NOTE: In this article, White baneberry and Actaeapachypoda may be used interchangeably; in fact, Actaeapachypoda is the botanical name for White baneberry.
White baneberry, also known as doll’s eyes, is a popular plant to grow in gardens because of its striking visual interest. The plant produces white berries with deep purple “pupils” that look like a doll’s eyes, in addition to its clusters of tiny white flowers.
Why does my Actaeapachypoda roots have rot?
If left untreated, root rot on your White baneberry (Actaeapachypoda) can be fatal. For this reason, if the symptoms appear, we highly advise that you adhere to our recommendations to keep your plant alive: Blackened and softened roots.
Why does my White baneberry have gray mold spots?
A particular fungus that frequently affects flowers and spreads quickly is known as gray mold spots. This fungus is most likely to blame if you see any brown (or gray) spots. Don’t ignore these signs because doing so could cause your plant to die.
The solution is quite logical when you know the cause of the problem. Most of the time, it is due to overwater of the Actaeapachypoda. We advise you to remove the infected parts of the plant, cut off the infected roots and leaves, then repot your plant using sterile potting soil and a clean pot.
Why does my White baneberry have leaf spots?
We provide you with all the information you need to identify and save your plants if they display signs like leaves that suddenly change color or wilt/droop. This sort of sickness is one of the most aggravating for White baneberry owners.
Why are my White baneberry leaves turning yellow?
This is probably the most common problem in the gardening world, yellowing leaves. There are 2 main reasons for this phenomenon, overwatering, or a lack of nutrients.
Whether you think your plants are getting too much water, cut back on how often you water them, and take the following measures to see if they might be nutritionally deficient:
Here are some signs of yellowing caused by the many deficiencies on the Actaeapachypoda in question:
- Yellow patches between leaf veins on elder leaves are the first sign of magnesium shortage. Veins continue to be green while the leaf’s core turns yellow. The leaf’s edges yellow last.
- Another indicator of iron deficiency is yellowing between leaf veins, but young leaves on plant tops and branch tips are first affected.
- Sulfur shortage first affects the youngest leaves, turning them entirely yellow.
- Potassium deficiency shows itself when leaf edges turn bright yellow, but the inner leaf stays green. Older leaves show symptoms first, and leaf edges soon turn brown.
- Nitrogen deficiency shows up as a general yellowing. Older, inner leaves turn yellow first. As it progresses, yellowing moves outward, eventually reaching young leaves, too.
According to the symptoms mentioned above, you just have to act accordingly. You can reduce your watering frequency, or fix a deficiency in Potassium, or Nitrogen, for that, you just have to buy a special soil for your deficiency, a consultant in a gardening store will know perfectly well how to inform you.
Is my White baneberry sunburned?
It is quite easy to find out if your White baneberry (Actaeapachypoda) has been burned by the sun. Just like on us, your plant will change color in this case, it will start to turn yellow or white.
The leaves of your White baneberry can also change color in case it gets too much water or not enough light, as we saw above.
The bottom of the yellow leaves with a shaded area closer to the base can be examined to determine if they have been sunburned. If this part remains greener, the yellow leaf is most likely sunburned and not something else.
Why are my White baneberry leaves turning brown?
The classic sign that a plant has been overexposed to direct sunlight and sunburned is the development of browning leaves. Rest assured that while this may probably save your plant from dying, it will adversely affect its growth.
Should I leave my Actaeapachypoda in direct sunlight?
No! Don’t leave your Actaeapachypoda (or White baneberry) in the sun if it displays the symptoms mentioned above; that’s why it’s in such a bad situation.
As explained in the paragraph above, the solution is simple, just place your White baneberry in a place where the light does not reach it directly, in this way and with a correct watering, your plant should resume its life rather quickly.
Why are my Actaeapachypoda leaves drooping or wilting ?
In most cases, this happens when your Actaeapachypoda lacks water. This is especially the case for large plants, naturally they need more water than others.
You may quickly determine if your Actaeapachypoda plant needs water by under-weighing its pot; if it seems light, the soil and roots are probably fairly dry and require water.
In order to ensure that the roots of your plant receive the water’s benefits, you must first moisten the soil in the container if it is absolutely dry. One common error is to immediately drown the White baneberry after a dry period in the belief that it requires a lot of water.
This is the case, but giving too much water at once is the best way to finish it off, you should actually water the soil normally, resuming a quiet watering rhythm.
Caring Tips for Actaeapachypoda
Water is necessary for your plant to live, but timing and amount of watering must be balanced. Overwatering could have disastrous effects on your own name, as we already mentioned.
Touching the soil will let you know whether your plant needs water or not; if it still feels damp, it’s generally best to wait a few more days.
Always keep temperatures stable
It’s also a good idea to keep your Actaeapachypoda at a constant temperature, especially if it’s kept indoors. In general, at GreenShack, we suggest booking a temperature between 65 and 85 degrees F. Of course, keep your Actaeapachypoda away from radiators, air conditioners, and other sources of hot or cold air.
Keep your White baneberry Dust-Free
This one relates to indoor plants. Just like your furniture, dust collects on the leaves of your indoor plants. The issue is that this can block the photosynthesis process from starting, which would cause the plants to gradually lose their color.
For your White baneberry, this would be a true descent into hell, and it would also appease the pests.
To remove the dust, gently rub the plant’s leaves with a microfiber cloth. Dust can be removed more easily with a damp cloth, but stay away from corrosive substances like rubbing alcohol!
Keep drainage in mind
If you have a tendency to overwater, you need to keep an eye on your drainage, we advise you to opt for a pot with drainage holes if it is not already the case and a saucer.
You can add volcanic rocks (or any other pebbles with holes) to the bottom of your pot in the interim if your pots don’t already have holes in them. This will help to form a channel so that the water doesn’t pool there for too long (preventing the rot of the roots!).

Morrisons to close on Boxing Day this year as thanks to key worker staff
Supermarket giant Morrisons will close its door late on Christmas Eve for two days, as workers are given an extended Christmas break.
The company usually only allows it’s stores to close on Christmas Day, but have vowed to give employees a day off on Boxing Day, as a thanks for all their hard work during the pandemic.
Bosses made the announcement to its 111,000 workers on Tuesday, 10 August.
This will be the first time since the supermarket’s founding in 1961. The move comes following the same decision being taken by competitors such as Asda, Marks & Spencer, Pets At Home, Aldi, Lidl and The Entertainer last year.
The supermarkets agreed staff deserved the day off to spend time with families and loved ones after one of the hardest years in retail, with shelves stripped bare and workers battling to keep the nation fed during the pandemic.
However, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury’s opted to follow a business-as-usual approach and opened their supermarkets, though some offer staff incentives to work.
Now, Morrisons have followed suit and thanked staff with an extra day off. It comes as bids are made by private equity houses Fortress and Clayton, Dubliner & Rice (CD&R) to buy the company.
Joanne McGuiness, national officer at shop workers’ union Usdaw, said: “The last year-and-a-half has been unlike any other.
“The pandemic meant shop workers stepped up and kept essential services running. We welcome Morrisons doing the right thing by their staff with the closure of supermarkets on Boxing Day.
“Key workers have done so much this year and we are asking retailers to give their staff the longest possible break over the festive season to provide them with a well-deserved breather. We don’t think this is too much to ask for.”

Week In Review
March 16, 2009
Don't Regulate Money Funds Like Banks: Fed Chairman
Unlike his predecessor, Paul Volcker, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve doesn't believe money market funds should be regulated like banks, with reserve requirements and mandatory insurance. However, Ben Bernanke does believe they should have limited insurance and be subject to such investment restrictions as only buying short-term, liquid securities.
"He's being more measured in his remarks," Joan Swirsky, an attorney with Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, told Bloomberg. "He's not throwing out the baby with the bathwater."
The Investment Company Institute has said that if strict restrictions were imposed on money market funds, it could potentially kill the industry. The ICI welcomed Bernanke's more measured approach and acknowledged some reforms were necessary.
"We agree with Chairman Bernanke that money market funds play a crucial role in the U.S. economy and appreciate his comments on the need to increase the resiliency of the money markets, generally, and money market funds, in particular," said ICI spokesman Gregory Ahern.
The ICI's working group on money market funds, headed by Vanguard Chairman John Brennan, is scheduled to deliver its findings by the end of the month.
SEC Examiners Scrutinize Fund Firms' Asset Custody
The Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly scrutinizing asset management firms' custodial arrangements to ensure that they are properly protecting customers' assets. The SEC is also planning on-site visits to speak with those executives in charge of safeguarding assets. The action comes on the heels of the Bernard Madoff $50 billion and R. Allen Stanford $8 billion fraud.
Fidelity to Hold Seminars On Saving in a Downturn
Fidelity Investments is treating investors' unease with the markets as an opportunity to help them revisit their retirement goals, risk tolerance, household budget and preparedness for job loss, by holding 500 seminars around the nation, offering online tools and running ads.
Called "Guide to Personal Savings," the campaign emphasizes taking control of one's financial health and not losing sight of preparing for retirement.
"Last year, Fidelity conducted 1.3 million financial guidance interactions with Americans, and we anticipate the number of investors in need of help this year will be greater," said Kathleen A. Murphy, president of personal investing at Fidelity. "The volatility of the market has left many Americans uncertain of how to tackle short- and long-term financial goals. In response to this tremendous need for financial guidance, we've launched a national program that harnesses new and existing Fidelity resources."
The seminars, which will be free and held at the firm's brokerage centers, will cover such topics as "Quarterly Market Updates," "Wise Choices for Your 401(k)," "Building a Retirement Roadmap" and "Putting Your Financial Future on Track." They will not only cover retirement but also mortgages, credit cards, college savings, auto loans and emergency funds. For investors in 401(k) plans, Fidelity will offer in-person seminars at offices in major cities.
Schwab Offers Guidance To 401(k) Investors
In response to the market downturn and wide confusion among investors about what they should do, Charles Schwab has published a number of articles on its website offering guidance. Schwab is also holding seminars at its branches, town hall discussions and webcasts.
"When it comes to investing, Schwab is here to help investors build a plan that's well thought out and can be maintained over time," said Mark Riepe, senior vice president with Schwab Center for Financial Research.
In "Seven Ways to Take Control of Your Retirement in Rough Times," Riepe says those in or near retirement should certainly reassess their willingness to withstand both volatility and risk. That said, investors must be mindful of the "risks associated with cash," he added. "Cash-heavy portfolios typically tend to be less volatile, but we believe they also have poor, long-term return prospects."
Investors also need to revisit the overriding goals for their portfolio and current cash-flow needs and structure it accordingly. Remember, Schwab says, a 65-year-old has a life expectancy of another 19 years and may need equity exposure to make their portfolio last.
Especially now, Schwab says, "check the quality of your holdings [and] your portfolio concentration. Now is a particularly opportune time to review your specific holdings. [Rid your portfolio of] securities and mutual funds with poor prospects for the future."
For younger investors who are still contributing to their 401(k)s, Schwab emphasizes the long-term performance of the market in an article titled, "Tips for 401(k) Investing in Today's Volatile Market."
Yes, Schwab admits, "it's an uncomfortable time to be an investor" but now is not the time to give up on the markets. "Keep doing the right thing. Don't succumb to the market roller coaster," Schwab advises. And it tells retirees, yes, it's important tothink about risk and rebalance investments, but investors would be doing themselves a disservice by bailing out of equities entirely, Schwab says.

Acoustic sources of opportunity in the marine environment - applied to source localization and ocean sensing
- Author(s): Verlinden, Christopher M.
- Advisor(s): Kuperman, William A
- et al.
Controlled acoustic sources have typically been used for imaging the ocean. These sources can either be used to locate objects or characterize the ocean environment. The processing involves signal extraction in the presence of ambient noise, with shipping being a major component of the latter. With the advent of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) which provides accurate locations of all large commercial vessels, these major noise sources can be converted from nuisance to beacons or sources of opportunity for the purpose of studying the ocean. The source localization method presented here is similar to traditional matched field processing, but differs in that libraries of data-derived measured replicas are used in place of modeled replicas. In order to account for differing source spectra between library and target vessels, cross-correlation functions are compared instead of comparing acoustic signals directly. The library of measured cross-correlation function replicas is extrapolated using waveguide invariant theory to fill gaps between ship tracks, fully populating the search grid with estimated replicas allowing for continuous tracking. In addition to source localization, two ocean sensing techniques are discussed in this dissertation. The feasibility of estimating ocean sound speed and temperature structure, using ship noise across a drifting volumetric array of hydrophones suspended beneath buoys, in a shallow water marine environment is investigated. Using the attenuation of acoustic energy along eigenray paths to invert for ocean properties such as temperature, salinity, and pH is also explored. In each of these cases, the theory is developed, tested using numerical simulations, and validated with data from acoustic field experiments.

By Daud Olatunji
The Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, on Monday, issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the state’s Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, to release the report on the allegation of vote-buying levelled against the Governor Dapo Abiodun and his party, the All Progressives Congress.
The PDP Chairman, Sikirulahi Ogundele, issued the ultimatum at a press briefing held in Abeokuta, the state capital.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Abiodun the winner of the March 18, 2023 governorship election.
The PDP governorship candidate in the state, Ladi Adebutu, who had dragged Abiodun to tribunal also petitioned the Inspector General of Police, accusing Abiodun of vote buying and unleashing violence during the poll.
The PDP chairman said the party’s petition was submitted during the administration of the immediate-past IGP, Alkali Baba but had not been concluded as of the time he was sacked.
Ogundele expressed worry that the investigation should have been concluded.
He said, “The PDP was aware that Governor Abiodun and his party, APC were putting unbearable pressure and as well threatening the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, and his officers to allegedly suppress the release and distort the findings of the investigation ordered by the immediate past Inspector General of Police, Baba Alkali based on the opposition party’s petition dated May 2, 2023.
“It is clear that Governor Dapo Abiodun after having a hint that many revelations on how he has diverted taxpayers’ money to pay One Card Nigeria Limited owned by Mr Tunde Odulaja up to billions of Naira to produce cards to buy votes in the March 18, Gubernatorial election.
“We are also aware that Governor Dapo Abiodun is trying to suppress the report because he knows the investigations have uncovered many atrocities he has perpetuated with his co-travelers with evidence provided by various witnesses and facts made available and how government accounts were used to buy votes.
“The Commissioner of Police is hereby given three days ultimatum to release the report of the investigation or else.”
When contacted for a reaction to the allegation, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Omolola Odutola, said she was not aware of the matter.
She said, “I am not aware of this. My boss has not briefed me on this. I prefer to comment on heinous crimes and matters that DPOs can report in remote areas.
“I am sorry I honestly don’t have a comment on this, thank you for your understanding.”
Meanwhile, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in the state, Tunde Oladunjoye, described the PDP claims as falsehoods.
Oladunjoye insisted that the PDP governorship candidate “has been on the run from the law since his invitation by the police.”
Oladunjoye advised Adebutu “to be man enough to face the criminal charges preferred against him by the Federal Government and stop sounding like a broken record.”
The APC spokesperson in a statement titled ‘Face your criminal charges and stop sounding like a broken record’ urged the PDP “to stop wasting their time on a lost battle but rather concentrate their energies and resources on defending themselves of the weighty criminal charges hanging round their necks, and to which many of their conspirators have confessed to.
“The PDP has nothing new to say. We have gone through the porous press statement and we cannot find anything more than the trite excuses, false claims, and contradictions of the defeated candidate who has been on the run from the law since his invitation by the police.
“By now, even the media would be tired of the monotonous noise of these losers. A party, whose candidate has shunned Police invitation, fled the country, and attempted to stop his trial, is unabashedly making false accusations and preemptively blackmailing the police.
“The desperate press conference was held after the court has thrown out the same spurious claims canvassed.
“When the Police invited the suspect, he fled abroad and told the Police he was going for medicals and his return could only be determined by his doctor. Then he told the public that his life was threatened and he has therefore fled to an unknown destination.
“Few weeks after, he approached the court and filed a motion stopping Police from ‘inviting’, ‘interviewing’ or ‘detaining’ him over allegations of votes-buying through the printing and distribution of 200,000 pieces of Verve ATM cards preloaded with N10,000 credit and totaling N2 billion. He also wanted the court to ask the Police to defer the trial till after the conclusion of his petition at the Tribunal in Abeokuta.
“In the process of serial lies and contradictions, Adebutu has even lied under oath, committed perjury and he certainly has a date to keep with the law. For someone who kept boasting that his father’s money can do anything, the recent meaningless press conference is perhaps an indication that money has failed him in buying the law.
“The party advised the Ogun state PDP and its defeated governorship candidate to stop wasting their time on a lost battle but rather concentrate their energies and resources on defending themselves of the weighty criminal charges hanging around their necks, and to which many of their conspirators have confessed to.”

Υπόθεση: A samurai sent through time fights to return home and save the world.
AnonymousIn the distant past, a Japanese samurai (Phil LaMarr) embarks on a mission to defeat the evil shape-shifting wizard Aku (Mako and Greg Baldwin). Before he can complete his task, though, he is catapulted thousands of years into the future. He finds himself in a world where Aku now enjoys complete power over every living thing. Dubbing himself "Jack", he sets out on a new quest - to right the wrongs that have been done by his enemy, and to find a way back to his own time so he can destroy the evil for good.
Alan Back Long ago in a distant land, Aku the shape-shifting master of darkness unleashed an unspeakable evil, but a brave samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose him. Before the final blow was struck, Aku threw open a portal in time and flung the samurai into the future, where Aku's evil is law. Now the samurai seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku.
Nick Lattin-ScheetzIn ancient Japan, the shape-shifting wizard known as Aku (Mako and Greg Baldwin) resurfaces and attacks the nation. When the Emperor is captured, his son is sent to train throughout the world in many forms of discipline and combat. As an adult, he reunites with his mother, who gives him the sacred sword capable of defeating Aku. When the samurai (Phil LaMarr) returns home to face the wizard, he is sent through time into the distant future, where Aku still rules over a world filled with high technology, aliens, and other oddities that the samurai doesn't understand. Taking on the name "Jack", the samurai makes a name for himself as he struggles to free the future from Aku's grasp, and one day return to his own time to stop Aku before this future comes to pass.

XCerts frontman Murray Macleod told Kerrang this is a song about feeling imprisoned by desire. "I thought it was funny how I once used the title as a term of endearment and then used it negatively in regards to the same person," he said.
The Springsteen-esque anthem features an instrumental contribution by Will Gardner from English progressive rock band Black Peaks. MacLeod said:
"We knew from the off the song had to feature a saxophone! We wanted sex appeal, so we got Will from Black Peaks down to the studio and let him shred. Even though the song very much wears its Tom Petty influence on its sleeve we also had to tip the cap to Clarence Clemons from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band."

iPhone 14 Pro Supply Remains Heavily Constrained Ahead of the Holidays, But Other Products Available
As we inch closer to the holidays, supply of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models remains heavily constrained and unlikely to meet the holiday demand in the United States. On the flip side, several other products, including iPads, Macs, lower-end iPhone models, AirPods, and more, remain available for customers who are holiday shopping this year.
As we reported last month, supply constraints and ongoing restrictions in Apple's production plants meant that iPhone 14 Pro supply would be critically low. "We now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated, and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products," Apple said in a press release last month, confirming reports of disruptions.
One month later and closer to the holidays, iPhone 14 Pro supply seems to have not yet fully recovered. Wait times for both models of the high-end 2022 iPhone series were set at around six weeks one month ago, and are now set at around three weeks. While the situation appears to be ever so slightly improving, the three-week wait time puts the iPhone 14 Pro out of reach for customers looking to have it by the holidays.
While you may be unable to order and get an iPhone 14 Pro for a loved one this holiday season, the rest of Apple's product lineup remains in ample supply. For example, the lower-end iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are estimated to arrive to customers in just a few days, according to Apple's online store, as are the third-generation AirPods and AirPods Pro, new 10th-generation iPad, certain Macs, Apple Watch, and HomePod mini.
For more up-to-date information regarding availability and delivery dates, be sure to check Apple's website.

Careless Driving Tickets
The offence of Careless Driving according to section 130 of the Highway Traffic Act means the driver drove a vehicle or street car on a highway without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway. It is considered to be one of the major violations for any driver in Canada.
Careless driving charge is usually issued to drivers as a result of an accident where police officer was not present and was not able to see what specific driver’s actions led to a motor vehicle accident.
Careless driving ticket covers many different offences such as:
- following too close;
- trying to make a turn at an intersection before amber light signal turns red;
- coming into contact with another vehicle from the back;
- failing to check mirrors before maneuver;
- talking and holding a phone while driving;
- changing lanes on the highway without signaling and speeding at the same time;
- reading a newspaper while standing in traffic on the highway (YES, there are such cases too!), etc.
Careless Driving Penalty Upon Conviction:
- 6 demerit points;
- fine from $490 to max. $2,000;
- imprisonment for up to 6 months;
- possibility of drivers’ licence suspension (max. for 2 years);
- insurance rate increase.
Furthermore, the abovementioned penalties could be much higher and consequences may be much serious. If you’re convicted in careless driving causing death or careless driving causing bodily harm to any person (acc. section 130 (3) of the Highway Traffic Act) you will be liable to:
- fine from $2,000 to max. $50,000;
- imprisonment for up to 2 years;
- or both fine and imprisonment;
- drivers’ licence suspension (max. for 5 years);
- insurance rate increase (sure!).
Having a careless driving conviction on your driver’s licence abstract can be used by your insurance company to increase your insurance premium for up to 6 years. There are two parts to this offence when it comes to dealing with insurance companies:
- Your insurance premium can be increased by 100% more for up to 6 years for any accidents or claims are made.
- Or in case a driver also gets convicted of reckless driving, insurance companies may decide to cancel the driver’s insurance policy and simply refuse to insure then upon the next renewal.
Important: any provincial offences ticket resulting in conviction under highway traffic act remains on your driving history forever. Which means that having a prior record of careless driving can seriously impede your ability to apply for government jobs with police, military or other positions requiring clean driving record.
How to Fight Careless Driving Charge in Ontario
So, how to win a careless driving ticket to ensure you can get the best possible result in order to continue driving. Or possibly even get rid of your charge completely. Here are a few things to know:
- Every case is unique. Therefore, fighting careless driving ticket can’t be won based on same or similar defence your friend’s reckless driving lawyer used in the past to help them beat their charges.
- Careless driving tickets must be filed with the court within 15 days, to request a meeting with a prosecutor or trial date depending on specific court location.
- Careless driving charge can be much more complex matter than a regular speeding offence and courts do not treat them as lightly as minor offences. We strongly advise that you consult with a careless driving lawyer about your defence strategy or help you negotiate the best possible deal with the court without sabotaging your chances because you only get ONE opportunity to defend your rights.
- Prior to your early meeting with a prosecutor you should request or obtain police officer’s evidence that will be used in court to prove your guilt in committing a careless driving offence in front of the justice of the peace.
Most people think that by showing in court and explaining how they followed driving rules will help them get off, but unfortunately they are faced with a situation where this only proves the fact they were actually breaking the law and announce to the court how they meet at least one of the criteria listed in the wording of the careless driving offence which gets them convicted as a result. This tactic does not help anyone to beat careless driving ticket – instead it results in wasted time for all court procedures (it takes at least 2-3 court visits to fight any ticket).
Now, we’ll outline the actual steps associated with fighting any careless driving charge.
Step 1: If you want to get the best possible results, you’ll need a lawyer. Every case has its own nuances and tiny details. For non-professional it might be a real nightmare. At the same time a good specialist will know how to provide you the best possible careless driving defence and ensure your driving record stays clean for as long as possible while reducing your careless driving fine, or even help you to get rid of the charge completely.
Step 2: File the ticket with a court to receive a date with a prosecutor to discuss a possible reduction of your charge to another substitute offence resulting in less or 0 demerit points, but only if you have been satisfied that police officer has good and sound evidence to prove you were guilty of careless driving.
Please note: careless driving ticket paralegals can save you time and money by helping you fight the charges against you without you going to court.
Step 3: Show up at trial prepared to be questioned about every little fact from the day when you were charged with a careless driving offence. And also be ready to ask police officer and other witnesses questions about relevant facts about your charge that would help you draw answers proving that events in your case might have been different than what police officer and other witnesses are suggesting.
When it comes to fighting a careless driving charge you should definitely prepare by researching many other careless driving cases to understand what evidence courts consider when making a decision after trial has been completed.
A methodical strategy must be discussed prior to trial to ensure that your questions and arguments used can be applied in your situation and finally even if you feel that you have a strong case sometimes just knowing which battles to NOT undertake goes a long way to getting the best possible outcomes when it comes to complex trial procedures.
To summarize everything mentioned above, if you are convicted of careless driving, don’t waste your time searching the internet. Just make a call and we’ll prepare the best strategy for you today!

PTSD After A Florida Car Accident?
When people hear of traffic crashes, they immediately think of physical injuries. This is understandable. However, after a traffic collision, some people are left with emotional trauma. For example, it is quite common for car accident survivors to experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In fact, it is believed that traffic accidents have become the leading cause of post-traumatic stress disorder since the Vietnam war. According to research, 9% of survivors of serious collisions develop significant post-traumatic stress symptoms, and many other survivors have PTSD-like reactions.
PTSD is a mental health condition. This condition occurs after someone experiences or witnesses a terrifying event. Many people assume that PTSD is a condition that only veterans deal with. Indeed, PTSD is common among veterans. However, anyone who has experienced or witnessed any terrifying event, such as a car accident, is at risk of developing PTSD. And regarding PTSD after a car accident, it is crucial to note that you can develop this mental condition even if you were in a minor crash.
Symptoms of PTSD
Usually, PTSD symptoms do not start immediately after a car accident. Symptoms of PTSD can take up to months after a car crash to appear.
Unfortunately, PTSD symptoms can interfere with your ability to engage in your normal daily tasks. Symptoms can also cause problems in your relationships and work or social situations.
The following are some of the most common symptoms of this mental condition;
- Flashbacks of the crash
- Difficulty sleeping
- Difficulty concentrating
- Always being on guard for danger
- Feelings of guilt or shame
- Hopelessness about the future
- Being easily startled
- Lack of interest in activities you enjoyed engaging in before your accident.
- Difficulty maintaining close relationships
- Negative thoughts about yourself and others
- Feeling emotionally numb
If you believe you have developed PTSD after your car accident, apart from talking to people you trust, it is vital that you seek medical attention. Like physical injuries, emotional injuries such as PTSD also require treatment. Seeing a physician promptly after noticing symptoms of PTSD can help you reduce the symptoms and the effects of the symptoms. For example, a doctor can prescribe medicine that can help reduce symptoms.
After seeking medical attention, remember to document your treatment. The documentation you keep can help you recover the compensation you deserve once you file a claim against the at-fault party.
Seeking Compensation for PTSD After a Car Accident
If you were seriously hurt in a car crash because of another party’s fault, you might be eligible to recover compensation for the medical expenses associated with your PTSD. You might also be eligible to recover compensation for the emotional distress and inconvenience your PTSD causes you.
Contact a Parkland Personal Injury Lawyer
If you sustained severe injuries in a traffic collision that was another party’s fault and you’ve noticed PTSD symptoms or symptoms of another mental health condition, seek immediate medical attention. After seeing a physician, do not hesitate to contact our Parkland personal injury lawyers at Lyons & Snyder. We can help you determine if you can file a claim against the at-fault party for your condition. If you are eligible to file a claim, we can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

In the fast-paced world of modernity, technology advances at the speed of thought and a significant portion of our social connections are virtual. Social media, while connecting us across vast distances, paradoxically contributes to a sense of detachment from the tangible world as we scroll from one bite-sized clip to another. And when we’re not on the tiny screens, chances are we’re bouncing between the bigger ones, with many of us working 9-5 on computers and enduring the everpresent 24-hour news cycles happening on TV.
In our hyperconnected lives, isolation is a common feeling. There’s a collective yearning for the simplicity and authenticity of days gone by. (Even among those who never experienced them—just look at today’s youth, romanticizing the 1990s.)
Nostalgia, that wistful emotion tied to memories (and ideas) of the past, interrupts our usual feed fodder, ads, and product aesthetics with a soothing balm: a comforting embrace that transports us to simpler times, when life moved at a slower pace, connection happened as a matter of fact in the course of our days, and relationships were cultivated more often face-to-face.
Brands clearly see (and capitalize on) the appeal. Just look at these examples:
Nintendo released the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Classic Mini, modeled after the exact system I played as a kid.
Free People is not only going with a very 90’s aesthetic in the way they’re merchandising their products this year, but they’re adding digital fade filters to photos that were no doubt shot in crisp clean light to make them look like they’re from another time. (Perhaps the era in which I was developing film in my basement?)
The Nerf Retro line exists, first of all. And secondly, celebrates its 30th anniversary with a temporary rerelease of its original blaster.
JNCO jeans are available for purchase again. (My god, the flashbacks I get from wearing those in wet Seattle weather.)
The vintage aesthetic of brand photography, certain product designs, and even packaging across industries of all kinds—it’s reminiscent of an era when craftsmanship and durability were paramount. It transports us to the simpler days of family dinners and homemade meals.
These brands aren’t just selling products; they’re selling a narrative—a story that invites consumers to become part of a larger, shared experience. Through purchase, of course.
Nostalgia, in this context, becomes a potent motivator for consumer action. The desire to reconnect with a romanticized past becomes entwined with the brand itself, inspiring not only emotional engagement but also a willingness to invest in the product. Consumers aren't just buying the product; they're buying an experience, one that promises something more real, more wholesome, more connected than anything else available in modern day.
For brands employing the mechanism in their marketing, maintaining a delicate balance is crucial. To be successful in a lasting way, they have to ensure their use of nostalgia is authentic and resonant rather than a surface-level marketing ploy. When done right, and with products that live up to the associated expectation, brands can foster a genuine connection that goes beyond transactions to create a community of loyal customers who share a collective appreciation for a more intentional way of life. And products that support that goal.
It would be easy to view the marriage of nostalgia and marketing as a cynical manipulation of sentiment for the simple, quick benefit of the brand. There are instances, of course, and I have my days! But the optimistic, still hopeful part of me views it instead as a sincere acknowledgment of the human need for connection and meaning, and a vote with our dollars to move to something more enduring, rooted, and kind.
And for me, that kind of marketing is easy to get behind.
Are you thinking about incorporating elements of nostalgia into your next marketing campaign? Let’s chat about the ways it might work best for your brand. Let’s just promise each other to leave our rain-soaked JNCOs at home?

Practically every radiologist would benefit from an all-encompassing guide to malpractice issues in radiology. Dr. Ronald Eisenberg, a highly respected author in the field, has put together a comprehensive reference to provide radiologists with an introduction to malpractice issues and a basic understanding of their relationships with government regulatory agencies and HMOs. This softcover book will detail the mechanics of a lawsuit, how radiologists can become the object of a malpractice action, and what they can do to minimize potential exposure.
A comprehensive, evidence-based introduction to the area of lymphology, the book is directed mainly to the US audience and will appeal to an interdiscplinary field of health professionals. It describes the unique anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system and the intimate relationship it shares with the venous system. It explores the differential diagnosis of the “swollen leg/arm”, which is often the presenting problem to the health care professional. The necessity of history taking, physical examination and laboratory studies are noted. Treatment methods are described as an introduction and psychosocial and quality of life issues are explored in depth. The book will appeal to primary care physicians whose cancer patients are sent to radiation oncologists (who themselves must be knowledgeable about possible lymphedema following treatment), to medical and surgical oncologists, as well as physical therapists, and every US medical school.
Improving healthcare and staying healthy is one of the most discussed and important issues in our society. Technology has played and will play an important role in many aspects of the healthcare system, and it offers new and better ways to solve the key health problems of the new century.
Philips has a strong and successful healthcare and wellness research program, which has significantly contributed to many health related technology breakthroughs in the past, and which addresses important innovations to shape the future of medical care.

While medical and hygienic developments have driven down the mortality rates of infectious diseases, pathogenic microorganisms are still a major factor in everyday clinical practice. They are still the most frequent cause of death in Third World countries. New and incurable infectious diseases are a worldwide problem. It is inescapable, therefore, that modern medicine must redouble its efforts to understand the relationship between microorganisms and humans and continue to lead the search for new therapies. The following five subject areas are covered:
This book provides a clearly focused and richly detailed review of the entire field of medical microbiology. It is both a textbook for students of medicine and dentistry and a useful companion for medical technicians and laboratory assistants, both at school and in the laboratory. It will also serve as a handy work of reference for clinical practitioners. The book is structured with teachability in mind: The many color illustrations and microscopic images render complex themes readily accessible. Summaries at the beginning of every chapter, a color-coded reference guide and detailed diagnostic tables make this an excellent sourcebook for rapid learning and quick reference. A list of important internet addresses in the appendix will help the book's users keep abreast of cutting-edge research.
This concise, user-oriented and up-to-date desk reference offers a broad introduction to the fascinating world of medical technology, fully considering today’s progress and further development in all relevant fields. The Springer Handbook of Medical Technology is a systemized and well-structured guideline which distinguishes itself through simplification and condensation of complex facts.

It is also meant for graduate and post graduate students in hospital management, medical engineering, and medical physics.
The practice of radiology education: challenges and trends will provide truly helpful gu- ance for those of you involved in teaching and training in radiology. The goal of this book is ultimately to improve patient care. As a companion piece to the first book radiology education: the scholarship of teaching and learning, this book focuses on applying the concepts at a practical level that can be applied flexibly within educational programs for radiology residents and fellows in any medical imaging learning environment. This book focuses on the application of scholarship in terms of the “dissemination of useful, testable and reproducible information to others. ” It links educational theory with practice and for those of you who wish to explore educational practice further, a number of chapters s- gest additional readings and resources. The publication is timely and congruent with one of the most important twenty-first century trends in medical education: the move from amateurism to professionalism in teaching. In the past, medical schools and other health professions’ training institutions have been criticized for their resistance to the adoption of the science of medical edu- tion. Very few of us learned how to teach as medical students and most of us have our teaching responsibilities thrust on us with little preparation. The award of a basic medical degree was assumed to carry with it basic teaching expertise, unfortunately an unw- ranted assumption in some cases.
Radiology Fundamentals is a concise introduction to the dynamic field of radiology for medical students, non-radiology house staff, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiology assistants, and other allied health professionals. The goal of the book is to provide readers with general examples and brief discussions of basic radiographic principles and to serve as a curriculum guide, supplementing a radiology education and providing a solid foundation for further learning. Introductory chapters provide readers with the fundamental scientific concepts underlying the medical use of imaging modalities and technology, including ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine. The main scope of the book is to present concise chapters organized by anatomic region and radiology sub-specialty that highlight the radiologist’s role in diagnosing and treating common diseases, disorders, and conditions. Highly illustrated with images and diagrams, each chapter in Radiology Fundamentals begins with learning objectives to aid readers in recognizing important points and connecting the basic radiology concepts that run throughout the text. It is the editors’ hope that this valuable, up-to-date resource will foster and further stimulate self-directed radiology learning—the process at the heart of medical education.
Learning surgery has become a daunting task. Although the basic surgical c- cepts remain durable and unchanged, the past several years have brought rapid growth of new knowledge in all of the surgical disciplines. Some surgical pro- dures have disappeared. Peptic ulcer disease and portal hypertension were once the source of a plethora of surgical interventions; now surgery is rarely necessary for either. New interventions have been developed. Gastric bypass for morbid obesity, once a rare procedure, has become one of the most commonly performed pro- dure. New technology has made operations less invasive but more complex and the knowledge requirements for new technology are very different than that required for conventional surgery. The Illustrated Handbook of General Surgery has been created to allow medical students and residents learning surgery to assimilate, in a rapid and succinct manner, the anatomy and operative techniques associated with the most common surgical interventions. We are proud that all of the chapters have been edited and c- tributed by the faculty of the University of Wisconsin. The Department of Surgery at UW is comprised of almost 80 faculty, with nationally recognized expertise in every specialty. The essence of this text is its portability as well as its conciseness.
The two-volume set LNCS 3749 and LNCS 3750 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2005, held in Palm Springs, CA, USA, in October 2005. Based on rigorous peer reviews the program committee selected 237 carefully revised full papers from 632 submissions for presentation in two volumes. The first volume includes all the contributions related to image analysis and validation, vascular image segmentation, image registration, diffusion tensor image analysis, image segmentation and analysis, clinical applications - validation, imaging systems - visualization, computer assisted diagnosis, cellular and molecular image analysis, physically-based modeling, robotics and intervention, medical image computing for clinical applications, and biological imaging - simulation and modeling. The second volume collects the papers related to robotics, image-guided surgery and interventions, image registration, medical image computing, structural and functional brain analysis, model-based image analysis, image-guided intervention: simulation, modeling and display, and image segmentation and analysis.

A one year field trial was carried out on three adjacent unfertilised plots; an 18 year old grassland, a 14 year old established Miscanthus crop, and a 7 month old newly planted Miscanthus crop. Measurements of N2O, soil temperature, water filled pore space (WFPS), and inorganic nitrogen concentrations, were made every one to two weeks. Soil temperature, WFPS and NO3− and NH4+ concentrations were all found to be significantly affected by land use.
The objective of this article was to develop a deeper understanding of the interdependences between smallholder farming and the state of environmental management in rural Malawi. We examined the agricultural local governance framework in Malingunde Extension Planning Area (EPA), its contribution to food security and how it conflicts with overall land and forest resources management. The charcoal production process was discussed in line with its implications for agricultural production and environmental sustainability.
Intensity Analysis has become popular as a top-down hierarchical accounting framework to analyze differences among categories, such as changes in land categories over time. Some aspects of interpretation are straightforward, while other aspects require deeper thought. This article explains how to interpret Intensity Analysis with respect to four concepts. First, we illustrate how to analyze whether error could account for non-uniform changes. Second, we explore two types of the large dormant category phenomenon. Third, we show how results can be sensitive to the selection of the domain.
In order to address the challenges in coastal regions, there is the need to understand the extent and impacts of past changes and their implications for future management. Land use data and remotely-sensed imagery are often used to provide insights into these changes. Often, however, existing land use data are inconsistent, thus differences observed through their analyses could also be attributable to error. The use of multiple layers of data, in addition and as related to basic land use layers, has been suggested in the literature as a method to mitigate such error.
Future forest cover changes were simulated under the business-as-usual (BAU), pessimistic and optimistic scenarios using the Markov-cellular automata (MCA) model in Pakxeng district, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR). The Markov chain analysis was used to compute transition probabilities from satellite-derived forest cover maps (1993, 1996, 2000 and 2004), while the “weights of evidence” procedure was used to generate transition potential (suitability) maps.
Estimating deforested areas and deforestation rates have become key steps for quantifying environmental services of tropical rain forests, particularly as linked to programs such as Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). In Southeastern Peru, reliable estimates of land-cover change (LCC) are important for monitoring changes in the landscape due to agricultural expansion, pasture creation and other socio-economic influences triggered by the Inter-Oceanic Highway (IOH).
Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, has expanded rapidly over the past decade. Insufficient authority is in place to address this expansion, and many residential plots have been developed in the peripheral regions of the city. The aim of this study is to estimate changes in land cover within the central part of Ulaanbaatar, which has been affected by anthropogenic disturbances.
Land change in the Greater Antilles differs markedly among countries because of varying socioeconomic histories and global influences. We assessed land change between 2001 and 2010 in municipalities (second administrative units) of Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Our analysis used annual land-use/land-cover maps derived from MODIS satellite imagery to model linear change in woody vegetation, mixed-woody/plantations and agriculture/herbaceous vegetation. Using this approach, we focused on municipalities with significant change (p ≤ 0.05).
Long-term intensive land use/cover changes (LUCCs) of the Yellow River Delta (YRD) have been happening since the 1960s. The land use patterns of the LUCCs are crucial for bio-diversity conservation and/or sustainable development. This study quantified patterns of the LUCCs, explored the systematic transitions, and identified wetland change trajectory for the period 1976–2014 in the YRD. Landsat imageries of 1976, 1984, 1995, 2006, and 2014 were used to derive nine land use classes.
Pokhara is one of the most naturally beautiful cities in the world with a unique geological setting. This important tourist city is under intense pressure from rapid urbanization and population growth. Multiple hazards and risks are rapidly increasing in Pokhara due to unsustainable land use practices, particularly the increase in built-up areas. This study examines the relationship among urbanization, land use/land cover dynamics and multiple hazard and risk analysis of the Pokhara valley from 1990 to 2013.

Download and read online Debating Otaku in Contemporary Japan in PDF and EPUB With the spread of manga (Japanese comics) and anime (Japanese cartoons) around the world, many have adopted the Japanese term 'otaku' to identify fans of such media. The connection to manga and anime may seem straightforward, but, when taken for granted, often serves to obscure the debates within and around media fandom in Japan since the term 'otaku' appeared in the niche publication Manga Burikko in 1983. Debating Otaku in Contemporary Japan disrupts the naturalization and trivialization of 'otaku' by examining the historical contingency of the term as a way to identify and contain problematic youth, consumers and fan cultures in Japan. Its chapters, many translated from Japanese and available in English for the first time Â? and with a foreword by Otsuka Eiji, former editor of Manga Burikko Â? explore key moments in the evolving discourse of 'otaku' in Japan. Rather than presenting a smooth, triumphant narrative of the transition of a subculture to the mainstream, the edited volume repositions 'otaku' in specific historical, social and economic contexts, providing new insights into the significance of the 'otaku' phenomenon in Japan and the world. By going back to original Japanese documents, translating key contributions by Japanese scholars and offering sustained analysis of these documents and scholars, Debating Otaku in Contemporary Japan provides alternative histories of and approaches to 'otaku'. For all students and scholars of contemporary Japan and the history of Japanese fan and consumer cultures, this volume will be a foundation for understanding how 'otaku', at different places and times and to different people, is meaningful.

Morning Coffee: Wall Street Job Cuts on the Decline
Firms are still cutting jobs in the financial services sector; that much is obvious. But job cuts aren’t as prevalent as they were a year ago. In fact, it’s not even close, suggesting that industry-wide purging of Wall Street talent may be close to nearing its end. Maybe.
Roughly 22,500 job cuts have been announced by the world’s 50 largest banks in 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. This compares to the 106,000 that were disclosed in the final five months of 2011, after the mess that is Europe began to infiltrate the global economy.
Wall Street firms, once bloated with unsustainable headcounts, have eliminated the majority of their redundancies and appear more stable, highlighted by strong third quarter performances by several top U.S. banks.
But the impending U.S. “fiscal cliff,” set to occur in 2013 when planned tax increases and spending cuts hit the U.S. economy simultaneously, leaves open the possibility of further job cuts, and not just in financial services. Companies across all industries are waiting with bated breath to see how steep the cliff will be.
Greg Jensen, the former Bridgewater Associates intern who now runs the world’s largest hedge fund, comes in at number five on CNNMoney’s “Top 40 Under 40” List. The 38-year-old CEO ranked only behind a handful of young technology executives.
Citigroup's third quarter profit fell 88% on the back of a 33% drop in revenue, but it’s not all bad news. Excluding several onetime charges, the U.S. bank’s operating profit soundly beat Wall Street expectations with help from its improving mortgage business and rising capital markets revenue.
J.P. Morgan Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said last week that the housing market had turned the corner. Citigroup CFO John Gerspach isn’t so sure, noting that “some rather significant challenges” remain.
UBS was forced to fire roughly 550 employees, mostly in 2011, due to the actions of Kweku Adoboli, the rogue UBS trader whose unauthorized trading cost the Swiss bank $2.3 billion.

|Royal Military School of Music|
|Active||1857 – present|
The Royal Military School of Music (RMSM) trains musicians for the British Army's fourteen regular bands, as part of the Royal Corps of Army Music. It is based at Kneller Hall, in Twickenham, west London; however, the Ministry of Defence has recently indicated that the site will be sold, and the school moved elsewhere.
The RMSM was established in 1857 at the instigation of Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, who was Queen Victoria's cousin and commander-in-chief of the army. In 1854, during the Crimean War, he attended a parade in Scutari, Turkey to celebrate the Queen's birthday, where approximately 20 British Army bands on parade were required to combine in a performance of the national anthem. The custom at this time was for regiments to hire civilian bandmasters, each of whom had free rein in their band's instrumentation and arrangements. With each band playing God Save the Queen simultaneously in different instrumentations, pitches, arrangements and key signatures, the result was an embarrassing and humiliating cacophony. The Duke decided there should be some standardisation in army music, and so formed the RMSM, with Henry Schallehn (who also became the first director of music at the Crystal Palace) as commandant. For several years in the late 19th century, the commandant was Colonel T. B. Shaw-Hellier, owner of the Hellier Stradivarius.
In 1937 the school commissioned a new set of custom-made fanfare trumpets, designed by Lt-Col. Hector Adkins (Director of Music 1923-1941), along with a matching set of valved trombones. First appearing at the Coronation of King George VI that year, the Kneller Hall Trumpeters went on to be a regular feature of state occasions and national celebrations throughout the twentieth century. A distinctive banner, designed for the School by Kruger Gray, was hung from each instrument and made the trumpeters very recognisable: it consisted of a shield displaying three clarions beneath a crown.
The school is open to men and women whose commitment to the army is for a minimum of four years. The Corps of Army Music, the largest employer of musicians in the United Kingdom, promotes itself to potential recruits as an opportunity to earn a salary as a musician. The school's curriculum is not limited to martial music, but includes jazz, swing, middle-of-the-road, popular, baroque, mainstream symphonic and operatic music.
Museum of Army Music
The Museum of Army Music at Kneller Hall has a collection of instruments, music, banners, medals, model bands, documents, prints, manuscripts, paintings and uniforms illustrating the history of military music. It is open to the public Wednesday afternoons and by appointment.

That’s not likely to change.Whatever way it’s measured, he’s not doing too well. Gallup has his retrospective approval at 47 percent; that’s third-lowest in the polling era, better than only Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson (Harry Enten has more on placing post-presidential approval in context). As far as historians and other students of the presidency, it’s even worse; Bush falls in the bottom quarter of the ratings surveys in which he’s been included.

Newrange Gold Corp. [NRG-TSXV; NRGOF-OTCQB; X6C-FSE] said Wednesday June 5 that it has negotiated a non-binding agreement to sell its wholly-owned Colombian subsidiary together with its El Dovio and Anori exploration projects in Colombia to privately-owned Australian company Andean Mining Corp. Pty. Ltd.
Newrange said the deal does not include a third project – the Yarumalito gold-porphyry property – which the company said it will retain for the time being.
Subject to due diligence, Andean will pay Newrange US$1 million in staged payments within nine months, together with certain other considerations.
“This agreement provides non-dilutive financing, allows Newrange to focus its resources on the company’s highly prospective Pamlico gold project in Nevada, eliminates the costs of maintaining the Colombian subsidiary and projects, and maintains exposure to the upside in each of these projects through share ownership and retained production royalties,” said Newrange Chairman Robert Carrington.
Newrange shares were unchanged at 13 cents on Wednesday and trade in a 52-week range of $0.07 and 25 cents.
In October 2018, Newrange said it entered into a joint venture deal with Andean Mining, giving the Australian company the option to earn a 65% stake in the El Dovio Project in return for cash and share payments plus exploration work commitments.
The property covers high-grade polymetallic gold-silver-copper-zinc mineralization in a belt of marine volcano-sedimentary rocks known to host other polymetallic and volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) prospects and mines. Newrange has said exploration at El Dovio indicates significant potential to discover deposits with high unit value and low metal price sensitivity.
The 100%-owned Yarumalito Project covers 1,456 hectares of a large dominant porphyry complex composed of multiple intrusive centers. It is located 11 air-km north of the famed Marmato District, along with what is commonly termed the “Mid Cauca Belt,” a segment of the Andean Porphyry Belt that stretches through Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Panama.
Exploration work to date has consisted of property-wide geochemical and geophysical surveys, extensive geological mapping and more than 18,000 metres of diamond drilling. This work has defined a large mineralized zone measuring over 400 metres wide, 1,000 metres in length and open to a depth below 385 metres.
Newrange was focused on gold exploration in Colombia until the opportunity came up in 2016 to acquire the Pamlico property, which is located in one of Nevada’s historic gold districts, not far from the famous Comstock Lode.
Carrington grasped the opportunity because he believed Pamlico offered his company the chance to explore and develop a district-scale, near surface, potentially high-grade gold deposit in multiple target areas.
Under a July 2016, agreement Newrange obtained the option to purchase a 100% interest in the Pamlico property. At that time, only 103 shallow holes had been drilled in the entire property.
Exploration to date has been insufficient to define a mineral resource that would meet NI 43-101 standards of disclosure; however, Carrington believes that could soon change if Newrange can complete enough drilling to produce a gold resource estimate.
