Memo to officers of the secret policeApr. 26th, 2011 01:11 am
( Regarding even the most trivial of matters, Crouch Sr.'s responses tend largely to fall on the despotic side. Were he uneducated, perhaps, this would merely make him difficult to live with, but the degree of his intelligence allows him all the capacity in the world to justify any and every action he makes to accord with his black and white view of Right and Wrong. The article in the Quibbler had lied about several facts, but it had been Wrong much more than it had been incorrect, and no amount of risk in doing something so bold so soon after it's publication can stop him from blaming Rita Skeeter for everything she has done. )

To the little girl in kindergarten
I turned to say, "I beg your pardon?"
She said, "Dippity dapple,
I'm Iris Eve Apple."
"Don't be cute. I'm here as your warden."
Ahh, substitute teaching…you always have to be on your toes, especially with kindergarteners who are prone to step on them or touch them if they see polish on the nails. I taught so many cute kids this week in grades K-4. "Cute," by all other measures until their regular teacher stepped out for a day… or two. A poster in the kindergarten room read, "Teaching kindergarten is like putting 100 corks into a bathtub and then trying to keep them all down at one time." Well, that drowning metaphor was, um, inappropriate (but interesting). I think substitute teaching is similar, except that there's that one kid who brings bubble bath and slips it into the tub, so the teacher cannot see the corks anymore. All the teacher hears is giggling. Try to manage that…sub! Blindly entering a fragile ecosystem can be tricky, but if I were counting miracles, I would count these:
- The boy who hid in his cubby because other kids called him Justin Bieber finally came out
- Nobody was harmed in what turned into a mosh pit of ring-around-the-rosy
- I didn't contract lice or the flu from notorious room 22
- No one threw up or peed their pants
- They cried "encore, encore" to my singing voice
- Two kids told me, "I love you"

An incident can happen to anyone, any time. Road rage, domestic violence, stalking, bullying and other antisocial behavior are as difficult to deal with as they are unavoidable so make sure you, your family & friends are prepared by downloading the Angel-Cam app.
Just touch the app once.
Everything happens automatically. A video is streamed live from the scene and alerts are sent to family & friends who can click to an Incident Page to see the video and a map of the location.
The video is stored on a remote server so a perpetrator cannot destroy the evidence even if they grab the phone.
Most perpetrators of antisocial behavior will back down when they know they are being recorded, especially if they know alerts have already been sent and the video uploaded … so there's no point in them trying to grab the phone.
Your family & friends will receive alerts by e-mail, in-app and by SMS text* within seconds. Clicking through to an Incident Page, they can see the video* – live or recorded, a location map, sender details and the incident status. There is even an in-app texting tool to message the sender.
Use the video at a later date as evidence, either informally to warn the perpetrator or formally through the police and court proceedings. Every video has time, user and location information is associated with it. The status of video evidence is subject to local legislation and is probably admissible in court, as we can authenticate the recording, time and location.
Angel-Cam: To Protect and Connect.
This is where you configure your Angel-Cam options
Angel-Cam is available on special terms for corporate, charitable and business use.
CONTACT US for details.
Angel-Cam is free to download & use. In-app subscription of £1:49 per month is needed to access all videos. Min one month subscription. SMS text alerts are activated through the purchase of in-app credits from £4:99, no expiry date applies.
All other functionality and alerts are free.
Angel-Cam is a creation of Txtrax Ltd, a fifteen-year-old private company based in Northumberland, England.
It started with the obvious: use your mobile device to video incidents of anti-social behaviour. Happily, these events are quite rare (and usually without warning) but on one occasion Tod Yeadon, Angel-Cam's founder, was confronted by five youths trespassing on his property. Putting his mobile phone into video record mode, he was surprised at how effective it was as a deterrent, the threat of violence immediately subsiding (but not the language!) and the youths moved on.
But it was not perfect. It was fiddly to get into video record mode – not something you need at a stressful moment – and what if they had taken the device by force? The evidence would go with them. And so Angel-Cam was born: Instant video streaming, alerts sent automatically and the video uploaded to a secure remote server all by just switching on the app… and there's an emergency call button if the incident escalates into a crisis.
Angel-Cam is to instantly connect family and friends when needed most, to protect victims and to bring bullies to justice.

The Minnesota FoodShare's March campaign is a statewide fundraising and food drive campaign that helps over 300 local food shelves in communities throughout the state, including the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf in New Brighton.
The campaign raises hunger awareness and promotes donations to local food shelves. From now until April 6, a portion of all pounds of food and dollars donated to the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf will be matched by Minnesota FoodShare.
Minnesota FoodShare solicits donations from corporate sponsors, congregations and individuals for their food fund, 100 percent of which is given to participating food shelves as proportional matching grants based on the monetary and food donations each food shelf collects locally.
Ralph Reeder's donation goal this March is 90,000 pounds of food and dollars combined.
"A portion of every donation made to our food shelf will be matched by Minnesota Foodshare making it the perfect time to give," said Ralph Reeder program supervisor Lisa Baker. "We can also purchase food through low cost hunger partners like Second Harvest Heartland for pennies on a dollar making every dollar you give worth approximately $8.00 worth of food."
The New Brighton food shelf serves an average of 622 households each month, providing 454,551 pounds of food annually or enough food to provide 379,000 meals.
"All non-perishable food items are needed, along with hygiene items, cleaning supplies, baby diapers and wipes," said Baker. "In addition to food, we offer a weekend backpack program called snackpack, school supplies, holiday toys and gifts, senior mobile outreach, and connect people to additional resources. We work closely with our schools to ensure that the neediest of families are not falling through the cracks."
The Minnesota FoodShare's March campaign is the largest food drive in the state, having raised $7.9 million and 5.2 million pounds of food in 2016.
The Ralph Reeder Food Shelf serves the communities of New Brighton, Mounds View, Shoreview, Arden Hills, North Oaks, northern Roseville and the Ramsey County portion of St. Anthony.
"We live in communities where affluence and poverty live side by side. The face of hunger has really changed – someone who is food insecure could be your neighbor, your child's friend at school, the teller at your bank," said Baker. "When you make a donation to your local food shelf, you are directly supporting your neighbors in need."
Donations can be dropped off at the Pike Lake Education Center – door 13 – 2101 14th St. NW, New Brighton, Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. or Fridays 9 a.m. to noon. Monetary donations can be made out to the Ralph
Reeder Food Shelf and mailed to the above address or online at www.ralphreederfoodshelf.org. One hundred percent of donations are tax deductible.

PENTA vs North – PGL Major Krakow 2017
PENTA VETO – Cobblestone
PENTA VETO – Overpass
North VETO – Train
North VETO – Inferno or Mirage
North VETO – Cache
PENTA PICK – Mirage or Inferno
Mirage – 55/45 to North
I think PENTA has a decent shot on Mirage just off the way they have been playing as a team, their comeback yesterday against SK was really good to watch and it shows they have tenacity by bringing it back against the best team in the world currently. North seems to have a lot of mental issues with staying focused in the game etc and I think that PENTA could do a lot of damage here if North allow it. Overall I think North is definitely favored to win but it's really anyone's game. The problem I see with PENTA is their low pistol win rate and they will need to win at least 1 to take the game and that won't be easy against North who are highly skilled pistol players.
Inferno – 56/44 to North
Although PENTA almost defeated SK yesterday it needs to be mentioned that they had a difficult time doing anything on T side and ended the half 10-5 after getting some lucky rounds towards the end but it was originally 10-0. North have great teamwork they can fall back on and if they come out hot I think they can easily take it, especially after they will be able to go over PENTA's demo from yesterday. Overall I will take North to win here but it will be close.
Overall –
I have really enjoyed watching PENTA over the last few weeks and I believe they could make the playoffs of the major if they manage to keep this level of performance up. North has been lackluster for months now.

How very true, a Rolex. Actually, good heirloom choices would be a Rolex Submariner and an Omega Seamaster, those should last at least 3x as long as any other mechanical watches possibly could.
Well, the only thing better would be a yellow gold Rolex. The ultrasonic vibrations coming from the gold crystals prolong the life of such a watch for an another decade, easily. Or are that the diamond minerals that do the trick? I always mix these up. Anyway, a Rolex should do it.
Now I must run, my 51 year old Molnija and a 49 year old Grand Seiko need to be told that they really shouldn't have lasted this long, especially in the quite nice condition they're in. Ah, well. I just know they'll take the news badly and spit out their hairsprings in protest.
On a more serious note, in the parts I'm currently wandering about, Molnijas in a reasonably good shape can be had for about 8 USD.
Sooo... a budget of $600 would get you 75 of them. And, it just occurred to me, a budget of $600 would also get you a vintage Grand Seiko. If in a pinch, having too many kids to leave the watches to, or some such mind boggling problem, one could probably still get away with buying, let's say, 12 Molnijas *and* a vintage Grand Seiko?
Hi there,
Regards, Roland Ranfft
Mechanical can last a few good years and even longer.
And are more fun and brings a closer attachment to the wear i feel.
The sweeping of the second hand captures one more.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I have my grandfathers fancy Illinois pocket watch, now 107 years old. It runs perfectly. He gave it to me when I was ten years old. I'm 62 now.
I have a watch repair shop and I see a lot of both quartz and mechanical watches. If you take care of them, all things being equal, the mechanical will still far outlast the quartz. There is plastic in the movt and it degrades, and the watch itself is FAR more susceptible to magnetic fields and dirt. You can do a CTR on a quartz, but no one does this unless it is a valuable quartz, and even then, if you can get a new quartz movt, that is usually the way to go and this is what happens in most depots. A real good quartz might have a life span of maybe 30-40 years. Most of the inexpensive quartz watches won't last 5.
Now, a mechanical watch is an entirely different animal. While I would be hesitant to advance a brand name as being a likely candidate for future longevity, if we look at the past, we see watches that have lasted many decades, even hundreds of years. At any given time I have at least one fusee pocket watch in the shop dating to the 18th century. These are very fragile as you might imagine, but are a testament to what happens when something is cared for.
As has been pointed out, you can run a Seiko 5 for 30-40 years with no service and it will still run, but wear and tear will be evident. I see a lot of old Seamasters and Rolexes, and the Rolex' Achilles heel is always the rotor. You can replace the axle and the jewel a few times, but ultimately you replace the rotor. They do hold their value, and that is their best feature. Some of my favourites from the 50's are Omegas and Eternas, and there are a lot of extinct brands that are outstanding by virtue of their movts. These respond well to CTR and are up and running again for another 60 years. I always point out the recyclable nature of mechanical watches, their longevity spreads their footprint out over many years, no batteries, no plastic, no electronic parts. There is a quantity of cleaning fluid and a minuscule amount of lubricant used in the service of a mechanical watch, to be sure, but again, this is spread out over many years. That's what I call green technology: Your automatic watch winds itself as you wear it and if you take care of it, you hand it down to your grandkids.

text: Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar ( —EŽÒ‰¤ƒKƒIƒKƒCƒK[ ) Sunrise/Nagoya TV/Victor Entertainment, 1997-1998 U.S. Distributor Pending. (What? No one's licensed this yet?! ) Directed by Yoshitomo Yonetani (Betterman, Brigadoon). Not Rated (Suggested 13-Up). Contains graphic violence and mature situations. In the year 2005, a race of evil aliens called the "Zondars" emerge from underneath the Earth's surface and stage numerous attacks on Tokyo with their robot monsters designated as "E.I." (Enemy Invaders). To combat this threat, the 3G (Gutsy Geoid Guard) bring out the cyborg hero Guy and the mechanical lion Galeon (once combined, they become the humanoid robot GaiGar). But when an EI is deemed too tough to control, 3G approves "Final Fusion," where GaiGar merges with DrillGao (a drill tank), LinerGao (a bullet train) and StealthGao (a stealth bomber) to become Earth's ultimate line of defense - the mighty robot GaoGaiGar. Story: A At first, GaoGaiGar can be dismissed as a kiddie anime, but underneath the hokey premise and the first episode intro that is so Superman, GaoGaiGar has everything you want in an super robot anime - colossal mecha action, over-the-top heroes and extremely sinister villains. As a matter of fact, the Zonders would become a major inspiration for other anime villains like the Invaders in Gate Keepers. Kids will idolize the show's main heroes Guy and Mamoru, while guys will be hooked on the show's hot chicks and cool mecha. GaoGaiGar is loads of fun for everyone. Animation: A- For a TV series aimed at kids, Sunrise threw everything and the kitchen sink in animating GaoGaiGar. The animation itself is groundbreaking by its own right, using a perfect blend of 2D cel art with 3D computer effects. The character designs by Takahiro Kimura (Betterman, Brigadoon) have everything from slick outfits to really hot female characters like 3G's Mikoto and Swan or the evil Zonder chick Primarda. (My co-worker even thinks Mamoru's foster mother is hot.) Kunio Okawara's (Mobile Suit Gundam, Betterman) design for GaoGaiGar is his best work ever. With weapons and tools like the "Broken Magnum" (a Rocket Punch on steroids), "Dividing Driver" (a giant screwdriver used to create a battlefield to keep the fights away from the city) and the "Goldion Hammer" (you have to see this to believe it), GaoGaiGar puts most other Super Robots to shame. Soundtrack: A Ga-Ga-Ga! Ga-Ga-Ga-GaoGaiGar! Ga-Ga-Ga! Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga-GaoGaiGar! The show's soundtrack ain't no slouch, either, as the opening theme "Yuusha-Oh Tanjo!" is the most energetic robot theme song ever recorded. In addition, Kohei Tanaka (Gunbuster, Sakura Wars) supplies an outstanding orchestral score that mixes perfectly with the action. Cast Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar features Nobuyuki Hiyama (Shiro in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, Yushiro in Gasaraki) as Guy, Maiko Ito (Atsuko in Boogiepop Phantom) as Mamoru, Tomoe Hanba (Lucciola in Last Exile) as Mikoto, Koji Ishii (Kimura-sensei in Azumanga Daioh, Oji in The Legend of Black Heaven) as Taiga, Hisao Egawa as Hyuma/Goldy Marg, Miki Narahashi as Swan/Reiko, Kenichi Ogata (Genma in Ranma 1/2, Myoga in Inu-Yasha) as Leo/Pasdar, Hiroaki Ishikawa as Kazuo/Sueo, Tsutomu Kashiwakura as Entouji/Takayasu/Penchinon, Shinichi Yamada as Hyoryu/Enryu/ChoRyuJin/Rairyu/Furyu/GekiRyuJin, Katsuyuki Konishi (Samurai Deeper Kyo, Louie the Rune Soldier) as VolFogg, Mitsuo Iwata (Kaneda in AKIRA, Itsuki in Initial D) as Mike Sounders, Konami Yoshida (Metal Fighter Miku, Umi in Magic Knight Rayearth) as Hana, Yuri Sa as Mamoru's mother/Ikumi, Kohzou Shioya (Majin Buu in Dragon Ball Z) as Mamoru's father/Polonaise, Miho Yamada (Miki in Magic User's Club) as Mamoru's teacher, and Kiyoshi Kobayashi (Jigen in Lupin III, Delaz in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083) as the narrator. The Bottom Line Non stop mecha action, awesome animation and a killer soundtrack to boot. No wonder GaoGaiGar is the King of Braves. This Gao's for you.

Mould powder consumption, melting and lubrication and their effects on mould heat transfer and subsequent surface quality of continuously cast slab
Via measurements made on plant during casting, laboratory studies and mathematical modelling, Corus RD & Sviluppo Materiali (CSM), Dillinger Hüttenwerke, the Swedish Institute of Metals Research (SIMA) and SSAB studied mould powder consumption, melting and lubrication and their effects on mould heat transfer and subsequent slab surface quality. Collected plant data were used to characterise the properties and performance and also to provide base data for the models of powder consumption, melting and slag pool depth. These data enabled Corus to identify those parameters having a significant effect on powder consumption and Dillinger Hütte (over 30000 heats monitored) to characterise comprehensively their process with respect to mould powder consumption and its effect on product quality. Accurate in-cast measurements of slag pool depth were required and thus existing methods were reviewed and a new electrical conductivity based method developed by CSM. Mould heat transfer was investigated using thermocoupled moulds at SSAB, Corus and Dillinger. The work at SSAB and SIMR identified the optimum conditions and mould end plate design for casting of crack-sensitive, microalloyed, low carbon and peritectic grades. Dillinger observed that powder consumption was not the dominating factor for heat removal at the very low casting speeds used for the large section sizes cast there. Pirical rules and models reported in the literature for calculating the powder consumption from the casting oscillation parameters and powder properties were evaluated and recommendations made regarding their suitability for use in the partners� plants. An existing model of powder consumption was developed further and tested by Caruso CSM developed successfully a numerical model of powder melting, slag pool depth and consumption.

Relationships with government
Improving relationships with government
Mining and beneficiation are highly regulated industries and require close interaction with a broad range of regulators. Many of the challenges facing Lonmin and the platinum industry are closely linked to the broader systemic socio-economic issues facing South Africa and cannot be solved by the Company in isolation. The needs of the local community and the priorities that Lonmin seeks to address through its SLPs are aligned with national priorities and can only be effectively achieved in collaboration with government. Maintaining a good working relationship with the South African government is important to Lonmin, not only because its operating assets are located entirely in South Africa, but also due to Lonmin's vision of shared value.
This chapter overlaps and corresponds with the preceding four material focus chapters and highlights the need to partner with the three tiers1 of government to find sustainable solutions to the challenges facing the country. The three tiers of the South African government include national, provincial and local governments. While Lonmin is committed to driving sustainable change in the areas it can directly affect, the responsibility for broader change and development is shared with government, at all levels. As a regulator and socio-political leader, government creates the environment for business growth and development to thrive or die.
|Local/(municipal) provincial and national.
Employee and government relations
Our ability to build strong relationships with employees and unions is adversely impacted by shortcomings in community infrastructure and service delivery failures that negatively affect employees' home environments. While Lonmin acknowledges its responsibility to support development in local communities and drive the solution to reasonable accommodation, improving our employees' home environment requires a thriving profitable business and collaborative partnership with government.
The Mining Charter compels companies to assist their employees in improving living conditions. Rightfully so, this ensured that single-sex hostels were converted into family units by the end of 2014. Lonmin complied with the Mining Charter requirement and also contributed 50 hectares of serviced land to the Provincial Human Settlements Department. Government has built housing in Marikana Extension 2 and some employees from Lonmin will be beneficiaries in the leased accommodation.
Safety, health and government relations
The safety and health of our employees is one of Lonmin's most important concerns. In recent years, Section 54 safety stoppages were imposed more frequently across the industry, more broadly applied across operations and took longer to uplift. Lonmin participates in industry-wide initiatives and is part of the mining leadership declaration agreement which aims to minimise production disruptions.
Our clinics and hospitals support government priorities in community health through various awareness and outreach initiatives, particularly in the areas of tuberculosis and HIV/Aids. Detail on these initiatives is available in the safety and health chapter.
Social licence to operate and government relations
The MPRDA requires a five-year SLP that is approved by the DMR. The SLPs include initiatives that Lonmin has to deliver against as part of its legal and social licence to operate, and focus on transformation and socio-economic development initiatives aimed at improving socio-economic conditions of employees and communities. The detail of Lonmin's SLP projects.
Environmental matters and government relations
Lonmin's daily activities are regulated by more than 50 environment-related licences, authorisations and permits. Building sound relationships with government supports the practical implementation of environmental policies in a spirit of collaboration and acknowledgement of the Company's specific context and challenges. Further information on Lonmin's legal obligations under the various environmental regulations that apply to the Company's operations is available in the environmental chapter.
Engaging with government
Lonmin engages with the three tiers of government at all levels of the Company, as appropriate to the nature of the engagement. For example, engagements with the DMR's safety inspectors will involve operational safety representatives, but engagements regarding Mining Charter compliance are the responsibility of the Executive Vice-President for Human Resources and Executive Vice-President for Communications and Public Affairs.
Lonmin also engages with government through various business and industry organisations to ensure that the Company's positions on matters of importance are represented at the correct level of responsibility.
Driving compliance
The mining industry operates within a regulatory context that includes a vast array of laws, government policies, guidelines and frameworks. Representatives from a range of government departments engage with Lonmin on a regular basis to monitor implementation and compliance with these requirements.
Review of Mining Charter obligations
All holders of mining rights in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) are measured against the targets set in the Revised Broad-Based Socio-economic Empowerment Charter for the South African Mining Industry, 2010 (the Revised Mining Charter). The targets support transformation and socio-economic development in the mining industry, covering nine areas. These include promoting meaningful economic partnership by HDSAs in the mining industry through ownership, employment equity, skills development, preferential procurement and enterprise development provisions. Socio-economic development is driven through provisions to improve housing and living conditions for mineworkers and promote community development. Sustainable development commitments include environmental management compliance, health and safety, and capacity and skills aspects. The Mining Charter also aims to promote local beneficiation in line with government's mineral beneficiation strategy.
Lonmin continues to improve its performance against the targets set by the Mining Charter and submitted its annual scorecard report to the DMR for the 12 months ended 31 December 2014, as required.
The Mining Charter is scheduled to be replaced by a new Charter still to be negotiated between industry stakeholders. It is anticipated that the new Charter will be finalised in 2016. In the interim, the targets contained in the current Mining Charter continue to apply.
Social and labour plans (SLPs)
The MPRDA also requires the submission of SLPs to the DMR. The SLPs cover a five-year forecast period and include initiatives Lonmin has to deliver on as part of its legal and social licence to operate. It is drawn up in close collaboration with community and government representatives to address key challenges facing these stakeholders. Many of these projects also align with government's social development agenda and National Development Plan (NDP) and the Integrated Development Plans from municipalities. Our SLPs focus on accelerating transformation and implementing measures to significantly improve the living conditions of our employees, host communities and major communities from where our employees originate.
Given the current economic climate, subdued market conditions and consequential downscaling of the organisation, Lonmin has commenced with the review of the current SLPs. The intended outcome of the review is to align the SLPs to the Company's new reality by way of revising our commitments via a Section 102 application to the regulator as per the MPRDA.
Further detail on Lonmin's SLP projects.
Mining and prospecting rights
Lonmin's primary legal licence to operate is its mining rights issued in terms of the MPRDA. The Company was granted new order mining rights for its core operations that continue to 2037 and are then renewable to 2067. The ongoing benefit of these mining rights depends on the Company complying with the requirements of the MPRDA, including continuing to substantially meet the targets set by the Revised Mining Charter.
Numerous other licences apply to various areas within our operations, such as our water use licences, and atmospheric emissions licences.
Lonmin has processes and controls in place to ensure it complies with the requirements of its operating and legal licences, and undergoes regular internal and external audits to verify this. As importantly, the Company is committed to ensuring that it retains its social licence to operate, as discussed in the initiatives described in the chapter on social licence to operate.
Government priorities
Lonmin recognises that its stakeholder group encompasses more than those individuals and groups it has direct interaction with and includes broader society. The Company is committed to investing in initiatives that align with South Africa's developmental goals to contribute to a better future for all. We engage closely with government to ensure that, as far as possible, our socio-economic development commitments align with the country's broader overarching goals.
To fast-track the issues that have been highlighted by the National Development Plan, the government has announced Project Phakisa for mining. This is a government initiative that will accelerate the delivery of some of the development priorities for the mining industry and local communities.
The Framework Agreement for a Sustainable Mining Industry
Lonmin is a signatory to the July 2013 Framework Agreement for a Sustainable Mining Industry, also known as the Peace Accord. This agreement, signed by government, labour and business, defines the roles of each party and outlines their commitments. The Peace Accord highlights the need to improve the working and living conditions of mine workers, and accelerate transformation to redress the historical imbalances, legacies and inequalities in the mining industry.
The improvement areas outlined in the agreement are addressed through the Company's commitment to transformation and its investment in improving accommodation and contributing to the socio-economic development of local and labour-sending communities.
The National Development Plan (NDP)
Lonmin supports the South African government's NDP and is committed to playing its part in achieving its goals. The NDP aims to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by 2030, prioritising employment through faster economic growth and improving the quality of education, skills development and innovation. Our socio-economic development initiatives are established after engagement with communities and government representatives to address community needs while aligning with the NDP and regional IDPs.
Local infrastructure development
Many of our community development initiatives focus on local infrastructure development. The Mining Charter requires that infrastructure development in terms of the SLP align with regional and municipal IDPs.
Local beneficiation is an element of the Mining Charter scorecard and a key issue in the debate around resource nationalism. Beneficiation has been incorporated into the MPRDA Amendment Bill, which is currently the subject of Parliamentary debate. The Bill proposes that the Minister of Mineral Resources be granted a discretion to declare certain minerals as strategic, determine what percentage of strategic minerals are to be made available locally, set the developmental price at which strategic minerals are to be sold and decide the conditions applicable to export permits. While Lonmin supports the underlying intention of local beneficiation, it is important that the legislation as finally enacted effectively achieves these intentions while not undermining the competitiveness of the local mining industry. Lonmin is looking at ways to maximise the beneficiation of platinum, including the use of fuel cell technology.
Key government departments
Lonmin works with all three tiers of government – national, provincial and local – to address community challenges. Social infrastructure projects require co-ordination and alignment between local, provincial and national priorities to ensure effective delivery. Where these priorities do not align, projects are delayed and social delivery suffers.
Lonmin interacts with a range of representatives from government departments, including those listed in the table below.

Cristiano Ronaldo has no desire to go into coaching once he retires from football.
The 30-year-old Real Madrid superstar told El Mundo's Papel he has plenty of interests outside of the game to keep him occupied once he hangs up his boots and does not foresee a coaching or presidential role at any club interfering with this.
"There is another life after football," he said. "I think at first it will cost a bit, but if you ask me now if I want to coach, I say no. Neither a club manager or president.
"You can say you have the best job, money, cars, houses ... But that is not everything. An example: On Saturday there is a boxing match in Las Vegas and I would take my family and friends but I cannot because I have no time. But after [football] I want to live like a king."
Ronaldo has established himself as Madrid's all-time record goalscorer this season and won a third Ballon d'Or last year.
The forward attributes his phenomenal success to tough early years in the game, when he left his home of Madeira to join Sporting Lisbon's youth academy before again uprooting himself to sign for Manchester United as an 18-year-old.
"I have less pressure due to the hard life I had," he explained. "Leaving home at 11 and going to a different world, first to Lisbon and then to Manchester, was very difficult.
"From 11 to 18 I won stability. The person I am today is because I spent time without my family and hard times. I was a teenager, but I had to do things as a man. My mental strength began at that time."

As the economics of digital bookselling evolve, bargain prices don't always pack the punch they once did in terms of driving sales.
That's partly a function of the sheer volume of titles being pumped into the market, but major publishers' willingness to experiment with price promotions is also influencing readers' buying habits and expectations.
With three of the Big Five publishers now back to agency ebook pricing and many publishers widening their direct-to-consumer efforts, alternatives to the straightforward 99-cent price promotion are multiplying.
Some of the most effective approaches are deceptively simple–like adding a shopping cart to an online bookstore or deploying a good, old-fashioned email newsletter.

All Things Astros and a whole lot more
I'm traveling this week, but the Astros continue to baffle with — as some have noted — a "new hero" everyday. Just when you think a huge losing streak has doomed the season and calls into questions early moves, the Astros now appear to be in somewhat of a portion of the season that will be tell-tale. They are successfully bridging the gap of injuries to Jed Lowrie, Scott Feldman, not to mention a bevy of .200 hitters, some of whom are now contributing to the approach to stability.
Here are a few thoughts on the goings-on from recent days and weeks.
First Matt Dominguez, who's next?
Dominguez was a Luhnow guy, acquired in the Carlos Lee trade along with Rob Rasmussen. Lost on a waiver claim at age 24, the Astros had given up on Dominguez, the former first rounder who was also highly projected on several lists. There will be other tough decisions ahead and the Astros are bound to make a mistake on a prospect who hasn't had the time to mature or is a late bloomer. Prospects like Max Stassi and Nolan Fontana, who many would like to see in Houston, may face uphill battles to stay in the organization. There are others of course, but the Astros clearly have less chaff in 2015 than they did in 2012-13 and the decisions are more difficult. And, also, more of a gamble.
Other than Stassi and Fontana, which players are next up on the bubble if roster spots are needed between now and the end of the year.
Thank you St. Louis.
With the Cardinals now under FBI investigation, it's likely that the relationship with the team and Jeff Luhnow is a bit fragile. It's obvious that the Astros have taken quite a bit from St. Louis in the way of personnel, style and even philosophy, but if the Cardinals did indeed hack into the Astros' system, in a weird way, it will bolster Luhnow's credibility, if not his swagger with other GMs. While it may not directly impact his relationship with his peers, incidents like this tend to cement a person's role and legitimacy.
Luhnow and the Astros will gain from this if the charges are proven. But if high-level Cardinals executives are involved, it would certainly open a new era as those officials might leak other information that may not paint Luhnow in a good light.
How do you see this incident affecting Luhnow's position in the league and the relationships with the Cardinals and other organizations?
The 2015 season.
Obviously, this season will be up and down and very streaky, both for players and the team as a whole. For fans — and even for the media and the front office and on-field leadership — it could be excruciatingly painful at times. Whether or not the season is successful may not depend on whether Luhnow picks up a top of rotation pitcher or whether Vincent Velasquez or Lance McCullers Jr pitch a full season.
In fact, the tale of the season may depend on how manager A.J. Hinch handles the roster that Luhnow does give him. Hinch, in fact, may not have received enough of the credit for the success thus far, but if the Astros finish with 85 wins, he will have solidified his top candidacy for Manger of the Year honors.
Regardless, however, fans will have to be content with the streaky team for the remainder of this year.
What do you see as the key to success for the rest of 2015?
The damage with the breach, and leaking some of that information last year really put Luhnow in a bad light of sorts. No player wants to see (public to see) what the GM thinks, of him…….or that that GM has said some unkind things about him. Leaking info to the press about this team was REALLY not cool. Luhnow could come outta this smelling like rose, and I doubt any of it goes any where.
Pitching, pitching, pitching…….and MORE pitching. This team HAS to get the rotation settled, if they intend to stay in the race. I *love* the way the young guys have come up, and held their own, but you risk blowing out a talented arm if you push them too far. That is exactly why Luhnow is on the phone right now looking for a trade. I'm afraid you guys might be right, about Stassi, Grossman, Fontana, Hoes
ect…. But what do you get in return for a package of a few of these guys??? By the way…..Wojo is doing pretty darn good in Fresno right now.
I think I told you guys Reed and Phillips should be on an airplane to Texas……and
the LAST time I checked Corpus Christi is still in Texas. These guys are killing it in Lancaster, it's time now for them to move up……not at the AS break.
I gotta bad feeling for the next two games………Coors Field is where good pitchers go to *die*.
Yes, correct, CC is in Texas. I wrongly assumed you were speaking of Houston, Texas. Which brings me to Conrad Gregor. For a first baseman, he's hitting a pretty soft .270 something. He'll never be a homerun guy. Do you move him out of the way to see what Reed can do?
They can't all be superstars. Gregor is doing fine, but likely is not destined for the 40 man roster. It would be different if he could play more positions. I think he eventually loses ABs to Reed, but he may make it to Fresno if a trade frees up a spot for Singleton.
He has 3 HR for CC this year. I haven't really seen him since college, but he has a big frame and good bat control, so he may be able to increase the power numbers as a non-prospect, organizational type guy.
I'm a SEC baseball fan (LSU) and watched Kemp and Gregor in their Vanderbilt days on numerous occasions in the SEC tournament in Hoover Alabama. Kemp was a terror for everyone to face and Gregor was to me a player that might be drafted around the 12th round or so. I was surprised that Kemp lasted until the 5th round for the Astros,but was and am baffled as to what the Stros saw in Gregor to be their 4th round pick. I think Reed should be moved up as soon as possible and Gregor should be moved out of the system. I'm afraid that Kemp might be trade bait, but he would be a terrific utility player for us.
Totally agree with OP about Grossman and the interesting point he made about adding heat to the bullpen. Possibly they already believe Fields is that person, but I understand the possible risks there.
I also see Singleton being packaged. Carter, despite his potential power and his rather excellent fielding has, I believe, till after the AS break.
I suspect the computer break-in will be limited to lower level individuals, Luhnow will come out of this looking good, and yes, Hinch deserves tremendous credit, for a calm demeanor, excellent comminication skills with players, and overall smarts.
Note to Oberholtzer tonight:
Do NOT swing your bat……..PERIOD.
Folty optioned to AAA by the Braves
the key to a successful season is playing .500 or better ball the rest of the way.
All *KINDS* of hero to night!! Oberholtzer appeared to do very well tonight, and the homerun hit parade was in full bloom! Bad news tho….Altuve re-injured his right hammy…….so will they HAVE to make a move before Friday? Please, Please…….
NO Villerror. 😦 😦 😦 😦
Hold your breath……..Qualls is pitching.
Told ya……….grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
1st Who is next? What a difference a year or two make. We are talking about DFAs off the AAA roster. Not the MLB roster of 25. Now there are still a couple or three candidates on the MLB roster this year, but the minors are now blocking minors. #2 – St Louis. I can not believe anyone with a brain in the Cards did this. It makes no sense for anyone other than a low level nerd would hack and then post to an Anon site. I smarter thief would use the data if it had value. #3. Hinch is light years ahead of Porter. He does his job in the dugout and behind closed doors. He appears to be a professional manager. I don't agree with all of his moves, but I don't agree with everyone here. That's life.

In the 21st century it is more important than ever to include global education as an essential component of a school's curriculum. This paper showcases one innovative US charter school that created a mission to engage students in service learning in order to encourage their awareness of people and issues around the globe. The specific issues addressed are: 1) the rationale for inserting global education into the curriculum of schools, 2) how the pedagogy of service learning is able to advance goals of global understanding, and 3) how the school's vision is able to benefit both teachers and students.

I was so pleased with Dr. Kowalsky's professionalism. He was very thorough and spoke to me in "real talk" so that I understood what was going on with my shoulder. I also liked the fact that he told me if I had any questions or problems to feel free and call the office. I called him about a medication I was taking and his nurse got right back to me. I highly recommend Dr. Kowalsky. (comment from Health Grades)
I had a serious knee accident with 3 detached quad muscles at the age of 68. Dr. Kowalsky performed a surgical procedure to reattach them all. I'm able to ski and bike again! Recovery takes time but I'm very happy with the results. Thanks so much! (comment from Health Grades)
Thanks to Dr. Kowalsky my surgery went extremely well. I am mystified at how I am recovering faster than I had expected. (Patient Survey)

Dr. Kowalsky has really done an excellent job for me. (Patient Survey)
Dr. Kowalsky: It's almost a year since I met you in Greenwich Hospital. I want to thank you for the wonderful care and kind bedside manner you showed me over the past year. I'm so grateful you were the doctor on call that day. I don't know how I would have gotten this far without your gentle manner.. I have the utmost respect for you. Sincerely, SM
Dr. Kowalsky was kind and understanding of my desire to "get back" to rowing and dance. He took time to ask questions to understand my commitments to my teams and how important my attendance was at upcoming events. I appreciated his empathy and straight-forward options. He was a nice person too. – (Patient satisfaction survey)
It is always a great experience coming to see one the doctors here. The professionalism and great customer service keeps me coming back even though it is an hour drive for me! (Anonymous online patient satisfaction survey)

Bridgestone specializes in producing high quality tyres, which are supplied to several countries in the world. This particular model from the company named TURANZA AR20, is made of Flat Contact Patch (FCP) that gives a better contact area. It also prevents risk of tyre deformations, while increasing its life span. The use of advanced silica tread compound is an advantage as it aids in offering a matchless performance by reducing its rolling resistance.

Pirelli has made its mark in the tyre industry by offering only quality products to its customers. Out of the numerous models it has produced, this SCORPION ATR runs both on and off roads. It comes with a rugged tread that offers excellent traction when running on wet surfaces and protects a car from skidding. Meanwhile, the grip is also enhanced when it is driven on dry roads. It has the best braking ability that enables shorter stopping distances. Safety is guaranteed to a great extent especially at the time of taking turns. Furthermore, it is resistant to hydroplaning and stability is maintained all through the drive. On the whole, this radial has all the finest qualities that anyone could ask for in a tyre.

It works!! It actually works! I had my first "puree" meal tonight. I was convinced that it wasn't going to be much different from the soup I've been eating. Boy was I wrong. I was so excited as I was shopping after work, as I decided I was actually going to cook something up instead of eating soup from a can. So I cooked up some chicken mince with some canned tomatoes, tomato paste, zucchini, broccolini, mushrooms and garlic and then in another pot boiled up some potatoes, pumpkin and carrots. When they were all cooked, I blended the contents of the two pots in the blender for an instant yummy, real food tasting meal! I served up myself 1/2 a cup, which looked like nothing and thought for sure I'd be hungry when I finished. But I'd literally taken 6 or 7 teaspoons full when I began to feel full! I was shocked! I ate it really slowly and by the time I'd finished I was stuffed! I was proud of myself for remembering not to drink until at least half an hour after my meal. I finished my 1/2 a cup of mush dinner 2 hours ago and I'm still full! I'm in shock and happy!
So despite another bad start to the day (dramas getting to work and parking…2 hours!), I've ended the day on a high. I met up with Jan, the nurse from Dr Layani's rooms this morning at 7.30am. That was a quick appointment. She basically checked my cuts were healing ok (they were) and asked me how I was going and that was that! She also made an appointment for my first fill on the 22nd November with Dr Layani. Jan also confirmed that Dr Reid was amazing and that another one of her clients who used to be in bed for 2 days during her monthly cramps is now completely pain free thanks to Dr Reid! Now I have my hopes up that he'll be able to do the same for me!
While I was waiting for Jan in the waiting room, I read a paragraph of a book about bariatric surgery which said that women should not get pregnant for 1-2 years after surgery! I had a small panic attack and asked Jan about that and she said she'd never heard of that before and would confirm it with Dr Layani today and let me know next time I see her. Not that I'm pregnant…but I'm not on contraception and I'd like to be pregnant as soon as I can!
I also picked up the book that Felicity left behind for me. "Fighting Weight" by Khaliah Ali. Here's an exercept…I can't wait to read it!
"It was more than that I had kissed away my twenties and was miserable. I couldn't be naked with anybody, couldn't wear a backless dress, couldn't go to the beach—all the things a person should be able to do."
When Muhammad Ali's daughter Khaliah hit 325 pounds, she didn't need to be told again that she was morbidly obese. A lifetime of dieting, of starving, had not helped. She thought about gastric bypass surgery but couldn't pursue it after reading the statistic that as many as one in twenty-five people suffers complications, and sometimes death, from the operation. She could not afford to risk leaving her young son without a mother.
Miserable, depressed, and unable to walk up a flight of stairs without losing her breath, she did not know which way to turn—until a friend pointed her toward a new type of surgery called gastric banding. It is just as effective as gastric bypass with a fraction of potential complications. With the band placed around her stomach and completely taking away her hunger, Khaliah slimmed down to half her former size.
The band she used has been the surgical option of choice in Europe for more than a decade but is only just now arriving in the United States. It is sure to become number one here too. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding is reversible, is completely safe during pregnancy, involves no nutritional deficiencies, and best of all, takes away hunger forever, not just for the first year or so.
Khaliah wraps her story of weight loss in this memoir of what it was like to grow up the daughter of one of the world's most famous men, and teams up with her surgeons at the New York University Medical Center to detail the lifetime of misery suffered by an obese girl; the ins and outs of the banding operation; and the joy, serenity, and health resulting from a solution that until now had eluded her.
Food for today:
Optifast shake
Skim cap
1/3 can Heinz Moroccan spicy lamb, chickpea and cous cous soup with Trim milk added
Skim cap
1/2 cup Blended chicken mince, tomoto paste, canned tomatoes, zucchini, brocollini, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, pumpkin

Kayak Safety
Click HERE to return to Mr. Fix-It's Home Page
There are basic safety rules that all boaters should follow. As with all recreational activities, there is always the possibility of injury or death. Always use common sense and follow all safety rules at all times.
• Never mix alcohol or drugs (prescription or non-prescription) with boating.
• Never exceed the weight capacity of your boat and always check your equipment for wear and tear before you paddle.
• Seek qualified instruction to learn proper paddling techniques, water safety and basic first aid.
• Wear your life jacket. Coast Guard regulations require that all kayaks have a lifejacket on board. Wearing your lifejacket will help keep your head above water and add insulation to your body, keeping you warmer in cold water.
• Tell someone your paddle plan, which includes: where you are going, what you will be doing, how long you expect to be gone and how many people are in your party. Then stick to your plan.
• Paddling in the surf zone or in rivers can be dangerous. Always wear a helmet.
• Be aware of weather conditions and water temperature. Prepare for changes in weather and the possibility of a capsize. If paddling in cold water, a wet suit or dry suit can keep you warm and comfortable. In warm weather, a long sleeve shirt can provide sun protection.
• Stay hydrated. Always bring plenty of water and food.
• Beware of off-shore winds that make it difficult to return to shore.
• When paddling in a new area, check with the locals regarding currents, shoreline conditions and weather patterns. Plan an "escape" route - an alternative place to get off the water should environmental conditions dictate it. Abiding by these rules will help to make your kayak adventure safer and fun.

Bitter Bite(Elemental Assassin #14)(72) by Jennifer Estep
"Um, Gin?" Bria asked. "Do you see those security cameras pointed right at you?"
She frowned. "And you're not worried that Deirdre's spotted us already on the feed?"
"If you were taking over a bank and planning to pick it clean, what's the first thing you would do after you got inside?"
She thought about it. "Disable the security system and erase all the footage."
I shot my thumb and forefinger at her. "Bingo. Deirdre doesn't want any record that she was ever here, and she doesn't want to accidentally trip any alarms getting into the cash cages or the basement vault. That's why the cameras are down, along with the rest of the security system. She doesn't realize it, but she's made it a whole lot easier for us to get inside."
I looked at the lock again. I didn't want to waste precious time picking it, so I reached for my Ice magic, ready to freeze and shatter the lock—
And that's when the dead bolt clicked free, and the door started opening.
Bria dashed around the corner and out of sight, but I didn't have time to do that, so I ended up darting behind the door and hoping that whoever was opening it wouldn't think to look behind it.
A giant dressed in a gray bank guard's uniform strode through the door and took several steps out onto the roof. I held my hands up, catching the door before it slammed into my face, then peered around the edge of it. The guard looked around, his hand dropping to his black leather utility belt, as if he were going for the gun holstered there. I palmed a knife and tensed, ready to move. But instead of reaching for his weapon, the giant grabbed the walkie-talkie off his belt, hit a button on the side, and brought the device up to his lips.
"The roof is secure. You want me to hang out up here or come back down and help the other guys with the cash cages while you work on the vault?" the guy asked, then let go of the button and waited for a response.
Static crackled out of the walkie-talkie. "I've got the vault covered, and Ralph and the others are cutting through the cages right now. Stay up there. I don't want anyone trying to get in here from any angle, not even the roof."
That was Santos's voice. So he had men working in the lobby, but he was down in the basement vault. That's where Deirdre would be too, and most likely Finn.
The guy sighed and pressed the button on the walkie-talkie again. "Roger that. Call me when you need me."
"Roger that," Santos replied.
The guy sighed again, louder and deeper, disappointed that he wasn't in on the action down in the lobby. He holstered his walkie-talkie and turned to close the access door behind him.
Right where I was waiting.
His eyes bulged, but he didn't even have time to scream before I stepped up and sliced my knife across his throat. The giant clutched both hands to the vicious wound, trying to put pressure on the gaping hole, even as his legs slid out from under him and he toppled to the ground.
"I'll take that," I said, bending down and plucking the walkie-talkie off his belt.
The guy coughed, but that was the only noise he made as he bled out. I turned the walkie-talkie back on, hoping to hear some chatter from Santos and his crew, but the device remained silent. They were probably too busy breaking into the vault and the cash cages to talk right now. Good. That meant that no one would miss this guard for several minutes, if not longer. I turned off the walkie and slid it into one of the pockets on my vest.
Bria stepped out from behind the corner, gun in hand. "What now?"
"Now we go down into the belly of the beast." I held my hand out, gesturing at the dark corridor that led into the bank. "Ladies first."
She nodded, raised her weapon, and stepped through the door into the shadows.
Bloody knife in hand, I followed her.
We were in.
First Trust bank was housed in an old prewar building, so it wasn't nearly as tall as the modern skyscrapers that made up the downtown skyline. But it took up the entire block, which meant that there was a lot of ground to cover.
The fire stairs were wide enough for Bria and me to creep down side by side. I stopped at every floor, but the doors were all locked, and I didn't hear any movements on the other sides, much less see anyone through the narrow strips of glass in the doors. No one was working up here in the offices, and Santos hadn't bothered to station any guards on the higher floors. Excellent.
Bria and I quietly went down the stairs to the second floor. Once we were on the landing there, I leaned over the side of the railing and peered down. Sure enough, a guard was stationed in the stairwell on the first floor, leaning against the open door, thumbing through screens on his phone, totally bored by his assignment.
I motioned to Bria to draw back, then made two Ice picks and unlocked the door on the second-floor landing. I winced at the snick of the door opening, and Bria and I scooted through to the other side and eased the door shut behind us. We flattened ourselves against the wall, out of sight of the strip of glass in the door, and waited, but the guard didn't come to investigate.
"We're stuck," Bria said. "We can't get past that guard without letting everyone in the lobby know that we're here."
"Yes, we can. We just have to be a little more creative. This way."
The second floor was mostly offices and cubicles, reserved for some of the investment bankers and their assistants or rented out to real-estate and other companies that had extensive dealings with the bank. I stopped a moment, orienting myself, then went over to the opposite side of the building, pushed through a wooden door, and stopped. Bria slipped in behind me and looked around at the urinals, stalls, and sinks.
