Halloween is still two weeks away yet our X Factor favourites 'Only The Young' have posted a cover of 'The Monster Mash' originally sung by Bobby "Boris" Pickett back in the 60's – we all know how they love putting a spin on the classics.
The cover came with a video of the foursome performing as creepy vampires and zombies whilst having a blast at a spooky style 'rave' with dramatic backing dancers which have also been put in full costume.
However the video was posted specifically to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. The track has also been made available for a free download from their website, so if you like the track – donate!

DULUTH, Minn.--The Adrian College men's hockey team, the four-time defending Peters Cup champions, have been picked to finish in second place in the 2018-19 Northern Collegiate Hockey Association race, according to a vote of the league's 12 head coaches. The NCHA office announced the preseason poll results this afternoon.
Adrian returns 16 skaters and two goalies from last season's squad that finished 24-6 overall and 17-1 for first place in the NCHA South Division. The Bulldogs won their fourth-consecutive NCHA Peters Cup regular-season championship and advanced to the conference tournament final for the 10th time in 11 seasons of their existence. Adrian also made its sixth NCAA tournament appearance in a row and eighth in school history.
After spending much of the 2017-18 regular season as the No. 1 team in the national polls, the Bulldogs came in second with 112 points and two first-place votes in the NCHA preseason rankings.
Three-time All-America defenseman Cory Dunn returns for his senior campaign, leading five Bulldogs who have earned all-conference at some point in their careers. Dunn has racked up career scoring totals of 18 goals, 79 assists and 97 points in 88 games played, including 3+27=30 in 30 a season ago. Senior left wing Trevor Boyd hopes to regain his All-America form of two years ago after posting 17+11=28 totals as the team's top returning goal scorer from 2017-18. They are joined by All-NCHA performers senior goalie Kevin Entmaa (16-4 W-L, 1.88 GAA, .932 Save%, 1114:36 MP), senior right wing/center Bryan Yim (8+11=19) and senior center Connor Armour (1+5=6; limited to nine games because of injury).
The team welcomes 12 newcomers including a pair of NCAA Division I transfers coming closer to home in junior right wing Bryce Van Horn (Port Huron, Mich./Colorado College, NCHC) and junior right defenseman Niko Coffman (Chelsea, Mich. /Bowling Green State University, WCHA).
The Bulldogs graduated a talented group at offense, but lean heavily on Dunn, a three-time All-NCHA pick, and Entmaa, who last season posted a 16-4 mark with a .932 save percentage and 1.88 goals-against average--all career bests and figures that rank sixth, third and fourth in school single-season history.
"We're looking forward to the season, like everyone. In October, it's easy to say you're excited," said Adrian head coach Adam Krug '12, who is 92-21-6 (.798) in four seasons on the Bulldogs bench. "A lot is new. Year-to-year your team is different whether you graduate zero, one, or 20 players. So, yeah, we're excited.
"We've got 12 newcomers. There was a lot of trying different guys in certain spots but naturally, the chemistry has taken over and things are coming along well," he said. "An early preseason trip to Princeton was great for our guys. To compete against a high end D-I team and have the ability to have that camaraderie among our group was a nice touch.
Krug added: "We have a pretty loaded schedule. We'll be tested right out of the gate at Utica, games against top-notch NCHA opponents will give us a good measuring stick through November before non-conference picks up before Christmas break. The conference is the best in the country, in my opinion. Couple that with seven games against high-end non-conference opponents, we hope, creates a team that is ready to play deep into March."
Following a season that culminated with a victory in the NCAA Division III national championship game, St. Norbert College (27-4-1, 15-3-0 NCHA) has been picked by league coaches to place first in the upcoming NCHA regular season, tabulating 119 points and 10 of the 12 first-place votes.
All-NCHA goalie T.J. Black headlines the returners after finishing second in the nation with his 1.44 GAA, first with 27 wins and third with a .940 save percentage. NCHA All-Freshman honorees Peter Bates (11-17-28 points), Keegan Milligan (12-13-25) and defenseman Luke Davison (6-13-19) also return for the Green Knights.
Marian University (20-8-1, 12-6-0), fresh off the first-ever league and school at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and a finish in the Top 15 in the country, came in third with 96 points. The Sabres graduated a talented core, but have Hunter Vorva returning in goal after going 20-8-1 with a .924 save percentage and 1.93 GAA.
The College of St. Scholastica went 15-11-1 last season, placing fourth in the poll with 85 points. Kyle Star (6-17-23) leads the offense into the new season after topping the Saints in scoring last winter.
Concordia University (77 points/16-9-2 in 2017-18) and Lake Forest College (74 points/15-11-2) make up the next two tightly-contested spots at fifth and sixth in the poll, as Brayden Barker (6-18-24) looks to improve on an inaugural campaign for the Falcons, one in which he was named NCHA Freshman of the year. The Foresters are led by NCHA All-League goalie Louis-Phillippe De Courcy, who posted a .928 save percentage and 2.15 GAA a year ago.
Seventh through 10th place in the coaches poll were also tight, with Aurora University (5-15-5 last year) finishing seventh with 54 points, MSOE (11-14-2) eighth with 50, Lawrence University (10-15-2) ninth with 48 and Northland College (9-13-3) 10th with 43.
Trine University (20 points) and Finlandia University (14) rounded out the poll.

If you have an online presence for your business, branding is very important. You see it with big companies, such as Qantas and Coca Cola. If you see their logo anywhere you know what it's about. If you buy from them, you have a pretty good idea of what to expect. This is what you need to give to your customers, albeit on a smaller scale.
Branding is about definition, communication and consistency. We are going to look at all of these points in this article. Done well, online branding improves the reputation of your business. This means that you can charge a good rate for your products, increase sales and make more profit. You can see the value that good branding can provide.
Defining and creating your brand
When you are creating your brand identity you need to consider what you want to get across to potential customers.
It could be that you want to concentrate on affordability. Is your product more affordable than other similar products on the market. If it is, your branding should make people aware of the fact.
Do you have an unusual product to sell? If this is the case you need to make sure your branding helps you tell people what is so unusual and why this is a unique selling point.
Is your business known for being reliable? If the answer is yes, then this message needs to be part of your branding, across your web presence.
When you are creating your brand, and communicating what is good about your business, you need to take account of your customer base. Do not make assumptions about what they are looking for; do your research.
A good brand reflects what your business is all about and encourages customers to engage with you. You need to make sure that you have everything covered when you are looking at branding your business:
- A memorable logo. If you look at the McDonald's logo, you immediately know which brand it represents. Your business may not have the worldwide recognition of McDonald's, but you need to make sure that you choose a logo which people can relate to, and recognise as representing you.
- A voice that you use in all communications. The voice of a business is very important; it helps people to recognise you, and to engender trust. Are you a business that provides fancy dress? You may want to adopt a voice that is lively, friendly and fun. Are you a law firm? You may decide on a voice that is professional, without being too overbearing.
- A tagline that works. Think of the really good movie taglines, such as "You'll never go in the water again" for Jaws. They add depth to the title and they make people want to see the movie. Your tagline needs to say something about you, without being over long. It needs to be relevent, snappy and encourage people to want to know more.
- Key messages. What is it that you most want to say about your business? You need to decide what the key messages are. Do not be tempted to produce reams of messages because you get caught up with trying to tell people everything about you. This does not work. Just pick the small number of messages that are really key to what you do and what you can provide.
- Templates for your communications. If you are developing a brand, you want it to be reflected across all of your communications. This is why it's so important to make sure that you use templates for communications such as newsletters.
It takes time to develop a brand, and learn how to use it online, so be patient. You may also want to check out online marketing services, to get some help from the experts. They have built up a vast amount of experience and expertise, which they can put to use helping you with your branding.
Communicating your brand
So, you have created your brand, and you have everything in place. How do you communicate your brand online? The most obvious place to start is your website. You need to make sure that this is created, or updated, to reflect your branding. You should ensure that your logo is prominent, and it's also a good idea to include your tagline in a highly visible place on your website homepage.
You should also make use of social media. It's free, and it's an excellent means of spreading the word about your brand. Once people start to see you as reliable and reputable they will start to talk about you across social media. You can use people who like and follow you to help with your marketing, completely free of charge. Do not forget to include your logo and tagline in your profile. You can also use your profile to communicate the key messages you want to get across.
Email marketing is still a strong method of communicating with customers and potential customers. Once they begin to recognise your branding they will pay more attention to your communications; assuming you provide a good customer experience for them. Always remember to use branded emails with contact details and reference to your web presence.
Being consistent
Once your branding is in place, it's important that you stick with it. Every single online communication and publication should contain your branding. People need to associate what you do, say and sell with your brand.
As long as you deliver on your promises, you will build on your good reputation. If you are not consistent with your branding, you run the risk of looking unprofessional. Your message also becomes confused, so people are unsure about what to expect from you.
Once you have branding in place it needs to be included in everything you do. Of course, this means you need to ensure that everyone who works for you knows what is expected when it comes to the use of your branding.
As you can see, branding is all about developing your online presence and your reputation. If people associate your brand with a good experience they will tell others and your customer base will grow, as will your profits. You may be the very best at what you do but if no-one associates that accolade with you then it really does not mean that much.
The ultimate aim is for people to see your logo and business name and know exactly what you do and how good you are. If you post on Facebook to tell people about a success story, you need to make sure that your branding is there for them to relate to the story. If you invite people to an event, your name and logo should be prominently displayed on the invitation email or flyer.
It's also a good idea to include branding such as your tagline and key messages. When the event is a success, attendees need to know who to tell their friends about.
Hopefully, you can now see what branding is all about, and exactly how important it is for your business.

Millwall assistant boss Ray Wilkins stressed the importance of reaching the Championship play-offs this season after the club's first taste of European football in midweek but, on the evidence of this performance, the players did not heed those words.
Second-half goals from Danny Webber and Heidar Helguson condemned 10-man Millwall to a home defeat and gave Watford their second away victory.
Watford were already a goal up when Danny Dichio was sent off after 70 minutes, and they cruised home after that against a Millwall team who never reached the levels they achieved in Thursday's 1-1 Uefa Cup home draw with Ferencvaros.
Barry Cogan thought he had put Millwall in front in the 20th minute, but his header was disallowed for a foul on Watford keeper Richard Lee.
But Watford also created chances, the best of them a Brynjar Gunnarsson header which hit the bar and bounced on to the line.
Millwall player-manager Dennis Wise left himself on the bench for the first half while Cogan came in for his first start of the season.
For Millwall, there was a neat piece of skill by Cogan, who lifted the ball over Mayo and struck a left-foot shot that was deflected behind by Watford skipper Sean Dyche.
The second half was poor but Watford provided a move of quality to open the scoring.
Neal Ardley slipped the ball to Paul Mayo, who crossed from the left for Helguson to head goalwards.
Millwall keeper Graham Stack saved the Icelandic striker's effort but he could do not prevent Webber touching in the rebound from a yard out.
Dichio's miserable afternoon was completed in the 72nd minute when he was sent off, given a second yellow card for a late challenge on Mayo.
Watford wrapped up the points with a breakaway goal five minutes later.
With all but three Millwall players upfield, Helguson broke clear and hit a fine left-footed finish that gave Stack no chance.

Being the maid of honor is without a doubt one of the most exciting roles within the bridal party. You get to go dress shopping, pick out decorations, and plan events like the bachelorette party! While it may seem like pure fun, it comes with responsibility and sometimes, complications. Here's a few ways to keep it stress free.
Gather a list of who will be attending the bachelorette party.
This is a vital step in all party planning! Remember, the bridal party is not the only people who are invited! The bride has close friends and family who also need to be included. If anything, the more, the merrier. Group rates with a larger number of people tend to be cheaper than that of a smaller group. Once you have an official list that has been verified by the bride, it's time to start planning.
Get a feel for where the bride really wants to go.
Is she a partier who belongs in Vegas? Does she prefer a more laidback environment like a winery? Or would she rather spend her free time in the spa? We're not telling you to come out and ask her exactly where she wants it, but maybe ask for a few suggestions. This way you'll have a range of ideas that you know will make her happy, for sure.
Figure out a budget.
Yes, you're the maid of honor, so it's your responsibility to plan this party, but you're not the only one paying for it. The entire bridal party contributes to the bachelorette party. It is important that you sit down with the girls or even make a group chat to come to an agreement regarding the budget. Obviously, if the group says they are limited to spend $250 each, Vegas is out of the question, but at least you'll know a price range in order to book a specific location or outing.
The bridal party covers majority of the bride's expenses.
She is the guest of honor, so it would be rude to ask her to pay her way entirely. If you're planning on booking a weekend trip out of state, add up the amount of money each person is willing to spend in order to figure out your budget for flight, hotel, and food. Note that you are not required to cover every bit of her trip. If the group cannot afford to provide both flight and hotel, consider booking an Airbnb or ask the bride for some money towards one. We can guarantee you that she appreciates the effort you've all put into planning this for her, and does not expect that much from you.
You are only one person!
Do not feel completely liable for planning the entire bachelorette party! Instead of putting all that pressure on yourself, split the tasks and assign one or two per person. Ask one person to make reservations at a nice restaurant in the area, while another plans the activities to follow after dinner. To stay organized, keep a checklist of every bridesmaid and their assigned task to make sure everything gets done. In the end, this will take a hefty load off your shoulders resulting in smoother planning.
One night is enough.
There is no official rule that bachelorette parties have to last all weekend. If a sufficient budget seems to become a problem while trying to plan for multiple days, it's better off that you plan for one night. It's more than likely that the bride would enjoy a night of entertainment over a mediocre hotel room located a half hour away from all the action. Time can't measure fun!
No means no.
We cannot stress this enough. If the bride tells you she does not want to end up in a casino or club at the end of the night, listen to her. If she tells you she doesn't want inappropriate decorations and lollipops around the hotel room, listen to her. If she tells you she doesn't want a stripper, listen to her. Although these are typical things you see at most bachelorette parties, not all brides are the same. Do not do anything to make her uncomfortable. If that's your thing, you'll get your chance when it's your turn.
Plan the perfect timing.
The bride has so much on her plate right now and not much time in between. The ideal time to plan the bachelorette party is usually a month before the actual wedding. She might be stressing that the wedding date is approaching, but at least most of her planning is complete. This way she'll be able to unwind and spend time with her favorite group of girls to alleviate some of that stress. However, always confirm with the bride before setting the date!
It's only about the bride.
What may be fun to the bride might be boring to others, but there is no room for selfishness while planning. If there are certain activities on the schedule that you might not like, smile through it. If there are certain people attending that you might not like, keep your composure. The bride asked you to be a part of her bridal party, because you are extremely important to her. It would shatter her if you made it apparent that you weren't having a good time at her bachelorette party. She only gets to do this once, so make the best of it and don't spoil it for her.

November 30, 2016
(3:35 p.m. EST) -- Officials broke ground today on Terminal F, PortMiami's new cruise terminal, which will house MSC Divina, and the upcoming MSC Seaside.
The project entails renovating and expanding an existing terminal, as well as constructing a new building for MSC's ships.
MSC Cruises continues its expansion into the North American cruise market with MSC Seaside -- debut December 2017 -- and has been actively involved in the process of designing Terminal , according to a news release.
The new Terminal F will include:
- An expanded waiting area that will accommodate 1,500 people
- A private VIP waiting area for MSC Yacht Club passengers on Seaside
- Dedicated waiting areas for cruisers who booked the Aurea Experience with priority embarkation and MSC Black Card members
- A "more flexible and efficient" baggage claim area as well as advancements that will work with Seaside's "smart ship technology" that will lead to a "smoother debarkation process"
Completion of the terminal is expected a year from now, on December 1, 2017. MSC Seaside is scheduled to launch three weeks later on December 21.
The float out ceremony of MSC Seaside recently took place at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Italy.

When I was growing up everybody mimed on Top of the Pops. I think it was compulsory. Around the same time a pop star who'd been on said that the experience (and I'm paraphrasing) was like 'shagging with a Johnny on'. You'll notice I said 'a pop star' and that I was paraphrasing. That's because I couldn't find it when I googled and that's not the sort of search term you repeatedly want in your cookies. So the whole thing may be apocryphal anyway.
The point though was that it was good but there was a better version. I've always thought you could apply the same saying to watching your team live on TV. It's a step up from Radio or Seagulls Player or following text commentary or twitter on a London Bus or in an Oxfordshire bedroom (I'm thinking these others as first base) but it's still not the same as being there. Reading away on the telly? Time to move on from first base. The only problem was I had sole charge of my two small children as my wife was away at a conference. So the potential was there for multiple instances of coitus interruptus.
There are several places the metaphor falls down. Firstly it lasts over ninety minutes which is a stretch even for Viagra addicts or Sting. Secondly, the last time I watched a game on TV was Ukraine versus England during which I repeated shouted 'for fucks sake', 'useless' and 'put some effort in for Christ's sake'. This is not the way to get an appreciative partner during sexy time. It's more likely you'll end up dismembered. Luckily a good way to reign this in is, again, is to have sole charge of two small children. So how was it for me?
Five minutes before the game started I sat the children down with crayons, felt tips and enough paper to cause consternation among any passing Green Party members. Then it was time to hope that they didn't come in and catch me doing anything inappropriate, or for that matter want to know what those weird noises were.
Quite early on and my date starts going wrong. On 5 minutes we push up for a free kick and a speculative overhead-kick long ball leads to a chance for La Fondre to break clear and score for Reading. Luckily Ward covers with an outstanding tackle. It's the equivalent of the waiter forgetting the pre-dinner drinks before bringing some better champagne to make up for it.
The children were still settled with their drawing and painting. This never happens. The mogadon must have worked. Joke. Maybe.
Reading were still making my life difficult by pushing up and pressing to stop our possession game and they were making a good job of it but then Crofts got the first stifled scream out of me with a header that just missed the post. Tease.
The first major kid interruption occurs on 26 mins as the toddler rips her painting and defiantly screams for more paper. Naturally I paused the TV for a second and gave her it. The children must not see what I'm up to.
Now if one thing is guaranteed to make your date go swimmingly it's an early indication that someone goes down easily. On 31 minutes Reading went down to 10 men as Pogrebnyak picked up a 2nd yellow for diving. And here's the area where TV is better. Pogrebnyak earned two silly yellows which from the telly you could tell WERE silly yellows. Those at the game may still be wondering what it was for. But a dive it was. Still the game immediately went niggly as Reading tried to even the numbers. Is that a reputation I see quickly being backtracked?
What would be really bad at this stage would be for one of our key players to do something stupid and get themselves sent off. Like say Ulloa kicking someone in the face. Fucks sake. What WAS he thinking? Back in metaphor land we have polished off some beautifully cooked fish only to then have a row about her mother. We can still do this but it's not going to be the shoe in it was five minutes ago.
At half time Oscar did a Wenger. He did not see the incident. Ok then boss.
The second half started and Reading came out strongly with Bridge at the forefront. This is like bumping in to an old lover as you walk out of the restaurant still pointedly refusing to apologise.
But then comes a period where everything is (almost) rosy again. I must have pulled the metaphorical bouquet out. We got in to the game and started giving it some. On 54 minutes Spanish Dave creates himself a beautiful chance but then he over slices it. Still I'm sensing glamorous undies. Maybe even stockings.
Ashley Barnes comes on and we start snogging in the back of the taxi. That's me and the metaphorical date you understand. Not me and Ash. I can see how that looked. Don't RT this please. Cough.
But how else could I feel? The toddler has taken herself off for a nap, the boy is alternating between watching and drawing. We were dominant. And there it is. Brilliant cross from Crofts & super volley from Barnes. Only the bastard keeper saves it. In my cab my phone rings and it's the boss. Then their keeper produces another majestic save. The bastard wants me in early tomorrow.
And then Barnes misses from a yard. It was a brilliant save on to the post but it's the equivalent of me mentioning her mother again. Frustration all round as we both go to bed with our PJs on and read a good book. 0-0 full time. I do hope that report wasn't too redolent of Ian Holloway.
To drop the ridiculous metaphor for a second it's actually a pleasing point. I predicted here that Reading and QPR would go up automatically and we never beat them so to get a point at their place is a good afternoon's work. Next up? That would be QPR. Away. Without Ulloa. Gulp.

(TSX-V: CBE) (the "Company" or "Cabo") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a share purchase agreement (the "RTO Transaction Agreement") dated as of October 27, 2018, with Phoenix Capital Enterprises Ltd. ("Phoenix"), pursuant to which Cabo will effect a business combination and reverse takeover transaction that will result in, among other things, Cabo acquiring all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tengri Resources Pte. Ltd. ("Tengri Resources Pte"), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Singapore, in exchange for cash and newly issued common shares of Cabo (the "RTO Transaction"). Phoenix is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and controlled by Messr. Khurlee Ankhbayar, a resident of Mongolia. See below for additional information on Messr. Ankhbayar.
The RTO Transaction will be subject to relevant regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), standard closing conditions, the approval of the directors of each of Cabo and Phoenix, approval of Cabo shareholders, the completion of due diligence investigations to the satisfaction of each of Cabo and Phoenix, as well as the satisfaction of the conditions described below. Cabo, following completion of the RTO Transaction, is referred to herein as the "Resulting Issuer".
Tengri Resources Pte, a private company wholly owned by Phoenix, owns 100% of the securities of Tengri Resources LLC ("Tengri LLC"), which is the 100% owner of Richfluorite LLC ("Richfluorite"), which is the 100% owner of Jonsht Gazar LLC ("Jonsht Gazar"). Tengri LLC, Richfluorite and Jonsht Gazar are corporations incorporated under the laws of Mongolia.
Richfluorite is the registered and beneficial holder of seven (7) fluorspar mining licenses and two (2) quartz mining licenses in Mongolia and Jonsht Gazar is the registered and beneficial holder of two (2) fluorspar mining licenses in Mongolia, hereinafter together referred to as the "Mining Licenses".
The nine (9) fluorspar mining licenses held by Richfluorite and Jonsht Gazar cover an area of 3,004 hectares over three (3) project areas. The mining licenses have various expiry dates from October 2035 through to July 2047, which can be extended for another 40 years if supported by mineral reserves. Within the nine (9) licenses, there are twenty-two (22) known epithermal style fluorspar vein and vein breccia prospects. The fluorspar mineralization is hosted by veins, vein breccia and stockwork vein zones in granitic and volcanic host-rocks. Individual fluorspar veins range from 1 cm to 2 m wide and typically dip steeply, from vertical to -65 degrees. In the zones of interest, these veins cluster together forming vein breccia zones that are up to 60 m wide.
Twenty (20) of these epithermal style prospects are located on seven (7) mining licenses in two (2) of the three (3) project areas in eastern Mongolia. Tengri Resources Pte has completed extensive exploration on these seven (7) licenses, including 131 drill holes (6,877 m) and assaying of 668 samples. The twenty (20) prospects within these two (2) project areas contain fluorspar mineralized zones ranging from 0.3 m to 30 m wide and have been traced along strike for 30 to 700 m. Individual assays from channel and core samples range from 18 to 87% CaF2. The average grade from all samples collected from these seven (7) mining license areas is 40.2% CaF2. Tengri Resources Pte has registered mineral resources on these licenses as a condition of converting them from exploration to Mining Licenses. These resources are not reported herein, since a qualified person has not done sufficient work on the Prospects to classify them as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the issuer is not treating them as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
Tengri Resources Pte has completed detailed work programs in one (1) of the three (3) project areas, covering the remaining two (2) mining licenses. This area is located west of the town of Choyr, in central Mongolia. Tengri Resources Pte has completed 171 drill holes for a total of 20,577 m of exploration drilling on these two (2) licenses. Drilling has outlined two (2) fluorspar deposits – Ikh Bichigt and Bumbat prospects – containing historical resources totalling 16.5 million tonnes (Mt) grading 18.2% CaF2 as shown in Table 1.
The historical resource estimate for the Ikh Bichigt and Bumbat prospects was based upon a plan to mine both deposits, initially from open pits using a cut-off grade of 10% CaF2, and later by underground mining using a cut-off grade of 7% CaF2. The historical estimate used a bulk density of 2.68 t/m3 for mineralization and 2.50 t/m3 for wallrocks, and utilized a block model approach to a maximum depth of 250 m. The historical resource estimate was prepared by Xstract Mineral Consultants, a reputable Australia based company in December 2013. The categories used are very similar to those recommended for Canadian classification, as outlined by CIM guidelines; however, they require reconciliation to CIM classification to meet the requirements of NI 43-10 guidelines. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or reserves and this resource estimate is not being treated by the company as a current resource.
Tengri Resources Pte plans to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to study the possibility of constructing a central processing facility that would upgrade the material produced from the Ikh Bichigt and Bumbat prospects, as well as potential mineralization from the other seven (7) mining licenses in the region.
The quartz project consists of two (2) quartz mining licenses held by Richfluorite covering 320 contiguous hectares in southeastern Mongolia. The quartz licenses have expiry dates of April 2036 and August 2048, and can also be extended for another 40 years, if reserves are demonstrated. The licensed area includes a historical resource estimate of 4.4 Mt at 98.9% SiO2 using a cut-off grade of 98.0% of SiO2 (1.5 Mt at 99.19% SiO2 using a lower cut-off grade of 98.0% SiO2). The historical resource estimate was prepared by Xstract Mineral Consultants in July 2012. It utilized the results from four (4) drill holes and surface exposure covering approximately 600 m of a 2.5 km long quartz vein. A specific gravity of 2.65 was used for the estimates. The quartz deposit requires additional drilling and a reconciliation of the mineralized material into the CIM classification system recommended by NI 43-101 guidelines. A qualified person has not done sufficient work on the Prospect to classify the historic estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
A processing plant which purifies quartz and produces Solar Grade Silicon Metal (SoG Si) is proposed by Tengri Resources Pte to increase the purity levels to plus 99%.
Tengri Resources Pte has commissioned an independent consultant to update the resource calculations for the historic fluorspar and quartz resources pursuant to NI 43-101 reporting requirements, which reports are expected to be delivered to Tengri Resources Pte and Cabo in December, 2018, and detailed in a subsequent news release.
Cabo's President and CEO John A. Versfelt states, "the proposed RTO Transaction with Phoenix represents an opportunity for Cabo to enhance shareholder value, and, in my opinion, will enable Cabo to transform from an operating drilling company into an industrial mineral mining and drilling company, with primary operations in Mongolia and Canada, as well as subsidiaries in Latin American and Europe." Mr. Versfelt notes that "as a result of equity financing agreements of CDN$330 million, which are subject to standard conditions noted below, Tengri Resources Pte and Cabo shareholders will be positioned to develop two strategic mineral deposits, with funding in place to build two processing plants for the production of high quality acidspar and solar grade silicon metals, should the economic viability and technical feasibility of the project be established."
On May 13, 2018 and June 14, 2018, Tengri Resources Pte entered into agreements (the "Share Subscription Agreements") for a total of CDN$330 million in equity financings with GEM Global Yield Fund LLC SCS and GEM Investments America, LLC (together, "GEM") for the development of the fluorspar and quartz projects. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Subscription Agreements, the Resulting Issuer will have the right to draw down under the facilities from time to time for a term of three years from the date of the agreement. Common shares of the Resulting Issuer will be issued to GEM at a price per share equal to the higher of (i) the floor price set by the Resulting Issuer and (ii) 90% of the average closing price for common shares trading on the TSXV or TSX, as the case may be, over a period of 15 consecutive trading days preceding the closing date for the draw down. Each draw down shall be conditional upon the number of shares issued not exceeding 700 percent of the average daily trading volume over a 15-day period preceding the date of the draw down notice. Each draw down is subject to certain market out rights of GEM and approval of the TSXV or TSX, as the case may be. GEM will hold freely trading common shares of the Resulting Issuer through a share lending facility provided by certain shareholders. The Share Subscription Agreements specifically contemplated the completion by Tengri Resources Pte of a RTO transaction and the accession to the agreement by the Resulting Issuer.
Pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreements, the Resulting Issuer will pay a total fee of CDN$6,600,000 to GEM Investments America, payable, upon the soonest of: (i) the occurrence of the first few placements under the Share Subscription Agreement; (ii) 12 months from the date of the RTO Transaction; (iii) a change of control of the Resulting Issuer; and (iv) the occurrence of a material change in ownership of the Resulting Issuer. The Resulting Issuer shall also issue warrants exercisable within five (5) years of the date of the Share Subscription Agreement. The warrants shall be priced at the closing price of the Resulting Issuer's common shares on the first day of trading upon completion of the RTO Transaction and shall be equal to up to 9.9% percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer, on a fully diluted basis, on the first day of trading upon completion of the RTO Transaction.
Pursuant to the RTO Agreement Cabo shall purchase Tengri Resources Pte from Phoenix for a total consideration of US$300,000,000 in cash and shares as follows:
It is agreed between Phoenix and Cabo, that immediately prior to the closing of the RTO Transaction, Cabo will complete a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of all of its outstanding common shares (the "Cabo Securities") on the basis of one (1) security for each nineteen (19) outstanding Cabo Securities. Upon completion of the RTO Transaction and the consolidation of the Cabo Securities, Cabo Shareholders will hold 4,941,531 post-Consolidation shares.
A US$500,000 bridge loan facility will be advanced by Phoenix to Cabo for Working Capital required during the RTO Transaction approval process. In the event Cabo requires additional working capital, Phoenix may provide a line of credit of up to US$500,000 from the date of this Share Purchase Agreement, at terms to be agreed upon between Phoenix and Cabo.
The Company will pay a finder's fee of 500,000 consolidated common shares concurrently with the closing of the RTO Transaction, which shares will be subject to a four (4) month hold period under applicable securities laws.
Cabo intends to apply to list its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), graduating to the TSX from its current listing on the TSXV, as it is anticipated that the Company will satisfy the TSX's minimum listing requirements, including working capital, financial resources and property requirements. The Company also trades on the Frankfurt Exchange.
None of the Non-Arm's Length Parties to Cabo has any direct or indirect interest in Phoenix, Tengri Resources Pte or their respective assets nor are they insiders of Phoenix or Tengri Resources Pte. The RTO Transaction is an "Arm's Length Transaction" as defined in the policies of the TSXV.
The completion of the RTO Transaction will be subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions prior to closing, including, but not limited to, the following:
Upon completion of the RTO Transaction, each of the current directors of Cabo, being John A. Versfelt, Peter Freeman and Tom Oliver, shall remain on the board of the Resulting Issuer and Phoenix will have the right to nominate two (2) directors.

Mongolia, with its democratic government, wealth of mineral resources and growing economy, is attracting international investors. According to the World Bank's July 2018, Mongolia Economic Update, despite a slowdown in the economy between 2014 and 2016, real GDP grew by 5.1 percent in 2017, supported by the 133 percent growth in coal exports in 2017. The Asian Development Bank, in its Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2018, projects GDP growth of 3.8% for 2018 and 4.3% for 2019, due to large investments in mining and a significant increase in foreign direct investment, which is expected to exceed US$1 billion in 2018 and 2019.
The Government of Mongolia has been making continuous efforts to improve the investment environment and raise the efficiency of foreign investment in Mongolia. In February 2018, JLT's Risk Outlook newsletter concluded, "Mongolia's economy is rallying, following a fiscal and balance of payments crisis in 2016. This is being driven by resurging investment in the country's mining sector, as the current government pursues a business-friendly policy agenda. Sovereign credit risks will continue to recede as government debt levels fall." John A. Versfelt, the Company's President and CEO, noted, "legislative changes and revisions to Mongolia's tax policy in 2017 opened the doors to a three year, $5.5 billion, multi-party financing, led by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in May 2017, and these government led changes have been the catalyst for a flow of mining investment back into the country. We are excited to enter into Mongolia at this time, and we are thrilled to do so in partnership with a management team with decades of experience in Mongolia, a strategic vision to enhance the progress of Mongolian people and a portfolio of projects that have taken over ten years to consolidate."

BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is often known as enlarged prostate. BPH is a non-cancerous condition in which prostate cells grow, enlarging the gland and causing it to squeeze the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder. A variety of symptoms may result, including difficult, frequent, or urgent urination. Enlarged prostate is a very common condition for men to develop as they age. About half of men between the ages of 51 and 60, and up to 80 percent of men over age 80, have BPH.
Dr. Perez follows AUA guidelines in offering four kinds of treatment options for BPH: Watchful Waiting, Medications, In-Office Therapies, and Surgery. He is exceptionally skilled in planning a course of treatment that provides maximum effectiveness with minimum side effects and downtime.
How do I know if I have BPH/enlarged prostate?
The most common sign of a prostate problem is change in your urination, because an enlarged prostate often narrows the urethra. You might experience symptoms such as a weak or intermittent flow of urine, having to urinate more often, finding it difficult to postpone urination, or having to get up at night to urinate.
Are there any long-term risks for BPH?
If left untreated, BPH can cause subsequent medical issues related to damage of the kidneys and bladder. When the bladder does not empty completely, you become at risk for developing urinary tract infections (UTIs). Other serious problems can also develop over time, including bladder stones, blood in the urine (Hematuria), incontinence, or urinary retention. In most men, BPH gets worse as you age. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of BPH, you should talk with your doctor and get the diagnosis and treatment you need.
Are there any minimally-invasive treatment options for BPH/enlarged prostate?
In some cases, medications, such as alpha blockers, are effective at relaxing the prostate gland muscles, or reducing its size, making it easier to urinate. Dr. Perez offers the latest minimally-invasive, office-based procedures that are safe and effective for treating symptoms associated with enlarged prostate. Most people resume normal activities within 24 hours.
Minimally-invasive treatment options include:
- Prostiva Transurethral Needle Ablation of the Prostate (TUNA® Therapy)
- Rezum, water vapor therapy (www.rezum.com)
- UROLift system (www.urolift.com)
What are the latest advances in surgical treatments for BPH?
In more severe cases, the inner part of the prostate gland that is blocking the urethra can be surgically removed, or the urethra can be widened using the latest advances in surgical technology. Our experienced surgeons offer state-of-the-art procedures that are safe and effective, including a minimally invasive procedure called "Bipolar Plasm Vaporization of the Prostate."
Are there any options for patients on anticoagulants?
Yes. Dr. Perez and Nancy Dahl, ARNP, offer GreenLight™ Laser Therapy, a minimally-invasive outpatient procedure for enlarged prostates. It provides immediate relief from lower urinary tract symptoms and is a very safe option for those who cannot undergo traditional surgery because of anticoagulants.
Will the treatment for my BPH interfere with erectile function or ejaculatory function?
Depending on your specific case, many of the treatment options available can effectively preserve erectile and ejaculatory function, and require minimal recovery time. Treatments for BPH are advancing rapidly, and some of the latest less-invasive therapies are being utilized at Urology Specialists of West Florida.
Especially in younger men, ejaculatory function is extremely important. There are many treatments that are better at preserving that function in men such as Rezum, a water vapor treatment therapy and the Urolift System which holds the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way. Both treatment have high success in preserving both erectile and ejaculatory function.
Both Rezum water vapor treatment and Urolift can be performed in the office are minimally-invasive, safe and have great outcomes with erectile and ejaculatory preservation.
What other conditions could be affecting my prostate?
In addition to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the size and functioning of the prostate gland can also be affected by inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis). Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, which can be related to an acute or chronic bacterial infection, or can be an inflammation with no sign of infection. Prostatitis is the most common urologic complaint in young men.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: goodroi
Google Inc. is set to introduce on Wednesday information-sharing software that combines the company's Web-based Google Spreadsheets with Writely, the word processor it acquired in March.
The combination of Writely and Google Spreadsheets seeks to solve the problem of how people manage and collaborate information stuck in different word processors and spreadsheets by giving individuals or groups Web access to the same data.
Google Docs & Spreadsheets, as the hybrid service is now known, marks the latest step by the Web search leader to apply consumer Internet logic to standalone computer programs, a market dominated by rival Microsoft Corp.
Google Docs joins word processor with spreadsheet [today.reuters.co.uk]
Microsoft should be worried. Gor the basic wordprocessing that most consumers need, I can't see any reason to choose Word over Google Documents.
The ability to store all your documents online instead of a computer will probably also make this very popular with students (and the collaboration aspects would be very useful for academic collaborations).
Open Office is just as good as Word/Excel but it is not mainstream and never will be, Office is allover the World in every company - that is a hard nut to crack, having a good product is not enough.
will probably also make this very popular with students
Who, typically, have no money to spend. Which means ad supported. You know, I've always wanted ads next to my documents! They're so helpful.
I can't see any reason to choose Word over Google Documents
You must not travel. The biggest reason I see is called an airplane.
Without the above it wont catch on. People will stick with what they are used to. If they can change to Google docs without having to re-write all their old MS-docs then this will work.
You can do this with Open office :) However I have found these problems switching between MS-word and openoffice-word (which I have to do often) is that some colours don't match, and a table of contents goes weird when switching between the two.
I am saying its the issue of easy switchabiliy that will make or break Google docs. The reason is some of the world will be working in MS while the new-few will be working from Google. If they are incompatible it is less painful to stay with the old (MS), e.g. I use Open Office, but I can't force my clients to use it, they generally use MS-word. In most cases switching between MS and Open is painless so I stay with Open office.
Microsoft should be worried.
Maybe I've read too much Phillip K. Dick but why should I not be worried about megalocorps like Google and MS wanting to host all my wordprocessor and spreadsheet files for free? This stuff is like you're being given the option to run your business out of Hotmail or something.
Digressing, it's pretty cool although I fancied Writely a little better than Google's "ugly-on-purpose" interface. I think this is where MS will be able to win. Non-tech people will not want something as ugly as Google to handle their precious files. I think that although a lot of people trust Craigslist as if ugly = not-for-profit, people still think gradients/buttons (high dollar) = secure.
- Can Google docs be saved on your computer?
- Can you send them to someone who has MS-word?
- Can you upload an MS-word doc to Google docs and continue editing?
Been able to do all that since Writely . . . although Google's still having problems with line spacing and code generation that makes a deal-breaker for me.

Let's see if they get in any trouble like the rest of us would. :)
[edited by: JoaoJose at 5:38 pm (utc) on Oct. 13, 2006]
Personally, I like it. I don't know if MS is in trouble or not, but they're big boys and can take care of themselves. But, as a small business, Google Docs may rock.
Tried the spreadsheet once. It works but I still prefer excel.
Tried writely some time ago too.. but then I use mostly email and notepad so not much need for it.
It'll be a year or two before the features get good enough to make a dent I think.
I'll start using Google Word when I can write a letter with a nice letterhead and click a button to buy a stamp and ship it off via snail mail.
I've been using this since the early days of Writely (mapped to Firefox url shortcut "wr"), and I love it. I still do use Word for complex docs, but for everything else, I'm now preferring Google Docs.
For those who still think that Word being on every PC will stop Documents in its tracks, how come services like Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and Gmail have done so well when there's Outlook Express on every PC? The reason is that people don't want a single machine based email client, they want one that can be accessed from any machine. I'm willing to bet that many of these people feel the same way about their word processing as they do about their email.
--Who, typically, have no money to spend. Which means ad supported. You know, I've always wanted ads next to my documents! They're so helpful.--
But people aren't going to be students forever, and if they get used to the idea that their files are stored online and not tied to a machine, they're no longer going to be interested in Word or Open Office. Then Google will have some high income earners (graduates on average earn substantially more than non-graduates) addicted to one of their services.
You might not want adverts next to your documents, you might not want adverts next to your email, but there's probably a substantial number of people who don't care as long as the service is free.

Vietnamese seek asylum in Aust due to oppression: lawyer
- Created on Saturday, 11 May 2013 05:16
- Written by ABC Radio Australia
An increasing number of Vietnamese refugees are seeking asylum in Australia by boat.
Australia's immigration department says it's trying to work out the reason behind the trend, with some 460 Vietnamese arriving by boat since January.
Meanwhile, the Department has confirmed four Vietnamese asylum seekers being held at Darwin's Airport Lodge escaped on Monday night - about 160 of the 700 detainees at the so-called "alternative place of detention" are Vietnamese.
So what's behind the growth in numbers?
Presenter: Joanna McCarthy
Speaker: Hoi Trinh, lawyer, VOICE

John Sadler
Agent: Kate Hordern
John Sadler is the co-author, with the social historian Rosie Serdiville, of TOMMY AT WAR: 1914-1918 The Soldiers' Own Stories (Robson Press/Biteback May 2013). He is the author of FROM DUNKIRK TO BELSEN: The Soldiers' Own Dramatic Stories (JR Books November 2010).
John Sadler is an accomplished military historian and has written over 20 books. He is a regular contributor to BBC History Magazine, Military Illustrated and the National Trust for Scotland Magazine. He lectures at Sunderland University, the Imperial War Museum and the National Army Museum. John is married with two children and lives in Northumberland.
Praise for TOMMY AT WAR:
"With the centenary of the Great War fast approaching, TOMMY AT WAR is excellent in reminding us all what a varied and nuanced conflict it actually was…the compilers catch Tommy Atkins, as the British soldier is colloquially known, well… This is a good, clearly arranged, well-researched book with informative commentary about men and women who did all they were asked by their country." John Lewis-Stempel in the Sunday Express
"There's nothing quite like the authority of a story told first-hand, and, rich with just such accounts by soldiers who served in the First World War, TOMMY AT WAR has an immediacy that a more typical 'history' would not have… there are handy maps of the Western Front to refer to, a glossary of military acronyms and an extensive bibliography to lead you on to find out more… a rewarding and insightful read… a detailed and dedicated work." Family Tree
"TOMMY AT WAR focuses on the experience of ordinary people, both at the front line and behind, caught up in extraordinary events, making for a vivid and in-depth account of the war to end all wars." Choice Magazine
"This extraordinary book documents the ordeal of the Great War through the eyes of those who lived through it, with aspects of the horror and pain, balanced with stories of camaraderie, adventure, and even exhilaration." Discover Britain
"The genuine voice of the trenches and at times a surprisingly upbeat one: one soldier reports on the advantages of a mustard gas attack – it kills the rats. What shines through is the attempts of these men to hang on to their humanity. Even in victory, they feel for those on the other side. 'Our artillery simply blew the Germans to smithereens', says one." Mail on Sunday World War One Special 4 May
Praise for FROM DUNKIRK TO BELSEN:
"Sadler's poignant book is a must-have for all those interested in military history, but the message of the soldiers' inspirational stories will resonate with readers of all persuasions and every generation." Lancashire Evening Post
