Satori Resources Delineates Drill Targets for the Tartan Lake Project
By admin December 2, 2020 No Comments
Initial interpretation of geological and geophysical data complete, indicating opportunities for resource expansion;
Low-risk exploration targets identified outside of the resource area, however, proximal to the existing mine infrastructure; and
Permitting applications are in progress to allow resumption of drilling.
Toronto, Ontario – December 2, 2020 – Satori Resources Inc. (TSXV: BUD) ("Satori" or the "Company") is pleased to announce preliminary observations from the geological and geophysical compilation study of its 100% owned Tartan Lake Project (2,670 Ha.) located near Flin Flon, Manitoba.
Review of the geophysical and geological data is ongoing, however it has progressed sufficiently to allow the Company to begin identifying favourable drill targets for ongoing evaluation and follow up field investigation.
The Company has previously outlined its dual track of expanding its current resource at Tartan Lake, while pursuing the necessary permits to put the mine back in to production.
The focus on resource expansion has led Satori's technical team to identify opportunities within close proximity to the existing mining infrastructure, and in addition, the recent geophysical study suggests that two other zones may provide potential expansion at the Tartan Lake mine. These zones and associated targets have seen minimal historical exploration work and are situated within the assembled claim package close to the mine.
Wes Hanson, P. Geo, and a Director of the Company states; "We are very encouraged with the observations to date which support our view that Tartan Lake offers a dual path to drive stakeholder value. This is a road accessible property, in an established, world class mining district, with considerable infrastructure in place and demonstrated potential to host anomalous gold mineralization. Historic mine production (1987-1989) averaged 5.78 g/t gold from the Main and South Zones to a depth of 300 metres from surface. The historical pre-mining mineral reserve estimate (Kilborn 1986) estimated a total reserve of 623,000 tonnes averaging 8.50 g/t Au containing 170,000 ounces of gold. Approximately 50% of that pre-mining reserve remains in place and is fully developed. Our compilation work to date strongly suggests that the mineralization remains open at depth along plunge and there is compelling evidence suggesting potential for additional discoveries outside of the resource area but within 1000 metres of the existing mine infrastructure, based on historical sampling and drilling which we continue to evaluate. We continue to review the available data and are focusing on finalizing our exploration plan and budgets in the coming weeks with a view to initiating a diamond drill program and other such exploration activities in Q1-2021; provided no additional COVID restrictions are initiated that would affect our plans."
A review of the Main Zone, developed and mined from 1986 to 1989, suggests it remains open to depth along plunge. The host shear zone ranges in thickness from 15 to 50 metres, strikes East-West and dips steeply to the north. High grade gold mineralization associated with anastomosing quartz-carbonate veins occur within this shear zone, generally favouring the hanging wall (northern) contact. The veins range from sub-centimeter to several metres in thickness. The compilation work suggests that the main zone has a core component, with more intense quartz carbonate veining. The core extends for 150-200 metres along strike, varies from 2.0 to 10.0 metres in width and extends for 150 to 200 metres down dip. It plunges to the west at 65º and has been traced by historical drilling for over 600 metres along plunge to the west. The geometry suggests that the core component offsets to the west and north at depth and that the historic holes to the west of the Main Zone drilled over top of the target. The down plunge target area represents a compelling exploration target that is immediately accessible for diamond drilling. Eleven (11) diamond drill holes currently define the western limit of Main Zone (Ref. Figures 1,0 and 2.0). Assay results indicate the host shear zone averages 2.45 g/t Au over 12.4 metres (true width). Within the shear zone, the core mineralization returned an average grade of 6.21 g/t Au over 3.6 metres (true width) very similar to the historic mine feed grade from 1986 to 1989, originating from the upper 300 metres of the deposit

Jeremy S. Brett, MSc., P.Geo., Senior Geophysical Consultant, MPH Consulting Limited, has reviewed the historical geophysical data and has recommended additional post processing of the 2011 Geotech VTEM survey data, which is underway. The post processing will identify chargeable and resistive responses within the airborne data set which shall be used to prioritize targets for further geophysical surveys and or drilling if warranted. The airborne survey identified weak, conductive anomalies along the regional West-North-West striking shear structures that trace into the mine sequence (Ref. Figure 3.0). This regional trend remains largely unexplored to date and further processing of the airborne data could highlight areas that should be evaluated in the field.
Mr. Brett has also recommended that the Company consider a Controlled Source Audio Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) survey to evaluate the down plunge potential of the Main and South Zones at depth. An Induced Polarization (IP) survey has also been recommended to evaluate the along strike extent of the host shear zone system to the east and west of the historic mine, as well as to evaluate select target areas along the conductive anomaly highlighted by the older HLEM and VTEM surveys.

Jennifer Boyle, Chief Executive Officer, notes: "We believe Tartan Lake represents an outstanding exploration opportunity. It is located in an established, stable, mining jurisdiction, is road accessible and includes a significant amount of historical data that demonstrates the presence of gold mineralization. Similar quartz-carbonate vein hosted gold deposits elsewhere in Canada extend for several kilometres vertically and the mineralization at Tartan is continuous from surface to a depth of 600 metres returning grades that are certainly worth evaluating in greater detail with the gold price currently six times higher than when the mine operations were suspended. Metallurgical studies, largely conducted after the mine had ceased operating, indicate recoveries in excess of 92% are achievable and that a significant portion of that recovery can be obtained utilizing gravity recovery. We believe that targeted exploration at depth may unlock significant potential value for our shareholders and we are currently developing an exploration plan and budget to capture that opportunity."

Wes Hanson P.Geo., Director of Satori is the qualified person who has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release. Mr. Hanson, the former Chief Mine Geologist at Tartan Lake, notes the following:
Historical Data Qualifications:
Production statistics originated from published monthly production reports for the period 1987 through 1989. These reports indicate that the Tartan Lake Mine produced 35,814 ounces of gold from 252,527 tonnes of ore that averaged 5.78 g/t gold, which Mr. Hanson verifies as being a true historical representation.
With respect to the reference of the pre-mining mineral reserve estimate, Mr. Hanson notes:
The estimate was prepared by Kilborn Engineering Limited in 1987. Given the date of the estimate, it is highly probable that the estimate was prepared utilizing manual estimation techniques from plans and sections and industry best practices in 1987. Specific details on the classification of the reserve, procedures and methodology cannot be verified.
There is no 43-101 compliant Technical Report supporting the historical Kilborn estimate.
Reference to the historical, pre-mining reserve estimate is provided solely for context and should not be relied on as a current mineral resource or reserve estimate. Satori does not consider the historical estimate as current.
Satori's current mineral resource estimate for the Tartan Lake Project is summarized in the Table below:
Classification Tonnes Grade Au
(ozs)
Indicated 1,180,000 6.32 240,000
Inferred 240,000 4.89 37,000
The current mineral resource estimate was prepared by Mr. A. Armitage P.Geo, Mr. S. Butler P.Geo, Mr. P. Karelse P.Geo and M. A. Petrovic P. Eng of Mining Plus Canada Consulting Ltd. Messrs. Armitage, Butler, Karelse and Petrovic are qualified persons that are independent of Satori.
The current mineral resource estimate is dated April 5, 2017 and a Technical Report titled: "Satori Resources Tartan Lake Project Technical Report Manitoba, Canada April 2017" is available on www.sedar.com and the Company's website for review.
ABOUT SATORI RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: BUD)
Satori is a Toronto-based mineral exploration and development company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol BUD, focused on the acquisition and exploration and development of gold projects in Canada.
ABOUT THE TARTAN LAKE PROJECT
The Tartan Lake Project (2,670 Ha.) is located approximately 10 kilometres northeast of Flin Flon, Manitoba. The project includes the Tartan Lake Mine (1986-1989); which produced 36,000 ounces of gold from 250,000 tonnes of ore feed. Average metallurgical recoveries were 76% resulting in an average feed grade of 5.8 g/t Au delivered to the mill. Remaining infrastructure includes: all season access road, grid connected power supply, mill, mechanical, warehouse and office buildings, tailing impoundment and a 2,100 metre decline and developed underground mining galleries to a depth of 300 metres from surface.
Gold mineralization is associated with anastomosing quartz-carbonate veins hosted in east-west striking, steeply dipping shear zones up to 30 metres in width. The veins, vary from several centimetres to several meters in width and gold grades vary from 1.0 to +100 g/t. Mineralization at the mine is currently drill limited and open at depth.

Q. Eric from soggy Ellicott City, Maryland (how soggy is it? His email was wet!) writes: "One of the tips I've picked up from your podcast is to sprinkle crushed eggshells into the planting holes of my tomatoes. I've been saving my eggshells ever since and have a few crushed quarts of them. My problem is that I only plant a couple of tomatoes a year. Can I use my stockpile of eggshells elsewhere in the garden? I grow mostly flowers - are eggshells useful for flowers? What about flat earth and raised bed flowers and vegetables? Is there anything that wouldn't benefit from a bit more calcium, or is it possible to have too much of a good thing?"
A. Perfect time of year for this question, Eric, as many of our new listeners may not know 'the old eggshell trick' and this gives them time to amass the number of shells they'll need for tomato planting season.
1) It totally prevents blossom end rot, one of the worst tomato tragedies, when tomatoes that are almost ripe suddenly turn black on the bottom ('the blossom end') and fall apart. Greenhouse growers can avoid this problem by supplying even amounts of water during the growing season because their plants are not exposed to rain. But those of us growing out in the open can't possibly avoid the 'uneven watering' that causes the problem--but we can add eggshells.
When tomatoes have adequate soil calcium, they can control their internal water movement enough to avoid the extreme pressures that cause the blossom end to burst. Over the years, I've found crushed eggshells to be the perfect way to supply this calcium. The shells release their calcium slowly over the season, providing a nice steady supply of the nutrient--and you weren't going to keep them! Sure, you could add the shells to your compost pile, but they are reluctant to break down and are often the only raw ingredient left visible after the rest of the compost is finished.
2) Adequate soil calcium is also necessary for the finest-tasting tomatoes to develop the rich, full, complex flavors we're seeking when we try and grow 'the perfect tomato'. The basic flavor of every tomato is a blend of sweetness and acidity, but the super-tasty ones--generally old adored heirlooms like Brandywine, Black Krim and Mortgage Lifter--also develop complex volatile aromatic oils that lend distinct--and delicious--'back flavors' to the fruits. They can't do this without calcium; and again, crushed eggshells are the perfect slow release form of that nutrient.
So, save up your eggshells. After you've finished a carton of eggs, let the shells air dry out in the open for a day or two (no need to rinse them; they don't smell). When tomato planting time comes around, dig a deep hole for each transplant, pull off all the bottom leaves, drop the transplant down into the hole, finely crush a dozen dried eggshells overtop of the rootball, then fill the hole back up with the same soil you removed--no 'improved soil in the hole'; then mulch with two inches of compost and provide good support for the vining plant.
Next in line to receive any eggshell largesse is your cucumber crop. In this case, dig a regular sized planting hole (tomatoes are the only plant whose stem gets buried deeply), drop your baby cuke plants into the hole, add a dozen crushed eggshells, fill the hole back in with the soil you removed and then mulch with compost. The calcium in the eggshells will make your cucumbers naturally crisper--both raw and after they're pickled!
After that, there are a surprising number of ornamentals that want either supplemental calcium or a slighter higher pH (which the crushed shells also provide). The numbers are kind of mind-boggling--there are several large books devoted exclusively to flowers that prefer alkaline soil!
The greatly-misunderstood boxwood also falls into this category, as despite being evergreen, it suffers in soil that isn't on the alkaline side. If you're out of eggshells at this point, ask a friend with a fireplace or wood stove for some of their ashes. Ashes from a hardwood fire are almost as alkaline as agricultural lime. And boxwood loves wood ash.
And eggshells are doubly deadly to the slimers. Their bodies can't handle the calcium in the shells and the microscopically sharp edges of the crushed shells (so small that we can't see or feel them) tear them apart if they try and cross over them (much like DE).
One final note: Make sure your soils aren't already alkaline before you add anything to up the pH; and never ever use eggshells or other pH-raisers around acid-loving plants like azaleas and rhododendrons.

In high school you were probably told to never ever use Wikipedia for class research because anyone can edit it. Well, college is about breaking rules. You *can* use Wikipedia for research. However:
If you find something interesting, make sure to verify it with a refereed source.
Make sure to ask your professor before you *cite* Wikipedia as a source. They will probably tell you no.
Wikipedia is most useful for:
Engaging your curiosity about a subject by giving you background information and demonstrating the different directions in which your research could go.
Introducing you to keywords and vocabulary that will lead you to "better" sources via library databases.
Giving you a quick start with finding references. Look at the bottom of the page! There are almost always references there, many of which are of a caliber that you could use and cite in your paper!
So: Use Wikipedia wisely. It is a place to start your research. It should not be where your research ends.

We present 3 cases of bilateral acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction secondary to Wegener granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In all cases significant paranasal sinus and intranasal disease coincided with bilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Surgical treatment of the nasolacrimal duct obstruction with dacryocystorhinostomy was more successful if the paranasal sinus disease was also treated. Nontraumatic bilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction heralds unusual underlying systemic diseases, and coexisting paranasal sinus disease should be suspected. The simultaneous surgical treatment of both lacrimal and paranasal sinus disease through an endoscopic approach is advocated.

Q: How to prevent mongoid has_many from firing a query on a new object I have two classes, A and B
class A
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_many :bs, class_name: "B"
end

class B
    include Mongoid::Document
    belongs_to :a
end

In the rails console, i type:
a = A.new

and it returns
=> #<A _id: 5dab1f7780256231d1bb6da8, >

Great, it's a new record, so i know a priori, that there are no b's, yet when I type:
a.bs

It fires off a mongo query:

This is maddening, is there any way to prevent this?  I'm doing this for millions of records, and it's firing all these unneeded queries.
Thanks for any help,

A: There is a use case for the behavior you are experiencing:
class A
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_many :bs, class_name: "B"
end

class B
    include Mongoid::Document
    belongs_to :a
end

a = A.create!(id: 1, bs: [B.new])
a.destroy
aa = A.new(id: 1)
aa.bs
# => [#<B _id: 5dacc787026d7c52b820f0c1, a_id: 1>]

You will most likely need to adjust your code to not query the association if you don't want it loaded. For example, if you are creating B instances, use B.new supplying the A rather than going through A.bs.

A: Mongoid actually can't know that there are no B's associated with your new A instance because B is storing the foreign key to A, not the other way around. (See the Mongoid Belongs To documentation.) It sounds like your schema isn't set up in the way you need it to be to perform these queries efficiently.
You could add an index on the a_id field in the B schema, which would make those queries faster, or you could rework your schema so that the foreign key is stored on the A model somehow.

New research warns of significant gap to be bridged from NSW's retiring coal
New research from Cornwall Insight Australia suggests that the transition to renewable energies in New South Wales needs to pick up the pace quick-smart if it is going to cover the soon-to-be-revealed gap made by retiring coal generators.

New Cornwall Insight Australia's research has compared renewable generation in NSW over the last four years to that of coal generators scheduled to exit the market by 2035. The results are stark: renewables contributed an average under 10% of total generation in NSW, while over the same period said coal generators averaged approximately 77%.
Lumi Adisa, Lead Consultant – Market Analysis and Business Development at Cornwall Insight Australia, said that these results are particularly troubling because the gap alternative technologies sill need to bridge over the next 10-15 years far exceeds any growth capabilities seen in the renewable sector so far.
However, this is no reason for NSW to be disparaged. Indeed, the most recent Clean Energy Outlook – Confidence Index from the Clean Energy Council (CEC) singled out NSW as being particularly attractive to investors thanks to the state government's clear strategy, particularly its recently amended laws allowing large-scale battery storage systems and its three pending renewable energy zones (REZs).
Late last month, the NSW Government's plan to deliver a 3 GW REZ in the state's Central-West was met with overwhelming investor interest and project proposals valued at $38 billion. The original plan was to deliver 3 GW of firmed renewable energy to the region, but the expressions of interest totalled 27 GW, prompting NSW Energy Minister Matt Kean to commit a further $31.6 million to the REZ.
"The NSW Government's strong and positive statements and clear strategy for the transition of the state from one that is highly dependent on coal-fired power to one that is an energy and economic superpower in a low-carbon economy was a key factor in increased investor confidence," said the CEC.
NSW has fast-tracked the Central West Renewable Energy Zone as its demonstrator project for coordinated development of renewable generation.

Adisa agrees, noting that the Central-West REZ represents a significant move to help bridge the gap. "NSW is also looking to improve its import capacity with ~3GW of interconnector expansions in various stages of regulatory approvals," said Adisa. "Other innovative models for network reinforcements within the state are also being planned in preparation for new generation seeking to connect."
At least at the level of state government policy then, NSW is doing what it can to bridge the looming gap in generation. However, as Cornwall Insight Australia's research highlights, the size of the gap is daunting, and significant infrastructural development is needed before renewable energies can start to make up ground in an equivalently significant manner.

9-year-old who wished for Christmas cards loses battle with cancer
Photo: Jacob Thompson's Journey
PORTLAND, Maine (WTXF/AP) - A 9-year-old Maine boy with cancer has died a week after his wish for a Christmas celebration was fulfilled.
Jacob Thompson's family announced on social media that he died Sunday at Maine Medical Center in Portland. His family thanked those who sent Christmas cards and prayers, saying they brought joy and encouragement to the boy and his family.
Jacob was admitted to the hospital in October after four years of battling neuroblastoma, a cancer that starts in the nerve cells and generally affects infants and young children.
He loved Christmas and asked for cards. The response was overwhelming. Cards poured in from around the world. Police organized a caravan for him. The University of Maine hockey team paid a visit.
Knowing time was short, his family held a Christmas celebration at the hospital earlier this month that was replete with a tree, gifts and a visit from Santa.
"You brought Jacob joy, and you brought us all optimism for the future. Thank you for taking the time, and taking an interest in our sweet boy's journey. Sadly, there are many others like him that we hope you will continue to help," the family wrote Monday on Facebook.
The boy loved penguins. His family urged people to make a donation to a penguin rescue group, Operation Gratitude "or pay it forward in your community."

Nat'l Assembly holds centennial ceremony
The National Assembly held a ceremony on April 10 to mark the centennial of the ROK's Provisional Assembly.
The event kicked off in the Main Building with an unveiling of two artworks commemorating the Provisional Assembly. Hanging upon a wall in the central hall were a calligraphy work of the Provisional Charter, drawn up by the Assembly, and the oldest known photo of the provisional legislature, taken at its sixth convocation.
After the salute to the national flag and singing of the national anthem, performances were held, including a re-enactment of the Provisional Assembly and a reading of the Provisional Charter. In the former, actors re-enacted a scene from the Provisional Assembly's first session, held on April 10, 1919. Then, the ten articles of the Charter were read by descendants of Provisional Assembly members, including Ms. Lee Gyeong-hui, a granddaughter of the first speaker, Mr. Lee Dong-nyeong; Ms. Kim Bok-saeng, granddaughter of Mr. Kim Dong-sam; and Member of the 14th National Assembly Lee Jong-chan and incumbent Assembly Member Lee Jong-kul, grandsons of Mr. Lee Hoe-yeong.
At the ceremony, Ms. Hong Chang-hyu, a granddaughter-in-law of the third Speaker of the Provisional Assembly Hong Jin, handed the official seal of the Provisional Assembly, which she has donated to the National Assembly, to Speaker Moon Hee-sang, who in turn presented her with an appreciation plaque. The seal had been used on official legislative documents, effectively serving as the state seal of the ROK from the day the Provisional Assembly opened until August 22, 1945, one week after the country was liberated from Japan.
Various cultural performances were staged as well, including the children's folk song choir Sanyuhwa singing Korean folk songs Hanobaengnyeon and Arirang; and the vocalist group Contempo Divo singing songs from the musical Hero.
The ceremony was attended by the heads of the five government bodies�National Assembly Speaker Moon Hee-sang, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Kim Myeong-su, President of the Constitutional Court of Korea Yoo Sam-seok, Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon, and Chairman of the National Election Commission Kwon Soon-il. Also attending were leaders of political parties, National Assembly members, former National Assembly speakers, ambassadors to the ROK, members of the ROK Parliamentarians' Society and the association of the Constituent Assembly members' families, and descendants of independence activists who had participated in the Provisional Assembly, including Speaker Hong Jin's family.

Has anyone tried these? This a no go?
Why dont you order the tin coated ones?
@dieselpwr Ok. I think I'll order both and salt test them. Is there any other tests that can be done to make sure the coating is safe?
Nice. Will do. I think I'll try 5 of each kind in all separate cups and see what happens. When you buy them they come in stacks of 10? It doesn't say on there site. I'm also watching @nothot to see what his does. It looks promising so far!
Yup they come in packets of 10 magnets. They douple coat the magnets so no holes should be left, they might all survive salt soap water so you have to visually pick the best one after soaking. Looks promising to me too!
Which finger are you planning to implant in?
Left hand ring finger. I'm a mechanic though so I'll need to make some time for healing... some how. Also where the heck can we get some lidocaine in the U.S.? I don't want to feel it. Haha.
I have no clue about lidocaine. haha i work by myself whit tractors, trucks, heavy duty stuff, and do a lots of physical work, my hands are always greasy and scarred lol.
First time i tried implanting was years ago and i only used salt&ice, rope really tight around the finger and left it for 10minutes in the ice salt mix and couldnt feel anything, im planning the same this time too, and alcohol for sterilising. Im going to implant to my index finger, idk if its going to get crushed but i think it would be more sensitive and practical in it.
Lame. I guess I could do a few tests and see if ice&salt does the trick.
Nice, the salt lowers the melting point of ice so its able to reach much lower temperatures than ice alone.
Also, your dog looks like my dog :).
Some people have higher pain tolerances, also if you use the ice for long enough it will be completely numb.
Heh, I'll tell you, I must not have been doing it right, then. It's not the cut that gets you, it's digging the pocket.
Haha I haven't tried the ice yet. I'll do it tonight after work. I ordered 2 sets of the SMM TiN yesterday. Stoked. I doubt I can go to my dentist and ask him for some. You muse know your dentist well. Or have one that doesn't care about his licence.
I wouldn't give a patient regulated mess if they asked. Just like I won't "open the dash and cut the light for the check engine light" so you can sell it for more. BTW it's harder to do that then fix the problem 99% of the time. @dieselpwr where did you get your implant tools from? Is it necessary to have more then a scalpel and tweezers(non-magnetic) and antiseptic, sutures of course. Most come with some pliers that I don't really care to have haha.
No, I don't know him particularly well, though I've known him for a long time. I told him I was putting together an emergency first aid kit due to being involved in a lot of community service activities (which was true). Lidocaine does require a prescription to buy, but it's not heavily regulated either. Low capacity for abuse, low risk.
Did you have anything like a rubber band or rope around the finger? Salt ice combined whit that numbed my finger to the point where i really couldnt tell if i was cutting the flesh. Ofc if you think its not enough you should think about the lidocaine but i dont think its worth the hassle of getting it.
I didn't use a band. I thought you put that on after. I guess I'll give it a try again. And I used rock salt.
@SimplyTom I found my lidocaine on cyberise.me. However, I think they're out of stock. Luckily I think dangerousthings.com's kit is still in stock. I was skeptical about using lidocaine at first for my implant but I'm glad I did.
I was just testing the ice to see if it would work as a numbing agent. I haven't received my magnets. I have some plastic tweezers and sterile scalpels but I'm just making sure it will all work out for me. I just want some iodine. Plus I've got a week of testing magnets or more. Depending on if the first set passes or not. How long till you equip your magnet?
Did you order parylene and tin coated ones? I bet that tin coated ones have only some that will fail salt soap water, and what do you mean by "how long till you equip your magnet?"
I think you will do good whit those tools.

Shahid Afridi expects to see two sides of Rohit Sharma as India's new T20I captain, has one advice for Virat Kohli
Former Pakistan all-rounder and skipper Shahid Afridi has given his take on the BCCI appointing Rohit Sharma as India's new T20Is captain and has an importance piece of advice for Virat Kohli.

Ever since Virat Kohli announced that he would step down as India's T20I captain after the T20 World Cup, it was only a matter of time before Rohit Sharma was announced as his successor. Vice-captain Rohit had been filling in for Virat with his captaincy duties during important tournaments such as the Nidahas Trophy and the Asia Cup in 2019, besides being a five-time IPL winning captain with Mumbai Indians.
In between, there were reports that Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul could be contenders given they are relatively and could be groomed to be a future long-term captain, but those assumptions were dispelled on Wednesday when the BCCI officially announced Rohit as captain of the T20I series against New Zealand.

Reacting to Rohit's appointment as captain, former Pakistan all-rounder and skipper Shahid Afridi said that he saw the announcement coming. Having played alongside Rohit in the first edition of the IPL way back in 2008, Afridi said Rohit should certainly be tried out as India's full-time captain and expects to see two different sides of the T20I team's new captain.
"As far as Rohit is concerned, this was on the cards. I have played with him for a year (at Deccan Chargers). He is an outstanding player with terrific shot selection. He stays relaxed where required and shows anger when needed to as well. We will see both sides. Like I said, this captaincy move was bound to happen. He should definitely be given a chance," Afridi said on Samaa TV.

Afridi weighed in on outgoing captain Virat Kohli's role, saying that it would not be the worst idea for the star India batter to give up captaincy in all formats and concentrate on his batting. Afridi feels it is not an easy task being captain of the Indian cricket team with all the scrutiny that comes with it and letting go the captaincy will help Kohli enjoy his batting a lot more.
"I think Virat should take the decision to continue as only a player. There will be relatively less pressure, he has played plenty of cricket too. He will enjoy his cricket and batting because captaining a team is not easy, especially in countries like India and Pakistan. As long as you are captaining well, things go smooth," added Afridi.

Innovating the Floating Offshore Wind industry
The Crosby Group's comprehensive portfolio, engineering expertise, and ability to innovate is driving cost-savings at the point of use in floating wind energy applications.
It has been nearly two years since The Crosby Group, a global leader in lifting, rigging, and material handling hardware, completed the acquisition of Feubo, a specialist provider of offshore mooring components for the oil and gas and wind energy markets.
The purchase included Feubo's facility in Hattingen, Germany that has continued to serve as a center of excellence for mooring components. It is equipped to support the installation and safe operation of floating wind turbines, typically mounted on a floating structure that allows the turbine to generate electricity in water depths where fixed-foundation turbines are not suitable.
The Hattingen facility is also a focal point for key testing, engineering, and innovation, that notably led to the launch of the HFL Kenter, a high fatigue life shackle, based on the popular Crosby Feubo NDur Link.
Mike Duncan, Business Development Manager at The Crosby Group, said: "The floating wind industry remains relatively embryonic, and it needs product engineering and innovation partners to collaborate on products that can improve safety and reduce costs. The HFL Kenter for temporary mooring is just an example of how a new product can be developed and broadly deployed within an industry to achieve industry goals."
As Duncan alluded to, the HFL Kenter is an accessory used for temporary and mobile mooring applications, such as rigging and anchoring Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) or vessels. It represents the latest state-of-the-art evolution of a shackle concept that is over 100 years old. Finite Element Analysis, a method of numerically solving differential equations in engineering and mathematical modelling, was used to identify stress hot spots and re-engineer the product.
He added: "In fatigue comparison tests in simulated marine environments, we were able to show that the Kenter boasts eight times more cycles. This has allowed us to show the floating wind sector our ability to engineer, innovate, and deliver product of high quality and proven fatigue life, for their specific, demanding applications."
Duncan reiterated the capabilities of The Crosby Group's center of excellence for mooring in Hattingen, Germany, which boasts static and dynamic testing machines that test mooring chains and components up to capacities of 60,000 kN, as well as fatigue testing in simulated marine environments. The facility can test and validate in real-time the fatigue life of components in association with DNV GL Type Approval Certificate, acknowledging that its equipment meets the rigorous standards of the global quality assurance and risk management company for their use offshore.
The Crosby Group is a global leader in the innovation, manufacturing and distribution of products and services used to make lifting and load securement safer and more efficient, with premier brands such as Crosby, Gunnebo Industries, Crosby Straightpoint, Crosby BlokCam, Acco, McKissick, Crosby Feubo, Crosby Airpes, Trawlex, Lebus, and CrosbyIP.
With global engineering, manufacturing, distribution and operations, the company provides a broad range of products and solutions for the most demanding applications with uncompromising quality that exceed industry standards. www.thecrosbygroup.com

The employment tribunal exists to make decisions about employment disputes. It's the case that almost all legal cases concerning employment are heard in employment tribunals.
If someone wants to make a claim against you they are initially required to go through the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) pre-claim conciliation process. So in the first instance you will be contacted by ACAS. They will work with both you and the claimant to try to solve the problem without it going to a tribunal.
The pit falls are many and varied, but if you are not experienced or aware of the procedures and timelines involved you can soon find yourself with a problem even though you may not have done anything wrong.
By filling out and returning the pack you will have been sent.
By downloading and filling in the response form and sending it to the tribunal office that's dealing with the case.
Be sure to read with care the response guidance before you fill the form out.
NB: You MUST respond to the claim within 28 days.
If you need more time to respond ask the tribunal as soon as you can. If you're late or you don't respond it's possible the tribunal will decide against you without a hearing.
Employment tribunal proceedings are expensive in terms of both time and money. Our service seeks to prevent them.
Such an occurrence can be prevented by providing and applying legally compliant procedures. Though of course, an employee may choose to exercise their right to place a claim before an employment tribunal.
If you find yourself in such a situation Go Legal take care of the preparation and submission of all relevant documentation on your behalf.
Choose Go Legal to give yourself the best chance of winning your case.


The news that US regulators are investigating crypto currency exchanges for illegal rigging activities should come as no surprise to anyone.
When you are in the Wild West, anything goes, and can go on for as long as no one pulls the plug on it.
But this particular move is all part of the worldwide efforts by regulators and central banks to bring some oversight and order to the crypto world. Think of the Wild West and how law and order came to it over a period once the abuses became so much that Washington got involved. The same is now happening with blockchain and crypto currencies – not a surprise to us at Scotcoin. We have been preaching about how regulation was coming and how this was a good thing for over two years now. Our new permissioned blockchain will handle all these requirements as a prerequisite.
What this also emphasises is how right we were to be happy to remove from Bittrex. The total speculation and pump and dump culture had no part in what we have been building.
There are still people who view cryptos as get rich quick schemes. Indeed I was looking at some exchanges on our Twitter (which please follow!) where someone was looking to buy something he could rapidly sell at a profit. That is actually counterproductive in terms of the evolution of digital currencies. If people are to have trust in them, they have to be sure of the value at any given point. Arguably, the worst offender is Bitcoin – A year ago $1000, Christmas $20,000, now $6500. How on earth can any business plan its forward sales and cash flows dealing with that?
Ideally you want a very slow and steady increase in price over time. Most people will by now have forgotten the German "Wirtschaftswunder" (Economic Miracle) of the 1950s ,60s and 70s. It is a given nowadays that Germany is one of the pre-eminent economies in the world. Not so after WW2 and into the early 60's. Ludwig Erhard – the then German Economics Minister, equivalent to our Chancellor of the Exchequer – believed there was a way to guarantee economic growth. It wasn't quantitative easing on a grand scale (as people seem to believe erroneously nowadays). He believed that what gave business the confidence to invest and grow was certainty. So he said categorically that the money supply would grow at 2% pa for the foreseeable future – no more and no less. And he stuck to that religiously for 20 odd years. He was so successful he ended up as German Chancellor.
We at Scotcoin have the same philosophy. We don't want ups and downs destroying trade. We want trade to grow and grow with confidence, in the way that the German economy grew mightily from the 1950's onward. If we could replicate that in Scotland we would, as the saying goes, be quids in.

The High Desert by James Spooner
A formative coming-of-age graphic memoir by the creator of Afro-punk: a young man's immersive reckoning with identity, racism, clumsy teen love and belonging in an isolated California desert, and a search for salvation and community through punk.
Apple Valley, California, in the late eighties, a thirsty, miserable desert.
Teenage James Spooner hates that he and his mom are back in town after years away. The one silver lining—new school, new you, right? But the few Black kids at school seem to be gangbanging, and the other kids fall on a spectrum of micro-aggressors to future Neo-Nazis. Mixed race, acutely aware of his Blackness, James doesn't know where he fits until he meets Ty, a young Black punk who introduces him to the school outsiders—skaters, unhappy young rebels, caught up in the punk groundswell sweeping the country.
A haircut, a few Sex Pistols, Misfits and Black Flag records later: suddenly, James has friends, romantic prospects, and knows the difference between a bass and a guitar. But this desolate landscape hides brutal, building undercurrents: a classmate overdoses, a friend must prove himself to his white supremacist brother and the local Aryan brotherhood through a show of violence. Everything and everyone are set to collide at one of the year's biggest shows in town...
Weaving in the Black roots of punk rock and a vivid interlude in the thriving eighties DIY scene in New York's East Village, this is the memoir of a budding punk, artist, and activist.
Hardcover, 368 pages, 7 x 9 inches
Published by Harper Collins.

By popular demand, the Rio Grande Foundation is bringing Schweikart back to Albuquerque for a return engagement to discuss his new book Reagan, the American President.
In Reagan, New York Times #1 bestseller Larry Schweikart examines Reagan's life through the lens of a conservative scholar who understands Reagan's goals, intentions, and motivations. Through previously unseen administration documents, Schweikart reveals Reagan's revolutionary initiative to create a North American energy zone (the forerunner to NAFTA), his role in crafting the Simpson-Mazzoli Act years before it passed, and the internal battles in his administration to press his economic recovery act through.

When: May 8, 2019, 12:00 noon to 1:00pm.
Cost: Seating is limited and can be purchased at the discounted price of $30 until Wednesday, May 1, 2019; $40 after the 1st.
Books: Copies of Schweikart's book will be available for purchase and signing.
Larry Schweikart, a native Arizonian, went to Arizona State University and received a BA in Political Science, then went on the road with several different rock bands, opening for such 60s/70s acts as Steppenwolf and the James Gang. He abruptly decided he wanted to be a history professor, and received an MA from ASU in history, then a Ph.D. from University of California, Santa Barbara.

The Mountain Home VAMC Campus is located outside of Johnson City, TN and serves nearly 200,000 veterans living in Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. Valiant Construction, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, is the general contractor. The IFS project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2017.

Chef Frank Farmer
We are pleased to welcome back Frank Farmer for his second year as head chef here at McGraw's. Frank is a veteran chef who apprenticed in Buffalo, New York and Nello Buti, Italy. After apprenticing, he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Food Service Management from the esteemed Johnson & Wales University, alma mater of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse.
Like Lagasse, Farmer hails from Buffalo, New York and has tenaciously gone after his culinary dreams. Around Purdue University, Farmer is best known as the Frank of Famous Franks, a popular late night food truck business.
Farmer was the head of the McGraw's kitchen crew for two years in the early 2000's before he made the decision to pursue opportunities as chef to Purdue fraternities and sororities. As Frank settles back into the kitchen, he continues McGraw's decadent tradition of steaks, seafood, and chops while bringing back favorite creations such as Jack Daniel's Teriyaki tips- recently named "favorite dish" at the 2012 March of Dimes Signature Chef auction.
We are pleased to have such a well-established chef on our staff and we're sure you'll be grateful too once you try one of his sumptuous creations.

Seattle council approves sweeping police accountability legislation
On Monday afternoon, the Seattle City Council passed a hefty piece of legislation designed to push for more transparency, and issue a reform of the checks and balances at the Seattle Police Department.
Author: Chris Daniels, Natalie Swaby
The legislation will include a civilian led Office of Professional Accountability (OPA) and civilian Office of Inspector General, which will be an independent auditor and monitor of the police department. The OPA would have a chance to investigate individual complaints about the police.

The legislation also creates a Community Police Commission.
Seattle's Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole and Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes have both expressed concerns about creating more government process in the department.
Kevin Stuckey, president of Seattle Police Officers' Guild, said he does not want to impede anything.
"It this is what the community wants, they have a say-so in how they are being policed," Stuckey said. "I'm just here to say let's play by the rules. As long as we play by the rules, by the state law, I'm in like I've always been because this is my community too."
Councilmember Lorena Gonzalez said she's been working for 12 years on police reform, "ever since graduating from law school."
Gonzalez hopes the legislation can be implemented and people hired by the end of this year.
However, it's unclear how the legislation will be fit into current collective bargaining with the Seattle Police Guild. A federal judge also still needs to approve it.
Gonzalez said the ordinance has already included nine total committee meetings and two public hearings.

AMID the collapse of the peace talks between the government and the communists, President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday, November 27, floated the possibility of creating an "own" Sparrow Unit similar to the infamous hit squad of the New People's Army (NPA).
Duterte, in a speech delivered in Carmen, Bohol, expressed his intent to form his own "Sparrow" that will "assassinate" the NPA, armed wing of the communists.
Sparrow, also known as the Special Partisan Unit (Sparu), is the NPA's urban hit squad.
Admitting that the Philippine troops could be easily defeated by the NPA's Sparrow unit, the Commander-in-Chief said he would create a body that would be called "Duterte Death Squad Against the Sparrow" to match the communist insurgents' fighting skills.
"One of these days, I'll be forced also to create my own Sparrow. Walang hanapin kung hindi yung mga nag-stand by na tao diyan suspected as NPAs at bibirahin rin sila (My own unit will have to look for idlers suspected as NPAs, and they will be assaulted)," Duterte said during his visit to Camp Rajah Sikatuna in Bohol.
"Makakuha ka lang ng isa dalawa, maka-identify na, 'Iyan sir, kasama namin,' okay na iyan (If you find one, two identified by someone as a member of NPA, that would be fine). I will match their talent also of assassinating people. May armas iyan sigurado. 'Yun ang balak ko (They are probably armed so that's my plan)," he added.
Duterte's remarks came amid the apprehension of leaders of the National Democratic Front (NDF), political arm of the communist party, to return home to hold an informal dialogue with the Philippine officials to pave the way for the possible resumption of talks.
The President lamented that the communist insurgents refused to heed his call for a successful peace negotiations, despite his administration's efforts to "make peace with them."
"I'm trying to make peace with them, ayaw nila. Tapos pinagpapatay 'yung mga pulis pati sundalo ko. So ngayon, ang kulang talaga, 'yung mga Sparrow ko din. Diyan lang sila nakakalamang. So mag-create ako Sparrow -- Duterte Death Squad against the Sparrow," he said.
Amid his plan, Duterte warned the military and the police against the communist rebels, stressing that they are "no match" with the NPA's Sparrow unit.
He added that he gave the government forces side arms, as a protection against the communists.
"You are no match with the NPAs na mga Sparrow. There was a time na maski walang armas ang sundalo 'pag sakay ng truck, 'pag uwi, pinag-babaril parang aso. So I decided, sabi ko, armasan ko kayo para pag-labas ninyo, malakas ang loob ninyo," Duterte said.
"Do not be reckless. Dalawa... Ang una niyan is talagang papatayin. Kalaban ka eh. Pangalawa, yung baril niyan. Mainit masyado iyan. Ngayon, halos may cellphone man kayo, if you are in a place, in the house, or attending parties like that, be careful because they're on trail," he added.
