Results of SAK-1 and KSR-20 wells in Morocco
Nov 14 2022 07:00 GMT Source: RNS
RNS Number : 2258G
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS DEEMED BY THE COMPANY TO CONSTITUTE INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED UNDER THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) NO. 596/2014 AS IT FORMS PART OF UK DOMESTIC LAW BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018 AS AMENDED.
SDX ENERGY PLC ("SDX", the "Company" or the "Group")
SDX Energy Plc (AIM: SDX), is pleased to announce a successful two well drilling campaign in Morocco that opens up a new producing area. Further wells are planned in Morocco for 2023 to drive production and revenue growth.
In Morocco, the Company announces two discoveries from the recently completed SAK-1 and KSR-20 wells. The SAK-1 well has already been connected to the Company's infrastructure and testing results indicate that in place volumes will be on the higher side of the pre-drill P50 estimate of 0.44 bcf. Crucially, the well opens a new production area to the north-west of the Company's historical producing area, with several other follow-on prospects identified within the SAK cluster.
The KSR-20 well has also discovered gas in this well-known area and is currently undergoing a pressure build up test. The well will be put on production as soon as permitting and tie in are completed and an announcement on anticipated in place volumes will be made in due course.
Following these successes, and the identification of further similar drillable prospects, the Company plans to expand its drilling operations in 2023. To date, over 70 prospects have been identified on the portion of Moroccan acreage that is covered by high-quality 3D seismic, of which 25 have been high-graded and total around 20 bcf P50 EUR unrisked.
Mark Reid, CEO of SDX, commented:
"We are pleased with the results of both the SAK-1 and KSR-20 wells. In addition to opening a new play fairway with numerous follow-on drillable targets, the wells will contribute immediately to production and revenue growth in an area where demand and gas pricing is robust. Morocco remains a key area of potential growth for SDX and we look forward to planning further drilling in 2023. I would also like to add my thanks to our partner ONHYM for the provision of the excellent drilling team and the ONHYM 525 rig which was used to great effect during the campaign."

Oil and Gas Advisory
Certain disclosures in this news release constitute "anticipated results" for the purposes of NI 51-101 because the disclosure in question may, in the opinion of a reasonable person, indicate the potential value or quantities of resources in respect of the Company's resources or a portion of its resources. Without limitation, the anticipated results disclosed in this news release include estimates of volume, flow rate, production rates, porosity, and pay thickness attributable to the resources of the Company. Such estimates have been prepared by Company management and have not been prepared or reviewed by an independent qualified reserves evaluator or auditor. Anticipated results are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described above and various geological, technical, operational, engineering, commercial, and technical risks. In addition, the geotechnical analysis and engineering to be conducted in respect of such resources is not complete. Such risks and uncertainties may cause the anticipated results disclosed herein to be inaccurate. Actual results may vary, perhaps materially.
Prospective Resources Data
The prospective resources estimates disclosed or referenced herein have been prepared by Dr. Rob Cook, a qualified reserves evaluator, in accordance with the SPE's Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and in accordance with NI 51-101. The prospective resources disclosed herein have an effective date of 1 January 2022. Prospective resources are those quantities of gas, estimated as of the given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations through future development projects. As prospective resources, there is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. The chance that an exploration project will result in a discovery is referred to as the "chance of discovery" as defined by the management of the Company.
There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources discussed herein; though any discovery that is commercially viable would be tied back to the Company's pipeline in Morocco and then connected to customers' facilities within 9 to 12 months of discovery. Based upon the economic analysis undertaken on any discovery, management has attributed an associated chance of development of 100%.
There are uncertainties associated with the volume estimates of the prospective resources disclosed herein, due to the level of information available on prospective resources, but ranges are defined based on data from the Company's nearby existing analogous wells. Some of the risks and uncertainties are outlined below:
· Petrophysical parameters of the sand/reservoir;
· Fluid composition, especially heavy end hydrocarbons:
· Accurate estimation of reservoir conditions (pressure and temperature);
· Reservoir drive mechanism;
· Potential well deliverability; and
· The thickness and lateral extent of the reservoir section, currently based on 3D seismic data.
"P50" means that there is at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.

There are 28 venues within a 5 mile radius of "Lewisham"
Badminton is much loved across Lewisham and there are some brilliant venues available for locals to book online. A key feature of badminton is that it is always played indoors which means that it's possible to get involved in matches for the entire year. Singles and doubles are the two versions and the game lends itself perfectly for mixed matches too. If you're debating trying the sport for the first time, then many of the venues will rent out shuttlecocks and rackets. Badminton clubs in the borough offer membership only or pay and play.


Interview Tips | Harjai Computers Pvt. Ltd.
For the long-term unemployed or those employees looking for a change, getting an interview in today's market may feel like a win in itself. But once you're in the door, interviewers often put you through an obstacle course of deceptive questions with double meanings or hidden agendas.
For job-seekers in today's challenging job market, getting in front of an actual live person to interview for a job with a company is a major goal – second only to receiving and accepting an actual job offer! It seems like more and more these days, companies who are interested in a candidate begin their screening process with a phone interview – usually conducted by an internal company recruiter or an HR person.
To land the job, you'll have to appear professional, confident, and capable so does your CV. In most cases a properly drafted CV can land you an interview opportunity against the ones that are poorly drafted.
An ill drafted CV screams to an interviewer that you are not serious about the job you are applying for as you have not taken the effort to prepare you CV in a presentable manner.
Review the Basics: Try to review the basics in your skill sets before going for the interview.
Conduct Research on the Employer, Hiring Manager, Job Opportunity: Success in a job interview starts with a solid foundation of knowledge on the job-seekers part. You should understand the employer, the requirements of the job, and the background of the person (or people) interviewing you. The more research you conduct, the more you'll understand the employer, and the better you'll be able to answer interview questions. Information sources include the organization's website and other published materials, search engines, research tools, and your network of contacts.
Review Common Interview Questions and Prepare Responses: Another key to interview success is preparing responses to expected interview questions. First, inquire as to the type of interview to expect (which you can do by asking your contact person at the organization). Your goal is composing detailed yet concise responses, focusing on specific examples and accomplishments. A good tool for remembering your responses is to put them into story form that you can tell in the interview. No need to memorize responses (in fact, it's best not to), but at least develop talking points.
Dress for Success: Dress that fits the organization and its culture, striving for the most professional appearance you can accomplish. Remember that it's always better to be overdressed than under -- and to wear clothing that fits and is clean and pressed. Keep accessories and jewelry to a minimum. Try not to smoke or eat right before the interview -- and if possible, brush your teeth or use mouthwash.
Arrive on Time for the Interview -- and Prepared for Success: There is no excuse for ever arriving late for an interview -- other than some sort of disaster. Strive to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled interview to complete additional paperwork and allow yourself time to get settled. Arriving a bit early is also a chance to observe the dynamics of the workplace.
The day before the interview, pack up extra copies of your resume or CV and reference list. If you have a portfolio or samples of your work, bring those along too. Finally, remember to pack several pens and a pad of paper to jot notes.
Make Good First Impressions - to Everyone You Encounter: A cardinal rule of interviewing: Be polite and offer warm greetings to everyone you meet -- from parking attendant or receptionist to the hiring manager. Employers often are curious how job applicants treat staff members -- and your job offer could easily be derailed if you're rude or arrogant to any of the staff.
First When it's time for the interview, keep in mind that first impressions -- the ones interviewers make in the first few seconds of greeting you -- can make or break an interview. Make a strong first impression by dressing well, arriving early, and when greeting your interviewer, stand, smile, make eye contact, and offer a firm (neither limp and nor bone-crushing) handshake.
Show you are genuinely interested for the said company.
Never brag / overrate your skill set as defined in the Job description. Stick to whatever you know best.
Don't demand unreasonable hike from your current salary.
Don't hide to HR about your career path if you have done too much leapfrogging in the past companies.
Try to speak slowly Don't speak too fast while explaining the concepts to the interviewer.
Never lose you calm or patience during the discussion.
Try to listen the question carefully & completely before starting to answer.
Be Authentic, Upbeat, Focused, Confident, Candid, and Concise. Once the interview starts, the key to success is the quality and delivery of your responses. Your goal should always be authenticity, responding truthfully to interview questions. At the same time, your goal is to get to the next step, so you'll want to provide focused responses that showcase your skills, experience, and fit -- with the job and the employer. Provide solid examples of solutions and accomplishments -- but keep your responses short and to the point.
Remember Body Language, Avoiding Bad Habits. While the content of your interview responses is paramount, poor body language can be a distraction at best -- or a reason not to hire you at worst.
Be as enthusiastic as possible.
Display positive body language, speaking clearly, smiling frequently and retaining eye-contact.
Effective forms of body language: smiling, eye contact, solid posture, active listening, nodding.
Detrimental forms of body language: slouching, looking off in the distance, playing with pen, fidgeting in chair, brushing back hair, touching face, chewing gum, mumbling.
Ask Insightful Questions. Studies continually show that employers make a judgment about an applicant's interest in the job by whether or not the interviewee asks questions. Thus, even if the hiring manager was thorough in his or her discussions about the job opening and what is expected, you must ask a few questions.
Ask relevant, thought-provoking questions at appropriate moments, as this can show that you're genuinely interested in the role and really listening to the interviewer.
Avoid talking about any personal problems.
Always conduct yourself as if you are determined to get the job. Never close the door on an opportunity.
Thank Interviewer(s) in Person & by Email later.

Drivers are once again having problems at Reading's IKEA store.
BerkshireLive has been contacted by a driver who says it is "gridlock" at the store in Pincents Lane, Calcot .
The store has been plagued by problems with its car park since it opened in 2015.
Drivers have reported getting stuck for as long as three hours on previous occassions.

It looks like the queues have cleared around IKEA this afternoon.
We'll get on to West Berkshire Council and IKEA this week to see what is going to be done about the situation.
IKEA was working to improve traffic issues
When this happened last time, IKEA said it was working with West Berkshire Council to stop this happening again.
We've not heard anything since then over traffic improvement issues.
We'll try to find out if there are any plans in place.
Traffic is starting to move
We've spoken to Kerry again, she says traffic is starting to move.
She said: "We're now on ground level and nearly out of the bar park but we've still got to get up to the roundabout."
The Sainsbury's store closes at 4pm, which means the most of its customers have either left or are leaving now, which should help the situation.
Cars queuing up the ramps
This photo shows the cars queueing up the car park.

Driver stuck for an hour an a half
We've just spoken to driver Kerry Hussey, who is stuck on the top level of the car park.
"We've been here for an hour-and-a-half.
"We've moved about five spaces.
"Apparently, the problem is at Sainsbury's as it's near closing time.
"Everyone's leaving there which means no-one can get out of here."
Problems in the past
This is not the first time this has happened.
In the past it has been down to problems on the main roundabout by Calcot Sainsbury's, which has led to a queue down Pincents Lane itself, which means drivers can't get into IKEA's car park.
We're trying to find out what's happening this afternoon.
This happened after Christmas.

"Absolute chaos"
It looks like similar problems to what we've seen before are developing this afternoon.
Reports of problems in the car park
BerkshireLive has received reports of problems in the car park, from two IKEA customers so far this afternoon.
We're trying to find more information but it appears there is yet another day of long delays for drivers today.

Märtha Louise, Norway's 'angel princess' is divorcing from her novelist husband Ari Behn, the Norwegian Royal Court announced on Friday.
Märtha Louise, the only daughter of Norway's King Harald V and Queen Sonja, said in a press release that the distance between the two had grown to a point that there was no longer a chance of repairing their relationship.
"Life does not always go smoothly. Both Ari and I have experienced this. But that is markedly the case now, when, life has taken some twists and turns that we had never envisaged," wrote in a press release issued by the Royal Court. "Today, we are going our separate ways. We are ending the marriage but we are remaining together in parenthood."
Märtha Louise has long embarrassed Norway's court with her claims to communicate with angels and her business partnership with the controversial healer and spiritualist Elisabeth Nordeng.
When she married novelist Ari Behn in Tronheim's Nidaros Cathedral on 24 May 2002 he was seen as a controversial choice, Norway's state broadcaster NRK recalled on Friday. At the time, he had recently made a television programme showing prostitutes taking cocaine in Los Angeles, after which he refused to answer questions over his own drug use.
But Märtha Louise was adamant that Behn was the man for her. "Here is the man that makes me shine. Here is the man who brings out the best in me. Here is the man who I want to share the rest of my life with," she told the BBC in 2001.
The couple have three daughters, Maud Angelica Behn, born on 29 April 2003, Leah Isadora Behn, born on 8 April 2008, and Emma Tallulah Behn, who was born on 29 September 2008. They have decided on joint custody of their children.
The King and Queen said they were saddened by the news.
"Many people are affected when a marriage dissolves. It's painful and sad for the people around them as well," they said in a joint statement in the press release. "We like Ari very much and we are grateful for everything we have experienced together as a family. We want a good relationship with Ari in the future."
In her statement, Märtha Louise said that she and Behn had struggled for "a long time" to rescue their relationship.
"It's unspeakably sad for the two of us to realise that the road ahead will not be together like it was," she said. "It is terrible to realise that there is nothing more we can do."


CTO at Vox Financial Partners. Vox provides consultancy and software products to help banks manage regulatory change.
Take MiFID II in Europe, for example.
While the rule brought in a set of complex trade reporting requirements, the implementation forced standardization of trade records into a common format understood by banks across the European Union.
Firms also used MiFID as an opportunity to create or upgrade trade data warehouses, breaking down product-aligned silos to provide a central repository of trade data.
The benefits of this are now accruing: Future trade reporting requirements (such as SFTR) can be centralized against such a data warehouse and additional geographies and products brought online to support regulation in other jurisdictions (e.g., MAS 610 in Singapore).
Future regulatory changes -- including initial margin phases four and five, the LIBOR transition and the final stages of QFC outreach -- will require banks to review and refresh an enormous amount of contracts in relatively short timeframes. In the past, such work has usually been manual, requiring armies of temporary workers, creating an expensive and risky contract environment.
But there are three ways in which forward-thinking firms can benefit from these enforced contract changes to innovate their contract management approach: standardization, automation and digitization.
Standardization is an easy starting point. Most firms already work from a clause library -- an approved set of legal clauses for use in standard contracts. Many firms pair this with a playbook of rules describing which variants can be used when. (For example, there may be a default position for termination rights and then acceptable fall-back positions that don't need lawyers to approve.) When repapering large numbers of contracts to satisfy these new rules, smart firms can kill two birds with one stone by using the exercise to standardize older contracts with the firm's most recent playbook. This removes the inherent risks of contracts with non-standard language.
The second approach, automation, aims to make it easier to create and manage contracts. To automate the repapering process, a lawyer would first create a master template for a standard contract (e.g., an ISDA collateral schedule with initial margin changes) with fill-in-the-blanks gaps identifying data points that vary on each contract (such as client details).
Then, a software tool would take that template and merge it with client-specific data to create hundreds of contracts in one fell swoop, with varying terms depending on the details of the client. Any sufficiently advanced automation tool would include workflow to support QA review, distribution to the client, negotiation of terms and execution of the final agreement.
Expediting digitization is where things get interesting -- and where smart firms can take a quantum leap forward.
When it comes to contracts, we define "digitization" as bringing key elements of a contract out of the document and into an enterprise data warehouse.
In making contract data digitally accessible in this way, firms are able to tap into valuable data points that until now have needed manual work to extract data from files. This is a hugely beneficial exercise that firms are only beginning to appreciate. Currently, there are two approaches to digitizing documents: artificial intelligence (AI) and automation-meets-digitization.
Using AI, machine learning tools are taught the typical structure of standard banking contracts -- a process that involves a software program reading hundreds of existing documents while a human tells it the location and meaning of common data elements. The machine uses this knowledge to extract those elements from other similar contracts. Depending on the quality of the training, the machine will be more or less accurate at identifying targeted data from contracts it reads.
There are drawbacks to this approach. The first is that the machine is only as good as the dataset it learns from. If that set is too small, or too diverse, the algorithm may not provide good answers. In the legal domain, 100% accuracy is essential: If the machine can't be trusted completely, it will still require manual checking, negating the main benefit.
For these systems to be effective, companies need to hire experts to train them, meaning only specialized workers can lead the contract digitization process. New forms of contracts need new training, so it's not just a one-shot deal, either.
Finally, this approach is useful at extracting data from an existing contract population, but it can't assist with go-forward negotiations: if a contract needs to change, this still relies on another process or tool to create a new contract or amend an existing one. Given the volume of contract changes required in the next years -- and probably beyond that -- this limits the value of these tools.
An alternative approach to digitization is to pair it with automation. Using this method, a lawyer would create the master template for a contract and would also mark which key terms should be captured (and digitized) during contract construction.
Then, when contracts are created from these templates, the data elements for each contract are preserved as machine-readable metadata in a database representation of that contract. This contract data can then be provided in reports or made available via an application programming interface (API) to other systems in the firm.
This approach combines the benefits of automation and digitization -- and if the template is built using a clause library, it brings standardization, too.
Whether using machine learning or an automation tool, digitizing contracts allows firms to unlock extra value from their contract documents, creating a data warehouse of contract terms that are available to the enterprise to support faster, more accurate decision making.
So, instead of treating the forthcoming repapering exercises as a burden, banks can use the opportunity to standardize, automate and digitize their contract management processes, saving time and resources while extracting key data that can be used for all sorts of purposes across the firm.

I have a server style motherboard so it has many slots on it, 8 in total. 1 AGP, 1 PCI-X, 1 EISA, and 5 PCI slots. I have some cards like network cards, maybe a RAID card, and a firewire / usb 2.0 card that would be installed in the PCI slots (PCI-X for the RAID). I thought I heard somewhere that having many PCI slots filled reduced performance, so I am verifying this with you guys. Would having more cards installed reduce system performance?
Most likley as the PCI slots share the 133MHz or whatever it is the more "stuff" you have on the bus the higher the posability of slowing down your computer. I find it a little less so in server style motherboards but thats just me. Dont know if that applies in all cases or not.
The PCI-X slot should auto-negotiate the bus speed of the PCI-X bus. I don't know if the PCI-X slot is the only link to the PCI-X bus, or if it's got something on-board like a SCSI controller or NIC hooked up to the bus as well.
The PCI bus and the PCI slots themselves won't change speeds as they only run at 33MHz. Same with the AGP.
I thought I heard somewhere that having many PCI slots filled reduced performance, so I am verifying this with you guys. Would having more cards installed reduce system performance?
In most cases yes you will suffer reduced performance as the PCI bus is restricted to 133MB p/s bandwidth and once you exceed this then the hardware running on it will have to take turns at using the bus and also remember that your IDE and USB controllers are already connected to the PCI bus plus the PCI bus is also used for communication duties between the north and south bridges of your mainboard (also if the PCI-X bus runs off the south bridge then that will also add more to the congestion).

This poem started because my husband insisted on listening to a Disturbed album while on our way to pick up our son from daycare. Disturbed's lyrics are so hard, yet they have such a message that I couldn't help but be caught up in them. It doesn't seem to matter how long it's been since I've listened to the album, but I always seem to identify with the darkness surrounding their songs. The fact that the band members write the songs, as opposed to the old boy band way of doing things, make the songs that much more meaningful. I can't help it that I get caught up in the darkness and pain of the music. The music fills my head with images and visions, and that is how this poem came to be on paper.
blanketing the earth in destruction.
away any hint of humanity.
creating for itself a new identity.
And the world welcomes the darkness.

Opinion: Henry Koren: Beware of false environmentalism in Boulder
By Daily Camera guest opinion | openforum@dailycamera.com | Boulder Daily Camera
October 11, 2019 at 5:05 p.m.
By Henry Koren
Let's consider Boulder's city council candidates and how they feel about growth. The candidates' positions fall on a spectrum of wanting intelligent growth, not wanting growth and some who would like to shrink Boulder, eliminate jobs, and preserve the town for the privileged elites who've made it here. Anti-density politicians who claim to care about the environment are the most hypocritical drivers of city policy.
In the decade I've lived in Boulder, my small business has grown to 20 people. Not all of us can afford to live where we work. There are some who consider my business to be part of the problem. But being lucky enough to live in Boulder has transformed my preferences, from tolerating being stuck in my car for hours a day to finding the benefits of choosing to ride my bike rather than drive. Many of my currently commuting co-workers would like to be able to live like this.
Environmentally-conscientious business owners in Boulder should consider the climate consequences of their hiring decisions. If you hire someone to work in this town, then there needs to be a comprehensive plan to house and transport that person in a way that is not harmful to the environment and not harmful to their physical and mental health.
For residents who do care about the environment and prioritize it above preserving "neighborhood character," it's time to realize that there is an imbalance between our community's demand for workers and the ability to house those workers. The Frontier Group's "Growing Greener" report has clearly described the problems we face and how they can be addressed. The alternative to this, eliminating jobs within the city, won't stop them from existing; it will simply push them out into the plains where they will likely have less sustainable existences.
For residents who don't care about the environment, there are selfish reasons to want more neighbors. People who have the chance to spend less time behind the wheel and more time on a bike will be happier and healthier, they will be more productive, will provide better services and will ultimately be better for our quality of life as well as the bottom line.
For those who care about unobstructed views of the Flatirons, we've seen how localized air pollution has really messed that up lately. Boulder's housing imbalance enables sprawl and 60,000-plus single-occupancy vehicles that obscure the views. Pressuring businesses and jobs out of town will not solve this, it will only increase the total emissions of particulate matter, will be detrimental to the climate, and may still drift its way over into our lovely little basin.
Simply supporting municipalization of the electric utility and preservation of open space should not qualify one as an environmentalist. Let's not allow this charade to go unchallenged. Exclusionary zoning directly contributes to sprawl and pollution. It cannot be denied any further.
Beware the hypocrisy of false environmentalism. For an example of that hypocrisy, see the recent declaration of the climate emergency and the Climate Mobilization Action Plan, which sets ambitious targets for 2050 but does little in the way of action and almost entirely ignores transportation emissions. As if charging our Teslas with solar panels will save the planet. Please. If this is our idea of action, we need new voices in leadership.
Those among us who truly want to make Boulder a more sustainable community face a battle in the election that culminates Nov. 5. Many incumbents and candidates are satisfied with the status quo, particularly those endorsed by PLAN-Boulder County and Together4Boulder. They claim to support responsible growth but are really opposed to growth. They blather on about supposedly supporting low and middle-income housing, but their policies have no answers for the serious problems our city and our planet face.
Imagine a flourishing Boulder with more housing and bikes and fewer commuters. Whether it's Alpine-Balsam, Diagonal Plaza or a number of other underutilized parts of our city, imagine these currently blighted and abandoned locations could be transformed into vibrant areas that could provide the foundation of a more sustainable Boulder. We know that this is possible without creating vehicular gridlock.
We will need to elect candidates who can evolve our city policy and do what it will take to address the local housing and global climate crises. I urge you to consider voting for Boulder Progressives' set of candidates for City Council.

leaflets are narrower and there are more of them per compound leaf.
Thanks rainbowgardener, and everyone else! I think it's a match for staghorn sumac.
Wikipedia basically says it grows quite aggressively, both by seeds and rhizomes. (That explains why it's growing everywhere.) The flower/fruit is in a big clump which is probably why I never noticed it. (I mentioned that I'm lazy and not very observant .) The fruit also has a lot of practical purposes, so I think someone in the neighborhood must be purposely growing it, and it wandered into my yard.
Well, it's annoying but not poisonous. Guess I'll just have to keep pulling them.
i don't mean to rain on anyone's identification parade, but I'm not buying sumac in general, or staghorn specifically. the stem in the original picture is much too thin, even for a young seedling.
the original pic also seemed (and the newer ones seem to back it up) to be bipinnate, not pinnate, as sumac is.
still don't have an answer, but that ain't sumac. chinaberry is at least bipinnate.
The more I looked at it, (chinaberry) the less the leaves looked correct.
They are bipinnate, but the leaflets aren't as serrated as I thought, which leads me to think it isn't Chinaberry.
Still working on it! Appreciate the challenge!!!
Oh! I think I have it!
Those 3 pictures are exactly what they look like. Golden Rain Tree, from Australia!
Thanks Lindsaylew82 for finally indentifying the weed. You are very resourceful! And thanks Potatoes for raining on the premature parade. Good catch!
The goldenraintree lends grace and charm to the landscape throughout the entire year—rare yellow tree blossoms in the late spring and summer, graceful paper lanterns dangling from the branches in autumn and winter. But this tree is more than just looks. Goldenraintrees are hardy, thriving in the tough urban environment and an astonishingly wide range of soil conditions.
The combination of beauty and durability makes for an enchanting sight near patios, in parks, in street rights-of-way and in planters.

'Gutterbug' is a Hard-Hitting Tale of Misguided Youth and the Counterculture that Embraces It
by Christopher Hantman August 11, 2020
written by Christopher Hantman August 11, 2020

Gutterbug is the feature film debut of numerous folks, from director Andrew Gibson, who co-wrote the film with Chris Tobin, to the stellar supporting cast Justin Pietropaolo (Slim) and Hannah Mosqueda (Jenny). The film follows a crust punk named Bug, played perfectly by Andrew Yackel, one of the few actors on the bill with more than one feature film to his resume; Bug grapples with the realities of homelessness, mental health, drug use, and toxic friendships as he embarks on his journey to find his way back home. While Bug himself is the protagonist, the true main character of this film is the punk and drug countercultures that are ubiquitous throughout the film from the stellar set and costume design to the dynamic and powerful soundtrack.
The Gritty City
Allston is a suburb outside of Boston that has been integral to the Massachusetts music scene for as long as local punks can remember. Even I, as someone who grew up in a suburb south of Boston, was influenced by the Allston music scene growing up. Everything about this film felt real and grounded, which is what makes the tragic events that unfold that much more harrowing. From real Allston bands being featured in a legendary DIY basement venue like the black lodge. Filmmakers set up makeshift shows for shooting and just invited their friends to fill the crowds, capturing the authenticity and life contained within.
The Crust Punks
Yackel's portrayal of Bug is phenomenal, tweaking his mannerisms and voice perfectly to mirror the drug or trauma that he is currently experiencing; From being resuscitated to begging for change on the streets, he perfectly portrays the struggle that Bug and other street-punk kids go through.
Bug is joined by fellow crust punks Slim and Jenny as well as their dope-dealer, rich-boy Raleigh as they coast through existence on the streets. Raleigh's fascination with death and the way in which he seems to coast through life is a direct juxtaposition of Bug's and the kids whom his dealing takes advantage of. The crust punks stumble upon and through the lives (and deaths) of others like them — touching on the impact of untreated mental health issues and addiction. Slim's abrasiveness and laissez-faire attitude toward the dead juxtaposes harshly with Bug's desire to "off himself". Slim is reckless and seems to keep Bug moving forward — while not always in the best of directions. Jenny is the moral compass of the group, just looking to find herself amongst the noise — when she and Bug are together it is clear he is at his happiest, but the stability of this mood is inconsistent as he propels himself into life on the streets.
Writing and Directing
Gibson got his start filming music videos and it shows throughout the film. Beautiful shots of the city accompanied by poetic narrations juxtapose the grime of a crust-punk lifestyle and soundtrack. The movie starts with a gut-wrenching bang as the viewer is immediately thrust into the aftermath of a head-on collision. The film doesn't let up as it tells the story through the lens of reverse chronology, slowly bringing the parts together to paint a full picture of the events and actions that lead to the struggles of the current day.
The writing feels natural, with character and setting development, unwinding as the film progresses. Although, the story contains a major Deus Ex Machina moment that some may view as a welcome relief from the onslaught of previous events. This is the only part of the story that didn't feel real; the only time that the writing stepped out of the gritty streets and spoke through the lens of movie magic. Overall, this isn't enough to detract from the hard-hitting homerun that preceded it, and Gutterbug still ends strongly.
The Sound of a Counter Culture
Wow, this soundtrack SLAPS. Primarily featuring bands from the Allston area, with a few gems sprinkled in. The music and culture is authentic, and that is so important to the writing and atmosphere that the film creates. The influence of SLC Punk meets Trainspotting can be felt throughout the soundtrack that drives the exposition. We even went and made a Spotify playlist of the songs (except for two that we couldn't find!)
Here is the tracklist — distribution companies, please pick this up and press it on Vinyl!
Guerilla Toss – "367 Equalizer"
Pink Suds – "Wag My Tail" (Not on Spotify)
Black Beach – "Shallow Creatures"
Nice Guys – "Pissin' Dirty"
Sarah Greenwell – "Royal Jelly" (Not on Spotify)
Nice Guys – "Gutterbug"
Modest Mouse – "Broke"
Black Beach – "Youth is Out There"
Beeef – "Dogshit Paradise"
Datenight US- "On TV"
Final Takeaway
Gutterbug is an impressive debut effort that will sit with the viewer long after the credits roll. A cliché or two aside, the writing and filmmaking feel authentic, inspired, and powerful. The acting, and everything else, is phenomenally done. Do not sleep on one of the top films of the year, and what is sure to develop a cult following.

The Beauty and the Beast logo
Anthony Hernandez, Staff writer
Cottonwood High School's performing arts department performed a play called Beauty and the Beast. The whole play is just like the animation, but in live-action. The play took place in the auditorium here at Cottonwood. It ran from November 30th to December 4th between 7-9:30 pm. It was a lively performance that included the school's orchestra.
The leading roles in the play involved Sophia Morrill playing as Belle, Jared Evans playing as the beast and Carter Wagstaff playing as Gaston. Their acting skills were over the top amazing. They included lots of singing and dancing and there were great performances by the extras. According to Sophomore Jenessa Whitney, who played a villager, "We spent hours and days on the play. We would even go to rehearsals on Saturdays. And probably the most hard part in my role was Gaston because there was so much going on. The same with Be our Guest. Both had very hard work put into them. We would go over Gaston a couple of times if we couldn't get it right."
The drama department worked really hard on this play. The props were handmade, and took a long time to create. They had lot of rehearsals everyday to make this play perfect,entertaining, and funny for the audience. But overall, the costumes were very impressive because they looked like they were made by professionals, yet they were handmade by the performing arts department. Students worked on this play from August to November everyday because that's how dedicated everybody is. The artwork was spectacular. The performances had so much humor because the actors were so skillful. When Carter Wagstaff fell off the stage it made the whole audience laugh. Above all, it was ongoing entertainment throughout the whole play – which was quite fun.
The performing arts did an excellent job on the play. They did really well on the setting including how the costumes and props were made. The orchestra was wonderful while playing the music. The stage crew did amazing work and got everything just right like the lights, smoke, and sound system. The actors and actresses worked hard and it really payed off. Overall, everyone did their parts and put in a lot of work to entertain, and they made the audience laugh.

totally psyched to have received a paper copy from them. Thank you!
(Received from @HMHkids Twitter sign ups event) Thank you HMH!
Fair Coin sounds really interesting – the idea of doppelgangers has always fascinated me. For some reason, there doesn't seem to be a lot of YA books that feature them :( Overall, looks like you got some great books!
I want to read Loss..lovely haul.
I'm reading Grave Mercy right now and it is pretty good. Really different. I keep seeing Fair Coin around but I have no clue what it is about. Happy reading!
Hi there, these titles are fairly new to me, but the book covers all look fascinating. Lightbringer, in particular, caught my eye. Have fun with your new reads!
Grave Mercy is amazing! I hope you love it as much as I did!
I really enjoyed Grave Mercy. I've heard Siege is good. Definitely looking forward to your reviews. Happy reading!
Yesterday, Grave Mercy and Loss…you're so lucky. Hope they're all as good as they sound. Enjoy!
These books are so great! Fair Coin and Lightbringer sound amazing.
Great set! So cool that you got Grave Mercy. I really want to read it.

State Patrol post marks its 10th year with re-dedication
It was hard for Bill Hitchens and many others to believe the Georgia State Patrol post in Rincon is now 10 years old. It was even harder for Hitchens to believe that it came to be in Rincon at all.
Hitchens, his son, GSP Capt. Billy Hitchens, state Rep. Ann Purcell, state Sen. Jack Hill and others gathered at Post 42 Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of the post and re-dedicate it.
"It was great for me to bring it to our home community," he said. "It's a great facility."
Hitchens, an Effingham County native and former commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety, recalled when he was told the GSP post on Dean Forest Road was going to be moved.
"Back about 11 and a half years ago, I got a call from someone in Atlanta," he said. "The post on Dean Forest Road was going to be moved. It's ironic for me because I worked out there for 20 years and I live three miles down the road and I drove 22 miles a day to work."
Purcell told Hitchens they could get the post to Effingham County. After he retired from the State Patrol, the opportunity presented itself. Purcell, in her first stint in the state House, and Hitchens got Hill involved.
"Ann was the catalyst for this," Hitchens said.
There's only one post in the state built with state money, he said, and that's the one on Jekyll Island.
"Ann Purcell said she thought she could get some funding for this one and I assured her that would never happen," Hitchens said.
"About three months later, I was reading the paper one morning and I saw where $500,000 was appropriated for a state patrol facility in Effingham County. Ann called and said, 'I told you so.'"
Bringing the post to Effingham was a team effort, Purcell noted, including the efforts of the county commissioners.
"The county is part of the team in having the success here at this post," she said. "Everyone plays a part here."
The post also is home to a branch of the Department of Driver Services, which issues driver's licenses, among other responsibilities.
"I want to thank the community for supporting our function here in the facility," said DDS Commissioner Gregory Dozier, "which is to serve 2,700 to 3,200 people a month who come into Driver Services to protect their identities and to get their credentials to drive. It's the first thing they have to do when they come to a community and relocate.
"Our values could not be shown if we didn't have somewhere to show it. To show what we really think of our customers in this state."
Capt. Hitchens, also an Effingham County native and Effingham County High School graduate, said if it wasn't for Purcell, he wouldn't have been there Sunday. Capt. Hitchens is commander of Troop I, which is made up of posts in Brunswick, Hinesville, Jekyll Island, Waycross and Rincon.
"I wasn't assigned here," he said, "but I grew up here. I think we have more of a community involvement with the post being here. That's what we strive to do."
The younger Hitchens also joked he remembered riding in his father's GSP car, "back before they banned kids from riding in patrol cars with their parents." His father remembers picking his son up after he had broken an arm or a leg, and his son slumped down in the seat "because he didn't want to be seen."
The younger Hitchens was an accounting major and got an education degree, surprising his dad when he opted for a career in the Georgia State Patrol.
The State Patrol's mission is to help serve the local sheriff's and police departments, Capt. Hitchens said. Troopers perform such duties as seat belt enforcement and the GSP's Nighthawks target drivers suspected of driving under the influence.
"We try to do those things that make the county proud of us," he said.
Said Col. Hitchens: "I've always said it's a symbiotic relationship. The counties fund the patrol posts. The state derives no benefit from the fines and forfeitures. It keeps us out of the money business."
Sgt. 1st Class Bruce DeLoach, the post commander and son of a law enforcement officer, has been leading Post 42 since this summer. There are 10 state troopers assigned to the post, which covers Bryan, Chatham and Effingham counties.
DeLoach thanked Effingham Sheriff Jimmy McDuffie and Chief Deputy Richard Bush for helping him "tremendously" since his arrival.
He also expressed his gratitude for Purcell's assistance.
"She came in one day and flipped her calendar open and gave me dates for all the events that take place in Effingham County," he said, "and I went to filling them out."
Col. Hitchens said it may look like from the road that the post is empty, but that's not the case. The State Patrol has had to endure budget cuts and several posts are understaffed. The radio dispatchers have been relocated to Brunswick.
The GSP used that as a chance to create a computerized dispatch system, he said.
"We've had to do some things with state money," said Hitchens, who assists the state Department of Public Safety as a consultant.
"We took a $25 million cut to our budget a couple of years ago. It's unfortunate we don't have the number of people we had here at one time."

Mystic River (2003)
Bil's rating (out of 5): BBB. USA/Australia, 2003. Warner Bros., Village Roadshow Pictures, NPV Entertainment, Malpaso Productions. Screenplay by Brian Helgeland, based on the novel by Dennis Lehane. Cinematography by Tom Stern. Produced by Clint Eastwood, Judie Hoyt, Robert Lorenz. Music by Clint Eastwood. Production Design by Henry Bumstead. Costume Design by Deborah Hopper. Film Editing by Joel Cox. Academy Awards 2003. Cannes Film Festival 2003. Golden Globe Awards 2003.
Two kids watch their friend get kidnapped and come back a completely changed person after two years, then thirty years later are struck by another tragedy that is loosely tied to their traumatic experience. The audience is given what seems like the whole story when Sean Penn's teenage daughter gets murdered the same night that the childhood kidnap victim (Tim Robbins) comes home covered in blood and tells his anxious wife (Marcia Gay Harden) that he was attacked by a mugger who he then beat senseless and left for dead. Enter third friend Kevin Bacon, now a homicide detective, to investigate the girl's murder while re-experiencing the painful memories of his youth. This Clint Eastwood-directed mystery is his most complex and atmospheric in years, featuring equally brilliant acting from the entire cast and some very powerful moments both touching and suspenseful. The eventual outcome, however, is a bit too blunt and the film wears too many of its emotional themes on its sleeve. With such an obvious ending, the film is satisfying but not in any way overwhelming enough to be memorable five minutes after it is over.

"The Indian software and services export is estimated at Rs 78,230 crore ($17.2 billion) in 2004-05, as compared to Rs 58,240 crore ($12.8 billion) in 2003-04, an increase of 34 percent."
By 2015, Forrester Research estimates that as many as 3.3 million U.S. jobs and $136 billion in wages could be moved to such countries as India, China, and Russia.
Meta Group predicts that offshore outsourcing will grow by more than 20% annually, pushing it from a $7 billion market in 2003 to a $10 billion market in 2005. The group also foresees all application outsourcing services, including the offshore component, reaching $15 billion by 2007.
The vast majority of respondents are either "somewhat satisfied" (49.2%) or "very satisfied" (39.7%) with their outsourcing partner's performance. Only 1.6% reported being "very dissatisfied".
Nearly one in five companies in Western Europe is thinking about offshoring activities to a foreign country in the next two years, according to a study by British real estate group Cushman and Wakefield. The survey revealed that 15% or respondents were considering offshoring their call center operations. Among the regions considered were Eastern Europe, other western European countries, China, India, Latin America and South Africa.
Indian revenues from call centers have grown an estimated 107% over the past year. Indian call centers employ over 120,000 people today.
Labor costs for setting up a call center in the U.S. works out to $57,600 a year, compared to $8,640 a year for setting up a similar facility in India.
"To get high-quality service levels from top-tier vendors, customers should expect to pay in the $24 to $30 per hour range for offshore labor..."
Industry experts predict that by 2015, offshoring by the US companies would represent $135 billion in wages and 3.3 million professional jobs.
Incorporation of Quality Standards like globally recognized SEI-CMM, P-CMM Levels and ISO 9000 Certification by Indian IT companies to ensure quality services for their customers. As on 31 st March 2002, India had 42 companies at SEI CMM Level 5 assessment and 316 companies who have already acquired quality certifications worldwide.
According to India Infoline, the ITES-BPO segment recorded a growth of 59% in the year 2002 and touched US $2.3 billion in the year 2003.
According to Gartner, a market research firm, the size of the global BPO market by 2007 would be $173bn, of which $24.23bn would be outsourced to offshore contractors. Of this, India has the potential to generate $13.8bn in revenue.
North America will remain the dominant market for ITES-BPO services, accounting for nearly 60 percent of the total ITES-BPO market in 2006. The Western Europe ITES-BPO market is expected to account for 22 percent of the market by 2006. The Asia Pacific ITES-BPO market is expected to account for 18 percent of the total ITESBPO market in 2006.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - The seventh-ranked Bruins pounded out 12 runs and nine hits, as junior GiOnna DiSalvatore and sophomore Andrea Harrison each had two-hit contests in a 12-0, five-inning victory over Oregon State on Friday at the OSU Softball Complex.
The Bruins improve to 28-9 overall and 2-5 in Pac-10 play, while the Beavers fall to 21-19 and 2-5 in league action.
Celebrating her 21st birthday, junior Donna Kerr improved to 14-5 on the season, allowing one hit and two walks in three innings with one strikeout. Senior Megan Langenfeld tossed a pair of 1-2-3 innings in the fourth and fifth.
DiSalvatore drove in three, while freshman Charlotte Dolan had two RBI, as seven different Bruins had hits. Senior Julie Burney homered and scored three runs and Langenfeld also crossed home plate twice.
The Bruins jumped all over the Beavers with six runs in the first. With one out, junior Monica Harrison walked and scored on a double to right-center by Andrea Harrison to make it 1-0. After sophomore Dani Yudin walked and Burney was hit to load the bases, Langenfeld was also plunked to plate Andrea Harrison for UCLA's second run. A bases-loaded walk to sophomore Samantha Camuso scored Yudin to make it 3-0 and Dolan followed with a single to right-center to bring in Burney to up the lead to 4-0. Freshman B.B. Bates knocked home UCLA's fifth run on a sacrifice fly to left to score Langenfeld and the Bruins made it 6-0 when DiSalvatore doubled down the right-field line to score Camuso.
UCLA tacked on five more in the second. Yudin led off with a single to right-center and was pinch-run for by junior Grace Murray, who moved to second on a walk to Burney. After a free pass to Langenfeld loaded the bases, senior Kaila Shull singled to right to bring home Murray to make it 7-0. The score became 8-0 when Dolan drew a bases-loaded walk to score Burney. One out later, DiSalvatore singled to right to plate Langenfeld and Shull to increase the margin to 10-0. Monica Harrison followed with a sacrifice fly to center to score Bates for the Bruins' 11th run.
Oregon State had its only rally in the bottom of the second following a leadoff walk to Mary Claire Brenner and a single to left by Ally Kutz. But Kerr retired the Beavers on three straight fly outs to end the inning.
In the third, Burney belted her team-leading 10th home run of the season to left with one out to make it 12-0.
UCLA pitching retired the last 12 batters of the game, as Kerr set down the final six she faced and Langenfeld went 1-2-3 in the fourth and fifth.
The Bruins continue their three-game series on Saturday at 12 p.m. Gametracker and live audio will be available on UCLABruins.com.


If you're gonna have someone remix a classic like "No UFOs," it better be someone like, say, Kenny Dixon Jr. Moodymann shines and is one of very few artists that could make people even give a few minutes to listen to a new interpretation of the Model 500 classic "No UFO's," reissued in November by Juan Atkins' Metroplex. "Altered States" is possibly the only record in the electronic music universe to have this kind of impact on an artist's career at his or her debut: like Ron Trent's classic, "No UFO's" set a template for Atkins' career, with all of the blessings and baggage that comes with that.
This reissue includes the vocal and instrumental versions, a grooving remix by Luciano and Moodymann's scintillating Metroplex debut. Powered by the rubbery bassline of the original, Moodymann creates a kind of melodic proto-house opus: stare too long or listen too many times on a loop and you can get lost in the cascade of wobbly synths, fragmented vocals and pieces of percussion like shards of broken glass.
Note: the reissue features a double sided 12″ an an additional 1 sided 12″.

Striking Photo of Football Fans Wearing Masks During a Game at Georgia Tech in Atlanta Due to the 1918 Pandemic
May 26, 2020 1910s, Atlanta, event & history, Georgia, health care, medical, people, sports
A century ago, college sports in the United States was hit hard by the Spanish flu pandemic. Games were canceled and some schools were forced to call off their seasons.
And this vintage image below is striking: Fans watching a college football game in the midst of a pandemic, wearing masks with a smidge of social distance between them on row after row of bleacher seats.

While times are unique, it's not the first time sports has been affected by a pandemic. "The virus is on a similar time track," said Andy McNeil, a Georgia Tech graduate and mechanical engineer. "History does repeat itself."
McNeil has had the image in his office for years. A note on the back of the picture reads "Georgia Tech during 1918 pandemic." McNeil's great-grandfather, Thomas Carter, took the picture.
McNeil first found the images as a child. When he rediscovered them later, he had the originals blown up so he could frame them. It's been a talking point for years as people inquired about the pictures. An era that once seemed unimaginable, now a reality.
"When the coronavirus started, I was like, 'Wow, I had a family member who lived through this'."
McNeil's great-grandfather, Carter, loved adventure. Hoping to learn more about the Flu Pandemic in 1918, McNeil listened to old tapes his family had produced. In them, were interviews with Carter.
He was smart – graduating from Georgia Tech. But also daring. He would cling onto the back of cars traveling through downtown Atlanta. He built a boat and smuggled libations into the country during the prohibition. Perhaps attending a football game during a pandemic was seen just as daring.
"People understood the ramifications of the Spanish Flu at that time," McNeil said. "Would he be alive if he didn't wear a mask? Who knows."
During the deadly second wave of the 1918 pandemic, Georgia Tech still managed to play seven games, six at home and one on the road that was rescheduled for Pitt. It was the only game that was modified because of the pandemic. The team, led by John Heisman, played games in front of fans.
In 1918, Georgia Tech played almost a complete football schedule during the Spanish Flu outbreak that killed more than 675,000 in the US. (Photo by Thomas Carter, via Georgia Tech Alumni)
Society has come so far in some ways. The world is currently rushing to produce a vaccine for COVID-19, yet the image of a football game in 1918 mirrors what life looks like today, with many people donning face coverings.
"It's a dose of reality," McNeil said. "Before coronavirus, I couldn't imagine being at Georgia Tech with a mask on. A pandemic never crossed my mind. It's a reality that history repeats itself, and we can get through it, but we have to do the right thing."
McNeil doesn't claim to be an expert. But he's frustrated when he sees people not wearing face coverings, which is recommended by the CDC. Perhaps if everyone did, the pandemic would end sooner. Consequent waves would wane. And sports could return sooner than later.
"My great-grandfather lived a full life, he made it through," McNeil said. "Hopefully that inspires people that everything will be okay, eventually."

The situation is same as now 2020, pandemic covid 19 is causing the world to stand still. All the works of world is stopped. People needs to wear high quality disposable mask to guard themselves from the direct exposure.
