What Is a Slip and Fall Case?
A "slip and fall" case can come from many kinds of preventable injuries. They are usually referred to as slip and falls because the most common cases come from slipping and falling, but other situations, such as trip and falls, and stumble and falls are in the same category. Property owners must ensure that their properties are safe and sometimes they do not even need to be aware of the dangerous condition in order to still be held responsible for it. Read more.
What Should You Do After a Slip and Fall?
After a slip and fall, you should make sure that you have an incident report filled out. Most businesses have procedures in place in case an accident occurs on their property. Next, you should seek medical attention because common slip and fall injuries, such as a concussion, can get worse over time. Read more.
What If You Slipped and Fell at a Commercial Property?
Commercial properties, such as stores, have to make sure that their properties are safer than other kinds of properties since they hold themselves open to the general public. This means that, in certain cases, they may be responsible for your injury even if they were not aware that the dangerous condition existed on their property. Read more.

Recently I switched from SVN to Mercurial. Now I wonder how to realize my intended branching work flow in Mercurial according to good practice, hoping other developers understand what happens in the repository.
This is the work flow:
- Usually I have a trunk/default branch where work on the current release series happens. Let's say that is 1.x. At the same time I use a branch 2.x to work on the next major release. Changes in this branch may be radical, so merging with the trunk/default/1.x branch makes no sense here.
- After a while work on 2.x may be finished and version 2.0 gets released. Now I want the 2.x branch to be the new default/trunk branch and the current default/trunk to be the 1.x branch.
- Repeating this process, there may come a new 3.x branch. As before, if 3.0 gets released, 3.x should become the new default branch while the then current default should become the 2.x branch (again).
My question is not whether this work flow is a good one (I guess it's not fundamentally wrong). My questions is whether the way I realize this in Mercurial can be seen as good practice or if there are better opportunities.
So here is how I plan to manage branches in Mercurial ...
Starting from a repository with a single branch which holds the code of the current release series 1.x:
$ hg init
$ echo "hello world" > file1.txt
$ hg ci -A -m "Initial commit of 1.x code"
Start working on release 2.x:
$ hg branch 2.x
$ hg ci -m "Create new branch for 2.x development"
$ echo "Big new feature for 2.x" > file2.txt
$ hg ci -A -m "Add big new feature"
Meanwhile, do some work in current release series (1.x):
$ hg up default
$ echo "Minor adjustments specific for 1.x" > file3.txt
$ hg ci -A -m "Minor adjustments"
After some time release 2.0 is ready, yippee! Make default branch to 1.x and 2.x to default:
$ hg up default
$ hg branch 1.x
$ hg ci -m "Make default branch to 1.x branch"
$ hg up 2.x
$ hg ci --close-branch -m "Close branch 2.x"
$ hg branch --force default
$ hg ci -m "Make former 2.x branch to new default"
Now create a new branch 3.x and work in it, also work on default. Again, after some time 3.0 is ready and it's time again to manage branch names:
$ hg up default
$ hg branch --force 2.x # (reuse previously closed 2.x branch name)
$ hg ci -m "Make default branch to 2.x branch"
$ hg up 3.x
$ hg ci --close-branch -m "Close branch 3.x"
$ hg branch --force default
$ hg ci -m "Make former 3.x branch to new default"
The repo now may look like this ('o' are the heads):
o Branch default (3.x)
| o Branch 2.x
| o Branch 1.x
The main point I'm not sure about is if reusing branch names and juggling with the branch name default is good practice.
A lot of text for that question - sorry - but I wanted to be clear about what I'm doing.

£16million funding gap next financial year
The Leader of Swansea Council has warned it faces tough budget choices to close its £16 million funding gap next year.
The Council will soon be launching its public consultation on budget proposals against a backdrop of reduced funding and increasing costs.
The Council has received an extra £1m for next year from the Welsh Government, but the gap between the money it received and what it needs to spend is more than £16 million.
Rob Stewart, Council Leader, said: "Although we had an extra £1 million from the Welsh Government, our funding has actually fallen in real terms.
"On top of this we have new spending pressures of more than £16 million. These include extra costs for nationally-agreed teachers' and staff pay awards and the rising demand for services such as social care.
"We've stated that education and social services are our priorities, but even these services may have to have their budgets reduced in order to find the £16 million in savings to balance our books.
"This means the Council faces making tough choices in where we spend our money and where we make savings.
"We will do everything we can to protect services and jobs, but these are very difficult financial times and we expect them to get worse. The picture for the next three years will see our funding fall by £55 million which means we'll need to make further significant savings.
"In the next few weeks we'll be completing our budget proposals and we'll be asking the public what they think. Their feedback will be vital in helping make final decisions on where we spend and save money."
The budget proposals are expected to be discussed by the Council's Cabinet on December 12. If agreed a public consultation will be launched to get feedback prior to Cabinet considering the proposals and consultation results in February.
Cllr Stewart added: "As a council we are doing everything we can to reduce costs by being more efficient through new working practices and digital services. We're reviewing all of our services to ensure they provide value for money and are run in the most efficient way.
"We're also aiming to become more commercial by providing services to the private sector and others to increase our income."

Acetylcysteine, Mannitol, Combination Chemotherapy, and Sodium Thiosulfate in Treating Children With Malignant Brain Tumors
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, etoposide phosphate, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Mannitol may help chemotherapy work better by making it easier for these drugs to get to the tumor. Chemoprotective drugs, such as acetylcysteine and sodium thiosulfate, may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving acetylcysteine together with mannitol, combination chemotherapy, and sodium thiosulfate may be an effective treatment for malignant brain tumors.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of acetylcysteine when given together with mannitol, combination chemotherapy, and sodium thiosulfate in treating children with malignant brain tumors.
|Condition or disease
|Bone Marrow Suppression Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/Organ Long-term Effects Secondary to Cancer Therapy in Children
|Biological: filgrastim Drug: acetylcysteine Drug: carboplatin Drug: cyclophosphamide Drug: etoposide phosphate Drug: mannitol Drug: sodium thiosulfate
|Phase 1
- Determine the toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of acetylcysteine when given in combination with blood-brain barrier disruption treatment with mannitol, combination chemotherapy comprising cyclophosphamide, etoposide phosphate, and carboplatin, and delayed high-dose sodium thiosulfate in pediatric patients with malignant brain tumors.
- Determine the blood/bone marrow toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of acetylcysteine.
Patients receive acetylcysteine IV over 30-60 minutes followed, at least 15 minutes later, by x-ray-guided femoral artery catheterization under general anesthesia on days 1 and 2. After placement of the catheter, patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 10 minutes, etoposide phosphate IV over 10 minutes, mannitol intra-arterially (IA) over 30 seconds, and carboplatin IA over 10 minutes also on days 1 and 2. Patients then receive high-dose sodium thiosulfate IV over 15 minutes 4 hours after completion of carboplatin. Some patients may receive a second dose of sodium thiosulfate 8 hours after completion of carboplatin. Beginning 48 hours after the last dose of chemotherapy on day 2, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously once daily for 7-10 days or until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of acetylcysteine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 3 patients are treated at the MTD.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.

- Biological: filgrastim
- Drug: acetylcysteine
administered i.v. over 30 to 60 minutes
- Drug: carboplatin
(200 mg/m2/day; total dose 400 mg/m2) will be infused i.a. over 10 minutes, in 50-180 cc of normal saline.
- Drug: cyclophosphamide
(330 mg/m2/day; total dose 660 mg/m2) will be infused i.v. in 25-50 cc of normal saline, over approximately 10 minutes.
- Drug: etoposide phosphate
(200 mg/m2/day; total dose 400 mg/m2) will be infused i.v. in 25-100 cc of normal saline, over approximately 10 minutes, immediately following the cyclophosphamide.
- Drug: mannitol
(25%) delivered i.a. at a pre-determined flow rate over 30 seconds. The flow rate will be determined by iodinated contrast injection and fluoroscopy as the lowest infusion rate in which there is retrograde flow from the arterial catheter. The rate and volume of mannitol infused will be approximately 4-12 cc/sec x 30 seconds.
- Drug: sodium thiosulfate
STS is available as a 25% (250 mg/ml) solution. The dose of STS administered 4 hours after carboplatin is 16 gm/m2. The dose of STS administered 8 hours after carboplatin is 16 gm/m2. Actual dose to be administered will be determined and mixed with an equivalent amount of sterile water (1 ml:1 ml) for infusion.
- To assess toxicity and the maximally tolerated dose of N-acetylcysteine administered in conjunction with carboplatin, cyclophosphamide and etoposide phosphate BBBD, and delayed high dose sodium thiosulfate, in children with malignant brain tumors.

"WHAT a lifeless, soul sucking piece of…" I'm pointing a handheld camera through the passenger window at John Carey who is delivering a withering assessment of the car he's just returned from the ride and handling course.
A Jaguar F-Pace rolls past me with enough dirt and mud caked on the bonnet to look like it has just taken on the Dakar Rally, Byron Mathioudakis is at the wheel with a furrowed brow and a serious look in his eyes.
Alex Inwood has finished scrawling his notes for the Mercedes-Benz GLC43 Coupe, and is now snatching the keys of a Holden Spark for his next tour of Ford's You Yangs proving ground, striding with the purpose of a man staring down the barrel of 12 hours of near non-stop vehicular assessment.
Welcome to the most comprehensive automotive awards in the world, the Wheels Car of the Year.
If the 2017 Wheels Car of the Year contenders were people, they would leave these tests battered and bruised, inspected to within an inch of their lives, and with confidence akin to a dropped ice cream cone left to melt on the pavement. And it's just day one!
Growing up as a young boy with an insatiable appetite for motoring content, reading COTYs of the past I was always aware this was the toughest, and biggest motoring test conducted on Australian soil, and possibly worldwide. However, on a windy November day, as a bona-fide member of the Wheels team, I was about to witness for the first time the COTY machine in action.
My arrival at the Ford proving ground was greeted with celebration as I came bearing gifts of caffeine – essential for the punishing, week-long judging schedule. I was blown away by what lay sprawled out in front of me.
What reading COTYs of past did not prepare me for was the sheer scale of the event. With 28 models to be assessed – along with their many variants – it amounts to 66 cars; a daunting task, and akin to stepping into motoring nirvana. Numbers on a page have a habit of understating the scale of it.
Before a single wheel is turned, each car is scrutinised with more vigour than some courtroom interrogations. When the ignitions are finally hit and the cars fire into life, hold on, because the seven COTY judges, with enough combined road testing kilometres under their belts to rival some Boeing 747s, will put these cars through the wringer. An attempt to film Nathan Ponchard from the passenger seat of an Audi A4 on the ride and handling loop is quickly abandoned, the camera relegated to my lap as I grip the closest handle.
Judges' assessments are crushing when deserved, and congratulatory if a contender is deemed worthy. And that is the biggest take away from my first Wheels Car of the Year experience – the single-minded purpose of it all. Everything from the location to the vast array of cars present, to the number of judges, is designed so the winner is held aloft without a single doubt that it is, indeed, the greatest car from the year that was.

There is a memory that has been playing on my mind lately: I was six I think and my Year One teacher (if that's what the English equivalent is, it was the year where you learn to read and write) asked me to stay after school because he wanted to discuss something with me.
I was, quelle surprise, a precocious child and he had recently discovered that, while everyone else was mastering words, I could actually already read full sentences. He was a very popular teacher; our school quite hippy-ish in its approach anyway (No, not quite Steiner 😉 ) and had the policy to address teachers by their first name, except for the preschool years in which we could address them as "Miss" (or "Mum", if you forgot where you were).
This teacher would actually effectively kill off "Sir" and "Mr" by theatrically shouting "NO! "SIR" IS DEAD!" when a new student slipped up. He might have done a death-scene, but I might have made that up. Sometimes he would tell one group of pupils to clear their desks and he would make his way, stepping on and over desks towards the door. The class-clown was our teacher and he noticed I could read.
Obviously, people were aware before: my mother was. Though she was not the Tiger-mum at all, she didn't discourage it either, using the motto: "She'll use it one day." My well-meaning preschool teachers thought I should play a bit longer (yeah, hippy can backfire) and insisted I kept calling the capital T in my exercise book a "parrot-stick". (It got playfully introduced to the children with a parrot on top.)
Now, this happened a long time ago and I am not sure what happened first. Possibly my Year One teacher started by getting me books for a higher level to read and then made time to teach me writing exercises for the year above to get me up to speed. One day, he asked whether I was right-handed or left-handed and came back with my very first fountain pen! He showed me how to use it, the cartridges – one to click in the top, one upside-down in the lower bit of the pen and how to clean it. The rest of the class was still working with pencil, so this was a big deal.
Again, I can't remember the order of things, extra spelling, extra maths (suddenly I had to learn times tables, where previously only adding and subtracting numbers up to 10.) Looking back on it as an adult, it seems so amazing that one person made such an effort for one child.
The biggest and best thing my teacher did however, was on that day he asked me to stay behind. When school finished that day, my friend (I still know exactly who it was) tried to pull me out of the door but I said I was asked to stay. So she left and the teacher and I sat at my desk, he sat on a pupil's chair, which made him look silly but put us on equal level. Kind of.
Then he asked me whether my mum had already told me about his proposal, I can't remember what I answered but I do remember what he said next: "We know you can read and write, and I think you could move up a year but the question is: Do you want to? " There it was: I was six and I was given the power of decision-making. I could choose to move or stay, both presented as perfectly acceptable choices but being the one who made the final decision influenced my life and how I perceive myself greatly.
It truly is a wonderful thing to have someone championing your corner, to support you and to guide you, but a teacher really surpasses himself when he gives the gift of trust, responsibility and power so his student can confidently walk her path alone.

Ramblings of a Internet Giant
When life throws you hard balls, you can either step back and take a swing or bunt the hell out of it. I just recently went to an information session on T-SQL, Stored Procedures and now LINQ. These folks discussed stored procedures and why they are so important in the world today.
They stated ideas such as:
Stored Procedures optimize queries.
They stop SQL Injection attacks.
Stored procedures are concrete and cannot be changed.
Stored procedures do not optimize queries.
A SP is not an optimized query, it does not save time. SP's used to save time and have been faster in the past, but more and more RAD development has been done without SP's. The development has caught up with SP's and dynamic SQL has now caught up and in some cases surpassed SP's. These days parameterized queries are now cached just like SP'swhich put them on an even playing field.
Microsoft LINQ and ADO teams both admit that SP's are not faster than dynamic SQL.
Benchmarks have also been completed which explicitly show SP's are slower over small queries and tie dynamic queries over larger ones.
Stored procedures do stop injection attacks, but you can also do it with parameterized queries.
SP's are good at this, but it can also be done with parameters. Putting a value into a parameter means that it will not be a part SQL query string at all.
Stored procedures are very concrete and are hard to change as a developer with a DBA. This is the problem.
As a developer when you push a product out the door, you want to be fast at this. Developers don't want to learn two languages in order for their product to be pushed out the door and then go back to the database every time code needs to be changed. They want dynamic abilities. When SP's are hard to change, it might be a bit harder and take longer when you have a DBA. The inability for SP's to be changed or created fast is the issue with this kind of development.
SP's mangle the three tier architecture designed for apps.
Instead of having a structure which separates logic from storage, you have storage and logic on the same tier. This will cause potential problems down the road.
Business logic in a SP does not scale. Business logic should be in code and not in the storage center.
When you have multiple database servers, it is more difficult to keep the triggers and SP's synced.
There is no Version Control for SP's.
In a place that can be disastrous if you screw up, it should have something. This is one big reason why people like to avoid SP's like the plague. They run away and never move back into town.
SP's are NOT cached and Are NOT Pre-Compiled
SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server version 7.0 incorporate a number of changes to statement processing that extend many of the performance benefits of stored procedures to all SQL statements. SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 7.0 do not save a partially compiled plan for stored procedures when they are created.

I have been piddling around with an idea for the past few weeks along with all my other ideas. Today I met with one of my old bosses at Florida Tech about the idea. She works in the program development part of the school. Its almost like the R&D department for events at FIT. We discussed bringing an idea like TED's to the South-East corner of the states. TED's is creative commons which allows it to be done anywhere with the name of TED's. I like this fact because it allows us to have the name behind the same caliber of information given.
We made a small timeline to shoot for March after or before spring break. This will give us plenty of time to plan and make ready one of the best conferences for one of the best innovative organizations on this planet. I personally think, if done right this could be turned into something amazing!
For all that don't know what TED is, here is a brief synopsis:
TED - TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds.
TED conferences include about 50 speakers world wide to come and express ideas that they have. These ideas are here to help the world on a small and large scale. Most ideas at TED have helped the human race as a whole and have brought together innovators from around the world. These innovators then speak for no longer than 18 minutes. They talk on what ever they have focused on in life. They then could win scholarships to help with their ideas and network with CEO's of companies along with other various people. This conference is top notch and you have the ability to learn so much in a very small amount of time. It adds the ability to collaborate with thinkers and doers in the world in which they now communicate with each other.
The conference is what I will try to bring to the South East. I hope to write more on this later. I will try to keep my progress updated regularly.
For the past few weeks I have been testing out a piece of software for note taking. I found the software by luck trolling through www.stackoverflow.com. The software is called Evernote. It can do almost everything that is need to do when you need to take a quick note. All the notes live in an online repository. Without the repository being Google, I worried that the information might not be there forever. I decided to take a test drive and let me tell you that this thing just kicks ass. I have it installed both on my phone and several computers where I can access the notes from anywhere. I fully enjoy this because my last note taking software was the TASKS section from outlook. Microsoft was doing a better job with them, but Evernotes ability to take notes anywhere is amazing. To briefly go through what kind of notes it can take:
For both os's, you can save, delete, tag, print, categorize each and every note.
I wanted to mention one more thing. This program is FREE! The service has limits unless you upgrade, but after using it for several weeks, I have yet to reach my limit.
I hope you will give EverNote a try. It does also have a IPhone version out as well.
A while back I witnessed how the profile properties of ASP.NET are stored in the database. All the properties all stored in one string. There is then another string that describes the properties and how to view them and pull them from the database.
For example you have this string:
Then you have another string that looks like this:
If you break it down correctly you could get something like this:
Now the question that I ask my self is:
Does this actually increase performance of the system?
I would argue yes and no. Since the system could have an infinite amount of members attached to it and a countless amount of profile properties. It would need to have something like this to decrease the amount of rows owned by a single user in the profile table. To give an example, I could be one user with 20 propertie. If the application had over 1,000,000 users, that would be 20,000,000 rows. That is huge and you must design for scale when it comes to an application that could potentially be used by all the world.
I would argue no to small applications. If you only ever expect 1,000 users to an application, then why build something this complex other than for the thrill of it. This is especially the case when you don't need to worry about space on the system. Space is cheap, but time spent coding a solution for this sample could be huge depending on experience.
I personally would build a generic code base for two ideas of this kind. You could first build the generic code for the example above, but there would be another generic sample to build for. Lets say that you knew you were only going to ever store numbers in your database for each user. These numbers could be used for ID's of another tables real data. So I only want to store ID's of a table for each user.
I would store them like:
This is because I wouldn't need another cell to split them up with indexes. I would just split the numbers by the Colon. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this and why or why not it is a good choice. Thanks for the time to read this.
If you haven't seen it yet. Mobile 6.1 was just release two months ago. I just found out and will be upgrading tonight.

I am two months short on this launch, but if your reading this then so are you!!!
Today I watched a Google Talk today about Technology. The president nominee spoke about ideas on free Internet, Public opinion, technology within bills that get passed in the house and senate, Public knowledge of bills, and more.
I for one am a Republican with many views against democrats and especially left wing democrats, but I do think that Technology can SAVE THE WORLD. I have not seen my parties stance on technology, but today I saw the democrats stance on technology. I ask you to also look at this stance. Republicans have not shown me what they plan on doing with technology, but democrats have.
So for me and the stance on technology, I lean towards the democratic view even though I am a republican.
I hope all of you also review this video and sit down for an hour and take the time out of your day to do so. This has greatly increased my chances for voting democrat.
Please understand, that I am not being political, but to show you what I think should be done in the technology market.
I read an article today that talked about swing voters. The people in the middle of both McCain and Obama that don't know which person to vote for. I for one am one of those people. I must say with less than a month to do before the election, I am a bit worried and coming down to the wire. My GF is pretty much for Obama and I am a republican but lean more in the middle than anything else. I only choose republican so I actually have a voice during the primaries instead of sitting out and not doing anything about my country.
Since I am in the middle and it is a current toss up on who to vote for, I must say that I am going to make a pros and cons list of what I think are each candidates good and bad qualities about them. This will hopefully quell my thoughts on who to vote for and a list to look back on when I get ready to vote.
I am doing my best to not be biased. If you find anything I say to be biased, please speak up. I also ask that you please give me more pros and cons to make up the decision of a middle ground person.
Please feel free to make comments on this post, because it will be something I will also take into account.
I needed to get a query completed like this in LINQ.
Select max(uid) as uid, Serial_Number from Table Group BY Serial_Number
Select max(uid) as uid, Serial_Number from Table Group BY Serial_Number
I thought about it for a while but didn't get anywhere. I kept testing until I asked another person and they came up with:
using (DataContext dc = new DataContext())
var q = from t in dc.TableTests
group t by t.SerialNumber
into g
select new
SerialNumber = g.Key,
uid = (from t2 in g select t2.uid).Max()
using (DataContext dc = new DataContext())
var q = from t in dc.TableTests
group t by t.SerialNumber
into g
select new
SerialNumber = g.Key,
uid = (from t2 in g select t2.uid).Max()
This code is very nice and sweet. It allows you to select the all MAX Rows of a table with a grouped table column.
Hope you enjoyed this little lesson. I decided to save this syntact because it is something I will most likely come accross again.
I found a website a few days ago that is very credible to things like Digg and technorati. Its called Hacker news and is offered by YCombinator.com which is a nest for startups. Hacker news is a very narrowed view of haaackers who work all day to hack away at jobs. The site is pretty simple in its design, but looks extremely valuable to the person looking to use the NITCH developer community.
It also uses Open ID which is great so I don't have to register and remember yet another password.
Website can be found here.
Thanks for reading.
Religion in someone's stand point is what makes up their values and beliefs. It is not involved in politics, but sometimes not as people would believe. I also disagree with Religion should be involved in politics. If you look at the time of old compared to now, you can truly and honesty say, religion in not involved.
Religion of the past does not run our government. It does not decide who lives or dies. It does not make rules for the people. Especially not like in the past when religion was the authority to the government.
It does though govern the moral and ethical decisions people make. Do I rip this guy off for a few hundred dollars, do I lie cheat or steal, do I live a life where abortion is accepted or not, do I live where people think there is a soul in everyone?
Religion does not govern the government. Religion governs those who wish it, because that is how some of you might define your values. Please don't say that religion is a deciding factor in this election or any other. It is religion that is a deciding factor in our lives and it is what defines some of us as a person. So what defines us as a person decides these elections not religion.

Increasing CT Lung Screening
The fight for lung cancer screening isn't over yet. According to a new study published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, low-dose CT lung cancer screening should be expanded to include smokers who gave up the habit long ago. The study examined more than 6,000 lung cancer patients and found that those who quit smoking over 15 years ago represented the largest group of diagnosed individuals who were not covered by screening — about 17 percent of the entire cohort. Further, by comparing data with earlier trials such as the National Lung Screening Trial, researchers determined that adding this cohort to the USPSTF recommendation would only result in a 0.6 percent increase in false positives.

On July 31, 2017, the Company entered into a mineral claim purchase agreement with Detour Gold Corporation ("Detour") to purchase a 100% interest in 37 mineral claims covering 7,104 hectares on the southern edge of the Golden Triangle. The claims are subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued 2,700,000 common shares to Detour in consideration for the claims. The Company staked 3 additional claims at a cost of $7,326.
The mineral claim purchase agreement was accepted for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange on August 10, 2017. The Company issued Detour 2,700,000 common shares with a fair value of $418,500 on August 14, 2017. The shares are subject to resale restrictions as follows:
On February 28, 2018, the Company released the results of the 2017 sampling program. Exploration on the Treasure Mountain property is limited by two major factors. The property is covered by lush vegetation and feature few outcrops. The outcrops are strongly leached of copper, which makes coper mineralization very difficult to detect by prospecting or soil sampling. Outcrops are often so strongly leached that there is no sign of high-grade copper mineralization on the surface, which can only be found after removing the first 10 to 15 centimetres of barren rock.
Highlights of 2017 sampling include:
- 7 grams per tonne gold, 1.14 per cent copper and 35.8 grams per tonne silver from a new showing that is partially exposed shear in an overburden covered area;
- 98 grams per tonne gold and 1.51 per cent copper from a grab sample from an old trench;
- A weighted average of 3.37 per cent copper and 30.68 grams per tonne silver from nine chip samples
The Treasure Mountain property has a great potential to host copper-silver and/or copper-gold deposits. It features numerous copper showing as well as newly located copper-gold showings, of which only part have been examined recently. An induced polarization geophysical survey is recommended for the next phase of exploration.

Citizen Competence and Democratic Institutions
Citizen Competence and Democratic Institutions
Bringing together new work from many of the leading experts on democratic citizenship, this volume presents both normative argument and empirical analysis to help deepen our understanding of the various competences that citizens require if there is to be a flourishing democratic political order in our present age.
The essays explore the following themes: (1) the essential components of democratic citizenship and how these can be fostered; (2) the state of citizen competence in various democratic regimes; (3) civil society as a crucial site for the exercise and development of democratic citizenship; (4) new findings that show democratic citizens to have more political information and behave more rationally than hitherto supposed; and (5) the theory and practice of new institutional forms for democratic deliberation and democratic control.
The final section of the book explores new and revitalized forms of democratic participation as well as the kind of participation that is likely to foster a wide variety of citizen competences. The discussion runs from what we know and can expect from town meetings, to the value of public work in fostering a democratic citizenry, to entirely new forms for expressing citizen judgment.

Staff at a Dewsbury-based school are celebrating after it was rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted.
St John's Under 5s Pre-School in Dewsbury Moor achieved the highest possible grade across all areas of practice following an inspection by Ofsted in January.
The inspector looked at key areas including leadership and management; teaching, learning and assessment; personal development, behaviour and welfare; and outcomes for children.
They found that: "Children flourished in the highly inspiring environment and first class teaching helps children to solve problems and persevere" and that "Staff provided a superb range of activities that embraces the diversity of children's home lives and they teach children to value other people and the wider world."
Ofsted also recognised the pre-school's role in preparing children for times of change, such as starting school, and praised St John's for its exemplary work with families who are encouraged and supported to be fully involved in their child's learning.
A spokesperson for the pre-school said: "We want to say a big thank you to our staff and committee of trustees for all their hard work and to the wonderful children and their parents and carers for making the pre-school the happy and successful place that it is.
"It was lovely to hear parents and carers say they always knew we were a fantastic pre-school and that their children love coming here and the staff go to great lengths to ensure each child's individual needs are met.
"The highest award of all, is that parents and carers feel confident and happy leaving their children in our care."
