ENI's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Overall, we've added one 1.1 billion BOE of resource in 2011 building on our excellent track record in exploration over the past four years. We've also made good progress on our key project for medium term growth signing the GSAs and taking final investment decisions for Perla in Venezuela as one of our FID in the Yamal Peninsula in Russia.
We're pleased with the technically commercial progress on these developments which alongside would be yet other FIDs will contribute one other for 2,000 BOE a day our new production by 2015.
Another highlight of ENI's performance in 2011 was the quick operational recovery in Libya. While the turmoil in our largest producing country affected both volumes and results last year, our consolidated local relationships and experience have to contain the impact of the crisis. We were the only IOC to maintain some level of production in Libya during the revolution with local employees continuing to work at ____00:2;47___ and get production for domestic power generation exempt from international sanctions. And since the liberation of ______ in September, we've restarted all of our fields and reopened the GreenStream ramping up production faster than even we had anticipated.
Today, we're almost back to pre-crisis level and expect 2012 production from Libya of around 130,000 to 140,000 BOE per day compared to their 110,000 BOE per day reported for the full year 2011 and to 173,000 BOE per day in 2010.
Let's now turn to gas and power and then in petrochemicals. Follow all these businesses the market context in 2011 was difficult and we still a deterioration in the fourth quarter of the year as the sovereign debt crisis started to affect the European and particularly the Italian economy. This crisis spread across all our Italian businesses, in gas and power demand was down 11% in the quarter also due to mild weather. In R&M consumption of refined products declined by 5.5% in the quarter and for petrochemicals the second part of the year was the worst in the last 10 years.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Very comfortable apartments with all of the necessary stuff, clean, several min walking to Opera, 2 big stores around. Very friendly and helpful owner. Thanks!
The location (only 10 min walk to the city center) and the public transportation very near (subway, tram, buses). High cleanliness. Very good organization. Excellent treatment of staff. I was like at home. excellent quality / price. highly recommended.
I had to ask for an impromtu extension of my stay. The owner was very cooperative and the extension was granted over the phone.
Convenient location & all as expected. No staff on the premises but the young woman who gave us the keys was very friendly & helpful.
The person who changed our towels did not empty the trash or even leave a trash bag so we could do it ourselves!
Was fairly close to most things to see in vienna. Was a good value.
Of all the apartment rooms we have stayed in this was the smallest. Reminded me more of most hotel rooms. The kitchen also was not equipped with a microwave. During our visit the Internet died for about 12 hours before coming back.
Good location, very close to Staatsopera and other sightseeing places, 5 min. walk to Karlsplatz metro station. Quiet.
It would be nice, if the room had more lights and microwave.
Andrea was really helpful Location Nearby metro and supermarket Nearby museums and other activities All facilities needed
The bed was too soft for my liking
Excellent location allows to reach absolutely all important and interesting spots of Vienna by foot. Supermarket is 100 meters only. Well equipped kitchen and convenient bath room . Apartment is very warm with normal heating equipment , but not only with air conditioning which in use in many European countries. Hot water also starts immediately without the need to turn on a gas boiler and wait while water becomes hot. We are very grateful to Andreas (manger of apartment ). All his explanations and instructions were very useful and allowed to save time during our visit. It was impression that we met old friend and he was waiting just for us.
Very clean'n'convenient appartment. Excellent price/location ratio! (Tram station at the corner of the street, U1 line is in five minutes walk, Staatsopera is in10 minutes, etc.). The householder, herr Hoferer, is very friendly, helpful and, generally speaking, worthy man.
nice location
smell of oil in the room and lack of bath
Helpful staff, perfect location, quiet, value for money
Location and apartment were excellent. Supermarket at end of road, close to lots of sights, close to transport -great Spanish Restaurant close by - would stay again
Bathroom and kitchen a bit tired looking - could do with a bit of tlc. Bed was brilliant but let down by awful pillows
the location and the stuff
a little oven or a microwave would be not bad
Good location, friendly staff.
The beds were way too soft. Had already the first day a terrible lumbago.
Location, Comfort Quiet Staff helpful at all times.
Nothing significant
Great personal support from the owner, fast internet
Good location Friendly staf price/location very very good fare
We did not get what we ordered, the pictures were clearly showing that it is an appartament with 2 separated room and we had a appartament with 1 room. They charged us 25 euros for cleaning but the only thing that they have done is to change the towels which is completely unacceptable!!!
A geat place to stay if you're just looking for space and don't need concierge service. Like a temporary home away from home.
Can be a little tricky to find the first time, just keep an eye for the address numbers on the street.
The location is excellent close to public transport and major sights. Friendly efficient and personal reception after hours as agreed with the owner. Close to restaurants and supermarket.
Street below is a bit noisy at times.
The apartment was very easy to reach from the airport for 4.2 euros and took about 45 minutes. Easy to contact Andreas who was at the apartment ready to show us around. The location is in an excellent location for all the city sights and just a 7 minute walk to Karlsplatz U bahn. Highly recommended.
I liked the location as it was next to TU but also near some very good restaurants. Good metro access also. The flat was nice.
The quoted price on booking.com differed from what the actual price. I would have liked more towels and a proper wash cloth.
Perfect localisation Comfortable room
Need daily cleaning No breakfast Extra 25 € for final cleaning
+ Great location as it is very close to the city centre. + The owner had been very kind and helpful. + The apartment was cosy and well-equiped...felt very much like home!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hawerchuk praises city where he 'grew up'
Can't see why players wouldn't love it here
He's not from Winnipeg, but became a man here. And so, yes, Dale Hawerchuk knows all about playing in a hockey-mad Canadian market.
The former Jet and hockey hall of famer would also add this -- especially as this town again gets labelled as a small-market outpost in the wake of the latest Evander Kane trade rumours -- with time it's a place that can really grow on a player.
"There were a few guys that would come in and never gave it a chance," said Hawerchuk, the Barrie Colts head coach who is in Winnipeg helping with the Jets' Development Camp. "And it's like, 'too bad for you.' But there was a time when a lot of guys stayed here year round. That landscape's changed a bit, but it doesn't mean it won't change as the team gets its roots going here again. Obviously, as an organization, you do your best to get your players to love it. My short time being around here, they do everything first class so I don't know why players wouldn't love it.
-- Former Jets great Dale Hawerchuk
"I loved it here, I loved coming here as an 18-year-old. I felt like I pretty much grew up here. It's always been special. Even after we moved on to Buffalo we still had a place in Gimli for many years and my wife's from here, so there's some family here.
"There was nothing better than knowing that as an NHL player no matter where you walked in the city people were going to know who you were. So, you had better be proud of your accomplishments. That should push people."
HOMEWORK CAN'T WAIT: Jets' third-round draft pick Jack Glover was a late arrival to D-Camp, but with good reason. He's taking a couple of courses at the University of Minnesota and had to get the work done before hopping on a plane north.
"I had to finish up Monday and turn in two mini-papers that were due Wednesday," said Glover, who is taking a sports-management and a freshman writing class this summer. "I'm doing a research paper right now on genetically modified organisms so there were a couple annotated bibliographies for it, four pages or so.
"It's little over my head, but I wrote it down, got it on paper and hopefully it worked out all right."
Glover, a 6-3, 185-pound defenceman from Golden Valley, Minn., has already had his eyes opened as to the work he has to put in to become an NHLer. And that's what this camp is all about.
"I didn't really know what to expect coming into the camp," said Glover. "Obviously being drafted is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But then the work starts now and coming out here is the first step in realizing what I need to do to play at the next level and what the biggest things are that I'm going to need to work on in the next few years at (University of) Minnesota in order to come in here and make an impact one day. For me, it's my strength. I'm a tall kid, I need to add some weight, but the right weight at the same time. I need to get stronger, especially in my lower body, and really work on winning those one-on-one battles."
THE SKED: The Jets' D-Camp continues today with two sessions, at 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.
MINOR DEAL: The Jets announced Wednesday night they had made a minor trade, sending forward Jordan Samuels-Thomas to the Buffalo Sabres for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2015. Originally drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in the seventh round (203rd overall) in 2009, the Sabres have until Aug. 15 to sign Samuels-Thomas before he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

- Parse the packet header into a hexadecimal String (say "02B5" for example)
- Get rest of data from the packet
- Match header in parseIO
- Call the appropriate function with the packet content
It would be easy to map String -> method, but the methods have different amount of in-parameters.
I thought of the simple two ways of pattern matching shown below.
packetIO :: String -> IO ()
packetIO packet =
case packet of
"02B5" -> function1
"ADD5" -> function2
... and so on
packetIO :: String -> IO ()
packetIO "02B5" = function1
packetIO "ADD5" = function2
... and so on
Both looking at performance and coding style, is there a way to better handle the packets received from the client?
If you have any resources or links I failed to find, please do point me in their direction!
Seems like both alternatives, listed below, are good choices. Just waiting to see answers to my questions in the comments before choosing which was the best solution for me.
- Storing (ByteString -> Function) in a Map structure. O(log n)
- Converting ByteString to Word16 and pattern match. O(log n) through tree or O(1) through lookup tables
Decided to go for pattern matching with Word16 as Philip JF said. Both are great alternatives and while my guess is both is equally fast, Map might be faster seeing I don't have to convert to Word16, the other option gave more readable code for my use:
packetIO 0x02B5 = function1
packetIO 0xADD5 = function2

1 year old sarrs. picture please
I have some seedlings that came up this year. Can anyone post a picture from a sarr. seedling that is 1 year old so I know what mine should look like next year.
If you do post one can you also mention if you kept it growing during the winter or had them in hibernation.
I see that no one has replied to this post.
The sarracenia seedlings one year old will look a lot it did the previous year. It may take up to 5 years depending the species to develope their respective traps of their species.
Small plants like S. purpurea, rubra, & psittacina may develop their adult leaves about 2 to 3 years. Large plants like flava & Leucophylla will take up to 5 years.
So you wont see much change other then its growing bigger leaves for a few more years.
Sorry that no one answered your post. But yes, depending what type of Sarracenia, it will take mimum for purpurea, rubras, & psittacinas 2 to 3 years. Flavas, Leucophyllas, alatas may take 4 to 5 years.
Look it this way, its will be a learing experience & you knwo what to expect. you should start seeng develop leaves of ther respective species sooner but full mature leaves takes a little longer.
My first sarracenias I aquired by seed before they were destroyed by vandals in 2005. But it was a learning experience for me.
Right now most of the seedlings look the same to me (they are now 6 months old), the only ones that look different are the seedlings that have some purpurea in them. For a while I thought I would be able to pick out the flavas(they were a pale green) but then after a couple of days of full sun ,they now have a redish colour like so many other seedlings. I'm glad now I put a little tag in my pot with the flavas.
Thanks for the pictures, don't they look cute when they are so young? I do wonder how people get so many seedlings from their seeds. From my 20 or so flava seeds only 3 germinated and from my 30 or so mixed deeds only 5 came up.
As far as I know I did everything right but I bought them pretty late so they might have not been too fresh anymore. For the moment I have more seeds in the fridge and stratification will soon be over. Let's hope they do better.
They were kept cold and wet, but I kept them in the door of the fridge and think maybe they "warmed up" too much when the door opened.
The ones that are almost ready for sowing now I've kept in the back of the fridge ,I'll see if it changes anything.
Carnivoor, here's some pics that I hope will help. All are Sarrencia purpurea.
These are some 8 month old seedlings, started in March of this year and grown under fluorescent lights only. I use a penny for scale. Somewhere on this forum is a thread about stimulating the growth of Sarrencia by transplanting -- these plants were transplanted a little over a month ago, and you can see the increase in pitcher size in the pitchers that have formed since then.
A bit closer:
Here's some other purpureas that were started from seed in 2005 -- this picture was taken in 2007 when they were two years old. The two plants in the photo are both the same age, some just seem to grow faster than others.
Here are those plants today, now 3 years old. They look a bit ratty because the terrarium they were in broke when I brought them indoors in early October, so I had to do a hasty transplanting just as I put them into winter dormancy. Anyhow, they don't look a whole lot bigger than last year to me, and there is still quite a size difference between plants of the same age. That's probably related to the fact that my winter dormancy is just in a cool basement window, so that might be tough on them. Penny in the photo for scale.
Here's a closer up of some of the smaller plants:
And here's a larger plant a closer up:
Thanks for the pictures don,looks like my seedlings are growing all right.They're a bit smaller then the ones in your 8 month picture but they are a bit younger so that's OK. They have been throwing out new pitchers so I didn't transplant them, I decided I'll try that should they stop growing (under lights). Since they come from a batch of mixed seeds it's hard to tell what they will do next. You can tell when a seedling has purpurea parentage but it's impossible to tell if it's pure or a hybrid.

Description This invention is in the field of mining recovery and cleanup processing, and specifically provides a method for precipitating mercury from processing solutions, particularly cyanide-containing processing solutions used for recovery of gold from its ores. Although the annual production of gold in the United States has been increasing steadily, oxide gold ore reserves are rapidly diminishing. In this regard, more complex ores, including refractory gold ores and low-grade ores, are being processed. In many cases, these resources contain significant amounts of mercury along with the gold values. Generally, the extraction of gold is accomplished by cyanidation in which leaching occurs by the addition of cyanide at alkaline pH. Cyanide, which is a strong lixiviant for gold, is an equally strong lixiviant for mercury. According to Sharpe (Sharpe, A. G., "The Chemistry of Cyano Complexes of the Transition Metals," (London Academic Press) 1976), simple and complex cyanides of mercury are restricted to the oxidation state of 2 and dissolve as the Hg(CN)2�, and HG(CN)3 -1 and HG(CN)4 -2 complexes of mercury. Typically mercury (II) is released as cyano complexes during leaching and follows gold through the solution concentration and purification steps. Purification is done by carbon adsorption (Ibrada, A. S. and Fuerstenau, D. W., "Adsorption of the Cyano Complexes of Ag(I), Cu(I), Hg(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) on Activated Carbon," Minerals and Metallurgical Processing (Feb. 1989) pp. 23-28) and electrowinning or zinc cementation (Sandberg, R. G. et al., "Calcium Sulfide Precipitation of Mercury During Cyanide Leaching of Gold Ores," (1984), RI8907, USBM). In a typical cyanidization carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process (Sandberg, R. G., et al. (1984) "Calcium Sulfide Precipitation of Mercury During Cyanide Leaching of Gold Ores," RI 8907 USBM), the ore is ground with lime, adding water to form a slurry, and sodium cyanide is added to solubilize the gold. The mixture is thickened using various methods of flocculation, and the underflow is treated with calcium sulfide to precipitate mercury as HgS. The slurry is then exposed to activated carbon to adsorb gold and silver. Mercury is also adsorbed onto the carbon and interferes with gold and silver recovery. Precipitated mercury sulfide reports with tailings where it forms a disposal problem. U.S. Pat. No. 4,289,532 to Matson et al. also discloses a typical gold cyanidation process. The overflow from the thickening process may also be subjected to mercury precipitation and filtration to recover mercury sulfide, and the filtrate exposed to activated carbon for removal of gold, silver and unprecipitated mercury. The loaded carbon streams exiting from the activated carbon treatments are stripped using a concentrated heated caustic cyanide strip solution and gold and silver recovered by electrowinning. The presence of mercury during exposure to activated carbon also interferes with recovery of the precious metals. The presence of mercury in all steps of cyanidation poses a threat to both the environment and to the health of the plant workers. The presence of high concentrations of mercury (>50 g/t) has been shown to reduce significantly the efficiency of gold cementation with zinc (Marsden, J. and House, I., "The Chemistry of Gold Extraction (Great Britain, Ellis Horwood Limited), 1992, p. 397). Mercury vapor can be released during carbon stripping, carbon regeneration, electrowinning, and retorting (Staker, W. L. et al., "Mercury Removal from Cold Cyanide Leach Solutions," Gold and Silver: Heap and Dump Leaching Practice, 1984, p. 119). Further, in the CIP process, mercury builds up in the recycled leach solutions and reports to the tailings because only part of the mercury is adsorbed on carbon in the loading circuit (Sandberg, R. G. et al., "Calcium Sulfide Precipitation of Mercury During Cyanide Leaching of Gold Ores," RI 8907 USBM, 1984) Thus the tailings impoundment can . also represent an environmental concern. Inorganic mercury can be transformed into methylmercury and dimethylmercury by the action of microorganisms under aerobic conditions and is favored by alkaline conditions. These compounds are volatile and can be released to the atmosphere (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, "Mercury and the Environment: Studies of Mercury Use, Emission, Biological Impact and Control," (Organization for Economic CoOperation and Development, Paris) 1974, p. 37). Furthermore, the methylation of mercury by sulfide reducing bacteria, producing a form of mercury that is more toxic and biologically available to biota, has been demonstrated (Porcella, D., "Mercury in the Environment: Biogeochemistry," Mercury Pollution, Integration and Synthesis, (C. Watras, J. Huckabee, Eds.) U.S.A., Lewis Publisher, (1994) p. 3). It is evident that the problem of mercury in the cyanidation of gold and silver ores is a two-fold problem involving: (1) the presence, and possible volatization of mercury from post-leaching process streams which presents environmental and health problems; and (2) the presence of mercury, in its various forms, within the tailings impoundment and recycled process water. Methods to control mercury during gold cyanidation are of particular interest to the gold mining industry. In this regard, a number of different chemical processes for mercury control have been devised. These include precipitation, adsorption, solvent extraction, ion exchange and cementation. For example mercury may be selectively removed from solution by ion exchange resins (Staker, W. L. and Sandberg, R. G., "Selective Elution of Mercury, Silver and Gold from Strong-Base Anion Exchange Resins," (1986) RI9093, USBM). Solvent extraction has also been used (Diaz, X. et al., "Selective Solvent Extraction of Gold from Mercury in Concentrated Alkaline Cyanide Solutions," Minerals, Metals and Materials Soc. (1993) 245-257 EPD Congress 1993, 1992). Flocculating agents may be used to enhance mercury removal (U.S. Pat. No. 4,726,939 issued Feb. 23, 1988 to Touro for "Process for the Removal of Mercury from Precious Metal-Cyanide Liquors"). Another method of precipitating mercury from cyanide leach solutions involves the use of polysulfides such as calcium polysulfide. Although information is limited on the chemistry and mercury-precipitating potential of polysulfides, they have been used in at least one commercial application. Ultimately, prior to the production of ore metal, elemental mercury is removed by retorting. Organic compounds such as water-soluble polymers recover mercury and other heavy metals from solution (U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,744 issued Oct. 28, 1986 to Horton for "Recovery of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solutions"). Trithiocarbanates have also been used for this purpose (U.S. Pat. No. 4,678,584 issued Jul. 7, 1987 to Elfine for "Method of Removing Heavy Metal From Wastewater Streams"). Thiourea has been used to recover gold and mercury from solution (U.S. Pat. No. 4,681,628 issued Jul. 21, 1987 to Griffin et al. for "Gold Recovery Process"). None of these processes are selective for the recovery of mercury from solutions also containing gold. Selective stabilization and/or removal of mercury has been accomplished by precipitation with inorganic sulfides (U.S. Pat. No. 4,734,270 issued Mar. 29, 1988 to Touro for "Sulfide Treatment to Inhibit Mercury Adsorption onto Activated Carbon in Carbon-in-Pulp Gold Recovery Circuits"). The gold cyanide complex is stable with respect to sulfide precipitation in alkaline cyanide solutions and on this basis a selective separation is possible. Studies have been reported using H2 S, Ag2 S, FeS, Na2 S, and CaS. Sandberg et al. at the U.S. Bureau of Mines in Salt Lake City, Utah have reported on mercury precipitation from gold cyanide leach solutions with CaS and Na2 S (Sandberg, R. G. et al. (1984), "Calcium Sulfide Precipitation of Mercury During Cyanide Leaching of Gold Ores," RI 8907 USBM; Staker, W. L. and Sandberg, R. G. (1986), "Calcium Sulfide Precipitation of Mercury for gold-Silver Leach Slurries," RI 9042, USBM). They found that Na2 S and CaS can serve as precipitants for mercury but report that redissolution of mercury occurs when Na2 S is used. Calcium sulfide, on the other hand, is reported to minimize the rate of mercury redissolution but, like all other sulfides, tends to precipitate silver from solution as well. Known methods of removal of mercury from process solutions suffer from one drawback or another. For example, the ion exchange resins are expensive and not very selective. The use of cementation by addition of noble metals has a detrimental effect and also contributes to gold loss. Selective solvent extraction using dibutylbutylphosphonate is unsatisfactory because it applies to strip solutions prior to the electrowinning circuit. In this case the mercury has already had a chance to volatize during the stripping and carbon regeneration circuit. The only feasible known method for mercury recovery from gold cyanide circuits is the use of CaS and Na2 S. H2 S, AgS and FeS can also be used, but H2 S is not recommended due to its high toxicity, while the use of FeS would form ferrocyanide in leach solutions, tying up vast amounts of cyanide, such that its use would be prohibitively expensive (Sandberg, R. G. et al., "Calcium Sulfide Precipitation of Mercury During Cyanide Leaching of Gold Ores," RI 8907 USBM, 1984). AgS would also not be economical to use due to its costly silver component. However, the sulfides of HgS tend to resolubilize in cyanide solution after a few hours and are not stable at high cyanide concentration. CaS and Na2 S are able to precipitate mercury only from the Hg(CN)4 -2 complex and cannot efficiently precipitate it from the dicyano complex, Hg(CN)2. Moreover, mercury redissolves when Na2 S is used, probably due to the fact that Na2 S is useful only in a limited pH range below 10 in which cyanide tends to dissociate into HCN. CaS is reported to minimize the rate of mercury redissolution but, like all other sulfides, tends to precipitate silver from solution as well. (However it was found that the addition of copper into solution deters silver precipitation while having no effect on the mercury precipitation rate (Staker, W. L. and Sandberg, R. G., "Calcium Sulfide Precipitation of Mercury from Gold-Silver-Leach Slurries," (1986) RI9042, USBM)). A method is needed to selectively remove mercury from process solutions, particularly cyanide-containing solutions also containing gold and silver, as found in gold recovery processes, such that the mercury does not redissolve in the solution. Dialkyldithiocarbamates are known to the art and potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate is known to form insoluble metallic salts except with those elements of the alkali and alkaline earth families (Leja, J., "Flotation Surfactants," Surface Chemistry of Froth Flotation (1982) Plenum Press, New York, pp. 258-259). Complexes formed between these compounds and various metals are also known (Galvez, J. et al., "Catalytic Hydrogen Wave in Presence of Dimethyldithiocarbamate and Cobalt II," Electrochemical Acta (1984) 29:253-256; Bond, A. M. et al., "Electrochemical Investigation of Kinetic and Thermodynamic Aspects of Oxidation and Reduction of Mononuclear and Binuclear Rhodium Dithiocarbamate and Diselenocarbamate Complexes," Inorg. Chem. (1989) 28:54-59; Stanislav, M. and Vladimir, F., "Theoretical study of the electron structure and properties of dithiocarbamates and their complexes with transition metals," Collect. Czech Chem. Commun. (1984) 49:2744-2750, Chem. Abstracts 1985 Vol. 102, No. 100934a). Mercury complexes with such organic compounds have been mentioned in the literature (Wan, Q. et al., "High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Aliphatic Secondary Amines as Mercury (II) Chelates," Chem Abstracts (1986) Vol. 105, No. 53850v). U.S. Pat. No. 3,561,946 issued Feb. 9, 1971 to Braxton et al. discloses inter alia alkyl mercury complexes with dimethyldithiocarbamate as useful herbitoxic compositions. All patents and publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference. A method is provided for removing mercury from solutions containing mercury in solution, preferably cyanide solution, comprising contacting the solution with a carbamate precipitating agent having the formula: ##STR1## where R1 and R2 are independently C1 -C4 alkyl, branched alkyl or alkenyl; A is S or O; and X is sodium or potassium. R1 and R2 are preferably ethyl or methyl, most preferably methyl. A is preferably sulfur, and X is preferably potassium. The most preferred compound for use in this invention is dimethyldithiocarbamate: ##STR2## These carbamate compositions are able to precipitate mercury from Hg(CN)4 -2, Hg(CN)3 -1 and Hg(CN)2 0 in solution to form a stable precipitate. The methods are especially useful in removing mercury from process solutions in gold cyanide processes for recovering gold metal from ore, as the carbamate selectively removes mercury without removing gold. The process solution treated may be the primary cyanide leach solution prior to contact with activated carbon, and/or other process streams such as thickener overflow streams, tailings solutions, and streams entering the electrowinning circuit. Very small amounts of the carbamate precipitating agent are required. For treatment of typical low-grade ores containing about 0.5 lb/ton mercury, approximately 0.5 to 2 lb/ton and preferably about 0.5 to 1 lb/ton of the carbamate is required. In typical process solutions having mercury concentrations of about 200 ppb, mercury is removed using the carbamates and processes of this invention to below the detection level of 1 ppb. In the process of this invention, the mercury-containing solution is contacted with carbamate by adding it directly to the solution with slow agitation to precipitate mercury. FIG. 1 shows a process circuit for a typical gold cyanidization process. Points on the circuit where mercury may be profitably removed from solution by addition of the carbamate compositions of this invention are marked X. FIG. 2 shows precipitation and removal of dicyano and tetracyano complexes of mercury from solution using dimethyldithio-carbamate at varying ratios of carbamate to mercury. From dark to light, the bars indicate: Darkest=Hg(CN)2 as determined by an independent laboratory; Second darkest=Hg(CN)2 as determined by University of Nevada-Reno laboratory; Second lightest=Hg(CN)4 -2 as determined by an independent laboratory; Lightest=Hg(CN)4 -2 as determined by University of Nevada-Reno laboratory. FIG. 3 illustrates the stability of the mercury dimethyldithiocarbamate precipitate, graphing Hg+2 concentration (ppm) versus time for the carbamate complex formed from an original Hg+2 solution having a concentration of 482 ppm resident in a 0.5 lb/ton cyanide (as NaCN) solution. FIG. 4 illustrates the precipitation of mercury during cyanidation of two different gold ores by potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate. FIG. 5 illustrates another embodiment of the invention using carbamate to precipitate mercury cyanide and other mercury species from a typical gold heap leach operation. The carbamate compounds of Formula I are useful for forming stable precipitates of mercury, thus removing it from solution. These carbamates, also known as thiol surfactants, form compounds of mercury with far greater stability than HgS. The carbamates also have the ability to precipitate both the dicyano and tetracyano complexes of mercury (HgCN)2 and Hg(CN)4 -2, respectively), while Na2 S and CaS are able to efficiently precipitate only the tetracyano complex, and not the more stable dicyano mercury complex. Potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate forms extremely insoluble metallic salts which are very massive and dense particles. An example of the reaction is shown below: ##STR3## Mercury forms complexes with the other carbamates of Formula I by analogous reactions. FIG. 2 illustrates the effectiveness of the methods of this invention to remove over 96% of both cyanomercury complexes at a molar ratio of mercury to dimethyldithiocarbamate of 1:2. Mercury can be stabilized by adding the carbamates of this invention during cyanidation without any detrimental effect on gold recovery. FIG. 1 shows a typical gold cyanide leach process. Sodium cyanide is added to the ore along with lime and water including process recycle water from tailings. The ore is ground and thickened with flocculant. The underflow from the thickening process may be treated with the carbamates of Formula I, preferably potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate, to precipitate and stabilize mercury. The stream then enters the carbon-in-pulp circuit where gold and silver are adsorbed onto activated carbon. The mercury-carbamate complex is not adsorbed and reports to the tailings treatment circuit. If the carbamate precipitation process has not been used during the leaching circuit, the tailings solution can be treated with carbamate to precipitate mercury. The carbamates may also be used to treat thickener overflow prior to filtration. If the carbamate treatments have not previously been used, mercury will adsorb onto the carbon in both the carbon-in-pulp treatment of the leach solution and carbon column treatment of thickener overflow. After stripping of gold, silver and mercury from the carbon, carbamates can be added to the solution entering the electrowinning circuit to precipitate mercury. The mercury-carbamate complex can be separated from the solution by filtration, flotation, or settling. As shown in FIG. 2, a molar ratio of potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate to mercury of 2:1 is sufficient to precipitate most of the mercury present. The mercury-dimethyldithiocarbamate complex is stable for at least several days. FIG. 3 shows stability of this complex over a 50-hour period. The process of this invention removes mercury from typical gold ores. As shown in FIG. 4, potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate was used to precipitate mercury from cyanidation solutions of gold ores taken from Hollister and Lonetree mines. Note that more than 96% of the soluble mercury precipitated upon addition of the carbamate with cyanidation. Less than 1-2% of the original mercury is present as mercury cyanide in solution after precipitation. The carbamate was added in stoichiometric amounts in the range of 0.5 lb/ton of ore during cyanidation. The mercury precipitation process of this invention may also be used in heap leaching processes for gold recovery as shown in FIG. 5. The pregnant solution from the heap leaching process containing mercury cyanide in solution as well as gold is treated with carbamate to precipitate mercury-carbamate complex. After removal of the complex, the pregnant gold-containing solution is treated with activated carbon for gold adsorption, and the solution recycled. The process of this invention is useful for removing mercury from solutions other than gold cyanidation solutions. Due to the stability of the mercury-cyanide complex, gold cyanidation solutions are one of the most difficult from which to remove mercury. Mercury may also be effectively removed from solutions in which it occurs as a halite, nitrate, sulfate, etc. The pH of the solution should not be less than about 4 for effective precipitation of mercury by the processes of this invention. Preferably the pH is between about 8 and about 11, and most preferably about 10. When heavy metals are present in the solution, such as copper, which compete with mercury for the carbamate in forming a stable complex for precipitation, excess carbamate may be added to exhaust the competing metal ions; alternatively, the pH of the solution may be adjusted, as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, to favor precipitation of the mercury complex. For example, copper carbamate will precipitate at pH 5, but not at pH 10. Mercury-carbamate complexes may be separated from tailing streams and filtration residues by flotation or settling. Flotation of Hg-DTC precipitates can be readily accomplished. Mercury-carbamate complexes are extremely hydrophobic. They can be separated by flotation using a minimum amount of frother. On the contrary it is difficult to float HgS and also it is impossible to filter HgS. Experiments have shown that more than 99% of mercury-carbamate compounds can be floated using a tall laboratory column by injecting 0.2 liter air/minute with addition of a small amount of frother. No flotation of HgS can be accomplished under the same conditions. The mercury-carbamate complex is safe for disposal because of its high stability. A solution was prepared by adding 0.48185 g Hg(CN)2 to 1 liter of deionized water at a pH of approximately 11. The free cyanide concentration was maintained at approximately 0.5 lb/ton by adding 0.23543 g of NaCN to the mercury cyanide solution. Mercury precipitation was then done by adding the stoichiometrically required amount of potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate (available from Buckman Laboratories, Memphis TN 38101 as BUSAN� 85) compound in order to precipitate the mercury from solution. The cyanide concentration in solution is roughly approximate to 0.5 lb/ton, a concentration typically used in actual (C.I.L.) cyanidation circuits. The precipitate was white to pale yellow. After precipitation, 25 mL samples were taken while mixing at various time periods using a 0.2 μm filter. The filtrate samples were preserved using NaOH and refrigerated until analysis. Results (FIG. 3) show that the dimethyldithiocarbamate compound is very stable at relatively high cyanide concentrations for an extended period of time. The above experiment was repeated using sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate (available from Buckman Laboratories as BUFLOC� 528) with similar results. The potassium complex appeared to be somewhat more effective as compared to the sodium complex. Solutions were prepared consisting of 25 ppm (mg/L) mercury as both Hg(CN)2 and Hg(CN)4 -2. NaAu(CN)2 was also added to determine the ability of potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate and other organic compounds to selectively precipitate mercury. The organic compounds were tested by adding excess stoichiometric amounts of each and centrifuging. The organic compounds tested were the dithiophosphates AEROFLOAT� 208 (dithiophosphate), AEROFLOAT� 211 (dithiophosphate), AEROFLOAT� 238 (dithiophosphate), AEROFLOAT� 241 (ammonium dicresyldithiophosphate), AEROFLOAT� 242 (ammonium dicresyldithiophosphate), AERO� 404 (sodium disecbutyldithiophosphate 11%), AERO� 407 (dithiophosphate) and AERO� 3477 (dithiophosphate); and the dithiocarbamates BUSAN� 85 (potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate) and BUFLOC� 528 (sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate). Dithiophosphates have no mercury precipitating ability, while the carbamates were very effective. The supernatants after centrifuging were tested using atomic absorption and cold vapor atomic absorption (CVAA) analysis. The precipitates were kept and deionized water added to each and the solution over each precipitate tested periodically for stability. To demonstrate that the carbamates selectively remove mercury from gold-containing solutions, potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate was added to the leach circuit in a cyanide leach process for a typical low-grade gold ore from central Nevada. Comparisons using no precipitating agent and using CaS were also done. The results are shown in Table 1.

Ron Paul's chump change
Submitted by DeMolay on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 15:30Really, it's news that only political junkies pay attention to. But it's still staggering.
The Times reported Wednesday that "Rep. Ron Paul raised more than $8 million for his presidential campaign in the last three months" from 100,000 individual donors.
And that's not all. "Texas Gov. Rick Perry said he raised more than $17 million from 22,000 donors."
Wait, there's more. Though he didn't announce a total, "a source close to the Mitt Romney campaign said the former Massachusetts governor's third-quarter fundraising take was expected to be more than $14 million."
Paul Raises $8 Million From More Than 100,000 Donors, New York Times
Submitted by We the People on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 14:50Representative Ron Paul of Texas raised more than $8 million in the last three months, another demonstration of the willingness of his followers to dig into their pockets.
Mr. Paul's campaign said he received money from more than 100,000 people, almost five times the number who have contributed $17 million to Gov. Rick Perry of Texas since his entrance into the race.
Ron Paul has 5 times the number of donors as Rick Perry
Submitted by mdonato on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 13:14Ron Paul just reported that the campaign collected over $8 million dollars from over 100,000 donors. Rick Perry collected around $15 million from around 20,000 donors.
Just goes to show who the people really support.

Romney secretly and illegally funded Perry
Submitted by MaxK on Sat, 10/01/2011 - 03:40Note: This is the type of the scandal that the establishment press doesn't want to cover, because it takes down both frontrunners at once.
It might be hard to imagine after last week's GOP presidential slugfest, but there was a time not too long ago when a group headed by Mitt Romney quietly—and a judge says illegally—helped Rick Perry's political career in Texas and set the stage for his new nemesis to rise on the national stage.
And what hasn't emerged before are court files reviewed by The Daily Beast stating that Romney was personally aware of the origins of the $1 million donation from a Texas homebuilder at the heart of the controversy, and that he discussed it with Perry's campaign aides.
Edit - new article, additional details, may be lying under oath to cover it up :(
I received an email to donate to Obama
Submitted by Changing on Fri, 09/30/2011 - 17:15So last night I received an email asking for a donation to Obama. They not only had my email addy but my first and last name. Anyone have any suggestions as to how they obtained the info?
I replied asking how they got my info. Also said I would be interested in donating to a fund that was trying him for treason and that they could contact me again in that event.
Added I was not interested in supporting a man who is destroying our country.
MSNBC: Ron Paul Gets More Donations From US Soldiers Than ALL Other Candidates Combined Including Obama! 9/29/11
Submitted by MMJ Ministry on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 19:49RP Campaign Donation Letters: Can I opt out and save them some cash?
Submitted by Sheehan-j on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 19:32I understand that direct mailing for donations works well for most campaigns, however I have never once donated to any campaign by returning a piece of direct mail, and don't intend to do so in the future. Despite this, I have still donated to most of the recent money bombs via the campaign website, and will continue to do so until I max out or run out of money entirely... whichever comes first.

Northwest Military Publication Salutes Ron Paul
Submitted by shifty1032231 on Wed, 09/28/2011 - 16:30As someone who has served his country, Air Force veteran and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has some very straightforward views on the United States' involvement in the Global War on Terror.
He believes hundreds of thousands of U.S. Servicemembers have been stretched thin all across the globe in more than 135 countries - often without a clear mission, any sense of what defines victory, or the knowledge of when they'll be permanently reunited with their families.
BlackThisOut Facebook Ads push after Daily Show appearance - Need help!

Just got a call from the RonPaul2012 campaign . Sept 30 is deadline
Submitted by firstname.lastname@example.com on Fri, 09/23/2011 - 12:29Sept. 30th is the end of another quarter for calculating donations. Once again Ron Pauls money is going to be compared to the other two top tier candadites. He needs another 1.5 million by then to be in the ball park to compete.
I just went ahead and gave another $100 to the campaign. Please spread the word to those that can afford to give ASAP.

Facebook "Like" Donation Challenge
Submitted by aaronburrismyhero on Wed, 09/21/2011 - 03:16This is my first post on the Daily Paul but I am a adamant follower of it and of the campaign, ever since 2008. I believe Dr. Paul to be correct on all the most important issues of today but I don't need to tell anyone here that.
I post today because I had an idea for fundraising but I am not very social media friendly. Meaning that I am not very good at utilizing the medium for maximum benefit. I was hoping people here could help me figure out how to spread this idea because I think it could work.

Man, that looks great, wana do mine |
Sep 01, 2010, 05:08 PM | ||
no unfortunately, I did not weight the plane. I'd say that the weight added is pretty negligible. with the full body paint job it will: with an 1800 nanotech in it - thermal pretty good on a good lift day. and still have plenty juice to jackass around at 1/2 to WOT doing stupid things with a 1300 in it, it'll almost hang with my Radian |

lol... that just happened to a buddy of mine who sent a few lipos from HK direct to me for his upcoming vacation visit Hongkong -> Singapore -> Switzerland -> New York -> California -> Hawaii around the world the WONG Way. best traveled Lipos on the planet |
Sep 01, 2010, 05:31 PM | |
No, a 20C 1300 3S lipo powers and balances my stock motor CF just fine, including with the larger APC 6x4E prop as I mentioned. I will typically climb at/near vertical at WOT for maybe 8-10 seconds, then level off, power off and glide down... repeating for 25-30 minutes of flying. MY motor draws about 18A at WOT (static test) with the 6x4 prop, well below what the 20C 1300 3S lipo can deliver for intermittant periods. Just make sure you carve the battery slot side foam a little to get the pack butted up against the inside of the nose foam so the CG stays within the edge of the spar foam cover piece. As I mentioned, this will likely require the ESC to also be up in the nose, on edge between the battery and fuse side foam, like this:

Back on topic. What paints are used on EPO? How is it for durability? I'm sure the info is somewhere in the previous 283 pages somewhere but the very fact that I've bought a premade foamy indicates my proclivity to easy solutions |
Sep 01, 2010, 06:11 PM | ||
plus of course, there is always acrylic (thin with windex for best self leveling and use a sponge brush for a respectable finish) durability sucks on EPO - tape takes the paint off, scuffing landings take the paint off - but you can always touch it up. but with regard to paint scuffing in high wear areas - I feel it gives the plane character and a "real tool" feel there are options to paint durability - but they add weight. My plane was painted with Ace Chrome spraypaint on the topsides, Krylon Camo Olive drab on the undersides, and krylon yellow spraypaint on the wingtips. the graphic checkerboard tape is 1" vinyl tape from someplace or other, as is the yellow tape. everything is given 1.5 coats (just enough to cover the white) for the lightest coating possible. |
Sep 01, 2010, 06:39 PM | |
OK, thanks for that. We don't have Krylon in this part of the world but I'm sure I could find something similar.
I just ordered some of the control horns from HK (call me either masochist, slow learner, or incurable optimist). I love those things! I tried to get one off the elevator and the only way to do it was with a dremel. |

Bags are sturdy and the snap buckles are convenient. I would recommend getting saddle bag supports though.
