What Are Analyst Ratings?
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@systish.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one systish.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

With the capacity to produce approximately 15 million COVID-19 Home Tests per month, the flagship facility furthers the company's commitment to supporting America's pandemic response.
**Photos and b-roll of the event for use in news coverage may be found here**
FREDERICK, Md., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital diagnostics company Ellume, a producer of at-home COVID-19 test kits, today officially opened its new, 215,000 square foot production facility in Frederick, Maryland. Joined by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, Ellume Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Sean Parsons inaugurated the new facility, which has the capacity to produce approximately 15 million COVID-19 Home Tests per month and will create hundreds of new jobs.
"From the very onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ellume has been committed to supporting the U.S. government's response. With this new facility, we now have the capacity to substantially scale production to meet any future surge in demand for home tests, while also accelerating innovation in developing solutions for the public health needs of today and tomorrow," said Dr. Sean Parsons, Ellume Founder and CEO. "We are grateful for the support of the US Department of Defense, US Department of Health and Human Services, our partnerships with the State of Maryland, the Governor's office and Frederick County, as well as the highly skilled workforce in Maryland's Biotech Corridor who have helped make this facility a reality."
"Maryland truly is open for business, and we are seeing further proof of that here today as Ellume, a respected, global digital diagnostics company opens its very first U.S.-based facility right here in Frederick County," said Governor Larry Hogan. "I want to congratulate the entire team at Ellume, and thank you for investing in the future of our state and helping to build on the already strong mateship between our two great nations."
"The pandemic and the economic disruptions it has caused underscore the need to improve our supply chains and make more in America – especially critical medical equipment," said Senator Chris Van Hollen. "With a federal investment of more than $230 million, Ellume is joining us in our efforts to bring more American manufacturing jobs to our state as they produce the tests we need to stay on top of the ongoing fight against COVID-19. This investment in Western Maryland will strengthen the region and its economy."
"I am delighted to welcome Ellume's flagship facility to Frederick County," said Congressman Jamie Raskin. "Keeping the COVID-19 pandemic at bay requires sustained investment in our public health infrastructure. I am proud that Maryland's Eighth District continues to serve as an economic and public health engine for our nation."
Ellume's COVID-19 Home Test, the first over-the-counter (OTC) rapid antigen test to receive emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is a best-in-class product that Americans count on to keep their families safe. One of the most reliable at-home antigen tests on the market, it is also the only at-home antigen test to use fluorescent detection technology – usually reserved for healthcare professionals and clinical laboratories – and one of the only tests to incorporate sample quality controls to support accurate results. Ellume COVID-19 Home Tests are currently available through a variety of major retailers and in partnership with Federal and local governments.
Test assembly operations were initiated at the Frederick facility in February 2022. The facility will initially bring 200 jobs to the community and up to 1,500 when operating at full capacity.
An innovator in infectious disease digital diagnostics and global health preparedness, Ellume continues to work with the U.S. government to respond to COVID-19 and prepare for and mitigate future pandemics.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued 18 migrants crammed inside a U-Haul trailer with little ventilation early Tuesday morning.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said a U-Haul pickup pulling the trailer stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint on NM Highway 185, which runs parallel to Interstate 25. Agents found 17 migrant adults and one unaccompanied child inside the trailer.
Agents linked the smuggling scheme to a driver who had crossed the checkpoint minutes before the U-Haul and was found to have a 9 mm handgun, an AK-47 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition, and a flare gun.
Agents arrested both drivers on suspicion of conspiracy to transport migrants.
On Sunday, a resident alerted border agents to a possible human smuggling scheme after spotting a tractor-trailer parked along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near the Texas-New Mexico state line in Northeast El Paso.
Agents responded and freed 15 adult migrants and one unaccompanied child inside a poorly ventilated cargo container.
The rescued migrants, agents said, were from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Some of them ended up at the Central Processing Center, and agents expelled the others to Mexico under Title 42.
According to a news release, agents referred the driver to the El Paso Sector Integrated Targeting Team and the Texas Department of Public Safety as part of an ongoing interagency investigation.
CBP said that since Fiscal Year 2022 began in October, Border Patrol agents from the El Paso Sector have disrupted approximately 525 smuggling schemes.
“Ruthless human smugglers continuously endanger human lives as one of their tactics is to smuggle migrants in confined spaces with restricted oxygen,” El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez said in a statement. “I am extremely proud of the actions of our El Paso Sector Border Patrol Agents as they often encounter situations, where if not for their involvement, events as these would turn into tragedies. Our Border Patrol Agents are true heroes as they display compassion and professionalism (every day) in our very complex mission of border security.” | https://www.kget.com/border-report-tour/34-migrants-rescued-from-cargo-trailers-in-separate-smuggling-attempts/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:40Z |
The death of an inmate at a central California prison is being investigated as a homicide, officials said Thursday.
Juan E. Mendoza, 26, was found unresponsive in his cell at Kern Valley State Prison shortly before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, according to a statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
He had visible injuries and died a short time later despite life-saving efforts.
Mendoza shared his cell with another man, Jorge L. Mendoza, who was removed from the cell and placed in segregation while the death is investigated, authorities said.
Juan E. Mendoza went to prison in 2020 after receiving a six-year sentence in San Bernardino County for second-degree attempted murder and personal use of a dangerous weapon, officials said.
Jorge L. Mendoza was admitted from Monterey County in 2018 and was serving a sentence of life with the chance of parole for second-degree murder with the use of a firearm by a second-striker.

Goodbye, Tower of Truth.
Hello, Tower of Power.
After more than four years and $280 million, the Philadelphia Police Department is almost entirely moved into its newly renovated headquarters: the stately former Inquirer building on North Broad Street.
The 340-foot beaux arts building — colloquially known as the Tower of Truth when it housed the city’s ambitious broadsheet and its feisty tabloid sibling, the Daily News — had been showing its age years before the shrinking newspapers decamped in 2012 for a more modest Market Street home.
But the refurbished tower has been stripped of its fading white paint and is now clean ivory brick. The unique globe chandelier in the main lobby has been restored and re-hung. The bells in the clock tower were fixed up to chime on the hour. And the large space inside, once home to rumbling printing presses and hundreds of muckraking reporters and editors and press workers, is now a maze of clinical workspaces for detectives, police brass, and patrol officers. It also house the city morgue.
“I think it’s a major accomplishment for the city,” said Andrew Brown, a project manager for Talson Solutions who helped oversee the building’s transformation. He guided media members Thursday night on a tour of the facility, officially known as the Philadelphia Public Safety Building.
Brown said the renovation was a “full gut job,” with new electrical, plumbing, and lighting systems installed, in addition to refurbishing, or repurposing, 460,000 square feet of space. About 85% of that space — the basement through the seventh floor — will actually be used, he said, and when fully occupied, the building will accommodate about 1,200 employees.
The eighth through the 18th floors, in the narrower portion of the wedding-cake-shaped tower, have been refurbished but remain unused, he said. That includes a 12th-floor office and apartment once used by former Inquirer owner Walter Annenberg.
Many staffers have already moved in over the last several months, including the police commissioner and her deputies; detectives from several units, including homicide and nonfatal shootings; and two police districts that cover portions of Center City.
The Medical Examiner’s Office has also moved into the third floor. And the 911 call center will eventually occupy what was once The Inquirer’s second-floor newsroom. The mezzanines that had previously overlooked that cavernous, two-story space have since been sealed over with blue drywall, and the call center was not part of the tour.
There were some reflections of the original tenant visible while walking through the building, including an Inquirer and Daily News directory in the historic lobby, which Brown said was restored to retain the grand look it would have had when the building debuted in 1925.
Much of the building that was shown to the press during the tour, however, appeared new and disorientingly similar by floor, with long corridors of black-and-white tile flooring leading to a series of workspaces with gray cubicles fit for any modern office.
One new installation stuck out: A large police shield hanging from the ceiling of a new portion of the ground-floor entrance, which is covered in 1,400 police badges and messages of justice.
For the Police Department, the new digs at 400 N. Broad are a far cry from the handcuff-shaped concrete slab known as the Roundhouse, the force’s headquarters at Seventh and Race Streets since the 1960s.
Cops had long joked that that building had been outdated from the moment it opened. The lighting was dim and quarters were cramped. File boxes were stacked throughout the curved hallways and the elevators often broke. Decaying walls invited unexpected guests, such as roaches and ants.
And for some city residents, the building’s drab, brutalist style came to symbolize a department often associated throughout the years with misconduct or violence.
Ed Rendell, the city’s former district attorney and mayor, said in an interview that his first job out of law school in 1968 was working an overnight shift in the Roundhouse as a prosecutor in arraignment court — “the lowest assignment” there was.
His memories of the place didn’t improve much over time, he said: “Whenever I went down to the Roundhouse as the mayor or DA, something bad had happened.”
Former Commissioner Sylvester Johnson, however, said he had generally fond memories of his 20 years in the building, first as a corporal, and later a homicide detective, deputy commissioner, and ultimately top cop.
“People took it as a privilege to be assigned to Police Headquarters,” Johnson said. “I enjoyed every minute of it.”
The city’s search to replace the Roundhouse began in 2014, under then-Mayor Michael Nutter, when City Council approved plans to rehabilitate the former Provident Mutual Life Insurance Co. building at 46th and Market Streets in West Philadelphia. But Mayor Jim Kenney’s administration scrapped those plans three years later, saying the project was proving expensive and wouldn’t be an ideal fit for police.
The city lost $42 million on that move.
In 2017, the Kenney administration said it had agreed instead to move the new headquarters into the old newspaper tower, which officials said had more space to house additional functions such as two police districts and a dispatch center.
The total cost to taxpayers to reoutfit the Inquirer building was just over $280 million.
Some officers say they appreciate a 21st-century workspace, while others have lamented leaving behind a building with its own form of battered charm.
Johnson, the former commissioner, said everyone would adapt in time.
“Everything comes to an end,” he said. | https://www.inquirer.com/news/philly-police-new-headquarters-inquirer-building-roundhouse-20220331.html | 2022-04-01T01:22:40Z |
With the supply chain in disarray, there's much discussion in the auto industry around vertical integration and localizing production.
Against this backdrop, EV pioneer Tesla, Inc. TSLA is transforming into a "renewable energy on-shore infrastructure company," according to a Morgan Stanley analyst.
The Tesla Analyst: Adam Jonas has an Overweight rating on Tesla with a $1,300 price target.
The Tesla Takeaways: The renewable economy relies on insufficient quantities of materials from distant and geographically insecure markets to store the required energy from the grid, Jonas said in a note.
The Biden administration could use the Defense Production Act to encourage domestic production of key materials for EV batteries, the analyst said, citing a Bloomberg report.
"National security resource nationalism is likely with us to stay," he said.
To build the renewable energy generation and transport infrastructure, the U.S. will need batteries everywhere electricity is generated and everywhere there are things to move, Jonas said.
Related Link: Why This Tesla Analyst Thinks This 'One Really Big Item' Could Be Part Of Master Plan Part 3
Tesla, according to the analyst, fits in the bill because it is not only a car and tech company, but also an energy company.
As energy security becomes key for national security, recent geopolitical events may have accelerated the U.S.'s sponsorship for onshoring mission critical battery materials and advanced battery technology, Jonas said.
"Over time, we expect to see grid-level stationary storage receive significantly more attention for its role in enabling renewable generation and greatly reducing dependency of power generation from fossil fuel."
In a supply chain-constrained environment, the analyst said he would prioritize names with pricing power, supply chain visibility and renewable energy exposure. Ferrari N.V. RACE, Tesla, Rivian Automotive, Inc. RIVN and Freyr Battery FREY are among the names that are well positioned on this front, he said.
Among suppliers, the analyst recommends Aptiv PLC APTV, American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. AXL and Magna International Inc. MGA.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla shares lost 1.5% Thursday, closing at $1,077.

Florida FreeFall teen death: Father of teenager says he learned about his son dying from social media video
Tyre Sampson, 14, died after falling off of the Orlando FreeFall on March 24
The father of the 14-year-old who died after falling off of an amusement park in Orlando, Florida on March 24 says that he learned about his son's death through a social media video of the incident.
Tyre Sampson, 14, died after falling off of the Orlando FreeFall at ICON Park on March 24, and video of the incident was posted to social media.
Yarnell Sampson, Tyre's father, told WESH 2 that he found out about his son's death through a video of the incident that was posted to social media.
"It felt like somebody hit me so hard in my stomach. I just lost, I lost, lost wind. And the pain behind it could never be taken away, and sorry's not gonna take it back and no monies, no nothing in the world to replace the young man. And it's just sad, a young man's bright future was taken away from him over a ride, an amusement park," Sampson said.
FLORIDA FREEFALL TEEN DEATH: RIDE SAFETY EXPERT HARNESS 'WAS NOT ON CORRECTLY'
An operating manual for the Orlando FreeFall states that the maximum passenger weight is just over 286 pounds. Sampson was 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighed 330 pounds, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Yarnell Sampson said during an interview with FOX 35 Orlando that his son could tell something wasn't right.
"When the ride took off, that's when he was feeling uncomfortable. He was like, ‘This thing is moving.’ … That's when he started freaking out," Yarnell Sampson told FOX 35 Orlando. "He was explaining to his friends next to him … ‘If I don’t make it down … please tell my mom and dad I love them.' For him to say something like that, he must've felt something."
An incident report filled out by an employee at the Orlando FreeFall states that the harness was still in a locked position when the ride came to a stop.
FLORIDA FREEFALL TEEN DEATH: SEAT HARNESS STILL LOCKED AFTER HORRIFYING ACCIDENT AT ORLANDO PARK
"FreeFall was coming to [sic] down the tower. When the magnets engaged, the patron came out of the seat," an employee wrote in the report. "Harness was still in a down and locked position when the ride stopped."
Brian Avery, a University of Florida lecturer and ride safety expert, told Fox News Digital that he believes the harness was not on Sampson properly.
"In my opinion, it was not on correctly… it was resting on his stomach is what it appears in the videos that I've reviewed, and that it was not touching or close to the seat pan and/or in-between his crotch, which should have been the proper positioning of that to ensure that there was no gap between the base of the harness and/or the seat pan itself," Avery said.

He said that the larger the gap between the base of the harness and the seat pan, the bigger the risk for injury.
"If you have a gap, obviously the larger the gap, the more of an opportunity you have for someone to be ejected in a space that is created between the harness and the seat pan," Avery said. | https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-freefall-teen-death-father-of-teenager-says-he-learned-about-his-son-dying-from-social-media-video | 2022-04-01T01:22:40Z |

Two of our region’s major health-care organizations, Providence and Swedish, have been affiliated for a decade now. But apparently that’s not obvious to all, so they’ve announced a “unified brand” … all the organizations’ eight hospitals and 214 clinics will now be under the brand Providence Swedish. The announcement suggests the only real difference patients will notice will be signage; that’ll roll out in the months ahead, we were told on follow-up. The announcement also includes this note:
As they have since 2012, Providence and Swedish will continue to honor one another’s distinct identities. Swedish will remain a secular organization, and Providence will remain a faith-based organization. That means Swedish locations will continue to provide certain services that may not be available at Providence locations according to the original affiliation agreement. Providence and Swedish will also remain separate employers, and its foundations will continue to operate as separate 501(c)3s. | https://westseattleblog.com/2022/03/health-care-providence-swedish-announce-unified-brand/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:41Z |
Two teens charged with criminal homicide after man killed outside Bell Road apartment
Two teens are each facing a criminal homicide charge after a man was shot to death inside his car at a Bell Road apartment complex during an alleged robbery.
Metro Nashville Police said Denzel Hammond, 23, was found dead behind the wheel of his car in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 300 block of Bell Road Wednesday night. The vehicle was still in gear when officers arrived, police said.
Hammond was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police charged a 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy Thursday.
The teen girl was at the scene when police and medics arrived and identified herself as an acquaintance of the victim. Investigators later discovered that she and the 17-year-old had been handing a pistol and discussing robbing Hammond earlier in the night.
Officers found two guns in the girl's apartment.

People who suffered from even mild cases of COVID-19 face an increased risk of being diagnosed with diabetes within a year of recovering from the illness, a new study reports.
Researchers found that people who had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes within a year after recovering, compared to participants in a control group. The likelihood of developing diabetes grew if the patient suffered from a serious infection that led to hospitalization or a stay in intensive care.
"What's surprising is that it is happening in people with no prior risk factors for diabetes" before becoming infected with COVID-19, said Ziyad Al-Aly, the lead author of the study.
These latest findings add to a growing list of studies showing that people who suffered from COVID-19 are at risk of facing other long-term health problems. Those include heart and kidney ailments and chronic fatigue.
Al-Aly also helped lead the study that showed the prevalence of cardiac issues in people who survived COVID-19 infections.
This newest study, published Monday in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, analyzed data from more than 180,000 patients from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The study's authors compared patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and survived the illness for more than a month with more than 4 million other people who didn't contract COVID in the same period. This data was also compared with another 4.28 million patients who were treated at the VA in 2018 and 2019.
The paper states that around 1% to 2% of people who have been infected with COVID will develop diabetes as a result. That may seem like a small number, but nearly 80 million people in the U.S. have had COVID, Al-Aly told NPR — meaning 800,000 to 1.6 million people developing diabetes who might not have otherwise.
"That translates to a really significant number of people with new onset diabetes in the U.S. and many, many more around the world," Al-Aly said.
Nationwide, approximately 34 million people had diabetes pre-COVID, according to Jorge Moreno, an internal medicine physician at Yale University who didn't work on Al-Aly's study. Doctors expect roughly 1.5 million new people to be newly diagnosed with diabetes each year during normal times, he told NPR.
What to look out for
This study shows that as a nation, more attention needs to be paid to the long-term effects of COVID-19, Al-Aly said. More vigilance can start at the doctor's office.
"We need to start treating COVID as a risk factor for diabetes," Al-Aly said, adding that each person who has come down with the virus needs to be screened.
Moreno told NPR he believes this study will create more awareness among general practitioners and endocrinologists, like himself, to screen patients who have had COVID for diabetes and other complications.
Those who've had COVID should also be closely monitoring their health and changes in their body, Moreno said, and should seek help at the first sign of an issue. Major symptoms for diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination (which is not influenced by how much liquid consumed) and blurry vision. Major weight fluctuations are also a sign.

A Dane County judge has found Assembly Speaker Robin Vos in contempt for continually failing to turn over records.
Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn says that Speaker Vos has deliberately withheld emails and texts from watchdog group American Oversight. That group is looking for records from the ongoing Republican elections probe.
Vos now has 14 days to turn over records, before Bailey-Rihn starts fining him 1000 dollars a day. He will also be on the hook for legal fees for American Oversight. | https://www.wrn.com/2022/03/dane-co-judge-finds-speaker-vos-in-contempt-over-records-requests/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:42Z |
MEDFORD, Ore. The Medford City Council is holding a study session Thursday. They’re looking at discussing amendments to its land development code.
This comes after the passage of House Bill 2001. The bill was passed back in 2019, ending exclusive single-family zoning in the state of Oregon.
That means other housing like duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhouses, and cottage clusters will now be allowed to be built in single-family zoning areas. Medford’s planning director will present the proposed language to the council for the first time.
“To the greatest extent possible without being burdensome to make these kinds of housing fit into existing single-family neighborhoods and new single-family neighborhoods where you could have a single-family detached home next to a duplex, next to a cottage cluster,” said planning director, Matt Brinkley.
He says the language proposal, isn’t finalized just yet. But it will go into effect July 1st. | https://kobi5.com/news/medford-discussing-making-amendments-to-land-development-code-186554/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:40Z |
'It's my turn' ... DE McLendon ready to make mark for FSU defense
It's not just the number that's different for Derrick McLendon.
The fourth-year defensive end looks noticeably quicker and faster this spring than he's ever looked in a Florida State uniform. The switch from No. 55 to No. 9 has apparently helped flip a switch for the Decatur, Ga., native.
It's still spring practice. Games don't start for another five months. But McLendon looks like he could be a vital part of the Florida State defense this fall.
He certainly believes he will be. In fact, he doesn't expect to just start. He expects to be a star.
"I'm extremely fast right now," McLendon said after Thursday's practice. "Honestly, I feel like I'm the best defensive end coming out this year."
***Don't miss out on any of our great Football and Recruiting coverage. Get your 30-day FREE trial***
If he just becomes one of the two best defensive ends on the Florida State roster, that would be a huge stride for McLendon, who has yet to make a significant impact since he arrived in Tallahassee.
He is still listed as a redshirt sophomore, but he was a part of the 2019 signing class. He has played in 25 games in his career and has registered 24 career tackles.
Last year was by far his most productive season for the Seminoles. He had 16 tackles, 4.5 stops for loss and 3.5 sacks.
McLendon showed glimpses as a pass-rusher, but he has never fully found a consistent role on the Florida State defense.
Part of that is because of the position room itself.
In 2020, he was behind two veterans in Janarius Robrinson and Joshua Kaindoh. And then last year, he was behind two talented transfers in Keir Thomas and Jermaine Johnson, who very well could be a top-10 or top-15 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
"Getting my opportunity," McLendon said. "Getting my chance to show what I have. Just waiting my turn. J-Rob and Kaindoh two years ago got drafted. Jermaine and Keir are going to get drafted this season. Just understanding that it is my time."
The Georgia product said he remained as patient as possible the last two years and tried to use his time with those NFL-caliber defensive ends to soak up as much as he could.
"At the time, I wasn't an NFL talent," McLendon said. "So, just getting the knowledge that both sets of guys gave to me and displaying it right now is what I'm trying to do this spring. And what I am doing."
As one might be able to tell, McLendon doesn't lack for confidence. And judging from his performance this spring, it's not false confidence.
He has been difficult for Florida State's offensive tackles to block consistently. He is currently listed at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, and he has had a number of flash plays for the Florida State defense, where he has used that size and added quickness to get into the backfield in a hurry.
McLendon said he worked out in the offseason back home in Georgia whenever he could. But he added that strength and conditioning coach Josh Storms has been an enormous factor in the way he's playing and moving right now.
"Coach Storms has truly been a miracle worker," McLendon said with a smile. "You guys see my body. You guys see my body of work that I'm displaying this spring. Coach Storms has been that guy."
McLendon hopes to be that guy this fall. Albany transfer Jared Verse has been one of the stars of the defense so far this spring, but No. 9 hasn't been too far behind in production and flash plays.
And McLendon said he likes Verse because he's a "high-energy guy" just like him.
"We feed off each other's energy," McLendon said.
While it would be very difficult for that duo to combine to have the production that Thomas and Johnson did last fall, McLendon is certainly going to do his best to make sure the Florida State defensive end position is still one of the best in the conference.
Heck, if he has it his way, the best in the country.
That is, after all, what he's been waiting for these past three years.
"Every day I'm just coming out to be better, focusing on just coming and being a pro," McLendon said. "It's my turn."

MAG Silver Reports 2021 Annual Results
VANCOUVER, March 31, 2022 - MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG) ("MAG" or the "Company") announces the Company's audited consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021. For details of the audited consolidated financial statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis, Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, please see the Company's filings on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
All amounts herein are reported in $000s of United States dollars ("US$") unless otherwise specified.
HIGHLIGHTS - DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND SUBSEQUENT TO YEAR END
OPERATIONAL
- Significant progress was achieved during the year ended December 31, 2021 on the construction of the 4,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") Juanicipio processing plant as the Juanicipio project team delivered the project for plant commissioning late in the fourth quarter of 2021.
- The plant commissioning timeline was extended, however, by approximately six months until the regulatory approval to tie into the national power grid is obtained. The plant commissioning timeline is now expected to commence in Q2 2022.
- As reported by the operator Fresnillo, the Juanicipio Project is expected to come in on budget with the processing plant expected to be ramped up to 85% to 90% of plant capacity by the end of 2022.
- A regularly updated photo gallery of construction progress at Juanicipio is available at https://magsilver.com/projects/photo-gallery/#photo-gallery.
- Campaign processing of mineralized material from development headings continues through the nearby Fresnillo plant and starting in Q4 2021 mineralized material also began to be campaign processed at Fresnillo's Saucito plant. Saucito's flowsheet better resembles that of the Juanicipio plant and will provide further valuable metallurgical benefits as production commences at Juanicipio.
- The campaign processing rate originally targeted at 16,000 tonnes per month increased significantly to an average of 37,983 tonnes per month in Q4 2021 and to an average of 44,963 tonnes per month for the first two months of 2022.
- Processing at the Fresnillo plants is expected to continue until the Juanicipio plant is commissioned, with Fresnillo making available any unused plant capacity at its Minera Fresnillo and Minera Saucito operations, and if possible matching commissioning and ramp up tonnages that were previously expected at Juanicipio.
- For the three months ended December 31, 2021, on a 100% basis:
- 113,950 tonnes of mineralized material were campaign processed through the Fresnillo and Saucito plants, with 1,519,027 payable silver ounces, 3,641 payable gold ounces, 563 tonnes of lead and 800 tonnes of zinc produced and sold;
- Average silver head grade was 542 grams per tonne ("g/t"); and
- Pre-commercial production sales totaled $39,368 for the quarter (net of treatment and processing costs), less $7,593 in mining and transportation costs, netting $31,775 in gross profit by Minera Juanicipio in the quarter.
- For the year ended December 31, 2021, on a 100% basis:
- 251,907 tonnes of mineralized material were campaign processed through Fresnillo's plants, with 2,974,524 payable silver ounces, 5,975 payable gold ounces, 1,065 tonnes of lead and 1,519 tonnes of zinc produced and sold;
- Average silver head grade was 470 g/t; and
- Pre-commercial production sales of $75,393 (net of treatment and processing costs) less $15,329 in mining and transportation costs, netting $60,064 gross profit in Minera Juanicipio for the year.
- Since commencing campaign processing of Juanicipio mineralized material from development headings in August of 2020 through February 2022, a total of 413,691 tonnes of mineralized development material have been processed through the nearby Fresnillo plant and starting in December 2021 in the Saucito plant:
- contributing cash-flow to offset some of the initial project capital; and
- de-risking Juanicipio's metallurgical performance, which is expected to significantly speed up project ramp-up.
- A further 89,925 tonnes of mineralized development material with a silver head grade of 529 g/t were processed in January and February 2022 through the Fresnillo and Saucito plants.
EXPLORATION
- Results of the Juanicipio 2020 exploration program were reported in the third quarter (see Press Release dated August 5, 2021), and the program successfully:
- Confirms, and allows modeling with greater detail and confidence of the high-grade silver resource within the upper parts of the Valdeca?as Bonanza Zone (as defined in the 2017 PEA) where the first several years of mining is expected to occur;
- Confirms, expands, and allows improved modeling of the continuous wide mineralization of the Valdeca?as Deep Zone (as defined in the 2017 PEA); and
- Confirms, expands, and allows improved modeling of the ever-growing Anticipada Vein.
- The Juanicipio 2021 exploration program was completed in Q4 2021 with $6,296 spent on a 100% basis and was focused on continued step-out and infill drilling of the Valdeca?as Vein System (including independent targeting of the Venadas Vein family and the Anticipada Vein).
- The Juanicipio 2022 exploration program is currently in process, with five drill rigs presently on surface running concurrently with continued underground definition and geotechnical drilling, and one rig testing the new Cesantoni target in the northwest part of the Juanicipio concession.
- Deer Trail Project in Utah:
- Assays were released in Q3 2021 for the Phase I drill program (see Press Release dated September 7, 2021), which successfully fulfilled all three of its planned objectives by:
- Confirming the presence of a thick section of more favorable carbonate host rocks (the predicted "Redwall Limestone" or "Redwall") below the Deer Trail mine;
- Confirming and projecting two suspected mineralization feeder structures to depth; and
- Intercepting high-grade mineralization related to those structures in host rocks below what was historically known.
- A follow up 5 hole/5,000 metre Phase II drill program commenced in Q3 2021 and is in process with all assays pending.
- Assays were released in Q3 2021 for the Phase I drill program (see Press Release dated September 7, 2021), which successfully fulfilled all three of its planned objectives by:
- Subsequent to the year end, the Company entered into a Definitive Arrangement Agreement with Gatling Exploration Inc. (TSXV:GTR, OTCOB:GATGF) ("Gatling") pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gatling in an all-share transaction. The Company and Gatling have also entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide Gatling with a C$3 million secured convertible bridge loan to finance Gatling's accounts payable and operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- As at December 31, 2021, MAG held cash of $56,748 while Minera Juanicipio had cash on hand of $18,972 on a 100% basis.
- According to the operator Fresnillo, the Juanicipio Project construction is expected to be delivered on budget at $440,000.
- With the current ramp up of underground mine production and given hiring restrictions on contractors arising from new 2021 labour reform legislation, the timing of various sustaining capital expenditures has been brought forward:
- These sustaining capital costs are included in current Juanicipio development costs but are not considered by the operator as part of the $440,000 initial project capital; and
- The costs incurred are expected to reduce future sustaining capital costs and totaled approximately $41,388 on a 100% basis in the second half of 2021 in preparation for the legislation to come into effect.
- The expected cash flow from the ongoing campaign processing until the Juanicipio plant is commissioned, along with the cash held by Minera Juanicipio at December 31, 2021 of $18,972, are projected to substantially fund the remaining capital expenditures in the $440,000 initial capex (a cash call has not been needed since mid-December 2021 which was $21,000 on a 100% basis).
- Should there be additional funding requirements in excess of the cashflow generated, related to further commissioning delays or to additional sustaining capital that is being brought forward prior to attaining commercial production, there may still be further cash calls required from Fresnillo and MAG.
- In Q4 2021, MAG closed a bought deal share offering and issued 2,691,000 common shares, including 15,700 common shares issued to an officer and two directors of MAG and 351,000 common shares issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, at $17.15 per share for gross proceeds of $46,151. The Company paid commission of $2,301 to the underwriters and legal and filing costs totaled an additional $608 resulting in net proceeds of $43,242.
COVID-19
- Fresnillo, the Juanicipio operator implemented a range of safety measures and monitoring procedures, consistent with World Health Organization and Mexican Government COVID-19 directives.
- COVID-19 had an impact on the Juanicipio plant commissioning timeline however during the course of the year:
- In Q1 2021, Fresnillo, as operator, reported that commissioning was pushed out a few months to Q4 2021 as some infrastructure contracts were delayed related to COVID-19; and,
- In Q4 2021, approval to complete the tie-in to the national power grid was extended as noted above related to knock-on effects of the pandemic.
CORPORATE
- MAG continued to refresh its board during the year with three new appointments:
- Ms. Susan Mathieu was appointed to the board on January 13, 2021 increasing the size of the board to eight members;
- Mr. Tim Baker was appointed to the board on March 31, 2021 replacing Mr. Richard Clark who resigned from the board to focus on other professional responsibilities; and,
- Mr. Dale Peniuk was appointed to the board on August 3, 2021 replacing Mr. Derek White who did not stand for re-election at the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting on June 21, 2021.
- On October 16, 2021 MAG announced that Mr. W.J. (Jim) Mallory joined the Company as its Chief Sustainability Officer ("CSO") highlighting the Company's commitment to environmental, social, governance ("ESG") betterment.

Mr. Taddei will assist in the orderly transition of his duties following Mr. Di Trapani's appointment.
JUANICIPIO PROJECT UPDATE
Underground Mine Production
As of August 2020, mineralized development material from the Juanicipio Project is being campaign processed, refined and sold on commercial terms at a targeted rate through Q3 2021 of 16,000 tonnes per month at the nearby Fresnillo plant 12 kilometres away. The processing rate increased to an average of 37,983 tonnes per month in Q4 2021 and subsequent to the year end to an average of 44,963 tonnes per month for the first two months of 2022. In December 2021, for the first time, 8,725 tonnes were processed at Fresnillo's Saucito beneficiation plant (also 100% owned by Fresnillo). The Saucito plant flowsheet better resembles that of the Juanicipio plant and will provide further valuable metallurgical information as processing commences at Juanicipio. This preproduction toll processing of Juanicipio mineralized development material plus some initial stope production is expected to continue until the Juanicipio plant is commissioned
In the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, 113,950 and 251,907 tonnes of mineralized development material respectively, were processed through the Fresnillo plants, realizing commercial and operational de-risking opportunities for the Juanicipio Project. The resulting payable metals sold and processing details on a 100% basis are summarized in Table 1 (three months ended December 31, 2021) and in Table 2 (year ended December 31, 2021) below.
Table 1: Q4 2021 Development Material Processed at Fresnillo's Processing Plants (100% basis)
(1) Ounces ("oz") for silver and gold and, pounds ("lb") for lead and zinc.
Table 2: Year 2021 Development Material Processed at Fresnillo's Processing Plants (100% basis)
(1) Ounces ("oz") for silver and gold and, pounds ("lb") for lead and zinc.
(2) Processing of Juanicipio mineralized development material at the Fresnillo plant commenced in August of 2020, with no prior processing.
(3) Provisional sales for 2020 were finalized in Q1 2021 resulting in negative adjustment to net sales revenue of $1,146.
The average silver head grade for the mineralized development material and initial stope material processed in the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 was 542 g/t and 470 g/t (three months and year ended December 31, 2020 was 300 g/t and 328 g/t) respectively. This increased grade in the last quarter of 2021 reflects less diluted development material and more stoped vein material being processed.
Processing Plant Construction & Outlook
The Juanicipio project team delivered the Juanicipio plant for commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2021. However, according to the operator Fresnillo, the state-owned electrical company (Comision Federal de Electricidad "CFE"), notified Fresnillo late in December 2021 that the regulatory approval to complete the tie-in to the national power grid could not yet be granted, and the projected commissioning timeline has therefore been extended by approximately six months, with commissioning of the Juanicipio processing plant now expected to commence in Q2-2022 with ramp up to 85 to 90% of the nameplate 4,000 tpd capacity by the end of 2022, according to Fresnillo.
In order to minimize any potential adverse economic effect of the revised commissioning timeline, Fresnillo has indicated it will make available any unused plant capacity at its Minera Fresnillo and Minera Saucito operations to process mineralized material produced at Juanicipio during this period, and if possible match commissioning and ramp up tonnages that were previously expected. The effect on cashflow generation from Juanicipio therefore will also be mitigated while power connection approvals are pending.
With the plant ready to commence commissioning once connected to the power grid, final construction costs are expected to wind down until final commissioning and testing commence. Meanwhile, as noted above, the amount of mineralized development material being processed at the two Fresnillo plats since Q4 2021 has been significantly higher than the original targeted rate of 16,000 tonnes per month. The cash flow from this processing, along with the cash held by Minera Juanicipio at December 31, 2021 of $18,972 and the expected cash flows from continued processing until the Juanicipio plant is commissioned are projected to substantially fund the remaining capital expenditures in the $440,000 initial project capital (a cash call has not been needed since mid-December 2021 which was $21,000 on a 100% basis).
With the current ramp up of underground mine production and given hiring restrictions on contractors arising from new 2021 labour reform legislation, the timing of various sustaining capital expenditures has been brought forward. Labour reform on subcontracting and outsourcing in Mexico was published on April 23, 2021 and came into effect on September 1, 2021. With various restrictions on hiring contractors, Fresnillo, as operator, has indicated a need to internalize a significant portion of its contractor workforce and perform much of the development work directly rather than outsourcing it to contractors. This requires investment in equipment to be utilized in underground operations, either not previously in the project scope or not envisaged to be required until later in the mine life. As well, certain underground development expenditures related to processing development material and some small items brought forward from project investments planned in the future are considered sustaining capital by Fresnillo. The costs incurred are expected to reduce future sustaining capital costs and totaled approximately $41,388 on a 100% basis in the second half of 2021 in preparation for the legislation to come into effect. These costs are included in the current Juanicipio development costs but are not considered by the operator as part of the $440,000 initial project capital. Should there be additional funding requirements in excess of the cashflow generated related to further commissioning delays or to additional sustaining capital that is being brought forward, there may still be further cash calls required from Fresnillo and MAG.
Juanicipio Exploration Update
The planned expenditures for the 2022 Exploration Program total $7,000 with the programs designed to expand and convert the Inferred Mineral Resources included in the Deep Zone into Indicated Mineral Resources, and to explore other parts of the Juanicipio concession. All aspects of the exploration work continue to be done under strict COVID-19 protocols. Subsequent to the year-end in mid-January, 2022, drilling began on the first hole on the "Cesantoni Kaolinite Pits"(Cesantoni) target (assay pending). Cesantoni lies in the northwestern corner of the Juanicipio concession, roughly 6 km west of the Valdeca?as Vein and related underground and surface infrastructure.
The 2021 Juanicipio exploration program was completed in late 2021, with an actual spend of $6,296 on a 100% basis and was focused on continued step-out and infill drilling of the Valdeca?as Vein System (including independent targeting of the Venadas Vein family and the Anticipada Vein). In total, 23 targets (holes) were successfully tested with 21 being deep infill holes and two exploration holes on other parts of the Juanicipio concession, resulting in 29,421 metres drilled. The program results will be released in Q2 2022 pending receipt of all assays.
Assays for the Juanicipio 2020 drill program were released in the Q3 2021 (see Press Release dated August 5, 2021). The 2020 drill program successfully:
- Confirmed, and allowed modeling with greater detail and confidence of the high-grade silver resource within the upper parts of the Valdeca?as Bonanza Zone where the first several years of mining will occur;
- Confirmed, expanded, and allowed improved modeling of the continuous wide mineralization of the Valdeca?as Deep Zone; and,
- Confirmed, expanded, and allowed improved modeling of the ever-growing Anticipada Vein.
DEER TRAIL PROJECT UPDATE
Phase I drilling commenced in November 2020 and was completed in Q2 2021 with assays and interpretations released in the third quarter of 2021 (see Press Release September 7, 2021). Phase I saw the completion of three holes and 3,927 metres drilled from surface and successfully fulfilled all three of its planned objectives by:
- Confirming the presence of a thick section of more favorable carbonate host rocks (the predicted "Redwall Limestone" or "Redwall") below the Deer Trail mine;
- Confirming and projecting two suspected mineralization feeder structures to depth; and
- Intercepting high-grade mineralization related to those structures in host rocks below what was historically known.
Phase II drilling commenced at the Deer Trail Project on August 20, 2021 and is in process, planned for 5,000 metres of drilling over 5 holes. Deviation/directional drilling is being used in Phase II to make the drilling more efficient and accurate. In part to facilitate the directional drilling, drilling contractors were changed in Q1 2022, with the new contractor on site and preparing to resume drilling.
GATLING ACQUISITION
Subsequent to the year end, the Company entered into a Definitive Arrangement Agreement with Gatling pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gatling in an all-share transaction. The Company and Gatling have also entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide Gatling with a C$3 million secured convertible bridge loan to finance Gatling's accounts payable and operating expenses.
Gatling is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on advancing the Larder Gold Project, located in the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt in Northern Ontario, Canada. The 3,370 ha Larder Project hosts three high-grade gold deposits along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break, 35 km east of Kirkland Lake and 7 kilometers west of the Kerr Addison Mine. The project is 100% owned by Gatling and is comprised of patented and unpatented claims, leases and mining licenses of occupation within the McVittie and McGarry Townships. All parts of the Larder property are readily accessible and MAG expects to engage the existing exploration team going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@threewitches.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one threewitches.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

TORRANCE, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (OTCQX: EMMA), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company and leader in the treatment of sickle cell disease, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 and an update on recent activities.
Recent Highlights
- March 2022: Announced that the Florida Medicaid Pharmaceutical & Therapeutics Committee has added Endari® to the Florida Medicaid Preferred Drug List, effective April 1, 2022, eliminating the need for prior authorization for Medicaid patients.
- March 2022: Received full marketing authorization for Endari from the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) Ministry of Health after a five-month review of the company's marketing authorization application.
- December 2021: Presented positive transfusion data from a post-hoc analysis of the phase 3 clinical study of Endari, the company's prescription L-glutamine oral powder, in patients with sickle cell disease, at the 63rd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Data confirmed that Endari meaningfully reduces both pain crises and hospitalizations.
- November 2021: Announced collaboration with UpScript to offer telehealth solutions to sickle cell disease patients, expanding access to Endari. The partnership allows patients to see a doctor remotely and receive same-day physician authorization and prescriptions for Endari, which will be delivered directly to their home within just a few days.
- November 2021: Entered into an agreement with Asembia to provide expanded patient and provider support services to simplify access to Endari. Asembia provides a single point of contact for benefits investigation and financial and co-pay assistance, as well as patient and provider education.
- October 2021: Signed an agreement with Kainos Medicine, Inc., granting Emmaus an exclusive license to patent rights, know-how and other intellectual property relating to Kainos' novel IRAK4 inhibitor (KM10544) for the treatment of cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma and solid tumors.
"Recently, we have made substantial progress in expanding access to Endari for sickle cell disease patients in need," stated Yutaka Niihara, M.D., M.P.H., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Emmaus. "Although our financial results for 2021 were below our expectations, we anticipate that the full roll-out of our new telehealth solution in the coming weeks will improve patient access and efficiency in the delivery of Endari to sickle cell patients throughout the United States. Internationally, we are pleased to have recently received marketing approval of Endari in the U.A.E. and our first major order from our exclusive distributor there. We are actively pursuing additional marketing approvals of Endari to treat the approximately 225,000 sickle cell disease patients throughout the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region and we expect this expanded distribution, along with our telehealth solution, to help generate increased sales of Endari during 2022."
Dr. Niihara continued, "In addition to our focus on increasing patient access to Endari, we have expanded our clinical pipeline. In particular, we have seen promising results from our ongoing preclinical studies of the IRAK4 inhibitor licensed from Kainos Medicine, Inc. in October 2021, which may prove to be a novel, potential treatment option for hard-to-treat lymphomas such as Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia with MYD88 mutation. We also eagerly anticipate results from an additional proof-of-concept study of Endari as a treatment for diverticulosis, expected in mid-2022. If positive, we should be able to move directly into a registration trial. The current year is shaping up to be an exciting one for Emmaus and we look forward to providing updates throughout the year."
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $20.6 million, compared to $23.2 million for 2020. Although sales volume as measured by number of boxes of Endari sold held steady compared to 2020, net revenues were adversely affected by somewhat higher and more frequent discounts afforded distributors on bulk pre-orders in 2021 compared to 2020.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the year were $23.4 million, compared with $21.0 million for 2020. Of the increased expenses, $1.7 million was attributable to increased research and development expenses primarily related to license fees paid to Kainos Medicine, Inc. relating to Kainos' novel IRAK4 inhibitor in research and development expenses associated with the company's pilot/phase 1 diverticulosis sub-study in which enrollment was completed in December 2021. The company also incurred a $1.0 million increase in selling expenses resulting from more frequent travel associated with the lifting of COVID-19 related travel restrictions in the U.S. and foreign countries.
Operating Income (Loss). Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $6.1 million, compared with operating loss of $32,000 in 2020.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense increased by $10.8 million, or 1,074%, to $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to other income of $1.0 million in 2020, which included a $7.7 million gain from sale of marketable securities. The company did not realize a similar gain in 2021. The increase in other expense in 2021 included a $3.5 million increase in foreign exchange loss and a $2.0 million increase in change in fair value of conversion feature derivatives, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in interest expense.
Net Income (Loss). For the year, the company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $15.9 million, or $0.32 per share, based on approximately 49.3 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares. This compares to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share, based on approximately 49.0 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares, for 2020. The increased net loss was primarily attributable to the operating loss for the year and increase in other expense discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. At December 31, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, compared with $2.5 million at December 31, 2020.

JUAREZ, Mexico (Border Report) – Myrna and Julio Flores fled El Salvador after gang members levied a “tax” on their home-based business and threatened harm if they didn’t pay up.
“We had a baby on the way. That motivated us to close our business, quit our jobs and come to the United States,” Myrna said, holding her now 8-month-old daughter.
The couple crossed the Rio Grande at Reynosa, Mexico, but didn’t have a chance to plead their case for asylum. The U.S. Border Patrol fingerprinted them at a processing center near McAllen, Texas, put them on an airplane to El Paso and expelled them to Mexico under the Title 42 public health rule last month.
Immigration advocates say Title 42 exposes migrants to violent crime in Mexican border cities like Juarez. The Flores couple can attest to that.
On Feb. 12, armed gunmen allegedly belonging to a cell of the Aztecas gang arrived at a church in South Central Juarez where a funeral was being held for a rival. The gunmen murdered six funeral-goers including a 12-year-old boy and wounded several other people. The Floreses were staying at a small migrant shelter in the back of that church and escaped the fusillade.
“When we went out, we had to step over the dead because there were several dead and wounded. We found refuge in the house across (the street),” Myrna said. “The church had to close to because of threats.”
Seeing days go by at a Juarez shelter, the couple is looking forward to the termination of Title 42, which news reports out of Washington, D.C., say will happen on May 23.
“We were fleeing violence and we found more violence,” Julio said. “I hope they let us apply for asylum (in the United States). Most of us are fleeing because there are too many problems in our countries. The violence in El Salvador has exploded. […] There’s a 6 p.m. curfew in most towns (because of gang violence). People cannot come out of their homes.”
Enrique Valenzuela, head of the Chihuahua Population Council (COESPO), says between 10,000 and 12,500 migrants are in Juarez waiting for the end of Title 42.
“The shelters are at 80 percent capacity. That’s between 2,000 and 3,000 people, but for every migrant that comes to us for assistance, there are four to five that do not,” said Valenzuela, whose office oversees Juarez’s Migrant Assistance Center.
The council in 2019 helped U.S. Customs and Border Protection bring order to a then-chaotic border in which flash mobs frequently materialized across from U.S. ports of entry and hustlers sold places in line.
Back then, COESPO helped manage access to international bridges and provided guidance to migrants as to what documents CBP expected of them.
This time, though, it’s still not known what shape that cooperation will take.
“At this point, we don’t know how much of an influx we will have or how the United States chooses to handle that flow,” Valenzuela said. “It’s important for people to know they have to wait for official information, for them not to be tricked that it will be an easy way into the United States now that Title 42 is going to be lifted. No, that is not the case.”
But Valenzuela said Chihuahua Gov. Maru Campos has instructed his office and other state agencies to continue helping migrants regardless of where they come from. That includes Mexican families displaced by a bloody drug war in several regions, Central and South Americans already in the city or on the way, and those whom the United States continues to expel daily.
“It’s our duty to provide humanitarian attention to people arriving at this border. We work with allies that include all three levels of government (in Mexico), the United Nations, local and international NGOs,” he said. “Our primary duty is to provide them shelter – a place to stay – and also medical and mental health screenings.”
Meantime, Myrna and Julio Flores hope to finally soon have a chance to state their case and flee the violence in El Salvador and Mexico. “Our hope is that at least they let us apply for asylum in the United States. Most of us are on the run, running from problems because our countries are too conflictive,” Julio said. | https://www.kget.com/border-report-tour/at-least-10000-in-juarez-waiting-for-title-42-rollback-chance-at-u-s-asylum/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:46Z |

A man was shot in Boyle Heights Thursday afternoon, causing a crash, officials said.
The man, whose age and name were not released, was reportedly shot shortly after 4:30 p.m. in the 100 block of South Savannah Street, near the intersection with East Second Street, according to Officer Cruz of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Responding officers requested ambulance for the victim, Cruz said.
An ambulance responded to the scene, as did a fire truck and engine, said Nicholas Prange of the Los Angeles Fire Department, who added that the collision was a result of the shooting.
The man’s condition was not available, nor was any information about the shooter. | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/boyle-heights-shooting-leads-to-car-crash-officials/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:46Z |
One industry that experienced a wide range of disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic was the restaurant industry. On Thursday, Bank of America analyst Sara Senatore took a deep dive into which restaurant stocks have been winners and which have been losers since the pandemic began.
Pandemic Winners: As a category, quick-service and restaurants with exclusively off-premise consumption benefitted the most from the pandemic, Senatore said.
Since the second quarter of 2020, store volumes at Domino's Pizza, Inc. DPZ; Yum! Brands, Inc. YUM subsidiaries KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell; Wendys Co WEN and McDonald's Corp MCD have all been well above 2019 levels.
"The Yum! Brands KFC and Pizza Hut appear to have been the biggest beneficiaries given their ability to offer home meal replacements; we expect moderation as consumption trends revert to trend," Senatore said.

Pent-Up Demand: Meanwhile, full-service restaurant comps took the biggest hit during the pandemic. However, Senatore said she has witnessed pent-up demand for full-service restaurants and coffee shops since mid-2021. In the second half of 2021, full-service restaurant volumes were actually 6% above 2019 levels, she said.
Looking ahead, she said he is most bullish on full-service concept restaurants such as First Watch Restaurant Group Inc FWRG and those with higher-income customers, such as Starbucks Corporation SBUX.
Senatore said Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL is still lagging its 2019 volumes due to its unique headwinds related to the relatively slow recovery of the travel industry.
Benzinga's Take: Most fast-food stocks are up significantly from where they were at the beginning of 2020, but Cracker Barrel still provides investors an opportunity to buy the dip. Assuming the company's business eventually fully recovers, the stock is still trading 23% below its share price at the end of 2019.

Georgia reaches $4.8M settlement with widow of Julian Lewis over 2020 killing by state trooper
Trooper Jacob Gordon Thompson was fired days after the shooting but a grand jury declined to indict him on murder and aggravated assault charges
The family of a man who was shot and killed by a Georgia state trooper amid nationwide protests and riots over police brutality and racial injustice has reached a $4.8 million settlement with the state, attorneys for his widow said Thursday.
The agreement is the largest pre-litigation settlement in Georgia history dating back to 1990, attorneys for Betty Lewis, the widow of Julian Lewis, said.
"There's not a dollar figure you can put on a loved one," Attorney Andrew Lampros told Fox News. "She was willing to accept the case on these terms. Does that reflect the magnitude of her loss? No. But there's something to be said for resolution and avoiding lengthy, contentious litigation."
POLICE OUTRAGED AS GANG MEMBER WHO SEVERELY INJURED NYC OFFICER IS RELEASED ON BAIL AGAIN
Authorities said Trooper Jacob Gordon Thompson shot and killed Julian Lewis on Aug. 7, 2020 during an attempted traffic stop over an alleged broken taillight in rural Screven County. Lawyers for Betty Lewis said her husband was attempting to pull over in a more familiar area where he knew witnesses would be present and activated both of his turn signal lights at the time.
Before the shooting, Thompson crashed his patrol cruiser into Lewis' Nissan Sentra using a PIT maneuver, causing the vehicle to stop in a ditch, authorities said. Several seconds later, he fired a single shot at Lewis, who died at the scene.
Thompson was not wearing a body camera at the time and no police dashcam footage has been released.
The trooper was subsequently fired from the Georgia State Patrol and charged with murder after the state Bureau of Investigation determined the shooting was not justified. In June 2021, a grand jury declined to indict him for murder and aggravated assault.
In a news release, the Hall & Lampros law firm said the use of force by the state Department of Public Safety against Black people accounted for nearly 60% of such incidents, according to the department's most recent report in 2018. They noted that Joan Crumpler, director of the agency's Legal Services Division, acknowledged the department did not engage in the analysis or create reports for 2019 or 2020.
"At some point, someone who's in charge of training, retention, policy and procedure needs to put a stop to it so governmental entities can stop settling cases like this," Lampros said. "The loss of life is by far the most valuable aspect and the most important. They need to stop killing people for things like an alleged broken taillight."
The deadly shooting occurred amid massive protests across the United States following the death of George Floyd.
Last week, a Colorado jury awarded $14 million to 12 protesters who were injured by police officers during chaotic demonstrations in Denver. The jury found the officers violated the constitutional rights of the demonstrators.

Murphey family releases statement as RaDonda Vaught verdict bursts into Nashville DA race
A week after a former Nashville nurse was convicted in the death of a patient, the uproar over the fallout has spilled into the upcoming district attorney race.
The patient's family called comments by some candidate candidates "humiliating" and "degrading," and says the ongoing national debate over the case has "retraumatized" her family, according to a statement released by District Attorney Glenn Funk's office.
Charlene Murphey, 75, died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Dec. 27, 2017, after being injected with the wrong drug. Murphey was supposed to receive a dose of Versed, a sedative, but was instead injected with vecuronium, which left her unable to breathe, prosecutors have said.
The verdict:Ex-nurse RaDonda Vaught found guilty on two charges in death of patient
RaDonda Vaught 38, was found guilty Friday of two charges, criminally negligent homicide and abuse of an impaired adult, for her failure to catch the mistake at several points before Murphey was injected. Vaught was also slammed for leaving Murphey with scan technicians and not personally monitoring her vitals after giving the medication.
Vaught took responsibility for her actions immediately after and in each interview about the circumstances. Prosecutors agreed there was no evidence she intended to kill Murphey.

Vaught:RaDonda Vaught: The former Nashville nurse faces years in prison after conviction
The case has ignited debate among the medical community.
Some worry the decision to try the case in criminal court, instead of by professional regulatory boards, could make people fearful of reporting mistakes and down the road lead to issues with patient safety if broken systems aren't caught.
Funk, the incumbent Democratic DA who is seeking reelection, insists that interpretation is baseless.
"When the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation brought this case to me, I found out this was not about one mistake," Funk wrote in a statement released Thursday afternoon.
In the hours after the verdict, candidate Sara Beth Myers issued a statement calling Vaught's actions "civil medical malpractice" that should not have been handled in criminal court.
"The DA's decision to charge this nurse is just one more example of how his misjudgments continue to make our community more divided and less safe. It's time for change," she wrote Friday. The statement was included in a fundraising pitch on social media and on her website.
Funk fired back on Thursday.
"My opponents have taken the side of the person convicted by a jury in this case. As your District Attorney, I take the side of the victim Charlene Murphey and her family," he wrote.
In the first formal statement since the trial, Murphey's daughter-in-law Chandra Murphey echoed his sentiments.
"We thought we had closure. We may never get over the reaction to this verdict," she wrote. "Our mother, Charlene Murphey, was a caring and loving person. Those using her death for personal gain should be ashamed."
The family's statement did not name Myers or fellow Democratic candidate P. Danielle Nellis directly.
Myers, through a spokesperson, on Thursday stood by her initial statement.
Nellis released a statement on the verdict Wednesday and deferred most questions to it when reached by phone Thursday.
She told The Tennessean her opponents were both making the same misstep.
"The statement to categorically bar prosecution in any category of cases is the same as the incumbent making statements blocking bathroom bills and mask mandates," Nellis told The Tennessean. "Just because it is the right statement, it still really diminishes the public trust in the office."
In her statement Wednesday she offered her condolences to the Murphey family and a reminder that public trust in juries was vital.
She also slammed Funk for choosing to take Vaught's case to a jury while accepting plea deals in other high profile cases.
“The incumbent has shown us repeatedly that his choice to charge or not charge an individual in high-profile cases cannot be trusted," she wrote. "The incumbent’s decision-making continues to erode the public trust in a system fraught with its own issues."
Vaught's attorney Peter Strianse told The Tennessean on Friday that his client was uninterested in any plea discussions that arose throughout the case.
Nellis agreed with her opponent Myers that the case should have been handled in civil court.
In his statement released Thursday, Funk hinted he believed civil or regulatory avenues were insufficient.
Vaught was investigated by the nursing licensing board in the months after Murphey's death and was not at the time recommended to lose her license or be suspended.
But nearly a year after the event, an anonymous tip, a surprise inspection and state and federal investigations led to threatened sanctions for VUMC and a a criminal indictment for Vaught. After going before the nursing board last year, Vaught was stripped of her license.
"Now, with this conviction she can never get her license back. That is the outcome Charlene Murphey's family wanted. They wanted justice for Charlene Murphey and that is what our office achieved for them," Funk wrote.
The candidates are seeking the Democratic nomination in the May 3 primary. Early voting runs April 13-28. There are no Republican candidates, all but assuring the winner of the primary will win in the Aug. 4 general election.

SPRINGFIELD – The state Senate on Thursday advanced a measure to create a task force to study electric grid reliability in light of the 2021 passage of the energy regulatory overhaul bill known as the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act.
A House committee, meanwhile, began preliminary conversations about lifting the ban on new nuclear developments in Illinois.
The unpaid, 33-member task force outlined in Senate Bill 1104 would be known as the Illinois Regional Generation Reliability Task Force. It passed 32-15 in a bipartisan vote, although several Democrats voted against the measure. It still needs approval in the House.
The task force would study the effect of state laws, including CEJA, on energy prices as well as grid reliability. It would also study ways to deploy new technologies and ways to “improve” the power supply mix, among other tasks.
It wouldn’t have authority to create any new laws or regulations, but it would report to the General Assembly by Feb. 1, 2023, and each year thereafter.
Labor unions were among some of the prominent backers of the bill, according to witness slips filed on the General Assembly website, while the environmental group Illinois Sierra Club opposed the measure.
Task force makeup
The task force’s makeup was part of the reason the Sierra Club opposed it, according to chapter director Jack Darin, who said the task force wouldn’t be representative of the state.
The task force would be made up mostly of industry groups and lawmakers.
That includes three senators and representatives appointed by each of the chambers’ majority leaders and two senators and representatives appointed by the minority leaders. The governor would have an appointee as well.
Labor unions would have two members, one appointed by the Senate president, another by the House speaker.
The PJM regional transmission organization in northern Illinois and the MISO regional transmission organization in the rest of the state would each designate a member as well. Those are both federally-regulated multi-state organizations that oversee grid reliability and energy auctions for dozens of states. The independent market monitors of those organizations would each have a representative on the board as well.
Several business interests also would have a seat at the table.
Six different power generation companies would have a spot on the board – two appointed each by the Senate president and speaker and one each by each chamber’s minority leaders.
Other groups receiving a seat on the task force include: statewide retail, manufacturing, business and retiree associations; a representative from a minority-owned geothermal group; and two representatives from environmental law groups.
The directors or designees of the Illinois Power Agency, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Illinois Commerce Commission would be on the task force as well.
CEJA response
CEJA was the sprawling energy bill passed last fall that aimed to decarbonize Illinois’ energy sector by 2050, requiring coal, gas and other fossil fuel generating plants to go offline on a staggered timeline.
Sen. Napoleon Harris, D-Harvey, carried the task force bill.
“I've talked to the opposition about some of their concerns, and their concerns was centered around potential rollbacks of CEJA,” he said. “I assured them that's not the intention of this task force, but more so to remain focused on testing the reliability of what we did, and to monitor the grid reliability and to develop the tools to evaluate the impact of those proposed policies.”
Darin, of the Sierra Club, noted he believed the task force function to be duplicative of CEJA, while some of the findings contained in the bill were contradictory of CEJA’s goals of making Illinois’ energy mix carbon free.
Darin said the federally-regulated PJM and MISO grids could override Illinois’ 2050 closure dates for fossil fuel plants if grid reliability were threatened.
When CEJA was passed late last year, its Democratic backers noted it specifically provides that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Illinois Commerce Commission and Illinois Power Agency conduct a study at five-year intervals to determine whether renewables and nuclear are doing enough for grid sustainability.
If they’re not, Rep. Robyn Gabel, an Evanston Democrat who was one of the lead negotiators in the House, said in September the agencies could decide to leave some of the coal- or gas-fired plants online.
Sen. Mike Hastings, D-Frankfort, who was a chief co-sponsor on the CEJA bill, echoed that sentiment in a September news conference.
“The first wave of plants to close would be 2030, and so 2025 we’ll start the planning process in terms of grid reliability,” Hastings said in a news conference following the bill’s passage. “And through that we’ll determine, based on the planned closures, what's the baseload generation going to be for the state of Illinois and we'll make an assessment at that point whether or not we have to extend certain timelines, or put other measures in place.”
Hastings supported the task force measure Thursday, noting in a floor speech that it’s “a bipartisan issue to ensure that the lights do go on.” The bill “should be a precursor” to look into new forms of energy, he said.
Sen. Sue Rezin, a Republican from Morris who voted for CEJA, praised the task force bill.
“We're not changing any of the negotiations from the last energy bill that we agreed on, worked on for two years,” she said. “But this is a task force to make sure that this state's energy portfolio has the mechanism to create reliability.”
Nuclear ban
The House had its own discussion on energy reliability, with Rep. Mark Walker, D-Arlington Heights, leading a discussion about lifting the state’s 1987 cap on new nuclear power developments.
In a conversation with Capitol News Illinois, Walker said the cap was put in place at a time when the dangers of carbon emissions were not as clear as they are today. Nuclear energy does not emit carbon.
Having the option to consider new nuclear developments, whether they are micro-reactors or large utility-scale plants, would be good to have as the state seeks to be carbon free by 2050, he said.
The discussion at the committee level was on a subject matter basis, meaning any decision to lift the cap would come at a future date.

January 27, 1993 - Unidentified Female
On January 27, 1993, the head of a white female was found in a wooded area in the Wayne Fitzgerald State Park in Jefferson County, Illinois. Postmortem examination revealed the victim had approximately shoulder length reddish-brown hair.
Analysis by the University of Illinois, Anthropology Department indicated the victim's age ranged between 30 to 50 years. Unusual skeletal characteristics of the skull and upper front cervical vertebrae indicate the victim suffered from chronic spasmodic torticollis or wryneck, a condition which causes stress on the muscles which are responsible for maintaining upright head posture. Evidence of a healed traumatic lesion on the skull suggests this condition may have been preceded by head trauma; this would have resulted in the victim maintaining a leftward tilt of the head.

January 30, 2002 - Unidentified Female
On Wednesday, January 30, 2002, at approximately 4:30 p.m., the Illinois State Police responded to a complaint concerning the discovery of skeletal remains near mile marker 22 on Interstate 64. The complaint originated from workers of the Illinois Department of Transportation who were working in the vicinity and discovered the remains.
The skeletal remains were situated off the roadway on the east side of the Silver Creek overpass in rural Mascoutah, Illinois. At the direction of the St. Clair County Coroner’s office, the remains were transferred to St. Mary’s Hospital, East St. Louis, Illinois, where an autopsy was performed. The autopsy, performed by Dr. James Petterchak, revealed the following information: the deceased is believed to be an African-American female, approximately aged 20 to 30 years, with two rings on the left hand (one 14 ct. small gold band (size 7 1/4) and one costume style ring (size 6 ½) with a light blue colored tear shaped stone), wearing a black colored sleeveless one-piece Jason Matthews brand jumpsuit.
The autopsy could not determine the cause of the death and it is believed that the victim has been deceased for several months. Additional forensic examinations will be conducted to determine the identity of the woman.
Anyone with information concerning the identity of the victim or the circumstances surrounding her death are urged to contact Illinois State Police, Zone 6 Investigations at 618/346-3782, or Crimestoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS(8477).
March 11, 2002 - Unidentified Female
On March 11, 2002, at approximately 1:57 p.m., the Illinois State Police responded to a complaint concerning the discovery of human skeletal remains near mile post 23 on Interstate 70 (eastbound) near Collinsville, Illinois. The complaint originated from workers of the Illinois Department of Transportation who were working in the vicinity and discovered the remains.
The remains were removed from the scene and transported to the Madison County Morgue in Edwardsville, Illinois, where an autopsy was conducted on March 12, 2002. The autopsy did not determine a cause of death, however further examination by forensic anthropologists revealed the following information: The skeletal remains are of a black female, approximately 5'1" to 5'6" in height (5'3" believed to the most accurate).
There is no estimate of weight, and the approximate age is between 24-30 years old. It is believed the remains have been at this location for approximately 4-6 months. The skeletal remains were almost completely intact and clad in a pair of gray colored Second Skins brand shorts (size: medium) with rhinestones and a red and white colored check flannel style Tommy Hilfiger button down man's style shirt (size: XL). In addition, a man's style "gold" nugget style ring with two glass stones was found with the remains. The ring originally held four stones in the setting. The ring was determined to be costume jewelry and is a size 7 1/4. Also found were two bracelets. The one bracelet is a metal hoop, approximately 3 inches in diameter, smooth on one side with a channel on the other side. A ring of black onyx beads on elastic string fits into the channel bracelet. The second bracelet is a combination of three separate bracelets. The second bracelet has numerous plastic beads (yellow, green, black, mauve, and brown) strung with thin elastic string that could be stretched. The three separate bracelets were gathered by a single, oval shaped metallic ring with a small hole at one end that appeared to be for the purpose of hanging a charm.
On June 18, 2002, the Illinois State Police released computer recreation images of a black female victim that was originally discovered on March 11, 2002. The images reflect how the victim may have looked prior to her death.
Anyone with information concerning the identity of the victim or the circumstances surrounding her death are urged to contact Illinois State Police, Zone 6 Investigations at 618/346-3782, or Crimestoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS(8477).

The counting is over in the second union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. But it's too close to call.
There were 993 "no" votes and 875 "yes" votes, but more than 400 contested ballots remain. According to the National Labor Relations Board, there will be a hearing within a few weeks to decide if any of the challenged ballots will be opened and counted.
More than 6,100 workers were eligible to vote in the do-over election, which was ordered after the NLRB found that Amazon had improperly interfered in last year's tally.
Turnout in this year's vote was down from last year when over half of eligible voters cast ballots. But among those who actually voted this time around, there was greater support for the union. Last year, workers voted more than 2-to-1 against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a well-established national union.
"This time around we were able to educate more about unions," said Jennifer Bates, a warehouse employee, noting that organizers were able to get closer to workers now that the pandemic has eased.
The RWDSU called for every vote to be counted.
"The tenacity and courage of these workers never wavered in this unnecessarily long process," said RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum in a statement. "Workers will have to wait just a little bit longer to ensure their voices are heard."
Meanwhile in a separate Amazon union election on Staten Island in New York, the vote count will continue Friday morning. Roughly 8,000 workers were eligible to vote on whether to join the Amazon Labor Union, an upstart organization led by former and current Amazon warehouse employees. With ballots still to count, the union is in the lead, with 1,518 voting yes so far, and 1,154 voting no.

The country is only heading into the midterm elections, but politicians are looking to the 2024 presidential elections.
The new Marquette Law School Poll shows that President Joe Biden has the edge over three potential Republican Challengers nationwide. But poll director Charles Franklin says a lot of people didn’t want to vote for any of the matchups.
“The public is grumpy by a whole lot of measures. And I think this wishing for someone else is also a sign of that grumpy essence kind of non-partisan wishing for someone else.”
Franklin says this is less a chance to start the race for the 2024 election, and more of a way to gauge interest in the race.
“Our real purpose here is to explore how the Republican Party is thinking about alternatives to President Trump and whether President Trump may run again.”
President Biden showed a lead over former President Donald Trump, former vice president Mike Pence, and Florida governor Ron DeSantis. | https://www.wrn.com/2022/03/marquette-poll-shows-president-biden-holds-very-early-lead-in-2024-presidential-races/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:48Z |

GCM Mining Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results
TORONTO, March 31, 2022 - GCM Mining Corp. (TSX: GCM; OTCQX: TPRFF) announced today the release of its audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the year ended December 31, 2021. All financial figures contained herein are expressed in U.S. dollars ("USD") unless otherwise noted. Non-GAAP financial performance measures in this press release are identified with "NG". For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and a detailed reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure under IFRS, please refer to the Company's MD&A.
Lombardo Paredes, Chief Executive Officer of GCM Mining, commenting on the 2021 results, said, "In 2021, we accomplished what we set out to achieve last year. We met our production guidance for the sixth consecutive year. Our exploration program at Segovia not only replaced what we mined last year, it contributed to significant increases in our mineral reserves and resources and yielded solid results in our brownfield drilling campaign. We advanced the expansion of our Maria Dama processing plant and we commenced operations at the new polymetallic plant at Segovia. We continued to demonstrate our commitment to ESG in our operations and in the communities in which we work. We strengthened our balance sheet, and through the acquisition of the Toroparu Project in Guyana and the successful Senior Notes issuance, charted a course to grow the Company through diversification. We also returned about $17 million to shareholders through our monthly dividends and NCIB purchases. In the year ahead, we will continue to focus on the execution of our growth plans at both of our cornerstone assets while returning value to our shareholders through our monthly dividends. On behalf of the Board and management, I would like to thank all of our people for making 2021 another successful year for GCM Mining."
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Highlights
- The Company changed its name to GCM Mining Corp. on November 29, 2021 to reflect its strategy to grow through diversification, expanding its operations and investments to other countries and broadening its products to include other metals beyond just gold and silver while returning value to its shareholders through its monthly dividend program.
- GCM remains committed to the health and safety of its employees, and through COMFAMA Colombia, was the first mining company in Antioquia to secure COVID-19 vaccines to immunize its employees and their families in 2021. The Company published its inaugural sustainability report in June 2021 which reflects a focused effort on measuring and disclosing its Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") priorities and performance moving forward. The next sustainability report is expected to be issued in June 2022.
- In December 2021, the Company completed an updated Mineral Resource estimate ("MRE") and preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") for its 100%-owned Toroparu Project in Guyana. In June 2021, the Company acquired all of the shares of Gold X Mining Corp. ("Gold X") it did not already own and then closed a $300 million offering in August 2021 of 6.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes") to fund the development of the Toroparu Project, to prepay the remaining $18.0 million balance of its Gold Notes in September and for general corporate purposes. The updated MRE for Toroparu includes 8.4 million ounces ("Mozs") of Measured & Indicated gold resource at 1.42 g/t and 396 million pounds ("Mlbs") of Measured & Indicated copper resource at 0.1% in 185 million tonnes of rock. The Toroparu PEA affirms the economic viability of the open pit and underground mining operations with total life-of-mine ("LOM") gold production of 5.4 Mozs representing 88.4% of the 6.2 Mozs of gold fed to the milling circuit at an average gold grade of 1.78 g/t over the projected 24-year mine life. The Toroparu PEA also estimates a $794 million after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate, a 46% after-tax Internal Rate of Return and a two-year after-tax payback of the initial $355 million capital cost of the Toroparu Project at a $1,500 per ounce long-term gold price.
- The Company met its annual production guidance for the sixth consecutive year in 2021. GCM's gold production from its Segovia Operations totaled 55,285 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2021, up 10% over the fourth quarter of 2020. This brought Segovia's total gold production in 2021 to 206,389 ounces, up 5% over 2020, and within the Company's guidance range for 2021 of between 200,0000 and 220,000 ounces. Expansion of the Company's processing plant at Segovia to 2,000 tpd is expected to be fully completed by the end of the first half of 2022, lifting the Company's annual production guidance for 2022 to between 210,000 and 225,000 ounces of gold.
- GCM has added revenue diversification at its Segovia Operations through a new polymetallic recovery plant that is recovering commercial quantities of zinc and lead as well as gold and silver into concentrate from its tailings. The Company completed construction of the plant in 2021 and the concentrate production is currently being stockpiled as the Company finalizes offtake contracts for sales to commence in 2022.
- Consolidated revenue amounted to $93.6 million and $382.6 million in the fourth quarter and full year in 2021, respectively, compared with $99.7 million and $390.9 million in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in 2020. Segovia's revenue of $93.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 was up 7% from the fourth quarter of 2020 reflecting a 13% increase in the volume of gold sold that was partially offset by a 5% reduction in realized gold prices. For the year, Segovia's revenue totaled $377.5 million, up 8% compared with last year, reflecting a 5% increase in the volume of gold sold, an approximately 3% increase in realized gold prices and a $1.7 million increase in silver revenues. Revenue in the fourth quarter and full year in 2020 also included $12.6 million and $42.8 million, respectively, from the Marmato Mining Assets owned by Aris Gold Corporation ("Aris"). The Company's equity position in Aris fell below 50% in February 2021 and the Company ceased consolidating the financial results of Aris.
- At the Segovia Operations, total cash costs NG averaged $821 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with $830 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2020, bringing the average for 2021 to $814 per ounce compared with $699 per ounce in 2020. The year-over-year increase in Segovia's annual total cash costs per ounce reflects an increase implemented by the Company in the third quarter of 2020 in the payment rates for material sourced from its contract miner and the small-scale miners in its Segovia title which had not changed since 2017. Including the Marmato mining operations, consolidated total cash costs were $824 per ounce in 2021 compared with $768 per ounce in 2020.
- All-in sustaining costs ("AISC") NG per ounce sold for the Segovia Operations were $1,349 and $1,196 in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in 2021 compared with $1,266 and $1,015 in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in 2020. The year-over-year increase in Segovia's annual AISC in 2021 reflects (i) the increased total cash costs as described above, (ii) an increase in exploration and mine geology, mine development and other sustaining capital expenditures NG to a total of $45.0 million in 2021, up from $35.7 million in last year, (iii) an activity-driven increase in G&A and social programs expenses in 2021 compared with last year, and (iv) a $2.3 million provision for estimated fees related to ongoing investigations of environmental incidents that occurred between 2016 and 2018 at Segovia. Including Marmato, consolidated AISC in 2021 was $1,207 per ounce compared with $1,101 per ounce last year.
- GCM's exploration and mine geology drill campaigns completed a total of approximately 97,000 meters in 444 diamond drill holes at our producing mines and our high-priority brownfield targets in 2021. This led to an increase in the Company's Measured & Indicated Resources at the end of 2021 to 4.6 million tonnes ("Mt") at a grade of 11.0 g/t totalling 1.62 Mozs of gold, up 14% from last year, and its Inferred Resources to 5.3 Mt at a grade of 9.9 g/t totalling 1.70 Mozs of gold, up 41% compared to last year. The Company more than replaced the Mineral Resources it mined in 2021 representing the sixth consecutive year that it has, at a minimum, replaced the Mineral Resources mined at its Segovia Operations. El Silencio and Sandra K were the primary areas of growth within the 2021 Segovia MRE. Similarly, the Company's Mineral Reserve increased by 18% from last year to approximately 745,000 proven and probable ounces of gold based on 2.3 Mt of material at an average head grade of 10.1 g/t.
- Adjusted EBITDA NG amounted to $37.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with $43.1 million in the fourth quarter last year. This brings the total adjusted EBITDA for 2021 to $171.6 million compared with $187.8 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter and full year in 2020 included $0.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, from the Marmato Mining Assets.
- Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $27.4 million compared with $29.5 million in the fourth quarter last year. For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $80.6 million compared with $136.4 million last year reflecting the increase in income tax payments in 2021, changes in non-cash working capital items, including the impact from the delay in receiving 2021's VAT refund claims, and the reduction in adjusted EBITDA from the Segovia Operations in the current year resulting from the increase in production costs, G&A and social programs expenses.
- Free Cash Flow NG in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $12.2 million compared with $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 bringing the total Free Cash Flow for the full year to $26.2 million compared with $73.6 million last year, largely reflecting the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 2021.
- The Company's balance sheet benefitted from the Senior Notes financing, raising its cash position to $323.6 million and working capital to $317.7 million at the end of December 2021. S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings have each issued B+ ratings for the Company's Senior Notes.
- The Company returned a total of $17.0 million to shareholders in 2021 with payment of its monthly dividends totaling $11.5 million and the repurchase of approximately 1.3 million shares for cancellation at a cost of $5.5 million. The Company renewed its NCIB in October 2021 for another year and in the first quarter of 2022, the Company purchased an additional 0.3 million shares for cancellation.
- The Company reported net income of $6.6 million ($0.07 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with a loss of $51.3 million ($0.59 per share) in the fourth quarter last year, reflecting an improvement in the loss on financial instruments and lower income tax expense which more than offset the impact of lower income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the full year, net income in 2021 amounted to $180.0 million ($2.25 per share) compared with a net loss of $27.6 million ($0.08 per share) in in 2020. Net income in 2021 reflected the decrease in income from operations this year and benefitted from the $56.9 million gain on loss of control of Aris, the $49.6 million gain on financial instruments (compared with the $72.9 million loss on financial instruments last year) and the $8.9 million gain on sale of the Zancudo Project. Net income in 2021 included Aris Transaction costs of $9.8 million while net income in 2020 included Bluenose RTO Transaction costs of $16.7 million.
- Adjusted net income NG for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $11.7 million ($0.12 per share), up from $7.7 million ($0.15 per share) in the fourth quarter last year as a reduction in income tax expense more than offset the decrease in income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the full year, adjusted net income in 2021 was $71.6 million ($0.87 per share) compared with $75.9 million ($1.28 per share) in 2020. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted net income in 2021 largely reflects the decrease in 2021's income from operations, partially offset by a reduction in income tax expense compared with last year.
- The Company added a 27% equity interest in Denarius Metals Corp. ("Denarius") to its portfolio in early 2021, giving it exposure to the Lomero-Poyatos polymetallic deposit located in Spain in the Iberian Pyrite Belt and to the Guia Antigua and Zancudo Projects in Colombia. Denarius commenced drilling at its Guia Antigua and Lomero Projects in 2021. At the Lomero Project, early drill results have confirmed that the massive and semi-massive sulfide zones are enriched in copper and significantly in zinc and gold and largely validate the thickness and grades of selected drill holes from previous drilling campaigns incorporated in the historic mineral resource. On March 29, 2022, GCM acquired 3.4 million shares of Denarius in a block trade on the open market at a cost of approximately $1.3 million, increasing its equity interest to 28.6%.

Outlook
After pivoting its focus in 2021 to implement a strategy for growth through diversification, GCM's outlook for 2022 is centered around its two cornerstone assets, the Segovia Operations in Colombia and the Toroparu Project in Guyana.
At Segovia, the Company has produced a total of 33,658 ounces in the first two months of 2022, up from 30,415 ounces in the first two months of 2021, and its trailing 12-months' total gold production at the end of February 2022 stood at 209,632 ounces, up about 1.6% over 2021. The expansion of the Maria Dama plant from 1,500 to 2,000 tpd is essentially complete, except for the expansion of the crushing facility that is expected to be completed in the second quarter this year. GCM expects that it will operate the expanded plant at about 85% to 95% of capacity in the second half of 2022, increasing its expected annual production for 2022 to between 210,000 and 225,000 ounces of gold.
GCM spent a total of $45.0 million for sustaining capital expenditures NG, including mine exploration and development, and another $10.9 million on non-sustaining capital expenditures NG, including brownfield exploration, Maria Dama plant expansion and completion of the new polymetallic plant. For 2022, GCM has committed to undertake another robust diamond drilling campaign that will comprise approximately 91,000 meters with up to 52,000 meters of in-mine and near-mine drilling and 15,000 meters of underground in-fill drilling at its four producing mines together with 24,000 meters of brownfield drilling at its high-priority targets within the other 24 known veins it is not currently mining in its Segovia mining title. The Company expects that its sustaining capital expenditures NG in 2022 may range between $50 million to $55 million, including the planned drilling at its four producing mines. Non-sustaining capital expenditures NG in 2022 are expected to total up to $10 million, including the brownfield drilling campaign and expenditures to complete the Maria Dama plant expansion, to upgrade and automate certain components in the polymetallic plant and construct additional warehouse space, to commence construction of its new solar generation project and to implement a new ERP system in the Segovia Operations.
In 2021, GCM completed the updated MRE and a PEA for the development of the Toroparu Project. The Company also commenced various pre-construction activities in 2021, including hiring of the project team and key contractors, preparation of the camp facilities, revamping of the local airstrip to enhance logistics and access to the site, design and civil works related to the camp, road and water management, electrical network design, permitting, design of its initial ESG initiatives and various studies associated with environmental matters at the project site. Following completion of the PEA, the Company immediately commenced activities, including additional infill drilling, to advance the studies for the project to prepare a preliminary feasibility study ("PFS"). The Company is in the midst of a competitive bid process and plans to incorporate a change to contract mining in the PFS that is now expected to be finalized early in the third quarter of 2022, at which point formal construction of the project is expected to commence. The final mining license is also expected to be received in mid-2022. In light of the various pre-construction activities underway, the Company continues to anticipate that production will commence from the Toroparu Project in early 2024.
The Company remains committed to its dividend program at the current monthly rate of CA$0.015 per share and expects to continue to repurchase common shares, within certain price ranges, for cancellation under its NCIB to support continued value creation for its shareholders.
On March 21, 2022, the Company announced it has subscribed to a $35 million 7.5% convertible senior unsecured debenture (the "Aris Debenture") to be issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aris to pay a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition, through a joint venture company, of a 20% ownership interest (the "Acquisition") in the Soto Norte gold project in Colombia. The issuance of the Aris Debenture is conditional upon closing of the Acquisition by Aris, expected to occur in April 2022, and is subject to the approval of the TSX. The ability of the Company to fully execute its conversion rights under the Aris Debenture is subject to disinterested Aris shareholder approval at its next annual meeting of shareholders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@uloxa.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one uloxa.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

By JONATHAN LANDRUM Jr.
AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammys might be missing stars like Drake, The Weeknd and Kanye West as a performer, but the biggest night in music could still shine bright on the Las Vegas Strip.
The ceremony relocated to Las Vegas for the first-time ever with several artists who could have epic nights including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Jon Batiste. The awards shifted from Los Angeles because of the rising COVID-19 cases and omicron variant in January. Sunday’s show will air live beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS and the Paramount+ streaming service.
Host Trevor Noah calls Las Vegas a “perfect place to have a celebration” with fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Last year, the Grammys had a music festival vibe with parts of the show held outdoors in an intimate in-person setting with music artists mixed with pre-taped performances.
Noah expects an entertaining show with several performers set to hit the stage including Rodrigo, Eilish, Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Brandi Carlile, Batiste, Silk Sonic, H.E.R., Chris Stapleton, Leslie Odom Jr. and Brothers Osborne. He said the awards will be a celebration of the music industry coming back to life.
“There’s an element of this (show) that’s like a music camp,” Noah said. “I think it’s going to bring a different energy, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
It’s still unclear whether the Foo Fighters will take the stage following the recent death of its drummer Taylor Hawkins. The rock band – nominated for three Grammys – is scheduled to perform during the ceremony, but they recently canceled all upcoming concert dates.
The Grammys will continue to move forward without West, known as Ye, after news surfaced earlier this month that he wouldn’t perform at the show because of his “concerning online behavior.” The Weeknd is still boycotting the awards and Drake said he wanted no part in competing for a Grammy, withdrawing his two nominations.
The three popular performers will be missed, but the show will certainly go on.
The multitalented Jon Batiste enters the Grammys as the leading nominee with 11 in a variety of genres including R&B, jazz, American roots music, classical and music video. Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. are tied for the second-most nominations with eight apiece.
The awards will introduce its expanded 10 nominees in three major genres — record, album and song of the year. The growing categories will make the competition stronger but could make choosing a winner a lot tougher.
For album of the year, the Recording Academy expanded the category’s eligibility for any featured artists, producers, songwriters and engineers — even if the music creator co-wrote one song on the project. That means there could be a large amount of winners on stage, depending on who wins.
For example, if Bieber’s “Justice” wins at the show, more than 50 creators could pack the stage. The same could be said for Ye, Doja Cat and H.E.R., who have a plethora of contributors.
But Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” features songs written by the young star and her brother Finneas, who produced all of her tracks. Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga and Rodrigo are sitting in the same boat.
Harvey Mason jr., the academy’s CEO, said the number of creators in a category won’t dictate the winner.
Either way, Noah said he doesn’t mind.
“It’ll be great to see that moment,” he said. “You get to be on stage and celebrated for your work. I’m excited for that. I want to see 25 people on stage celebrating and sharing the love and joy for something they’ve done.”
Before the awards, the academy will hold a couple events including a tribute to Joni Mitchell at the MusiCares Person of the Year on Friday night. Chaka Khan, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Porter and Beck are among those expected to perform.
On Saturday, Grammy winner John Legend will be honored during the academy’s Black Music Collective. The singer will receive his first-ever Recording Academy Global Impact Award for his personal and professional achievements in the music industry.
Legend will be celebrated with a performance by Summer Walker, D-Nice and MC Lyte as the voice for the evening. Jimmy Jam will be making remarks.

Many Americans now can get a second COVID-19 booster, but it’s hard to tell who really needs another shot right now and who could wait.
The Food and Drug Administration authorized extra Pfizer or Moderna shots for anyone 50 or older and for some younger people with severely weakened immune systems. It’s an effort to get ahead of a possible next coronavirus surge.
With COVID-19 cases low in the U.S., it’s easy to ignore calls for another dose — or for those who aren’t yet vaccinated or boosted to get up to date, said Dr. Erica Johnson, an infectious disease specialist at the American Board of Internal Medicine.
Her advice: If you’re on the fence, use this lull to talk with your doctor about how protected you really are — and need to be.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A SECOND BOOSTER?
Anyone 50 and older can get the extra dose at least four months after their last vaccination. So can severely immune-compromised patients, such as organ transplant recipients, as young as 12.
Adults can choose either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccine for their extra shot, but Pfizer is the only option for children.
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO GOT JOHNSON & JOHNSON?
Adults who received J&J’s single-dose vaccine already were eligible for a booster of any kind — and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends only some of them get another.
A new study found a Moderna or Pfizer second shot was superior to getting a second J&J dose. So the advice is anyone who got a second J&J shot now can choose a Moderna or Pfizer dose.
But if they already had one of those other boosters, the CDC says only those who meet the newest criteria — age or weak immune system — qualify for another.
WHAT PROMPTED THE MOVE?
Vaccines still offer strong protection against severe illness and death, but effectiveness against milder infections wanes months later. The shots also don’t work as well against new variants like the super-contagious omicron mutant as they did earlier in the pandemic.
That’s why everyone 12 and older, regardless of their health, already was urged to get a first booster for the best chance at fending off omicron. Only about half of those eligible have.
With an omicron sibling causing spikes in infections in other countries, officials are nervous the U.S. is next, prompting efforts to offer extra protection to the most vulnerable.
WHAT’S THE EVIDENCE FOR ANOTHER BOOSTER?
Many scientists say it’s limited, leaving public health officials to use their best judgment.
During the U.S. omicron wave, two Pfizer or Moderna doses plus a booster were 94% effective against death or needing a ventilator, according to a recent CDC study. That protection was lowest — 74% — in immune-compromised people, although most hadn’t gotten the already recommended third dose.
Israel began offering people 60 and older a second booster during its omicron surge. Preliminary findings posted online last week show there were fewer deaths among people who chose another booster compared to those who skipped the fourth dose.
The FDA decided to set the age limit at 50 instead of 60 because that’s when chronic illnesses like heart disease or diabetes become more common, leaving people more vulnerable to serious COVID-19.
WHO REALLY NEEDS A SECOND BOOSTER?
The CDC says an extra shot is an option — but those most likely to benefit are those most vulnerable to severe disease, including people 65 and older and 50-somethings who have multiple health problems.
WHEN SHOULD I GET IT?
Again, experts have differing opinions, partly because it’s not clear how long any extra benefit lasts.
“We can never really perfectly time when the next wave is, or when someone might encounter infection,” said Johnson, who sees patients at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore. “To be as ready as possible, I think everyone just needs to stay as up to date as possible with their vaccines.”
Another dose now may make sense for older people and the immune-compromised, but “there’s less urgency in an otherwise healthy person,” said University of Pennsylvania immunologist E. John Wherry.
At 50, Wherry said he’s healthy enough to watch if cases rise enough to prompt another booster, but he’d prefer to wait until fall. That’s because going longer between vaccinations allows the immune response to better mature and strengthen. | https://www.kget.com/health/coronavirus/who-really-needs-2nd-covid-booster-and-who-can-wait/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:52Z |
A 40-year-old man arrested in connection with vandalizing a Westminster mosque earlier this week could face a hate crime charge, officials said Thursday.
Police responded to the Al Noor Foundation Mosque at 14522 Goldenwest St. about 7:50 a.m. Wednesday.
The suspect, Ernesto Martinez, tried to run from the area, but responding officers found him and detained him without incident, Westminster police said.
An investigation revealed Martinez, of Santa Ana, used a gallon-sized paint can to “strike the front door multiple times,” police said.
He then allegedly threw the paint can against the glass doors and ground area near the door of the mosque before trying to get away.
“After being detained, Martinez made an inflammatory religious statement about why he vandalized the mosque,” police said without elaborating.
Martinez, who is on post-release community supervision, was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism, violating civil rights and a probation violation.
Detectives continue to investigate the possible hate crime and ask anyone with further information about the incident or suspect to call the Westminster Police Department at 714-548-3212, or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS or by logging on to www.occrimestoppers.org. | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/man-arrested-after-allegedly-vandalizing-westminster-mosque/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:52Z |

Nio, Inc. NIO has a lot riding on a trio of new products in 2022, according to a Deutsche Bank analyst.
The Nio Analyst: Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu reiterated a Buy rating and $50 price target for Nio shares. The analyst also named Nio as his top pick.
The Nio Takeaways: Nio has embarked on the most important product cycle in its history, Yu said in a Thursday note following an investor meeting with the management.
After stagnant volume for the last few quarters due to operational bottlenecks, deliveries are on track to increase from 10,000 to at least 25,000 exiting 2021, the analyst said. This will shift the narrative away from supply constraints to a product supercyle, he said.
"Critical to this, Nio's ET7 and ET5 are set to be the most desired cars in the China market this year, potentially representing category defining products for what many see as an increasingly competitive market," Yu said.

Nio has materially increased the resilience of its supply chain while also aggressively investing to deliver top-notch premium experience, the analyst said.
Nio is planning to maintain sales of existing models at 10,000 units per month and ramp up the ET7 by about 1,000 units incrementally every month, implying second-quarter volume of 36,000 units, he said.
In the third quarter, ET7 sales are likely to reach 4,000 to 5,000 units, Yu said.
The ES7, built at Nio's existing Hefei plant and due for deliveries in August, will ramp up to 4,000-5,000 units by year-end, the analyst said.
The midsize ET5 sedan, built at the new NEO Park Plant and due to begin deliveries by September, is expected to be targeting a per-month rate of 10,000 units within three to fourth months of launch, he said.
For 2022, Deutsche Bank estimates sales of 170,000 units, an increase of 86%, with deliveries nearly doubling to 320,000 units in 2023.
NIO Price Action: Nio shares were slipping by 3.86% to $21.32 Thursday afternoon, according to Benzinga Pro.

NAPLES, Fla., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Enveric Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ: ENVB) ("Enveric" or the "Company"), a neuroscience-focused biotechnology company developing next-generation, psychedelic-inspired mental health medicines, today reported its financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2021, and provided a business update.
"2021 was a foundational year that set the stage for Enveric to execute on its strategy in the future," said Dr. Joseph Tucker, Enveric's Chief Executive Officer. "With the acquisition of MagicMed in September 2021, we immediately began moving forward with the clinical development strategy of our next-generation treatments and therapies for mental health. We find ourselves strategically positioned with an experienced team of industry professionals, collaborative partners including the University of Calgary, a growing intellectual property portfolio, and a robust Central Nervous System pipeline of promising drug candidates. As we build upon the three core pillars of our success, Drug Development, Drug Discovery, and Intellectual Property, we are focused on creating effective mental health medicines."
Corporate Updates During and Subsequent to the Fourth Quarter 2021:
Clinical Trials

- Successfully synthesized and filed a provisional patent for EV104, the Company's cannabinoid, and celecoxib conjugate. EV104a and EV104b are the Company's new molecular conjugates for Osteoarthritis ("OA") and other pain indications.
- Filed an additional provisional patent application based on new discoveries by the company. The patent application and claimed drug candidates fall into the Company's EVM201 second-generation, psychedelic-derived drug development program.
Leadership Team
- Appointed Bob Dagher, MD, as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Dagher is a Board-certified neurology and psychiatry physician, bringing over 15 years of clinical experience and extensive therapeutic knowledge in the neuroscience space.
Capital Markets
- Closed a $10 million public offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and to fund other general corporate purposes.
- Included in the new AdvisorShares Psychedelics ETF, trading under the ticker symbol "PSIL" on the NYSE Arca exchange. PSIL is an ETF that focuses on investments in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and life sciences companies that are leading the nascent but advancing psychedelic industry.
Financial Results for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2021:
Comprehensive net loss was $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, including $36.3 million in net non-cash expenses, with basic and diluted loss per share of $2.07, as compared to a comprehensive net loss of $7.0 million with basic and diluted loss per share of $1.19 per share for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $11.5 million consisting of the net loss, adjusted by a net of $36.3 million in non-cash expenses and changes in asset and liability balances of $1.2 million.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17.4 million and working capital of $15.3 million.

The United States Department of Agriculture released an update to its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and found that nearly everything one might ingest – whether it comes from the grocery store or restaurant – is going up in price.
And yes, that's on top of the price increases consumers have already been forced to endure in the last year.
"All food prices are now predicted to increase between 4.5 and 5.5%," the USDA's Economic Research Service explained in the March report.
While the overall increase is alarming, a closer look at various food categories show just how expensive shoppers can expect items to get, according to the USDA:
As for take-out or dine-in menus, the USDA said those prices are predicted to go up between 5.5 and 6.5% for the remainder of this year.
Additionally, food prices climbed 7.9% for the year ending in February 2022.
This was "the largest 12-month advance since July 1981," according to the department.
The report also noted current global events that will only add to the uncertainty of food affordability, saying, "The impacts of the conflict in Ukraine and the recent increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve are expected to put upward and downward pressures on food prices, respectively. The situations will be closely monitored to assess the net impacts of these concurrent events on food prices as they unfold."

BELLEVILLE - Most infant care programs and many other day cares have waitlists right now, in part due to staffing issues and licensing restrictions.
If you're lucky enough to find somewhere your child can go, how can you evaluate the program's quality?
ExceleRate Illinois provides parents with a framework to determine the quality of a facility based on its state licensure and whether it holds a bronze, silver or gold circle of quality.
You can use ExceleRate's search tool to find out whether the child care option you are considering holds a state license and/or a quality rating from the organization. Child care providers are designated as holding a circle of quality based on whether they meet guidelines for training, education, administrative standards and more.
Shauna Ejeh, senior vice president for Illinois Action for Children, recommended this tool and also said personal experience is important in choosing a facility.
"In the end, it's about whether or not your child is going to feel comfortable in that experience, and whether or not that environment is what you want for your child. Visiting either that home or that center, I think, is always critical in trying to understand whether or not it would be a good fit," Ejeh said.
ExceleRate's bronze circle of quality indicates a program's staff has completed ExceleRate Illinois trainings and meets qualifications related to continuous program improvement.
The silver circle means a program has reached certain qualifications in the three areas of learning environment and teaching quality, administrative standards and training/education.
Achieving a gold circle designation means a program has met the highest quality standard in the above three areas.
You can check a program's compliance with licensing requirements here, and a list of licensing requirements is also available online.
More advice about how to choose a child care provider is available from Child Care Aware.
Most popular girl names in the 60s in Illinois
What's in a name?
Every new parent faces the difficult decision of choosing the perfect name for a newborn. First names rarely get changed after being assigned and carry with them a wide range of meanings and associations. This creates a lot of pressure on expectant parents to pick the perfect moniker for their little ones.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, many parents end up choosing the same names over and over. Research suggests that we pick specific names implying desired characteristics about our children, selecting names for boys and girls intended to shape them. Male monikers are commonly inspired by political, cultural, and personal influences that suggest good, masculine, and well-rounded people.
The 1960s are commonly associated with tie-dye-clad hippies, psychedelic experimentation, and rock 'n' roll icons like the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. But underneath the flower power, free love exterior, the ‘60s were a period of radical social and political change—not only in the United States but around the world. The decade was one characterized by a host of juxtapositions; anger and fear over injustice and uneasy political conditions lived alongside notions of musical awakening and pacifist harmony.
Stacker compiled a list of the most popular baby names for boys in the ‘60s in Illinois using data from the Social Security Administration . Names are ranked by number of babies born. The names in this list represent the distinct intersection of Baby Boomer and Gen X and a reflection of some of the most well-known celebrities, musicians, and trends of the time. Keep reading to see if your name was among the most popular in the ‘60s in your home state.

The old saying, “All good things come to an end,” is fitting for the Wisconsin Badgers and their fans. Sophomore guard Johnny Davis announced Thursday on ESPN’s NBA Today, that he is leaving Madison for the NBA.
Davis said, “I will forever cherish the experiences I had and the relationships I built during my time in Madison and I am so thankful I chose to be a Badger. With that being said, I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to pursue a lifelong dream and will be declaring for the 2022 NBA Draft. I am so grateful for the support everyone has given me, for the opportunities basketball has brought into my life, and for the chance to continue to play the game I love.”
A projected lottery pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, Davis looks to become the first Badger drafted since Frank Kaminsky (9th overall) and Sam Dekker (18th overall) were each selected in the 2015 NBA Draft.
Davis averaged 19.7 points and 8.2 rebounds a game this season and led the nation in scoring against top-25 opponents during the regular season (24.1).
Davis won Big Ten Player of the Year honors and is a finalist for both the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award.
The NBA Draft Combine is scheduled for May 16-22 and the NBA Draft Lottery is set for May 17, both in Chicago. The NBA Draft will take place Thursday, June 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. | https://www.wrn.com/2022/03/wisconsins-davis-declares-for-nba-draft/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:54Z |

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A recent public event inside a Dallas fire station opened a lot of eyes to the living conditions of firefighters that are far from ideal.
But some concerned citizens and a local business have taken on the challenge of changing that.
We usually only see them during those critical minutes when they emerge to save lives and property, but Dallas firefighters spend most of their time waiting at their stations for those urgent calls.
“So at least a third of our lives,” said Lt. Kyle Hinojosa of Dallas Fire-Rescue Station 6. “Today for instance, I’m working overtime. So this is 48 hours straight.”
Lt. Hinojosa supervises Station 6 where those long days and nights away from home are spent living among torn, uncomfortable, hand me down furniture, some of it that even came from state prisons.
“People will generally bring in stuff that they’re getting rid of. Bad state of disrepair. It’s all lived a very full life,” he said.
Too full of a life for citizens who recently noticed and contacted an area furniture store which on Thursday donated brand new reclining couches, sofas and chairs.
Canales Furniture is also planning to do the same for at least three other Dallas fire stations.
“Doing this, hopefully this will get the word out to citizens of Dallas,” said Hinojosa. “Spread the word. We’re just regular people that show up to work here every day and spend a bulk of our life here and it’s nice being comfortable in home.”
The station just south of downtown is one of the busiest in the city.
The firefighters assigned there don’t get much down time, but this generous donation will help them enjoy it a lot more.
“People are more aware of sleep deprivation and everything that this job tends to bring to the table for us. And you know, anytime we can utilize downtime, it’s much appreciated,” said Hinojosa. | https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2022/03/31/dallas-fire-station-furniture-generous-donation/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:55Z |

If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@undershape.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one undershape.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Steppe Gold Announces 2021 Annual Financial Results and Refiling of its Restated Annual Financial Statements
ULAANBAATAR, March 31, 2022 - Steppe Gold Ltd. (TSX: STGO) (OTCMKTS: STPGF) (FRA: 2J9) ("Steppe Gold" or the "Company") announces its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as the filing of its restated annual financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2020 (the "Restated Financial Statements") and provides a corporate update. The Restated Financial Statements were prepared following a continuous disclosure review by Staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") of the Company's disclosure records.
HIGHLIGHTS
Financial Results for the year ended December 31, 2021
- Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $24,050 on sales of 12,899 gold ounces and 28,622 silver ounces with average realized prices per ounce of $1,837 and $24 respectively.
- Operating income from mine operations, before depreciation and depletion was $12,435.
- Consolidated Group Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $4,909.
- As at December 31, 2021 cash and restricted cash amounted to $71,817; total bank and other debt was $77,920 for net debt of $6,103.
In conjunction with preparation of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and as part of a continuous disclosure review by Staff of the OSC in relation to the accounting for the Streaming Agreement, dated August 11, 2017 between the Company and Triple Flag Mine Finance Bermuda, Steppe Gold identified an error in how the arrangement has been reflected in the previously issued financial statements. The Company previously determined that the stream obligation was in substance a debt instrument (carried at amortized cost) with embedded derivatives (recognized at $nil value) linked to gold and silver commodity prices.
Upon further review of the arrangement the Company has determined that the arrangement should be accounted for in its entirety as a derivative measured at fair value through profit and losses. The Restated Financial Statements resulted in changes to revenue, the stream liability and fair value gains/losses related to the liability. The adjustments did not impact the overall net cash flows of the Company. The Company evaluated the significance of the corrections and determined the adjustments were material to the consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2021.
Steppe Gold has therefore restated its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as the associated management's discussion and analysis. Comparative figures for 2021 interim periods will also be restated in 2022 interim reports.
The Company's consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 have been filed on SEDAR. The full version of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and associated management's discussion & analysis can be viewed on the Company's website at www.steppegold.com or under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Fungal symbionts can buffer plants from environmental extremes and may affect host capacities to acclimate, adapt, or redistribute under environmental change; however, the distributions of fungal symbionts along abiotic gradients are poorly described. Fungal mutualists should be the most beneficial in abiotically stressful environments, and the structure of networks of plant-fungal interactions likely shift along gradients, even when fungal community composition does not track environmental stress. We sampled 634 unique combinations of fungal endophytes and mycorrhizal fungi, grass species identities, and sampling locations from 66 sites across six replicate altitudinal gradients in the western Colorado Rocky Mountains. The diversity and composition of leaf endophytic, root endophytic, and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal guilds and the overall abundance of fungal functional groups (pathogens, saprotrophs, mutualists) tracked grass host identity more closely than elevation. Network structures of root endophytes become more nested and less specialized at higher elevations, but network structures of other fungal guilds did not vary with elevation. Overall, grass species identity had overriding influence on the diversity and composition of above- and belowground fungal endophytes and AM fungi, despite large environmental variation. Therefore, in our system climate change may rarely directly affect fungal symbionts. Instead, fungal symbiont distributions will most likely track the range dynamics of host grasses. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556676787897/shaping-the-internet-in-a-community-s-image | 2022-04-01T01:22:57Z |
By HALELUYA HADERO and ANNE D’INNOCENZIO
AP Business Writers
NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon workers in Alabama appear to have rejected a union bid in a tight race, according to early results on Thursday. But outstanding challenged votes could change the outcome.
In New York, union supporters have the edge in a count that will continue Friday morning.
Warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama, voted 993 to 875 against forming a union. The National Labor Relations Board, which oversees the election, said that 416 challenged votes could potentially overturn that result. A hearing to go through the challenged ballots will occur in the next few days.
Meanwhile, in a separate union election in Staten Island, New York, the nascent Amazon Labor Union is leading by more than 350 votes out of about 2,670 tallied.
The close election in Bessemer marks a sharp contrast to last year, when Amazon workers overwhelmingly rejected the union.
“This is just the beginning and we will continue to fight,” said Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which is organizing the union drive in Bessemer, at a Thursday press conference. “Regardless of the final outcome, workers have shown what is possible. They have helped ignite a movement.”
Appelbaum said RWDSU will be filing objections to how Amazon handled the election but declined to be specific. He also took the opportunity to lash out at current labor laws, which he believes are rigged against unions and favor of corporations.
“It should not be so difficult to organize a union in the United States,” he said.
If a majority of Amazon workers votes yes in either Bessemer or Staten Island, it would mark the first successful U.S. organizing effort in the company’s history. Organizers have faced an uphill battle against the nation’s second-largest private employer, which is making every effort to keep unions out.
In New York, the ALU has led the charge to form a union along with Chris Smalls, a fired Amazon employee who now heads the fledging group. Turnout for the in-person election was unclear but Smalls was hopeful of victory.
“To be leading in Day One and be up a couple hundred against a trillion dollar company, this is the best feeling in the world,” Smalls said after the conclusion of Thursday’s counting.
While Smalls’ attention has been focused on securing victory in New York, similar efforts in Alabama also weighed heavily.
“I’m not too sure what’s going in Alabama right now, but I know that the sky’s the limit if you can organize any warehouse,” he said, noting that the vote in Alabama could well end up differently. “I hope that they’re successful. I don’t know what’s going on yet, but we know we show our support and solidarity with them.”
The warehouse in Staten Island employs more than 8,300 workers, who pack and ship supplies to customers based mostly in the Northeast. A labor win there was considered difficult, but organizers believe their grassroots approach is more relatable to workers and could help them overcome where established unions have failed in the past.
John Logan, director of Labor and Employment Studies at San Francisco State University, said the early vote counts in New York has been “shocking.” ALU has no backing from an established union and is powered by former and current warehouse workers. The group had also filed for a union election after getting support from about 30% of the facility’s workforce, a much lower percentage than what unions usually seek.
“I don’t think that many people thought that the Amazon Labor Union had much of a chance of winning at all,” Logan said. “And I think we’re likely to see more of those (approaches) going forward.”
Though RWDSU is currently lagging behind with challenged ballots outstanding, Logan said that election was also remarkable because the union has made a good effort narrowing its margin from last year’s election.
After a crushing defeat last year, when a majority of workers voted against forming a union, RWDSU is hoping for a different outcome in the Bessemer election, in which mail-in ballots were sent to 6,100 workers in early February. Federal labor officials scrapped the results of the first election there and ordered a re-do after ruling Amazon tainted the election process.
The RWDSU said election there had a turnout rate of about 39% this year, much smaller than last year. Appelbaum blamed the low numbers on high turnover — he believes thousands of people who worked for Amazon in January and were on the official list to be eligible to vote either quit or were fired. He also believes that an in-person election, which the RWDSU had asked for, would have made a difference
Amazon has pushed back hard in both elections. The retail giant held mandatory meetings, where workers were told unions are a bad idea. The company also launched an anti-union website targeting workers and placed English and Spanish posters across the Staten Island facility urging them to reject the union. In Bessemer, Amazon has made some changes to but still kept a controversial U.S. Postal Service mailbox that was key in the NLRB’s decision to invalidate last year’s vote.
Both labor fights faced unique challenges. Alabama, for instance, is a right-to-work state that prohibits a company and a union from signing a contract that requires workers to pay dues to the union that represents them.
The mostly Black workforce at the Amazon facility, which opened in 2020, mirrors the Bessemer population of more than 70% Black residents, according to the latest U.S. Census data.
Pro-union workers say they want better working conditions, longer breaks and higher wages. Regular full-time employees at the Bessemer facility earn at least $15.80 an hour, higher than the estimated $14.55 per hour on average in the city. That figure is based on an analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual median household income for Bessemer of $30,284, which could include more than one worker.
The ALU said they don’t have a demographic breakdown of the warehouse workers on Staten Island and Amazon declined to provide the information to The Associated Press, citing the union vote. Internal records leaked to The New York Times from 2019 showed more than 60% of the hourly associates at the facility were Black or Latino, while most of managers were white or Asian.
Amazon workers there are seeking longer breaks, paid time off for injured employees and an hourly wage of $30, up from a minimum of just over $18 per hour offered by the company. The estimated average wage for the borough is $41 per hour, according to a similar U.S. Census Bureau analysis of Staten Island’s $85,381 median household income.
A spokesperson for Amazon said the company invests in wages and benefits, such as health care, 401(k) plans and a prepaid college tuition program to help grow workers’ careers.
“As a company, we don’t think unions are the best answer for our employees,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “Our focus remains on working directly with our team to continue making Amazon a great place to work.”

With a volatile geopolitical landscape and inflation worries dominating price action, analyst ratings have taken a backseat in the market. Yet on Thursday, a Morgan Stanley downgrade is having a huge negative impact on shares of HP Inc HPQ, making it the PreMarket Prep Stock of the Day.
Post-Deal Price Action: On many occasions in the merger and acquisition world, it is traditional for the acquirer to decline in price after making an acquisition for a variety of reasons.
That was the case on Monday for HP Inc. when it announced the purchase of Plantronics Inc POLY for $40 per share, which was a 53% premium to its closing price on Friday, as reported on Benzinga Pro.
While it did decline on Monday by just over $1, it recouped those losses on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the issue sprinted to a new all-time high off the open but weakened to end the session in the red. As a result of the yo-yo action, the issue was right back at its closing price from Monday — the day the deal was announced.
The Ax: Before the market open Thursday, Morgan Stanley downgraded HP from Equal-Weight to Underweight. The firm attributes the downgrade to macro uncertainty contributing to a cautious outlook for hardware. As a result, there will be a reduction in PC forecasts, which will have a negative impact on first-quarter earnings, according to the analyst note.
The downgrade included a price target reduction from $34 to $31. In a related move, Barclays, which already had an Underweight rating on the issue, lowered its price target from $30 to $29.
PreMarket Prep's Take: When the issue was being covered on the show Thursday, it was trading down nearly $2 at the $37 area. Co-host Dennis Dick was astounded that the issue was off 5% from the downgrade. He commented:
“People just cannot think for themselves, and if Morgan Stanley says 'sell,' they sell,” he said. “If it gets down to $34, I may be interested in going long.
The author of this article noted the importance of holding its March 21 low ($36.72) off the open. If not, it was difficult to identify a valid support level until the previously mentioned $34 area.
HPQ Price Action: After a much lower open ($36.97 vs. $38.84), HP had a brief rally to $37.09 and resumed its move lower. Buyers stepped in way ahead of the aforementioned support level and bottom at $35.81, and the stock sharply reversed course.
The stock was down 6.1% at $36.47 late in the session.

The owner of a downtown Los Angeles building where an explosion injured 12 firefighters has been allowed to enter a judicial diversion program that allows him to avoid jail time and potentially have all charges dismissed.
A court commissioner on Wednesday granted the diversion request for Steve Sungho Lee. He and his companies must pay more than $125,000 in investigative fees, make sure the property meets fire and building codes and arranging for Fire Department training.
Lee owned a commercial building on East Boyd Street in the city’s Toy District that caught fire on May 16, 2020. Firefighters had to run for their lives when a ball of flames shot out the building and scorched a fire truck across the street.
Firefighters inside the building had to run through a wall of flames he estimated as 30 feet (9 meters) high and wide, and those on the roof scrambled down a ladder that was engulfed in fire.
Fire officials said the building was a warehouse for Smoke Tokes, a wholesale distributor of supplies for smoking and vaping products including butane hash oil, a concentrated cannabis extract that can be eaten, smoked or vaped. Highly flammable butane is used in the manufacturing process.
Most of the injured firefighters still haven’t returned to work and one, Capt. Victor Aguirre, was hospitalized for more than two months and all of his fingers had to be partially amputated, according to a lawsuit he filed against the building and business owners.
Aguirre alleged that the area contained “hundreds of illegally and improperly stored butane canisters and thousands of illegally and improperly stored nitrous oxide cylinders.”
A fire department report concluded that the blaze, which spread to a nearby building, was fueled by an “excessive quantity” of the containers.
Investigators from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives concluded that the fire started under a storage rack in the building and that a worker with a lit cigarette was seen in the area. The cause of the fire was ruled accidental.
However, city prosecutors filed more than 300 misdemeanor charges of violating fire and safety codes against Lee, his companies and owners of businesses in the building and nearby properties. That included more than 160 counts against Lee and his companies.
If Lee meets all conditions of his judicial diversion program for two years, the charges will be dismissed.
“Mr. Lee will be deemed by law to have never been charged,” said his attorney, Blair Berk. “The exhaustive federal investigation of the tragic fire objectively concluded that the cause was accidental, and there was no finding of any wrongdoing by Mr. Lee or his companies.”
City Attorney Mike Feuer opposed diversion for Lee, noting the severity of the fire, the injuries suffered by the firefighters and Lee’s alleged failure “to take steps which could have mitigated the extent of the blaze.”
The owners of Smoke Tokes and another business, Green Buddha, agreed in November 2020 to pay $139,000 each to cover investigative costs and to move out of the building. Charges against them were later dismissed. | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/owner-of-dtla-building-where-explosion-hurt-12-firefighter-avoids-jail-time/ | 2022-04-01T01:22:59Z |

Tennessee sued over residency bill that would disqualify Trump-backed candidate
Hours after Tennessee General Assembly leadership signed legislation to enact new residency requirements for congressional candidates, three Tennesseans filed a federal lawsuit alleging the requirements are unconstitutional.
Barbra Collins, Amy Dudley and Donald Sobery filed the lawsuit Thursday afternoon in federal court in Nashville, naming Tennessee and Secretary of State Trey Hargett as defendants in the lawsuit over a candidate for the 5th Congressional District.
Plaintiffs allege the bill, not yet law, would "blatantly" violate the Constitution, which outlines less stringent qualifications to qualify for U.S. House of Representatives, and prohibit the plaintiffs from voting for their preferred candidate, Morgan Ortagus.
The legislation will soon be transmitted to Gov. Bill Lee, who will have 10 days to sign the legislation, veto it or allow it to become law without his signature.
Residency bill:Tennessee legislature passes residency bill that would disqualify Trump-backed candidate
The residency requirement bill began moving through the General Assembly shortly after Ortagus gained an early endorsement from former President Donald Trump, who praised the Fox News commentator for her work at the State Department during his administration.
Some lawmakers expressed concerns the legislation would meet constitutional challenges, though sponsors said tailoring the legislation to apply to primary candidates would assuage those issues.
The contested bill, which cleared a final legislative hurdle in the House on Monday, requires three years state residency for candidates to qualify in a congressional primary election for.
"If this Provision is enforced and allowed to proceed, Ortagus would no longer be eligible to represent the Fifth Congressional District and would be required to suspend her campaign, thereby robbing Plaintiffs of the opportunity to vote for their candidate of choice in the August 4, 2022 Republican primary," the lawsuit states.
Though lawmakers never directly mentioned Ortagus, she was widely understood to be the target of the bill after announcing her candidacy just a year after relocating to Nashville from Washington D.C.
She has no political record in the state, little name recognition in the state when she announced her campaign and initially didn't live in the new-look 5th District following the General Assembly's redistricting effort that forced U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Nashville, to announce his retirement.
Secretary of State records suggest she has since moved into the new district. There is no requirement congressional candidates live in the district they seek to represent.
Ortagus's campaign on Monday did not answer a Tennessean inquiry whether she would challenge the bill, but she said she was "proud" to be part of the Nashville community.
"No one questioned my residency when I served our country in the intelligence community, the Trump Administration, nor in the U.S. Navy Reserves, and President Trump certainly didn't question my residency when he endorsed me for this seat," Ortagus said. "I continue to trust my fellow Tennesseans, the voters in the 5th district, to choose who will best represent them in Congress."
D.C. outlet Punchbowl News earlier this week reported a well-funded super PAC was expected to support a lawsuit over the bill once enacted.
The Tennessean has not yet reached the plaintiffs' law firm, Dickinson Wright, for comment.
More than a dozen Republican candidates have picked up qualifying petitions for the 5th Congressional primary, according to Secretary of State records. The new-look district includes parts of Davidson, Williamson and Wilson counties, along with rural Lewis, Maury and Marshall counties.
The petition filing deadline is April 7, several days before Lee's deadline to take action on the bill.

Former President Trump senior adviser Jared Kushner provided "helpful" information to the Democratic-led House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a member of the panel said.
Kushner, married to Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, who was also a senior adviser, is the most high profile member of Trump's inner circle known to have appeared before the committee.
He voluntarily appeared for a remote interview that started at 10 a.m. and lasted at least into the early afternoon hours, several sources familiar with the committee's work said.
Kushner's meeting came two months after the panel asked Ivanka Trump to voluntarily appear before the committee. Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said Ivanka Trump and the committee are engaged in conversations, but no final plan has been reached on her appearance.
"The expectation is that it will take place, as to when I can't tell you right now, I know we are engaging her as a committee," Thompson said on Wednesday.
Virginia Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria told NPR the conversation with Kushner was "helpful." She told MSNBC that Kushner was able to substantiate information and provide his own take on different reports on the Jan. 6 attack.
Luria said it's valuable to hear firsthand accounts from witnesses such as Kushner directly.
"I think that the committee really appreciates hearing information directly from people who have relevant facts about January 6, and the fact that Jared Kushner came as a witness is helpful to building the story of our investigation," Luria said.
One source familiar with the committee's discussions but unable to speak on the record said there were details that Kushner couldn't remember but the source noted that like other witnesses, it has been more than a year since the attack on the Capitol and it is not uncommon for some to not recall some specifics.
Kushner was traveling back from Saudi Arabia on Jan. 6, 2021, but Thompson said he believes that he could help the committee understand more about the events that led up to that day.
"We think because he was an integral part of the administration, it's, I think, important for us to find out if he knew anything about the planning before January 6 and to get it from him," Thompson said.
Thompson, who was not at House votes on Thursday and voted by proxy, had said a day earlier if Kushner's interview went well, the panel would ask for additional communication details, such as call and text message records.
Thompson had previously waved off interest in Kushner but said the committee's staff has continued to reach out to potential witnesses.
"We have an excellent staff, and staff has been actively engaging a number of witnesses, including individuals or their attorneys and Kushner's attorney will be the same," Thompson told NPR on Wednesday.
The White House on Wednesday said it had waived executive privilege claims for Kushner and Ivanka Trump, allowing them to share certain details with the panel.

Online recruitment services revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 12.0% to RMB617.7 million (US$96.9 million) compared with RMB551.6 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to an improvement in hiring sentiment, demand and activity from employers in 2021.
Other human resource related revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 19.0% to RMB727.5 million (US$114.2 million) from RMB611.5 million for the same quarter in 2020.

Cost of services for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 29.1% to RMB535.2 million (US$84.0 million) from RMB414.5 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses, headcount additions and greater direct costs, such as venue rental, media production and technology support, incurred in providing campus recruitment services to employers. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 8.2% to RMB810.0 million (US$127.1 million) from RMB748.6 million for the same quarter in 2020.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 34.3% to RMB403.6 million (US$63.3 million) from RMB300.6 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses, staff additions and greater spending on advertising and brand awareness campaigns. Advertising and promotion expenses increased 27.7% to RMB90.0 million (US$14.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2021 from RMB70.5 million for the same quarter in 2020.

The Company recognized a loss from foreign currency translation of RMB10.9 million (US$1.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with RMB33.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to the impact of the change in exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar on the Company's U.S. dollar cash deposits.
The Company recognized a mark-to-market, non-cash loss of RMB10.7 million (US$1.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with RMB9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 associated with a change in fair value of listed equity securities investment in Huali University Group Limited, which is traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Company also recognized RMB3.4 million (US$0.5 million) in professional services fees and administrative expenses related to the proposed going-private transaction in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net revenues in 2021 were RMB4,420.4 million (US$693.7 million), an increase of 19.8% from RMB3,689.0 million in 2020
Online recruitment services revenues in 2021 increased 11.6% to RMB2,396.2 million (US$376.0 million) from RMB2,147.3 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the improvement in business activity and more recruitment needs of employers in China in 2021.

Income from operations in 2021 decreased 36.4% to RMB551.3 million (US$86.5 million) from RMB867.1 million in 2020, primarily due to the significant increase in sales and marketing expenses in 2021. Operating margin was 12.5% in 2021 compared with 23.5% in 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expense, operating margin would have been 15.9% in 2021 compared with 27.4% in 2020.

Excluding share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation, and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to 51job in 2021 was RMB894.4 million (US$140.4 million) compared with RMB1,243.9 million in 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was RMB13.12 (US$2.06) in 2021 compared with RMB18.28 in 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, cash and short-term investments totaled RMB10,587.0 million (US$1,661.3 million) compared with RMB10,761.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
Currency Convenience Translation
For the convenience of readers, certain Renminbi amounts have been translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the rate of RMB6.3726 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate on December 30, 2021 in New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), 51job uses non-GAAP financial measures of income before income tax expense, income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to 51job and adjusted earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. The Company believes excluding loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect, from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation, mark-to-market gain or loss is not indicative of the Company's core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company's cash earnings. 51job also believes these non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items, are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.

By Wei Thai-Haynes
It’s 2022 and the political landscape trans people navigate is still dire: current Prime Minister Scott Morrison has recently endorsed Claire Chandler’s anti-trans ‘Save Women’s Sport Bill’ – a knee jerk response to the Religious Freedoms Bill falling apart.
Mainstream media is about the same: yesterday, on the official day of TDOV, the Herald Sun published a ‘think piece’ which amounts to little more than the same tired old rhetoric about ‘womanhood’ and how trans rights activists are somehow destroying the fabric of society.
The rest of the world is no better: US collegiate swim champion Lia Thomas continues to be subject to bigotry from media ‘commentators’, trans children have been restricted from healthcare, and parents of trans children have been ruled ‘abusers’ by recently passed Texas and Florida state laws, with Arizona not far behind following suit.
It is not enough to just stand idly by and call for recognition when lives are at stake – that is why this Saturday I will be taking to the streets with Pride in Protest to demand that we be more than just visible.
What Are We Fighting Against?
The Religious Freedoms Bill, while currently not in parliament, is far from dead: Scott Morrison and the Liberals have made no promises it won’t return post-election, and Anthony Albanese has maintained the need for ‘Religious Freedoms in Australia’ indicating Labor may well doctor up some legislation should they win the Federal Election.
What Are We Fighting For?
We’re also going on the offensive: Pride In Protest has put forward a slate of demands which call for an emboldening of unionists to get Transition Leave on the log of claims across all workplaces in Australia, call for an end to sex worker discrimination in the form of denial of service provision, housing and employment via the addition of sex workers to the anti-discrimination act, and for an end to police brutality against not just the trans community, but all communities by defunding the police.
The government has made its aims clear: it wants to paint a target on the backs of every trans person in this country. I will not sit in silence while state-endorsed bigotry works its way through the machinations of parliament, you shouldn’t too.
Join Pride In Protest this Saturday at 1pm at Town Hall, as we take to the streets to demand our rights!
Wei Thai-Haynes is a member of Pride In Protest and a current Director on the Board of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras

Mary Elaine O’Neal was born April 11, 1943, in Shamrock, Texas, to Curtis and Sarah Pauline O’Neal. Mary passed away peacefully, with her loved ones by her side, on March 28, 2022, just two weeks shy of her 79th birthday. After marrying Milton Alvin Gillespie in 1967, they started a family and a farming business, eventually building a home and settling in Bonnie View, Texas.
Mary is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Milton, her sisters Billie Jean Smith and Paula Hester, and many other special friends and loved ones. She is survived by her sister Peggy O’Neal and brother Curtis (Judy) O’Neal, both of New Braunfels, Texas, and many loving nieces and nephews, family, and friends.
Mary also leaves behind her loving children, their spouses, and her grandchildren, including her son Robert “Bobby” (Julie) Stoner of Corpus Christi, Texas, son Dean Wayne Gillespie of Deleon, Texas, daughter Donna Joann (Bill) Bright of Allen, Texas, son Mitchell Neal (Maria) Gillespie of San Antonio, Texas, and daughter Gina Michele Gillespie (Cody Graham) of Woodsboro, Texas. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Byron Wade Stoner, Zian Matthew Newcomer, Chase Matthew Bright, Emma Mae Graham, and Amelia “Millie” Mae Gillespie. She loved her kids and grandchildren fiercely and always welcomed a houseful of family with a plethora of laughs, love, and more food than any one family could ever eat.
Mary lived to serve others. She focused on taking care of her children in their formative years, always volunteering to help with her kids’ activities, bringing food for holiday parties, and shuttling her kids and their friends to and from school activities. During harvest, she could be counted on for delivering food to the men working in the fields.
Her family will desperately miss all her traits and quirks, but most notably, her contagious laugh, her forgiving nature, and her ability to just listen when we needed her the most. She was a proud Christian and loved Jesus, yet she could cut up and have a great time. She had a dry sense of humor at times and was full of wit. She wasn’t judgmental. She always understood that everyone was just doing their best.
Mary was small in stature, but she was tough. In August 2021, she was diagnosed with small-cell carcinoma and went through chemotherapy and radiation and was in remission at the time of her death. Although we will miss her every single day, we are so happy that she is reconnected in heaven with her husband, parents, sisters, and friends, and that she is out of pain and sickness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@varietygourmet.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one varietygourmet.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

AISC1 was $2,637 / A$2,799 / US$2,104 in Fiscal 2021 ($3,143 / A$3,423 / US$2,494 in Q4 2021). Total cash costs1 and AISC1 are heavily influenced by the number of ounces of gold sold and are higher than anticipated due to, among other things, a lower production base than forecast.
Adjusted earnings (losses)1 were $(52.0) million or $(0.22) per share in Fiscal 2021, and $(16.1) million or $(0.07) per share in Q4 2021. Non-cash adjustments include a gain recognized on the discontinuation of equity accounting for the Company's investment in New Found, impairment related to the Beatons Creek Project, and income tax expenses related to the movement in fair value of the Company's investment portfolio.
The Company recognized a non-cash impairment expense of $46.9 million related to the Company's Beatons Creek Project in Q4 2021 due to current uncertainty regarding the timing of the receipt of the Fresh mining approvals and Beatons Creek Project operational performance to December 31, 2021 against forecast.
The Company is committed to aggressively advancing its highly prospective exploration portfolio and devoted
$12.1 million to such efforts in Fiscal 2021.

Financial Position
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $32.5 million as at December 31, 2021, with a working capital1 balance of $3.9 million. The Company's investment portfolio balance grew by 732% from December 31, 2020 to $156.2 million3 and includes the Company's 9.13% undiluted investment in New Found (currently worth approximately $114.75 million) along with the Company's undiluted 12.6% investment (pre-financing) in unlisted Elementum 3D Inc. ("E3D"). The Company revalued its holdings in E3D in Q4 2021 from $6.6 million to $16.5 million based on E3D's ongoing financing at USD$8.00 per unit.
During Fiscal 2020, the Company determined that it exercised significant influence over New Found pursuant to IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures. On September 17, 2021, immediately subsequent to New Found's most recent annual general meeting, Novo determined that it had ceased to exercise significant influence over New Found, discontinued equity accounting, and recognized its retained interest in New Found as a marketable security at fair value resulting in a non-cash one-time gain of $85.6 million based on the difference between New Found's fair value using its share price on the date of derecognition ($7.15) and the carrying value of the investment using the equity accounting method, with certain adjustments.
The Sprott Facility remains fully drawn at USD$40 million. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount of the Sprott Facility at a rate of 8% per annum plus the greater of (i) US three-month LIBOR and (ii) 1.00%. All interest is payable in cash on a monthly basis. Principal is repayable commencing December 2022 and quarterly thereafter until September 2024 in eight equal instalments. The availability of the Sprott Facility is subject to certain conditions and covenants, including the maintenance of minimum unrestricted cash and working capital balances after certain adjustments. As at December 31, 2021 and the date of this news release, the Company is in compliance with Sprott Facility conditions and covenants, as amended or waived.
Outlook
The Company reiterates its previous production forecast for the first half of 2022 of 27 koz - 33 koz Au11, which remains influenced by close-spaced drilling and mine-to-mill reconciliation efforts and assumes receipt of requisite approvals. The Company will provide an operations performance and approvals update following completion of the first quarter of 2022.

Non-IFRS Measures
Certain non-IFRS measures have been included in this news release. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), provide readers with an improved ability to evaluate its underlying performance and to compare it to information reported by other companies. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Non-IFRS measures for Fiscal 2021 are not necessarily indicative of ongoing performance considering the Company was still ramping up operations through to September 30, 2021 and declared commercial production effective October 1, 202112.

Average Realized Price
The Company uses the average realized price per ounce of gold sold to better understand the gold price and, once applicable, cash margin realized throughout a period.
Average realized price is calculated as revenue from contracts with customers plus treatment and refinery charges included in dore revenue less silver revenue divided by gold ounces sold.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
Total Cash Costs
The Company reports total cash costs on a per gold ounce sold basis. In addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, such as revenue, the Company believes this information can be used to evaluate its performance and ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. The Company uses this metric to monitor operating cost performance.
Total cash costs include cost of sales such as mining, processing, mine general and administrative costs, royalties, selling costs, and changes in inventories less non-cash depreciation and depletion, write-down of inventories and site share-based payments where applicable, and silver revenue divided by gold ounces sold to arrive at total cash costs per ounce of gold sold. Refer to the Annual MD&A for the treatment of depreciation and depletion costs prior and subsequent to the declaration of commercial production.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
*Depreciation and depletion are reconciled to aggregate depreciation and depletion in the operating adjustments in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the Audited Financial Statements.
All-in Sustaining Costs
The Company believes that AISC more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold. AISC is calculated based on the definitions published by the World Gold Council ("WGC"). The WGC is not a regulatory organization. The Company calculates AISC as the sum of total cash costs (as described above), sustaining capital expenditures (excluding significant projects considered expansionary in nature), accretion on decommissioning and restoration provisions, treatment and refinery charges, payments on lease obligations, site share-based payments where applicable, and corporate administrative costs less any share-based payments directly attributable to exploration and non-operating payments on lease obligations, all divided by gold ounces sold during the period to arrive at a per ounce amount.
Other companies may calculate this measure differently as a result of differences in underlying principles and policies applied. Differences may also arise due to a different definition of sustaining versus expansion capital. Refer to the Annual MD&A for the treatment of depreciation and depletion costs prior and subsequent to the declaration of commercial production.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
*The non-operating payments on lease obligations adjustment includes lease amounts which are not directly related to the Company's operations at the Beatons Creek Project. This figure is not separately disclosed in the Audited Financial Statements.
**Share-based payment expenses directly attributable to the Company's exploration staff are excluded from the calculation of AISC. This figure is not separately disclosed in the Audited Financial Statements and is a subset of the share-based payments expense outlined in Note 20 of the Audited Financial Statements.
EBITDA
The Company uses EBITDA to better understand its ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures.
EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest and finance expense, interest and finance income, current income tax expense, deferred income tax expense, depreciation and depletion. EBITDA is also adjusted for non-recurring transactions such as the change in fair value of derivative instruments, foreign exchanges gains and losses, gains and losses on the disposal of assets, impairment, and other income. Refer to the Annual MD&A for the treatment of depreciation and depletion costs prior and subsequent to the declaration of commercial production.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
*Depreciation and depletion is reconciled to aggregate depreciation and depletion in the operating adjustments in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the Audited Financial Statements.
Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
The Company uses adjusted earnings and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share to measure its underlying operating and financial performance.
Adjusted earnings are defined as net earnings adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company's underlying operations, including: foreign exchange (gain) loss, (gain) loss on financial instruments at fair value, impairment, and non-recurring gains and losses on treatment of marketable securities, sale of E&E assets, and associated tax impacts. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding under the basic and diluted method of earnings per share as determined under IFRS. Refer to the Annual MD&A for the treatment of depreciation and depletion costs prior and subsequent to the declaration of commercial production.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
Available Liquidity
The Company believes that available liquidity provides an accurate measure of the Company's ability to liquidate assets in order to satisfy its liabilities. The Company uses this metric to help monitor its risk profile.
Available liquidity includes cash, short-term investments, and assets which are readily saleable within the next 12 months, including gold in circuit and stockpiles, receivables, marketable securities (to the extent that an established market exists for such marketable securities, they are free of any long-term trading restrictions, and sufficient historical volume exists to liquidate holdings within 12 months), and gold specimens. The market value of certain marketable securities has been used in the calculation of available liquidity which may not reconcile to the accounting treatment of such marketable securities. Refer to the Annual MD&A and Notes 5 and 11 of the Audited Financial Statements.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
*Some of the Company's New Found shares remain subject to escrow restrictions pursuant to National Instrument 46-201 Escrow for Initial Public Offerings. As at December 31, 2021, 6,000,000 of the Company's 15,000,000 New Found shares had been released from escrow. The Company's remaining 9,000,000 New Found shares will be released from escrow semi-annually, with 2,250,000 New Found Shares being released in February and August of each year. As at March 31, 2022, 8,250,000 New Found Shares had been released from escrow.
*As at December 31, 2020, 1,500,000 of the Company's 15,000,000 New Found shares had been released from escrow. Refer to the preceding table for further details.
Working Capital
Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities and is used to monitor the Company's liquidity.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
Sprott Facility Adjusted Working Capital
Sprott Facility adjusted working capital is a derivation of working capital with a series of adjustments as permitted pursuant to the Sprott Facility. The Company uses Sprott Facility adjusted working capital to monitor its compliance against certain covenants within the Sprott Facility.
The following table reconciles this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the Annual MD&A and Audited Financial Statements.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The decision by the Company to produce at the Beatons Creek Project was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and, as a result, there is an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Production has not achieved forecast to date. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow and future profitability.
The Company cautions that its declaration of commercial production effective October 1, 202112 only indicates that the Beatons Creek project was operating at anticipated and sustainable levels and it does not indicate that economic results will be realized.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Nevada officials have located the body of missing 18-year-old Naomi Irion in a remote part of Churchill County, according to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office.
Her body was discovered Tuesday in what deputies described as a remote gravesite. It was transported to the Washoe County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy, officials said, where Irion’s identity was confirmed on Wednesday.
Deputies said a tip led them to the remote area.
Irion was last seen around 5 a.m. on March 12 walking through a Walmart parking lot in Fernley, about 400 miles northwest of Las Vegas and 35 miles east of Reno.
Surveillance video from that day shows Irion in a parking lot, waiting in her car for a shuttle to pick her up. Troy Driver, 41, was also seen walking around the lot while Irion was there, according to NewsNation.
Diana Irion, Naomi’s mother, told NewsNation her family has seen a longer cut of that video that shows Driver approaching Naomi’s driver’s side door and getting in without a struggle.
Irion’s car was found three days later at a nearby paint production plant.
Authorities arrested Driver last week, charging him with first-degree kidnapping.
Earlier in the day Wednesday, a judge set a $750,000 bond for Driver, NewsNation reports. Prosecutors filed documents alleging Driver kidnapped Irion for the purpose of sexually assaulting or killing the woman.
Irion, a diplomat’s daughter, moved to the U.S. from South Africa in August to gain independence and save up for a place of her own, her family said. | https://www.kget.com/national-news/body-of-missing-nevada-18-year-old-found-two-weeks-after-disappearance/ | 2022-04-01T01:23:05Z |
