend/Exception.php file.
Continuing Fred's instructions, create a Zend.php library file with the code posted on his blog page. Now we can get started.
// This method should be authenticated, or removed once the index is created.
// TODO: Some sort of site spidering process to add the entire site to the index.
// TODO: Create an index method that contains a search form.
// Hardcoded search result example.
As you can see, I've noted a few TODO's. Might add a bit of jQuery action (because I'm worth it) in there to. Weekend coming up, so I'll expand on this next week.
what do i have to wrote in the code where it is the comment "ro do"?
The index method doesn't have to do much really, apart from load the view for this method.
The view will consist of a form to post your search term. This will post to your result method, which is currently hardcoded with the term 'Andrew'. You would change this to take the value from the form field.
Clear? If not, I'll amend the example.
Could you please post the content for Zend.php library file( CI ). As the link to Fred Wu site is down.
Thanks for coming up with this search article.
No problem, you can obtain it here. I don't know if he ever altered it, but this is the version of the code I use on my site.
will it crawl the whole domain going through each link and create the search content?
if that is the case then how can i generate the url link with the search keyword in the search result display?
This example is just a test case that indexes the home page of my site. A more complete example can be found in the next part of this article.
a month ago i sent you comments regarding your article about integration of zend lucene with CI. I have got out of the errors as i reported to you before. but got into some new ones. Now i want to search html docs in my application…every query i m submitting in search is returning no results..when there actually are. i am sending you the code..plz if you can have a look at it and point out my mistake.
// Create empty array, in case there are no results.
// If a search_query parameter has been posted, search the index.
// Load view, and populate with results.
and at search_result view i get every time "No results were returned for query: a".
can u figure aut my mistake plz.
I downloaded the latest Zend framework release 'ZendFramework-2.3.3.zip' form site http://framework.zend.com/downloads, but I did not find the folder "Search" in path "Zend/Search/Lucene" !! from where I can get it?
following your steps, the search works for the previous version of zf1., but right now I want to work with zf2.
But unfortunately nothing works ?? what is wrong ?


On Thurday night, despite having remembered to tote around a reusable plastic beer mug, I did not drink a single beer.
What happened on Thursday night is that I went down to the street party for the Junos (Canadian Music Awards) where there were free parties, bands playing all down the street, and a noticeable abundance of plastic beer cups.
In the main event tent, as predicted, there was a beer garden, doling out said cups filled with Whistler Brew. Alas, when I attempted to use my mug, I was shut down. I was actually surprised. I've been on a streak of agreeable servers and deli attendants who filled my containers and cups without question. What do you mean "no, you won't do it"?
Their excuse wasn't even a good one. They said if I didn't have a cup like everyone else, security would think I smuggled my alcohol in. What? Do I look like I'm 19? I haven't smuggled alcohol in anywhere in 10 years! Ok, maybe 5, but really. Why the heck does the bar tender care what the security guy thinks of me?
I debated the issue for about 5 minutes before giving up and selling my $7 (!) beer ticket to someone else.
Maybe I was over reacting, but who sets these rules? No beer unless it is in a flimsy, disposable plastic cup.
I'll admit that I did go to a similar gathering a few weeks ago and forgot my reusable mug. And I'll also admit that I cheated a bit at that event and reused a plastic cup that one of my friend's had ditched. However, that particular cup came home with me and ended up in the "non curbside pick up plastic" pile. And when you wake up in the morning and realize that pile is a little bit bigger, it isn't a good feeling. It's like a recycling hangover.
So that was why, this time, I held my ground. No more using disposable plastic – even if it had already been used once.
Thanks to my patient friends who stood and waited while I had my eccentric confrontations, first with the beer guy and then with the pizza guy (who ended up giving me a slice in my hand and promising to reuse the cardboard box and who was definitely smirking at me when I left). It made me realize that things are so easy when you have your little routine of shops you go to and people you buy from, but that it all gets thrown out of wack when you go into the larger city and people just think you're purposely being a difficult customer.
Ah well, I saved a couple bucks, and I'm probably better off with one less beer in my stomach anyway.
wow! you're stories are great readings. It must feel great to live every little thing differently for a purpose.
I found your story really interesting, and it made me feel good. Not because you've been rejected in a way, but because it always feels good to see people fighting for their cause, it is always great to realize we are not the only ones who live the same experience.
Here's one of my own… well, I want to share, I hope I won't take to much space.
Anyway, my great (hem… not!) experience has been with Tim Horton's and the roll-up-the-rim contest which, as you probably know, uses tons of disposable cardboard cups. Personnaly, I don't care about the contest because your chances are so slim, and the environment is just more important. So, one day, I was in this little town where the only coffee available is at Tim Horton's. Therefore, I decided to go for it with my reusable mug. Even if I presented my mug and said I did not need a contest cup, the clerk insisted on giving me the cardboard cup I was suppose to receive with my coffee. BUT I DID NOT WANT IT! The person behind me said : "Well, then, I will take it…" And he received it… without coffee. The same person got another one when he bought his own coffee… I was stunned.
It made me sad too. Around here, at this time of the year, the sides of the roads are filled with "Timmy's" cardboard cups.
We tried to do you proud (yes, you're getting in our heads).
At the Junos at GM Place, we dutifully brought our beer cups back for another round, but were denied too! No reason. They just said they couldn't.
Not that it is an excuse, I'm sure its more about making a bit more money…but not reusing a beer cup is probably due to health concerns. Same reason why you can't reuse a plate at a buffet.
Ah Tim Hortons. I love them, but they gotta stop it with the packaging. We used to actually eat there a lot, but we had ongoing battles with overpackaged sandwiches, so we haven't been lately.
Good try Monica. I think Ryan is right, it's a health and safety thing. I think we're a little paranoid in this country. Why not just have a sign that says "if you use your own mug and get sick, it's your own problem"?
You can't reuse a plate at a buffet?! Really? I've done it, but I guess I was unintentionally doing it on the sly.
A health and safety thing? How bizarre! Most coffee shops in Australia sell reusable mugs and encourage you to bring them. And oh, beer. I drank too much of it last night so next time I should try your approach!
its too bad festivals etc haven't caught the "green bug" more!
we live in guelph and attend the HILLSIDE music festival regularily! its super eco-friendly – you HAVE to buy a reusable beer mug if you want beer (plus its actually cool to bring your old ones back every year!), they sell stainless steel water bottles (thus eliminating the plastic water bottles), provide take-away food in reusable plates, utensils etc and even have a fill your own water bottle station. volunteers wash all the dishes so they can be used for the whole weekend!
another pretty cool thing is that the roof of the main stage is actually a LIVING roof – providing oxygen etc for the earth!
thanks again for all your efforts guys! keep it up!
That sounds like an amazing festival! I have heard of ones where you must buy a reusable mug (and then you can sell it back at the end of the day if you want), but I've never seen a whole festival with people washing dishes. That's awesome!
I assume the venue has a permanent stage and that's how they can have a living roof. There are some great incentives in Ontario to have a green roof on your own building, and it's cool to see that people are taking advantage of that.
I know it's weird about the cups. Hospitals I understand – we don't want to be reusing needles etc, but cups. . . bringing your own actually saves the vendor money!
I've been meaning to check out your blog (I read about you in the MEC catalogue) and this entry really caught my eye. We went to visit our friends in Germany and we had lunch at a little sausage kiosk thingy in the centre of town. Well, not only did we NOT get said sausage in a shedload of packaging (the Germans seem to think the bun will suffice for transportation so they are miles ahead there) but we also had a beer and 2 glasses of wine. Which was served in actual GLASSES. You paid a small deposit for your glass and when you finished drinking out of it, you gave it back and they returned your deposit, which I thought was the best thing ever.
I had a similar experience. My high school principal wouldn't let me bring my reusable water bottle with me for the graduation which was outside and in hot weather. She said I had to take a disposable plastic sealed one because she was worried I would try bringing alcohol to the graduation ceremony… Really? Of course my first objective is to get drunk in front of my parents and grandparents and then stumble across the stage to get my diploma… Just Kidding. I just decided to not drink water and it worked out fine. I just think its funny and sad that that happened. People are so worried about teenagers bringing alcohol and other drugs that they require them to only bring food wrapped in sealed packaging to school functions.

The 450th anniversary of Claudio Monteverdi's birth
Blog 9 May 2017
Our 2017's music programme features Monteverdi's three surviving operas, the 'other' Vespers and a modern-day premiere of his rediscovered work.
In the year marking the 450th anniversary of Claudio Monteverdi's birth, the International Festival's music programme features his three surviving operas, the 'other' Vespers and a modern-day premiere of his rediscovered work. Read on to learn more about the Italian composer and hear from the artists presenting his works this August (you can also listen to our Monteverdi playlist).
The end of all good music is to affect the soul
Claudio Monteverdi was born on 9 May 1567 in Cremona, Italy. He studied with the director of music at the local cathedral and while still only in his teens, he published several books of secular and religious music. In his twenties, Monteverdi was employed as a musician by the duke of Mantua where he had an opportunity to meet some of the finest performers and composers of the time, as well as travel to Hungary and Flanders. Famed by his books of madrigals and avant-garde experimentations in music, Monteverdi became truly established as a composer by writing his first opera L'Orfeo, considered to be the first great operatic masterpiece. We'll get back to this opera a bit later in this blog, but first let's hear from a couple of conductors and Monteverdi experts who will present his work at International Festival this August.
"Monteverdi straddles both the Renaissance and the Baroque (…) He was very good at keeping both old and new worlds in his sacred music," says Robert Hollingworth, director of British chamber vocal ensemble I Fagiolini, "On the modern side, there is a focus on solo voices, instrumental accompaniment, and virtuosity; but remaining conservative by using what is basically a Renaissance vocal ensemble with an odd extra instrument and a touch of harmonic spice."
Speaking about the genius of Monteverdi and his music, conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner says "It's almost like a pop song - it has so much energy and colour and passion; it tells you how you might be feeling today, how you will be feeling tomorrow and how you felt yesterday. It's all there in the music and it will just blow your mind away!"

I had just a fantastic time with Jeff and his mom for his senior photos! He is a very funny, athletic, well-mannered young man and I just had a blast. We broke the sessions up into three different ones: one regular session and two sports mini-sessions. Jeff plays basketball & baseball and is a star at both. In fact he may very well play in college for both sports after high school graduation. I can't wait to hear more about his future decisions. Here is Jeff's regular session and I'll post the sports ones later this week!
Thank you for choosing me, Jeff & Lisa! So much fun!!


Might As Well Face It, You're Addicted to…Emotions?
That's not how the popular 80s song goes. Or is it? The song clearly talks about being "addicted to love". And love is an emotion.
The latest in brain research shows that every emotion we feel causes our bodies to release neuropeptides, in other words, proteins that are responsible for regulating our health, mood and behavior.


I boast a stargazer or two in my household. My son has rocket ship sheets on his bed, glowing stars on his wall and a real telescope my husband props on the balcony when they feel like braving the icy winds off Lake Michigan.
This book didn't last two seconds out of the package before both my little spaceman and my big one were hunched over it, reading, pointing and exclaiming. Something about the hubbub over Pluto really gets amateur astronomers going, and mine aren't the only ones.
In case you've been living on an asteroid, Pluto got bumped from the planet club last year after astronomers decided there were too many other Pluto-esque balls of ice and rock floating around the same neighborhood. It just wasn't special enough after all.
Nothing could make such a phenomenon hit closer than dramatizing it as a personal quest. Rusch cuts through the science and brings us a gripping, highly readable story of one persistent, likable young astronomer determined to find another planet in the Kuiper belt at the very fringes of the solar system.
We follow Mike Brown from his boyhood making moon craters in his muddy backyard to his adult years and the ingenious system he developed to detect new heavenly bodies using an old observatory telescope. How exciting to see his discoveries one by one, laid out in funny side notes that explain their names (he dubbed one "Santa" after the red-suited Christmas visitor) and some weird facts about them. We feel his excitement--and determination--build as he wonders what, exactly, he's stumbled upon.
There's no ending to spoil; Brown's adventures go on and on. Somewhere out there, peering into space, the man who forced a re-examining of certain celestial truths is still happily mapping his piece of heaven.
I thought it was a great way to combine history, science and plot in one kids' book.
It is a kids book but, I am slightly embarresed to admit this, I actually enjoyed it myself. It is charming, well written and will definitely keep a budding young astronomers interest.

Top 10 Most Expensive Cities to Live in USA〖2023〗
January 21, 2023 January 21, 2023 by asvehicle
Most Expensive Cities to Live in USA 2023
Most Expensive Cities to Live in USA – The most expensive cities in which to live New York City in the United States is New York City, the costliest city in the United States, and among the most expensive cities in the world.

New York City is the costliest city in the United States and one of some of the priciest cities around the globe. A typical Manhattan residence cost is approximately $1,489 square feet, with some offering upwards of thirty million dollars to purchase a luxurious condo.
2. San Francisco, California
The cost of living for residents in San Francisco is rising significantly as the city grows and more well-known. It has been a long-standing problem for San Francisco residents because of the cost of housing, which is high and the high cost of living.
San Francisco, California, is one of the most expensive cities in the United States. The average cost for the living expenses in San Francisco is $94,767 per year, as per an analysis by RentCafe.
This has made it more difficult for people to locate affordable housing and maintain the standard of living they had and be able to provide for their families.
3. Honolulu, Hawaii
Honolulu, Hawaii, is the third most expensive city in the United States of America. It has been in the top 3 for a few years, and there's an explanation for why Hawaii's economy is heavily dependent on tourism. This is a huge increase in the demand for properties and space.
It doesn't mean that you have to think about moving to Hawaii even if you don't have the cash in the bank, as there are plenty of ways to save cash. Rent a car, buy an apartment at a low cost, or locate someone to share costs with you.
4. Boston, Massachusetts
The USA as it has been for quite a long time. Boston is a costly city in America. It's always been among the most sought-after cities for young professionals. It's not a surprise that it is home to the most significant number of college graduates in the United States.
It also has many of the top universities in America, which gives it the largest number of intellectuals. All of these make it an excellent location to live in.
Boston is also highly walkable and offers people the opportunities to take advantage of what the city offers without getting a car.
The capital of the United States, Washington D.C., is home to some of the most expensive homes in the United States.
Washington D.C., with an estimated population of 648,000, is the priciest city to reside in America. The median cost of an individual-family house in this area is $500,000, and a monthly mortgage is around $2200, and more than 28,000 per year for one home.
6. Oakland, California
Oakland is among some of the costliest cities across the United States to live in. The median house price for homes in Oakland is $767,500. This is more than twice the median of $355,000 in the nation.
Alongside the housing price, Oakland is also a hot spot for crime and has a number of public security concerns. The homicide rate was also high in 2016, which was the highest they've been since 1990.
7. San Jose California
San Jose has been voted the most expensive city in the United States. Due to its expensive living costs, it's not recommended for people who prefer an affordable lifestyle.
According to CBRE, San Jose ranked first in the U.S. for the highest average asking rent for office space.
8. San Diego, Californi

Freedom To Marry And Freedom To Grow: What Cannabis Activists Can Learn From The Fight For Same-Sex Marriage
By Tess Barker | Published: January 22, 2018
Few issues so typify current ideological polarities between the federal and state governments in the United States than the battle over legalization of marijuana. On a state level, the popular mandate for safe and legal access to cannabis has been evident in a number of regions. As eight states plus the District of Columbia now allow for some form of recreational use, at least 12 additional states are poised to join their ranks in 2018.
Even Senator Dan Seum, a Republican from conservative stronghold Kentucky, has recently advocated for recreational cannabis use in his state.
Working counter to this tide of widespread legalization, however, is the federal government. The policies of current Attorney General Jeff Sessions have been particularly combative toward those in the cannabis industry and the state governments that seek to support and tax them. Sessions' January withdrawal of the Obama-era Cole Memo was seen widely as an attack on states with legal cannabis, as it both undermined their autonomy to allow free use of the plant, and drastically complicated issues of banking and finance for cannabis business owners.
In recent years, another issue has been contentiously battled through conflicting state and federal mandates: that of same-sex marriage.
The issue of the legality of same-sex marriage saw a decades-long discourse in the United States. Judicial action on the matter dates back to 1972, when in the case of Baker v. Nelson, the Supreme Court dismissed a gay couple's attempt to marry, on the grounds that a state law limiting marriage to persons of the opposite sex did not violate the US Constitution.
In 2015, however, the matter would ultimately be decided by the federal courts in Obergefell v. Hodges, wherein the Supreme Court ruled that for states to prevent same-sex couples from marrying was a violation of the 14th Amendment. Though the battle for same-sex marriage saw states asserting their views on both sides (some moving to allow gay marriage, others moving to ban it), the issue's ultimate path may give clues as to how the matter of cannabis legalization could be resolved nationwide.
States Go To Bat For Same-Sex Marriage And Cannabis
In 1999, three years after President Clinton passed the Defense of Marriage Act, California became the first state to pass a domestic partnerships statute. The full rights of same-sex marriage would not be granted to Californians until 2008, when state legislatures struck down a controversial ban.
Analogous to the state's pioneering move as the first to allow medicinal use (which occurred around the same time, in 1996), the initial introduction of domestic partnerships in California would serve as a stop-gap solution to federal resistance. Just as domestic partnerships effectively allowed what amounted to marriage, medicinal use in California would essentially legalize cannabis in the state by creating readily available medicinal recommendations, and a plethora of thriving dispensaries that would help create a booming so-called gray market.
For both cannabis and same-sex marriage, these moves would also serve to broaden public acceptance, and move the state collectively toward supporting full legalization. Indeed, surveys from the Pew Research Center indicate that social acceptance of both cannabis and the changing attitude toward same-sex marriage have moved along very similar trajectories and timelines.
As has been the case in the state-by-state legalization of cannabis, protections for same-sex marriage were gradually rolled out across the country in states like Connecticut, Iowa, Maine and Vermont. Almost immediately after the passage of the Defense of Marriage Act, judicial challenges were raised to its constitutionality in terms of both civil and state rights. Ultimately, decisions surrounding the constitutionality of bans on interracial marriage, such as that of Loving v. Virginia, would help shape the justice's opinion that the right to marry was in fact a federal issue because of the challenges bans presented to the 14th Amendment.
While legal experts generally believe that cannabis cultivation is a state issue — so long as all commerce is engaged within state lines — most cannabis entrepreneurs recognize that true growth and innovation within the field will require interstate commerce.
Given the clear need for changes to federal marijuana policy, and given the hostility toward the cannabis industry from the current executive branch, it may be both wise and inevitable for the path to nationwide legalization to make its way through the doors of the Supreme Court. While challenges to the constitutionality of cannabis prohibition have not been as widespread as those to marriage bans, they do have historical precedent.
A Brief History Of Cannabis Prohibition
Marijuana was initially outlawed in the United States by way of the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, which effectively made cannabis illegal by imposing punishments on those who handled the plant. Many historians believe the passage of this act was in part a xenophobic reaction to an influx of Mexican immigrants following the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Cannabis had been widely used in Mexico as a medical treatment and relaxant, and historians believe that measures to curb marijuana use and sales were tied in with hostile attitudes toward immigrants.
While the Marihuana Tax Act did not explicitly make the use of cannabis illegal, it created conditions under which it was impossible to comply with legal restrictions placed on the plant. A successful constitutional challenge was brought to the act in 1969, when professor and activist Timothy Leary argued before the court in Leary v. United States that the act was unconstitutional because it violated the Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination.
While the ruling struck down the tax act, the subsequent passage of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970 maintained the illegality of marijuana, and ushered in the drug classification system, under which marijuana remains to be categorized as a Schedule I substance, the designation given to the most dangerous and addictive drugs.
A variety of constitutional challenges have also been brought against the strict prohibition of marijuana. As early as 1968, an article was published in the Villanova University Law Review, arguing that federal marijuana laws violated one's Fourth Amendment rights to privacy, as they inherently infringed on one's private domestic sphere. In 1975, this right to privacy was affirmed on the state level, as the Alaska Supreme Court held in Ravin v. State that Alaska residents retained the constitutional right to use and protect a small amount of marijuana within their own homes.
Others have argued that criminalizing marijuana presents a violation of one's freedom of religion. In 2017, cannabis activist Bill Levin, head of the First Church of Cannabis, filed a civil lawsuit after his facilities were raided by law enforcement. His case, which will posit that he and his congregants were free to consume marijuana as part of their religious ceremonies, is set to go to trial soon.
Still other cases brought to the courts have argued that current laws pose a threat to citizens' constitutional rights because they call for cruel and unusual punishment.
In July 2011, Alabama local man Lee Carroll Brooker was arrested for growing marijuana for his own medicinal use, and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. Brooker argued that his punishment was unconstitutionally harsh, given his crime. The Supreme Court opted not to hear Brooker's arguments, and the now-81-year-old disabled veteran remains incarcerated. It certainly seems plausible that as public acceptance of marijuana continues to broaden, further questions will be raised around whether the stringent punishments associated with possession and sales of a Schedule I are, in fact cruel and unusual.
The fight for same-sex marriage was won by way of small battles in terms of state rights and social acceptance. Ultimately, however, it was the recognition by the court that marriage bans were unconstitutional that allowed citizens to lead their life free of unnecessary and inappropriate government intervention. If cannabis users, growers, business owners and their allies hope to enjoy the same protections, it may be necessary to wage similar legal battles.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- East Africa Metals Inc. (TSX Venture: EAM) ("East Africa" or the "Company") would like to provide an update on the development of its Ethiopian Projects in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia ("Ethiopia") and the arbitration hearing related to its Tanzanian assets.
With the completion of the Preliminary Economic Assessments for the Terakimti Gold Heap Leach project ("Terakimti HL"), Mato Bula Gold Copper and Da Tambuk Gold projects, East Africa is now focused on arranging the pre-production capital financing required to develop the Terakimti HL project and commence production.
East Africa is in discussions with several groups located in North America, Europe, China and Hong Kong in providing project financing. Currently the discussions with the groups have identified a number of financing alternatives including debt (from private lenders and merchant banks), metal streams, joint venture arrangement and/or a strategic investment either at the Company or the project level. The Company will continue to engage in discussions with the objective to secure a binding letter of intent or a binding financing offer.
East Africa has commenced discussions with Ethiopian Road Authority ("ERA") for survey and design of the seven (7) kilometre access road from the paved highway to the Terakimti HL project area. The ERA is preparing a term of reference for the upgrade of the access road to the proposed Terakimti HL mine site.
East Africa has commenced discussions with a district branch of the Power Authority to provide a formal proposal for construction and connection of a power line to the high-tension power corridor seven (7) kilometres west of the Terakimti Heap Leach project area.
As previously disclosed (see news release dated June 29, 2016) an independent Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") study was approved by the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Natural Gas ("MoMPNG") as part of the Terakimti HL mining application process. The ESIA concluded that the local population is in favour of the project, and the anticipated benefits would be important to the local community and to the local and regional governments. The study identified a small number of local farmers within the Terakimti HL mining licence area that would require relocation so as not to be directly impacted by the mining activities.
The Company has been in communication with Ethiopian Authorities on the next stage of the RAP. The Ethiopian Authorities have instructed the Company to commence the formal valuation of the cost of the RAP. Following this development the Company has engaged an Ethiopian based social consulting firm with expertise in relocation to conduct the valuation report.
As announced in East Africa's news release dated August 16, 2018, the Company received MoMPNG approval for the ESIAs for the Mato Bula Gold Copper and Da Tambuk Gold Projects. The next step in the mining licence application process is the preparation of the model mining agreement for the Company's review.
East Africa management is scheduled to meet with the MoMPNG Minister in Addis Ababa this week to review the status of the mining licence applications. The Mato Bula gold-copper and Da Tambuk gold projects are both part of the company's 100% Adyabo project, located in the Tigray national regional state of Ethiopia.
Canaco Tanzania Ltd ("CTL"), a subsidiary of East Africa, has received a default notice from the Tanzanian Government advising of certain issues attributed to development and operational actions that are non-compliant with the Tanzanian Mining Act. CTL has been given 45 days to initiate action to address matters of non-compliance.
The Company expects to submit the default notice as evidence in the on-going arbitration. The default notice may have an impact on the arbitration, and, if the arbitration is ultimately decided in favour of East Africa, the Company will re-initiate management of the project and will look for strategic alternatives to address the development requirements. To that end, East Africa is currently developing a plan for submission to the Tanzanian government to address the issues identified in the notice and restore compliance to the project.

Re: What's on offer for Season 4?
I just want to give an extra plug for the Themed Event this time. The "theme" is the Frankish war band and we will be using either five or six of the series of Frankish historical scenarios that I designed myself. At the group stage players will fight the battles of Clovis I, the famous Frankish king who began their expansion and, in the knock-out stage, players will fight the battles of his four sons. I think the scenarios are well-balanced enough to fight as single battles, but I am hoping that we can attract twenty four players so that we can have two pools of twelve players, divided into qualifying groups of three players each. In these qualifying groups players will played paired games against each other so that each player will fight four separate battles. The advantage of this arrangement is that both players will use each army and be faced with exactly the same terrain, something that a lot of players have requested be a feature in the FOG2DL. The knock-out stages remain unchanged from previous seasons where players play against each other in paired games at the quarter-final, semi-final and final stages.
Please give the Themed Event some consideration this time if you have never entered it before so that we can reach the magic number of 24 entrants. Thanks.

Is The New Katie Melua Album Any Good?
Most people either love or hate Katie Melua – however, there is no denying that she has a widespread, charming appeal and an impressive ability to sell records without having to be controversial or negative about other artists. Her fourth studio album 'The House' was released this week… the album is a step forward for Katie, as long term producer Mike Batt has been replaced by William Orbit… so is the album any good?
The hauntingly beautiful opening track 'I'd Love To Kill You', is a fragile tale of longing to escape a relationship "I'd love to kill you in your sleep, cause you don't have power over me"– the arrangement, the tenderness and range within Katie's vocal and heartfelt lyrics are superb.
The incredibly fantastic lead single 'The Flood' is an atmospheric, striking, and deeply powerful statement of the need to accept and embrace change – it's effortless and supremely addictive. 'A Happy Pace' is a jaunty, ethereal sounding song – it's many layers and hooks are stunning. The lyrics find Katie contemplating the need for peace "I have found that stress and nonsense puts me in zone of avoidance", whilst the delivery of the song feels almost like a chant or mantra.
'A Moment Of Madness' is an over-the-top theatrical sounding tale of desire and obsession, the way in which Katie sings "it's a moment of madness" is captivating. 'Red Balloons' is a pretty, slow burning bluesy sounding number – it's soothing and peaceful. The chorus is particularly wonderful as Katie conveys great emotion and gentleness "the sky is full of red balloons, red balloons are full of broken hearts, broken hearts are floating by in chance, will they burst or drift into arms".
'No Fear Of Heights' is another stunningly beautiful track, it's a delicate lament of giving so much in love that you have no fear of losing it all – it's simple and completely delicious. Katie goes from great love to losing it as she delivers a broken and pained vocal on 'The One I Love Is Gone' before producing an upbeat and quirky track called 'The Plague Of Love'. Sequentially, this set of songs demonstrates the highs and lows within relationships very well.
There are many many highlights on 'The House' – it's an album that can be listened to in it's entirety, it never becomes dull or boring… instead, it's glorious, expertly crafted with many surprising twists and turns along the way. It is an album of risks for Katie… it shows growth, maturity and a sense of being in control, coupled with her singing, writing and instrument playing – it makes for a brilliantly rich, diverse sounding and ultimately thoroughly enjoyable album.
