A glimpse of what can be expected at Analytica 2016.
A glimpse of what can be expected at Analytica 2016.
From 10–13 May 2016 more than 1200 exhibitors will present their latest products and developments for laboratory operations at Analytica 2016 in Munich. The usual interesting analytical application areas, including food, environmental, (bio)pharmaceutical, plastics, genetic, and bioanalysis will be covered. However, this year's events will also focus on the latest technologies for "Laboratory 4.0". The exhibition is also rounded out by a unique programme of related events including Live Labs, the special show on Occupational Safety/Health and Safety in the Workplace, and the Analytica forum with focus days such as "Finance Day" or "Personalized Medicine".
Analytica Conference 2016
The Analytica conference will take place at the ICM - International Congress Center Munich - from 10–12 May 2016 as part of the international trade fair Analytica. It is a scientific highlight of the fair and will cover the analytical chemistry and bioanalysis sectors -from nano-, food-, and environmental- analysis through to imaging and "omics" techniques, as well as trends in chromatography and spectroscopy. The speakers and chairs include experts such as Gary Hieftje from Indiana University Bloomington, USA; John Yates III from The Scripps Research Institute, USA; Luigi Mondello from the University of Messina in Italy; Peter Schoenmakers from HIMS, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Andreas Manz from the KIST Europe Forschungsgesellschaft mbH, Germany; and Hans Maurer from Universität des Saarlandes, Germany.
Focusing on Energy and Raw Materials
The Analytica conference does more than give visitors a comprehensive overview of modern analysis. It also deals with socially relevant topics in which analysis techniques play a key role, which is why this year's programme of events includes two symposia on strategically important raw materials.
"Resource Analysis" on the afternoon of Tuesday 10 May focuses on the analysis of high-tech metals and other inorganic raw materials. Kim H. Esbensen from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland will hold the first lecture in this session. He is considered an expert in representative sampling, which is vitally important when examining ores and other heterogeneous materials.
Speakers at the full-day symposium on "Energy and Fuel" on Wednesday 11 May include representatives of the oil industry and scientists such as Frank Dorman from Pennsylvania State University. Together with colleagues at Penn State, Dorman detected drilling additives that are used in shaleâgas extraction in drinking water. The successful technique coupled mass spectrometry (MS) and chromatography. Lectures by industry representatives will focus on oil analysis: Frans G.A. Van den Berg from Shell Global Solutions International in the Netherlands will discuss the characterization of crude oil, and Pierre Giusti from TOTAL Refining and Chemicals in France will discuss the fingerprint analysis of crude oil and polymers.
From Proteomics to Foodomics
All four days of the Analytica conference will also address bioscientists with lectures on lab-on-a-chip, monitoring bioprocesses, and a number of other topics. There will also be several sessions on the new "omics" techniques. There will be a symposium titled "Omics Towards Personalized Medicine" on the afternoon of Tuesday 10 May. American proteome researcher Neil L. Kelleher from Northwestern University in Evanston, John Yates III from the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, and Jennifer Van Eyk from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, in addition to German and Canadian researchers, will shed light on the clinical uses of proteomics.
The session titled "Foodomics" on Tuesday morning will show that the suffix "omics" has also made its way into the sector for food analysis. Spanish food scientist Alejandro Cifuentes, who coined the term "foodomics", will explain his choice of words in an introductory lecture. After that, there will be a presentation on pesticides, among other topics. The second symposium on food analysis on Tuesday afternoon is titled "Emerging Contaminants", and it will cover pollutants such as pyrrolizidine alkaloids, mycotoxin metabolites, and perfluoroalkylated substances, which have received little attention until now.
News in Diagnostics and Drug Analysis
This year's diagnostics sessions will concentrate on common illnesses such as cancer. Among other things, "Liquid Profiling/Liquid Biopsy" on the morning of the first day of the fair will be devoted to circulating tumour DNA, tumour markers, and detecting cancer cells in blood.
The session on clinical and forensic toxicology by German "designerâdrug detective" Hans Maurer from the University of Saarland is a must for all drug analysts. On Wednesday morning, Maurer and other speakers from the United States, Sweden, Finland, Great Britain, and Spain will concentrate on MS drug detection. Kara L. Lynch from the University of California in San Francisco will discuss special drug screening techniques.
A Peek into the Nanoworld
Analyzing nanoparticles is another focal point of the Analytica conference. On Wednesday 11 May, Lihua Zhang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences will present functionalized nanoparticles for sample preparation in protein analysis. David C. Muddiman from North Carolina State University will discuss molecular imaging, which combines microscopy with MS and can therefore provide images as well as chemical information.
The symposia mentioned in this introduction are just a selection from the extensive programme of events put together by Germany's three leading scientific associations - the German Chemical Society (GDCh), the Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM), and the German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (DGKL). There will also be lectures on analyzing sewage, electro-analysis, separation techniques, and general topics, such as laboratory management and data analysis. The entire programme of events is available on-line at www.analytica.de/en/conference or at www.gdch.de/analyticaconf2016. Participating in the analytica conference is free of charge for all visitors attending the fair.

Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend's CEO wrote, "Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry." Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.

Periyar University in Salem has declared a two-day holiday after students held a demonstration over the suicide of a 23-year-old postgraduate student in the campus. And while police claim that she could have killed herself over a failed relationship, students have refused to take their word for it.
T Niveditha, the deceased, was pursuing her Masters in Botany and was in her second year. She belongs to Dharmapuri district and her father Tirumalai works in a co-operative sugar factory. Her body was discovered in her room on Saturday night. According to the police, she was alone in her room for 10 days as her roommates were away for research work. She was last seen on Friday evening by her college mates.
When the police arrived at the spot to remove her body and take it to the hospital, students refused to let them proceed. They alleged that Niveditha's suicide could be linked to a complaint of harassment given by another female student from her department against a professor only weeks ago. It was only after the police promised a fair investigation, that the body was allowed to be taken to the government hospital. However, speaking to TNM, an investigating officer says that there is no foul play.
"We found a suicide note where she says she loved a man. We are looking into whether she took this decision over a failed relationship," says the officer. "There is no name on the note or any other details," he adds.
A professor from Periyar University who spoke to TNM on the condition of anonymity points out that the police version has gaping holes.
"Even if she were to write a suicide note, won't it at least specify the name of the boy she was in a relationship with?" he asks. "Even the parents of the girl are yet to be shown this suicide note which they claim to have with them. When they came to campus the parents told us very clearly that there was no mention of any relationship from their daughter. There needs to be further investigation in this matter but the police do not seem interested in doing this," he adds.
Meanwhile, Higher Education Minister KP Anbalagan has promised a thorough police investigation and has stated that the reason for suicide will be unearthed.

CUNA is now America's Credit Unions.
A stronger voice to advance the credit union industry.
Recent information security (IS) statistics tell a scary story: The U.S. cybersecurity workforce has a shortage of 377,000 people, 57% of U.S. companies have a cybersecurity skills shortage, and the average IS professional earns nearly $120,000 a year.
"This is what we're all dealing with," says Eric Starkey, chief information officer at Louisiana Federal Credit Union in LaPlace. "We're all struggling to keep people in our shops."
Starkey led a panel discussion Tuesday at the ninth Annual Security Summit that precedes the 2022 CUNA Operations & Member Experience Council and CUNA Technology Council Conference in Las Vegas.
The panelists were:
Some strategies panelists employ to win the IS talent war:
"A lot boils down to whether you're a good leader, a good manager, and if you train people," Romano says. "This will keep people around. Happy employees will stay around."

In between the Lions and Chargers, Stefon Diggs was able to squeeze in a 300-coat giveaway for needy kids.
The Vikings star receiver returned home to the D.C. area, partnering with Operation Warm and helping hundreds of Early Childhood Academy Public Charter School students stay warm.
"We thank Stefon Diggs because he gave us coats.. so we won't be sick and it's cold outside," second-grader Jaiden Barrera told WJLA's Kellye Lynn.
If not for Diggs and partner foundation Operation Warm, kids like Barrera might've gone without in the cold.
Seventy-one percent of the school's student body (PreK through third grade) are considered at-risk. One hundred percent qualify for reduced or free lunch.
Diggs told Lynn he wants to help those students -- and their parents -- afford to bundle up.
"You know, I just try to do my part," Diggs said. "(I'm) trying to take that load off of parents who might not have it or who might have it, still just want a little assistance."

Siam Piwat set to launch the offensive for the year's second half; Firstism campaign planned to reinforce image as ultimate trendy experiences and win over target group while expanding customer base
Siam Piwat set to launch the offensive for the year's second half; Firstism campaign planned to reinforce image as ultimate trendy experiences and win over target group while expanding customer base
Siam Piwat is set to launch the offensive in the second half of the year. The company has revealed its third quarter marketing plan under the theme 'Firstism' and a strategy that encompasses "Mobile Marketing & Community" and "Customer Experience Management". To further expand its customer base, the company will introduce Siam Piwat Mobile Application, the first smart application in the retail industry to have a chat platform.
The second half of this year will see Siam Piwat focus on full integrated marketing. Extensive activities will be conducted in the areas of Mobile Marketing & Community as well as Customer Experience Management [CEM] under the third quarter theme of 'Firstism'. The aim is to reinforce Siam Piwat's status as a leader in the retail industry who is in it to bring something new and original so that consumers can enjoy 'first time' experiences and appreciate the value of being first.
Siam Piwat Mobile Application
"Siam Piwat Mobile Application". The application is the first of its kind in Asia's retail industry which combines two of today's most popular mobile platforms: informative and chat. Among informative platform's features are:
- Information on stores grouped according to each Siam Piwat shopping malls i.e. Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery and Paradise Park.

In addition, an entertainment feature is available for users to watch Absolute Siam TV via this smart application. Through Absolute Siam TV icon, shoppers can enjoy a variety of the trendiest trends, inspiring stories on art, fashion, technology and lifestyle as well as the hottest developments and sp_news_detail.
Retail industry's first - an online chat system for shopping lovers
Siam Piwat Mobile Application is the first mobile application in the retail industry to have a "Chat" platform. Once download the application, customer can chat online to communicate with fellow users just like they would do on LINE or WhatsApp. Users will enjoy chatting with close friends, their special ones or they can communicate with groups of shoppers in a club like-minded shopping lovers. Those who chat via this application will also enjoy sending cool stickers whose prints are regularly updated for them to use for free. During the launch of the new application, Siam Piwat has worked in collaboration with local world-famous illustrator Pomme Chan in the design of stickers specifically for the application.
Ms. Chanisa said, "The launch of Siam Piwat Mobile Application is a strategy to reach customers in a way that is direct, fast, extensive and efficient. We have invested to make the application as the tool for direct communication with our customers and to provide shopping convenience. Communication via mobile application will be the main system for the retail industry in the future. The latest information from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission shows that there are 90 million mobile phone numbers, which represents 132% of the population. We expect that 30% of mobile phone subscribers are smart phone users. We expect over 20,000 of them to download our application in a period of three months and 30,000 of them to download it by the end of this year. Shoppers will be able to download the application in July."
Active event marketing to build traffic and customer engagement
Ms. Chanisa said, "Competition in the retail industry worldwide is leading each shopping mall to create a wide range of promotional activities to attract customers to continually build traffic and generate sales. Siam Piwat's shopping malls are no exception. In the second half of this year, Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery have plans to hold promotional activities. There will be a total of over 50 activities to be funded by a budget of over Bht 600 million.
Siam Center presents Absolute Me, Absolute We with Cheeze
"The kick-off event for the third quarter aims to draw customers to "Siam Center presents Absolute Me, Absolute We with Cheeze", an exhibition that features the largest number of street-style fashion photos in Thailand. Customers will be allowed to take photo under the concept of 'Give & Take.' They will share good things with people around them by taking picture with Absolute Siam products which are exclusively available at Siam Center. The photography will be open every day from now until 18 July 2014. The exhibition is expected to draw over 3,000 customers who are into fashion and dressing. And when it is over, we will get an exhibition with the largest number of street fashion photos in Thailand. The photos will be on display in and outside the shopping center. It will build a closer bond between Siam Center and customers."
Innovative event 'Siam Center AR Party' first time AR technology is used in party
During 25-27 July 2014, the company will organize super chic 'Siam Piwat AR Party'. The partygoers will experience the retail industry's state-of-the-art technology. AR (Augmented Reality) technology is one of the highlights in Siam Center's icon. Those who download Siam Center Application will be able to special features smart shopping technology has to offer. Shoppers need just use the application on their smart phones to peek through an AR camera and get news, entertainment while enjoying a new shopping format that is so trendy. Siam AR Party will be held on 25 July for the first groups of invited trend leaders. Customers in general will be able to enjoy the party on 26-27 July.
Loyal customers get special VIZ Card privileges
In addition to promotions held as part of a big campaign to attract shoppers, the company is also focusing on Costumer Experience management to win over repeat visitors and keep them loyal to Siam Center in the long term.
In July 2014, the company will reward over 80,000 VIZ Card members with more special privileges beyond expectations as offered by no other privileged cards. In addition to easier discounts and points, VIZ Card will also offer members Black Carpet Experience. Among the special privileges, members will 'Be the First' to experience preview collections and shop for selected items from leading Thai designers such as Milin, Sretsis and Greyhound. In 'Be Priority,' members will be able to reserve parking space before they arrive at the shopping centre and VIP Zone is always there for VIZ Card members at famous restaurants. 'Be Reward' will make it trouble free for members to get points through Instant Redemption where all points collected will be transferred into the gift card instantly. And what is super special is they can use it to get discounts and points from the famous stores every time they shop at Siam Piwat's shopping malls. Discounts are available from stores, restaurants and hotels in Thailand and overseas.
Third quarter promotion 'Siam Fantastic First' has the biggest offer ever
The promotions and sp_news_detail in the third quarter will be in line with the company's marketing plan. The theme for the quarter is 'Firstism' under which Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery will join together to kick off "Siam Fantastic First" campaign. The campaign will offer customers a special experience of being first with Siam Piwat. From 25 June to 17 August 2014, every purchase of Bht 2,000 for items from leading brands at the three shopping's malls, shoppers are entitled to a raffle to win some fantastic prizes. Among them is the Fantastic First Trip, a package tour that will take lucky shoppers to enjoy a world–class experience: a 2014-2015 countdown at Times Square, New York, where they will fly on first class and stay at luxury accommodation. The trip and other prizes on offer are valued at over Bht 30 million.
"This sales promotion is hotter than any previous campaigns because, normally, in the middle of the year shopping mall do not spend big on marketing activities as during this period of the year, big brands would offer shoppers mid-year sale. But this year, Siam Piwat's shopping malls chose to break away from the norm. We added this special campaign with unprecedented special offer to get shoppers excited to spend more money."
"We are confident that our marketing plans and sales promotions for the third quarter will help stimulate consumer spending and generate sales for our tenants. We also have something big in store for the fourth quarter of this year as we gear towards the year-end shopping season," said Ms. Chanisa.

Norway's Emil Iversen was crowned 50-kilometres cross-country skiing world champion on Sunday after initial winner Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo was disqualified by the race jury for obstruction.
Klaebo raced side-by-side with Russian Alexander Bolshunov on the home straight, and Bolshunov's ski pole broke as both made contact on the outside of the course.
Klaebo crossed the line first and Iversen also passed Bolshunov who stood no chance with one pole and burst into tears after crossing the line in third and his bid for victory ruined yet again.
Finland's Iivo Niskanen finished the race in seventh place, but was moved to sixth place after Klaebo's disqualification.
The jury decision came almost an hour after the concluding race of the championships, and stood after an ensuing Norwegian protest was turned down.
"It is a special way to become world champion, there is no doubt about that. This is a big day for me. It's a childhood dream," Iversen told Norwegian broadcasters NRK.
"But I'm very sorry on Johannes' behalf, and I do not support the jury's decision. He is the moral winner."
Altercation with Joni Maki
Iversen got his first major individual event gold in 2 hours 10 minutes 52.9 seconds, seven-tenth ahead of Bolshunov and 8.2 seconds clear of another Norwegian, Simen Hegstad Krueger, who was promoted from fourth to third.
Bolshunov was out of sorts after crossing the line but kept his composure - being on probation after an altercation with Finland's Joni Maki at a recent relay event.
The classic style race only came to life in the late stages, with Bolshunov and four Norwegians breaking away and the Russian then trying to shake them off like he managed in the skiathlon a week ago for his first and so far lone major title.
But Klaebo followed which set up the home straight drama which cost the Norwegian a fourth gold at the championships following his sprint, team sprint and relay golds.
That would have emulated compatriot Therese Johaug who ruled the women's races with four golds - 10km, skiathlon, 30km relay - for a career tally of 14.
"It is a fantastic experience to come here and get four golds," Johaug said after her last gold Saturday. "I know that there is a lot of pressure on me out there, and you have to fulfil it every day."
Norway dominated championships
Norway dominated the 11-day championships behind closed doors even though their ski-jumping World Cup champion Halvor Egner Granerud was among nine people who tested positive for the coronavirus in Oberstdorf, missing his two events in the process.
The Nordic superpower won 31 of the 72 medals on offer in the 24 events, 13 gold, 11 silver and seven bronze.
They won nine of the 12 cross-country races and three more in Nordic combined: the first-ever women's world champion in Gyda Westvold Hansen and Jarl Magnus Riiber taking two; plus women's ski-jumping from Maren Lundby.
Austria impressed with four golds, two of them from Nordic combined teenage sensation Johannes Lamparter. Hosts Germany saw Karl Geiger become the first ski-jumper to earn four medals at one worlds, two golds, a silver and a bronze.
The next worlds are 2023 in Planica, Slovenia but the next highlight for the Nordic skiers are next year's Olympics in Beijing.

Welcome to The Queue — your daily distraction of curated video content sourced from across the web.
The year is 2008. Obama has won the presidency. The stock market is crashing. And dozens (dozens!) of movie lovers are making DIY YouTube tributes of their favorite films. These are "swedes": zero-budget, 5~ minute films brought to life with household items and a hell of a lot of cardboard. The term "sweding" originates from Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind. In the film, two video store owners (played by Jack Black and Mos Def) accidentally erase all their VHS stock and must recreate iconic films themselves with no budget, no edits, and single takes. To justify the longer wait times and higher rental costs, Black's character explains to his customers that the movies are special Swedish imports: sweded films, if you will.
According to the (now defunct) Be Kind Rewind website, Sweding is the art of "re-making something from scratch using whatever you can get your hands on." If you search "sweded" in YouTube you'll be greeted with lovingly stitched together (well…duct-taped together) remakes of Hollywood classics. While they're formally defined by their production constraints, the thing that keeps me coming back to sweded films, after all these years, is their knowingly naive charm; the bespoke, irreplicable hilarity of being truly, honestly homespun. Sweded films are some of the purest content on the internet. And while we still see the odd modern swede, "sweding" films is definitely no longer the trend it was back in 2008.
That needs to change. We're all living in isolation right now, bored out of gourds in our own homes. What better way to pass the time than marshaling bed sheets, delivery boxes, and all the household odds and ends that time forgot to make art and bring much-needed joy to the internet? Think of all the modern classics that missed out on the original sweding trend. Anihilation sweded? Yes, please. A swede of Mission: Impossible – Fallout? You'd love to see it! To inspire you here is the all time-greatest swede (I think about John Hammond's toilet paper beard at least once a week).
Watch a sweded pass at "Jurassic Park" here:
Who made this?
The masterpiece "Jurassic Park SWEDED (for bekindrewind)" was created by Steven Seller and uploaded to YouTube a lifetime ago on February 21st, 2008. The film stars Seller, Nicholas Biggs, Sebastian Cowan, and Laura Louise Hodgson. It was originally submitted to a "sweded" competition. After Be Kind Rewind's release, a smattering of such competitions cropped up across the globe (no really). Sellar's YouTube page describes him as an award-winning creative based in London.

text: Calcifications in the aortic wall, heart valves and coronary arteries are strong and independent predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) including myocardial infarction (MI), sudden cardiac death, and stroke. The Dutch lung cancer screening (NELSON) trial offers a possibility to investigate the presence and risk of CVD in an asymptomatic high-risk population. In this project, we are developing automatic algorithms to measure existing and novel imaging biomarkers related to CVD in CT images from the NELSON trial. These biomarkers will enrich the phenotype information, enabling genetic studies and focusing on the identification of genes related to CVD risk. Finally, the combined information from imaging and genetics offers the possibility to investigate whether imaging markers and genetic analysis provide equivalent or complementary evidence with respect to CVD risk stratification. The project is part of the ImaGene program performed at the Image Sciences Institute, UMC Utrecht, funded by Dutch Technology Foundation.

England's might will soon be put to the test
The Pak-England series is an exciting one. It's England's batsmen against our bowlers - who will win the battle?
'It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.'
England are rated as the number one ICC Test team but the current series against Team Green will determine whether they truly deserve the position. This is the first time England will be playing an away Test series after gaining the top position when they humiliated India at home.
By the look of things, the series is shaping up to be an exciting one for the fans of both teams. In 2011, Pakistan and England put in some dominating performances and both won six Tests each.
England's performances came against strong teams, but five of the victories were on the home front where the conditions suited their style of play, especially the bowlers. They humbled India at home in both the Test matches and the ODIs but once they traveled to India for an ODI series, they lost, suggesting that in alien conditions, the going gets tough for England.
Pakistan, on the other hand, played relatively weaker teams (apart from Sri Lanka) and notched up six victories, but they didn't have the comfort of home conditions in any of these series. Even the home series were played in UAE, Pakistan's home away from home which is why the victories carry a special significance. Pakistan also didn't lose any bilateral ODI series during the year.
Both teams have a strong batting line-up, though England has a slight edge in the department. They have two aggressive players, Kevin Pieterson and Eoin Morgan in their top six, who can up the tempo of the match. Pakistan's line-up, apart from Hafeez, is made up of grafters who like to accumulate rather than hit it out of the park. England's number seven, Matt Prior, is a much better keeper-batsman than Adnan Akmal giving them a distinct advantage, and like Pieterson and Morgan, he can be aggressive when required.
Fast bowling has always been Pakistan's stronger suit but England's bowling line-up seems to be just as good, though it remains to be seen how they will perform under unhelpful conditions. In England, Anderson and company have decimated batting attacks under overcast skies and conditions where the red cherry swings sideways, but outside of these conditions (in the subcontinent) their record is not that great. Swann though remains a threat.
It seems that conditions rarely matter where fast bowling is concerned for Pakistan. Gul, Cheema, Junaid and Wahab make up a fierce combination that will challenge the England batsmen, supported by the spin duo of Saeed Ajmal and Abdul Rehman and part-time spinner Hafeez.
Saeed Ajmal's new variation, the teesra, will be offered for the first time in this series that would keep fans on the edge of their seats. Ajmal was the highest wicket-taker in 2011 in tests and is currently the top-rated ODI bowler. Many of his wickets came with the doosra that bamboozled the batsmen and if teesra is anything like it, Ajmal should be able to run through lineups at a startling speed.
England and Pakistan have a checkered history. There have been many scarring incidences including Mike Gattings, Shakoor Rana scandal in 1987, the forfeited test match in 2006 and the spot fixing scandal in 2010 to name a few. The spot fixing scandal is still fresh in the minds of fans which should give the series an extra dimension as many believe beating England here would be the perfect revenge for it.
"Players should assume themselves to be in a state of war in every match to maintain consistency in their performances. I think this is the best opportunity for the Pakistan team to avenge the disgrace of the spot-fixing scandal," is what Ramiz Raja had to say.
On the other hand, Misbah ul Haq wants to forget all about the scandal and make a fresh start.
"I think both teams know we just have to forget the past," he said. "Our area of concern is to play good cricket, fair cricket - and that's what we can do."
In the end, I think
This series provides Pakistan a great opportunity to beat the old colonial masters at their own game and if they do, it would cap a remarkable comeback by the team since they played England last time round in perfect style. Let's hope that at the end of the day, the green Flag is flying high!

According to recent Adobe Analytics data, the cost of domestic airfare has risen "significantly" over the course of 2022, rising 47 percent since January.
According to Adobe, which tracks direct consumer transactions from six of the top ten U.S. airlines, May was the fourth month in a row that prices rose above pre-pandemic levels.
Prices increased by 30% last month compared to the same period in 2019. Meanwhile, according to Adobe, domestic flight prices increased by 27% in April and 20% in March compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Meanwhile, prices in February were up 5% from the previous year.
Adobe tracked the amount consumers collectively spent last month versus actual flight bookings to better illustrate the impact of higher prices.
For example, in May, consumers spent $8.3 billion online for domestic flights, a 6.2 percent increase from April's total of $7.8 billion.
With soaring fuel prices under Biden, Americans face a "spike" in airfare.
"Prices for domestic roundtrip flights up 40% since the start of the year; Prices expected to go up another 10% by May." pic.twitter.com/eVMpskq98X
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 8, 2022
Despite the fact that consumers spent over $500 million more on flights in May, actual bookings were down by 2.3 percent on a monthly basis, according to Adobe.
"While some consumers have been able to stomach the higher fares, particularly those who delayed travel plans due to the pandemic," said Adobe Digital Insights lead analyst Vivek Pandya, "the drop in bookings shows that some are rethinking their appetite for getting on a plane."
Some of those postponed summer vacations are already being impacted by higher prices.
According to Adobe, domestic bookings for travel between June and August are down 2% from this time last year. However, travel spending increased by 11% during that time period.
Year to date, consumers have spent $37.1 billion online on domestic flights. According to Adobe, this is a significant increase from the $19.2 billion spent by consumers in the first five months of 2021.

The political and security situation in Nigeria does not promote an enabling environment to carry out construction work. Everyone is concerned, particularly as the nation moves towards the general elections of the year 2015 but Neal Peckam, Security Adviser to Dantata & Sawoe Construction Company, says politics is politics for Nigerian politicians and many things remain unpredictable. In this interview, he talks about the challenges of working in politically charged environments laden with safety and security issues: Excerpts:
How would you access the security and safety challenges facing the construction industry in Nigeria?
Security and Safety goes together within the industry. They are synonymous, so when one is looking at the security of the projects and the staff on ground, we are considering the safety situations as well. We are running so many projects across the country and given the current security situation in Nigeria, one will need to initiate strategies to different areas, for example, the situation in the north is quite different from the situation in the south.
Are there any security challenges that have been encountered since the beginning of the projects?
Yes, looking at the southern region, we have a situation which is often similar to the big oil companies. A construction project is not something that happens quickly, we may be involved in certain projects for a number of years and that means that life camps are set up in a community and the project moves slowly such as when we are building a highway for instance, or a bridge. In the south we have issues of negotiating with the local communities about land rights and ownership, provision of jobs and ensuring that the local communities benefit while we are there.
On the subject of insecurity, is there any scenario you would like to share with us?
I can give an example of a recent issue which actually was an environmental, as well as a security issue. We were doing a small road project at Yenogoa which involved putting in new covets and making the road twice as wide. I witnessed a small protest where the local community had blocked the road with various cars, they said that Dantata, our company is responsible for the flooding in the area which was actually due to heavy rainfall that had flooded their homes. We had to go with our Public Relations officer to access the problems and proffer solutions. The local community leaders met with us and we negotiated with them. We did not want to ignore the problem. We were not looking at whose fault it was, we simply took responsibility. The flooding was as a result of the blockage of normal channels that the stream could have moved through. It was not our fault that the covet was not where it was supposed to be. This was the kind of challenge that we faced every day.
We handle security challenges in collaboration with the communities, police, Civil Defense officials and we do the same things with safety issues as well. Even while working, we need to consider the safety of staff and equipment. We employed security personnel to look after our yards and life camps, but we work very closely with the Civil Defense and military authorities to ensure that we are all able to continue with our work despite the security situation in the area. In the north for instance, we have the insurgency issue where construction companies have faced challenges of kidnapping in recent years. We hire armed escorts to move with our expatriates when they are travelling from their work sites to their homes and from their work sites to the Head Office in Abuja.
What kind of relationship do you have with the external security groups?
Their job is to keep the law of the land and maintain peace. We are there to carry out a project in the best time, with the best quality in mind. In a way, we want to do the job in time and move on to another job. However, occasionally, there are concerns and issues which require the view points of everybody who lives in the area including the state government and sometimes, we need to call on the authorities: the Police or Army to find a way through the issue and come to a common solution.
What is your view on the security situation in Nigeria?
Well, I am not going to go into the area of politics, Nigeria's politics is a complex area and it is not an area for a construction company to get into. However, the issue of insecurity is not having any negative impact on construction work going on in the states. We are moving ahead with our work. We are asking our staff who work in different areas in seven different states of the country to continue with their work. Every state, every community and every part of the country is different. We have to try our best to mediate in some cases and do what we are asked to do.
Well, security and safety have to be maintained at a better level than where it had being in the country. Safety in particular is a major concern because many lives have been lost or injured as a result of poor standard of health and safety precautions. We want to do anything that can be done to bring the industry together and to raise and maintain higher standards for all concerned. Safety precautions are good for the industry because we are doing business continually and we do not pray to have to investigate incidents and accidents in the process of getting the job done swiftly. The work that we are trying to do is aimed at improving the infrastructure of the country. It is important that we work with the government. What the government needs to do is to ensure that we have the right environment that gets the job done.
Thank you for your time with us.
Thank you too.

I was wondering can a combination of liposuction and fat grafting work to create a more natural shapely figure? For instance, If a woman were to have liposuction, then a fat transfer to her lateral thighs, hips, and buttocks would that be a possibility for a woman who is about 5'6 in height, 150lbs and lacks lateral thigh development, hip expansion and a fuller backside?
The short answer to your question is yes. There are pros and cons to the procedures you mentioned though. A consultation and examination by a Board Certified plastic surgeon may help you decide if these procedures would best help you achieve your surgical goals, or if there is a more favorable alternative.
Great question. Yes, what you are describing is a very typical scenario that can be addressed in a comprehensive way using a combination of liposuction, fat shifting, and fat grafting, all utilizing SAFELipo concepts. In most SAFELipo cases, some fat grafting of areas that need some volume is performed with the liposuction part of the procedure. This is one of the many ways SAFELipo (http://www.safelipo.com) is utilized to treat problems in a more complete way.
The combination of advanced sculpting and shaping with fat injections is very powerful, and in my opinion, the best way to improve shaping through the torso, hips, and buttock. I focus quite a bit of my practice in this area. This often does include fat injections to areas of deficiency such at the buttock and sculpting and contouring in areas of unwanted fullness. I would seek out consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience and focus on aesthetic plastic surgery. I hope this helps! -Dr. Boynton
Absolutely. In the right candidate fat grafting can work very well with liposuction to accentuate the good curves and reduce the unfavorable ones. Fat is typically added to the upper and lateral buttock area and can be harvested from almost anywhere. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to learn more. Good luck!! Dr K

Hamza Ali Abbasi Criticizes 'Desi Liberals' and Calls Them Hypocritical – Here Is How People Reacted
Some particular individuals and topics in Pakistan repeatedly find their way back to the centre of controversy and no, it's not Aamir Liaquat this time.
Two on the lengthy list is Hamza Ali Abbasi and liberalism. And when both of them are put into one place, there is nothing but chaos!
Liberalism is perceived as something associated to the western culture and is quite unwelcomed in Pakistan while Hamza Ali Abbasi, due to his opinions and audacity to loudly speak them tends to garner a lot of unnecessary attention and reaction. Representing Khan on multiple platforms, Hamza's political affiliations clearly lie with PTI and he has taken the stage to defend the party when needed and on any occasion, if he doesn't agree to it, he is fearless in condemning it as well.
Hamza took to Twitter taking a dig at 'desi liberals' saying that the same people who criticize Imran Khan and call him pro-Taliban or precisely, Taliban Khan, are now defending Manzoor Ahmed Pashteen. Manzoor is an activist from South Waziristan and is the leader of Pashtun Tahafuz movement. The movement has been condemned for including anti-Army slogans that are threatening state and its institution's sovereignty. The public has been divided over it – while a segment of the people say that they stand with Army, a significant portion supports the movement saying their demands are legitimate.
Hamza further pointed out the hypocrisy, improvising that the liberals in Pakistan are quite unaware of the true connotation of the terms and have dual-standards that adjust with their own requirements. Here is what Hamza had to say:
The same Pseudo Liberals who attacked Imran Khan & called him "Taliban Khan" when he said we have brought America's war on our own soil are now supporting Manzoor Pishteen's deceptive movement laced with anti army slogans! 21 topon ki salaami desi pseudo liberals ki hypocrisy ko!
— Hamza Ali Abbasi (@iamhamzaabbasi) April 17, 2018
The tweet, of course, met an overwhelming response and people were similarly fearless in voicing their opinions. Here is what the Twitter community has to say:
A country where demanding the basic rights labels you A #Mossad #CIA #RAW & #NDS Agent is called #Pakistan . #Manzoorpashteen
— Ibrahim Yousafzai (@Ibrahimusufzai) April 17, 2018
He is demanding that the people there should be at-least treated like humans nothing else. Yes he definitely will get wrong signals if get ignored.There is something wrong if so much PAKISTANIS are out there.#Pakistanzindabaad #Pakistanfirst
— Ibrahim Yousafzai (@Ibrahimusufzai) April 17, 2018
Hamza what will you say about amir liaqat joining bol tv???? Isi lia to show k days kam to nae kia na apna

I am sure you would have never been to fata and I am also sure dat you would not know da names of various agencies dat comprise fata. People of fata are supporting manzor pashten
because they have seen the atrocities of pak army and taliban
Love manzor— Fayaz khan (@FPashten) April 17, 2018
Deceptive movement? how? Talk sense!
Go and ask those families who are put in a tight spot. Is it easy to see your family members being killed for no sane reason? And nothing is 'anti-army' if they are having some misgivings then we should listen to them, that's it!— Iqra Shafique (@IqraShafique13) April 17, 2018
Desi liberals wish to divide Pak on ethnic lines this is not a conspiracy theory or anything I've myself talked with extreme left wingers they absolutely don't mind division of Pakistan and merger of Punjab with their beloved Hindustan thats their dream.Bohat laanti makhlooq hain
— عین (@Pr1ncess17) April 17, 2018
Government should take Practical steps to mainstream fata not like failed Nap. They deserve basic human rights they are human being like us
— Sanaa (@SanaaMalikk) April 18, 2018
Its not easy to see your family members being killed or their name in missimg person list.
— Sanaa (@SanaaMalikk) April 18, 2018
Salaami detay hue galti se topain unki taraf nai ho sakti? #justsaying ?
— Lord Hashmi (@umarhashmi123) April 17, 2018
The question is, why did @ImranKhanPTI stop saying that we should not have brought the US war of terror and those who brought it and still launching US funded operations should be punished???
— Tariq (@sweet_punch) April 17, 2018
So u think that manzor pashtoon demands are wrong #its not our fundamentals rights

Trump trade threats push dollar lower
Morning mid-market rates – The majors
May 7th: Highlights
- US/China Agreement still some way off
- Sterling falls as hopes for a Brexit deal fade
- Euro lower on trade turmoil
US/China trade negotiations delayed by presidential posturing
China is one of the few countries on a par with the U.S. in its ability to stand up to threats of action. In the past when threats of higher tariffs have been made, the Chinese Government has simply bided its time, seen what action has been taken, and reciprocated with the appropriate level of response. If the U.S. carries out its current threat, it is almost certain China will continue on the same path.
In the end, all this does is delay the talks since it is perfectly clear that China will not be intimidated.
There is a clear financial element to the issue too since China holds $1.3 trillion of the total of $4.02 trillion of U.S. Government debt held by foreign countries. This debt is constantly being rolled over, but it wouldn't take too strong a comment from Beijing about its continued willingness to endlessly roll over the debt to send global markets into freefall.
There is still plenty to come from the global trade situation but in the short term, the fall in risk appetite has provided a boost to the Japanese Yen, the traditional safe haven.
The dollar index in comparison, fell in reaction, reaching a low of 97.47 having opened at 97.56 and reaching a high of 97.70.
The U.S. data slate this week will concentrate on inflation with Producer Prices (expected to have risen by 2.5% YoY in April), on Thursday and Consumer Prices on Friday with a rise of 2.1% YoY unlikely to excite the Fed.

Sterling settles at a higher level despite no Brexit breakthrough
MPs have splintered into many factions that have ensured that the process has been elongated beyond what was either expected or planned for. The two major Parties, originally taking note of the demands of Brussels, have now allowed their talks to descend into a point scoring tussle with neither side able to focus on the issue at hand, the UK's departure from the EU.
It seems that the bout of optimism that led to a rally in the value of the pound last week was yet another false dawn. It became clear over the weekend, that there is zero trust between the Conservative and Labour Parties over what they can reasonably expect a majority of MPs across the entire House to support.
The entire process has now been distilled down into three possibilities: 1) The UK leaves the EU under the withdrawal Agreement that is already in place. 2) The UK leaves with no deal. 3) The decision is taken away from Parliament and handed back to the public, this is the so-called people's vote.
The opposition is making a very good case for abrogating their responsibility to their supporters by almost saying "we don't have a Brexit plan, therefore, cannot support anyone's, but we certainly want a General Election to be the outcome".
It is not new news to hear Theresa May say that she won't preside over another Queens Speech since the next State opening of Parliament will presumably only take place once either Brexit, a General Election or both have taken place.
The pound traded in a range between 1.3171 and 1.3080 versus the dollar yesterday as hope about a Brexit deal deflated like a burst balloon. It closed at 1.3097.
Single currency lower as trade issues prevail
That optimism was faded as President Trump reverted to social media to threaten China and the source of the economic positivity was snatched away.
It seems that the words of ECB President Draghi continue to ring in traders' ears and until there is some agreement on international trade that allows the global economy to grow, the Eurozone will remain in the doldrums.
This begs the question: "why can't the ECB act to stimulate domestic growth?" The simplistic answer is that it has no tools left to do such a thing. They have extremely low rates of interest and a high degree of accommodation, they have offered further liquidity to banks but still, no one is borrowing. Brexit clearly isn't helping with uncertainty on the rise. The major concern is disruption to Germany's supply chain from Brexit and how they will replace parts supplies from within the EU.
Last week, the Euro traded between 1.1265 and 1.1135, closing at 1.1201 and there was limited optimism. The previous week it traded between 1.1264 and 1.1110 and there was extreme pessimism. So, from that, we can conclude that the difference between a good week and a bad week is about 25 pips.
In much the same way as the pound will be directionless until Brexit is settled, a similar statement is true about the euro and global trade.
Have a great day!

I'm having a bad day.
It started this morning at 5:30am, when I woke up feeling achy and exhausted. I laid in bed for 30 minutes hoping that the problem would alleviate itself, but alas, I am still achy even as I write this.
I then headed to school with my Vision Quester. I went to class expecting my students to have done their homework. Because I had been traveling, I gave them a group project before I left and told them it would be due the day I returned. I would be gone for 9 days, so I gave them 2 weeks to do it. That works, right?
I came into my first class, and less than half of them had done it. Not only was I angry, I was also disappointed and frustrated.
Ever the optimist, I went into my second class to be presented with exactly the same thing: 45 students out of 100 did the group project I had assigned, and the rest of them were frantically trying to finish it in class.
At that point, I was ready to go home and call it a day. Unfortunately, the day had barely begun.
I went home for a little bit to wash some laundry and put it out to dry. The minute I hung the last article of clothing on the line, it started to drizzle. Being tired and in no mood to take all the laundry in, I decided to leave it hang there, in a metaphorical nose-thumbing to mother nature.
We then went to market (that is, my Vision Quester and I) and bought some vegetables, a few two-yards, and some glorious, glorious FanIce. That, as I think of it now, was the eye of the storm.
I went to the computer lab to set up shop to discover a missing power strip, no chairs, and a mob of raucous, unruly students. After making one kneel in the grass for "acting like a goat" (she tried to budge her way into the lab under my arms as I was standing in the door) and sacking two for hitting another student, things calmed down a bit. I jury-rigged the power strip situation, got everything running, and have since spent the last 5 hours answering student questions.
My Vision Quester, on the other hand, has been awesome. He's helped out with chores, talked to people, and just been an all-around good guy. Kudos, Mike.
Alright. I'm tired. Time to wind this party down and hope that I can still buy food in town after 6pm. Cheers, y'all.

Water leaks can be caused by a variety of factors and must be addressed as soon as possible to avoid serious damage to the home's foundation and overall structure. One problem homeowners face in dealing with frustrating water leaks is that the leaks are often hidden and go undetected until the damage is done.
Whether the excess water is coming from the back of a washing machine, the water heater, or the home's plumbing system, the consequences of finding hidden water leaks too late include mold growth, wood rot, subfloor damage, and more.
In addition to costly repairs and potential health hazards, hidden leaks also cause serious water loss, which contributes to high water bills and excessive water waste. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that a leaking shower head that loses 10 drips of water each minute equals a total water loss of 500 gallons per year.
While hidden plumbing leaks can be difficult to detect, there are certain spots throughout the home where water is more likely to hide. Here are five common locations where you may find hidden water leaks. If you do locate a hidden leak, AP Plumbing offers consistency with all service calls, and our technicians are highly experienced with leak repairs in Syracuse, NY.
A loose or wobbling toilet may indicate a hidden water leak. This is due to the fact that the wax ring around the base of the toilet connects to the plumbing system in the flooring. When the wax softens over time, it sometimes loses its ability to prevent water from leaking onto the subflooring. In addition to a wobbly toilet, other signs of a leaking toilet include pooling water and subfloor rot.
While you may think a slow drip would be easy to hear when coming from beneath the sink, the reality is that these drips often go undetected until a musty smell becomes apparent. The odor is due to mold or mildew growth, and the dark space beneath the sink can allow the pooling water to go unnoticed for extended periods of time, making it difficult to find these hidden water leaks.
The area behind your home washing machine is another common place to consider when you're determining where to check for hidden leaks. These leaks occur when the hoses that attach to the water valves in the wall behind the machine are loose. Something like this can happen during installation or when the rubber washers inside the coupling fail. Indications of a slow leak include a musty or moldy smell and water pooling around the back of the machine.
Your HVAC system is another place to find hidden water leaks. Clogged drain lines inside the unit can lead the drip pan to overflow, which can cause mold buildup and damage to the exterior of the HVAC system. If you notice a moldy odor when running the air conditioning or heat, a water leak may be to blame.
Whether your outdoor faucet connects to an irrigation system or you only use it sparingly, it's important to ensure that all pipes are connected as tightly as possible. The spot beneath the siding is where you should check for hidden leaks that present as water dripping down the inside of the wall. If not detected early, this can lead to severe sheathing damage.
Another way to find hidden leaks is by checking your water meter. The first step is to turn off all the water in your home. Read the water meter and record the reading. Wait an hour and check the meter again. If the meter indicates water usage when all water sources have been shut off, this can point to a hidden leak.
If you suspect a water leak, it's imperative to get to the source and remedy the issue as soon as possible to avoid costly damage. AP Plumbing offers plumbing repairs in Syracuse, NY, and our professional team members are standing by to assist with leak detection and repair to ensure your home is safe and dry.

DRAPER — An 18-year-old student is facing school discipline and possible criminal charges for allegedly selling marijuana-laced cookies in his school.
On Nov. 20, a student at Corner Canyon High School, 12943 S. 700 East, went to class where a teacher "smelled the strong odor" of marijuana coming from the student, according to a recently released search warrant affidavit filed in 3rd District Court.
The student was questioned by school administrators and the school resource officer who found "a large plastic zip-lock style bag that contained multiple cookies, and which had a strong odor of marijuana coming from them" in the student's backpack, the warrant states.
The student told officials that "the cookies were made with THC butter" and that he was selling them for $10 each, according to the warrant. The student said he had made sales around the West Jordan area and "has provided several cookies to students within Corner Canyon High School."
As of Friday, the man had not been charged. Draper police said it was still an active investigation and declined comment.
Canyons District spokesman Jeff Haney said the district "acted appropriately within district guidelines" in disciplining the student, though he could not say what specific action was taken. In general, students with drug offenses could be referred to a district level hearing where they could be suspended for a few days up to being expelled from the school.
Haney praised the alert teacher who suspected something wasn't right, saying the teacher's actions made the school safer.
"We have some teachers who are incredibly on top of things," he said. "We encourage all teachers and students to be aware of their surroundings at school."

Blears confirms Greater Manchester city region powers
Communities Secretary Hazel Blears this afternoon confirmed Greater Manchester as one of seven groups of councils in England that will benefit from new multi-area agreements.
The area will get more freedoms from Whitehall in return for pledging a local, partnership approach to boost economic growth and tackle deprivation and financial inequalities.
Freedoms include more flexible resources on housing, pilot transport schemes, employment and skills schemes and choice to refocus national targets to increase support to businesses.
The ambition is to close the gap with the top performing areas in the country through partnerships that cross local authority boundaries.
Cllr Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council and vice chairman of the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities, said: "The MAA is a clear illustration of the maturity of the relationships between the ten Greater Manchester Authorities. It sets out a series of very practical measures that are fundamental to the long term and sustainable development of the Manchester city region."
Barbara Spicer, chief executive of Salford City Council and responsible for economic development, employment and skills at AGMA, said: "The whole premise of collaborative city region working is based on using the leadership and capacity of all ten local authorities to best effect. A huge amount of trust and confidence has been built at both political and officer level to enable us to work successfully in this way. I believe this is one of the reasons that our colleagues in central government have been so supportive of us in our MAA negotiations."
The seven areas whose MAAs were signed today are: Tees Valley, Tyne and Wear, Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire, Leeds city region, Partnership for Urban South Hampshire, Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.

S2 Resources: spinning off into success
If you asked anyone across the industry what are the odds of an exploration company starting up, controlling operations in Australia, Sweden and Finland, and announcing a market cap of over $100million all without having to get equity funding – they'd probably say in this day and age it's either unheard of, or extremely lucky.
Step forward Australian mineral exploration company S2 Resources. But to talk about S2 we need to address Sirius Resources. Sirius Resources is a hugely successful exploration company that discovered the Nova Project, the most substantial nickel discovery in Australia in over 20 years. This attracted the attention of Independence Group (IGO) who bought out Sirius Resources for $1.8bn. From this, CEO of Sirius Mark Bennet structured a deal that would see the birth of S2, a spin-off of Sirius.
"S2 is taking the exploration assets from Sirius, other than Nova, put them into the new vehicle. I could choose who I wanted from Sirius to come with me too, so I've got people I've previously worked with strong experience working with me here," says Mark Bennet, Managing Director & CEO of S2 Resources.
S2, like its predecessor Sirius, is an explorer with the purpose of making significant discoveries to bring order of magnitude returns to its investors – primarily in precious and base metals gold, copper, nickel and zinc.
"Exploration is an inherently tricky business and the statistics are against you. But our exploration is in sensible places so the risk is sensible as well," he says.
That risk has been rewarded, as S2 listed on the ASX in October 2015, only the third company to do so in 2015. The company managed to list without having to go to market to raise money, as part of the deal with IGO saw the company invest $22million in funding to get the company off the ground and running.
"We started off life with a good team, some good ground and money in the bank This was just under a year ago. The price was 17 percent when we started with a $35m. AS of this year we have moved to 46.4 % with a market cap of over 100 million."
One of the key attributes to the success of S2 is that it hasn't had to face many of the challenges that other mineral exploration companies face, namely funding, getting good people to push the company forward and external factors – such as commodity prices.
"Unlike 99 percent of the industry we've been in a good spot. Being an explorer, the value we can create is in the discovery itself rather than the mining of a particular commodity. We are decoupled of the day to day variation and speculation of commodity prices that impacts a producer," says Bennet.
A recent example of this decoupling happened recently, as Bennet recalls: "A number of gold companies were hit because gold price dropped,"
But we, in the same time, actually announced a gold discovery and our share price went up 42 percent on the first day and 10 percent again on the second day. It's the leverage in the discovery rather than the commodity price, and that was a good demonstration of that."
A particular problem that is rather unique to S2 is the lack of a revenue stream from an operation.
"As far as making that go as far as possible we need to be able to demonstrate to those in the market that are entrusting us with that money that we are spending it wisely. We look after every cent where we can. If you're a mining company right now, the number of commodity prices have been weak for a while now and most companies in production here right now are doing their utmost to cut costs in every possible way."
S2 operates in Australia, Sweden and Finland but the company originally started out with just the Australian assets from Sirius. In April this year, S2 announced that it had discovered the Monsoon project, which Bennet describes as a promising prospect. This comes off the back of further success in Northern Sweden, where a new exploration was laid out with 60 targets, and in the very first drill hole S2 discovered a zinc deposit. Again, Bennet stresses that it is early days but it signals a promising prospect moving forward for the company.
For any exploration company, community engagement is pivotal. Get it right and successful operations can follow, get it wrong and you'll never know.
"The beauty of being a small company is you can engage directly. It makes a huge difference with local people. Compare that with a big corporate company where it's a line managers job to do that – people see that as not being taken seriously as it not the big chief talking to them," says Bennet.
Bennet is a firm believer of this level of engagement, stating that it is important to provide sustainable options for the future, such as jobs, training and education, as opposed to simply a financial gain.
"It's important you develop good relationships with those on the ground very quickly. That's one of the reason why having people who have been working for years and experience of working in these areas is extremely important. It's basically just simple face to face human contact and common sense and respect that assists with that. We don't need any sustainability programs; we just want people who work with other people."
Minnig, exploration and the environmental impacts they bring go hand in hand. Bennet and S2 are of the viewpoint that care for the environment and mining are not necessarily opposing things.
"If you avoid areas that shouldn't be mined, then you're not going to create a problem. In terms of where you do mine if you plan and execute it in a sensible manner the it is very sustainable in terms of environmental values," he says.
Looking to the future, Bennet and S2 Resources have set themselves key goals. To become a company with a billion-dollar market capital with a good cash flow to sustain an ongoing exploration process.
Bennet does admit however, that some of those targets involve topping the success he and his team had as part of Sirius Resources.
"We've got certain achievements we want to better. At Sirius we were the best performing company on the ASX. The record of the shortest time of discovery to production. Shortest time of getting a mining lease granted, getting a native title deal. And pretty good in terms of shareholder return which was up to 10,000 percent for some people. Because it's what we do we want to do it better this time," he says.
