CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 27, 2017) - New Millennium Iron Corp. ("NML" or the "Company") (TSX:NML) announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.
The following review of the Company's financial performance is based on the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the year ended December 31, 2016, which have been filed on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
NML's principal activities in the fourth quarter and year were as follows:
On NML's principal asset - its taconite properties: 1) Completion of the NuTac initiative pre-feasibility study, under which the Company carried out an in-house analysis of an approach to taconite development that considers all of NML's taconite deposits, applies transferable information from the 2014 Taconite Project feasibility studies, contemplates using existing rail and port infrastructure as opposed to the slurry transportation mode assumed in the earlier studies, and is sized for a smaller market entry position; 2) filing on SEDAR of the NuTac NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared in collaboration with a group of Independent Qualified Persons; and 3) a retrospective change in accounting policy regarding mineral exploration and evaluation expenditures in order to recognize these expenditures directly to profit or loss instead of capitalizing them as mineral exploration and evaluation assets.
At the general NML corporate level: 1) Appointment of Mr. Howard Lutley as the new Chair of the Board of Directors; 2) changes to the Board at the Annual General Meeting, with appointments of two independent successor directors; 3) formation of special committee at Board level to focus on strategic options for the Company; 4) further corporate restructuring, including the appointment of Mr. Ernest Dempsey as CEO on an interim basis; 5) earlier requisitioned Special Meeting of shareholders and vote against Director Removal Resolution; and 6) notice of termination of the July 2012 contract with the Sept-Îles in respect of the multi-user dock, including its take-or-pay provisions.
On Tata Steel Minerals Canada Ltd. ("TSMC"), in which NML owns a 4.32% equity interest and includes ownership and operation of a direct shipping ore ("DSO") project: 1) regular shipping of crushed and screened ore to Europe and China, with 10 cargoes totaling approximately 1.6 million tonnes in the 2016 operating season; and 2) completion of a $175 million transaction through which agencies of the Government of Quebec provided $50 million of debt and $125 million equity financing to TSMC, acquiring an 18% ownership interest as a result.
The Company's net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2016 is $1,184,000 ($0.01 per share) compared to a restated net loss of $1,659,000 ($0.01 per share) for the comparative period in 2015. The reduction in net loss was mainly due to a decline in mineral exploration and evaluation expenses from $394,000 in Q4 2015 to a recovery of $14,000 in Q4 2016. The general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,321,000 in Q4 2015 to $1,271,000 in Q4 2016 despite an increase in restructuring charges from $91,000 in Q4 2015 to $689,000 in Q4 2016. The remaining general and administrative expenses decreased by $648,000 from $1,230,000 in Q4 2015 to $582,000 in Q4 2016. The most significant items affecting general and administrative expenses are a decline in salaries, wages and benefits to $265,000 in Q4 2016 from $551,000 in Q4 2015, a decline in consulting, legal and professional fees to $147,000 in Q4 2016 from $336,000 in Q4 2015 and a decline in office and general to $40,000 in Q4 2016 from $107,000 in Q4 2015.
NML's working capital at December 31, 2016 is $14,435,000, a decrease of $5,076,000 from the restated December 31, 2015 total of $19,511,000.
The Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $5,573,000 ($0.03 per share) compared to a restated net loss of $32,611,000 ($0.18 per share) for the 2015 fiscal year. The most significant difference between the years is that in 2015 there was an impairment of the investment in TSMC in the amount of $26,798,000 for which there was no impairment in 2016. The 2016 loss is comprised of general and administrative expenses of $5,536,000 (2015 - $5,319,000) and mineral exploration and evaluation expenses of $591,000 (2015 - $1,338,000), net of investment income of $209,000 (2015 - $559,000), service fee revenue of $345,000 (2015 - $Nil) and reversal of provision of $Nil (2015 - $285,000). The increase in the 2016 general and administrative expenses is due to an increase in restructuring charges from a 2015 recovery of $19,000 to an expense of $1,209,000 in 2016 and that there was no recovery from Tata Steel in 2016 while there was a $1,292,000 recovery in 2015. The remainder of the 2016 general and administrative expenses declined to $4,327,000 from $6,630,000 in 2015. The largest changes in these expenses were salaries, wages and benefits decreasing from $2,436,000 in 2015 to $1,572,000, consulting, legal and professional fees decreasing from $1,890,000 in 2015 to $1,576,000 in 2016 and office and general expenses decreasing from $750,000 in 2015 to $354,000 in 2016.
About New Millennium
NML is a Canadian iron ore development company with an extensive property position in Canada's principal iron ore district, the Labrador Trough, straddling the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Province of Québec, in the Menihek Region around Schefferville, Québec. The Company's project areas are connected via a well-established, heavy-haul rail network to the Port of Sept-Îles, Québec.
The Company is in a strategic partnership with Tata Steel, a global steel producer and industry leader. Tata Steel owns approximately 26.2% of the Company and is the Company's largest shareholder.
NML has a minority interest in Tata Steel Minerals Canada Ltd. ("TSMC"), which is owner and operator of a direct shipping ore ("DSO") project in the Schefferville/Menihek region of Canada's Labrador Trough. The DSO project produces and ships sinter fines. Subsidiaries of Tata Steel and the Quebec Government's financing arm, Investissement Québec, are also shareholders of TSMC.
Beyond TSMC, the Company offers further development potential through seven, long-life taconite properties capable of producing high quality pellets and pellet feed to service the requirements of steel makers with either blast furnace or direct reduced iron making operations. Two of these deposits - LabMag and KéMag - were the subject of large-scale development feasibility studies carried out by the Company and Tata Steel and published in March 2014.
With these feasibility study results as a foundation and all seven taconite properties now explored to a NI 43-101 compliant resource, the Company can optimize its taconite development strategy and is currently focused on a smaller market entry project called the NuTac Project Initiative, for which a prefeasibility study was carried out and published in June 2016.
NML's mission is to add shareholder value through the responsible development of the MIR and other mineral projects to create a new source of raw materials for the world's iron and steel industries. NML continues to implement cash conservation measures, while also protecting its mineral claims and iron ore development positioning and maintaining sufficient liquidity pending the Company's ability to raise additional financing and further advance its development strategy.

When mounting a component onto a circuit board, the component must be held against the board with a low acceleration for a specific duration. To satisfy this requirement, an appropriate control force profile must be determined.
The stamping operation comprises three modes: (i) the movement of the component toward the board, (ii) the holding against the board, and (iii) the release of the component.
In the holding mode, the numerical simulation must handle the large reaction force that is exerted by the board. This results in a time constant much faster than in the two other modes. So, the system is considered numerically stiff.
A variable step solver that is necessary to efficiently handle stiff behavior is explicitly modeled. Because the solver model is discrete, Simulink Design Verifier can be applied to the problem of finding a required control force profile.
Details about the theoretical background can be found in the article "A Computational Model of Time for Stiff Hybrid Systems Applied to Control Synthesis" by P.J. Mosterman, J. Zander, G. Hamon, and B. Denckla as published in the August 2011 issue of the IFAC journal Control Engineering Practice.

As deposit holders withdrew nearly $1 billion from Greek banks on Monday, concerns mounted across Europe and around the world that Greece might withdraw from the Euro and return to its previous currency, the drachma (pictured above).
While Greek officials disputed reports that there was a "run" on the country's banks, Greek consumers, who withdrew billions in a 2010 panic, are determined to hold cash assets in the Euro rather than in a devalued drachma.
European leaders are urging Greece to stay in the Euro, but as Greece faces the collapse of talks to form a new government, the prospect of new elections next month, crushing debt, and a banking system under severe pressure, there may be no alternative to withdrawal.

I'm guessing if you're on this site you're either a Star Wars fan or you at least know of it.
There's this game that came out a while back called X-Wing, produced by fantasy flight games. If you haven't heard of this game I'll put a link up later. It's basically a skirmish game involving Rebel and Imperial starcraft. TIE fighters, X-Wings and the amazing Millennium Falcon, which we all want to fly.
So for those of you who are familiar with X-Wing, you'll be interested to know that there are expansions that are about to become available. So YAY!
Here for your geek gaze only are a few pictures taken at Gen Con 2013.
First up the new Lambda-class Shuttle Expansion Pack.
We all remember this from the films now you get to fight with it, there's also 12 upgrades for you to enjoy.
Next up we have the TIE Interceptor Expansion Pack.
This little craft is going to be packing a mighty punch with missiles, torpedoes and bombs. Although not as agile, it certainly won't be overlooked.
Next up is the HWK-290 Expansion Pack.
This is the Rebel answer to the Lambda-class and again rewards players, who like to fly in formation and with good support options.
Finally the B-Wing Expantion Pack, one of my personal favourites.
There's something about the design I just love, almost as much as the Millennium Falcon.
The B-Wing can get into the thick of it very well with system upgrades a cannon and 2 torpedoes, it's got the firepower to deal with a lot of foes.
Thats it for X-Wing, but I'll leave you with a few pictures from this years Gen Con.
Star Trek Catan.
Blue Moon Legends.
The Giant Damon Queen of Spiders.
Firefly The Game.
A full size D&D live dungeon.
The Doom That Came To Atlantic City.
And finally those cosplay girls most people really go to see.
So as ever leave a comment. Also if you've been lucky enough to attend Gen Con, let us know.
Also here's the promised link of Star Wars X-Wing in action http://t.co/k3fvyoq47a

04 September 1987 110 mins
The life and times of the Scandinavian artists' colony who lived in Skagen on the Danish coast during the 1890s. Not so much a biographical account, rather a portrait of a way of life. The painters became famous for the way they used the light in their work, and this has also been mirrored in the cinematography.

After School @ BB
Busy Bees took over the running of After School Club in June 2012
*** We are now very busy at After School Club and advise parents to book sessions as far in advance as they can. Although we still try to be as flexible as possible, this is difficult now we are busier. ***
Our After School Club @ BB runs every afternoon during term time from 3pm - 6pm. Staff from Busy Bees collect the children from Nursery, Reception and KS1 and then wait in the school library for the older children. The children from KS2 make their own way to the library where they meet the staff and everyone makes their way up to Busy Bees.
Children happily and confidently make the transition from school to After School Club @ BB, possibly helped by Busy Bees being on the site of Ledbury Primary School.
Children sit down for a healthy and nutritious snack when they arrive at Busy Bees. It is essential that parents inform us of any dietary requirements prior to their children starting. There is a section on the registration form regarding dietary information.
During their time at After School Club, children have access to a wide range of activities and play experiences, both indoors and outdoors. At Busy Bees, we very much value the importance of outdoor play and learning and operate a free flow system. We feel it is important for children to have access to the outdoors when they choose.
Our charges are calculated on an hourly rate, beginning at 3pm. Collection between 3pm and 4pm will cost £4.50, collection between 4pm and 5pm will be £6 and collection between 5pm and 6pm is £9. Our invoices are generated at the end of each month and payments must be made within 7 days. As we are a charity, it is even more essential that payments are received on time. Please be aware that should the end of the month fall during holidays, invoices will be generated on the last day of school prior to holidays commencing.
We require 24 hours notice from parents wanting to cancel booked sessions. If children booked in do not attend and we have not been notified 24 hours in advance, we charge the full rate of £9.
Please find below a copy of our snack menu for the first half of the Autumn term.

As you get older you begin to realize that you will not run your lifetime personal best time in an event, especially if you were an avid runner in your younger days. Despite having more experience and being much wiser than you were in your earlier days, father time places limitations on you that prevent you being able to run as fast as you could when you were 25 years old!
To keep your motivation you have to reset your expectations and goals, here are few things to try.
To keep your motivation you have to reset your expectations and goals, here are few things to try.
- Retire your PR's and start on a new set when you reach age 40 (and even again when you reach 50!).
- Find some events that you might not have run in your younger days (I did not run my first marathon until I was 40!)
- Use age grading scales to compare your performances to that of your younger days. Age grading is based off world records for each age, and gives you an idea of how your performance compares to that of a 25 year old. It also gives you a score, so you can compare to your performances in other events. More on Age grading can be found here: http://www.usatf.org/statistics/calculators/agegrading/
- Join USA Track and Field and participate in the many programs they have available for Master runners. Aside from events set up exclusively for master runners, the also have awards especially for master runners
- The Phidippides Award is given for recognition of participation in road races. Master runners are awarded points for competing in events throughout the year, the longer the event the more points. Earn enough points and you are eligible for the award, and will receive a free plaque to commemorate your accomplishment! Find out more at this link: http://www.usatf.org/Resources-for---/Masters/LDR/Phidippides-Award.aspx
- Finally, if you still have some speed left in your legs you can earn All American status. USATF members are eligible for All American status if they meet the time standards set for their age group. Find out if you are eligible here: http://www.nationalmastersnews.com/aa_main.htm

Nikon FM2/T SLR film camera
Recently a classic Nikon FM2/T SLR film camera and several Nikkor lenses arrived at the studio door. This adventure all got started over Xmas, Ben and his girlfriend invited me camping and fishing at Windy Harbour. Connla had black-and-white film she wanted to expose so I offered her my Pentax K1000 to shoot with. I still love that camera, it's now the same age as my son - 30 years old. We developed the film back at the studio - it was a joy to see the great images the old Pentax captured. Shooting with my Leica M on a beach always gives me goose-bumps!
Playing with the old Pentax got me thinking - better find a backup SLR that will see us all into the future. Up to around 2001 Nikon produced a semi-professional Titanium bodied SLR model called the FM2/T for extreme conditions, this would be the SLR for me. Over the past week I've been shooting with the Nikon, capturing environmental self portraits to document a recent wood sculpture project in the workshop.
My Nikon experience is bring me great joy - Nikkor lenses produce stunning high quality images, similar to Leica glass! It's hard to believe a $300 Nikkor lens captures images as good as the equivalent focal length Leica lens worth $3000. This could simply be the magic of gelatin silver processing of black-and-white films and printing papers?
At the end of the day I am left to ponder " a great photograph knows not the maker of the lens"
This Close-up photo was taken with a Nikkor 85mm f2 lens
This wide-angle photo was taken with a Nikkor 35mm f2 lens

What is the best launch pad for your engineering career? For two engineers at consulting engineer firm Hockley and Dawson, the answer is a year in industry.
Peter Levi and Katherine Buxton are both in their early career, Peter having started his civil engineering degree in 2007 while Katherine is now completing her first year of work after her degree in the same subject.
They have followed a very similar career path to date, both completed a pre-university gap year on 'The Year in Industry' (YINI) with Hockley and Dawson and both returned to work at the company in their vacations and after graduation.
Hockley and Dawson are specialists in conservation engineering and Peter and Katherine have worked on royal palaces, historic monuments and churches as well as on simpler structures such as houses, schools and swimming pools.
Peter recalls working on two major projects at the Tower of London and the Foreign Office, excellent experience for an aspiring engineer.
The company typically takes two gap year students on YINI each year; generally they will be trained for a couple of weeks as CAD technicians and then work with project teams on the CAD aspects of projects, large and small.
The benefits of YINI
Spending his gap year in a working environment away from home was a big attraction for Peter, not only did he enjoy the freedom of being away but he also earned a salary which gave him flexibility and enabled him to save for university.
He also discovered that the year gave him hard and soft skills, which were useful in his degree.
"The CAD training and experience was very valuable but equally gaining confidence and personal skills such as teamwork and time management was also useful," he says. "Most important, however, was the experience of engineering as a job which provided me with the motivation to work through difficult exams as I could see the end purpose of my studies."
Similarly Katherine found the office skills and personal skills she gained useful in her degree and early career, as well as the management training and additional maths skills training organised by EDT. People skills such as working in teams and dealing with clients proved particularly useful alongside the practical benefits of being trained as a CAD technician.
Having studied maths, further maths, and physics along with French at A level Katherine was clear that she had an interest in civil engineering as a career, but it was the year at Hockley and Dawson that focused her interest on the use of civil and structural engineering in architecture and conservation.
However, the gap year sometimes clarifies thinking in other ways.
"One of my contemporaries on 'The Year in Industry' realised that engineering was not for him and that a career in architecture would be preferable. Either way YINI can act as a decision aider, confirming forward direction," Peter notes.
Aiding career development
Both Peter and Katherine were fortunate in being offered sponsorship at university by Hockley and Dawson; not a common occurrence, although across all companies about 25 per cent of placement students are offered sponsorship of some form.
As Peter acknowledges, this provides some considerable stability, providing helpful financial support at university and useful vacation work during the holidays, together with an assured first job at the end of studies.
Katherine has taken this a stage further as, after her current placement she is to return to Bristol University to complete her master's degree, which will include elements particularly relevant to her work before returning to Hockley and Dawson for three years.
Katherine has found her current placement year very interesting as she has enjoyed an intermediate position between the 18 and 19-year-old YINI placements presently with the firm and the engineering teams of more senior people such as Peter.
"This has placed me in a position where I have had an informal mentoring role with the placement students, helping them integrate with the engineering teams. I have found this useful in observing how teams work and how mentoring and supervision is best achieved."
Peter also finds the mentoring and supervision of students that his role requires very helpful in personal development.
"Your communications skills are certainly honed when you have to explain systems and concepts to a new starter unfamiliar with the terminology, the practices and technical expertise which are generally assumed in an engineering project environment," he says.
"You have to think very clearly and communicate very effectively to allow the new starter to start making as effective a contribution to the team as they are able. Showing others how to do things helps you think through why you do things the way you do, and gives you practice in managing other people - a key skill for any engineer."

"Thirdly and finally", he said, "I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT". He spoke the last word so loudly and suddenly that everyone sat up who still could. "I regret to announce that - though, as I said, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to spend among you - this is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOOD-BYE!"
- Bilbo Baggins, 'A Long-Expected Party', The Lord of the Rings.
In a surprising turn, it is discovered that it is *MY HAIR* that is the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde, and is now committed in an affair with my haircomb, which naturally turned out to be Bosie.
Don't ask.
In other news, Oscar Wilde? IS FLAMINGLY GAY KTHXBAI. [/ends obscure reference to conversation with colleague who insists that it's all just rumours and hearsay - "you know, some people say he was gay." ".... HE WAS GAY!"]
C'mon people, it's a universal truth, like the rotation of the sun and Sir Ian McKellan's sexuality.
...Oh, I just know one day I'll get into a futile argument about George Michael and Boy George...
It's funny how, for someone who hungers life so much, that I spend so much time in front of the computer. But honestly, I feel like I want to be and do everything. One lifetime will never be enough. It'll be great if I was a Pretender, like Jarod, but I'm not, so...
I have decided that claiming myself to be the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde to be the most suitable explanation for myself. Yes, it goes a long way to explain my dilettante tendencies, the snarky humour and general drama queen-ness. Also, God was sorry for all the time I spent in jail, so here I am a female, safe to perv on the many lovely males out there. Maybe when there comes a time when such things is no longer taboo, I'll be back to a guy again. Ha. ;)
Of course if anything should happen, as Yasmin may be the reincarnation of Oliver Cromwell, she'll spring me out of jail the day she topples the government. Presumably after singing an Abba song. Never mind, it's one of those annoying in-jokes that you'll never understand.
On the matter of genderbenders, Malay males are the most fascinating creatures ever. On any other race or culture, common perception dictates that if a man acts like a foppy queen, he probably is one. He doesn't need to show you the sparkly boas to let you know that he swings for the other team.
(Tangent: last week's Queer Eye - dude, how disturbingly amusing it was to watch Thom do his Latina Queen impression? And Carson? There is no such thing as 'pant'. There isn't. There's 'pants' and well, 'pants'. There's a reason WHY IT'S CALLED A *PAIR* OF PANTS! Um, phew. You may work for the Fashion Police, but obviously you failed the Grammar Police entrance exam. Aww, you know I still love you. Don't pout. Put that wire hanger away.)
But I know most well enough to take their declarations that they are "STRAIGHT!" at face value. Of course they could be so deeply in the closet, I need the SMART team to get them out, but ok yeah, you with the limp wrists? You're straight? OK, fine. No cognitive dissonance here.
The thing is, and here is the thing, Malay males pick up the mannerisms so well. There are those who, in some situations, act like regular Joes with the attendant hygiene, yet throw them into certain situations, with or without similar friends, they queen out. Seriously. Bukan mak nyah. But that phenomenon know euphemistically as 'lelaki lembut'.
The thing I desperately want to know, since mimicry is adopting traits you consider useful or appealing, what is it that makes that entire set of mannerisms attractive for your average Malay male? Let's take... my brother as an example. He's not an extreme case, but thrown into a private college whose predominant demographics isn't Malay, he's been mistaken for gay. He doesn't mind, he runs with the whole stereotype and he still bag chicks. (My brother, the closet metrosexual. You have to applaud his single-minded dedication to the fairer sex, after all he discovered the other secret to be a chick magnet - queer-fy yourself.)
And let's not talk about my beloved alma mater, UiTM. With 90% Malay, some days I think we can hold a Mardi Gras here and no one would mind. (As long as there's free food.)
So Malay men, answer the question. Stop spamming my tagboard with questions about tips for masturbating (dear god, if you need to know that, get a new brain) and answer me. Is it because y'all are all majorly repressing? Do you have Oedipal issues? Was that a big word? Ok, do you have an unhealthy fixation on your mother? Your father? Your flamingly gay 'bachelor' uncle? What?
Hold on to your hats guys. Evacuation is in progress.
Listening to Jet's 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl?' on continuous repeat while perusing the photos of the Fabulous Five is a VERY GOOD THING.
I *love* Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Madly in love with it. LOVE! All of them, I can't decide. I seriously couldn't. Good thing they're gay. (And I'm here.)
Also, this is my last day of internship. Watch me type furiously, trying to finish my backlog of articles. Watch! Watch!
More than anything, it has taught me this: I seriously need to recharge my batteries often. Damn Libran tendencies. I was meant to be a dilletante. Gawdammit. I'm a bit sad. But mostly happy.
Why? Because now I can concentrate on my organ lessons and Japanese dammit!!! Fallen by the wayside because of work, they have. Poor babies.
Speaking of Japanese, I sent in my scholarship essay already. It's for the 2004 JAL Scholarship. Went myself to hand it in to the office in Jalan Ampang. And there were like, this pile of envelopes already. WARGH!! I'm not going to get it!
And not two hours later, a lady called. She wanted to know when I wrote that I'm in third year, is that my final year in uni? And I said yes. And in a hesitant tone of voice, she concluded that means the scholarship trip will take place during the final term.
"Oh, I said, "I'll be having my holidays then."
I still can't decide if the call is a good thing or a bad thing...
The things we do for our dreams. Speaking of which, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN TJ!!! *mwaks*
Playing Jet's 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' on continuous repeat is a GOOD THING.
That is all. :)
Rock is not dead!! But modern rock still sucks. *puts on her retro hat*
I wish *I* could go to the School of Rock.
Ok, the thing about being at the City desk? There are just so many *pointless* events that wants to be covered. Bleh. So tiring. So I'm finally online. And I live in fear of the thought of catching up (with various blogs, links, friend's lists and what-not).
But in any case, I now have purplish hair! I look like a reject from Jem and the Holograms, but it's all good.
Errmm.. updates of my life: One of my Japanese teachers went back to Japan and we did a little farewell party at one of the restaurants at the Japan Club. I only had green tea and filched some Japanese ice kacang cos not halal. Oh woe. But someone gave me their ebi tempura so it's all good. :P
But my point? Ah yes, the elusive point. Since it was necessary to speak Japanese, I did so. Badly. Grammar considerations all flew out of the window. Wah, I think it's reverse karma for all the fun I made of the Japanese and their Engrish. :D
With that in mind, why did I choose to explain to the other teacher about the Reformation and Protestant break from the Catholic Church again?
And being fangirls, one of the few important considerations Haz and I had in planning this trip to London is.... making sure we leave AFTER 'Troy' and 'King Arthur' and possibly 'Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban' opens here.
Damn you United Kingdom! Why must your movie distribution be sooooo slow?
Also, because I'd be living with her parents, my parents want to meet her parents yadda yadda, dinner or something. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's like we're getting married.
Jangan marah Jeanie honey. :D
And if this goes on, I may be the only one in the world writing Double Score fic in English. HAH.
And my LJ flist is abuzzing with about how the word 'Jew' is being googlebombed. As, like Jeanie, I've disallowed search robots to index my LJ, doing my bit there would be stupid. So here goes: Jew. Jew. Jew. Jew. Jew. Jew. Jew. And finally, Jew.
Today I learned that I am a little too independent, blunt and has a slight problem with money - namely I indulge myself and my friends a little too much.
But apparently I'll come to inheritance, marry someone foreign, and generally see my fortunes improve as I grow older.
I'm such a girl to be taken by a free numerology reading.
It is with much amusement to note that I get my dose of workplace gossip from, of all places, Jeff Ooi's Screenshots. AHAHA. Tempat keja wa feymes. :)
If I see one more press release to write up I will die. Oh, here's one! *dies*
Bleh. Since I can only depend on what the release says, I have to cut through the naturally occuring hyperbole, to get itty bitty minty centre. Though I like mint.
I can't decide which is worse - the brain-numbing stupor of regurgitating press releases... or the brain-numbing frustration of being unable to come up with a good lead. Or actually coming up with a theme or a point to start with. I am aimless! Lost, precious, lost!
[/drama queen]
Got some awards to cover tonight. Jadi bidan terjun. That's great, the day I come in looking like blah.
Time to break out the Punjabi dress.
Dude, this is so not the entry I wanted to blog.
Late night, so excuse me if I'm paraphrasing Obi-Wan Kenobi wrongly.
Ok, I would like to take this moment to mock 8TV's promo for The OC. You know, when the narrator solemnly intones, "enter the life of Ryan," my brain goes to a funny place, where it goes instead, "enter, the Life of Brian."
Which reminds me, my Monty Python education is sadly lacking.
But never mind that. That's nothing, and completely not their fault. What gets my gander though is this:
As he leaves the town of Chino, into California...
I'm reminded of my brother, when he was seven, during dinner. He was nearly in tears because he was demanding that he wants to move out of Petaling Jaya... into Selangor. Because he heard good things about Selangor, like... I dunno.
Anyway, me and mum spent much minutes trying to convince him he can't do that because PJ *is* in Selangor.
He was like, "No! No! I don't want to be in PJ! I want to live in Selangor!!"
Obviously, Seven-Year-Old!Brother and 8TV shares the same idiocy in geography. But at least my brother WAS seven. What's 8TV's excuse?
My point: Chino *is* in California, you doofus.
Still, props for surreptitiously slipping the promo for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy during America's Next Top Model advert. That is quite smooth. I approve.
But Chino is still in California.

Small kitchen design Indian style is very modern and stylish which is why you might want to use some inspiration from this style for your own kitchen. This style usually made up so the appliance and other furniture can be arranged in certain way to ensure the effectiveness of your kitche
Modern and Stylish Small kitchen design Indian
First tips that you can use from this Indian kitchen design for small space is by using circular layout. This will make the furniture on your small kitchen arranged effectively as it takes minimum space plus the movement in your kitchen also flows nicely. For the seating try to use folding chairs that you can store away if it is not in use, you can also try to clear off the upper wall area so it can be used to hang utensils that you often use.
Small kitchen interior design ideas in Indian apartments usually have cabinets and drawers so you can store items easily. Use cabinets that reach high to the ceiling to ensure no space is wasted then on the highest place you can store items that you rarely use. Try to use hidden grips for the drawer and cabinet doors so it will look sleek and unfussy. But for door itself, try to use sliding door or folding door if necessary since it will not block the space in any way.
For simple kitchen design for middle class family backsplash, it is better to use ceramic since it is easier to clean. You can still use marbles for flooring if you want to add some esthetic style to the kitchen. Still you need to use cool and bright color to make the room feels larger. Do not use unnecessary accessory which could make your room feel crowded and unstylish. Keep small kitchen design Indian style clean but store electronic appliance in the right level to make sure it is reachable.

Firefighter VS Police Officer Salary
Everyone needs a financial backing to help them live life the way they deem fit. Thus, when it comes to selecting a career, people are always curious about how much they might earn out of it.According to an article by Larry T. Hoover published in Monthly Labor Review Online, firefighters and police in most jurisdictions earned comparable wages up until the 1960s, as both were considered to be essential public safety workers. Since the 1970s, however, wage parity between police and firefighters has steadily eroded.
"Police and firefighter salaries and benefits, at least in Ontario, are the most obvious examples of the waste of public resources. Both of them are now making about $100k a year plus very generous benefits and pensions. These positions do not require high compensation in order to attract capable applicants. Every time one becomes available 100s or 1000s of applicants show up." Read More here….
What's a better Salary – a police officer or a firefighter?
Few jobs are considered more essential than those performed by police officers and firefighters. Police are charged with the responsibility to protect the public from criminals and uphold the law. Firefighters are called into action not only when a fire occurs but also in situations involving traffic accidents, health emergencies and structural danger.
"We tend to take for granted the differences between various groups of workers in remuneration, aside from some extreme inequalities. But why should it be, for example, that a police officer up to the rank of sergeantis paid more than39,000 a year, while a firefighter up to watch manager is paid just over 31,000? One would hardly argue that firefighters perform a less demanding, or less valuable job." Read more here…
Both the jobs require the applicant to have a high school diploma. They both encourage higher education to improve your chances at promotion and a higher salary. For fighters, a degree or course in fire science is required. But in the case of police officers, they require you to have a degree in criminal justice.For any information visit to firefighter.education.

Mangrove swamps are found in tropical and subtropical tidal areas. Areas where mangal occurs include estuaries and marine shorelines. [ 5 ] Mangrove forests of the world in 2000 The intertidal existence to which these trees are adapted represents the major limitation to the number of species able to thrive in their habitat. High tide brings in salt water, and when the tide recedes, solar evaporation of the seawater in the soil leads to further increases in salinity. The return of tide can flush out these soils, bringing them back to salinity levels comparable to that of seawater. At low tide, organisms are also exposed to increases in temperature and desiccation, and are then cooled and flooded by the tide. Thus, for a plant to survive in this environment, it must tolerate broad ranges of salinity, temperature, and moisture, as well as a number of other key environmental factors-thus only a select few species make up the mangrove tree community.
About 110 species are considered "mangroves", in the sense of being a tree that grows in such a saline swamp, [ 5 ] though only a few are from the mangrove plant genus, Rhizophora . However, a given mangrove swamp typically features only a small number of tree species. It is not uncommon for a mangrove forest in the Caribbean to feature only three or four tree species. For comparison, the tropical rainforest biome contains thousands of tree species, but this is not to say mangrove forests lack diversity. Though the trees themselves are few in species, the ecosystem these trees create provides a home for a great variety of other organisms.
Mangrove plants require a number of physiological adaptations to overcome the problems of anoxia , high salinity and frequent tidal inundation . Each species has its own solutions to these problems; this may be the primary reason why, on some shorelines, mangrove tree species show distinct zonation. Small environmental variations within a mangal may lead to greatly differing methods for coping with the environment. Therefore, the mix of species is partly determined by the tolerances of individual species to physical conditions, such as tidal inundation and salinity, but may also be influenced by other factors, such as predation of plant seedlings by crabs.

Kitty Club (photo group) meeting of 2016. Yet again another place I've never been too. Beautiful area, the hike was pretty intense, but since we stop loads of times to take pictures it wasn't quite bad. I bet this place is even more beautiful and alive now that we have had so much rain.
I made a little video so be sure to check that out too! Click here or the "CONTINUE READING >>" to see the video!

Tonight's Evening Brief is brought to you by Breakfast Startup, where Ottawa's community, startup and business leaders meet to crack the code of success. Join us July 20th to Learn, Collaborate & Thrive.
The Lead:
We begin tonight with what is expected to be a timely show of continental political and economic unity. While the aftershocks of last week's Brexit vote continued today (see below), this week's North American leaders' summit and state visits by U.S. President Barack Obama and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto promised to emphasize strength in numbers. The week began with Pena Nieto's meeting in Quebec City with Premier Philippe Couillard today, and his pitch for North American economic integration. There was also a pre-summit tease that the U.S. and Mexico will use Wednesday's Three Amigos summit in Ottawa to announce that 50 per cent of their electricity will come from clean power sources by 2025. For Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Obama, the summit will showcase what has been a notable warming of the bilateral personal relationship, or what former PM Brian Mulroney tells our Janice Dickson was one of the two most important files on his desk. Here's "The Big Thaw: For two amigos, a welcome change of dynamic." And, as our Kyle Duggan reports, Amnesty International today called on the three leaders to put human rights and refugees on the summit agenda.
In Canada:
Just over a week after the Trudeau government's assisted dying bill received Royal Assent, the new law faces a court challenge from the group whose Supreme Court victory forced new legislation in the first place, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. Duggan has that story, too.
China appears to have quietly tightened its visa requirements for Canadian citizens born in Hong Kong who want to visit the mainland, requiring them to obtain two-year travel permits rather than the usual 10-year visitor visa. Our Amanda Connolly has that story.
The federal government is preparing the biggest refresh ever of its web content under a canada.ca umbrella. The Ottawa Citizen's Vito Pilieci has the full story.
In James Munson's Drilldown blog: U.S. and Mexico to unveil major clean energy pledge, plus all your other resource politics news.
In Kelsey Johnson's Sprout blog: Brexit vote's immediate aftermath for ag, plus all the other ag news you need to know.
Britain's vote to leave the European Union sent fresh turbulence through financial markets today, with the pound falling and S&P downgrading the U.K.'s credit rating despite the country's leaders' attempts to ease the political and economic turmoil it has unleashed. US Secretary of State John Kerry, in Brussels today for crisis meetings with EU officials, made a plea for sanity in the wake of last week's narrow vote in favour of a Britain-EU split, cautioning, "It is absolutely essential that we stay focused on how in this transitional period, nobody loses their head, nobody goes off half-cocked, people don't start moving on scatter-brained or revengeful premises." In Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, meeting with French President Francois Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (above), said there would be no "informal" talks with Britain over its exit until after the British Parliament activates Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. In France, Le Monde is leading with the sanguine, "Le 'Brexit' peut-il ne pas se produire?"
In Other Headlines:

- Israel and Turkey end six-year stand-off (The Guardian)
Today's Great Moment in Democracy: Grey's Anatomy actor Jesse Williams at the BET Awards last night, delivering what the Washington Post called "one of the most memorable speeches in award show history."
The Kicker:
Finally tonight… closing where we opened, on unity: Seal's exquisite, impromptu duet of "Stand by Me" with Montreal busker Deeh Pitre in front of Notre Dame basilica Saturday night.
Good night.

The Vampire Diaries -- Is Mason Leading Damon To Mikael?
The Original Witch Seems To Be Pulling Strings From The Otherside
In the promo that ran at the end of the show, there's a scene where Mason is asking Damon if he thinks he's leading him into a trap. This is pure speculation on that scene. This isn't a spoiler. Anyway, I'm wondering if Mason is leading Damon to Mikael.
One of the interesting things to come out of 3.06 was the revelation that Vicky cut a deal with the original witch that put the curse on Klaus to try and stop Klaus from making anymore hybrids. She wants the natural balance to be restored to the point she was going to use her powers to allow Vicky to remain back in the land of the living as a ghost if she could kill the doppelganger.
From that knowledge, I think we can make the assumption that it was this original witch that sent Vicky and Anna back with Jeremy, and not Bonnie bringing Jeremy back. She knew her curse had been removed and she took advantage of the situation to try and stop Klaus in his tracks. She even told Klaus that doppelganger had to be killed so even if Klaus broke the curse he still wouldn't be able to make hybrids. It was her back-up plan in case someone succeeded in breaking her curse.
Of course, when Bonnie and Matt teamed up to send Vicky back to the nether world, it seems like the original witch sent Mason back and sent him after Damon. Mason's exact words when he knocked Damon out was, "This is going to be fun." Perhaps the deal the original witch struck with Mason was he could get his pound of flesh from Damon, but he wasn't allowed to kill him.
The original witch may have sent Anna back because she knew where Mikael was entombed. Damon and Katherine forced Anna to tell them where to find Mikael, but the Damon rushed off to play devoted love swain to Elena, which lured Damon away from Mikael. But when Bonnie did her spell to send Vicky back the doorway between both worlds had to be opened and the original witch used the opportunity to send Mason back and to get Damon back on the right track so he'll connect up with Mikael, since she knows Mikael is dedicated to killing Klaus.
The interesting thing is that while Vicky and Anna have a connection to Jeremy, they also have a connection to Damon. Damon is the one who turned Vicky into a vampire and Damon was there when John Gilbert staked Anna. And now Mason is connected to Damon in that it was Damon who tortured him and killed him.
One thing I do wonder is if it's possible Damon could have some witch in him. It might explain why a lot of the witches hate his guts and are always trying to harm him. Damon protected Emily's family, she betrayed him, and she's always trying to harm him. Maybe she took exception to a witch willingly becoming a vampire. Maybe that's what the witch community has against Damon, aside from the fact he's killed a lot of witches since Emily double-crossed him.
In season one Damon seemed to display some abilities that go beyond what a vampire is capable of doing. He compelled that black crow to dive bomb Elena and Bonnie's car and to attack Elena in the cemetery. He was able to create fog in the cemetery. And when Stefan had him trapped in that cell, he was able to call Caroline to him, to help him escape.
It may be interesting when Mikael and Damon finally come face-to-face.
I gotta start watching this! Keep up the great HUBS. I must give this an "Up ONE and awesome." I'm always your fan! RJ
Based upon your HUB, you might enjoy this HUB…

hey folks, am back… It was supposed to be a longer holiday but a slug just has to heed the call of
the wild work. 🙂 Tokyo was a really quirky place, new yet old. Traditional yet right smack in the forefront of things. This was my 2nd visit to Tokyo but I guess it's just one of those places that throws you a curve ball ever so often. Meanwhile, my brain's already brewing up some nipponese (con)fusion recipes. I'm so in love with their food. * swoons* Enjoy the silly pics 🙂

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- 24 hours later, tensions run high on the plaza, after a suspect opened fire on a crowd Saturday night. Two people were shot and rushed to the hospital. With the shooter still on the loose, some witnesses who work on the plaza are in fear.
"I just heard shots go off, I didn't believe it would be a gun."
Jonathan Khan was inside Charlie Hustle, when he heard several shots fired. When he looked outside, he saw sparks flying.
"Everyone scattered really quickly," Khan said.
Employees here on the plaza say a woman was standing on the sidewalk on 47th, ride outside of Charlie Hustle, signaling a man in a car. Witnesses say she was attempting to help him parallel park his car. That's when a group of teens ran by and shots were fired.
"The bullet ricocheted, and hit her in the leg."
Witnesses say the bullet grazed the female victim's leg. She ran into Vineyard Vines for help, leaving a trail of blood behind her. Families enjoying dinner and shopping ran into stores along Broadway for cover. Soon, a crime scene developed in the heart of the plaza.
"It's obviously like an odd thing that happened. It's not in the norm."
A photographer who happened to be on the plaza caught a photo of the female victim. She looked to be in her 20's, alert and speaking with paramedics as she was taken away on a gurney. The male victim was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
"Actually it's kind of crazy to think about," Emmanuelle Morgen said.
24 hours later, families on the plaza pass by what seemed to be a blood stained sidewalk. Employees were back at work after an every evening, hoping the person who pulled the trigger doesn't come back.
"Things like that don't happen around here."
Police are still searching for the suspect. If you know anything about this, call crime stoppers at (816) 474-TIPS.

Personality Tests (Interviews) for Civil Services (Mains)-2016 are underway in UPSC. The interviewees are stripped of pens, wrist watches, mobile phones or some concealed devices, fearing illegal recording. Just and fair. But, why are interview Board members exempted? They allegedly keep searching for questions to be posed to the aspirants? Thanks to the Google search engine. Mobiles are not always switched off but kept on silent mode. Vulnerability to outside pressure is open to question. This adversely and avoidably impacts the credibility of a Constitutional body like the UPSC, that is considered just and fair . Appropriate steps need be taken by the authorities concerned. Similar remedial measures should apply to other recruitment bodies including the Staff Selection Commission , an arm of DOP&T, headed PM Modi, himself.

Shure: Video Conferencing
Friday 10 March 2017
Video conferencing is an essential, yet often overlooked tool for many organizations.
Good video conferences are productive, collaborative and engaging, but this only happens when everyone can be clearly heard and feels like an equal part of the conversation.
Poor sound quality is the number one complaint from those who use AV conferencing systems, yet for some reason second-rate audio is often accepted as normal. Not only is it distracting, but it inhibits collaboration and productivity. Poor quality meeting sound also forces the listener to strain to hear the person on the other end of a call, leading to listener fatigue, stress, headaches and aggravation.
Good quality sound improves productivity and leads directly to more successful collaborations and outcomes. When you need your words to be heard to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients across the globe, why settle for poor sound?
Shure will be tackling these issues on Stand E123 at the UC EXPO by highlighting the benefits of the Microflex range of AV Conferencing microphones, which enhance productivity and collaboration in meetings by offering the most intelligible conference sound.
The networkable Microflex Advance ceiling and table array microphones dramatically improve the audio quality for modern conferencing applications where pristine speech intelligibility is of utmost importance. Microflex Advance draws on Shure's extensive experience in microphone, audio networking and automatic mixing technology, and packages it in a discreet, architecturally unobtrusive design.
The versatile and scalable Microflex Wireless range of wireless microphones and supporting hardware have become the industry go-to solution for managed AV conferencing in large corporate boardrooms, multi-room environments, and networked campuses.
Shure will also be making the UK debut of the IntelliMix P300 Audio Conferencing Processor. Offering DSP algorithms optimized for A/V conferencing applications, the P300 pairs perfectly with Microflex Advance and Microflex Wireless microphones, for a complete, high-quality audio experience from Shure. Featuring acoustic echo cancellation, noise reduction and automatic gain control for up to 8 Dante channels, the P300 ensures echo- and noise-free conference room audio that facilitates communication and collaboration. Easy to install and configure, the P300 also provides analog, USB and mobile connectivity options that make joining room systems and collaborating with laptops and mobile devices easier than ever.

When I first took the new Nikkor 80 - 400 VR lens out of its box, my first thought was are you really going to carry this thing all over the Canadian Rockies? I knew it would be cold and snowy there and that meant at times I would be climbing over and through frozen snow. I also knew that I would be holding my camera bag and a tripod (yes even with a VR lens). Why a tripod? Mainly because when I photograph landscapes, I like to compose and recompose my image in camera. I like to fine tune until I am satisfied that I have checked my edges and the horizons are straight. Yes, I know that I can fix that in Lightroom but if I can do it in the field, I will have the image I want, not the image I need to settle for. As I lifted the lens, it weighs 3.5 lbs. All I thought was this better be worth the money and the energy. Was it? I have my opinion so much so that I thought I would write my first review of any equipment.
Lets start with the specifications;

What ports does vSphere use?
Ok, I have some knowledge about VMware vSphere, but I can't remember everything. Good thing there are some people out there that have some good ideas about reference material. One of them is VMware Technical Account Manager Dudley Smith who created a nice diagram of all the ports used within a vSphere environment.
Check out the blog post over here and download the nice ports diagram in PDF format.
Update : Also check this KB article by VMware for ports used by VMware products.
Port numbers are not visible … unable to view them
The picture on my site is not the actual picture. It's just a snapshot. Please download the PDF document. This will enable you to view the ports.
