As a high-schooler, Jake Beley '18 was a top student who qualified for the Pennsylvania state swimming championship. At Dickinson, he continues to excel in class and in varsity athletics. His dual passion for art and math led him to a major in computer science, one that draws on both his technical prowess and his love of creative problem-solving. He also enjoys swimming, exploring the great outdoors and using his computer skills to help protect the quality of local waterways.
Clubs and organizations:
Varsity swimming, Wilderness Introduction to Life at Dickinson (WILD) and Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring (ALLARM).
John Montgomery Scholarship, Walter E. Beach '56 Scholarship, Dean's List and Alpha Lambda Delta.
Favorite book:
Looking for Alaska by John Green.
Favorite movie:
The Prestige.
On choosing a major:
In high school I always enjoyed my math and art classes. Math allowed me to connect to my technical side, while art allowed for my will of creation to be expressed. Computer science combines these interests by being a discipline that pushes creative problem solving. Computer science provides enormous power by allowing large sums of data to be analyzed in nanoseconds and then reconfigured for productive use. It is this limitless power of computer science that excites me every time I talk about it.
As a kid I wanted to be …
… a paleontologist. I would draw pictures of me in an enormous sunhat, digging up dinosaur bones.
Favorite class/educational experience:
An essay question in my First-Year Seminar: "Should spirituality be incorporated into the environmental movement?" I was always interested in the environment and water conservation, but I never really thought about it in terms of spirituality. It was challenging and rewarding to craft an essay for a general audience on a topic that many people do not give much thought to. It is my favorite essay so far.
On choosing Dickinson:
I had no idea what I wanted for college, so I applied to all kinds of schools: big, small, medium, with swimming programs, without swimming programs, etc. If not for a letter from [Head Swimming] Coach Paul Richards, I would not have even applied to Dickinson, because I didn't know about the school. But once I visited, [I realized] it was the first school where I felt comfortable. Because of Dickinson's liberal-arts education, I'm able to pursue my numerous academic interests. That, combined with Dickinson's very welcoming faculty and administrators, helped me realize that Dickinson was the place for me.
Favorite place on campus:
Under a tree in a red chair, between Allison and Morgan halls.
Favorite Dining Hall food:
Baked oatmeal in the KOVE.
Favorite professor:
[Associate] Professor [of Computer Science Grant] Braught is so dedicated to helping each student. He squeezes every second of his schedule to aid students by answering questions, offering feedback and advising. He provides fantastic constructive comments, too, that really push me to re-examine the material and my thought processes.
About my internship:
Beginning last school year, I started working with the Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring (ALLARM). I was involved with a similar organization, Creek Connections, in high school and ALLARM seemed to be a perfect fit. My goal has always been to get involved with the environmental department while at Dickinson, even if my major did not match up directly with it. ALLARM provided me the opportunity to still pursue my interest in the environment while also exposing me to practical scenarios of computer science in the environmental field.
What I learned:
My work so far with ALLARM has taught me the importance of communication and about the functioning of a nonprofit. Being able to take part in a wide range of activities—from educational outreach programs to the management of ALLARM's Shale Gas water quality database—has taught me the importance of being a quick learner and taking the initiative to become involved in new opportunities. My time at ALLARM has allowed me to truly understand the power of citizen science and communities.
Proudest accomplishment (so far):
Finally mastering speaking the English language, after years and years of speech therapy. Never underestimate the power of speaking.
In a perfect world …
… everyone would realize there is worth in, and growth from, failure.

Darwinists tend to think that chimpanzees are almost human. However, in real life many animals, for instance elephants, crows and dolphins, easily beat chimpanzees in tasks that require intelligence.
One might probably even add the dog to the list:
Darwinian evolution would hardly have predicted this. While chimps lack creative skills, at least one dog does not seem to lack them.

ORLANDO -- An adolescent dwarf begins the process today of having his legs lengthened 8 inches in a surgical technique developed in Italy but used for the first time in this country on a victim of achondroplasia.
The procedure that will be used on Juan Garcia, 13, of Altamonte Springs, has been used on normal American adults but never before on a dwarf, said a spokesman for Orlando Regional Medical Center.
Garcia, a sixth-grader with normal parents and four normal siblings, is 3 feet 10 inches tall. If the process, which will take 18 months, is successful he will increase in size to 4 feet 6 inches.
Italian Dr. L. Renzi Brivio will head the surgery with Orlando surgeon Dr. Chad Price, who learned the procedure earlier this year in a trip to Verona.
The Verona Technique of limb lengthening has been performed 58 times in Europe since it was developed in 1979, Brown said Tuesday. It also has been performed at Vanderbilt University and the Mayo Clinic.
However, Brown said the most common U.S. procedure has been the German Wagner Method, in which the lower leg bones are cut and a bone graft from the patient`s hip is inserted and held in place by a metal clamp called an axial fixator.
Complications, such as infections and stretching of nerves and tissue, arise in between 60 percent and 80 percent of those undergoing the Wagner procedure, which normally lengthens a leg just 1 to 3 inches.
The Verona Technique has only a 20 percent complication rate, Brown said.
In the Verona procedure, a cut is made in the tibia and fibula -- the leg bones between the knee and ankle -- and an adjustable metal clamp is placed around the cut. But no bone graft is inserted. Instead, the natural healing over of the bones produces a callus surface called the growth plate. The metal clamp is widened at a rate of about one-half inch per week, allowing the growth plate to lengthen the leg over time, he said.

Ange Hardy – 'The Lament of The Black Sheep' - another striking collection of self-penned songs(June 11, 2014)
Listening to Ange Hardy's songs always seems to evoke some distant memories. Times and places once faded away return to life again. At once you're walking the dusty corridors of heritage and hearing its spirits rise towards today. Moving on from her debut album Bare Foot Folk, on her latest album she delivers another striking collection of self-penned songs that retain and amplify the edge of inheritance - 'The Lament of The Black Sheep' offers original, living songs bathed in echoes of deeply felt tradition.
From the presence and potency of the opener 'The Bow to The Sailor' through a gently inventive interpretation of the classic nursery rhyme with 'The Lament of The Black Sheep' to the desperate understanding and sorrowful refusal of'The Gambler's Lot' there's a journey through contrasting influences and expressions. This album delivers cautionary tales, relates sad stories, clarifies simple virtues and lays bare tender poetry blended with stirring melodies – 'The Daring Lassie' is a personal and expressive tale, there's deeply-felt loss within 'The Sailor's Farewell', gentle perceptive humour striding through 'The Woolgatherer' while the soft empathy of 'The Raising and The Letting Go' is a simple delight.
Ange Hardy adopts an approach to her music that mixes a fine appreciation of personal examination, a reflection of heritage and its entwining roots, with the ability to turn its anecdotes into words and music that make statements impossible to ignore. You only have to listen to 'The Lament of The Black Sheep' to hear the living heart of folk music beating throughout.
Playing alongside Ange Hardy on 'The Lament of The Black Sheep' are James Findlay (vocals, fiddle) Lukas Drinkwater (double bass, backing vocals) Jon Dyer (flute, whistle) Alex Cumming (accordion, backing vocals) and Jo May (percussion, spoons).

Editor's note: The presidential nominating contests in both parties will come down to the California primary.
For Democrats, 548 delegates are at stake — 11.5% of the total. For Republicans, 172 delegates are at stage — 6.9% of the total. Of those, for Democrats, 158 (29%) are divided proportionally on a statewide basis, while 317 (58%) are divided proportionally by congressional district, with each district providing between 5 and 8 delegates. The remaining 73 (13%) are "superdelegates."
For Republicans, 13 (8%) are awarded statewide, with ten going to the candidate with the highest number of votes on a winner-take-all basis, and three going to "pre-determined" delegates (the State Chair, National Committeewoman, National Committeeman). Meanwhile, 159 (92%) are awarded by congressional district on a winner-take-all basis, with each district providing 3 delegates.
The result: a district-by-district battle in both parties, which we preview for you here.
CA-13: This district, which includes Berkeley, rivals San Francisco as an iconic left-wing stronghold, with Black Lives Matter protests running rampant. Represented by Barbara Lee — one of the most left-wing members of Congress — the district also has a large minority population. There are even fewer Republican voters in the 13th than across the Bay in the 12th. For the first time in history, the Berkeley College Republicans could have a direct impact.
Democrats: Clinton and Sanders will fight to a draw, with minority voters throwing their support to Hillary.
Clinton 4, Sanders 4
Republicans: Trump could win based on voter frustration with Black Lives Matter and the GOP establishment.
Trump 3, Kasich 0, Cruz 0

Do you "work out?" It's an apt term for what we do to get or stay in shape because the very name indicates it's no walk in the park. (Sometimes just thinking about working out feels like work.) Then there's the psychological gearing up one does to take it from a nagging thought in the back of your mind to undertaking the actual act.
Your workout options are limitless, it seems. Head out for a run or a bike ride. Or, stay indoors and hop on the treadmill or elliptical. Perhaps you need the motivation of a group environment. If so, you probably frequent one of the many gyms and fitness clubs that exist that offer group exercise classes. Even though there are a lot of options at your disposal, like your workout shorts, they are definitely not "one size fits all."
No matter what you choose to do, Lake Park Swim & Fitness in Menasha has got you covered. With state-of-the-art amenities within a luxurious 22,000-square foot facility, along with a staff committed to your success, working out becomes less of a grind and more of something you can look forward to. And if you enjoy what you do, you're more likely to continue with your fitness regimen and be more successful at accomplishing your fitness goals. To learn more about what Lake Park has to offer, turn to page 50.
Desiree Janelle has a great article this month about the power of laughter. She writes, "Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused and alert."
This article really resonated with me. I have a dry sense of humor and a good sense of humor is also what attracts me to others. My fondest memories of time spent with friends and family involves laughter. You don't have to get my perverse take on life, but if you take yourself — or life — too seriously, I feel sorry for you. Life's too short not to laugh. Try to do it every day at least once. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel.
To a happy, healthy (and humorous) September

Also - click on the "Meadow Creek Parkway" or "Charlottesville Circuit Court" labels below to see the history of this project and the case that started in February, 2009.
Case: Peter Kleeman, et al. v. City of Charlottesville, et al. (Record No. 092113)
Justices of the Supreme Court of Virginia on the three-justice panel hearing the oral argument:
.... Justices Barbara Milano Keenan (panel chair); Donald W. Lemons; S. Bernard Goodwyn
The argument as prepared for presentation:
It is our belief that the two paragraphs of Article VII – Section 9 of the Virginia Constitution state clearly how rights in and to city or town owned public places can be sold or the right to use public land can be granted and a plain language reading of this section is the basis of our appeal before this court.
The City of Charlottesville passed an ordinance on June 2, 2008 by 3/5 affirmative vote of council granting a permanent easement to VDOT for a road right-of-way on city owned land used by the city school system and the public.
We claim that the transfer of right to use this public place by deed of permanent easement was not carried out in compliance with Article VII – Section 9.
This section requires:
.... If right-of-way was sold to VDOT, then a 4/5 affirmative vote of council is required to pass the ordinance or resolution (as provided in paragraph 1 of Section 9);
.... If the right-of-way is granted other than by sale, then it can only be granted for a period not to exceed 40 years (as provided in paragraph 2 of Section 9).
The deed of easement filed in the Albemarle County Courthouse specified that the right-of-way) is granted permanently. Given that the enabling ordinance was only passed with a 3/5 affirmative vote of council, the deed filed is neither in compliance with paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 of Article VII – Section 9.
The deed itself doesn't state if this right-of-way is provided as a sale but rather states that the perpetual right and easement is granted "in consideration of the sum of $43,120.00 paid by the Grantee to the Grantor" (by VDOT to City of Charlottesville). Neither does the deed state the right of way was granted by other than a sale. Circuit Court Judge Jay Swett accepted VDOT's claim that the right-of-way was a gift from the City of Charlottesville to VDOT with the transferred funds paying "costs to cure" associated with the gift. There is no mention of a gift in the deed, and we contend that even granting the right-of-way as a gift is subject to a maximum period of 40-years as provided in paragraph 2 of section 9.
Transferring of right-of-way by deed of easement is not the typical means VDOT has acquired right-of-way. VDOT in the past has typically purchased right-of-way and this case is the first time I am aware of that this method of right-of-way acquisition was attempted by VDOT.
This being a case without precedent in case law, this is the first opportunity for the Supreme Court of Virginia to clarify how Article VII – Section 9 should be interpreted in transferring right-of-way to city over town owned property for use as road right of way.
We believe the City of Charlottesville has gone beyond its authority given in Article VII –Section 9 in granting right-of-way over a city owned public place and request that you consider our appeal.
We ask that the deed of easement be voided and we add that VDOT has other alternatives it can pursue to acquire right-of-way that will comply with the Virginia Constitution.
End of oral presentation.
The conference call lasted about 6 minutes. At the conclusion of my presentation, the justices opted not to ask questions. Justice Keenan concluded the conversation stating that the panel would consider the argument presented and provide a written result of the panel's action in 2-3 weeks.

Other necessities and information:
Due to the wide range of temperature and climatic conditions it is advisable to dress in layers. For protection against cold, layered clothing is better than one or two thick garments. Clothing should preferably be made from natural materials, which allow the body to breathe.
Bring comfortable sport shoes for light hikes & sightseeing; hiking boots for treks; semi formal shoes for dinners/appointments/functions.
We should bear in mind that the higher the altitude, the cooler the weather, and that with a brisk wind blowing down off the mountains, even a low-lying valley can become quite chilly. The Northern and the Western part have a much harsher climate, with summer monsoon rains and winter snowfalls which may block passes leading into tourist spots. Winter in Sikkim and Darjeeling is from mid-November till March, and at this time of the year the climate is dry and sunny for the most part, temperatures peaking at around 15c. in the daytime and falling below zero at night. The monsoon usually arrives in mid-June, with light rain falling mainly in the afternoons and evenings. At the end of September, after the last of the big rains, autumn suddenly arrives, and is a magnificent season for trekking until November.
Nepali, Hindi and English are commonly spoken in the main towns and are the principal medium of instruction in schools throughout the state.
Sikkim and Darjeeling are one of the safest destinations in the world however you should still exercise caution when visiting. Avoid drinking tap water which has not been boiled at all times as most water sources in Sikkim and Darjeeling are untreated. One can easily acquire affordable treated and bottled water. People prone to car sickness should bring appropriate medicine as the winding roads on the mountains have plenty of curves and turns. Bring any medication you take regularly, or might need to take for a periodically recurring condition, such as asthma.

We've been in Texas for just about a week now. In that week we have crammed in a lot of exploring. Our house is currently in escrow and I'm holding my breath, praying that it will go through. This was technically the third offer on the house. The first was too low, the second was great but the buyers changed their minds. This offer is even higher than the last but you know, there are lots of variables that could get slippery. I'm praying that this will be the end of it so that we can settle into our own place soon.
In the meantime, we are staying with Caleb's parents and praise God for that! They have been wonderful hosts and Luca absolutely adores his Papa and Gigi. It's been so helpful to have their knowledge of the area and a welcoming home to bunk-up in while we make this huge transition.
It's been pretty cold here which is a happy change for Caleb and I. It feels good to experience winter as an actual season although I'm learning how to dress for it. So far, layers have been my friend but I hate the restrictive feeling of wearing a ton of clothes so I'll have to figure that one out. The lightening and thunder were pretty cool, I'm looking forward to more of that!
Probably the biggest challenge we're facing right now is deciding where we want to live. This area is so different from any place I've ever experienced. There's this whole huge area that is considered 'Austin.' It's not like L.A. or San Francisco where you can really clearly tell when you are in the city and when you're not. There's a downtown area but then Austin sprawls out way around it and you could be in Austin and not even see the skyline.
Also, people warned us that the traffic is REALLY bad in Austin. Here's a pic to give you an idea of what we're up against. It's been rough.
See all of those cars on the road? Horrendous. Ok, for reals, I guess it can actually be pretty bad sometimes where it's more stop and go but nothing like what we dealt with in SoCal.
So right now, we are living in the country by Canyon Lake which is a jaunt from Austin but it is beautiful. It's reminiscent of Napa actually. I love the way the fog rests underneath the trees and spills into pockets of the hills. Luca loves seeing the deer every morning while we eat breakfast.
I took Luca to The Little Gym of the first time and he LOVED it. It was a nice break for me from the sadness of moving and stress of exploring and all that comes with all of that.
When we did venture into downtown Austin I really loved it! It reminds me of San Francisco Hate/Ashbury or for you SoCal folks it's like a giant CAMP/Anti-Mall from Costa Mesa. LOVED it. I can imagine it's a lot like Portland. It seems like everyone has a cause and every restaurant caters to crazy dietary restrictions plus offers mostly locally sourced, humanely treated… etc etc. Austin is more than kinda crunchy, it's like rock hard diamond crunchy! We had Tex-Mex for lunch at Guero's which is kind of an Austin staple:
Ok, this post is getting long so I'll make the rest brief. We went to The Thinkery and Luca did NOT want to leave. We ended-up buying annual passes so that we can take advantage of it lots.
Probably the highlight of our time so far was attending Austin New Church. Of course I was so busy taking it all in that I didn't get any photos. The worship was AMAZING and the message was impactful. Best of all, the people were really friendly. We ended-up grabbing some lunch with a family who has a 3-year-old son. They just moved here 10 months ago from Chicagoland so it was cool to hear about their transition. We ate at Galaxy Cafe which had a menu that reminded me a lot of one of my favorite SoCal joints, "Gypsy Den."
After that, we did some scoping-out of neighborhoods in Austin and Buda. Here's one that I fell in love with but we're not actually looking to buy right now since we're not 100% sure where we want to be.
Here's another new development in Buda…
You may notice that both of these were taken from inside the car. One of the benefits of having a car napper!
It was so mind-blowing to walk into these beautiful HUGE homes knowing that they were in our price range. That just never happened to us in California. Some were more our style than others but really what it's going to come down to is location.
After house-hunting we met-up with a wonderful family, The Hendricksons. They moved here 3 years ago from SoCal. We were introduced to them by our former next door neighbors AND by our old friends the Rosendahls. They were so amazing! They have two boys, an 18 month old and a 4 year old. Luca had a blast with them and the adults had a good time hashing-out the differences between California and Texas.
It's so easy right now to only notice the differences. The weather. The home prices. The taxes. The shopping. The food. The fashion. The culture. But I've caught myself pleasantly surprised by the similarities too. My mind is in detective mode, hyper-sensitive to every minute detail as I try to make-sense of my new home. I've had to catch myself at times because one person, one experience can't sum up an entire area. Whether good or bad.
Last December in Napa, I remember walking to my car in the parking lot and hearing woman scoff in disgust as a car sped past her. "I forgot how rude California drivers are," she said. I smirked and shook my head. I've never thought of California drivers as rude, especially in the small town of Napa. Yet this woman had one or two bad experiences and now she has deduced that all of California is filled with rude drivers. I don't want to do that.
I don't want to siphen all of my experiences of Texas into a pot and say, "See this stew? This is Texas." That's just not fair. Sure there are some generalizations or just flat-out facts that you can name but I want to keep an open mind. There are friendly people everywhere. There are judgmental people everywhere. There are open-minded people everywhere. There are country-listening people everywhere. Red, blue, and all around the spectrum, they are everywhere. We choose to see what we want to see and we choose to surround ourselves with what we so choose.
It's human nature to make generalizations so I'm fighting hard against it. I'm so glad that I am because what I've come to find is that state lines don't mean as much as I thought they would. Making friends isn't going to be harder here just because I'm from somewhere else. We can always find people to connect with if we try. I'm sure in some places it's harder to do that than others, so far it hasn't been hard here at all and Praise God for that!!

Police Identify Suspect in Recent SC Shooting That Left Three Women Dead
A 23-year-old man, Kenneth Ancrum, has been charged in connection with the shootings at Ravenel mobile home park that left three people dead and another person hurt. The suspect Kenneth Ancrum has been officially charged with three counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and possession of a firearm during a violent crime. All three murder victims were female.
Around 1:30 pm a call came in and officers with the Charleston County Sheriff's department responded because of shots fired thinking it was a domestic dispute or disturbance. When police arrived they saw Ancrum trying to leave the mobile home park with a female passenger. Deputies state that he was trying to drag the injured female into his car.
Officers detained him and took him into custody and the officer saw the female victim has a gunshot wound to her thigh. At that point the victim was taken to a nearby medical center for treatment. When more police officers arrived on the scene they soon discovered the carnage inside the mobile home. They found two deceased women and one child inside the home, along with an unharmed four-month old baby. The child was taken care of by officers until social services arrived on the scene.
The shooting did seem to be a domestic situation that turned very bad, quickly. Investigators processed the crime scene and additionally went door to door interviewing neighbors trying to get a better idea of what exactly happened that afternoon.
South Carolina ranks as number one for violence against women and this case is a glaring example. Deaths of women in South Carolina is 2.32 killed per 100,000. This is more than two times the national average. A study showed that 94 percent of women killed in South Carolina were killed by someone they knew and usually with a gun.
"Yet in the face of these alarming statistics, more needs to be done at the federal and state levels to protect women from abuse and prevent future tragedies," Rand said.
"Domestic violence is a growing problem across the nation and when angry spouses have access to weapons it can have fatal consequences like in the above story," says Joe Saunderfur, managing partner at a top wrongful death law firm in Myrtle Beach at joeandmartin.com/myrtle-beach.
Domestic violence is one of the leading causes of death for women nationwide. Unfortunately, there is very little victims can do to protect themselves from a violent partner. Yes, courts will issue restraining orders, but when people get violent a piece of paper rarely stops them from harming a person. Victims are often forced to go into hiding and completely remake their lives in order to simply survive. The laws do not air on the side of the victim, but give too many chances to the violators. By the time a woman is taken seriously by authorities it is often too late.
If you have been the victim of domestic violence or lost a loved one due to a violent situation contact an attorney and let them help fight for you.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 29, 2015) - East Africa Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EAM) ("East Africa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce recent drill results from exploration conducted in Ethiopia on the Adyabo and Harvest projects. Results include reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Terakimti VHMS deposit and additional diamond drill holes from Mato Bula North and Mato Bula.
20 x 20 metre RC drilling is continuing at the Terakimti VHMS deposit, to provide detailed definition of the Terakimti gold oxide resource. Recent results from holes TRC019 through 042 (see Table 1), drilled in the northern section of the deposit, continue to define continuity and grade of the gold and silver enriched oxide zones, and follow on the positive results received for holes TRC01-18 (see East Africa's news release dated March 11, 2015). East Africa plans to utilize the RC drill results to update the oxide mineral resource at Terakimti, with the intent of applying for a Mining Licence.
Drill results for TRC019 to 042 are presented in Table 1. Highlights from the drilling results received include:
Gold Rich Oxide
Gold-Silver Rich Oxide
VMS Mineralization (locally supergene enriched)
Drilling of the oxide resource is now almost complete with 92 drill holes totaling 4,560m for an average drill hole depth of 49.6m.
Table 1 - RC drilling results TRC019 to TRC042.
Click here to view a map and type sections of the Terakimti oxide RC drill program (including full intercept table), illustrating the interpretation of mineralization at surface and at depth.
Adyabo Project
Recent results for 6 diamond drill holes have been received for Mato Bula, Silica Hill North and Mato Bula North (WMD036 to 041).
Drilling at Mato Bula North included a 40m step-out to the north and an infill 40 x 40m spaced drill hole into the siliceous pipe-like Cu-rich Mato Bula North target. Results include:
Drilling at Halima Hill, a 320m southerly step out to the Mato Bula drill grid, intersected 1 metre at 0.43% copper and 1.77 grams per tonne gold from 98.5m (WMD039). The assay results and visual interpretation of alteration at Halima Hill indicate the Mato Bula system is weakening to the south. Drilling near surface at the southern end of the Jasper Hill Zone at Mato Bula also failed to intersect mineralization (WMD038). This drill hole was drilled above the plunging shoot defined at Jasper Hill in WMD027, which intersected 24.50 metres at 1.67 grams per tonne gold and 0.61 percent copper (see East Africa Metals' release dated January 15th, 2015).
Two drill holes (WMD036, WMD037) were completed as 80m step outs to a 22.91 metre at 14.34 grams per tonne gold intercept at Silica Hill North (WMD032, see East Africa Metals release dated January 15th, 2015). Neither hole intersected significant mineralization. Structural logging of the two holes and detailed 1:250 scale mapping on site has indicated structural complexity and closer spaced drilling is required to test the interpreted shoot-like geometry of the zone.
A full table of intercepts and new collar plan maps are located here.
Quality Control
The planning, execution and monitoring of East Africa's quality control programs at the Harvest and Adyabo Projects are under the supervision of Jeff Heidema, P.Geo., East Africa's Vice President Exploration. Mr. Heidema is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosures of Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Diamond drill core samples and RC samples have undergone preliminary preparation at the Acme Laboratories facility in Ankara, Turkey, and are crushed to 80% passing 10 mesh, and pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh (PRP70-1KG package). Analyses are conducted at Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada, with diamond drill analyses utilizing Aqua Regia digestion and ICP-ES for base metal and silver analyses and RC analyses utilizing Aqua Regia digestion and ICP-MS/ICP-ES(AQ270) for base metal and silver analyses. Gold analyses are conducted via Fire Assay Fusion with AA finish, and gravimetric analyses are completed for over-limit samples. Blanks and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. For core, duplicate samples are inserted into the sample stream to both monitor laboratory performance and also characterize potential mineralization.

The official daily will be your perfect assistant on this journey through the future of technology, guiding you to the most interesting points of interest."
Jaime Rivera – Pocketnow – Multimedia Manager

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is calling the top eight leaders in Congress to The White House on Sunday to continue talks on the national debt and federal deficit while opposing party positions are visible through the hard stances being taken by the Louisiana congressional delegation.
Republicans representing the state said they will oppose a package that includes any tax increases while state Democrats contend new revenue is necessary.
And Republicans from Louisiana don't believe in the Treasury's drop-dead date of Aug. 2 to have a deal, they said.
Obama administrators have said the debt ceiling must be raised by then or the nation will default on its loans for the first time, sending the national and world economies into financial chaos.
"It's more important to get our fiscal house in order than to be blackmailed by threats of Armageddon," said U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge.
U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said Democrats have offered a reasonable plan. The proposal would tax the rich, reduce corporate tax rates and close offshore tax havens for companies, she said.
"It's very balanced, it basically closes the deficit and debt, 50 percent on the revenue side and 50 percent on the tax cut side," Landrieu said. "It gets us closer to a balanced budget."
But Louisiana GOP members decry any bill that would result in raising revenue through what they consider tax increases.
"Everybody I talk to, business owners, middle class families, their concern in Washington is that we're spending too much money," U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Metairie, said. "Nobody tells me they're not paying enough in taxes."
Creating more revenue, however, will be needed to keep the nation's three top entitlement programs - Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security - solvent, said U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans.
"If we're going to reduce the deficit and debt, we need more income, which means more revenue," Richmond said. "To the extent that we can close loopholes and everybody contributes their fair share, then it gives us the ability to do both at the same time and we're a country that can do both at the same time."
Obama is asking Congress to raise the amount of money the nation can borrow above its current record $14.3 trillion. Republicans are holding back their vote until more cuts to the federal budget deficit, now a record $1.4 trillion in the hole, can be achieved.
U.S. Rep. John Fleming, R-Mansfield, doesn't believe that America will default on its loans and is willing to remain in a stare-down with the Obama administration, he said.
"I'm willing to take the risk to do the right thing," Fleming said. "The government will pay its obligations; the idea of us defaulting on our loans would not happen under any circumstances."
Balancing the federal budget should be the top priority, U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said
"We can't put off meaningful cuts for one year or five years or ten years, we need them right now," Vitter said in a Senate floor speech last week.
That could mean cuts to sacrosanct Republican departments such as defense, which the party has done its best to protect. U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia, was elected as one of the renegade freshmen with support from Tea Party activists. Everything needs to be on the table, Landry said.
"Defense is something that is near and dear to me, but it matters not that it's near and dear to me, it's prioritizing our needs and wants," Landry said.
"If you can't swim and you're on a boat that is floating, you want a life jacket," Landry said. "If you can't swim and it's sinking, you need a life jacket."
U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, is concerned about the impact any economic crisis would have on the worth of the dollar, he said. But he opposes any legislation with taxes, he said.
"I just don't think that we have to do that," Alexander said. "Everybody in the Congressional Budget Office and everybody else tells us that revenues are not the problem, it's a spending problem."
Word leaking out of the talks is that both sides are willing to take steps on an issue that hasn't occurred in over 20 years: an overhaul of the tax system.
U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, sits on the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee that writes the nation's tax laws. Boustany won't vote for a tax increase, and overhauling the tax code is a way to address the problem, he said.
"My position is let us do tax reform and do it correctly," Boustany said. "We think we can lower rates and really simplify and clean up a lot of these loopholes. I think it's important to understand, who is benefiting from these things and does it promote economic growth?"
Traditionally both sides go nose to nose before coming up with a deal that has, in some cases, gone down to the last minute, such as passing this year's budget in April. But former U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston, of Metairie, sees a different climate this year, he said.
An 18-year U.S. House veteran and former Appropriations Committee chairman, Livingston doesn't see the sides budging.
"My sense is that they would rather have an issue than a settlement," Livingston said. "I really think both sides are dug in. I've not seen it this polarized."

Terror attack in UK matter of 'when, not if', says top cop
Britain's top policeman said on Sunday that a terror attack was a question of when, not if, but sought to reassure the people by detailing several steps to deal with a situation similar to the attacks in Paris in November 2015.world Updated: Jul 31, 2016 19:39 IST
A terror attack on UK was a question of when, not if, the country's top cop said on Sunday while detailing several steps taken to deal with a situation similar to the attacks in Paris in November 2015.
Britain has been under a terror threat level of "severe" for some years, which means an attack is "highly likely." The last terror attack in the country was in May 2013, when Lee Rigby, a fusilier in the British army, was murdered in Woolwich, south-east London.
After every terror attack in Europe, there was a "greater sense of fear" that Britain will be the next victim, Scotland Yard chief Bernard Hogan-Howe said.
People wanted him to give reassurance, he said adding he could not "do that entirely."
"I realise that some of what I am telling you today is not reassuring. I hope that some of it is more so," he said in a statement.
"The threat we all face is very real, no one watching events in Europe can think otherwise, but it is important that we have a shared understanding of the work that goes on every day to stop attacks happening and to prepare for the time when we are faced with this terrifying threat".
Hogan-Howe listed the counter-terror mechanism, including the relationship between MI5, MI6 and the police, which he described as "world-beater". Gun controls and the fact that Britain is an island mean terrorists would struggle to get the firearms required to repeat attacks similar to those in Europe.
"This gives a solid base as it means the UK environment is immediately hostile to the terrorist. I would also add to this the British way of life and culture…Our approach to Muslims is no different because these attacks purport to be committed in the name of Islam. We don't stigmatise the millions of British Muslims whose values and faith completely reject the terrorists' litany of hate," he said.
"But even with this solid foundation to prevent attack, I have renewed our focus on what we will do when terrorists breach these defences. Within hours of the terrible events in Paris last November, I recognised that the attack we had witnessed just 200 miles from London required a huge response," Hogan-Howe added.
Britain has increased the number of specially trained and equipped officers to confront heavily armed terrorists, and is also training hundreds of extra officers to supplement numbers during an attack similar to that in Paris.
"For the first time our team of Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers who train for the very highest attack risk are ready 24 hours a day. They have the rope, marine and other advanced skills needed to tackle the toughest of challenges", Hogan-Howe added.

"I'm a little nervous about this new job," I said to Good Man last night, "because I am going to have so much more freedom in my teaching. And it's a new school, new grade…"
"Be like a roach."
I looked at Good Man. "What?
"You know, adapt to your environment."
"Can you please tell me to be a dandelion next time instead of a roach? Do you remember what 'dandelion' is? That yellow flower that gets white poofy seeds that you blow off. It's a weed. It lives everywhere."
"Oh, 민들레. But it is Korean saying."
I shook my head, "I don't believe you."
"바퀴벌레 같은 적응력. 바퀴벌레 means 'bug with wheels—'"
"'Bug with wheels'?!"
"Yeah, it is 'roach.' And 적응력 means 'adaptable.'"
"Like 노력? 'To make an effort?'"
"Same 력, it means 'ability.'"
I thought for a moment. "No wonder Koreans are so full of han, they're used to being compared to roaches!"

One of the better Quarter dives, Erin Rose is loud and busy, but affable. There's more stuff on the walls than a Vatican library, so if you're not talking to a local eccentric or a service industry maniac you can stay pleasantly diverted by taking inventory. The place reads like a book. If you need a quick respite from Bourbon Street, this is where you should go, though it does get crowded...
I have officially found my go-to bar for any future visits to the French Quarter. But before I continue let me preface this review by saying, I am not particularly fond of bars, I seldom drink, and I hate crowds. I'm more like George Thorogood: "I drink alone/Yeah with nobody else."
...a dark convivial pub where the emphasis is on volume, both in the form of jolly singalongs with the stereo blasting crowd favorites and in the shape of volume drinks poured by the shot or the pint. Prices are cheap and the patrons are friendly. As a bonus, you can...

Insecure defaults in Intel AMT allow an intruder to completely bypass user and BIOS passwords and TPM and Bitlocker PINs to backdoor almost any corporate laptop in a matter of seconds.
F-Secure reports a security issue affecting most corporate laptops that allows an attacker with physical access to backdoor a device in less than 30 seconds. The issue allows the attacker to bypass the need to enter credentials, including BIOS and Bitlocker passwords and TPM pins, and to gain remote access for later exploitation. It exists within Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) and potentially affects millions of laptops globally.
The security issue "is almost deceptively simple to exploit, but it has incredible destructive potential," says Harry Sintonen, who investigated the issue in his role as senior security consultant at F-Secure. "In practice, it can give an attacker complete control over an individual's work laptop, despite even the most extensive security measures."
Intel AMT is a solution for remote access monitoring and maintenance of corporate-grade personal computers, created to allow IT departments or managed service providers to better control their device fleets. The technology, which is commonly found in corporate laptops, has been called out for security weaknesses in the past, but the pure simplicity of exploiting this particular issue sets it apart from previous instances. The weakness can be exploited in mere seconds without a single line of code.
The essence of the security issue is that setting a BIOS password, which normally prevents an unauthorised user from booting up the device or making low-level changes to it, does not prevent unauthorised access to the AMT BIOS extension. This allows an attacker access to configure AMT and make remote exploitation possible.
Although the initial attack requires physical access, Harry explains that the speed with which it can be carried out makes it easily exploitable in a so-called 'evil maid' scenario. "You leave your laptop in your hotel room while you go out for a drink. The attacker breaks into your room and configures your laptop in less than a minute, and now he or she can access your desktop when you use your laptop in the hotel WLAN. And since the computer connects to your company VPN, the attacker can access company resources." Harry points out that even a minute of distracting a target from their laptop at an airport or coffee shop is enough to do the damage.
The issue affects most, if not all laptops that support Intel Management Engine/Intel AMT. It is unrelated to the recently disclosed Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities.
To end users
- Never leave your laptop unwatched in an insecure location such as a public place.
- Contact your IT service desk to handle the device.
- If you're an individual running your own device, change the AMT password to a strong one, even if you don't plan on using AMT. If there's an option to disable AMT, use it. If the password is already set to an unknown value, consider the device suspect.
To organisations
- Adjust the system provisioning process to include setting a strong AMT password, and disabling AMT if this option is available.
- Go through all currently deployed devices and configure the AMT password. If the password is already set to an unknown value consider the device suspect and initiate incident response procedure.

Making Basil Herb Vinegar at home is simple and can become a special ingredient in salad dressings, marinades and other recipes requiring vinegar. The two methods for making Basil herb vinegar require no special equipment and allows you to make your own gourmet quality seasoned vinegars. The Hot method utilizes a slow low heat to impart the flavors of the herb into the vinegar. The Cold Method uses time and solar energy to impart the flavors and uses the bottle that the vinegar is purchased in, so be sure to buy a high quality vinegar with an attractive glass bottle.
1. Pour a small amount (approximately /2 cup) of the vinegar into a small clean bowl to reserve for later use after the herb sprigs have been added.
2. Place the fresh basil sprigs in the bottle of vinegar.
3. Top off to fill the bottle with the reserved vinegar and seal tightly.
4. Place the bottle on a sunny window sill for two weeks, gently shaking the bottle every day or so to mix the flavors of the herbs.
5. Soak off the manufacturer label and relabel with a decorative label.
These herbed vinegars are quite attractive and can be stored on the counter top, pantry or kitchen cupboard.
1. Place the chopped leaves in the bowl and gently crush with a wooden spoon.
2. Heat one cup of the vinegar until warm, but do not boil.
3. Pour hot vinegar over the crushed basil in the bowl and stir to mix well.
4. Crush the basil a little more to release the herb oils.
5. Leave to cool.
6. When cooled, add the remaining cup of vinegar and pour into a large jar and cap tightly.
7. Place on a sunny window sill and shake every day or so to distribute the flavors for two weeks.
8. Store as is or pour through a double layer of cheese cloth into a funnel over a clean decorative bottle.
9. Add a fresh sprig of basil into the bottle for decoration and identification purposes.
10. Label and store in the pantry, cupboard or counter top.
