DENVER – In one of the more contentious school board races pitting labor unions against conservative reform candidates, voters won't know if their ballots will be counted for Amy Speers, a union-bankrolled Adams 12 Five Star School District candidate who was disqualified.
Speers was deemed ineligible to run for the district 4 school board seat because she does not reside in the district. District 4 encompasses parts of Adams and Broomfield counties, but those county clerks hadn't decided Monday whether or not they would count votes for Speers.
Though the school district administration notified the county clerks that Speers was disqualified, the candidate has not officially withdrawn – and there lies a legal problem.
If Speers voluntarily withdraws Tuesday, her votes will not be counted. Unknown is whether the school district can forcibly withdraw her name.
"The statute doesn't seem to clearly address how to do this," Broomfield County Clerk and Recorder Jim Candelarie told The Denver Post.
Opponents argue that Speers announced that her candidacy had been disqualified on her Facebook page – but Speers also urged supporters to vote for her.
"I appreciate the confidence and support that the voters have given me," she said. "And it is important that they know their votes are being counting and their voices are heard."
"Even though I cannot take office, the votes cast for me make a statement," declared Speers.
Speers had signed an affidavit confirming that she was eligible to run for the director district they intend to represent, according to a statement issued by Adams 12 Five Star School District.
"An oversight was made, and the candidate's residency was not verified," conceded the school district which plans to adopt measures to ensure every candidate is checked.
"The mistake made by the District is an unfortunate oversight," said Dorian DeLong, president of the District 12 Educators Association (DTEA) union, in an email to union members.
"We ask that any member who has not yet cast their ballot do so, and cast it in favor of Amy," DeLong implored because votes for Speers will hold her opponent Rico Figueroa "accountable for his incendiary comments about our association and your colleagues" in the union.
DeLong told EdNews Colorado that he is investigating whether there are alternatives to get around the disqualification of Speers.
"We're currently exploring… to see if there's any other option," said DeLong. "This is uncharted territory."
Speers garnered more than $36,608 of in-kind contributions from the CEA Small Donor Committee and District 12 Educators Association political action committee. The unions paid for campaign political consultants, a logo design, palm cards and writing, designing and printing brochures and mailers. In contrast, Speers raised just $2,659 in individual cash contributions.
"We're disappointed but not surprised that the DTEA is s dedicated to stopping reform that they've hastily invested tens of thousands in (Speers), a candidate that does not even meet the minimum requirements to serve," said Michelle Lyng of the Adams County Reform Project.
"In their relentless pursuit of control of the Adams 12 school board, the DTEA has done a grave disservice to their cause," said Lyng.
"We extend our congratulations to Rico on his victory," declared Lyng. "We're pleased he can continue the fight for reform on behalf of every student and parent in the district."
Figueroa's victory now might hinge on whether Speers officially withdraws.

Looking to install a landscape in your home, office space or commercial space? Then the Commercial Silk faux landscaping products are just what you need for the perfect indoors and outdoors landscape.
Installing artificial trees, fake outdoor plants and other faux landscaping products in your indoors or outdoors landscape is just what you need to prevent investing hours on end trying to maintain the plants.

A simple spray of water on the plants is good enough to keep them looking brand new and vibrant.
Fire Retardant Plants For Your Safety

Well, you need not worry in the case of the Commercial Silk landscaping products. Commercial Silk has a team of skilled installers who will help you complete the entire landscape in your home or commercial space.

Climate Tolerant And Weather Proof Landscaping Products
Another functional benefit of the landscaping products offered by Commercial Silk is that these plants and trees are completely weatherproof and climate tolerant. They can be installed in both outdoors as well as indoor settings without a worry. When placed in outdoor landscapes, these faux trees and plants can withstand snowstorms, rainfall, and even excessive sunlight. The plants will not fade or lose their color when exposed to the harsh elements of the weather. Further, the plants and trees can also be constantly kept in an air-conditioned facility or humid conditions but will not deteriorate in quality.
Wide Range Of Products For You To Choose From
Commercial Silk has a massive range of landscaping products to offer its patrons. Whether you wish to create a rainforest theme, tropical theme, winter theme or any other kind of theme in your home or office, there is something here that will fit your every requirement.

Botanically Correct Landscaping Products
For those of you who are very particular and wish to have a landscape that looks very realistic and lifelike, Commercial Silk has a range of preserved plants and trees that are botanically correct and can fool even the most trained eyes into believing that they are real.

Yes, this usually produces far too many messages. The soft lockup wasprobably caused by the machine being too busy logging all the messages(log files are synced which adds much more to the load of thefilesystem). I'd probably leave that aside for now and concentrate onthe corruption problem. Honza-- Jan Kara <email@example.com>SuSE CR Labs

Montreal's Grande Bibliothèque library says it's taking measures to bid good night to bedbugs and reassure users they are not at risk of any bites.
Executive director Danielle Chagnon said the library has been largely given the all-clear after a recent infestation of the bugs and that just a small part remained off limits Thursday.
Montreal's largest library never closed and services have been maintained since the outbreak came to light in late June and early July.
The tiny, apple seed-shaped bugs are usually active at night, feed on human blood and, although irritating, don't pose a major health risk.
There are no known cases of them transmitting infectious diseases.
"We're confident the situation is now over and users can feel secure and at ease when they come to the library," Chagnon said.
Several Canadian libraries have been dealing with bedbugs in recent years, and it wasn't even the first time the Montreal institution has had an infestation.
But Chagnon said the number of critters was more than previously encountered and required more elaborate action.
The pest problem has meant the library's 300 fabric lounge chairs — containing material and stuffing ideal for the bedbugs to hide — have been placed in storage.
They were removed and replaced with hard plastic chairs, with a permanent solution to come.
Chagnon said an extermination company was hired quickly and has been making frequent inspections of the building as well reviewing protocols in place.
"The inspections will last as long as the problem isn't dealt with 100 per cent," she said.
Harold Leavey, who heads the Maheu Ltee. extermination firm, said bedbugs are becoming more common in major cities all over the country — in particular in places where lots of people congregate, such as hospitals or universities.
"It's a problem on the rise in Montreal," Leavey said. "Pretty much every well-attended public area has bedbug episodes."
Chagnon said the library welcomes between 7,000 and 8,000 people daily, comparing it to a self-contained town.
"It may be possible that people carry bedbugs with them when they come to the library, and we have a sensible way to deal with that," she said.
If they see someone scratching, for example, they'll raise the issue with them and provide advice. But there's no question of policing who comes and goes, she added.
"One of the core values of public libraries is to be accessible to everybody," Chagnon said.

Sometimes being a blogger is weird. It can be complicated when it comes to sharing struggles because someone will always have it worse and if you share something difficult, it opens you up to criticism and often times criticism is not delivered with kindness. This can be hard to handle especially if it comes during times when you already feel vulnerable. This sometimes limits me from feeling like I can completely and candidly share what's going on in my life because I never want to come across as complaining, whining or ungrateful.
I am so ridiculously lucky and thankful to have the life I have, a family I love and a job I adore. I know I am fortunate and focusing on gratitude is something I truly do every single day. Focusing on gratitude is something I attribute to the backbone of the way I live my life and the optimism I feel comes naturally to me. I try my best to be open and honest on this blog and so appreciate you guys following my life and the experiences I choose to share in this space.
The strange thing I've noticed lately is that sometimes I struggle to share a lot about the "regular" days that end up feeling like one of "those" days. You know "those" days… the ones that just feel taxing and exhausting for a myriad of reasons. The kind of day where nothing HUGE goes wrong but a lot of little things seems to chip away at your patience and energy. The kind of day that feels a little more challenging than usual for a myriad of reasons. It's oddly easier for me to share about the big things that are REALLY hard (like miscarriage and loss) but harder for me to share about the small things that can feel tough sometimes. The mom guilt. The parenting struggles. Worry and doubt. The feeling that you're doing a billion things… but nothing well.
Yesterday was one of "those" days and my first thought as I sat down to blog this morning was move on from the day and work on a blog post for tomorrow instead of sharing a Monday recap like I initially planned. But then I thought about something else that's been weighing on me. I thought about the way I feel when I find myself scrolling through
Blake Womens Biker Boots Kennel amp; Schmenger PuhqvKiKQ
, combat boots Black Valas i9x31DK9
, blogs and social media in general. It's almost always a picture-perfect look at someone's life and that's just not reality. Maybe people will share about the REALLY hard things (and I'm so grateful when they do!) but so often the kind-of-hard-but-not-really-too-bad-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things things that happen in everyday life don't get shared. So what are we to believe? Life for everyone else is either perfect OR it's horrible? What about that place in the middle – our real, everyday life – that's usually really, really great but also challenging and not-so-great sometimes, too?

Global Head of Institutional Clients at Amundi
Speaking to the audience as the first day of the Amundi World Investment Forum drew to a close, Mr. Bertiau listed the four key challenges facing today's investor: the low rate environment, which makes it harder to find return and generate performance; increasing regulations; a lack of short term visibility, rendering decision-making more challenging than ever; and the expectation that all of us — asset managers and asset holders alike — make long term asset allocation decisions while being judged on short term performance. "There is a growing disconnect today between performance evaluation and long-term decision- making, at the end of the quarter, at the end of the year," he said.
"These four challenges are the reason why it is important to engage with each other in forums like the Amundi World Investment Forum. This ongoing dialogue with you, our clients and prospects, allows us to align our strategies with your needs, and tailor our solutions to your long-term agenda," he added. Mr. Bertiau pointed out that, in this context, Amundi has an important role to play as a trusted partner. As long-term investors, Amundi can relate to client problems.
But what does the word 'partner' mean at Amundi? Mr. Bertiau said that this question has been painstakingly debated within Amundi in order to define what it means to be a good partner for its Institutional clients. The simple definition, Mr. Bertiau said, is openness and cooperation to foster long-term relationships based on transparency and shared vision, for the mutual benefit of both parties.
According to Mr. Bertiau, Amundi has identified five key factors of partnership success: dedicating significant resources from senior management to junior resources, each accountable for the success of the partnership; trust, developed through close contact and clear communication channels across all levels of the hierarchy; the belief that partners should help each other achieve their long- term goals and that the partnership should be mutually beneficial; a shared roadmap where common long-term goals are identified along with planned intermediate steps in which achievements are monitored and targets adjusted; and good governance, with the right incentives, clear responsibilities and mechanisms to fine-tune the relationship throughout the project in a constructive manner and ensure the utmost quality delivery.
"In a word, the success of a partnership depends on the quality of its execution. In fact, cross-fertilization is what makes forums like today so enriching," Mr. Bertiau said, adding, "The Amundi World Investment Forum is an opportunity, each year, to pursue the conversation with all of you."

1973 in Detroit, MI
Years Active:
The East Detroit-based proto-punk outfit Death formed in 1973 around the talents of siblings David, Bobby, and Dannis Hackney. The brothers, who had spent previous summers banging out soul and funk jams, began to gravitate toward the deafening assault of bands like Black Sabbath, MC5, Alice Cooper, and the Stooges, resulting in a volatile live set and demo that found favor with Detroit's burgeoning underground rock scene. Producer Don Davis (Funkadelic) was called in to helm the band's debut studio sessions, which unearthed a raw, nervy collection of classic rock-tinged, politically charged punk singles. The songs eventually caught the ear of Columbia Records guru Clive Davis, who wanted to change the band's name to something more forgiving than Death. David refused to budge, causing a rift in the group that led to all three siblings retreating to New England to stay with their half brother. What was initially devised as a brief getaway turned into decades, and the brothers went their separate ways. In 2009 Drag City released For the Whole World to See, which collected all seven of the band's singles. Death reunited for a series of shows in 2010 and also played the South by Southwest Music Festival that year. In early 2011, Drag City, with help from Death's members, released a collection of demos and outtakes from the For the Whole World to See sessions entitled Spiritual Metal Physical.

DRF Breeding Weekend Wrap: Point of Entry, Fast Bullet lead stars on Belmont undercard
Saturday's Belmont Stakes undercard assisted in clarifying several divisions as the North American summer racing season unofficially began.
Phipps Stable homebred Point of Entry outgamed Optimizer to win the Grade 1 Manhattan Handicap by 1 1/2 lengths, earning a 104 Beyer Speed Figure over turf rated yielding following a deluge of precipitation that covered the Northeast hours earlier. The multiple Grade 1 winner and last year's Breeders' Cup Turf runner-up outclassed his competition on less than optimum course conditions; unfortunately, he suffered a slight condylar fracture of his left hind cannon bone during the race and will be sidelined until the fall in the best case scenario, according to trainer Shug McGaughey.
Frank Stronach purchased part of Point of Entry earlier this year and will stand him at Adena Springs upon retirement.
Point of Entry has maintained top-level form since last spring, with wins in seven of his last eight starts, four of them in Grade 1 stakes. By the late and elite sire Dynaformer, he is out of the Seeking the Gold mare Matlacha Pass — a finalist for 2012 Broodmare of the Year — and is a half-brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Pine Island. Matlacha Pass is a full sister to both Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Pleasant Home and to multiple Grade 2 winner Country Hideaway, the dam of Grade 2 winner Boca Grande and Grade 3 winner Vacation.
The highest Beyer of the weekend went to Fast Bullet, who returned impressively from a seven-month layoff with a 2 1/2-length win in the Grade 2 True North Handicap. The 6-year-old son of champion sprinter Speightstown bested Zayat Stables entry mate Justin Phillip in the six-furlong sprint, covering the distance in 1:08.27 and scoring a 110 Beyer. He picked up his first stakes win, and fourth victory from five career starts.
Bred in Kentucky by Roy Gottlieb, Fast Bullet is out of the winning Dayjur mare Renfro Valley Star and is a half-brother to Grade 3-placed winner Blairs Roarin Star. His second dam is champion and Breeders' Cup winner Brave Raj; among her 11 winning foals are stakes winners Bravo Bull and Russian Tango, the latter of whom is the dam of Grade 2 winner and sire Eurosilver.
Stephanie's Kitten backed up her comeback win in the Grade 2 Distaff Turf Mile on the Kentucky Derby undercard with a game half-length victory over Better Lucky in the Grade 1 Just a Game. Ken and Sarah Ramsey's homebred daughter of Kitten's Joy covered one mile in 1:36.27 and earned a 101 Beyer. She now has six stakes wins, including two Grade 1s, and has earned over $1.5 million to date. Stephanie's Kitten is out of the unraced Catienus mare Unfold the Rose, and her second dam is Grade 1 winner Bail Out Becky. Another close relation is Peruvian champion and last year's Super Derby runner up Fly Lexis Fly.
In the Grade 2 Woody Stephens for 3-year-old sprinters, Forty Tales rallied late to best Declan's Warrior by a half-length in a close four-horse finish. The Tale of the Cat colt stopped the timer at 1:22.47 and earned a 100 Beyer Speed Figure; he entered off of a neck win in the one-mile Grade 3 Derby Trial at Churchill. Forty Tales is out of stakes-placed winner Forty Love, by Forty Niner, and is a full brother to stakes-placed winner Face the Cat and a half-brother Grade 2-placed multiple stakes winner Bear Character. Grade 2 winners Banned and Masseuse are among his notable extended family members.
While several of Bob Baffert's early Triple Crown candidates did not make an impact on this year's trio of classic races, one of his highly regarded runners from last fall, Grade 1 winner Power Broker, served notice that he will be a factor in the 3-year-old division going forward with a 3 3/4-length win in the Easy Goer Stakes, the first of Saturday's stakes races at Belmont. Power Broker, by the late Claiborne sire Pulpit, earned a 99 Beyer in the Easy Goer, covering 1 1/16 miles in 1:41.55. He has now won two races in a row since his disappointing fifth-place run in the Santa Anita Derby. The colt is out of the stakes-winning Wild Again mare Shop Again. He is a three-quarter brother to Grade 2 winner Trappe Shot and a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Miss Shop and to stakes winner Bought In Dixie.
Weekend notes: In the Grade 2 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at Hollywood, 5-year-old Tale of a Champion picked up his first graded stakes win by one length over All Squared Away, giving Tale of the Cat two graded wins over the weekend. He covered 1 1/4 miles in 2:01.27 under Joe Talamo and earned a 95 Beyer. Trainer Kristin Mulhall told Daily Racing Form's Steve Andersen that the horse would be pointed to even longer distance races this summer in Southern California, with the 1 1/2-mile Sunset Handicap at Hollywood in July a possible next start.
Bred in Kentucky by Judy Hicks and Kathryn Nikkel, Tale of a Champion is out of the winning Seattle Slew mare If Angels Sing and is a full brother to Argentine Group 3 winner Ilusora. His second dam, multiple Grade 2 winner Chapel of Dreams, is a half-sister to the recently departed legendary sire Storm Cat. Notable stakes winners from her produce line include Grade/Group 1 winners Ticker Tape, Reckless Abandon, and Crowded House and Grade 2 winners Juniper Pass and Postponed.
Although Kentucky Derby winner Orb, owned by Phipps Stable with Stuart Janney and trained by Shug McGaughey, could only muster third in the Belmont Stakes, Phipps and McGaughey still enjoyed a good weekend with Point of Entry's win and a strong 1 1/4-length score by Boisterous in the Monmouth Stakes on Sunday. Boisterous, a 6-year-old by Distorted Humor, tallied his seventh stakes win in the 1 1/8-mile Monmouth Stakes, six of them graded. He earned a 94 Beyer in the turf event, finishing up in 1:48.84. Boisterous is out of Grade 1-placed stakes winner Emanating, by Cox's Ridge and is a half-brother to Grade 3-placed winner Peyton. Other relatives include Met Mile winner and sire Gold Fever, Grade 3 winner and sire Out of Place, and Grade 3 winner Lead Kindly Light.

FOMC Decision Boosts Stocks and Bonds; Amazon's Phone Is a Hit With Investors
Today's financial recap and tomorrow's financial outlook.
The FOMC reduced its monthly asset purchases by $10 billion, as was broadly expected. The committee's statement reflected a less optimistic tone than the market had anticipated, with weaker growth noted in consumer spending. The committee's central tendency for 2014 real GDP growth was reduced to a range of 2.1% - 2.3%, from 2.8% - 3.0%, at its March meeting. Additionally, its median long-run Fed funds forecast was reduced to 3.75% from 4%. Lastly, the addition of Vice Chairman Fischer to the committee added another dovish forecast for Fed funds over the next three years.
Both stocks and bonds rallied in reaction to the Dovish commentary from the Fed.
The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) finished up 0.77% at 1,957, breaking the record high from earlier this month. However, the strength was not quite so broad-based -- both the Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) and Russell 2000 (INDEXRUSSELL:RUT) underperformed.
Importantly, the strongest sector was utilities, which is typically indicative of cautious sentiment.
Elsewhere, transport stocks impressed, led by FedEx (NYSE:FDX), which was up nearly 6% on better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings. FedEx missed analysts' expectations in the last two quarters, setting the stage for a nice upside surprise.
Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) rose 2.62% to $334.16 after unveiling its highly-anticipated Fire Phone, which goes on sale soon at AT&T (NYSE:T). Amazon also benefited from positive comments by FedEx regarding e-commerce shipment activity.
Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE) was another winner, shooting up 8.17% on its own better-than-expected earnings report, driven by solid demand for its Creative Cloud service.
OpenTable (NASDAQ:OPEN), which is set to be acquired by PriceLine (NASDAQ:PCLN) for $103 per share, squeezed higher to finish at $105.17, implying that traders are speculating on a competing bid.
On the negative side, biotech, industrials, and housing names underperformed.
In international news, the Financial Times reported that the IMF is urging the ECB to conduct large-scale purchases of sovereign bonds to hold down rates and stabilize the Eurozone economy.
The situation in Iraq remains tense. Iraq asked the US for air support as ISIL (also known as ISIS) insurgents attempted to overtake the country's biggest oil refinery. Stateside, there has been heavy debate over just how much the US should get involved, particularly when it comes to the use of ground troops.
Tomorrow's Financial Outlook
Weekly jobless claims are scheduled to be released tomorrow morning. Claims are expected to remain near their average for the last four months at 313,000. Additionally, the second regional manufacturing survey for June, from Philadelphia, will be released. The survey is expected to drop to 14.0 from 15.4 last month, still showing strong growth.
Overnight, New Zealand will report first quarter GDP, the last developed market country to do so. Swiss National Bank will announce its rate decision tomorrow a.m. in what should be the morning's most important market event. It's expected that the SNB will lower its rate below zero in response to a similar decision by the ECB, to prevent excessive capital inflows into the country. If so, it would shift safe asset flows away from Switzerland and into the US or other highly-rated countries.
Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), considered a barometer stock for the corporate tech sector, is scheduled to report earnings tomorrow afternoon. Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ:SWHC), Kroger (NYSE:KR), and Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD) are all scheduled to report earnings as well.

Angus Energy PLC said Monday 14th November 2016 that it has received permission from the UK Environment Agency to drill a side-track well at its Brockham production oil field in Surrey, after the company was admitted to trading on London's AIM market.
The Angus Energy LON:ANGS
2009 the company was founded, the following year they qualifies as a UK O&G Operator. Jump forward to 2014 and the group acquired Brockham and Lidsey Oil Field Acquisition.
In 2015 Horse Hill Development Ltd. (HHDL) was founded by Angus Energy with Partners brought in to fund drilling of Horse Hill – 1 exploration well.
The Horse Hill-1 exploration well (less than five miles to the southeast of Brockham) was drilled and delivered on-time and on-budget by Angus Energy as the operator, partners. The group (Horse Hill sisters), which was behind the exploration at Horse Hill generated dramatic headlines in April 2105, with claims of a huge oil find near Gatwick airport
UK Oil & Gas, the largest investor in the site, said up to 100 billion barrels could lie under the area. However, the amount that could be extracted is yet to be proven with further drilling planned in 2107.
Angus Energy, one of the companies exploring for oil in the Home Counties, had its own plans and was planning to join the junior AIM market back in late 2015, hoping to raise millions of pounds to expand its drilling operations in Surrey and Sussex.
This is a onshore, UK-based oil and gas company that is focused on production and development. Angus Energy holds a 50% interest in the Lidsey licence PL 241 and a 40% working interest in the Lidsey-2 well.
Brockham and Lidsey Oil Field was always the prize and with their junior market listing, could they beat Horse Hill to the finish line in this race to get oil to market? Or will both benefit from the Weald Basin attention.

Published on Nov 14, 2016; Angus Energy (LON:ANGS) made its AIM debut Monday having raised £3.5mln and is a junior with some big plans.Proactive's Andrew Scott recently caught up with managing director Paul Vonk from the firm, which has interests in two recently producing oilfields in southern England.
Angus Energy were looking to expand their existing wells at Brockham, near Dorking, in Surrey, and in the Lidsey oil field near Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Now they have the chance perform a side-track at Brockham-1 and drill a new horizontal well on the other licence, Lidsey, in West Sussex.
In drilling the side-track at Brockham, Angus will drill the Portland sandstone zone, host to a known oil play that is already generating 35 barrels a day. The Kimmeridge is the main target to prove on Brockham, if the geological structure replicates the well at Gatwick (Horse Hill-1) that produced 1,688 barrels a day.

No one is saying that Brockham will have identical geology to Horse Hill – but one of Angus' partners, Doriemus, have commissioned the consultant Nutech to make a comparative analysis of the Horse Hill-1 well and Brockham-1, sunk by BP back in 1987.
It is too early to definitively assert this, but Angus believes the maturity and fracture analysis of the two have striking similarities.
We'll find out soon – once Brockham receives the sign off from the powers that be at the Health & Safety Executive, Oil & Gas Authority and Environmental Agency.
'We know we have these limestone layers, they appear to be naturally fractured and the maturity is slightly better than Horse Hill,' says Angus managing director Paul Vonk.
Something else to take into consideration when looking at Weald Basin;
Brockham is permitted for production with three wells already drilled. So, unlike Horse Hill, it could be put onto production immediately as it has already produced from previous drills. Angus could drill from the same pad to carry carry out directional drilling as required. Realistically the company is looking at 7-10 day drill with the well already cased, It will talk time to fit the BOP (Blowout preventer) on the turn table and drill pipe on site to start operations.
The evaluation of the zones is likely to take a number of weeks, maybe longer as the drill team will want to take a good look at the core samples, mud samples results if the company are to unravels the mystery of the Kimmeridge zone.
Horse Hill was drilled first(less than five miles to the southeast of Brockham) as an exploration well and no one would dispute that It require further testing, field development and council, government planning approval before commercial production can take place. As we know that will take some considerable time to achieve with the red tape the UK governmental departments put in place. It is not flippant remark when i state Angus and Brockham could beat Horse Hill to the punch in this race to get oil to market.
IPO presentation
Angus Energy plc LON:ANGS raise cash to expand existing wells at both Brockham and Lindsey oil field. Angus Energy made its AIM debut having raised £3.5 million – but it arrives on the junior market with a bright future.
Admission and First Day of Dealings
Jonathan Tidswell-Pretorius, Angus Energy's Chairman, commented: "Today marks an important milestone in the development of Angus Energy. With existing cash resources and today's placement proceeds, we now have sufficient funds to undertake the drilling programme at Brockham and Lidsey. Significantly, as an OGA approved operator and with two production licences for these fields, we are able to undertake this programme with the expectation that the additional production can be bought on line shortly after drilling is completed. We look forward to updating the market as the results of this drilling become available."
Angus Energy and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") operate a UK onshore focused oil and gas business with majority interests in two production oil fields in the UK Weald Basin in southern England with development and exploration upside. The Group is an OGA approved operator and owns a 55% interest in the Brockham oil field in Surrey in PL235 and a 50% interest in the Lidsey oil field located in West Sussex in PL241. The Weald Basin is a proven petroleum system with several commercial producing fields and discoveries.
The Company has raised £3.5 million (gross) in conjunction with Admission to fund its share of the costs of phased development programmes on the Brockham and Lidsey fields.
Further details can be found on the Company's website http://www.angusenergy.co.uk/

The Brockham oil field
The Brockham oil field is located on licence PL 235 in Surrey (see below) which covers 8.9 km2 (3.44 square miles). The field was discovered by BP in 1987 with the drilling of the Brockham-1 well. Angus Energy currently holds a 55% interest and operatorship of the licence.
The field has been shut in since late February 2016 in order for the completion of surface upgrades to make the production facility compliant with future regulatory requirements and to prepare the site for future drilling activity. Prior to shut-in, the field was producing approximately 20 bopd from the Brockham-2Y well over 2015. The field produces from a historically drilled off-structure well where production is realised via an acidized pathway through the overlying limestone reservoir seal. This suboptimum solution is the primary rationale behind Angus' strategy to drill a side-track well to the BR-X4 well to target the crest of the Portland Sandstone reservoir and access significantly greater volumes of oil. This well will be termed BR-X4Z.

Existing production reservoir – the Portland interval
The current producing reservoir of the Brockham field is in the Upper Jurassic Portland Sands, a common reservoir type in the Weald Basin. The fine grained sands were deposited in a shallow marine shelf environment and are composed of a sequence of four regressive and transgressive cycles. The cycles are separated and defined by minor flooding surfaces.

Portland drilling history
Brockham has had several wells drilled on the field. The first well, BR-X1, originally targeting deeper formations, was worked over to allow production from the Portland Sandstone shortly after the original discovery. Initial production from the well was 95 bopd with only 5 bbls of associated water and associated gas.
Further wells and side-tracks were drilled after 1988. These include BR-X2, BR-X2Z, BR-X2Y, BR-X3 and BR-X4. A horizontal well, BR-X2Z was also drilled on the field. These wells, although geological successes, encountered technical problems due to limited formation information available at the time. Openhole completions on the horizontal wells combined with water fractures resulted in these wells being unable to produce for a prolonged period from the targeted zones. The BR-X4 well did penetrate the 4.2 unit within the Portland and showed the best permeability and porosity. However, the horizontal well passed through a fracture connecting to higher pressure water zones beneath.
Acquisition by Angus Energy
Angus Energy acquired the Brockham field in 2012 and started a programme of logging the old wellbores. The company also acquired and reprocessed an additional 46 km of seismic across the field. A field remapping study was then undertaken and a new Field Development Plan was submitted to the government's Oil and Gas Authority (OGA).
To date, Brockham has produced approximately 230,000 barrels of oil. Based on the company's additional analysis and better understanding of the formation, reservoir, high pressure water zone and fractures, Angus believes that there is major production upside potential to be derived from completing a relatively simple up-dip side-track mirroring the BR-X1 well. This would target the 4.2 unit at an angle of approximately 30 to 40 degrees and stay away from any problem-causing fractures.
A working petroleum system
The Weald Basin is a proven petroleum system with several commercial producing fields and discoveries, mostly on the flanks of the basin. Since a raft of modest discoveries in the 1980s, there has been modest yet steady production from oil fields including Horndean, Singleton and Storrington as well as Lidsey and Brockham as discussed in this report. There are also several gas field located towards the central area of the basin. These fields are evident on the map below.

Polish authorities are preparing for an unsettling time up to the Aug. 31 anniversary of Solidarity's strike settlement. And Lech Walesa, just like three years ago, is still at the eye of the storm.
To the Polish government, of course, he is just another shipyard employee, the chairman of a former, legally now nonexistent labor union that has been supplanted by unions more amenable to government control.
Even the Roman Catholic Church appears to favor a lower profile for Mr. Walesa to promote harmony with the Polish government and to encourage it to rule with a lighter hand.
But signs of trouble showed up Aug. 14, when more than 1,000 demonstrators tried to march to Gdansk's Lenin shipyard from the adjacent St. Brigid's church, but were quickly dispersed by the police. The evening before, Walesa was given a warm greeting by the congregation at a special commemorative mass at the shipworkers' parish. Those events marked the start of two weeks that are likely to be filled with tension before the anniversary of the strike settlement between the government and shipyard workers in 1980.
It is admittedly hard to find Polish workers who still entertain any lingering hope of a Solidarity comeback. But there is no doubt that most of the labor force remains at heart - and often in spoken word - intensely loyal to Walesa, who more than anyone else brought into existence their first trade union outside of government control.
Thus it was from the Gdansk shipyard this weekend that a clandestine union committee issued a call to workers all over Poland to mount a ''go-slow'' action before Aug. 31 if the authorities decline to open some kind of talks with Walesa and his associates (called ''trusted representatives'' by the statement). The government has said repeatedly that no such meeting will take place.
The proposal for an industrial slowdown is the first suggestion of some conditional quasi-formal action to mark the anniversary. It demands the fulfillment of the August 1980 agreement whose promised reforms have already been severely cut back by martial law and the ''preventive'' safeguards accompanying its formal lifting last month.
Despite the government's refusal to meet with Walesa, he clearly remains more representative of workers' feeling than anyone else. Moreover, the government has been largely unsuccessful in its efforts to promote credibility for its new unions. Thus, pressure remains on Polish authorities to talk with Walesa, trying to reach some compromise.
Not all outside observers go along with the official and also nonofficial, widely held view that the union leader - like Solidarity itself as an organization - is also a ''has been'' with no future.
Throughout 1981, his political weight was usually on the side of moderation, particularly at some highly tense moments. On his release after 11 months of internment, he had misgivings about union militants, whose increasingly dominant stand finally brought the military crackdown.
Walesa himself was not wholly negative in his first reaction to the ''self-managing'' trade unions - ''independent of state administration'' - outlined in the October 1982 law. His initial view seemed to be that, with essential adjustments, something meaningful might still be made of them.
The authorities, however, gave him no encouragement.
The odds would seem to be against them doing so this time. But, however uneventfully it passes from the government's point of view, the anniversary may nontheless be a reminder that Walesa is still not quite the ''nonperson'' official opinion would like him to be and that talking with him might still have a useful purpose - for Poland.

At this point, after "Scare Me," "Bubble Butt," and so many more, we can count on Major Lazer to put together a very entertaining music video. In the clip for the Apocalypse Soon EP's Sean Paul collab "Come On To Me," director Ruben Fleischer (probably best known for M.I.A.'s "Galang" video) incorporates kabuki actors and taiko drums. It's fun to watch and compared to Avril Lavigne's recent choices it's pretty tame on the whole Japanese-cultural-appropriation scale. Check it out below.

Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary

(808) 224-6444
More than 600 volunteers gathered data from the shores of Oahu, Kaua'i, the Big Island, and Kaho'olawe for Saturday's annual Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Count. Participants tallied humpback whale sightings and documented the animals' surface behavior during the survey, which will continue on the last Saturday in February and March. The sanctuary, which is managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, protects humpback whales and their habitat in Hawaiian waters, where they migrate each winter to mate, calve and nurse their young.
Volunteers collected data from 59 sites statewide. Today's clear conditions were perfect for spotting humpback whales. The following are the average numbers of whales sighted per 15-minute count period on each of the islands:
O'ahu 4 whales
Kaua'i 5 whales
Big Island 5 whales
Kaho'olawe 23 whales
Scientific studies have shown that Hawaii's humpback whale population has been increasing at an annual rate of approximately seven percent, and over time data from the Sanctuary Ocean Count can be used to corroborate these findings. Hawaiian waters provide critical breeding habitat for approximately two-thirds of the north Pacific stock of humpback whales.
"It was great to see so many new volunteers taking part in this month's count," said Christine Brammer, Sanctuary Ocean Count Coordinator. "The Ocean Count project provides a unique opportunity for the public to learn about Hawai`i's humpbacks while participating in a monitoring effort. Many volunteers that try out the project come back year after year. It is easy to get hooked on watching Hawai`i's humpbacks."
Two more Sanctuary Ocean Counts are scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 24 and March 31. Previous Ocean Count results are available on the sanctuary's website, http://hawaiihumpbackwhale.noaa.gov/. For more information on becoming a Sanctuary Ocean Count volunteer, contact the appropriate sanctuary office. On the Big Island, call 1-888-55-WHALE ext. 253. On O'ahu, call 397-2651 ext. 253. On Kaua'i, call 1-808-246-2860. A whale count on Maui is conducted independently by the Pacific Whale Foundation.
The NOAA National Marine Sanctuary Program, which manages the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, seeks to increase the public awareness of America's marine resources and maritime heritage by conducting scientific research, monitoring, exploration and educational programs. Today, the sanctuary program manages 13 national marine sanctuaries and one marine national monument that together encompass more than 150,000 square miles of America's ocean and Great Lakes natural and cultural resources.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

The following post is by Kathleen O'Brien:
Ten years ago when Alistair Jackson (now principal of O'Brien & Company) and Michelle Long (now Executive Director of BALLE) created the Transparency Institute, they just couldn't gain traction they wanted and needed to make a go of it. "We were ten years ahead of our time," Jackson sighs. Now, transparency is all the rage. In fact, at GreenBuild recently, I couldn't walk five feet without some reference to the concept. Most references were focused on product transparency, but not all. At the International Living Future Institute's GreenBuild Booth, the nonprofit was touting its new "JUST" Label, which applies to organizations transparency. Organizations of all types and sizes can earn the JUST label when they are willing to report on 22 social and equity indicators related to six categories: diversity, equity, safety, worker benefit, local benefit and stewardship. The JUST Label joins the organization's DECLARE, a "nutrition" label of sorts for building products.
DECLARE is one of the latest efforts over the past decade to make it easier for building project teams to "do the right thing" when selecting products and technologies. Product certifications, such as those offered by the Carpet & Rug Industry Institute (focused on VOC emissions) and Forest Stewardship Council SC (focused on sustainably harvested wood products) have been one way to achieve this goal; but even there, industry members have been demanding more transparency, wanting to know what's behind the "green" label. DECLARE requires that manufacturers complete a Health Product Declaration (HPD) that is then publicly available. The hope is that this label will make it easier for project teams to use the Living Building Challenge, which "red lists" materials and chemicals the ILFI deems hazardous.
Eden Brukman, Technical Director for the non-profit HPD Collaborative was staffing its booth at GreenBuild, where business was non-stop. Brukman noted a "remarkable uptick in interest in (HPD's) work." The Transparency Movement (as some like to call it) is definitely experiencing an upswing, and HPD is clearly a key player in this progression. In addition to offering manufacturers an open standard format for reporting product content and associated health information for building products and materials, the service is free for all to use, which is certainly one factor in its gaining popularity.
The HPD Collaborative partners with several product databases. Green Spec was one of the first independent efforts to vet and list products meeting specific requirements. The Pharos Building Library provides access to HPDs (as do most of the other collaborative members) as well as a full assessment of health hazards associated with the product and its manufacture, VOC certifications, renewable material content, and renewable energy usage. SpecSimple is more recent, and unlike Green Spec or Pharos, includes advertising. Another commercial database partnering with HPD includes Green Wizard, which integrates its product library with a proprietary software aligned with LEED credits (WORKflow Pro). I understand from one user that the software program is "pricey" but a good value. GPD's THESource (which also offers advertising) aligns product transparency efforts with BIM and Revit; I attended a GreenBuild presentation introducing GPDTools (Alpha), a free downloadable add-in specifically designed for the Autodesk Revit users to search, select and annotate building product data (including HPDs) directly.
Nearly 30 manufacturers at GreenBuild were exhibiting products that are Cradle to Cradle Certified. Up to recently a proprietary system closely held by its founders William McDonough and Michael Braungart, the Certification has gone public with the founding of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. Lots of other product certifications were on display as well — sometimes several for the same product. One GreenBuild attendee complained that the multiple certifications on many product booths were confusing, but my guess is that as the drive for transparency takes hold, two things will happen, the value of a given certification will be understood more clearly, resulting in a more nuanced weighting of that certification in the prospective purchaser's mind. Another consideration is the audience for the certification(s): a skilled professional whose license depends on being informed, and the less informed consumer of the skilled professional's services. My observation, at least at events like GreenBuild, is that professionals are seeking more information, not less. But they want to know the information they are getting is good quality — and transparency can help them know that.
Transparency is not intended, however, to sort out the certification puzzle. The commonly held view is that manufacturers won't want to reveal damaging information, such as the fact that a given product includes harmful ingredients or was created using harmful processes. Forward-thinking companies with solid product portfolios (or willing to create them) have done the calculus. This is good for business. Laggards will innovate or lose in the race for transparency.
Kathleen O'Brien is a long time advocate for green building and sustainable development and most well known for founding O'Brien & Company, the oldest green building consultancy in the Seattle area. She lives in a green home, and drives a hybrid when she drives at all. After 30 years of working in the field, she is now focused on providing leadership training and mentoring through her legacy project: The Emerge Leadership Project, a 501c3 non-profit with a mission to "accelerate life-sustaining solutions in the built environment through emergent leadership principles."

How to Decorate Your Home Like an Olsen Twin
Trendsetting doesn't even begin to explain the Olsen twins' power. Their unique style leaves a wake of inspiration behind them, and we're all just riding the wave. Although the actresses pop up on the silver screen now and again, their main focus is their fashion label The Row, which recently opened its first retail location (which sells furniture!). Like all great designers, the Olsens look to the past, as well as other cultures, for inspiration. The result is a collection that is not only modern, but also withstands the test of time and passing trends. The designers embrace a similar modernity in their personal style. Stark lines, dramatic silhouettes, and quality materials are requisites in their wardrobe, as well as great inspiration for the way we should all decorate our homes, and perhaps the way Mary-Kate (and fiancé Olivier Sarkozy) will decorate their new New York townhouse. Give your space that Olsen identity with quality pieces with bold, yet simple designs; shop our top picks below.

Summer is finally here and we'll all be needing sunscreen and lots of it and the FDA Guidelines will stress how no sunscreen is water proof and needs to be applied frequently.
