With Takahashi especially here, we're starting to reach people who have quite a few digital single releases. This is a bit of a pain for various reasons. Without a physical release there's usually no official discography pages to check for solid details. No product code used for a release that makes it easy to look for more information with Google. No possibility that anyone has looked at the packaging for more details and put that online anywhere, because the packaging doesn't exist. Just from a site standpoint, it makes things a bit uglier--Takahashi's 5 digital singles released as part of the Hello Cover series have only 2 covers between them, and introduce 5 new entries to the album list, each with a whopping one track. Since they're specifically covers, they also tend to have names that are already in use, so it might help to cause confusion for someone who doesn't know what release they're looking for.

Indulge in the most delicious holiday menus in Lan Kwai Fong
Christmas Indulgences
It's true what they say, Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of year. Even if you don't celebrate, it's a great excuse to gather with friends and stuff yourself with delicious food. Read on to find the Lan Kwai Fong guide to the best menus and parties this season, and make sure to tag your photos with #LKF for a chance to be featured on our monthly food roundup.
Celebrate the holidays in style at this sexy modern steakhouse. Executive Chef Angelo Vecchio and his team has prepared an opulent five-course Christmas feast this year. It starts with a creamy burrata, served with Oscietra caviar and melon; followed by your choice of either a hearty chestnut soup or a 'Mayura' Wagyu beef tartare. Next up is a pan-fried foie gras, and then your choice of mains, but we vote for this gorgeous Christmas turkey leg roulade. For dessert, an adorable vanilla mousse aptly named 'Santa Claus'.
The Porterhouse Christmas Set Dinner is available 24-25 December, 2018, for HK$888 per person. Optional wine pairings are available for an additional HK$388 per person.
7/F, California Tower, 30-32 D'Aguilar Street, Central; +852 2522 6366

Kyoto Joe
Sushi and robatayaki may not be your traditional Christmas fare, but maybe they should be. Kyoto Joe, one of our favourite Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong, serves up the freshest sushi, sashimi, rolls and perfectly cooked dishes from the Robatayaki grill. This Christmas, they've created a mouth-watering feast of Japanese favourites. It starts with a light seafood Hiyayako— chopped toro, salmon roe and sea urchin on a bed of chilled tofu— and slowly gets more robust, with plates of sushi and even a robatayaki of teriyaki boneless beef ribs. The meal finishes with a cleansing yasai udon, and an indulgent crème brûlée.
The Kyoto Joe Christmas Menu is available for groups of two or more from 24 – 25 December, 2018 and is HK$490 per person.

Tokio Joe
Another tempting option this Christmas is Lan Kwai Fong's original Japanese restaurant, Tokio Joe. Chef Wah brings a festive touch to this traditional venue with a Jolly Christmas Menu, an eight-course extravaganza that shouldn't be missed. Whet the appetite with an appetizer trio of spicy salmon tempura, crab leg and abalone, before tucking into Hamachi, sashimi, sushi and more. Personally, we love the sound of the kelp-grilled sea bass, but the Wagyu tataki tartare is equally appealing.
The Tokio Joe Jolly Christmas Menu is available for group of two or more, only on 24 December, 2018. The menu is HK$750 per person.

Come hungry and celebrate with friends over this delicious set and a bottle or two of sparkling sake.

Topped with a mini wreath and faux berries to complete the look, this is an easy way to slide into the holiday spirit. Another favourite is The Winter Clover. Another Monkey 47 Gin creation, this one is fresh and bright with raspberry liqueur, raspberry puree, lemon juice, egg white Bols White Crème de Cacao and a splash of soda water.

Shakespears Sister slam Spotify over 'disposable' music culture
Shakespears Sister has slammed streaming services like Spotify for devaluing music.
Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit reunited as a duo for the first time in more than two-and-a-half decades earlier this year (19), to tour and record new material.
However, they are disappointed with the state of the modern music industry, and blame the rise of streaming for reducing the value people place on music.
"Everyone expects everything for nothing these days, including art," Fahey tells British magazine Music Week. "I miss the days in the '70s when we didn't have so much. You had to save up for weeks to buy a single. Things were more precious then. The horrible mountain of disposable bulls**t, it's devalued everything."
The band's return has boosted their monthly listens on Spotify from 90,000 to more than 220,000, but Detroit is unhappy with the way bosses at the streaming giant work out royalties, as she believes they are opaque to artists.
"I went for a meeting with Spotify a few years ago," she says. "A bunch of artists were invited to ask them to explain how we actually get paid and what they said was vague. 'We collect all this money, it comes into a pool, we disperse it to the record companies and they are responsible for giving it to the artists…' Well, wait a minute, how do we know what we're getting? They couldn't really give a proper answer…"
Despite their misgivings about the state of modern music, the duo is planning to release a new EP later this year.

Today marks an important day for The Cross and the Dragon, my debut novel about Alda, a young early medieval noblewoman who must contend with a vengeful jilted suitor and the anxiety her beloved husband will die in battle. I am reintroducing my first book baby to the world, clad in a beautiful new cover created by talented graphic artist and my friend Jessica Kerkhoff.
When the rights to both my books reverted to me, I was determined to make them available to readers again. I had invested too much of my time, my effort, and myself to do otherwise. I decided to go indie because I wanted to release The Cross and the Dragon on my terms.
And you, the readers, encouraged me. If I am to believe the reviews on Amazon and Goodreads—and why shouldn't I?—most people who've read the book loved it. To those of you who read the novel when it was previously published, thank you. If you wrote a review, you have my undying gratitude. And if you meant to get a copy, but never quite got around to it, here's your chance.
To celebrate my novel's new life, I'm giving away a signed paperback to one lucky U.S. resident, thanks to Goodreads (check out the widget below). At the same time, I'm giving away one ebook in the format of your choice in the form of a 100 percent off coupon from Smashwords. The ebook giveawy is open internationally from now until September 5, 2016.

TextExpander Calendar Snippets
Production Note: On Wednesday afternoons for the past nineteen weeks I have been posting some useful TextExpander snippets. Sadly this is going to be the last post that I will make as part of the regular series. I will still contribute to my TextExpander tip section, just not on a weekly basis.
This week post is all about 'Back to Basics.' I created some essential calendar snippets in TextExpander to make some routine tasks a bit easier.
Month Names Group
Simplify your typing by having a TextExpander Group containing snippets that expand to display the name of a particular month. So instead of typing November, you type in m.11 and to display February simply type in 'm.2'
Week Name Groups
At the end of every week, I start planning my blog content strategy for the following week. I usually start by listing out each day of the week and figuring out what the topic of the day will be. Setting up a snippet list of week names is an easy way to get things in motion.
I then take the topics and insert the ideas into 'Remember the Milk' and assign the due dates.
Take action
You can download the 'Month' group that I create so that you can implant my suggestion to your TextExpander library. Thanks to Natraj Obrien for the download idea!

Feel free to leave a comment about this post.
Latin Dictionary as a Random Source
If your doing any type of QA testing and looking for a good random word or phrase, why not use a different dictionary source? In one of my TextExpander snippets, I am generating a random word using a modified version of the Latin dictionary. My modified latin dictionary has 111,097 words whereas the original source file had 1,243,950 words. That would cause a serious performance issue dealing with that many words.
My filtered file doesn't include a lot of the small or very large words. My data source has words between 6 and 7 letters. Yes, in the latin dictionary there are 111,000 words that are in that range.
Get the Current Latin Dictionary File
You can download the large list over on WinEdt Dictionaries. The site has all sorts of dictionary collections to use a random text generator.
There are all sorts of random word generators that can be used with TextExpander. This Perl script was tested against many popular methods and was found to have the best performance with a large data source:
#! /bin/bash
perl -e '$dict = "/Users/deicerem/dict/wordstream.txt"; $bytes= -s $dict; open IN, $dict;seek(IN,rand($bytes-11),0);$_=
;$_= ;print'
Update the path and filename to whatever data source that you have.

Today I want to present my project about how Disney films show masucliity in almost all Disney movies and the four types of masculinity.i want to give everyone the idea of how disney have shaped and influenecesx the idea of masculinity,feminisxm and gender roles in young kids . Disney has many films in ehich thy show masuclinyt, feminicism and gender roles and often include violence,sexist relationships, and show dominance to show power. And often many young kids imitate these characteristics and grow up with them and even feel uncomfortable or f eel less than the rest of the young boys when they realizr that they don't have these characteristics.
As we all grew up we remember watching a lot of Disney movies and remember most of the characters and the stories. For young boys there was such films such as lion king,toy story,ect and for young girls there are many princess stories like Cinderella, Pocahontas,little mermaid, etc.
but does anybody wonder or think about how Disneys ideas of masculinity have affected the men of today or will affect the man of tomorrow? We often think or remember about the princesses finding their own prince charming and how the male has certain characteristics that show authority and power, well, this one of the many things that Disney have made us believe and we grew up with this idea.but for my project, I wanredto be specific and wanted to focus more on masculimty and the four types of masculinity that Disney uses as well as sexism in films.
I want to start by giving a definition of masculiny, according to Wikipedia, "masculity is a set of qualities, characteristics or roles generally considered typical of, or appropriate to, a man. It can have degrees of comparison: "more masculine", "most masculine'" A male can be admired for having certain characteristics and acting like a man or he can feel responible or even humiliated for not being manly enough. As time passes we have seen how society has questioned masculitny and what defines it, there has been a lot of research about this topic. There has been many research about masculinity, one of those research was made from Eisler and Skidmore. While doing the research they have come up with the idea of 'masculine stress'. And found three mechanisms of masculinity that accompany masculine gender role and often result in emotional stress. Those three mechanisms are: The emphasis on prevailing in situations requiring body and fitness, Being perceived as emotional, and the The need to feel adequate in regard to sexual matters and financial status. For most men, the idead of masculinity has become a fear for most men because it has become more challenging.
Disney often has shown four different types of mascutliunt and I want to briefly talk about each one of them. The first type of masculinyt is the"subordinate male". The subordinate male is when
Out of all of the Disney movies out there,I want to specigfivally talk about Beauty and the beast,and I want to demonstrate how this disny film shows masculinity and feminismt and is known be different from other Disney movies.

India has always been an astrological society but at some point of time in the early part of the 20th century, the educated began to develop a certain distaste for this ancient science, largely because of the educational system in the country which distanced itself from the traditional branches of learning under a mistaken notion that by doing so, it was proving its rational credentials. However astrology being as good a science as any other of the modern ones, has stood the test of time and in recent years has made a resurgent reappearance as a result of my revered father, Father of Modern Astrology, the Late Dr. B. V. Raman's relentless efforts to propagate it as an academic subject. Astrology has now captured the interest of large segments of the educated public. The wave of resurgence has swept away this pseudo-rationalist resistance bringing with it the realization of the invaluable role astrology can play in helping cope with the ills of modern society. There has been some kind of snowballing effect in educated circles, both in our own country as well as in the west, primarily the United States of America, in their eagerness to retrieve, revive and restore Jyotish to its pristine glory. The ancient classical works on the subject are now being eagerly lapped up but the problem begins because of the times when the astrological rules were first formulated being so different from our own. The author has made effort to adapt and apply these rules in the form of dicta, Yogas and combinations to contemporary life in the process seeking to bridge the gap between the ancient rules and their applicational value to the present.Printed Pages: 336.

Just wondering where you can buy liquid cooling units for your processor and video card, or has someone got some links to some websites.
No announcement yet.
Liquid Cooling
new posts
Re: Liquid Cooling
In my old system, I had a BigWater stuck on a 3000+ newie (2.22ghz) and a 6600GT (596/1050mhz).
With an ambient of 26C, rad fan on 7 volts, the CPU would load at 42C, and the videocard @ 56C.
With the cool n quiet feature on the A64, I could run it passive (rad fan disconnected) whilst just doing stuff in windows, or on the internet.
The bigwater was only really good for it's low temps @ near stock speeds and low noise. Would be crap for SERIOUS overclocking!
Re: Liquid Cooling
With those temperatures, it's worse than a lot, maybe most air cooling. Newcastles aren't the best, but they aren't bad either. Last night my friend and I put together his socket 939 system with an Athlon 64 3000. We used the stock heatsink and the stock thermal compound. I took it to 2.45GHz at 1.55v and it loads around 48c and idles around 44c with ambients around 24c. The video card (6600GT) was at 54c before OCing.Last edited by Yawgm0th; 01-02-2006, 08:47 AM.
Re: Liquid Cooling
I'm staying away from H2O for the time being, and trying to sell all my BigWater crap. My system should be fine for a year or so at stock speeds.
Re: Liquid Cooling
As a general rule, those all-in-one wonder kits are only good if you do normal productivity/surfing type activities. Water is pretty safe nowadays, but as long as you understand the basics it isn't too difficult to get something good working. I've been on water for a couple of years now and love it. Fan noise never really bothered me until I got rid of 90% of it, now it doesn't have a place in my systems.
If you decide to get serious about water, make sure to use at least 1/2" OD tubing so the water flow is great enough to be able to effectively remove the heat from your components. Make sure you get a pump that cranks out the pressure so you can take full advantage of the fat tubing. From there you just have to know what order to hook up your water components for maximum efficiency and to let the entire water system run for about 24 hours outside the case to make sure it won't leak. Don't bother spending extra money on these solutions that are supposedly non-conductive. Most are not and the ones that are usually don't have the same cooling abilities as distilled water and an anti-corrosive additive.
If you have questions, just ask and I'll help where I can.
Re: Liquid Cooling
I second www.frozencpu.com . Much more selection than xoxide.
Darthtanion, did you mean 1/2" ID??
I know that wall thickness varies, even within the same brand. I went with 3/8ID 5/8OD tygon, but if you did mean 1/2" ID...would I see a benefit from swapping? <u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p>
I've got reservoir->MCP650->DD BI Xtreme III->DD RBX->DD Chipset->reservoir
Eventually I may want to get my 7800GTX watercooled as well and would add it after the CPU block. <o:p></o:p>
I have the radiator and pump in a custom built aluminum frame along with 3 stealth fans and a dedicated mini power supply(out of an external HDD enclosure) which sits under my CPU (I have a corner CPU desk where the CPU is in the middle, under the monitor).
I do overclock to whatever the hardware will take while keeping stability.
Re: Liquid Cooling
Sorry, you're correct in the ID tubing size. My mind wanders sometimes in my old age.
As to your water pattern, it looks good from I can tell but I am not familiar with the Danger Den model numbers you use. As a rule, you want your pump fed directly from your reservior. If you have a radiator as well, it should feed into the reservoir. This means that the water in the reservoir is the coolest in the system and will be fed to your heat-producing components. As a rule, I generally recommend cooling to the processor, then the GPU(s), and finally to the chipset if you use a chipset cooler. This allows the most critical components to get the coolest water running through the system. The added reservoir will keep the volume of water at a level where it can be reasonably cooled before being recirculated through the system. Some may argue the order of cooled components, but I've found that this method always gives exceptional results and allows for good overclocking over air.
Re: Liquid Cooling
this is what i have and its pretty good for overclocking. if you want to overclock w/e you want to the max, i suggest that you go with water cooling. and of you want to overclock a little go for a good heatsink.

Re: Liquid Cooling
If you want cheap, get a Thermalright XP-90 and a decent fan. That will outperform all cheap all in one water setups and almost every other heatsink on the market. If you go water, listen to Darthtanion. 1/2" ID or larger is the only way to go. I had a setup with 1/2" OD tubing and my XP-90 outperforms it. You may even want to wait for a few months as OCZ is threatening to put out Phase CHange unit for under $300. That is the ultimate in cooling.GIgabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

Tough and Enough by Michele Albert, copyright 2007. I'm afraid that me and Ms. Albert will have to part ways. The plot and theme of the story seems to fall under the umbrella of a rekindled love story with an art heist. Sigh. I guess this is a popular theme for romantic suspense novels. It was tough enough to make it to chapter seven before calling it quits. Yeah, it was pretty bad and I was excited to read this book, too. Since I didn't read it all, I'll only comment and grade what I've read.
The plot of the story is unoriginal to me but it held promise. However authors certainly can turn something unoriginal into something unique. The story opens and we are introduced to Will Tierney, our hero of the day, as he is arriving from yet another assignment to meet his boss and CEO of Avalon, Ben Sheridan. Avalon is a organization that has secret operatives placed all over the country. Avalon enforces laws of a criminal nature especially art theft and luxury goods because local law enforcement has other things on their plate like murder and more serious crimes to keep them busy. Ben usually keeps up with his operatives through email or phone. Assignments are handed down to his best people and information about their mission is sent by courier to wherever they are stationed. Crash courses are given for anything that is lacking for their operatives. Avalon hasn't been in business for 100 years by sheer luck alone. Avalon trains and disperses agents who are the best in the world. Will Tierney is a well seasoned operative and he is the best that Avalon has to offer for this next assignment. We get to see Will use his talent and skills to investigate and eventually thwart a bogus art transaction while he gets the girl.
Will is sent to Boston, New York disguised as a mild-mannered journalist writing for some Antiques magazine–sans glasses. His assignment is to investigate a company called Haddington Reproductions who has been commissioned by a third party to legally replicate artwork from some expensive art collection called the Eudoxia Reliquary. Rumors from Rome suggest that some Byzantine art will be hitting the black market soon and the Eudoxia collection was mentioned. Will is sent to Boston to investigate the owner and his two employees Vanessa Sharpton and Mia Dolan. The CEO of Avalon failed to inform Will of one tiny bit of information and that is that his former girlfriend may be a suspect in his current assignment. This proves to be problematic but useful for him.
That's pretty much the plot. Now, what didn't work for me, you ask? Let's start with the romance. I have a personal bias against rekindled love stories – I don't much care for them. There's a disadvantage to reading about a couple who already have baggage. I just don't care for the drama and the rehashing of the past. Mia Dolan is a jewelry and metal's expert at Haddington Reproductions. She just so happens to be reminiscing about the one who got away with her friend Vanessa when we meet her. Isn't it just a coincidence that she should see Will Tierney again? All I could do is shake my head and ask why? Why? What would have really been neat was that Will would have taken up with Vanessa but unfortunately he still has the warm fuzzies for Mia. Will and Mia's history is pretty fucked up. Mia broke up with Will by cheating on him. I don't really consider that a spoiler since it's no big secret. And the author certainly didn't help Will's image none by writing a scene with him crying over it. I mean with snot and tears. Anyway, Will and Mia seem to reconnect despite the 12 years that yawned between them along with some hurt feelings that's still attached. Here's the problem: their chemistry seems rather forced. Another problem: Will is more than willing to use Mia to get what he wants. His feelings like many of the heroes in romance tend to fluctuate: I like her, no I love her, no, I will not get involved, I'll just disappear, wait!-I love you.
As for the suspense part: weak and funny. I'm sure Ms. Albert didn't write a comedy but you could have fooled me. Will's detective skills were quite laughable. He asks questions that aren't all that discreet. To me he sticks out like a sore thumb. Here's a couple of scenes that showcases Will's sensitive side:
If she was guilty, he'd still do the job he'd come here to do, personal feelings aside. If she was innocent, there'd be no harm. Maybe her feelings would be hurt when he suddenly disappeared, but she'd get over it.
"Karma," Will muttered, getting into his car. "And payback's a bitch, baby."
Whatta guy. Here's yet another scene:
Will watched and memorized the security code Mia entered. As soon as she went off to make a pot of coffee, he jotted the sequence down in his notepad. Too easy. Obviously it had never occurred to her that letting him watch her open the door was a breach of security. He wanted to believe it meant she was innocent but knew better than to rely on that alone.
I admit she should have been more discreet but these people are just making Will's job all too easy. I guess that playboy image he cultivated works: it makes all the women and men around him fall for his charm and wit. Makes them tell all their deep, dark secrets and fall under his powerful powers of persuasion. Whatever. Anyway, I hope you all have better luck than I did. The story had a sound plot but it just wasn't executed well. The writing felt disjointed. The dialogue was stilted. The chemistry between the protagonists was a joke. The suspense was pretty weak. Lastly, I didn't much like Will Tierney. Didn't think he made a good operative. Not even a decent guy I'd like to have coffee with either. Up to chapter seven, this book gets a D. Other works by Ms. Albert that I've enjoyed if your interested in reading her books, I suggest you read All Night Long, A Great Catch or Off Limits. Part of me just can't believe Ms. Albert wrote this book and it's been too long since she wrote a book that I enjoyed reading.

Not every bride-to-be has been dreaming of walking down the aisle in a fluffy white dress since she was a little girl. If this rings a bell, then you're suffering from anti-bridal symptoms. Here's how to deal.
If the thought of going into a big name bridal shop and trying on traditional gowns makes you break out in hives, than you should avoid them at all costs. Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City (who did in fact break out when trying on a gown during the TV series) and pick out a simple off-the-rack outfit you will feel comfortable and attractive wearing. It doesn't have to be white. It doesn't have to be formal and it doesn't have to be designer. It's your anti-wedding, so pick out a style that suits you.
Ask a friend to photograph the wedding. Use your iPod if you can't find a DJ on short notice. Create your own invitations and then, just show up to say 'I do'. Since you're not too concerned about the frills, you won't have to spend forever needlessly stressing over the plans. As long as you say your "I Do's," there's not much else to worry about.
Change the Dress Code: Break Away From the DJ: Not everyone loves to dance, so don't feel obliged to have a DJ or band. Provide entertainment that you will enjoy, even if it's not the norm. If you have a theme, you can match the entertainment to the theme. Examples include belly dancing, break dancing, a jazz sax player, old movie film clips and music, trivia games, casino games, video games, singers, magicians, or any type of competition. Laser tag, anyone?
Pick one or more non-traditional wedding ideas and work them into different aspects of your wedding. You will end up with a truly unusual day that all your guests will remember. Most importantly, it will be uniquely yours.

HUNDREDS turned out to pay tribute to our war heroes in remembrance day services across the district.
Wreath laying ceremonies took place in Wilmslow, Handforth, Alderley Edge and Styal, 60 years on from the end of the Second World War.
Leading the parades were the town's own war veterans, with polished medals gleaming in the midday sun.
They were supported by civic leaders, scouts, guides, Royal British Legion members and civilians as they led the traditional silences at the town's war memorials.
Deputy Mayor, Councillor Jim Crockatt, laid the first wreath in Wilmslow's memorial gardens as the Queen's representative.
He said: "Remembrance Sunday is particularly important this year as we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII.
"This a good time to remember those who served in that war and particularly those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. We owe a very great debt to that generation as it is because of them that we have the freedom and democracy we enjoy today."
More than 120 children from the scouts, guides, cubs and brownies swelled the ranks at Handforth's service, making it one of the best ever said organiser and standard bearer, Malcolm Key.
"We brought the youngsters into the service more and it was lovely, The church was so packed that people had to stand outside," he said.
The Clan Urquhart Pipe band joined the parade and the ceremony was followed by the annual Poppy Concert, featuring comedians and songs from the era to raise money for the benevolent appeal.
In Styal, Alan Higham sounded the moving tune 'The Last Post' on the bugle during the twenty minute service, led by Rev Ruth Jackson. A wreath was laid by Royal Navy veteran Frank Hewitt, of Holly Lane.
And the award winning Alderley Scout band kept tune with marchers in Alderley who paraded through the village from Festival Hall to St Philip's Church, pausing at the cenotaph to lay a wreath.

Cantex expands spectacular North Rackla
Mining Explorers 2019 – Published Nov. 1, 2019
Last updated 8/14/2020 at 9:23am
Cantex Mine Development Corp. is focused on expanding massive sulfide zones on its North Rackla property in the Yukon that are rich in zinc, lead, manganese and silver.
Located about 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) north of ATAC Resources Ltd.'s Rackla Gold property, North Rackla is a relatively new discovery.
Prospecting, sampling and trenching from 2014-16 showed the potential of the Discovery zone at North Rackla but the real excitement began with the spectacular mineralization tapped during the 2018 drilling into a new zone known as Extension.
Highlights from this drilling include: 9.19 meters averaging 18.04 percent zinc, 8.09 percent lead, 3.67 percent manganese and 150.6 g/t silver; 7.1 meters of 23.12 percent zinc, 6.04 percent lead, 1.58 percent manganese and 158 g/t silver; and 9.3 meters of 10.97 percent zinc, 7.33 percent lead, 4.7 percent manganese and 122.6 g/t silver.
Following the outstanding success of the 2018 drill program, Cantex raised C$15 million to fund 2019 exploration at North Rackla.
This included roughly 17,000 meters of drilling primarily focused on Massive Sulphide, a 2,400-meter-long zone that encompasses the Discovery and Extension subzones.
In a step toward the company's goal of defining a world-class zinc-lead-silver deposit, much of this drilling focused on testing a 1,000-meter section of this zone to a depth of up to 550 meters.
In order to determine the exact location of the massive sulfide mineralization, Cantex Mine Development completed ground-based geophysics – gravity, electromagnetic, resistivity and magnetic – over the Massive Sulphide zone prior to drilling.
The company also completed an airborne geophysical survey over the area during the summer months.
The results from these surveys were used to fine tune the drill program, especially in the glacial till covered area between Discovery and Extension, as well as test areas at the extremities of the mineralized zone.
With three drills turning, Cantex tested Massive Sulphide with around 75 holes. Elsewhere on the North Rackla property, drills tested a zone of anomalous soil and rock samples parallel to the Massive Sulphide zone and recently discovered gold mineralization at the north end of the claim block.
Prospecting, rock sampling and trenching of the gold mineralized area, which outcrops over a 120- by 150-meter area, have returned results as high as 15.75 g/t gold, 377 g/t silver, 32.5 percent zinc and 11 percent lead.
Cantex' exploration at North Rackla continues to draw strong investor interest, witnessed by an oversubscribed C$12 million private placement financing in August that included the issuance of 1.08 million charity flow-through shares at C$6.53 per share and 824,000 flow-through shares at C$6 per share.

2018 / Performance; Installation / Variable Dimensions
The first step: The installation was a social occasion prior to the opening of the 'official' exhibition. A waitress served a plate of fresh carrots with dirt. When she served the carrot, she whispered to the visitor: "Please bite the carrots as quietly as possible." The second step: In the middle of the exhibition, the audience was asked to move outside the gallery to watch an opera performer singing a song through the gallery window. The third step: People returned to the gallery and were invited to eat the carrot that was hanging from the ceiling. They were not permitted to use their hands, but if they could not reach it, they were allowed to jump, but had to jump quietly.

This substance resembles sodium glutamate E621, and it is an additive that almost all foods, especially those often used in restaurants contain. This additive is added to the foods so that their flavor is intensified.
This substance is similar to both salt and sugar because of its crystalline powdery form. The aqueous solution of this substance tastes like soup with meat. Sodium glutamate can be used for any food. This substance contributes to increased appetite, overeating, and obesity. It has a similar effect as a drug as it triggers the cells in the brain. Sodiumglutamate easily penetrates into the blood and the brain and contributes to a change in the genes, in the area responsible for the sense of taste.
Sodium glutamate is found in all types of sausages, salami, chips, frankfurters, cans, soups, beer, and a large list of other foods. The safe amount an adult should take in is 1.5 grams a day, and the safe amount a child should take in on a daily basis is less than half a gram. This substance is nowadays being used in enormous quantities, about 200 thousand tons a year on a worldly basis. If one experiences an overdose of E621, one will struggle with dizziness, migraines, visual disturbances, hormonal imbalance, nausea, weakness, pain in the chest, etc.
Back in 1907, Ikeda Kikunae from Japan conducted an experiment and it was revealed that this substance boosts the taste of food.
Not only does sodium glutamate boost the natural flavor of all ingredients, but it also boosts the taste and the aroma of fastfood, and of canned and frozen products.
While the researchers were conducting this experiment, they were adding sodium glutamate in the food they were giving to the mice, and the mice lost their eyesight as a result.
Another negative consequence of this substance is that it also impacts the receptors of the tongue, which in turn results in exacerbation of the perception of food.
Frequently, people cannot stop eating the unhealthy, harmful foods like chips, chocolates, soups, and other foods, because of the presence of sodium glutamate which makes the fooddelicious.
This substance has been proven to cause addiction, which explains why producers like to use it in the food they make, as it increases the sale of their products.
Food manufacturers make profit from using E621, as thissupplement not only does increase the sales, but it also reduces the production costs and serves for 'covering' the low quality of the goods and the products.
People should be more cautious when choosing and buying foodand always pay attention to the information written on the package of the product.
You should only use natural spices for cooking!

The first-ever PLRB Technology & Claims Symposium debuted in Frisco, Texas to a fantastic turnout.
Contractors, adjusters, insurance carriers and other service providers swarmed the Embassy Suites Frisco Hotel and Convention Center searching for the latest trends in property losses and restoration to report back to their colleagues.
Geomni picked up on the buzz from attendees walking the expo hall and sitting in on adjuster or management-focused sessions. The general consensus was that with more insurtech startups continuing to enter the arena, the insurance industry's main challenge is trying to keep up with all of the emerging technology.
The best way to combat this? Embrace the solutions that integrate into existing workflows.
Too often, adoption rates suffer when companies try to incorporate solutions that don't blend with anything else or silo systems from one another.
Geomni presented on this very topic both days of the show, demonstrating how integration with Xactimate® and Geomni™ Image-to-Scope helps both contractors and adjusters seamlessly build scope item lists.
The newer solutions may be shiny and cutting-edge, but your best chance of success lies with the ones that fit smoothly into your current ecosystem.

Giant tractor is back where it belongs after 25 years
A Ford TW35 tractor named 'Big Blue' has returned home to Holsworthy after almost a quarter of a century.
The four-wheel drive was bought new by Kenvyn Furse in 1986 and was then the largest Ford tractor ever retailed in Devon and Cornwall.
He sold it to a Shropshire buyer when it had 3,600 miles on the clock, but now 84, he always said he regretted the sale and would regale his grandchildren with tales of the big blue beast.
Then, by chance, last year his son Luke and grandson Lloyd went to buy a Claas Lexion 450 combine harvester from Rodney Cowle Machinery.
Amazingly, a TW35 SuperQ with Furse on the log book had just passed through.
A deal was struck with collector Robin Sanders and 'Big Blue' came home.
Kenvyn cannot stop talking about this truly remarkable find as he never thought he would see his beloved TW again – which even now only shows 5,245 hours and is still on its original rear tyres.

Over two seconds for a spell that is not incredibly powerful to begin with seems off to me. Have I missed blizzard's explanation as to the justification? Again, this is just me thinking out loud.

Here's the First Commercial Matthew McConaughey Has Directed for Wild Turkey
Actor is serving as a creative director on the whiskey brand
If you were expecting some enjoyably nonsensical philosophizing to suddenly liven up the bourbon category now that Matthew McConaughey is Wild Turkey's creative director—well, his first directorial effort for the brand probably isn't as wild as you were hoping.
The spot, posted below, is perfectly serviceable, if rather generic. As in most alcohol ads, there's the bar scene, the close-up of the perfect pour and the implication that you'll have a better night if you drink this drink.
It is nicely shot, though, for what it is. And it's probably a bit much to expect the Oscar winner to shake up the tried-and-true format with something more daring.
There are touches that feel different from the typical work, like McConaughey's decision to use New Orleans' Hot 8 Brass Band and to set the scene in a jazz club rather than a thumping dance club.
There's also about two full seconds where McConaughey, pleased that his Wild Turkey has been served to him, replies to a waitress with a long "Aaaaaahhhh." Delivered by anyone else, it would be irritating, but from McConaughey it works.
"So many times people choose their drinks to fit in and join the crowd," he says in a statement. "Wild Turkey is about something different. The tagline 'It'll find you' is at the heart of what Wild Turkey is all about. If you are being yourself, unapologetically doing things your own way, then you are at home wherever you are, and Wild Turkey, well, it'll find you."
The campaign, from J. Walter Thompson in New York and RSA Films in Los Angeles, was shot in Southern California.
"Matthew perfectly embodied, both on screen and behind the camera, the uncompromising spirit of the brand," said Brent Choi, chief creative officer of JWT N.Y. "His unique background brought us refreshing insight and direction that led to a wonderful creative collaboration."

The Whistleblower Summit & Film Festival is the intersection between media, politics, culture and entertainment. Whistleblower stories (books and movies) are as American as apple pie. Come to the only Washington, DC film festival with event on Capitol Hill. Rub elbows with famous whistleblowers like Frank Serpico and Jeff Wigand or meet political leaders like Senator Charles Grassley, Representative Elijah Cummings and "Jonestown" survivor, Representative Jackie Speier. There is not free press without news sources. There can be no Congressional oversight without government informants. Whistleblowers are the "Fifth Estate" protecting freedom and liberty.
Over the last twelve years members from the Make it Safe Coalition (MISC) have arranged an assembly of whistleblowers in Washington, DC each year for an annual conference originally known as Washington Whistleblower's Week. During that time members of the Make it Safe Coalition have passed thirteen laws, including No FEAR and the WPEA, conducted congressional lobby days, provided Continuing Legal Education training, written Op-Eds, published magazines and books, hosted radio shows, provided mentoring and lawyer referrals, penned sign-on letters, submitted amicus briefs, written columns and law review articles, made television appearances, produced plays / theatrical productions, showcased a film series, held protest rallies at the White House and on the National Mall. Whistleblowers have even "occupied" government agencies and hosted both national and regional conferences in: Washington (DC), New York (NY), Baltimore (MD), Atlanta (GA), Chicago (IL), Houston (TX), Los Angeles (CA) and Little Rock (AR). ACORN 8 and the host committee are proud to announce the theme for the Whistleblower Summit this year is True North—Persevering in the Pursuit of Justice
The Whistleblower Summit includes historic panel discussions with distinguished authors of whistleblower books followed by film screenings of "Pillar Award" nominated films and documentaries. Thus "Movie Night" with the whistleblowers was one of the highlights of our annual summit, because it gave whistleblowers, advocates and conference attendees an opportunity to interact with the general public in a relaxed atmosphere that promotes camaraderie and builds broad community support. We are a coalition of individual whistleblowers, grassroots activists, public interest advocates and policy makers. We provide a sense of community and mutual support for whistleblowers or civil and human rights activists. During the conference, we also present the Pillar Award for Human Rights. The Pillar is awarded to notable civil and human rights champions; previous recipients include Representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Senator Charles "Chuck" Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO). The Pillar is awarded to politicians, community activists and journalists—including documentary filmmakers.
The Whistleblower Summit recognizes that cinema is a powerful medium for highlighting civil and human rights violations across the globe. It seeks to shine a light on stories of courage and perseverance in the face of injustice, and to encourage individuals to stand together to achieve human rights for all. Consequently, we are pleased to announce the opening of submissions for its annual film festival, which will take place in July 2019. We are looking for films about whistleblowers, the First Amendment or that touch on one or several human rights issues that are connected to our areas of work this includes freedom of expression, women's rights, discrimination, communal violence, human rights defenders, among other issues. The themes mentioned are not exhaustive, films centered on other civil and human rights issues are equally welcome for submission.

Atul Nanda, 46, and Jiten "Jay" Nanda , two Indian-Americans have been sentenced by a Texas judge on June 3 for committing visa fraud to employ low-cost workers ostensibly for their own IT company, but in fact, circulated them to third parties and reaping huge profits.
Atul Nanda and "Jay" Nanda, who were convicted at trial in November 2015 for committing H-1B visa fraud to get workers for their consulting company, Dibon Solutions, headquartered in Carrollton, Texas, received lengthy federal prison terms of 7 years and three months, by Chief U.S. District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn.
Each was convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud, one count of conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens, and four counts of wire fraud. The brothers, who have been on bond, were remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas.
"The H-1B visa program is a powerful and positive tool for businesses and foreign workers alike when properly used," said U.S. Attorney John Parker. "When employers abuse the program, however, the foreign workers become a captive stable of cheap labor, victimized to the company's financial benefit."
The Nanda brothers recruited skilled foreign workers with expertise, sponsoring them through the H-1B visa, saying they would be working for Dibon Solutions, when in fact, they were farmed out to third-party companies around the U.S., prosecutors said.
"Jay and Atul Nanda directed that the workers only be paid for time spent working at a third-party company and only if the third-party company actually first paid Dibon for the workers' services," the press release said. At the same time, the Nanda brothers falsely represented that the workers had full-time positions and were paid an annual salary at Dibon, as required by regulation to secure the visas.
This scheme provided the Nandas with a labor pool of inexpensive, skilled foreign workers who could be used on an "as needed" basis. The scheme was profitable because it required minimal overhead and Dibon could charge significant hourly rates for a computer consultant's services. "Thus, the Nandas, as Dibon's owners, earned a substantial profit margin when a consultant was assigned to a project and incurred few costs when a worker was without billable work," authorities proved. Under this scheme known as "benching," Dibon actively recruited H-1B workers for the "bench."
At the same time, the Nandas required the H-1B visa candidates to pay the processing fees that the law requires to be paid by the company, and hid this from authorities by having the applicants pay the fees directly to Dibon either with cash or check.
The three other defendants charged in the case, Siva Sugavanam, 37, Vivek Sharma, 48, and Rohit Mehra, 39, who each pleaded guilty before trial to one count of aiding and abetting visa fraud, were each sentenced earlier this month by Judge Lynn to two years' probation. Sugavanam was the lead recruiter for Dibon; Sharma acted as Dibon's office manager; and Mehra recruited employees for the bench and transported benched employees to and from Dibon Headquarters. All three had knowledge of and/or involvement in the filing of false documents with the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in securing recruits' employment with Dibon.
