The lights in Bohannon 90 dimmed down slowly, a flash on the screen and a piano begins to play. The eerie mood was set following the flicker of slides of the black and white film flashing across the screen. "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" was the teaser to UMD Zombie Fest 2012, a two-hour-long symposium that covered everything from zombie neurobiology to the international impact of a zombie outbreak. A brief history of zombies was given, along with an explanation of the two different types of zombies. The first being voodoo or Haitian zombies, the second being what we think of today as a typical "zombie."
"There's a fair amount wrong with zombies," said Janet Fitzakerley, a researcher of auditory neuroscience at UMD. "If you didn't already know."
Fitzakerley used her presentation time to discuss exactly what is in the zombie "food pyramid," and what kinds of nutrition they get from brains. She went through the question meticulously, hitting points of interest in terms of zombies' motor function skills.
"If we could put a zombie in an MRI machine we would be able to tell they could detect pain, but they wouldn't care," Fitzakerley said.
Fitzakerley speculates that zombies maintain most of their sensory functions (vision, smell, hearing, feeling), so that can only mean that zombies burn calories. Roughly speaking, zombies would need to consume about 4,800 calories a day, according to Fitzakerley. Zombies maintain the ability to initiate and execute movement but they can't plan movement.
All six speakers varied in department affiliation, giving the symposium an interesting blend of information. Jeremy Youde, a Political Science professor, discussed the global threat of a zombie pandemic, particularly with regards to the role that international governance would play in response to an outbreak.
"In a lot of ways a zombie outbreak is the greatest international threat," Youde said. "We don't have any institutional way to deal with this on an international scale. I'm willing to bet that zombies don't read maps well. We can't tell them, 'Hey, you can't go there.'"
Youde went on to discuss the potential military implications of a zombie outbreak.
"A zombie outbreak could really be a military opportunity," Youde said. "The military is not the answer, though. We could use nuclear weapons, but then that causes a whole new problem—radioactive zombies."
Shane Courtland a professor of ethical theory and political philosophy at UMD discussed the moral tradeoffs in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
"Look at your neighbor," Courtland said. "They're plotting your death."
Courtland foresees an ethical and moral collapse as a potential reaction to the zombie apocalypse. Courtland explored the connection between self-interest and moral obligation in the survival-based decision-making in a zombie-infested world.
Even as the glimmer of hope for the future of society fizzles out, Courtland discussed how one should handle a victim of a zombie bite; a common trope in many zombie films. Courtland examined the utilitarian view many people take to in a survival situation. Utilitarianism strives to maximize the overall happiness of an individual; basically sacrificing one for the many.
"You're not going to know how to act," Courtland said. "But we will see groups of people acting in a mutually beneficial way."

I'm reading the latest installment of Darynda Jones' Charley Davidson series, which is so much fun. The books are getting better as they go along, which is awesome. My only real complaint is that I started the series when only the first three or four books were out, and I've had to read new installments one at a time instead of all at once (when Charlaine Harris was writing the Sookie Stackhouse books, I reread the whole series every year when the new one came out, which was awesome but no longer feasible with my schedule and my list of "to read" books, which is getting longer all the time). But I digress. Again. I know, if you only had a nickel for every time I do that, you'd have a pile of nickels. Got it.
Back to Seventh Grave and No Body, which has made me laugh out loud on several occasions, including the scene where Charley and her best friend are watching a birthing video on the Internet, which an onlooker mistakes for South American porn. I mean, really, I had no idea that one could discern the various ethnicities of porn to such a degree of granularity. And the little sayings at the top of the chapters always make me chuckle (my favorite for this book is "We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours."). And who wouldn't fall in love with a character who asks people whether they like their coffee the way she likes her Death Stars, "gigantic, on the Dark Side, and powerful"? To quote Darynda Jones some more, "Gawd, I love these characters!"
But now I'm really off the reservation and need to find my way home. Maybe I could get some help from Charley's fiancé, the ultimate bad boys of whom I've written before. He has a map to the gates of Hell permanently tattooed on his arms. Might help. Might not, as I'm drifting even further afield. So, if you could read my emotions now, you would know that I've been very busy amusing myself, but now I'm anxious that I might have annoyed you, dear reader, and that my indulgence could cost me your good opinion of me (assuming you had one to begin with, although if you are taking the time to read my posts, that's probably a good bet--wow, with those kinds of deductive skills, I could be a detective). The issue at hand is whether we would want our significant others to know what we are feeling. Like, all the time. In every situation. When I first read about Charley and Reyes' ability to read each other's emotions I was fairly appalled. I can't imagine wanting my husband to be able to know me that clearly and completely. But then I started to pay a bit more attention at home and to reflect on the idea of what we hide from others and what we think we hide, but really don't.
So, would we want our significant others, our friends and even strangers to be able to read our emotions like that? Again, I think not, in a big way. But, the question at hand is whether we actually fool ourselves into thinking our feelings are so well hidden to begin with. Personally, I've been told I wear my heart on my sleeve so much that I've got a permanent divot on my bicep. Apparently, I shouldn't count on a lucrative career as a professional poker player either. It's been said that when I school my face it resembled preschoolers playing in the sandbox, rather than a well disciplined organ of my iron-fisted control. So, for me, I'm already an open book. Just ask my husband, who seems to know me better than I know myself sometimes (not an inconsequential feat for someone as introspective and contemplative as I am). He often anticipates my thoughts and actions to an almost scary degree of accuracy. And here I was thinking I'd been clever in telling our children not to let Dad know I bought them the really expensive brand of football gloves when he specifically told me to get the cheaper ones. He can always read my pride in thinking myself clever and my guilt in disassembling. And he knows.
But what about those of us who pride ourselves on how close to the vest we play our cards? Those of us who delight in denying our companions and observers any insight into the inner workings of our minds or even an inkling of the true feelings of our hearts? I've written about these people too, as well as my utter delight in cracking the ice that obscures the churning waters beneath click here. How would these paragons of cluelessness feel if everyone knew what they were feeling? I'm thinking "horrified" would be a good descriptive adjective to use here.
Having said that, though, I think the clues are there for those who care to look, even if we can't be 100% accurate about what we are reading off of others. I think that in truth, everyone has "tells" if we know what to look for. A clench of the jaw, a flash of the eyes, movement of the Adam's apple as someone swallows with surprise or some other deep emotion. I think none of us is as inscrutable as we think we are, although some people do elevate obfuscation to high levels.
So, maybe we are more like Charley and Reyes and know what others are feeling than it appeared at first glance. Maybe we just need to pay a bit more attention to becoming aware that there are teeming emotions all around us and respond accordingly, rather than becoming annoyed at the driver in front of us who didn't start as quickly as we'd like or the person in line ahead of us who failed to get her money out of her wallet even though we'd been standing there forever. Because if you pay attention, you might notice that the other is roiling with emotions because they just lost a parent, or a job, or their minds over something that sent them over the edge.
Feeling others' feelings can make us more empathetic people. Blocking, as Charley tries to do briefly and with hurtful consequences, results in making us less empathetic, less connected, less human. And, as often happens for me, it took a book about demons and angels, not to mention ghosts and other supernatural phenomena, to appreciate the reality of my more mundane world and existence.

Although I'm pretty dedicated to vintage watches, being at the age of marriages, child births, and many milestones really makes a compelling case for a new watch to commemorate an occasion and create an heirloom. If you're looking for your first mechanical watch or perhaps your shopping for a gift for a significant other, here are some of my top picks for new watches under $3500 (USD).
Disclaimer: I use the term "best" watches in the title, for well, title purposes. This is certainly not a comprehensive list of options, nor are these watches necessarily better than others not listed. This is simply a roundup of some of my favorites in this category, and an un-endorsed list of options at that.
There are two ways the watches below made this list. Either they're a watch I've considered straying from my vintage ways for or one that comes to mind when I think about what i would buy if buying new. There are a lot of vintage inspired or vintage themed options throughout, but I chose these because they're based off of great design and have already proved to be timeless designs so they should be plenty versatile and satisfying for decades to come.
Longines Heritage 1945
I guess my fondness of vintage comes through pretty strong with this one. The Longines Heritage 1945 was released earlier this year and it absolutely looks the part of a 70 year old watch. I love that this watch is so simple, elegant, clean, and timeless, sure to look great in a casual setting with a suede or more casual side stitch leather strap, or it could be dressed up some and tuck nicely under a cuff with a more refined pair of leather shoes. This will provide all of the charm of a vintage time only watch with a modern case size at 40 mm and an automatic ETA 2895 caliber. I think there is a lot of appeal here to those that appreciate clean and classic design, those that side more with vintage, and those that want a great watch that is very inconspicuous and perhaps a bit understated. At only $1,700 this watch really represents a lot of relative bang for the buck from a major manufacturer.
Nomos Tangente / Metro / Club
Just about anything from Nomos really is a great buy, in my humble opinion. They seem to march to the beat of their own drum with beautiful clean and modern designs and well made in-house movements. The watches are distinctly Bauhaus, minimal, modern, but each typically has a just a touch of funky character to keep it fresh and interesting.
The Metro is the embodiment of this description with the very subtle mix of color, the wire lugs, and super thin bezel making the dial feel very spacious and clean. The hands, the font, the knurled texture of the manual winding crown all meld together to have so much understated character and charm sure to delight the wearer for years to come. The no-date manual wind option starts at $2560 here.
The Tangente presents a slightly more angular approach with it's sharp, angular down turned lugs and slightly dressier, more classic dial layout and colors. Also available with and without date, and in more classically feminine 33 mm size with complimentary dial color options. Starting at just $1900 with a stainless steel case back here.
And the Club is the more casual of the three with it's more sporty and colorful dial options. Starting at a very reasonable $1500 with a 36 mm case and manual wound movement, and going up from there if you want to add a sapphire case back, date window, or automatic movement. I also really like the new Club Campus with the California-esque dial with Arabic and Roman numerals and a case back specifically made with engraving and commemorating a special event in mind.
Tudor Heritage Black Bay
I ever so slightly hesitate to recommend a new Tudor because they are very readily available in new or almost new condition from grey market (not officially authorized retailers) and watch forums, respectively, but if you're looking for a watch to buy, hold, and make your own heirloom from, saving the $500 - $1000 from the dealer and tax, probably doesn't matter in the long run. Regardless, Tudor is putting out some great sport watches in recent years under their Heritage line, celebrating their rich tool and dive watch history with design cues from past models such as the big unprotected crowns and snowflake hands.
The Black Bay features a versatile 41 mm stainless case, in house movement, domed sapphire crystal, and is rated to 200 meters depth, it is a true dive watch. Generally speaking, you're better off buying a watch on bracelet because it's far less expensive to buy it with the bracelet than to buy the bracelet later, and in this case with a throwback rivet style oyster bracelet, you won't regret it. The watch features a lot of the same layout and design characteristics for the original Tudor Submariners and has a great big, unprotected crown with the rose logo. This watch is rugged and versatile to take you from diving to the office for many years to come. On bracelet, it's a touch over the price guide at with an MSRP of $3675, but I trust you can get it in under that.
Admittedly, I hated the Black Bay 36, and now subsequent 41 for being a "dive watch" without a diving bezel when it was introduced. However, how many people, myself included, are actually diving with these watches? And on wrist, the BB36 is more slimmed down, less thick, and more refined than those with the bezels, but with nearly the same water resistance at 150 meters. So, you retain nearly all of the dive watch ruggedness and versatility with something that is going to arguably look more at home in the office and tucked under a shirt cuff. For most of us, that makes a lot of sense. Further, the watch can easily be dressed up or down with various bracelet/strap combos, and it does a great job of feeling vintage or having a lot of the vintage charm, without trying to be vintage. And with an MSRP of $2850 on bracelet, you're getting a really great watch that should last a lifetime both functionally and in form.
Like Longines, Oris is another company with a really strong and attractive vintage inspired line at a very nice price point. The Divers Sixty-Five is the epitome of this with great vintage inspired looks in a variety of dial colors and configurations with an MSRP of 2050CHF or roughly $2100 and some change USD. The watch is a functional diver, rated to 100m water resistance with functional bezel, and available on a great looking Tropic type rubber strap or oyster type bracelet. There are a number of great dial color options as well as all lume indices or the addition of 12-3-6-9 Arabic numerals in a great lumed art-deco font. These are a great buy for a really cool and fun watch that should be able to provide years of reliable use. An alternative to the Black Bay 36 listed above, this watch looks and feels vintage, while trying to do so. Neither are right or wrong, and I think both do this respectively well, but between the two, there's something for everyone.
Hamilton's catalog is big... dauntingly so. And, they really have a lot of really great options from Pilot's watches, to dress watches, field watches, diver's, and vintage dress pieces, if you're sensing a theme that I'm recommending tried and true, solid buys here, you're following along nicely. What makes the Intramatic 68 special is just how well it recreates the same look as the original from nearly 50 years ago. At just a little bit bigger (42 mm), it is definitely beefed up to modern standards, but all of the details are well executed, and finding an automatic chronograph that looks this good at this price point is pretty tough otherwise. Limited to 1968 pieces at $2195 MSRP, this is a true racer's chronograph that really nails the vintage inverse panda look. I know I'm featuring a lot of vintage inspired pieces, but what I particularly appreciate about this one is that although the design is a clear recreation/re-imagination of the original, I feel like it could have been introduced for the first time this year, and it would still look great; I guess a great classic design is just that no matter when it was released.
This really only brushes the surface, and I could go on with dozens more options, but one thing that I really like about all of the brands and watches I included is that they all have other versions, variations, and other offerings that also could have easily made the list. So, hopefully if you didn't find anything directly, you were able to get turned on to another option. As always, if you have any feedback, questions, or comments, please feel free to leave them below or contact me, and thanks for reading.

So Nero's back in a surprise showing at Microsoft's E3 conference that marks the return of Devil May Cry canon series, the main one, after a decade. We have gathered everything you need to know about your favorite hack n slash/demon-hunting title.
A New Look for Nero and Devil May Cry 5
One thing that is evident from the trailer shown at the conference is how the visuals have received a complete overhaul from the last entry or spin-off, DmC. The environments look much more detailed and grim in comparison and everything feels a tad more realistic.
Of course, this was the very intention of the game's director, Hideaki Itsuno as he points out in a brief interview at Inside Xbox:
"… my boss came to me and said that in order to keep it (the game) relevant for today, we'll need to make something that you can take one glance at and know that it's quality. So we chose to make a game with a photo-realistic graphics style"
The director also noted how animations were also reworked so to keep every smooth and fluid and prevent the game from falling in 'uncanny valley'. The brilliant visuals and inventive gameplay aren't so surprising seeing as how it runs on the same engine as Resident Evil 7 (RE engine).
Setting and Plot Details
According to the director, Devil May Cry 5 takes place years after the events of Devil May Cry 4 and is a direct sequel. There is a novel that will connect the two games and tell us what happened in between.
The director gives a brief insight into this novel by saying that Dante has granted his neon devil may cry sign to Nero and it is now up to him to save the world.
Nero has now set up a mobile demon-hunting agency along with a friend to track down and hunt all demons around the city. The female friend, Nico is the daughter of the legendary gunsmith, Nell Goldstein. She, just like her father, is amazing at crafting weapons and that robotic arm is one of her inventions.
The story will take place in Red Grave City where the demon onslaught is started with the introduction of a giant monster tree that exists to suck the innocent beings' blood.
What's New in Combat?
If there is a thing that stands out throughout the trailer for the game, it is the new robotic arm of Nero. In the trailer, we can see him execute some cool moves and also use it as something to ride or fly on.
Moreover, watching the trailer closely, we can see the arm working as a hook to drawn enemies near. This makes the combat more aggressive and makes for combo opportunities.
The director describes this cyborg arm, called Devil Breaker, as a powerful weapon that will make the combat feel fresh and more exciting than ever. Apart from that, he has his same old Red Queen sword and the badass Blue Rose Shotgun to bring hell to the demons.
According to reports, the game will maintain a steady frame rate of 60 fps that means the combat is as fluid as possible. The game is also said to have three playable characters and Dante is set to make a return (both the box-art and the teaser hint towards it).
Devil May Cry 5 will launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in Spring 2019 and will be published by Capcom, the studio known for the long-running Devil May Cry franchise and Resident Evil series.

Fairer Funding for Cornwall's Schools
Cornwall's schools have for a long time been underfunded compared to the national average. It makes no sense, and it is simply unfair on our schools and young people. This per-pupil shortfall is £154 less than the national average.
The current school funding system is unfair, and out-of-date. These proposals will address some of the imbalances Cornwall faces in its funding.
However, I welcome the news that the Government has announced £350m worth of extra (national) funding. This extra funding is to try and address the imbalances to the per-pupil funding. This is only currently a proposal and is currently being consulted upon. If the proposals do become reality, this extra funding will be for the 2015/16 period.
For schools in Cornwall, and if these proposals come into force, we will see a rise to the per-pupil funding of £54. This equates to an extra £3.5m. An increase of 1.2% on previous years. However it is still £100 short of the national average.
Currently Cornwall receives £4,397 per-pupil. Hopefully from 2015/16 this will rise to 4,451. Plymouth and Devon also see a rise. For Plymouth the amount goes from £4,364 to £4,380 – an extra 500k (0.5% rise). Devon will see a rise from £4,156 to £4,345 – an extra £16.2m (4.5% rise).
It is just a pity the proposed changes do not include Early Years and Special Needs funding. Which the funding formula also needs to be addressed
Though let's celebrate the positives, and say at least it's increased funding, that will benefit our schools in Cornwall. As only 62 out of the 153 LA's got this extra funding.
Though just how far 'fair funding' goes is apparent when you look at the per-pupil funding for Westminster. They will see a uplift of £199 per-pupil, considering they are already £1,112 about the national average!

Otis Increases Kilgore Indicated Gold Resource by 59% 825,000 Indicated and 136,000 Inferred Gold Ounces/
Vancouver, B.C. - August 14, 2018 - Otis Gold Corp.("Otis" or the "Company") (TSX-V:OOO) (OTC: OGLDF) is pleased to announce an updated independent mineral resource estimate at its 100% owned Kilgore Project ("Kilgore") located in Clark County, Idaho.

The Classified Mineral Resource estimate is quoted at a cut-off grade of 0.21 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and comprises:
· An Indicated resource of 825,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.58 g/t Au in 44.6 million tonnes

o An Indicated Resource of 825,000 oz Au in 44.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.58 g/t Au, which represents an increase of 59% in the number of Indicated ounces compared with the 2012 Resource Estimate
o An Inferred Resource of 136,000 oz Au in 9.4 million tonnes at a grade of 0.45 g/t Au (reduction from 2012 Inferred ounces due to conversion to Indicated category)
· Deposit is robust in respect of sensitivity to lower gold prices down to $1,100 per ounce gold (see Tables 2 & 3 below)
· Mineral resource estimate is supported by 323 drill holes totaling 68,814 metres with an increased proportion of core holes contributing to the resource
· Otis has utilized modern 3D geologic modeling to constrain the resource using both lithology and structure, which will be used as both an exploration planning tool and for engineering activities
· At a $1,300 gold price, and using a cut-off of 0.21 grams per tonne, 31% of the indicated ounces are contained within the Aspen Formation at an average grade of 0.69 grams per tonne. The increase in ounces contained comes from diamond core drilling across the Tertiary Volcanic – Cretaceous Aspen Formation contact
· Comparable gold grade, cut-off and strip ratios to competing Great Basin gold deposits in Nevada
· The next round of planned drilling will target near-surface resource expansion via step-outs to the north, west and south of the deposit
· Approval of a new 5-year Plan of Operations is expected in August from the United States Forest Service which will enable step-out drilling at the Deposit that was not allowed under the previous permit.
· This new permit will also provide significant flexibility to begin the process of drill-testing additional emerging targets at Kilgore. The majority of the property remains largely untested from a drill perspective, including approximately 5km of strike along the main controlling fault
· Increased diamond core drilling over historic rotary and reverse circulation drilling will continue to better enable Otis geologists to evaluate alteration mineralogy, lithology and general structure; core drilling also provides needed geotechnical information for future mine planning

Table 3: Otis Gold – Inferred Resource Estimate Matrix – Gold Price vs. Grade
Otis Vice President of Exploration, Alan Roberts, states, "The increase in the resource is an encouraging step in the ongoing exploration at Kilgore since this has been achieved without aggressive step-out drilling. This estimated resource is contained within a single near surface pit with a corresponding low strip ratio. I believe that there is more gold to be found; the upcoming drill program offers the possibility of adding new resources adjacent to the existing Kilgore Deposit. Our 2018 drill program will commence after permits have been received and will first focus on step-out drilling around the Deposit. In addition to the proposed drill program, an extensive project-wide surface mapping and geochemical sampling program is underway; this is part of ongoing exploration with the goal of identifying new Kilgore-style deposits associated with the Kilgore Caldera margin."
The geologic model and mineral resource estimate for Kilgore was completed by David Rowe, CPG, of Rowearth LLC, an independent Qualified Person as defined by the National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects("NI 43-101") in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, as the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by CIM Council, as amended. The geologic model was developed using Leapfrog Geo 4.3 in collaboration with Otis geologists and consists of a gold shell that is sub-divided into resource estimation domains based on structurally controlled models for lithology and alteration. 12,144 ten-foot composite samples were produced from 323 drill holes that are contained within five modelled domains. The block model estimation was produced with Leapfrog Edge and block gold grades were estimated from the composite samples by ordinary kriging into a block model with 20 ft x 20 ft x 10 ft parent blocks. Specific gravity (SG) from 671 core samples was developed for the block model using inverse distance cubed (ID3) estimation method. The mineral resource was classified based on drill hole data and confidence in the geologic model. Indicated Mineral Resource blocks are estimated by at least 6 samples captured within a 130 x 130 x 100 ft search range and require a minimum of 2 drill holes and samples captured within at least 3 search octants. All estimated blocks not assigned to the Indicated class within the gold shell are assigned to the Inferred Mineral Resource.
Global Resource Engineering, Ltd of Denver, Colorado constructed the open pit scenarios with reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction established from block models using Vulcan's Lerchs Grosman miner "Pit Optimizer" software. A total of 21 pits were modelled based upon the imported block models. Sensitivities were run at a gold price varying from $1,500 to $500 per ounce gold price and gold cut-off grades varying from 0.000 ounces per ton (opt), or zero cut-off, to 0.020 ounces per ton cut-off; increments included 0.004 opt, 0.006 opt, 0.008 opt, 0.010 opt, and 0.015 opt. Tables 2 and 3 show a selection of cut-off values that are considered optimum for the Kilgore Project. Fixed input parameters included: gold recovery of 80%, selling cost for gold of $2.20 per ounce, a mining cost of $2.00 per ton, a processing cost of $4.00 per ton including $1.00 per ton G&A, and a pit slope of 50 degrees.
All drilling samples were sent to ALS Minerals in Reno, Nevada where they were analyzed by Fire Assay using a 50g charge with AAS finish to determine gold values. Over-limit assays greater than 10 grams per ton were analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Selected drill samples were also analyzed for an additional 33 elements by 4-acid digestion (HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach) and ICP-AES analysis. ALS geochemical laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures, and ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for process and quality management systems. QA/QC procedures included the insertion of blank samples, gold standards, and duplicate samples into the sample stream. A check assay program was included as part of the overall QA/QC protocol.
Alan Roberts, MSc, CPG, and Vice President of Exploration, serves as the Qualified Person for this news release and has reviewed and approved the technical content contained herein. An NI 43-101 technical report will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days of the date of this news release.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are that part of the mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence and sampling, which is sufficient to imply but not verify grade or quality continuity. Inferred mineral resources may not be converted to mineral reserves. It is reasonably expected, though not guaranteed, that the majority of Inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to Indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. The mineral resources reported in this news release were estimated using current Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") standards, definitions and guidelines.
About the Kilgore Project
The Kilgore Project lies on the north-eastern margin of the Miocene-Pliocene Kilgore Caldera complex in the Eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho. The Kilgore Project contains the Kilgore Deposit with a current NI 43-101 compliant resource: Indicated Resource of 825,000 ounces Au in 44.6 million tonnes at a grade of 0.58 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 136,000 ounces Au in 9.4 million tonnes at a grade of 0.45 g/t Au (the "Deposit"). The Kilgore Deposit is a low-sulphidation, gold bearing, quartz-adularia epithermal system hosted in Tertiary volcanic rocks, local Tertiary intrusive rocks, and basement Late Cretaceous, Aspen Formation sedimentary rocks.

I don't know about you, but for me I just love creative workshops and learning something new! When I saw that the super talented Mo, from Knall Braun, was heading to Osnabrück for a workshop, I knew that I needed to take part in this day. I totally admire her unique and detailed style.
We began the workshop learning about the process and reviewed examples from a very simple design, to very detailed designs made up by multiple layers. I thought to myself, how am I going to carve something like that! I instantly knew what I wanting to print: The Egino script logo. I have been wanting a branded piece of art for my new office, so why not create something myself!
I am glad that the workshop was 5 hours, because even a simple design (like mine) needed quite a bit of time to carve and create! I even had to stretch my neck a few times. When it came time to print, after applying the special ink to our creations, we got to crank the wheel to apply pressure to print our paper. This was my favorite part of the day! Each time comes out looking unique and different from the last!
I really enjoyed seeing the designs from the other workshop attendees.
Some of them looked so professional - a room full of artists!
It was a great day and would love to attend another Knall Braun Workshop! Thanks to Katrin, from Made in Osnabrück, for being a wonderful hostess in her awesome studio space.

TV Shows 📺 Turning 20 😱 in 2018 🗓 ...
I'm back with some great TV shows turning 20 in 2018. Previously, I have posted articles about movies and television shows that are turning 10 or 20 this year. I am sure this has created some nostalgia for some or most of you. This post will be showcasing television shows that will be turning 20 as they first started out in 1998. A few shows are surprisingly still going. Before reading on, mentally prepare yourself for the experience of feeling old or ancient. I certainly did when writing this piece. Anyway, enjoy your journey down memory lane with these TV shows turning 20 in 2018.
1. Will & Grace (1998- )
This long going show technically ended back in 2006 but was brought back in the fall of 2017. It's one of the best TV shows turning 20 in 2018.

What ARE you waiting for?
Wow! The real estate Market is really heating up and it is reflected in the fluctuation mortgage rates! Did you see rates dipped below 6% AGAIN yesterday!!! Yeah, they bumped back up to 6% by days end, but this is a FABULOUS time to be buying a home - or even an investment property. AND are you aware you can buy a brand NEW home in Baton Rouge for around $150,000?!!!! Check out my Listings at http://www.patwattamteam.com/properties.asp?navpage=3& for several homes in different areas in the $150's!!
Think you can't get a home loan??? Think again! Money IS Available. We are seeing people use FHA Loans again since they are more flexible with debt to income ratios, credit scores, and down payment. We still have bond money with 4% assistance for closing costs or downpayment. If you have a high enough credit score, you can still obtain a 100% loan! Some things you need to know:
1. YOu need to have stable employment of at least two years, with sufficient income to cover the monthly mortgage payment and living expenses, adequate savings to make your downpayment, and a FICO credit score of at least 620 (the higher the better but this is a good place to start to see what you qualify for0.
2. Many mortgage products are available to suit all types of buyers and not every lender offers the same programs or has the same investors. It really pays to shop your mortgage before you look for housing. Get fully credit approved and then you will be a stronger buyer when presenting an offer. If one lender turns you down, check out another. We will gladly refer you to several lenders who can be of assistance.
3. Affordability has improved! During the Katrina years it was difficult to find good housing under $150,000. Now we have a nice supply. Call me today and we'll get you started. Whether you want to show East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Ascension, or Livingston, we'll help you find the right property!!

You know, I love blogging! I love blogging not only because it allows me to share the things that I believe in. Not because I can roam the Internet to read and learn from what other people believe in. No, what I love most about blogging is that it allows me to interact with those people who are willing to interact with me.
That is so important, and yet the comments on some my previous posts revealed to me that not everybody believed in the importance of that interaction. Some said that it was impossible to do, that there just wasn't enough time and that I was being unrealistic. Well you know, even though every fibre in my body was screaming BULLSHIT, I tried to be very diplomatic about it all and my comments, as they usually are because that's the type of person I am, were very reserved.
Well, one of the comments left on this post by Scott Web showed me that there are actually some big boys who believed as I do. He mentioned a name I've never heard of before, Gary Vaynerchuk, and his comment led me to believe that Gary and I were on the same page on certain things.
I had to find out whether or not this was an accurate assumption, and so I Googled his name and I came to his blog and I discovered the guy knew exactly what I was on about.
I highly recommend that you watch the following video, from beginning to end. It's a long video, and Gary drops the F bomb, as well as other expletives, on more than one occasion, but it is an inspiring as well an instructive video. I assure you that it will change the way you tackle your business, your blog and life in general.
I know that after watching this video it strengthened my resolve to continue on pushing the importance of interacting with my readers. I've also added his blog to my list of blogs to follow. You will find it on my blogroll shortly.
I'm also very interested to learn more the man and his beliefs and I figure my best chance of doing this is to purchase his book Crush It.

I'd been looking to purchase a 512Mb SD card for a while and the thread Preferred SD Card got my interest
QUOTE(TonyOlsen @ Jun 17 2004, 01:24 AM)
I found a few Toshiba 512 MB SD cards selling for around $90 ( http://www.pricewatch.com/1/226/5642-1.htm ).
QUOTE(zxerx @ Jun 24 2004, 03:41 PM)
I think I'm gonna buy one......
I got the card yesterday.
I have to eat my words from an earlier post because this thing is made in Taiwan, not Japan. In any case, I was keen to see how it would perform against my 10Mb/sec Hagiwara SD card, so I ran a few rudimentary tests. I also ran the tests on my 40x PQI 256Mb CF card to see how it compared. All the tests were done in my SL-C760.
First thing I did was to use fdisk to set up the partition table (one linux partition) and created an ext2 filesystem on both SD cards. I left the CF card with it's FAT filesytem. All cards were mounted with the noatime option on.
Then I simply used dd to dump 225Mb of zero data onto each card and used the time command to see how long it took:
time dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros bs=1024 count=230400; time sync
I ran this command three times consecutively for each card and averaged the results (I also added the sync time, but in all cases it was only around 0.2 seconds)
Toshiba 512Mb SD => 3m47.244s => 7.922 Mbits/sec => 1014.1 KBytes/sec
Hagiwara 256Mb SD => 3m00.064s => 10.037 Mbits/sec => 1284.8 KBytes/sec
PQI 256Mb CF => 1m40.700s => 17.876 Mbits/sec => 2288.1 KBytes/sec
I was surprised to see that the Hagiwara did actually write data at 10Mbits/sec, and was very surprised to see that the CF card was almost twice as fast again! The Toshiba card definitely writes data slower, though considering I paid less for this 512Mb card than I did for the 256Mb card, I really can't complain.
Now that I had some numbers for write speed, I was keen to find out how fast data could be read from each card. I did a quick google and turned up a program called Bonnie which is nice and simple and compiled for arm with no fuss. The results from Bonnie are:
---Sequential Output (nosync)--- ---Sequential Input-- --Rnd Seek-
-Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --04k (03)-
Card MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU
Toshiba SD 225 783 37.8 1013 16.7 606 92.3 1062 79.1 1653 83.2 31.5 95.7
Hagiwara SD 225 975 44.9 1283 25.1 711 78.8 1047 80.0 1621 83.2 45.3 93.4
Unfortunately this board doesn't used a fixed width font for the code tags so the output is a bit messy, but there are a few interesting things to note.
Here's a couple of links to a pre-compiled version of Bonnie:
bonnie.gz - just the program(8kb)
bonnie.txt - the man page (1kb)
README (2kb)
If you do run the tests (it only takes about 5 minutes), try to use the largest file size you can (ie: bonnie -s 225 peformed the tests using a 225 Mb file). And, if you report your results, please include:

Where are the file associations to particular applications kept on a Cxx0 zaurus (Sharp or Cacko)? For example, on my z, pdf files are associated with Opera, and I would like to change that so they are opened with qpdf.
17 Apr 2004
I have the source code to a program that currently runs under Qtopia. I wish to run this software under X11.
What's involved? Is it a trivial conversion, or will I have to learn the whole Qt API?
BTW: The program is FreeNoteQT and the source is at http://www.urban.ne.jp/home/kanemori/zauru...freenote_e.html
Essentially, I just want to run this software on pdaXrom.
14 Apr 2004
Admittedly, I've only been playing with pdaXrom for less than a week, but I'm already convinced this the the rom for me. There are a couple of thing bugging me though, and one is the way the ipk files on the pdaXrom feed are packaged up.
I'm assuming the developers of pdaXrom are lurking so first let me say this is the most brilliant advance in "*nix in a pocket" I could have ever imagined even less than a year ago.
My concern is that we are dealing with a hardware platform with specific flash memory limitations. I chose a root partition of 50Mb as advised in the install instructions, and it took me about 8 minutes before I ran out of room when installing packages.
So, what I'm suggesting is that all packages that are deemed "essential" be installed in flash to /usr, while all "extra" packages be installed to /usr/local which can reside on a CF or SD/MMF card. Someone with a lot more knowledge than me will have to decide what qualifies as "essential" or "extra".
And then there are library dependencies... one simple example is the gqview package which includes libpng.so.3 - this should really be in its own package of course.
I'm sure the pdaXrom team are well aware of the issues involved, but I thought I'd vent my opinion anyway.
12 Apr 2004
I've been reading up on how to set up keymapping at:
which has mostly been extremely helpful.
My xmodmap file is set up exactly how I want it except for one thing - CAPSLOCK. I can't get it working. I've tried:
keycode 73 = Tab Tab Caps_Lock Caps_Lock
add lock = Caps_Lock
but this only works while the Caps key is being held down. Any pointers?
Also, does anyone know where to set up the global xmodmap file? I linked to /etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap but this didn't work, and I've resorted to calling xmodmap from my .xinitrc script.
Secondly, I've been reading about how you've all been setting up 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons using keyboard modifiers (esp. Foxdie), but no-one has mentioned exactly how they've achieved this. There is some vauge mention about a config file "xkmc", and Foxdie even has an example at http://foxdie.timduru.org/zaurus/x11_stuff/xkmc However, there is no such file in my distribution of pdaXrom 1.0.5.
How do I set up a keyboard modifier to activate the 2nd and third mouse buttons???

This recipe received great compliments from family and co-workers. Everyone wants the recipe. Excellent!
Made this for my sister who is in the Air Force stationed in South Korea. Her and all the troops that had a chance to try it LOVED IT!!! They are already requesting I send more. Excellent recipe...
I pressed the crust into the pan using a square pan and baked for 10 minutes. Then added the rest of ingredients and baked as directed. Excellent results.
I made these for a Halloween party and they were a hit! The only issue I had was that they were very soft so they fell apart easily. Otherwise, very tasty!
These were really good. I made them for my husband's club meeting and everyone loved them. I didn't change anything for the first batch, very unusual for me! Next time I would add a few more app...
Delicious and easy! I didn't have premade caramel sauce, so I used the "Oh-So-Easy Caramel Sauce" recipe from this site in its place. I also added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the crumbles.
I brought these to a party, and they were very popular! I overheard people telling others to go try them because they were so good. However, they aren't really "bars" because they fell apart, wh...

text: Collin Whitehouse October 2, 2018 NLC examines The China Dream for its new series Collin Whitehouse October 2, 2018 By Cecilia NasmithThe China Dream is the theme for the autumn 2018 Northumberland Learning Connection program, which runs from Oct. 25 through Nov. 25.The China Dream refers to the country's four-part plan – a country that is strong, civilized, harmonious and beautiful. The challenge is to create this new reality based on ancient values of respect for culture, family and nature while harnessing technology. The question must also arise whether there is a role for the manipulation of patriotism and the power of an authoritarian state.The season's presentation is a three-part offering – a series of Thursday talks at the Columbus Community Centre in Cobourg from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., a series of Friday discussions at the Port Hope Public Library from 9 to 11 a.m., and a series of special events in other venues.Talks kick off with the Oct. 25 presentation Xi Jinping and His Party. Juan Wang of McGill University will discuss the rise of President Xi (considered by many the new emperor of China). His father was a close advisor of Mao Zedong, though he was subsequently purged from leadership. The speaker will talk about his rise and his agenda for the Communist Party and for China.A Not-So-Delicate Balance is the Nov. 1 program. Guy Saint-Jacques, Canada's ambassador to China from 2012 through 2016, discusses the new China and its implications for Canada. Under Xi, China has developed unrivalled international trade opportunities, become the world's banker and emerged as a cyber-security leader. Some western nations are becoming uncomfortable, however, with China's domestic realities that include electronic surveillance and labour-standards and human-rights violations.Money, Morality and China's New Rich is the Nov. 8 program. John Osburg of the University of Rochester will examine the social, moral and spiritual impacts of the largest economic boom in human history, with China having gone from being one of the most equal societies in the world to one of the most unequal in just two decades.What Are Human Rights in China is the Nov. 15 program. Sida Liu of the University of Toronto traces the history of human rights in China from 1949 and how this concept is interpreted by China's party-state – and contestd by activists and the general public in everyday struggles.The Big Picture - Contemporary Chinese Art and Its Dissidents is a look by Yi Gu of the University of Toronto at the many stages and faces of contemporary Chinese art, which changed greatly from its inception in the 1980s and continues to evolve in unexpected directions (at a time when Chinese artists are seen as either defiant activists or opportunists catering to market demands).The series of discussions begins Oct. 26 with Migrant Workers and Minorities. Wang discusses the government's dilemma in managing two population groups – the 250-million domestic migrant workers who have moved into cities from rural areas and the 100-million ethnic minorities.

When the players of an excellent student orchestra want to pay special tribute to an inspiring conductor at the end of a concert, they stomp and shuffle their feet during ovations. On Thursday night at Carnegie Hall it was not a bunch of exuberant students but the veteran players of the great Philadelphia Orchestra who stomped their feet for Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the 37-year-old Canadian conductor now in his first season as the orchestra's music director.
And no wonder. The concert, following Mr. Nézet-Séguin's acclaimed Carnegie debut with the orchestra in October, was phenomenal. The ensemble, famous for its glowing strings and homogeneous richness, has never sounded better.
Mr. Nézet-Séguin chose works Ravel, Szymanowski and Shostakovich wrote between 1919 and 1937 that show them grappling with issues of modernism during tumultuous musical times. He began with Ravel's dazzling "La Valse," though he actually had to begin twice. Just as the lower strings, following Mr. Nézet-Séguin's cue, were about to play the murky stirrings that open the piece, a cellphone emitted an unusual ring tone: it was the sound of a violin playing. Mr. Nézet-Séguin stopped the performance. After a pause and some laughter, he began again. But really, had he stormed off the stage, who could have blamed him?
Ravel, who conceived of this piece as the "apotheosis of the Viennese waltz," described the opening as "eddying clouds" that allow glimpses of waltzing couples until the clouds disperse. In this performance Mr. Nézet-Séguin drew out the music's primordial qualities, as if the clouds were parting to reveal not waltzing couples but primitive dancers who had wandered in from "The Rite of Spring." Ravel offers a radical deconstruction of the waltz, and sinister things keep happening in the background. The performance vividly captured both the score's glittering splendor and its strangeness.
In recent years the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski has been increasingly championed by major artists, including the brilliant Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos, who was the soloist here in the Violin Concerto No. 2, written in 1933. Like other Szymanowski scores, this 20-minute work, played without break, draws from disparate musical currents: French Impressionism, Stravinskian modernism, the mysticism of Scriabin. There are traces of Polish folk music but also hints of Eastern exotica.
Mr. Kavakos, playing with an entrancing combination of sweet sound and dark intensity, captured both the autumnal warmth and the restless energy of this deeply personal concerto.
After intermission Mr. Nézet-Séguin turned to Shostakovich's popular Fifth Symphony. This bold and ambiguous work almost screams "major statement." A conductor had better have something to say about it. He did.
In the first movement Shostakovich channels mournful feelings into a Neo-Classical structure. But Mr. Nézet-Séguin drew such intensity from the music that it seemed almost expressionistic. The scherzo came across like a heavy-booted and menacing dance. He tapped into the anguish of the funereal Largo, yet the Philadelphia strings brought grave beauty to its stretches of choralelike harmony.
In the finale Mr. Nézet-Séguin coaxed vehement playing from the orchestra, with brutal, slashing power and pummeling rhythmic intensity. Was the final, triumphant (excessively triumphant?) episode Shostakovich's ironic response to Soviet authorities who had condemned his music as decadent modernism? This performance was so driving and glorious you did not care.
The ovation was enormous. The orchestra has come through rough times, including a financial crisis and a leadership vacuum. But the Philadelphia Orchestra seems to have found its ideal music director, though Mr. Nézet-Séguin will have to balance his commitment to Philadelphia with his international ambitions.

The district and borough council leaders of Leicestershire have agreed to work together to review the current model of local government for Leicestershire.
Previously Leicestershire County Council said it wanted to explore a single unitary authority covering the whole county. That one council would combine the powers of the existing county council and the seven district and borough councils. The authority said it would also be drawing up more detailed proposals for a public consultation planned for early next year.
A joint statement from the borough and district leaders said: "We as council leaders wish to adopt a collaborative approach to examine what may be the best way of delivering local services for residents in the county, and in the wider context of the East Midlands region.
"This new collaborative approach will examine what is both cost-effective in how services may be delivered and how best to retain their link with local residents. Such models may mean stronger district councils working within a combined authority or having multiple unitary authorities or whether the current structure is still the best way of delivering local services.
"We have a number of reservations as to the model proposed by the county council not least the rushed timetable and it being too remote for local residents. However, we recognise that it may be premature to rule it out at this early stage.
"Accordingly the council leaders have pledged to work together to find the right solution for the residents of Leicestershire and look forward to engaging with our elected partners, stakeholders and residents to deliver the best in local government for Leicestershire and the East Midlands region.
"We would invite the county council and others to join us in this approach, as collectively, we have the expertise to determine the best solution for our residents."

Our patients frequently ask us why they seem to have greater difficulty hearing in busy rooms than in other situations. Person-to-person conversations and even small group conversations don't cause them any trouble. But in a crowd, such as a noisy party or in large public gatherings, suddenly it becomes difficult to understand what the person speaking to them is saying, or to distinguish the speaker's voice from the background sounds. People who complain of this also often mention having trouble hearing the consonants "S," "F," and "H," no longer being able to distinguish one from the other.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, there is a possibility that you may have suffered some form or high-frequency hearing loss. When describing human speech, audiologists define the 3000 to 8000 Hz range as high-frequency. This is the range that the S, H, and F sounds typically fall into. In a crowd, what you hear is a mixture of frequencies, with the high frequencies of human speech "competing" with lower-frequency sounds such as music or the noise of people walking or dancing. Individuals with high-frequency hearing loss will report that the low-frequency sounds are much louder to them. To them it is as if the 'background noise' has been amplified relative to the human speech they are trying to focus on.
High-frequency hearing loss is quite common. Some studies have found that as much as 18 percent of the population is affected. High-frequency hearing loss is normal with aging, but is increasingly being diagnosed in younger adults too. Audiologists suspect this may come from repeated exposure to loud music especially through personal headphones. Other factors that can cause hearing loss include genetics, exposure to toxic drugs (including some chemotherapy agents), diabetes, and other diseases.
If you have indeed suffered some high-frequency hearing loss, it can be treated. Hearing aids can be adjusted to amplify the higher frequencies and suppress lower frequencies, with the result that you can hear voices better in crowded rooms.
If you have trouble hearing in crowds, your first step should be to make an appointment with one of our specialists, so that we can determine whether you have suffered some form of hearing loss. Our audiologist can perform a variety of tests to identify the underlying cause of the problem and recommend the best treatment options for your specific situation.
