Shareholders to Receive Shares in Meryllion Resources Corp.
VANCOUVER, CANADA - Concordia Resource Corp. ("Concordia" or the "Company", TSX-V: CCN), is pleased to announce that the Company is undertaking a significant corporate reorganization (the "Reorganization") that will transform it into a company focused on high-technology exploration deploying breakthrough proprietary geophysical technology and expertise.
"Going forward, Concordia's focus will be on the application of the new, state-of-the-art HPX TechCo geophysical technologies to gain a competitive advantage in its exploration initiatives on selected prospects in some of the world's emerging mineral belts. We are excited to be able to secure 100% ownership in the Ebende Project in the DRC, an option to earn up to 95% interest in the Fairholme Project in Australia and additional $5 million cash and $5 million in available capital for the advancement of our projects. With this transaction, Concordia is adding the financial, technical and strategic backing of one of the best management groups in the world, led by Robert Friedland," said Mr. Krepiakevich, Interim CEO. "In addition, our shareholders will receive shares in Meryllion, a well-funded exploration company that will be listed on TSX-V and will continue the advancement of our Providencia and Cerro Amarillo properties in Argentina. We believe that the Reorganization will generate significant value for our shareholders."
The combination of Concordia and assets acquired from HPX TechCo Inc. ("HPX TechCo") will form a new, robust and focused company with a view to creating a foundation for growth. The Company will have strong management and an experienced board which, with the improved project portfolio and access to HPX TechCo's cutting-edge, proprietary technology, allow it better to identify and advance world class projects. Furthermore, the geophysical suite will allow the Company to leverage its unique position to add significant value.
Spinning out the Company's current Argentinian portfolio of projects into a new, South American focused explorer, Meryllion Resources Corporation ("Meryllion"), and distribution of shares in Meryllion to the Company's current shareholders.
issue 106,489,000 post-Consolidation and post-Spin-out shares equivalent to 85% of its post-transaction issued and outstanding common shares to HPX TechCo, an innovative mineral exploration company that employs its proprietary geophysical exploration technologies (the "HPX TechCo Technology Cluster") to identify and expand mineral discoveries. In exchange, Concordia will receive (i) $5,000,000 in cash; (ii) an 80% interest in the Ebende Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); (iii) an assignment of an option to earn an interest in the Fairholme copper-gold exploration project located in Condobolin, Australia, currently held by HPX TechCo; (iv) a $5,000,000 line of credit; and (v) will enter into a service agreement providing it with the right to deploy the HPX TechCo Technology Cluster (the "Service Agreement" and together with the items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the "HPX TechCo Consideration"). The foregoing transaction is referred to in this release as the "HPX TechCo Assets Acquisition".
The Consolidation and Spin-out will be pursuant to a court-approved statutory plan of arrangement under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the "Plan of Arrangement"). Concordia will seek Securityholder approval for the Plan of Arrangement and the HPX TechCo Assets Acquisition at a special general meeting to be held on November 29, 2013 (the "Meeting"). Shareholders of record on October 28, 2013 will be entitled to vote at the meeting.
Concordia and Meryllion have entered into an agreement (the "Vend-In Agreement") whereby Meryllion will receive the assets that will be spun out to Concordia's current shareholders through their acquisition of Meryllion shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. Under the terms of the Vend-In Agreement, Meryllion will issue 17,125,510 common shares to Concordia in exchange for $4,800,000 in cash, subject to post-closing adjustment, and Concordia's 100% interest in Meryllion Minerals Corporation (through which Concordia holds its interests in its Providencia and Cerro Amarillo Projects in Argentina).
Concordia has entered into an arrangement agreement with Meryllion pursuant to which Concordia will effect the Consolidation and Spin-out pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, all Concordia common shares will be consolidated on a 5:1 basis. The capital of Concordia then will be reorganized by renaming and redesignating all of the issued and unissued Concordia common shares as Class A shares and creating an unlimited number of common shares without par value as the new Concordia common shares ("New Concordia Common Shares").
Each one issued and outstanding Class A Share then will be deemed to be exchanged for one New Concordia Common Share and one Meryllion Share. All outstanding stock options to purchase Concordia common shares will be cancelled and exchanged on a 5:1 basis for new options to purchase New Concordia Common Shares with an adjusted exercise price to reflect the Spin-out.
the Meryllion Shares having been conditionally approved for listing on the Exchange and the Exchange shall otherwise have granted its conditional approval to the arrangement, the DRC Property Purchase and the HPX TechCo Assets Acquisition, as required.
Purchase of Assets from Bugeco S.A.
Concordia, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Swala Resources Inc., and pursuant to a memorandum of understanding ("MOU"), currently shares with Bugeco S.A (i) a 20% interest in Ebende Resources Limited, a company created for the purpose of holding certain exploration licences in Katanga Province, south-central DRC; and (ii) a 30% interest in the Kabongo Project ("Ambase Joint Venture"), also in the DRC, held 70% by Ambase Exploration Africa (DRC) S.P.R.L. (together, the "DRC Assets"). As part of the Reorganization, Concordia, Swala and Bugeco have entered into an agreement (the "Termination and Release Agreement") providing for the termination of the MOU and giving Swala a 100% of Bugeco's interest in the DRC Assets. In exchange, Bugeco will be paid $750,000 in cash and issued 1,666,667 post-Consolidation common shares of Concordia. Completion of the transactions contemplated by the Termination and Release Agreement is a condition precedent to completion of the Plan of Arrangement and the HPX TechCo Assets Acquisition.
Gerard de La Vallée Poussin, a director of the Company, is also a shareholder and director and Chief Executive Officer of Bugeco.
Concordia has entered into an asset purchase agreement with HPX TechCo, dated October 1, 2013 to effect the HPX TechCo Assets Acquisition (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including but not limited, to the approval of the HPX TechCo Assets Acquisition by at least 50% of the shareholders of Concordia at the Meeting and Exchange approval and the completion of the other transactions comprising the Reorganization. Concordia will be issuing 85% of its post-transaction issued and outstanding common shares to HPX TechCo in exchange for $5 million in cash; $5 million line of credit, an 80% interest in the Ebende Project, an assignment of an option to earn an interest in the Fairholme project and right to deploy the HPX TechCo Technology Cluster.
Concordia will enter into a service agreement to use the HPX TechCo Technology Cluster on its current and future projects. Pursuant to the terms of the Service Agreement, HPX TechCo agrees to perform geophysical services, analyses, and related exploration services for and as directed by Concordia, in exchange for Concordia covering the survey costs plus a 12% management fee. The term of the agreement is indefinite in length, though it can be terminated by either party with 30 days' written notice where there has been a material breach of the agreement, and will terminate automatically in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of a change of control of Concordia.
A key element of the Reorganization is the access that Concordia will gain to the HPX TechCo Technology Cluster pursuant to the Services Agreement.
HPX TechCo is a metals-focussed exploration company deploying proprietary, in-house geophysical technologies to rapidly evaluate buried geological targets. The company combines world-class geological and geophysical expertise, with innovative, ground-breaking, technological hardware and software solutions to address the limitations of existing minerals exploration technology.
HPX TechCo's Technology Cluster has been developed to facilitate rapid and deep electrical geophysical exploration in areas that have proved extremely difficult using historical technologies. These include high-power and high-signal specifications, facilitating high signal-to-noise ratios. This in turn enables accurate inversions to identify prospective targets. Both induced polarization and electromagnetic modes are available, enabling exploration for disseminated and massive sulphides, which usually would require separate transmitters.
HPX TechCo has been exploring for buried mineral discoveries since 2011, working in Namibia, Chile and currently in Australia. In Chile, a recently completed survey demonstrated that the HPX TechCo Technology Cluster can work in areas with caliche soils, a sedimentary layer of cemented calcium carbonate generally found in arid or semiarid regions that renders conventional geophysical exploration ineffective.
HPX TechCo is a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and indirectly controlled by Robert Friedland, a resident of Singapore.
On closing of the Reorganization, HPX TechCo will provide Concordia with a revolving line of credit with a maximum principal balance available to Concordia of $5,000,000. Initially, the loan will not bear interest. In order for HPX TechCo to charge interest on the principal of 3% per annum, compounded monthly, it must provide 30 days' advanced written notice to Concordia. Concordia must pay the full amount owing on the grid note within 90 days of a written demand letter from HPX TechCo ("Maturity Date"). Prior to the Maturity Date, Concordia may make repayments at any time with 10 days' written notice, without bonus or penalty.
The Ebende Project is an exploration prospect targeting nickel-copper and platinum group elements in Katanga and Kasai Provinces, south-central DRC. Exploration programs have been conducted by the Ebende Joint Venture (a joint venture between Concordia and HPX TechCo), with exploration expenditures over the past eighteen months totalling approximately $2.6 million. A NI 43-101 Technical Report is being prepared on the project and it is anticipated that this report will recommend completion of the current phase of exploration, as well as proceeding to an additional phase of exploration, expected to exceed $4 million.
The Ebende Project lies on the eastern margin of the Congo-Kasai Craton (Archaean) in an area largely covered by Lower Cretaceous sands and clays. These comprise part of the sedimentary sequence of the Congo Basin that covers much of the Congo Craton and adjacent mobile belts.
No detailed geology of the Ebende properties has been published due to the presence of the Cretaceous cover. However, a geological model has been inferred by Ebende Resources on the basis of detailed geophysical data that has been acquired, limited surface mapping, and drillhole intersections reported by De Beers and Ebende Resources.
A prominent magnetic member, consisting of a lower more magnetic member overlain by a lesser magnetic layer was identified in the sequence and in addition, layers of variable magnetic intensities are also present below and above the two magnetic members mentioned. Field follow-up and drilling indicated that the variable magnetics are caused by mainly high Fe-tholeiite basalts, varying in composition from picrobasalt, basalt, basaltic andesite to trachyandesite as well as dolerite. Further east, 'komatiitic basalts' (olivine basalts exhibiting spinifex textures) have been identified in outcrops reported by De Beers. The latest drilling indicates that the magnetic susceptibilities vary considerably, confirming the presence of a differentiated succession of Continental Plate Basalt Lavas in the upper portion of the Mbuji Mayi sequence.
This sequence could be correlated with the Upper Roan or Mwashya Subgroups of the Katangan Supergroup in the Central African Copper Belt of DRC. The correlation is supported by the presence of volcaniclastics and gabbro sills at this stratigraphic position in the Katangan Supergroup in the Copper Belt and basaltic andesites at certain localities as well as gabbro/dolerite at other occurrences of the Pan African Neoproterozoic formations.
Magnetic data reveals a large synformal magnetic structure along the eastern margin of the Mbuji Mayi synclinal basin which has been named the Ebende Structure. This structure drapes around the Congo Craton in a half moon shape with a north-northwest to northwest strike direction between Kabongo and Kabinda. The sediments of the Mbuji Mayi Supergroup are interpreted to be tightly folded east of the magnetic structure, between it and the basin contact with the Kibaran basement. The folding and possible thrusting are probably associated with the late Neoproterozoic closure of the Mbuji Mayi basin possibly during the Katangan orogenic episode.
No significant mineralization has yet been identified within the Ebende properties.
The Fairholme project covers most of the highly prospective Fairholme Igneous Complex, part of the Macquarie Arc of New South Wales, Australia. The igneous rocks of this complex show convincing geochemical correlation with the igneous rocks in the well mineralized Northparkes Igneous Complex. Significantly, the Fairholme intrusive rocks have chemistry that is typical of magmas responsible for the porphyry Cu-Au mineralization in the Cadia Valley deposits (Newcrest) and the Northparkes deposits (Rio Tinto).
Three Fairholme prospects: Boundary, Dungarvan and Gateway; are located within the licence. All three are associated with significant basement Cu-Au-Mo geochemical anomalies, prominent alteration halos and discrete magnetic anomalies, the size and scale of which are comparable to the footprint of several world-class porphyry deposits; e.g. Cadia-Ridgeway, Batu Hijau and Alumbrera.
Previous workers have established that Ordovician porphyry-style alteration and mineralisation is present within the Fairholme Igneous Complex, with significant Cu-Au mineralization intersected at the Boundary prospect and lower grade Cu anomalism intersected at the Dungarvan prospect. Significant Au mineralization has also been intersected at Gateway but it remains unclear if this is related to mineralization at Boundary and Dungarvan.
A work program is being planned for execution during the 2014 and 2015 field seasons.
Concordia is currently a junior exploration company seeking to identify large-scale mineral discoveries in Africa and South America. The Company has an extensive portfolio of early-stage exploration prospects in some of the world's most prospective mineral regions including Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique and Argentina.
Following the Reorganization, Concordia will become a well-financed junior exploration company seeking to identify large-scale mineral discoveries in Africa, Australia and Americas.
"The new Concordia will expedite ongoing exploration at the Ebende project in the DRC, and the Fairholme project in Australia. A review of Concordia's projects will identify the prospects with the highest potential, and we will adjust the Company's exploration portfolio accordingly to provide us with the highest leverage to HPX TechCo's innovative technologies to advance our existing projects, as well as using the technology to gain competitive advantage in acquiring new projects," said Mr. Krepiakevich.

Islamic Wafaa' Bloc Wins Majority in Birzeit University Student Council Elections
Islamic Wafaa' Bloc (Hamas) won 26 out of 51 seats in the Birzeit University Student Council elections held on April 22, 2015. Competing factions Martyr Yasser Arafat Bloc (Fatah) got 19 seats, the Democratic Progressive Student Pole won five seats, and the Birzeit Student Alliance (Palestinian Democratic Union, Palestinian People's Party, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine) obtained one seat.
Head of the Elections Preparatory Committee and Dean of Student Affairs Mohammad Al-Ahmad said that 7039 out of 9135 eligible students to vote participated in the elections, with voting rates at 77.1%. The number of null votes was 186 and empty votes amounted to 66.
President Khalil Hindi applauded the students' commitment and cooperation, and that the elections took place in a peaceful and democratic atmosphere that reflected students' sense of responsibility towards their university. He emphasized that the efforts undertaken by the university would be insufficient without students' efforts to contribute to an active and positive role in the community.
One day before the elections, a student debate between the competing blocs was held in which each bloc presented its electoral program and its goals and objectives, followed by questions asked by the Student Affairs dean.
In the 2014 elections, the Fatah Bloc won 23 seats out of 51 seats, the Islamic Wafaa' Bloc got 20 seats, Student Progressive Democratic Bloc held seven seats and the United Students Bloc won one seat.

Seasonal Tradition
Tradition is a tricky beast. Call something "traditional" and it instantly acquires the authority of an age old practice. The general impression one gets is that anything "traditional" has been going on long enough that it's origins are lost in the mists of time. However, I once heard that for something to be considered tradition it only has to pass through three generations, whilst the Concise Oxford Dictionary defines tradition as "a custom handed down" saying nothing about how many hands are required to qualify.
I mention this because Christmas, probably the highest concentration of traditional activity in the modern year, has only held it's current form for a very short period of time. Your traditional roast turkey, for instance, is only just scraping through on the most generous interpretation of the COD's definition. Unless you are American, your grandparents are far more likely to have considered a goose as the traditional bird. You would only need to go back another generation or two to find people being shocked at the idea of standing a tree up in the corner then covering it in pretty stuff; and Ivy was never brought in to the home as it was generally considered to be infested with fairies, and you wouldn't want them loose in the house!
So what sort of tales are "traditionally" associated with Yuletide? For those of us brought up with Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and Roger Moore sprinkling cheese all over our afternoon present giving, it may come as a surprise that the tale types most common to this time of year are dark tales of desperation and struggles through unbearable loss. The Victorians, who gave us much of what we think of as a traditional Christmas, typically whiled away the festive evenings telling ghost stories. Dicken's Christmas Carol neatly combines these concepts to forge a classic that straddles the transition from what was to what is. Going further back in time, Scandinavians used to tell stories of Odin who, as one of the precursors to St Nicholas, led the wild hunt in a mad career across the Yuletide skies on his eight legged horse, not only giving out gifts to those who were good but punishments to those who were bad, an element we seem to have totally lost today (Just like bankers getting bonuses whatever happens).
Whilst we are in historical Scandinavia, let us pause for a moment in Norway at a place called Dogre. It is on a fell near the mountains and the tradition was to provide hospitality to all-comers during the mid winter feasting. One year, on the eve of the feast, a traveller arrived at a house asking for lodgings for him and his bear. The owner explained that he was welcome to stay but he and his family were just leaving as, being so close to the mountains the house was annually overrun by coarse, ill-mannered trolls. The stranger said he was too tired to go any further and would take his chance with the trolls, then installed himself and his bear by the fire.
The trolls duly arrived in all their grotesque ugliness and made themselves at home, toasting sausages in the flames. One of them approached the bear saying "Kitty want a sausage?" and shoved the hot charred item on to the unsuspecting beasts nose. Naturally the bear lost its temper at the provocation and chased the trolls from the house.
The next year, as the family were preparing to forsake their home once again a troll poked it's head round the door and said "Have you still got that cat?" thinking quickly the Owner responded "Yes and she's had seven kittens who are all growing with remarkable speed!"
They were never troubled with trolls again.
Merry Christmas to you all!

Sample Users:

However, I don't know how to sync these information with my database so I can reach the data in the database. Here is my example database:

How can I get the informations about customers like name,surname,balance after auth is successful? I mean, how can I tell the Firebase, the auth email and password same as firestore database?

A:
How can I get the information about customers like
name, surname, balance after auth is successful?

I understand that you want to link one document of the customers collection to each user. The classical solution to do so is to use the user uid as the Firestore document ID.
As soon as your user is created, you can get its uid and create the Firestore document, like, for example:
final user = await _auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(
        email: email!, password: password!
);
if (user != null) {
    await addCustomer(user.uid, email, password);
    Navigator.pushNamed(context, CustomerScreen.id);
}

...

CollectionReference customers = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('customers');

Future<void> addCustomer(userID, email, password) {
  return customers
    .doc(userID)
    .set({
      ...
    })
    .then((value) => print("Customer added"))
    .catchError((error) => print("Failed to add customer: $error"));
}

I understand from your comment below that you want to query the customers collection to find the user which has a specific email and password.
This is possible with a query, however I would recommend not using the password value for executing queries. This is a sensitive data that you should avoid using as a query parameter.
Actually you can very well query just by email: since you cannot create two Firebase users with the same email, you are sure that your query will return a unique result (if you didn't create some duplicate documents in the customers collection...).

Assurnasirpal II (? - 859 aC) fou un rei d'Assíria que va regnar entre els anys 884 i 859 aC. La major part de la informació del seu regnat procedeix dels seus annals. Era fill de Tukultininurta II al que va succeir a la seva mort.

Campanyes militars
Ja el primer any de regnat va fer la seva primera expedició en direcció al nord-oest (seguint el curs del Tigris), on va fer la guerra a la manera tradicional assíria, imposant el terror a les poblacions i destruint tot el que trobava.

Va travessar el riu Tigris i va avançar cap al nord cap al país de Nimme (o Numme) que estava situat a l'oest del llac Van (on després hi va haver Mush o Muş) on hi havia diverses ciutats fortificades que va conquerir (les ciutats eren Libi, Surra, Abuku, Arura i Arabi) causant grans pèrdues a l'enemic; els defensors que van sobreviure van fugir cap a les muntanyes però al cap de tres dies foren atrapats al lloc on s'havien ajuntat i 200 foren massacrats; retornant llavors a la plana va destruir les muralles de les ciutats i les va incendiar; el país va acceptar pagar tribut a Assíria; la capital de Nimme era Gube que podria ser identificada amb la moderna Gop. Assurnasirpal es va dirigir llavors en direcció sud-est al país de Kirruri (Gurrur), que podria ser fronterer o molt proper a Nimme, i va recaptar un important tribut en bestiar, coure, i vi; un governador assiri es va establir de manera permanent. El país de Ada'usch (al Zab Superior) es va sotmetre i el país de Gozan o Gurzan (entre el Tigris i el llac Urmia i el país de Khubushkia (a l'oest de l'anterior) van enviar voluntàriament tributs en cavalls, plata, or, coure, i altres. Llavors el rei es va dirigir al sud pel pas de Julum, on va entrar des del mont Rowandiz (Rawanduz), cap a la terra de Qurkhi de Betani a la riba del Tigris a l'est de la moderna Diyarbekir, i va lluitar contra la població local que va fugir a les muntanyes, però igualment foren atrapats i 260 massacrats i amb els seus caps es va fer una piràmide; les ciutats del país, Midkia, Arzania, Tila i Nishtum van quedar buides i també es va establir un governador assiri. Bubu, el fill del senyor de Nishtum fou mort a Arbela i la seva pell penjada de les muralles de la fortalesa.

El següent any (883 aC) va envair Kummukh (Commagena) potser per exigir el pagament del tribut; el regne es va sotmetre sense lluita i abans de culminar tot el previst el rei fou cridat a la riba de l'Eufrates on els aramaeus vivien en agrupacions tribals o en ciutats, algunes independents i altres dependents d'Assíria i amb governadors assiris; una d'aquestes comunitats era Bit Khaluppi (moderna Halebe), a mig camí entre el Balikh i el Khabur, i estava governada per l'assiri Khamitai; estant Assunasirpal II a Kummukh va esclatar una revolta a Suru, la capital o ciutat principal de Bit Khaluppi, i el governador fou assassinat i com a cap es va erigir Akhiyababa, vingut de Bit Adini, i de condició humil. El rei amb el seu exèrcit es va dirigir cap allí i es va aturar a Sadikan o Gardikan (moderna Arban) on va rebre el tribut d'un príncep arameu, Shulman-khaman-ilaniy; després es va aturar a Shuma on va rebre el tribut del príncep de Katnu (no identificada), Ilu-Adad. La notícia de la seva arribada es va saber a Bit Khaluppi que immediatament es va rendir; però el rei no ho va acceptar, i va atacar la ciutat i va forçar l'entrega de tots els que havien participat en la revolta; als oficials els va fer tallar les cames; els nobles que havien pres part a la rebel·lió foren executats i els seus cossos acumulats en una piràmide a la porta de la ciutat; aquesta fou saquejada i destruïda; Akhiyababa fou fet presoner i enviat a Nínive on fou espellat i la seva pell va adornar les muralles de la fortalesa; Azilu fou nomenat nou governador assiri. Els prínceps arameus de Laqu (Laqi, a la riba nord de l'Eufrates al sud de Suru la capital de Bit Khaluppi) i Khindanu (de situació desconeguda; podria ser la clàssica Giddan al sud de l'Eufrates) van enviar el tribut mentre el rei era a Suru; també va enviar el tribut un altre poble arameu, els shuhites de Suhi o Shuhi, tribut que va portar el mateix rei Ilubani amb els seus fills, que va anar directament a Nínive.

Després el rei va anar a Nínive on va restar un temps fins que va tenir notícies de la revolta d'uns colons assiris establerts a Khalzi-lukha, sota la direcció de Khulai; els rebels van atacar la ciutat de Damdamusa. El rei va sortir altre cop en direcció nord cap al territori afectat; a les fonts del riu Supnat va gravar una estela al costat dels gravats de Teglatfalassar I i després va seguir al nord-oest cap al mont Masius, i cap a les ciutats de Kinabu (on Khulai fou fet presoner els seus homes massacrats i la ciutat arrasada) i Mariru, principals centres del govern de Khalzi-lukha. A la tornada va passar pel país de Nirbi o Nirbu, les terres baixes de la regió de Diyarbekir, on va devastar la ciutat principal, Tela o Tila, defensada per una muralla; 3000 homes van morir durant i després de la seva conquesta; després va seguir una mica al sud i es va aturar a Tuskha, les muralles de la qual foren reformades i dins les muralles va fer construir un palau reial de nova planta; una estela del rei amb la descripció de les seves guerres i conquestes a Nairi es va fixar a les muralles de la ciutat; la ciutat fou repoblada per colons assiris i es va establir un magatzem de gra, que aparentment tenia finalitat militar per les operacions al nord i oest; els habitants del país que havien fugit del país de Nirbi van poder tornar pagant un tribut encara que moltes de les cases havien quedat en ruïnes. Mentre es feien les muralles i el palau es van rebre els tributs de diversos prínceps veïns entre els quals Ammi Baal de Bit Zamani (Zaman), Iluyiti el Rureu de Nirdun, la ciutat d'Ardkhupa (no localitzada), Akhiram de Zalla (Izalla), i el príncep d'Urumu o Urumi (part del país de Nirbi); una vegada els assiris van sortir del territori, aquest país de Nirbi o Nirbu, al nord del mont Masius, fou teatre d'una revolta a final d'any; les forces del rei van retornar i van derrotar els rebels a Ishpilibria i Buliami, i la revolta fou liquidada de la manera habitual. De retorn a Nínive va rebre tribut de Qurkhi, Mildish o Meliddu (Malatya) i dels "hitites"

El 882 aC el rei va tenir notícies que el príncep Bir Ramman de Dagara, que havia estat imposat pels assiris, i el príncep veí de Zamua no volien pagar tribut; aquests territoris estaven a l'est del Tigris a la zona del llac Urmia entre el Zab i el Turnat (modern riu Shirvan); avançant-se als assiris van envair el seu territori, i es va lliurar una batalla a les terres baixes d'Assíria, en que foren derrotats; després d'això diverses ciutats dels dos estats foren ocupades pels assiris (Uzi, Birutu, Lagalaga, Bara, Bunasi i altres vint ciutats) però la fortalesa rebel de Babiti no va poder ser conquerida tot i els repetits atacs; contra el costum les ciutats ocupades no foren destruïdes, i els prínceps van pagar un tribut molt més alt que el que se'ls havia demanat inicialment. Quan el 881 aC Bir Ramman de Dagara i Amika de Zamua van refusar altre cop el tribut, els assiris van envair el territori i aquesta vegada el van assolar a la manera tradicional, cremant ciutats, destruint edificis i fent córrer la sang; la destrucció fou completa i els assiris van poder avançar més lluny cap a les muntanyes del Nizir buscant més botí on es va ocupar Larbusa, Dur Lulumi, Bunasi i Bara; la campanya està descrita però els noms són totalment desconeguts i no es pot establir un relat prou coherent. Sembla que Zamua es va rendir i el rei Amika va fugir i els assiris que el perseguien van destruir en el seu camí Zamrum Aratsiku, Ammaru, Pasindu, Iruta i Surita; en canvi Bir Ramman va seguir lluitant un temps amb centre a Birutu fins que els assiris van ocupar aquesta ciutat i van obtenir una decisiva victòria a Misu a la vora de la muntanya Aziru; els rebels es van rendir i Babiti fou finalment ocupada (encara posteriorment van ser ocupades la capital del país Sinabu, i la ciutat de Tidu i es va establir com a nou príncep Uptianu, germà de Bir Ramman). El rei d'Arashtua, Ammallu (o Ammalu), s'havia sumat a la rebel·lió, i fou atacat igualment, però quan els assiris van sortir el rei va ocupar les fortaleses de Khudun i Kizurta que estaven en mans dels assiris. Tot i haver practicat la destrucció, el rei va fer construir una ciutat de nom Atlila, que podria estar a la regió de Kirkuk, potser al sud-est d'aquesta ciutat, que sembla que havia estat destruïda anteriorment pels babilonis, i va esdevenir una fortalesa regional amb el nom de Dur-Ashur, assegurant la frontera oriental del regne. La riquesa portada a Assur any rere any va ser enorme, però sempre calia més botí per mantenir operatiu un exèrcit poderós.

El 880 aC el rei va anar en persona a recaptar el tribut a Kummukh. Des d'aquest territori va anar a Matiatu al sud-est de la terra de Qurkhi i a l'est del mont Masius, amb el mateix propòsit, entrant a les ciutats de Kapranisha i Mazula; després va refer camí cap a Zazabuya i Irsia (que fou destruïda) i va conquerir Madara i Anzu a les muntanyes Kashiari (Mont Masius); llavors va anar a Singuisha, va tornar cap a Madara, i d'allí va retornar a la fortalesa de Tushka on va continuar la seva activitat constructora; bona part de l'any va estar ocupat en una sistemàtica recaptació de tributs i a preparar una futura campanya de conquesta. A la rodalia de Tuskha (potser al nord del riu) va destruir seixanta ciutats i va sostenir una batalla victoriosa de dos dias a Pitura, una fortalesa del país de Dirria; després va obtenir una nova victòria a Kushunu i va ocupar mig centenar de pobles del país de Dirria; va seguir cap a Arbatiki i va conquerir Iaya i Sulaniga, i va destruir 250 poblacions de Nairi. A la tornada va assolar el país de Nirdum, Luluta, Kirra, Aggunu, Ullib (país proper a Qarkhi), Arbaki i Nirbi, i la ciutat de Sura o Shura.

El 879 aC el rei va sortir el juny de la seva capital Kalah o Kalakh (després Nimrud) i va fer parada a Tubiti (Thebet) on va romandre fins al juliol, seguint després cap al Khabur, després cap a Suru, i finalment cap a l'Eufrates. Bit Khaluppi va pagar tribut sense protestar, i el mateix van fer la resta de comunitats, pagant or, plata, cavalls i ramats. Finalment el rei va arribar a l'Eufrates a Anat (moderna Anath). A Sunhu va intentar recaptar tribut a una ciutat de nom Suru (portava el mateix nom que la capital de Bit Khaluppi, però era una ciutat diferent), la principal del país, però Sunhu s'havia aliat al rei de Babilònia del que sempre havia estat tributària, i els caps locals es van negar a pagar. El rei babiloni Nabuapaliddin I (888-855 aC) va donar suport als seus aliats sense implicar-se directament; va enviar 50 cavallers i 300 infants. Finalment va esclatar la guerra i els assiris van aconseguir la victòria; els habitants del país, els sunkheus, foren castigats de la manera habitual; les ciutats foren devastades i molts dels seus pobladors foren morts; el botí fou important. Babilònia, ocupada en altres afers no va reaccionar.

El rei va retornar a Assur i poc després d'arribar es va produir la revolta dels arameus de Laqi (els lakheus), Khindanu i Shuhi. Aquesta vegada el rei estava millor preparat pel combat perquè havia fet construir uns bots a Sura i podia seguir als fugitius cap a les illes del riu; va sortir de Kalah el 9 de juny i es va presentar a la zona i va causar una devastació enorme que fou recordada per segles; les ciutats foren cremades i destruïdes fins als fonaments i els habitants que foren capturats foren massacrats i els dipòsits d'aliments foren també eliminats de manera que els que van sobreviure no tenien res a menjar. Els prínceps rebels eren Khinti Ilu i Azi Ilu. A la desembocadura del Khabur va conquerir la ciutat de Sibati al país de Shuhi i va seguir cap a Kharidu on va derrotar a forces dels lakheus, sunheus i khindaneus matant a 3.600 homes i assolant el territori entre Kharidu i Kipina. Un guerrer lakheu, Aziel, va ocupar els passos de l'Eufrates a Kipin, però fou derrotat i va haver de fugir cap a la muntanya Bisuru (després Jebel Bishri) que el van empaitar fins a les ciutats de Dummitu i Azmu al límit del territori de Bit Adini, que foren destruïdes, però Aziel no va poder ser capturat (si que ho fou un príncep lakheu de nom Ilai). Dues ciutats foren fundades: una a la riba sud de l'Eufrates anomenada Kar-Ashur-nazir-pal (Fortalesa d'Ashur), i l'altra a l'altre costat del riu, anomenada Nibarti-Ashur (el Pas d'Ashur) les dues amb proposits militars.

A l'any següent (877 aC) el rei va sortir de Kalah l'11 de juny i va tornar a la zona per seguir reprimint als arameus que segurament mantenien la resistència instigats per l'estat de Bit Adini, a l'Eufrates, al sud de Karkemish i que estenia la seva influència fins a la desembocadura del Khabur. La capital era Kap-Rabi (Gran Roca) una fortalesa inexpugnable, amb molts habitants i sempre desafiant; només amb la conquesta d'aquest lloc es podria posar fi a les revoltes. Assurnasirpal va optar finalment per assetjar Kap-Rabi, que va conquerir; 800 defensors foren executats i 2400 fets presoners; la ciutat fou arrasada. El príncep arameu de Bit Adini, Akhum, es va sotmetre i va pagar tribut. El príncep de Til Abni, a l'altre costat de l'Eufrates, Khabin, va seguir el mateix camí. L'efecte fou ràpid: els estats arameus que no havien pagat el tribut van córrer a fer-ho i la resta del regnat ja no hi va haver més conflictes a la zona. Els arameus no obstant van conservar completa autonomia interna mentre paguessin el tribut que només els donava dret a no ser atacats per Assíria.

L'abril del 876 aC va iniciar la seva campanya cap a occident sortint de Kalah a finals d'abril; el camí per Mesopotàmia fou poc menys que una marxa triomfal; els estats li van pagar sense protestar el tribut establert. Aquestos tributs formats per carros, cavalls, plata, or, plom i coure, foren enviats a Assur i el rei va seguir endavant. L'Eufrates fou creuat en bots fets de pells d'animals, per Karkemish, capital d'un petit estat neohitita que governava Sangara i que immediatament va acceptar pagar tribut a Assíria; la seva activitat era purament comercial i una guerra, que probablement perdria, no interessava a l'estat, ja que arruïnaria el comerç, i per tant el pagament d'un tribut era un mal menor, si s'evitava el saqueig i la destrucció; el rei assiri va acceptar el tribut i va seguir cap a l'oest, passant per territori de Bit Adini, i creuant el riu Apre (modern Afrin) arribant al territori d'un altre estat arameu menor, Patin (Khatina o Hatina), que tenia per capital a Kunulua (o Kumulua) i estava governat per Lubarna; el seu territori anava entre el riu Apre i l'Orontes i sembla que seguia fins a la mar sent un territori pla i fèrtil. Els assiris van arribar a Khazaz (moderna Azaz) i el rei Lubarna no va presentar resistència i, refugiat a la seva capital, va accedir a pagar un important tribu. Va seguir cap al sud arribant a l'Orontes que va creuar i a la ciutat d'Aribua (de situació desconeguda, propera al riu Sangura, que era la posició més al sud de Lubarna de Patin. La ciutat fou convertida en una base assíria i s'hi van establir colons; gra i palla cultivat per força a les terres de Lukuthi, fou emmagatzemat en aquest lloc. Des d'aquí el rei tenia el camí obert cap a les muntanyes del Líban al nord o oest. Els governs de Tir, Sidó, Trípoli i Arvad li van enviar esplèndids regals, un error, ja que això implicava que eren rics cosa que no va passar per alt als assiris. De moment el rei, veient que les ciutats havien pagat tribut, es va dirigir al nord cap a les muntanyes Amanus. Cedres, xiprers i junípers foren tallats i enviats a Assur igual que uns arbres anomenats mekhri, no identificats, però que eren prou nombrosos per donar nom a la regió on foren trobats (país de Mekhri o Mikhri); algun exemplar fou tallat i enviat a Nínive al temple d'Ishtar. En tota la campanya les forces assíries van evitar acuradament acostar-se a les fronteres de l'estat arameu de Damasc, el principal estat arameu, per fer front al qual els consellers del rei pensaven que encara no estaven preparats. La campanya no va necessitar destruccions, saquejos i matances, ja que no va trobar resistència enlloc.

Després de nou anys sense expedicions, el 867 aC va fer una nova campanya, sortint de Kalah l'11 de maig, passant per Kipan i Izalla, fins a Kummukh, Qurkhi, i les terres del mont Masius. La campanya fou per recaptar tribut. De Kumukh va baixar per l'Eufrates pel país de Kubbu arribant fins a les ciutats d'Umalia i Jiranu al país d'Adani (Bit Adini?), a l'est del país de Khati (regió de Karkemish) que va destruir. Es va conquerir la ciutat de Karani i després va passar a Qurkhi i va fer una expedició a Dirria, Mallanu i Zamba es van destruir diverses ciutats (que foren cremades) es van fer tres mil presoners que foren portats a Assíria. A la tornada a Qurkhi estava revoltat el governador de Damdamusa, Ilanu, que fou derrotat i es va nomenar allí un governador assiri. Fou la seva darrera campanya i la resta del regnat va ser pacífic.

Obra civil
Entre les seves obres principals, en part fetes també en anys de campanya, hi ha una reconstrucció de la ciutat de Kalah o Kalakh (Nimrud) que en haver estat un temps abandonada havia quedat malmesa; també la construcció d'un canal. La part exterior de les muralles fou construïda amb rajola cuita mentre la del darrere era de rajola simple. La construcció assíria era dolenta i els edificis necessitaven sovint reparacions. Els temples i palaus assiris no s'han conservat a diferència dels d'Egipte i els trobats a les excavacions estan en un estat molt pitjor. En aquesta ocasió es va construir un palau que fou residència reial per segles i les seves ruïnes s'han trobat a Nimrud (on n'hi ha almenys tres). Va construir un canal o aqüeducte que portava aigua a la ciutat des del Zab, anomenat Babelat-Khigal (Portador de la Productivitat).

Successió
El 859 aC va morir després de 25 anys de regnat. El va succeir el seu fill Salmanassar III.

The US securities and exchange commission (SEC) is known painted as a villain in the crypto community. People often view the SEC as longing to stamp out innovation if it is a risk to investors.
News spread very quickly within the crypto community when the SEC chairman affirmed that Ethereum (ETH) is not a security. This definitely works in favor of all those who have invested in Ethereum as the fact that Ethereum is not considered a security product actually means that it falls under a different category which is far more crypto-friendly.
Cryptocurrency investors across the US would like to verify which of the other cryptocurrencies are considered to be non-security products as well, and there is some speculation that XRP will be the next to follow in Ethereum's footsteps. The reason Ethereum is not considered a security product is due to the fact that it is used for non-security transactions.
However, if you are still looking for a bit more clarification on the topic, the SEC is setting out on a road trip across the US to answer questions regarding trading and securities registration along with any further questions people may have.
The SEC's Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology will begin on the 26th March 2019 and its doors will be open between 12:00 until 16:00. The topics which will be included in the meetings will be advisory services related to digital assets, digital assets, digital asset trading platforms, and digital marketplace financing.
The announcement of the road trip followed after the statement that Enthereum is not a security and it will hopefully be useful to understand more about cryptocurrency across the US. The road trip will be an attempt to promote awareness around the issue of cryptocurrency as digital asset technology and to provide a space where innovators, entrepreneurs, and regulators can discuss cryptocurrency.

Dosinia lupinus is a species of bivalves belonging to the family Veneridae.

The species is found in Europe, Western Asia and Africa.

Earlier, one subspecies (Dosinia lupinus orbignyi (Dunker, 1845) was recognized, but later it was raised to species level: Dosinia orbignyi (Dunker, 1845).

Lincoln With The Great Engine V12 - Lincoln cars - for those who aim higher!
Most of the cars in the city traffic have V6 or V8 engines, but Lincoln Continental has even V12 engine. The career of the first models of this car was interrupted by the war, when it was at its highest peak, and even some period after it, "Lincoln Continental" and its first generations were in fact quite short-lived. But still, it was the last of the American cars, which possessed the famous engine V12.
Even though the production of these cars stopped in the year 2002, this car is still greatly desired by people and most of them are waiting for the moment, when the headquarters of Lincoln or of Ford even will decide to bring this car back into production. This car is a true legend, evoking great memories and images of famous people. Therefore, this car is a symbol, which is cherished by the many.

Peru Fin Min: Gov't is taking action to spur GDP
Jefe del Gabinete, Fernando Zavala.
13:20 | Lima, Jul. 6.
The Peruvian Government is adopting a series of measures to reactivate GDP, Economy and Finance Minister Fernando Zavala affirmed on Thursday.
"We are convinced that economic growth is important, and that we need it to be higher than what we see today, so we are implementing a set of measures," the government official said.
Speaking at the awarding ceremony of the Amazon Waterway project, Zavala explained said actions are mainly geared towards speeding up public spending and promoting private investment as an economic growth engine.
"This [Amazon Waterway awarding] is an example of many other processes to come in the next months, pointing to the relevant role of private participation," the also Prime Minister said.
To conclude, the Finance Head anticipated initiatives coming in the remainder of the year and in 2018, such as Salaverry Port, a stretch of Longitudinal de la Sierra (Highlands Longitudinal) Highway, and ten other projects.

Captain Pantoja and the Special Service
Captain Pantoja and the Special Service (1973) (orig. Spanish Pantaleón y las visitadoras) is a relatively short comedic novel by acclaimed Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa.
The story takes place in the Peruvian department of Amazonas, where troops from the Peruvian Army are attended to by sex workers, referred to euphemistically in the Spanish juridical term visitador, meaning "auditors", "inspectors" or "examiners".
According to the author himself, the work is based on facts, as he was able to verify them in 1958 and in 1962 when he travelled to the Peruvian jungle. It deals with Captain Pantoja's (from whom the novel's title takes its name) astonishing efficiency campaign to provide prostitution services for quelling the sexual desires of the Peruvian army soldiers stationed in what is portrayed as an incredibly aphrodisiacal Amazon jungle.
