Concerned citizens, Indigenous leaders, environmentalists and former nuclear scientists are marching in Ottawa as they deliver their objection to the 10-year licence renewal for Chalk River Laboratories.
Ole Hendrickson, a former government research scientist, worries that if Canadian Nuclear Laboratories gets the 10-year licence the private consortium wants to keep running the Chalk River nuclear labs in eastern Ontario, approval of a proposed nuclear waste site won't be far behind.
Hendrickson will be among the concerned citizens, Indigenous leaders, environmentalists and former nuclear scientists marching through downtown Ottawa on Thursday, as they deliver their objection to the licence proposal to municipal and federal politicians.
Nuclear waste in Chalk River will cost billions to deal with and leave a legacy that will last centuries, notes Hendrickson.
He and others want the oversight of such a huge, environmentally sensitive dump to be well considered and properly regulated.
"There are heavy metals, mercury, lead, arsenic … PCBs mixed with radioactive and toxic chemicals," said Hendrickson. "Waste will be there hundreds of thousands of years."
In 2014, the federal government gave Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) control over nuclear operations at Chalk River. The government continues to own the nuclear assets.
CNL's licence to run the Chalk River labs expires on March 31 and the consortium has asked the regulator, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, for a 10-year licence agreement, rather than the usual five-year term.
The consortium notes the 10-year licence would "enable CNL to realize its long term strategy, a comprehensive plan to modernize and consolidate CRL site operations through the revitalization of essential infrastructure, the decommissioning of aging buildings and investment in new, world-class science facilities."
CNL also has plans for a permanent nuclear waste disposal site at Chalk River, plans that have been criticized by a concerned citizen's group as being "cheap, dirty, unsafe and out of alignment with International Atomic Energy Agency guidance."
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission will hold public hearings in Pembroke, Ont., from Jan. 23 to 25 to consider CNL's licence.
Dozens of delegations have registered to comment at the hearings.
Lynn Jones, who worked in public health for years and now represents a coalition of concerned citizens, will be among those speaking out at the Pembroke hearings next week.
"Personally I have a big problem with profit being part of dealing with nuclear waste. I'm not alone in that," Jones said.
She noted that two-thirds of the 88 interventions take issue with the 10-year licence and what they perceive as "reduced oversight".
In submissions already published, former Atomic Energy of Canada scientists write that "a decision by the Commission to grant a 10 year licence to CNL would be an unsafe and unsound decision."
The scientists allege "instability in CNL management, lack of knowledge of key regulations and international obligations, and lack of open and transparent public engagement."
Canadian firm, SNC Lavalin is one of the members of the CNL consortium.
At least one submission cites the legal issues facing SNC Lavalin as a reason the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission must reject the licensing application.
The Ottawa Riverkeeper is also opposed to the 10-year licence for CNL since there is currently "no approved plan to deal with legacy wastes."
But Mark Lesinski, president of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories said among those posed to present submissions at the hearings, there are a number of "misunderstandings."
"Safety, compliance, the environment are our No. 1 priority and in fact in the program we've put together that will be improved for the next 10 years as well," Lesinski said.
$113M nuclear research lab opens doors in Chalk River, Ont.

Q: Login A User in iPhone with Twitter and Save Authenticated User to Remote Django Application I have a vague idea of how to do this.
My app is consuming an API written in Django, but my client required me to do authentication only with Twitter. The problem is, after I log them into the iPhone app via Twitter, how will I then be able to work with Django's User model?
By the way, I am using django-tastypie with Django and ASIHTTPRequest with iOS.
Thanks!

A: Ygam,
I am using Facebook Connect/Graph within my app (and on our site) and have an API wrapped around my Django site using Piston. I am actually considering to go to TastyPie, but no time to refactor at the moment.
I faced a similar problem when we introduced FB, so I decided to use an API token for all API calls and issue that token at successful login, no matter what authentication mechanism was going to be used (django user/pw, FB, Twitter etc.)
Currently users can login into the app with either username/pw or FB. A login consists of a 'GET' over HTTPS that returns a profile json ( I could have first returned an API token and have app make another call for the profile json, but when dealing with mobile devices and slow networks you want to reduce network calls).
The token is stored locally and will work until the server decides to revoke it (expire, manually by user on web site etc.)
So now my 'GET /profile' simply supports different url parameters based on authentication mechanism used like username/passsword for Django, fbtoken for Facebook, twtoken etc. and on server side I use Django to validate external tokens with the 3rd party api. This is also used to get FB profile data like email address and store that in the Django model.
I haven't looked at the Twitter integration in iOS5, but as long as you can get an auth token you could do something similar.

Mull is the fourth largest Scottish island, with an area of 338 square miles and a resident population around 2000. Mull is a popular destination for tourists, and also many people from Central Scotland have holiday homes here.

==Regions==
Mull [1] is an island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is in the Argyll and Bute Council Area.

6.1 By Ferry
7.1 By Bus
7.2 By Train

11.1 Hostels
11.2 Bed and Breakfasts
11.3 Hotels
Tobermory is the only town on the island.
There are many small villages on the roads going around the coast of the island, the more notable of which are:
Dervaig
Pennygowan
Craignure
Bunessan
Fionnphort
Tourist Office near the pier at Craignure.
Unless you have your own boat or plane, the only way in is on one of the Calmac ferries:
By Ferry
Calmac [2] run 3 ferries connecting Mull with the mainland, and one to Iona.
Oban to Craignure (daily 5-8 times per day, takes 45 minutes). Probably the most convenient for those without a car, as Oban has good bus and rail links.
Lochaline to Fishnish Sometimes hourly, taking 15 minutes.
Kilchoan on Ardnamurchan to Tobermory. Three per day, taking 35 minutes. Given how remote Ardnamurchan is, this is more a way of getting there, than a way of getting to Mull.
Iona to Fionnphort about 9 per day, taking 10 minutes. Beware of getting wet feet boarding the ferry.
Local buses are operated by Bowmans [3], who also run tours. Buses to Tobermory and also to Iona connect with many of he ferries at Craignure. There are no Sunday services in winter.
The Isle Of Mull Railway runs just over a mile from Craignure to Torosay, and is a tourist attraction, not a useful part of the transport system.
Tobermory. If you have a small child with you, then you will probably not be able to avoid Tobermory, or Balamory as they will call it after the TV series. The town is picturesque, with painted buildings along the waterfront, and an interesting assortment of small shops, cafes and pubs.
Torosay Castle
Duart Castle

Internet companies should face a tax punishment for failing to deal with terrorism says minister
Posted 2nd January 2018
Internet companies should face a tax punishment for failing to deal with the threat of terrorism in the UK, security minister Ben Wallace has said.
Mr Wallace said firms such as Facebook, Google and YouTube were too slow to remove radical content online, forcing the government to act instead.
While tech firms were "ruthless profiteers", governments were spending millions policing the web, he added.
Facebook said Mr Wallace was wrong to say it put profits before safety.
YouTube said violent extremism was a "complex problem" and addressing it was a "critical challenge for us all".
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Mr Wallace said tech giants were failing to help prevent the radicalisation of people online.
"Because content is not taken down as quickly as they could do," he claimed, "we're having to de-radicalise people who have been radicalised. That's costing millions."
He said the refusal of messaging services – such as WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook – to give the security services access to message data was "turning the internet into an anarchic violent space".
"Because of encryption and because of radicalisation, the cost of that is heaped on law enforcement agencies," Mr Wallace told the newspaper.

Mrs. Andrews asks Mara to investigate Vera for a "profile" on the website. Jerome is delighted when the goose passes the gem, until Mara drops it down the sink. Patricia wears the fake amulet to the tunnels, and she is blinded. The others go ahead into the tunnels without her. Patricia hears someone coming into the tunnels and blindly searches for Sibuna. As Sibuna explores the spider web task, Patricia arrives to warn them that someone is coming. As they hide, Victor reaches the web and is stung by the web. Mr. Sweet tells Mara that Jasper was the one who secured Vera's job.


By Derek Bonnett: One of the many highlights of the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend are the Ringside Lectures. The 2017 weekend did not disappoint. The most engaging lecture this year and some of the most interesting over the last six years came from a myriad of boxing's top referees. Joe Cortez delivered a great lecture back in 2011, but 2017's delivered a KO combination comprised of Kenny Bayless, Robert Byrd, Tony Weeks, Robert Hoyle, and Russell Mora. The ensemble of top ring officials followed an entertaining discussion led by newly inducted Marco Antonio Barrera on the museum grounds Saturday, June 10.
Much of the weekend's discourse centered on Mexican boxing traits such as heart, will, and warrior instinct or what they simply call cojones in places like Distrito Federal, Mexicali, Tijuana, or Culiacan. Leading referees Bayless and Weeks discuss their great honor in being part of Mexican-linked battles such as Barrera-Morales III and Corrales-Castillo I. Bayless, a future hall of fame referee, was so bedazzled by the action between Barrera and Morales that even now he had trouble sorting out the winners. Weeks spoke twice over the weekend in regard to his role in the first clash between Castillo and Corrales.
"That has to be one of the top ten best fights ever," Weeks, a veteran referee with one job shy of six hundred fights, said of the bout. "You had Corrales down and hurt in the tenth. Then he went down again. By then, I was looking at Corrales closely because I was thinking about stopping it. Next thing you know, I am looking at Castillo and stepping in."
The left hook from Castillo was perfectly timed and drilled Chico right on the side of his chin. The lanky champion wobbled and then fell, turning away from his opponent. Corrales' mouthpiece was noted as being out by the commentary team on Showtime. Weeks correctly brought Corrales to his corner and strongly commanded Joe Goosen to put it back in quickly so he could resume action with minimal impact on the action produced by the fighters themselves.
When Corrales hit the canvas again seconds later, the mouthpiece was more obviously taken out by the fighter to buy himself a few precious seconds. Weeks was hip to this tactic.
"You okay? I'm going to take a point away for taking the mouthpiece out," Weeks said without hesitation on fight night, proving Robert Byrd's point made later in the lecture on June 10.
"The most important thing, to me, is knowledge of the rules," Byrd said with almost dumb simplicity.
However, the top-flight referee couldn't be more right.
Very often on television boxing fans hear network commentators express admiration for a referee based on how little their involvement is among the fighters or not being seen at all. The comment, sarcastic or not, has some merit to it, but it certainly undermines the mental precision a boxing referee must maintain at all times in lieu of the action unfolding before him or her.
"If you understand and you know what the rules are," Byrd, himself closing in on 700 contests as referee, continued, "then you can apply that rule correctly. It really doesn't matter what announcers say; we don't care. Our job is the safety of that fighter and complying with the rules."
A chorus of laughter followed from the audience, but what I noticed most from stage side was the synchronized nods of agreement enacted by Bayless, Weeks, Hoyle, and Mora as Byrd made his point. Byrd was praised by Bayless for initiating the modern practice of referees actually training as fighters. Bayless never fought as a professional and he attests that ring experience, while not essential, certainly helps a referee to make the right call.
The center of the discussion then turned to Mora, a referee widely criticized for his ring decisions most commonly associated with his work in the first Abner Mares-Joseph Agbeko bout in 2011. On fight night, I remember my own outrage at Mora for overlooking a slew of low blows landed by Mares, calling a knockdown against Agbeko following a hard blow south of the border, and, eventually, deducting a point from Agbeko after he was hit low. Hall of Fame commentator Al Bernstein called it the worst referee job he had ever witnessed.
"It was a very difficult fight and a very difficult time for me, but to err is human," Mora explained, now with more than 470 bouts on his resume. "I had to learn and accept that on that night I could have done a better job. I have learned a few more tools since then. There's a saying in boxing that you have to be better today than last year or last month. I love boxing and I knew I had to get back to that confidence level."
As questions from the lecture built upon one another, the topic of suicide involving boxing referees was raised.
"Having been where I was, I can understand that," Mora said solemnly. "But I have this network of referees. I had them calling me, sometimes all of them each day, for support. We have that now. A lot of referees in different eras went about it alone."
Bayless a referee of more than 730 contests shared that during his referee tenure, he officiated three bouts which ended with a fallen fighter.
"The first was from a single punch," Bayless recalled. "He had a subdural hematoma; that is a bleeding of the brain. They cut him open and stopped the bleeding, but when they closed him up, it started bleeding again and he lost his life. I didn't think I wanted to referee again after that."
"Today we call each other up to discuss fights," Bayless said. "I might call Tony and ask him about a fight neither of us worked and talk about what we would have done or if we agreed. When we reach out to a colleague that had a bad night, we can't be too judgmental. We all have to own it and talk out how things might have been done better."
Referee criticism cannot come up without two things being mentioned: Chavez-Taylor I and Richard Steele. Steele had nearly five hundred bouts in his professional career as a referee and served as a mentor to many Las Vegas referees including Bayless. His work in the Chavez-Taylor bout will always be subject to scrutiny fair or unfair, depending on your perspective.
Bayless recounted some of the injuries sustained by Taylor against the Mexican icon, including a broken orbital bone, badly cut lips, swollen eyes, and approximately two pints of his own blood poisoning him after being ingested. Taylor was taken to the hospital on a stretcher. Many boxing aficionados can only focus on the two seconds remaining and the scores at the time, but, you see, that is what makes boxing so great. This very point I shared with Mora later in the day at the memorabilia show. In boxing there are two ways to win. You can build up more points the way Taylor was or you can score a knockout. In tennis, two sets down is almost a foregone conclusion. In football, soccer, baseball, and basketball a certain gap in points typically determines the winner unofficially before the time has run out. Boxing has that X-Factor, the knockout. In many ways, the outcome of Chavez-Taylor I is the perfect example of why boxing is great.
"Richard Steele made the right call," Byrd stated emphatically.
Together the team of referees recounted numerous factors of the fight such as Taylor being asked if he was all right and Lou Duva distracting Taylor from the corner.
"A round is three minutes long," Weeks stated. "It doesn't matter how much time is left. Our job is to ensure the safety of the fighter. If the referee determines that one more punch is too much, then the fight must end."
"We can all live with the fight that gets stopped too early," Byrd said to a round of applause.
"In the NBA, everybody gets to go home after the game. Why can't the same be for boxing?" Mora asked.
After speaking with him personally, even I left on great terms with Mora, who truly is an excellent human being and gentleman. He loves fighters too and he openly shared some photo memories with me and my wife after our discussion. He admitted to hundreds of people and thousands more after this writing that he made mistakes and could be better. It takes a man to do that and men deserve respect.
The common theme of the afternoon was safety first. Boxing will always have bad calls and hasty stoppages from referees, but it is comforting to know that the right men are on the job and have a lot to offer those on the way up.

Client Michelle W.; "I always enjoy my chats with Lee. She is funny, warm, and insightful. I never doubt what she tells me, as her guidance makes sense and comes to pass. I am currently experiencing a long-awaited outcome in my life that really didn't seem to be coming based solely on visual inspection. And yet ... here we are! Thanks so much, Lee ... xoxo" - 25 August, 2016 - Jun 24 2014"
My name is Lee and I primarily give live chat psychic and intuitive automatic writing readings, where by you tell me only your first name and I read for you without using any tools. My readings are often very fast, because I channel messages very quickly via my hands when typing. My clients are welcome to ask questions up front if they prefer, to save time and help me hone in on exactly what they would like guidance on. However, I am also happy to do general readings.
My specialty service is my in-depth email readings. They take about an hour for me to do, and are done using a combination of my intuitive gifts, Tarot and Astrology. I find that using these things together, gives a very detailed reading. Email readings look into the recent past, present and into the next six months. Clients are welcome to ask questions for me to focus on or I can do a general reading. I also allow my clients to come back with free follow up questions for email readings, in case there is something that needs clarification.
The benefit of having an online chat reading or email reading done is that you have a transcript, or written record of your reading, which enables you to keep a copy and read over it many times, now and in the future.
I can read for you regarding any topic from love and relationships, to career and spiritual growth. It is my personal endeavor to help all people who come to me in any way I can. I genuinely care about people; I enjoy reading and using my gift to help those who come to me on their spiritual journey. I aim to show love and compassion to all who need my help, and I also aim for my clients to feel better about their situation by the end of a reading by giving them the truth and better understanding. My clients can rest assured that there will be no judgement from me in their reading, they are welcome to discuss whatever they are struggling with in complete confidentiality.
Astrology is a passion of mine also, and I offer in-depth natal chart analysis and 12 month forecasts reports via email. These can be used to predict the future, help deal with personal issues or give you a better understanding of yourself and your purpose in this life. Looking into past lives and their affect upon the present life is another service I offer using Astrology.

Please take the time to leave a rating and comment regarding your reading, as this helps other people be able to choose the right reader for them. Please feel free to read through my ratings, as they are the best reflection of what you can expect in my readings.
I have over ten years experience in performing online chat and email readings, as you can see by my ratings going back to 2003. I was taught to cast Rune stones when I was a child by my Aunt. Performing psychic readings is something that has been done in my family for many generations. Having lost my father at a young age, set me on a path very early in my life of asking the big questions and seeking answers for them. My spirituality is a huge part of my life, and I feel very blessed and privledged to be able to share my gifts with my clients. I was attuned to Reiki when I was 16, and have been doing Reiki healings and readings for others from my teenage years.
*Some Important Advice* Be cautious of anyone promising to fix things for you, don't trust anyone who wants to take your money for spells or to remove curses. Always trust your gut feelings when picking a reader, choose someone you feel comfortable with and never give too much information away. I ask only for your name. Confirm things for the reader, but don't tell them everything before you even begin, a good reader should be able to help you with little to no information. Always remember that we have the ultimate power of free will in our lives.


In anticipation of our first meeting with a possible client on Wednesday, January 26, Studio V has begun to wrap up the Site Analysis of 6 possible locations for our Vertical Garden project. We plan on bringing our updated Site Analysis to the meeting, along with some proposed building areas within the Elliotbourogh Community Garden in hopes of sparking some interest. Our Site Analysis will include a thorough investigation of Surrounding Program, Site-Specific Program, Visibility, Circulation, Sunlight Studies, and Qualities of the Site.
In addition to our Site Analysis, we are also gearing up for our Studio Pinup on Friday, January 28, which will include our research on Vertical Gardens and our investigation of a fruit or vegetable. Our investigation will include a multitude of study models and diagrams that hope to explain our interpretation of Structure, Circulation, Poche, Program, and Skin. My vegetable is the bell pepper, and I am currently struggling to create a model that can be completely disassembled and touch on all these categories. If you would like to see my solution, as well as other Studio V projects, don't hesitate to stop by the CAC.C Center on Friday!
Next Model Building and Site Location….

Rewrite Global Tax Rules, Says Oxfam
The G20's plan to tackle corporate tax dodging, devised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), needs a radical shake up so that developing countries can capture their fair share of foreign business activity, says Oxfam.The report, Business Among Friends, says that today's international tax rules allow multinational companies to 'disappear' their profits including to other countries in order to pay low or no tax. Oxfam warns that many of the world's poorest economies that are being worst hit are being left out of the OECD's negotiations to tackle this scandal.According to new figures from a forthcoming study by tax expert Alex Cobham and economist Petr Janský, if multinationals were taxed in countries where real economic activity takes place, then corporate tax revenues in some developing countries could increase by more than 100%.Oxfam International Executive Director Winnie Byanyima said: "Corporations are rigging the rules and taking advantage of poor countries, fuelling a vicious cycle of inequality. Developing countries are being locked out of negotiations, creating a risk that any revisions to the rules will only serve the interests of the wealthiest and most powerful."Cobham and Janský's figures, which look at misalignment between US multinational activity and profits, reveal that under more progressive corporate taxation rules the Philippines would see a 75% increase in their multinational corporate tax base, Ecuador a 99% increase, South Africa a 106% increase and India's tax base would go up by over 180%. Honduras would see their tax base boosted by a massive 400%.For poorer countries it is impossible to calculate the potential levels of tax income increases, which shows how poor the systems are for data collection and how high the levels of tax secrecy. But it is likely they would also stand to gain by significant margins.Governments are being pitted in competition against each other to attract foreign investment. This is resulting in many countries being pressured to offer businesses sweet deals, such as tax exemptions or low tax rates. This can leave countries facing huge tax gaps, when they need this money to improve basic services such as healthcare and education. It's estimated that the "tax gap"—the amount of unpaid tax due by multinationals to developing countries—is about $104 billion a year.Oxfam believes that non G20 countries must be able to participate in any negotiations to reform the international corporate tax system and lack of capacity cannot be used as an excuse not to include them. Rich countries, like the UK, must support poorer nations to give them the knowledge and capacity to collect the taxes they are owed and governments need to talk seriously about creating a World Tax Authority to ensure fair and equitable tax systems that deliver for the public interests of every country.Winnie Byanyima said: "If done properly, the OECD Action Plan presents a unique opportunity to overhaul international corporate tax rules to the benefit of all economies.

The G20's plan to tackle corporate tax dodging, devised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), needs a radical shake up so that developing countries can capture their fair share of foreign business activity, says Oxfam.
The report, Business Among Friends, says that today's international tax rules allow multinational companies to 'disappear' their profits including to other countries in order to pay low or no tax. Oxfam warns that many of the world's poorest economies that are being worst hit are being left out of the OECD's negotiations to tackle this scandal.
According to new figures from a forthcoming study by tax expert Alex Cobham and economist Petr Janský, if multinationals were taxed in countries where real economic activity takes place, then corporate tax revenues in some developing countries could increase by more than 100%.
Oxfam International Executive Director Winnie Byanyima said: "Corporations are rigging the rules and taking advantage of poor countries, fuelling a vicious cycle of inequality. Developing countries are being locked out of negotiations, creating a risk that any revisions to the rules will only serve the interests of the wealthiest and most powerful."
Cobham and Janský's figures, which look at misalignment between US multinational activity and profits, reveal that under more progressive corporate taxation rules the Philippines would see a 75% increase in their multinational corporate tax base, Ecuador a 99% increase, South Africa a 106% increase and India's tax base would go up by over 180%. Honduras would see their tax base boosted by a massive 400%.
For poorer countries it is impossible to calculate the potential levels of tax income increases, which shows how poor the systems are for data collection and how high the levels of tax secrecy. But it is likely they would also stand to gain by significant margins.
Governments are being pitted in competition against each other to attract foreign investment. This is resulting in many countries being pressured to offer businesses sweet deals, such as tax exemptions or low tax rates. This can leave countries facing huge tax gaps, when they need this money to improve basic services such as healthcare and education. It's estimated that the "tax gap"—the amount of unpaid tax due by multinationals to developing countries—is about $104 billion a year.
Oxfam believes that non G20 countries must be able to participate in any negotiations to reform the international corporate tax system and lack of capacity cannot be used as an excuse not to include them. Rich countries, like the UK, must support poorer nations to give them the knowledge and capacity to collect the taxes they are owed and governments need to talk seriously about creating a World Tax Authority to ensure fair and equitable tax systems that deliver for the public interests of every country.
Winnie Byanyima said: "If done properly, the OECD Action Plan presents a unique opportunity to overhaul international corporate tax rules to the benefit of all economies. This opportunity is too rare and important to be squandered."

Distilling has been on the rise in the U.S. with the number of distilleries increasing from less than 50 to more than 1,800 over the last 18 years. In 2017, the production of American craft spirits increased by nearly 25% compared to the previous year, and investments in the facilities that manufacture craft spirits doubled from 2015 to 2017. The craft category now represents 3.2% of the total U.S. spirits production by volume and 4.6% of total dollar sales. Revenue for the craft spirits market grew roughly 33% year over year to nearly $3.7 billion. Due to this trend, small-batch craft spirit producers are aiming to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the market.
Founded in 2013, Thumb Butte Distillery's mission is to stake a claim in the American small-batch distilling business in historic Arizona by making vodka, gin, rye whiskey, single malt whiskey, bourbon, and dark rum. It handcrafts award-winning small-batch spirits in its hometown of Prescott, Arizona and intends to continue the western American tradition of creating spirits from locally grown grains, herbs, and fruits. Thumb Butte spirits are distributed statewide in Arizona, and the company is seeking to expand its distribution footprint to more states including Nevada, Wyoming, Illinois, California, and New York. Bottles can also be purchased at the distillery's tasting room or directly from the company's website.
Thumb Butte uses technology like motion and vibration processing that seeks to replicate old methods of barreling and shipping whiskeys. This process helps release the flavor compounds present in wood barrels and increases the complexity of the flavor profile. The company's lead distillers use charred American white oak barrels to impart color and flavor into each product. They also use smaller 5-gallon barrels to achieve a greater liquid-to-wood ratio, which helps accelerate the aging process. Local corn and Durham wheat are used to make Thumb Butte's whiskeys, and the company also gathers its own wild juniper berries and sage to use in its vodkas and gins. In the future, it plans to produce at least four special edition whiskeys a year and expand its gin offerings to include Arizona specific terroir offerings. It also plans to develop a line of bitters, including Amaro, to be released in the coming year.
Prescott is in Arizona's central highlands and is situated at an elevation close to one-mile high,iii and Thumb Butte Distillery gets its name from the volcanic plug—resembling a thumb—that overlooks the town. The distillery's founders chose to distill spirits in Prescott because of the city's long history with whiskey and the town's aptly named main street, "Whiskey Row." Thumb Butte Distillery is a proud member of the community; it engages in philanthropy for local charities, and provides a musical venue for local musicians every week.
Bloody Basin Bourbon is made with 70% Arizona corn, and the mash bill is finished with rye and barley. It's smooth and slightly sweet with a dark, rich finish. It's aged in new charred American oak barrels, and shows hints of vanilla, butterscotch, caramel, and rye spice.
Rodeo Rye whiskey is 90% rye whiskey and is inspired by traditional whiskeys made in the Old West. This whiskey brings out robust flavors like rye, vanilla, caramel, pepper, and oak. These deep rich flavors come out over ice, but they also make a nice addition to a Sazerac or on Old Fashioned.
Crown King Single Malt whiskey is made from malted barley grown in Northern Scotland and is aged in oak barrels previously used for Bloody Basin Bourbon. After aging, the whiskey is then transferred to Oloroso Sherry oak barrels to be finished. This whiskey has a light smoky nose, and a delicate golden color. It's great with cocktails or on the rocks.
Gurley Street Gin was designed to be refreshing and clean, while delivering a traditional London dry experience. The gin goes through the distilling process six times and the spirit is infused with a bundle of herbs and Juniper Berries. The Juniper berries are sourced locally and help create a smooth, clean taste. Gurley Street Gin pairs great in a traditional martini or a gin and tonic.
Western Sage Gin was created as a tribute to the herbs that grow in the American West. The herb bouquet was designed and bundled by Thumb Butte's founder Dana Murdock. The recipe for Western Sage Gin calls for a reduced amount of local juniper berries and an increased amount of sage, fennel, coriander, Arizona oranges, and lemons. This gin has an herbal bouquet with a crisp citrus finish.
Thumb Butte's holiday season ode to gin became so popular that the company decided to produce it year-round. Its Winter Flower Gin delivers a botanical selection of taste, including light notes of juniper and a host of flowers including Elder, Passion, and Hibiscus.
Thumb Butte's Meyer Lemon Vodka is an infused vodka, not a flavored vodka. The Meyer is a cross between a Eureka Lemon and a Mandarin Orange, and has a delicate lemony smoothness. These lemons are grown and picked in Phoenix, Arizona. This vodka is great in a martini, lemon drop, or a cocktail to add a sweet citrus touch.
Thumb Butte's signature vodka is a blend of 80% Sonoran wheat and 20% Polish potato. This vodka makes a strong base for vodka drinks and can be stored in a freezer to make chilled martinis.
Robert's Rye is a tribute to Robert Mitchum and his 1947 film "Out of the Past." In the film, Robert Mitchum played a rugged and solitary anti-hero, and like the film character, this rye whiskey is edgy and full-bodied. Roberts Rye has all of Thumb Butte's original flavors, but at 100-proof, it has more heat, and finishes with a healthy burn.
Special Release #3 is an Arizona "Grain to Glass" whiskey. The mash bill is malted barley, heirloom corn, and whole grain rye. Because this whiskey was distilled and stored in Arizona's Central Highlands—where the daily temperature can vary up to 50 degrees from day to night—Thumb Butte's distillers believe that the flavor profile is more distinguished and that the aging process is accelerated due to the temperature variation. Special Release #3 is a full bodied, full flavor American whiskey. It's great straight from the bottle or over ice.
With its current state license, Thumb Butte Distillery has the ability to operate two remote tasting rooms in the Arizona area. Its current tasting room is located inside the Prescott distillery building, and visitors can sample various lines of spirits, hand crafted cocktails, and enjoy small bites to eat. Tours of the facility are available for special events or parties. In the near future, the company aims to identify a location for a remote tasting room and still-house within the greater Phoenix area. Plans for the new location include a bar, craft food, and a large still.
Thumb Butte Distillery has developed its own small-batch craft spirits distilling business and has created a distribution business model to help expansion efforts. The funds raised will be used to increase distribution throughout the United States and into Canada. If Thumb Butte raises the maximum amount of $600,000.21, it plans to use the proceeds primarily for manufacturing (33%), general working capital (19%) equipment purchases (17%), future wages (17%), general marketing (8%), and research and development (5%). If Thumb Butte Distillery raises the minimum amount of $50,003.46 it plans to use the proceeds primarily for manufacturing (40%), general working capital (30%), general marketing (20%), and research and development (10%).
Thumb Butte sells its craft spirits through its online store, distributor network, and on-site in its tasting room. Prices range from $23.99 for its vodkas to $500 for its special release whiskey. Currently, it has distribution throughout Arizona and is in over 400 locations, including resorts, hotels, bars, and restaurants.
Thumb Butte Distillery's retail customers include local residents and tourists, while the distillery's wholesale distribution customers include Costco, Total Wine, Bevmo, Safeway, Walmart, and independent liquor stores throughout the Southwest. Thumb Butte Distillery's craft spirits are distributed to over 400 locations across Arizona.
In 2017, Thumb Butte generated $298,113 in revenue, versus revenue of $138,112 in 2016. Year-to-date as of October 2018, the company has generated $225,051 in revenue.
In 2017, expenses totaled $301,595, which is down 25% from 2016's total expenses of $404,458. This included $18,305 related to costs of goods sold (COGS), and $301,595 attributed to operating expenses. Within operating costs, the top expenses were payroll ($66,157) and rent costs ($56,268). As of October 2018, year-to-date expenses have totaled $190,362, which is down 5% over the same time period in 2017. The two largest expenditures over the period were wages ($63,775) and utility costs ($14,521).
In 2017, Thumb Butte generated a net loss of $4,356, versus a net loss of $272,553 in 2016. Year-to-date as of October 2018, the company has generated a net profit of $34,688.
Dana is the president and one of the original founders of Thumb Butte Distillery. She is also one of the lead distillers and is actively involved in the company's day-to-day operations. She personally designs all of the distillery's gin spirits. Dana's previous experience includes ceramics, artisan baking, health care analysis, and vocational counseling.
Jim designs all of the whiskeys, oversees the aging processes, and is one of the founding members of the distillery. He worked as an artist for more than 40 years designing furniture and has worked in the glass and metal craft industries. He helps operate the distillery on a day-to-day basis and oversees every distillation. He is from California and has lived in Arizona for 14 years.

Archery is the practice or skill of using a bow to shoot arrows. The word comes from the Latin arcus meaning 'bow' or 'arch'. Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat and was invented in the late Palaeolithic or early Mesolithic periods. In modern times, it is mainly a competitive sport and recreational activity. As a sport, archery requires skills of precision, control, focus, repetition and determination. It is available to be practised by all, no matter age, gender or ability, and is a widespread pastime in both developed and developing countries. Archery is an extremely accessible sport in countries around the world. It is a sport for all ages and abilities - and can be as recreational or competitive as the person taking part wants.
Equipment: The modern target bow varies in length according to the height of the archer but averages 173 cm (68 inches). Similarly, arrows vary, but an average arrow is 56 cm (22 inches). The drawing force of a bow—that is, the energy required to draw back an arrow to the fullest—varies from 14 to 23 kg (30 to 50 pounds) for men and from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 pounds) for women.
Modern competitive archery: Competitive archery involves shooting arrows at a target for accuracy from a set distance or distances. This is the most popular form of competitive archery worldwide and is called target archery. A form particularly popular in Europe and America is field archery, shot at targets generally set at various distances in a wooded setting. Competitive archery in India is governed by Archery Association of India. Para-Archery is an adaptation of archery for athletes with a disability governed by the World Archery Federation (WA), and is one of the sports in the Summer Paralympic Games.
Archery is an ancient sport that has evolved a number of variations in format. While target archery is the most popular and recognisable modern archery discipline thanks to its inclusion in the Olympic Games, World Archery also recognises a number of other archery disciplines.
Flight and clout archery
Ski and run archery
World Archery is the international governing body for the sport of archery. Its mission is to promote and regulate archery worldwide, developing the sport with over 160 member associations through international events, development initiatives and marketing and endorsed by the International Olympic Committee, International Paralympic Committee and International World Games Association, among others. It is responsible for setting the rules and regulations for international archery events, organising the World Archery Championships and for the sport at the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games and World Games.
Archery Association of India came into existence in 1973, with the primary objective to organize, encourage, and promote the game of Archery in the country by providing proper training facilities to Indian Archers. To organize Mini, Sub-Junior, Junior, Senior level National Championships and National Ranking Tournaments regularly including competitions for selection for Indian Team for International Championships.
Archery first appeared in the Olympic Games in 1900, was contested again in 1904, 1908 and 1920, then again, after an absence of 52 years, from 1972 to the present. Modern Olympic archery has four events, with men and women competing in both individual and team events. The team event was introduced at the 1988 Seoul Games for the first time. At the Olympic Games, archers shoot at targets 70 metres away. The target is 1.22 metres in diameter and marked with 10 concentric rings. Individual archers compete in head-to-head matches in single elimination after being ranked from 1 to 64 during qualifications. In each contest both archers shoot 12 arrows and only the winner moves on. Teams are made up of three archers, and team events follow the same competition format as individual events.
World Archery Events: World Archery events range from the international to national, from multi-nationality to localised. All are run to the same (or similar) set of rules, and all feature archers performing, and competing, at their highest level. International events are awarded to bid cities, coordinated and managed by World Archery directly, world ranking events are coordinated by its continental associations and world record status by its national member associations.
International Events: The World Archery Championships, and its sister events for youth, para, field, indoor and 3D competitions, and the Archery World Cup and Indoor Archery World Cup are World Archery's international event properties. They operate in accordance with the World Archery rules and are the international federation's primary vehicle for promoting archery as an elite sport. World Archery is also responsible for coordinating the archery competitions at the Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games, Paralympic Games and World Games. These events remain the properties of their respective owners.
World ranking Events: Athletes that compete at world ranking events earn points towards their World Archery ranking. There are minimum standard requirements for these events, including in results collection, verification and submission and the appointment of judges of an appropriate standard. World ranking events are awarded by World Archery's continental associations in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.

Hauser wants UK startups to cash in on European initiative
Cambridge serial entrepreneur and VC Dr Hermann Hauser is spearheading a €multibillion European initiative designed to propel more science & technology startups to commercial success.
He says the European Innovation Council €10 billion pilot venture could easily triple in value through cumulative buy-in and urges politicians and business executives to crush Brexit and help Europe take its place as one of the world's three dominant economies alongside the US and China.
Dr Hauser has been named vice-chair of the EIC's advisory board and in an interview with Business Weekly revealed that superchip architect Arm – Cambridge's greatest ever technology business – may not have even survived had it not been for European financial support.
He said: "Arm's first CEO, Robin Saxby, has always maintained that when the fledgling business was trying to make ends meet in the early days it only got through the crisis thanks to the financial support of Europe's Open Microprocessor Initiative.
"It most certainly would not have grown into the incredible global technology world leader that it has become today. Some people mistakenly think Europe is for the birds but the Arm success story paints the true picture."
Dr Hauser, who co-founded Arm out of his Acorn empire, said the EIC initiative was timely for Britain for a number of reasons – not least because it offered crucial cash and scale-up support to young UK companies while politicians threatened to ruin the country's economic prospects by recklessly pursuing Brexit.
He said: "Britain is doing very well in Europe in a lot of ways, notably on the research side where universities and companies are benefiting from vital funding for collaborative projects. But we are still not creating enough successes out of the startup community and need to commercialise much greater volumes of our science & technology research.
"This new €10bn pilot venture, including equity, is so important in that respect and will crowd in two or even three times the initial amount; imaging what €30bn could help us achieve.
"Everyone in Brussels wants Britain in Europe and all the politicians in Britain that I speak to tell me they are keen to participate in initiatives with the EU; we simply cannot allow this venture to suffer from neglect. Brexit is sheer idiocy.
Dr Hauser added: "This is time for Britain to get behind initiatives like the EIC but everyone here seems frozen. The way the world should be going is for the economic powerhouses to be America, China and Europe – there is no other game if people are being sensible.
"The idiocy of Brexit is that we need Britain to stand up against the US and China as an economic powerhouse. If Britain goes with a totally irrational no deal then we run the risk of struggling to compete against the likes of Malta.
"Cambridge is Europe's No.1 technology centre but when you look at the figures for the whole of Europe it is still so far behind the US in terms of risk capital.
"We don't have a money problem – we have an asset allocation problem. Europe has five times less the VC allocation of the US. This is one of the economic issues the EIC is trying to address."
The European Commission echoes Dr Hauser's sentiments and says Europe needs to capitalise on its science and startups to compete in global markets increasingly defined by new technologies.
The Commission has appointed 22 exceptional innovators from the worlds of entrepreneurship, venture capital, science and technology to the European Innovation Council Advisory Board, which will provide strategic leadership to the EIC.
The Board will oversee the roll out of the current pilot and lead the strategy and design of the EIC under Horizon Europe.
The Commission has also served notice to recruit the first EIC programme managers. Inspired by the renowned US agency DARPA, the EIC programme managers will be experts in their fields, able to work closely with fast moving technology projects and open doors to the wider ecosystem.

Carlos Moedas, the EU Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation said: "With the EIC, we are filling a critical funding gap in the innovation ecosystem and putting Europe at the forefront of market creating innovation.
"I am delighted that the EIC will be advised by some of Europe's most accomplished innovators and investors,and that we will be bringing in talented programme managers to get the work off the ground.
"Also, the Commission has announced €149m for the latest round of 83 SMEs and startups to be awarded EIC Accelerator Pilot grants (previously known as the SME Instrument Phase 2).
"The SMEs and startups are all developing potential game-changing innovations, such as: next generation of safe and environmentally-friendly light aircrafts; anti-bacterial textile for hospitals; 3D audio software; motion planning technology for autonomous driving; and a superbot for audio calls.
"In addition, the Commission has announced €164m to 53 new EIC Pathfinder pilot grants for bottom-up high-risk, high-impact research ideas (previously known as FET Open).
"Projects include metal-free MRI contrast agents; treatment to replace antibiotics in lung infection diseases; custom-crafted graphene nanostructures; precise measuring and monitoring of highly penetrating particles in deep space; artificial proteins for biological light-emitting diodes; and many other ideas."

Biomechanical Evaluation for the Mechanism of Martial Art "Fa-Jin" and "Hua-Jin"
Abstract Background: 「Yin jin luo kung he ji chu」is a sentence of Chun theory, it means that change the direction of force attacking from the opponent and make the opponent lose balance (Hua-Jin), and then push the opponent away (Fa-Jin). Purposes: In the 1st year, we evaluate the mechanism of Fa-Jin by muscle activity, kinematics and kinetics. In the 2nd year, we evaluate the mechanism of Hua-Jin by kinematics, kinetics, and electromyography. In the 3rd year, we evaluate the mechanism of "Yin jin luo kung he ji chu"by muscle activity, kinematics and kinetics, and build a model to show how the movement activate. Methods: Vicon motion analysis system, Kistler force plates, and Noraxon electromyography will be used to monitor and analyze the trajectory of COM, joint kinematics, ground reaction force and muscle activity of twelve martial art experts during Fa-Jin in the 1st year and Hua-Jin in the 2nd year, separately. In the 3rd year, the trajectory of COM, joint kinematics, ground reaction force and muscle activity of twelve martial art experts will be recorded by Vicon motion analysis system, Kistler force plates, and Noraxon electromyography during practicing Hua-Jin and Fa-Jin in sequence. Friedman two-way analysis of variance by ranks and χ2 methods will be used to access the statistics, and the significant level is set as α=.05.

Brie Larson Admits She Just Wants This 1 Thing from Disney
In a year marked by several high-profile Disney successes, Avengers: Endgame is unlikely to be unseated as 2019's biggest hit. That film closes off one era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but presents the franchise with a new challenge. Going forward, the MCU will take a very different shape, but one thing is certain: Brie Larson's Captain Marvel will play a prominent role.
The Oscar-winning actress led Captain Marvel to a $1.1 billion worldwide box office. She also played a small yet pivotal role in the battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. For her efforts in boosting Disney's bottom line though, Larson only wants one thing in return.
Brie Larson on the red carpet | Gregg DeGuire/FilmMagic
A long history with Disney
Prior to playing the MCU's Carol Danvers, Larson was best known for indie films such as Short Term 12 and supporting roles in films like 21 Jump Street. Because of her work for Marvel, she's now a full-on superhero. However, Larson's ties with Disney go way back.
In fact, the actress's very first movie role was the 2003 Disney Channel original Right on Track. Inspired by a true story, the film follows a pair of sisters (Larson and Beverly Mitchell) who become junior drag race champions.
Now Right on Track is streaming on Disney+. So fans can check out the future Captain Marvel star's role in the film for themselves. In fact, Larson herself gave Right on Track a shout-out on a recent Instagram post.
Let the record show that I have been committed to transformations for my craft since 2003. Right on Track is def streaming on Disney+ so enjoy that. #tbt
A post shared by Brie (@brielarson) on Nov 21, 2019 at 12:18pm PST
What the 'Captain Marvel' star wants
That wasn't the end of Larson's Right on Track references though. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, DeGeneres asked Larson about her experience working on Avengers: Endgame. After bringing up the film's massive $2.8 billion success, the host asked Larson if she received any back-end profits from the film. The actress, without missing a beat, dodged that question by dropping an even bigger bombshell.
"I don't even have a Disney+ account," Larson said, to DeGeneres' shock. "I was going to use this opportunity to ask." Looking directly into the camera, the actress made a request to the team at Disney. "[I'm still] waiting for my Disney+ comped account," she said. "I've got multiple pieces of art on your streaming service, including one of my first and best roles I've ever done, Right on Track, which is a Disney Channel original movie."
The audience cheered at the mention of Right on Track, to Larson's proud delight. That reaction is a testament to how much of a fanbase even Disney's more obscure titles have. Perhaps that devotion accounts for a fraction of the streaming service's success so far.
What is Brie Larson up to now?
Other than a nostalgic trip back to Right on Track, Larson is keeping plenty busy. She might not be suiting up as Captain Marvel again just yet. The sequel has yet to be officially announced but is expected to arrive around 2022. For the moment, her schedule appears to be fairly clear, leaving the longtime actress with an opportunity to enjoy a break and plan her next move.
But fans can still see Larson co-starring opposite fellow MCU star Michael B. Jordan in legal drama Just Mercy, due for release on December 25. She also recently appeared in an episode of survival reality show Running Wild with Bear Grylls. That series just moved over to National Geographic for season 5, firmly placing it as yet another Disney-owned property Larson has participated in.
No word on whether Disney will actually grant the actress that free Disney+ account, unfortunately.
