Gahcho Kué outlook: 20M carats over 3 yrs
Last updated 12/14/2018 at 5:26am
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Nov. 27 forecast that the Gahcho Kué Mine in Northwest Territories will produce between 6.6 million and 6.9 million carats of diamonds in 2019 and the company expects the diamond output from this operation to remain steady through 2021.
Owned by Mountain Province (49 percent) and De Beers Canada (51 percent), the Gahcho Kué Mine began commercial production in 2017.
Through the first nine months of 2018, the Gahcho Kué Mine produced 5.4 million carats of diamonds from 2.4 million metric tons of ore averaging 2.21 carats per ton diamonds, putting the operation on pace to exceed the company's guidance of 6.3 million to 6.6 million carats this year.
Based on an updated life of mine plan, Gahcho Kué is forecast to produce between 6.6 million and 6.9 million carats of diamonds in both 2019 and 2020, an average that is expected to increase to 6.8 million to 7.1 million in 2021.
"As we look forward to 2019 and beyond, our business plan demonstrates the quality of our core asset and the excellent work that the operations team has carried out over the past year; both in exceeding the targets for the current year, and building a stronger longer term business plan that should extend the life of mine beyond 2028," said Mountain Province Diamonds President and CEO Stuart Brown.
The results from the robust exploration program carried out this year will inform this long-range plan for Gahcho Kué.
In September, Mountain Province announced that drilling this year discovered additional kimberlite in the immediate vicinity of the mine. Known as Hearne, this new Kimberlite lies at depth between the 5034 and Tuzo kimberlites.
During the remainder of 2018 and into 2019, drilling will be undertaken to further delineate the extension of mineralization along these ore bodies.
In addition to the work aimed at expanding the resource on the Gahcho Kué joint venture property, Mountain Province will be conducting additional enhancement work at Kennady, a diamond property immediately adjacent to Gahcho Kué.
Mountain Province gained full ownership of this property when it acquired Kennady Diamonds Inc. earlier this year.
Prior to the buyout, Kennady Diamonds identified a series of diamond-rich kimberlites along a corridor that trends northeast from the Gahcho Kué property 3,000 meters onto the Kennady property.
Kelvin, the most advanced kimberlite on the Kennady North property, hosts an indicated resource of 13.62 million carats of diamonds contained in 8.5 million metric tons of kimberlite averaging 1.6 carats per metric ton, according to a resource calculated at the end of 2016.
Late in 2017, Kennady reported a maiden inferred resource for the Faraday kimberlites, which are about 2,000 meters northeast of Kelvin, of 5.02 million carats of diamonds in 3.27 million metric tons of kimberlite averaging 1.54 carats per metric ton.
Mountain Province has submitted core from 2017 drilling at Faraday 2, one of two Kimberlite bodies identified so far in the Faraday area, to Saskatchewan Research Council for microdiamond recovery. The microdiamond data will be used to extend the inferred resource at Faraday 2, which will be reported in early 2019.
A winter 2019 drill program is also scheduled to test geophysical anomalies immediately southwest of the Gahcho Kué Mine.

The Sears, Roebuck and Co. department store building — a fixture of downtown Santa Monica since the 1940s — may soon become a city landmark.
The Santa Monica Landmarks Commission voted 7-0 at its meeting Monday, October 11th, to approve a landmark designation application for the Sears building at 302 Colorado Ave.
The commission, which designates landmarks and historic districts for the city, filed for the application May 10th, but it has been discussing the issue for about a year, said Roger Genser, Landmarks Commission chair.
The Sears main building, which was built in 1947, is a clear representation of the late Moderne style of architecture, Genser said.
"It's clearly an iconic building," he said. "Everyone knows where it is. It's been a fixture in the neighborhood and it stands out in the community."
While some buildings meet only some of the criteria to be designated landmarks, the Sears main building meets all six of the criteria, he said.
Some of the criteria include having a notable architect, an aesthetic value and a long-term place in the community, and being a good example of architectural style and a representation of the cultural aspects of the city, he said.
The Sears building, which had Rowland Crawford as the principal architect, is one of the department store's earliest buildings in Southern California.
Since the landmark designation application was approved by the commission, Sears, Roebuck and Co., which owns the building, will determine if the company also approves landmark status for its building, Genser said.
The only concern by Sears has been the store's adjacent Garden Center building, but the company doesn't oppose the landmark idea, Genser claimed.
The Garden Center serves as a plant nursery and garden supply center and the building has undergone renovations since it was originally built with the main building as a service station.
Sears has expressed concern because if the Garden Center is also designated a landmark, its future development may be in jeopardy, Genser said.
If Sears does decide to appeal the main building's landmark designation, it would most likely be on those grounds, Genser said.
The Landmarks Commission has taken into account the historic role of the Garden Center and agrees to leave the center's status open to future development changes, he said.
By labeling the Garden Center as a "secondary" building to the main building, the commission allowed for the possibility of future alterations, he said.
"We worded it (Garden Center) as a secondary building and it's clear that it's not the primary effort," Genser said. "The commission is careful and we want to defend Sears' economic viability."
If Sears does agree to have its main building designated as a landmark, it will establish an official importance for the building in Santa Monica, Genser said.
The landmark status does not "freeze the building in time," Genser said; it just requires the commission to review possible changes with respect to the building's integrity.
The commission's vote to approve the landmark application is not official until a month after the action, and Sears has ten days after the official approval to appeal the action.
If the company approves the application, the Sears building may become a city landmark by the commission's November 8th meeting, Genser said.
"We want to make sure that we express the interest, and that the status of the building is real obvious as a landmark," he said.

Hawks Rained out in Spokane
SPOKANE, Wash. – Tonight's Northwest League game between the Boise Hawks and the Spokane Indians has been postponed due to rain.
The two teams will make the contest up as part of a Saturday doubleheader, with the first pitch of Game 1 scheduled for 6:35 p.m. (MDT)
Rain has fallen steadily in the Spokane Valley for the past 36 hours – and is not expected to let up until Friday morning. Avista Stadium is the lone NWL stadium with a natural surface that does not have an tarp – and despite outstanding drainage, the infield surface was unplayable.
It marks the first time since the 2007 season that the Hawks have had a game rained out – with Boise having to play doubleheaders that season in both Yakima and Everett. Over the past four years, the Hawks have had two games shortened due to rain (2011 in Vancouver, 2012 in Yakima), while the club forfeited a game in August of 2010 due to playing conditions in Everett.
The two teams, weather permitting, will play their regularly scheduled single-game tomorrow night at 7:35 p.m. (MDT)

If you choose to decorate your bedroom with one hue, be sure to vary the shades to create a calming vibe. Don't be afraid to mix patterns (florals and stripes live well together) to add visual interest.
Think neutral bedrooms have to be boring? Then take a look at this masculine, relaxing, and anything-but-dull bedroom from architect and designer Patrick Brian Jones. When the palette is quiet, clever use of subtle pattern adds interest without overwhelming the small space. A folded throw blanket in a contrasting hue adds extra oomph to the foot of the bed.
Most bedrooms function as living and playing spaces, which means decorating needs to work double-duty. Choose a rich color, like this terra-cotta, and introduce accents in natural tones to keep the room feeling warm and comfortable.
This compact children's room is brightened up with soft pink walls, while the dark wooden beams add definition as well as providing natural shelving. White furniture is ideal for giving the impression of more space in a small scheme.
There are a variety of methods which decorating a women area can be come close to. If the girl in question has a preferred shade, it can be quite easy to begin with that color as a base and after that develop the style around it. Accent pieces, window therapies as well as wall surface borders are all examples of methods which you could color could be used.
Vintage vanity is on the list for Squiggles' room. I like the color of this one: Fresh coat of paint on vanity and recovering with a fun Amy Butler coral/orange print. Love keeping the furniture that I grew up with and giving it new life for Ava's room.

Ballerinas are pretty to look at and little girls simply love them, so having a painting or mural of dancers is a great idea for a little princess's room. You don't need to be able to design or paint yourself, because these are fairly easy to come by, even as digital prints, nowadays. source.
I stayed at the Ludlow Hotel in New York's Lower East Side last October and I instantly fell in love with my room. The stark black four-poster bed was the perfect contrast to whitewashed walls and beams. The industrial black window frames were dressed with heavy patterned pleated silk shades. The massive brass pendant lamp, patterned flat-weave rug, sheepskin throws and deeply veined marble coffee tables accented the decor perfectly. And the view of downtown Manhattan was of course unbeatable. Image credit
i love all the design and they are wonderful.. but it must be someone for guys so they can make their rooms design…. plss let me know am teen boy.@ FAY and SANDRA. i want u to know that we are all here to look at it and comment but not to attack each other, each and everyone have his or her own choice, so u must be aware of that and no one should sound rude to anyone. thank you i hope u both will understand each other.
Many little girl's bedroom themes can be loud or trendy rather than timeless. If you'd rather avoid them, look for more subtle ways to incorporate a child's interests or hobbies. For a ballet enthusiast, dress the room in shades of pink, plenty of ruffles, and a few nods to her passion, such as a display of tutus and a piece of art, rather than a whole ballet-slipper bedding set and suite of accessories.
Create a bright and fun girl's room by combining green and white paintwork with pink accessories and floral motifs. The extendable pine bed has been painted to create country charm, while Cath Kidston soft furnishings complete the girly look.
It's already been said – you just can't not decorate the ceiling of a princess's room. A canopy is a classic that never goes out of style, and installing it in the ceiling adds that magical touch while also making optimal use of the space available. addisonswonderland.

You're not limited to whites or neutrals when it comes to the wall color of a small bedroom. "I don't buy into that whole 'Never paint a small room a dark color' design dogma," says Humphrey.

How to know if the milk products made in China or Taiwan
It saddened me when I read in the newspaper that milk powdered from China or Taiwan contained melamine and had affected thousand of peoples around the world. Many countries have stopped importing melamine-tainted dairy products from China. I have also seen in world news that those factories producing these melamine milk powdered had been ban and shut down.
Many supermarkets had withdrawn these milk powdered from their shelf and if you do see it somewhere you really got to check where the things are produced. Here at AceOne118 teaches you how to differentiate Taiwan made products and China made products by looking at the first 3 digits of its Bar code.
If the 1st 3 digits are 690, 691 or 692 - China made
If the 1st 3 digits are 471 – Taiwan made


text: Trapezoid/Vault Box Construction Guide Posted on March 20, 2012 by chadz Vault Box Construction from Fight or Flight Academy Depending on how big you want your vault box, it will change the amount of wood you will need. For a 3 foot tall vault box you will need: 6 8ft 2x4s Two sheets of ¾" 4'x8' plywood 32 truss connector plates Construction grade polyurethane Bunch of nails or wood screws (T-25 star bit recommended) Tools: Nail gun/hammer or power drill for screws Circular saw Caulking gun Power sander Pencil Start by laying two 2x4s fat side down next to each other at equal and opposite angles. Next, to find the cutting angle, lay two more 2x4s parallel to each other. This is where you will decide how tall and wide you want your vault box to be. First decide how wide you want the top to be. This will be measured from the outside of the top green 2×4. How tall you want the vault box to be is decided by the lower green 2×4. As long as the two green 2x4s are parallel, the angles won't change. Using the 2x4s as a guide, mark cutting lines on the wood. Mark the RED lines on the pink 2×4 and the GREEN lines on the lime 2×4. After the pieces are cut, they should fit together like this figure. Next, attach the wood together with truss connector plates. Attach to the spot indicated by the orange. Put connector plates on both sides of your frame to have a total of eight plates per frame. View fullsize View fullsize Once you have four frames completed, you can put them together. Using a 2×4, evenly space the frames so they are 12" on center (ie, measuring from the center of one board to the center of the other board) so the width is 4' (a normal piece of plywood is 4', less cutting). Do this on all four angles inside the vault box so the finished product looks like that. When you are assembling the vault box, try to make the frames as straight as possible. They should be 90 degrees to the ground. Here are a few pictures of our vault box skeleton fully assembled: View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Next comes the plywood. To attach the plywood you can either screw it or glue and nail it. We glued and nailed ours using construction grade polyurethane. This has so far worked wonderfully and was much faster than screwing. Notes About Plywood: Depending on the thickness of the plywood, you may have to pay attention to the grain. We used ½" plywood which consists of three layers. Because of this, you need to layer the grain perpendicular to your frame. If you use ¾" (recommended) then this shouldn't be a problem. Next, layering the plywood. The top piece should lay on top of the side pieces. This will help protect the sides of the plywood. If you'd like, you can sand the corners of the top piece so it is flush to the side. This of course is optional. DING!

On Wednesday, giant IT-real-estate-manufacturing-retail conglomerate Vingroup opened VinAI Research, a research institute focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) with the goal of elevating Viet Nam's role in the AI world.
The institute will study basic AI science applications in image and video processing, linguistic and voice recognition and user interaction, according to Vingroup.
It will give priority to the hottest topics and issues in Viet Nam and the world.
The institute also plans to train top AI specialists for Vingroup and Viet Nam in general, fostering young talents for the future and transferring AI technologies to the parent company and partners.
The new AI research centre will be chaired by Dr Bui Hai Hung, former senior AI expert for Google and member of the editorial board at Artificial Intelligence magazine.
Hung has had nearly 100 studies published in well-known IT magazines, and has nearly 10 invention certificates issued by the US agencies.
The establishment of VinAI Research, which is managed by Vingroup's technology arm VinTech, is the group's next step to upgrade its business to an international level in technology, services and industrial fields.
Vingroup has opened several technology-focused units such as the IT sub-business VinTech, the Big Data Research Institute and the Vingroup Innovation Fund. — VNS

Anti-Alcohol Groups Seek Ban of Alcohol Sales During Songkran Festival
Last year 248 people were killed and 2643 injured in five days during Thailand's Songkran festival 2014.
Teerapat Kahawong, coordinator of the groups submitted a letter to Somchai Poolsavadi, director-general of Excise Department, calling on the department to impose a ban on alcohol sales during the 'seven dangerous day' of the Songkran Festival early next month.
The activists also called on the department to take harsh actions against shops that sell alcohol to children and young people, by revoking their licenses.
They also called on the department to publicize and quickly enforce the Prime Minister's Office new announcement on ban of alcohol sales on footpaths, trains, railway stations, bus stations and ferry piers. – Thai PBS

From a young age, I've consistently struggled with being overweight. For a few years during and after college I was at a very unhealthy weight for my small frame, but for the most part, I've always been borderline overweight, always on the heavier end of healthy, and always with heavy thighs.
As with most chubby kids, I hated running. I used my asthma to get out of running our daily Phys Ed mile when it was cold. My dad, a track coach, desperately wanted me to be a runner. We tried sprints. Nope. Middle distances. Nope. Long distances. Not even on the radar. I became quite the little race-walker around age 9, but decided it wasn't worth it, and took up tennis instead.
After losing 30 lbs a few years out of college, I realized running was the single best way to lose weight, and began running a few miles most mornings, until plantar fasciitis hit me so hard I thought I had broken my foot. It was the first time I really wanted to run, and although I took it much more slowly when recovered, I never lost that spark of desire to run. Over the next several years I was a sporadic runner, in between cardio kick & body pump classes, I was running a mile or two, at most, a week.
In business school, I gained weight again. Under a ton of stress, enjoying free food, and in a new relationship, I gained 15 lbs in a year. Like a gift from God, the Pittsburgh Marathon was debuting its first race in 10 years only a few weeks before I finished the other toughest thing I'd ever done: adding MBA after my name. I signed up with nearly 6 months to get myself into shape to run it, and began training with the run/walk method.
Since then, I've completed 4 half marathons, all of them with some version of run/walk. The most I've ever run without walk sections is 8 miles, which was during my last half, the 2012 Walt Disney World Half Marathon. My IT Band is a constant pain in the @$$, almost literally, which makes the run/walk method more accessible. It allows me to go further, and faster, than if I simply ran.
I hesitate to call myself a runner most of the time, but then I remember that I've completed 4 half marathons, and it doesn't really matter how I did them. I'm not trying to win anything, not even an age group. I'm doing it because it keeps me motivated and I love how I feel when I'm done (well the adrenaline, not the aching body).
So there it is, my biggest fitness confession: I'm a run/walk-er!
What's your fitness confession? And for runners, do run/walkers offend you?

Shenzhen cult gathers the faithful
Fanatics have smashed up their existing (non-OnePlus) phones to get one, and queued for hours in the scorching heat just to fondle one. The launch event is the product: OnePlus sells fans tickets to the launch, and did so yesterday.
"We wondered if there was a possibility of creating a brand that also feels more like a club or like a religion?" Pei told WiReD, discussing the company's most notorious publicity stunt. In 2014 OnePlus had invited fans to show that they had destroyed their existing phone in order to get the chance to obtain a OnePlus One for $1. Destruction didn't guarantee a replacement, however. Some did just that and were left with no phone at all.
Youtube Video
"If you already subscribe to a religion and you want to change religions, there's a switching cost or an initiation ritual – and so that's where we got the idea for Smash The Past. So, if you're already subscribed to another brand, then to join us, you have to sacrifice that brand. I think for a company in its very first year, that was quite an okay campaign because it gained us a lot of attention and it really put our attitude on the map," Pei had said.
The co-founder expressed no regret over the stunt but did candidly describe how the early publicity had gone to the founders' heads.
"I think we were overly confident and arrogant," he told WiReD. But what the article didn't say is that OnePlus operates out of the Shenzhen offices of Chinese giant Oppo, part of the BKK group, which owns the Oppo and Vivo brands – Oppo is OnePlus's only institutional shareholder.
OnePlus launched its OnePlus 6 device in London yesterday, and it's a tasteful reflection of what the industry's supply chains can deliver in 2018. Which means lots of display and a Notch, and a glass back and a dual-sensor main camera.
The OnePlus 6 touts a 6.28-inch AMOLED (19:9) display in a package not much bigger than the OnePlus 5, and incorporates a 16MP (f/1.7) main camera, supported by a 20MP secondary sensor. The company has added some gesture controls to its restrained and spare skin, "Oxygen OS". The screen-to-body ratio (84 per cent) matches that of the Galaxy S9. Hence a Notch. The about-par 3400mAh capacity battery will be put to work driving a FHD+ screen.
It comes in a striking red, black, and a limited edition white.
The OnePlus flagship now boasts IP67-rated water and dust resistance but lacks Qi wireless charging, and none of the models have expandable storage in the form of a microSD card slot. If you like, you can wait six months for a better OnePlus: the company supersedes its late spring launch with a late autumn "T" variant every year.
It's available from 22 May, and OnePlus offers acolytes several nice deals; for trade-ins of a OnePlus 3 or 3T ("in good condition") users can receive up to £190 against the purchase of a 6. O2 is the sole UK carrier at launch.
The competitive landscape is changing fast with intense competition for value-conscious buyers.
When OnePlus launched its first "flagship killer" in 2014, it offered top-end specs for £249, some £300 cheaper than well-known brand rivals like Samsung. Four years on, OnePlus can still argue there's a significant saving over devices like the Galaxy S9 (£799) or the Pixel 2 XL (£899). But the threat is from newcomers like the reborn Nokia, offering stock Android at £399 in its Nokia 7 and the Huawei Group's excellent Honor 10, also at £399.
It's a nice deal at that price, but is the OnePlus brand strong enough to attract customers who can justify the extra £150? Or was it just a weird marketing experiment: a pseudo-startup experimenting with group psychology? Time will, er, tell.

You've probably seen or heard some of the backlash surrounding the launch of EA's newest shared world shooter, Anthem. Whether it's the bugs, technical issues, long loading screens, lack of compelling story, or crashing peoples' PS4s, the game has had a rocky start. One thing the community has brought up is the list of features that were supposed to have been included, but were absent after the game's launch. It's easy to want to criticize the game's developers, but it's not necessarily their fault that the game isn't up to par. The lead producer of Anthem responded to a thread on Reddit, concerning these missing features.
Above are some of the features fans were expecting, but were not included. Lead producer, Ben Irvo had this to say:
The short answer is that the cost of transparency is things change. We did our best to be transparent on the journey to going live but with that we knew things would be different in some situations. Sometimes people would be happy and sometimes they would be upset.
It's the cost of transparency.
Edit: to elaborate – game development is full of change. There are a million reasons why you set out with an idea and it evolves over time. This is common in every game. We shared as much as we could. Some things change. So the cost of transparency is that some things we said become not true, not because someone was dishonest but because it changed over the course of development.
It's very tough from a developmental standpoint, because EA ultimately will dictate how things play out, since they're funding it. Sure, Bioware actually makes the game, but they answer to EA, so it's not always as simple as it seems.
With this, the point is that the developers recognize that there are issues that need to be addressed and are doing their best to be honest with the community. Development is hard and many things do not go according to plan.
It's good to know that the team is being honest with the fans and hopefully things turn around for Anthem.

This week, a few volunteers took a step back away from the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires to breathe in some country air and explore western Argentina. Mendoza is best known around the world for its Malbec and its CabSav (Cabernet Sauvignon). However, its vineyards are far more than just a series of production plants - they are a thing of beauty. To the human eye, their vines crawl all the way back into the rolling hills of the Andes that provide the backdrop to the open plains.
We arrived at our hostel late at night, having chosen the two hour flight over the 14 hour bus ride (yeah, I know, cop out). We were somewhat surprised when we were met with a group of backpackers not partying the night away, but rather sat comfortably in front of a movie. Huh, we thought. By the end of the following day though, we could sympathise. Mendoza and its surroundings are undeniably at their best during the day whilst the sun is shining and the green grass gleaming. We took the plunge, resolving that we would get a better feel for the countryside on a bicycle rather than from the inside of a tour bus. Despite a lack of cycling experience, I stand by my decision. The bike rental shop gave us a little map of nearby bodegas and dutifully sent us on our way. To cycle down an empty road, vineyards either side and the Andes filling the sky, is something I will never forget. It's as if you have just stepped onto the set of a classic Argentine movie, only the camera crew has been replaced by a pack of lamas and there's nobody to cry "Cut!".
These past six weeks, Buenos Aires has found a place in my heart for its vibrancy, its diversity – notably in terms of restaurants – and its openness. I never would have anticipated feeling so at home in such a large and unfamiliar metropolis. That said, Mendoza was, literally, a breath of fresh air; perhaps the most striking difference between the two, as we stepped off the plane we were hit by a cold but refreshing wind that, in Buenos Aires, is intensified by the Rio de la Plata. In a similar vein, the roads of Mendoza are less dense as they glide around trees and bushes and quaint little houses, free from the angst of any large city. However, after a few days away the VG house's colourful walls were a welcoming sight. And it's back to the reality of the porteño lifestyle. ¡Que pena!

My partner had a heart attack in June and had two stents there and then. He is currently waiting for two more to be put in and is on his 6 week period off work.
Since he has come home we have changed his diet, bought bikes and upped our exercise levels and all seems to be going well.
The only problem I am having is with his personality which has changed slightly. He used to be a very calm, laid back type of guy who took everything in his stride, he was always doing things around the house on his time off ( we bought a new house in September last year and pre-heart attack he had helped fit a new kitchen, fitted a bathroom and a cloakroom, taken an en-suite and made it into a wardrobe - so you can see he was quite an active chap) and he was always enthusiastic with getting on and doing things. Since the heart-attack he has no desire to do anything, sits around the house all day and plays his guitar and doesn't feel interested in doing any of the jobs around the house. Now i know you are all going to tell me that he's just had a HA and to give him time, and I have no problem with that, I tell him to listen to his body and do what he wants, but I am struggling with his short-temperedness and his abruptness. He had become very waspish, very snappy and his temper seems to go from 1 - 100 in two seconds flat...we can't go a week without having a row which usually ends up with 4 hours silence and then him apologising for his behaviour.
Have you had any problems with your partners change in personality? Do you think it is down to the meds or the whole situation? Will this be a permanent thing or will he go back to normal? I've never been through this before so would appreciate all help

Signal assessment outcome – submission of safety variations
The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) is responsible for the analysis, prioritisation and assessment of validated signals, resulting in a PRAC recommendation.
More information: Signal management [2]
The EMA publishes PRAC recommendations every month under: PRAC recommendations on safety signals [3]
You can find the Excel table at the bottom of the page (List of safety signals discussed since September 2012 [4]), where list of all signals discussed at PRAC is published. Last column of the table (Update of product information recommended by PRAC) contains information whether Product Information has to be updated or not (No/Yes). In the second column from the right (PRAC meeting) the date of PRAC meeting and link to the PRAC protocol is given (NB! You cannot find the updated wording of the Product Information there). To find the Product Information updated wording, you should go one step backwards, where Excel table is at the bottom of the page and pdf files of PRAC Recommendations on adopted signals can be found (PRAC recommendations on safety signals: monthly overviews). You should choose the pdf file "New product information wording" with the date and year given in the Excel table and choose ET= Eesti keel language.
NB! In preparing the variation the translation given in PRAC recommendations should be used.
Periodic Safety Update report (PSUR) assessment outcome - submission of safety variations
Depending on whether the PSUSA (Periodic safety update report single assessments) involved only centrally authorised, centrally and nationally, only nationally authorised active substances or whether the active substance is included in the EURD list (List of European Union reference dates) or it not (yet) included there the outcomes of PSUR assessments are published on different websites:
More information: Periodic safety update report single assessments [5]
1. PSUSA procedure involves only centrally authorised products
The outcomes of PSUR assessments are published as part of each medicine's EPAR: European public assessment report [6]
2. PSUSA procedure involves both centrally and nationally authorised products
The outcome can be found on the Community Register [7] maintained by the European Commission.
3. PSUSA procedure involves only nationally authorised products
The outcomes of the PSUR single assessments are published on EMA website "Outcomes of periodic safety update report single assessments [5]"
In the second column from the right (Regulatory outcome) it is stated whether variation has to be submitted or not (Variation/Maintenance) following PSUR single assessment. In case variation has to be submitted in the last column named "Documents" you can find in addition to the list of medicines the pdf file named "CMDh scientific conclusions ...", where you can find the conclusion and updated wording also in Estonian language. Product information must be updated according to this document.
NB! In preparing the variation the translation given in CMDh conclusion should be used.
4. Active substance is not in the EURD list and PSUR assessment is carried out within Work-sharing (WS) procedure
Following CMDh monthly meeting the outcomes of informal PSUR WS procedures are published on CMDh website [8].
Summaries of PSUR Assessment Reports are published on CMDh website Pharmacovigilance site [9]
Updates of Product Information are given in the Assessment Report. Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) has to organise the translation of the Product Information.
MAH should make sure (even if the active substance is in the EURD list), that all Product Information updates published on CMDh website in the list of active substances are implemented into Product Information. Usually the timetable of implementation is provided within the CMDh press release.

Boy George is well known as a pop star, DJ and fashion designer who is remembered for his Eighties band Culture Club.
"I would describe myself as the kind of pink sheep of the family. I definitely growing up had a real sense of being different, of not really having a place not only within my family but just in the world"
George was born in Sidcup, Kent but grew up in South London. We can find his birth record by using TheGenealogist, and then by clicking the Parents' Potential Marriage SmartSearch from this result we can find the marriage of his parents in 1959 Woolwich. George was always aware, however, that his family's roots were definitely Irish.
"Growing up in the Seventies, being Irish, you were really aware of the IRA bombings, and innocent people were being killed, and they were such big news, you were made aware of the fact that your family were Irish".
George's dad Jeremiah passed away in 2001 though his mother Dinah is still alive. Part of the reason for George embarking on this family history journey is for his mother in order to discover more about her own mother's early life in Dublin:
"My grandmother was found wandering when she was a very young child in the streets of Ireland, and she was put in a children's home. Other than that it was just kind of fragments, really"
And George is drawn to find out about another family mystery:
"When we were growing up, we used to think that one of our relatives was Kevin Barry, who was a very famous Irish freedom fighter, but it turns out one of my mother's cousins was hung with him in Mountjoy Jail"
George expects this quest will not reveal many happy stories:
"I think that there will be a lot of sadness. A lot of mascara running, even though I'm not wearing any make-up!"
The programme follows George as he visits his mum Dinah in South London, where he asks about her mother – his grandmother – Bridget. Dinah and George reminisce about her, which includes George remembering that his grandmother could be quite strict. Dinah's view was that this may have been because of events that happened in her childhood. Dinah tells George that his grandmother never used to talk about it and she shows George an order of detention to Goldenbridge industrial school in Dublin in 1919 for Bridget. He reads the reason:
"'wandering and not having any visible means of subsistence'. So she was six years old!"
George is shocked by what he reads. He and Dinah then talk about one of the few accounts that Bridget had spoken of - she had been made to wear the damp sheet as a punishment after wetting the bed. George wants to find out more for his Mum and so he travels to Dublin to meet with historian Catriona Crowe near the spot where his grandmother Bridget was discovered wandering. He is upset to be told that his six-year-old grandmother was virtually outside her own house when picked up by the NSPCC.
"She was kind of nabbed like a stray dog!"
Catriona and George visit the Dublin Tenement Museum at 14 Henrietta Street, where he can get an idea of the type of conditions Bridget and her family would have lived in. George sees one room furnished with a bed and basic furniture where up to eight people at one time would have lived, washed and eaten. Catriona then shows George various photographs of the deprived North Dublin area around the time in which Bridget would have been a child. The historian particularly draws George's attention to the children in the photos.
Catriona then goes on to produce some documents relating to George's grandmother Bridget. First of all he sees her birth certificate from 1913, from this he discovers that her mother's name was Kate, and that her father's name was John. Next he looks at a North Dublin workhouse record from 1915 and this reveals that John Kinahan was admitted for hospital treatment. From this George realises that his great-grandfather was in poor health. The next document Catriona shows him is a death certificate for George's great-grandmother Kate from 1922. In this year she would have been 45. This record is rapidly followed by another death certificate - it is for his great-grandfather John who had died four years later, aged only 41. George realises from this that both of Bridget's parents were alive at the time that their daughter had been picked up from the streets. They had, however, died a few years later while she was in the industrial school. In the Who Do You Think You Are? episode Catriona suggests that Bridget's parents might have thought that their child was better off in an industrial school. George responds strongly to this:
"I think that however bad things are, when you're with people that love you, even the worst conditions can be bearable. You know, I think that you're always better off with your family"
The following day, the show takes George to visit the site of what was the Goldenbridge Convent Industrial School. On the way to see it he admits to feeling apprehensive.
"I feel it's going to be quite an emotional experience to be in that space"
George meets historian Lindsey Earner-Byrne inside the convent chapel and is shown a print that depicts the girls in the industrial school lace-making. He is then able to see an account written by a girl at the school detailing the punishment for bed-wetting. This confirms what he and his mother had heard about his grandmother Bridget's experience. Lindsey then shows George a record of an entry specifically about Bridget that covers her ten years spent at Goldenbridge from 1919 to 1929. While it has very little detail, the report includes adjectives including "ambitious", "painstaking" and "very bright" to describe Bridget.
"It's pretty tragic. There is a sense that she just kind of got on with it... she's definitely a survivor, but when you hear these stories, you kind of realise why she was the way she was"
George sees from the document that his grandmother left Goldenbridge in 1929 and went to work as a housemaid at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin. Three years later, he reads that she married his grandfather, Francis Glynn. The viewers of the genealogy programme see George reflecting on what's he's learnt so far about his grandmother Bridget's experiences:
"Finding out that she might have been in this very chapel is quite... it feels good... Being here it makes me understand why she was the person that she was... she was obviously hiding a lot of pain – but she got on with it... Yeah, I'm proud of her. I'm really proud of her"
George continues with his family history exploration of his mother's side of the family, as he wants to find the connection to Kevin Barry that he has heard of in the family stories. To see if he can find out more, he visits his Aunt Phyllis.
"Auntie Phyllis is like Batman or Wonderman – she always turns up. You know, when my Mum's been sick, or when I've been in trouble, you know, Phyllis is always there."
George and his Aunt Phyllis look at some photographs that she has of his great-grandparents Richard and Molly Glynn. She is able to explain that Richard had fought for the British Army, something that wasn't unusual for a working class man looking for a steady income. It is revealed that Molly had in fact been married to Richard's brother before Richard. It was Molly's daughter from this marriage, Annie, who had married a republican named Thomas Bryan. Phyllis is able to tell George that Thomas was hung by the British authorities and then buried beside Kevin Barry. Kevin Barry's name is very familiar to George as he recalls discovering a 'Freedom Fighters' album of Irish rebel songs and playing it when he was growing up in South London.
Being now aware that it had been his great-aunt Annie's husband, Thomas Bryan who had been executed by the British, George looks online for their marriage certificate. He discovers that Annie and Thomas married in November 1920, and they were living at 14 Henrietta Street...
"So they actually lived in 14 Henrietta Street where we went the other day, to that museum. That's trippy – I wish I'd known that when I was there. Wow. Now it takes on a whole other frequency!"
Returning back to 14 Henrietta Street, George meets with historian Ciarán Wallace to see what more he can find out about the couple. He sees a photo of them for the first time. The Prison records the researcher has found reveals that Thomas was arrested in 1917, which was three years before he married Annie. The arrest was as a result of having taken part in a drill of the Irish Volunteers, a precursor to the IRA.
"She definitely went for a bad boy!... It seems to be a family tradition."
It was only a few months after his wedding to Annie that Thomas Bryan was arrested once again during a raid in Drumcondra during the Irish War of Independence. The British had imposed martial law on the country and being arrested as an Irish Volunteer was a serious affair for Thomas Bryan. He was incarcerated in Kilmainham Gaol, and so this is where George heads next in the TV programme.
At Kilmainham Gaol, which has been preserved as a museum, historian Aoife Torpey takes George to see an example of the dark, basic, prison cell that Thomas Bryan would have had to endure. In the museum's archive, Aoife shows George the chilling document pronouncing Thomas's death sentence. George also reads a letter to his great-grandfather Richard Glynn written by Thomas Bryan. The letter reveals the close relationship between the two men. George notes Thomas's sensitivity in the communication as he puts aside his own fear to worry about the impact his death will have on his 'dear little wife'. The next record George is shown, a poem written by Thomas Bryan while in prison, has an even greater impact on the celebrity...
"'On a bed made of plants, a pillow of hair, I lie down to sleep, but I find no rest there. I'm thinking of home and the joys of my life, and the sweet little colleen I now call my wife... I ponder all, I'm nearly bereft. My life or my honour, which will be left'. It's a good poem. 'I plead and I pray to my mother on high, to ask God to save me, for I don't want to die... But to live for my wife and for the dear little child' – he had a child?"
George is shocked to discover that Annie was pregnant at the time that Thomas was arrested.
"The fact that my great-aunt Annie was pregnant, you know, what a thing – to find out that they've been married four months, he was now facing the hangman and he was having a kid... how human do you want to get? You know, it's just the most awful thing to find out."
The next document that George is shown is an official one - the letter sent to the Governor of Mountjoy Prison that details the date and time that Thomas's execution was to take place.
Mountjoy prison still functions as a prison today. The Hang Room, however, where Thomas Bryan was executed has been preserved and so inside the Execution Chamber, we see George in the programme saying a prayer and reflecting:
"What a place. I'll be really honest and say I actually feel quite angry, at the moment. My overall feeling is of anger. It's just awful. It's like macabre theatre."
Thomas Bryan and the five other IRA men were executed on that day in 1921. They were buried in unmarked graves within the prison walls along with four other executed prisoners. This included Kevin Barry, who had been hanged the year before, and over time they became known as the Forgotten Ten until in 2001 that changed when their bodies were exhumed and taken to Glasnevin Cemetery. Here they were reburied with state honours by the Republic of Ireland. After paying his respects at Thomas Bryan's grave in Glasnevin Cemetery – "I'm proud and I'm sad" - George then visits the museum to discover more about what happened to Annie and Thomas's child.
Glasnevin Historian Conor Dodd shows George an internment order which reveals that Thomas Bryan Jr tragically died at only one day old. His death on Thursday 10th March 1921 was just four days before his father was hanged in prison. The tragic story astounds George. In just one week his family had to deal with the death of two members and then Annie's own burial record reveals that she died nine years later, having never married again.
George finds Annie's grave and pays his respects.
"Having now found out what she endured, it's just unimaginable to think that while her husband was waiting to be hung, she lost their first child. And we'll never know whether he knew. Whether he went to his death knowing that his firstborn had already died... I really hope he didn't know. I really, really hope he didn't know. It's such an incredible story. And mad that nobody's ever talked about it. They will now – I shall make sure they do."
George's final visit in the family history show takes him to the 'Gravediggers' pub by Glasnevin Cemetery. Here he joins up with the Irish band Lankum to sing the rebel song that he can recall from his childhood. The emotional song, 'Kevin Barry', has even more significance for George now that he knows the connection to his family and their story.
"And to be able to walk in those footsteps, and to actually find out the family history has been very, very enlightening and powerful for me."
"This story's like a great Irish song – you know, it's the sort of thing you'd hear someone singing at a funeral or a family wedding, like an old drunk Irishman singing this traditional lament, and that's really what this story is like – it's like a really sad song... My family's association to really important parts of Irish history is a revelation."

"You're Next Urban Meyer"
The only "surprise" – Darren McFadden finishes second in the Heisman voting, beating Brady Quinn. Smith received the largest percentage of first place votes ever (beating out Reggie Bush's previous record of 84%) and the margin of victory was the second highest ever, second only to OJ's 1968 victory.
All "evidence" says Smith and Ohio State will have a similarly easy victory in Glendale. How beautiful would it be to see Florida just get smashed in the mouth?
Two points,
- I'm not bitter about USC's loss
- I think Florida should be there over Michigan
Those being said, I hate Urban Meyer. What a baby.

The harassment of 19-year-old Danny Chen started in basic training — teasing about his name, repeated questions of whether he was from China, even though he was a born-and-raised New Yorker. He wrote in his journal that he was running out of jokes to respond with.
It got worse in Afghanistan, military investigators told his family. They said the other men in his unit showered Chen, the only Chinese-American in his unit, with racial slurs and physical abuse in the weeks leading up to his suicide in early October. Eight soldiers have been charged in connection with his death.
For some Asian-Americans who have served in the military, the racial prejudice aspect of Chen's alleged mistreatment comes with little surprise based on what they've seen or experienced. But others say the military is a place where everyone's limits are tested, and that the failure in Chen's case is one of leadership.
Vietnam War veteran David Oshiro isn't surprised to hear of the accusations of racial prejudice. The 63-year-old Japanese-American said he didn't have problems with the men in his unit but often heard slurs from other enlisted Americans. When he was injured, military Medevac personnel assumed he was Vietnamese and nearly delayed his evacuation until all the solders they thought were American had been flown out.
"I got really upset, I started yelling back, 'I'm an American. You get my ass out of here now,'" said the San Rafael, Calif., resident said.
"It still upsets me, because I keep thinking, 'We're on the same team!'"
Daniel Kim, a 39-year-old Korean-American who spent 12 years in the infantry before leaving in 2004, questioned the leadership in Chen's unit. Among those implicated are a lieutenant and several non-commissioned officers.
"Who else knew? Who else didn't speak up?" asked Kim, who now lives in Queens.
The Asian-American presence is small in the military, as in the U.S. population. The most recent data show 43,579 Asian-Americans on active duty in 2010, making up 3.7 percent of those enlisted. Most were in the Army or Navy.

Hello again... not sure who is actually reading this but it still feels good to type out my thoughts.
Today Is Church and NASCAR Sunday... I love going to church and spending time in God's presence. I can't imagaine starting a week without it.
Then afterwards the bonus is NASCAR... I si enjoy that sport, not so much for the cars driving around but for all the stories behind the drivers and the reputation and compassion they show to each other.
Last night I tried making a new dishcloth for St Patricks day but it's very hard to see, I used a variegated yarn and maybe should have tried a plain color instead. It's supposed to be a leprechan and a pot of gold. {{{sigh}}}
We also got another snow storm yesterday, almost 2 feet of snow again. Here are some pictures.

As mentioned above, Naglfar Flare looks pretty awesome on paper, have yet to get one. I had a Bottled Hurricane at lower item level (~815) and it was great all the way up the heroics. The on-use was very strong considering it was a 815 trinket and the radius seemed to line up perfectly with healing rain. As of rite now I am using the Infernal Alchemist Stone @ 850 ilvl. I believe versatility is a very strong and underrated stat, the proc is very strong / happens often, along with the 40% potion / flask increase, I would easily consider to be my BiS trinket as of rite now (pre-raid). Other than the alchemy stone I would say Bottled Hurricane or Thrumming Gossamer, which ever one you can get higher. Gossamer if you want something static / no on-use / arguably better base stats, Hurricane if you like on-use / haste / cool tornado effects inside your healing rain.

Article by Jordan Parker, The Chronicle Herald
A leading Canadian marijuana activist is standing behind a bid by Auntie's Dispensary to reopen after a police raid shut them down.
Last week, Halifax owner Shirley Martineau and three others were charged — and had their inventory seized — after complaints led the Halifax Regional Police to take action.
Martineau, who hasn't returned phone calls, vowed to reopen and has volunteers working at the shop right now.
Toronto marijuana legalization activist Jodie Emery, who is married to fellow activist Marc Emery, knows what Martineau is going through.
She and Marc — the latter known in the media as the Canadian Prince of Pot — were raided in Montreal in December, just one day after they opened recreational pot franchises under their Cannabis Culture banner.
Eighteen kilograms were seized in the raids and 10 people arrested, including the Emerys.

When I first heard that a third Star Wars trilogy was going to be made, all the way back in 2012, I could't imagine what I would be witnessing on screen. Now, over 7 years later, the final film of the Skywalker saga has been released and I must say, I was… Blown away. This film has caused some division among fans like the two before it, but I believe this is one of the best of all nine films for a number of reasons.
The characters Rey, Poe and Finn all underwent a fair bit of change between this film and the first, not to mention what I believe is a 5 year time jump. It was amazing to see the kind of Jedi that Rey was becoming, and learning along that journey that Leia was the one training her (more on Leia later). Seeing Finn and Poe's friendship is always enjoyable, especially in this one where you see that they are close as friends and yet also have disagreements. C-3P0's role in this film is also greater than in other ones, as he (spoilers ahead) is the only one who can translate and relay the Sith language written on a dagger that Rey finds, as they journey to find Emperor Palpatine. I must also point out that having both Han and Luke appear to Rey and Kylo Ren when they needed them the mosy felt appropriate for their movement in the story; Luke mirroring Yoda when he pulled out his X-wing from the ocean was a nice touch too.
I want to take a moment and focus on Leia. I was excited to find out that she has, in fact, not lost her connection to the Force when in The Last Jedi, she used the Force to return to her ship from space after the First Order attacked and is the one training Rey in Rise of Skywalker. It is also revealed that she was actually training with Luke some time after Return of the Jedi, even building her own lightsaber which Rey used along with the reconstructed Anakin/Luke saber. In short, Leia is even more of a bad-ass than we already knew!
All Star Wars films are known for being visual masterpieces, and, of course, this one is no exception. For instance, the terrifying planet of Exegol, where Palpatine is hiding, was visually stunning in its own way; we get a unique look at the culture and architecture of the Sith that lay hidden from the galaxy for a long time, and the constant Force-energized lightning strikes made it even more foreboding. The lightsabers themselves are also always a visual treat to see; they're what I most look forward to seeing in one of these films. The ships, weapons, worlds, and depictions of Force powers used all met my expectations, although I also did appreciate the use of old-fashioned puppets and latex masks/makeup for some of the creatures instead of it all being CGI.
Finally, we must talk about the story. In the old Expanded Universe, Palpatine actually did return so it's not too much of a stretch to see it here, the major difference being that who we see in the EU are clones and in this film it is actually the original Palpatine; his horrendous deformitiesand injuries make that clear. The overarching story of Palpatine returning and working to rebuild the Sith Empire lined with the story of Rey and Leia trying to keep the Jedi and the Resistance alive worked well, I feel; separate, but together. We are also finally given the full story of Rey's heritage…. As Palpatine's granddaughter! Seeing her come to grips with it and not succumb to the dark side was so satisfying and encouraging to see. There are so many other story elements I could cover but that would take too long so I will make it as short as possible and finish with this: the story was concluded in what I believe was a very fitting manner, with the ultimate end of the Sith, Kylo Ren's final redemption as Ben Solo, Rey taking the Skywalker name as she stares at Tatooine's twin suns, even Leia's passing into the Force after she died.
So here it is, my review of the final chapter in the Skywalker story. I give it a solid 5/5, no questions asked! I hope all of you who have seen it enjoyed it as much as I have, and for those who haven't, sorry not sorry for the spoilers, haha! May the Force be with you, always.

Remember, a Christmas tree is a living thing - care for it as carefully as you would a cut flower. Once you select a Christmas tree, follow these suggestions to keep it fresh and safe.
- If you buy your tree several days before it will be set up and decorated, store the tree outdoors or on a cool porch or patio until you are ready to decorate. An area that provides protection from the wind or sun will help the tree retain its moisture.
- If you plan to store the tree several days, make a straight-across cut on the butt of the tree about an inch from the end. This opens the tree stem so it can take up water. Store the tree upright and place the butt end in a container of water.
- When you bring the tree into the house for decorating, make another fresh, straight-across cut in the trunk about an inch from the original cut. Use a tree stand that holds water.
- Trees are thirsty. They may drink between two pints and a gallon of water per day - so make sure to check daily and supply fresh water as needed. A stand which holds at least a gallon of water is recommended. If you allow the water level to drop below the trunk, a seal will form just as it does on a cut flower, and a new cut will be necessary.
- Place the tree away from fireplaces, radiators, TV sets and other heat sources. Turn off the tree lights when you leave your home and before you retire at night.
- Avoid use of combustible decorations. Check all electric lights and connections. Do not use lights with warm or frayed cords and NEVER use lighted candles.

"Standing right at the corner of Don Winslow and Exile on Main Street, Daniel Riley conjures something remarkable-an unerring fusion of contemporary white-knuckle thriller and rawly elegant period piece, set at the moment the Vietnam-era counterculture cracked open wide enough to fly a skyjacked plane through. Absolutely first-rate. I loved this book."
