- Want a weekly review of refining news?
InterOil Corporation (NYSE: IOC) (POMSoX: IOC) ("InterOil" or the "Company") has agreed to sell to Total S.A. (CAC: TOT; NYSE: TOT) a gross 61.3% interest in Petroleum Retention License 15 ("PRL15") which contains the Elk-Antelope gas fields in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea, and has also granted Total an exclusive right to negotiate a farm-in to all its exploration licenses in Papua New Guinea.
Agreements covering the sale and purchase of the PRL 15 interests, proposed liquefied natural gas ("LNG") project, and the exploration farm-in rights, were signed today in Port Moresby by InterOil's chief executive Dr. Michael Hession and Total Exploration & Production Senior Vice President Asia Pacific, Jean-Marie Guillermou.
The transaction price depends on appraisal and certification of Elk-Antelope, with illustrative payments of approximately US$1.5 billion – US$3.6 billion, *for a range of 5.4 trillion to 9.0 trillion cubic feet of hydrocarbon gas equivalent ("tcfe").
The agreement with Total provides for fixed and variable resource-based payments:
Fixed payments to InterOil include US$613 million on transaction completion, which is expected in Q1 2014; US$112 million on a final investment decision for a new LNG plant; and US$100 million at first LNG cargo from the proposed LNG facility.
In addition to these fixed amounts, variable payments for amounts in excess of 3.5 Tcfe for the gas resource will depend on certification by two independent certifiers following up to three appraisal wells to be drilled in PRL15.
In addition, Total has agreed to make a payment of US$100 million per tcfe for volumes over one tcfe for additional resources discovered in PRL15 from one exploration well. Any payment would be made at first gas from the proposed Elk-Antelope LNG facility.
Total will carry the cost of the drilling for the appraisal well program. The program and certification of Elk-Antelope is expected to be completed in 2015.
Total will lead construction of and operate the proposed integrated LNG project, a final investment decision on which will follow reserves certification, basis of design and front-end engineering and design.
Total also has an option to take an interest in all of InterOil's exploration leases in Papua New Guinea (PPLs 236, 237 and 238), which InterOil will continue to operate. Total and InterOil have also agreed to explore other business opportunities both in Papua New Guinea and elsewhere in the Asia Pacific region.
Today's agreement follows an extensive international competitive bidding and evaluation process for development of InterOil's interests in Papua New Guinea.
Dr. Hession said today's transformational, company-making transaction would significantly benefit InterOil shareholders and the Papua New Guinea people.
Dr. Michael Hession, InterOil Corporation Chief Executive Officer, commented,
"It is satisfying that Total, one of the world's largest international oil and gas companies, shares our faith in developing Elk-Antelope, a world-class hydrocarbon resource and one of the largest discoveries in Asia in the past 20 years.
"Total is a world-class operator and will bring experience and expertise to a development that will diversify Papua New Guinea's hydrocarbon sector.
"InterOil, with more than 1,000 employees, is already a significant contributor to Papua New Guinea's economy and we remain confident that this deal will lead to continued investment, increased Government revenue and job creation, particularly in the Gulf Province.
"We will work alongside Total to help develop further expertise among Papua New Guineans in the country's oil and gas industry.
"We will also work with the Papua New Guinea Government to develop proposals for setting aside gas for generation of affordable electricity throughout Papua New Guinea. "This is a great day for InterOil's investors, Papua New Guinea, and the people who work for us."
Dr. Hession added that the transaction was a key to meeting the company's priority objectives of maximising shareholder value, monetising Elk-Antelope, progressing development of an integrated LNG project, strengthening its financial position, and continuing its extensive exploration program.
Funds from the transaction will be applied to retiring debt, exploring and appraising activities and to funding InterOil's share of the Elk-Antelope development.
Gaylen Byker, InterOil Corporation Chairman and Board Member, commented,
"Today's transaction was a landmark for investors, who had stuck by the company since its formation in 1997. This is a significant event in the company's history, and we look forward to growing this company along with Total for the benefit of our shareholders and for Papua New Guinea."
The transaction is expected to complete in Q1 2014.
InterOil was advised by Credit Suisse.
Completion of the agreements is subject to conditions, including government approvals and acquisition of the minority interests in PRL15.
These conditions are expected to be satisfied by Q1 2014.
Agreements have been reached with most of the minority interest holders in PRL 15.

This Mental Health Week it is important to recognize the magnitude of the situation we are all facing. COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the way we live our lives. Feeling fear, uncertainty, stress, and worry is a normal reaction to unprecedented circumstances.
We are making sacrifices, taking precautions and changing our daily lives to protect ourselves and loved ones from a physical threat.
But let's not forget the threat to our mental health as well. Some people have lost important support systems and safe spaces to escape. Some are struggling with isolation and drowning in overwhelm. Now, more than ever, we need to be honest with ourselves.
If you are experiencing anxiety, fear, violence, depression, problematic substance use or any other mental health concerns, there is help.
Many of the local counselling centres have adjusted their practices to provide phone or video conferencing sessions. The mental health providers in our communities are working tirelessly to support and help those who need them.
The Government of Canada recently launched a new portal dedicated to mental wellness and issues related to substance use. There, you will find a safe place to talk, share, and support others. Wellness Together Canada provides you with resources in your home to help you reflect on and process the thoughts and feelings you might be experiencing. The portal contains live classes, guided mindfulness practices, reflection exercises, and connects you with peer support workers, psychologists, and trained professionals to talk about what you're experiencing in an environment that's comfortable for you. This resource is free, confidential and available to all Canadians at ca.portal.gs
People in our communities are facing incredible challenges. Be kind to each other, and to yourself.

Woody Preucil of 13D Global Strategy and Research recently joined the FS Insider podcast to discuss the new wave of technological innovation we've seen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. He explains how airports and cities are implementing health surveillance technology and what role AI is playing as well. See below for excerpts from his interview with FS Insider.
For audio, see The Birth of Global Health Surveillance.
You've had some really good insights between what we see today with COVID-19 and what we saw during 9/11. Can you share some of those insights?
Shortly after 9/11, we wrote a report that made the case that a new global security industry was being created. We wrote that first, screening of weapons and explosives would become standard at airports, and, then ultimately, all public venues. We've tracked land and border security, seaports, biosecurity, cyber security and overall home security very closely since then and it's become a major industry.
We think the same thing is going to happen with this pandemic. The world is losing the battle against infectious diseases. The number of infectious outbreaks has been rising exponentially since 1980 and there have been over 100 new viruses identified. As you know, most countries still have some sort of border closure or lockdown in effect, though they're starting to reopen now. But you know, most of the world has been locked down. And so we don't know exactly how it's going to look. But Hong Kong may provide some insight.

In Hong Kong, as soon as you get off the plane, they put a GPS tracker wristband on your wrist, and then they shuttle you over to a large conference area where you're tested for COVID-19. You're social distancing in this conference area and it's very large, almost like a stadium. Then from there, they shuttle passengers to a holding area, which is basically a converted hotel. The whole process takes at least 18 hours before you're able to leave the airport. Then you have a wristband tracker on, and you've got to stay self-quarantined for two weeks until you can go outside.
Yeah, I don't think we're going to be able to implement something like that here.
Well, so we don't know exactly what it's going to look like. But I think in general, we're going to have thermal cameras and scanners at security checkpoints. The recent guidelines from airlines are that you must wear a mask when you're in the airport and on a plane. I've read that Emirates Airlines is testing people before they get on the plane depending on the destination and the rules in that country. It could be a scenario where you have initial thermal screening, or some type of screening, antibody test, rapid antibody test or rapid diagnostic tests. Then depending on that, you go to the next step.
Interestingly, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) recently developed a diagnostic test for COVID-19 that's able to diagnose if someone has the disease within 24 hours of infection. So that's before you would be feeling any symptoms and it's before you would be able to infect anybody else.
There are rapid advances being made technology-wise. That DARPA test will be available later this month, I understand. You know, you could play out a scenario in your mind where you have a test every day to see if you have this disease, and then you take appropriate action from there. But I think it's a huge industry that's just starting to emerge now. And we'll have to track it very closely.
We discussed the intersection of health surveillance technology and COVID-19; what role has AI been playing?
I think AI is playing a role in virtually every aspect, not only for surveillance, but tracking the spread of the disease is one of the first areas. There is a startup called BlueDot. It's a Canadian AI startup and they warned about the coronavirus outbreak on December 31. And that was nearly a week before the World Health Organization or the CDC and it's because they were using an AI program to analyze data for global airline ticket sales.
They correctly predicted the outbreak and, beyond that, they were able to predict the spread of the coronavirus to Tokyo, Bangkok, Seoul and Taipei based on the sales of airline tickets. They did that by analyzing unstructured text data in 65 languages every 15 minutes using natural language processing and machine learning. There are other startups that are doing that kind of thing, too.
AI is also being used in developing a cure for coronavirus. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations announced early on three technology-driven programs to develop a vaccine within 16 weeks versus processes normally taking years. It's a combination of DNA sequencing and machine learning to narrow down good candidates and I think there's been a lot of promise there.
I think the pandemic is forcing greater digitization of the economy and I think AI will play an important role in this. Not only in terms of overall digitization, but it's boosting the internet infrastructure because now you have a lot of workers at home. It's going to help drive 5G deployments and promote greater automation, particularly if we go into a kind of a rolling lockdown scenario where we have a second wave. Whether it's either in the fall or on a more rolling basis, it's going to encourage more automation.
For instance, the trend of warehouse robots was taking off before the pandemic. That's just going to be accelerated now and that's a huge opportunity. Less than 10% of warehouses are automated, at the moment. Certainly, there are companies like Amazon, which have a higher level of automation, but overall, the vast majority of the supply chain still uses rack shelving, lots of floor space and human labor.
Automation has a huge potential. Even before the pandemic, there was a warehouse in China, in Shanghai and it's the world's first human-less warehouse, basically operated by robots only. It was launched by a Japanese startup for Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com. And basically, instead of having 500 human workers needed to manage a warehouse of similar size, this facility only has five employees who basically just service the machines. So that's the direction and companies will be incentivized to use that.
Another point that I would make is also in terms of greater digitization of the economy. This is going transform supply chains because you can move the actual production of the end product closer to the consumer. This allows businesses to eliminate risk in their supply chains, and we've certainty seen a lot of issues with global supply chains in relation to COVID-19.

It's no secret. There's no magic answer, either. Toddlers don't sit still, and will NOT follow directions when you're trying to take a photo of them. You saw the photos of my mom's beautiful roses… well after she clipped them all off, the girls thought it'd be fun to play with them. Everyone else just saw two cute girls playing with roses – I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY.
Here are some fun photos of my beautiful niece Luna Mia, and my little girl Alexandria Sofia being themselves in front of my camera.

Hudson Ultra Bar in New Jersey with D.A.S. Audio SoundForce sound systems
Billed as Hoboken's premiere ultra venue, the Hudson Ultra Bar is a state-of-the-art music, dance, and entertainment facility that gives new meaning to the nightclub scene. This venue defines what DJ music and entertainment is all about. To ensure the best music reproduction capabilities, the Hudson Ultra Bar deployed loudspeaker equipment specifically designed for this type of environment. That's why they chose Sound Force Series loudspeakers from Valencia, Spain-based D.A.S. Audio.
"The Hudson Ultra Bar is an open-format, multi-level dance club with elaborate VIP accommodations and a large, raised catwalk-style DJ Booth. With two levels, there is approximately 6,000 square feet of space. Music is a driving factor of the activity in this club, so having the ability to produce the necessary sound pressure levels while keeping the music's sound true to form was crucial to this installation."
To provide coverage throughout the venue, Ojeda and his crew flew two D.A.S. Audio Sound Force SF-20A powered mid-high biamplified enclosures—one each for the left and right sides of the main dance floor and bar area. Low frequency support is provided by two SF-30A powered subwoofers, which incorporate Powersoft's 30-inch M-Force Moving Magnet Transducer, with one enclosure each ground stacked for the left and right sides and positioned under the VIP and stairwell areas.
The Hudson Ultra Bar has both first and second floor delay systems. The ground floor incorporates seven D.A.S. Audio SF-10A powered 2-way enclosures plus four SF-26 2-way passive enclosures with dual 6-inch cones and a 1-inch HF driver, along with two D.A.S. Artec 322 bass reflex sub bass enclosures. On the second level, this setup is essentially repeated, but with ten D.A.S. SF-10A powered 2-way enclosures instead of seven, as on the lower level.
Rounding out the all-encompassing SR system, there are two weatherized D.A.S. Audio WR-8826 2-way passive enclosures with dual 6-inch transducers plus a 1-inch annular diaphragm compression driver. In the upper level restrooms, there are four CL-6TB flush mount ceiling speakers that utilize a sing 6-inch transducer. Keeping the DJ booth involved in the action, Ojeda and his crew placed two Sound Force S-10A 2-way enclosures accompanied by a single Artec 322S bass reflex subwoofer equipped with dual 12-inch transducers. For those passive loudspeaker systems, power is provided by a combination of four D.A.S. Audio D-100 4-channel power amps, two PA-1500 stereo, and two PA-900 stereo power amplifiers.
When queried about those aspects of the Sound Force Series loudspeakers that made them so well suited to this project, Ojeda offered the following thoughts, "We chose the SF-20 as the mains because of its amazing intelligibility in the vocal range. The Hudson Ultra Bar is now the second install with the SF-20 and it truly sounds like a pair of B&W 802¹s and you are sitting in your living room!"
Ojeda was equally enthusiastic about D.A.S. Audio Miami's customer and technical support services. "The entire D.A.S. staff is always ready to assist and ensure the job proceeds as planned and is done correctly. They are on top of their game in a big way."
Mike Citarella, owner of the Hudson Ultra Bar, concurs, "This DAS sound system is amazing. The sound is crystal clear, our customers love it, and best of all, the delivery of the sound fills the club without being so loud that you have to scream at one another. People can actually carry on conversations without yelling. D.A.S. has delivered big-time for us!"

This time, the dough is the Italian bread that uses durum flour which gives the bread a golden color and good crumb. The filling is the combination of ham, mozzarella cheese, olive and basil (actually, I think there could be a lot of possibility, sauté onion can be great too, or fill it up with whatever your heart desired ^ ^. But beware of the saltiness of the filling, as the dough is a bit salty, or you can reduce the salt from 1 tbsp to 2 tsp, and your bread will raise a bit faster than the giving time.)
If you don't have the durum flour, you can use all bread flour, but the texture of the bread will be more like foccacia.
Anyway, this bread is really great esp. when you going to a picnic, because the dough cover all the filling inside, just slice it when you ready to eat, and enjoy the freshness and deliciousness of this bread.
Instant yeast
300 ml (1/2 pint)
Tepid water
2 tablespoons
Olive oil
1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon
Flaked salt
150 g (5 oz)
Durum wheat flour
270 g (9 1/2 oz)
Bread flour
| |
200 g (7 oz)
Mozzarella cheese
200 g (7 oz)
1 handful of pitted olives
| |
1 bunch of fresh basil
| |
Use large spoon (or pastry scraper) to mix everything together, and knead briefly to bring all the ingredients together.
Take the dough out of the bowl and knead.
Knead by using the heel of your hands to compress and push the dough away from you, then fold it back over itself (see the picture here). Give the dough a little turn and repeat. Put the weight of your body into the motion and get into a rhythm. Keep folding over and compressing the dough.
Knead for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is soft, pliable, smooth and slightly shiny, almost satiny, the dough will stop sticking to your hand but it will be a bit blister from the grain of the durum flour.
Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave the dough to prove for about 30 minutes.
Press the dough into a rectangle about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick. Don't roll it as then the air trapped in the dough wilt be squeezed out.
Place the mozzarella cheese and put in layers with the hams, olives and basil on top of the dough.
Brush the edges with water and roll up the dough as you would a Swiss roll. Shape it into a circle.
Brush the edges with water and roll up the dough as you would a Swiss roll. Shape it into a circle.
Preheat the oven to 250°C/500°F/9as 10.
Put the loaf onto a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper, and leave to prove under a tea towel for about 30 minutes.
Put the bread in the oven, then reduce the temperature to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and bake for 20—25 minutes or until golden brown.

The notebook dates back to the late 1800s. "From 1897 through 1903, this one person had written every page with any court case that had gone on, the judgment, how much they owed, and their fines," said Lewelling about the book, which he found while going through the belongings of his late father.

Mridangam is hailed as the 'King of drums' today as it is the product of years of experiments of our ancestors with the various rhythm and percussion instruments to get this most suited and refined instrument for classical Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam.
There have been references of an instrument such as modern mridangam in its stages of metamorphosis in the ancient past. Paintings in the Ajantha caves show the use of this instrument in the past. In the inscriptions at Lord Nataraja temple at Chidambaram, the sculpture with the name 'lalaada thilakam' an actor is seen accompanied by two musicians playing the mridangam.
"Mrith" means mud and "angam" means body. As the body of the instrument was made of mud it got its present name. The instrument has seen a transformation and today's mridangam is made out of a single wood piece of Jackwood or Teakwood. The right side of the instrument is covered with three layers of skin – the inner most with calf's skin and the others with goat' skin. A black paste is stuck in the middle of the skin with a hemispherical finish, which is composed of Magnesium, Tamarind syrup and boiled rice. This is called as "Soru", "Karanai" or "Marundhu" etc. The left side of the instrument has two layers of skin, one of the buffalo and the other of goat. The two sides are fastened together with "Vaaru", which is buffalo's skin to keep the pitch of the instrument.
The legend holds that, Lord Siva danced to destroy 'Tripura' and only for the Lord the instrument of mridangam was created by Brahma and it was first played by Lord Ganapathy. 'Mridangam' was originally referred to as "Thannumai" in ancient times and perhaps was called by different names at different periods until it has reached the present form as we see it today.
Though mridangam may be used for all classical dance forms, it has been associated with Bharatanatyam from time its inception and perhaps also with Kuchipudi today. This is because it is most suited to classical Carnatic music that is sung for Bharatanatyam. One may wonder that the mridangist has no big role to play in a Bharatanatyam recital as there is a 'nattuvanar' doing the 'nattuvangam' (playing the cymbals) which is not so in the case of a Carnatic-vocal music concert. Mridangam is an indispensable accompaniment for Bharatanatyam. Though the 'nattuvanar' plays the cymbals and also verbally expresses the 'sollu'-s the mridangistsynchronises the dancer's movements to the jathi and correspondingly to the song as a thread in a garland. The work of the nattuvanar and the mridangist may seem somewhat similar but I would say that the mridangist's job is more complex. There is a wrong notion that mridangam playing for dance does not require expertise as everything is pre-set and practiced. This idea should be condemned as the dance mridangist needs to be equally qualified and equipped like a Carnatic classical vocal mridangist, if not more. The dance mridangist is expected to exhibit his knowledge and expertise within the limited framework of the time along with the job of embellishing the item.
Nuances of Mridangam in Bharatnatyam:
I. NAADHAM vs VIVAHAARAM:
* The primary duty cast upon the mridangist is to assist the dancer in establishing the context, theme, mood and aid in the audience joining the experience. Hence the playing should be in such a manner complimentary to the expressions, emotions and the movements of the dancer. If he wishes to show his individuality, there are places like 'Aradhi', 'Shuddha nritham', etc., where he can bring out his depth in knowledge. However, it should always be borne in mind that one is a mridangist accompanying a dancer.
* More than attempting to show your individuality by employing complex 'jathis' (expressions of rhythm) it will be advisable to play with 'Naadham' (finesse) what the dancer dances. This will surely gain more appreciation in the audience.
* Mathematics will surely be superseded by 'Margam" gimmicks, with just deploying the nuance of the instrument here and there.
II. TRADITIONAL vs IMPROVISATION:
There is no coded tradition in playing mridangam for dance. Dance has seen a renaissance, so have the dance accompaniments. In fact, in the past the entire orchestra had to run behind the dancer and play, as it was tradition then. Today, we find that a separate platform is laid by the side of the stage, where the orchestra sits and accompanies the dancer at ease. We do not aim at killing tradition by improvisation, but only to add flavour to the item. The mridangist is at liberty to embellish the dance with his improvised playing. Imagination makes an artiste superior to any mundane person, so it can be said that there is no prohibition to using our imagination to suit the modern trends and tastes in helping the dancer to achieve the best possible 'Rasa'.
In a Bharatanatyam Margam, starting with the 'Pushpaanjali which comprises of Salutations to God, Guru, the gathering and all present at the recital for the success of the programme, we go on to the 'Alaarippu' which is pure dance without expression, so the mridangam playing can be sharp and firm. Next comes the 'Jatheeswaram' in which there is melody too but here again there are no expressions of emotions or any meaning conveyed by the dancer so mridangist has a chance to shine. The mridangist must give importance to the 'Raagam' and the movements of the dancer in this number. Next is the 'Shabdam' where there are lyrics in the song and the dancer performs 'abhinaya' (expressions). Here the playing should be softened during the lyrics vis-à-vis 'abhinaya' portion. As usually a 'Shabdam' is in 'Misrachapu Thaalam', the various 'nadai-s' may be incorporated here. The 'Varnam' is the most important and comprehensive number in a 'Margam', here there is 'abhinaya', jathi', 'swaram', and above all lyrics concentrated on a definite theme or concept. To establish the 'Rasa' at its best, the mridangist has to play skilfully. There are places where he should abstain from playing, as 'not playing' betters playing certain times. 'Varnam' is followed by a 'Padam' where the instrument should convey the mood of the item. Hence, generally the mridangist is supposed to know the meaning of lyrics and emotion exhibited in every song. 'Javali' follows the 'padam' where the lighter expression should be borne in mind and the difference should reflect in the playing. 'Tillana' comes as a finale to the 'margam' where the mridangam should join the crescendo of movements, expressions and emotions. The 'Mangalam' is a formal end to the recital.

Even though you've likely had it many times, there is probably a world of knowledge that you don't actually know about asparagus. This veggie is a common favorite in springtime and is packed with nutrients but, strangely enough, most of us don't really know much about it.
Before you head to the first farmers market this spring, find out a little bit about asparagus. You may discover that you're suddenly far more interested in what you can do to include this veggie in your diet more often.
The following are some of the facts about asparagus that are the most interesting and yet least known. See if you've heard of these before and, if you have, give yourself a pat on the back. If you haven't, you'll be able to share a little bit of helpful trivia with your family the next time you serve it at dinnertime.
· Asparagus is believed to be helpful for hangover prevention – Many people believe that if you eat asparagus before consuming alcohol, it reduces your risk of hangover symptoms the next day. Most of the evidence supporting this life hack is anecdotal and scientific evidence is very limited. That said, many people swear by the effects of this vegetable for this purpose.
· Eating asparagus makes your urine smell funny, but you may not be able to smell it – There is a widespread belief that asparagus affects the odor of some people's urine and not that of others. However, the truth is that it impacts everyone. However, not everyone has the gene necessary to smell it.
· Asparagus is often considered a superfood – This veggie is crammed full of nutrients and fiber. It's one of the best foods to grab at the spring farmer's market or even to grow in your own backyard garden. It's a fantastic way to make sure any meal has a lot of nutrient punch. Your body will love you for adding it to the recipes and dishes you serve throughout the spring and early summer.
When you're looking for a springtime veggie that you can buy locally and enjoy fresh with as many nutrients as possible, asparagus should certainly find its way to the top of your list. Consider trying it baked with olive oil and garlic for a very simple and flavorful dish. Alternately, it can be added to quiches or stews or can simply be steamed. Want a truly surprising flavor? Simply wash the stalks, cut off the lower woody end and break it up into a salad. They taste great raw, too!

Introducing GBPCAD
The GBPCAD currency pair is a combination of the Great British Pound, or GBP, and The Canadian Dollar, or CAD. The GBP is the national currency for the UK while the CAD is the national currency for Canada. The GBP is the fifth most traded currency in the world while the CAD is the sixth most traded currency in the world. Together, the GBPCAD is the sixth most popular currency pair in the world. Both their nations are ruled by the royal family. They are both among the most developed countries in the world and are therefore a part of the G8. Since they don't contain the USD, they're also known as a cross-currency pair. Since they have a low trading volume, they're also known as a minor currency pair. Let's dig into how they function as individuals before we get into the good stuff.
The Great British Pound
The British Pound is the official currency of the United Kingdom and its Dependent Territories. It is the world's fifth most used currency in terms of volume. It is also the world's oldest form of payment and is commonly referred to as the "Quid" among locals. It is still one of the most important currencies in the world today.
The pound was acknowledged as equivalent to 1lb of silver as early as 775AD. Following England's defeat against France in 1694, the newly founded Bank of England began printing Pound notes, which quickly became globally known. The Bank of England is in charge of creating this valuable form of payment. In the early 18th century, the value of the pound was linked to gold weight rather than silver weight. However, in order to finance its war expenses during World War I, the government discontinued the use of gold as a method of payment. It briefly reverted to the gold standard after the war, but the outbreak of World War II forced the country's currency to be fixed. It only became free-floating again after the 1970s.
The Canadian Dollar
The Canadian dollar is the national currency of Canada, the maple country. The Canadian Dollar is the sixth most used currency in terms of the trading volume. Canada has used the Canadian Pound as its currency since 1841. This occurred during the British Empire's rule. The United States, on the other hand, quickly became the most preferred currency, and the USD quickly surpassed all other currencies. In order to enhance ties with the United States, Canada established the Canadian Dollar as its national currency in 1858.
The Bank of Canada is in charge of producing CAD notes. Canadians are well-known for their humor and the liveliness that they bring to the English language. They frequently use the same term to refer to their paper notes. The $1 note is commonly referred to as a 'Loonie,' while the $2 note is referred to as a 'Toonie.'
Why Trade GBPCAD
Both the UK and Canada are ruled by the British royal family. Despite this, they have their own currencies and their own currency correlations. Here are the top reasons to trade the GBPCAD currency pair:
Cross-Currency Pair
One of the most compelling reasons to trade the GBPCAD pair is that it is a cross-currency. As a result, they may greatly contribute to the diversification of your asset portfolio. Trading a currency pair that includes the USD presents a number of complications. In business, the most commonly utilized currency is the US dollar. As a result, when there is an inconvenience, it suffers the greatest. Any significant economic event that occurs anywhere in the globe has a direct influence on the value of the USD. As a result, the majority of the time, every dollar currency pair will face unfavorable trading circumstances. To reduce market volatility, some traders prefer trading currencies that do not include the USD. The GBPCAD is an excellent illustration of this sort of currency. The GBP and CAD are two of the most widely used currencies in the world.
Market Predictability
Identifying market conditions for GBPCAD appears to be rather convenient. This is owing to the fact that changes in their respective nations, namely the United Kingdom and Canada, have the greatest impact on them. Because the USD is the main currency for worldwide commerce, any changes anywhere in the globe would affect a pair that included the USD. Similarly, any changes in any of the European Union's 28 member countries would have an effect on a pair including the Euro. As a result, it becomes impossible to keep track of every place that may have an influence on a currency pair. Currency pairs that are strictly related to a certain region, such as GBPCAD, are significantly easier to predict since we just need to measure the economic developments in their own countries.
Market Correlations
The connections between forex pairs such as the GBPCAD and other assets in the market are compelling reasons to trade them. This is shown in the example of the British Pound, which has strong linkages with commodities like electrical machinery and transportation. These are the country's most popular exports. It is especially noticeable in the case of the Canadian Dollar, which has significant ties to commodities such as gold and crude oil.
This is because they are involved in the exporting of these expensive goods. As a result, trading this pair becomes much easier since if we understand the direction of the commodities market, we can easily comprehend the direction of the GBPCAD market. Later, we'll look through how these commodities will impact the movement of the GBPCAD currency pair in further depth.
GBPCAD Trading Tips
As we've mentioned previously, the GBPCAD are two different currencies that are being controlled by the same royal family. As a result, it presents some unique market conditions. In order to properly trade in these market conditions, there are trading strategies meant specifically for this currency pair. Following are some top trading tips for GBPCAD:
Trade Timings
Just because the forex markets are open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, does not mean all currency pairs should be traded round the clock. Currency pairs like the GBPCAD are most active during the European session. This is between 8 am and 5 pm GMT. However, most UK data is released between 7 am and 9:30 am GMT while most Canadian data is released between 1:30 pm and 3 pm GMT. Therefore, you should keep these timings in mind when trading the GBPCAD currency pair.
Day Trading
Day trading is a trading approach in which a trade is opened and closed on the same day. Before the market stops, all deals, whether profitable or not, must be finalized. Scalping is a popular trading approach for this trading strategy. Traders would open a BUY and SELL position at the same rate for the same currency pair. This allows them to benefit regardless of how the market swings. They profit from the alternative position they take when the market declines. This method is ideal for the GBPCAD since this volatile pair may be rather unstable at times. Day trading, more especially scalping, is an effective approach for collecting gains between altering market circumstances during periods of volatility.
Range Trading
Range trading is the process of determining when to join a trade by evaluating support and resistance levels. The resistance levels are represented by the highest points on a given chart. Similarly, the lowest points on a specific chart signify levels of support. Understanding where these highs and lows are located is crucial to the range trading strategy. For example, if the price is reaching a resistance level and you feel it will hold, you might enter a SELL order. This is also referred to as cutting it short. Similarly, if the price reaches a level of support that you feel will hold, you may place a BUY order. Going long is another term for doing this.
Factors Affecting GBPCAD
Both the UK and Canada are very different countries in all aspects including regions and correlations. Due to this, they present some very unique circumstances when traded as a currency pair. Here are the top factors affecting GBPCAD:
The Gold Industry
Canada is one of the world's leading exporters of gold and other precious metals. Any changes in demand for this commodity have a significant impact on the value of Canada's economy. If global demand for gold rises, Canada will be able to export it more frequently, increasing the value of the Canadian dollar.
As a result, the value of GBPCAD would fall. Asian wedding seasons are the finest illustration of when gold demand often skyrockets. Similarly, if global demand for gold declines, Canada will be unable to export as much as normal, causing the CAD to fall in value. As a result, the value of GBPCAD would rise.
The Electrical Machinery Industry
The United Kingdom is a major supplier of electrical machinery. As a result, its economy is heavily reliant on global demand for these items. Any changes in the demand for electrical machinery will have an immediate influence on the value of the pound. If demand for electrical machinery falls, the UK will not export as many of them, leading the GBP to depreciate. This would cause GBPCAD to fall in value. Similarly, when global demand for electrical machinery grows, the UK will export more of it, and the value of the GBP will appreciate. This would cause GBPCAD to rise in value.
The Crude Oil Industry
Canada is one of the world's top crude oil exporters. Any changes in demand for this commodity have a significant impact on the value of Canada's economy. If global demand for crude oil rises, Canada will be able to export it more often, increasing the value of the Canadian dollar.
As a result, the value of GBPCAD would fall. Similarly, if global demand for crude oil drops, Canada will be unable to export as much as normal, causing the CAD to fall in value. As a result, the value of GBPCAD would rise.
The Transport Industry
The United Kingdom is a major exporter of cars and car parts. As a result, its economy is highly reliant on global demand for these items. Any changes in demand for transportation vehicles will have an immediate influence on the value of the pound. If demand for vehicles falls, the UK will not export as many of them, leading the value of the GBP to fall. This would also cause GBPCAD to fall. Similarly, if global demand for vehicles rises, the UK will export them more frequently, and the value of the GBP will rise. This would cause GBPCAD to also rise.
Financial Institutions
The Bank of England and the Bank of Canada are both accountable for any volatility in the GBPCAD market. The BOE and BOC issue monthly reports and remarks about policy adjustments. These assessments also provide economic and monetary projections for the near future. Any favorable BOE outcomes will have a positive influence on the GBPCAD currency pair. Any favorable BOC outcomes, on the other hand, will have an adverse influence on the GBPCAD currency pair. Representatives from these specific banks also give presentations on a regular basis in which they discuss these outcomes in further depth. These remarks are just as crucial, if not more, in influencing the direction of the GBPCAD market. Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the BOE, is well-known for his remarks. Sharon Kozicki, the Deputy Governor of the BOC, is well-known for her remarks.
Gross Domestic Product
GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, has an enormous influence in the volatility of this minor currency pair. GDP is a measure of a country's overall economic performance. A positive GDP statistic shows that the economy is thriving. This, in turn, would encourage individuals to invest in the country's economy, raising the value of the currency. If the UK's GDP improves, the GBP will climb in value, leading the GBPCAD to grow in value as well. The opposite is true in the case of CAD. If Canada reported a good GDP, the CAD would appreciate, forcing the GBPCAD to depreciate.

Christopher Lees, a Sylff fellow at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, spent time at the University of Hamburg, Germany carrying out analysis and refining his research on youth language on social networking sites. In this article, he describes his findings on digital literacy practices among Greek teenagers using Facebook, and describes how they use linguistic creativity to achieve their communicative goals.
* * *
The way teenagers speak and interact has long been a matter of interest in sociolinguistics, while often being a matter of concern and even controversy in academic circles and among the general public. There can be no doubt that teenagers seem to have their own codes of communication, which are markedly different from those of their elders. This has given rise to many questions both within and outside academia. What is it, for instance, that makes teenagers use different varieties of language? How do we classify these varieties and can we claim, as many do, that these "alternative" uses of language pose a threat to the future of the languages we speak? A new element to this debate in recent years is the question of how teenagers communicate on social networking sites such as Facebook. This has brought a whole new set of questions related to an oral-like style of writing, inconsistent grammar and punctuation, and frequent mixtures of various different, particularly in countries whose languages are regarded as "less widely spoken."
My field of sociolinguistics aims to provide answers to these questions. For example, it is widely accepted that one of the reasons why teenagers exhibit such unique linguistic practices is because they mix in narrower circles than was the case in previous generations, largely due to the fast-paced development of technology (Kakridi-Ferrari 2005: 195). Since the Second World War, technology has replaced many previous professions, rendering many skills obsolete. This has created a need for young people to be educated for longer than was previously the norm in order for them to keep pace with the new demands created by new technology. This has forged a closer bond between teenagers and other young people who spend more time with each other and have developed a new type of "youth culture" as a result of this new social dynamic. This culture has brought with it new ways of communicating that differ from the varieties of language used by these people's parents and previous generations and reflect the shifting social reality of which young people are a part.
Social networking sites and Facebook in particular have provided young people with an entirely new "meeting place" where they can chat with their friends, exchange ideas, play games, and share and comment on videos and images. Such a platform is in itself an entirely new social reality for teenagers that has facilitated the development of new language practices. The study of the language practices seen on social networking sites is one of the latest areas of interest to linguists involved what is known as Computer Mediated Communication. This is the area that my research focuses on.
Following the traditions of sociolinguistics and computer-mediated communication, my PhD research focuses on the language practices of Greek teenagers on Facebook. A total of 15 secondary school pupils are participating in my PhD research, 10 of them enrolled at the Model Experimental School of the University of Thessaloniki and the remaining five at the Model Experimental Secondary School of the University of Macedonia in the area of Neapoli. The two schools are located in different areas of the Greek city of Thessaloniki. The latter is located in a socially underprivileged area of the city, whereas the former is in the center and enjoys a reputation as a school of academic excellence, not least due to its affiliation with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The rationale behind this selection was the hope that the linguistic data derived from the pupils might reveal differences that could be attributed to the different social backgrounds of the pupils. Consent was obtained from parents and guardians, as well as from the pupils themselves. In addition, pseudonyms have been used whenever reference is made to the data, so as to protect the identity of the participants, in line with research ethics (D'Arcy & Young 2012: 540-541).
After receiving my SRA scholarship, I travelled to the University of Hamburg in Germany to refine and discuss the categories to be included in my analysis. In total, I spent two and a half weeks at the Department of German Philology, where I was able to discuss my research with experts in my field and use their resources to develop a concrete qualitative and quantitative approach to analyzing the data collected from the pupils. I was also able to see at first hand how research has been conducted for similar projects in German using the model of online ethnography (Androutsopoulos 2008). Online ethnography refers to observing the linguistic practices of specific communities of Internet users, together with real contact with the users themselves by means of interviews, discussions, etc. The advantage of this approach is that the researcher is able to cross-check and verify his or her interpretations against the explanations and opinions of the producers of the language practices under study. This blended approach can therefore help produce a more reliable data analysis.
In comparison with German, Greek is one of the less widely spoken languages of the EU. One of the consequences of this is that its speakers are exposed to a much greater variety of languages—particularly English through the mainstream media—than speakers of more widely spoken languages like English and French. Three main tendencies observed in Greek teenagers' linguistic practices on Facebook form the core of my research. These are as follows:
1. Features of digital orality in teenagers' "written" linguistic practices on Facebook
2. Use of alternate script choices
3. Use of English
In general terms, the term digital orality refers to "oral-like" features employed by users of digital media while communicating in writing (Soffer 2010: 388). The features of digital orality studied in my PhD research are diminutives and augmentatives, as well as oral discourse markers. Such features, in particular, are highly common in the language practices of Greek teenagers on Facebook and fulfill specific pragmatic functions for the users and their fellow participants, as can be seen in Examples 1 and 2 below:
1. Σε ευχαριστώ Άννα, θεάρα μου [se efcharisto Anna mu, theara mu]
Thank you Anna, my [big] goddess
2. εε κι εμείς φοβόμασταν να πάμε στο δωμάτιο και να φανταστείς ήταν πρωί [ee ki emis fovomastan na pame so domatio ke na fantastis itan proi]
errr we were afraid to go to the room, too and that was in the morning, if you can believe it
In Example 1, the use of the augmentative –ara attached to the word theara, characterising the user's friend as exhibiting "goddess" functions as a way of showing admiration and enthusiasm for the referent (see Daltas 1985). Conversely, in Example 2, the use of the oral discourse marker ee, which resembles but does not have the exact same functions as English er, acts as a way of framing the message that follows, while signifying a relevant part of the conversation, which could be an answer to a previous comment made by another Facebook user. The use of diminutives, augmentatives and oral discourse markers belongs almost entirely to the linguistic repertoire of female pupils. This is believed by the pupils to be due to the fact that, particularly in the case of diminutives and augmentatives, these elements are used to express affection and tenderness.
As far as Greek is concerned, script choice in Computer Mediated Communication has been a subject of debate ever since people started using computers to communicate with each other. Greek users would use Latin transliteration to represent Greek characters, initially due to the fact that Greek characters were not available. However, after this problem was resolved with the invention of the so-called UNICODE system, computer users, and most notably young computer users, continued using the Latin script. In my research I investigate the current situation in the language used by Greek teenagers in my data. In addition, I noted an interesting new trend for English and other languages that use the Latin script to be written in the Greek alphabet (Spilioti 2013), such as in Example 3 below:
3. oφκορσ ι λοβ γιου μαι ντιαρ [ofkors i lov yiou my diar]
Of course I love you, my dear
From my data, this use of Latin script to write Greek is practiced by boys significantly more than by girls. This is recognised by pupils as indicative of boys' more relaxed attitude to language use and a way for them to avoid the hassle involved in changing keyboard settings between one alphabet and the other.
Finally, my research looks into how English is used by Greek teenagers in their communication with friends on Facebook. Rather than simply communicating in the English they learn at school, Greek teenagers use various features of English, including vernacular ones, often mixed in with Greek, producing an entertaining multilingual puzzle. Such practices are referred to in the literature as polylingual languaging (Jørgensen 2008). According to this model of analysis, what is important in this type of communication is not linguistic accuracy and proficiency but the way in which users exploit features of various languages to accomplish their own communicative needs. For example, the phrase, "are you working me?" in Example 4 below is not a phrase used in Standard English but a direct translation of the Greek phrase, με δουλεύεις [me dulevis], which means "Are you kidding me?"
4. Δεν σου αρέσει ο Spiderman τώρα? Are you working me? [Den su aresi o Spiderman tora? Are you working me?]
You don't like Spiderman now? Are you kidding me?
The Facebook user who produced the comment in Example 4 knows that the phrase in question is not an idiom in Standard English, but has used it for the benefit of his Greek-speaking friends, who, because of their knowledge of Greek, are able to understand the humor behind the "Englishification" of a well-used Greek phrase. No significant difference was noted related to gender use of this kind of English; it seems that both sexes use the English language in much the same way and for the same communicative purposes.
I hope that this short article has provided a useful overview of my PhD research and given some insight into the ways that Greek teenagers communicate through Facebook. As the examples show, Greek teenagers make use of all the cultural and linguistic resources at their disposal to produce highly creative language practices, which do not reflect any difference in social background between the pupils at the two schools. It seems that Greek secondary school teenagers in Thessaloniki use much the same types of language practices, although some differences can be discerned depending on gender. For example, as we have seen, the use of diminutives, augmentatives and oral discourse markers appears to make up a more significant part of the language repertoire of girls, whereas boys use the Latin script to write Greek significantly more than girls do.
My hope is that this research will help to construct an argument that will enable society to appreciate the creative and intricate ways in which Greek teenagers use language to play, joke, and achieve their communicative goals in the specific context of Facebook. People often view teenage linguistic practices as a degenerative and "cheap" variety of Greek, but far from posing a threat to the integrity of the Greek language, these highly imaginative and creative practices in fact make a positive contribution to enriching linguistic creativity.
In other words, it should not be assumed that teenagers' use of language is in any way inferior to that of previous generations, or that they do not know how to use language "appropriately," simply because they combine English with their Greek, use the Latin script, and use features of orality in their written language practices On the contrary, my ethnographic data shows that Greek teenagers are well aware that their use of language on Facebook is for Facebook only and not suitable for academic writing or formal correspondence. I hope that my research will help to dispel the myths and foreground teenagers' language practices on Facebook as examples of linguistic ingenuity and creativity, and contribute to a better perception of the roles played by language in society.

The world we live in can seem chaotic at times. The constant pressure of deadlines, appointments, "to do" lists and traffic jams make us rush around endlessly. We start feeling stressed out and disconnected from ourselves and our lives. We start living like zoo tigers confined within the safety of our often messy daily routines.
However, the truth is that the world only feels that way when we RESIST.
It only feels that way when we lose our elasticity to spring back, and capability to rebound and respond while maintaining the connection with ourselves and our physical and mental wellbeing.
Restoring the connection, keeping a spring in our step, and encouraging flexibility and adaptability in life's daily situations begins with our bodies.
Through the practise of the pilates method we can understand our own physical limitations and restrictions matching our urge to resist what is happening around us in our daily lives. This resistance shows up in reluctance to try new things and in tendency to shy away from challenge.
By opening ourselves up, accepting our imperfections, and choosing to meet challenges head on as they arise, we quickly learn to adapt. We realise we have hidden resources we can only access through opening up and stepping outside our current comfort zones.
The pilates method gives us this perfect platform to firstly connect with ourselves and our bodies, and then extend ourselves and reach further physically and mentally. This increases our tolerance and allows us to exercise resilience, so we are ready once again to step back into our daily lives with more adaptability and flexibility.

5 Common Liposuction Myths
Update 16/09/2018
Liposuction is among the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in Thailand but it is surrounded by myths and half-truths. Below, we bust a few myths about the procedure to help give you a better overview.
Fat Will Come Back Somewhere Else
Your body's fat cells are not evenly distributed and this certainly is the case after liposuction in Thailand. While fat cells will grow evenly individually, there are fewer fat cells where the liposuction occurred so they won't fill out like they did before which is precisely the point. The remaining fat cells pick up the slack. As long as you maintain your weight after the procedure, the changes will be permanent. Even if you gain a lot of weight, you maintain your 'contour' from the liposuction procedure.
There Is An Age Limit
It is actually possible to perform liposuction in Thailand on patients in their eighties with good results. If you are in good health and are not on medication, liposuction is a possibility. While you won't benefit from a 'miracle procedure', don't shut the door on the option until you speak to a specialist.
Obese Individuals Are Prime Candidates
The best candidates are just a little bit overweight. Most surgeons will not allow you to undergo liposuction in Thailand if you are more than 30 pounds overweight. The ideal candidate is someone close to their ideal weight but with fatty deposits that stubbornly refuse to move after diet and exercise. Severely overweight individuals carry too many risks to be seriously considered.
The More Fat Removed, The Better
The reality is that removing too much fat leads to risks surgeons don't want to deal with which is why obese people are discouraged from having the procedure. When too much fat is removed, irregularities such as lumps and bumps can become a problem. Typically, liposuction in Thailand will not involve the removal of more than 11 pounds (5 litres) of fat.
You Can Begin Exercising Immediately Afterwards
Although liposuction in Thailand is performed by specialists using advanced techniques and equipment, it is not like cleaning your teeth! You can't expect to have the procedure on a Tuesday and be exercising or working on a Wednesday. Recovery recommendations are made on an individual basis so it could take anywhere from 2-10 days for you to recover.
Swelling may take up to 10 days to subside in any case so you'll need to wait for this to happen before exercising again. Surgeons typically recommend avoiding strenuous activity for a minimum of two weeks as bruising will usually have disappeared by then.
In conclusion, liposuction is an excellent method of removing some excess fat and ensuring your body looks svelte and sensational. You can rely on Thai surgeons to provide you with world class treatment as they have been studying overseas and carry years of extensive cosmetic surgery experience. However, do not assume liposuction in Thailand is a magic pill; it is not for severely overweight people nor can you recover in a matter of hours.

EVERY time Firefox does an update, my home page changes, my icons for add-ons are gone, EVERY time. I keep asking this question but the responses are not helpful.
EVERY time Firefox does an update just about everything changes for me, including my homepage, my icons for add ons are gone, now my link to my email is gone, I always wonder if I'm on the correct version or not. It says I am but what happened to all of my settings. I cannot tell you the number of times I've had to find my THEME and since there is no rhyme or reason as to how the themes are categorized it takes me forever to find the one I want. It doesn't seem to matter what settings I have entered because they are changed along with everything else. I have asked this question before and the answers I have received do not work. And another question. I do not like the background in "black" with the titles highlighted in yellow when I am searching. Very difficult for me to read, I've attempted to change that many times but can't seem to figure that out either. Oh, Lord where is Microsoft 7 when I need it? An OS that even I could figure out.
Perhaps finding the glitch in the changes that always take place after an update should be your next update.

Two suspects arrested in connection with the brutal murder and lynching of a middle-aged female primary school teacher in Mutitu, Kitui East were on Thursday arraigned in a Kitui court.
Wambua Mwangangi and Chris Kyalo Muli are suspected to have been part of a mob that killed and lynched Daisy Mbathe, a teacher at Ndooni Primary School on Monday January 6, 2020.

The school has since been closed.
