Hey guys, Matthew Weiss here; www.Weiss-Sound.com; www.TheProAudioFiles.com. We're going to switch gears do something a little different this time. I'm going to be talking about how to make an EDM kick drum by layering two different drums together. What I'm doing is I'm grabbing a kick drum from an XR10, and that's going to be my mid range and top end kick drum. Then I'm grabbing a trusty old 808, and that's going to be my focused low-end punch.
Let's check out the XR10. It's got a lot of texture. It's got a lot of good mid range punch. It kind of sound like it was ripped straight out of the 80's. We're going to have to bring it into the 21st century here. The low end is not spectacular, but that's okay because we've got our 808. There we go nice, beefy, low end, all we need.
Let's play both together. They don't really sound like they gel too well. Well, that's what the rest of this tutorial is going to be about. Let's listen one more time. Alright, a couple of things are showing up to me. First of all mainly, it just sounds like two different drums that are playing at the same time, so we're going to have to work that out. The low- end is conflicting the mid range of the 808. It's getting in the way, so we're going to start ironing all of these little details out.
First of all let's get rid of the low-end in the XR10. It doesn't sound particularly good. It's arguing with the 808. We don't really need it. Easy, here it is with the 808. Now the low ends are not conflicting. We at least hear the 808 clearly. Does it sound great? No, it doesn't. It needs a little more work, but we're on the right track. Alright, the paperiness of the top end of this XR10, I'm not totally into that either. I'm going to use a low shelf filter and I'm going to get rid of it. That's giving me more of that focused, lower mid and mid range punch. That's really what I want to hear here. I'm also going to do a little bit of level matching just so that it kind of comes out at the same volume. So here's before, and then after. There we go.
Alright, the next thing I'm going to do is shorten the tail on the XR10. There we go. What I did is I just went in; I chopped it; I put in a little manual fade right here, and now we get a much tighter punchier drum. Awesome. Great.
The next step is to figure out how to work the 808. The first thing that's jumping out at me is that the 808 is tuned too high. I'm hearing midrange in the 808. It doesn't sound subby and strong. It sounds like natural bass range. I am going to start tuning the 808 down until I find a spot that I like. I'm kind of digging that sort of minus 44 to minus 41, which I think is 4.1 to 4.4 semi tones dis tune. The problem is that now there's just tons of tail in the sample, so I've got to shorten up the 808. Let's see, let's try maybe about here. I like that. That sounds pretty good. Now it sounds like we've got one focused kick drum.
Now, we could leave it at this and we would already have something that sounds pretty good. I'm going to do a couple other things just to sort of tighten it up. The first is I'm going to use this in faze plugin. This in phase plugin is pretty cool. What I'm going to do is do micro timing shifts, and also a few other little neat tricks. I'm going to show you how that sort of comes together in a way to make it all work. Okay, so this is a subtle difference. What I've done is I've shifted the 808 forward in time by just a little bit more than half a millisecond, and what happens is that in a lot of subtle but important ways the drum is tightening up. Here's before; here's after.
The one other thing that I can do with this is I can flip the polarity on an individual band, so this 700 hertz if I flip it it sounds like this. Before, after. Okay, that was really subtle. I'm going to put this on repeat so that you can really hear it change. Notice how it smacks a pretty good amount harder when I flip just the 700 hertz band. That's important as well because these little extra inches of energy really do go a long way.
Alright, so now I've got one sort of cohesive gelled drum, and now I'm going to add the finishing touches to it. First I'm going to add a little bit of saturation from Decapitator here. One more time. It just adds a little bit of extra pop and punch to it. It's not really distortion in the normal sense of distortion. It's just sort of coloration and a little bit of, just a touch of overdrive.
Lastly I'm going to EQ the overall sample. I feel like it could use a little bit more of that sort of one to 2 kHz range where the in-your-faceness of a kick drum shows up, and it could use a little bit of that extra top end that I think is really popular in the EDM songs to make it sound a little bit more polished and shiny. That sounds like this. Before, after. It's just some EQ.
Alright, so now I'm going to print that onto another track. Let's also print the version that has the longer tail. Now what I'm going to do is normalize the kick drums. Why am I doing that? Well, let's say I send this out to an EDM producer. When they select their drums, they're going to go through a list of different drum sample that they have, and all of those drums are going to be as loud as they can possibly be without clipping. If my drum is not normalized they're not going to hear all of the cool characteristics of my drum. All they're going to hear is that it's a lot quieter than all of the other drums, so for that reason I'm going to get this drum much closer to peak loudness. I'm also going to turn down the output so that it does not destroy your speakers. The final will sound like this.
Alright, guys that's how I made this kick drum. The kick drum is going to be available for download at this website right here linked below, so put that into your URL and jump on over there and get your free EDM kick drum sample. Alright guys, take care.

What's your best route to CREATIVITY?!
Haha, literally the best route!
I should just get a map to Disney World.
Keeping a journal is quite a good exercise. It's a bit like a diary but you write all sorts of things in it, creative writing etc. It can be an invaluable resource if you intend to write a novel.
Depends on what you mean by creativity. If you're talking about artistic creativity, the impetus will likely come from within.
For me, the best route to creativity is to see a problem and figure out a solution--that's fast and easy.

I serve on the Board of Directors of the Northwest United Methodist Foundation. We manage about $33 million in assets for the churches of the Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest Annual Conferences. Most of these funds belong to the individual churches who have chosen to invest with the Foundation. This Foundation, by the way, was a key player in saving Crossroads United Methodist Church in Kimberly, Idaho after a bank foreclosure. (Kim Fields was another key player.) We met last Friday and Saturday at Collins Retreat Center, near Portland. It was a visioning meeting facilitated by Tom Marston, recently retired as president of the Florida United Methodist Foundation. Under Tom's leadership over 18 years, the assets managed by the Florida Foundation grew from $30 million to $227 million.


I absolutely LOVED the flowers for my wedding. Jones the Florist did a fabulous job- everything was just what I wanted. My bouquet and my bridesmaid's bouquets turned out even more beautiful than I imagined! I'd highly recommend Jones the Florist for any wedding need!
Our designer Donna Julien was amazing. She took the colors we wanted and made our wedding a dream. She was able to completely understand what theme we had in mind and made it even better. The flowers were fresh, beautiful and smelled wonderful. Every attention to detail was made.
The only flowers we got from a florist was the bridal bouquet and we were surprised at how casual florists became when we said that was all we wanted. But with Jones the Florist, they were enthusiastic (even with the small order), had us come in, spoke with us about the feel of the wedding, what flowers we likes and how we wanted the bouquet to look. It turned out absolutely beautiful and we appreciate how easy they were to work with.

Purrfect Mat Reviews - Too Good to be True?
Purrfect Mat is a mat that will catch stray cat litter that your cat has on their paws or that they toss out of their litter box as they do their business. If you place this mat directly in front of where your cat enters and exits the litter box, its multitude of small honeycomb holes will allow pieces of litter to fall through and be collected. When your cat walks out, the 3-D texture of the mat will also gently remove stray pieces of litter from their paws.
The cost of Purrfect Mat is $19.99 and the shipping is FREE!
This price was obtained from the As Seen on TV commercial page ( www.purrfectmat.com ) which was taken offline due to Purrfect Mat being discontinued. Purrfect Mat may still be found for sale on Amazon or Ebay.
To start using this mat, place it in front of your cat's litter pan with the front edge tucked under the edge of the pan. Make sure the navy blue side of the mat with the honeycomb holes is facing upward, or else pieces of litter won't end up being collected properly.
Once the Purrfect Mat has been placed, your cat can continue to use their litter pan as they normally do. If they kick litter out of the pan as they dig, you'll notice that it falls through the mat's honeycomb holes in order to collect in the pocket inside. You'll also notice that the same thing happens to any stray pieces of litter on their paws as they emerge from and exit the pan. If any pieces of litter are ever left behind on the mat's top, you can simply nudge them through the honeycomb holes with your fingers.
Each day, or at least every two days, you'll need to dump the litter that has collected within the inner pocket of your mat into the trash. As you carry it there, just make sure the honeycomb holes aren't facing downward, so you can avoid any pieces of litter falling out onto the floor and thereby defeating the purpose of the mat.
Whenever you notice that your mat's getting dirty, or about once a week otherwise, you should rinse it off with water. Due to its waterproof base, no water will drip out the bottom as you clean it or carry it back to its usual location.
Each of these mats has a dark gray top, but each of them also has a beige bottom, so you'll be able to quickly determine whether the correct side (the top) is facing up.
The Purrfect Mat measures 24 by 22 inches, which makes it a suitable size to be used with the majority of litter pans. Even a large male cat will likely find it comfortable to stand and walk on.
This mat has a non-slip base, so if your cat scratches it or trips as they exit their litter box, it'll stay in the same place on the floor. The base is also waterproof, so if the cat ever goes to the bathroom on the mat, the waste will stay within its inner pocket without seeping through the bottom onto your floor.
Besides catching stray litter, this mat can also double as a cat scratcher and a doormat. If you turn it over to the beige side when your cat's not using their litter box, your cat will be able to use it to sharpen their claws. In the event that you're not using it near the little box at all, even temporarily, you may want to place it near a door so people can use it to wipe their feet. For this, make sure the beige side is facing upward, too.
If you have one or more cats, you may find that you're constantly vacuuming or sweeping up stray bits and clumps of litter around your litter boxes, in order to keep your floors clean. Fortunately, if you put down a Purrfect Mat in front of each litter box in your home, you'll no longer have to do this. Aside from emptying the mat regularly, the only thing you may have to do with your hands is occasionally push a few bits of litter through the holes on the top of each mat.
Regardless of the age, size, gender or physical fitness level of your cat, this mat will always work with a high level of effectiveness, as long as it's clean. It's actually ideal if you have a kitten who's not quite litter-trained or a senior or disabled cat who might have accidents since its waterproof base will allow it to catch liquid waste. It doesn't matter what brand or type of litter you use, either, as this mat will catch all kinds in the same way.
Be sure to rinse your Purrfect Mat off on a regular basis, even if it doesn't look filthy. If you rinse it infrequently, pieces of litter may get stuck in the small honeycomb holes, which'll block them off and prevent them from catching new pieces of litter.
You might be tempted to cut this mat down to a smaller size if you have a small litter pan or small cat, but you shouldn't do this. If you do, this'll ruin the seal of the edges of the pocket inside, and it'll no longer collect up litter as it would otherwise.
Do not buy Purrfect Mat online before searching Amazon.
I ordered this mat several months ago and still have not received it. When I bring up my order they tell me the site is not longer up. Please let me know what happened with this order,.


I went with truecar.com price and no hassle, Customer service is not the best but Finance guy David Gokhshtein is the best, he will work wit you till get the numbers right. I would recommend that you go him and he understand every situations.
I had an issue with some paperwork and they were very professional and steadfast at handling the matter. The bay ridge team made my buyers experience a pleasant one.
We would have rated customer service higher except it took us 3 hours (with an appointment) to pay for and pick up our car. Seems you could use more support personnel.


Dental assistants assist dentists during the examination and treatment of patients and perform clerical functions. Dental assistants work primarily in dentists' offices, or they may be employed by government and educational institutions.
Many dental assistants learn their skills on the job, although an increasing number are trained in dental-assisting programs; most programs take 1 year or less to complete.
Fabricate temporary crowns and restorations.
In most provinces in Canada, there are two levels of dental assistants: Level I – chair-side assistant and Level II – intra-oral assistant. Progression from Level I to Level II is possible with appropriate training and licensure.
In the United States, most states do not require formal education or training to become entry-level dental assistants. But there is the Commission on Dental Accreditation which approved 281 dental-assisting training programs in 2009 for those who wish to pursue further education related to being a dental assistant.
Licensure of dental assistants greatly vary among states. The Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) credential, administered by the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB), is recognized or required in more than 37 States.

VIII. Madách International Theatre Meeting
National Theatre Budapest, 8 May – 20 April, 2022
21 september, 3:00 pm – Great Hall of Uránia National Film Theatre
MARI TÖRŐCSIK IN MOSCOW - documentary
Director: Gyula Maár
Before the screening, Anatoly Vassiliev will talk about his theatre and his decades-long relationship with Mari Törőcsik.
The working relationship over the past two decades and the close friendship between the legendary Russian director Anatoly Vassiliev and Mari Törőcsik are well known among Hungarian theatre lovers.
Photo: Zsolt Eöri Szabó
This friendship, which has been a source of mutual inspiration and has resulted in several memorable performances, began at the Art Theatre of the time in 1994 with a special production of Uncle's Dream, based on Dostoevsky's novel. Although the production itself did not have a long run, the rehearsal process and the unique atmosphere of the performance remain a defining theatrical experience for both cast and audience. As a result of this, the influential master of the Russian theatre invited Mari Törőcsik to his theatre in Moscow, the "School of Dramatic Art" in 1995. Mari Törőcsik later recalled the three months she spent there as "one of the most beautiful theatrical adventures of her life", which had a great influence on her future career. The period spent with Vassiliev's company and the in-depth work that took place there was captured in this documentary by Gyula Maár, providing a glimpse into the operation of a unique theatre from behind the scenes.

VII. Madách International Theater Meeting held
between the April 8th and 17th of May, 2020.
PRESS RELEASE TODAY 13:00 PM


Ten West Virginia witnesses near Marmet working a coal plant evening shift reported watching three triangle-shaped UFOs the size of football fields silently moving under 500 feet, according to testimony in Case 60631 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The incident occurred at 10 p.m. on October 12, 2014, at the coal plant along Winifrede Hollow Road.
The group of workers looked up to see the first object.
The group watched as two more objects appeared.
Then a smaller fourth object was seen.
The witnesses were amazed that there was no sound.
"What was strange about the objects was that there was no noises whatsoever – to be as close as they were, and their sizes. All of this took place in 15 minutes." . . .

Past Reviews
Regional Reviews: Connecticut & the Berkshires
Long Wharf Theatre
Review by Fred Sokol | Season Schedule
Photo by T Charles Erickson
Director Jess McLeod and a contingent of splendid actors bring a sparkling and quite clever version of Pride and Prejudice to Long Wharf Theatre through December 22nd. Kate Hamill adapted her script from Jane Austen's novel. As she is also an actor, it is not surprising that she furnishes a fine script that encourages actors to embellish. The plotting (if memory serves fairly well) does not stray all that much from the work of fiction published in 1813. This distinctive production is spectacularly effective: McLeod breaks down gender barriers as she facilitates with performers of various races.
Gerardo Díaz Sánchez's pink-hued set design brings us to the interior of an estate in rural England during the first part of the nineteenth century. Even the staircase is eye-catching. Mrs. Bennet (Maria Elena Ramirez) hopes to find suitors for her daughters. Mr. Bennet (Rami Margron) especially favors daughter Lizzy (Aneisa J. Hicks), vigorous, bold and, as Hicks embodies her, a young woman primed to enjoy life. Her older sister Jane (Octavia Chavez-Richmond) is a good friend to Lizzy. Jane is taken with the visiting Mr. Bingley (Luis Moreno). Bingley, thanks to costumer Izumi Inaba, wears a wildly hilarious outfit. He is pals with Mr. Darcy (Biko Eisen-Martin), who is formal and stiff much of the time. As the play evolves, it becomes clear that he has eyes for Lizzy. Luis Moreno, who has three roles, is a four-star hoot as Mary Bennet. Dawn Elizabeth Clements plays Lydia Bennet, who does not seem the wisest of sisters, yet she eventually couples with a man named Wickham (Brian Lee Huynh). Six of the eight actors have multiple roles and director McLeod smartly coaxes the performers to push pace throughout.
The opening of the show is replete with original music composed by Megumi Katayama, which leads to a quick sequence of something reminiscent of square dancing, making the production immediately celebratory. James Beaudry's choreography, here and elsewhere, is nifty. As one vignette leads to another, there's oftentimes a Latin percussive beat to be heard.
Hamill's Pride and Prejudice, as interpreted by McLeod and enlivened through zestful performances, is as amusing as it is unique. On the page, Austen's novel might be quietly comedic, but the current rendering, Long Wharf's second straight outright winner, is audacious and laugh-out-loud fare. Actors are often coming and going—fortunately, the one rear door isn't wooden; otherwise, the commotion of sound might obliterate dialogue. Call the production a thoughtful and well-executed farce. Nothing is random, nothing is stagnant.
Throughout its first hour, as characters are introduced, storyline is decidedly secondary. McLeod casts against type and her choices, however unlikely, are terrific. You need to see actress Rami Margron as Mr. Bennet, and Luis Moreno, a hefty man, as Mary Bennet. During the early going, it's sufficient and fulfilling to watch and marvel. At some point, there is a desire to give attention to the plot.
Those expecting a strict remake of Jane Austen's book will be disappointed. The Long Wharf Production is snappy and fairly short, the running time, including intermission, a tad more than two hours. This Pride and Prejudice is a controlled riot of live entertainment, accomplished with attention, discipline and control. The production is a team success whereby elements of production and specific direction for actors serve to open the stage. Even a skeptic or one who is not particularly a theater lover will be taken in.
Pride and Prejudice runs through December 22, 2019, at Long Wharf Theatre, 222 Sargent Drive, New Haven CT. For tickets and information, call 203-787-4282 or visit longwharf.org.

Credit Crisis Impact On Greece
In the last ten years, Greece has used heavy borrowings from the capital markets (international) so as to fund its deficits (current accounts and government budget). This is indeed what analysts believe was the onset of the credit crisis that has had a number of negative impacts on the Greece economy in terms of lowered investor confidence which has gone ahead to aggravate the already bad situation. In this text, I concern myself with the credit crisis in Greece. Most importantly, I shall look at what caused the debt crisis as well as what its consequences were. I shall also discuss the various reasons why Greece got affected by the international credit crisis.
A background of the crisis: The foundation of the crisis
According to Wonders (2010), the most significant drop in investor confidence was in October 2009 when there was a government (newly elected) decision to revise the budget deficit to 12.7% of the Gross domestic Product up from 6.7% of the GDP. This was later revised upwards by the statistical agency of the EU, Eurostat, whose estimates projected the actual deficit to stand at 13.6% of the Gross Domestic Product. This combined with a constellation of other factors made investors overly jittery considering that the ability of Greece to repay its Debts was largely compromised by the happenings.
For the year 2010, the debt obligations (maturing) were estimated to stand at 72 billion US dollars. It was not until the 23rd of April that the International Monetary Fund as well as a number of European Countries were formally requested by the Greek government to assist it financially so as to enable it meet its obligations as they matured. However, what many analysts have over time sought to understand is the actual onset of the Greek financial crisis. Hopefully, the building blocks of the whole crisis can be accessed from a overview of previous events. According to Baldwin, Gros & Laeven (2010), "the effects of the credit crisis in Greece have been felt only in the recent months, but the seeds of the credit crisis have been planted slowly by slowly over the last one decade."
Greece joins the euro
In the year 2001, Greece joined the euro and in that regard, became the 12th member to do so. This move which was branded a rare achievement by the government was as a result of the country's concerted efforts to rein in on increasing interest rates as well as inflation figures. Though, this was seen by the Greek government as a rare achievement and a move that was projected to enhance prosperity as well as stability of the country, analysts warned that if the country failed to put its house in order, the move could eventually impact negatively not only on the Euro but also on the country.
It was not until later that the effects of joining the euro were demonstrated by the erosion of the purchasing power of the Greek populace. Indeed, Wim Duisenberg who was then the European Central Bank president was quoted as saying that for Greece to improve the economy, it had to keep working hard. He also added that inclusion of European nations which were weaker could affect the euro in the long term. It was not until later, the year 2004, when Greece admitted that it had understated its budget deficit so as to join the Euro. As per the provisions of Eurozone States, the required deficit of states must be below 3% of the GDP. However, in the case of Greece, data (revised) showed that the set limit had been exceeded by the country from as early as 1999.
The austerity budget
In the 29th of March 2005, measures aimed at bringing down the deficit of Greece as well as enhance the public finances were undertaken by the imposition of an austerity budget. This was essentially after the effects of high costs Greece encountered after hosting the Olympics in 2004. The measures in this case included a 1% increase in the VAT as well as tobacco and alcohol tax hikes.
In some quarters, this was seen as a further assault on the public which has seen its purchasing power noose dice after the introduction of the euro four years earlier. Despite its effects of eroding the purchasing power of the populace even further, the move to hike taxes was supported by the government as the only measure which could be taken so as to avert a situation where the government would have to enforce or implement health sector cuts as well as reduce spending in other critical areas like education.
False signs of rebound
In 2006 (spring), there were signs that the Greece economy was firmly back on the recovery path. This was one year after the implementation of the austerity budget and to underscore the recovery signs, the first three months of 2006 were informed by a 4.1% increase in Gross Domestic Product. Further, the country was able to increase its revenues by up to 6.9%. This was also the period that witnessed the 31.5 % increase in the value of exports. In other words, Greece seemed to be on a definite path to economic prosperity and even the European commission was of the opinion that Greek no longer needed close monitoring.
According to Wonders (2010), the economic revival in this case was largely believed o be spurred by Tourism which made the greatest contribution to the GDP of the country standing at 19%. However, it is important to note that the path to economic recovery was made bumpier by a government that was labeled pro-business. This was due to the government's inability to increase wages, loosen finances as well as avert the imminent closure of companies in the public sector. Further, the economic recovery streak was further frustrated by the tendency of Greece to favor bureaucracy.
It is also important to note that during this period, the country was unable to rein in on corruption as well as the tax system which was largely considered to be unwieldy. Matters were also complicated by the low direct foreign investment which did not mirror the trends of the other EU member countries. The economic growth in this case also failed to enhance employment with unemployment levels estimated to be close to 10% at the time. All these problems are perhaps what motivated Chorafas (2010) statement that "Greece seemed to be on the path to economic recovery on the surface but deep under, unresolved issues abounded….."
Snap elections
On the 4th of October 2009, the Phanhellenic Socialist Movement came into power after the calls for a snap election by the New Democracy. The campaigns were informed by insistence of the need to ensure that the looming financial crisis was settled and taken care of. This was on the onset of increasing national debt which at the time was compounded by a contacting economy. On assuming power as the new PM, George Papandreou who was emphatic that the new stimulus package which was underway would act as a jab in he arm for the economy. However, as it was soon to emerge, the Papandreou administration rode to power on the back of "politics of hope," something that inhibited visible results going forward.
Causes and progression of the credit crisis
According to Baldwin, Gros & Laeven (2010), real fears of the debt crisis the country was staring on in the face were confirmed later on in 2009 when Papandreou admitted that the economy of Greece was indeed deep in the woods. In this section, I will first concern myself with the progression of the crisis and then look in detail at all the possible causes of the credit crisis. The progression part will concern itself with the initial debt fears, the downgrading of the credit rating by Fitch, the unveiling of radical reforms and lastly, the negative effects of the unrest. The possible causes section shall concern itself with two things, that is, the domestic factors and secondly, the international factors which contributed towards Greece's credit crisis.
The progression
It was in November 30th 2009 that the Greek prime minister admitted that the economy of the country was in "intensive care." These comments were further confirmed by the apparent discomfort the debt of the country was causing the European finance ministers.
Initial debt fears
As already noted above, it was in the last quarter of 2009 that the European finance ministers expressed their reservations about Greece's debt size. Indeed, it was now apparent that the country could not rein on its loans as they fell due after periods of ever increasing public debt as well as the effects of the Olympic Games which ended to be too costly for the country.Indeed, according to Saleh (2010) it is during the last quarter of 2009 that international investors started pondering on the then unlikely scenario of a member of the EU being unable to settle its debts. The deficit in the public sector was in the region of 12.5% of the Gross domestic Product and to underline the seriousness of the matter, this exceeded the recommended EU amount by up to four times.
It is at this time that the gravity of the issue started to finally sing amongst the populace as the Socialist government accepted it was indeed backed into a corner with a public-sector deficit recorded during its rein (i.e. 12.5%) being two times what its predecessor had encountered. Indeed, all the indications showed that the Greece national debt was set to rise going forward. This was a depressing scenario considering that at that moment, Greece had the highest national debt amongst all the European Union member countries.
Credit rating downgraded by Fitch
On the 8th of December, Fitch downgraded the credit rating of Greece to BBB+, down from A- despite earlier indications that credit rating firms would not be quick to downgrade Greece. Less than a month earlier, Standard and Poor's which; a credit rating agency had indicated that it was still too early to downgrade the credit rating of the country from A-. The downgrade from Fitch, though generally expected came as a shocker to many given the fact that it was the first time in ten years that the country failed to display an A- credit rating. The immediate effect of this was an increase in the borrowing costs for the country.
The reason for the downgrade was simple and clear and it relayed fears that the country was headed to turbulent economic as well as financial times. Fitch gave the reason for the downgrade as decreasing fiscal institutions credibility further worsened by existing doubts over the country's ability to undertake economic recovery that was sustainable. Once the move by the rating agency became apparent, effects were felt immediately at the Stock Market which recorded a 6% decrease in turnover rates. Most market analysts braced for a downgrade by the other credit rating agencies including but not in any way limited Standard and Poor's as well as Moody's.
Radical reforms unveiled
With the national debt of the country seemingly getting out of hand, the Papandreou administration announced a move to stem the deficit through embracing radical reforms. Analysts believed that the move to adopt radical reforms was motivated by amongst other factors that ECB pressure as well as the mounting pressure on the government to get its house in order after the Fitch downgrades as well as concerns over the legitimacy of membership of Greece in the Eurozone.
The main highlights of the radical reforms were the ambitious plan to bring down the deficit by at least 4%. The government planned to trim the public sector which was relatively bloated, reduce consumption costs as well as operating expenses in a move to make savings.It is at this time that the international credibility of Greece was significantly threatened and hence the radical reforms was a move by EU to redeem itself as well as show its EU partners that it was doing everything in its order to stem the crisis.
Unrest complicates matters
By the end of 2009, the Greek debt crisis was worsening and according to Chorafas (2010), the measures by the Papandreou administration to embrace cutbacks were what motivated thousands of workers to resort to civil unrest. The situation was worsened more by the decision by Standard and Poor's to follow in the footsteps of Fitch and downgraded the credit rating of Greece from an A- to a BBB+. According to communist organizations, the measures which were being advanced to rein over debt were retrogressive and would end hurting the common man.
However, the government still maintained that the failure to adopt the measures would eventually "sink" the country. With Greece making a distinction as the most indebted member of the Eurozone, there was an immediate need to rein on the crisis which was costing thousands of people their jobs with the stocks continuing to reel under the pressure of the crisis. The problem in this case was the implementation of the proposed measures.
While various credit rating agencies as well as fellow EU members were advising Greece to follow in the footsteps of Ireland so as to rein in on the crisis, the ability on the Communist Organizations to mobilize people against such extreme measures came into the equation and further complicated matters. Ireland, which was facing problems similar those Greece was facing had to slice pay in the public sector as well as welfare benefits to rein in on its huge public sector deficit.
The possible causes of the credit crisis
According to Chorafas (2010), the credit crisis in Greece was informed not by a single factor but by a constellation of international as well as domestic factors. On the domestic fr4omt, high spending but the government is one of the chief culprits. Others include but are not in any way limited to corruption, tax evasion, structural rigidities etc. On the international front, some of the major culprits have been the euro adoption as well as EU regulations which have been branded lax especially when it comes to the Greece debt accumulation.
Domestic factors
Insufficient government revenues and high government spending
According to Saleh (2010), for the last half a decade, the revenues of Greece have grown by 31% while its expenditure has grown by close to 87%. This is indeed what according to analysts informed the deficits in the budget which was way above the threshold of EU's 3%. The inconsistence in expenditure and revenues growth was informed by a number of things including tax evasion instances, a regime of public administration that was largely inefficient, pensions that were relatively costly and lastly the lack of concern at the political class especially when it came to fiscal discipline maintenance.
Though we have had laudable efforts by successive Greece governments to rein on tax evasion as well as consolidate public administration, analysts are of the opinion that the public sector continues to be unproductive essentially because of lack of skill amongst office holders as well as the instances of overstaffing. According to Chorafas (2010), with tax evasion being one of the main reasons why Greece did not enhance its earning capacity in line with its spending capacity, successive governments have largely been ignorant of this fact. Hence one of the main contributors to the credit crisis in Greece was the inability of the country to enhance its earning capacity through effective tax collection mechanisms that would minimize evasion.
Structural policies and a noose diving international competitiveness
Another key issue which can be blamed on the credit crisis in Greece is the noose diving international competitiveness of the country. This is as a result of low productivity coupled with wages that are relatively high. According to Saleh (2010), since the adoption of the Euro by the country back in 2001, Greece has sustained 5% wage increase rates per annum. This is Eurozone's wages increase rate doubled. Looking at its trade with its major partners, Greek exports registered a modest 3.8% increase which is not in consistence with what member countries of EU recorded.
It is important to note that significant measures were not taken so as to ensure that the international competitiveness of the country was enhanced which could have gone ahead to decease the account deficit of the country. Some of the obvious measures which Baldwin, Gros & Laeven (2010) believe were not taken earlier enough include the enhancement of productivity as well as savings and significant slices in wages. Further, successive Greek governments have not been able to take measures aimed at bettering the tourism industry which according to Wonders (2010) is one of the most significant sectors to the Greece economy.
International factors
Enhanced access to capital at low interest rates
As earlier observed in the earlier sections of this paper, most analysts believe that the foundations of the credit crisis were laid about a decade ago starting with the adoption of the euro as the national currency of the country. This is indeed what according to Saleh (2010) informed debt buildup. It is important to note that over time, investors have been receptive towards member countries of the EU mainly as a result of the anchorage of the euro currency by countries like France and Germany which are considered economic heavyweights.
Further, euro member countries have the European Central Bank manage their monetary policy conservatively and in that regard, investors as well as lenders increasingly view these countries with a lot of confidence. By Greece joining the euro member countries, it essentially meat that it could borrow at interest rates which were in one way or the other lower and hence it was much easier for the country to ensure that its state budget as well as debts were serviced.
According to Mercier & Papadia (2011), as a euro member, Greece could access artificially cheap credit and this it did with reckless abandon until it ended up accumulating record high debt levels. economic observers are of the opinion that if Greece's wanton borrowing had been curtailed early enough, the urgency of reform as well as austerity could have been realized much earlier with less dire consequences that what Greece had had to undergo under the credit crisis.
Issues revolving around the enforcement of EU rules
According to Lynn (2010) another contributing factor to the high level of debt in Greece is the observed laxity when it came to the Growth and Stability Pact enforcement. The Stability and Growth pact was adopted by the EU members sometimes in 1997 and once of its key highlights was the need for strengthening surveillance as well as enforcement of a number of rules in public finance as outlined in the EMU's convergence criteria. The rules dictate that when it comes to the debt and GDP, the former should not exceed or go beyond 60% of the latter. On the other hand, when it comes to GDP and budget deficit, the rules stipulate that the later should not exceed or go beyond 3% of the later.
Failure to comply with European Commission and the Council of the European Union directions as well as well as stipulations as to the corrective actions to be taken to rein in on deficits could result in sanctions mostly inform of fines up to a given GDP percentage. In is important to note that since the year 2003, the EU has done very little to enforce these provisions instead relying on member states reprimands other that the imposition of actual fines against those who have violated its provisions. This lack of actual sanctions could have been the reason why high debt levels were maintained by countries like Greece.
The Greek debt crisis and socialism: the dissenting views
In IMF (2009) opinion, EU member states have had to be bold enough to institute working measures aimed at containing ye economic crisis. However, what is certain is that the taxpayers will end up footing the bill of the rescue packages that were undertaken to save the member countries from imminent collapse. The issues in Greece forced the EU finance ministers to certify the need to ensure that the budget of Greece remained under constant scrutiny. It is also important to note that no other country (EU member) has had to be subjected to scrutiny of such magnitude before.
Those who object to the constant scrutiny by the European Central Bank and the Brussels Commission are of the opinion that that is akin to delegating the functions of elected officials to non-elected officials. Indeed, this is the argument that has been pursued by the Communist Organizations. Those who argued against the austerity measures proposed by EU member states to deal with the crisis were of the opinion that the austerity measures were to be adopted at a cost to the ordinary citizenry of Greece.
Issues of contention in this regard included but are not in any way limited to spending cuts as well as enhanced regressive VAT. Concerns are also being raised as to the effects the measures shall have on the population's living standards. This is especially a scary prospect given that the credit crisis has already lowered the living standards of a majority of those who live in Greece. In addition to the lowered living standards, analysts argue that increases in tax are ill timed. According to Chorafas (2010), whet the Greece government should have done was to adopt measures tailored to reduce instances of tax evasion. Thus the premise according to this argument is that Greece is using the wrong measures to treat existing issues and stimulate the economy.
The consequences of the debt crisis
As the crisis progressed, the Greek government had to offer for sale bonds so as to so as to come up with the funds that were much needed. The government also had to reel under a number of policy implications which were informed by the credit crisis. Analysts fear that Greece's crisis could end up pouring to over to Spain, Italy as well as Ireland and Portugal. Though the implications of the debt crisis are dire and far reaching, the crisis has gone a long way to raise issues as well as queries in regard to Eurozone imbalances.
Analysts are increasingly questioning the sustainability of Eurozone's monetary policy which is largely common whereas policies at the national level remain independent and hence in one way or the other independent. It is also important to note that the credit crisis in Greece has had an impact far beyond its borders. For instance, the euro could be weakened further and this could go a long way towards informing a widening trade deficit in the United States. It is also imperative to note that the economy of the United States could be affected by EU's instability. This is essentially because of the EU/US strong economic ties.
When it comes to the effects on the economy of Greece, the effects of the same spilled over to worsen the unemployment situation. As a result of this, Greece has experienced relatively sharp economic downturns within a relatively short period of time. The government has also had to do with insufficient revenue streams at a time when the deficit gap is said to be widening. As a result of the Greece government defaulting on its debt, the country shall have to submit a majority of its economic decisions to the European Central Bank and the Brussels Commission for approval.
In regard to Stocks, the downgrading of the credit worthiness of Greece informed the plummeting of stocks as investors adjusted their positions to avoid losses. Indeed, according to Baldwin, Gros & Laeven (2010), the effect of the move first by Fitch and secondly by the global credit rating agency Standard and Poor's to downgrade the country from an A- to a BBB+ was translated by investors to mean that the country was venturing deeper into the woods and in that regard, they had to rush for liquidity and ensure that hedged against risks.
When it comes to commodities, the credit crisis informed one of the worst inflationary periods Greece has experienced in recent times. The skyrocketing prices were informed by a number of things including but not limited to political instability as well as unrest which was brought about by the snap elections and the subsequent civil unrest as a result of the proposed measures to enhance the country's prosperity.
As it has been noted in the earlier sections of this text, the credit crisis in Greece has brought about a relatively high unemployment level which stands at just under 10% percent. This is indeed the countries lowest unemployment level in the last one decade and analysts are of the opinion that some of the proposed austerity measures may go a long way towards worsening an already worse scenario.
In conclusion, analysts have over time argued that there is an existing need for countries in Southern Europe to enhance their savings as they seek to bring down their debt levels. What this essentially means is that countries like Greece should ensure that their run current account surpluses. It is also important to note that how Eurozone handles the imbalances shall inform much of the discussions on the integration of the EU member countries going forward.

Steps to building a secure network?
The first step to build a secure network is to capture a complete picture of the IT environment including all internal and external assets and vendor relationships. Every server, database, network device, application, and website (both in-house and cloud-based) needs to be included in the inventory. The exclusion of just one device would create a risk and potential weakness for the entire network.
Establish a baseline for all assets including configuration details that can be tracked at regular intervals to determine trends and identify abnormalities that need to be addressed.
Validate the system by testing the functioning at various points to determine if it matches the security standards and expectation for the network operations. The testing also provides metrics that can be used for decision making (now and in the future) on IT operational expenditures based upon risk assessment and tolerance.
Launch and track the system to match the expectations of management with confidence that you are doing everything that is reasonable to address currently known cyber threats. There are always new threats developing that monitoring is designed to identify at the earliest moment possible. No level of monitoring can prevent new threats from attacking a network, but recognizing the intrusion allows early intervention to limit potential damage.
Proactive steps such as applying antivirus applications, software patches and updates on a timely basis remain a valuable activity in maximizing uptime for a network and limiting any business interruption. Monitoring devices 24/7 looking for abnormalities can also contribute to the smooth operations and the identifying of issues before they become major problems.
Addressing cyber security at all levels of an organization helps identify potential risks and allows the introduction of the proper level of IT management that matches the corporate goals.
Identifying, planning and executing a comprehensive cybersecurity approach to IT network, equipment and systems will help to mitigate risks and provide insight into future irregularities and attacks. Although there is no way to completely eliminate cyber attacks, properly applied IT planning and monitoring can limit the risk, improve reliability, and allow preventative activities to protect the company and customers while delivering a secure and reliable service.

Episode Seven – William Kovacic
In this episode, Hugh sits down with former Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Prof. William E. Kovacic.
Bill is the Global Competition Professor of Law and Policy and Director of the Competition Law Center at The George Washington University Law School. Currently he travels back and forth each week to Kings College London, where he is its Dickson Poon School of Law visiting professor of Global Competition Law.
Hugh and Bill discuss a wide variety of topics starting with his idyllic childhood in upstate New York and his early cultural and familial influences. Not surprising that Bill was drawn to the law, and competition law in particular, with a family of lawyers and a very unusual year off from law school working in the U.S. Senate on its subcommittee on antitrust. You'll learn what has kept him interested in it all these years.
Bill had three separate periods working in the FTC, including one where he served as its Chair. These have given him valuable insights into the workings of the FTC. For instance, what role does the FTC administrative structure, including the fact that there are five commissioners, play? What is the current state of the FTC and its leadership? Is the pay-for-delay FTC approach of filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court better than the traditional administrative law model of ALJ opinion, full Commission opinion, appeal to federal court of appeals of party's choice?
Hugh asks Bill whether the long-standing existence in the U.S. of both the DOJ's Antitrust Division and the FTC makes sense today. Bill's answer might surprise you.
Next, Bill and Hugh look to the future and around the globe to discuss current effects on competition law including private actions, the gig economy, monopolistic tech giants, developing countries, the European Commission and China.
Finally, Bill states that competition law should shift away from its consumer-based framework and be reshaped to give more emphasis on real workers affected by price-cutting market competition. How likely is this to happen? They discuss the role that Congress and the judges play in shaping competition law and what this means for the future, including his suggested change in the law.

Sebastian Bach brings Skid Row to Orlando
By Trevor Fraser
Jun 04, 2019 | 5:13 PM
Sebastian Bach heads to Hard Rock Live on Oct. 30, performing the entirety of the 1989 album "Skid Row." (Peter Kramer / AP)
From the era of powerhouse, long-haired blondes that tore up the airwaves, one of the most memorable names is Sebastian Bach, and not only because the singer's nom de guerre piggybacks on a classical titan. The former frontman for hair metal icons Skid Row asserts the sort of control over his belting that landed him the title role in a 2000 Broadway production of "Jekyll & Hyde."
The Canadian vocalist (as opposed to the Baroque composer) is hitting the road with a tour celebrating Skid Row's 1989 eponymous debut album. Of course, the band he split from still tours themselves under the old name. So Bach, 51, will have to handle the adolescent anthems of "18 and a Life" and "Youth Gone Wild" without Dave "The Snake" Sabo on guitar or Rachel Bolan on bass. But 30 years later, fans should be used to change.
Sebastian Bach's 30th Anniversary Tour will hit Hard Rock Live in Universal CityWalk on Oct. 30. Tickets, $35-$45, go on sale Friday, June 7. Details: hardrock.com.

Cremo Shave Cream Review: A Thicker Option For a Very Close Shave
We're always on the lookout for new stuff, especially shaving creams – after all, we usually end up being shaving soap guys, but finding a new good shave cream isn't bad either, right? Well, one of the things I usually hate about shave creams is, oddly enough, all the air; that's usually what shaving creams are, right? I feel like I'm buying an 8oz tub of shaving cream just to get 6oz of foam.
With that in mind, I was shocked to find out that Cremo Shave Cream doesn't have any air at all – it's just a really thick cream that I can apply to my face, ostensibly giving me a more concentrated, nutritive feel to my shaving experience. Naturally, I was intrigued, so I tried it out. What did I think? Read on to find out!
A little Info on the Cremo Company:
The boys at Cremo Company have a pretty interesting story behind the creation of their company. Mike and Kyle had a reason to start Cremo and it wasn't just for the sake of making some cabbage. They say that they came up with Cremo Shave Cream after having a hard time finding other products on the market that worked as well as the marketing gimmicks made you believe it was.
Sure, the commercials and print ads made you believe that these other shaving creams would get your face baby butt smooth, but the ineffective ingredients left them wanting more. After seeing success with Cremo Shave Cream these two guys expanded upon their product base and become the dynamic duo they are today.
So, How Did It All Get Started?
The Cremo Company is the brain child of white board inventor and super smart Stanford Engineer, Mike Boone. You see, Mike was fed up with a less than awesome shaving experience and he was pretty tired of the cuts, nicks and rough skin that came with the use of mediocre shaving creams.
One day, old Mike (well he's not old per se, but you get what we are saying) decided to do a bit of research into the actual science behind shaving cream. Yeah, he's that guy… but it totally worked for him and we are impressed with his take charge attitude. Mike came to the conclusion that there was a lot more money put into marketing the products out there than there was into the actual shaving creams/gels.
He was able to see that one of the big issues with these shave creams is that the foams are actually formulated as aerated liquids. This essentially means that air (gas) bubbles get trapped in there and kind of eliminated the proper oils from being included in the creams. Rather than oil helping you to glide that razor over your skin, you actually have airy foam that results in a jenky shave and potential injury to your face.
The next major thing that Mike noticed was that for the most part, high end shave creams also lacked in the quality that he was looking for. He noted that the ingredients were pretty common with a heavy emphasis on the glycerin and oils. To follow that up, he also did a bit of digging into some of those so called "exotic" ingredients. Sure, they were in the creams like the package said, but the amount in the actual product was pretty limited and doesn't really add to the function of the shave cream.
The only solution that Mike could come to was to create his own company and to produce the kind of products that he wanted with the quality materials he expected. Thus Cremo Company was born and birthed its first little baby product, Cremo Shave Cream.
He brought on his buddy Kyle in 2007 and things have pretty much taken off at warp speed since then. Cremo offers products for both men and women now. They didn't stop at shave cream either, in fact they have face washes and moisturizers for both guys and gals.
Pros and Cons:
Right away, I was a bit suspicious – the product's tagline is "Try it Once to believe it. Enjoy it for life. It's really that good," which sounds like the kind of thing I'd say if I just wanted to sell anything to anybody. Also, a little pushy, don't you think? I mean, I'll decide for myself if it's that good, thank you very much. However, as soon as I put it on, I realized that their boldness was warranted – it really is that good.
One really nice thing is that, because it's so concentrated, you really only use a little bit at a time. Isn't that sweet? A product that wants you to hang on to it without having to buy more. I can't really fault them for that. About a quarter-sized dollop was enough for my freshly stubbled face, after I added enough water to spread out the mixture to my liking. It didn't take much, but I found the cream itself took really well to the water itself, leading up to a nice, rich lather.
When it came time to actually shaving my face, I also found that the shave was actually pretty dang smooth. I could feel the astringent properties of the Cremo shave cream working my face, standing up my stubble and closing pores to make my skin feel smoother. Actually running my razor past it was a breeze, and I could usually get the vast majority of the material off in one fell swoop.
The only think I can imagine could be a problem is the actual washing off of the cream; for me at least, I had a heck of a time actually getting this stuff off my face. It just sticks to you that well; you'll find yourself using a lot of water, and even then you'll find little sticky bits on your face and neck up to a few hours later. It's no huge deal, but it's just annoying enough to mention. It doesn't take away from the sheer heaven that is the actual shave, though, so be sure to keep that in mind.
Another thing I really like about Cremo, though, is the price – because it's all so concentrated, you actually get a lot more cream for the money, since it's comparably priced to other kinds of shaving creams. This way, you can keep yourself from going broke while still getting a good shave.
Who Uses Cremo Shave Cream?
As a shaving soap guy, I really was jazzed about Cremo shave cream. I think the people who could benefit from it most are guys like me who aren't super into really foamy, airy, industrial-feeling shaving creams. If you don't want to feel like you're just rubbing meringue on your face, I highly recommend checking out Cremo. It's a really good investment, particularly for the price, and there's a gentle strength in the gummy, creamy concentration of essential oils and other natural ingredients that you'll find in it.
I think people who want to save on their shaving expenses would really like it too; like we said before, it costs just about as much as some other big shaving creams, but gives you a whole lot more uses than normal. Just be sure to put an almond's or quarter's worth of cream on your fingers, and you're good to go.
I'm not even sure whether to register this as a complaint, but I would say that one thing you may miss if you use Cremo shave cream is the whole wet shaving experience. For me, I find a lot of personal satisfaction in doing the ritual of the pre-shave, the whole business with putting your lather in your shaving scuttle, swirling it around with your shaving brush, and applying it laboriously to your face. Granted, it's time-consuming, so the Cremo can save you time, but if you want things to feel more authentic, this product takes away from that somewhat.
Some Last Words Before Your Purchase:
All things considered, I'm really quite pleased by Cremo. It gives you a good lather for a nice, close shave, and it's a wonderfully cost-effective measure for those people who don't want to break the bank buying all the bits and bobs needed for the full shaving experience. It also comes in a nice, travel sized container that makes it great for shaving on the road (not literally while driving, though, DON'T DO THAT), and the packaging is attractive enough for something that isn't trying to emulate old-school hockey-puck shaving accessory aesthetics.
If you're already a shaving cream guy, Cremo might not change your mind but for the innovative air-free composition; however, if you're usually into shaving soaps like me, this one might turn your head in surprise. Despite the rather uncreative name ("cream-o"? Like the Magneto of shaving creams?), this one's well worth a look.

As the college basketball industry celebrates its three week tournament with big games by making millions upon millions of dollars per game off of the backs of talented people including a good number of teenagers who do not get paid, there is now a Michael Avenatti problem. Avenatti was arrested on Monday after Avenatti threatened to hold a news conference accusing the sneaker company Nike of paying high school player associates unless Nike paid his client, an AAU coach, and retained Avenatti law firm to conduct an internal investigation. Avenatti was nabbed on suspicion of trying to extort more than $20 million from Nike.
The NCAA might have been breathing a sigh of relief that federal authorities arrested Avenatti and maybe the whole thing would go away as the investigators were more interested in Avenatti than someone from Nike funneling money to an AAU coach presumably to steer players into a college program. Avenatti's parting shots on his twitter feed should get the NCAA's attention. "Ask DeAndre Ayton and Nike about the cash payments to his mother, and others." or "Bol Bol and his handlers also received large sums from Nike." Bol Bol is at the University of Oregon. Or pictures of alleged money payments to Ayton's mother. The tournament continues and it seems that CBS, Turner Sports and sportswriters who make their livings covering college basketball would like to ignore that the college basketball business and the elite high school basketball industry are filled with corruption. The National Collegiate Athletic Association uses college students as its watchable money making bait but the student-athletes should not get paid for that work. But under the table money has gone to some players. Four former college basketball assistant coaches have taken plea deals in a college basketball corruption probe. Avenatti is in legal trouble but so is the college basketball industry.

*Dr. Alexander Shaver is also featured on the Chatham-Kent Physician Tribute website.

Film experts meet to discuss Government support
Figures from the UK film industry will meet with Culture Minister Ed Vaizey today to discuss the future of Government support for film.
Important figures from the UK film industry will meet with Culture Minister Ed Vaizey today to discuss the future of Government support for film. Mr Vaizey has called together the experts to hear their views on how public money can best be used to stimulate a thriving and sustainable industry.
The round table meeting will see all sectors of the industry give their opinions on how the key functions of the UK Film Council can best be carried out in future. The Government announced in July that the UK Film Council would be abolished as part of the cross-government drive to reform public bodies, increase accountability and reduce their number and cost.
Ed Vaizey said:
"There is no question that public support for film is continuing. Indeed, the major investment through lottery funding will increase from next year and the valuable film tax credit remains.
"I want a robust and coordinated strategy to promote the UK as the best place to invest in film making and to provide real support and advice to film makers and investors alike. I want to make sure that public funds generate value for a wider audience and are focused where they can really make a difference."
Today's meeting will be the first of a series of meetings and workshops to address the key areas where Government supports the film industry. It will focus on options for the future distribution of lottery funding to UK film and the administration of the Film Tax Relief Certification process. It will be attended by senior representatives from across the industry, including funders, exhibitors, studios, producers, directors and broadcasters.
It is intended that a decision on future Government support for film will be made later this autumn.
The following organisations will be attending today's round table meeting: Arts Council England; BBC Film; Big Talk; British Film Institute (BFI); British Screen Advisory Council; Cinema Exhibitors' Association (CEA); Channel 4 BRITDOC Foundation; Directors UK; Film 4; Film Distributors' Association (FDA); Film London; First Film Company; London Development Agency; Mayor of London's Office; National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA); Olswang LLP; Pinewood Shepperton plc; Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT); Screen England; The First Film Company Ltd; UK Screen Association.
The Government announced its decision to abolish the UK Film Council in July. Further details are available on the DCMS website.

The Lemhi Gold-Silver Project is located in the Dahlonega Mining Distrct, Lemhi County, approximately 25km north of Salmon, Idaho. The Lemhi Project was recently assembled from four underlying property holders to form a newly consolidated advanced exploration opportunity.
The Project includes Yamana's interest in the Humbug Gold Deposit and has a historical non-compliant 43-101 resource of 1.21 million contained ounces of gold, as reported by Pincock Allen & Holt in 1996 (the "PAH Report"). The PAH Report calculated a non-compliant 43-101 Geological Resource on the Humbug based on 277 reverse circulation holes totalling 157,000 feet with a cut-off grade of 0.0112 opt.
In 1996 Kappes, Cassiday & Associates conducted a non-compliant Pre-Feasibility Study on the Humbug deposit based on 15,675,000 tons of ore, and an approximate 6-year mine life. Under the terms of the acquisition an extensive 30,000 foot confirmation- drill program is planned to confirm, validate and expand historic gold resources.
The Moss Gold-Silver property is strategically located in Arizona's historic Oatman Mining District, which has produced over 2 million ounces of gold principally from high-grade underground operations. Historically 305 drill holes have been drilled on the Moss property between 1982 and 2008 for a total of 54,390 feet.
An extensive multi-phase confirmation in-fill and definition drilling program is now complete on the Moss Gold-Silver property. The systematic program included approximately 27,000 feet of drilling and employed both a diamond drill rig and a reverse circulation rig to confirm previous results reported from 305 historical holes drilled on the Moss property between 1982 and 2008.
Based on interpretation of existing exploration data and results compiled to date from the 305 historic holes drilled into the main Moss stockwork vein zone, the Company believes that the Moss Gold-Silver project has the potential for a significant ecomomic resource.
The Company's Copley Gold property is situated in the emerging Nechako Plateau of Central British Columbia, Canada. The 2,926 hectare property, which contains a large gold-bearing epithermal system measuring 7 kilometers long x 2 kilometers wide, lies on trend to the recent Blackwater-Davidson bulk-tonnage discovery 40 km to the south.


Another Brisbanite in Sydney! I work full time and like to chill at home or get out and explore on weekends. Prefer to have room mates who are friendly to live with rather than strangers! I'm quite outgoing and love a chat but I also enjoy my own quiet time. I clean up after myself and like to keep my space nice and tidy. I'm happy to live with females and/or males.

Can my landlord evict me?
A tenant (renter) can be evicted for a number of reasons, the most common of which include:
- Failure to pay rent
- Failure to pay fines
- Failure to abide by the lease agreement
- Criminal activity
- End of the lease agreement
The landlord CANNOT simply change the locks and force you out. Utah law states that:
It is unlawful for an owner to willfully exclude a tenant from the tenant's premises in any manner except by judicial process, provided, an owner or his agent shall not be prevented from removing the contents of the leased premises…and retaking the premises and attempting to rent them at a fair rental value when the tenant has abandoned the premises.
Utah Code 78B-6-814. Basically, what this means, is that the landlord must follow the legal process to evict a renter unless the landlord can prove that the property has been abandoned. Abandonment has it's own requirements, and the landlord cannot simply declare a property abandoned without having gone through the abandonment process.
The website for the Utah State Courts provides a lot of helpful information regarding each type of notice that a landlord can use. You can find that information here:

The Utah State Courts have also provided a flow chart that shows an overview of the eviction process. You can download that document here:

Jonathan Woodgate is Middlesbrough's new manager. It's an appointment met with optimism and pessimism in equal measure, but surely one thing is for certain: he can reclaim Boro's identity.
The grit and passion that is synonymous on Teesside has been few and far between since the days of Aitor Karanka, who built it into his team's DNA to transmit those exact qualities onto the pitch.
Somewhat ironically, we've ran out of steel, and that needs to change.
With Woodgate, there's no better man to spearhead a new era at the club – and a club he loves at that.
It may be 'unambitious', in fact, the phrase 'jobs for the boys' is being banded about a lot on social media.
But this isn't jobs for the boys. This is Boro trying to reinvent themselves.
The level of disconnect reached a point last season where fans had lost their empathy. No anger, no disappointment, no frustration. Nothing.
Garry Monk and Tony Pulis may be cut from different cloths of management, but the common ground between them is that they didn't win the fans over.
Woodgate can bridge that gap.
He may not be fans' first choice, but his love of Middlesbrough – the town and the football team – will go a long way in building up a rapport with the fans.
Like all of us, Woodgate wants Boro to succeed. He bleeds red. He's currently living a fan's dream and it's ludicrous to suggest he would take this position for granted.
His childhood heroes are like many others: Tony Mowbray, Gary Pallister, Stuart Ripley. All of whom a young Woodgate idolised from the North Stand at the old Ayresome Park ground.
Every Boro fan wants to see that. A crop of youngsters donning the red and white shirt. It's the essence of the famous spirit of 86 and it can be that now.
Woodgate knows the club's upcoming talents too. Stephen Walker, Bilal Brahimi, Nathan Wood – all players that have been coached under him during his spell as assistant manager, and players that can make the next step up.
There is a two-way street of respect between Woodgate and those around him, echoed between current pros, former pros and current coaches.
A world-class centre half during his playing career, he's performed at the highest level. UEFA Cup, Champions League, League Cup – even a stint at the Bernabeu. He's earned that respect.
🔴⚪started young #utb
A post shared by Jonathan Woodgate (@jonathanwoodgate39) on Nov 19, 2018 at 10:27am PST
"He's been at Real Madrid, he's been at Tottenham, he's had a great career and he has all the experience, so for me to pick his brains, I can only learn from him." – Dael Fry, 2018
He was praised as a valued member of the squad by current midfielder Adam Clayton after signing a new contract back in 2015.
"Everyone likes Woody," he said. "He's a top man and he's got time for everyone, whether that's one of the first team lads or one of the under-16s."
Defender Dael Fry has spoken on numerous occasions about the help Woodgate has given him to progress his Middlesbrough career.
In 2014 he told the FA: "He's a big influence on me and at the club and really good for the young lads. I ask him questions every day after training and games and he always stops to give advice. It's great for my development."
Former Boro assistant manager Steve Agnew describes Woodgate as 'a well-respected footballer' who has 'become a well-respected coach'.
Curtis Fleming said: "Woody wants to play good football, he's worked with some great coaches and he's a good coach himself."
Woodgate's drive and desire to learn the tricks of the trade will put him firmly on his way to becoming an established manager. He lives and breathes football, constantly taking in the game, decoding the play and even analysing analysts.
"I couldn't wait for it (televised games)," Woodgate said in 2013. "I couldn't wait for the preview though. I'll watch that, then I'll watch it afterwards as well. The way they analyse the games, I think it's fantastic to learn from."
This isn't just some random bloke picked off the streets of Nunthorpe. This is the best player to ever come from Middlesbrough in the modern era; a widely respected and established professional. A hard worker. A level headed figure unafraid of the big challenge. A footballing man. Our manager.
It's a gamble and he will need time, but don't worry, Woody's at the wheel.
