text: Violet Tunis has always felt like second best, especially when she's around her particularly smart, wealthy and beautiful best friend, Katie, who seems to effortlessly be the best at everything. Having been friends from the seventh grade (after a brief three-day period when they were "sworn enemies"), by their junior year at their tony Boston private school, Westfield, Violet has come to accept and admire Katie's success. However, when Katie starts acting in a self-destructive manner by quitting crew, breaking Westfield's rules and engaging in risky behavior with drugs and alcohol, Violet is torn between her loyalty to Katie and her own internal barometer of right and wrong. Written as a series of notably short chapters, the names of which provide a fair amount of punch on their own ("Sophistry in Spanish class"), some sections feel abruptly staccato and underdeveloped. Although overall an enjoyable, light read, there are few surprises, and the pat ending leaves this text feeling flat. (Fiction. 14 & up)

The NCVPS Super Student Award is for students who have gone above and beyond the course requirements and as a result have enriched the content, class dynamic, their own learning, their classmates' learning, and even their teacher's learning.
Meet Vicky
"My definite goal is to major in some sort of art degree, but I am still not sure exactly what kind of art I want to major in or what kind of art job I want to do. I really like drawing people and cartoons, so I thought animation would be pretty cool. One of my dreams is to become an animator and work for a big animation company." –Vickey L.
"Vicky is so enthusiastic about Art I, and it shows in all aspects of her participation in this course. Of course, she puts a lot of effort and creativity into her artwork. Vicky also loves to discuss her work and the great art of her classmates. Most of all, I have enjoyed Vicky's sense of humor and easy interactions. She always attends our Live Class with a lot of interesting ideas to contribute." –Helen Nagan, NCVPS Visual Arts Teacher
NCVPS Experience
Since I attend an early college high school, the school doesn't offer any extracurricular classes such as art. I love my school, but I'm also am very passionate about art. I also wanted to get a more formal education on art because I have never taken a formal art class before except in elementary school. Since I want to get a college degree in art, I thought it would be useful to take a few art classes. When I first started the Visual Art I class, I wasn't sure if I would learn anything useful. However, Ms. Nagan was a very helpful teacher because she always checked on me if I had any problems with my work and she always posted or talked about different types of art and artists that I've never heard of. It was also fun to learn about the different types of art–one of my favorites is tessellation– and getting to try them out. I think this class has really helped me broaden my knowledge of art and what types of art I really favor.
Advice to Online Students
The classwork isn't complicated at all, but sometimes if students get confused with Ms. Nagan's instructions for the assignment, students should ask her to clear it up for them whether it's through texting, email, or calling. The teacher will reply, so students should never hesitate to ask for help. Another advice students should follow is to have good time management. It's great if students finish all their work in one day, but to me, students should also take time to do their work–especially if it's art work because it will be enjoyable and students will learn a lot from the experience. It's also important to have good time management if you're a busy student with lots of outside work to do like me. I promise that students can finish all their work on time if they do at least some each day. It shouldn't take more than 30 to 60 minutes to complete it. As I've said before, just talk to the teacher and sort it out with them. If the student is considering taking this class when they are already overloaded with work, then they should definitely not take an online class.
The Internet
At my school, there is always homework for me to do everyday especially when I started college classes. That's why I spend a lot of time on my college website, www.robeson.edu, and on Moodle, where I find most of my college work. However, if you're talking about my favorite websites, I'd have to say either Crunchyroll or a manga website because I am a big fan of Japanese animation and comics. I know a lot of people who disapprove of them, but I really enjoy it because of its artwork and style. Like some kid's cartoon or movie such as Disney movies, I learn important life lessons from Japanese animation and comics too. They are also one of the reasons why I want to get a career in art. However, I don't really spend a lot of time on these websites, since I don't really spend a lot of time on my computer to enjoy myself because my mom bought my computer for me and she only likes seeing me use my computer to do school work. Besides, I rather spend time drawing.
Favorite Gadgets
I have two favorite gadgets, and they are my iPhone 7plus and my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. My phone is very useful because I can access a lot of things on it such as a GPS and emails. I also use it for both my school work and for enjoying my free time. My drawing tablet is important to me because I get to draw on it and create cool graphic art. I don't use it often because I usually have school work or I would prefer doing traditional art. However, I really like it because I like to try out new things, especially if it deals with art.
Vicky's Goals
One of my goals was to host an art gallery with a few other classmates at school this year. Unfortunately, due to the hurricane, we had to put that event off till next year. However, I do have a close friend who is part of our school's Student Government Association, and she says she would be really excited to help me next year.
Something Random
I love to eat sushi, and I really enjoy Japanese cuisine.
Favorite Book
I definitely prefer printed books, and my favorite set of books is the Hunger Games trilogy. One of the reasons why I really like this books is it is set in a different world.
Music Interests
I really like to listen to Chinese music because I always associate it with the music my parents and I listen to on the Chinese New Year TV show that people in China host every year. The type of Chinese music I prefer the most is the old type of music that my parents listen to. My brother and friends think it's weird, but I think it's really soothing and fun to listen to.
Favorite Movies
I don't watch TV a lot, so I do not have a favorite TV show, but I really enjoy watching PG movies that come from companies such as Pixar, Disney, or Dreamworks.
Interesting Notes
I absolutely love watching old Chinese comedy acts. I watch them on TV sometimes with my parents, and I think one reason why I enjoy them is because they remind me of the times I spend with my parents. I value my family a lot, and I enjoy doing activities or travel with them. One of the most memorable trips with my family was to Disney World in Florida. It was also the summer that my youngest brother was brought from China for the first time. (You see, every time a kid is born in my family or in my uncle's family, they are sent to China to be taken care of by my grandparents for four to five years till the kid can attend kindergarten because my family owns businesses and they are very busy all the time).

Love Habits
By: Michael Martin
There are too many people unhappy with their marriage. There are too many marriages that are failing. There are too many husbands that feel disrespected by their wife. There are too many wives that feel unloved by their husbands. There are too many couples who feel disconnected emotionally. Too many couples are not "happy together" in their marriage.
What can be done? Can couples be happy? Can husbands get the respect they desire? Can wives feel loved and cherished by their husbands again? Can couples reconnect emotionally?
The answer is a resounding "yes" but it will take effort, time, discipline, and commitment.
In the Bible, the Old Testament writer of the Song of Solomon, provides a beautiful picture of the physical side of marital love. Its sensual words applaud sexuality and touch as part of God's wonderful creation. (Song of Solomon 1: 1– 4)
You must work together to build a "Happy Together" marriage and it is worth the effort. Start now and build a better future together by developing the following habits.
Daily - 5 Touch Habits
Make it a habit to touch your spouse in loving ways. Do this at least 5 times a day by massaging shoulders, kissing, hugging, holding hands, etc. (Do not do all 5 things at one time. Spread it out through the day.) Try your best to make each touch special.
Weekly – 4 Talk Habits
The average couple spends only four minutes a day in meaningful conversations. This is a huge reason why couples do not feel loved and respected. Four days a week, escape to a place where you can be alone and uninterrupted for at least 30 minutes. Spend this time talking, reconnecting, and doing something you both enjoy - a walk around the block, a coke date at Sonic, etc. Refrain from talking about problems. Just "chill" together.
Monthly – 1 Date Habit
One night every month, plan to go out alone with your spouse for at least 2 hours to enjoy each other's company. Go anywhere, do anything, talk, laugh, have fun. Talking about work, money or children is off limits.
Monthly –1 Romance Habit
At least once a month, plan a steamy night of romance and lovemaking. Plan the details - a movie, a massage, a walk, or anything that will get the romantic juices flowing. Make this the night that you look forward to and talk about often. (However, this does not mean you only have sex one time a month. This is an especially sexy night!)
Yearly – 1 Getaway Habit
At least once a year go on a 2-day Getaway where you spend at least one night in a hotel at least 50 miles from your home. This could be sometime around your anniversary, a birthday event, a summer or winter outing, etc.
Developing these five habits will help you to be "Happier Together" and could even save your marriage.
Try this and let us know how it works out.

We All Strive for the Prize, But it isn't a CompetitionFiled under Biblical Womanhood | Good Works
In our frenetic society we are already so busy with homework, jobs, and families, that the five good works in 1 Timothy 5:9-10 may feel overwhelming.
But we must remember that Paul was talking about what these widows had accomplished throughout their lifetime, not all at once. Giving themselves wholeheartedly to good works no doubt looked different at various times in their lives.
For moms of small children, you are applying this verse every day, all day. As my husband often says "no one has a harder job than a mom with young kids." This statement felt true to me when I had little ones, and now that I am watching my daughters mother their children, it rings more true than ever.
You may not be the first to show up in a crisis or do the most hospitality, but you are washing little feet all day as you humbly serve your family. I pray you know God's pleasure in your faithful service. It is pleasing to him, and even though no one else may see, "your Father who sees in secret will reward you" (Matt. 6:4).
I also know women who are eager to do good works, but despair because of limitations such as sickness, aging, a disability or a crisis. If you feel, "put on the shelf" as Charles Spurgeon vividly described it, then take his advice and pray for others. For there is "no greater kindness" you can do for someone. You may not be able to serve others in physically demanding ways, but you can still bring honor to the Savior through good works.
We all have different capacities and gifts, and so we must resist the temptation to compare. This is not a competition. Every woman who sincerely serves the Savior gives glory to God. It all comes down to one question: Do I strive for a reputation of good works in order to reflect the Savior's Good Work?
And remember this: When all is said and done, after we have spent and been spent doing good works, we must, as one wise man once said, make a heap of all our good works and all our bad works and flee them both to Christ.

Designers Coming Home to Print, May Find the Address has Changed
Monday, June 17, 2002
June 17, 2002 -- Graphic designers are increasingly turning back to print collateral as a growth avenue after years devoted to designing for the World Wide Web, but the market has changed, competition is more demanding, and the designers who thrive will be those who maximize the latest technological advances available in print communications. A key resource for designers wanting to catch up with these developments is GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO 2002, October 6-9 at the McCormick Place Complex in Chicago. North America's most complete exposition of printing, publishing, converting and digital technologies, GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO has a special value to graphic design professionals. "The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the last two years isn't the only reason designers are looking back to print. Even those organizations with thriving Web and e-commerce operations don't need as much new web design as they did before," noted Regis J. Delmontagne, president of the Graphic Arts Show Company (GASC), manager of GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO. "Designers are looking once again at print collateral work as a sales opportunity," Delmontagne said. "But you may or may not be able to go home again." Major trends in the printing and publishing industry, such as those discussed below, are changing the designer's working environment - and will be on display at GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO: Control is moving to the desktop. Many functions traditionally considered "prepress" are no longer being performed in service bureaus or printing plants. "New digital technologies are reshaping both the demand and markets for print and the manner in which print is manufactured," said Professor Frank Romano, Chairman of the School of Printing Management and Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology. A big part of this change is a new approach to print workflows. For example, job proofing no longer requires waiting for the printer's representative to bring a hardcopy proof, marking it up and waiting for revisions to be made. Today the printer can send the client a proof through the Internet and it can be output on a digital color inkjet printer in quality high enough for most art-checking and layout approval functions. Cross-media is coming to the forefront. "The key today is that you cannot use a single medium; you have to use multiple media. You must know how to use print, the Web, billboards and television, and then integrate the whole thing," said William Lamparter, president of PrintCom Consulting. Lamparter will chair a special full-day forecasting conference called EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK the day before GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO opens. "A catalog publisher, for example, has to know the best way to design in a reference to the web site. It's not simple." The printing and publishing industry has tackled these very issues of file portability and cross-media compatibility in recent years, resulting in a host of new products that support and simplify all-digital workflows throughout the communications process. A broad sampling of these products will be on display at GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO. New latitude for creativity. Digital workflows, variable data printing, on-demand printing and cross-media publishing - all of these new tools have one effect in common; they greatly broaden the palette of options available to the designer. By arming himself with up-to-date knowledge, the designer can use these new capabilities as a competitive differentiator. John Kaptriotakis, founder of Lysis International, a highly respected consulting firm which will present a seminar titled "What Print Buyers Really Want" at GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO, cautions the industry: "Don't rely on your vendors to be the visionaries." All of the products and information you need to know about as a creative influence can be found at GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO. Be sure to attend this comprehensive tradeshow for the latest tools and techniques available to help you be a fully informed creative resource to your clients and colleagues. You'll see the newest digital prepress, printing, finishing and converting equipment, and all the unique capabilities they offer designers and business communicators to maximize the impact of printed communications. Complete information about GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO can be found at www.graphexpo.com.

A Bay Area educational technology company has been sued for retaliation and gender identity discrimination. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has accused San Mateo-based IXL Learning Inc. of violating federal law by firing product analyst, Adrian Scott Duane after he spoke out against the company's discrimination practices online.
Gender Identity Discrimination in the California Workplace: Common Questions, Answered
California is one of 17 states that prohibit gender identity discrimination at work. This means that California employers are barred from mistreating employees who are either gender nonconforming or transgender. But while California has some of the strongest LGBT protections in the United States, transgender workers still face significant disparities in the workplace by employers and coworkers who defy state laws. Therefore, it is crucial for employees to understand California's gender identity discrimination laws and how they protect workers from unlawful discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
Gender Transition at Work: What Are Your Rights in California?
If you are planning to transition while working in California, state employment law protects workers from discrimination and harassment due to gender identity and gender expression, regardless of their assigned sex at birth. Because California has some of the strongest transgender rights laws in the entire nation, employees are beginning to feel more comfortable about transitioning in the workplace. But what are California's transgender rights laws as they relate to gender transition at work?

Golden by Jessi Kirby
Publication Date: May 14th, 2013
Simon & Schuster | Hardcover, 272 pages
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
It started with a legend of the town's golden couple. Two kids with a brilliant future perished in the dead of night. Their bodies were never found. Years passed and the town hasn't forgotten.
Seventeen year-old Parker Frost was the perfect child any parents could ever ask for. She's got her priorities straight, brilliant grades and a steady head on her shoulders. When a late TA assignment has her mailing students' journals written ten years ago, she couldn't believe her eyes when she stumbled upon Julianna Farnett's – one of the missing kids.
She's never done anything outside of the rules. So when she decided to finally break one, she goes and steals the journal. As soon as she starts reading, however, Parker couldn't help but feel like the missing student was echoing her thoughts. Everyone thinks that her future is set. But they don't know how fake she feels sometimes. They don't know how much she wants to break out of the mould that everyone has her in. Her curiosity regarding the missing students escalated into an intense desire to find out what happened. And as she found herself immersed in Julianna's thoughts, she slowly uncovers the truth. Nothing is as it seems. If there's one thing she can benefit from her one and only rebellion, it's to find the courage to face a future of her own choosing.
This book was gorgeous: tender, heartbreaking, and divine. Kirby's debut (Moonglass) wasn't really a memorable read for me but this one – this one made me want to start over as soon as I was done reading it. Parker Frost was such a mature character. And while her love story left me a little unfulfilled, Julianna's story more than made up for it.
The mystery surrounding the death of Julianna and Shane was the focal point of the novel. It was altogether nostalgic, mystifying and suspenseful. The author had me in grips and willing Parker and her posse to solve the mystery hastily. The novel, as a whole, has a wistful tone. It was full of longing and unhappiness but a nonetheless joyful resolution.
Through Julianna's journal, Parker finds herself; what she really wants to do, and never letting golden opportunities pass her by. I love how she found the gumption to speak out, to act and not let her mother dictate how she should live her life.
Over all, brilliant story with passionate characters and beautiful writing.

- How We Will Read: Clay Shirky - 0 views
shared by Michel Roland-Guill on 10 Apr 12 - Cached
Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word "publishing" means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That's not a job anymore. That's a button. There's a button that says "publish," and when you press it, it's done.
The question is, what are the parent professions needed around writing? Publishing isn't one of them. Editing, we need, desperately. Fact-checking, we need. For some kinds of long-form texts, we need designers.
for all that I didn't like the original Kindle, one of its greatest features was that you couldn't get your email on it

The endless gratification offered up by our devices means that the experience of reading in particular now becomes something we have to choose to do.
When people hear "social reading," they think that it is proximate sociability on the device in real-time. But let's not necessarily jam the social bit into the experience of reading. The explosion of conversation around those kinds of works is best done after the fact. The phrase "social reading" often causes people to misunderstand what it is.

I have practiced family law exclusively since my call to the bar in 2014. I represent clients in a wide range of issues, including custody and access, child and spousal support and complex property division. I have appeared in various Ontario courts.
My passion for assisting individuals and families began prior to entering the practice of law. I spent several years as a law clerk with the Family Responsibility Office ("FRO") where I gained first-hand experience involving high volume support enforcement cases. I understand how the FRO works and I draw on this experience to help clients navigate the system to meet their needs.
While at the FRO, my interest in family law extended beyond support enforcement cases. I had the privilege of working with the Central Authority for Ontario under the Hague Convention - advocating for parents whose children had been wrongfully removed and retained in another jurisdiction as well as securing the right of access.
I attended Osgoode Hall Law School and obtained my Juris Doctor in 2013. While in law school I remained active in the community. I volunteered with Pro Bono Students Canada, family law project where I regularly attended court and assisted family law litigants facing one of the most difficult times in their lives.
It is through these collective experiences that I have developed an understanding of people and the issues that matter most. I utilize a practical approach to family law in order to effectively advocate for clients in negotiations, mediations and various stages of litigation.
Before joining Stanchieri Family Law, I worked at a boutique family law firm in Toronto specializing in high-conflict matrimonial disputes. I articled with the Ministry of the Attorney General - Crown Law Office, Civil. I am a member of the Ontario Bar Association and the Advocates' Society.
I am drawn to family law because it is both challenging and rewarding. I am proud to be a part of a team that shares my commitment to the practice while delivering quality service to clients.
Very professional

I had the opportunity to work with Deborah, she was very professional, caring, dedicated and empathetic to wards my very complicated situation. The office staff was very professional and I was treated like a VIP on all my visits. Thank you Stanchieri Family Law.
Trust is at the core of the lawyer-client relationship. I take the time to listen to the client, understand their needs and explore various options so that we can achieve their overall goals.

Seattle Mariners
M's trade for minor league outfielder
The Seattle Mariners traded minor league pitcher Yorman Bazardo to the Detroit Tigers for outfielder Jeff Frazier on Wednesday.
Frazier, 24, hit .228 with 13 home runs, 21 doubles and 73 RBIs in 135 games at Single-A Lakeland last season.
In 2005, he hit .287 with 45 doubles, 12 home runs and 81 RBIs with Single-A Western Michigan. In his first full pro season, 2004, he hit .304 with five doubles and a home run in 20 games with Single-A Oneonta, N.Y., before breaking his left forearm.
In his three professional seasons, Frazier is 30-for-37 in stolen base attempts. Following the 2004 season, Baseball America rated the 6-foot-3, 195-pound right-handed hitter as possessing the "best outfield arm" in the Detroit organization.
Frazier was the Tigers third-round selection in the 2004 draft out of Rutgers University.
Bazardo was 6-5 with a 3.64 ERA in 25 starts last year at Double-A San Antonio.

Grisly Syria 'heart-eating' video sparks outrage
Issued on: Modified:
A video which appears to show the Syrian rebel Abu Sakkar carving out the heart of a dead soldier and putting it into his mouth has shocked journalists who met him in Homs in 2011 and 2012 and sparked widespread condemnation.
On Saturday, May 11, as French journalist Sofia Amara was surfing the web, she chanced upon a video clip that left her shocked, sickened, angry, and ultimately so despairing, the seasoned war reporter collapsed crying.
The gruesome video appeared to feature a Syrian rebel commander, dressed in camouflage trousers, cutting open the corpse of what appeared to be a soldier loyal to Syrian President Bashar al Assad.
The rebel then proceeds to carve out the heart and liver out of the corpse.
"I swear to God, soldiers of Bashar, you dogs – we will eat your hearts and livers," he says, looking into the camera. At the end of the 30-second clip, the rebel commander puts the corpse's heart in his mouth, as if he's about to eat it.
"The second I played the video, I recognised him," said Amara in a phone interview with FRANCE 24 from the Lebanese capital of Beirut. "I recognized him because of his voice, his mannerisms, his clothes – he was always wearing those clothes."
FRANCE 24 has decided not to post the disturbing footage of the rebel mutilating the corpse although the clip is available on the Internet.
Amara was reporting in the Baba Amr district of the western Syrian city of Homs in December 2011, when she said she met the rebel, who she identified by the nom de guerre, Abu Sakkar.
In her documentary, "At the heart of the Free Syrian Army" - which was aired on a French TV station last year – Amara says Abu Sakkar features in the second part of the two-and-a-half hour documentary.
"He was always with me. He was charming and adorable," said Amara. "He was not a savage. This crackdown has killed humanity."
A war crime by a breakaway brigade
The video clip, which first appeared on pro-Syrian regime websites over the weekend, is one of the most gruesome to emerge from the Syrian conflict, which has killed an estimated 80,000 people, according to opposition figures.
In a statement released on Monday, the New York-based Human Rights Watch also identified the rebel as Abu Sakkar and said his actions were a war crime.
"The laws of war prohibit any mutilation of dead bodies," said the Human Rights Watch statement. "Under the Rome Statute of the ICC (International Criminal Court), 'outrage upon personal dignity' is a war crime, which includes humiliating, degrading, or otherwise violating the dignity of a dead body."
Amara was one of a handful of journalists who say they encountered Abu Sakkar during or after the battle of Homs in 2011 and 2012.
According to the freelance journalist, in December 2011, Abu Sakkar was fighting with the Al Farouq Brigade, one of the oldest brigades that emerged from Homs just months after the Syrian uprising broke out in March 2011.
But last October, Abu Sakkar broke away from the mainstream Al Farouq brigade, and formed his own group, according to a report on the Foreign Policy website.
Human Rights Watch identified Abu Sakkar's breakaway group as the Independent Omar al Farouq Brigade and said it was not known whether the unit operated under the command of the Free Syrian Army.
Responding to the video, Maj. Gen. Salim Idriss, Chief of Staff for the Supreme Military Council of the opposition, told TIME Magazine that "such violence is unacceptable, and no soldier under the council's command would be allowed to get away with such actions."
But Nadim Houry, Middle East deputy director at Human Rights Watch, noted that opposition forces have not set up proper accountability mechanisms for abuses committed by their members.
"It is not enough for Syria's opposition to condemn such behaviour or blame it on violence by the government," Houry said. "The opposition forces need to act firmly to stop such abuse."

I live in the city, but I'm not writing about city or suburban life -- I'm writing about a land that's been partially terraformed by humans and is essentially a medieval-type landscape and society. My characters are riding around on horseback, through forests, on beaches; they live in castles and in underground homes. In my imagination, I dwell in these places while I'm writing, but it helps to remind me of what that means by researching, by visiting places that are as close to the ones in my novel as I can find.
Perhaps one of the most famous writers maxims is to "write what you know". To me that doesn't mean I have to write about suburban life, but that I must try to capture emotional truths. I know what it is to be frightened, to feel horror and loathing and joy and love and embarrassment. Frustration is often a parrot on my shoulder. I know these things, and I try to give them to my characters: I try to write my characters from the inside out.
Visiting forests, walking through the leaf-litter and hearing the soft pad underfoot (not so much the crackle of leaves because of the dampness), feeling the cool air lace fingers through my hair, smelling the dankness, experiencing the quiet, the sense of being alone in the world, in a world that could be medieval helps me to know my setting too, to bring it to life (I hope) for my readers.
We've just come back from a family holiday in Tasmania, where I got to inhabit quite different forests to the Victorian ones I'm more used to. Below are a few of my holiday shots, all of which could be part of my novel. They remind me of what it was like to be there, what it's like for my characters, and help me enter that place in my imagination where I do know what it's like to be a soldier or a king or any other thing I want my characters to be.

Toliara Project
Toliara Project
Base Resources subsidiary, Base Toliara, operates the 100% owned Base Toliara Project in south-west Madagascar, 40km north of the regional town and port of Toliara. The Toliara Project is underpinned by the large, high grade Ranobe deposit, and is considered by Base Resources to be one of the best mineral sands development projects in the world.
The Ranobe deposit contains a JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource of 1,293Mt at 5.1% heavy mineral (HM), with 794Mt at 5.8% HM in the Measured and Indicated categories, sufficient to support a 40+ year mine life at a scale similar to the Company's Kwale Operations. The high HM grade and mineral assemblage of the Ranobe deposit could produce a similar revenue per tonne mined to the Kwale Operations.
The Ranobe deposit benefits from low slimes (<5%), free running sands and no overburden, which should enable a simple mining and tailings methodology, as supported by completed mining trials. Process testwork to date suggests a technically straight forward flowsheet, using conventional mineral sands technologies, for the production of a significant quantity of ilmenite, together with zircon and rutile.
The Ranobe deposit has significant expansion potential and a drill program commencing mid-2018 aims to define the boundaries of the Mineral Resource, upgrade the existing Inferred Resource to Indicated status, and complete an Ore Reserve estimation.
The project is well advanced with mining license and environmental approvals already in place and is currently progressing through accelerated study phases, building on work previously completed and could be expected to commence production in the second half of 2021.
An artistic representation of the possible future development of the Toliara Project is available here.

A Japanese bathtub is a very large tub typically utilized for relaxing and revitalizing. A Japanese bathtub is usually filled with very warm or hot water to relax muscles and increase circulation. This tub is used by every family member after normal bathing. Many modern versions of this tub feature a digital control panel to adjust water flow and temperature. Although commonplace in many Japanese households, these tubs are seldom found in other parts of the world.
The Japanese bathtub is used for relaxation and rejuvenation at the end of the day. It is commonly referred to as Ofuru in most Japanese households. This type of tub is believed to have evolved from an ancient Japanese volcanic bath called Onsen. It is much deeper than an ordinary bathtub and often has a built-in seat at one end. The Japanese bathtub typically provides complete immersion to the neck area when filled with water.
This bathtub variant is usually filled with very warm or hot water prior to entering. The warmth of the water is intended to relax tense muscles and increase blood circulation throughout the entire body. Immersion in the hot water can have an invigorating effect upon the body and provide a sense of relaxation and well-being. Essential oils are sometimes added to the water for aromatherapy purposes.
Relaxing in this tub is a part of the daily bathing ritual for many Japanese families. This tub is often placed in the bathroom as a type of centerpiece. A separate bathtub or shower unit is also located in the bathroom for daily hygiene. The Japanese bathtub is entered only after normal bathing or showering has taken place; the water is not changed between each user.
In terms of configuration, this tub may be square, rectangular, or oval and typically occupies about the same amount of floor space as a regular bathtub. Modern versions of the Japanese bathtub are often equipped with a digital control panel to adjust the water flow and temperature. This control panel is typically mounted to a wall outside of the tub. Many tubs are equipped with a timer mechanism to allow for automatic filling at a certain time each day. Some models also have massaging water jets that can be activated and directed from inside the tub.
These tubs are commonplace in Japan and found in many homes. They are generally not used by people in other parts of the world. Spas and hot tubs offer similar benefits to the Japanese bathtub and are much more common in the U.S. and Europe. These tubs must typically be imported for use in countries other than Japan.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Faversham kent, a seemingly quiet country town? Don't be fooled, it does however, possess a community website frequented by gangs of old age morons who take offence at the slightest disagreement with their cliquey rules. They are a pack of wolves feasting apon a piece of carrion, many are descended from hordes of p****s that have settled the area, about half I would say. Many of the rest are just inbreds from local villages. Several notorious housing estates dot the area like chavvy no go zones, where the usual entertainment is shagging in the surrounding fields, keeping ferrets and attending the local barn dances, the stingaree being their favourite tune played on the fiddle.
Trips down to the local creek for weekly washes are a highlight for most of the populace since it's cheaper than using fresh water to wash. There is a yearly carnival where the thousands of 'cousins' meet up to discuss their paternity, just in case they are shagging their sisters. Mush and chavvy are the most common words used in the local romany dialect. There's no real shops to talk of, but they keep up the pretention of being posh and insist on living in the past by turning down planning and opposing anything modern, which is why it's a dying outpost of feudalism.
When one gets to meet someone with a view to romance, one must open an account with findmypast just to make sure they are not related. It proudly boasts of being a member of the cinque ports, but jank port would be more appropriate because it sits on a silted up dying creek which is now virtually useless and could be run better by the african banana republic. There are areas where it's not safe to walk at night, especially wooded and bushy areas where men claim to be looking for missing dogs at 3am, I suppose they mean dogging?
All in all a backwater of violent c***s and 000s of dubious cousins, who get really excited if a fair appears and a trip outside faversham is a prestigious affair, especially if going shopping in canterbury and is accompanied by a fanfare of preparation on Facebook, among chavvy friends young and old alike. Avoid this dump like the plague. There's absolutely nothing of interest here, but to come and stare at the inhabitants and their scumshit town. Investing money here would suicide on a grand scale.

Andrew Strauss last night denied his team had contravened the spirit of the game after the Australia captain, Ricky Ponting, accused England of "pretty ordinary" time-wasting tactics in the fraught final stages of the drawn first Test in Cardiff.
England sent on their 12th man, Bilal Shafayat, twice in the space of five minutes – the second time accompanied by their physio, Steve McCaig – as the last pair of Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar kept Australia's bowlers at bay for 69 nerve-racking deliveries, prompting an irritated Ponting to declare the matter would be taken up with the England management.
But Strauss was unrepentant. "There was a lot of confusion to be fair," he said. "We first sent the 12th man out to let Jimmy and Monty know there was a time issue rather than just overs. And then some drink was spilled on his gloves and, when Jimmy called up to the dressing room, we weren't sure whether he needed the 12th man or the physio.
"If Ricky's angry, that's a shame. I don't think we were deliberately trying to waste a huge amount of time. They weren't our tactics, as both of the guys were playing pretty well in the middle. The reality of the situation is that Australia couldn't take that final wicket and we got away with the draw."
• Poll: Were England guilty of deliberate time-wasting?
• Mike Selvey: England cannot afford to gloat after draw
• It's just part of the game, admits Australia's Hauritz
• Relive the final day with our over-by-over account
Ponting saw the matter differently after his side failed to make the breakthrough that would have given Australia a 1-0 lead in the series going into Thursday's second Test at Lord's and a fifth-straight win in the opening match of an Ashes contest. "It was pretty ordinary," he said of England's tactics. "They can play whatever way they want to play. We will do everything we can to play by the rules and the spirit of the game. I don't think it was required. They had changed gloves before, so I'm not sure they were going to be too sweaty after one over. I am not sure what the physio was doing out there. I think a few guys were questioning the umpires. I think a few guys were also questioning the 12th man. I am sure others will be taking it up with the England hierarchy as they should."
Ponting did, however, play down a potential flashpoint before the start of play when Kevin Pietersen hit a practice ball towards the Australian contingent and was briefly confronted by Mitchell Johnson, only for Stuart Clark to step in and prevent further trouble.
Ultimately, though, Ponting was left to reflect on the one that got away. "I'm pretty disappointed we weren't quite good enough to get over the line at the end," he said. "We did everything in our power to get those wickets but stumbled at the last hurdle."

Projects draw FBI queries
Officials quizzed over developments and demolition
The FBI has interviewed some city officials about the handling of development projects and the quick decision to conduct a controversial emergency demolition, city leaders have confirmed.
City Engineer Russ Reeves was recently accompanied by Corporation Counsel Ian Silverman for an interview at the FBI's Albany Field Office about the Aug. 5 demolition of a dilapidated King Street property adjacent to the new Bombers Burrito Bar at 2 King St., officials said.
The questioning appeared to be focused on Bill Dunne, the city's commissioner of planning and economic development, and Fire Chief Thomas Garrett's decision to knock down the building, city sources said.
This comes as the FBI white-collar-crime unit has joined forces with Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's Public Integrity Bureau to investigate allegations of government corruption at the state and local level.
The task force work led to the indictment last fall of former Halfmoon Supervisor Melinda Wormuth, a Republican, on charges of bribery and grand larceny related to her official duties. As well, it brought about last week's raids on the offices, hotel room and home of Assemblyman William Scarborough, D-Queens, who is under investigation for alleged travel voucher abuse.
In the Troy investigation, agents asked extensive questions about the emergency demolition of 4, 6, 8 and 10 King St. and the installation of a sidewalk in North Central, sources said. The redevelopment of the Scolite property in South Troy also has brought scrutiny from the FBI. Dunne has helped guide the city's actions in proceeding with this project.
Mayor Lou Rosamilia confirmed the interview took place. He said the FBI has neither asked for any documents nor served the city with any subpoenas for city records about the projects. The mayor said it's always a concern when the FBI asks questions.
The FBI did not respond to a request for comment.
Dunne, Garrett and Reeves referred questions to Silverman. Dunne and Garrett were unaware of the FBI's interest.
Silverman said the agents asked that the interview not be discussed.
The city is undergoing a boom in development projects. As commissioner, Dunne is involved in reviewing proposals and coordinating activities through the Troy Local Development Corporation and Troy Industrial Development Authority.
In addition to the demolition and sidewalk issues, the two agents asked for information about the interactions and relationships of various city officials in Democratic Mayor Lou Rosamilia's administration, sources said.
Dunne, a former Democratic councilman, is considered to be a key representative of Rensselaer County Democratic Chairman Thomas Wade at City Hall.
The demolition of the King Street building, which survived Troy's Great Fire of 1862, came the day after Reeves left the state for vacation; he had no knowledge that Garrett ordered the razing until he was contacted that day by the Times Union. Earlier on Aug. 5, the fire department had identified the three-story, wood-frame, yellow row building as being too dangerous for firefighters to enter in the event of a fire. Garrett then ordered it to be torn down.
Reeves spoke with agents about discussions that occurred about whether an emergency demolition should be performed to take down the King Street building, sources said. The emergency demolition is believed to have saved tens of thousands of dollars in asbestos abatement costs.
The structure was owned by Columbia Street Associates of Albany, which is controlled by attorney Donald Boyajian, and had a market value of $140,000, according to city tax assessment records. An empty lot is there now.
Boyajian said he had concerns about the structure. He said contact had been made with city hall, but that he did not recall discussing the building with Reeves. Boyajian said he was unaware the FBI recently asked questions about the demolition.
Garrett said on the day of the demolition he contacted Boyajian, who agreed to pay for the costs and then selected M. Cristo Inc. of East Greenbush to raze the structure.
Garrett's call, Boyajian said, was the first time he learned the building would be razed.
When Garrett ordered the building taken down, the city had just $7,000 remaining in its demolition and stabilization fund after spending about $353,000 to tear down unsafe buildings earlier in 2013.
Former Councilman Mark McGrath, a Republican, filed a complaint with the state Department of Labor about the demolition when he saw dust spreading across the property and onto the adjacent Bombers Burrito Bar, which stayed open during the demolition.
DOL posted the site, halting all work.
McGrath said he was informed last fall that federal law enforcement agencies were aware of what had occurred at King Street.
According to sources, the FBI asked Reeves about Dunne's role in the identification of asbestos as a problem in redeveloping the King Street property.
Reeves and Silverman also were asked about Dunne arranging the paving of a 101st Street sidewalk by a contractor who had received federal Community Development Block Grant funds for a city streetscaping project to revive the North Central neighborhood. The CDBG funds were being spent in the neighborhood to the south of the block that was paved.
McGrath complained extensively in April 2013 about Dunne's role in securing the paving of the sidewalk on 101st Street adjacent to Freedom Square, an outdoor community arts and gathering space. At issue was whether sidewalk contractor J.R. Casale would be paid from CDBG funds or was donating the work. McGrath said Dunne told him it would be paid for by the federal funds.
Eventually, the Sanctuary for Independent Media reached a private contract with Casale to build the sidewalk.
Rosamilia suspended Dunne for five days without pay from his $72,450 post over the sidewalk debacle.
At the time, Dunne said, "I overstepped my bounds. I did not inform my employer what I was doing."
The pending sale of the 5.4-acre Scolite property at Madison Street and the Hudson River also drew some questions from the two FBI agents, sources said.
A city review committee, which included community members, selected R.J. Valente Cos. from among four firms that submitted proposals to the city. The City Council voted 6-2 at its March 20 Finance Committee meeting to approve the contract with Valente and put it on the April 3 council agenda for a final vote.
Council members received a letter dated March 26 from legal representatives of Adams Street Properties raising issues about the city allegedly making the request for proposals to favor the selection of Valente. Adams Street Properties, which is tied to Don Fane, a well-known city businessman, was one of the firms that submitted a proposal for the site.
James J. Barriere of the Albany law firm Couch and White urged council members not to approve the ordinance. He said the city could possibly face legal action over the acquisition of additional land via eminent domain; the construction of the South Troy Industrial Roadway; a 10 percent down payment for the parcel instead the full payment; and the license to work on the site until the state Legislature approved the sale of the waterfront property.

You'll never find it on a bottle of Coke and you have to say it at least twice when you introduce yourself. These are the joys of being bestowed a quirky name.
Using the hashtag #growingupwithmyname, thousands of people (namely, all the Munifs, Jaxsons, Wolfgreys and Xanadus of the world) have taken to Twitter to explain why they wish their parents had just gone with something in the realm of Sarah or John.
From playground taunts to confusion over whether the bearer of the name is pronouncing it correctly, here's what it's like growing up with a tricky name.
For many, teachers stumbling over their name at morning roll call was to be expected. Or mocked, as was the case for "Dimon".
And for parents considering naming their child after a favourite brand, take a moment to consider the potential outcome:
But parents shouldn't always be blamed. How were they to know the name they chose would be similar to that of a popular song? Or that their daughter would meet someone like this person:
Notorious for misspelled names on coffee cups at the best of times, a trip to Starbucks is almost certain to result in a new take on even the simplest of names, as Sid discovered:
While you may be concerned you're not pronouncing someone's name correctly, it turns out they're likely just as bothered as you are:
Of course, even with a seemingly common name such as Erica, there's the potential for someone to get it wrong:
And, lets not forget the disappointment of eagerly searching through displays of name mugs and keyrings as a child, only to remember your name is never included:

Book Review: "Our love of stories is as old as humanity, and for good reason, according to a brilliant young scholar/scientist named Jonathan Gottschall (The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human by Jonathan Gottschall, Houghton Mifflin, 272 pages. Hardcover or digital, $24.). It's one of the things that makes us human. Stories allow us to share experiences across generations and teach us how to live properly. Stories are the original 'virtual-reality' technology, enabling human beings whether around an ancient campfire or grouped in a prehistoric cave, to learn the way the world works from the safe distance of secondhand narrative. The long-lost story of the first caveman to walk into a lion's den probably saved untold numbers of lives and may have been the first blockbuster story ever." P. 20.
Quote: "This is a wonderful book, filled with science (especially neuroscience and evolutionary theory) about the primal appeal of story. Our love of story is what makes us human. 'Until the day we die,' Gottschall concludes, 'we are living the story of our lives. And like a novel in process, our life stories are always changing and evolving, being edited, rewritten, and embellished by an unreliable narrator. We are, in large part, our personal stories.' Little wonder that we seek to share our stories with others: Our brains are hard-wired to construct and absorb stories This provocative and brilliantly accessible book shows us how and why we've always been story telling animals." P. 21.
Comment: Your students may be interested in these two quotes when questioning the value of literature. And in the book itself. RayS.

Why one county Farm Bureau refuses to endorse Steve King
Iowa Farm Bureau granted Steve King their endorsement. Here's why my county, the Winnebago Farm Bureau, did not.
Ethanol is under attack. The EPA gave out "hardship waivers" to "small" refineries. This undermined the RFS without doing so legislatively. Ethanol margins have reached disastrous levels with two plants in King's district dialing back or temporarily shutting down. King has a curious track record when it comes to ethanol for a guy who has so many ethanol plants in his district. When the EPA was attacking ethanol, their champion was Ted Cruz. King hosted Ted Cruz in Iowa for a pheasant hunt, and endorsed him in the 2016 Iowa Caucus. There's a wolf at the Iowa Farmer's door…and King invited it in.
Trade Wars initiated by President Trump have hit District 4. Farm incomes have declined four years in a row, and as I write soybean prices are $0.94 lower than they were this time last year. Local basis has been destroyed from lack of demand from traditional customers, like China. Ethanol and ethanol biproducts export numbers have dropped, worsening margins. President Trump campaigned on a trade war and King has supported him.
Iowa Senators have made headlines working to fix RFS waivers, mandate E15 year round, and fighting for the Iowa Farmer. Steve King is often in the news, for the wrong reasons. Recently, retweeting a white supremacist for the second time. Does this polarizing behavior benefit the IA04 farmer?
Has King campaigned for, endorsed, and supported candidates that are supporting farmers, free trade, and the ethanol industry? No. And that's why Winnebago County Farm Bureau did not endorse him as a friend of agriculture.
Anna Balvance is a director on the Winnebago County Farm Bureau's board, a farmer, and a grain buyer.

Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal proceedings
'It is clear that tribunal members respond positively to his well thought-out and clearly presented arguments. In what was a very difficult time, it was reassuring to know that my case was being dealt with by an expert in this field.' Client feedback for Robert Forman published in Chambers UK 2017
I've been referred to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, what do I do?
If the SRA has referred your conduct to the SDT, you can usually expect to wait around six months before receiving formal papers.
If we've not already been acting for you, it's worth sending us the papers to review, as it may be necessary to begin gathering evidence now. This is particularly important if expert medical evidence, for example, of mental health issues, is required.
I've been served with papers, what next?
You'll receive papers by post or DX from the SDT including the SRA's formal application, a supporting statement known as a 'Rule 5 statement', and standard directions issued by the SDT.
The standard directions impose tight deadlines on you to file an 'Answer'; effectively a pleading. The content of your Answer can be crucial to the outcome of the proceedings.
Other directions will be given concerning disclosure, witness evidence, listing of the substantive hearing and various other administrative requirements. These directions can be varied, and the sooner you apply to vary them the more likely the SRA and SDT will agree.
From the outset we'll be able to guide you on the likely outcome, and what steps you need to take to act in your best interest. That may involve making a without prejudice offer to the SRA, either for the withdrawal of the proceedings under a Regulatory Settlement Agreement, or for an Agreed Outcome, a form of Carecraft agreement, binding the SDT as to the outcome of the proceedings.
The hearing
If the application proceeds to a substantive hearing, it will be heard before a panel of three, two solicitor members of the SDT and a lay member. The hearing proceeds in a similar fashion to civil court hearings, although the style is very different. Depending whether allegations are contested or evidence is disputed you may give evidence and be cross-examined.
Why choose us?
Our three-strong team has many years' experience of representing solicitors and firms before the SDT. We conduct our advocacy in-house, ensuring your case is handled by someone who is an experienced specialist, understands the nuances of your case and cares about the outcome. There are likely to be cost savings too.
We believe that we have an excellent record in defending solicitors. We've achieved that by understanding when to admit and mitigate, and when to defend. Litigation at the SDT requires a very different style from court litigation; get your response wrong, and you'll not be able to demonstrate insight, likely to increase the sanction.
You'll see our name on a number of SDT judgments published online. We're consistently ranked in Chambers & Legal 500, as well as receiving a number of awards. If you're still not sure, take a look at our testimonials page, or ask us to provide a reference.
If you want us on your team, e-mail or speak to Andrew Blatt on 07973 752498, Robert Forman on 07976 562236 or Nick Trevette on 07976 795014.

My Beef with the Animated Gif
Animated Beef, 2010
Over the past year I've stayed mostly silent when it comes to critical writing. Some of this has been due to lack of time. Some of it to a hesitancy to speak critically of those who are or may be peers. Lastly, some of the most vocal folks are exhausting in their epic word counts! But I've been thinking a lot, and have decided that a) I want to write more and b.) I won't stand by while those with more critically rigorous but divergent views and practices sculpt the terms by which we think of Art, Net Art, and especially the burgeoning field of Social Media Art.
The distinction between Net Art and Social Media Art is important, and will be outlined in a future post. Further, I do not identify as a Net Artist (or a Social Media Artist, for that matter). However they often occupy the same sentence in the conversation. My interest in this series is specific to my practice, but my practice is also driven by what I want the future to look like for art appreciators of all varieties.
By setting out to describe this future, I want to first pause to express my concerns with the present. Specifically, with animated GIF art. On the whole, it is depressingly vapid! Worse, its vapidity has been fetishized by those seeking to define and contextualize this next wave of Internet artists. Over the years I've seen thousands of animated gifs. I've spent countless minutes waiting for them to cycle through their frames so they can be experienced "appropriately."
One recent example that comes to mind is the Unknown Pleasures meets Matrix-green animated gif that Paddy Johnson highlighted in her Year Of The Animated Gif post. Beyond occasionally witty one-liners, most of these images do nothing to push how we think. Rather they tend to engage in a sort of post-hipster language. They're stylized, abstract, and, in my opinion, just plain weak images. Of the non-abstract variety exists an Internet kitsch aesthetic which tend to be ironic, cynical and intentionally crude. Both of these varieties remind me of an article I read in New York Magazine a few months back that described Hipsters as smart consumers but whose cultural contributions were few. Or sloppy, lazy, etc. I would put 95% of animated gifs in this category. Granted the culture is arguable larger/more important than the "product," however, the product usually leaves me with much to be desired.
Needless to say this is not the type of work I want to make. While some of it is certainly entertaining, I am attempting to make work that is both accessible, challenging, subversive, and most importantly authentic.
I believe that the medium must serve the work, and that the work must have something to say, regardless of what medium that is (gif, oil paint, collage, etc). Aesthetics alone, however well stylized or unique, are never enough to carry a great work. A work that transcends its form. While I can't speak to anyone else's intentions I can say that I don't want to spend my time framing images that offer limited cultural capital. I by no means claim that my work always transcends, rather it is an ideal that I am continually striving towards.
To be continued!
Props to @VAJIAJIA for linking me to this post which in term led me to one of the more dynamic gifs I've seen.

The Mountains
The mountains of Glencoe are built from some of the oldest sedimentary and volcanic strata in the world. They were subsequently moulded, sheared and repositioned by a geological event known as a 'cauldron subsidence' which took place 380 million years ago.
The effects of glaciation, and millions of years and many cycles of erosion have subsequently carved and worn the rocks away into the formation we know today. Glencoe is bounded on its northern side by the famous Aonach Eagach or 'notched ridge' – a pinnacled ridge linking three peaks over 3000 feet which stretches for over three miles.
Indeed it is the narrowest ridge on the UK mainland. In contrast, the glen's southern flanks are a complex assemblage of peaks, ridges and valleys which rise up above the peat hags and scattered lochans of Rannoch moor and extend to the shores of Loch Leven, some ten miles distant.
The mountains which first greet the visitor arriving from the south are the strikingly beautiful and instantly recognisable peaks of the Buachaille Etive Mor and Buachaille Etive Beag, – 'The great' and 'The little' Herdsmen of Etive. Magnificent though they may be, neither of these mountains is the reigning peak of the Glen or the district. That distinction belongs to the peak of Bidean nam Bian; whose main summit is hidden above and behind its more famous outliers, three great truncated spurs known as 'The Three Sisters of Glencoe'.
The waters which tumble from these high mountains and give rise to a series of spectacular waterfalls gather initially at the 'Meeting of the Three Waters' to form the River Coe. Less than a mile lower down, at the very heart of Glencoe, the river widens briefly to form the sombre yet beautifully situated Loch Achtriochtan, a superb place from which to view the entire glen.
Beyond, the river passes through a further series of rocky channels and open pools to reach Loch Leven near the tiny village of Glencoe itself.
Lochaber Geopark Association has been established to raise awareness of Lochaber's outstanding geology and geomorphology, of which Glencoe is a key part. Lochaber has recently achieved international recognition as a European Geopark. Ask for a copy of the Glencoe Geotrail leaflet which is designed as a brief guide to some of the geological features to be found in Glencoe.
