This web page presents both historical and up-to-date definitions of common physical units used on this web site.
Where a year was measured by counting exposures of the sun. Note that due to revolution of Earth around the sun there are 366 exposures to a fixed star per year.
Historically a metre was defined by the distance between two scratches on a metal bar located in a temperature controlled vault in Paris. A metre was intended to be approximately equal to (1 / 10,000,000) of the distance along Earth's surface between Earth's equator and its geometric North Pole.
Historically a kilogram was defined as the mass of a chunk of metal stored in a vault in Paris.
During the later part of the 20th century it became increasingly apparent that these fundamental unit definitions were not sufficiently stable. Moreover it was shown that the perception of time depends on the path and relative motion of observers. For example, clocks on mountain tops run faster than clocks at sea level. A furthe rproblem is that the period of rotation of planet Earth changes over time.
Scratches on a metal bar lack the position resolution required for really accurate linear dimension measurements.
A standard mass in a storage vault potentially loses mass through corrosion and handling every time it is used as a mass comparison reference.
Today we need a new set of metric unit standards which approximately equal to the old set of standards but which will be stable over time and will remain universally accessible. The contemplated new standards assign values to natural physical constants rather than to physical objects that must be stored in a vault and which are subject to deterioration with usage.
g) Avogadro number Na = 6.02214076 X 10^23 / mole.
A second object is to minimize uncertainty issues in data reporting relating to the Fine Structure constant Alpha. The solution to this problem is to express energy and mass units in terms of a fixed Planck Constant h so that the effect of the Fine Structure Constant Alpha is clear.
Certain atoms absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation at specific frequencies. In a solar spectrum these absorption/emission frequencies appear as dark lines in the spectrum. One spectral line is very narrow and is due to a ground state hyperfine electron energy transition in the isotope cesium-133. For several practical reasons this particular energy transition of cesium-133 is convenient for use as a time unit standard.
The speed of light C in combination with the cesium ground state hyperfine energy transition frequency defines a metre as a unit of distance.
Incorporated in the Planck Constant h is the Fine Structure constant Alpha. The new system of units chooses a value for h which makes new kg approximately equal to old kg. Due to the change in h required to accomplish this goal there is a slight change in the size of a quantum charge Q and hence in the definition of a coulomb. There are further slight changes to the vacuum permiability Muo and and vacuum permittivity Epsilono. There is a complication that Alpha is not unique. Alpha takes a series of close values that are only unique if the measured system is in the same quantum state as the system used to measure Alpha. This quantum state is dependent upon the environmental conditions. For example Alpha for a free electron in a vacuum may differ slightly from Alpha for an electron in a solid. Hence if the Fine Structure constant Alpha is used as a standard it is essential that the quantum state of the Alpha measurement system be specified.
C = speed of light.
The wavelength Lamdac of cesium as a fraction of a metre could in principle be measured using a geometrically precise diffusion grating.
which value defines a second. If the cesium is at 0 degrees K in a field free enclosure the precision of this frequency is better than 1 second in 300 years.
is the same for all inertial observers.
which is in the microwave region.
where h is a constant which is actually a composite of other constants. Thus in circumstances where Fp can be measured Ep can be determined.
The constant h can be experimentally measured or can be calculated from first principles as set out elsewhere on this web site.
where h is chosen as 6.636070150 X 10^-34 J-s to make the redefined kilogram closely match the historic kilogram. However, changing h in this manner modifies the definitions of quantum charge Q, vacuum permiability Muo and vacuum permittivity Epsilono.
in order to match existing kg.

Bob: Your articles have been preaching doom and gloom for years. It isn't happening. If I had followed the advice of the articles you have posted I would be still working. Instead I have invested almost everything i dividend paying stocks and because of the tax cuts I am taking home more money than when I was working. I do like the articles on climate change. I am most worried about events in the South China Sea and Ukraine. That will mess things up long before any monetary crisis.
Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for reading my blog.
I tend to re-blog what makes sense to me or should interest my readers. Sometimes, what's said turns out either to be wrong or taking longer than expected. Since my blog has been around for only a few years, I think it's reasonable to wait for judgement a little while longer. Will Social Security explode? Yes, but who knows when. Will the Dollar lose reserve status and all its benefits. Yes, it's happening if you look at China, Russia, and a bunch of other countries. Will Gold & Silver go much higher? Yes, it's happening.
As for your specific issue which has yet to happen, please say what it is, and we can talk about it.

Phil Collins Tells Rolling Stone He's Contemplated Suicide — Well So Have We, Every Time We've Ever Listened To 'In The Air Tonight'
Simone Wilson November 11, 2010
This week's issue of Rolling Stone featured an EXCLUSIVE interview with Sting — er, Phil Collins. (Remember when RS wrote about shit that was relevant, instead of resorting to a loop of Mick Jagger career retrospectives and top-5,000 lists in which the first 1,000 entries are Bob Dylan?)
Anyway, Collins is now apparently a recluse in Switzerland. The part no one can get enough of: He admits he's had suicidal thoughts.
"I wouldn't blow my head off," he tells the magazine. "I'd overdose or do something that didn't hurt. … A comedian who committed suicide in the '60s left a note saying,'Too many things went wrong too often.' I often think about that."
Weird — we kind of remember thinking about that a few times, too. Pretty sure it was every time we ever heard "In the Air Tonight."
Not that it's a bad song (and who could truly hate it after watching Mike Tyson do an air drum-punch to that epic moment the beat drops?). It's just that it's goddamn depressing. And not in that satisfying way that makes you mad, like — "I hate myself! Yeah! I suck! Let's get hammered!"
More like that creepy, subtle way that makes you actually not want to go on living.
The candlelight flickers. Your blood is mixing with the bathwater. Just when you're wondering if you should reach for the phone before it's too late, the '80s pop sensation whispers in your ear:
"Well, if you told me you were drowning/
I would not lend a hand"
And you thank Phil for reminding you that nobody has ever loved you.
Then you remember that scene in "The Lion King" where Simba and Nala are falling in love beneath a waterfall. Which is actually kind of nice, until you also remember that Mufasa dies in the end.
At that point, it's all over.

It's been a while since I have mentioned the gazebo but frankly not much was happening with it. The last few days have seen some good progress, though. Hubby got the roof system designed and built. He even got it up to the top of the posts without killing himself! I'm glad I was at work while this was going on because I would have worried myself silly.
Anyway, he took a bunch of pictures of the process and I thought you might like to see them. So here they are.
Hubby decided that the easiest way to build the roof would be to do it down on the floor of the gazebo and then dissemble most of it and just lift up the minimal amount that would be needed to put the king-post up in the air. This turned out to be a good decision because it took a couple of tries to get the right dimensions and angles for those main trusses.
Apparently the top surface of a roof truss is a good place to do your calculating. I'm sure that Einstein made fewer notes as he was developing his theory of general relativity. This will all be hidden once the roof goes on but it will be there for posterity.
This is the start of the secondary roof which will cover the upper vents. Hopefully, these vents will allow the heat to escape on those hot summer days. This little roof took about three days to come out of the design stage. Hubby first thought that it should have its own little king-post and spent HOURS cutting samples and test pieces only to abandon the whole plan. Eventually he chose to just attach them all at the peak and this seems to have worked out fine.
This is the entire roof truss structure completed. At this point it was ready to be disassembled and moved up to the top of the posts. You can see some of the straps that he was using to cinch in the trusses to the king-post. They were just temporary and were removed later.
The king-post has been trimmed and finished out and the first of the main trusses has been bolted on. He had decided that four trusses and the king-post would be enough structure to keep things from collapsing but still be light enough to lift by himself.
This is the main roof ready to be lifted to the top of the posts. A little bit of bracing and he was ready for the big lift!
The lift was planned to go up in four steps each of which would only require one side to go up about four feet. He added some temporary boards to the post to catch the tails of the trusses so that he could lever the opposite side.
The halfway point and there were no dead bodies or blood anywhere. Apparently it was going to work out as planned!
Only one more step to go. It was a little tricky for the last two steps because they had to be done from the top of the ladder.
Now that it is up there we are getting a better feel for the scale of this thing and we think that is going to be just perfect but, boy, is it tall!
Hubby took a little break after getting most of the remaining lower roof trusses reattached. The day was just blazing hot, well into the 90's.
Break time was over, and it was back to work. Here he was reattaching the secondary trusses and that required the extension ladder. We are still "discussing" whether he will need to rent staging to complete the roof.
It was late in the day when he got it all done and I think he was pretty pleased with himself. After I got home from work he spent about an hour circling the building going "ooh" and "ahh". Here he is gazing lovingly at his creation. That's my little carpenter!
Now that it is up in the air you really see how complicated that whole part is. No wonder there were so many calculations earlier on. Hey Hubby! Is it too late to add some sky lights?
There were all these little pieces of off-cut two-by-fours lying around so I decided that the best way to clean them up was to have a bonfire in my fire pit. It was just blazing for over an hour. What a productive day!
Wow, looking forward to seeing the final result!!
Your hubby is doing a great job! I suspect that tourism will be skyrocketing in PEI once again , thanks to Regis and Kelly being there on location this week. I'd say the gov't of PEI was smart to spend the million dollars on the show.
Sam is probably right about the Regis and Kelly thing. I wish the polititians here on the Witch's Island were as insightful.
Wow...complicated project-looking great! I love the satisfaction of working on a project and sticking to it no matter what-the end result being just so....satisfying! This is going to look great once it's done! Love your fire-pit and your garden in the back looks great too!!!
I hope so, too. With all the redesign work going on in Hubby's head it is becoming less likely every day. Maybe I'll get in there by November!
I can't wait to see the finished results. Also I love the trellises (sp?) in your veggie patch. Mine is a weed infested veggie patch!!

1.3. GLI Business Solutions may amend these terms and conditions by notifying the customer of the changes in detail. The changes will become effective within two months after receipt of the change notification by the customer, provided that the customer does not object to them. Should the customer object, the changes shall become effective as of the date on which the contractual relationship would have been terminated by an ordinary notice of termination issued by GLI Business Solutions at the time of the notification of the change. In this case, the customer may terminate the contractual relationship without notice at the time when the changes would become effective following its objection. The two-month period shall only commence if, in the notification of change, the customer has been informed of the consequences of remaining silent and of its right to object and to terminate the contract.
Offer, conclusion of the contract
2.1. GLI Business Solutions' offers are non-binding, in particular with regard to prices, quantities, delivery times, delivery options and ancillary services.
2.2. With the exception of managing directors or authorised signatories, the employees of GLI Business Solutions shall not be entitled to make verbal agreements deviating from these terms and conditions. This shall apply, in particular, to the assumption of guarantees.
2.3. The scope of the services to be provided by GLI Business Solutions shall be determined solely by written contracts. Where applicable, the distributor agreement, the individual licence conditions for licensed products of GLI Business Solutions, the individual licence conditions for licensed products of Microsoft Deutschland GmbH or Microsoft Corp. Redmond/USA, the conditions for software maintenance and support services, as well as the present general terms and conditions of business shall apply in the order set out below.
3.1. The place of performance shall be the registered office of GLI Business Solutions. Deliveries shall take place ex warehouse.
3.2. The delivery dates indicated by GLI Business Solutions are approximate based on GLI Business Solutions' estimates. As such, they shall always be non-binding, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
3.3. The customer shall not be entitled to refuse acceptance of the products or services on account of insignificant defects that do not materially impair their use. In the event that the customer breaches its acceptance obligation or any other obligation to cooperate, GLI Business Solutions shall be entitled to claim the resulting damages, including additional expenses, from the customer. In this case, the risk of accidental loss or accidental damage of the delivered items shall pass to the customer at the time of the breach of duty.
3.4. The customer shall assume an obligation to inspect and give notice of defects in respect of all deliveries and services provided by GLI Business Solutions in accordance with Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).
Prices, terms of payment, assignment
4.1. The prices of GLI Business Solutions are net prices. Any delivery and shipping costs, value added tax and all support services, in particular installation planning, installation of the software, training, preparation for use or other forms of advice shall not be included and shall be remunerated separately on a time and material basis.
4.2. Where services are remunerated on a time and material basis, the hourly rates, travel expenses and incidental expenses shall be based on the respective rates of GLI Business Solutions.
4.3. Payment shall be due immediately upon receipt of the goods or provision of the service and shall be made without deduction immediately upon receipt of the invoice.
4.4. Payment shall be made by bank transfer to GLI Business Solutions. GLI Business Solutions shall not be obliged to accept payment by cheque or bill of exchange. In any case, payment by cheque or by bill of exchange shall only be accepted as conditional payment. The submission of a cheque or bill of exchange shall not result in a deferment of the claim. The costs associated with the realisation of a cheque or bill of exchange shall be borne by the customer.
If the customer defaults on any payment obligation, or if circumstances arise as a result of which the financial position of the customer deteriorates or its creditworthiness is impaired, all other claims of GLI Business Solutions against the customer shall become due immediately. In this event, GLI Business Solutions shall be entitled to withdraw from the software contracts and to withhold the provision of further services until payment has been made in full.
4.6. The customer shall only be entitled to set-offs if its counterclaims have been legally established, are undisputed or have been recognised by GLI Business Solutions. Furthermore, the customer shall only be entitled to exercise a right of retention if its counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
4.7. The rights and obligations arising from the contracts concluded with GLI Business Solutions may not be transferred by the customer to a third party without the consent of GLI Business Solutions.
4.8. If an assignment made without the consent of GLI Business Solutions is nevertheless effective pursuant to Section 354a of the German Commercial Code (HGB), this shall not affect the right of GLI Business Solutions to set off any counterclaims, including against the customer as an existing creditor.
Cooperation of the customer
5.1. The implementation and use of the software requires the cooperation of both parties. Therefore, the customer shall support GLI Business Solutions in the performance of its contractual obligations to the extent that this is necessary from the point of view of GLI Business Solutions. In particular, the customer shall, at GLI Business Solutions' request, provide GLI Business Solutions with the information required for this purpose at any time and grant access to the software, documentation and other materials as well as to all places where the software installed by GLI Business Solutions is located.
5.2. Both parties shall appoint a contact person who shall be responsible for all relevant questions and decisions.
5.3. The establishment of a functional hardware and software environment of sufficient capacity shall be the sole responsibility of the customer, also taking into account the additional requirements due to the software.
Liability of GLI Business Solution
6.1. GLI Business Solutions shall be liable for negligent conduct in accordance with the public liability insurance it has taken out. GLI Business Solutions shall provide the customer with a copy of the terms and conditions of the insurance policy upon request.
6.2. The aforementioned liability provisions shall also apply to the employees and other vicarious agents of GLI Business Solutions.
Should the customer require an extension of liability beyond the scope of that specified in Clause 6.1, the customer shall bear the costs incurred to cover this additional risk. For this purpose, the customer shall inform GLI Business Solutions of the extent of the additional insurance cover required. GLI Business Solutions shall then obtain a quotation for the additional insurance cover from its public liability insurer and inform the customer of the costs to be incurred. If the customer agrees to these additional costs, GLI Business Solutions shall immediately arrange for the additional insurance cover. The extension of liability under Clause 6.1 shall become effective at the time when the additional insurance cover commences. Accordingly, the extension of liability shall end when the additional insurance cover ceases to apply.
Liability for defects in quality and title
7.1. Unless otherwise provided below, the liability for material defects for services provided by GLI Business Solutions shall be governed by the relevant statutory provisions.
7.2. Warranty claims shall not apply in the event of an insignificant deviation from the agreed or expected quality or an insignificant impairment of usability.
7.3. The customer is aware that the functioning of software depends on a large number of factors, given the complexity of the product. GLI Business Solution therefore only guarantees the technical usability of the software in accordance with the service description provided to the customer. In particular, GLI Business Solutions does not warrant that the software complies with the specific operational requirements of the customer, unless this is expressly agreed in the contract. It shall be the customer's sole responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the requested service for the intended purpose.
7.4. In the event that the customer itself or a third party has made any changes to the software, the customer may not claim that the software is defective unless the customer proves that the defect was not caused by these changes.
7.5. The customer shall be obliged to thoroughly test the software immediately after delivery and before use to ensure that it is free of defects and, in particular, that it can be used in the existing hardware and software configuration. The customer shall notify GLI Business Solutions in writing without delay of any defects detected during the inspection, as well as of any other defects once they have been detected, in each case specifying the defect and the time of detection. Should the customer fail to comply with this duty of notification in a proper and timely manner, the service shall be deemed to have been approved by the customer.
7.6. The customer shall report obvious defects without delay, at the latest within two weeks after delivery. Other defects shall be reported immediately after discovery. The notification of defects must be made in writing and shall be accompanied by a clear description of the defect. The notice of defect should make it possible to reproduce the defect. No liability shall apply for defects not notified in due time. Any statutory obligations to inspect and give notice of defects shall remain unaffected.
7.7. The foregoing shall also apply if GLI Business Solutions makes products available for download in non-physical form. The notification period for obvious defects shall end no later than 12 weeks after GLI Business Solution has made the respective product available for download via the internet.
7.8. Any defects in the software supplied (defects in quality and title), including in the manuals and other documents, shall be remedied by GLI Business Solution after notification by the customer within the warranty period of one year commencing with the delivery. This shall be done, at the discretion of GLI Business Solution, by eliminating the defect (rectification) or by delivering defect-free software (replacement). Defects may also be remedied by supplying or installing a new version of the program or a workaround. Should the defect not impair the functionality or only impair it insignificantly, GLI Business Solutions shall be entitled to remedy the defect by supplying a new version or an update within the scope of its version, update and upgrade planning. The customer shall support GLI Business Solution in remedying the defect and shall, in particular, provide all information and documents necessary for remedying the defect.
7.9. In the event of a replacement, GLI Business Solutions shall also be entitled to deliver a new program version with at least the same scope of functions, unless this is unreasonable for the user, for example because it would require a different operating system or more powerful hardware. Any further training on the part of the customer to become acquainted with a possibly modified program structure or user guidance shall not be deemed unreasonable in principle.
7.10. If the software is to be returned to GLI Business Solutions for the purpose of repair or replacement, the customer shall bear the transport costs incurred.
7.11. If the defect cannot be remedied within a reasonable period of time, or if the repair or replacement is deemed to have failed for other reasons, the user may, at its discretion, reduce the purchase price (abatement), withdraw from the contract, claim damages or compensation for futile expenses. The latter two claims shall be governed by Clause 6 of these terms and conditions. Withdrawal from the contract shall not exclude the right to claim damages.
7.12. The rectification or replacement shall only be deemed to have failed if GLI Business Solutions has been given sufficient opportunity to rectify or replace the defective product without the desired result being achieved; if such rectification or replacement is impossible; if such rectification or replacement is refused or unreasonably delayed by GLI Business Solutions; if there are reasonable doubts as to the prospects of success; or if such rectification or replacement is unreasonable for other reasons.
7.13. If it becomes apparent that any services requested by the user and provided by GLI Business Solutions were not actually required as a result of a breach of duty by GLI Business Solutions, the customer shall pay for these services and reimburse the costs incurred by GLI Business Solutions.
7.14. Except in the case of claims for damages, the limitation period for claims arising from material defects shall be 12 months. This period shall commence upon delivery of the hotfix, service pack or new program version.
Industrial property rights and copyrights
8.1. If and to the extent that a third party asserts justified claims against the customer for infringement of an industrial property right or copyright ("property rights") by a service developed and/or provided by GLI Business Solutions, GLI Business Solutions shall be liable as follows, unless otherwise provided by law:
a) GLI Business Solutions shall, at its own discretion and at its own expense, either obtain a right of use for the service developed and/or provided, modify the service in such a way that the property rights are no longer infringed or replace the service, provided that this does not impair the use of the service as provided for in the contract. If and to the extent that GLI Business Solutions cannot definitively grant the customer the contractual right of use by taking the measures referred to under Point 1, the customer shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract after setting a reasonable deadline.
b) GLI Business Solutions shall only be obliged to take the aforementioned measures if the customer immediately notifies GLI Business Solutions in writing of the claims asserted by the third party while specifying the infringement; if the customer does not acknowledge that an infringement has taken place; and if the customer grants GLI Business Solutions all decision-making powers regarding the legal defence and the conduct of settlement negotiations without restriction. If the customer discontinues the use of the service for reasons of mitigation of damages or other important reasons, it shall be obliged to point out to the third party that the discontinuation of use does not constitute an acknowledgement of an infringement of property rights.
8.2. Claims of the customer according to Clause 8.1 shall be excluded if and to the extent that the customer is responsible for the infringement of property rights. Claims of the customer shall also be excluded if and to the extent that the infringement of property rights was caused by any special instructions of the customer, by an application not foreseeable by GLI Business Solutions or by the fact that the service was modified by the customer or used together with services not provided by GLI Business Solutions.
8.3. The customer shall be obliged to support GLI Business Solutions to the best of its ability in defending itself against the infringement of property rights. The customer shall notify GLI Business Solutions without delay of any infringement of third-party property rights with regard to the software supplied by GLI Business Solutions and shall leave the legal defence to GLI Business Solutions at the latter's expense.
8.4. Conversely, the customer shall indemnify GLI Business Solutions against all claims made by third parties against GLI Business Solutions for infringement of an industrial property right or copyright if the infringement results from an explicit instruction given by the customer to GLI Business Solutions, or if the customer has modified the service or integrated it into a third-party system.
9.1. The parties undertake to keep secret from third parties all confidential information mutually obtained in the course of the pre-contractual or contractual relations and to use it only for the purposes and within the scope of their contractual relations, and in particular not to exploit it commercially or non-commercially themselves.
9.2. The parties undertake to maintain secrecy with regard to any confidential information they have obtained even after termination of the contractual relationship. The disclosure of confidential information shall not grant the customer any rights to use this information. Any warranty and liability for contractual information shall be excluded.
9.3. The parties are aware that a breach of this confidentiality agreement may result in damage to the party disclosing the information. The right to assert claims for damages shall be expressly reserved for any breach of this confidentiality agreement.
10.1. GLI Business Solutions shall comply with the statutory data protection requirements.
10.2. Where GLI Business Solutions places orders with subcontractors, it shall be incumbent upon GLI Business Solutions to assign its obligations under this contract to these subcontractors. Point 1 shall apply, in particular, to the provisions regarding confidentiality, data protection and data security.
Set-off, retention, assignment
11.1. The customer shall only be entitled to set-offs if its counterclaims have been legally established, are undisputed or have been recognised by GLI Business Solutions. Furthermore, the customer shall only be entitled to exercise a right of retention if its counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
11.2. The rights and obligations arising from the contracts concluded with GLI Business Solutions may not be transferred by the customer to a third party without the consent of GLI Business Solutions.
11.3. If an assignment made without the consent of GLI Business Solutions is nevertheless effective pursuant to Section 354a of the German Commercial Code (HGB), this shall not affect the right of GLI Business Solutions to set off any counterclaims, including against the customer as an existing creditor.
Place of jurisdiction
12.1. If the customer is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship shall be the registered office of GLI Business Solutions GmbH (25524 Itzehoe).
B. Special conditions for the provision of software
Provision of standard software
13.1. The customer acquires the standard software ("software"), which is specified in more detail in the software contracts, from GLI Business Solutions, including the associated user documentation in electronic or printed form ("user documentation"), subject to the agreed terms of use.
13.2. The source code of the software shall only be part of the subject matter of the contract if and to the extent that this has been expressly agreed.
13.3. The service description of GLI Business Solutions shall be the definitive reference for the quality of the software. GLI Business Solutions shall not be obliged to provide any software with properties deviating from this description. In particular, the customer may not derive such an obligation from other representations of the software in public statements or in advertising by GLI Business Solutions or its employees or sales partners, unless GLI Business Solutions has expressly confirmed the divergent properties in writing.
Granting of a right of use
14.1. GLI Business Solutions grants the customer a simple, non-exclusive right, unlimited in time, to use the software on its computer equipment to the extent specified in the software contracts. Accordingly, the most recent version of the Microsoft licence terms for the use of Microsoft Dynamics NAV shall also apply to licensed products of GLI Business Solution.
14.2. Rights of use granted by GLI Business Solutions may only be transferred in their entirety, including all documentation and all existing data carriers. Prior to the transfer, the customer shall delete the software and all copies thereof from all its systems. A transfer shall only be permitted if the new user concludes the mandatory contracts for the use of the software with GLI Business Solution and uses the software exclusively in accordance with said contracts.
14.3. If, within the scope of rectification or maintenance, GLI Business Solutions provides the customer with any supplementary software (e.g. patches) or a new edition of the software (e.g. updates/upgrades) that replaces the software that was previously provided, these shall be subject to the present terms and conditions.
14.4. If GLI Business Solutions provides a new version of the software, the customer's rights with respect to the previously provided software shall expire as soon as the customer actively uses the new software. However, GLI Business Solutions shall grant the customer a three-month transitional period during which both versions of the software may be used in parallel.
Retention of title
15.1. GLI Business Solutions retains ownership of the delivered data carriers as well as the right to use the software they contain until the purchase price has been paid in full. If the customer is a merchant, the aforementioned reservations shall apply until full payment of all claims arising from the business relationship. This shall also apply if any or all claims of GLI Business Solutions have been entered into a current account and the balance has been drawn and acknowledged. Upon full acquisition of ownership of the data carriers, the customer shall acquire the rights of use specified in each case.
15.2. The customer shall keep the goods subject to retention of title in safe custody on behalf of GLI Business Solutions with all due care and shall insure them adequately against fire, water, theft and other risks of damage at its own expense. The customer shall assign its corresponding claims under the insurance contracts to GLI Business Solutions already upon conclusion of the present agreement. GLI Business Solutions shall accept the assignment.
15.3. The customer hereby assigns to GLI Business Solutions all claims arising from the resale of the goods or the re-licensing of the software. The customer shall be entitled to collect these claims subject to revocation. At the request of GLI Business Solutions, the customer shall disclose the assigned claims and the respective debtors. GLI Business Solutions shall be entitled to disclosure of any such assignment to the customer's debtors.
15.4. In the event of a breach of contract on the part of the customer, in particular default of payment, or an expected suspension of payments, GLI Business Solutions shall be entitled to recover the goods subject to retention of title at the expense of the customer, or to demand the assignment of any claims of the customer against third parties for their surrender. These rights shall also apply if the secured claims are time-barred. GLI Business Solutions shall be entitled to realise the goods subject to retention of title, if necessary, and to satisfy such claims from the proceeds of the sale, by setting them off against any outstanding claims.
15.5. Where GLI Business Solutions has the right to recover the goods subject to retention of title pursuant to the preceding clause, GLI Business Solutions shall be entitled to collect the goods subject to retention of title still in the possession of the customer at the latter's expense. The customer shall allow the employees of GLI Business Solutions who have been authorised to collect the reserved goods access to its business premises during office hours, even without prior notification.
15.6. The exercise of the rights arising from the reservation of title or a request to surrender shall not be deemed a withdrawal from the contract.
C. Special conditions for adjustments
Implementation of adjustments
16.1. Each of the parties shall appoint a project manager for the duration of the project. The realisation of the project shall be coordinated between the project leaders.

Unless GLI Business Solutions rejects the change as unreasonable within 14 calendar days from receipt of the request for change or invokes a review pursuant to the following clause, GLI Business Solutions shall implement the changes.
16.4. If the request for change requires GLI Business Solutions to carry out an extensive investigation as to whether and under what conditions the change is feasible, GLI Business Solutions may demand remuneration for such investigation to the extent that it has notified the customer thereof in writing and the customer has subsequently issued a written order for the investigation to be carried out; the deadline by the end of which the customer must have been notified in writing of the result of the investigation shall be determined by mutual agreement.
16.5.

Should GLI Business Solutions fail to do so, it shall be obliged to perform the amended service within the framework of the existing agreements.
16.6. Should GLI Business Solutions request an amendment of the contract, the customer shall notify GLI Business Solutions within two weeks whether it accepts the amendment of the contract or not.
16.7. Irrespective of the aforementioned procedure, amendments may be mutually agreed between the project managers at any time.

no changes to the prices and to the terms of the contract are agreed, the services shall be performed within the framework of the contractual terms agreed up to that point.
16.8. Should the latest service descriptions of the system contain any contradictions which cannot be resolved by the project steering committee, the version that GLI Business Solutions deems to be more favourable shall prevail.

Q: How can I have auto-width content in flexbox without destroying the layout? (take as much space as necessary and as little space as possible) I have an example on JSFiddle on how I want to solve my issue with flexbox: I want the left column to fit the width accordingly to the content - break a line if the text is too long. Unfortunately it always takes as little space as possible, which results in breaking the layout.
I have a fiddle below, first you see two blocks with how it looks now, below you see 2 blocks how I want it to look like (I've defined fixed width for visual reasons, but I want it to be dynamically with flexbox, obviously).
I'm pretty sure I can do this easily but I can't see the wood for the trees. Any kind of help is highly appreciated :)

.flex {
  display: flex;
  background: #333;
  max-width: 380px;
}

.first {
  flex: 0;
  background: #666;
}

.second {
  flex: 1;

Analysts tip surgeries to rebound. Rising COVID-19 cases threaten those forecasts.
Posted on March 30, 2021 by ericadminchia
Wall Street analysts are predicting recovery of elective surgery volumes after analyzing a consumer sentiment survey and hospital tracking data, but the forecasts come amid a stark warning from the head of the CDC that rising COVID-19 metrics jeopardizes progress.
Results from two surveys from Needham and Jefferies suggest people are visiting hospitals more and are increasingly comfortable with undergoing elective procedures. If, as Needham analysts predict, the trends translate into a significant increase in procedure volumes, medical device sales could bounce back.
A major caveat comes with data highlighted by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, who warned rising COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths suggest the U.S. is on the same trajectory as European countries that are now contending with third waves. New cases are on the rise, Walensky said, noting data show a 10% rise in new cases over the past week. Deaths are starting to rise, too, close to 3 percent, for an average of 1,000 deaths daily. In some states the spike is much more dramatic, especially in Michigan, which is experiencing a 57% increase in cases after rolling back restrictions.
Over the past year, the volume of elective surgical procedures has ebbed and flowed as societies have opened up and closed down in response to changes in the COVID-19 case count. The surge in cases in the U.S. around the turn of the year suppressed volumes, causing sales to fall at companies including Edwards Lifesciences and Intuitive Surgical. For hospitals, suspending electives caused them to lose out on more than $20 billion at the outset of the pandemic.
COVID-19 cases fell steeply from mid-January onward. Analysts at Jefferies and Needham have gone over different datasets to determine if the improvement in the COVID-19 situation points to a more significant return of elective procedures.
The Needham analysts asked 255 people about their willingness to undergo elective procedures. The March survey showed 56% of people would be comfortable having a procedure done within the next three months, compared to 44% of respondents to the January survey.
"We believe that this survey shows that consumer sentiment towards elective procedures improved significantly from our survey in January, which probably isn't too surprising given decreasing infection rates and increasing vaccinations," the analysts wrote in a note to investors. "Given this, we believe that 2Q21 procedure volumes could be significantly better than 1Q21 procedure volumes and at, or even above, pre-pandemic levels."
Analysts at Jefferies analyzed location data from 40 million mobile devices in the U.S. to provide further evidence that surgical volumes could be set to improve. Foot traffic at hospitals rose 1.5% over the prior seven days in the week of March 21. The analysts said foot traffic is "not a perfect gauge of procedure volumes" but nonetheless suggests "trends are improving from recent lows."
Yet, the timing of the analyses means even that cautious forecast could prove to be overly optimistic. Needham collected its responses on March 17. The Jefferies hospital data covers the week of March 21. After falling for weeks, the seven-day rolling average of daily new U.S. COVID-19 cases bottomed out on March 23. Since then, the trend has reversed. The daily average rose 22% between March 23 and March 29.
Walensky and other top health officials are worried, to put it mildly, by the trend.
"I'm going to lose the script. And I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom. We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope, but right now I'm scared," Walensky said.
The fear is underpinned by the similarity between rising COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the U.S. and the situations in European countries such as Germany, Italy and France a few weeks ago. Daily deaths in Italy increased 55% throughout March. Daily cases in France rose 74% over the same period.

William Byrd (c1540-1623) was one of the finest composers of the Tudor period. Though a Catholic who plied his trade during the reign of the Protestant Elizabeth I – a notoriously fraught era for those on the wrong side of the religious divide – he was so highly rated by the queen that she gave him (along with Thomas Tallis, a fellow Catholic) an exclusive licence to publish music.
Almost 600 of his pieces have survived: church music with Latin texts; church music with English texts; partsongs and madrigals; consort songs; instrumental ensemble music; and keyboard music.
Dating from 1591, this extraordinary compilation of 42 of Byrd's finest keyboard pieces includes 'The Battell', a descriptive piece written in response to the Irish Rebellions.
Widely thought to be Byrd's finest liturgical music, the Great Service is a highly inventive, dramatic and colourful score for ten-part choir.
These intricate works combine voice and viols in magical union, the latter not simply a vocal accompaniment; they provide counterpoint-rich music of their own.
Taken from Book II of the Cantiones Sacrae (Sacred Songs), Byrd plays beautifully with rhythm, changing constantly between two- and three-time. There's sprightly interplay between vocal parts too.
Four minutes of choral heaven. Byrd carresses the words with his most beautiful and, in many ways, his most simple music.


Anyone who has a website knows how important it is to ensure that it stays up and running at all times, no matter what. Having a solid backup and restore service is vital to your website and business if you are going to guarantee any level of uptime for your followers and customers, but what elements need backing up?
These include things like plugins, customized code, databases, scripts, and so much more. Think of all the time spent editing your media, like photos and videos, or any other content you might have stored for safekeeping. All of it carries value, especially when you factor in how much your time costs as well.
Why Don't We Backup Then?
So, if we know how important it is to back up our websites and to make proper database backups and copies of configuration files and resources, then why don't we do it regularly, or sometimes at all?
For starters, backing up is not a fun or glamorous activity that we look forward to at all. In fact, many people equate tasks like backing up with chores like doing the dishes, or taking out the trash. No wonder backups can be neglected from time to time.
Other times, complacency is the culprit. If you have a service provider that has kept your website online for a very long time without any issues at all, then you are probably thinking you will never need to restore from backup.
It is usually that kind of thinking that lets us neglect the basic disaster recovery steps we need to keep the wheels turning, which can come back to bite us later.
Backing up doesn't have to be a boring chore; in fact, it doesn't even have to be something you need to concern yourself with. There are automated services and tools you can use to streamline the backup and restoration features of your website. They will save you both time and money in the unfortunate event of your website being hacked, deleted accidentally, or otherwise compromised.
Once we identify the potential problems and the remedial steps we can take to resolve these shortcomings, then we are no longer dealing with the unknown, but rather an approachable problem with a very workable solution. So, let's find out — what's the worst that could happen?
Perhaps the biggest consequences of not having proper website backups are time and money. If you have done all the design work yourself, then redoing all of that work will cost you a lot of time.
If you paid somebody else to do it for you, then you might get lucky and find they still have a backup of the original website from when they first developed it for you. But all of your content like your blog and news posts, your creative artwork, and your photographs won't be there.
Also, think about all of the painstaking attention to detail you invested into your website, and how long it would take you to retrace your steps to try and replicate it. Chances are good you would probably end up with a different looking website, or, worse still, a website that functioned only half as well as it used to.
Perhaps you made some performance tweaks and adjustments along the way and you now realize you didn't document these changes anywhere. How would you implement them once your old backup was restored and brought back online? It would be very difficult indeed.
This is probably one of the scariest prospects for an online retailer, especially if you have databases that handle all of your transactions and client information. This is the engine room of your online store, and it needs to be protected and backed up with unfailing consistency and regularity.
Depending on what your local laws are, there may be statutory and governmental standards that need to be complied with for you to operate an online store, with data storage and record keeping being big ones.
Also, think about your financial records that tie in with your online transactions and what would happen if you were to be audited without this vital information. That could open you up to a fine, or worse.
This might sound a bit extreme, but it does happen. If you lose the general look and feel of your website, or perhaps some functions don't quite work like they used to, then you run the risk of alienating returning customers.
We all know that it's easier and cheaper to retain an existing customer than it is to find a new one. Trying to lure people back to a partially working website is not going to fly with modern internet users. This means if you want to retain your visitors, you need to have a backup and restore program at the ready.
This comes up a lot, but it is really important for you to understand: your time is precious. There are probably a million other things you would rather be doing than sitting down to rebuild a website that has inexplicably crashed with no backups, so don't let it happen to you.
OK, Backups Are Important, So, How Do We Do Them?
Now that we have finished scaring you with the unfortunate consequences of a poorly backed up website, we can show you what to do about it! Backing up your website is actually a very simple process, and there are several ways to do it. But, as with most things in life, it will require some effort on your part in the beginning to set it up. There are essentially two different approaches you can take towards backing up your data.
This is the way most people find themselves backing up their website, especially in the beginning when certain processes are still new and there is a need to go over everything manually.
The process is easy, but the pitfalls of using manual backups are that it only takes a little bit of time to forget to perform your backups, and if enough data is missing consecutively, then you run the risk of experiencing data loss.
Simply log in to your website's control panel and look for your cPanel backup feature. This procedure has a wizard that lets you follow an easy step-by-step process, allowing you to perform the backup entirely, including all of your settings and data.
Your cPanel might also have a database backup feature as well, which you can run if you want to ensure you have all of your bases covered. Plugins and other features are also backed up here, so don't forget to include them, too, as well as your configurations for each one.
What you do with your backup is up to you, but the generally accepted best practice is to keep more than one copy of any particular backup. Keep a local copy in case of emergencies, and consider keeping another copy in the cloud as a secure remote backup. That way, you have at least two copies of your website's most recent configuration that can be restored at a moment's notice.
Automated backups are way more convenient: You never have to worry about remembering if you backed up your website as you can opt to receive an email notification on backup completion. If your backup fails for any reason, you can receive a notification for that, too.
Your backup is even more conveniently stored because it goes straight to the cloud where it is kept safe. This gives you an easy-to-access location that your data can be restored from in a moment's notice. Better still, you can schedule multiple backups throughout the day, giving you an up-to-date backup when you need it the most.
Automated backups are really secure: If you are storing local backups of your website on a home computer or flash drive, then you are unfortunately open to security breaches and data loss. As most people know, losing a flash disk or portable hard drive happens all too often.
Even worse for reliability are desktop and laptop hard drives, which are prone to failure. This is not an ideal place to save critical data. The rates of failure are generally low for enterprise hardware such as those found in servers and SAN devices, used by cloud storage data centers.
Instant disaster recovery is possible with automated backup solutions: The incredible convenience automated backups can offer your website make this solution especially useful for website owners.
Imagine that after a late night update to your website code, you suddenly find yourself with missing data or an improperly configured page. You can't call anyone as it is after hours, but you need to be up and running right now. A few simple mouse clicks will have your website back to its original state in next to no time.
Automated backups offer enhanced synchronization: Most people have a selection of devices that they carry around with them or have at their home and office, from tablets and smartphones, to laptops and desktops.
Being able to access the latest copies of your data is really important, and with automated backups, you can access it from multiple connections. This means you will never be without the latest changes that you made to your website.
Automated backups are cheap to implement and are sometimes even free: Many people are surprised to find out that their current hosting provider offers these fantastic benefits already, and all that is required is for them to be set up and configured properly.
Simply ask your current provider how to get it set up and activated; in most cases, it comes as part of your hosting fees, making it really affordable.
Save time with automated backups: We know that remembering to back up your website is a problem, so automated backups will save you those few minutes every day, but there is a far more time consuming exercise that automated backups save you from.
In the event of a catastrophic failure or configuration error, you will find that being able to quickly restore from backup can save you hours, if not days, of rewriting and rebuilding your website from scratch or an outdated backup.
Automated backups with plugins: If you are a WordPress user or you have built up your website from Joomla, there are many different plugin options for you to choose from, and the best part is that some of them are free!
Simply install the automated backup plugin of your choice from the administration panel, follow the easy setup steps, and you are good to go! Once you have finished installing the plugin, you can schedule the backups as often as you like, giving you peace of mind and security, safe in the knowledge that your website is protected from data loss.
You will receive backup success and failure notifications if you choose to set them up, as well as additional backup options such as cloud and turnkey storage solutions. This is perhaps the easiest way to set up your backups and will save you a lot of time and trouble in the future.
Backing up your data doesn't have to be a chore. In fact, you can set it up to be done for you!
We have seen just how easy it is to get set up with an automated backup solution from your current website hosting provider, and that you probably already have the feature set up. If you are not sure about your current automated backup solution, simply give your hosting provider a call and find out when they can set it up for you and if there are any costs involved.
There are even some free plugins that will help you to back up your Joomla or WordPress site if you don't want to use the cPanel configuration, but always go with your hosting provider's recommendations.
Are you backing up your website regularly? How are you doing it?

3 Israeli Startups Disrupting the Publishing Industry
Philip Kushmaro November 18th 2015 4:15 pm
It's no surprise to hear that Israel is at the forefront of technology and innovation. And according to the user-generated content on Mapped in Israel, there are more than 1,500 tech startups currently operating in Israel. In other words, Israel has doubled the amount of startups running in comparison to other cities which tend to be territorially larger in size.
A number of Israeli startups experiencing growth belong to the ad tech world and are enabling the digital advertising revolution. It feels like it was just yesterday, when advertising was all about conceiving a message and spreading it like wildfire – in the hopes of reaching as many customers as possible. Back to the future, advertising is all about technology. Ads are now infused with algorithms that help to achieve instant purchases and are target based, live and increasingly personalized for their audiences.
Israeli innovators are changing the way ads reach customers and how customers are engaging with ads. Let's take a look and get better acquainted with several leading Israeli ad-tech companies that are disrupting the publishing industry and shaping the future of advertising.
For many publishers, grasping the attention of their audience is a feat within itself. They are constantly seeking ways to overcome this challenge and make their websites more appealing to promising readers. One fashionable approach is to bring an interactive element to their sites with interesting content. These interactive elements have started to create a lot of opportunities for Israeli tech startups, one of them being Apester – established in 2014, by CEO Moti Cohen.
Apester is a digital platform that allows publishers to embed interactive units that complements their content for readers to engage with, such as polls, surveys, tests and video quizzes. Publishers such as AOL, The Daily Telegraph, and The Huffington Post use Apester to engage readers and get them to interact with their content – in this way they increase user retention and time spent on their site by 20 percent. Besides that, Apester makes stories more shareable, simultaneously gathering a reader's opinion that can be used to create relevant content in the future. The interactive units can also be used by advertisers to produce branded content opportunities that appear natively within a story and directly engage readers.
In the past, the voice of the reader was missing, which is vital piece of knowledge for a publisher. Especially, if they want to provide them with better content that can influence what they consume. Apester helps them to harness the voice of the reader by making content more engaging and relevant with a new type of engagement unit for publishers.
Publishers are spending more and more money to bring traffic to their site, but all too often after a reader clicks on the ad, the lead goes dead and there's no optimization. This is where Dynamicyield comes into play– they are basically an ad server but for onsite content. Founded by Liad Agmon and Omri Mendellevich in 2011 in Tel Aviv, Dynamicyield is a customized engagement platform, that can A/B test content at all times.
The platform implements a lightweight installation JavaScript tag to aid marketers and editors automatically optimize content, promotions and full-page template for revenue yield. Publishers don't have to ask their writers to change their headline slightly and hold thumbs for success. Instead the service will send the best headline or image to targeted readers based on quantitative data discovered from the A/B tests on the content. With Dynamicyield, clients can deliver personalized ad experiences to any reader that arrives on their website and this will increase both conversions and revenues as a result. We live in an era where personalized experiences are driving the future of the web, and Dynamicyield is pushing the limits by using SaaS to target specific audiences based on research from A/B tests.
You may not know Taboola as a company, but you've most likely encountered them several times online. Try to recall seeing those sponsored "related content" links at the bottom of article pages on major websites like The Huffington Post and BBC.com (they may be even be featured on this article right now).
Founded in 2007 by CEO Adam Singolda in Israel, Taboola began as a tool for personalized video recommendations and later transitioned into editorial and sponsored content recommendations.Taboola is an advanced native recommendation engine– paid for by brands and publishers– and is the third biggest advertising platform behind Google and AddThis (according to comScore's US rankings).
Let's say you're reading an article on The Atlantic titled "The Coddling of the American Mind", and the bottom of the page there are suggested articles for reading (See the image below). These articles are from advertisers, and are embedded with the Taboola widget that customizes advertising content according to the article. If a reader clicks on the unit, then Taboola makes money from the advertiser which is also split with The Atlantic. Then, if The Atlantic wants to promote its content on other publishers' sites, it can pay Taboola and its own articles will be recommended elsewhere on the web. Taboola is transforming the publishing industry by promoting user empowerment and content democratization.
The Israeli startup nation has been receiving worldwide attention over the past few years and these ad tech startups are contributing to its immense growth and business triumphs. With culmination of 2015, we are just at the cusp of what's yet to come.

Vancouver, BC – Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture – CEM) ("Constantine" or the "Company") is pleased to report results for the recently completed exploration program at the Palmer copper-zinc-silver-gold Project ("Palmer" or "Project") in Southeast Alaska. The work is part of a US$5 million budget for 2015. Planning is currently underway with partner Dowa Metals & Mining Co., Ltd. ("Dowa") on work plans and budgets for 2016. Expenditures to date on the project by Dowa total in excess of US$15 million.
Delineation of a 2 km trend of massive sulphide boulders associated with altered and mineralized volcanics at the Tsirku prospect, located 9 km south of the Palmer deposit area. Highlight assays of 4.99% copper, 6.32% zinc, 68 g/t silver, 1.97 g/t gold have been received for chip and grab samples of boulders that range from 0.2 to 1.5 m in size (see Table 1 for full assay details). Mineralization style at this new prospect resembles that of the Palmer deposit, and supports management's strong belief in the potential to discover other VMS deposits on the Property.
Grab samples grading 8.12% copper and 15.4% zinc have been obtained from outcrop at the Waterfall prospect, located 3 km southwest of the Palmer deposit area. The Waterfall prospect occurs adjacent to the silver-rich Cap (e.g. 23.2 m grading 134 g/t silver in historic drill hole), HG and Nunatak prospects.
These prospects collectively define a highly prospective and under explored environment close to the current mineral resource and infrastructure.
Four drill holes targeted the Lower Offset target below the Kudo fault, a structure that displaces the down-dip projection of the EM Zone. One of the four holes, CMR15-69, successfully intersected EM Zone equivalent massive pyrrhotite mineralization and intense hydrothermal alteration approximately 160 meters below the fault, including 7.2 meters grading 0.43% copper and 0.46% zinc. The other three drill holes to test the Lower Offset target area did not intersect EM Zone correlative stratigraphy. This includes CMR14-56 that was re-entered and abandoned after advancing 22 meters due to adverse drilling conditions, and holes CMR15-71 and 77 that were completed to significant depths prior to being abandoned. For a complete list of significant drill intersections see Table 2.
A large portion of the deposit remains open to expansion in the immediate South Wall and RW resource areas. Work is ongoing into understanding and interpreting the geological, geochemical, and geophysical data gained from new drill holes, with the objective of updating the exploration model for future drill planning.
Borehole and surface electromagnetic (EM) geophysical surveys identified several zones of high conductivity. Conductive plate modeling of the borehole data has generated targets of potential mineralization adjacent to the existing mineral resource and at depth below the current extent of surface drilling. Modeling of surface EM data has generated conductive plate models targets in areas along trend of the RW and South Wall resource areas. The new geophysical data will be incorporated into planning and drill hole targeting for 2016.
Constantine continues to build its advanced project team. Key personnel include Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, Senior Advisor Advanced Projects and Engineering; Henry Bogert, Senior Mining Engineer; and Rick Richins, Senior Advisor Permitting. All bring a wealth of experience in their respective fields. The company also signed a memorandum of understanding with Alaska Large Mine Permitting Team to gain early input into baseline program design and ensure long lead time data is collected in a manner consistent with the needs of State regulators.
Advanced project work has increased since reporting a near doubling of the size of the mineral resource earlier this year (see news release dated May 11, 2015*). A variety of geotechnical, engineering, and environmental baseline studies were completed during the summer exploration season. These studies focus on evaluation of the new resource, data to inform future plans and engineering design, and data to support the various permits that may be required as the project advances. The work includes geotechnical studies, rock geochemistry, flora and fauna surveys, fish surveys, surface and groundwater hydrology, water quality, and meteorology surveys.
Palmer is a resource expansion stage, high-grade volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project, with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 8.1 million tonnes grading 1.41% copper, 5.25% zinc, 0.32 g/t gold and 31.7 g/t silver*. The Project is being advanced in partnership with Dowa Metals & Mining Co., Ltd. who can earn 49% in the project by making aggregate expenditures of US$22 million over four years. The project is located in a very accessible part of coastal Southeast Alaska, with road access to the edge of the property and within 60 kilometers of the year-round deep sea port of Haines. Mineralization at Palmer occurs within the same belt of rocks that is host to the Greens Creek mine, one of the world's richest VMS deposits. There are at least 25 separate base metal and/or barite occurrences and prospects on the Palmer property, indicating the potential for discovery of multiple deposits.
Constantine is a mineral exploration company led by a proven technical team with a focus on premier North American mining environments. The company's principal asset is the Palmer copper-zinc-silver-gold Project located in Southeast Alaska that is being advanced in partnership with Dowa Metals & Mining Co., Ltd. Constantine also controls a pipeline of quality gold projects in the Timmins camp Ontario and Yukon. Management is committed to responsible mineral exploration and to working with local communities. Please visit the Company's website (www.constantinemetals.com) for more detailed company and project information.
