Lafer S/A, an important Brazilian furniture company founded in 1927, also produced, for almost two decades, a highly successful automobile in the country, the MP Lafer. The car, which was initially named the MGT 1973, was designed by Percyval Lafer, one of the three brothers who owned the company, as a natural outcome of the diversification process that the company was going through. As Percyval once revealed, it was a logical choice: “we have a tapestry, we produce fiberglass, foam and metal structures; why not car bodies?” (In addition to furniture, Lafer produced plastic pieces reinforced with fiberglass, such as “orelhões”; Portuguese for big ears, they were Brazilian public telephone booths that had a shape similar to a giant ear; for telephone companies, for example).
The MP was a replica of the English MG T-type sports car, more specifically the MG TD Midget produced from 1950 to 1953. The MP Lafer was the first replica manufactured in the country on an industrial scale. Mounted on the Volkswagen Beetle’s platform and with a plastic and fiberglass body, the MP was shown to the public for the first time at the VIII Motor Show, in 1972. The following year, demonstrating its intention to export the new car, Lafer took it to its first international exhibition, at the Brazil Export fair, in Brussels.
Small-scale manufacturing began in May 1974, in São Bernardo do Campo (SP). As it became almost universal in the small Brazilian industry of off-the-shelf cars, therefore, in this case too, the new model used the well-known air-cooled rear-engine VW mechanics as a basis. The first series of the MP received the 1500 air-cooled engine from the Beetle, simple carburetion and 52 hp. In addition to the traditional VW suspension, using torsion bars, however, unlike the Beetle, the MP used disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear.
The use of the rear engine prevented the MP to be a truly faithful replica; on the contrary, it required the design of a new body, freely inspired by the MG. As the Beetle platform did not undergo any type of adaptation or cutting, the body was also wider than the English original. The trunk was moved to the front, housing the spare tire, and in the first units the fuel tank nozzle was placed on the false radiator cover, causing confusion among gas station attendants at the time.
In a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution, the engine ventilation was provided through a rear grille, with the same design as the car's wheels, giving the false impression of being the spare tire; The rear lights were the same as the Beetle. It had a canvas roof and, like the English original, suicide doors, a folding windshield and detachable side windows (which were difficult to operate: unlike the MG's plastic curtains, they were made of glass, much heavier and without a lifting mechanism).
The interior was good, but the quality and precision of the dashboard instruments were insufficient. The cockpit maintained the MG style, with an almost vertical steering wheel, but more comfortable. Despite the radial tires and magnesium wheels which were optional, the performance was anything but sporty and the unfavorable weight ratio (41% at the front and 59% at the rear) did not help stability or braking, which tended to lock the front wheels.
The IX Motor Show, in 1974, brought few but important new features to the MP: the car gained a new dashboard, more complete and higher quality gauge cluster, doors that opened the normal way, a removable rigid roof and most importantly, a new engine: the 1600 cc engine from the VW Brasília, with its 60 hp, the performance had a slight improvement compared to the previous engine, the maximum speed finally exceeding 120 km/h or 74.5 mph (it reached 124.4 km/h or 77.3 mph, with the roof closed, versus the 117 km/h or 72.7 mph of the previous model); fuel consumption, stability and brakes, however, remained weak points.
The MP aroused great market interest. In April 1976, the 600th unit of the car was manufactured, which was already being exported to the USA, Japan and several other countries, complete or in the form of kits. This success sparked competition, causing the emergence of identical replicas, but often without the same construction quality and attention to detail. Lafer therefore had more reasons to improve its car, which in the same year gained double carburetion leading the engine to develop 65 hp. In addition, externally it received new, longer, two-color taillights, abandoning the previous Beetle lights; Internally, it gained a new sporty steering wheel that had a wooden rim. With the new engine, the MP's consumption and performance finally managed to improve considerably, with the car's top speed reaching 129.4 km/h or 80.4 mph, almost the same as the car that served as its inspiration, the MG- TD.
After a year of declining sales, 1978 began with a new model, the MP TI, a variant of the replica aimed at younger people. Maintaining the same VW 1600 mechanics, the TI was completely chrome-free (except for the wheel rims and the engine cooling grille), replacing the shine of the headlights, lanterns and windshield frame with matte black paint. The metallic bumpers were also replaced by fiberglass ones, also black, but with a very heavy design, at odds with the delicate lines of the car. The interior was also slightly changed, receiving reclining seats, a black dashboard and green windows. The suspension was lowered, improving stability.
At the XI Motor Show, that same year, the TI was modified again, making the whole thing much lighter and more pleasant: the finishing details, previously painted black, started to receive the same color as the body, including the wide bumpers. , which gained claws and a central rubber strip. The false grille was redesigned, moving further away from the original MG, also losing the chrome and receiving the same color as the body. The series of side recesses on the hood, which imitated engine air outlets, were eliminated. The magnesium wheels also had their design changed and started to be painted in the car's colors. The new TI was equipped with two circular bi-iodine headlights and two square fog lights.
The beginning of the 1980s was troubled for Lafer, which ended up filing for bankruptcy in March 1981, as a result of the drop in internal and external sales of its main business, which was the furniture industry, as a result of the rise in raw material prices, the at the same time reducing international competitiveness and the internal market. As a way of taking advantage of part of the idle capacity in the plastic molding sector, the company started to produce airfoils and fairings for truck cabins, accessories to reduce turbulence in trucks and trailers. The products were exhibited at II Transpo, in 1980. The crisis also affected its automobiles, especially in 1982, the year in which, until the month of September, only 95 units had been sold, compared to 600 in 1980. Slowly, however, The country's economic situation improved and, consequently, so did Lafer's situation.
At the end of 1983, the TI would undergo yet another style update, moving it further away from its British inspiration, but also from the foreign market, which preferred the classic look of the standard MP. This false grille was eliminated, replaced by a fiber piece with an almost smooth surface and two diagonal ribs, with the octagonal logo moved to the top left corner; To top it off, the model gained rectangular headlights, instead of the traditional round ones. The car actually became much more “modern”; however, with so many modifications, it definitely moved away from the “replica” category.
In 1986, seeking to recover the attractiveness of its cars, making them truly sporty (which would necessarily imply abandoning the air-cooled VW engine), Lafer prepared a prototype with a front engine; this was a realistic replica, at par with the old ones. MG Presented it with the name MP-TX, it used the modern VW AP 1.8 engine (vertical, four cylinders in line, water-cooled), mounted at the front; In an advanced proposal, the gearbox was transferred to the rear, coupled to the differential, optimizing weight distribution across the two axles. With the exception of the rigid fiber roof, nothing differentiated it from the MP-TD. The complexity of the project, however, discouraged its industrialization, unfortunately.
The TD and TI models continued to be produced normally until 1990, when the country's opening to car imports, determined by President’s Collor government, dealt a mortal blow to small national manufacturers. For Lafer, whose main business was not manufacturing cars, perhaps the decision to end production was less painful than for others.
In almost 17 years, around 4300 cars were built, more than a thousand of them exported to more than three dozen countries. The molds for the MP's fiberglass bodies were buried on the factory grounds, in São Bernardo do Campo, where they still lie today, under the foundations of a large supermarket.
Fun Fact: The MP Lafer appeared in the 1979, 007 movie Moonraker when James Bond visits Brazil.
In the plot, the British agent comes to Brazil to investigate a parallel connection of a powerful aerospace industry tycoon, suspected of having the objective of world domination. When James Bond disembarks in Rio de Janeiro and heads from the airport to his hotel, he realizes that he is being followed by a beautiful Latin American spy who is the one driving the MP Lafer. Although the car wasn't featured for long it did leave an impression.
But a mystery arises as, after the end of the recordings, the 1978 MP Lafer supplied by the factory returned discreetly to São Bernardo do Campo, underwent a review and was sold normally with no mentions of it being used in the movie. Meaning no one knows its whereabouts or if it's even still running. Imagine what it would be worth if it was found today.

2024.06.05 00:17 EnvironmentalJury582 Child support modification

I divorced my son’s father in 2019. A child support order was put in place, but he did not pay it monthly. I filed for the child support to be garnished from his wages in 2021. He owes about 7,000 in back child support. Due to the crime and my car being stolen in the city I lived, I moved to a rural area last year. I interviewed for local jobs and was not able to get one here. Since July of last year I have been unemployed but I clean Airbnb’s. It comes out to less than minimum wage. Last month I filed to modify child support and the modification was granted with an increase of 200 a month. My ex husband objected to the change, and now we are going to have a telephone hearing with a hearing officer. What happens in these hearings? I’m assuming he objected because I am remarried and my husband works. I also homeschool our son, which my ex agreed to. So he knows I do not have a full time job. At the hearing, can they force me to seek full time employment in the next city which is over an hour away? Do I need to provide proof beyond my tax returns that the modification is warranted? Thank you

Machine Man was the last of a group of robots built by the US military for a secret weapons project. Raised like a son by one of the project leads, Dr. Abel Stack, Machine Man was thrust into a world not ready to accept him when Abel sacrificed his life to remove a built-in self destruct chip meant as a failsafe. Despite the government's persecution of his existence, he would become a superhero and honorary member of the Avengers, saving the lives of people no matter if they viewed him as a man or merely a machine.

2024.06.03 12:23 Letheee Pompe à chaleur et copropriété /syndic

Bonjour,
J'ai fini par apprendre (après plusieurs années) que mon appartement était classé F, selon le proprio, car je n'ai jamais eu de DPE, même périmé. À force de râler sur l'inchauffabilité du truc, (et j'imagine, grâce aux annonces gouvernementales sur les passoires énergétiques), il a été décidé que des travaux d'isolations seraient faits. Après une longue attente, j'ai fini par bénéficier de l'installation d'une pompe à chaleur cet hiver. Sauf qu'elle va être enlevée, mise en demeure par le syndic, pour des raisons d'uniformité des façades.
Elle est pourtant simplement posée sur mon balcon, pas fixée au mur. La seule modification apportée à la facade est la pose d'une goulotte en pvc pour cacher les tuyaux, qui court une trentaine de 30 cm au dessus du sol du balcon, puis tourne pour pouvoir remonter le lond des montants de ma porte fenêtre, en pvc elle aussi, ton sur ton donc. Les tuyaux sont visibles sur une quizaine de cm, au niveau du tournant. (oui, ça aurait été bien que les tuyaux soient entièrement cachés, mais le proprio et l'artisan m'ont dit qu'ils repasseraient pour s'en occuper, lorsqu'ils sont partis, il y a 6 mois environ, j'attends toujours.) Edit :je viens de vérifier, il n'y a même pas de trou dans la façade, les tuyaux passent dans les montants de la porte-fenêtre.
Je l'aime très très fort et je veux la garder, j'ai enfin pu passer un bout d'hiver moins humide et au chaud sans exploser ma facture EDF grâce à elle.
Je trouve le prétexte fort de café, car il y a plein de tubes (anciennes canalisations de gaz, évacuation d'eaux usées) et câbles (électriques, anciens câbles d'antenne/telephone, internet, qui circulent voire qui pendouillent sur les facades en question.
Qu'est-ce que je peux faire (ou mon proprio, il est malade et ça ne l'aide pas à réagir vite) pour garder la P. A. C., s'il vous plaît ?

However, make sure you have a bit of extra room, as the width measures up to 47mm. Don't worry about depth or height though, they're quite compact at 70mm x 25mm.
Despite being powerful little protectors, they're quite easy to install and maintain. The unit comes with IP55 degree of protection, which means you don't have to worry about it getting wet from a splash of liquid. It also has a pretty nifty mounting type, making it easy to pop in wherever needed.

In conclusion, the APC ProtectNet has been a trustworthy companion in protecting my device from potential damage caused by power surges. Its sleek design and advanced features allow for a seamless integration into my existing setup, while its few drawbacks are minor compared to its overall effectiveness.

🔗APC SurgeArrest 3-Phase Surge Suppressor with Surge Counter

https://preview.redd.it/8jtexvwqg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=976815456d27d956ec067856d0d5ef8aeb947aaf
Apologize to the tech gods, the SurgerArrest 3-Phase Surge Suppressor from APC is here to save our sensitive electronics. I've been using it daily for a couple of weeks, and I must say, this is one heck of a device.
One of the first things I noticed was the Protection Working Indicator. It's a small, reassuring light that keeps me calm knowing my data is being well-protected against all those invisible electric dangers lurking around the corner. This device has made me more aware of the potential risks my electronics face on a daily basis. Just think how many devices in our daily lives could use a product like this!
Then there's the Surge Counter. It's a simple mechanism that counts how many times it's stopped an electrical surge, giving me a tangible measure of how hard it's working to keep my electronics safe. It's like an invisible knight in digital armor, silently standing guard over my data, ready for action whenever needed.
However, it's also the features I can't see that got me excited. For example, the APC SurgeArrest 3-Phase has a NEMA 312 enclosure, which means it's designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. And don't forget the Thermal Overload Protection. It's like having a built-in thermal safety valve that releases heat build-up before it can cause a damaging fire.

Okay I’m gonna keep it a buck that probably sounds stupid to a lot of you but I am diagnosed with several severe disabling mental illnesses that make it almost impossible to hold down a job. I’m on a lot of medication but a lot of times it ain’t enough so I self medicate with booze. Long story short I held a job for just a little over a year. (First time in my entire life) in 2020 but their was a catch, the only way I could perform the job was if I got blackout drunk I’m not talking a couple of beers with breakfast I’m talking 10 shots of Vodka before a shift so I could even show up to work and then on my lunch break hit up the bar to keep myself going. I was easily dropping $100 a day just on drinking to go to work. Now the SSA stuck me with this Work history packet and I got to the section where it asks about disability related expenses for work. I don’t see why not alcohol was the only reason I could put on a straight face for 10 hours and not do something crazy. Substance abuse/co-occurring disorder are noted in my diagnosis so the SSA knows I drink. That job put me at above SGA but honestly I was breaking even with all the alcohol I needed to function. It eventually fizzled out because my drinking had made it impossible to function and COVID was coming to an end so I didn’t have masks to cover my scent. All in all I think I would’ve done better if I hadn’t even attempted to work it sure got me nowhere. But what do you guys think will they accept that?

2024.05.17 19:18 GM-official-tech The C Programming Language

The history of the C programming language is rich and influential, playing a crucial role in the development of modern computing. Here's an overview of its evolution:

1. Origins and Development

1969-1973: Creation at Bell Labs

Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson developed C at Bell Labs (Bell Telephone Laboratories) in the early 1970s. It was created as a system programming language for the emerging Unix operating system.
C was influenced by an earlier language called B, which was written by Ken Thompson as a revision of the BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) developed by Martin Richards.
The key motivations for creating C were to provide a high-level language that could still perform low-level operations and offer portability across different machines. C was designed to be closer to assembly language, providing precise control over memory and system resources.

1972: First Version of C

The initial version of C was used in 1972 on a DEC PDP-11 computer. Early versions of Unix were rewritten in C, showcasing its utility and efficiency.

2. Standardization and Spread

1978: The C Programming Language

Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie published "The C Programming Language," often referred to as K&R C. This book became the definitive guide to C and introduced many to the language.
The book set a de facto standard for C, outlining syntax, semantics, and best practices.

1983: ANSI C Standardization

In 1983, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) formed a committee to create a standardized version of C. This was in response to the proliferation of different dialects and the need for consistency.
1989: ANSI C Standard (C89)
- The ANSI C standard was ratified in 1989. This standard is also known as C89. It established a consistent language definition and a standard library.

1990: ISO Adoption

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) adopted ANSI C with minor modifications, publishing it as ISO/IEC 9899:1990, commonly referred to as C90.

3. Subsequent Revisions and Enhancements

1999: C99 Standard

The C99 standard introduced several new features to the language, such as:
- Inline functions
- Variable-length arrays
- Improved support for IEEE floating-point arithmetic
- New data types like long long int and boolean

2011: C11 Standard

The C11 standard focused on improving compatibility with C++ and introducing new features, including:
- Multithreading support
- Enhanced Unicode support
- Improved type generic macros
- Atomic operations

2018: C18 Standard

The C18 standard primarily included minor bug fixes and improvements over C11. It did not introduce significant new features but aimed to clarify and improve the existing specification.

4. Influence and Legacy

C has had a profound impact on many subsequent programming languages, such as:

C++: Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s as an extension of C to support object-oriented programming.
Objective-C: Created in the early 1980s by Brad Cox and Tom Love, combining C with Smalltalk-style messaging.
Java: Influenced by C syntax and semantics, though it incorporates a more extensive runtime and automatic memory management.
C#: Developed by Microsoft, with syntax and concepts that draw heavily from C and C++.

5. Current Status

Today, C remains one of the most widely used programming languages. Its influence is seen in system programming, embedded systems, and various application domains. Its efficiency, simplicity, and flexibility ensure its continued relevance and importance in the software development world

2024.05.15 23:50 GoldRoyalty Gold Royalty Reports First Quarter 2024 Results; Record Revenue Drives Positive Operating Cash Flow

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 13, 2024 – Gold Royalty Corp. (“Gold Royalty” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: GROY) is pleased to announce the filing of its operating and financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
David Garofalo, Chairman and CEO of Gold Royalty, commented: “We are proud to have delivered on another growth milestone in the first quarter, generating positive operating cash flow for the first time. Our recent acquisitions, royalty generator model, and existing flagship royalties fueled our record revenue this quarter. We also continued to lower our cost profile compared to the prior year. With the gold price near all-time highs and the ramp up of the Côté Gold Mine in the second half of 2024, we expect to see continued royalty revenue growth through the remainder of the year.
Our peer-leading long-term growth outlook and fundamentals continue to improve, driven primarily by Agnico Eagle’s long-life large-scale Odyssey Mine, where underground development is ahead of expectations, Nevada Gold Mine’s REN deposit which continues to be advanced towards production later this decade, and at Aura’s Borborema gold project where production is expected by early next year."
First Quarter 2024 Results Summary:
The following table sets forth selected financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
https://preview.redd.it/qtty4bhkun0d1.png?width=856&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c1a7533f5967102336110b5f16586180bf80319
(1) Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest, Cash Operating Expenses, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted and Total GEOs are each non-IFRS measures and do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. See "Non-IFRS Measures" for further information.
For further detailed information, please refer to the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024, copies of which are available under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov.
First Quarter 2024 Highlights:

Record quarterly revenue of $2.9 million and record Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest of $4.2 million (2,019 GEOs), which was 112% higher than the same period of 2023. Record quarterly revenue was driven by the first full quarter of revenue from the recently acquired interests in the Borborema project, royalty payments under the recently acquired Cozamin royalty interest and increased revenue from Canadian Malartic and land agreement proceeds.
Achieved its first quarter of positive cash flows from operations of $0.3 million, which does not include an additional $1.1 million of land agreement proceeds credited against mineral properties.
Cost management initiatives resulted in a continued decrease in Cash Operating Expenses. Cash Operating Expenses decreased by 10% to $2.3 million from $2.5 million in the same period of 2023.
Continued advancement at key development stage assets, including first gold pour at the Côté Gold Mine, underground shaft and ramp development ahead of schedule at the Odyssey Mine, and construction at the Borborema project on track for production in early 2025.
Forged a strategic alliance with Taurus Mining Royalty Fund L.P. which expands the Company’s deal origination and identification in addition to improving its ability to compete for larger high-quality investments.

Portfolio Update
Odyssey Mine (3.0% NSR over the northern portion of the mine): Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") owns and operates the Canadian Malartic Complex that is one of the world’s largest gold mining operations and is comprised of the open-pit Canadian Malartic mine and the underground Odyssey mine. The Canadian Malartic complex will progressively transition from open pit to underground mining between 2023 and 2028.
On April 25, 2024, Agnico Eagle announced its first quarter 2024 results, including an update that construction at the Odyssey mine is progressing well. Ramp development continued to exceed Agnico Eagle’s target and shaft sinking improved during the quarter. The shaft is expected to provide hoisting capacity by mid-2025, six months earlier than previously planned and will provide added development and production flexibility. As at March 31, 2024 the shaft has reached a depth of approximately 452 meters and Agnico Eagle expects to complete excavation of the shaft in 2027.
Agnico Eagle further outlined a summary of its first quarter operating results at the Odyssey mine. At the Barnat pit, good equipment availability and productivity, drove solid operational performance despite challenging weather conditions. At Odyssey South, the mining rate and production were slightly below plan at approximately 3,300 tpd and 17,700 ounces of gold, respectively. The underground operations are expected to gain additional flexibility in the second quarter of 2024, with the start of a second mining front and the addition of four 65 tonnes haulage trucks. Stope reconciliation at Odyssey South remains positive, primarily from the contribution of the internal zones, which resulted in approximately 16% more gold ounces produced than anticipated.
For further information see Agnico Eagle’s news release dated April 25, 2024, available under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
Côté Gold Mine (0.75% NSR royalty over the southern portion of the mine): On March 31, 2024, IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD”) announced the first gold pour at the Côté Gold Mine. It stated that its next step is to focus on ramp-up towards commercial production in the third quarter of 2024, with the goal of achieving a 90% throughput rate at year end. IAMGOLD maintained its production guidance for the project for the year at 220,000 to 290,000 ounces of gold (100% basis), assuming the remaining milestones are achieved.
For further information see IAMGOLD’s news release dated March 31, 2024, available under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
Borborema Gold Project (2.0% NSR royalty and gold-linked royalty-convertible loan): On May 7, 2024, Aura Minerals Inc. (“Aura”) announced its first quarter 2024 results including an update on construction at the Borborema project. Following commencement of construction in the third quarter of 2023, Aura announced that construction is well underway with 25% completed to date, and production expected to start in early 2025. Gold Royalty expects to receive 1,440 GEOs in 2024 from Aura through fixed pre-production payments associated with the 2.0% NSR royalty and gold-linked coupon payments associated with the gold-linked royalty-convertible loan.
For further information see Aura’s news release dated May 7, 2024, available under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
Ren Project (1.5% NSR royalty and 3.5% NPI): In its management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) highlighted continued exploration success at the Ren deposit. The step-out surface drilling program intercepted the targeted Corona dike at a depth of approximately 900 meters downhole and returned 4.7 meters at 24.90 g/t Au, which it stated confirmed the continuity of high-grade mineralization and paving the way for underground platform development in the future to convert more material to the west.
In its management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024, Barrick included an update on growth and exploration projects. At Carlin, underground conversion drilling commenced across all sites in the first quarter, with step-out growth drilling expected to commence early in the second quarter at a few key project areas.
For further information see Barrick’s management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023 and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024, each available under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
Granite Creek Mine Project (10.0% NPI): On February 7, 2024, i-80 Gold Corp (“i-80”) provided a summary of 2023 activities and 2024 exploration and development plans, including ongoing initiatives at the Granite Creek Mine Project. The South Pacific Zone (“SPZ”) is a priority area of development for i-80 and, and they have announced plans to advance a development plan that will include extending a decline in order to provide access to the SPZ allowing it to become part of Granite Creek mine plan in H1-2024. Ewan Downie, CEO of i-80 stated, “The results from our 2023 definition programs demonstrate the potential for the SPZ to be a significant deposit located on strike from one of North America’s largest gold mining operations. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike to the north with the average intercept grade in the northern extension definition program of approximately 15 g/t gold with true widths ranging up to 15 metres.”
i-80 also announced on May 7, 2024 that the work being conducted in 2024 at Granite Creek is expected to include definition and expansion drilling, underground development and test mining of the South Pacific Zone, and a Feasibility Study.
For further information see i-80’s news releases dated February 7, 2024 and May 7, 2024, available under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
Cozamin Mine (1.0% NSR over a portion of the mine): On January 24, 2024, Capstone Copper Corp. (“Capstone”) reported 2023 production and 2024 guidance. Production from Cozamin in 2024 is anticipated by Capstone to be similar to 2023 at 22,000 to 24,000 tonnes of copper on a 100% basis. Operating costs in 2024 are forecasted by Capstone to be higher than those in 2023 driven by a higher proportion of cut-and-fill mining methods compared to longhole stoping, along with a stronger Mexican peso.
On May 2, 2024, Capstone announced its first quarter 2024 results which outlined that first quarter 2024 production was 15% higher than the first quarter 2023 due to higher grades consistent with the mine plan.
For further information see Capstone’s news releases dated January 24, 2024 and May 2, 2024 available under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
Royalty Generator Model Update
Our Royalty Generator Model continues to generate positive results with one new royalty added in the three months ended March 31, 2024. We have generated 40 royalties since the acquisition of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. in 2021 through this model.
We currently have 31 properties subject to land agreements and 6 properties under lease generating land agreement proceeds. The model continues to incur low operating costs with only $0.002 million spent on maintaining the mineral interests in the first quarter of 2024.
2024 Outlook
The Company remains on track to meet its previously disclosed forecast of between approximately 5,000 and 5,600 GEOs in 2024 which equates to approximately $10.0 million to $11.2 million in Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest at a gold price of $2,000 per ounce. This would represent a midpoint increase in GEOs of approximately 100% relative to 2023.
The Company’s recurring Cash Operating Expenses are currently expected to be consistent with 2023 and the Company expects to achieve positive operating cash flow in 2024 when a number of its growth projects ramp up in production, including the long-life cornerstone mines at Côté and Odyssey and a full year of cash inflows from the recently acquired Cozamin and Borborema royalties.
The 2024 outlook regarding total GEOs is based on public forecasts, expected development timelines and other disclosure by the owners and operators of the properties underlying our interests and our assessment thereof.
Investor Webcast
An investor webcast will be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 starting at 11:00 am ET (8:00 am PT) to discuss these results. Management will be providing an update to interested stakeholders on the Company’s quarterly results including key recent catalysts that have been announced on the assets underlying the Company’s royalties.

Non-IFRS Measures
The Company has included in this document, certain performance measures, including: (i) Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share; (ii) total GEOs; (iii) Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest; and (iv) Cash Operating Expenses which are each non-IFRS measures. The presentation of such non-IFRS measures is 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 non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently.
Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share
Adjusted Net Loss is calculated by adding back land agreement proceeds credited against mineral properties, loan interest earned on the gold-linked loan, convertible debentures-accretion, transaction related and non-recurring general administrative expenses* and share of loss and deducting the following from net loss: dilution income in associate, changes in fair value of derivative liabilities, embedded derivatives, short-term investments and gold-linked loan, gain on loan modification, foreign exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense). Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted have been determined by dividing the Adjusted Net Loss by the weighted average number of common shares for the applicable period. Management believes that they are useful measures of performance as they adjust for items which are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of our business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The following is a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted Net Loss, Per Share, basic and diluted for the periods indicated:

* Transaction related, and non-recurring general administrative expenses comprised of operating expenses that are not expected to be incurred on an ongoing basis. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, transaction related and non-recurring professional fees related to select project evaluation costs and post- closing activities relating the issuance of the Company's outstanding convertible debentures.
Total GEOs
Total GEOs are determined by dividing Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest by the average gold prices for the applicable period:

2024.05.09 13:34 sfcable-inc All Types of Ethernet Cables: Explained!

types of ethernet cables
Everyone loves a good, neat workspace: no cables in sight, a singular computer with a pretty little keyboard, and a piece of barely noticeable output equipment for sound. Or a laptop. People appreciate and rely on wireless connections. It's difficult to buy any tech that is not enabled for wireless connectivity. But there was a time, many moons ago, when wired connections were the new kids on the block. If you wanted to connect to the internet, you had to plug it in via a cable, called an Ethernet cable.
Let me take you back in time and introduce you to Ethernet cables.
Ethernet cables are a common type of network cable used with wired networks. They help connect your device (computer, tablet, or gaming console) to a network. This, in turn, connects you to the internet and allows you to interact with resources that share the network.
Contrary to popular belief, ethernet network cables are not a thing of the past; they are very much in vogue today. Wireless connections are not infallible. WiFi can get spotty and disappear if you take one step out of range. That’s not to say that wired connections are the best because they are also limited by the length of the cable and durability. If the cable is of poor quality or too long, it is unable to carry a good signal.
Now, there are numerous types of ethernet cables, based on what they are used for. Let’s take a look at them.
When one comes across the different types of ethernet cables, they find one word being used everywhere: Cat. What is “Cat”? Simply put, Cat means category. “Cat” is always followed by a number. This number implies the specific version supported by that cable. The standard rule here is that the higher the number, the faster the speed and higher the frequencies, all measured in megahertz (MHz). The advanced number could also indicate steadier performance.

Following are the different types of Cats:

Cat 1

Cat1s are unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables that are most commonly used for telephone systems in offices and homes. It consists of two insulated copper wires that are twisted around each other and are designed for analog voice communications.

Cat 2

Cat2 cables are capable of voice as well as data communications. They were originally used during the 1980s for IBM Token Ring networks. They were able to support a data transmission rate of up to 4 Mbps.

Cat 3

Cat3 cables have four twisted pairs and were the first to support 10BaseT Ethernet networks, along with digital voice transmissions.

Cat 4

Cat4 cables consisted of eight copper wires that were arranged in four unshielded twisted pairs, which supported signals up to 20 MHz. They were used in telephone networks that transmitted voice and data.

Cat 5

Cat5 cables are network cables that consist of four twisted pairs of copper wires that end with an RJ-45 connector. They are also known as Ethernet cables or LAN cables. These are used in homes and businesses as they provide transmission speeds of upto 100 Mbps.
The above-mentioned cables are not used much these days. You may find them in old establishments where they either do not need to modify them or the cost of the modifications far exceed the requirements.

Cat 5e

These are the enhanced versions of the Cat5. That’s what the “e” stands for. You won’t find any physical differences between the Cat5 and Cat5e. Manufacturers built the Cat5e cables under more rigorous testing conditions so as to eliminate unwanted signal transfers between different communication channels. Cat5e ethernet cables are the most commonly used cables these days because of their low production cost.

Cat 6

The Cat 6 ethernet cables support a higher bandwidth than the Cat5 and Cat5e. These cables are tightly wound and generally furnished with foil or braided shielding. This shielding protects the cables inside the ethernet cable, preventing crosstalk (unwanted signal transfers between different communication channels) and noise interference. These cables provide speeds up to 10Gbps, which obviously comes at a price, as they are more expensive than Cat5 and Cat5e cables.

Cat 6a

The “a” in Cat6a means “augmented.” These cables are a step above the Cat6 cables as they support twice the maximum bandwidth. Additionally, they are capable of keeping up higher transmission speeds over a long cable length. Cat6a cables are shielded, and the sheathing is made up of a thick material that cancels out crosstalk, which makes for a denser cable that is less flexible than Cat6.

Cat 7

Cat7 cables support higher frequencies of signals than Cat5e and Cat6 cables. They are shielded twisted pairs that are used in high-speed ethernet-based networks of 1 Gbps and higher between directly connected servers, computer networks, and switches. These cables can reach up to 100 Gbps. They use modified GigaGate45 connectors, which are backward compatible with RJ45 ethernet ports. The GG45 connectors are proprietary items, so most manufacturers avoid them, making them rare today.

Cat 7a

Cat7a is the highest specification ethernet cable money can buy. The only snag is that they are not easily available, in addition to only supporting a few networking hardware options. They were designed to support 40 GB ethernet connections, similar to the Cat7, but with improved overall bandwidth. This improvement was very useful, but they are more expensive than any other cable out there.

Cat 8

The Cat 8 ethernet cables guarantee a maximum frequency of 2000MHz and speeds upto 40 Gbps. This kind of high frequency requires shielding. Cat 8 cables support two connectors. This allows for three connected cables with a linked length of 30 meters. They do cost more than other options, but they have become economical nowadays. Read Cat 7 vs Cat 8 Ethernet cable for more information.
All in all, your requirements will decide which one you should get. SF Cable stocks them all so you can take a look at all of them and contact us if you have any questions.

2024.04.30 06:06 wandermelon Never notified of child support modification objection hearing. I apparently don't need to attend. Is this normal?

I'm the custodial parent and I applied for a modification last spring. My ex moved states (into Ohio) and I'm in another state. He got a new higher paying job and it has been 3 years since we initially established a support order. Currently getting 500$ a month for one child. He sees them every other weekend equalling 2-4 nights a month. Did the whole modification process and was ordered 200$ more a month than he was currently paying. He objected. We had a telephone administration hearing about a month later and they spit out another number only about 20$ less than the original modified amount. So it would be like $700 a month.
He objected AGAIN to that amount. But I was never notified of this. I didn't receive payments reflecting the new amount and reached out to the child support agency in my state. They said it was objected and the hearing is tomorrow morning. This was about a week ago. It took til today to hear back from them that it's a hearing in court, in front of a judge, because he objected twice now. But the confusing part is they say I don't need to attend. Then later state than I can if I want to present my side. This is so last minute that I cannot find child care to drive two hours and do the whole hearing unprepared.
They said it's a hearing because he's the one that objected and a judge can say any amount they want for the final order. I'm so concerned because my ex has many misconceptions about why there was a modification in the first place. He claims he can't afford his rent with the new amount and his car could break down any day. I don't know if they take these things into account. Is he going to spin a bunch of lies about me trying to lower the amount? He thinks it's because I had another baby to my new boyfriend but that doesn't effect any of this as the new baby's father buys all her needs. This is solely due to his higher paying job. Will I lose out if I can't go and present my case? I don't even know what to present. I'm so scared whats going to happen because I can't be there and the fact I wouldn't even know about this if I didn't reach out in the first place.

2024.04.20 11:52 maursby Problems with Builder

I have an owner builder permit to extend our home. I was going to subcontract but a licensed builder said he could do the whole build for me using my owner builder permit. He said he would give me a 7 year warranty first the work he does but I won’t have an HIA guarantee and I would save a few thousand this way. Happy with this we are senior Australians and having him manage the whole project would save us a lot of stress. The whole build was $75,000 for a 32sq metre extension, no kitchen, no bathroom and removal of walls in the existing dwelling.
We had a 70th birthday planned and he assured us that the build would completed well before that date.
Both parties signed a quotation and work commenced on 9 January and was to be completed in 8 to 10 weeks. It is now 16 weeks since commencement and we are not at lockup yet. Getting extra long roofing iron and Colorbond held up the build. It was due for delivery on 18 March but was not delivered until 28 March. It was almost completed at the end of last week.
We advised the builder we could move out of the house into our caravan so he could do the modification to the existing dwelling while waiting for building materials. No response.
We had to make alternate arrangements for the party and alternate accommodation for family during the party. He won’t answer his phone and he only partly answered texts or emails if at all.
He has rarely been at the site and all the work that has been dine is by his worker.
We sent him an email on 2 April asking him meet with us in person or telephone to talk but he did not reply.
We sent him an email on Wednesday 17 April asking one again for a face to face meeting by Close of business yesterday or we would he to do to Domestic building Dispute Resolution Victoria as he refuses to communicate with us we had no alternative and simply want him to finish the build.
He replied that he doesn’t have time to meet with us. We have an attitude and are difficult to deal with. He’s had health issues etc and it’s not his fault materials have been delayed.
I don’t know what to do and what rights I have, if any. We have paid him $57000 so far with a balance of $17,000 remaining to finish the work including a timber deck 3.9 x 12 metres.
Any advice would be welcome.

2024.04.18 08:44 Clara_Bonnet__ La réforme du marché de l'électricité adoptée par l'UE

Dernières mesures prises avant le renouvellement du Parlement européen en juin. Initiée suite à la crise énergétique de 2022, la réforme du marché de l’électricité a été adoptée par les eurodéputés le jeudi 11 avril.
Rendre le marché plus stable et pérenne pour les consommateurs et la planète. C’est l’objectif fixé par la réforme, qui entend améliorer les capacités d’adaptation du secteur de l’électricité européen, tout en réduisant la volatilité des prix.
Une attention particulière est également portée aux énergies décarbonées pour répondre aux ambitions européennes en matière d’énergie d’ici 2050.
Approuvée à une large majorité, la réforme avait déjà fait l’objet d’un accord mi-décembre entre les négociateurs des États-membres et ceux du Parlement européen.

Une réponse à la crise énergétique

La réforme a été pensée en réponse à l’instabilité du système énergétique européen.
En effet, les prix de l’énergie n’ont cessé de croître depuis l’été 2021. La reprise économique suite à la pandémie de la Covid-19, puis le déclenchement de la guerre en Ukraine en février 2022 ont d’abord lourdement impacté le marché.
L’interdépendance du cours du gaz et de l’électricité a aggravé la crise, tandis que la faible production hydroélectrique, liée aux importantes sécheresses, et l’inefficacité du secteur nucléaire français ont exacerbé une inflation qui affecte encore l’Europe aujourd’hui. Dès 2022, la présidente de la Commission européenne, Ursula von der Leyen, a souligné les failles du marché : “Ce système ne fonctionne plus.”
Ainsi, le texte devait initialement présenter une refonte complète du système électrique : la révision a néanmoins été repensée pour cibler les points clés permettant la protection des consommateurs, sans ébranler les fondements du réseau européen.
Nicolás González Casares, eurodéputé espagnol à la direction des révisions du marché, a souligné les difficultés rencontrées par les consommateurs lors de ces crises, et la nécessité de répondre à ces enjeux. Modifications unilatérales des contrats, clients parfois déconnectés des réseaux électriques… Autant de problèmes qui fragilisent les particuliers. Il explique ainsi qu’“il est essentiel de protéger le consommateur face aux injustices en cours.”

Les mesures clés

Le texte comporte une série de dispositifs qui protègent le consommateur en cas de crise. Ils ont été pensés au regard des événements de 2022 pour que l’Europe puisse désormais disposer “d’un marché de l’électricité socialement juste”, selon les mots de Nicolás González Casares.
La législation prend notamment une nouvelle mesure pour protéger l’accès à l’électricité des particuliers les plus modestes : il sera désormais interdit de couper l’approvisionnement des consommateurs “vulnérables” ou en situation de “précarité.”
L’utilisation de compteurs intelligents, et la proscription des hausses de prix unilatérales “à prix fixe” assureront aussi une sécurité énergétique aux foyers précaires.
Les États européens pourront d’autre part déclencher un dispositif de crise en cas de perturbation majeure du marché de l’énergie, comme celle survenue en 2022, ou d’inflation exacerbée.
La durée de cette “situation de crise” ne pourra excéder un an, mais le dispositif permettra aux membres d’agir efficacement afin d’assurer la protection des ménages vulnérables et des entreprises. Des mesures comme le bouclier tarifaire ou la rémunération des consommateurs réduisant leur consommation lors des pics journaliers par les gestionnaires de réseaux stabiliseraient ainsi le système.
Plusieurs conditions doivent être réunies pour déclarer une crise : si les prix du détail augmentent de façon significative d’au moins 70%, et stagnent à ce niveau pendant plusieurs mois, ou si les prix moyens de gros sont 2,5 fois plus élevés que lors des cinq dernières années, avec un pic d’au moins 180 euros/MWh. Le dispositif de sécurité permettra dans ce cas aux gouvernements d’intervenir directement sur le marché, pour atteindre une baisse de 80% du prix pour les ménages.

Ce que la réforme change pour les entreprises

Si la réforme prévoit d’assurer la stabilité des entreprises, elle entend également leur imposer un certain nombre d’impératifs pour rendre le marché pérenne.
La réforme favorise les contrats d’achat d’électricité de long terme à prix décidé d’avance, ou PPA, entre un producteur et un opérateur ou un industriel qui revend l’énergie aux consommateurs. Ces contrats permettront de limiter la volatilité des prix du gaz.
Pour assurer la protection des particuliers et la stabilité du marché, les États membres seront en mesure de contraindre les fournisseurs d’électricité à l’utilisation des PPA. Les PME et promoteurs d’énergie renouvelable seront également encouragés à conclure des ventes de PPA. Le texte prévoit en outre certains dispositifs pour favoriser le déploiement des énergies renouvelables, ou sans carbone.
Le soutien gouvernemental aux investissements dans la production décarbonée lancés après 2027 se matérialise ainsi dans les contrats pou la différence, ou CFD. Si les revenus générés par le cours du marché excèdent le prix du contrat, le producteur reverse la différence à l’État. En revanche, si le cours s’écroule, l’État doit offrir une compensation à l’entreprise. De quoi offrir davantage de visibilité aux acteurs du secteur.
La réforme incite également les États-membres à promouvoir les énergies renouvelables et les centrales nucléaires neuves, grâce aux contrats d’écart compensatoire. Ces textes assurent un revenu minimum aux fournisseurs, qui ne dépendent pas du prix du marché. Les bénéfices sont cependant limités par la loi.
La révision du système prévoit néanmoins la possibilité de subventions des centrales électriques au charbon par les gouvernements jusqu’à la date butoir de 2028. La Pologne soutient particulièrement cette mesure, qui a poussé les écologistes à se retirer.

Des ambitions modestes : la question écologique

Si la loi a été votée à une large majorité par les eurodéputés (473 votes favorables, 90 contre), les écologistes dénoncent un texte peu ambitieux, qui laisse encore trop de place aux énergies carbones. Michael Bloss, négociateur pour les Verts, indique ainsi que “la loi finale ne réalise pas ce qu’elle promettait, à savoir établir les bases d’un système électrique entièrement renouvelable.”
Plusieurs pays, comme la Pologne, ont fait part de leur désir d’être dispensés des mesures écologiques que prévoit le texte, comme les limites d’émission de CO2. Une dérogation a ainsi été accordée pour que la réforme puisse s’appliquer aux centrales fossiles, particulièrement polluantes, jusqu’en 2028, à condition d’avoir été construites avant 2019. Une mesure qui fait grincer les dents des écologistes, alors que la question des énergies renouvelables est au cœur de l’actualité française.
