Gregg Sulkin might be new to the Marvel Universe, but he’s no stranger to working in teen dramas.
Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the minds behind “The O.C.” and “Gossip Girl,” created the new television adaptation currently streaming on Hulu. The new series centers on a group of teenagers who discover their parents are part of a crime organization called the Pride. Sulkin stars as Chase Stein, a lacrosse player with a knack for engineering.
The British actor spoke with Variety about Season 1 of “Runaways,” his thoughts on Hollywood, and what he likes to do around Los Angeles.
Were you a Marvel fan before signing on to the show?
I was a Marvel fan; I like Marvel projects. I had actually never heard of the [“Runaways”] comic, but once I got the role, I then did some research on what “Runaways” was and what “Runaways” meant to people.
How was the project initially introduced to you?
I found out about the role when my team sent me the audition. I didn’t know what the project was for, I didn’t know who was involved, and it was a fake character name. Once I tested, I called Josh Schwartz because they wanted me to sign on to something for seven years that I didn’t know anything about. I was like, “Josh, you’re asking me to sign a seven-year contract without having read a single thing.” But he has a great way of convincing people, so here I am.
What did he say that convinced you?
He kept on reiterating that the show is shot in LA, and I have lived here for nine years, so to sleep in my own bed was a big attraction. Both [Schwartz] and Steph have great success rates and their past track record is incredible, so I felt I was in safe hands. I felt like I was talking to a producer who knew exactly what he wanted, knew exactly what he would be doing with it, and I completely trusted him 100%.
What are some things you learned from working with them?
How to always lighten the mood, if possible. Josh is amazing at that. They have a very interesting dynamic. Josh is very, very outgoing and fun, and Stephanie is a little more of a straight shooter. She’s a little quiet, but when she has something to say, it’s one, very educated, and two, very important. Their dynamic works perfectly together. The main thing I learned from them is always how to treat crew members when you’re in a position of power. They are so lovely to everyone they work with in every department. And I want to get into the production side of things, so to have Josh as a person I can ask questions and be educated by, that’s a big plus for me.
“Runaways” is very rooted in 2017. Do you find it important that the show mirrors current issues?
100%. There are so many things that are touched upon in this show. There’s a little bit of a political standpoint in our show, it’s very subtle, but there’s definitely an opinion shared. It’s important, especially in the political climate that we’re currently in, that people do voice their opinion. It’s important to be heard for the sake of potentially trying to make this world a better place. As long as it’s done in a peaceful manner, not an aggressive one, that’s the way forward.
It’s nice to be on a show that does that in a very smart and educated way. There so many amazing things about the show. We have a lot of diversity, which is great. It’s been a long time since Asian and African American actors have had equal opportunity, so I think that’s crucial. We have a character that is a big feminist and is all about female rights, which is crucial, too.
I’ve heard that the show has done really well.
They don’t, but inside the Hulu family I’ve been told that they are so happy with the show. I would absolutely love to do a second season. I’m not quietly confident — I’m very confident there will be a second season. And if there’s not, we’ve done an incredible first season. Marvel tends to believe in their projects, and Hulu also tends to give their series a chance. From the reaction of the fans, I would be shocked if we aren’t coming back. But you never know, it’s TV!
You were on “Pretty Little Liars,” which has a really insane fan base. Do you notice the same reaction from Marvel?
It’s a different reaction, for sure, but it’s as passionate. The age groups have changed a little bit. On “Pretty Little Liars” or “Wizards of Waverly Place,” it was teenage girls. The other day I was in Fed-Ex printing something out and a couple of dudes came over and said, “Yo, bro. We love your show.” It was very interesting. Not many 13 or 14-year-old men come up to me usually. It’s nice to be able to meet older dudes and have them in my corner.
With all the sexual harassment allegations continuing to unfold, what are your thoughts on the state of the entertainment industry these days?
This has been going on for years. Even as a young actor, I was very close with someone who called me after a hotel room [encounter] and felt uncomfortable. I didn’t know who it was, she never told me. Unfortunately people have turned the other way. They’ve known this is going on and they’ve chosen not to look into it. It’s not acceptable. I just hope it stops. It’s a very scary time for a lot of people. The positive from [this] is people will now look at themselves in the mirror and they’re making sure their behavior is appropriate. Although it’s a very free industry, there must be boundaries, and people have to feel comfortable going to work. I’ve never experienced it myself.
As a male, do you feel it’s important to empower women to come forward?
Absolutely. If they feel something has happened, absolutely, they have to. If they don’t, this will carry on and carry on. People in general should never be using power to gain anything in sexual advances. It’s completely disgusting.
What are your feelings toward social media?
It’s changed the industry massively. I’ve walked into rooms and booked roles because I have a social media presence, and I’ve lost roles to someone with a larger social media presence. The positive [side] of it is you now have your own voice. You don’t need to go through a media outlet to voice your opinion. Also, if the media outlet says something about you, you can share your side of the story. You can have a true representation of yourself. On the bad side, people are always on their phones. Once you’re into this world, it’s just you and the phone, when in fact, social media doesn’t really make a difference; it’s not reality. When you put your phone down, this is reality. Finding a balance between engaging with your fans and being true to who you are while keeping certain parts of your life private, that’s the goal.
Go on dates [laughs]. Too many, too many. I love to play football. I play with all English boys, so it’s like being back in London. I go to viewpoints, like the top of mountains, and look out because it brings be back to when I first moved out here.
Where do you like to go on dates?
I’m not very LA when it comes to that stuff. I really don’t like fancy restaurants. In all honesty, a perfect date for me would be putting on sweats and a hoodie and going to Panera or Chipotle. It’s ideal for me. I like to break down the barriers nice and early because it’s unrealistic — nobody is going to eat at Catch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So why are you going to take somebody [there] and allow them to enter your life? It’s a facade, that’s not who you are. I don’t go to Catch or Nobu every Monday and Wednesday and Thursday. It’s not who I am. I prefer to go to the chill, local spots. In-N-Out is great.
What other venues in LA are you into?
My best friend has a restaurant in Hollywood called Spice, so I sometimes go there. There’s a great place in Sherman Oaks called Public School [818.] There’s a place called Sweet Butter Kitchen, which is a breakfast place in Sherman Oaks. I prefer to eat in the Valley.
I’m not a big nightclub person, but I like bars. On The Rox on Sunset is one of my favorites bars because it’s quiet, it’s got a New York vibe, and people dance. It blows my mind that people in LA don’t really dance. They like to go to a table, spend a lot of money, stand there and look across the room to see who else is standing with a lot of money. That’s how it works. I grew up in London, and nobody cares. The more fun you have, the cooler you are. It’s not linked to status or finances.

Has all this time really past? I know it has been a long time since we talked but I wanted to say hi. Can I have your email address, facebook, twitter account? You were always hip are you on snapchat? How about Instagram surely God has kept up with technology. What is it like up there? Do you eat dim sum on the weekends? Do you see someone you know everywhere you go? Do you get in trouble for singing in the halls and banging on the pipes? Do you end the year with a big cross heaven trip to visit other cultures and explore their traditions? Are you driving Grandma and Grandpa Crazy yet? How are they? Can you see us from up there?
I suppose you may have some questions for me. First off I want you to know we all think of you, my personal memories are few but I hold on to them and I hope never to lose them. The WHOLE family keeps your memory alive and I’m so grateful they share their stories with me. Its how I’ve gotten to know you over the years. As a 5-year-old, I thought you would come back maybe, I had a dream or two about you. In my later years, I came to terms with it, but it was hard.
Have you been watching us while you’re up there? Mom received her bachelor’s degree in education and went on to receive a masters degree in Parish Ministries. She has been a rock through this whole thing. You chose well when you picked my mother as your wife. Beth is well educated too! She has a bachelors in Business and is the best bookkeeper any company could ask for! You would be so proud of them.
Me well no College education but I worked hard working with pre-k children and I work for the department of children and families now helping out the community! Honestly, even though my job may not be as big as others, it has a great reward, I love it, the fact that I am here to help others is the most important thing to me! I want to touch as many hearts as I can, even if that is just a friendly smile. I often think to myself when I feel like, what am I doing with my life….. you know that old negative feeling. I remember sometimes where you are in life is not for you it’s for someone else.
Sometimes when you feel you’re not doing anything in life, you are actually helping someone else. A friend I made out here in Florida was diagnosed with a disorder and confided in me about it. She once said to me “I feel so stuck like I’m not doing anything in life, there is no fulfillment,” she wanted more. I said to her “sometimes it’s not about what you are doing in life but who you are communicating with that matters. For example, if you hadn’t been here for us to meet I would have never been inspired to talk to my doctor and find out what was wrong with me. Now I am in a much better space and I have more understanding of what happens to me.” All because she was in the right place at the right time!
I want to be a supportive rock and mentor just like you and mom the two people who brought me into this world are my role models. Mom is so kind, she would give the shirt off her back for people. Her generosity and empathy are beautiful. I wish you could still see it.
Four years ago I got married to my best friend, he lights up my world and I think you would have liked him, although he is not much of a coffee drinker so he would have asked you for a cup of black tea instead of black coffee. I wish you could meet him I bet you would talk for hours. Beth got married too, she was married last year and just celebrated the first year of marriage. He is a nice guy and they love each other so much!
Mom never remarried I think it was too hard while raising Beth and me. She still thinks of you all the time especially now. Our family is struggling we have been hurt in many different ways. It has been hard to keep it together. In the end, I know it will all work out. If you can daddy send us some help we can really use it. I love you very much and will always miss you.
One of my Dad’s former students, Ryan Berkowitz, reached out to me several months ago to help provide something for my project. She is a songwriter and wrote a song about my dad. She is hoping to use it in an upcoming musical about teaching and teachers. I can’t wait to see how that comes out. I believe it’ll be a great musical but then again I am my fathers daughter and LOVE musical theatre.

I watched 12 Years a Slave last week and have spent the time since thinking about this powerful movie. There is probably no one in what is commonly referred to as "The West" (i.e., Western Europe, Canada, and the U.S.) who needs to be convinced that slavery is a very very bad thing. But, not 300 years ago, it was ubiquitous and the victims weren't all from Africa (the word "slave" comes from "Slavic" as in the peoples of south-eastern Europe, where for a long time Europeans got a lot of their slaves). For about the last 100 years that there was slavery in the West, it coincided with a building consensus that it was very wrong. The barbarity of slavery collided with the idea that "all men are created equal."
The movie, 12 Years a Slave, is based on an autobiographical novel about a free black man who was sold into slavery unjustly and accused of being a run-away slave. In his twelve years as a slave he had owners who were reasonably good to their slaves. But his last owner was a man who took out his insecurities on his slaves, including one beautiful female slave he regularly raped.
Like owners, overseers (the white plantation employees who supervised the slaves) were both good to the slaves or cruel. Imagine all the bad bosses you had having the power of life and death over you.
The movie is bookmarked by a brutal beginning when Solomon Northup, the free black man, is punished for being a run-away, and an even more brutal climax. This movie is well made, has many fine actors and performances, and shows that, in the words of Roy Batty from Blade Runner, "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave." You can see the fear every slave feels: fear of saying or doing the wrong thing which will bring them a flogging, whipping, or lynching.
12 Years a Slave does a better job than any other movie I've seen about what it was like to be a slave in the antebellum South. And when you realize you need to look away from the screen at the reality of it, you realize just how bad slavery was. And is, as there are still places where it is practiced, ironically, mostly in Africa.

Thanks guys for materially adding to our Zag fun (and addiction!). Well done.
Sorry it didn't work out, fellas. You've been a valuable resource.
Follow them @ZagsWillMarch and see what happens. The next incarnation could be even better, no more baby steps in those slippers.
On the cusp of GUs golden year, seems especially sad.
Ugh yeah this stinks - I always loved their game write ups and recruiting stories!
Well thats just not the news I was looking to start my Friday off with.
Again, it sounds like this is more of a moving on/changing of ventures than an end to what they do. Best wishes moving forward.
Thank You for all you both did in keeping us updated with current information. I will miss stopping by on a regular basis to catch up.
Meh. If they are getting another site, then I'm all good. If they are stopping completely, MK and I, and a few others might need to do some talking.
Superior insights. I will miss SSF. Thanks for everything guys. You might think about FOX sports giving you a position for NW sports. We surely have little now.
Hillary, I mean Doc, empty your dam emails already.
Look forward to hearing where the new site pops up.
Thanks, gentlemen, for the intelligence and insight you shared. You and your forum made us all more knowledgable and better Zag fans. We (at least those of us who do not do social media) will miss you very, very much. Wish you the best fortune in every aspect of your lives.
Unless you gentlemen are replaced by something of 2/3 your quality or better, this will be a big loss for us koolaid slurpers and zag fan devotees. The whole fan base really.
Zach and Max did a great job. I recall treating them to an Italian dinner at Ferraro's in the valley and it was exciting to hear what all they'd be doing. Was always pulling for them. They have great futures ahead of them. A couple of really good guys.
I've found following Zagaholic @ZagsGuru on Twitter is an excellent source of info if you're looking.
Guys, I have followed your page for the last few years. It was part of my day. Check GU board and then yours. Thanks for the great times. Sorry to see you go.
We hope to have a new site up in running in the coming weeks or months but will be taking some time to enjoy our newborn boys (yep, we each have one!) and screaming about Gonzaga basketball from our couches and, of course, new Twitter handle.
Will SSF continue under new staff / ownership ? Or will it go dark ?
Good luck with your future endeavors. Enjoyed SSF and considered it a fine resource for Zags coverage.

There are infinite ways to coach a volleyball team. Out of all the inifinite ways we have chosen an approach that simplifies teaching, relies on science, and has proven principles. While there are clubs out there that have found success with other approaches, this is the approach that works for us and our teams. While we would like to take credit for this approach, we owe thanks to Gold Medal Squared for sharing their winning approach with us.
So what is it? How does it work? You could visit the Gold Medal Squared website to learn more or you can read highlights to our approach here.
MOTOR LEARNING is when complex processes in the brain occur in response to the experience of a certain skill resulting in changes in the central nervous system that allow for the formation of a new motor skill. By limiting information with simple teaching keys we can accelerate the rate at which athletes learn new skills.
REPS MATTER. Receiving the right type of repetitions is vital to an athletes growth. While we will use some blocked drills to initiate skill training, we quickly transition to cognitive drills and random, game like drills. We love drills that translate to the game and prepare players for the unexpected!
DELIVERING FEEDBACK. Do it correctly, and the athlete takes a step forward. Do it poorly, and the reverse happens. Our coaches deliver timely, vivid, and accurate feedback so athletes can build skills more rapidly.
PASSION. Benjamin Bloom, an educational psychologist, described 3 periods in an athelete's lifecycle: The Romantic Period, the Technical Period, and the Mature Period. The romantic Period occurs between the ages of 6 and 13. It's where athletes explore and discover. Where they learn basic skills. It's also where they learn to love or hate a sport. At age 14, the biggest drop in interest in a sport happens. We create a fun learning environment that develops skills and inspires passion for the sport of volleyball, encouraging them to continue to the next level.
The first practice is November 4. All practices are held at The Edge Sports Academy in Twinsburg.

Writer-director Josh Mond has an interesting arrangement with his longtime friends Sean Durkin and Antonio Campos, who are partners at Borderline Films. While one of the three is writing and directing a feature, the other two are there along the way, producing the movie and offering support in myriad ways. While the trajectory of Borderline Films has, to this point, kept Mond in the role of producer for such acclaimed festival hits as Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene and Campos’ Afterschool, he moved into the director’s chair this year with James White, starring Cynthia Nixon and Christopher Abbott. The film has picked up an Indie Spirit nom for Best First Feature, and Mond couldn’t be more excited. “My partners both got the same nomination, so I feel like I’m in good company,” he says.
Casting was another area where relationships cultivated by Mond and his partners paid huge dividends. “I’ve known [casting director] Susan Shopmaker since I was like a kid,” Mond says. “She’s done pretty much every movie we’ve ever done, and she’s family.” Shopmaker was crucial in securing Nixon, and also introduced Mond and company to Abbott on Martha Marcy — he’s now a close friend and frequent collaborator. And Durkin and Campos were present throughout production, giving notes and coaching Mond through the process. “I’ve been looking for something to say for a long time, and from the beginning Antonio was encouraging to explore something personal, and so was Sean,” says Mond.
Logistically, James White came together pretty seamlessly, given the support of Mond’s partners, as well as Abbott, who was a presence throughout. Certainly, directing a major star was intimidating—“(Cynthia Nixon) has worked with everybody from Sidney Lumet to Mike Nichols” — but once this awareness faded a bit, Mond found in Nixon a strong advocate and an actress willing to make herself vulnerable in the pursuit of a great performance.
Nixon connected with Mond’s script, about a young New Yorker who tries to keep it together while his mother battles cancer. He lost her own mother only a couple months prior to filming, and she also related strongly to Mond, both being from the Upper West Side. For Mond, most of the challenges were emotional ones, like watching some of the most raw scenes of the film play out in front of him, for example. “It was hard to be vulnerable, but the movie was cast and crewed in such a way that it couldn’t have been a better circumstance for me to let go,” he says.
Mond survived the trial by fire and came out on the other side with a half-dozen major accolades, many more nominations and those filmmaker-to-watch praises. He’s also just as excited about what’s still to come—namely, Antonio Campos’ period piece Christine, and Nicolas Pesce’s The Eyes Of My Mother, two films he produced that will debut at the Sundance Film Festival this month.

With the physical plant coming together, so are some of the rest of the pieces. For starters, the school has secured all its needed corporate partners for its inaugural year. More than two dozen companies have committed to hiring students to help them offset their tuition, while immersing these young people in professional environments.
And students are interested. Currently, the school has drawn approximately 125 applications for its 125 seats. Of those, 40 prospective students and their families have been interviewed, with 25 committed so far.
“We’re one-fifth of the way to seating our first freshman class,” Schwarz adds.
At the same time, school officials are drawing many inquiries for faculty and staff positions. They anticipate the hiring and interview process to begin soon.
Cristo Rey St. Viator Las Vegas College Preparatory is the latest in the 32-member Cristo Rey Network to prepare to open this year. Known for its innovative work study program and college prep education, the school aims to educate young people of limited economic means to become men and women of faith, purpose and service.

"What can pain on the side of my body be?"
Zocdoc›Answers›What can pain on the side of my body be?
The pain is litterally on the left side of my body . From 5-6 inches under my arm near the side of my breast to about the height of my belly button. But it is on the side of my body along where my arms would rest. it feels like a burning pain and it comes and goes. Sometimes its more towards the front of my body and sometime i feel the same pain on the right sede. I had gallbladder surgery so I know it isnt gallstones. I have had this pain about 4 years ago on my right side and this is when they discovered my gallstones. After having gallbladder surgery, I started having the same pain on the left side. Now it is more prominent on the left side but i do feel it on the right side sometime. please help me!
It doesn't sound like you have talked to a doctor about this problem yet, so my first piece of advice would be to set up a visit as soon as possible with your primary care doctor. Abdominal pain that goes on like this without getting better definitely needs to be investigated with a thorough physical exam and potentially some other testing as well. There are many causes of abdominal pain, and it is hard to narrow down the list of possible causes just from the information you provide in your question. Diffuse abdominal pain on the entire left side of your abdomen, such as you describe could be caused by trouble with constipation, or irritable bowel syndrome. It could also be caused by a range of different food intolerances, like lactose intolerance or celiac disease. Infections of the intestine by different viruses or bacteria can also cause these symptoms. Sometimes abdominal pain is a sign of a serious medical problem require immediate evaluation. If you have severe pain, bloody bowel movements, or fevers, then you should go to see your doctor, or go to an emergency room, immediately. Otherwise, schedule the earliest office visit with your primary care doctor that you can get.

The goal is to percolate rainwater into the ground and recharge the water tables while reducing overland run-off. These systems have the capacity to infiltrate thousands of gallons of run-off while remaining completely invisible from site and virtually maintenance free. We have been implementing these systems for over 10 years and we have pioneered many new techniques and products to maximize overall efficiency. These systems are custom designed for each specific site and may be eligible for cost sharing grants to help offset expenses.

Good morning! I can not understand how SH K-Star make the ratings (yesterday they all had a bigger score than today, as if a new competition had begun). Yesterday Park Si Hoo was on the 1 st place, today it’s on second place with a 1 point difference. Lovely Horribly is already second, with the same percentage as 1st. We know what we have to do, right?
Good morning Dana! Yes, the voting week always starts again from zero every Saturday after midnight Korean time. It is not unusual then that Park Si Hoo is not immediately on 1st spot. Depends on how many had already voted in the early hours!
I think it will take some effort to get “Lovely Horribly” on 1st spot. Absolutely it has lower points, but in percentage it beats the present number one “Queen of Reason Season 2”. Once all fans are aware “Lovely Horribly” is in the voting list, no doubt, it will take possession of 1st spot!
Just left my vote for today. “Lovely Horribly” tops the list now with 40.25% and 7.509 points!

If you are dealing with anxiety and depression, you can experience breakthroughs with this accelerated healing method. Rapid Resolution Therapy is gentle and painless. Symptoms and root causes are eliminated without reliving traumatic events or pain from the past.
Traditional methods such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) are time oriented, taking many weeks even years, while Rapid Resolution Therapy is task oriented. By working all facets of the mind, once the task is complete, your mind is cleared.
Rapid Resolution Therapy is quick and lasting. With our highly trained practitioners, individuals report an immediate sense of peace, clarity, and energy. Desired change can happen in one to two sessions, and is preferred over spending long periods in traditional therapy.
If you have been stuck and unable to successfully change your feelings, thoughts or behaviors, it is likely that you are being affected by experiences from your past. When fueled by the ongoing influence of past events, emotional problems, troubling thoughts, destructive behaviors and relationship difficulties can seem impossible to overcome. Attempting to bring about enduring change without eliminating these “ghosts from the past” is like trying to repair the structure of a building by applying a coat of paint.
Rapid Resolution Therapy® eliminates the ongoing effect stemming from disturbing or painful experiences. Trauma is resolved gently and painlessly. The conflict blocking desired change disappears. Because the root causes of problems are pinpointed and cleared, positive changes endure. Negative emotions and destructive behavioral patterns are eliminated. There are dramatic improvements in thoughts, feelings and behavior.

Here you'll learn about what a lottery license is, and how to apply for one. Make sure you read this section carefully before booking your appointment.
What is a Lottery License?
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission (AGCO) is responsible for administering the lottery licensing program in the province. Municipalities and the AGCO are responsible for issuing lottery licences to eligible charitable and religious organizations. Eligible charitable and religious organizations may raise funds through provincially or municipally licensed lottery events.
Lottery licensing refers to lottery schemes permitted by a licence under the Criminal Code of Canada. Typically, these may include bingos, raffles, break open tickets and social gaming events held by charitable or religious organizations. In Ontario, Order in Council 1413/08 authorizes the licensing framework for eligible charitable or religious organizations to hold lottery events and sets out the limits of municipal and provincial licensing. Licensed charitable or religious organizations must conduct and manage their events in accordance with licensing policies and the terms and conditions of the licences and fulfill all prescribed reporting requirements. Information on conducting and managing lottery events can be found in Lottery Licensing Policy Manual, which provides an outline of the legal and policy framework and administrative procedures for lottery licensing purposes.
Order in Council 1413/08 - Authorizes the licensing framework for charitable organizations to hold lottery events and sets out the limits of municipal and provincial licensing.
You are encouraged to review the AGCO terms and conditions, and forms to be aware of lottery licensing requirements in the Province of Ontario. The AGCO Lottery Licensing Policy Manual is updated from time to time. The most recent updates by the AGCO took place "Winter 2012". Review the Manual to ensure you have the most up-dated information.
You are also encouraged to make an appointment at Town Hall if you have specific concerns about your application, the requirements, etc., to ensure that a staff member is available to assist.
PLEASE NOTE: Although municipal authority to issue lottery licenses has been granted by the Order-in-Council, along with additional approval to develop documentation for licensing purposes, it is with the policies and manuals established by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. Therefore the Town of Aylmer Lottery Licensing Officer is bound by the guidelines and procedures set out by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario in determining organization eligibility and the issuance of lottery licences.

The main town of Junagadh is very different too. Junah – old, is the right word for it. The houses, the clothing, the shops, the language; the old way of life continues here. Crumbly mansions with central courtyards, afternoon siestas, men in their huge red turbans and old ladies in backless cholis; frankly, I was quite taken in.
The Darbar museum is a quaint old place with a suitably old caretaker in charge. The museum is not very elaborate but it allows you a glimpse into the life of the rulers of Junagadh. This used to be the place where the last Nawab conducted his daily meetings – his darbar. Don’t be surprised if the museum suddenly loses electricity, like it did when I was in the textile section. It adds to the experience and is part of the charm. The caretaker was as fussy as the old royals might have been, and insistent that I follow a particular path and not backtrack between rooms.
As a child I loved the zoo, but as I grew up I realized they were not the place of happy memories I imagined them to me. They were places where animals were held in, often tiny, enclosures against their will. As an adult, I have been to some excellent zoo facilities like the San Diego zoo and the Singapore zoo, yet I thoroughly enjoyed the zoo at Junagadh. Sakkarbaug Zoological Garden, also known as Sakkarbaug Zoo or Junagadh Zoo a 200-hectare (490-acre) zoo housing mostly big cats in big cages. They do have some other interesting exhibits, but the main draw is the big cats. Going by the standards of modern zoos, where the enclosures are spacious and mimic the natural habitat of the animal the house, this zoo should be immediately shut down. Yet, I feel this is one of the best zoos I’ve been to. The enclosures may be small, but they are clean, shady and there is water. They animals look fit and well cared for. They have the expression of royalty, resigned to their fate as prisoners. It brings you up and close with the animals, shows you magnificent they are, and makes you realize that they do not belong in these cages.
The other fun part at the zoo were the people. Couples, families, children – all happily posed for me. Not just that they even came up to me and asked for their picture to be taken. I wish I had some way to send those pictures to them!
Shhhh – I touched the underside/pad of a tiger’s foot.
Loath as I was to leave Gir, I had to skip the loving invitation by a local lady to a traditional home cooked meal and move on. The next stop on my itinerary was Junagadh – the old fort. In 1947, when India and Pakistan got independence from the British Empire and became independent of each other, Junagadh was the only state where a plebiscite was held. Junagadh chose India. This is what most of us (in India) studied in history class. As we grew older, a few more details were revealed. The Nawab of Junagadh, being a Muslim wanted to accede to Pakistan but since an overwhelming population of the state was Hindu and they did not accept this, a plebiscite was held. The story ends with the wicked Nawab and his family being forced to flee to Pakistan.
The truth about Junagadh’s plebiscite is slightly more complicated. When the Nawab of Junagadh decided to accede to Pakistan, India refused to accept his decision. India cut off supplies of fuel and coal to Junagadh, severed air and postal links, sent troops to the frontier, and occupied the principalities of Mangrol and Babariawad that had declared their independence from Junagadh and acceded to India. The Nawab and his family fled to Pakistan following clashes with Indian troops and here is where the story gets a little more interesting. When he fled, he gavehe handed over the administration to his Diwan (or administrator) Shahnawaz Bhutto. Soon, Shahnawaz Bhutto too fled to Pakista and his family went on to become a leading political family there. Soon after the plebiscite was held. The example of Junagadh has often been quoted in the case of Kashmir, where the Hindu ruler acceded to India presumable against the wishes of his Muslim majority subjects, but no plebiscite was held.
Junagadh is however, far older and its history goes much further back in time. My first stop is the old fort – Uparkot. This ancient fort is believed to have been built in 319 BC by the Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, and extended through the times. The fort has been besieged 16 times, and legend has it that the fort once withstood a 12-year siege. Key to this 12-year siege survival, were the great underground granaries and Navghan Kuvo – a 52m deep step well. The well is partially hewn out of soft rock and partially built up structurally, but this is not the only uncommon aspect of this well. This well has a spiral staircase, as opposed to easier to navigate straight stairs. Imagine having to climb back up the 52m elevation, with a pot on your head on a dimly lit spiral staircase.
There is another step well close by – Adi Kadi Vav. This one is carved entirely out of hard rock. It is said that when no water was found even after going really deep, the king sacrificed two virgins on the advice of his priest. Lo-behold – water was found. The well supposedly gets its name from those two ill-fated girls.
At the top of both wells, are a series of pigeon holes – ancient post offices of sorts. I somehow found this very fascinating. In recent times people have taken to building little stone pagodas in these niches, and all around this area. People also carry water from the well up in their mouths and spill it over their pagodas in some bizarre wish fulfilment ritual. Given the smell and colour of the water, it could only be a death wish!
Close by is a three-storied complex of caves carved out of the rock about 2000 years ago, by Buddhist monks. The caves are remarkable clean. In fact all of Junagadh’s monuments are exceptionally well maintained, except for the water in the wells. The quietness here is a welcome respite from the general noise and hullabaloo of tourist centres.
The cattle of Saurashtra have the most beautiful faces and gracefully curved horns I have ever seen.

Perhaps it’s not the most exciting news in social media land, but I think it’s certainly some of the stealthiest.
Google+ has just announced ‘restricted communities’ to complement ‘restricted posts’. Not particularly glamorous, but what it does do is open the doors for enterprises to start adopting the tool internally, safe in the knowledge that restricted information would be much less likely to breach the corporate firewall.
It also gives Google potentially huge amounts more sensitive corporate data to crawl over and index, but that’s another thing entirely.
Is Google + finally going to come of age?
I’ve long argued that Google+’s ‘public’ profiles are something of a stalking horse for Google’s more corporate aspirations. And at the end of August, the (former) search engine took another giant leap into offering collaboration and content software for enterprises by launching a set of Google+ features specially for businesses.
The quietly-announced development means that some corporates can formally use some of Google+’s innovative features as part of the suite of Google apps. Group video conferencing (on hangouts) during which teams can share, discuss and edit (google) docs in real-time is now a reality.
The battle-lines are increasingly being drawn for enterprise-level ‘social’ software. Microsoft recently bought Yammer, and IBM has long been active, along with Salesforce and Jive and a number of other players. It’s only a matter of time before Facebook makes a play in this financially-lucrative market.
The days of organisations being tied down to using what came bundled with Microsoft Office are drawing to an end.
And the days of organisations starting to build communications networks structured around the ways that people actually like to communicate are beginning.
The more exposure the C-suite have to listening tools like Radian6, Sysomos, Onalytica et al, the more that CEOs will want to influence what they say. So-called ‘soft’ metrics are never going to have the clout of harder, ROI or savings-based metrics, but they will grow in importance.
Measuring influence is so totally dependent of the context, that the one-size-fits-all approach will be shown up. Just as it’s impossible to answer “what’s the most important newspaper” without knowing why the question is being asked, it’s also impossible to answer “who is the most influential person on Twitter?” without knowing why. That won’t stop loads of people peddling ridiculous ‘league tables’ of influence though.
They add no value. The people who will add value though, are the ones who can apply social tools to solve business-problems, ranging from cutting call-centre costs (by using more social channels) to increasing website conversions, or reducing staff-churn.
They are therefore likely to have more experience and a broader business perspective than one particular discipline. Already we’re seeing agencies like Dachis, Altimeter and Edelman blend these skills together. We like to think we do the same here.
But having said that – watch IBM as they start to make major inroads into the comms side of social business in 2012. The Lotusphere conference is a fascinating insight into what’s just around the corner – and proves that IBM have beaten both Facebook and Google to building enterprise social business tools.
Asking people to click ‘like’ if they’ve had a good weekend, or simply not responding to the hundreds of comments on a question a brand asks is only going to work for so long before people start to realise the shallowness of many of the “relationships” they have. Brands are going to have to work harder than ever before to cut through. This is a massive opportunity for Google+ – a platform where people already have a ‘functional’ relationship with a brand, and where expectations for an ‘emotional’ relationship are close to non-existant.
Just before Christmas G+ saw its first page (Britney Spears, natch) clock over 1 million fans. The only way is up. Google will factor G+ pages into search results worldwide, the platform will improve, and more brands (and people) will start to see the potential for two-way targeted (by circle) communications which Facebook will never be able to deliver.

Exhibition view. La Capella, Barcelona.
Booklet of drawings. La Capella, Barcelona.
During the month of September of 2006 I made a trip to Los Angeles, California, in search of details, traces and consequences of the legendary performance Shoot carried out by Chris Burden in 1971.
The project started out with the simple aim of having a conversation or interview with Burden himself but, as it evolved, my attention strayed more and more towards the elements that were thrown up during the complicated process of trying to persuade the artist to agree. I finally reached a point at which, without losing sight of my initial objective, these elements that I had gathered from all my meetings with people connected to the story, the information I had compiled, my visits to places associated with the performance and the very journey I made as part of my quest became the ingredients for my work.
The project’s title is taken from the name of the company which now occupies the premises that housed the F-Space gallery all those years ago, and which is engaged in printing and selling balloons. (incluir que aqui es donde sucedió el performance hace años) After several attempts, I finally managed to persuade the company owner, Gray, to let me look around the premises and to grant me the time I needed to tell him what had happened there thirty-five years before. During our conversation, I saw that he had become most curious about it all, and I thought that from that day on the place would never again seem the same to him. I also realised that my own reading of Shoot had changed. The time I had spent travelling and all the elements I had found had become inextricably related to the video, the photos and the texts on the performance that I was familiar with.
The documentation from this experience consists of some photographs I took during my exploration at "National Balloon" and a selection of forty-four drawings of sites, memories, interpretations, conversations and people involved over the course of the project.

On a day in 1947, toward evening, some Beduin teenagers were rounding up their flock on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. Muhammad e-Deb, 14 years old, threw a stone into a cave to scare out any goat that might have taken shelter there. He heard something break. The next morning, moved by thoughts of treasure, the young man went back and made the most exciting archaeological discovery of all time.
In the cave were jars, and in one or two of them bundles, which proved to be writings on parchment 2000 years old, preserved in the dry air of the wilderness. Thus began the modern saga of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
An archaeological team explored the other caves of the region (though the Beduin were often first), finding scrolls in a total of 11. Altogether parts of 900 documents have been recovered. The 4th cave alone yielded 16,000 fragments, extracted from dirt and guano. It was like facing an unknown number of jigsaw puzzles all mixed together. The Cave 4 scrolls were in pieces partly because they hadn't been stored in covered jars like those in Cave 1.Also, to judge from the many straight edges, the Romans may have cutthem up on conquering the place in 68 AD. Out of the 16,000 fragments, parts of 600 scrolls have been restored.
Why were the Qumran scrolls so exciting? Ordinarily, archaeologists have to make do with interpreting artifacts. When they are lucky, these include inscriptions. But here they had a whole library, opening a window on a way of thinking and experiencing that characterized a Jewish group from around the time of Jesus.
A kilometer south of the first cave was a modest ruin called in Arabic khirbet qumran, the ruin of Qumran. This Arabic name, meaning double moon, may refer to the moon and its reflection in the adjacent Dead Sea. The residents of 2000 years ago would have known the place as Sekakah, mentioned in their Copper Scroll (found in Cave 3) and centuries earlier in Joshua 15:61. The name Sekakah may refer to the reeds with which roofs can be made.
In 1951, Jordan (which then controlled the area) authorized an archaeological expedition under the French scholar Roland de Vaux. The excavators of Qumran/Sekakah supposed that the site would be connected to the scrolls, and this remains the consensus. Various factors speak for a connection: (1) The dates when the site was inhabited coincide with those of the scrolls (dated by the forms of the Hebrew letters), although some scrolls are earlier by 50 years or so. (2) Five of the 11 caves holding scrolls were accessible only via the site. (3) The scrolls require frequent ritual bathing, namely, before each meal and before the nightly study of scripture; this very small site contains 10 large ritual baths. (4) In a long windowless room 4 inkwells were found, as well as a long plaster table, plus numerous oil lamps (they wrote at night, according to the scrolls); all of these probably fell from the room above when an earthquake or the Romans destroyed the second story. (5) The tall, cylindrical jars in which some of the scrolls were foundare similar to jars found in pieces on the site, and such jars are not common elsewhere. These five pieces of evidence, when taken together, strongly point to a connection between the site and the scrolls. Against this view, nonetheless, a few scholars hold that the scrolls were brought from Jerusalem at the time of the First Revolt and hidden in the caves, and that the site was merely an industrial complex or emporium related to trade on the Dead Sea.
If Qumran was some sort of community or monastic center, where did the members live? The built part could not have housed more than fifty or so. In 1995, however, Hanan Eshel noticed trails leading down into gullies near the site. He explored them with a metal detector and found hundreds of metal sandal nails, as well as coins from the period in question (the Second Temple period). Following these trails westward, he discovered that they led to caves, of which five were excavated. These contained pottery from the time. So at least some of Qumran's residents (200 at the most) had lived in caves near the site, going back and forth on these trails and occasionally losing a sandal nail. Others may have lived in tents or booths on the plateau where the community building stood.
In many of the scrolls, a group appears whose practices and beliefs resemble those of a group designated as the Essenes by Josephus, Philo, and Pliny the Elder. According to Wise, Abegg, and Cook, p. 13, about 40% of the nonbiblical documents "presuppose a particular kind of [social-religious] organization and share a distinctive set of doctrines, a unique theological vocabulary, and a special perspective on history." Those who wrote these sectarian scrolls referred to themselves not by the name Essenes, however, rather as the Yahad, which is Hebrew for "unity."
1. Like the Essenes of Josephus, one subdivision of the Yahad practiced a kind of communism: each member gave the community all his property, in turn receiving from the others what he needed.
2. They believed in a strict form of predestination.
3. They believed in a rigid dualism of spirit and flesh.
4. They required a trial year before membership, followed by one (scrolls) or two (Josephus) years of probation.
5. They forbade spitting in the midst of the assembly.
6. There was a strong emphasis on ritual bathing.
Wise, Abegg, and Cook (op. cit., pp. 25-26) also mention discrepancies between the scrolls and the descriptions by the three classical authors. These can be explained, however, without giving up the equation between the Yahad and a particular subgroup of the Essenes. For example, one of the scrolls, the Damasus Document, does not require celibacy, but the Manual of Discipline does. Philo and Pliny describe the Essenes as celibate. Josephus, however, mentions two Essene orders: one celibate and one not.
Also, the descriptions by Josephus, Philo and Pliny are not extensive (Josephus, the longest, has twelve paragraphs on the Essenes in his Jewish War plus one in the Antiquities), whereas the scrolls take up hundreds of pages. We would not expect the classical authors to mention all the points that are salient in the scrolls. An argument from silence is not persuasive. In War..., for instance, Josephus does not mention the leading role of the priests among the Essenes, but he does do so in the Antiquities (XVIII 1, 5). The three classical sources do not mention the solar calendar, so prominent in the scrolls, which stands in contrast with the lunar calendar of the Pharisees, who founded today's normative Judaism. But the classical sources do not discuss the calendar at all. Moreover, Josephus writes about the Essenes as if they identified God with the sun (War II Chapter 8, Pars. 5 and 9).
Two scrolls (the Damascus Document and the Ordinances) contain regulations about the treatment of slaves, whereas Philo and Josephus maintained that the Essenes had none. But Philo appears to be projecting his own philosophy onto the Essenes; the egalitarianism he attributes to them is contradicted by his own descriptions of their hierarchy. As for Josephus, he mentions the avoidance of slaves in the same breath with the avoidance of marriage. As with marriage, his description should probably be limited to a particular subdivision among the Essenes.
"Thousands of ages" is an exaggeration: the order existed, at most, from 200 BC to 68 AD (and probably only from 100 BC). And we don't know what "lying below" would have meant. But the notion that the Essenes lived on the west side of the Dead Sea fits well with the caves around Qumran, where the scrolls were found.
In summary, it seems right to identify the Yahad of the scrolls with a subgroup of the Essenes. Let us now hear more about them.

First of all, what is a newsletter? For those that are starting to get serious about email marketing, there is a tendency to call many email communications a newsletter. Although this is not incorrect, because well.. everything that you send out is news to your readers, it still helps to differentiate between types of email so that every person in your team is on board with how it should be constructed, what it needs to contain.
In this category we can include notification emails, dedicated email and transactional emails. This type of email is sent out automatically when the receiver executes a certain action like subscribe to a blog, buy a product, send an email to a department in the company and so on. Your interests here are: to build habitual communication between your company and clients and to take advantage of the high click-through rate (CTR) these emails get by including a highly customised call to action (CTA).
Email for double-opt in with account confirmation link.
Welcome email after registration, your chance to build credibility and trust.
Shopping Cart Abandonment email to remind and get the client back.
Goods back in stock email.
Tip: You can use email solutions to automate and optimise your internal communications or updates, building your brand image by starting from inside your company.
The emails in this stage are new product or promotional emails, product advice and educational emails. These types of emails are basically marketing emails and they contain information and incentives in order to determine the receiver to take certain action like follow a link for more information, purchase something on enter a partnership. Your interests here are: to build brand image, loyalty and to cross-sell and upsell.
Co-marketing emails, in which to associate your company with an impressive known enterprise.
Birthday or anniversary email, rewarding loyalty.
New product or Sales/promotions announcements.
Tutorial on how to use the products and advice on how to combine them with other products.
In this stage the emails you will encounter will be reminder emails, testimonial or survey email, sponsorship and event invitation emails. These emails are determined by the end of the sales stage; after a customer gets a product they purchased or when a relationship between the client and your company is well defined. Your interest in this stage is to: make sure the sale gets closed and to gather valuable information from your clients that you can use in the future to bring them better services and peek the curiosity of other potential customers.
Email to remind customers of an invoice.
Sponsorship emails, you pay for inclusion of your copy in another vendor’s newsletter or dedicated send.
Email to ask for a review.
Target your emails by segmenting the email list and personalising your campaign to engage effectively and avoid the spam folder. The number and structure of the emails you send to your new users must be of course in harmony with your email marketing strategy.
Luckily, you don’t have to spend a small fortune to build your own email strategy. Email solutions can be found according to your needs. For Joomla! based company websites, RSMail! does a great job, helping you build your email list and start sending out relationship strengthening communications. It will be easy for you to track progress, such as click-through rate, conversion rate, and leads generated from an individual send, and to use that information to increase your results further.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has accused Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho of "destroying Spanish football" after an ill-tempered denouement to the Supercopa final.
Barcelona took the silverware as a Lionel Messi brace secured a 3-2 victory but there was still time for another Real red card as a brutal challenge from Marcelo saw him dismissed late on. A huge melee unfolded involving players, substitutes and staff from both sides, with Mesut Ozil and David Villa both shown red despite having already been substituted.
"I do not talk about the brawl. But it's a shame, it is not the first time and it's always the same," Pique told Marca.
Mourinho, meanwhile, may come under scrutiny for his role in the fracas as he was pictured heading towards Barca coach Tito Vilanova and making contact with his face.
Vilanova responded by pushing Mourinho, who walked away grinning. After the game Pique fumed at the Portuguese's actions.
"Someone has to take action on the matter. Mourinho is destroying Spanish football. There is talk about the Catalans, but the problem is with Madrid," Pique added.
"I think it's going too far. It cannot always end well. In the end this will end very badly."
Mourinho's opposite number Pep Guardiola did not wade into the issue but had a word of caution for those involved in the tense atmosphere on the pitch.
"The images speak for themselves," he told Marca.
"We must be careful, because one day we will cause harm, not on the field but off, and we're all a little responsible for this. "

I'm calling it a fluke. For it to happen to both Cole & McHugh back-to-back days tells me this isn't something to be worried about. Gerrit Cole said he was tipping his pitches on Saturday, Chris Woodward said Jose Leclerc was tipping his pitches after his blow up today. McHugh's first 4 starts were very encouraging and this one seems like an outlier. Albeit one that lost me my matchup.
That’s not going to happen anytime soon. McHugh losing his rotation spot, I mean. Don’t know what’s going on in Arlington, but with Cole giving up 9 runs last night, I’m sure the Astros are just looking forward to the series being over with. McHugh has looked great before today.
What happened in the Twins game? Polanco got on 3rd base, but ESPN doesn't show Jorge to have a hit or walk/stolen base. Wild pitches?
Touki pulled after 1.1 innings, 6 hits, 7 earned runs, 1 walk and 2 strikeouts. 3 HBP against the Indians. Unfortunate. Never want to see any young pitcher hit a wall that hard. But that just, more than likely, pushed him to the bullpen.
Another homer from Avisail. A lot has been made about the Rays' acquisition of Yandy Diaz from the Indians, but perhaps the White Sox were overlooking Garcia as well. Last year, from June 26th to July 7th (12 games), I remember he had eight home runs but an injury took him out for a couple of weeks and he wasn't the same the rest of the season. Hopefully he can continue having regular playing time. For what it's worth, Garcia is second to Meadows (.347) in average (.318 on the year).
No, there hasn’t been any news. Good sign that the Braves want to see how Touki & Fried do this weekend. If they weren’t thinking about keeping Soroka, they would have called up another reliever. I suppose there’s the chance it hasn’t been reported yet.
Yes. They're a middle to below average offense. They've had a few breakout games but a lot of duds also.
Here's an article from two weeks ago after Soroka threw 5 perfect innings with 7 strikeouts. "I'm fully healthy," the 2017 Futures Game participant said. "I'm just building up from Spring Training. It's my job to go out there and be a good teammate just like I did any other day and compete. A lot of my best friends are here. It doesn't change what you're trying to do every single day." And an article from January. "It was about being able to move my scapula properly," Soroka said. "I had some muscles that were overactive and some others that were underactive. It wasn't so much about arm action or anything like that. It was more of an issue of just being able to move properly." [About Soroka being shut down in 2018] Multiple MRIs showed no sign of structural damage, but instead of rushing the then-20-year-old back to the mound, the Braves instead allowed him time to get healthy and get a better feel for the stretching and maintenance exercises he'll likely need throughout the rest of his career. Hopefully he can go out today and prove the concerns are a bit unwarranted. It does seem like the Braves are being overly careful.
Who knows what the Braves are thinking? I think it’s very telling that they are giving Soroka this spot start. Touki impressed in relief of Wright (?) but I’d like to see what happens when the opposition can plan a little. As for Fried, I’m not sure he’s ready to be a steady arm all year long. Nothing’s out of the question. I want to see what Soroka does tomorrow and how Touki and Fried perform this weekend. Will likely have a better idea if Soroka’s got a shot to steal a spot by Monday.
In 2016, at the age of 26, Eickhoff pitched 197 innings for the Phillies with a 3.65 ERA and was a break out pitcher, but in the last few years has had trouble staying on the field. Today, he was called up by the Phils and proceeded to pitch a 4 inning save with 3 hits, no runs, no walks and 6 strikeouts, and threw a lot of swinging strikes, after Nick Pivetta left the game (5 innings pitched, 7 hits, 3 earned runs, 3 walks and 2 K). This is after he looked solid in Triple A to begin the year, pitched well in spring training (didn't make rotation because of the past injury history), and had 8 Ks over 3 innings in a brief appearance at the end of the 2018 season. If you own Nick Pivetta, you might want to pick up Eickhoff as a handcuff. I don't think it's out of the question Kapler saw enough tonight from Eickhoff to let Pivetta work on some things in the minors. That decision might be aided by the fact that Eickhoff is now on the same schedule as Pivetta. It's not necessarily probable, but you should keep an eye on Eickhoff and any Phillies news tomorrow.
Kapler went out of his way to get him in the lineup last year. And Segura left today with a hamstring injury/tightness (not too serious). I imagine we’ll see him 4-5 days a week if he keeps hitting like this. And long term, it’s not out of the question he steals regular time from Franco or Hernandez (though they both have earned their at-Bats). There’s reason to be skeptical of his impact, but Kapler couldn’t stop talking about Kingery in 2018 and I want to see where this goes.
I dropped him (12 team league). I think he'll bouneback at some point, later this summer or next year, but for now, the chance he not only duplicates last year's numbers but surpasses them is very slim. He's batting towards the end of the order, and manager David Bell has no reason to believe he should move up it, since he was not with the Reds last season when Peraza broke out. I drafted him with the hope he could evolve even further as a hitter, but I'm worried he might be taking a step back.
Always pay attention to guys with good plate discipline (49 BB to 46 K last year) who start developing a power swing. Winker has been irrelevant so far, but with the 2 homers he hit recently, if he can give you 15 homers, 70 RBI and .300 batting average at the top of the Reds lineup, that's incredibly valuable.

Beaufield Resources Inc. is pleased to provide its Urban-Windfall district exploration plans. New drill permits have been received and drilling is scheduled to resume in January 2017.
The Urban property is to remain the principal focus of the corporation's exploration activities for 2017. Centrally located within the Urban-Windfall area, the property consists primarily of 3 blocks of claims originally acquired in 1987 when access and infrastructure were non-existent at the time. The 100% owned, 12,735 hectare property host a number of important gold occurrences and excellent geology, and is easily accessible by road year round.
A review of the property's historical data, including geology, geophysics and drilling has indicated a number of important targets on the large property. The four areas of interest below will be the main focus of the company's 2017 exploration and drilling work.
12 shallow holes have been completed in December 2016 with results expected for the second week of January. A systematic deeper drill program of up to 6,000 metres is planned for the next phase.
A 3,000 metre drill program is scheduled to begin in January 2017. The target zone is adjacent and on strike with Osisko Mining's Black Dog property which hosts significant gold mineralization and is presently being drilled.
The Panache Zone is interpreted as the geological continuation of Osisko's new Fox gold discovery located 1,300 metres east of Beaufield's boundary. A 2,500 metre drill program is planned to test for gold mineralization at greater depth along this feature.
The ET structure is an untested magnetic feature similar to Osisko's Caribou Zone located less than 2 kilometres to the northwest.
Please refer to Beaufield's website for the company's corporate presentation, including maps of Beaufield's Urban property and its neighbors.
