When Paul and Cathy Dietz learned they could score free tickets to the GeekWire Gala earlier this month by winning GeekWire's ugly sweater contest, the engineers got to work. In just two days, Cathy Dietz designed and knitted an entire Christmas sweater dress from scratch while her husband created the parts to animate it.
The result was perhaps the geekiest ugly Christmas sweater ever. It features two talking characters: Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Paul Dietz stopped by the GeekWire office to show off the sweater. Watch the video below to see his demo, and scroll down to continue reading about the geeky creation.
Here's how it works: In the back of the sweater, a control box makes Santa and Rudolph's mouths move. After creating an audio recording, Paul Dietz made the two characters "talk" by putting Santa's audio on the right track and Rudolph's audio on the left track. The circuit analyzes the power in the speech and drives the servo accordingly.
The sweater was a hit at the gala.
"I have never had so many strangers stop me to tell me how much they liked my dress," Cathy Dietz said in an email to GeekWire.
This year's Ugly Sweater contest was presented by The University of Washington's Foster School of Business Master of Science in Information Systems, with three finalists chosen to present their creations live on stage in front of more than 800 attendees at the GeekWire Gala.
As part of the entry, Paul Dietz recorded a script for Santa and Rudolph:
Rudolph: Hey Santa, we made it to the GeekWire Gala.
Santa: That's right, Rudy. Look at all the people.
Rudolph: It looks like a pretty geeky crowd to me.
Santa: Yes, they're geeks. But the important question is if they've been bad or good.
Rudolph: They all look good to me.
Santa: Yes, most of them are nice, but none of the venture capitalists were willing to fund my startup, Reindeer Games.
Rudolph: That's terrible, Santa.
Santa: Yes, they're on my naughty list.
Rudolph: What's a reindeer game?
Santa: You fly all over the world in VR, delivering toys.
Rudolph: That sounds kind of cool. Can I try it?
Santa: No, I won't let you play any reindeer games.
Rudolph: Aww!
Paul Dietz is the chief technology officer of Misapplied Sciences, a Seattle-area startup developing what it calls "parallel reality technology." He's also a former Disney Imagineer. Cathy Dietz is an electrical engineer, and her background is in image signal processing.
In their spare time, the couple runs a program called The Animatronics Workshop, which encourages kids to use robotics for storytelling.
"Instead of having kids build robots that do some competition, we have them build robots that put on a show," Paul Dietz said. "We've been doing this for about a decade now, and it's been a great thing for helping kids explore the creative side."
The Dietz's had a lot of fun making their entry for GeekWire's ugly sweater contest. Would they ever consider recreating the sweater, perhaps as part of a line of animated sweaters?
"I don't expect so, but you never know," Paul Dietz said. "You know, we've gotten the startup bug."

The audit is a fundamental subject and requires basic reasoning and analysis from students. The researchers nowadays associate with the classes to learning basic lessons. They can't commit full time to their scholastic records on auditing. In this manner, asking for the auditing assignment help becomes essential for the college students.
Aside from the standard tenets, many rules should be looked after while setting up an academic paper on auditing. As these standards start once and keep updating, monitoring them isn't conceivable. In the end, it influences students to ask for the auditing assignment help from the experts.

An auditor vested with the obligation of leading an examination. It is a formal and efficient investigation of the accounting and financial records of an association. The examination evaluates the accounting principles, and the system adopted by an association. The examination and investigation need to portray a genuine and reasonable picture of the association.
Furthermore watch and perceive the territory of deviations and control shown in the records of an association. The two noteworthy deviations noticed are extortion and blunder. Moreover, auditors need to voice an assessment as a conclusion drawn from the derivations of the examination of records. These conclusions hold key incentive in the estimation and assessment of an association.
The impression of the financial statements of an association is the basis of the opinions exhibited by an auditor in the review report. In auditing, the auditor considers voicing an opinion based on the inductions and conclusions drawn from the examination of the book of records of an association. Opinions hold vital significance to the partners of an association. There are four kinds of opinions that an auditor can create:
An unqualified opinion named as a clean opinion. It implies that financial statement and book of records are free of blunders and fakes. It features that the association analyzed has acknowledged standard accounting arrangements and methods. "Clean Opinion" is the term used for an unqualified opinion.
A qualified opinion alludes to the way that an association has been unsuccessful in adjusting the Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and standard accounting systems. In any case, no twisting or distortion of reality is available in the books of records.
An opposing opinion is the biggest issue looked by an association. The auditor proposes an opposite opinion when the association has neglected to adjust and see to the standards and gauges of GAAP.
Auditor gives a disclaimer of opinion when they can't express an opinion. It can be because of some unanticipated possibilities. Possibilities could be limited access, not being allowed to perform some aspects of audit and so on.

Lake's portfolio includes lithium brines and pegmatites
Its ground is found near existing and emerging operations
Partnering is a way forward for the company, with talks in progress
The Olaroz/Cauchari Lithium Brine Project near Ganfeng/Lithium Americas project in Jujuy Province holds hope for Lake
Lake's world-class Kachi Lithium Brine Project south of the Hombre Muerto Salar on Escondido salar in Catamarca province also holds promise, with the company hoping to use data from pilot plant studies in late 2019 for a PFS
What does Lake Resources do?
Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE) (FRA:LK1) is an Australian company focused on lithium exploration in northern Argentina, part of South America's highly prospective Lithium Triangle.
The company's strategy is to access scalable and optionality lithium projects in brines and pegmatites so it can unlock value as it delivers results and newsflow in the near to medium term and aims to attract major miners as joint venture partners.
Sydney-based explorer Lake has a large landholding and is led by geologist and resource financing specialist Stephen Promnitz.
Managing director Promnitz has worked in the resources industry and related banking finance sectors for more than 32 years.
The Sentient Advisory principal and former Indochine Mining Ltd chief executive officer was a vice-president of resources equities at Citi and joined the capital raising outfit after a stint as resources, energy and infrastructure director at Westpac Institutional Bank.
Promnitz was previously an acquisitions manager and Argentinian country manager for BHP Billiton Limited (ASX:BHP) pick-up WMC Resources (Western Mining Corporation; ASX:WMC) and was a project manager and geologist for Rio Tinto plc (ASX:RIO) (LON:RIO) (NYSE:RIO) (OTCMKTS:RTNTF) during the CRA (Conzinc Riotinto of Australia Limited) era.
The long-time resources industry professional is fluent in Spanish and has a history of exploring, funding and developing mining projects.
What does Lake Resources own?
Lake Resources' acreage in Argentina is one of the largest lithium landholdings in the country.
The holding of more than 170,000 hectares makes the company a large player in the global lithium market which has traditionally included the world's Big Three producers Albermarle Corp (ALB-NYSE), private company Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (SQM) and FMC Corp (NYSE:FMC).
Lake's lithium ground is found in South America's prospective Lithium Triangle which contains about 54% of the world's lithium. Chile and Bolivia are the other two countries on the triangle.
Phillip Street company Lake's tenure in Argentina includes a large package of lithium pegmatite properties, a lithium source gaining prominence in the Argentinian market.
Lake's key assets are the world-class Kachi Lithium Brine Project and the emerging Olaroz/Cauchari Lithium Brine Project in lithium brine horizons near an adjoining world-class major project in pre-production stage.
Which projects is Lake Resources prioritising in Jujuy Province?
In May 2019 Lake reported field drilling results had further increased its confidence in the 100%-owned Olaroz/Cauchari Lithium Brine Project and the company's ability to replicate the success of nearby multi-billion-dollar projects in the heart of the Lithium Triangle.
Olaroz/Cauchari project covers about 19,000 hectares and is found in Argentina's Jujuy Province.
A week ago, on July 3, 2019, the company revealed it had encountered more conductive brines at Cauchari as it deepened a borehole towards a target sand horizon.
Recent Cauchari lithium brine results have shown lithium values of up to 538 milligrams per litre and continuity of brine horizons into the Ganfeng/Lithium Americas (LAC) adjoining major projects, which are in pre-production.
Another key brine project for Lake in Argentina is the Paso Lithium Brine Project covering about 29,000 hectares in Jujuy Province.
Which projects is Lake Resources prioritising in Catamarca province?
Lake's Kachi Lithium Brine Project extends over more than 49,000 hectares in Argentina's Catamarca province.
International engineering and design firm Hatch was appointed to Kachi project in May 2019 after a pilot plant engineering phase was kicked off earlier that month.
Pilot plant commissioning at Kachi is tipped to start in late 2019 and forms part of a pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the project which is imagined as a low-cost rapid development project.
To be based on Lake's US partner Lilac Solutions' direct extraction production technology, Kachi plant is expected to test the potential for rapid, low-cost production from the project amid high expected recoveries and low environmental impacts achieved at a competitive advantage.
A December 2018 phase I engineering study for the project put production costs in the lowest quartile of global lithium production costs.
During Lilac technology testing for the phase I Kachi study, high lithium concentrations of 30,000 milligrams per litre were produced after three hours of processing of about 300 milligrams per litre brines for confirmed recoveries of about 85-90% from multiple samples.
Kachi project is about 100 kilometres south of an FMC Salar del Hombre Muerto lithium brine production operation.
FMC spun out its Fenix mine operations in Hombre Muerto to IPO Livent Corp (NYSE:LTHM) which has a market capitalisation of US$994.3 million ($1.4 billion).
Brine-based deposits with high concentrations of lithium that range from 200 to 2000 parts per million are found in Hombre Muertos salt basin.
Australian-listed Galaxy Resources inked a deal in August 2018 to sell mining rights to its Salar del Hombre Muerto project to South Korean steelmaker POSCO (KRX:005490) (NYSE:PKX) for $280 million.
Galaxy is hoping to use the funds to develop its Sal de Vida Project in the salt basin.
Western Australia-based lithium player Galan Lithium Limited (ASX:GLN) is another explorer-developer in the region, advancing 100%-owned lithium assets on Hombre Muerto Salar.
Galan's first drill hole on its Candelas property adjacent to Sal de Vida returned 165 metres of high-grade, low-contaminant lithium brines and followed gravity and controlled source audio frequency magneto-tellurics (CSAMT) surveys that defined a potential 15-kilometre long brine reservoir.
Lake also has the Catamarca Lithium Pegmatite Project in Argentina which covers about 72,000 hectares at Ancasti in Catamarca Province.

Lake progresses talks with development partners, reports managing director Steve Promnitz
"Lake is on track to finally reach the target horizon soon at Cauchari and declare a major discovery," Lake's managing director Steve Promnitz told the market last Wednesday.
"A series of brine horizon continue to be intersected prior to the target horizon.
"Cauchari is rapidly gaining momentum as a highly-valuable project for Lake, adding to our portfolio of 100%-owned projects in the heart of the Lithium Triangle, including Olaroz and the world-class Kachi project.
"With talks progressing with potential development partners, we are in an excellent position to deliver increased value for shareholders."

Fellowship allows for fishing
17 Dec 2013
Article courtesy of Northern Star newspaper (Northern NSW) and also appeared in The Daily Examiner
Applications for a Churchill Fellowship are open for NSW residents.
It is a scheme that lets you design your own research, travel the world, expand your skills and make a contribution to Australia.
The prestigious Churchill Fellowships each year see more than 100 Australians awarded a travel fellowship worth an average of $20,000 each. Australians are being urged to apply for the fellowships that fund accommodation and travel for Australians aged over 18 to go overseas for 6–8 weeks, gather information in their field of work or endeavour, create networks and return to share their findings.
A memorial to Sir Winston Churchill and endorsed as a concept before he died, the fellowships are designed to perpetuate his memory and provide an opportunity for people who, like Churchill, are determined to make a difference.
Lennox Head man Craig Copeland was awarded a Churchill Fellowship this year and it allowed him to travel to the US, Ireland and Britain to look into the motivations for recreational fishers to restore fish habitat.
He said the Churchill Fellowship journey for him was a fantastic one that he was very grateful for.
"I met lots of people, saw many different places that I wouldn't normally get to see – like beautiful little rivers in Idaho, for example," Mr Copeland said.
He is very involved in the restoration of fish habitat in Australia and said the issue was pertinent to make sure fisheries were maintained well into the future – ensuring that fish don't die out in years to come.
"I think part of the problem is people don't realise what's been lost," Mr Copeland said, noting that a century ago rivers were described as "swarming" with fish, unlike they are today.
The co-operation of recreational fishers is very important to make sure that fish have a good habitat to thrive in for the future.
None of this would have been made possible without the Churchill Trust, he added.
To find out more or get an application package, go to churchilltrust.com.au or phone 02 62478333.

Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure, with nearly 74 percent of all adults having had at least one tooth extracted. At Silicon Valley Smile Solutions, we will always do everything we can to save your natural teeth before resorting to tooth extraction. However, if you do have a problem tooth it is best no If you do have a problem tooth, or wisdom teeth coming in, it is best not to delay treatment as problems can worsen or even spread to other parts of the body. We strive to make our tooth extraction procedures as gentle as possible so you can get out of pain and enjoy life again.
One of the most common reasons patients need to have a tooth extraction is due to an accident that may have severely damaged a tooth. Even teeth that are knocked out often have tooth roots or broken pieces of bone within the socket that should be removed.
In some instances, children do not lose their baby teeth when they should, which can cause complications as adult teeth begin to grow in. Without tooth extraction of baby teeth, permanent teeth can become impacted or grow at improper angles, requiring extensive treatment in the future.
Bacteria and infection that cause advanced gum disease can destroy gum and bone tissue, causing the teeth to loosen. To preserve the health of surrounding teeth and gums, we may perform a tooth extraction for these failing teeth.
Those interested in replacing their problem teeth with dental implants will need to have those teeth extracted to make room for the implants. For full arch dental implants or implant supported dentures, tooth extraction of any remaining teeth is necessary to allow for the prosthesis to be securely attached.
Wisdom teeth are extra molars that begin to develop in the back of the mouth during the late teenage years. Often, the mouth does not have the space to hold these extra teeth and they do not erupt properly, becoming impacted within the back of the jaw. Impacted teeth can become easily infected and damage or cause crowding to surrounding teeth. Dr. HagShenas provides effective tooth extractions for wisdom teeth in our office in order to preserve the structure of your jaw, relieve you of tooth pain and prevent infection.
We offer soothing sedation options before tooth extractions to help ease your nerves and block sensations of pain. Most patients only report a slight pressure at the site of extraction with the use of sedation during treatment. After tooth extractions Dr. HagShenas may perform a socket preservation bone graft treatment to restore the area where the tooth was. Socket preservation fills in the empty area where the tooth once was with bone, restoring jaw shape, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap, and prepares the jaw for future dental implant replacement.

(May 19, 2017) Modern historians often presume that the post Civil War Republican Party's demand for black suffrage and civil rights in the South was motivated by the intrinsic morality of racial equality and pejoratively contrast it with the violent resistance such policies sometimes encountered from the region's whites. Examples include recent Grant biographers such as H. W. Brands, Ron Chernow, and Ronald White, among others. The effect is to demonize Southerner Democrats as depraved while falsely minimizing Republican racism as offset by the Party's advocacy for civil rights in the South as a matter of moral principle.
Earlier historians, however, more often explained that the Party also had a second agenda. Specifically, Republicans realized that they could lose control in Washington if the Southern states re-entered the Union without a significant Republican voting block, which almost certainly would have happened if whites dominated the Southern electorate. Thus, they reasoned, continued Republican control could be assured by imposing two federal actions. First was to create a Republican-loyal constituency out of the freed slaves, which accounted for 40% of the former Confederacy's population. Second was to shrink the South's opposing electorate by denying voting rights to many former Confederates.
The impact was almost immediate. In the 1868 presidential election Ulysses Grant would have lost the popular vote majority without Southern black votes, although he would have retained his Electoral College victory,
Current historians also applaud Reconstruction Era Republicans for creating and using federal powers—including the suspension of habeas corpus—against Southern whites suspected of intimidating and sometimes killing black and Republican voters in the region. They neglect, however, to mention that the Republicans failed to use those same powers to protect other racial minorities that were not solidly Republican. In fact, the Republican-sponsored 1866 Civil Rights Act and the three constitutional amendments of the era mostly ignored "non-white" American residents who were not black. One of the most abused among such groups were the Chinese-Americans.
Two thirds of the lynching victims in California between 1849 and 1902 were Asians. The biggest such episode happened in Los Angeles in 1871 when nineteen were lynched, including one woman. While modern biographers applaud President Grant for enforcing the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act in the South, they neglect to mention that his Administration failed to do anything for Chinese-Americans perhaps because the lynch mob was composed of white Californians.
Another incident occurred in Eureka, California fourteen years later. After a white man was killed in the crossfire between two quarrelling Chinese in 1885 the city forcibly removed all of its Chinese residents in 48 hours. Over three hundred were hurriedly loaded onto two ships that happened to be in the harbor and told never to return. There can be little doubt that massive bloodshed would have resulted if the Asian immigrants had resisted.
When the Chinese-Americans sued for damages in 1886 the California Federal Circuit Court ruled in Wing Hing v. City of Eureka that the Asians were not entitled to any recompense because tax records showed that they owned little property and what they did own was "probably worthless." Nearly all the Asians were renters because the Eureka's whites refused to sell them real estate.
Although there were far fewer lynching in California than in the South, the number of Chinese-Americans in the state never topped 10% and few were permitted to vote until well into the twentieth century. In fact, they could not become naturalized citizens until 1943 when a bill sponsored by a Southern Democrat in the Senate became law. It is frightening to imagine the amplification of white violence against Chinese-Americans that might have resulted in California if the Asian immigrants had been permitted to vote while representing as large a share of the population as the 40% that blacks did in the South.
The 1870 Naturalization Act is another example of how the infant GOP deliberately excluded civil rights to racial minorities that were not part of the Republican-loyal Southern black voting block. The Act guaranteed blacks the right to become naturalized citizens and, as such, to own property. If it had included other "non-white" immigrants many of Eureka's Chinese-Americans could have been property owners, entitled to recompense after their banishment. The 1870 Act was sponsored by two New York Republicans, in the Senate and House respectively. It passed 33-to-8 in the Senate and 132-to-53 in the House and was signed by President Grant. Both chambers were dominated by the Republican Party. In 1878 a California Federal Circuit Court specifically ruled in In re Ah Yup that Chinese-Americans could not become naturalized citizens.
Since Californians recognized that the Fourteenth Amendment would automatically bestow citizenship on the offspring of Chinese-Americans born in the USA, they took three actions to minimize such possibilities.
First they persuaded Congress to pass the 1875 Page Act that basically blocked Chinese women from immigrating at a time when the great majority of Chinese in America were males. Second, in 1905 California passed a miscegenation law, which prevented Chinese and white intermarriage. Third, despite the results of the Civil War, the state's Supreme Court ruled in People v. Brady (40 Cal. 198 – 1870) that the Fourteenth Amendment did not apply to California because it was a "sovereign state." California basically nullified, with impunity, a part of the U. S. Constitution that it did not like.
Next came a series of federal Chinese Exclusion Acts designed to reduce the number of Asian residents. The first, in 1882, stopped Chinese immigration for a decade. Seven years later the Republican-dominated U. S. Supreme Court ruled that it was constitutional. The 1892 Geary Act extended the exclusion for another decade. In 1904 the exclusion acts were made permanent. In 1925 even the Chinese wives of American citizens were denied entry into the United States. As the accompanying table illustrates, the Exclusion Acts sharply reduced the growth of Chinese-Americans, which as late as 1950 represented less than 2% of California's population.
There is no denying that much of the hostility toward Chinese-Americans came from the white laboring classes of the Democratic Party that competed for employment with the Asian immigrants. Thus, the Democratic Party platforms during the presidential elections of 1876, 1880, 1884, 1888, and 1892 contained planks supporting limits on Chinese immigration. Nonetheless, the Republican Party platforms of 1882, 1884, and 1888 also included planks supporting Chinese immigration limits.
The key difference is that the GOP limited its concern for minority suffrage and civil rights to Republican-loyal black voters and largely ignored the plight of other "non-white" minorities. As a result, it is difficult to conclude that Republicans were genuinely interested in minority rights, except for the solitary minority that would help keep the Party in power. Such a conclusion changes the complexion of the currently dominant Reconstruction interpretation that minimizes Republican Party self-interest.

Part D: Environment - 38. Environment | 38.9 Enforcement and Non Compliance
In addition to setting out the environmental obligations of mineral rights holders, a mining law should provide for a specific mechanism by which the government may oversee mining operations and compel mineral rights holders to follow through on those obligations and correct environmental problems through enforcement actions.
Many countries provide the government with a general authority to enforce the violation of any requirement, which may include environmental protection requirements. The effect of noncompliance can range from loss of the mineral right to civil liability to imprisonment of the mineral rights holder.
The penalties should be commensurate with the damage caused by taking into account the various types of applicable sanctions (administrative, criminal, civil), as well as affirmative environmental obligations. They should also be significantly dissuasive enough to avoid paying penalties being less costly than remediation of damage.Companies should be encouraged to establish internal or community-level grievance mechanisms to facilitate the compliance with environmental regulations. Existing procedural rules should be applied for discovery of non-compliance or where rules do not exist, government should create general rules for such cases.
38.9. Example 1:
Article [_]
(1) The [Regulating Authority] may cancel or suspend any reconnaissance/prospecting right, exploration right, mining right or retention permit if the holder thereof:
(a) Is conducting any reconnaissance/prospecting, exploration, or mining operation in contravention of this [Act][Code][Law];
(b) Breaches any material term or condition of such right, permit or permission;
(c) Is contravening the approved environmental management program; or
(d) Has submitted inaccurate, incorrect or misleading information in connection with any matter required to be submitted under this [Act][Code][Law].
(2) Before acting under subsection (1), the [Regulating Authority] must:
(a) Give written notice to the holder indicating the intention to suspend or cancel the right;
(b) Set out the reasons why he or she is considering suspending or cancelling the right;
(c) Afford the holder a reasonable opportunity to show why the right, permit or permission should not be suspended or cancelled; and
(d) Notify the mortgagor, if any, of the reconnaissance/prospecting right, exploration right or mining right concerned of his or her intention to suspend or cancel the right.
(3) The [Regulating Authority] must direct the holder to take specified measures to remedy any contravention, breach or failure.
(4) If the holder does not comply with the direction given under subsection (3), the [Regulating Authority] may act under subsection (5) against the holder after having:
(a) Given the holder a reasonable opportunity to make representations; and
(b) Considered any such representations.
(5) The [Regulating Authority] may by written notice to the holder lift a suspension if the holder:
(a) Complies with a directive contemplated in subsection (3); or
(b) Furnishes compelling reasons for the lifting of the suspension.
Drawn from South Africa's mining law (2002), this provision empowers the regulating authority to terminate or suspend the mineral right in the event that the rights holder fails to comply with any requirement under the mining law, including environmental obligations. The rights holder may be directed to take certain corrective actions to remedy the environmental issues. The rights holder is also afforded the opportunity to present its case to the regulator as to why the right should not be ended.
This language is oriented toward motivating the rights holder to perform the work itself, rather than having the government assume the responsibility. The threat of rescinding the right is used to encourage the rights holder to comply with the government's directions.
38.9. Example 2:
Article [_]
(1) The [Regulating Authority] may, with due regard to good reconnaissance/prospecting practices, good exploration practices or good mining practices by notice in writing addressed and delivered to the holder of a mineral license, give directions to such holder in relation to -
(a) The carrying on of reconnaissance/prospecting operations, exploration operations and mining operations, including the erection or construction of any accessory works;
(b) The protection of the environment;
(c) The conservation of any natural resources, including mineral resources, and the prevention of the waste of such resources;
(d) The construction, erection, maintenance, operation or use of accessory works;
(e) The removal of accessory works or other goods erected, constructed or brought on land in connection with the prospecting for, the exploration for, or mining or conveyance of, any mineral or group of minerals which is not used or intended to be used in connection with such prospecting, mining or conveyance;
(f) The discovery of any mineral or group of minerals;
(g) The taking, preservation and furnishing to the [Regulating Authority] of cores, cuttings or samples of any mineral or group of minerals obtained or which may be obtained in the course of reconnaissance/prospecting operations, exploration operations and mining operations;
(h) The submission to the [Regulating Authority] of reports, returns and other information, and the [Regulating Authority] may, if such holder fails to comply, within such period as may be specified in such notice or such further period as the [Regulating Authority] may on good cause shown allow in writing, with such directions to the satisfaction of the [Regulating Authority], cause such steps to be taken as may be necessary to comply with such directions, and may recover from such holder in a competent court the costs incurred in connection with the taking of such steps.
(2) Any holder of a mineral license who contravenes or fails to comply with a notice issued under subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding [fine amount] or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding [12 months] or to both such fine and such imprisonment.
Drawn from Namibia's mining law (1992), this provision, like South Africa's in Example 1 above, permits the government to issue directions to rights holders for environmental protection purposes. The government has expansive powers to order corrective action and, if the rights holder fails to comply, recover the costs associated with the government performing the corrective work itself. Noncompliance is subject to civil and criminal penalties.Whereas the primary threat to the rights holder in Example 1 is the loss of the mineral right, Example 2 directly raises the prospect of criminal penalties, including jail time, and the monetary costs of clean-up.

NFL Week 14: Ravens vs. Redskins
Dec 2012
Baltimore Ravens (+3) @ Washington Redskins (-3) Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012 1 p.m. ETAfter an impressive performance against the division rival New York Giants last week, Robert Griffin III or RG3 as he's called has proven that he's the next best superstar in the NFL and might be able to lead Washington Redskins into the playoffs this season if he can continue to play an extremely high level both with his passing ability and uncanny running ability. Griffin has exceeded expectations up to this point in the 2012 NFL season and no longer looks like a rookie under center for head coach Mike Shanahan. Washington may hold their fate in their own hands moving forward as four straight wins to finish the regular season might be enough to claims that playoff berth in the NFC. The NFC East division title may be another story altogether with the Giants still capable of pulling it off and the Dallas Cowboys still in contention as well. The competition won't get any easier heading into Week 14 for Griffin and company as a rookie quarterback will be going up against one of the best teams in the AFC in the Baltimore Ravens. Although the ravens are coming off a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore is still as good as many teams in the league and maybe looking forward to a chance to capitalize on Griffin's inexperience. Fortunately for the Redskins, this game will be played in Washington with a reinvigorated fan base waiting to support Griffin and this impressive team filled with young players confident that a playoff berth is a realistic expectation moving forward. At this point in time, the Redskins are actually favored to get the win over the Ravens on Sunday with a -3 point spread. Even though the Ravens will be motivated to say the least, I believe Griffin has hit his stride and will get the win yet again.
Prediction: Redskins -3

Big, Westley Neal—The Unstoppable Force
Good afternoon Westley, I've watched you play in your 2019 Spring Football game and you were all over the field! You were unstoppable! What makes you 'tick' when you line up across from your opponent?
My size, my aggressiveness and my speed. People don't think that I can move that well because of my size when I'm on the field. Little do they know, they'll soon find out.
How old where you when you first started playing Pee Wee Football?
I was about five years old when I started playing football .
I have practically known you for most of your life, you always were a big kid, how were you able to make the required weight in order to play in the Pop Warner football games?
Honestly, I've never made the weight until my last two years which was the seventh grade. The league made it unlimited weight. So, I just basically had to run every year and loss about twenty pounds.
So, with the unlimited weight, were you able to play a skill position, like a running back or line backer?
No, just offense or defense of line.
Why were you not allowed?
Because, I was too big and someone might get hurt (Westley laughs).
Who are your parents?
My parents are La Toya Williams and Westley Neal.
What part of town did you grow up in?
I grew up in South Miami, Florida.
What was it like growing up in South Miami?
It was good, things happen here but over all it is a good community to grow up in.
What are some of the activities that you do in South Miami?
I work out with weights, hang out with my friends, play football and basketball things like that.
So, I see that you can play more than one sport.
Yes, I participate in Track and Field. I also participate in Discus and Shot Put, and I'm pretty good at it.
How old are you and what's your classification?
I am 17 and I am going to be a senior this coming season.
What school do you attend?
I attend Gulliver Prep.
How was your transition from Pop Warner Football to high school football?
It was tough because being a big kid on the park, you are the man. But once you get to high school it's a different level because everyone is big. So, that changed.
What's your favorite meal?
My favorite meal is Chick Fil-a. I love it. I would eat it everyday if I could; and it's pretty healthy.
Westley what is your weight and height? How much weight can you bench press and how much weight can you squat?
Right now, I'm around 307 Lb and I'm 6'ft, the last time I maxed out on the bench press was 430lbs and I can squat 570lbs.
You're a beast in the weight room.
Yes, I love the weight room.
What position do you play?
I play Defensive Tackle.
When did the light come on that you knew you could compete on a high school football level?
It had to be at the end of my freshman year. My freshman year was rough because I was not that big compared to high schoolers. So, I just stayed in the weight room and motivated myself and I stayed dedicated and that's when things changed.
What or who inspires you to play high school football?
My Mom, definitely my Mom. She has been my number 1 supporter since I was five. She has never missed a game since I was five. She's the one that keeps me going.
Who is the professional defensive player that you emulate your game after?
Quinny Williams and Aron Donovan.
What is your favorite defensive tactic or move against your opponent.
Oh, that's hard, I like the Bull Rush. I just like it because I am overpowering my opponent. If I can't Bull Rush you, then I like the Swim move. I sometimes use the Rip and sometimes I use the Spin Move.
Where did you get that Spin Move from?
I got it from my former teammate Manny Alonzo; he taught me the Spin Move in my sophomore year. Manny now attends Virginia University.
What goals have you set for your 2019 season?
My goals to win the State Championship. I haven't won a State Championship since I got to high school. So, hopefully this is the year.
Do you guys have a pretty good team?
We always have a pretty good team. We have never had the depth and now that we have the depth and a better team, I think that we can make it this year.
What opponent has been giving your team a difficultly challenge?
University school, it's up in the Broward County area.They are pretty good. We always have a challenging game when we play them.
Who are some of the D1 colleges that are showing an interest in you?
University of Miami, Indiana, Pitt, Florida State, Florida, Louisville, West Virginia, FIU, FAU, and a few others.
So, how does that affect your ego?
It doesn't, I am the same person with or with out the offers. You just have to stay humble.
Who is your number one fan or fans?
My Mom and my little cousin LJ. They're at every game. They are the only two people that I hear during the game. They are louder than the whole crowd.
What about Uncle Laren?
He comes to some games and he just yells out my name out of no where. Like whenever I am lacking, he yells out, "Hey ,Wes, lets go!" Then, I look in the stands and I see all of them and I go crazy after that.
By the way, do your teammates know that you are musically inclined and that you play the trumpet very well?
I don't think that they know that. If they did they would look at me differently. They would laugh because they don't think that a big guy can play a trumpet. But I played the trumpet my eighth grade year. After my sophomore year I got braces and I couldn't play any more.
Yes, I recall attending one of your family members Sweet 16 functions in which you and some of your band classmates participated in the function; and there you were center stage playing your trumpet. I must say that I was very impressed by your performance.
What would you tell those young football players that look up to you?
I would tell them to stay motivated. You can't get discouraged when you don't have offers and all these things that are coming your way; you just got to pray and stay humble. You have to keep your mind on your books because you can't play football without the grades. Definitely you have to get your grades first and then everything else will fall into place.
Westley, Sports Elite thanks you for sharing. We wish that you have a Block Buster Season.

|Message from the President (Maitland Evans, PhD)
The IUC is an initiative of the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and was founded in 2005. The IUC, however, draws upon over 200 years of engagement in the delivery of quality secondary education which evolved, naturally, into our foray into tertiary education which began in 1989 with the establishment of the College for Leadership and Theological Development (CLTD). The CLTD is one of two constituent colleges of the IUC and is a pioneer in its own right, having earned the distinction of graduating the largest number of Guidance Counsellors, when compared to other institutions in Jamaica and the Caribbean. That CLTD has achieved this in its brief history is a testimony to the perspicacity of its founders and shapers in responding to the needs of the society. The other constituent college of the IUC is Mel Nathan College (MNC) which began as a community training institute in Jamaica's urban inner city and is the founder of one of Jamaica's leading preparatory schools, Mel Nathan Prep.
The IUC brings together then, the strong traditions of pioneering work, responsiveness to social needs, commitment to empowerment and a vision for national development. The IUC has strong international linkages and offers a number of programmes in partnership with institutions in Canada and the United Kingdom. Persons who register with us, therefore, will register with CLTD / IUC for our homegrown programmes or with IUC for programmes that have international links.
I look forward to welcoming you into one of our programmes, confident that you will find meaning and fulfillment in your growth journey with us.
Warmly yours,

April is Fair Housing Month
The National Association of REALTORS® has developed a Fair Housing Program to provide resources and guidance to REALTORS® in ensuring equal professional services for all people.
Our code of ethics protects more people than either the US or State of Michigan fair housing laws. Neither of these apply to the LGBTQ population, but the REALTOR® Code of Ethics does.
The Code of Ethics: Article 10 of the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics provides that, "REALTORS® shall not deny equal professional services to any person for reasons of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. REALTORS® shall not be parties to any plan or agreement to discriminate against a person or persons on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. REALTORS®, in their real estate employment practices, shall not discriminate against any person or persons on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity."
A REALTOR® pledges to conduct business in keeping with the spirit and letter of the Code of Ethics. Article 10 imposes obligations upon REALTORS® and is also a firm statement of support for equal opportunity in housing.
This month, I've signed the NAR Fair Housing Declaration.
I agree to:
- Provide equal professional service without regard to the race, color, religion, gender (sex), disability (handicap), familial status, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity of any prospective client, customer, or of the residents of any community.
- Keep informed about fair housing law and practices, improving my clients' and customers' opportunities and my business.
- Develop advertising that indicates that everyone is welcome and no one is excluded;, expanding my client's and customer's opportunities to see, buy, or lease property.
- Inform my clients and customers about their rights and responsibilities under the fair housing laws by providing brochures and other information.
- Document my efforts to provide professional service, which will assist me in becoming a more responsive and successful REALTOR®.
- Refuse to tolerate non-compliance.
- Learn about those who are different from me, and celebrate those differences.
- Take a positive approach to fair housing practices and aspire to follow the spirit as well as the letter of the law.
- Develop and implement fair housing practices for my firm to carry out the spirit of this declaration.
I am very proud to be a member of such an inclusive and diverse industry.

The Possible Rebound of CEO Visibility
One of the ways I try to tap into trends is to keep a mental note of requests from clients, colleagues and the media. At first, I may not notice that something is bubbling up but by the third time, I begin to scratch my head and wonder if something is up. Then I mull it over, ask a few people and try to decide if the trend is at all noteworthy and worth mentioning.
Lately I have been thinking about CEO visibility. Since I have been following CEOs for what seems like forever and witnessed the pre-Enron, post-Enron, pre-financial tsunami and now mid-financial tsunami, I think that we are starting to see CEOs emerge from the shadows once again. As our recent research showed, few people have positive perceptions of CEOs in general (14%) but when it comes to their own CEOs, positive perceptions are sky high (86%). Thus CEOs seem to be getting the message that they need to speak up on behalf of their industries and their own companies. Over the past two months, we have increasingly been asked more about how CEOs can get their messages out in this kaleidoscope of news. CEO conferences never went away but many were scaled down as the economy took its toll and public scrutiny intensified over how CEOs were spending their time, where they were going and how they traveled from one place to another. What we are now seeing is that CEOs are more willing to speak at conferences that drive their messages and sales home. Whereas it is often hard to control the message in the media, it is easier to manage the message at a conference. With the advent of social media, Twitter and all things digital, CEO conference keynotes, panel discussions and Q&A are easier than ever to circulate to wide audiences instanteously. My sense is that executive conferences are poised for a major comeback.

How your dentist in Westmont and Hickory Hills can help with gum pain
If you notice your gums hurting all of a sudden, it could be just a minor scrape from a tortilla chip or a burn from hot pizza, or it could be a sign of gum disease. If your gum pain doesn't go away on its own, it's time to think about treating your gum disease. Dr. Frederic Mrugala in Westmont and Hickory Hills, IL wants to share the facts about gum disease.
In addition to gum pain, there are several other signs and symptoms of gum disease to look for including:
- Swollen, puffy gum tissue
- Irritated, red gum tissue
- Gums that bleed when you brush and floss
- Frequent bad breath or a sour taste in your mouth
Gum disease, also known as gingivitis, is caused by millions of harmful bacteria contained in dental plaque. The bacteria produce poisons that can destroy your soft and hard tissues. That's why it's vital to remove the plaque as frequently and thoroughly as possible by regular brushing and flossing.
The good news is you can reverse and eliminate gum disease by beginning an excellent program of oral hygiene immediately. Your oral hygiene regimen should include:
- Brushing after meals and before bed
- Flossing at least once each day
Your oral hygiene regimen should also include visiting your dentist and hygienist in Westmont or Hickory Hills regularly for professional treatment. It's important to schedule an exam and x-rays at least once each year. Dr. Mrugala will carefully monitor your gums, supporting bone and teeth. You should also schedule a professional dental cleaning every six months. Your hygienist will remove hard and soft deposits on your teeth and monitor your gums.
Gum disease can progress to periodontal disease if left untreated. Periodontal disease attacks the supporting bone of your teeth and can result in tooth mobility or tooth loss.
Don't ignore your gum pain because it could be a sign of gum disease. If you think you might have gum disease, it's time to seek out the help of the experts. Call Dr. Mrugala with offices in Westmont, and Hickory Hills, IL, to help you. Call today!
When it comes to sugar and the health and wellbeing of our teeth and gums, less is definitely more. While indulging in a sweet snack from time to time won't necessarily lead to cavities or tooth decay, overconsumption of sugar is one of the leading causes of dental problems, and can increase the risk of gum disease over time.
The Relationship Between Gum Disease and Sugar
Most people know that the sugar found in candy, cakes, and sweetened drinks can lead to cavities if consumed in excess. But the relationship between oral bacteria, sugar from the foods we consume, and the acids that they produce play a key role in the formation of plaque and tartar buildup between the teeth and gums. When left untreated, it can cause gum inflammation and periodontal disease, which can ultimately lead to tooth loss in extreme cases.
Dr. Frederic Mrugala, a Westmont, IL based dentist, advises patients of all ages to pay attention to food labels and the sugar content of their favorite snacks. Substituting processed foods and snacks with fresh fruit, and candy with lower sugar counts (like dark chocolate instead of sweeter milk chocolate) can help to protect oral and general health.
Preventive Dentistry in Westmont, IL
Many people put off seeing a dentist until something goes wrong. But even with diligent oral hygiene practices at home and a healthy diet, regular check ups and cleanings (once every six months to a year, depending on the patient) are necessary to help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Find a Dentist in Westmont, IL
The best way to prevent oral health problems like tooth decay and gum disease is to avoid overly sugary food and drinks, and to practice good oral hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing and regular check ups and professional dental cleanings. Contact the office of Dr. Frederic Mrugala by calling 630-963-8680 to schedule an appointment today.

Santa Fe Reporter Reviews Eve-Lauryn LaFountain's Exhibition
Eve-Lauryn LaFountain may live in Los Angeles these days, but the Jewish and Turtle Mountain Chippewa multimedia artist grew up right here in Santa Fe. As an experimental filmmaker, photographer and all-around badass, LaFountain has shown her work in film fests, art markets, our own annual Indian Market and exhibitions all over the country, won awards like the Ebner International Trophy and all the while pushed her personal limits as a female multiethnic experimentalist. If that sounds impressive, it's because it straight up is.
LaFountain's current show at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, titled Waabanishimo (She Dances Till Daylight), finds her showcasing the juxtaposition between what is expected of her as a Native artist versus the reality and space she actually inhabits.

Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Excel versions: 2007, 2010, and 2013. If you are using an earlier version (Excel 2003 or earlier), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for earlier versions of Excel, click here: Character Limits for Cells.
by Allen Wyatt
(last updated March 25, 2019)
Carolyn describes a situation in which a coworker has a worksheet with large amounts of text in several cells. A few cells will not display all the text even with text wrapping and a smaller font selected.
It sounds as if this workbook is being displayed in Compatibility mode, meaning that it is in the older file formats supported by Excel. In versions of Excel before Excel 2007 there was a problem displaying everything that may be entered in a cell. While Excel allowed you to enter up to 32,767 characters in each cell, it would only display the first 1,024 characters of what was in the cell. In other words, if there is anything more than this in a cell (which could be likely in some circumstances), then it won't display; Excel pretended like it wasn't even there.
The easiest way to get around this problem is to save the workbook in Excel's native format, either XLSX or XLSM (depending on whether you have macros in the workbook or not). Save it in the desired format and reopen the workbook, and you should have no problem seeing everything in the cells.
The caveat here, of course, is that if you want to give the workbook to someone else who is using an older version of Excel, they won't be able to see all the text in the cells. In that case you might look at dividing up what is in the cells so there is less than about 1,000 characters in each cell.

I thought that Excel could accept only 255 characters per cell. How is this situation different than what his being discussed here.
2015-09-30 02:50:27
Using things like Avtivecell.formula=cell.formula+"XYZ" will insert the text to a cell but destroy the font formatting.
The only way to insert characters into a cell using VBA without destroying the font format of the already existing text is using activecell.characters(lastchar#).insert. And with this one you are limited to 256 characters. Probably something the programmers forgot to fix from Excel 2003.
Anyone with a tip how to perform this: Enter additional text to a cell without resetting the font formatting it has Prior to the text insert?

I have excel 2007 but I still run into a 255 character limit when I link cells. In other words I can type thousands of characters and line breaks (alt+enter) into a cell but it won't all appear in the linked cell. Is there a way around this? Thanks

Batia, Bulacan, Philippines
Our PEARLS kids had friendly competition today! For our Brain Booster, the kids were divided into groups and competed in making the most creative animal diorama.
Explained by our Brain Booster master Christine, kids can create a scenery with animals. The scenery is placed inside a box to make it look as though they've created a scene from a movie.
Once materials were passed out, everyone got busy in creating beautiful scenes together. Volunteers from LBC Foundation joined in on the fun too!
And here's our winners!
Thank you so much for sponsoring this day's feeding LBC Foundation!
Thank you also to all our volunteers for today.

The wonderfully animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, opened on Thursday, has already made a mark on the box office and on the Spider-Man universe. Early estimates show the film heading for $40 million in domestic ticket sales on opening weekend, according to Variety. On Thursday night, the film made up a whopping 83% of Fandango's opening tickets on mobile devices.
Spider-Verse tells the story of Afro-Latino teenager Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) who's bitten by a radioactive spider and discovers his new spidey powers. He takes a trip from his hometown of Brooklyn through multiple dimensions. Along the way, he gets a superhero crash course from other webslingers.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is Sony's seventh Spider-Man flick but first animated one and only featuring a Black Spider-Man. With animation like watching a comic book come to life, Spider-Verse is the perfect first film to follow the death and legacy of Spider-Man co-creator and Marvel mastermind and storyteller Stan Lee. Lee, who died last month at the age of 95, appears in what was his very last cameo. Lee's cameos had become expected gems in his movies. In a comic-book-like animated film about how anyone can be a hero, however, this cameo is possibly the most fitting. See Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in theaters now.
Here's a peep below of our interview with Shameik Moore (Miles Morales) and Jake Johnson (Peter Parker) about playing Spider-Men!

Time travel with me, please, to 1999. Your internet was probably dial up, America's greatest division was between N*Sync and Backstreet Boys fans, and Family Guy was brand new. The show's standout character, of course, was Stewie — a matricidal, hyper-intelligent, power-hungry baby. I would argue this was due to the fact that parents everywhere recognized Stewie's devious plotting in their own toddlers. In fact, I'd say they recognized the signs their toddler is planning for world domination, too, and were like, "Heh. Someone else sees it, too? Whoa."
Make no mistake: toddlers have plans to rule over us all, and they know WTF they are doing. Why hasn't it happened yet, you ask? Because they are biding their time; collectively waiting for us to be at our weakest; patiently awaiting the perfect moment to strike, and then a bunch of them age out of their ambitions and the next generation of toddlers takes over. It's a kind of holding pattern at the moment, but mark my words, the end is nigh.
In fact, so much of what we think of as normal toddler development, I would argue, are actually telltale signs that your wee one has decided that the world needs to unify under a single banner: theirs. They're subtly warning you that any and all dissidents shall be crushed beneath their size five booties. (OK maybe that's a stretch, but it makes a lot of sense, you guys.)
They're Between 15 And 42 Months Old
It just kind of comes with the territory, really. You don't even have to ask. Do you have a toddler? Watch out. They are, by their very nature and through no fault of their own, conquerors. They view themselves as the natural owners of all they survey and they will not rest until everyone around them recognizes their God-given right to possess.
They've Really Started Talking
Now, developmental psychologists, doctors, and anthropologists will tell you this is just a natural stage in human development to enable us to communicate more effectively with one another. No. False. Nice try, doc.
This is an adaptation born of toddler's desire to rule the world: you can't rule the world if the peasants cannot understand your orders. (Well, you could, and I am convinced non-verbal toddlers also have designs on global supremacy, but it's definitely going to be a bit harder. Still, I've no doubt their tenacity and grit will shine through and we will all bow to their will someday.) Toddlers talk so they can organize, plan, promulgate edicts, and make rousing but terrifying speeches to keep the masses in line.
Their Physical High Jinks Are Getting More Daring
Again, doctors will tell you this is just children naturally become more coordinated and getting a better handle on their fine and gross motor skills. But this is because they're training. If you'e going to mastermind a coup, you need to be in peak physical form. They're basically in training.
They Always Want Food
Ever notice that when you give your toddler an apple they take a bite, leave it, and then ask for another apple five minutes later? You probably think it's annoying and maybe even a little funny, then chalk it up to them being finicky or whatever. Nope.
You see, when you're not looking they are taking that food and storing it to feed their secret massive army. For on the Day of Reckoning, their troops will need to be well-fed.
They've Started Making Friends (And Enemies)
"Isn't it so cute?" you say to a fellow toddler parent as your child and theirs giggle and build a sandcastle together. "Totally," they reply. "It's amazing how they're starting to move from parallel play to collaborative games."
Oh foolish, naive other parent. Those aren't games. What you are witnessing is basically the toddler version of one of the back room plotting scenes in Game of Thrones. Those toddlers are coming up with machinations and chicanery the likes of which you couldn't possibly imagine. Those toddlers are either forming a powerful alliance or vowing the raze the other's dreams to the ground and dance in the ashes.
They are also probably discussing Frozen. They may be ruthless conquerors, but they're also toddlers.
They Have Elaborate Conversations With Their Toys
You may think that's just your little artiste's burgeoning imagination, but not really. Those toys (and any household pets, by the way) are actually part of their spy network, gathering information for your tiny future dictator. The conversations you are hearing are debriefs. Why else do you think they're so intense?
So. Much. Backtalk.
They have spent almost two goddamn years under the oppressive yolk of your totalitarian regime and they are sick to death of it. You are not the boss of them, and they need you to know that. Ultimately this is a kindness: when their revolution is successful you'll be used to their rule.
They're Constant Running
Because they're getting ready to lead a charge. As many as it takes. Don't hold them back, for they are running toward their destiny...
They've Becoming Extremely Demanding
My toddler's favorite phrase lately is "right now." I have no idea where she got this from and I have to believe this is just one of the ways her world domination tendencies present themselves in daily life. A toddler's imperious, and unrelenting demands are exacting and precise. They know what they want, they now know how to ask for (nay, insist on) what they want, and we are going to give it to them, come Hell or high water.
They Have Charisma For Days
Because can you truly be a megalomaniacal world leader without a healthy dash of charisma? Toddlers are adorable and charming AF, and they know this will serve them well in coming (and holding on) to power.
They've Been Reading A Lot Of Sun Tzu's 'The Art Of War'
I mean, dead giveaway right there. You might want to take that away, not only to dissuade your would-be potentate from ruling the world, but you know how quickly a toddler can destroy books. Maybe there's a board book version, perhaps?
