The Gothic Church
Extremely small, this church was founded in 2008 by "Archbishop" Damyan (Akimov), in 2005 it separated from the "True Orthodox Church" under the jurisdiction of "Metropolitan of Moscow and All Russia" Raphael (Prokopiev). In the course of the proclamation of the "Gothic Local Church", "Bishop" Damian acquired for himself the title "Archbishop of Chersonesos Tauric and all Gothia *".
According to the idea of "Bishop" Damyan (Akimov), the religious organization headed by him was the direct successor of the ancient Gothic diocese, which was located on the Crimean peninsula. The penetration of the nomadic tribe of the Goths on the territory of Crimea dates back to the end of the II – beginning of the III century, and the mass Christianization of the Goths dates back to approx. 323, when they were defeated in a military conflict with the emperor of the Roman Empire, Constantine the Great. Soon after, the Gothic diocese was established on this territory, and the first Gothic bishop, Theophilus, took part in the work of the First Ecumenical Council. However, for about a century the cathedral city of the Gothic diocese was located not in the Crimea, but on the continental territory between the Danube, the Dniester and the Black Sea. At the beginning of the 5th century, the residence of the Gothic bishop was moved to the Crimea (in the coastal region of Dori). Despite the fact that the Goths were assimilated around the ninth century, the Gothic diocese of the Patriarchate of Constantinople lasted until the eighteenth century, as long as the name "Gothia" meant the southwestern part of the Crimean peninsula. The ruler of the dynastic house of the principality of Theodoro was named with the title "αυθέντου πόλεως Θεοδώρους και παραtαλασσίας" (ruler (authentic) of the town of Theodoro and Pomorie). Palaeologus or descended from the Armenian family Gavras, which is nowhere mentioned in official sources. The language of the local Christians is believed to be a Germanic dialect, the source of which is a letter from the Austrian diplomat Ogier Gislen de Busbeck, dated 1562 and first published in 1589. The letter contains a list of 96 words and phrases, as and a song in Gothic that the diplomat heard from Crimeans who were in Constantinople.
Interestingly, claiming succession from the ancient Gothic diocese, which throughout its history came under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the modern "Gothic Local Church" declared itself completely independent and autocephalous.
A characteristic feature of her liturgical practice is the performance of a Russian-language "Divine Liturgy according to the Gothic Order", composed by "Archbishop" Damyan (Akimov).
The number of followers of the "Gothic Local Church" does not exceed three dozen people, united in four parish communities.
The church-administrative center of the considered non-canonical religious organization is located in the settlement Biyuk-Yankoy (Marble) of the Simferopol region (Crimea).
At the end of 2011, the church consisted of ten congregations in Ukraine. The central parish was in the village of Ternovka, where there is a temple and a cave temple in the Chelter-Marmara (Shuldan) complex. In January 2012, Bishop Alexy (Kiriarchis) joins the church with his Moscow community. All bishops of the GOC are equal. On January 29, 2013, Metropolitan Damian received the schema with the name David. Schemitropolitan David actively communicates and preaches to representatives of informal cultures, many communities are created from among the Rastamans.
On September 21, 2013, Metropolitan Alexy announced autocephaly of the Kherson Archdiocese and the Sugdean Metropolitanate, leaving the GOC and creating a new ecclesiastical jurisdiction called the "One Holy Cathedral Church of Christ." After the annexation of Crimea to Russia in March 2014, David Akimov was forced to leave the peninsula, and Aleksey Kiriarchis began to take care of the Shuldan temple.

HIV vaccines using adenoviruses as vectors are producing strong immune responses in early studies and showing some evidence of stimulating immune responses across different HIV-1 clades, according to studies presented on Wednesday at the AIDS Vaccine 2006 conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Adenovirus-based vaccines are being developed by Merck and by non-commercial research groups because adenovirus vectors are the most consistently immunogenic viral vectors yet tested, and because they can be manufactured and administered at vastly greater doses than pox virus-based vaccines, according to Professor Larry Corey of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network at the University of Washington in Seattle.
He said: "2006 has been a vintage year for vaccine development."
He pointed to preclinical data from primates suggesting that a T-cell based vaccine given by injection can moderate the massive loss of memory CD4 cells from the gut seen during the first weeks of SIV infection, and the evidence of immunogenicity now being reported from phase II studies of T-cell based vaccines.
T-cell based vaccines seek to stimulate cell-mediated immune responses that can control HIV replication through CD4 and CD8 cell responses. These vaccines may protect against HIV infection or they may protect against disease progression by limiting early viral replication – no one knows which approach will work, and large-scale trials will be needed before their chief advantage becomes clear.
HIV Vaccine Trials Network study 054 tested what dose of adenovirus 5 might be needed in order to produce an immunogenic response, and also tested the safety of different adenovirus doses. Since up to 90% of the adult population may have some level of neutralising antibody to adenoviruses in sub-Saharan Africa, the HIV Vaccine Trials Network wanted to test whether it was necessary, or safe, to use a very high dose of adenovirus (a concentration of 1011 PU).
The vaccine consisted of four different adenovectors expressing HIV subtype B Gag-Pol-Nef and subtypes A, B, and C Env. All participants had an adenovirus 5 neutralising antibody titre below 1.12 and were randomized to a dose of 1010 (n=20) or placebo (n=4). After the first dose proved safe, a further 24 participants were randomised in the same manner to a dose of 1011 or placebo.
The higher dose proved to be much more reactogenic, causing flu-like or injection site reactions in a high proportion of those who received it. Four participants in the high dose arm had severe flu-like reactions within one day of injection, although all conjunctival and upper respiratory tract cultures for adenovirus 5 proved negative. Systemic and injection site reactions were significantly less frequent (p
Eighty-seven per cent of the lower dose group showed positive ELISPOT reactions for any HIV antigen included in the vaccine by day 28, although the proportion who registered reactions to Gag, Pol and at least one Env gene was not reported. A similar proportion (85%) showed immunogenicity in the higher dose arm, leading the investigators to conclude that a dose of 1010 PU should be taken forward.
The Merck replication-defective adenovirus vaccine, now being tested in a large three-year phase IIb study in North and South America and Australia called STEP, combines clade B gag, nef and pol.
Analysis of phase I participants who received the Merck adenovirus-based vaccine presented at the Vaccines 06 meeting showed that around 70% of participants who produced CD8 T-cell responses to HIV-1 subtype B also had T-cell responses to consensus sequences of subtype A and C as measured by ELISPOT interferon-gamma assay, although the proportion of responders to subtype B nef that were responsive to subtypes A or C nef was much lower, at less than 30%.
A number of presenters at the meeting emphasised the need to look for the most highly conserved sequences of the HIV-1 group M, to which all HIV-1 clades belong, in order to identify the antigens that could be targeted by a vaccine. Bette Korber of Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States said that as recombinant viruses spread, it made sense to target the similarities in group M rather than developing vaccines for each different subtype. "There's no way we'll be able to cope otherwise," she said.
She explained that the search for conserved sites and critical differences between viruses needn't be as difficult was once thought.
"In conserved HIV proteins, the positions where substitutions are tolerated usually oscillate between a few common substitutions," she said. "The observed frequencies are the result of a balance between fitness, immune escape and the evolutionary relationships of the strains we sample."
In HIV-1 subtype B for example, her research group has found that within pol, the most highly conserved HIV antigen, only four of 1,004 nucleotide positions within the genome require as many as four amino acid changes, a finding which reduces the number of potential variations that need to be covered by a potential vaccine.
Prof. Andrew McMichael's research group at the University of Oxford is also looking at constructing a vaccine which is immunogenic across subtypes, and reported at the meeting that a construct called HIVCON spanning the most conserved regions of subtypes A, B, C and D has proven highly immunogenic when tested against plasma from healthy volunteers and HIV-positive people.

For Deadly Night players, this is a guide going through all the steps needed to beat the House level, let's check them out.
Step 1: Unlocking Saves
-Find the Alarm Clock somewhere inside the house.
-Find the Rust Remover in the middle of the 2nd floor unfinished room (1st room on the right of the long hallway.)
-Throw the Alarm Clock through the hole on the door in the 2nd floor room with 2 beds.
-Once the door's been opened, collect the key next to the trunk.
-Find the only locked door on the 1st floor and use the Rust Remover on the padlock
-Wait for the rust to dissolve and then use the key on the padlock.
-Inside is a safe room with a save station, a rope, and a crowbar, make sure to grab those and don't save often, you only got 3.
Step 2: Opening the Fridge
-Use the Rust Remover on the valve in the basement.
-Wait for the rust to dissolve and then turn it.
-Use the crowbar to rip off the 3 planks of wood on the wall on the first floor. Inside will be a diary and a gaming console.
-Use the crowbar on the floor in the same room you got the key in, you will then find a video game and a note.
-You can then put the video game into the console to free up space
-By now the fridge in the kitchen on the first floor should be ready to be opened, inside will be a frozen knife.
Step 3: Putting out the Fire
-Use the frozen Knife on the fire in the living room on the first floor, this will unfreeze the knife.
-Use the knife to cut out a piece of cork in the 2nd floor bedroom (last room on the left of that long hallway)
-Use the cork on the 2nd floor bathtub (in the room across the bedroom) to stop the water from draining when you turn it on.
-Go all the way back down into the basement to find the bucket with holes near the stairs, you should be able to pick it up now.
-Take the bucket to the 2nd floor bathtub and fill it with water. Quickly take the bucket to the fireplace before all the water falls out.
-If you have enough water left, you'll be able to put the fire out and grab the wrench.
Step 4: Escaping
-Use the wrench on the 2nd floor sink to loosen the pipe and get the coin.
-Use the coin to unscrew the battery area on the radio on the first floor.
-Make sure to pickup both batteries and then place them in the gaming console.
-You should be able to pick the console up and use it (make sure you are in the safe room)
-Play the game and get the code
-go to the well in the basement and enter the code. code should be 8163
-Once it opens, keep interacting with the well and you should be done.

3 Tips For Better Clinical Trial Representation
A lot is being written and discussed about patient representation in clinical trials. It is obvious that we are not where we need to be as the majority of studies maintain relatively homogenous patient groups. Here's a snapshot of typical study population demographics:
- 83% of research study participants in the U.S. are white
- 5% are African American
- <1% are Latino
The traditional model for clinical trials, where patients visit clinical sites to see physicians and allow the clinical study team to collect data, inherently blocks out large groups of patients. Patients living too far away from study centers, those without the economic means or support systems to make regular visits, and those with conditions that inhibit travel (mobility challenges, immunity challenges, etc.) lack access to study opportunities. Add in highly complex studies and a dearth of proven ways to raise awareness of trials in general, huge groups of patients are locked out of clinical research.
Fortunately, there are now technologies and tools – powered by data-science – that can help. Following are three tips for improving access to studies for more patient communities and increasing study representation.

Online shopping has hit record highs, yet running a successful e-commerce site has become more challenging in recent years. While companies want to make it as easy as possible for customers to buy products from their site, they must also take the proper precautions to ensure security and deter fraudulent transactions.
Unfortunately, adding additional security measures can increase the complexity of the checkout process and drive potential customers away.
To add to the complexity, many site owners offer products that can only be sold to customers over the age of 18. Stiff penalties often result when regulations are not followed. Until recently, it has been difficult to verify an individual's age or identity without requiring customers to submit additional documentation.
A recent development, identity verification technology, has the potential to change the e-commerce landscape, making it easier than ever to verify a customer's identity, without making transactions overly complex for consumers.
Here are 5 reasons you should be looking at identity verification tools for your e-commerce website.
1. Online Fraud is On the Rise
The impending switch from magnetic strip credit cards to chip-based cards in the US is expected to reduce in-person credit card fraud significantly, leaving criminals with fewer options to make use of stolen credit cards. Experts believe that many criminals will take their stolen cards to the internet where, at least for right now, it's easier to use them undetected.
Card-not-present fraud costs have already risen 33% between 2011 and 2013 and continue to rise. By 2018, the research and advisory firm Aite Group expects these losses to reach $6.4 billion, a three-fold increase over the $2.1 billion in losses reported in 2011.
Excerpted from PowerRetail.com
To combat this ongoing threat, it's more important than ever for e-commerce businesses to verify customer identities or face the consequences and costs of chargebacks resulting from fraudulent transactions.
2. Reduce Shipping Errors
Identity verification makes your shipping operation more accurate and efficient. By verifying a customer's shipping address, you eliminate sending orders to the wrong place, which causes unnecessary delays and angry customers.
Using identity verification ensures customers receive packages at the right address, while reducing shipping costs and time spent on customer support inquiries.
3. Make Online Ordering Easier & More Convenient
One of the leading causes of shopping cart abandonment is the complexity of many online shopping cart systems. Customers often need to input information multiple times, increasing the likelihood that they give up or input information incorrectly.
Excerpted from Nextopia.com
Using identity verification technology you can give your customers the opportunity to scan their information directly into the system, paving the way for quicker, more accurate transactions. This saves customers time, increases sales and reduces customer support costs.
4. Make Mobile Transactions Safer
With more and more customers using their smartphones and tablets to make purchases online, it's more important than ever to provide solutions to identify and protect users on the move.
Excerpted from DigitalBuzzBlog.com
Identity verification solutions can eliminate unnecessary typing for mobile users, while accurately identifying each user for secure, trusted mobile transactions.
5. Easily Implement Compliance Requirements
Whether you need to verify the age of your customers or comply with growing state and federal regulations, identity verification is an important step in the process, allowing you to cover your bases, while preventing potential lawsuits.
There are more than a few reasons to consider identity verification technology for your e-commerce website. If you're interested in reducing chargebacks and fraudulent orders, improving the accuracy of your shipping operations, and making mobile transactions more secure, while also making it easier for customers to buy your products, identity verification could be the answer you are looking for.

When a prospect visits your office for the first time, is it your natural tendency to hide under your desk? Boring, bland, plain vanilla, interchangeable with your competitors — is this your firm? If you aren't being yourself on your website or in your marketing materials, then you're engaging in the digital equivalent of hiding under your desk.
Why do advisors engage in such patently self-defeating behavior? Because they're afraid. And it's not rejection that they fear. The marketing materials of most financial advisors, financial planners, wealth advisors and insurance agents suggest that many advisors are more afraid of being themselves than of being rejected.
Advisors can be so afraid of offending the broad swath of prospective clients that they hide behind stock photos, boring clichés and traditional methods of organizing their websites. "About us," "contact us," yawn! Why would anyone contact you if they don't really know you?
So how do you overcome your fear and become the approachable, attractive and, best of all, unique advisor your high-net-worth prospects are seeking? Here's a radical idea: Let them get to know you.
Intimacy ("into me see") means being yourself with other people. It means letting them see what makes you tick. Instead, many advisors downplay what makes them unique, as they boldly strive for blandness.

I recently explained how I captured a series of screenshots and turned them into a movie. While I was working on my tweet about the write-up, I thought an animated GIF of the final movie would be a nice way to show what it was I was trying to do. So that's what I wound up doing:
To create the demo movie on Time Sink's web page, I used a looping Keyboard Maestro macro, ffmpeg, and @ScreenFlow. https://t.co/uGfUkEhFMU pic.twitter.com/iy67d0lPq9
— Rob Griffiths (@rgriff) January 19, 2017
So how did I create the animated GIF from the movie file? I know there are any number of great apps that will do this (ScreenFlow, for one), but I had another thought: While working on the animated screenshot movie (which I created using ffmpeg), I had happened to read about ffmpeg's ability to create high quality animated GIFs, so I thought I'd give that a try.
Thanks to that linked blog post, it turns out to be incredibly easy to turn bits of any video into very high quality animated GIFs. There's a simple script on the blog post that takes just two parameters—the input and output filenames—and generates a nice animated GIF. However, there are a number of settings that I wanted to tweak but are hardcoded in the script.
So I took that script and modified it so I could pass all the major settings on the command line. Using my modified script, I can make an animated GIF out of a bit of any movie with this command:
mkgif 30 640 0:05 10 input.mp4 output.gif
The parameters, in order, are for the frame rate, target pixel width, start time at which to capture (in minutes and seconds), duration to capture from that start time (in seconds), the input movie's filename, and the new animated GIF's filename. Because that's a lot of parameters, I added some really basic help to remind myself of the format; just run the script with no parameters (or any number other than six), and the help will pop up.
Here's the code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 | #!/bin/bash anGIF=`basename "$0"` if [[ $# -ne 6 ]]; then echo "" echo "$anGIF requires six inputs" echo "" echo "Example: $anGIF 30 640 0:03 5 input.mp4 output.gif" echo "" echo " 30 => Frame rate" echo " 640 => Target width in pixels" echo " 0:03 => Start time in min:sec" echo " 5 => Duration from start in sec" echo " input.mp4 => Source movie file" echo " output.gif => Destination animated gif" echo "" exit 0 fi palette="/tmp/palette.png" filters="fps=$1,scale=$2:-1:flags=lanczos" ffmpeg -v warning -ss $3 -t $4 -i $5 -vf "$filters,palettegen" -y $palette ffmpeg -v warning -ss $3 -t $4 -i $5 -i $palette -lavfi "$filters [x]; [x][1:v] paletteuse" -y $6 |
Save this somewhere on your $PATH, and remember to make it executable (chmod 755 scriptname). Name it whatever you like, of course; I used mkgif. It's quite boring in operation; here's how it looked when creating the animated GIF for my tweet:
[Parsed_palettegen_2 @ 0x7f92917007a0] Dupped color: FF050305
[Parsed_palettegen_2 @ 0x7f92917007a0] Dupped color: FF292827
[Parsed_palettegen_2 @ 0x7f92917007a0] Dupped color: FF2A272B
Not exciting, but very effective—the final GIF in my tweet was of very good quality and about 2.5MB in size. I love it when I discover how to do something new in the midst of discovering how to do something new!

The purpose of this lab is to ensure that you are confident with – and have had
a lot of practice at – writing small clear functions that give precise control over
repetitive tasks. The lab is divided into three almost independent sections. Be
careful that you don't ruin the work you did for one section while you are
working on the next.
Section A – Conversions
A1. Remembering how to start
Remind yourself of how to write the most basic repetitive function of all, one that
takes two parameters, A and B, and just prints all the numbers from A to B inclusive.
This will be the starting point for everything this week, so type it in, and make
absolutely sure that you have got it right, and it really works.
A2. Exotic Canada
You could adapt that function to count differently. Make a new version of it that
counts in steps of five, so that if you said "numbers(10, 90);" in main, your
program would print 10 15 20 25 30 … 85 90. Test it, make sure you got it
Now imagine that you are taking a trip to some wild and exotic part of the world
where they use the metric system. Canada perhaps. You'll be driving, and don't want
to get a ticket for going too slow, so you want a conversion table to translate miles per
hour into kilometres per hour. One mile is 1.609344 km.
Adapt your function so that it doesn't just print numbers, but prints mph to kph
conversions instead. Where it used to print X, it should now print X mph is Y kph.
The first few lines of output would look something like this
10 mph is 16 kph.
15 mph is 24 kph.
20 mph is 32 kph.
25 mph is 40 kph.
But there's a complication. You will also be visiting the Mayor of Toronto, and he
likes to measure speed in miles per minute (not grams as you may have thought). So
what you need is a three way conversion like this.
10 mph is 16 kph or 0.17 mpm.
15 mph is 24 kph or 0.25 mpm.
20 mph is 32 kph or 0.33 mpm.
25 mph is 40 kph or 0.42 mpm.
You are probably seeing some ugly output now, with lots of distracting extra
digits. When a program calculates (for example) 10*1.609344, it gets a very
accurate result, 16.093444). Usually, precision is what you want, but in this case it
doesn't help. To throw away all the digits after the decimal point, and reduce the
value to an int, the C++ expression is
Yes, you do need all those brackets, and of course it works for all numbers with
decimal points in them, not just 10*1.609344. It is even better if you round the
result to the nearest int. The trick for that is
(int)(10*1.609344 + 0.5)
which works for all positive values.
But that makes sense only for kilometres per hour. Kilometres are close enough to
miles that we don't want to see any digits after the decimal point. Miles per minute
are another thing altogether. We want exactly two digits after the point. You can
probably work out how to reach that goal.
Section B – ASCII Art
B1. Stars
Go back to your basic counting function from A1, and this time adapt and adopt it in
a different way. Make a function that has one parameter N, which just prints a row of
N stars. That's it, nothing complicated, stars(7) should just print "*******".
Your function in A1 had two parameters, but this time we want a function that has
only one parameter.
B2. Dots
Now make another function almost identical to that, but it should print dots instead of
stars. dots(7) should just print "…….". How are you going to test it? If you
just print spaces, you don't see anything.
B3. Dots and Spaces
Now make another function that takes two parameters A and B, and prints A dots
followed by B stars followed by A dots followed by a new line. dotssstars(3,
4) should just print "…****…". Remember that having functions that use
other functions to do most of their work is a good design technique.
B4. Another adaptation
Thinking about how you controlled repetition so far, write yet another function that
takes two parameters A and B. This one should count down from A to 1, and at the
same time count up from B in steps of 2. That sounds pointlessly complicated, but
one little example will make it clear: sequence(5, 1) should print
5 1
4 3
3 5
2 7
1 9
B5. Combining
Still remembering the idea of little functions using other little functions to do their
jobs, write another function just like sequence, except that it doesn't print the
numbers, it uses them as parameters to dotssstars. This new function will draw
triangles: as an example triangle(5, 1) should print
Not very spectacular I admit, but it's all good practice.
Section C – Circles
C1. A circle
One way to draw an approximate circle is to draw a straight line a short distance, then
turn a small amount to the right. Repeat that so many times that all the turns add up to
360 degrees, and you'll be back at the starting point. If the steps are small enough,
nobody will be able to tell the difference between that and an exact circle. Computer
monitors aren't really very sharp, so the steps don't need to be really really small, just
Do it. Write a function that draws a circle. You should be able to control the size of
the circle by altering its parameters.
This is how you get the most accurate value for pi in C++:
const double pi = acos(-1.0);
C2. Weaponising
Now your circle is going to be the wheel of a cannon.
Given the position of the bottom of the wheel and the
aiming angle (x, y, a), you should be able to make a simple
cannon anywhere, aiming at any angle you want, such as 30
degrees (from vertical, shown to the left) or 75 degrees
If you need some help with to get the shape right, there are some formulas on the next pages.
That's the END of the lab. The rest is just if you need a bit of help with the shape:
This is the cannon sitting on a wheel. The wheel's radius is r.
a is the aiming angle.
L1 is the distance from the back of the cannon to the wheel's axle, L2 is the rest of the
Like all cannons it is wider at the back (w1) than the front (w2).
G is the point on the ground where the wheel rests. Its coordinates are (xg, yg).
C is the exact position of the axle, its coordinates are (xc, yc).
P is the easiest point to start drawing the body of the cannon from, coordinates (xp, yp).
E is the point where the ball pops out when it is fired, coordinates (xe, ye).
This is a simplified picture of the body of the cannon shown with its "bounding box".
The point is to illustrate the difference between the real length of the cannon (len) and
the sum L1+L2.
The angle shown as b is also helpful when drawing the shape. When the cannon is
aimed at angle a, the heading for the bottom line is (a-b). Don't forget that all angles are
computed in radians.
xc = xg
yc = yg – r
b = asin((w1-w2)/2/(L1+L2))
xp = xc – L1 * sin(a-b)
yp = yc + L1 * cos(a-b)
len = (L1+L2) * cos(b)
Finally, to find the point E, we need two extra values:
d is the distance between points P and E
g is the angle from point P to point E if the cannon lies flat as in the third diagram.
d = sqrt(len*len + w1*w1/4)
g = asin(w1/2/d)
xe = xp + d * sin(a-g)
ye = yp – d * cos(a-g)

[Editor's note: See other recent stories in the Albion Monitor for more details abouf Friedland's court victory and history of Guyana "cyanide river" mining disaster.]
Interests in the Amazon, Siberia, Rocky Mountains, Africa, and more |
(IPS) SAN FRANCISCO -- In his search for the proverbial pot of gold, Robert "Toxic Bob" Friedland has followed the end of the rainbow to the heart of the Venezuelan Amazon, the vast native grasslands of Siberia, high up in the Rocky Mountains, and the Atlantic coast of southern Africa, to name just a few places.
Gold speculator extraordinaire Robert Friedland, a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, acquired the nickname "Toxic Bob" in 1969 when he was busted for trying to sell 8,000 "hits" of the hallucinogenic drug LSD to an undercover drug agent in Portland, Maine. But it remains a fitting moniker. Early last month, the U.S. Department of Justice lost a bid to seize $152 million in Friedland's assets in order to pay for the clean-up of cyanide and heavy metal contamination at a mine he financed and developed in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Contamination at the Summitville mine -- stemming from the use of cyanide to extract gold from ore and resulting in the costliest mining disaster ever in this country -- hasn't been Friedland's only encounter with environmental woes. |
By the time dead hogs and fish werre floating down the river, Friedland had quietly vanished |
From Australia
to Zambia, he has done business in a long list of places in the past decade, during which he amassed a personal fortune estimated at $600 million.
His first major international venture began in August 1990, when he bought $2 million in debentures from South American Goldfields with the understanding that the company would use half the money to explore for gold on seven different concessions in Guyana. In January 1993, one month after pulling out of Summitville, his company Golden Star Resources finalized a joint venture with Cambior of Montreal, Canada, to mine for gold near the Omai River, a tributary of the Essequibo River, the main waterway in Guyana. On August 19, 1995, the dam at the holding pond at the Omai gold mine broke, spilling more than three billion liters of cyanide-laced waste into the Omai River over a period of five days. Miners reported dead hogs and fish floating down the Essequibo, but by that time Friedland had quietly vanished. Golden Star Resources officials said he had already sold his shares and had nothing to do with the company any more. Angry local people have joined together to prepare a lawsuit against Cambior in Quebec that is expected to be filed this month. |
After environmental disasters in North and South America, Friedland is moving heavily into Asia |
At about
the same time he was making his investment in Guyana, Friedland was also promoting a company called Venezuelan Goldfields.
But Friedland's plans turned sour before the company could begin digging for gold. Venezuelan environmental groups and politicians publicly condemned his operations in Bolivar, while 5,000 indigenous people mobilized to protest invasions of their land. Friedland wrote off approximately $3 million for his Venezuelan ventures in 1995, saying that there was not enough gold to justify working in the country. Friedland, who earned over $500 million in the recent sale of his stake in a Canadian nickel mine, has now shifted most of his focus to Asia. These venture are managed through myriad companies. His major corporate entity is Ivanhoe Capital, a private company based in Vancouver that he controls. His second most important holding is probably First Dynasty, which started life in August 1994 in Calgary, Alberta, as a shell company with a concession to prospect for gold in Dublin Gulch in the Yukon. First Dynasty moved its offices from Canada to Denver, Colorado, where it still maintains an office before relocating its headquarters in Singapore, shortly after Friedland himself moved to that city. Although Friedland, who now lives in Sydney, Australia, owns only a minority share in First Dynasty, the firm's North American operations are now managed directly by Ivanhoe. With the Yukon mine still under development, First Dynasty has acquired a couple of cash cows to keep the money flowing. Most prominent are the Gunung Pongkor gold mine in the western part of the Indonesian island of Java, which produces 66,000 ounces of gold a year, and the Sembakung oil field in the northeastern part of the Indonesian island of Kalimantan, where 17 wells produce 4,500 barrels of oil a day. First Dynasty also has several other concessions to explore for gold in Java and in Kalimantan, next to the Busang deposit controlled by Bre-X Minerals, the biggest gold find in recent decades. In addition, First Dynasty developing three other major projects in association with other Friedland companies, including a quarter of the Vasilkovskoye Gold Mine in Kazakhstan. Another quarter of the Kazakh mine is owned by Bakyrchik, a London-based company in which Friedland has a 9-percent stake. In Burma, First Dynasty plans to develop the Monywa copper mine through Indochina Goldfields, a San Francisco-based company, which Friedland controls through a 38.2 percent share. Indochina also has six concessions to explore for metals in Burma that total 8400 square kilometers. Finally, First Dynasty has a memorandum of understanding to acquire 90 percent of the Setdco mining company, which has a 500- square-kilometer concession in central New Guinea. The property adjoins the Freeport McMoRan mine, the largest gold mine in the world. Indochina Goldfields has controlling interests in Fiji's Emperor gold mine and the Bong Mieu gold mine in Vietnam, and it has undertaken several unspecified exploration projects in South Korea. These, however, aren't the only ventures associated with Friedland. This year, he has traveled frequently to Siberia, where he is negotiating a deal through yet another company, the Alberta-based Armada, to explore for gold in Chita in the southeastern corner of Siberia. Armada recently merged with Texas-based Nescor to take control of Erdenet, a huge copper project in northern Mongolia. And in Zambia, another Friedland subsidiary, African Minerals, is preparing to bid on the privatization of the Konkolo copper mine. |

We're just a few short weeks away from real live football, and boy is it glorious. The pageantry and tradition of the great game of college football is within reach. Experts and fans alike are clamoring for their team, disavowing others, and arguing online about which teams will be standing at the end. It's what makes the sport so great.
If you're a college football super fan, expert or debater we hope you signed up for SB Nation's new polling project—FanPulse. FanPulse will pull together the insight of college football fans each and every week from all across the country. It will also feature a brand new NCAA football top-25 voted and compiled by you the fans. Want your voice heard? Sign up here!
Today SB Nation released their preseason poll for the upcoming college football season. Defending national champion Clemson took the no. 1 spot on every blog's ballot except Alabama's and...Rutgers' (????). Don't worry, the Crimson Tide came in second with Georgia and Oklahoma rounding out the initial top four.
Our beloved Big Ten made their first appearance as Ohio State and Michigan came in at no. 5 and no. 6 respectively.
Those are all fine and dandy, but here at B5Q we love us some Big Ten West. The division that prides itself on running the football, eating flavored meats and participating in way too much tailgating before an 11 a.m. kickoff. The Big Ten West was well represented, and the Badgers led the charge of the division finishing at no. 17 in the initial poll nationwide. Iowa wasn't far behind at no. 19. Northwestern and Nebraska also claimed a spot coming in at no. 22 and no. 24, respectively.
Us Wisconsin fans, of course, rated our Badgers higher than the national polls did, coming in at 15th. We also showed a little love to our rivals, ranking Iowa 19th, Northwestern 20th and Nebraska 24th.
Iowa fans did much of the same as they ranked the Hawkeyes 14th and dropped the Badgers to 18th. They also showed respect to Northwestern and Nebraska ranking them 21st and 24th overall.
The Axe Stealing Rats of Minnesota, as they are currently known, didn't speak so kindly of Wisconsin (surprise, surprise) ranking the Badgers 22nd. Apparently hogging the greatest trophy in college football for 14 years rubbed the Gophers the wrong way. They also practiced some self-care and ranked themselves 25th. Self-obsessed if you ask me. Minnesota fans also showed love to Iowa at 18th, but couldn't find room for the fourth member of the Quadrangle of Hate, Nebraska, and left them off entirely.
Speaking of Nebraska, the Huskers actually ranked each Big Ten counterpart pretty reasonably, which came as a surprise to me. Most Nebraska fans I know have already penciled in a trip to Indy, so the rationality was welcoming. Husker fans ranked Wisconsin 17th, themselves 19th and Iowa 20th.
Our counterparts out east seemed to agree with the national poll as Maryland fans ranked the Badgers 17th, Michigan slotted UW 15th and Michigan State ranked Wisconsin 18th. Ohio State and Penn State supporters agreed with the national average and put Wisconsin at no. 17 in their respective rankings.
Overall, the Big Ten teams showed their loyalty to the conference despite not liking each other within it. Why? Because we'd rather root for our enemies than give those darn SEC homers any credit! The polls among Big Ten fans all ran along similar lines in the preseason, but it will be interesting to see how that changes as the season goes on. Everyone gets along now, but when games get going that should all change.
Want to be a part of the FanPulse experience now? Good! There's still time to join! Sign up today!

I used to love the Zoom app, but since the most recent update, I cant connect my bluetooth headphones to listen through the app. I know its not the headphones, as they connect to other apps. Its a shame – I pay for Zoom Premium and I'm considering switching to another service if I cant even use the app effectively.
This was working well for me for years. I thought it was so cool to be able to take a call from my car. Recently my car stopped thinking the audio from zoom is a phone call, and it is just coming over the headphone feature. This is really bad because the car stereo has a feature that works like a Tivo so there is a delay on all audio and Zoom can't noise cancel a 10 second delay in sound.
Only one star off for that, I hope a future update will fix. Zoho Meeting – Online Meetings. Zoom for Intune. Zoom Rooms Controller. Video Conference – TeamLink.

Member for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain is calling on the Australian Government to do more to support the Australian snow industry which is on brink of collapse.
The industry has missed two seasons of trade as a result of COVD lockdowns and restrictions. Ms McBain said these two seasons were crucial in helping the region recover from the bushfires that devastated the summer tourism season in 2019/2020.
"I've been working closely with the National Retail Association and Snowsports Industries of Australia and we have serious concerns about the snow industry's ability to bounce back, especially now that Government support is ending," Ms McBain said.
"Government mandated lockdowns and restrictions have had a drastic impact on the snow industry and the wider Snowy Mountains communities, therefore it's incumbent on this government to make sure support continues to flow to businesses who will need to wait at least another six months until they can recoup their losses.
"We've seen the Victorian Government step up to support Alpine businesses in Victoria, but no such support has flowed in NSW.
"The Federal and NSW Governments need to work together and urgently establish a joint grant package targeted to the snow industry, because Eden-Monaro can't afford for this industry to collapse."
Owner of family business Harro's Snowsports Sue Harrison said they are doing their best to adapt to the situation but ask the government to consider the unique challenges of restrictions in the region and uncertainty in the industry.
"The last two seasons have seen a significant drop in trade and we have lost over 50% of revenue during the latest lockdowns," Ms Harrison said.
"Government support payments were not available to us because of the seasonal nature of our industry, forcing us to lay off staff and reduce hours.
"With the state now reopening and ski season having already come to an end, it will not be possible to simply begin trading as normal as we have a long wait to resume trade in mid-May 2022."
National Retail Association Chief Executive Officer Dominique Lamb said losing two winters in a row had taken a huge emotional toll on business owners and employees.
"The snow industry usually contributes $2 billion to Australia's economy but Australia's alpine regions are threatened by around 20,000 job losses if the government fails to provide adequate financial support for the snow industry," Ms Lamb said.
"While other businesses will adjust to being 'COVID normal', snow and alpine-region businesses will need to hold on for at least another six months until their season begins again."
"The financial and emotional toll on business owners and employees has been immense and many are now on the brink of collapse," she continued.
Snowsports Industries of Australia Executive Officer Lloyd Green says not only have they lost the winter season, but off-season trade opportunities were also practically non-existent due to the closure of international borders.
"Our off-peak income is highly reliant on catering for travellers heading on northern hemisphere snow adventures, but there is still a huge question mark over whether international border restrictions will allow these trips to occur," Mr Green said.
"The seasonal nature of our industry and reliance on tourism means we're faced with far more dire implications than other areas of the retail industry."

North Carolina Medicaid – Helpful Links
If you're researching the eligibility rules for Medicaid in North Carolina, here are some helpful links:
North Carolina Medicaid Manual
This online manual contains the policy used by county caseworkers in determining eligibility for Medicaid in North Carolina for the aged, blind, and disabled. Medicaid assists people with the cost of care in rehabilitation centers and skilled care in nursing homes.
Medicaid Application
This printable application can be completed and mailed to county Departments of Social Services in North Carolina to apply for Medicaid. Because eligibility for Medicaid is tied to the amount of assets a person owns and because the timing of an application can be an important factor in eligibility, we highly recommend that you consult an elder law attorney before applying for Medicaid.
Special Assistance Manual
This online manual contains the policy for the Special Assistance program, which covers the cost of care in rest homes and some assisted living facilities. The eligibility rules for Special Assistance are quite different from Medicaid's rules.
If you need help understanding the eligibility rules for Medicaid or Special Assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 919-863-4183 to schedule an office or telephone conference.
Amanda Spence has assisted hundreds of clients with Medicaid applications and appeals in counties throughout North Carolina. If you're thinking of applying for Medicaid or Special Assistance, contact Ms. Spence by telephone at (919) 863-4183 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Hello. I'm very new to libpurple development. And I've tried several days to extend nullclient.c to display all buddies list, I've read finch/libpurple/pidgin source code trying to understand how the same function works there. But still no success. What I've tried to do: purple_set_blist(purple_blist_new()); purple_blist_load(); But it seems it creates only empty PurpleBuddyList I've also initialized PurpleBlistUiOps to setup my (*show) function and then call purple_blist_show() and my function is called, that's true, but PurpleBuddyList *list is empty. I've tried to setup preferences to display offline buddies, but I think it doesn't make any sense, because there is PurplePresence member in PurpleBuddy struct. I've tried to call purple_blist_add_account(account) before call purple_blist_show(), but still no luck. I see there are a lot of function in blist.h which work with PurpleBuddyList, and all kind of *find* functions, but they all work with purplebuddylist which is initialized only in purple_set_blist() function. What am I doing wrong? Whether at all I should to look the answer inside blist.h file, or should I see another file? Really, what I want is the function which populate the newly created buddies list (purple_set_blist(purple_blist_new()); - finch and pidgin, they both have such line), but how this list is populated? I need to complete at least this step, I think when this is done, I can easily continue with other functions. Many thanks.

Thomas Willson's name is entered in directories as a furniture broker and appraiser of 68 Great Queen Street, London, England, between 1821 and 1829. Mary Willson and her son Matthew continued the business from 1830 - 1837. In 1838 Matthew Willson started a separate business operating as a furniture warehouse, furniture works and upholstery business.
The firm was established in 1818 and contrary to popular belief, they were cabinet makers as well as a furniture brokers: 'Thomas Willson %26 Co. Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer, 68 Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.' Every article of furniture for the Drawing, Dining, Bed Room and Library of first-class make.
This important fresh evidence suggests that the firm's name-stamped furniture can be divided into second-hand pieces, which were merely retailed and items made in their own workshop for sale.

Starbucks Sinae Phuket on Koh Sirey Island
Starbucks Sinae is an unusual and unexpected version of the famous Seattle-based coffee shop, perched at the top of Sinae Hotel, on Koh Siray Island. Koh Sirey is an island located east of Phuket Town and connected to Phuket by a bridge so short, it never felt like an island.
The Starbucks is at the top of the hotel, and it takes a buggy to take you up there. In order to ride the pickup truck of the electric buggy, visitors need to park at the feet of the hotel, and then purchase a 150 baht coupon you can exchange for any drink once up there. This is probably to avoid having people going all the way to the top of the hotel just to take photos and leave without ordering (It's private property)
The views from the top of Sinae Phuket are superb, especially on a beautiful day like we were blessed with.
What's interesting is that the rooftop is shared between Starbucks and the hotel, so guests can order from both menus with the same vouchers. Have a coffee, a beer or a cocktail and enjoy the amazing views from the top of Sirey Island.

Parliamentary watchdog, Veritas Zimbabwe, has taken the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to court and its two cases will be heard tomorrow.
In the first case Veritas is seeking to open up voter education which is currently restricted to the commission.
It argues that this restriction is inconsistent with the freedom of expression which is guaranteed under the country's constitution.
In the second case Veritas is seeking the court to decide on the definition of transparency because it is not defined in the country's constitution.
It sets out 20 things that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has to fulfill for the coming elections to be declared transparent.
Veritas argues that if its case succeeds, the general election will be more likely to be judged free, fair and transparent.
Zimbabweans will have greater trust in the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission and Zimbabwe will avoid the Kenyan situation in which the Supreme Court annulled the election as being not transparent as provided for by the Kenyan Constitution.
Although 46 percent of Zimbabweans trusted the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission somewhat to a lot, only 30 percent in the urban areas did so while the majority of those who supported the electoral body, 55 percent, were from rural areas, according to the recent poll by Afrobarometer.

If you were hoping to see any of President Donald Trump ever again on Facebook and Instagram, you're going to be sorely disappointed. The social media platforms removed an interview the former president gave with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

The reason given in an email from a Facebook employee, read in part that "content... in the voice of President Trump is not currently allowed on our platforms" which "includ[es] new posts with President Trump speaking." This so-called "guidance applies to all campaign accounts and Pages, including Team Trump, other campaign messaging vehicles on our platforms, and former surrogates." In other words, it couldn't be more all-encompassing.
Fortunately, the interview from March 30 was available on other platforms.

The former president shared in the 18-minute interview that he's been doing "great" in Florida. In addition, to the media hypocrisy in covering himself versus his successor, Trump also touched upon a sort of buyer's remorse many voters may have, or should, now that President Biden is in office:
I think people get it. You know, very importantly, the things that he said, whether we debated, or he just made statements, all of those things, were not what he's doing. This is more liberal, more radical than Bernie Sanders ever had in mind. Bernie could not be happier. But this is something Bernie would have never suggested, what's happening. He never talked about what he's doing to destroy energy, and the second amendment now is gonna be next. They're gonna destroy the second amendment. All of the things that they're doing are--things raise taxes at a level, the biggest tax increase in history--those were not things that were discussed at all during the election.
There was also a conversation on big tech, including censorship, specifically when Twitter's Jack Dorsey admitted it was "a mistake" to censor reporting from the New York Post on the Hunter Biden story. Trump said the censoring of Hunter Biden during the campaign, "to me that was really the beginning..." in that the public does not have the opportunity to decide for themselves what to believe. He called it "this new phase" where "you have something and they won't put it out... it's a very interesting time."
Trump mentioned his press releases which he called "more elegant" and is "getting the word out." He also raised further questions that he's going to be available once more on a future social media platform, as previously hinted by Jason Miller.
The former president "I think there's room for something, and I bring a lot of people with me, but we'll see," and promised to put "a statement or two out, or three, or five" out. Trump did emphasize, however, that he's happy with those press releases. Noteworthy is how Trump offered "I think social media has become so corrupt, that people aren't believing it anymore... it's become a lot like the media itself. We don't have freedom of the press anymore. We have a corrupt press with a point of view, and all they want to do is sell the point of view." He went on to mention those points of view have to do with defunding the police and border crisis.
The former president reminded viewers of his accomplishments, offering "that's why the base is so strong right now. That's why the base of the country. Our base is so strong, but the base of the country is strong, the foundation is strong, and that's why we can do so well," though he expressed concerns "that's going to erode."
The interview closed with Lara pointing out "people all want to know... do we have hope that there's a possibility to see Donald Trump run again in 2024." Without hesitation, Trump told his daughter-in-law that "you do have hope, that I can tell you, you do have hope." He emphasized, "now we have to help our country."
We miss you, Mr. Trump. Here's hoping for more interviews to come, though it will be no thanks to Facebook and Instagram.
