12 Things That Are Just Plain Impossible To Find In The Hawaiian Islands
While we often define places and things, including our home states, by the traits, characteristics and features they possess, we tend to forget that defining something by the things it lacks is also important. Throughout the Hawaiian Islands, you will find beautiful beaches, mind-blowing scenery, and plenty of shave ice, but there are other things – like snakes – you definitely won't be able to find here.

Orb: footprinting tool - by psy
Orb - is a massive footprinting tool.
It will use passive/active -automated- methods to provides you real information about a target. You only need to set a 'concept' to start to gather information.
Orb uses this methods:
+ Passive:
- crawlering on search engines for public information (deep web included)
- searching for registered domains
- extracting whois info (owners, dates)
- discovering subdomains
- searching for machines running services
- searching for DNS records (A, NS, MX, TXT)
- extracting CVE and CVS records (vulnerabilities)
+ Active:
- scanning for open ports (tcp/udp)(1-65535)
- fingerprinting banners (states, vendors, OS, versions, CPE)
After this tasks... Orb will provide you some fancy reports.
Orb is free software, and may be redistributed under [GPL v3].
Orb runs on many platforms. It requires Python (2.x.y) and the following libraries:
python-whois - Python module for retrieving WHOIS information - Python 2
python-dnspython - DNS toolkit for Python
python-nmap - Python interface to the Nmap port scanner
On Debian-based systems (ex: Ubuntu), run:
sudo apt-get install python-whois python-dnspython python-nmap
Source libs:
* Python: https://www.python.org/downloads/
* Pypi-whois: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/whois
* Pydnspython: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dnspython
* python-nmap: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-nmap
You can use:
./orb --update
./orb --check-tor
./orb --gui (for Web interface)
./orb --spell='target'
Ex (massive):
./orb --spell='target' --ext='.com,.net,.org' --sa
./orb --help
Usage: Orb.py [options]
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose active verbose on requests
--check-tor check to see if Tor is used properly
--update check for latest stable version
--spell=TARGET start complete footprinting on this target
--gui run GUI (Orb Web Interface)
These options can be used to set some footprinting interaction
restrictions with target(s). You only can set one:
--passive use only -passive- methods
--active use only -active- methods
*Search Engines*:
These options can be used to specify which search engines use to
extract information:
--se=ENGINE set search engine (default: Yahoo)
--se-ext=ENGINELOC set location for search engine (ex: 'fr')
--sa search massively using all search engines
Orb will search for interesting public records. You can choose
--no-public disable search for public records
--no-deep disable deep web records
--no-financial disable financial records
--no-social disable social records
--social-f=SOCIALF set a list of social sources from file
--no-news disable news records
--news-f=NEWSF set a list of news sources from file
Orb will search on different databases for registered domains using
IANA supported by default. You only can set one:
--ext=EXT set extensions manually (ex: --ext='.com,.net,.es')
--ext-f=EXTFILE set a list of extensions from file
Orb will search on 'Whois' records for registrant information:
--no-whois disable extract whois information
Orb will try to discover info about subdomains:
--no-subs disable try to discover subdomains
Orb will try to discover info about DNS records and machines running
them. You can choose multiple:
--no-dns disable try to discover DNS records
--resolver=RESOLV specify custom DNS servers (ex: '18.104.22.168,188.8.131.52')
*Port Scanning*:
These options can be used to specify how to perfom port scanning
tasks. You can choose multiple:
--no-scanner disable scanner
--no-scan-dns disable scan DNS machines
--no-scan-ns disable scan NS records
--no-scan-mx disable scan MX records
--scan-tcp set scanning protocol to only TCP (default TCP+UDP)
--scan-ports=PORTS set range of ports to scan (default 1-65535)
--show-filtered show 'filtered' ports on results
*Banner grabbing*:
Orb will try to extract interesting information about services running
on machines discovered (ex: OS, vendor, version, cpe, cvs):
--no-banner disable extract banners from services
--no-cve disable extract vulnerabilities from CVE
--no-cvs disable extract CVS description
These options can be used to specify exporting methods for your
results. You can choose multiple:
--no-log disable generate reports
--json=JSON generate json report (ex: --json='foo.json')
You can select a set of options organized by footprinting method.
For this release:
*Ex: ./orb --spell 'target' --passive
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --active
You can set different search engines to gather public records from the Internet.
For this release (by default: Yahoo):
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --se='yahoo'
Also you can set the location for search engine to retrieve more accurate information about your target.
For example, if is located in Spain you can try to use 'yahoo.es' servers:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --se='yahoo' --se-ext='es' (france=fr, italy=it, etc...)
You can search massively using all search engines with:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --sa
These options can be combined:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --sa --se-ext='nl'
Orb will search on the WWW for interesting public records.
But is important to set what is "interesting" for you. For that you can create a list of sources organized by some non variable categories: social and news.
It is added to the tool an example folder for Spain to see how works:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --social-f='core/sources/spain/social.txt' --news-f='core/sources/spain/news.txt'
You should try to build your own sources.
By default it is using most ranked Alexa.com services short by category. So you will have a nice global scope from the beginning.
You can set which domain extensions do you want to use to perform footprinting tasks.
By default, Orb will use IANA supported domains. But you can set your own manually:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --ext='.com,.net,.org'
Or directly set a list from a file (examples provided):
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --ext-f='core/sources/user-exts.txt'
*Output example*:
-Domain: microsoft.com
-Registrant: MARKMONITOR INC.
-Creation date: 1991-05-02 00:00:00
-Expiration: 2021-05-03 00:00:00
-Last update: 2014-10-09 00:00:00
Orb will try to discover info about subdomains.
For this release it is using a passive method with search engines (not bruteforcing).
Orb will try to discover info about DNS records and machines running them.
You can set which DNS resolvers (Google used by default) do you want to use for that tasks:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --resolver='184.108.40.206,22.214.171.124'
Orb will use Nmap -python lib wrapper- to perform port scanning tasks.
You can set protocol type to only TCP (UDP+TCP by default) with:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --scan-tcp
Or select which ports do you want to try with:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --scan-ports='21-443'
** Port scanner will show you only 'Open' ports on machines.
You can see also 'Filtered' ports with:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --scan-ports='21-443' --show-filtered
*Output example*:
* State : up
- Protocol : tcp
+ Port: 80 ( open ) - IBM WebSEAL reverse http proxy | http-proxy
+ CVE-2014-0963 -> https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0963
Last updated: 3/27/2016 2:37:25 PM
CVE Publication rate: 11.13
The Reverse Proxy feature in IBM Global Security Kit (aka GSKit) in IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) for Web 7.0 before 7.0.0-ISS-SAM-IF0006 and 8.0 before 126.96.36.199-ISS-WGA-IF0002 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted SSL messages.
Orb will log all tasks and results organizing them by target on a folder: 'reports/'.
You can launch the tool without any log adding:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' --no-log
For verbose output you can use:
*Ex: ./orb --spell='target' -v

"You have plans against Turkiye and Iran"
"You have plans against Turkiye and Iran or maybe against Russia," said President Erdoğan addressing to the US.
Speaking at AK Party Parliamentary Group Meeting, President Erdoğan said, "They are asking us, 'When will you end it?' I ask the following to those who ask us when we will finish it: When have you finished your operations in Afghanistan? When have you finished your operations in Iraq? It has been 18 years and you are still there. You yourselves don't have any such issue."
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a speech at AK Party's Parliamentary Group Meeting in the Grand National Assembly of Turkiye. President Erdoğan began his speech by evaluating the latest developments in the defense industry.
Touching upon his recent visit to Vatican City State and Italy, President Erdoğan underlined the importance of his visit to the Vatican in that it has been the first visit from Turkiye to the Vatican since the presidency of Celal Bayar 59 years ago and added that they held a comprehensive and mutually beneficial meeting with Francis, the spiritual leader of the Catholic world.
Noting that they exchanged views on regional and global issues, especially the issue of Al-Quds, President Erdoğan said they saw during the meeting that Francis attaches special importance to close cooperation with Turkiye. The President further stressed that he shared with the Francis his concerns over the rising Islamophobia, cultural racism, and xenophobia in Europe. Drawing attention to the solidarity displayed in the face of the U.S. decision to recognize Al-Quds as Israel's capital, President Erdoğan recalled that the U.S., in a sense, had been rejected as a result of the 128 votes at the UN General Assembly. President Erdoğan added that their visit to the Vatican provided them with an opportunity to once again convey at the highest level Turkiye's sensitivity about the unfounded Armenian allegations.
Reminding that he proceeded from the Vatican to Italy, where he met with President Sergio Mattarella of Italy and received Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, President Erdoğan, with regard to his talks in Italy, said: "During our meetings, we had a chance to evaluate our bilateral relations in a wide range of areas including economy, investments, defense industry and education."
Underlining that the operations in Afrin will be continued determinedly, President Erdoğan said: "It will continue with Idlib. They are asking us, 'When will you end it?' What do you mean by asking that? I ask the following to those who ask us when we will finish it: When have you finished your operations in Afghanistan? When have you finished your operations in Iraq? It has been 18 years and you are still there. You yourselves do not have any such issue. You are not neighbors you do not share borders. What business do you have there? We, on the other hand, share a 911-km-long border. We have come under harassment fire across the border from Syria more than 700 times so far. We have more than 100 martyrs. Does the U.S. hear or see all this? They have told us many things but unfortunately, they have not told the truth. Mr. Obama did not tell the truth, either. In addition, Mr. Trump is on the same path too. They told us the following: 'We will pull out of Manbij. We will not stay in Manbij.' Actually, 90 percent of Manbij is comprised of Arabs. But why are you staying there? Why don't you pull out? Whom have you brought to there? The PKK. You bring and settle them there but still tell us not to come to Manbij. We will come to Manbij to hand it over to its true owners. This is our difference."
President Erdoğan, addressing the U.S., continued: "Don't collaborate with terrorist organizations. If there is anything to be done in this region, then do it with Turkiye, your NATO partner."
Underscoring that the problem is not with the Kurds in the south, but totally with the terrorist organizations, President Erdoğan stated that these terrorist organizations are PYD, YPG, PKK, and DAESH, and continued: "The U.S. says that it has cleared out DAESH. If so, why are you still here? You are sending 5 thousand truckloads of weapons and ammunition. You are sending 2 thousand plane shipments of weapons and ammunition. Where are you sending all this to? What business do these have in Northern Syria? Why are you sending them? Please answer these questions. If you say you are sending them to the fight against DAESH, then do not expect us to believe. We do not buy it. "
There is something very clear, clear about this matter that I have told them here; then you have plans against Turkiye, you have plans against Iran or maybe you have a plan towards Russia. But we are standing on our ground and we will."

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
I read it for the first time in 2004, after the movie came out. I was surprised at how different it was, yet how much the same -- many elements of the musical's story come directly from the book, yet in my opinion it lacks much of the passion and empathy of the movie versions I've seen.
Although Leroux does intend for the reader to empathize with the phantom -- named Erik, in the book -- at the same time, he makes him into a rather detestable character, which I never liked. The movie version I saw as a kid made the phantom much more human and sympathetic, and he never actively tries to hurt or punish Christine, as he does in both the musical and the book. My other complaint with the book is that Raoul's character is rather detestable, too -- he is petulant and actually kind of creepy, and I have a hard time understanding Christine's interest in him. (I actually don't like his character much in the musical version, either, as he is rather condescending to Christine, but he is even worse in the book.) And Christine's character leaves a lot to be desired, as well -- instead of being a strong heroine, she is weak and fearful.
All of this being said, the book is entertaining and explains the phantom's story a little better than the musical. Other things are explained, too, such as the reason for having to keep "your hand at the level of your eyes" (so that the phantom can't slip his noose around your neck and strangle you -- your hand will be in the way). If you love the musical, I think the book is a good companion to the movie, but any time I see or read either it makes me want to rewrite Erik's and Christine's story!

American entertainment website Deadline Hollywood says Atias will be joined by actor Mehdi Dehbi. The series, which will be filmed in Morocco, tells the story of an average American family — Barry, Molly and their kids — drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation.
Atias will play the role of Leila, the wife of Barry's older brother Jamal and mother of Ahmed the bridegroom.
The pilot is raising a lot of interest in the United States. At first it was supposed to be directed by Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, but two months ago he pulled out of the drama due to exhaustion.
"It is one of the most brilliant ideas for a series that I've seen and one about which I was very excited. However, after spending over four years making and promoting 'Life of Pi,' I have recently realized that I need some rest," Lee explained during the Cannes Film Festival.
FX immediately began looking for a replacement, and chose David Yates ("Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix") to direct the pilot. Filming is scheduled to begin soon.

Stefan Moore seems to have found a home at last! Kidderminster Harriers announced today that Moore would be joining them for the next month with a view to a longer deal, after spending two weeks training with the club. Moore is following in the footsteps of ex-Hoops player, Dean Sturridge, who joined the Harriers after leaving QPR in June 2006.
After leaving QPR in January 2007, Moore tried his luck with several clubs including Australian club Melbourne Victory (Nick Ward`s club), before joining Walsall in February 2008. He made only three appearances for Walsall, two of those as a sub, scoring only one goal (which was on his debut).
Moore joined QPR from Aston Villa. Whilst at Villa, Moore had been sent out on loan to Chesterfield, Millwall and Leicester, making a total of 17 appearances for those clubs, but failing to score at any of them.
QPR manager Ian Holloway brought Moore to Rangers in June 2005. Ollie was excited at the prospect of the then 21-year old striker joining our ranks, boasting that "he`ll chase paper bags in the wind in the park for you all day long."
Holloway was not to be proved correct in hoping that Moore would bring a new aspect to our attacking play and after a disappointing start, he was allowed to go out on loan to Port Vale in 2006. At Port Vale he made 15 appearances during which time he scored just one goal; and he returned to QPR in December 2006.
Moore made a total of 42 appearances for the Rs, 21 of those as substitute, in his three years as a Hoop. He managed to score the very disappointing total of only 3 goals during that time.
Unfortunately for the 25-year old forward, his career record to-date is not particularly impressive. He`s played a total of 109 games finding the net only 7 times. Let us hope, for his sake, that he has finally found his niche and his career at Kidderminster is a success.
Providing he can put the effort in…!

Love Horoscope For July 2018
The Mars retrograde seems to be impacting all the zodiac signs, and the love life of all the zodiac signs seem to get affected.
Here in this article, we bring in details about the zodiac signs and the love predictions for July 2018.
Check out the love predictions that are based on sun signs.
Monthly Zodiac Predictions For July 2018
Aries: March 21-April 19
For Aries, the return of Mars remains in this sign for most of July 2018. This move gives more confidence, and it also has the effect of making the individuals even more assertive. Significant changes are said to happen in your life. The last two years were filled with responsibilities of home or family. Connections with creativity, children, romance and fun, seem to be at the peak through the month. They will be learning more about themselves, and their potential seems to increase. Hard work and disciplined action in the things that they do will be rewarded in the long term. On the other hand, if they are single, a severe romance seems to enter their life by the end of the month.
Taurus: April 20-May 20
For Taurus individuals the love planet Venus seems to move in their romance sector on July 9, and it would remain there until August 6. If you are a single person, then this month is considered to be one of your most auspicious cycles to meet a new love interest from your work or someone whom you meet while you are pursuing a health interest. While, on the other hand, if you are in a relationship, then Jupiter will turn direct in your partnership sector on July 10. This is allowing you and your sweetheart to spend some good time through the month.
Gemini: May 21-June 20
Gemini individuals might feel blocked about how to move forward with positive communication in their current relationship. It is possible that they are not going to agree with the opinion of their loved ones. There are chances that chaos and feud will be the hot topic for these individuals. The universe seems to be asking them to reconsider their ideas and beliefs and try to see a different way. On the other hand, they need to open up their mind to new creative ideas by keeping the lines of communication open.
Cancer: June 21-July 22
Cancer individuals will have the strength to embrace their weaknesses this month. They need to stop giving the power for their own needs over to their mate. They can't expect their partner to meet all their needs. They need to understand that something in the name of love has been giving them a false sense of security and this is the time for them to reclaim their stability.
Leo: Jul 23-Aug 23
For Leo individuals, the dynamic between their partners might get tough by the end of the month if they are not careful. As Mercury will turn retrograde on July 26 in their sign, it makes it seem like nothing is right to their partner. The Mars retrograde appears to make them already low as they tend to feel like they can't do anything right. All that they need to do is hold on to their emotions and make decisions wisely.
Virgo: Aug 24-Sept 23
For Virgo individuals, self-reflection and the ability to unblock their mental outlook on romance seems to put them in a stronger position to love stronger and healthier in the future. They will find themselves to be much quieter and unwilling regarding directly talking to their partner. With the love planet Venus residing in this sign from July 9-August 6, these individuals will be confused about matters of the heart, but at the same time they will also see the beauty in this and have a pleasant time through the month with their partner.
Libra: Sept 24-Oct 23
For Libra individuals, their love life might require them to keep their feelings to themselves for most of the month. They find themselves in a loose situation where they find themselves being caught up in an emotional affair with someone who they can have an emotional bond and not share a physical relationship with.
Scorpio: Oct 24-Nov 22
For Scorpio individuals, the Jupiter retrograde seems to have put their emotional side from growing for a moment to take care of how far they have come. They will experience endless growth without time to process, and they seem to appreciate it. On the other hand, even though the increase in the progress in their life seems to have stalled, things seem to fall in place by the month end.
Sagittarius: Nov 23-Dec 22
For Sagittarius individuals, the dilemma that they face in July is that they might find the best course of action. This month is not the right time for them to hold back their emotions because they are afraid of the reaction. They might not be ready to handle the truth, and this is something that they are completely aware of.
Capricorn: Dec 23- Jan 20
Capricorn individuals who are dating someone, this is when they are likely to look at each other and realise what they have more effectively. They will be driven to take this relationship to its next level.
Aquarius: Jan 21-Feb 18
This month is the perfect time when they feel depleted themselves and their self-care will become a priority in any way that they can. With the tensions in Lunar eclipse in this sign on July 27th, there are possibilities of ending relationships. Surprisingly, there is very little guilt that these individuals will face.
How The Retrograde Of Mars Will Affect You: June 27 - August 27, 2018
Pisces: Feb 19-Mar 20
Pisces individuals seem to experience sudden new opportunities. They need to remember that they don't have to listen to their friends or anyone else during this month especially if they are considering looking out for a new romantic opportunity. All that they need to do is go with the flow and get the quiet space to listen to their intuition about their love life progress.

Thanks. I'm glad I dusted it off and tried it again:)Delete
I have Movin' Out. I like to collect OPI's HTF. I don't have this one though it is really pretty. My husband had to use pliers on Movin' Out too when I pulled it out a couple of weeks ago to open it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, maybe it was pliers that my husband had to use. Well it was some sort of tool and it actually made dents in the cap:( Oh well, it just makes it look that much older and loved.Delete
I love it! Unfortunately I bet it's impossible to find :(ReplyDeleteReplies
Actually, I just looked at it's on Amazon for $5.50 :)Delete
This is such a pretty color! It's so fun going through older OPIs. And is it just me, or were the names better in the past? They're sort of driving me batty with their names lately, like they're over-the-top silly.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think they are running out of ideas. I think you would be awesome at that job. Maybe see if there is an opening in their polish naming dept.! I'll provide you with a reference:)Delete

The Ottawa Fury Women have claimed the W-League's Central Conference championship after beating the Kitchener-Waterloo United 4-0 Saturday at the Algonquin College soccer complex.
Fury Women keep on rolling taking conference title 4-0 over K-W United
The Ottawa Fury Women have claimed the W-League's Central Conference championship after beating the Kitchener-Waterloo United 4-0 Saturday at the Algonquin College soccer complex.
Dom Oliveri's squad remains unbeaten on the season with the victory and will head to Florida next week to take part in the league championship.
The afternoon started slowly with an early injury to starting Fury FC rightback Danielle Hubka.
As the first half wore on, though, the Fury Women started to dominate. Ottawa scored in the 37th minute, when Teresa Rynier tapped home a loose ball.
Ottawa suffered a second key injury when keeper Jill McVicker collided a United forward and injured her leg. She was unable to continue, and backup goalkeeper Maryse Bard-Martel came on.
The slim 1-0 Ottawa lead held until the half. But four minutes into the second half, Ottawa broke through. Shelina Zadorsky put a free kick off the visitors' crossbar and the rebound fell to Annie Steinlage. Her shot crossed the goal line for a 2-0 lead.
Ottawa scored again in the 68th minute, when Christabel Oduro passed to Teresa Rynier who scored her second of the game.
Kristy Moore wrapped up the scoring.
Fury head coach Dom Oliveri was thankful for the victory. "We've built something special here this year," said the fourth-year Ottawa head coach, "We didn't make it easy on ourselves today, and K-W United came in here and worked hard. They're well-coached, but when we started really playing our game in the second half, we pulled away as we should have.
"It's always nice to win something, but now the work gets harder. We're going to face some really strong teams down there, and it's time for our team to kick it into high gear."
Now the Fury will take on the other conference winners, all aiming at the W-League championship on July 27 in Bradenton, Florida.

Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Rachel! My passion is learning about wine and sharing wine knowledge. I developed this course after not being able to find a condensed online wine study program while prepping for the WSET Level 3 & the WSET Diploma. The theory units in these programs are some of the most challenging exams I've ever encountered.
This prep course is perfect for WSET students who need help studying these challenging wines and regions, and provide extra accountability getting through the material. My goal is that after studying and using the prep course, that you'll walk into your exam feeling confident and prepared for success.
I'm a wine writer and beginner wine grower; in 2016, I successfully completed the Wine & Spirit Education Trust Diploma program after 15 months of study, passing every unit on the first attempt. I'm a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers and the Guild of Sommeliers.In 2016, I became a Vinitialy Italian Wine Ambassador, and published Winetripping, a guide to the wineries of British Columbia's Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. I'm a Wine Judge at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, on the panels for Canada and the USA.
My husband and I own a 5 acre organic vineyard in BC's Similkameen region. In my free time, I love visiting ancient ruins, growing heirloom tomatoes, cozy pubs with friends, Star Trek TNG reruns, and of course, trying new wines.

TerraX commences with second round of drilling
TerraX Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TXR)(FRANKFURT:TX0)(OTC PINK:TRXXF) revealed that a second drill programme is currently underway at its Yellowknife City Gold project ("YCG") in the Northwest Territories.
During the three-month period ending 30 April 2016, TerraX concluded its winter drill programme at YCG, with 7,130m having been drilled on multiple targets.
Most juniors' drill programmes are dependent on funding. TerraX has an additional hurdle to cross, which to date it has overcome admirably, namely battling the elements. Given the location, TerraX has two primary drilling and exploration seasons, namely winter and summer. In winter, they are able to run ice roads to drilling sites and then in summer, after the mud has dried up sufficiently, they are able to access the targets.
In July the company commenced its 27,000m drill programme at YCG on the Mispickel target. This represented the first phase of an extensive exploration drill programme at the deposit that was expected to run for the ensuing 18 months.
On the 23rd of August 2016, TerraX provided an update indicating that it had added a second drill programme to this summer effort. The first drill programme was focused on expanding Mispickel mineralised zones where drilling returned discovery holes of 8.6m @12.87g/t Au and 7.3m @23.6g/t Au, followed by an intersection of 8m @60.60 g/t Au.
The second drill programme is expected to drill step-out holes along the sub-parallel mineralised structures at Mispickel, which has been identified by surface mapping and sampling.
Get our daily investorintel update
The company has not yet given any indication as to the expectations for its winter drill programme, though since the beginning of July, TerraX has managed to raise $7.5m in a non-brokered private placement, with the second tranche of $3.238m having been executed on the 18th of August, which has enabled the company to embark on this aggressive second drill programme.
TerraX is in an enviable position amongst junior miners with an excess of $11.7m in cash on its balance sheet.
The company's share price rose to $0.91/share as the news hit the wires, from the previous day's close at $0.88/share. However, within three hours of the announcement, the price had fallen back to 0.85/share. However, for those investors that have held their stock for a year (23 August 2015: $0.24), the return at today's opening would have been 280%.

Upper School
Grades 9-12
Oak Hall's Upper School curriculum is a challenging, college preparatory program consisting of a core curriculum and a wide range of electives. Building on the strong foundation established in the Middle School, this program prepares students for acceptance and success in competitive colleges and for success in life beyond college. Honors and Advanced Placement courses are offered in every academic department. Many semester- and year-long electives are also offered.
Oak Hall has high expectations for all students. Upper School classes emphasize both mastery of specific content and the skills necessary for success in college and in the years after college. These skills include:
- self-reliance
- critical reading and thinking
- effective oral and written communications
- problem solving
- research techniques
- and the use of technology as a tool in the acquisition of knowledge
Beyond the core courses of English, history, math, science, and foreign language, students are encouraged to develop their aesthetic dimension through participation in a variety of art, music, and drama classes. They are also encouraged to participate in the school's athletic and outdoors programs in order to acquire an appreciation for physical fitness, cooperation, and the natural environment.
Graduation Requirements
Students must earn 24 credits in grades 9-12.
Students must be enrolled in and successfully pass a minimum of six courses earning six credits each year. If a student does not successfully earn six credits, they may be required to attend summer school or make up the credit in some other way. Additionally, students must take four academic courses (defined as offerings from the English, History, Math, Science, and Foreign Language departments plus all AP classes) each semester.
I. English: 4 credits required.
- English I
- English II
- English III
- English IV
English I and IV are offered at the College Preparatory and Honors levels. Many students elect to take AP English Language in the sophomore year, and AP English Literature in the junior year.
Independent Study
Independent Study exists as an option for highly motivated and responsible seniors. The purpose of this option is to allow students to explore an area of special academic interest, that is not offered at Oak Hall School, or to pursue work in a subject at a more advanced level than we offer. In many cases the Dual Enrollment option at Santa Fe College or the University of Florida can accommodate such special individual needs. When Dual Enrollment is not an option, Independent Study may take its place.
Independent Study projects should be proposed by the student using the proper form. The student's project must be approved by the Department Heads Council and by a sponsoring faculty member. To be approved the project must be completed independent of regular class meetings, the student and the sponsoring faculty member must meet and discuss the project at least twice a week. If credit is to be granted for the project, the student must produce a tangible product and/or sit for an examination. Independent Study projects should be planned to last one semester and should result in the equivalent of one semester's work. Deadline for approval is one week before the end of a semester.
II. History: 3 credits required.
- American Government
- World History
- U.S. History
American Government, World History, and US History are offered at the College Preparatory and Honors levels. AP Government and Politics is available as early as the freshman year to qualified candidates. Many students elect to take AP World History in the sophomore year, and AP US History in the junior year. AP European History and AP Microeconomics and Macroeconomics are offered as senior electives.
V. World Language: 2 credits in the same language in the Upper School required.
- Latin I and II, Chinese I and II or
- Spanish I and II
Students are required to complete two levels of the same language in the Upper School (even if they receive a credit from Middle School.) Chinese, Latin, and Spanish students are encouraged to progress to the Advanced Placement level. Students who finish the AP level by their senior year may elect to take a year of Ancient Greek.
Dual Enrollment
Qualified Upper School juniors and seniors may be dually enrolled for both college and high school credit in courses offered at the University of Florida. Oak Hall will permit these courses to satisfy only those graduation requirements outside the core curriculum. Students should plan to take no more than two dual enrollment courses per semester, and grades earned in these courses, while listed on the transcript, will not be computed into Oak Hall's grade point average. Each semester dual enrollment course will be awarded ½ high school credit. Arrangements to participate in dual enrollment must be confirmed at least two weeks prior to the beginning of each semester.
A junior or senior enrolled in four or more Advanced Placement and/or approved college dual enrollment courses in either first or second semester or both semesters may opt to enroll in only five credit-bearing courses. That student must have enough previous credits to be on track to meet the Oak Hall graduation requirement of twenty-four.
III. Mathematics: 4 credits required.
- Algebra I (may be completed in Middle School)
- Geometry (may be completed in Middle School)
- Algebra II
Geometry, Algebra II, and Precalculus are taught at the College Preparatory and Honors and levels. Many juniors and seniors elect to take AP Calculus A/B, and qualified seniors can take AP Calculus B/C.
VI. Fine Arts: 1 credit required from any of the following:
- Advanced Instrumental Music
- Advanced Photography
- AP Studio Art
- Art I
- Asian Art
- Ceramics I-II
- Creative Design
- Digital Storytelling
- Drawing and Painting
- Multimedia Applications
- Photography
- Publications
- Theater I-IV
VII. Health and Physical Education: 0.5 credit of each required.
IV. Science: 3 credits required.
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are taught at the College Preparatory and Honors and levels. There are a variety of Advanced Placement options in science, including: AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics I, AP Physics II, and AP Environmental Science.
Grading Procedures
Oak Hall School operates on a two-semester academic calendar, with two grading periods (quarters) each semester. The semester grade is determined by assigning 40% weight to each of the two quarters and 20% to the semester examination. Semester exams are given in all courses except performance and computer classes. Only the semester grade is recorded on the student's permanent record. One-half credit is awarded for each passing grade earned.
The school reports letter grades on report cards, transcripts, and teacher comments. Grade point averages (GPAs) are determined on a 4.0 scale. For computing GPA, Advanced Placement courses are weighted 1.0, and Honors courses are weighted .5. A percentage equivalent is included in the following chart:
F below 60% 0.00
Honors and Advanced Placement Courses
To qualify for Honors and Advanced Placement courses students must meet criteria established by each department. Students who then elect to take these courses must maintain a C average in the current course. Students earning a D or below will be placed on probation in that course for one quarter in order to allow them to raise their average to a C. Students who are enrolled in Advanced Placement courses are expected to take the AP examination, which is administered by the College Board in May. Students are normally limited to four AP classes each semester.
