Happy birthday to Mia! I know what you mean about where have those years gone, Liam nearly 17 and he's on his Learners Drivers Licence. Liam's not dating yet, I wish Mia was in New Zealand and Liam could ask her to the school ball, he said he doesn't want to go in case he gets rejected, I don't know why as he's pretty handsome and such a good catch. He met this Australian girl whilst we were overseas such a pretty girl but too far away to date (thank goodness). Love your card this week it so pretty and I love your added flowers.

...ok, maybe it's a little you.
I just feel like we've grown apart. You have always been reliable, dependable, and consistant, but I want to explore bigger and better things, and I just don't feel like I can do that with you. Please don't feel like you've been replaced. We can still hang out and be friends.
It pains me to say that. I mean, we've been through so much together. You were there when I first laid eyes on him.
and her.
You have seen me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. You have never judged me. You always tell the truth...always! >= (
I've had my eye on this one for a while.
I have a feeling we are going to be spending a lot of time together. Please understand.

Asian markets have ended in the green ahead of China's new leadership announcement while eurozone concerns increased with anti-austerity protests in the region.
Japan's Nikkei gained 0.04 percent or 3.68 points to 8664.73 while South Korea's KOSPI was up 0.23 percent or 4.34 points to 1894.04.
China's Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.37 percent or 7.53 points to 2055.42. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended 1.20 percent or 254.33 points higher to 1442.98.
Markets in India remained shut for a holiday.
Workers across the European Union (EU) are holding walkouts and protests against the austerity measures introduced by a various governments in the area.
Spanish and Portuguese labourers are staging a general strike, while unions in Greece and Italy have planned demonstrations in support. Protests are also expected to take place in other neighbouring countries.
Concerns on the US 'fiscal cliff' too continued. Although US lawmakers are reported to have set a seven-week deadline to solve the impending fiscal issue, investors remain tense on the implications of the crisis on the markets.
"In a plausible worst case scenario, the fall off the fiscal cliff and the onset of recession will demolish equity values and boost bond prices," noted analysts at IHS Global Insight.
"The Federal Reserve will likely respond by adding more stimulus, however, this will be ineffective against the magnitude of the fiscal contraction".
Meanwhile, market players are keeping a close watch on China, which is set to declare a fresh set of leaders at the end of its 18th Party Congress. Speculations are running high on the new regime's administrative approach as the country looks to boost its slowing economy.
Major Movers
Japanese technology stocks gained after the US technology major Cisco reported better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Panasonic and Sony ended 0.78 and 1.05 percent higher.
Shares of Sharp gained 7.24 percent following reports that Intel and Qualcomm may invest in the embattled firm.
Electronic blue-chips ended higher in Seoul as well. Shares of Samsung were up 0.44 percent while those of LG Electronics gained 4.59 percent.
Finance and property stocks gained in Hong Kong. China Resources Land gained 3.33 percent while Wharf Holdings rose 3.24 percent. Shares of China Construction Bank ended 3.18 percent higher.
Cotton-related products company Xinjiang Sailimu Modern Agriculture and chemicals firm Inner Mongolia Yili Energy were the major gainers in Shanghai, up 10.02 and 10 percent respectively.

They walked six miles from the Onondaga Nation Arena to downtown Syracuse, carrying signs about protecting water sources. Veto by governor won't stop fight for casino gaming revenue By Ellen Abbott • Oct 17, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News File Photo A bill vetoed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo this month would have given Madison County some of the cash the Oneida Indian nation pays to state as part of a compact that's been in place between the state and the nation since 2013. Madison County didn't have gaming at that time, but it does now, and officials say it's only fair that the county should get in on some of the gambling revenue. State Sen. Dave Valesky (D-Oneida) says a veto usually means the end of a story. But he's sees a glimmer of hope in this case, in the governor's veto message. Madison County officials urge Cuomo to sign casino revenue bill By Payne Horning • Sep 23, 2016 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News File Photo Officials in Madison County are urging Gov. Andrew Cuomo to sign a law that would allow the state to share gaming revenue from the Yellow Brick Road Casino with the county. State law allows a portion of revenue the state gets from Native American run casino's to be shared with the host county. Since the Yellow Brick Road Casino opened in Chittenango after the law was passed, it didn't get in on the revenue sharing deal according to Madison County Board of Supervisors John Becker. Tenney claims GOP primary victory in 22nd Congressional District By Payne Horning • Jun 29, 2016 Payne Horning / WRVO News File Photo Republican primary voters in the 22nd Congressional District elected Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney to represent them Tuesday. She defeated her two GOP opponents, Cazenovia businessman Steve Wells and Binghamton teacher George Phillips, capturing 41 percent of the vote. Tenney finally won the party's ticket after losing this very primary race in 2014 to then-incumbent Rep. Richard Hanna, who's now retiring. He endorsed Wells, her more moderate opponent. Native American leaders say fight to change Washington Redskins mascot continues By Payne Horning • May 31, 2016 National Congress of American Indians / ChangeTheMascot.org A recent poll from the Washington Post found that 90 percent of 504 Native Americans whom were surveyed are not bothered by the use of the term redskin, but that is not stopping an effort to change the Washington NFL team's name. Oneida and Madison counties at odds over casino revenue By Payne Horning • Feb 23, 2016 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News File Photo An official from Oneida County is threatening legal action over proposed state legislation that would give Madison County more casino revenue from the Oneida Indian Nation. Central New York casinos rallying against incoming Lago Casino By Payne Horning • Nov 19, 2015 Benketaro / Flickr Construction is underway on the Lago Resort and Casino in Seneca County. But, that isn't stopping other casinos in the region from rallying to block it. Joanne Shenandoah on the Campbell Conversations By Grant Reeher • Jun 14, 2015 This week on the Campbell Conversations, host Grant Reeher talks with the internationally acclaimed Oneida Nation singer and songwriter Joanne Shenandoah. They discuss music, peacemaking, and politics, as well as her recent work to reduce violence among Native American children. Their political conversation touches upon the tensions among the Nations of the Iroquois when it comes to policies like casino gambling. Madison County hoping Yellow Brick Road will provide more revenue By Tom Magnarelli • Jun 12, 2015 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News File Photo The Oneida Indian Nation, which operates the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, opened the new Yellow Brick Road Casino in Chittenango earlier this month. Madison County is pushing to receive a percentage of the new revenue New York state is getting from the Oneidas. Madison County Board Chairman John Becker admits they didn't see this coming. Oneida County will use some of its casino revenue for arts and STEM funding By Ryan Delaney • Jan 7, 2015 O World of Photos / via Flickr Oneida County is using some its share in revenue from the Turning Stone casino to fund arts and science programs. Oneida County is receiving a $2.5 million annual cut of the Turning Stone profits. That's through a revenue sharing deal between the Oneida Indian Nation that runs the casino and New York state. County Executive Anthony Picente has proposed using those funds for downtown development, infrastructure upgrades, public safety, and arts and science. New Oneida Indian Nation casino raises questions By Gino Geruntino • Dec 24, 2014 Oneida Indian Nation Following the state's announcement that three upstate locations would become home to Las Vegas style casinos, the Oneida Indian Nation made its own announcement. They will soon build and open a casino in the Madison County Village of Chittenango.

Birthday parties have changed significantly since I was a child. It used to be that a few friends came over, everyone played and the highlight was cake and opening presents. Today on the other hand birthday parties have turned into major events. Parties have to be planned weeks in advance in order to secure a venue and invitations need to be sent out weeks in advance in the hopes that people are still available come your party date. Not only have the parties gotten more extravagant but so have the favors. Favors have gone from what used to be a bag of candy and maybe a few "crackerjack" type toys to presents in and of themselves.
Where I live the average cost of a birthday party is somewhere between $400-$500. That includes the place, the cake, food and the favors. What has happened to the simple home party and why do we need to indulge our children in such extravagance at such a young age?
Since I find this all so crazy I have decided to share with you some fun at home party ideas. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting fun and creative parties for your girls that would satisfy any age. For those with boys, I will also share ideas for fun boy or boy girl parties.
To start this series I would like to introduce the "Glam Girl or Princess Party". It is easy; tell all your guests to come in dress up clothes. If you have a girl anything like mine than finding dress up clothes is not hard to do. Buy some nail polish, set mirrors and brushes on the table and do hair and nails. If the girls are old enough makeup can be incorporated. Being a mom, you know how to do hair and nails, so you can be the stylist. To add to the excitement your party favor can be a fun hair accessory, a hair brush and mirror set, or nail polish. After all the girls are done up you can serve cake and let the them play and have fun with each other.
Need party favor or gift set ideas? Come visit me at Little Miss Julia or click on Shop at the top of the page. I would be happy to create favors that meet the needs of your party. Below are some gift and party favor ideas.

Almost everyone has seen the Emmy Award-winning reality show, "The Amazing Race," where teams of two make their way around the world, dealing with obstacles and completing tasks to win a series of clues.
Making your way around Cayman may not be quite the global trek experienced by those on TV, but it can still be just as much fun, and thankfully it doesn't carry on for days.
Amazing Cayman Race
The local version of "The Amazing Race" (labeled "The Amazing Race 4.0") returns to Cayman on Aug. 20. Several teams will race against the clock to complete different types of challenges at various locations, which include mandatory, and often hilarious, photo shoots.
Teams are to be a minimum of three people with a maximum of five and must include a sober, designated driver.
Beyond the usual routes and challenges, teams can subtract minutes off their overall time with gold stars and bonus tasks along the way. There are many prizes to be won, courtesy of the participating locations and sponsors Heineken and Smirnoff.
The race starts at Whiskey Mist at 2 p.m. and the route includes stops at the North Sound Golf Club, Calico Jacks, Craft, Lone Star, Duke's, Cayman Coffee Club, KARoo, The Kings Head, and Billy Bones.
There will be drink specials and snacks back at Whiskey Mist to enjoy once you have completed the race, assuming you don't find yourself lost in the mangroves.
The fee per team to enter is $100. Teams must be signed up and paid by 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Tickets can be bought at Epic Day Entertainment at The Strand or by using the Connected Castaway App. For an additional $35, Homesafe will provide a designated driver for the duration of the race. Call 326-7233 to make arrangements. For more information on The Amazing Race 4.0 or to sign up, call Epic Day at 322-5341.

Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (2/19/19)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced that the mined stopes during 2018 reconciled within 90% of the planned grade of those stopes in the 2016 mine plan and 92% in the final nine months following the ramp-up of the grade control system. . .this was significantly better than most investors appeared to have hoped for, and this makes the company's updated reserve estimate in April a potential significant positive catalyst for Pretium."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (2/14/19)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q4/18 adjusted earnings per share was $0.11, above our estimate and consensus for $0.08 on lower-than-expected costs. Operating cash flow of $43M was above our estimate for $30M and translated into stronger free cash flow of $36M versus our expectations of $22M; the company posted a solid free cash flow yield of close to 12% in 2018."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (1/13/19)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Brucejack is a tier 1 mine. . .an asset like this underscores our Outperform (Speculative) rating. We view clarity on grade control, reserve and expansion to 3.8 tpd over the next quarter to be positive catalysts."
Anita Soni, CIBC World Markets (1/10/19)"Pretium Resources Inc. reported Q4/18 production results of 96.3 Koz compared with 92.6 Koz in Q3 and below our Q4 forecast of 108.7 Koz. . .the milling rate of 2.9 Ktpd was above Q3/18 of 2.6 Ktpd and our forecast of 2.7 Ktpd. . .cash on hand was $45M at year-end after the debt refinancing and stream repurchasing. . .The performance of Brucejack is the key driver for the stock, and we are looking for consistent ore grade delivery in the coming quarters to build market confidence."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (1/10/19)"We believe the obvious conclusion from Pretium Resources Inc.'s overall 2018 production is that Brucejack is a world-class asset and the company remains significantly undervalued. . .Pretium produced 376,012 oz gold in 2018 at an all-in sustaining cost of under $800/oz, based on our estimates. Simply repeating this production rate for the existing mine life would make Brucejack one of the best gold mines in the world."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (1/9/19)"Pretium Resources Inc. delivered Q4/18 gold production from its Brucejack mine of 96.3 Koz. . .the company ended the quarter with over $45M in cash following the repurchase of its precious metals stream. . .we continue to rate shares of Pretium Outperform based on valuation and the quality of the Brucejack mine."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (12/18/18)"As expected, Pretium Resources Inc. has closed the previously announced $480M debt facility, allowing it to repurchase the callable 8% gold and silver stream and refinance its existing construction credit facility. . .we still see a number of catalysts on the horizon, including Q4/18 production mid-January and a discussion on reconciliation either with Q4/18 production results or shortly thereafter."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (12/17/18)"On Dec. 14, 2018, Pretium Resources Inc. announced it had received approval to increase the production rate at Brucejack from 2,700 tpd to 3,800 tpd. . .we view this as a significant positive for the company. . .we note that in order to increase production to this rate on a continuous basis the company needs to invest approximately $25M in mill upgrades."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (12/17/18)"As expected, Pretium Resources Inc. received the amended permits to increase production rates at the Brucejack mine to 3.8 Ktpd (from 2.7 Ktpd). On an annual basis, this translates to a production increase to 1.387 Mt from 0.99 Mt. . .the company indicated a timeline for the ramp-up to 3.8 Ktpd along with an updated mine plan are expected in Q1/19."
Bhakti Pavani, Alliance Global Partners (11/12/18)"With the cash balance of $190M at Sept. 30, 2018 and the expected operating cash flow of $64M in Q4/18, we believe Pretium Resources Inc. remains on track and should have sufficient liquidity to buy back the stream for the acquisition price of $237M. . .the management team further noted that they expect to receive the updated mine permit for expanding the Brucejack mine's production from 2.7 Ktpd to 3.8 Ktpd by 2018E."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (11/12/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q3/18 results were better than expected as the company continues to show improvement at Brucejack. Additionally, we believe it is poised for a strong finish to the year; thus, we are increasing our price target from $20 to $21 and reiterating our Buy rating."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (11/9/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s headline Q3/18 earnings were $0.06. After adjustments, adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.14, above our estimate and consensus for $0.09; the beat versus our estimate was primarily due to better costs and lower taxes."
Bhakti Pavani, Alliance Global Partners (11/1/18)"We are initiating coverage on Pretium Resources Inc. with a Buy rating and price target of $11. . .with an average reserve grade of ~14.5 g/t Au, the Brucejack mine is not only one of the high grade gold mines, but also the nature of mineralization is very unique. . .the gold-carrying veins in the mine move in all directions and vary in diameter (thickness), unlike veins in other traditional mines that move along a particular path and are of a certain thickness (width)."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (10/9/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q3/18 cash flow was well above our expectations; the company indicated it added $48M to cash on hand during Q3/18, finishing with over $190M as of Sept. 30. Following the announcement last week of a new debt facility, the strong cash position at quarter-end and our production expectations for Q4/18, we see Pretium as well-positioned to refinance its credit facility and to repurchase its precious metals stream."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (10/9/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q3/18 production of 92,641 oz gold was slightly above our 91,012 oz estimate. The slightly higher than estimated production is attributed to slightly higher than anticipated average grade of 12.4 g/t gold compared to our estimate of 12 g/t. . .all in, we view Q3/18 as a good quarter for the company."
David Haughton, CIBC World Markets (10/9/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. reported Q3/18 production results of 92.6 Koz. . .the company reiterated the H2/18 production goal of 200220 Koz. . .cash on hand increased by $48M to ~$190M in Q3/18."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (10/4/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced that it has signed a commitment letter for a $480M debt facility, paving the way for the company to refinance is existing credit facility and providing the company additional support to repurchase its precious metals stream."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (10/4/18)"On Oct. 4, 2018, Pretium Resources Inc. announced a commitment letter for the refinancing of its construction loan. We view this as a significant positive for the company. . .the new facility adds the necessary balance sheet flexibility to cover any shortfall for repurchasing the gold stream. Thus, we are increasing our price target from $19 to $20 and reiterating our Buy rating."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (9/30/18)"On Sept. 24, 2018, Pretium Resources Inc. announced it had given notice to the holders of its gold stream that the company intends to repurchase 100% of the stream by 2018E. We view this as a positive signal. . .we believe the stream will be repurchased as part of a larger debt refinancing package by year-end."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (9/24/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced this morning that it has delivered notice to buy back the 8% gold and silver stream at Brucejack. . .we view the repurchase of the stream as net present value accretive to the company."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (8/26/18)"We are maintaining our $19 price target and Buy rating on Pretium Resources Inc. . .we estimate the company will generate enough cash to repurchase its gold stream by the end of 2018."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (8/12/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q2/18 results were relatively in line with our expectations, but we believe the market reaction was a demonstration that the company is putting its startup issues in the rear view. . .we attribute the move to Pretium's ability to demonstrate the quality of the Brucejack mine as it generated $72M in cash during the quarter."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (8/9/18)"PVG reported a Q2/18 adjusted earnings per share beat on higher sales, lower costs and adjustments for other noncash items. Positively, cash costs and all-in sustaining cost were below our expectations. . .free cash flow was nicely above our estimates."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (7/11/18)"We attended a site tour to Pretium Resources Inc.'s Brucejack mine. We came away impressed with the effectiveness of the company's grade control system and confident that management has a strong plan in place."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (7/11/18)"We attended a site visit to Pretium Resources Inc.'s Brucejack mine with management; mine development is tracking well, and the benefits of grade control are evident. Importantly, we get the sense that grade control is leading to both positive and negative adjustments to grade and tons, but overall the net effect on contained ounces is minor."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (7/9/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q2/18 production of 111,340 oz gold significantly exceeded our estimate of 83,427 oz; we attribute the beat to significantly higher-than-forecast average production grades. We note that our prior estimates were conservative, but this production level exceeded our more optimistic scenario as well."
David Haughton, CIBC World Markets (7/9/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. reported strong Q2/18 production results that showed evidence of a grade reconciliation turnaround at Brucejack. The favorable H2/18 guidance should also be well received by the market."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (7/9/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. delivered strong Q2/18 production from its Brucejack mine, producing 111.3 Koz, above our estimate for 91.5 Koz, and achieving its H1/18 production guidance. Positively, H2/18 production guidance was solidly above our expectations."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (7/5/18)"For Pretium Resources Inc., we are currently forecasting Q2/18 production of 91.5 Koz based on a gold grade of 12 g/t (H1/18 of 167 Koz), placing the company in line to achieve its H1/18 guidance of 150200 Koz. . .we could see the release of inventory in Q2/18, leading to higher sales that would positively impact working capital and further benefit costs."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (6/19/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced the results of two underground drill holes meant to test the eastern extension potential of the Valley of the Kings deposit; both holes intersected sections of high-grade mineralization with highlights including 46 g/t gold over 1m and 142 g/t gold over 1.5m. We are encouraged by these results and believe they support our belief that there is significant resource expansion potential at Brucejack."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (5/14/18)"We are maintaining our Buy rating as we believe Pretium Resources Inc. is on the right track to reach steady state production later this year. . .the company reported revenue of $89.4M. . .Pretium maintained its H1/18 all-in sustaining cost guidance of $700900/oz."
David Haughton, CIBC World Markets (5/10/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s adjusted Q1/18 EPS of $0.03 beat our estimate of $0.02. . .the H1/18 guidance remains at 150200 Koz gold at an all-in sustaining cost of $700900/oz. . .cash and cash equivalents are $70M, up from $56M at 2017E."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (5/10/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s headline Q1/18 earnings were $0.04. . .the company noted it remains on track to deliver on its H1/18 gold production guidance of 150200 Koz and all-in sustaining cost of $700900/oz and expects steady state production to be achieved by mid- to late 2018."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (4/12/18)"We are encouraged by the improvement Pretium Resources Inc. demonstrated in February and March and believe the company will show incremental improvement in each subsequent quarter of 2018. . .Pretium is poised to meet H1/18 guidance of 150200 Koz gold."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (4/11/18)"We are just back from the Pretium Resources Inc. investor presentation. . .improvement to +10 g/t gold in February and March reflects renewed access to higher-grade stopes and, in March, the full benefit of grade control. . .FY18 guidance will be provided mid-year and will represent moving to reserve grade in H2/18 as a primary objective."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (4/11/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. delivered Q1/18 production that was above our expectations, with the grade control program now fully integrated into its mining process. . .the company announced Q1/18 gold production of 75.7 Koz, above our expectation of 67.9 Koz. The beat was primarily driven by above-estimated milling rates of 2.9 Ktpd. . .positively, grades improved during the quarter."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (3/12/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q4/17 revenue of $107.1M was above our estimate of $90.8M. . .most significantly, management confirmed H1/8 guidance and confirmed that the goal is to achieve parity grade reconciliation through additional grade control and drilling. . .we are reiterating our Buy rating and $20 price target."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (3/8/18)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s headline Q4/17 earnings were ($0.01)/share. . .operating cash flow of $33.2M was ahead of our estimate for $28.1M while free cash flow of ($3.3M) was ahead of our estimate of ($15.1M). . .the company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents of $56.3M."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (1/19/18)"On Jan. 23, 2018, Pretium Resources Inc. announced its Q4/17 production results and provided initial guidance for 2018. . .Q4/17 production was 70,281 oz gold. . .throughput and recovery rates were both above our expectations. . .the company guided to 150200 Koz gold production in H1/18."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (1/11/18)"Pretium Resources Inc. delivered one of the smoothest ramp-ups to commercial production in 2017 of any junior developer over the last 15 years. Despite this strong execution, the company continues to trade at a significant discount to the peer average on grade concerns."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (1/1/18)"On December 21, PVG announced that it had filed an application to increase its mill throughput from 2,700 TPD to 3,800 TPD. . .We had previously anticipated the company would file for a production rate increase and had assumed a rate of 2,900 TPD beginning in late 2018. Thus, this increase is significantly above our expectations and we view it as a major positive catalyst for PVG. . .This increase had a major impact on our DCF and as such, we are increasing our price target from $17 to $21, while reiterating our Buy rating."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (12/22/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. has just submitted an application to the British Columbia (B.C.) Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy which outlines an increase in capacity at the Brucejack mill to 3,800 tpd, up from the current 2,700 nameplate. . .with an expansion, we would theoretically see a move to nearly 640 Koz/year, representing a 42% increase per year."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (12/22/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced that it has filed an application with the British Columbia ministries to increase Brucejack mine production rates to 3.8 Ktpd. . .the application that was submitted reflects a production rate increase to an annual average of 1.387 Mt from 0.99 Mt (3.8 Ktpd from 2.7 Ktpd), or an increase in production rates of 41%. . .the company noted that it expects the approval process to take six to 12 months."

Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (11/13/17)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s Q3/17 results were impacted by an inventory build and one-time items, however, we were encouraged by reported cash costs. Additionally, we continue to believe the company remains undervalued and that its market value will improve as production and revenue increase over the coming quarters; thus, we are maintaining our Buy rating and $17 price target."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (11/12/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.06, broadly in line with consensus and based on 55.4 Koz gold sold versus 82.2 Koz produced in Q3/17. As broadcast, the company reversed its negative working capital position recorded at Q2/17E; working capital at Q3/17E was $7.2M."
Canaccord Genuity Morning Coffee (10/12/17)"Shares of Pretium Resources Inc. absolutely soared on Wednesday after the company announced first pour at the high-grade underground Brucejack mine in northern British Columbia. During Q3/17, the Brucejack mine produced 82,203 oz gold."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (10/11/17)"On Oct. 11, 2017, PVG announced its first full quarter production results from its Brucejack mine; results were well above expectations, and we believe this underscores our prior belief that Brucejack is a world-class, high-grade mine and that the company is significantly undervalued. Thus, we are increasing our price target from $16 to $17 and reiterating our Buy rating."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (10/11/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. reported Q3/17 Brucejack gold production of 82.2 Koz gold, solidly beating our estimate of 71.4 Koz gold on higher grade and tons processed. We would be buyers on this news."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (10/11/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. released Q3/17 production results this morning, which highlight the company's quicker-than-expected ramp-up; 107,595 oz of gold have been produced to date, including 82,203 this past quarter. . .mill performance is outpacing nameplate capacity while recoveries are higher than expected."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (9/27/17)"This is an opportune time to build a position in Pretium Resources Inc. as we believe at current levels the stock is undervalued. . .we have added the company to the Canaccord Genuity Canadian Focus List as one of our top industry picks."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (9/21/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. is continuing to fire on all cylinders, as is apparent from the latest update in which the company announced production ramp-up is progressing strongly at the flagship Brucejack gold mine. . .positive working capital is expected by Q3/17E. . .Q3/17 production results will be announced in October, and we expect the company to continue to outpace many people's expectations."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (9/21/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. is continuing to fire on all cylinders, as is apparent from the latest update in which the company announced production ramp-up is progressing strongly at the flagship Brucejack gold mine. . .positive working capital is expected by Q3/17E. . .Q3/17 production results will be announced in October, and we expect the company to continue to outpace many people's expectations."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (9/21/17)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s ramp-up at Brucejack continues to progress well, with the mill running exclusively on stope ore and an increase in production contributing to an expectation of positive working capital by the end of the quarter. . .overall gold recoveries are currently exceeding 95%, approaching design levels."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (8/18/17)"We had three key takeaways from our site tour to Pretium Resources Inc.'s Brucejack mine. First, we were impressed by the work the company has done to complete construction and ramp production rates to nameplate capacity; second, we believe there is potential for expansion perhaps as soon as 2019; lastly, we believe Pretium is poised to demonstrate steady state production rates by 2017E."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (8/17/17)"We are reiterating our recently increased CA$18.50 target price and Speculative Buy rating on Pretium Resources Inc. following a recent positive site tour, which has reinforced our confidence in the ramp-up process. The company has made encouraging progress in processing plant optimization, mining rates and grade control while eyeing organic growth. . .recent share price weakness delivers a notable investment opportunity ahead of steady-state production."
Heiko Ihle, H.C. Wainwright & Co. (8/17/17)"While the decline and the mill foundation were still being finished last time we visited Pretium Resources Corp.'s Brucejack property, the project has now become a mine, in our view. The management team has clearly put a great deal of time and money into the site. . .while we expect minor hiccups during the ramp-up of production, we do not anticipate any major issues."
Jeff Killeen, CIBC World Markets (8/16/17)"Pretium Resources Corp.'s Brucejack asset showed well on the first of three days of site tours this week. . .the successful mill ramp-up has the company already contemplating a throughput increase up to >3 Ktpd within the next 18 months. Management indicated current recoveries are in the 90% range and anticipate the mine will be free cash flow positive by Q4/17."

Heiko Ihle, H.C. Wainwright & Co. (8/14/17)"Pretium Resources Inc.'s throughput at Brucejack continued to improve in July, with the processing plant operating at 99.9% of its monthly capacity; this resulted in 16,822 oz gold produced from low-grade stockpiles, development ore and initial stope ore in July. We note that a total of 25,392 oz gold was produced during the two months of commissioning."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (8/11/17)"We are increasing our target price on Pretium Resources Inc. to CA$18.50 from CA$17.50. . .the ramp-up at Brucejack is progressing faster than we expected. . .we would not be surprised to see the mill outperform nameplate capacity, and the mine appears to be prepared to keep ahead of the hungry mill."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (8/10/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. looks to be off to a good start with ramp-up at Brucejack. . .gold production appears to be on the rise based on July production, and with processing moving to stope ore in August, monthly gold production should rise further. We like the trajectory for production and reiterate our Outperform rating and, yes, an 81% expected return to target price."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (7/6/17)"On July 3, 2017, Pretium Resources Inc. announced that the Brucejack mine had achieved commercial production during the month of June 2017. . .we believe the company is poised for a number of significant catalysts over the remainder of 2017 including: production results in Q3, achieving nameplate capacity, potential to exceed nameplate capacity and an anticipated rerating as a producer. Thus, we are reiterating our Buy rating."
Heiko Ihle, Rodman & Renshaw (7/6/17)"On July 3, 2017, Pretium Resources Inc. announced the beginning of commercial production at its Brucejack mine. . .we remain impressed with management's ability to accelerate and complete commissioning of the site on time, as well as their efforts to begin commercial production in a smooth fashion."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (7/4/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced that it declared commercial production at its Brucejack mine, a full quarter ahead of our estimate. The focus for the company now turns toward troubleshooting in the plant, ramping up to full design rates and moving toward reserve grade."
Jeff Killeen, CIBC World Markets (7/4/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. declared commercial production at the Brucejack mine on July 3, which is slightly earlier than our expectation of mid-Q3/17. The company noted the plant operated at an average of ~87% of nameplate capacity of ~2,700 tpd in June. . .Pretium signaled that 'higher grade ore' is now being fed through the plant."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (7/4/17)"Yesterday, Pretium Resources Inc., the British Columbia-based company, announced that commercial production had been achieved at its high-grade Brucejack project. . .the company waited only three days into H2/17 to deliver the exciting news, saying in a release yesterday that over 70 Kt ore had been processed at Brucejack during the month of June."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (6/21/17)"Yesterday Pretium Resources Inc. announced it had poured its first gold from the Brucejack project; this is a major milestone for the company as it has been working diligently to bring the project into commercial production, a declaration expected in the back half of this year. Pretium also announced that the flotation and gravity circuits at its newly constructed mill are in operation, with gold-silver flotation concentrate production underway and shipment forthcoming."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (6/21/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced that it poured first gold at its Brucejack mine. The focus for the company now turns towards the ramp-up to commercial production, and while we model a declaration for the end of Q3/17, Pretium could declare commercial production earlier than expected."

Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (5/1/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. will have much of the execution risk associated with mine building behind it over the next few months, likely making the current share price lull an attractive opportunity. . .in our view, the company should have ample financial resources to later in 2017."
Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (5/1/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. specifically stated that wet commissioning at Brucejack was nearing completion and that it had begun introducing ore into the process. Additionally, the company stated that underground infrastructure construction was close to fully complete and commissioned. . .we believe Brucejack will begin initial gold production in the coming weeks and that it will steadily increase production over the remainder of 2017."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (5/1/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. highlighted that it remains on track for the production of gold concentrate and doré in the coming weeks. . .the test stope is ready for production and four other production stopes are being drilled. Handover from the construction team to the operations crew has been completed."
Byron King, Gold Speculator (4/11/17)"We're right on the cusp of Pretium Resources Inc. moving to production here. . .it won't be long before the company is up and running as a true gold producer. . .over time, and as gold prices rise, Pretium is highly leveraged to the upside."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (4/3/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. announced that the 57 km transmission line connecting the Brucejack mine to the British Columbia hydro power grid was completed on March 21 and was energized on March 31. . .we view the completion and energizing of the transmission as a positive development for the company, which will provide lower cost power to operations."
Byron King, Gold Speculator (3/28/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. is already mining ore to create a stockpile for the mill; we're looking for final checkouts and to get the mill up and running. Then the company will begin to transition from advanced-stage developer to a full-fledged producer, with cash flow from sale of gold. . .over time, and as gold prices rise, Pretium is highly leveraged to the upside."
Heiko Ihle, Rodman & Renshaw (3/8/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. continues to advance its high-grade Brucejack project toward production while minimizing the impact from the very few issues, notably the power line, that did not go as planned. In our opinion, the heavy lifting with regard to the project has been completed, and we expect to see the commissioning of Brucejack next month."
Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (2/28/17)"Pretium Resources Inc. is nearing completion of construction at Brucejack, with commissioning on track for early April 2017. All major components have been delivered to site, and the company has over 130 Kt ore stockpiled on surface and underground."

Often when running commands in Linux terminal I had to multitask and switch to another terminal.
That is good, but how to get notification that first task is completed?
We all get bell notification from the terminal.
So why not use it?
In Linux there is a tool called beep, but it is not by default in many distributions.
For the simple notification I found not as elegant, but simple solution.
If you send ASCII BEL (\007) to terminal it will beep.
So to "create" bell command just add to .bashrc
alias bell="echo -ne '\007'"
and reload it
source ~/.bashrc
Then you can use bell command to produce bell sound.
For example:
find / -name test.txt&&bell

I think you are fighting, by continuing to be you, by refusing to bog yourself down with idiotic remarks that would only intensify if you responded. You're SexyNerdGirl, not Raging She Hulk, though some of those comments probably do justify a gamma powered ass kicking. But why give up the best of you to swap smart ass remarks with sexist dickwads? That's just what they want — attention. You, angry, hurt. You, wasting your time on a stupid fight. You, neglecting your passions and fun. Why give them what they want?I get why Tim would be pissed; some of those comments get to me too and I'm not dating you! But you can handle yourself and you know when to bite back. Hopefully, Tim sees that soon and learns to ignore the morons too. Why should either of you waste your time on this BS? Every second wasted fighting could be better spent dusting off the Spider-Man and She Hulk costumes for a night of kinky adult fun :)

Shops barricaded in Tunis in recognition of the strike There is a general strike and mass demonstrations in Tunisia today, in protest at the murder of a secular left-wing opposition leader. The strike was called by the The General Union of Tunisian Wor …
There is a general strike and mass demonstrations in Tunisia today, in protest at the murder of a secular left-wing opposition leader. The strike was called by the The General Union of Tunisian Workers, the UGTT.
Opposition leader Chokri Belaid was shot dead outside his home this Wednesday. Belaid, a human rights lawyer, was a left-wing critic of the ruling Islamist party, Ennahda. Although no one has claimed responsibility for the murder, many ordinary Tunisians blame the Islamists.
Mr Belaid was buried in Tunis today as tens of thousands of people came out to show their respects and protest his assassination. There have been reports of clashes between demonstrators and the police.
Tunisia was the first country to experience the revolutionary wave of the Arab Spring. The self-immolation of vegetable seller Mohamed Bouazizi was a catalyst for this movement, sparking protests initially in Tunisia and then across the Arab world at corrupt and authoritarian leaders. The uprising in Tunisia – strongly supported by rank and file union activists – lead rapidly to the fall of the Ben Ali regime and the election of the Islamist Ennahda government in January 2011.
Despite tensions between secular leftists and Islamists, the transition in Tunisia has been considered stable and peaceful, and has generally lacked the unrest seen in Egypt. However, the murder of Belaid and the resulting protests challenge that view as tensions are clearly escalating. In many ways the protests in Tunisia mirror those in Egypt, where people are rising up against the increasingly authoritarian rule of Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi.
The UGTT is a powerful and political union federation, and a formidable force in Tunisian politics. Unlike the official Egyptian union federation, it managed to maintain independence from the state, and grew into a powerful political opposition movement, both before and after the transition to democracy. It has previously come under attack from government supporters.
We wish our comrades in the Maghreb all the best in these difficult times: may you succeed in building a better country.

A Massachusetts law barred citizens from protesting within 35 feet of abortion clinics in the State. The Supreme Court has appropriately struck down this law as it clearly violated the First Amendment (free-speech) of the Constitution. It is telling that Supreme Court acted unanimously with even its four liberal members including three women finding the law unconstitutional.
It is bad enough that Massachusetts made an unconstitutional law clearly to inhibit free speech. However, the reaction to the ruling from some on the left in the Bay State is just in trouble. Its Atty. Gen. Martha Coakley has responded saying that "this fight is just beginning again" and went on to wine about the court saying "from the beginning was hostile." Massachusetts Democratic Atty. Gen. candidate called the ruling "unconscionable" and wined that it would "deny a few seconds of privacy to women going to see their doctors."
It is very troubling that two lawyers, one who is the Massachusetts Attorney General and another who would hold that position, know so little about the Constitution, or conversely have such disdain for it. The right to free speech is as the US Supreme Court ruled, "but the prime objective of the First Amendment is not efficiency."
Is becoming more evident by their actions that some Progressives on the Left believe that their political views and special interests even trump the most basic rights guaranteed to American citizens in the Constitution. This is quite scary and is morphing into a form of fascism. President Obama is a card-carrying member of this dangerous political club.

9 Crazy Weight-Loss Scams People Fell For This Year
The Federal Trade Commission is preparing for a New Year's spike in weight-loss scams. This year's highlights included a cream inspired by lobster hormones, and a magical pill that claimed to strip the calories from a plate of spaghetti.
Lobster-inspired slimming creams. A magical powder you can sprinkle on food to help curb your appetite. A supplement that'll get you "high school skinny."
As Americans resolve to lose weight and diet this year, scammers are at the ready to collect what amounts to hundreds of millions each year in products that swear to trim inches and cut pounds, usually without any exercise. The Federal Trade Commission is preparing for the annual spike in weight-loss product fraud that tends to occur this time of year, as consumers search for a "magic bullet," said Richard Cleland, assistant director for the FTC's division of advertising practices.
"In terms of advertising issues, weight loss fraud is one of the top priorities for the Federal Trade Commission," Cleland said in an interview with BuzzFeed News. "It's very lucrative for scammers…you've got an audience that is susceptible to being scammed and a fairly sophisticated group of marketers that are very adept of taking advantage of them."
In the FTC's most recent consumer fraud survey, back in 2011, more consumers fell prey to fraudulent weight-loss products than any other fraud; an estimated 2.15% of consumers, or 5.1 million American adults, bought and used such goods that year. Despite that, companies typically can't pay the full fines demanded by the FTC as they've run out of money at that point. A tally by BuzzFeed News found that those accused of making fraudulent weight-loss claims paid less than $100 million in consumer refunds and penalties this year.
"Even in the best cases, it doesn't compare to the amount of money that consumers actually lose on the products," Cleland said. "The companies have generally spent the money either on advertising or laundered the money to their own bank accounts or something, so there's usually very little money left over for consumers. That suggests that consumer education is probably a more effective tool at protecting consumers than law enforcement."
Cleland notes that consumers should remember "there is no miracle out there." Below, nine scams that the FTC ruled on this year.
1. A powder to sprinkle on food that "enhances" its smell and taste, ultimately making consumers eat less and lose weight without dieting
Sensa represents one of the bigger weight-loss product scams in recent history, with U.S. sales of more than $364 million between 2008 and 2012, according to the FTC. Sensa Products LLC allegedly claimed sprinkling Sensa on meals would make "users feel full faster, so they eat less and lose weight without dieting, and without changing their exercise regime." It promised the loss of 30 pounds.
Sensa Products, parent company Sensa Inc., Sensa Inc.'s former CEO Adam Goldenberg and Sensa creator and endorser Dr. Alan Hirsch were ordered to pay $26.5 million as part of a $46.5 million judgment. Sensa powder, which came in 12 flavors, was sold at chains including Costco and GNC, touted in a promotional book by Hirsch, and was advertised on the Home Shopping Network, on the radio and in magazines, the FTC said.
A one-month supply typically cost $59 plus shipping and handling. Hirsch allegedly gave "expert endorsements that were not supported by scientific evidence" while some consumers were paid $1,000 or $5,000 and given trips to Los Angeles for endorsing Sensa, the FTC said.
2. Homeopathic drops made from HCG, a hormone produced by the human placenta
Marketers who pitched "homeopathic HCG drops as a quick and easy way to lose substantial weight" were ordered to pay $1 million in December, and asked to stop selling HCG Platinum drops, the FTC said on Dec. 11. The products were sold online, at GNC, Rite Aid, and Walgreens and claimed users would likely lose as much as 50 pounds; a 30-day supply typically retailed for anywhere from $60 to $149.
Human chorionic gonadotropin has been fraudulently pitched for decades as a weight loss ingredient, the agency said. The FTC imposed a $3.2 million judgment on a separate group of marketers in January who were selling HCG Diet Direct Drops, though they were unable to pay. In that case, HCG Diet Direct and director Clint Ethington allegedly told customers to place the solution under their tongues before meals and stick to an extremely low-calorie diet to "lose 7 pounds in 7 days."
3. Caffeine-infused underwear that promises to destroy fat cells
Norm Thompson Outfitters and Wacoal America got in trouble with the FTC earlier this year for claiming their shapewear would help consumers shed cellulite and pounds. Norm Thompson Outfitters, which was ordered to pay $230,000, said their undergarments were "infused with micro-encapsulated caffeine, retinol and other ingredients" that would "slim and reshape the wearer's body and reduce cellulite." The garments were made with Lytess fabric, as per the complaint. Lytess bike shorts online claim to contain microcapsules created with a patented caffeine-based formula that will "mobilize fats" and moisturize skin. It promises that upon wearing the $55 shorts: "You will feel better."
Wacoal, ordered to pay $1.3 million, allegedly made "false and unsubstantiated claims that wearing iPants would: substantially reduce cellulite; cause a substantial reduction in the wearer's thigh measurements; and destroy fat cells, resulting in substantial slimming," the FTC said. The garments cost $44 to $85. The Wacoal brand is carried at retailers including Macy's, Saks, Bloomingale's and Lord & Taylor.
4. "Lobster-inspired" slimming cream
DERMAdoctor claimed its Shrinking Beauty cream, which cost $58 for a 5.5-ounce tube, would "improve the appearance of cellulite, smooth and tighten skin" and was "clinically proven to reduce measurements up to one inch in two weeks,'" the FTC said in a Dec. 23 release. The formula "simulates a lobster's ability to shrink its body," the company said in a June 2013 Health magazine ad.
DERMAdoctor allegedly wrote on its website: "Learn from the lobster. This sea creature knows exactly how to shrink a size effortlessly without going on a diet. Our slimming and toning formula mirrors the ecdysteroid hormone lobsters produce to get skinny and wiggle free of their shells. Shrinking Beauty borrows from exotic botanical sources to mimic this oceanic wonder. A macronutrient complex further provides a proper ratio of protein, carbs and lipids for healthy, cellulite-free skin."
As of Dec. 29, the cream's product description noted it's "not intended for weight loss."
5. L'Occitane "Almond Beautiful Shape" cream, which promised to trim 1.3 inches from users' thighs in four weeks
L'Occitane was required to pay $450,000 after suggesting its "Almond Beautiful Shape" cream was scientifically proven to trim 1.3 inches from a user's thighs in four weeks while significantly reducing cellulite, according to the FTC. The company also indicated that scientific tests proved its "Almond Shaping Delight" cream "significantly slims the body in just four weeks."
The fee was intended for consumer redress. The company was prohibited from "making future false and deceptive weight-loss claims," the FTC said.
6. "Double Shot" pills, in which blue capsules burn fat and red ones block calories
While this direct mail advertising campaign took place between 2012 and October 2013, Manon Fernet and her Quebec-based company agreed to pay $500,000 to settle FTC charges this year over their Double Shot pills. The marketers did business as the "Freedom Center Against Obesity," supposedly in California, though the actual address was their fulfillment house. One supply of pills "to lose up to 30 pounds" cost $79; the bottles "contained blue capsules that supposedly burned fat, and red ones that supposedly blocked calories," the FTC said. The marketers allegedly "claimed that the effectiveness of Double Shot as a weight-loss treatment had been proven by clinical studies."
In one ad, the marketers said the pills would enable a user to absorb just 72 calories from a 720-calorie plate of spaghetti. Consumers were tricked into believing Double Shot "would cause rapid, substantial, and permanent weight loss, without diet or exercise," the FTC said.
7. Green coffee extract that can eliminate 10% of your body weight — a claim that got a boost from The Dr. Oz Show
Applied Food Sciences allegedly used a study "so hopelessly flawed that no reliable conclusions could be drawn from it," to show that green coffee extract causes "substantial weight and fat loss," the FTC said in September. AFS claimed Green Coffee Antioxidant "caused consumers to lose 17.7 pounds, 10.5% of body weight, and 16% of body fat with or without diet and exercise, in 22 weeks," based on the flawed study. The study's lead investigator allegedly altered weights and other key measurements of subjects, changed the trial length and misstated which subjects were taking the antioxidant or a placebo during the trial.
AFS didn't play a part in getting the study on The Dr. Oz Show but issued a release highlighting the show for extra publicity afterwards, as per the FTC. The company was ordered to pay $3.5 million and "to have scientific substantiation for any future weight-loss claims it makes."
8. "Get High School Skinny" Healthe Trim supplements
Healthe Trim supplements, sold online and at CVS, GNC and Walgreens, claimed they could help customers lose up to 165 pounds with the tagline: "Get high school skinny." A month's supply cost up to $65.
Dwyer and HealthyLife Sciences "made false and unsubstantiated claims that Healthe Trim supplements would cause rapid and substantial weight loss" and "relied heavily on consumer testimonials that portrayed losing weight as easy," the FTC wrote in an Oct. 24 release. The firm claimed the supplements would "burn fat, increase metabolism, and suppress appetite."
John Matthew Dwyer III, the CEO and co-founder behind Healthe Trim, was banned from the weight-loss industry. The company, HealthyLife Sciences LLC is banned from making seven "scientifically infeasible" weight-loss claims.
9. Ads that claimed using the "ab GLIDER" for three minutes a day "would lead to lost pounds, inches or clothing sizes."
ICON Health & Fitness ads claimed using ab GLIDER alone, or for three minutes a day, would cut pounds, inches or clothing sizes.
This violated a 1997 order against ICON that prohibited it from making "unsubstantiated claims for weight-loss exercise equipment," while also requiring an endorser's claim "reflect a typical user's experience or be accompanied by a clear and prominent disclosure." Given it wasn't clear the results were solely from the ab GLIDER, the firm agreed to pay $3 million in civil penalties to settle FTC charges.

Last month the Heritage Museum of Orange County inaugurated its speakers' series with a presentation by Martin Dietrich, the founder of Dietrich's Coffee. The theme of the series is how various businesses here in Orange County were created, and how they became successful, and that is exactly the information that Dietrich gave us.
Dietrich was raised in Antigua, Guatemala, where he worked at his family's small coffee plantation. But when he became older, he bought a 1962 Volkswagen bus and drove it north to "make his fortune." When he got as far as Corona del Mar, he happened to meet a man in a gasoline station who convinced him that this was the place to live and work, so that's where he stayed. (Dietrich later found out that he had been speaking to the mayor.)
Dietrich began by selling the coffee beans he brought up from Guatemala in a small shop near the 7-Eleven at Irvine Avenue near Westcliff Drive. But soon his customers suggested that he provide them with some coffee while they were buying his beans, which he did. Later he put in a coffee bar next to Hi-Time Wine Cellars near 17th Street in Costa Mesa, and then about 18 months thereafter he opened his first full-fledged coffee house in Tustin.

Benefit from Service
Vacuum pumps and vacuum systems as well as blowers and compressors are important components in many production processes. That's why availability, reliability and efficient operation are so important. This demands expert service capabilities and the use of Genuine Spare Parts from Busch.
In spite of many maintenance-free or low-maintenance components being available today, many production processes demand a degree of safety and availability that goes beyond the demand of single components. Meeting the safety and availability requirements of whole systems can only be guaranteed by individually customised overhaul and maintenance procedures based on the specific production processes.
Selecting the Right Partner
Through our own global service network, we offer service for vacuum pumps, vacuum systems, compressors and blowers using Genuine Spare Parts from Busch. Our philosophy is to look beyond the single vacuum pump or compressor to the supply of vacuum or overpressure to guarantee the highest possible degree of system availability.
We focus on vacuum supply and ensure that our customers are not exposed to any risks resulting from unauthorised part failures by checking that all system components are on the same level of service and by carrying out essential maintenance work in a synchronised way.
Busch generally offers you service options for all vacuum pumps, blowers and compressors on the market.
Busch Service Across All Industries
If service needs to be synchronised with production or general maintenance schedules or needs special certifications, for example, in the case of offshore maintenance or handling of toxic contaminated equipment, Busch can supply the right service at the right time throughout the world.
Always Accessible
Do you manufacture in multiple shift patterns, in different time zones and want the security of knowing that you can reach Busch around the clock? No problem. Upon request, we guarantee 24-hour service technician availability, seven days a week.

When I was growing up in a CBSE school, math was an uncomfortable place.
Was it as squirm worthy as Physics, i cannot clearly recall — and that seemed to be my general malaise "cannot clearly recall"
enter friend. This is the one friend who topped Olympiads, won scholarships for outstanding academic records, made it to IIT, dream universities abroad and still had the heart to teach a classmate a key point on the day before an exam.
These are her tips to me for cracking math and teaching math. since I cannot etch them out in gold, the next best thing I can do is blog…
1. Start with numbers below 10 and slowly scale upwards. Math is very simple, since there are always rules for you to hold on to.
example: To teach mixed fractions. Tell a story of diving two apples to two monkeys. Make it four apples. Make it 10. Make it 9– and you will get the answer four and a half.
do not attempt 227/4 at first.
To teach equivalence divide two apples between two children, three apples between three children, four apples between four children… And show the child patiently how the answer is always one.
2. make sure the child cannot fail. progress slowly. This gives the child confidence and time to assimilate the concept.
3. Maths has an invisible rhythm point. It is like this. You are miserable about the traffic till Poonamallee. Things move slowly till then. And once you reach the highway — you are magically cruising to Bangalore! That happens with math too.
