We're three months into the new year, and that means there's still plenty of time to tackle your 2018 goals of improving your home. Home performance upgrades are some of the best improvements you can make to your home this year. These upgrades not only conserve energy and improve home comfort but also boost home value and lower monthly energy bills. Here is a look at four home performance upgrades to consider as you do "out with the old and in with the new" in 2018.
Many homes from western Massachusetts contain old, dirty, or inefficient insulation. If you want to improve home performance, it's important to remove any old or dirty insulation that is compromising your home's energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Because old insulation may contain contaminants and harmful substances such as asbestos, insulation removal is a job best left to a professional.
Air sealing is one of the most commonly overlooked improvements by Massachusetts homeowners, yet it can significantly improve home comfort and efficiency. When done right, air sealing eliminates holes and cracks that allow air to seep into and out of the home. This prevents drafts, reduces home energy consumption, and makes indoor temperatures more consistent. Air sealing is a key step that should take place before new insulation installation.
Once air leaks have been properly sealed, having new, high efficiency insulation installed will create a thermal barrier around your home's living spaces. This thermal barrier will keep indoor warmth inside during the winter and block summer heat out during the summer, improving indoor comfort year-round. As you plan to re-insulate, be sure to work with a contractor who will install high performance materials such as spray foam and cellulose.
Have your heating bills been astronomically high this winter? It could be due to an older or inefficient heating system. Today's heating units offer exceptionally high energy efficiency, meaning that upgrading your old unit before it breaks down completely could offer you major energy savings along with significantly improved home comfort.
Whether you live in the Pioneer Valley, east in Worcester County, or west in the Berkshires, the Energia experts can handle all of these home performance upgrades and more. Through an energy audit, we'll find out exactly what is detracting from your home's performance and then recommend effective solutions to help you improve your home the right way in 2018.
Better home performance can be yours in 2018. Call (413) 322-3111 or contact us to schedule an energy audit!


The A9home's small footprint appears to be conjuring up all sorts of interesting ideas in the minds of RISC OS DIY hardware enthusiasts. The diminutive, low power machine with its ARM9 chipset seems to be ideal for tucking away into a small space to perform some useful function, without you knowing that a computer is behind it.
One project idea we were recently pointed to is based on the MacVroom website, where Apple computer users who have entwined their PowerPC powered machines with their cars can show off their work. As well as assigning their computers to GPS navigation and MP3 and DVD in-car player duties, some Mac Mini users have taken it one step further and matched paint jobs and interiors with their computer kit. Although spraying your ride with the A9home's 'cobalt blue' might hopefully be against a few style laws, the potential is certainly there for A9home owners to try novel DIY projects with their machines.
AdvantageSix's Matt Edgar agreed that lashing an A9home up as an in-car MP3 jukebox "would make a great project for an end-user". One presumes this is once sound output in the A9home is finished, although other projects could include satellite navigation, with suitable software.
He said: "The A9home is a good starting point for a simple solution because of its single, low-voltage, low-power input, rugged case and portable hard drive This is something I have toyed with doing myself, but I honestly don't have the time for personal projects right now.
"I might be able to offer some of my time to help someone who was wanting to do this though. Obviously this would be subject to my availability and there not being any overlap with commercial projects."
The A9 range is no stranger to embedded and pervasive computing. Other computers from AdvantageSix include the A9loc, which features an 8.4" LCD screen, GPS, mobile telecommunications and can be mounted on a wall.
Let us know if you have an interesting RISC OS hardware project planned for the summer.
When I first seen the pics of the A9home I wondered how easy it would be to turn it into some sort of Ipod thing.
Indeed in the abscence of a RISC OS laptop the A9Home would probably make quite a good GPS/Satnav unit.
GPS modules are widely available and even hand held units (with serial port) are available that could be pressed into such use with A9Home. Garmin (and other makes) in addition to proprietary data sequences can be persuaded to spit out NMEA code (basically fairly easy to read ASCII) the task of generating routes, waypoints and maps on the A9 would then be a programming task. The data rates from the units are pretty low (AFAIK 9600 bps, with the co-ordinates updated at approximately 1 second intervals, no need for USB 2 here folks !!!!).
With the GPS they do an A9LOC with GPS and an 8.4 inch touchscreen, so would that not be a better starting point?
Revin Kevin> It might well be - but I suspect it would cost somewhat more. Additionally if it's something that is done "to order" it may not have all the functionality of an A9Home (it may not need all the RISC OS modules - or hard disk or whatever). I don't know the spec of the A9loc - but if it is a wall/bulkhead mounted panel it may not necessarily be as convenient (or cheap) as an A9Home.
But perhaps there's a middle ground - perhaps Ad6 can be persuaded to make the software component of that unit available as an upgrade and allow the user to source their own GPS ? (chances are the data format used is NMEA in which case more or less any GPS unit could be used).
One place the A9home could be ideal, is in a recording studio. Firstly and mostly because it is quiet and by that I mean really quiet, since there isn't a fan making any noise. Secondly it is portable and robust in build, thirdly it boots fast and as such is immediately useable.
In reply to AMS what you wrote makes sense, as long as it does not infringe any agreements they have.
They could perhaps have the GPS componant as an add on, if cost effective.
Are there any pictures from this A9Loc ? Is it running on RISC OS 4 or RISC OS 5? Is the LCD screen with the A9Loc in color ? What are the exact differences between those two ?
datawave: No pictures of A9Loc that I'm aware of - I think that it's a design style around which individual companies have based their individual requirements and orders. As I understand it it runs whatever each purchasing company requires which, so far, appears to have been a sub-set of RO4 - hence the reason the move from A9Loc to A9home has required further development of RO4 to give us the full desktop environment. It certainly doesn't run RO5.
That's a great idea!!! You should definitely do that .
Not all SatNav software runs on Poket PC. The market leader, Tom Tom, has a version for Pocket PC and Palm OS, and The Tom Tom Go standalone non-PDA unit, uses Linux t avoid the MS licence fees. So there is a high degree of portability, you'd just have to convince them there was a big enough market.
Funny you should mention putting an A9 in an A4 case, because about 3 years ago I was working on that. OK, so it was to be a custom ARM7500FE board instead of an A9, but the principle holds. I sorted out driving the mono A4 screen (see [link] ), the keyboard wouldn't have been too difficult (see [link] for the layout), and battery management could have been done with a bit of work (and an off-the-shelf charge controller from Maxim or similar). The same all applies to the A9, though I doubt the A9 could drive the rather strange A4 mono LCD panel without some extra logic, and I've yet to see whether the SM501's LCD outputs are wired anywhere. The A9 however is too large for the A4 case However it would be possible to design another carrier board to take Simtec's ARM9-onna-stick (you'd have to buy an A9 first to get the RISC OS licence anyway) that fit in the A4 case. With a bit of case fiddling you might get a colour LCD in there, but not more than 9" since that's the size of the case.
In reply to caliston2: Ofcourse you have to put in a brandnew motherboard, which can handle a 9" inch LCD Color screen. A larger battery capacity with more working hours than the original one and nowadays is everything possible, to cram somuch in am A9home, so why not in a A4 case. And also with more possibilities in outputs as well, such like a printer input and scsi-2 input.
Centronics/parallel interfaces are old hat these days, Most printer manufacturers prefer to use USB and you should have noticed that parallel ports are becoming harder and harder to find on a printer as they are being 'phased out'.
If you wanted SCSI on an A9 you may want to get someone to do some work on a USB->SCSI interface. Although I'm not quite sure why home user would want to mess about with SCSI these days (except for maybe, oldskool scanners).
A few years ago I saw a demo of a machine (I don't think it was from sonosite) that ran on windows. IOt crashed a lot and also when rebotted took ages to get to the software. Ther consultants said "Nice idea but the booting of it delays the rounds too long". I thought of RISC OS and speed of booting. Now if only?
PS sorry in advance if my spellingis poor or my grammer is bad.

With ten new cases this weekend, Tufts issues new Covid-19 restrictions on on-campus students
By adamg on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 8:30pm
The Tufts Daily reports the university today told students attending classes in person that they can only leave their dorms - or off-campus apartments - to "attend class, seek medical care, go to or from their jobs, pick up food, get a COVID-19 test or exercise outdoors."
In e-mail to students, Tufts officials say the new diagnoses are making them think that "not all students may be adhering to the existing restrictions intended to limit the spread of the virus."
The Tufts Covid-19 dashboard shows 19 students in isolation at the Medford/Somerville campus because they've tested positive for the virus and another 70 in quarantine because they've been in close enough contact with people who have tested positive that they themselves now have to stay inside while they await their own test results.

Increasing Testing Frequency
By anon on Mon, 11/16/2020 - 8:02pm.
As you know from several recent communications, we are seeing an increase in the number of COVID positive cases on the Medford/Somerville campus and an increase in the number of close contacts for each positive case. We are writing to inform you of additional measures we are taking to help control the spread of COVID-19.
Effective tomorrow, we will be increasing the frequency of testing for all students on the Medford/Somerville and SMFA campuses. Those who are currently being tested twice a week will be tested every other day. Those who are currently being tested once per week will now be tested twice a week. Compliance will be monitored and those found not in compliance will be referred to the Dean of Student Affairs Office for disciplinary review.
It is important to note that we have seen no evidence of spread in classrooms, and our contact tracing has indicated that we have not had any clusters on campus. Rather, the number of cases on our Medford/Somerville campus is rising along with increasing numbers of cases across the state, though our positive rate remains significantly lower. The increase in testing frequency that we are announcing today will allow us to catch cases even earlier and further protect our communities.
In addition to this increase in testing frequency on the Medford/Somerville and SMFA campuses, we want to reiterate the guidelines we provided yesterday.
The only times you are expected to leave your residence hall or off-campus apartment are to:
attend class, study in the library or designated study space, or perform work in a laboratory or art studio;
pick up food;
go outside for physically distanced exercise;
seek medical care;
obtain your COVID test; and
go to or from employment.
Do not leave your residence hall or apartment to attend social events, gatherings, or parties.
We appreciate your commitment to this new testing schedule and the additional guidance about appropriate times to leave your residence. As we have said previously, adhering closely to these new guidelines affords us the greatest chance to maintain our current campus life. Should the number of COVID-19 cases or the number of students in quarantine due to close contact continue to increase substantially, we will have to consider additional restrictions in order to protect the health and safety of our community.

Message From Tufts - Draconian
The number of COVID cases on our campus in the past week has increased substantially. As of this afternoon, 10 new cases were identified over the weekend.
More concerning than the number of COVID cases is the number of individuals who have been identified as close contacts. This means that some students may not be fully observing the parameters needed to contain spread.
As a consequence of these increasing numbers, the following guidance is being put into effect immediately until further notice.
Attend class, study in the library or designated study space, or perform work in a laboratory;
Obtain your COVID test;
Go to or from employment
Beginning tomorrow, the gym will be closed for all recreational use. Athletic training will continue at a physical distance with ongoing emphasis on physical distancing and mask wearing.
Some students have expressed an increased sense of safety because they participate in COVID-19 surveillance testing and thus have gathered in larger numbers than is allowed and have been lax in adherence to physical distancing and mask wearing requirements. This may be due to a false sense of security, perhaps feeling protected by their negative test results, but this is inaccurate. We need to underscore that negative tests do not provide protection from COVID spread. The tests are intended to identify students who have COVID-19 and to isolate them from the larger community as quickly as possible to minimize spread.
Now more than ever, it is imperative that you follow these guidelines diligently:
Wear masks at all times except while in your bedroom, while grooming or eating. Note that while eating, it is imperative that you are 6 or more feet away from anyone around you.
Wear masks and practice physical distancing when in common areas of your residence hall or apartment at all times including while in the bathroom unless you are grooming.
If you cannot maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others in a room or common area, you cannot stay in that room.
Bedrooms are for personal use. Do not have visitors in your bedroom. Suitemates should only share common areas.
Do not gather in groups larger than 10 people, regardless of whether you and others are wearing masks.
Wash or sanitize your hands frequently, but especially when leaving and returning to your residence and before removing your mask
If you feel unwell, stay in your residence hall or apartment. Call Student Health Service (617-627-3350).
Maintain your COVID-19 surveillance test schedule.
Refamiliarize yourself with Tufts policies and public health information.
Our communication has been and will remain transparent. However, we will never identify the health status of specific students to protect their privacy and comply with HIPAA.
If you are identified as a close contact of an individual who has tested positive, you will be contacted by a contact tracer who will advise you about quarantine. Living in the same building or on the same floor with someone who has tested positive does not mean that you are a close contact. In addition, one or two cases within a particular residence does not constitute an outbreak. At present, there is no one residence hall associated with a majority of cases.
Agree - its teaching mandatory compliance
By anon on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 6:28pm.
to arbitrary guidelines made by people who react with fear first.
Those "isolation trailers" on the tennis courts look objectively like jail to anyone.
And unconnected Flu fears are being stoked too. How is this a logical justification for requiring an invasion of my personal bodily autonomy? : "Getting sick with the flu is not something one would want to risk during a pandemic". And from a previous email: "We expect the number of exemptions to be very low." Now read it again with a German accent. Scary stuff.
"11-6-20
The flu vaccine is required of all undergraduate and graduate students studying in-person, as per an order by Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker. Tufts is requiring that you get the vaccine even if you are a student over age 30, which is a higher standard than set by Massachusetts, because we feel that influenza vaccination is a critical strategy for protecting our community and preserving healthcare resources during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
We have asked you to get your flu shot no later than November 19.
You can still:
Sign up for flu clinics held at Tufts http://go.tufts.edu/fluclinic; or
Go to a local pharmacy and submit documentation of your vaccine to Health Service via the secure patient portal.
We encourage getting a flu shot as soon as possible. Getting sick with the flu is not something one would want to risk during a pandemic and it takes a couple of weeks for the vaccine to achieve maximum effectiveness.
If you do not get vaccinated by our requested deadline, you will have to get a flu shot before January or you will not be able to study in-person during the Spring semester.
Thank you for your efforts to stay healthy and keep others safe as well.

13 Quiet Motorcycles Your Neighbor Will Love (With Pictures)
January 24, 2023 January 24, 2023 / By Michael Thomas / Motorcycles
Motorcycles tend to be loud–for some; it's part of the charm.
But for those who live in residential areas, a quiet motorcycle is much more likely to keep the neighbors, roommates, and family happy and out of your biker business.
Not all quiet bikes are electric, although EV motorcycles tend to be the quietest.
This article showcases some of the quietest gas-powered motorcycles and a few electric ones.
1. Kawasaki Ninja 400
2. Kawasaki Concourse 14
3. BMW R1200 GS
4. Honda Rebel 500
5. Honda NC750X
6. Honda CB500X
7. BMW K 1600 B
8. BMW S 1000 XR
9. Honda ST1300
10. Indian Scout Series
What Are the Quietest Motorcycles Ever Made?
Honda Gold Wing (Gas-Powered)
Horwin CR6 Pro (Electric)
Can You Make Any Motorcycle Quiet?
The Ninja 400's stock exhaust system generates 71.5 dB at idle; 84.5 dB at 5000 RPM.
The Kawasaki Ninja 400 has an aggressive aesthetic just like its track curve-eating older brothers, but its 399cc engine is tuned for entry-level riders, with a max output of 44 horsepower.
Its mild-mannered tuning and smooth handling make it a great bike to learn on for anyone seeking to avoid a loud starter bike, particularly those seeking to stick with the sportbike genre.
The Ninja 400 is quiet, thanks to its efficient yet bulky stock exhaust system. While the engine delivers a sharp roar at the top of the RPM range, it's throaty and exciting rather than piercing or annoying.
Read more about how fast 400cc bikes go if you're interested in buying a Ninja 400 or its competitors.
We couldn't track down decibels for the Concours 14, but myriad videos online showcase its quiet sound, both while idling and under throttle input.
The legendary sport tourer is known for its reliability, comfort, and adaptability around town and long-distance highway riding. It's built out like a beast, which is why it handles the highway so efficiently.
That said, with its responsive handling and 100.5 foot-pounds of torque output, the Concours 14 is an easy ride, great for riders looking for a quiet and dependable classic they can travel on.
While the Concours 14 ZG1400 may be a beefy torque monster, its fine-tuned exhaust inhibits its noise, making it a quiet bike residential neighbors can tolerate.
Consumer tests show the BMW R1200 GS produces 56 dB at idle and 85-87 dB under throttle input, making it one of the quietest bikes available.
The BMW R1200 GS is a large and in-charge touring motorcycle capable of exploring anywhere on the road.
It stocks a four-stroke engine capable of at least 98 horsepower in the 7k RPM range.
The R1200 GS integrates the signature Beamer comfort, handling, and power with the innovative modern technology that BMW Motorrad offers, including a quiet, performance-oriented exhaust package that lives up to the German brand's "luxury motorcycle" reputation.
The Honda Rebel has a signature exhaust growl that's smooth and soft as its engine is efficient. An average exhaust output of 85-90 decibels makes it an excellent option for a beginner rider who wants a quiet motorcycle.
The Honda Rebel 500 is the quintessential beginner's cruiser. It has a 471 cc twin engine that puts out about 45 horsepower, enough to let a rider on a learning curve juice the throttle and master shifting and high-end riding without being intimidating.
Additionally, the Honda Rebel is a cheap and reliable option, lasts a long time, and is accessible for service and upgrade. For more on their reliability, check out our article about how long the Honda Rebel lasts.
Furthermore, the Honda Rebel's engine is as quiet as it is smooth. It maintains enough of a growl to sound interesting without being aggressive or intrusive. Honda tunes the Rebel 500 motor to manage its vibrations and pops, keeping the noise and rattle to a minimum.
Producing 84 dB at 3,000 RPMS and 91 at 5000, the NC750X makes a good choice for riders who want a reliable mild-mannered motorcycle fit for any riding style.
The NC750X is a quiet bike ideal for riders of all skill levels looking for a bike they can ride in almost any situation.
Its luggage capacity, windshield, and bodywork make it an excellent choice for long-distance riding, and its elegant frame and agile handling make it a great around-town ripper.
The NC750X stocks a 750cc engine that packs more than enough power to move its light wet weight of 472 pounds, but its efficient engine tuning and snappy exhaust keep engine rattling and pipe noise down to a level your neighbors will love.
The Honda CB500X has a quiet exhaust output perfect for residential riding, outputting just 80 dB at 3,000 RPMs and 86 at 5,000 RPM.
It's the latest take on the CB500 legacy, which has been one of the world's most famous street café racers.
That said, debuting in 2013, the CB 500X is a dual sport adventure bike version of the classic CB line.
Its efficient and reliable 500cc engine not only provides all the power a dual sport of this caliber requires without being overtly rowdy on the pickup, making it an excellent bike for riders to cultivate their on/off-road riding habits on.
The CB500X's Honda-designed engine and exhaust package work together to reduce noise and vibration to a level that won't distract you from the road… or trail.
If you want to know more about how fast the CB500X and others like it go, we wrote an article about how fast 500cc bikes go.
The BMW K 1600 B has a unique, ultra-refined exhaust system and inline six-cylinder engine design, making it so quiet riders have to check if the motorcycle is on.
The K 1600 B is a luxury touring motorcycle capable of 160 horsepower.
Despite its roomy, luggage-ready build, the K1600 handles better than bikes half its size, thanks to BMW Motorrad's famously advanced engineering, aimed towards producing the most luxurious bikes on the market. Here's what The Drive has to say about the bike:
The K 1600 B will raise your pulse and force ear-to-ear smiles. It pulls hard and quick, a thoroughbred shooting out the gates at the Kentucky Derby. It's character is very different than the cacophony of V-Twins echoing through the Black Hills; the exhaust note on the K 1600 B is more sporty, and whines at as it spools up to full throttle. What it lacks in bass, it makes up for in pure performance and a near silent, vibration-free ride when cruising along at 85mph in sixth gear.
In 2020, BMW refined the already luxury-focused S1000 XR model's liquid-cooled engine to reduce engine vibrations and exhaust noise output to as low as 50-57 dB in idle.
The S 1000 XR is a tour-ready, comfort-oriented sport bike capable of 160 horsepower and rapid sport-style acceleration, despite all its luggage space and passenger capability.
Furthermore, BMW didn't let its sporty design get in the way of its legendary luxury factor, making it the perfect choice for riders who want a high-performing machine without sacrificing their comfort and rideability or their neighbor and passengers' eardrums.
Please also read our article about whether BMW motorcycles are good for beginners.
The Honda ST1300 Pan European was a sport touring motorcycle stocked with a longitudinal liquid-cooled V4 engine and shaft-driven drivetrain, which worked together to keep its noise so quiet that it was barely audible to the rider.
The Indian Scout's sealed, liquid-cooled motor generates less than 82 dB of exhaust noise, even under high-speed throttle input.
The Indian Scout series are medium-sized cruisers available in a standard cruiser or bobber-styled packages. Both feature a sealed, liquid-cooled V-Twin engine, ether 999cc or 1133 cc.
The closed engine design reduces vibration and engine racket. Its baffled stock exhaust design silences this torquey little beast without sacrificing power, making it one of the quietest yet most powerful medium cruisers to come out of the United States.
Here are our top two picks for most quiet gas-powered and EV (Electric Vehicle) motorcycles:
With an engine that outputs less than 80 dB under throttle at highway speeds, the Gold Wing's Honda-car-style motor and ultra-refined exhaust system make it the quietest gas-powered bike most of us have ever ridden.
The Honda Gold features 1833, six-cylinder engine built more like a car motor than one fit for a bike.
In addition to its well-established and reliable performance, this six-cylinder motor is as efficient and quiet as a modern Honda sedan.
Gold Wing owners report that they can leave their houses without their neighbors or significant others having any idea that they've gone, thanks to the low noise and vibrations the Gold Wing emits.
Many sources consider the Horwin CR6 Pro the quietest Electric motorcycle available, which says a lot considering that all electric bikes make less noise than gas-powered motos.
The CR6 Pro is a great first bike for riders curious about electric bikes, even if they've no prior experience on two wheels.
Not only does it have a stylish classic look with a modern twist, but it also got a lightweight of just 295 pounds, a 93-mile range per charge, and a full-recharge time of just four hours, all available for one of the lowest price tags in the EV bike scene.
Furthermore, in a sea of soundless Electric motorcycles, the Horwin CR6 Pro is celebrated by the most reputable sources as the quietest. Or, as Forbes.com puts it:
… with four colorways to choose from (white, black, blue, green), the CR6 is a bike that you can ride right out of your garage without waking up your neighbors. One of the only bikes on this list with an electric motor combined with a mechanical 5-speed manual transmission, this bike is easy to maneuver around town. And, with an EBS disc brake system, even easier to stop and take in the sights along the way.
You can make a motorcycle quiet by adjusting your exhaust with heat-expanding, sound-absorbing packing material pipe wraps. Or, you can upgrade your tailpipes to dual-chamber or fiberglass resonator mufflers or add baffles or silencers.
That said, changing or altering your exhaust pipes requires retaining both the fuel and intake ratios on many bikes; if you're not sure what we mean by that, we suggest you get your pipes adjusted or swapped out by a pro mechanic.
Furthermore, if you're here because your exhaust pipes seem to be getting louder over time, they may need just a good cleaning service.
Not only does a clear exhaust lead to more efficient engine performance and fuel mileage, but dirt build-up and holes caused by damage or corrosion allow air to escape, increasing the decibels of your exhaust's sound output.
Finally, there are various noise-canceling helmets available on the modern moto market that can keep your ears protected from traffic, wind, and motorcycle sounds, although this won't do much to help your neighbors.

Titans Defeat Eagles To Secure At Least A Share Of WIAC Crown
UW-La Crosse
UW-Oshkosh
UW-La Crosse (20-4, 9-4 WIAC) 19 18 13 12 62
UW-Oshkosh (21-3, 11-2 WIAC) 16 17 20 18 71
UW-Oshkosh has won the WIAC title twice in the past three years and 13 times overall.
Pts: Carly Coulthart - 15
Reb: Kendra Leis - 5
Pts: Olivia Campbell - 15
Reb: Isabella Samuels - 7
Ast: Melanie Schneider - 5
UW-Oshkosh earned at least a share of the WIAC women's basketball championship with a 71-62 victory over UW-La Crosse as Olivia Campbell scored a career-high 15 points, Isabella Samuels 14 and Chloe Pustina 11 during a matchup of nationally ranked teams Wednesday (Feb. 13) in Kolf Sports Center.
UW-Oshkosh (21-3, 11-2 WIAC), ranked 15th in the NCAA Division III by D3hoops.com, did not trail after reclaiming a 43-41 lead on a layup from Pustina with 5:03 left in the third quarter. UW-La Crosse tied the score for the sixth and final time at 58 with just under six minutes remaining the final period, but the Titans outscored the Eagles, 13-4, the rest of the way.
UW-La Crosse (20-4, 9-4 WIAC), the 24th-ranked team in the country, committed three turnovers and shot just 1-for-5 from the field and 1-for-4 at the free throw line during the final five minutes of the game.
UW-Oshkosh has a one-game lead over defending champion UW-Whitewater (17-7, 10-3 WIAC) in the league standings with one contest to play. The Titans can secure the outright conference championship with a win at home over UW-Eau Claire (13-11, 4-9 WIAC) on Saturday (Feb. 16). With Wednesday's win the Titans clinched at least a share of their league-leading 13th WIAC title and second in the past three seasons. No other conference program has won more than 10 regular season championships.
Campbell eclipsed her previous career high of 13 points by shooting 6-for-11 from the field and 2-for-2 at the free throw line.
Samuels went 5-for-8 from the floor and led all players with a season high-tying seven rebounds while Pustina made a trio of 3-point baskets, dished out three assists and recorded two steals. Samuels went into Wednesday leading the WIAC with a .673 field goal percentage.
The balanced UW-Oshkosh offense featured 10 different scorers, including seven points apiece from Nikki Arneson and Melanie Schneider, and six – all in the fourth quarter – from reserve Jessie Rabas. Schneider had a game-high five assists and Arneson collected a pair of steals.
UW-Oshkosh concluded the game shooting 48.1 percent (25-52) from the field, 38.1 percent (8-21) from 3-point range and 68.4 percent (13-19) at the free throw line. The Titans held advantages of 30-25 in rebounds and 15-5 in assists. Both teams committed 13 turnovers.
The Titans, who surrendered more than 60 points for just the fifth time this season, entered the contest ranked seventh in the country by allowing just 48.7 points per game. UW-Oshkosh was also leading the WIAC in field goal percentage (.426), turnovers per game (13.4), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.11) and average scoring margin (+18.3).
UW-La Crosse shot 46.8 percent (22-47) from the floor, 33.3 percent (6-18) from beyond the 3-point arc and 70.6 percent (12-17) at the foul line. The Eagles, who had made 36 3-pointers over their previous three games, owned edges of 4-1 in blocks and 6-5 in steals. They did not record an assist the entire second half.
UW-Oshkosh was just the third team to shoot better than 40 percent from the field against UW-La Crosse this season. The Eagles went into the matchup ranked 10th nationally with a .319 opponent field goal percentage while also pacing the conference in 3-point percentage defense (.228), blocks (112), rebounds per game (40.2) and made 3-pointers (177).
Carly Coulthart led the Eagles with 15 points while Emma Gamoke added 11. Gamoke and UW-La Crosse's Dani Craig, who scored seven points on 3-for-15 shooting from the field, combined to shoot 2 of 9 from behind the 3-point line. Gamoke was leading the league with 52 made 3-pointers, including a team-record nine last Saturday (Feb. 9) against UW-Eau Claire. Craig was third in the conference with 49 long-range jumpers at a league-best .422 conversion rate.
The teams exchanged the lead seven times in the opening quarter. Coulthart drained the third of her four 3-pointers to give the Eagles an 11-9 advantage with 4:42 left in the first period, and UW-La Crosse maintained a lead until the 2:00 mark of the second quarter.
UW-La Crosse led by as many as eight points (31-23) with 3:35 to play in the first half, but UW-Oshkosh responded with eight unanswered points to tie the game 95 seconds later. Pustina hit back-to-back 3-pointers to pull the Titans within 31-29 before Karsyn Rueth scored in the lane to tie the score at 31 with two minutes remaining before intermission.
The Eagles, who fell to third place in the WIAC standings, scored on three consecutive possessions to reclaim a 37-31 lead, but Arneson drove for a layup to trim UW-Oshkosh's deficit to 37-33 at halftime.
A Campbell layup at the 4:28 mark of the third quarter gave the Titans a 45-43 lead, and UW-Oshkosh never trailed the rest of the way. UW-La Crosse forged ties at both 56 and 58, but Samuels split a pair of free throws with 5:03 left in the game that provided UW-Oshkosh a 59-58 lead it would not relinquish.
Campbell made a 3-pointer for a 62-58 UW-Oshkosh lead with 4:27 left. Gamoke later made her lone 3-pointer of the game to pull UW-La Crosse within 65-62 at the 2:26 mark. However, the Eagles committed turnovers on their next three possessions and missed a pair of late 3-point shots on their way to being held scoreless for the remainder of the contest.
Rabas then secured UW-Oshkosh's victory by sinking each of her six free throw attempts over the final 21 seconds.
The Titans picked up their fourth straight win over the Eagles and 10th in the last 11 meetings. UW-Oshkosh defeated the Eagles by a 60-48 score Jan. 19 in La Crosse.
UW-Oshkosh also won WIAC regular season championships in 1985, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2017.
The Titans will seek to clinch the outright conference championship against UW-Eau Claire on Saturday in Kolf Sports Center. UW-Oshkosh beat the Blugolds, 58-43, on Jan. 23 in Eau Claire.

Amer, 45, met Raghda, 40, in a Syrian prison cell 15 years ago. He first saw her bloodied face after a beating when she was placed in a neighboring cell. Over months they communicated through a tiny hole they'd secretly made in the wall. They fell in love and when released got married and started a family together.


Clinton was charged with murder Friday in connection with the killing of her 23-year-old boyfriend, whose name police have not released.
Ennis said he never called police because after he testified a few years ago against a man accused of gunning down a youngster outside his building, a brick was thrown through his window.
The killing marks at least the fifth domestic violence homicide this year, said Toni Troop, a spokeswoman for the victim's advocacy program Jane Doe, Inc. Of those, two of the alleged perpetrators are women who said they were acting in self-defense, Troop said.

Q: python: iteration through a grouped dataframe this dataframe has been reordered to assure that the categories in column 'x' are grouped together with column 'y' in an ascending order.
once I performed these changes, I am trying to sum column 'y' and 'z' for every category 'x'
so that each row is always summed to the previous rows within the same category.
The output displays the correct result but I am now trying to find a way to simplify the last 12 lines instead of writing a line for each row of the dataframe.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
data=[['A', 1,2 ],
        ['B', 5,5],
        ['C', 4,6]
        ,['A', 6,5],
        ['B',9,9],
        ['C', 7,9]
        ,['A', 2,3],
        ['B', 5,1],
        ['C',2,10]
        ,['B', 8,2],
        ['B', 5,4],
        ['C', 8,5 ]]
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['x','y','z'])
df = df.sort_values(by =['x', 'y'], ascending=True)
pd.set_option('display.max_rows',14)
print(df.head(14))
print (sum(df.iloc[0:1]['y'] + df.iloc[0:1]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[0:2]['y'] + df.iloc[0:2]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[0:3]['y'] + df.iloc[0:3]['z']))

print (sum(df.iloc[3:4]['y'] + df.iloc[3:4]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[3:5]['y'] + df.iloc[3:5]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[3:6]['y'] + df.iloc[3:6]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[3:7]['y'] + df.iloc[3:7]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[3:8]['y'] + df.iloc[3:8]['z']))

print (sum(df.iloc[8:9]['y'] + df.iloc[8:9]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[8:10]['y'] + df.iloc[8:10]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[8:11]['y'] + df.iloc[8:11]['z']))
print (sum(df.iloc[8:12]['y'] + df.iloc[8:12]['z']))

A: Use cumsum and sum the result along the columns:
>>> df.groupby('x').cumsum().sum(axis=1)
0      3
6      8
3     19
1     10
7     16
10    25
9     35
4     53
8     12
2     22
5     38
11    51
dtype: int64

A: I think what you're looking for is something like:
>>> df.groupby('x')[['y', 'z']].cumsum().eval('sum_yz = y + z')

     y   z  sum_yz
0    1   2       3
6    3   5       8
3    9  10      19
1    5   5      10
7   10   6      16
10  15  10      25
9   23  12      35
4   32  21      53
8    2  10      12
2    6  16      22
5   13  25      38
11  21  30      51

You can make it simpler to understand by having a second line assigning a new column as df['sum_yz'] = df['y'] + df['z'] but df.eval works here. If you want to return this with the rest of the data, I would drop the y and z columns in the new data frame, then pd.concat passing axis=1 with the original data frame.
If you just want the final sums themselves, that is even easier:
>>> df.groupby('x')[['y', 'z']].sum().eval('sum_yz = y + z')

    y   z  sum_yz
x
A   9  10      19
B  32  21      53
C  21  30      51

Cherfi v G4S Security Services Ltd - Muslim taking time off work to attend a mosque [2011] EAT
When determining whether indirect discrimination is justified as a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim, a tribunal must objectively balance the discriminatory effects of the condition imposed and the requirements of the party imposing it. In this case the EAT upheld a tribunal ruling that the indirect discrimination involved in refusing to allow a Muslim security guard to leave a site was justified as a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.
Mr Cherfi was a security guard, and would leave the site where he worked at Highgate, at Friday lunchtime for about an hour, to attend the Mosque. Although other guards left the site for lunchtime breaks, the manager found out and disciplined Mr Cherfi for unauthorised absence - although subsequently she allowed him to go to prayers. Some 10 months later a new manager told Mr Cherfi he could no longer do this: the contract with the client at the site required attendance all day, including during lunch-breaks, and severe financial penalties - or even loss of the contract altogether - would follow any breach. There was a prayer room on site available to Mr Cherfi.

Author Spotlight: Jessica Amanda Salmonson
by Erika Holt
Published in Feb. 2017 (Issue 53) | 456 words | Related Story: The Garbage Doll
What draws you to write in the horror genre?
It's a good place to put my darkest emotions, my deepest cynicisms, without really feeling hopeless since the supernatural isn't real. To write about such darkness in a realistic story would likely depress me further, but in a supernatural tale it can be sad without being totally dispiriting. It can entertain.
While reading "The Garbage Doll," one of the dominant emotions that jumped out at me was regret. Do you see this as being a story about opportunities lost?
I have written a series of tales with "Jessica" as protagonist obviously inviting people to think the character is me. In these stories I express a mixture of stuff that could well be autobiographical, together with jokes against myself, and stuff as totally imaginary as with any story without Jessica appearing as a character. I hadn't noted regret as a feature of this particular example, but more a matter of meaninglessness. The greatly successful, the lowest failure, are equally going to die after a short time.
What is it about marionettes, and dolls generally, that we find so creepy and haunting?
Anything that resembles us in any way is going to be dangerous and frightening.
In addition to writing, you also spent many years as an editor. Are you still editing? Would you say editing changed your approach to writing or vice versa?
Most of my editing the last few years has been collections of Victorian to WWI authors, and the intent has been to recover and preserve weird short stories of the past. These authors do at times influence my own work. Previously I'd done anthologies and magazines with many new stories and the intent was to cultivate new generations of authors who share my respect and love for the genre.
I'm always working on ten things at once, some not finished for years. This week I've been tinkering with a novelette I hope to finish for an editor who requested it, very worried it is giving me too much trouble to finish soon; have written a handful of new poems, either weird, whimsical, or both, and really like the latest one that begins with "Jemima Mae was a catfish twenty-three hours a day." It's the twenty-fourth hour that counts. And I'm working on reviews of various poets' recent collections. I spent one day messing around with "The Apocalypse of Eve," a highly mystic fantasy series of connected poems-in-prose adding up to a novella; it may be too odd ever to find publication.

Eddie Murphy is a sore loser and a liar
By Larry Putzgerald February 27, 2007
Eddie Murphy lost out to Alan Arkin, the old guy from Little Miss Sunshine, who won Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. Reports indicated Eddie left in haste shortly after because he was a sore loser. However, his rep says he would have done the same thing had he won.
"Eddie had always planned on leaving after his category was announced to spend the rest of the evening with his family," says rep Arnold Robinson, adding, "He did the same thing following the Golden Globe Awards." (Murphy did win at the Globes.)
I would think Eddie would be happy for Alan Arkin. They're brothers from another mother. Eddie went from Dreamgirls to Norbit while Alan Arkin went from Little Miss Sunshine to Santa Claus 3. So how do you go from being Oscar nominated to a movie unfit to use as toilet paper? Perhaps Halley Berry would like to answer that. Yes, I'm talking to you Catwoman.

'Beverly Hills Cop 4' Is Finally Happening Again Maybe


It's getting towards that time, Christmas. A lot of parties are happening and even though I love red lipstick, it's definitely one that seems to be a festive colour, think creepy Santa's coat and hat. I've had these Motives products for a few months now and I felt it was fitting to just use it in this look.

Ippudo, the first American outpost of a Japanese chain of more than fifty restaurants, is arguably the best ramenya in all of New York City. The noodles here are so delicious that Manhattanites, a self-selected group of extremely busy and rarely patient people, wait around for over an hour to snag a seat and slurp their hearts out. The sidewalk outside the restaurant is commonly lined with hungry ramen seekers due to Ippudo's immense popularity and annoying no reservation policy. There are certainly alternative remenyas within walking distance [See: Momofuku Noodle Bar and Minca Ramen Factory], but most are willing to stand around and twiddle their thumbs for Ippudo's superior bowl.
Compared to the other remenyas in the neighborhood, Ippudo's space is thoughtfully appointed and downright palatial. Even with a grandiose dining room, our party of five had to wait for an hour on this Sunday evening before being seated at a comfortable booth toward the back of the restaurant. Manhattan has been bitten by the rameniac bug.
Four members of our party ordered the Akamaru Modern ($13), Ippudo's richest and most exquisite bowl of ramen. The soup's signature tonkotsu broth was made by boiling pork bones, fat, and collagen over high heat for hours. The result was a lusciously thick broth that was deeply imbued with porky goodness. The mildly viscous broth clung to every noodle strand, assuring that every slurp was laced with the soup's deep flavors. The Akamaru Modern was accented with miso paste, garlic oil, slices of simmered berkshire pork, cabbage, onions, kikurage (wood ear mushrooms), and scallions.
Since I promised to share my Akamaru Modern with him, The Astronomer ordered the Shiromaru Hakata Classic ($13). His bowl contained Ippudo's signature tonkotsu broth as well, but it tasted milder without the addition of garlic oil. The noodles were topped with berkshire pork, kikurage, red pickled ginger, menma (a condiment made from dried bamboo), half a hard boiled egg, sesame seeds, and scallions.
Each bowl of ramen contained Ippudo's slender, springy house-made noodles. Once The Astronomer finished his first heap, he took advantage of Ippudo's kae–dama system and ordered a "refill" ($2) to plop in his still-warm broth.
Beautiful photos. Love the $2 refill!
Now I want ramen. Every noodle shop should have refills!
And yes, I am having camera envy!
I've tried Momofufu Noodle Bar, but not Ippudo. Which one did you like better?
hm, i should try this place and see how it compares to ramen in Japan.
You are doing well with your camera!
That place is awesome!!! I am glad you went!
Beautiful pictures, beautiful ramen! I can't wait until we get a ramenya in Austin, presumably in 2015.
I have been dying to try this shop since last year and even more now. Can't wait. 1 more month!
I've been coming here for ramen, since I moved to NY about 2 years ago; but yesterday, I abruptly left the restaurant when management decided to slap me with a surcharge of $4/person for eating a cupcake in their restaurant. No one gave me a warning, but they just automatically added the ridiculous surcharge to my tab. I went late in the afternoon, and did not have to wait for a table, but for some reason, things were EXTREMELY SLOW in the kitchen. I mean, come on, it should take 5 minutes to bring out a bowl of ramen. I was STARVING and the only thing to stave off my hunger were the cupcakes that I bought from Butter Lane. I asked if, instead, I could order an appetizer or drinks, but they didn't even give me the option. Moreover, I think it's annoying when this "policy" was not listed anywhere on the menu. The manager on duty said management is allowed to do whatever they please, but shouldn't they, instead, try to please the customers? Afterall, you are paying $15 for a bowl of peasant food. So fellow ramen enthusiasts, beware!

Creating a Premier Mid-Tier African Gold Producer
2015-11 Production Update
2015-08 Presidential Visit
2015-07 Construction Update
2015-06 Gold Pour Construction Update
NEW LIBERTY FIRST GOLD SALES AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Aureus Mining Inc.
TSX : AUE
AIM : AUE
Aureus Mining Inc. ("Aureus" or the "Company"), the TSX and AIM listed West African Gold Producer, is pleased to announce the commencement of gold sales and initial mining and processing operations from the New Liberty Gold Mine ("New Liberty") in Liberia.
Since nameplate capacity in mid-July to end of August, there have been four gold doré shipments from New Liberty, resulting in sales of 4,881 ounces of gold at an average price of US$ 1,119 per ounce.
Plant commissioning is progressing well with 52,310 tonnes of ore processed at an average feed grade of 3.6 g/t, which is in line with expectations. Average gold recoveries of 89% and recent recoveries as high as 92% are ahead of expectations for this stage of commissioning. Optimisation work is ongoing towards the delivery of the steady state target of 93%.
Mining operations were initially hampered due to the availability of explosives and this has now been addressed. The Company is preparing to implement an updated mine plan, which includes the earlier deployment of additional mining equipment – the Company continues to expect to meet its production target for the first 12 months of operations. To date, the Company has mined 263,673 tonnes of ore and 6,233,686 tonnes of waste with ore stockpiles totalling 211,363 tonnes.
A comprehensive water management plan has enabled mining to continue during the heavy rains experienced in August.
Grade control drilling and mining reconciliation to date have continued to show that the ore-body is extremely robust and representative of the resource model.
The remaining staff of DRA Mineral Projects and other third party contractors are beginning to demobilise from New Liberty with the Aureus owner team taking over full control of the process plant operations.
The Company is on track to declare Commercial Production at New Liberty in Q4 2015 and this will be announced following the plant achieving an average of 60% plant capacity over a 60 day period.
Liberia was declared Ebola free by WHO at the end of August.
Commenting on the commencement of gold sales, David Reading, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aureus Mining, said:
"The first commercial exporting and sales of gold from Liberia is yet another important milestone in the overall evolution of New Liberty and marks the beginning of revenue generation for the Company. The progress being made is very encouraging with early operations confirming the high grades at New Liberty and good recoveries, despite the typical teething problems associated with commissioning a new gold mine. We look forward to updating stakeholders on further progress as we reach commercial production levels at New Liberty during Q4 2015."
UPDATE ON NEW LIBERTY OPERATIONS
The Company achieved nameplate capacity on the gold plant in mid-July and continues to progress through the commissioning and ramp-up process in order to optimise recoveries and work towards a declaration of commercial production. The following is a summary of this process in relation to the key business areas of mining and processing.
Mining operations were hampered from April to July due to a lack of regular and consistent supply of explosives caused by a delay in the delivery of the emulsion plant from China – the delivery was impacted due to shipping restrictions to Ebola affected countries. In order to alleviate this situation, a supply chain was set up through Ghana and Côte D'Ivoire to transport explosives by road. The emulsion plant will now be commissioned in early November. The Company now has over three months of supply of explosives at New Liberty and has a regular supply of explosives to site.
Initially mining, road construction and the development of the run of mine ("ROM") pad were hampered by the lack of hard rock which was caused by the delay in the delivery of explosives. Nevertheless, the mining team has stripped over 6 million tonnes of waste rock and mined 263,673 tonnes of ore. As at end of August, the ore stockpiles total 211,363 tonnes. With an adequate supply of explosive material there have recently been considerable improvements in mining sequencing and ore fragmentation is improving as mining progresses below the weathered rock.
The construction of the operational water management system ensures that effective mining can be undertaken during the rainy season. Mitigations include a flood bund around the pit, pump stations and creek diversion. All are working as designed and mining operations have continued to progress throughout the wet-season and are now focussing below the weathered oxide zone in the Larjor starter pit and moving into fresh rock within the Kinjor pit. The primary focus of the mining team during September is to push back waste to access more ore and increase face length.
The on-site mine laboratory operated by ALS Global ("ALS") is now fully operational at the New Liberty Gold Mine and has been processing samples over the last two weeks. The laboratory has the capability of preparing 200 samples per day and is equipped with two furnaces for Fire Assay analysis. The laboratory is staffed by 18 qualified technicians, including five chemists, and offers a 24/7 service to process samples from the mining operation and metallurgical plant, including solutions, carbon, bullion and environmental analysis. As well as servicing the New Liberty Mine, this laboratory also has the capability to service other third party customers across the region.
A revised mining schedule is being enacted to enable the Company to achieve its production targets for the first 12 months of operations. This updated plan will include the three month acceleration of the delivery of an HD785 haul truck and a PC1250 excavator to January 2016, which will facilitate an increase in the mining rates enabling the mining team to catch up on the near term shortfall.
To date, the New Liberty Process Plant has processed 52,310 tonnes of ROM ore at an average feed grade of 3.6 g/t at an average gold recovery of 89%.
During the plant commissioning phase, there have been four gold doré shipments from the New Liberty Mine for smelting and refining at the MKS PAMP refinery in Switzerland. This has resulted in sales of 4,881 ounces of gold at an average price of US$ 1,119 per ounce.
In late July it was noted that the mill discharge grates were not optimum for the ROM ore and therefore required replacing. The supplier has worked with the Company and more robust, heavy duty grates have been installed. However, as a consequence of the discharge problem, the mill could not be operated at full design capacity. This caused undue deterioration on some of the mill liners and lifters, which must also be replaced. The replacement of these components has been undertaken at no cost to Aureus and the mill will continue to operate throughout September with a full mill re-line is scheduled to take place in early October 2015.
Plant processing operations are now focused on optimising reagent consumption, grind size and gold recoveries.
The remaining staff members from DRA Mineral Projects ("DRA"), the EPCM Contractor, and other third party contractors that were involved in construction and commissioning are beginning to demobilise from New Liberty with the experienced Aureus owner team taking full control of process plant operations.
The Company is on track to declare Commercial Production at New Liberty during Q4 2015. Commercial production will be declared by the Company on the first day of the calendar month following the mill having operated at an average of 60% or more of the designed production capacity calculated over a 60 day period. The value of the gold produced prior to commercial production being declared will be deducted from the capitalized construction costs of New Liberty, rather than recorded as revenue.
Following the resurgence of a small number of Ebola cases during June 2015, all associated contacts have now completed their follow up monitoring period, and Liberia was declared Ebola free for a second time by the World Health Organisation ("WHO") following a continuous period of 42 concurrent days without a case ending on 28 August 2015.
WEAJU LEGACY MINING CLAIM SETTLEMENT PAYMENT
The second and final payment has been made in relation to the settlement agreement for the acquisition of certain legacy mining rights from Weajue Hill Mining Corporation ("WHMC"). The legacy mining rights are situated in the Weaju area, covering only 1.7km2 of the total 457km2 Class A Mining Licence granted by the Republic of Liberia on 29 July 2009 to Bea Mountain Mining Corporation ("BMMC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aureus.
As part of the settlement agreement, which was announced on 26 July 2012, a second payment was required to be made on the completion of a feasibility study for the Weaju project. The second and final payment comprises US$ 445,000 and 1,148,611 new issue Aureus shares (using a share price of GBp 25.238 based on a trailing VWAP), which equates to the equivalent of US$ 5 per ounce of measured, indicated and inferred resources, as disclosed in the feasibility study, within the claims area and the surrounding 200 metre perimeter.

About Aureus Mining Inc.
The Company's assets include the New Liberty Gold Mine in Liberia (the "New Liberty Gold Mine," "New Liberty" or the "mine") which has an estimated proven and probable mineral reserve of 8.5 Mt with 924,000 ounces of gold grading 3.4 g/t and an estimated measured and indicated mineral resource of 9,796 Kt with 1,143,000 ounces of gold grading 3.63 g/t and an estimated inferred mineral resource of 5,730 Kt with 593,000 ounces of gold grading 3.2 g/t. A Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") has been completed, the first gold pour has taken place and work continues on commissioning the plant for full scale production. The mine is expected to have an 8 year life and annual production of 119,000 ounces for the first 6 years of production. The foregoing mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and additional information in connection therewith are set out in the Company's technical report dated March 25, 2015 and entitled "New Liberty Gold Project, Bea Mountain Mining Licence Southern Block, Liberia, West Africa, Definitive Project Plan."
The New Liberty Gold Mine is located within the Southern Block of the 100% owned Bea Mountain mining licence. This licence covers 478 km² and has a 25 year, renewable, mineral development agreement. The Bea Mountain mining license also hosts additional gold projects of Ndablama, Gondoja, Weaju and Leopard Rock which are the focus of exploration programs during 2015. Ndablama has an indicated mineral resource of 386,000 ounces of gold grading 1.6 g/t and inferred mineral resource of 515,000 ounces of gold grading 1.7g/t and Weaju has an inferred mineral resource of 178,000 ounces of gold grading 2.1 g/t. The Yambesei (759 km2), Archaen West (112.6 km2), Mabong (36.6 km2) and Mafa West (15.6 km2) licences will also be subject to preliminary reconnaissance geological work. The foregoing mineral resource estimates and additional information in connection therewith are set out in the Company's technical report dated December 1, 2014 and entitled "Ndablama and Weaju Gold Projects, Bea Mountain Mining Licence, Northern Block, Technical Report on Mineral Resources" ("Ndablama and Weaju Technical Report 2014").
The Company also has a gold exploration permit in Cameroon.

Certain information in this news release relating to Aureus is forward-looking and related to anticipated events and strategies. When used in this context, words such as "will", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "intend", "target" and "expect" or similar words suggest future outcomes. Forward-looking information contained in this press release includes, but may not be limited to, statements or information relating to: the New Liberty Gold Project (including the quantity and quality of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates), the potential to upgrade inferred mineral resources, opportunities to optimize the New Liberty Gold Project, the ability of the Company to develop the New Liberty Gold Project into a mine and the proposed new plans relating thereto regarding operations and mine design, future gold production, and future cash flows, the expected mine life of the New Liberty Gold Project, progress in the fight against Ebola and the anticipated exploration and development activities of Aureus. By their nature, such statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations, including: risks normally incidental to exploration and development of mineral properties; the inability of the Company to obtain required financing when needed and/or on acceptable terms or at all; risks that the cost of implementing the new mine plan at the New Liberty Gold Project and the operating cash costs of the New liberty Gold Project exceed those estimated in the new mine plan; uncertainties in the interpretation of results from drilling and test work; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with expectations; regulatory and government decisions; the possibility that future drawdowns under the loan facilities may not be available; construction of the New Liberty Gold Project being delayed and/ or over budget; economic conditions; availability and cost of financing; estimates of capital and operating costs and start-up costs; plans regarding construction activities; risks related to the Ebola crisis; and future unforeseen liabilities and other factors including, but not limited to, those listed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 26, 2015, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and in the Aureus Mining Admission Document, a copy of which is available at www.aureus–mining.com. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information as actual results could differ materially from the plans, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking information. Forward-looking information speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable law, Aureus disclaims any obligation to update or modify such forward-looking information, either as a result of new information, future events or for any other reason.
With respect to forward looking information contained in this news release, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: general business, economic and mining industry conditions; interest rates and foreign exchange rates; mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral resources and mineral reserves) and cost estimates on which the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are based; the parameters and assumptions employed in the New Liberty Technical Report, (including but not limited to, those relating to construction, future mining and operating costs, processing and recovery rates, net present values and internal rates of return, timing for the commencement of production, tax and royalty rates, future gold prices, metallurgical rates, pit design, operations and management, grades, the base case analysis and the proposed budget for further exploration plans and objectives); the supply and demand for commodities and precious and base metals and the level and volatility of the prices of gold; market competition; the ability of the Company to raise sufficient funds from capital markets and/or debt to meet its future obligations and planned activities; the business of the Company including the continued exploration of its properties; the political environments and legal and regulatory frameworks in Liberia and Cameroon with respect to, among other things, the ability of the Company to obtain, maintain, renew and/or extend required permits, licences, authorizations and/or approvals from the appropriate regulatory authorities and the ability of the Company to continue to obtain qualified staff and equipment in a timely and cost-efficient manner to meet its demand. Assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable by Aureus at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect.
Any mineral resource and mineral reserve figures referred to in this press release are estimates and no assurances can be given that the indicated levels of minerals will be produced. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the Company believes that the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates in respect of its properties are well established, by their nature mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If such mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are inaccurate or are reduced in the future, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to inferred mineral resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
