I didn't want to type the words, but I had to. Hesitantly, I plunked out the first sentence, Italian climbing prodigy Tito Claudio Traversa has passed away after taking a 50-foot ground fall. As the online editor for Rock and Ice, this was not the first death I had reported, but somehow this particular accident seemed worse than any others.
Maybe the reason this news cut so deep was because Tito was only 12 years old. Or maybe it was because just a few days prior to Traversa's death, 8a.nu reported that he had climbed his fourth 5.14a, showing he had so much promise as a climber. But after a weekend of marinating in the thoughts and online discussions of why and how Traversa died, I believe that the most disturbing element of Traversa's death was how the accident actually happened.
On July 3, Traversa—along with nine other kids and three adults—visited a popular limestone cliff in Orpierre, France. As reported by the French website Grimper.com, Traversa decided to warm up on a 5.10d. Borrowing quickdraws recently purchased by the mother of his climbing partner, Traversa climbed the pitch and placed 12 draws on the route. However, when he weighted the top draw, it failed as did the seven draws below that one. Traversa fell to the ground. He was airlifted to Grenoble, France, where he was hospitalized and placed in a medically induced comma due to his head trauma. Three days later, on July 5, he died and left the climbing world saddened and wondering what the hell had happened.
Grimper.com reported that the borrowed draws were slung incorrectly, yet few other details have been released. According to Grimper's report, the draws were attached only to the "keepers," devices that are usually made of plastic or rubber and are meant to keep the carabiner from crossloading and protect the nylon sling from wear. If only the keepers, which can't hold bodyweight, were clipped, when Traversa lowered, they pulled off of the draws or broke.
Regardless, the lack of hard info pertaining to this shocking and tragic accident has led to much speculation within the climbing community and many people have tried to place blame. Some have argued that there was inadequate supervision. It's worth noting, however, that three kids to one adult is a common ratio among professional guides. In fact, some institutions use a ratio of six kids to one adult.
Others have cited the gear as the problem. In fact, this isn't the first time this mistake has been made. Perhaps it's worth thinking about redesigning the system of external rubber/plastic keepers in order to mitigate the possibility of human error. At this time, we don't know what brand of gear Traversa was using and until this information becomes available, all theories regarding the gear are speculation.
All we do know is that Traversa's accident was apparently due to human error. We don't know if he was unsupervised. We don't know if or how many times the quickdraws he borrowed were checked and why the problem wasn't noticed.
Troubleshooting this horrible accident is a profitable exercise only if we do so objectively. For now the sad truth is that on Friday, July 5, the climbing community lost a beautifully talented young climber. Traversa had climbed 5.13b at age 8, 5.14a at age 10, and was part of Italy's burgeoning future. But just as the climbing community is a non-selective group, open to anyone who loves our sport, death is equally non-selective. It is time to learn from Traversi's accident and raise awareness of potentially deadly climbing mistakes.
Any new information regarding Traversa's accident will be posted immediately. Also, please watch the video below to become aware of the possible dangers regarding incorrect usage of keepers on both sewn and open-sling quickdraws.
8a.nu reports today that the mountain police who inspected the scene of Traversa's accident have provided this quickdraw (see picture below) to the father of Traversa as an example (Note: this is not the actual quickdraw but an "example") of how he could have fallen 20 meters (65 feet) from the top of the route. The report, however, is still vague as to whether or not this quickdraw set-up is the same kind Traversa had borrowed.
Also, Grimper.com has released more photos regarding the details of Traversa's accident. However, a rough translation states that "the installation of the draws was conducted by way of example with components that are not implicated in the case." None of the quickdraws in these pictures from both 8a.nu and Grimper.com are the actual quickdraws Traversa was using, but the implications are that this is a possible scenario to the tragedy.

Of all the values that college life teaches, sharing is a big one. Especially when it comes to food. And, more specifically, sharing the dorm or house refrigerator. It can be the beginning of a beautiful friendship or a source of constant misery.
As kids move into the dorms or a house near the campus this month, here are some pros and cons (from Debbie's daughters, Sammy and Leah), followed by 12 tips on nudging things in the direction of a happy sharing.
- If the fridge breaks, our landlord can fix it, and we don't have to worry about getting a new one. (Said the 4th generation of Mrs.G's).
- You run out of beer space.
So how do you keep this partnership on the sunny side?
12. Be a mensch. You have to live with your roommate so try to be a little more understanding in the fridge and in life.
Ah yes, the square fridges. Definitely made for eating a lot of non-perishable food instead.
I remember my roommates always yelling at me to help clean the fridge (and apartment) in college! Good thing I was fun!
I don't like sharing food (I get grossed out easily!), so this was very hard for me.

Philip Klasky for reviewing prior to publication.
In the southern reaches of the Mojave Desert, just west of the Colorado River and near the town of Needles, Ward Valley is the traditional homeland of the Fort Mojave, Chemehuevi, Cocopah, Quechan and Colorado River tribes. Six separate mountain ranges form a crown around this high desert valley, where species have evolved in relative isolation. The geographically isolated habitats of Ward Valley and its surrounding mountains harbor surprising biodiversity, including red-tailed hawks, yucca, creosote, screwbean mesquite trees, jackrabbits, kit fox and the 65-million-year-old desert tortoise Gopherus agassizii, which is listed as a threatened species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
The Mojave people or Pipah Aha Macav ("guardians of the river") live on 42,000 acres of reservation land ranging across the California, Arizona and Nevada borders. The Mojave and their neighbors, the Chemehuevi (Nuwu) or Southern Paiute, tell stories of a vast trading network they shared with peoples from as far away as the Pacific Coast to the Colorado Plateau and the Sonoran Desert. This history is told through song cycles or "storyscapes" that detail travel routes across massive mountain ranges and broad deserts and, in similar fashion to Australian Aboriginal "dreamings," tell of the migration of birds, celestial events, and available foods and water along the way. According to some native stories, the sacred Spirit Mountain (Avi Kwa Me), north of Ward Valley, is where the Mojave people originated and where the tribe's departed souls will rest, having first traveled a pathway through the valley. The desert tortoise is culturally important to the Mojave and appears in the tribe's clan names, traveling songs and creation story. It was this endangered creature that brought Indian tribes and environmental groups together in their efforts to designate critical habitat for the tortoise and stop the nuclear waste dump at Ward Valley.
In 1992 the State of California, under then Gov. Pete Wilson, asked the federal government to sell the state 1,000 acres of land administered by the Bureau of Land Management in order to build a low-level nuclear waste dump. Such dumps are intended to receive items like hospital waste, including radioactive film, and equipment used at nuclear reactors. The dump would occupy some 90 acres, with the remaining land used primarily as a buffer zone. In 1992, shortly before the exit of the Bush administration, Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan agreed to transfer the federally owned land to California, and in September 1993 the state issued a license for the new dump to the radioactive waste-disposal company US Ecology.
Public opinion, however, was against the project. Statewide polls showed that 70 percent of Californians opposed the dump, in part due to fears that Ward Valley would become a national nuclear waste repository. Although proponents suggested that most of the waste would be relatively benign, activists argued that the majority of the waste slated for Ward Valley would be highly dangerous byproducts from nuclear reactors and that the so-called low-level waste could contain elements such as cesium, strontium and plutonium, which remain radioactive for long periods of time. Heightening concern was the danger that the waste, which would be buried in shallow unlined trenches, could leak and thus contaminate an aquifer that communicates directly with the Colorado River, 18 miles away, which provides drinking water to some 24 million Southern Californians. Scientists and tribal leaders also cited the devastating impact that the dump—with the potential for radioactive leakage and unavoidable increase in human traffic—would have on the fragile desert, and especially on the desert tortoise.
In November 1993, amid growing public outcry, the new interior secretary of the Clinton administration, Bruce Babbitt, rescinded the land-transfer decision, ordering a postponement of further action until the resolution of two lawsuits claiming that the land transfer plan was not in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and that it failed to protect the desert tortoise. Babbit also called for further study of the site to address the safety concerns. In late 1994, as a result of legal action brought by the Bay Area Nuclear (BAN) Waste Coalition and others, Ward Valley received federal designation as a critical habitat for the threatened tortoise.
In June 1995, after the National Academy of Sciences released a report indicating that groundwater contamination from the proposed dump was unlikely, Babbit conditionally approved the land transfer. However, California refused to accept all the terms, and negotiations reached an impasse. Republicans in Congress took up the Ward Valley issue and tied clearance of the project to a budget-reconciliation package, ignoring protests against the waste site, including those of California Sen. Barbara Boxer. However, the legislation was blocked by President Clinton's veto, influenced in part by a national citizens' campaign that brought together Native American, environmental and government watchdog groups and overwhelmed the White House with letters and calls.
In October 1995 the Mojave and their neighbors, the Quechan, Chemehuevi and Cocopah, having formed the Colorado River Native Nations Alliance, began holding ongoing religious ceremonies and protests at the proposed dump site. The Alliance and the larger coalition pilloried US Ecology for its poor history with leaking dumps and litigation across the nation, which reinforced fears that nuclear waste would end up destroying the economic, cultural and environmental lifeblood of the desert, the Colorado River.
The Alliance hosted several traditional Spirit Runs, where young relay runners from Fort Mojave Reservation ran 30 miles from Ward Valley to the Old Woman Mountains behind the feather-adorned staff of a lead runner. In the first run, participants carried a resolution drafted by the Alliance calling for Clinton and Babbitt to meet personally with the tribal leaders on a government-to-government basis in order to consult with the tribes about the use of their traditional lands. These runs captured tremendous media attention. Environmental groups, including the Ward Valley Coalition, Greenpeace and the BAN Waste Coalition, and the community-action group Save Ward Valley worked with the Alliance to raise public awareness of the issue.
In 1996 the Clinton administration, prompted by further concerns over radioactive waste leaks, ordered further geologic testing at the site. Another Congressional bill, which would force the land transfer, failed to reach the Senate floor because of strong opposition from California senators. After extensive study and advocacy by tribes and environmental justice groups, the Environmental Justice Advisory Council advised against the dump; however, the plans were not cancelled and the EPA did not negotiate with the tribes. Meanwhile, litigation over the site continued, with US Ecology and the State of California suing the federal government to force it to turn over the land.
In February 1998 the U.S. government ordered the tribes and their supporters to leave the protest camp—which they had occupied continuously since October 1995 and had dubbed "Nobody's Wasteland"—and attempted to close the site to the public to conduct testing for the movement of radionuclides in the desert region, which was required before construction of a disposal facility could begin. In response to the government's action, the Alliance and its partners, including the American Indian Movement, led a nonviolent occupation of the camp, keeping seven fires alight as places for people to gather and sing. After 113 days of occupation, the government suspended the testing and rescinded the eviction notice.
Ultimately, the coalition of groups succeeded in stopping the proposed radioactive waste dump. In April 1999 a federal judge, in response to the suit filed by US Ecology and California, ruled that Babbit had acted appropriately in rescinding the land transfer to the state. Gray Davis, Wilson's successor as governor of California, decided not to appeal the decision and ultimately gave up the state's request for the federal land. US Ecology, claiming breach of contract, filed and subsequently lost a lawsuit against the state. Citing safety issues, the California State Assembly in 2002 passed Assembly Bill 221, which canceled the Ward Valley Project. Every year, the five Colorado River Indian tribes and the Ward Valley Coalition celebrate the victory with a gathering that continues to advocate for the protection of this special place.
The Ward Valley struggle is an important example of collaboration between tribal communities and environmental-justice groups toward a common goal. The environmental-justice framework for the campaign asserted Native American sovereignty and human rights and the protection of sacred sites, and served as a critique of nuclear power and the threats to Indian peoples and their lands.

This has come up in many chat rooms and Facebook groups, especially those with a large international membership. Tipping is not common around the world and many international guests have caught themselves confused and/or unprepared for what is to be expected of them as guests in America.
Florida law allows certain positions to be categorized as tipped employees and can be paid $3 per hour less than the normal minimum wage.
With the exception of Special Shows – Disney Dinner shows like the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue, Mickey's Backyard BBQ, and Disney's Spirit of Aloha Show all include tax and gratuity. Likewise, the fixed-price to dine at Cinderella's Royal Table includes tax and gratuity, as well as an imaging package.
Those Cast Members in positions that are not categorized by Walt Disney World as tipped are required to refuse tips from guests. If you receive exemplary service from a Cast Member in a position that is not tipped, your best option is to go to Guest Relations and ask for the Great Service Fanatic Card. This isn't just a way to say thanks but is important in receiving official (internal) recognition and can even be a factor in promotions.
For luggage handling, a tip of $1 or $2 per bag is normally expected. This tipping expense applies to any service person who handles your luggage. This includes individuals at the airport, on Disney's Magical Express, and at the resort where you are staying. Tips for luggage handling should be in cash.
How much to tip, who to tip and even which restaurants accept tips are usually the greatest challenges facing those that are unaccustomed to the tipping culture in North America. While Quick service and Counter service employees are not expecting a gratuity, Table service and those being seated as a large party, however, do. Here's the breakdown.
Parties of 6 or more – An 18% gratuity is automatically added to your bill for parties of six or more.
Magical Express Drivers, Limo or Town Car Drivers, Taxis/Uber, Minnie Vans; a tip of about 15% is typical.
If you're staying in a Club Level room with special dedicated concierge service, you'll want to tip according to your usage of the service, the length of your stay, and the number of people in your party. Fifty or 100 dollars, or much more, is not unheard of if you've made extensive use of their personal attention.
If you're just having drinks, $2-3 dollars per drink is the right amount. If you're also getting food, go with 18-20%.
A gratuity of 15-20% is customary in all room service situations, and Disney is no different.
A 15-20% gratuity is typical for spa services. This includes the services at the Harmony Barber Shop, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and the Pirate's League in addition to resort spa locations. (Note: the Harmony Barber Shop only accepts cash tips.
Regardless of your personal feelings on tipping, don't take that out on service industry workers in tipped positions.

Q: Hotel availability search query on MYSQL I am just having a little problem for calculating the total price of each room by hotel.
For example:
ROOM_1_TOTAL would be 170 on each row where Hotel_ID is 1.
ROOM_2_TOTAL would be 170 on each row where Hotel_ID is 1.
ROOM_1_TOTAL would be 10 on each row where Hotel_ID is 2.(I m sure, it is not working)
ROOM_2_TOTAL would be 10 on each row where Hotel_ID is 2.(For sure, it is not working)

STREAMING VERSUS BUYING – WHAT AGES?
Reading the result of this study further showed that 51 of people aged 15-19 also use all of the streaming outlets available to them to find new music, shunning 'traditional' radio. However, older listeners still tune in to terrestrial and satellite radio, and discover new music that way. No big surprise, right? Here's the interesting part – younger people ARE paying for music. The analysts of another study (https://s101.ws/3z2k) found that 46 of US respondents ages 18-24 paid for music in the past month, which was higher than respondents ages 45-54 (26) and 65+ (12). The data showed that as people get older, they are less likely to pay for music, which contradicts the accepted thinking that the younger generation just stream.
WHAT CAN INDEPENDENT ARTISTS DO TO GET NOTICED?
All this information makes you think about how artists breaking into music can make money as their careers develop. Certainly touring, but also investigating corporate partnerships for exposure.
The takeaway is to make sure you're not only aware of the audience you want to reach with your music, but to also investigate all the best ways TO reach them. You may be surprised how many opportunities there are to 'scratch someone's back." The more knowledgeable you are, the more control you will have over your career.

Q: When should x.509 certificate validity should be checked? we want to use openssl lib in our communications with certificates for mutual authentication.
we have setup a CA, with subca and certificates for clients & server.
upon connection it is easy to check the certificate validity: starting date, expiration date, signature, CRL.
but let say the communication once establish drag on and one of the certificates expires, should the communication be closed ?
What if a certificate becomes compromised ? we will have the CRL updated, should we check the CRL for every packet ?
Checking the expiration date should be fairly fast, so could be ok to do on every read/write.
Checking the CRL is a bit more involved and I think could slow down communication a lot.
this is why I wonder what should be done ?
some of our certificates can last for a year, which could means that CRL could grow a lot if many certificates becomes compromised!

More suspicious packages arrive in California, intended for Sen. Kamala Harris and activist Tom Steyer
Officials are examining suspicious packages mailed to U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and billionaire political activist Tom Steyer.

Reporting from SACRAMENTO —
Federal and local authorities on Friday were examining suspicious packages that were mailed to U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and billionaire political activist Tom Steyer, an outspoken critic of President Trump.
The discovery comes two days after another suspicious device addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters was found a Los Angeles mail facility, part of a string of mail attacks of prominent Democrats and critics of President Trump.
Harris' spokeswoman, Lily Adams, said a postal employee discovered the package at a mail facility in south Sacramento and reported it to authorities. The post office is south of downtown, several miles from Harris' Sacramento field office.
"Our office was informed that a suspicious package was addressed to the senator similar to those that have been sent to other elected officials," Adams said.
By noon, helicopters were buzzing over the quiet residential neighborhood, and roads were blocked off for two streets in each direction around the small post office. Dozens of residents living nearby were evacuated.
A U.S. Postal Inspector command post van was parked in front of the building, while a Sacramento Fire Department ambulance was out back, where the investigation appeared centered.
"This neighborhood is usually really quiet. This is surprising," said Jason Benik, who lives near the post office.
"The way things are going, it could be anything," he said of the heated rhetoric in the country.
Sacramento County sheriff's officials say the Harris package contained a legitimate explosive device, similar to those sent earlier in the week to high-profile political targets.
The FBI said its bomb technicians rendered the package safe. Sean Ragan, the special agent in charge of the Sacramento office, said the package is being sent to the FBI's lab in Quantico, Va., while analysis is likely being sent to the FBI's New York office. Authorities at the scene said the device could have been very dangerous.
"It was really good work by the postal employees in identifying that as suspicious and calling in law enforcement," Ragan said Friday during a news conference with the Sheriff's Department, postal inspectors and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Investigators also were examining another package found in Burlingame, Calif., south of San Francisco, that was addressed to Steyer, who previously has advocated for the impeachment of President Trump and has more recently been pushing young voters to participate in the midterm elections.
On Friday, a Florida man was detained in connection with the spate of suspicious, potentially explosive devices that have been sent to prominent critics of Trump in recent days.
Ragan urged the public and postal workers to be on the lookout for other suspicious packages despite a suspect's arrest.
"That is a concern of ours that there may be other packages," he said.
Steyer warned the bomb scares are part of a wider assault on American democracy.
"We are seeing a systematic attack on our democracy and our rule of law that extends much further than just one isolated terrorist in Florida," he said. "Whether it's voter suppression, voter intimidation, attacks on our free press, gerrymandering or attempted violence — the trust and norms that are the actual basis for our civil society and political system are being eroded."
Packages containing makeshift pipe bombs and addressed to high-profile political targets, including former President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, set off a wave of panic Wednesday. Late in the day, a similar package addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) was found at a South L.A. mail facility.
FBI officials said the device was similar to those recovered in New York, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, and consisted of a plastic pipe containing shrapnel and a pyrotechnic material.
Waters also was sent a suspicious package destined for her Washington office that was intercepted at a Maryland mail facility.
Despite the mailings, Waters — one of Trump's fiercest critics — said she would not stop rallying or speaking out against the president.
"We have to keep doing what we're doing in order to make this country right. That's what I intend to do, and as the young people said, 'I ain't scared,'" she told the website Blavity.
On Friday, an FBI SWAT team took Cesar Sayoc Jr. into custody in Plantation, Fla., according to law enforcement officials.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said Sayoc, 56, initially was identified using a fingerprint found on one of the envelopes mailed to Waters. Investigators then linked two DNA samples taken from the devices sent to Obama and Waters to a sample taken from Sayoc in connection with an earlier arrest in Florida, Wray said.
In a criminal complaint filed against Sayoc, the Department of Justice identified 13 packages linked to him, including the package mailed to Harris.
Harris' office said that amid the anxiety spread by the suspicious mailings, politicians should be focused on uniting Americans right now, now dividing them.
"At this moment, it is incumbent upon leaders across the political spectrum to take seriously the power they hold," Adams said. "It is the responsibility of our leaders to use their role as public figures to elevate our discourse and bring people together."
Times staff writers Sarah D. Wire in Washington, D.C, and Patrick McGreevy in Sacramento contributed to this report.

Jeanne Moreau (French pronunciation: [ʒan mɔˈʁo]; born 23 January 1928) is a French actress, singer, screenwriter and director. She is the recipient of a César Award for Best Actress, a BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress and a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award for individual performances, and several lifetime awards. Moreau made her theatrical debut in 1947, and established herself as one of the leading actresses of the Comédie-Française. She began playing small roles in films in 1949 and eventually achieved prominence as the star of Lift to the Scaffold (UK)/Elevator to the Gallows (USA) (1958), directed by Louis Malle and Jules et Jim (1962), directed by François Truffaut. Most prolific during the 1960s, Moreau continues to appear in films to the present day. Moreau was born in Paris, the daughter of Katherine (née Buckley), a dancer who performed at the Folies Bergère, and Anatole-Désiré Moreau, a restaurateur. Moreau's father was French and her mother was English, a native of Lancashire in England and of part-Irish descent. Moreau's father was Catholic and her mother, originally a Protestant, converted to Catholicism upon marriage.

**Blurb**
Saddled with a job she hates and a detestable boss she likes even less, Adeline Reynolds could use a break. It doesn't look like she'll get one today. Her service dog, Coco, is alerting her she's about to have an epileptic seizure—and her frustrated blind date has left her to deal on her own. Enter firefighter Dean Christopherson, who escorts her to the nearby fire station, where she can suffer through her ordeal safe from injury and prying eyes.
Dean—known as "Crash" to his friends—didn't expect to find The One in a diner during his lunch break, but he's blindsided by the beautiful, brave Adeline. She brings out his every protective instinct—along with the carnal ones. As they get to know each other, Dean's feelings for Adeline grow fast, as does his irritation with her boss, whose behavior is suspicious at best.
As much as he wants to protect Adeline from the world, Crash has to tread carefully. His overprotectiveness could push her away…and leave her vulnerable to a man whose obsession has reached the boiling point.

National Lottery players have enjoyed a successful year with 375 players becoming millionaires, sharing £1.3billion between them.
This included the three biggest wins the UK has ever seen.
Britain's biggest-ever winner was made in the draw on 19 July when an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the mind-blowing EuroMillions jackpot of £195,707,000.
In total, 2022 has seen over £4.5billion paid out in prize money and 782 National Lottery players have won a major prize of £50k or above.
But which professions have seen the most millionaires?

The least drawn was little ball number 8 – appearing just five times. As for the Bonus Ball it was 20 which ruled the roost.
EuroMillions' luckiest number also appeared seventeen times – ball number 48. It was followed by 24, 25 and 35.
There were three numbers vying for the next place on the luckiest list with 19, 21 and 28 all being drawn fourteen times.
And the luckiest of the Lucky Stars were numbers 3 and 11 which were well clear on the rest.
The last 12 months have been astonishing for some very lucky EuroMillions jackpot winners, with six very fortunate players banking life-changing multi-million pound prizes.
On 10 May, Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester became Britain's biggest-ever National Lottery winners when they banked an £184M jackpot.
The couple only topped The National Lottery's Rich List until 19 July when an anonymous ticket-holder banked a jackpot of £195,707,000 which remains The National Lottery's biggest-ever win.
To complete the top three, an anonymous winner also banked £171M on 23 September.
National Lottery players have one final chance to win big in 2022 with a £15M Lotto 'Must Be Won' jackpot up for grabs on New Year's Eve.
The whole lot has to go in the draw so players are advised to get their tickets early.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EnviroLeach Technologies Inc. (the "Company "or "EnviroLeach"), (CSE: ETI) (OTCQB: EVLLF) (7N2: FSE). is pleased to announce that it has shipped its first load of 47,000 lbs. (21.3 tonnes) of gold/copper concentrate to Glencore's Horne Smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.
This first shipment of concentrate was recovered from 215,000 lbs (97.6 tonnes) of low-grade printed circuit boards and IT components in December 2018. This represents a 78% mass reduction to concentrate which validates the results of previous pilot-scale testing. This gold/copper concentrate was produced as part of the commissioning of equipment for the pre-leach segregation of the feed material.
This process also produced 59.4 tonnes of organic/light fraction, which the Company anticipates will be processed when the Surrey facility wet line is complete. The aluminum and steel fractions weigh 5.8 tonnes and 11.1 tonnes respectively. The table below outlines the fractional distribution of the EnviroLeach concentrate process.
These printed circuit boards were selected for this initial production run due to the low-cost nature of the materials.
Further details on grades and payable metal values of the concentrate will be reported when received from Glencore. The aluminum and steel fractions will be sold locally.
Glencore is one of the world's largest globally diversified natural resource companies and the largest commodities trading company in the world with annual revenues of $221 Billion and employ over 146,000 people around the world. Their operations comprise around 150 mining and metallurgical sites, oil production assets and agricultural facilities.
EnviroLeach Technologies is a technology company that is engaged in the development and commercialization of environmentally-friendly formulas and technologies for the treatment of materials in the mining and E-Waste sectors. Using its proprietary non-cyanide, water-based, near neutral pH treatment process, EnviroLeach extracts precious metals from ores, concentrates, and E-Waste using only FDA approved additives and ambient temperature water.

KIA EV6 TAKES AIM AT TESLA'S ELECTRIC VEHICLE DOMINANCE
by Rob Klovance | Aug 8, 2022 | Cars, Motor, Sustainability
First there was a big thumbs-up from the neighbour who's no stranger to driving pricey supercars. At intersections, there were head-turning glances from impressed pedestrians. And to top it off, there was a "Wow!" from my 18-year-old son who – after a spin in the Kia EV6 – suddenly recruited Dad to be chauffeur on prom night.
Related: 2020 Volvo XC40: Well worth the leap to full electrification
The EV6 is pretty much everything the South Korean carmaker had promised when it boldly marketed the sleek and sporty crossover electric long before it was released. It's a moderately priced deluxe EV, starting at $45,000 and qualifying for federal/provincial rebates (where available) for all models – including the $62,000 GT Line 2 tested – currently available in Canada.
The EV has the look, inside and out, plus the range (373 km to 499 km, depending on the model) and drivability to take a serious run at its most natural rival, the Tesla Model Y. And while it's not going to be a fit for everyone hungry for an alternative to the faster and roomier Model Y – Canada's top-selling electric SUV – it's a worthy challenger.
Kia's designers knock out it out of the park with the EV6
If you're under the impression that Kia is a maker of basic, unremarkable cars, you need to drive one. There's a quality of design here, and a sterling track record for reliability, that makes the sister company of Korean automaker Hyundai a real player.
As much as I was impressed by the Kia Niro EV I drove last year, the EV6 is a distinct step up, especially in the feature-laden GT-Line 2 model I was treated to for a week in June. There's nothing like all-wheel drive, 20-inch wheels, and a delightful high-tech interior to convince you that Kia is taking its design cues more from German automakers than it is from any North American rivals.
The vehicle's dashboard is a delight, with a combination of touchscreen operation and analog buttons/dials to feel future-forward without being intimidating. It's a much easier transition from a gas-powered vehicle than the analog-free, no-buttons approach of the Tesla's central LED rectangle, although most Tesla owners will tell you they love the do-everything-in-one-place functionality once they get used to it.
A first-class cockpit, and a lot of smart touches
Highlights in the EV6 cabin include the round blind-spot video that pops up when you activate the turning signal for a lane change or turn, either to the left or right of the central speed/range instrumentation. It's all viewable through your steering wheel, and you still get a blind-spot-detecting amber blink in your side mirrors as an alert. There's also Apple Airplay, albeit it via USB plug-in instead of Bluetooth, and a big central storage area to plunk extra keys, wallets, and even snacks, near the floor.
The steering column offers an array of handy audio and other controls, including paddle shifters on either side that allow you to quickly shift to the amount of regenerative braking, from zero to three. On a round-trip to Whistler, I got much better range, and almost complete one-pedal driving (no brake necessary) with the regen cranked up. It's pretty cool to cruise down a hill and watch your range estimate climb.
KIA EV6: The little touches all add up
The little things impress as well. While it takes awhile to get used to the warning beeps that activate when you get near a centre line, or while parking, I liked that when I was trying to squeeze into or out of a tight parking space, the stereo volume turned down automatically until I no longer needed full concentration and it went back to full volume.
Other nice touches: I love the rear seat air vents and USB outlets, one on each side, plus the power source plug at foot level in the back. Everything's well thought out, including the use of Velcro strips to secure charge cord and tire mobility kits to the carpeted floor of the cargo area. Even though there's space in the hideaway storage area beneath the main cargo area, I left both rectangular bags up top and used them to secure groceries, including a dozen eggs, in a corner of the cargo area. Brilliant.
And then there's the tire mobility kit itself. While other companies such as BMW increasingly rely on run-flat tires instead of spare tires to allow you to drive a short distance to a garage or dealership, Kia equips the EV6 and other models with a kit that includes a tire sealant and compressor – powered of course by the vehicle's battery pack – to temporarily fix and inflate a flat tire.
I would have loved that option when I got stranded east of Hope – too far to travel on a run-flat tire – by a flat in a BMW 300e hybrid last summer.
KIA EV6: Better range for longer drives
The EV6's sleek styling and low roof, however, lead to a trade-off that will not work for some. While I was able to adjust the driver's seat to give me comfortable clearance for my head (I'm a six-footer), taller drivers have struggled to find headroom. And while legroom is great in the backseat, there's limited headroom for anyone over six feet.
Cargo space in the EV6, especially with the back seats folded flat and the retractable cargo cover removed, is going to be adequate for most people. At 1,415 square litres with the seats folded down, and a ski-through fold-down between the back seats, there's decent room and options, including an adjustable cargo floor to help add a bit more space. But it's a smaller cargo space than competitors – or the boxier Hyundai Ioniq 5 built on the same EV platform as the EV6 – such as the Mustang Mach-E (1,637 square litres) and the Model Y (1,925 square litres). As for the frunk (cargo space under the hood), there's very little room compared to many EV rivals.
Drive is a nice balance between sport and comfort
On a drive from Vancouver to Whistler, the EV6 checks all the boxes with a combination of power – 0 to 60 acceleration in 5.2 seconds – and agility. The car's suspension is softer than the Model Y's, so there's a mild roll while taking curves at high speed. It's not a road-hugging sports car marvel, but it's fun to drive. The heady blend of comfort and power should appeal to a broader audience than with some sportier EVs with firmer rides.
For those wondering how the EV6 performs in a Canadian winter, there's a detailed driving.ca review that's pretty much a rave about how the all-wheel drive version shines in snowy, slippery conditions. And ev-database. org pegs the long-range EV6's winter range – tested at -10 C with the heat on – at a combined 340 km compared to a summer real-world range estimate of 570 km in the city, 370 on the highway, and 460 combined.
For Canadian drivers, Kia offers a heat pump option that both extracts heat from outside air and recycles waste heat from the vehicle to maintain cold-weather range.
Electric vehicles: Provincial and federal rebates
As tested, the GT Line 2 all-wheel-drive model I drove has an MRSP of $61,995, but it qualifies for the $5,000 federal rebate plus provincial rebates because the EV6s base model – starting at $44,995 – is below the maximum price rebate cutoff. Budget-minded drivers who still want the bigger battery and AWD can opt for the Wind package at just under $55,000. The full GT version of the EV6 – the one that promises a 0-to-60 sprint of less than 3.5 seconds – will be available in Canada later in 2022.
In the end, I'm not ready for an EV6 for two big reasons.
One is that I can't imagine owning an EV without being able to charge at home overnight (I'm still lobbying my strata council to take advantage of B.C.'s current EV Ready rebates for the planning and installation of EV charging).
The other is that while Thule now has a roof rack for the EV6, it's more of a city and road trip car than it is something that would replace my CX-5 for trips to my favourite B.C. biking trails and lakes on gravel and dirt backroads. The EV6's ground clearance is only 6.3 inches, which would be OK on only the smoothest gravel road. To be on the safe side with rougher roads, you're looking at a minimum 8-inch clearance, and the only electric SUVs currently available in Canada with that are the Volkswagen ID.4 and Toyota bZ4X (both 8.3 inches), and the BMW iX electric at 8 inches.
Sleek exterior and fabulous interior
Blend of touchscreen and analog instrumentation
Pop-up video, right in front of the driver, when making turns and lane changes
Power, handling and comfort
What I didn't like
A few too many buttons, including some at the front of the centre console that can be activated by accident, and front-seat USB outlets that require a full stretch to plug into near floor level.
Interior headroom challenges, especially in back seat, for taller passengers
Small storage space 'frunk' under the hood compared to competitors
The Kia EV6, GT-Line 2 edition, strikes a sleek pose at Vancouver's Spanish Banks and turns heads as
a new player in the electric crossover SUV market.
There's a good reason the EV6 was named 2022 European car of the year in a vote by motoring journalists. It's a stunning option for those who might otherwise consider the Tesla Model Y or Mustang Mach E, and it's right up there in bang-for-your buck with the excellent Ioniq 5 that's the roomier, less sporty version of the EV6 from Kia's sister company Hyundai.
Tesla versus the KIA EV6
The decision for those trying to choose between a Model Y and an EV6 will likely come down to a few key questions:
Do you prefer the EV6's combination of touchscreen and analog controls to the all-in-one simplicity of the Tesla's central touchscreen?
Is the Model Y's better interior head space, and cargo space, vital to you and your passengers?
Does Kia's excellent reliability (it was recently rated the third most reliable out of 32 auto brands) trump Tesla's spotty track record for reliability and challenges in getting things fixed?
Is the Model Y's bigger space and performance worth paying the extra $20,000 to $40,000 (after rebates and taxes), depending on your model choices? The Model Y long range starts at $83,990, and no Model Y qualifies for the new-car rebate.
While the EV6 is equipped with charging capability twice as fast as almost any other production EV in Canada – with claims that you can go from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes on a 250 kW charger – there are few charging stations in Canada capable of a 250 kW charge. Tesla has a vast network of Superchargers (some capable of 250 kW, and others at 150 kW) in cities and along major highways in North America that can give a Model Y 320 km of range in 15 minutes.

and how one little louse nearly ended wine as we know it

Grape growers have always dealt with pests and disease throughout history, but you might be surprised to learn that due to one near-microscopic little louse, about 90% of fine wine grape vines growing today are grown on American roots. In fact, this tiny little critter called the Phylloxera louse is responsible for killing approximately 40% of the legendary vineyards of France during the height of the "Great French Wine Blight".
The Phylloxera Louse and its Origin
Phylloxera is a louse or aphid native to the Americas that preys on grapevines much like all aphids. The bug pierces the roots of the grape vines to drink their sugary sap, injecting a venomous toxin into the roots, hindering the ability of the vine to absorb water and nutrients. Eventually, the vine ceases to produce fruit and dies a slow death, and must be replanted. Grape vines take on average a minimum of 4 years to mature before their fruit is deemed worthy of wine production. Vines can live as long as 100+ years when conditions are right, so losing an esteemed old vine to a pest like Phylloxera is a hard blow for any wine grape grower.
Traditionally speaking, most fine wine is made of one single genus-species, Vitis vinifera. This breed of grape has many cultivars or subspecies to which growers have assigned names such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and more. Vitis vinifera is native to Europe, and was introduced to the New World along with the Spanish missions in the 16th and 17th centuries. These early rugged grapevines, called Mission Grapes, were thick-skinned and accustomed to arid environments in Spain and so grew decently well in the dry, high plains of California. Growers and farmers proceeded onward, blissfully ignorant of the microscopic monster that lay just below the surface and was preying on their vines.

The Great French Wine Blight
Over the next century, American scientists discovered new species and varieties of grape vines in the Americas such as Niagara, Concord and Norton. In the mid-1800s, curious botanists and horticulturalists were very keen to learn how these new, unique species would perform and propagate across the pond. These recently discovered American breeds had evolved in the presence of Phylloxera and as such had created natural defenses and near-immunity to the louse, but unbeknownst to these botanists, the vines still harbored the microscopic bugs and their larvae as they made their journey to Europe. Once planted in the moist, clay soil, Phylloxera began to spread and ravage its way through France, infecting and killing vines in some of the most prestigious vineyards in all of Europe. Called "The Great French Wine Blight," over 40% of France's vineyards were destroyed in a period from the late 1850s to the early 1870s.
As Phylloxera decimated the vineyards of Europe, many brilliant horticulturists and scientists across the globe worked feverishly around the clock to discover a solution to this microscopic villain. Initial findings showed that there was indeed a louse to blame, but the consensus was out if the bug caused damage to the leaves or the roots of the vine, and even if it was different in any way than the well-known French grape louse. Scientists continued to try their theories, from pesticides to placing toads under vines, eventually learning by experimentation that it appeared American grapevine roots were not nearly as susceptible to the pest. The end was finally in sight when a team of botanists reached out to one unsuspecting university botanist named Thomas Volney Munson from the small town of Denison, Texas, and ventured to collect rootstock specimens from his lab vineyard of American grape varieties. They proceeded to graft the traditional European varieties onto these resistant American rootstock, which seemingly put an end to the devastation and maintained the quality of the fine European grape species.
Phylloxera in Modern Times
Today, there is still no true cure for Phylloxera, and it is now present essentially worldwide, excepting certain unique biospheres where the climatic conditions do not allow it to survive, such as high altitude deserts and acidic volcanic soils. As such, cultivating Vitis vinifera vines ungrafted on their own native rootstock is quite a rarity indeed. Some vineyards still maintain ungrafted or own-rooted vines; a fact they are more than proud to tout, and much is written from those who had the opportunity to taste the prestigious French wines from vines growing on their own roots before the Great French Wine Blight occurred. In recent decades, much experimentation and dedication has gone into cultivating a superior form of American rootstock that is even more impervious to the Phylloxera louse. Agriculture schools such as UC Davis developed specific cultivars of rootstock, with varying degrees of susceptibility to Phylloxera such as the once-popular AxR-1 and in recent years the GRN-1 and GRN-3. Over the years, growers have learned that each new rootstock comes with its own particular challenges and susceptibility, making cultivation on grafted vines an incomplete and evolving science.
We may never know what the wine world would have looked like if Phylloxera had not spread around the globe, but one thing remains true-- the wine world is forever changed due to this one, infinitesimally small bug.
