APC ward congress: What Imo APC leaders discussed with Osinbajo
Leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo State on Thursday met with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential villa behind closed doors.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Governor Rochas Okorocha was not in the meeting although he was at the VP wing of the Presidential villa at the time.
The meeting was as a result of the disagreement between Gov Okorocha and the APC leaders over the result of the May 2 ward congresses held in the state, with the governor claiming that the congresses did not hold.
Okorocha had met with President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura and now the Vice President pushing for the cancellation of the congresses.
After the meeting, the APC delegation had initially declined to speak with State House Correspondents, but changed their mind after they saw Okorocha telling the correspondents that new date for the congresses would be announced by the party.
According to Okorocha: "There will be new Congress; there was no Congress at all in Imo State, and it is very clear that even the supporting documents and videos show that there was no Congress.
"INEC has confirmed no Congress, security agencies have confirmed no Congress, the party leadership has confirmed no Congress, and the party chairman has spoken no Congress.
"And, nobody came to the field, the result sheets was missing and it was traceable to the national organizing secretary's house (Sen. Izunaso) and all of a sudden the chairman of the panel disappeared from his house at 6pm in the evening.
"How could there have been Congress? The matter is being investigated by the security agencies."
"If all these have been established why did you (the APC chieftains) have to come with your delegates to see the VP?'' He added.
The governor stated that he was not part of the delegation but came for a different thing all together.
"I didn't come for this meeting,'' he said.
However, Mr Theodore Ekechi, the spokesman for the Imo APC delegation and a former commissioner for information and strategy said the meeting with Osinbajo was very eventful.
"We are grateful for the opportunity and privilege to tell the other side of the story.
"I think by our presentations we have successfully deflated all the lies that have been peddled all over the country and within the state.
"I think by our presentation today, we have been able to state clearly that Congresses clearly and really held.
"What did not take place in Imo state last Saturday was simply that we resisted the temptation, the intimidation, the blackmail to write the results of the congresses in the Government House, Owerri.
"What did not take place last week is that we said the old has passed away and things are going to be done anew in Imo State.
"In other words, not one man determines the results of the congresses in the 305 wards of the state. It is very clear that APC has returned to the owners of the party, that is the people.
"You saw all those who came with the Governor, his son-in law and newly recruited commissioners.
"But here you are, this is Imo State, here we have the deputy governor of the state, the only elected senator of the south east under APC, former speaker house of assembly, Imo state, another former speaker house of assembly.''
He also mentioned Ifeanyi Ararume, the immediate past Secretary to the State Government and immediate past chief of staff, and two former commissioners for information and strategy.
Others were the State Party chairman and his deputy and the 25 local government chairmen of the party in the state.

CNC Turned Parts
Our CNC lathes enable high speed and quality turning of both plastics and metals. The turning process allows for complex external geometries and internal bores to be generated. Our turning capacity is available for prototypes through to low-volume production.
CNC Milled Parts
CNC milling is used to apply a machined surface finish on plastic or metal, or for creating complex 3D shapes. We use domestic and imported 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centers with quick-change tooling, programmed using advanced Delcam software.
EDM / Wire EDM And Surface Grinding
EDM (electrical discharge machining) is a method for cutting holes, pockets and other shapes into hardened steel, as well as imparting a surface texture to the internal cavities of mold tools. A sacrificial electrode in an electrolyte bath discharges a high-powered electric spark to erode very hard materials that would be difficult or impossible to do with any other method. Square pocket holes are often created with this method. With wire EDM, a wire is continuously fed between two spools. When electrically charged, it's able to cut through hardened tool steels quickly and accurately.
At Star, we also offer surface grinding services. When surface grinding, the workpiece is held stationary on a horizontal plate. The surface grinding wheel is computer controlled to abrade the workpiece to a precise depth.
CNC Machining Tolerances
Our general tolerances for CNC machining of metals is DIN-2768-1-fine and for plastics, DIN-2768-1-medium. Tolerances are greatly affected by part geometry and type of material. Our project managers will consult with you on every part of your project and will seek to provide the highest degree of precision possible.

Slip Resistant Tapes Improve Workplace Safety
Research and analysis proves that of all the accidents that can take place in the workplace environment, slips and falls are the most prevalent. To the mind, slips and falls might not seem like a big deal. As a matter of fact, there are popular television shows that have made a living playing video of people falling all the time, because its audience finds it hilarious and trivial. However, business owners will tell you that an accidental slip and fall in the workplace is no laughing matter. In fact, there have been several expensive lawsuits brought against companies that involved slip and falls, and a company's inability to protect its employees or place proper signage or inhibitors to prevent a slip and fall from happening. Fortunately, there are steps business owners can take to prevent slips and falls from taking place, and the main step is installing slip resistant tapes to improve workplace safety.
Slip resistant tapes create a friction on the floor when walking across it, giving your footing traction when moving through a room. This is especially important if there has been an accumulation of liquid and condensation while trying to move fast through a room, hallway, or corridor. Concerning workplace safety, slip resistant tapes will keep your employees from falling if they are working in an environment that creates a slippery floor. Workers could be operating or handling heavy equipment, so making sure there is a minimal possibility of slipping and falling while carrying heavy equipment is paramount to ensuring optimal safety in the workplace.

Wednesday, Jul 11, 1979
South San Francisco, Calif. -- July 11, 1979 --Genentech, Inc., today announced the successful bacterial production of human growth hormone (hGH) using molecular biological techniques. Genentech's announcement of hGH production follows the company's success in producing human insulin and somatostatin using similar technology. This announcement follows the formal communication of Genentech's research results to the scientific community at the Mile's Symposium on July 11, 1979, in a research paper delivered by Genentech's Dr. David Goeddel.
Human growth hormone is a protein hormone produced in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain mediating both growth and stature. It is currently used in the treatment of "hypopituitary dwarfism," a children's disease in which the pituitary malfunctions and secretes insufficient amounts of hGH for normal growth, and results in dwarfism. Hypopituitary dwarfism is currently treated by administering hGH extracted from the pituitaries of human cadavers. Although this is a rare disease, hGH supplies are now so limited that many suffering from hypopituitary dwarfism are unable to receive treatment.
The successful bacterial production of hGH will enable the production of sufficient quantities of hGH to treat all those hypopituitary patients who could benefit from its administration.
In addition to being efficacious for dwarfism, hGH may have value in treating diffuse gastric bleeding, burns, bone disintegration, bone fractures, and other diseases. Supplies of hGH have been so limited that research has been restricted in these areas, but now adequate supplies of hGH produced by microbial sources will enable clinicians to investigate these important therapeutic uses.
The molecular biological techniques involve combining the genes of different organism to form a hybrid molecule. Genes are composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which contain the chemical record in which genetic information is encoded. Scientists at Genentech inserted the gene carrying the genetic information for hGH (along with the necessary control mechanism) into a special plasmid. Plasmids (normal bacterial cell constituents) are circular pieces of DNA into which new pieces of DNA can be inserted using recombinant DNA techniques.
The plasmid with the hGH gene was inserted into a special bacterial strain. Once inside the bacteria, the hGH DNA is used a a template to produce the hGH protein.
At Genentech, a scientific team led by David Goeddel, Ph.D., and Peter Seeburg, Ph.D., achieved the production of hGH in bacteria. Synthetic DNA fragments used in the project were made by Keiichi Itakura, Ph.D., and coworkers at the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California.
The hGH achievement goes beyond the work done earlier by Genentech on human somatostatin and insulin in three important aspects:
Genentech's research efforts on hGH production were funded by AB Kabi, a Swedish pharmaceutical firm, which is the world's leading supplier of hGH produced through pituitary extraction. Genentech and Kabi will be marketing the hGH produced as a result of this collaborative effort.
"The development of human growth hormone further demonstrates the viability of using the new molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology to produce products with practical application," said Robert Swanson, president of Genentech.
"Testing and refinement of the production process, and FDA approval, is needed before hGH will be available. It is Genentech's goal to make hGH and other products produced by genetically engineered microorganisms safely available to the people who need them in the shortest possible time," Swanson said.
Genentech, a privately financed corporation, was organized solely to develop commercial application of molecular genetic technology. Genentech announced its first product -- the hormone somatostatin--in late 1977, and its second product -- human insulin -- in late 1978.
Human growth hormone is polypeptide (protein) made in the pituitary, which is composed of 191 amino acids with two internal disulfides bonds.
In a series of biochemical processes, organisms, including simple bacteria, translate the genetic information contained in DNA into polypeptides. The general steps are DNA---------------messenger RNA-----------------polypeptide.
Scientists synthesized several DNA fragments which were joined enzymatically to form a DNA segment coding for about 12% of the hGH polypeptides. They then extracted hGH messenger RNA from human pituitaries and converted in enzymatically to DNA in vitro. This DNA segment was joined enzymatically with the synthetic DNA segment to form the complete gene coding for hGH. Using enzymes, the hGH DNA was stitched into circular DNA plasmids. The newly-constructed plasmids were introduced into a strain of E. Coli in accordance with the NIH guidelines for recombinant DNA work.
Once inside the bacteria, the newly-inserted hGH gene was expressed, and the bacteria produced hGH identical to the natural substance as determined by several biochemical methods.
Insulin is a protein hormone composed of two chains of amino acids: an "A" chain and a "B" chain linked together by two disulfide bonds. The "A" chain is composed of 21 amino acids and the "B" chain of 30 amino acids, each arranged in a uniquely ordered sequence.
Proteins are made by translating the genetic information which is carried in a cell's genes. Scientists synthesized in the laboratory genes for the two insulin "A" and "B" chains. This was accomplished by chemically linking together small pieces of DNA sequence and then joining them in a specific manner to form complete genes.
Once the genes were synthesized, they were stitched into circular DNA strands called "plasmids" using special enzymes to perform the molecular surgery. Plasmids are rings of DNA which are found within the cell. The newly constructed plasmids containing the transplanted genetic material were introduced into a benign E. coli bacterial strain.
Once inside the bacteria, the genes were "switched-on" by the bacteria to translate the code into either the "A" chain or the "B" chain proteins found in insulin. The process is the same as that used by bacteria to produce its own proteins. When the cells produced sufficient amounts of the "A" and "B"chains, they were harvested to isolate these proteins from the bacteria and purify it. The two chains were then combined chemically in the laboratory to form the complete Insulin molecule which is identical to that produced by the human body.

In June 2014, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC's) Division of Investment Management provided guidance (the Guidance Update) on how private fund managers using special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and escrow accounts may comply with Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-2 (the Custody Rule) [1] with respect to such vehicles and accounts.
Under the Custody Rule, registered investment advisers have custody of the assets of each private fund for which they or their affiliates serve as general partner or managing member or where they otherwise act in a "control" capacity.[2] Such registered investment advisers (or private fund managers) generally comply with the Custody Rule by delivering audited financial statements for the fund to each beneficial owner within 120 days of the end of each fund's fiscal year.[3]
The Guidance Update clarifies how the audit provision of the Custody Rule applies to private fund managers whose funds utilize SPVs and/or escrow accounts. Depending on the circumstances, the private fund manager may be required to obtain a separate audit for SPVs and/or escrow accounts utilized by a private fund.
The Guidance Update provides that a separate audit of a SPV is not required if:
(1) The SPV's assets are included in the scope of the audited financial statements of one or more private funds advised by the private fund manager; and
(2) The SPV is not owned by any parties other than the private fund manager, the private fund manager's related persons and private funds advised by the private fund manager.
The Guidance Update clarifies that a separate audit is required for any SPV that does not meet the above requirements. This clarification could potentially be problematic for private fund managers who utilize SPVs such as liquidating trusts for the purposes of segregating their funds' illiquid assets and making in-kind distributions to funds' investors once any portion of the SPV is so distributed.
The Guidance Update with respect to escrow accounts is limited to a fairly narrow set of circumstances. With regard to escrow accounts, the Guidance Update states that the Division of Investment Management would not object if an adviser maintains assets owned by a private fund in an escrow account so long as:
(1) The portion of the escrow account owned by the private fund is included in the private fund's audited financial statements;
(2) The escrow account is for the sale or merger of a portfolio company owned by the private fund;
(3) The amount of money held in the escrow account was negotiated by the buyer and seller of the portfolio company;
(4) The duration of the escrow account was negotiated by the buyer and seller;
(5) The escrow account is maintained at a qualified custodian; and
(6) The sellers' representative is contractually obligated to promptly distribute the funds remaining in the escrow account at the end of the escrow period on a predetermined formula to the sellers, including the private funds.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your regular Drinker Biddle lawyer and we will be happy to assist you.

Itronics Inc. - A cleantech Specialty Fertilizer,
Silver and
Mineral Producer
6490 S. McCarran Blvd
Bldg. C, Suite 23
Reno, NV 89510
Itronics Reports 2016 Third Quarter
Sales up 13 Percent
RENO, NV--(Marketwired - December
13, 2016) - Itronics Inc. (ITRO) a
diversified fertilizer and silver
producing green technology company
today announced third quarter sales
increased 13 percent with a 17
percent increase in fertilizer
sales. First nine months sales
decreased 18 percent on a 17 percent
decrease in fertilizer sales and a
14 percent increase in silver sales.
Total Revenues for the third quarter
ended September 30 were $230,869
compared to $205,200 in the prior
year quarter. Total Revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2016
were $1,199,249 compared to
$1,461,262 in the same period in
2015. Nine month GOLD'n GRO
fertilizer sales volume decreased by
21 percent and revenues were down 17
percent due to a shift in product
mix. The sales decline occurred in
the first half and was due to heavy
rains in our California markets
during the first quarter and a
reduction in fertilizer purchases by
nut tree growers due to an almost 50
percent collapse in the farm prices
for almonds and English walnuts.
Silver sales increased 14 percent.
Photo Services decreased 1 percent
on an 8 percent increase in spent
silver-bearing photoliquids
received. Silver content of those
liquids was slightly less than in
the same period in 2015 and is now
in the unprocessed photo liquid
inventory for future recovery.
With test refining of e-scrap
beginning, Itronics is expecting
silver sales to make a significant
contribution to total sales in 2017.
The Company believes that the
increase in GOLD'n GRO fertilizer
sales in the third quarter marks a
turning point from weather induced
decline to new application driven
growth, since most of the third
quarter growth was from sales in new
crop applications. Overall, the
expected contribution from silver
sales is expected to create
significant sales growth for the
Company. Growth in GOLD'n GRO
fertilizer sales would expand total
sales growth even more.
Itronics is aggressively advancing
development of its sustainability
maximizing portfolio of new "Zero
Waste" technologies whose objective
is to create new non-seasonal lines
of business using the Company's core
technologies. The focus of the
leaching and fire refining
technology extensions is on pilot
scale development of refining feed
materials that contain silver and
other precious metals, along with
zinc and other base metals.
Early in the fourth quarter the
Company announced that assembly of
the five times pilot leach plant
scale-up is complete. The new
leaching technology has advanced to
the point that a fourth product,
elemental sulfur, is now being
recovered. Removal of sulfur
increases the capacity of the silver
refining furnaces which are now
being used for testing the use of
the silver concentrate from the
pilot plant to recover base and
precious metals from the e-scrap.
A melting campaign to develop
e-scrap refining procedures has been
used to determine quantities of
silver concentrate and e-scrap that
can be processed and the fire
refining procedures to do this. The
new process is now producing metal
bullion, copper-silver matte, and
glass slag. Representative samples
of each product category have been
submitted to an independent
laboratory for measurement. This
work is demonstrating that the
current scale of test refining may
well be profitable as a part of
existing operations. While not yet
large, silver sales will provide an
expanding non-seasonal sales
component to mitigate the
seasonality of the GOLD'n GRO
fertilizer sales.
The Company's progress in developing
its integrated technology portfolio
is attracting inquiries from large
corporations for joint venture
development, licensing, and supply
possibilities. The Company is
participating in a successful
strategic manufacturing, licensing,
and marketing agreement with one of
the largest fertilizer companies in
the United States for development
and marketing of the GOLD'n GRO
fertilizers. Itronics is interested
in developing strategic
relationships with other companies
as appropriate for the technology of
interest; for example, the e-scrap
refining development and expansion,
the zinc flue dust technology
development, and application
development of the KAM-Thio
technology at one or more mine or
industrial projects. The Company is
seeking a similar type of
relationship for development of its
Auric Fulstone zinc silver lead
copper gold project in the Yerington
Mining District.
The Company recently entered into a
preliminary supply agreement with a
northern Nevada Company that
dismantles e-scrap and sells the
harvested components. This Company
is supplying Itronics the circuit
boards recovered from discarded
computers for use in the test
refining that is now on-going. This
is a strategic relationship that is
expected to provide community job
opportunities for people with
disabilities, including veterans.
2016 First Nine Month Sales Results
Unaudited Revenues for the third
quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2016 together with
comparative figures for 2015 are
presented below:
Operational Developments
One of the Company's fundamental
strengths is its ability to invent,
build, and operate green "zero
waste" technology to completely
convert certain categories of
hazardous waste materials into cash
through the production and sale of
commercial goods. The Company is
using this creative ability to
diversify and further integrate its
operations by developing a portfolio
of core "zero waste" technology
extensions to establish year-round
non-seasonal sales in new markets
and to produce internally generated
raw materials for use in GOLD'n GRO
fertilizers. The focus of these
technology extensions is on
processing materials that contain
silver and other precious metals,
and zinc with other base metals.
GOLD'n GRO Fertilizers. The Company
has identified a potential new
environmental benefit that may be
obtained by using GOLD'n GRO
fertilizers. Based on experience,
the Company has observed that the
non-nutrient metals cadmium, lead,
and mercury are not soluble in the
GOLD'n GRO fertilizers. Vegetable
growers have a need to minimize
uptake of cadmium from the soil by
vegetable crops.
The Company's distributor is
performing field tests that are
demonstrating that one of the GOLD'n
GRO fertilizers is able to reduce
cadmium uptake from high cadmium
content soil for certain vegetable
crops. Field testing is continuing
and includes some changes in
fertilization procedures that are
necessary for the program to work.
Plans for introducing the new
fertilizer application and
recommended changes in fertilization
procedures are being delayed until
the procedures for managing cadmium
are better defined by the regulatory
Over time, cadmium levels have
increased in agricultural soils,
leading to increases in cadmium
uptake by crops. Cadmium build up in
agricultural soils is occurring
worldwide and is especially
important for vegetables and field
grains. Cadmium has no known
nutritional value to humans or
plants, and it is known to be a
health hazard for humans. Minimizing
cadmium uptake by vegetables and
field grains is desirable to
minimize its presence in the human
Silver Production. The Company has
completed a refining campaign which
includes incorporating ground up
personal computer circuit board
scrap (e-waste) to provide
quantitative data that can be used
to evaluate the feasibility of
refining e-scrap to recover its
copper, silver, gold, palladium, and
possibly its tin content. This work
is ongoing and is now producing
metal bullion, copper silver matte,
and silver-bearing glass.
Assembly of the FeLix, SuLix
leaching technology pilot operations
five times scale up is now completed
and start up testing is underway.
The pilot circuit is operational at
its previous scale. The expanded
pilot leaching plant is expected to
be fully operational in December.
An elemental sulfur powder recovery
step is being developed for the
process so that the sulfur can be
recovered for use in GOLD'n GRO
fertilizers or for sale. Recovery of
elemental sulfur is producing a
significant improvement in leach
process efficiency which will
further increase refining capacity
by reducing the amount of silver
concentrate delivered to the
refinery, while retaining all of the
silver contained in the starting
E-scrap Processing Feasibility
Study. In the second quarter 2015
Itronics announced that it had
started a feasibility study to
determine whether e-scrap (personal
computer circuit boards) processing
can be integrated into the new
refining operation. Significant
progress is being made and minimum
quantities needed for economic
viability have been identified and
are now being tested in the refining
The Company is gathering
quantitative processing information
to determine the operating
parameters needed to recover
commercially meaningful amounts of
copper, silver, gold, palladium, and
possibly tin from e-scrap.
Sufficient work has been completed
so that the Company is able to
estimate the amount of personal
computer circuit board scrap that it
will require to support minimum
scale commercial operation. The
Company has entered into a
preliminary agreement to purchase
personal computer circuit boards
from a northern Nevada computer
services company that disassembles
discarded personal computers and
sorts the contents for sale to
recyclers. The economics of a supply
arrangement are being evaluated as
part of the on-going refining
development work.
KAM-Thio Process Development. The
KAM-Thio technology is being
developed by using one of the
already proven and field tested
GOLD'n GRO fertilizers. Development
of this technology is expected to
add non-seasonal chemical sales to
the silver/gold mining industry, and
possibly for use in other industries
for cyanide neutralization. As
KAM-Thio is developed, it will
become a non-seasonal component to
expanding GOLD'n GRO fertilizer
Laboratory tests conducted by the
Company have demonstrated that
KAM-Thio has the ability to leach
silver from the silver bearing glass
slag generated by the Company's
silver refinery. The tests have also
demonstrated that KAM-Thio liquid is
stable in the leaching application.
Independent laboratory tests have
demonstrated that KAM-Thio is able
to neutralize the cyanide contained
in spent cyanide solution generated
by gold-silver leaching.
The amount of KAM-Thio required to
neutralize cyanide is in a range
appropriate for leaching gold and
silver from ore. The next step for
KAM-Thio technology development is
to conduct a series of tests on
silver-gold ore samples to measure
the silver-gold leaching
capabilities of KAM-Thio. The
Company plans to proceed with this
work once the expanded pilot
leaching circuit is operational and
the e-scrap processing feasibility
study is nearer to completion.
Zinc Flue Dust Process Development.
An Itronics press release dated
March 17, 2015 announced a technical
breakthrough by successfully testing
electro winning as a process to
recover metallic zinc powder from
zinc enriched liquids that are
produced by leaching zinc oxide from
zinc bearing flue dust. The
innovative zinc recycling technology
Itronics is developing is expected
to eliminate the waste completely by
converting all components to
saleable goods (a new "Zero Waste
Technology). The process being
developed may use up to 40 percent
less electrical energy compared to
conventional zinc refining. The
potential energy savings would be a
strong economic driver for the
project. This work was put on hold
in the second half of 2015 while
higher priority projects are being
The zinc price has recently been at
a four-year high and is expected to
stay in the range of its current
price or trend higher. This increase
in zinc price makes development of
the zinc flue dust recovery
technology more desirable to the
Company due to cost savings that
could be achieved by using recovered
zinc to replace primary zinc that is
currently purchased for manufacture
of the GOLD'n GRO zinc micronutrient
fertilizers which are a significant
percentage of total GOLD'n GRO
fertilizer sales.
The Company's new five times scaled
up leach reactor system, and the
previous smaller leach reactor
system are now available to be used
for the necessary leaching test work
that must be completed to perfect
the new process. A timetable to
proceed with this work has not yet
been established, but sustained
higher zinc prices will provide an
economic incentive to activate this
Battery Recycling Evaluation: The
Company is studying the potential
use of the electricity generating
contents of silver batteries and
"non-rechargeable" alkaline
batteries as a source of raw
material for use in manufacturing
the GOLD'n GRO fertilizers and for
silver production. Once the Company
has completed the testing and
startup of e-scrap refining, it will
evaluate processing of silver oxide
batteries which have to be crushed
or ground up prior to introduction
into the refining furnace.
Processing silver oxide batteries
would increase the silver feed to
the refinery for use in refining
e-scrap and would be non-seasonal.
The alkaline batteries contain
potassium, zinc, and manganese. The
potassium and zinc are recoverable
using Itronics' leaching technology
and are raw materials needed for
manufacturing GOLD'n GRO
fertilizers. The manganese remains
in the solid residue from leaching.
In the second quarter a decision was
made to begin laboratory evaluation
to develop leaching technology to
solubilize manganese. The work is
producing some positive results and
is progressing with the lab work
being performed on a "time
availability" basis.
Auric Fulstone Project. An Itronics
press release dated January 20, 2015
announced that its subsidiary
Whitney & Whitney, Inc. has
identified surface high grade
zinc-lead-silver mineralization at
its Auric Gold & Minerals Fulstone
copper-gold exploration project.
Within the Auric Fulstone project
area, the Company has discovered
surface high grade zinc, lead, and
silver mineralization that contain
anomalous molybdenum in a large area
that is geochemically anomalous for
zinc. It has also discovered high
grade copper mineralization that
contains anomalous gold and
molybdenum in a separate area that
is anomalous for copper. Discovery
of the potential for significant
zinc, lead, silver, and molybdenum
mineralization increases the
economic attractiveness of the
project by adding potentially
significant near surface zinc, lead,
silver, and molybdenum values to the
over-all copper and gold values that
are expected to be identified as the
project is explored. The Company is
evaluating options for developing
this project and has been discussing
joint venture development with
potentially interested parties.
Copper, zinc, and silver are all at
multi-year highs which is creating
investor interest in successfully
funding and launching this program.

It's true. Just watch how the competition of the game makes the playing more fun!
Times may have changed but we discovered that shuffleboard has not changed on a visit to 'Tween Waters Inn. Walking around the first evening we noticed a Shuffleboard Court beside the tennis courts near the pool. The area located below the Athletic Center also has a Bocce Court where guests toss balls and play the European version of horseshoes many people know well.
Living nearby for many years my husband, Eric and I both remember seeing local seniors playing on the shuffleboard courts overlooking the river marina in downtown Fort Myers. Growing up in Florida, I fondly remember playing on community shuffleboard courts as a kid and not having any idea what we were doing. Many of the shuffleboard clubs around Florida today were founded in the early 1900's. Shuffleboard and bocce are both played around the world and over 500 years ago throughout the Roman Empire.
The next day we checked with the front desk about the shuffleboard equipment, divided the colored discs called 'biscuits', Googled the rules, and put our cue sticks or 'tangs' into play. Before starting we grabbed frozen drinks from the Oasis Pool Bar and then we let the games begin. We had a relaxing good time together and talked about hosting a group of friends or family for a long weekend and holding our own tournament just for fun.
It turns out that the triangle painted at each end of the court is the 'target' and the numbers are the 'points' a player gets for landing in a particular area. As players launch their biscuits down the court, the biscuits shuffle around when one slides and bumps opponents on the other end. So much for kids play without a care for the scoring, because the competition for points got interesting.
For guests who like more aerobics in their game, 'Tween Waters Inn has a Volleyball net on the beach. Now there's a workout… I like to watch volleyball and get some sun when I hang out on the beach. I can't say who won our weekend shuffleboard tournament at 'Tween Waters Inn but it was likely my husband who had the better shuffleboard skills. Me, I'm generally focused on having a great time.
On your next visit to Captiva Island to relax – make time for some shuffleboard and enjoy.

Let me second Tom Piatak. I think the best way to start appreciating Ella is by getting (off iTunes, for example) the various songbooks she recorded--Cole Porter, Gershwin, Rogers and Hart. In these she sings mainly straight without a lot of jazzing around. My wife generally dislikes most jazz (except George Shearing and a few others) but she is always asking me to play the lady with the beautiful voice.

Last Tuesday, Salvador started work on the song's music video, which was teased recently by Ivory on its official YouTube page.
"Believe", which has eight tracks, was earlier described by Salvador as being inspired by the music of pop stars Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce.
Noting the album won't feature "birit" or songs with soaring notes, Salvador shared that the tracks were tailor-made for her voice.
"Kung ano 'yung kayang ibigay ng boses ko, swinak nila. Kung ano 'yung babagay sa boses ko, iyon 'yung mga kantang binigay nila sa akin."

Where to Stay in Pondicherry - Luxury Beach Resorts, Villa Hotels, and Spiritual Retreats
Find a place to stay
Wherever you decide to stay in Pondicherry (also known as Puducherry), you'll always be within a short distance of the city's many beaches. The French Quarter is one of the most culturally rich areas and its pastel-coloured colonial buildings have a rustic charm. Auroville is the hub of health, wellness, and spirituality in Pondicherry.
Promenade Beach
Lined with palm trees, lively Promenade Beach offers far-reaching views across the Bay of Bengal. While wandering along this 1.2 km stretch of sand, you can spot landmarks like The French War Memorial, as well as statues of Gandhi and colonial administrator Joseph François Dupleix. The beach itself is clean and flanked by interesting French architecture, so it makes a great spot for basking in the sun. The city's Botanical Gardens are nearby too, with acres of lush flowers and plants to explore.
French colonial design and minimalist interiors are typical in this part of the city. From beachfront guest houses to luxury hotels, there are options to suit most budgets, with the majority offering sea views.

The French Quarter
This neighbourhood was the backdrop for the film "Life of Pi", which quickly transformed it into one of the most chic places to go in Pondicherry. It has a rich cultural and historical heritage, with colourful buildings lining cobblestone streets. Raj Nivas, the Neoclassical residence of the governor of Pondicherry, is nearby, while Promenade Beach is a short stroll away.
You can stay in guest houses with shady verandas and colonial-era interiors, or book a room at a fashionable 4-star hotel with glass walls. There's plenty of comfortable, modern accommodation available, including hotels with swimming pools and full amenities.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram & Auroville
The vision for Auroville is based on the philosophy of the late guru Sri Aurobindo and his collaborator Mirra Richard, affectionately known as "The Mother." It's based on central tenets of peace, harmony, and unity for all - regardless of religion, race, or nationality. Considered a fully functioning city, there are lots of interesting things to do here. You can spend your time watching live performances, admiring work by local artists, or experiencing rejuvenating spa treatments.
Auroville's accommodation options range from hotels with air-conditioning, satellite TV, and unlimited Internet, to a serene healing centre with a menu of natural therapies. If you're looking for somewhere cozy to stay, there are guest houses and B&Bs to choose between, too.

Serenity Beach
Sandy Serenity Beach, 8 km from the centre of Pondicherry, is a picturesque spot where you can spend a day splashing in the water and lying in the sun. The beach is clean and there are several restaurants in close proximity. Simplicity is the key here, so it's a good option for travellers looking for a quiet place to enjoy sea views and tranquility.
The seafront resorts near Serenity Beach are a big draw for travellers who stay in the area. Rustic beach villas are another option, or you can book a hotel room with an outdoor spa tub for romantic stargazing.
Search for Serenity Beach hotels
Paradise Beach
Paradise Beach is accessed by boat, so you'll really feel like you're leaving the world behind when you venture here. Some ferries sail longer routes through backwaters to reach the beach, allowing you time to enjoy the scenic views. There are a few restaurants nearby, so you won't have to worry about getting hungry after playing in the waves.
Within a short stroll of Chunnambar Boat House, the departure point for Paradise Beach, you'll find exotic resorts and hotel villas. Staying at these laid-back places means you can keep the beach vibe going once you leave the shore.

In spite of the usual warnings of a deluge, courtesy of the MetOffice, the day dawned warm, and cheerful with a brisk breeze sending clouds scurrying high above the sky. Similarly, bleak warnings regarding the tailbacks we should expect on our journey were also unfounded, and we found ourselves in the state of the art surroundings of the John Charles Stadium complete with a view of the City of Leeds.
Cottingham Campus held its annual sports day on 6th July 2017 and was attended by two other Focus Schools – Hornby Campus and York Campus. All students across both primary and secondary took part in at least 1 event on the day, with many choosing to take on more events to help their team gain extra points. This sports day was the first one to be competed in the international house teams which have recently been created – Warriors, Raiders and Troopers and the battle to find the winning house turned out to be a very competitive one, The commitment, energy and passion, in addition to the natural talent on display, was excellent! The suspense as some drew close to, or exceeded; records was immense. Moreover, watching the look on a competitor's face as they finished an event and realised that they had, indeed, beaten their Person Best was most rewarding, with Warriors finally coming out on top – only by a very fine margin! There were many outstanding achievements, including two Focus records beaten by Cottingham Campus – KS4 Boys Relay (Hurricane Team) and KS3 Girls High Jump (Cassia Wade). We all had a lesson on being "in it to win it!" when the difference in points between the winning team and the one that came next was less than the point won by one plucky competitor who ran her race alone! The event was thoroughly enjoyed by students, staff and parents and no doubt everybody is looking forward to next year's sports day already!
Please also see our video, under the 'video' tab, funnily enough.

After heading back to Phnom Penh, Cambodia we said goodbye to Bre as she headed to the airport and back home to Seattle. Our own journey would be continuing a bit longer. We took a flight to Chiang Mai, Thailand, for a much needed full month in one spot, no packing up and moving, no planning where we were going to be or stay or eat. We were finally able to relax and really get to know one place very well, and get caught up on this blog as well!
Category Archives: Thailand
Chiang Rai, Thailand
After Singapore we were planning on heading into Laos, but we didn't want to fly directly there. We had read and heard about a two day riverboat from the Thai border and decided to check it out. So we flew back to Thailand instead to spend a day in the city of Chiang Rai near the Laos border. From there we could check out some of the sights in northern Thailand and arrange for boat tickets.
Koh Kradan – The Perfect Beach?
Koh Kradan, our last destination in Thailand before heading for Malaysia, and our last chance to find Thailand's perfect beach. Sitting just across the water from Koh Mook, for once our travel day was quite short and easy and hardly interrupted our busy schedule of relaxing on the beach at all. Thirty minutes by longtail and we found ourselves standing on a long gorgeous white sand beach. Uninterrupted sand stretching as far as we could see in either direction and the brightest blue green water either of us had ever seen. Could this finally be the perfect beach?
Koh Mook, Thailand – In Search Of The Perfect Beach
Still in search of Thailand's perfect beach we packed our bags and left our little beach bungalow on Koh Yao Noi behind. We headed to the closest pier to hop aboard the next longtail to the mainland, to continue our quest at our next island destination. We traveled further south and east towards Malaysia, to Thailand's Trang Islands, a promising archipelago of small picturesque isles. After some intense research, which included random pointing at a map and some light reading, we decided on the island of Koh Mook. There we hoped to find some striking towering rock cliffs, vibrant turquoise water, great snorkeling and of course our perfect beach.
The Island of Koh Yao Noi
After our first tropical island getaway we were excited to explore a few more islands over the next couple weeks in order to get a better idea of what Thailand's islands have to offer. Our next destination was the island of Koh Yao Noi, this time on the western side, or Andaman Sea side (that's the Indian Ocean side), of the Thai peninsula. So we boarded the high speed catamaran from Koh Tao to the mainland...
The Islands of Thailand – Koh Tao
Leaving the modern city of Bangkok, and all its malls and modern conveniences behind we boarded a night train heading south in order to catch a boat to the islands and beaches of southern Thailand. Our first destination, the beautiful white beaches and green jungle covered cliffs, and perfect turquoise water of Koh Tao. A place to soak up the sun, snorkel over the reefs and drink apparently sun shy beverages with tiny umbrellas on the beach.
A week in Bangkok, Thailand
After spending two weeks exploring Sri Lanka we boarded a plane to our next destination Bangkok, Thailand! We had been moving around fairly often in Sri Lanka, not spending more than two or three days in once place, so we decided we wanted to spend a week in one spot without moving and where better than Bangkok, an exciting city with tons to do! So we got on airbnb and booked a week at a great little apartment with pool and a view!

20 November (Part 2) - Lights out in Welling
Today has not gone according to plan and it is no longer realistic to expect
another report on last Tuesday's Cabinet meeting before the weekend.
Most of yesterday was spent in Newham and Waltham Forest. A free visitor's parking permit in Newham (conditions apply but £2 for equivalent permit in Bexley) and playing motoring hopscotch with the innumerable yellow box junctions in and around Chingford. Sometimes you cannot help being stopped in them when the unpredictable happens, like when a child steps off a pedestrian refuge and then freezes. It's happened to me but no resultant penalty.
According to the local newspaper in Waltham Forest some yellow box junctions are little short of being deliberate traps.
Now that Bexley council is both desperate for money and has taken the same surveillance powers as other councils, the plague will spread.
Returning through Blackwall after midnight I detoured into darkest Welling.
It was pretty dark and dingy in the area covered by Bexley's no lights experiment even though the lights were still on. I'd forgotten the official off time so assumed it must be later than half past midnight and made my way home
The lights, LED I assume, were barely adequate. Nothing like as bright as the more familiar sodium lamps.
Meanwhile I suspect the lighting experiment is another example of shifting Bexley council's budget on to someone else's shoulders. Usually the police but this time the householders' insurance policies too.

Stainless pipes are loved by a lot of because of the many wonderful features that they have. A few of these features include:
Strength and ductility: Experts say, stainless provides strength and greater mechanical qualities than every other tubing option including carbon, steel, and surefire tubes. Even if you expose the tubes to high temperatures, they've been proven to keep their high tensile and stress-to-rupture strength. Because the units are strong, the pipe walls can be created thinner this provides you with the pipes ductility.
Resistance: The units comprise various materials that improve their resistance. This stuff are: nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. Because of the materials, steel is resistant against oxidation, corrosive elements, high temperatures and erosion. The resistance helps make the tubes well suited for shipbuilding and maritime applications.
Heat treatability: Certain kinds of steel enables for example 410 are heat treatable. This selection enables you to definitely easily customize the pipes to ensure that these to achieve certain chemical and physical qualities.
Affordability: Because they are resistant against a multitude of elements, they are simple to maintain. This protects you lots of money over time. The units will also be durable therefore, it's not necessary to continue replacing them every occasionally. That as well helps you save money.
How to get proper care of your pipes
For that pipes to carry on working effectively and continue for a lengthy time, you have to take good proper care of them. One thing that you could do is clean the pipes. The chromium layer around the pipes combines with oxygen developing a chromium oxide film that protects the pipes from further corrosion. Dirt along with other materials avoid the oxidation process thus exposing the pipes to corrosion.
You need to regularly clean the pipes to be able to take away the dirt. Washing the pipes also maintains the great look. If you are planning to handle within the pipes, handle with clean mitts or cloths. This really is to protect the pipes against pistol safe and stains.
This really is what you ought to learn about stainless pipes. The pipes come in various sizes. To prevent damaging the units make use of the right size pipe for the best application. It's also wise to be sure that the pipes are set up by a skilled and licensed professional. Also, make sure that you purchase them from the trustworthy store.
When searching for a reliable and reputed company for steel pipes, you should look forward to the best company. A good option would be astm a671 pipe Manufacturers. They would help you in company formation in the best and quick manner.

Barn dance to raise profile of underfunded cancer
23 November 2011A woman from Goodrington in Paignton is campaigning for more awareness of the deadliest cancer – pancreatic cancer – after losing her husband to the disease earlier this year
A woman from Goodrington in Paignton is campaigning for more awareness of the deadliest cancer – pancreatic cancer – after losing her husband to the disease earlier this year.
Jean Pizey hopes to raise £2,000 for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund (PCRF) from a barn dance in memory of her husband John, who died on 25 March, aged 67, just eight weeks after his diagnosis.
"John went to the doctors about a pain in his upper abdomen and was sent home with painkillers but they didn't help," says Jean. "When he made another appointment a fortnight later, I asked if he wanted me to go with him and to my surprise, he said yes, which was very unusual for him. I think this was the first time I realised that he was really worried and that he suspected that something was very wrong."
His fears were justified. A different doctor examined him thoroughly and referred him to Torbay Hospital, where a CT scan confirmed that he had pancreatic cancer which had already spread to his liver. Unusually for people suffering from pancreatic cancer, John had been diagnosed quickly - but not early enough for surgery - and his condition was terminal.
"The consultant took John's hand and told him that he had a year, at best, to live," says Jean.
John had a friend who had died of pancreatic cancer the year before so he was aware how aggressive this cancer is. He told Jean "I'll fight this while I can, and when I can't, you've got to promise to let me go."
Although John was determined to die at home, he deteriorated rapidly and at one of his hospital appointments, he agreed to be admitted so that the doctors could help manage his condition.
Jean says: "The staff on the Turner Ward at Torbay Hospital were wonderful. It was a great comfort to have such kind, professional staff caring for his physical needs – much better than we could have done at home. This meant we could concentrate on simply being with him for the time he had left." John died two days later with Jean and her two sons at his bedside.
Jean was shocked and angry to discover that despite having the worst survival rates of any common cancer, with only 3 out of every 100 people surviving for 5 years, pancreatic cancer receives less than 2% overall research funding.
The barn dance will be held at St George's Hall in Goodrington on Saturday 26 November, with local Ceilidh band the Barnacles. John's best friend, David Ewing, will be compering the event.
"It felt right to hold the barn dance in November as it's Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month," says Jean. "It's going to be really fun evening and a lovely way for us all to get together in John's memory. I know barn dancing isn't everyone's cup of tea – and in fact a few friends have paid not to come, which John would have found hilarious."
