Raise Production Inc. provided its shareholders with an update regarding recent field testing of its horizontal wellbore production system. As previously reported, the first 'commercial' type System replaced the two pump prototype System in January, 2014 in a Viking reservoir near Kindersley, Saskatchewan. The 'commercial' type System comprised of multiple pumps was deployed along the entire horizontal length of the wellbore. In mid-February it was determined that a threaded connection utilizing a thread sealing compound had failed during the installation or immediately thereafter, compromising System function. In response, Raise retrieved the System from the wellbore and returned it to the Company's facilities for diagnostic testing. Testing indicated that all Raise manufactured components were in good working order and the issue was corrected with a change to installation procedures. The System was successfully redeployed, with appropriate modifications, and in-field testing resumed in March. Although unplanned, this operation demonstrated again that the System can be deployed and retrieved in close tolerance wellbores without issue. Based on testing to date, the System is working in accordance with Raise's theoretical framework of horizontal well flow. The company has documented strong results from the horizontal section, including higher shut in pressures indicating that the less depleted sections of the reservoir are now being accessed. Dynamic flow changes in oil, water and gas along with the production of segregated water indicate the System is "sweeping" the wellbore as predicted. This 'sweeping' effect is important as it reduces the frictional effects of the fluids in the wellbore and in turn, allows for a more efficient production path along the entire horizontal length. The company is continuing to 'optimize' this new flow regime from the wellbore and will be in a position to complete this as soon as road bans are lifted and additional surface production equipment, not associated with System, can be moved on location. Initial testing to date has indicated 300% to 400% flow rate increases over certain short-term test intervals. It must be noted that the Company has not conducted long term production testing on this wellbore and no assurances can be given about sustainability of these increases. Raise further cautions that these results are based on intermittent testing due to the lack of surface production equipment arising from the new flow regimes the System has created in the well. Additional surface equipment will be installed after road bans are lifted. The company will continue to perform long term testing and monitor well production throughout the summer to capture System performance and production data. In addition to this update, the company informed shareholders that it is in negotiation with a new customer for its first commercial sale of a System for a well in the Provost area of Alberta, again in the Viking formation. The company is also performing sample testing of oil for a third potential customer in the Slave Point formation in Northern Alberta.

Plans to modify a treacherous road junction are set to be approved.
Nearly seven in ten residents who responded (67 per cent of 660) said they were happy with the proposals for the Seven Dials roundabout in Brighton, which has seen 20 accidents in the last three years.
Among 44 local businesses who responded, almost three quarters backed the idea.
The changes would see the central island enlarged, with a single lane created around it five metres wide.
This is planned to reduce vehicle speed.
Twenty three people have been injured within 25 metres of the junction over the last three years, with almost half of them cyclists.
Council officers have rejected claims that the measure would cause traffic jams or force large numbers of cars into surrounding streets.
Ian Davey, the chair of the council's transport committee, said: "Our transport experts say these changes will make the junction safer for everyone.
"The improvements overall will make the Seven Dials a much more pleasant place to be, so we are delighted that the vast majority of residents and local traders support the proposals."
The committee meets to consider the plans on January 15.

The Holiday is the type of welcome diversion that only Meyers still seems to specialize -- a romantic comedy where Barbara Stanwyck and Rosalind Russell would have been just as natural as Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet and where the one liners fly like confetti.
This melding of comedic minds is one of the better holiday gifts we've received, cinematically speaking.
If you're willing to embrace a bit of corniness for the sake of some incisive humor, a few poignant moments and enjoyable scenarios, make time for The Holiday.
The alluring surfaces of other people's lives can be deceiving, though generally not in a Nancy Meyers comedy, where the thin veneer of fantasy cloaks ... more fantasy.
The dialogue has a perky synthetic sheen, and with the exception of Diaz, Meyers brings out the best in her actors.
Even though almost everything about it feels forced and its casting chemistry hardly sizzles, its heart is in the right place, it has its quota of funny and touching moments, and it's ultimately fairly enjoyable.
Law shines like a sunbeam, warming the film with rakish charm and unexpected emotionalism.
Admitting that it's formulaic doesn't make it any less so, but it's enjoyable in a mushy, easily digested sort of way.
There is bound to be a large appreciative audience for this chick flick. But it might not be you.
Meyers can write a good zinger, and she has a knack for casting actors who not only look good in bed, but are talented enough to rise above the material and, in some cases, nearly transform it (save Diaz). But make no mistake: We're a long way here from Ben Hecht and Preston Sturges.
Ms. Meyers, whose ambitions are telegraphed by her film's title, which directly invokes George Cukor's lovely 1938 romp "Holiday," has created a cumbersome vehicle by saddling Iris with a flamboyantly glamorous Los Angeles double, Amanda. As played by Cameron Diaz with oodles of charm and not an ounce of persuasion, Amanda doesn't as much mirror Iris's love troubles as throw them into wincing relief.
iIt's far less sickly than plenty of yuletide offerings, last year's "The Family Stone" being one shudder-worthy example.
The Holiday is a 131-minute romantic comedy for those who, if they had their way, would still be watching "Love Actually."
Complaining about the gooey and generic The Holiday is as useless as railing against fruitcake - this is a slick, throwaway chick flick designed to provide nothing more than mindless diversion between bouts of shopping.
This is familiar territory for writer-director Nancy Meyers, Hollywood's queen of the chick flick. Her latest has charming moments and a hopeful message for despondent singles, but it lacks the emotional resonance of Meyers' "Something's Gotta Give" and the zaniness of "What Women Want."
The Holiday is no vacation. Sloppy writing, an overindulgent editor, and poor casting have taken an intriguing premise and transformed it into an uneven mess.
For some (okay, me), The Holiday, like the holidays, will require some girding up, and is best met halfway with a self-immunizing smile. Otherwise, the good cheer may ring false; worse, it might even seem to sell love cheap, and lovers short.
His (Law's) is the standout performance, probably because it's quiet and reflective and nuanced amidst the flurries of relationship talk.
The Holiday drags on for more than two hours, long enough for even the most ardent suitor to lose interest. The premise, so delectable at the start, quickly begins to feel tired and oversold.
Winslet is an actress, Diaz is not. The screenplay by Nancy Meyers, who directed, has dialogue that is not near the snap level of, say, Nicole Holofcener's comparable "Friends With Money."
The problem is that happy endings this strident and overextended begin to seem somewhat desperate.
In what was clearly designed to be a chick flick, the on-screen chicks work hard at being endearing, while Jude Law, as Amanda's more than conversational partner, charms everyone effortlessly and gets the best lines.
Even with a wild card like Black desperately retooling his lines, there's nothing authentic or personal about The Holiday--it's as chilling as heart-warmers get.
This overproduced romantic comedy doesn't even qualify as fluff; it's flat, featureless plastic.

Another Win for Illinois: Now Worst Debtor State
On the same day that it was reported that the checks sent to Illinois lottery winners had bounced, another more serious announcement was made. Moody's investment service had cut the state's credit rating from A1 to A2 making the Land of Lincoln the worst state in the union… again.
Now Illinois has the lowest credit rating of any state thanks to its inability to solve is increasing pension debt problems, its over spending, and its other overwhelming financial problems.
A second service, Standard & Poor's, ranked only California lower than Illinois.
The Democrat Party has destroyed the state. There won't be any fixing this until the politicians have been chastened and the Democrat Party is shaken from power. Further it won't happen until the state's Republican Party finally stops being the Democrat's handmaidens, supping on the scraps from the Democrat's table and starts acting like a real Republican Party.
Unfortunately, I don't see that happening until the state utterly crashes and burns. Imagine the whole state like Detroit. Then you'll start to see what I mean.

UNH Republicans hear about debts they'll have to cover
With the nation drowning in debt, Gault fears for his generation and the financial burden that lies ahead.
"I've got bad news for you. Your parents and grandparents just threw a heck of a party and you guys came home and there was a keg tipped over on the floor, beer everywhere. Someone tore down the shades and the TV is busted and you guys are going to have to clean it up," Moore told the students.
"That's going to be a huge issue and a huge drag on the economy, and that's one of the reasons why we actively advocate for limited spending. We need to get our spending under control to make sure we have a growing economy because that's the fastest way to pay off debt," Moore said.
"We need to encourage people like you to understand and talk about it because we are losing," he said.Senior Phil Boynton, president of the UNH College Republicans, said his goal has been to bring in people to share different opinions and viewpoints on the direction of the Republican Party.

text: Klorane Soothing Shampoo Review The Soothing Shampoo That Finally Cured My Itchy Scalp by Maria Del Russo 3/19/14 0 Reactions 42 Shares Print 8 0 7 27 0 We typically think of scalp-soothing, antidandruff shampoos as overly clinical and medicinal. So when I heard about Klorane's Shampoo with Peony ($20), I was a little skeptical. My scalp was a little worse for the wear after this Winter, and I found myself scratching at more than the typical tickle (as gross as that is). This hair cleanser is made with peony extract, and I thought it smelled just a little too sweet to actually do anything worthwhile. But after one shower, I was a complete convert. The Klorane formula incoporates an ingredient called paeoniflorin, which has been proven to soothe against irritants and free radicals. So this is one shampoo you'll want to use all year. See, you can have healthy hair without giving up your love of floral suds.

Small and intimate...reasonably priced - fantastic salmon...outdoor dining...just off the beaten path...quiet....great end to a very crowded day.
What a great find,off the beaten path,in downtown Napa. Great service excellent food and service.My husband raved about his meat loaf,I raved about our shared butter lettuce "wedge", a novel take on an old standard .I also had excellent Ahi ,served with a side salad,a very excellent presentation.We will return often as we live nearby.
Food was great and view was wonderful on the river - loved sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful weather. Great evenng!
Loved everything about this restaurant, food, service, decor... the list goes on!! Really stood out as my most enjoyable dining experience ever!!!
Pearl 's regular customers are the local residents. That says a lot about a place. I often have lunch there and have to force myself not to always get their totally divine fish tacos. Sometimes they have soft shell crab sandwiches or a grilled cheese with out of the garden fresh tomatoes and basil. Always dependably good!
Pearl tends to be missed by the casual visitor, and while it's a good thing for locals, it's really too bad if you miss this place.
Was not over the top but food was very good and service was excellent. Cute atmosphere and priced fair! I got the mexi type chicken dish and ate every bite!
Totally lucked out by stumbling upon this place! We were looking for a good wine spot before dinner and stopped here. The hostess and owner recommended some good wine bars in the area and because of her friendliness, we decided to come back there for dinner. Sooo glad we did. She was nice enough to take us without reservation and...

Pdvsa signs USD 6 billion loans with China
The agreements signed with Pdvsa also include the expansion of oil fields developed in the Orinoco Belt
State-run oil holding Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa) signed new lines of credit with China amounting to USD 6 billion, which are aimed at strengthening oil industry operations and purchasing equipment.
In the framework of the Tenth Meeting of the China-Venezuela Joint Committee, Rafael Ramírez, Venezuela's Minister of Energy and Petroleum, said that China had agreed to a new USD 4 billion loan, with an eight-year term, at the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) plus 5%. Ramírez, who is also the president of Pdvsa, said that the funds would be used to develop joint projects in the Orinoco Oil Belt, because the government's goal is to increase oil production in the area to 1.1 million bpd by 2014.
In addition to this loan agreement, China Development Bank granted two other loans amounting to USD 2 billion. One of the credits, totaling USD 1.5 billion, will be used to fund refining projects. A USD 500 million letter of credit will be used to purchase Chinese equipment, "including oil drills and other equipment needed for oil operations," Ramírez said.
The agreements signed with Pdvsa also include the expansion of oil fields developed in the Orinoco Belt.
Pdvsa's president stressed that in addition to the Junín 4 blocks, Chinese companies will develop the Junín 1, Junín 8, Boyacá 4 and MP3 blocks, which is the area that had been granted to Chinese-Venezuelan joint venture Sinovensa. "Sinovensa is already producing 112,000 barrels a day and we want to expand oil output to 330,000 bpd by 2016."
In the Tenth Meeting of the China-Venezuela Joint Committee, the government also signed another loan agreement with China Development Bank.
Venezuela signed the renewal of the Heavy Fund for a total of USD 4 billion. Ramírez said that the original conditions of the loan were kept unchanged. He reiterated that Venezuela only ships 410,000 bpd to China in order to pay off loans.

Living with HIV/AIDS (II)
At first she agreed that I use her real name, that she had no problems with that at all. After all, living with HIV had driven her to help others as a workshop facilitator giving talks and conducting seminars, or as a volunteer for local AIDS Service Organizations like Acción Solidaria (Solidary Action) and Mujeres Unidas por la Salud (Women United for Health, or Musa), a support group network for HIV-positive women. But when we were well into the interview, the realization that she might lose her private health insurance coverage made her change her mind.

Madeleine Sharp obituary: Doctor and peace campaigner who worked tirelessly for humanitarian causes in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia
Sunday 13 April 2014
Had the founder of the NHS, Aneurin Bevan, not made grants available for the poor to train as doctors, Madeleine Sharp would have remained a nurse. It was the support she received to study at Edinburgh University Medical School that began her international career as a practical Christian Socialist, peace campaigner, inner-city GP and medical aid-worker to the war-ravaged countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
At her funeral at her parish church in Coventry, the Vietnamese Ambassador, Fo Kwan Min, said that she represented the best that Britain had given to the people of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. "We are thankful for such a wonderful person," he said. "She touched my life with her devotion for over 50 years – first as a peace activist and then organising medical aid."
Madeleine Agnes Sharp was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1920. At school she developed a photographic memory; even in retirement she could recite all the poems and songs she had been taught. Her parents could not afford to pay for her to train as a doctor, so she served during the Second World War in Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. Her experiences in India convinced her to look at practical ways in which Christianity could be used to better the majority.
The NHS grant enabled her to graduate from Edinburgh University Medical School. She became a GP at an inner-city practice in Coventry and stayed there for over 30 years, retiring as the senior partner.
Sharp was never afraid to stand up for the poor and downtrodden, whether it was fighting for better food in hospitals, opposing production-line maternity wards where babies were routinely induced to make life easier for the consultants, and opposing US involvement in Vietnam. In 1965 she joined the Medical Aid Committee for Vietnam, which later became the Medical & Scientific Aid to Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia. Sharp served as Hon Secretary from 1987-2009. She could persuade even the most cynical journalist to take an interest in their work: those sparkling blue eyes and sense of humour quickly got most peoples' support.
A major problem for her committee was the number of people who had lost legs due to stepping on land mines. Western technology was too expensive, but Sharp came across a limb that was easy to make in a low-technology environment. She was happy to show "before" and "after" films to anyone who expressed the slightest interest. The sight of a one-legged man being fitted with one of these prosthetic limbs and then jumping on his bike usually convinced everyone.
Sharp also worked with the Vietnamese government to reduce the high rates of infant mortality, improve medical training and see how traditional treatments could work alongside Western medicine.
Sharp was awarded the MBE for her work defending human rights and humanitarian causes in Southeast Asia. She was a leading member of the Lord Mayor's Peace Committee and attracted international speakers to give the annual Peace Lecture in Coventry, including Ted Heath, Mo Mowlam and Harold Wilson. She was also awarded the Vietnamese Government's Order of Friendship in 1992, the Coventry Peace Prize in 2004 and the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Order of Merit in 2013.

It's not like I chop anything—we're in San Francisco—but I actually read about it a year or two ago, in this article about the people who make them from scratch. I find people that make things from scratch really interesting—it's a craft that's kind of been forgotten and isn't really modern, because we've spent so much of our time on technology.

Britain launches genome database to improve patient care
LONDON (Reuters) - Up to 100,000 Britons suffering from cancer and rare diseases are to have their genetic codes fully sequenced and mapped as part of government efforts to boost drug development and improve treatment.
Britain will be the first country to introduce a database of genetic sequences into a mainstream health service, officials say, giving doctors a more advanced understanding of a patient's illness and what drugs and other treatments they need.
It could significantly reduce the number of premature deaths from cancer within a generation, Prime Minister David Cameron's office said in a statement.
"By unlocking the power of DNA data, the NHS (National Health Service) will lead the global race for better tests, better drugs and above all better care," Cameron said on Monday.
His government has set aside 100 million pounds ($160 million) for the project in the taxpayer-funded NHS over the next three to five years.
Harpal Kumar, chief executive of the charity Cancer Research UK, said the work would uncover new information from which doctors and scientists will learn about the biology of cancers and develop new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat them.
He said some targeted, or personalized, cancer treatments such as Novartis' Gleevec, or imatinib - a drug for chronic myeloid leukemia - are already helping to treat patients more effectively.
Some critics of the project, known as the "UK genome plan", have voiced concerns about how the data will be used and shared with third parties, including with commercial organizations such as drug companies.
Genewatch, a campaign group fighting for genetic science and technologies to be used in the public interest, has said anyone with access to the database could use the genetic codes to identify and track every individual on it and their relatives.
Cameron's office said the genome sequencing would be entirely voluntary and patients would be able to opt out without affecting their NHS care. It said the data would be made anonymous before it is stored.

WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 11/26/12 -- FASTCASE, the case for speed, has unveiled a new case that dramatically improves the connection speed and performance of the iPad®. Consumers and executives use the iPad, the most popular tablet in the world, in a host of new scenarios. FASTCASE has developed patented technology and a unique design that have been tested and proven in labs certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to enable the iPad to run as much as 5X faster while optimizing signal strength.
Consumers and executives now utilize the iPad for both everyday functions and business needs. So they require faster, more consistent performance to access the Internet, and to upload and download cloud-based apps. Enterprise executives now have a new opportunity to get ahead of the game in today's real-time business environment.
Verified by third-party research including FCC-certified labs and WIRED® magazine, FASTCASE offers the following benefits:
- Improves cellular signal strength by up to 10X over any other case, including the Apple® SmartCase®
- Enables up to 6.6X better Wi-Fi reception compared to other leading cases
- Can improve range on both cellular and Wi-Fi networks
- Allows for more consistent connections with less dropped data
- Speeds Wi-Fi uploads by up to 4X and downloads by up to 5X
- Reduces wireless radiation exposure by up to 88 percent below the FCC safety limit.
"Tablets are now fully integrated into our lives whether at work or play," said Drew Wilkins, Vice President of Marketing, FASTCASE. "A connection that is both fast and steady is essential for consumers because most iPad Web apps rely on it. FASTCASE is the only case on the market today that addresses the need for on-the-go productivity and consistent speed. Anyone who needs iPad apps to perform quickly will find that FASTCASE is an indispensable tool."
The 'Human Sensor' Performance Problem
iPads with cellular technology contain a 'human sensor' designed to power down the iPad's cellular antenna when it gets too close to the human body. Apple designed this solution to comply with FCC safety limits for cell phone radiation exposure. The problem for consumers, however, is that the iPad's sensor cannot distinguish a case from the human body or any other solid. So all other cases on the market (except FASTCASE) trigger this sensor and cause iPads to limit their transmitted power by up to 90%. This result translates into a problem: any iPad with a protective case is limited to running at as low as 10% of optimal power and performance. FASTCASE is uniquely designed to be compatible with the human sensor, allowing iPad performance to be fully realized while reducing wireless radiation exposure by up to 88 percent below the FCC safety limit.
In order to function properly, iPad applications such as Gmail®, Facebook® and Skype® depend on a strong signal and steady connection. When iPad apps work faster, users can work more productively. Poor reception, however, can interfere with all kinds of important activities -- from on-the-go presentations to the ability to share files or check email.
Your iPad Can Go Faster
FASTCASE allows the iPad to work at optimal signal strength, so that executives can work faster. Engineered for signal intelligence, FASTCASE is embedded with passive antennas that can improve connection, signal, and reception. For once, iPad users who want a protective case can use their tablets the way that Apple intended.
FASTCASE is manufactured by Pong Research Corporation, the pioneer in radiation-controlling mobile cases. Pong cases are renowned for their ability to redirect, diffuse, and redistribute potentially harmful wireless radiation away from users' bodies. Pong's cases also improve device connectivity, and can better performance and conserve battery life. FASTCASE is specifically designed for the iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular series, enabling faster device speed and performance while reducing exposure to radiation.

About FASTCASE
FASTCASE engineers its patented cases to optimize the signal strength and increase the speed and efficiency of the iPad while reducing users' wireless radiation exposure. Designed by scientists and proven in FCC-certified labs, FASTCASE products are the new solution for executives needing 24/7, fast access to their cloud-based apps.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff hap...

Athens, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Javarez Willis scored a game-high 21 points as the Ohio Bobcats pulled out a 56-54 victory over the Wright State Raiders in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament at the Convocation Center.
Willis knocked down 5-of-6 shots from 3-point range for Ohio (25-11), which will have to wait for other second round action to finish up before its next opponent is determined.
AJ Pacher had 16 points to lead Wright State (21-15). Matt Vest tacked on 13 points and Tavares Sledge collected 11 rebounds.
Wright State clung to a 21-20 lead at halftime. The Raiders only connected on 23.3 percent from the floor, but four of their seven field goals came from beyond the arc in the first half. Ohio only had eight field goals in the frame, three of which came from long range.
The Bobcats erased a 48-43 deficit with just over five minutes to play by ripping off a 12-2 run. Trailing 55-50 with 32 seconds to play, Wright State made a late run but it came up short when Vest missed a 3-pointer in the final seconds.
Wright State lost despite a 39-34 edge on the glass.

Senoritas keeps audience at arm's length: review
Colombia-born, Toronto-based filmmaker Lina Rodriguez explores the life of a Bogota party girl in her feature directing debut Senoritas.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Starring Maria Serrano. Directed by Lina Rodriguez. 87 minutes. Opening Friday Aug. 22 at TIFF Bell Lightbox. 14A
In Colombia-born, Toronto-based filmmaker Lina Rodriguez's feature directing debut Senoritas, a man turns to central character Alejandra (Maria Serrano) and chastises her for observing rather than participating in life.
It's also the central sticking in point in this meandering, experimental drama about a rootless young Bogota woman who shares an apartment with her mother and seems to do little else but drink, dance, hang out with her younger pals and soupily make out with random men.
These kissing sessions, like so many other scenes, are long affairs, as Rodriguez's unblinking camera focuses on one event for lengthy minutes without the help of a narrative.
It all unfolds in real time as Alejandra's timid boyfriend breaks up with her during a car ride through the city, or while we watch her mutely applying makeup while her mother (Clara Monroy) sits at her shoulder nagging her to drink some juice before she goes out.
The isolated events of Alejandra's life eventually come together as an exploration of her personality, defined by a desperate need to fit in somewhere. But they do try our patience, especially in the case of a scene which goes on for more than five long minutes where she simply walks home.
The camera sits just off her shoulder as we watch the back of Alejandra's head, her heels clicking and scuffing on the sidewalk. A whistle from a passing man breaks the monotony as her steps speed up temporarily.
It tests our patience and our willingness to engage in the story, which Rodriguez — who also works for TIFF as manager, communications — clearly wants to tell us.
There's a sting coming when Alejandra takes an out-of-town trip to a small resort with her friends and a poolside game of truth or dare reveals unwelcome realities. But first we have to sit through a long scene where the characters try to all climb onto a life raft in the pool.
Serrano, who echoes Girls' Gaby Hoffmann, reveals her character in small stages but she's hampered by a frustrating lack of narrative. A desire to avoid the obvious and break from conventional filmmaking structures is admirable, but a little help, please.

Fashion Informant: The Urban Jungle
This week we visited the official residence of Hawaii's Monarchy, Iolani Palace in Downtown Honolulu. It is truly a magnificent building to visit to take in all of the Hawaiian Royal Heritage if you are planning a visit to Oahu.
What did I wear to the Urban Jungle? My Diane Von Furstenberg New Reina 2 Shift dress that I purchased solely for my trip to NYC. It has a bit of an edgy snake pattern with a combination of orange, turquoise, brown and black along with a split neck.
DVF dresses rank high on my list of favorites starting with the iconic wrap dress and shift dress. She is a pro at creating fabulous abstract prints along with striking colors that are sure to make a statement. For this outfit I kept the accessories simple and paired the dress with my Joe's sandals.
