The Luck Archive
Artist Mark Menjivar explores relationships with the idea of luck in this edited excerpt of his new book from Trinity University Press
A few years ago I walked into the Hyde Brothers bookstore in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and found a small book from the 1940s called 1000 Facts Worth Knowing. When I opened it, I discovered 4 four-leaf clovers pressed between the pages.
Finding the clovers made me begin to think about luck in my own life. As a middle school basketball player I believed it was bad luck to put my right shoe on first. To this day I still put on my left shoe before my right—and I do the same with my kids' shoes. About the same time a girl told me it was incredibly lucky to look at a clock when it read 11:11 and that you should make a wish right away. The more I thought about luck critically, though, the more I questioned whether it even existed.
I decided I wanted to explore how luck intersected with belief, culture, superstition, and tradition in people's lives and in our society. I photographed each of the four clovers I'd found in the book and made 250 4 x 5 contact prints of each to give to people I met along the way.
While each part of my exploration has been interesting on its own, I became fascinated by the diversity of people's experiences when the pieces were placed next to each other. I started organizing the stories, objects, and photographs into a publicly accessible collection called the Luck Archive.
So far the archive contains more than 450 entries that include rings, coins, clovers, charms, patches, underwear, sports superstitions, lottery strategies, day trader insights, animal stories, dolls, games, crystals, seeds, cigarettes, rainbows, and more. The project is ongoing and has no end in sight. Each new submission makes the work more meaningful, and the manifestation of each one is a collaborative effort. People from many countries around the world have contributed, and I would love for you to consider participating. You can do so by getting in touch with me at

A few years ago I was thinking about starting the Lady Luck Challenge. I was going to invite people to break mirrors and stay in correspondence with me for seven years to see if it had a negative effect on their lives. But I didn't want to be someone who perpetuates bad luck in the world. I wanted to try and find ways to create new luck narratives for people, so I began leading four-leaf clover hunting trips. On the first trip Karina found a four-leaf clover after about twenty minutes.
For many years I worked as a social worker doing direct outreach on streets in the United States and South America. I decided to do something similar, but this time I would try to talk with people about luck.
"In The Old Man and the Sea I read what seemed to me an appropriate definition of luck: a fluid, elusive force that could come right up to us and still go unnoticed. Luck is often a matter of perspective, and it seems to have this way of evading us too, because our circumstances and our wishes are also fluid."—Zach
Tony custom-made these scents for the Luck Archive. "I started off selling drugs. Then jeans. Pocketbooks. And now scents. Been selling them for ten years," he said.
"I flew with that blue stone in my right pocket…My planes didn't fall from the sky… Maybe they wouldn't have anyway, but at that time it was thanks to that blue stone."—Lexa

"I wore the (Reggie Miller) card in my sock throughout every game in high school, my way of having Reggie Miller impart some of his skill and wisdom to my game."—Jason
"I learned of the Daruma doll, a Japanese symbol of perseverance and good luck, in a text that I recently read during my graduate studies. I like the intentionality behind the tradition of placing a mark on a single eye of the doll regarding a specific dream, idea, desire, or hope, with a firm belief that it will come to pass. When the moment of fulfillment has arrived, a second dot is painted on the remaining blank eye. I am intrigued by the thought that completion of a particular task or goal brings balance into one's life and new insight into the world."—Rachel

People are being urged to avoid eating fish caught at Shellgrit Creek. Mike Richards GLA290417FISH
'Do not eat the fish': chemical detected in Mackay waterway
by rainee.shepperson
31st Jul 2019 7:24 AM | Updated: 12:14 PM
UPDATE 12pm: A TOXIC chemical has been detected in fish sampled from a Mackay creek.
The shocking news was released by Airservices Australia today, a government owned corporation monitoring levels of PFAS at airports across the country.
Airservices has recently undertaken some targeted sampling at Mackay Airport including targeted sampling in surrounding areas.
The results show PFAS detected above human health guidelines in fish sampled in Shellgrit Creek, adjacent to the airport.
Queensland Health is urging people not to eat fish caught in the creek due to the possible health risks.
Shellgrit Creek, Mackay. Contributed.
"The test results show elevated levels of the chemical and consequently, possibly health risks for people who eat the fish over a long period of time," a Queensland Health spokeswoman said.
"There is no health risk for people who have infrequently eaten fish from this creek."
An Airservices spokeswoman said the exact source of the PFAS was unknown.
"The location indicates that is unlikely a result of Airservices' activities," she said.
"I can confirm drinking water has not been contaminated, but we have notified the Mackay Airport and the Queensland state regulator so that appropriate action can be taken."
Mackay Recreational Fishers Alliance president John Bennett said Shellgrit Creek was a popular place to fish for local residents.
"It's a small creek down the end of Far Beach, it's as popular as any spot around the place," he said.
"People go down there and catch bream, whiting and flathead.
"A lot of the fish would be swimming in and out of the creek, so it would only be the ones that stay there for a long time that I'd be worried about.
"I think the duration of exposure is what matters."
The testing conducted by Airservices showed that groundwater and surface water inside the Mackay Airport had PFAS levels above national recreational use guideline values at some locations, while the PFAS levels in surface water at Shellgrit Creek were below the guidelines.
The testing is part of an investigation by Airservices Australia and the organisation has confirmed it will carry out further investigations near the airport to verify the extent of contamination and any potential human health or ecological risks.
Airservices stopped using fire-fighting foam containing PFAS at Mackay Airport in 2010.
Anyone concerned about their health should talk to their doctor or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).
A POTENTIALLY harmful substance has been detected in a Mackay waterway.
An ABC Tropical North report this morning has urged the public to avoid eating fish caught at Shellgrit Creek.
"Levels of the chemical PFAS have been found in water and fish samples taken near the Mackay Airport," the report read.
"Air Service Australia has notified Queensland Health that there are possible health risks for people who have consumed fish caught in the area over a long period of time."
Fire-fighting foam containing perfluorinated substances such as perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonate were used in fire-fighting and fire-fighting training from the 1970s to the mid-2000s.
Use of the foams occurred at various Australian sites including civil airports, military air bases, large fuel storage terminals and refineries and ports.
PFAS has been detected in past years at the Mackay Airport and the Port of Mackay. Airservices continues to monitor the levels of PFAS at these locations.
Studies have shown increased exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse health outcomes in humans.

Every time one of my carees gets cellulitis, it's a trip to the doctors 5 miles away or a trip to the hospital A&E , hours waiting.
the doctors know she has Diabetes type 2 cellulitis a lot more likely, surely it would make sense to give her a prescription in advance to get antibiotics as soon as possible.
Is this allowed, every time I get a phone call she is not well but I have to go around sometimes late at night to take her to A&E.
With all this about only go to A&E when absolutely necessary why can't someone do this.
She has asked her gp but the local commissioning board is cutting down on antibiotics, fair enough but she doesn't just want them, she needs them, says on the NHS website, can end up in hospital if you don't get treatment sooner rather than later.
Can anyone advise and about cellulitis in general , very little been told about the other effects of diabetes 2 ,, e.g more likely to get infections.
It does sound irritating there isn't some kind of 'speed dial' for the prescriptions she needs so routinetly.
I believe ceullitis is taken very seriously - I was put on AB even for a small amount of cellulitis - especially with diabetes. If the infection gets down through the skin layers into the blood, then the real danger is sepsis, and that kills very, very quickly if not caught really fast.
Presumably with diabetes there's the extra danger of gangrene leading to amputation??????
only a thought, and it may be useless, but any chance of smearing a lot of high-strength Manuka honey on limbs that look like ceullitis is setting in, as a kind of 'warding off'?
jenny lucas wrote: only a thought, and it may be useless, but any chance of smearing a lot of high-strength Manuka honey on limbs that look like ceullitis is setting in, as a kind of 'warding off'?
I wouldn't recommend this unless directed by a GP, especially if the patient has diabetes. Sugars can be absorbed through the skin into the blood stream as well as via the stomach and, therefore, could raise blood sugar levels.
I've found the best way to get really urgent antibiotics is through an urgent GP or an h=out of hours GP via 111 , although this in itself is a most tedious process as you work your way through the spanish inquisition and then wait to be contacted by GP. If you are acting as professional carer can your office not do the ringing around ? Dad had had cellulitis several times and I have never known him getting a prescription before either a district nurse or GP has seen his legs. Sadly the only thing I can recommend to speed things up is to jump up and down and make a lot of noise, sadly not possibly timewise if you are a paid carer. Could you ask any one from the family if there is anybody to chase for you?
Gosh, Susie, yes, good point! Just goes to show Scally was right when he used to warn everyone 'Don't take advice just because your heard it from some random guy on a forum'!!!!
After a hernia op several years ago I was rushed back in to hospital with cellulitis, it was severe. Drs used dressings with silver and they helped a lot.
I have had a leg ulcer now for almost 8 months, it will just not heal. Had several trips to walk in centre and now being dressed by nurse twice a week. Doppler test next week to determine if compression bandages be needed. Anyways, AFTER checking with nurse and GP I actually started using Manuka honey last week and already there is an improvement. However, I know from research I have done online that it does not suit everyone, and in some cases can actually worsen the situation.
Always best to seek proper medical advice.
That's encouraging, Rosemary - glad it's helping. Fingers crossed continues to do so.
I sometimes put a blob of manuka honey on a cut before putting a plaster on it (when I have to put a plaster, that is, simply to protect it from dirt etc). No idea if it heals faster. But you never know! Also, you have to be quite sparing - honey seems to 'spread' all over and it's VERY sticky!!!!
I seem to remember hearing on the TV in a history programme or some such that in the Middle East (eg, crusader times), the doctors used to put mouldy blue cheese on war wounds....with some success. Presumablyf a form of 'wild' penicillin?
Maybe those are the secret ingredients to an instant cure!

The important differences in the need to stay warm in structured aquatic programs versus the need to stay warm in casual water recreation (e.g. going to the beach) enable you to understand the natural and important role that thermal aquatic wear plays.
Imagine going out on a cool day intentionally choosing not to bring along a sweater or light jacket knowing that you will eventually become uncomfortably chilled. It's a peculiar thought isn't it? Since most of us have an assortment of sweaters, sweatshirts, and jackets we wear to keep warm, why would we choose to be cold? Of course, we normally wouldn't. Why, then, do many tolerate becoming cold when participating in aquatic activities when thermal aquatic wear is http://cialisfrance24.com/ so readily available.
For most people, going into the water is a possibility largely determined by air and water temperatures. Most go to beaches or pools to enjoy brief swims and the cooling comfort of being in and around the water on warm, sunny days. Empty beaches on rainy days support the argument. Since staying cool is often their intent, becoming chilled in the water is of minor concern since they can spend as little or as much time in the water as their comfort dictates. Most have a lifetime's experience passively maintaining their comfort levels in this way and are not concerned about extending their comfort in the water.
But for others, going into the water is more than a possibility determined by air and water temperatures and becoming chilled is a concern. They spend more time in the water. Passively awaiting perfect conditions it too limiting. For comfort they must adjust to the conditions at hand through the use of wet suits and thermal aquatic wear. Divers, surfers, sailboarders, jet skiers, and water skiers are examples.
There is another distinct, aquatic world where people spend longer periods of time in the water to learn to swim, exercise, or rehabilitate; the world of professional aquatics. Like the diver and surfer, cooling off is not their objective. Although professional aquatics typically conducts its business in controlled environments, a specific, ideal temperature may not be possible and individuals become cold.
Thermal aquatic wear is an ideal solution. Aquatic professionals, however, should recognize that because many individuals are accustomed to passively relating to the water rather than actively adjusting to it, thermal aquatic wear may be unfamiliar. They may not understand how thermal aquatic wear actually works to preserve body heat. Aquatic professionals who recognize when thermal aquatic wear will benefit certain individuals and are able to knowledgably discuss its use will be able to contribute to the success of their programs for those cold students and prevent attrition when their pool conditions are not able to please everyone.


conquering oneself | doberman pizza.
Grabbed this wonderful quote from Melody on Facebook. (Don't worry, you'll be seeing much more than a few borrowed Facebook statuses starting in December, along with some other fairly significant changes.) Shoghi Effendi would know plenty about conquering the self, of course, having spent several years doing just that after he learned that 'Abdu'l-Bahá had named him to be the Guardian in His Will and Testament. I feel like I've been working on this myself for so long, and wish I was a little further along in my self-conquering work, but then don't we all?
And this one of the main things I want you to get out of this talk tonight. The Guardian's instructions that every individual must fight with himself, must conquer himself, must overcome his lower nature, must overcome his self, and turn himself over to God, so that the Holy Spirit can function through you. For when the Holy Spirit functions through you, then you will gain victory after victory. Because the Holy Spirit is the creative aspect of God and it cannot do other than win victories and make successes for the Cause.

I was hoping to find out where that extract is pulled from? I mean, I understand that it's from a talk in Johannesburg, but would you happen to know if is it published in any texts?
I looked around, and I'm not sure if the talk has been published anywhere in its entirety. The part that Sebastien and I quoted above, however, has been published as part of the book "Youth Can Move the World" by Melanie Smith and Paul Lample, which you can download from Palabra Publications. The quote's on page 33 of that book.

The story of a school year
As we look back at the 2018-19 school year, we are reminded of the journey we took together as a community around the poignant question: "What should school be for?" This question helped to define our year of reflection and growth and offered us opportunities to celebrate the many ways that support from our community has had a positive impact on the lives and learning of our students.
Discover the ISB Learning Network
When we talk about the ISB Learning Network, we are referring to a community and a Mission. But we are also talking about the cluster of ideas, principles, and values upon which the school has been built over it's long history; but also around which the school is defining its future.
Choosing the right school
Opened in 2018, the ISB Experience Room offers a unique, interactive experience for the entire family. It was designed to help families think about what is important when choosing a school, as well as to introduce our school in an innovative and engaging way.
What does our Community say?
We believe our students are best placed to speak about life and learning at ISB. Hear from different ISB students across our four divisions about how they experience ISB. How we are different, what it's like to live in Brussels, how to make new friends and so much more.
The ISB Learning Journey
The ISB learning journey supports students from Preschool to Grade 12. The school is divided into four divisions, each of which is specially designed to provide an environment in which students can engage, connect, innovate and be empowered.
A truly inclusive school
We believe in our Mission of inclusion. We welcome students with diverse learning needs and understand the complexity and mutual benefit of being a truly inclusive school. We are proactive and responsive in the development of each child's needs through a multidisciplinary team based approach.
Settled in a green forest
Set in the heart of the Forêt de Soignes, Kattenberg 19 has been the home of ISB since 1953. Today, the ISB Campus is a modern, vibrant learning community, a place to make new friends, and a home away from home for many families.
The easiest way to school
The ISB bus service remains the most popular and recommended mode of transport for our students travelling between home and school each day. With more than 25 buses, serving routes towards most parts of the city and surrounding areas, the benefits are clear.
1400 students from 62 countries
One of the most striking features of ISB is the extraordinary sense of community and the welcome it offers to families from countries all around the globe. We celebrate this diversity and the opportunities for learning that it brings.
Join our global Alumni network
ISB welcomes back graduates, former students, past parents and former faculty & staff almost every day of the year, from all corners of the world. Our alumni community is truly global and we aim to stay in touch via communications and events with as many of our alumni as possible.
Part of what makes ISB such a warm, caring and successful community is that so many people contribute to school life. Financial gifts are one important way that everyone – parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends around the world – can give back to help the school continue to grow and improve.
Our vision partners
ISB works with a number of world-class external partners to offer a new and exciting range of programmes and services. Find out more about how our partners are helping us achieve our Mission of inclusion, challenge and success for all students.
Everybody learns
Our Mission and our curriculum commit us to developing Independent Learners. As a school, we aim to foster a culture of substantial conversation and professional growth centered on excellence in teaching and student learning.
Engage, Connect, Innovate, Empower
Learning by Design is a call to re-imagine the way schools facilitate learning in a culture characterized by open knowledge systems, inclusive educational communities, and rapid social change. Join us by registering today.

HRIC Welcomes UN Recommendations on Women's Rights in China
Human Rights in China (HRIC) welcomes the comprehensive
and constructive recommendations issued by the UN Committee on the
Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (the Committee) following its
review of the People's Republic of China (PRC) government's combined fifth and sixth periodic reports, and
urges the PRC to implement them. The Committee's concluding comments and
recommendations suggest that several serious concerns remain regarding China's
obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women (the Convention).
HRIC is concerned that
several of the Committee's recommendations released on August 31 repeat those it
made at its previous review of the PRC's progress in 1999. "While the PRC
government has improved and expanded its reporting to the Committee, its failure
to address or implement previous recommendations only continues to undermine the
rights of Chinese women," said HRIC's executive director, Sharon Hom.
particular, the Committee noted that there is still no definition of
"discrimination" in PRC legislation, hindering effective implementation of the
Convention as a whole. The Committee also noted that the PRC did not provide the
comprehensive information needed for a full review of its progress.
Specifically, it called on the Government to provide more comprehensive
information, including sex-disaggregated statistical information by region and
ethnic group.
The Committee, comprised of 23 independent experts
including lawyers, academics, government officials and NGO experts, examined the
83-page report submitted by the PRC, and also relied on submissions from and
dialogue with NGOs such as HRIC to assess the extent to which the PRC has
complied with its obligations. HRIC's report raised concerns and made specific
recommendations on issues of trafficking and prostitution, education, health and
domestic violence, with a special emphasis on rural women and girls, that are
reflected in the Committee's final report.
In HRIC's oral intervention
before the Committee on August 7, 2006, executive director Sharon Hom noted that
the implementation of the Convention is seriously impeded by the lack of
transparency and the control of information. "By classifying statistics on
kidnapping and trafficking, induced abortions, infanticide and the gender ratio
as state secrets and denying this information to civil society actors, these
actors cannot actively or effectively contribute to the promotion of women's
rights in China. All these factors undermine the ability of the Chinese
government to build meaningful partnerships with both local and international
actors in forming relevant and useful solutions for the advancement of women
that is consistent with the goals and purposes of the Convention," said
Hom.

Q: Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper Has Stopped Working When I try to run one of my Microsoft office professional plus 2013 programs I get an error message that reads:
Microsoft setup boots-trapper had stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
I don't know how to fix it I have a lot for it but couldn't find any solution.

A: After almost 5 hours of trying different procedures, I've finally managed to avoid this error Bootstraper (1603) ... Uninstall AV, and re-enable Task Scheduler trough the 'Regedit' ...

*

*Open Registry Editor, Click Start->type in Regedit, then Regedit.exe will be shown under Programs

*Once Registry Window is open, on the right pane of the window, click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

*Now click on SYSTEM

*Now click on CurrentControlSet

*Click on Services

*Click on Schedule, then on right pane of registry editor, double click on "Start" entry

*Change the "Start" entry value from "2" to "4". Now click "OK" button.

*Restart the Computer for the changes to take affect.

Again the same procedure, return the value from "4" to "2" ...
Then installation of Office 2013 Pro - paased without any issues ...

A: I resolved it after removing every instance of the program with IObit.
I found even trying to install Open Office I had a problem, this method fixed that and the Microsoft one. When you use or install the application you get an error due to the AppData not being properly replaced and permissions have been changed to a System entry. The path may be a like C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ or it may be another path usually C:\Program Data.
To resolve this ensure that you have the necessary permissions on your hard disk or disks. To do this, Open windows explorer, select the folder. Right click the folder, then click Properties on the shortcut menu. On the security tab, click permissions. Select the "Everyone" group, then click "Full Control" in the Type of Access List. Select the Replace Permissions on Subdirectories check box. Click ok. Click yes to the prompt confirming whether you want to replace permissions on all subdirectories. Click OK in the folder name properties dialog box.
Run set up.

Will Cheating Small Business Be Part of Making America Great Again?
How Far Will Obama Go To Silence Whistleblower Lloyd Chapman?
Is Obama Going After Bloggers In His War On Whistleblowers And Transparency?


As long as there has been blogging, there have been "in defense of blogging" posts. Pete Cashmore provided an example yesterday.
At Mashable, we happen to think blogs served a vital role in social media, news coverage and analysis in 2008. No, they didn't break news the very second it occurred – like social media's new love, Twitter – but blogs continued to provide deeper insights than those afforded by a 140 character text box; they provided more thought, more time to ponder, more depth, more breadth and substance.
I had various reactions to Pete's post. (1) How similar to my own thoughts on blogging as compared with tweeting. (2) How insightful! (3) It sounds rather similar to comparisons of blogging with newspapers, except that now blogging is the medium that requires attention span. (4) So what was my best post of 2008?
The last of these arises from the title and main thrust of Pete's post. I left a comment at Mashable nominating my post about making money from WordPress.com.
The comparison of spamfighting services.
The followup to the above.
The account of a meeting with the Boston Schools Superintendent.
I agree with Pete that blogging is good, and look forward to more goodness in 2009.

De Abdij van Bonnevaux (Frans: Abbaye de Bonnevaux, Latijn: Bonae Valles) is een voormalige cisterciënzer abdij in Lieudieu bij Villeneuve-de-Marc in het voormalige graafschap Dauphiné in het departement Isère in Frankrijk. De abdij ligt zo'n 25 kilometer ten oosten van de stad Vienne en 6 kilometer ten zuidoosten van Saint-Jean-de-Bournay aan de noordkant van het Bois de Bonnevaux.

Geschiedenis
De abdij van Bonnevaux werd in 1117 door Guido van Bourgondië, ook bekend als Guy van Vienne, aartsbisschop van Vienne en de latere paus Calixtus II, als de zesde zusterabdij van de Abdij van Cîteaux gesticht. De abdij werd rijk door priviles en giften, onder andere van de dauphin en de abdij bezat vijftien uithoven in Villeneuve-de-Marc, Saint-Georges-d'Espéranche, Beaurepaire, Primarette, Sainte-Anne-sur-Gervonde en Diémoz. De monniken van de abdij stichtten een aantal zusterhuizen, alle in Frankrijk namelijk de abdij van Mazan, de abdij van Montpeyroux, abdij van Tamié, de abdij van Léoncel, de abdij van Valmagne, de abdij van Ulmet, de abdij van Valbenoîte en de abdij van Valcroissant. De nonnenkloosters van Laval-Brente en Bonnecombe vielen onder de jurisdictie van de abdij van Bonnevaux.

Tijdens de Hugenotenoorlogen in de zestiende eeuw leed de abdij zware schade. In 1576 werd de abdij door de hugenoten geplunderd en de kerk lag er hierna verloren bij. In de Franse Revolutie werden de monniken gedwongen de abdij te verlaten. De abdij werd weer geplunderd en in brand gestoken en uiteindelijk als steengroeve gebruikt en in 1938 gesloopt.

Gebouwen
Een schilderij uit 1750 toont de plattegrond van de voormalige abdij. De kerk met de grote westtoren staat aan de noordkant en de overige kloostergebouwen liggen ten zuiden hiervan. Op de plaats van de abdij staat nu een herdenkingsmonument. Het monument is een kruis met een inscriptie dat in 1933 in de abdij van Tamié gemaakt werd.

In 1938 werden de stenen van de abdij gebruikt om de kerk van Villeneuve-de-Marc te bouwen Er zijn tegenwoordig geen zichtbare restanten van de abdij zelf, maar een uithof met een zijbeuk resteren nog van het abdijcomplex.

Ralf Sommerfeld
About Ralf
Ralf Sommerfeld was born in Hildesheim on July 15th, 1968. Being fascinated by bands such as Van Halen and Deep Purple, he discovered his passion for the electric guitar at the age of 13. Various school bands and first instruction activities follow. After the Abitur, Ralf decides to become professional guitarist. Several terms at at the University of Hildesheim follow, in which Ralf completes his classical guitar training. In this time he teaches at several schools of music. In order to achieve a wide-ranging practice-oriented training in all style directions, Ralf decided to study at the G.I.T (Guitar of institutes OF Technology) in Los Angeles. Because he already played at a high level at that time Ralf must not visit certain obligation classes and uses this time in order to intensify his technical abilities and his stylistic preferences. Being influenced by many different music styles (classic, Flamenco, Latin, jazz, rock, pop, metal) Ralf forms his individual style at this time: New Blues rock, on a high technical level with fully developed tone and a feeling of swing by Van Halen. After the return from the USA Ralf founded the GUITAR SCHOOL in Hanover. The foundation of the band Summerfield (e.g. with Michael Wolpers, Drums) and the production of his first instrumental CD "Just got A new guitar" follow. PRO7 uses "The nasty groove Song" for the action series "Renegade", the NDR uses "Forgotten Times" and "Broken Promises" for various spots. Ralf publishes several workshop series in magazines. In 2013 Meinl Germany offered Ralf a MESA/Boogie® Endorsment. After checking a few Amps, Ralf was totally blown away by the sounds, especially of the Mark Series. Since then Ralf plays MESA/Boogie Amps exclusively.

CONSERVATION
While the Hunley rested on the floor of the ocean for over a century, salt water slowly penetrated her iron skin. The salts weakened the structure and rendered the once strong iron submarine vulnerable to air exposure on land. Unprotected in open air, her hull would rapidly rust and collapse.
Finding a way to reverse the corrosion damage has been a major challenge for conservators. The Hunley is a unique, complex artifact, therefore there was no "textbook" approach to follow for the submarine's conservation. Additionally, the excavation of the crew compartment produced a large array of fascinating artifacts from the 19th century, some made of cloth, glass, silver, and leather. Each of these elements required different conservation techniques and specific, specialized treatment.
Working with Clemson University, the conservation team has managed to overcome these many challenges. It has been a time-consuming process, but worth the wait as the team is saving our nation's rich maritime history.
Today, hundreds of personal artifacts from the crew have already been conserved and a plan is well-underway to save the submarine itself. To reach this point was a decade-long journey that began on August 8th, 2000.

The Roadmap to Saving the Hunley
After the Hunley was recovered in 2000, she was placed in a 75,000-gallon tank designed to protect the world's first successful combat submarine until a full conservation treatment could be conducted. The Hunley needed this protection; otherwise, she would rapidly begin to rust and deteriorate. This interim solution bought scientists the time they needed to excavate and develop a plan to ensure the submarine's survival.
When excavation began in 2001, the conservation team quickly discovered they faced a daunting task. The Hunley is a unique artifact, and very few maritime objects with such an intricate and complex construction have ever been conserved.
Years of research, testing, and planning went into developing the Hunley Conservation Plan, which was submitted to and approved by the United States Navy. "The magnitude of our task was enormous. We worked with experts world-wide to make sure the plan would be appropriate for an artifact as historically important as the Hunley," according to conservator Paul Mardikian, one of the key architects of the plan.
The 171-page document outlines an innovative process for conserving the Hunley and includes preliminary findings on ground-breaking research that could revolutionize the field of maritime conservation. The plan was divided into three major phases, two of which have already been completed.
The Hunley at rest in her custom slings.
Phase One: Rotate the Hunley to an Upright Position
When the Hunley was found, she was resting at a 45-degree angle with her starboard side on the seabed. During the process of recovery, the underneath of the submarine was systematically excavated and slings were installed beneath the submarine one by one to safely lift her from the ocean floor. She remained resting in this cradle of slings at a 45-degree angle for many years, which meant the entire right under-side of the submarine was almost impossible to access.
To move the Hunley upright, an engineering study and strength evaluation of the structure was completed. During excavation, four semi-hemispherical hull plates were taken off to allow access to the crew compartment. This led to the removal of approximately 11 tons of sediment that encased the Hunley crew's remains and personal belongings. This work, though necessary, impacted the submarine's structural integrity. The engineering study analyzed the metal and the findings were used to determine how to remove the Hunley from its support slings without damaging the submarine.
The rotation project was safely completed over 3 days in June 2011 and was a pivotal moment in the Hunley Project. Moving the Hunley to an upright position gave scientists the access they needed to remove the concretion that coated the outside of the vessel.
Watch this time lapse video of the Hunley being rotated:
Phase Two: Taking the Hunley Out of Her Shell
With the rotation of the submarine completed, the next step could begin. Until recently, the Hunley was completely encased in concretion, an encrusted layer of sand, sediment and shells that built up slowly over time while she was lost at sea.
In 2014, Clemson University conservators began chiseling away this concretion, allowing the submarine to be fully visible. During this year long process, they carefully removed approximately 1,200 pounds of concretion, roughly the same weight as a grand piano. It was a painstaking task with one slip-of-the-hand potentially damaging this irreplaceable artifact. They used small hand tools, drills, and chisels to break away the concretion, which in some places is harder than the corroded iron it covers.
Removing the concretion is a necessary step in successfully conserving the Hunley, and those working to solve the mystery of her disappearance are hopeful it will also yield valuable new clues. It has been very difficult to conduct their investigation when they have not been able to view and study large portions of the submarine since it has been covered with this substance. The concretion could very possibly be masking critical data. For example, historical records indicate the Hunley was spotted by the enemy and fired upon shortly before her attack. During the removal process, scientists could find clues and evidence that will shed light as to why the submarine vanished.
With the exterior now completely exposed, conservators are now removing the material covering the inside of the crew compartment. With roughly a four-foot diameter, the cramped space within the Hunley will present a new set of challenges. "It is a daunting task to do this slow, detailed work in such a small space. I can't even imagine how intimidating it must have been for the men who actually cranked the submarine," said Clemson University Conservator and Collections Manager, Johanna Rivera.
Watch the Hunley come out of her shell and be fully visible for the first time in over a century:
Phase Three: Soaking the Salts out of the Hunley
Still underway, this phase is the most time consuming and important: removing the salts that threaten the Hunley's existence. The process of cleansing the salts (or chlorides) embedded in the iron hull will be attempted in a matter of years to undo the harm the ocean took over a century to cause.
To do this, the vessel is being submersed in a chemical solution designed to soak the salts out. In May, 2014, the 75,000-gallon holding tank the Hunley rests in was filled for the first time with a bath of Sodium Hydroxide. This was the first of many long soaks and the goal of this initial bath was mainly to loosen up the rock-like layer of concretion. Scientists are carefully removing this layer of debris because it inhibits the effectiveness of the conservation treatment from leaching out the salts.
There are often higher levels of corrosion along the seams holding a structure together. Because of this tendency, sometimes artifacts are dismantled for conservation. This approach would be a tragedy in the Hunley's case. "We worked hard to develop a plan that would allow us to preserve the original fabric of the submarine as much as possible. The Hunley's structural integrity is important to us, and important to history." Mardikian said.
During treatment, the Hunley will be constantly monitored and once the chemical bath is saturated with the salts it has leached from the submarine, it will be drained from the tank, neutralized, and replaced with a fresh solution. This process, which is estimated to take approximately 5-7 years, will be repeated until the level of salt in the iron is low enough to allow the Hunley to be rescued from its delicate and dangerous state.
The Hunley's final journey will be to a permanent display facility where future generations can learn from her technology and innovation. Plans are underway to build a world-class maritime museum, focusing on the American 19th century, which will house the Hunley, Union and Confederate artifacts, as well as other important naval collections.
Iron artifacts from the sea in particular are susceptible to rapid deterioration when exposed to an oxygen rich environment like air. Chlorides from the seawater penetrate the iron on the molecular level. When in solution, these chlorides present no real problem. However, when exposed to air, they slowly dry in crystal form. As the crystals grow, the surface of the metal will expand and flake away, eventually reducing the artifact to a pile of iron oxide dust. Similarly, organic materials will literally collapse upon drying in a matter of days. These reactions are due to a sudden break in the equilibrium reached by the artifact after years of submersion. The main goals of conservation, therefore, are to provide archaeologists with the proper tools and techniques to handle, store, stabilize, and study the recovered artifacts.


Nature and public art: Rivive! Nashville celebrates one year - Rivive!
Our water, as well as our public art projects, reflect our values.
As we approach our one-year anniversary of the launch of the Rivive! Nashville movement, I am reminded of the many events and projects we put together over the past 365 days to increase awareness for the importance of the rivers and streams in the Nashville area. Perhaps, none of these were so grand as the one that kicked it all off.
First, if you haven't seen Beau Stanton's mural for Rivive! Nashville on 5th and Commerce in downtown Nashville, you've got homework. Standing five stories tall, above Blush boutique, it can be seen from buildings all over the city. It truly holds its own as one of the city's most iconic murals.
Nashville's mural scene has become nationally recognized, showing up in blogs, 'zines and travel guides in the 'what to do in Nashville' section. While murals may draw people to our city, what's more important is what these murals do for us residents.
Our murals have changed the way we might think of and interact with our community.
In 2017 when we were in the process of determining how we would share our message about water with the city, we were captivated by a mural, then being created in the Nations district on an old grain silo by artist Guido Van Helten. The artwork depicted longtime resident, 91-year-old Lee Estes, gazing toward the development and ever-changing landscape of the neighborhood he had lived in for nearly a century.
I was in awe by how, through a single image, Van Helten seemed to tell a much larger story that went beyond the history of the Nations, and reflected the way the entire city is evolving, and amplifying the need for spaces for the community to come together and grow—in the case of the Nations, the St. Luke's Community house.
Like Mr. Estes and many others have witnessed—and Van Helton so eloquently depicted in his mural—the entire landscape of Nashville has changed dramatically and relatively quickly. Our goal for Rivive! was to show how these same changes affect our waterways.

The Nashville Waterways Consortium was formed as a collaborative effort by the Cumberland River Compact, Harpeth Conservancy, Nature Conservancy of Tennessee, Richland Creek Watershed Alliance and Tennessee Environmental Council to create an awareness of the state of our waterways, and what residents can do about it as Nashville continues to grow at a rapid pace.
At present, 51% of the waterways in Davidson County are designated impaired by the state of Tennessee. This means that more than half of our streams are not suitable for drinking, fishing, or swimming.
Rivive! Is a movement designed to bring awareness to our water. Nashville's water. Our message to the city is that there are things we can do to improve and protect our waterways (like taking the Rivive! One Degree Pledge) but only if Nashville residents and businesses pitch in and do their part. With the city estimated to grow by 1,000,000 people by 2035, it is critical for all of us to turn our attention to our water resources if we want clean water for drinking, recreating and to provide a habitat for our rich wildlife.
Like with public art, the way people interact with nature, including our waterways varies greatly. Some seek it out, and can't imagine life without it. Others appreciate only when they are exposed to it. And some may not notice it at all, or may feel they don't have access to it. In any case, public art and nature help make up the fabric of a community. Both reflect our identity, pride, and values.
When thinking of public art and nature in this way, it made perfect sense to partner with the Nashville Walls Project to use the power of art to tell our story and showcase the value of our water.
NWP found us a wall and a world-renowned, New York artist, Beau Stanton. With his use of vibrant colors and nautical elements, we instantly connected with Beau's work. Likewise, Beau was excited to take part in the project, as someone for whom water is a focus of many of his works.
(Left to right) Artist Beau Stanton, assistant painter Andy Phipps and Rivive! cofounder Monette Rebecca pose in front of a partially completed mural on Nashville's 5th Avenue and Commerce Street in 2017.
When not working on his piece, Beau spent time exploring the city, the architecture of the Ryman, local churches and historic buildings. He talked with residents about the history and geography of the area. To further inspire his water theme he paddled the Cumberland River.
I won't tell you how to interpret the mural. Like with any work of art the message you get comes from your own experience and reaction to it. What I will say is that the elements of the work are inspired by our fair city: Historic architecture, our nickname "Athens of the South," and most importantly, our water.
It's been a year since we launched with Beau Stanton's mural. Since then we commissioned a second mural —check out Mobe Oner's beautiful 12 South mural—and held numerous events and art installations, including one for the ears, WADE: Music for River and People.
Many of you have joined our movement by signing up to receive news and to attend our events, and we thank you. Others have taken our One Degree Shift pledge to create change for our waterways in your own backyards. We thank you for your pledge. To the artists who worked tirelessly to create their art to help Rivive!: we are grateful.
Nashvillians admire Rivive! Nashville's second commissioned mural located in 12 South. Artist Mobe Oner.
We hope to continue our journey with you into 2019 and beyond, and to inspire others to join in helping to bring positive change to the future of Nashville's waterways.
Nicholle serves as the Project Manager for Rivive! Nashville. She enjoys the challenge of working to communicate complex environmental issues to the public and has had the great pleasure of working with the artist community in Nashville to advance the message of Rivive! in a new and unique way. When not at work, she will take any chance to get out paddling on Nashville's beautiful waters.


This is an article posted on the official site of OU is almost ten years old. Unfortunately it is as relevant today and at the time of writing.
It seems to me that at least part of my destiny has been to champion unpopular subjects. A number of years ago, I began to awaken the Jewish community to the fact that "shikker is a goy" is a myth, and that the problems of alcoholism and drug abuse have infiltrated the most respectable families. Now it has become my task to debunk the myth that Jewish husbands are, without exception, kind, devoted, and considerate, and that there is no such thing as domestic violence in the Jewish community.
Even the most serious and life-threatening problems can go unnoticed when there is resistance to acknowledging them. It is a fact that many women neglect to examine themselves properly for breast cancer because of the fear of what it might mean if they discover a mass. Obviously, it is this very neglect that can lead to the grave consequences that could have been avoided by early detection.
The idea of "shondeh" (disgrace) functions in the same manner as fear. To recognize that there is spouse abuse is to admit that there is a "shondeh." As a result, women who are abused continue to suffer because they are unwilling to admit that they are being abused. Unfortunately, they also expose their children to the deleterious effects of growing up in a home where there is abuse. Rabbis often refuse to believe that these problems exist. The resultant hesitance of women to confide in a rabbi because they will be suspected of lying or even of being "meshugah" may have valid grounds. Parents whose daughters complain of being abused may encourage them to return to their husbands and overlook the abuse, saying, "The children need a father, and he is a good provider." Countless excuses are given for maintaining the status quo, which is not really a status quo at all, because abuse is usually progressive.
Communities as a whole are caught up in the denial of this grave problem. Jewish family services are often underfunded, and therefore cannot operate a hotline, provide adequate staff, or maintain a safe-house for abused spouses.
The most evident form of abuse is physical, although abusive husbands are usually clever enough to strike only at the parts of the body that are not exposed. But verbal and emotional abuse may be every bit as damaging to everyone in the family. Quibbling and arguments, while undesirable, do not necessarily constitute abuse, but insulting or demeaning a spouse is definitely abuse. Isolating a woman from family and friends, restricting her ability to function by controlling her access to money, or undermining her authority as a mother is abuse.
Abuse occurs in a community that tolerates it. While the aggressor is the immediate perpetrator, the community cannot shirk its culpability if it allows abuse to occur and continue. We tend to look for causes of things, and indeed a match may be the cause of a fire. But fires cannot burn in the absence of oxygen, and if the supply of oxygen is cut off, as when we douse a fire with water, the flame is extinguished. While a community is not the cause of abuse, it may be likened to the "oxygen" when it allows the abuse to continue. If attitudes in the community undergo an appreciable change, and this change pervades every facet of the community, spouse abuse may be extinguished.
I recently lectured on spouse abuse in a major Jewish community, and 600 people attended the lecture. However, many of the posters announcing the lecture were torn down by people who felt it was a "shondeh" to bring this issue before the public. How sad! The real "shondeh" is when a woman is traumatized physically or emotionally and when her life (and perhaps that of the children) is ruined because she has no one to turn to, no one she feels can help her.
There may be some light at the end of the tunnel. The Shalom Task Force, a volunteer group in New York, is trying to organize a nationwide network of service providers. Last year, 175 rabbis gathered in New York to discuss this issue at a session sponsored by the Shalom Task Force and endorsed by the respected Talmudist, Rabbi Abraham Pam. The Nefesh organization, comprised of several hundred Orthodox psychotherapists, has held special sessions on spouse abuse. In many communities, Jewish agencies are providing trained staffs to deal with these cases. But much more needs to be done, and soon. None of us should have on our conscience that a person has been damaged or destroyed because the community was derelict in providing the necessary resources for help.
This is not a job for "the other guy." Abuse cuts across all economic, cultural and religious levels in our community. There is no immunity. We should all become involved, even if only for self-serving reasons. Everyone should contact the agency in their community to find out what they can do to help. Too often, people fail to get involved until the problem strikes too close to home.

The 'Cello Player
Edwin Walter Dickinson
During Edwin Dickinson's childhood, his family expected him to become a Presbyterian minister. Instead, he settled on a career in the navy. After failing the Annapolis entrance exam twice, he decided to become a painter instead. He enrolled at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and took classes at the Art Students League of New York and the National Academy of Design. Dickinson liked to find the visual appeal of common or discarded objects, which he included in his bustling, crowded compositions.
What objects in your life have memories attached to them?
At first glance this painting appears to be a study in gray, black, and white. Upon close looking, however, muted colors appear: pinks, browns, purples, greens, and blues. At the center of the painting sits a man cradling a cello. However, he holds no bow; the cello is silent. Although Dickinson denied a narrative or symbolic meaning, some art historians believe that the painting reflects the artist's sense of loss following his brother's death by suicide more than a decade earlier.

The cast stretch film machine produces PE stretch film with single-side or double-side adhesive for industrial wrapping. The raw material is mainly LLDPE, blended with some other resins such as mLLDPE. The co-extruded stretch wrapping film of 3 or 5 layers has excellent tensile strength and resistance to puncture and impact, thus making it an ideal wrapping both manually and mechanically to protect pallet or other goods during transportation.
The cast stretch film machine offers film with thickness ranging from 0.015mm to 0.050mm. The net width varies from 1000mm to 4000mm, due to adoption of multiple rolls of 500mm width. The film structures available are 1-layer, 3-layer, or 5-layer films.
1. Equipped with air knife and chill roller of high performance, the cast stretch film machine ensures various options of coextruded film structure layers and film width.

10 Tips for Cruising the Caribbean
By Chuck and Barb Shipley, Tusen Takk II
Chuck and Barb Shipley, formerly of Richmond Hill, Georgia — just south of Savannah, hope more trawlers continue to make the Caribbean Islands a part of their cruising plans. A decade ago, Tusen Takk II, the Shipley's Krogen 48' North Sea, was a trawler among many sail boats. Today, more Krogens and power boats of many kinds join them in the epic adventure. Barb retired in 2004 and while she waited for Chuck to "get free" a year later, she became a captain and earned a 50-ton master's license. They sold their home and cars 10 years ago and are happily living aboard their yacht, taking National Geographic-quality pictures (this issue's cover photo courtesy of Chuck), and cruising where they will. Below, in Q & A format, the Shipley's dish their sage advice.
If you don't have a home address, how and where do you receive mail?
When we retired and sold everything in Georgia, we changed our residence to a mailing service in Florida. This not only solved the problem of having a place for our mail to be sent, but also freed us from state income tax and yearly property tax on our trawler. The service forwards mail on request and also scans the outside of envelopes/packages so you can view them when you have an Internet connection. If you want to see the contents of an envelope, it is available for viewing and printing the next day. And, when guests come to visit, we have our mail sent to them before they depart so they can bring it with them.
What planning is involved when having two couples (or more) stay on board?
We have had guests a number of times and have thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. Our Krogen 48' is quite commodious as our guests have their own bedroom (stateroom) and their own shower and bathroom (head). One has to be careful about making commitments to be somewhere on a specific date to pick-up or drop-off people, but Barb and I have always avoided problems by building in a cushion in the timeline. You certainly don't want to get into a situation where you feel obligated to travel when the weather conditions would suggest otherwise. If you and your cruising partner enjoy guests on land, chances are you will enjoy your guests on the water! If a short visit is all you enjoy with friends and family at your house, you will want to tactfully ensure that their visit on board will be of similar duration.
Do you have a medical kit stocked with non-prescription and prescription-strength medicines?
We do have such a kit! Most of its contents are common sense, but it also includes some prescription painkillers and antibiotics—some for "above the waist" and some for "below the waist". It is amazingly easy and cheap to buy prescription-type drugs in the Caribbean, but not the French islands because their standards are similar to those in the U.S. We also have a copy of the book, "A Comprehensive Guide to Marine Medicine", by Weiss and Jacobs, for quick reference.
How do you provision? At local markets? What do you look for in regard to food safety?
On many of the islands, there are surprisingly great supermarkets. We usually get our fresh fruits and vegetables from local markets, as do most of our cruising acquaintances. We wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly when we return to the boat, and doing so, we've never had stomach problems. Nor have we ever had concerns after buying prepared foods at local restaurants or from street vendors. In general, it is unnecessary to pack large amounts of food from home. Many first-time cruisers pack way too many canned goods and extras. If you don't eat it at home, you probably won't eat it on the boat. Plus, it's more fun to try local foods and cook with local products and recipes.
Is it best to have cash, credit cards, or traveler's checks? Or, a combination of all?
Thankfully, ATMs are widely available. We use them almost exclusively as a source of cash (in the currency accepted on that island). However, please note, many banks charge fees to withdraw cash from an ATM not affiliated with their bank; we skirt around those fees by using a VISA card tied to our Schwab account that refunds any fees applied. We pay by credit card for groceries at the larger stores, and also for marine supplies, bottom painting, etc. We haven't used traveler's checks in years, and we don't know of any cruisers who still use them. When choosing credit cards, we recommend that you shop around. Additionally, many cards charge a three percent to five percent fee for foreign transactions.
When traveling in the Caribbean, is there a language barrier?
In the eastern region of the Caribbean, a few islands are French. Not just French-speaking, but have all the privileges and responsibilities thereto appertaining (such as the right to vote in national elections). Barb and I don't speak more than a few words of French, but have always managed to get by—either because we dealt with multi-lingual locals or because we are sufficiently adept with gesturing! And, the delicious French food makes the effort well worth it. The rest of the eastern Caribbean islands are former English or Dutch territories, and English is the predominant language. The Dominican Republic is Spanish-speaking, but we got by just fine speaking English. All of South America (except Brazil, of course) and Central America are Spanish-speaking; though we have met folks who can't speak a word of Spanish who said they experienced no problems making themselves understood. Off the northern coast of Venezuela are the ABCs (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao). Their official language is Dutch (and Papiamento), but English is widely spoken and we had no trouble communicating.
Is there a book or another resource that rates and ranks Caribbean marinas?
We don't use marinas much, as we mostly anchor out. However, we occasionally pop into one briefly, just to equalize our batteries. But in Trinidad, where we spend the active hurricane months, we do stay at marinas because there are no decent anchorages for large trawlers. Also, we've come to know, that many of the Caribbean Islands really don't have appropriate marinas. But there are excellent published sources that describe anchorages, marinas, and more.
Are there places in the Caribbean and along the Central America coastline that you would not go to, and why?
Mainland Venezuela has become increasingly unstable and dangerous—and only the foolhardy get anywhere near its northern shores. There have been too many acts of violent piracy to tread there. When we cruised from Curacao to Bonaire in December 2014, we traveled along an arc that kept us far north of the Los Roques and Las Aves Islands that are far enough from the mainland to have been formerly considered safe, but now are also mostly avoided. Furthermore, there are anchorages in St. Vincent that have a horrible reputation for break-ins and robberies, including Wallilabou and Chateaubelair, in particular.
What mechanical services, if any, can you find while cruising?
We expect to do most lighter maintenance and repairs ourselves. Some islands have excellent mechanical services, while others have virtually none. Some particularly good places for services are Puerto Rico, St. Martin, Martinique, Curacao and Trinidad—and to a lesser extent, St. Lucia and Grenada.
Based on your experiences, what would you do differently?
Start earlier (when we were younger)!
Equip the vessel with a pair of flopper-stoppers and appropriate arms (for at-anchor stabilization) before leaving the United States.
We wish we had a less energy-consuming refrigerator. However, we love its size and the ability to keep, say, ice cream, in the freezer. This makes us immensely popular with our friends on sail boats with small inefficient refrigerators.
You cannot have too much storage space for spare parts, lubricants, and tools. I should have built even more storage racks down in the engine room.
I would not wait so long to install solar panels. We now have three panels on the pilothouse roof and two more on our "constructed-for-the- purpose" T-top. They keep our batteries so much happier and they greatly reduce the frequency and duration of our generator use.
I would not have waited so long to replace our 17 gallon-per-hour water maker with our 50 gallon-per-hour unit. Rinsing off dive gear and soaking underwater cameras takes lots of water, as does keeping salt and dust off the exterior of the boat.

Soma Gold Achieves Record Production in Month of August
Start of mining at Cordero increases monthly Au production by 47%
September 2nd, 2021, Vancouver, British Columbia, - Soma Gold Corp. (TSXV: SOMA) (WKN: A2P4DU) (OTC: SMAGF) (the "Company" or "Soma") is pleased to announce that 1,968.2 AuEq ounces were produced at the Company's El Bagre mill during the month of August. The average head grade during the month was 5.65 gpt, a 19% increase from the average year to date head grade of 4.76 gpt. Of the 12,191.82 tonnes milled at the El Bagre plant during the month of August, 1,240.87 tonnes were sourced from the new Cordero Mine. This production represents an average of 146.16 TPD since production started from the Cordero Mine. The average head grade from the Cordero Mine, during the month of August, was 9.35 gpt. Production at Cordero is expected to ramp up to 400 TPD during Q4 2021 and to 600 TPD in early 2022.
Javier Cordova, Soma's CEO, states, "Mining in the months prior to August was restricted to only the La Ye and Mangos mines where combined mining averaged 338 TPD. That tonnage represents only 75% of the el Bagre mill capacity and 51% of the combined el Bagre and el Limon installed capacity. The average head grade YTD has been 4.76 gpt. Production at the Cordero mine, where the average grade has been 9.35 gpt, started on August 15th and the addition of this higher-grade material already has had an impact on the number of ounces produced in the month. As production at Cordero continues to ramp up over the coming months, we expect to restart the el Limon mill and increase combined through-put to 600+ TPD at an average grade of 7.5 gpt. The increase in both the tons milled and average grade will result in a significant increase in the monthly gold production."
Mr. Edwin Naranjo Sierra, FAusIMM, MSc, Senior geologist, Director of Exploration for Soma Gold Corp is the Qualified Person, within the meaning of NI 43-101. Mr. Naranjo is satisfied that the analytical procedures and best practices used are standard industry methodologies, and he has reviewed and approved the technical information disclosed in this news release.

Q: Squaring Polynomial over $\Bbb F_2[X]$ Is Equivalent to Squaring Argument Thanks to some assistance below, I can now

show that if $g(X) \in \Bbb F_2[X]$ then $g(X)^2 = g(X^2)$.

Is there some more direct way to prove this special case (not that the original proof is long):

Show that if $\beta$ is a zero of $P(X) \in \Bbb F_2[X]$ then so it $\beta^2$.

Further, suppose that $\beta$ is a $N$th root of unity. If $N$ is not of the form $N = 2^d - 1$, then surely we can generate all powers $\beta^j$ with some power $n$, ie $\beta^n = \beta^{j + kN}$ for some integer $k$. (This is not the case for $N = 2^d - 1$ since we repeat: $\beta^{2^d} = \beta^{N+1} = \beta$.) Is this correct?

As always, any advice, muchos appreciato!

A: HINT:
$$(a_1 + \dots + a_n)^2 = a_1^2 + \dots + a_n^2 + 2 (a_1a_2 + \dots + a_{n-1}a_n)$$
What happens if $2=0$?

Q: R shiny - Warning: Error in : Only strings can be converted to symbols I am relatively new to R shiny. I have created a function using ggplot, which works well when outside of R shiny, but throws up an "Only strings can be converted to symbols" error in Shiny. I was wondering what the problem is? i have tried changing aes to aes_string in the function, but still no luck.
I add a reproducible example

library(shiny)
library(shinyWidgets)
library(tidyverse)

scatter_fun<-function(data,xval,yval){
xval <- ensym(xval)
yval <- ensym(yval)

ggplot(data, aes_string(!!xval, !!yval))+
geom_point(alpha=0.25)+
theme(axis.line.x.bottom = element_line("black"),
axis.line.y.left = element_line("black"),
axis.text.x = element_blank(),
legend.title = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_rect(fill = "white",
colour = "black",
size = 0.5, linetype = "solid"),
panel.grid.major = element_line(size = 0.5, linetype = 'solid',
colour = "gray90"),
panel.grid.minor = element_line(size = 0.25, linetype = 'solid',
colour = "gray90"))+ylab(quo_name(yval))+
xlab(quo_name(xval))+
scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::comma)+
expand_limits(y = 0)+
geom_smooth(method="lm", se=FALSE, colour="red")+
annotate("text",
hjust=-0.5,
x=0,
y=max(eval(yval, data)),
label = paste0("R=",round(cor(data[,quo_name(xval)],
data[,quo_name(yval)]),2)),
size = 6)
}

ui <- fluidPage(

titlePanel("Variable testing"),

selectInput("KPI", "Variable 1",
            names(mtcars[,2:ncol(mtcars)])),

selectInput("KPI2", "Variable 2",
            names(mtcars[,2:ncol(mtcars)])),

mainPanel(plotOutput("plot"),
verbatimTextOutput('mean'))
)

output$plot<-renderPlot({
  scatter_fun(mtcars,input$KPI, input$KPI2)
})

output$mean <- renderText({"Hello"})

}

shinyApp(ui=ui, server=server)

A: Just remove all the tidy eval and use only strings with aes_string():
scatter_fun<-function(data,xval,yval){

  ggplot(data, aes_string(xval, yval))+
    geom_point(alpha=0.25)+
