When fish eggs hatch, the larvae rely on the yolk sac to provide the nutritional needs before they begin feeding.
In hatcheries, sufficient amounts of high quality starter feeds can be continuously supplied, providing all larvae with an equal opportunity to feed. This ensures low deformities and a very high survival rate. Feeding GEMMA instead of the traditional newly-hatched Artemia metanauplii results in juveniles of the same, consistent high-quality.
Sea bream are still vulnerable during the juvenile stage; small in size and physiologically not completely developed. Our Perla range is a specific pre-ongrowing feed with a low fat formula especially suited for sea bream.
Juveniles are transferred from land-based nurseries to on-growing facilities in the sea. This causes increased stress due to pre-shipment handling, shipment and transfer. Here, a diet giving optimal growth that also prepares the fish for the rigours of sea rearing is needed. Our Perla T range is designed accordingly.
Optimal nutrition for the right size and fed at the right time is key to maximize growth and feed efficiency. Optibream is a complete grower diet specifically designed to satisfy the nutritional requirements of sea bream. Our HTO2 diets provide perfect nutritional conditions during the summer phase.
Broodstock nutrition has a profound influence on the quantity, quality and performance of the offspring. A careful balance of essential nutrients is vital for ensuring brood fish conditioning, optimal sperm and egg development. To ensure optimal nutrition for your broodstock, Vitalis CAL should be offered from the on-set of vitellogenesis until 1 month after spawning. Vitalis REPRO should be offered outside the spawning window in order to maintain optimal conditions for the spawning fish.
Skretting provides a complete range of specific hatchery and nursery nutritional solutions for the challenging first life stages. We also produce dedicated transition diets and broodstock nutrition.
Skretting is committed to producing high performance feeds for maximum growth and feed efficiency while minimising waste. Our Microbalance® concept allows for maximum raw material flexibility.
Our functional feeds provide proactive broad-spectrum support. We also offer nutritional solutions for specific challenges.
Skretting has developed comprehensive models to demonstrate feed performance. This is incorporated in our AquaSim tool which gives specific recommendations about feed and feeding.

In the summer of 1944, long before ENIAC was operational, the eminent Hungarian/American mathematician John von Neumann, was introduced to the work being done on the ENIAC by Goldstine when they met by chance on a railway platform. Shortly afterwards, Von Neumann became a consultant on the project and the next summer he circulated a First Draft Report on the EDVAC. This set out the principles on which a fully effective general purpose computer, as the term is now understood, should be based. In particular it incorporated, for the first time, the concept of controlling the arithmetic and input/output operations via instructions that were stored in the memory, rather than held on punched tape or represented by cables and switches.
Such instructions could be fetched and decoded at a speed comparable with that of the arithmetic unit. Moreover, programs could be prepared away from the machine while it was busy on some other computation, and quickly loaded when required merely by being read into the machine's storage unit.
It was only later, in 1947, that it was appreciated that this would allow instructions themselves to be generated, and perhaps changed, during the course of a computation. Address calculations could be performed in order to select specific data items from storage -
The very great majority of computers constructed for many years broadly used this von Neumann architecture.
However, even now, it is difficult to know just how great was the contribution John von Neumann (a brilliant mathematician but a great publicist) made to these important ideas, since so much originated from Mauchly and Eckert. This question of priority of ideas has remained a matter of bitter dispute for decades.
Von Neumann had met Turing (and Newman) prior to 1939, and was familiar with his work. However, though Turing influenced some of von Neumann's work, it is unclear how far he may have influenced von Neumann's EDVAC report.

Story and photography by Kelly Funk
It's probably a safe bet to say that many people have experienced moments in the great outdoors, or even in an urban setting for that matter, that makes one feel like you're having an out-of-body experience, that literally leaves you captivated and unable to think of anything else as you see the magic of a natural moment unfold before you.
If you're not a photographer, great, sit back and enjoy the moment with a friend or loved one. If you are a photographer who loves to capture moments like this — I'll get into upping your odds at finding these natural phenomenon — then there are certain checks and balances that need to be handled.
When I say handled I'm talking about two things: maintaining composure and minimizing emotions and adrenaline to be able to execute images in a time-sensitive moment; and how quickly we technically compute and then execute what needs to be done.
Sound technical? To be blunt, it's almost like we must become emotionless and robotic at the same time. Now, if that sounds like it takes the fun out of a magical moment, well it kind of does but there's always plenty of time to enjoy that moment after it's over.
Add to that the feeling of accomplishment in capturing that spectacle and it makes up for the loss.
To best illustrate my points, I'll talk about each image in my column, because individually they offered up something entirely different; each is taken with a different camera system to showcase that no matter what we are using as a tool, there needs to be parity with the two points above.

Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Patrick Matibini has directed Information and Broadcasting Minister Dora Siliya to render a ministerial statement on Tuesday November 6, 2018 outlining the editorial policy Times of Zambia Newspaper on the use of languages other than English.
Dr Matibini said this during his ruling which he delivered in Parliament following a point of order which was raised by Leader of the opposition and Member of Parliament for Monze Central on the Chinese article which was published by the Times of Zambia on October 9, this year.
Mr Jack Mwiimbu in his point of Order wanted to know why the publication has been sidelining Zambians by publishing the Chinese language and not any other Zambian language.
And pursuant to Article 23 of the Zambian Constitution the leader of the opposition indicated that it was, trite law that by virtue of this constitution government should not be discriminating anyone who is Zambian or a Resident in Zambia.
He was making reference to a copy of a Times of Zambia Newspaper, alleging that the publication has been discriminating Zambians and against the majority tribes in Zambia by publishing an article under the headline "SADC moods DRC peace whose article is in Chinese language when there has been no such article in the Zambian local languages.
Mr Mwiimbu wondered why government was finding it proper and prudent in its own wisdom to start interpreting articles that are appearing in the newspapers in Chinese.
Mr Mwiimbu asked the Speaker Dr Matibini to make a ruling on whether Information and Broadcasting Minister Dora Siliya was in order to remain quiet and not inform the house and the nation that Chinese is now an official language in Zambia.
In his ruling, the speaker also directed her to issue a statement on the alleged discrimination against the people of Zambia by the Newspaper publication of an article in Chinese other than any local languages contrary to Article 23 of the Constitution.
The Speaker has ruled that under this Article any person shall not be treated in any discriminatory manner by any person acting by virtue of any written words or in the performance of any public office or authority.
"Article 28 of the constitution provides that any person who alleges that he has or he is or likely to be contravened in any other action with respect to the same matter which is lawfully available, that person may seek redress of the High Court", he ruled.
The Speaker stated that pursuant to the doctrine of the separation of power, the National Assembly cannot intervene in matters falling under the jurisdiction of the judiciary branch of government.
In relation to the issue of whether Chinese has become one of the official language in Zambia, the Speaker in his ruling indicated that under Article 258 of the Zambian Constitution English is the official language in Zambia.

Designing a restaurant involves a lot of planning and communicating. If you have not studied with restaurant architecture design concord ca professionals, it can be daunting. Building something from scratch can be stressful and come with a lot of unexpected delays and situations. When you are starting to build your restaurant, there are some things you may want to keep in mind.
Consider the Shapes in the Restaurant
There are going to be several areas in your restaurant that need attention. Planning how these areas flow together is a very important part of designing the restaurant. You must include:
· The kitchen
· Restrooms
· The dining area
· Entry & waiting area
· Optional bar area
Plan the Kitchen Space
The kitchen needs to be planned carefully to allow the staff to be as efficient as possible and avoid accidents. Experts recommend that at least 30 percent of the space in your restaurant be allocated to kitchen space. Choose a layout that fits how you want your kitchen to run. This can be an assembly line layout, an island layout, or a zone layout.
Keep Restrooms in Mind
The restrooms in your restaurant should be accessible to customers but also kept separate from the dining area. Having a bathroom in close proximity while eating can be uncomfortable, so make sure to plan the space accordingly. They are often adjacent dining area, which can help when you are considering restroom placement.
A lot goes into designing a restaurant, but it can be done with ease as long as you keep these things in mind and take it one step at a time. Stay on top of things and you can see progress before you know it. Once the process is complete, you will have a restaurant that looks like it belongs on a television show.

It's advisable to unscrew the surface cowl of the desktop every six months and clear the mud out. It's best to use a lightweight vacuum or air canister to remove the dust.
Try constructing your personal computer. As a substitute of shopping for a computer prepared-comprised of an enormous firm, try building your personal computer.

Hey everyone, it's Doug again…back with some more photos from the same house we shared earlier this week. And I'll tell you a little secret–it happens to be the same house featured in the March issue of House Beautiful! Today we are taking a look at an upstairs hallway in the home, which connects a pair of bedrooms to the Kids Den and another pair of bedrooms beyond. We already showed you how we added two large Mallory Page works to the home's stairway to complete a blank wall that we'd always intended to showcase art. In the hallway we are looking at today, Paige and I already hung a big collage of white framed family photographs. Lately, we'd all been feeling that this space needed a little something more, so while Hannon and I were over at the house to install the big pieces in the stairway, we brought along a few other things to try in the hall.
By re-spacing the framed photos, we made room to add four more Mallory Page pieces to compliment those in the adjacent stairway. We also added two vintage frames from our Mountain Brook shop, which we'd had lacquered white and had added antiqued mirror to.
The soft color of Mallory's pieces blend well with the black and white scheme we'd already established in the hall, but at the same time they add just enough interest to keep the composition from being too flat. We love how this space turned out…a perfect gallery area for the family to enjoy.
Happy Friday everyone, have a great weekend. Thanks from all of us for all of your kind words, e-mails, facebook posts and blog posts about House Beautiful, we appreciate each and every kind word!

I came across this car commercial today that makes great use of optical illusions:
I think this connects with faith very well.
If you are viewing the world only from the intended perspective of a specific belief or line of thinking, everything will appear as it has been made to. This can apply to different belief systems, or even different ways to understand a particular system of belief.
This is why it is important to be open to looking in from different perspectives. Some things that you were certain were solid objects or ideas may actually fall flat when approached from a different angle.

A fracture of the femur shaft or femoral diaphyseal fracture consists in the break of the long tubular segment of the femur bone, between the hip and the knee joint.
A femoral shaft fracture is a serious condition needing immediate management in the Emergency Department, as it is often associated with other life-threatening injuries to the pelvis, hip, knee and head.
It requires high-energy impacts as often seen in road traffic accidents. Contrary to a hip fracture, a femoral shaft fracture is more common in the young population. In the elderly low energy forces are sufficient to cause a femoral shaft fracture due to reduced bone density. Osteoporosis and metastatic tumours can result in spontaneous or pathologic fractures.
Femoral shaft fractures are often associated to injuries of the hip (fracture/dislocation), pelvis and knee as well as compartment syndrome due to extreme soft tissue swelling and damage.
The fracture of the femoral shaft can display various patterns and complexities:
Transverse - horizontal break of the shaft
Oblique - angled break across the shaft
Spiral - line forming a circle around the shaft
Comminuted – bones breaks in 3 or more fragments
Displaced - bone extremities have lost alignment
Non-displaced - bone segments do not separate
Open or compound fracture - broken fragments protrude through the skin
Winquist and Hansen Classification
Type 0 - no comminution
Type I - minor comminution (transverse/ oblique fractures)
Type II - > 50% cortical intact
Type III - < 50% cortical intact
Type IV - Segmental fracture with no contact between proximal and distal fragment
OTA (Orthopaedic Trauma Association) Classification
23A Simple: A1 – Spiral; A2 Oblique > 30 degrees; A3 Transverse < 30 degrees
32B Wedge: B1 – Spiral; B2 - Bending wedge; B3 - Fragmented wedge
32C Complex: C1 – Spiral; C2 – Segmental; C3 - Irregular
In the young population a femoral shaft fracture arises from high-energy traumas such as road traffic accidents and falls from a significant height. In the older population low energy falls are the main cause of a femoral shaft fracture. A fall can be the result of medical conditions including limited vision, impaired balance, sudden drop in blood pressure and heart arrhythmia causing people to faint. A pathologic fracture is the consequence of osteoporosis or metabolic changes. This type of fractures does not require a traumatic impact or a fall to occur. The most frequent causes are:
High speed road traffic accidents (car/motorcycle drivers, passengers, pedestrians)
Falls from significant height (young people)
Sports (high-speed, contact sports with direct trauma, skiing, football, hockey)
Falls on hard surface (elderly)
Pathologic fractures (osteoporosis, primary tumours, metastases, metabolic bone conditions)
Stress fractures (intense sport training, abnormalities in bone integrity, metabolic dysfunctions)
Gun shot
Risk factors
The main risk factors for a femoral shaft fracture include:
Young age < 25, and elderly age > 65 years
Working at height (carpenters, electricians, builders, painters)
Frequent driving (car, motorcycle, high speed races)
Extreme recreational sport and activities
Falls in older people
Chronic medical conditions (hyper-/hypotension, stroke, heart arrhythmia, thyroid dysfunction, epilepsy)
Medications e.g. steroids weakening bone density and relaxants facilitating falls
The symptoms of a fractured femur shaft may be complex due to the possible association to other injuries. Immediately after occurring, this fracture triggers a sharp pain localised on the front, or backside of the thigh, occasionally radiating to the hip, buttock and the entire leg. The patient is unable to move the lower limb and may suffer from local numbness (nerve damage). Deformities of the thigh may also appear including partial rotation, and shortening, incorrect abduction/adduction of the affected limb. The patient may present changes in the soft tissue around the thigh including a bruise, swelling and open wounds (open fracture, gun shot).
Given the serious nature of a femoral shaft fracture the first diagnosis is normally executed at the Emergency Department. Stress fractures may be less evident and firstly diagnosed at the GP practice. The mechanisms of injury and symptoms are discussed with the examiner. The patient is subjected to a medical triage to determine the presence and severity of associated injuries to prioritise treatment strategies. Examination includes the palpation and inspection of the area, assessment of the range of movement, neurologic and vascular testing. Radiologic evaluation with X-ray on antero-posterior view, CT scan or MRI is taken to characterise the fracture type and the involvement of suspected collateral injuries. The orthopaedic surgeon will assess the images and opt for the best treatment suitable to the type of fracture in relation to the general condition of the patient. Bone mineral density is useful for the diagnosis of osteoporosis particularly for stress fractures in the elderly.
Nonoperative treatment
A non-displaced femoral shaft fracture is treated conservatively in most cases but requires a longer hospitalisation period particularly in patients with comorbidities. Nonoperative treatment increases the risk for bone displacement and requires frequent monitoring by X-ray to ensure correct healing. In more serious femoral shaft fractures, surgery is avoided only if the patient presents serious medical conditions. Early treatment includes:
Fluid replacement
Administration of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Long leg cast, protective splint or brace
Use of crutches
Continuous weighted traction device
Physical therapy
Surgical treatment
Surgical stabilisation of a femoral shaft fracture is achieved with various techniques. Such procedures are achieved at best within 24 hours from the accident and may follow an initial period of traction and ensure the patient's cardiovascular stability. Current surgical methods are:
Intramedullary nailing consists in the insertion of a long nail through the rimmed bone marrow canal of the femoral shaft, which is secured with screws on both ends. It allows early mobilisation and reduction of complications (incorrect fracture healing, fat/pulmonary embolism, thrombosis).
Intramedullary nailing is achieved with two approaches:
- Antegrade nailing is the preferred method in case of simple fractures. The nail is inserted through an incision at the femoral great trochanter
- Retrograde nailing is used in distal femoral shaft fractures. The nail is inserted at the distal tibial side below the patella
- ORIF (open reduction internal fixation) applies long plates and screws fixed onto the fracture of the shaft following initial open reduction to realign the bone fragments. It is indicated in large, complex and / or open fractures extending to the hip or the knee joints.
External fixation in case of haemodynamic instability, or severe multi-traumas is the option when complete fixation surgery poses risks to the patient. With patient improvement the orthopaedic surgeon can proceed to final surgical fixation.
Complications that may occur following a proximal femur fracture include:
Local infection in open fractures - requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment
Acute compartment syndrome – increased pressure of the soft tissues around the fracture potentially blocking blood flow and causing tissue necrosis (death)
Blood loss (pudental or femoral artery injury) - can occur during or after surgery. Rarely, a blood transfusion is needed
Fracture non-union and delayed union - occurs when the fracture does not heal completely or heals slowly
Iatrogenic fractures - occurring during surgery e.g. nailing
Malalignment - the healed femur parts are not aligned correctly
Reactive irritation of soft tissue to metal hardware
Heterotopic ossification – bone growth distant from the fracture site
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism – thrombosis mostly occurs in the deep veins of the lower limbs due to prolonged immobility. Such thrombi can dislodge and cause a life threatening pulmonary embolism. Patients are given prophylactic medications (warfarin, aspirin)
Pressure ulcers - due to extended immobilisation and the fragile skin in the elderly
Pneumonia - used to be the main cause of death in older patient that were immobilised for several weeks. Nowadays aged patients are mobilised soon after surgery to prevent such complications
Patients with a healing femur shaft fractures begin rehabilitation through gradual and assisted physiotherapy to restore muscle strength, hip flexibility and prevent medical complications. This phase may require the patient to be admitted to a cared facility or receive regular in-home visits by a physiotherapist. Crutches, walking stick, or a walker may be necessary to support the patient during the first weeks up to 12 months after a femoral shaft fracture. Physiotherapy during the first 6-12 weeks post-surgery include:
Ice/heat treatment
Anti-inflammatory therapy (NSAIDs)
Exercise to strengthen quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteal muscles
Joint mobilisation
Guided return to activity
Weight loss in overweighed patients
A fracture to the femoral shaft can be prevented when risk factors are identified. It is critical to avoid falls and reduce the exposure to high velocity sports and recreational activities as well as adhere to safety rules. In osteoporotic patients it is recommended to administer the bisphosphonate group of drugs with supplements of calcium and vitamin D. Other preventive measures include:
Exercise and maintenance of muscular strength in the elderly (walking, swimming)
Use of supporting walking devices in the elderly
Removal of carpets or other items facilitating falls
Modify habits (laced shoes, illuminate house at night, install railings, non-skid tiles in bathroom)
Adherence to occupational health and safety procedures and road traffic safety equipment (use of seatbelts, harness, balustrades)
Improve incorrect training techniques, footwear
Weight control with diet
Monitoring of chronic diseases and pharmacological use (blood pressure medications)
Quit smoking (impairs bone healing)

A thousand bells in a thousand loony church towers are ringing:
Top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh, upset that he's forced to report his every movement to tax authorities, blasted President Obama for failing to prove he is natural-born citizen of the United States..."Barack Obama has yet to have to prove that he's a citizen. All he has to do is show a birth certificate. He has yet to have to prove he's a citizen. I have to show them 14 different ways where the h--- I am every day of the year for three years."
This may seem like the perfect moment for some sort of Told ya they're all crazy! liberal back-slapping. Awesome, the pill-popping, thrice-divorced, presumptive leader of the Republican party is one of them! But mostly this just makes me sad.
I had coffee with Bill Phillips, Bill Purcell's former deputy mayor, and he went out of his way to explain to me (a 26-year-old whom he, probably correctly, assumed had a warped view of conservatives) that he was one of those "good Republicans," not the crazies who seem to be running the show these days.
Phillips, it goes without saying, is a smart guy. And eminently reasonable. But because of people like Rep. Marsha Blackburn and the C Street Gang and Limbaugh, Phillips now feels it necessary to qualify his political affiliation. Beliefs that, I'm assuming here, have been shaped and formed by decades of experience in politics and civic life now require a preface because a bunch of assholes think the majority of this country unknowingly voted a Kenyan into the White House.
Maybe that's good for a certain number of Democrats in the short-term. But I don't think it's a stretch to say that this birther movement, now seemingly strengthened by the support of "Paris Hilton without the sex videos," is bad for everyone in the long haul.

Part B: Mineral Rights - Part B-3: Large Scale Exploitation - 26. Large Scale Exploitation Licensing | 26.10 Suspension of Licence
Suspension of a licence may be a temporary sanction against a licence holder or a de facto extension of the licence term due to a force majeure event preventing the holder from conducting operations.
A distinction should be made between suspension of a mineral licence, on the one hand, and suspensions of operations, on the other hand. When the mineral licence is suspended, the rights of the holder of that licence, as well as the term, are suspended; and this may, depending on the nature of the breach, complicate the remediation of the breach that the suspension requires ( e.g., if the breach relates to operations on the mine). It also raises collateral issues to be addressed such as whether and on what conditions a third party application for the area that is subject to the suspended licence can be submitted or accepted. The suspension of operations, on the other hand, prohibits the mineral activity under the licence but does not alter the holder's right to occupy the licenced area and undertake whatever is necessary in order to remedy the breach of an obligation; and the term of the licence continues to run. There are instances in which it is appropriate to suspend the mineral licence with an allowance for solely carrying out the activities necessary to remediate the breach. A mining law should also, where appropriate, address rules that apply to regulate the suspension of the licence or operations at the request of the licence holder.
In all cases, suspension provisions should clearly state the consequences of suspension and the procedure for the lifting of the suspension.
26.10. Example 1:
Article [_]. Suspension of Mineral Exploitation Rights
(1) Subject to sub-articles (2) and (3) of this Article, the [Regulating Authority] may suspend mineral exploitation rights partially or fully where it believes that the activity of the Licensee is likely to become an imminent danger to the local community, the environment or its employees, provided that such suspension is the only remedy under the prevailing circumstances. The [Regulating Authority] shall inform the licensee the date by which the suspension lapses and it may resume operation.
(2) Before acting under sub-article (1) of this Article, the [Regulating Authority] shall give notice in writing to the Licensee :
a) setting out the grounds for considering the suspension of the licence;
b) directing the licensee to take specified measures to remedy any contravention, breach or failure; and
c) specifying a reasonable date of not less than 5 working days, before which the licensee may, in writing, submit any matter for the [Regulating Authority] to consider.
(3) The [Regulating Authority] may lift the notice for suspension of a mineral right where :
a)the licensee complies with the notice contemplated in sub-article 2(b) of this Article by rectifying, removing, or as appropriate by mitigating the grounds for suspension, or by preventing the recurrence of such grounds within the time specified in the notice; or
b) where it accepts the reasons supplied by the licensee in accordance with sub-article 2(c) of this Article for the lifting of the suspension.
Drawn from Ethiopia's mining law (2010), this example provides for the Regulating Authority to suspend mining operations of a licence holder in cases where continued operation "is likely to become an imminent danger." The provision requires prior written notice to the licence holder specifying the reasons for the suspension, the measures to be taken, and a prompt opportunity to be heard in opposition. The example also stipulates the grounds for the lifting of the suspension.
This example is geared to the prevention of harm rather than the sanctioning of any violations. It provides due process safeguards for the rights of the licence holder.
26.10. Example 2:
Article[_]: Suspension of production
(1) The holder of a mining lease shall notify the [Regulating Authority] three months in advance where the holder proposes to suspend production from the mine and shall in each case, give reasons for the suspension.
(2) Where the holder is unable to give the required notice as provided under subsection (1) for reasons beyond the holder's control including, without limitation, market conditions and the holder suspends production from a mine, the holder shall, within fourteen day of the suspension notify the [Regulating Authority].
(3) The suspension of production shall not exceed twelve months and the holder may apply in writing to the [Regulating Authority] for extension for a period not exceeding twelve months.
(4) On receiving the notification under subsection (1) or on the [Regulating Authority] becoming aware of a suspension of production, the [Regulating Authority] shall cause the matter to be investigated and shall, subject to any relevant requirement contained in the mining lease -
(a) give approval for the suspension, or
(b) direct the holder of the mining lease to resume full production at the mine by a specified date.
(5) Approval of suspension may be given subject to conditions that the [Regulating Authority] may on the advice of the [Commission] determine.
Article [ ]: Suspension of a mineral right
(1) The [Regulating Authority] on the recommendation of the [Advisory Body] may suspend or cancel a mineral right if the holder,
(a) fails to make payment on the due date, whether due to the Republic or another person, required by or under this [Act][Code][Law],
(b) becomes insolvent or bankrupt, enters into an agreement or scheme of composition with the holder's creditors, or takes advantage of an enactment for the benefit of its debtors or goes into liquidation, except as part of a scheme for an arrangement or amalgamation,
(c) makes a statement to the [Regulating Authority] in connection with the mineral right which the holder knows or ought to have known to be materially false, or
(d) for a reason, becomes ineligible to apply for a mineral right under this [Act][Code][Law].
(2) The [Regulating Authority] shall, before suspending or cancelling a mineral right under subsection (1), give notice to the holder and shall in the notice, require the holder to remedy a breach of the condition of the mineral right within a reasonable period, being not less than one hundred and twenty days in the case of a mining lease or restricted mining lease or sixty days in the case of another mineral right and what the breach cannot be remedied, to show cause to the reasonable satisfaction of the [Regulating Authority] why the mineral right should not be suspended or cancelled.
(3) On cancellation of a mineral right under this section, the right of the holder shall cease but without prejudice to the liabilities or obligations incurred by another person in relation to the mineral right prior to the date of the cancellation.
Article [_]: Suspension or cancellation of mining lease
(1) Without limiting the scope of the preceding section, the [Regulating Authority] may on the recommendation of the [Advisory Body] suspend or cancel a mining lease if the holder has failed other than for good cause, for a period of two years or more, to carry out any or a material part of the holder's programme or mineral operations.
(2) The [Regulating Authority] shall before suspending or cancelling a mining lease give notice to the holder and shall in the notice, require the holder to remedy the breach within a reasonable period, being not less than one hundred and twenty days, and where the breach cannot be remedied, to show cause to the reasonable satisfaction of the [Regulating Authority] why the mining lease or restricted mining lease should not be suspended or cancelled.
(3) A dispute between the [Regulating Authority] and a holder of mining lease in respect of a matter arising under subsection (2) shall be referred for resolution under section [_] (on dispute resolution).
Drawn from Ghana's mining law (2006), this example includes provisions for both a voluntary suspension of production by the licence holder and the mandatory suspension of the licence by the Regulating Authority.
The first section in the example requires the licence holder to give prior notice of any suspension of production to the Regulating Authority, which will investigate the causes of the suspension of production and either approve or require resumption of full production by a certain date. Voluntary suspensions are limited to a duration of 12 months, which may possibly be extended for another 12 months. The Regulating Authority may attach conditions to its approval of a suspension.
This provision only applies in the case of regimes that require the licensee to operate at a certain level of production, which some countries require in order to assure a revenue stream from the exploitation of the mineral resource, rather than allowing the licence holder to operate freely based solely on corporate strategy. The example recognizes that market conditions or other factors beyond the licence holder's control may require a suspension of production at times.
The second and third sections in the example set out the grounds and procedures for mandatory suspensions or cancellations of all mineral rights and mining leases (i.e., large scale exploitation licences), respectively. Those sections give the Regulating Authority the latitude to decide whether to impose a suspension of the licence or to cancel the licence in any particular circumstance. Ideally, where a failure of compliance can be corrected by the licence holder, temporary suspension should be the sanction rather than cancellation. The implementing regulations should clarify in what circumstances suspension will be imposed and in which circumstances an exploitation licence will be cancelled. There is also a need to clarify in the regulations the procedure for lifting a suspension of the licence.

On Friday, Investor's Business Daily posted an editorial about the impact of the Dodd-Frank Bill on the growth of small businesses in America.
The editorial reports:
A new study released by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the quasi-private think tank that serves as the referee for deciding U.S. upturns and downturns, shows the damage done by Dodd-Frank to small businesses was severe.
The study, "The Impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on Small Business," by economists Michael D. Bordo and John V. Duca, goes a long way toward explaining why GDP growth under Obama was a mere 2%, a full third slower than the long-term average.
It's based on a long-term and well-known dynamic. Small businesses grow faster than large ones, and account for over two-thirds of all U.S. jobs growth. Dodd-Frank's damage was substantial and persistent.
The editorial explains how the regulations impacted small businesses:
Dodd-Frank made making loans to large companies far more attractive. They did so by new compliance rules that treated small and startup loans as inherently more risky than big-business loans.
In economic terms, Dodd-Frank increased the fixed cost of making a loan to smaller companies. So banks simply stopped lending to them. Overnight, businesses that once had lines of credit lost them. Many closed. Startups could get nothing.
This may sound like a wonky debate, but it isn't. Dodd-Frank's destructive lending restrictions destroyed millions of jobs and kept entrepreneurs from creating thousands and thousands of new, wonderful businesses.
And it also explains why, with a few deft strokes of his presidential pen, cutting both regulations and taxes sharply, President Trump has been able to offset Dodd-Frank's growth-killing rules and restored 3% growth to the economy.
The cutting of regulations and the tax cuts created the economic atmosphere that has resulted in stunning economic growth in the past year. Now if the Federal Reserve will be very careful as it raises interest rates to reasonable levels, we should be able to come out of the slump we were in during the Obama administration smoothly.

Today's oracle reading comes from Kyle Gray's Keepers of the Light deck.
The card that comes to us is: Mother Mary: Love and Peace
According to Kyle, the meaning of this card is:
"It is time to let go of conflict or the need to be right. The more you fight for the point you want to prove, the unhappier you will be. Pointing out the mistakes or mishaps of others just blocks the road to love in your own life. Mary, the divine mother of acceptance, is with you now, encouraging you to forgive. Forgiveness is not about letting anyone get away with their bad choices but about choosing to create your own happiness. Mother Mary also brings healing to you and your mother. If you miss her, are out of contact with her or have an old trauma that needs healing, know that Mary's miraculous light is here now to wash away the darkness.
Personal Meaning:
Mother Mary comes to me today to ask me to let go of the frustration and need to control that I carry towards my brother. Our mother is watching over him and keeping him safe and I don't need to worry so much. She's asking me to feel more compassion for him and less judgement.
What message does Mother Mary have for you today?
Have a peaceful and loving week!

Financial Aid
At Garrett College, we have made applying for financial aid easy. All it takes is one form -- the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA allows the Department of Education to determine how much your family can be expected to contribute to your educational expenses. When you apply for financial aid, the amount you are awarded is based on the difference between the cost of attending Garrett and this expected contribution.
Complete the FAFSA. You can fill out the application online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Enter Garrett's school code (010014) on your FAFSA so that we will receive your information as soon as it is processed.
Submit your FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1 and by March 1st deadline for Maryland Grant money. (If you do not have a MDCAPS account sign up for one https://mdcaps.mhec.state.md.us.
If you qualify for Maryland aid, you will receive an email from MDCAPS to go to their website and accept your award. Turn spam blockers off to ensure receipt of email. Maryland residents may obtain a MDCAPS logon to view and accept awards. https://mdcaps.mhec.state.md.us.

During a session on fuel cost mitigation at the National Private Truck Council meeting earlier this year, two private fleets talked about how focusing on driver habits has paid off.
Coach in the cab
Upstate Niagara Cooperative is a food and beverage co-op owned by about 400 dairy farmers in western New York State. They run a well-maintained fleet of 121 vehicles, with two milk plants, a cultured products plant, and four distribution centers.
Ed Porter, director of transportation, said driver behavior can make a huge difference in fuel economy.
"The big thing is drivers, we're not in the cab with them every day," he said, explaining that idle time, shifting patterns, gear selection, speeding, and cruise control are all factors. The same kind of driver behavior that wastes fuel, also creates a ripple effect in operations, with increased likelihood of breakdowns and accidents.
"Our approach has been trying to work with the drivers, coaching them while they're in the cab," Porter said. "We installed intelligent telematics technology; we're working on coaching them before they go out on their route and when they come back." They use classroom training, in-cab coaching, and target retraining of poor performers.
A big focus is getting drivers to shift more in the sweet spot. He showed a chart of data from 10 trucks from the first three months of telematics system. One truck had a good idling score, but the driver was wasting fuel by running in the 1,700-1,800 rpm range. "In 9th gear at 1,500 rpm he easily could have shifted then, and gotten better fuel economy all the way through," Porter said.
But it's not easy to change that behavior, he admitted. "The older drivers were all trained that you wind it out in every gear."
The in-cab telematics unit the co-op is using gives the driver an audio tone when he's over-revving. Other than that, the screen is blank until the truck is stopped. At that point, the screen comes on and the driver can see his shift ranges and fuel economy.
"He can see what his supervisor is seeing and have a better idea what he's going to hear when he gets back in," Porter said.
Seven out of the 10 trucks tested saw marked improvement after the first three months. "We're not where we need to be yet, but we are seeing an improvement," Porter said.
The pre-coaching average was 5.81 mpg, the post-coaching average 6.10 mpg. They've calculated the payback on the telematics system to be six to eight months.
Training, training
Aquatic Trucking Co. makes bathtubs and showers, with six manufacturing locations and fleet locations nationwide. It is seeing fuel mileage in the 6.8-7.1 mpg range in its fleet of 108 Freightliner Century Class tractors running in mostly over-the-road operations.
"The reason for that is driver training," said James Pysher, transportation equipment and compliance manager. "It doesn't matter how you spec a vehicle, it doesn't matter if you add an APU - if the drivers aren't trained correctly and you can't have their buy-in, you're not going to get anywhere."
Aquatic brings engine builders and representatives from Penske to do regular driver training. At each location, drivers also participate in a training program where they ride with a driver trainer, not only when they're hired but also throughout their employment. They do post-accident ride alongs as well. "Any time those drivers can be with a trainer, we take that opportunity."
They train on throttle use, shifting patterns (although the company has moved largely to automatic and automated transmissions), use of cruise control, idling habits, and proper use of auxiliary power units.
"Drivers are habitual by nature," Pysher said. "Most of us have drivers on the road that have been doing this a long time. If you can break the bad habits, like always wanting to put the hammer down, and create positive driving habits, we will see the benefits in fuel cost savings. They say it takes 21 days to break a habit, but if they really want to do it we've found it's faster than that."
Aquatic also publicly posts several reports for the drivers to see, such as mpg, idle time and cruise control settings for each and every driver.
"When they started seeing their buddy's information, it drives that competitive nature. They don't want their buddy to have one over on them."
It's also important to show drivers what they save by using those positive habits. If they average 80,000 miles a year, he said, every 1/4 mpg represents roughly $1,650 a year at $4 a gallon. "Drivers understand dollars."

The deal with init system is ugly. System experiences a hard(unrecoverable freeze) soon after being booted(5-20 seconds), probably due to some delayed service startup.

There are multiple CPU-related issues, which if left unaddress may turn one's computing into a hell-like experience.
A single major CPU issue are the hard freezes, common to many bay-trail devices . A simple solution to the problem is to add "max_cstate=1" option to the kernel parameters.

Audio driver is not in the mainline yet, and I had no way of testing whether it is even going to work. It's a rather unpopular laptop, and I don't see how this is going to change. However, you are welcome to contribute to this article if you know of any regular bay-trail audio drivers. I suggest using a USB soundcard.
The on-board graphics uses the Intel driver. Install xf86-video-intel. Xorg will only start with the following syntax:
startx -- <other flags>
Such as
startx -- -keeptty
Aside from that, there are no out-of-the-ordinary configuration steps. Consult Xorg and Intel for more information.
The webcam is not supported and there is not even a driver for it.
Wireless is provided by r8723bs SDIO driver. Rather unstable, but it is still usable. See #See also
A nightmare. It's a mono-pad, that has no buttons on it, but that's not the main issue. The big thing about the touchpad is that it is generating random characters when you tap at it's edges. Another issue - it's not a Synaptic, so it doesn't benefit from any of the synaptic-related settings. The driver comes from the xf86-input-libinput package.
