text:
On 12th October 1769, sailing south in the Endeavour, Captain James Cook first viewed an island off the tip of Mahia Peninsula which measured some three kilometres in length. He named it Portland Island “on account of its very great resemblance to Portland in the English Channel“.
What Cook didn’t know was the island already had a name – Waikawa (meaning ‘Sour Water’) or that the island had been settled for over 600 years. Moreover, the great waka Tākitimu had landed there and it was the home to an important centre of learning, a whare wānanga, called Ngāheru-mai-tawhiti. The island had an active settlement and traded in fish and shellfish when it became the site of one of the first whaling stations in New Zealand, a lighthouse station, a sheep farm and even today, a conservation refuge for the endangered shore plovers.
Portland in Dorset, by contrast, is an ‘almost island’, a huge block of limestone joined to the mainland by a long shingle spit called Chesil beach. It was famed for the source of Portland Stone, used by Sir Christopher Wrenn to build St Paul’s Cathedral and was mentioned by various writers including Thomas Hardy and in fictional and factual accounts of smuggling (Moonfleet being the best known of the novels). Apart from the comparisons in shape (although they are similar, Portland Bill is significantly larger, being six kilometres long and two to three kilometres wide), both are largely outliers, places of isolation and confinement that by their very remoteness have been described as stark and and barren, and, over their history, vaguely threatening, especially to shipping.
Today Portland Island is unpopulated although at one stage it had several houses and even boasted a school for the fourteen children of the families who worked there. Many family trees, Maori and Pakeha can trace links with Portland island and one example being that of the assistant keeper, Nicholas Sciascia who, in 1898, was gored to death by a bull, yet can lay claim over two thousand descendants from his eleven children). Portland Isle, by contrast has a population of more than twelve and a half thousand and remains a busy and active community with its quarries and harbour. In many ways, the two places linked only tenuously by Captain Cook, have very little in common. And yet . . . .
Both Portland Island and Portland Bill have been the scenes of numerous shipwrecks. While the history of lighthouses on Portland Bill dates from 1716 when the two early lighthouses were erected, the lighthouse on Portland Island wasn’t built in 1875
The original lighthouses on Portland Bill, first built in 1716 and rebuilt in 1869.
After it shut down (and eventually moved to Wairoa in 1960 where it has pride of place beside the bridge), its place is now taken by a rather automated lighting system built in 1984 and housed in an ordinary white square metal lattice tower (and now called a light rather than a lighthouse). Yet despite the lighthouses, shipwrecks continued to bedevil both coastlines.
The current light on Portland Island
The current lighthouse on Portland Bill, built in 1906 and the historic Portland Island lighthouse, now a distinctive feature of Wairoa’s riverfront.
There was one shipwreck whose story is particularly poignant. In September 1877, the sailing ship ‘Avalanche’ set sail to New Zealand where, in heavy seas off the Bill of Portland, it collided with another ship, ‘Forest’ with disastrous consequences.
All sixty three passengers on board were drowned, but what made the disaster poignant for New Zealanders also was that most of the passengers were New Zealand colonists returning to their families along with some new emigrants travelling to settle out there. Wanganui suffered worst with twenty two from the town losing their lives – a huge blow to the settlement whose population at the time wouldn’t have numbered more than a few thousand. A memorial still stands outside St Paul’s Church in Wanganui to those who lost their lives while on Portland Bill, a new Church, the St Andrew’s Avalanche Memorial Church was built to commemorate the dead. The Mayor of Wanganui William Watt (who has his own memorial in the centre of the city) donated a memorial window to the Portland Bill church and also bequeathed the land for an orphanage in memory of his daughter who was one of those lost in the disaster. For those who live in Wanganui, the Margaret Watt Children’s Home, first opened in 1931 is still remembered as an important charity in the town. It ho continued operating until its closure some twenty years ago (although the Margaret Watt Children’s Trust still continues).
So what does all this mean? Here I shift from being a historian to being a participant. Portland island has always been a part of my landscape from when I first saw it, probably aged five. Although I have never a put foot on it, the island is inextricably linked to Mahia where I spent so many summers in my youth and its presence, as a disconnected part of a familiar world, remains fused in my memory.
Since I moved to England more than two decades ago, with Portland Bill no more than an hour away, the nameplace has served as an evocative reminder of that time and place ‘back home.’ Different in almost every regard, apart from the bleakness that comes with isolation, it is joined by the glue of that one tragic shipwreck to the people of Wanganui, where I spent eight years of my life. It is strange how when we look, we can find connections for places and events and that memory find the parts that draw the story together.
I think of Portland Island now, windswept, under the flightpath of rocketlab, whose rockets are launched into space off the tip of Mahia, and the coursing and unreasonable sea as winter settles in for another stay. And of Portland Bill, where I went only last week, viewing the old fortifications, the setting of Thomas Hardy’s novel, ‘The Well-Beloved’ and visiting St Andrews Avalanche Memorial Church and thinking of shipwrecks, of early explorers, and of the different histories of place, Maori and Pakeha, and feeling every one of the twelve thousand miles that links my two homes.

At a Glance
- The storm dumped heavy rain on Haiti Monday night and into Tuesday.
- There were reports of flooding in some of the areas hardest hit by the earthquake.
- The quake killed more than 1,900 people.
Heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Grace is adding to the misery in Haiti, where earthquake victims are sleeping outside in unbearable conditions while they try to recover anything they can from the rubble of what once was their homes.
"Last night, I saw strong winds and heavy rainfall strike the same areas already affected by the earthquake," Bruno Maes, the representative for UNICEF in Haiti, said in a news release Tuesday. "Countless Haitian families who have lost everything due to the earthquake are now living literally with their feet in the water due to the flooding."
Maes is in the hard-hit city of Les Cayes, where thousands of homes were flattened when the 7.2 magnitude quake struck Saturday. Between 300 and 600 people are reported to have died in Les Cayes, and the city is also reported to have received the brunt of Grace's impacts on Haiti.
"The hospital is in a bad place with water filling the yard," Sterens Yppolyte, a 26-year-old trainee doctor at the city's Immaculate Conception hospital, told the Guardian Monday night. "People are crying for help, for tents, for shelter and for a message of hope."
Grace strengthened from a tropical depression to a tropical storm as it passed south of Haiti Monday night and into Tuesday morning. It's now headed for Mexico.
(MORE: The Latest Forecast for Grace)
The storm was forecast to dump 5 to 10 inches of rain as it passed Haiti, with as much as 15 inches possible locally. Weather data isn't regularly available from Haiti even in the best of times, but early satellite reports indicated more than 5 inches fell in some areas.
"Haiti has some mountainous territory and any time you get heavy rain over that terrain, there will be a risk for landslides," weather.com meteorologist Orelon Sidney said Tuesday morning.
There were also fears the rain could further destabilize damaged buildings and sideline search and rescue crews.
The official death toll from the earthquake rose to more than 1,900 Tuesday, according to Haiti's Civil Protection Agency. More than 9,900 people have been injured. Some communities were left almost entirely in ruin.
In one bright spot, the country's Civil Protection Agency said 16 people had been pulled alive from the wreckage of a building in the Brefet neighborhood of Les Cayes Tuesday morning. Nine bodies were also recovered from the building.
Haiti has a long history of natural disasters, made worse by poverty, political instability and lack of infrastructure.
A report issued Monday by the National Human Rights Defense Network indicated that the country's government was struggling to aid earthquake victims, according to the Miami Herald.
"They are completely on their own," the report said. "Some are already starting to make personal efforts to find tents to shelter from the weather and provide for their daily needs. Hospitals and health centers are sorely short of human and material resources and the injured are desperately waiting for the care they deserve."
On Tuesday, the Civil Protection Agency posted maps showing where the worst damage is concentrated and where the most deaths and injuries occurred.
The damage map shows two regions with more than 3,500 homes destroyed in each, and several with between 2,500 and 3,500. An estimated 30,000 people have been left homeless.
UNICEF estimates that more than 1.5 million people were affected by the earthquake, including more than 500,000 children.
Marjorie Modesty, a psychologist who lives in Les Cayes and is helping coordinate aid deliveries, said her home was flooded Monday night.
Modesty described a scene of desperation.
"This is what the country needs: tents, food, medicine, toiletries, water, clothes, rescue equipment and wheelchairs," she told the Guardian. "People are fleeing their houses. We need rescuing."

This book presents interdisciplinary research to examine the ongoing debates around nonhuman animals in urban spaces. It explores how we can better appreciate and accommodate animals in the city, while also exploring the ecological, health, ethical, and cultural implications of the same.
The book addresses seven interrelated themes such as blurred boundaries between the human and the nonhuman, the right of nonhuman species to the city, interactions between the human and nonhuman animals, the fabric of urban space, human and nonhuman complex systems, and collective welfare that forms the basis of a transspecies urban theory. It explains how a holistic understanding of the city requires that these blurred boundaries are acknowledged and critically examined. Chapters analytically consider the need to bring interspecies relationships to the fore to tackle questions of legitimacy and who has the "right" to the city. These also consider important intersections between the economic, political, social, and cultural aspects of the urban experience. The research contained in this book focuses on the development of an urban theory that would eradicate the divide between humans and other species in cities, and it depicts nonhuman animals as social actors that have voices within urban spaces.
With global insights on human–animal relationships in a contemporary context, this book will be useful reading for scholars and students of urban studies, animal sciences, animal law, animals and public policy, anthropology, and environmental studies who are interested in the study of animals in cities.

24 March 2022
DULUTH — Seven members who formed the city-sponsored Duluth African Heritage Commission came together for the first time in the fall of 2020 to brainstorm ideas about creating a community space, recruiting Black teachers and professionals and advocating for implicit bias training within the community.
Their optimism faded fast. Just one original member remains after a mass resignation of commissioners at the end of 2021. Some wrote letters to Mayor Emily Larson expressing frustration at the lack of resources, funding consistency and support.
“It didn’t set us up to be empowered with anything,” former commissioner John Staine said.
Meeting minutes show the month-to-month frustrations of group members. The city never specifically fulfilled one of the commission’s earliest requests for a press release announcing that the commission had started meeting with short biographies of its members. Four months later, the city announced the group had created its purpose statement.
“We wanted folks from the community to come to our meetings and ask questions, offer complaints and feedback,” Staine said. “How can we shape and form what Duluth looks like for the African heritage community?”
In its description, the commission was created to guide policy and planning and to ensure the African Heritage community was represented. Staine, as chairman of the commission, said he felt out of the loop on city projects.
Commissioners wrote a statement following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building with the intent that city administrators would send it out — another opportunity to be introduced to the community. In April, group members were described in meeting notes as “perplexed” that it had never been released. The issue was a result of a miscommunication between the city staff and commissioners, according to public information officer Kate Van Daele.
Former commissioner Verna Thornton said there was no training for the new role. Commissioners didn’t know how to move forward with ideas. Outside attendees who seemingly wanted “a rubber stamp from the African Heritage Commission on their plans” ate up meeting time, she said. There were some attendance issues that made it hard to have a quorum at times.
“Nobody told us we need to go out and meet with X, Y, and Z to fund projects,” Thornton said. “No one told us, ‘If you want to publish in the local press, here are the contact people.’ That wasn’t done. No one said ‘OK, you’re trying to make life better, here are the movers and shakers and kingpins you might want to sit down with and let them know who you are.’ “
Duluth’s first African-American City Council member, Janet Kennedy,initiated the group’s formation and was a go-to for frustrated commissioners. In mid-November 2021, Kennedy emailed a bullet-point list of ideas — including creating a plan for meeting structure, understanding the scope of the group’s influence and meeting with other African-American commissions for input.
“Here are some suggestions,” Kennedy wrote. “Take some time to learn your role, how to use your role as an advisory commission. You are currently not on good footing and much of that depends on each one of you as individuals and collectively.”
Kennedy suggested commissioners step down if they were feeling frustrated.
In an email sent to city officials around the same time, Kennedy said she wanted to get the African Heritage Commission on the right path. She solicited the help of her colleagues on the council.
“I’m proposing that we come together with commissioners and share our experiences and roles we play, as well as give them some onboarding tools for success,” she wrote.
In a follow up email, Kennedy said she was frustrated by the lack of response from city officials beyond councilors Gary Anderson and Arik Forsman. She took ownership of some miscommunications with the commission, but, “I respectfully state that I really needed city staff to do their part to have affected a more positive outcome with the AH Commission,” she wrote.
Three commissioners, including Thornton and Staine, submitted resignation letters soon after.
Kennedy made a statement in Thursday’s City Council agenda-setting session reminding colleagues that the African Heritage Commission was created after a unanimous vote by the council, but ultimately commissioners were put in a position to feel unsupported.
“It was all of our charge to make sure this worked well,” she said. “It was the city’s charge to make sure it worked well.
Duluth has more than 30 boards and commissions covering topics including arts, heritage, human rights, parking, parks and energy. The Indigenous Commission, which has 11 seats, was formed in 2002 and the Duluth Nonbinary, Queer, Trans, Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Intersex & Asexual Commission is among the newest. Both serve advisory roles similar to the visions for the African Heritage Commission.
“My hope is always for people to feel seen and heard and it is for people to feel that who they are and how they identify matters as we’re shaping the city,” Larson said. “That’s important to me.”
A takeaway, according to Larson: additional commissions require additional city staff.
Ben VanTassel, director of administrative services, said the city plans to recruit people for the next iteration of the African Heritage Commission starting in April, including an open house to answer questions.
Thornton said she is interested to see who will step forward and join the commission “and hold the city accountable,” she said. “I wish them well.”

Well, I simply adore the supremely and sweetly cute and delightful accompanying illustrations. They are tenderly caressing and evocative, and in my opinion, they actually tell the story of frog and toad's friendship in a way that the rather simplistic narrative just does not and cannot. And yes, I also do well know that Arnold Lobel’s Frog and Toad Are Friends is considered to be a classic of American children's literature and that for many, the book likely also holds very fond and nostalgic childhood memories.
However, I have always found Arnold Lobel's presented text rather annoyingly dragging (both when I first read Frog and Toad Are Friends as a child, and when I recently reread the book for a group discussion in the Children's Literature Group's Picture Book Club). Therefore, and personally, I do think that while the narrative does manage to more than adequately show the deep friendship between frog and toad, the accompanying illustrations are actually so so much more evocative and expressive of that comradeship and certainly considerably more fun and engaging (for honestly, I was actually getting more than a bit annoyed at the many textual repetitions and at times really just wanted the stories to be over and done with). But that being said, I would still and strongly recommend Frog and Toad Are Friends as both a read-aloud and for independent first reading activities, but I truly (and very much in my opinion) cannot really see all that much in Arnold Lobel’s content and the style that is really magical or all that exciting (and in fact, I do think that forbfor me, Frog and Toad Are Friends would probably work much better as a wordless picture book).
But I do have one small (and likely revealing and important) confession to make. The very first time I read Frog and Toad Are Friends was in 1976. I was ten years old, and we had just immigrated to Canada from Germany. It was given to me as an in-class ESL reading assignment, and I felt annoyed and embarrassed that I, a grade four student, who had been reading rather lengthy German children's books for more than two years (since grade two), was suddenly placed in a position of having to read books originally conceived for much younger children (due to my lack of English). And yes, I have always wondered if that feeling of childhood embarrassment might have contributed to my rather lukewarm reaction to Frog and Toad Are Friends. However, even now, as an adult, I simply cannot get myself to really, really enjoy Arnold Lobel's writing, his text (of course, I now no longer feel that sense of embarrassment and I truly am able to appreciate the marvellous, wonderful illustrations, but the narrative of Frog and Toad Are Friends continues to feel at best a trifle ho-hum and monotonous to me).


Every toilet needs to be flushed and during these times, it is best to be eco-friendly with some water saving flush valves. Automatic flush valves can come as a full plumbing fixture or a retrofit kit onto an existing valve. Flushometers can save money and help prevent vandalism compared to manual flush valve handles. Automatic flush valves are sensor activated which means no touching needed to flush the toilet or urinal.
Toilet Partitions & Bathroom Stalls
Commercial restrooms are often public which means they need the added privacy of toilet partitions.
Buy XLERATOR Hand Dryers
Keep your commercial restroom ADA compliant with an XLERATOR hand dryer and recess kit combo. As a result, cost savings are 95% vs paper towels meaning more annual profit.


After speaking with other Adafruit fans I decided to purchase an Adafruit Pi Box. But since I don’t like waiting for stuff to arrive, I decided to build my own enclosure out of Legos.
It works as expected though like most of my Lego creations, there’s a little jiggle room. I might fix that with some silicone dots.
Here, I was testing out the enclosure by plugging stuff to it’s multiple ports, watching for any stress on the board.
Here you can see the composite and audio jacks on the left, GPIO vents on the right.
Here you can see the HDMI port.
Now the SD Card slot and the OTG.
Finally the RJ45 ethernet port and the two USB ports.
Easy access to the GPIO pins, jumper wires can go out through the little vents on the side, there is no need to leave the top off (unless I decide to use ribbon cable for some reason).
- It’s solid and flexible.
- It was cheap, very cheap.
- It’s reusable.
- I can’t leave it on the floor, since I’m sure to step on it on my way to the bathroom at night.
The question is, should I build one for my Arduino?

I’ve been shopping around for a new control bar lately which got me thinking, why not bring all there is to know about kite control sticks into one post? It’s not rocket science but there are still things to consider, so here’s a guide to a 4-line control bar and the industry standard safety alternatives. All brands have their own take on design and functionality, but generally they all work as the one pictured below.
1. Back lines/steering lines
The steering lines go to the rear ends of the kite. Some old safety systems flag out on one of these using the so-called Oshit handle.
2. Front lines
Attached to the bridles of the kite (for SLE kites). Most 4-line safety systems will flag out on one or both of these.
The swivel is able to rotate so that the front lines can untwist automatically after kite loops, backrolls etc. To be honest I’ve never seen a swivel that works 100% so if you spin a lot, look for a bar with a below the bar swivel as well so you can manually untwist the lines. Twisted front lines is mainly something to avoid if the kite flags on one or both of these, since the flag line could potentially get stuck and the kite won’t flag out completely.
4. Depower adjuster/trim strap
Most bars adjust their depower above the bar, but some are trimmed below the bar. With above the bar you either have have two adjusters (as depicted here), one to depower and one to release the depower, or you use a cleat as in the below the bar option (but the cleat is above the bar).
With below the bar trim, you use a cleat to lock the trim line in a preferred length. Below-the-bar trimming is usually not preferred due to ergonomic disadvantages, but it’s personal preference in the end.
Both systems work the same way. By pulling in the trim line the front lines become shorter which changes the angle of the kite, which in turn reduces the power of the kite. If you have a very long depower line and make the front lines too short your kite will not perform well and finally stall (which is exactly what we want if we want to depower the kite fully for self landing or in a hazardous situation).
5. Bar throw
This is where you fine tune the power of the kite by adjusting the angle of the kite. Pull the bar in and you make the back lines shorter, thus giving the kite a boost in power. Push the bar out and you make them longer resulting in more load on the front lines and less power. When riding you want to find a sweet spot where all lines have equal load for optimal performance.
When unhooking you’re automatically going to pull the bar in as much as possible. To compensate for this shortening of the back lines you want to trim the depower so the front lines are shortened equal amount. If not, the unequal load will make the kite stall.
6. Quick release
Often referred to as QR. Your no. 1 safety mechanism. Often activated by pushing it away from your body, the QR will activate your safety system and flag the kite so it depowers. After release your kite and bar will only be attached to you via your leash. Most modern systems are quite quick and easy to reassemble while on the water.
7. Chicken loop
The interface between the bar and your harness. If you unhook from the harness all the power will go through your arms.
8. Donkey dick/chicken dick
Piece of plastic to make sure the chicken loop doesn’t unhook unintentionally. It could get in the way if you unhook a lot so removing it is an option.
How to connect your leash
Your leash is attached to your harness in one end and the bar in the other. This way you’re still connected to the kite if you’re unhooked and drop the bar, or if you activate the quick release. Depending on the situation you want the kite to depower fully, or just a bit. You can control this with the way you connect your leash to the bar’s safety system.
1. Flag on front line
This is the safest way to connect. If you pull the QR or loose the bar while unhooked the kite will flag out completely. It’s good for self landing and a recommended way to connect. The downside is that it takes longer to reassemble and there is risk for tangled lines or the kite to invert once it’s flagged out.
2. Flag on back line (Oshit handle)
Similar to front line flagging. This is more common on old bars and inferior because 1) You have the leash above the bar which can be quite distracting, and 2) Although a small risk, flagging out on the back line could cause the kite to loop and generate a lot of power when you least want it.
3. Suicide with flag possibility
A good best-of-both-worlds solution for riders practising unhooked tricks. If the QR is activated the kite will flag on a from line, but if the bar is dropped while unhooked the kite will still be powered up so it’s easy to pull it in and keep riding. You still want the kite to depower 50% – 80% so you’re not being dragged without a chance to recover the bar so make sure you have a lot of bar throw which will depower the kite.
4. Depower on both front lines
Mainly a safety option for below the bar depower trims. Both QR and unhooking will result in the depower line being pulled in as much as possible which depowers the kite to about 80% – 90%. It’s not a good solution for self landing in windy conditions as the kite is not completely depowered and is still flying on both front lines.
Old school hard core style. Most advanced freestyle riders are still using this method as they can assess the situation, and if deemed safe it brings them the advantage of a very quick recovery if they drop the bar when being unhooked. Again, make sure to have a lot of bar throw so the kite still depowers a bit when using this connection.
Does the bar have to be the same brand as the kite?
No. Same brand as the kite could have advantages since they are designed to work together, but as long as it’s a 4-line kite designed for equal line length you’ll be fine on any brand. I’ve mixed brands for years with good compatibility.
The one thing that does matter is where the front lines split. Some kites fly better with high splits and other on low splits. This is one thing you want to check before you mix brands.
What about 5-line kites?
They use the same bar, but with a 5th line you have the option to connect the depower and flag line to it.
So there you have it. Hope it was useful and remember to always understand your control bar’s safety system before using it for the first time.


Rumors had been floating around for months and then a few weeks ago the opening of a new San Francisco flagship store was finally announced by The Hundreds. The store opened its doors today. We are actually quite surprised by the interior design of the store, which is less simplistic than their first store in Los Angeles. But what they both have in common, is the overall dark atmosphere.
Take a close look at it after the jump, they had quite some interesting ideas for their new location.

AVZ boosts lithium recoveries at Manono project; meets with DRC President
Link copied to
Special Report: AVZ Minerals has further increased the grade and recoveries at its Manono lithium and tin project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The company (ASX:AVZ) has also had high level meetings with DRC President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo.
Heavy liquid separation test work using a finer ore crush size of 3.35mm has boosted the grade to 6.63 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) and recoveries to 70.4 per cent for HLSW test work only and no flotation.
That is an increase from a grade of 6.2 per cent and 65.9 per cent recoveries at a 5.56mm crush size, and a grade of 5.77 per cent and 61.7 per cent recoveries at the 10mm crush size through the same HLS process.
Heavy liquid separation test work reports higher recovered grades than dense media separation test work. AVZ is currently undertaking dense media separation test work and a further update is expected soon.
Meanwhile, AVZ is keeping the DRC government updated on the progress of its Manono project.
Last week, a Dathcom Mining SAS delegation led by AVZ’s technical director Graeme Johnston met with President Tshisekedi Tshilombo in Kinshasa, following several meetings with government officials and presidential advisors.
Specific mention was made of the highly successful resource drilling completed in 2018, which prompted AVZ to fast track the definitive feasibility study (DFS).
During the meetings, questions relating to taxation, logistics, energy supply, industrialisation, economic and social development in the Tanganyika Province, and further engagements on key aspects of the project were also discussed.
“We welcome His Excellency’s interest in the Manono lithium and tin project and the support of his office to bring certainty to the DRC’s first, and the world’s largest, undeveloped hard rock lithium deposit,” managing director Nigel Ferguson said.
“We look forward to further engage with key government advisers in the Mines and Finance departments in coming weeks to ensure we move towards a mutually beneficial outcome for the Manono project.”
Manono hosts the largest, highest confidence lithium resource in the world.
And recent test work indicated that material from the Roche Dure target had similar crushing and grinding characteristics and rock strengths to other well-known lithium pegmatite ores.
Pegmatites, which are rocks formed from lava or magma, are the primary source of lithium.
Dewatering of the Roche Dure pit is continuing at a steady rate.
AVZ is stepping up its dewatering efforts with a second pump on its way to the site, which will dramatically increase water pumping rates and allow access to the pit floor.
The company expects to gain full pit access in about two to three months.
Once the pit is fully de-watered, AVZ will start work on comprehensive DFS level pit wall and floor mapping to expand planned geotechnical drilling.
The company also plans to undertake further selective resource drilling to allow upgrade of previously inaccessible pit floor resources and possible grade control drilling test patterns.

After the Senate passed the $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan,” President Joe Biden came out to take a bow. This measure came “not a moment too soon,” he said. “For over a year, the American people were told they were on their own.”
This is the kind of thing presidents say when partisanship defines reality.
One of the hallmarks of hyperpartisanship is to live entirely in the moment. The nearest weapon to hand is fair game. Precedents only matter as a way to show that the other side is hypocritical for violating them. The past itself is a foreign country with no binding power over the “fierce urgency of now,” as Barack Obama liked to say, borrowing from Martin Luther King Jr.
Because Donald Trump lived in the moment, with no historical memory and no foresight beyond the lifespan of a tweet, his administration was a constant demonstration of this dynamic. For example, he frequently insisted that the military had been run into the ground under his predecessor—“We had no ammunition!”—and that he completely rebuilt it. Neither were true.

Welcome to this week's Monday Must-See post. On Mondays, The Prices Do DC will offer an entry about some current exhibit in DC you should see. Sometimes, we will write the post. Sometimes, it will be taken from another publication. But no matter who is the writer, we believe it will showcase an exhibit you shouldn't miss.
In her novel I Always Loved You, author Robin Oliveira imagines a passionate scene between Edgar Degas — a French artist known for his paintings of dancers — and Mary Cassatt — an American painter known for her scenes of family life. The kiss in the novel is pure fiction, but then again, "nobody knows what goes on in their neighbor's house, let alone what happened between two artists 130 years ago," Oliveira says.
A new exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., explores the tumultuous, passionate, artistic relationship between the two artists.

The eel is cooked, then covered with a light, sweet sauce called kabayaki that crisps the skin. Accompany cooked eel, available at Japanese or other Oriental groceries, with an easy homemade Kabayaki sauce, or use the sauce on broiled salmon. Also called Nitsume, Unagi or Kabayaki. It is a sweet and salty sauce that goes great over grilled fish or chicken and is a common drizzle over sushi. Traditionally it is used on Japanese grilled eel and eel rolls. Kabayaki (蒲焼) is a preparation of fish, especially unagi eel, where the fish is split down the back (or belly), gutted and boned, butterflied, cut into square fillets, skewered, and dipped in a sweet soy sauce -based sauce before being cooked on a grill or griddle. There was a shortage of Fish Kabayaki the other night when I made this amazing dish from Jaden’s Steamy Kitchen Cookbook. I used salmon to make this sweet and tangy Gluten Free Salmon Kabayaki and it was phenomenal. In Japan, kabayaki is a common way to cook fish, especially eel (unagi). The preparation entails butterflying, gutting and deboning the fish, and then cutting the fillets into pieces to be threaded onto skewers. The fish pieces are dipped into a sweet soy sauce-based glaze, called kabayaki sauce, which is very similar to teriyaki sauce.

Kabayaki eel is very popular as a nutritious, stamina-generating food. Many people still follow customs from the Edo period to eat kabayaki during the summer , especially on the particular day called "doyo-no ushi-no-hi", which is in the mid summer when people's fatigue from heat is about to start accumulating.
While kabayaki is often served by itself, they are also served with rice and called " unadon " when it is in a large bowl and "unaju" when in a tiered food box.

This method of cooking retains most of the moisture in the meat, preserving a high concentration of oleic acids which keeps it super succulent and juicy.
If I had any scepticism towards the quality of Iberico pork sold in a food court before, this dish proved all my doubts wrong.
The distinctive sharp smell of garlic reached my nose before I even set the bowl down. Upon closer inspection, I spotted small specks of garlic in the golden-brown sauce.
Lifting it up, it was obvious that this cut of meat was cooked differently from the rest. Unlike the pork jowl and Iberico pork, the pork loin was cooked by pan-frying the slices flat.
Japanese cuisine features fresh ingredients, light sauces and pleasing arrangements. Perhaps because it is an island nation, Japanese use fish as a major source of protein in their diets.

“Somebody knows something” – The families behind Ireland’s 240 unsolved gangland murders
New figures have been compiled for an edition of RTÉ’s Prime Time, broadcast tonight.
OVER 240 GANGLAND murders remain unsolved in Ireland since 1980 according to new figures compiled for RTÉ’s Prime Time.
That includes 130 murders committed here in the last 10 years alone in which the killers have never been caught.
Tonight’s programme spoke to the relatives of three such incidents in recent years.
In November 2010 cousins Glen Murphy and Mark Noonan were shot dead at the forecourt of Tesco Clearwater in Finglas, north Dublin.
Their murder was a case of mistaken identity, with the killers mistaking their car for somebody else’s.
The Dublin gang responsible subsequently escaped across the border, travelling at speeds of up to 200 km/h.
No one was ever charged for their murder.
“They went to the shop that night like anybody else to get a DVD and a packet of cigarettes,” Mark’s mother Geraldine told Prime Time.
Mark had a little girl, she was only nine months old. He picked Glen to be the Godfather. Mark and Glen were always together. Our lads are now lying in a grave and the killers are still out walking and living.
“Somebody knows something”, says Geraldine’s sister Michelle Murphy.
And we need those people to come forward. I’m not saying it would bring Mark and Glen back that’s never going to happen but it would help us. It could do tremendous things.
In April 2014, Eoin O’Connor and Anthony Keegan borrowed Eoin’s mother’s car to travel from Dublin to Cavan.
Neither were ever seen again alive.
Their bodies were discovered the following month on Inchicup Island at Lough Sheelin on the Cavan / Meath border. They had been tied up and shot dead. Likewise, Eoin and Anthony’s murders remain unsolved.
“I don’t know what would bring people to do that. What kind of minds they have,” Eoin’s mother Jean told the programme.
Eoin had previously worked as a courier and had no record of being involved in organised crime.
“Eoin was a family man, he had two beautiful children. Somebody knows who is responsible and I am appealing to those people,” said Jean.
We will never be the same again but if we get justice it would help us.
Eoin was my son. I loved him. I still love him.
“At the end of the day there are murderers out there,” said Jean.
It’s not a nice feeling.
The report also featured an impassioned plea from Joe and Nell Maughan, the parents of Willie Maughan, who disappeared along with his girlfriend Anna Varslavane in April 2015.
At the time Willie and Anna were living in Gormanston, Co Meath, but had made plans to move back to Tallaght, Willie’s home.
Anna was 20 years old. She was also pregnant.
The two disappeared after making a phone call to Willie’s mother. They have never been seen again.
Tonight, Joe and Nell say that all they want is “to give them a Christian burial”.
“We know that William and Anna were murdered. But our priority is to get the bodies back,” said Nell.
What we are going through I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Just pick up the phone and tell where the bodies are.
We know a lot more now than we knew when all this started. And we know that people know something.
Fred concludes: We can’t forget 12 years ago when some politician said “Gangland are gone forever, the last sting of a dying bee”. Some BEE? Well since that comment was made reality took over and new groups of young thugs have entered the drug trade and have no hesitation in murdering anyone who gets in their way or who owes them a drug debt. In 2007, we had a serious drug problem but now we have Towns in Ireland literally locked down and people living in fear (we have Drogheda in crisis and Longford is not far behind). A meeting was held last week in Castlebar where people have literally begged for help; they cannot walk the main street at night because of the fear through intimidation by young thugs. Now let’s go one further, this is Castlebar, a country town, the town of Enda Kenny, and all you have to do is Google and read it for yourself. The Gardai are wonderful when the seize a cache of drugs and the cameras are never far behind so I ask the question today: How is every village and town in Ireland saturated with cannabis, meth-crystal, heroin and not forgetting cocaine. We have a serious problem. Also our politicians are not asking where are all the guns coming from because these young thugs are better armed than the Irish Gardai. I am not knocking the Irish Gardai; they are better at doing that themselves. We need a special task force again; we also need a collective formula. We need every Co Council in Ireland and the councillors to shape up and wake up and listen to the local people who know who the dealers are. The Gardai cannot do it alone. We know this for definite. We also need to root out the Bag Men; the men who launder and discretely bank the money here and offshore. We also need to root out the dodgy estate agents who sell properties and never ask where the money comes from.

Background: Philippines President, Ferdinand Marcos, arrived in Singapore for a three day state visit and talks prior to next month's summit of leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian nations (ASEAN).
On Thursday (29 January) Singapore and the Philippines issued a communique saying that threats of subversion within member countries of ASEAN would be reduced if economic development in the area was accelerated.
The joint communique from President Marcos and Singapore Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, said the great powers could play a positive and constructive role in the development efforts of the countries in the region, based on the principles of mutual benefits, non-interference and respect for sovereignty.
President Marcos arrived in Singapore on Tuesday (27 January) with his wife Imelda. They were greeted at the airport by President Benjamin Shares and Lee Kuan Yew.
At a state banquet following his arrival, President Marcos said the withdrawal of the United States from the Asian mainland -- with the exception of South Korea -- had made southeast Asia change its goals.
SYNOPSIS: In Singapore leaders of Southeast Asian nations have been meeting for talks prior to their summit meeting next month. Philippines President Marcos arrived for a three-day visit for talks with President She ares and Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.

Removable USB media devices such as flash drives pose a significant – and intentional – cybersecurity threat to an array of industrial process control networks, according to the multi-national manufacturer Honeywell.
Data derived from the firm’s technology used to scan and control USB devices at 50 customer locations showed that nearly half (44 percent) detected and blocked at least one file with a security issue. The firm also found that 26 percent of the detected threats were capable of significant disruption by causing operators to lose visibility or control of their operations. The threats targeted a variety of industrial sites, including refineries, chemical plants and pulp-and-paper manufacturers around the world, and the threats themselves ranged in severity. About one in six targeted industrial control systems or Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Eric Knapp, director of strategic innovation, Honeywell Industrial Cyber Security, said: “The data showed much more serious threats than we expected, and taken together, the results indicate that a number of these threats were targeted and intentional. This research confirms what we have suspected for years – USB threats are real for industrial operators. What is surprising is the scope and severity of the threats, many of which can lead to serious and dangerous situations at sites that handle industrial processes.”
The research examined data collected from Honeywell’s Secure Media Exchange (SMX), which is designed to scan and control removable media, including USB drives. Among the threats detected were high-profile, well-known issues such as TRITON and Mirai, as well as variants of Stuxnet, an attack type as used by nation-states to disrupt industrial operations. In comparative tests, up to 11 percent of the threats discovered were not reliably detected by more traditional anti-malware technology.
Knapp said: “Customers already know these threats exist, but many believe they aren’t the targets of these high-profile attacks. This data shows otherwise, and underscores the need for advanced systems to detect these threats.”
The research, presented in the Honeywell Industrial USB Threat Report, recommends that operators combine people training, process changes, and technical solutions to reduce the risk of USB threats across industries.

"A LONG OVER DUE VISIT TO SEE AN OLD FRIEND" Fort Lauderdale by moiraistyx
Fort Lauderdale Travel Guide: 656 reviews and 1,376 photos
This is me and my friend Jason. He is one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world. Jason and I have been friend for well over a decade now. We have seen eachother through good times and bad, and it always seems we find our way to each other for support and a little R & R. Lucky for me Jason is a massage therapist, he really know's how to ge tthe tension out of ones neck.
Back at Boston University, I had the honor of meeting a wonderful gentleman named Jason. His brother Justin lived on my dorm floor. We met briefly when I was a freshman and then again at my senior ball. My date was ill and not up for much dancing. Justin came over to say hello and reintroduced me to his date, his brother Jason. Well needless to say, my date suggested Jason and I go dance. Well we did and we danced the entire night. A few days later I ran into him outside of my apartment building. We went for a walk and exchanged addresses and phone numbers. From there commenced a letter writing, emailing and phone call campaign that has now last more than 11 years. Jason convinced me after having my heart broken to come down for some peace and quiet. It was much needed and defiantely deserved. We had a fantastic time. I will be bringing Patrick, my son, back for a trip to Disney. The next time I visit I will not be coming during hurricane season. Charlie paid us a visit so we had to cancel are trip to the keys. Actually we were almost there when they announced the evacuation. Next time though.
- Pros:All the beautiful beaches.
- Cons:The summer heat.
- In a nutshell:The beaches are beautiful and I love the different palm trees.
If there is one thing Jason really likes to do, it's scuba diving. He has his own tanks, fins etc. Before you can go... more travel advice
If there is one thing Ft. Lauderdale has a lot of, it's roller bladders. There wasn't a day during my visit that I... more travel advice

Chapter OneStructuring a Document: Using the Headings Skeleton
This chapter covers:
TAIMRAD: the classic structure of an experimental report.
When TAIMRAD isn't an appropriate structure for your document.
The basic skeleton of section headings.
Building an extended skeleton of section headings.
Using the Outline mode of Microsoft Word® to help organise your document.
The importance of overview information: building a navigational route through your document.
Deliberate repetition of information in the basic skeleton.
The Basic Skeleton of Section Headings for a Technical Document
This section covers:
The classic TAIMRAD structure for an experimental report.
When TAIMRAD isn't suitable: choosing section headings.
The basic set of headings forming the skeleton of a document, whatever its topic or length.
TAIMRAD: The classic structure of an experimental report
The classic, traditional structure for an experimental report, particularly a journal paper, is the TAIMRAD structure: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion.
When TAIMRAD Isn't an appropriate structure for your document
The classic TAIMRAD structure may not be suitable if you are reporting on:
Experimental work but the structure needs to be expanded from the restrictive TAIMRAD form or
Work that is not of an experimental nature.
In this case, you will need to construct your own set of headings.
There is no single structure that can be applied to all reports. The following sections give guidelines for this.
Choosing a set of main headings
The basic skeleton of all professional technical documents is made up of a set of main headings. The headings don't depend on the topic or length of the report, or whether it presents experimental or investigational work that you've done, or material that you've researched only from the literature (e.g. a generalised project report).
Documents tend to start and end with the same sections; the middle part will depend on the subject matter of your document. To show this, Table 1.1 compares the basic format for a generalised short and a long document.
Choosing Section Headings: Building an Extended Skeleton
This section describes how to:
Build up the general skeleton into an appropriate extended skeleton of sections for your document. This covers every type of document that is not of a strictly TAIMRAD structure.
Use the standard sections frequently used in longer documents.
Steps to take
Step 1: Working from the basic skeleton, plan an enlarged skeleton for your document. Use Table 1.2 for help: it does the following:
It lists many standard sections used in postgraduate science and technological documents in the approximate order in which they would occur in the document.
It gives the purpose of each section.
It cross-refers you to the pages of this book that give guidelines on how to write each section described in Table 1.2.
Step 2: Work out your own headings for the central part of the document. Think about what the reader needs.
Ask yourself: What does the reader need to be able to assess my material most readily? How can I best tell this story for the reader?
Don't ask: How do I want to present this material? This is quite different; it is looking at it from your point of view, not the reader's. Documents that are written from the writer's point of view run the risk of being difficult for a reader to readily understand.
The Outline Mode of Microsoft Word®: Organizing a Document
This section very briefly describes the Outline mode of Microsoft Word®. This mode helps organise a document, revise it, and produce a professional-looking document.
The Outline mode of Microsoft Word® will:
1. Help organise a set of headings and subheadings of various levels.
This is useful for the first stage of organising a document. You decide on your headings, the sub-headings and their divisions, and then assign them to their various levels (level 1 for a main heading, level 2 for a sub-heading and so on). They can be easily reassigned to different levels at any time in the writing process.
The text is then inserted under the headings to produce the full document.
2. Collapse the document to display only selected levels of headings.
This gives an overview of the whole document. You can select the level of overview. By collapsing the document and selecting to display only the level 1 headings, you can check the overall structure of the document in terms of only its main headings. By progressively displaying greater levels of sub-headings, you can obtain an increasingly more detailed view of the structure of the document.
This also helps in revising the first draft of the document.
3. Enable a heading to be dragged and dropped to a different place in the document or to a different level.
This helps to organise and revise the document. When a heading is dragged and dropped, the corresponding text is also moved.
4. Automatically produce a Table of Contents with the corresponding page numbers.
The Importance of Overview Information
This section describes how to help readers to navigate their way through your document. In this way, they will understand and assess the information much more readily.
This is done by using the basic skeleton and section summaries to provide overview information.
Even though technical documents have side-headings, they are very often difficult to assess and extract information from. This can be because the readers can't see a route through it, i.e. something to help them to navigate their way.
You can construct a navigational guide through your document by using the basic skeleton and building on it. Your readers should then be able to use this – probably unconsciously – to gain a much readier understanding of your material.
Building a roadmap by giving overview information throughout
Psychological studies have shown that our brains need initial overviews to better assess the full information that follows.
To use this concept, think of structuring information in the shape of a diamond (Figure 1.1).
1. First, think of the whole document as being diamond shaped. At the narrow ends, the information is brief, focused and concise.
– The Summary or Abstract at the beginning and the Conclusions at the end each give overview information.
– The Summary prepares the reader for the whole document; the Conclusions confirms the findings and their significance.
2. Next, think of each section of a long document as also being diamond shaped. It will have a title; It will also help the readers if it has a very brief summary immediately under the section's title.
This structure does two things:
1. It helps the expert reader get an undetailed understanding of the key information in a document. The formula for this is as follows: Read only the Title, Summary/Abstract/ Executive Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations.
These sections – together with the section summaries – should form a road map that orientates the readers and guides them through the document. They also give the non-expert reader a means of obtaining an undetailed overview. (For an explanation of the varying levels of detail delivered by certain sections, see Table 1.3.)
2. It lets non-expert readers obtain an overview of the document by reading these particular sections, while avoiding the detail.
How a reader with less expertise than you would probably read a document structured in this way:
Suggested wording (placed immediately before or after the main Summary):
For overview information about this document, please read the Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations together with the section summaries at the beginning of each section.
Deliberate Repetition of Information in a Document
This section describes how information is deliberately repeated in the various sections of the basic skeleton.
People are sometimes concerned because they see information repeated throughout a report. Remember, however, that this repetition is deliberate and controlled – the basic skeleton calls for it. The repeated information forms part of the navigational route described previously and guides the reader through the document. Table 1.4 shows the information that is repeated and the sections where it occurs.
This deliberate restatement of undetailed information in the basic skeleton is a feature of a professional document. But information that is repeated because the document has been sloppily assembled is another matter.
Specific Types of Documents: Using This Book
This section describes how to use this book if you are writing a specific type of document.
Specific types of documents are dealt with in Chapters 3–14. Each of these chapters gives extra material relevant to the type of document (including a suggested structure) and is cross-referred to the material in Chapter 2 – The Core Chapter: Sections and Elements of a Document. Table 1.5 lists the various specific types of documents covered in these chapters and additional appendix material that may be helpful.
Checklist for the structuring of a document
Are you using the necessary headings of the basic skeleton?
Are the headings of your expanded skeleton appropriate to your topic?
Are your headings in a logical order?
Have you built a navigational route for the reader by giving overview information throughout your document: an Abstract or Summary or Executive Summary, Recommendations and Conclusions, and in a long report, section summaries?
Have you deliberately controlled the repetition of information throughout the document?
Chapter TwoThe Core Chapter: Sections and Elements of a Document
This chapter covers the requirements for each of the sections and elements required in the various types of documents you may have to prepare as a postgraduate. Any one document will not need all of the sections described in this chapter.
Many sections are described under most or all of the following headings:
How to Write It
The Tense of the Verb
For a specific type of document, use the relevant chapter for that document type in combination with this chapter.
The sections are listed in the approximate order in which they are usually found in a document.
The following sections and elements of a document are covered in this chapter. Some elements are cross-referenced to other chapters that give a detailed treatment of that element.
Many of these sections are described under most or all of the following headings:
1. Purpose or the aim of each of the sections.
2. Difficulties when writing the section.
3. How to write the section.
4. Common mistakes to avoid.
5. The tense of the verb to use.
See Appendix 2 for guidelines for using tense in technical documents, as well as definitions and examples of the various tenses of the verb.

This CEO's Sentiment On Gold Turned Bullish, Here's Why
(Kitco News) - Nolan Watson, President, CEO and Director of Sandstorm Gold, feels confident in the gold space for the first time in years, due to a host of fundamental factors coming together in gold’s favor.
“For the first time in a long time I feel all of the signs, everything is lining up to back gold,” Watson told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference.
Spot gold fell more than 1% in 2018, but has trended higher towards the end of the year, with prices closing at the highest level since June.
According to Watson, gold prices are still held back by a lack of capital.
“We're not seeing the flow of funds yet, so share prices are still really low. Companies’ share prices are down and out. I think it’s a good time to invest in the gold space,” Watson said.
Watson’s comments come as Newmont announced its plans to acquire Goldcorp earlier this month, and he said investors can expect more mergers to come.
“I think we are going to see more consolidation in the space,” he said. “I don’t think it’s because the executives know anything that the rest of us don’t, but effectively what’s going on is, the whole financial markets around the world are changing and it’s not just in metals and mining.”
Watson said that investor capital is shifting from active institutional investing to passive funds like ETFs.

I stayed in Ibis budget in Portsmouth, England. It was my first time in this hotel. It was chosen for me by my son who had previously stayed in Ibis in Yaroslavl, Russia. I liked everything. The staff was very wellcoming and friendly, my room was very clean and nice. Breakfast was great. I would definitely recommend to choose this hotel if you decide to go to Portsmouth.

In Portsmouth, not for the first time, to support our daughter's return to University after the Christmas break. Nice cosy and functional hotel. Bed slept much better than my wife and I could imagine. Reception and service staff - friendly and helpful as usual, close to relevant amenities. Will definitely be back.

Clean, but so basic, literally one step up from camping! Nothing other than a bed in the room, no bathroom as shower was next to the bed, rooms very small, photos on line don't seem to show how small, no kettlle or hairdryer and tiny TV. Rooms OK if you don't have to spend your time in them!! Drinks very expensive too....
