Dayton plan sets up budget negotiations
By: Mike Mullen March 18, 2015
House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jim Knoblach, R-St. Cloud, right, has said that he is looking forward to hearing testimony about budget targets for different areas of state government and that it would be "inappropriate" to speculate before the panel received more information.

By the rules of the game, Gov. Mark Dayton plays first in the three-way poker match between the administration and the two houses of the Legislature. On his turn, Dayton's bold but predictable move was to push his chips to the table and go "all in."
Well, almost. The supplemental budget released on Tuesday has line-item spending for just about every bit of the $1.9 billion surplus: There's $13 million left on the bottom line, in case there's anything Dayton left out. That's a thin slice relative to the $42 billion budget, but the governor's statements portray the supplemental budget as a starting point, with nearly every viable option still on the table.
Entering the third budgeting negotiation of his tenure, the second with Republicans holding a majority in the Legislature, the governor understands how the game is played. Dayton said he was willing to negotiate spending amounts on a number of proposals — his own, or theirs — to reach a compromise budget that could pass into law.
Almost inevitably, that compromise will include more in the way of tax cuts, which feature in only one place on Dayton's initial position: An expansion of the working family credit, first announced in January, would help parents pay for day care at a cost of $175 million over two years.
But Dayton is not in favor of the larger GOP push to lower taxes across the board. He compared tax cuts to being "like M & M's," for their sweet, tempting and temporary effect, and parts of his Tuesday announcement were framed as a response to the Republican Party of Minnesota's call to "give [the surplus] back" to taxpayers. The House Republican majority has stopped short of that, but House Speaker Kurt Daudt has said his caucus might devote half of the surplus to slashing taxes.
"Some want to give $1 billion or more back to ourselves, I prefer to give $1.2 billion to our future," Dayton said, referring to his combined spending for education and families.
Dayton's own priorities were clear based on the Cabinet members who got time at the lectern on Tuesday. Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius spoke about the prospective impact of all-day pre-kindergarten ($343 million in Dayton's budget), and additional funds for special education ($41 million), while Higher Education Commissioner Larry Pogemiller touted the $252 million to ensure a tuition freeze for University of Minnesota and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) students.
Increased dollar amounts for those proposals amounted to much of the change seen since January, when Dayton's budget pitch reflected the roughly $1 billion surplus projected at that time. Previously, only half of the pre-K plan had been paid for by the state, leaving districts on the hook for the other half.
Dayton said that he is "open to" a means-tested system for pre-kindergarten but that lawmakers should look at the "phenomenal success" of the universal all-day kindergarten program approved in 2013.
"Parents are working, they know where their kids are, and they know they're getting quality learning experiences," Dayton said. "Why wouldn't we want to extend that to 4-year-olds?"
Dayton said he was "flexible" on how local districts chose to implement pre-K but hoped for an "integration" with existing child care options.
Principal elements of the supplemental budget are due to spike in cost between the next budget and the "tails" budget for fiscal years 2018-19. All-day pre-K, pegged at $234 million over the next two years, would rise to $587 million the following biennium; the special education increase would go from $37 million to $97 million; funding a tuition freeze at MnSCU rises from $142 million to $190 million.
Dayton acknowledged the challenge of long-term budgeting, especially in the likely event that the state's economic fortunes change someday soon.
"All spending increases are temporary," he said.
The press conference also saw the introduction of several new spending priorities. Among them:
More than $24 million for recruitment and retention of teachers in "hard-to-fill" positions, which would add an estimated 400 teachers, largely in rural districts.
A $25 million pay hike for staff at the state's nursing home facilities, allowing for what Dayton called a "significant" raise on top of increases in the last budget.
A one-time, $10 million appropriation for 650 units of workforce housing in Greater Minnesota.
An $11 million dedication to refill the state disaster contingency fund, the newly established account intended to prevent the need for a special legislative sessions to pass disaster relief bills.
Dayton said his salary increase for nursing home workers is an alternative to "considerably more expensive" proposals introduced this session.
"I anticipate the Legislature may very well want to go beyond that, and I'm certainly agreeable to doing so," he said.
Disability advocates were first out of the gate with a reaction to the budget, as the "5% Campaign" coalition announced that it was "stunned" Dayton was devoting money to nursing homes but not disability care facilities.
"It's really a matter of fairness," Bruce Nelson, ARRM CEO said in a statement, adding that nursing home and disability care staff "do essentially the same work."
Also disappointed was the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC), whose president, Heidi Omerza, said the lack of local government aid (LGA) funding is a statement that the governor "doesn't have the commitment, resources or will" to invest in Greater Minnesota communities.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk's response offered no specific value judgment, good or bad, instead saying his caucus "shares many of the priorities" seen in Dayton's budget.
Republicans have yet to begin rolling out their own spending targets, though their budget resolution is expected to get a first introduction in the House Ways and Means Committee next week.
Figures in the lower chamber have already engaged in a bit of gamesmanship over the budget, as Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley, introduced a resolution that would bind the Legislature to the $39 billion budget passed under DFL control, which Republicans have criticized as wasteful.
In response, Rep. Jim Knoblach, R-St. Cloud, had Winkler's floor resolution — which even the author admitted was offered to prove a point — recalled to the Ways and Means Committee, where legislators took testimony on Monday morning. Lobbyists dutifully appeared there to argue for more money aimed at their various categories, but the hearing was more perfunctory than functional.
Asked, at that time, how Knoblach was approaching the setting of budget targets for different areas of state government, the committee chair said he was looking forward to hearing testimony, and that it would be "inappropriate" to speculate before the panel received more input.

One of the most difficult things to know when after getting a new swimming pool is how to use chemicals to balance the water chemistry. We all use chlorine for various purposed in our Hawthorne homes, so it's a no-brainer that it is also a necessary pool sanitizer that makes swimming in our backyard pools safe.
Pool water chemistry isn't something you are born knowing, so educating yourself about different chemicals is important if you own a swimming pool or hot tub in Hawthorne. Our Hawthorne pool supply company wants to educate you with the basics below on how to use chemicals to treat your pool.
When you look at a pool testing kit, you'll see that you aren't just testing the pH level of the water chemistry. You're also looking for chemicals such as total and free chlorine content, bromine, minerals, and phosphates. There are also test strips available to detect levels of bacteria and metals.
On the pH scale, 7 is neutral. For any pool in Hawthorne, target the level to between 7.2 and 7.6. A lower pH level indicates too much acid while a higher pH means too much alkalinity. Everything in the water will affect the pH level, so your pool chemistry needs to be balanced. You'll often need to add certain chemicals to your pool.
High alkalinity content makes your swimming pool water cloudy and will cause scale deposits along your pool tiles. It also irritates your eyes. Your pool equipment and plumbing system will also be affected. Muriatic acid is now known as hydrochloric acid and is used to lower alkalinity in swimming pools.
Chlorine tables that contain cyanuric acid will help to lower the alkalinity. It won't be as effective at killing bacteria in water that has higher alkalinity content.
For a 15,000 gallon pool with a pH reading of 7.8 or higher, you'll need to add about 1/4 of a gallon of hydrochloric acid. Be sure to test again afterward.
A low pH level means the pool water is too acidic. Adding sodium bicarbonate will raise the alkalinity. Make sure you check the balance about three days afterward so the entire body of water has time to adjust. Test and then adjust until the water chemistry is balanced.

The bug can freeze your Chrome browser
If you are a tech enthusiast or spend much of your time on net surfing about your favorite games and movies, then you must have a hint of a bug that affected many of the users and frozen thousands of browsers using the download bomb trick. The Chrome users can better relate to it.
The trick led the user to thousands of downloads from a single booby-trapped web page. It further escalated the system RAM and CPU usage quickly and ultimately resulted into a frozen browser.

The bug in Google Chrome was first spotted by Malwarebytes earlier this year, and at that time, it was only affecting Chrome browser. The report made the Google release a fix for the browser version Chrome 65. Thankfully, the bug was crushed for that time.
But according to a recent report, the bug has made a comeback, and this time, the carnage is not just limited to the Chrome browser, but it is also reproducing in Firefox, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi. Interestingly, the Edge and Internet Explorer users are being spared of this attack.

Halutz: Hamas will restrain itself
By Yaakov Katz

The formation of a Hamas-led Palestinian government does not necessarily signify the beginning of a new terror wave, IDF chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz said Friday in an unusually optimistic outlook on the situation within the Palestinian Authority. "At the moment Hamas's ideology is well known," Halutz said before a crowd of 2,000 at Bar-Ilan University's "Friday Academy" community cultural event. "But they will need to change their views and compromise to prove that their [current] image is wrong. I believe they will restrain themselves." But Halutz warned: "If they stick to their policy of terror, they will be considered an enemy of the state of Israel." "They will have obligations to their public, whether financial commitments or maintaining a public education system," he added. "This may make them change since this is a situation they have never been in before." Referring to the upcoming Israeli general elections on Tuesday, Halutz said Palestinian terror groups have increased efforts to carry out attacks against Israel, but without connection to the elections. "There is a rise in the terror group's motivation to perpetrate attacks, but this is not necessarily connected to the elections," he said. "This has been going on for several months already and it has more to do with the PA elections." Halutz said that most of the latest attacks have been perpetrated by Islamic Jihad, "a terror group that does not have a political agenda but only stands for terrorism, terrorism and more terrorism." Coordination between IDF officers and PA security forces on the ground was continuing, he said, at least until Hamas formed its government - expected to happen on Monday. "We will need to evaluate our steps once the government is formed," he added. Asked why the IDF did not take more action to stop Kassam rockets fired at Israel from within the Gaza Strip, Halutz - the former air force chief - said: "Life is about choosing between alternatives… even when we were inside Gaza eight months ago we did not succeed in stopping the Kassams. This is because we operate like an enlightened country and are not quick to cross red lines." Referring to the growing rift between the religious camp and the army, Halutz said he was distressed but that in the end the camp's decision to "disengage" from the IDF would cause it more harm than it would to the army. "I am disturbed by voices that call for a separation from the army and not to enlist," he said. "This will bring a disaster on the state of Israel and we cannot let these voices take over our daily lives." Referring specifically to Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, head of a hesder yeshiva in the Samarian settlement of Elon Moreh, Halutz said teachers had responsibilities toward their students. "Teachers need to weigh their words carefully and realize the influence they have and the amount of damage they can cause their students." Levanon, he said, was a person who has accomplished a great deal in his life, but who at one stage mistakenly decided that the rule of government in Israel did not suit him. "The democratic nature of a country is not something that one day you agree with and one day you don't agree with," Halutz said. Both Halutz and OC Human Resources Maj.-Gen. Elazar Stern have singled out Levanon to be censured for publicly encouraging soldiers to refuse evacuation orders during the disengagement from the Gaza Strip this past summer. Levanon's yeshiva is in danger of being removed from the hesder or 'arrangement' between the IDF and religious Zionist yeshivot which provides religious soldiers with a reduced military service (16 months instead of three years) and Torah studies. Asked if the army had a plan to withdraw from the West Bank based on the proposal recently made by Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Halutz said "we have many contingency plans but there are no guarantees. If, however, it becomes state policy and we receive an order, it won't be a problem to prepare such a plan."

The spatiotemporal distribution of drugs in the inner ear cannot be precisely evaluated because of its small area and complex structure. In the present study, we used hyaluronic acid (HA)-dispersed luciferin to image transgenic mice and to determine the effect of HA on controlled drug delivery to the cochlea. GFAP-luc mice, which express luciferase in cochlear spiral ganglion cells, were subcutaneously administered HA-luciferin (HA-sc) or luciferin dissolved in saline (NS-sc) or intraperitoneally administered luciferin dissolved in saline (NS-ip). The bioluminescence of luciferin was monitored in vivo in real time. The peak time and half-life of fluorescence emission were significantly increased in HA-sctreated mice compared with those in NS-sc- and NS-ip-treated mice; however, significant differences were not observed in peak photon counts. We detected differences in the pharmacokinetics of luciferin in the inner ear, including its sustained release, in the presence of HA. The results indicate the clinical potential of using HA for controlled drug delivery to the cochlea.

What are the latest trends in electromechanical drives for machine tools? Find out at the EMO trade fair. Linear technology makes a major contribution towards ensuring that new generations of machine tools are more energy-efficient, more powerful and more precise than earlier models. Visitors to the trade fair will be able to see this for themselves.
If you were to ask users of machine tools to list their key requirements for new machinery, you could not expect them all to say the same things. However, there may be factors that will crop up time and time again, such as the greatest possible energy efficiency, minimal downtime and long servicing intervals, high productivity, environmentally friendly operation, compact designs and the quietest possible running.
When it comes to meeting these requirements and delivering the features users want, manufacturers of linear drives – or to be more precise, producers of ball screws and linear guides, which are used in almost all machine tools – also have a role to play. You only need to look at the new products NSK will showcase at the EMO trade fair to see that manufacturers have taken up this challenge. The company's innovations are closely linked to the latest trends in the machine tool industry.
Manufacturers of ball screws belonging to the medium performance class are confronted with contradictory demands. Customers expect high traverse rates, which can best be achieved by using drives with a large lead. At the same time, they want a high level of precision and accurate positioning, which are best attained by selecting a small lead.
NSK has developed a new series which meets both requirements. The range consists of high-speed drives that can achieve a maximum dn of 160,000 thanks in part to a newly developed ball recirculation system. At the same time, the drive systems boast very high precision and exceptionally quiet running. This in turn means that noise levels are very low, making the HMS series ideal for designing reduced-noise, high-performance machine tools.
There is good reason to strive for optimum temperature control in ball screws, as this goes a long way towards meeting the demands for maximum precision. This is because the movement of the nut on the spindle generates friction, which is converted into heat and causes dimensions to change. This factor should not be underestimated: a temperature increase of just 10oC causes a one-metre spindle to stretch by no less than 120 µm. In practice, this can mean that machine tools do not deliver the necessary precision.
In such cases, machine manufacturers have until now used temperature-controlled ball screws with a hollow shaft through which coolant is routed. Or – and this is one of the innovations NSK will demonstrate at the EMO trade fair – they can use a system that features nut cooling. With nut cooling, the drive's temperature control system works at precisely the point where heat is generated, i.e. the area of contact between the nut and the spindle. The nut fitting is also effectively cooled and the guiding table likewise maintains its predefined temperature.
Ball screws for metal forming systems (presses) and injection moulding machines need bearings with low friction and high capacity. For this reason, multiple-row angular-contact ball bearings with extra large balls are used. These increase the contact surface and are capable of absorbing high axial loads. NSK's TAC-HR series has proved invaluable for such exacting requirements, lasting around five times as long as conventional angular-contact ball bearings. Now, a new series is available that offers the same performance profiles and load ratings, combined with considerably smaller dimensions. This is thanks to the smaller internal diameter of the new TAC-SHR series, which enables ball screws with smaller shaft diameters to be used at the shaft end, without the need to increase the number of ball bearings per linear axle. This in turn makes it possible to realise more compact power train designs.
High-load ball screws enable even heavy loads to be processed precisely, quickly and efficiently. In line with the trends towards higher processing speeds, machine manufacturers are calling for high-load linear drives capable of reaching ever-higher speeds. A new series caters for this development. It features an improved ball recirculation system, which makes it possible to achieve higher traverse rates and significantly reduces operating noise. This enables the rotation speed of the extra large balls to be doubled for components with spindle diameters of 140 mm or more.
No doubt a lot of machine drive designers would like to see high precision twinned with standard dimensions and off-the-shelf availability. It is a combination that is difficult to achieve. However, a new series of precision ball screws will be presented at the EMO trade fair boasting connection dimensions compliant with DIN 69051-5 (ISO 3408), precision class C5 and off-the-shelf availability. Thanks to preloaded nuts, the drive units move without any axial play. This enables the machinery to run quietly and achieve highly precise positioning. In addition to all this, the new ball screws boast low running noise. Their high level of precision sets them apart from the many other linear drives with standard DIN dimensions on the market.
A new seal concept developed for ball screws also fulfils two apparently conflicting demands that are often made. Sealing a drive very well often results in increased friction. The new X1 seal solves this predicament. Used instead of conventional labyrinth sealing, it has two individual seals to provide dual sealing performance (both internal and external). The shape of these individual seals has been optimised by means of computer-aided design. This results in just 3% as much dirt entering the component as with labyrinth sealing and a third as much grease leaking out as would otherwise be the case. What's more, the improved seal only increases the torque resulting from the preload by 1%. This means that the new seal concept also enhances the easy-running and energy-efficiency properties of a high-precision drive – and therefore supports green engineering.
There will be plenty of exciting innovations in electromechanical drive technology on display at the EMO trade fair. However, the exhibitors cannot and will not rest on their laurels – especially when it comes to developing components for high-end machines that are produced by European – especially German – machine tool manufacturers and exported around the world. Machine tools like these are at the very forefront in terms of key parameters such as productivity, processing speed and precision. Machine manufacturers rely on suppliers and system partners with strong development capabilities – and you do not need to be clairvoyant to predict that international competition will increase still further and the speed of innovations will remain high in the future. NSK is the world's largest manufacturer of ball screws and acts as a development partner to many major manufacturers of machine tools. The company is responding to the forthcoming challenges by expanding its European Technology Centre (ETC) in Ratingen (Germany).

Khongor Copper-Gold
Mongolian Metals Corporation: INVESTORS
Welcome to Mongolian Metals Corporation, a private exploration company in the heart of the highly mineralised South Gobi Copper Belt. The license is prospective for copper and gold and borders neighboring licenses held by Erdene Resources (ERD) and Steppe Gold (STG), both listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) with high grade gold, copper and molybdenum occurrences.
Mongolia sits at the shoulder of the largest consumer of commodities (China - copper and coal), and with a global Green Energy revolution on the horizon the demand for copper and industrial metals is only growing.
Mongolia is home to the most recent major copper-gold resource finding on Earth and the largest expansion project globally in the mining sector at Oyu Tolgoi. Despite multiple Tier 1 copper deposits being discovered in the South Gobi Copper Belt, much of the Belt is highly mineralised but vastly underexplored. We are on the hunt to find the next Oyu Tolgoi. To explore the land and investigate the geology to find where high grade gold and copper deposits are hidden in the earth. Mongolia is the future of exploration, the final frontier of great copper discoveries, and we will be there to make this happen.
We will guide you through everything you need to know as an investor in the Mongolian mining industry, which is expected to boom in 2018. We will provide detailed information and updates on the business climate in Mongolia, developments in the mining industry in Mongolia, an overview of commodities, politics and geopolitics, licensing and legislation, competitors and listings, and an overview of the geology and attractiveness for Mongolia and copper-gold deposits.
2. Mongolia's economy
The economy in 2017 grew by 5.1%, performing better than the 1.2% growth of 2016, and 2.4% in 2015. In spite of early year uncertainty, Mongolia is rapidly recovering according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). A bailout package from the IMF in February 2017 has set Mongolia on a path to a more stable (and disciplined), economic future.
The outcome of this is that after 3 years of inaction, 2017 saw the second phase of the Oyu Tolgoi (OT) mine commence, worth about US$4.4 billion and one of world's largest gold and copper projects. It is expected that this mega-mining project will raise GDP and encourage the return of FDI in the coming years with confirmed foreign direct investment (FDI) from Rio Tinto in the years to 2020 and other multinationals primed to enter the market.
The economy is expected to perform even better in 2018 with Oyu Tolgoi set to double production in 2018, industry production increasing (up 34% from 2016 to 2017) and coal extraction increasing (up 136% and sales up 120%).
Government pro-activity is harnessing commodities' performance and international goodwill better than ever before, encouraging diversification and infrastructure spending.
We expect 2018 to be a year of economic recovery and the beginning of another exciting chapter in Mongolia's development. Thank you for visiting Mongolian Metals Corporation. Should you have any questions, please feel free to directly contact us and we look forward to assisting you with any of your mining needs in Mongolia. Mongolian Economy Report

3. Mongolia's mining industry
Mining accounts for around a quarter of GDP and more than 80 percent of exports in Mongolia. There is new hope in 2018 that by increasing mining exploration, Mongolia could potentially raise GDP and economic security. It has opened up just over one-fifth (20.9%) of the land to exploration in a drive to tap into the mining industry's appetite for new resources and help shore up its finances following an IMF-led bailout in 2017.
In the 2011-2013 golden years, Mongolia's economy grew at a double-digit annual rate as foreign investors rushed in to take advantage of its vast untapped mineral deposits. Unfortunately, since 2016 the country has been been hit hard by an economic crisis due to government overspending and declining revenues from commodity exports. IMF data shows that the economy only grew 1 percent in 2016 from 2.4 percent in 2015.

As the best quality ore bodies in many other parts of the world become depleted, explorers are looking to central Asia for new prospects. Miners believe Mongolia ranks as one of the best prospects in the world for new copper reserves. 'Finding the next Oyu Tolgoi: all eyes on Mongolian copper'
Minerals Resources and Petroleum Production Mongolia forecast 2017-2020
4. Commodities overview
Mongolia is estimated to possess $1.5 trillion worth of mineral resources such as gold, copper and iron ore.
There are approximately 3000 deposits and occurrences of 50 different minerals explored and researched in Mongolia. Gold deposits are mainly explored in southern and northern parts of Khentii and Khangai mountains, copper and molybdenum deposits in the basin of Orkhon and Selenge Rivers, fluorspar in eastern part of Mongolia and phosphorus in Khuvsgul region.
Gold production declined after the adoption and enforcement of the Law Prohibiting Mineral Exploration and Extraction Near Water Sources, Protected Areas and Forests (2009), but production has revived since 2013 in part due to government encouragement of gold mining through a conducive legal and taxation environment. A joint Working Group (from the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry and Bank of Mongolia) was established in 2016 with the aim to further increase gold production.

The exploration expansion not only reflects a response from the Mongolian government to supply growing copper demands but is symptomatic of improved geological surveys, the growing availability of the latest geological technologies and an influx of overseas geologists, miners, engineers and financiers with an interest in the Mongolian land. There is hope that opening up the country to more exploration and foreign investment will in turn drive developments in exploration strategy and mining techniques as junior exploration companies operate in a global market resulting in knowledge exchange.

Emerging technologies and energy incentives that place a greater emphasis on efficient electricity networks and electric vehicles also raise the possibility of a surge in global demand for copper. Given Mongolia's location with neighbouring China this is particularly poignant. Xi Jinping's environmental agenda for China puts a greater emphasis on 'green energy' electricity, rather than coal, and to do this the copper demand as an export from Mongolia is expected to grow.

5. Geopolitics and developments
The 'One Belt, One Road' (OBOR) initiative, launched by Xi Jingping, is more than an ambitious infrastructure project. It is perhaps the largest in history. It's also the Chinese Premier's legacy. With constitutional changes now permitting him to remain in office for life, there is an ever greater possibility of its delivery. Countries touched by it can look to consolidate trade with China, and benefit from the infrastructure dividend it brings. It is a once in a generation opportunity to build roads and rail that will open up the Chinese market as well as other Asian, Middle Eastern and European markets and provide a secure route for a product to get to market. More on this here. 'Four reasons why 'One Belt, One Road' could help unleash Mongolia's copper potential'

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) also expects to scale up its activities in support of global development goals and could increase investments in its current regions of operations, including Mongolia. Current estimates indicate that the EBRD could invest around €3 billion more a year. Its financed projects were worth €9.7 billion in 2017 and €9.4 billion in 2016.
6. Licenses and legislation
Exploration in the Southern Gobi copper belt begun in the 1960s with large state-sponsored geological survey style exploration generating regional data sets that included mineral occurrences.
Early exploration by western companies 1996-2006 led to the commercial discovery of the Oyu Tolgoi deposits. Ivanhoe (now Turquoise Hill Resources), under Robert Friedland's leadership, was responsible for the major exploration efforts during this phase. Significant regional exploration continued through to 2009 and included the Joint Venture between Ivanhoe Mines and BHP Billiton. This resulted in Ivanhoe obtaining the largest landholding in the mining industry with an inventory that totaled 126,626 km2, about the same size as Japan.
Extensive exploration and geological data were collected from 2011 onward and the understanding of regional geology and controls on mineralization were significantly advanced. These included an understanding of the local geology of the Oyu Tolgoi porphyry systems as well as other copper occurrences. Exploration was mainly focused on specific prospects and was largely driven by junior exploration companies and various private groups with some advancements by various majors across the wider belt.
Unfortunately, exploration has been impacted by the Mongolian legislative environment and global commodity cycles.
● Ivanhoe released the majority of its extensive regional landholding following windfall tax legislation (announced May'06)
● The Mongolian copper and gold windfall profits tax was repealed (announced Aug'09, effective January 1, 2011).
● The Mongolian Minerals Law was reformed in July 2014
● The 5-year moratorium for issuing new exploration licenses (since mid'2010) was repealed in January 2015.
● A total of 3580 exploration and mining licenses were issued in Mongolia end of 2016, 2022 licenses were for exploration and 1558 were for licenses for mining, for approximately 8.0% of Mongolia's territory special licenses issued for approximately 0.9% of Mongolia's territory.
Map of spread of licenses as of 2016.12.31 (https://cmcs.mram.gov.mn/cmcs#cid=1)
The country is now on the brink of a mining boom. It has opened up just over one-fifth (20.9%) of the land to exploration in a drive to tap into the mining industry's appetite for new resources and help shore up its finances following an IMF-led bailout in 2017.
The ministry for mining has laid out planning for exploration licences to be obtained, taking the infrastructure, green development, and investment equality into consideration. Licences may be granted to investors via application as well as open-tender bidding. Please see our 'How to get an exploration mining license' section for more details of this process.
6. Mining companies
Mongolia is home to Rio Tinto's massive Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine. The Oyu Tolgoi mine is a combined open pit and underground mining project in the Gobi Desert, approximately 235 kilometres east of the Ömnögovi Province capital Dalanzadgad. The site was discovered in 2001 and is being developed as a joint venture between Turquoise Hill Resources, Rio Tinto and the Government of Mongolia. The mine was under construction as of 2010 was scheduled to begin production in 2013. Copper production is expected to reach 450,000 tonnes annually. Financing for the project has come in part from the Rio Tinto Group and an investment agreement between Ivanhoe Mines and the government of Mongolia.
In June 2017, Rio decided to go ahead with a $5.3 billion expansion over the next seven years. The mine will eventually be responsible for around 30 percent of the economy, Rio said, but direct benefits for Mongolia will be delayed. According to a 2009 agreement, investors must recoup their original investment costs before Mongolia can collect dividends for its 34 percent shareholding in the mine.
Mongolia's gold industry is also expected to see a major boost in 2018, with the Oyu Tolgoi mine set to double its output to between 240,000 to 280,000 ounces. As Oyu Tolgoi enters its later phases, higher grades and increased recovery will significantly enhance the projects capacity. This will further propel the recovery of the Mongolian economy. 'Gold in the Gobi: Oyu Tolgoi production set to double in 2018'
While Oyu Tolgoi is Mongolia's highest profile mining operation, the country hosts a number of copper, gold and coal mines and exploration programs. The Erdenet Copper Mine (49% Government owned) has been operating for several decades and the mine accounts for 13.5% of Mongolia's GDP and 7% of tax revenue. About 8000 people are employed in the mine and it is believed that there are still a number of decades of mine life to come. Andrew Stewart, CEO of Xanadu Mines, a copper and gold exploration company, said he feels that encouraging exploration is critical to establishing a healthy mining industry and great discoveries are often made when there are structural changes in the industry.
Oyu Tolgoi mining project is the largest financial undertaking in Mongolia's history the but the second largest deposit in the Gobi Desert is Tavan Tolgoi, one of the world's largest untapped coking and thermal coal deposits. It has a total estimated resource of 6.4 billion tonnes, one quarter of which is high quality coking coal. It is divided into six sections: Tsankhi, Ukhaa Khudag, Bor tolgoi, Borteeg, and Southwest and Eastern coalfields. The Tsankhi section is the largest part, and is divided into East and West Tsankhi - these have had the most focus recently.
All of Tavan Tolgoi is owned by Erdenes MGL (a government owned company) except for Ukhaa Khudag section which is mined by the Mongolian Mining Corporation. Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi LLC (Erdenes TT), a subsidiary of Erdenes MGL, is managing the development of East Tsankhi, and the company is due to float on the Hong Kong, London and Ulaanbaatar stock markets sometime in the next couple of years. Mining of West Tsankhi is planned to be contracted to a consortium of international mining companies.

There are also number of foreign companies which have significant exposure to Mongolia's mining wealth. Here is a listing of the non-Mongolian mining companies active in Mongolia. Many of them trade on stock exchanges around the world.
7. Geology
There is increasing recognition of the Southern Gobi's copper potential, being one of the last under-explored known copper frontiers. The legislative roadmap, existing producing mines/development projects, limited exploration activities and understanding of geological potential is analogous to the development of Chile's copper industry in the early 1970's.
The Devonian belt in the Southern Gobi is particularly comparable to Northern Chile, in terms of landmass size, and important geological structural features/controls, where there are over 15 current large mines producing ~2Mtpa Cu (>10% of global production). Copper porphyries occur in clusters focused on key geological structures within established belts- they do not occur in isolation.
The South Gobi area lies near the boundary of the South Mongolian and the South Gobi tectonic units. It is made up of primarily Paleozoic volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks. These are the result of the accretion of Island Arc terranes with Andean-type subduction, related magmatic arcs and continental blocks. Basin and Range style rifting accompanied bimodal volcanism in the Late Paleozoic and by early Mesozoic, continental uplift was in progress. The result of uplifted tectonic belts was the deposition of terrigenous sediments into thrust-controlled, foreland basins, give rise to a covering of Mesozoic sediments on the arc terrane units. The region became increasingly arid by the end of the Late Cretaceous, a similar to the present day Central Asian basins.
The Devonian age, gold rich Oyu Tolgoi copper porphyry system is a Tier 1 asset, being the largest high-grade group of Paleozoic porphyry deposits known in the world, which coupled with a number of underexplored Devonian porphyry system, encourages exploration in this fascinating and mineralised Southern Gobi Belt.
Regional Geological setting with Oyu Tolgoi porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposit and other active mines indicated (Porter, T. M., 2016 The geology, structure and mineralisation of the Oyu Tolgoi porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposits, Mongolia: A review, Geoscience Frontiers)
8. Mongolian Metals Corporation
Mongolian Metals Corporation (MMC) owns the 75,000 hectare Khongor license in Southwestern Mongolia, adjacent to Erdene Resources' (TSE: ERD) main Bayan Khundii site which features copper and gold porphyry. The Khongor property is prospective for similar porphyry and epithermal styles of mineralization. Results from 2016-18 geological mapping and geochemical analysis of rock chips, stream sediments and soil samples have identified numerous medium to high grade gold, silver and copper deposits with maximum grades of 3.35% Cu, 71.3g/t Au and 262g/t Ag. Further exploration of these exciting deposits are warranted to determine the magnitude of the resource. MMC is looking to raise US$800,000 in an equity private placement.
The Khongor Exploration Property is located in Shine Jinst and Bayan-Undur Soums, Bayankhongor Aimag, southwestern Mongolia. The property is ~900km southwest of Ulaanbaatar. The center of the property is located at ~44° 0' latitude 98° 30' longitude. The property consists of two contiguous exploration licenses covering a total area of 74991.47ha. Licenses XV-014108 (Xongor-1– 69,950.73ha) and XV-014132 (Xongor – 5,040.97ha) were granted in 2008 to Topazstone Mining, a wholly-owned Mongolian-registered subsidiary of MMC.
Two mineralized porphyry systems occur within 20 to 35 km of the Khongor property, both associated with small hydrous plutons in the same geological bedrock unit that underlies much of the Khongor Property. Two sizeable precious and base metal epithermal systems occur within a few kilometers of the property boundary, notably Bayan Khundii and Altan Nar projects held by Erdene Resources immediately west of the property. Deposit exploration targets are porphyry copper and epithermal gold-silver-base metal, based on features observed on the property and/or nearby properties held by Erdene and Steppe Gold. Copper+gold+molybdenum porphyry mineralization is known to occur throughout southern Mongolia, including the Oyu Tolgoi deposit 800km to the east.
Location of the area of interest in SW Mongolia (yellow highlighted license), part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt.
Significant recent findings by MMC exploration are 3.35% Cu and 4.27g/t Au measured in the Tourmaline Pipe area and Khar Ovoo, up to 1.85% Cu, 71.3g/t Au and 262g/t Ag in the Del Khad and Ulaan Tolgoi area and up to 1.72% Cu, 1.06g/t Au and 156g/t Ag in the UST area. Samples of malachite have been found at Khar Ovoo and indicate the presence of oxidized copper at the top of the ore body. Malachite was also found in the early stages of exploration of the Oyu Tolgoi - Turquoise Hill - mine where its distinctive turquoise color gave the first indication to the 1.494 Gt of Cu-Au-Ag ore.

Indian have shown the congress that ,they had given them enough chances and now they would like to give a chance to one of the leaders they believe can change India ,to a better place to live ,today it's so happens that a young boy who at the age of 16 joined Poltics and nearly after 50 years has become the prime minster of India from a poltical party who had changed India from 1999-2004 but couldn't really keep there momentum going and the new government than just ruled for the next decade and threw India to the dogs .
He is the same man who has been the chief minster for 3 consecutive terms in Gujarat that's 15 long years ,it's with that reason the Indians have voted him for the seat .

Regeneration, capacity building, redevelopment.
Our approach is to share the sustainable Visne¬zade neighborhood regeneration spaces for the creative economy of the Besiktas district in the competitive world city of Istanbul.
Sustainable Neighborhood Regeneration; For a Creative Economy
Turkey is one of the developing countries. Istanbul is a unique world city which is competing with the other world cities and developing it's self against the negativity of the globalization.
Globalization, effects to the cities with a rapid and unregulated growth as Istanbul had experienced. The negative effects of the globalization could be seen effectively in the inner cities of Istanbul, like Besiktas district.
The transformation of the city regions are raised up with the globalization. The industry regions transformed with high skyscrapers. After 80's the politic decisions made the transformation and redevelopment of the industry regions to service sector with the global economy's investments. The global investment's opportunity areas like Mecidiyeköy, Sisli, Zincirlikuyu, Levent, 4.Levent are so close to Besiktas.
The results of the sectoral and physical transformation of those regions had started to seen in the inner city of Besiktas.
Besiktas is an old historic settlement with its Ottoman and Byzantine Empire architectural monuments, environment and Bosporus. Lots of Byzantine churches settled on the Bosporus in the Byzantine period. Lots of Ottoman Palace buildings and gardens built in the Ottoman period. Visnezade neighborhood has an old ottoman neighborhood structure with its street and house structure and type. The neighborhood's heart is an urban conservation area. Houses in the conservation area are abandoned to their aspect because of the legal institutional framework of the conservation councils.
That aspect made the region house of the urban poor and the beginning of the social exclusion from the other sides of the district like Levent, Ulus, and Gayrettepe neighborhoods.
Istanbul's world city identity is identified with tourism and service sector. Besiktas is the unique district of Istanbul with its location, historic background and environment, Bosporus, EU level education and citizens.
With that approach and Besiktas's situation in Istanbul makes Besiktas to be the cultural and historical tourism center of Istanbul with the support of the service sector.
Besiktas's inner city has started to collapse with its socio-cultural and economic structure of the physical and social environment. There is need to create a new sustainable socio-economic, cultural and physically affordable housing neighborhoods.
Visnezade neighborhood is one of the inner neighborhoods of the Besiktas district. We need to provide the neighborhood's effectiveness again with the technological and creative methods like regeneration and its tools in the global economy and services.
Sustainable neighborhood regeneration is one of the most effective implementation methods with the technology instruments in the world for creative and sustainable neighborhoods if its social impacts are expected before.
Our approach with that paper is to share the sustainable Visnezade neighborhood regeneration spaces for the creative economy of Besiktas district in a competitive world city Istanbul.

Case Study presented on the ISOCARP Congress 2005: Making Spaces for the Creative Economy


A DECISION is likely within the next month on Gull's application for resource consent to build and operate a petrol station in Opotiki.
Gull announced a year ago that it was planning a self-service station for the former Wakelin Motors site on Bridge Street, and a resource consent application was lodged with Opotiki District Council in May.
The consent has been opposed by nearby property owners, including Housing New Zealand.
Council planning and regulatory group manager Gerard McCormack said a hearing to determine the application had been pencilled in for the end of February.
"However, I understand that the applicant and the submitters maybe about to reach agreement in the near future," he said.
In her submission, Bridge Street resident Jodine Angela Whare said she supported the application, but that for traffic safety reasons, care was needed when deciding where the entry and exit to the petrol station should be placed.
She suggested the station's entry should be on Bridge Street, but that the exit should be on Nelson Street.
In its submission, the housing corporation said it "opposed the application on the basis that the current proposal will have adverse effects on adjoining properties and these effects cannot be mitigated by conditions of consent".
The submission stated that the development would provide for commercial activity in an area that was zoned for residential activity.
HNZ development planning manager Brendon Liggett said that while the corporation supported the proposed development in the location, it was concerned the nature of the proposal would result in adverse effects.
"The proposed service station will operate 24 hours, seven days a week and it will have refuelling trucks arrive between the hours of 10pm and 7am," he said.
The associated intensity, noise and traffic movements with the proposed service station were not comparable to the previous use, the Wakelin Motors car dealership, he said, and the proposed activities were contrary to the objectives of the residential zoning, and HNZ therefore opposed the application.
"In its current form, Housing New Zealand considers that the proposal does not sufficiently mitigate the adverse effects resulting from the development," Mr Liggett said.
He said HNZ was open to reviewing any amended plans.
Coastline Projects director Hayden White was also opposed to the proposal.
He said, as the owner of a property at 27 Nelson Street, Coastline Projects was objecting for similar reasons to those listed by HNZ.
Additional concerns were that the petrol station might become a "hang-out" for people engaged in unsavoury behaviour and that cars might be doing burnouts.
Noise, lighting effects, traffic, odour, hazardous substances and flooding effects received detailed considerations in the Coastline Projects submission.
"Service stations are not in keeping with a residential environment, which is why they are not typically located within a residential area," Mr White wrote.
In its submission, Coastline Projects also presented a comprehensive list of consent conditions it would like to see imposed in case the proposal went ahead.
Included in this list were limitations on construction hours, restrictions on fuel delivery hours, lighting effects, hazardous substances are a request for a noise barrier.

I have a picoscope 3224. I have just updated the picoscope software to 6.0.13. Does this update software for the datalog program also? If not, how do I do that?
Can the 5000 series scope be used with picolog? Making use of the large buffer, can oversampling be used to reduce noise and increase resolution over the 8 bit sample size in the audio range (assuming noise will jitter the signal into different bins)?
I downloaded picoscope 6 for my 3424, and I cannot get a trace. The same signal input on A with 5.16.2 shows a DC trace that I can vary on the 20mv range with trigger set to none. With the same settings on Picoscope 6 I get nothing. On Auto I get an off scale indication on all ranges.
Is the operating system overhead slowing down the 1 ms sampling rate specific for an Intel Mac with XP Pro, or is it generally true for PCs?

1. This thesis is an examination and critique of Emil Brunner's theological anthropology from the Neo-Thomistic perspective. Emil Brunner's doctrine of man is examined under three thematic headings: first, man and knowledge (or theology and the philosophy of science), second, man and God (ontology), and third, man in the world (ethical implications). In the first section Brunner argues that man can only be properly understood in light of the complete revealed Christian system. This is because man is in some way separated from his origin in God and engaged in persistent rebellion against Him. Thus, the human quest for knowledge is inhibited insofar as it approaches the 'personal centre' of man's being. Human sciences, in other words, are more prone to error than natural sciences since they constitute an attempt to understand something which can only be known in and with Christian revelation. In the second section (man and God), Brunner represents man as wholly determined by God in the personal form of his existence and history. Apart from this relation, which God initiates and controls, man has no real being, purpose, or destiny. In the third section, Brunner develops the temporal (ethical) implications of his theological anthropology. Since man has neither being nor self-knowledge apart from God's gracious act, he cannot be truly good or moral apart from the self-understanding and 'goodness' conferred upon him through special revelation. 2. The critique of Brunner's doctrine of man follows the same topical format. In the first section, we have argued that Brunner's strict division between general and special revelation is untenable, since it implies that a proposition can be true in one instance but not in another. In the second section, we have pointed out that human freedom and consequent moral culpability is contingent on a certain ontological distinction between man and God. In the third section we have developed the critique further in view of some of Brunner's ethical writings, and argued that Brunner's lack of a clear concept of natural law undermines his attempt to provide a consistent method of moral judgement. 3. In the third section, we have presented the views of Austin Farrar and E.L. mascall in relation to the main problem areas of Brunner's doctrine of man. First, there is a summary of the main points of Austin Farrar's 1958 Gifford Lectures on natural law and freedom of the will. Farrar argues that moral intuition is a universal faculty, realized in relation to a (natural) moral law grounded in the very nature an inherent worth of humanity. mascall presents an understanding of redemption and the Fall which limits sin to man's immoral choices, and does not demand an incapacitation of his cognitional structures. This eliminates the qualitative abyss with Neo-orthodoxy sets up between general and special revelation, and does away with self-contradictory distinctions between 'secular' and 'religious' truths about man. The thesis concludes with an attempt to reconcile the 'personal' emphasis of Brunner's anthropology with the Thomistic affirmations of an objective, discernable moral law grounded in the fabric of creation.

Currently there is probably a bigger market for blog themes such as for the WordPress content management system but that will require some PHP knowledge.
There is basically three business models used by template designers: 1. Sell a template for a fixed fee, 2. Sell a template as an annual subscription with gives buyers access to support and updates and 3. Give the template away for free on a website filled with advertising. As this market is quite saturated if your skills is not exceptional then giving away the template for free and depending on ad revenue is not a bad idea.
If you are selling a template for a fixed fee you can use a marketplace such as Theme Forest to sell to people but they will take a commission of every sale.
Some local guys who have built large businesses from selling website templates is WooThemes and Obox Themes.

Q: Kerio alternative to EWS? I have recently developed some software that provides a php interface to read and write some calendars on an Outlook 2010 server. This uses EWS (Exchange Web Services) extensively.
Now I have been asked to adapt it to work with a Kerio Mail Server. Currently Kerio does not have support for EWS, although they have hinted that it might be forthcoming, so does anyone know of a Kerio alternative to EWS which is quite similar and wouldn't require too much code rewriting?

A: Can you wait a few more weeks? According to their corporate blog Kerio Connect 7.2 will support EWS and a beta is coming soon:

Development work is well under way for full synchronization of Outlook 2011 and Kerio Connect using the Exchange Web Services architecture, and it will be part of the upcoming new version.
As is customary with us, we will publish several beta versions of Kerio Connect 7.2. The first public one will be ready in about a month, and will revolve around CalDAV and CardDAV, as well as feature an early preview of EWS for Outlook 2011.

Source: Blog entry dated 30-Sep-2010
If you absolutely can't wait, you could try the old HTTP-DAV method that is used by Entourage to talk to Exchange (and Kerio).

A: AFAIK there's no support for EWS in any version of Kerio right now. However, it does support iCal. Could your software work with that instead?

Conflict in eastern Ukraine took lives of more than 8 thousand of people
1.3 million people face difficult access to the water supply
21:21, 3 November 2015
Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe Nils Muižnieks presented a report, in which he unveiled the sorowful data of the Donbas conflict, which erupted in the eastern regions of the country in April 2014.
"At least 8,050 people, the majority of them civilians, have lost their lives in the conflict since April 2014, including at least 68 children. At least 17,811 persons were injured as a result of hostilities, including at least 186 children," as said by Commissioner Muižnieks.
It is estimated that 5 million people affected by the conflict are in need of assistance. Around 2 million of them, who live in the areas adjacent to the contact line between the government forces and armed groups including in the buffer zone, are in the most vulnerable situation. Many of them receive limited if any assistance from humanitarian organisations, since access to these individuals is hampered by security concerns and access-related administrative obstacles. An additional 2 million persons who live in non-government controlled areas (NGCAs) experience difficulties owing to a lack of social welfare payments and livelihood opportunities, and a non-functioning banking system. Many of the 1.4 million displaced persons are also in need of assistance. This applies in particular to older people, persons with disabilities, single mothers and families with many children.
Access to clean water is a pressing issue for up to 1.3 million people. Military activities have resulted in extensive damage to infrastructure, including medical facilities, schools and kindergartens. After the disruption of regular medical supplies to conflict-affected areas, the medical institutions and affected population have become increasingly dependent on the aid provided by humanitarian organisations and other actors.
More than 150 healthcare facilities have been partly or completely destroyed in the conflict-affected areas as a result of indiscriminate shelling. Up to 143,000 people will be at a much higher risk of developing severe complications due to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack, possibly leading to premature death. There have also been reports of up to 400 deaths of diabetes patients due to a lack of necessary drugs and treatment.

CONCORD, NC — June 18, 2018 — The 2018 DIRTcar Summer Nationals and Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals are in full swing after a stellar first week. The Northern Kickoff featured amazing runs by tour veterans and strong challenges by newcomers amid one of the strongest tour fields in recent history. As we look ahead to Legends Week here are the drivers to watch for this year.
Shannon Babb won three of the five events in the opening week of this year's tour, snatching up $25,000 with his wins at Kankakee Speedway, Sycamore Speedway, and The Dirt Oval at Route 66. Babbs, a four-time DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion, holds the points lead going into Legends Week by a thin margin over Billy Moyer. Babb has scored tour victories at all but one of the Legends Week tracks — Belle-Clair Speedway on June 19.
Billy Moyer will continue to push towards the 100 Summer Nationals victory mark. Moyer found himself outdueled by a dominant Babb twice during Northern Kickoff week at Kankakee and Sycamore Speedway. Moyer found himself on an upswing at the conclusion of the week with a victory at Plymouth Speedway (IN). The Batesville, AR driver is five points behind Babb going into Legends Week.
The 2018 Summer Nationals has one of the strongest fields in recent memory. Along with Week One standouts Babb and Moyer, Brain Shirley, Jason Feger, Brandon Thirlby, Ryan Unzicker, Nick Hoffman, Billy Moyer Jr., Rusty Schlenk, Tony Jackson, and many more have voiced commitment to the 2018 tour. Drivers like Sunday's second-place runner Timothy Culp have also taken to the road for 2018. Going ahead to Legends Week look for drivers like Jason Feger to make their marks at tracks where they've had a history of tour victories.
Surprise victories by regional stars and non tour regulars has long been a DIRTcar Summer Nationals tradition. 2018 has already proved to be no different with Bloomington, IL driver Billy Drake picking up the victory on night one. In recent years Drake, who recorded his last Summer Nationals victory in 2003 at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, IN, has been racing a limited schedule. Keep a lookout for more drivers looking to pull off the upset over the tour travelers during Legends Week.
The return of Bobby Pierce to the DIRTcar Summer Nationals is sure to shake things up during Legends Week with the 2017 Champion set to run several races over the next two weeks. With tour wins at many of the Legends Week tracks over the past two seasons Pierce will be looking to play spoiler to the 2018 tour regulars.
Legends Week begins June 19th at Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville, IL. Visit thehelltour.com/schedule to view the entire 2018 tour schedule. Follow @Summernationals on Twitter and Facebook for updates during and between race seasons.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Welcome 20th Child!
by Emily Trainham at December 1, 2016 10:00 am . Updated at December 5, 2016 11:04 am .
A lot of times, we kind of look down on the Duggars, you know, because of that oldest boy, the one who molested his own sisters and cheated on his wife.
But sometimes, this family is alright.
Sometimes they're even amazing.
This is one of those times.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have added one more child to their big ol' brood, bringing their total number of children up to 20.
"But how?" you might be wondering, and not without good reason.
"Michelle is 49 years old! I didn't even know she was pregnant!"
And the answer, friends, is that Jim Bob and Michelle welcomed their 20th kid not through the magic of her womb, but the law.
OK, so Michelle has a 23-year-old niece, Rachel Hutchins, right?
Rachel is in a bad place in her life right now, to say the least.
Not like people you know who are in a bad place. A very bad place.
Hutchins is not only unemployed, she's homeless, and she's on probation for some breaking and entering she did back in April.
That's sad enough all by itself, but Rachel also has an eight-year-old son, Tyler, who was paying the ultimate price for her troubles.
It gets even sadder still: Rachel's mother (Michelle's sister) was taking care of Tyler, but she had a stroke over the summer.
That sad event left her unable to continue looking after the boy, a turn of events that most families couldn't even imagine.
Yet, it brings us to the part of this story that's so uplifting.
Michelle Duggar stepped in, took charge of the situation, and she and Jim Bob were granted temporary custody of their great-nephew.
So sweet, right? Well, it's about to get even better ...
Now we're hearing that the Duggars have gotten permanent custody of Tyler! And that makes him, in a strange, beautiful way, their 20th child.
The way the matter played out legally is interesting.
According to court documents, the Duggars' attorney stated that the boy's mother, Hutchins, was deemed unfit to continue parenting.
Rachel "recently exhibited a pattern of behavior demonstrating that she is presently unable to meet Tyler's health, safety, and other needs."
As such, she agreed to turn Tyler over to Michelle.
Rachel consented to the guardianship - and reportedly agreed to support the Duggars' plan to adopt Tyler, along with supervised visitation.
As for Jim Bob and Michelle, a new report from celebrity gossip magazine In Touch claims that they "couldn't be happier right now."
"Jim Bob and Michelle have made the child feel right at home," a source says of the newly-expanded family. "They treat him like their own."
"He looks up to them as parents."
Adorably, the couple's children - some of whom are older, but others are closer to the boy's age - have warmly welcomed Tyler, too.
Duggar Family Marriage Tips: Yes, These Are Real Quotes
What a precious little story, to say the least. And a much-needed one, after all the Duggar heartache over the last year and a half.
After all, there's nothing like a heartwarming story about love, kindness, and family to make you forget all about, well, everything else.

The FHA 203(K) Streamline obtained its name because it simplifies the loan process by not requiring the extra cost and details found in its counterpart, the FHA 203(K) loan.
This loan program is available only to people who plan to use the properties for which they are getting the loans as their primary residences. If a current homeowner needs to rehab his existing home, he can use this program. Nonprofit organizations can also qualify for this loan program. It is not available to investors who will not be living in the property.
The program is focused on single-family, owner-occupied properties, but it is not limited to those. Homeowners can also use this loan to purchase condominiums or town homes. It can be used to purchase multi-family properties of up to 4 units.
Property owners can also use the loan to increase or decrease the number of units in a property. For example, this will allow the conversion of a single-family home to a triplex or converting a duplex to a single-family home.
The loan cannot be used to purchase new construction properties. The property must be at least 1 year old. Properties can be located in a planned unit development (PUD).
The FHA 203(K) Streamline loan was designed to purchase properties that required light or cosmetic repairs. For this reason, the program has a cap of $35,000 for repairs and other costs. There is no minimum repair cost for this loan. Other costs include the loan's closing costs, up to two inspections fees, a certified inspection report and a supplemental origination fee.
Rehab work must commence within 30 days after closing and must be completed within 6 months. The homeowner cannot be displaced from the house for more than 30 days during this 6-month period.
Homeowners who are qualified can perform the rehab work themselves. "Qualified" is usually satisfied if the homeowner works in the construction trade or is a licensed contractor. Any contractors working on the home must be licensed and bonded. In addition, they must complete a W-9 prior to closing.
The FHA 203(K) Streamline loan cannot be used for repairs that HUD considers to be 'major.' This includes any new construction to the property, such as adding on a new room. It cannot be used to finance any structural repairs needed on the property. All rehab work must be completed within 6 months. It does not provide for landscaping.
The FHA 203(K) Streamline loan can be either a fixed-rate loan or an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). The homeowner cannot get any cash out on this program since it is designed for purchase and rate and term refinances only.
The outstanding mortgage balance cannot exceed the purchase price of the house. Monies designated for the rehab are held in escrow. The money is paid out after the work is complete during specified milestones. Any excess funds in escrow after the work is complete will be applied to the principal balance.


Originally, this was going to be the background to a painting for one of my art ideas but I got a little carried away in its abstraction. A few of my friends saw it and convinced me to leave it as it is. Every time I look at it from afar, I get lost in the beauty of the colors.
